rally moved off.
To-day the weather has not been very inclement,
nor very favourable, a strong breeze prevailing from
the south, but without rain. The shew of company
on the race hill was gratifying to behold, though the
presence of the Prince was wanting to make the scene
complete. One half of the stand was principally filled
with ladies, while the other half was appropriated,
as is customary, for the dashers and sportsmen of the
turf. The sports and their results, were as follow--

In the first race, Guardy bolted, and after being
turned twice by his rider, endeavoured to recover the
ground he had lost, Election being about a quarter
of a mile in advance, but ineffectually. The odds
were 5 to 2 on Election at starting.
The next and last race of the day was won easily
by the favourite, St. Andero, in the course of which,
the only incident worth noticing was, that Nuncio
broke down.

If we may judge from the enterprizing spirit of the

vie with Noah of Holy Writ. The arrival cf the
last India fleet has proved highly propitious to his
exertions, having brought home some very valuable
acquisitions—amongst which that most extraordinary
animal the Rhinoceros, or Unicorn of the ancients,
makes a conspicuous figure ; its body being covered
with an impenetrable coat of mail or armour, that
will resist a musket ball, and has at all times been
considered as one of the greatest rarities in the brute
creation. The beauty of the Zebra exceeds descrip-
tion, not forgetting the enormous bulk and sagacity
of the Elephant, as also the magnificence of the ma-
jestic Lions, or the grandeur of the tremendous
Royal Tygers, Leopards, Ste. To attempt to give
an idea of this truly valuable and unique assemblage
is nearly impossible. •
