HOMELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
14A, Providence-row, Finsbury, E.O.
Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, have boon given in this Institution to the
destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the
nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches.
At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and
Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor
from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that
they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c.,
receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand-
ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each
night numbers of young women, chilaren, and orphans
are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, andhave
to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To
meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda-
tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the
work a sum of at least £l,OOO more will be required.
Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it
is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur-
pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor tamilies
in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and
accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give
shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really
starving ? The smallest donation will be most welcome,
and, night and morning, the prayers of the destitute will
be offered in your behalf.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are earnestly requested, and will be
gratefully received by the Rey. D. GILBERT, D.D., No, 22,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

WARWICK RACES-WEDNESDAY.

Rain fell without intermission from about twelve o'clock
last night until noon to-day, and the consequence was that
the course, which had been heavy going on the opening
day, was in many places, especially in the low-lying parts,
the turn for home, and the three-quarters of a mile post,
one sheet of water at those points. The ground was so
soft that the horses sank several inches at each stride, while
the jockeys presented a very bespattered appearance. At
the turn for home, where the water was the deepest, the
horses ran quite up to their knees. Notwithstanding this
poor prospect a largo number of persons were again pre-
sent, and the rain clearing up before the sports commenced
a very agreeable afternoon was spent, though the ground
was very "sludgy." The racing was extremely good, and
ample details will be found in the appended returns :

digestion in a cluster till reaching the turn, where Con-
federate dropped away, and Steamboat joined Vigilant, the

ment of the enclosure, won cleverly by a neck ; Vigilant

and was left at the post. When fairly settled in their
places Norma showed slightly in advance of 1, eluti, but
the latter took up the running after going a hundred yards,
Norma lying second, Deerfoot, Brick, and Valiant follow-
ing in the order named. As they approached the half-
mile post Merry Hart Would not face the water, and
stopped, Norma at the. same time giving way to Brick,who
took second place, and was followed by Deerfoot. The
latter, when fairly in the straight, gradually overhauled
Brick, and Voluti, being beaten at the distance, the finish
became a match between Lord Stamford's horse and Deer-
foot, but the latter staying the longest won easily by a
length. Two lengths separated second and third ; Merry
Hart cantered in, some distance in the rear, fourth ; Norma
fifth, and Valiant last.

worth for a quarter of a mile, when the last mentioned
took up the running, and although he repeatedly shied at
the water he held a long lead as they passed the stand the
first time. On ascending the hill the pace, which had be-
fore been very slow, was improved, and Elland passed
Monitress, who was soon hopelessly beaten off. Ackworth
maintained a considerable lead until reaching the water at
the turn into the straight, where Elland closed with him,
and appeared to be coming away, but, stumbling, ho could
not recover himself until Ackworthhad gained a longlead,
which ho kept to the finish, passing the post eight lengths
in front of the favourite. Monitress walked in.

filly threw her jockey, but he soon regained the saddle al-
most saturated to the skin. After several breaksaway a
moderato start was effected, Puebla whipping round the
moment the flag fell, and being left at the post. The first
to show in advance was the Plover, who held a slight lead
of Trapeze and Skirmish, clear of whom were Deerfoot,
Denmark, Acolyte, and Forester, in close company, the
rear being brought up by Brick, who got badly off. Little
variation occurred for a quarter of a mile, when the Plover
took a clear lead, followed by Trapeze and Deerfoot, Skir-
mish leading the others, being slightly in rear of the last-
mentioned. Rounding the turn into the straight, Trapeze
gave way, and the three placed singled themselves out, and
finished a close and exciting race home, but Skirmish,
from shear staying ability, won by a head from Plover,
who defeated Deerfoot by a neck for second place ; Fores-
ter was fourth, Acolyte fifth, Brick sixth, the last two
being the Splitvote colt and Denmark.
