ST. ASAPH. ELECTION OF PROCTOR. A Prootorate iu Convocation for the Diocese of St. Asaph having become vacant by the death of the Rev. R. W. Eyton, M.A., Thursday last was the day appoint- ed to elect a successor, in the Chapter-house of the Ca- thodral. Sixty-nine clergymen were present, amongst whom were the following :-Hev. W, Hicks Owen Arch- deacon Ffoulkes, Rev Canon Jones, Holywell, Rev. H, Morgan, Rhyl; Rev. T. Z. Davies, Rev. T. W.Edwards, Ehuddlan; Rev. E. J. Owen, Llaufair-dyffryn-clwyd Rev. L. Lewis,Denbigh Rev. T. Thomas, Llanrhaiadr Rev. Thomas Williams,St.George; Rev. J. R. Meredith, Abergele Rev. D. Roberta, Llaudyrnog Rev. Ro- berta, Ysgeifiog Rev. Thomas Brown, Bodfari; Rev. J. 0. Jones, Llingwyfan; itev, E. R. James, Prestatyn Rev. 1: T. Watts, Dyserth Rev. Eo L. Davies, Chirk Rev. J. Davies, Llanycil; Rev. J. Pughe, Llansannan Rev. D. M. Evans, Llanfairtalhaiarn, &c. Rev. W. Hicks Owen filled the office of Surrogate on behalf of the Vicar General. Rev. T. Wynne Edwards questioned the legality of the meeting. The Surrogate said he was of opinion the meeting was legally called, and if there was an) thing illegal concern- ing it, the proper course would be to object to the elec- tion after it was over in a proper Court, where it could be nullified. R. J. Sisson, Esq., registrar, then rea 1 the usual man- dates, authorising the election. lWv. T. W Edwards observed that the mandates fixed the meeting to take place between 10 anl 11 o clock and, iuasmuch as they had not met till after 12, the pro- ceedings were irregular. (Laughter.) The Surrogate wished to observe that they had met to elect a Proctor for the whole diocese. He understood here either had been or was an impression that each archdeaconry might elect a separate Proctor. That an erroneous idea they had not assembled to elect a Proctor for the Archdeaconry of St. Aeaph or that of Montgomery, but for the diocese of St. Asaph. So ruled the law. (Hear, hear.) Archdeacon Ffoulkes said-As he was one of the Cler- gy who had signed a memorial to obtain this election, he wished to give his reasons why he bad done so knowing that many of his brethren did not desire to have the election now. He also said that he was requested to re- present the Clergy of the Archdeaconry of Montgomery in this meeting. The mandates in all the dioceses were issued in precisely the same form and words, which em- powered the Clergy to elect according to due cus- tom but the customs of every diocese were not the same. The Surrogate declared that the Archdeacon was tra- velling out of the record of the meeting. The Archdeacon,however, continued to say that the mandate gave the option of electing a Proctor either for the archdeaconries or the diocese. When the archdea- conry of Montgomery was created, it was necessary that two proctors should be elected—one benefice for the archdeaconry of Montgomery, and one for the archdea- conry of St. Asapli. Still, it was perfectly true they were proctors for the whole diocese, and not for the archdeaconries separately. The rev. gentleman here spoke against the practice of candidates canvassing per- sonallv, s" as to virtually settle the election before the clergy assembled together to vote. A t the two Univer- aitiss it never entered the head of any candidate to pro- pose himself, and it would be considered wrong if lie were to do so. He felt the evil of this practice on the present occasion. Three persons in the diocese bad asked him to support them they were his personal friends, and he felt it he promised to vote for one, he would af- front the other two. He trusted in future that personal canvassing would be avoided, and thus .save the diocese from any unpleasantness in connection with the election of a proctor. