(FROM OUR CORRESPONDSNT.)
The two great meetings in th e north and south of England have
fully answered the expectations of the promoters of them. At
Newcastle, in future, the meeting is to be reduced from four do/
to three—a most judicious improvement in my eyes. The lM
meeting was one of the best, it not the very best, ever held O'
that course. The improvensents of the stand, and the accommodk
tion furnished to jockiea and trainers are deserving of the greatest
praise, arid worthy of imitation in other quarters. The fields, in
nearly every race were large, and afforded ample room for specula.
tion. The results of the Produce Stakes, the North Derby Stakes,
the Northern Oak Stakes, the Hunters' Stakes, the Queen's Plater .
the Northumberland Plate, and Corporation Plate, were all won 11
the horses I specified, as may be seen by reference to my past letter,
and shows 1 had not miscalculated the merits of the competing
animals. The style in which Mentor won his engagements has
made him a rattling favourite for the great northern event, and I
should not at all be surpri-ed to see him at the-head of the-poll
before the day comes. For the Northumberland Plate Inheritesstr
position at the finish clearly evinced what she might have done st
Ascot with a different jockey on her back. The other races coil
for no particular observation. At the Bibury Meeting Cowl, rear
vered from his Ascot lameness, found no difficulty in winning the
Produce Stakes; while for another handicap Queen Mab, as might,
have been expected, with so accomplished a jockey as Captain'
Pettat, beat a good field, including Ajax and Sorella. The Chink
pagne, as a matter of course, fell to Mr. Wreford, but not re
the one he intended it to go, owing to Sam Day being unable to
stop the winner. Freelance was a great pot for this race, and'
many were stuck by it. In the Andover Stakes Arcanus showed
in very different colours (in both senses of the word) to what be
did at Hampton, and from the manner in which his present
owner won with him, convinces me I was not wrong in selecting
hint to beat the small field he met at Moulsey. Mr. Etwalre ,
.Egis won the Great Hampshire Stakes from a moderate fields -
thanks to the fine riding of young Kitchener. The Steward?
Plate brought together a field of horses, and furnished the most'
exciting race perhaps ever known on any course. .
heats were run for it, and as each heat was a mile and .
a half, many of the horses ran nine miles, IS % .
enough in all conscience for the money-1301. It was ultimate/
won by Sparsholt, a son of game little Venison, beating the'
" veteran hero of a hundred fights," Adrian, by a neck. Soule `,,,
time since, when speaking of races for gentlemen riders, I reconk :
mended my readers never to look to the horses, but to back the ,
riders, and advised them in all cases to give the preference to '
Captain Pettat and Percy Williams, who arc immeasurably sup& ' i'
.
rior to any of their class.
In this instance they were first and second. Few race-horses 014;
the present or past century have undergone more vicissitudes on'
fortune than Adrian. The number of times he has run lam abs ''
solute!), afraid to say. He is perfectly acquainted with nearly ever/ t 1
race-course-in England, from Newmarket, where he ran second to =
Chapeau-de.Spagne for a three hundred soya. sweepstakes, frosts'
Goodwood, where he ran second to Harkaway for the Cup, down te':
the Plate races in Hampshire, where I have seen him started for font •
heats for a sweepstakes of one sovereign, with seven added, and
from which Golconda Stake, two sous. were to be deducted for tb'l
second. His late performance was a most meritorious one, and s!t
attribute it entirely to the able manner in which his jockey rode
1 him. Adrian is a sluggish, bad tempered horse, and requires s4=,
1 good deal of riding ; frequently he will not run a yard. He found,
himself, however, on that day in the hands of one who would I
not be trifled with, and who when once he got hold of him by the''
head, was enabled to bring out those qualities which other men has
failed in doing from a lack of physical strength. The only subject -
of regret on the course was that John Day, who acted as clerk 01 ..
the course, should have been, by the bad conduct of his two sons, '
prevented from seeing them exhibiting their talents on a tourers
where their education may be said to have commenced and ended.
I understand that Lord Palmerston has taken a lively interest in
the fate of young John, and has promised to endeavour to obtain
at least a mitigation of his sentence. I have little doubt that
after a year or so the Jockey Club will restore him again to that
sphere in which he was wont to shine so conspicuously, and enable
him to support those who are entirely dependent upon him. Man/
people complain of the severity of the sentence : surely, after all the
disgraceful exposes that have taken place on the turf an example ,
was wanted, and it is only to be regretted that one hitherto so'
much respected should form that example.
The decision come to by the Jockey Club respecting the age Of
the Queen of Cyprus, is a convincing proof of the truth of the old
proverb, " give a dog a bad name, &c.," and of the necessity that
exists for the registration of foals. It must be conceded, however
unfortunate Mr. Wagstaff's position may be, that Lord George s
Bentinck has made some amends to him by offering to take thei
mare off his hands now her real age is distinctly defined.
The Winchester meeting is the only one of any importance nest
week, and from the number of training stables in the vicinit/
some good sport may be anticipated. , =
The Great Produce Stakes has eleven subscribers. The winner
of the two Riddlesworths and the Column, Winchilsea, if he coulee
to the post, should beat the field with ease. Mr. Treen's Bastion
will in all probability occupy his usual place of second. M.
Wreford, from the forward state of his two-year- olds, may be said
almost to farm these stakes in the south of England. It may not
be generally known that to " force" his colts, Mr. Wreford keeps UP
a most expensive dairy of cows, the new milk of which all goes to
the brood mares and their produce.
For the Original Hampshire Stakes six are left in, and
although Queen Mab has the top weight, eight stones
assigned to her, still from her stoutness, and the assist'
ante she will derive from her lucky jockey Nat, I land
she will be found the Winner. Ajax is very fond of being second
in most of the races he runs in, and the Original Hampshire Stake•
will be no exception to his predilection. Old England will most -
likely walk over for the Yearling Stakes. To the Two-year-old
Stakes there are six named, and the race appears to lay between'
the West Countryman and Deerchase, from the game manner in
which the former beat Physalis and a large field. She ought, I
conclude, to win this stake without match trouble; but of the sore*,
teen animals named for the Winchester Stakes. I think Brush,
Idleness, and Misdeal most deserving of support.
In conclusion, those who wish to see one of the oldest cities in
England, and enjoy a good dly's sport, should go down en Wed'
nesday or Thursday, and they will be amply repaid for their I
trouble. TELEGRAPH. 1.

Sir. :M. W pack of hounds (124)
were landed early on Friday morning at Colman's Irongate-whar6
near the 'lower, from the General Steam Navigation CompanY'•
steam-ship London Merchant, that arrived early that morning froth
Newcastle. It was said they were for immediate sale. . _

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—THE RESULT OF INTOXICA-
TION.—On Friday morning, between the hours of eleven and
twelve o'clock, a frightful accident occurred to George
Ackland, an engineer, residing in Goodge.street, Totten'
ham.coult-road. It appears that Ackland, some few months
ago, received a legacy, under the will of a deceased relative:
since which time he has totally neglected his business and
abandoned himself to habits of intoxication. Yesterdel
morning, about the hour named, he was brought home
his lodgings by a companion frantic with drink, and aft
some considerable difficulty was safely conveyed to bed. Sh°rl
afterwards, loud screams were heard proceeding from a fell°
lodger living underneath, and it is supposed that in looking out of
the wi.adow Ackland must have overbalanced himself, and WWI
thereby precipitated into the yard, falling with extreme violence
upon his head. Medical assistance was promptly procured, when
it was ascertained that the unfortunate man had sustained an exte-
'Jive fracture of the skull. From the nature of the injuries be P.,
received there are not the remotest hopes of his recovery.
