Great anxiety was felt at Newmarket re-
gardlng the ill-iea1th of Mr.. F. Grettan, the
owner Of 1'restonpans, first favorit for the
City and Suburban at EPSON, on the 27tl1
inst The illness Of the owner causes the
hackers of the fAvorir considerable uncasi-
ness. It is the general opinion ut headuuar-
tiers that MIR. James r. Keenc's .Foxta!I is
one Of the finest nurses in tile world, but it
is expecting almost too much for him to win

BEACoSsF1ELD's DEATH.
Special Cable.
LONDON, April :@t.-Ihc European press
continues to review the late Lord Dcacons-
fields career, expressing admiration for his
gifts and general approval OF his statesman
ship. It is not yet decided whether Paria-
ment will adjourn for the funeral which
takes place on Tuesday. The case Of Sir
Robert Peel serves as a precedent for
so doing Lord Palmcrston died during
q recess, and Earl 1Russell outlived his i:.-
lortance. 1t is the general impression that
there will be no adjournment the funeral,
nor any speech by Mr. Gladstone on Mon-
day. The Liberals are obviously opposed to
all adjournment. II Lord Beaconstieid had
died while Parliament was assembled it
would have adjourned, but next week bust
ness is urgent. The clubs and newspapers
