placed 501. at the disposal of Glengarry, to which the Chief added 251. and many others subscribed, making altogether a purse of about 1501. as prizes for the exercises of the True Highlanders, who at the next Northern Meeting are to challenge, not only the low country, but all countries, in feats of strength and agility.

THE attendance at Carlisle races, particularly on the second and last days, was highly respectable. A variety of equipages were on the course. Among the company were, the Earl and Countess of Lonsdale, the Marquis of Queensberry, Lord Viscount Lowther, M.P. Lord Frederick and Lady Bentinct, the Hon. Col. Low-, ther, Sir P. Musgrave, Bart. M.P. Sir James Graham, Bart. of Netherby, Sir Wm. Maxwell, Bart. Sir J. H. Maxwell, Bart. Wm. James, Esq. M.P. and his lady, and the principal gentry of Carlisle and the immediate neighbourhood.-The Stewards elect for the ensuing year, are F. Vane, Esq. and H. Aglionby, Esq. -The Earl of Lonsdale has given for next year, a silver cup, value 30gs. to be added to a sweepstakes of 3gs. each, seven subscribers or no race, for horses not thorough bred, foaled in Cumberland and Westmoreland; to be run on the last day; heats, one mile and a half; weights, 11st. -The ordinaries were well attended, the assemblies numerous, fashionable, and brilliant, and the theatre, on Wednesday and Thursday nights, literally overflowed. The wrestling on Wednesday drew together from all quarters, an unusual number of fine athletic fellows, who displayed their skill and Herculean powers in the ring, to the great delight of a numerous body of spectators. These sports drew a great deal of company into the town, and we have no doubt but they will be kept up, and liberally patronized another year.

LINCOLN races were very thinly attended the Stewards for next year are, Henry E. Dymoke, Esq. and Henry Handley, Esq. M.P.

OSWESTRY races afforded great interest to the amateurs of the turf.

The number of equipages, and the
attendance both of equestrians and
multitudes on foot, were great; par-
ticularly on the last day. This town
being in the vicinity of some of the
best and most successful studs in
the country (those of Wynnstay, Por-
kington, and Halston), will doubt-
less continue to be a point of attrac-
tion. In truth, its fame is of ancient
date; for so long ago as the four-
teenth century, in the inquisition
taken at Oswestry, on the attainder
of Richard Earl of Arundel, (the
original of which is lodged in the
Tower of London), there was in the
Castle of Oswestry,
"One young
race-horse called Young Sorell, price
131. 6s. 8d.; and one white stallion,
price 101. ;" besides about fifty other
horses of various kinds.

MONMOUTH RACES.-The fineness of the weather, so long wished throughout the kingdom, drew to this scene of pleasure a company not before exceeded at any time, either in rank or fortune, including all the landed characters in the county, with many others in the surrounding district; and the different plates afforded great interest to the sporting world. The inns were crowded to overflowing; and the balls of the Beaufort Arms had to boast of three hundred characters of rank and fashion.

INGLEWOOD HUNT AND PENRITH. -These races were uncommonly well attended on Wednesday; the weather was delightful ;'and upwards of 130 ladies and gentlemen graced the assembly at night.

EGHAM. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Clarence were present at this meeting on Tuesday and Thursday, and some few other fashionables; but the company was by no means so numerous as on former occasions.-Mr. Ramsbottom officiated as Steward for the Duke of York, which office had been accepted by his Royal Highness.

NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT, Oct. 19.-The Hunting Club ball was celebrated here on Friday evening, with great eclat, there being nearly four
