The races seem likely to wind up merrily the festivities
which attended the Agricultural Show. The course was
thronged with pleasure folk ; indeed, on no former anni-
versary of the meeting was the attendance of general
company so numerous. A warm sunny day, too,
materially contributed to heighten the enjoyment of the
sport.
The success of Polestar for the handicap was, as the
betting indicated, a " foregone conclusion." The mare
won cleverly, and she was Ly many regarded with not a
tittle interest and curiosity, from the fact of her having
belonged to l'almer's victim—the late Mr. J. P. Cook.
Her name, too, has been rendered familiar to the public
in consequence of frequent reference having been made
to it during the progress of Palmer's trial.
The races came off as under :

The Galleywood Stakes of_3.sovs each, with 25 added.

The New Mile. 3 subs.

the hill at the back of the coarse, Tug•o'•War took up
the running, and Polestar went on second, Sirocco,
Winkfield, and Pembedw being next. At the distance
Winkfield dropped backed beaten. Polestar waited on
Tug-o'-War until nearly opposite the stand, when she
made her effort, and von cleverly by half a length.
Pembedw was a very bad third, and Sirocco fourth.

The others, pulling up, passed the post thus—Hum-
boldt fifth, Veteran sixth, Winkfield seventh, and Emu-
lous gelding last. Sirocco ran in his shoes, and threw
one of them on going down the hill.

GooDwooD STAKES AND CllP.—Youatt Wm. Gray's
advice on the whole meeting will be issued this day and
tc-morrow. It is a well known fact that I named 15
winners at this meeting last year. Perhaps there is
no meeting in the year that I bestow so much study on
as " Princely Goodwood." Last year Quince and
Heroine (first and second) were my selection for the
Stakes, and Earocino for the Cup. lam equally certain
of success again, although in opposition to the betting.
Terms : Goodwood, ss. ; including the Ebor, 7s. Bd. ;
to the Yolk, 10s. Address 15, Charing-cross.

TIIE MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF THE

ARVE

The following is the Report of the Select COM'
mittee appointed on the Medical Department of
the Army :
" 1. That the governing power of the Army Medical
Department should be vested, as at present, in 0110 in-
dividual, and not in a board.
2. That the Commander-in-Chief should exercise
control over the appcintments and promotions of the
Director• General.
" 3. That the principle of general competition, or of
special examination, in recognised medical schools be
applied, as far as practicable, to admission into the
Army Medical Department.
" 4. That no medical officer shall be promoted to, be
staff-surgeon of the first class until be shall have served
not less than three years as a regimental medical officer.
" 5. That the rules which guide promotion be pub-
lished.

" G. That retirement be optional after 21, and com-
pulsory from regimental and second-class staff-surgeon
after 35 years' service.
"7. That facilities be given for the purposes of study
in civil hospitAls, such prec:lutions being taken as vrill
guarantee the period of absence being passed in such
study.
"8. That the regulation which requires officers of
the department to serve two years in the rank to which
they have been promoted upon the pay of their previous
rank be abolished.

" 9. That the pay of the army surgeons and assistant•
surgeons be increased, as may be determined by the
executive Government; but this committee is in favour
of 10. per diem as the pay of the assistant-surgeon on
first appointment.
10. That the relative position of medical and combat-
ant officers be not changed, and that the army stir•
geons be not made a more military body than at pre•
sent.
" 11. That the system of confidential reports should
be placed upon the same footing with those relating to
combatant officers.
"12. That the committee agree with the recommen-
dation of the Director•Generat as to leave of absence,
honorary distinctions, funeral honours, special services,
and relative rank.

"13. That as it has been stated to the committee that
the supply of medical officers was insufficient during the
late war, the establishment of civil hospitals may have
been necessary ; but your committee trust that the re-
currence to such alternatives may be avoided for the
future.

" 14. That a person duly qualified to compound mecha
canes, and attested for military service, should form a
part of the medical establishment of every regiment ;
and that those persons should be selected either from the
Medical Staff Corps, from the ranks of the regular army,
or from the orphan sons of soldiers educated at the Mili-
tary Asylum ; that they should be regularly trained and
educated with a view to the duties to be discharged ;
and that no one shall be considered eligible for eniplor
merit until he has given proof, on examination by a
board, that he may with safety to the sick soldier be
intrusted to compound the medicines to be administered
to him.
"15. That the Medical Staff Corps, which was raised
for service during the late war, should continue a Part
of the peace establishment ; and that it is desirable it
should be recruited from the ranks of the array, provided
vclunteers offer in sufficient numbers, possessing the re-
quirements deemed essential to qualify for the particular
service on which the corps is to be employed.
"IG. That the standard of providing clothing and
earthenware vessels for eating and drinking at Hagar
Hospital be extended to the general hospitals of the
army ;, that accommodation for sick officers be proeided
in them ; and that a military lunitic asylum he pro-
vided, as embraced in the design for the new MilitarY
Hospital at Southampton.
"17. That the question of hospital stoppages be left
to the discretion of the Horse Guards and the War-
office.
"13. That at the outbreak of any future war separate
transport should be provided for the conveyance of all
medical stores ; but your committee leave the
minor
arrangements of detail to the Executive.
"19. The committee in the course of its inquiries
have bad incidentally brought before them the admirable
manner in which the army and civil surgeons have per-
formed their duties in the East, and your committee ar•
glad to take this opportunity of recording the high opt-
pion they entertain of their merits.
