a lead of a length, hotly pursued by the favourite, who,
however, was unable to get up, and was beaten very cle-

Sacerdos, 6to 1 agst Henham Lass, 7 to 1 agst Pomona,
10 to 1 agst Man Friday, 20 to 1 agst Mousetrap.
After some delay, chiefly caused by the fractiousness of
Catawba, who once or twice broke away and ran some dis-
tance, the lot got away in good order ; Henham Lass, Can-
tab, Pomona, Man Friday, and Mousetrap forming the
front rank across the course. On entering the cords Can-
tab, with Henham Lass and Mousetrap, took up the run-
ning, the latter going on and winning by four lengths ; two

Gladiolus made the running, closely followed by Gallus,
Confectioner, Miss Digby, Mavourneen, Ambush, and New-
stead, the others close up, with Moorcock running conspi-
cuously in the centre. On breasting the hill Miss Digby
and Confectioner were beaten, and Gladiolus continued his
lead. Descending the hill, Ambush took second place ; but
running most unkindly all over the course, was passed by
Moorcock and Newstead, the grey winning, after a good
race, by a length ; a head between the second and third ;
Miss Digby was a tolerable fourth; Ambush fifth, Gallus
and Niger next; the last two were Confectioner and Ment-

Sweepstakes of 500 sovs, 200 ft, for 3-yr-olds ; colts, Bst

Thormanby in the centre, and Tom Bowline lying off. They
ran thus until descending the hill, where the Duke of Bed-
ford's colt was beaten, and on entering the cords Tom Bow-
line joined issue with Thormanby, and the two ran a tre-
mendous race home, Tom getting his neck in front half-
vay up, and winning, after a most exciting sot to, by a head.
A bad third.

Lord Wilton's Lady Evelyn colt received ft from Lord
Glasgow's Clarissa colt. T.Y.C. 300 h ft. No weights
mentioned.

Sweepstakes of 300 sous each, h ft, for two-yr-old ; colts,
Bst 71b ; fillies, Sst 31b. Bretby Stakes Course, for which
Mr. Merry's Sweet Hawthorn and Lord Stamford's Wal-
loon were left in, was declared off by consent.
Although the weather was cold it was bright and clear,
presenting a marked contrast to tho wretched aspect of
things on Wednesday.
Speculation on the Cambridgeshire is at a complete dead

lock, and neither on Wednesday night at the rooms or on
the course to-day, could we ascertain that a bet had been
made.

On the whole, the day's sport was excellent. The fields
were, in several instances, very strong, and the finishes of
an interesting and exciting character. The nature of the
racing, however, is fully explained in the foregoing return.
A most superb struggle between Tom Bowline and the
Derby winner wound up the proceedings after a magnifi-
cent display of horsemanship on the part of Aldcroft and
wells ; the race ended in the defeat of Thormanby, who
could never quite get up, by a head. The issue of this con-
test excited much interest, Lord Glasgow's colt being
matched to run the American horse, Umpire, for a thou-
sand pounds, on the last day of the lloughton Meeting, at
even weights.
The Oatlands Plato (Wednesday)—Ochiltree and the
Sneer filly ought to have been included among the starters
for this race.

Prologue .
Aurora led all the way, and came in an easy winner by
two lengths.

