THE WAR IN PARAGUAY.

News of two more successes of the Allies in Paraguay
comes from Brazilian sources. In one fight the
Paraguayans lost 300 men killed, the Brazilians— eighteen.
In another, one of Count d'Eu's subordinates managed to
carry a strong work which Lopez had erected for the
defence of his position, and in doing so met with 4,000
families " who gladly joined their liberator." These state-
ments must be taken for what they are worth. The despatches
which the American Ambassadorin Paraguay has sent to his
Government shew that the Brazilian accounts are utterly
untrustworthy. General MacMahon had not, it will be
remembered, been heard of for many months, and the
Allies gave it out that he was forcibly detained by Lopez.
The American representative himself says, however, that
he was always on good terms with Lopez, and that his
despatches failed to reach their destination because the
Allies refused them the cover of a flag of truce, and fired
on the Paraguayan flag. The world may be pardoned
if it refuses to give credence to the victories announced
from such a quarter.

POLAND.

An interesting ceremony took place at Cracow, in
Austrian Poland, a day or two ago. The remains—or
what represented the remains—of one of the most popular
Polish kings, Cassimir the Great, were reinterred, after a
lapse of five centuries. The coffin was carried by two
peasants, two students, and two bottrgeois; and a vast
crowd of Poles, the Polish deputies in the Austrian Parlia-
ment, and delegates from Prussian Poland, were present.
The solemnity could hardly be gratifying to the Russian
and Prussian Governments, and it was probably some
such consideration which induced the Austrian Emperor
to decline the invitation of the Poles. Numerous Austrian
officials were there.

MANCHESTER.

A meeting of the executive of the National Reform
Union was held on Monday evening, at Manchester, is
theoffices, Gladstone-buildings, Mr. George Wilson, the
president, being in the chair. The agent of the Union
read a paper, reviewing the passage of the bill, after
which Mr. Wilson spoke on behalf of the measure,
believing that any interruption to its success would only
be temporary. He thought men's minds had ripened on
the question, and said that the Union must do nothing
rashly, but must strengthen the hands of the Government.
After a short discussion, it was decided that the executive
should advise all their branches to petition against the
Lords' amendments.

TILE UXBRIDGE MURDER.

William Murray was chaaged Ilith the wilful murder of
Frederick Redrup. The prisoner and the deceased were
both labouring men. On the 6th of July they were seen
together in the town of Uxbridge, tho worse for liquor.
The &ceased was found in the prisoner's house with his
throat cut. When the prisoner was taken into custody,
and his clothes were covered with blood, ho did not deny
that it was ho who had committed the murder.
The jury had not returned their verdict when we went
to press.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A TRAVELLER.—Wiiiittrn Beddow,
also called Baddel, of No. 4, Digguns-street, Clare Hall
Estate, Stepney, was brought up on remand before Mr.
Pa,get, charged wi:h:embezzling various sums of money he
had received for and on account of Mr. Andrew Scott, o f
No. 70, High-street, poplar, ironmonger, his master a.td
employer.

The prisoner, who pleaded guilty, had been for some

time in the se► vice of kr. Scott as traveller, and it;;;
his business to receive orders and money for tho same
after they wore executed. He should have accounted for
all moneys received immediately. He had not done so,
and two sums of 195., the other of ls. only, were proved
to have boon received by him, and those sums he had not
accounted for, wiien he was taken into custody by Police-
constable Lamb, No. 42 K. He stated that the wants of a
large family and his slender earnings caused him to appro-
priate his master's cash to his own uso. He is not mar-

lied, and has no family. There were other chargos against
him, but they wore not entered into.

Mr. Paget said the prisoner had pleaded guilty, and
there was no doubt of his guilt. The prisoner was leni-
ently dealt with. He sentenced him to four months' im-
prisonmeat and hard labour in the House of Correction.

SIIEFFIELD.

