MONEY DIAREET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. On the Stock Exchange to-day Consols main tained their late advance. Railway stocks were rather dull, but the decline is only fractional. There is a fair demand for money in the open market. Consols are now at 931 to 93/ for money; ditto, for Account, —; Three per Cent. Re duced, 94 4 ; New TI ree per Cents, 94 /4 ; ditto Annuities, April, 1885, 14 ; Exchequer Bills £ l ,OOO, March, par ; June, 7 prem. ; ditto £lOO, £2OO, and £5OO, March, prem. ; June, prem.; Bank of England Stock, 4 per Cent., 238 7. India Stock, 10i per Cent., April, 1874, ; ditto 5 per Cent., July, 1880, 1141 ; ditto 4 Per Cent., Oct., 1888, ; ditto Enfaced Paper, 4 per Cent., In the Foreign Market there has been a rise of 1 in Turkish Five per Cents., to 42 5-16, 42 7-16. The Railway Stock is rather weak, but no par ticular change is recorded in quotations. United States Five-Twenty Bonds have im proved /, to 84} 841, and the Ten-Forties remain steady, at 75/ 76. There were no gold operations at the Bank on Saturday. The Bombay mail steamer Delhi has taken out celY £5,000. Telegra ms f rom P ar i s s t a t e that the negotiations for the new Turkish loan have not yet been con cluded. Notwithstanding the opposition raised by a Powerful party in California to the introduction of Chinese labourers, there now seems to be little room for doubt that a large and continuous influx will set in, not only to that and the adjoining States, but also to the cotton-growing sections of the Union, and that in this respect the world is likely to see during the next 10 or 22 years some of the most important changes ever witnessed from the distribution of races. It is understood that the Pacific Mail Company of New York intend to put on weekly steamers to China. It is announced that, in pursuance of the City of London Gas Act of 1868, the Gas Light and Coke Company, and the City of London Gas Light and Coke Company have submitted to the Board of Trade a scheme for the amalgamation of the two undertakings. A petition for the winding up of the Consoli dated Land Company of France (Limited) is to be heard before Vice-Chancellor Malins on the next petition day. It is notified that the share list of the Tram Railway Company of Great Britain (Limited) is to be closed on the 18th inst., and the allotment to be made on the 20th.

The mistake of the policeman who imagined he had found the notorious Kelly in the person of a patient at King's College Hospital, was the means of finding his brethren some nasty work on Sunday in the way of look ing after one of the largest demonstrations ever held in the metropolis. It now appears to be finally settled that the man who died in the hospital was not Kelly, despite much assertion to the contrary. It happened that the Catholic priest who attended the dying man, Edward Martin, has also seen Kelly, and he says that the two men were somewhat like One another in face fihd figure, both being tall and hand some. From the police descriptions of Kelly in the hand bills offering a reward for his apprehension, it is further made evident that, however close the resemblance may have been, there was yet enough dissimilarity in one or two particulars to show a distinction between the two. Notably there was a considerable difference in their age, Kelly being some ten years the senior of Martin. These facts seem to conclusively dispose of the theory maintained after Martin's death by many that the victim of the cab accident was the notorious Fenian leader. But though MaAin was not Kelly, it has been proved that he was connected with the Fenian movement ; and accordingly he has been made the hero of the hour by the "brethren" At the conclusion of the inquest held last week the body was removed to the promises of an undertaker in Clare Market, and at a subsequent meeting of his friends and associates it was resolved that, as a mark of respect to his memory and an acknow ledgment of his services to the Fenian movement, he should receive a public funeral. A committee was appointed to carry out the arrangements, which committee having placed themselves in communication with the leaders of the different organisations of Irishmen in the metropolis, received the pledge of their hearty co-operation. It was publicly announced that the funeral would tako place at twelve o'clock on Sunday morning, and that a procession, with band and banners, would be formed in Lincoln's .inn-fields t, and accompany the funeral cortege to the