exciting races we have ever witnessed on the Mag

Der Of ladies' lending the attraction of their bright
| eyes and charming smiles to the occasion. We
witnessed this race throughout, and we enjoyed it.,
| 80 much indeed that we are not, we confess, COM
| petent to give such description of it as it de-
| serves. We~were so greatly interested in the
struggles of the gallant steeds that really we for
| get some of the incidents Of the race, which we
| might work up into lengthy account of it. Suf-
ace it, that Fanny Washington was the favorite
! against the field with those who " sported'' their
| money on the race, but Neil Robinson had some
/ strong friends who stood up to him, and took the
current odds quite freely; while Mogul and Joe
| StOner found but few hackers.
| The above named horses came to the score and
got off at the first tap of the bell, (Goodwood be-
ing lame was withdrawu] Mogul leading to the
first turn, when Fanny took the track and kept it,
close pressed by NeiA Robinson to the score, Stoner
| third and Mogul disanced.
The second and third heats were won by Nel
who took the track at the signal to go and kept il
| throughout, Fanny and Joe Stoner in close com
pany, and playing for the first place from end tt
end.
The race was productive of a vast deal of ex
| citement to all, and, particularly to those VIII
were on the right horse, vast deal of pleasure.
The meeting, so far, has been most successful
one, and bids fair to wind up in blaze of glory
