Ni[R. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
leet-i.treet, has introduced an entirely new descrip-
ti .n of ARTIFICIAL TEE r El, fixed without springs, wires,
or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth
as not to be distinguished fro if the originals by the closest
observer; they will never change colour or decay, and will
be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require tie extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and wilt support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

HARROW STEEPLECHASES AND FLAT RACES.

Fortunately the opening day of this meeting wasfavoured
with fine weather as soon as the sport commenced, although
the morning was anything but cheering ; in fact, rain fell
heavily about. noon. The course was precisely the same as
heretofore. The trains from Euston square station conveyed
a multitude of visitors, amongst whom were many familiar
faces, including some of the sporting members of the al is-
tocra.cy. The sport throughout was very interesting, but
the results were decidedly in favour of the bookmakers.

After three failures the lot got away, Queen Bee taking
up the running immediately afterwards, followed by Rol-
kar, Benanoar, and British Tar; Peignoir and My Lady
bringing up the rear. As they came through the gap,
British Tar ran into second place, and closing on Queen
Bee, he overhauled her opposite the stand, and won easily
by two lengths ; the same distance separated the second and
third ; Benanoar was a good fourth, Llangollen fifth, Chirp
sixth; Peignoir and My Lady walked in last.

Arlescott, next to whom came the Bolingbroke gelding,
Princess Dagmar, and Snaggs, Polly Hopkins refusing
being out of the race. Pantaloon increased his lead as
they passed the stand, the others following in the above
order to the brook, where Princess Dagmar ran into se-
cond place, and shortly afterwards the Bolingbroke geld-
ing passed Arlescott. Three fences from home Pantaloon,
who had a strong lead, came down, and the Bolingbroke
gelding-took up the running, and although challenged re-
solutely at the distance by Princess Dagmar, he cantered
in an easy winner by four lengths. Arlescott walked in
third, and Snaggs, who fell in the middle of the meadow,
cantered in next a long way in the rear. Pantaloon was

fence. ,

bare, 3 to 1 agst Geraldine.

Geraldine led 'past the stand,' but gave way to Knighton
Belle soon afterward, Threadbare going on third. They
ran thus for a mile, when Geraldine came to grief, and was
not persevered with, the favourite passing the stand the
second time a long way in advance of Threadbare, Sacra-
mento toiling hopelessly in the rear. Knighton Belle held
the lead till reaching the third fence from home, on land-
ing over which he rolled over, and Threadbare, whose
superior speed had begun to tell, cantered home an easy
winner.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £lOO.

Some hundreds of persons assembled at Putney yesterday
to witness the sculling race between Daniel Russell, of
Rotherhithe, and Bartholomew Murphy, of Shadwell, who
had engaged to row from Putney to Mortlake for £5O a side.
The same two men closed the year with one of the finest
races ever seen—Russell not passing his man until they
got to Wilcox's, at Barnes, and Murphy's party not think-
ing their man had trained sufficiently, gave him another
trial, and well were those rewarded who went to see it, for
a more manly and plucky race was never seen. Murphy
trained at Mr. Wilcox's, the White Hart, Barnes ; Russell
at Harry Kelley's, the Bells, Putney—and both were very
fit. The race was accompanied by two steamers full of pas-
sengers. Mr. Wilcox was umpire for Murphy, Mr. Evans
for Russell, and Geo. Hammerton officiated as referee.
Murphy won the toss, and chose the Middlesex side, a
strong wind blowing, which added to the land water, and
made the labour very severe. At the moment of starting
Murphy obtained a slight lead, but Russell soon drew level,
and a truly magnificent race followed to the Crabtree, in
the course of which they had changed positions about half
a dozen times. Here Murphy seemed to row stronger and
with more judgment, and nearly drew clear ; but at the
soap works another desperate t.truggle took place, Russell
getting the best of it, and leading by nearly half a length
under Hammersmith-bridge. The water was now more
rough than before, and Murphy, catching two crabs, gave
