The reported engagement of Ilayhoe by Baron Roths-

child, as private trainer, mentioned Iv us a fortnight

The entire stud of the late Mr. Meiklam will be brought
to the hammer on the Ist of January, at York, by Messrs.

Stiletto, 3 yrs, Sicily, 3 yrs, Gimcrack, 3 yrs, colt by lago

The celebrated greyhound Border Chief did not die from
disease or illness, but was killed on his way home to Not-
tingham by a horse travelling in the same box with him.

CHESTER AUTUMN MEETING.—ThE ALMA STAKES.—
A new stake has been established by Mr. Topham at
Chester, in commemoration of the glorious victory
achieved by the allied troops on the banks of the Alma—
i victory which will be ever memorable for the valour
which it produced from our countryme4p; and the sacri-
fices which were made without any adequate result. The
Alma was a battle which, it would seem, was fought
merely to show what sterling stuff our army was com-
posed of, and nothing more. It was one of the many
grave mistakes of the campaign, and one for which the
home government alone is responsible. In looking over
the list of names in the new stake, we are sorry to find so
few names in accordance with the name and spirit of the
stake. There are but seven names in the whole list
which have any bearing upon the subject which has
originated the stakes—and they together number eighty-
one. It is true there are twenty without names, and we
trust that these will be named after some of the heroes of
the Crimea, especially of those belonging to the 23rd,
which regiment may be said to have had the post of
honour and of danger, as undoubtedly it had the lion's
share (or, more properly, perhaps, we should say, " the
bear's ") of the casualties of the bloody day. We trust
that similar stakes will be established at other meetings,
and that we shall have Inkerman Stakes, Balaklava Stakes,
and the Alliance Cup.—Racing Times.

THE 3/IARYLEBONE ELECTION terminated on Tuesday,
the numbers at the close of the poll being —For Lord
Ebrington, 6,940 ; Jacob Bell, 4,167. Majority, 2,773.
EAST GLOUCESTERSHIRE.—On Tuesday, Mr. R. S.
Holford, of Westonbirt, a Conservative, was elected for
East Gloucestershire, without opposition, in the room of
Sir M. Beach, Bart.
