[ GRATIS.] SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1863. [ GRATIS.] RACING ON THE CONTINENT. \ BADEN- BADEN STEEPLE CHASES. ( FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Although Wednesday, the 9th of September, was no racing day at Baden, it was nevertheless considered important in connection with the meeting, as on that afternoon was fixed the ceremony of walking over the steeple chase ground. Towards twelve o'clock, therefore, the road to Iffezheirn once more assumed the appear- ance of race going, by the number of carriages filled with sports- men that were bound for the sporting rendezvous. Two o'clock was the hour fixed for the meet, and by that time Mr Mackenzie Grieves was waiting at the Stands ready to walk round and show the course to all who wished to become well acquainted with its various peculiarities, and these were many more than we expected would have undertaken the fatigue of such an excursion, for, by the time the start was made, there must have been nearly a hun- dred pedestrians collected, besides a numerous cavalcade of riders on Baden- Baden hacks. To explain the course we cannot do better than request our readers to follow us a little across country, in our walk with Mr Mackenzie Grieves. The first obstacles that stop the way are placed in the flat race course, where they start, in the shape of three flights of hurdles; then in front of the Stands, on the ground that has recently been prepared as a training gallop, is a very small water jump, with a hurdle on the taking off side; this being succeeded, after turning round a flag, by the Grande Riviere as it is called, which is a piece of water about seventeen feet wide, with a good taking off and landing on the other side, so that any hunter could do it in the fly easily, although, to give everything a chance, it has been prepared with a good sound bottom and banks, and not very deep, so that the in and out game can be practised here without any risk or danger. After this formidable affair is crossed, the line of country becomes very deep, through heavy petato grounds that sink considerably above the fetlock, the first fence over it being a post and rail, not very high, but very strong; then a small ditch, which, by the by, caused great amusement to the gents on the hacks, or rather to those who looked on at their manoeuvres, especially when a very tall Frenchman on a galUnt grey tried to show the way over, but got a dose of the cold water system for his pains; and his second attempt was painfully amu sing, as being exactly in accordance with Punch's Tom Noddy idea of getting over to the other side. A very strong brick- built wall next stops the way, about three feet and a half high, then a ditch and hurdle, succeeded by a stiff post and rail, and then afence which they call a barriere, but which we should term a small park paling. After this a double is crossed, and then they enter the forest, this being a very awkward idea for a steeple chase, for with a pulling horse going through it would be almost madness, as the trees are very large and very thickly planted together, besides which there is not the semblance of a path, or anything to guide one, and the distance thus to traverse is about 3( X) yards. After earning out, however, from this, the ground improves a little, and as soon as the big brook is crossed again, the line is over some meadow land to the big embankment, which may be described as exactly like the embankment of a rail- way, and then supposing after one has climbed up such an ascent, and runs a hundred yards along the ridge, and then descends again, it would show exactly what the steeplechasers have to do at Baden. This feat being safely per- formed, however, there remains then nothing more to be done than jump over three flights of hurdles in the race course, and get home as fast as you can. Arriving at the finishing part of the question, however, reminds us that wo must cut along with our narrative, not forgetcing, however, to mention that there was capital fun at the race course after the walking over business had been transacted, the first item on the card being an impromptu race between eight Baden hacks, gentlemen riders, which resulted ina dead heat between theFrince deMurat'shackandMrBlount's, we cannot say with owners up, because we believe they belonged to a livery stable keeper at Baclen; but, to be very particular, we can say," with their proprietors for the time beinginthepigskin." After several other races and matches of this description had been decided, a foot race was contested up the well kept lawn in front of the Stand, and here also the Prince de Murat was again con- spicuous by proving himself the Deerfoot of the day. These sports having terminated, a select portion of the sportsmen betook themselves to the village, where the several competitors for the morrow's event were located, for the purpose of taking stock as to condition, & c; and first, the winner of the Market Harboro', Bridegroom, was inspected, and by those who had never seen him before he was much admired for his power and commanding ap- pearance, but thought too full of flesh for running, although his friends asserted that he always carries a good deal in his work. Then Lorigrange was looked over, and good judges thought him very useful looking, and just the cut of a hunter to get over the heavy ground. The Colonel also came in for a levee at his stable, and we never saw the old horse looking better, his wonderful freshness on his pins, and equally wonderful career, being exactly the topic of conversation when the sportsmen separated for the afternoon for their several carriages to roll them back to Baden. Thursday was a beautiful day, and a brilliant attendance as usual occupied the Stand and enclosure. The King, however, was totally unrepresented, and not a bet could be got on anything, a circumstance that caused many to condemn the present plan of having the steeple chase so late in the week, but rather that it should be run as it was in 1861, on some day between the flat race days. Nominally, however, Bridegroom was the favourite, and the Colonel second in demand, whilst a few bets were taken about Betsy Baker at 5 to 1 for small amounts. The race is fully des- cribed below, and as the mismanagement connected with the qua- lifications of the race was fully explained in these columns last week, there remains little more for us to say, excepting that it took every one by surprise to see such clinkers as The Colonel and Bridegroom cut up so badly, and get beaten so very easily by the German division. There can be no doubt, however, that the state of the ground was the cause of it, for in no part of the race could they ever go the pace over it. We do not think that the course is such a very bad one, or particularly unfair, excepting the little journey through the forest, and the embankment, which impediment must indeed be done away with before another year, if the authorities have the least idea of getting Englishmen and horses to take their share in it; and another thing we must quarrel with, is that clause in the conditions that makes winners of the year carry 101b extra, for why should such a great winner as Betsy Baker receive such a pull, just because she has not won in 1863. There might be an allowance for maiden horses, and maiden jockeys, but when any particular time is specified it looks as if the race was made for one particular animal. Betsy Baker won this race, it will be recollected, in 1861, when she was also ridden by her gallant owner, Count Westphalen, whose pluck then in win- ning after breaking his collar bone, filled us with admiration, but the great judgment and determination that he exhibited in secur- ing this victory almost surpasses anything we have ever seen. As we mentioned once before, Betsy Baker is a prime favourite with the Westphalen family, who are renowned in Germany for their sporting attributes ; and in the winter she regularly carries the count's sister hunting, only leaving the hunting stud just to be got into trim for a steeple chase or two, on which occasions she is put under the care of May, the Duke of Nassau's trainer, who is always ready to oblige the count in this way, as he trained for his father many years ago. Nothing could now exceed the condition of the mare, who was last year looking very different ( having been amiss then), when she was beaten by Medora. THURSDAY, SEPT 10.— GRAND 8TEEPLE CHASE of 500 fredericks d'or ( 10,750f), given by several promoters of the sport, for horses of all countries; entrance 10 fredericks ( 215f) ; 1601b each; a winner of a steeple chase worth 200 fredericks ( 4,300f) 10lb extra; to be ridden by gentlemen who are members of the Jockey Club of Northern Germany or the Casino of Vienna, or of the Jockey Clubs of England or France, and officers in full pay of both services of all countries, or any gentleman who is presented by two members of any of the above clubs; four miles ( over 19 fences); 8 subs.

Revoke went away with the lead, but his career in front was of short duration, for at the first fence ( a hurdle) down he came a burster, and the running was then taken up by Longrange, in whose track closely followed Betsy Baker, and then at an interval of several lengths came The Colonel, waited upon, at a respectful distance, by Bride- groom, and Hazard brought up the rear. The little water jump, in front of the Stand, was taken by the leading pair together, and then they rounded the bend for the big brook, which both took in their stride just as easily as they had done the other, but the favourite, in their wake, lost time here by going in and out, and Hazard put her chance out altogether by sending her jockey pebble searching to the bottom. After the two next fences were cleared, it was seen that the German pair had gained such a tre- mendous lead, as to make it become the general opinion that the favourites were letting them get away too far, and that they would never catch them, and the further they went the more pre- valent became this idea; for although the old Colonel did appear to make up a little ground before they reached the wood, he must certainly have lost a good deal going through it; for so much time elapsed before he followed the Germans out, that his friends, as Bridegroom's, half believed they were lost there, and the race now in fact was on lyr a match between Betsy Baker and Long- range, both keeping well together, though the mare always waited just in the other's rear, excepting once or twice, when her gallant rider drew her up to her opponent's head, as if for a feeler, and then drew her back again, without ever, however, attempting to take the lead until turning the flag for the big embank ment, when Betsy gained an advantage of five or six lengths by Longrange running very wide, notwithstanding the Count suffered his compatriot to take the lead again up the embankment to the next flag, when he turned his mare short and took her as hard as she could pelt down the descent, Long- range, on the contrary, going further on for an easier place, and by it let Betsy get into the race course ten lengths in front; and although Count Westphalen steadied her, and let Longrange get on tolerably close terms with her towards the finish, he never allowed him the lead again, and passed the post a gallant win- ner by two lengths. Both the favourites were pumped out before they came to the^ embankment, and at this point The Colonel pulled up, but Bridegroom held on and succeeded in carrying off the barren honours of third place. Count de St Sauveur hazarded'' another attempt after his cold bath in the brook, but pulled up after getting over three more fences ; and Count Talon, after going partially over the course and getting another fall, re- turned home by a short cut, his horse having broken down. Net val" t tf the stake, 10,535f, and the second received the entries, w S^ ch amounted to l, 720f.

Cowley 0 M Desvigne's ch g ltlgoletto, aged, 1541b J. Quinton 0 Betting: 2 to 1 on Shandy Gaff, and 4 to 1 agst Thornton Lass. Shandy Gaff took up the running after getting over the first hurdle, and increasing her lead throughout won by about a quar- ter of a mile. Thornton Lass and Rigoletto both fell at the brook, but they were quickly remounted and set going again, after which Rigoletto fell at the wall, and getting loose injured himself rather severely. Bright Star refused the fourth fence, and was not per- severed with any further. SPA STEEPLE CHASES. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE. SIR : A very good day's sport is expected at Spa on Monday, Sept 21. The bill of fare includes the Grand Steeple Chase, amounting to about 14,000f ( fifteen horses have accepted © ut of twenty- three entered), the Hunter's Stake for half bred horses ( five entries), and a Steeple Chase for Spa ponies. The ground is in excsllent order, and the fences have been altered so as to give more room between the flags, that now a large field may start and plenty of room for all. In looking over the acceptances tor the Grand Steeple Chase I should take Maritana, 72 kilos, in H. Lamplugh's stable; and Duhallow, 72 kilos, to beat the field, but as Duhallow has lately taken to refusing I must discard him as an uncertain one, and look else- where. The Germans have accepted with Orpheus, 70 kilos, and St Marck, 80 kilos. Orpheus, carrying 67 kilos, won the Steeple Chase at Spa last June and came in alone, as by falls and refusals the rest were nowhere, and now, with 70 kilos on, he has nothing to complain of, but I prefer St Marck even with 80 kilos, who ran respectably in England in 1861, and since then has done very well on the Continent, having won the Berlin Steeple Chase in 1862, and this year the Great Hamburg Steeple Chase, carrying 1551b, beating Betsy Baker, 1601b ( second), also Longrange. Bride- groom, with I6 § lb on, can, according to the Baden- Baden per- I formance last week have but little chance, as Betsy Baker and ' pack saddles, and to be ridden sideways. The run in was a cu- i Longrange were both before him. I finally select Maritana or St rious sight: left hands working the rope bridles, right hands I Marck to win, giving preference to the former, with the uncertain flogging, both feet drumming at the ribs. The winner received Duhallow as a cockboat. For the Hunter's Stake, gentlemen 4 dollars, the second 1 dollar. riders, I shall rely upon Mr Riddell's Carew, who will be well ridden by his owner. E. H.

