And that the open market has taken what little business there is may be inferred !rem, the diminution in the private deposits. The bullion shows a falling,' off, notwithstanding the week's purchases, the explanation being that the coin circu lation has been greatly enlarged by harvest and other requirements incidental to the season.

Queen Victoria has had the enterprise and the good sense to see what every one of her subjects sees if he can, and has accomplished a few of the most familiar, most accessible, and, it may be added, most beautiful objects in Switzerland. The Times confesses itself well pleased that her Majesty's circle of travel should be widened, and that she should see more than is visible in a periodical oscillation between Osborne and Balmoral. Anything to interrupt an inveterate habit and break the spell of sorrowful and saddening recollections. Why else were these marvels of creation given us, these glimpses of a new heaven and a new earth IP There are few, if any, who do not require, at least once in their lives, to have the train of thought turned by some sweet violence into a more practical and salutary direction. Since new duties cannot be made, or new persons started into existence, new scenes are the appointed method, and no balm is more soothing or effective. Often and often are returning tourists found to aver they do not come home rested in body, or certainly better in physical health ; Lut that in the fund of new impressions and the passing away of old troubles they feel the certainty of returning health and strength and a new lease of vitality. Having thrown herself, with a laudable effort, into the great European stream of tourists, even for a few days, the Queen will feel herself once more in the living, moving world. There, in the presence of a more than human majesty, and in a Court higher than that of any earthly realm, she has seen a gathering of all nations as sembled to offer at least the secret service of their souls. It is an occasion and a spectacle to open the heart long locked in private contemplation, to revive the sympathies, and to reduce to its due proportion everything that is exaggerated and engrossing. The Queen now shares with her subjects many of the grandest recollec tions that nature can supply, and, that can at once elevate and bring into unison the souls of all that have them. In this way she is more at home with us, and a sharer of thoughts and pleasures almost domestic in their character. She has felt that touch of Alpine nature which makes us all kin. The beauties of Switzerland are household words in this country, and at every fireside where they are known and remembered the royal tourist will now be, in thought, a fellow-traveller and self-invited guest. The Post, whilst concurring in the exclusion of political offences from the category of extradition crimes, can see no reason why the existing list of some half-dozen offences should not be made to include all those crimes which, on account of their gravity, are classified by us as felonies It appears to us that the guiding principle should be this : that if an offence was of such magnitude as probably to make it worth the while of a State, in the interests of its own community, to seek the extradition of the offender, that offence should find a place in the proposed Act of Par liament. With respect to the mode of procedure in the pre liminary inquiry, it is evident that it can alone be such as is consonant with our established practice, and that we could find no justification for delivering up, for the purpose of being tried in a foreign country, any indi vidual against whom sufficient evidence was not adduced which would lead us, in the event of our possessing juris diction, to commit him for trial in this country. The French, for example, examine the accused, and, being governed in their judicial procedure by no laws of evi dence, are satisfied with testimony which we would reject ; but although, owing to this course, we may some times succeed in obtaining the extradition of criminals by them, whilst under similar circumstances they would fail in a like demand upon us, this discrepancy cannot be remedied. By the Act of Parliament to which the committee refer we have made considerable conces sions in order to facilitate the reception of evidence in -cases of demands for extradition ; and this Act, which expires in the present year, will probably be continued. The facilities afforded to those whom we may be called upon to surrender, to test, not only before a police magistrate, but before one of the judges of the superior courts, the validity of the demand for extradition, will offer a perfect guarantee against the possibility of spirit ing an individual out of the country without-due inquiry. The charge of the Archbishop of Armagh, like that of the Archbishop of Dublin, is occupied with one subject— the approaching disestablishment of the Irish branch of the English Church. But whilst the Daily News is of opinion that Dr. Trench may be pitied for descending from literature and scholarship to sophistries and pleas for 'injustice, it thinks his brother archbishop, Dr. Marcus Beresford, who is innocent of any contributions to litera ture or theology, occupies a somewhat different place. He can scarcely be expected to see that the position which he and his family have occupied nearly for centuries is a false one. It has been computed, upon data of which the substantial accuracy does not admit of denial, that in three generations the family of Beresford have drawn between three and four millions sterling from the ecclesiastical revenues of Ireland. Dr. Beresford'e relative and immediate predecessor in the archiepiscopal see of Armagh is calculated during his ministry to li-tv netted no