LONDON, Nov. 20, 1872.


The meeting at Warwick is always highly popular
one, and usually attracts not only very large
company, but great body OF horses all those that
took part in the sport at Shrewsbury coming over
here to pick up, If possible, something towards
their Winters ''keep." AS a rule the racing Is not
OF very high order, and the animals that go to the
post are generally of the medium handicap charac-
ter; but there were one or two events wen worthy
OF notice. There has been an immense quantity Of
rain lately, ana the course was in terrible
state many parts of it being covered with
great sheets OF water, through which the
horses spashed their way, to the total up
setting OF all public form. As usual, the meet
ing was a great one for the professional bet
ting men and most disastrous one for the back
ers The first event which calls for remark was the
Guy Cup-caled after the great Guy OF Warwick
which brought out field OF good handicap ami
mails. The following is a summary

1t was with difficulty that the starter got them,
and when the flag fell 1t was to one Of the worst
starts ever seen, Jock of Oran obtaining an advan-
tage OF at least twenty lengths OF everything else,
the nearest Of the others being Festival, Pitchfork,
Flying Childers Belisarius and Night Star. Some
OF these got nearer the leader as they went on; F;
but still when they got into the straight Jock Of
Oran was ten lengths in advance OF Festival,
Meleurge and Night Star. This last soon beat the
other two but with all his efforts he could not
catch Jock, who easily by four lengths, three
quarters OF length between second and third.
Objections were afterwards lodged by Prince
Batthyany, Mr.. Chaplin and Mr.. GrettOn against
the winner on the ground of a flying start; but
and Mr.. Gerard Stuart, NJ. p, they confirmed the
verdict OF the judge.

aid patched-up horse, and he finished his racing
career by breaking down as soon as he had passed
the post, but not before doing good turn for Mr..
Brayley, who has not been very fortunate for some
time past. The feature OF the race was the fine
