[ GRATIS.] SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1863. [ GRATIS.] RACING IN BOHEMIA. PARDUBITZ RACES. Stewards: Count Harrach, Prince L. Rohan, Baron de Beth- mann. Judge: Colonel Count de Bellegardo. Clerk of the Scales: Baron de Bethinann. Starters: Prince L. Rohan and Mr W. Stone. Secretary: Mr Cavaliero. The twenty- third anniversary of this race meeting, which may be termed the winding up of the season, took place on the lst fnst and the two following days. Never do we remember seeing so fine a lot of horses assembled as on the present occasion ; the weather too was most favourable, and an unusual number of sportsmen from Hamburg, Prussia, Hungary, and other parts of the Continent had assembled to this rather out of the way Bohe- mian village, which, however, may be justly termed " the Melton of Austria." It is true we do not meet here with the comfort of the " George Inn," but, for him who can fare on pheasants and small beer, and put up with a moderate bed, there will be no cause to complain. We are, however, fully convinced that if Prague was to be made the fixture for this autumn meet- ing, it would be second in brilliancy to no other race meeting on the Continent. Great preparations are being set on foot for the establishment of a grand racing ren- dezvous at Frankfort on the Maine; subscription shares are flowing in from all quarters, and most probably in August next we shall witness a sporting assembly surpassed by none on the whole continent of Europe. Why should there not be an equal competition at Prague ? Why should we not see the French horses in Bohemia \ It is to be hoped that our . authorities, who are so willing to further the sport on the Rhine, will not forget how much their aid and assistance is still required in the borders of the Moldan. But to return to Pardubitz races, the programme of which we have to report; there are eighteen items in the list for the three days, and of these we shall only refer to the principal events, and to such horses as your readers may be more ac- quainted with, and we come at once to the Grand Imperial Prize of 1,000 ducats, a yearly donation of H. M. the Emperor of Austria, for horses and mares of all countries— the same prize is given at Vienna, Pest, Lemberg, and Clausenberg. There were sixteen horses entered for this stake, but only seven appeared at the post. Vinegar Hill, by Kingstown out of Velleda, a late arrival in this country, purchased for Count H. Henckel, jun, at rather a stiftish figure, by his performance in England and his late running at Stamford was en; itied to be ranked among the first favourites, and he had attained this position on the day of the race ; but to those who had examined the horse more minutely it appeared evident that such a framed animal could not live under the stipulated weights, and there were many who laid great odds against him, and won their money, the horse dying away to nothing in the second mile. The less recent arrivals from England were a four year old brown colt by Voltigeur out of Miss Ann, bred by Mr Merry, and bought at the *' Corner'' last autumn by Mr Bateman for about 70gs, a horse of great length, with plenty of substance; he has since become the property of Count Gold- stein, of Mecklenburg, and is under Mr Bateman's charge, who is entitled to the greatest praise for the manner in which he brought this horse to the post; Arogante, a slight made, blood like mare, with excellent points, by Stockwell outof Mary, belong- ing to the same party and stable, made all the running, and Count Goldstein's colours passed the chair first and second, with nothing else near. Orphan Girl, by Mountain Deer, showed symptoms of distress before she had travelled two miles; nor was Voltella, by Voltigeur out of Catalpa, able to get further than two miles and a half. Comesta, a good sort of inare, bred by Count Renard, by Testator out of a Comus mare, was the only animal that showed in the race, excepting the two placed by the judge. Giles I., Virgilius, Watchtire and Richard were likewise named for this race, but were withdrawn for reasons best known to the respective stables. The Handicap was a well- contested race, and was won cleverly by Count O. Kinsky's five year old bay mare Lancelin, by West Australian out of Cossack Maid, a mare with a good deal of quality and fine speed. Count Henckel's Giles the First made his appearance only in the Norddeutscher prize, where he had to run only a mile against Count Renard's Grimston, a three year old colt by Stockwell out cf La Fille d Regiment, a level made, strong animal, but not able to take the speed out of Giles, who won his race with tolerable ease. Count Renard's Comesta carried off the Ladies' Cup, under the piloting of Lieut Rosenberg, with 101b in hand, beating Prince Albert, by Fandango, and Snap- shot, by Voltigeur; the latter has since been purchased for the stud. Among the Continental bred horses most deserving of note was a stiong, thickset colt by Cotswold, bred by His High ness Prince Esterhazy at his stud in Ozora, for some years past under the management of Mr Cavaliero; this colt carried off the Second Class Imperial Prize of 600 ducats ; he was trained by Mr T. Benson, to whom great credit is due for the manner he in general brings his horses to the post. This same colt carried off the Grand Imperial Prize of 1,000 ducats in June lastatPestli, beating Princess Louisa, by General Williams, and seyjeral others. He is a horse of small size, with extraordinary muscular power, and resembles his sire Cotswold, who was purchased some few years back for Prince Esterhazy's stud by Mr Cava- liero; a two year old grey mare of Count O. Kinsky's, and a two year old roan colt by Incognito out of Elastic, of Count Harrach's, attracted our particular notice. The ches- nut colt Hampton, by Ephesus or Sheet Anchor, the pro- perty of H. H. Prince Louis Rohan, carried off two minor races. This horse is under the management of Mr Wheeler, and was ridden by Wicks, who manifested great patience and skill. An interesting and near thing for the Thousand Florins, given by Prince Auersberg and Count Harrach, resulted in favour of Baron de Bethmann's three year old brown filly Eugenie, by Chief Baron Nicholson out of Constance, by Wolfdog, while Count O. Kinsky's three year old black filly Ida Marie, by Chief Baron Nicholson, and his brown colt Macbeth, by same sire, had no difficulty in disposing of Ellen in the Triennial. H. H. Prince Benjamin Rohan's four year old bay colt, Major Williams, made an example of his two opponents for the Second Triennial Stakes. To finish, Herr von der Luhe won the Selling Stakes with a light, fretful animal, Noblesse, by The Nob, who was not claimed. Voltella was sold to Mr Cavaliero for 400 Louis d'or. All praise is due to the directors for the satisfactory manner in which the business was conducted; the only thing wanted was a greater competition to realise the hopes of the race committee and the most sanguine supporters of the Autumn Meeting in Bohemia, Which is evidently increasing in interest every year.

