MANCHESTER RACES.

WEDNESDAY, MAY B.—The splendour of the weather con-
tributed greatly to the enjoyment of an immense concourse of

served for Epsom, the entries to the various plates were decided
failures. The first race was for

two failures an excellent start was effected, Terpsichore having
a slight lead. At the top turn Indian Warrior came into colli-
sion with two men, who were knocked down, and the horse's
chance thereby extinguished. At the far side Billion the Wing
and Haricot headed Terpsichore, and remained in front until
half a mile from home, when Ethelwolf took up the running,
with Haricot, Talfourd, and Lady Evelyn in attendance, Chief
Justice joined them on reaching the straight running, and on
reaching the distance Talfourd and Ethelwoll retired, Haricot,
Lady Evelyn, and Chief Justice racing home together, and,
after an exciting contest, the latter won by half a length. An
objection to Chief Justice, on the ground that his nomination
had not been received at the proper time, was afterwards
withdrawn.