cemetery at Low Leyton, near Strat ford. On Saturday afternoon, however, a statement appeared in some of the evening papers that the Com missioner of Police had issued an • order that the proces- ' Rion would not be allowed to take place, and if formed, that it was to be broken up. The Funeral Committee met on Saturday night, and although they could not ascertain that there was any truth in this report, it was resolved, in order to avoid any pretext for • police interference, to dispense with the band and banners. But the conduct of the police on Sunday soon disproved the rumour of inter ference. It became evident from the first that they were rather anxious to facilitate than to hamper the quiet progress of the demonstration. Fine and remarkably warm weather induced an immense crowd to assemble in Lincoln's Inn Fields at a very early hour. It is estimated that fully 100,000 persons were present in the neighbourhood. The greatest order, however, prevailed, and no more than the ordinary number of policemen were to be seen. Shortly after • twelve o'clock the organised bodies who were to take part in the procession were mar shalled in order in Lincoln's-inn -fields. - The members of the United Society of Labourers mustered over 1,000 strong, under the direction of the president and secretary. The members of St. Patrick's Brotherhood mustered nearly 0,000 men, while various other organisations numbered in the aggregate about 2,000, the whole being under the superintendence of two marshals. Tho marshals and officers of the various lodges wore green silk scarves, with a black crape band and green rosette en the left arm, while nearly every roan and woman in the procession—for.there were a considerable number of females —wore a green rosette or riband with a piece of black crape attached. At least 90 per cent. of those forming in the procession were Irish, composed of the better class of mechanics, artisans, and labourers, and all were becomingly, and very many respectably, attired. While waiting they made no attempt to disguise their Fenian opinions and sympathies, and their desire for the immediate and unconditional liberation of the Fenian prisoners. While the crowd was assembling in the " Fields," the funeral cortege was being marshalled in Stanhope-street, Immediately after noon a well-appointed hearse, drawn by four horses, and two mourning coaches, with two horses each, accompanied by the requisite number of attendants, drew up in front of Mr. Watson's, the undertaker's shop.. The mourners—consisting of several well-known Fenian leaders, the deceased having no relations in London —having taken their places in the coaches, the coffin, containing the body of the deceased, was brought out, and instead of being placed inside the hearse, was carried in front •of it on the shoulders of half-a-dozen men. The coffin was of oak, covered with cloth, and studded over with whits nails and plate. The cortege then proceeded viith great difficulty, in the following order :—Twelve mourners (with black scarves and wands), the coffin, the hearse, twelve mourners, the two mourning coaches, twelve mourners, and one hundred delegates from the lodges of the brotherhood and tha other societies taking part in the proceedings. On arriving in Lincoln's-inn-fields the cortege halted, and the coffin was placed inside the hearco, with the cry of " Hats off," which was responded to by nearly all present. • The procession then joined on the funeral cortege, The proces sion, as it passed through the City, comprised fully. 6,000 persona, walking six deep. At Whitechapel Church it was joined by a contingent of at least 1;000 strong, and by other large bodies at Mile-end, Bow, and Stratford, from which place the read to the Cemetery was lined with great crowds of people. So great was the crowd at the gates of the burial-ground, that it was with the utmost difficulty the mourners and others more immediately con cerned obsequies n asf p c e c t o m p e l could e nsd o e r b e t n a d i n e r admit ed th e t a f n u c n e , e ra w l h i s l e e r v t i h c e e de an nothing but dumb show to all but a very few. After the • ceremonies were over the multitude of people dispersed irregularly, each taking his own way. But good order pre vailed to the last, and nothing unseemly marred the pro ceedings of the day. • • Sheffield is agitating for a stipendiary magistrate. - - THE MINISTERIAL LAND BILL.