BRIGHTON RACE CLUB.—TxrcRsDAY.
The sport on the Club Day gives signs of dwindling
down to small proportions. There were eight races to-day,
but there was nothing particularly worthy of commen t
except the fine struggle between Speculum and Veda in
the Ninth Biennial, where the former with odds on him
was beaten by a head, and the tremendous upset of the
great favourites See-Saw and Contempt in tho 100 cove
Plato, by the extreme outsider Philosopher. Tho Brighton
three days have been disastrous to backers.
Tho weather to-day was delightfully fine and the attend-
ance very good.

THE QUEEN'S FAVOUR •FOR BALmoRAL.--The
Quoeu writes in her journal at Balmoral, Oct. 13, 1856
Every year my heart becomes more fixed in this dear
Paradise, and so much more so now that all has become
my dearest Albert's own creation, own work, own build-
ing, own laying out, as at Osborne, that his great taste
and the impress of LP clear hand have been stamped every-
where."
