I CARMARTHEN AND CARDIGAN RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "WELSHMAN." SIR,—My attention has this day been called to a letter from the Very Rev. the Dean of St. David's, and I am sorry that I did not see it in time to reply in your paper, which is published this day. I can assure the Dean and the public at large, that it is my earnest desire to make the Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway the most effectual means of conveyance for persons travelling between London and stations South of Car- marthen, and stations between Tenby, Milford, and stations North of Carmarthen. The Dean will perceive by looking over the Carmar- then and Cardigan time table, that the express train leaving London at 9.1.), arrives at the Carmarthen station at 5.25, also, the third-class for South Wales, leaving London at 6 a.m., arrives at Carmarthen at the same time we now keep the passengers at Carmar- then until 6.5., in consequence of our train not being in from Llandissil. You will perceive that the train zo which the Dean refers arrives at the Carmarthen sta- tion at 6.36. Now, if I keep the train leaving Carmar- then for Llandissil to take the passengers, I shall detain the London passengers at Carmarthen for one hour and eleven minutes, from the time they arrive at Carmarthen; that is, they will be kept half-an-hour longer than they are now. I should be glad if the Dean or other gentlemen travellers from London to Pencader or Llandissil, and from Tenby, Milford, or other stations, would confer a favour on me by express- ing through your valuable paper, which they consider the greatest advantage-to have the passengers from London detained as above, so as to take the passengers from Milford and below, or leave the trains as at present. I feel obliged to the rev. the Dean, and shall be most happy to detain the train, as he requires, if the public will express their opinion on the matter. Allow me in conclusion to express my thanks to the Dean for his communication. I am, sir, Yours respectfully. ROBERT How, Receiver of the Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway. Allhallows Chambers, 49, Lombard-street. London, Oct., 5th, 1865.

LLANELLY.—THE NEVILL MEMORIAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN." SIR -Allow me a small space in the columns of your paper: to call the attention of the public at Llanelly, to the state of the above building, and the unnecessary delay in its completion. Doubtless, few of your readers know little or nothing about it, and the inhabitants of this town generally have almost forgotten it. 1 will just mention a few facts in connection with its history. About liteen months ago (July, 1864), the foundation was laid with considerable eclat, at least, as regards the talking, for there has been little work done since, though it was then confidently expected that the build- ing would be finished early this spring. Now, here the autumn is past and Christmas fast approaching, and no signs of the building yet being ready. It has almost become a byeword with every one, That building will never be finished," or, it is more charitably supposed by some that the contractor intends quietly taking as much time (about ten years) as the energetic" Nevill Memorial Committee" took to hatch the design and situation of this rather awkward-looking and badly situated building. There is, what is termed above, a Nevill Memorial Committee," and an honorary secre- tary but, where they are, or what they are doing, no one here knows. There is neither an inspector or clerk of the works engaged to look after the work; the com- mittee undertook that upon themselves, but have not yet, so far as I can learn, visited the building in their official capacity. The architect has been there twice in fifteen months. The contractor does everything he thinks proper, keeps the building locked up for a month or so with not one workman in it, and oftentimes with one, sometimes two, carpenters in, and a couple or so of masons, and a plasterer occasionally working there, just as he thinks proper. At the present rate of going on we may expect it opened about next Christmas twelve- months. By the bye, they were almost saved the trouble of opening it last week; it was nearly burned down. By some negligence a large heap of shavings and small pieces of dry timber were placed at the back of the building, and it is supposed some children, to amuse themselves, set fire to it; or even there are some who hint that it was the work of an incendiary. The consequence was, that some timber lying near caught fire and the flames rose very high, and but for the prompt assistance which was rendered to put them out, the whole building would have been burned down, which would probably relieve the so-called Nevill Memorial Committee" of a great burden and trouble. What the public demand is. that the building be at once com- pleted satisfactorily, which it is the committee's work to see done, or if they won't, to appoint some competent person under them and see that it is finished by Christ- mas at least, which is an easy task if it is properly attended to. It is of some consequence to the public, who have paid for it by their subscriptions, that it should be opened soon, as it will, I have no doubt, be very useful, and will prove a great boon to the town, as well as an additional public building I remain, Sir, yours respectfully, SPECTATOR.

