Rowton was bred by Mr. Allen, and foaled in 1826. He was got by 

 Oiseau, dam Katherina by Woful. He has won some fine races in 

 England, and is as beautiful a horse as ever looked through a bridle. 



Horses starting for any of the second races, for purses given by the 

 Club, are now required to carry weight for age.

Bay Maria took the track from the start in the two last heats, and

 won the first heat cleverly, and Rienzi, although " the last of Romans," 

 promises in another year, if properly managed, to prove the first of 

 horses.
