er YACHTING IN ENGLAND, The Royal Thames Club Cutter Match. Winners of the Prizes in the First and Second Class. The Interest in the Regatta Marred by “Protests.” Loxpon, June 2, 1876 ‘The first of the three important cutter matches with ‘which the Thames yachting season is annually imaugu- rated was sailed yesterday, the Royal Thames Club, as usual, opening the ball. In the absence of His Royal Highness the Prince of Waler, the Commodore of the ‘club, who was unable to be present owing to aslight indisposition, Lord Alfred Paget, the Vice Commodore, hoisted his flag on board the Eagle steamship, which carried # goodly contingent of members and friends The weather was everything that could be desired, there being a bright sun and a good sailing broeze—a happy conbination of circumstances rarely met with ou the Thames—though, perhaps, there was scarcely sofficient wind to enable the larger craft to do full jus- tice to themselves, more particularly in the upper reaches, The entry was extremely good and included nearly all the crack cutters afloat, with the exception of the Kremhilaa, which is still in the sale list, and a special interest was imparted to the match by the fact that it was the maiden essay on the Thames of both the Neptune and the Vol au Vent. The latter made a very creditable début, and the Iona also, which has been “altered back”’ to her 1874 trim, showed a greatly improved vessel, and seemed to be more than a match’ for the Neva, while the old Fiona was as good as ever, ‘ ‘The entries were divided into two classes as under:— FIRBT CLASS—CUTTERS EXCEEDING FORTY TONS, First prize, £100; second prize, £40.

The Vanessa came to her station but did not start. ‘The course for each class was from Rosberville round the Mouse Light and back, the distance being about fifty-three nautical-miles, Tho wind was about east southeast, a nice whole sail breeze, which gave them pretty nearly a dead beatdown to the Mouse and a run back. The smaller craft were started a few minutes atter eleven A. M,, and five minutes later the larger vessels were signalled away. All set plain lower canvas and ran up gafftopsails over them, the Myosotis taking the lead of the smaller fry and standing into Sea Reach quite a furiong-abead of the rest, who were in acluster. In the first class the Neptune was smartest away from ber moorings and showed the way down Gravesend Reaeh on the starboard tack, followed by the Neva, the others having seemingly some difficulty in canting clear of each other. As they tacked into the Lower Hopo the Neva was dangerously close upon the Neptune’s" ‘weather quarter, but had to bear up in order to clear her, and the other again came out on the Neva’s weather. At the bottom of Sea Reach the Vol au Vent tlawed out to windward of the Cuckoo and took third place, and just above the Chapman Light the Neva gave the Neptune a weather bower and became the leading vessel. Off the Scar Beacon the Vol au Vent crossed the Neptune’s bows dn the port tack and im- mediately went about on her weather. The wind now freshened and raised a slight “top” of sea, which, of course, just suited Colonel Markam’s big cutter, ana she gradually forereached on the Neva at every board, though she had more than once to give way az they met on opposite tacks. At length, off the Jenkin Buoy, the Vol au Vent succeeded in getting the weather gauge, and a mile lower down the Neva was weathered in turn by the Cuckoo and Fiona, who had jously put the little Neptune under their lee. In je meanwhile the lona—which, strange to say, had been put about by the club’s steamboat—was making up her lost ground and overhauled the Ne justas the latter was standing off the Nore Sand on the starboard tack. being shoal water the Iona was unable to clear her, and a somewhat awkward collision occurred, the Nevastriking Mr. Ashbury’s cutter on the starboard quarter and carrying away her own bowsprit. The Jona was comparatively uninjured, a big hole in the foot of her mainsail being the only ‘re- sult of the mishap. The Neva was, of course, com- pletely crippled aud, having duly hoisted a protest flag her rigging, put back for Gravesend; bat the Jona, though technically in the wrong, held on her course close under tho lee of Cuckoo and Fiona. From the Nore to nearly the Mouse Light, a distance of about cight miles, worked the last drain of the ebb without further mishap, but when abouttwo miles from the exstern extremity of their course, first of the young flood began to make, and at me time it seemed to be a question whether the Commodore would not be compelled to worten the course. Fortunately, however, the wind ‘reshened and came out a point more southerly, and the yachts wero enabled to complete the prescribed distance. The stronger breeze and open water had, in the meantime, told a tale in favor of the big cutter, which gradually worked her way from the rest and was now making short miles of it down to the Mouse—the Cuckoo, Fiona and Jona being upward of a third of a mile astern of her, in close company. -By this time all the larger vessels, with the exception of ‘the Neptune, bad overhauled the emailer class, among which the Coraiie held a long lead, the Kritannia and Myosotis being next in attendance, each with a protest fing fly- ing in her reging. The Bloodhound had been well to ‘windward of the lot at the Nore Ligntship; but a little Jower down she had the bad luck to lose one of her hands overboard, and waste! something like ten min- utes in lowering a boat—a miehap which there can be 0 doubt cost her a prize. Of the East Oaze Buoy the |. Jeaders came about iu turn on the starboard tack and were timed as they weathered the Mouse Lightship as ander :— H. M. 8. 29 10 H. M.S.

