LONDON May 81, 1871.
The EPSON summer meeting concluded yester.
day, when the great event was the Oaks-the race
for three-year- Old 1llies-which bears the same re
lation to the Derby as the One Thousand Guineas at
Newmarket does to the Two Thousand. The Friday
OF the meeting is popularity known as the "iadics'
day." because the fair sex are supposed 10 take
peculiar interest In the result or the 0iks. for
reasons which VIII be evident. It is by far the
most charming day Of the whole gathering; for 1t Is
free from the constant excitement, struggle and
confusion which attend the Derby and leave their
effect IN soured tempers and bad headaches. There
Is generally large atendauce; but it Is OF higher
order than that which turns out on wednes.
day, and the "road" is then q particularly
pretty sight, with its handsome carriages
filed with the youth and beauty OF the West End.
AS on the afternoon the vehicles are drawn ND in
lines opposite the Grand Stand and on the brow Of
"the hill," and during the progress OF the great
race, when the luncheon baskets have been put
away and all the occupants are 6efched oil tho
seats watching the mares tearing up toward 1.-THE
furzes," dashing down from Tottenham Corner. the
spectacle is peculiarly attractive. For the informa.
uoh Oh your female readers may state that the
PREVAILING CoLoRs OF THE DRESSES,
both on wednesday ana on Friday, were blue and
white, particularly the lormer which very largely
prevailed every other tint. The weather yester.
day was very charming, for the heat OF the was
tempered by great masses or neecy clouds; there
was no rain, cool breeze swept over the Downs,
anu there was no dust on the ROAD which had been
visited BY heavy showers during the night The
Prince OF Wales came down on this occasion by
railway.
