The idea is novel and ingenious, and is universally recognized as meeting a public want. It is, in fact, the application to foreign investments of the principle of mutual in surance, and diminishing risks by arranging them over a wide area, which has proved so fruitful in the case of marine and life assurances. At the present day there is a large number of persons who desire to increase their incomes by investing in securities bearing a high rate of interest, to whom such an investment may be perfectly consistent with prudence, provided the risk run be not excessive. But if a io:son thus circumstanced invest his whole surplus capital in any foreign stock, such, for instance, as Turkish or Italian, there is no denying that the investment becomes speculation, and that in staking everything on the continued solvency of any one State, he runs a considerable risk. But if the same investment had been spread over fifteen or twenty different stocks, the temporary stoppage of even two or three of the Go vernments would not endanger the loss of his capital, or reduce the benefit of his investment to a level with that afforded by such securities as railway debentures or mortgages on land. In addition to the high rate of interest, the advantage of repayment at par by drawings of stocks purchased.at a discount, is very considerable, and of itself replaces with a large profit the greater part of the original capital within the period of the trust. The combined effect of the sinking fund and drawings is such that after yielding an annual interest of 7 per cent. the whole of the original capital is repaid, with a bonus of 15 per cent. in 24 years, and there remains £900,000 of stock as a reversion divisible among the subscribers. By the issue of £lOO certificates a pro rata share of this investment is secured to the small investor on the same terms as to the . large capitalist. A man who has a single £lOO to invest may become a holder of 15 of the principal foreign and colonial stocks, currently quoted on the Stock Exchange,• and have his investment managed for him without trouble, and at a comparatively small cost, on a system which gives him the same pro rata advantage as the holder of £lOO,OOO, both in spreading the risk over a wide area and in realising the average effect of drawings, and securing the regular action of a sinking fund, which, in a short period, repays the original capital, and leaves him a holder of stocks which have cost nothing. MUSICAL ITEMS.—Auber is at work at another opera. Verdi's Don Carlos has been produced at Brussels. M. Hector Berlioz has left St. Petersburg, and is at present staying at Monaco. The degree of Bachelor in Music has been taken by Mr. John Frederick Bridge, of Queen's College, Oxford. It is said that Mdlle. Nillson is a charming violin player, and that Rossini has promised to write some music for her. Rubinstein's playing is exciting great enthusiasm in Brussels ; some of his own compositions have been very favourably received. The result of the endless bickerings among the musical pro fessors of Leeds has been to exclude "native talent from the musical arrangements of a forthcoming Fine Art Exhibition to be held in that town. At Paris a gentle man of the name of Michotte gave a performance at M. Gustave Dore's last soiree on an instrument called the "matauphone." It consists of graduated glasses filled with water, on which it is said he executes fantasias, overtures, and every species of musical composition. — Musical Standard.

