[ GRATIS.] SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1863. [ GRATIS.] ANGLING. AUTUMNAL FISHING. " Brisrht Virgo gave us beauteous days ; Now Libra weighs with equal scales the year; From Heaven's high cope the fierce effulgence shook Of parting summer, a serener blue, With golden light enlivened, wide invests The happy world. Attempered suns arise, Sweet beam'd and shedding oft through lucid clouds A pleaBing calm; whilst broad and brown below Extensive harvests hang with heavy head." The revolving seasons have brought us to one of the most de- lightful months in the year. " Attempered suns arise ;" the cool breezes are delicious after the scorching midsummer's sun The landscape is lovely ; the grasses have not yet lost their brightness, and the heavy foilage still retains its verdure. " Now ere sweet summer bids a long adieu, And winds blow keen where late the blossom grew ; The bustling day and jovial night will come— The long- expected feast of' Harvest Home.' " To the sportsman September is almost a " household word.'' She brings us merry songs of the chase. Already the huntsman's horn rings cheerily through the tangled dingle, as the youug hounds run riot with all the eagerness of untrained ardour. " Oh, ' tis cheering to list the mellow horn's cry, And maddening o'er hill and through valley to fiy, The swift prey on foot ; it la glorious to hear The staunch hounds comingle with our hearty cheer." " Don and Beli" range the stubole, and the sharp reports of breech and muzzle- loaders resound from morn till dewy eve. Then comes the meeting round the hospitable board— the appe- tite keen from healthful exercise; and how grateful the sparkling wine! What wonderiul shots are made after the second bottle! What marvellous distances that new breech- loader kills; and as for " Don and Bell'' no man in England has such dogs;" Then, "' l'is nurry In the hall." Let us hope the eye aud hand will be steady for the morrow's sport. The angler, too, need not be idle this jolly month. The heavy rains have brought down strong floods, and in all the late rivers the salmon fishing is excellent. Many of the Welsh rivers are little worth much before this month, and in nearly all of them j this is about the best season. Great numbers of tisli have ran up, ; and I hear excellent accounts from every quarter; there are plenty ; of fish " Up boys and at them," for your time is precious; soon j the bright- sided beauties will become dailj darker and darker, ! and the lady fish will be in that very interesting situation in : which our dames it is said wish to be, " when they do love their lords." Trout are still in good condition, but they also will daily I lose their firmness, and will betake themselves to theirspawning i beds, there to perform the " labour of love." But the bottom- fisher does most delight in this month. His bill of fare contains j every course of fish in our waters, and they are all in prime order. And so, gentlemen sportsmen, all, you have only to " pay your money, and take your choice." You have cub hunting, shooting, salmon, trout, and grayling fishing, pike, perch, barbie, bream, roach, dace, & c., and if you are not satisfied, the best ad vice I can Jgive you is to " Absquatilate'' to the " Bright" land of " stars and stripes," where the fish are so large and numerous that they are obliged to have lakes and rivers made purposely for them ; at least so say the Yankees. There will be many a sportsman " between the horns ot a dilemma on the First." As I have said, the heavy rains have flooded all the salmon rivers of England and Wales, and the water will be ( if the weather continues fine, as it is now— Monday, Aug 31) in splendid condi- tion and full of fish. Now " what can a poor man do ?" There are some who live on the banks of salmon rivers who will, no doubt, divide their day— shoot in the morning, and kill a fish or two in the afternoon ; but there are many who will be at their " wit's ends," and whichever spoitthey choose, they will all day be think- ing of the other. My advice w> ' Uld be fish— the water is in excellent order, aud the fish will each day be getting darker and darker— you may not all this season have another oppor: unity so good. You may shoot any day for months, and the birds will be all the better for a week's growth. I consider the 1st of September at least two weeks too soon to commence shooting; this year the harvest is unusually early, and the birds in most places are strong, but in general most of the birds that are billed during the first week are a disgrace to the bag. Perhaps a few words of advice from a " gunner'' of many years' experience may not be out of place at this eventful period, when the brains of many a tyro " gunner" are running on shoot- ing. In the first place, never overload yourself with a gun; for partridge shooting, one of twelve or fourteen bore is quite large enough. You will kill as much or more game as those who fol- low the present fashion of using small pieces of ordnance, which they can hardly handle with ease the early part of the day, but which at the end of a long day's fag are found to drop most won- derfully at the muzzle, and to shoot under half the birds. Use No. 8 shot. The regulation " sixes'' are better a month or so later. I don't know that we are any wiser than our grandfathers, but I think their style of early rising and early sporting was car- ried to too great an extent. Many sportsmen of the Old School even now think it necessary to be up and doing'' by the dawn of day. Now, so far as partridge shooting is concerned, I am cer- tain this is erroneous. In the first place, the majority of " Young England" do not usually " turn out" at sunrise. As a rule, those who have passed " the season" in town are more likely to be " turning in" at that hour. Well, say you get up at this unu- sually eaily time, you feel as though you had robbed yourself of half your rest, and are heavy and drowsy. You get out. The grasses are heavy with the night's dew, and you are soon as thoroughly soaked to the knees as though you waded a river. You find the birds all on the feed, at which time they are restless, with their heads up and their feathers wet from running through the dew- laden stubble, both which circumstances render birds wild. You get a shot, and away goes the covey all in a lump; you mark them, and get perhaps another shot, when off the birds go, wild as hawks, and drop in all directions, giving your dogs no end of trouble to pick up the singles. The birds will not go into the turnips, thick clover, or long grasses, because they are all heavy with dew, and there is nothing birds dislike so much as getting their feathers wet. The consequence is that after you have shot over the stub- bles and feeding grounds, which you will have done by about your usual breakfast time, unless you have a very extensive range, you will find you have so scattered and driven the birds that your shots are few and far between. Still you work on, the sun becomes pow eriul, your dogs begin to pant, and you feel that your unusual early rising is beginning to tell; the sport is worse and worse, and you and your dogs, weary and more weary, so that by the middle of the ' lay you have had quite enough of it. Now suppose, on the other hand, you let the birds go off their feed- ing- grounds, and get well settled in the turnips, clovers, and other thick covers, which they wiil do as soon as the wind or sun has dried them. You get your breakfast comfortably, and begin shooting about ten. The birds, you will find, will lay well, and when they do rise, will diop in some other thick cover, whenyou will follow and find them. You can shoot until about one, when an hour'srestand refreshment will not bd thrown away on man ordog, and it will give time to the birds to collect and get again settled. You can now go to work, and shoct a couple of hours, and I will venture to say that, at the end of the day, your bag will be better than the early man's, and got with far less fatigue, and infinitely more pleasure. If you find your dogs wild, take up one— you may manage one wild dog, but it is not possible to manage two. Never beat your own dogs, it makes them shy of you, and they will not hunt near you, and also your temper may often urge you to chastise a dog with much more severity than is necessary ; let your attendant do the thrashing, and the less he does the better. Speak in gentle tones to your dogs, particularly young ones; there is nothing that will make a dog so shy of you as an angry or sharp tone ot voice; he will be continually watching you, and expec. ing rebuke, instead of giving his whole attention to his work. At noon, when you feed yourself, remember poor " Don and Bell;" you had a good breakfast before you started, they came out hungry aud empty, and have gone over miles of ground since; a mouthful or two will be most acceptable to them, and they will do their work better and more cheerfully. When you go home, if you have not a most trustworthy keeper or dog- feeder, see your dogs put up and fed yourself. Now let us to the river side. In my last I stated that I anticipated great sport for the salmon fisher, and I am happy to say I have been a true " prognosticator," and I should advise all those who wish to kill a fish or two before the season closes, to lose no time, but resort at once to his chosen river. The flies used for this month lr. ay be made spring size. The fish that run up now are usually large, and free risers. I am not so great an advocate for early fishing as many anglers. If I am fishing at a station where there are man}' rods I always am quire willing to give those who fancy early fish- ing all the benefit of the pools, from daylight until eight or nine, if they will give me the fishing of the pools frsm that hour until about eleven, and then again from about four until dark. Ten o'clock a. m. and four o'clock p m. are my favourite hours of all the twenty- four, and I think I have killed more salmon about those times than any other. The flies I would use now are reds, orange, and yellows. An excellent fly for the Welsh rivers at this season is made— body, dingy yellow, silver tinsel over; yellow hackle from tag to shoulder, put on full; wings, bittern neck feather, dyed yellow, put on tweed fashion, that is, open, or in the shape of a V ; on the inside of each wing place a golden phea- sant's neck feather, small; tail, golden pheasant topping. This fly may be varied by making the wing from the brown turkey, well mottled. If you rise a fish with the yellow, and he will not come again to the samefly, try one made orange body, and dyed orange hackle, gold twist, and turkey, or peacock for wing; tail, slips of golden pheasant neck feathers; and your chance of hook- ing him will be two to one in j our favour. I mention the Welsh rivers because they are about the latest we have, and are now, as I have said, in excellent order, and most of them| full of fish- Yery large and powerful fish run up the latter part of September. The} 7 are called at many stations " north fish," but almost every locality has its local name for these fish. A red cock " north fish'' is about as troublesome a customer as any one can have at the end of his cast. They are very strong, and tight to the last with sullen determination, very different from the spirit- stirring dash of the fresh run spring fish. Last year I hooked a red cock fish of twenty pounds with a small grilse fly and fine single gut. He came at me across the white water like a bull; when he found himself " arrested" he seemed for a moment to be paralysed with astonishment, but instantly recovering himself he lashed the water like a stricken whalp, then took a long and rapid run and showed himself, at the end of some forty yards of line, performing summersaults that would have astonished even an old " Astley" audience. I " followed him up," like our friend in Punch, and he took to quiet sparring, which solely tried my patience. I wanted a good " kepper," or I should have played him so strong that he would have very soon broken away or been " grassed." But my friend was " wanted," and I therefore had to put up with his sulks and his " giggering,'' and boring to the bottom. I had this fish on for a good hour, and never was more pleased with ridding myself of a disagreeable companion than when I stuck my gaff into " Eufus,"' and hauled him on the bank. Can any one answer me this question? Why is it that a fresh run, bright- sided, and splendidly- conditioned salmon is killed almost instantly by a smart stroke on the head, when a poor weak spent fish wiil live for hours after having been taken out of the water; and after hiving received thumpings on the head sufficient to make even a Carolina nigger wink, which is saying much ? I have seen a spent fish, which had been taken in the evening, and had received the usual hard thumping, alive the following morning. When I say alive, I could see muscular twitchings on the body. It appears singular to me that the weak creature should be so much more tenacious of life than the health- ful and powerful. Can any of my readers solve this? It is a fact well known to all experienced salrtion fishers. For a general fly, on most waters, at this season, one made— body, claret mohair at shoulder, and about half waydown blue, with yellow tag, gold tinsel, claret hackle over all, and blue jay at shoulder; wings, golden pheasant neck feather, teal, woodduck, golden pheasant tail feather, brown mottled, good topping over all, and blue macaw feelers; tail, topping. I have found this fiy about the most useful on all waters at " home and abroad'' I ever used ; it seems a general favourite, and when I go to a river on which I am a stranger I always try this fly, and have seldom found it fail. As a change I use one made— b > dy, dark yellow mohair at shoulder, then orange and blue floss silk tag, furnace hackle, dyed yellow overall; silver tinsel, blue jay at shoulder; wings, mixed golden pheasant, rich silver pheasant; tail, mottled brown turkey, bustard, teal, blue and yellow macaw feelers, and good topping over all. These are a good pair of flies. If you rise a fish with one, and he won't come again, try the other. With regard to trout fishing I have very little to say. The same flies I recom- mended in my last are still on ; also baits. In fact, to use a mer- cantile term, trout are " going down," and bottom- fishing is " looking up.'' I should advise my angling friends to give their attention to the latter sport, and attack the coarser fish. Let Master Troutie disport himself and choose his mate, you will have all the better sport in seasons to come. Pike fishing is a game not to be despised, and the " fresh water lawyer" is now in fine condition. Attack him ; he is Troutie's greatest enemy— that is to say, " fishie" enemy.— Yours, & c, FIN. FISHING SWEEPSTAKES NEAR YORK.— On Monday, Aug 31, the fourth annual fishing sweepstakes from the ancient city of York was angled for in the river Ouse, about eight miles distant, between Overton Landing and Nun Monkton, on the estate of the Eight Hon Payan Dawnay. The sweepstake was open to all, and the prizes consisted of £ 10 given by Mr Richard Booth, ef the Ship Inn, King's Staith, York, others of a handsome character given by the Lord Mayor of York and Col Smyth and J. P. Brown- Westhead, Esq ( the City members), and the remainder, on the whole to the number of fifty- five, were of a varied and useful description.

