[ GRATIS.] SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1863. [ GRATIS.] ARCHERY. THE ARCHERY CAMPAIGN OF 1863, Few, if any, prize meetings of provincial clubs remain to be held, and th « season may, therefore, be said to have terminated. In no former campaign have the archers of the three kingdoms been sustained by more encouraging circumstances. Everything has indicated an increased and increasing love of the pursuit, in the additional number of shooters, ladies as well as gentlemen, the capital scores made over and over again, the formation of new clufcs, and the success of the public meeting* without a single ex ception To the latter there was, verv unexpectedly, an addendum in the Alexandra Park meeting in July, which, as an impromptu. affair, has led to an important fixture foe next year, when the ' Grand National meeting will be held oa the new company's pic- turesque estate adjoining the Wood Green station of the Great 7 - hern Railway. This is an arrangement which will prove iflgSiy acceptable'to the Scottish archers, very few cf whom have hitherto been able to attend any othesr great meeting than their own in Edinburgh; and it will also receive warm encou- ragement from t- oxophilites generally, some of whom have long entertained the idea that the " National" should for once et least, be held in or near the metropolis. It is not im- probable that some effort will be made to obtain the patronage, if not the presence, of royalty; but, be that as it may. there cannot be a doubt that the general business arrangements of the meeting • will be of a more satisfactory character than those in July last at Oxford, where there was a very singular instance of municipal repudiation. The weather— of which we must speak whether or no— was never more favourable for archery than during the past summer, as far as the public matchesareconcerned. The National at Oxford, the Crystal Palace fete, and the Irish National at Bray were, it is true, interfered with by winds stronger than breezes, and accompanied with rain, but, in all other respects, bad shooters had no opportunity of finding fault with the weather for their more than average scores in the green. The best score of the sea- son wfcs made by Mr G. Edwards ( Aston Park Archers) at Bray, where he registered 921. and would, undoubtedly, have gained a much higher total but for the unfertunate circumstance of breaking a bow the first morning, which fully ac- counted for the poverty of bis score that day, although from his excellent shooting the following day, it did not pre- vent his taking the premiership for the year. His score on that occasion entitled Mr Edwards to the medal of the Irish championship, as some recompense for that of the English championship, of which he was ousted at Oxford by Mr Peter Muir, of the Edinburgh Toxophilites, with the score next in value during the year— namely, 845. This veteran archer had not stood in the front rank since 1847, when he won the championship at York, in the earliest days of the National, with a score of 631, which would not have carried oft even the fifth honour at the last National at Oxford— a proof that our archers are acquiring greater skill and dexterity in the use of their bow and the unerring flight of their arrows. Mr R. W. Atkinson ( County Dublin Club) is entitled to rank third with his score of 829, at the Irish National, at which in 1861 he won the Champion- ship of the sister isle by a score of 927— the shooting being then restricted to 80 and 60 yards. The fourth greatest score was Mr Ford's, at Weymouth, at the Grand Western Meeting, when his total of 826 was subjected to the deductions peculiar to that and the Leamington meeting. His loss, under this process, of 183 for blacks and whites, gave him but fifth place on the prize list. Mr Ford also made the best scores at the Crystal Palace and Leamington, namely, 813 and 791. Mr Edwards had one of 806 at the Alexandra Park, carrying off the first prize, a handsome silver cup ; and the next score to that was Mr Ford's ( 7H1), at Sydenham. The other scores entitling to honours dui in if the season may be thus tabulated : — Mr Ford, Orfor l 780 Col Clowes, Alexandra Park.. 661 Mr Macnamara, Leamington.. 777 Mr Walters, Oxford 659 MrCoulson, Wevmouth 771 Mr Boulton, Alexandra Park.. 657 Mr Xtimlngton. AlexanJraPark 755 Mr Coulson, Crystal Palace.... 656 Capt Bethum, I. eamtngton.... 745 Col Clowes, Leamington 654 Capt Betham, Weymouth .... 735 Mr Macnamara, Crystal Palace 653 Mr Coulson, Alexandra Park.. 714 Mr Macnamara, Bray 638 MrCoulson, Leamington 713 Mr Walters, Bray 638 Mr Walters, Alexandra Park.. 713 Mr Edwards. Crystal Palace .. 637 MrRimington, Weymouth.... 690 Col Clowes, Weymouth 627 Mr COulson, Oxford 682 Mr P. Townsena, Oxford 618 Mr Coulson, Bray 675 Mr Tawney. Crystal Palace .. 610 Mr F. Townsend, CrystalPaluce 675 Mr Hare, Weymouth 5S4 Mr Edwards, Oxford 669 Mr Ford has again been shooting in something like his old style ; and since the year 1860, when he lost and Mr G. Edwards won the championship at Bath, his finest scores in previous years have not only been unapproached by the most successful toxophi- lite feats of others, highly creditable as those feats undoubtedly are, but he managed this year to take the leading rank in three out of the four public meetings at which he shot, and at the fourth was second only to the champion, Mr Muir, at Oxford. Mr Edwards, who at Bray made the second- best score he has ever achieved in public— his highest ( 962) being at Leamington, in 1859— is also, as will be seen from the above list, keeping up his good name and fame in the archery world. It is a remarkable fact not only that Mr Coulson, of the Clifton Archers, has taken prizes at every public meeting of 1863, but that, with the excep- tion of Weymouth, where he obtained the first, simply because Mr Ford's score was subject to deductions, he has ranked third in the list of honours on every occasion. Of the ladies sotre great achievements have to be recorded. Mrs Homiblow, of Leamington, bids fair to hold the silver bracer of the championess for years to come; she has made five scores this summer that will not soon be paralleled, namely, 601 at Sydenham, 706 at Leamington, 478 at Oxford, 639 at Alexandra Park, and 691 at Bray. The lady who stands next in merit is Miss Betham, of the County Dublin Society, who succeeded in obtaining the second score of the season, 607, at Bray, and thereby giving promise of being " named among the famousest of women." Three other ladies only— Mrs Horniblow, Miss Turner ( South Devon Archers), and Miss H. Chetwynd ( Lichfield Archers)— have excelled Miss Betham in her score at the Irish National. Speaking of Miss H. Chetwynd, whose past triumphs are not forgotten, it is to be noted that she was once again within a trifle of resuming the championship, being only 10 below Mrs Horniblow's winriinsr score at Oxford. The silver quiver of the championess of the West was gained, on points, at Weymouth, by Miss Sophia Daw « en, one of the most promising shots of the day, • with a score of 495; and Mr Hare, on the same occasion, re- tained the claret jug as champion of the five western counties. The other priz • scares of the season were as follows :— Miss Waller, Leamington 528 Miss Ward, Uray 519 Mrs Hare, Alexandra Park 505 Mrs C. II. Everett, Oxford.... 420 Mrs Walters. Crystal Palace .. 415 Mrs Hare, Weymouth 415 Miss F. Croker, Crystal Palace 414 Miss Dixon, Leamington 411 Miss Popham, Alexandra Park 410 Miss L. Turner, Oxford 404 Mrs Glazbrook, Weymouth 336 Mrs Smyth, Alexandra Park.. 299 Miss H. Chetwynd Alex. Park 542 MissJ. B. EdwanK Leamington 534 Miss L. Turner, Weymouth .. 531 Mrs Atkinson, Brav 477 Miss II. Chetwvnd, Oxford.... 468 Mrs Blaker, Crystal Palace.... 4*! 3 MrsBlaker, Alexandra Park.. 4t, 0 Miss J. B. Edward?, Oxford .. 450 Sirs Litchfield, Crystal Palace 448 MissKenda!!, Leamington.... 445 Mrs Lambert, Weymouth .... 435 Mrs Litchfield, Oxford 427 Miss Eastwood, Weymouth..,. 422 The principal of these scores, the lowest of which exceeds by upwards of 1U0 the highest for the first National prize in 1845, show that archery not only " holds its way steadily as a means of bringing the county families together" during the year, but that great improvement is taking place in accuracy of aim, and that the " time and skill devoted to the use of the bow by the first archers of the day for many years" have been productive of the most honourable results. The only other noteworthy incidents of the season was an attempt to establish in Ireland an addendum meeting to the now open Irish National, under the name of the Grand Leinster. The inaugural fete was held at Atley, but beyond the facts that Mrs Horniblow was there, and gained the third prize only, that Miss Betham was rewarded with the highest honours ( including the Xeinster Challenge Clasp), and that the Viceroy ( the Earl of Car- lisle's) prize was awarded, by score, to Mr Macnamara, there is nothing to record of a meeting which was so badly managed in its business details that 50 per cent had to be deducted from the published value of the prizes offered for competition, and " open to the United Kingdom.'' Generally speaking, archery is on the increase in the sifter country, where, since the National Meeting at Dublin, in 1861, several new clubs have been formed, and the principal society— the county Dublin Archers— has increased its muster roll of subscribers from a dozen to one hundred; and among them some of the best shots of the day, namely, Mr Atkinson, Mr Macnamara, Mr Capt, and Miss Betham, and Mrs Atkinson. Scotland has its fitting and respected representative in Mr Peter Muir, who won the Champion Medal of Caledonia ( in addition to that of the United Kingdom at Oxford) on the 21st of July in Edinburgh. TEIGNMOUTH ARCHERY CLUB. The members of this newly- formed club held a prize meeting on their gronBd at Bitton on Friday, Sept 18. As the society only dates its existence from June last the arrangements in refer- ence to a suitable shooting ground were necessarily incomplete, and the York round could not be attempted. The ranges were 72 arrows at 60 yards for gentlemen, and 48 at 60 and 24 at 50 for ladies. There was nothing remarkable for excellence about the shooting, if we except that of Miss Turner, an ex- championess of England, who scored 334 at the two distances. The other scores • were:— Miss L. Turner 263, Mrs Smyth 192, Miss Farrant 187, Mrs Lambert 18- 3, MissB. Spencer 148, Mrs Young 142, Miss Walsh 141, Miss E. Rickards 120, Miss B. Clark 96, Mrs Templer 91, Miss Barber 80, Miss Hawkes 67, Miss Kelson 58, Miss Hellier 48, Miss Young 31, Miss Gwynne 21, and Miss Marshall 19. Among the gentlemen the following scores were made:— Colonel Smyth 226, Mr Trysden 192, Mr Cary 168. Mr Melhuish 146, Mr Knowles 117, and Mr 8. H. Williams 76. Miss Marshall and Mr Williams did not shoot their complement of arrows. At the dansante at the Assembly Eooms the following prizes were declared:— Ladies' ( members) first prize, a fan, Miss Blanche Spencer, 148 score ( 36 hits, 2 golds); second ditto, a casket, Mrs Young, 142 score ( 46 hits, 1 gold) ; third ditto, a pearl and turquoise ring, Miss Barbara Clark, 96 score ( 22 hits, 2 golds); fourth ditto, a silver card tray, Mrs Templer, best gold; and fifth ditto, a card case, presented by a lady for the greatest number of reds, Miss Barber, 3 reds ( 80 score, 24 hits, 1 gold).— Ladies' ( visitors), first, Miss Turner, a silver flower stand, 344 score ( 69 hits, 9 golds); second, a gilt glass butter boat, Miss L. Turner, 26- 3 score ( 56 hits, 4 golds); and third, a majolica ware jug, Mrs Smyth, best gold. There were two prizes for gentlemen; the first, an ormolu inkstand, was won by Col Smyth, who scored 226 ( 50 hits, 4 golds) ; and the second ( a sweepstakes) by Mr Trysden, 192 score ( 42 hits, 3 golds). CHATHAM AND ROCHESTER FANCY RABBIT SHOW. The summer show of this flourishing society was opened on Monday, Sept 21, at Mr S. Burford's, Gibraltar Inn, New- road> Chatham. The rabbits for exhibition were much superior, both in quality and properties, to those hitherto shown on any other occasion. The show room was well attended with visitors and members from other clubs, from London, Woolwich, Canterbury, Graveserid, and Maidstone, and other parts of the county. Several rabbits were sold at a high figure during the afternoon. There is no doubt that the committee having come to the conclusion of giving pieces of silver plate instead of money prizes for length of ears has increased the friendly rivalry among the members, for on this occasion there were several rabbits the ears of which were over 21 inches ; the longest exhibited was 22^. The judges were Messrs Ayerst. Whittingham, and Follett; supernumerary judges, Messrs Mundin and King. The prizes will be found below. In the evening, after the awards had been made,' the rabbits were ex- hibited, and their merits dwelt on by the worthy chairman, Mr T. Ayerst. and the list of successful competitors was also read over. Mr J. H. Gilbert acted as vice- chairman. The large room in which the rabbits were placed on the tables for public view was crowded with a respectable company. The following is the list of prizes :— LENGTH OF EAR. AGE. LENGTH. WIDTH. WEIGHT. M. D. 1. Mr T. Ayerst's sooty fawn buck .. .. 22jln.. .. 5in .... 81b 5oz.... 6 1 2. Mr Bath's fawn doe 2! Jin.... 5in .... 71b 0oz.... 5 29 S. Mr J. H. Gilbert's sooty fawn buck.. 2lfin....

