October 5, 1867.
SlR,—Some months back I had an attack of Bronchitis,
which left at times a tickling in the Throat, with other un-
plea'ant feelings. I was advised to try the BALSAM or
ANISEED; I did so, and have found very great relief ; it is
most comforting in allaying the irritation, and giving
strength to the voice.
You are at liberty to mike use of this as you think proper,
and I earnestly hope that others may benefit by it as I have
done. With many thanks from your obedient servant.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

(From the Newmarket Correspondent of the .I?acing Times.)
The Cambridgeshire is over, and all the prophets and tip-
sters are floored t o a man, and although I only got third with
one of the four 1 selected to beat the field, yet 1 think I have
a right to be proud of the remarks I made concerning all
the horses in the race ; and when all those who consider
themselves most wise and excellent judges of horse flesh
eulogised Honesty sip to the skies I told your readers he
was a regular duffer, and his running iu both races proved
every word I wrote about him to be quite correct, as ho
hung on to Laneret like a regular cur, and Covey could
not get him to go straight; and when wo take into con-
sideration the amount of money such a brute was backed
for, one may well exclaim " Can such things be, and over-
come us like a summer's cloud without our special won-
der." The public aro supposed to follow the money and
the advice given is the sporting papers, and as
Honesty was selected by nearly' all the leading
journals, one cannot wonder at .him being such a favourite.
Laneret ran a good game horse ; but, as I told your
readers last week, he had just 71b too much weight. We
seldom see a horse carry off the Cambridgeshire with
over 7st. Odd Trick won iu 1857 with 7st 41b, and no horse
has ever won this race since that time with over 7st. It
is really ridiculous to read the remarks in some of the sport-
ing papers about some of the horses that ran in the Cam-
bridgeshire. One writer tells us the money was right
about Honesty this time; that is as much as to say the
money was not on when he ran in the Cesarowitch. Un-
fortunately fcr his backers there was too much on, and it
stopped there. Never in the memory of the oldest race-
goer has there been a worse horse than Honesty at 5 to 1
for the two great autumn handicaps. Lozenge was fit to run
for a man's life, and, as I stated last week, went and looked as
well as any horse at Newmarket. There is great credit due to
Joseph Hayhoe, jun., for in his horse so fit to the
post. Considering he only•• about a fortnight, this
augurs well for Master Joseph ; and it is devoutly to be
wished that there are " bright prospects looming in the
future" for this steady, unassuming young man. There is
no use disguising the fact that there was a lot of money
obtained out of Friponnier, and he was kept in the market
as long as there was any ono foolish enough to back him.
What a pity that such a noble animal should have been
made the medium of putting money into the pockets of
bookmakers. It was quite certain from the tone of the
market for a week before the race that ho was not going
to run, as instead of 20 to 1 against, it was nearer 6 to 4
on him from his running with Xi, who, I am informed,
could give Wolsey 2st. Mr. Pryor will not have such
another opportunity of winning a groat race and
a large stake of money for souse time. It would
not be interesting to your readers for me to go
through the different races that were run during the past
week, as other sporting writers have worn the subject quite
threadbare. The backers of horses had a bad time of it,
as the last two days witnessed the defeat of nearly oval y fa-
vourite. All those who backed Butler's mount would win
their money, as the horses ho rode and won on often started
at a long price. This popular light weight is one of Fortune's
particular favourites, as the Marquis of Hastings has
agreed to give him the large sum of £5OO a year for the
first call of his services, not a bad stipend for a boy that
has not yet seen his sixteenth year. Every one was
pleased to see Wells in the cherry and black cap again,
and the mistake ho made at Doncaster was quite forgotten
and forgiven after his splendid riding in the match on Xi
against the Earl, as it was evident he stole a march
on Cannon going down the hill, and kept his horse
going at such a great pace that the Earl could
never got quite up. It is quite true that this fine horse-
man must retire from riding in public, as nature must not be
curbed any longer. Ho has had to waste hard for the last
four years to get do en to Bst 101 b. Few mon have ever
left the turf with a more unsullied name than John, or as
he has been familiarly called, Tiney Wells; and I am
quite sure, from what he told me three years ago, he would
never have tried to keep riding so long but for Sir Joseph,
as his heart and soul lay in the interest of the cherry and
black cap. It must be highly gratifying to him that Sir
Joseph gave bins au opportunity of winning his last two
moants, and he can now retire with all his full-blown
honours on his head ; and he can say, what no other
jockey in England ever could, that he has ridden the
winuer of every great race in England, except the Oaks, and
ho was very near doing that once on Avalanche, as he was
only beaten on the post by a head. He once expressed
a wish to me that he might ride the winner of the Oaks
before he left off riding ; but he must be satisfied, as he
has had his share of Fortune's favours, and has now the
glorious privilege of being independent. I shall now offer
a few remarks on the last great Handicap of the year—the
Liverpool Cup—as I consider that will be metal more at-
tractive to your readers. Mr. Topham has made another
of his flattering handicaps, that almost everything in the
race at first sight would seem to have a chance. The
Autumn Cup has now been established eleven years, and
the three-year-olds Lave been successful seven times. It
may be worthy of remark that this race has never been
won by a horse carrying over 7st. 101 b., and that was the
weight Special License bad on when he won in 1857 ; nor
do I thiuk any horse in the race at the present time will
have any chance until I come to Beeswing, and she
has quite enough to carry. From her running in the
Doncaster Cup, she is not such a clipper as her ad-
mirers would make out ; and if there is a fair good
three year old in, she will get beat. Actaaa, is the next best
in to my fancy, and as she has 91b loss to carry than she
had in the Cambridgeshire, she ought to run forward. Man-
drake is a fair good horse and is not over-weighted, but the
Squire's mare will meet hina on 91bs better terms than
when he beat her in the Ebor Handicap, when every one
said Prior threw the race away. Honesty will no doubt
be backed again, and should the stable fancy him he is sure
to be a great favourite—the course will suit him better
than the Cambridge-hill ; but 1 shall not stand him unless
I see a. great alteration in his style of going.
Caithness is well in, and if I could see him as fit
to run as he was at Shrewsbury last year when
he beat Moulsey, I should stand nothing else,
Knight Errant is a pretty good horse, but has quite
enough weight to carry. Fervacques is well in, and should
he be brought fit to the post he would be backed, and
must run well. There are a lot of bad horses, with light
weights on their backs in the race, that have no earthly
chance, and it will bo seen I have most fancy for Beeswing,
Caithness, Knight Errant, and Mandrake ; and as the latter
ran a game race with Julius and the Palmer last week at a
difference of 111 b, it would be like putting Julius in here
with 7st 71b, and he would be a great favourite with that
weight and nearly win, so that an investment on Man-
drake at his present price will most likely turn out
a profitable one. There aro three meetings for next
week Chelmsford, Worcester, and Lincoln. Eight
horses are left in the Chelmsford Handicap. Cecrops heads
the last with 9st 51b, and Saccharometer next with Bst 121 b,
including 51b extra. It would bo a good race with
these two were they to meet, as Mr. Fleming told
me last week that Cecrops could give Van Amburgh 211bs
over any course in England, therefore the Lion Tamer
can have no chance with old Sac. The Nursery Handi-
cap will be won by Coup d'E lat. The Betting Plate looks
a good thing for Excitement. In the County Members'
Handicap Delium seems to be the best of a bad lot. The
Innkeepers' Plate will most likely be won by Hatty.
Worcester has extended the meeting to three days, and
there is sure to be some good sport. The Autumn Handi-
cap has a lot of bad horses engaged; Goojerat, Orne, and
Wild Moor, seem the boat to stand on. Epworth looks
best in the Nursery Plate, as he got badly off in
his race at Newmarket. For the Hurdle Race 1
fancy Thalassius, who has been schooled by Chris
Green, and can jump well. For the Stand Plate on
Wednesday I fancy Goojerat. For the Flying Stakes
Mrs. Stratton looks best in, as she beat a better field of
horses here last week than she will have to meet at Wor-
cester. The Annual Steeplechase I know nothing about,
only Old Reporter is well, and doing plenty of work.
The Lincoln Autumn Meeting is sure to he well sup-
ported ; there aro six races each day. The Autumn Handi-
cap is worth winning, and will most likely produce a
large field. Duke of York, Caithness, and Silenus seem
to have the best chance. Leases, after his running last
week, looks like winning the Johnstone Plate. Porter's
Knot, or Lictor, will win the Burton Stakes. Speculum
looks best to stand on for the Blankney Stakes. The
Hainton Plato has the Derby winner engaged, but I think
he has had quite enough of it this year, and King Charm-
ing, or Ravioli ought to win. The Avoland Nursery
Plate is sure to produce a large field. Were I sure of a run
with Epworth I should stand him, and nothing else. The
Grand Autumn Steeplechase has eighteen horses engaged,
and as the King of Hearts is scratched for Worcester,
perhaps ho may go to Lincoln, having been doing very
well of late he may win.