WEST SOMERSET SOCIETY.— One of the last meetings of the present season took place on Aug 27, in the grounds of the WTest Somerset Society, at Taunton. There were several showers of rain, which caused the shooting to be suspended for awhileduring the afternoon. The ladies shot four dozen arrows at 60 yards and two dozen at 50 yards, and the gentlemen the York round. The prizes were distributed as follows:— Ladies: The Lady Para- mount's prize, for the highest score of the day ( a gold mounted crystal iruaglio locket, with oil painting of a bird, and with gold neckchain), to Miss S. Dawson, who scored 318; the Lady Para- mount's second prize ( a gold- mounted carbuncle brooch), for an unmarried lady visitor, was won by Miss Wick ham, score 123; the President's prize ( a gilt casket, with scent bottles), for the greatest gross score of the season, without deductions, Mrs Hare, 564; first club prize, for score ( Parian centre piece with figures), Mrs Malet, 188; second ditto for hits ( set of three gold studs), to Mrs Coventry, 37; third ditto, score ( gold and turquoise brooch), to Miss Fowell, 159; for best gold ( Bohemian glass flower vase), Miss Vibart; visitors' score ( enamelled candlestick), to Mrs Smith, 144; visitors'best gold ( pebble shawl brooch), to Miss Gilbert; most reds and blues of the day, not having won a prize this season ( gilt weight inkstand), to MUs C.

