THE DISPUTED RACE FOR THE MEMBERS' PLATE AT
NEWCASTLE.—It may he remembered that in this race
Miss Ann, having won, was objected to by the trainer
of Shithead, on the ground that she carried 31b. over-
weight without declaring it halfan hour More the race.
On behalf ot the objection i: rns proved that the over-
weight was carried, and that no declaration was posted
until twenty minutes before the time at which the race
was advertised to be run. Oa the part ut the winner
it was shown that the declaration was made to the judge'
—and to the clerk of the scales—neither of whom con-
sidered it to be their duty to receive it. When the pro-
per official was at last found, and the declaration duly
made, it wanted only twenty minutes to the prescribed
time of starting, but from various delays the race was not
run until fifteen minutes after the appointed time. Under
all these circumstances, the stewards of the Jockey Club,
to whom the question was referred from Newcastle, de-
cided that the declaration was sufficient. It would be
well if in future the stewards of country meetings would
adopt and publish the rule that all declarations respect-
ing weights should be made to the clerk of the scales—
who is certainly the proper person to receive and deal
i with these matter:.

ENTRIES IN FICTITIOUS NAMES.—A feeling is abroad
adverse to this time-honoured custom of the turf, and
some recent occurrences have caused its inconvenience
to be slightly- felt. Nevertheless, the veil is very con-
venient, without b:longing in the least degree to that
class of deception which attach discredit to their perpe-
trators. In fact, in nine cases out of ten no deception is
intended. The only object is to protect a personal
identity from the keen eyes of curiosity or prejudice. It
is a pity that so fair a screen should not remain avail-
able for proper purposes and honest men, who yet may
be unwilling to parade their names upon the turf. Per-
haps some middle c,urse might be adopted to preserve
au honourable incognito, without risk of the evils which
are now justly made the subject of complaint. Parties
entering horses in a fictitious name, might at the same
time be bound to send their own names to the secretary
of the Jockey Club, in confidence, to be revealed by him
only in ease the party entering should make default, or
otherwise become amen ibb.b to turf law. Thus the pre-
sent evils would be obviated, without attaching odium to
a practice which, like many other useful customs, is only
dishonoured in its abuse.
EPSOM AUTUMN MEETING —That indefatigable turf
commissary, Dorling, has succeeded in establishing &
third meeting at Epsom. It was originally designed to
have come in between the Newmarket first and second
October meetings. To this the Jockey Club demurred,
on the ground that it would interfere with their es-
tablished stakes. Tuesday, the 18th September, is al&
day finally selected-5001. will be given in public money
—and if the meeting but receives the patronage it seems
to merit, we shall no doubt enjoy a vet), good day's
sport in the autunin4l gathering at Eps,,m.
Abing,lon races are " postponed until further notice.
The Produce Sttles are ann, uneed to be " off by con-
sent." Altogether, this looks very much as it the whole
affiir were " off by consent " for ever and a day.

THE LORD'S DAY Acr.—A return moved for by
Mr. C. Blring Wall, shows that the number of persons
convicted in Ecgland and Wales, under the Act of
Charles 11., commonly called the "Lord's Day Act." in
the year 1848, amounted to 151. The offences consisted
of " driving cattle through the streets to the terror of
church goers;" "playing at unlawful games during
" Divine service;' " " exercising their worldly calling;.
" travelling with a waggon;" "driving lime-carts,
" driving- aszes end mules laden with coals," and " work-
ing on railwayi."
CREMORNE-GARDENS.—Yesterday the first of a
series of aquatic amusements was exhibited on the river
in front of the garden's of this place, in the presence of
a great number of people. There v..ere combats, both
with 14nces and swords, between men belonging to the
Blues; teats of strength and activity between several
wreAlers of tirst-rate celebrity; tilting at the quintain,
&c.; and the curious exhibition of walking the oscil-
latory pole," or, in other words, a bowsprit projecting