It may be remembered that the ship was cast ashore close to Calais, and the lifeboat, first manned by the Frenchmen, went off to the relief of the crew of the shipwrecked vessel. They did not reach her, and then some Englishmen volun teered to take the English lifeboat out ; but on getting near to the wreck a tremendous sea caught the boat and she filled, and several of the men were washed away. Another effort was made to rescue the crew, and eventually some of them were saved. Hubbart and Rose are stated to have Performed the most meritorious service. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS AND THE CONFEDERATE COTTON LOAN.—The last advicea from the United States mention a fact which may be interesting to the holders of the Confede- rate Cotton Bonds issued by Messrs. J. 11. Schroder and Co. It appears that the Government of the United States admit that they have cotton in their hands which belonged to the Confederate Government to the amount of 30,000,000 dole., and they have directed that the proceeds of this cotton shall be paid Into the United States Treasury, there to await the claims that may be made against it. The United States Government by this measure may almost be said to consti. tute itself a trustee for the claimants. We are informed that the committee of cotton bondholders have directed a case to be submitted to counsel in order to ascertain the best means by which they may obtain their share of the proceeds of this cotton. The ordering of those proceeds to be paid into the Treasury seems to be a preliminary on the part of the United States Government to admitting the principle that "they who seek equity must do equity," and that they are prepared to admit the counter claims on the part of British subjects alluded to by Lord Stanley in his speech on the Alabama claims, and are setting aside funds to meet their liabilities.—Money Market Review. THE MINERAL RESOURCES OF THE PACIFIC SLOPE.— Mr. Browne (of the United States) estimates the yield of the different States and territories of the Un;on as follows : California, £5,000,000 ; Nevada, £4,000,000 ; Montana, £2,400,000; Idaho, £1,300,000; Washington, £200,000; Oregon, £400,000 ; Colorado, £500,000; New Mexico, £lOO,OOO ; Arizona, £lOO,OOO ; and miscellaneous, £1,000,000, making a total of £15,000,000. The entire product of the precious metals from this region in the twenty years from 1848 to 1867 is estimated to have been £233,000,000, or at the rate of £11,650,000 per annum, of which £180,000,000 was from California, the riches of the other districts being of comparatively recent discovery. Although the return of last year was considerably in excess of the average return of the past twenty years, which include the early times when the population was relatively small, it appears that, compared with the immediately preceding years, 1867 shows a decline. According to Mr. Browne, the population actually engaged in mining has greatly diminished in the past few years, and does not now exceed 50,000. Agriculture, manufactures, and commerce are assuming the preponderance over the mining interest. Important mining results are anticipated from the cm pletlon of the Pacific Railway, which will touch a point within 100 miles of a new locality where, according to some reports, extremely rich and otousivc diacorcries have lately been made. la V. 7 9° 126 learn tlO Lter eve Ln Bo° 1° alternate DC.

The best of the public horses is Electricity ; but of the " dark " horses I know nothing beyond the fact of Defender having been well tried, though whether he runs or not lam not unaware. For both the Stamford and Heathcote Plates there are such im mense entries that at this distant date I dare not express any opinion of either. For "Wednesday, the races possessing most interest are the Great Metro politan, the New Two Year Old Stakes, the Epsom Cup, the Walton Stakes, and a new race named after his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, to which there is the liberal addition of 200 soya. What, will comprise the field for the Great Metro politan Handicap I have no means of knowing, or even guessing, consequently it would be quite a waste of time to examine the pretensions of the sixty-two horses that accepted. It will be noticed . that although Franchise has been struck out of the City -and Suburban she