MR ISITI'S INSINUATIONS.

l ' TO THE EDITOR OF THE PBES3. i. Sir,—ln Mr leitt's defence of his news,f paper's gross and vulgar parody of the r Church Service, which you publish in thia ,9 morning's Peess, he refers to "an alliance ib between the Church and turf as instanced ,s by the presentation to a retiring Bnglieh . Vicar of a costly gift from the owners and t\ trainers of racehorses, &o." , c The " alliance" in question, to use Mt r Isitb's expression, simply meant that the .. owners and trainers referred to were deeply l 8 grateful to ihe late Vicar for hie woik h among their stable boys, their other emr ployees and their families, it Possibly Mr Isitt does not consider the t, spiritual interests of a stable boy or of a " jockey worth troubling about, but I fancy o most of your readers will think differently, sr and will admire the devotion of the Vicai > r who, on a net income of £125 a year, mainit tamed a curate at his own expense, and did ; r such excellent work amongst those residing g on the Lambourne Downs. k t As I was for some yeais at) school in the y \ neighbourhood of Lambourne and know the d district, &c, I ask you to insert the above. • 8 —Yours, &c, q C.
