lit [ GRATIS.] SUNDAY, MAY 17, 1863. [ GBATISJ ANGLING. TROUT FISHING IN IRELAND. TO THE EDITOE OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR: Every true brother of the angle must feel largely indebted to " Fin" for the varied and useful information afforded from time to time in the columns of your journal. " Norvagus'' also gives some useful hints for fishing in Norway, but neither " Fin" nor " Norvagus'' seems to be aware that there is within the boun- daries of the United Kingdom one of the best, if not the very best, trout- fishing district in Europe— a locality which, I am bound to believe, is hardly ever visited by either the angler or the tourist. In the wilds of Donegal, on the north- west coast of Ire- land, there is an immense tract of hill and heath, moss and moor- land, known in that part of the country as the Bosses. Amongst the hills and valleys of these wastes there are hundreds of lakes, ponds, and rivulets, all of which are abundantly stocked with splendid brown trout. Some of these lakes are of great extent; others, on the contrary, are exceedingly small, but contain plenty of fish notwithstanding. Confining myself to one or two of these ponds, I have often filled a large basket in the course of an after- noon with trout varying in weight from one to four pounds. The rivulets and brooks connect the lakes and ponds with each other and with the sea, and as in the spawning season the fish run into these little gravelly streams to deposit their ova, immense quan- tities are destroyed yearly by boys, who catch them in large bag nets. Should any of your readers who are now debating with them- selves where they shall go for a month's fishing decide on taking a trip to the Bosses, I would advise them to proceed via Fleet- wood to Belfast, thence by rail to Strabane and Stranorlor, from which latter place a car may be had to Dunglow, the market and only post town in the Rosses. The angler having arrived at Dun- glow, where, by the way, he can make himself pretty comfort- able for a trifle, he must consider himself centrally situated with regard to the best fishing grounds. Between Dunglow and Boshine Lodge, and about a mile and a half from the former place, there is a considerably large lake, the name of which I have forgotten, where the salmo ferox, or great lake trout, may be had by trolling with a sprat, small trout, or sand eel; in July and August they will take the artificial fly freely. Not far from this there are two small lakes, or rather ponds, one of which is re- markable for a very large breed of trout, and the other— about a hundred yards distant from it— for a very small description of fish. I have taken many fish from each of these waters, and could never succeed in taking a small one from the first or a large one from the second. It may be necessary here to observe that the only description of fish in the Rosses lakes are trout and eels. It would be impossible in the columns of a newspaper to describe the varieties of the different waters in this district, let it be suffi- cient to say— after mentioning one or two more— that almost all are excellent, and capable of affording both pleasure and profit. About four miles from Dunglow, across the moor, in an easterly direction, is Lough Anewar, a beautiful piece of water, at the head of the Gweedore River; like all the others it abounds in trout, and salmon in the season. As there are many points or tongues of land running into this lake, it will be necessary, where the party consists of several, to keep very far apart, as, where two or more are fishing on one tongue, they are liable to whip each Others eyes out, supposing them to te fishing back to back. 1 remember, about twenty years ago, fishing with the artificial fly on this very lake with a gentleman now in the Army Medical Department, when, neglecting the precaution of keeping at a safe throwing distance, I managed to get his tail fly in my left eyelid, and was involuntarily drawn backwards a few feet inconsequence, loudly complaining of the damage done to my " eye winker." The hook had to be stripped before it could be extracted. The only salmon streams in the Rosses are the G- weedore and Gweharru, forming respectively the north eastern and south western boundaries of the district, but sea trout abound in all the other rivers. In an estuary at the mouth of the Dunglow River, mullets of a large size are caught yearly in large numbers with stake nets, pitched after a peculiar fashion; and when the weather is un- favourable for trout fishing, capital sport may be had at. the mouth of this river— where the bed is exceedingly rocky— by " sniggling" for eels. To " sniggle" artistically, the operator must first procure a willow or hazel wand, about four feet in length, on the small end of which he should fix the barrel of a large swan or goose quill, cut at both ends so as to form a kind of hollow cylinder, the small end of the rod entering one of the ends of the quill. A large hook is then fastened on to a piece of strong, tough brass wire, which is again tied to about a yard and a half of strong whipcord ; the hook having been baited with an earth- worm or a piece of chicken gut, is placed with the point in the outer end of the quill, the cord drawn tautly along the wand, the baited end of which is then deftly introduced under any rock or large stone where master eel is supposed to be lurking, and if be is at home he is almost certain to seize and swallow the morsel thus temptingly offered. And then comes the tug of war to which Shis eelship has at last to give way. I am almost afraid to mention the immense size of the eels I have seen caught in this way. The bays and inlets on the coast swarm with fish of every descrip tion peculiar to our shores— cod, hake, mackerel, turbot, hallibut, coalfish, and lithe, the two last of which can be taken with a clumsily- dressed red and white fly at high water. Soles, plaice, and flounders can be easily taken at low water by spearing. It is believed that oyster fisheries might be established here with im- mense profit, a little capital and some energy and application alone being required. To the wild fowl shooter and the seal hunter this district also presents a first- rate field in the winter aeaso", one visit with either the rod or gun being almost certain to induce a second. There are many islands oft' the coast, some of wliieh would amply repay a visit. The principal are Rutland, Arranmore, Tory, and Innishbofin. We will suppose that the angler, after having heartily and suc- cessfully enjoyed a month or six weeks' fishing in the moorland loughs, and inhaled to his bodily benefit and satisfaction the invi- gorating and refreshing breezes that blow unpolluted from the bosom ofjthe broad Atlantic, wishes to return homewards. He can do so by proceeding in a southerly direction, visiting on his way the awful grandeur and terrible ruggedness of Glen Head, the aalmon leaps at Ballyshannon, and the beautiful shores of the lovely Lough Erne; or he may go by the northern shore, visiting M'Swines celebrated ocean gun at Hornhead, Lough 8willy, Fair Head, and the Giant's Causeway. By the first route he can em- bark for England at Belfast, by the second at Londonderry. The best flies for the Rosses lakes are— 1 Body of peacock's harl, hackle from the crest of the lapwing, wing from a starling's feather. 2. Body: Fur from a hare's ear, mixed with yellow worsted; hackle'from the red neck feather of a game cock; wing from the feather of a partridge's tail. A killing fly is also made— the body of dark hare's fur, black cock's hackle, wing from the feather of a starling's wing. For bait fishing: Earth worm or caddis. I agree with " Fin'' in stating my opinion that tails to artificial flies are decidedly objectionable. I shall feel happy in affording personally any additional infor- mation regarding this superb trout fishing locality to any gentle- men who may require it. I enclose my card, and remain yours, Henrietta- street, London, May 13, 1863. INNISCOO. P. S.— There are several saltwater lakes which I have never fished, but from what I have read of the salt lakes of Scotland, I have every reason to believe that they are worth a trial.