A very enthusiastic demonstration in favour of the
Ministerial measure has been held in Sheffield, in Para•

dise-square. The Mayor presided, and the assemblage
was one of the largest that has been seen in Sheffield since
the election. The two borough members, Mr. Hadfield
and. Mr. Mundella, were present, and as it was the first
occasion on which Mr. Mundella has addressed his
constituents since his election, his friends gave him a
very cordial reception. Mr. Hadfield and Mr. Mundella
both supported the first resolution, which declared the
establishment of religious equality in Ireland to be alike
necessary, just, and politic ; and condemned the charges
made by the House of Peers in the Irish Church Bill to be
subversive of the principles of the measure. Mr. Hadfield
declared that they would not submit to the dictation of a
clique in the House of Lords. Mr. Mundella, who spoke
strongly in behalf of the Ministerial measure, declared
that nothing on earth, not even the wishes of his con-
stituents, should induce him to vote for concurrent
endowment. Sooner than be a party to endowing
a new sect he would walk out of the House

of Commons to-morrow. The day was coming, and, as
a Churchman, be did net care how soon it came,
when State endowments must altogether cease. The
House of Lords rejected everything that touched their
ideas of religion or privilege, but they must be brought
into harmony with the House of Commons ; and such
displays as that meeting presented would best effect
that. A petition to the Commons in favour of
religious equality in Ireland as asserted in the bill was
agreed upon, to be presented by Mr. Hadfield. At the
close of the meeting in the Square, the crowd insisted oi;t
taking the horses from Mr. Mundella's carriage and draw,
ing the hon. member to the Pack-horse Inn, from which
he addressed them amidst enthusiastic cheering.

OUR YOUNG DOMITIANS.

We have again and again referred to the shameful
sport of pigeon shooting in which our golden youth
daily take new delight. Cruel as we thought it, we
did not suspect that there was an even greater depth
of cruelty into which these merciless sportsmen fall.
A correspondent of the Morning Post, the chief
chronicler of the matches at llurlingbam, says that,
in order to secure the flight of a pigeon in a par-
ticular direction, one of the eyes of the unfortunate
bird is destroyed before it is let out of the trap.
And yet this is the kind of amusement in which mem-
bers of Parliament like Messrs. Vivian and a good
many others engage. Are we turning into a nation
of Domitians?

FOREIGN NOTES.
OUB GAMBLING ESTABLISHMENTS AT HONG KONG.

The Post calls attention to the statement of Mr. Mon-
sell relative to the licensing of gaming•houses at Hong
Kong. Few people were aware that establishments of
the kind were recognised by the Government. Such,
however, is the fact. Gambling-houses at Hong Kong
have been under official supervision for several years, and
the license money has been expended as ordinary revenue
But the statement of Mr. Monsell went to shew that the
present occupants of office at any rate were not informed
of the use to which these receipts were applied. They
were evidently astonished and justly annoyed at the dis-
covery, and have already ordered the immediate discon-
tinuance of the appropriation of the money in question as
ordinary revenue.

This the Post heartily approves of. Money derived from
such a source ought never to be employed to the general
purposes of government ; it ought to be devoted to the
inspection of the houses with the view of diminishing the
evil, and this is about to be done. The fashionable
journal endeavours to shew that it was impos-
sible to do without these licensed houses ; in
Hong Kong, at least, they are a necessary evil. The
Chinese are the most inveterate and violent of gamblers,
and before the licensing system was adepted the most dis-
graceful scenes were enacted. The conclusion to legalise
" well-conducted houses " was almost forced upon the
authorities. Would not such a system (asks the Post) be
choosing the lesser of two evils in England? Would it
not be better, it says, to recognise betting within certain
limits, and subject all houses to inspection, rather than
shut our eyes altogether to the vice, and suffer the plung-
ing which is now so common?

EDINIA7IIOII.

A crowded meeting was held on Tuesday evening under
the presidency of the Lord Provost, when it was agreed
to petition the House of Commons to restore the bill to ita
original form. In the course of the evening it was observed
that Scotland was so strongly opposed to concurrent
endowment that no Scotch member voting in its favour
would stand a chance of retaining his seat.

MARLBOROUGH- STREET.

A SHAM CONSTABLE.—CharIes Wood, a carpenter, resid-
ing in Manor-street, Edgware-road, was charged before
Mr. Knot with wantonly and falsely representing himself
to be a constable, and thereby attempting to obtain lc from
a person in Hyde-park.

