London, 4th August, 1868.
Gontlemoni—At your request wo have much pleasure
in handing you the present report on the cable recom-
mended by us to be laid from lirest to St. Pierre, and from
St. Pierre to tha coast of tLe Unit d.States.

The Filly Sapliug Stakes of 50 s)vs each, 3) ft, for two
year old (lilies, Bst Nib each: the secolid to save her

The deep sea cable adopted is almost exactly similar to
that used in 1865 and 1866. The great merit of this form
is its strength, both absolute and relative to the strains
required while laying the cable. The actual strength of
this hemp and steel cable is 71 tons, while the strain re-
quired for submersion iiee,l not exceed 14 cwt. Even if it
should be necessary to haul back any portion already laid,
the strain need not exceed 13 tens in the deepest water.
The strength in, therefore, amply suffi.:ient to meet all
contingeacies, with a margin quite as great as is allowed in
any ordin .ry engineering cousti.uction or operation. We
need hardly remind von of the experimental proof which
has boon given that this form of cable can, oven if broken in
the deepest water, .bo recovered by dredging, but weitake
the opportunity of expressing our deliberete opinion
that this success was not fortuitous, but that the experi-
ment might be repeated as often as required with a like
result. Tho power of transmitting messages through long
submarine lines is no longer a matter of doubt, and the
laws affecting their transmission are well 'understood. We
.can promise, with certainty that through your enlarged
core you will be able to send twelve words per minute,
and by improved methods of sigrnalling we expect to in-
crease this minimum considerably. The length of your
cable, which will be in deep water, will be no greater than
that of • the existing cables, and it will rest on the same
smooth and safe bottom. The shallow water section will
be a heavy cable, protected ,against rust by a bituminous
compound, as used forihe Persian Gulf cable. The route
avoids all considerable anchorages and all danger from
icebergs, and should any interruption ever occur on this
portion it can be repaired with certainty and rapidity.
In conclusion, the strength of your cable is such as to
render its submersion a safe operation ; the route to be
followed is eminently favourable, and a good commercial
speed is certain to be obtained. Y(11.1 secure the advan-
tige of a direct communication; and the risks you run aro
not greater in any way than those already surmounted.
We are, Gentlemen,
Your obedient Servants,
WILLIAM THOMSON, HENRY C. PORDE, and
C. VARLEY, FLEEMING JENKIN.

Owing to the delays which occurred in previous races,
the start was delayed for some little time. The compe-
titors were saddled in the enclosure with the exception of
the Middloham pair, Mandrake and Tabouret, who were
put through their toilettes near the starting post. Hudson,
on the favourite, was distinguished by wearing a brighter
coloured jacket than Osborne on Mandrake. At the first
attempt the flag was lowered to an excellent start. Ilium
jumped off in front, but when they had fairly settled
down to their strile the running was taken up by
Tabouret, who cut out the work in alvance of Wild
Briar and Ilium at a fairish pace, succeeded by Fervac-
ques and Mandrake, who were clear of The Spy and
Fairwind, the rear being brought up by Lord Palmerston
and Honesty. At a quarter of a mile Wild Briar rushed
past Tabouret and took up the running, and held a clear
lead until reaching the mile past, when the lot took close
order. About half a mile from home The Spy passed Ta-
bouret and Ilium; when in the line for home Wild Briar
gave way, and she was followed immediately after by The
Spy. Fairwind then took a clear lead, and though chal-
lenged at the commencement of the Stand, he came away
and won in a cantor by a length and a half, five lengths
separating second and third, Wild Briar was fourth, Ho-
nesty fifth, Fervacques sixth, Lord Palmerston seventh,
The Spy eighth, Ilium last.
