A poor fellow, boatswain's mate of the ship Suffolk, bound for Port Phillip, fell overboard on Tuesday evening, July 21, at Blackwall, just before the vessel sailed, and, striking his head on the port chains as he fell, instantly sunk, and was drowned before assistance could be rendered. ANGLING. SUMMER FISHING. " Now, flaming up to heaven, the potent sun Melts into limpid air the high- raised clouds And morning fogs, that hovered round the hills In party- coloured bands, till wide unveiled The face of nature shines, from where the earth seems Far stretched around to meet the bending sphere. There, on the verdant turf, or flowing bed, By gelid founts and careless rills to muse; Whilst tyrant heat, dispreading through the sky, With rapid sway his burning influence darts On man, and beast, and herb, and tepid stream." Midsummer is not, as I have before stated, a season favour- able to the ily fisher, but the bottom fisher now reaps a plea- surable harvest. For the last three years the summer months have been very wet, which has been greatly in favour of the fiy fisherman, and salmon fishers in particular; and this wet weather bringing heavy floods in our rivers, has been one reason why our waters are better stocked with salmon than they have been for years. This year, fortunately for the farmers and the country at large, we have had fine dry weather and hot sun, for which, though it curtails the angler's sport, we should be all most thankful. Should this hot weather continue, we shall have a very superb harvest and very bad fishing. I leave it to the taste and feelings of my readers which they would prefer; fortu- nately, however, these things are not left to the will of us poor mortals. There is hardly a portion of the earth where the cli- mate is so varied as Great Britain ; to- day we have overpowering heat, to- morrow may bring torrents of rain, which would swell the rivers, but would make the yeoman's heart sink. It is this variation of climate which the foreigner, accustomed to the ever cloudless sky of the east and south, so pertinaciously abuses; but it is also these constant variations of the atmosphere which ren- der our country, take it all in all, the richest on the face of thi3 globe:— " Heavens, what a goodly prospect spreads around Rich is thy soil, and mercif ul thy clime ; Thy streams unfailing in the summer drought; Unmatched thy guardian oaks; thy valleys float • With golden waves, aud on thy mountains flocks Bleat numberless ; whilst roving round their sides Bellow the blackening herds in lusty droves. On every hand Thy villas shine ; the country teems with wealth." This is a truthful picture of our happy land; let those who abuse it go seek a better. And now let us look into the angler's bill of fare for the early part of August. Salmon, grilse, sea trout, river and lake trout, with grayling, form the first and highest class of game fish ; then come the coarser fish, pike and perch ( but they had better be left until next month), barbie, dace, chub, roach, tench, carp— in fact, all the coarser fish are in good condition ; the bottom fisher is in his glory at this season, and the Thames fishers crowd the waters. Trent also claims her admirers, and they are many; a finer river can hardly be found, or one in which there are such" a variety of fish, her fishermen also are very first- rate work- men, and to those who wish to learn a wrinkle or two in the art of bottom fishing, I would recommend a visit to our Trent, making Nottingham their head quarters. There are plenty of good civil men who can be easily found by inquiry on arrival at Not- tingham, willing and ready to attend anglers, with punt, bait, and all the requisites. Old Baily of that ilk is too well known to need any praise from me, but I must say it is a real pleasure to see him fish, and to mark his enjoyment of the sport, which he seems; to delight in as much as the veriest tyro. August is the best grilse and sea trout month in almost all waters. Sewin also run up the Welsh rivers in great numbers. Salmon begin to rise better than they did in July, and the flies are made a little larger; but all depends on the water. Should we have rain and floods, there will no doubt be magnificent fishing, as there are more fish than has been known for many years. There can be no doubt that the new salmon fishing acts for England and Scotland have even during the short time they have been in force been the cause of this great increase of salmon, and in a few years we shall see Irish salmon fishing equally improved. One thing is quite certain, salmon were fast disappearing from the Irish rivers— once teeming with splendid fish. Had the system of fish- ing with stake nets, bag nets, weirs, or fixed engines of any sort, been continued for a few years, there would have been very little opposition made by owners of said engines to any reform in the Salmon Fishing Bill, for all salmon would have been destroyed, and weir and net property would have been worthless. It is evi dent from the number of letters I get from dear friends, who just at this time are particularly affectionate, requesting infor- mation on angling subjects, that the piscatorial portion of the community are on the move, from the crowded and heated cities, towards the cool banks of curling waters. Where to go, the tackle, flies required, & c, are but a few of the questions asked. It is not possible to answer all. I will, therefore, make a few general observations on fishing at this sea- son. The salmon rivers of Scotland and Ireland are, as a rule, earlier that those of Wales. From this time until the close ef the season all the salmon rivers in Wales will, if there shouid be rain to flood the streams, yield excellent sport. August is the best grilse and sea trout month. As the rivers are at present low and clear, the lakes will be found to give the best sport. Fish early and late. During the very warm weather salmon and trout, as a rule, will take the minnow or worm better than fly. Salmon in par- ticular delight in cool bracing breezes. At such times they will come to the surface and rise freely ; but during hot weather they lurk under the ledges of rocks, or in the white water at the foot of a fall, and will resist the attractions of the most tempting flies. Even the allurements of " the Three Graces," the tactics of " Tlie General," the bullying of " The Butcher,'' or the coaxing of " The Parson," will not draw them from their cool retreats ; but a minnow, neatly spun, shortly after sun down, is often too tempt- ing a mouthful to be refused. A couple of lob worms, quietly dropped near the monarch's retreat after four o'clock ( should the day be cloudy), will also often be acceptable to his ma- jesty. I do not think salmon take the worm well much after sun down. The fly or a minnow is then bet- ter. A very good salmon fly for late evening fishing is made — Body: silver tinsel,. with black hackle over the body ; hackle short, but not cut; never cut the ends of a hackle, it destroys the play of the fibre; if you wish to put on a small hackle choose one short in the fibre. Wings: very light mottled turkey ( a sort of cream oolour), bustard, teal, and light mallard, two good top- pings over all. Tail: small topping. 1 have been asked by some young salmon fishers to give them a few hints respecting the playing or working a salmon fly. Most trout fishers can cast a double- handed rod, and I have seen many who could at the first few attempts throw a very fair salmon line, but when they got the fly in the water they knew no more how to handle it than General " Hooker' did his " grand army," and they often act the part of said general, get into a mess, and " hook it." The first thing when fishing for salmon is to ascertain where to cast, for it is only in certain pools, and at particular parts of the pool, that salmon will rise. It is useless to fish a river for salmon in the same way you would for trout. Many and many times have I seen ignorant fishermen laboriously flogging a salmon river, in parts where they might just as well throw their hat in with the chance of scooping out a fish In general, when I do see the poor fellows se occupied,| I take some trouble to set them right, but often get snubbed for my pains, a toss of the head and curl of the lip as much as to say, " Do you take me for a jolly green ? Think I don't know how to fish for salmon ? Want to get me off the water— fish the place yourself, you do." Then, again, I sometimes meet most agreeable companions, and those who are pleased to take any advice from an " old hand." If you are on strange water, procure the assistance of some experienced salmon fisher, or one accustomed to attend anglers. There are always such men on all rivers, but be careful who you take with you, for you are dependent on your guide for all information respecting the best " casts.'' At all fishing quarters there are lots of idl<; fellows lurking about, waiting to pick up the fresh arrivals; fellows not worth their salt. Don't be in a hurry to engage any one. The best men will not hang about, the doors of the hotels, or dodge your steps as you wander dow n to take a look at the river. They must be " looked up," and they generally know pretty well their own worth. It is, however, better to pay one of these men a fair price for his information. You will not need him many days if you keep your eyes and ears open, and his advice is worth all you give— in " fact, without his advice you may spend days in dis- covering the haunts of salmon, for so capricious are these fish that hey will often choose the most wnUkelj - lo king plicee in a stream, and the most experienced angler may pass the only spot where he has a chance of rising a fish. As a general rule, you will find the finest fresh run strong fish liein heavy rapid water, and flsli that have been some time in a river in pools where the stream is less swift. After a flood, and when the water is high, salmon gene- rally lie at the bottom of the pool, and grilse at the head of the rapid which runs from the pool. As to the flies you use, do not be too bigoted as to certain favourites whicb you have found kill or are told are killers. There are certain flies which fish in par- ticular waters run at more freely than others. Local fishermen are in general much in love with their own flies. Do not despise their advice ; at the same time, use your own judgment, and if you cannot kill with your own flies try the local, and vie versa. I have found Irish flies will kill well on Scotch rivers, and alsouji Welsh waters. And now as to the casting and working of your fly. Never cast a longer line than is absolutely necessary. " The line should be cast straight on the water, and the fly be at the full extent of the line when it lights, for a fish may seize it directly, and then, if the line is slack, he is lost. As soon as the fly is on the water give it motion. This is done by raising the point of the rod and lowering it; in fact, working it up and down. This motion gives a life- like appearance to the fly, which is jerked through the water as though it were some living thing playing in the stream, the wings and fibres of the hackle shutting up as the fiy is brought forward and expanding as it for a moment rests. In very rapid water it is not necessary to work the fly at all. In a moderately swift stream little working is necessary, but in a still pool you must give motion to your lly and work your rod strongly; the salmon fly must always be worked against the stream. Cast your fly across the stream ; let the water bring it in a curve towards your bank; at the same time keep the fly working by short jerks up against the current. It is best to get well above where you intend to cast, particularly if the water should be rapid, as, if you cast a long lint orer a strong current straight across, the line will '• bag" in the centre of the stream, and will be carried down lower than the fly, which will, by that action, be dragged down instead of up the stream. Get above your cast if possible, and throw your line so that the water will carry it at its lull extent over to your bank. There are many things I should wi- h to say on tin sub- ject of working your fly, as 1 a: n certain it is the pl. iying the fly in the water which is one great secret of success, out at present I can only give space to a few general observations on the subject. Be careful how you appr i h a pool where you intend to cast; if you are walking up a rivtr go a little distance from the bank as you walk to the head of the pool; many a cast is dis- turbed and the fish made shy by reflecting this caution. Begin to cast your fly above where ycu expect a fish will rise; salmon will sometimes move a short distance up or down the stream from their haunt; late in the afternoon or evening you will often find them at the head of the stream which runs into a pool. When you are fishing deep water, that is to say water over twelve or fourteen feet deep, fish slowly; let your " fiy sink some distance under the surface, and work your rod with a greater rise and fall of the point. Salmon lie deeper in the water than trout, and are not so quick of sight; neither will they, even if they do see the fly, take the trouble to go a very long distance to seize it. Trout will often rise well in water that you cannot see a fly if sunk three or four inches from the surface ; but when salmon fishing, unless you can see a fly a couple of feet under water you w ill not have very great success. In some rivers the best water for the salmon fislier is that which is stained a sort of porter colour, which it obtains by running through the peaty bogs on the hills; but this water, though dark to look down into, is not muddy, but clear. So far as my own experience goes I prefer bright, clear water, and plenty of it. And now a word or two on striking and hooking a fish. " The fish that are usually hooked the firmest are those which take the fiy under water unperceived by the angler. And why ? Because " the rodsmnn dees not strike until he feels a fish. When a fish is seen to lise, often liis whole length out of the water, unless the rod is in the hands of a cool and experienced fisherman, up goes the point of the rod with a jerk, which carries the fly off the water and over his shoulder ; in fact, the lly is jerked away from the salmon before he can take it, and both the fish and man are disappointed. Never strike when you see the rise of a fish until you feel that he has taken the fly ; then do not strike viciously, or you will either tear the hook out of the salmon's mouth or break your tackle. Lift the point of your rod quickly, and if your line you have out is ex- tended to its full length, as it ought to be, the turn of your wrist will be quite sufficient to fix the hook firmly in the mouth of the fish as he turns down with your fly. There are more fish lost by striking too soon than by not striking at all. When a fish rises clear out of the water he is seldom close to your fiy, and very often does not intend taking it; such a rise is about the worst sign possible. To jerk the fly away from him will, nine times out of ten, so alarm the fish that he will sink and be no more seen. It is a nervous moment; but if yon can hold your hand, and continue the play of the fly, the fish will feel confidence, and, after giving time, say ten minutes or a quarter of an hour, throw for him again, and the chances are he will come again more boldly and be hooked. The proper time to strike a salmon is at the mo- ment he turns down with the fly in his mouth; when he does this your line becomes tightened and you feel a " tug;'' then you do something with your wrist, and the bat tle begins. In fact, your hand and eye must work, as the Yankees say, " simultanious.'' There are many reasons why I do not like hard striking, but I think two will be sufficient to prove that the gentle uplifting of the point of the rod is the safest plan. In the first place, if you strike violently at your fish and miss him he becomes alarmed and will not rise again. If you strike viciously and hit him, but only hook him slightly, you tear away the little hold you have, and so frighten him by the shock you give him that there is no chance of seeing him again that day. Now if you quietly raise your point, when you think he has turned down with your fly, and miss him, the motion of the fly will be very little altered, and the fish is not alarmed ; and if again you hook him but slightly you may, by playing him with skill, kill him; or if he does break away from the slight prick you give him he will not always be so much alarmed as to refuse the fl3' after he has been given time. This season a fine fresh run fish rose to my fly. I felt him, and struck, but in an instant he was gone. I sat" down, and in about ten minutes cast again and hooked a fish some dozen yards lower down the stream. I killed this fish, aud on examining his mouth I found the wound I had made in his jaw the first time he rose at me. If I had struck hard at this fish and given him a violent shock he would not have come at me again. I have not space to say anything concerning trout in this letter, but the same flies and baits will kill I recommended in my last. I shall in my next continue my hints on salmon, and have something to say anent sea fishing. FIN. ARCHERY. MEETINGS ALREADY FIXED.