North Countryman slightly in advance, who was soon joined by Count Kinsky's mare Ida Marie, who forced the run- ning at a killing pace." The two leading horses were followed, at a considerable distance between, by Fullsail. Embassy, and White- nose. On approaching the Wood Hill Ida Marie had given way, and North Countryman fell back to keep company with Fullsail, who was lying close up. On approaching the top turn Whitenose drew to the fore, raced with North Countryman to the distance, and was at this point a length in advance, every thing else being hors de combat. A fine race for home now ensued, the Cotswold colt catching his opponent again ten lengths before the chair, winning cleverly by three- quarters of a length. Run in 4min 20sec.

ILEX CLUB.— The usual winter meeting of this club came off on Monday evening, Oct 12, at the Lambeth Baths, when most hand- some prizes were provided, for all distancesfrom two to 1" lengths, and other sports, for which so large a number of genth men had entered that they were divided into heats, there being no less than 15 races. So varied a programme had the effect of bringing together over 360 members of various clubs to witness the sports, which, of course, must materially add to the club's funds. The whole affair was under the management of Mr J. P Davis, of the London Rowing Club, the ton sec, who on this, as on all other occasions, worked in real earnest, and under his direction the sports commenced at seven o'clock with : I. A race for three prizes, open to all who have not won a prize, distance two lengths of the bath.— First heat: F. Drake ( West London Rowing Club) 1, J. lies ( Ilex R. C.) 2, R. G. Fisher ( Ariel R. C.) 0, R. Bridget* ( Twick- enham R. C. j 0, T. D. Hill ( Twickenham R. C.) 0. Drake, soon taking the lead, won by two lengths; a tine race for second, lies getting the best of it by about half a length.— Second heat: T. W. Knaps ( Kingston R. C.) 1, T. Joyce ( London R. C.) 2, T. Bond ( Twickenham R. C.) 0, G. Grant ( Twickenham R. C.) 0, J. Woodhams ( Ilex) 0, C. Gibbons ( London R. C.) 0. A tine race halfway, when Knaps and Joyce got together, and a splendid race right away home nearly resulted in a dead heat.— Tiiir. l heat: B. Cecil ( Ilex R. C.) 1, A. Newman ( London R. C.) 2, C. W. Roney ( Ariel R. C.) 0, J. Catty ( London R. C.) 0, J. P. Moore ( London R. C.) 0. Roney had the lead in a stroke or two, but Cecil took it from him, and Newman also coming up, a fine race followed between these two, Cecil win- ning by a yard ; Roney half a length behind Newman.— Final heat: Cecil 1, Drake 2, Newman 3, lies 0, Joyce0, Knap 0. This was a fine race to the top of the bath, Newman, Knap, and Drake slightly leading the other three. Cecil then came out, followed by Drake, and the race lay between these two, Cecil, quiteayouth, spurting with the greatest game away from his powerful oppo- nent at the fountain, and winning by a length and a halt ; New- man half a length behind Drake.— II. Race for all but the winners iu the Captains' or Public Races; distance six lengths. First heat: J. Bloxam ( London R. C.) 1, C. Fisher ( Ariel R. C.) 0, E. Carbonell ( Ilex E. C.) 0, W. H. Midwinter ( IlexR. C.) O. Fisher had the lead the first time up, when Bloxam and Carbonell got together, and raced well, Midwinter soon giving up, in order to reserve his energies for the Four Lengths'Race ; Carbonell soon followed suit, and the race was now left to Fisher and Bloxam, the latter of whom soon gave his opponent the go- by, and won easily.— Second heat: J. Westell ( Ariel R. C.) 1, G. F. Comer ( London R. C.) 0. Westell took a strong lead from the commencement, and although Comer went all the distance he was evidently no use to his oppo- nent, who lapped him at the finish. Final heat: Bloxam 1, Westell 0. Westell took the lead and maintained it, after a fine race, till the end of the fourth length, where Bloxam, who had never been more than a yard or two behind, came with a rush, and holding his lead, won by three yards.— III. Mr Harvey next entered the water for the purpose, as the programme said, of ex- hibiting some ornamental swimming, and after undressing with the greatest ease, proceeded to go through various tricks, inclu- ding floating, paddling, walking backwards and forwards, swim- ming with his arms and feet tied, & c, all which feats called down thunders of applause.— IV. Race for two prizes, open to ail but winners of first or second prizes in the river races; distance, four lengths. First heat: W. H. Midwinter ( Ilex R. C.) 1, W. Collings ( Ilex R. C.) 2, R. G. Fisher ( Ariel R. C.) 0. A good start and race to the top of the bath, where Midwinter took the lead, and holding it won by two lengths. Collings passed Fisher entering the second length, and maintained his advantage, leading him by a length at the finish. Second heat: J. Bloxam ( London R. C.) 1, W. Lowe ( London R. C.) 2, A. R. Pitt ( Wrest London R. C.) 0, F. Fisher ( Ariel R. C.) 0, E. Lee ( Nautili- is R. C.) 0. Fisher came away with the lead, then Bloxam, Lowenext, Pitt last. The latter gradually picked up, and coming back the second time Bloxam had obtained the lead, Fisher being engaged in a fine race with Lowe, while Pitt pressed them closely. During the third length Fisher took the second place well, but turning for the last length his drawers became disarranged, and this throwing him back, Lowe and Pitt passed him, and had a severe race home, Lowe getting the second place by half a length. Bloxam won the heat easily.— Final heat: Bloxam 1, Midwinter 2, Collings 0, Lowe 0. They started very evenly, and remained so to the top of the bath, where Midwinter and Bloxam had drawn out together, and had a severe race till the middle of the third length, where Bloxam took the lead, and turning quickest, won by a little over a length.— V. Race open to all members, distance 10 lengths. J. Carbonell ( Ilex R. C.) 1, G-. Ryan (" London R. C.) 0. Mr Birch, the captain, had also entered, but much regret was felt at his absence. The race was very fine throughout, but Carbonell had the lead all the time, and al- though Ryan turned much the quicker, and nearly caught his man each time, he was evidently in no condition, and Carbonell putting on a spurt at the end, won by 7 or 8 yards. Carbonell used the side stroke the greater part of the distance.— VI. Longest Plunge: For this eight gentlemen entered, viz, C. Fisher ( Ariel), T. Joyce ( London), W. F. Harvey ( Ilex), J. Carbonell ( Ilex), J. Bloxam ( London), W. Moxon ( London), J. Woodhams, and E. Lee, and each gentleman was allowed three attempts. Mr Moxon went much the longest distance the first time, Mr Harvey the second, Mr Lee next. The second plunge left matters in the same position, but Mr Harvey beat Moxon on his third plunge, and Moxon had consequently to go again. He succeeded in plunging a foot and a half beyond his first attempt, and consequently was declared the winner ; his length of plunge was 40 feet, and Mr Harvey's 39 feet 6 inches.— VII. Diving for eggs: This, always an amusing operation, was doubly so on this occasion, the two first gentlemen tieing on the first attempt; viz, Mr C. W. Roney and W. E. Harvey, while Mr Woodhams picked up seven. The latter gentleman going again only picked up eight, making in all 15, and retired in favour of the other two gentlemen, who going a second time, again tied, but on the third attempt MrRoney beat his opponent by one, and won the pot. The numbers were— Roney 8, 8, 9— 25; Harvey 8, 8, 8— 24.— VIII. A steeple chase, won by Mr J. Carbonell, completed an excellent evening's amusement.

