Mr. Gun referred. Mr. Coxon to the owner of the pony, belag; in utter ignorance of what the official, whose duty. is supposed to be confined to starting the ponies, was alluding to.

THE late Mr. Alexander, the eminent architect, was under cross examination at Maidstone by Serjeant (afterward Baron) Garrow, who wished to detract from the weight of his testimony, and after asking him what was his name proceeded: not a builder; I am an architect." They are much the same, I suppose?" "I beg your pardon, sir; I cannot admit that; 1 coraider them po be totally different." "O, indeed I perhaps you will state wherein this great difference exists?" "An architect, sir," replied Mr. Alexander, "con- ceives the design, prepares the plan, draws out the specifications-in shart, supplies the mind; 'the builder is merely the bricklayer or carpenter. The builder, in fact, is the machine; the architect the power that puts the machine together and sets it going," "O, very well, Mr. Architect, that will do. And now, after your ingenious tile tinction without a difference, perhaps you can inform the Court who was the architect of the Tower of Babel?" The reply, for promptness and wit, is not to be rivaled in the whole blatory of rejoinder: "There was no architect, sir, and
hence the confusion."
The first saddling bell was rung at 1.30, but it was considerably past two o'clock when four competitors of an entry of eight went out for the first event, a steeplechase for all ponies, dis. tance twice round the course. Chatterbox, ridden by Mr. Nickels, opened a hot favorite, a rumour that he had been tried a good pony across country in Shanghai causing him to be backed at evens against the field when the numbers went up. A good deal of money was forthcoming for Captain Lindsay's Dalhousie, owner up, and Chillie Callum, with Mr. Guninthe saddle, had also afew admirers. Mr. Reynell had the mount on Cobaut, but this pony's erratic behaviour inthe Derby and Garrison Cup stalled off the usual supporters of Mr. Kerfoot's popular colours. After the ponies got to the post, Chatterbox suddenly became a much worse favorite, six to four, and eventually big griffin, whilst Dalhousie became in request at a slight shade of odds against the field. The lot were despatched to a wretched start, Cobnut immediately taking the lead from Ghillie Callum and Chatterbox, Dalhousie lying off. The leader swerved slightly at the first obstacle, but Mr. Reynell got him over safely, the other three clearing it in beautiful style, Nearing the water Cobnut showed signs of cutting it, but, hard ridden, he managed to get over, and then bolted off the course, taking no further prominent part in the race. Chatterbox, Dalhousie and Ghillie Callum raced together to the brook and landed on almost equal terms; but the two first named im mediately shot ahead and charged the next two obstacles in close company. At the wall opposite the Black Rock, Chatterbox led Dalhousie about a length and a half, Mr. Gun lying off within easy. bail. These positions were maintained until

Mr. Fraser-Smith-Speak for yourself, please. There is not a man in this room who supports your opinion. This is not the first time since the beginning of the meeting that you have made yourself offensive; but if you associate my name with anything that is disgraceful you tell a lie.

The former gentleman on being asked to ex- plain what he meant by telling the rider of Scotch Reel that he was starting under protest and would not get the prize if he came in first, used several most objectionable expressions, and pushed or struck Mr. Grandt on the chest. An animated controversy ensued, and it looked as if violence might be resorted to, when Mr.. Fraser Smith took Mr. Brandt away..
The final tableaur occurred when Mr. Fraser- Smith was removing the Ambassador Cup. Meeting Mr. Tripp in the paddock he informed that official that he had taken possession of the Cup, and would hold himself responsible for it to the Stewards, Mr. Tripp remarked that he had asked him, (Mn Fraser-Smith) not to take the up to which the latter replied that as the Clerk of the Course had refused to give him any information, respecting the so-called