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the clergy of his own archdeaconry, he might say that they did not wish to put forward any clergyman for a personal contest, but he should like to ask whether the meeting would be willing to put this question first to the vote, v;Zii Whether the proctor shall be a clergyman from the archdeaconry of Montgomery or of St. Asaph ? Rev. Mr. Roberts, Ysceitiog—Certainly not; we are here to elect a proctor. Propose your candidate. (Hear, hear.) The Surrogate—Archdeacon Ffoulkes, I must again say yon are out of order. If you wish to propose a can- didate, you have full liberty so to do but I cannot hear allythillg more said about old customs or dividing the appointment of proctor between clergy of different dis- f fil ear. hear.) Archdeacon Ffoulkes—Then I have nothing further to say on the subject. Rev. Mr. Roberts, Ysceifiog, said—Mr. Surrogate and Brethren—We are here for the purpose of electing a proctor to represent the diocese of t-t.Asaph in the Lower House of Convocation. It has been very pithily and somewhat sarcastically said by the present Lord Chan- I cellor-" Convocations can do no good, and we take care they do no harm." Believing, therefore, in the force of that observation, I do not feel over-burdened with the duty I have now in hand. Perhaps you will ask me,- Then, why do you appear in the meeting at all ? The question is a natural one, and I will endeavour to give it a fair reply. I have had the acquaintance of the Rev. David Williams, liector of Naunerch, and honorary Ca- non of St. Asaph, for thirty years. Sometime ago he intimated to me his desire to represent tne clergy ot ttie diocese of St. Asaph in Convocation I said I should have much pleasure in supporting him if he ever be- came a candidate. I ptesume that it was old acquaint- ance that prompted him to make that intimation to me. However, I am not going to stultify myself, or ask you to elect Mr. Williams as your proctor simply because an old friendship has existed between us both; far from it. I beg to propose his election in consideration of the fact that he is in every way calculated and suited to represent the diocese in Convocation. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Williams is a clergyman of thirty years' standing in this diocese, and it is unnecessary for me to dilate upon his opinions —they must be well known to you all; he does not hold any extreme views, having as great a fear of Rome as he has of Geneva. (A laugh ) He is a man of sound judgment and untiring zeal; he mixes with the clergy in different parts of the country, and so learns their opinions upon any steps that may arise to interest the Church he is a man, also, who, if you elect him, can give not only a silent vote in the House of Convocation, but likewise his opinions, and give them well, too, for that vote. (Hear, hear.) I have said Mr. Williams is a man of untiring industry and energy; I need only ap- peal to you, in corroboration of that assertion, to look at the reports of our great Church Society—ita present flourishing state is mainly attributable to his exertions. (Hear, hear.) I think what he has done in that branch of the ministry--missionary work-entitles him to the honour or compliment of being elected proctor this day. (Hear, hear.; The rev. gentleman, in conclusion, vin- dicated the conduct of Mr. Williams in canvassing, and if there was any blame, it should be laid upon him, for he had urzed Mr. Williams to canvass, seeing that others were doing the same thing. He did not see what difference there was between a man carrying on a personal canvass, and employing others to do it for him. (Hear, hear.) It was beside Archdeacon Foulkes's du. ties to canvass his clergy in fact, he had no constitu- tional right to interfere in the matter at all. Archdeacon Ffoulkes—I have merely acted as their mouthpiece, After some further remarks from Mr. Roberts, Ys- ceifiog, Mr. Williams, St. George, rose to second the nomina- tion of the Rev. D. Williams, and passed a high eulo- gium upon his abilities to undertake the duties of the appointment. The Surrogate enquired if there were any more candi- dates to be proposed, and receiving no reply, he called for a show of hands in favour of the election of the Rev. David Williams. A general response was given, and the worthy Rec- tor of Nannerch was declared to be unanimously elected. Rev. Mr. Watts essayed to speak on the observations made by Archdeacon Ffoulkes, but being out of order, the Surrogate sail he could not be heard. Rev. 1). Williams expressed deep gratitude for the honour shewn towards him. He also intimated that Archdeacon Ffoulkes, who had spoken of personal can- vassing as a great crime, had made statements which could not be sustained by evidence. Archdeacon Ffoulkes desired Mr. Williams to explain his mind more fully, in order to give him an opportunity of defending himself. The Surrogate, however, declined to hear any fur- ther observations on the subject, as the business of the meeting was over. BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The fortnightly meeting of the Guardians of St. Asaph Union was held on Thursday last. Present:—Captain Thomas, chairman, W. Brownlow Wynne, Esq., T. G. Dixon, Esq., W. Phillips, Esq., Rev. J. Pughe, Rev. T. B. Davies, Messrs. Wm. Parry, Wm. Morris, E Powell Jones, Robert Jones, Thomas Pierce, Hugh Parry, John Edwards, B. Littler, David Parry, Edward Roberts, John Roberts, Richard Jones, &c. Itelief.