LIVERPOOL JULY. ItACP.IS.Finsr DAY

(LORD STANLEY AND WILLIAM BLUNDELL, ESQ. STRAY:Inns.)
These races commenced on Tuesday last. The weather in the morn-
ing proved most inauspicious, the rain filling in torrents and the wind
being extremely high. As the day advanced, however, it began to
brighten up, and many who from the state of the weather had given
up all thoughts of proceeding to the races for that day at least, about
noon began to change their intention. The wind, however, still con-
tinued extremely boisterous and cold. From this reason the course
was thinner than we ever before observed it. There was, however, a
good muster of the sporting gentry, and the Grand Stand was occupied
by a considerable number of gentlemen, but, as was to be expected,
not many ladies. There were a good many conveyances on the course,
principally from Manchester, hut not many carriages. Booths and
games of various kinds were in the usual profusion ; the minor stands
presented a very naked appearance, scarcely a stand being a quarter
full and many entirely empty. We observed on the Grand Stand the
Earl of Derby, Lord Stanley, Lord Kelhane, Lord Robert Grosvenor,
Lord Eglington, Lord Charles Fitzroy, Lord Charles Bentinck. the
Hon. E. L. M. Mostyn, Sir James Boswell, the Hon. Mr. and Mrs.
Dundass, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Patten; Mr. Cornwall Leigh, Mr.
Bowes, M.P., Mr. C. Stanley, Captain Stanley. Hon. G. Lindsay, Col.
• Rawstorne, Mr. Mostyn, Mr. Lloyd Mostyn, Mr. E. G. Hornby, Mr.
E. Hornby, Col. Hornby, Mr. Phipps Hornby, Mr. Ramsey, Mr,
Parker, Captain Fitzroy, Mr. Phipps, Mr. Bolds, Sir Thos. Stanley,
Mr. Henderson, Mr. Forrester, Sir R. W. Bulkeley, &c.
The races commenced, at about three o'clock, with the Croxteth
Stakes. The betting on this race commenced with two to one on the
field, and, at starting, five to twq was offered, four to one against Amu-
rath; hree to one against Jacob Faithful. Tom Shipman was the
favourite. Amurath took the lead, closely followed by Jacob Faithful
as second, Tom Shipman third, and Actaeon fourth. Amurath main-
tained his position to the winning-post, heating the best in a common
canter by three or four lengths. Tom Shipman came second, Friar
Tuck third, Jacob Faithful fourth, and Actaeon fifth ; the last three
named were tailed off by a long distance.
In the second race, for the Sweepstakes of 50 sovs. each, Sir Thos.
Stanley had two horses running, and declared previous to the ruuning,
that he intended to win with the mare, if possible. Only three
horses started. The betting was'six to four on the horse, and two to
one on Stanley's winning the race. Lord Westminster's Sarcasm was
not. without backers at odds. The mare made the running by taking
the lead at a slapping pace, all well up. She kept her station until
within 100 yards of home, when Lord Westminster's challenged. The
three were abreast the last quarter of a mile, but, eventually, Sir
Thomas's Japhet shot out and won by about a head. This was a most
beautiful race, it being difficult to ascertain from the Grand Stand
which was the winner.
In the next race, for the Sweepstakes of 25 sovs. for two year old
colts, half mile distance, five horses only started, Calender, Bangalore,
Portland, Parolles, and Pammon. The betting was five to four on Ca-
leudar, seven to four against Pammon, and five to one against Banga-
lore. This was a good race, all started well together; the contest was
principally between Bangalore, • Pammon, and Calendar, the former
winning with some difficulty, Callender coming in third.
• The last race was for a Maiden Plate of 80 sovs. Heats. Three
horses started. Mr. Wilkin's eh f Miss Rachel, Mr. Thomas's br f
'Frances; and Mr. Tilburn's br c Master Christopher. In the first heat
Frances took the lead, followed by Christopher, Rachel keeping be-
hind, her jockey saving her for the two next heats, Master Christo-
pher, after a short contest, won cleverly by a neck. The betting was
six to four on Master Christopher. In the second heat Miss Rachel
took the lead at a slapping pacesappearing determined to win, fol-
lowed by Frances, and Master Christopher behind. This order was
preserved to the winning post, Rachel coming in first by two or three
lengths. Betting now rose in favour of Miss Rachel ; it was evident,
however, that she had done her utmost, in this heat to conic in first,
and Master Christopher still continued to be the favourite. In the
third heat Rachel again took the lead at a severe pace, appearing de-
termined to win if she could, the other two horses preserving the
same order as in the last heat. Within a hundred yards of the win-
ning post, Master Christopher made running, challenged, and 'won
easily by three or four lengths. On the Stand the betting for next
day's Cup was principally on General Chasse and the field ; three to
two on the field were offered against him to large amounts and taken.