The coursing season in tte midland district was opened on Tuesday, Oct 13, on the Coole Pilate estate, by permission of Mr T. L. Boote. The draw took place on Monday evening, Oct 12, at the Crown Hotel, Audlem, under the superintendence of Mr Ash- ley, who officiated pro tem during the lion sees absence. For the second year it was intended to extend the meeting over two days, the Produce Stakes having numbered 33 entries, but owing to kennel lameness, youth of puppies, Sac, but 16 were placed upon the programme of the day's sport for the juveniles, and a 16 all- aged stake for the Challenge Cup, so it was at once suggested that the meeting should be brought to a conclusion on the first day. On Tuesday morning we met at the Coole Pilate Bridge of the Shropshire Union Canal, to which is adjacent the Market Drayton line now in construction. In a field adjoining the first brace of dogs were placed in the slips for the Produce Stakes, and, as might have been expected, much time was lost in this locality, for looking for a needle in a bottle of hay is but a light task com- pared to searching for hares near a railway in course of formation, the industrious navvj' early causing the wires to be at work with- out the aid of electricity, and securing sacksful of the lured game, however watchful the keeper and his assistants may be. In two hours and twenty minutes we had run off but three courses, with one undecided, when a move was made to the opposite side of the canal, where the hares were more numerous, and the sport more exciting. The first slip was undecided between Phoebe and Con- fusion ; in their next attempt Phoebe led two lengths to the first fence, which both well cleared, Phcebe maintaining her forward position across the next field, where, at the fence, Confusion got in front, and led out of sight. Hazard led from slips, but the hare coming round in favour of the White Doe of Rylstone, placed her about two lengths ahead of her opponent, and she well worked her hare across the next field to the fence gained the fiat of Mr Warwick. Energy and Tim Whiffier: The latter was many lengths faster than Energy, and in making two resolute attempts to kill, fell each time, giving a chance to Energy, whose pace was not good enough to allow him to take advantage of the mis- fortunes of his opponent. Lightly Bounce and Enigma ran an undecided. In their next trial Enigma led, and was evidently the fastest, but the hare coming slightly round in favour of Lightly Bounce, she shot up on the inside, wrenched, and killed. Topaz, on the outside ground, was more speedy than Anstey Lass, who never made a point in a course of average length. Topaz exhibited very promising abilities. Hob y Derri Dano and Tally- ho: The former displayed the more speed, but being a very young raw bitch puppy, only 14 months old, and 611b weight, by Mr Brun- dritt's Bramwell out of Havoc, was defeated by Tally- ho, who was very clever when at his game. Colosseum gained the fiat over Tempest by shew of speed to the first fence, where the hare blinked them. White Lady of Avenel was declared the winner of a scrambling course.— The Audlem Challenge Cup : Elwy and Belligerent: The great speed of the latter was at once manifest on being slipped by shooting several lengths in advance of Elwy, and he ran well in the line of his hare until coming down the fence side, where he began to hedge to it, but when the hare broke away into the middle of the field, he again went straight, and giving a succession of go- byes, ultimately pulled Pussy down very cleverly, beating his opponent hollow. Fox beat Monarch, but the nois3- and obstreperous snobs from Nantwich with their fiendlike yells prevented the more orderly portion of the field witnessing the course. Teddy outpaced Haricot, and won with plenty to spare. Blue Beard never rendered the slightest assist- ance in a good ceurse with Wee Nell, who won from beginning to end. Troy and Evening Star ran a short undecided; when they were again let go the Star shot from Troy, turned twice, put in the latter, gave a clear go- by, and won handsomely. Bit of Fashion, unused to an enclosed country, was much the faster, but pulling up at the first fence, gave an easy victory to Miss Hannah. Briggate had the foot of, and was cleverer than, Pride ofJAvon. Battle Cry led Sir Baldwin, | but the hare coming round to the latter, placed him in a good position; however, Battle Cry drew past on the outer circle, and knocking his hare about in the next field in clever style, never let the course be once in doubt.— The Produce Stakes ( first ties): Phcebe beat White Doe of Rylstone, notwithstanding a heavy fail in the race up, much of the course being run out of sight. Lightly Bounce in the run up also fell a purler, but quickly up again, raced past Tim Whiffler, wrenched, and turnedTim killed. Topaz and Tally- ho ran an evenly- contested spin, which was un- decided, when the former was drawn, her abilities gaining the confidence of Mr Jebb, in whose nomination she will run at the forthcoming Amesbury ( Wiltshire) Champion Meeting. After an undecided White Lady of Avenel was faster than Col- osseum throughout until she tripped, when the latter went in front, but failed to do anything with a good hare before it escaped.