ings, one held on the downs al Brighton, tho
other on the uplands overlooking the quaint Old
town OF Lewes, which is also on the coast Of
Sussex. The former extends over three days, the
latter over two, and it is now concluding. The
fortnight has, on the whole, been hardly so enjoy
able as usual, Tor the weather has been of an un~
satisfactory description, rain falling on most OF tho
days, accompanied by high wind. Brighton mas,
however, been extremely gay and almost incon-
venienty iull, as it generally is during the racing
fortnight when nearly the whole turf community
which rarely enjoys hoday-goes down to the.
seaside to combine business with amusement
The races though they were not Of a very high
character were great success large fields going
to the post tor the principal hand.caps and some
OF the finishes being exceedingly close and exclt-
ing. The most important Of the handicaps was
THE BRIGHTON STAKES,
which, though it brought to the post only small
body OF horses, interesting from the TACT that
it introduced us TO new candidate for the st.
Leger. This was scamp, who has recently dstin-
guished himself considerably. He ran In the Ascot
Stakes, for which he was beaten by the two stable
companions Coventry and Feve, he obtaining the
third place. On that occasion Feve was concedng
him sixteen pounds TOR the years dnerence in
their ages, anu beat him head for the hOnors OF
the second position Feve himself finishing .
length in rear OF Coventry. Feve and scamp met
again in the GoodwOOd Stakes, when the former
was concedng seventeen pounds. and he was
beaten long way, the race falling TO Scamp.
This seemed TO snow that Scamp was very inn
proving animal, while Feve was not, or, on the
other hand, that Feve had greatly deterorated.
while Scamp had stood still. They met once more
in the race for the Brighton Stakes, wnen the
former theory appeared TO be thoroughly estaD-
lished. On this occasion Feve was called on to
concede only tour pounds for the difference in
their ages but the result was as decisivey IN faver
OF Scamp as ever, will be seen from the follow
ing summary:
