VALENCIENNES RACES.-JULY 8.

These races were very numerously attended, and were
principally remarkable for the great form shown by Major
Fridolin's stable, who won two races out of three, and ran
second to Ambassadeur in the Prix d'Anzin handicap with
Plutus. Count de Lagrange's La Fortune, who has been
backed for the Goodwood Stakes, came out in the Prix
Principal, and giving Stilton 171 b. over nearly two miles,
was thought to be a certainty, but she was very cleverly
defeated by Stilton, and this form is not likely to be good
enough for Goodwood. The Steeplechase, barring the ac-
cident that happened to Katinka and Lansquenet, would
have produced a very interesting race between them and
the winner Harriet Watts, as they are all well together a
quarter of a mile from home. The ground was in good
going order. Details of the race will be found below :

AQUATICS. —KELLEY AND II utILL.—In reference
to his late matches on the Tyne with Kelley, Hamill
has addressed a letter to the Editor of the Newcastle Daily
Chronicle,
in which he says :—" I have been fairly beaten
over a clear course in a fair and honourable contest. I
have nothing to complain of in :any way, and cheerfully
admit I was beaten by my opponent in a fair and honest
struggle. I would scorn to seek to cover my defeat by
making excuses or hatching apologies. I would like, how-
ever, to have another trial, and I hereby offer any English-
man who will come to America—as great a distance from
his home as I have come from mine—to 'row him on ono
of our smooth rivers after our mode of conducting races. I
and my friends will promise any Englishman who will do
this that we will do our best to secure for him a fair treat-
ment as I have experienced in
elley st Newcaatesstle."—ln answer to
the challenge from Cooper, K that ho has de-
finitely made

to be contested for among y

Between 500 and 600 rifle volunteers from vari-

local riflemen, under the command of Lieutenant
Colonel

thousands of cures annually. It yields three times as mush
easily assimilated nourishment as the best meat, and for
children it is the best substitute for human milk. Dr.
Routh, physician to the Samaritan Hospital for Women and
Children—the best authority on bitch matters —in his admir-
able publication on Food, says—Amongst the vegetable sub-
stances, th tt which comes closest to milk in its composition
is, without doubt, Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, con-
taining both phosphoric acid in abundance and chloride of
potasplum ; it also includes casein, the same principle which
is found in milk in its constituent parts. No wonder, there-
fore, that under its influence many children affected with
atrophy (wasting away of the body), and marked debt i'y
have completely recovered. I have given it with the greatest
advantage in such cases ; and so tar as I may Judge from my
own experience, practice fully carries out what theory,
from a knowledge of its composition, led us to anticipate._