—TIIO Irish Times of Friday states that the anticipated measure of the Government dealing with the land question in Ireland will simply be to legalise for the whole of Ireland the system of tenant right in operation in Ulster. WOMEN MUNICIPAL VOTERS About 300 women voters are now on the register of municipal voters at Lincoln. At Stamford the number of women municipal voters for the ensuing year will be 150. At East Retford, out of 514 municipal voters for 1569-70, 60 will be women. At Norwich the municipal register for 1569-70 will com prise upwards of 10,000 names, and about 1,300 of the voters will be women. Nothing has been heard of the ship Matoaka, 140 days out from Now Zealand to London. She is a vessel of 1,093 tons, and was built at New Brunswick in 1853. She had on board, besides a very valuable general cargo, upwards of £50,000 in gold, the existence of which on board was only known to the of f icers of tho ship, and none of the passengers, of who m ther e were fifty, were acquainted with the fact. Ships that have arr i ve d out since her departure saw nothing of her, and several ships have arrived in England which -sailed from New Zealand a considerable time after she did, and up to the present time hot the remotest tidings have been received of her either by the owners or agents. -• Mrs. Dr. Major Mary Wa lk er has recently been walking the streets of Cincinnati in what i s d escr ib e d os " semi-male attire." This did so excite, stimu late, and arouse the ambition. of -a youn g woman name d inconsisten t policeman, wh o h a d permitted Mrs. Ida Price that she made an. app ear:me° i n com plete trousers, unmitig ated , v est, and nn absolute coat.

S UDDEN DEATII OF A HOUSEEREAKEE.—An in quest was held on Saturday, at Rochester, by M r . J . Lewis, u the tdha;he p city, on th e b o d y of a man, name previous after noon, - while in the very act of p lundering a house int o wh ich ho had nk n unknown, coroner n N e v r h o forc died broken. The deceased. and tw o o th er men, who wore stated by the police to belong to a gang who go about the country breaking into h ouses i n th e day time, entered the Crickctei:s , Arms, Cureton-road, Strood, about four o'clock on Friday afternoon, and called for some refreshments, which were supplied to th em i n th e parlour. While the attention of the b arma id was di rected to the customers in the bar, :the deceased went upstairs, and, having opened one of the bedrooms by means of false keyp, proceeded to force open the drawers and boxes with housebreal,ing implements, abstracting £2 is. in bronze money, £2 2s. 6d. in silver, el in gold, two 'silver wa t e i, o3, 3 g old watch chain, and other property belonging to the landlord. During the time *the deceased was in the very act of plundering the house he dropped down dead; a h eav y fall on the floor causing those below to hasten upstairs, when the deceased was found lying dead, with some of the stolen property clutched in his hand, and the money in his pockets. His two companions managed to escape in the confusion; but ono of them, who we the name of James Hall, was subsequently appre hendeti, when be denied all acquaintanceship with thethe deceased. The jury returned a verdict that the deceased "died by the visitation of God." THE WOOL-GREEN TVAGEDY. Wood-green, like Panties, in Prance, has become a resort fur sightseers. On Sunday it presented a very lively aspect. Thousands of people poured into the place from about nine in the morning until dusk, and made fur the scene of the murders. The publichouses were all " open to travellers," and a vast number of people availed themselves of their legal privilege of drinking within Church hours. Before one o'clock drunken men, and women too, were seen struggling through the crowd on their way to or from the Bounds's-green-road. About mid-day the wholeneighbour hood was as busy as a fair. The cottage, where the murdered man Boyd lived, is advertised to be sold by auction. It is described as "with gardens in front and in the rear, and good detached stabling, very pleasantly situate in Bound's-green-road, facing the Alexandra-park Palace, let to Mr. Boyd at a rental cf £33 per annum." The iron house where the Bensons lived is now to be taken away, cr the practice of letting it for a dwelling, which has been pursued for the last fourteen years, discontinued. Some further information has been supplied through statements made by the prisoner since his committal. It will be remembered that during the alterca tion on,,the road from the railway station, when Henson was foicing the woman home, she was heard to say, "Fred, you