NEW -ASSURANCES for a total sutn:.'of £1,518,181,
and yielding. £50,497 in Annual Premiums, had been
effected, Of Which sums the former. exceeded by £31,811,
and the latter by £2,332, the corresponding items of any
previous period ; that
* THE INCOUE had increased from £195,400 to £216,327
per annum ; and that
THE ASSURANCE FUND, after plyralnt, of £85,303
on account a Bonus at the last Division, had risen from
Tr4l!;Mrfrrf,6lo,339. _

2. As TO THE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE SOCIETY.
That the Assets on June 30, 1866, were £1,619,539 14 8
And the Liabilities on the same date 1,313,708 19 2

Leaving a surplus of £275,830 15 6

and that, after setting aside £30,000 as a special Reserve
Fund,
- -

THE AVAILABLE PROFIT was £225,830 15s. 6d.,
of which sum £225,000 was recommended for division.
3. As TO THE RESULTS OF THE DIVISION.
That the portion of this sum of £225,000—viz., five-sixths,
or £lB7,soo—which fell to the Assured, would yield a
REVERSIONARY ADDITION TO THE POLICIES
of £272,682, averaging 45 per Cent., or varying, with the
different ages, from 32 to 85 per Cont. on the premiums
paid since the last division; and that the
CASH BONUS, which is the exact equivalent of such
Reversionary Bonus, would average 26 per Cent. of the
like premiums.
The Report explained at length the nature of the In-
vestments and the bases of the Calculations, the results of
which, as above shown, are eminently favourable.

" The- next PROELTS .will take place in
January, 1872, and Persons who effecClFEw POLICIES
BEFORE THE END OF JUNE NEXT will be entitled
at that Division to one year's additional share of Profits
over later Assurers.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EPSO3.I RACES:—THURSDAY.
. Yesterday's remarkable race still occupies all thoughts
and conversation. That a horse who had br9lzon a blood

vessel within the last forn:gyt, had been stoppd in his
work, had not had a gallop since Monday.week, and who
started at 100 to 1, should yet be able to win a Derby will
long stamp this as a memorable year. In our remarks. on
the first day's racing we spoke of this Derby as one to be
characterised for its misfortunes and mediocrities; but, bad
as the year's form was known to be', it appears we hardly
realised its badness when an unprepared horse came and
won, and Wild Moor finished fourth. Such a result sets at
naught all racing judgment and calculations, and puts that
much-vaunted "public form" out of court. True, it was

he two-year-old form over again. As Hermit beat Vauban

at Stockbridge last June, so he has beaten him again hero;
bnt not a man ou Epsom Downs yesterday morning could

have been found to believe it.

The Two Thousand winner

iu all his splendid condition and bloom on one hand, the

unprepared and rather. mean-looking Hermit on the other,
it looked all Lombard-street to the proverbial orange. The

deduction is obvious, and brings us back to our promises,
only when we spoke of the year as mediocre we perhaps

used too mild a term.

To-day has even colder than Wednesday, and none but
the constant 7kt7iittia of a racecmirse were present. ; The
favourite, flerennianu-4, wits-defeated in the Tadworth

-----
Stakes by Dick Turpin,. but Lord Westmoreland managed
to win in the Carew Stakes with Master Willie; the Cor-

poral made a very near race of it, and only got beaten by
a head. It wa.s a intlier difficult thing to separate Lady
Elizabeth and Grimstoil iii thbTwo Year Old Stakes, as

their running has very nearly Made theta the same aui-

orals. From an impression, however, that this course
would suit Mr. Pryor's horse best he was made the fa-
_

vourite, and a slashing set-to between them resulted in a
dead heat. In the deciding heat Lady Elizabeth wonafter
a splendid finish by a head.
The Epsom Cup brought out a large field, in which there
were so many "well in" that it was a dangerous race to
meddle with. The favourite, Cheltenham, finished a good
race with the outsiders, the Annie Laurie and the Flutter

colt, but failed to get u 1;, and was beaten by three-quarters

of a length.
We are authorised to contradict the statement which has
appeared in a contemporary that a noble lord who won the
Two Thousand a few years back has lost £lOO,OOO on the

Derby, as it is devoid of foundation.

Corporal, to the right of his horses, came on with a clear
load of Lady Sophie, Ambition, and the favourite, the
latter lying next the rails. They ran thus half-way in
the distance, when Mr. Johnstone's colt drew away, but
was caught as they neared the stand by Master Willie,
whg obtained a-slight advantage a dozes strides from the

When the flag was lowered Lady Elizabeth, with Balsam()
and Bossy Dixon on her left, got away in advance of King
Alfred and Grimston, to the stand. Here Balsam° and
Bossy Dixon gave way, and Grimston then challenged the
leader, and, getting lip in the last stride, was just enabled
to make a dead heat of it. King Alfred was third, a length
in the rear, Weather Isle fourth, Hatchment fifth, Balsam()
sixth, Bossy Dixon seventh, and Benfleet last.
