transact business, and the value of lace yarns was less firm.
There was scarcely anything doing in hosiery yarns, the
late advance being scarcely obtainable. There is no altera-
tion to notice in the value of brown nets ; business trans-
acted almost nominal.

wails are divided by the same guilloche pattern, and will
probably receive further coloured decorations from the hand
of art. The spacious floor is to be paved in a tasteful geo-
metric pattern with ornamental tiles as a " repeat," and in
harmony with the decorations of the ceiling. A raised dais
about six inches in height, surrounds this splendid apart-
ment, and is skirted and edged with marble, the pattern of
the flooring being completed by the dais as a rich border.
Upen this dais commodious seatswill be placed. Under each
of the two extreme domes a large octagon slab of marble will
support the desks appropriated to the recording of wagers,
the writing of letters, despatches, &c. At the south-west
corner is another set of folding doors which lead into an area
of about 70ft by 4qft, for open-air betting, somewhat simi-
lar to the present Lawn, but paved in this case, and pro-
vided with many conveniences, and amongst others that of a
telegraph-office. The subscription room is warmed by hand-
some open stoves, lined with Minton's tiles, surrounded with
massive and appropriate chimney pieces, from the British
and foreign marble galleries of Warwick House, Regent-
street, and surmounted by very lofty pier glasses. The grand
or central entrance leads onwards through a tall iron gate-
way, over a tramroad for heavy traffic, into the principal
public yard, 108 ft long by 60ft wide, appropriated to sales
by auction. In the centre of this area will be found the old
and familiar Temple of the other premises at Hyde .park-
corner, covering the aqueduct with its fox and the bast of
Geo. IV, when in early life; and in the north-west corner
the well-known pulpit of the auctioneer. The whole of the
yard is covered by a gigantic roof of Hartley's patent glass,
loOft in length, 102tt in breadth, and 60ft high. It is sup-
ported by iron girders, and constructed to admit or exclude
the external air at pleasure, and thus obtain the greatest
amount of ventilation. Surrounding and opening into this
enclosure are some of the stables, of which there are in all
93 stalls and 20 loose boxes. Behind the north and west
portions of the inner row of stalls is a wide roadway, upon
the side of which are some of the loose boxes (intended for
entire horses, and mares with their foals), the dimensions
of which are remarkable, being 12ft by 14ft in size ! These
are lighted by a ventilating louvre top, to which all foul air
is at once carried, without retardation, by the peculiar
construction of the sloping roof. The doors are likewise
provided with the means of additional light an ventila-

lion, All the divisions of the stalls are boarded up to
sft bin in height, with elm planking, and have iron cap-
pings. An excellent system of trapping the drains, ren-
dering each independent of its fellow, is likewise notice-
able.

We need not add that there are numerous corn-rooms,
hay-lofts, washing departments, gas and water to each stall,
&c.; but we may not pass the manure pits without a word
in praise of their thorough efficiency, being arched over
and all effluvia carried aloft by tall shafts. Nor may we
omit to state that above the inner square of stables,
and equally beneath the protection of the glass roof, is
a gallery running the entire length of and around the
oblong square area, for the repository of corriages. Under
a portion of this gallery the tramway is terminated by a
turn-table, upon which the carriages rest, and are raised to
and lowered from the upper level by the hydraulic ma-
chinery of Easton and Amos, which is set in motion by
sin ply turning a tap, being similar in principle to those now
in use at the new monster hotels. Mz. Charles Freeman,
of Lincoln's Inn-fields, is the architect of this complete
structure, and Messrs. Holland and Ilannan, the builders,
the clerk of the works being Mr. B. Pyle.
