IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN

WATER-PROOFING GENTLEMEN'S
CLOTHING, which, while it renders it completely im-
pervious to wet, is totally free from all the objections attendant
upon the present system.
The process is applicable to any description of material or gar-
ment, and neither alters its appearance, impedes free perspiration,
produces rheumatism, or unpleasant smell.
In fact, such is its superiority, that when generally known it will
doubtless entirely supersede the unsightly and unhealthy articles at
present in use.
Waterproof garments at an unimportant additional charge fur-
nished, or the materiti (either before or after made up) rendered
waterproof, by

Portland's f. by Zinganee, out of Ruth, Bst. 21b.
The Match between D'Egville and Mecca, and a Selling Sweep-
stakes of 10 sovs. each, are to be run, but are too uninteresting to
deserve an express.
The following is a list of the arrivals :—Dukes of Rutland and
Portland ; Marquises of Exeter and Tavistock ; Lords Stradbroke,
Suffield, Maidstone, Cantalupe, Lichfield (and Countess), J. Fitz-
roy, C. Manners, G. Bentinek, S. Osborne, W. Paulet, and Go-

ville, Shelley, Roberts, Newcombe, M. Campbell,: Hungerford,
Feulis, &c.

The following are a few additional particulars of the races de-
cided on Tuesday :
Plate.—Canute took the lead and kept it, with the ruck well laid
up, till they reached the cords, where the Mysie colt challenged him,
and, after a fine race to the chair, won by a neck. Montreal, the
Amima filly and Citron were next. Captain Daintree's colt by
Redgauntlet, out of Columbine, eras mounted for starting, but
turned restive, plunged till he threw his rider, broke away, and did
not start.

Clearwell.—After three false starts the lot got away in most
admirable order, Reel leading at a great pace, followed by Shoveler
and Vale of Belvoir. This trio maintained their positions to the
end, Reel winning by half a length cleverly, and the Shoveler filly
beating Vale of Belvoir by a head. Bustle was at the latter's quar-
ters, and Bulwark fifth, two or three lengths behind; the others
were beaten off. Lord Lichfield's mare was weighed for the race,
but did not run. Bulwark carried 71bs. extra.
A draft from Lord Exeter's stud was put up for sale this morning,
but none sold except Brother to Cactus, for 89 guineas.
