GRONOW, formerly of the Grenadier Guards, and Author of " Recol lections and Anecdotes," " Celebrities of London and Paris," &c. Captain Gronow, who lately died in Paris, has left a widow and four young children, by his second marriage utterly destitute, without means to defray his funeral expenses, or even to purchase bread. Captain Gronow was disinherited by his father, in favour of his brother, a clergyman, and the small income which he derived from the interest of a sum charged on the family estate ceased with his life ; while the sums he received from time to time for his " Recollections" were expended to providing for the increasing expenses of his young family. Under these distressing circumstances the friends of Madame Gronow in Paris came to her aid, and they now appeal to the liberality of her late husband's friends in London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscences, for contributions to enable her to maintain and educate her children.

On coming on to the straight running they were all running well together with the exception of Solitare, who had fallen to the rear. Grimshaw then let out La Fortune, who took a good lead, and ran home three lengths in advance of Fumee, who beat Gontran by the same distanee for second place. Ver tugadin finished half a length from Gontran. Notwithstanding the showery appearance of the weather yesterday there was a good attendance at theWestLondon Cricket-ground to witness Messrs. Rogers andJones's great Open Half-mile Handicap for £l5, divided into three prizes, the winner receiving £lO, the second £3, and third £2. There was a large entry, which was divided into three heats and commenced in the following order : First Heat—Parkins, of Covent-garden, with 60 yards start, ran a dead heat with Woodhouse, of Enfield, 80, but the referee decided that both should run in the final. Time, 2 min 11 sec. Second Heat—This was won easily by Prauke,of Chelsea, 100 ; Tewson, of the Strand, 75, second. Time, 2 min 14 sec. Third Heat—Lee, of Leicester-square, 86, won asplendid race by six yards; M‘Gill, of Marylebone, 75, second. Tim e , 2 min sec. Final Heat--Parkins, 60, Woodhouse, 80, Franks, 100, and Lee, 85, now (-Arne to their allotted marks to run off for the prizes. Franks won by 15 yards; Lee second; Parkins pulled up in the middle of the back stretch of the second lap. Time, 1 min 561 sec. Mr. Jones was the re feree, and Mr. Rogers starter. Sullivan and Parker (both of Deptford—These men had to run 200 yards for £lO, Parker having 2 yards start. Sullivan won by 8 or 9 yards. At the Lillie Arms, Bromptoa—Being the opening of this ground, there was a large number of the denizens o Brompton, Fulham, and neighbourhood. The principal event which calls for decision was , the race between Manks, the Warwickshire Antelope, and Blower Brown, of'Fulham—The latter allowing Manks a start cf 450 yards in a 10 mile race for X2O, which had previously been staked in the hands of Mr. J. Garratt. Ranks gave over during the fourth mile, apparently from sheer exhaus tion, leaving Brown to win as he liked. Mr. Garratt also acted as referee, whilst J. Smith, the Regent-street pet, started them. One Mile Handicap—There were six who started for this race. G. Topley, the scratch man, won as he liked ; Golder, 50, second ; none - of the others finishing.—Time, 5 min 16 sec. H YAM and CO.'s ATTIRE for GENTLEMEN, 66 and 67, Oxford•street, W.

PROVIDENCE ROW NIGHT REFUGE, FOR HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN, 14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.C. Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. Tho poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager, &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving? The smallest donation will be most welcome, and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will be offered in your behalf. SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be gratefully received by the Rev. D. GILBERT, D.D., No. 22, Finsbury-circus. E.C. DONORS AND SUBSCRIBERS TO THE REFUGE.

