fine, the course in excellent order, and the attendance of com- pany very good. The arrangements for preventing disorder and thiev- ing were superior to those of last year. The running on Monday was as follows.

Tuesday, the day of the Great St. Leger, attracted a numerous and distinguished company. Among those present, were the Dukes of Cleveland and Leeds, Lord and Lady Chesterfield, Lord Althorp, Lord Milton, Lord Mulgrave, Lord Wharncliffe, Sir John Key, Sir John Byng, and Mr. Gully.

The first race was for the

Two-year-old Paoncen STAKES of 100 sovereigns each, h ft.; for colts, 8st. 51b.; and fillies, 8st.31b. Red House iu. Nine Subscribers. Duke of Cleveland's b. c. by Velocipede 1 -

The following also started, but were not placed : —Mr. Batson's ch. c. Pleni- potentiary ; Mr. Watt's b. c. Bubastes; Duke of Leeds's ch. c. Valparaiso; Mr. W. Richardson's b. f. Lady le Gros; Mr. Heseltine's b. c. Warlaby Baylock ; Mr. Matson's bl. c. Loudon; and Mr. Chisholme's b. f. by Partisan. The result of this race was quite unexpected; as, immediately before the start, the betting was as follows.

11 to 10 on I'lenipotentiary, 7 to 2 agst. Shillelagh, 6 to 1 agst. Warlaby Baylock, 11 to 1 agst. General Chasse, 20 1 agst. Bran, 25 to I agst. Lady be Gros, 33 to 1 agst. Loudon, 40 to 1 agst. the winner, and 50 to 1 in running.

The horses got off at the third start-

" Buhastes taking the lead, followed at about a length and a half by Lady be Gros, Bran, Wallaby Baylock, and Valparaiso; these four being close together ; Plenipotentiary and -Chasse laid in the middle, and Shillelagh last of all till they got over the hill, when he took a position nearer the centre. In this way they went to the Red House, where a most significant change took place. Plenipo- tentiary was already in difficulty, and Connelly called on him in vain; whip and spur were resorted to, but there was no response. Plenipo—the pride of the South, the terror of the North—was actually beaten three- quarters of a mile from home. Luckily for him, Mr. Chishohne's filly had already cut it, or he would have been last. Having disposed of the crack horse, we may return to the Red House, where we find Bubastes about to give up, having run quite as far as the Malachias generally do. Lady Is Grua now came in front ; Bran, Warlaby Baylock, and Valparaiso still in front • and General Chasse just on the point of joining 1,1Lparry. Oil reaching the last turn, Touchstone, who had hitherto laid very p.. 't..ntly in the centre, went up to the I lading horses, and at the distance war alongside Lady le Gros and Chasse; ShIclagh also got nearer,

but was never able to reach them ; even at thispart of the race it was quite evident that Touchstone was site to win. Half way up the distance he went right away from his horses ; and although General Chasse and Bran did make a struggle, it was only for second place, which Bran obtained by about a head, Touchstone defeating him by nearly two lengths. Shillelagh was beaten about three parts of a length from the third ; behind hint were Loudon, Lady le Gros, then Warlaby Baylock, Bubastes, Valparaiso, and Plenipotentiary last of the lot ! and, as whipper-in, the Partisan filly, but a terrible long way astern."

There never was a more decided favourite for the St. Leger than Plenipotentiary, and his backers declared that be must have been short of work lately, and badly managed. After this race followed,