THE GRAND NATIONAL MEETING. A fortnight ago we alluded to the fixtures already made for the public meetings of the season, and noted the absence at that time of any published programme of the Grand National, which is to supplement the more than powerful attractions of the commemo- ration week at Oxford, which is to be honoured with the presence of the Prince and Princess of Wales. We are no longer, however, in doubt as to the precise programme of the great toxophilite gathering, which has, this year,[ enlisted among its patrons the Duke of Marlborough, the Earl of Abingdon, the Earl of Maccles- field, Lord Dillon, Lord Churchill, the President of St John's College, the Dean of Christ Church, the President of Magdalen, the High Sheriffs of Oxfordshire and Warwickshire, the members lor the county and the city, the Hon T. Stonor, Lieut- Col the Hon R. C. H. Spencer, the Hon and Rev F. Bertie, the Hon W. H. North, & c, & c. The total value of the prize list exceeds £ 420, ex- clusive of national medals presented to successful competitors; the Champion's Gold Medal, and the ladies' transferable silver bracer, and some Spanish yew bows and equipments of arrows, presented as prizes ( three for ladies and three for gentlemen), on the handicap day, the 3d of July, by Mr T. Aldred, of 126. Oxford- street. The ladies' prizes consist of the several sums of £ 25, £ 22, £ 19, £ 17, £ 15, and £ 13 for the six highest gross scores { awarded for value only) ; £ 6 each for the greatest number of golds, and for the best gold; £ 5 each for the greatest score at 60 yards, and also at 50 yards ; and the like sums for the greatest number of hits and the greatest number of golds, both at 60 yards and 50 yards, and £ 5 for the best gold at each of those distances. The local prizes for ladies are, for the first gross score £ 8, second £ 6, and best gold £ 5. It is announced that should the number of archeresses exceed 80, additional prizes on the gross scores will be presented. The prize list for gentlemen consists of awards of £ 25, £ 22, £ 19, £ 17, £ 15, £ 13, £ 11, £ 10, and £ 9 for the ten highest gross scores made during the two days' shooting. There are also prizes of £ 6 each for the greatest number of golds, and the best gold; £ 5 each for the greatest scores at 100, at 80, and at 60 yards; £ 5 also for the great- est number of hits made at each of those distances respectively: £ 5 each for the best golds at ditto, and the like sums, in separate prizes, for the greatest number of golds made at all three dis- tances. There are three local prizes for gentlemen, viz: £ 8 for the first gross score, £ 6 forthesecond ditto, and£ 5 for the best gold. All local prizes are intended for competition by archers bond fide resid- ing within twenty miles of the place of meeting, but they will not prevent a lady or gentleman from taking higher prizes if the state of the score papers entitles them to claim more valuable awards. Mr Aldred's prizes will be adjudged on the third day, according to the actual scores; and bearing in mind how much the meeting was divested of its customary interest by the pitiless showers that descended last year at Worcester, it " is expressly stipulated that if, owing to the state of the weather, the number of arrows prescribed cannot be shot during the two days ( the 1st and 2d of July), the meeting will be continued on the Friday, when the deficient number will, if possible, be shot; but if Friday i? not required for this purpose, there will be handicap sweep- stakes shot for on that day. The required number of arrows referred to is each day:— For ladies, four dozen at 60 yards, and two dozen at 50 yards; for gentlemen, six dozen at 100 yards, four dozen at 80 yards, and two dozen at 60 yards. Archers must signify their intention of shooting not later than June 16, after which day an additional charge will be made for target entrances. The railway companies— Great Western, London and North Western, and the West Midland— have met the committee in a liberal spirit, and will issue return tickets, available any day to the end of the week, for persons showing their subscription tickets to the meeting. THE IRISH GRAND ARCHERY MEETING. Great disappointment was caused last year by the target en- trances being insufficient to justify the promoters of the above meeting in holding it; and this was the more unaccountable, considering the very brilliant gathering of the previous season in Dublin, under the especial patronage of the'present popular Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland. From the most reliable of all quarters, • we have the assurance that the meeting will be revived early in August next, and take place at Bray, which is about ten miles from Dublin. NORFOLK AND NORWICH ARCHERY SOCIETY.— On the 6th inst the season was opened in the practising grounds at Thorpe Hamlet. Four targets were fixed. The gentlemen shot at 80 and < 50 yards, and the ladies at 60 and 50 yards. Miss E. Robinson won the prize for the ladies' highest score, and Sir H. Robinson that for the gentlemen's. The prizes for the best golds were taken by Mrs. Symonds and the Rev W. H. Cooke. SCOTTISH NATIONAL.— There is good reason for believing that this great meeting of Scotch archers will take place about the 24th of July. THE GRAND WESTERN MEETING.— The local committee at Weymouth have taken the preliminaries of this meeting so energetically in hand that there will be twenty- four local prizes announced for competition, and the unusually large number of eighty- six prizes altogether, besides badges.

