The public interest was curiously divided between (lie Beaufoi-d-Gloaming contest, from a strictly sporting standpoint, and the Derby and Epsom from a speculative angle, 'he bud; of the patrons wore satisfied to watch the Spring Stakes, which resolved into a battle of tactics between the rival jockeys, Wood and Young. Tno great crowd warmly applauded both horses after the magnificent two furlongs’ struggle to the post, if was anybody’s race till the numbers were posted. Bcauford had the advantage of the more skilled horseman. The Epsom, as was largely predicted, resulted in Jirst. and second places for Connolly’s pair, both oT whom were gtron.gly favoured for several weeks.