The early part of the morning was fine, and hopes were entertained that the weather would continue so throughout the day, but those who thus hoped were doomed to disap pointment, for rain began to fall heavily before noon, and continued, more or less, during the afternoon. The New market Handicap attracted a much larger attendance than yesterday, and speculation was very brisk on the various races, although betting on future events was a dead lock. The Beacon Stakes was the first race on the card, but it was deprived of much of its interest by the absence of Hermit, who has already been backed for next year's Derby, as little as 20 to 1 being taken at the late North ampton Meeting ; but Achievement, by Stockwell, out of Paradigm (own sister to Lord Lyon), a beautiful filly, with many of the characteristics of her distinguished brother the Derby favourite, was sufficient to make the race an important one, and she fully justified the opinion enter tained of her racing ability by winning easily, with odds of 7 to 4 freely laid on her. The Handicap was the last event on the card, and eight of the 15 animals " coloured" were sent to the post. Eakring, from her running at the late Doncaster Meeting, was installed favourite, 2 to 1 being accepted freely before the flag fell, an (additional impulse to back her being given by Kenyon being in the saddle, the now fashionable" light-weight," who is followed by those who back successful jockeys as much as Jemmy Giimshaw and Fordham were. The race is sufficiently described below. Suffice it to say that the issue was never in doubt, as Eakring took up the running after going half a mile, and won in a canter from Lincoln Green and Pearl Diver. The latter was strongly fancied by the owner and a large num ber of the public, but he was in difficulties 200 yards from home. The following is a full return of the running : The Beacon Stakes of 50 sovs each, h ft, for two-yr-olds ; colts, Bst I.olb, and fillies, Bst 71b ; winners extra. Last half mile of 8.0. 9 subs. Col.

Vernlam hold a slight lead o the favourite, who lay on the lower ground, the other two keeping close company to the top of 'the hill, where they were disposed of, and Achievement in a few strides headed Vernlam, and ran home an easy winner by two lengths"; Photographe a bad third. The Newmarket Handicap of 25 sovs each, 15 ft, and 5 only if declared, with 150 added, for three-yr-olds and upwards ; winners extra. From starting post of R.M. to end of B.C.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Eakring, 3to 1 agst Pearl Diver, 6 to 1 agst Drum, 8 to 1 each agst Peeress and Neroli, 10 to 1 agst Lord Zetland, 100 to 7 agst Lincoln Green, and 25 to 1 agst Hollyfox. The restiveness of Drum and Neroli caused some little delay at the post, but the signal was given to a good start. Pearl Diver, lying in the centre of the lot, at once showed the way, with Lincoln Green on his left, and Eakring on the whip-hand nearly abreast. These were closely followed by Lord Zetland, well up with whom, though wide, were Peerless and Hollyfox ; Drum, on the extreme,right, being in a good position. The pace was slow to the bushes, where tho favourite improving it went to the front, and took a clear lead of Pearl Diver, Neroli, and Lincoln Green, who lay at her heels in a clus ter, while Hollyfox had dropped many lengths in the rear. They ran thus by the Cesarewitch Stand, and half way on the hill, where Pearl Diver and Neroli were in trouble, and Lincoln Green went pn in pursuit of Eakring, who, how ever, cantered on at her ease, and won by six lengths ; Pear Diver a bad third, Hollyfox fourth, and Lord Zet- land about two lengths in the rear next ; Drum and Neroli walked in, Peeress being absolutely last. The Eighth Newmarket Biennial Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 100 added ; for 3-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b ; fillies, Bst 61b; the second to receive 10 per cent. and the third 5 per cent. out of the stakes.

On Monday last the annual steeplechases of the Sand beck Hunt and the officers of the 15th Hussars (Sheffield Barracks) came off near East Retford, in the presence of the master of the hounds, Viscount Galway, 31. P., and the officers of that regiment, but the day was very unfavour able, rain falling heavily during the whole afternoon. An immense company were drawn together, and over the ex tent of the course—four miles in length-46 hurdles and water-courses had to be jumped. Capt. Humphrys won the Regimental Challenge Cup with his chestnut gelding Ma rengo ; the Sandbeck Farmers' Stakes fell to the lot of Mr. V. H. Hannam, with his brown gelding, Lord Cank low ; the 15th Hussars Hunters' Stakes to Capt. Enery (b g Badger) ; the stakes of the Nottinghamshire Hunt Steeplechase to Mr. J. W. Richardson (br g Morris Dancer); a cup of the value of 50 guineas (the gift of Capt. E n ery and Capt. Maxwell) to Cornet Wilson (oh in Con science); the Retford United Hunt Steeplechase to Mr. Bradley (oh g ; Pena-o ner); and the Subaltern's Cup, value 60 guineas, the gift of Cornet Wilson, to Lieut. Le Mesu rier (ch g Lincoln). The co urse, owing to the heavy fall of rain, was very stiff, and many o f t h e riders fell but no seriou ßegimental s inju ChallengerYoccurred. Capt. Ri cardo rode the winner of the Clip, v a l ue 100 guineas, and of the 15th Hussars Hunters' Stakes; Mr. Brockton rode the winner of the Sandbeek Farmers' Stakes ; Mr. Brooke, the winner of the Nottinghamshire Hunt Stakes; Mr. the winner of the 50 guinea cup ; Mr. G. Walker, the win ner of the Retford United Hunt Steeplechase ; and Lieut. Le Mesurier the winner of the Subalterns' Cup. The meet ing, as far as sport was concerned, was eminently success ful, and such steeplechasing Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire (which were each represented) never before produced.

