THE RACE.
Charming Kate, somewhat against the inclination
of her jockey, took the lead, followed by Barricade,
Emerald, All-round-my-Hat, and Fair Charlotte,
Merope and the Princess next, and the ruck, thanks
to the badness of the pace, closely laid up. At the
Craven starting-post, Charming Kate retired, and the
running was taken up by Emerald, Barricade, All-
round-my-Hat, and Fair Charlotte, lying in her wake.
They ran thus to the turn, where the Princess moved
into the third place, in which she continued to the
road, and then, on Emeralds retirement, she went in
front, and increasing her lead at the distance, won in
a canter by two lengths. Merope, then, on the whip
hand, made an effort about a dozen strides from home,
and got up within a length, but crossed in the rear
of the Princess a few yards from the chair, and finished
next the lower rails ; she defeated Barricade about a
length. Julia, Coal Black Rose, and Pergularia, ran
in together a couple of lengths from the first three ;
nothing was within four or five lengths of the second
ruck. The favourite was beaten all the way. The
pace throughout was very slow. Julia ran under
protest from Colonel Anson, Mr. Gregory, and Mr.
Osbaldeston, on the ground that she was not of the
Proper age.
The Members' Plate of 50 sous., for three years old,
6st 71b ; four, Bst 91b ; five, Bst 131 b ; six and aged,
9st 21b; mares and geldings allowed 31b. The

Colonel Peel, which fully substantiates our statement
that it will be forthwith carried into a court of law.

LITERARY INSTITUTE, WESTAIINSTEL—Last night
Mr. Day, the inventor of the Archimedean screw, as
applied to ventilation, gave a lecture here upon this im-
portant subject, illustrated by models and other apparatus
for the purpose of showing, not only how large build-
ings or small apartments could be effectively ventilated,
but the reasons that failure had been attendant upon the
efforts of some of the most scientific men who had ap-
plied their energies to such purpose. The theatre was
well attended, and Mr. Day was listened to throughout
by an audience who exhibited great interest in all the
important details most ably explained by the lecturer.
Perhaps the most useful invention by Mr. Day, and
dwelt upon by him, is a wind-guard, which may be ap-
plied to the largest and the smallest chimney, and by reason
of its construction, let the wind blow from whatever
quarter it may, a vacuum is produced by the slightest
gust or draft, and thus a chimney "smoking" is placed
beyond possibility. Mr. Day is evidently a man of no
mean attainments, and those who are concerned in build-
ing would profit much by taking advantage of the expe-
rience most liberally extended by this lecturer.
KIRKIIT.—Mr. John oeroft, a respectable stone-
mason of this village, whose family came with the
Danes when they invaded England, and have been
settled at Kirkby ever since, found in his garden a small
copper coin of Constantine, in a remarkably fine state
of preservation, a Saxon silver penny, coined at Bristol,
and a brass coin of what is called " the dark money,"
which was coined in convents. Mr. Oscroft, being a
tenant of the Duke of Portland, communicated the fact
of his finding the above, and that he considered his
Grace entitled to them. The Saxon coin is considered
valuable on account of its scarcity.—Nottingham Review.