—The relieving officer's books were read, and duly considered. It was reported that some of the parties applying for relief were receiving weekly sums from certain Friendly Societies, and a discussion arose as to whether they should be as liberally treated as those who had been improvident. Mr. Wm. Parry contended that persons who by their industry and economical habits had subscribed to benefit clubs to meet a misfortune ought to be more liberally dealt with than those who had squandered their earnings and spent a worthless life. Mr. Brownlow Wynne held a different view, and said that the guardians were bound to meet all cases of desti- tution alike, without distinction. It would look very i bad for one pauper to receive more than another, who was in similar circumstances. The Chairman also observed it was the duty of the Board to consider the cases of the destitute and unpro- vided poor without favour or distinction. When a fami- ly was said to be destitute, there was no place for argu- ment against granting relief. (Hear, hear). Medical Jlelief.—The following letter was read by the Chairman:- To the Chairman and Guardians of the St. A saph Union. Gentlemen,—We, the undersigned medical officers of the St. Asapli Union, acknowledge the receipt of a letter from your Board, respecting the supply of quinine and Cod Liver oil to our patients for the last six months. In reply we beg very respectfully to submit the following particulars iu order to assist the Board to arrive at a right conclusion on the question involved, as they are purely medical, and are with difficulty understood ex- cepting by medical men. We think it right to premise our remarks by stating that the recommendation of the select committee on Poor Law, medical relief was made for the benefit of the poor, as the said committee felt (though they have come very slowly to that conviction), that owing to the expensive nature of many medicines, the Poor Law medical officers could not possibly afford to supply them out of the very low salaries now paid to them, without their appointments becoming the sources of actual loss, instead of remuneration. "The poor have, consequently, been most inadequately supplied with expensive mediciues. With regard to the quantity of quinine given to our patients, during the last half year, we are compelled to admit that it is impossible to arrive at anything like a proper conclusion, as quinine is never given alone or uncombined. Dr. Edwin Jones, the medical officer for Rhyl, has, however stated to us that he has 'expended 217 in quinine alone during last year, and 215 the year previous, We beg to impress this fact upon the OURT- dians, as Dr Jones' distrid. is neither the most populous nor the largest in the Unn. Cod Liver Oil we must honestly oonfess we have never given or supplied in con- sequence of its costliness, ktit have in those cases which called for its use (and they lare many) tried to obtain it through the channels of prirate charity. We now beg to place before you, the following pro- posals :— "1 That an annual sum be granted to each medical officer for the supply of Cod Liver Oil, quinine, sarsapa- rilla, sodide of potasium, leeches, and other expensive medicines, with a remark to be attached to each fort- nightly report to such cases as have been supplied. 2. Or that these medicines be supplied by the medi- cal officers themselves, who may send in an account quarterly to the Guardians of the cost of the drugs in question which they may have dispensed to the pauper patients. This plan is the one recommended for adoption in the country unions by the Poor Law Board. 