SECOND DA Y—(WEDNESDA Y.)
The Race-course, this day, presented a very different aspect to the
day previous. The weather was still cold and windy but fine. In
consequence, all the race-going public were on the qui vire ; every
conceivable vehicle both likely and unlikely was put in request, and
the road to the Race-course, from eleven o'clock in the morning, was
crowded by carriages, coaches, omuihusses, cars, carts fitted-out,
equestrians, and pedestrians. The course presented the most animated
and beautiful appearance, the crowd densely thronging almost all
round the coarse, whilst horsemen and carriages were galloping and
driving about in the centre ; the sun giving brilliancy and gaiety to
the whole. The Grand Stand was crowded to excess, a large propor-
tion being ladies. In addition to the company we observed on the
previous day on the stand, we saw Sir Thomas Hesketh, Mr. Bowes,
Mr, Hetherington, Lord Wm. Bentinck, the Hon. Mr. Forrester, &c.
&c. The minor stands were also crowded by dense masses of people,
The Tradesmen's Cup, a very handsome gold tureen, was exhibited
in front of the stand, and, together with the beauty and fashion near
it, attracted much attention.
The first race was the Foal Stakes of 107 sovs. for three year old
colts. For this race three horses started, Sir Thos. Stanley's ch cby
Teniers, Mr. W. Turner's oh c, by Peter Lely, and the Marquis of
Westminster's c, by Teniers. On coming out the three horses were
the admiration of every body. Three such fine horses have been
rarely seen pitched against each other. The Marquis's was, however,
the favourite ; his size and strength, combined with his beautiful form
and easy and slapping pace, evidently showed hint the winner. Peter
Lely took the lead at starting, followed by the Marquis, and Sir Thos.
last. The pace at first was slow—a common canter; about half way
round, however, the Marquis challenged and passed his competitors,
and the pace immediately became very sevete. On coming up the
straight distance all three were abreast, and the race to the winning
post was beautiful. About fifty yards from the winning post the Mar-
quis galloped away, and won cleverly by about two lengths. The
betting in this race was principally on the Marquis.
The next race, for the Tradesman's Cup, was the grand race of the
day. Shortly before the horses came out. it was made known that
both Mundig and Oswald would start, as well as Verbena, De Roos,
Longinus, and Birdlime, and other horses of not much note. The in-
terest was very great. The betting was generally at six to five on the
field against the General, three to one against Birdlime, three to one
against Oswald, Mundig appeared to have lost favour. On the bell
ringing thirteen horses entered the field, and the excitement became
very great, every person appeared betting on the result. The start,
considering the number of horses, was a most beautiful one. The
puce the first time past the winning post was very severe ; Birdlime
was last, and the General about the middle. On turning the corner
the General got the rails by good jockeyism, and was placed second
horse, Birdlime about two lengths behind him. The horses all kept
well together round, the pace continuing extremely severe. On turn-
ing the corner, for the straight distance to the winning post, the horses
were all well up, and the excitement became intense. About half way
up the distance the General was first horse, Birdlime pressing close
behind, Mundig tailing, and Oswald about the middle. About one
hundred yards from home, the General was still -first horse, and the
shouts of the crowd were " the General has it again ; " Birdlime chal-
lenged, and there was a beautiful and severe contest between the two ;
Birdlime, however, with much whipping on both sides, gradually
gained half a length, and came in Winner of the cup.
In the next race for the Wilton Stakes only Grenada and Vultnre
started. Vulture had it all his own way, winning in a common can-
ter. The farce of the day was the match for 50 sovs. between Mr.
Holland's Moses and Mr. Williamson's Monkey. Monkey was the
favourite, and there was a good deal of betting on the result. Mon-
key, however. at starting began to show off some monkey tricks, anal
his first feat, at the corner, was to rear straight up and almost spill
the jockey, which was followed by a spell at kicking, whilst the
jockey finding " no go " in him hammered away most unmercifully,
and was assisted by a shower of caps, sticks, and lasts from the
crowd ; all, however, would not avail, and Moses, meantime, was
"coming it easy" in a canter, going round the course alone. The last
race was for the Publican's Purse of 50 sovs. Heats; Miss Rachel
and Aratus only started, and Miss Rachel had it all her own way,
winning both heats easily.
Notwithstanding the crowded state of the course we have not heard
of any accident of serious consequence.
