Fordham made a last and determined effort, but the fa-
vourite could do no more than make a dead heat of it.
Deciding Heat-11 to 8 on Athena.
Fordharn again selected the higher ground, and made
the running with a slight lead of the Duke's mare, until
reaching the dip, when the pair closed, and came on
together at a moderate pace. On the top of tho hill they
commenced to race, the favourite having a slight advan-
tage, but Leonie getting on equal terms with her at the
centre of the Stand, passed her and won by a length and a
half amid deafening cheers.

Betting-6 to 4on Mameluko.
The race was invested with almost as much interest as
the preceding one, and the preliminary canter of the
" dark" one—Mameluke—was watched with the keenest
anxiety, but opinions were generally favourable. Ford-
ham again selected the higher ground, having Innerdale
on his whip hand, and the moment the word was given he
assumed a slight lead of his antagonist. The pair however
lay well together till the half-distance, where a desperate
race commenced, Innerdale momentarily appearing to have
the best of it, as he succeeeded in getting his head in
front, but Fordham finishing with immense determination
won literally in the last stride by a head, a result which
elicited loud cheering.

CAUTION.

The following also ran :—The Beadle, Lozenge, Mus
keteer, Black Prince, Panacea, Nunquam Dormio.
Betting-5 to 2 agst Lord Ronald, 4to 1 agst Ailesbury,
11 to 2 agst Lucifer, 100 to 15 agst The Beadle, 7 to 1
agst Panacea.
Ailesbury cut out the work clear of Lucifer, Panacea,
and Nunquam Dormio till they wore opposite the
Danebury clump, where Lucifer took up the run-
ning, having a lead of Panacea, Musketeer, Ailes-
bury, and Lord Ronald, the last of all being Lozenge. This
order was maintained with but trifling variation in their
respective positions until coming up the hill for the turn,
when Lord Ronald headed Ailesbury and Musketeer, Nun-
quam Dormio being next. At this point, in the extreme
rear, as they rounded the turn, Lord Ronald took second
place, and when fairly in the straight assumed a clear lead
of Lucifer on the left; Musketeer in the centre of the course,
with Lozenge and Beadle on the loft. Of this lot Mus-
keteer was the first to give way, and Ailesbury came up
on the lower ground. 'rho Duke of Beaufort's horse held
the advantage until about a dozen strides from the chair,
when Fordham made a rush and won cleverly by a neck
from Lucifer, who headed Lord Ronald at the Stand ; the
last-named was a bad third, Beadle fourth, Panacea fifth,
Nunquam Dormio sixth, Musketeer seventh, and Black
Prince last.
The Ninth Biennial Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 100
added, for two-year-olds; colts Bst 101 b, fillies Bst 51b

Marquis of Hastings' See-Saw, Bst 71b (Cannon) 2
Mr. Sutton's Ironmaster, Bst 101 b (Challoner) 3
The following also ran :—Aquila, Lord Palmerston,
Bearskin, Prince Louis, Tibicen, Chic, Mortimer, Bird-
seeker, Lady Seymour, and Carlos.
Betting-11 to 8 agst Europa, 9to 2 agst Mortimer, 7
to 1 agst Lord Palmerston, 10 to 1 agst Ironmaster, 11 to
1 agst See-Saw, and 25 to 1 agst Carlos.
After the competitors had got to the post it was die'
covered that Europa had weighed out as Bst 21b, claiming
a 31b allowance for being out of a dam that nev:r bred a
winner. This was found to be incorrect, and the favourite
cantered back and weighed out without the allowance.
The start was thus delayed for some time, and was further
protracted by a false one. Eventually tho lot were de-
spatched, Aquila showing the way, attended by Lord Pal-
merston, Lady Seymour, Chic, Europa, and Ironmaster,.
this lot running in close company, the last pair being
See-Saw and Bearskin. With the exception of
Tibicen, who was left at the post, they all ran iu
this order until rounding the turn into the straight, where
Chic bolted out of the course. Europa, who was now on
the inside, drew to the front, closely attended by Mortimer,
lronmaster, Lord Palmerstou, and Aquila, the latter, how-
ever, giving way before reaching the distance, where See-
Saw, who had been gradually improving her position,
singled herself out on the extreme left. At the commence-
ment of the enclosure Lord Palmerston and Mortimer gave
way, leaving the race apparently to Europa and Ironmaster,
the favourite taking a clear lead in the last half-dozen
strides, but Cannon, finishing with a rush, was only de-
feated by a neck; Ironmaster was beaten a length from
second, Mortimer was fourth, Lord Palmerston fifth, Carlos
sixth, Birdseeker seventh, Prince Louis eighth, Lady Sey-
mour ninth, Bearskin tenth, and Aquila eleventh. Chic
and Tibicen walked in.
A Plato of 50 sovs; two year olds 7st, three Bst 91b, four
9st, five and upwards 9st 21b ; the winner to be sold for
300 sovs; if entered for 200 sovs allowed 61b, 100 101 b ;

