round the bend into the straight, at which point Lo Ma-

agst Miss Havelock, 5 to 1 agst Salamanca, 100 to 15 agst
Redbourne, 10 to 1 each agst Tormentor and (at first 10 to
1, afterwards S to 1) Christmas Carol. The lot were de-
spatched at the first attempt, Salamanca immediately on
the flag being dropped taking a slight lead of Lady
Lambton, Redbourne, and Miss Havelock lying together
clear of Christmas Carol, next to whom came Lady
Lambton and Safety, Tormentor bringing up the rear.
In this order they disappeared from View behind the hill ;
on reappearing in sight Salamanca had still a slight lead
of Lady Lambton, Redbourne, and the Vixen gelding,
these being clear of Tormentor, who made up her lost
ground, Christmas Carol and Charnwood lying at her
quarters. As they traversed the meadows towards the
mile-post Miss Havelock ran into the second place,
but she only held that position for a moment,
retiring into the extreme rear before reaching

the mile-post. Three-quarters of a miler from home
Christmas Carol headed Salamanca, Redbourne going on
third, Lady Lambton, the Vixen gelding, and Tormentor
being the most prominent of the others, of whom Safety
and Charnwood were at the head of the ruck. The lead-
ing division rounded the bend into the straight in a clus-
ter. The first to give way was Salamanca, who was
beaten directly they got in the line for home, and her
place was immediately taken by Tormentor, the Vixen
gelding passing Redbourne, while Lady Lambton retired
simultaneously with the movement of her stable com-
panion. The Carol, next the rails, had a clear head, and,
maintaining it to the end, won in a canter by two lengths
from Tormentor; three lengths behind Mr. Dunbar's
mare, the Vixen gelding was third ; Redbourne was a bad
fourth, Safety fifth, and Lady Lambton sixth. Some dis-
tance in rear of Lord Westmorland's second came Charn-
wood, who had never been prominent ; a long way off,
last of all, was Miss Havelock.

Betting— 7 to 4 on Hilda, 100 to 15 agst Merry Lass, 10
to 1 agst Grand Turk, 100 to 8 agst Glenlivet, and 100 to
6 agst Hymen. At the second attempt a start was effected
on rather indifferent terms, Lord Chatham, Wellington,
Hymen, and Adolphus being observable in the rear. The
first to show in advance was Glenlivet and M.A., La Rose
and Hilda being just behind them. Before reaching the
distance Hilda "split" the two leaders, and on reaching
the commencement of the stand enclosure she assumed
the lead, winning by three-quarters of a length ; a length
divided the second and third ; Regula, who pissed a lot of
eased horses at the stand, was fourth, La Roso fifth, and
Grank Turk sixth ; then came Peckwater, Alibi, the Day-

Mr. J. Dixon's Langham, 5 yrs, 11st (Mr. Edwards) 3
Betting —6 to 4 on Silenus, 2 to 1 agst Indigestion, and
10 to 1 agst Langham. The latter made play, followed
by the other two close up, and side by side, for a quarter
of a mile, when the pace became too hot for Langham,
who dropped into the rear. Half a mile from home In-
digestion took a slight lead, but within the distance he
was beaten, and the Duke of Newcastle's gelding won
by a length, Langham being several lengths in the rear.
The Walton Handicap of 5 sots each, 2ft, with 25 added,

Anxiety ; the others, in a body, being whipped in by
Tyroae and Woodbine. Coming into the straight, Colum-
bine, on the outside, closed with Pero, and Tyrone, in the
centre of the course, gradually drew forward, the favourite
lying well up. A fine race ensued between Adamanthea
and Tyrone, the result being a dead heat. Columbine,

Pero, Lady Lambton, Or. Wilson, in the order named ;
Victress seventh, Anxiety eighth, and Woodbine last.

LORD LYON.— We are happy to contradict the rumour that
this famous horse had broken down. He has done no work
since the Lincoln Meeting, and although he takes walk-
iug exercise every day, it is believed that he will not run
again. His legs, we are assured on competent authority,
are to all appearance sound.

FRIPONNIER.—The famous son of Chevalier d'lndustrie
has recently been suffering from an acute attack of influ-
enza, which gavo rise to considerable apprehension, and
necessitated constant attention for two whole nights. All
risk is now, we are happy to say, past, but it will be some
time before we have another chance of seeing "Frip" cut
down his fields as was his wont in mile races.