SCOTTISH NATIONAL ARCHERY MEETING. The ninth annual meeting of Scottish archers was held on the cricket ground, Stockbridge Park, Edinburgh, on Tuesday, July 21, when the number of competitors was unusually large, there being four . targets for ladies and ten for gentlemen. No ground could have been selected with greater judgment, either as regards the convenience of archers or the enjoyment of the many hundreds of spectators by whom the match was witnessed. A strong and varying wind, which increased in intensity towards afternoon, interfered greatly with the success of the toxophilites, none of whom, not even excepting the champion ( Mr Peter Muir), and other leading archers, made average scores.

AQUATICS. ROYAL IRISH YACHT CLUB. REGATTA IN DUBLIN BAY.— The great Ascot meeting of the sea, the regatta in Dublin Bay, took place on Wednesday, Thurs- day, and Friday, July 15, 16, and 17. The Royal Thames Yacht Club first- class cutter match is essentially the Derby of yachts- men ; and certaiuly the Irish Channel meeting takes rank next to it in interest, not only for the fine sea course it otters for racing vessels, but for the beauty of the surrounding scenery and the immense fleet of yachts that annually visit Kingstown harbour from all parts of the United Kingdom." It appears to be the neu- tral ground where yachtsmen from the three countries may meet to fight their battles over again, and where all that is new in mat- ters afloat from North, East, South, and West can be seen at actual work during the days of the aquatic contests. The vessels which take part in matches at Kingstown, generally speaking, have been tried before on their own respective stations, and in many instances against each other at the earlier regattas; but quite a new phase of interest appears to attach itself to their performances on these occasions. It has often been asserted in theatrical circles that if an aspiring actor passes the ordeal of a Dublin audience he need fear none other; very much the same reputation is enjoyed by the audience that yearly witness the struggles for pre- eminence on the wave in this locality. Bome very fast vessels of their day have been turned out from Dublin; but since the death of Marshall nothing of magnitude has merited celebrity in successful contest against the first class cutters or schooners of other yachting ports. Nevertheless, there is a very critical nautical coterie in Kingstown, who have shrewd notions that originally were very crude, but that some ten or fifteen seasons' experience in seeing first- rate clippers contending over the waters of their fine bay have ripened into judgment not to be despised, and it would rather astonish many of our crack yachtsman of the day were they to hear the remarks made, not only afloat, but upon the eastern and western piers of the harbour during the progress of a match in the bay, betraying an intimate knowledge of the antecedents of the respective rivals, and that practical acquaintance with nautical skill sufficient to render opinions from such quarters quite respectable aud by no means to be undervalued. Binooulars have of late years wonder- fully improved, and it is as rare to see a shore- going critic without his " Callaghan," strapped over his shoulder, as it is to see an Eastender return from the Derby without a row of Dutch dolls round his hat. Upon the evening previous to the regatta the har- bour was a complete forest of masts, exhibiting the burgees and ensigns of every yacht club afloat, and one brave little Scottish two- sticker maiden exhibited, in addition to her club flags, the Seccesh banner of the Confederate States at herj fore topmast head. There were very close upon a hundred sail at an- chor, embracing every form, shape, and rig, from the stately Cecile down to the tiny American centre- board sloop, and even one craft rejoiced in the sails and gear of a Chinese junk. Steam yachts, too, were in strong force; and as to small sailing craft, they were moving about as thickly as land crabs at Port Royal. W ednesday morning broke with every pros- pect of a fine breeze at N. N. W„ and the first object that greeted our eyes was the gallant little I erne schooner, Commodore Graves, R. M. Y. C., turning into the harbour from the southward. The first prize sailed for on this day was the handsome piece of plate presented by theRoyal StGeorge's YachtCiub with their usual libe- rality and excellent taste, value 60 guineas. For this the following vessels came to the starting buoys:— STATION. YACHT. TONS. OWNER. 1. PURINE 65 T. Seddon 2. SURF 54 C. T. Couper 3. VINDEX .... 45 A. Duncan 4. AVALANCHE 47 J. Wheeler 5. JEolcs 60 T. Houldsworth, Rear- Com R. N. Y. C. The Thought, 27 tons, J. Jones, was entered, but elected to sail in a smaller class. All the vessels were under balloon topsails and large head canvas. The starting gun was fired at 11: 24 Greenwich time; the Phryne went away with the lead, the Surf second, Ava- lanche third, Vindex fourth, and yEolus fifth. Immediately after starting the Surf carried away her balloon topsail yard at the tie bend, and her chance of the race was at once put an end to, al- though she fought gallantly to the last, and was sailed in the most determined manner from start to finish. The iEulus passed the Vindex to windward, the gallant old ship going along at, astonish- ing speed, and the harbour ilagboat was rounded for the first time in the following order:— HARBOUR FLAGBOAT, FIRST TIME.

It was a run dead before the wind to the Muglin flagboat; the Phryne, Surf, and Vindex had their balloon jibs set; the Avalanche set hers at 11: 36: 0, but the iEolus travelled along as if she did not care a button for any of them, just like Christopher's wonderful gun, That if you want to shoot, You must pull the trigger in Largs, And it kills the grouse in Bute! Away truly went the old cock of the North at a grand pace, out on the weather side of the Avalanche, which tried to stop her, but the .< Eolus just caught her on the luff, and stopping it neatly, covered and passed her, and fairly astonished the on- lookers by running up, beam and beam, to windward of the Burf; the Avalanche, shaking herself loose, passed up abeam between the two, and the Vindex drew upon the three rapidly, whilst the Phryne still kept creeping gradually away. At 11: 45 the ^ Eolus passed the Avalanche and Surf, and took second place, and the Muglin flagboat was rounded:— MUGLIN FLAGBOAT, FIRST TIME. ( GREENWICH TIME.) H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S.

At twelve o'clock the vessels stood thus:— Phryne, 1 ( with balloon topsail and jib); iEolus, 2 ( with small topsail and working jib) ; Avalanche, 3 ( with balloon topsail and jib) ; Surf and Vindex abeam, 4 ; the former with small topsail and balloon jib, the latter with balloon topsail and jib. Three cutters, one schooner, and the Revenue cruiser Fanny, Capt Daith, were at this time in company with the racing fleet. At 12: 16 the Vindex got her bowsprit on the weather quarter of the Avalanche, and the Surf drew up abeam and passed to leeward of Avalanche and Vindex, and at 12: 20 she run through the bolus's lee, and again took second place. At 12: 30 the Surf left, the iEolus, Vindex, and Avalanche very fast, and drew up to windward of Phryne. At this time the sun was fearfully hot, and quite killing the wind; the Surf lowered her foresail to let her balloon jib draw, and got her hands to leeward to keep her after canvas sleeping; at the same time she drew rapidly on the Phryne in the light air, and the latter hauled up to stop her. At 12: 43: 40 theiEolus brought a breeze up with her and ranged to windward of Surf; the Phryne took in her balloon jib and foresail, and set working jib and foresail very smartly, preparatory to rounding the Lightship. Again she got a breeze and drew away, leaving the Burf nearly becalmed; the wind, which had been previously blowing in veins and puffs, now shifted to north- east. Off the Lightship a pilot schooner and the steam- tug Rull Dog were awaiting the vessels, and the ship was rounded thus:— KISKLIGHT SHIP, FIRST TIME, ( GREENWICH TIME.) H. M. s. I II. M. s. I H.

F 12 52 20 I VINDEX 12 59 0 | After they rounded, the wind northerned more, and it became a turn to windward to Candlestick Bay boat; the vessels shifted thtir head balloon canvas for working jibs and foresails, but balloon topsails were still carried. At 12: 56: 30 the Surf tacked to port, and the Mollis drew ahead of the Vindex; the Vindex and Avalanche tacked to port immediately on rounding the Phryne, and . ffiolus at the same time followed their example. At 1: 8 the vessels all tacked to starboard, and the Surf was at this time abeam and to windward of Phryne, with the iEolus No. 2, a little ahead of and to windward of Vindex, No. 3, Avalanche No. 4, astern but to windward of both iEoIus and Vindex. The Phryne's balloon topsail was now shaking, but again she took a slashing breeze, and began to forge ahead of the Surf ; at the same time the Vindex tried to run through the iEolus's lee; the latter bore down upon and tried to cover- her, but the Vindex would not be denied, and forced her pas sage cleverly. At 1: 19: 20 the Phryne tacked to port, well to windward of her fleet. At 1: 23: 30 Surf tacked to port, the Vindex, / Eolus, and Avalanche still standing on the starboard tack. At 1: 25 the Phryne tacked to starboard, and the wind breaking her off in quite a new vein she headed right out to sea, in opposite directions to the course of the Surf. Vindex tacked to starboard at 1: 26, and at that hour the Phryne was nearly be- calmed ; it now became a regular fluking time, every crew look- ing out with eagle glances for the chance of a favourable wind. The Phryne was the first favoured; she got a fresh breeze from an- other point of the compass altogether, and headed up for Howth on the same tack ( starboard) as Surf, but lying fully three points higher, the wind all in veins. At 1: 31 the Vindex tacked to port, working up into the bay to look for her chances, the Witch schooner, Rear- Commodore Sandford, at this time in company with the racing vessels. The Surf at this period just lay a good clean full- and- bye for the Candlestick Bay flagboat, whilst the Phryne was going for it with all her sheets flowing, and setting her balloon jib and foresail. The Mars steamer made her appear- ance, steaming across the bay with a large number of passengers apparently much interested in the progress of the match. At 1: 43: 30 the Surf set her balloon jib, and the iEolus got into a belt of calm, and dropped astern of the Vindex and Avalanche. At 1: 44 the Phryne passed to windward of the north buoy of the Bur- ford Bank, the Surf crossing the bank midway between the north and south buoys. A large fleet of schooners and cutters were up about the Poolbeg flagboat watching the manoeuvres of the com- peting yachts. At 1: 45 the Vindex and Avalanche set balloon jibs. The Candlestick Bay boat was rounded for the first time in the following order :— CANDLESTICK BAY BOAT, FIRST TIME. Wind light and at east. H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S.

Going down to the harbour flagboat, from Poolbeg, the pretty little cutter Pet ( Colonel Ruttledge) met the racing vessels, when the Surf hove a bottle overboard with a paper containing a re- quest that a new balloon topsail yard, 57ft in length and 5Jin in diameter, might be ordered for her, to be ready against the fol- lowing day's match. Colonel Ruttledge immediately bore up for the harbour, and in the second round hailed the Surf to say that her request would be complied with. The harbour flagboat was passed the second time in the following order :— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. PBRYNE 2 49 15 | SURF 3 L 20 | VINDEX 3 18 45 Avalanche and jEolus not timed. The wind at this time had backed round to B. S. E., giving a turn dead to windward for the Muglin flagboat. The Phryne still carried her balloon topsail turning up wind, and the Surf drew steadily and gradually up under her lee. Walker handling her beautifully, working every puff of wind and fighting every inch of water with his formidable antagonist. The Muglin flagboat was rounded for the seeond time thus :— H. M. S. | II. M. S. PHRYNE 3 27 30 | SCRF 3 31 30 It will be seen by the above timing that the Surf picked up the Phryne 8min 5sec in this short beat to windward, all through downright good handling At 3: 44, going out for the second rounding of the Kish, the Surf set her balloon foresail, and shortly afterwards her balloon jib, the Phryne again drawing away from her hand over hand. As they neared the Kish the wind came up from south, and became lighter, when the Surf drew up on the Phryne, and the lightship was rounded for the last time as follows :— H. M. s. I N. M. S. I H. M.

So far the loss of the Surf's topsail yard had told hardly against her in the light winds; as they approached Howth the second time the wind again became light. The Candlestick Bay boat was rounded for the last time as under:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S PHRYNE 5 10 0 | SCRF 5 22 0 | VINDEX 5 56 30 The Phryne hung at the boat in a very light air, and the Surf was quite becalmed, whilst the Vindex brought up a gentle breeze; again the Phryne's big topsail did her good service in the light airs aloft, and away she went ahead as if a certain gentle- man in black was kicking her endways; after a short time the Burf began to move along, and both vessels hauled well down the bay to meet the flood tide. The Avalanche left theJEolus and drew on the Vindex, but the Vindex hung at the Candlestick flagboat for a long time with scarcely an air of wind to set her canvas sleeping; and when the Avalanche got up to it at 6: 10 she was quite becalmed, a fate which also befel the iEoIus upon her arrival at it. The Poolbeg boat was rounded for the last time as follows:— H. M. S. I II. M. S. I II. M. S. PHRYNE 6 2 45 | SURF 6 8 45 J VINDEX 6 35 45 It was a close haul from this point to the harbour flagboat, which had to be left on the starboard hand going into the harbour. The Burf looked well for the boat, and the Phryne did not appear to hold as good a wind ; the 8urf drew slightly upon her, but again the Phryne jumped away with her lead as strong as ever. Anon the Surf warily crept upon her again, Walker handling her as tenderly as a nurse- tender would a newly- born babe, and there is no doubt that had she the advantage of her balloon topsail at this period of the struggle she would have put the crew of the Phryne to all they knew to keep her from going to the front. At 6: 49 both vessels got ready their balloon jibs and foresails for the last desperate struggle after rounding the harbour boat. The Surf had never been so close to the Phryne throughout the race as at this time. Round the harbour boat they went thus for the last time:— H. M. S. I H. M. S.