Thus can- ‘vased, all bowled merrily slong for home, recling off the miles at a rare pace until close upon the top of Sea Reach, when the wind suddenly shortened upon them, and spinnakers bad to be got in all round with a will. Balloon jibs andoresails and jib topsails now became tn general requisition, but there was no change in the odor in which the yachts bad rounded the Mouse. En- tering Gravesend Reach they took the wind once more nearly abeam, but, beng so near home, there wag no farther shifting of canvas, and the yachts ultimately passed the flag boat, of Rosherville, and concluded the watch as below:— FIRST CLASS.

BECOND CLASs, Name. 8, be seer finish, there being little more than a minute between the tour; but the interest in the maten was greatly marred by a series of protests, U Myoxotis and Britannia each objecting to the other lor not observing the “rule of the road” in the beat down Bea Reach. itimately it was decided to withbold the prizes and submit the ports in dispule to the Sailing Vommittee. : YACHTING PROTESTS, [From the London Globe, Jane 2.) In the interests of yaonting it is highly desirable ‘hat matches should be satled without such frequent wrotests, The Royal Thames Club's races yesterday sere perfect in every particular but this, A nice, whole-sail breeze, a fleet comprising the tinest cutters velonging to the pleasure mavy of England, the sun- ‘ight jast sufficient to add brilliancy to the scene without too high a temperature, and #ach a near race ‘at It was impossible to tell which boat would win, until the Jast moment—this exceptional con- Juacture of iavorable sircumstances was deprived of naif its pleasure by tho jealous manper in which some of the yachts were suiled, In the first clugs, the Tova woula not give way to the Neva, with the result that the latter lost ber bowsprit when attempting to avoid a more serious collision. Of course her master atonce hoisted a protest flag, and took his crippled vessel buck to Gravesend. In the second class there was even imore of the same objectionable jealousy shown, Out of the five 40-tonners that started, no less than three hoisted protest tla, nd the prizes there- fore remain in we ee pending inquiry mto the sev- eral objections We sincerely trust the owners of racing yachts will set their faces against such prac- tices. It entirely lies with them to convine their skippers that the sharp tricks which find favor at burban race meetings are altogether out of place on the water. So long as owners practically show that they consider such jockeyism a merit, so long will captains endeavor to prove their superior sniartness by tafringing the rules of sailing. One of the regulations of the new Yacht Racing Association very properly punishes any opin guilty ef such equivocal strata- gems by disqualifying him for the retnuinder of tho season. Perhaps it would be better if the peccant yacht were also placed under ban. This might wilu- ence owners to tench their masters to keep within the limits of fair sailing. ‘Win, tie or wrangle” is not a good maxim for yachtsmen, YACHTING NOTES. Newrorr, R. 1., June 16, 1876.

Evmuina, June 16, 1876. To-day, which was to bave closed the spring meeting of the Elmira Driving Park Association, was a most ex- citing one to the thousands who assembled fo see the | final races. There wero three races in (he programme— @ trot in the 2:50 class, one in the 2:22 and a running race, The 2:22 trot and the running race were finiched, but the completion of the slow trot had to be put of until to-morrow, six exciting heats being trotted with- out a decision being reachod. ‘THE TWO-TWENTY-TWO RACE. The 2:22 race was won casily by Huntress, the favor. ite. Her contestants in the start were Bonner, Carrie and Clifton Boy, bat the latter was drawn after tho firat heat. Bonner took the second heat in 2:29. Huntress won three, in 2:27, 2:26%{ and 2:26. The Hurse was $1,000; $500to first horse, $250 to sec- ond, $150 to third and $100 to fourth, THE RUNNING RACK.

