OFFICIAL APPOINTMENTS.—Sir Richard Graves
M'Donnell, Tint, and C. 8., has been appointed lieutenant-
governor of Nova Scotia; Mr. James Watson Sheriff has
been appointed president and senior member of the Execu-
tive Council of the Island of Nevis; and Messrs. Johu
M`Donnell and James Mill to be members of the Council of
the Island of Grenada.—Observer.
THE OAKS.—A correspondent, writing to the
Times, says It has been very accurately stated
that when the French mare Fille de l'Air won the Oaks on
Friday her triumph called forth execrations from the crowd,
and the horse and her jockey had' to be accompanied to the
weighing stand by a strong body of police. But it has been
omitted (no doubt from good motives) to state the cause of
this popular indignation, and in all probability it will be
attiibuTed by ti3e outside world, and especially by cur
neighbours over the water, to petty feelings of John Bullism
and national prejudice. Nothing can be further from the
truth, and it is well that the truth should be stated. When
M. Lupiers Dollar won the great handicap at Northampton
in the spring no such feeling was exhibited, and among the
lovers of racing generally the principle " detur digniori"
universally prevails. But with respect to Fille de l'Air the
opinion, be it right or wring, is nearly unanimous that her
running has not been honest; that when she started in the
Two Thousand Guineas Stakes at Newmarket, although in
perfect trim, she was not allowed to win ; and, in short,
that the whole thing has been a robbery. I am not, as you
will know by the card I enclose, a betting or racing man,
and write in no soreness .as to the results of the race, but I
am warmly interested in. the honour of the Turf, and con-
cerned to maintain the c liaraeter of our countrymen as lovers
of fair play.