The SECOND RACE was for a purse of £ 30; a time race; open to yachts 35 tons and under; the course being the Donegal, or short course, twice round. The following yachts started at twelve o'clock:— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. FINGAL 22 .... F. Gowan, R. I. Y. C. EMMET 32 W. W. F. Hav, IT. T. Y. C. QUEEN 28 J. L. Mawdesley, R. M. Y. C. THOUGHT 27 J. Jones, R. M. Y. C. The Thought was the favourite at long odds for this match ; tlie course was that known a3 the Donegal. An excellent start was effected at twelve o'clock, the Emmet taking the lead, with the Thought second, Queen third, and Fingal fourth. They passed the first flagboat in the following order and times:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. EMMET 12 27 0 QUEEN 12 30 0 FINGAL 12 33 30 THOUGHT 12 27 30 | After roundiug the Emmet seemed to be rather slow in setting her topsail, when the Thought, which had been nearly beam and beam with her at the Ilagboat, collared and passed lier, taking first place. The Queen next overhauled and passed her, taking second place. The Emmet and Fingal seemed to go better when- ever the breeze freshened, but the Thought had them all now in the toils, and was playing with them as she pleased. The Can- dlestick Bay boat was rounded thus:— H. M. S. I H. M. s. I H. M. S. THOUGHT .... 12 57 0 EMMET 1 0 30 FINGAL 1 5 30 QUEEN 12 59 15 | After rounding the Emmet got her boom over on the port hand, and this, together with the ebb tide catching her, caused her to lose in position. She soon, however, discovered her mistake. The Fingal, after rounding, apparently put about and gave up the race ; however, to the astonishment of those immediately near, she was round again in a few moments, and at it as fresh as ever, suggesting the idea that she was following the example of a super- stitious card player turning his chair, giving herself a turn right round to change her luck. However, it was of no use ; from this point it was evidently the Thought's race. At 2: 42 we met the Thought leading well; at 2: 52, the Queen second ; at 2: 57, the Emmet No. 3 ; and, at 2: 59, the Fingal No. 4. We could not make out further change in their respective positions during the remainder of the match, and they passed the flagship in the harbour at the following times:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. THOUGHT 4 25 7 | QUEEN 5 30 20 | EMMETT 5 34 50 As will be seen this was a hollow match for the Thought, Barr giving his antagonists a hint of the proper way to pick out veins of wind, after a fashion peculiar only to the initiated. The THIED RACE was for a prize of £ 15, open to yachts of 15 tons and under. The following started at one o'clock:— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. I YACHT, TONS. OWNER. ANTELOPE .... 13 T. Baker | SPELL 12.. ..

One minute per ton was the allowance of time for difference of tonnage ; the Donegal Course, once round. The Glide, an extremely handsome and fast little vessel, designed and built by her owner, soon went to the front of the fleet. We met them coming the reverse way to the course of the large cutters at 2: 2- 3: 30, at which time the Glide was leading well, with the Ripple second, Magnet third, Dove fourth, Spell fifth, and Virago sixth.

At, 2: 37 we met them in this order. The little Cygnet, a very pretty little vessel, which had got becalmed again, took a breeze and went into third place, and they passed the flagship in the following order and times:— H. M. S. I H. M.

It was a long and a short leg to the harbour flagboat. The starting gun was fired at 11: 21: 6 Greenwich time. The PhrynS took the lead on the starboard tack, lying well out of the harbour; the Vindex No. 2 on the starboard tack under her lee; the Surf made a short board on the port tack to clear her wind of the Phryne, and then lay out on the starboard tack on the Phrynfe's weather quarter. The Vindex being dead to leeward, had to make a short board to starboard in the harbour's mouth, and then lay out to windward of both Surf and Phryne. The Surf held a fine wind going out. At 11: 32 the Phryne tacked to starboard to weather the boat; at 11: 33 the Surf tacked for it; and at 11: 34: 4- 5 the Vindex tacked under the Surf's lee, both going beam and beam for the flagboat,, which was weathered thus:— HARBOUR FLAGBOAT, FIRST TIME.

The Aura cutter came out with the vessels, having her " dingey'' in tow. At 11: 45 the Surf left the Vindex very fast, and drew somewhat on the Phryne. It was a glorious sunshiny day, with clear atmosphere, the easterly wind rather cool. MUGLIN FLAGBOAT, FIRST TIME. H. M. S. I H. M. S. I n. M. s. PHRYNE 11 51 15 [ SURF 11 53 15 | VINDEX U 54 30 A dead turn to windward ensued for the Kish Lightship. Im- mediately after rounding the Phryne tacked to port on the star- board tack up the bay, followed by the Surf, the Vindex standing to the southward and eastward, on port tack. At 11: 57: 20 the Vin- dex tacked to port on the starboard tack afterthe Surf andPhryne, and on the Surf's weather quarter; the Burf lay up for the Bailey Light, whilst the Phryne did not seem to lie within one point and rently of it, but still kept head, reaching very fast, although appa- ahalf dropping to leeward of the other two vessels. At 12: 7: 30 the Phryne tacked to starboard on port tack, and weathered the Surf about half a mile; the Surf still holding on on starboard tack, and the Phryne again tacked to port on starboard tack at 12: 15: 0, a long way t, o windward of the Surf. At 12: 19: 30 the Surf tacked to starboard on port tack. At 12: 22 the Phryne on the starboard tack weathered the Burf about two minutes ahead of her. At 12: 27 the Phryne tacked to starboard on port tack in towards Candlestick Bay, the Vindex still standing up the bay on the starboard tack. At 12: 32 the Vindex tacked to starboard on port tack, apparently nearly abreast of the Martello Tower at, the northern extremity of Candlestick Bay, and got a fine slant of wind off the Howth land. At 12: 41 the Phryne got the same slant oil'the high land of Howth, and crossed the Burford Bank about two- thirds from the North Buoy; the Surf a good way to the southward of the South Buoy. At 12: 52 the Burf tacked to port on the starboard tack. At 12: 54 the Phryne tacked to port on the starboard tack, about three- quarters of a mile to windward and abeam of Surf. At one o'clock the Vindex on the port tack, having made one long board of it from under the Howth land, drew up very much under the lee of Surf and Phryne. At 1: 5 the Surf tacked to starboard on port tack, the Phryne at the same time weathering her on the starboard tack about three minutes ahead ; and at 1: 10: 15 she tacked to starboard on the port tack. At 1: 22: 30theVindex tacked to port on the starboard tRclr, tbe8urf at the same time weathering her on the port tack about 2min 25sec ahead of her. At 1: 26: 30 the Surf tacked to port on the starboard tack. At 1: 31: 30 the Phrynetacked to port on the starboard tack abeam and to windward of Burf, and about 3min 25sec ahead of her; the Phryne, as she drew up to the ship, prepared her balloon jib. At 1: 41: 30 the Phryne tacked to starboard on the port tack, just under the lee of the ship. At 1: 42: 30 the Surf tacked to starboard on port. tack. At 1: 44: 30 the Phryne tacked to port on starboard tack to weather the ship. At 1: 45: 30 the Vindex tacked to starboard on port tack reaching down for the ship, and making fine sailing. At 1: 50 the Surf tacked to port on starboard tack to weather the ship; and at 1: 56: 30 the Vindex tacked to port on starboard tackfor the ship. Probably finer handling never was witnessed in three racing cutters at this period of the match. KISH LIGHTSHIP, FIRST TIME. n. M. s. | H. M. s. I H. M. s.

At 3: 26 she was wetting canvas alow and aloft. The Surf stood away on the port tack to the south- ward and eastward to look for a new wind on her own account,. The Vindex, after rounding, tacked to port on the starboard tack after the Phryne. At 3: 33: 30 the Phryne tacked to starboard on port tack a long way to windward on the port quarter of the Surf. At 3: 42: 30 the Vindex shifted her balloon for a working topsail. At 4: 2 the Phryne tacked to port on the starboard tack, lying up for the Bailey Light, looking for a stronger wind off the highland of Howth. The Vindex stood away up the bay, looking for a wind similar to that she got on the first round. The three vessels were now widely separated, the Phryne, however, mistress of the position still. At 4: 12 the Phryne tacked to starboard on the port tack. At 4: 15 the Vindex was observed coming down the bay on the port tack, but not so close to the North land as before. At 4: 20 the Surf tacked to port on the starboard tack, lying for the Kish, bringing it rather on her weather bow, Lambay Island appearing about a cable's length to lee- ward of it. At 4: 34 the Burf looked well up for the ship, and likely to weather it in the one board; at the same time the Phryne was coming down on the port tack at great speed, and at 4: 36 she weathered the Surf, which had picked her np on this tack wonderfully. At 4: 39 the Phryne tacked to port on star- board tack, on Surf's weather bow, and lay for the ship a clean full, the Surf as fine she could lie, and closer to the Phryne than she had been from the start. The Surf was forced to make a short board to starboard on the port tack to clear the ship, by which she lost considerably, and it was rounded— KISII LIGHTSHIP, LAST TIME. H. M. s. I H. M. s. t 11.

At 12: 35: 30 the Snipe rounded the harbour flagboat, first; at 12: 36: 30, the Circe, second; Amy third. They rounded the Muglin flagboat first time, Snipe 12: 56: 15 ; Circe 12: 56: 45 ; Amy third. At 2: 10: 0 we observed the Circe leading, both gafftopsails set, Snipe second, Amy third, with both topsails set. At 2: 19: 0 we crossed in the headway of schooner match, the Snipe holding a splendid wind, beating out for the Kish, and well to windward of Circe, but the latter head reaching through her lee. At 3: 36: 0 we saw them going from the Kish lightship for the Candlestick Bay boat, on the first round ; the Snipe, having evidently mastered the Circe on the turn out to windward, was leading, with the Circe close upon her, second, and the Amy some distance astern, third; all with balloon jibs set, the Violet schooner and two cutters in company ; the little Snipe appeared to be going along like a witch; the Circe collared her under Howth, and took the lead in for the Poolbeg flagboat, with the Snipe, however, far too close for her allowance of time; in fact, the gallant little yawl was pressing her hard. On the second round they got becalmed under Howth, and not getting in within the time specified, the match was appointed to be sailed on Friday, but the Circe being bound away it was not concluded. The third match was for a purse of £ 30, open to yachts of thirty tons and under— a time race; the Donegal course ( twice round). The following started:— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. I YACHT. TONS. OWNER."

