EISOM RACES.
The races commenced on Tuesday. The course has been much improved since last year-the principal alteration being in the Derby Course, commencing at the barn, where it takes a much wider sweep than formerly. The dangerous turn at Tattenham Corner is thus en. tirely done away with. Five hundred guineas have been Oven for the collection on the ground this year. The attendance on Tuesday was good for a first day. Among the distinguished persons present, were the Duke of Rutland, Marquis Conyngharo, Marquis Graham, Earl and Countess of Wilton, Earl of Jersey, Earl and Countess of Chester. field, Earl of Uxbridge, Count Matuschewitz, Earl of March, Sit Mark Wood, Mr. Berkeley Craven, Colonel Peel, Mr. Holyoake Goodricke, Mr. F.

At the distance post, Bel- shazzar declined, his place in the van being immediately occupied by Colviick, who, maintaining it lo the finish, won cleverly by two lengths; Clarion, second, Messenger and Belshazzar a couple of lengths astern of him (each claiming the third place). Samareand filth, Unicorn sixth, um Bin seventh, and Worthies, last. it mill be recol- lected that Colwiek. Clarion. and Belshazzar, ran for the Craven Saks at Newmarket, and that they came in precisely as above. There was this difference, however, in the manner of running, that the Newmarket Craven was slow, and won by a head, while its namesake at Ersem was very fast, and won in a canter. Its result drove Bubastes back in the Derby betting.

No race since the famous one between Cadland, the Colonel, and ZInganee, has excited so much interest. The
betters from the North backed Bubastes heavily. There were many also who bet on Shille- lagh. Plenipotentiary, Shillelagh, and Glencoe were the chief New- market favourites. Just before the race began, the betting stood as follows.
6 to '2 against Plenipotentiary. 25 to I against Intriguer.
3 to 1 -- Shillelagh (taken). 25 to 1 tklui hr.
7 to I- Bilbastes. 25 to 1 Brother to Marpessa.
10 to 1 Glencoe. 50 to 1 V iator.
H to 1 Comet. GO to 1 Barrosa.
20 to 1 !Janney.
There were five false starts, but at las the horses got off pretty well together. Glencoe tad Plenipo being first off. they rat; together a few yards, w hen Cottony gra- dually stopped his horse till Intriguer, Darius, Paris, brother to Kate. and Strailbally, intervened between him and Glencoe. Shillelagh lay more tbrward than is usual with Chimney, alio had a well-founded dread of Plenipotentiary ; Bubastes was also up with the foremost horses, but never made any slum in front. 111 the above order they went at a good pace till near the rails, where Plenipotentiary was lying inside, the six or seven horses first named beings° placed that he was left only the choice of going round them or waiting till they split ; this opportunity was afforded him betbre In, reached the turn, and he inunediately dashed through the opening, coining round the corner behind Darius, who was next to Intriguer and Glencoe. the two leading horses. here Shill°. ugh and Bentley began to get more forward, and the pace became exceedingly severe. At the road. Darius dropped off. and Plenipotentiary. passing Intriguer. went up to Gleucoe's quarters, ran with him till he found that he was beaten, and Chiracy coming up. went right a-head half way up the distance, and won in a canter by two lengths. Shillelagh defeated Glencoe about half a length, the latter beating Bentley by a length ; Intriguer was fifth, Darius sixth, and behind these were linbastes and Moretti). The first horses beaten were Guardian :tad brother to Martiessa, nor did Barrosa, Paris, Stradbally, Nisus, Trulla, Comet, Noodle. brother to Kate, or Trictrac cut a much better figure at the finish ; Olympic. Viator, and Defensive, were in the middle, but all were beaten off from the first three or four.
The result therefore was the following.
Plenipotentiary 1
Shillelagh 2 Glencoe 3
The others were not placed.
" It is satisfactory to add," saith the Turf historian, " that it was a true-run honest race, that the best horse won, and that the two favourites were first and second. Plenipotentiary was the gentleman's horse,'-that is, he was backed to large amounts by nearly the whole of the noblemen and gentlemen who are in thc habit of attending the Newmarket meetings; and his running proves that he is what Mr. Batson always declared him to be-the finest and best horse that has been seen on the English turf for many years. Mr. Batson wins about 5000/. in addition to the stakes, which amount to 3400/. clear."
