NOTES

FROM
TRAINING DISTRICTS.

The following appeared in onr Third Edition of last
evening :
NEWMARKET.

Yesterday and this morning our exercise grounds were
completely dotted with horses, among them being several
very " distinguished foreigners," and several others aro
arriving almost hourly, the special trains being more
numerous and much longer than usual. This is a good
sign, and we easily believe that the " Second October"
will be a veritable monstre meeting. There cannot be less
than a hundred and sixty strange horses already stabled
here, and accommodation has been secured for a lot more
To-day we had about forty Cesarewitch animals at work
amongst them being Regalia, Brown Bread, Ostregor,
King Charming, Breeze, Rama, Gomera, Verdant, Nu,
Bradamante, Duke of York, War, Peon, Lecturer,
Caithness, Philosopher, Gibraltar, Lothario, Zenobia.
Dulcimer, La Favorite, Aetwa, Lively, Violent,
Hawkswell, Jollity, Chepstow, Proserpine, Medina,
Sleive Cartie, and Slender. Teddy Br atley's- had
not arrived ; and Tom 011iver is not likely to send any-
thing for the Middle Park Plate. Regalia galloped two
miles and a half beautifully; after which Knight set
Caithness to take Chepstow over a couple of miles, and
the pair of them acquitted themselves first-rate. Ostregor
was galloping Actrea, and King Charming working with
II Re Galatuomo. Breeze did very little, having been
beaten in her trial ; but Lothario was bounding along in
first-rate style, led by Tourmalin. Rama and Potomac
both galloped two miles ; it is doubtful whether the former
runs. Potomac's action was very free, and she is in the
bloom of condition. William Goater had also Bismarck,
Pamunkey, Owen Glendower, Lady Sophie, Crown
Prince, and the Ringtail Screamer in nice work. Verdant
galloped uncommonly well, as did Vigorous. Nu was in
long steady exercise. Nimble, Pintail, the Splitvote
colt, Dulcimer, and Bradamante were out early,
and were subsequently joined by Savernake, Adam Bede,
Bt tiler, Countess Amy, the two-year-old, Mayonaise filly,
Pussy, and others. After their usual canters, Brada-
manta did over two miles fast, and the little mare went
splendidly. The ground is in nice order for her. Saver-
nake went about a mile and three-quarters, and he never
moved or looked better. Adam Bede looks big. The
Duke of York did his work very satisfactorily. Neither
Peon nor Paris looked as if they could, stand much severe
preparation ; and the little Slender does the work of the
American party. Their Fitzroy went splendidly, and he
has won a great trial. We have all along advised our
readers to be on him for the Derby. Everybody was
anxious to see Lecturer. Ackworth led him two miles
and a quarter at a rare pace, and the form in-which the
youngster went made folks forget their early aversion to
his diininitive size and lightness of frame. He certainly
looks more like a flyer than a stayer, but he evinced no
lack of endurance this morning. On the contrary, he went
as strong as a little, elephant, and pleased every
one. Philosopher is as slow as Grafton's grey, and Gib-
raltar, though he be in the sere and yellow leaf, looked
uncommonly fresh. Zenobia was eagerly sought after, as
the mysterious horse of the race; but she does not appear
to have done sufficient work, albeit her action is good, and
she went a couple of miles admirably. Dulcimer galloped
two miles, and so did the Squire. Surney exercised freely,
but being in the Proserpina interest, was almost entirely
discarded ; and no one seemed to trouble after Emigrant
or Sealskin, who were taking things rather quietly.
Dubiety is on the small side, but no animal could possibly
be made more fit, and her two mile gallop this morning
was got through superbly. La Favorite rattled over a
similar distance in beautiful form, and is said to have been
specially kept for this. Lively went short, and
Slieve Carne_ very little better ; but Jollity was
as free' as 'direr in her action' and. is quite
ripe. Hawkswell did -his work with Zenobia. 4Vith
regard to Proserpine we have to report very favourably.
She appears a different mare to what she was in the " First
October" week, and goes delightfully, skimming over the
heath like a bird ; 'and, from the manner in which he ac-
complished her two miles this morning, we were bound to
infer that she can stay. Plutus and Sultan did a mile and
a quarter. Master Richard led Vauban quite a mile; and
Mirella pioneered Marksman, Blanche of Middlebie filly,
Miss Ann filly, and the Sunflower filly. Lady lelegt?r,
Ischia, The Captain, Ines, The Duchess, Jack _ltinti7