The treasurer having reported the funds to be in a healthy state, it was resolved to have an additional race for all ponies of and under 13 hands 3 inches high, not winners; catch weights; 2 dollars entrance, with 20 added; three quarters of a mile. Of the horses entered for this race, several were very dark, and mostly untried. Nigger had never been seen out of a trot; Consul was taken by his owner out of his trap on the course; Anything You Like was second horse in the Contadini Race, and probably had his rider stuck to the pack saddle instead of putting on a whippy ( object of horror to country nags), he might have done better. The race was won easily by Capt Spaight's ( 9th Regt) Shamrock, beating Capt Roberts's ( 9th Regt) Skittles, Capt Beresford's ( A D. C.) Nigger, Col Maude's ( R. A.) Consul, Lieut Stone's ( 4th Regt) Billy Bowling, D. A. C. G. Madden's Sultana, and Signor Politi's Anything You Like. AQUATICS. ARCHERY. A very successful two days' meeting came off on April 22 and 23 under the patronage of the Lord High Commissioner and the Major- General commanding, and under the stewardship of repre- sentatives from each corps in the garrison, together with two Ionian gentlemen. The race course is situated just outside Cas- trades, a suburb of the town of Corfu, and on the north shore of the Lake Calichiopulo, a vast salt- water lagoon and noted fishery. A long drought had dried and hardened the course, at other times a sticky swamp pitted with holes made by the hoofs of cattle at pasture. But fatigue parties under Royal Engineer talent levelled and smoothed an oblong course of about a mile, and the gentle- men jocks were perfectly satisfied with all arrangements. For the first time in Corfu a Grand Stand was erected, and spite of ridicule on the part of some, and anxiety as to its pecuniary suc- cess on the part of others, it cleared its expenses, and added materially to the comfort of those who availed themselves of it. An ex-.- ubaltern of " Dorling's corps,'' now a full private in H. M.' s 9th Regt, retailed " correct cards,'' a couple of bands played alter- nately, and the dog made up a very orthodox race course— nor were Aunt Sallies and refreshment booths wanting. It was a true Ionian spring day, with bright sun, clear atmosphere, and gentle breeze. Would that such a climate were ours throughout the year. At one o'clock, with military punctuality, the first race came off'. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22.— The ALEXANDRA BTAKES for ponies of 13 hands 3 inches high and under; 3 dollars entrance, with 45 added; lOst 71b each ; heats, half- a- mile. Lieut Goodeve's, ( R. A.)

Waverer Owner drawn Betting on this, and indeed on most of the race?, depended on individual interest in the animal rather than on its merits; yet Dervish had the call, though Shamrock, from his published pedi- gree ( by St Patrick, dam by Faugh a Ballagh out of Erin go Bragh) and his being unknown to the sporting parties in the gar- rison, stood well. Subsequently it got bruited about that he had but lately been relieved from his daily occupation of bringing in fuel, wood, and skins of olive oil, the worldly possessions of his ex- peasant master. He had hardly had time enough to get into racing condition after his Corfiote diet of vine leaves and thistles, and the first heat pumped him out. Hatpegs was also in favour, but a bolt at starting, and his total disappearance from the scene, settled his position on the telegraph post. The two last heats were won easily by Dervish.

On Wednesday, Sept 9, the County Dublin Archers had a picnic meeting in their grounds, Mountown, on which occasion the annual prizes were shot for. The weather was, fortunately, very fine. The shooting commenced at 1: 30, four dozen arrows at 80 and four dozen at 60 being shot both by ladies and gentlemen before luncheon, and two dozen at 60 and two dozen at 50 after the repast. The amount of prizes shot for was £ 20, and the Hon H. Hely Hutchinson, the president of the club, gave two ad- ditional prizes amounting to £ 5. The competition was keen and excellent, and the winners were:— Ladies: Miss Betham, first prize for highest value on gross score ( 346), £ 4 and the challenge prize for the greatest number of points ; Miss H. Mayne, second prize, greatest number of hits ( 59), £ 3, score 281 ; Miss Popham, third prize, for most golds ( 6), £ 2, 52 hits, 258 score ; fourth prize, £ 1, to Mrs Atkinson, for best gold, 47 hits, 203 score ; fifth prize, to Miss S. Plant, for best score at 60 yards, total hits 53, total score 229 ; and sixth prize to Mrs Macnamara for best score at 50 yards, total hits 16, total score 72. The unsuccessful com- petitors among the ladies were:— Miss Mayne, 33 hits, 123 score ; Miss Sydney- Smyth 26, 90 ; Miss Kent 16, 63 ; and Miss Cooper 2, 4. Mr Macnamara took the challenge prize, which, like that for the ladies, was given for the greatest number of points, and also the first prize, £ 4, for the highest value on gross score, 286, 58 hits ; second prize, £ 3, to Mr Betham, for the greatest number of hits, 52, total score 248 ; third, £ 2, to Mr W. 8. Betham, for most golds ( 3), his score being 148, 40 hits; fourth, £ 1, to Mr Beames, for best gold, the only one he made, and his score being 30 from 14 hits; fifth, or Hutchinson's prize, £ 2, for best score at 80 yards, to Mr Atkinson, total hits 49, total score 199; and sixth ( also Hutchinsonian), £ 1, for best score at 60 yards, not having won a prize, Mr Wood, total hits 26, total score 94. Mr Galloway, who did not take a prize, made 77 score from 21 hits. On Thursday the Norton Challenge Cup was shot for. The competition was open to all members of the County Dublin Archers, and the con- ditions were that the cup should be won by the gentleman making the best score in twelve dozen arrows at 100 yards, and that the prize should be held for one year only. There was also a handicap sweepstakes, regulated by the previous day's shooting and the number of entries. There were four competitors for the cup, and the results of their shooting were as follow:— Mr Atkinson, 44 hits, 172 score; Mr Macnamara, 44, 158; Mr Betham 42, 134; Mr Wood 11, 55. Mr Atkinson was declared the winner. THE EDINBURGH MEETING.— On Saturday, Sept 12, 20 com- petitors belonging to the Edinburgh Salisbury Archers, the Edin burgh Toxophilites, and the Glasgow St Mungo Archers met in the Scottish capital, to contend for the prizes at the above annual meeting. The York round was shot amidst much wind and rain; Mr P. Muir, the Champion of the United Kingdom, made, under these circumstances, a score of 321 only; Mr G. More being second best, having scored 303, and made three golds at one end during the 60 yards shooting. There were sweepstake prizes for scores, and private prizes for " extras." The first score, 321, was made by Mr Muir; the second, 303, by Mr G. More; the third, 257, by Mr P. Murdoch; the best at 100 yards, 72, by Mr P. Purves; ditto at 80 yards, 107, Mr A. Porteous ; and ditto at 60 yards, 90, Mr J. Anderson.— Extras: Most golds, six prize arrows, presented by Mr P. Muir, to Mr J. Douglas, 4 golds; best gold, silver medal, by Mr P. Purves, to Mr W.

A handsome silver medal, which was contended for by the Salisbury archers only, was won by Mr G. More with his score of 303. CHESHIRE BOWMEN.— The second meeting held this year by the members of the above society took place at High Legh Hall, Cheshire, on the 10th inst. The ladies shot four dozen arrows at 60 yards and four dozen at 50. and the leading score was made by Mrs E. Lister, who scored 170 ( 36 hits) at the former and 195 ( 43 hits) at the latter distance, making a total score of 305, from which 79 were deducted for blacks and whites, leaving 286 as the prize scores. Miss Leigh was only two behind, having made 284. Among the gentlemen, who 6hot four dozen at 80 yards and the same number at 60 yards, Mr C. E. Eaton made the first score, namely, 88 ( 24 hits) at 80 yards, and 135 ( 35 hits) at 60 yards; total score 223.

Melhuish ( 112). 0 fell dr DRAUGHTS. CHAMPION MATCH IN GLASGOW. The match between Martins and Wyllie was brought to a close on Monday, Sept 14. The total number of gamesplayed was49, all of which were drawn, when the players mutually agreed to declare the match an even one, without playing the iast and 50th game. The games at the outset of this match are admitted to have been original and intricate, arid tested the high proficiency of bothplajers. Towards the middle of the match, however, it became devoid of interest as day after day the same game was played without a variation, and it became apparent that if the This was the race of the day, and considerable betting took » ^ course was pursued the match must inevitably terminate, as ana ^ hu t. n^ oLa { rw Inmai. a ao That. aiuit h^ tfitur t rrt. J I ... - . . place, the Greeks ( or lonians, as they yet are) betting freely upon Bella, whilst the English were quite as hot upon Necro- mancer, notwithstanding the heavy weight put on him. After some difficulties, the lot got away well together save Peep o' Day Boy, between whom and liis rider a diiierence of opinion existed, and they selected the bottom of a ditch to settle it in. Being quite out of sight, one knows nothing of the result. The race lay entirely between the favourites, and Bella won the heat without difficulty. On coming to scale, the rider of Necromancer lodged a protest against Bella, on the grounds of a cross, but as it was not satisfactorily proved the heat was given to Bella. At the end of the second heat, again won by Bella, Lieut Holley again charged Count Andrucelli with having crossed him, and a very long and animated discussion ensued. There was an evident desire on the part of the stewards to deal kindly with the Greek party, which strongly supported the owner and the rider of Bella in their denial of the cross; but at the same time the positive assertion of Lieut Holley, who urged that so close was the cross that he heard his horse strike Bella, that a dead lock threatened. After much persuasion, Dr Vrassopulo consented to run another heat with Necromancer, which was again won by Bella, arid without complaint on the part of Lieut Holly. Three heats with 12st 3lb on him told upon the game little grey. A CONTADINI RACE was to have concluded this day's sport, but the last race and its disputes had made it too late to run in safety, and the Spiros were put off till to- morrow. THURSDAY.— This was a day of equal loveliness with yester- day, a little more wind rattled the flags about the Grand Stand, and made the course less agreeable for all horses but the winning one. The attendance of the fair sex was more numerous; ill naturedly attributed to the excitement of hurdle- racing, probable falls, possible accidents, and consequent assumed interest in the unlucky jock. However 110 such opportunity was afforded. The IONIAN HANDICAP HURDLE RACE, open to all horses; six hurdles; five dollars entrance, with 50 added; one mile and a half. Lieut Goodeve's ( R. A.)

Rob Roy, 12st Owner 0 Necromancer who, spite of shouted orders, was schooled over a couple of hurdles before the start, refused the first fence and fairly bolted, whilst the other horses went sail- ing along, taking their leaps steadily together; but Lieut Holley was not to be discouraged, and bringing his horse back, put him over the hurdle and passed the Grand Stand a good two hundred yards behind the trio. Gradually creeping up he passed Rob Roy and Child of France, and at the end of the mile collared Nettle. The two cleared the last hurdle together, and ran neck and neck up to within a few yards of the winning post; when called on by his jock Necromancer w as landed a winner by a neck, amidst a perfect roar of English, Greek, and Ionian cheers. Rob Roy, it is but fair to add, was a post entry for the fun of the thing. An adjutant's horse in regular work, not being exactly ill racing trim, nor a couple of stone overweighted, calculated to add to his speed. The CASTRADES STAKES ( Hurdle Race) for ponies of 14 hands 2 inches high ; the winner of the Ionian Handicap or Stewards' Plate 71b extra; the winner of both 101b extra; four dollars entrance; with 45 added; heats, half a mile; Necro- mancer was the only entry, and as by the rules three horses had to start or no public money would be added, there was no race. The LADIES' WHIP ( Hurdle Race) for ponies of 1- 3 hands 3 inches high and under; lOst; the winner of any previous race 71b extra ; three dollors entrance, with 45 added; heats, half a mile, over four hurdles.