Mr Lowdell's sooty fawn doe 8 Jib Ooz.,., 6 27 There were several unsuccessful rabbits produced, and very fine they were, but were not eligible for prizes. The fourth prize, for the best black and white, was not taken, although Mr Ayerst sent one, and also a very pretty rabbit, all black. The seventh prize, for blue and white, was not taken, there not being one ef that co- lour; and the eighth prize,^ for best grey and white, was not taken, • which was considered extraordinary, considering the number of rabbits sent in. There was a group of fine rabbits produced, and their united length of ear measured 108j inches, their average age being about five months. There was also a pair of tortoiseshell does, exhibited by Mr King ; they were truly handsome. The show being concluded, the health of the judges, sub judges, the secretary, Mr M. Poynard, were drunk, also the chairman and vice- chair. During the evening there was some good singing. AQUATICS. THE PAST AQUATIC SEASON IN THE EASTERN COUNTIES In accordance with custsm we j t down a few notions with re- spect to the past aquatic season in the north- eastern counties, with more especial reference to East Anglia proper. First, with respect to the doingg of the Royal Harwich Yacht Club, which we must pronounce Sie leading yachting organisation of this tolerably ex- tensive district. Although the club had the misfortune to have a squally ( Ssagreeable day for its annual meeting, its opening cruise took pls. ee during delightful weather, and the programme at the annual regatta was carried out with unflagging « pirit. This club has secured the valuable patronage not only of it* Commodore, Lord Rendlesham, but of Mr J. Goodson, chairman of the Great Eastern Railway Company, and also a member of the Royal Thames and Royal London Clubs. The regatta of the club was henoured with the presence of trie Lord Mayor and one or two ether metropolitan celebrities, while on the preceding evening j there were 37 yachts in the really noble harbour of Harwich, which has at last received the attention of Parliament, and will probably recover during the next few years something of its f ' rmer celebrity. This club contrives to secure the presence of seve- ral yachtsmen from the Solent at its annual meeting, and vhe acces- sion to the office of Vice- Commodore of Mr J. Morice, of the Marina, is of course a great advantage. The Harwich regatta was suc- ceeded, naturally enough, by a day's excellent sport on the Orwell, when the yacht prize was carried off by a yacht from southern waters, although there had been a little quiet bet- ting on a local vessel. The Harwich Club also patronised the Walton- on- the- Naze meeting a fortnight later, but this scarcelv realised expectations. Taking all these matters to- gether," it must be admitted that yachting on this part of the Essex and Suffolk coast line has received an impetus this year ; and as yacht building is also carried on with vigour at Wiven- hoe and Brightlingsea, points which are being brought within the magic railway circle— indeed, the former is already linked to the Great Eastern— it may be anticipated that > till greater results will follow, as the locality is within easy distar. ee of London. Not so with Lowestoft, however, which has failed in 1S63 to or- ganise a regatta of any description, good, bad, or indifferent. Great Yarmouth keeps on the even tenor of its way, but cannot be said to make much progress. One year's meeting is just like another here, and the committee take every pains to make the meeting a strictly local affair. In former times, perhaps, this might have been very well, but now that railways have practically annihilated time and space we would hint once more to our esteemed Yarmouth friends that it would be as well if they adapted themselves a little more to what Mr Disraeli would mag- nificently characterise as the genius of the epoch. The Norfolk and 8uffolk Yacht Club next invites attention, and it may be observed that its affairs have undergone some change this year. The meetings have been held in much the same order, but have been distinguished by abundant variety, instead of the dreary- sameness which characterised them in 1862. We hear, however, that Mr R. J. H. Harvey has resigned the office of Commodore, and persists in his determination to retire from that position, alt hough he has been invited to reconsider his decision. On the whole, the club, notwithstanding this incident, may be said to hold quietly on its course, and if it does not afford any very brilliant sport, it has at any rate done much to revive and maintain a taste for yachting in the district represented by its members. Mr Harvey's liberality in organising and endowing a regatta on Oulton Broad must not be omitted from our recapitulation. Ano- ther regatta, which was set afoot with a flourish, is the Lynn, wh eh has dubbed itself " royal," and which has certainly made some progress as compared with 1862 and 18* 31. Persevering ef- forts were put forth to give eclat to both days'meetings, and to some extent they were rewarded with success, the contest for the championship of the Ouse being a new and at- tractive feature in the programme of the first day. At Hull, the Royal Yorkshire Yacht Club has had, as usual, two good days'sport under the auspices of Lord L » ndesborough, the respected Commodore. This club is steadily maintained, and it comprises several excellent yachting names," but it hardly takes the place in the aquatic world which it might be expected to acquire, comparatively little being heard of it. But the fact is, this applies more or less to all eastern coast yachting efforts, which are lost in the superior brilliancy of the southern and south- western shores. The Hull rowing regatta was an excellent affair, and the match between Humber keels was also deserving of commen- dation, as in harmony with one of the specialties of the port. To pass on from Hull to Boston it may be remarked that the Royal Boston Yacht Club has had an opening cruise and a regatta this year, being greatly indebted as regards the latter to the liberality of Mr J. W. Malcolm, M. P. for the borough, who presented an elegant cup on the occasion. If little is heard of the Royal York- shire still less account is taken of the Royal Boston, which has only very small yachts in its club list. For all this, it has done service in turning to good account the op- portunities afforded by the Witham and Boston Deeps. Cam- bridge has, as usual, maintained its character for first- rate rowing, and as long as Alma Mater flourishes the more sensible portion of the dons will doubtless take care that this is the case. The aqua- tic tastes of the undergraduates are also shared and imitated by the townsmen; in fact, rowing continues to stand as well as ever it did at the fair town on the banks of the Cam. Another town which has displayed of late years considerable ardour in the mat- ter of rowing is Ipswich, several rowingclubs having been formed at it, so that a contest for the Championship of the Orwell has be- come an annual affair of increasing interest. There is not a more beautiful stream in the whole district than the Orwell, or one the championship of which should be more highly prized. The row- ing spirit which once conferred some lustre 011 the Yare has not wholly died out, and appeared with something of its old vitality at Mr Harvey's regatta, at Oulton; but no regatta has been or- ganised at Norwich either this year or in 1862, and it must be con- fessed that aquatic affairs, for the want of some leader, are at rather a low ebb at Norwich at present, the Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club having absorbed all the zeal which exists in the matter. The Huntingdon Boat Club has not made much noise this year; it has nevertheless had one or two matches of more or less interest. Rowing at Lincoln appears to have ac- quired a great development, and a good two days' meeting re- cently took place, when several attractive prizes were competed for with animation and vigour. The Bedford Regatta has also sustained the promise of former years, and the committee deserves high praise for the efforts which it makes to render its proceedings of general public interest. At Reedham, the liberality of Mr T. Palmer secured this year a pleasant, although not a very preten- tious, afternoon's sport: the wherry match here was certainly a novel and amusing affair. Wells- next- the- Sea Regatta may be disposed of in a line or two; it is an out of the way place, which