To show the gigantic increase of speculation on the turf,
it may be interesting to our 'readers to know that one of
the principal al fresco speculators of . the present day, re-
ceived'on Monday and Tuesday alone, having commenced
his book on the first named day for the Cesarewitch, up-
wards of £l,OOO, and the same gentleman who started his
book on the Cambridgeshire during the morning of the
race, which it must be recollected was run before two
o'clock in the day, had nearly £7oo.invested with him on
different horses for that event. This well-known specu-
lator has frequently taken upwards of £3,000 during a
week's racing. Not a bad ready-money business.

DEATH or Mn. G. LouT PHILLIPS, M.P.—We regret
to have to announce the death of the above-named gen-
tleman, which took place on Tuesday evening last, at his
residence, Lawrenny Castle, Pembrokeshire, from the
effects of a fall received whilst hunting last winter, and
from which he never wholly recovered. Mr. Lort Philips
has for many years represented the county of Pembroke
in Parliament, and was also master of the Pembrokeshire
foxhounds, which he kept entirely at his own expense.
He was well known at most, of the Welsh steeple-chase
meetings, where he frequently ran horses, but was not
often successful. His loss will be deeply felt throughout
the Principality.—Sporting Life. _

as far as Hungerford, for some time past. It was exhibited
on Friday at a fishmonger's shop in the Strand,
_and ex-
cited great curiosity.

FLOUNDERS TN THE THAMES.—Writing to Land
and Water, Mr. Thompson, of Old Barge House Wharf,
Blackcriars, says :—" I think it may be interesting to your
readers to hear that the old Thames flounders have just ap-
peared again in this part of the river in large quantities
one of the men employed here by my firm having this
morning (Oct 25.) caught about 16 dozen by merely scoop-
ing for them. Most of the fish are small, say from 3 to 6
inches, but some are found of the full size, 9 or 10 inches.
I hope thismay be considered as an indication that the river
is much purer than it has been, as these have not been seen
until lately for many years past."

season on Wednesday last. Lord Parker, with the hounds
and rather a small but well. mounted field of officers and
yeomen, among whom we noticed Lord Charles Kerr,Capt.
Ewart, Capt. Ward, Messrs. Vale, Alridge, Twinch, Ford,
&c., assembled at the appointed hour at Datchet, and at
once proceeded to the spot for the c3mmencement of the
run, a field at the corner of the road by Ditton Park. The
line gone over by Green with the dogs was in the direction
of Horton, then bearing to the left and across the Bath-
road, near Colebrook, by Riching's Park, and away toWest
Drayton. There was some good fencing and several brooks,
two or three " croppers," and a good deal of trailing, pace
terrific. A good many spectators in carriages and on horse-
back were present to witness the findings,
