TROTTING RACES AT AINTREE.

On Wednesday a number of persons interested in horse-
racing were assembled at the Aintree Racecourse, by the
announcement that several trotting races would take place,
the most exciting of them being a match for .e2OO between
the notorious pony Jackey, the property of Mr. Holmes, and
a well-known mare, The Maid of Allwork. The result was a
great disappointment to the assembled company, for this race,
from some unexplained cause, did not take place. Both
horses came to the starting post, ready for the race, when, to
the astonishment of all present, the rider of The Maid of
Allwork took her back to the stable. This unexpected event
gave great annoyance to all on the ground, and many remarks,
the reverse of flattery to the owners of both animals, were
uttered loudly by the disappointed crowd. The following are