On the case being called on, there was no prosecutor in
attendance, and Mr. Knox asked the constable (Poll, 462
A) whether he knew anything of the case ?
The constable said the prisoner was given in charge
last night by a gentleman, who said that, while sitting on
a seat in Hyde-park with a female, the prisoner came up
and said that he was a constable, and sent to the park to
prevent gentlemen and females sitting th.pre, at the same
time demanding a shilling of him. At the station the pri-
soner said he was very sorry and hop3d the gentleman
wouldnot press the charge, and that what he had done he
had done as a more joke.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, and ordered the con-
stable to try and get the gentlemen to attend.
ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.—Thomas Jones, a thick-set,
powerful-looking fellow, described as a seaman, was
charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting and robbing
William Mallard, a compositor, residing in Sherwood-
street, Golden-square.

The prosecutor, a young man, was seeing a friend home
this morning, when the prisoner assaulted him, knocked
him down, and stole his watch, of the value of £3. The
prisoner then ran away, but was stopped by Police-con-
stable Hamilton, 56 C, and taken into custody.
Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, who is well known
to the police.

WESTMINSTER.
STEALING A LOVE LETTER.--AN ODD APPEAL.--A very
respectable-looking woman, accosting the magistrate this
morning, said, "I want your advice. Can a master re-
fuse to pay a young woman of 17, who has been with hint
nearly 12 months as his domestic servant, her wages of £6
par year?"
Mr. Ingham—Not if she is entitled to wages. What
reason does ho assign for not paying ?
Applicant—At first he said he had kept her as a matter
of charity, but he had paid her nine months' wages. 13J--
sides, I've another complaint. is he justified in keeping a
letter addressed to her ?
Mr. Ingham—ls there any value in the letter ?
Applicant—Value, yes, to her, of course. It's a love
letter. It came from her sweetheart.
Mr. Ingham—l see. lie has no right to keep hor letter.
Applicant—Can he refuse to give up her letter or pay
her wages on the ground that she has robbed him.
Mr. Ingham--What does he say she has stolen ?
Applicant—Two cigars.
Mr. Ingham•—Does she smoke ?
Applicant —No ; and I don't believe she took them.
Mr. Ingham-11 the master could prove her guilty of
theft he could discharge her without a moment's notice,
and must pay her up to the hour.
Applicant She discharged herself. We consider sh
was only a servant day by day.

must go t 9 tin county court.. I =I help you.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.)

James Doulton, 38, who had pleaded guilty to the charge
of manslaughter, was brought up to receive sentence at
the Central Criminal Court to-day. The learned judge
said there was no doubt that, although the prisoner was
probably not aware of the diseased condition of the do-
*eased, he had by his brutal violdnce accelerated his death.
Under these circumstances he should treat the case as one
of violent assault, and he should sentence the prisoner to
18 months' hard latour.

THE AMERICAN PRESS.

The New York Tribune's issue of Saturday is
often a sight, being on that day perhaps the largest
newspaper in the world. Alnong the interesting
matters published there are sure to be a number of
letters, which it heads, " From the People." The
first on June 26, after assuming that a territorial
compensation would be demanded for the Alabama
claims, "U. S." proposes that the gold-bearing
territory of Australia be taken instead of wintry,
ice-bound Canada, as we, he innocently adds, have
a large portion of auriferous soil and want more.
He terms the Dominion a new-sham-noble go-
verned population. Dr. Samuel S. Guy denies tho
accuracy of the statement that women were ren-
dered eligible for membership in the American
Institute of Homcepathy, as the vote stood 84 for
and 45 against the amendment, which was therefore
lost, as it required a majority of two-thirds. Wil-
liam M. Doyle shows that Irishmen can be as sensi-
ble as their neighbours. He denounces the way in
which money is squandered in useless parades and
Fenian organizations to gratify heartless politicans,
who care nothing for Ireland or the immigrant.
He proposes co-operation in organizing an immi-
gration society, in purchasing tracts of land, and
aiding his brethren iu Ireland to settle thereon.
Thus he would get the people placed, as they ought
to be, on the waste lands, instead of being stopped
in New York to become the blind tools of wily
demagogues. Now this we call a plain, out-spoken
man of sense ; but he is more likely to have bis
brains knocked out than his advice taken. Henry
Cummings corrects an error, whereby he is made to
say that no more people should be married and no
more children born into the world. He is a
Shaker, and he asserts his faith to be founded
on the teachings of our Saviour and his disciples.
Elder Cummings says :—"
What we believe is that
be that marries doeth well,' if he has received no
call beyond that ; but he that marrieth not, doeth
better,' if so be he remaineth in that condition in
obedience to the call of God, through Christ, to
come up higher, and leave the earthly, sensual plane
of life, and is able to live the true virgin life. But
we believe, as. Jesus declares, all men are not able
to receive this saying, save they to whom it is sent.'"
Ruth Russell next gives Sarracenia Purpurea as a
specific for the small-pox. The roots of the plant
were steeped in water, and the patient drank of the
decoction four times a day a wine glass full ; the
proportion was an ounce of roots steeped it; a pint and
half of waterred uced to a pint. 'I his cure,was evidently
exciting attention, as the next writer speaks of it
as being commonly known as the " Side-Saddle
Flower," " Pitcher Plant," or " Huntsman's Cup."
It grows in bogs in New York State ; from New
England to Wisconsin ; and southward, east of the
Alleghanies. It blossoms in June, has a deep purple
flower, and very curious leaves, usually half filled
with water and drowned insects. Among the let-
ters is one ".cracking up" East Tennessee as th e
land for settlers. ; and a very interesting one from

