The races on Wednesday drew almost, if not quite, as large an atlendaueu as on .boxing Ijay, and no wonder either, for jbhe weather and other circumstances Avore more favourable, arid'tho program mew as, oh tho whole, more attractive. The races wore run on thou: genuine merits, and taking it for all in all, wu boliovo the best horses won. Q'lir readers ;\\ho wyre not present oil the course can judge for themselves' from the following description of th<; I'aCOS l— ' i ' Demjy Stakes, of lOOsovs., added to a sweepstakes of lOsovs. each ; iJ.sovs. on nomination, 3sovs. on acceptance,, on day of general entry, osovs. at the post.

Edward's chf Misdemeanour 3 Very little interest was taken in this race, and very little money was staked on it, for although it was generally known that Omega was out of form, aud had, in fact, been a cripple since Boxing Day, and that he came on the course bandaged, he was hqld a. strong favourite. He was ([uit'e lame before tho start, but the hotting, was 2 to 'l on Oniega, and '6 to V bar one.. |t \yas not much of a racy' any way. Tl^e ■.-rippled- colt had it a]| lps own Ayay., Althea's fine legs could not carry a Avegcty body, and she had to give plaou to' her betters in breeding and stamina. As for Misdemeanour, she never had a show, being out-paced from tho first. Omega wbiTas ho liked, by nearly ten lengths, at a cantor. Time, 3iuiu. «|soo.

Thoro was atill a su^cieutly ,

good field to lend interest to tho raw. The colt looked on the wholo rather small, but a perfect pioiui-o of nymiuetry, aud ; his performance allowed that ho was worthy tho sou of such a sire as Traducor and auclr a dam a 3 Yatteriua.
