3 yrs, Est 121 b (Cradoc k) 1
Lord Wilton's c by Romulus—Attack, 4 yrs, Est 21b
(Butler) 2
Sir C. Legard's Lord Palmerston, 3 yrs, 6st 21b (Jeffery) 3
The following also ran :—Fervacques, Tormentor,
Duchess, Airdrie, Vixen gelding, Thorndyde, and Auri-
fera.

Betting-9 to 4 agst Lord Palmerston, 4to 1 agst The
Attack colt," S to 1 agst Clairon, 130 to 15 agst the Vixen
gelding, 10 to 1 each agst Duchess and Tormentor.
Directly the flag wag lowered, which it was at the first
attempt, Thorndyko rushed to the front, and at a good
pace cut out the work with a strong lead of the Attack
c:_dt and Vixen gelding side by side, Airdrie and Duchess
succeeding them, the rear being brought up by Aurifera
and Fervacques. In this order they went up the hill,
Thoradyke maintaining a lead of at least half a dozen
lengths into the furzes, tho Attack colt taking•second placa
in the furz..s, Clairon joining the Vixen gelding, Airdrie
running level with the pair, but rather wide on the right.
On emerging from the furzes, Clairon for a few strides
showed in advance of the Vixen gelding and Airdrie, but
shortly after was passed by both of them, the only other
noteworthy change that occurred being the advance-
ment of Aurifera from the rear to a position at the quar-
ters of the Vixen gelding, who was succeeded by Tormen-
tor, Fervacques still acting as whipper-in. Descending
the hill towards the bend the lot closed upon Thorn-
dyke, who was in difficulties directly Tottenham Corner
was reached, and the Attack colt at once took a slight lead
of the Vixen gelding, who, however, retired when fairly
in the line for home, leaving the race to be fought out by
Lord Wilton's colt, Clairon, and Lord Palmerston ; the
former obtained a slight advantage till just outside the dis-
tance, when Clairon took up the running, and, stalling off
the Attack colt at the Stand, won cleverly by three-quar-
ters of a length ; Lord Palmerston was a bad third, just
clear of Airdrie and Tormentor, who were head and head,
fourth and fifth; Aurifera sixth, Thorndyke seventh,
Duchess eighth, the last two being Fervacques and the
Vixen gelding.

to 1 agst the Hermione colt, 100 to 15 agst Lo Saphir, 10
to 1 agst Sea Breeze.

Sister to Rosicrucian jumped off in front, but in a few
strides gave way to Le Saphir, who came on with a lead
of about half a length of Sister to Hermit, in close attend-
ance upon whom was Sister to Rosicrucian and Blairbuie,
till just outside the distance, when Le Saphir dropped
away, beaten, and the lead was taken by Sister to Her-
mit, who gradually increased her advantage, and won
in a canter by two lengths; twice that distance separated
Sister to Rosicrucian from the Vergiss-moin-Nicht filly ;
Sea Breeze was fourth, Hermione colt and Blairbuie next,
together, the last of all being Le Saphir.

4 to 1 agst Pompeii, 7 to 1 agst Valentia, 8 to 1 agst Pau-
line and Cyclamen, 12 to 1 agst Black Boy.
Pompeii jumped off in front, but after going a hundred
yards dropped right away in the rear, and the command
was taken by Black Buy, who had for his attendants Pau-
line, the Turftiloe filly, and the Lady Lotty filly, Valen-
tia being just in rear of 'the three, who were almost
abreast. Within the distance Black Boy was joined by
Valentia, the pair singling themselves out and finishing
a fine race home, which ended in a dead heat ; a length
in the rear of the pair were Cyclamen and the Lady
Lotty filly and Pauline, who were so close together
that the judge could not separate them, and in conse-
quence did not place a third; Lelia was sixth, and Pom-
peii last.
Deciding Heat—Betting-11 to Bon Black Boy. The
favourite held a slight advantage for two hundred yards,
when the non-favourite took the lead and maintained
it to the commencement of the Stand enclosure, whero
Fordham challenged, and won by three quarters of a
length.
The winner was bought in for 115 guineas.

when Gomera took second place, and, Pakrita being
beaten ou descending:the hill towards Tattenhant Corner,

VENTILATION.

(From the Anglo-Awrican Timm)