TREGARO-N.-The progress of the works on the Manchester and Milford Railway, in this neighbour- hood, have been carried on with such rapidity, espe- cially owing to the very fine weather we lately had, that the locomotive may now be seen regularly on its way to this place with trucks bearing materials for the further construction of the line, in the direction of Aberystwith. It was on the evening of Wednesday, the 4th instant, for the first time, that a steam engine was seen in Tregaron, when a great many of the town folks came out to bid her welcome, and avail them- selves of a trip to Pont Trecefel. THE WESLEYAN METHODISTS AND MESSRS DA- VIES AND BEESTON.

The prisoner was wearing the coal when apprehended by P.S. Lyons on the charge of stealing the trowsers, and although the robbery of the coat was not then reported to the police, P.S. Lyons suspecting that the coat had been stolen retained pos- session of it. An indictment on this charge will be presented at the quarter sessions against the prisoner. HOlmB The British school at this place under Mr David E. Jones, passed a very satisfactory exami- nation recently, before Her Majesty's Inspector of Schools. The following is an extract of his letter to the authorities:—" This school passed a very satisfactory examination, and seemed to be well disciplined. The reading through the classes was very good, and was particularly so among the little children in the first standard. The arithmetic and exercises from dictation were very well done. In point of discipline the chil- dren seemed to have been remarkably well taught to abstain from trying to copy each other's performances, and to work quietly and attentively." CARD IGA-N. -BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—The usual fortnightly meeting of this board was held on Wed- nesday, the 4th inst., John Colby, Esq., in the chair After the ordinary business had been transacted, it was resolved that in consequence of the absence of the I committee appointed at the previous board, to report on the subject of Mr Mathias's resignation, as medical officer of the Workhouse, that the Board be adjourned until the following Saturday. A number of the guar- dians accordingly met on Saturday at the office of the Clerk, when it was resolved that Mr Charles Beavan, of St. Dogmell's, be requested to attend at the Workhouse as its medical officer until further notice. COUNTY COURT.—The bi-monthly Court for this district was held on Tuesday last, before H. R. Bagshawe, Esq., Q.C. A great number of plaints had been entered, but only a few came on for hearing, and none of these were any public interest. POLICE COFRT. Thomas Thomas v. David Morgan, for an assault. P.C. Thomas Thomas, stated that the defendant came towards him, and struck him on the eye, which is now discoloured. He acted like a mad- man, was very abusive, and was not sober Case being proved, defendant was fined 5s, and costs 15s paid. PETTY SESSION'S.—These sessions were held at the Council Chamber, on Friday, the 6th inst., before D. Jenkins. Esq., Thos. Davies, Esq., and Thos. Edwards, Esq. Daniel John v. John Morgan, for an assault. The plaintiff, being sworn, said I am a horse-breaker residing at St. Dogmell's. On Saturday evening last, I was going over Cardigan bridge, in company with Thomas Morris, when the defendant took hold of me by the collar, and kicked me once or twice. I feel the effects of the kick now. Not a word passed before this took place, and this is the third time he has abused me. Witnesses were brought forward, who corrobo- rated these statements, and the defendant was fined 21s and 18s fid cost. In default of immediate payment, one month's imprisonment. The same defendant was charged with being drunk and disorderly on the previ- ous Saturday evening, Fined 5s including costs, or in default 5 hours in the stocks. ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM GAOL.-On Wednesday, the 4th instant, a rather daring attempt was made to escape from the county gaol by three prisoners, two of whom were concerned in breaking the windows of Mr Webb, watchmaker, High-street, and the third with a burglary at the George, in Aberystwith. The prison being full, these three men were confined in one cell. and had been remarkable hitherto for their general good conduct, and one was allowed to assist occasion- ally as cook. This latter secreted a short poker and a knife, with which the men made an aperture in the wall, about a yard square, but failed to get through owing to the outer part of the wall being composed of trimmed stones. The turnkey on visiting the cell next morning at six o'clock found the door barricaded with their beds and the debris of the wall, and they also refused to open the cell door. The governor, Mr Evans, remonstrated with them mildly, but firmly, adding that obstinacy would avail them nothing. On entering the cell, strong and neatly woven ropes were found made from their bedding. The Magistrates sentenced each man to receive two dozen lashes, which was carried into effect on Friday last. PENNY READINGS. -k large and respectable meeting took place at the Guild Hall, on Friday evening last. to appoint a committee to make arrangements for carrying out the proposed weekly public readings during the coming winter. Sixteen gentlemen were proposed without regard to any religious or political bias. The readings, &c., will take place every Tuesday evening, in the Guild Hall. This is certainly a step in the right direction, and we heartily wish it every success.

