5 to 1 each agst Monarch of the Glen, Kidderminster, and
Snowdrop, 8 to 1 agst Kingland, and 10 to 1 agst Mer-
cury. The weighing having been got through at the
Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire Stands whenever it was
possible, the numbers of the twenty-four competitors wore
hoisted in capital time, and Mr. M'Goorge had the lot
under orders by four o'clock, the hour fixed for the race,
but the usual anxiety of the jockeys to get off, and the
fractiousness of Kidderminster and Python, caused a delay
of twenty-eight minutes before the flag could be lowered,
which it eventually was to a wretched start—fifteen out of
the lot getting away in a line, while the remainder came
on in straggling order, the last three to get away being
Lady Raglan, Noyau, and Kidderminster. When they
had fairly settled down to their work the line was
broken by Mercury, in the centre of the course,
taking a slight lead of Snowdrop on the upper ground,
Kettleholdor lying on the latter's right, Nelusko, Actma,
Warrington, See-Saw, Blue Gown, Kingsland, and Lady
Coventry following closely, the Makeshift colt and Mon-
arch of the Glen heading the remainder ; the last lot,
upon whom the cracking pace at which Mercury led the
field began to tell being Professor Anderson, Porter's
Knot, Restitution, Lady Raglan, Noyau, and Kiddermin-
ster. The first to give way was Nelusko, whose retire-
ment took place before reaching the turn of the lands,
where the ruck became even more densely packed, and
Mercury drew at least a clear length of Snowdrop, Blue
Gown being observable in the centre, with Warrington
and Kingsland in attendance, Fordhatn taking a line for
himself on See-saw in the track, the colours of Wolsey now
being seen with those of Taraban on the extreme lower
ground. Before reaching the red post the field became
somewhat straggled, and Mr. Angell's pair, Kettle holder
and Python, took their places on the top ground
simultaneously with the retirement of Actael. Passing
the old betting post Snowdrop was in trouble, and the
ruck breaking up, Cecil, who had been shut in, ran
through his horses and took the fifth position just behind
Blue Gown; but Mercury was at this point at least three
lengths in front, making the pace so hot that the Cesare-
witch winner, after looking dangerous for a few strides,
compounded, and was passed by Warrington, the Make-
shift colt, and Restitution, the latter of whom passed a lot
of beaten horses. As they approached the site of the old
Duke's stand Blue Gown and See-Saw decreased Mercu-
ry's advantage, and a distance and a half from home the
Northern horse was disposed of, dropping into the rear
of Blue Gown and See-Saw, both of whom were going so
well that it was impossible to say which had the best
of it. See-Saw, however, after racing at Blue Gown's
head for a few strides, took up the running, and at the
commencement of the stand enclosure was a length
in front of his opponent, nothing else being within hail,
and though Wells made every exertion, and the Derby
winner answered to each call with great gameness, the
weight told its tale at the finish, and See-Saw forging,
gradually ahead, won easily by a length and a half. Mer-
cury was third, beaten three lengths from Sir Joseph
Hawley's colt, and finished a head only in front of the
Makeshift colt, who was placed fourth. Then came Lady
Coventry fifth, four lengths off, Actrea being sixth, Resti-
tution seventh, Warrington eighth, Cecil ninth, and Snow-
drop next, slight intervals intervening. Kettleholdor was
eleventh, Nelusko twelfth, Lady Raglan thirteenth, Pro-
fessor Anderson, Noyau, Kingsland, Porter's Knot, Wol-
sey, Taraban, Python, and Monarch of the Glen finishing
in the order named, and Kidderminster, the Princess colt,
and Kaupai pulling up on the post last. Time as taken by
Benson's chronograph, 2 min 15 sec.

