CHESTER MAY MEETING.

It has been determined to hold this meeting on the
4th of May and the three following days. Already
have 93 subscribers been obtained for the Cup, for
which the entries are likely to equal in numerical
strength those of preceding years. into the programme
for the last day a new race has been imported. It 14
called the Stewar.ls' Cup, value 3001, The horses will
carry weight for age, the distance will be one mile
seven furlongs, and the event promises not only to be
most successful, but it will materially strengthen the
attractions of the Friday. Mr. Topham, the enterprising
clerk of the course, has, too, announced that "no
home will be handicapped at Chester that has run in
soy selling race not in conformity with the Newmarket
Rule."

SCULLERS' RACE.

A. scullers' race took place yesterday for 201., between
William Huxley and William Lane. Both men are
amateur rowers, of the class denominated " tradesmen,"
and are exceedingly expert scullers. Lane has for many
years taken part in contests upon the Thames, both as a
sculler and as an oarsman, and gained great credit for his
pluck and skill. Of his opponent but little is known in
comparison, and yesterday's race proved to Lane's cost
what has been demonstrated in cases of many better men
than himself—that youth will be served. The hero of
bygone days rowed very pluckily, but his antagonist was
too fresh for him. The impression of the cognoscente
was that way before they started, as the odds were 2 to
1 on Huxley. They rowed on the ebb tide from Barnes
railway bridge to Putney ; and, late as the match was
in the season, there were a great many boats out, and a
tolerable sprinkling of spectators on the shore. Huxley
won the choice of station, and preliminaries having been
adjusted respecting the choice of umpires and referees,
the men went to work. The start was even, but imme-
diately afterwards Huxley began to draw away, and
gradually increased the lead, Lane rowed with much
game, but never stood a chance of overhauling his op-
ponent, who won as he liked.

Aug. 17, 1851. Gentlemen,—For a considerable time I have
suffered severely from a violent pain in my left side, extreme
flatulency, accompanied by an intolerable sensation of heart-
burn, and other disagreeable symptoms of dy.spepsiaf. Various
remedies, alleged infallible, were tried in vain, and or a long
time I was never twenty-four hours without violent pain ;
indeed I was unfit for the performance of my daily duties.
I was induced to try your food. In less than an hour I found
relief, and my recovery was very rapid. The duties which
previously had been an intolerable burden became a delight-
ful exercise, and I have since accomplished more labour with
less fatigue than I ever expected to be able to perform. I have
never hada rot am of my complaint—l remain, itc., D .Tnom As."
