Thirsk Handicap King of the Fairies. champion of the blue and yellow, Suffolk, Vho was made a hot favourite for the anxiously-looked for Biennial, in the face of what had been said as to the relative merits of the two. So ridiculous did the idea of his inferiority appear, the talent would have it their trial was all a mistake, and that Suf folk's public form might yet be the proper criterion of his merits. On the strength of this he had a very fair chance against The Earl and Blue Gown, especially as rumour had not favoured them of late, though it was easy to perceive he had wintered the worse of the three. The Gown's appearance was quite marvellous to those who had listened to the awful reports rife concerning him ever since the previous Saturday. Ilad the Earl not been a companion of Lady Elizabeth, he, too, would have tauched a much shorter price before the race was laid after, so much was he admired. Beyond the three, there was no candidate of any note in the field, what little improvement The Parson had shown on his overthrow of the soft Court Mantle being negatived by the brief interval allowed him for resting. Three of the remainder—Nelusko, Boanerges, and Stamford—belonging to- the un known division, and of these Nelusko made a better show than the Parson, running so well with the Earl for a long way as to give the Frenchman a pretty good idea of the capabilities of the Danebury second string, and also auguring that he will yet do a good thing on his own account. The repre sentatives of the two great Derby divisions, at the same time, got a capital line of each other; and if we are to believe that Silenus really beat The Earl in a recent spin Matthew Dawson has the measure of them both, so that the Marquis of Hastings, Sir Joseph Hawley, and the Duke of Newcastle have only to compare notes when the proper time arrives to reduce the Derby as nearly to a certainty as pos sible. Obstinate followers of public form would naturally give the Newmarket stable the preference now, owing to race having beating The Earl and Blue Gown last Doncaster, when he was palpably be low the mark, and to Speculum's surprising "paper" superiority to Moslem ; but the long odds to be had about the sons of Young Melbourne and Bas Bleu plainly signify that Lady Elizabeth, with Rosi crucian or Green Sleeve, must be immeasurably their superiors, and certainly nothing decisive can be arrived at by " outsiders," pending the Two and One Thousand, as to which the three gentlemen above-named possesses the best of this season's flying three year olds. That the Earl and Blue Gown are defunct for the Derby has long been in dicated by the market, for it has not been a case of laying one day and backing the next on the part of the rulers of the price current, but a steady, per sistent opposition that even " public money" cannot check. Pace, on the contrary, has always had plenty of friends to come to his rescue, and they have their confidence in his being the best strengthened not only by a trial wherein he is stated to have come off victo rious, but by the opposition that broke out against Speculum because he did not beat a filly of Lard Glasgow's in his race on Thursday in a style to please the critics. What more they could want than an easy victory it is hard to guess, and, besides, the dark filly was receiving no less than 201 b. ; nevertheless, there is the fact that Pace is now quite as good a favourite, for all his shirk ing the easy task that was before him yesterday, and it must be admitted theson of Caterer and Lady Trespass goes very like a Hermit in the market just now. The race he missed, fortunately, was not devoid of interest, as it brought out a ver y use f u l member Of Lord Glasgow's nameless crew, whose success, coupled with the form shown by some of his companions at the meeting, caused renewed atten tion to be directed to the representatives of the crimson and white. He is not in the Two Thousand ' but a better horse may be found in the string when they are put together—a proceeding that will be taken very shortly, we believe—and it is on the cards that Lord Glasgow will cut in for all the great three year old races of the year. (From the Sporting Gazette.) I believe if the Two Thousand is destined to fall to a Newmarket trained horse—that the winner will be Pace, though wherever he finishes, Vale Royal is bound to be. Le Sarrazin, it was generally re ported, won his trial with N6lusko, Ouragan, and Montagnard, since which his name has