there were six runners, the moat fancied of the lot 1 eing
the "pot" of the Ascot Stakes, the colt by Vedette—
Vixen, and Lord Glasgow's Miss Whip colt. The race was
never in doubt, as the Vixen colt waited on his opponents
until fairly within the straight, when he came away and
cantered in by four lengths. The Priest, who was colonred,
on the card, was backed fora lot of money at the lists in
the morning, but he did not run. The Fourth New Bien-
nial Stakes followed, but produced only three runners
against eight last year, when it was won by Sunnylocks,
Marksman being defeated • couple of lengths. Lord Lyon,
who was Galled upon to concede a year and thirty-two
pounds to Wild Moor, who ran fourth in the Derby,
was made the favourite as • matter of course,
but the odds laid on " the lord " were not
extravagant, amounting only to 2 to 1. A woful
exhibition he made of the Duke of Hamilton's colt and
Harpenden, the race merely serving as an exercise gallop
for the hero of the "triple crown." Harpenden was
beaten off. Seven of the eight coloured for the Fifth
Biennial Stakes went to the post, the absentee being
Michael de Basso. See-Sew, who ran Ceolope a close race
on Tuesday, was elected favourite, the next in demand
being Formosa and Bismarck. The result was • rare tarn
op for the backers of Kenyon's mounts, as Lord Falmouth'sl
Tregeagle made all the running and won easily, See-Saw'
being second, and Bismarck next. This surprise was fol-
lowed by the race of the day, the Gold Cup, in which as
much interest was centred as on any previous occasion, not
excepting the memorable year when Ely and General Peel
ran • dead heat. The runners included three winners of
the Oaks in three eseseesime years—Regalia, Tormentor,
and Hippia—the Cesarewitch winner, and several other
celebrities, including Mr. Chaplin's recent purchase
Rama, Julius, Opoponax, and Montgoubert. In
all there were ten runners, against three last
year, when Gladiateur ran away from Regalia
and Breadalbane. Hippie was the favourite, at 5 tot;
but the commission sent out in favour of Lecturer brought
the Marquis of Hastings's horse close on the heels of the
Oaks elates's, ash." left of at 11 to 4. Rama, who seemed
to have improved much since he was purchased to " lead"
Hermit in his work, was also backed at .5 to 1, while
Regalia at 100 to 15 and Opoponax at 10 to I had friends.
The let were saddled in good time, and paraded in the
paddock for the inspection of the royal party, who seemed
to take • lively interest in the competitors as they were
being led about by their respective trainers. Julius wore
the Duke of Newcastle's right colours •, but Cannon, es
John Davis, carried the red cap to distinguish him from
Lecturer. Rams, with Costume in the saddle, was the
first to show on the course, Lecturer and Fordhaat next,
and Hippie last. No inc,dent occurred in the canter, sad
without delay the lot were despatched. John Davis, the
moment the Mu was lowered, carrying out the object for
which he was started, took up the running, improving
the pace after rounding the hotel turn. The race
in its varying changes is fully described below.
and it is sufficient here to say that when they reached
the straight a most interesting and exciting race coin-
menced. Rama was next the rails, but Hippie, held •
slight advantage of Mr. Chaplin's colt, Lecturer, and Re-1
galia but the quartette were nearly breast. Rama was
the lint beaten, and Regalia, in the centre of the course,
took up the running, and had • very formidable appear-
ance, and, indeed, shouts were raised proclaiming her
victory, when suddenly Fordham was seen to make one
of his famous rushes on Lecturer, and the game son of
Coleterdale, answering the call of the popular jockey in the
most resolute manner, won by a length and • half, amid
tremendous cheering ; and on returning to scale both horse
and rider received an ovation, the "heeler Cesarewitch
winner being surrounded by a large crowd eager to catch
• glimpse of the " pony." Regalia, as last year, finished
second, and Hippie third. The victory of Lecturer ap-
peared to be peculiarly acceptable to the public, by whom
the forte nes of the marquis seem at the present moment to be
regarded with extraordinary interest, and everyone seemed
glad that the Denebury stable had landed a coup. The
Marquis of Hastings and the immediate followers of John
Day's stable throw in for a large stake. lady Elizabeth,
who bids fair to become the Achievement of the year, was
brought out against eleven runners for the New Stakes.
and she moored her sixth victory, without having sustained
a defeat, with ease. Rabicen, from Count Lagninge's
stable, was talked about; nothing was, however, in the race
but Lady Elizabeth, who won with such ease that Fordham
was nimble to pat her neck. Hermit was indulged with a
couple of antagonists for the St. James's Palace Stake*,
but be won in a canter by three lengths. The " talent"
laid odds on placing them, which feat they mown pliehed.
The members of the ring were so much occupied with the
day's sport that very little time was left for speculation on
future events. Hermit was, however, in considerable
request for the St. Leger, the short price of 2 to 1 being
accepted about him, while Lady Elizabeth, from the supe-
rior form she displayed, was elected first favourite for the
Der'sy, at 12 to 1. Details are appended

SIM= V. VullASHll2.—These two county elevens met yester-
day at the Oval, according to annual custom, sod both played
their full strength. The weather, contrasted with that of the
earlier portion of the week, was favourable ; indeed, up to now,
with the exception of the Colts' match, Surrey have been more
fortunate than Middlesex in this respect. Yorkshire won the toss
and elected to take first innings. They sent In Melons and
Timone whilst Surrey entrusted the bowling to Griffith and
Ilea:Meld. The former began with slows from the Pavilion end.

MEDICAL Dzoness.—Front the contents of a
document lately drawn up for the information of the
medical council it appears that there are no less than fifty-
three British degrees, fellowships, memberships, and
licenses to be obtained from medical examining bodies,
which may be registered under the Medical Act. Much,
of course, may be said for this state of things ; variety is
charming, competition is healthy, and toleration is an
English virtue ; but certainly it would prove rather per-
plexing did the general public take any interest in the
grades and qualifications of the profession.--The Medical