THE LONDON ORPHAN ASYLI'3%

On Tuesday the Prince of Wales laid the founi:A-
tion stone of the new London Orphan Asylum at
11'z iford. The l'r;ncess of Wales accompanied him,
and the town presented an animated appearance.
Mr. Capel, the treasurer, read an address to their
Royal Highnesses on behalf of the supporters of the
asylum. The asylum was instituted in 1813 by the
late Pr. Andrew Reed, and it was for some
time beset with difficulties, but of late
years it has prospered greatly. A suitable
site for the new establishment that was
required has been found at Watford, and the build-
ing, of which the Prince laid the first stone, is
designed to accommodate six hundred orphans. The
Prince returned an appropriate answer to the address,
and expressed the satisfaction he felt in participating
in the proceedings of the day. The secretary
announced in the afternoon that he had received
subscriptions to the amount of £B,OOO. When the
Prince had laid the stone about 250 purses were placed
upon it by the ladies who had collected them. After
the ceremony their Royal Highnesses were present
at a d6efiner, presided over by Lord Verulam.

LEEDS.

A meeting, at which more than 15,000 persons were,
present, was held on Tuesday evening in the Cloth Hall-
yard, Leeds, under the presidency of the Mayor. Mr.
Baines, M.P., and Mr. Carter, 'M.P., both addressed
the meeting at some length. Mr. Baines said
that a great variance had occurred between the two
Houses of Parliament, and now the country had to decide
between the Commons and the Lards. Speaking of
" levelling up," Mr. Baines said it had not been men.
tioned during the elections or in the House of Commons.
He was standing by a Catholin county member at the bar
of the House of Lords,listening tothe debate on concurrent
endowment, and he asked the Catholic, What say you to
this? He replied, "They are thinking to cast crumbs to
the beggar." But he (Mr. Baines) thought that it was a
dangerous thing to give ecclesiastical crumbs to one who,
if his claims were admitted, would claim four-fifths of the
whole loaf ! If Great Britain would not give it, and Ireland
would not take it, what was the use of concurrent
endowment? If they were to let go the Irish Church
with greater property than it had now, and without con-
trol on the part of the State, it would be a kingdom
within a kingdom. Mr. Carter, M.P., said he had felt
some reluctance in voting for Mr. Gladstone's bill, be-
cause it did to a large extent re•endow, and he was sure
the country would go no further.
London, England, 1869-07-15

READING,

A public meeting was held on Tuesday evening in the
Town Hall, Reading, to consider the amendments of the
House of Lords to the bill of the Government for the dig-
endowment and disestablishment of the Irish Church. The
following resolutions were carried unanimously :—" That
this meeting, representing the Liberal constituency of the
borough of Reading, and cordially approving the bill for
the disestablishment and disendowment of the Irish
Church introduced into Parliament by her Majesty'4
Government, views with disapprobation the amends
ments introduced into it by the House of Lords, and
expresses its emphatic protest against such amendments."
" That this meeting expresses its confidence in her
Majesty's Government that they will adhere unhesi-
tatingly to the great principles of the bill so
emphatically endorsed by the constituencies at the late
general election, and calls upon the House of Commons
to support them in procuring for the Irish people the
precious boon of perfect religious equality, on the basis of
impartial endowment." The meeting closed with a vote
of thanks to the chairman, and "three cheers for Mr.
Gladstone."

THE GRATING QUESTION.