less a sum than R 830,000 ; and Dr. Bcres'oro himself has not starved during his ecclesiastical career. To declare the Irish Church a wrong and abuse would be to defile the graves of his ancestors In the accumulation of vast sums .this inns trious family has not neglected spiall gains. Be fore Dr. Marcus Beresford acquired archiepiscopal dignity, lie had won fame in verse, not as a singer, but as the subject of one of Tom Moore's songs, called "The Rector and the Curate, or One Pound Two," an amount which Dr. Marcus Beresford formally claimed as balance in his favour, from a curate whom he was dismissing, from a salary of £7O a year. Prudence and frugality are virtues, and Dr. Beresford is entitled to such credit as this display of them may entitle him to. Whatever may be thought of this episode, unfortunately immortalised in verse that will last longer than Dr. Beresford's charge, the Archbishop of Armagh is, we believe, a well-meaning and well-disposed gentleman. But though he cannot be expected to see a thinly-disguised family pride and latent egotism beneath the veils of his own Protestant and ecclesiastical zeal, he ought not to be first to impute interested motives to the assailants of an Establishment who have no personal motive in attacking it by any means so clear or obvious as his personal reasons for defending it. The Telegraph would ask the Primate whether, if ecclesiastical property be thus inalienable, the Church can ever sanction any arrangement by virtue of which any part of that property has been alienated by the State. WO presume that she cannot ; and, if she cannot, Dr. Beresford must undertake a slightly unpleasant, as well as difficult, work. At one time or other, half the soil of England and Ireland has belonged to the Church, and she has been bereft of property to the amount of millions a year by the action of the State or by the treachery of those prelates and abbots who gave away her lands to their relatives. The greatest nobles in England and Ireland were enriched by what was ones Church pro perty. Does the Lord Primate deny the right of these nobles to their possessions? The Standard credits the delegates at Brussels with a sensible conclusion on the subject of strikes. In order that a strike should be successful, they agreed it must be just and opportune— two conditions which the London cabmen have caused themselves considerable inconvenience by not remembering. The meeting seems to have been unani mously in favour of " absorption of capital by work." If this means that the wage-paid classes should endeavour by regular and systematic labour and thrift to " absorb " capital, and so become capitalists for themselves, the suggestion does great credit to the congress, and the workmen ought to be encouraged everywhere to carry it into effect. The artisans of the world are on the high road to better fortune when they once make up their minds that they must look for advance ment, not to the turbulence and selfish intrigues of dema dogues, but to their own exertions, wisely and properly irected. So far as the Brussels Congress has impressed this lesson upon the delegates it has done good which everyone should be glad to recognise. Adverting to the gallant defence of Samarcand by a body of less than 800 Russians against an army of 50,000 strong, the Herald asks what is the inference to be drawn from these events? We have already more than once attracted notice to the fact that they are leading Russia by rapid degrees up to the granite stronghold of our Indian empire—Afghanistan. But we are not at present noticing the siege and defence of Samarcand with any particularly political purpose. That old city, whose gates have been opened for centuries past to the mightiest caravans of Oriental commerce, which is traversed by enormous highways, familiar to the feet of millions, and which has connected itself with splendid episodes of history, illus trates a strange condition of affairs in Central Asia. Where are those manufactures once so famous ? Where is the trade once so envied? The people seem to be dead, and, although they can fight gallantly for a citadel and flash out the sabres of the desert as nobly as did their forefathers, they make no progress in society or civilisa tion ; they are doomed • doomed irreparably, to be eaten up leaf by leaf like the Italian artichoke, by the vast creep ing power which already overshadows and will ultimatel:, overwhelm them. ncs warns the men in a triencily spirit that a com prehensive revision of the Acts affecting the trade is by no means certain to end to their satisfaction, for many demands have been preferred in the public interest which neither owners nor drivers may find agreeable. At any rate, we recommend them to resume their business now with the same good humour which they have all along maintained. They have brought upon themselves a deserved defeat ; but we are all now quite ready to let bygones be bygones, and to think no more about the matter. The Herald thinks the cabman might have remembered that such demonstrations as those in which he has been recently indulging have one cardinal and incurable infirmity. They do not pay. They may look heroic enough in some people's eyes, but they are not much good to men who live from hand to mouth, and who often find it hard work to pay house-rent and keep on good terms with the grocer and baker. A struggle for £12,000 a year sounds rather grand, but when it has to be kept up at a cost of £50,000 a week, a very simple calculation settles the question of possible profit from a strike which everyone foreaaw could not lakt =my days. • THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 11, 1868. POLICE INTELLIGENCE,--THIS DAY. BOW-STREET. James Stride was again placed before Mr. Vaughan