THE CALCUTTA CLUB Vs, THE MUNNIPOORIES, PLAYED AT CALCUTTA, BEFORE HIS ROXAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OF WALES, [From the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News (London) June 3) During the visit of the Prince of Wales to Calcatta every incident, however trivial, in which he took part was duly recorded in tho newspapers (and most prop- erly, too) except one event, which by some mischance was almost completely overlooked by the city’s jour- | malists, and yet it was one which His Royal Highness atany rate did not look on as the least interesting item of the programme, and by many people was regarded us the most attractive dish of the menu, trom having in ita strong spice of sport. That event was the match between the Calcutta Polo Club and the team of Munni- poories, who came down under cnarge of Dr Brown to play before the Prince, ORIGIN OF THE MATCH. The match arose in this way. When a visit from the Prince of Wales became, to the Joy of his loys Anglo-Indian subjects, a positive certuinty, it was de- sired to make up an interesting programme | for his entertamment, and it was well thought that he would hke to see a good game at polo, as the sport, which immediately on its in- troduction tato the British Isles took such a violent hold on the public fancy, was throughout honored by the patronage of royalty, Munalpoor is the home of the sport in India, Its inbabitants are recognized as the most learned exponents of the game extant; quite uuapproachable in the science, and, ergo, invincible. THE PLAY. On the afternoon of Saturday, January 1, the match took place. The fuir-skinned amateurs were clothed in white breeches and top boots and flanuel racing Jackets of tho club colors—viz., white with a broad scarlet sash crossing over the left and under the right shoulder, and, compared to their antagonists, were the personification of elegance and agility, their attire bo- ing natty in the extreme, and their ponies, on which they sat with the ease and grace peculiur to the Eu- Fopean seat, being sleck and well groomed, The dusky professionals were clothed ina costume Striking to the European oye from its originality of ae- sign, unique though hardly picturesque Their heads were muilled up in dirty puggerics; thyir bodies were covered with jackets of divers colors, all of a dingy hue, and the inevitable dhootie; and between the kuee and ankle they wore ‘things’? somewhat Tesembling cricket pads. The unusual quantity of clothing we conclude was donned in bonor of the Bela- tee Kajub, for woen they first appeared fn public they wore little except a hockey stick. THEIR PONIES were sbaggy, unkempt and ungroomed, and the saddle gear almost beyond description, The saddies were a kind o! a cross betwoen a pition and an elephant how. dah, ‘They have o framework of skin and wood which rests on the pouy’s back, and above is soit leather tor the riders. At the back 1s a sort of hollow to sit in. In front of this comesa kind of mound, goodness knows what for, and in front of this is a curved woou: work frame, like a pair ot bull’s horns, over which their reins are hitched now and again, They cling to their caddies like monkeys, their nakod feet rammed into rough iron stirrups braced up so sliort that their thighs are at right angles to their hips, Hanging from each side of the saddle are articles of the same color and material, and very inuch the same shape as carriage splash-boards. ‘The stirrups bang inside them, and the two sides of the article are curved round away from tho ponies? sides and in front of the players’ legs, the object of them being apparently :wo-fold—viz., to pro- tect the players’ legs, and to extract the speed of Ler- ror out of tne ponies, ior when they get into action the re wreysebar muake'a noise hiceous enough to frighten the most stout-hearted. ‘The pretuest part of the get- up was ‘THX PONIES’ HRADSTAL.! which were made of scarlet cloth, dotted over with white worsted bails, and the reing were of a thick plaited substance and light blue color. THe MEN were. a strong, wiry looking lot, but wore an anxious expression, arising, porhaps, from excoss of keeuncss to win, rumor saying that they get “toko"’ trom the Kajab if they do not distinguish themselves. The Cal- cutta team, in perfect contidenco of being utterly beaten, had no apxicty on this score, and commenced the game therefore in a more favorable frame of mind. TAK ORDER OF BATTLE was as follows:—Caicutta—Forwurd, Hills, Moore, Wallace; haif backs, W, L. Thomas and Fox; back, G. E, Thomas, The Munnipoortes rangod very difterently, and the order they took showed the px culmrity of ther game. They had one man back and three furward, and of the remaining two one posted bimself between the Calcatta bait backs aud the other alongside the Caicutta back. This ruther astomsbed the world m general, and the players alluded to in particular. Wherever the Vicissitudes of the game took the latter ther 1t also these attendant sprites, and would not be ken olf. It had one good effect, for it made the Calcutta backs eee their eyes open and most careful to see that their back territories were never left for an instant un- guarded, THR GAM COMMENCED, as usual, from the centre of the ground, and from the start to the close may well be described ag fust and furious, high preesure being maimtained throughout without abutement. 