LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.--AN
JILAII EFFECT UAL REM.EDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the heal, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-

pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which pi °yokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,

HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
Fleet-street, has introduced an entirely new de-
scription of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without
springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble
the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
nals by the closest observer ; they will never hange
colour or decay, and will be found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth 'hat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

MANCHESTER RACES.
WEDNESDAY.

The old course at Castle Irwe]l having been taken out
of the hands of the )lanchester race committee, owing to
the termination of the lease. a " fresh field " has been
secured, which offers far greater advantages than those
afforded by the old locality. The new course is situated
within an easy distance of the town, and the running
ground has. been admirably laid out and l)oked after.
There is a straight run of at least 1,000 yards, and generally
the construction of the course has been carefully consi-
dered, the turns being easy. The new grand stand, which
has been constructed at an enormous cost, will be when
complete quite a model building, replete with every conve-
nience, both with regard to the accommodation afforded to
the public and the arrangements necessary for efficiently
carrying out the business arrangements of the meet-
ing. The first day's racing over the new, terrain was
only moderately successful, the fields being small in most
instances, and the sport of but average quality. Of the
six subscribers for the Clumber Stakes three ran, and of
these the favourite, Gordian Knot, finished last, Waffles
easily beating First Fruits. For Copeland Stakes odds were
hid on The Hind, who very easily disposed of the half-
dozen opposed to her. Another favourite scored another
equally easy win for the De Trafford Cup, and backers fol-
lowed up their luck in the easy victory of Chivalry for the
Westmorland Handicap. Gordian Knot, despite his "de-
feat earlier in the day, was again the most fancied for the
Pendleton Stakes, but fortune again favoured the fielders,
and the race was won by Verity. The layers had, how-
ever, by far the worst of it; and the last race of the day re-
sulted in the victory of another warm favourite in Patri-
cian, on whom odds were laid, and who very easily beat
the pair opposed to him.

The Clumber Stakes of 5 sous each, with 50 Lidded; two
year olds 6st 71b, three Bst 121 b; four lOst, five and up-
wards lOst 51b

Gordian Knot made play, followed by the First Fruits
colt, Waffles attending 11Pon the latter until coming into
the straight, when First Fruits colt, on the outside, joined
the leader,' an example, which was followed when fairly
in the line for home by •toir.affies,
who took the command
at the distance, and having his opponents in difficulties at
the commencement of the stand enclosure, won easily by
,three-quarters of a length. Three lengths separated the
second and third. The winner was not sold.
The Copeland Stakes of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 100 added
(if three run), for two year olds; colts Bst 10Ib, fillies

Betting-7 to 4on The Hind, and 100 to 15 bar one.
The Hind, in the centre of the course, made play, with a
slight advantage of Lady Croome, the others following in
company to the distance, 'where the two leaders drew
away, and finished a close and exciting race home ; but
the who had always slightly the best of the
str favourite,uggle,won cleverly by half a length, Musk being four
lengths in rear of the second. Roving Joe was a bad fourth,
Sir Henry fifth, and Master Thomas last. •
The De Trafford Cup of 200 Boys (if three run), added to
a handicap of 15 sovs each. One mile and a quarter.

Betting-5 to 4 agst The Clown, 11 to 2 agst Evelina,
100 to 15 agst Corporal, 7 to.l agst Wild Briar, and 100 to
3 agst Affection.
At the third attempt The Clown got away with the lead,
and at a strong pace cut out the work, followed by The
Corporal and Wild Briar, who were succeeded by Castanet
and Evelina, the roar being brought up by Honesty.
They ran in this order for a quarter of a mile, when
Wild Briar ran into second place, and excepting that
Evelina and Corporal disputed with each other
for the third place, no alteration occurred until
fairly within the straight, when Corporal dropped back,
and Castanet on the right of the Clown drew up to the
quarters of Wild Briar. Mr. Naylor's mare was in diffi-
culties-at the distance, and the Clown was left with a
clear lead, Butler keeping him at work all the way.
Castanet wa% never able to catch the "old Cure," who
won easily by a length ; fully /six lengths divided Castanet
from HOnesty, who ran through his horses within the
straight, and finished about half a length in advance of
Wild Briar fifth. Corporal was sixth, and Affection last,
beaten off. _ _

The Westmorland Handicap of 5 sovs each, with 50 added

tage to the distance, where she "cut it" in the most un-
mistakeable fashion, and the favourite won iu a canter by
three lengths, which distance also divided the second and
third. Narrow Escape was last, beaten about two lengths
front Highland Duck.

CROYDON SUMMER METING—WEDNESDAY.
r ..Again have the members of the Croydon committee
most profitably "improved the occasion" by instituting
another suburban meeting during a comparatively blank
week. The splendid weather that, throughout the Whit-
suntide
holidays, has favoured the pleasure-se kers still
furnished au additional inducement to visitors, and the
number of shillings taken at the gate must have consider-
ably enriched the race fund. The new stand and enclo-
sure at Croydon has been constructed with every regard to
the comfort and convenience of the public, and there is
probably no minor meeting held in any part of the king-
dom at which the accessories and business arrangements
have received so much attention. The one drawback to the
entire success of the day's sport, and one which must have
tended lap:great measufeto reduce thestrength of the fields to
the different events, was the hardness of the ground. The
card e'ulbilaced seven iteW', and, although the racing was
of average interest, the sp)rt presented few features
worthy of especial comment. Nine ran for the opening
lace of the day, the Woodside Plate ; and of these The
Flackler and Traviam were the most fancied, but neither
showed prominently in the race, which resulted in a
triumph for the fielders in the victory of an outsider in
Astracan. There was a tiresome "wait" before the five
sent to the post for the Committee Stakes could be de-
spatched on their journey, owing to the fractiousness of
Paleface, who could not be induced to join her horses, and
her vagaries at the post caused her to retire from the posi-
tion of first favourite, which she had held when the bet-
ting opened, her place being usurped by Lillie, who won
easily. Tina, on account of the form she displayed in the
first race of the day, when she ran second to Astracan, was
made the favourite for the Town Plate, and she justified
the confidence reposed in her by "walking in." Any odds
were laid on Electricity for the Two-year-old Stakes,
which .was reduced to a match between the favourite and
Lord Poulett's Tradewind, the former winning with great
ease. There was another long and wearisome delay over
the Half-mile Sweepstakes for two and three-year-olds,
which resulted in the defeat of the favourite, King W.chard,
and a splendid race between Bouquetiere and Arkadi, the
former winning by a head. The fielders had a " turn-up"
in the victory of Cataline for the Welter Cup, the winner
being the worst fancied of the four starters. Lonsdale,
the winner of the Nursery Plate, was objected to on the
ground of a cannon, but Mr. Heathcote, who acted for the
stewards, considered the evidence insufficient to justify
him in reversing the judge's decision.

The Woodside Plate (handicap) of 100 sovs ; winners
after May 29 (at 6 p.m.) 71b extra. Five furlongs.

At the bend Astracan, taking up the running, won by half
a length. Lupus was a bad third, Traviata was close up
fourth, Hackler fifth, Marquis of Worcester and Brown
Jug together sixth and seventh, and Adjutant was last,
tailed off.