because the seculiar instruction has not been accom-
panied by religious teaching. Under such circum-
stances I would ask whether we have not a right to
call upon the State to pursue the course to which it
is pledged, and from which, without the consent of
Parliament, it has no right to deviate ? (Cheers.)
The doctrines of the Church contain within them
the essence of truth, and we have in the teaching
of our schools a system of education under which
we can bring up our children. We have no desire
whatever to trench upon the religious privilege, or
interfere with the sincere convictions of other deno-
minations ; but we do ask that our own schools
shall receive that raced of support which the State
is bound to give in accordance with the rules which
itself has laid down. Perhaps I may be per-
mitted to say a few words as to the kind of
education which it seems desirable to provide
in this country. I think the over zeal for educa-
tion manifested by some persons in this country
is extremely objectionable. In reading the reports
of the government inspectors of schools I have been
very much struck by one fact, namely, that in all
the reports the tender age of the children in the
schools is commented upon; and the inspectors put
forward in forcible language the absolute necessity
of not giving an amount of education to those young
children which will confuse their minds, and which
they cannot possibly digest or even understand.
(Hear, hear.) I said before, and I venture to say
again, that with children of that age the simpler the
form of education the more likely it is to lay hold '
of their minds, to make a permanent impression,
and furnish them with materials which may be of
use to them in after-life. There is, perhaps, not one
man in 100 who requires in after-life that kind of
education which is given, superficially of course, in
some schools to young children. Depend upon it,
that where there is a genius, he will find his way
out of the sphere in which he has been born, if you
will give him but a moderate education. The rea-
son why education is advancing so rapidly in these
days is not so much because there are some few
people pressing it forward as because the require-
ments of life are now such that men have begun to
find out that without education they cannot hope to
succeed in life. It is the advance of science, the
necessity of having men adapted for the work they
are called onto perform, that have given an impulse
to education. So long as a man has only to do a
kind of work which does not require tha exercise of
his mind he will not exercise it, but now that you
bring to bear upon the pursuits of the country in
agriculture, in commerce, in war, and in anything.
else, appliances which never existed before, it has
become absolutely necessary that you should have
a greater number of skilled workmen ; and to make
those skilled workmen you will require a greater
and more general advance of education. But
don't be in a hurry. In this matter people are
apt to suppose that they ought to see in their
lifetime the fruit of their labours, but I do not
believe any of us can. The advances which have
been made in our time are wonderful, yet I ven-
ture to say that in the course of the next half
century there will be still greater progress, and
such an advance in point of fact as no human
being can have any conception of. Instruments,
however, will be raised up for the occasion. (Hear,
hear.) No doubt it is necessary that means should
be provided for imparting the very highest descrip-
tion of education, but the people who require such
an education are confined in a vary circumscribed
sphere. For the general education of the people, all
that in 99 cases out of 100 is required is to impart
such instruction as will fit the children receiving it
for the duties they are likely hereafter to be called
upon to discharge. Something has been said in
reference to training colleges, but in that respect I
believe that mistakes may be made. You have had
schoolmasters more anxious to give a superficial
than a sound education, and I think that it is Mr.
Norris, one of her Majesty's inspectors, who has
pointed out the injustice of such a system, inasmuch
as only one-fourth of children sent to school are
able to receive the higher branches of education,
the remaining three-fourths simply passing through
the lower classes in the school, and receiving the
merest smattering of education, where if greater
attention were paid to sound and useful instruction,
all would derive benefit. Perhaps I may be excused
when I say that the education imparted ought to be
fitted in the main for the three-fourths of the chil-
dren who only remain at school for a short time, and
ought not to be entirely devoted to the one-fourth
who remain for a longer period. (Hear, hear.) But
I say also that a religious education is necessary, and
I cannot conclude my remarks without stating that
if religion is to be ignored, I would for my part
rather see no religion at all. Perhaps that is a strong
remark to make, but I think that education without
religious instruction is in many respects a positive
evil. We have the example of the secular instruc-
tion of America, and I find that in that country, in
spite of a rate, which I believe amounts to about
£2 for every boy put to school in the common
schools of the country, the clergy and laity of the
episcopal church are making great efforts to esta-
blish the parochial system, so efficient do they
find the working of the secular system. (Hear.)
Knowledge is a good and great thing, but wis-
dom is a better ; and I believe that know-
ledge without religion is not wisdom. I believe in
that which has been handed down, not through
any human agency, but by divine inspiration itself,
that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wis-
dom. (Cheers.)
The Earl of RomNEY then proposed a vote of
thanks to the most reverend chairman.

The Archbishop of CANTERBURY,in responding,
thanked the laity for the co-operation he had re-
ceived at their hands in the cause of education ; and
he observed that its advance in this country was
gradual and progressive, so that it was no great
wonder if that advance was not always perceptible.
He expressed his opinion that education and reli-
gion never should be separated, but always advance
hand in hand.
The meeting • then separated.
