The Currier, 6 to 1 agst. Mobarek, and 7 to 1 agst. Hyllus. After several unimportant changes in the first half-mile, Currier went to the front and made play to the turn into the straight ground, well attended, the favourite handy, and making a waiting race. Opposite the Old Stand, Nat brought up his mare, ran a terrific struggle home, and succeeded in landing her first by a neck. Nothing was near the two first-and the tailing was awful. Sweepstakes of 200 sovs. each, h. ft., for three-year-old colts, 8 st. 7 lb., and fillies, 8 st. 4 lb. ; those by stallions, or out of mares, whose produce never won, allowed 3lb.; if both, 5 lb.; Swinley Course (five subscribers).

Betting: 7 to 4 on Lanercost, and 3 to 1 agst. Satirist (tk). The work at the start was taken up by Teleta, who ran out at the turn, where Miss Stilton took her place, with Satirist second, and Lanercost third. As they rounded the turn at the old mile post Miss Stilton bolted, but was soon righted, and, again getting the lead, came first to the turn for home, when she finally cut it. Satirist was now in front, with Lanercost at his heels; a fine race ensued, but, finally, the old one was beaten by a length. E. O. was a tolerable third, and the others beaten off.

St. Francis, at one part of the race, beat Fambeau for second place, but could not hold his ground. Bloomsbury never had a chance, and was beaten off. 1 2 A Sweepstakes of 100 sovs. each, h. ft.; for colts, 8 st. 7 lb.; and fillies, 8 st. 4 lb.; out of mares that never bred a winner previous to the July Meeting, 1838; new mile (eight subscribers).

LONDON: WRIGHT AND CO., PRINTERS, 76, FLEET STREET AUGUST, 1841. EMBELLISHMENTS. "GHUZNEE," WINNER OF THE OAKS, 1841, PAINTED EXPRESSLY THIS WORK, MR. J. F. HERRING; 96 NEWMARKET JULY MEETING, BY THE EDITOR GLEANINGS FROM MY TRAVELLING JOURNALS, BY LORD WILLIAM TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS. A Subscriber wishes to know whether the Rosalie colt, that occupied so prominent a place in the Derby betting for 1841, started at the late Ascot Meeting, as stated in the following passage in the "New Sporting Magazine" for last month : "Lord Bruce's Rosalie colt came forward, and won a Fifty-pound Sweepstakes, in the way in which he was once expected to have won the Derby, i. e., in a common canter." Lord Bruce's colt, out of Rosalie, in the Derby for the present year, did not run at the last Ascot Races. A two-year-old, so described, won a 50 sov. Sweepstakes, twelve subscribers; beating a field of five on the first day: had he won the late Derby, it certainly would not have been "in a common canter." The firm of Messrs. Tattersall, at Hyde Park Corner, consists of Messrs. Richard, Edmund, and Richard Tattersall, jun.
