Goodwood. The lest-named colt is not only meeting
Regalia upon tab worse terms than when he beat her the
other day, but the mare will run ninth better over the half

Ascot Cop defeat there is a good chance for her to

Alarm muss be taken care of whatever is hacked,
and both Lord Palnterston and Minute sun ran forward
in the Goodwood Nursery with only 71b less than they are

ing after. As Temente the club Biennials commend me
to Just.* rin preference to Trocadero fur the eighth, and
Speculum for the ninth, unless, of course. prior events
should put them out of court. In the Lewes programme
there are only three items ripe fur oliscuasion, all of these
having 2-yr-olds engaged in them. The Priory and Sussex
Staked are devoted to juveniles, and Speculum is in the
first-named, giving 12Ib to Hilton—the wont difficult part.
perhaps, of the task be will hare to perform. To represent
the Duke of Newcastle in Saturdays race there is nothing
better than Ninny, who is no doubt inferior to both
Banditti, and Seesaw, the latter of whom would not oppose
his brother Buccaneer at Goodwood. As they are backing
him fur the Derby, he many not be wanted at all next
week, and in that case Matthew Dawson, with Speculum
or Leooie, Mr. Chaplin with Veda, and Mr. Seidman
with Orion, will do the best battle in the County Cup,
against old Volunteer, who may hest all but Orion, haying
at Stamford, when second to Bismark. given hint only

THE SHOOTINGS OP PERTHSHIRE.

(From Um Scotsman.)

The shooting season opens on Monday week ;
but in consequence of the sad ravages made among grouse
by disease in the spring months, the prospects of sports-
men in many districts of Perthshire have not been so dis-
couraging for a long series of years. The distemper appears
to have been most destructive in the Blairgowrie and erieti
districts of the county, and has on numerous wore com•
pletely cleared the stock of grouse ; and in other places the
birds are so scarce that there will be no shooting this
season. In Rannoch and the north-west districts of
the shire, however, there is • fair stock of grouse,
and the young broods are rapidly improving in size
and condition with the recent tine warm weather ;
but complaints are pretty gentr.l in regard to
many broods being composed of small and late
birds, and it will be at least the end of August
before shooting can be commenced on several moors. In
the Crieff district alone there are about 80,0110 acres of
unlet shootings. In the month of March one proprietorrefused 01/0/. of rent for a small moor, and immediately
afterwards disease broke out, and licitly the grounds
would not let. Black game are abundant, and have suf-
fered little from disease compared with grouse. The
bronds,though much later than usual, are improving fast,
anti by the time the shooting opens will afford excellent
sport. Plover, snipe, &e., are plentiful, and the birds
apptar strong, healthy, and in tine condition. All
descriptions of low country game are swarming, and
more especially partridges, hares, wild-duck, roe-deer ;
and if there be a deficiency of sport on the hills thie
season. the prospects of spotsmen in the low country
have seldom been so encouraging. In the preserves,
pheasants are numerous ; the young broods, which number:-
from ten to fourteen bird, each, are large and well grown.
In the Blackmount, Glenartney, and Turlem (omits, the
herds of deer are nnmerons, and the animals have seldom
at thi+ season been seen in such Due condition. There are
already to be seen numerous stage with splendid heads.
Previous to the breaking out of disease among grouse, the
greater part of the Perthshire moors were let to tenants,
end in many instances rat nearly double the former rents ;
but we underztand that many of the proprietors have re-
lieved tenants of their leases, for if shooting on trimly
11101.1114 is to be prosecuted or persevered in this season, the
whole stock of grouse will be extinguished.
CA ITIINENS-s;:li:E.—We are gliol.p learn that there are
good prospects for sportsmen on the It:th in this ..ounty.
The keepers have seen no symptoms of disease, sad report
the birds plentiful, and 'teen( on the wing.

The directors of the Baden railways have set a good ex-

winter ; a great boon to the third class pis-engem.
Hitherto only first and ascend class carriages had been so
provided. In France, first elm carriages are alone sup.