makes very little figure even in local affairs, and its aquatic amuse- ments are essentially local; the doings of the present year, such as they were, hswever, may be pronounced up to the standard of former meetings. We miss regattas this year at Aldeburgh, South- end, Heybridge, Lowestoft, and one or two other points ; in fact, the cloud which has hung over the entire country, in conse- quence of the American war, although partially dispelled, has not been wholly removed, and a slight depres- sion still prevails from this unfortunate source. Yachting however, although it may be under a cloud for a while, and pro- bably this is not true at present of yachting in the best serine of the word, and as it is witnessed in the Solent and the western waters, can never decline as a national sport, so long asAearts beat in British breasts, and sovereigns accumulate to any extent in British pockets. With regard to the Eastern counties, an excellent harvest has just been secured, a fact of immense importance to a purely agricultural district. This must tell favourably upon the amusements of the nest few months, and we look hopefully for- ward to next year, especially as regards the development which yachting is likely to take upon the north Essex coast line. In connection with Harwich we may note a fact which shows, as some utilitarians are prone, perhaps, to imagine, that yachting is not wholly waste time. The present President of the Board of Trad£, the Right Hon T. M. Gibson, is a yachting man, and his cutter yacht, the Resolute, 76 tons, built by Harvey, of Wivenhoe, hails from Aldeburgh, an eastern port. Well, no one was more ready tlian the right hon gentleman to consider the claims of Harwich harbour to public attention, because, having visited the harbour in his yacht, he was able himself to form a practical opinion on the subject. Had Mr Gibson been a high and dry d. ::,-: •; :: r- , nothing would probably have been done; but having a little of the old- Saltish element in his composition, the case was very different, and he at once gave an attentive ear to a matter of real public urgency. Mr Gihson, we may add, is now cruising on the French coasts," and while recruiting his health so as to enable him to grapple with the toils of the session of 1864, he is doubtless picking up information for which his department will be all the better. This may be a little digression, but. to sum up, we repeat that we look to the season of 1864 with hope. What with the Royal Harwich, the Royal Yorkshire, and the Royal Boston Yacht Clubs, the Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club, the boat clubs at Lynn, Lincoln, Hull, Ipswich, Huntingdon, & c, the contests for championships and prizes of all kinds, the kindly \ interest which a yachtsman like Mr Goodson must cause the Great Eastern Rail waj- Company to take in aquatics, and other circumstances which may be inferred from our gossipping re- capitulation, we cannot but think that we are justified in the con- clusion. PORT OF F0WEY REGATTA. The Port of Fowey annual regatta came off on Tuesday, but was not so successful as on former occasions. The funds were low, the entries few, and the weather bad, but the sport was good. This regatta has not of late received that amount of support from the county gentlemen that it is entitled to, and hence the present state of things. We believe, however, that the committee intend to double their exertions in future, and with the help of the gentry of the county we do not doubt that there will be a much better meeting next year. The advanced season of the year at which the present meeting was chosen also operated very much against the success of the affair, and we would suggest that in future the event should take place at a more suitable time of the year. There were very few ships in harbour on Wednesday, but the few who were riding at their moorings were gaily decked out with flags, makiag the scene afloat rather interesting. The Pol- kerris lifeboat was launched and remained in the harbour throughout the day, adding much to the attractions afloat. The patrons were Lord Vivian, Lord- Lieutenant or the county; N. Kendall, M. P.; T. J. Agar Robartes, M P.; W". Rashleigh, W. H. P. Carew, T. Hext, G. Freeth, R. W. Y. C.; John Coode, R. W. Y. C.; P. Melville, Captain Brine, R. N. ; and Captain Cornish, R. N. The following gentlemen formed the com- mittee:— Captain Sobey, 3d D. C. A. V. ; Captain Cornish, R. N.; Lieut Short, 3d D. C. A. V.; Lieut Hicks, 3d D. C. A. V.; Captain Durant, Mr W. Wreford, & c. Mr Wreford and Mr Sobey acted as hon secretaries, and Mr S. Short and Mr W. Hicks filled the office of hon treasurers. Mr J. Searle performed the duties of starter; Capt Smith and Mr S. Nickells were the umpires, and Capt Durant was appointed referee. The following is a return of the sport:— A SAILING MATCH, for boats not exceeding 16ft in length; first £ 2, second £ 1, third 10s. There were five entries— Idea ( Moss), Twins ( Ellery), Star ( Hicks), Nanny ( Smith), and Bess ( Smith, sen). The signal gun was fired at 11: 15, and all the boats soon got under weigh. Twins being the leading boat. The Idea was her nearest competitor, and on reaching the buoy inside the harbour passed the Twins, and kept the lead to the finish. The following is the order in which the boats arrived:— Idea, Twins, Star, Nanny, and Bess. SECOND CLASS FOUR- OARED ( bona fide) MERCHANT VESSELS' BOATS, not exceeding 15ft 6in in length ; first prize £ 1 10s, second £ 1, third 10s. Ann Beer ( Hanson), 1; Oceana ( Rendle), 2; Han- nah ( Todd), 3. Only three started. TWO- OARED BOATS, not exceeding 13ft in length nor less than 4ft 6in beam; no coxswains; first prize £ 1, second 10s, third 5S. F ur started, and at the close the following were the positions of the boats:— Annie ( Slade), 1; Hero ( Stevens), 2; Nymph ( Broad), 3; Firefly ( Hawken), 4. RACE FOR YACHTS not exceeding 10 toRs, for a cup value £ 4 4s, presented by the Hon Mrs Rashleigh ; under 10 tons to be al- lowed half a minute per ton ; course about eight miles. Only two yachts entered, viz, the Swallow, 6 t,> ns ( C. Treffry) ; Fairy, 8 tons ( Meredith and Wreford). The signal gun was fired at 1: 35, and both yachts got away in splendid style, the Swallow being first to get ahead. She maintained the lead to the mouth of the harbour, and the boats then disappeared from view, but on reappearing Fairy had the lead, and kept it throughout the first and second round. In the second round she gained four minutes on her competitor, and was two minutes ahead of them in the first round. The Swallow carried away her jib sheets during the race. The boats on their arrival at the committee ve- sel were timed thus:— H. M. s. I n. M. s. FAIRY 3 17 0 I SWALLOW 323 0_ It will be seen from the above that the Fairy won by 4min, having to allow her competitor 2min for difference of tonnage. FIRST- CLASS TWO OARED BOATS, not exceeding 15ft in length nor less than 4ft 4in beam ; first prize £ 1, second 10s, third 5s. FLIRT ( Budoon) 1| Kiss ME QUICK ( Todd).. 2 Only two started, and the third prize was consequently withheld. SECOND CLASS FOUR- OARED GIGS, not exceeding 23ft in length nor less than 4ft 8in beam; first prize £ 2, second £ 1 Only two boats started, viz, the Victoria ( H. M.' s Customs), and the Flying Fish ( Johnson). After a good race the Victoria won. FIRST CLASS FOUR- OARED ( bona fide) MERCHANT VESSELS' BOATS, not exceeding 17 feet in length ; first prize £ 2, second £ 1, third 10s. Ann Elizabeth ( Tregaskis) 1, Plover ( Polkinghome) 2, Anne Beer ( Hanson) 3. FIRST CLASS FOUR- OARED GIGS, not exceeding 32 feet in length ; first prize £ 4, second £ 2. Swift ( White of Plymouth) 1, Lance ( Rogers) of Plymouth 1. These were the only two boats that started, and the Swift won easily, having kept the lead throughout. Some minor sports terminated the proceedings. THAMES ROWING CLUB. GIG PAIRS.— The members of this gig club closed their racing season on Saturday, Sept 19, with a contest in pair- oared gigs, with coxswains, which produced some of the beet racing ever seen. The race was rowed in three heat?, all from Putney to Hammersmith, and Mr Kellett was the umpire throughout, ac- companying the races in a club four. FIRST HEAT. P. Steinmann and J. Radmall, \ V. J. Wilks ( cox) 1 I S. L. Cressall and J. Catty, F. Applegarth ( cox) 2 I Two other pairs had entered, but not putting in an appearance the above merely paddled over the course in the order named, as both had places in the final heat. SECOHD HEAT. H.

