THE TURF.
The following case occurred at the Northern Meeting Races
(Inverness), and is now before the Jockey Club, on a reference
from the Stewards and parties concerned. It le quoted here as
a curious question. A large stake was held out " for ponies
not exceeding 13 hands," and alt the ponies entered for it stood
under the seandittd, according to the only mode of immurement
known by the turf---tuunelY, by being placed (with plates, or
without shoes) on a surface of five feet on by two and it half
wide. Before starting, hovrevei, the usual mode of measurement
was objected to by some of the parties, and one of the ponies
being above the height (something less thaii half an inch) in
hie ordinary standing position, the race was run under protest ;
it was won by the pony objected to, and the case has in conse-
quence come before the Jockey Club. The point to be deter-
mined is, whether pony races fall to be regulated by the rules
applicable to all other races, where no other rules arc laid down ?
This question, is no doubt, somewhat new, and It is high time
it should be eettled; but the wnnder-is, that it should ever have
been put. The merest tyro on the turf is aware of the standard
or mode of measurement referred to, and it Appears to be past
all doubt that it must apply to every case whatever (whether
n
of licensed racers, country bred hoe', 'ponies, or hacks),
unless a different rule is laid down, and expressly made known
to the parties who are induced to come forward. It may be
added, that the difference between the racing, measure rued the
other mode is so very trifling, that it cannot in any case amount
to more than half an inch in height; and it is 'known that
this is always given, whatever way is adopted. But our friends
in the North are great sticklers, and some of them perhaps (cc.
cording to their own saying), "if they get an inch might take
an ell."—(Edinburgh Obser'v'er.)

NAVAL ORATORY.--The 1 b
ce e rated WAWA,
while euzaging a Spanish fleet, lost one of his
ships, which blew up.
Seeing the spirit of his
crew damped by
this au, fill event,
he called
out, " 'Well, my wis, you have seen an Eng-
lish
ship blown up ; and now lets 4ce what
figure a Spanish one will make in the same situa-
tion." This harangue raised the spirits of his
men, and in less than an hour he set his anta-
gonist on fire.
