We leam that the Tactal has at the request the Consuls issued a proclamation on the 3rd Instant together with the Haikwan denying free access to all vessels coming from the Philippines. General sanitary regulations are now under con- sideration and will be shortly published by a
proclamation of the above Chinese Authorities.
We hear that the list for "Subscription Griffins" is filling up well and that seven subscribers, at least, will be found. Three races are to be set apart for the novices. We also hear that several new cups are likely to be presented at the forthcoming meeting, so that everything tends to a successful gathering in January.

The following polification was sent round by bury in 1872. Dutch Oven was bred by Lord the British Consul at this port:
Falmouth, and made her first appearance as n two year old in the July Stakes at New market won by Kermesse, the daughter of Dutch Skater running a dead heat for the third place with St. Marguerite,. Marden separating the three fillies. In receipt of a stone from Pursebearer Dutch Oven won the great Lancashire Yearling stakes; at Manchester, value £1497, by three quarters of a length; and followed this up with a brace of victories at Goodwood, beating Kermesse and St, Marguerite, who ran a dead heat, by a head, in the Richmond Stakes of 1172; and conceding one pound and finishing a length in front of Pursebearer, who was in turn half length before, St. Marguerite, in the Rous Memorial of £1723. It is necessary to state that Kermesse was conceding Dutch Oven 4lbs in the Richmond Stakes, and also that Cannon who rode Lord Rosebery's filly was. credited with losing the race by holding his op ponents too cheaply. However, by winning three races off the reel, Dulch Oven netted for Lord Falmouth, stakes amounting to L4392. A It was then proposed by Mr. Bruce and second-York, on August 24th, Nellie proved too good for ed by Mr. Cass that the British Consul and the ex-officio members of the Committee of Stewards, which was duly passed.
The undersigned has received information from the Colonial Secretary, Hongkong, that Kiungchow, Swatow, Amoy and Formosa have been declared to be no longer infected places, and that, consequently, vessels, arriving from these places will no longer be subjected to Qua rantine Regulations at Hongkong,
The Annual General Meeting of the Race Club was held fast evening, September 8th, and was attended by twenty one members, air. R. J. Forrest in the chair.
The notice calling the meeting was read and the minutes of the previous meeting were taken as read. The Chairman then called on the Secretary, to place the accounts before the meeting, and Mr. Dow in so doing explained, that the Balance sheet was not so favourable as that of the previous year. The season had been' started with a balance in hand of nearly $300, but owing to a slight falling off in subscriptions and entrance fees, and to heavy expenses on the Course due to damage from the floods last Au tumn, and to the necessity of providing a new Grand Stand, the whole of the funds had been exhausted. Mr. Cass seconded by Mr. Abbott then proposed, that the accounts as explained by the Secretary be passed. Carried nem, con,

The niceting then proceeded to elect Stewards and officers for the season and the ballot resulted as follow; Stewards: Messrs. R. H. Bruce (17 votes), A. W. Bain (16), J. McLeavy Brown (15), G.

Kermesse casily tumed the tables en Dutch Oven in the Champagne at Doncaster, winning in a canter by half a length, with Nellie and three others beaten off, but this was the last defent Lord Falmouth's filly sustained Mr. Bruce seconded by Mr. Layton proposed, as a two year old, as she won her next five races that a Race meeting be held on a date to be de- without suffering a reverse.

The cost would be about $150 for each pony landed in Amoy.
Thursday she cantered away from Red Spectre, Bay Archeress, and two others in a Triennial Produce Stakes of £647, and on the Friday had Mr. Bruce propose that if there are 7 Sub her revenge on Nellie in the Rous Memorial of scription Griffins a special Race should be set apart for them on each day of the meeting which 62, beating Mr. de Rothschild's daughter was seconded by Mr. Bain and carried. Mr. of Hermit and Hippia by a neck at even Muller made some suggestions as to the condi- weights.

