favourite passed Fairlop' without an effort, and cantered
in a winner by ten lengths. Bracknell was placed third ;
Woodpigeon beaten off.

Princess Dagmar, 100 to 8 agst Johnnie.
After a fair start Princess Dagmar took up the running,
followed by Rochester, Ostrich, and The Rogue; Johnnie
last ; but on passing the Stand the first time The Rogue
went to the front. At the brook Arlescott ran into fourth
place, and Johnnie passed Princess Dagmar and Agnes.
After clearing the fence into the straight Arlescott passed
Ostrich and Rochester, Princess Dagmar bringing up the
rear as they passed the Stand the second time. At the
brook Ostrich dropped back, and, Rochester refusing,
Johnnie took third place. Shortly afterwards Arlescott
was in front, but he and the Rogue coming to grief, Lord
lanes Ker's horse was left with a commanding lead—the
Rogue (who was immediately remounted) going on third.
About half a mile from home, Johnnie began to tire, and
and won in a canter by four lengths. The Rogue, dead
running as strong as a lion, passed him,
bPeriatneene,ssstDruani
struggled, home third, but nothing else passed the

two miles, when Light of Other Days passed him, and, the
favourite falling, Mr. England's horse cantered in alone.

The winner was not sold.

Pantaloon and Ballycasey ran side by side for a quarter
of a mile. Pantaloon then took up the running to the Stand
the second time, when the favourite rushed to the front,
and the former falling heavily on the far side of the course,
Ballycasey came in alone. Tonio refused at the brook the
first time round, and was out of the race.

His lowest riding weight is 9st.

We learn from the official list the : there are at the pre-
sent moment 428 horses in actual training at Newmarket.
The weather only stopped them one day this week, and a
great many are reported to be under orders for Lincoln.

HENDON RACES. This popular suburban gathering will
take place on Wednesday and Thursday next, the former
day clashing unfortunately with the second of Lincoln.
The administration of the steeplechases of La Marche
will issue this year private subscription tickets, at the rate
of 50f. for the season. Those tickets admit persons on
foot into the park, to the stands, and the weighing en-
closure. A special tent will be reserved for subscribers.

