"Our Van."
Some Past Raolng.— How long
ago is it since the Van Driver
sang *Buy Medroxyprogesterone Online was
that people did not respond to his
invitation. True, Saltburn was a
very quiet place, and is so still.
Dull, the young people called it,
and we cannot deny the accusa-
tion. But Saltburn had capa-
bilities, and if they had been made
use of and worked in the right
way it would not be the dull,
sleepy place it is now. Nature
had made it beautiful, and the
only thing required was man to
assist in its development. And
man was ready. The early pro-
prietors of Saltburn must have
been men of taste, for they found
a glen ready made to their hands,
which they converted into a
charming and most unique gar-
den. The two sides of the glen
are now united by a bridge, the
gift of Mr. Wharton, of Skelton
Castle, once the hearthstone of
the Bruces, or to give them their
Norman origin, Brus. Whether
the great Darlington firm of the
Peases was opposed to frivolity, or
whether Mr. Pease thought that
with the gardens he had done
enough, and did not attempt to stem
the tide of dulness which set in as
soon as Saltburn-by-the-Sea was
added to the list of watering places
on the Yorkshire coast, within the
last few years, and perhaps owing
to the V.D. saying so much about
it within the ** green covers," it
dawned upon racing men of Purchase Medroxyprogesterone Online all
classes and degrees that it would
not be a bad resting-place for
Redcar (then entering into a new
existence under the fostering care
of Lord Londonderry. Lord Zet-
land, Mr. James Lowther, Mr.
Robert Vyner, and other northern
sportsmen) and Stockton, the
latter a wonderfully improved
meeting under the excellent admin-
istration of Mr. Hornby, backed
up by the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Londonderry, near
neighbours of Stockton, Mr.
James Lowther, and others.
Lord Londonderry and Mr. Low-
ther are ,the two hosts of Stock-
ton and Redcar, from whose
hospitable boards no one turns
empty away. But it is sad to
think that the natural beauties
of Saltburn did not attract, and
that racing did. However, it is
an ill wind that does not do some
good, so racing men cling to Salt-
burn. We hear that the Zetland
hotel passes into the hands of
the railway company with the
close of the year, and that
Mr. Verini will not be there
next year. Well, we shall much
miss our landlord, for we have
always found him most courteous
and obliging, and consider that
the railway company will have a
difficulty in replacing him.
Bedoar Races. — The course
naturally suffered from the hard
ground and, though we had rain
on the second day, the mis-
chief had been done, and the rain
was too late as a remedy. In
other respects the sport was ex-
cellent, and the company on the
Stewards' Stand comprised the
elite of Yorkshire and Durham,
not to mention a strong London
contingent, among which was the
V.D., who has never failed Salt-
burn for the last twenty years.
There was a good arrival list, and
only the Jenny Howlet colt was

9 St. 8 lb. got well away, and,
after going about a quarter of a
mile, went to the front, and, with
a clear lead, won in a hand canter

came all the way from Berkshire,
won the Redcar Handicap, Son-

does ; and we looked in vain for
Mr. Tidy to congratulate him on
his journey to the north, but we
could not find him, and York-
mint's win in the Kirklatham
i^iennial seemed to give him a
chance in the big three-year-old
race on the morrow. But those
in the know were aware that
Silver Fox was short of work,
and, moreover, had not emptied
his manger since he had been
here. He had to give 20 lbs. to
Unseen, therefore, though he only
won by a short head, it was a fine
performance considering the con-
