It was hardly to be wondered at, considering t'e great successes achieved by American-brel horses on the English turf last year, that when Reuter wired out three days ago that the American Gerald was standing first favorite at 4 to 1 for the Two Thousand Guineas, with the French-bred Executor second favorite at a shade longer odds, the probability of the first classic contest of the season falling to the friendly invaders from foreign shores was strongly The visitors were afte, wards entertained to believed in With Bruce, the Derby favorite, luncheon on board, when Mr. Pearce presided. and the flying fillies Kermesse and Geheimniss

If you build a ship to go faster, out of Execution --- the property of Count Lagrange, you must necessarily have a farger vessel and adrunnine times as a two year old, winning twice, the engines, and if the engines are bigger, they are necessarily heavier, and take up more but had beaten nothing with pretensions to high rout.

I am not going to say maximum speed that could be profitably employ that the foreigners are not to have everything what this ship will do, but I may say that she las their own way during the ensuing season, as has done what no other ocean-going ship in the world' been so confidently predicted.
has ever done. she has in six consecutive runs, with a cargo of 3,000 tons deadweight on board, made an average speed of about 181 knots per hour. Let me be precise, and say 18418 knots, or will pat it into miles, and say 21 5-10 English unites per hour. No other ocean- going steamer has yet done this. Those con nected with shipping know that the Admiralty have of late years surveyed certain ships which may be useful to them for transports or for cris ing purposes. The Stirling Castle complics with all the Admiralty requirements, and being on their list is supposed to be a distinction and thing to be aimed at by owners; but it happened that the last time this country had unfortunately to convey troops in time of war our Government, for some reason or other, selectcil sine of the oldest and slowest ships in our mercantile marine. However, it may be when we have another Go vernment, who are more alive to the interests of the county, ships of this type may in future be chosen for purposes of such great importance. J ask you now to drink success to the good ship Stirling Castle, coupled with the name of the managing owner, Mr. Thomas skinner.

Taken altogether Marlen has good make and shape to recommend him to consideration, but he has never won a race. His first appearance was in the Hurstbourne, at stockbridge, when he hadhe reputation of being able to gallop, and was bered accordingly in a field which also included Geheimniss, Whitechapel, st.

the 10 impression that his temper was none of the sweetest. In the fuly at Newmarket, how- he struggled as gamely as colt could, and if his number had gone up as the winner instead of that of Kermesse a lot of people would have evinced no surprise. It was capital form on his part to get where he did, and though Geheimniss confirmed the Stockbridge running by beating Marden easily in the Astley stakes al Lewes, it was in his favour that he had Isabel and Foxglove behind him.

Mr. MOORE begs to recommend his GOGO SHAMPOO WASH
tion ever produced for promoting the growth to the public as unrivalled by any prepara of the hair. The basis of this compound is made of soap root; the natives of the Philip pine Islands never use, arything else for washing their hair; they are never found bald, and it is quite common to see the females with hair fronto 6 feet long. By constantly using this shampoo Wash as directed, you will NEVER BE BALD.
The proprietor offers the Wash to the public entirely confident that by its restorative pro.. pertics it will without fail arrest decaying hair. It completely eradicates scurf, dandruff, and cures all diseases of the scalp. It does not contain any poisonous drugs. By its cooling propenies it allays the itching and fever of the scalp, which is the great cause of people losing their hair.
Mr. Moonz has succeeded in being able to put this wash up in bottles without allowing it to ferment, and he will guarantee it to keep any length of time in any climate.