Spurway, 24. The Ladies' and Gentlemen's Challenge Medals, for the greatest scores of the season ( three meetings), were awarded to Miss S. Dawson and Mr St John Coventry. IRVINE TOXOPHILITE SOCIETY.— Wet weather on Friday, Aug 28, deferred the competition at the fifty- first meeting of this club until the following day ( Saturday) when the shooting took place within the academy's grounds at Irvine. The Countess of Eglin- ton and Winton. the patroness of the society, was present during the shooting. The competitors commenced at butts at 32 yards, at which the following scores were made :— Mr Wm. Christie 72, Mr J. Finlay 70, Mr R. Wylie56, Mr P. Murdoch 31, Mr P. Blair, jun, 26, Mr W. Jamieson 15, and Captain- General Mont- gomerie II. Upon this scoring three prizes were awarded— first, the Eglinton Gold Belt, and a silver flower vase, together with the captaincy, to Mr W. Christie; the second, the Tournament Medal, to Mr j. Finlay; and the third, a silver quaich, to Mr R. Wylie. At the field targets, at which the ladies bhot four dozen and a half arrows at 50 jards, the scores were— Mrs Finlay 119, Miss Jamieson 117, Miss M. J. Anderson 88, Miss Gardner 83, Miss Black SI, Miss Montgomerie 79, Miss Mary Murdoch 63, Miss Maggie Murdoch 42, Miss Anderson 42, and Miss Hunter 11. This part of the competition resulted in the captain- general's prize, a silver brooch, being awarded to Mrs Finlay, of the St Mungo Archers, Glasgow. At the elevated targets Miss Jamiesuii, of the Irvine club, obtained the ladies'prize, a handsome silver brooch, for the highest gross score of the day's shooting. Gentle- men's prizes:— The first ( the captain- general's) a silver fish knife and fork, won by Mr J. Allen, of Glasgow ; the second, the captain- general's silver cup, by Mr J. Murdoch, Glasgow; the third, a silver medal, by Mr J. Tinlay, Glasgow; aud the fourth, a quiver, by Mr R. Wylie, Kilwinning. PAISLEY ARCHERY.— The fifth anniversary meeting of this club, held in the society's grounds atGreenhill, ou Saturday, Aug 29, was a most pleasant affair. The shooting ( one York round) was of average excellence, and the captain's silver horn was won by Mr Lachlan M'Tavish; the lieutenant's silver Maltese cross by Mr W. Smith ; and the adjutant's silver medal by Mr J. M'Far- lane. Mr Smith and Mr M'Farlane were handicapped. Mr C. Heys received the past captain's prize for the best gold of the day. SCOTCH ARCHERY.— A challenge match will shortly take place between the archers of Edinburgh and the East against Glasgow and the West of Scotland, which, with the splendid shooting of Mr Peter Muir, the Champion both of England and Scotland, will, it is expected, transfer the honour of victory to the wise men of the East. That much- coveted honour, the Mucfarlane Gold Cross, was shot for on Saturday, Aug 29. by the Salisbury archers, in their grounds at Edinburgh. The York Round was shot, and Mr Peter Purves gained the Cross. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE ARCHF. RY SOCIETY.— The last meeting of the season took place on the 27th ult, at Cottesbrooke Hall. The rain, at intervals, descended in torrents, but the competition was both spirited aud interesting. The first ladies' prize was won by Miss Sergeant, w ho scored 117; and the second by Miss Isham, 100. AN extra prize, presented by Capt Rose, was gained by Miss E. Isham, 88. Capt Rose had the first gentleman's prize, and Capt Mackinnon the second, their scores being 150 ( four deduc- tions) and 162 ( 26 deductions). NATIONAL ARCHERY MEETING.— The next annual meeting of the National Archery Society will take place in the Alexandra Park, on the conditions guaranteed to the committee of the " National'' by the directors of the new company. SWIMMING. SWIMMING MATCHES AT PLYMOUTH. On Monday, Aug 31, some capital swimming matches came off under the Hoe, in the presence of thousands of spectators, who lined the shores like a swarm of bees. The arrangements were most effectually carried out, under the direction of the following committee:— Mr W. Haddy ( chairman), Messrs W. Searle, W. Stumbles, D. Derry, G. Ryder, Horncastle, J. Hicks, A. Brown, T. Pearse, J. A. Widger, M. O'Brien, D. McCarthy, and E. Phil- lips. The mayor ( under whose patronage the proceedings took place) discharged the duties of starter and umpire in an efficient manner. The course was about half a mile in length, and the sun shone forth brilliantly, but a cold wind made it rather unpleasant for the competitors. The regulations provided that the compe- titors should fee limited to residents of the three towns. The first match was for a silver cup. value £' 2 10s, second £ 1, third 10s. The competitors were Messrs W. Waterman, D. Derry, M. O'Brien, T. Perkins, W. Seward, and W. Square. Derry led at the start, followed by O'Brien and Perkins. The two former swam on their sides, whilst the o'her competitors pursued the common style. It is well known, however, that the side stroke enables the swimmer to pursue his course with much more rapi- dity, than those who use the ordinary mode of propelling them- selves through the water. On the other hand, it may be said that the former mode fatigues the swimmer much sooner than the other. This, to a certain extent, is correct, as the result of the match showed, for Derry's strength ultimately failed him, and he gave place to O'Brien, whose most dangerous competitor was Perkins, a clever young swimmer. The results were as follow: — O'Brien 1, Perkins 2, Waterman 3, Brown 4, Derry 5, Square 6, Seward 7. The second match was for £ 3 10s, divided into three prizes of £ 2 10s, 15s, and 5s. Seventeen entered for this— viz, Messrs H. Solomon, A. Hasby, R. Williams, W. Jeffery, J. H. Maddock, S. Cuming, J. Searles, R. Monk, 8. Tozer, P. Jory, C. Dyer, W. Bustin, J. Sampson, J. Greig, J. Lakeman, F. Lane, and W. Waterman. Fourteen only started out of this lot. The compe- tition remained between Monk and Jeffery, the latter eventually winning cleverly. The following competitors were placed: — Jeffery 1, Monk 2, Bustin 3, Dyer 4, Jory 5, Tozer 6, Cuming 7. The next race was for beys under 16 years of age; first prize £ 1 10s, second 10s, third 5s. Eleven started, the following being the winners:— E. Botterel 1, ff. May W. Sitters 3. A scratch match concluded the proceedings, the winners being J. C. Westlake 1, Meddiford 2. The first prize was £ 1, and the second 4s. This brought a termination to the first public swimming matches in Plymouth, and in the forthcoming summer we hope that these matches will be encouraged. CARLTON AMATEUR CLUB.— This club held its first prize meet- ing on Aug 28, at the St Marylebone Baths. Ten prizes were swum for, and the attendance of members of the club and specta- tors was very good. The competition for the diving and handicap prizes was very spirited, aud the whole affair went off t the sitis- faction of all parties concerned. Mr Foote, jun, of the St Mary- lebone Baths, officiated as umpire. A DELICATE QUESTION.— A curious case of breach of contract— which, however, included a libel— has just been decided in Paris. Mdlle S proceeded against the director of one of the Paris theatres for certain moneys due to her for an engagement as second danseuse. The defendant pleaded " never indebted;" and, as a rider to the plea, stated that the calves of Mademoiselle's legs were too big for a danseuse.'' The following letter was put in by the counsel for the prosecution and formed the ground of the action :—" My dear Mademoiselle: You surely are not serious in proposing to appear as second danseuse ? Your physical forma- tion, otherwise charming, is totally opposed to such a career. You may consider your engagement cancelled and yourself free. We have now but to regret a rehearsal which has produced such nega- tive results.— Agree, Mademoiselle, to believe the respect with which, & c." On the part of the plaintiff it was argued that she had made no secret of her legs, which were such as a liberal nature had given to her; that they were, in fact, the stock in trade of a dancer; that objection had been taken by other direc- tors to duiseuses " satis mollet;" and, finally, that the state of the case was known to the defendant when he made the contract. The defendant offered to refer the matter to an " eKpert," and named the ballet master of the Imperial Academy as his referee, but the court held that strong legs were no breach of contract, and gave a verdict with costs for the plaintiff. ACCIDENTAL POISONING.— A child, named John Vann, six years of age, son of a workman at Moxley, was poisoned last week through taking a quantity of laudanum incautiously sold to his mother by a chemist named Woolley instead of tincture of rhubarb. A coroner's jury found a verdict in accordance with the facts, and censured Woolley very severely. AQUATICS. KEW, BRENTFORD, AND ISLE WORTH REGATTA. This regatta was resumed on the 29th August, when the various races resulted as under :— WATERMEN'S DOUBLE SCULLERS RACE, for money prizes. The first two heats of this race were rowed on the 15th, and were won— the first by Mason and G. Finn beating F. Styles and A. Argent, and W. Turner and W. Tyrrell; and the second by W. Mancey and G. Williams beating 8. Wise and A. lies, and A. Hazel 1 and W. Powell. The third heat was rowed on the 29th, and resulted in the victory of G. Gadney and G. Tutton over J. Farrington and J. Barker, and E. Malenderand W. Cole. FINAL HEAT. Mason and Finn l | Gadney and Tutton 3 Mancey and lies 2| lies had been substituted for Williams as Mancey's partner, owing to Williams being called away to attend a trial at Croydon. This placed Mancey at a disadvantage, besides which he started between the other two crews and was consequently much hampered. They started evenly and made a capital race of it for a quarter of a mile, when Mason and Finn began to draw away, and won by two lengths. Gadney and Tutton remained second some time, after which Mancey and Ile3 rowed them down. The distance in all the heats was from Brentford Ferry to Rails Head Ferry, Isleworth. OUTRIGGED GIG RACE, for three silver presentation cups; in one heat. C. Collins and A. Mares, R. Nlblett ( cox)— West London Rowing Club ( centre statisn) l R. O. Yearsley aud J. F. Yearsley, Barrett( cox)— Twickenham Rowing Club ( Surrey station) 2 W. Newell and W. Boucher, S. Bone ( cox)— North London Rowing Club ( Middlesex station) 3 Distance, Brentford Ferry to Isleworth Rails Head Ferry. All three boats started very evenly, and without any material dif- ference continued for half a mile, during which time neither had any marked lead. Here the West London pair began to go in front, followed by the Twickenham party, the North Londoners following astern, and a close race continued right home, where the West London men led by a length, Twickenham second by the same. It may be remembered that these three pairs were to have contended on the 15th, but the Twickenham pair did not appear at the starting post till 20 minutes after the appointed t me, although they rewed overjafterwardsand claimed the pots, to which they could n<> t possibly be entitled. On that occasion tSie West L- ndon pair consisted of Messrs Rayment and T. J. Embleton, E. T. Embleton ( cox), and the latter being unfortu- nately drowned, it was arranged that this race should be rowed again with the others on the 29th; meanwhile the West London club not being able to send the same pair, and considering their engagement to row binding, applied to the committee for permis- sion to send another crew, which permission, the club informs us, was granted; the Twickenham pair were also permitted to start; and while both the West London and North London pairs pro- tested against the latter's right to compete, the North Londoners claimed the cups, on the ground that the West London club had no right to send another crew, and consequently the committee have now to decide who is entitled to the prize. While speaking on this subject, it should be remembered that the North London pai r must have won the race on the 15th had they not, to their great credit, stopped when the West London boat went down, while it is but fair to the West London to say that they would not hare started again but from certain unpleasant passages between themselves and the Twickenham club on the 15th, and because they considered that no rule could entitle the latter to start after the race had once gone without them. JUNIOR SCULLS, for a silver presentation cup, in one heat; dis- tance as before. A. R. Pitt- West London Rowing Club ( Middlesexstation).. 1 G. Bailey ( centre suulon) o T. Hale— Loudou Rowing Club ( Surrey station) dr This was literally a walk over, Mr Pitt becoming a Senior with the greatest ease. PAIR- OARS, for two silver presentation cups, in one heat; dis- tance as before. Three pairs had entered, viz, Messrs A. Hodgson and H. Hood, J. P. Davis and Moxon, T. Hale and C. Schlotel, all of the London Rowing Club. Only the first- named pair ap- peared at the starting post, and they not till long after the time named on the card. They, however, rowed over, with the sanction of ihe umpire it is said, but this was another disputed race, the committee withholding the prizes. SENIOR SCULLS, for a silver presentation cup. FIRST HEAT. A. R. Pitt— West London Rowing Club ( Surrev station) 1 G. Ryan— London Bowing Club ( centre station) 0 This was a magnificent race; Pitt took a trifling lead at the start, Ryan pursuing him at great pace, Pitt never leading by more than a few feet, with Ryan coming level every now and then for half a mile. Ryan then fouled a punt, and Pitt, drawing away, cleared himself and took his opponent's water some hun- dred yards above the committee barge, moored off Brentford Docks. Soon after this Ryan spurted right up again with the greatest gameness, and drew halfway over his opponent at the docks. A magnificent race now followed, but soon Ryan was again put out by fouling some weeds, and Pitt, drawing ahead again, won by a clear half length. In the second heat Mr W. H. Lowe ( London Rowing Club) walked over, Mr T. Hale, of the same club, being scratched. FINAL HEAT. A. R. Pitt— West London Rowing Club ( Surrey station) 1 W. H. Lowe— London Rowing Club ( Middlesex station) 0 This w as another very fine race. Mr Pitt again came away with a slight lead, but Mr Lowe collared him ( Erectly, and a desperate neck and neck contest followed to the committee barge, where Pitt had drawn half a length away, and, increasing this, went nearly clear as they passed the entrance to the docks. Here a fine spurt put on by Lowe brought him level with his opponent's sculls, and in these positions they rowed to the top of the island, where Pitt succeeded in drawing clear and taking his opponent's water, and there was a gap of half a length between them as they rowed along the island. Nearing the lower end Lowe put on an- other excellent spurt, and nearly rowed over his opponent's stern, but Pitt, seeing his danger, took two or three rapid and effective strokes, and clearing himself again, won by three- quarters of a clear length. The distance in all the heats of" this race was down from Church Ferry to Kew Bridge, as also in all the following races. JL'NIOR FOURS, for five silver presentation cups. FIRST HEAT.

