GARIBALDI AND THE SWISS.—A committee of s,
Swiss patriots having forwarded to Garibaldi, through
Major Ott, of the Federal army, a magnificent rifle, re-
ceivedst the following letter from the General :—" Swiss pa-
triots,—The generous gift of a rifle, which I have receive
from you, through Major Ott, has been very gratifying tome. s
This manifestation on the part of the noble Swiss nation is a s
brilliant recompense for the little I have been able to do in
favour of the liberty of the peoples, and I shall be grateful to s
you all my life. Italy advances with a firm and decided s
step towards politicalindependence. The brotherly sympa- s
thies of the sons of William Tell will be a favourable augury
8
for the accomplishment of her destinies. Receive my
flthanks,
men of liberty, you who faithfully guard the holy ame of
liberty. May the fraternity of the peoples be no longer a
vain word, and may our two nations unite as the waters of
our rivers, and for only one family.—l am, with friendly si
gratitude, your friend GARIBALDI."
REVIVAL OF CAMBERWELL FAIR.--Yesterday
morning, at a very early hour, the inhabitants of that part
of the Camberwell New-road near the Lambeth County
Court were aroused by hearing loud and continuous ham-
mering, mingled with shouting and other sounds, so unusual
to the respectable inhabitants of this locality. It was then s,
discovered that during the previous night and yesterday
morning a fair of very large dimensions had been established si
in an extensive field at the rear of Camberwell Chapel, and s
abutting on the Brunswick-road, and thereon had been
established upwards of 200 booths, including a large eques-
trian tent, a theatre an exhibition of moving models, re- I.'
freshment booths, rifle galleries, &c. It would appear that at,
on Sunday evening two or three caravans were noticed 4,
proceeding towards the field ; but not the slightest idea was st
entertained that a fair, and one of the largest that has ever st
been established on the Surrey side of the water, was about st
to be held. As soon as that became known, large bodies of
poi i ea were
laidplaced on duty, and several of the inhabitants
complaintt,r for the removal of the booths, &c., but s
they were
informed that extremely y
parties seven days' couldnotie.not be done without giving the
and, of course, by that time the
fair would be over and ethewhole of the ground cleared,
So that they will be obliged put up with it for three
days, although the extreme end of
feet of the dwarf garden walls. Notwithstanding
within a
wultehtitmadingthe
somewhat doubtful state of the weather
gongs,
rswads duly
opened with the usual accompaniment of
brass bands, and other deafening noises. Befor'e twelvevely
hundreds of the lovers of such sights wending
o'clock the roadway leading to the
ground wore a very lively
a
their way thereto, and seeming to_ fancy that a triumph
had been gained by the revival of Camberwell Fair, which
it was thought was for ever extinct.
ANOTHER CHILD MURDER AT FRoME.--About
nine o'clock on Sunday morning a boy was walking along
the road skirting the banks of the river Frorne, at a place
called Welshmill, close to the most populous part
which so fof the
town, when he saw a something in the water ar
resembled a human form as to induce him to cal
atel assistance.
The coachman of Dr. Harrison, a magistr residing
near, came to his aid, and drew from the water the corpse
of a full-grown male child. The child was quite dead, but
as
had evidently been so only a short time,
blood was slowly
oozing from its nose. Its hands were crossed over the face.
It had no clothing on whatever, but around the neck was a
part of a stn lace, with which it had evidently beenstrangled. The body was promptly conveyed to a neigh-
bouring public-house, and medical aid was summoned by
the police. Dr. White attended, and after an examination
pronounced the corpse to be that of a fully matured child,
who had evidently lived some hours after birth. That the
destruction of the child was accomplished by its mother
seems probable from the fact that some of the customary
duties of a midwife had not been attended to. The police
are using every exertion to discover the parentage of the
deceased. The affair has made considerable stir in the
neighbourhood, more especially as the circumstances of
another suspicious death is under investigation.
ROYAL ALHAMBRA PALACE.—A new feature has
been added to the attractions of this favourite place of amuse-
ment in the shape of a domesticated and educated hippopota-
mus. Mr. E. T. Smith, the enterprising manager, has, at a
large expense, procured this wonderful specimen of the am-
phibious world. The animal is not yet two years and a half
old, and stands about three feet high. The keeper has it
entirely under control, and can make it do whatever he
pleases. It follows him about like a dog, and lays down and
fondles with him in the most docile manner. During the
exhibition the keeper opened its mouth, and put his head
completely within itsbuge jaws, after which he took it round
and
made it open its mouth several times to show the
audience the interior. After making the creature go through
various performances, which showed its tractability, he
mounted its back and rode off in triumph, amidst general
applause,

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 21, 1880►.

TITS DAY).

SP

IES.

