DINNE FOR D and CO.. Chemists.

throughout the world.

mR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has Introduced an entirely new descrip-
tion of A ELT IFICIA L FEE 1' 11, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro a the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay. and will
be found. superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require toe extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, anti will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
In mastication.

EPSOM RACES, FRIDAY.
THE OAKS.

The weather mitigated somewhat of its rigour to-day ;
that is to say, it was not quite so cold, but still cold enough
to make summer finery look forlorn and pitiable under the
leaden sky, which few gleams of sunshine enlivened. The
Hill was bare in comparison with former years, and the
general attendance showed a decided falling off. This, of
course, is not surprising ; and if we wonder at anything it
is that, comparatively small as was the assemblage, it was
not smaller: It takes a great deal, hoWever, as is often re-
marked, to make English men and women forego their
holiday; so, despite the bitter wind and threatening
clouds, there were still the usual adjuncts of the scene,
though curtailed in their proportions.
The Oaks had been so settled and agreed upon by every
ono as a foregone conclusion for Achievement that all
speculation on it was checked, and the field dwindled
down to the smallest on record. Ten were nominated on
the card, and of these eight only came to the post ; and
with the exception of Hippia and Bumblekite nothing was

fancied.
The visitors to the paddock had only the opportunity
of studying the field, as, with questionable taste, Achieve-
ment never came in till her race was over. She has, how-
ever, not improved since last year, having " furnished"
very little, and is a high stilty filly, looking, despite her
fine forehand and other grand points, anything but adapted
to the rise and fall of the Derby courso. Of those mostly
fancied within the enclosure Sir Joseph Hawley's filly
took immensely, being a low, compact, muscular mare,
with wonderful limbs, and wearing legs coming well under
her. Still she did not go as well as she had promised, nor
prove so thoroughly when stripped, as when one had only
the chance of seeing those wonderful old Weatherbit limbs.
Minster Bell was as pretty and racing-like as anything,
but deficient of bone and weak in her back ; while Romp-
ing Girl, a big-grown, loose-made, coarse mare, would
seem to have been appropriately named, as she was sadly
blemished. Bumblekito was also no beauty, being a low,
angular, ragged animal, with good limbs, but with her
tail in full play. Sour de Oharite is a small, wiry filly,
with a " waspy" waist ; and Bounceaway another neat or
almost weedy one. The Baron's filly was on the upper
side, and not seen by many until saddled; but she was by
far the best-looking of the lot, havingt "furnished" and
thickened a good deal since last season, and being, if not
exactly handsome, a very useful, compact mare. She has
rather a plain head with a small eye, a short strong neck,
and well-laid shoulders. She is very deep and round
about the heart, has a capital short back, and good loins,
with big, powerful quarters, but falling away towards the
hocks, which are small, and high from the ground. Being,
moreover, not very fine drawn, nothing pleased the eyo
more, and good judges put her down as the only hope of
the forlorn.
Achievemont was saddled et the Warm, and, eig ehe

came down the coarse, met her small field cantering ur
Custance pulled up his mare opposite the Stand, and they
passed her in single file, like troops before their co:n-
inanding officer. There wore niany investments on Hippia
at the last moment, her genii looks gaining her many sup-
porters; but Buniblekite's backers must have felt, when
they saw her escapades at the post, that they leant on a
very broken reed. She showed her usual temper, kicking
and lashing out in all directions, and the ominous whisk
of her tail was visible without the aid of a Voightlauder.
When despatched the pace was so wretched that to it, or
rather the want of it, we are almost inclined to attribute
the result, for the modern Crucifix was beaten, and beaten
easily, by Hippia ; and not only that, but such a very mo-
derate animal as Romping Girl made a dead heat with her
for second place. Now, though. Colonel Pearson's mare
may not be a stayer, nor the Derby course be exactly
suited to her, this can hardly be accounted as her form,
and we must still take the liberty of believing that if there
ha,d been something to make the running with her grand
turn of speed she would have cut down her horses and got
home. But she was beaten a dozen strides from the chair,
and Daley, sitting as quietly on Ilippia as he had on the
Hermit, passed her, and landed his second great coup for
his first master, amid uproarious cheering. Jockeys, now-
a-days, seldom win the two great events in the same year.
Templeman and Fr ink Butler used to have the trick of it
some 20 years since, but it has remained for one of the least
fortunate of the present generation, whose winning mounts
are easily reckoned up in the year, to do that which some
of his seniors, and supposed betters, would give half their
fame to be able to accomplish. We say "supposed" betters,
because there is no reason to doubt that Daley is quite as
accomplished a horseman as others whose names are more
familiar to the public ear. But there is a fashion in every-
thing, and while one jockey is overwhelmed with work,
others, from want of Opportunili to display their abilities,
remain in perfect shade. Daley has now emerged, and as
he has always borne the highest character, and is much
liked by his Compeers and all brought into contact with
him, we sincerely congratulate him on his good fortune.

