Fille de l'Air, after Cambus.an was struck out, and Paris
sent to the right about, hes 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-
dence to see Me do l'Air run first or second. Praia has been
under a cloud for some time past, as much as 3 to 1 having
been laid that he wouid 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 tho post
with winning orders, he ought nut 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 one of the most honourable and
straightforward supporters of the turf, and his success
would be hailed with the most lively satisfaction. Planet
was beaten in his trial, but I think he is the beat horse for
those who fancy place investments. John Scott's lot seem
all to have parsed a bad night. Sir Roger, after having
beaten two platers, was at cnco 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 bo a doubtful starter, I consider
as 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 Sat 10Ib, by eight lengths,
beating Esperance, Bst 61b ; Claremont, 9st (including 41b
extra) ; and Sister to Knutsford, Bst 61b. If he can only
be got to run up to that performance, it would not surprise
cue to see Lord Stamford, now that he has scratched Cam-
buscan, hailed the winner of the Two Thousand. The
judge, I expect, will place them in the following order :
GENERAL PEEL ....
FILLE DE L'AIR 2

Filly by West Australian—Clarissa
* 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 see any reason to alter my opinion, I shall
again refer to the race in Vie Sun of Wednesday.

A FRESH MAN.

A OARIBALDIAN MEDAL—Mr. T. R. Pinches has
produced a bronze medal, commemorative of the visit of
Garabaldi to this country. The likeness is pretty good ; and
the workmanship is altogether effective.

Rizzio," A NEW OPERA, by Herr Sehleibuer,
is shortly to be produced at Wiesbaden.

CANDLELIGHT IMPROVEMENT.—A very consi.
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.
