SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Adgar and Enfield. Won by throe lengths. Lady Jane
was a bad third.

one of great merit, and if carried into effect would have re-
flected honour on the Corporation of London ; but they
found that the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway
Company had obtained an act of Parliament empowering
them to erect a viaduct for their line across Ludgate-hill,
and bad expended such large sums of money in constructing
their works as to render it impossible for them to abandon
the viaduct, which was an essential part of it. The directors,
with whom the committee put themselves in communica-
tion, declined under those circumstances to consider any
alternative plan, andthe committee had to relinquish an op-
position which was hopeless. The company, however, had
undertaken to build a viaduct highly ornamental in design
and appearance; but he believed that, decorate it as they
might, the thing would be a great eyesore in that part of
the metropolis for all time. (Hear, hear.)
THE CITY TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT.
Deputy LOTT, chairman of the Police Committee, stated,
in reply to Mr. Kelday, that the Court of Aldermen, on
whom the duty devolved under the act of last session of
making a code of by. laws for the regulation of the city
traffic, were now engaged on the work.

THURSDAY.

A very interesting race for the Queen's Plate over the
Beacon Course began to-day's spot t. Six horses entered for
it, though in reality only Harlequin and the NN inter of the
Goodwood Cup were in the race, which, before they had
breasted the hill, was left entirely to them. The issue was
never in doubt, however, for the game Iselin answered to
every call of her rider, and came in a clever winner by half
a half. Walloon carried off the Handicap Sweepstakes, de •
featiag the favourite, Croagh Patrick, after a good race
between them, by half a length. The Sixteenth Triennial
brought together Midnight Mass, Evelina, and Ely, with
five others of lesser degree. The Baron's filly was made
the favourite, Ely being also backed for some money.
Owing to a very straggling start Evelina was left a long
way in the rear,—a disadvantage which she did not recover,
and the race, which was looked upon almost as a certainty
for her, was won cleverly by Ely, Midnight Mass succumb-
ing half way up the cords, and the celebrated Tomato gain-
ing second honours by three lengths from Olivia.
The T wo-year- old Handicap, bringing 16 to the post, was
won by Land of the West, who made all the running, and
won with the utmost ease by three lengths. The Plate A.F.
Manrico put to Lord Strathmore's account, the favourite,
Bosh, being second. The Rutland Stakes looked a cer-
tainty for Claremont, from his public running, the others
being too unknown to fame to warrant any outlay on their
chances. The Duke of Beaufort's filly made the running,
followed by the favourite, going steadily within himself,
looking as if he only waited for Aldcroft's call to come out
the winner. But to the dismay of his backers he stopped
on mounting the hill, and Acolyte, who had been lying
third, came with a rush and landed Lord Stamford's colours
by same eight lengths.
The weather changed for the worse this afternoon, a
drizzling rain rendering the heath very disagreeable.