charged with, stealing a book, " Bos well's Anglo-Saxon Dictionary," the property of Mr. Jones, a gentleman residing at Claverton-street, Pimlico. It will be recollected, from the accounts that have appeared in the Sun, that the prisoner was re manded on the last occasion with a view of allow ing hint to bring forward evidenca for the pur pose of proving the unworthiness of the statement of the prosecutor, who, he contended, had given him (prisoner) the book as a remuneration for ser vices rendered. Police-constable 474 said he had been to the booksellers mentioned by the prisoner, all of whom denied the slightest knowledge of him. Some of them admitted to having had transactions with Mr. Jones, but that they knew nothing at all of the prisoner. Stride—What ! did they all say that? Constable—Yes. And with respect to your ac quaintanceship with Mr. Watts, of the British Museum, he denies knowing anything at all about you. _ _ _ Mr. Inspector Scott, from the British Museum, said he attended in order to give a flat denial to the statements made by the prisoner. It was altogether untrue for the prisoner to say he was on friendly terms with Mr. Watts ; that gentleman, in fact, knew nothing about him further tha❑ that he was in the habit of attending the reading-room in the same manner as other respectable persons. Mr. Vaughan told the prisoner on the last occa sion he had made certain accusations against the complainant, and that he (Mr. Vaughan) had directed a constable to make the inquiries the prisoner wished; but it now appeared that there was not the slightest pretence for saying that he was ever in the service of the complainant, or that he was ever authorised to deal in any other way with the book than to dispose of it, and immediately return the money to Mr. Jones. On the last occasion he had directed Mr. Harrison, of the Lan don Library, to attend and produce the book. He wished to know if that person was present ? A young man here stepped forward and said Mr. Harrison was very much engaged, but he attended on his behalf, and produced the book. Mr. Vaughan said he must insist on Mr. Harri son being in attendance, and on that gentleman arriving he said he had to apologize, but his ab sence was owing to the belief that it would be quite sufficient if the clerk who paid for the book was present, and that it was exceedingly inconve nient for him to leave the library. Mr. Vaughan told the witness it was imperative for him to attend in order that he might be bound over to appear at the trial. The prisoner, after having been cautioned in the usual way, proceeded to address the magistrate in the hope of inducing him not to send the case for trial. He entered into a long story about his an tecedents,, and said he had been iu a highly respec table station in life. The complainant, however, had acted iu a manner the most ungentlemanly to wards him, especially after the trouble he (priso ner) had taken in assisting him in getting an appointment at the British Museum. He had been, he still asserted, employed by the complainant, and he supposed that his failure was the reason that he bad been treated in the manner he had been. His friend, Lord Palmerston- _ _ _ Mr. Vaughan said he could not burden the depo sitions with the long and irrevelant statement he was making. If he would address himself to the main point of the case, whether he stole the book or not, he would hear him. . _ The prisoner insisted on continuing his long, rambling statement, which seemed to have reference to anything but the charge he was called upon to answer. Having finished, the magistrate told him he had left the main fact exactly where it stood, and therefore he should fully commit him for trial.; The prisoner was then with some difficulty re moved from the bar, still protesting that he had been employed to sell the book he was charged with stealing. they were being rechopped up to be placed in fresh skins. He demanded to see what other meat he had on the premises, and he took him into a small room, where he found a large piece of putrid beef in brine. This he seized with that chopped up and brought it to this Court, but he would suggest that the meat should not be shown in Court, as it smelt so offensively. It was at present in the yard be hind the building. Police-constable Merritt, 111 W, informed the magistrate that the meat smelt most fearfully. Mr. Paget said he would go and inspect the meat in the open yard. The Defendant said that the meat was good, and " beautiful sausages " could be made with it. He would have no objection to eat any quantity him self. The Magistrate—l will go and see the meat, and if it is in the state you say it is you will be able to take it home and cook it, but from the evidence he was afraid he would not. The Magistrate and officers of the court pro ceeded to the yard, ald there found the beef and chopped meat in a perfectly putrid state. After condemning the meat, the Magistrate c lased summons.3s for the attendance of other wit nesses to prove the case of having the unwholesome meat in his possession, and also the medical officer. wake were Thorwaldsen, Night Jar,, and Walmer, Bro ther to Shibboleth and Apemantus being in the extreme rear. They ran without any material change to the becd when Dryad gave way, and her place was taken up by Crocus, who came on slightly in advance of the favourite and Lady Dewhurst, the latter lying on the inside, with Thorwaldsen wide on their right. On reaching the Stand Osborne brought up the last-named, and having his horses immediately in difficulties, quitted them without an effort, and won easily by three parts of a length ; Ityshworth finished a bad third ; Lady Dewhurst was fourth, Dryad fifth, Night Jar sixth, and Walmer next ; the others were beaten off.

