CROQUEL—An excellent pocket gni k to this
favourite game has just been published by the Messrs.
De la Rue. It is by "Cavendish," the author of " Whist,"
r.nd is intended to supply hints for arranging and playing
the glme, and also for the purpose of determining ques-
tions that may arise in the course of play. It may ba car -
tied conveniently in the waistcoat pocket or the card case,
and its price will not prevent its.use from becoming ge-
neral.

Th 3 3d Royal Surrey Militia, consisting of 21
ellicers, 848 men, 18 soldiers' wives, and 39 chil-
dren will proc,ed from Kingston to Aldershott
Camp, for training, on the 21st instant, and will
be quartered in the Centre and West Biozks, Per-
manent Barracks.

The Royal Marine infirmary adjacent to thelbar-
racks at Woolwich is to by handed over to the War
Department on Monday next, with the same cere-
mony as was observed on the occasion of deliver-
ing up the barracks on the 31 inst. by Lieut.-
Colonel Paisley, of the Royal Engineers, Super-
intendent of Works, Chatham Dockyard. It is
rumoured that the infirmary will not be appro-
priated as heretofore, but that the building will
be turned into officers' quarters, &c. A suggestion
was made a short time ago, when the Duke of Cam-
bridge paid a visit to Woolwich fur the purpose of
making au inspection of the barracks and infirmary,
that the building should be the general hosiital,
being adapted in every respect for that purpOd,
by its proximity to the several barracks and
Government establishments, as well as its healthy
situation.

Her Majesty's armour-plated coastguard ships
Black Prince, 41, and Valiant, 24, arrived on Satur-
day in Plymouth Sound, where they discharged their
powder. Yesterday they were taken up klamoaze.
The Valiant will to-day be docked in Keyham
steamyard, and the flack Prince be placed alongside
the jetty at Devonport.

The following appointments were made on Satur-
day at the Admiralty :—Lieutenant 0. H. Parker,
Lieutenant Harry T. Grenfell, and Lieutenant
Samuel A. Johnson, to the Excellent ; Navigating
Sub-Lieutenant Herbert Roxby, to the Liverpool ;
and James T. Daly, midshipman, to the Liverpool.
The following assumed names have been registered :
Mr. Grey, Mr. Ra.weliffe, Mr. Planet, Mr. Blair, and Mr.
St. James.

FORMIAM.—This jockey, whose connection with Lord
Calthorpe's colours has been a brilliant series of successes,
was put on £BOO to nothing on Knight of the Garter for
the Chester Cup by Captain Machell.
We hear that Mr. Merry has been in treaty with no
fewer than three jockeys, in order to be secure of an effi-
cient rider for Belladrum in the Derby. It will be no-
ticed that J. Snowden, who role Blair Athol in the Derby
and Leger, has worn Mr. Merry's colours during the
Chester week.

Vnums.—This mare left Ilsley on Monday last for Mr.
Bennett's own place, and she is not likely to run again.
CHESTER RACES, 1870.—At the meeting of the Grand
Stand proprietors, held on Thursday, under the presidency
of Sir W. Wynn, it was resolved to give £1,900 as added
money to the races next year. The following noblemen and
gentlemen have consented to act as stewards of the meet-
ing:—Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart., M.P., Prince Soltykoff,
Lord Calthorpe, Lord Stamford, Lord Westmorland, Sir
R. Bulkeley, Lord Coventry, Lord Wilton, Colonel Fores-
ter, Captain Rachel!, and Mr. G. Payne.

LETTING OF THE REFRESHMENT Rooms AT DONCASTER
GRAND STAND.-011 hursday last a meeting of the race
committee was held for the purposp of letting the refresh-
ment rooms at the Grand Stand for the Spring and Sep-
tember meetings. It was resolved that the refreshment
room should bo let to Messrs. Bower and Mignott, of
London, for £4OO, with an additional £5O for the new
stand, if erected.
SYDNEY EDGAR Slum AGAIN.—At the Miingham
(Kent) petty sessions on Thursday, the notorious S 3 dney
Edgar Smith, who hails from Portland House, Barham,
near Canterbury, was convicted in a penalty of £5 for
keeping eight greyhounds without having licences for
the same, and the excise authorities, who prosecuted,
said they "wanted" this fellow, having a judgment in
their hands against him for the non-payment of racehorse
duty.

The Duke of Hamilton, it would appear, has resolved to
abandon racing in France as well as to retire from the
Turf in England, the sale of his Grace's French stud
being announced by 11. Salvador. Cheri to take place at
the mart in the Rue de Ponthieu on June 2, the day before
the sale at Tattersall's.

THE CHESNUT TREES IN BUSHY PARK.—Regularly
with the return of spring comes the announcement that
" the Chesnut trees in Bathy Park are now in full bloom;"
and those of our readers who have never seen the magni-
ficent avenue facing Hampton Court palace should betake
themselves without delay.
THE 15TH HUSSARS FLAT RACES AT YORK.—The offi-
cers of the 15th Hussars, now in the York Barracks, have
organised several flat races to take place during the en-
suing week, on the linavesmire. The first is a Match, to
be run on Tuesday (its onnection with the first race day),
in which Mr. Briscoe tacks his ch g David, aged, 12st,
against Mr. Leny's ch u, 5 yrs, list ; 200 hft ;
three miles. The other races consist of two handicaps
each distance two miles, to take place on Saturday next.
The horses are to be the property of officers of the regi-
giment, and are divided into two classes.
ALEXANDRA PARK HACES.—These races, which were
inaugurated with so much éclat last season that upwards
of £9,000 was on dit cleared by the undertaking, have been
abandoned, for this season at all events, after extraordi-
nary expenditure in building the Grand Stand and making
the course. It is rumoured that the Zoological Society,
who must shot tly leave their present " local habitation'
in the Regent's Park, aro endeavouring to purchase the
Alexandra Estate at Muswell Hill for the ordinary collec-
tion of their animals and reptiles.

glands, and o her disorders arising from unseen and un-
suspected causes, may be cured by the use of this excellent
ointment, aided by Holloway's purifying pills. The printed
instructions in which the remedies are wrapped are suffi-
ciently explicit for the guidance of any invalid with mode-
rate intelligence. Holloway's medicaments can always be
used with advantage and without danger. For more than
a quarter of a century they have proved themselves to be
a treasure to the poor afflicted with disease. Both the runt
ment and the pills are especially advted for military and
naval men, colonists, and travellers, who cannot everywhere
obtain medical assistance, but may always successfully
doctor themselves Nlith Holloway's remedies.