— The Challenge Cup ( first ties): Belligerent and Fox : After the breather the former had in his first course he ran more steadily, and beat Fox very decisively. Teddy was a shade faster than Wee Nell, but the hare running in her favour she gained first turn, but in the next field Teddy got well on the line of his game, and running determined, beat the favourite with plenty to spare. Evening Star and Miss Hannah: The beautiful star led until the hare bore round in favour of Miss Hannah, who after- wards won two- thirds of a give and take course. Battle Cry gained the fiat over Briggate by show of speed to the fence, nothing more being done in our sight.— The Challenge Cup ( second ties): Teddy gained the early points, until Bel- ligerent steadied himself, got to work, and was fast rubbing off his opponent's score, when a third dog joined in, and Mr Warwick gave the course undecided. As it was afterwards proved that the interloper belonged to the same owner as Teddy, the stewards very properly adhered to the National Coursing Rules, and awarded the course to Belligerent.— Deciding course: Belli- gerent and Miss Hannah : Immediately on being slipped Belli- gerent changed sides, through which he lost first turn, and also going rather wide, let Miss Hannah take the two following points; Belligerent then got in front, wrenched, turned, and killed a shade too soon to win the Cup.— The produce Stakes ( second ties): Lightly Bounce ran away from Phoebe eight lengths to the hare, turned, and let in Pha'be, the| former immediately going clear by and killing. Tally- ho, during the time they were in our sight, very cle- verly beat the White Lady of Avenel. Deciding course : Lightly Bounce and Tally- ho: The latter led until the hare bent in favour of Lightly Bounce, but Tally- ho got first through the fence, which secured him the two first turns, when some ex- changes followed, of which Tally- ho had the best, winning the stakes very gamely. At a late hour the meeting was brought to a conclusion, the running throughout the day being equal to any we have witnessed in an enclosed country. The sport would have been much more enjoyable had the foot people responded to the kind solicitation of Mr Boote, whose endeavours to keep the field in order were attended with but little success. In the field we noticed Mr Jebb, Mr Green, Mr T. ElKs Mr Brundritt, Mr Tomlin- son, Mr Bills, & c, and we regret to have to state we were deprived of the company of that enthusiastic courser, R. C. Edleston, Esq, who at the late Combermere meeting fractured two of his ribs through a fall from his horse. Mr Warwick got through his official duties with his usual ability, and J. Timmis, as an amateur slipped creditably. ASHDOWN. BORDER CLUB AUTUMN MEETING- OCT 7, 8, & 9. Stewards : Lord Binning, J. Jardine, J. Clay, W Forster, E. Coulston, and T. Oliver, Esqs. Hon Sec: J.

The autumn meeting of this club opened on Wednesday over the barony of Sprouston, by the kind permission of the Duke of Roxburghe. The ground selected for the opening courses was on the Redden Haughs. Although in the morning a heavy shower fell, the day throughout was favourable, being clear and cold, and the attendance on the coursing ground was nu- merous. Amongst those present were Lord Binning, the Hon Capt H. Bail lie Hamilton, the Hon and Rev Arthur Baillie Ha- milton, and D. W. Brown, Esq, of Longformacus. Hares were very plentiful, but, generally speaking, were not strong. At the conclusion of the day's sport, a party of the members and their friends dined in the Cross Keys Hotel, and spent a very pleasant evening, when, among other toasts, that of his grace the Duke of Roxburghe was drunk with much cordiality, for the liberal per- mission ever readily given to the club to course over the finest coursing ground in Britain ; and also that of the tenantry on the barony of Sprouston, for their kindness on this and many previous occasions. On Thursday the coursing took place over the farm of Kerchesters. Hares were very scarce, and the sport was conse- quently indifferent. Although the weather was very disagreeable, being cold and wet, the attendance, as on the previous day, was numerous. Friday, the weather was even worse than it was on Thursday. Indeed a more disagreeable day for the sport could scarcely have been experienced, and few but the most ardent sportsmen were present to witness the close of the proceedings. Redden Haughs were again tried with a success equal to that of Wednesday, hares being very plentiful. The sport was excellent. The arrangements of the stewards, carried out under the auspices of their energetic and popular secretary, Mr Usher, were ad- mirable, and gave the most entire satisfaction. Altogether, the meeting has been the most successful held under the auspices of the Border Club. MARKET WEIGHT0N MEETING- OCT 7, 8, & 9. Stewards: Lee Steere Steere, G. Blanshard, J. Hodson, W. H.

