After the above account of sport, it is needless to say that everyone who attended the Races was delighted. The severe running on the first day prevented several of the horses starting on the second, but the four well-contested heats for the Town and Country Gentlemen’s Plate more than compensated for the deficiency in the number of horses. The ordinaries and Ball were well attended—a very liberal subscription was entered into for the Races of 1832. The Gold Cup Stakes is already filled, and the Norfolk and Suffolk Hunters’ Stake of 5 sovs. each, with 20 sovs. added, for horses not thoroughbred, which have been regularly hunted in either of the above counties, has already six subscribers. The ladies at the Ball on Tuesday evening commenced a subscription for a Ladies’ Plate of 50 sovs. for next year, which will be in addition to the two Fifty Pounds Plates usually given. Edmund Preston, Esq., is appointed one of the stewards for 1832.”
