;PRICE 4d.S TAMPED 5d..

Duke of Beaufort and other distinguished sportsmen were
very hearty in personal congratulations, and the episode
was one which must still further strengthen the friendly
relations between the two countries. Gladiateur has proved
himself one of the best horses of modern times, and in
winning the Two Thousand, Derby, and St. Leger, he has
eclipsed West Australian by adding another splendid
trophy in the• Grand Prize of Paris. Harry Grimshaw
never rode a better race in his life, as he judged tho pace
exquisitely, and brought up his horse in a style that esta-
blishes him as one of the finest horsemen of the age. As
soon as the race was decided the crowd commenced to dis-
perse, and, owing to the departure of the t►ain, we are
compelled to close our remarks, leaving the subjoined de-
tailed report to furnish more minute information:—
The Municipal Stakes of 200 sous each, li ft ; for two-yr-

Lord Glasgow's Toxophilite colt, Bst 101 b (Custance 3
Betting-6 to 4on Sans Si, 100 to 30 agst each of the
others.

Gunlock made play with a clear lead, the Toxophilite
being second, with the favourite in close attendance to the
bend, where Lord Glasgow's colt headed Gunlock, and the
pair came on in close company to the distance, where
Sans Si split the pair and took the lead ; but Gunlock
challenging Sans Si at the commencement of the Stand,
the pair finished a fine race, which ended in the defeat of
Sans Si by a neck; Lord Glasgow's colt beaten three
lengths from the second.
Handicap Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 109
added, for two-yr-olds ; winners after September 7 to

Prince and Wild Beauty, 100 to 6 each agst Proserpine,
Mariana, Grey Stocking, Miss Harriette, and Tormentor,
20 to 1 each agst Venturer and Callipolis.

The start was delayed for a considerable time by the
anxiety of several jockeys to get away, but at length they
were despatched on equitable terms, with the exception of
Acta3a, who got badly off. The remainder ran in a body
for a few hundred yards, when Crown Prince showed in
front with Alberta as his immediate attendant. As they
approached the distance, the majority of the large field
became tailed off, but the position of the leaders was un-
disturbed, and though Grimshaw made strenuous efforts
on Alberta he never could reach Crown Prince, who won
easily by four lengths; a neck divided the second and
third ; the Czar, who was eased at the Stand, was fourth,
Hawkswell fifth, Callipolis sixth ; the last lot comprising
Miss Harriette, Shamrock, and Acte3a, the latter walking in.

The preliminary canters and the march in Indian file in
front of the Stand were watched with the greatest inte-
rest, and the excitement was at its greatest height when
Mr. M'George conducted the field of horses to the start-
ing-point. So accustomed have the public baen to delays
that the spectators were surprised when the signal was
givin directly the competitors had got into their places,
and the flag was lowered to an excellent start. After
going a few strides Klarinska, with the Duke and
Walcot, at once took up the running; Zambesi,
Breadalbane, and Peeress heading the ruck, Gla-
diateur and Dux bringing up the rear. They
ran thus along the stretch, but the Whitewall
maro was fully two lengths in advance when they disap-
peared behind the hill. Upon reappearing in sight Klarin-
ska was still in front, The Duke going on second, Zambesi
(who had taken third place upon Walcot's retirement)
following, Peeress in close attendance upon Mr. Merry's
colt, the rose jacket of Mr. Chaplin being distinguishable
next, heading the ruck, conspicuous among which were
Archimedes and Regalia ; four of the ragged lot, Heir-at-
Barbarossa, Dux, and Red Earl dropping far astern.
Approaching the mile-post The Duke drew up to Klarinska,
and held a slight lead upon crossing the road, the remain-
der, headed by Peeress and Breadalbane, following in
Indian file to the rifle butts, where Gladiateur improved
his position, amidst a shout from the spectators of " The
Frenchman's coming," he continued to draw forward stride
by stride as they approached the Red House, where Peeress
took second place, and at the half-mile post was in close
attendance upon The Duke, and from this point Klarinska
'gradually dropped back, and Gladiateur became third, fol-
lowed round the bend by Breadalbane, Zambesi, Regalia,
and Archimedes. Before fairly reaching the straight Peeress
retired beaten, and The Duke, amidst great excitement,
was joined by the Frenchman, Regalia taking third place,
Archimedes and Breadalbane, next the rails, going on fourth
and fifth. The Duke seemed without an effort before
reaching the distance, and. Archimedes made a rush ; but
directly Harry Grimshaw set the Frenchman going in
earnest Archimedes was in trouble, and Regalia, therefore,
became second, and raced to overhaul Gladiateur, who,
however, came on, and won with the greatest ease by three
lengths ; the Oaks winner beating Archimedes by three
lengths ; The Duke, three lengths in rear of Lord Stam-
ford's horse, was fourth ; Breadalbane fifth, Sister to
Ascham (who ran through a " beaten" lot at the finish)
was sixth, Peeress seventh ; Klarinska, and Zambesi next,
at wide intervals, followed by Heir-at-Law, Barbarossa,
and Walcot, who finished in a cluster, the last two who
came in with the crowd being Dux and Red Earl.
After the race Mr. Graham, the owner of Regalia,
lodged a protest against the stakes being paid over to
Gladiateur until his mouth had undergone examination.
Upon this the stewards of the meeting conferred with the
stewards of the Jockey Club, and the latter authorities con-
firmed the decision which has already been published, ad-
verse to the owner of Regalia, and the matter may now be
considered settled.

