The majority of the members having left town, for the
Horwich races, before the usual hour of meeting, the
slight business accomplished scarcely warrants our ven-
turing upon anything in the shape of figures. The P.. -

the forenoon, allowing for any alterations which may have

on the events of the week, and those still anticipated, was
not carried on with much animation. The events touched
upon were the following :

THE GREAT YORK HANDICAP.
8 to 1 agst Val au Vaunt (taken)
9 1 Yardley (taken and offered)

The race does not appear yet to have been much noticed
by the " influentials."