know what you have said to me ; I am afraid for my life." Most people have imagined that these words referred to a threat he had then made, but such 'is not the case. The prisoner states that he had warned—frequently warned—Death against the intimacy which had commenced between her and Boyd, and that she knew what would happen after being found in his company. "Under such circumstances," said the individual who was conversing with the prisoner, "I am surprised she went home with you at all." He simply replied, " She couldn't help it-,she was weak, and I was strong." He has called the deceased woman a " good girl" to him. It appears that Henson went to Hendon on the day of the murder, but did no work there. Ho received information of the movements of Death which induced him to return home. Up to the present time the police have been unsuccessful in ther efforts to ascertain the whereabouts of the relatives of the murdered woman, and the prisoner positively declines to give any information on the point. A quantity of the woman's writing, beautifully executed, has been found; several school and other books have also been examined, but wherever name or address has appeared it has been torn off. , This is particularly observable in the books the murdered woman used when employed as a governess. Three letters wore found on the prisoner when searched after his apprehension. They are all from the murdered woman's pen, and are couched in most affectionate language. One of them was addressed to the prisoner at Hendon the week before the murder. Refe rence is made therein to the circumstance that the writer had been earning a few shillings by washing and needle work ; that she hoped to be able to purchase a pair of boots on the Saturday, adding, "And if you are a good fellow, I may have a shilling for you."

Percy Robinson, also known by a number of aliases, was brought up before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with feloniously inter marrying with Laura Bird, in the parish of St. John's, Hampstead, on the ith of February, 1862 ; also further charged with marrying Mary Elizabeth Beydell Boy - es, in the parish of St. Giles's, on the 16th of June, 1862, his wife, Eliza Robinson, being then and still alive. On the third wife being called for, it was Stated that she had gone to the Continent, to avoid giving evidence. Her mother, however, was present, and distinctly and emphatically' denied that the prisoner was her son-in-law. The fol lowing examination took place, conducted by the Bench : Mr. D'Eyncourt When did you see your son-in-law and your daughter last ?—Witness Ten days ago. Mr. D'Eyncourt : Now be careful. Let me particularly caution you as to what you say ; for if it should turn out not to be true what you say you render yourself liable to be prosecuted for perjury. Now I ask you, and consider before you answer, have you seen your son-in-law since the prisoner has been in custody ?—Witness : Yes. Mr. D'Eyncourt : Where is he now ?—Witness : On the Continent. Mr. D'Eyncourt : How do you know that he is on tne Continent 7—Witness : Because I have received a letter from my daughter. Mr. D'Eyncourt again cautioned her, and asked her if she had :leen the person who she said was her daughter's husband since the prisoner was in custody ?—Witness : I have. Mr. D'Eyncourt: Where : In town. Mr. D'Eynccurt :. Since this man has Leen in custody? Witness : Yes. fraying refused to • say where her daughter was, or to produce the letter stated to have been received from her, the witness was again pressed Ly the magistrate as to the identity cf. the prisoner, but though she admitted that she had visited him, she positively denied that he was her daughter's husband. Mr. D'Eyncourt : Where did ycur daughter live with her husband P—Witness : Several places. Mr. D'Eyncourt : Name one.—Witness : At No. 22, Artesian-road, Bayswater. That was about nine months ago. Mr. D'Eyncourt : 'Where after that ?—Witness : 0, we have travelled about. I have been on the Continent with my daughter and her husband. Mr. D'Eyneourt : Was that husband the prisoner ? Witness : No. Mr. D'Eyncourt: By what name did you know the pri soner when you used to visit him ?—Witness always knew him by the name of Mr. Pepper. Mr. D'Eyncourt : How did you become acquainted with the prisoner ?—Witness: We became acquainted through Mr. Percy Robinson. Mr. D'Eyncourt : Then there is another Percy Robinson Desides the prisoner ?