ADULTERATION OF COFFEE.

I In continuing to expose the adulterations practised
by London tradesmen; the Lancet during the past
few weeks has given the result of some renewed in-
vestigations regarding coffee and chicory. Out of 42
esh trials of coffee adulteration was detected in 31
samples, and very often under peculiarly disreputable
circumstance. In some cases, for example, houses
professing to sell pure coffee or coffee and chicory
mixed, according to the wish of their customers, are
discovered, nevertheless, to vend an adulterated article
on all occasions. One house, which parades its desire
to enable its friends to obtain genuine coffee by fur-
nishing them with mills at cost price, so that they
may grind it for themselves, nevertheless does not
hesitate to palm off the spurious mixture whenever
reliance is placed upon its own honour. Another,
which reminds the public that "quality is the test of
cheapness," sells a compound of which chicory is the
principal ingredient ; and the same is the case with
a house which is noticed as attracting customers
by expressly cautioning them against that "in-
iquitous " system. In fact, the most specious
puffs uniformly accompany the worst specimens,
and the words " warranted genuine" are used
to dispose of the vilest trash. The price at
which these preparations are sold is from ls. to Is.
4i• per lb., and their real value being about 6d. to
Bd., the extent to which the poor are defrauded may
easily be estimated. At the same time it appears that
under the encouragement of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer the resort to chicory is increasing, while
the revelations of the Lancet have succeeded in check-
ing the use of roasted corn, beans, and other cheaper
though not more objectionable substances, which
cannot be defended by the plea of Government pa,
tronage. The most daring delinquencies, however,
occur when the article is sold in canisters, packages,
or bottles—a circumstance which was to have been
expected, since, although the canister, &c., cost 2d.
or 3d., there is no difference in the price charged.
One adulterator upon a large scale calls parti-
cular attention to his signature, " without which
none is genuine," and another, who adopts a similar
plan, adds, "to counterfeit which is felony."
Some stuff described as the " celebrated Exhibition
coffee, consisting of a combination of the finest
coffees of all nations," contained scarcely anything
besides chicory, except a vegetable substance resem-
bling mangold-wurtzel. The taste and odour of an
analogous compound, called the " True Parisian
Coffee," were also very disagreeable. Out of 29
specimens purchased in this form the whole, with
only a single exception, were adulterated with chi-
cory, so as frequently to consist of little else, while
in five cases roasted wheat and substances resembling
mangold-wurtzel!and acorn were likewise detected.
In some degree, however, justice is now likely to be
done, since the Lancet boldly publishes the name and
address of every one of the parties, and although the
majority belong to poor districts, where it is not
likely a medical journal will extensively circulate,
yet there are many well-known west-end and city
shopkeepers included in the list. At the same time
mention is made of the firms whose coffee has been
found genuine. These are—Mr. Betts, Oxford-
street (second trial) ; Knight and Sons, Grace-
church-street (second trial); Ridgway and Co., King
William-street ; Henry Sharpe, Bishopsgate-street ;
E. Deane, Shoreditch ; Fortnum and Mason, Picca-
dilly ; Branscombe and Co., Pall-mall ; Dann John-
ston and Co., New Bond-street; G. Payne and Sons,
Regent-street ; Stanifortb, Oxford-street ; and W.
Holland, Oxford-street.
While coffee is adulterated principally with chi-
cory, chicory is understood to be in turn adulterated
with carrot, rnangold-wurtzel, dog-biscuit, red-earth,
horse chestnut, acorns, tan, mahogany sawdust,baked
horse's and bullock's liver, and burnt blood. Out of
23 samples tried by the Lancet, eleven were found to
contain spurious ingredients—such as roasted carrot,
wheat, and acorns, mahogany sawdust, mangold-
wurtzel, and Venetian red. With respect also to the
Chancellor of the Exchequer's defence of this
"wholesome and nutritious root," the public are
again reminded that apart from its inherent worth-
lessness, it is regarded as an aperient and diuretic,
and a question is raised whether the great increase
which is known to have taken place of late years in
renal disorders may not probably be traced to its use.
A belief is also expressed that from its narcotic cha-
racter it produces injurious effects on the nervous
system, and it is said that Professor Beer, of Vienna,
the celebrated German oculist, is so convinced of this
fact that he has enumerated chicory-coffee as among
the causes of amaurotic blindness.—Times.

REMINISCENCES OF THE DERBY.—OAKS

ANTICIPATIONS.

