from the fact that among the intending competitors
is a representative of the Cape of Good Hope Corps.
It is needless to add that the success of the Wi-
mbledon meeting is always largely influenced by the
state of the weather. It is, therefore, to be hoped
that the severity of the present week may act as
the forerunner of brighter skies in the week to
come.

the rights of conscience and liberty of opinion
should be carefully maintained and preserved."
(Hear, hear.)

Mr. GAssforr, in seconding the resolution, said
that when Mr. Morley had showed it to him he at
once arrived at the conclusion that there was not a
word in it which could fairly be objected to. Some
persons had remarked that, as it was intended the
schools should be self-supporting, the fund being
raised seemed to be an unnecessarily large one.
Those persons had not reflected on the fact that
numbers of the clerks who were employed in the
city lived in the suburbs of the metropolis. He hoped
to see the day when these schools would be spread
in all directions round the metropolis. Though, as a
rule, city men paid their clerks fair salaries, they
could-not pay them such salaries as would enable
them, under the present middle-class school system,
to educate their children as porters might educate
theirs. The London Dock Company, of which he
was a director, out of 450 clerks whom it employed,
had only 12 who were paid as much as £3OO a year;
and yet when he applied to that company for a
donation of £5OO towards middle •class schools, the
reply he got was that the company could not give
such a sum in charity. He found that, taking the
2,180 clerks employed in 10 city establishments only
162 received £3OO a year or over. The rest were
paid salaries under £3OO a year. This showed the
necessity for schools in which clerks and other per-
sons of the middle class could educate their children
at a more reasonable cost than it was at present
possible for them to do. (Hear, hear.)
The resolution was then carried unanimously.
Mr. FRESIIFIELD, in proposing the next resolu-
tion, said he concurred with Mr. Gassiott that clerks
in the city were paid liberally, but firms could not
pay a man more than his place was worth merely
because he happened to have more children than
another man who filled a similar post. These
schools were needed for persons of the middle class
who had two or three children to educate. The
hon. gentleman moved a resolution directing that
the governors should be summoned at an early date,
for the purpose of electing a council and inaugurat-
ing the proceedings of the corporation.
Mr. CAZENOVE, in seconding the resolution,
stated his opinion that the religious element would
be found a difficulty, but he had every confidence
that by skilful management it would be surmounted.
The C HAMM AN, in putting the resolution, observed
that during the 28 years he had presided over the
management of the City of London School no diffi-
culty had arisen on religious questions.
The resolution was then agreed to, as were also
votes of thanks to the Rev. W. Rogers and Mr.
Alderman Hale, after which the meeting separated.

A special general meeting of this company was
held on Monday at Glasgow—Lieut.-Col. Salkeld
in the chair.

On the motion of the Chairman the directors were
authorised to raise £540,000 under the powers of
four Acts, 1865, by the creation and issue of ordi-
nary stock of the company to that amount ; the pro-
prietors of ordinary stock being entitled to an allot-
ment of £l3 of the new stock for every £lOO of
ordinary stock held by them, on paying for it at the
rate of £ll6 per cent. on or before the Ist August,
from which date the dividend would commence ; or
on or before the 29th August at the same rate, with
the addition of interest at the rate of 71 per cent.
per annum from the Ist August to the day of pay-
ment. The directors were also authorised to exer-
cise the borrowing powers in respect of the new capi-
tal when one-half the amount thereof was paid up.

NEWMARKET 'JULY MEETING.—WEnxEsray.

The card looked well to-day, though, beyond the Beau-
fort and the Exeter Stakes, there was really not much to
be said for either quality or interest. Admiral Rous's
usual fine judgment was not exhibited in his match with
Lord Wilton, as Isis beat Dot very cleverly. The General
landed the odds on him in the Private Handicap, easily
shaking off the Duchess, his only opponent, and La
Mechante just managed to get home in the Handicap
Plate, Dalesman running her to a short head. The Beau-
fort Stakes had two hot favourites. Love Apple and Seal-
skin, but they were upset by a supposed non-stayer, Anti-
Macassar, who won in a canter. The running of Lady
Hester in the Exeter Stakes and her easy defeat of Dragon
still further proves what a good horse Hermit must be, as
the Frenchman scattered a very fair field at Windsor.
Cecrops, with all the weight, defeated the field of mode-
derate two and three-yr-olds brought against him in the
£lOO Handicap, and Lord Ronald had only Tho Beadle to
beat in the Private Handicap. The afternoon, though
showery, was an agreeable one.
