THE OAKS STAKES.

The race fer these &akes constituted the principal attraction of
the day; but, as was the case in the race for the Derby, an outside
horse again won, and thus dkappoieted all the calculations of the
knowing ones. The Duke of Grafton's ch. f. Problem was the
favourite, and after •arious fluctuations, was ultimately backed even
against the Field. The race was decided as follows :

Air. Forth's b. f. by Interpreter, out of Dandizette's dam
Duke of Grafton's ch. f. Problem, by ;Merlin, out of Pawn 2
The following also ran, but were not placed
Duke of Grafton's b. f. I'arapluie, by Nlet lin, out of Parasol.

Mr. Green name, b. 1. G4metia, by Witafebone.
Mr. S.:tiler's b. 1. Ruben, out of Little Fully.

Nlr. Russell's b. E Louisa, by Orville, out of Quadrille.
The odds at starting were 16 to 1 agst the winner; S to 1 apt
Tears; 8 to 1 agst Peraplule ; 12 to 1 apt Mignionette.
Problem made all the running to Tottenham Corner, when Mr.
Forth's came out, and a sharp contest took place to the distance post.
Mr. Forth's then took the lead, and won cleverly by a length.—
Mignionette was third, although not placed by the Clerk of the
Course. Upon the decision of the race, the faces, which had been
sufficiently lengthened by the proceedings of the day before, were
rendered still longer, and all looked astonished at their want of
discrimination. Problem, however, seemed to have justified the
favour in which she had been held.

the Race Fund, fur three-yrs•old and upwards.

Mr. Hale's b. c. by Rubens, 4 yrs • odr
The sports, as usual, concluded with a mill. A purse of 81. was
collected, for which Pick, the Bristol Youth, and Turner, the
fighting Butcher contended. It was a manly, although not a very
scientific battle, and was decided in favour of the Bristol Youth,
against whom the odds were two to one. The ring was broken, and
great confusion prevailed, so that It would be impossible to enter
into details. The Bristol Youth, however, proved himself an " out-
ord-out" fighter, and completely set aside the confidence of his, fes4
opponent, who was carried of the ground senseless.
It is expected that the settling day fur the Derby ( Tuesday next)
will be one of the most boisterous ever witnessed. Several persons
have declared openly that they will not pay their bets on the General.
They say they have been completely out-generallcd, and will not
submit without a determined skirmish. According to the rules of
the Turf, we cannot see how they are to escape their fate.