appeared in the quotations at lessening figures ; and as they also back him for the " Blue Riband," it is to be sup posed his spin was quite satisfactory to Count Lagrange's astute trainer. The meetings for next week aro Lewes Spring, Thirsk, and Croydon, the programmes issued for which give promise of some good racing. Tuesday and Wednesday are the days appointed for the reunion on the beautiful south downs, a visit to which, now that the weather has got mild, will be most enjoyable. Five of the races on the list for Tuesday are closed, the most important of which is £the Craven Handicap, which is run on the T.Y.C. Twenty-seven horses have been weighted for it, of whom I consider CHIVALRY, 3 yrs, 7st Mb; LICTOR, 3 yrs, 7st 21b ; and SUGARSTICK, 3 yrs, 6st, to be the best in. In the Two Year Old Plate seventeen youngsters are engaged, with a probability of its falling to ELECTRICITY. For the Town Plate thirty-three horses have been weighted, of Whom GOODFELLOW and CRO3I - appear to me to have a good chance. For the Welter Cup twenty-three horses have been handicapped, of whom I prefer the chances of FEODOR and DOURO. For the Lewes Spring Handicap thirty-one hones have been weight e d, the grea t er num ber are en gaged on the first day, consequently a great deal will depend on their previous performances. POW DERRAM, 6 yrs, 7st 41b ; HOP LEAF, 5 yrs, 7st 41b ; and CHORAL, 3 yrs, Est, I consider to have an ex cellent chance. The programme for Thirsk, like that of Catte rick Bridge, shows such a marked improvement, compared with those issued for the last three or four years, that racing is evidently becoming more popular than ever in the North Riding of York shire. The list for Tuesday extends to five races, four of which are already closed—viz., the Mow bray Stakes, the Hambleton Plate, the Sowerby Plate, and the Hunt Cup. Twelve horses have been nominated for the Mowbray Stakes, nearly all of whom are " dark," For the llambleton Plate forty horses have been weighted to run a mile, which is a distance so suited to CZAR, 5 yrs, Bst ; VULCAN, 4 yrs, Gst 101 b ; QUALITY, 3 yrs, 6st 101 b ; and EVELINA, 3 yrs, 6st 51b, that I fancy the winner is among them. In the Sowerby Plate twenty-two hor ses are en gaged, of whom SICYSAIL,. 4 yrs, Est 131 b, ought to win. The Hunt Cup, in which fourteen horses are en gaged, looks a ro d thing for SCAR RINGTON. On the second day there are thirty-five horses nominated for the Thirsk Handicap, to run one mile and three-quarters. The three horses I con sider best in are KING OF THE FAIRIES, 4 yrs, 7st 71b ; Frolicsome, 3 yrs, 6st 21b ; and Evelina, 3 yrs, 6st 21b ; and I give the preference to the former. The Silver Cup will fall to SCARRINGTON or HELEN; but respecting the Falcon Plate I can give no opinions, as the issue is entirely dependent on the running of the first day. RACE MEETINGS. — T h e Hoboken Spring Meeting is to be held on the 2Gth, 27th, and 29th May. Tho asso ciation has provided for the races during the three days, and to these in purses and money, added to stakes, there will be contributed by the club $1,600. The post stakes will close on the Ist May. The race meeting , in Narra gansett Park, Rhode Island, is fixed for July next. There will be three races each day, and the money to be given in purses and additions to stakes will amount to $6,900. The Handicap, the Hopeful Stakes, and the Rhode Island Cup will close on the Ist of June. Wilkes's Spirit says :—" In our last number we called the attention of the American Jockey Club to the prcbablo consequences of the penalties to be imposed on winners in the Grand National Stakes, to be run for on the last day of the summer meeting at Jerome Park. The Club has re-considered the matter and made a material alters tiju in the conditions of the stake. There is to be no penalty for previous winnings, and the second horse is to receive $2OO out of the stake. We call the attention of the western and southern stables to this fact. The race will be one of the greatest of the year, and we sup pose that all the great aspirants who can run fast and stay a distance will appear in it." TRAINING REPORTS. KINGSCLERE.—Thursday. Xi led Vagabond, King Co phetua, Pero Gomez, Nyl Gan, and Sister to Rosicrucian a steady gallop of a mile. 'Satyr galloped by himself two miles. The Palmer piloteil Rosicrucian and Green Sleeve in a three-parts speed gallop of nearly two miles. Wolsey, Cotytto, Fakir, and Adosie.da galloped the same distance. Friday.