The meetings appointed for the ensuing week are Yoll
and Plymouth, which lie so far apart that their clashli ig -is
not likely to exercise any prejudicial influence on either,
though it would have been as well had the latter been fixed
to take place on Monday and Tuesday instead of.the two
following days. Mr. Johnson's bill of fare is of mo aster
calibre, extending to no fewer than 32 races, a number . quite
impossible to get through with any kind of satisfaction in
the three days to which the meeting is now limited.
There are 12 rates on the list for to-morrow, 9 of which.
are already closed, leaving only the Zetland Stakes, her
Majesty's Plate, and a Selling Stakes to close this evening.
The principal of the closed items is the Couvillal Stakes,
for which there are 76 two-year-olds notrAineted, no fewer
than 31 of which have been in public, producing only the
following winners :—Folkstone, Rouge Dragon, Vergiss-
mein-nicht, Little Drummer, Samba, and Prudence, each
of which have incurred a 21b penalty. The dark division
includes many high-bred and good-'looking horses—Klari-
koff, by De Clare out of Wiasma, the dam of many winners ;
Bonnyfield, a half-brother of 04. e famed Blink Bonny, by
"The West;" Lady Louisa, half-sister to Cavendish, by
The Flying Dutchman ; Carbinner, by Rifleman out of
Comfit, and many others there is no occasion to enumerate.
Of the public horses I have the most fancy for Yergiss-
mein-nicht and Rouge Dragon.
For the Juvenile Stakes Cantatrice, the daughter of Bird-
catcher and Catherine Hayes (bred in France), who has no
fewer than 49 engagements attached to her name in the
Calendar, will make her debut, and I have no doubt will
not disgrace her parentage ; though, as we have seen The
Gardener run forward on two or three occasions, I must
give him a slight preference over the filly.
The forty-seven nominations to the Yorkshire Oaks may
bring to the post Watersprite, filly by Autocrat out of
Elect's dam, Moorhen, Seclusion, Stockade, Cecilia, Vesta,
Bird _ .

[cage, Contadina, Aurora, and Nightingale. All of the
above have been repeatedly in public, except the latter, a
daughter of West Australian and Songstress ; but I expect
to see Stockade or Moorhen the winner.
The Wizard being struck out of the North of England
Biennial leaves the race pretty open, notwithstanding
which I cannot see anything beyond the following seven
likely to take part in the struggle :—Northern Light, Sir
William, Grenadier, Wildman, The Prophet, Upperhand,
and Vanquisher. The former, for his success in the Am
port Stakes, will have to carry a 31b penalty, consequently
he will meet Sir William on the same terms as at Liver-
pool, when a head only separated the pair. On this occa-
sion, however, 1 hardly think the contest between them
will be so close, the gallant grey having showed at Good-
wood in such greatly improved form ; but there are a couple
of others engaged from which much more danger is to be
apprehended—Vanquisher and The Prophet—the former
of which I must select in preference to Mr. Merry's horse,
as in the race for the Gimcrack last year he ran against
Thormanby and Sweetsauce so thoroughly game, that I
should rather depend on him than on the grey over so
heavy a course as the Knavesmire is certain to be after the
recent rains ; and it would not surprise me to see The Pro-
phet, who takes a 51b allowance, secure second honours,
with the emoluments attached to the " situation."
For the Chesterfield Handicap Amsterdam, Tyrant,
and Grenadier appear to me to have the best chance, and
I fancy them in the order named.
Tke Branham Park Stakes must fall to Stockade, the
Three Year Old Produce to Sabreur, and the Burgundy
Stakes to Ariadne, who will only have to walk ever to re-
imburse her present owner with a fourth of the price which
he recently gave for her on the break up of Sir R. Peel's
stud.

The contest for the Black Duck Stakes of 1,000 sous each,
300 ft, to which there are four nominations, is likely to end
in a match between Radiance and either Cantatrice or Lord
Glasgow's colt by Stockwell, dam by Pyrrhus the First, the
two latter of which will have previously tried conclusions
in the Juvenile Stakes on the first day, the race for which
will virtually decide this heavy engagement.
The Zetland Stakes, the Queen's Guineas, and an All-
aged Selling Stakes will comple a card never surpassed at
York, and seldom elsewhere.

