BM—Yesterday's races, with one or two exceptions,
came off much in the style I expected they would; Flat-
catcher, bandaged up to the knees, 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
Drakelow 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; Miserrinia,
one of my selected " first flight" for the Second Tri-
ennial, won very easily from Mr. Merryman and Coleus.
The four pounds between Wanota and Vampyre just•
turned the scale in favour of the former for the Ascot
Stakes ; and the Countess, receiving weight for sex
(slbs.) • from all her competitors, won the Welcome
Stakes cleverly. So much for yesterday's sports; now
for to-morrow's.

MR. SMITH, OF 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,
Catlin', Ayrshire. Perhaps in our day there is no man to
whom agriculture owes so much. He was acknowledged by
medium,
ohnoehf cuor t
all agriculturists to have been the inventor and chief pro-
moter of the modern system of thorough drainage—that is,
the drainage through the laud by pipe drains, instead of over
the' land by surface drains. He had been engaged in the di-
rection of extensive works of land drainage.
. He had 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.
DEATB or SIR GRORGR TALBOT,

Grosvenor-square. The deceased was second son of