— The Palmer led Rosicrucian and Green Sleeve two canters of a mile. Xi led Vagabond, King Cophetua, Pero Gomez, Nyl Gau, and Sister to Rosierucian a aice half-speed gallop of nearly - a mile. Wolsey led The Palmer, Rosicrucian, and Green Sleeve a good gallop of a mile and three-quarters, all pulling up sound and well. Blue Gown, Siderolite, and Va;bala,thus took things easy. Rosi crucian is getting into fiuo form, but, of course, is not so fit as Green Sleeve. I have a great liking for this filly, but whichever Sir Joseph Hawley asks for the Two Thousand will be very hard to dispose of. NEWMARKET, Wednesday.—Courtmantle, Tregeagle, and Kingsley cantered together. The Pope and Brother to Claverhouso did some useful work. Roquefort, was sent to lead Vale Royal a gallop, and when about half the distance was got over he again ruptured a blood vsssel, and bled profusely. Vale Royal went on by himself, being full of go. King Charming led Typhoeus a good gallop of nearly a mile and a half, and towards the finish, when out of my sight, Typhoeus, it appears, pulled up lame. lam sorry for this, on account of his owner, who is a thorough sportsman, and has hereby lost a great chance of winning the Two Thousand. Capitaine, Le Sarraziu, and Mercure each went a steady gallop ; also the two yr olds, Curiouse being the most prominent among them. Trocadero led Dragon two miles at a good pace. Hermit was sent quite two miles by himself. Target and Blinkhoolie did a useful gallop. St. Ronan went about a mile, at a pretty fair speed. Armourer, Beauty, Kettlehol,ler, and Goodwood galloped a mile and a half. Python only cantered steadily. Qui Vivo, Whitby, Claymore, and Grimston galloped a mile. Pirate Chief led Fripounier a real good gallop. Ilippia, Jasper, King Alfred, and Restitution did about the same as ou the previous day. Demonstration, Stephen Langton, and Handsome Jack galloped. Havelock and Minuet did seine good work, looking and going well. These have made considerable improvement under the charge of their young trainer. Pericles, Honesty, Pace, and Speculum were sent a good gallop, Daley being on Face. Gomera led Miss Havelock two miles. Julius travelled the same distance by himself. Thursday-- -Born bastes led Speculum and Julius a mile on the Limokilns. Bombastes only came here one night this week. Pace only had two steady canters. Vale Royal took a nice gallop on the tan, and then went about a mile and a half on the Limekilns, going strong and well. Le Sarrazin was tried early this morning, but that is all I can tell you, except that Nelusko was put through the mill with him. STOCKBRIDGE, Thursday. —Mr. Briggs and Lady Raglan went a steady wallop of about a mile. Logarithm led Lady Elizabeth a mile and a quarter ate good speed all the way , the crack going beautifully. Friday —1 he: Daneb ur y horses only had two brisk canters of a mile. Athena led Lady Elizabeth each time. Tom Day's, after cantering once, were galloped as follows :—Regalia led Lady Raglan smartly a mile and a half. Mr. Briggs led the Blackbird colt a mile. The two year olds were going well. I was very well pleased to see that all our horses performed very respectably at Newmarket, although all did not win, Though the Earl pulled through in the Biennial ho has no earthly chance for the Derby while the mare keeps well. Lady Vane and Minster MIDDLEILAM, Wedues-rty.— Bell had a two-tulle gallop. Lady Vane fell about 300 yards from tho finish, broke her thigh, and had to be de stroyed. Thursday.—Palisade, Viscountess colt, and Affection went a rattling gallop of two miles, all going lir,t-class. Pretty John and Weather Star galloped steadily. Dawson sent his lot the mile gallop three times, as did Fobert with his team. Our Chester Cup and Great Northern horses are all lockingand going remarkably well. The Czar or Sister to Little Agnes ought to win the Thirsk Handicap, and whichever Dawson rues fur the Hambledon Plate (King of the Fairies) will win ; not doing much work of late, but he does not require a great deal. Honesty will be our best for the Sowerby Plate, and Glenavon for the Mowbray Stakes. LEwEs.—At Easbourne, we have engaged in the Handl.- t c h a p i s B m e u l l r o n i o u f Kg( (Fri ars, who day); is b ryuvt,eas she ve has , and s three did a other h nice gallop engage ments, I cannot possibly say which she may run for. Tradesmen's Plate.