TRANSPARENT CANDLES.—If you only
want something pretty to look at, without minding
a little smoke and smell, and a little bending and running
over if the room should happen to be rather warmer than
usual, buy any o f the very transparent low quality Para-
fine Candles now sold freely everywhere at one shilling
per pound ; but if, along with beauty of appearance, you
require steady brilliancy of light, and freedom from risk of
these little occasional mishaps, tell your dealer to supply
you with

"PRICE'S GOLD MEDAL PALMITINE CANDLES,'
which, though charged at a higher price per pound, aro
really cheaper when the difference of quality is taken into
account. They are believed to be the very best substitute
yet produced for real Wax and Spermaceti, now at such
an extravagant price, and are being introduced in place of
them in the West-cud Clubs and elsewhere where ex-
cellence of quality is studied as well as economy.

TO ADMIRERS OF LIGHT CARRIAGES.
HART,
7.9, NEW BOND-STREET,

has introduced one of the lightest four-whookd Carriages
in London. The style is the T cart or Stanhope phaeton,
on an improved principle.
The peculiarity of this carriage is, it has sufficient room
for four persons, if required, and is 3 cwt. leis than the
usual ones ; it has no perch, and can lock round in any
narrow lane. The wheels are hickory, with steel tyres,
springs only one inch wide, and has Lone's patent steel-
coated iron axles, which have received so many testimo-
nials.

S. H. wishes to remind the public it has been proved
many valuable horses am ruined by being overloaded with
a heavy carriage. It is a well-known fact that the intro-
duction of light carriages is only now in its infancy. One
is on view, and several to be seen building to order.
An inspection is solicited.

NT R. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,

ti n of A ItT I FICIA L fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so pertecily reAemb e 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 req•aire tie extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastlea-

of the real merits of Moose, as Mandrake could have won
the length of a street had they gone away in the first in-
stance, but as they only galloped about half a mile, I must
set down that running as nothing. Master Willie and
Skirmish have too much weight. and The Peer is jus
what I wrote about him before Liverpool, a slow,lbad
horse, and yet he was backed by some of the best judges
on the turf. It is most extraordinary that if a horse is
tried at Newmarket and only beats a donkey he is sure to
be backed by the public. Dec de Bourgogne and Mus-
kt•teer are likely to run well. I have no fancy for any of the
others until I come to the King of the Fairies ; and as tho
boy that rode him in the Column Handicap made a mis-
take, and thought he had to round again, and as I think he
would have won, I must stand him here ; and as I am told
the Marquis of Queensberry will ride him, we shall have
an honest run, and I think ho will win bar accident.
Slander ought to win the Maiden Plate. The Guy Cup will
most likely be won by Dawdle, as she was giving ',lbs. to
Parma at Liverpool and won easy; and Lord Wilton's
mare would look well in here with Gst 51b, and about win.
For the Warwick Handicap Steeplechase, I have most fancy
for the King of Hearts. The Handicap Plate, I have most
fancy for Problem. The Second-class Nursery has Prince
Regent and Kettleholder in again, but previous running
will be the best criterion which will be best to stand.
The Great Midland Counties Handicap and the Third Nu-
rsery have too many horses entered for me to give an opinion.
Previous running may upset all calculation. For the
Leamington Grand Annual Steeplechase I have most fancy
for Sir William, who is a certain runner. Next to him I
fancy Balder, or Chimneysweep, whichever Lord Coviintry
runs. For the Winding-up Handicap I have most fancy for
Grand Duke, and with this handicap we may bid farewell
to the racing of 1867.

Turf Speculators.

Never was there a more appropriate period than the
present for the legion of " backers" throughout the coun-
try to take counsel together relative to their position in
respect to owners of horses and the bookmakers. Napo-
leon's Russian campaign in 1813 is the nearest parallel to
the most disastrous results of the past season on the turf,
during which a whole hecatomb of victims, both of high
and low degree, have succumbed to the prevailing epi-
demic of excessive speculation. Conspicuous for his in-
domitable pluck and straightforward conduct in the man-
agement of a large stud, the youthful Marquis of Hastings
affords the most striking example, and the inevitable con-
sequences of the " gambling" propensity which rages with
fearful violence throughout the patrons of horse-racing,
with scarcely a single exception. Twenty years ago the
turf was an arena where noblemen and gentlemen inva-
riably ran their horses to win, and, at the same time, were
mostly content with moderate investments. What a con-
trast to the present day when every system of fraud is prac-
tised by the majority of owners on the unfortunate public,
who are by no means badly represented in the parable of
the wolf and the lamb. In the highest circles, the proprie-
tors of large studs nowadays insist upon the right to do as
they like with their own, and a notable instance of the
adoption of this principle (?) was when a noble duke, in
the exercise of his discretion a short time back, struck out
the first favourite for a race at Newmarket at the last
minute because forsooth his grace could not obtain the odds
ho anticipated. This system pervades all classes, and is car-
ried out day by day to a fearfnl extent. During the last
two months every taker of odds must admit how hopeless
was his chance of winning—indeed the utter impossibility of
his doing so except by bats at the post—when he reflects
how many scores of horses have been made first favourites
in that short period, and were backed for " heaps"
of money in town, but did not start. The Copeland
Nursery Handicap, which was decided on Wednesday, is
a case in point, and it will answer the purpose of this
article to allude to two of the horses to illustrate the argu-
ment. I refer to Kettleholder and Chivalry, the former of
whom was backed hero for all the money that could be
obtained down to 2 to 1, and left off a long way first
favourite. The latter was announced in the Sporting Life
of that day, and also on Wright's tissue, to have paid
forfeit—a piece of chicanery on the part of some one or
other, as several parties who evidently had in-
structions were running about to all the lists
and obtaining long odds, in consequence of this
gross mis-statement on behalf of those interested. It
is almost superfluous to stato, but I do so for the edifi-
cation of outsiders who may be induced casually to read
this, that the horse who was reported to have paid forfeit
won, and Kettleholder, according to custom in such cases,
was kept in the stable, or, at any rate, did not go to the
starting post. This is not an isolated case, as similar in-
tances could be quoted which occur almost every day in
the week throughout the racing season. A great number
of animals which perform throughout the year are owned
by large bookmakers, and the consideration which is
likely to be shown towards the unfortunate "backers " of
any of their horses by this class is more conveniently ima-
gined than described. Worse than this, there are a con-
siderable number whose only object in keeping race horses
is "plunder "—some of whom may also plead the excuse
of necessity, but i❑ this category must be classed many
who have the means but net the inclination to go
straight.—Racing Tinzes.