Granard Steeplechases will come off on Friday, the 26th
of the present month.
Vincennes Steeplechases will take place on the 22d and
29th March.

The three year old filly by Thormanby out of Morgan
la Faye has been named Lady Morgan.
The four year old filly by Lord of the Isles out of
Catherine Hayes has been named Miss Hayes.
Newark Races are fixed for Thursday, May 21. The
six races will include a Handicap with 50 sous added, the
particulars of which will shortly appear.
THE " LISTS" AT EPSOM. —We hear that the so-called
" Committee for the Suppression of the List Monopoly"
will, by an appeal to the law, endeavour to prevent list
betting at the ensuing Epsom Spring Meeting. This re-
solve, if true, is most selfish and unsportsmanlike, for the
list boxes at Epsom are totally unconnected with the
Urand Stand enclosure, and therefore do not interfere in
any way with the ready-money bookmakers who bet in
the ring.
THZ BREACH.—This horse, the favourite for the City
and Suburban, came over from Ireland a few days ago,
and has been located at Warwick with his stable-com-
panion, Fire-eater. It was generally reported in the town
that The Breach was at least a stone better than Fire-
eater, who cut up ignominiously in a Handicap Plate
(over three-quarters of a mile) a on by Sugarstick yester-
day. It may bo mentioned that the Breach does not find
favour with the horse-watchers, many of whom describe
him as little better than a hack. He has no engagements
at Warwick.

The wheat in the south of England is looking
bad, and the turnip crop is not poking very favourable.
Last year's turnip crop in the south was the most abundant
one known for years, ono acre yielding as much as ten
acres in some years.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Pills. Invalids dis
tractod by indigestion and discouraged in their search for
its remedy should make trial of this nevzr-failing medi-
cine. A lady, long .a martyr to dyspeptic tortures, writes
that Holloway's pills made her fuel as if a burden had been
taken off her. Her spirits, formerly low, have greatly
imp 'owed ' • her capricious appetite has givon place to
healthy hunger, her dull, sick headache has departed,
and g. adualry so marvellous a change has been effected
that she is altogether a " new creature," and again fit for
her duties. These pills may be administered with safety
to the most delicate, they never act harshly, nor do they
ever induce .weakness; they rightly direct deranged and
control excessive action.

An extraordinary case of poisoning was heard at
the Liverpool Police-court yesterday. The accused,
Charles Courtois, was the cook of a ship called the
Roscote, which arrived from San Francisco in the
Mersey on Tuesday, when he was given in charge
for, as is alleged, having poisoned a seaman named
Thomas Brown, and attempted to poison Richard
Murray, also a seaman on board the Roscote. On
the 29th of December, the vessel then being in
latitude 25.33 S., longitude 28.6 W., some curry
and rice was cooked by Courtois, and given to
Brown and Murray. The latter merely tasted
the mixture, and, not liking the taste of it,
threw it overboard. However he took enough
to make him seriously ill, for immediately
after he swallowed it he went into convulsions, and
his body became stiff and rigid. The captain gave
him a strong emetic, which caused him to vomit,
and he ultimately recovered. Brown, who ate the
whole of thb curry and rice he got from the cook,
was thrown into fearful convulsions directly after
doing so. An emetic and brandy was administered
to him, and every possible exertion made to save
him, but without avail ; he died in great agony the
same afternoon. The crew being convinced that
the cook had poisoned the men, insisted upon his
being placed under arrest. Ike was accordingly
put in irons. On his_ chest being searched a
bottle containing quicksilver and a peculiar kind
of dust was found in it, and it was also
discovered that verdigris had been scraped from the
ship's bell by some person. The captain was deter-
mined to have the matter thoroughly investigated,
if possible, and to that end preserved the vomit of
Murray, and the crew opened the body of the de-
ceased man Brown,." took out the whole of his
inside, and put it into a jar," as stated in the official
log. These were now in the hands of an analytical
chemist at Liverpool, and the prisoner was re-
manded until the result of that gentleman's exami-
nation can be ascertained. Shortly after the ship
sailed from San Francisco Brown and the prisoner
quarrelled and fought. The latter had got the worst
of the battle, and he was subsequently heard to say
that if he could not settle Brown by fighting, he
would do so in another manner.