The meeting then separated with a vote of Clearwell (887) at Newmarket, and a. very clever head victory over Manden-who was in receipt of 4lbs besides the sexual allowance- and three others, in the Dewhurst Plate of £1,557 brought a very successful campaign to an end. Dutch Oven retired into winter quarters a winner of nine races out oftwelve attempts, and of stakes amounting to £5.401. -

the owner of Geheimniss, the price paid on dit being £2,000 with certain contingencies, one of which we believe, was that Cannon was to ride the filly throughout her racing career. This proved a lucky purchase for his lordship as Geheimniss won six more valuable races right
off the reel as a two year old, retiring with
an unbeaten certificate, and now she has won the Oaks, and is a most probable winner of the St. Leger. Geheimniss first appeared in Lord Stamford's colours at Bath in the Thirtieth Biennial Stakes, value £188, which she won casily from Gaydene and six others. Her next public appearance was at the Bibury Club meet- ing on June 29th where she had a very easy task

At Lewes in August 5th, the racing public were treated to another sight of Rosicrucian's flying daughter in the Astley Stakes of £907; which she landed casily frem Marden and four others, odds of 15 to 8 being laid on her at the start. Sent north to York a fortnight after her Lewes victory, Lord Stamford's filly, with Archer in the saddle, scored her sixth successive win in the old fashioned Convivial Stakes of £440, odds. of 5 to 1 being laid on her, but it was a very near thing, Mr. R, Jardine's black colt Minar, by Pre- tender out of Minaret, running her to a short head. Geheimniss made her last appearance as
Meeting in the Cheveleý Stakes of £457, which two year old at the Newmarket Houghton she won in a canter from Vista and Haverhill, with odds of 100.to 12 laid on her."
Geheimiss made her three year old dibat in | the Oaks, and as her stable companion Shotover, winner of the Derby, was scratched for this event, owing to having been tried inferior to Lord Stam- 'ford's filly, she started a very hot favorite, and won in a canter by two lengths from the Onc Thousand Guineas winner, St. Marguerite, with Nellie a bad third. The Oaks winner was pulled out for the Fernbill Stakes at Ascot, and long odds were laid on her against the field; however, she could never fairly get on terms with Narcissa, a two year old of Lord Rosebery's
that started at 20 to 1 In a field of five runners, and sustained her first defeat by a short head. As the distance of the Fernbill Stakes was only five furlongs, the defeat of Geheininess made no impression on her market status for the St. Leger, and it is probable: that she started to meet her second reverse a very hot favorite.
⚫ Shotover, was bred by Mr. Chaplin at Blankney Hall, Lincolnshire, and was pur chased as a yearling by Robert Peck, for the Duke of Westminster, at a high figure-1400 guineas. As a two year okl, Shotover ran three times without winning, but opened her three year, old carcer by winning the Two Thousand Guineas in a common canter from Quicklime, Marden, and a large field; and then suffered a short heal defent, from St Marguerite in the One Thousand, with Nellie beaten only the same distance for second place. The slashing daugh ter of Hermit and Vaga next appeared at Epsom, where she won the Derby in hand, some style fram, Quickline, Sachem, Bruce, and others. Although entered for the Oaks, Shotover did not run, having been found inferior to her stable companion, Geheimniss, the ulli- mate winner. At Ascot, Shotover gave Battle field no less than 13lbs. iri the Ascot Derby, and
won by four lengths, with the rest of the field beaten off; and she was allowed to walk over for the Twenty-ninth Triennial Stakes on the last day of the meeting. The next appearance of the Duke of Westminister's filly would be at Don caster, where as already related, Dutch Oven, proved too much for both the winners of the Oaks and Derby,

The great uncertainty of horse racing has seldom been exemplified more plainly than by the result of the one hundred and seventh Doncaster St. Leger.

LETTER BOXES.
Many boxes of letters are received at the Post
Office not sealed, that is to say, the box is fastened with scaling wax, but there is no impression of a seal.

SPANIES, COMMERCIAL HOUSES, and the sake of the Postage Stamps.