—Miss Elizabeth and Belle of l iars are engaged. Miss Elizabeth is looking very well, but she has been a very indifferent performer. The same pair aro also in the Innkeepers' Plate, but I think neither of them in the utl,l3nitungySuppitturivann,dneßiteialleer o li f ke l i s a j r u s ul a p re_ . eH enoughud Hurdle to win. ing. For our own Spring Meeting we have several doing good work. Town Plate.—Sweet Boy, Tom Vernon, Belle of liars, Festival, and Wotul are in , and if an y o f the m has a chance it is Festival. Welter Cup. — Leases , I think, will be found our best, but he has too much weight on to please me. Craven Handicap. —Lictor, Choral, Tom Ver non, and Needlework are entered, au I Lictor is much the best, but in my opinion he is waiting for something better. EPSO3I.-0a Wednesday, Sherwood gave the following some capital work :—Marquis of Worcester, Thorudyke, Brown Jug, Sea Serpent, Bonnie Katie, and Vanbrugh. Armstrong sent Aurifera, Tott, Diophautus filly, and Spider rattling along at a rare pace. Nightiugall and Reeves were busy with their respective strings. Skirmish led the Dundee colt a good striding gallop of a mile and a half, and Columbine, Berserker, Ampleforth, and Lady Pam took several nice canters. Thursday. —Reeves gal loped Onyx, Antias, Electricity, Nanny Thormanby, Juanita, Kismet, and Queen Ebba a mile, and Lord Derby led Thornicroft a mile and a half at a good pace. Foxholes, Carnage, Premier, Fawn, and Bannockburn all went a good gallop of a mile and a half. I noticed the following of Hughes's lot returning from Leathorliead, all looking as if they had been doing good work :—Ackworth, Planet, Professor Anderson, Am bitious, Powderham, Macduff, Young Rapid, colt by M. Phillippe, Melinda, and the Mentniore filly. G. Simpson was busy with Breach of Promise, Red Star, Little Tommy, Blondin, and Bay Rosalind colt. Friday.—Ailes bury, Warlike, Redivivus, Merry Andrew, Uncas, Cecil, Pocket Hercules, Ulan, Owen Roo, Elector, Mulgrave, Shepherdess, and Shimble Shamble, after several canters, went twice up to the old Mile-post. Aurifera and Spider went a good gallop of a mile and a half. Skirmish and Dundee colt were sent a nice gallop. Beeswing is still an absentee, and as the Chester Cup day is getting so near, I fear ber chance is extinguished. MALTON.—Our horses doing good work on Tuesday wore Camillo, the Buccaneer filly, Mother Noasham, Di Spanker, Agrippa, the Vedette filly, Blacklock, Fecialis, Royal Oak, My Lord, Raby Whip, Thankful, Kentish Fire, The Clipper, Merry and Wise, Tolson d'Or, and Betrayal. Wednesday—Westwick, Viscount, War, Taraban, Zapolya, Fecialis, My Lord, Royal Oak, Raby Whip, Thunder, and Betrayal were being sent along. Thursday—Flash Emma, The Cure colt, and Consternation took a couple of brisk canters. The first named is a good-looking mare, and has been on a visit to Cramond. Betrayal had a three-parts speed gallop of a mile and a half. Camillo led Buccaneer filly and Agrippa a rasping gallop of a mile. Tke Vedette filly took a similar spin by herself. Mother Neas'.iam and Di Spanker galloped at a moderate pace. Blacklock had a couple of gallops of a mile, and no horse can be doing better than this one. George Osbaldeston, Malta, and Lady Zetland were doing work on private ground ; they are looking remarkably well. Traitress, Mountain Maid, and Punster are engaged at York, and they have been doing three and four-mile gallops daily. The last-named has much improved since he last ran. The following will leave here on Tuesday morning for their Thirsk engagements :—Camillo, Mother Neasham, Malta, and Zapolya, while War is expected to go. The above have undergone a strong preparation, and are fit to run. RicumoND.—On Wednesday El Cid had a steady gallop of two miles. Geant des Batailles, Hermosa, Brantingham, Brennus, Valtz, and Felucca cantered smartly. Moldavia, followed at a distance by Stella, went the long gallop. Ca prera galloped a mile steadily, and the Vedette filly went two miles at half-speed. Polecat, Sorcerer, Gleaner, Ashbank, Rel Tub, Carnerino colt, Sweet Annie, Sleeping Maggie, An nie, and Ladas did good work. Lord Ronald led Chelsea, Virtue, and Buttercup a steady gallop of a mile and three quarters. Circe, Retort, and Sawyer were walking ; the latter, however, previously took a gentle canter. Lord Bothwell, Evelina, Hector, Quality, Ramada, Plaudit, Dryad, Dutchman's Daughter filly, Mafir, and Tho Hind did some good work. Mysotis and Dutch Admiral gal loped a mile steadily. Strathoonan and Scotchman's Pride were piloted in a good two-mile gallop by Wee-Wee Flower. T hursday—S trathconan, 