On Monday afternoon last, notwithstanding the bad weather, the famed "Wick" had again its thousands of visitors, and bad it been fine there would have no doubt been one of the greatest musters for years. The sportswere of a varied kind, for independent of the annual meeting of the Cornwall and Devon Wrestling Society, there was pedestrianism and also a great gathering of the Ring cele brities, more conspicuous among the latter being O'Bald win, who is said and believed will be the future cham pion. Our account, however, must be as brief as possible consistent with the importance of the meeting. There were present many of the gentry from the "two counties," and the wrestlers, the first of the present day, mustered in greater force than they have for years. As is usual the sports commenced with pedestrianism in a QUARTER OP A MILE HANDICAP.—The competitors were divided into four heats, and they contended for money prizes, the preliminary trials being decided as follows : First Ileat.—W. Davis, with2s yards start, came in first by five yards ; Sam Barker, 32, not being able to get up was second ; and Small, who went from scratch, being out of the race. Second Heat—Peppett, 28, won a good race by a Yr d d s ! Canavan, 10, was secon d ; Still, 32, third. A yard a half between the two latter. Barker, with the longest start of 42 ards,w on fe v r ery .i.

Sam Heywood (D.), who won the chief prize last year, next came against Dummett, and they too, played "time ;' throe more standards were made, Heywood, Dyer, and James Cornish (C.), leaving one more to complete the number. As the double play, treble play, and final falls will be played this afternoon, commencing at two o'clock, it is not necessary to go further into details—but suffice it to say that scarcely has the science of the true " back PARIS SPRING MEETING. The season of flat racing was inaugurated at Paris on Monday most brilliantly, the weather being delightful, the running excellent, and the attendance immense. The sport has now become so popular that the stands, which were enlarged two years back, are found to be no longer suffi cient, and the railings have been removed 10 or 12 ft. for ward on the course, so as t 3 give increased accommodation in the parterre fronting the pavilions. The company in the central stands was, as usual, most select, and the Emperor was present, and walked about freely among the persons assembled. The Duke and Duchess de Mouchy were among the suite of his Majesty. The running proved disastrous to backers of favourites, as in every instance the winners turned up among the outsiders. The Purse brought out 10 starters, including an equal number of three and four yr olds, and fell to the lot of M. Delamarre's Castagnette, one of the former, agst whom 10 to 1 had been laid, the favou rite, La Valasse, finishing second, two lengths from the winner. The selling race was won by M. Jennings' Cora mandeur, who was afterwards bought in by his owner at a sacrifice of 2,000 f. An accident occurred in the 3-yr-old race to the favourite Victorieuso, 'who, while running well, struck her feet into the heels of one of the other horses, and rolled over her jockey, Flatwan, fortunately without hurting him seriously. The remainder of the field, with the exception of Victorieuse and Mercedes, who was beaten in the last quarter of a mile, included only a moderate lot, of which Equivoque proved the best by winning by a length. The two other events were immense deceptions, the Prix de Lutece being won in a canter by Etoile Filanle, a filly not mentioned in the betting. Tourmalet only gained a fourth place, and the hitherto unbeaten Billet-doux was not even placed. The Prix du Cadran, for 4-yr-olds, like wise resulted in the hollow defeat of the two cracks, Gon tran and Vertugadin, by La Fortune and Fumee. • The French Derby winner has thickened immensely since last year, and is now a magnificent horse, but requires to be trained down considerably. Vertugadin ran well to within a quarter of a mile of home, but refused to try, and shut up when called upon by his jockey. Subjoined are the details of the day's running : A Purse of 2,000 f.