—Witness : I don't know the prisoner as Percy Robinson. Mr. D'Eyncourt : I am afraid that what you have been saying is all untrue. The solicitor who appeared to prosecute also examined the witness as follows : Mr. Froggat: Has not your son-in-law been in custody? —Witness : I shall not answer such a question. Mr. Froggat :0, yes, you will. Was he nct in custody at Aylesbury in the name of Wade ?—Witness : That has no bearing upon this case. Mr. Froggat :0, we shall see about that. I ask you again, was he not in custody there ? Witness : Since you press me, he was. Mr. Froggat : What was he charged with ?—Witness : decline to answer. Mr. Froggat : Was it not for obtaining money under false pretences?—Witness : I decline to answer. Mr. Froggatt : I see by the report . of the case in the country paper that you gave evidence. Is the prisoner your son-in-law?—Witness : I said I was mother-in-law to a man named Wade. I there swore that Wade was my A gentleman from Marlow said prisoner was the same person who gave him a bad cheque. Mr. Boyes : I said that the prisoner was not my son-in law, but something like him. It wks my son Lin-law who was prosecuted. The prisoner is nob-liko the man. Mr. Froggat asked that witness be committed for con tempt of court. Mr. D'Eyncourt said he would consider, and eventually gave Mrs. Boyes a quarter of an hour to reflect whether she would adhere to her evidence.

A COLLIERY ON FIRE NEAR .WlGAN.—ShOrily after four o'clock cn Saturday morning it was discovered that - a fire had broken out in - the yard mine of the Walthew House Colliery, the property of Messrs. W. if Brancker and . Company, and situated in the township of Orrell, a - short distanco from Wigan.

Bat Cheshire Conservatives can have little inclination for exultation at the result. The election, in fact, offers alto gether a metiiipholy spectacle of county degeneracy. The county palatine has been hitherto in the habit of managing its electioneering -affairs on principles above or beyond those which goiern ordinary constituencies. It might, for all that was knov;n, be a condition of the tenure of certain estates that the members for Cheshire should be of this or that Cheshire stock. But, those days are past for Cheshire, and a contest between Mr. Cunliffe Brooks and Sir Edward Watkin is about as much the con cern of any other district-in the United ICingdem as of Cheshire itself. The real claim of both candidates was that they are capitalists—the one a Conservative capi talist, and the other a Liberal capitalist, but there is pro bably truth in Sir Edward Watkin's taunt that members of the real Cheshire governing families did not feel enough Conservative ardour to fight the battle at their own cost. They voted for Mr. Brooks ; but they seem rather to have accepted, as it were, a tender from him to take the charge of representing them off their hands than to have chosen him. But if it is not very easy to see why Mr. Brooks is either a Conservative or now member for East Cheshire, it is unintelligible how Sir Edward Watkin ever persuaded himself or was persuaded of his fitness to represent that from among all constituencies. Some sort of affinity between a constituency and the candidate is reasonably to bo expected; but we fail to discern any whatever between the constituency of East Cheshire and a gentleman whose title to fame is that he was knighted by Mr. Disraeli as a railway chairman and defeated at the last general election for Stockport. It was especially unfortunate that so eccentric a choice should have been made of a candidate for the Liberal party at this juncture. The Conservative interest in East Cheshire seemed waning under the discouraging experiences of the last two years. By a happier selection the Liberal minority Might have been nursed into a. majority. As it is, the issue was reduced to a personal one between East Cheshire agriculture and East • Cheshire manufactures—between Mr. Cunliffe Brooks and Sir Edward Watkin. We cannot pretend to be astonislied•that East Cheshire has failed to perceive the superior merits, at any rate, of Sir Edward Watkin. The Standard says that if Mr. Gladstone's secret ait were to sap the foundations of the Established Church lei England as ho has destroyed the Established Church in Ireland, he could not go about it more adroitly than to make political fidelity to himself the surest title to epiz copal preferment. Yet if we take each of his recent appointments to the bench we shall be puzzled to discover any other prominent merit in the men who have been made bishops except that