Sin,—Yesterday's races, with one or two exceptions,
came off much in the style I expected they would; Flat-
catcher, bandaged up to the kneel, won the Trial Stakes
cleverly; Officious had to succumb (for the first time) to
Mildew for the Gold Vase; my fancy, Ghillie
Callum, broke down within the distance, but notwith-
standing, on three legs, managed to get the second place
to the Concertina colt for the Ascot Derby; Cora
walked over for:the Produce Stakes; the Brother to
Orakelow beat Ginevra and Olympian for the Fifty
Soya. Stakes; Osterley, my first choice for the First
Ascot Triennial, having hit his leg, did not start; Vati-
can, Elthiron, Mounseer, and Repletion, however, passed
Mr. Clarke's eye in the order I placed them; Miserrima,
one of my selected " first flight" for the Second Tri-
ennial, won very easily from Mr. Merryman and Cnreus.
The four pciunds between Wanota and Vampyre just
:turned the scale in favour of the former for the Ascot
Stakes ; and the Countess, receiving weight for sex
(51bs.) from all her competitors, won the Welcome
Stakes cleverly. So much for yesterday's sports; now
fur to-morrow's..

In the following programme for to-morrow and Friday
will be found the probable "fields" for the principal

each struggle, marked with asterisks.

THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.
,June 12, 1850.

Ma. SMITH, or DEANSTON.—We are sorry to have
to announce the sudden death of Mr. James Smith, of Dean-
ston, the eminent agriculturist. He was found dead in bed
on Monday last, at the house of his cousin, Mr. Buchanan,
Catrine, Ayrshire. Perhaps in our day there is no man to
whom agriculture,owes so much. He was acknowledged by
all agriculturists to have been the inventor and chief pro-
moter of the modern system of thorough drainage—that is,
the drainage through the land by pipe drains, instead of over
the land by surfade drains. He had been engaged in the di-
rection of extensive works of land drainage. He bad acted
as one of the Commissioners for inquiring into the means of
improving the health of towns, and had pursued that subject
with so much energy that his health suffered from it. Lat-
terly he had been engaged as one of the superintending in-
spectors of the General Board of Health, by whom his exer-
tions were more specially directed to the application of the
sewage water and refuse of towns to agricultural production.
He was a man noted for his fertility of invention, and a very
high order of ability. .He was personally highly esteemed by
those who served under him, as well as by those who served
with him, by whom he will be greatly lamented.
DEATH OP SIR GEORGE TALBOT, BART.--This
respected baronet died on the 10th inst., at his house in
Grosvener-square. The deceased was second son of Sir
Charles Henry Talbot, the second baronet, and succeeded his
brother in 1812. He married some years since the daughter
of the Rev. Thomas Preston, of Smarston. This family is a
branch of the noble houses of Talbot, and Shrewsbury. The
first Baronet's grandfather was successively Bishop of Oxford,
Salisbury, and .Durham • P his father was a Major-General in
the British army, and his uncle was Lord High Chancel-
lor of England. From the latter Earl Talbot directly
descended.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —The new Tooth-pick Tooth-
brush, thoroughly cleansing between the teeth, when used
up and down, and polishing the surface when used crossways,
the hair warranted never to come out; in four strengths—
viz., No. 1, hard, No. 2, less hard, No. 3, medium, No. 4,
soft. The double anti-pressure nail-brush, which does not
divide the quick from the nails. The triple hair-brush, which
thoroughly searches and cleanses the hair in one-fourth part
of the time of any other method, and acts as both comb and
brush combined. The medium shaving-brush, being a se-
lection of the strongest badgers' hair, so well secured in the
socket as never to come loose. And, though last not least,
the newly invented' Renovator" clothes brush, which makes
an eld coat look like a new one, and a new coat to look new
double the usual time. Invented and made only by Ross and
Sons, 119 and 120, Bishopagate-street, London.
LANDING AN ELEDHANT.—The Trafalgar, East
Indiaman, landed on Monday last, in the East India Docks,
1
a remarkably beautiful specimen of the above animal, which
has been purchased for the Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens,
and (out of compliment to the hero after whose achievement
the ship was named) christened Nelson.