The following also ran :—Secrecy, Primula, Haymarket,
Mongrel, and Kaffir's Land.
Betting-2 to 1 each agst Canute and Mongrel, 6to 1
agst Paris, 10 to 1 agst Haymarket, 100 to 7 agst Primula.
Paris delayed the start a long time by refusing to join
his horses, eventually bolting, and having to be led back
to the post. When the flag was lowered Haymarket held
a slight lead of Canute on the left, and Mongrel and Kaffir's
Land on the right, Paris being last off, and bringing up
the rear. After going a quarter of a mile Canute took up
the running, followed by Signet, Mongrel, and Paris to
the Stand, where Canute hung fearfully, and a collision
seemed inevitable. This, however, was fortunately
avoided, and the race became a match between Signet and
Paris ; and although the latter tried to cut it, Cannon
riding with great patience and ability, won cleverly by a'
neck. Canute was third, defeated half a length only;
Mongrel was fourth, Secrecy fifth, Primula sixth, Hay-
market next, and Kaffir's Land last.
The winner was sold to Mr. G.Reynolds for 200 guineas.
Mr. J. B. Day claimed Primula, Mr. Hope Canute, and the
Marquis of Hastings Signet.
The Champagne Stakes of 10 sovs each, with 100 added
by the club, for two year olds ; colts Bat 101 b, fillies Bst

Betting.-3 to 1 agst Cock of the Walk-5 to 1 each
agst St. Ronan, See-saw, and Rabican-10 to 1 agst Mac-
duff-12 to 1 each agst The Fawn and Wild Blood.
Wild Blood made play slightly in advance of Rabican,
next to whom, in a cluster on the higher ground, came
,St.
Ronan, Angus, and See-saw, and they ran thus to the dip,
when Wild Blood gave way, and Rabican was left in
advance of St. Ronan, Angus, and See-saw till opposite
the Stand, where Fordham brought See-saw out, and
finishing with a rush, won cleverly by three parts of a
length. A length separated second and third, Angus was
fourth, The Fawn fifth. Several lengths off came Citron,
Wild Blood, and Macduff, the two last being the Norna
colt and Logarithm.
A Plato of 100 sovs ; three year olds list 21b, four 12st,

Betting.-6 to 4 agst Master Robert-2 to .1 agst Merry
Monarch.
Golden Leaf made the running, followed by Quirina,
Master Robert, and Merry Monarch, the trio lying well
together, Fairfield, who whipped round them when the
flag fell, bringing up the roar. This order was maintained
to the distance, when Merry Monarch shot out and won
cleverly by a neck from Master Robert ; Quirina finished a
bad third, Golden Leaf fourth, and Fairfield cantered in
last.
The winner was sold to Mr. Mackenzie for 170 guineas.

Holloway's well-esteemed ointment and pills can be ob-

combined all that science and invention can supply for the
relief of suffering humanity, and the restoration of the
afflicted to ease, strength, and activity.

PRICY 4d.
STAMPED sd.

of Convocation to be members of the Church of Eng

Mr. GLADSTONE would like very much to• hear on
what authority the hou. member made that assertion.

Mr. MOWBRAY said he merely believed that was
the case from certain circumstances that had transpired,

all of them pointing in that direction.

A discussion then took place, during which the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer said he had no desire or intention

to alter the constitution of any universities by any of the
provisions of the bill.
Mr. TREVELYAN having withdrawn his amendment,
the division was taken on the question that after the

word "London" the words "and Durham" be inserted.
Ayes 226
Noes 234
Majority —B
The words "and Durham"• were accordingly rejected,
and the clause enacts that the University of London alone
shall send a member to Parliament.

Clauses 16 and 17 were agreed to, it being arranged that
the discussion on the amendment of Sir J. Collier to the

latter should not be taken until the bringing up of the

Clause 18 (joint occupation clause) was agreed to.
Clause 19, relative to the registration of voters, occupied
the attention of the house up till seven o'clock, at which

hour the sitting was suspended until nine o'clock.
On reassembling at nine o'clock,

Mr. FAWCETT moved the following resolution—
" That in the opinion of this house it is undesirable that
tho fellowships and foundation scholarships of Trinity
College, Dublin, should bo exclusively appropriated to
those who are members of the Established Church."

The motion was seconded by Mr. BAGWELL.
Mr. MONSELL moved as an amendment—" That the
constitution of the University of Dublin should be altered
so as to enable and fit it to include colleges connected with
other forms of religion than that of the Established Church,
and that the members of such colleges should be entitled
to share in all the benefits now enjoyed by the members
of Trinity College."
The O'CONOR DON seconded the amendment.
Mr. LEFROY opposed both the original motion and the
amendment, contending that Trinity College was founded
by a Protestant Queen at the instance of a Protestant
archbishop, and for Protestant purposes alone.
Lord NAAS contended that the object of the motion
I was an undisguised attempt to revolutionise the character
of Trinity College and its relations with the Established
Church. The noble lord also stated several objections to
the amendment, and amongst them that, if agreed to, its
effect would be to place the college upon a footing analo-
gous to that of the University of London, by depriving it
of its religious character. Moreovar, he held that Trinity
College, as now constituted, gave a good mixed educa'iom
and that all classes of her Majesty's subjects were fairly
represented there.
Mr. LAWSON challenged the accuracy of this asser-
tion, and contended that whereas the vast majority of the
population of Ireland was Roman Catholic, the average
number of students professing that faith at the university
was not more than 50 or CO.
Sir F. HEYGATE opposed the motion and amendment,
and was followed by Mr. BAGWELL, who moved the ad-
journment of the debate.
Mr. GLADSTONE hoped the Government would keep
in view the urgency of the question, as it was time that
some progress should be made with those Irish questions.
Real civil disabilities were now inflicted on a portion of
the Irish people by their exclusion from the endowment
of Trinity College, and he asked the Government to con-
sider the consequences which would follow from a multi-
plication of universities in Ireland.
Mr. BAGWELL insisted that the University of Dublin
was sectarian, and that the object of both motion and
amendment was to make it national.
The motion for the adjournment was agreed to without