1t was one of the quickest and most interesting games ever wit od, and the play was ad- mirabie. 1t was expected the sides would be most unequal, and this being the impreasion there was not at we outset much enthusiasin, the only feeling in the bosoas of spectators being one of curtosity, but as the game fe into full swing, and it was seon that, instead of be- jng overpowered, the Calcutta men were fully holding their own, it gave way to excitement, which became intense when, alter a sharp struggle, the Calcutta | team scored “first blood’? by making a goal, Loud cheering then arose, und the other members of the club, who had hitherto been depressed and almost | silent on-lookers, awoke as from a trance, aud for the Test of the maten encouraged and aided their rep- resentatives by cheering advice and enthusiastic shouts, The Munmpoores who were looking on gruuted guttural dismay when the first goal was made, and looked as if they did not, altogether like tne ap- pearance of things. After a brief respite ‘THK SECOND GAME was begun, Like the ‘irst game.t was obstinately con- tested, but, unlike the previous game, the goal was secured by the Munpipoories, whose dismay in cou- sequence changed to guttural glee. One goalall, Ex- citement great as the third game began, The Munnipoories came ap smiling; the Cai- cutta men serious but determined. jong exciting struggle; but eveniually a resolut of the Calcutta teum carried the vail right up to their s’ goal, and after arhort, sharp scaffle it was smaci through the posts, and Calcutta were victors of the third goal.

The by eae who bud a herd of ponies to choose from, had a decided pull after the change of nags, which was again evident from the play, and throughout this last gamo the ball was more often at the end of the Calcutta goul than the other. | The defence, however, was stavch, and severai vig- orous sorties were made by the Calcutta men into the enemy"s country. The Munnipoories, however, would not be denied, and pressed the siege close, but the Cal- cutta team succeysfally repelled all attacks, and at last, dusk setting in, TIME WAS CALLED, and the victory was neither to the black man nor the white man ‘Thas did this memorable and exciting match end in a draw, oth sides having scored two goals.

Loxnoy, June 3, 1876. An interesting and exciting pigeon shooting contest came off to-day, On the grounds of the Gun Club, Notting Hill, between Captain Aubrey Patton, the celebrated Monaco winner, and Mr. Ira D. Paine, for £50 a side, thirty shots cach, at twenty-seven yards rise. A number of the élite of English sportsmen were present. The shooting was remarkably good, Pain quick, decisive style being very much admired, His chargos consisted of 354 drachms powder and 14% on shot Nos. 6, 7or8, while his antagonist used 314 powder and 1% of the same shot. The match wag arranged to commence at hal!-past twelve o'clock, but Captain Patton not being quite to time, a short match was gotten up between Sir, Jaffray, of America, and an English gentieman named Grimble, ten shots ench, for £10a siae, which resuited in a victory for the former, the score being as foliows:— Javynay—1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1-9.

Mr. Paine then fired a tew sight ehots, killing threo pigeons in succession in a manner that seemed rather to stagger the spectators, and bis antagonist Arriving about one o’clock the American opened the match by disposing of the first bird, frmg both barrels, and iit- ting his mark a few fect from the trap, Cuptain Pat ton then also scored one by un wt having fallen’ just withia tho boundary. ptain jokingly remarked to bis rival that he had anyhow vegun with a good stroke of luck. Paine missed his | second bird, und was thus one bebind when Patton's | second shot ing his pigeon at a long distance, the origmal state things being restored, bowe Vame's third shot taking eitect betore the bir flown a yard. Patton then missed three birds in suc. cession, and Paine’s next three shots placed bin abead by two, one dropping beyond the tence. THK CONTEST OF SKILL Both meu scewed now thoroughiy on their mettle, albeit they it about their work quietly and casiiy. The onlooker inced a keen tnterest; while the bet ting fraternity were obliged to keep a sharp lovkoa on account Of the even nature of the contest. Alter the first ten shots Paine had scored seven and Patton six, and the American's form was very much admired, nearly all his birds onan Ay a few (vet of the trap, Hie twelfth and thirteenth birds needed but one barrel each, Up to this time the Englishman had also kilied two birds with -ingle shots, but did not afterward im- prove m this respect, whereas Paine shot in all five Pigeons without bringimg te second barrel into requi- wition, When the match was TWO-THRDS OVER Patton was one bird abead, and the betting rose in ns javor, when, owt of twenty-live shots exch, Paine had only scored 17 against his versary’s 19. Paine’s iriends now began to think he had lost the match ; bat nis Charactoriatic quiet self-pusseasion did not desert tim, and he kidea four birds out of hw re- maining bbe. Captain Patton's two. The letter gentiemen had the last shot, and stood to kill and win, but unaccountubly missed the bird, although it rose from the centre trap, thas bringing about — drawn baitie.