Stevens was riding her a gallop, and is struck out of all
engagements. She will be put to Tim Whiffler. It will
be a long time before Lord Coventry gets another like her
—the winner of the Liverpool Grand National, Derby,
Doncaster, Birmingham, Warwick, and two Cheltenham
Grand Annual Steeplechases ; and it is rather singular
that George Stevens, who won so often on the old mare,
should have riden her in her very last gallop.
We learn from Chantilly that M. Desvignes's Mon Arnie
broke a small bone in the knee whilst jumping a few days
back. Auvernia, Mon-Meilleur, Pentra, and Voleuse, all
two year olds, have arrived at Major Fridolin's stables at
La Morlaye. The celebrated trotting mare l3ayadere is
engaged in several steeplechases at La Marche. M. Vail-
lant's Ortega has just died at La Morley° from an attack of
colic. The brood mare Recompense, by Weathergage, dam
by Simoom, has been purchased for Belgium. Mr. T.
Carter has sold Volga, by Cossack out of Illustration, to
M. Poiret. M. Carden has purchased Lucette from Vis-
count de Buisseret.
THE FRENCH "CRACKS."—Au able writerin Le Sport
thus winds up his review of racing on the Continent :
"In summing up these various indications—but little posi-
tive, we admit, and further subject to much future revi-
sion -the horses of 1866 already known appear to us divi-
sible into three very distinct classes. Czar and Stilton con-
stitute the first—very near together, if not quite equal.
The second is composed of Puebla, Etoile Filante, Strato-
nice, Favorite, Bayonette, Losbas, and Gettetylne;ln-tlie
order named. La Germaine, Collet, Monte, Due do Bour-
gogne, Voulis, Ultima, Juliette, Castagnette, Cinna, Le
Nil, Fleur des Bois, and Sans Padel, judging merely by
facts, may be placed in the third class. This classification
cannot, however, be considered as definite, at least for all.
Some among them, either from want of condition or other
unfavourable circumstances, may not occupy their real
place. We believe, for instance, that Duc de Bourgogne
will improve his position, if we may judge from his fine
appearance, magnificent action, and pedigree (Monarque
and Trust) equal to any. This is not the place to examine
the performances of the French fillies in England, and it
would be difficult to estimate their significance compared
with those of their contemporaries still in France. This
impossibility contributes largely to prolong doubts as to
the coming season. We especially regret in this respect
the accident to Puebla in the Grand Criterium. Her per-
formance might have served as a guide, and modified the
expectation which will now be probably prolonged until
the first spring meetings."
IMPROVEMENTS ON DONCASTER RACE COURSE.—The
Town Council have decided, on the recommendation of
the Race Committee, to carry out certain alterations at the
enclosure and race course, in order to give the public
greater facilities than heretofore to witness the races ; and
it is intended that the same shall be completed before the
next September meeting. 'The suggestions made by the
Race Committee are not confined to the Enclosure, but a
general and careful inspection of the course has been made,
and the result is that a scheme has been propounded, which,
when accomplished, will materially add to the comfort as
well as to the convenience of all who attend the meeting.
The most important change to be made is at and near the
enclosure itself. Commencing at the St. Leger starting
post the railings on the Grand Stand side will be taken up
and carried into the course (as now contemplated) a dis-
tance of seven yards, gradually diminishing to a point east
of the enclosure. The course will consequently be nar-
rowed for a length of several hundred yards, but the cur-
tailment will leave it amply wide enough ; whilst the space
enclosed will add materially to the area where the public
delight to stand—the space next the road, from whence
the best view of the St. Leger start is obtained, besides in-
creasing the area of the ring very considerably. A portion
of the ground abutting on the enclosure at its eastern ex-
tremity is to be let to the "outside" betting men, who will
then, we understand, be enabled to have their boxes and
other appliances necessary to carry on their "calling." At
the end of the line of booths temporary booths will be
allowed, and for this purpose the ground as far as the In-
take farm gate (in the direction of the Red House), and, if
necessary, beyond it, is set apart for that purpose, and
waggons and carriages will not, as heretofore, be allowed
to take up a position there. Carriages must draw up in
the railings next to and on the other side of the road from
these booths ; and waggons are to find room as best they
may, beyond the line of carriages, near the Red House. In
front of both waggons and carriages will be the inner rail-
ings, where the public may and do congregate in no in-
-Fonsiderable numbers. everal---Minur'arfteratßiir&ttrertiv-
terminQd upon, such as the laying down of pipes in
the drain opposite the Rifle Butt, and covering over
the same ; the removal of the Rifle Butt mautlet and
the taking down of a projection in the passage of the
Grand Stand, which is a serious obstruction to the ingress
and egress of visitors. The public may judge from the im-
provements thus foreshadowed that the Town Council of
Doncaster are as anxious as ever to afford all possible ac-
commodation to the tens of thousands who assemble on
the moor during the September gathering ; and if further
evidence were necessary of the desire that actuates them
to meet the requirements of the public we have it in the
appointment of Mr. Moore, Mr. Geo. Hatfield, Mr. Foster,
Mr. Sorsby, and Mr. Stockil as a sub-committee to ascer-
tain what improvements are adopted at other large meet-
ings, with power to decide upon their applicability to the
Doncaster course. The Town Council, as well as the Race
and Sub-Committees, will no doubt exercise every care in
order that the prestige of the Doncaster Race Meeting shall
not merely be maintained, but increase year by year.—

WINDSOR GRAND MILITARY STEEPLECHASES.--
These celebrated races are fixed to take place on Friday and
Saturday next, and are expected to afford much excitement
at Windsor, from the number and quality of the horses
already entered. At present the ground selected is heavy,
in consequence of the late rains, but a few days' favourable
weather will bring it into fine racing order. His Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales, it is expected, will be pre-
sent to see the Guards' Cup run for on the first day.
A GREEDY PAUPER.--A fellow with a beggarly
spirit, whose appetite for " relief" appears to have
been insatiable, was brought before the West Derby Poor-
law guardians on Wednesday for the investigation of cer-
tain charges of imposition. It was stated that the man,
whose name is James Lyons, had been receiving 4s. a week
from the board for seven weeks, while at the same time ho
had been getting 15s. a week from his wife's mother, 4s. a
week from his brother, a ticket for groceries, and six pints
of soup weekly from the convent at Mount Vernon ; seven
pints of milk and three pints of soup weekly from a Mrs.
Robinson ; a ticket for weekly bread from Father O'Reilly,
cod liver oil (which it was said he threw away), and clean
bed-linen. Proceedings are to be taken against him for
obtaining money from the board under false pretences.

