TRAINING NOTES.
There was again. a large attendance of spectators al the Race-course on Wednesday morning, and the proceedings were of a most Interesting character. Early in the morning the track was a bit holding and slow, a heavy dew having fallen overnight, but when the sun came out it rapidly absorbed the moisture and at the finish it was a very fast course, Mr. Buxey's Derby griffin Peacemaker was the first to canter, and the result of his trial places him out of court so far as this meeting a concerned. Peace. maker may have been a good pony once, but he won't do this journey.
Home Guard cantered by himself, but the pace was too slow for any definite opinion as to the pony's form being arrived at. Daphne, going alone, covered the last mile of a mile and a quarter gallop in 36, 1.13, 1.471, and 2 20, finish- ing in splendid style, and if this grand mover will only do his best with the colours up he will take a lot of beating. Ali Baba (late Thunderguts) went a mile in 343, 1.08, 1.42 and 2.141. going like a steam-engine at the finish, but I doubt whether this handsome racer can be depended on when it comes to actual warfare. His colour (Ali Baba is a red roan, a somewhat uncom mon colour for a Chinese race-pony) is not in his favor, and although he may in make and shape have the makings of a Champions' winner, I shall doubt his claim to be reckoned in the first
class until he has beaten something that can gallop.

BIMETALLISM IN ENGLAND. .
A certain section of the House of Commons is very anxious to introduce bimetallism as a subject for public discussion. They have sharpened their weapons in advance for Robert Giffen, the $4,600 000.00 leading exponent of monomentallism, and profess to be able to show that he does not understand the elementary conditions of the question.

But that is neither here nor there. The ques-. tion is that of a return to bimetalism in England, and indications are very strong that that change in not far distint. So long as the representa- tives of the well-to-do class, the creditor class, can control national legislation, monometallium will prevail; but as the great mass of the people, the producing class, come to realize the mening.. of the suffrage which has been conferred upon them there will be a radical "departure- from the methods which are now in vogue. The people of England are now supreme, but they have not yel learned the extent of their power or how to use it to the best advantage. At soon as they awake to a full consciousness of their power they will insist upon an equitable. leveling process, and one of the earliest steps will be the adoption of bimetallism.
India alone should be enough to turn the scale, A recent writer on money, himself a monometal. list, has shown that monometallism costs India, inexchange alone, fom $15,000,00010 $25,000,000 per year. If England expects to retain her supremacy in that vast country and to make it a source of profit to the British empire, she will have to stop this enormous drain upon it, and a recurrence to bimetallism is the only way to accomplish it.

This was in the days of thirty years ago, before any part of Australia was half civilized by the English, and before the island had been more than half surveyed.