At tho cascade, Le Valasse went to the front, and half-way along the road was joined by Anglo-Saxon and Castagnette, with Juliette lying close in the rear. At the last corner Cdstagnette came away, and maintained the lead to the end, winning easily by twe lengths. Le Valasse was second, three lengths from Juliette, who finished four lengths before Anglo-Saxon.

Macaron and Coresia ran in front to the windmill, when Puebla and Alexandra passed and kept the lead abreast to the plantation. Hero the others drew up, with Victorieuse third and Equivoque fourth, but before turning the corner to come down the hill the favourite Victorieuse fell. On entering the straight Equivoque strode forward, took the lead, and won easily by a length from Tarpeia ; Macaron i who had also passed Puebla and Alexandra in the run home, was third; Mina got badly off and ran last throughout. The Prix de Lutece of 10,000 f., entry 100 f. ; two-thirds to the second, and the remainder to the third ; three-year olds, Est 71b ; four, Bst 61b ; five and upwards, 9st 21b ; penalties and allowances. 2,200 metres. 17 subs.

Quaker soon dropped back, and the two others until reaching the plantation, where they were joined by Tancrede and Billet-doux. On nearing the last corner Tourmalet passed his horses, and Etoile Fi lante came on to the straight in advance ; M. Lunel's filly then strode away and ran alone up to the stand, and won very easily by three lengths. Major Fraolin's two passed Tourmalet at the distance, and came in second and third, a head from each other, with Tourmalet fourth, four lengths from Stilton.

Solitaire made the running round the short course with Vertugadin second ; on passing the stanes the second time Vertugadin BOW. The weather being so bad the attendance was limited at the Prince of Wales Grounds yesterday. The first event Was the— Handicap of 100 Yards—First Heat—Hadley's Novice 12 yards start, came in first by a yard ; Mitchell's Lad, 12 was second ; and Slater, 10, close up. Second Heat —Beaufort's Novice, 12, beat Brooks, 12, by a yard and a half. Third Heat—Baggott, 12, won a splendid race by half a yard only; Thomas, 8, being second. Final Heat—This was another fine struggle, and ended in a dead heat between Hadley's Novice and Baggott ; and excitement was rife, when, in running off, another dead heat ensued. Hadley's Novice refused to run again, being con tent to take the second prize. Walking Handicap of One Mile —There were ten starters, when eventually Davidson, with 150 yards start, won ; Brewster, 170, was second ; Young Spot, 350, was third It was a good race, and only won by three yards, the rest being well up. The time was 7 min 30 sec. Sullivan and Green.—This was a spin of 100 yards, Sullivan receiving three yards start. A good race ended in Sullivan winning by a couple of yards. An 80 yards rare backwards was won by Cadman, and various other minor affairs took place. J. Goulding acted both as starter and referee. CLAY HALL, OLD FORD. This ancient place for all kinds of sport and amusement was pretty well attended yesterday. Very many years have passed since hundreds, especially juveniles, congregated at these grounds to witness the celebrated " mill where old women were ground young." The weather was rather unpropitious for pedestrianism, the rain occasionally de scending, and the wind from the north rather chilly. The first race on the card was a handicap for a silver watch, distance one mile, nine times round the ground ; Young Clark at scratch, Joe Sargeant 1150 yards, and E. W., 110. The race was an exciting one, inasmuch as Clark gradually gained on his opponents, and at last Sar geant came round the last turn within a dozen yards of the goal, when Clark, who was close on his quarter, came with a rush, and breasted the tape abreast of his game antago nist, the referee deciding it a dead heat. Clark was so exhausted that he fell at the finish on his face, and the other was placed hors de combat by his strenuous exertions ; consequently they did not appear again in the handicap. The next heat was between Anderson, 180 yards start, and Morton 10 yards. The latter made of course the run ning for about five rounds, when he gave up further com petition, and Anderson took it leisurely the remaining distance. IA the final Anderson had no competitor, and became entitled to the prize. HEALTH OF THE METROPOLIS• (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Report.)
