' The aeeond day's races of tho abovo olub were more successful than -were thOEO on the first day, and the attendance of .visitors was much larger, 'iho weather was dull and very wintry all day, mantles and cloaks being in great demand. The various oflioials workod hard, and did their utmost to get the races off to time, and so avert tedious delay which waa 60 marked on the first day. Dospite their efforts, however, tho races dragged ,n little, tho last ono boing startod half an hoar lato. Mr JR. Ruthorford, who, by-the-bye, with his usual courtesy, consented to act as etarter at almost a moment's notice, wieldod the flag far better yesterday than ho did on Wednesday, and got nil his horses away well. By tho timo -visitors by the first train had reached the courso,' tho six horses coloured oh the card fir the Ilurdlo raeo wevo saddling up, and at 1 o'clock the lot of them were in line opposite tho starter. Each had about an equal following, tho winner of tho first day's hurdles just slightly pulling on tho othors in the machines. Tho raco was a topper, tho horsos jumping first class and doing tho 1£ miles splendidly. Irish King pushed Borderman closely at tho finish, but ilwongarb was not to be caught napping, bringing in his horso a clever winner by a length or two. For tho Handicap, tho big event of tho second day, tho scratching of Jack loft four only to sport silk. It was confidently thought that as the going was much bettor than on Wednesday there was nothing in it but Captain Webster, with Tit Bit for the bost outside show. At the full of tho flag Atho) Daisy and Tit Bit raced sido by side, but soon Daisy drew away and cut out tho running at a handsome paco. Sho could not last, howorcr, Tit Bit and Captain Webster wearing her down in turn. A j slashing set-to ensued between the pnir named — verdict, a win by a short neck for Tit Bit. The winner is not a handsome colt by any means, but ho can gallop capitally. Miss Lyle won the Selling Baco by a bare half length, after a very gamo strugglo with Gaiters. On being put up for sale no ono would bid tho owner's reserve (£SO). Tho Pony Race was rather a surpriso in ono rospoct, though tho way Nelly could travel soon got abroad, and money wns thercforo plunged on ber, the dividend being hardly worth lift ing. Tho Winter Oats was also a surprise, Rose and Gold winning as sho liked by over a length. Miss Lylo won tho Selling Hack Race after a good Bpin with a- racing-looking animal rejoicing in tho namoof Teddio, which called to mind thoughts of a donkey flutter, but on being put up for salo tho mare again did not elicit a bid. Tho Consolation was won by Jack, ono of tho most genuine and consistent racehorses that ever looked through a bric'le, who beat the hurdle racer Master Agnes by half a length, both horses being " nil out."