"The tree of knowledge has been pluck'd—all's known."
BYao2r.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sra,—The following observations, made in my various
Note s on the Derby, were realized, to the letter, by the
running yesterday. In Note, No. V., of the 31st
January, I remarked that Ariosto was no Derby
winner. That " the Lord of the Tournament may have
a tilt et Epsom fur the Olympic crown, but this year he
will most certainly be thrown over. That Midas had a
"diminutive outside chance." That Stebbing's sting
was a dead failure this year. That " Teddington has
been out five tunes and won twice—lie loohs well, and is
visibly improved since last October." That "Tom Dawson
is coming out with a CONSTELLATION, but it strikes me
very forcibly they are fixed stars, shining brightly enough
on • Middleham Moor, but, when removed, not likely
to do so on the Downs of Epsom. That
Storms understandings' are very cranky, and
likely to give way altogether in the course of a Derby
preparation." That " Mr. Clark's stout half•bred son of
Venison and a Defence mare, the Marlborough Buck, is
quite capable, I imagine, of repealing on a pinch the Hot•
spur dose of 1849." That " Lightpot is not worth a
thought!" That " Mr. Saxon's 'The Black Doctor will
find the company too good for him." That " Mr. Sc.
George's Brother to Chanticleer has been backed for a
good deal of money; all gone into the Sinking Fund."
In Note No. 51, of the 12th May, I remarked, that my
original Derby team, which consisted of the Prime Mi-
nister, Newminster, Lamartine, and Storm, had fallen uff
fromits high estate, but still thought that The Premier
had a chanceleft. That The Ban was " not equal to the
task of pulling through." Th at "Mr. Hill's Mountain Deer
will find his master again, as he did before, in Her-
nandez." That " great things are expected of The
seus—much more, in my opinion, than be can
accomplish." And, in my " Finishing touches to our
contribution to the Great National Exhibition on the
Downs Epsom," in Note No. 56, I gave it as my final
opinion that "Buckhound, England's Glory, Serus,
Azeth, colts by Epirus and Tearaway, Bro to Chanti-
cleer, Runnymede, The Black Doctor, Hungerford,
Newminster, Louis Napoleon, Guy Mannering, The
Tout, The Ban, Ariosto, Telescope, and Glenhawk"
might be " turned into the hopeless class; not one of them
possessing THE GHOST OF A CHANCE of winning!" Also
that " Midas, Constellation, Neasham, Mountain Deer,
Hippolytus, Bonnie Dundee, and Theseus," would
J 01771 the foremost portion of the ruck; NOT ONE OF THIS
SECOND LOT BEING GOOD ENOUGH TO WIN!" I also gave
as my opinion, that the first flight would " consist of
The Premier, The Buck, Hernandez, Teddington,
Heartbreaker, and Lamartine," placing The Premier
first, the Marlborough Buck second, and Teddington
third. Now, what was the result? Why, that Ted-
dington's trial was correct; for, tooled by Job Marlon, he
won, from the largest Derby field (33) on record, in acanter
by two lengths ! The Buck, under the guidance of
Whitehouse, was where I placed him, second; Neasham,
by sufferance, third by a neck from Hernandez; the
Premier fifth ; Lamartine sixth, The horses at the
head of the ruck were Theseus, Bonnie Dundee, Hip-
polytus, Midas, Heartbreaker, and Constellation. The
time (2 min. 51 secs.) was not equal to Surplice's in
1848, or Voltigeur's last year, but was superior to
Pyrrhus the First's, Cossack's and The Flying Dutch-
man's. It will be seen by the foregoing statement, that
though I did not exactly accomplish the feat of placing
the first three as they passed the post, I was as nearly
right as possible in every other respect ; the four I se-
lected to occupy the foremost places actually passing
Judge Clark's Chair, first, second, fourth, and fifth.
I believe, with the exception of my wide awake
contemporaries of the Racing Times, I was the
only dabbler in racing judgment that accomplished the
abovementionad feat. Moat of the other races at Epsom
have been decided exactly as I prognosticated. The
field for " The Oaks " to-morrow, will not be anything
like in proportion to that for the Derby; the following
being all that is likely to run for it, viz.:—Payment
(Bartholomew), Hesse Homburg, Aphrodite, lantbe,
Sis. to Wanota (Marlow), Iris (Butler), Perdita filly,
Catalpa (Nat), Misserrima, Emily (Wintringham), Terp-
sichore, Plokgra (Norman), Anspach (Kitchener), Pres-
tige (A. Day), Prima Donna, Incurable, Princess Alice
filly (Holmes), Irene, and perhaps another or.two. Ac-
cording to my view of this very ticklish race, I must go
for the three favourites—Payment, Hesse Homburg, and
Aphrodite; expecting to see them pass the post as I
have placed them. The next flight to consist of Iris,
Catalpa, Sis. to Wanota, and Perdita filly.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
-EPSOM, WEDNESDAY.
In point of weather, the seventy-second anniversary
of the Derby was remarkably fortunate; a shower fell
early in the morning, enough to lay the dust, but neither
heavy nor long enough to have any effect on the course,
which, as may be imagined, from our report of the first
day, was anything but favourable for horses with doubt-
ful feet.
From the unusual facilities offered by the railways, we
anticipated a monster gathering, and we were not disap-
pointed, for we will venture to affirm that a greater con-
course was never before seen on Epsom Downs. The
South- Western line and the road contributed liberally to
the mass, but a vast majority patronised the Brighton