A VILLAGE DISASTER.— A most calamitous fire broke out in a village named Damerham, about 12 or 13 miles south- west of Salisbury, on the borders of Hampshire and Dorsetshire, on Mon- day afternoon. May 11, which resulted in the total destruction of 27 houses, besides farm buildings, stables, & c. The fire originated in a cottage occupied by a man named Ambrose, whose wife had gone to Fordingbridge on business, leaving three children in the house. Shortly after one o'clock the roof of the cottage was dis- covered to be on fire, and the wind being exceedingly high at the time the flames speedily extended to the adjoining houses. The cottages were generally roofed with thatch, which was very dry, and consequently it burnt rapidly. Large pieces of flaming thatch were carried in all directions by the wind, and the houses on both sides of the street, with the exception of three cottages roofed with tiles, were in a very short time in one complete blaze. Two en- gines were obtained— one belonging to Lord Shaftesbury, from St Giles's, and the other from Cranbourne— but on their arrival it was found that the flames had made such progress that their ser- vices were unavailing, and they allowed the fire to bum out. Twenty seven cottages were destroyed, together with the farm buildings of Mr Scammel, and also the residence and farm build- ings belonging to Mr Waters, including barns, stable, and a large quantity of barley. A carpenter's shop, smith's shop, and timber yard were also burnt, and the damage is enormous. Within three hours of the discovery of the fire not a roof was remaining on either of the houses. A great deal of the property belonged to Mr Eyre Coote, of West Park, and the greater portion is uninsured. The cottagers were entirely burnt out, and had to be accommo- dated for the night in the school- room and barns in another part of the village. It is supposed that Ambrose's children were playing with matches in the house, and that the fire caught the thatch. The result is that nearly half of one of the prettiest villages in the south of England is destroyed. FATAL ASSAULT.— Mr Frederick W. Budd, residing on the Kimbolton- road, Bedford, was on Sundaj' last assaulted in Castle- lane, in the sametown, by two men standing among a number of labourers and militiamen, and so severely injured by them that he died shortly afterwards. It appears that Mr and Mrs Budd were returning'home from meeting a friend, when they saw Wil- liam Craddock, one of the men referred to, threatening to strike a man ef colour. The deceased, who was near his assailant at the time, caught hold of his arm, and threatened to give him into the hands of the police. Another man, named Jordan, then came up, and he and Craddock struck the deceased with their fists. They beat him for some time, and at last he fell to the ground insensi- ble. Mrs Budd called out for assistance, and several persons ran to the spot. Mr Budd was raised from the ground and for a short time recovered consciousness. With the assistance of his wife he managed to reach his house, but he died three hours afterwards. Seven men who were present when the assault took place were ap- prehended, and examined before the magistrates. Jordan and Craddock were charged with causing the death of Mr Budd, the others with being accessories before the fact. Craddock and Jordan were remanded, and the other persons discharged. A MEDICAL MAN ACCIDENTALLY POISONED.— On Monday an inquest was held at the village of Dalston, near Carlisle, on the body of Dr Evans, who died there on the previous Saturday. On that morning his landlady found him lying on the drawing- room floor, as if he had fallen from the couch. He was only able to speak a few words. He continued insensible till the evening, when he died, notwithstanding that every means had been used to rally him. A post mortem examination was made on Monday, when it appeared that death had been caused by chloroform. It was also shown that deceased had been in the habit of using this subtle poison to relieve his pain, and that he carried it diluted in his conveyance. Dr Evans was only 37 years of age.

The annual athletic sports of the gentlemen cadets of the Eoyal Military Academy came off on Thursday, May 7, and, as the day proved all that could be desired, a numerous and fashionable as- semblage were attracted to witness them, not only from Woolwich and its vicinity, but from far greater distances, and all appeared much pleased with the skill exhibited by the competitors, and gratified by the strains of the Royal Artillery band, which per- formed during the afternoon. The ground was in excellent order, and the arrangements made secured a good view from a raised platform for most of the ladies who honoured the games with their presence. H. R. H.