The club- house of theRoyal St George's Yacht Club, and also that of the Royal Irish Yacht Club, were most liberally thrown open during the meeting to yachtsmen and their friends. The members of the Royal St George's entertained a numerous circle of yachtsmen to a sum ptuous ban quet, Commodore theMarquis of Drogheda presiding. Amongst the flag officers present at the regatta were Commodore the Marquis of Drogheda, schooner Cecile, Royal St George' « i Yacht Club ; Commodore Graves, Ierne schooner, Royal Mersey Yacht Club; Vice- Commodore Henry and Rear- Commodore Sandford, Royal St George's Yacht Club; Vice- Commodore Hone, Royal Irish Yacht Club; Vice- Commodore Richardson, Ciice schooner, and Rear- Commodore Houldsworth, iEolus cutter, Royal Northern Yacht Club, & c. The allowance of time for dif- ference of tonnage at this regatta was for all matches, unless those specified to the contrary, from 25 to 40 tons, 30sec; 41 to 50 tons, 25sec; 51 to 60 tons, 20sec; 61 to 70 tons, 15sec; 71 to 80 tons, lOsec; 81 to 90 tons, 7sec ; 91 to 100 tons, 5sec. All cutters over 100 tons to rate as 100 tons; all yachts of 2S tons and under to allow half a minute time to these of smaller tonnage. Her Majesty's revenue cruiser Stag discharged the duties of flag- ship during the regatta, and her commander, Lieut Browne, R. N., evinced the greatest zeal, efficiency, and courtesy throughout. We regretted much to see that one of the most interesting matches in the programme of the regatta did not come off, owing, as it wag stated, to want of funds, namely, that of the race between the Royal National Lifeboat Institution's lifeboats upon this station. Surely this must have been an error, or, perhaps, overwhelmed by the pressing duties of regatta management, the committee had not time to attend to it. As to want of funds the yachtsmen in the harbour would have contributed freely had they been applied to. THE YACHT AMERICA. The introduction of the America in 1851, and her proceedings until she left our waters in 1861, have become matter of history. What has since become of her? has been frequently inquired. The last, we heard of her about that period was that she was pur- chased by a Mr Decie, that she sailed a match with the Alarm, and was unsuccessful. Her spars had been reduced by her then owner, and it was announced that she proceeded to the Mediter- ranean, and was thence bound to Australia. Some months after- wards ( in the courseof the past year) she turn, d up in one of the Southern States. Our New York correspondent tells us, by tbe last mail, that their English ' brother, sympathising with the South, either made her a present to the rebels, or, only asking a trifling sum, she was transformed into a blockade runner, per- forming several voyages, and taking to the rebels large cargoes c£ valuable stores. Upon the capture of Fernandina, State of Flo- rida, she was taken up one of the numerous creeks and scuttled, but the Federal sailors and soldiers raised her, and took their prize to Port Royal, where she was fitted out as a picket boat, and sent to the blockade station off Charleston. Here she performed excellent service, and after several months' arduous duty she was ordered north, where she was fitted out for a practice vessel for tlie midshipmen of the Naval Academy. She has made one cruise in search of the privateer Tacorij', and is at the present time lying at the Brooklyn Naval Yard. Such has been the career of this splendid yacht, lOyears of which were spent in British waters. NORFOLK AND SUFFOLK YACHT CLUB, On Friday, July 17, the challenge cup of this club was competed for 011 Wrexham Broad, the Wanderer, the previous possessor of that distinction, having been challenged by the Alabama, Mr E. S. Trafford. The Wanderer is one of the yachts owned by Mr R. J. H. Harvej', Commodore of the club, and when in the hands of Mr J, L. Barber, achieved considerable success. Both the yachts are of equal tonnage. The course sailed was the same as that marked out for the second regatta of the club on the pre- vious day, and although the attendance w as smaller, this fact was no disadvantage, but rather the reverse, as the yachts had full and uninterrupted scope in which to display their powers. The start took place at 1: 3, and five rounds were sailed, the first closing as follows :— H. M. s. I M. si. s. WANDERER 1 16 3 | ALABAMA 1 16 35 The Wanderer had thus at this point a lead of 32sec, but in the second round she walked rapidly away from her opponent, gain- ing upon her to the extent of 2min 13see. In the third round she also added 59see more to her lead. Thus the two rounds were timed as under:— SECOND EOTJND. THIRD ROUND. II. M, S. II. M. S. WANDERER 1 33 55 1 so 11 ALABAMA 1 36 40 1 53 55 In the fourth round the Alabama, which is a gracefully- rigged, white- hulled yacht, built in the winter by Hastings of Great Yarmouth, made rather a better stand, but still she lost lOsee more, and in the final round she fell further astern by another 50sec. Time:— FOURTH ROUND. FIFTH ROUND, H. M. S H. M, s. WANDERER 2 8 9 2 24 30 , ALABAMA 2 12 3 2 29 14 1 The whole distance sailed was rather more than ten miles, and, • striking an average, it appears that the Wanderer gained upon her ' opponent rather less than half a minute per mile, her total advan- | rage being 4min 44sec. The cup, of course, remains with her. i This was all the business set down for the day, but the afternoon i being yet young, a match was got up for a sweepstakes of 10g leach, to which an addition was made by Sir J. Brown and Mr : Dewing, each of these gentlemen subscribing 10s, the v? hole SUPPLEMENT TO BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JULY 26, 186B. being divided at the close among the watermen engaged. The amount altogether obtained was understood to be £ 3, but it is possible another 10s or so may have been made available through the liberality of some other member of the club. The entries were:— The Glance, 9 tons, Mr W. Steward ; the Belvidere, 9 tons, Mr W. H. Clabburne; the Bittern, 7 tons, Messrs Hansell and Morgan: and the Mvth, 9 tons, the Commodore ( Mr R. J . H. Harvey). The start took place at 3: 30 p m., and the same course was traversed four times. The Belvidere soon gained a slight lead, but there was for some time a very close and well- sustained contest between her and the Myth. The first round closed as under:— H. M. 3. I H. M. S. I IX. M. S. BELVIDERE . . . . 3 48 12 GLANCE 3 49 12 BITTERN 3 50 10 MYTH 3 48 19 | I The Belvidere had thus a scant lead of 7see at this stage, but in the second round she about doubled her distance in front. Thus:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. BELVIDERE . . . . 4 7 33 GLANCE 4 8 32 BITTERN 4 9 6 MYTH 4 7 47 | I The third round was an extremely interesting one as regards the Belvidere and Myth. The contest still continued an extremely close one, but the Belvidere succeeded in maintaining her ground, and even added lsec to her previously acquired advantage. Time :— H. M. S. I N. M. S. I H. M. S. BELVIDERE . . . . 4 27 45 GLANCE 4 29 32 BITTERN 4 29 45 MYTH 4 28 0 | I In the fourth and last round the contest between the Belvidere and Myth was of a less serious character:— H. M. s. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. BELVIDERE . . . . 4 48 5 BITTERN 4 54 23 GLANCE 4 57 2 MYTH 4 48 54 | I The Belvidere was thus declared the winner, but the stakes, as previously indicated, were divided among the watermen. The weather was fine, and the members present had a very pleasant day. The club closes its season on Oulton Broad on Thursday, Aug 6. Thus far matters have passed off very well this year, and the same success will doubtless continue. ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. The monthly meeting of this club took place on Monday, July 20, at the Caledonian Hotel, Adelphi; the Commodore in the chair. His Grace the Duke of Wellington, K G . , and Messrs F. Wood, W. Bruff, T. German Reed, Edward Dorling, W. W. F. Hay, Thomas Sturdy, Alfred Crush Auger, and K. B. Gough were duly elected members of this club. The financial statement of the club for the past half year was read, showing a large balance in the hands of the bankers, in addition to £ 300 invested in Consols. — Mr Phillips, on behalf of the sailing committee, reported the determination of the committee on the various protests entered at the match on J u n e 10, by vessels sailing in the extra match, from which it appeared that the first prize had been awarded to Mr W. W. F. Hay, the owner of the Emmet, and that the second prize of ±• 10 remained in abeyance until the correct measurement of some of the vessels was ascertained.— Mr Edward Hughes gave the following notice of motion :—" That it is highly inexpedient that the decisions which may from time te time be arrived at by any committee should find their way into the public papers, until such decisions have been laid before the club at a monthly meeting."— The Vice- Commodore moved, seconded by Mr Alexander Crosley, that the closing trip take place on Saturday, October 24, to proceed to the Union Club House at Gravesend.— Mr Farmer moved, as an amendment, that the dinner take place at the Club House at Erith, as usual, which having been seconded by Mr Ouchterlony, was put to the meeting, and lost by one vote. The original motion was then put and carried. Several gentlemen were proposed for election at the next meeting, which was then adjourned until Monday, October 19. ROYALBOSTON YACHT CLUB. The annual regatta of this club took place on Monday. J u l y 20. The chief prize was a silver cup offered bv Mr J. W. Malcolm, M. P., which provoked seven entries, viz: The Rev J . Tunnard's Vixen, 3 tons ( red, white cross) ; Mr W. Rice's Sophia, 2 tons ( red and blue) ; Mr Carline's Kitten, 5 tons ( white, blue cross) ; Mr J. Pilley's Water Witch, 7 tons ( blue, white and red cross); Mr Fossitt's Firefly, 7 tons ( blue, white ball) ; Mr Smaller's Eugenie, 4 tons ( red) ; and Mr W. H. Lewin's Nautilus, 6 tons ( red and white). At an early hour on Monday the Lioness and Cambrian steamers quitted their moorings, followed by the Unity, the Greyhound, and minor craft of every description, and at Maudfoster Sluice an animated scene presented itself. Six of the yachts named were riding at moorings opposite the sluice at 9 a. m., awaiting the signal to get'under weigh, but the Nautilus, for some reason, was not at her station at the proper time. At 9: 10 a. m. the signal gun was fired to prepare for action, and a few minutes later the starting signal was made. The wind was extremely light— what there was of it was rightahead. The yachts dropped lazily down the river Witham, and when the open sea was reached, at the expiration of about five miles, not one of them had gained any decided advantage. The Waterwitch, the Commodore's tight little cutter, and the Kitten began now to take the lead, but the latter lost some way in consequence of the Cambrian steamer and two vessels behind her running athwart her course. Notwithstanding this disadvantage, the liandy little craft made good progress, and at Elbow buoy was some 100 yards ahead of the Waterwitch. The latter, however, soon regained the lead, and the Kitten was also overhauled by the Firefly, subsiding for good and all into the third place. The Inner Rig buoy was rounded as follows :— H. M. S. I H. M. 3. I H. M. S. FIREFLT 1 10 0 KITTEN 1 14 0 EUGENIE 1 27 0 WATERWITCH .. 1 12 0 | For some distance from this point there was little or no variation, but the Waterwitch and Kitten began to press the Firefly hard, and the winning flag was rounded for the first time thus:— H. M. S. | H. M. 3. I H. M. S. FIREFLY 2 40 0 | WATERWITOH .. 2 41 0 | KITTEN 2 42 0 Shortly after this, when the Firefly was well to windward, the Waterwitch passed her, and obtained a lead from which she was not afterwards displaced. The Leverton Buoy was rounded as follows :— H. M. S. I H. M. S. | H. M. 8. WATERWITCH .. 3 43 0 | FIREFLY 3 46 0 ] KITTEN 3 51 0 I t was expected by some that in the run up the Firefly and Kitten would make up for lee way, but this hope was not realised. All sail was carried by each yacht, and after an exciting contest the winning flag was finally rounded thus :— H. M. 3. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. WATERWITCH .. 4 2L 0 | FIREFLY 4 23 0 | KITTEN 4 27 0 The Waterwitch was therefore declared the winner. The weather was beautifully fine, and the Deeps presented a pleasing sprinkling of craft. The Boston pilot sloop took down a large party of ladies and gentlemen, and fell in off Spalding Set with Mr H. Bagg's fine schooner yacht Sj- lph, of 50 tons, accompanied by the Jenny cutter, 7 tons, belonging to the same gentleman. In the evening the members of the club, with several of their friends, dined together at the White Hart Hotel, Boston, where an elegant entertainment was provided. The chair was occupied by Mr Carline, the owner of the Kitten, and the vice- cliair by Mr J . Tasker. A v ery agreeable evening was passed by the assembled party. LEANDER ROWING CLUB. The members of this club rowed a four- oared race on Monday, J u l y 20, from Hammersmith ; and judging from the fineness of the race, the excellence of the rowing, and the pace at which the fours went, the old " Brilliants" seem destined to live again in the prowess of the young bleod lately introduced into the club. The Childe Harold had been engaged to accompany the race, and was well attended, Mr Walter Bovill, the President, officiating as starter and umpire. The crews came in in the following order :— Mr Monck's crew— Centre station I Mr Berens' crew— Middlesex station 0 Mr Lloyd's crew— Surrey station 0 MR MONCK'S. MR BERENS'. j MR LLOYD'S. 1. G. Warner 1. H. Hunt 1. J . Mavnard 2. A. Major 2. H. Wilson | 2, C. Scofield 3. J. Fisher 3. B. N. Thorns | 3. H. Steward 4. H. Monck 4. E. O. Berens 4. A. O. Lloyd F. Pownall ( cox) G. Pownall ( cox) | R. Wharton ( cox) I t was one of the prettiest starts ever seen, the boat;; all going out stem and stem, and remaining so for 100 or 150 yards. Monck then began to take a slight lead, leaving the others rowing level, till they had passed the Distillery, where Mr Berens pushed his crew into second place, and at the Soap Works led Mr Lloyd by half a length, Mr Monck leading Mr Berens by haif a length beside his own. As they approached the Crab Tree Mr Berens put on some fine spurts, and animated by the shouts of his fellow members on board the steamer, drew close on to Monck's stern, and looked as though he meant winning; but at the Dung Wharf Monck shook him off, and Berens had now to ward off the attacks of Lloyd, who, stealing quietly up, was nearly over Berens's stern at Craven, and pressed him very close till near the Point. Here, however, Berens drew clear; and although the rowing throughout never diminished in vigour, the positions were never altered, Mr Monck winning by five lengths; Lloyd half that distance behind Berens. AQUATICS AT WESTMINSTER. PAIE OARS.— This race was rowed on July 9 from Chelsea to Westminster. The following crews started:— D. Williams, Lucas, Borradaile ( cox) 1 Mustard, Hammans, Neill ( cox) 0 Bandinel, Wason, Fitzgerald ( cox) 0 W. Tomilnson, Morgan, Miers ( cox) 0 After an even race to Vauxhall Bridge Lucas began to draw ahead, and won by ten lengths. Mustard and Hammans had a good race with Wason to Lambeth Bridge and beat him by eight lengths, Wason being third, Morgan fourth. SENIOR SCULLS.— This race was rowed on Saturday, J u l y 18, which day unfortunately turned out rather windy for scullers. The course was from Putney Bridge to the New Railway Bridge, Battersea. Three boats started:— F. P. Tomlinsou | E. C. Williams | F. Pownall An even start was effected, and Pownall immediately took the lead, sculling prettily. He was, however, soon caught up and passed first by Tomlinson and then by Williams. In this order they continued till off Price's Factory, when Williams steered badly, and was caught up by Pownall. Eventually Tomlinson passed under the bridge about thirty yards ahead of Pownall, three lengths separating the second and third. ROWING AT THE LATE KINGSTOWN REGATTA. MR EDITOR: AS you have up to this time always spared a little space for what ! have had to say about our rowing over here, I shall with some confidence again essay to " rush into print," the more so as the little I have to say will require very little room, for which I am sorry, as, had there been plenty of good rowing, I should have made most of the opportunity of spinning a long yarn with your permission ; instead of that, however, Kingstown'Regatta afforded very little rowing, and that of a character not up to the average. The principal event was a foureared race, to be rowed and steered by gentlemen for a purse of thirty sovs. ( I italicise these words to show that it is the custom of the country here for gentlemen to row for given money prizes, though never, that I have heard of, for so much a side.) For this prize there were three entries— one from the Liffey Rowing Club, uilS from the Kingstown Rowing Club, and one from the University Rowing Club. The Liffey were, as well as could bn judged, a good crew ; powerful, and, at the same time, sharp. The Kingst o w n men seemed hardly so good, having, owing to unavoidable acoidents, had but little practice together, t\ 70 0f the ir original crew being put hors de combat through illness within a few days of the regatta, a misfortune; which likewise occurred in the University crew, who t ad onlysat together four times, their original No 3 falling ill, and Mr Bushe at the last moment getting into the boat instead of him, and taking No 2, Mr Kough giving up that oar and taking No 3. This series of choppings and changes was not likely to result in a crew— nor did it. Great disappointment was felt when it was announced that both the Kingstown and the Liffey boats were disqualified by the Regatta Committee, as being outriggers, contrary to the published conditions of the race, but from a desire to show sport if possible, the race was postponed until the second day of the regatta, in order to give these two crews time to cast about for fair in- rigged boats. TheKingstown Club borrowed a good boat from their friendly rivals the University, but the Liffey men either could not or would not get another craft, and so were out of the race, which was easily won by the University crew, consisting of G. Farran, A. Bushe, E. Kough, C. Farran ( stroke), and D. Christian ( cox). Something might be made of this lot, but they clearly wanted a little, or rather a good deal, more time in the " magic crucible" before they would fitly represent old Trinity as we have seen her represented. The Kingstown men pulled wonderfully well, but were under the serious disadvantage of never having seen their boat before! and she moreover was banked on opposite sides from their own boat. Thus fell out the four- oared race, if such it could be called. TheLifFey men, I haveno doubt, could have won in a fair boat, and they have no one to thank but themselvesfor not having one. Thepair- oared race demands few remarks: three boats came to the post, two from the University and one from the Lifl'ey Club, the latter broke away before the former were ready, and notwithstanding the calling of them back repeatedly by the starter they persisted in rowing round the course and claiming the race. This was of course refused, and it was intimated to them that the race was to be started afresh, and that if they chose to come to the post again they could take part in it. - This they declined to do, and the two University crews were started without them, the result being that Messrs Farran and A Bushe ( tstr), D. Christian ( cox), won easily. The four- oared boats which were disqualified were built, that of the Liffey R. C., a beautiful model, by Jewett. and that of the Kingstewn R. C. by Salter ; she is by no means to be compared with Jewett's boat, being built in streaks, and altogether a much clumsier affair, though resplendent with varnish and a few stone weight of cunningly disposed nails. The University boats were, as usual, built by Teagen, at Ringsend, and were all that fair in- rigged boats ought to be. After all my promises at the beginning I fear I have been awfully garrulous. Forgive me this time and I'll never do it again.— Y o u r s , & c, QUATUOB JUNCTI IN UNA. LYNN REGATTA — It appears that this regatta has been postponed to Thursday, Aug 24. There is some talk of a roads regatta in September. Considerable apathy has prevailed in the town upon the subject, and but for the exertions of two or three individuals the whole affair would probably aave fallen to the ground. BARNES AND MORTLAXE AMATEUR REGATTA. SATURDAY, JULY 18.— Committee: Major Penrhyn, East Sheen, chairman ; the Rev T. J. Baty, Roehampton ; and Messrs W. Blunt, Barnes ; W. C. Curtis, Barnes; M. Dewsnap, Barnes; E. Dobree, Barnes; J. Draper, Barnes ; A. 8. Dunbar, Kew ; H. Gregory, Barnes; B. L. Hiscox, Barnes ; Capt Lucas, Mortlake ; H. B. M'Calmont, Barnes: E. C. Morley, Barnes ; T. Mossendew, Barnes; O. Oinmanney, Sheen ; C. J . Phillips, Mortlake; G. W. Shirreff, the Stock Exchange; Capt Walford, Richmond; J. F. Walsh, Mortlake; R. Willis, Barnes; and R. Wright, Barnes. Treasurer: T. D. Gregory, Barnes. Hon Sec: W. M. Shirreff, Barnes. This exceedingly well conducted suburban regatta came off for the twelfth time on the 18th, at Barnes, when, as usual, the prizes were of a very chaste description and worth rowing for ; the competition was for the most part very good> and there was scarcely anything to mar the serenity of this capital annual re- union of aquatic men. Perhaps some of t he races did not fill so well as could have been wished, and it cannat but fail to be a source of regret that the beautiful Challenge Cup, value 80 guineas, purchased by the committee in 1862 should have been uncontested this year; but it is not in regatta committees more than in any other mortals to command success in all their undertakings, and the Barnes committee, excellent as they are, could not prevent the London four being so good that no one would venture to compete against them. While two races only were scantily filled, however, others were uncommonly full, particularly the Junior Sculls, where twelve gentlemen entered and no less than eleven competed ; and the regatta therefore on the wholemust be looked upon as a great success, if it were only for the presence of nearly every club on the river at it, apart from other considerations. There were thirteen races set down on the card, besides scratches. All these we saw, the committee having, as before, abandoned the practice of hiring umpires' crews, and chartered the Venus, which accompanied every race. The Maria Wood state barge had been hired for the convenience of the subscribers and others, and was moored off the upper end of the Rails, near Wilcox's. On her upper deck was a gay parterre, formed by all the colours of the rainbow in dress, shawl, and bonnet, the band of the Commissionaires filling up the leisure moments with their harmony, while on the lower deck Mr Wilcox ( of the White Hart, Barnes), always a valuable assistant on this occasion, had provided an excellent cold collation, the goodness of which was clearly shown by the work the waiters had to do all day. The attendance at the regatta was extremely numerous ; so many interests were at stake that all the rowing clubs on the river showed up, and either lined the towing path, or were to be seen in the usual big gig, which conveys such ideas of comfort; and among other things movable on the river we noticed Mr Thornycroft's pretty little screw steamer the Nautilus, from Twickenham, which accompanied all the races. Mr Brickwood and other aquatic men were umpires on board the Venus, where old John Phelps had the conduot of the flags, and the races began at two o'clock with the LOCAL TRADESMEN'S OUTBIGGEDGIGS; prize Three Silver Presentation Cups ; in one heat. The numbers on the left in this and all other races denote the station, beginning from the Surrey side. Parsons and Noble, T. Wilcox ( cox) 1 J. Aikeidieatt and T. Johnson, B. Lowe ( cox) 0 The losers came away with the lead, and had drawn themselves a length away in 200 yards, but the others gradually collared them from here, drew level at the Bull's Head, and after a short struggle went into first place, were well ahead under Barnes Bridge, and won easily. JUNIOR SCULLS, for a Silver Cup, presented by Mr H. Earle. FIRST HEAT. 3. E. H. Collinge ( London Rowing Club) 1 1. C. E. Innes ( London Rowing Club) 0 2. D. T. Campbell ( North London Rowing Club) 0 Mr Ridpath ( Nautilus Rowing Club) did not start, and this, it is worthy of remark, was the only case of scratching throughout the day. Campbell came away with a slight lead, then Coliinge, Innes last, all close together for about 150 yards, when Collinge drew ahead of the lot, closely pressed by Campbell, limes rowing very wildly. At the Bull's Head, Collinge had so improved his position that he led by a length and a half, while Innes had drawn up close to Campbell's stern, and the race was most interesting between them. At Barnes Bridge two lengths separated Collinge from Campbell, the latter having shaken off limes, and left hiin a length or more astern, and this state of things continued to the White Hart, where Innes renewed his spurts. This brought Campbell closer to Collinge, and it was any one's race up to Frank Godfrey's, whenInnesdrewup alongside Campbell. The lattertried to shake h im off again, but tried in vain, and after they had raced severely for about 150 yards Innes went second, and continuing to row very pluckily to the finish, was only beaten by Coiiinge by a length and a quarter ; two lengths between the others. SECOND HEAT. 1. G. Ryan ( London Rowing Club) t 2. T. W. Hopton ( Ariel Rowing Club) t 4. J . Rickaby ( London Rowing Club) 0 3. W. A. Joyce ( London Rowing Club 0 After a vast amount of time wasted while the competitors went o their stations, they were got off in good order, Hopton starting with a lead, Rickaby second, going well and at good pace, then Ryan, Joyce last, but was third immediately afterwards. Favoured by having the best station, and keeping a good course, Rickaby led in a few strokes, and continued to do so for 200 yards, when Hopton again went in front, and continued his progressive movement till, at the end of 300 yards, he was nearly clear of every one. Ryan at this time was third, but, spurting up, he came half over Hopton at the Bull's Head; Rickaby third. The race between Hopton and Ryan continued very severe till near the Bridge, where Hopton, who had come out of his course, and been dangerously close to his opponent, rowed into him. This enabled . Rickaby to come up, and lie passed ahead through Barnes Bridge, followed by Hopton, Ryan two lengths behind. A desperate race now occurred between Hopton and Rickaby ; the latter, however, keeping too close in shore, fouled the bank several times, and just before Wilcox's Hopton went in front, but presently ran ashore, Rickaby, who was passing h im again, rowing over him. At this time Ryan was half a length astern, rowing wide, and this enabled him to go two or three lengths in front. Rickaby was the first to get clear, and rowed ahead of Hopton at a rattling pace, increasing his lead fast and drawing on Ryan. This hedid very much in the last 200 yards, and was finally only beaten for first place by a clear length, Hopton about the same behind him, Joyce nowhere. Itnmmediately after the race, which every one supposed to be finished, as Hopton had become distanced by fouling both Ryan and Rickaby, the umpire announced that he should allow Hopton to row in the final heat; and we are glad, for the vindication of the laws of boat racing, that Ryan eventually won, as we are totally at a loss to conceive by what rule or rules Hopton was entitled to row, to the exclusion of Rickaby, who had beaten him fairly in their places, and had committed no fault whatever. THIRD HEAT. 4. A. R. Pitt ( West London Rowing Club) 1 3. F. Grant ( Twickenham Rowing Club 0 2. R. G. Fisher ( Ariel Rowing Club) 0 1. C. Dickens, jun ( Nautilus Rowing Club) 0 Grant, the instant they got to work, took the lead very fast, Dickens second, Pitt next, and Fisher the last to come away. In half a dozen strokes Pitt went second, Grant rowing rapidly in front, keeping an excellent course, and rowing very prettily. In 200 yards Dickens began to steer very badly, and at the Bull's Head was four or five lengths behind Pitt, Grant one length and a half clear in front. Soon after this, Dickens going ashore, left Fisher third ; and Pitt continued to row severely in pursuit of Grant, whose lead he had decreased half a length under Barnes Bridge. Here the Twickenham mau put it on so hard with the left that he went close to the Surrey bank ; this lost him at least a length, but spurting capitally when he had righted himself, he still led when he reached the Surrey shore again, although his late erratic movement had done him no good, as Pitt was on his quarter, and gradually collaring him. Just before Godfrey's they were level, and a splendid race ensued, during which Pitt steered repeatedly dead on to the willows, and his opponent, equally wild, afterwards bored him there. Both had had about enough of it at the Ship, when Grant pulled on to his man, and although he rowed in first the foul was necessarily given against him. The whole of the above races were rowed from the bathing place below Barnes Bridge to the entrance of Kew Meadows, about a mile and a half with tide, but against a nasty cross wind, which throughout the day told its tale upon several people. FINAL HEAT. 1. G. Ryan ( London Rowing Club) 1 3. T. W. Hopton ( Ariel Rowing Club) 0 2. A. R. Pitt, ( West London Rowing Club) 0 4. E. H. Collinge ( London Rowing Club) 0 This race was rowed down from the High Bridge at Mortlake to the Bull's Head at Barnes. Previous to the start, Mr Pitt protested against Hopton starting in this heat, on the ground that there could only be one winner in Ryan's heat, and that one extra man made some considerable difference in a race, but the umpire overruled the objection. Hopton took the lead, Pitt next, Ryan third; immediately afterwards the latter became second, and collared Hopton; Pitt also rowed up again, and the race was very wild, but at the same time close, till they got to the Ship, where Ryan had obtained the lead well, and at Frank Godfrey's led by half a clear length, Pitt being just ahead of Hopton, the last two doing their utmost for pride of place. No further change occurred till they were off the committee barge, where Hopton went gradually ahead of Pitt, and Collinge, who had been astern all the way, rowed into several boats, and " shut up." Nearing Barnes Bridge, Hopton's steerage became defective, and Pitt raced up again, and they were level under the bridge, Ryan leading here by one and a half clear lengths. This lead he had slightly added to by the time they reached the winning- post, and Hopton, who had finally left Pitt soon after the Bridge, was second by two lengths. OUTRIGGED GIGS, for Three Silver- mounted Claret Jugs :— FIRST HEAT. 1. J. S. Earle, W. P. Cecil, B. Cecil ( cox) ( Ilex Rowing Club).. 1 3. J. C. Doran, C. Dickens, jun, E. Wcston( cox)( NautilusR. C.).. 0 2. W. Boucher, J. Paul, G. Taylor ( cox) ( North London R. C.) 0 A scrambling start, in which the Ilex pair were steadiest, was succeeded by a level race for fifty yards, and then the Nautilus pair, aided by their station, drew out ahead, and were soon clear of the North London, the Ilex party dropping behind and steering badly. This continued till they were near the Bull's Head, where the North London pair, putting on a spurt, drew on the Nautilus's quarter; and at the same time the Ilex, rowing a good steady stroke, passed into first place, leading by half a clear length at the bridge. Just previous to this Mr Paul, iu the North London boat, had put on so good a spurt that they drew level with the Nautilus, and a rattling race went on between them ( the North London coxwain boring very much) till opposite Wilcox's. Here the Nautilus pair went nearly clear, but Paul and Co drew half over them again, and they were beyond Godfrey's before the Nautilus party shook their opponents off, there being a gap of a few feet between them at the finish. The Ilex pair won easily. SECOND HEAT. 2. J. E. Brain, A. Heron, J . C. Kearns ( cox) ( Excelsior B. C.). 1 3. W. Moxon, W. F. Lowe, J. Musgrave ( cox) ( London R. C.) 0 1. A. Powell and C. Powell, g, K, Powell ( cox) 0 The last- named, wtierevs'r they may have come from, evidently knew but little about rowing, as the coxswain came to the post in a black hat, and on the word " Off" being given, held on by the bung attached to the starting buoy, and although repeatedly shouted to to leave go and row on, persisted in holding on, apparently under the impression that he was to take the buoy with him, and there he remained till the bend in the river shut him from the view. Meanwhile the Londoners led soon after the start, and at one time were clear; but the Excelsiors, with a long, sweeping stroke just fitted for gigs, drew level in 300 yards, and led by a clear length at the Bull's Head. This lead they increased as they pleased, and won easily by three lengths. THIRD HEAT. 4. A. A. Julius and S. H. Alexander, S. A. Julius ( cox)( Barnes) 3. R. Willis ana II. B. M'Calmont, H. Gregory ( cox)( Barnes) 2. E. C. Morley and J. Farley, F. Hornby ( cox) ( London R. C.) 1. W. Atkinson and R. Wontner, C. Brown ( cox) ( Oatlands).. They started well, and were together for a hundred yards or so, and then the Oatlands pair ( who were very young) fell out, and Julius and Alexander ( who were equally youthful) began to assume the lead, and ploughed away till they were nearly a clear length in front at the Bull's Head ; and although their style was far from pretty, being such as one is accustomed to see practised round the coast, they pulled with such vigour and determination, as to give their more mature rivals no chance whatever. The London pair remained second to Barnes Bridge, but here Willis and M'Calmont began to press them very closely, and soon afterwards drawing level, there was another of the excellent races with which this regatta was so rife, and which lasted till close to home, where Willis and M- Calmont at length wrested the second place from the London pair. Julius and Alexander won by four lengths; a length between second and third. Oatlands did not reach the post. All the above heats were rowed up from the bathing place to Kew Meadows, the distance in the final heat being reversed. FINAL HEAT. 2. Earle and Cecil, Cecil ( cox) ( Ilex Rowing Club) 1 3. Julius and Alexander, Julius ( cox) ( Barnes) 0 1. Brain and Ilerron, Kearns ( cox) ( Excelsior Boat Club).... 0 The Ilex pair at once assumed the lead, and, although it was never a very long one, held it easily ali the way, winning by a length and a half. The Excelsior party were secand in the start, and continued so till they were near the Ship, when Julius and Alexander passed them, and the Excelsiors, although they tried afterwards, were virtually out of the race ; Mr Herron's exertions in the Junior Four- oared Race, the one immediately preceding this, having rendered him totally unfit to row without rest, in addition to which we hear that he had to run the length along the bank to be in time to start in this race, which was fixed much too soon after the fours. SENIOR SCULLS, for a handsome Salver; in one heat. 2. J. E. Parker ( University College, Oxford) 1 1. L. P. Brickwood ( Hammersmith) 0 I t would be ridiculous to call this a race, as Mr Parker might have won by half a mile had he pleased.