In the first heat they got off well together to the first hurdle, where all swerved and bolted off the course, except Dervish and Hatpegs, theformer going 011 with the lead to the second hurdle, where he bolted and was not again seen in the race. Hatpegs also refused and was with some diffi- culty got over, not, however, before Shamrock and Skittles, who also baulked the second hurdle, passed him, and went on with a clear lead, which they kept as far as the last hurdle, where they again refused, and Shamrock being forced at it gave his rider a purler. Hatpegs then cameup, cleared the last hurdle, and won easily; Skittles second, Shamrock third. Billy Bowling having also given his rider a spill just saved his distance.— In the second heat Shamrock, who was ridden by Capt Phillipps, on account of Lieut Morland being a little shaken by his fall in the first heat, Skittles and Hatpegs got together to the first hurdle, which the two first refused. Hatpegs refusing the second hurdle was again caught up by Skittles, who in her turn also refused; the former was, however, quickly got over, and after a succession of baulks at the last hurdle came in the winner. The CONSOLATION HANDICAP ( Flat Race), for all beaten horses; 3 dollars entrance, with 25 added; three quarters of a mile. Capt Spaight's ( 9th Rt- gt) Eyeopener, list 51b.

A CONTADINI RACE followed, for which ten horses showed, the conditions being catch weights, half a mile, the horses to carry it has done, in a draw. At one stage Mr Wyllie did propose to Mr Martins that each player should vary his play, and thus run equal risks, but in the absence of Mr Martin s backers 110 agree- ment was come to. The draught players of Scotland are therefore not satisfied that a thorough test of the merits of the players has yet been made, and at the close of the match they submitted terms to Mr Martins, and now challenge him to play Mr Wyllie 62 games, for £ 5 a game, upon a principle involving a variatien each game. The following terms were submitted to Mr Martins:— " In the first 14 games to be played each player will, of course, have the red men in seven games, and shall be bound, as regards the first move with these men, to make every available opening in these seven games. For example, first game 12 to 16, second game 11 to 16, third game 11 to 15, fourth game 10 to 15, fifth game 10 to 14, sixth game 9 to 14, and seventh game 9 to 13. But each player may make these openings in whatever order he pleases, provided that he does not repeat the same epening, and that each player makes all the openings as above. In none of these games shall there be any restriction whatever as to how the white men shall be moved. During the next 18 games the red men shall be under no restriction whatever, except that the first move shall invariably be from 11 to 15, andin these 18 games each player will have the white men in nine games, and shall be bound to open the second side with the white men in every available way, viz :— First game 21 to 17, second game 22 to 17, third game 22 to 18, 15 to 22, 25 to 18; fourth game 22 to 18, 15 to 22, 26 to 17; fifth game 23 to 18, sixth game 23 to 19, seventh game 24 to 19,15 to 24, 27 to 20; eighth game 24 to 19, 15 to 24, 28 to 19; and ninth game 24 to 20. But each player may make these openings in whatever order he pleases, provided ttiat he does not repeat the same opening, and that all the openings with the white men are made as above. Ttie next thirty games shall consist in each player taking once the firs': and once the second side of the fifteen different games published in Anderson's second edition. To carry out this the moves which at the commencement of each game are necessary to form the several games according to Anderson's remarks on the games, to be read out and played as in his work, and after these moves are made each player shall be unrestricted. Each player as he obtains the red men, or plays first, shall name what game in Anderson's work is to be played until all the games are exhausted." Mr Wyllie has requested us to retain for another week the £ 100 deposited for him in the match now drawn, in the hope that Mr Martins will cover it The match must take place within three months, an « 4 Mr Wyllie will give or take reasonable expenses to play in England or Scotland. Communications to Mr George Wallace, 71, Glassford- street, Glasgow, will receive attention. FISHERSGATE REGATTA. This regatta took place on Taesdaj', Sept 15, and was well attended. Fishersgate is well adapted for boating purposes, and being so near to Brighton is always sure to have plenty of spec- tators. The extension of the River Adur eastward of Kingston and the canal running towards Brighton is the course, affording an excellent view of all the races. There was a stiff breeze W. S. W. The officials were as follows :— Judge, Dr Fuller; um- pires, Capt Griggs and Capt Baker; judge's secretary, F. J. Smith; hon sec, R. Smith; treasurer, F. 8. Smith; commodore, Mr J. Corney; clerk of the course, Mr H. Upperton. The course for sailing boats was from the barge three quarters of a mile to the east returning, then the same distance from the barge to the west, and returning to the barge— in aH about three miles. A shorter course was adopted for rowing boats. The sports com- menced at 1: 20and proceeded in the following order:— FIRST MATCH, for sailing boats, not exceeding 15ft; open to South Coast; first prize 15s, second 7s 6d, third 5s. MARY ( Brighton)— F. Paine 1 I LILJT( Kingston)— R. Miller.. 3 DART ( Brighton)- W. Beck 2 | The following also competed :— Emily ( Shoreham), Harman ; I don't Know ( Brighton), W. R. Wood, jun ; Providence ( Fishers- gate), Wyburn; Punch ( Shorehain), Maple ; Hickapick ( Shore- ham), Maple. Lady of the Lake ( Portslade), Smith, broke her bowsprit and could not start. All got oft" well together. Dart leading, Providence and Mary going along nicely, but before taking the first turn it was seen that Mary was well ahead, and having once gained this position she never relin- quished it during the race. The wind being dead on end, there was a deal of tacking required. Passing the barge Mary was first, Dart passing lOmin afterwards, closely waited on by Lily, I don't Know, and Emily. Punch and Providence were by this time quite out of the race. At 2: 14 Mary came in an easy winner, in lOmin more Dart came in second, and 2min afterwards Lily. SECOND MATCH, for four- oared boats, not exceeding 18ft, open to South Coast; first prize £ 1, second 10s, third 5s. WELCOME ( Hastings)— G. Wenmau 1 RANGER ( Kingston)— R. Miller 2 Canary ( Fishersgate), Wyburn, was also entered, but did not Btart. Soon after starting there was a foul, but Welcome, with a splendid crew, went to the fore and kept it, passed the barge six boats' lengths ahead of her rival, and came in beautifully in 16min. Ranger's crew showed good pluck in sticking to their opponents throughout, though from the first it was evident they had no chance; they came in about a minute and a half after Welcome. THIRD MATCH, for two- oared boats with two hands, not exceed- ing 15ft; first prize los, second 7s 6d, third 5s. CLEOPATRA ( Shoreham)— T. Stowe 1 BLACK DRAUGHT ( Shoreham)— W. Maple 2 COMET ( Shoreham)— W. W. English 3 Little Kitten ( Brighton), Calloway, and Dart ( Cliftonville), Ciaggett, also competed. Comet fouled Cleopatra on making the start, but the latter soon recovered. Pissing the barge Little Kitten was first, Comet next, followed by Cleopatra and Black Draught, Dart being all behind. Soon afterwards this order was reversed ; the crew of the Cleopatra pulled out well, took the turn beautifully, and came in first 111 18min, beating Black Draught by lmin. " Comet was third, at about six boats'lengths behind Black Draught; Little Kitten a bad fourth ; and Dart nowhere. FOURTH MATCH, for four- oared galleys, not exceeding 30ft, for a purse of 10 sovs ; open to the South Coast; first prize £ 6, second £ 3, third £ 1. CAVE ADSCM ( Portslade)— Smith Brothers 1 BROTHERS ( Hastings)— Hutchinson 2 ST LEONARDS ( Hastings)— H. Roberts 3 Lisette ( Brighton), Kairey. and Rocket ( Brighton), Fairey, also com- peted. Lord Warden ( Hastings), Wenman, was entered, but did not start. Lisette who had considerable difficulty in getting off, was no- where in the race, and soon gave up. The others passed the barge in the following order:— Cave Adsum three lengths ahead, Brothers, St Leonards, Rocket. The race was a good one; the Brothers pulled well, and endeavoured to wrest victory from the Cave Adsum. Coming up, it was neck and neck till the barge was almost reached, when the Brothers succumbed, and the Cave Adsum won in 20min by three boats' lengths. St Leonards was a bad third, and Rocket a still worse fourth. FIFTH MATCH, for sailing boats not exceeding 21ft, open to South Coast; first prfce £ 1 10s, second 15s, third 10s. TYNE ( Brighton)— Marsh 1 FLORENCE ( Shereham)— W. H. Deane 2 PEGTOP ( Shoreham)— Spenser 3 Lurline ( Brighton), W. R. Wood, jun, Star of the East ( Shoreham), English, and Phantom ( Brighton), Smith, also started. All got well off together, and Phantom took the lead, but could not keep it, for on passing the barge Tyne was first, considerably in advance of Star of the East, which came next, followed at a con- siderable interval by Florence, Phantom, Lurline, and Pegtop, Soon after this Star of the East got aground, and the time lost in getting her off lost her her position, which she never regained. Tyne now kept ahead and came in first in 56min, Florence being 3min behind her, Pegtop 6min after this, Lurline a bad fourth, and the others nowhere. SIXTH MATCH, for four- oared galleys, not exceeding 30ft, to be rowed by amateurs, for a Silver Cup presented by ladies, value £ 5 5s; open to South Coast; second prize £ 2, third £ 1. BROTHERS ( Hastings)— Hutchinson 1 ST LEONARDS ( Hastings)— 11. Roberts 2 ROCKET ( Brighton)— J. Fairey 3 Cave Adsum ( Portslade), Smith; and Shoreham ( Shoreham), Stowe, also competed. Lisette ( Brighton), Fairey; and Lord Warden ( Hastings), Wenman, were entered, but did not go. The five got well off together, Rocket getting a parti- cularly good start. Passing the barge, Brothers, first, was six boats' lengths ahead of St Leonards, which in return was considerably ahead of both Rocket and Cave Adsum, between whom there was a struggle going on for pri- ority. Shoreham was nowhere, and retired. The order we have mentioned wa3 observed till the end, Brothers winning in 22min, St Leonards being second, Rocket third, and Cave Adsum fourth, all four being about equidistant, six boats' lengths from each other. SEVENTH MATCH, for a Silver Tankard presented by a gentle- man, to be rowed for in outrigger wager boats by gentlemen amateurs, sculls. PET OF THE WANDLE ( W. London Rowing Club)— G. D. Lister 1 NULLI SECCNDUS ( King's College Rowing Club)— J. F. Smith 0 PRINCE OF WALES ( N. London Kowiug Club)— W. Thackeray 0 There was considerable delay in getting this match off, the competitors objecting 10 the course, as it involved two turns, and their craft being, from their extreme length, ill adapted for turning. At length the difficulty was obviated by shortening the course; the competitors paddled out to the west, and from thence it was arranged they should start, proceed past the barge to the east end of the course, turn, and come back to the barge to win. The race was well contested, though there was no actual change throughout. EIGHTH MATCH, for four- oared galleys, not exceeding 22ft; open to the South Coast; first prize £ l 10s, second 15s, third 7s 6d. TEASER ( Pcrtslade)— Smith Brothers 1 LITTLE ANNIE ( Shoreham)— J. Fairey 2 TOM SAYERS ( Hastings)— S. Wenman 3 The boats got well away together, Tom Sayers getting the start. On passing Teaser was first, some distance ahead of Little Annie and Tom Sayers, between whom there was a sharp struggle. And now the race got very exciting; the last two named, while strug- gling with each other for the mastery, were rapidly gaining on Teaser, but he managed to keep his place, rounded the final buoy first, and came in a length ahead in twelve minutes. The race was a sharp one for second place, Little Annie only securing it by half a length. It was the best contested race of the day. NINTH MATCH, for boats with pair of sculls, not exceeding 18ft; open to South Coast; first, prize £ 1 10s, second 15s, third 7s 6d. ELECTRIC ( Brighton)— W. II. Mason 1 WHIM ( Brighton)— J. Grevatt 2 AMADA ( Brighton)— W. Heather 3 Gazelle ( Brighton), Fairey also competed. The race was watched with considerable interest owing to the fact that W. H. Mason, the champion of the South Coast, who used to carry everything before him, but who this season has been singu- larly unfortunate, had to contend with a formidable rival, Grevatt, on whom fortune has lately been shining. Coming up to the barge Mason was discovered to be a long way ahead, and was loudly cheered on passing. Grevatt pulled beautifully, but could never overtake his opponent, and Mason ultimately came in half a minute before him. Heather had scarcely passed the barge a first time when the race was over. TENTH MATCH, for ships' jolly boats, with two oars and sitter, hailing from port of Shoreham only ; first prize 15s, second 10s, third 5s. SCS3EX ( Shoreham)— Capt Howell 1 ROBINA ( Shorthain)— Capt Holland 2 LORD DACRE ( Shoreham)— Capt Stevens 3 This was the concluding match. Eight others entered, but did not go. It was well contested, and won easily by Sussex. This brought the sports to a close at 6: 20. KENT AND SURREY FANCY RABBIT SOCIETY. The half- yearly meeting of the members of this club was held on Monday. Sept 14, at Mr T. Garniss's, the Rosemary Branch Assembly Rooms, Peckham. It was the eighth session of the society, which is progressing very favourably. Mr Newsome in the chair, faced by Mr Cullingford. The show ef prize rabbits was exceedingly good. It would be invidious to specify any pre- ference as to the animals exhibited for competition; but as a whole they may be taken as possessed of something far beyond mediocre merit. The judges were Messrs Lock, Cook, and Terry ; super- numerary judges, Messrs Hurran and Brett, and the club seems to be in a very prosperous condition. We append a list of the prizes :— LENGTH OF EAR. AGE. LENGTH, WIDTH. M. D. 1. Mr Cook's grey and white buck .... 21 Jin 4iin 4 0 of 2.