These sports were held for the first time in the school cricket field, on Saturday, May 2. Owing to the brightness of the day, the beauty of the ground, and the large concourse of spectators comprising the eliteoi theneighbourhood— every thing went oft with great eclat. The course was in splendid order, and the competi- tors in excellent training. During the intervals between the races, the scene was enlivened by the spirited performance of the band of the Metropolitan Police Force. Messrs R. Holmes and F. Wakefield kindly officiated as judges, and Lient- Col Wilkinson wound up the proceedings by presenting the prizes to the several winners with his usual courtesy, happy expression, and good taste. The races in general will speak for themselves, but the style and time in which the mile and quarter- mile races were re- spectively run were especially deserving of notice.

ATHLETIC SPORTS AT ST JOHN'S COLLEGE, HURST- PIERPOINT. The usual half- yearly meeting for the celebration of gymnastic games and foot races was held on Wednesday, May 6. The sports were on the whole very satisfactory. We would call attention to G. Osborne's throw with the cricket ball of 100 yards 1 foot. His long jump of 18 feet 3 inches seems at first sight to fall short of his jump of 19 feet six months ago, but it must be borne in mind that this last jump ( 18 feet 3 inches) was made toeing the mark, so that it is in reality quite as good as last year. The time in which some of the races were run was pretty good, especially that of the 500 yards race ( 60 seconds). The steeple chase was good, the course being somewhat over the mile, and having several stiffhedges. Stewards : Messrs J. C. Eowlatt, O. Churchyard, A. West, T. Bryant, J. Clode, and E. H. Forty.

ATHLETIC SPORTS AT THE LEEDS GRAMMAR SCHOOL. The annual athletic sports of the students of the Leeds Gram- mar School took place in a field adjoining the school, on Friday week. The day was beautifully fine, and the sports were wit- nessed by a good number of spectators, consisting principally of ladies. Mr Millward's excellent band was present, and played a variety of selections during the day. The sports included flat and hurdle races, boxing, fencing, hopping, and jumping, and in each engagement the competitors acquitted themselves very creditably. The most successful athlete of the day was C. H. Kemplay, and close at his heels was his younger brother, A. Kem- play, the best jumper in the school. There was a capital iiat race of 200 yards, resulting in a victory for T. Tennant, who per- formed the distance in 23| seconds. There were two hurdle races, the first, which was open to ail ages, being a distance of 200 yards, over ten hurdles 3ft 3in high, behind the last of which was a ditch 8 feet wide. The competitors kept tolerably well together till they arrived at the last hurdle but one, at which C. H. Kemplay and Barstow were leading, and A. Kemplay was a good third. C. H. Kemplay and Barstow jumped at the hurdle nearly simultaneously, the former clearing it and the latter break- ing the top rail in passing over. Kemplay then made a dash for the last fence and the water jump, and cleared both amid the cheers of the spectators. The others jumped into the water, and their scrambling out again created much merriment. The second hurdle race, 150 yards, was open to boys under fifteen, and included the water jump, but without the fence. It was run in 22 seconds, all the hurdles and the water being cleared in fine style. Subjoined are further par- ticulars :— Flat Eace of 100 yards, open to boys under 13.

PEDESTRIANISM AT BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICTS. ASTON CROSS GROUNDS.— Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather on Monday, May 11, there was a good attend- ance at the above grounds to witness the undermentioned matches which came off, viz :— Young Mills of Aston and Deaken of Sutton Coldfield, who at four o'clock made their appearance to run one mile, for £ 5 a side. Both men are new to these grounds, Mills having only run once before in a mile match with Willetts of Oldbury, who, after a well- contested race, beat him by a short distance, and once with Deaken, who beat him in the like distance by half a yard, so that the men may be said to be novices. Mills is a smart- made, active lad, and had carefully trained under George Hartshorne, who brought him to ground as fine as a star. Deaken, who has a slight advantage in height, had trained under the " Sutton Youth,'' looking well, but, to our thinking, a little too fleshy. Mr Coates was appointed referee and Mr Clulee starter. The betting was 6 to 4 on Mills, freely taken; just pre- vious to the start 2 to 1 laid and taken ( on Mills). The men got away ( without the report of pistol), Deaken with the best of the start, but in a few strides Mills was alongside of him, spurted for- ward, and got the lead, and in passing the referee at the first lap round ( eight laps less 16 yards for the mile) Mills was two yards in front, and gradually increased that distance, and at the half- mile ( done in 2min 30sec) was fully a score yards ahead. Any odds on Mills offered ( no takers). Mills dashed ahead, gradually increased the distance every lap round, Deaken not having a shadow of a chance. Mills finished the distance by running in a winner fully 40 yards ahead of Deaken. Time, 5min 25sec. T. PETERS AND J. EVANS.— These Birmingham men came next to run their six score yards match, for £ 5 a side, Mr Coates again acting as referee. Both men looked in first- rate trim, Peters under the well known T Brown, and Evans under Ben Garring- ton. Peters was the favourite at 3 to 2 and 7 to 4. After several attempts the men got away well together, but Peters quickly took the lead, and ran in a winner by two yards. LITTLEHALES AND LOURY.— These Birmingham men next toed the scratch to run 100 yards, Littlehales having a yard start, for £ 5. Both men are novices. Our correspondent was selected as referee. Betting commenced at 5 to 4 on Loury, and 15 to 10 was also laid on him. Just as the men were about starting it became clear to the referee that it was " a got up affair," and he therefore declared all bets off, and told the men he should not stand. They, however, ran the distance, Littlehales coming in first by a yard, Loury making no attempt to win. They had no gate money. WASS AND G. PETERS.— These men were to have run 120yards, for £ 5 a side, but Wass forfeited the stakes down. ASTON CROSS GROUNDS.— JAMES AND WARD.— These Birming- ham men have made their money—£ 5 a side— good for their six score yards race, James having two yards start, to the stakeholder, Mr Coates. The men toe the scratch on Monday, May 18, from half- past two to three o'clock. To go by mutual consent in 15 minutes, or by first report of pistol; Mr Pimley referee. J. EODEN AND J. MANN.— These district men met at the New Ash Tree running grounds, Tividale, near Dudley, to run their 130 yards match, for £ 5 a side. There was a large attendance on the ground. The betting commenced at evens and finished at 5 to 4 on Eoden. The condition of the men was first- rate, Eoden having trained under the well- known Tim Thomas of Tividale, and Mann under B. Astens of Oldbury. At three o'clock the men got to scratch, and having dodged till the time ( fifteen minutes) had ex- pired, they got away ; a well- contestedrace, Eoden having the lead, and winning by two yards and a half.