GOGERDDAN AGRICULTURAL SHOW. The last Agricultural Show of the season, was held on Thursday at the beautiful seat of Pryse Pryse, Esq., the only active patron of agricultural competition in this part of the county. The gathering was more nu- merous and important even than on former occasions, and the cattle competing exhibited a higher degree of breeding than has been witnessed in the Gogerddan shows for years past. Coloured cattle were numerous and valuable, whilst black cattle were rather limited in number, but valuable in quality. The sheep were especially good, nor were pigs shy in showing up their best specimens. Besides the show of beasts, there was also an exhibition of vegetables and fruits, which gallantry ought to have taught us to mention in the first place, since this department was under the im- mediate patronage of Mrs Pryse Pryse, whose amiability and kindness has passed into a proverb amongst her people and whose favours on the present occasion were eagerly and worthily competed for. The weather was beautifully fine, the sky being cloudless, and the warmth of sunshine being tempered by a refreshing breeze. Gogcrdan itself was a perfect picture of pastoral peace—such a picture as Rubens, in his happi- est moments would have loved to paint, or Virgil to describe. The level fallow fields, and bright green sward, the gently swelling hills lifting to the skies a coronet of lordly oaks, whose fo'iage falling in the sere and yellow leaf, told a sad tale of the expiring year. And beyond—far down the shady valleys, the landscape swept and swept until the purple mountain in the far off distance blended with the sky. But all was good humour and cheer at home, where every com- fort had been provided by the hospitable lord of the soil, for the entertainment of his guests and tenants. Immediately as the judges had finished their inspection all present were invited to partake of a substantsal lun- cheon, to which over 100 guests sat, and did the most impartial justice. Col. Pryse, M.P., took the head of the table and was confronted by the host at the .foot. The Lord Lieutenant, proposed the health of Pryse Pryse; which- was received with loud and enthusiastic cheers. Mr Pryse responded in a humorous speech and then proposed the health of the Lord Lientenant, which was drank with all honors. The Lord Lieutenant in responding said he could not but feel flattered at the manner in which the mention of his name had been received by those whom he saw around him, and with whom he had been associated for so many years. During all that time, as at present, he had nothing more at heart than the welfare both of the landlord and tenants of that estate. (Cheers). He thought that exhibitions like that which they had just witnessed were calculated to do great good he was of opinion that the exhibition of that day was superior to any that bad been witnessed there before. He could not refrain from referring with praize to the black cows, and also most especially to Mr Edward's bull, which was superior to any animal of the kind he had seen there before. (Hear, hean. At that table there were a few present connected with other estates in the county; and he hoped that they would follow the example set to them that day by his nephew, and other landlords would follow their example. (Cheers). By so doing they would get better farmers and their farming better done. Their estates would become more like gardens if they aroused the emulation in the breasts of the farmers, and make them compete for excellence one against the other. (Hear, hear). The greatest pleasure he had in travelling along that road leading to Cardi- gan, which was by no means an agreeable road in the main, was to see his friend Mr Miller's farm, which he kept with the perfection of a garden, and by which in keeping so, he was putting money in his pocket at the same time that he was improving his property. (Hear, hear). He should conclude by hoping that the other estates in the county would follow the example of the Gogerddan estate in the matter of these shows, so that one estate might compete for excellence against another; but that Gogerddan might always continue to hold the first place. (Cheers.) Mr Pryse Pryse proposed the health of the judges, which was responded to by Mr Miller. The Lord Lieutenant then proposed the health of Mrs. Pryse. a toa t which was received with unbounded enthusiasm. When the cheering had subsided the "young squire"- Master Pryse Pryse—a fine boy, aged about four years, was mounted on a chair and shouted out Thank you." The infantile response of the young one for his lady mother was received with a peal of laughter and cheers. The following is the list of prizes STOCK.

