BREA.X.FAST BEVERAGE.—homCelpathia practitioners,
and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa
as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doe-
trine of homoeopathy was first introduced into this country
there were to be obt fined no preparations of cocoa either at-
tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut
was either supplied is the crude state, or so unskilfully
manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London,
Homeeopathio Chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn
his attention to this subject, and at length succeeded, with
the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first
to produce an article pare in its composition, and so refined
by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passes
through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach.
For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakiast beverage, possessing a most deli-
cious aroma. Dr. Ilassal, in his work, "Food and its
Adulteratiois," says -"Cocoa contains a great variety of im-
portant nutritive principles—every ingredient necessary to
the growth and sustenance of the body." &gain: "As a
nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee
or tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a
breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured
in tin-lined alb., fib., and 11b. labelled packets, and soil by
all grocers, confectioners, and chemists. - Dn.)

WARWICK SPRING MEETING-WEDNESDAY.

In taking her preliminary canter the last named unhorsed
her rider, and ran into the town, but was brought back, and
shortly after joined her horses at the post. Upwards of
half an hour was lost before Mr. M'George could get them
in anything like order. At last an opportunity presented
itself, and they left the starter, widely spread, Proserpine,
on the inside, having slightly the best of it, the favourite
lying on the right, on the outside of whom were Tinder,
Life Guardsman, Ele Ole, Harriet, and Jessamine, the others
lying close in their wake. The leading division retained
their relative positions to the distance, where Custance
brought up the favourite, and in the next few strides he
headed Proserpine and came on with a clear lead, which
he increased as he came along, and won in a canter by
three lengths; Variety finished a bad third a length in ad-
vance of Ele Ole, Sweet Anne, Life Guardsman, Cynthia
colt, Jessamine, and Tinder, who finished abreast. Tile
last three were Gussie, Albert, and Merry Lass—the latter
having been left at the post.
The Great Warwickshire Handicap of 25 sovs each, 10 ft,

Betting-5 to 4 agst Gibraltar, sto 2 agst Stanton, 4to
1 agst Nu, and 8 to 1 agst Buckfoot.
Nu went to the front immediately the flag was lowered,
and made the running, closely attended by Buckfoot, Gib-
raltar, and Stanton, Joe Maley lying last. As they pro-
ceeded up the hill, Buckfoot joined his stable companion,
the pair running together to the mile post, where the latter
took a clear lead, the pair being upwards of half a dozen
lengths in advance of the favourite, close at whose girths
came Stanton. At their.Y.C. post, Gibraltar and Stanton
drew towards the leaders, who, as they approached the
bend into the straight, were beaten, leaving Gibraltar pos-
session of the lead, which he retained to within the
distance, where Stanton got to his head, the pair run-
ning locked together to the enclosure, where Stanton,
getting his head in front, won very easily at last by three
lengths. Buckfoot, who headed Nu at the stand, finished
a wretched third ; Nu and Joe Maley cantered in a long
way in their rear.
The Walton Handicap, of 5 soya each, with 25 sovs
added, for all ages. Winners extra. Five furlongs. 13

Juliet got away in front, but after running a few strides
she was headed by the favourite, who came on with a de-
cided lead, which he retained to the end, and won in a
canter by a length. Gemma and Belgrave, who got up
opposite the Stand, finished with a dead heat for second.
Juliet was fourth, close up ; Regenerator was fifth, Grisette
sixth, and Usher next. The last three were Cotillon,
Generalissimo, and Chicquot the Jester, the latter having

The race was run in a heavy fall of snow, Diana making
the running, lwring Snowball, Byfield, and Joseph as his
immediate followers, the rear division being brought up
by tho favourite and Tommy. Proceeding along the
meadows !the two leaders were joined by the favourite,
their followers at the same time becoming widely spread.
On entering the straight Snowball gave way, and his

place 'was taken by Byfield, who ran with Diana to the dis-
tanciJ, where Little Goy came out and won in a canter by
fou': lengths. A length separated the second and third ;
Snowball was fourth, Wild Duck fifth, Tommy sixth, and
ighton next. The last three were Eily O'Connor,

The Subscription Rooms to-day were again thinly at-
tended, and the only noteworthy features of the business
were the "knocking out" of Grinder for the Northampton
shire Stakes, and the further decline of Breadalbane for the
Two Thousand Guineas. Nothing was done on the
Derby. Closing prices :

A continuance of the winter weather produced a smaller
attendance, but the sport was of a better order. The Two-
Year-Old Stakes brought out a large field of candidates for
future fame, among them Qui Vive and Proserpina the most
conspicuous, though Alberta, a slashing King Tom filly
with fine action, found many admirers. After a delay of
five and thirty minutes they got off, and the first hundred
yards decided the issue of tho race, the favourite Qui Vive
getting quickly on his legs, and, with the exception of
Proserpine, who kept up with him for a short distance,
literally running away from his field. The Great War-
wickshire Handicap only had five starters, and Stanton,
reversing her yesterday's running, defeated old Gibraltar
after a race between the two from the entrance of the
straight by three lengths. The snow had been threaten-
ing all the morning came on heavily just previous to the
race for the Union Hunt Cup, and it was with some diffi-
culty the colours of the jockeys could be made out from
the Stand. It was won with great ease by the favourite,
Little Goy. Princess Dagmar bolted with her rider, Murray,
before the Selling Race, and, jumping a gate at the bottom
of the course, flung him heavily. He was, of course, se-
verely shaken, but no bones were broken. The Hurdle
brought the afternoon's sport to a conclusion in better
weather, with a prospect of its lasting.
The Debdale Stakes of 5 sovs each, with 25 added, for
horses carrying 12st each, that have been regularly and
fairly hunted. Winners extra ; with certain allow-
ances. Two miles. 6 subs.
