Physician, Fickle Wild Rose, Event, Caroline, Giantess,

was weighed for by Buckle, but an objection made by Lord
George Bentinck was examined by Messrs. Barrow and
Barlett, pronounced to be four years old, and was not per-
mitted to start. The mare, we understand, was sold on
Thursday to his lordship, but on a hint that she might
possibly be above the proper age, her mouth was ex-
amined, and found to be a very suspicious one ; his lord-
ship, therefore, not only refused to ratify the purchase,
but immediately objected to her starting.

cashire Witch, 11 to 2 agst Lady Wildair, 7 to 1 agst

Refraction, Longitude, Plaudit, and Stamp, and 25 to 1
apt any other.

A good start was accomplished at the first attempt, and,
a novel y here, not more than a quarter of an hour after
the time fixed for running. The lead was taken by Hope,
Lady Wildair, and Lancashire Witch following her, with
Caroline, Refraction, Longitude, Miss Sarah, and Glee,
in waiting on them. They ran in this way at an indiffe-
rent pace to the turn, where Caroline and Lancashire
Witch were beaten. At the road Miss Sarah took the
lead from Hope, and carried the running on to the stand,
where Refraction went up, took up the running, increased
her lead 'as she went on, and won easily by a couple of
lengths, Hope, who had followed her, beating Miss Sarah
for second by a length, Lady Wildair a good fourth, Glee
fifth, Sir C. Monck's filly sixth, and Longitude seventh.
The other were beaten off.

Mr. J.Thompson's The Wreck, beating Mr. Dockeray's

given notice that he will permit no horse which shall have
been proved to have been fraudulently run under a false
description to be entered for or to run for any plate,
match, or sweepstakes, or other prize at Goodwood here-

TROTTING MATCH AGAINST TINIE.—An extraordinary
horse (of the sort, having been engaged for the last two
years in drawing a bricklayer's cart,) belonging to a re-
spectable tradesman of Eton, was backed two months
ago to trot five miles in 17 minutes, for £5O. The match
came off on Monday evening, on Hartford-bridge Flat.
The five miles were performed in 17 minutes and 25
seconds ; the backers of time thus winning, and to a very
large amount.

ALLEGED FOUL-PLAY ON THE TURF.--A great sensa-
tion was made at Tattersall's, on Saturday week, by some
strong remarks made by Mr. Gully, the owner of Old,.
England. a horse entered for the Derby, about the con-
duct of Mr. Hargreaves, who, whilst the current betting
against the horse was 20 to 1, had been betting largely at
25 and 30 to 1, and on Friday and Saturday had laid
£12,000 to £lOO against him. Mr. Gully inferred that
some foul play against the horse was intended, and en-
tered into statements, to the effect that William Day, a
you'h, son of Mr. John Day, the trainer, had been tam-
pered with by Mr. Bloodsworth and Mr. Stebbing, and
induced to lay £35,000 to £l,OOO against the horse. Mr.
Hargreaves admitted that he had betted largely, but con-
tended that he did so from his own knowledge of the
merits of the horse, and a conviction that he could not
win, denying that he had had any communication what-
ever with Day, or any of the family, and that he had any
connexion whatever with Bloodsworth or Stebbing. At
the call of Mr. Gully, he staked the amount of his bets
against the horse, and offered then to lay £2,500 to £lOO
Against Old England, which was immediately taken by
Mr. Gully, and booked to Mr. Haggarty, of Manchester.
The matter was to be laid formally before the stewards.

ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—As the season progresses,
and the weather becomes milder, the spectators at the
galas at these gracefully-laid-out gardens continue to in-
crease. Indeed the persons who have availed themselves
of the numerous pleasures afforded have been numerically
greater up to this time than in any previous season—a
circumstance that argues much for the appreciation of the
labours of the various artistes of the establishment. The
eruption of Mount Heels gives universal satisfaction.
The addition of several aquatic displays of the pyrotech-
nic art, and the more rapid succession of firing than on
the opening nights, greatly heightens the effect. There is
no month in the year in which the gardens look better
than in June.

LIVERPOOL A TYPE OF THE METROPOLIS has been
the spirit-moving title of a talented article that has re-
cently appeared in the metropolitan press on the magni-
ficent extension of business premises in Liverpool, and
we are fully satisfied that every day tends to establish
more fully our claim to be the second town in the universe.
Among other proofs is the immense extension of:the
premises of Mr. Keys, mache warerooms, Bold-street.
Papier mache which has been held in the highest estima-
for the last fifteen years in London—to which city its
manufacture was solely confined—was a few years since
introduced into the northern counties by the establish-
ment of an agency in Liverpool, but so rapid has been
its adoption, and so great the satisfaction it has given,
that it was found necessary to establish a manufactory
here, and to give full scope for the display of the orna-
ments produced a splendid room for displaying framed
engravings, fire-screens. &c., has been constructed be-
hind the present shop. It is lighted from the roof, and
papered in rich crimson, a colour that contrasted well
with various richly gilt and grand front pier-glasses, and
screen frames, with which it is decorated. We Cannot