The concluding game of the billiard tournament at Irving Hall was played last vight between Albert Gar- mier and George Slosson. The contest, although not belonging to the tournament proper, was a play-off on the tie for third place, Rudoiphe having won the first and Sexton the second prize respectively. By the re- sult of the game last night the third money goes to Garnier, who beat Slosson by fiity-nino points. ‘The game commenced at 8h. 10m., botn stringing for lead, which was won by Garuler, who led off with the white ball, On the first suet he was lucky enough to score and bring the balls tto position, and ran upa break of 10, when he got a freeze in the left hand bot- tom corner, and the balla were spotted, He failed to score further and lot Slosson in ford. In the next two {unings Garnier made but 1 and Slosson 3 Garnier on his fourth hand rolled up a pretty break of 27, and missing an easy carrom gave Slosson a set up, which he utilized for thirty by steady play, when the balis froze and hud to be spotted. He, however, suceveded im scoring, and after a couple of shots got the ivories into position at the bottom cushion and nursed them along to the left hand side cusbion, up which he travelled them until he brought thom to the top, when he carried them along that cushion and down part of the fourth cushion on the way back to the original place of starting, scarcely separating the balls until he had scored 235 points, when by a careless shot they became slightly scattered, and he had to make a succession of all-round play to get the bulls into position, which he finaily did at the centre of the top cushion, whore he held them. On scoring his 250th point he waa given a por- fect ovation, the cheering and upplause being long and continued. wover, still worked stead- ily on, and when be reached 287 points, the bighest score ever made in a three ball guine (Ly Sexton in the Philadelphia tournament), the appiause wes something deafen! ind when he added yet avother point the sume thing was repeated. Garnicr in the mean- time was exhibiting the greatest good tempered and although astonisbed at the great ran Slosxou was making, could not but admiro the pluy and siniled good. humoredly as every ten was added to his opponent's string. Slosson, however, nothing aflected by the ap- plause of the audience, played steadily on until he had rolied up a total of 311 points, THE GREATEST BRKAK EVER MADE, when he slipped up on a not very ditficult carrom, The audience by their applause prevented the game being continued, for they, literally shook the building, Gar- nier, on Slosson finishing his break, roge trom his chatr, and shaking bunds with pin, heartily congratus lated’ him on his brilliant play ‘and good fortune. As soon as quiet was restored Garnier went to the cue, and by dint of sheer good play captured 22 points and retired after wiseing a long shot. Slosson off tho leave only secured 2 points. Both players m the next inning failed to count. In the next, or the seventh, ipning Garnier scored Land Slos-on 12, This. wag fol- lowed by a brilliant exhibition of bilhards by Garnier, why played a break tor 1¢9 pointa, bringing his'fotal to 179, against bis antagomst’s 332. Slosson went Tn and put together 24 inore carroms, and missed a compara. tively easy shot, which left ‘a Idir set-up for Garnier, who scored 13 and then got a freeze, und the balls had to be spotted, He wus fortunate enough to score, and alter a couple of gathering shots gat the ivories into position and nursed und played thom for $0, bringing his game to 250, uzalust Slosgon's 358 — In the twoifth inning Garnier scored 33, which was matched Ly Slosson, tu the next two tarns Garnier scored 26 and S:oss0n 20, which was. followed vy Garnier with 111, putting him 25 points ahead of Slosson, who failed to score. Tho gaine at this point stood Gurnier 425 and Slosson 420, In the sixteenth joning Garnier only made a brace of carroms and Slos- son one. In the next, as a set-olf against oue made by the Frenchman, Slosson played a fine brewk, for 34, when the usual freeze occurred and the spheres had to be spotted. He counted on the lead off but nothing was leit, and he missed turther counting. Gar- nier algo fuiled to add to his string, bat lett hi nent ap opent! who utilized it for 9, one of the in the break being « long draw of over tour feet, wiich brought down the house, The minewenth inning ree gulted In 88 points bemg udded by Garnier to his total und 20 by Slosson, Ia the twenty-third) inu- ing Garnicr by good all-round play sored . 28, but let Slokson in after missing an easy giroke. | The latter exhibited some tine play aud put ¥9 to his total, which was brought up to 425 against Garnier's 504, The Frenchman, however, had the balls left in posi- tion, which he made good use of by running 83 nites, Jouving bim only 13 to go to win the game, Slosson tailed | to secure more than 1. In the twenty-fith inuing | Garmer ran 12 and gave Siosson a set up once more, but he only secured two points from it. Garnier nad a'long follow shot loft, but tuiled to count, He, how- ever, did not give bis antagonist much of a break; but he, by good all round play, got the balis together alter two or three all round slots and scored 13, Garnier then ran out, The following is THR SCORE:— Garnier—10, 1, 0, 27, 22, 0, 1, 109, 80, 2 111, 2 1, 0, 38, 0 O 10986, 1270, hi Bo 8h HS, 11, 2. 0, 1: 6, 32, 0,38, 24 2, 6 8, 89,18, 3,0 CHARLESTON AND THE OLD GUARD, Tho following answer bas been sent by the Old Guard of New York to the juvitation given them by the citi- zens of Charleston to participate in the commemora- tion of the one hundreth anniversary of the battio of Fort Sullivan, To Witttam Aiken, George W.

