distance was joined by Eliza. A. very fine race in with
the two ended in favour of the latter by a head. Two
lengths between the second and third. Jessamine lost
start and was fourth, Michaelmas Maid next.
The list of sport to-day was only attractive to regular
turfits and professional bookmakers. Ali the charac-
teristics of an "off day" were displayed. The hill was
deserted, the muster of spectators on each side of the
course was scanty, and policemen and other officials on
active service lounged about in evident enjoyment of
their sweet do-nothingness.
Beautiful weather enhanced the pleasure of a "quiet
day out."

EXPLOSION OF GAS IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.—
Yesterday afternoon, about five minutes past 4 o'clock,
while the House of Commons was engaged with the pri-
vate bills, the members were suddenly startled by a
report like that from the discharge of a small cannon—
a flash of flame, and the breaking of glass. It was some

the result of an accumulation of gas in one of the burners
under the left gallery, which by some means ignited.
The new windows were thrown open immediately toclear
the house of the strong smell of gas which
pervaded it,
and the business was proceeded with.