THE CARMARTHEN TOWN COUNCIL AND THE PARADE TREES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN." SIR, It appears from the reports of the Counci meeting held on the 4th inst., when the extraordinary proposal to cut down the trees on the Parade was brought forward, that several members of the Council had promised to support the proposition. Now it appears to me that Councilmen should carefully abstain from pledging themselves to any particular course when such a question is about to be brought before them. The Council is, or ought to be, a deliberative body and members of it, however warmly they may feel on the subject to be discussed, ought to come together per- fectly free from any prior obligation, so as to be in a condition to weigh fairly the reasons that may be ad- duced for and against it. Had this been the case on the occasion in question, the common-sense remarks of Mr Morgan and Mr Mostyn Davies, and the homely but sensible observations of Mr William Jones, would have been received with more deference, Sc those gentlemen would have experienced less of the interruption which is apt to arise when debate degenerates into partisan- ship. To unbiassed observers, the vote of the majority, was most illogical. It deprecated destroying the large trees, and favoured the felling of the small ones thus in one breath condemning the proposed atrocity, and providing for its ultimate accomplishment. You shall not destroy all the trees but we will provide for their inevitable extinction. The landowner's course of proceeding, also, would" I have been freer from objection, if he had contented himself with making a written application to the Coun- cil, instead of risking the suspicion of endeavouring to retain individual Co retain individual Councilmen. I acquit him of any in- tention unfairly to bias those whom he spoke to but they ought not to have been put in an equivocal posi- tion. Their want of prudence in promising him their support is, however, less excusable than his very natural desire to obtain it. Civis.

SCHOOLS FOR THE SONS OF FARMERS AND SHOP-KEEPERS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN." SIR,—Notwithstanding the pardonable pride Dr Nicholas may feel in the notice his idea of Middle Class Schools has obtained, I do not think it at all necessary that the worthy doctor in his anxiety to promote the establishment of his idea in practice, should depreciate the Grammar Schools, especially as the cause he upholds does not need to lower any existing institution. I think the doctor has been a Professor at the Presbyterian College at Carmarthen, and I suspect that it is not rare to meet men there preparing for the ministry who are very nearly as proficient in Greek and Latin as in English compo- sition, and who certainly can spell Latin or Greek as well as they can English. I hope this extreme case is not that which the doctor alludes to, where he says he has '-known boys positively bewildered and baffled with Greek and Latin Verse Composition before they could spell correctly a column of words in a spelling book, or recite the parts of speech in an English Grammar." I say I hope that is not the instance he had in his mind's eye when he was writing, for I will remind the doctor that that was not a grammar school, but a theological college, very peculiarly placed, into the position of which it is here unnecessary to enquire. But from the justa-position of the attack upon the grammar schools, and the example cited above, it appears as though Dr Nicholas was instancing a grammar school. From my experience of grammar schools, which I am free to confess, is limited to two or three cases, I can hardly think such a description as the above will apply. I think the doctor quite right, though, in drawing the attention of parents to the sham" of the yearly or half-yearly examinations with their corresponding distribution of prizes. Sir, I am afraid, in the large majority of cases those prizes are far too easily won, and the list of prize winners so ostentatiously printed in the column of the local paper, only leads the young- sters to form an exaggerated opinion of their acquire- ments. Although I am not satisfied that the Doctor should depreciate grammar schools, needlessly as I think, yet I admire all he aims at in the suggestion of middle- class schools, for which there is an ample opening. My objection is, that, in trying to promote their establish- ment, he should injure the only really good schools we have at present. I am. sir. vours. See.. I NEMO. I