As usual, a long delay at the post occurred through the over anxiety of several of the light weights to get away. At last the patience of the spectators was rewarded by the lot getting away upon; excellent terais, with the exception of Belphegor, who jumped round at the time, and was left at the post When fairly under way the running was taken up by Pericles, next the rail; closely followed by Tibthorpe, Lady Rosohill, Caup d'Eclat, and Hermit, to whom succeeded The Faun, Lady Zetland, Timaru, and the Last Rose of Summer in a body, Hermitage, with Prince George and Landscape, heading the next division. In these positions they remained until the distance was reached, when Lady Zetland with Timaru quitted their rearward positions and joined Pericles at the Stand; but in a few strides further Mr Feaster's mare quitted Pericles and won very easily by a length ; Timaru was third, close up; Coup d'Eclat fourth, close up, with whom was Hermit fifth, Tibthorpe sixth, Last Rose of Summer seventh, and The Faun next. The others were widely spread, and pulling up as they passed the post.

Further particulars have been received relative to the wreck of the ship R. H. Tucker, 1,100 tons, of Wisconsin, U.S., on the Blackwater Bank off the coast of 'Wexford. It appears that, as soon as the intelligence of the stranding of the vessel was re ceived on the morning of the. Bth inst., the lifeboats of the National Lifeboat Institution stationed at Rosslare, Cahore, and Courtown were launched to her assistance, and proceeded to the Sandbank. The Rosslare boat went out in tow of a steamer, and brought ashore the captain's wife, mother, sister, and child, and the ship's steward, who were taken off the vessel by tLe Cahore lifeboat. It was blowing a severe gale at the time, accompanied by a very heavy sea. The coastguard galley, from Morris Castle station, the nearest to the spot, had arrived first at the wreck, but she at once returned to the shore with a tele graphic message, leaving the chief boatman of the coastguard on board. The Cahore lifeboat on reaching the vessel was requested to re main by her, and the crew assisted to lighten her by throwing overboard some of the cargo, and in this they were aided by the crew of the Courtown lifeboat. After a short time this was found to be useless, the wind and sea increas ing and the ship labouring heavily; the lifeboat men therefore returned to their boats, and eight of the vessel's crew were also taken into the Cahore life boat, when a tremendous sea struck her and covered all, so that for a time it was actually thought the lifeboat had gone down, but she behaved nobly, and very speedily emptied herself of water. Still she was much damaged, and it was thought advisable for the safety of all to cut her adrift, which was done. An attempt was afterwards made to regain the ship, the coxswain of the lifeboat being on board her, but the crew were unable to do so, and the boat anchored about 400 yards away. As the Courtown lifeboat was then seen to be getting up alongside it was concluded she would be able to rescue the remainder of those on board the R. H. 'Tucker, and the Cahore boat therefore returned to the shore and was beached at Black water. The Courtown boat remained along side at the request of the master. About two hours afterwards the vessel caught fire and the lifeboat was then hauled alongside again, and as there was no chance then of saving the ship took off the fourteen persons left on board, consisting of the master, first and second officers, eight of the crew, the coxswain of the Cahore lifeboat, the chief boatman of coast guard, and another man. When the lifeboat got inside the bank, she was anchored to see if the vessel would be totally consumed, and shortly afterwards the masts fell, and the ship being all in flames the lifeboat came ashore, all being safely landed. Had it not been for this lifeboat, it is probable that the poor fellows would have perished, as there were no other boats alongside when the vessel took fire. The lifeboatmen appear to have behaved in a most gallant manner in this service, and they speak most highly of the admirable behaviour of the life boats in the fearful weather they experienced, and state that they have the greatest confidence in them. The Curracloe Coastguard boat had attempted to reach the wreck but failed to do so, and in return ing ashore she was unfortunately capsized and four men drowned.