Hardie ( cox) ( Mid- dlesex station) 0 After a good start, Gore and Scovell took the lead, followed by the second pair; the others, getting off badly, lost two lengths. At Simmons's Gore and Scovell and Kelleway and partner were rowing a capital race, the former leading by half a length, and these positions were maintained to the Point, where Gore and Scovell went clear, whilst Talbot and O'Donoghue had so im- proved their position that they had come light up on Kelleway and Ingham, and a rare struggle for second place followed and continued to the Crab Tree, where Kelleway and Ingham asserted there supremacy, and rowing rapidly after Gore and Scovell, who had gone two lengths away, were collaring them fast at the Soap ' Works, where again Talbot and O'Donoghue spurted up, and now : all three boats continued an excellent race to the bridge. Gore aad Bcovell ultimately winning by half a length ; the same between the others, J FINAL HEAT. Cressall and Catty ( centre station) 1 Steinmann and Radmall ( Middlesexstation) 0 Gore and Scovell ( Surrey station) 0 Kelleway and Ingham ( centre station) 0 ! All got away very evenly but Gore and Scovell, who lost some- thing by a bad start. The others were all level up to Simmons's, where Steinmann and Radmall and Cressall and Catty drew out together, and throughout the whole of the course an uninterrupted and splendid race ensued between them. Opposite Finch's Gore and Scovell had considerably improved their position, and passing Kelleway and partner, were rowing an excellent third, press- ing the two leaders very hard; soon after this they fell oft' again slightly, and the last boat again coming up, there was a rattling race till beyond the Point, where Steinmann and Radmall and Cressall and Catty were just leading, Gore and Sco- vell on their quarter, Kelleway and Ingham half a length behind, but falling more astern afterwards. In these positions they reached Craven Cottage, where Gore and Scovell rowed up dead level with the two leading boats, and a magnificent race among all three ensued to the 8oap Works, where Gore and Scovell again fell behind, and Steinmann and Radmall and Cressall and Catty con- tinued their race, and it was a dead heat until they were within a hundred yards of the Bridge, when Cressall and Catty put on a capital spurt, and managed to draw themselves all but clear, so winning; Gore and Scovell were two lengths behind Steinmann and partner, and Kelleway and Ingham three lengths behind them. In thus concluding our account of the last race of the season of this club we must say that the members cannot but congratulate themselves on having had so successful a year, and the club bids fair to extend its usefulness, as it is in contemplation to build a boathouse, and go in for first- class rowing next season. After the race the members adjourned to the Red Lion, where the prizes, whieh were rery pretty pots given by the committee, were presented by the umpire. WEST LONDON ROWING CLUB. JUNIOR SCULLS.— The junior members of this club contended on Friday and Saturday, Sept 18 and 19, for two prizes, the first being a most tastily silver mounted epergne, presented by the club, and the second a prize given by a member, provided six gentle- men entered and started. The race for the first prize was con- cluded on Friday, and was contended for as under, all the heats being rowed from Putney to Hammersmith except the final. FIRST HEAT. W. P. Cecil ( Surrey station).... 1 1 G. Edgerick ( Middlesex station) 0 H. Judson ( centre station) 0 | Mr Lister sculled up as umpire, and the competitors were started by Mr Fred. J. Tyler, the hon sec. Mr Edgerick started rapidly, followed by Judson, Cecil slightly in the rear; he gra- dually im proved his position, however, until at Bishop's Creek he had rowed into second place. Judson having obtained the lead, and Edgerick falling last. At the Point Judson was well clear of Cecil, and the latter fouling a gig, Judson was enabled to improve his lead, but at Craven Cecil had crept up again, and on their arrival at the Dung Wharf had gone into first places after which he increased his position by two lengths at the Soap House, and had added another by the time he reached the bridge, SECOND HEAT. C. A. Hacker ( Middlesex station) 1 Uf. Cockerell ( Surrey station) .. 0 Mr Shepherd did not go. Mr Pitt sculled up with this heat as umpire, and Mr Tyler again officiated as starter. Mr Cockerell took a slight lead and maintained it to past Bishop's Creek, when Mr Hacker came up hand over hand, but Mr Coekerdl was deter- mined not to be passed very easily, and a capital race ensued to Craven Cottage, where Mr Hacker at length obtained the lead, and after that won rather easily. FINAL HEAT. W. P. Cecil ( Middlesex station).'. 1 | C. A.' llacker ( Surrey station).. 0 Distance, Hammersmith to Putney. Umpire, Mr Lister. Starter, Mr Tyler. Mr Hacker took the lead at a good pace and kept it to the Crab Tree, Cecil never being above half a length behind him. At this point the latter came up level, and a capital race ensued ta the Dung Wharf, when Hacker had to row slightly out of his course to avoid a barge. This gave Cecil a lead, and, although Hacker did his utmost to cut him down. Cecil proved himself the better man by going in the winner by three lengths. RACE FOR THE 8ECOXD PRIZE.— This prize, given by a mem- ber, was oflered in the event of six gentlemen starting, but this condition ( only five having gone) was waived, and the race came off on Saturday as under :— C. A. Hacker ( centre station) .. 1 | G. Edgerick ( Surrey station).... 0 H. Judson ( Middlesex station).. 0 | Mr Cockerell declined starting The distance was Putney to Hammersmith, and Mr F. W. Bryant, the captain, was umpire in the club eight. Mr Edgerick went away with tile lead, and held it to the Star, when the others came up dead Wvel, and Mr Edgerick was soon disposed of. A neck and neck race then ensued between Judson and Hacker, and so determined were they both to win, that there was no perceptible difference between them till they reached the Dung Wharf. After that Mr Hacker burst away, but Mr Judson's spurts were so determined and well timed that Mr Hacker never felt himself safe until he was under Ham- mersmith Bridge, where he was a clear length in front, thus win- ning the second prize. WEEKLY MEETISG.— The weekly meeting of the club was held the same evening at Salter's the Captain in the chair. The prizes were duly presented at this meeting, and arrangements were entered into with regard to the athletic sports, which will, as usual, take place this 3 ear. In the course of the evening the entries closed for the Senior 8cullers Race of the club, which will take place on Saturday, Oct 3, from Putney to Hammersmith, when the following gentlemen will contend:— F. J. Tyler, A. R. Pitt, G. D. Lister, W. P. Cecil. NORTH LONDON ROWING CLUB, SENIOR SCULLS.— The senior members of this club rowed a dis- puted race on Saturday, Sept 12, from Hammersmith to Putney, for a silver cup presented by the club. Mr Newman, the hon sec, was umpire, and the heats resulted as under :— FIRST HEAT. W. Newell 11 D. Smith 2 | B. R. Stafford 0 >\ well went away with a slight lead, being pressed very closely by the others to the Soap Works. Here Stafford fouled Smith, and this enabling Newell to increase his advantage materially he went well away and won the heat easily. In the second heat Mr D. Campbell walked over. FINAL HEAT. Campbell 11 Smith t I Newell | They started evenly, and, with Newell slightly leading, rowed a neck and neck race until they reached the Crab Tree, where Camp- bell drew level with Newell, and the race was exceedingly well con- tested to Craven Cottage. Here Newell fouled Campbell, and going on in front came in first, while Campbell and Smith rowed a splendid race home, the former only heading txis opponent by a few feet. At first we were given to understand that Mr Newell had been disqualified and Campbell declared the winner, but it has since been notified to us officially that the final heat will be rowed again Sept 26, from Barnes to Hammersmith. FOUR- OARED RACE.— This came off in outrigged boats onSatur- day, Sept 19, from Putney to Hammersmith, when the following crews contended ; Mr Stafford's crew, also entered, being unable to compete. MR XEWELL'S CREW ( centre station)— 1. W. Newell, 2. E. W. Scott, 3. D. J. Campbell, 4. E. R. Glendinning, Jas. Smith ( cox) 1 MR STINTON'S CREW ( Surrey station)— 1. A. Powell, 2. J. R. Goodwin, 3. H. K. Stinton, 4. W. Woodrow, G. J. Taylor ( cox) 0 MR PAUL'S CREW ( Middlesex station)— 1. C. Powell, 2. C. T. Wliiley, 3. J. Fryers, 4. J. G. Paul, T. W. Harris ( cox) .. 0 Paul's and Newell's crews got the best of the start, but Stinton's boat was soon level with them, and these positions they retained to the Star and Garter, when Paul's crew, owing to some barges being moored in their course, lost some distance, and Stinton's party puttingon a finespurt, drew slightly in advanceof Newell's, and gradually increased their lead to about a length at the Point, where Newell's crew, who had been rowing well together, drew themselves nearly level with Stinton's, gradually passed them off Craven Cottage, and led by a length at the Crab Tree, and Stinton's crew not being able to regain any of their lost ground, Newell's came in winners by about a length and a half. Paul's crew, who had not been able ( although they rowed a plucky stern wager throughout) to make up much of their lost distance, were some few lengths behind. Mr W. H. Newman, the hon sec, was umpire in the club eight, and the prizes ( very novel silver goblets, given by the club) were after the race presented by him at the club rooms. CORSAIR " ROWING CLUB. GIG PAIRS.— The members of this club rowed a race in pair- oared gigs, with coxswains, on Saturday, Sept 19, for prizes pre- sented by the club. The distance was Putney to Hammersmith, and the following the result:— W. Kearns and J. C. Kearns, W. Smith ( cox) ( centre station) 1 J. Eglese and H. Castell, T. Smith ( cox) ( Surrey station) .... 0 II. Kearns and ,1. Philips, H. Moore ( cox) ( centre station)— 0 A. Miller and N. Adams, H. Silverlock ( cox) ( Middlesex) — 0 Miller and Ada- ns took a trifling lead, but the others soon closed up the gap, and there was a capital neck and neck contest up to Simmons's, where the brothers Kearns began to assume the lead, Eglese and Castell going on second, although the latter's stretcher had slipped, while H. Kearns and Philips and Miller and Adams were contending smartly astern. Soon, however, the last- named pair began to tail off, and H. Kearns and Philips pur- suing Eglese and Castell caught them ere their arrival at the Point, and a desperate race ensued, first one and then the other leading till they neared the Dung Wharf, when the superior con- dition oi Eglese and Castell enabled them to shake off their oppo- nents and diminish the gap between themselves and the leading pair ( the brothers Kearns), who had led by a clear length at the Point, and had now added full another to their lead. This dis- tance Messrs Eglese and Castell contrived to shorten considerably by the time the Soap House was reached, but the two Kearns were more than a match for them, and succeeded in winning by a clear length, two lengths separating Messrs Eglese and Castell from the third pair, Messrs H. Kearns and Philips. SENIOR SCULLS.— The final race of the season will be rowed on Oct 3 by the senior scullers of the club, the entries closing Sept 26, at Simmons's boat yard. ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION, IMPORTANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES.— The Southport lifeboat of the National Liteboat Institution was instrumental on Sunday, Bept 20, during a heavy gale and high surf, in rescuing from the ship St Lawrence, of Liverpool, which had stranded on the Salt- house Sand Bank, oft" the mouth of the river Ribble, the captain's wife and child and twelve of the crew, the captain and three other men refusing to leave the vessel. The Lytham lifeboat, which also belongs to the National Institution, also went off with the 1 view of saving the four men. It appears that the Lytham lifeboat, after a hard pull, succeeded in reaching the stranded vessel; but : the captain and those with him still remaining firm in their deter- mination not to quit the ship, the lifeboat returned to the shore. On the following morning, however, a signal of distress was seen flying from the ship. The Lytham lifeboat again setoffimme- I diately. She found the vessel abandoned this time, the four men having left her during the night in their own boat. It was still blow- ing a gale of wind, but the crew of the lifeboat jumped on board : the ship. They found eight feet of water in the hold, which ren- j dered her nearly unmanageable. However, they determined to i make every effort to save her from destruction. After many hours : of arduous toil they succeeded in getting her under way, and in bringing her safely to port The ship would unquestionably have been lost had she remained much longer on the dangerous 6ands. The owner of the vessel witnessed the noble and successful exer- tions of the lifeboat crew in saving his property, and at once agreed to give them a handsome reward for their valuable ser- vice. The cost of the Southport lifeboat was presented to the Na tional Lifeboat Institution two or three years ago by Mr James Knowles, of Eagley Bank. She has since been instrumental in rescuing three shipwrecked crews, consisting of twenty- one per- sons, and has put off several times to the assistance of vessels in dis ress. The Lytham new lifeboat has only just been sent to her station, and is the gift to the institution of Mr Thomas Clayton, of Wakefield. SHOREHAM REGATTA,— This regatta took place on Friday, Sept 18, on the river Adur, in front of the town.