I THE BISHOP OF ST. DAVID'S, MR. FALCONER I AND MR. J. R. BISHOP. I TO THE EDITOR OF HE WELSHMAN." I SIR,-Tlie very entertaining, and in many respects. very instructive correspondence which took place be- tween Dr Thirlwall and Mr Falconer some time since, and which was duly recorded in the WELSHMAN, has, I perceive by your paper of this day, been brought up again by Mr J. R. Bishop, in consequence of a sugges- tion made by Archdeacon Allen as a kind of ex post facto defence of Dr Thirwall, and condemnatory of Mr Falconer. Mr J. R. Bishop designates Mr Allen's in- tention as our absurdity eulogizes, unconditionally, the course pursued by Mr Falconer; censures Dr Thirlwall's composition and is inclignant at the part which Mr Morgan enacted. Mr Bishop not only declares the views which he entertains on the whole question but assumes, very unhesitatingly, that what he thinks of the matter is thought by everybody. I, for one, after a careful perusal of the correspondence, believe that very little difference of opinion could exist on the merits of the case in the public mind. It was perfectly clear that Mr Price had acted in the transaction in an unbusinesslike manner he had forgotten the trade maxim, which enjoins the necessity of considering every man a rogue until he is discovered to be an honest man. Doubtless, Mr Price will think the appli- cation of that apophthegm, in all future dealings with persons, including his fellow parsons, a safer and plessantcr course, than any which may involve the neeîty of his having to supplicate the assistance of other people who have no assistance to render. Of this Mr Price must be well assured by this time, & surely this ought, to have bcJJl a suflbieut impediment to re strain the County Court Judge, within the limits of his functions. But Mr Falconer has a slight tendency of leaving the law when he has a chance, and exhibiting himself, no doubt with excellent intentions, as an rbiter morum. He will, when he can, finish off his judgments with a tinge of the extra judicial." I believe had he not fallen into this, his favourite fail- ing. at Brecon, he would not have been honoured with any communication from the Bishop of St. David's. Mr Falconer very valiantly, but most unnecessarily, made an attack upon the Bishop's episcopal efficiency. It is true that the Bishop, as he was in duty bound, made what suggestion he could, not in defence, but as a possible extenuation in the case as then known of the conduct of Mr Morgan, and in explanation of the law, as it stood, with regard to his own authority but his quarrel with Mr Falconer was solely in consequence of the very unnecessary, and, as it seemed to me, spiteful, extra-judicial remarks made by the judge, derogatory to the character of so distinguished a prelate. With respect to the terms in which the Bishop was pleased to couch his replies to Mr Falconer, and which Mr J. R: Bishop characterizes as "sarcastic and bitter," I will venture to say that we little men should recollect that Gulliver, however tenderly he was desirous of handling and dandling the Lilliputians, could not but hurt them somewhere, dislocating their joints and breaking their bones, without the least intention in the world of doing so. Mr J. K. Hisnop may depend upon it that if the ° majority of the reading public in the diocess of St. David's do not in their hearts commend the course pursued by the Bishop in this business, the intelligent minority do so to a man. With respect to the view taken of Mr Morgan's conduct, there is no doubt that all agree with Mr J. R. Bishop, and there- fore all must r"ret the shortcoming of the law in arming diocesans with sufficient power to compel Mr Morgan, et hoc genus omnc, to act fairly. I cannot help thinking that Mr J. R. Bishop, if he re-peruse the correspondence. will be disposed to think more favourably of Dr Thirlwall's conduct, and less admir- ingly of the part played by Mr Falconer. As to the course proposed by Mr Allen, I beg to say that in my humble opinion it will be altogether a work of supererogation—the Bishop is blameless. I I am, sir, Your obedient servant, I October 9tli, 1865. LAICUS.