remains in this race, but with such a comparatively heavy weight for a three year old as Gat 131 b, I can't regard her . chance to be a good- one. Demonstration and Demon we Eaw stay well in the Feather Plate, and they ought not to be omitted in any lots taken against the field ; nor ought Adamant, as he, though very moderate, is just now.in form, as he showed by running second for the Spring Cup at Liverpool. Nyanza, lam also told, likes a distance, and Angus also.; but for such a- long journey I would rather trust to Aggra vator,.4 yrs, 7st 71b ; Nine Elms, 4 yrs, 7st 51b; and the turned loose Carnage, 4 yrs, Gat 41b ; but of these my preference is for NOE ELMS; because he is bred to stay, and knoWs his way to the winning post on this course, as he proved last year on two occasions. In the Two Year Old Stakes thirty-eight youngsters • are engaged, including De Vere and Electricity, both of whom are bound to run well from their previous perfor mances; but I expect the winnerwill turn up among the " dark" division, of whom I km* too little to give an opinion. For the Cup, •twenty-one horses accepted, to run one mile, and - it will be a sporting race should Speculum and Orion meet, the former of whom, 1 fancy, will furnish the winner. The ' Prince of Wales Stakes is also run on - the mile course, and as twenty-four horses are weighted, the field Will, doubtless, be considerable. Of the top weights, I prefer Xi, 5 yrs, Bst 131 b, and of the lower - Conundrum, 4 yrs, 7st 21b, and Cecil, 3 yrs, Gat 61b. In the Walton Stakes, which is for two and three -year olds, seventeen youngsters are en gaged, against five three year olds, the latter being Ironmaster, Lictor, Adosinda, Cation, and the bay colt by Dundee out of Cotytto. The course is three quarters of a mile, and as Ironmaster showed fine speed for that distance at Nottingham, he must be my choice. . The list for Croxton Park holds out Promise of some good racing, as there are; twenty acceptances for the Granby Handicap, and-eleven for tht., Cup, whilst thirteen three year olds have been . 110:11i nated for the Belvoir Castle Stakes. For the Granby Handicap the three best in are King oF the Fairies, 4 yrs, lOst 121 b; the Colt by Romulus out of Attack, 4 yrs, lOst 101 b ; and Eglamour, 4 yrs, lOst 41b, for the former of whom 1 have the most fancy. In the Cup (two miles) I think Sealskin will give the weight to the moderate lot opposed to him ; and in the absence of The Earl, Veda or Cat ton may win the Belvoir Castle Stakes. In the Croxton Park Plate fourteen horses are engaged, and Stanton looks formidable, with Conundrum, 5 yrs, 7st 71b, and Jeannie Deans, 4 yrs, 7st 51b ; Narino, 4 yrs, 7at 111 b, also being well in. The .Billesdon Coplow Stakes closed with thirteen nominations, and altogether the meeting bids fair, to be the best held at Croxton Park for many years.

TRAINING REPORTS. KINGSCLERE, Thursday.—Sir Joseph Hawley arrived here at half-past nine, and an hour later the following horses went to the Cannon. Heath Downs: —The Palmer, Wolsey, Satyr,. Blue Gown, Fakir, Xi, Green Sleeve, Rosicrucian, Cotytto, Pere Gomez, Nil Gau, King Cophema, Adosiuda, rnd Vabalathus. All cantered in the hollow with the exceptim of Vabalathu3, Rosicrucian, and King Corhetul, who took some walking and trotting ex ercise, and rain falling heavily they were sent home early. Xi, Fakir, Wolsey, and Satyr galloped at a good pace rather over a mile. The Palmer led Biue Gown, Green Sleeve, and Adosinda a half speed gallop of a tilde. Pero Gomez and Nil Galt went together at a gentle pace about three-quarters of a mile. The morning's work was wound up by The Palmer leading Blue Gown and Green Sleeve a rattling gallop of nearly two miles, all going in fine style, and Satyr following at a steadier pace. Friday—The following came out :—Rosicrucian, Vabalathus, The Palmer, Wolsey, Satyr, Xi, Fakir, Adosinda, Cotytto, 'Blue Gown, Green Sleeve, Pero Gomez, Nyl Gau, and King Cophetua, all looking well, more especially Rosicrucian, Blue Gown, and Green Sleeve. The crack, King Co phetua, and Vabalathus took some healthy walking and trotting exercise. The Palmer led Blue Gown, Green Sleeve, and Adosinda a nice half speed gallop of nearly two miles, Satyr following at a steady pace, which was the only galloy done. NEWMARKET.