CRAM) CIVIC DINNEL

AT ti ASTI NOS.
Notwithstanding the torrents of rain which descended
on Sunday end Sunday night for several hours-e iihout
intermission, and on Monday blowing a strong gale
from the South-west, at an early hour vehicles of all
descriptions, from the most superb to the most humble,
crowded With fashion, beauty, elegance, and bloom-
ing rustics, decorated in stylish costumes, and
simple attire, suitable to their ranks in life, with
equestrians and pedestrians, were in active requisitions
ezpedking their direction to the Race Coursr, plopes
means having been adopted, through the attention and
superintendence of Mr. Ede and Farncomb, the tenant
of the bed, to draw off the water. At half past 11
o'clock (Monday) the Stewards of the Races, Joseph
Planta, Eq. M. P. and Frederick North, Esq. followed
by an extensive cavalcade of carriages, itc. arrived at
the scene of action ; and at one o'clock the Races com-
menced for the Town Stake of fifty sovereigns, which
was zealously contended for by six horses of known 1
celebrity, and Sunshine bore off the palm of victory. In I
the Sweepstakes, Wisk. a horse chosen and nominated
by EA, ard Millwaid, Esq. was successful—the Course
was a mile round, and on an average the task was ac-
complished in two minutes and a half. •
Oa Tuesday (the second day) the. Ladies' Plate of
Fifty Sovereigns was, with nearly an adequate stt uggle
acquired again t five others, by Hawke's-Eye; Sunshine
having beaten the first heat, was withds awn, to obviate,
agreeably to the rules, her being put up for sale. •
Chance won the Hack Stakes, but f• om a doubt
having arisen as to her general destination being mote
than a distance of TO mi.es from the Race Course, it is
not at present decided ehethet the award may not be
given to Fanny, the second in succession. The lines of
car. utge. ate judiciouly atraitgetl to the west, patallel
to the It ice C Anse, and the wai.:gnos and carts, &c.
were situated to the east. at the bottom of a sloping
hill. 'Diem was etegy a tonimodation anti co,. fait, by
the esecthin of booths at the summit of a c. nimanjing
eminence. A hand of [[[[[ sic wis in attentance, and
which g tecrently sent forth its dole-t swains. The
Race Coug,e was most elsg•bly si tutted in the middle
cf beautiful declivities, opening to the Sea loom the
south, and mesa tine romantic rich coning y to the north.
The spectators coop egated each day amounted to
many thousands. and amongst the number we:e se•

Mr. Bri,co. Mr. and Mrs. Boyce, &e. who apparently
appeared much pleased and delighted with the diversity
of amusements. It is justice to add, that high mice—
miums are due to the Stewards, for their superior regu-
lat.ons and attention on the occasion; and that peat
praises were merited by "Jr. Fielder, the Clerk of
the Course, for his tor ecttiess in keeping good order.
In the atterisooa of the fist day of toe races, at six
o'clock, there was a dinner at the Swan Royal Homi,
served up in the lanJlord's first style consisting cif ve-
nison anti taker lusuries, with excellent wines. to up.
wards of one hunched and 6 ty persona. The S•ewaids
presids.d, and afforded universal S.tisfaction. As soon
as the cloth was removed, appropriate toasts. song.,

and sparkling glass, prevailed. Subscriptions were en-
tered into fur the ensiling It ices, and L•ird Chichester