The following erack shooters contended:— G. Stead of Ashton, W. Smith of Kildwick, J. Holland of Manchester, J. Hough of Bolton, P. Burch of Stan- nington, J. Dronfield of Dobb, and J.

QUOITS.— A match, for £ 5 a side, was played in Harmer- lane, Sheffield, on Monday, May 11, between J. Hukin and J. Hobson ( both of Sheffield), 41 up, 7 yards, hard ends, the latter receiving five chalks. Betting at the commencement was 5 to 4 on Hukin. At one time the game was Hobson 35 to Hukin 28— the betting was now 2 to 1 on Hobson; Hukin now scored ten in succession. Hobson afterwards obtained four by some fine play, being 39 to his opponent's 38; Hukin eventually won by two chalks. HAREWOOD ARMS, LEEDS, AND NEIGHBOURHOOD. SATUEDAY, MAY 9.— KNUR AND SPELL.— About 1,000 per- sons were present at the Cardigan Arms enclosure to- day to wit- ness the match at knur and spell between J. Eobinson of Thorn- ton, near Bradford, and J. Ehodes of Gildersome, for £ 25 a side. The partisans of each appeared confident before they entered the field, very little betting taking place before they commenced their practice rises. They had played very few rises before some slight odds were offered on Robinson, and at the commencement 7 to 3 were freely laid on him. At the finish of the first half of the game 4 to 1 was laid upon Robinson, although he was only seven scores first. During the game Robinson sent one twelve, four elevens, four tens, ten nines, seven eights, three sevens, and one six; total 269. Rhodes sent two elevens, four tens, five nines, ten eights, seven sevens, a six, and a five; total 247. Eobinson winning by 22 scores. OATES AND DICKENSON.— These Armley men played a single hand match, each only being allowed the use of one hand, at the same time as the above, in the same enclosure, for £ 5, which ex- cited a good amount of amusement amongst the spectators, and ended by Dickenson winning by 14 scores.