a division.
Leave was given to Mr. Lefevre to bring in a bill to en-
able persons to secure to their wives and children the
benefit of assurances on their lives by nomination en-
dcrsed on the policy.
Mr. CIIILDERS moved a resolution to the effect that
it was incumbent en her Majesty's Government to
institute inquiries with a view to the reform of the
Middlesex registry ; and that, pending such inquiries,
steps should be taken to put a stop to the receipt of
illegal fees by the sinecure registrars, and to prevent any
appointment to the office of registrar on a vacancy occur-
ring.
Mr. Secretary HARDY admitted that the fees were
excessive, and that the offices were sinecures, but objected
to prejudging the question as to the illegality of the fees.
He was quite willing, however, to agree to the first part
of the motion, which stated that it was incumbent on the
Government to institute inquiries with a view to the re-
form of the Middlesex registry.
Sir R. PALMER said there could bo no doubt of the
fees being illegal, but he recommended Mr. Childers to
accede to the suggestion of the Homo Secretary.
After a short discussion, Mr. Childers consenting, the
resolution so amended was agreed to.
The motion for the third reading of the Tests Abolition
(Oxford and Cambridge) Bill led to some opposition,
chiefly on the ground of proceeding at so late an hour
(ten minutes past one o'clock), and a motion by Mr. Hen-
ley for the adjournment of the house was rejected by 95
to 80. _ _ _

Mr. COLERIDGE, who had charge of the bill, then
gave way, and the third reading was fixed for this day
week.
The other business was disposed of, and the house ad-
journed at twenty-five minutes beforo two o'clock until
twelve o'clock this day.

HOW RAILWAYS ARE MANAGED.

(From the Times.)

It seems impossible-to conjecture what revelations
may yet be in store for us respecting the administra-
tion of railways. The public might have thought
that after the London, Chatham, and Dover Rail-
way all other transactions would appear tame and
stale. But the report of the Committee of Inves-
tigation into the affairs of the London and Brighton
line, an abstract of which we published on Monday,
is more than sufficient to provide a new sensation.
The collapse is not so complete, nor are the trans-
actions of such magnitude, but, considered as the
history of the ruin of a railway company, this re-
cord is probably unique. It furnishes the most
extraordinary instance which has yet come before
the public eye of the manner in which sound pro-
perty has been squandered, and of the fatuity, if
not downright dishonesty, by which the disaster has
been caused. Something, perhaps, is due to the
special acuteness of the Committee of Investigation,
who had the advantage of possessing Lord West-
bury for their chairman, for we have never read so
clear and incisive an analysis of such a subject. But
the character of the transactions would of itself
be sufficient to lend to this report an unusual
interest.
The report commences by a short account of
the history of the Brighton Company for the last
17 years, from 1849 to 1866. This space of time
is divided into periods, marked by very different
characteristics. From\ 1849 to 1854 Mr. Laing was
Chairman ; he was succeeded in 1855 by Mr. Leo
Schuster, and the latter gentleman is said to have
been the reigning spirit of the second period. Dur-
ing the first of these periods the policy of the Board
of Directors was " to abstain from extensions, to
keep down the capital account, to maintain friendly
relations with neighbouring companies, and to cul-
tivate the traffic and reduce expenses." In the
second period a policy precisely the opposite has been
pursued. The result is shown in two remarkable
tables, giving the comparative increase in the capital
and income of the Company during the two periods.
In 1848 the capital of the Company amounted to
£6,955,000, and its income to £266,000. In 1854
the capital amounted to £7,690,000, .having been
increased by no more than £735,000, while the net.
income had developed to £391,000, showing an
tihne-
crease of £125,000. Between 1854 and 1866
.
creased to £15,762,000, while the net inc
capital had been more than. doubled,

more than 5 per cent.
riod it had been reduced froorit
than 3 per cent. Moreover, .
lthse to little
added to capital in the second period, no less than
£7,300,000 was composed of preference shares and
debentures, and consequently " a permanent charge
of nearly £400,000 a year was incurred to earn an
additional net income of £113,000 a year." Nor
does this even represent the full result of the policy
of the second period. At the commencement of the
present year the company were committed to a
further expenditure of three millions, and if their
engagements had been carried out the capital of the
company would have consisted in round numbers of