Yesterday the streets of the metropolis were crowded with cass, most of which were empty, and long lines of fareless four-wheelers and Hansoms seemed to point out that the public were " striking," to some extent, against those who until yesterday were on strike against the public. The cabmen, by the terms of their resolution on the previous night, bound them selves not to ply for hire near any railway stations, so that the strike may, as much as possible, be kept up against all travellers by railways, but the resolution was so far disregarded that not only were the stations full of cabs, but the adjacent stands were in most instances thronged with vehicles, the drivers of which were not at all dis posed to question where their few customers came from. But it must be understood that the cabmen and their masters have not yet given over all idea of beating the railway companies by inconveniencing the public. They cannot bring themselves to see that public opinion is decidedly against the step they took, and they look forward now to getting a union of all drivers, privileged and unprivileged, by a sort of coercion—that is, by its being an under stood thing that any man not belonging to the union will not be employed by any of the Union masters if he should leave his employment. When this unani mous combination is obtained, it is proposed to have a sudden and general strike, in which case it is thought the companies must succumb to the cabbies. One experience the trade has acquired, namely, that the business of the metropolis can be carried on, at all events at this season of the year, without cabs, and the head men hint that if they do have a strike again it will be when Parliament is sitting and some body is in town. This, most likely, is only the humour of men who have found themselves on the losing side, and it may reasonably be supposed that the c.tbmen have had enough of striking, seeing that a confession was publicly made at the meeting the other night that the men v. ere " hard up" even with four days' idleness, and there can be no doubt that much suffering among the families of the cabmen will follow this re•naritable, strike.

A SCENE IN N CONCERT ROOM.—Ellen Farr, a young woman, was brought before Mr. Knox, on a warrant, charged with assaulting Ellen Barry. The complainant, whose face was injured, said chat on Tuesday night she went to a concert at the White Lion, Hemming's-row, and was called upon to sing a song. While the chairman had gone down stairs the prisoner came up to her, asked her a question, and then said that he would smash her nose. The prisoner then struck her, and they went downstairs into the street and had a fight, and the prisoner fell and hurt her head. The prisoner was taken to the Charing Cross Hospital, and some time after re turned with a bottle of something which had been given to her by the doctor, and struck her (com plainant) in the face, and she had also to be taken to the hospital. Mr. Knox said that as far as the first part of the matter was concerned the complainant was as bad as the prisoner. The prisoner said that she was in the concert room when the complainant came and muttered something to her, and told her that she was too fast, and stripped off her things, and struck her two or three times. The complainant then challenged her to go down stairs and have it out, and on going down stairs the complainant threw her on the kerb, and hurt her head. She went to the hospital, and, on returning with a bottle in her hand, the complainant said something to the landlady about her, and she then asked the com plainant why she had given her such an eye, and struck her with the bottle. Arthur Herring, one of the warrant officers, said that on taking the prisoner into custody, and tell ing her the charge, she admitted it, but said that she was not sober at the time, that she was sorry for it, and that the one was as bad as the other. Air. Knox said that appeared to be the case— one being taken to the hospital of ter the other. The prisoner said that she would compensate the complainant as far as lay in her power. Mr. Knox said he would remand the prisoner for seven days on her own recognizances, when both parties could come and tell him how they were getting on, one appearing to be as much to blame as the other. THE OWNER REQUIRED FOR A ROLL OF FLANNEL. —Reuben Cooper, potman, of No. 3, Johnson's court, Fleet-street, was charged with having in his possession a roll of flannel, 21 yards, supposed to be stolen. The prisoner was seen by Joseph Wiuter, 97 F, last night in company of the other lad going to dif ferent shops in Dudley-street with a roll of flannel under his arm. Windsor saw him go to Donaf, a marine store dealer, and he then went up and asked him where he had got the flannel from, and he said at first that he had bought it in Gough square of a young man on the previous night, but afterwards altered his story, and Windsor then took him into custody. The prisoner, in answer to Mr. Knox, said that he bought the flannel of a young man he did not know. . Mr. Knox told the prisoner that he did not be lieve him. On the application of Windsor the prisoner was remanded. THAMES. How SAUSAGES ARE MADE.