The mortality from small- " pox is now greatly reduced ; the deaths from it in the last three weeks having been 31, 29, and 28 respectively. The deaths from diarrhcea, which reached 233 in the third week of July, have fallen to 93, as shown in the present return. Scarlatina is at the present time the most formidable of the epidemic diseases; it was fatal in 124 cases in the week, while measles was returned in only seven cases. The births were 938 boys and 985 girls— total 1,923. AUSTRALIA.— Intelligence has been received from Victoria to July 25, and from Sydney to July 21, but there is no news of any importance, THE LATE REGATTA AT KEW. At a meeting of the Corsair Rowing Club held on Monday even- ing, Sept 7, the chairman ( Mr H. Moore), after the disposal of some minor matters, called the attention of the meeting to the unpleasant remarks stated to have been made by the Secretary of the Kew and Brentford Regatta in reference to the conductof some member or members of this club, and as this statement has been made public, the meeting unanimouslj' resolved to publish the correspondence that has taken place on the subject. The secre- tary then read the letter sent by him on behalf of the club, of which the following is a copy :— " Sept 2, 1863. " DEAR SIR : On behalf of the Corsair Rowing Club I have to request you will kindly give an explanation for the ex- traordinary statement which, we hear from Mr Tyler, of the West London Rowing Club, was made by you, respect- ing a member of our club, in reference to the postponement of the races at the Kew Regatta on the 15th ult You are reported t ® have said that ' one of the Corsair Rowing Club came to you and requested you to start their crew over the course, and that they would claim the prizes and take the consequences.' This statement is so utterly erroneous and opposite to the course known to have been taken by our members in assisting to post- pone the regatta, that I can only conclude there must be a mis- understanding as to what you said. I am well informed that none of our members, excepting three of our crew that had intended to row, were on board the barge on that day. I am therefore com- pletely at a loss to know how such a report could possibly have been made, and sincerely hope you will be able to satisfy all con- cerned that the statement is a total mistake, and so terminate this unpleasant affair, without necessitating me to call for the evidence of several gentlemen of the other clubs then present. I shall take it as a great favour that you kindly answer this by first post, as our club prizes too much the present friendly feeling existing be- tween the rowing clubs on the Thames to allow any stupid or careless error to endanger it.— Waiting yours, I am, dear sir, & c,& c, " JOHN ELLINGER, Hon Sec. " R. W. Pittard, Esq, Hon Sec Kew, Brentford, and Isleworth Regatta." In reply to the above the secretary intimated that he had re- ceived a note from Mr Pittard requesting him to attend a meeting of the* committee of the Kew, Brentford, and Isleworth Regatta; but as this report concerned only Mr Pittard, the members present, who expressed themselves very warmly upon the subject, con- sidered the proper course was to wait his explanation, and that the secretary was right in not having attended that meeting. MR EDITOR: As the report published by you of the outrigged gig race in the above regatta is in many respects inaccurate, and calculated to give an unfavourable impression of the Twickenham crew, I must beg you to insert the following correct account. On Saturday, the 15th ultimo, we ( the Twickenham crew) did not arrive at our station till after the appointed time, and the other crews were started without us, though we wei; e within twenty er thirty yards of the starting- post. We, however, rowed down to our station, and turning, went after the others, who, owing to the excessively rough water, were not able to make much way. As the water on our side of the river was comparatively smooth, we soon passed them, and had succeeded in placing ourselves nearly a quarter of a mile ahead when the West London boat was swamped. We rowed over the course, not suspecting that any serious accident had occurred, as we saw several boats near the spot, and the water was too rough to permit us to see from the dis- tance we were off what really was taking place. Being the only crew that reached the winning post we claimed the race, but afterwards withdrew this claim, as we thought that the North London crew might possibly have stopped to render assistance in the sad acci- dent we found had occurred. We did this of course with the in- tention of rowing them, again on the 29th, to which day the re- gatta had been postponed. In the ensuing week we received a notification from the secretary of the regatta to the effect that we were disqualified from rowing in the race. Ho reason was as- signed for this, to us, extraordinary decree; ultimately, however, we were allowed to start under protest, being accorded this per- mission an hour before the race on the 29th, so that whilst the other erewe ( one of which, the West London, had been entered for the race since the 15th) had been practising, we, believing we were not to be permitted to start, had not entered our boat since the previous race, a fortnight before. As might have been ex- pected we were beaten, and though it is not now worth while dis- puting the fairness of the decision which gave the prizes to the West London crew, we cannot but feel ourselves aggrieved at the treatment we have received throughout the affair. Before concluding I must call your attention to the last few lines of your report of the race, viz:—" It is but fair to the West London to say that they would not have started, but from certain un- pleasant 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." These are peculiar reasons for starting in a race. The first is purely invention, as at no time, to my knowledge, were we within speaking distance of the West London on the 15th. We certainly had no communication with them at all. As regards the second, I wonder before they advanced it they did not see that it applies infinitely more to them than to us.— Yours. & c, ONE OF THE TWICKENHAM CREW. Twickenham, Sept 10. [ While inserting this letter we see no reason to doubt the ac- curacy of the account contained in our last. It would seem also that the North London Rowing Club have taken umbrage at a portion of our report of the first day's proceedings at Kew Re- gatta, where we say with reference to the pair- oared gig race, " after rowing about a quarter of a mile they fouled, the North Londoners coming dead across the other bows.'' These words, they seem to think, convey an impression that they helped to cause the death of Mr Embleton; but there can be no doubt that they fouled accidentally, and in no way contributed to the la- mentable accident, and their own boat being so full of water it was impossible for them to render any assistance.] PRICHARD'S ANNUAL REGATTA. This regatta took place for the second year on Monday, Sept 14, for valuable and numerous prizes, presented by Mr Prichard, the host of the Two Sawyers, Palace- road, Lambeth. The awards of merit were— for thefirst boat two handsome timepieces, value £ 5 8s; for the second two silver cruet stands, for the third two large silver cups, and for the fourth two small ditto. The regatta was under the management of Messrs E. Ayling and H. H, Blincko, G. Campbell being umpire. No less than eighteen pairs en- tered, and the regatta was a very good one, the races being carried out with a strict regard to punctuality and fairness. W hat fouling occurred was purely unintentional, and the meeting bids fair to be a very celebrated one.— First heat: Short and Turner 1, Perry and Finlayson 0, Ayckbourne and Taylor 0, Stratford and Wallington 0, Freshwater and Friswell 0. The course was from Westminster to Vauxhall, down to Westminster, up and finish opposite Ren- shaw's boathouse, Lambeth. Ail got off together, and they so rowed for 300 yards, when Perry and Finlayson shot ahead, but were soon overhauled by Short and Turner, who, going into first place, won as they liked; the third, fourth, and fifth boats to- gether some distance astern.— Second heat: W. Styles and G. Turner 1, Spencer and Vickers 0, Brown and Maborn 0, Parker and Griffiths 0, Fast and Anthony 0. Spencer and Vickers took the lead, and after some distance had been rowed Styles and Turner came up from the rear, passed the others, and, after a short struggle, went in front, and continued there to the finish, win- ning by four lengths.— Third heat: Hirst and Brooks 1, Lowe and Blincko 0, Boden and Pearsall 0, Kemp and Donovan 0. Boden and Pearsall took a strong lead, and held it for half the distance, when Lowe and Blincko came up, and while they were contending with Buden for first place, Hirst and Brooks put on a spurt and went to the front, where they continued to the finish. The race was won by six lengths, the third and fourth boats close together, ten lengths astern of No. 2.— Fourth heat: Kilsby and Pitt 1, Fenton and Gooden 0, Hayes and J. Styles 0, Maynard and Carter 0. All got off together, and Maynard and Carter, rowing fast and well, soon took the lead, which they held for two hundred yards, when Pitt and Kilsby and Fenton and Gooden rowing level, went ahead, leaving them third. A foul occurred near Lambeth Bridge between Kilsby and Pitt and Fenton and Gooden, which enabled Maynard and Carter to go ahead again. Their lead, however, was only maintained to tfae Penitentiary, where Kilsby and Pitt passed them, and finally came in easy win- ners by six lengths. The other three boats were very close together.— Final heat: Kilsby and Pitt 1, Styles and Turner 2, Short and Turner 3, Hirst and Brooks 4. The course was re- versed owing to the tide, and upon the signal all got off to- gether, but soon after the last pair showed in front. They were soon deprived of their lead by Short and Turner, and they in their turn by Styles and Turner; the latter pair led at West- minster, but owing to some fouling, Kilsby and Pitt rounded first, and went fihy yards ahead while the other boats were clearing each other. They were never caught, and won by six lengths, Short and Turner two lengths behind the second pair, and leading Hirst and Brooks by two lengths. CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE TYNE. By order of the committee of the Tyne Regatta, the race in dis- pute, viz, the Tjne Champion Cup, which has given so much dis- satisfaction to the promoters of the regatta, came off on Saturday, Sept 11, on the Tyne. Cooper, who was the first to reach the goal at the first trial, but was nevertheless considered disqualified by the committee in consequence of the fouling, refused to row over again, alleging that he uad won the race, and therefore claimed the cup and stakes. The race was now, therefore, left to be dis- puted by Chambers and Kelley only, who met together at about a quarter to three beneath the Tyne Bridge in readiness for the start The day was very fine, but the wind, which blew rather too strongly for the patience of Father Tyne, ruffled his breast, and the water was very lumpy indeed. This, added to Chambers's long experience on his native river rather gave him the advantage, as the turbulent state of the tide became more perceptible; yet Kelley, it may be said with credit to him, seemed as appa- rently at home as if his life had been spent on it. The attendance of spectators was considerable, every possible spot which was available for a view being crammed, whilst a number of steamers with heavy freights steamed up the Tyne, followed by a cloud of smaller craft. About a quarter past two Kelley, accom- panied by R. A. W. Green, the Australian Champion, made his ap- pearance, and pulled leisurely down to the starting point, where they were shortly afterwards joined by Chambers. The appear- ance of both men was such as to give every satisfaction to their friends, and redounded greatly to the credit of their trainers. Each of the men received a round of applause as he was recog- nised, and the pluck of Kelley was much enlarged upon, whilst the absence of Cooper received much comment, not at ail in his favour. Chambers having won the toss for sides, took up his posi- tion on the north shore of the river. His opponent placed his skiff so close to him as to receive a warning to keep further off or a foul might be the consequence. The start was most beautifully effected, ttie two skiffs moving off at the same moment. Cham- bers's strokes were unsteady and irregular at starting, but Kelley, whose coolness was remarkable, managed his sculls with such steadiness that his boat soon appeared, slightly in front of the Champion's, and after going about 150 yards he had obtained a lead of nearly a boat s length. Kelley, how- ever, seems to have calculated