Herron The appearance of four of the importantW . m Cehtarormpoanli t( acno x) c lubs ranged side by side created more interest than ha3 been seen for any junior four- oared race for a length of time, each club of course having its friends and supporters; all the sixteen eyes were intently fixed on the umpire, each boat being anxious to obtain the lead, and the honour of beating a rival club was of greater importance to them than even the pots themselves. The distance was f r om Barker's Rails to the Bull's Head, Barnes. The start was very fine, West London having a little the best of it, but immediately afterwards the North Londoners came out at great pace, and went full half their length ahead of West London ; after these came a gap of two lengths, and then the Ariels and Corsairs might be seen dead level, all interest in the headmost crews being entirely lost, as far as the sternmost boats were concerned. The West London boat drew up soon afterwards slightly over the North London crew ; there were consequently two fine races going on at the same time, and both lasted till off the Ship, where the Ariels, aided by good steerage, began to leave their old rivals, and at the same moment Mr Pitt putting on a lively spurt, the West London crew rapidly went in front and headed the North Londoners by a clear length at the Brewery. To add to the latter's discomfiture their coxswain took them a bad course, and passing under Barnes Bridge the West Londoners led them by two lengths. The North London crew were here about the same ahead of the Ariels, who headed the Corsairs by a length and a half, the latter's coxswain steering them very badly at times, or they would probably have been much nearer their opponents. The above positions were maintained to the finish, when there were about the same gaps between them. PAIR- OARS, for Two Silver Presentation Cups. 2 H. Ilood and F. Fenner ( London Rowing Club) 1 1. C'. Schlotel and T. Hale ( London Rowing Club) 0 3. F. W. Bryant and F. J. Tyler ( West London Rowing Club) 0 4. Bennett and Welch ( Guy's Boat Club) 0 This was a very wild race right through; Hood and partner took the lead, the West London pair second, Guy's Boat Club last. These relative positions were maintained till they were off the Chancellor's, a desperate race going on all the time between Hood and Fenner and the West London pair. At this point the former went in front, and Bryant and Tyler were rowing hotly in pursuit, when Schlotel and Hale came dashing along, without any regard to where they were going, and ran into Bryant and Tyler so badly that both were stopped some time, during which Hood and Fenner went right away, and won easily. The other London pair and the West Londoners, on getting clear, had a rattling ding dong race till Schlotel and Hale went second, and in these positions they remained right home. The Guy's boys rowed very well, but were overmatched. The Junior Scullers Race ( final heat) was the last race on the card, and this was followed by two scratch races, after which the prizes were presented on the committee barge by Mr Ma'k Dewsnap, and the proceedings were closed by a supper, which, as usual, did Mr Wilcox great credit, and was patronised by a large number of the competitors. This was held on board the barge, and the company did not separate till long after the last train had started for London. GREENWICH REGATTA.— The eighty- sixth Greenwich annual regatta, for a new boat and sundry money prizes, came off on Monday, July 20, with the following results:— First heat: R. Showell I, James Thornton 2, G. Newton 0. Won easily.— Second heat: J . Cheesman 1, W. Young 2, W. Watkins 0. Watkins, after leading for some distance, was passed easily by the other two; then, after a struggle for first place, Cheesman went ahead and won as he liked.— Third heat: W. Young 1, J . Thornton 2, W. Watkins 0, G. Newton 0. This was a very hollow affair, Young winning as he pleased, the other three very close together.— Fourth heat: J. Cheesman 1, R. Showell 2, J. Thornton 0, W. Young 0. Cheesman and Showell soon left the others, and rowed a fine race all the way home. Won by a length.— Final heat: J. Cheesman 1, R. Showell 0. Showell led three parts of the distance, but going too near in- shore was passed, and defeated by six lengths. The regatta was very well conducted under the management oi Thomas and Everson. THE " IPSWICH'' LIFEBOAT.— Reference was made last week to the presentation of one of the medals of the National Lifeboat Institution to William Alexauder, coxswain of the Ipswich lifeboat, for his gallant services. It appears that before the Ipswich was placed at Thorpe Ness, Alexander rendered good service in saving the lives ot shipwrecked crews, and from 1854 to 1863 no fewer than 38 lives were saved in all through his personal exertions aud directions. Mr W. B. Byng, a gentleman who has taken an active part in promoting the interests of the National Lifeboat Institution in Suffolk, stated at the presentation meeting that the society had now granted 800 medals, seven of which had been given to coxswains of lifeboats. It appears from statistics read bv Mr Byng that the number of persons saved from shipwreck'in 1858 was 1,157 ( 399 by lifeboats, 507 by rockets, 243 by ships and steamboats, and eight by individuals) ; in 1859, 1,555 ( 206 by lifeboats, 210 by rockets, 1,113 by ships and steamboats, and 26 by individuals) ; in 1860, 2,332 ( 291 by lifeboats, 260 by rockets, 1,775 by ships and steamboats, and bix by individuals) ; in 1861, 3,697 ( 326 by lifeboats, 408 by rockets, 2,949 by ships and steamboats, and 14 by individuals); and in 1862, 4,624 ( 743 by lifeboats, 447 by rockets, 3,406 byr ships and steamboats, and 28 by individuals).