fellow and King of Spades, 10 to 1 agst Gretna, 100 to 8
agst Indian Star, and 100 to 7 each agst Knight of St.
Michael and Adjutant.
A tedious delay occurred at the post through the over-
anxiety of several of the light-weights to break away.
When fairlyin their places, Queen of Trumps, on the lower
ground, came on with a clear load, followed on her right
by Goodfellow, King of Spades, Knight of St. Michael,
Gretna, sad Indian Star to the commencement of the en-
closure, here the old mare was headed by Goodfellow,
Gretna, and Lord Exeter's colt; these finished the race
home, Goodfellow winning with great ease by a length
and a half, a head between the second and third ; Lady
Sophie was fourth, close up, Indian Star fifth, Queen of
Trumps sixth, and King of Spades next ; the last two were
Peggoty and Aurifera.

Betting —5-to 4 agst King Alfred, 3 to 1 agst Orion, 5 to
1 agst Wild Blood, and 100 to 8 agst Cuckoo.
Wild Blood was the first away, but after running a few
strides ho gave way to Orion, who came on with a cleat
lead; the pair were followed on the right by Cuckoo, and
on the lower ground by the favourite. To these succeeded
Adamant, Agnes de Mairsfoldt, and Manton. At the dis-
tance Cuckoo dropped back, leaving the issue with Orion,
King Alfred, and Wild Blood to the enclosure ; here the
latter gave way, and the favourite, falling to reach Mr.
Beadman's colt, was defeated very cleverly by three parts
of a length; a bad third; Agnes de Mansfeldt was fourth,
Laird of Scotland fifth, Cuckoo sixth, and Cecil next.
Adamant was last.
The Oaks Stakes of 50 sow each, h ft, for three year old
fillies, Bstlolb each ; the second to receive 100 out of the

kite, 11 to 1 agst Hippia, 25 to 1 agst Arapeile, 40 to 1
aget Scour do Charite and Romping Girl, and 50 to 1 agst
Bounceaway.
The small field, shortly after having taken their canters,
met the starter, who, after one failure, lowered his flag,
and the race commenced. The first to show in advance
was Hippia, but when fairly in their places she was pulled
back into the extreme roar, and the running was taken up
by Romping Girl, who, with Bumblekite on her right,
came on clear of A.rapeile. Close in their track were seen
the colours of the favourite, Scour de Charite, Bounceaway,
Minster Bell, and Hippia, in which position they came up
the hill ; but, when fairly in the old course, the wretched
pace hitherto made enabled the lot to close up, and thence
they ran in close company, with the exception of the two
leaders, who were still seen clear of their horses as they
descended the hill for Tattenham Corner. When fairly in
the straight Wells brought up Arapeile on the lower
ground, and took his place at the girths of Bumblekite ;
Achievement at the same time drew f Tward on the upper
ground, the four running nearly abreast to the road. Here
Daley, who had been gradually drawing forward, moved
to the front, but, in consequence of Sir Joseph's filly
dropping back at the same moment, he was compelled to
ease Hippie, and come up on the right of Romping Girl.
The latter, as they neared the distance, was headed by
Achievement, who came on slightly in advance of the
pair to the Stand. Here Daley called upon Hippia, who,
answering with unflinching gameness, joined the favourite,
headed her a dozen strides from home, and won very cle-
verly by a length, amid tremendous cheering from all
parts of the Stand and enclosure. Osborne, on Romping
Girl, riding with great determination to the end, was just
able to reach the favourite in the last stride, the pair pass-
ing the past so nicely balanced as to prevent the judge
separating them, and in consequence he gave his fiat in
favour of a dead heat for second honours and money.
Bumblekite finished a bad fourth, with Scour de Charite
