HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF
OxEsT, BROMPTON.—A quarterly court of the gover-
norsof this institution was held on Thursday at the hos-
pital; Mr. T. P. Beckwith in the chair. Amongst those
present-were the Hon. and Rev. F. Byng, Colonel
Evelyn, Messrs. Needham, C. Duff Gordon, Crew, E. Rus-
sell, Canning, J. Wilson, C. Turner, &C. The secretary
read the report, which stated that the financial position of
the charity was less favourable by nearly £5OO than
it was at the beginning of the quarter. This was mainly
due to the groat falling-off in the receipts from donations
and legacies. It was, however, hoped that this important
branch of support would again recover its lost ground.
The annual subscriptions, which had somewhat in-
creased, were only equal to about half the yearly
expenditure. A new and powerful steam boiler had
been for some time wanted, and the boiler and boiler-
house were now in a very forward state. Other works
of a costly nature had also become absolutely necessary.
The legacies, which had been unusually few, ware—the
late Mr. J. Day,R.N., £lOO ;the late Dr. G. Aldred, £lOO ;
and the late Mr. G. S. Leverton, £3OO. The number of in-
patieuts admitted since the 28th May had been 229, of whom
207 had been discharged greatly benefited and 28 had died ;
the number of out-patients during the same period had been
1,560. The chairman said that one of the reasons why the
receipts had fallen off was that people, had an idea that the
institution was a very wealthy one. This was a great
mistake; the expenses were very heavy, and they required
a great deal of assistance. It was to be hoped, however,
that the receipts would become larger and the commer-
cial world gradually recover from the effects of the
panic. The report was adopted, and the proceeding ter-
minated.

WOLVERHAMPTON RAUS.—WO are officially informei
that the course for these races, on Tuesday and Wednes-
day next, is in fair going order, facilities for watering it
having been taken advantage of for more than a week
past, especially on the Two Year Old Course. St. S within,
however, in plentifully bestowing his favours during the
whole of Tuesdgy night, has removed the smallest scruple
on the score of hard ground.
YORK RACES.—The race committee, with a view to
counteract the effects of the long-continued drought, have
had mains laid on to linavesmire from the waterworks,
and three water carts are occupied from from 6 p.m to 6
a.m. every night, irrigating the running ground.
GOODWOOD, 1869.—The Earl of Glasgow and Sir Chas.
Lngard, Bart., are the stewards elect for this meeting.