To play at St Thomas's Grounds, Stanningley, on Monday, June 15. SALFORD BOROUGH GROUNDS. SATURDAY, MAY 9.— THE 145 YARDS HANDICAP.— Posess- ing, as Mr A. Attenbury does, an ardent admiration of out- door pastimes, of which, in the vicinity of Manchester, pedestrianism forms no inconsiderable portion, foot racing handicaps at his grounds are neither " few nor far between." Witli the prevailing distress on the one hand, and the close approach of the great fes- tival of Whitsuntide on the other, it was scarcely to have been ex- pected that Mr Attenbury would have been enabled to publish an entry for this handicap exhibiting 110 fewer than 78 names; yet such was the case; and out of this number 34 men ( by accepting) intimated their satisfaction with the starts allotted to them. The prizes were £ 20 for the first, £ 2 for the second, and £ 1 for the third, the prescribed distance being 145 yards. Notwithstanding the favourable weather which prevailed, the attendance of visitors was below the average, only about 300 persons being present. Prior to the commencement of the heats the betting was in favour of J. Anderson of Alnwick, odds being laid on him winning the first prize. Mr C. Attenbury filled the office of referee, and Mr J. Shaw acted as starter. The opening event was fixed for half- past three o'clock, and the sport of the afternoon resulted as follows:— First heat: T. Cox of Coventry 15 yards start, 1; P. Kearney of Preston 16,2. Won by a yard.— Second heat: H. Wareing of Preston 19, 1; J. Spence of Manchester 18, 2. A good race was won by half a yard.— Third heat: T. Turton of Arnold 19, 1; W. Dickens of Stratford 23, 2. Won easily by three yards.— Fourth heat: J. Anderson of Alnwick 211; J. Nolan of Manchester 19, 2; E. Mather of Bury 21, 3. Anderson carried off the heat with ease by four yards.— Fifth heat: J. Andrews of Millbrook 22, 1; E. Senior of Bkelmanthorpe 22, 2; Wr. Whartman of Coventry 19, 3. Won by a yard and a half.— Sixth heat: C. Dunn of Liverpool 20, 1; E. Thorp of Manchester 21, 2; F. Malkin of Eother- ham 22, 3. At first Dunn and Thorpe ran a dead heat; but, on running oft', Dunn proved successful, he winning by half a yard. Thorp was placed a yard back for quitting his mark before the pistol was fired.— Seventh heat: J. Parker of Preston 22,1; J. Eoberts of Macclesfield 19, 2. Won easily.— Eighth heat: This heat fell to the ground, no one appearing to contest it. — Ninth heat: J. Hancock of Longton 23, 1; B. Mather of Walton 20, 2. Hancock won easily by two yards.— Tenth heat: J. Grimshaw of Stockport 25,1; T. Atkinson of Salford 22, 2; J. C. Morris of Salford 24, 3. Won by three yards and a half. At- kinson was placed a yard back for leaving his mark before the signal was given.— Eleventh heat: J. Aldcroft of Manchester 23, 1; J. Narey of Hulme 20, 2. Won by three yards.— Twelfth heat: A. Williamson of Pendleton 23, walked over. MONDAY.— DISCREDITABLE PROCEEDINGS.— The final heats of the handicap were arranged for decision this afternoon, the weather being of the most unfavourable description, and the con- duct of certain parties highly reprehensible. The men were classed as follows:— First heat: Dunn, Andrews, Anderson, and Grimshaw.— Second heat: Parker, Turton, Aldcroft, and William- son.— Third heat: Cox, Wareing, and Hancock. Anderson of Alnwick had become a very " warm" favourite, 3 and 4 to 1 being laid on him, and his success would, it was said, have ill suited some speculators. To prevent this result, therefore, discreditable means were resorted to, as, before the time fixed for the first heat arrived, a number of men entered the course with the avowed in- tention of preventing the pedestrians running. Those engaged seeing the powerful obstruction which was likely to await them, declined to come to the scratch, under the fear of being annoyed, even if not injured, and consequently none of the heats came off. MONKS AND COX.— On account of the race of 300 yards, far £ 25 a side, between T. Monks of Carlton and T. Cox of Coventry, Mr A, Attenbury has now received £ 15 each. The match is to be de- cided at these grounds on Monday, May 25, the stakeholder to be referee. COPENHAGEN GROUNDS, MANCHESTER. SATUEDAY, MAY 9.— BURKE AND CULMER.— Probably in some measure owing to this match clashing with the opening heats of a handicap in Salford, the attendance of visitors at these grounds this afternoon was not so numerous as usual. The com- petitors in the event were M. Burke of Salford, who has of late been tolerably successful on the pedestrian course, and F. Culmer of Leeds, their engagement being to run half a mile, for £ 25 a side. Mr G. Hardy, of the Eising Sun, Manchester, filled the offices of stakeholder and referee. The betting denoted that the match was " a foregone conclusion" for Burke, 4 to 1 being of- fered on him, but there were few takers. The race may be briefly described, as Burke took the lead immediately after starting, soon had the event in hand, and came in a very easy winner by seven ar eight yards. THURSDAY.— CANINE EACE.— This was a match for £ 20 a side, distance 200 yards, the animals who took part being E. Stott's Lill and J. Sykes's Fan ; but being an off day, and the weather exceedingly unpleasant, the company present was much more select than numerous. The conditions ef the contest were that the heavier dog should give two yards and a half to the pound inside, consequently Lill received 1yd 31in start, and the betting was 7 to 4 on her. After a good race, Mr Holden ( the stakeholder and referee) declared Lill the winner by half a yard. NEW MATCH.— BURKE AND HOLROYD.— Articles have been signed whereby M. Burke of Salford and P. Holroyd of Mirfield, Yorkshire, are matched te run 440 yards for £ 25 a side, here, on June 27. Mr Holden to be stakeholder and referee. The first deposit of £ 5 each has been paid, and a similar sum is to be put down on May 23. RABBIT MATCH.— NO Go.— The match for £ 10 a side between S. Swift's Lill and T. Hallam's Bess ( both of Longton, Stafford- shire), originally arranged to come off at these grounds on May 25, is void, Swift having forfeited £ 3 10s staked in the hands of Mr Hayes. DOG RACE.— The race of 200 yards, for £ 20 a side, between G. Parkinson's Spring of Rochdale and T. Ivil's Nettle of Clifton was arranged to come off here on Saturday, May 16, the heavier dog to give three yards to the pound inside. Mr Hayes had been appointed stakeholder, and the dogs were to have been on the mark at five o'clock. CANINE MATCH OFF.— The race of 200 yards, for £ 10 a side, between G. Parkinson's Fly of Rochdale and J. Morrison's Bess of Manchester, fixed for decision here on May 16, would not come off, Morrison having forfeited £ 1. NOTTINGHAM AND NEIGHBOURHOOD, TRENT BRIDGE GROUND.— There was a strong muster of pedestrians at these grounds on Saturday, May 9, to witness the 150 yards race between W. Porter and G. Osborne ( both of Carrington). Betting was in Porter's favour, and after a clipping race he won by a yard and a half. WHITE HART GROUNDS, REDHILL.— These grounds were well attended on Monday, May 11, by local lovers of pedestrianism, to witness Mr Pemberton's 125 Yards Handicap, for money prizes. There was a very strong entry, and the acceptance was also very large. The following is a return of the sport, which was first- rate:— First heat: F. Clay of Arnold 26 yards start, 1; T. Dexter of Carlton 23, 2; W. Lulley of Arnold 19J, 0.— The second heat was not run, owing to the men who had accepted not appearing at the scratch.— Third heat: G. Upton of Arnold 27, 1; J. Oscroft of Arnold 1SJ, 2; G. Gregory of Sutton 23, 0.— Fourth heat: Swann of Nottingham 14, 1; G. Osborne of Carrington 21, 2 : G. Hayes of Nottingham 22, 0.— Fifth beat: N.

