* Doubtful starters.

Fills de l'Air, after CambusAn was struck out, and Paris
sent to the right about, has held the position of first
favourite for nearly the last month. The French filly
was certainly the best two-yr-old that ran last year.
Several demonstrations have been made to knock her
about in the market, but she still holds her place firmer
than ever. Although French favourites seldom win, I
certainly on the present occasion shall look with great confi•
dance to see 11Ile de l'Air run first or second. Pens has been
under a cloud for some time past, as much as 3 to 1 having
been laid that he would not face the starter. Next to the
French filly he is entitled, from his two-yr-old perform-
ances, to the greatest respect. All sort of rumours have
been circulated about him. If he only goes to the post
with winning orders, he ought not to be despised.
Copenhagen has had a wonderful trial. He has
done everything that has been asked of him in pri-
vate, and I have no doubt he will acquit himself equally
well in public. General Peel, since the scratching of
First Flight, has now become a prominent favourite. The
easy defeat of Lord Clifden by Rapid Rhone has imparted
additional confidence to the supporters of his noble owner's
colours. Lord Glasgow is ono of the most honourable and
straightforward supporters of the turf, and hie success
would be hailed with the most lively satisfaction. Planet
was beaten in his trial, but I think he is the best horse for
those who fancy place investments. John Scott's let seem
all to have passed a bad night. Sir Roger, after having
beaten two platers, was at once elevated to the rank of
second favourite, but he has now taken his proper position
amongst the outside division. Acolyte, although said by
those well informed to be a doubtful starter, I consider
ae the best outsider in the race. His only win last year
was at the Newmarket First October meeting, when he
won the Rutland Stakes, carrying Bst 101 b, by eight lengths,
beat Z! EsptJance, Bst 61b ; Claremont, 9st (including 41b
extra) and 5i„;: to Knutsford, Bst 61b. If he can only
be got to run up to that ;,erformanco, it would not surprise
me to see Lord Stamford, now t.t.'at he has scratched Cam-
buscan, hailed the winner of die Two Thousand. The
judge, I expect, will place them in the Wowing order :
GENERAL PEEL ......1

* Doubtful starters,

Without going through the performances of the various
horses engaged I would merely hint that my impression at
the present time is that
MOLLY CAREW or MASQUERADE

will win this valuable stake, giving the preference to the
former. If I ace any reason to alter my opinion, I shall
again refer to the race in The Sun of Wednesday.

A GARIBALDIAN MEDAL.—Nir. T. R. Pinches has
produced a bronze medal, commemorative of the visit of
Garibaldi to this country. The likeness is pretty good ; and
the workmanehip is oltogether effecti7o.
" RUM," A NEW OPERA, by Herr Schleibner,
is shortly to be produced at Wiesbaden.
CANDLELIGHT IMPROVEMENT.--A very consia
derable improvement has been made in the manu-
facture of candles byPrice's Patent Candle Company, in se-
veral respects. In the first place the company has succeeded
by a chemical combination of the ingredients in producing
candles specially adapted for bedroom use, which do not
drop grease, are very much more durable in use, and emit
a more brilliant light, and which at the same time are far
cheaper than those previously in use. They have also
manufactured and specially adapted for these candles a
very cheap and ornamental bronze stick with a reducing
socket, which, it need scarcely be said, gives a consider-
able saving to the consumer in their use. The company
have also brought the aid of chemistry to bear in the im-
provement of their toilet soaps, and while this improve-
ment in their combination has been secured a greater dura-
bility in use is at the same time guaranteed.