6 cotch man's Pride, and Wee-Wee Flower did the same amount of work as on the previous day. Mysotis galloped. Moldavia, Stella, Ca prera, Sorcerer, Rol Tub, Ashbank, and the Vedette filly wore sent a nice gallop. Lord Ronald, Chelsea, Virtue, Buttercup, and Raunds had a rattling good gallop, all going well. Raunds then led Plaudit two miles at a steady pace. FINDON. —lt is gratifying to see a good animal in our stable once more in the little daughter of Nutbourno and Miss Vivian, and I think when the autumn brings out Tasman, Martinique, and somo more, we shall show the public another or two. Next week a few of our horses will be sent to Lewes. In the Town Plato we have Helder and Miss Martha. Both have done plenty of work and are fit. Chester Cup•-Romping Girl and Sister to Vedette aro away, but the others engaged are going on well. No horse could look or go better than Owain Glyn dwr. It is Sir Richard Bulkeloy's intention to run his horse at Newmarket on the Wednesday of the First Spring Meeting, and ho is a certain runner also for the prize on the Rhodee, and the public may rest assured that they will get an honest and straight run for their money. Thalia has again started work, but she has only been sent a mile, and I am sorry to say her temper is not so good as it used to be. Nekton seems to bo a good steady horse, and con tinues to improve daily, some day or other ho will win a good race. I think that he is especially suited to a flat course. Of all the horses we have hero, I see none that has improved more than Madrid, and although I can only consider him to bo second class, yet there is no saying what situation a gcpod sound horse might fight himself into. ILSLEY, Wednesday. —After two half-mile canters Dalby led Viridis another a little over a mile. Hammerton, Sala manca, Canard, and Finesse wont a mile and a half. Thursday.—Dalby and Viridis had their usual canters and a gallop of about a mile, going remarkably well. Although these two Chester Cup horses are not doing very strong work, they are in fine condition, and will be quite fit by the day. Orion, Ironmaster, and Landscape are doing well for their coming engagements. Vampire, Yardarm, Chivalry, and the colt by Wild Dayrell out of Phenay are in the Lewes Spring Handicap, and I like the last named the best at the weights. 11 , 3 is very well, and goes in good form. Town Plate.— Dawdle, Tumbler, Goodfellow, Lady Clinton,. Chivalry, Proctor, Canard, and Arkadi are all well, and whichever Mr. Bannett runs will be bad to beat. Welter Cup..—Feodor is well, but has not dine much work of late. Goodfellow will win the Craven Handicap if wanted. STANTON, Wednesday. —See-Saw only cantered. Rude, Orne, and Attack colt went a two miles and a half gallop. The Returned, Jeanie Deans, Lady Highthorn, Souve nance, Fidelia, Batonnier, Balk colt, and the Morella filly went a mile and a half at full speed. Sk-ter to Albrighton galloped the same distance. Salliet, Parma, Jove, Miss Agnes filly, Tarquin, Palmitiae, and Abyssinia galloped a mile. Thursday—RuHc, See-Saw, and Lady Highthorn galloped two miles, the last-named going well. Christmas Carol, Sportsman, Jezabel, and Grey Stocking were only walking. HEDNESFORD.-Our trainers having been at Lichfield very little has been doing here sinca my last report. Our Corby pony, Uncas, is doing wonderfully wolf, and is as sound as a roach. He will take his own part amongst all the big-'uns. Of the others trained here lam very partial to Kidderminster, whp is a very compact horse, and is in splendid fettle. LAmnouuNE.—Since my last report Knight has been sending along Lady Rosohill, Child of the Islands, Patri cian, Curfew 8011, Kingsland, and some two year olds. In Bates's lot, Prince George, Grand Duke, Musa, and the youngsters have done well. Wetherell has been busy with Rhine Wine, Lady Diana, The Don, Spitfire, Singapore, and The Duke of Beaufort. Smith has been looking well to Mexico, who I see is engaged at Manchester on Satur day, but I don't think he will run there, but go to Lewes in preference, where he has two engagements. He is very well, and his form.your readers saw at West Drayton. Patrician and Musa are also entered at Lewes, and 1 should say Patrician is the best in for the Craven Handicap. CHILTOIC—Very little took plsce on Wednesday, the horses doing most work being Virginia Creeper, Second hand, Alberta, Triana, Woodman, Chateau, Margeaux, St. Agnes, M.A., The Scout, Country Bumpkin, Congratula tor, Pelisse, and