THE " LIGHT OF OTHER DAYS".—Stage-coaching com-
menced for the season between London and Brighton
on Monday morning last. The starting points are
the White Horse Cellar, Piocadilly, and the Albion
Hotel, Brighton. The coach en route for Brighton
rattled through Kennington drawn by four fast
horses, the bugle sounding " Slap bang, hero wo are
again !" The vehicle was well loaded with pas-
sengers. These coaches will run each way every day
(Suncitiys excepted). The fares are 12s. inside and 10s
outside for the whole distance, with an additional 2s. 6d.
for the box seat. The journey is to occupy fivo hours and
a half. The " ribbons" were held on Monday by Mr.
" Cherry" Angell, and the Duke of Beaufort and other
distinguished sportsmen will act as " coachmen" during
the season. The coach is entirely new, and the team is
a first-rate one.

ALDCROFT AND LORD GLASGOW.—" ArgUS " tells a
most amusing story of the means of Aldcroft and his old
master being brought together again. It seems that Mrs.
Aldcroft, in looking over her husband's clothes, found an
old cheque of Lord Glasgow's in his favour for £l9O,
wrapped up in a tenner, and which had been put away
for eleven years and forgotten by the recipient. When
the discovery was made, Lord Glasgow was communicated
with, and his lordship at once sent Aldcroft a fresh
cheque, and told him if lie could get down to the proper
weight he would re-engage him. This, by placing him-
self in a regular trainer's hands, as if he was to be pre-
pared for a fight.or a walking match, Aldcroft had been
enabled to do, and so pleased was his lordship with the
manner in which he rode his horse against The Peer, that
he wrote him a cheque for a very handsome sum. One
result, however, of Mrs. Aldcroft's discovery of the
hidden treasure is, that every other jockey's wife or
sister has been actively employed ever since in
their left-off clothes, without having as yet made a
similar amount of prize money ! going over
