which he held past the stand, followed by Patrick, Doe-
foot, Oberon, and Twilight, the two favourites retaining
their rearward position. Rounding the turn Kill-or-Cure
increased his lead, the lot running in Indian file along the

into the rear, and Doefoot, with Twilight, came on in
attendance on the leader ; Comet, with Isoline at his side,
drawing forward to the turn for home, rounding which
Kill-or-Cure was beaten, and Twilight attempted to get up
on the inside. Doefoot at the same time moved to the
front, and struck into the mare's heels, cutting her severely,
and destroying whatever chance she might have possessed.
At the distance Comet, with Isoline on the outside, joined
Doefoot, and the three finished a fine and exciting race

The " lianunam," or Eastern Bath.

-~---

Perhaps one of the most attractive, but certainly
one of the most pleasant establishments in the
metropolis at the present time is the " Hammam,"
or Eastern Bath, Jermyn-street, Sc. James's. The
beneficial effects of the Turkish Bath have been so
generally acknowledged that a long plea in its
support is entirely unnecessary, but we are led to
these few remarks in the hope or inducing some
who have not vet experienced its exlailirating
influence to visit the " Hammam," if only as a matter
of curiosity. The stranger will at once be struck
with the peculiar novelty and beauty of the build-
ing, and we feel positive, as in our own case, a desire
to submit to the entire operation will instantly ariee_
That there may be no scruples on the part of the
visitor or objections to such a wish we will, merely
for the use of the novice, give an accurate but very
brief outline of the whole affair. The building of
itself is one of great novelty and beauty, and
with but a slight strain on the imagination
the visitor may fairly fancy himself located at
Constantinople. The bather is, in the first in-
stance, conducted to one of the luxuriously fitted
compartments in the main building, and there, hav-
ing made the necessary arrangements, he is next in-
troduced to the Hararah, or hot air chamber, where
he can, for the next 20 minutes or so, take his ease
in the manner he may feel most disposed, either
sitting or reclining. A plentiful perspiration is
thus induced, and then an attendant proceeds with
the next operation, viz., "shampooing," the pro •
cess being a brisk rubbing of the body. After
this the bather receives a delightful " sloueing"
with tepid or cold water, and then having had the
soaping :operation performed, which is merely an-
other rubbing dawn with a very soft but very plea-
sant contrivance, not unlike a large shaving brush,
he receives another " slouicing " ,and the operation
is completed either by a cold plunge or douche
bath. The bather is then enveloped in a deliciously
soft kind of sheet, and he then betakes himself to his
divan, where, until the skin regains its proper tem-
perature, he again takes his ease, sipping his coffee
and puffing his cigar. The skin having become
dry and coal, the novice has thus " done"
his first Turkish bath. The Hammam is
certainly the most elegant building of the sort in
London. Everything that the most refined taste
could imagine, or the most lavish expenditure
secure for the comfort of the visitors has been done,
and we feel certain those who visit the establish-
ment in Jermyn-street will not only experience a
pleasure they never could imagine, but that they
will thank us for directing their attention to the
" notion" of taking a Turkish bath.

The Fatal Accident on the London, Brighton,
and South Coast Railway,

LATEST PARTICULARS.—(THIS DAY.)
Up to two o'clock this afternoon the casualties of the
late accident had not been augmented by any further
deaths. The names of the two unfortunate guardsmen
killed are Stone and Blunden, the first being a married.
man. There are no less than 26 soldiers at present in the
Grenadiers' Hospital, suffering from the accident, and.
in some cases their injuries are of a very severe
and dangerous nature, whilst in others the pain is occa-
sioned by extreme bruises.
Surgeon Blenkin and the other officers of the hospital
have been unremitting in their attention, and it is their
anticipation that no further deaths will ensue, although, in
one or two cases, they are almost precluded from that
hope.

General Lord Rokeby, from the Commander-in-
Chiefs' office, Horse-Guards, this morning visited the men
in hospital, and made several enquiries of the officers, and
directed that everything possible should be done for their
comfort.

The statement that a number of the wounded were taken
to Westminster Hospital is a mistake, as none of the injured
persons were brought there, but most of the civilians were
taken to St. Thomas' Hospital, Surrey Gardens, where
they received, it is needless to say, every attention.
Avery searching investigation is going on relative to the
cause of the accident.
