T. Alderoft's engagement to the Topgill stable having

The suggestion to run the Portland Plate at Doncaster on the
Thursday instead of on the St. Leger day has been adopted.
The substitution on Wednesday will be the Two Year Old
handicap. There will be eight races on Tuesday, seven
on
Wednesday', seven on Thursday, and eight on Friday.
41 match, the best of three courses, for £25 a side, was run on
Epsom Downs on Thursday, between Mr. A. Hood's Horse

shoe, by Bright Steel, and Mr. Bowyer 's Beadsman.
which was a short Horse-
shoe- won the first course ( one) very
deci-
sively. The second, which a, a very severe tri
~ was unde-
cided, the dogs running upwards of five miles, and both falling
exhausted. After an interval they were again put in the slips
and Horseshoe proved the victor of another long trial, at ei;e,
close of which both dogs were dead beaten.
Before starting for the Stand Plate, at Nottingham W •
arrior
Queen ran away with J. Grimshaw, and, after the race, she
again overpowered the boys efforts to stop her. On the-
went to the foot of the hill near the T. Y. C. post, when the
Queen came in contact with a cab that was crossing the
carriage-way, whereby she cut her neck so badly that it i
feared she will be tireless hereafter, whilst the force of
collision shot little Grimshaw over the rails and seveith3e
lacerated his foot in the fall, an injury, probably, it will taekli
him a long time to recover.

PIGEON SHOOTING.—There was a large
r, assemblageconsequence f ear r
its
s
rn at Hosey Wood grOunds, on Friday, j
being known that the Hon. Gilbert Heathcote and Colonel
Farquharson were to shoot for L5O a-side. The conditions
were eleven Vgeons each, 25 yards' rise, 11 or.. shot, double
guns, use of. both barrels, from five traps, placed five yards
apart. Mr. Hcatheote had two or three very unlucky birds,
which nearly got out of bounds, and the colonel was altogether
as unfortunate, having two birds fall dead just out of bounds.
The colonel missed his first, then killed four, missed the next,
killed the next two, missed the ninth, knocked over the tenth,
and lost •the last. Mr. Heatheote killed his first, missed the
second and third, and scored all the rest, thus winning by two
birds. Colonel Farquharson then shot a match for £2.5 a-side,
at 2.5 pigeons caeli, with Captain Aniiesly. The captain won,
killing 18 out of 23, the Colonel only securing 15 out of that
number. A sweepstakes at three birds ea:h followed, and re-
sulted in favour of Capt. Annesly beating Mr. Willoughby,
Him. G. Heatheote' and Capt. Sutton. Another followed at
30 yards' rise, four birds each, in which Capt. Annesly, Mr.
Cholmondley, lion. C. Heatheote, Mr. Willoughby, Hon. Dud-
ley Ward, and Mr. llarris were engaged, and was won by Mr.
Heathcote' after a tye with Captain Annesly and Mr. Harris,
which tye they shot off at three birds each. The Hon. Dudley
Ward and Capt.. Annesly then shot. a match at 6 birds each, 30
yards' rise, and Mr. Ward won, killing four to three.
Tut LIGHT-WEIGHT BILL.---In the course of some remarks
on the correspondence which has taken place-between Lord
Redesdale and Admiral Rous on the tendency of the above
bill, the editor of Ben's Life says :---" Apart from the preli-
minary objection we have urged against legislative interference
at all, the veriest tyro` in racing must admit the absurdity of
placing the minimum standard at 7st., and thus with anything
like a fair range of handicap (to say nothing of weight for age
races) inflicting upon the superior class of horses a crushing im-
post that in a civilised age and country humanity would con-
demn. It is going altogether to the other extreme. That some
alter a tion is needed in the existing license we readily admit, and
we will not attempt to gainsay that many abuses ha ce arisen on
the turf in consequence of the absurdly light system now in
vogue. But experience tells us that the proposed bill of Lord
Redesdale will not -remedy these abuses: Had he fixed his
inintunt standard at 3st. we should, beyond our general dis-
inclinat'on to foreign interference, have had nothing to urge
against it; but the very causes which now lead to ' grumbling
and dishonest proceedings' would find a more successful me-
dium for effective operation in the seven-stone proposition."
The editor, after thanking Lord Redesdale for his good
intentions and well-wishing towards the Turf, assures him
that what reform is needed in its government the Jockey Club
is perfectly competent to carry out; and adds, "When hts
lordship has withdrawn his present impracticable measure,
we have authority to state that Admiral Eons will bring for-
ward a proposition which has been some time deliberated, of
limiting the standard of handicapping to 3st at all meetings
under Jockey Club rule.
