The Fairy Entertainment, entitled
PRINCE BLOSSOM IN THE LAND OF SHADOWS!
Is written expressly for this establishment by W. F. Vander-
veil, author of the celebrated " Enchanted Hash," and en-
ables Mr. Morton, with the aid of Professor Pepper's Optical
Illusion (km .wn as the Ghost), to produce effects never before
contemplated, and which have all been duly registered by
him and Mr. J. H. Weston under the title of " The Ghost in
the Magic Fountains." By this new arrangement, that
which is in reality nothing but a shadow, becomes to all ap-
pearance endowed with life, and when " Fame" takes her
flight through the burning Catar►cts, and the Naiads seek
their beds in the Crystal Waters, form a coup d'cell of beauty
unparalleled even in fairy romance.

TEETH.—Mr. ESICELL'S INVENTION in
the construction of ARTIFICIAL TEETH has the
following advantages :—A set of teeth, of excellent work-
manship and mechanism, can be made and fitted with the
most perfect accuracy and success, in a few hours, without
pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
Zunis, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the
aid of a dentist. They are not so liable to injury, are always
useful, and will last a lifetime. Comfort guaranteed. Trea-
tise explaining Mr. Eskell's Patent, &c., free for 7 stamps.

Betting-7 to 4on Emblematic, 100 to 30 agst Lincoln,
10 to 1 agst any other.
Fly Fisher rushed to the front and jumped the water in
front of the stand clear of Chester and Woodford, who
were two or three lengths in advance of Lincoln, O'Connell
going over fifth, and Emblematic, who alighted in the
water, was last over. Going out of the course, after pro-
ceeding about hqlf a mile, Emblematic refused, and retired
to the rear; but in the next 200 yards O'Connell and Ches-
ter also refusing, the Liverpool winner went on fourth, a
long way, however, behind Fly Fisher. At this same
fence Lincoln and Woodford swerved on the wrong side of
a flag, but were soon righted, and after they had gone a
mile and a half Lincoln took second place, Fly Fisher still
holding the lead, but at such a slow pace that Woodford
and Emblematic were within an easy distance of the other
two. In the succeeding half mile Lincoln took up the run-
ning, but was again deprived of the lead approaching the
water jump, which was first cleared by Fly Fisher, Lin-
coln second, and Woodford third. Emblematic, the only
other competitor in the race, again jumped the water and
the several succeeding fences to the road badly. Nearly a
mile from borne Emblematic overjumped herself and fell,
but neither she nor Stevens was injured. The other three
ran closely together until arriving in the course, where
Woodford dropped away, and the other two raced over
the last hurdles, in jumping which Fly Fisher stumbled,
and his jockey went on to his neck. This gave Lincoln a
decided advantage, and, maintaining the front position to
the end, he won by a neck; a bad third. Nothing else passed
the post.

brooke Lass (side by side) second and third, Whitewash
and St. George fourth and fifth, the others exhibiting a
long tail, with Florida and Bloodhound whipping in. Going
over the post and rail-fence, Ladbrooke Lass, on the top
side, joined Miss Laurie, and the two went down the
hill for the brook at a cracking pace, with Whitewash,
Bloodhound, Cooksboro', and St. George as their imme-
diate followers to the water-jump, where St. George,
Bloodhound, and 'Whitewash parted company, and the
latter having dropped into a grip just before reaching the
water, unfortunately broke his back, and was destroyed on
the spot. After this the three came on in close order to the
fence out of the big meadow, which Cooksboro' was the
first to clear, Ladbrooke Lass second, Miss Laurie close
with them to the gorse fence, where Cooksboro' was beaten
and Miss Laurie putting on the steam, split Cooksboro' and
Ladbrook Lass, and held a slight lead to within a couple of
hundred yards of home, when the favourite again went to
the front, and won a good race by three-quarters of a length,
three lengths separating the second and third. Bloodhound
and St. George walked in fourth and fifth. The others, by
falls and refusals, were pulled up, and did not pass the

AQUATICS,

UNIVERSITY BOAT RACE.

Compared with the dashing work in both the University
boats at Putney yesterday, the previous performance of the
crews might be considered insignificant ; both evidently
were on their mettle, and their exertions gained for them
the unqualified approbation of their friends, and augur well
for a fine race on Saturday. Still there are some trifling
defects which ere then will probably disappear. Ihe Cam-
bridge crew went out shortly after eleven o'clock from
Symonds's yard with new oars supplied from his store, and
not yet painted, their own sets, which they brought
from Cambridge, being disapproved of. They rowed up
against the tide to the Ship at Mortlake, where they
made a fine start, and rowed the course down on the
ebb. The whole distance was rowed at a bursting pace,
commencing at 36 and reaching 37 or 33 strokes per minute,
when they were well into their work, and they were well
together in the pull, although close critics were of opinion
that some of the crew still threw themselves a little too
much back at the end of the stroke, by which they lose
time, to say nothing of expending strength, without a com-
mensurate effect. Their pace was certainly very fast, the
distance being accomplished in little more than 201 minutes.
The Oxonians went out from the London Rowing Club
boat-house, at about 12 o'clock, and rowed a little above the
Ship before they turned to go off, and were then nearly on a
level with Barker's rails. They went off at a fine pace, and
getting into the celebrated Oxford swing almost immedi-
ately, came down at a fine pace, rowing at the rate of from
33 to 39 or 39 strokes per minute. Their pace was acce-
lerated towards the finish, and the time occupied was about
20f minutes and some five or six seconds less than the Can-
tabs, with a little more distance but a trifle more tide. Bet-
ting was 5 to 4 on Oxford, but neither freely laid nor taken
The Stork steamer has been engaged by Henry Kelly, the
ex-champion of the Thames, to convey spectators from
Woolwich to accompany the race.