3. Or we should meet the present difficulty by com- muting the supply of expensive medicines by an increase of one third of our salaries. We have now concluded our remarks, and leave this subject in your hands, believing you will give it your at- tentive consideration. We have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient servants, K. DAVIES, M. 0. for Llanfair District. T. FBANOIS EDWARDS, M. 0. for Denbigh District. "LLEWELYN LODGE, M. 0. for St. Asaph District and Workhouse. May 10th, 1865. P.S.— We beg to add, that we shall be happy to meet a committee to facilitate the Board in deciding this im- portant matter, and would recommend that to Dr. rumour, of Denbigh, or any other gentleman who has been unconnected with Poor Law medical appointments be called upon to give evidence." Mr. Parry said he could not believe that Dr. Edwin Jones had spent £ 17 in one year for quinine. The Chairman thought the statement might not ap- ply to paupers alone. Dr. Edwin Jones had not signed the letter,—therefore, it was premature for the Board to conclude the statement was right. I Mr. Brownlow Wynne said the snhject reqttii-atl a serious consideration, and suggested that it should be fully entered into at the next Board. He also remarked that under the present system the poor did not always receive pure medicines cod liver oil was often greatly adulterated, and much care was required to procure a genuine kind. Wine was also adulterated, and buying it in small quantities at petty shops and vaults was no- thing better than waste of money. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Phillips suggested that cod liver oil, quinine, wine, &c., should be stored in the Workhouse, to ensure ge- nuine qualities. The matter, however, was deferred for further dis- cussion at the next Board the Clerk being instructed to communicate in the meantime with Dr. Edwin Jones as to the absence of his signature in the letter and the correctness of the statement with reference to the quan- tity of quinine supplied during the past year. X372 10s. lOd. was expended in out-relief since the previous meeting, 46 vagrants were relieved in the Workhouse during the same period. The Master reported that there were 71 paupers in the Workhouse against 69 in the corresponding week of 1864.

REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN" TRADE DTOIXG THE PAST WEEK. Daring the past week some fruitful showers fell, which e where did much good, followed by a considerable quantity Sunday, which was much wanted for the spriugcom. Theearth having been warmed by the hot sun of April, almost instanta. neous effects are produced. We still hear of complaints how* ever, about the wheat, from light-land farmers, and there is a general holding back of samples as the consequence of unsatis, factory prices; and as America can no longer be relied on aa a source of supply, the Baltic markets are already anticipating upward movement in this country. Happjly, there is no appre- hension of war as respects the United States, and the since condolence of this country and Europe will go to assure otle transatlantic brethren that the fatherland harbours no ill-wiy to those who long ago achieved their independence indeed th present President seems well to understand his mission as on e of peace and goodwill. Wheat prices have further advanced lg per quarter, and there seems more and more disposition On th I part of growers not to throw away their chances of some rernlI neration on remaining stocks. In Paris the movement has be also upwards; and the country with the exception of the south. ern departments, answers to the capital by a slight aduance Belgium and Holland note little difference in prices; but at Hamburg they have still been advancing, and Danzig has been quite excited, rates from the lowest having gone up 4s per qr though some reaction has since been announced by telegram. 1h; interior of Germany has continued much the same. Montreal with light receipts, has found some demand for flour for the Federal States, at advancing ratei. the latent accounts thencs showing more firmness in treadititti. But we still wait to hear the relative position of North and South, with the wants of the latter, before we can make an estimate as to the prob.bilit whether we are to receive from or turnbh supplies to a Cf)unt "1 which for four years has endured the inaictMu of a civil war unprecedented magnitude.

I LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.—TCESDAV. I Our import list during the past week is an exceedingly smah one, excepting of French flour, which is in fair supply. The receipt" from Ireland are a trifle better, a few shipments thence being probably stimulated by the high value of oats, &c, h ere, The exports include some considerable shipments of wheat and flour to Portugal, and larger clearances of wheat and corn to Ireland. The weather is now all that could possiblv be desired for the country, and the upward movement in prices which we ha-l to report this day se mht has totally disappeared in the inrerval. sellers of wheat at last Friday s market being forced to make reduction of Id per cental toget on. Flor remains in statu J Indian corn finds few buyers, and the Irish demand being sup plied by the late arrivals off the coast prices are deeidedJy easier. Our stocks of all other articles are so iufht that they en. able holders to obtain very full rates. Mark Liuie yesterday had a steady demand for both English and foreign wheat, at last Monday's quotations We have had only a poor demand for wheat at to day's mar- ket. and prices are again the turn in buyers' favour, making the reduction since last Tuesday Id to 2a per cental. flour dull of sale and lather cheaper. Indian corn was offered freely at" decline of tid to 9d per quarter, and at the later reduction a few purchases were made for Ireland. Oats and oatmeal scarcely maintained the late advance; the same may also be said of beans, pea-e, and barley, although being scarce they cannot be ouoted actually lower, The market closes very inactive.

THE DUBLIN INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. On Tuesday last, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales opened the Dublin International Exhibition, in the presence of, it is said, not less than 10,000 specta. tors, including many of the elite of this and the sister kingdom. THE BUILDING. The Winter Palace, as the exhibition building is call- ed, has been erected on a space of ground formerly known as the Coburg-gardens, to the south of St. Ste- phen's Green. The edifice, with its ornamental grounds, occupies nearly 16 acres, and has Earlsfort-terrace on the east and Harcourt-street on the west. In fact, the In- ternational Exhibition is an accident. The structure was raised for a permanent purpose, and this gives it higher interest. Dublin is a musical city, but of late years the taste for the divine art has been rather declin- ing, from the want of adequate accommodation for great concerts. The complaint of the edifice called the An. tients' Concert Hall has been general. There were equally bitter complaints of the want of a' covered area in which flower shows could be held—of the want of an apartment suitable for amateur theatricals, which Dub- lin affects—of the want of a polytechnic museum and halls for public assemblies. All these desiderata the Winter Palace Company undertook to provide, and their building, when the exhibition has been brought to a close, will absorb all the amusements of the city, and ac- commodate them all, and possibly become the type and model of a number of similar edifices to be erected in many large towns to promote the wholesome recreation of the people. Prom Earlsfort-terrace the front view of the' «xhibi- tion gives the impression that the building is much too small for its puri ose. The deception, however, arises from the erection, on a not very tasteful plan, of two temporary wings—one to contain machinery in motion, the other to be devoted to the important purpose of pro- viding refreshments for jaded visitors. If these -annexes were removed, the spectator would see on the right-hand side the noble and graceful proportions of the main transept, intended to form a sort of permanent exhibi- tion, and the abutting wing on the left side of the glass- roofed transept constituting the winter garden. The latter is 471 feet by 84 feet. The stone portion of the building presented to the eye from the front is not architecturally striking. It is of a composite order, and faults might easily be found with it. Entering the building by the main doors, the visitor finds himself in a central hall, rather narrow, but enli- vened by opening on an obviously, at first glance, gorge- ous crystal erection beyond. On each side of this hall the best statues are placed—chiefly Italian and Roman. From each side of this hall broad staircases spring, leading to a splendid gallery above, extending all round, where the principal paintings have ample room and verge. Here the foreign pictures are remarkably fine. Passing from this hall and gallery, which will be the main feature, the visitor enters the other art galleries, in which the English school of paintings appears. From the stone portion of the building, the visitor steps into the glass-roofed erection, and is at once startled by its extent, which he could not have imagined, and the bril- liancy of its contents. It should have been stated that to the left of the central hall or vestibule is the greater concert room, capable of holding 4000 persons, with its large organ and splendid accommodation for an orches- tra. This hall opens up on the crystal apse behind. In the centre of this most splendid avenue, the dais intended for the Prince and the royal and vice-regal party is raised. On either side of this dais the various "courts" appear. THE INAUGURATION. I His Royal Highness arrived at about half-past two o'clock, and was received at the principal entrance by the following noblemen and gentlemen The Lord Mayor, the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Leinster, the