THE ROYAL ENTERTAINMENT AT CWILDHALL.
Deputy ELLIOTT, pursuant to notice, brought forward a
motion on a matter arising out of the Royal entertainment
at Guildhall. He said a certain kind of abuse had for many a
long year been practised in the corporation, which on a late
occasion he believed was wholly unparalleled in its magni-
tude, and a repetition of which it concerned the honour and
character of every member of the Common Council, if pos-
sible, to prevent. He had been asked by some members not
to proceed with the motion of which he had given notice ;
by others he had been urged to modify it in every possible
„ay, and by all means not to foul his own nest. His
answer to that advice was that the nest was already foul
enough—(a laugh)—and he wanted to cleanse it. To show
that he was not a cantankerous man, disposed to take ex-
ception on slight occasions, it was really necessary that they
should have some conception of the abuses of which he had
to complain. On the recent Royal entertainment at Guild-
hall a large sum of money had been spent—the greater
part of it in a munificent and honourable manner—but
much of it in such a way as to warrant the extenuating
inference that the Entertainment Committee had been for
the time in a chronic state of intoxication, either from
loyalty or wine. (A. laugh.) Things were ordered
which it was almost an affront to the graceful and well-
bred guest? who were invited to suppose that they could
have occasion to use in the few hours they spent at the en-
tertainment. He held in his hand a bill for perfumery sup-
plied on the occasion, amounting to £lO9, including seven
I ivory hair-brushes, £l2 10s.; ten tortoiseshell dressing-
combs, 17s. ; and five dozen bottles of eau de Cologne,
L 6 14s. 6d- One would think that, instead of ladies of
princely rank, the leading personages in the company were
the Bingof Dahomey and his black negresses. (A. laugh.)
"A doyen and a half of fancy powder boxes, ten rose-cut
bottles
of perfumery, £5 Os. ; 117 soap tablets, £4 12e. 6d."
It was an insult, he repeated, to suppose that such things
could have been wanted at such a time. " Two patent hair
brushes, £3 168. ; 4 ivory cloth-brushes, £0 ;" and, to make
short fork of a
dal, " Engraving ivory hair-
brushes, £7." These were the purposes to which much of
the Leong
of the corporation had been applied on the occa-
sion. It might as well have been thrown into the fire.
Then there were a pair of Sevres vases, £32, and a costly
porcelain tray, £lO 17s. Now, if such things had after-
wards found their wsy to the Kensington Museum or the
Mansion-house to be treasured up as beautiful specimens of
the ceramic art at the present time, he should have held his
tongue; but not so. On the contrary, they had since dis-
or, as chymists would say, been " sublimed."
appeared,
(Laughter.) Then he held in his hand a bill, amounting
altogether to £644, for porcelain articles supplied on the oc-
casion by Alderman Copeland—(hear, hear)—though it was
a standing order of that Court that no member of it was to
sell or furnish goods to the corporation. That account in-
for dessert plates. Those, he ought to say, were
eluded £9O
honestly
bought after the entertainment by some of the un-
members of the Common Council, who wished
privileged
to have mementoes of the occasion and to pay for them. (A
laugh.) Then there was a fine porcelain tea service, £lB
188.,
which, so far as he knew to the contrary, had also dis-
appeared.
MAYOR, interposing, said that was now part
The Lo"
of the permanent property of the Mansion-house.
Deputy ELL' orr was delighted to hear that it was. There
was a toilet
serice, Xo2 lOs ; and he should be glad to hear
that that also formed part of the property of the Mansion-
house. There were two other similar services, costing £lB
and
These, as far as he could make out, had all dis-
appeared. They certainly ere not in the sale of remanets
which they, the unprivileged members of the Court, bought
and paid for.
1-I€l might go over an enormous list of articles
which had all disappeared. They ought not to have been
never wanted by the distinguished
ordered, for they were
persons who attended the ball only for a few hours. The
apprehended,. would be that the members
answer, he
of the
Entertainment Committee, who gave gra-
tuitous and laboriousservices on the occasion, were entitled
to a few souvenirs in the shape of waifs and strays. But the
total cost of all that flotsam and jetsam amounted to no less
than £soo—(a
laugh)--and the whole adornments of the
Princess's boudoir had disappeared. Besides, the com-
mittee were precluded from setting up that excuse, seeing
that during five or six weeks' work they spent £2OO in
dinners and luncheons-- £l5O in a breaking up treat—(a
laugh)—and,
not satisfied with all that, they expended
£l5O more for articles of personal decoration used by them-
selves, was not that payment twice over for six weeks'
work in getting' uP an
entertainment whieh every true-
hearted citizen
of London would have been delighted to do
for nothing on so auspicious and joyous occasion ? Now,
he thought he had made out a case for putting a stop to an
abuse of public funds which had grown up from small de-
grees until it had culminated in this great scandal. No
single member of that Court, whatever his office, ought to
take away from Gail"
:11 property worth—he was ashamed
to say how mucb, but e believed £2OO. It concerned the
honour of the corporation to put a stop to such reckless
abuse. As it was, it would be nuts to their opponents, and
Sir Geo, Grey, who signally failed in harming them when
they had a just quarrel, might now prepare himself for
another attack on their corporate privileges, assailing them
in a vulnerable point , or the Metropolitan Board of
,
Works might say, A. re these the men to bo entrusted
with the execution of great works of public utility and
necessity, who
spend their time, and, what is worse, the
public money, on siic"i, gewgaws ?" He ought to say
there was a retrieving circumstance connected with the
subject ho bad brought under their consideration.
Two very beautiful chairs of state used on the occa•
sion, he had been told, were by an immense effort saved
by the vigorous exertions of one member—(a laugh)—
and taken to the Mansion-house,
where they remained as
interesting memorials of an interesting event. With the
exception, however, of the things that were sold—and there
' was some little trouble to save even them—a very large num-
ber of valuable articles had been taken away, how and by
whom remained to be seen. There was but ono thing for the
parties concerned to do, but he should not say what it was.
(A laugh.) Let bygones be bygones,
but at the same time
let the Court come to a manly and dignified resolution which
would show to the world that the great majority of the cor-
poration had clean hands in the matter, and had no part in
such a scandal. (Cheers.) He concluded by moving "That
it be referred to the law officers to consider and report whe-
ther it was competent for any member of that corporation,
whatever official position he might hold, to accept or take
into his own possession any chattels or other property of the
corporation other than by a vote of the Common Council."
The motion was seconded by Mr. WEBBER..
Mr. TRUSCOTT, chairman of the Royal Entertainment
Committee, said he was prepared to give a satisfactory an.
swer to the charges which had been made against the com-
mittee, and to contend that what they had done on the oc-
casion redounded to their credit and to the renown of the
corporation. He preferred, however, to make that answer
its a full court, and with that view he moved tho adjourn-
ment of the debate.

They started at a slow pace, Dunsinano having the com-
mand, ;the others lying nearly abreast for the first two
miles, when he was beaten, and suddenly dropped into the
rear, the lead being left with Harlequin, close up with
whom was the favourite and Crafton Lass, the others, one
by one, giving way. On entering the rails Isoline joined
Harlequin, and half way up obtained a slight lead, whieh
she retained to the end, and won very cleverly by half a
length. Crafton Lass finished a bad third the others
trotted in some distance in the rear.

Won by a length; half a length separated the second and
third.

Council held a meeting at Guildhall, the Lord Mayor pre-

Mr. Ricunuosox declared that he laboured four or five
weeks on the Reception Committee, and had not even a
glass of wine in that time; but it was well known in the
corporation that on these occasions everything in the way of
refreshment depended on the presiding genius, (Laughter.)
Mr. LAWLEY expressed his great regret that this matter
had been mooted before the report of the Entertainment
Committee had been presented.
Mr. KELDAY complained of the vague manner in which
the charges had been made, and that Deputy Elliott had
not been manly enough to prefer a specific charge against
some individual or individuals, if he had any to make.
The debate was then adjourned, and the Court broke up
in the state of excitement which it produced.
