SPORTING NOTES.

THE YORK MEETING.
The latest " advices" from York are calculated to in-
crease the speculations of a meeting of, surpassing inte-
rest and importance. Up to last night, indeed, few
horses had arrived, but the demand for stabling accom-
modation was rapidly becoming more frequent and
pressing. Among the horses which were located in Old
Ebor when my "despatch" was closed were liospodar,
Ivan, and Tros. The intelligence which I received wa,,,
however, somewhat scanty and uninteresting, " my com-
missioner" closing his brief letter of advice with the
laconic remark that'" Tros looks well."

The condition of the course is most satisfactory, and
indeed no trouble has evidently been spared to render
the ground "good going." The Grand Stand, too, has
been enlarged and fresh painted, and the work of pre-
paration has been carried on under the. personal super-
intendence of Mr. W. North. •

The most important and interesting event on the first
clay will be the North and South Biennial Stakes,
which last year were ruu for by two-yrs-old at Good-
wood, and were won by Marsyas, who then beat
Scythian and King Tom. Whether, however, he is
destined to achieve the double victory is somewhat
doubtful. Turfites have had no opportunity of giving
a definite opinion as to his present form, for his only
performance this year was for the Derby ; and a few
months prior to that race he had been notoriously amiss.
King Toni will perhaps, as I stated on Saturday, be
withdrawn, and his stable companion, Middlesex, will
doubtless do battle for Baron Rothschild. Which horse
will be selected as the trusted representative of Scott's
lot is difficult to determine. Dervish may be reserved
either for the Great Yorkshire Stakes on Friday, or
saved and " bolted up" exclusively for the St. Leger.
Either Scythian or Acrobat may therefore be the cham-
pion for Whitewall. Both have a penalty of 31bs., but
should both start, I shall with Alfred Day unhesitatingly
prefer Acrobat to Scythian. From the " unpenalised"
division, I shall select Ivan and Middlesex, and should
John Scott make any mistake with respect to his lot, I
shall expect one of them to achieve the victory. -
Virago has an engagement in the Yorkshire Oaks, and
only one opinion exists as to the formidableness of her
chance. The stake is worth winning, and it is, there.
fore, probable she will contest it. Midsummer and
Meteora are also nominated for this event, but it is yet
uncertain whether the "flyer" will not frighten them
from the field. Midsummer will doubtless defeat
Meteora, but it is questionable whether she will for an
instant be capable of jeopardising the success of Virago.
Curiosity respecting Greulus Esurieus may be
gratified on Wednesday, as he is nominated for the
Convivial Stakes. In well-informed quarters, how-
ever, his starting is spoken of as extremely doubtful.
Oulston is also among the entries, and should he be brought
out the race will be regarded with peculiar interest.
Bonnie Morn, however, is my present " fancy ;" he will
doubtless, after all, be the intended of John Scott's
nominations.

For the Chesterfield Handicap I shall couple Domino
and Boddicot as being "dangerous,"and shall be inclined
to place some confidence in the chance of that one which
will carry the money of the confederated owners, Messrs.
Barber and Saxon. Ammonia, however, despite her
71bs. penalty, will be a most formidable competitor.
For the Burgundy Stakes I shall select Vindex.
_ .._

To-morrow I will extend my remarks to the-other
items contained in the programme. Since Saturday no
important movement has turned the tendency of specu-
lation on the Ebor Handicap. This day, however, at
"The Corner," some decided demonstration will perhaps
be made. I shall closely watch the market, and will
to-morrow indicate the most important movements, and
endeavour to determine the relative chances.