YACHTING IN FRANCE.— The yacht of the Emperor Napoleon has been at Bordeaux during the past week, having been placed at the disposal of the Princess Clotilde, who is about to embark in her in a few days for Lisbon, where she proposes to act as god- mother to the infant of her sister, the Queen of Portugal. The English cutter yacht Resolute, 76 tons, the Right Hon T. M. Gibson, which recently put in at Bordeaux, has since visited Brest, and after staying at that port a few daj s has again con- tinued her cruise. The results of the great yacht match at the Marseilles regatta were noticed last week. We may now add a few details with regard to the other yacht matches. In the first, which was between yachts of from 25ft to 33ft, there were ten entries, and the first prize of £ 48 went to the Zephir. M Graviot of Marseilles; the second of £ 16 to the Jeannette, M Turcos of Cannes; and the third to the Lucifer, M Crotte of Marseilles;^ the Victoria, an English yacht from Malta, only arrived fifth; The Temps of Paris, M Carpentier, came in second, but was dis- qualified in consequence of having made ready some instants before the signal to start was given. In the second series, for yachts of from 20ft to 25ft, there were nine entries, and the first prize of £ 32 went to the Etincelle, M Nicolas of Marseilles; the second prize of £ 10 to the Phoc^ en, M Arghalier of Marseilles; and the third to the Mathilde, M Chaix. In the third series, for yachts below 20ft, there were six entries, and the first prize of £ 24 went to Les Intimes, M Chateau of Marseilles; the second to the Papillon, M Olive of Marseilles; and the third to the Mon Idee, M Pedemor. te of Marseilles. The prizes awarded by the Minister of Marine, two gold medals, were won by the Etincelle and the Phoc^ en, both of the second series. The Zephir, of the first series, arrived second, but lost its right to the second prize in consequence of the allowance which it had to make for its greater length, 40ft. We may now pass on to the doings of the Cerell des Regates de Bordeaux, for small yachts of the third, fourth, and fifth categories. The matches took place in the Bordeaux river, over a course which altogether extended over 24 miles. The first match was for yachts from 22ft to 25ft floata- tion, and^ the prize, a silver medal, was won by the Mysore ( M Darmon), which accomplished the run in 3h 9tnin 45sec. In the fourth category, between yachts of from 20ft to 22ft, the prize went to the Lucifer, M E. M£ ge ( 3h 22min 53sec); and in the fifth category, below 20ft, the first priz", a silver medal, went to Le Voila, M Victor ( 3h 26min 50sec), and the second prize, a bronze medal, to the Papillon, M Levavasseur ( 3h 34min 40sec). The first and second categories, 40ft and 32ft, had taken plafe pre- viously at Ro3' an. Unfortunately, in consequence of injuries sustained before the start by several j'achts, and some absences, the first- category did not present a line of competitors, and the second match was also considerably reduced. This was all the more to be regretted as a good north- west breeze promised a serious and animated struggle. The distance sailed was 21 miles, and the Corsair and Zampa were atone placed in line. The Zampa ( M A. Demay) came in first, and of course received the first prize. These two regattas have closed the aquatic season at Bordeaux. Already preparations are being made for the approaching season, important constructions having been ordered either at Bordeaux itself OB at New York, on account of Bordeaux amateurs. Eegattas take place to- morrow at St Cloud ( Society des R6gat. es Pari- siennes) and Candebec. SAILING MATCH BETWEEN TWO CUTTERS AND TWO SCHOONERS OF THE R. Y. S.— On Saturday, Sept 19, a very interesting match came off in the Solent between the schooners Koh- i- noor, 42 tons, CaptLegard, R N., and Petrel, 64, Capt Perceval, and the cutters Busan, 60, Earl of Hardwicke, and the Nymph, 51, Sir J. Bayley, Bart. The course was from the Southampton water, round the buoy of the St. urbridge, thence to the westward round the Black Jack buoy, off Lymington creek, and back to Cowes Road. The Koh- i- noor appeared to have the advantage in working down to the westward, and rounded the buoy about two minutes and a half in advance of her competitors ; but in running up to the goal the Petrel set her squaresail, which told with effect, and she reached Cowes five minutes ahead of her opponents. The Susan, we learnt, carried away the jaws of her gaff when rounding the buoy. There was a strong breeze from the westward, which gave the yachts a dead beat down the west channel. PEDESTRIANISM.

