LIVERPOOL (AINTREE) RACES.

The Liverpool (Aintree) races commenced on Tuesday, and
have been the means of attracting to this place, as visitors, ail
the fashion and nobility of the neighbourhood. Every descrip-
tion of vehicle, from the coach and four down to the poney
chaise, covered cart, and horse, good, bad, and indifferent, has
been called into active servile for the accommodation of the
admirers of the sports of the turf. The North-'road has pre-
sented, dying the last three days, a continued stream of eques-
trian, vehicular, and pedestrian travellers towards Aintree;
and, but for the appearance of the people, a stranger might have
conjectured that Liverpool was sending forth its swarm to take
possession of some new discovered and unoccupied country.
On Wednesday the Grand Stand was full to repletion, and we
never saw a more brilliant array of female beauty than the bai-
cony presented to our view. The day was in perfect accord-
ance wkh the scene, for the sun shone bright without oppress-
ing us with his rays. The sport was not so good as on the pre-
vious day, or yesterday. On this subject we must confess our
ignorance of what is or is not
_good sport, never having been
initiated into the mysteries of jockeyship. We were pleased
because all that we saw around us appeared to be so, and had no
inclination to treat with critical severity the roundabouts, swings,
throwing sticks, and other pastimes that afforded amusement to
the " great unwashed," their wives and bairns, who, escaping
from their every-day cares, appeared to enjoy something like
an approach to " perfect happiness." What pleased us most
of all was the perfect order that appeared among this vast as-
semblage of people, and the readiness with which a very large
portion of them left the ground as soon as the races were at an
end. Those of yesterday were better contested than either of
the former days. The particulars are as follow :
