THE GENEROUS MISER !—Eiwes, who added to
his own fortune another inherited from his uncle,
both amounting to half a million sterling, would dine off a
hard-boiled egg, or a piece of pancake which he had kept
for two months in his pocket. But he would lose thou-
sands at play to men of fashion, pay his debts and never
ask for his winnings, which he thought would be ungen-
tlemanly. He would not lay out a penny on the education
of his two sons. He thought that " putting things into
their heads was taking money out of their pockets."
But when Lord Abingdon had made a match for seven
th.usand pounds, Elwes, who knew he had not the money,
offered to lend it to him. He would walk from one end of
London to another in the rain to avoid paying a shilling for
a coach—would eat his meat putrid rather than order a
fresh joint; and sit in wet clothes rather than light a fire
to dry them. He wore a cast-off wig which he had picked
out of a ditch ; and having torn his only coat, took one
from the family chest which had belonged to an ancestor,
with slash sleeves made of green velvet. But to a merchant
who conciliated him with a present of wine he lent seven
hundred pounds—and a trifling present, or work done fur
nothing, was tolerably sure to be followed by a loan of
money. He would let a poor man starve before he would
aid him; yet, in bonds to peers and others, and on some
American property, he is said to have lost one hundred
and fifty thousand pounds. There were occasional touches
of humour in him. At a shooting party, a bad shot firing
carelessly wounded him in the cheek, " I give you joy,"
he said, "of your improvement—l knew you would by-
and-by hit something," At another time, having cut both
his legs deeply, he sfas with difficulty persuaded to employ
a surgeon. But he would only incur this expense in favour
of one leg. He would manage the other himself, and
offered to bet that it would get well first ; and it did,

SPORTING PROPHECIES

Bell's Life.

To the Somersetshire there has been a species of fatality
attached for years, in the shape of it becoming on paper a
certainty for some particular animal, who in general falls a
victim to what is called a rank outsider. On the present oc-
casion the same aspect presents itself, as the race after lied-
dington's performance with Asteroid appears to be a gilt to
Canary, and in fact there would seem to be nothing in it
but him, Kingswood, and Fantail, and to this trio we
leave it.

AUGUR—Sporting Life,
The Somersetshire Stakes appears to be a gift for Canary,
according to the running with Haddington, at Epsom, con-
sequently it will be useless seeking further, and I must
therefore assign the race to Canary, and, for place-batting,
Vinegar Hill and Flirtation appear most trustworthy.

OBSERVER—The Field.

On Wednesday, the Somersetshire will be the race most
in demand with the public; but the lot left in are so very
moderate that but little interest will be felt in the result,
except by those who are present to witness it. By public
running it seems odds on Canary, and the only others with
a chance of beating him are Fantail and Ringwood,

TOUCHSTONE—Era,

The Somersetsnire Stakes, two miles, has a bad accept-
ance, 58 declaring forfeit out of 81 handicapped, and many
of the three-yr• olds left in appear to have no chance what-
ever, after the running4of Haddington and Adventurer at
Uhester and York, as Canary, 5 yrs, 7st 31b, when receiving
but 81b. from Haddington, ran him to a neck in the Me-
tropolitan, and beat Adventurtr, in the same race at level
weights. He is now giving but 191 b. for two years to the
most moderate three-year olds, and unless his backers are
served as they were at Ascot and Goodwood last year, we
do not see how he can lose. J. Day has others in the stable
that might do in his absence ; and W. Day also accepts
with more than one candidate, so that it is pretty certain
to be a family affair.

Sporting News.

In fact, we see nothing to beat Fantail, unless it be the
best of John Day's (Canary or Portland), or Brother to
Springbok.

BEACON—Sporting Gazette
The Somersetshire Stakes, though only 23 accepted of
the 81 horses weighted, is still likely to bring a pretty
good fi-ld to the post, but the handicap hardly requires any
discussion, for after Canary's performance in the Metropo-
litan, the race seems a gift to him or his stable companion,
Balham ; and failing their running, the contest is likely to
lie between Fantail and Brother to Springbok.