Here the Londoners drew level, and at Brent- ford Docks began to assume a lead, and, although the North London party disputed every inch of the distance, the Londoners drew clear at the top of the island, and, gradually increasing their lead, won, after a severe race right home, by i clear length. FINAL HEAT. WEST LONDON ROWING CLUB.. 1 | LONDON ROWING CLL- B 0 In this race the West Londoners soon came away, and won without any great exertion by three clear lengths, thus having the satisfaction of winning everything for which they had entered. DARTMOUTH ROYAL REGATTA. This annual aquatic event came off on Friday and Saturday, Aug 28 and 29, and was attended with its usual success. The rowing matches at this meetingare undoubtedly the best that can be witnessed at any of the western ports, and this fact has made the Dartmouth meeting extremely popular. The Grand Chal- lenge Prize of 50 guineas, for four- oared gigs, open to all the world, generally excites great interest, because it brings to- gether some of the crack crews of the country. The number of boats that competed for this prize on Friday, however, was not so large as on the previous year, when five boats started. This year only three went, and some surprise was manifested at this de- crease. Ihe great distance between the boats at the conclusion of the heats excited some suspicion, and not a few were of opinion that it was a '- made- up'' match. The racing in the other classes was of a first- class order, and fully equalled, if not sur- passed, that of previous years. The weather was every- thing that could be desired, and the most difficult to please could not find a fault. The sun shone forth most brilliantty, and rendered the voyage down the Dart positively charming. There was a good breeze from the south- west, and this tempered the scorching rays of the sun. The town was besieged with ex- cursionists from all parts, far and near, and every available spot from which a good view of the sport could be obtained was crowded with spectators. The shipping in harbour displayed bunting of the gayest colours, and the town itself was gaily be- decked with flags and streamers, and a triumphal arch was thrown across the entrance to the new ground. The band of the Itemouth Volunteer Artillery corps occupied a raised platform on the new ground, and contributed to the general pleasures of the day. The Fanny ( pilot boat) was used as a committee boat, and from it a capital view of the course would have been obtainable had it not been for the conduct of the captain of Her Majesty's brig Squirrel, who moored his vessel just ahead of the Fanny, thus ob curing everything from view. The committee requested the o » ptain to remove the Squirrel to a spot where no inconvenience would be occasioned, and actually sent a steamer to tow the Squirrel off, but the officer in command refused to comply with the wishes of the committee, and consequently the boats' racing could only be seen one ha^ f of the time. The committee re- fused to allow the boats of the 8quirrel to compete for any of the prizes, in consequence of this conduct. The following were the stewards:— The Worshipful the Mayor, Sir H. P. Seale, Bart; the Right Hon Earl Vane, Commodore R. W. Y. C. ; J. Hardy, M. P.; Sir Walter Carew, Bart; H. Norris, R. 8. Y. C.; J. Baxen- dale, A. W. Beetham, F. R. 8., recorder of Dartmouth; H. Morant, R. V. Y C.; G. Hunt, G. Bidder, R. T. Y. C.; Capt Arkwright, R N., R. W. Y. C.; Major Sawers, 2d brigade D. V. A.; H. C. Hunt, Capt Davy, 6th D. A. V. ; H. L. Tall. The general committee were composed of Sir H. P. Seale ( chairman) and Messrs E. N. Elliott, W. Tanner, G. B. Soper, W. Smith, H. Norris, H. Morant, G. Puddicombe, C. Chalker, and Capt Bulley; secretary, Mr R. Crau- ford; clerk of the course, MrE. Turnor. The regatta was under the patronage of His Grace the Duke of Leeds, R. Y. S.; the Right Hon Earl Vane, Commodore R. W. Y. C.; Capt C. Thellusson, Commodore R. V. Y. C. Amongst the yachts in port were the fol- lowing:— Florence, schooner, Duke of Leeds; Sunbeam, screw steam schooner, Capt Twysden; Mistletoe, schooner, P. F. Bluett; Gleam, schooner, J. Richardson; Miranda, yawl, E. B. Liebert; Wanderer, schooner; Freak, yawl, D.

Baxendale; Gipsy, cutter, Capt Ark wright, R. N.; Ida, cutter, E. JTurnor. The first race was a match for sailing barges, belonging to the River Dart: first prize 25s, second 15s, third 12s 6d, fourth 7s 6d. The following were winners :— Speculator 1, Excel 2, Hibernia 3, Pilot 4. Six started. The course was from the committee vessel to mark boats off Kiterey Point and Gunfield, from thence to mark boats off Higher Sandquay, back to the committee boat; distance about two miles.

The GR AKD CHALLENGE PRIZE of 50gs, for four- oared boats of any build, open to all the world, to be rowed in heats ; first boat £ 40, second £ 9, third £ 3 10s. Three boats started, viz, the Swift of Plymouth, the Sunbeam of Cardiff, and the Challenge of London. A good start was effected, Swift leading, with Sunbeam and Challenge following in the order named. On re appearing to view Sunbeam and Challenge had changed places, the former being some distance behind. These posi- tions were maintained to the end of the first heat, the Swift winning by about 200 yards, and 100 yards separating the second and third. In the second heat 8unbeam and Challenge started, the latter taking the lead, which she gradually increased, and ultimately won by about 20 boats' lengths. The third heat then lay between the Swift and Challenge. The latter, having the best berth, took the lead on starting, but on coming in sight again the Plymouth boat had overhauled the Challenge, and was several lengths ahead, which she maintained to the close, ultimately win- ning by about 50 or 60 yards. The crews who manned the several boats are as follows:— Swift ( Plymouth crew): Allington, Woon, Tambling, White, Maincom ( cox); Challenge ( London crew): Harter, Bell, Bray, M'Kenny, Hill ( cox); Sunbeam ( Cardiff crew): Mitchell, Powell, George, Hill, Thomas ( cox). The Swift takes the first prize. Challenge the second, and Sunbeam third. These boats competed last year for the same prize, and Challenge was then the winner. She was manned by a different crew this year, and the other two boats had their same crews. TEN POUNDS for four- oared Coast Guard gigs ; first boat £ 3 17s, second £ 2 5s, third £ 1 10s, fourth £ 1, fifth 15s, sixth 12s 6d, seventh 7s 6d.

SULTANA L | INTRIGUE 2 | MIRANDA 3 On Saturday there was to have been a yacht race for £ 10, but only the Ida, belonging to Mr E. Tumor, of Dartmouth, had en- tered to compete, and the prize was consequently withheld. Some minor events came off, but nothing worthy of notice. THE ROYAL Wi' STERN YACHT CLUB AND FORT OF PLYMOUTH REGATTA- THIRD DAY ( FRIDAY), AUG 23.— The sports were resumed to- day in the presence of a goodly number of spectators. The committee had endeavoured to avoid the necessity of breaking into a third day, but circumstances compelled them to postpone two sailing matches until this day. The weather was everything that could be wished for, but the wind was very light, and conse. quently the sailing was not of a first- class order. The PRINCE OF WALES'S PRIZE.— A Piece of Plate, value 25 guineas, presented to the town by H. R. H. the Prince of Wales, for cutters of 15 tons and upwards belonging to a R. Y.

When the yachts hove in sight again Phryne had the lead, with the Thought in close attendance, and ultimately the latter went ahead, arriving at the committee vessel at 7: 22: 40. The Phryne, when under Staddon Heights, gave up the contest, she having to allow Thought 13min 15sec. PIECE of PLATE, value 15 guineas, given by the Mayor of Ply- mouth ( W.