—IIayhoe on Wednesday sweated Suffolk, North Marston, Restitution, and King Alfred. Hippia led Nyanza a good gallop across the flat. Courtmantle, Tregeagle, and Kingsley cantered steadily. Laneret and Licymnia did steady work. Bessy dixou went a good gallop round Cambridge Hill, and this filly goes strong and well. Knight of the Garter, Blinkhoolie, Vauban, Hebe, Hermit, St. Ronan, Out. and-Outer, and Vespasian did their usual work. Ravioli only cantered once. Lady Coventry, Julius, Pace, Speculum, Harvester, Innerdale, Clemence, Ninny, Contempt, Angus, Clairon, Corinne, Ldonie, and a lot more were bustling along. Typhoeus and King Charming were doing some nice steady work. Nine Elms, Beauclerk, and Cheltenham went well. Thursday. —The following of Matthew Dawson's galloped together :—Pericles and Bismarck, Julius and Clairon, Corinne and Speculum, Clemence and Angus, and Innerdale and Lanark. These all did strong work. Pace and Harvester did a nicasteady gallop by themselves. Laneret went a nice steady gallop over the flat. Hermit, Vauban, St. Ronan, Midshipman Easy, Knight of the Garter, Target, and Blinkhoolie cantered, and afterwards the "Knight" went a clinking gallop by himself. Target led Blinkhoolie a fair gallop. Goodwood, Python, and Kettleholder went a good gallop across the flat, all three going strong and well. —Friday.—Nine Elms and Cheltenham went a steady gallop. Python and Kettleholder galloped together. Clairon, Pace, Harvester, Julius, Con tempt, Lady Coventry, and Speculum did good work. Typhoeus and Apollonius took nice exercise. Demonstration, Verulam, Stephen Langton, and Handsome Jack all galloped on the Long Hill. Jasper, Restitution, Suffolk, and King Alfred gal loped on the flat. I think I have made mention of all the horses engaged from here in the two great handicaps at Epsom next week. _ RICHMOND.— Thursday.— Moldavia, Caprera, Sorcerer, The Gleaner, Stella, and Annie Stewart did some good work of a mile. Lund took his lot down to Catterick, where they took some good gal lops, Adamant doing remarkably well. Watson sent Lord Ronald and Chelsea a good steady gallop of about a mile and a quarter. Virtue, Viridior, and Buttercup went two miles steadily. Raunds led Plaudit once round the moor gently. After all the other teams had left, Lord Z ;Aland, with a lot of friends, arrived on the moor, where they put Geant des Batailles through the mill for Croston Park. In the spin were El Cid, Hermosa, and 2Eothen, and the Geant was ridden by Mr. G. S. Thompson, but I am sorry to say he has not made the sli,ghttst improvement on last year's form, and will never bring prestige to the Aske stable. Of this moderate lot, ]Eotheu had much the best of it all the way, the Geant toiling hopelessly in the rear. Brautingham, Brennus, Felucca, and Valtz can tered, and then El Cid piloted Brennus and Valtz steadily up the moor. MlDDLl:llAM.—Thursday. — Fervaeques, Casta net, Lord Hastings, and Louis of Hesse had a good gallop. Osborne's went through the same work as on Wednesday, and Dawson's lot did some good PREFERENCE SHARES.

The programme for the meeting on the Surrey hills is of the usual extent—viz., twelve races equally spread over Tuesday and Wednesday. The principal events for the first day are the City and Suburban, the Two Year Old Stakes, the Stamford Plate, and the Ileathcote Plate. The field for the City and Suburban will number about 30. Lane ret, I am told, will run, but I cannot believe that he has much chance with such a heavy impost as Oat 21b. Good horses, however, invariably " run up" in this race, which is the most I expect to see him do. Knight of the Garter and Blinkhoolie will both start, but having no faith in Laneret pulling through, it naturally follows that I can have none in Knight of the Garter, as I do not believe him to be so good a horse as Mr. Bryan's. Blinkhoolie has always beeen a fair performer, and as in my opinion speed is more his forte than distance, of which we had evidence in several races, but more particu lar in the Cesarewitch and Great Midland Counties Handicap, I believe that the horse that beats him will be heralded the victor of this great race on, Wednesday next. It cannot escape the notice of those who make racing their study that Blinkhoolie is remarkably well in, meeting as be does moderate three year olds like Russian Bear and Nyan za at 32 lb for the