They were despatched to a different start, the most con-
spicuous of the fdremost lot being Lion, Holstein, and
Thalassius, who led the way to the bend, when Lion
dropped back, and Muezzin drawing up to Holstein chal-
lenged him at the distance, whence a good race ended in
favour of Muezzin by a head ; two lengths separated the
second and third, Sundeelah was a bad fourth, Olmar
next, Lion and Celerrima next, the last of all being
Valeria.

Qui Vive was first off, but was soon headed by King
Hal, who carried on the running into the straight, whore
Repulse, who had been lying well up, took close order, and
challenging the Marquis of Hastings' colt at the half dis-
tance, quitted him and won cleverly by a length and a
half ; Broomielaw was a bad third ; Miss Harriette fourth,
Ambition next, the others finishing in straggling order.

Exciting Scene at a Belgian Watering Place.

A Bruges paper publishes the following :—" An

Blankenberge. On Friday last two German young
girls went together into the sea to bathe. They,
however, advanced too far, and were observed by
the people on shore to be in great want of assist-
ance. A young man, M. T ,of Liege, perceiv-
ing their danger, rushed forward to their assistance.
He swam towards the spot where they were strug-
gling to keep themselves afloat, and was fortunate
enough to reach them. But the young girls clung
to him so fast that they paralysed his exertions. The
gallant young man, however, made the most heroic
efforts to snatch them from the dreadful fate which
appeared at one time to be inevitable. At times
compelled to break from their deathlike grip, in
order to save himself from total destruction, the
girls sunk again and again under the waters. He,
however, as often raised them to the surface. The
fearful struggle being observed from shore by thou-
sands of persons, two of the gardes des bains jumped
into a boat and rowed out to the help of the drown-
ing party. Not a moment was to be lost, for the whole
three were almost exhausted by their frantic efforts
to keep themselves above the waves. They were
dragged at length into the boat, one of the ladies
having fainted away, whilst the other was for a time
apparently insensible and powerless. M. T—,
however, was the worst of the entire party, uncon-
scious of every one around him, and dreadfully
scratched and torn by the efforts of the young
ladies to cling to him. The young ladies were soon
recovered. Not so the gallant rescuer, whose
strength was entirely exhausted, and who was suf-
fering, in addition, from the quantity of salt water
which he had swallowed. He was immediately
conveyed to an apartment in the Kursaal, where he
was attacked by a violent fever, which apparently
indicated the approach of death. His parents were
summoned by telegraph to his bedside, where
already the chief physicians and the priest were
found discharging their respective functions. One
universal feeling of lamentation and anxiety per-
vaded the multitude that thronged around the place
eager to learn the latest reports as to the condition
of the patient, and all dancing and amusements
were for that evening suspended at the Kursaal.
On Saturday morning M. T— was considered a
little better, but still faint hopes were entertained
of hiii recovery. An eye-witness adds that, on the
very evening of the day of this accident, and while
M. T.— was lying prostrate, in the utmost danger
of death, in consequence of his generous devotion
to save the lives of others, the two young ladies
whom he had saved were observed to promenade
the digue amidst a numerous company, and to make
themselves particularly remarkable by their bois-
terous gaiety and their romping behaviour. This
unbecoming demeanour was made the subject of
general comment."