On Thursday, although the card does not contain so many
items as that of Wednesday, it is sufficiently heavy to en-
sure an excellent day's racing.
Tn the Prince of Wales Stakes, Dundee is nominated as
well as Dictator and Klarikoff; consequently, should the
three meet, the race will be the most interesting of the day.
I, however, doubt that either of the latter will face the
"crack," though they may as well, for until he is overcome
"by hook or by crook," little opportunity will be afforded
of hedging the investments made on them by their respec-
tive oa aers for the Derby.
The Eglinton Stakes, one mile, for two end three year
olds, has 12 of the latter engaged op.:net 23juveniles, those
of note amongst the latter being Dundee, Imaus, Lady
Clifden, and Brown Duchess; whilst the best of the th-ee
year olds engaged, taking the weights they have to carry
into consideration, are Sweetsauce, Stampedo, and Mag-
giore, all of which, with the exception of Brown Duchess,
it would not surprise me to see contest this valuable prize.
The field will doubtless comprise many more, but supposing
the above to meet the respective weights they will have to
carry w: stand thus :
age at lb age at lb
Sweetsauce
Stamped() . . 3 8 4 Imaus . . 2 6 11
Maggiore
It will be thus seen that Dundee will have to run a mile
at 281 b with Sweetsauce, and with Stampedo at 161 b (the
exact weight at which Brown Duchess had the best of him,
when very unfit, for the Stamford Plate at Newmarket),
whilst he will have to do Maggiore over at 141 b, a feat I
doubt his ability to accomplish. I shall, consequently, ex-
pect to see him bowled over by one of the trio ; and as
Stampede must now be much fitter than he was in the July
week, to him I give the preference.
The Fov-th Biennial for two -yr-olds, with its 49 floral •
nations, ought to furnish a considerable field at the starting
post, the only formidable name among the entries being
Dictator, now that Big Ben has for a time taken leave of
the Turf. Lord Fitzwilliam has several good-looking
horses engaged, and both Matador and Kettledrum are
highly thought of. Virgilius, whose name has recently
found its way into some of the Derby books, is also engaged,
and Mr. Merry w ill be represented by the Lady of the Lake,
a good-looking daughter of the Lord of the Isles out of
Rogerthorpe's dam, who will take some beating. Whether
all of the above will run, or what may comprise the field
besides, I have not the means of knowing; but as Dictator
is a certain starter he must be my selection, notwith-
standing the 31b penalty he will have to carry for winning
the July, though I expect both Matador and Virgilius, both
of whom have been highly tried, will prove very formidable
opponents.
The Hopeful I must award to Cape Flyaway, and the
Filly Sapling to Sir C. Moncles Prudence.
The Great Ebor Handicap has cut down into rather
limited dimensions, considering the extent of the entry,
which comprised no fewer than sixty-five nominations, only
twenty-three of which have accepted. At first sight some
want of judgment might be imputed to the handicapper,
but on carefully looking through the weights a reason
might readily be found for the non-acceptance of nearly
every horse which has declared out, Adam Bede and
Volatile alone excepted, both of whom had so little to
complain of in the weights apportioned to them that they
were by many thought to be the best " in," particularly
the filly. Underhand heads the list with 9st, but, as we
saw him at Stockbridge unable to claim the judge's atten-
tion over the heavy course there, he can have no chance on
the Knavesmire, which will this year be in a far different
state to last, when he gave such " lumps" of weight away
to all the three year olds engaged. Whitewall accepted
with four—Gamester, Cape Flyaway, Pax, and The Pedlar
—of which Lord Glasgow's horse, in the opinion of the
public, had so much the best of the weights that he was
backed for some money on the appearance of the accept-
ances; but he has since gone out of the market, and with
him all hope of the race going to Malton, for I doubt the
Pedlar's ability to stay the course, in which opinion I em
strengthened from his being engaged in the Cambridgeshire
in preference to the Celarewitch. Defender has little to
complain of with such an impost as Bst 51b, though even
after his success at Egham I have no great opinion of his
staying qualities; but as most of those engaged have quite
as little heart, I can select nothing among the old horses to
beat him, unless Hepatica and Artless run up to their old
form, or Julia should take it into her head to try as well as
she does at home. Satellite, although he possesses good
speed, must be beaten by Defender. Gladiolus is not over-
weighted, but the market is too suspicious to ensure my re-
commendation this time of asking. Moorhen has been highly
tried with Wildman and Moorcock, and the result was of
such a satisfactory nature that I expect she will prove the
absolute winner. Horace ha; a tremendous turn of speed,
which will cause him to run forward, despite his presumed
non-staying qualities. Springwell is a nice, lengthy style
of colt, and has a respectable outside chance. To sum up
I expect to see the Ebor Handicap carried off by Osborne's
representative—
MOORHEN or SUTTON,
followed by Hepatica and Springwell.
For the Northern St. Leger The Wizard will make one of
the field, and unless opposed by Northern Light, there is
none other engaged likely to prevent the stakes being
credited to Mr. Nichol's account.
The remaining events for Thursday are the Londes-
borough Cup and the Lottery Plate, both of which close the
evening preceding.
For Friday, the last day, there are no fewer than eleven
events set for decision, including the Great Yorkshire Stakes,
the County Cup, and Gimcrack Stakes, which, with the
Knavesmiro and Colt Sapling, make up a day's sport almost
equal to the first.
The Great Yorkshire Stakes, although it has one hundred
and four nominations, will scarcely muster more than half
a dozen at the starting post, to be selected from The
Wizard, Cape Flyaway, Tom Bowline, Sir William, Sutton,
Syringe, Northern Light, The Prophet, Predictor, Upper-
hand, Sabreur, and Vanquisher. The meeting of The
Wizard and Wallace would have created great excitement,
but the latter's absence is almost certain, as in addition to
the recent stoppage of his work, from having been "pricked,"
a more effectual " stopper " is likely to be placed upon his
running by the refusal of his former owner and nominator
to consent to his starting. To discuss the probable chances
of the above at this time of the day would be only a tire-
some infliction, as no one could at the time of nay writing