Eose 2,— Third heat: Swann 1, P. Eock 2.— Fourth heat: Wm. Packer 1, W. Porter 2.— Fifth heat: N. Sulley 1, J. Hopewell 2.— Sixth heat.: Terry i, H. Brown 2.— The winners of the second heats were then drawn^ but, owing to the lateness of the day, Clay, Terry, and Packer withdrew from the contest, which was, therefore, left to three only, and after a fine race Sulley won by a yard, Ttsrton heading Swana by the same dis- tance.

May 11 was the day appointed for Tom Lookyer to lead Eleven Colts against Twelve Gentlemen, and a goodly sprinkle of spec- tators assembled to witness the trial. Notwithstanding the many weeks of dry weather, George Street had got the wickets in splendid order. The play did not commence until one o'clock, owing to the absence of some of the gentlemen, at which hour Griffith and Sewell, jun, the umpires, called play. The Gentlemen won the toss and put the Colts in, to the bowling of Messrs P. P. Miller and P. Turner. We have nothing of very great import- ance to notice among the Colts. Bush is a very steady player, with an upright bat, and when he has had a little more practice in the field he will become a County man. His 66 was got slowly, which is not a bad fault tor a young player; he, however, made some good drives, leg- hits, and cuts, for fours, threes, and twos, arid was bowled by a " shooter," off Mr V. E. Walker's fast bowling. Lockyer, the captain, was napped at his own game. He made two leg- hits from Mr Miller for fours. Nightingale's was a hitting innincs; he made a drive for five and two fours, & c, and was caught mid- on. The innings terminated at 6: 5 for 193, but as the Gentlemen were not up to the mark in their bowling the total ought to have been priore. The wickets fell as follows:— One for 7, two for 41, three for 52, four for 78, five for 147, six for 157, seven for 170, eight for 173, nine for 177, ten for 183. Of the Gentlemen Messrs Miller and V. E. Walker were the first two to collar the Colts. Shepherd ( a low- delivery, left- handed bowler) and Wade ( very fast) were the first two to start bowling. Messrs Winterflood and Crafter were disposed of on Monday evening, and with 17 byes the total was 32. On TUESDAY morning Shaw was put on with 8hepherd. Very shortly after the commencement the telegraph announced four wickets for 38 runs. We may add that at the commencement of the contest the betting was 50 to 40, and even 3 to 1 was laid on the Gentlemen. The talented portion of the school now started to make it warm, which they did, and when the seventh wicket fell ( Mr V, E. Walker's) the telegraph announced 125, of which Mr Miller made a hitting innings of 26. Mr V. E. Walker was caught by long- stop, appearing while at the wickets quite at home. Mr Burbidge ( who made a magnificent on- drive for five) was stumped by the promising wicket- keeper, Carter, Lockyer taking point. Street bowled well as well as Bush. Others were tried in order to give the old- uns an opportunity of seeing what " new blood'' the county would be likely to introduce in the shape of bowlers, which they so much desire; we are afraid, at present, they have not been very successful. Both Messrs J. Walker and Turner played brilliant hitting innings, as well as Mr J. Waller. Rain prevented further play, and the match is consequently drawn, it being only made for two days. The fielding of Wade deserves much praise at long- leg and cover- point, and if he im- proves in the batting department he will likely be a county player. Score: COLTS. R. Bush, b V. E. Walker 66 J.

In the second Mr Hume, on the side of the Eleven, caused great perplexity to the bowlers, and was rewarded with the very handsome score of 102, obtained in excellent style, and without giving a chance until the latter por- tion of his innings, which comprised three sixes ( hits over the rails), four fours, six threes, & c.

This match was played on Thursday and Friday, May 7 and 8, en the Magdalen Ground, Cowley Marsh. The weather was of the most desirable character, and the ground in a condition rarely ever known before. The Eleven in their first innings obtained the somewhat meagre score of 142, of which number Messrs S. Linton and F. W. Wright contributed respectively 41 and 44. Mr Linton's score oomprised a five, three fours, & c, chiefly from hard hitting, and Mr Wright's figures embraced a six, a four, six threes, & c, obtained in beautiful style. The Sixteen were dismayed by Mr Walker's bowling, while the slows of Mr Inge suffered at the hands of Messrs Teape, Robertson, & c. Mr Scott, although put on, was unable to get the ball near the wickets, and the innings eventually closed for 201 runs. In the second innings of the Eleven, Mr Linton again proved himself worthy of his position, quickly running up a score of 30, and Mr Wright further con- vinced the Magdalen Club of the accuracy of their judgment in at once placing him in the first eleven, to" which we anticipate he will prove a great acquisition. Mr Daubeny was unusually felicitous in his batting, driving the bowling, especially the slows, all over the field. His innings of 47 comprised a six, a five, three fours, & c, the first mentioned being a hit nearly straight from the furthest wicket on the top of the railings facing Oxford. The match, as usual, was not played out, aud the question of supremacy must be a matter of fancy. The bowling on the whole was indifferent, and the fielding not of that first- rate character we might be led to expect from the names of the players engaged. ELEVEN. R. D.