At one time a woman could hardly walk through
the streets of Francisco without having every ono pause
to gaze on her ; and a chill was so rare that once at a
theatre in the same city, where a woman had taken her
infant, when it began to cry, just as the orchestra began
to play a man in the pit cried out—" Stop those fiddles
and let the baby cry. 1 have not heard such a sound for
ton years." The audience applauded, the orchestra
stopped, and the baby continued its music.—Westminster
Review.

CHARLES DICKENS'S READINGS•

David Copperfield and Mrs. GaraP.
Another immense audience, filling St. Jarae,...
Hall in every part, last evening welcomed air,
Charles Dickens with enthusiastic applause uP°o
'
~0
the occasion of his reappearance, there, for
Second of his Farewell Readings in the metropell'
In order, if possible, to prevent the recurrence of
the disappointment experienced upon the previ°llg
occasion by those who arrived at the doors of tuo
Hall only to find it utterly impossible to gai°Bd.
mittance—reserved seats, stalls, balconies, galleri;
and even gangways, being all fully occupied the
unwelcome fact for many had yesterday to be 33_
vertised beforehand that every labelled seat in t
enormous hall had been already purchased. 13'14
yet, notwithstanding this precaution, hundreds
baffled candidates for admission were visibly and
audibly there last night, crowding the entrances
and the contiguous corridors.
•
It must be remembered, of course, that last night
was an exceptionally great attraction even amerl.g
the very varied excellence of these wonderful reau,,
ings by our great novelist—" David Coppergel,
and " Mrs. Gamp" being respectively—as they ce.`"
tainly are, to our thinking—about the most /;
e
markable of the whole s "David Copperficuil
in a manner, takes precedence of all the others,
by reason of the extraordinary variety of the de'
lineations (or impersonations rather) introduced /a
0
that one Reading—by reason of the astonislti%
power of the descriptive passages, as in the instline
of the storm at Yarmouth ; and no less, be it salt'
because of the exquisite drollery of those P°r•
tions of the reading which relate to Doaly's 1010
for Dora, or because of the delicate yet masculiao
little
pathos of every syllable having reference to
Emily, uttered by that noble-hearted Fishcreeitl:
Mr. Peggotty. " Mrs. Gamp," again, bears el`
the palm triumphantly—brandishing it, as it Were'
on the top of her immense gig utubrella---f3
and away above all the other minor (purely
comic) readings which are introduced by waY
after-piece: and this by right of that broad and nu "f
;
tutus humour—as representatives of which that
same immortal lady and her mythical friend, I‘lll.
llarri4, may be pronounced to be altogether u/1‘
rivalled and incomparable exemplars.
What struck us very forcibly last night in
regard to the individualisation of his characters
by Mr. Dickens in his rapid and startheo
distinct impersonations of them, as they 0/1
after another, so to speak, came into the fore'
ground, turn by turn, among the imagin3r;
interlocutors—was this, that so individualized era
they, so entirely apart do they stand from one 31/°;
ther, that it would be as utterly impossible for 14°J
one, listening to Mr. Dickens, and watching bias'
to mistake Ham, let us say, for Mr. Peggotty,
Mrs. Crupp for Mrs. Gamp, as it would be for AN
one to confuse Dora with Mr. Micawber, or gr.
Mould with Mrs. Gummidge. Each in turn is a crea-
ture perfectly sui generis. And each, instead of bell
so to express it a mere limning upon a surface, as
a picture, bears so far,a resemblance to a statue tilt
you can in a manner go all round it. Only, t a
statue, here, is flesh and blood--is living 813?
breathing—literally (for once) a speaking likeness
Familiar as they were to us all—
" Beloved as Fable and believed as Truth"—
those wonderful characters peopling "
Copperfield"—how they were welconed one after
another as they appeared (for they really seemed to
;
appear) and spoke (as they actually did speak) 13°0
evening ! Mr. Peggotty first of all, that 410
salt-water fisherman—or, as he calls himself, It
his tender love for his niece E uily, tb3,,
" babby in the form of a great Sea PorkyPiae.•
Ham—not the " chuckleheaded fellow" of Seer-
forth, but—the noble, stalwart young sailor trem-
bling through and through with his intense love
for the little creature he had seen grow up before
him " like a flower." Mrs. Gumnaidge, with evert'
thing going contrairy with her, poor, love-la
widow as she is, until all her innate unseltishce't
gushes out all of a sudden under her senseof thegrea,
calamity which has befallen her benefactor. PrettS
little Emily. Radiant, handsome, curly-headed'
bright-eyed, reckless, heartless Steerforth. PI;
with her bewitching little silly coquetteries.