The Royal Artillery stationed at Dover Castle attracted a nume- rous and fashionable company to the new drill ground on Tuesday, Sept 22, to witness a rehearsal of the achievements of the Athletse, and some mirth- provoking rustic games by the officers and men of the various brigades in garrison. The sports commenced at one o'clock, and were alternated by the instrumental and vocal per- formances of the bandsmen of " the Royal Artillery. The stewards were Capt Briscoe, Capt Black well. Lieut Jones, Lieut Lanning, and Sergeant- Major Hall. Capt Phelips was judge and referee, and Capt Briscoe etarter and clerk of the course. The roped arena i was well kept by non- commissioned officers and gunners. The following is the official result:— Flat Race, 100 yards, open to gunners and acting bombardiers: Won by Gunner M'Cracken.— Flat Race, 100 yards, open to non- commissioned officers : Won by Corporal Butler.— Flat Race, 100 yards, open to trumpeters: Wilkins 1, Dawson 2. — Flat Race, 100 yards, open to Staff sergeants, handicapped according to age and weight: Won by Battery Serg- Major Connor, beating three others.— For the Championship, 100 yards ; open to the previous winners: A good race, won by Gunner M'Cracken.— An Officers' Race, 100 yards, brought seven competitors to the post, but Dr Taylor started off at the first signal and was hopelessly struggled after by those who gallantly contended for second honours.— Hurdle Race, 200 yards, over double flights of hurdles ; four competitors: Won by Gunner Culverwell.— A Sack Race, 100 yards ; 12 competitors, three- fourths of whom came to harmless grief, affording roars of laughter to the spectators. Gunner Wood 1, Gunner Swift 2 — Officers' Flat Race, 400 yards : Dr Taylor evidently played with his antagonists throughout, although at the finish he was closely and determinedly presst d by Lieut Mulrennan, who was obliged to content himself with second honours.— A Wheelbarrow Race, 150 yards, each competitor blindfolded ; 14 entries : A fair start appeared to be effected, but the manner in which one com- petitor avoided sundry collisions and threw up his bar- row exactly opposite the winning- post, raised a suspicion that he had tampered with his bandage; the race, there- fore, was declared null and void, and when the men had once more placed their barrows at the starting- point, most effective blinkers were attached. The previous winner, however, got a good start, which he kept throughout, and the race was won by Gunner Wood ( No. 1 Battery), Gunner Swift ( No. 2 Battery), being a good second. The other twelve appeared to have strange and confused ideas of a straight line, running their barrows into the lines of spectators, or settling hopelessly down as they met with collisions and upsets.— A Half- mile Hurdle Race, open to the garrison, was won by Bugler Mackenzie, of the 78th Highlanders, who was closely run by a brother of the kilt, and nine others. — Half- mile Flat Race, open to the garrison: Private M'Carthy and Corporal Craig, both of the 78th ( Rosshire Buffs), led the way for five others— the Corporal " caught napping " close home, and losing first honours bj- a stride.— Grinning through Horse Collars, no paint allowed; the ugliest man to win ; a lady to judge. Stakes divided between Gunners Kemp, Robinson, and Scully.— The High Jump ( stand and run) : Gunner Holtby 1, Gunner Culver- well 2; eleven others competed. Height of jump, five feet. — A Mile Flat Race was resolutely run from starting flag to goal by nine competitors, Gunner Puttock having a slight advantage with the lead until they entered the straight run in, where they closed upon him, and such a bunch came struggling to the win- ning- post, that it was difficult for any one but the judge to de- termine the result. The popular clamour for a " dead heat" was, however, silenced when Capt Phelips declared— Gunner Fitzgerald 1, Gunner Puttock 2, and Gunner Reynolds 3.— Heavy Marching Order Race, 400 yards, for Artillerymen ( tripping allowed). Some heavy falls took place when near home, but out of five competi- tors three reached home in pretty close order. An inspection of kits succeeded, and Gunner Collier's being declared deficient a white shirt ( regimental order 63, and general orders being freely quoted), the race was awarded to Gunner Patton, and Collier reluc- tantly received the second prize.— Each Man to carry a Trumpe- ter ( or light weight) 150 yards; eight competitors: This afforded another illustration that " the race is not always to the swift." Close home the first, second, and third runners went to earth with their loads, and let up the more carefully- footed Wood, who was caught by Callaghan— after the flag was passed.— A Race with buckets of water, 100 yards, was contested by four, but two were disqualified for not keeping at " the double." The conditions of the match being disputed by Wood and Beeton ( first and second), it was ordered to be run again, and after a second drenching, Beeton succeeded in obtaining the verdict of the judge.— A Flat Race, 200 yards, was won by Private Mackenzie, 78th regiment.— Officers of the Garrison carrying light weights, 150 yards : Won by Ensign Stepney, 78th, beating Lieuts Richardson, Smith, Carey, Lanning, Montgomery, and Barlow.— Putting the Shot, Pole Jumping, and a number of other sports kept the company on the ground until evening. PEDESTRIANISM AT BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICTS. At Aston Cross Grounds, on Monday, Sept 21, there was a good muster present to witness the undermentioned matches, which took place— the first between Young Hodson of Birmingham and G. Lovett of Minworth, who at three o'clock toed the scratch to run 120 yards, Hodson giving a start of five yards, for £ 5 a side. Hodson is well known at these grounds, having run many matches, is a quick and active man on his pins, and is known as a fast man. Lovett is new to these grounds, is a thin, wiry little fellow, and his friends appeared pretty confident with the start given him he would bring it off in his favour, and took the odds of 6 to 4 laid on Hodson. Mr Cater did the needful as referee. Both men looked in first- rate condition. Hodson was attended by his old trainer, T. Jones ( Boushey), and Lovett by T. Brown. After several attempts, the men got away with a good start, Lovett keeping the lead for four score yards, when Hodson, who had gradually drawn nearer and nearer his man, passed him, and finished by running in a winner by two yards. BEN GARRINGTON AND HARRY BROWN— These well- known Birmingham men, after the above race, made their appearance on the ground, to run 100 yards, for £ 10 a side. The merits of both men are well known, they having run many matches in the above grounds, hut Garrington has not of late been so much before the public as a pedestrian, having been engaged for some time past in training several pugilists of the Birmingham district, and at pre- sent has Tom Cooper's big one in hand. His condition was first- rate ; so was that of Brown. The betting ruled at evens, at which a good bit of money was invested. Mr Coates was the appointed referee. Garrington was attended by T. Newbold, and Brown by Bullivant of Nottingham. The men not getting away at the ex- piration of 15 minutes, the referee ordered them to go by first report of pistol, fired by Mr Carter. At the report the men got away together. At a score yards Garrington had the lead, kept the same, running in a winner by a good yard. PRINCE OF WALES GROUND, HOLLOWAY HEAD, BIRMING- HAM.— At these grounds, on Monday, Sept 21, there was a pretty good attendance to witness a six score yards match which came off between T. Jinks and S. Clark ( both of Darlaston), who looked in good trim. As is usual with matches between district men, their friends generally rally round them, and freely back their favourites. Jinks was made the favourite at 6 to 4, at which a good bit of money was invested. C. Lee acted as their referee. At the signal the men got away with a level start, but at a score yards Jinks had got the lead, leaving his opponent yard by yard behind, and ran in in a winner by several yards. Immediately after the above the bell rang for running off the final heats of Deakin's 235 Yards Handicap, which commenced on the Saturday previous, for money prizes. Mr A. Roberts referee. C. Lee starter.— Lot 1 brought to the mark Dawes 37 yards start, 1 ; Smith 34, 2 ; Holdcroft 36, 3 ; Tates 35. After a good race Dawes won by a yard before Smith, who was the like distance before Holdcroft, Yates giving up at half dis- tance. — Lot 2 : A walk over by Pevin ( 36), neither Wilson ( 39) nor E. Cooper ( 36) putting in an appearance.— Lot 3 : Morley 35, 1; Foscall 32, 2; G. Stevens 32, 3. A well- con- tested heat, Morley winning by a yard, the like distance between second and third.— At half- past six the bell again rang for the de- ciding heat, for which appeared:— Dawes 37, Pevin36, Morley 35. This was well contested, the men getting away together, Dawes keeping first place for half the distance, when Pevin wrested it from him; a severe struggle between Morley and Dawes for place. Pevin went in first by a good yard and a half before Dawes, Morley a good third, Pevin receiving first prize, Dawes second, and Morley third. J. THOMPSON AND R. DATVES.— These men ran a 440 yards match at the above grounds this afternoon, at three, for £ 5 a side, Mr Moore, the stakeholder, having received the whole of the money, LOWERY AND WARNER.— These Birmingham men are matched to run 300 yards round the above grounds, on Monday, Oct 5, for £ 5 a side. ASH TREE GROUNDS, TITIDALE.— Notwithstanding the un- favourable state of the weather on Monday, Sept 21, these district grounds were well attended to witness the final heats in the 130 Yards Handicap, for novices, for money prizes, given by Mr T. Thomas. The account of the heats in the first day's running we gave in our impression of Sept 20. On the present occasion Mr Badcock acted as referee, and T. Thomas starter. At half- past three o'clock the following men ran in Lot 1:— J. Dickenson 14 yards start, T. Price 12. After a good race Dickinson won by two yards. Betting: 5 to i on Price.— Lot 2: H. Paskin 15, T. Darby 16. Paskin won easily by three yards.— Lot 3: W. Foster 15, W. Darby 13, 8. Jackson 10. Well contested, Foster winning by a yard before Darby; Jackson well up. Betting: 6 to 4 en Darby. — The deciding heat brought out Foster 15, 1; Paskin 15, 2, Dickinson 14, 3. Betting: 2 to 1 against Paskin. At the signal Foster and Dickinson got away together, Paskin getting away last. A well contested race, Foster winning by a yard before Paskin ; Dickinson close up; Foster receiving first prize, Paskin second, and Dickinson third. H. Tudor of Dudley Port and J. Kirham cf Westbromwich have signed articles to run 120 yards, for £ 5 aside, at the above grounds, on Monday, Oct 12. £ 1 a side is down, and a further deposit must be made on Monday, 8ept 28, to the stakeholder.

