tires for the Two Thousand Guineas, Gam ST.zays and
FosmonA, with a conviction that Ls iilanszm and
Ilonian are two sound place investments, and will be
ridden oat for the now by no means berm honours of
"1, 2, 3." " Augur " also thinks that FORMOSA has now
a chance of accomplishing the unprecedented feat of land-
ing the double event—One Thouaand and Two Thousand.
" Beacon," of the Sporting Gazette, gives the preference
for the Two Thousand be PACS and Li BARBA/IN. He
reserves his opinion upon the One Thousand which will be
materially affected by the running of Forman and Green
fikeve.
The Field, summing up its comments, states that its
Two Thousand representative must be FORMOSA, and the
same prediction holds good for the One Thousand.

An attempt is said to have been made on Thursday

Mr. Home ? ' and at the moment raised his hand,
aiming a blow at the left side of the neck. Ur. Home
did not aeone that say weapon was in the man's hand,
but, being very nervous gums he has been hooted by the
mob, he instinctively raised his left arm, and the dagger
pierced the sleeve of his coat. As he brought his arm sod-
denly down the point pawed through the breast cd his
overcoat, his coat and vest, and touched the skin bat
slightly. He made a sort of backward blow with his band
and ran towards his hotel. As he struck beekvsrds the
point of the stiletto entered the back of his hand, and the
wound bled profusely. The surgeon is of nion that a
nerve has been injured, so that much sal is needed at I