his distance untruly, for at this point he pulled over with the intent of taking Cham- bers's water, and approached the Champion's skiff so near that Chambers, to avoid a foul, was compelled to ease his skiff and hug the shore rather uncomfortably, at the same time fouling Kelley's boat, but no blame could possibly be at- tached to him. The men again went to work, Chambers rowing close to the shore, and Kelley endeavouring to get a clear lead ot him. The Champion's skiff, however, was fairly crippled in its position, and under no other circumstances could he get clear but by allowing his opponent to head him. Kelley, how- ever, would not allow this, and kept his opponent wedged into the shore, in danger of fouling several boats and rafts of timber lying near the shore. In this way the race continued past the Grindstone Quay, when Chambers got more room, and by a few strokes placed himself nearly 011 a level with Kelley, when most provokmgly the skiff of the Thames man was again brought round, and the race was brought to a standstill for a time. On passing the Northern Rowing Club the pair came in a direct line upon two keels, and notwithstanding the warnings shouted from the crowd 011 shore, the skiff' of the Champion came in contact with one of them, and Kelley only saved a foul by a vigorous stroke of his left hand. When Chambers had relieved his skiff from the keel he steered towards the south side, but in doing so he fouled Kelley with his scull, and both men were compelled to stop row- ing. Chambers had to lift his left scull over Kelley' 6 head before he could get into play again, and this was only done by pressing it against Kelley's back. The race was now without any attrac- tion, for Chambers, once free, dashed away with his powerful stroke, leaving Kelley far behind, who pulled leisurely after the champion and reached the winuing boat about 150 yards in the rear of Chambers,; who received quite an ovation on landing at the Meadows," and was taken on board his steamboat by his friends. Kelley went on board the committee boat and claimed a foul, but as Chambers was not on board a meeting could not be held then ; but shortly afterwards a meeting was con- vened in the cabin, Mr Pringle in the chair, Kelley and Cham bers both being present. The statements of the two men having been laid before the umpire and members, the opinion of the former ( Mr Bagnall) was given in favour of Chambers, whilst most of the members of the committee were of the same mind, and a reso- lution was moved that the cup and stakes be awarded to Cham- bers, and an amendment that the race be pulled over again ; this was lost, and Chambers, therefore, becomes entitled to the cup. Cooper has served a writ upon Messrs Bagnall, Pringle, and Pickett, to recover the cup. WESTMINSTER WATERMEN'S AND LIGHTERMEN'S APPREN- TICES' REGATTA.— This regatta was started on Tuesday last for a coat and badge, and various money prizes, and for a beginning was a complete success. Ably managed by Mr Wm. Martin, the wager bids fair to be one of some importance, this being the only apprentices' regatta between London and Richmond. First heat: W. Dolwin 1, F. Blyde2, C. Smith 0, C. ParkerO. The course was from the Houses of Parliament, up round Battersea Park railway bridge, down round Lambeth Bridge, and finish at Liley's, the Ship, Millbank. It was a capital start, and all the lads rowed very well together for fifty yards, when Dolwin, in the celebrated Antigallican, began to draw out, and at Lambeth Bridge was just drawing clear of Blyde, who pressed him much. As they neared Vauxhall Blyde put on a spurt and came within a length of Dolwin, Smith coming up at the same time, and a rattling race ensued right to the railway bridge, where Dolwin rounded two lengths ahead, Smith a length behind Blyde. Parker's boat was now fast tilling, and about titty yards from the bridge went down. The other two did their best to catch Dolwin to Pimlico piar, where the latter increased his lead to six lengths, and then a fine race ensued for second place, Smith's bow atone time going up to his opponent's rowlocks, but his efforts were unavailing, and Dol- win finally came in a winner by a dozen lengths, Smith a length astern of Blyde.— Second heat: G. Clifton 1, J. S. Snell 2, G Russell 0, T. A. Silk 0. ( Course same as in the first heat.) It. was a very good start, Russtll taking the lead, with Snell and Clifton close on his quarter. Bilk soon after the start began to lag, and never had a chance. Near Lambeth Bridge Clifton went in front, closely followed by Snell. A fine race ensued all the way home, Clifton winning by two lengths, Russell the same dis- tance astern of Snell.— Final heat: W. Dolwin 1, F. Blyde 2, E. Clifton 3, J. S. Snell 4. The course was from the William the Fourth, Thames Bank, down round Lambeth Bridge, up round Battersea Park Railway Bridge, down round and finish through Lambeth Bridge. All took the water as it were at the same mo- ment, and they rowed very well together to Pimlico Pier, Dolwin slightly leading, when the latter shot ahead, closely followed by Blyde, who made a better race with him than in the first heat. At Vauxhall Bridge Dolwin led by five or six lengths, Clifton was over Blyde's stern, and Snell well up. This order was con- tinued to the finish, Dolwin increasing his lead materially, and winning by eight lengths, Clifton a length astern of Blyde, and Snell close upon his ( Clifton's) stern. The winning boat was built by Salter. EXCELSIOR BOAT CLUB.— On Saturday, Sept 12, a sculling race was rowed by members of this club, the course being from Millwall Pier to Blackwall Pier. The prize was presented by Mr J. Whatley, on the condition that three started. There were five entries, but only two came to the starting post, and Mr What- ley, under the circumstances, kindly consented to waive his con- dition about three staiting, and allowed the race to be rowed by two, viz, Mr E. B. Ellington ( pink) and Mr O. Britten ( blue). A capital start was made, and the boats kept well together until opposite Greeenwich Hospital, when Pink began to draw well* ahead, and won by over seven lengths. A committee meeting was afterwards held at the club house, Crown and Scvptre Hotel, Greenwich, when, amongst other business, it was agreed that the watermen's race for money prizes presented by the club should be rowed on Monday, October 5, by twelve free watermen of Greenwich, in their ordinary working skiffs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. AN INDUSTRIOUS BURGLAR.— At Bow- street, on Monday, a tolerably well- dressed but singular- looking young man, named John Blackburn, said to have been a gentleman's servant, was charged before Mr Corrie with having committed burglaries at four separate houses in Bedford- place, Bedford- square.— Ann Betton, servant at No. 15, in the occupation of Mr G. fludden, stated that she fastened up the house and retired to bed at about eleven o'clock on Sunday night. At about three o'clock in tha morning she was disturbed in her sleep by hearing the handle ot her door tried. She then looked through a window in her room, and she distinctly saw the prisoner looking about the kitchen with a candle in his hand. She was so dreadfully frightened that she crept back to bed, and lay there till five o'clock, when she called from her room to a man in the street, who went for a policeman. When the policeman arrived she admitted him into the house, but the prisoner was gone. She missed a bacon ham, a teapot, and some plate from the pantry.— Police- constable Bur- gess, 83 E, said it was a quarter to five when the last witness ad- mitted him to the house. He examined the interior, and then went outside, when he saw the prisoner getting over the back garden wall. Witness followed him up to the roof of No 5, when the prisoner concealed himself, having run along the tops of the houses. He was eventually captured, and witness brought him down to No. 14, and searched him. By this time he was assisted by another officer, Harding, 36 E. The prisoner said, " you have got me, so don't illuse me." They found upon the. roofs of the houses, and in the butler's pantry of one of them, a number of silver spoons, the ham and teapot, two tablecloths, and a number of other articles which had been stolen from Nos. M, 15, and 17, Bedford- place.— Mary Ann Toole, servant at No. 17, deposed that she missed a quantity of plate on getting up in tlie morning, but had not heard the house entered during the night; and Mr Evan Oliver, merchant, of 14, Bedford- place, identified a cigar- case and tube and a purse which had been taken from Ms drawing- room. One of the keys found on prisoner opened this room.— Inspector Griffiths said he had been to the houses Nos. 14, 15,16, and 17, and found marks on the balcony, from which the drawing- room of each house could have been entered. The windows were not fastened.— The prisoner, who made no defence, was commitied on three charges, and remanded on the fourth. . THE RAT'S DENTIST.— An ill- looking fellow, named Joba Hicks, a cooper, was on Tuesday summoned to the Thames Ccurt for threatening the life of one Anthony Praviski. The parties were employed at a steam cooperage in Hungerford- street, Com- mercial- road East, and from the statement of the complainant, delivered in broken English, the defendant undertook to extn. ot the teeth of a large rat with his own teeth, and succeeded in doing so, but at the expense of his tongue, which was severely bitten by the rat.— Mr Woolrych : The biter was bitten \ The complainant said that was so. The defendant's tongue was in a very bad state, and so frightfully swollen that his mouth could hardly contain itC — Mr Woolrych : His mouth could not hold his tongue. Did ha extract the rat's teeth ? The complainant replied all of them, and that the defendant, whose life was in jeopardy from the isifa of the rat, was laid up for some time, and a collection was uiaJa for him in the factory.— Mr Woolrych : For his undeserved suf- ferings [ a laugh].— The complainant: Yes, sir; yes, sir. His tongue, mine worship, was larger than his mouth [ laughter].—. Mr Woolrych: And no sympathy was exhibited for the rati The complainant replied none whatever, and proceeded to stuta that when the proprietor of the factory heard of the collection fca stopped it, and said the act of the defendant in extracting the rat's teeth was a piece of great cruelty.— Mr Woolrych : I quite agree with him.— The complainant, in continuation, said that the de- fendant accused him of stopping the collection, and abused him in a very gross manner. Hicks also said he would take his lifa away.— Mr Woolrych: How did he propose to do it; by drawing your teeth ? Are you afraid of him ?— The complainant said he was not afraid of the defendant, but he might do him a secret injury by throwing butts, casks, and staves upon him.— Charles Pra- viski, a boy, the son of the complainant, confirmed the statement of his father.— The defendant, a man about 30 years of age, said he did extract the rat's teeth with his own, and his tongue was bitten while doing so. He had paid £ 5 to Dr Godfrey, a physi- cian in the Whitechapel- road, for putting his tongue to rights, and the complainant taunted him with it. He told the complainant he had nothing to do with the matter, and that if he was an Eng- lishman he would fight him, but as he was a poor Pole he would have nothing to do with him.— Mr Woolrych was afraid the >? a* fendant was of the same disposition as his antagonist the rat. Ha was not surprised that the complainant expected harm from a man who had encountered an animal with such an insatiable appetite as a rat, whose bite was keen and difficult to heal, which the defendant had found out to his cost. He ordered the defen- dant to enter into his own recognisance in the sum of £ 20 to keep the peace and be of good behaviour for the next six months, and to pay the costs of the summons. " WAITING FOR THE OMNIBUS.''— WELCHERS AND STEEES BETTING — At Guildhall, on Wednesday, Charles Manners, < IE » scribed in the police- sheet as a commission agent, residing at 462, Old Kent- road, was charged before Mr Alderman Besley with using abusive and obscene language in a public thoroughfare.— George Chambers, acting inspector of the Fleet- street station, said the defendant was brought in on Tuesday evening, shortly before six o'clock, charged with obstructing the thoroughfare in Fleet- street. The constable told me that there were a number of other persons with the defendant, but he refused to move on, and he therefore took him into custody. I asked defendant if he would promise not to obstruct the footway again, but he said he would not make any such promise. I afterwards discharged him, with the caution that if he were brought there again I would send him before the magistrate. As he was leaving the station he began to abuse me, and called me an opprobrious epithet, upon which I ordered the constable to bring him back, and 1 locked him up for using obscene language.