SATURDAY, SEPT 19.— WRESTLING FOR THE CHAMPION BELT.— This contest, which was arranged to come off here this afternoon, being attended by one or two drawbacks of a much more important nature than had been anticipated, renders a lengthened description perfectly unnecessary in these columns, a brief statement of facts only being requisite. The men who were engaged to compete for the prize, as well as for £ 25 a side, were a couple of athletes renowned in the vicinity of Manchester for their abilities in the wrestling arena, namely, J. Meadowcroft of Radcliffe ( near that city) and W. Schora of Ashton, the conditions being two out of three back falls in the Lancashire fashion, neither man to exceed 6score 61b weight. Both were and are champions at the pastime, Meadowcroft being the holder of the belt for which they contended to- day, and Schora is the tempo- rary possessor of a cup which he won on the Snipe Inn Grounds, Audenshaw, a short time ago, the latter trophy being confined to men under 6score 31b weight. The weather to- day was of that description which many strangers assert is peculiar to the manufacturing metropolis— high wind and heavy rain, and which they designate " Manchester weather.'' This, therefore, furnished one tangible reason for the com- paratively limited attendance, but nevertheless nearly 500 persons battled against the elements in order to be pre- sent. The betting commenced at evens on Meadowcroft, but the odds continued to increase until 3 to 1 was offered on him. It was, however, no fault on the part of Schora that speculation was thus rife in favour of his opponent, but it was to be attributed to the fact that he ( Schora) had previously been suffering from one of " the ills to which flesh is heir," by a severe affection of the throat, for which he had necessarily to seek the aid of medical skill. This, of course, caused his hope of success to be almost a forlorn one, hence the quotation we have above given against him ; but, as Schora determined to be no party to cause disappointment, he came to the conclusion to fulfil his engagement, albeit he should, as he well knew from previous experience, have to cope against an adept, and also pursue his favourite pastime under con- siderable difficulty. Shortly after the appointed hour ( three o'clock) Schora entered the arena, having for his attendants J. Cross and R. Ross of Ashton, while Meadowcroft was esquired by J. Acton of that town and J. Magnall of Bury, the offices of stake- holder and referee being filled by Mr Hayes, the donor of the belt and the proprietor of the grounds. The prelimi- naries having been adjusted, the competitors proceeded to business, and some good play was soon exhibited, Schora making two or three quick but ineffective efforts to floor Meadowcroft by the leg. As the round progressed, however, Schora's energies began to flag, arid Meadowcroft's strength to tell in his own favour, as he more than once lifted Schora high from the ground. At length the latter was completely overpowered, and the first bout resulted in favour of Meadowcroft, it having occupied 43 minutes. A consultation then took place, which ended in Schora agreeing to resign the contest in consideration of his opponent giving him £ 1, and thus Meadowcroft was declared the winner of the match. As might be expected, under the circumstances, Schora was by no means satisfied with his defeat, and he imme- diately afterwards handed to Mr Hayes £ 5, for the purpose of again wrestling Meadowcroft for the champion belt and £ 25 a side, in accordance with the conditions; the match to come off in six weeks. We may add that even if Schora had not once more thrown down the gauntlet, Meadowcroft would not, for the present at least, have been permitted to retire from the wrestling ring in- vested with the honours of the championship, as two other athletes were fully prepared to " try conclusions" with him for the envied title and the coveted prize. MONDAY'.— HEYWOOD AND NEWTON. — Another wrestling contest was fixed to come off at these grounds to- day, and in consequence of the turf sports of the adjacent village of Rad cliffe being set down in the racing fixtures for this afternoon, the match was arranged to commence at ten o'clock a. m. The per- formers were D. Heywood ( alias Big Dan) of Hollinwood and J. Newton ( alias Teapot) of Staleybridge, they having agreed to wrestle two out of three back falls in the Lancashire style, for £ 20 a side, at catch weights. Similar to Saturday, heavy rain again descended, consequently the attendance of spectators was small, and the betting on the issue of the contest was " conspicuous by its absence." Mr Hayes entered the ring for the purpose of dis- charging the duties of referee, but the event proved to be of such a nature as not to require his services. The men having peeled, they set to work in earnest, and after a gallant struggle, which was only continued for eight minutes, they agreed to desist; but why, was " one of those things which no fellah could under- stand." Each appeared in first- rate condition, and they seemed able to have wrestled a good match, and to have competed for a somewhat lengthened period before the victor was proclaimed. But whether it was the wet weather that damped their ardour, 0* the small assemblage that might appear to them to detract from the importance of the event, or the entire lack of speculation that drooped their spirits, or all of these combined, was not made manifest, though it was perfectly clear to many present that they themselves had gone a long distance to witness a short contest, and then had to console themselves with the reflection that the respective merits of the wrestlers remained in static quo by the stakes being withdrawn. PEDESTRIANISM.— The race of 300 yards, for £ 10 a side, between M. Oram and S. Howard, is to come off at these grounds to- day, Mr Hayes being stakeholder and referee. £- 5 each is now in his hands, and the men are to be on the mark at five o clock. M'GUIRE AND BENNETT.— F. M'Guire and W. Bennett ( re- spectively of Manchester) are engaged to contest the distance of one mile, for £ 5 a side, here, to- day, at half- past four o'clock. HEYWOOD AND HILTON.— Another deposit, making £ 7 10s each now down, has been handed to Mr J. Chadwick of Rochdale for the race of 440 yards, for £ 10 ( open for £ 20) a side, between J. Heywood of Smallbridge and C. Hilton of Rochdale, which is to be decided at these grounds OH Oct 3. The stakeholder has also been appointed referee. RABBIT SWEEPSTAKES.— A sweepstakes for dogs of all weights will come off at these grounds on Monday, Sept 28. £ 2 in prizes.