year, to run a mile and a quarter; whilst, if the best three year old in training were to start against him for the Craven Stakes, at Newmarket, more than three weeks hence, he would only have to give him 261 b ; co nsequently, unless there is among the three year olds a horse possessing Derby form—which I do not believe, unless Kettleholder does —I need not further waste time by referring at length to the horses of that age. Franchise, owing to her having stayed so well in the Newmarket Nur sery, and to her having been backed for the " Blue Riband," I fancied had a chance, an opinion that was shared in by the public, as they backed her ; but a s she was struck out on Tues day, I need not allude to her further than to remark that • it was unfortunate she was scratched so SOOl3, now that the stable has lost Captain Kidd, on whom they placed their faith instead of on Sister to Savernake. Aber geldie, the winner of this race last year, though he has now to put up 111 b more than he then carried, is still well in ; but the horses immediately behind him on that occasion, Fitz-Ivan and Violent, sub sequently ran so badly that I do not regard his vic tory to be any criterion of merit, as he was well spurred to win ; and for that reason I cannot be lieve in his ability to carry this great race off the second year in succession. Nemea 1 have always had a great fancy for since she won the Mottisfont Stakes at Stockbridge, beating the Duke of York and several others, when two years old ; and as she last year showed in France that she has retained her form, I must have her on my side in this en counter —my only doubt being that it is the money of the public, and not Count Lagrange's, she has been backed for. Cheltenham having, after a dead heat, been only able to beat Speculum by a head, at 71b, six furlongs, last Oct., can have no chance, as he now meets the Duke of Newcastle's horse on the same terms—a fact that, doubtless, has induced some wiseacres to back the latter ; but the idea of his winning with such a weight as 6st 121 b is too Utopian to be entertained for a moment. Honestish, Thalia, and Fitz-Ivan will have to improve many pounds on any form they showed last year to prove successful. Grey Stock ing and the colt by Romulus out of Attack may represent the Stanton stable. The former is a good filly at home, but the market does not say much for her chance here. The Attack colt ran well on one or two occasions, particularly for the Hunt Cup at Ascot, and as he has been backed he is doubtless now in form, and ought to run well with his lenient impost of 6st 91b. The Breach I have never seen perform, but as he is a good-looking horse, and is well bred for speed, he may run forward, though since the wretched performance of Fire Eater at Warwick, his noble owner has no great hope of flower and the Parson will pulling through. May stable, but from the man represent the Russley ner they knock them about the chance of neither looks to be a very good one. Mayflower is well in, and is bound to run well, if in form ; but when the stable puts faith in The Parson I think speculators bad better have nothing to do with either. Stradbroke has been given plenty of time by his owner, who ought to be rewarded for his patience by pulling this race off ; but I can give no opinion about him, not having seen him since he was sold in the High-street, at Newmarket, when two years old. He was then a tall, narrow colt, since which he has run only all " legs and wings," once—viz., at Brighton, against Trocadero, when as fat as a bull ; and for that one beating he is let in with 6st ! To put such a weight on the son of Thormanby and Virago for one beating is ridiculous, and is turning handicapping into a farce. He may not be worth sixpence, but as his astute owner has backed him, that is not likely, and he ought to be kept harmless, as it is more than on the cards for him to repeat the victory his dam so easily achieved in 1854. Lady Rosehill is another turned loose four year old. I know nothing about her, beyond her running very badly in this race last year, but as 40 to 1 is offered against her, she can't be very dangerous. From the foregoing remarks, it will be seem that I am bound to give a " plumper " for BLINKHOOLIE ; believing that his most dangerous opponent will be KETTLE HOLDER, if he possesses the