SUICIDE IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—LINCOLN, Aug.
18.—Yesterday afternoon between three and four o'clock
upon the carriage cleaner belonging to the Midland
Company at Lincoln opening a comrartment in one of
their first-class carriages discovered the lifeless body of
a gentleman. He was lying on the bottom of the carriage
on his face; there was lying on the floor an empty ounce
phial, which had evidently contained prussic acid.
There was also a razor lying near thereto ; the upper
and back part of both the linings of his bcots had been
recently cut away, as if with the purpose of preventing
his being recognised. A first-class ticket dated August
17, Birmingham to Derby, was found upon him, thus
showing that he must have left Birmingham by the train
which leaves that station at 11.20 p.m. on the 16th inst.,
en, route for Lincoln. He was of the middle height, and
rather a fine figure ; was attired in a plain black cloth
suit and black over-coat ; he. had an edition of " Paley's
Natural Theology" lying open ; also a carpet bag con-
taining some linen, none of which was marked, neither
was that on his person, with the exception of what
would appear to be a .1., such as is generally inserted
by the washerwomen, with a single piece of thread ;
neither was his umbrella, nor hat or gloves marked.
Upon his person was found two sovereigns and four
shillings in silver, a watch key, but no watch, and be-
twixt his shirt and flannel was found a locket of hair.
He appears to be betwixt 35 and 40 years of age, of very
agreeable and intellectual cast of. countenance. He is
one who has evidently moved in a very respectable
sphere of life. A jury was empanelled last night at the
Blue Anchor Inn in this city, before Mr. Hitchins,
coroner, and, as a matter of course, the inquest has
been adjourned until Monday next, on which day,
should he not meanwhile be recognised, he will be in-
terred. The carriage in which he was found formed one
of the mail train which reaches Lincoln from London,
&c., at 4,55 a.m., and which does not leave until 8.30
p.m.

VOLUNTARY STARVATION.—On Saturday, Mr. Bed-
ford held an inquest at the Jolly Millers, Millbank-street,
on the body of Mr. John Owen, aged 49, a superannuated
clerk in the Audit-office. From the evidence of Captain
H. A. Fawcett, R.N., and other witnesses, it appeared
that the deceased, who resided in Smith's-square, had
twice attempted to commit suicide, and his wife had left
him and gone to reside on the Continent for fear of her
life. He was in the habit of lying in bed for days toge-
ther without food, and had done so, on and off, for the
last five weeks. On Tuesday last his landlady went in-
to the country, and on her return on Thursday evening
she went to his room and knocked, and receiving no
answer, entered the apartment and found him dead. A
surgeon, who was called in, and who made a post mortem
examination, said he never saw a body so emaciated.
There was no food in the stomach, and there was no
doubt but the deceased had died from inanition from
want of food. The jury returned a verdict in accord-
ance with the medical testimony.

supported by enormous buttresses, apparently of vast
strength, fears had been for sometime felt with regard to
its stability. The central tower rose to about 80 feet,
and was one of the most conspicuous objects in the
town. On Saturday last an examination of the building
had taken place, at which it had been resolved to call in
an architect to make a further inspection. During the
night, some of the inmates are said to have heard a
crackling noise repeatedly occurring. In the morning
the dock stopped, and an old man who saw pieces of
mortar falling, went out into the yard, and persuaded
the other inmates to follow him. At the same time the
girls were at church, and the boys sitting in front of
the building, whilst the women were in the modern
-part. Mr. Nelson, the governor, attended by Mr.
Andrews, clockmaker, went up to the clock tower to see
what was amiss, and while they were there the fall took
place. They were carried down amongst an immense
mass of material, with several old men, who were extri-
cated comparatively uninjured, and whose escape was
miraculous. Had the fall taken place during the night
the loss of life would have been very serious. As it was
the less of life would have been far greater, except for
the circumstance of the Rev. J. Barnsley, the chairman
of the Board of Guardians, having caused the most
dangerous part of the building to be cleared of its
inmates that morning.
DEATH OF A LONDON CLERGYMAN FROM CHOLERA.
—Yesterday morning a profound feeling of gloom pre-
vailed in the congregation of St. John's-church, Notting-
hill, in consequence of an announcement made by the
senior curate, that the cholera had taken off the Rev.
Edwin Proctor Denniss, 8.C.L., the incumbent mini-
ster of the district. Notting-hill does not appear to havebeen visited with many severe cases of cholera ; but
not-
withstanding its reputed healthfulness, it iQ
very
liable
•
to severe attacks, being situated immediately above the
r
filthy Kensington potteries, so frequently made the sub-
jeet of complaint in sanitary reports.