— Mr Lewis: Did you not say that the evidence of obstruction was not sufficient, as the defendant was waiting for an omnibus, and had a right to do so ?— Chambers: Certainly not, for he told me he wag in the habit of making bets for gentlemen, and visiting that part of Fleet- street, opposite the Sunday Times office, three or four times a day for that purpose.— Police- constable Andrews, 323, said there were a great many persons assembled on the pave- ment in front of the Sunday Times office on Wednesday after- noon, and the obstruction was so great that respectable people had to walk in the road to get past. I requested the defendant to remove to allow the people to pass, but he said he was waiting for an omnibus, and he should stand there as long as he liked. I told him he must move on, and he said with an oath he would not. I went a little way up the street, and on my return I told defendant I should be obliged to take him to the station, in reply to which he said I might take him to the if I liked, but he would be if he moved. I took him into custody, and after he was dis- charged he said he would go to the pavement as often as he liked in spite of all the City police, and called the acting inspector a foul name.— Mr J. Anderton, a solicitor, of New Bridge- street, and member of the Court of Common Council, gave similar evi- dence of the nuisance in question, and said that whenever he wished to go to Temple Bar he was obliged^ to go the back way, through Whitefriars. " It was a public nuisance, and a great obstruc- tion to the traffic.— Mr Kirk, a tobacconist, and Mr Granville, a tailor and draper, and one of the churchwardens of the parish, bore testimony to the intolerable nuisance, day after day, of crowds of betting people assembled not only in front of the Sunday Times office, but also of their own shops, to the ob- struct on of the thoroughfare and their business.— Mr Lewis said the only question he had to deal with was the abusive language. He admitted that the epithet in question was made use of, but the defendant applied it to his brother, and not to the acting in- spector, whom he designated as a " bumptious policeman" [ laughter]. He submitted that the provocation he had re- ceived from the policeman and the " bumptious inspector5" [ laughter] had irritated him into using the language ha had done to his brother, who was the cause of his los.' ng one omnibus and having to wait for another, whereby ha he got into his present difficulty, and that the inconvenience ha had already suffered would be a sufficient punishment.— George Manners, the defendant's brother, was tnen called to support this view of the case, and swore that he was not a returned convict, and that he had never been in custody for any offence.— Hann, a detective, said the witness was one of a class known as '' Welchers," who take money for bets, but never pay when they lose.— Alder- man Besley said he was of opinion that the defendant was ob- structing the footway as described, that he had resisted the police, and made use of the abusive* and obscene language imputed to him, and he therefore fined him 40s. At the same time he re- commended the police not to travel out of the record when giving evidence, but confine themselves to that only which they were in a position te prove.— Defendant said he would pay the money, but he wanted to know if he was to pay 40s every time he was waiting for an omnibus.— Alderman Besley said certainly, if he were brought before him, and the evidence was equally clear on the point.— Defendant said in that case he would take a cab, and not wait for the omnibus [ laughter]. THE HARVEST.— The Archbishop of Canterbury has recom- mended all the clergy throughout his diocess to set apart some day for a general thanksgiving for the bountiful harvest, and sug- gests that each bishop or archdeacon should suggest to the clergy under his supervision some object iox which a collection should be made on the occasion, SHOCKING DEATH OF A CLERGYMAN IN HULL.— An inquest was held on Friday, Sept 11, at the County Hotel, Francis- stitet, on the body of the Rev John Farrand, who was found dead in Ms bed on the previous day. Mrs Farrand, on being examined, said her husband was a clergyman of the Church of England, and forty- six years of age. He was of very intemperate habits, and had not been sober for three days together during the last three months. On Wednesday, the day before his death, he was tipsy, and went to bed about a quarter to eight o'clock in the evening. She did not sleep with him, but went into his bed- room about lialf- past ten o'clock, and then saw that he was all right. On going again the next morning about six o'clock sfce found him dead.— Mr E. S. Roberts, surgeon, was next called, and he said that he was called in to see the deceased at seven o'clock on Thursday morning, but life had departed. He had since made a post- mortem examination, and had no doubt that the deceased died from apoplexy brought on by excessive drinking.— The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony. FATAL ACCIDENT TO AN OFFICER OF THE CHANNEL FLEET,, — A melancholy accident happened at Belfast on Friday, Sept 11. Among the officers who partook of the mayor's hospitality was Lieut G. Clarence Gardiner. After the dejeuner, along with his fellow- officers, he took the train to Carrickfergus, from which place boats were to be in waiting to convey them to the squadroa. Lieut Gardiner took liis seat in a first- class compartment, & nd during the progress ef the train towards the junction he lighted his cigar and got upon the top of the carriage to smoke— agairst the remonstrance of his companions. He continued in this posi- tion until the train got past the Carrickfergus Junction. On the stoppage of the train he was missed, and fears were expressed that he had fallen off the carriage among the wheels. On return- ing along the line the alarm proved unhappily only too well founded. The lifeless body of the young officer was found be- tween the rails, the skull frightfully battered in, both legs in- jured, and the left arm dreadfully lacerated by a wheel having passed over it. It is believed that be fell between two of the car- riages when the train was in motion, and that his death must have been immediate. Drs Cunningham and Patrick were both in immediate attendance, but their services were unhappily unavail- ing, for life was extinct when the body was found. THE HEDINGHAM WITCHCRAFT CASE.— An inquest has just been held at Hedingham on the body of a poor old Frenchman who went by the name of Dummy, who met his death in conse- quence of a ducking he had been subjected to by a Mrs Smith, aided by two men, one of whom was named Stammers, because Mrs Smith believed the feeble old man had bewitched her, and because he would not accept £- 3 from her, and go to her house and annul the charm. They pushed him two or three times into a brook, and when he escaped to his hut he slept all night in his wet and slimy clothes. He died in consequence, notwithstanding subsequent careful tending at the workhouse. The jury, afte* nearly two hours' warm discussion, were dismissed, not being able to agree. The entire case will soon come before the Heding- ham bench of magistrates. It was understood that all were una- nimous for a verdict of manslaughter against Mrs Smith, but two jurymen would not consent to a similar verdict against Stammers. SERIOUS POACHING AFFRAY.— Early on Thursday morning. Sept 10, a desperate encounter occurred between gamekeepers and poachers upon Lord Feversham's estate at Helmsley, 18 miles north of Malton. Two keepers were out between Helmsley and Kirby, and while seated beneath a tree they heard voices, arid soon saw three men with two dogs. The men walked up to the keepers and addressed them— the spokesman having a south country accent. One of the poachers suggested they should " go into ' em," meaning to fight the keepers, and forthwith a conflict began, both sides fighting with sticks. One of the keepers, named Samuel Mussel white, was knocked down at once, but he got up and ran towards a hedge, where he was again most fearfully thrashed, till quite insensible. The other keeper, William Powe, fought the two other men, one of whom he recognised as an inhar bitant of Rawton, a village near, known by the name of Harpen This man would have been taken, but his companion belaboured Bowe so greatly about the head that he was rendered helpless. He was then held down and further abused. Harper, however hit his companion a fearful blow in mistake, and Bowe seized the opportunity to get away to Beadlam Grange. Mr Phillips at oneQ had the injured men sent home. The latest accounts report Bow © more favourable than might be looked for, but Musselwhite ib not expected to recover, The poachers have not yet been ts& ea, SUPPLEMENT TO BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, SEPTEMBER 20, 1863. 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.— On Monday a goodly number of spectators mustered at the above grounds, to witness the two matches set down to come off, one at a quarter past three o'clock, when J. Clewley of the New Invention and C. Baugh of Dudley Port made their appearance on the ground to run 120 yards, for £ 5 a side. Both men are new to these grounds. Clewley has run in one or two handicaps. Baugh may be said to be a novice, never having run a public match. Both are well i& ade, active men, and were brought to the scratch in good trim, Clewley being attended by G. Mole of Walsall ( the Midland Stag), under whom he had trained, and Baugh under Keates of Bloxwich. Mr Flem- ing of the King of Bells, Walsall, acted as referee. The betting ruled at 6 to 4 on Clewley ( at which price a good deal of money was laid out in the localities the men hail from, on the morning of the race, and also on the grounds). After a few attempts the men got away with an even start, but at two score yards Clewley had got the lead, held the same, and went in a winner by three yards. H. GURLEY or BIRMINGHAM AND RICHARDS ( THE WELSH- MAN) OF LONDON.— Soon after the above race the public were again admitted to witness this one mile match, ior £ 20 a side. Kichards gave Gurley a start of 15 yards. It will be recollected by our readers that itiese men ran together in a two mile match, at these grounds, on Aug 10, when Richards gave Gurley a start of 50 yards, and with this advantage he went in a winner by six yards.' Richards then attributed his defeat to the want of condi- tion, and not feeling satisfied at the result, he made the present match. Both men had actively trained for the event, Richards under Hateley ( the Champion Walker) of London, and he looked in first- rate condition. Gurley, who was attended by Whiteley, also looked in good trim. The betting was very limited. What was done was at 6 to 4 on Richards. Mr Coates of Birming- ham did the needful as referetj, and Mr Badcock starter. All preliminaries having been adjusted, the men got to their marks. At the signal they bounded away at a good pace, Richards getting full three yards the best of the stare, and was close up to Gurley before he had gone three parts of a lap ( six laps round and 58 yards for the mile round the new ground). He, however, spurted forward, closely followed by Richards up to the fourth lap, when Richards got the lead, but only kept the same till close home for the fifth lap, when Gurley wrested it from him, and keeping the same, two yards in advance, till close to the straight run home in the last lap, when Richards pulled himself together and passed Gurley, who, seeing his chance was out, gave in when about 30 yards from the winning post. Time, 4min 40sec. YOUNG HODSON OF BIRMINGHAM AND LOVETT OF MINE- WORTH.— These men have made the money, £ 5 a side, good for their six score yards match to Mr Coates, the final stakeholder. The men toe the scratch at. the above grounds on Monday, Sept 21, at three o'clock. To start by mutual consent in 15 minutes. Mr Cater is selected as referee, B. GAKEINGTON A SB H. BROWN.— These well- known BU> mingham men have also made their money, £ 10 a side, good vet Mr Coates, the stakeholder, who acts as referee in their 100 yards match, which comes oft at the above grounds on Monday, Sept 21. The men to be at scratch at four o'clock. A well- contested spin is anticipated. PRINCE OF WALES GROUNDS, HOLLOWAY HEAD, BIRMING- HAM.— There was a fair attendance at these grounds on Monday, Sept 14, to witness a quarter of a mile match, for £ 5 a side, be- tween J. Bregy ( Frenchman) of Spoon Lane and J. Bennett of Oldbury. Both men appeared in good trim, Mr Littler ( the pro- prietor of the grounds) doing the needful as referee. At half- past live the men got to the mark, and betting was done at 6 to 4 on Bregy.

