Lottery, in company with Bootjack, Inder, and Countess,
made the running to the first flight of hurdles, which they
all cleared with the exception of Attraction, who bolted to
the left and fell, and was out of the race. Going up the hill
Countess went to the front and increased the pace, in which
way they ran to the hurdles opposite the chair, which In-
der cleared in advance followed by Lottery and Bootjack to
halfway up the hill a second time, when Countess and Boot-
jack were beaten, leaving Inder and Lottery to finish the
race home. Descending the hill Lottery obtained a clear
lead, which he held to the end, and won in a canter by Nix
lengths, Bootjack a good third. On returning Mr. C. Jay
objected to Lottery, for having gone on the wrong side of
the flag, which was admitted by Mr. T. Jay, and the race
awarded to Inder.

Liberator made the running, waited upon by D. I. 0.,
Hazard, and Lord George, the others lying close up, the
last of all being Whisker, who, running unkindly,:bolted
lafter clearing the hurdles, and got rid of his rider in the
winning field. On reaching the double, the leading horses
got safely over, but D. I. 0. and Duchess refused, and were
left some distance in the rear, the lead being taken by Lord
George, followed by Hazard, Liberator going on third, and
D. I. 0. next. With little or no alteration they ran in this
order to the fence in the bottom, at which Lord George fell
heavily, giving his rider a purler, but who, nothing daunted,
was soon up again and following his horses. On reaching
the double fence a second time they all blundered at it, but,
being put at it a second time Liberator was the first over,
which gave him a commanding lead, which he held to the
end, and won in a canter by 20 lengths. Lord George, who
had recovered his lost ground, fiaished a good third ;
D. I. 0. fourth.

St. James, Swallow, Vanguard, and Telegraph, the others
following some distance in the rear, the last being Indeci-
sion. Proceeding up the hill Telegraph went to the front,
St. James going on second, Swallow third, Red Miner
fourth, and Bandy Leg;,• next, all close together. In this way
they proceeded without a mistake to the fence out of the
winning field, when Red Miner took second place, Cork-
screw third, Swallow fourth, St. James fifth, the others pre-
senting a lengthened tail, Indecision being still last. On
reaching the fence on the brow of the hill Telegraph fell,
and was not persevered with, leaving the lead with Cork-
screw, who, in company with Swallow, St. James, and Red
Miner, made the rest of the running to the fence, where
Telegraph came to grief, at which he fell, and unhorsed his
rider, but who was speedily remounted. This mishap gave
a slight lead to Indecision, who had improved his reerward
position in an unaccountable manner, and won very easily
by 20 lengths ; two lengths separating the second and
third. Red Miner, who fell twice, finished a good fourth ;
the others came home by the shortest route.

SCHOOL OF METALLURGY IN

SHEFFIELD.

Lord Wharn?,liffe presided at a public meeting held in
the Sheffield Council Hall on Thursday afternoon, to con-
sider
the advisableness of establishing a school for the
study of metallurgy and pi actical mechanical science.
Mr. J. A. Roebuck, M.P. and the leading merchants and
manufacturers of the town were present. The noble
Chairman having strongly advocated the proposed
school, the Rev. Mr. Atkinson, principal of the Sheffield
Collegiate School, stated the course of study which will
be pursued at the proposed institution, which he hoped
to see established in connection with the school over
which he presides.—The Mayor of Sheffield moved
a resolution that, in the opinion of the meeting,
the formation of a school of practical science and
metallurgy would greatly benefit the interests of Sheffield,
and recommending its establishment. In the course of his
address the mayor said that the great steel houses in Ger-
may were putting forth great efforts in order to eclipse
Sheffield at the forthcoming exhibition. Mr. Roebuck,M.P.,
seconded the resolution. After some introductory remarks
the hon. gentleman said—We are now open to the competi-
tion of the whole world; and I have heard some very
mournful predictions of what will be the consequence of the
Exhibition that is going to take place this year. lam told
by persona competent to judge, that the English manufac-
turer will be beaten on his own standing place, and that
the manufacturers in Sheffield will find superiors in their
own art amongst the manufacturers of Germany. If
this La the case what is the reason? Can it be said
that there is more of capacity in the German manuf c-
turer ? Not at all, for lam vain enough to think that the
Englishman is equal to any other man in the world. (Hear,
hear.) But if you take a German and instruct him—if you
teach him the principles of his art, and give him the science
which ought to guide him, and leave the Englishman to
blunder in ignorance, you need not wonder if the English-
man is conquered in the race. (Hear, hear.) And that
it should be so is a slur upon this great country at the
present time ; end that you, the people of Sheffield, with
everything which nature can supply to you—supplied
to the fullest extent around—should be in a situation to
be beaten and conquered by the continental manfac.
turers, is a disgrace to the town and the people of Shef-
field. (Hear, hear.) The sooner they got out of tha
difficulty the better. The way to meet it is to instruct those
who are to guide the artisan ; and when the Mayor said he
did not want to have a professor in his establishment, but a
man educated in the town, to pick out and guide the artisan,
he stated what ought to be the feeling of every mercantile
man in this town—he ought to have ready at his hands the
means of conquering the difficulties which nature has placed
in his path. The resolution was adopted, and a committee
of highly influential gentlemen appointed to organise the
details, and to obtain funds for the formation of the school.
