There was very slight competition for any of the articles,
and we did not observe that they were knocked down to
persons of distinction. The proceeds of the sale could not
have amounted to any considerable sum. Most of the cos-
tumes were superbly embroidered in gold, from original
drawings and designs by artists of celebrity.

HAMPTON RACKS—Xzwrian&T.
The expectation that his Majesty would honour the sports
of the far-famed Moulsey Hurst with his presence, had a
marked effect on the attendance yesterday. It was very
fashionable, and by far the fullest ever seen at Hampton.
After all, the wishes of the majority of the visitors met with
a complete disappointment, none of the Royal Family having
attended; the Drawing-room is the alleged cause of their
Majesties not having realised the promise held out to the
public.
The Coburg Stakes of 5 soya. each, and 20 added, was
won by Mr. Smith's Harmony.
Two year old Stakes of 25 sovs. each ; colts, Bst. 711); and
Allies, bat. 41b. (half a mile,) was won by his Majesty's ch.
c. by Waterloo, or Middleton.
The Gold Cup, added to a Sweepstakes of 10 goys. each ;
5 yrs, Sat. 41b; 4 yrs, Est ; 5 yrs, Bst. 101 b; 6 yrs, and

extra. The winner to be sold for 250 soy& &c. Heats,
once round and a distance. Wu won by Mr. Osbaldeston's
Apuntador, 5 yrs.