CHESS PLAYER'S MAGAZINE.— We have received t h e first number of a new monthly chess miscellany, which promises to fill up the gap long felt in chess literature by the want of a British chess magazine. Herr Harrwitz is editor of this new serial, and will be backed up by the learned pens of Horwitz and Kling in analysing the novelties, openings, and subtle ends of games; while the problem department will be mainly attended to by the chief English professor of that ingenious art, Mr Healey. It is proposed to give thirty- two pages, closely printed, for a single shilling; and subscribers sending their names at once to Mr Owen, the publisher, 67, Strand, can have the two first numbers, July and August, returned by post. The Chess Player's Magazine comes out under the especial patronage of the clubs of London, Paris, Liverpool, and Manchester; and Mr Paul Morphy will, we are informed, give t h e aid of his powerful influence to promote its circulation. The first number contains games played recently in Paris by Morphy and De Riviere, by Deacon, Steinitz, Harrwitz, Healey, Von Der Lasa, & c, with original problems composed by Healey, Kling, and Grosdemange. No contemporary author or player has done more for chess than Herr Harrwitz, and we heartily wish h im the success in his new undertaking his past exertions so richly merit. PEDESTRIANISM. NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.— In future all advertisements for this department of Bell's Life in London must reach our office on Thursdays, before four o'clock, or they will not be inserted until the following week. They must not exceed seven lines in length, or they will be charged double, and so on in proportion for every succeeding seven lines.

PEDESTRIANISM AT BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICTS ASTON CROSS GROUNDS.— Owing to the extensive alterations making in the pedestrian portion of the above grounds no matches have come off, nor have we any down worthy of notice as coming off during the forthcoming week. DEAKEN AND EAVES.— The 130 yards match, for £ 5 a side, between these well- known pedestrians is going on. £ 2 a side is down in the hands of Mr J . Coates, the final stakeholder and referee, and a further deposit of £ 1 a side must be made on Monday, J u l y 27, to Mr Clulee, of Aston Cross. The race stands to come off at the above grounds on Aug 1. ASH TREE GROUNDS, TIVIDALE.— On Monday, J u l y 20, we have to record another large attendance here to witness the six score yards match, for £ 5 a side, between Acland of Dudley Port and Whiteley of Westbromwich. At three o'clock the men got to scratch, both looking in good t r im ; the betting 5 to 4 on Acland at commencement, and then 6 to 5 on Whiteley. After several attempts the men got off an excellent race, Acland running in a winner by a yard. A. NEVVEY AND L. DOVEY.— These men made their appearance on the ground to run their 100 yards match, for £ 5 a side. T. Thomas was the appointed referee. The articles stated that the men were to go by the pull of a handkerchief. Each looked in pretty good trim. A Mr Pointer was the perspn chosen to pull the handkerchief, and according to his statement he asked the men if they were ready, and they said they were. He pulled, when Dovey got away and ran the distance, and Newey remained on the mark, Dovey therefore claims the stakes. N EW VAUXHALL GARDENS, WOLVERHAMPTON.— W. WILLIAMS AND STEVENTON.— The half mile match, for £ 5 a side, between these well- known midland men came off on J u l y 21, at the above grounds, in presence of a good number. Both men appeared in first- rate condition. After several attempts the men got away, and a well- contested race took place, both men running ki first- rate style, Williams keeping a slight lead for the greater portion of the distance, but towards the latter part spurted forward, and won by two yards. W. WAITHMAN AND T.

Money ready at Rowbotham's, Black Lion, Hurst- street. COPENHAGEN GROUNDS, MANCHESTER. SATURDAY, JULY 18.— CANINE RACE.— The attendance os visitors at the above grounds this afternoon was small, only one event being arranged to come off. This was a race of 200 yards, for £ 10 a side, between F. Ford's Dart of Lockwood, near Huddersfield, and A. Squire's Lill of Gawthorpe, Yorkshire. The conditions were that Dart should not exceed 201b, nor Lill 251b weight, and Dart to have 10 yards start. The betting was even and 5 to 4 on Ford's dog. Mr J. Taylor discharged the duties of referee. Dart proved the winner, after a good race, by half a yard. MONDAY.— RABBIT COURSING.— The whole of the events, four in number, decided here to- day were confined to quadrupeds, there being a goodly number of canine admirers present, and the betting upon one or two of the contests was spirited. The chief match lay between J. Holmes's Venus of Longton, Staffordshire, and S. Oakes's bitch Famous of Tunstall, it being for £ 10 a side, 8 out of 15 courses, 40 yards law, at catch weights. The betting was 2 to 1 on Famous, but she lost the event by 3 rabbits, having only caught 5 to Venus's 8.— Another match, for £ 5 a side, also came off', the animals being J. Heaton's Bet of Burslem and T. Hallam's Bess of Longton, 8 out of 15, 60 yards law, neither dog exceeding 211b weight. The betting was 6 to 4 on Bet. The contest was, however, won by Bess, who secured 8 to Bet's 4.— Two sweepstakes were also decided, the first of which was won by Wild's Spark of Gorton, near Manchester, Porter's Bell running up; and the other was Garried off by Gregson's Spring, Wild' Spark gaining second honours. RABBIT MATCH.— J. Robinson of Ashton has matched his bitch Lucy against T. Pearson's Music of Bolton, at rabbits, 11 out of 21 courses, 40 yards law, for £ 10 a side, neither dog to exceed 131b weight. The contest is to take place at these grounds on Aug 17, and Mr Hayes, who has bec- n appointed stakeholder, now holds £ 1 each on account of it. PIGEON SHOOTING.— Mr J . Jackson of Barkisland, Yorkshire, and Mr J . Garside of Rishworth were to have met here on Saturday, J u l y 25, to shoot at 15 birds each, for £ 25 a side, with 1 Joz shot, 21 yards rise, and 80 boundary. Mr Hayes had been selected to fill the offices of stakeholder and referee, £ 10 was in his hands, and the first bird was to have been trapped at two o'clock.

PARK INN GROUNDS, PRESTWICH, MANCHESTER. BARKER AND BAKER.— The race of 140 yards, for £ 5 a side, between H. Barker and G.