RUGBY SCHOOL. THE ELEVEN v TWENTY- TWO. This match was commenced the early part of the season, but was not finished until the 4th inst, through other matches taking- place in April. The Eleven, in their first innings, made no par- ticular stand ( with the exception of Lloyd) mainly attributable to the extra field, but in their second they made a capital stand, particularly Batson and Cotton, who played remarkably well, although they were let off a few times. The Twenty- two played two very good innings, several of them scoring double figures, which augurs well for the future; eventually the Twenty- two won by nine wickets. Injustice to the Eleven, they were deprived ef the bowling of Martin in both innings. Score: THE ELEVEN. lstinn 2dinn H. V. Ellis, b Venables 1 leg b w, b Venables 0 T.

This match was played at Rossall, on Saturday, May 9, and re- sulted in the defeat of the School by seven runs, after a most ex- citing game. For the Dingle Mr Crooke played a fine innings for 69 ( not out), hitting freely all round. For Rossall Mr Bromley made 35 ( not out), by fine, steady play, and Mr Williamson, who went in last when the score was 74 for nine wickets, soon began to put on runs, and was only disposed of when the score was 112. Mr RawKns's bowling was excellent, and his batting good. The wicket was everything that could be desired, and the fielding of the School cannot be too highly praised. Score : ROSSALL. T. H.

This match took place at Bramall Ground on Monday, May II, and was continued on Tuesday and Wednesday, asjhad been an- nounced previously. It was intended as a benefit to Slinn, the Sheffield bowier. Unfortunately for him the rain fell a consider- able portion of the first day. The previous dry weather caused the ground to be very hard. When play commenced England was represented by Tarrant and C. Daft, who both played well against thebowlingof Slinn and Thorpe; the former was especially difficult throughout the innings. One wicket fell for 20, two for 32. The day's play was now put a stop to by the rain. On Tues- day the weather was fine the greater part of the day, and a good number of spectators visited the ground. Hayward and Stephen- son took their places at the wickets. The former was bowled after making a 2, and Stephenson hit his wicket after scoring 6. An- derson made a single and a magnificent drive for 6 ( run out). Caesar six singles. Parr two singles and a two. Clarke five singles and a two. Willsher five singles and a two. Tinley two sin- gles. Jackson not out; total 69. On looking at the score, it will be seen Slinn took seven wickets— six bowled in succession. His end was very difficult to play. Thorpe also bowled well. Jackson and Willsher commenced to bowl for England, Webster and Booking batting. They made a long stand for their runs. Two or three wickets then fell rather fast, until Rowbottom and Brownhill made a good stand, causing the slows to come on, and shortly after Tarrant at Jackson's end ; it had the desired effect, Brownhill being bowled by Tinley for 19. Cur tell played very well for his 7. The total amounted to 85, fieading the Eleven by 16 runs. The fielding of the England men was very good ; Stephenson was well at home behind the wicket, Tinley took seven wickets, and Tarrant bowled well. The same order of going in took place on the part of the Eleven, and the same bowling against them. At half- past six 13 runs were scored— nobody out. On Wednesday Daft and Tarrant played well, bring- ing on several changes of bowling; Tarrant's 47 were brilliantly made by fine hits all round and good defence; Hay ward's 31 were by two fours, one three, two twos, and singles; Anderson's 22 consisted of one four ( drive), one three, three twos, and singles; Parr was at the wickets a long time for 7; Clarke made a good drive for three in his 8; Willsher and Tinley bowled; Jackson not out again— the total amounted to 160. The Eleven appeared in good form. When time was called ten of the eighteen had fallen for 58 runs; Barker a good 12, Mr Appleton a steady 8, and Sadler, two good drives in his score of 10. The game is consequently drawn, but we think, according to the wickets to fall, in favour of the Eleven. Score: ALL ENGLAND. lst inn 23 inn G.

Lilly white, Kennington Oval. Price Is 6d. There must be something wrong with the clerk of the weather. The trees are prematurely covered with leaves. Here is Fred Lillywhite's Spring Edition to hand, with 20 closely printed ad- ditional pages, containing the names and doings of the available amateur cricketers in every part of England, and which is, in fact, a vade viecum for the captains of the large county clubs who want to know who are the good gentlemen players and where to find them ; and in spite of ail this, every cricket ground in England is like a pavement for want of rain. Poor Griffith has a mouthful of broken teeth already like pieces of tobacco pipe, and no doubt the wounded may be counted by hundreds in different counties. Still, we hope that the rain will fall, and the ball will roll, and many of those whose names appear in Lillywhite's list will figure on the green turf without injury to wind or limb. There is one funny remark at page 148—" The notes on the professionals of England have been purposely omitted from this year's edition of Lilly white's Guide." What means this ? Can it be that amongst the professionals of England there are a large number of manly, independent players who cry shame on the section of the dis- contented who take upon themselves the struggle for power? We only know that the man of all others who has recorded im partially the doings of the professionals for years past is Fred Lillywhite, and we jump to the conclusion that his wish is only to record the doings of the profession so long as they are a happy, united set of English cricketers, who promote our greatest national sport. The above remarks as to the omission of professionals come from a man who was a player's son, and whose entire family, including himself, live by cricket; so we may suppose that it really means something worth the attention of the English pro- fessionals, and we call on them not to quarrel with their best friends, as we all know that the glory of the game is the mixture of classes, and that the greatest peer of the realm is as pleased to catch out the village blacksmith, as the village blacksmith is to knock over his lordship's stumps.
