the corner of Holland-street, 253, Blackfriars-road, and 32, John-
street, the late proprietor of which, Mr. Frederick F. Shaw, has
engaged to continue in the active management of the concern, and
to make his remuneration nominal till after the shareholders have
received 8 per cent. dividend. From a most reasonable estimate it
is calculated that 15 per cent. will be the lowest dividend ever paid.
Applications for the remaining shares may be made to' the Secre-
tary, at the Offices, 253, Blacktrlars-road.

SPORTING NOTES.

THE. DERBY- MEETING.
The most important incident which marked the racing
at Nottingham yesterday was the triumph of Mr. G.
Mather's c ,lours. When St. Clair, admirably ridden by
Fordham, was landed just past the post, the, injunction
to "shout lads " was not disregarded, for " George"
gave the fielders a good turn. Fordham seems to retain
his old luck, for he was twice successful, having ridden
Apathy and St. Clair. The hon Ours of tke day were,
however, shared with him by young Grimmer—
a ♦ery promising light weight. Early Bird com-
pounded after going a mile, and was evidently out
of his distance. The fondness of his friends was undimi-
nished to the close, for at starting he was backed at 7
to 4. Altogether the "fielders" did not hove a bad time
of it, for only two out of the five races were won by
favourites.

Turfites will quit Nottingham to-night, in order to
assist at the meeting at Derby to-morrow. Six events
are appointed for decision, in addition to two Hurdle
Races and a Steeplechase. The elements of excitement
are not therefore likely to be wanting.
Greenwich Fair, who gave another proof of her won-
drous turn of speed yesterday will doubtless carry off
the Scarsdale Stakes. Indeed I should not be surprised
were she to go to the post unopposed.
With a start I shall " stand " Huntington for the
Harrington Plate. I know little of the steeplechasers,
but taking recent ranning as a guide I should be inclined
to select Tcbernaya to win " The Midland." Weather-
cook and Nicholas may " fight their battle o'er again"
in the Hurdle Race.