I THE SALMON. I j TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN." SfR "%TallY Of your readers give a good deal of at- tention to fly-fishing and the natural history of the salmon, and it is possible that they may be able to answer through the WELSHMAN, for our common infor- mation, some inquiries made by Sir Charles Taylor, in the Fo}"t¡¡ig/¡,ty RClJlW, in an article on "Fishing in Norway." Sir Charles, who has been fishing for thirty years, asks-" 'Where does the salmon go when he is in the se, i you may catch him in salt. water as he is going up to the rivers. But where docs he spend the rest of his time during the six months or so he passes in the ocean ? Was one ever caught out in the far ocean ? Wrhat does he take a fly for ? A trout fly is an imitation but a salmon fly is like nothing in heaven or earth. Moreover, as far as I know, salmon do not cat real flies. In fact, it is hard to say what salmon do eat in fresh water. When you catch them their stomachs are always empty. Surely a large Namsen fly, all silver twist and golden pheasant feathers, is like nothing a salmon can ever have seen. Besides, a liotliin, will take a boiled prawn surely he never can have seen that before. And thirdly, I want to know why the more a river has been fished the shier the fish are. Yon will find this to be the case not only towards the end of the season, but will also experience the same thing the next year when first you bein. Do the few fish who are hooked and get off tell their friends and neighbours that a salmon fly is not the most desirable thing to put into their mouths ?" I hope some of your readers will reply to one or all of these queries, I remain, yours truly. Pembroke, 9th October. IZAAK.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. I TATTERSALL'S, SA,RITRDAY. -Another of those super- fluous performances called a "comparing clay" was enacted this afternoon in presence of as meagre an attendance as it has ever been our lot to witness. The ostensible business of the day could have been easily got through on the previous Thursday, since which no transactions took place requiring a special day for the auditing of accounts. Speculation was confined almost entirely to the three favourites and Gomera, the latter, on the strength of an apparently well-founded report, having proved himself the best of John Day's lot in the morning. Salpinctes was in renewed demand at half a point less than that at, which he left off on the previous evening, but, although those odds were laid to some money, layers were not a bit disposed to dry up at the price. 7 to 1 was taken and offered about Ala- bama, and the owner of Ostregor backed his horse for about Y,150 at 11 to 1. When Gomera's name was mentioned at the Victoria Club on Friday the bare idea of his having a chance was pooh-poohed at 1,000 to 10, but on Saturday forenoon he was in rather better favour, for after all the lists on the Farringdon favour, and other betting retreats had been taken," his reintroduction at the club was at 25 to 1, booked to a "tenner," and subsequently 20 to 1 was accepted kindly to money. At Albert-gate his opening price was the same, but the investments made failed to bring him a better favourite. The only other feature worth noting was the restoration of the erst favourite, Morris Dancer, to 20 to 1 (offered), 25 to 1 having been taken to small amounts Custard Castle was hardly so steady for the Cambridgeshire, but at 100 to G The Duke was entrusted with a few outlays here and here. Forty ponies" were booked about Gontran, and 1,000 to 50 was once noted in favour of Moldavia who, it was said, was likely to see a shorter price. We had almost forgot- ten to say that after 1,000 to 30 was laid against Salpinctes, 25 to 1 was accepted to 120. NEWMARKET RACES, MONDAY. I "Nemo" writes this afternoon as follows No- thing was ever more gladly welcomed than the nice refreshing rain of this morning, which made the Heath so much better in all respects, that those who had backed a few Cesarewitch outsiders were naturally delighted to find the ground really good going, especi- ally the supporters of Privateer, John Davis, and a few others, who dislike to hear their feet, rattle, which was apparent enough both in the town and on the Heath. Both on the top and on the Bury side there was a good attendance this morning to see the concluding gallops of the Cesarewitch candidates, and by the Lime Kilrs nothing went better than Zephyr, who evidently now carries the confidence of Baron Rothschild's stable. Salpinctes went the course this morning and pleased everybody by his style of going, pulling up quite fresh, and apparently