Mr. Herbert withdrew his motion for the removal
of the grating which separates the ladies from the
Home of Commons, and Mr. Layard achieved a
temporary triumph ; but it is by no means clear that
the question is set at rest. Mr. Layard's victory
was the result of a letter, an epistle from a lady.
But his opponents also have obtained a letter. Mr.
Grantley F. Berkeley is the writer, Mr. Andrew
Johnston, member for South Essex, the receiver.
Mr. Layard quoted 200 ladies, all save two in favour
of the retention of the grating ; Mr. Berkeley has
more than 200 ladies who want the cage bars to be
removed. Mr. Layard went to his ladies and asked
them which.they would rather have. Many of them
being by no means enthusiastic took up his view of
the matter. But Mr. Berkeley's clients are actively
advocating the removal—so fervently that they have
subscribed together and presented to him a hand-
some piece of plate for the part he has taken. All
this, and more, Mr. Berkeley sets forth in his
letter. He hints, moreover, that the members of the
House of Commons being married men do not wish
to give wives power of seeing whether or not their
husbands are out for the night on parliamentary
duty or not. He has no " ulterior " view, he says,
except one of morality. On this he is rather
earnest, " inasmuch as a well-known young Irishman
of that day, who had a handsome wife, on his maiden
speech, rushed up to the dark lantern, under the
expectation of finding the form he loved, but feature
and outline being undistinguishable he clasped to his
heart the considerable form of her Grace of
much to the Duchess's disgust, at least so she said."

AN IMPORTANT INVENTION.

Mr. G. J. Mechi, of Tiptree Hall, the well-known
scientific farmer, announces an important invention
—a machine for drying the bay and corn crops in
wet weather. The Society of Arts has given a prize
of fifty guineas and the gold medal to the discoverer,
and Mr. Mechi is himself perfectly well pleased with
it. The mechanism is very simple and uncostly. A
rapidly revolving fan, driven by horses or by steam
power, is attached to the smoke-box of a coke
furnace, and (a gauze screen intervening) with-
drays all the heat which would be carried
up the chimney or shaft and be wasted, and
diffuses it among the grass or corn sheaves exposed
to its blast. Grass cut and at once brought to the
mouth of the hot blast is converted in eight or ten
minutes into fine green hay of the very best quality,
fit for immediate sale or consumption. Grass con-
tains 75 per cent, of water ; 60 per cent. of this
passes off as steam, leaving the dry hay with its usual
15 per cent. of water. Corn is dried by the same
means by impaling the sheaf on a vertical hollow
spike or tube, pierced with holes, through which the
hot blast issues. Mr. Mechi is very sanguine as to
the success of this new implement, especially as his
scientific evidence slims that the quick drying does
the crops no harm. The fan may be worlied by two
horses or by 11-horse step in power ; and after the
first outlay has been made, a considerable saving
would be effected on each harvest in the matter of
employment. During variable and wet seasons the
saving would be immense.

WOMAN'S ITHIMONIAL TO 3r/i, ma=

The Bradford Obsertvr reports at great length a meeting Of,
a singu'arly interesting character held in Bt. George's Hall,
in that town, on Monday. There were more than 4,000 of
thy --- -1 of Bradford assembled within its walls, the pur..
t)eit,g to present to Mr. Miall, M.P., Mrs. Mull,anti
Miss Miall, the articles which had been purchased by the
Women's subscriptions, commenced after his defeat at the
general election. The present to Mr. iliall consisted of two
beautiful book-cases, in walnut, containing a selection
of standard works in ecclesiastical and general history,
poetry, biography, and books of reference ; to Mrs.
gilt and enamel French clock and candelabra; and Miss
Mall, a cottage pianoforte, in walnut. These several gifts
cost in the aggregate .£:00. Mr. Titus Salt presided; and
speeches ware &livered by Mr. Mall, M.P., Mr. Illingworth,
M.P., Mr. B. Kell, Mr. C. Turner, Mr. A. Holden, Mr. White-
head, and other gentlemen.

EDUCATION MEETIM; AT LIVERPOOL.