—Edward North durft, a German, was charged before Mr. Paget with the following serious offence, to wit, having in his possession and preparing bad meat unfit for the food of man. The present is probably the worst case that has been brought before a court of justice. Samuel Pritchard said that he had received nu merous complaints of the neighbours in St. George's in-the .East of an intolerable smell proceeding from the premises occupied by the defendant. Yesterday he went to his house, which was numbered 50, in Everard-street, where he saw meat being chopped up and made into German sausages. There were some sausages in skins, which stunk fearfully, and WESTMINSTER. DEALING WITH PAROCHIAL 0 HTFITTERS.—Two hale, hearty, young fellows, giving the names of Johnson and Hill, who presented a very clean and chaste appearance in two new tourist's suits of striped canvass, of rather extensive dimensions, and unadorned with any superfluity of buttons or trim mings, were charged with having compelled the parish of St. Margaret's, Westminster, to supply the same in lieu of clothing which they had de molished. Thomas lialerman, superintendent of the casual ward, said that the defendants came in at five last evening for a night's lodging. After supping they went to bed, where he found them sitting up this morning in a state of nudity. They had destroyed all the clothing in which they came there. Defendants said they had torn it up because it was dirty. Inspector Arnold said that it was evident this was not the first time defendants had done this. When they applied to him last night for the order for admission, he remarked that they had parish clothing on, such as is given when the others are de stroyed. He asked them what they got for that, when one said twenty-one days, and the other twenty-eight days, and added that it was at Brom ley, in Kent. _ _ Mr. Selfe said he should not give them so much, because he understood that for fourteen days the punishment would be greater, as up to that term of imprisonment the diet was more gruelly. Committed for fourteen days. SPORTING IN TELLIGE N CE. DONCASTER SUMMER MEETING. TIIURSDA.Y. In striking contrast with the high pressure ex citement of the St. Leger-day, the proceedings of Thursday were very tame and spiritless, the only features of the programme that created more than a passing interest being the Portland Plate and the New Two-Year-Old Stakes, a Sweepstakes of 10 sous., with 200 added. The latter is now fairly en titled to take rank among the more important 2-yr old events of the season, but on the present occa sion the withdrawal of Belladrum in favour of his stable companion, Crocus, detracted materially from the interest of the contest. In the absence of Mr. Merry's Derby crack his old opponent, Rysh worth, was made a hot favourite at 5 to 4, Crocus being next in demand at 3 to 1 ; but both were un expectedly bdwled over by the outsider Thorwald sen, who, though compelled to come outside his horses at the bend, fairly collared Crocus at the half-distance, and won cleverly from Mr. Merry's filly by three-quarters of a length. The favourite, who gave way on entering the straight, finished a bad third. After the race 25 to 1 was taken about the winner for the Derby, and the same price offered against Ryshworth without eliciting a response. Sixteen competitors sporte I silk for the Portlan Plate, including Heriiiit, Pericles, Tibthorpe, Last R ,se. of Summer, Timaru, the Faun. &c. The betting underwent numorous fluctuations, but at the close Hermit, in the face of his impost of 9.st. 41b., was made the favourite at 2 to 1, a point more being laid against Last Rose of Summer. The winner, however, turned up most unexpectedly in Laly Zetland, who started at the outside price of 25 to 1, and won cleverly at the finish by a length. Pericles, who made all the running, was second, and Timaru third, a neck only separating the pair. The Badminton Handicap brought to the post a field of five out of the 16 coloured on the card, and resulted in au easy victory for Laneret, who, not withstanding his impost of Bst. 111 b., landed the odds of 6to 5 laid on him in gallant style, Lady ilenriette and Ritualist finishing respectively se cond and third. The Eglinton Stakes was reduced to a match be tween Lord Hawthorn and Minaret, the latter, though the non-favourite, winning very easily at the finish. Blue Gown was also entered for this race, but did not appear in the paddock. It subse quently transpired that he had left for Kingsclere by an early train in the morning. Geant des Batailles walked over for the Zetland Stakes, and Charnwood went through a similar ceremony for the Scarborough Stakes, Mr. Pryor declining the contest with Ritualist in each case. The weather was beautifully fine, and the Ring tolerably well patronised ; but the attendance of the general public was extremely meagre, even for an " off-day."
