The Grand Junction Railway Companion to Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham/Races

From Wikisource

Races.

For the information of our sporting readers, we have added a List of Races (and, as near as we could obtain them, of the time of their coming off), to the vicinity of which access may be obtained by the Railroad. Some few of them are at a considerable distance from the Stations; but all, we believe, may be attained in a day.

List of Races, and the time at which they are held, to which easy access may be obtained, by means of the Grand Junction and Liverpool and Manchester Railways.