QUOITING.— The match at quoits, for £ 10 a side, between O. Cutler and J. Wilson ( both of Manchester) is arranged to come off here on Oct 3. The game is to be 61 shots up, 18 yards dis- tance, and each to provide his own quoits. Mr Hayes has been selected to fill the offices of stakeholder and referee; £ 5 a side is now in his hands, and the match is to commence at one o'clock. SHEFFIELD AND NEIGHBOURHOOD.

The competitors were then placed in a line and started. M. O'Connor being the first to touch the pig, it was awarded to him.

THE ELEVEN v THE TWENTY- TWO. This match was played at Marlborough on Aug 22.

The Eleven were then disposed of for the small score of 73, Leach and Fellowes playing well. In the second innings of the Twenty- two very good cricket was shown. Kewley and Bartholomew played good innings, and were well supported by Boyle, Miles, and Scobell. The Eleven went in for 222, but failed to achieve this, notwithstanding Head's fine in- nings of 46, and some other good play. Score: THE TWENTY- TWO. E. L. Chad wick, b Taylor J. A.

This match was commenced at the Priory Park, Chichester, on Friday, Sept 18, and proved to be the most interesting and best con- tested game of the season. The Officers won the toss and put in Lieuts Bent and Elmhirst. The latter played a masterly innings for 41, and Lieut Maxwell scored 37 in brilliant style. The hand produced 121, an excellent score against the bowling of Lillywhite and C. Pearse. The Parkites put 94 on the book, with but little hitting, the bowling being too good for a chance. On Saturday the Garrison were put hors de combat for 75, the bowling of Mr Gibbs being unmistakably destructive. Capt Truell put 33 toge- ther in a masterly manner, and carried out his bat, owing, it must be conceded, to a little loose fielding by Louch and A. L. Smith. The club ran up 100 runs, amid great excitement towards the close, C. Pearse then being hitting in fine style. Louch was given out leg before wicket, when two runs only were wanted. The fielding of the Garrison, particularly on the first day, was the admiration of all lovers of the game. The club were not so well up to their work, but on the whole the match was all that could be wished. We understand that this is the last match the Garri- son play this season, and their captain ( Capt Truell) requested us to note that they, one and all, felt great pleasure in having played their last game in the Priory Park, and we feel assured the feel- ing is reciprocated by the Priory Park Club, who can never hope to have more gentlemanly men or better cricketers for opponents. On Saturday the fine band of the 53d Regiment played during the afternoon, under the direction of Mr Farrugia, greatly to the delight of a numerous concourse of ladies and gentlemen of the city and neighbourhood. The weather on both days was all that a cricketer could wish or hope for at this season. Score: THE GARRISON. lst Inn 2d inn C. Bent, b Pearse 5 b Lillywhite 7 II.

This match was played on Sept 9 at Marlborough, and after a long series of defeats the School at length obtained an undoubted victory. Their batting throughout was good; Fellowes and Leach played magnificently, and Monnington and Head also played well for their runs, though it must be allowed that the bowling and fielding of the Sixth was not up to the mark. In their batting, also, there was room for improvement, Taylor, Cross, and Butter- worth alone obtaining double figures. Score: SIXTH FORM. lst inn 2d inn E. F. Taylor, b HUlyard 32 b Hillyard 3 F.

MARLBOROUGH COLLEGE v ACTIVE FLEAS. For this important match nine Fleas came to the scratch, their number being made up by two emergencies. Marlborough won the toss, and, notwithstanding the activity of their opponents, put together 119, the captain causing much hunting by his fine innings of 46. Taylor and Hillyard also played well. The shades of evening approaching, the Fleas took possession and made 135, one of them playing a fine innings of 60. In the second innings Marlborough obtained 196, and might have got more but for seve- ral unsuccessful attempts to rival the activity of their opponents. Their batting showed better than it has this year, and Harbord, Leach, and Monnington played fine innings; but the pluck of the Fleas was indomitable, and Mr Grace " bit" (!) hard in his 79 ( not out), and Capt Fyfe played well to the tune of 44.

This, the last match of the season of both clubs, was played at Hackney on Sept 19, and won by the former by 61 runs on the first innings. The great feature of the match was the bowling of Messrs Seymour and J. Squires; the former took all the wickets of the Aldersgate, and but three runs were obtained from the latter. The ground was very bad for long stopping. The Eastern Counties have played 24 matches, of which they have won 21, lost two, and one drawn owing to rain. Score: ALDERSGATE. I EASTERN COUNTIES. S.

V COUNTY OF KILDARE ( WITH DOYLE). SEPT 15.— Another victory for the V. R. C. Franklin having dis- posed summarily of the two dangerous bats, the rest fell victims to the slows. The weather was propitious, though the red- dening leaves of the chesnuts warned the players that the season was nearly over. The day though not absolutely sultry was on the whole far more favourable for play than was expected. VICEREGAL. lst inn 2d Inn G. Booth, b Roberts 0 R. Agar, run out 39 J.

RAMBLERS V WIMBLEOON.— Mr Editor: In answer to tke anonymous letter on this subject in your impression of the 20th Sept, I beg to say that my account of the match was amply justi- fied by the facts, which are not quite correctly stated by " A Rambler." No allusion was made or intended to the refusal of the Ramblers to continue the match after " time," as that was considered to be purely a matter of taste.— Yours, & c, THE SECEE- TAEY OF THE WIMBLEDON CLUB.