SALMON FISHERIES. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR : Your correspondent " Fin," in your paper of the 20th September, gives the following simple directions for filling every salmon river in Great Britain in a few years:—" Let the fish up to their spawning beds, protect them while spawning, and let the smolts run down." Every one acquainted with the habits of the salmon must be aware of the value of " Fin's'' advice, and would like to have the power of following it, but simple as it appears, I shall be obliged to him or any one else for information how to carry out his recommendations on a first- rate salmon river of about 70 miles in length, where the means provided by voluntary subscriptions barely suffice to keep one watcher to stop the poach- ing propensities of about 400 men, always intent on preventing the suggestions of your correspondent from being carried out.— Yours, & c, A CONSERVATOR, AND HON SEC TO AN ASSOCIATION WITHOUT FUNDS. ANGLING.— MATCH ON THE YARE.— On Monday, Oct 12, a match took plaoe at Thorpe, near Norwich, for a cup, of the value of £ 2 2s, given by Mr C. Anderson. Eight boats entered, but one was disqualified. Angling commenced at eleven, and terminated at three o'clock, when the referee decided in favour of Mr W. Jecks, fishmonger, of Norwich. Clasper beat Commissioner Pontside beat Blinker Crosspatch beat Boston ( 2) Goneril beat Brier Rocket beat Smailhopes Helen Mar beat King Death Bruin beat Gouden Pot ( l) Chancellor beat Border Witch 1 The Brick beat Naughty Word Silent Friend beat Zerinda Gertrude beat Kate Vaughan Black Hawk bt Newman Noggs ( 1 drawn) 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. HON ARTILLERY COMPANY'S ATHLETIC SPORTS. Again we have to refer to; the celebration of the athletic pas- times among the members of the Honourable Artillery Company, and it is gratifying to state that upon no preceding occasion since the affair has been taken in hand has any of the meetings gone off with more spirit and satisfaction than the present. As usual, the head- quarters of the company, Finsbury, was the scene of merry making and gay festivity, and here, on Saturday, Oct 10, a large assemblage of spectators took place, the sports, as here- tofore, being decided on the spacious exercise ground. The wea- ther was on the whole all that could be desired for the full enjoy- ment of the sport, and reflects the highest credit on those gentle- men who formed the committee. Among the company were many ladies, who evidently took much interest in the doings. Sergeant Johnson acted as clerk of the course, while Sergeant Mace offi- ciated as starter, and, as on former occasions, discharged the duties of his office most efficiently. The splendid band of the Honourable Artillery Company was on duty throughout the whole of the meeting, and at intervals varied the scene by some most excellent music. The sports had been announced to com- mence at two o'clock, and punctual to the hour named the bugle sounded the " charge." The first event that figured on the pro- gramme for decision was MILE WALKING MATCH.— Three competitors had entered for this event, viz, Mr Waterworth, Mr Rash, and Mr C. Johnson, but on the list being called over Mr C. Johnson was the only one out of the trio that came to the scratch, therefore he had nothing more to do than to walk over the distance to win. A RACE OF 110 YARDS.— The competitors who had entered to contend in this match had to run in heats, and, after a well- con- tested struggle from end to end, Sergeant Spicer, who gave ample proof that he was a more " spicy'' runner than those who had stood forth to oppose him, went by the goal a fine winner by a yard, Sergeant Marks, who had run remarkably well, finishing a fine second, there being three other competitors whom it is not requi site to name. Time 15sec.— In the second heat Mr Raphael, after a fine race with Mr Kirby, went in a rattling winner by a bare yard. Mr Nich ® lls and Mr Smith, who were competitors, like- wise ran well, not being beaten off by the two leading men until near the finish.— The final heat had to be contested by Sergeant Spicer, Sergeant Marks, Mr Raphael, and Mr Kirby, the two competitors who succeeded in running second in the preliminary heats being allowed, according to conditions, to run off with the winners in the final. When the muster- roll was called only three of the four showed at the scratch, Mr Kirby not putting in an ap- pearance. On the start being made the competitors got off in capital style, and, after an admirably- contested race, Sergeant Spicer went by the goal a rattling winner, Mr Raphael second. A RACE OF 150 YARDS.— There had been two entries for this, viz, Mr Ainsworth and Mr Thompson, but, as the last- named com- petitor did not appear at the scratch, Mr Ainsworth walked over. HURDLE RACE OF 110 YARDS — This brought to the post four competitors, and after a well- contested match, the jumps being taken in good style, Ensign Bowman landed a tine winner, Mr Raphael finishing a rattling second, neither of the two others who started having the least chance against the leading men. A MILE WALK IN HEAVY MARCHING ORDER.— There were five competitors who started for this match, viz, Mr Finlayson, Dr Gowland, Mr Smith, Mr Pope, and Mr Eglese. The event, after a well- contested struggle, terminated in the victory of Mr Finlayson, who accomplished the mile in 11 minutes 30 seconds. The next best performer was Dr Gowland, who walked in the most plucky and persevering manner throughout, the only fault to be found with his performance being that in the spurts he made to keep up with the leading man he would occasionally break the rules of fair heel- and- toe walking. Mr Page, Mr Smith, and Mr Eglese were nowhere. ONE HUNDRED YARDS ( BLIND HOOKEY RACE).— This affair was productive of great fun, and caused much hearty laughter among the spectators. The match terminated in the success of Mr Canderhtad, Mr Kirby being a good second, and Mr Ward finishing third. These were the only three out of the nine com- petitors who started that passed the goal, the other six being thrown out and dispersed over the ground in a most extraordinary manner, so that from the start- they had not the remotest chance, and indeed proved but very indifferent hands at running a race under difficulties. CAVALRY PRACTICE.— The first that came together were Gun- ner Kirby ( Horse Artillery) and Private Coleman ( Light Cavalry). They had a fine bout with the sticks, and managed their horses in a manner that gained the admiration of all. Mr Kirby, on the whole, had the best of the play, and at the finish they were hailed from all parts of the ground with deafening applause. BAYONET V SABRE.— In this bout we had M Fontaine on foot with the bayonet and Sergeant Dean mounted with the sabre. Both used their weapons with the utmost skill and address, and the bout between them, for the fine masterly practice displayed, was full of interest, and when they retired, both were heartily applauded by the company. SABRE PRACTICE.— Gunners Kirby and Price now came forth to exhibit their skill in handling the sabre, and had a fine manly bout, the practice on the part of both being first- rate. GUN DISMOUNTING.— The conditions were to dismount a gun, limber, and fire three rounds against time. Those who were en- gaged in this affair were Sergeants Nelson and Davis, Corporals Waterlow, Potter, and Allen, with Gunners Alcocks, Hay, Park, Wilkins, and Mears. The execution of this feat produced much interest, and to be brief, it will suffice to state they succeeded in accomplishing the task in an efficient and soldierlike fashion in lmin 57sec. POLE JUMPING.— The competitors were Messrs Thompson and Coleman, and after some pretty practice in this manly sport, Mr Thompson proved the winner, clearing 8ft 6in. In addition to the above there was an excellent display of fencing with sticks, foils, and sabres; boxing, & c; but, without going into minute particulars, it will suffice to say that all the bouts were of a most spirited description, and redounded to the credit of the competitors, who from time to time were much applauded, and thus terminated the proceedings. THE CATTLE TRADE.— The Great Eastern Railway steam- packet cattle service, although open only a week, has been very successful, the Blenheim, paddle steamer, in one single trip alone bringing over no less than 775 head of live cattle from Rot- terdam to Harwich. TWICKENHAM ROWING CLUB. The rowing season having been brought to a conclusion, the members of this club engaged on Saturday afternoon, Oct 10, in the following athletic sports, in a large fieid placed at their dis- posal near the railway station, and were feonoured by the company of numerous ladies and gentlemen.— Half Mile Race: W.