VATICINATOR—Sunday Times.
On paper the race looks a good thing for Canary, but this
shifty gentleman will only try once in an age, and the pub-
lic, moreover, are likely to appropriate the money. Canary,
therefore, shall not sing for us on the present occasion.
Flirtation can get the distance and is one of the likely
division. For Lord Stanley, after his defeat by Star of the
West, at Oxford, last year, we have no fancy. Balham
appears likely to represent Danebury, which might have a
worse champion. The 'Wasp colt is a doubtful runner, but
should he come to the post he will take some beating, with
all his weight, having more quality about him than the
majority of his opponents. Blondin in another animal that
we have a partiality for, though he is likely, we hear, to
be reserved for something later in the season Should his
owner run him, after all, we shall elect him our champion,
but, in his probable absence, couple Flirtation and the
Danebury Repres-mtative.

FALSE IMPRISONMENT OF A RESPECTABLE MAN.—
Richard Phillips, a respectable-looking middle-aged man,
was placed at the bar charged with stealing a quantity of
timber and bricks, the property of Richard Franklin.
Prosecutor stated that he was a purchaser of some timber
and bricks from a French gentleman at the Exhibition.
They were in the eastern annexe, and had been used to
fix soma machinery, since removed. Prosecutor paid a
deposit of 10s. on the 19th of November for the timber and
brickr, and the balance of 15s. to complete the purchase on
the following day. Prosecutor went on the 30th ult. to
the eastern annexe to remove the timber and bricks, and
found them gone. On making inquiries be found the
timber at Douglass's yard, opposite the Cromwell-road.
The prisoner was thee, and said that ha had bought the
timber and bricks of a pasty. Prosecutor gave him plenty
of time to find the man he said he bought the things of,
but he did not, and he gave him into custody.
Mr. Arnold—How do you make out that the prisoner
stole the things ?
Prosecut or—l:bought and paid for them.
Prisoner—And so did I.
Mr. Arnold (to prosecutor)—You have got to prove he
stole them.

Prosecutor—He had no business with them after I had
bought them.
Mr. Arnold—He may possess them wrongfully or he may
not. You have given him in charge for felony, and it is
now for you to prove that he has committed one. He may
have a claim to the property as well as yourself.

Prosecutor— He can't have, it is mine, I bought and paid
for it.

Mr. Arnold—l am not saying that it is yours or his, but
you both lay claim to it and you say he has stolen it.

Prosecutor—l don't know whether he has stolen it or
not.

Mr. Arnold—Then you should not have given him in
charge. It was a very serious thing to take away a man's
character in this way. There is no pretence for charging
the prisoner with felony.
Prisoner was immediately discharged.
It was state 3 that the accused was a very respectable man.

Company
his complimEnts to the Editor of
The Sun, and
begs the favour of the insertion ofu.'n
the enclosed circular in t_or row' s impression of
his paper:—

London Terminus, Paddington, Jan. 15.
The directors have much satisfaction in communicating
to the Great Western proprietors that, in conjunction with
the West Midland Company, they have entered into two
separate agreements, the one with the London and South-
Western Railway Company, and the other with the London
and North-Western Railway Company.
The main object of these agreements is to utilise existing
lines, by increased facilities being given to each other,
thereby affording improved accommodation to the public,
and avoiding expenditure by the projection of new lines,
which might tend to unnecessary or injurious competition.
The agreements made for amalgamation of the West
Midland and South Wales Companies with the Great
Western Company are presented for confirmation by Far-
liament in the approaching session.
The only bill for a new work promoted in this session by
the Great Western Company is to complete a short june.
tion at Great Bridge, in South Staffordshire, between two
lines already formed, and for which provision is made under
the terms of the agreement with the Lowndhoinchaanrd North
Western Railway Company