DuBois Dobree, met on Monday inarning, Aug 31, in the lower room of Barter's lodging- house, in order to award the prizes to successful competitors at the regatta, and also to pronounce upon such cases as had been protested against on the score of a non- fulfilment of the sailing regulations. The charge against 1' Hirondelle, of having struck the flagboat on Les Audames, was entered into. Having maturely weighed the evidence, the committee returned the following verdict:— That, according to the fourth article of the sailing regulations, which specifies, " Each vessel must go fairly round the course, and in the event of not doing so, or touch- ing any boat, buoy, orflag used to mark out the course, or running foul of another vessel wrongfully, will forfeit all claim to the prize,''— it has been proved to the conviction of the committee that 1' Hirondelle has contravened the fourth article by running foul of the flagboat on Les Audames. The committee regret this, as l'Hirondelle would otherwise have won the prize; and, in re- turning an award against her, they express their belief that the honour of the race fairly belongs to her. A protest was also en- tered by Mr Nicholas Robiliiard, owner of the Two Sisters, against the Prosperity obtaining the third prize. The protest was grounded on a contravention of the fourth article, which specifies that " running foul of another vessel wrongfully will forfeit all claim to the prize," It was proved that the Prosperity did so foul Try Again, and rent her jib. In consequence, the committee declared the Prosperity disqualified. Instead, therefore, of appearing in the order in which they appeared at the time of coming in to the winning place appointed by the committee, they stand thus: L'Hirondelle, disqualified for running foul of flag- boat on Les Audames; Try Again, first prize; Joli, disqualified for passing outside of the Queen's mooring; Rival, second prize; Prosperity, disqualified for having fouled Try Again and tearing her jib ; Two Sisters, third prize; Eclipse, fourth prize. A protest was entered by Mr A. Giff'ard, of No Name, against the Anne, on the ground that the Anne did not round the north side of north buoy. The Anne was also charged with " fouling the Red Buoy." A third charge was entered against the Anne of " having a false keel, fifteen inches in depth, which answers all the purposes of a centre board." The charge of having a false keel equivalent to a centre board was held to be inadmissible, there not being any article in the sailing regulations bearing upon the subject. With reference to the charge of having fwuled the Red Buoy, the evidence of the men who were in the boat next to the Anne was taken. One of the members was in favour of hearing further evidence ; one to allow the race to be run over again ; and the remainder— six in number, including the president— to award the prize to the Anne. There was another protest on the part of the crew of the Mary against the crew of the Providence, for having fouled the former. On examination, it was deemed to be frivolous, as there appeared to have been a general fouling by several boats, and the charge was therefore dismissed. WEST L0ND0U ROWING CLTJB. The entries for the junior scullers race of this club will close on Sept 5. The race is to take place on Sept 19, and members intend- ing to enter are requested to send in their names to the hon sec without delay. In the event of six members starting a second prize will also be given by a member of the club. The following gentlemen stand for. election at the next club meeting, to take place at the club rooms, Wandsworth, on Saturday, Sept 5, viz, R. D. Hall, jun, 1, Vicarage- gardens, Kensington, W. ; J. R. H. Cox, New Brentford, 8. W.; W. J. Hayes, Threadneedle- street, E. C.; C. W. Roney, 15, Langham- place, W. INNER AND MIDDLE TEMPLE, ST DUNSTAN S- IN- THE- WEST, ST CLEMENT DANE'S AND ST MARV- LE- STRAND APPRENTICES' REGATTA.— This regatta, established this year, was rowed on Mon- day, Aug 31, and under the able superintendence of Old Jack Audsley and Wm. Campbell, who have taken much trouble in the matter, the regatta was carried out with that promptitude and decorum which promise success in after years. The first prize was a coat and badge, the second £ 4 4s and the freedom of the Thames, given by the gen- tlemen of the Admiralty department at Somerset House; the others £ 2, £ 1 10s ( respectively), and £ 1 each for the fifth and sixth men. The attendance was very large, and the races came off in the following order:— First heat: S. Murray, Arundel Stairs, 1 ; W. King, Arundel Stairs, 2 ; T. West, Temple Stairs, 0. The dis- tance in this and the second heats was from the Temple up to Adelphi- terrace, down to the Temple) up again to the terrace, down and finish at the Temple. This was a very fine race throughout. Murray got away with a slight lead, but at Waterloo Bridge they were all perfectly level. At the rounding- boat Murray, served by the station, got round first; the other two very close together. These positions were maintained to Somerset House, when West rowed his boat under water, and sunk. Murray then drew ahead of his antagonist, and kept ahead all the rest of the way, winning by two or three lengths. A protest was entered by West that King had fouled him, and they agreed to toss who should row in the final heat. King won the toss, and the men were satisfied. — Second heat: H. King, Arundel Stairs, 1; H. Dyer, Temple Stairs, 2; T. Welsh, Strand- lane, 0. This also was a very fine race. They rowed for 500 yards, each alternately leading, when King began to draw away, and a hard race then took place be- tween Dyer and Welsh, which ended in Dyer leaving him astern. He ( Dyer) then challenged King, and a fine contestright home was won by two lengths. Welsh was nowhere at the finish.— Final heat: S. Murray 1, W. King 2, H. King 3; H. Dyer 4. The course in this heat was from Hungerford Bridge to the Temple, up to Hungerford, down and finish at the Temple. A very fair start was effected, but immediately afterwards a skiff crossed Murray, and he, rowing hard into it, lost the nose of his boat. Undaunted, however, by this mishap, he put on a desperate spurt, and began to near his opponents, who were all together three or four lengths ahead, and at King's College had caught up Dyer, who was last. He soon passed him, and a desperate struggle took place for first place, the two Kings rowing neck and neck to this point, which ended in Murray rounding first, and soon putting four lengths between himself and W. King, who headed his brother by a bare half length. Murray after this won as he liked, the two Kings continuing a hard race to within 100 yards of home, William defeating his brother by six lengths; Dyer nowhere. The prizes were then presented by Campbell in the Temple Gardens, by the permission of the Benchers. WENTZELL'S ANNUAL PAIR- OARED RACE.— This annual race for two silver cups, presented by Mr A. Wentzell, of the Ship, Fore- street, Lambeth, came off on Monday, Aug 31, and was very ably conducted by Mr D. Mining. The race was open to all, and was very well contested throughout. The following were the results of the heats:— First heat: Griffiths and Kilsby 1, Aylmer and Boden 2, Pearsall and Beckett 0, Williams and Stratford 0, Fountain and 8alter 0. Course, Westminster to Vauxhall, down to Westminster, up, and finish at the 8hip, Griffiths and Kilsby came away with a slight lead, followed by Williams and partner, Aylmer and Boden and Pearsall and Beckett rowing a hard race to Vauxhall Bridge, where Pearsall and Beckett took the se « ond place, hard pressed by Aylmer and Boden, who ultimately passed them fifty yards from home, but failed to catch the leaders, who won by six lengths. There were two lengths between the second and third boats at the finish.— Second heat: Distance, Vauxhall Bridge to Westminster, up to Vauxhall, down, and finish at the 8hip. Freshwater and Brown 1, Crump and Benr. ey 2, Lowe and Spencer 0, Taylor and Spice 0. Freshwater and Brown took the lead and held it all the way, winning by six lengths. There was a good race between the second, third, and fourth boats until the first rounding, when Taylor and Spice cut Lowe and Spencer and Crump and Benney off. After the rounding the last two pairs made a sharp raceof it till they fouled unintentionally, and Crump and Benney seeing the mishap came up and kept in the second place all the rest of the way, coining in two lengths ahead of the others, who were close together.— Final heat: Course, same as last heat. Freshwater and Brown 1, Griffiths and Kilsby 0, Ayliner and Boden 0, Crump and Benney 0. They all got off at a clipping pace, Aylmer and Boden drawing slightly in ad- vance, Griffiths and Kilsby being fouled by a wherry immedi- ately after starting. They were soon clear, however, and a rat- tling race ensued to the Suspension Bridge, where all were level. Here Freshwater and Brown began to draw ahead, and increasing their lead rounded at Westminster Bridge two or three lengths ahead, Griffiths and Kilsby second, Crump and Benney bringing up the rear. A severe struggle ensued right up to Vauxhall, but no change took place during the remainder of the distance, and Freshwater and Brown arrived at the Ship leading by three lengths, Griffiths and Kilsby leading the others— who were close together— by a length. EXETER ROWING REGATTA.— The annual rowing regatta of Exeter came off on Monday on the Exeter Canal. The attendance of spectators was large, although the weather in the early part of the day was very unfavourable. The following is a return of the sports:— Two- oared 8hips'Boats; two prizes of 14sand 7s; course, three miles; no coxswain— Dreadnought ( Moore) 1, Black Bees ( Moore) 2, Little Lion ( Harris) 3. Owing to some misunderstand- ing, the boats did not go round the course more than twice.— Skiff Race, for £ 1 Is, divided into two prizes, 14s and 7s— Marquis ( Rowe) 1, Royal Standard ( Richards) 2, Alexandra ( Simmons) 3.