and with much less pressure and confusion than might
reasonably have been expected on so exciting an occa-
sion; the arrangements, in tact, showed a marked im-
provement on last year. Great care was taken by the
head 'of the police to prevent stoppages on the three
thoroughfares from Epsom to the Downs, by placing
horse patrols in different points; in short, all concerned
in the management of the course, or of matters con-
nected with it, were well instructed, and carried qut their
orders in a businesslike and efficient manner. With re-
ference to the great event we may observe that it is many
years since the race, up to the day, was looked upon as
so " open;" of this the number of starters alone may be
quoted as a proof; the " million," in fact, arrived on the
course pretty generally impressed with the idea that

case had the "money market" been in a healthy state.
The first race of the day got over, the paddock became
the centre of attractioe e the starters speedily emerged
from it, and within a few minutes of the time fixed—
three o'clock—were mounted, the course having pre-
viously been cleared with a tact, temper, and rapidity
highly, creditable to the police. Having taken their
preliminary canters, 'the horses, thirty-three in number,
one more than ever ._started. for Derby, Oaks, or St.
Leger, returned to We paddock, were conducted from it
to the post, and got off without the slightest failure at
ten minutes past three.' ' The race may be described in a
very few words. Teddington waited in front to the
turn, was never afterwards headed, and won in a canter;
the Marlborough Buck beating Neashism by a length, and
the latter defeating Hernandez for the third place by a
neck. Sir Joseph Ilasiley, who has now won both Derby
and Oaks, and his party, win an immense stake, and most
of the gentlemen are on the right side; on the other hand
o
the "ring" loses almost to a man; and Mr. Davis, who

Buckhound took the lead from the post, and with the
Enterprise colt in his wake, the latter waited on by Ted-
dington, Constellation, Neasham, and Ariosto, led the
way nearly to the top of the hill, the running being then
taken from him by the Enterprise colt, Teddington fol-
lowing Buckhound, in company with Neasham and
Ariosto, next to the latter lying Constellation, Heart-
breaker, the Marlborough Buck, and Lord Eglinton's two.
This order lasted only to the mile post; Teddington
then quitting his horses, and going on with a decided
lead, the Enterprise colt and Buckhound giving way to
Hernandez, the Marlborough Buck, Neasham, and
Ariosto, to which lot the race, after making the turn,
was confined. Marlborough Buck took the second place
at the road, and held it to the distance, where Neasham
went up, and by sufferance, got within a neck and
shoulder of the favourite, by whom, however, he was
very speedily disposed of. The Marlborough Buck
and Hernandez were thus left within half a
' length of the favourite, who, having had the race in
hand from the time he took up the running, left them
without an effort, and won in a canter by two lengths,
the Marlborough Buck beating Neasham by a length,
Hernandez, who would have been third but for a disap-
pointment opposite the stand, finishing a neck from the
latter. Prime Minister was fifth, and Theseus, Ariorito,

FRENCH PLAYS.

The reign of the one. act screamers of the Valais Royale
still continues. No less than four of these little pieces
were performed htst—tretiligcl-w—oof the first
time. Levascor appeared in them, and was the life and
soul of both. They have evidently been written:for him,
as farces at the Lyceum or Adelphi are written for
Charles Mathews or Edward Wright. They have
nothing in them either in the way of incident or plot,
but just consist of a few scenes, in which some gro-
tesque original is the prominent object with a few other
characters, who merely serve to bring him out, and set
off his ludicrous absurdities. Lovassor absolutely revels
in fun and frolic, and indulges in the most extravagant
flights; but his humour, though rich and broad, is free
from vulgarity. Compared to the humour of some of
our popular farceurs it is the, effervescence of cham-
pagne to the briskness of bottled beer. It is a plesant
thing to enjoy a most hearty lough without being
offended by indelicacy or coarseness.
