MEETING THIS DAY.
The sixth half-ye:trly meeting of this company was held
to-clay, at the Victoria-station, Westminster—Sir Cusack
P. Roney, the chairman. of the company, presiding.
The report and statement of the accounts, which have
been published, havirtg been taken as read,
The CHAIRMAN said that the line was not opened for
traffic to the high level station until the Ist instant, and
the works were in a rather incomplete state. The inter-
mediate stations at Denmark-hill and Peckham were
not yet opened, and the same was the case with
reference to Lordship 'Lane, Honoroad, and Nunhead line,
but they were in progress, and he hoped would soon be
finished. They had not yet had ready means of access
from the City, but as soon as the extensions in progress
with the Great Northern and other companies were com-
pleted, they would ricquire increased facilities of commu-
nication between the most important points, which could
not fail to increase largely their traffic. Theg had no
reason to complain of their present success, for during
the first week filly carried between 4,000 and 5,000
passengers, in the second week 10,000, and in the
third week 10,000. They had only' nineteen t rains
running at present, but when their arrangements were
fully carried out there was no doubt that number would be
doubled. He concluded by moving the adoption of the re-
port and statement of accounts.
Sir C. H. S. Elm seconded the motion, which was agreed
to.

Thanks were then voted to the chairman and the board
of directors for the able manner in which they had admi-
nistered the affairs of the company. -
The CHAIRMAN, in acknowledging the compliment, said
he was confident when they met the shareholders next
half-year, the directors would be able to show that this line
would prove a paying and a profitable undertaking.
The proceedings then terminated.

SPORTING IN TELLIGEN CE.

YORK AUGUST MEETING—TuEsDAy.

Racing, to the real lover of the sport, has been dull and
uninteresting work since Goodwood. Brighton, with the
exception of the contest for the Cup, was below par, while
Reading, Egham, and Oxford have been only distinguished
for plating form and an excess of half-mile spins. One turns
therefore to Knavesmire with a feeling of relief, secure of
finding on ground, so rich in the traditions of the past, a
renewal of those contests that have almostmade a household

word of its name.
The York August has only one hostile element arrayed
against it—the grouse. Sportsmen hardly like to quit their
moors in the first flush of the season, even to see the Great
Yorkshire or the Great Ebor run for, and the young ones
the Convivial or the Gimcrack may show them ; but to-day
there was a fair share, and more than a fair one, on the pri
vate and subscription stands of the rank and fashion of the
West Riding. The skies were propitious, and the going,
with the exception of the ground being holding in places,
might be considered good.
Hornblower, a tremendous favourite for the first event,
the Zetland Stakes, disposed of his pretensions for the Ebor
on the morrow by shutting up directly they began to race,
and Ambition won cleverly. The rich Black Duck Stakes
of 1,000 sovs each, was a walk over for Lord Stamford with
the "dark" Esca, Lord Coventry and Lord Glasgow com-
pounding for £3OO each forfeit ; and Peeress made an ex-
ample of her field in the Chesterfield Handicap, extinguish-
ing Nemo, a stable companion of Hornblower, and also a
candidate for Great Ebor honours. The big race seems
dwindling down into a small compass. The greatest surprise
of the day was in the Yorkshire Oaks, where the little
thought of Klarinska, who was nearly last off, ran through
her horses, and won in the commonest of canter, by five
lengths ; Siberia, who in the Newmarket Craven teat her
by 15 lengths, here running second ; while the favourite,
White Duck, was positively last.
The Zetland Stakes, of 5 sow each, with 100 added, for all
ages ; weights for age ; winners extra ; the second to
save his stake. One mile. 14 subs.

riette, 6 to 1 agst Windham, 10 to 1 each agst Ambition
and Fitzroy, and 100 to 6 agst any other.
Through the fractiousness exhibited by Kate Hampton,
who repeatedly refused to face the flag, the start was de-
layed some time. At last the flag was lowered, when they
left in close company, Proserpine in the centre, having a
slight lead of Windham and Ambition, close up with whom
were seen Miss Harriette (wide on their right), Horn-
blower, and Retrousse, who ran in company to the bend
in to the straight, where Windham dropped into the rear,
and his place taken by Ambition, next the rails, who
headed Proserpine in the next half-dozen strides, and came
on with a slight lead to the distance, where she was joined
by. Retrousse and Fitzroy. From this point a close and
interesting race ensued between the four; Ambition, who
always appeared to have the best of it, running the longest,
and winning, rather cleverly at last, by half a length ; a
similar distance separated the second and third ; Proser-
pine, who finished fourth, was a length in their rear; Miss
Harriette was fifth, close up, Windham sixth, Blackface
seventh, and Hornblower and Dart, side by side, next.
Treasure Trove, Sister to Strafford, and Countess were the

and came on with the running, having Peeress, Flying
Horse, Exceller, and Red Earl as her immediate followers

to the T.Y.C. post, where the former disappeared from the
front, and her place was then taken by Peeress, who came
on next the rails with a clear lead, which she retained to
the half distance, where Exceller, having ran through his
horses, joined her, but, dying away as they passed the
stand, he was beaten cleverly by three parts of a length, a
length separated the second and third, Zenobia was fourth,

Lallah Rookh, the pair coming on two or three lengths in
advance of Gardevisure, close up with whom were Siberia,
Miss Hobble, and Klarinska, Mr. Saxon's School Girl drag-
ging her slow length along in their rear. On reaching the
mile-post Siberia ran into the third place, and followed the
leaders into the straight, whin Mr. Bowes's colt also drew
forward. As they crossed the road the favourite was seen
in difficulties, and was shortly after headed by Siberia,
who, half-way down, was passed by Klarinska, who came

up on the rails and won in a canter by five lengths, Siberia
defeating Gardevisure by a couple of lengths. Lallah Rookh
finished a bad fourth, Miss Hobble fifth, and White Duck

next. School Girl, who was last throughout, did not pass