they are politically of Mr. Gladstone's party, and helped him on the Irish Church question—in other words that they helped to weaken and dismember the Church of which they are now appointed overseers. Dr. Temple is, undoubtedly, a man of great accomplishments, and as a schoolmaster, of acknowledged eminence; but as successor to Dr. Phillpotts, his appointment could have been intended as nothing less than an insult to the memory of, his famous predecessor. Such an appointment is hardly reconcileable with Mr. Gladstone's own reputation for religious orthodoxy. Wrong though he might have been en tho Irish Church, and generally of a loose, and, so to speak, flabby religious texture, it has heen always supposed that . Mr. Gladstone was orthodox in regard to the first principles of Church belief. But how can this theory be maintained when he makes a bishop of Dr. Temple—a gentleman who, in the eyes of nine out of ten Churchmen at least, is regarded as a secret enemy not only of the Church, but of Christianity—who was one cf the famous Septent antra Christum—who took a principal share in a publication Which was solemnly denounced by Convocation as something worse than hcretical— who, in addition to these demerits, is never known to have done a single day's parish duty in his life, but who is noted for the extreme breadth of his political principles, and who took an active and scarcely becoming part in the last general election, in favour of the Gladstonian candidates ? Such an appoint ment as this last is either made on religious or on political grounds. Which alternative do Mr. Gladstone's friends prefer ? Whichever view we take,.it is impossible for us to protest too strongly against Dr. Temple's preferment, as calculated not only to bring scandal on the profession cf politics, but to inflict serious damage and to be the cause of endless disorder to the Church of England. The Daily News remarks with satisfaction that in quarters where Dr. Temple's elevation is most strongly objected to cn theological grounds, justice is done to his fine personal qualities. But, - in truth, the worthiest cf his opponents did not conceal their admiration of his character at the heiLlt of the panic of 1860-Gl. We may confidently predict that the attempt to revive that panic will fail. The mateiials for it do not e.ist. Every one who should now I.c disrozed to object to Dr-Temple as .theckgica:ly unsound, must Lo prepared to state sr,ec:fically en what Passage or passages of his writings the allegation was grounded, and this is notoriuusly impossible. Even in the midst of the creitcmnt cf which we have spoken, the meat learned of Dr. Temple's opponents were constrained to admit that in his essay cn the Education of the World—whether his arguments were or were not sustainable—he infringed no doctrine of the Church, and the only means of damaging his fame was found to be the violent connection of his . name with writings for which he had antecedently di claimed any responsibility. We trust, therefore, that we shall hear no more of attempts to disturb the peace of a diocese and create a scandal for the Church. The new Bishop of Exeter will have enough to do to bring that unwieldy diocese into order, and to overtake the arrears which have accumulated under his predecessor. He is a man to welcome cordially the co-operation of all the clergy and laity, of whatever shade of opinion, who desire to labour for the best interests of the people, and a heavy responsibility will rest on those who may disturb the good work by strife and contention. The Post observes that if the clergy can once succeed in getting the working classes to accept the Archbishop's invitation, they will have established a link of 'commuion which must be productive of good; and they will be likely to do this not only by inviting the confidence of the work ing classes in the way we have indicated, but by entering into the social questions of the day with the earnestness of men who feel sincerely and deeply that there is work to be done for the benefit of their fellow creatures, and that they, as the appointed pastors of the people, are bound to afford all the help in their power. The Archbishop of York doubts whether they have fulfilled their obligations in this respect. "I have heard lately a question put to me like this—' Why is it that the clergy of the Church of England stand aloof from a movement in favour of temperance and other like movements ? '—and I am unable altogether to deny the justice of this charge." So