THIS WEEK'S MEETINGS.

---- -
The earlier meetings of this week are those of the
Bibury Club, Odiham, and Stockbridge. The Odiham
meeting commences on Tuesday. The Field makes
the following observations :—" For the Odiham
Handicap (1i miles) twenty-two horses have been
named, and the pick of these are. Robespierre,
Bst. 71b.; Kennington. Set. 61b ; Choral, 7st lllb (inc. 711;
extra) ; and La Sorrentina, 6st. 41b. At a mile and a half
Kennington would probably have defeated Choral in the
Surrey and Middlesex stakes at Hampton ; and if the pair
again meet, we apprehend that the Northumberland Plate
hero will be found the better of the two. The Hurstboume
Welter Handicap (1 mile) to which there are fifteen nomi-
nations, should fall to Fitz-Ivan or Traveller : the Grey-
well Hillt Plate (4 furlongs) to Juliet or Wilful; and
the Manor Plate (6 furlongs) to Barcelona or
April Morn. In the Dogmersfield Park Stakes (4
furlongs) twenty-five two-year-olds have been handi-
capped, and Constantine, Bst. 121 b. with all his weight, will
be dangerous. Capt Machell's colt, however, may fail to
beat the elected of H. Goatees pair— Our Tom or Miss
Laura—to one of whom the race may be awarded. Bell's
Life says that for the Odiham Handicap Toby and
Choral ought to rim well, and the Dogmersfield
Park Stakes may perhaps be won by the
Cecil's dam filly or Our Tom. With a run, we
shall not look beyond Juliet for the winner of the Greywell
Hill Plate. The Sporting Life says :—The Greywell
Hill Plate of 50 soya, for all ages, has twenty-four
subscribers, the handicap having evidently been carefully
prepared. The pick of the lot appear to me to be the top-
weight, Antias (Bst I21b), Simplon (Bst), Wilful (6st 101 b),
and Royal Exchange (6st 81b). In the Manor Plate (three-
quarters of a mile)) those striking me as being best in are
Traveller (5 yrs, 7st 71b), Satellite (3 yrs, Est 81b), and
Malaria (6st). The Dogmersfield Park Stakes has obtained
twenty-five subscribers, the weights ranging from Bst.
121 b. (which has been assigned to Captain Machell's Con-
stantine) down to 7st, which Mr. R. J. Woodman's
Olive will have to carry. Not more than half a dozen
of the lot have run in public, and most of these have
performed very moderately. Knowing but little respecting
any of the dark horses, I must pass them over, my choice
resting on the filly by Lord of the Isles out of Cecil's
dam (Bst. 41b.), Houghton (Bst.), and Slashing Kitty
(7st. 21b.) The Hurstbourne Welter Cup— gentlemen
riders, professionals 71b. extra—will probably be won by
Robespierre (Bst. 71b.) or Simplon (7st. 121 b.)

The Architect hears that the second largest work
which the country has in hand—the completion of the
new Government Offices`—is stopped for some unexplained
reason.or other. The builders (it says) were actually pre-
paring their tenders for that work when they received
notice to stop " until further orders," and no further orders
have yet been received.
AssiZE COURTS AT PLYMOUTH.—The Town
Council at Plymouth have decided to expend £35,000 on
the erection of assize courts and other public buildings.
Twelve firms, from Beth, Salisbury, Exeter, Plymouth,
Tavistock, and Saltash, tendered, the difference between
the highest and lowest being £2,900. The tender of
Messrs. Call and Pethick, Plymouth, for the sum above-
named, was accepted on Thursday.

The "anti-surplice demonstrations" at Ashton-in-
Makerfield have led to proceedings before the magistrates
being taken against several of the persons implicated. On.
Friday seven men and two women were fined in the aggre-
gate £26105., on information laid by the police, and eight
other persons were committed for trial for riot. In the
case of three of the persons, who were described as ring-
leaders, the magistrates refused to accept bail, and they
were accordingly removed in custody.
REVISION OF THE AUTHORIZED VERSION.—The
revisers of the authorised version of the New Testament
will meet for their next session on July 13, at the Juru-
salem Chamber, at eleven o'clock, and will sit for three
days. The session just past has given much satisfaction to
allpresent. Several questions of anature to test the charac-
ter and composition of the company have been discussed
with perfect harmony. The progress has been quite as
great as could have been expected. A large number of
preliminary questions, involving general principles of
criticism and interpretation, and affecting the whole course
and conduct of the work, were necessarily raised by the
emendations proposed, and have now been agreed upon.
[ADVERTISEMENT. I—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Maternal sohcitude.—What anxiety, pain, aid discomfort
would be avoided were these invaluable domestic remedies
ready at hand. In the nursery Holloway's preparations
prove invaluable. Quinsey, sore throat, diphtheria,
measles, and scarlatina are cured by it. The Ointment
must be diligently rubbed upon the affected parts till a
large proportion has been absorbed by the pores. Its
cooling and sedative qualities soon relieve all pain, arrest
all inflammation, subdue all serious symptoms, and safely
reconduct the sufferer back to health. The Ointment
heals ulcers, sores, and scurvy. When Holloway's Pills
are taken to augment the healthful action of the unguent
few diseases in the young or adult can withstand their
power, and none can entirely resist it.