The New York Herald says that while the
Southern Confederacy existed, an alliance with
France was desired and intended ; now that the
Confederacy has gone down, the ex-Confederates
are no longer soldiers in arms to whom the French
can lend some assistance in their campaigns against
American troops ; but they are good military ma-
terial, ready to assist the French against the United
States as effectively as the French assisted them
some time before. In hostility toward the United
States it is the same on both sides, only the Con-
federacy has passed out of view. That disguise for
all the operations that France could assist against
America is no longer at hand, and they must find
a new one. Immigration settlement is a good and
plausible one, and France immediately proceeds to
organise a colony between the United States and
the Mexican empire, as a sort of buffer to break the
blows that may come by and by ; and that colony
is neither more nor less in material and spirit than
the reorganisation of the Confederate force that
went to pieces at the close of the war. It is a de-
iberately cogitated threat. All the arrangements
for the organisatien of this new and hostile Power
on American borders are made directly with the
Emperor of France, not with the puppet Maximilian,
who is treated all through by every one, from Na-

I /50Ieou to -G-win, as a mere foUrn, a name, i:sh-adovi.
IThe territory chosen is greater in extent, as well as
richer agriculturally and minerally, than the part of
Mexico that would be left if this were taken away.
France proposes to Mexico to take this little strip
of land in payment for the Mexican debt, and the
French authority in Mexico assents. Gwin makes
grand promises to the Emperor of France—that
countless thousands of Confederates will rally at his
call ; that they will make the finest colony in the
world; that it will be at once a safeguard to the
empire, a source of uneasiness to the United States
and of wealth to France, and that, in short, it will
be the same as if France had recognised the Con-
federacy, only the United States will not venture
to take hold of it. Gwin, for all these sanguine
views, is appointed Director-General and given ex-
traordinary powers. Just as all is going on swim-
mingly, notice of it is brought to the United States
Government by Mr. Romero, Mexican Minister,
aud, as the circumstances imperatively require it,
Mr. Seward writes to Drouyn de Lhuys on the sub-
ject. He writes a mild little note, however, merely
suggesting that if all this is true, then France is not
acting just as she promised to do, and declaring
that the President " confidently and sincerely ex-
pects, in some form, an assurance that all the pre-
tences of Dr. Gwin and his associates are destitute
of any sanction from the Emperor of France." De
Lhuys replies that as for Gwin it is not the busi-
ness of the French Government to enlighten
Mr. Seward; but as to France, she remembers
that the United States has " pledged its word"
to remain strictly neutral as to Mexico, and
that France does not intend to interfere in
the questions that divide " the Union," but to be
"scrupulously neutral." This valuable assurance
was made four months after Lee's surrender.
France, however, evidently caught at the fact that
Gwin had been named ; for Gwin, recognised as an
enemy of the United States, and so denounced, was
thrown over ; but the plan was adhered to, and was
put into the hands of men as notoriously enemies
of the United States as the ex-Senator. M. F.
Maury was raised into Gwin's place, made an
honorary Councillor of State and Imperial Com-
missioner of Emigration, given powers "second only
to the Emperor," and is now engaged in the most
earnest attempt to run his immense machine and
build up a nation to make the United
.States dread-
fully afraid. He has even his accredited agents at
work in Southern cities, and draws on the imperial
treasury for their pay.

BRITISH WEALTH AND SPgEloCwUiLnAgTlpONic.t.--ureThoef
New York Times paints a
the advantage to America of the trade with Great
Britain. The prodigious accumulation of wealth
during the last ten years in England under the
favourable working of an almost untrammelled trade
with the whole world, and the busy industry of the
people, is producing its natural effect. The savings of
the British people are poured into every country. They
go to construct railways in India, to build factories
in Germany, erect cotton machines in Turkey,
found villages
in Australia, and layraitloroatdrsidigne
Canada ; they serve to send iron steamers for Italy
or Austria over the Mediterranean, and
the Isthmus of Panama ; theyei

and Italy, and Turkey, and India, to develope their
resources. For the last two yea
pouring a golden tide into the
profits of "British free trade" are
and arms and wages, of their armies
paying
btaking h e
American national expenses fory
the food and cloth-
ing,their " promises to pay," or by enabling continental
people to take them. Other earnings under the
favourable system. of Great Britain ar now build-
ing or running American railways, or aiding to de-
velope the immense resources of the West and South.
The profits of England fertilise the world. But the
natural effect of such prosperityboun
dless spirit
of speculation. The New York Times' adds that the
universal testimony of trustworthy informants is
that the importing class in New York were never
in better condition to meet their obligations than
now. A vast amount of cotton is still on hand in
American ports, ready to be exported, and the pro-
spects for the next crop are fair.

The will of Sir Richard M. Bromley, K.C.8., of
Foot's Cray, Kent, was proved in the London court
on the 24th ult., the executors appointed being Lady
Bromley, his relict ; Charles Ford, Esq., of Russell-
square ; and Henry Toms, Esq., of Somerset-house.
The personalty was sworn under £4,000. Sir Richard
was formerly Accountant-General of the Navy, and
latterly a commissioner of Greenwich Hospital. His
will bears date Oct. 24, 1865, and he died Nov. 30,
aged 52. Sir Richard has left the whole of his pro-
perty, real and personal, to his wife for her life, and
at her decease to such of his children as may then be
living.