This club held its first fete on Sept 1 at the Antelope Cricket Ground, and despite numerous attractions elsewhere they suc- ceeded in placing before the public such an excellent programme as to secure the attendance o » a company extending over 1,000 per- sons. The weather was remarkably fine. The band of the 1st Hants Engineers were in attendance, and by their admirable per- formances considerably enlivened the proceedings. The ground was carefully staked out, and a course for the matches secured ex- tending over a sixth of a mile. The whole of the races came off with commendable punctuality, and the various arrangements were carried out by the committee in the most perfect manner, considerable satisfaction being evinced in all quarters. The " great attraction" of the day was of course the appearance of E. Mills, the six mile champion of the world, whose recent defeats of Deerfoot, Lang, and others rendered his appearance here a matter of some interest, and all who saw him were highly de- lighted with the ease with which he ran the distance allotted to him. The following were the prizes contested for, those in which the value of the prize is not mentioned being confined to the members of the club, and the others open f » r general competition:— 150 Yards Flat Race ( referee, A. Pell); first prize, a gold scarf pin, F. Dabell; second, a cigar holder, E. John- son ; third, a portmonnaie, E. Humphry. S. Hoare, W. Wood- house, and W. Weston also ran. Time, 18 sec.— One Mile Race ( referee H. Diaper); first prize a race glass, J. Muir: second, an electro- plate tankard, A. Allen; third, a scarf ring, E. Hum- phry; fourth, a tankard, F. Waterman.

James and J. Harman. Eighteen laps were required to complete the distance. James and Harman started well together, but when about half the distance had been accomplished James took a lead, and Mills speedily overtook and passed Har- man. When two miles were got over, Mills overtook James, and appeared to take it very easy in his company till just coming in, when he shot ahead of him, and won by about three yards.

The first race was between H. Tudor of Dudley Port and J. Wraden of Tividale, who came to the mark to run a spin of six score yards, for £ 5 a side. Both men were in excellent trim. Tudor was waited upon by T. Jones ( alias Brushey) of Birming- ham, and Wraden by T. Thomas. Mr Butler of Tividale did the needful as referee. The betting was 6 to 4 on Wraden. The men were fully 20 minutes in attempting to get away; at last Tudor got off with the best of the start, which he maintained, and ran in a winner by two yards. Acland of Dudley Port and Webb of Kates Hill came next to the ground to run 120 yards, Acland receiving three yards and a half start, for £ 5 a side. The condition of both men was all their friends could desire. Acland was attended by J. Long of Dudley Port, and Webb by Jones ( Brushey). Mr Jay acted as referee. The betting was 6 to 4 on Acland to* some amount, his friends booking it safe with the three yards and a half given. The men did not get away till their time allowed ( 15 minutes) was up, when they got off, Acland nearly keeping the advantage given in the start, and running in a winner by one yard and a half. J.