In connection with the National Association for the
Promotion of Social Science, in the department fo'r economy
and trade, a meeting was held on Friday afterncion, in the
Crown Coed of the Assize Cote Ls, "for the promotion of
the employment of women." The Earl of Shaftesbe- y pre
sided, and the court was crowded, a considerablelportion of
the audience being ladies. The chairman said their object
in meeting was to consider if in any way they could give
employment to women who possessed a certain amount of
education—not for those who became occupied ih mills, or
in ordinary service, but those who, having some education,
. wished to know how they could turn it to account. The
path was not altogether a new one, for some successful
experiments had already been made. Women had been
employed in printing, in bookkeeping, and in telegraph-
offices. He had seen 400 women employed in one de-
partment of telegraph despatch, and they were open to
a still larger supply of those who were capable of
discharging the duties. Ho had been told that women
might be employed in the decoration of dwelling-houses
and apartments. Some decorations by women had been
Shown him, and they were both skilfully and tastefully
executed, and he thought that a very suitable branch.
There was a very great preponderance of females ; he
believed there were from half a million to 600,000 more
women than men. Many of those must consequently be
shut out from the hopes which women usually enter-
tained, therefore it became a duty to consider how all
this talent could be turned to account. This might apply
in some instances to married women, but more particu-
larly to unmarried women, who, if they were employed,
might even earn something towards enabling them to
enter the married state. The object was well worthy of
attention and support, and :she hoped every man and
woman would give attention to the development of a
scheme which, if efficiently carried out, would pro-
mote the welfare and happiness of a large and interesting
class of the community. (Applause.) The Rev. S. A.
Steinthal spoke of the disadvantage at which women were
often placed for want of suitable training. It hadbeen found
that they were quite capable of law copying ; that,they had
done well in photographic establishments ; and that in wood
engraving they had been usefully and profitably employed.
And not only as trained nurses, but in the higher grades of
the profession, there were forms of illness in which women
might be valuable practitioners to their own sex. In this re-
spect, ho wever, we were more backward in Englandthan they
were in some other countries, as Belgium and France. He
thought that even in mills and large manufactuting estab-
lishments, the superintendence of educated ladies might be
most valuable. An experiment of this kind had been tried,
and with beneficial resuit. He moved—" That a society bo
formed in the city of Manchester, similar to the societies in-
stituted in London and Dublin, for promoting employment
of women. The Rev. St. Vincent Beechey, in seconding the
motion, said he took up the subject of the Cambridge exa-
mination of girls, in order to seeu-e for them a fair stan-
dard of competition. The lady teachers of Manchester did
not shrink from it, but rather invited it, and had formed
an association themselves. He wished it was more gene-
rally known how privately and delicately the examina-
tions in the Royal Institution were conducted by Mrs.
Bowers, the wife of the dean. The difficulties in the
way of marriage were constantly increasing. The report
of Mr. Horace Mann showed that there were 1,500,000
women between 20 and 40 years of age unmarried, while
there were also 400,000 beyond the age of 40. The work-
ing classes were improving their position, and thitir sons
were being educated for the profession, so that young men
of the class above them found it more difficult to find em-
ployment which would enable them to marry. The diffi-
culties were increased by the higher price of provisions
and more costly dress. To provide for the occupation of
women was, therefore, becoming every year of greater
importance. In all the arts requ'ring dexterity, neat-
ness, and patient thought, women, he believed, might
be successfully employed. 'irrespective of religious deno-
minations, he thought there was a mission for them in being
employed to seek out the destitute ; in watching at the
bedsides of the sick ; and in administering to the poor in
various ways.—Mr. G. W. Hastings supported the motion.
He said he was not afraid of women doing anything they
were unfitted for. Failure would soon set them right, as
it did men. His opinion was that women should be.allowed
to do whatever they felt themselves fitted to perform, but
they would find it necessary to study and prepare them-
selves for the work, or they would not succeed.—The
Chairman said he must retire, btit before doing so would
remark, that he believed one great obstacle to marriage
was the intense selfishness of the young men. (Laughter.)
According to the luxury of the times, young men would
not marry unless they could ensure au equal amount of
luxury as they could afford when single.—Mr. Thomas
Chambers, Q.C., M.P., spoke of the importance of parents
inducing their daughters to study thoroughly some parti-
cular branch of business, or of art, and moved that a com-
mittee be appointed consisting of Mrs. R. N. Philips, Mrs.
Bird, Mrs. Jevons, Mrs. Herbert Philips, Mr. Steinthall,
Mr. Youle, the Very Rev. the Dean, Mr. T. Bremner, the
Rev. St. Vincent Beechey, Mr. Robert Gladstone, and Mr.
J. Duffield, secretary. The Rev. Canon RiehSon,
in
seconding the resolution, said there was needed more free
trade in labour ; that there were restrictions and prejudices
which ought to be removed, so that all could have free
scope for their exertions. The proceedings then 4osed.

REPRESENTATION OF DERBY.—Mr. Robertson
Gladstone has declined the invitation to be a candidate for

Mr. Gladstone'says: " liarn sensibly alive to the fact that
my own physical strength would be found unequal to a
faithful and efficient performance of the duties imposed on
me, whilst I also am disposed to quettion how far I am, in
other important respects, qualified to fill so distinguished
a position."
MADAME RISTORI has arrived in America.

A PARTIAL ECLIPSE of the sun occurredyesterday,

The yacht proceeded on to Southarevton, where she ar-
rived the eanle afternoon,
