old, Opera, 3 years old, and bay colt by Liverpool, out of

mond, Yorkshire. _ _

HOLYWELL HUNT.—By a recent resolution passed by the
members of this club, the stakes will in future be open to all
parties, whether members of the club or not; a measure
which cannot fail to tend considerably to the improvement
of the meeting. There are already thirteen subscribers to
the Mostyn Handicap.
MELBOURNE AND BEN NETT.—We are authorised to
state, that the owner of Melbourne is ready to run St. Ben-
nett a match over York, at the ensuing August meeting, at
equal weights, two miles, for any sum he may choose to name.
NEWTON Mooa RAcEs.—\Ve understand that the spirited
and wealthy inhabitants of Newton Moor, Hyde, and Dukin-
fiel4, ace about to establish horse races, to come off aboht the
latter end of August in every year, in lieu of the festivities
usual at this season. A very handsome sum has already been
subscribed towards the race fund, and we doubt not, in con-
sequence of the support offered by several sporting gentle-
man, this meeting w►ll not be excelled by any other, on a
similar scale, in the kingdom. _

AINTREE RACE COURSE.-It may not be generally known
in the sporting world, that the magnificent stand, capacious
inn, (the Sefton Arms,) the cock-pit, bowling-green, exten-
sive stabling, the course, and the lease of the property, was
the spirited enterprise of W. Lynn, Esq., of the Waterloo
Hotel, and one or two friends, at a cost of near £30,000, the
remuneration for which was reaped by the letting of the
booths, stand receipts, &c. &c. However, in consequence of
that gentleman's continued indisposition, it is now proposed
to transfer the property to a public company; and it is con-
fidently anticipated that, by placing the whole in the hands
of the public, it will add increased attractions to the meeting.
which no single individual exertions could be expected to
realize.