Before the company separated three cheers were given for Mr Ronald Bridgett, to whom the success of the meeting was very largely due. PEDESTRIANISM AT BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICTS. ASTON CROSS GROUNDS.— On Monday, Oct 12, these grounds were well attended to witness a 220 yards spin between Sergeant Faulk and Private Webster of the Scotch Greys, now quartered in Birmingham, for £ 5 a side. Conspicuous amongst the visitors were several officers of the regiment. Both men appeared to be in fair condition ; there seemed to be but little speculation on the event, although 27 to 20 was oil ere d on Faulk, to which there was no response. Mr Parkinson was the appointed referee, and soon after four o'clock they got to the mark, Faulk being attended by T. Brawn, and Webster by a friend. At the report of a pistol they fot away, Webster with the best of the start, at a good pace, aulk keeping close in his wake for some distance, when Web- ster spurted forward, and gradually increased the distance be- tween them, going in a winner by about four yards. W. JONES OF LONDON AND T. BROWN OF BIRMINGHAM.— These well- known pedestrians have made their money, £ 10 a side, good to the stakeholder and referee, Mr Tailby, for their half mile match ( Jones having a start of five yards) round the above grounds, which takes place to- day, the men to be on the ground at three o'clock; the referee to appoint a party to fire the pistol, at the report of which the men are to start. A well- contested race is anticipated. W. Fox ALL AND G. ROOM.— These men continue to make good their weekly deposit to the final stakeholder, T. Clulee, for their 200 yards match, for £ 5 a side, round the above grounds, on Mon- day, Oct 26. A further deposit for the same of £ 1 a side is to be made this evening, at Pagett's, Bird in Hand, Sand Pits. T. NEWBOLD AND F.

A further deposit of £ 2 a side must be made on Monday, Oct 19, to Mr Coates, who is final stakeholder and referee for the same. D. TAYLOR AND W. WAITHMAN OF COVENTRY.— The above well- known pedestrians met according to articles on Monday, Oct 12, near the Bull and Butcher Inn, on the Oxford road, five miles from Coventry, to run their 170 yards match, for £ 25 a side and the Championship of Warwickshire. The day was all that could be desired, and on a moderate calculation between 600 and 700 persons were present to witness the same. Both men have frequently appeared before the public in various matches. The condition of both was all that could be desired. The betting com- menced at 5 to 4 on Waithman, but veered round to 6 to 4 on Tay- lor. Mr Hollock, of the Bull's Head, Coventry, was the selected referee. After several attempts a start was got, Taylor getting fully three yards the best of it. When 120 yards had been run Taylor was still leading by two yards. At this point Waithman spurted forward in dashing style, and gained upon Taylor every stride, but not sufficient, for after a well- contested race Taylor went in a winner by a foot only. D. Taylor wishes to inform Waithman, if he is not satisfied with his defeat, he will run him again 120 yards, for £ 25 or £ 50 a side, or T. Brown of Birmingham or any other Warwickshire man can have a match on the same terms. An answer through Bell's Life immediately attended to. W. PRESTIGE OF LEAMINGTON AND J. WESTON OF ENSCOTE. — The above- named amateurs met en Monday morning on the Ban- bury road out of Warwick to run one mile, for £ 5 a side. There Wa § a large concourse of spectators to witness the same, a pedes- | trian match in the locality in which it came off being rather a novelty. Prestige, who is a Bath chairman, was the favourite; Wreston is by proiession a sawyer. Prestige's friends backed him at 6 to 4, which was taken by Weston's party. The road was first- rate for the feat. After several attempts they got away, Prestige with the best of the start, closely followed by Weston, but at the half mile Prestige spurted finely forward, gradually leaving Weston in the rear yard by yard, and finishing in good style full three score yards before Weston. A good bit of money changed hands on the event. Coleman, the veteran of Birmingham, 45 years of a^ e, will walk any man his own age from one to 10 miles, for £ 5 or £ 10 a side, or will walk Beckett, Bland, or Smalley four miles, for £ 5 a side.

With the exception of a sweepstakes at rabbits, no event has been brought to an issue at these grounds since our last. So far as pedestrianism is concerned in the above locality there is " nothing stirring but stagnation;" foot- racing handicaps appear for a time to have sunk into oblivion, and to be numbered among the tilings that were; whilst interesting matches in that descrip- tion of sport are almost as rare as a Turf " tipster" who did not predict that Lord Clifden would win the late Doncaster St Leger, and Lioness the Cesarewitch Stakes. The city of Manchester, during the last few days, has not. however, been devoid of at- tractions, albeit they were of a different character, as, on Satur- day, Oct 10, a grand review of the Lancashire volunteers took place at Heaton Park, near that city— the defenders of our " hearths and homes'' numbering upwards of 4,000 men— who were justly complimented by General M'Murdo on their effi- ciency; whilst in the present week the public have listened to readings and addresses by Lord Dundreary on the one hand, and on the other, by high dignitaries of the Church, assembled in solemn congress at the Free Trade Hall, next door to his lord- ship. As we have said, the sport at the above grounds has been confined to one event, and this came off on MONDAY, OCT 12.— RABBIT SWEEPSTAKES.— Mr Hayes hav- ing announced his intention to give £ 3 to be contended in a sweep- stakes at rabbits, there was a fair attendance of spectators to wit- ness the result.