the Muscovite colt. Lilac and Precocious have been stopped in their work, but for what reasons I cannot tell, as both were doing as well as any horses could do. They are engaged at Lewes, whore we have a lot more entered. Thursday—Country Bumpkin, St. Agnes, The Scout, and the Muscovite colt galloped about three quarters of a mile. Virginia Creeper went a mile and a half at a good pace. Secondhand joined in to lead her the last three quarters, and no horse could go better than the " Creeper." Her, form at Bromley was all moonshine. Alberta led St. Agnes, and the Muscovite colt went about half a mile. M.A. led the following two half-mile gallops: —Hazlewood, Congratulator, Pelisse, and another. Actrea is being led about in the paddock, but nothing is amiss with her that I can see. Ottoman, after winning the Subscription Plate at New market, was claimed by Mr. Woolcott, who subsequently resold him to Mr. Bromsgrove. Bedlainite, winner of the Handle ip Saili ng Ch ase at Kingsbury, was sold to Mr. Toyabao for 115 guineas. Mr. Alwyn's horses, Knight of Down° and Heather BA, have not changed hands. Thoyhave merely changed stables, having loft Brighton for Pitt-place, Epsom. AUTUMN STEEPLE CHASE FIXTURES.—The next meet ing at Streatham has been fixed for October 9 and 10 ; and Croydon will take place, as usual, on November 24 and two following days. ACCIDENT TO MR. S. J. WELFITT.— We regret to state that Mr. Welfitt, while witnessing th 3 races at Tamworth on Monday last, was knocked down by, one of the horses in the race; whereby three of Isis ribs were fractured. HARPENDEN RACE COURSE.—Much-nooded improve ments have been effected recently at the turn into the stm;Blst by taking in an additional sweep of ground, thus making the turn and the course generally quite unob jectionable. Look Out, after performing badly in the Selling Race at Kingsbury on Monday, changed hands for 13g-s, and he was re named Blue Post prior to running in a similar event on the second day. Comet, who dislocated his nock at Kingsbury on Mon day, had been purchased for 10 gs only a few minutes prior to the race by 11. Ellison, in wh .M 3 colours the ill fated animal ran. The Van Galen colt, after winning at Catterick on Friday, was named Fleet. _ _ . , The assumed name of Mr. George Reginald has been registered. Stagsbaw Bank (Rexhain) Races are announced for April 22. Lord Westmorland has given The Star to James Goater. Daublane, by Dundee, obtained the first priza of .£ 10 at the entire horse show held at C trelarthan, on Weluesday last, for the best thorough bred stallions for getting bun ters, given by Valentine Davis, Esq., and exhibited by Mr. J. E. Rees, Berthl•.vyd, Pembrokeshire. THE LATE EAST SOMERSET HUNT STEEPLECHASE.—III answer to numerous inquiries respecting the bets on this event, we have to state that as Woodbury Hill was dis qualified for not carrying the extra weight assigned to pro fessional riders, parties must pay on Moose, to whom the race has been awarded. MEATH HUNT AND NAVAN RACES.—Those it may con cern are reminded that entries for the Meath Hunt and Bellinter Cup must be made on or before the 25th inst. Other events close on May-day. BROMYARD RACES.—W O are requested to remind patrons of this spirited meeting that the Herefordshire Stakes (Handicap) and the Cup close on Thursday next to the Messrs. Weatherby or Mr. Philpott, the hon. secretary, on the spot. MARKETS—(This Day.) SPURTING OPINIONS. (Front Bell's Life.) A genuine old-established Craven Meeting has just been held, forcibly reminding one of the days when Newmarket was select, and half-a-dozen spirited contests in the course of a week were deemed satisfactory. Even on the " grand" day there was an absence of anything like a mob ; and, further, the sensations incidental to the doings of the pencil were of the mildest kind, notwithstanding trials were coming off morn, noon, and night iu such quick succession as to quite bewilder even pro fessional horse-watchers. But for the misfortune that befel poor Typhoeus the market changes would not have been of vast import, the movement con cerning the remaining cracks iu the Two Thousand and Derby simply tending to strengthen their positions in nearly every case, for it happened that those located at Newmarket we did not see perform in public were generally liked by the legion of amateur touts each morning. Pace's appearance and going quite astonished many who had been led to believe, from the long odds laid against him for both