C.E.WTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

r -
SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

(Before the Recorder.)
John Gilbert, 45, and William Gilbert, 39, described as
dealers, were indicted for unlawfully conspiring
__together
and by false pretences obtaining from Frederick
Hutchings 292 pieces of paper hangings, and from Anthony
Silvia 60,000 artificial flower seeds, with intent to defraud.
Mr. F. H. Leiria conducted the prosecution ; and Mr.
Montagu Williams and Mr. Straight appeared for the
defence.
It appeared that the prisoners took a small office at 44,
Ilatton-garden, and on window-blind was painted the
words " Gilbert Brothers, merchants." Their practice
woe for one or other of them to call on tradesmen
and merchants, and buy goods of every conceiv-
able character, and make an appointment for payment,
representing that they always paid cash, but the cools
were immediately pledged, and the sellers were invariably
put off with plausible excuses. In this manner the quan-
tity of paper ings mentioned in the indictment was
obtained at different times within a few days from Mr.
Hutchings, who carries on business at 32, Great Saffron
Hill, the prisoners each time promising immediate pay-
ment. Ultimately he culled in a police-constable and
gave them into custody, and on the premises
there were found a coffee sack and two tea chests
filled with cinders and who,. A large quantity of cards
were likewise discovered, some describing " Gilbert Bro-
thers " as "provision merchants," and otheni describing
them as "wboleeals and export oilmen," "leather mer-
chants," " drysaters," " wholesale and export stationers,"
"wholesale clothiers," dc.
The jury acquitted the prisoners of the charge of obtain-
ing the goods by false pretences, but convicted them of
conspiracy, and it was then stated that they had previously
bad offices in Bentonville, Oxford-street, the Strand, and
almost all parts of London, under different nainexaud had
suo aided in defrauding about 200 persons.
The Recorder sentenced each of them to twelve months'
imprisonment with hard labour.

THE ASCOT NIIETiNG.-THE FINALE•

TO TIE EDITOR ON TES WILES&
RIR, —There is no mincing the fact, that thenurs-
day is fast losing its claim to be styled the Grand Day at
Ascot. Not only does Tuesday fairly beat it from a racing
point of view, but all the old surroundings—the royal pro-
cession, the presence of at least nine thousand out of the
"upper ten," itc.—are brought to bear es the opening
day, which this year quite forestalled the Cup Day. The
weather, that celebrated character at all out-doorfiest,
was actually better though there was little to complain of
in the elements this afternoon, rain merely threatening to
throw a damper on the proceedings. Two or three hours'
downpour would have been • great boon to the parched
turf, which was so bard that it is rung
well we had even
one large geld, and gentlemen t we " scratch "
their hones that had no chance fort o Cup. It reads on
paper as if Lord Hastings acted wisely in
withdrawing The Earl, who only beat Restitution
a neck for the St. James's Palace Stakes, givi
am but
21b more than King Alfred did on Tuesday. o, the
Fail would have finished just about where his jesty
did in the Gold Cup race, some half-a-dozen lengths
behind the Derby winner; but ft must be borne in mind
his lordship was performing at Longchamps on Sunday,
and only three days afterwards did a "double event" at
Ascot. Besides, I have an opinion he beat Restitution
easily; and King Alfred, again, not only lathered pretty
freely when he came out, but had all the worst of it as far as
jockeyship is concerned, it being no detriment to Peeks
to say he is inferior to two artists like Cameron and
Kenyon in a two-mile-and-a-half-race. The little Specu-
lum made a pretty good show in the place of Julius, and
fairly turned the tables on King Alfred for the second-
place beating in the Derby—no doubt to the intense de-
light of Norman, the " post boy," who can boast that he
has got him nearer to the best horse of his year than any-
one else has. That the Gown is the champion three-year-
old must not be doubted until ho meets The Earl
again, and the cheers he was greeted with prove
Sow fond that pest to some owners of horses
—Mr. British Public—is of him. It would have been
a sad disappointment had he not been allowed to run, as
was feared yesterday afternoon, though how those fears
gained such strong ground I can only guess. They pro-
bably emanated from the same pardes who so industriously
made it known on Tuesday that Satyr was stumped up, or
broken down, so that he could not start for either the
Runt Cup or the Stakes • and " Sir Joseph" must think
himself highly favoured ihat he has such I.ind friends al-
ways to make a good market for him. But for the
New Stakes bringing together some sterling good horses,
three of the baker's dozen being afterwards backed for
large TOMB to win next year's Derby, the remainder of the
racing would have been of only passing importance, a fate
that seems in store for to-morrow's busman, with For-
mosa and Julius doubtful starters in the Triennial and
Alexandra Plate. Westwick or Tarabon, Dalesman, Tro-
ceder°, one of Lord Glasgow's, and Blinkhoolie, must
contest the long race in the absence of the Cesarewitch
hero, Blinkhoolie having the greatest share of my confi-
dence; and Restitution's 51b allowance almost ensures hie
doing for the Triennial, with Formosa out of the way.
The Queen's Plate should be won by Hippie or Mandrake.
—I am, ikc., METEOR.