Earl of Meath, Lord Powerscourt, Lord Southwell, Mr. Sanders, the chairman of the executive committee, and Mr. B. L. Guinness. His Royal Highness, who was accompanied by the Duke of Cambridge, and attended by the Lord Lieutenant and Lady Wodehouse, Earl Spenser, and Sir Robert Peel, was conducted by the gentlemen named above to the dais which had been prepared for the occa- sion, and then a pause of a few minutes took place, dur- ing which his royal highness surveyed the splendid coup d'ceil before him, and bowed in acknowledgment of the cheers that thundered forth from all parts of the inte- rior. After the national anthem had been sung, the Duke of Leinster, accompanied only by Mr. Sanders, advanced to the foot of the dais, and read the following address ;— 0 TO HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS ALBERT EDWARD, I PRINCE OF WALES, EARL OF DUBLIN. May it please your Royal Highness.—For the distin- guished honour of your Royal Highness' presence here this day, we, the exhibition committee, desire to offer our humble thanks. It is difficult for us to give expres- sion to the feeling of joy and loyal satisfaction which till the hearts of all who throng these halls to witness the inauguration of the Dublin International Exhibition of 1865, by your Royal Highness, in the name of our be- loved Sovereign. In this mark of favour and approval we discern not alone the Queen's high appreciation of the interests of industry and art, but especially her Ma- jesty's gracious wish to promote the success of every en- terprise which tends to advance the welfare of the Irish people. The act which your Royal Highness is about to perform cannot fail to remind us of the enlightened encouragement which the illustrious and lamented Prince Consort°bestowed upon every work of usefulness, and especially upon undertakings like the present Interna- tional Exhibition, bringing together the various nations of the earth, and making each better acquainted with the wants and with the resources of the rest which di- rectly tend to stimulate industrial energy and increase commercial interchange, and binding all people together by the ties of mutual interest, they become in no small degree the auxiliaries of peace and progress. The fine arts now occupy a prominent place in international ex- hibitions, the display of the best "works of renowned ar- tists opens up new sources of pleasure and delight, and forms a most important agent in the education of the people. We trust that the exhibition at whose com- mencement your Royal Highness so graciously presides I may prove not unproductive of such beneficial results, and that it way justify the hopes of those who ill llout labour and in self-reliant enterprise recognise the true lources of national prosperity. We cannot conclude .vithout expressing heartfelt wishes for the health and happiness of your Royal Highness' illustrious consort, whom the Irish people earnestly desire to see amongst them. Whenever circumstances may permit her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, to visit our shores, which we trust will be at no distant period, we venture to promise such an enthusiastic welcome as will convey to her Majesty and to your Roval Highness the fuUest assurance of loyalty and devotion." To this address his Royal Highness returned the following reply :-UMy lords and gentlemen,—I thank you for your address. It is a source of sincere pleasure to me to discharge the duty which has been confided to me by her Majesty the Queen in thus inaugurating your exhibition. It is not less in accordance with my own feelings than with those of her Majesty to assist in every measure which is calculated for the happiness and welfare of the Irish people. The example of my lamen- ted and beloved parent will, I trust, be ever present to my mind as a stimulus to the encouragement of every work which is calculated to advance international pros- perity and to develope the resources of my country. The cultivation of the fine arts, in itself so powerful an 1 auxiliary in civilising and refining the human race, has been an important object in this exhibition, and, indeed, is known already to have produced most satisfactory results. Believe me to be very sensible of your kind wishes on behalf of the Princess of Wales. Her regiet at not being able to accompany me only equals my own, ■and you may rely on her anxiety to come among you and herself to ask the welcome which she is as sure to receive." An address was then presented by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, after which a procession was formed, at the head of which his Royal Highness made the tour of the building, receiving renewed evidence of loyal welcome as each new department was reached. His Royal Highness passed high encomiums on the sculpture, and stopped before several of the pictures in the gallery The Prince and his cortege having mane tne complete tour of the building, receiving the most enthusiastic plaudits everywhere from the vast assemblage, returned to the dais, which then, with the two Royal Princes, the Lord Lieutenant, the Irish court in full uniform, the numerous naval and military officers, and the various municipal bodies in their robes, presented a most bril- liant and animated appearance. Mr. Parkinson, the principal comptroller of the exhibition, presented his Royal Highness with the key of the building, which his Royal Highness graciously accepted, and then with due solemnity declared the exhibition to be opened. A rocket shot into the air, the artillery thundered in response from a hundred guns, and the inaugural cere- monial of the exhibition terminated.