Micawber, with the condescending roll in his voice'
and his intermittent bursts of confidence. gr 3;
Micawber (who is quite worthy of him) with tier
high sense of her family, her impassioned deter-
mination that, come what may, she never Wlll
forsake Mr. Micawber, and her ludicrously fatuous
way of summing up, quite logically and practicalll'
the manner in which to deal with his chronic I°3"
pecuniosity and his interminable pecuniary involve'
ments. Traddles, too. And that marvellous bodi
ing forth for us of the lowest class of your
genuine London lodging-house landlady, 311:4t:
Crupp. And dear David Copperfield himse"
the most loveable of all the heroes of -1%-fr•
Dickens's greater fictions (as Nicholas NicklebY
the most high-spirited amongst them all) 11
David, whose laveableness is sufficiently vi,
indicated, as it seems to us, by the varie,,tl,,
of names enjoyed by him all through the story, be
who is the " Daisy" of Steerforth, the " Doady', P
Dora, the " Trotwood" of Aunt Betsy, the "Oise r
Davy bo" of Ham and Mr. Peggotty—just
recognisedly, too, under any of those names'
as when he is addressed as the any6l3r
Copperfield," of Mr. Macawber, on the " ,
•
Copperfull" of Mrs. Crupp. All through the rev'
ings of last night the enormous audience—hanSh/g
upon the every look and word of Mr. Dickens''
showed itself to be thoroughly appreciative;
The subtlest points as well as the most obviou
were caught up and applauded to the echo. Solne;
times the whole hall-full of people got shaken int,o
an uncontrollable burst of laughter by a single
word, as where David says that Mrs. Micabwer'
after making her toilette in his bedroom with the
aid of the paper of mixed pins and other arrange'
ments of a " luxurious" character (as gr.
Micabwer designates them)—on making her appear,,
ante—"comparatively speaking—looked 1-/-/oee/P,
So, also was it, at the utterance of Mr. Micawberl
one word " Discount," and at Traddles' echo
David's phras3 " not a bit"—the hall upon each
occasion resounding with shouts of laughter.
As to that wonderful piece of word-painti°t
the description of the great storm rolling /0
upon the beach at Yarmouth, it hushed tilt
whole assemblage into breathless attention, and at
its close, as the Author-reader was leaving the Plat,
form, won for him round after round of appl3`ls3'
or rather, it should be said, one prolonged acclanl`3;
i on. As to the Reading of " Mrs. Gamp," the Pas'
sages that seemed most to catch the fancy of t"0
audience last night were two inimitably ludic°
-
professional expressions of rather questionable gooa
will. Namely, where Mr. Mould, the undertakery
when expatiating to Mr. Pecksniff upon the remark
o
able qualities of Mrs. Gamp, as a woman with
intellect far above her station iu life—spealco of
her as "one of those persons one would feel 1:11'
posed to bury for nothing, and do it neatlf
too !" And where Mrs. Gamp herself, in an eqoulli
her
confiding outburst of philanthropy, from d
point of view, declares that "if she could aff°,(ci
to lay her fellow-creeters out for nothink she wctl'h
gladly do it, sich is the love she bears 'cm !"
Mrs. Gamp's voice yet ringing in their ears, tb
audience last night, still laughing, greeted .`,
Dickens on his departure with another riogio%
cheer, and then dispersed