DEAR BELL : Now that the cricket season is over it may not be out of place to offer a few remarks concerning the duties of the captain of a school eleven, with a view to their being better un- derstood and more perfectly discharged during future campaigns. In too many instances a captain enters upon his office, or per- haps has it thrust upon him, without anything like a due appre- ciation of the duties he should perform, and sometimes in utter ignerance of them altogether. His qualifications for the honoured post may have been all sufficient in the estimation of his school- fellows, for they judge only from actual play and general popu- larity. This very popularity is but too often the cause of his utter inefficiency. To maintain it— and no boy likes to lose it— he is too yielding in his management of his team, and not very particular in " feeding" it with the best talent his school can produce. The responsibility of an election to the eleven is thus often allowed to fall upon the profes- sional, which earmot but place the latter in a false position, and expose him to the charge of favouritism, and sometimes even of bribery. The notion that elections are made in this way, once suffered to get afloat, must prove fatal to anything like a proper cricket spirit throughout the school. Admitting play to be a chief requisite in a captain, I am far from saying that it is the only qualification to be looked for. And even as regards play there are points to be observed. It is not in the nature of things that a good bat should fail to seize every opportunity of exhibiting his powers before spectators ; but it is not always necessary for him to go in third man, whether fatigued or not, and thereby jeopardise the success of the match ; nor to be for ever fielding in the most conspicuous pssitions, and where he is not always made the most of. But it is at the wicket that a young cricketer has the best opportunity of drawing attention to himself. It appears to be an almost universal ambition among youthful cricketers to achieve distinction as wicket- keepers. This is very laudable, and the post is a very onerous one, calling forth much ability and pluck to fill successfully. Unfortunately, many of these aspirants lor fame imagine themselves already very nearly at the top of the tree; and it is interesting to think to what perfection wicket- keeping will one day be carried, for there are several players now, of each of whom it is prophetically asserted—" That young gen- tleman will one day be the best wicket- keeper in England, sir." An inordinate anxiety to attract attention leads the wicket- keeper into the error of perpetually putting down the bails, and shouting to the umpire, " How's that?" when there is not the least show of reason for such a proceeding, an error which not only damages his reputation as a good judge of the game, but also causes him to make a ludicrous exhibition of him- self into the bargain. But it is in matters pecuniary that the captain chiefly lays himself open to blame. He ought to know, and, knowing, appreciate, how dearly the reputation of the First Eleven is generally held, and how cheerfully and liberally a response is made whenever a " hat" is wanted, whether for foreign match dinners, new materials, or what not. It should surely be his duty, both for his own sake, and in common courtesy to his schoolfellows, to see well to the application of the fund, and give an account of the surplus, if any. More especially should he see to the application and collection of the fund for the extra professional for an important match, for this more nearly con- cerns him, and he himself is the principal gainer by having the extra tuition. Yet here again the professional has too often to become collector, cashier, and paymaster, all at once, a po- sition giving him a weight and authority not a professional's due, and which he, to do him justice, is very far from seeking, and not seldom regrets holding, leaving liim often, as he metaphorically but forcibly observes, completely " up a tree.'' Let the captain remember that it is incumbent upon him not only to be, but to discharge the duties of captain. The last, but very far from the least, nay, one of the most important of these is the necessity, the absolute necessity, of keeping his " Bell" duly posted up in the doings of his Eleven. Who shall estimate the eagerness and avidity with which accounts at the performances of the Eleven of the old school are devoured by many a good fellow far away. If it be irksome and a tax to write a short account and copy the score, let the consolation be that hundreds will read it with delight, and all difficulty will vanish. X. THE CIVIL SERVICE CKICXET CLUB. Although a few enthusiastic members still resort daily to Bat- tersea, the Civil Service have virtually closed this their first season, and the results will be looked upon with interest by those who have taken so active a part in forming and supporting the club. It will be remembered that early in the present year the First Commissioner of Works responded to the petition of a large number of gentlemen holding appointments in the various public offices by granting them the exclusive use of a certain por- tion of Battersea Park as a cricket ground. At first the public, who had been in the habit of playing cricket at will in the park, misunderstood the nature of this privilege, and reports so vague and alarming were circulated, that the ever- watchful Mr Cox, of Finsbury, was induced from his seat in the House of Commons to ask Mr Cowper whether he really had given over Battersea Park to one club? Mr Cowper's reply, though satisfactory to the house and to Mr Cox, did not appease the minds of a few individuals who considered themselves especi- ally aggrieved, ancl these failing in their endeavours to gain redress by other means, resorted to a series of petty annoyances towards the members of the new club who came down to play on the allotted ground. This conduct happily lasted but a short time. The more sensible among the discontented soon found that there was plenty of room for all in the park, that the Civil Service did not transgress the limits which Mr Cowper caused plainly to be marked out for them, and that the money which was being spent to such good purpose in improving the ground was sub- scribed by members of the club, and did not come from the Office of Work's. Moreover, it was known that nowhere else could the ciril servants, who had already joined the club in large numbers, find in or near London a piece of ground at all suited to their requirements. Good feeling soon prevailed, and before the middle of the season the strangers and the old inhabitants were established, if not on terms of close alliance, at least as peaceful and well- eonducted neighbours. How much the Civil Service themselves appreciate the privileges granted to them by Mr Cowper may be judged from the fact that, in spite of the uncertainties and difficulties with which it has had to contend, the club already numbers 237 members. Of these 181 are " playing" members, while the remaining 56, whose play- ing time is over, have subscribed as " honorary'' ones. Among the latter are the names of several of the heads and secretaries of the various departments of the service, who acknowledge, by their support of the club, that the members make none the worse public servants for being good cricketers. None but bond fide Civil Servants are admitted into the club, though nearly every public office has its representative among the members. The Admiralty contributes the largest share, no less than fifty- seven of the total number being from that office, But besides the Ad- miralty, twenty- seven distinct public offices are represented in the list. Dtirsng the season in which cricket is allowed in the park, viz, from the lst of May to the 30th September, the