NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.
Newmarket, Sunday afternoon.
The regular racing season in the south commences to-mor-
row with the Craven Meeting, and with more flattering pros-
pects than we could have anticipated from the state of the turf
twelve months ago. Racing, in fact, has amazingly increased
within the last six months, as may be gathered from the num-
ber, character, and value of the engagements now on the book
for Newmarket, Goodwood, and Ascot, and if the same spirit
which has prevailed of late continues to show itself, there can
be little doubt that the Newmarket and other principal meet-
ings in the south country will recover all their former popu-
larity. With two or three exceptions these remarks will ap-
ply to the north and west country races, where attractions of a
very superior kind are held out to breeders and trainers, so that
1 837 is likely to be a very busy one.
In observance of our usual custom, we submit a list of the
horses in training at Newmarket that have engagements in the
course of the ensuing week :

lius, out of Varennes ; Sir S. Graham's c. by Emilius, out of Bra-
vura ; Lord Chesterfield's Capulet, Lord Lichfield's Cassandra,

ton, Lord Jersey's c. by Sultan, out of Fille de Joie ; Colonel

Chinchilla, Lord Chesterfield's Edgar, Mr. Houldsworth's Dan,
Lord Exeter's 'I roilus, Lord Orford's £ by St. Patrick, out of
Mulebird ; Mr. Forth's c. by Emilius, out of Grisette ; Colonel

Catton, out of Tragedy ; Duke of Cleveland's f. by Emilius, out of
Maria ; Lord Suffield's Caravan, Lord Lichfield's f. by Emilius,
out of Ada ; Lord Orford's c. by Catton, out of Spavina ;
son's Quicksilver, Lord Chesterfield's c. by Emilius, out of Bee-In-
a-Bonnet ; Mr. Vansittart's c. by Catton, out of Darioletta ; Lord
Suffield's Anvil, Lord Egremont's Madeira, Mr. Sotverby's Ruby,
Mr. W. Edwards's c. by Muley, out of Bequest.
Four-Years-Old and upwards.
Duke of Richmond's Haveldar, Lord Suffield's Airy, Mr. Fos-
ter's Longinus, Dord Lichfield's The Drummer, Lord Exeter's
Luck's All, Duke of Rutland's Florestan, Mr. Houldsworth's Tur-
ban, Lord Suffield's Alfred, Lord Chesterfield's Hornsea, Lord
Chesterfield's Carew, Colonel Peel's Slane, Colonel Peel's Mr.
Waggs, Colonel Peel's Jacob Faithful, Mr. W. Edwards's Royal
George, Lord Tavistock's Jack-in-the-Green, Mr. Houldsworth's
Destiny, Lord Lichfield's Elis, Mr. W. Scott's Scroggins, Duke of
Richmond's Emilianus, dam by Gam ; Duke of Grafton's Calmuck,
Mr. J. Day's Venison, and Lord Stiffield's Newlight.
There are in all upwards of 300 horses in the different stables.
The list contains upwards of thirty stakes and matches, inde-
pendent of plates and handicaps, which close in the course of
the week. The most interesting events are the two Riddles-
worths and Column Stakes. For the first Riddlesworth, to be
run to-morrow, there is an entry of twenty-one, of which eleven
only are training here, and of these the Garcia filly and Cas-
sandra (winner of the Nursery stakes), are the only public
horses. Brother to Bay Middleton was tried on Friday, and
is said to have won his trial. Garcia has many admirers, but
neither has been mentioned at any price. Arachne, the Va-
rennes filly, Brother to Mouchc, Bavaria, and Madona, are
thought likely to run.
For Monday's Riddlesworth seven out of twelve are at work,
viz., Garcia and five dark ones.
The Column Stakes has two public (Colonel Peel's Rosa-
bel and Garcia filly) and ten dark horses in training out of a
nomination of twenty-two. The names of those in prepara-
tion will be found in the list given above.
The lameness and departure of Bay Middleton leaves the
Port free for W. Scott, as it does not appear from public runn-
ing that either Sepoy or the Emilianus colt have any chance
with Scroggins.
The weather continues dry, and that is all that we can say
in its favour ; the wind is excessively high and cold, with
every prospect of a fall of some kind. Under such circum-
stances a full or fashionable meeting can scarcely be expected.
It is worthy of observation that while many persons are suffer-
ing from the anomalous state of the weather not a single horse
out of the immense number in training is affected by it, pro-
bably a change will operate prejudicially.
The arrivals at present are so few as not to admit of a list.
The following is a sketch of the fixtures for to-morrow,
omitting such horses as are out of training:—

THE RIDDLES WORTH.

Even on Brother to Bay Middleton, but scarcely a bet
made, the severity of the weather having prevented the usual
muster before the rooms. Besides the favourite, Garcia,
Brother to Mouche, Varennes filly, Arachne, and Medina are
expected to run.
The weather continues wintry, with an occasional fall of
snow, very few arrivals, and every appearance of a dull meeting.

ANTI

DRY ROT COMPANY.-
KYAN'S PATENT.

