... PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND TISE COLOURED RACE. We have no wish to speak with tnneces- sary harshness of President Lincoln's policy towards the negro race.

... I LIVERPOOL. SATURDAY EVENrNG. The Chester meeting has proved anything but satisfactory to the general public. Mr. Tophain has been found fault with by the stewards of the meeting and by the press generally, but for what reason I am totally unable to find out. He fairly estimated Stradella's chance, and if he made a mistake with regard to Marigold it is no more than many a man has done before. ...

... LIVERPOOL. MONDAY EVENING. The July Stakes at Newmarket, to-morrow, will not only be the race of the day but of the week, and amongst so many good two-year-old8 it is moot difficult to pick.

Roberts was at Hythe in 1861, and has not since fired at long ranges until the present meeting. The following are the other leading ...