King of Spades, 4 yrs, was sold to Mr. G. Angell for
160 guineas, after winning the Groby Stakes on Thursday
at Shrew,,buly.

Due de Bourgogne, who came in first for the Welter Han-
dicap at Shrewsbury on Friday, was afterwards disquali-
fied for going on the wrong side of a post,,and the race
was awarded to Auchinleck, who came in second.
Mr. Hodgman sold Glonarm for a " tenner" on Wednes-
day, after she had run last in a Handicap Sweepstakes the
same day.

Epigram, who won the Shorts. Handicap on Tuesday at
Shrewsbury, was bought in for 101 guineas. She won a
sweepstakes of 30 sovs each, with 25 added, the next day,
and was again bought in for 106 guineas. On Friday she
won another sweepstakes of exactly the same value, and
went back to her owner, Captain Macholl, for 161 guineas.
THE SHOBDON °BP.—The following is the official de-
cision :—" Hereford,-1867—Shobdon Cup. An objection
having been lodged some time after the race meeting
against the horse Nidderdale, which came in first for this
race, on the ground that his nominator was in the forfeit
list, the acting stewards have given their opinion that the
objection is valid, and have disqualified Nidderdale under
rule 31, and awarded the cup and stakes to Arabia, who
came in second."

THE HAVELOCK TURF AGENCY.-- Mr. J. Wood, the well-
known owner of_Beauty, Ste., who guaranteed the payment
of all bets made by this agency, and who has suffered
heavy losses through the defalcation and disappearance
of his manager, is paying all claims due from it with cha-
racteristic liberality. The amount (about £3,000) is much
heavier than it would otherwise have Wen had it come to
Mr. Wood's knowledge earlier; -bat unfortunately, that
gentleman was away at Liverpool at the time, and none
of the creditors took the trouble to communicate with him
respecting the dishonoured cheques which were given to
them by Mr. Madder in settlement of their claims over the
Newmarket Houghton meeting, and for which purpose a
large sum had been furnishedlto him on the settling day by
Mr. Wood.

KINGSBURY STEEPLECHASES.—We beg to call at-
tention to the closing of stakes for the Metropolitan
Grand Steeplechases, which will be held at Kingsbury,
on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 10 and 11, under
the management of Mr. W. P. Warner, well known in con-
nection with several other meetings in the Metropolitan
district. As a recommendation to owners, it will be suffi-
cient to state that Mr. W. Topham has bean engaged as
clerk of the course and handicapper, and the services of
Mr. R. Johnson, of York, have been secured as judge and
clerk of the scales. The Maiden Steeplechase of 30 sovs,
the Uxendol Handicap of 5 sovs each, with 40 added,
the Kingsbury Cup, value 100 sovs, and a Selling- Handi-
cap Steeplechase of 2 cove each, with 25 added, run ou the
first day; and the Metropolitan Handicap of 10 cove each,
with 100 added, the Hyde Plate of 40 sovs, and the Hun-

ONE MILE WALKING HANDICAP.—This was for two fine
cups given by Mr. J. Reeves, of Islington, for which there
were 13 entries. They were fairly handicapped from F.
Maidment, of Enfield, at scratch, down to Heath, of the
City, with 150 yards' start. The competitors were divided
into two heats, the first of which was won by young Gilbert,
of Hammersmith, a lad, 100 yards start, in good style, bsat-
ing five others. In the second heat E. Burro ws, Tower-hill,
40 yards start, beat three °them Gilbert, 100, and Burrows,
40, came together for the final heat. A find race ensued, but
Burrows was never ably to close up the gap with the leading
lad, and Gilbert won by 20 yards. The cups were after-
wards presented in the evening to the winners at Mr. Tom-
linson's, "Hand-in-Hand," Frog-lane, Islington.
