were the first away, and came on together for nearly half
the distance, when Mr Barber's fitly was beaten, and

race to the distance, where the former appeared to have

for about two hundred yards, when Dalwhinnie dropped
away, and Adolphus was left in second place, and although
Vinell made every exertion with Mr. Saxon's colt, Lord

ness of The Clown, who refused to join his horses, the lot
were despatched, Fidelia being the first to show in advance,
with Ecarte and the Clown in close attendance; but after
going 200 yards the latter was cased, and Ecarte held the
oomtrand to the distance, wkere King's Cross ran through
and passed the stand clear of his horses, of whom Tho
Crown lay second, the favourite third, Ecarto having been
pulled into the real, the lot going round the turn clear of
each other. The next important change was three-quar-
ters of a mile from home, when the lot took close order,
and, as they came into the straight, Ecarte emerged from
the ruck, and took his place at the quarters of the Clown,
who, however, dropped back suddenly when fairly in the
liaa for 114)1110, 5214a11u0f t eireulteueousV the favourite

hell out signals of distress, so that the race was confined
to King'S Cross, Fidelia, and Ecarte, the former of whom
drew gradually away from the distance, and won in a
canter by three lengths. Ecarte was eased at the dis-
tance, when pursuit was hopeless, and passed the post
four lengths in rear of Fidelia. Ilium pulled up on the
post, and the Clown, who broko down badly in his off
fore leg, was dismounted in front of the stand, Parry lead-
ing him into the enclosure.

SALE OF BLOOD STOOK AT TATTERSALL'S ON

MONDAY.

The horses in training of Mr. Mackenzie, who is giving
up racing for the present, were disposed of on Monday by
Messrs. Tattersall, and realised good prices, one only re-
maining unsold. Mr. F. Rowlands bought the first three
lots, it was presumed, for Sir W. Call. Mochrie is a useful-
looking filly and a good fencer. Courtier, a very well-
shaped colt by King of Trumps out of Last Love, is cer-
tain to win a race, and was not dear at 550 guineas. Ram-
part has shown some racing form, and being sound will
also be an acquisition to the stable. Victorine was taken
by Mr. R. Bell, for the Cobham stud, and, being by Orlando,
was worth the money. Mr. Heathcote gave quite enough
for Slowman, who, although a good-lookingcolt, is rather
uncertain, having frequently deceived his late owner.
Brown Bread, who showed, the mark of the irons on his
fore logs end fetloeks, looked very fresh, and having been
a good horse on the Turf, as well as highly bred, is likely
to make a useful stallion. He was decidedly cheap to Mr.
Eyke at 300 guineas. The yearlings of Mr. Morris, four
in number, were not sold. They were bread near 1.150t0n,
and are by Carnival and Macaroni. Mr. Morris has sent
them to be trained by Drewitt, at Lewes. The names of
the purchasers, with the list of prices, are appended :

THE PRECK OF THE EMPIRE QUEEN.

ARKLOW, IRELAWD, Aug. 10.

Dr. llalpin now reports that about twelve hours
after the crew had been rescued from the timber
laden ship Empire Queen, which had sunk on
Arklow Bank, the vessel floated off with 18 feet
of water in her hold. The wind was blowing
strong at the time from W.S.W., and increased
to a moderate gale during the night. When
it was first observed that she had floated the
agent for the owners obtained the services of the
lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution to
go with the master and others that an effort
might be made to save her. The boat was accord-
ingly launched, the vessel boarded, and with much
difficulty she was got before the wind, worked up to
Kingstown, and placel in a safe berth in the Old
Harbour. The Bristol steamer Rosetta took the
ship in tow for a time, but failed to manage her,
owing to the loss of her rudder. The assistance of
the pilot boat Leiuster was afterwards engaged,
she going astern and steering, and when the water-
logged vessel arrived off Daltrey Island the steam
tugs came out and towed her into harbour.

The New Free Press of Vienna gives the sub-
joinal det.iils respecting the sad deaths of Prince
Gagarin and his son, the latter seventeen years of
age :—" The father and S3ll, accompanied by M.
Reimann, the tutor of the young man, were at
seven in the evening fishing in a rather shallow
mill-stream quite close to the water-lock of Ischl,
in Upper Austria, when, without notice given, the
gates were suddenly opened, and the three gentle-
men were carried away by the torrent. M. Rei-
mann succeeded in gaining the left bank, and he
immediately rushed across the bridge to the assist-
ance of the Prince and his son, whom he had seen
disappearing on the right of the stream. At the
same time the Princess, who was seated in a sedan
chair looking on, witnessed the whole catastrophe,
and at first mute with terror, she at last fainted,
and was in that state taken to her hotel. The un-
happy wife and mother said to Dr. llirsch'ell, on
his coming to her aid: " All nay fortune shall be
yours if you save my husband and sou I' Assist-
ance was quickly organised; the Prince was soon
found, but he had received an injury in the head
from coming in contact with a floating piece of
wood, and to restore life was impossible. The
body of his son was not recovered until next morn-
ing. The Princess, long an invalid, is in a critical
state. The Emperor of Austria was among the
first to testify his profound sympathy for her in
this calamity, and he begged that she should re-
move to Smunden in order to be absent from a
locality which must cause her such poignant recol-
lections."

Mr. Barnett Lyons, dating from 11, Mount-
square, Cardiff, tells a strange story in a local news-
paper. Mr. Lyons states that on the 23rd of
March last his daughter Esther left her home, and
at the end of a week was traced to the residence of
the Rev. Nathaniel Thomas, a Baptist minister,
residing at Roath. At first Mr. Thomas denied
that the girl was in his house, but ultimately his
wife told Mr. Lyons that the girl had been there,
but had since been removed " into hands the safest
and best is all ways," which Mrs. Thomas will
" never betray." In au extraordinary letter from
this lady, which Mr. Lyons publishes, she tells him
that her conscience is perfectly clear, and she does
not fear any punishment which he may inflict.
She assures him she is the friend and not the
enemy of 1416 family, of whose heads she would not
hurt a hair, and she prays that " the veil may be
removed" from before Mr. Lyons, and that be
" may,mourn and bathe in the fountain opened for
sin and for uncleanness, and be saved." In the
meanwhile knowledge of his daughter's whereabouts
is denied him.