ground has been always open for practice, and a large numberof members have availed themselves of the opportuuity daily. The club have played twenty- five matches under the name of the Civil Service, while several others have been played on the club ground between members of different offices. Of the whole number of matches the Civil Service have won ( on the first innings, when not con- cluded in single day games) the following twelve, viz:— V Rich- mond, the Household Brigade, Marylebone, Anomalies, Charter- house. Diamonds, South Essex, St Paul's School, Wimbledon ^ played out), Vice- Regal ( Ireland) ( played out), Moor Park ( played out), and Surrey Players; and have lost the following ten, viz:— V Rickmanswortli. Free Foresters, Marlborough Col- lege, St Bartholomew's Hospital, Gentlemen of Essex, Soutbgate ( played out), Phcenix ( Ireland) ( played out), Vice- Regal Return ( played out), Hampstead ( played out), and Uxbndge ( played out); while there have been drawn, owing to the bad weather m each case, viz:— I Zingari, X. Y. Z . and Curragh Camp. Among the especial achievements of the club must bereckoned thesending over an eleven to Ireland to play a series of four two- day matches. Two of these matches were played on the Vice- Regal Ground, Phcenix Park, where his Excellency the Lord- Lieutenant enter- tained the Eleven with the greatest kindness and hospitality during the four days they continued. At the Curragh, also, the Eleven met with an equally kind reception— an entertainment from the officers of the camp. Although most of the matches at home were played on the Battersea Ground, the club has occa- sionally visited other parts of the country, and on all occasions have met with great kindness, but more especially must be acknowledged the generous hospitality of Lord Ebury on the oc- casion of their visit to Moor Park. It, is intended, with the sanc- tion of the First Commissioner of Works, to take steps at once to relay a great portion of the Battersea ground, that it may be at the beginning of the ensuing season without fault, and worthy of the matches played upon it. During the winter a football club will be established among the members. ADMIRALTY v ST PAUL'S SCHOOL. This match came to pass on this wise. Neptune one evening, while catching shrimps for tea at the bottom of the Atlantic, stumbled over the telegraph cable. Immediately a bright idea flashed across him, and he determined to shock the spirits on the other side of nowhere by telegraphing to St Paul a challenge to play him a friendly game of cricket. The message was down among the dead men in an instant. St Paul at first was quite electrified, but recovering his presence of mind, he decided to ac- cept, and asked the where the infernal Bradshaw was ; then having obtained leave of absence from Pluto, he took the Under- ground Railway to Gravesend. There he fell in with the ill- fated Orpheus, who made many inquiries after his old friends, and in- formed him in a mysterious kind of way that he could assist him in reaching Neptune's marine residence. St Paul accordingly secured a safe passage, and not long after went quickly to the bot- tom with the greater part of the crew. Neptune gave him a hearty welcome, and sent for some of his best old rum, knowing that he would be dry after so long a journey, and besides he wanted to have an opinion on his liquors from so good a j udge of spirits. St Paul did not feel at all at sea, and explained as soon as possible that taking a warm interest in cricket he had come over about the match ( Neptune's face lit up at once), but as he had given over playing himself he proposed that Neptune should bring an Eleven against the same number of his disciples. Daddy Neptune replied that he was quite willing, and that there were a lot of young fellows in his London House who would be glad of the novelty of some- thing to do. Moreover, he would have a bit of St George's Channel rolled and watered, and he and the Mermaids could look on com- fortably. St Paul objected to playing out there ; the pitch would be so bad whatever the rolling might do, and suggested instead that the Elysian fields would be far jollier. Neptune replied that there were one or two he did not care to meet in those parts, and eventually they agreed to play in London. St Paul then took his departure, having promised to see after the tents, while Neptune managed the rest of the arrangements. The match came off on Wednesday. Sept 23, and so far as it went was rather in favour of the Sea Kings. The seasons, however, were unpropitious, and Fitzroy paraded his drums. Score: ST PAUL'S SCHOOL. A. Kempe, b Ivirkpatrlck 0 E.

F.' s ( minus one, who was unable to play) took their seats for Seaton station, three miles and a half from the seat of learning, which was their destination. The score will show how the F. F.' s demeaned themselves, and added one more victory to their already brilliant list, but will not tell of the most hospitable and kind reception given them by the head and other masters, to whom the thanks of all Foresters are justly due for the honour done to the club. The weather was fine, but cold, and the ground in capital order. The School won the toss, and took the innings. Green began to hit in his usual style, but was soon secured at cover point. The slows made great havoc amongst the rest, and the innings was closed for 55 runs. The Foresters then handled the willow, and managed to put 89 on, but the School only rubbed off 53 of them, so the F. F.' s won in one innings, with 36 runs to spare. In the second innings the hat was won, and the chronicler is requested to state to the nine F. F.' s that the size re- quired is 6f, and that a new ribbon ( narrow width) would look well on it. With three hearty cheers for the masters and Uppingham School, the F. F.' s departed as they came, and thus finished their cricketing season of 186- 3. Score : UPPINGHAM SCHOOL, lst inn 2d inn C. E.

A match was played at Garendon Park on Sept 16, between two elevens, selected by Mr A. C. De Lisle and Mr E. L. Bateman, the latter's team consisting principally of members of the Sutton Bonington Club. Some slashing hitting was shown by Mr De Lisle and Mr F. Paget, and the Garendon side would have made short work of their opponents, but for the opportune stand made by Mr A. E. Bateman, who came out in his old Brighton College form, and by C. Randon, a most useful emergency, who was al- lowed to go in in place of Cross, who had quietly hooked it on finding his side getting the worst of the game. Score : GARESDON PARK. Dobell, c C.

Ground on Monday August 24, and following days, and resulted in a somewhat un" expected victory for the B and C Companies in one innings, with 13 runs to spare. For the A Company, the steady defence of Messrs Swing and Cripp, and the free hitting of Messrs Kennedy and Dodsworth, raised the hopes of their party in the first innings; but their second essay proved less fortunate, owing to the steady bowling of Messrs Turner and Wiekliam. The innings of Mr Hildebrand was very good, he being unfortunately run out when well set. Messrs Campbell, Kennaway, and Awdry ma- terially assisted their side.

ZANTE v CORFU. The small garrison of Zante, having defeated the Island of Cephalonia, had the assurance to ask eleven officers of Corfu to play them at cricket, which took place on Sept 21 at Zante. The match was decided by the first innings by 19 runs. In the second iriings the fine batting of Messrs Brown and Macdonnell gave the Corfiotes plenty of " leather hunting," and long after tliese islands have ceased to be under the protection of the cricket- play- ing nation will they remember it. The eleven, who had kindly come so far for their beating, were put in with 216 to make in their second innings, and succeeded in making 62 with the loss of four of their best wickets when time was called.
