DEATH OF MR. CHARLES FEIST.

We deeply regret to announce the death of this gentle
man, who expired on Thursday last, after a long and
painful illness. He was well-known and widely respected
by a large circle of friends. For upwards of twenty
years he superintended the Turf Department of the
Sunday Times, and was more recently appointed sporting
contributor to the London daily papers. Of the zeal,
ability, and impartiality with which Mr. Feist discharged
his arduous duties, every person who takes an interest
in racing matters is aware. Without fear or favour he
ever exposed the abuses of the Turf, whilst at the same
time be earnestly advocated the true claims of the na-
tional sport to public patronage and protection. Many
of the reforms which have of late taken place in the eco-
nomy and practice of horse•racing are attributable to
Mr. Feist. By his exertions, too, a system of reporting
was established, as complete as it was remarkable, and
his zeal it was which furnished the public with full and
accurate accounts of race meetings, in whatever
part of England they took place, on the very day after
those meetings were held.
It was in the discharge of his arduous duties that
Mr. Feist contracted the illness which terminated in
death. About two years ago, after pursuing his labours
throughout a drenching rain, he was compelled to travel
to London in his wet clothes. A severe cold ensued,
accompanied with periodical attacks of rheumatism, and
from that time his constitution gradully broke.
Mr. Feist's career was a chequered one. He was born
in Beverley, in Yorkshire, his father being a clergyman
in that town. He was intended for the law, but dur-
ing his study for that profession in London he became
acquinted with many young men who had adopted the
stage as a profession, and who have since become famous.
Mr. Feist imbibed a taste for theatrical pursuits, and,
quitting London, he joined the then celebrated Norfolk
and Suffolk company of comedians. On marrying, he
quitted the stage and commenced a career as school-
master at Swaffham, in Norfolk. After a sojourn of
about a dozen years in that town, he left it and opened a
school at Newmarket, where he lived for a considerable
period. Mr. Feist was the author of many schoolbooks,
which are now in general use. A large family is left
to deplore his loss.
