Newt N-antymwyn M a continuation westward of the'
celebrated Nantymwyn Mines.`• These Mines have been
workedto immense profit for centuries, and appear to be
perfectly inexhaustible. Some idea may be formed of the
great value of these Lodes from the fact that they occapy
a channel of 130 feet in width, consisting of six divisions
or lodes, and that a sink on one of them is now yielding
eighteen tons of rich quality ore, worth upwards of £2OO
per fathom for Lead.
2dly. The Gilfach property consists of a Lead Mine,
worked to some extent and furnished with water machi-
nery, in which a discovery of Lead Ore has been made
by an Adit. It is proposed by the Company to extend the
shaft downwards on this course of ore, as well as to ex-
plore another discovery of ore in the sett on the Lady
Eliza No. 2 Lodo,where there is a good back of ore ground
cropping up to and extending a; considerable length along
the surface.
3dly, Glan-Towy is an old Lead Mine. Shafts, which
have yielded Lead Ore in some cprAntity, exist on the top
of the hill, and the present Company propose to drive an
Adit to prove the value of the Lode under the old sinks.
Plans taken from the ordnance survey, showing the ex-
act position of the Lodes, together with ground plans of
the estate sections of the Mines, and reports by skilful
mining engineers, are appended, and will be forwarded on
application to the Secretary. Specimens of the ore may
be seen at the Company's Offices.
Taking into consideration 'the position of the Mines, the
highly favourable prospects, and the return of .ore being
immediately available, the Directors feel confident that,
with the outlay proposed, profits equal to the adjoining
mines will be participated in by the Shareholders.
Applications for Shares, to 1)3 nccompanied with the

NOTTINGHAM SPRING MEETING.—TUESDAY.
Though the gathering inaugurated at the "city of lace"
to-day did not come up to that celebrated last week on
Carhohno at Lincoln, it nevertheless sustained its reputa-
tion and produced some good racing. Fortunately for the
managers of the meeting the frost did not on this occasion,
as on the last anniversary, put its veto on the sport, neces-
sitating a postponement of the cnncluding day's racing.
The rain which fell on Monday night had no perceptible
effect upon the course, and to-day the weather was delight-
fully fine, the sun being somewhat tempered by a cool
breeze, and altogether there was a strong contrast between
to-day and the opening day of the last anniversary. The
course is situated in Sherwood Forest, traditionally asso-
ciated with "Robin Hood and his merrie men," and is one
of the best planned race-courses in England, affording as
it does an unobstructed view of each race. Since the last
meeting a great many improvements have been made in
the enclosure, in the vicinage of the stand, and the ap-
proaches to the course, for which the authorities are to be
commended. Still further improvements and alterations
are contemplated, some of which are commenced, and when
those are effected, which will be by the Summer Meeting,
the stand and enclosure will bo one of the largest and most
convenient in England. For the accommodation of the
reporters and the jockeys a large portion of the enlarged
weighing-room had been set apart. The attendance was
large, and, though some of the leading members of the Turf
who "assisted" at Lincoln were absent, there were others
present among the "Nottingham lambi" who did not parti-
cipate in the opening of the racing campaign. Mr. Brad-
field issued an excellent programme, containing, as it did,
six races for the opening day, a like number being appor-
tioned for the second day. Clarice wen the Trial Stakes
very easily, with little Kenyon up, this being his first run
this season. The handicap produced a field of 10 runners,
and Beadle confirmed his Lincoln running by winning
easily. Speculation was principally in favour of Beadle
and Dulcimer, and the "gentlemen" backers were good
winners by the result. The remainder of the racing does
not call for any particular remark beyond the appended
details:

olds Est 71b, four Bst 51b, five 9st, six and aged 9st 31b;

Valentine making play on the left, closely attended by
Flying Jib in the centre of the course, General Sherman
and Gordian Knot bringing up the rear until approaching
the distance-post, where Flying Jib dropped back, and Pan-
taloon, who had been waiting, drew up to Lady Valentine,
mud, heading her at the half-distance, the pair finished
a close and exciting race home, ending in favour of the
Marquis of Hastings's horse by a neck. Flying Jib was

beaten off.

Col. Knox's filly winning cleverly by a length from Op-
prossor, who defeated Ilarlequina half a length for second

After one or two breaks away the competitors were de-
spatched to an average start, Brick and Bertie getting
somewhat badly off. After going a short distance Beadle
assumed a clear lead of The Lizard, who was attended by
Dulcimer and Anchorite, Lady Lambton heading the re-
mainder, who were whipped in by Brick and Bartle. They
ran in this order to the turn for the back stretch, when
Anchorite was cannoned against, and the jockey (Gradnell)
was thrown, and, although severely injured, no bones were
broken, the horse going on riderless. Immediately after
making the turn Beadle increased his lead of Dulcimer,
whose immediate attendant was Brick (who had consider-
ably improved his position), Lizard and Lady Lambton
going on next, side by side, while behind them was Ex-
peller, some distance in the rear of•whom, and in the order
;name.; lay'Bertie, Vigorous, and Black Prince. As the
lot were approaching the Mitnsfield turn Exceller ran
thiongh- his horses, joining Beadle behind the elevated
ground. When fairly in the straight Exceller beaded the
Duke of Hamilton's horse, and the pair ran, with The
Lizard in close attendance, to the distance, where the trio
closed and finished a close and exciting race, but Beadle
succeeding in stalling off his opponents very cleverly, just
before reaching the enclosure, won easily by a couple of
lengths from The Lizard. Exceller was defeated half a
length for second place, and finished 10 lengths in advance
of Dulcimer. Brick was fifth, half a length in the rear of
Mr. Payne's mare. Vigorous was a bad sixth, Black
Prince seventh. Bertio and Lady Lambton pulled up op-

WEST DRAYTON FLAT AND HURDLE RACES.

This meeting commenced yesterday (Tuesday), and was
a great success. The course has been much improved, and
was capital going. The ring and stand were largely pa-
tronised; speculation was rife, the sport good, and all
passed off most satisfactorily. The Great Western Rail-
way Company ran a special, but their arrangements fell
far short of the requirements of the occasion. The details
of the running will be found below :

fair start; Mimulus, attended by Countess 8010, cut out
the running to the distance, where La Sorrentino, who had
