Little . Judge , Starter , Olerk of the Course , and Stakeholder : -Major E. H. Maunsell . Clerk of the Scales : -Mr . J Forsythe . THURSDAY , APRIL 14 . From Wetherby to Crockey Hill is not a great dis tance , but in regard to atmospheric conditions one might as well have travelled from Cannes to John O'Groats . From warm and genial weather to arctic coldness within a few hours is a change which may well be termed violent . but still it is in accordance with the fitful samples which in England we are accustomed to . The unfavourable weather , together with a charge of one shilling , made for admission to the ground , had an appreciable effect upon the attendance , which was far from being large . On the other hand the fields were splendidly represented , and so far as regarded sport the patronage ought to have been large . Lieut . - Colonel the Hon . B. Legge discharged his duties as a steward in the most courteous and efficient manner , and was ably assisted by Major Scott - Chisholme and Captain Little , both of whom have a claim upon sportsmen for their thorough - going and genuine conduct on the turf . Upon Major Maunsell devolved the duties of judge , starter , clerk of the course and stakeholder , part of well have fallen upon the Xwhich might shoulders of Captain Bishop , whose dudes were somewhat limited . Mr. J. Forsythe was excellent clerk of the scales , and altogether the meeting was managed in a thoroughly satisfactory manner . The racing all through was up to a fairly good standard , large representative fields going to the post , and several good finishes being witnessed . tails of the racing are appended , and it need only be added that the enclosure was occupied by a large and influential company , at the invitation of the officers of the 9th Lancers .

Immediately on the fall of the flag the favourite took up the running and quickly assumed three lengths ' lead of Cherston and Rugby . Then Tom Tit travelled into second place , and Nicholas getting badly over the first two fences fell rapidly to the rear . Phyllis continued to show the way well clear of Capt . Johnson's gelding . Ohurston in the meantime being held in hand . Half way round the second circuit Major Chisholme gave his horse his head , but his challenge to Phyllis was well responded to , and the leader . never being beaded won by half al ngth ; Hugby was bad third , and , some distance away , Tom Tit passed in fourth .

Jim cut out the running at the outset , and then Nugget came forward but refused at the first fence past the post . The favourite and others also declined at the first attempt , but the lot quickly recovered , and again began to close up . Then Jim failed to answer a call , and Nugget assuming command came in clear of her field . The favourite had some hard luck . and Nugget commanding a very unsatis factory race home ran in a winner by a neck in front of Caraway ; Bonfire being two leagths away third . .Owner 1 .Owner 2 ...