All off together, a splendid race, Parkin and Clifden running a dead heat, Waden a few inches behind.

THE MATCH FOR THE CHAMPION WRESTLING BELT.— This • event, which had been looked forward to during the last few weeks by many admirers of the pastime with an interest which does not invariably characterise contests of this description, was to have been brought to an issue here on Saturday, Sept 19. The men, who would then engage in wrestling two out of three back falls, in the Lancashire style, for the champion's elegant equip- ment, which had been previously won by other athletes, were W. Bchora of Ashton and J. Meadowcrofc of Radcliffe, the latter, at the time we write, being the holder of the prize. They would also, at the same time, compete for £ 25 a side, which sum was in the hands of Mr Hayes, the proprietor of these grounds ; neither man to exceed six score six pounds weight, and the other condi- tions appertaining to the belt were to have been strictly abided by. We understand that both men had been well prepared, aud no doubt a large number of persons would assemble to witness the - struggle in which Meadowcroft was again to " do battle," in defend- ing his right to the possession of the trophy he had so long held. The athletes were to have been in the ring at three o'clock, and Mr Hayes would discharge the duties of referee. NEWTON AND HEYWOOD.— The wrestling match for £ 20 a side, at catch weights, between J.

SATURDAY, SEPT 12.— BEDDOW AND WILLCOCK.— The number of pedestrian events in which G. Beddow, formerly of London but now of Manchester, and W. Willcock, of the last- named city, have occasionally engaged have pained for them a full share of local notoriety. A short time ago they again signed articles to run 300 yards, for £ 25 a side, fixing this afternoon for the contest, but although the weather was favourable, only about 300 persons visited the above place to watch the issue of the race. Mr G. Hardy, of the Rising Sun, Swan- street, Manchester, filled the offices of stakeholder and referee. The betting opened in favour of Beddow, upon whom 7 to 4 was at one time offered, but subsequently Willcock's chance of success was deemed the more formidable, and at start 2 to 1 was laid on him. After a delay of about ten minutes the pedestrians quitted the mark on pretty even terms, Beddow holding the inside place. When 60 yards of the ground had been gone over the favourite was just in front, and he gained a slight additional advantage in rounding the bend of the course. In the straight a good struggle took place, Will- cock getting within three quarters of a yard of his antagonist when about 120 yards from home, but he subsequently fell a little more into the rear, and Beddow, keeping on the steam, won the match cleverly by a couple of yards, without having been headed. MANOCK AND MILLS.— T. Manock and E. Mills ( respectively of Rochdale) were to have run 120 yards, for £ 25 a side, at these grounds on Sept 19, at four o'clock.

VICTORIA RACE GROUNDS, LEEDS, AND NEIGH- BOURHOOD. SATURDAY, SEPT 12>— POPPLEWELL AND 8TOKE8.— There was only a slender attendance at these grounds to- day to witness the 100 yards race, for £ 10 a side, between fr>, Popplewell of Castleford and B. Stokes of Lofthouse. Betting Was in favour of Popplewell, 5 to 1 being freely offered upon him, with few re sponses. The investments made at those odds proved to have been made with good judgment, for Stokes did not appear to have the shadow of a chanoe in the race, which was won in a very easy manner by Popplewell. THOMPSON AND HARTLEY.— Mr tlarrett has received articles and 50s a side for W. Thompson of Gawthorpe and J.

SURREY v FOURTEEN OF HANTS. On Saturday, Sept 12, play was resumed shortly after twelve o'clock, Messrs G. M. Ede and Eccles occupying their former posi- tions, to the bowling of Caffyn and Griffith ( slows). The weather was fine, and the play anything but lively. Mr Ede contributed two more, while Mr Eccles assisted in raising the total to 50; the latter wicket ( the ninth) fell at 54. Messrs Stewart and Holmes were then companions. The betting at this period of the game was 3 to 1 on Surrey. The two bats, however, made a stand, and caused a change in the bowling, Sewell being put on at Griffith's end. Caffyn was well on the spot. Holmes's leg- hitting and drives were remarkable for their brilliancy. They increased the total to 76, when Mr Stewart had to succumb to Caffyn; his figures were a three ( drive from Caffyn), two twos, and singles. The remainder did not stop long with Holmes, who brought out his bat for a well played innings of 22, composed of a three ( drive), three twos, and singles. The innings closed at a quarter to two o'clock for 96. Betting: 3 to 1 on Surrey, which odds were thought rather extravagant, considering the deadness of the ground and the extra field. After dinner Surrey was re- presented at the wickets by Mr Miller and Mortlock; off Mr Maturin's third over Mr Miller was caught from a popper in the slip. Mortlock had made a splendid square leg- hit for three, which made the total 5, for one wicket. Stephenson followed, and the fast left- handed bowler, Tubb, was put on at the slow's end, and managed to scatter H. H.' s Btumps; two wickets for 16 runs. Jupp then came, and wa< well caught at long- on, which made way for Caffyn; three wickets for 17 runs. The ground was now so exceedingly difficult that it became doubtful as to whether the runs could be got off. Mortlock and Caffyn brought back the slow bowler, Mr Eccles, at Tubb'send; and Mr Frere was put on at the lower end, in the room of Mr Maturin. At 48 runs on Tubb was again substituted for the slows, and then Caffyn was beautifully caught at cover- point, with one hand, by Mr Fredericks, he only just managing to reach it. Caffyn played a difficult innings of 10, made by two threes, a two, & c. Four wickets had now been disposed of for 52 runs. Time, half- past four o'clock, or one hour and a quarter to play to get 47 runs. It was here Mortlock's lot to go, being bowled clean, but not until he had exhibited a masterly display of the game. His innings comprised three threes ( leg, cut, and drive), two twos, and singles. We need scarcely add that Mortlock was loudly cheered as he left the wicket. This ( the fifth) wicket fell for 57 runs, Griffith and Humphrey caused the telegraph to announce 70, and three quarters of an hour remained to get 29, the required number of runs. Griffith was then caught mid- off, which made six down for that number Cfesar followed, and the game became exceedingly exciting. At this period Maturin was put on for Frere, off whose first ball Humphrey cut for three amidst cheers. Eccles now came on at Tubb's end, and runs were scored quickly from him, the telegraph showing 90, or 9 to win. Tubbs was again tried when there were but 7 to get, and Frere was again put on at Maturin's end, but they could not part them, although mid- wicket had a chance. Thus this exciting and inte- resting contest was brought to a conclusion, only four minutes before the time of drawing stumps, in favour of Surrey by four wickets. Some ltttle dispute arose as to the score being kept correctly on the part of Surrey, and, if any mistake did occur, we can only say that it was a wonder the score was kept at all, seeing that the scorers were continually surrounded and inter- rupted.

SATURDAY, SEPT 12.— PIGEON SHOOTING.— This afternoon J. Jackson of Barkisland and T. Buckley of Rishworth ( both in the county of York) arrived here for the purpose of firing at 15 birds each, for £ 25 a side, with lfoz of shot, 21 yards rise, and 60 boundary. There was but a small number of spectators present, and, as the subjoined score will show, the sport was very inferior. Buckley was the favourite at start, 5 to 4 being offered on him, but he only killed hisfirst, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, ninth, tenth, and fourteenth birds. The shooting of Jackson was precisely on a par in point of number, be having brought down his 1st, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 12th, 13th, and 14th. They, therefore, having killed only eight each, the match ended in a draw. PEDESTRIANISM.— The race of 130 yards, for £ 10 a side, between J. Wilkinson and T. Ogden ( both of Oldham) was to have been decided on Sept 19, at these grounds, Mr J. Chad wick having been appointed referee.