First Annual Meeting of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association in Saratoga. ° ALarge Number of Entries Expected—Rise and Growth of College Athletics. THE NEW TRACK AT SARATOGA, Campurer, Mase., June 14, 1876. On the day foliowing the University boat race at Saratoga the Oret annual meeting of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association will be held, From the number of colleges already belonging to the assoctaiion, and tho rapid advances which have marked the various branches of athletics during the past year, it is reagon- able to expect that the Saratoga mecting will call ont a far larger field of entries and be marked by more brilliant records than any other meeting of the kind which bas ever been held in America, TRS COLLEGRS auswered the call of the presiden's of the Yalo and Harvard associations last fall, and since the first meet ing of delogates at Springticld four others have becn added to the list, and there is every probability that the number will be greatly increased before the end ot another year, It is much easier for a college to belong to the Athletic Association than to the Rowmg Ass:- ciation, The expenses are far lesa, and the question is ouo of iudiviaual representation, and the events at cach meeting are many in number and varied in character, it is a comparatively easy matter for a college, to find men ready apd able to take part in the contests, The RISK AXD GROWTH OF COLLEGE ATHLETICS has boon rapid ever since it was given a start by the ine auguration of an annual intercolicgiate foot race by the gitt of acup tor a two-mile event im 1873. Mr. J. G. Bennett, the donor of this prize—to which was given the name of the “Bennett Cap'’—in the following year presented a set of prizes to the Saratoga Association, to be contested for by undergraduates, and the racea which took place for these cups aud medals muy be Jooked upon us the inauguration of a sores of college uthictic meetings. TUK NEW TRACK. The Saratoga committee have nearly completed a truck to ve used in the races at this July meeting. It ig modelicd on one of the fastess tracks for podcstrians jn the world—that of the Cambridge University Athivtio Club, In lepgih it wilt bea little over one-fifth of a mile, and will be laid in the following manner:—Two of the sides 110 yards long a:d two 84 yarus jong, with very gradual curves, The ashes, which have not yet Deen laid, will be pat on so ag to raise the track slightly in tho centre, with an imperceptible slopo toward the polo, 69 that tho washing of rain may be avoided, Ii tho oentre of the oval will run a carefully properea turf “crouse”? ior tho use of the burdiers, his creise will be 120 yards long and 50 feet wido, with ten hardies, at a distance of ten yaria apart, and a take-off of fiiteen yards at each end, Good hurdie time has never been made in this country, owing to the poorness of the urdivs used, sh's year a gvod deal of care will be given to their construction,” and the ground will be put into the best possibiec condition, in order to make the take-off’ us springy as possible, The whole teld will be cuclosed, and a grand stand, with droasog Tooms underneath tt, will be erected on a bit of risin ground overlook ng the whole course, while at one en ‘ol the track and inside the oval it is proposed to put a tent, decorated with the colors of the diferent colleges, for the ase of the competitors. Judging trom the prep- erations which are going on it 1s probavle that the Neild will present a very picturesque sight, with its greensward, neat turf, well ushed track and trimly arranged hurdies, sct off by the white canvas and Dright bunting at one cud and opposed by the dark green pives wuich cluster thickly in the adjoining low LST OF THE EVENTS, ‘Thy following 1s a list of the different events to come off in the morntng and alternoon seasious:— 1.