races, that he was as " dead" as is Typhoeus, and who had heard all sorts of depressing stories to account for his downfall. Newmarket men, how ever, seem to have agreed to differ over him, and it is still insisted in some quarters he is a roarer. His " dark" stable companion, Harvester, is quite deserted, the general idea being that he is " not good enough." Vale Royal, like Pace, has his de tractors as well as admirers, though it is universally admitted that he possess a wonderful turn of speed, and that, if he can only stay the Rowley Mile, his party's fondness will be rewarded by his at least ob taining one of the coveted placesin the Two Thousand contest, if he is not absolutely Al. The only other three year old " celebrities" at Newmarket we did not see perform in public are St. Ronan, Le Sar razin, and Rabican, the former of whom was with drawn from the Biennial for the sake, it is under stood, of the more important affair next Tuesday week, but is still an outsider, and will ever remain so unless he has been made two stone better than he was last autumn, a dream his make and shape do not allow the most enthusiastic followers of the Hermit rose to indulge in. The forward running of Nelusko in the Biennial, with the victory of Montagnard, could not revive the fallen fortunes of Rabican, Le Sarrazin being introduced in his stead, on the strength of a good trial with the first-named. Had all three run for the opening spin some amends would have been made for the shortcomings by the meeting of Knight of the Garter and Lady Coventry ; but such a treat was not in store for the critics, as there was no intention of running the two, despite the mistake committ e d i n h o i s ti ng b o th mustn this still be year's left to greatguesswork gunsp how much b e t r e h e , r a e n i d s b it et m w Specu lum, and the cream of last season's two-year-olds. Had the Knight and the Lady met, a pretty reli able line in this direction must have been obtained, seeing the Knight was conceding Speculum 311 b. in the City and Suburban, and would here give 321 b to Lady Coventry, who in the Middle Park Plate was some 101 b. inferior to Lady Elizabeth, Rosicru cian, Formosa, and Green Sleeve. The Speculum party could make little out of the triumph in the Free Handicap of their trial horse, Silenus, so wretchedly bad were the lot he defeated ; neverthe less it was gratifying in more ways than one that he did win ; and the followers of the hoops have every reason to be pleased likewise with the result of the contest between the vaunted Restitution and Moslem justafterwards. After the freshly-christened brother to Knight of the Crescent's form at Epsom and Northampton, which made him out all two stone worse than Speculum and a stone behind Ironmaster, it appeared a certainty that a horse capable of run ning a good third to the former and Le Sarrazin in the Woodcote, and that had beaten Suffolk withal in a trial, could dispose of him without much trouble; and even those not over-sweet on the Baron's colours scarcely entertained the idea of Restitution's upset, all they could urge being that if he did not win very easily he was not " in" the Guineas or Derby. Hence the defeat was a real surprise, and Moslem betrayed so much improvement in condition that his recent disgraces were freely forgiven, the critics voting him a real good " rough outsider" for the Two Thousand. The Fyfield followers backed him for that race at the long prices, and were quite cook-a-hoop at the Derby prospects of the filly Franchise, whose upsetting all the cracks that run for the One Thousand is not looked upon as a very remote probability now. Restitution, as a matter of course, returns to the region of obscurity, accompanied by another whilom .~. ~ ::~~ .4y., COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. The colonial and foreign produce trades have a quieter tone, but without any general change in the tendency of prices, cotton being almost the only article exhibiting de pression. During the week the imports of several kinds o f produce have sensibly increased; and as these will shortly furnish a better and more ample choice, dealers withhold their operations as far as it is practicable to secure the advantage of choice which will thus be afforded. For the ensuing week, however, the supplies declared for disposal are only moderate, excepting of cocoa, the imports of which are being brought forward somewhat largely. The business of the week, although interrupted by