SNIPE INN, AUDENSHAW. ! SATURDAY, AUG 29.— THE RACE FOR THE CHAMPION CUP. I — For a pedestrian contest, or, in fact, for the pursuit of any of the other various out- door pastimes, no more beautiful weather could possibly have been desired than that which prevailed to- day. In addition to the requirements for sport these grounds con- ; tain appliances for gymnastic exercises, as well as a bowling- | green in excellent condition, and a visit thereto was likewise pleasant on account of the floral treat they afford. The event which had been arranged to come off was a race of one mile, for the Champion Cup and £ 25 aside, between the apparently invin- cible W. Lang ( alias Crowcatcher) of Middiesborough and P. Stapleton of Staleybridge, to witness which nearly 800 persons as- sembled. Among those present were representatives of the Turf, the gun, the Ring ( wrestling as well as pugilistic), and the canine species; also pedestrian trainers, backers, and pedestrians themselves, the latter including 8. Albison of Bow- lee, J. Sanderson ( alias Treacle) of Whitworth, near Rochdale, ; P. Holroyd of Mirfleld, J. Smith of Manchester, and many others of less note. In addition to those gathered within the en- i closure a considerable number of people had stationed themselves in the adjacent fields, from whence, through the clusters of trees. ; they endeavoured to obtain glimpses of the contest. We have on | many occasions given publicity to the extraordinary achieve- ments of W. Lang, before whom some of the fastest pedes- trians in England have had to succumb, in races of various dis- tances. Stapleton also possesses more than ordinary reputation for speed, and his capabilities are known in towns and cities widely apart from the locality in which he resides, one of his principal successes being upon this course on the 24th of January last, when he easily defeated 4. Day of Brighouse, Yorkshire, for the trophy he has since held, and which was " the bone of con- tention" this afternoon. Lang, who is at present somewhat fleshy, entered the ground accompanied by his backer and trainer G. Martin of London, and a bevy of local friends, Stapleton bemg attended by his did supporter, J. Woolley of Staleybridge. Staple- ton, who appeared in iiis usual wiry condition, had been prepared for this event by J. Schofield of Mossley. The course being 540 yards in circumference, it required three revolutions and 140 yards to complete the distance of one mile. Notwithstanding that the tempting odds of 5 to 1 were offered on Lang at start, and much more early in the race, we did not see a single wager made, and this furnishes little ground for surprise, as, after Lang's accomplishment of a mile in 4min 21| sec on the 11th of July last, when he easily beat Sanderson by nearly ten yards at that distance, none but the veriest sceptic could," for an instant doubt but that the man of Midalesborongh would again prove victorious to- day. The contest was fixed for five o'clock, but with that " punctuality'' which frequently characterises pedestrianism the men did not toe the mark until nearly an hour and a half after the appointed time. Mr T. Warren, the proprietor of the grounds, filled the offices of stakeholder and referee, and tke course, notwithstanding the recent heavy rains, was in excellent condition. The men having stripped for action, Lang took a lengthy preliminary canter, running three- fourths of a lap round, and then proceeded to the mark. The signal gun having been fired, thepedestriansstartedonthe journey which wastodecide who should be the Mile Champion of the Snipe Inn Ground. Lang, aswas expected, allowed Stapleton to show the way, which he did on passing the Stand by a couple of yards; being tolerably well used to this course, he swept closely round the next bend, and soon after entering the back stretch, Stipleton held the lead by a out four yards, the pace being good. Coining along the end of the course on the left of the Stand, Lang began slightly to make up leeway, still continuing to narrow the gap as he proceeded in the straight, and though no change had taken place in their positions, Stapleton was only a little more than a yard in advance when they again passed the referee. On arriving at the next turn, Stapleton gave a spurt, by which he regained the advantage he had previously held, but it was what Lang, thus early in the race, could well afford to allow him to possess, as he ( Lang) had ob- viously ample energies in reserve. In this way they proceeded up the far side of the ground, where Stapleton exhibited symptoms of distress, and on rounding the succeeding bend, Lang again still more closely approached his opponent. Immediately after next entering the straight, Stapleton, who had led all the way, ran across the course and gave up the contest, he having then ran two laps, less thirty yards. Lang, of course, went over the re- maining portion of the distance at his pleasure, this being one of his many very easy victories, as there is no doubt but that he could have passed Stapleton at any period of the hollow race if he had been so inclined. By the result, Lang has added another valuable, though for the present temporary, ornament to his bxiffet, which previously displayed several handsome trophies, gained by the exercise of superior speed in the athletic pastime of pedestrianism. CANINE.— 8. Sutcliff's Tyler and W. Schora's Spring met here this afternoon ( Aug 29) to run 200 yards, for £ 5, the heavier dog giving two yards and a half to the pound, half in and half out. Tyler was 31b heavier, and had to give Spring seven yards and a half. On the pistol being fired they were let go, when Tyler won by three yards. The betting opened at evens, but came to odds on Tyler. BUTTERFLY AND NANCY.— W. Neild's Nancy of Mossley and J. Roberts's Butterfly of Staleybridge entered the course this after- noon to run 200 yards, when Nancy proved the winner. WRESTLING.— DOLAN AND HARRISON.— These men meet here this afternoon to wrestle their match, for £ 10 a side, at three o'clock. W. Schora now holds £ 5 each, and he is also to be referee. RABBIT SWEEPSTAKES.— A rabbit sweepstakes will take place here on Saturday, Sept 12, for all weights, for prizes of £ 2 10s ; entrance 2s 6d, dogs under 20ib Is 6d. A free half sove- reign will also be fished for in the pond on the same day ; en- trance 6d each, returned in refreshment. ARTINGSTALL AND ANDREW.— Mr Holden now has £ 10 each for the match between these men to run 120 yards here on Satur- day, Sept 19, Ariingstall to have two yards start. Another de- posit of £ 5 each was to be paid on Saturday, Sept 5, and another of £ 5 each on Saturday, Sept 12. R. Artingstall of Audenshaw seeing a challenge from Hack- ingly of Bradford to run him, he ( Artingstall) cannot think of running such a man on equal terms, but will take five yards start in 120, for £ 25 a side, or will jump him at one stand forward spring jump, or from one hop to ten and a jump, for £ 25 a side, to come off at the Snipe Inn. Audenshaw. By forwarding articles to A. Taj lor, Red Lion, Kirkgate, Leeds, and a deposit to J. Holden, Manchester, a match will be ensured. CITY GROUNDS, MANCHESTER. SATURDAY", AUG 29.— GREENWOOD AND SCHOFIELD.— E. Greenwood ( alias the German Lad) of Manchester and W. Scho- field of Hey wood having agreed to contest the distance of 200 yards, for £ 25 a side, here, this afternoon, there was a numerous attendance of visitors present, the weather being very inviting. In former years Greenwood has displayed extraordinary speed in sprint races, having lowered the colours of some of the speediest metropolitan as well as provincial pedestrians, but, for some time past he has not been actively engaged in the pursuit of his adopted profession. He has, however, now joined an influential " stable," and again appeared upon the pedestrian stage, his energies having apparently improved rattier than retrogaded, and he also still retains the possession of a full share of that confidence which is so essential to foot racing success. Diminutive in stature though he be, he has long been acknowledged as a " dangerous customer" in contests of a comparatively short length, and he favoured the public of the " hardware town" with a specimen of his racing abilities on the 25th of last month, by easily carrying off the first prize of £ 20, in a 210 yards handicap, at the Queen's Hotel, Shef- field, in which the liberal start of 52 yards had been accorded to him. The event of this afternoon was, therefore, looked upon as " a foregone conclusion" for Greenwood, the betting being 2 to 1 and 5 to 2 on him, and S. Albison, the cele- brated pedestrian, discharged the duties cf referee. The " race,'' if we may honour it by th » title, may be described in a few words. After four or five false attempts, the men bounded off, Greenwood immediately showing in tront, and gliding along at a slashing pace. The favourite very soon had the race safe, holding a com- manding lead ; and, though Greenwood slackened his speed prior to reaching the goal, he passed the referee the easiest of winners by six or seven yards, Schofield never possessing a shadow of a chance throughout. Greenwood, who seemed in excellent trim, had been prepared by J. Nuttall of Manchester, Schofield appear- ing under the auspices of G. Darley. MONDAY.— RABBIT COURSING.— A match at rabbits came off here this afternoon in the presence of a small company between G. Thomas's Lady of Hanley and G. Bennett's Jemmy, 11 out of 21 courses, 60 yards law, for £ 10 a side, the last- named dog having one rabbit given. The conditions were that Lady was not to ex- ceed 211b nor Jemmy 201b weight. Jemmy proved an easy win- ner, as, with the one conceded to him, lie scored li to Lady's 7. JIP AND FAN.— Mr Holden has received £ 2 each for the match at rabbits between J. Hibbert's Jip of Droylsden and J. Allsop's Fan of Gorton the best of 21 courses, 55 yards law, for £ 10 a side. The event is to come off here on 8ept 26. PEDESTRIANISM.— T. Manock aud E. Mills ( both of Rochdale) have now deposited £ 20 each in the hands of Mr Holden for their race of 120 yards, for £ 25 a side, which is to come off' at this place on Sept 19. The residue is to be staked on ttie day of running. BROWN AND ROTHWELL.— These men have handed to Mr Hol- den £ 5 each for their contest of 130 yards, for £ 25 a side, which is to be decided here on Oct 3. £ 5 each more is ta be put down on Sept 7. BEDDOW AND WILLCOCK.— The race of 300 yards, for £ 25 a side, between G. Beddow of London and VV. Willcock of Man- chester is to come off here on Sept 12, at four o'clock. Mr G. Hardy of the Rising Sun, Swan street, Manchester, now holds £ 20 each, and he has been appointed referee. SALFORD BOROUGH GROUNDS. MONDAY, AUG 31.— BOOTH AND WORTHINGTON.— It is not often that we are called upon to report a pedestrian match between two venerable individuals, who are rapidly approaching the sexagerary period of their existence, but such becomes our pro- vince on the present occasion. The antique men engaged were W. Booth of Bolton, who has seen no fewer than 58 summers, and J. Worthington ( alias liadd) of Astley Bridge, who first saw the light 55 years ago. There was a gooclly attendance of spectators present to witness this novel contest, notwithstanding that heavy rain continued to descend during the afternoon. Upwards of 30 years have come and gone since these " fleet- footed heroes" origi- nally engaged in pedestrian conflict, at which epoch of their lives they ran against each other in a couple of matches, of 120 and 200 yards respectively, both of which were won by Worthington. Since that period Booth has had ample time to cogitate over his defeat, and, it would appear, that he at length came to the resolute de- termination to endeavour to avenge it. He accordingly entered into another treaty with his more " juvenile" friend, and, as years had increased, it was thought desirable that the distance also should be, and they therefore agreed to test their now ancient energies over half a mile of ground, for " a tenner" a side. Mr A. Attenbury discharged the duties of referee, and the betting at start was 2 to 1 on the " old- un" ( Booth). Those of our readers who venerate the venerable will doubtless excuse us for not criticising the performance, and therefore it may be sufficient to say that both men went along with a gameness worthy of much younger antagonists, but Worthington tiring, and giving up 20 yards from home, Booth was enabled to attain the object of his ambition by winning easily, thus proving that age and victory are not always opposed to each other. VICTORIA RACE GROUNDS, LEEDS. SATURDAY, AUG 29.— There was only a moderate attendance at these grounds to- day, to witness the race between Richardson and Procter, distance 120 yards, for £ 10 a side. The betting was very dull, Procter being the favourite at 5 to 4, with few takers. They started very evenly, but shortly after the start Richardson showed No. 1, aud won easily by five yards. MONDAY.— BRADLEY AND NELSON.— These men ran here this day their 120 yards race, for £ 5 a side. The race excited very little interest, and was won by Bradley. STOKES AND BOOTH.— The 100 yards race, for £ 20 a side, be- tween these men is fixed for Saturday evening, Sept 5. POPPLEWELL AND STOKES.— The match to run 100 yards, for £ 10 a side, between Popplewell of Castleford and B. Stokes of Lofthouse is fixed to come off here on Saturday, Sept 12. WOODROW AND EMSLEY.— A match has been made to run 440 yards at G. Bennett's, St Thomas's Grounds, Stanningley, for £ 10 a side, between J. Emsley ( not Jos) of Pudsey, and S. Woodrow of Bowling, which is open for £ 25 a side. To be run at these grounds on Monday, Sept 21. CANINE — KITTY AND TAN.— These dogs are matched to run 200 yards, for £ 15 a side, here, on Saturday, Sept 19. ST GEORGE'S RACE GROUND, HONLEY. J. Haigh begs to inform the sporting public that his handicap will be left open until Wednesday morning, Sept 9, when it will positively close, and the usual rules strictly adhered to. OLDFIELD AND LODGE.— This race is off. Lodge having forfeited. J. Haigh of Paddock and J. Carter of Gommersall will decide their race of 150 yards on Saturday, Sept 5. The whole of the money was to have been made good on Sept 4. The men are re- ported to be in good condition, and from their merits a good race is expected. B. Senior of Skelmanthorpe and F. Jones of Burnsley are matched to run 150 yards, for £ 20 a side, here, on Saturday, Sept 12. £ 10 a side is now down in the hands of J, Nixons who is to be final stakeholder and reierae. SUPPLEMENT TO BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, SEPTEMBER 13, 1863. CRICKET. NORTH v SOUTH OF ENGLAND- This match was commenced at Edge Hill, Liverpool, on Thurs- day. Aug 27, and the particulars of the first day s play were given last week. On FRIDAY, shortly after eleven, the bell rang for p ay, when Mr Grace and Griffith made their appearance, to the bowling Of Wootton and Jackson. The ground was livelier, and they " bumped'' a bit. Griffith scored fast at first off Jackson, but at length he drove one back rather sharply to the bowler having contributed 15 by a four ( drive), two threes and singles; two Wickets had now fallen for 29 runs. Moitlock followed, and nearly run out. Mr Grace was immediately afterwards caught at the wicket, playing a somewhat " steady" innings of 17, inclu- ding two fours ( drives from each bowler), two twos and the rest were in singles; three wickets down for 35 runs. Cattyn joined his brother county player, but their companionship did not exist long— Mortlock, letting out at one of Jackson s, gave Grundy a skyer to perform upon, which he did to the satisfaction of himself, and thus four went for 41. Caffyn's oft stump was then dislodged by Jackson, which made a total of 43. H. ii. Stephenson and Bennett were then seen together, and the former made a good cut from Jackson for lour, and then a drive for that number, when he was bowled ott his legs; total 61, for six wickets. Ellis followed, and soon made 9 runs, by a three, square leg- hit from Wootton for four, and a drive for two. Bain here stopped the game for upwards of half an hour. Ellis then rattled away in a brilliant style, scoring JO, while Stephenson only obtained three singles, lliey brought on Jackson at Grundy's end. Wootton then got or. e by Elhs- an ex- cellent ball; his figures were two fours, two threes, three twos, and singles. Seven wickets had now been disposed of for 84 runs, and the betting against the runs being got off. Julius made a three, and was caught short square- leg ; eight for 8, runs. Sewell joined Stephenson, and he, too, soon passed Stephenson ? score of 8 for which he had been in one hour and a half. Sewell soon ASHBOURNE. STAFFORDSHIRE RANGERS v " Invincible Ashbourne, beware of the day When the Rangers shall meet thee in battle array. Such was the prophetic lay of the wandering minstrel as he marshalled his forces at Ashbourne on Thursday, Aug 27. After winning the toss the Bangers went to the wickets, and succeeded in scoring 134 runs, a formidable total on a slow, dead ground ; Messrs Bateman and Lyon putting together 53 and 31 by very fine nlav This innings was several times interrupted by rain. Ash- bourne then went in, but their usual good fnrtune deserted them, and in spite of the steady play of Messrs H Smith and B Fitz- herbert they were all disposed of within a few minutes of time for the small toial of 53, the Rangers thus winning the match with 80 runs to spare. We ought not to omit to notice a splendid catch made by Mr Hoare at square leg ; the ball was caught the moment after he fell on his back on slippery, wet ground, and on a steep hill side, and was really a wonderful performance. This is the first time the Ashbourne Club have suffered defeat for two season?, and far be it. from us to wound their sensitive bosoms by any unseemly exultation. No, rather let us drop a veil over the harrowing scene, and trust that during the long evenings of the ensuing winter they will regain their usual unruffled composure. STAFFORDSHIRE RANGERS, C. B.

