7 with Ghuznee, she immediately took the place of first favourite at to 4; what little betting there was about the others closed at 4 to 1 agst. Lampoon, 8 to 1 agst. The Mystery f., 9 to 1 agst. Protection, 9 to 1 agst. Potentia, 20 to 1 agst. Sir G. Heathcote's two, 25 to 1 agst. Concordia, 25 to 1 agst. Snowdrop, 25 to 1 agst. Una, and 30 to 1 agst. Miss Stilton.

The horses got away at the first start in excellent order, Lampoon taking the lead at a moderate pace till they reached Tattenham Corner, where the pace mended, and the tailing commenced. Lampoon's lead lasted to the road, where she resigned, and Ghuznee immediately took up the running. At the distance, Miss Stilton challenged, and made a bit of a race of it to the Stand, but Ghuznee shook her off, and won cleverly by a length. The Mystery filly was third, Sequidilla fourth, Protection fifth, and Ermengardis sixth. Value of the stakes, £3250.

The Member's Plate of Fifty sovs., was won by Colchicum in two heats, beating Isabella and two others; and the Derby and Oaks Plate of Fifty sovs., won in three heats by Mr. Wright's Folly, beating Hellespont (who ran a dead heat with her in the second heat), and seven others, closed the pleasantest, if not the most brilliant meeting, it has ever been our lot to see on Epsom Downs.

REVIEWS OF NEW PUBLICATIONS.

"A MEMOIR ON THE NATURALIZATION OF THE ALPACA, by William Walton. Printed for the Natural History Society of Liverpool.

The usefulness of such associations as the Natural History Society of Liverpool, is amply shown in this publication, put forth in the hope that the object which it recommends, the introduction of a new species of wool-growing sheep, will by this means obtain, at least, a fair trial. We recommend a perusal of these pages to all those of our readers who take any interest in stock.