the Easter holidays, sums up a fair aggre gate, and shows an advance of 6d to 9d in sugar ; firm rates for coloury coffee ; a slight decline for infe rior. Stationary rates for rice, spices, and saltpetre, hemp, jute, and all dye goods, except Dutch, which is 2s Gd per cwt. lower, and cochineal, which is a partial ld per pound dearer. The changes in oils are a rise of Gd in linseed, Gd to is in rapeseed, and a decline of £2 to £3 in the quotation of sperm. Metals range from general, and copper is £2 per ton higher. HAY AND STRAW. Supplies of hay stuffs at Smithfield and Whitechapel this morning were:only moderate and trade good, with firm prices. Meadow hay, 60s to 86s ; clover, 55s to 1000 ; straw, 30s to 36s per load.

Nottingham July Southampton Goodwood WHAT IS PERSONAL LUGGAG.3I At the Derby County Court on Monday, before George Russell, Esq., Judge, a cause was tried, which, his honour said, raised a question of great importance both to railway passengers and railway companies. The plaintiff, Henry Hudston, is a stock and sharebroker at Nottingham, and he brought an action against the Midland Railway Company to recover £2 4s. 61, on the 11th March, 186 E to amount paid under protest to the Mid land Railway Company at King's-cross Railway Station, London, carriage from London to Bees ton, near Nottingham, of a personal toy called a spring horse, weighing 781 b., which they wrongfully charged as merchandise, he being a first-class passenger, and entitled to 1121 b. of luggage, 2s. 6d. He also claimed for detention from 3.0 p.m. to 5.35 p.m. at King's-cross, expenses and business loss, by being prevented getting to Not tingham to answer his letters that day, £2 2s. Plaintiff conducted his own case, and Mr. Huish, barrister, appeared for the company. Plaintiff said onlOthMarch last he took a first-class return ticket from Beeston, near Nottingham, to King's-cross. He had no luggage on going to London, but whilst there he bought a toy, which in the trade is called a spring horse (but not a " rocking " horse), and gave instructions for it to be sent to King's-cross station, as he had to leave by the 3.0 p.m. train. The toy arrived at the station in time, but a Midland porter told him it would not be allowed to be ford warded without a special payment for it. He told them that he had no luggage, and that it was the only article he had, and that as a first-class passenger he was entitled to carry 1121 b. weight of luggage. The toy weighed 781 b. He asked them upon what prin ciple they made the charge, and they replied that it was not luggage, but merchandise. He told them it was not merchandise in his hands, as he was a stock and sharebroker, and he had bought it as a toy. They persisted in making a charge for car riage, and he paid the 2s. 6d. under protest. His Honour—lt is simply a question what is and what is not personal luggage. Mr. Huish—Mr. Hudson, you don't mean to say that the toy was a matter of personal necessity? Plaintiff—l consider it was personal luggage. It was carried for the use of my family. Mr. Huish contended that the toy—rocking horse—was not an article within the meaning of the words " personal luggage." His Honour asked what was the size of the " rocking horse." Plaintiff replied that it was not a " rock ing horse," but a small horse that moved on a spring on a flat surface. He purchased it because it was a novelty. His Honour said the question raised—what is personal luggage ?—was one of very great importance to travellers. He should, therefore, go very carefully through the authorities quoted, and give his decision at the next court day. It was quite evident that the company must draw a line somewhere, and the question was—where ought it to be drawn ? There appeared to be a great analogy between a perambulator and a.spring toy, but the former certainly appeared to ggage.

It is said, however, that the opposing party will produce negative evidence, on which they place so much reliance that they expect to upset the testimony of nearly one hundred persons who have identified the claimant. We apprehend this negative evidence is something of the character of Pat, who, when he was accused of having committed a theft, and told that two persons could be produced who had seen him in the act,responded that he could bring twenty persons who had not seen him.—Land and Water. re int Ia- tise 7 tly ter. ay. res, for aer- lOW car 70pS Ices bur- l'Oni pro- Ply- :apt• nada dock sted ;ord at of ranee ho tin weeks ~-,-.-