Willsher, the last man, joined Sewell, and great excitement prevailed as to the 114runs being wiped off. Thetelegraph announced 112, when Will- sher made asingletothe leg from Wootton. Tinley bowled a maiden ( slows), and off Wootton's next Tinley made a tie innings of it. Sewell then made another single, and Willsher was bowled by the slows— thus heading their opponents by 1 run only, fiewell s 20 comprised three fours, a two, and singles. The innings closed at ten minutes past two o'clock, and a finer display of the game could not possibly have been exhibited. Wooiton's bowling was magnificent, as was also the fielding of the North side, with only one° exceptions. The North sent in Tinley and Tan- ant, te the bowling of Willsher and Callyn. The two bats commenced hit- ting in earnest, fours and threes being the order of the day, and when 21 had been scored Griffith took the ball at Willslier's end. Tarrant then made a splendid leg- hit from Caffyn for five, fol- lowed up by a drive from Griffith for three. Bennett was then tried at Caffyn's end, off whose first ball Tarrant drove for three. Runs were scored quickly, and Sewell was put on at Griffith's end, off whom Tinley was caught in the slip, having played both a steady and a hitting innings of 19, composed of a four, two threes, three twos, & c ; the first wicket thus fell for 47 runs. Rowbotham followed, when rain sent the players to the tent, but only for a few minutes. On resuming, Ellis was put on Bennett s end, with his slows, and Willsher returned to his wicket., off whom H. H. made a good catch, which got rid of that dangerous customer Hay ward; thus three wickets fell for 68 runs. Tarrant immedi- ately followed him ; total the same, of which he had contributed 33 in a most spirited and plucky manner, comprising a five, four fours, three threes, a two, and one single only. E. Stephen- son and Carpenter made a long stand, the bowling being quite first- class, Willslier's especially, who, previous to Stephenson being disposed of at the wicket, had bowled 28 bails for one run. Stephenson's figures were a four ( leg- hit), two threes ( drive and a cut), a two, and singles ; total 96, for five wickets. Clarke was the next to follow, and Willsher having delivered four more maidens, which were played with the greatest difficulty by Carpen- ter, he was in the next over caught by a " a popper" in the slip, having, in one hour and a half, only scored 13 runs! made by two twos and singles. Clarke and Anderson had nothing to play but maiden overs, Willsher bowling four more in succession, when Clarke made a splendid leg- hit for four, and was caughi from another " popper'' of Willsher's at short on. Thus, seven wickets fell for 112 runs. Anderson and Jackson obtained a three each besides, and the stumps were drawn ; total 118. SATURDAY.— The weather was lovely, and the contest exceed- ingly interesting. Willsher and Catfyn started to bowl; the latter was changed for Ellis when the total had reached 137. It was then Anderson's lot to be at last caught in the slip. He had had several narrow escapes round about point and slip, owing to Willsher's " poppers;'' his figures were two fours, a three, and singles. Total, eight for 141. Grundy and Wootton soon fell vic- tims to the slows, and Jackson brought out his bat for a well- played innings of 18, composed of a four ( drive), two threes, two twis, & c. The innings was concluded at twenty minutes past twelve o'clock for 146, leaving the South that number to get to win. A heavy roller was applied, and the Southerns commenced their task. Betting: 6 to 4 against them. The two gentlemen first appeared, against the bowling ofjsWootton and Jackson; Ke'son was caught at point in Jackson's fourth over; total 5. Sewell followed, and Grace was given out leg before wicket; total 6. Griffith made a run, when Bewell received a bailer from Jackson; thus three wickets went for 7 runs. Mortlock took his place, and Wootton bowled nine overs in succession, when Griffith made a splendid cut from him for four. Here slaughter commenced. Griffith was splendidly caught at point, with one hand, a rather sharp hit; his figures were a four, two threes, a two, and singles. Four wickets down for 27 runs. The fifth ( Caffyn's) was given out leg before wicket; total, the same; and Mortlock was caught between long stop and cover slip; total still the same, and any odds on the North. Bennett joined Stephenson, he made a good cut from Jackson for four, and then his leg stump was taken by an easy ball; seven wickets for 36 runs. Ellis came, and his timber was also soon disturbed by Jackson ; total the same, for eight wickets. Dinner here inter- vened, and afterwards Willsher joined Stephenson, and after some very steady play caused Tinley's slows to be substituted for Wootton's, and in his fourth over he disarranged Wilisher's stumps, he making a four, two twos, and singles ; total 59. Julius was sent in next, as the last man, to"' attempt a victory for the South, but it was a forlorn hope, 87 runs being required before they could claim it. The result was soon determined, Julius being stumped off the slows ; thus the North were declared the victors by 85 runs. Time, quarter- past four o'clock. A very large company had assembled, and were assembling, on the Saturday afternoon, when the match was suddenly brought to a conclusion This is the third match the North has won this season against the South. The arrangements throughout were complete, and Mr Langton, the energetic hon sec, was ever in attendance to see that all the necessary and proper arrangements were carried out.

GENTLEMEN OF KENT v GENTLEMEN OF SUSSEX. AUG 27.— This match was commenced at the Bat and Ball Ground, Gravesend, on Thursday, Aug 27. The weather on that, day was fine during the early part, but the play was stopped by rain at six o'clock— Sussex having completed their first innings, and two wickets of Kent having fallen for 11 runs. The play had commenced by Mr Chapman and Mr King going in on the part of Sussex, and their both being got rid of for 8. The third wicket fell for 43, the fourth for 44, the fifth for 54. Mr Fawcett played a good innings, and his hits consisted of three fours, a three, a two, & c. Mr Hyndman also played well. The remaining wickets fell as follows:— Sixth for 79, seventh for 86, eighth for 88, ninth and tenth for 105. Mr Fitzgerald headed the score, and his hits comprised three fours, a three, and a brace of twos. Mr W. S. Norton and Mr W. H. Wathen bowled throughout., except the few overs taken by Mr Biron. Mr Fawcett and Mr Heath com- menced bowling for Sussex, and both Mr W. S. Norton and Mr Bhaw retired with the total at two. The third and fourth wickets fell on Friday morning, when 24 had been scored, the fifth and sixth for 29 and 30, and the seventh for 39. Mr B. Norton's was a well played innings, and his score included three fours, three twos, & c; and Mr Biron and Mr Estridge did good ser- vice— the latter bringing out his bat. The eighth wicket fell for 67, ninth for 111, and the innings closed with Kent 20 ahead. Mr King and Mr Smith scored 81 on behalf of Sussex before the many bowlers on the Kent side could separate them. Mr King retained his wicket, and was joined by Mr Hyndman, Mr Chapman, and Mr Fitzgerald in turn, and the score was raised to 103 for two wickets, to 116 for three, to 122 for four, and to 131 for five. Mr King at that time was caught at short- leg, and his well- played 56 were put together by three fours, five threes, seven twos, & c. Mr Napper went in to Mr Fawcett, and both added freely to the score; the latter was caught at mid- off, with the total at 152. The two gentlemen that followed were both very cleverly taken at point, and Mr Napper ( after playing well for his runs) at slip. The seventh wicket ( Mr Pope's), and the eighth ( Mr Shearman's) fell for 166, and the ninth for 170; the score reached 187 ere the last wicket fell. This terminated the play of Friday, which was very fine throughout. Kent appeared to have all their work to do, but owing to the very fine innings which Mr Troughton played, and the assistance obtained from Mr Estridge, who went in first with him and remained till 55 had been made, and fine contributions by Mr Wathen and the Hon D. Monson, the game terminated in favour of Kent by five wickets. The following is the score:— SUSSEX. 1st inn 2d inn A. Chapman, b W. S. Norton 0 b W. S. Norton 9 G. W. King, c Alexander, bW.

Victory declared for the Players, who, after many reverses, finished the match under a heavy fire of rain.