S A T U R D A Y , JULY 18.— ONE MILE AND A QUARTER SWEEPSTAKES.— When four pedestrians of such acknowledged ability as those who were advertised to appear here to- day are brought together, it is only natural that a large number of the adherents of the invigorating pastime should be anxious to watch the performance. The brilliant July weather, too, furnished another inducement, and thus these combined attractions caused nearly 3,000 persons, we should imagine, to favour the locality of Bradford with a visit. The conditions of the event to be decided set forth that it should be a sweepstakes, distance one mile and a quarter, each man entering being required to pay a fee of £ 20, to which £ 39 would be added. Eventually four pedestrians intimated their intention to compete, namely, J. White of Gateshead, P. Stapleton of Btaleybridge, W. Lang of Middlesborough, and S. Albison, of the village of Bowlee, near Middleton. By their previous excellent performances on the course, each of these men has gained a much more than ordinary reputation, of which many of our readers are so fully cognisant, that it is unnecessary further to allude to them on the present occasion. Mr Holden filled t h e office of referee, and to complete the distance of a mile and a quarter the pedestrians had to run Iwo laps and 600 yards. The betting was only remarkable for its insignificance; but this may, in some measure, be accounted for by the fact of Lang having, on J u ly 11, beaten Sanderson of Wliitworth, near Rochdale, easily in a race of one mile, for £ 25 a side, in the extraordinary short period of 4min 21fsec, and hence he was, of course, almost solely fancied as the probable victor this afternoon. Odds of 3 to 1 were, therefore, offered on him. White seeming to be next in favour, but the betting, with the exception of Lang, does not merit quotation. The men having toed the mark shortly after five o'clock, the signal gun was fired, and at a comparatively easy pace, Stapleton soon began to cut out the work, Lang going on next, with White and Albison in the rear. The speed at which 8tapleton made the running not appearing to suit Lang, the Middlesborough hero passed him, and with Stapleton second, White third, and Albison last, Lang went gaily along on his easy journey. During the next revolution of the ground the favourite still held the supremacy, but Stapleton, prior to its completion, improved his position, and caine up alongside Lang, White retaining the third position, Albison toiling hopelessly on nearly 30 yards behind. Stapleton subsequently for a short distance headed the contest, but he was not long permitted to hold the honour, as Lang again gave him the go- by at. the far side, and was once more soon several yards in advance. Lang's victory was then placed beyond doubt, and a good struggle ensued between Stapleton and White for second place ; but the latter, finding he could not secure the £ 10 offered for that " situation,'' retired from the contest, which Albison had previously done, and Lang went in an easy winner, half a dozen yards in front of Btapleton. The winner was warmly greeted on having added another wreath to his previously well- adorned chaplet, by placing the first prize of £ 100 to his name in five minutes and thirty seconds, one mile being gone over in4min 29sec. EAENSHAW AND WILLIAMSON.— Mr Holden was in possession of the full amount of the stakes (£ 15 each) for the race of 120 yards between J . Earnshaw of Thonsbridge and A. Williamson of Pendleton, which was to come off at this place on J u l y 25. The men were to start at five o'clock. SANDERSON AND LANG.— The race of two miles, for £ 25 a side, between these men is to be decided here on Aug 1, at five o'clock. Mr Holden has received £ 20 each, and he is to be referee. The final deposit became due on J u l y 25. SCHOFIELD AND HEAP.— These pedestrians have now handed to Mr Holden £ 15 each on account of their race of 280 yards, for £ 25 a side, which is fixed for Aug 3, at these grounds. £ 5 each more is to be paid on J u l y 27. CANINE.— J. Nuttall's Nigger of Radcliffe and J. Wormould's Spark of Rochdale were to run 200 yards, for £ 10 a side, here, on July 25; neither to exceed 161b weight, and Spark to have one yard start. The event was to come off at five o'clock. RABBIT COURSING.— J. Heaton's Bet of Burslem and H. Smith's Liz of Penkall are matched, for £ 10 a side, at rabbits, 11 out of 21 courses, 60 yards law, Bet not to exceed 211b, nor Liz 221b weight. The contest is to be decided here on Aug 3. Mr Holden has received £ 2 10s each, and a similar sum is to be put down Tuesda}', July 28. SHEFFIELD AND NEIGHBOURHOOD. THE 250 YARDS ALL ENGLAND HANDICAP RACE.— MORE DISGRACEFUL PROCEEDINGS AT SHEFFIELD.— On M o n d a y a nd Tuesday, July 20 and 21, Hyde Park Ground, at Sheffield, was visited by a great number of persons interested in foot racing, to witness the srreat All England Handicap Race of the above distance, got up under the management of Mr W. Pitts, the host of the Old Black Boy, Bailey- lane, Sheffield, who gave the following prizes to be run for, viz:—£ 20 for the winner, £ 2 for the second, and £ 1 for the third. Very little speculation took place on this event until within a day or two before the race, when " Cobbler Wood,'' who had 64 yards start in this race, and had also very recently won two other handicaps, suddenly became the first favourite, as little as 3 and 4 to 1 being taken about him. Woodcock, who was reported to have run a very good trial in private, was also backed at prices ranging at from 6 to 1 to 8 to 1. Crudgington of London was also supported for a good stake at 4 and 5 to 1. Old R . Preston of Malton also found some supporters at long shots, one well- known Sheffield bookmaker betting him £ 100 to £ 2, and a friend £ 40 to £ 2. Swift was also backed at £ 40 to £ 2, with offers to " go on." Several others were also supported at 7 and 8 to 1 ; but still no serious amount of money was put on until Monday, the day of the race, when the betting was 3 to 1 on the field, bar one, at which a lot of the circulating medium was put on, the next in demand being Woodcock, who, as we have stated before, was also well supported by his backer and a few friends. Very little interest, however, appeared to be attached to the handicap until the fifth heat was concluded, which was won by T. Wood, when he at once became the first favourite. Ultimately, however, another " crack" came out in G. Woodcock, who showed such a performance that the backers of Wood were completely nonplussed, and Woodcock became the favourite against the field at 2 to 1. The backers of Wood, so it turns out, were " determined to win and not lose," got to Woodcock some time on Monday night, and " squared him," giving him, we are informed, a sum of money to absent himself on the Tuesday, thereby making Wood's chance certain. The above proceeding's reaching the ears of the backer of " t h e Woodcock," he immediately engaged a lot of " roughs" to stop the race unless all " bets were declared off," and then let the men run off for the prizes. Ultimately this course was adopted, not, however, until a very serious disturbance had taken place, during which several knives, which were evidently brought by the opposite party, were pulled out, We give the result of each heat.— Lot 1: A. Siddall 68 yards start, walked over.— Lot 2: W. Knight of London 60, walked over.— Lot 3: J. Stoakes of Bloxwich 66, 1; G Nolan of Manchester 62, 2; F. Glossop 70, 3. Won by two yards, three yards between second and third.— Lot 4: H. Btones 67, 1; T. Moore 70, 2; W. Whittle of Chorley 54, 3. Won by five yards, about seven yards between second and third.— Lot 5: T. Wood ( alias Cobbler) 64. 1; G. Swift 64,2. Won easily by half a score yards.— Lot 6: This heat was a blank, rot one of the men putting in an appearance.— Lot 7 : R. Prestsn of Malton 69,1; T. Frances 70, 2 ; W. Columbine 66, 3. This was a good race. Won by three- quarters of a yard.— Lot 8: J. Sawyer of Almondbury 58, walked over.— Lot 9: A. Crudgington of London 60, 1 ; J . Connor 70, 2; G. Buxton of Nottingham 62, 3. Won by three- quarters of a yard.— Lot 10: G. Woodcock 66, 1; J. Spence of Manchester 59, 2. Won by half a score yards.— Lot 11: W. Timperley 65, walked over. On Monday evening the winners of the above heats were drawn, to run off, in three heats, on the following day ( Tuesday), when, as we have stated above, the disturbance took place, which we need not recapitulate here. All bets were " declared off," and the winners on Monday ran off as follows:— Lot 1 : T. Wood 64, 1; H. Stones 67,2. Won by a yard and a half— Lot 2: A. Crudgington of London 60, walked over.— Lot 3 : R. Preston of Malton 69, walked over.— Deciding heat: T. Wood 64, 1; R. Preston 69, 2; A. Crudgington 60, 3. Wood won just as he liked at the finish by four or five yards. Several parties, who were the chief instigators of the disturbance, have been apprehended, and were to have been brought before the Sheffield magistrates on Thursday last. We had almost omitted to state that our reporter refused to officiate as referee, and that Mr P. Carr, a gentleman well- known in sporting circles, undertook the unthankful office. No blame whatever is attached to the proprietor of the ground, who used his utmost endeavours to bring the affair off in a satisfactory manner. HYDE PARK, SHEFFIELD.— Mr J. Boothroyd, proprietor of this ground, will give £ 35 to be run for in a handicap, distance a lap and 100 yards, on Monday and Tuesday, Aug 31 and Bept 1. Entrance 2s, and 4s to accept. All entries to be made as above not later than Aug 12. Anyone entering falsely will be disqualified. Stamps taken as cash. Entries can also be made at J. Darley's, Green Dragon, Fargate; and Mr W. Pitt's, Old Black Boy, Baileylane, Sheffield. QUEEN'S HOTEL, SHEFFIELD.— NOTICE OF POSTPONEMENT.— Mr C. Whitwortb's Great All England Handicap has been postponed. Due notice will appear in this paper. PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW. OWDITT AND TODMAN.— On Saturday, July 18, these pedestrians met on C. Wilson's enclosed ground, the Olympia, Bow, to run 120 yards, for £ 5 a side, there being a good attendance. Owditt had to be allowed a yard on the inside, and all being in readiness, the competitors came to the mark, having to go by mutual consent. The odds were 6 to 4 on Owditt, but there was not much money speculated on the result. After some few attempts they got off in capital style, and after a well- contested race Owditt, who maintained the advantage of position from end to end, went in a winner by two yards. ECCLESTON AND EEES.— These pedestrians likewise ran 150 yards, for £ 10 a side, The betting, which opened at 6 to 4, left off at 2 to 1 on Rees, there bsing a great deal of money speculated. The competitors had to go by mutual consent, and J . Pudney, the M. C., as in the preceding race, was chosen to act as referee. Alter remaining on the mark some few minutes, and having some half allien " runs out,'' thej' succeeded in getting fairly away, the start being in favour of Rees, who gained fully a yard on his opponent. The race on the part of both was well sustained, but, notwithstanding the strenuous efforts of Eccleston, he could not close up the gap between himself and competitor, so that Eees held the lead from the commencement to the finish, and, amidst the deafening cheers of his friends, landed at the goal the winner by two yards. ' DUNN AND NEAL.— This was a walk of three miles, for £ 5 a side, Neal being allowed 100 yards. Dunn from the start gained upon his man in a most decided manner, and had so improved his position that when two miles and a half had been covered he had wrested the lead from his opponent, and so far left him in the rear that Neal, finding he had no chance, did not walk the whole of the distance out; therefore Dunn went in an easy winner. The first two miles were walked by the winner in 16min 30sec. DARBY AND DARLEY.— These pedestrians also contended in a spin of five miles, for £ 5 a side, which was won easily by Darley. DAVIS AND WESTON — This was a spin of once round the ground, for a " fiver" a side, Davis being allowed 10 yards start. The men got off in admirable style, and after a rattling struggle Davis, who maintained the superiority of position throughout, went in a fine winner, Weston at most riot gaining more than six yards out of the distance he had allowed his opponent at starting. INNES AND OWEN.— On Monday, July 20, these pedestrians met here to run 440 yards, for £ 5 a side, there again being a capital attendance of the metropolitans. The betting was 5 to 4 on Innes. J. Pudney, the M. C., acted as referee, H. A. Reed being selected to fire the pistol. On getting off the competitors ran well together for the first 200 yards, when Owen, in a fine spurt, went right away from his man, Innes being so completely beaten off that he pulled up and resigned when within 30 yards of the finish. SNIPE INN, AUDENSHAW. WRESTLING.— BCHORA AND MEADOWCROFT.— Mr T. W a r r en has received the whole of the money, £ 25 a side, for the match between these men, to come off here on Saturday, J u l y 25. To be in the ring at three o'clock precisely.

