and Engsh horses 10 parted additional attraction TO
ths /" Cup Day. Prior and Prioress came 70 England
With vast reputation, while Florin and Monarque
were not unknown 10 fanie. The Americans regarded
he success Of one Of their horses with no little CONT
denee, and il must DC confessed that although Prior
and Pro-ess were defeated. they not disgraced.
The horse hered considerably being stripped, but

ground but their riders escaped any serious injuries
DAVID Hughes carried s.o the stand, and the
Duke of Richmond with his usual kindness and urban
Ky, wac instantly in attendance upon him. Hughes
was only severely shaken; ne moved to the Chi
chester lnfnnary where he received prompt medical
assistance. 1t s impossible now to tell what might
have been the resul. Of the had accident hap

borses-vbieh were ridden by native jockeys, 10
striped jackets and stared caPsuight have figured
still more prominently had they been ntrusted u men

EpgH jockeys. Indeed in turf phraseolOgy, Proress
booked ''all over the winner" at the distance. The
French people present not little ratifed by the
success Of Monarque, and the prize which they will
cany with them to France Is trophy worthy OF pos
session.
Although the Cup was the leading event in the days
sport YET there were other races Of peculiar interest
decided and which gave rise to brisk specula-
ton. The results are fully detailed below.
The mos. important and uncertain element in an

breezes which delightfully."- tempered the heat Of the
sun.
Perhaps the Attendance Of general company was
never larger any former anniversary of the sCup
Day" and, as proof our assertion, we may state
fact that brings CONVICTION with it. MIR. Mason, the
printer of the cards sold out his entire stock soon after
the races commenced, and was compelled TO go to
press" again the in order to supply the in-
creasing demand. The run on the refesnment dc.
parteht was extraordinary and at last the stock of
sandwiches was exhausted although Mr.. Careless had
catered with his usual lberaty to supply the many
Eiouthed multitude.