The Directors of this Company have the greatest satisfaction in
laying the following letters before the public :
2, Lime-street-square, April 5, 1837. _ _

Great St. Helen's, April 4.
Dear Sir,—Accompanying this we send you a Report from Cap-
tain Lisle, the master of our ship, the Samuel Enberby, the first
ship wholly saturated with Mr. Kyan's preparation for the preven-
tion of dry-rot and mildew. We delayed obtaining the report al-
luded to until such a survey had been held on the ship as to have
warranted an opinion on a subject of so much importance to the
public, and we beg now to state, that we feel so well satisfied of the
beneficial effects of the preparation on the timber that in any cases
where we may have occasion either to build or repair our ships we
shall continue to use it, and in like manner for the masts, and in
which particular, we think, we have derived considerable benefit
from its application.
-The iron fastenings, of which she has but few, are not in so satis-
factory a state as we had reason to expect, but we are not prepared
to attribute the cause to Mr. Kyan's preparation ; and with respect
to the copper bolts, they appear as good as on the day they were
driven.

The sails and cordage appear not to have worn so well as we an-
ticipated, and for which we cannot account, as from the numerous
satisfactory experiments we have made, and from the most favour-
able reports we have received of similar canvass, so prepared, in
other vessels, we had considered that point long since settled.
We remain your obedient servants,

Charles Terry, Esq.
Messrs. Enderby,
—•-

C. H. and G. ENBERBY.

Sirs,—ln compliance with your orders, to report as soon as I ar-
rived-in England on the state of the " Samuel Enderby" in reference
to the several points mentioned in your memorandum, in order to
give information on the ship, she being the first vessel built whose
timbers and sails have been prepared according to Ryan's Patent
Process, I beg now to state the following particulars in the same
order as put down by you, viz. :—Sailing and trim of the ship,
health of the crew during the voyage, effect of the process on the
bilge water, state of the timbers and masts, state of the sails and
rigging, effect on the metal bolts by the prepared timber.
We sailed from London on the 11th of October, 1834, and re-
turned to Gravesend on the 7th of March, 1837, being absent from
England 29 months. We reached the Celebes Islands, long. 125
deg. east, lat. I deg. 04 min. south, on the 20th February, 1835, and
remained in those latitudes fishing until October, i 836. The ship
was nearly at sea during the whole period, crossing the line several
times.

Respecting the Ship Sailing.—During the whole voyage, having
met with many English and American vessels, I have found none
whose sailing qualities were equal to the Samuel Enderby's, and am
persuaded (according to my humble opinion) she is the best ship
adapted for the Southern Fishery.
Health of the Crew.—During the whole voyage, all the crew
have been more than usually healthy ; indeed, 1 have never known
the crew of any ship return from the South Sea Fisheries so free
from sickness, therefore I have no hesitation in stating it
is my firm opinion that the patent process in its application to ships'
timbers mast in SOME way- improve the internal atmosphere of the
ship, for, as you are all well aware, we frequently use the water hose
over the casks of oil between decks and in the hold, by which, in
southern latitudes, the hold is filled with steam from evaporation
and intense heat, and that circumstance, in ordinary cases, affects
the timbers and iron work, as well as increasing the putresence of
the bilge water, but in the " Samuel Enderby," from the time she
was launched at Cowes, in August, 1834, until her return to Eng-
land in March, 1837, the bilge water has been much sweeter and
more free from noxious smells than any ship previous that I hare
been in on the same voyages.
Timbers.—As regards the timbers, the ship is perfectly sound in
every respect, and shows no symptoms or indication of decay in any
part throughout the whole ship, and it is my belief that the timber
and plank have shrunk less than any new ship I have witnessed.
Being at Cowes inspecting the ship from the time that her keel was
laid until she was launched, and the greater part of the deck beams
being made from green timber just felled and afterwards submitted
to the process, they are now perfectly sound, and as firm as if cut
from the most seasoned timber. These facts I consider to be strong
evidence in favour of the process, and I am so satisfied myself of its
good effect on timber that I should recommend new ships to be built
of timbers prepared when quite green, and to let it be quite dry be-
fore placing it in the ship.
Masts and Yards.—As to her masts, the lower ones are from the
usual Canada white or yellow pine timber, the others are the red-
pine, all of which remain in a good state ; and have not lost any
during the voyage from the ill effects of dry-rot.
Metal Bolts.—Since my return to England the ship, after being
discharged, was put into dry dock, and many of the bolts, iron and
copper, have been driven out ; the latter are perfectly sound, and in
good condition as possibly can be. The iron bolts are from some
cause (I cannot comprehend) much corroded, probably from the
effect of salt water being so frequently thrown on them.
Sails and Cordage.—The effect of the process on the sails has
not been so satisfactory as you anticipated, for they have worn out
sooner than I expected. The standing rigging has given way in
some places, and, as a precautionary measure, I tarred it to prevent
the effect of the wet weather; whether the sun has had any par-
ticular effect on the canvass and rigging so prepared, as we were for
the most part under the meridian sun, or whether the solution in
which the canvass and rigging were prepared was too strong, I can-
not pretend to say, but it requires further trials (in my opinion) in
similar voyages to establish the efficacy of the process on sails and
rigging. I remain Sirs, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM LISLE, Commander of the " Samuel Enderby."
London, March 28, 1837.