SUSPECTED POISONING OF A SHIP CAPTAIN AND
HIS MATE AT SUNDERLAND.—On Tuesday George
Edwards, a young man, was brought before the Sunderland
magistrates on a charge of attempting to poison William
Sings, master of the tbrigantine Balaklava, and his mate.
The master and his mate sat down to tea made by the pri-
soner at six o'clock on Monday night, and observed some
darkish substance floating in the teapot. Soon after tea
they were seized with most violent retchings, and pro-
ceeded on shore for medical assistance. They did not re-
member where they got to, until they found themselves in
the police station, suffering to all appearance from poison-
ing. A surgeon was sent for, and emetics administered.
The rest of the crew who had coffee were not affected. The
teapot was secured, and the prisoner was taken into cus-
tody. There was no reason assigned why the prisoner
should have attempted to poison the captain. He was re-
manded in order that an analysis of the remaining contents
of the teapot and the vomit might be made.
COMMERCIAL MEN AND COMMERCIAL INNS.—
Trusted by large firms with the whole conduct of
their business in the part of the country that they travel
over, receiving immense sums of money, and entirely be-
yond any direct control, they must be men of some merit.
They have also, if they would see their advantages, plenty
of opportunity of gathering practical information. My pre-
sent reason for troubling you is chiefly to add my small
mite of evidence to the already pretty large stock that has
from time to time been collecting against some of their pre-
vailing rules. Why should they be subject to the every-
day risk to their health of consuming at mid-day a pint of
hotel wine? Yet it is so. Say a man is thrown into a
town for an hour or, two in the middle of the day, and
finds

They
at one o'clock, the first in the room being Mr. President,
and our friend Mr. Vice, One has fish placed before him,
performing
exchange
the other soup, and then say a leg of mutton and turkey,
sweets, &c. Now, by their understood tariff of charges,
whatever the dinner may be, the landlord can only
charge 2s. each for it; so by a clumsy device, in order to
pay the landlord for his outlay, they are expected and
must order a pint of wine each. It happened to me the other
day, under exactly similar circumstances, that I had topay
3s. for wine, 2s for dinner, and 3d to the waitress. Now, who
likes to drink a pint of wine at such an hour, and then have
to do business the whole afternoon ? By all means let those
who do indulge as much as their inclination may suggest ;
but why should young men going on the road for the first
time and naturally overawed, be compelled to comply with
such an absurd custom ? Then at bedtime, on the under-
standing that their bed is charged only Is., these commercial
men are expected to consume at least a shilling's worth of
spirits, &c. I know of no other class of men who drink a
pint of wine at 1 o'clock ; and I do not think that bagmen,
as a rule, come from a class who when at home have exten-
sive cellars at command. By all means, let the landlord be
paid for what he provides ; but why charge so little, or
why provide so liberally ? Besides, he defeats his object,
as many men, being afraid to encounter such pulls upon
their heads and purses, do not, when travelling, dine at
all, but make up for lost time at a meat tea, which the
landlord, by the same unwritten laws, must only charge
is. 9d. for. When will landlords and travellers see that
no one is a gainer by such customs ? Many, many a man
turns out a drunkard in consequence, as the pint frequently
becomes a bottle ; and on Sunday an extra expensive din-
ner requires an extra consumption of wine ; and so it goes
on. The money spent on pints and bottles of wine, not
to mention the spirits, during a 20 or 30 years' life on the
road, must amount to a large sum, and partly accounts for
the touching appeals to the commercial public that one
so frequently sees stuck in commercial-room looking-glasses
in behalf of the members of travellers' families who have
been, by the father's death, left utterly unproVided for. In
some few cases, and in some districts, there are " ordi-
naries," where no wine is expected to be drunk, and yet
good dinners are provided ; and why should it not be so in
all towns and commercial inns ? lam no teetotaller, and
can drink a pint of wine or a pint of water at dinner, and
would not trouble myself to write this or ask the favour of
you to insert it, unless I thought it might perhaps do some
good. Ido not like to see young fellows, new to the road,
with red eyes and muddled brains, leaving midday dinners
for a difficult afternoon's work. Many strongly object to
having to take wine ; others, God help them ! think that
they have done the fast thing by doing so.—Letter of
"Bagman," in Liverpool Mercury.

rA.DVERTISEMENT.—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Sores which are daily extending, ulcers which are hourly
deepening, may be arrested in their torturing progress and
induced to take a healthy action by applying this healing
ointment and taking those purifying pills. It soothes ali
distempers of, and extracts all morbid humours from, the
skin. Old ulcers of the legs, inflammations caused by
varicose veins, and cramps of the lower limbs can sensibly
be eased and shortly cured by Holloway's never-failing
ointment, which represses excessive and stimulates slug
gish vascular and nervous power. In constitutions break-
ing down under piles, fistulas, and other similarly painful
maladies, a few applications of this cooling ointment will
give comfort, and a persistence in its use will effect a curs.