enjoyed the gallop after his walk from Cambridge on the previous day. John Day had a strong team out, with The Duke looking better than ever. Lansdown was far from being in favour, but John Davis was quite the rage of the stable, proved still more by another reaction in his favour in the middle of the afternoon, and a decided opposition against the two threc-year-olds. Solon reached here from Holywell, where he has been finishing his edu- cation under the care of William Scott, and having made such a complete farce of more than one, the Irish representative compels me to slightly retract a few words in my notes of this day that he was not so much to be feared. Both Salpinctes and Solon gave the greatest satisfaction and so far as regards their con- dition and the intentions of each party, the favourite and the outsider are sure to play conspicuous parts in the final tussle up the ropes. As usual there arc an endless number of good things" put about for not content with knowing that John Day's lot were fairly settled by the top weight, it is credibly given out that Privateer was permitted to gallop with Alabama that Solon acquitted himself at Holywell so well that he cannot fail to be in the first three that Zephyr did a talc unfold early on Thurs- day morning, in the presence of a select few, with Breeze, llippolyta, and the borrowed Fantail and that Ostregor and Salpinctes so completely dumb- foundered their partisans that a second trial in each case was demanded, which proved still more satisfac- tory. Thus then is the Cesarewitch looked forward to with still greater interest but as I began so I must finish, with John Davis, Privateer, Salpinctes, and Morris Dancer, and now that Breeze has evidently retired in favour of Zephyr-who I know, without trusting to rumour, has accomplished a good thing with Covey up, and that Solon also satisfied his party- there seems to me little danger from any other quarter. True at the time of writing Treen's horse is not so firm as I should like, which induces me (as I thought so much of Breeze) to give the preference in my final speech to the Baron's stable, thus leaving me with Salpinctes and Zephyr, who it strikes me, by the money and public form, arc just entitled to the pre- ference over John Davis and Privateer, decidedly the two best four-year olds likely to go to the post. So far as regards the day's sport, it was moderate to what might have been anticipated, and the different, items afforded anything but close contests. Hyppoh ta won the Cesarewitch Trial, but from such an indiffe- rent field that Zephyr's position was but little im- proved. Camball, for being defeated in six of his seven engagements this year, like most of the Baron's horses was punished too severely, not only with Kil- kenny in the Handicap Sweepstakes, but also in the Handicap for twos and threes over the T.Y.C., having no less than 9gst. to carry. Even the first engagement was asking the colt more than ought reasonably to be anticipated, bearing in mind how Kilkenny performed at Doncaster although generally speaking the blue and yellow" representatives are invariably so remem- bered" at head-quarters, that any allusion on my part is quite unnecessary. Altogether the day's sport was meagre in the extreme, both as regards speculation, fields, and racing but in reality favour is extended so far, that when I state only three contested the Free Handicap out of upwards of one hundred handicaped, my readers may judge how matters are carried out at head-quarters, and more especially in the made-up" handicaps closing the night previous to the race. Just closing these notes Salpinctes, Alabama, John Davis, and Privateer are each firm, but there is evi- dently something behind the cloud which may become more conspicuous later in the evening although should I not resort to the wires" my readers may conclude I shall once more sink or swim" with the Littleton and the Baron's representatives. Though the racing commenced in fine weather, several smart showers fell during the afternoon. The contests were decidedly tame, and with the exception of Hippolyta's triumph in the Handicap over the Cesarewich course, which had the effect of giving a fillip to her stable companion, Zephyr, who for the big race of the morrow was in increased demand, there \v,?-, nothing transpired worthy of a Second October Meeting. Breadalbane in the Free Handicap gave another taste of his superiority by conceding Illb. to a tried public horse like Sydmonton, beating him and four others without ever being fairly extended, HANDICAP PLATE of 50 sovs., for three-year-olds and upwards Cesarewitch Course, 2 miles 2 furlongs 28 yards.
