Bailey, Templeton, whet ■ the first round of the Members’ Plots ■was continued by Master Roy and Sweep Ibeingput in the slips, from which they were Bspeedily released. Sweep led to tho hare and Iturned, favoring tho black and white; but Hafter the first three turns, Sweep asserted his I superiority, and ran up a rapid score, finishing Hby a kill. Cain beat Dick Dead-eye easily, ■ having it all his own way. Flying Fish led ■Flyer in a long course, getting all tho earliest ■points, when, getting wide, Flyer got in by ■favour and held for several turns, after ■which the Fish again got in, and won a good ■course with lots to spare. Lady and Blush ■Rose were next slipped to a strong hare, but ■getting unsighted, ano course was called; but ■before she could be secured. Lady sighted, land ran on her own account for a long time, ■be result being that when they met again ■Blush Rose had the course in her favor from Itart to finish. Ogles and King David each lan a bye, Lord Byron being absent, I Tho first lies for the St. Leger were Initiated by Fun trying conclusions with Barlelle; the former led and worked well, ■driving splendidly to the fence, after which ■he black slut got in and was very busy, tho lesult being that she scored, although it was ■bought by most present that Fun had won ■ho course. Tho next course was a hollow ■iffair, Templeton leading Miss Ridley, and ■winning without giving her a show. A spanking course ensued between Bashful Maid and Whittle Nell. Tho latter led to the turn, when ■the Maid took charge of affairs, and held her Bown for tha remainder of the course, winning las she liked. Spy and Blackbird met, and ■the former scored, subsequent to which Master IWillie ran a bye. I The first ties for the Members’ Plato followed, Rover and Prairie Bird being slipped iThe brindle led to the hare ; Prairie Bird [then got in, and won the course with a kill, [in tho next course Cleo led Sweep and won a (well tried course, A good course ensued be[tween Blush Rase and King David, a long [slip being given, and it was nearly 400 yards [before tha brindle slut, still loading, reached [the hare, driving to the fence, and through, [when King David took command, but the hare racing away was lest without allowing tho King to score. Flying Fish and Cain I then ran a merry course, which was brilliantly won by tho slut, who beat the son of Adam

pointless. Ogles then ran a bye with Lord Byron, who gave the former a slating. The second ties of the Leger wore then begun.