form I believe him to do ; and after the pair the ATTACK COLT may be mile work ; also Winter's and Masterman's. In the City and Suburban, next week, we have Honestish, The D,!an, and The Corporal engaged. The first named is looking very well just now, and will run forward, but I do not think him quite good enough to win. The Dean is not a very good one, but The Corporal is a clipper at home, and should he run kindly will be bad to beat. Tynedale and Fortunio are in the Great Metropolitan, and Tynedale is out of woLk, while Fortuuio, though he has done a lot of long work of late, cannot be very fit, and I think will not run. Belmont, King of the Fairies, Men dicant, and Slap Bang are doing well for Croxton Park Meeting, and I shall give you a full account of them in my next. STOCKBRIDGE.—After some canters on Wednes- I day, Cock o' the Walk led Arbaces, Lopez, Espar tero, Blucher, Rowallan, and Amethyst colt, Athena led Cuckoo, Minnie Warren, Lady Cecilia, Lady Di, Crucifixion filly, Blackbird colt, and the Hip podamia filly, Europa and Lady Raglan, Seville and Summer's Eve, Logarithm, The Earl, Herald, Lord of the Dales, and Birdseeker all went a mile. Logarithm then led The Earl, Herald, and Birdseeker a steady sweat of about four miles. Thursday.—Lo garithm led The Earl, Herald, and Bird Seeker; Cock o' the Walk led Arbaces, Lopez, Espartero, Blucher, Rowallan, and the Amethyst colt ; Athena led Lady Cecilia, Lady Di, Bouquet filly, and the Crucifixion filly. Europa and Minnie Warren went about a mile. Seville led Lord of the Dales, Summer's Eve, and Cuckoo a mile and three-quarters. Re galia had a nice gallop of a mile and a half, but went very steadily. Lady Elizabeth was out walk ing by herself, and seems as fresh as she possibly can be. Friday.—The same lot of horses were oat from both Danebury and Houghton Downs, and after having had one canter were sent home. MALTON, Thursday.—Consternation, Tunstall colt, The Marquis gelding, Weatherbit filly, Bab at the Bowater gelding, and Betrayal had a couple of steady canters, and the last-named four took a good gallop of a mile and a half. The following of Peck's were sent a couple of half-speed gallops of a mile :—Blacklock, Skylark, filly. by Vedette, filly by Buccaneer, Di Spanker, Fichu, Camillo, and Agrippa. Some of these appear to me, by the work they are doing, as though they would be wanted shortly. Scott had his usual lot out, and, after giving them some healthy exercise, he sent Thunder and The Spy a gentle gallop, led by Southminster. Fecialis, Kentish Fire, Toison d'Or, Barna Bimbo, and The Clipper took a gallop of a mile and a quar ter. Westwick, Taraban, War, Merry and Wise, Thorsgill, and Viscount wound up with a three parts speed gallop of two miles. CHILTON, Thursday.—The following were put along at their best speed :—Virginia Creeper, Secondhand, Kicksy Wicksy, Careful, Lilac, Osprey, The Scout, Calibau colt, Muscovite colt, Joskin c, Chateau Margaux, Woodman, and Precocious.. M.A. ran well at IVar wick, and your readers are aware that I have always spoken of him as being a good horse. I believe that we shall have another or two who will be dangerous to meet some day. Hanks's are all well, and doing good work. STANTON.—Christmas Carol, Wandering Min strel, Attack colt, See-Saw, and Runic on Tues day went a mile and a half at a rasping pace, and the remainder of the team c:mtercd about three quarters of a mile. Wednesday—The-above named did a like amount of work, save Christmas Carol, who went to Warwick. The R inee colt, Sportsman, Lady Highthorn, The Returned, Conundrum, Ueyinnia, Catton, Runic, Batonnier, and Proucsse had a mile and a-half gallop, all going well. Jeanie Deans, Marlyon, Archeress filly, Tarquin, Abys sinia, Jove, and falmitine went at good speed. Sal liet has been eased in her work, and Gordian Knot is only walking. Thursday—Jezabel was sent twice about a mile and a half. Wandering Minstrel, S.;e- Saw, Ranee colt, and Marlyou did their usual amount of work. ILSLEY.—Friday.--Dalby and Viridis were out, and Dalby had two steady canters cf about half a mile each. He looked fresh and well, and went in his old form. Viridis did nothing beyond walking and trotting exercise, but she looked uncommonly well. EYFIELD.