Those only who have tried know the difficulty of
arousing people to the necessity of ventilating their
buildings and adopting every available means in
their power of purifying the atmosphere they
breathe. The eager answer of a child to the ques-
tion of a schoolmaster is that almost uniformly
giVen in countries well north or south of the tropics
—" What would be the effect if I open this win-
dow ?" " Why, you would let in the cold." To
keep out the cold has exercised the ingenuity of all
classes, but to let in fresh air is an idea which has
suggested itself to but few, though it is difficult to
exaggerate its importance. The reason is clear
enough—cold is at once felt disagreeably, while the
pernicious influences of a bad atmosphere are in-
visible in their immediate results, and when the
effect is produced the cause is unseen. Headaches,
general debility, sluggishness of mind, torpor, arc
quickly- realised, but few attempt to trace the cause
unless that cause be carried to an extreme, such as
in the Black Hole in Calcutta, the horrors of the
Middle Passage in running a cargo of negroes, or
when suffocation follows the battened down hatches
of a vessel in a storm. The New York Nation,
in an article entitled " Invisible Poison," discusses
a series of lectures on ventilation, delivered in the
Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, by Lewis IV.
Leeds. After showing how erroneous is the general
belief that carbonic acid is the chief impurity in
vitiated air, a gas which can be drank not only with
impunity in many mineral waters, but with benefit,
and which, therefore, people argue, cannot produce
lasting injury, even when taken into the lungs, the
reviewer says :—" If carbonic acid is not then the
only or chief cause of the impurity of confined air
—air breathed over and over again in crowded
rooms—what other source of poison have we? In
the c Archives Generales de Medecine,' for Novem-
ber, 1867, there is an article by M. Lemaire on
' Miasmata of the Healthy Human Body.' In the
atmosphere of soldiers' barracks he found a host of
living animalcules, such as bacteria, vibriones,
ovoid monades, diaphanous bodies, and various other
infusoria, which in the open air could hardly be de-
tected. Whence came this life, and by what was it
sustained? As minute particles of steel may be
found in the air where the knife-grinder is at
work, or as coal-dust mingles with the breath
of the miner, or the ocean spray is carried off
by the wind, and, even for miles inland, not
only the salts of the sea, but all the minute infusoria
and spores of plants found in sea-water occur, so
the loose or decomposing matter along the course of
the respiratory passage is breathed out and floated
off into the air. Not only the cells which line the
air-tubes are constantly being thrown off, like those
of the skin, together with the remains of food lodged
in the cavities of teeth in all stages of decomposi-
tion ; but wherever there is ulceration or serious
disease of the throat or lungs, pus cells, the debris
of morbid tissues, and even the elastic fibres of these
organs are breathed out. If we would know what
are the constituents, in a great measure, of the at-
mosphere of a crowded, badly-ventilated room, we
need only reflect that what each one does or might
expectorate differs in no respect whatever from that
which is actually with every breath forced out in
the form of vapour. Filter such an atmosphere, and
you make, a pill which nu one would willingly take.
It is in the midst of this floating organic matter
that the vibriones, bacteria, and so on are developed
with astonishing rapidity, and all combined are taken
into the lungs and exert a poisonous influence, either
by coming merely in contact with the moist tissues of
these organs, or by passing directly through their
thin walls and working as ferment, or in various other
way s,on the blood. It is notonly through the lungs that
this vitiated atmosphere acts, but through the skin,
and the pspular fear of contagion, where there is
disease of the external parts, as of the eyes,
is with-
out doubt founded in truth. B tsides the two
classes of poisons to which we have specially al-
luded, as existing in most crowded rooms there are
organic emanations given out in the sweat and from
various parts of the body, some of which are quite
characteristic, and a host of substances used as per-
fumes, hair dyes, and cosmetics. That some of the
latter are injurious to the health from their volatile
nature is proved by their effect on the poor girls
who are engaged in their manufacture. They lose
their own c bloom of youth' whilst preparing it for
others, and suffer with all the symptoms of lead
poisoning. We might add greatly to this list of
noxious elements which are poured out constantly
into the air of all crowded rooms to be breathed
over and over again, when there is not a proper
attention 'to ventilation ; but we certainly have said
enough to satisfy all that carbonic acid is not the
only impurity to be taken into consideration under
such circumstances. It is astonishing with what
pertinacity the pernicious emanations of healthy
or diseased human bodies cling to the furniture,
walls, or bedding of rooms ; and certain conta-
gions will sometimes linger about a place for
months. A ward iu the New York City Hcspital,
where there had been hospital gangrene, is a
striking instance. Though all the bedding and
furniture were removed, the disease attacked other
patients who were placed in it ; and as whitewash-
ing and thorough cleaning of the room were not
found to be effectual in destroying the seeds of the
disease, nor even the scraping off of the plastering,
the entire walls were torn down and renewed before
the taint was got rid of. Dr. B. W. Richardson, in
his Clinical Essays,' gives an equally interesting
instance of the kind. In the thatched cottage of a
labourer in an English village one of the four
children was struck down with scarlet fever. The
other children were immediately removed to
a neighbouring village, but after the lapse
of some weeks one of them was allowed to
return home. Within twenty-four hours it was
seized with the disorder and died. The cottage was
now cleaned throughout and lime-washed, and
every article of clothing washed or burned,lnd four
months elapsed before either of the remaining chil-
dren was brought home. Then one child was al-
lowed to return, but only to share in a few days
the fate of the others. The doctor believes that in
this instance the thatch was the lurking-place of the
poison." While acknowledging the difficulty of
securing a better atmosphere, Mr. Leeds thinks that
most people might greatly improve the ventilation
of their houses. He shows that it is not such a
complicated scientific subject that only those who
have paid special attention to it can understand it.
The first lecture is devoted chiefly to considering
the evils of foul air ; and in the second and third the
effect of heat on the movements of the air, and the
various ways of constantly introducing it into our
houses are discussed. All is presented in a clear,
easy manner, and many of the points are illustrated
by striking but simple experiments. The book con-
tains several coloured diagrams, showing the move-
ment of the air in rooms heated and ventilated by
different methods. The Van Hecke system lately
introduced into Europe is working highly satis-
factory results in large and crowded buildings.
It has been approved by the English, French,
Belgian, and Dutch Governments, and is car-
ried into practice by a great number of pub-
lic institutions. There are no buildings which
more require an efficient plan* of ventilation than
the club houses of London, which are generally sup-
posed to be models of luxury and comfort. Con-
sidering that for every day in the year, except dur-
ing the short period for cleaning or repairs, that
they are more or less fall from nine in the morn-
ing till long after midnight with crowds who eat,
drink, smoke, dress, read, write, and do everything
but sleep at least in bed there, it will readily be
believed that the best system of ventilation alone
could give a chance of keeping the atmosphere pure.
Generally. however, the members are more indif-
ferent to the quality of the air they breathe than to
the quality of anything else. A tough joint, an
ill-cooked entree, cold potatoes, or bad attendance,.
will call forth loud complaints, and a headache iii
the morning after spending some hours in a vitiatedn
atmosphere will be attributed to the salmon, the
which they may rely on was °the impure
cigar, the wine, to anything but the real cause,itis
