SPORTING INTEL LIGE SCE.

NOTTINGHAM JULY MEETING.-MURSDAY.

Although the sport witnessed at Nottingham to-day
was of a comparatively dull and uninteresting character,
amends were made by supplying us with a !Jew favourite
in Fidelia for the Goodwood Stakes, who won the Notting-
hamshire Handicap in the commonest of canters. There
was but a slender attendance, and a great falling off in
the aristocratic department, whilst the sport, excepting
the Handicap, was a failure., the paucity of runners being
owing to the hard state of the. ground. The Bradgate
Handicap ended in a walk over for Ligurian, who had
previously won the County Members' Plate, whilst the
Robin Hood Stakes fell through entirely, owing to there
being no horses on the spot for it. Old Pantaloon was
brought out for the Stand Plato, which was carried off by
Harebell, who, although she began badly at first, rapidly
made up her lost ground: The only really noteworthy
feature of the day was the easy victory of Fidelia in the
Nottinghamshire Handicap, which has put her in good
force for the Goodwood Stakes, where she will have to
carry a 71b penalty, which, however, will only raise her
weight to 6st. Considering the style in which she won
t)-day, she is likely to see a much shorter price, even if
she does not carry off the Goodwood Stakes. Details are

Betting-55 to 40 on Parma, 2 to 1 agst Harebell, 5 to
1 agst Pantaloon.
Parma's refusal to join her horses was the cause of some
delay at the post. Pantaloon took a slight lead of Parma,
Harebell, who began badly, following ;a couple of lengths
in the rear to the distance, where Pantaloon was in diffi-
culties, and Harebell joined Parma, whom she headed in

Fairies, 5 to 1 agst Emigration.
Adamant, at a moderate pace, cut out the work with a
strong lead of Emigration, the favourite lying at the
latter's quarters, King of the Fairies bringing up the rear.
This order was maintained till after rounding the turn be-
yond the Stand, when the lot took close order, and on
going down the far side Emigration took a slight lead, no
change occurring in the position of the other three till
after making the Mansfield-road turn, when Fidelia drew
level with Emigration, whom she headed when fairly in
the straight, and Butler letting her have her head, she
came away, and won in the commonest of cantors by half
a dozen lengths. King of the Fairies, who took second
place just beyond the distance, defeated Emigration by
four lengths, and Adamant finished two lengths in rear of
Mr. Payne's mare.
After the race 10 to 1 was accepted freely about the win-
ner for the Goodwood Stakes, and subsequently only 9 to

MARRIED WOMEN'S PROPERTY.

The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the work-
ings of. Mr. Shaw Lefevre's Married Women's Property
Bill have come to the conclusion that a change in the law
of this country, with reference both to the property and earn-
ings of married women, is necessary. It does not appear to
be necessary to make any alteration in the liability of
a husband to maintain his wife in consequence of such a
change iu the law with regard to the property of married
women. Other questions of importance arise in settling
the details of such a measure; whether, for instance,
the poor law liability of the father for the maintenance of
the children should be extended to the mother? whether the
change should be confined to future marriages only, or
should bo applied to existing marriages, where after-
acquired property is concerned? whether the restric-
tions imposed by the Massachusetts cote on alienation of
property by the wife should be adopted? whether the
wife's power to contract, convey, and take by convey-
ance, should bo extended to contracts with, conveyances
to, or from her husband, or be limited to third parties, as
appears to be the case in the American States, whose legis-
lation has been referred to ? and whether at the death of the
wife intestate aay part of her personalty should go to her
next of kin, or the whole to her husband only?
These questions, however, require more time for
discussion than the committee at this period of the
session have been able to devote to them ; they, therefore,
recommend that a select committee be appointed in the next
session of Parliament for further inquiry. In the meantime
the committee have agreed to report the bill with amend-
ment.

[ADTERTISEMEI\T.I-11olloway's Pills and Ointment.—
Unparalleled Popularity.—The wonderful cures effected
by these unequalled remedies in all parts of the world have
won for them their present favour. Both pills and oint-
ment are composed of ingredients which purify at the same
time that they strengthen. No one can deny that health
depends upon pure blood and the natural action of the
animal organs. Both objects are effected without risk or
danger by Holloway's medicaments, which are as innocent
as they are potent. Internal diForders and external
blemishes succumb to ther power. Holloway's peerless
preparations possess the great advantages which in sick-
ness cannot be over-estimated, they are always and every-
where attainable, are at once reaiy for use, and cannot
harm any constitution.
[AD VERTISEMENTenceforth no one will doubt the valuable
properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings
it has already received from Invalids whose position had been
deemed hopeless, we may now add thr l; of his Holiness the Pope,
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of
unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the " Gazette du
Midi," July 25th :—" Rome, July 21,1866. The health of the Holy
Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other reme-
dies, he has confined himself entirely to Du Barry's Revalenta

It has produced a surprisingly beneficial effect on his health, and
his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly." We

THE ROBBERY OF ARMS AT CORK.—Nothing of
importance has happened with reference to the daring
robbery of arms at Mr. Morton's, in Old George-street.
'A rumour gained currency yesterday to the effect that
four of the stolen rifles were concealed somewhere in
Furze's-alley, and a party of constables were immediately
despatched thither, but on a minute search being made,
the affair turned out toile a canard. The temporary excite-
ment produced by the occurrence has completely subsided.

How TO CURE A COLD.--The moment a man is
satisfied that he has taken cold, let him, first, eat nothing ;
second, go to bed in a warm room ; third, drink as much
cold water as he can, or as he wants, or as much herb tea
as he can ; and in three cases out of four he will be well in
thirty-six hours. To neglect a cold for forty-eight hours
after the cough commences is to place himself beyond
cure, until the cold has run its course of about a fortnight.
Warmth and abstinence are certain cures when applied
early. Warmth keeps the pores of the skin open, while
a stinence cuts off the supply ...of material for phlegm,—