To commence at three o'clock. MATCH AGAINST TIME.— An occurrence took place on Friday, the 11th inst, which has excited considerable interest among military and sporting circles. Lieutenant Thomas, of the 2d Battalion of the 32d Foot, stationed at Fulwood garrison, who has on previous occasions performed some feats of endurance in pedes- trianism, lately alleged, in presence of some of his brother officers during mess, that he could walk, fully accoutred as a private soldier, and armed with rifle and bayonet, 60 miles within 20 hours. Bets were freely offered, which Lieutenant Thomas as freely accepted, and £ 300 to £ 100 was staked in various sums against him. The 60 miles to be gone over were fixed to be on the turnpike- road between Preston and Lancaster. He commenced his task at a quarter past three o'clock on Friday morning, the starting point being the first milestone from Preston, opposite a promenade known as the Ladies' Walk. He was fully accoutred in the full marching condition of a private soldier, with rifle, knapsack, kit, bayonet, and 20 rounds of ammunition, the whole weighing about 561b. He was acompanied by two referees, Captain Beale, of the 10th Regiment, and Lieutenant Duncombe, of the 41st, Lieutenant Garforth, of the 32d Infantry, being umpire. The gallant pedestrian started off in hearty spirits, and arrived at Garstang, 10 miles on his route, at six o'clock. Here he partook of a cup of tea, and then pushed on for Lan- caster, making the good old town at' 9: 30. He immediately turned his face again for Garstang, where he arrived precisely at half- past twelve. He again returned to Lancaster, arriving at six p. m. He recruited himself at the King's Arms there for 15 mi- nutes, and then commenced the concluding portion of his task— his return to Preston, where he arrived, or at least he arrived at the winning post outside the town, at 10: 50, having accomplished his extraordinary feat in 25 minutes less than the stipulated time, viz, in 19 hours 35 minutes. For the last few miles he ex- hibited manifest signs of exhaustion, but gamely kept on, and won, as we have said, with 25 minutes to spare. SWIMMING— On Monday evening, Sept 14, about 400 lovers of the art of natation assembled at the Middleton Baths, Man- chester, to witness a contest which was expected to prove more than ordinarily interesting, and upon the result much speculation took place. A few weeks ago, Mr W. Wsodbridge, professor of swimming at the Victoria Park Baths, London, undertook, for £ 25 aside, to produce a rival to beat P. Johnson, of Manchester, who has gained a fair local fame for his achievements in the water. Prior to articles being drawn up, it was agreed that Messrs Beckwith, Donovan, Mather, and Gardner should be barred, and that the distance should be 50 lengths of the Middleton Baths, or about 1,000 yards. Mr E. B„ Mather was the selected referee, and Mr G. Hardy, of the Rising Sun, Swan- street, Manchester, was appointed stakeholder, at whose well- known sporting hostelry much cariosity was manifested as to who Mr Woodbridge's un- known might be. The " dark one'' at length came to light, in the person of the youthful H. Gurr, of London, who, though only about 17 years of age, has achieved at least one highly creditable victory in the Thames ; but on the 22d of last month, at Belle- view, Manchester, he was twice defeated, gaining the fourth prize in one race ( won by Johnson), and the third in another. To the initiated, however, this did not in the least seem to detract from Gurr's well- known buoyant abilities, 6 to 4 being freely laid on him, and a very considerable sum pendedthe issue of the contest. Mr Poulton ( professor of swimming) was the umpire for John- son, and Mr Hardy ( the stakeholder) filled that office on the part of Gurr, Mr E. B. Mather acting as referee. The preliminaries having been duly arranged, the word " off"' was given to an ex- cellent start. As it is needless to describe the race in detail, we may state that during the greater portion of the distance the, com- petitors proceeded along in tolerably close proximity, Gurr's chance of success appearing very formidable from an early period of the contest. Towards the conclusion of the journey Gurr shot out, and defeated Johnson - easily by nearly two lengths. The winner deserves credit for his performance, as well as Mr Wood- bridge for his enterprise. A - SA& ACIOUS GAMEKEEPER'S DOG.— On Wednesday, at the Wakefield Court House, Joseph Bullock and James Armitage were charged with night poaching on land at Rothwell, in the occupation of Mr Richard Sykes, and belonging to Mr Calverley. It seemed that at half- past one o'clock in the morning Isaac Jel- lings, a watcher in the employ of Mr Calverley, and other assist- ants, were out. In a field occupied by Mr Sykes they saw four men, who had nets spread, and, with the assistance of a dog, were ranging after game. They went to them, and a struggle com- menced. One man, named James Ellis, was apprehended, and left in the custody of James Booth, while the fight was continued to secure the rest. The result of the struggle, however, was that the men escaped, and Jellings placed a dog he had with him upon the track of the two prisoners, and he followed after. He came up to his dog while it was standing on the brink of a pond, and saidtoit, " Where is he?" The dog immediately sprang into the water, but he could not think that any one was there, and toek no steps. The dog came out of thepond, and he repeated the question, whereupon it ran along a hedge side until it came to a place where Bullock was concealed, who was apprehended and secured. Jel- lings and his dog then returned to the side of the pond, and Jellings repeated the question, " Where is he?" The dog again jumped into the water, and this timehe followed it, and in going through the water he trod upon Armitage, who was up to the neck in the pond, his head being concealed under a tree root. He seized him and pulled him out of ths water, and he also was secured. Bullock, a known poacher, was sent to prison for two months, and Armitage was committed for six months to prison, each of them to find surety to keep the peace for twelve months after his release from gaol. FOUR COLLIERY SINKERS KILLED.— On Saturday, Sept 12, a party of sinkers employed by Mr W. Coulson, Durham( the gentle- man who so distinguished himself in connection with the Hartley catastrophe), were engaged in sinking a new shaft at Black Boy Colliery, when an accident occurred which resulted in the instan- tane ® KS death of four of the workmen. The operations were directed by Mr W. Coulson, jun, who, along with five sinkers, was suspended in a cradle, and busily engaged in putting in an iron " cribbing" or lining to the side of the shaft, to prevent the earth, & c, from giving way, when from some cause or other the cradle overbalanced and partially capsised, and four out of the six were precipitated to a depth of 150 fathoms. Mr Coulson and the other man with difficulty saved themselves. The unfortunate men who fell from the cradle were most shockingly mutilated.

FREE FORESTERS v ELEVEN OF MANCHESTER ( SELECTED BY THE WESTERN CLUB). This match was played at theWesternGround on Sept lOand 11, Tinder most favourable conditions as to weather and wickets. Mr Mitchell carried off the lion's share of glory, missing the desired century of runs by two only ; Mr Ratliff's 53 were very well ob- tained, but an unlucky ball from his pads put an end to Mr Lyt- telton's career earlier than either friends or foes had anticipated. RatKfFs well- fielded slows, Mitchell's steady overs, and Lyon's leg- stump shooters made short work of the Manchester wickets ; and, after following their inning?, but 20 runs were left for the F. F. to rub off', which they did with the loss of two wickets. It need hardly be added that the F. F. were much pleased with their visit to the Western Club, and highly admired thecricketing of Messrs Gladstone and Rowley. Score : FREE FORESTERS. T. Ratllff, c Gladstone, B J. Whit- , R, H.

QUIDNUNCS v HUNTINGDON, This match was played at Hinchinbrook on the 11th and 12th of August, but the reason, we believe, that the score has not been sent to Bell's Life before was, that Mr A. L Smith had charge of it, and it has only just now been obtained from that gentleman with great difficulty, owing to his extreme sensibility about being praised in print for his magnificent innings of 115. Such modesty is truly charming 1 The Quids won the game easily, as, in ad- dition to the fine batting exhibited by them, their bowling was always well on the spot. Mr Fowler played remarkably well for Huntingdon, and two Quids also assisted the same side materially, undeterred by the derisive shouts of " renegade'' from their opposing brethren.

England commenced the batting with Grace and Tarrant; the former scored but 7 ; Tarrant's innings of 64 was very fine. Rowbotham also scored well. Mr Leese was given out leg before wicket after he had scored a good 17. Willsher and Tinley were the other double figures. The total amounted to 154 runs. The Twenty- two's first innings reached 86 runs, only two ducks. Jackson's and Willsher's bowling was very good, and most of the players could handle the willow. England's second innings was 90 runs, E. M. Grace scoring 26, Tarrant 10, Hayward 16, G. Anderson 16, Clarke 8, and Jackson ( not out) 9. L. Green- wood's bowling was very straight. The Yorkshiremen had 159 runs to make to win, but reached only 75 of them, Tarrant and Willsher bowling. Messrs Clifford, Greenwood, and Crossland made double figures, the Eleven winning with 83 runs to spare. ALL ENGLAND. 1st inn 2d inn E. M. Grace, c Cole, b Greenwood .... 7 c Churton, b Berry 2fi G.

On Thursday, August 13, Mr Furmstone brought over an eleven from Denstone to contend with the Oakamoor Club; but, after a short and decisive strugglfe, the older cricketers were declared the victors. A second match was played at Oakamoor on Saturday, August 29, when the weather was remarkably favourable. Mr Furmstone had very materially strengthened his team, and it was expected that an example would be made of the Oakamoor Eleven, who were weaker by one good player than they had been in the previous match. However, they won by 66 rnns; the same majority, minus an innings, by which they were then victorious, OAKAMOOR. C. Richardson, b Shipley 6 C. Edmond, b Barnes 22 C. J.

The success of the other side may be mainly attributed to the bowiirig of Abbott; and the batting and fielding of Mait- land, Carpmael, and Harrison increased the score materially. WIMBLEDON. C. H.

In the flr5t game, played on July 24, eleven on each side contended, whilst in the match now recorded the numbers were increased to thirteen. The first match was unfinished, owing to a thunder storm, Coollattin having to obtain 57 runs in their second innings to win the match; James Breen and the Phippses getting good scores for Coollattin, and Jameson, Thorburn, Watson, and others doing the like for Carlow. I11 the second match Coollattin had an easy victory, though opposed by some active young cricketers, aided by the generalship of the veteran leaders, Rochfort and Alcock. Earl Fitzwilliam keeps this ground up for the benefit of the cricketers of the neighbourhood, and we expect to see many promising players there, under the teaching of the Hon Frederick Ponsonby, and of Gilby from Harrow.

Owing to the heaviness of the ground runs were hard to obtain; another drawback on the part of Summer Town was their being short of a couple of hands. Oxford were winners with seven wickets to go down. Score— Summer Town: F. Horn ob- tained 10 and 2, H. Hincks 0 and 5, T. Merry 5 and 0, Horn ( not out) 13 and 0, N. Pratt 7 and 0, W.

VICTORIA COLLEGE V ADELAIDE HOUSE SCHOOL.— This match was played on Saturday, Aug 22, on the Victoria College Ground, St Clement's. The performances of Robinson with willow and leather, as well as a large number of extras, pulled the College through victorious. Ratcliff, M'Kechnie, and Shortreed on the School side alone made any stand against Robinson's slows. Winter, Clcete, and Hartung batted fairly for the College. Score: Victoria College 49 and 101, Adelaide House 25 and 51.— The re- turn match was played on Saturday, Aug 29. As in the preceding match Robinson's slows were very effective. Kennedy bowled well for the School. Winter on the side of the College and Ken- nedy on that of the School batted well for their respective scores. On the whole the bowling was better than the batting. Score: Victoria College 67 and 48, Adelaide House 39 and 27. ELEVEN YOUTHS OF MANCHESTER V HARROW COLLEGIATE SCHOOL.— This match was played at Harrow House, Beckington, Hampshire, on Monday, Aug 17, asd was won by Manchester by 127 runs and an innings. The result is chiefly owing to the fine cricketing of Messrs Mitchell, Plaistow, and M. Barker, who played with even greater brilliance than usual. The Scholars had the services of two of their masters ( Messrs Rhodes and Kellett), and their playiug was very good, but they were evidently over- matched. Score : Manchester 200, Harrow 56 and 17. LANCING COLLEGE.— PAST V PRESENT.— This match was played at Lancing on Sept 5 and 7, but the first day it poured hard; notwithstanding, the Past made ( for Lancing ground) a large score; Lancing Past fielding and bowling very mild A better day on Monday saw the Present in a minority of 90; the Present call it a drawn match; our readers will judge for them- selves. Score: Past 201, Present 107 and 141.

RAMBLERS V WIMBLEDON.— Mr Editor: I must beg to call your attention to the account in your paper of Aug 30 of a match played by Wimbledon against the Eton Ramblers, and to com- plain through your columns of such an account being sent up for insertion by the losing side, containing false accusations tending to the discredit of the Ramblers. The tactics complained of are mere fabrication; the case was merely this, the Ramblers had headed their opponents on the first innings, and refused to go on after the time agreed for drawing the stumps. Not a moment of time was wasted, the Ramblers were out in the field within five mi- nutes after the conclusion of their innings, and gave their opponents every chance of getting 109 in 70 miuutes ; and as they failed to do this they try to revenge themselves by committing their ima- ginary grievance to the columns of your paper.— Yours, & c, A RAMBLER, Hirschfeld. 1.
