Two plates of 20 l. value each will be run for yearly at the New Heat at Epsom Downs on Friday the 29th of June next; entrants are to pay 3 guineas seven days before for each heat-stake, or by paying 5 guineas may put in at any time. Two days after the race, a Holland smock will be run for.

Editorial note: Normalized conservatively from a damaged sporting notice with clear prize and entry-fee language. Mapped conservatively to Epsom Downs race ground. Retained because it links racing, prizes, and payment conditions in the Gazette.
