Numbers of the visitors had remained for tho second doy's meeting, and m conse quence tho streets presonted a lively appear ance till about noon, when a genoral exodus took placo to tho course. The attendance on the ground was good, but not nearly co large as ou the first day of the meeting, tho visitors from a distanco not being so numerous. In ahout the same ratio as the attendance had fallen off, this business of thoso who were pre sent to transact business aho fell off, such as the publicans and caterers for public amuse ment. Tho publicans, howover, were very ■freely patronised, but there was nothing ap proaching to disorderlinesa through drink during the day. The labors, therefore, of the police-— Sergeant Scotfc and Constables Wildermoth and Kennedy — were of the lightest possible description. Tho racing m many instances- on Saturday wos very excit ing, and taken throughout, both as regards sport; and attendance, the meeting of 1874 was the mosfc successful that has yet" been held m Geraldine.

Theodore, Alice Grey, and Waverley were scratched. Exile was a hot favorite for this event, but the pot very nearly boiled over, as the following will show. Exile was first on his legs after the flag dropped, Lady Ellen, Hector Norman, and St lvo going along iv the order named. The position of the horses did not alter materially till half way round the course, when Lady Ellen went up to Exile, but the horse soon shook her off. Passing the stand Hector Norman was lying about half-a-choin m rear of Lady Ellen, but shortly aftorwards ho overhauled her, and went m gamo pursuit of Exile, St lvo baying dropped back hoplesaly.