it is, and as long as the clergy refrain from entering into the movement upon which the people set their hearts, they must expect that the community of feeling between them will suffer. When, however, the Ardhbishop reminds his hearers that the " drink " annually consumed in this country costs eighty millions sterling,- we do not obtain a distinct idea as to the extent to .;which these figures denote a tendency to inebriety. If the stimulants represented by that sum of,money were fairly distributed they might not be a cause Of alarm. But unfortunately there are those who consume much more than their share Without any question drunkenness is the great sin of the age, and the parent of other sins and miseries. In thip one field of reformation there is, then, work for the clergy of all denominations ; but to sot about it with any hope of success they must first convince the people that their anxiety grows out of a sympathy rooted in the humanity and the hopes which clergy and laity share in common. The Telegraph considers that the slightest tingo of red tape marks the details of the scheme recommended by the Duke of Cambridge. The soldiers employed in industrial occupations must have had two years' service, and bo of good character. Now, a recruit in the line is generally understood to have thoroughly learnt his drill in s i x months. Why is poor private Jones to bo condemned to wait eighteen months before he is allowed to work at the trade in which, perhaps, ho may have been pro ficient when he took the Queen's shilling, but in the practice of which ho might grow rusty after two years' soldiering, and nothing but soldieringl Tho vast majority, however, of young men who enlist arc of no mechanical trade at all. They are either the rawest of clodhoppers, or they are drawn from those ambiguous classes so graphically described by Sir John Falstaff, in his notes on the regiment with which he declined to march through Coventry. Might not such novices Le taught a trade as well as their drill ; and might they not be fit tc exercise that trade long before twenty-four months sheltie be out ? Again while the soldier may be permitted to worts at his trade as a reward, and prohibited from doing so as a punishment, might it not be possible, to draw the line respecting "character" somewhat too tightly? Pri vate Jones, for instance, might have acquires' certain deplorable habits of idleness while roaming about the streets of Chatham, Rochester, and Strood in the intervals of drill; and Private Brown, in consequence of the multiplicity of low public-houses in garrison towns might be in the habit of taking a great deal more beer thar was good for him; but a liberal construction of the " character " clause, and the concession of indus . tri4l employment to Brown and Jones. might save the one froi: becoming a hopeless "loafer " and the other from bccomir S c Uhrilir liilE.LLau.LlNUzi—lnis Day NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING.

The principal races this week are the Cesarewitch and Middle Park Plate. The following will, in all probability, comprise the field for the Cesarewitch : —Cecil, Kidderminster, Taraban, Fair Wind, Gon-. dolier, Nancy, Birthday, John Davis, Phantom, Larmuelmoor, Prouesse, Lopez, AVildbad, Gardener, Alis Peddle colt, Sylva, 'Vacuum, Cherie, and Toby. John Davis is now first favourite, and if he rallies the least of the form he has s!iown o❑ seve ral occasions, he inust, with his light weight, be dangerous. Vacuum has been highly tried, and if better than Starter at the weight 3 he must run for ward. Gondolier will represent the French divi sion. He has been knocked about in the market, but I expect he will run well. Miss Pedlie cola will be the Baron's selected, but, after bursting a blood vessel last week, I am afraid his chance is hopeless. Cherie and the Birthday filly are the rest of the Newmarket horses, but I do noa think either of them are good enough to win. Cecil and Fairwind are both in one interest, and I prefer the latter. Tarabau is bound to run well, and will be ridden out for a place. For Sylva I have the highest opinion. She has three times beaten See Saw, which makes her chance look rosy. Phantom is another horse that I have heard good accounts of, but as only one horse can win, I shall plump for SI LVA, and expect her immediate followers to be CECIL and JOHN DAVIS. The Middle Park Plate will be won by SUNSHINE. A FRESII MAN. 711 E AU7 VAIN HAN DICAPS. THE CESAREWITCII Ago st lb The Palmer ... 5 (p 3) Phantom ...