Upwards of three quarters of an hour was wasted in futile attempts to get the horses away, and after the pa- tience of the spectators had become thoroughly exhaust- ed, the flag fell exactly at 13 minutes to 4 o'clock. The refractory animals were Farce, Lion, The Tartar, Mr. Barber's two, The Grinder, Lord Zetland, and Ceres. Farce, who was the principal offender in all the failures, was left a long way in the rear when the start (which was a good one) was effected. Lion, who had also been prominent, in the breaks-away, was first off, but before reaching the distance post he was headed by Helen and Macbeth, next to whom coane tha Grinder. Nearing the Stand, Lion gave way, and Macbeth went round the turn with a clear lead, followed by the Grinder, Helen third, Lion fourth, Lepreqhaun and The Tarter lying next, a wide interval separating these from Gratitude, Sovuaue, the Highflyer's d*m colt, ttw Matiasima flllv, who came on at the head of the ruck, in the middle of which were La Toucques and Ackworth. Oldiiiiii- ster apparently outpaced, tailed off. As they proceeded along the railway arches, 'I he Grinder challenged ac- beth, who gave place to the Danebury horse as they turned towards the Dee side of the course, Mr. lhr. ber's second string following. The Grinder close up, fol- lowed by Helen, Lion, The Tartar, Higliflyer's dam colt, Gratitude, and Lenrechaun, close behind whom were Ackworth and the MoMtissima filly, Ceres, Change and Oldminster a long way in the rear. The Grinder held a clear lead of Helen and the Highflyer's dam colt as they came past the stand the second time, when Lion was fourth, Macbeth fifth, followed by Leprechaun, Ackworth, La Toucques. and Buckfoot. After passing the Workhouse turn, Macbeth and The Grinder disap- peared from the front, and upon reaching the half-mile post Lion dropped back, Helen having a slight lead, the Highflyer's dam colt second, Leprechaun third, and La Toucques, passing Lion at the half-mile post, became fourth, Buckfoot fifth. From that point Helen and Mr. Bennett's horse ran stride. for stride; but at the distance post Helen was beaten, and Buckfoot, (who had rapidly been overhauling the leaders) took second place a length behind the leader. 200 yards from home, Buekfoot gradually gained on the Highflyer's dam colt, and as the latter seemed to "dwell" in the last dozen strides the excitement became intense, but Buckfoot failing to get up, was beaten a neck, Leprechaun heing defeated a length for second place; Helen was fourth two lengths from the Irish horse, and Wandering Min- strel was fifth, 50 yards off. Ackworth was sixth; La Toucques, Farce, and Soumise being next. The last lot were the Grinder, Gratitude, Victorious, Macbeth, Old- minster, Change, and Ceres, the latter pair trottiftg in with the crowd. The starter complained against J. Grimshaw, Ward, Tomlinson, Maidment and Cranshaw, for disobedience at the post, and they were summoned to appear before the stewards en Thursday. THE FLYING HANDICAP. Mr. R.
