ANOTHER celebrated English race horse has gone over to the majority. Cremorne, the famous, son of Parmesan and Rigolboche, died at the Rufford Abbey Paddocks in the begining of January at the early age of thirteen. As a two- year-old he won nine out of eleven races. As a la the race for the Two Thousand Guineas, but three-year-old he was beaten by Prince Charlie

he won the Derby (1872), the Grand Prix, and several smaller races. As a four-year-old hell won the Gold Cup and the Alexandra Plate at Ascot, but broke down in the Goodwood Cup, and was immediately withdrawn from the Turf As a stud horse he has not been very successful, though on one occasion he was considered worth 5,400 guineas:

It should be remembered that fatigué is the starting point of chill-taking, and that this, in its tura, is followed by slight fabrite disturbances, loss of sleep, and a weatiness that sometimes amounts to pain. The nature of Mr. Gladstone's present indisposition is clear enough; and al- portance, it would be more so to ignore the though it would be wrong to exaggerate its im-

Mr. Gladstone has been suffering from the lassitude that follows a cold, from sleeplessness, and other indi- cations, of slight nervous exhaustion. sleeplessnes is the more noticeable as, contraty to what one might expect, Mr. Gladstone is 2 good sleeper. There is every reason to believe that with the rest so properly imposed by Dr Andrew Clark this characteristic will return, and deep debt of gratitude to Dr. Clark if he will use the lassitude disappear. The public will owe a his authority somewhat despotically. Mr. Glad stone is not to be restrained easily. He has been known before now to go to the House of Commons after the initiatory rigour of a pneumonia, and with a pyrexial temperature to leave his bed for a Cabinet inecting. These are excesses to be pardoned in a man moved by great forces, within and without; but they call for the exercise of medical authority, and this, to Mr. Gladstone's credit, he has bowed to before with great national advantage and will do so again.