FOOTBALL.

WANDERERS v. CHARTERHOUSE:SCHOOL.

The above clubs played their first match this season on
Under Green, on Saturday last. The result was a hard-
won victory for the Wanderers by one goal to none, rather
an unexpected triumph over such formidable opponents.
The choice of goals fell to the Wanderers, who kicked off
from the cloister, with a strong wind blowing down to aid
them. At 2.45 the two teams were all ready, and the signal
for commencing the combat was given by the Wander-
ing captain, who set the ball rolling from the centre of
the ground. No time was lost, and the Wanderers
drove their opponents back to their goll line with
the first rush. This triumph, however, was but momen-
tary, and the game was kept up with varied success
by the two teams for more than half an hour, during
which time both goals had narrowly escaped untimely
falls, C. E. B. Nepean having, as usual, made some very
good attempts for the School. The Carthusians' goal,
which has for such a length of time been preserved from
the dangers to which it has been exposed, was at length
reduced after a run down by C. W. Alcock, who also gave
the final kick. In spite of the desperate efforts made by
the Carthusians, they could not recover their lost ground,
and at the expiration of time the Wanderers were pro-
claimed the victors by one goal to none. For the Wan-
derers E. E. Bowen, R. M. Thornton, and the brothers
Norman did good service, while C. E. B. Nepean played in