A largely-attended meeting was held at the Liverpool
Law Association Rooms, on Monday, under the presi-
dency of the Bishop of Chester, to consider a proposal
for the establishment of an education aid society on a
basis similar to organisations which already exist in Man.
chester and Birmingham. The object of the pro-
moters is to secure, if possible, the attendance
at school of children who now tun neglected in the
streets, and it is proposed to achieve this desirable object
by paying in whole or in part the school fees of children
whose parents are too poor to pay those fees themselves.
One great feature in the scheme is that it is altogether
undenominational, and the parents are themselves to
be at liberty to select the school to which their
children shall be sent. The Rev. Rector Campbell
proposed, and Mr. W. Rathbone seconded, a motion for
the establishment of the society. An amendment was
proposed by Mr. Groves, seconded by the Rev. Dr.
Taylor, which limited the schools to those in which " the
Holy Scriptures in the authorised version form the text-
book for daily instruction." The avowed object of
thi amendment was to exclude Roman Catholic
schools, Dr. Taylor holding that Protestants
ought not voluntarily to contribute to the teaching
of a religion which they believed to be erroneous Dr.
• Sum*, bowavert others---tenir—stugthei- ground that
it was better for a child to be educatea in any religion
than not at all, and the majority of the meeting endorsed
this view of the subject by rejecting the amendment, the
votes being 69 against 43. A committee was appointed to
put the society in working order.
London, England, 1869-05-27

THE ROAD.

There was the fun of the road this year, but it was not so
smart as usual. About it it is not easy to say much that is at
once novel and varied. Yet the drive down to the Derby
is one of those few events in life which never quite
lose their charm by repetition. Every year the sub-
urban journey, through miles upon miles of streets,
grows longer and longer; and in this present
year of grace, Epsom-bound wayfarers made acquaintance
with a bran new transpontine district of Battersea beyond
the bridges. To any one acquainted with French race-
courses, the half-world contingents of our Derby Day
appear of a very meagre order ; while equipages like those
which carry the female celebrities of Paris down to the
" Courses," are happily unknown in England.
Some statistician would do service by making a
calculation as to the quantity of gallons, casks,
and hogsheads of beer consumed on the road
to Epsom. There must be, on the average, a public house
for every couple of hundred yards between London and
the Dowr.s ; and every public-house was crowded with
thirsty customers. But this year's Derby was not an
exceptionally drunken one. Correspondents say that
neither in going on returning did they see many symptlms
of undue indulgence in the beverages that may possibly
cheer, but assuredly inebriate. A few early topers lay
stretched along the footpaths, sleeping the sleep of the just,
heedless who lost or who won ; but the real mass of
the holiday folk were perfectly sober and well-behaved.
As to the coarseness and brutality of the crowd of holiday
makers, there is not much wit, perhaps, in putting on
pasteboard noses of brilliant red and wearing straw-fibre
bonnets, and singing " Immensikoff " at the pitch of your
voice to the music of a cracked bugle ; but these amuse-
ments are harmless to everybody except the performer,
and they constituted the worst outrages against good taste
which one saw exhibited by any of the much-abused million.
On the whole, too, the road was rather dull this year. The
bicycles long looked for did not turn up. The riders
probably left them at home.
London, England, 1869-05-27

THE COURSE.

The Course, like the ground, has been so often describes
that one can hardly say anything new about it. If any-
thing distinguished Wednesday from preceding anniver-
saries, it was not the addition of any new or striking epi-
sodes, but the absence of many familiar incidents.
Never was there so quiet and so sober a Derby ;
seldom has there been so little of the " larking " and
riotous fun supposed to be inseparable from the occa-
sion. "Aunt Sally" is losing popularity; the race of
tumblers, mountebanks, and conjurors is becoming extent ;
there are no workers of prodigies to take the place of the
men who used to break stones with their clenched fists, or
lift huge weights with their little fingers. At a period ,
when the poorest costermonger " puts something" on the
favourite, it would be absurd to expect that any surplus
should be left tor thimbleriggers and cardsharpers. Spe-
culation on horses has become so universal that the
cheaper and less exciting forms of gambling lose their
interest. Imperceptibly, but surely, the spectacle
is becoming different from that on which Mr. Frith col-
lected the materials of a picture whiclt may serve to
remind the holiday makers of 1880 of the costumes of
their parents. The interest of the sight, however,
consists, not in the variety of the details, but in its
grandeur as a whole—in the fact that nowhere else in the
world is there gathered so vast a concourse of human beings
of all ranks and conditions. The trivial episodes of the scene
are forgotten as soon as the eye ranges over the immense
masses of black, between which flows the green racecourse.
and the ear is deafened by the Babel of the Stand House
and the Ring.