The will of Capt. Francis Fowke, R.E., of No. 1,
The Residence, Exhibition-road, South Kensington,
was administered to in the London Court, on the
26th ult., by his relict, Louisa Charlotte Fowke, the
universal legatee for life named therein, there being
no executor appointed. The will is very short, dated
Oct. 15, 1864, and signed " Francis Fowke, Captain
R.E." The testator has left to his wife for her life

all his property, except that already under marriage
settlement, and upon her decease the same is to be
divided equally between his two daughters, Louisa

Matilda Rede Fowke and Mabel Redo Fowke. The
personalty was sworn under £9,000. The testator

died at the Museum Dec. 4, at the age of 42.

The Remedy for Tennessee.

The Chicago Tribune strongly urges negro suf-
sraga_iia... s...tka...Galy -fling- to save the
State. Th rt of the Union State Central Com-
mittee, forwarded to the President, shows that the
United States Government exists only by the sup-
port of the military power in the United States.
The Union voters (white men) are less than one-
third of the voters in the State. The law excluding
rebels from the franchise is easily evaded, and is
wholly disregarded in the rebel strongholds.
Withdraw the troops and the rebels will quickly
seize the Government of the State, and begin the
work of persecution until the last Union white
citizen is murdered or driven from Tennessee. The
ex-rebels retain all their bitterness and hostility to-
ward the loyal Tennesseeans, denouncing them as
" traitors to the Confederacy." Even now in the
presence of the Federal troops the loyal men are
exposed to persecution politically, socially, and
financially ; their business is crippled or ruined, and
themselves subjected to insolence and intimidation.
They are told to their teeth that they will be exter-
minated when the soldiers are withdrawn, and the
State is back in the Union. Now, what is the remedy
for this deplorable state of things? It cannot be
found in withdrawing the troops and admitting
(
Tennessee into Congress. The next election would
return a delegation of the worst rebels in the State.
Is it not as plain as the nose on a man's face that
what the white Unionists most need is a strong re-
inforcement of votes? Suppose their lean ranks
were
putfill e a
d up
new by
fifty
thousand recruits, would not
that face on affairs at once ? The poli-
tical
control of the State could not in such a case
be wrested from them. The rebels might all vote,
and still the Union men would be in the majority.
Now, that very reinforcement to their ranks can be
furnished from disfranchised Unionists living in
their midst. There are 283,000 staunch coloured
Unionists in Tennessee, of whom fully 50,000 are
male adult citizens, and certainly as much entitled
to vote as the rebels. This addition of 50,000
Union voters would be mainly in Middle and
Western Tennessee, where the white Union vote is
comparatively weak and helpless. Nashville and
Memphis, which now contain a large majority of
rebel voters, would then go for the Union ticket by
handsome majorities. Why do not the white
Unionists of those cities perceive the fact ? They
are living in dread of rebel rule and persecution,
and yet they have only to call the faithful and re-
liable coloured men to their aid to be in a position
where they can defy the malignant secessionists.

RTECultitus The
t
JOHNSON'S
it
SUiPsPOa
I NewFßYEsomrlcENTHerald thinks
1 that the greatest hostility against the reconstruction
policy of the President comes from extreme sections
of the country, or from persons and presses repre-
senting extreme views. The Republican Press of
New England are mostly
of this type, but they are
moderate in the expression
of their views when com-
pared with the Radical
presses in the .North-west—
Chicago, for example. The newspaper presses in
Richmond,
Virginia, have returned to the spiteful,
ill-natured, and
ill-mannered method of discussing
public questions which prevailed before
the war.
Although they do not directly
the character of • their support is but little better
than open hostility. It is a pleasure to know, in
the meantime, that the solid strength of the coun-
try—the great line of Middle States, stretching
'almost continuously from the Atlantic to the Pacific
—are firm in their support of the President's policy.
The intelligence from the Pacific coast is particu-
larly cheering, not only from the tone of the Press,
1 but from the outspoken words of theßepresentatives
in Congress from the Pacific States. The incoming
new. State of Colorado will, no doubt—unless the
1 pernicious counsel of the Chicago clique prevail—
lend efficient aid in behalf of the President's recon-
struction policy. The indications all through the
heart of the country, and elsewhere over its broad
surface, excepting
where the Radicals and intem-
perate extrenns
• ts have sway, are in favour of p
re.,
sident Johnson.
THE GREAT IRISH WILL CASE.----DUIILIN, Fri-

Keating charged the jury to-day. They retired at five
o'clock, and returned in ten minutes with a verdict, finding
the will invalid, owing to incapacity and undue influence.