SALF0RD BOROUGH GROUNDSTHE 115 YARDS HANDICAP.— This handicap has been postponed until Aug 22 and 24. in consequence of the former fixture clashing with one at Sheffield ; the entry, Is 6d each, will therefore be left open until Tuesday, Aug 4. at Mr G. Hardy's, Rising Sun, Swan- street, Manchester ; or at Mrs Attenbury's, Borough Inn, Kegent- road, Balford. First prize £ 20, second £ 2, third £ 1. PASSING EVENTS. SOUNDING NIAGARA RIVER.— The gentleman who has been trying the experiment of sounding the river Niagara below the Falls writes as follows:—" Another attempt was made with a similar iron of about ten pounds weight, attached to a No. 11 wire, all freely suspended, so as not to impede the fall of the weight. I then let the weight fall from the bridge, at the height of 225 feet. It stmck the surface fairly, with the point down, must have sunk to some depth, but was no longer out of sight than one second, when it made its appearance again on the surface, about 100 feet down the stream, and skipped along like a chip until it was checked by the wire. We then commenced hauling in slowly, which made the iron bounce like a ball, when a cake of ice struck it and ended the sport. I am satisfied that no metal has sufficient specific gravity to pierce that current, even with a momentum acquired by a fall of 225 feet. The velocity of the iron, when striking, must have been equal to 124 feet per second, and consequently its momentum was near 5,000 pounds. Its surface opposed to the current was about 50 superficial inches. This will give an idea of the strength of that current.''— Canadian paper. LEAVING A TRAIN IN MOTION.— On Tuesday night, at a late hour, a fatal accident occurred to a woman about forty years of age, at the Blackheath station of the North Kent Railway. It appears that the deceased, who was a cook iu the service of Mr Kidd, a medical man, residing at Linden House, Lee, was a passenger by the 10 p. m. down train. On arriving at the station, but before the train was brought to a stand, she thoughtlessly left the carriage in which she was seated. She lost her footing and fell between the platform and the metals, the wheels of the succeeding carriages passing over her, and breaking a leg arid arm, besides lacerating her breasts in a frightful manner. Dr South was almost in immediate attendance, and rendered every possible assistance to the unfortunate sufferer, who was removed to Guy's Hospital. She expired soon after lier admittance. PIRACY AND MURDER ON BOARD A BRITISH SHIP.— A c a s e Opiracy and murder on board the British ship Beatrice, from Lon. don to Hong Kong, has been reported at Lloyd's. Four English seamen, named Timothy Driscles, George Bailey, Charles Atkins, and William Hardy, were charged before the Supreme Court at Hong Kong with the murder of Mr John Adams, the chief officer Qf the ship. During the voyage, up to the night of the attempt to seize the ship, there did not appear to have been much discipline kept on board, for the crew were in the habit of getting into the hold and drinking the wine and spirits. The murder of Mr Adams took place on the night of the 10th of February, when most of the hands were in liquor. Captain Taylor, the master, was in his cabin, and the deceased officer had charge of the deck. He was sitting on a hencoop when one of the prisoners struck him a heavy blow on the head, when Atkins picked him up and threw him overboard. The poor fellow screamed " Murder ! Help !'' several times, but no effort was made to save him. The prisoners then went to the cabin, and endeavoured to secure the captain and rest of the officers, and in the affray the second officer shot one of the mutineers dead on the spot, which had the effect of subduing the violence of the prisoners, and they were then secured and placed in irons. The jury found Driscles, Hardy, and Bailey guilty of piracy, and Atkins euilty of murder. The latter prisoner was ordered to be hanged, and the other three prisoners were sentenced to penal servitude. FATAL ACCIDENT ON A CRICKET GROUND.— On M o n d a y e v e n - ing an accident occurred on the cricket ground, Dudley, by which a boy named Henry Berry, aged eight years, lost his life. Deceased was the son of George Berry, well known in the town as a professional cricketer, and employed by the members of the cricket club. The little fellow was daily in the habit of attending the ground, and fielding in h s own way for the gentlemen who were practising, and it was while so engaged that he met with his death. Deceased on the evening in question had been for some hours occupied in the manner above named, and it seemed to be his especial delight to manifest such skill in cricket as he was master of. At about haif- pa6t eight o'clock Mr C. Hewitt was batting to Mr Bradbury's bowling, and after a few balls had been played, and some very excellent hits made, a ball from Mr Hewitt's bat struck the deceased, he at this time not being more then a few yards from the opposite wicket. The ball struck him upon the st. mach, and he was seen to jump up as if involuntarily, heard to utter a shriek, and then he fell on the turf insensible, and never spoke afterwards. There were a great number of gentlemen engaged in different parts of the spacious ground at the time, but instantly all play ceased, and each manifested the most anxious solicitude for the sufferer. Mr Hewitt was deeply aft'ected by the occurrence. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY, JULY 21. from ! Drags : F. Morton to be lieut, v Glyri; W". G.

SUPPLEMENT TO BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JULY 26, 1863. CRICKET. GENTLEMEN OF SUSSEX v GENTLEMEN OF HANTS. This match was played at Brighton on July 6, 7, and 8. The Hants Gentlemen went short handed, but found an able substitute in Mr Campbell. The splendid wickets caused some first- rate cricket to be shown, except perhaps the fielding of emergencies on the Hants side, the slows no doubt winning the match for Hants.

NORTH NORTHAMPTONSHIRE v CAPT POLHILL TURNER'S ELEVEN. This match was played on July 13 and 14, at Honbury Park, the hospitable seat of Capt Polhill Turner. The N. N. C. were full of ardour, but were doomed to defeat, although not inglorious j but, unprepared for such talent, what provincial eleven can with- stand the V. E., the " old- un," and the brothers Waller opposed to them? But " Never say die'' is the motto of the N. N. C.; so at it they went. In the first innings, the 73 ( not out) of H. H. G. was a masterpiece ; the33 of H. R. T. " glorious ;" the20 of C. J. V. aerial But, alas! for the fortunes of cricket. The champagne of the hospitable captain at night, and the " slow juice" of the V. E. in the morning, were too much for the nerves of the N. N. C., and they lost by nine wickets. On the other side, the V. E.' s 33 • was in his his usual style; Mr Pope played a steady innings for 58, and Mr Weighell ( a young player) batted well for 25.

This one- day? l » » t£ h was played on the Civil Bervice ground in Battersea Park on wkmday, July 20. The wickets were rather too lively, and decidealy- iii favour of the bowlers. The Civil Service won the toss, and wehtjn, but were disposed of without much trouble, Mr Kirkpatrick being the only one who succeeded in making double figures; nine of their wickets fell for 37 runs, but their opponents, thinking this too small a score to go in against, allowed the two remaining men to pull up the total to 63. In the same kind spirit the Essex gentlemen forbore to make a long score themselves, or it may have been the luncheon, or the light,, but they were content with a total of 70; nevertheless, Mr Griffith did bowl well, and won a ribbon for three consecutive wickets; and Mr Fane did not make his usual 50, nor Mr Spencer 100, though Mr Tabor showed them how they ought to have be- haved under such circumstances. Among Capt Bazalgette's figures were a five, & c. In their second innings the Civil Service • were more successful, but time was called, and in defiance of the Marylebone Club and its honorary secretary the Men of Essex would persist in claiming the victory. If, however, Mr Fiss- gerald wishes to bring an action against the offenders, the Civil Bervice will give him their cordial support.

This match was played at Great Yarmouth on Thursday, J uly 16. Unfortunately, owing to the very short time available for making it up, it was rather a scratch affair, three of the best Naval men being absent, and doubtless, from the same cause, the Yarmouth C., included their professional bowler ( Hurr) and two or three visitors in their team. One of the latter was instru- mental in taking no less than seven wickets in the first innings. The Channel Fleet Eleven cannot help expressing ( through the medium of your widely- circulated paper) a hope that in future matches, which they will be happy to play at any place the Fleet may call at, their opponents team will consist of those who challenge or are challenged; as from the small amount of practice, obtainable by naval men, they cannot aspire to any great amount of cricketing proficiency.

OFFICERS 9TH BRIGADE R. A. v OFFICERS R. A WOOLWICH. This match was played at Woolwich on July 3 and 4. The Officers of Woolwich in their two innings made exactly 400 runs, by good play. Capt Newbolt 14 and 63, Lieut Edmeades 43 and 13, and H. Brackenbury 33 and 21. Major Godby was in upwards of two hours for 27 in the second innings. The 9th Brigade in their two innings ( with one wicket to fall) obtained only 230, thus in reality leaving the match a draw, but it is supposed they consider themselves beaten.

This match was played at the ground of the former, July 4. Rea- burn Park was numerously and fashionably attended; the splendid bands of the 3d Hussars and 2oth King's Own Borderers were on the ground, and played alternately. When time was called, the score stood as follows. The batting of G. Duniop and A. Cheyne, on the part of the Academicals, was much admired, as was also the batting of Turner, Hawkos, Lambton, and Pender on the part of the garrison. Score : GRANGE. H. Moncrieff, b Warrand 19 T.

This, the crack match of the Dalkeith season, was played in Dalkeith Park on Saturday, July 11. The weather was glorious, and the ground in splendid order. His Grace the Duke of Buc- cleugh, the Militia Regimental Staff, and a number of gentlemen from the neighbourhood, with a large number of spectators, were on the ground. The Kelso Club have been successful in this match for many years, but on this occasion the tables were slightly turned, the Kelso's first innings being only 62 against the Dalkeith's 132. In the second innings, however, Kelso pulled up considerably, having, on the calling of time, made up their score to 150 ( with three wickets to fail). The match was therefore left undecided, though, so far as it went, considerably in favour of Dalkeith. The batting of the Dalkeith was particularly steady, the fielding very fine, and the bowling good. The batting of some of the Kelso men was excellent, their hitting being very heavy. Score: KELSO.

The attendance was large, several ladies were also pre- sent. The weather was all that a cricketer could desire, until the Bonn gentlemen went in for their second innings, when it poured rain, notwithstanding, the match was brought to a close, and decided in favour of Westphalia by 51 runs. The Bonn gentlemen had a sumptuous dinner prepared, and the Hibernia and Sham- rock men were exceedingly gratified with the manner in which they were received.

SIR : As an old Wykehamist and cricketer, and a member of the Marylebone Club, no less as a witness of the truly magnificent national spectacle at Lord's Ground on Saturday last., I must, ap- peal to your columns and their influence to obtain a restoration of the public school matches as they were played off' some years ago. I was at Winchester in 1827, in which year, as far as I can recollect, the Eton, Harrow, and Winchester first contended on the Marylebone Ground. Those were the days of Knatchbull, Meyrick, and Wright, when Winchester won both matches. By the by, young Wright, one of the best bats in the splendid Oxford eleven, who beat Cambridge a fortnight ago, has well maintained his father's great reputation at the wicket and in the field. For many years the three schools contended at Lord's with increasing interest evinced by the public, and forming a climax in the bril- liancy of the annual cricket season. These matches were sus- pended in consequence of complaints made by some of the parents of the boys engaged in the game that their sons were detained for several days in London at considerable expense, and exposed to the temptations and allurements of the metro- polis. The popularity, however, of the matches themselves, and the remonstrances of many persons of influence, who felt that the possible disadvantages to a few individuals were far out- weighed by the important results to be derived from a public display of prowess and competition in this noble game, obtained with some little difficulty from the authorities the partial re- con- cession of the annual contests. Instead, however, of Winchester joining the lists at Lord's, as before, her eleven were only per- mitted to leave their seat of learning to play a game at Eton or Harrow, and vice versa, the Etonians in turn going down to Win- chester to play the return match. On the other hand the Etonians and Harrovians received the indulgence, chiefly through the instrumentality of Dr Vaughan, head master of Harrow at the time the present system was de- termined upon, of annually coming up to London for two con- secutive days in the middle of the half year, usually in the early part of July, in order to play the match which created such intense interest on Friday and Saturday last. But as only two days are allowed for this purpose, it has fre- quently happened, as it did on Saturday, that the game has not teen played out, which, I need not sav, leaves a very unsatisfactory feeling between the contending' parties, while it cannot but to a certain extent aff'ect the interest felt in the progress of the game itself. This uncertainty as to the relative merits of the players would be removed if the first four days of the wec- k. say in the sccond week in July, were given up for an annual match between the three great schools as formerly, with the understanding that the matches should be fully plaved out. Winchester being so very much further from London than Eton or Harrow, the matches might come oft upon the breaking up o£ Winchester, which always takes place in the middle of July. No cicub: objections would be raised against a public school saturnalia for four days; but I ask any one who was present at the glorious English sight presented on Saturday last whether the seeds cf a noble and manly emulation sown there among our youth, c ur future soldiers, sailors, and statesmen, will not pro- duce quit - as valuable and lasting educational fruits as could be gathered in by many a series of whole school days. I therefore confidently appeal to you, sir, to raise your powerful voice in behalf of our boys of Eton, Harrow, and Winchester, that they may next year be permitted to play out the triple match as for- merly; and if the excellent Head Master of Winchester will then come on the ground and see his pupils play, as they well know how to do, the uphill game, they will give him such a cheer as the Harrovians gave Dr Vaughan under similar circumstances, and such as British schoolboys alone can raise.— I am, sir, your obedient servant, J. E, EARDLEY WILMOT. July 13. [ Theforegoing Utter appeared in The Times shortly after the Eton and Hamjw and cannot be too widely circulated. Agitation may bring about some alteration next year.] THE SCHOOL MATCH,"" MP. EDITOR : AR. other draw. Most unsatisfactory. Cricket doctors begin to prr~ r. be remedies. Pray recommend the simple one which old experience and modern common sense suggest. Let the boys plaj thtir matches at the beginning of their holi- days, as their fathers . lid before them ; or, if this plan be con- sidered by those in authority too servile an imitation of an old custom, let the two dav s' grace now allowed in the middle of the quarter be granted, with all existing regulations, on the two last days before the holidays,— Tours, & c, F. p. ETON v IIAEROVA Mr EDITOR: The list of Eton and Harrow matches given in your last, while of much interest to Etonians and Harrovians, may a little mislead those not possessed of Lilly white's book-^ he first match was played in 1801, and was stated ( I do not kno\*^ n what authority), in a letter which appeared in your columns a few years ago, to Lave been won by Harrow; while several, I believe, were played between 1805 and 1818, of which " the score has not been preserved." It would be very interesting if some or 5TH DRAGOON GUARDS v 4TH ( QUEEN'S OWN") HUSSARS. This match was played at Newbridge Barracks on July 14."

Ihe Doctor's Eleven having won the toss, put their adversaries in, who, after some good play, were disposed of for 81 runs. The College then took the bat and scored 82. In the second innings the R :- v Mr Hodson's Eleven made only 53, which were soon obtaihed by the College with the loss of three wickets, Jaines play ing well for his score of 23.