—On Thurslay, after two canters of about half a mile, Adam Bede and Captain Kidd galloped a mile steadily. At the finish of the gal lop I noticed the lad get cff Captain Kidd and look round the horse, and thought there was something wrong with hire. lie stool hi the same place where he pulled up for about half an hour, when they got him to the sweating house, 200 yards off. The veterinary surgeon was fetched from Marlborough, and it was found his leg was broken just above the knee. No horse in England was doing better than he was at the time. Friday.—Brother to Knight of the Crescent, Skipjack, Picnic, and Tretnble had a rattling gallop, and finished in the order named, and the " Knight's" brother will be our best for the City and Suburban. At Last led Adam Bede a nice gallop of a mile, the latter going well, and he improves daily. Whalebone led Franchise and Boanerges a mile and a half, the lot going well. Adam Bede kicked Captain Kidd yesterday when they pulled up after the gallop, and the latter has since been destroyed. LAMBOURNE.-Mr. Merry was here on Tuesday, and inspected the following horses :—Marksman, North Briton, Jolly Tar, Liddington, Miss Croft, Glenderg, The Parson, Miss Hayes, Stockwell colt, Marsyas colt, Sunbeam colt, Sunflower colt, Sun flower filly, Clothilde filly, Masquerade filly, and Scottish Chief filly. The first to do work was Marksman, who was sent a canter by himself. Miss Hayes led the Sunflower colt, Glenderg, Sister to Scottish Chief, and the Sunbeam colt a steady canter. The Parson led several two year olds a half-speed canter. Liddington was sent a nice canter by himself. The following were then put through the mill over something like three-quarters of a mile :—Miss Hayes, Jolly Tar, Miss Croft, the Clothilde filly, and the Marsyas colt, and they finished in the order named. Marksman, Stockwell colt, and Glenderg galloped by themselves. Glen derg's, I think, is a long way from Derby form, and those who have backed him may quickly make up their minds that they have lost their money. The Masquerade filly and North Briton had a sharp set-to with their clothes on, both going very well. Wednesday.—Knight, after one canter, put Lady Rosehill, Patrician, and Child of the Islands through the mill, Patrician winning, Lady Rosehill being second, with Child of the Islands last. At Epsom we have the following in the Two Year Old Stakes :—Defender, Black Jimmy, Sunflower filly, Masquerade filly, Albert, and Scottish Rose. I think Defender will be found the best of them, but he would stand a better chance, in my opinion, with a bit more work. EPSOII.—On Wednesday Balsamo led Carnage two miles at a good pace. Thorndyke, Brown Jug, SeaSerpent,Buffoon,Maid of Avenel, Bonnie Katie, and Van Amburgh were doing well. Electricity went a rare gallop. Thursday.—Carnage was sent a good sweat. Electricity and Antias had a rare duster. Skirmish, Monitress, Dundee colt, and Ampleforth went a nice gallop of a mile. Beeswing went striding along for a mile and a half. Friday. —Clansman did some long, slow work. Owen Roe led Warlike, Cecil, and Manoeuvre filly a nice gallop over the Metropolitan Course, and Diamond, Shimble Shamble, and Sheperdess went a rattler for three quarters of a mile, followed by Merry Andrew. LEWES.—Our horses engaged at Epsom have most Of them been doing good work. In the City and Suburban we have the following :—Leases, Acaea, Ines, Lictor, and Choral. The first -named I have not seen out for some time, and I hear he is lame. The others I think very little of, as they have been put through the mill, and Actail beat the lot. Lictor has done scarcely any work for the last few days. In the Great Metropolitan we have Lictor and Black Diamond. In the Two Year Old Stakes, the first day, we have Artist, Workman ' and Woful, and I think W or k man i s t h e best, but he, by his late running, is very moderate. In the New Two Year Old Stakes Sotlinks and Winchelsea are in, and the first-named has been doilg some good work, but, I think, he is not big enough to carry the weight. During a quarter cf a century llorniman's Teas have had an immense sale, and as they are now 8d per pound Cheaper, in consequence of the Reduced Duiy, the demand will doubtless be even further extended. Sold, secured in Packets; genuine are signed Rorniman and Co., London. _ • - - !Vittit E 1.1. 1) E g 'tirPr'7ol‘l TI . , X A '4.11- SUN OFFICE, 6 o'CLocK. SPORTING fELLIGENCE.
