Grena cii , e : THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 18, 18@8. THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF THE _DUKE OF EDINBURGH. SPORTING NVTES. The following despatch was received on Sunday by the Secretary of State for the Colonies : " THE EARL OF BELMORE TO THE DUKE OF BUCKING HAM AND CHANDOS. It is now an understood fact that the Marquis of Hastings is not likely to be able to " arrange" with his turf creditors, who are principally large book makers, at any rate until after the Derby has been decided. The terms of the compromise were cer tainly not tempting to those gentlemen, as I believe the proposition on that nobleman's behalf was to pay one-fourth of the amount owing at once, and a similar sum, which was to be considered a settle ment in full, at a period of three months afterwards. The principal objector, who is sail to be the largest creditor, offered to accept the amount of the compro mise proposed if settled at o ice, and as his receipt of the second instalment probably depended upon Lady Elizabeth winning the Derby, against which he may have laid tfht maiquis a lot of money, the ob jection is anything but an unreaso - ,able one. `l'll Bata Meeting, which commences to-morrow, will be watched with tht most inter ie interest, as frequently one or other of the Derby favourites re ceive their quietus at that charming spot. Spe culum is engaged in the Sideenth Biennial Stakes, but the Duke of Newcastle will sc Lreoly b in ht3cd to start him in the fa:_le of the great chancs he pos sesses rev " The Blue Riband ;" and I mast there fore pin my faith on Sr. RONAN, unless Gritnstou has recovered his bait form. As regarls the Beaufort Cup, I do not anticipale seeing more than six or seven at the post out of the twenty eight nomination; and they will probably be Achievement, Gomera, Blinkhoolie or Knight of the Garter, Goodwood, Julius, and The Earl. Achievement's style of winning the Doncaster Cup was so first rate that I think she has only Jumus to fear, but, great mare as she is, I fully anticipate seeing her defeated by this fine son of St. Albans. If both of them should be beaten, it will probably be by The Earl, who will, in my opinion, stay the two miles and a half as well as anything in the race.' There are no less than sixty-four, youngsters en gaged in The Seventeenth Biennial Stakes, of which I fancy Miss FOOTE and DE VERa in the order named. For The County Members' Plate SISTER TO VEDETTE is turned loose, an.l ought to win. The acceptances are not yet out for the Bath Handicap, but whichever Lord Westmorland runs, FORESIGHT or GANYMEDE, seem well enough in to be successful. " Government House, Sydney, March 27. " My Lord Duke,—lt is my painful duty to inform your Grace that a most determined attempt was made on Thursday, the 12th of March, to assassinate his Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh by a person named O'Farrell, who, I believe, has for some time past, and until six or seven months ago, been residing in the colony of Victoria. "2. His Royal Highness on that day honoured with his presence a public picnic, which took place at Clontarf, on the shore of what is known as Middle Harbour, in Port Jackson. " 3. This fete was given in aid of the fund of an excel lent institution called the Sailors' Home, and admission to it was by tickets costing £1 and 10s. respectively for gentlemen and ladies. About 1,500 persons were present, having been conveyed there from Sydney and the neighbourhood by water. " 4. It bad been once' postponed on account of the in clemency of the weather, and the day fixed for holding it twice altered so as not to interfere with the religious ob servances, first of the Jews and afterwards of the Roman Catholics, members of both communities being expected to attend in large numbers. " 5. His Royal Highness, attended by Lieutenant Haig, R.E., and the Hon. Eliot Yorke, and accompanied by my self, and also by Lord Newry, Commander and Mrs. RoWley Lambert, Commander Campbell, R.N., and by the members of my family and staff, arrived at Clontarf at about from ten minutes to a quarter past two p.m., in the steamer Fairy, which has been placed by its owner at the disposal of his Royal Highness during his stay here. " 6. On landing we were met by the President, Sir William Manning, Q.C., by the Chief Justice, Sir Alfred Stephen, C. 8., and by other members of the committee, and immediately proceeded to the luncheon tent. " 7. After luncheon, which lasted rather more than half an hour, Sir W. Manning proposed the health of her Majesty, which was enthusiastically received. Imme diately afterwards . his . Royal Highness quitted the luncheon tent, and, giving his arm to Lady Belmore, proceeded to another, placed at a short distance, followed by our party and by a few other ladies and gentlemen. "8. These tents were placed on a sort of flat plain of limited extent, having steep rocks as a background and the sea on its other sides. Behind the tents and to one side of them the ground WAS rough and wild, but before them there was an open level space of a few acres in extent, rather sandy in most places, but covered with short grass. Between this and the shore there is a thin fringe of gum trees. A considerable. number of per Sons were walking about in this open space, and a corroboree' by some 300 aborigines bad been arranged to come off on the ground during the afternoon. After leavin g th e groun d , w hi c h his Royal Highness proposed to d o a t an ear l y h our, he would probably have proceeded to explore the inlets further up Middle Harbour, and then have returned to Sydney. " 9. As soon as the ladies had arrived at the tent I have before alluded to his Royal Highness called Sir William Manning and walked away in conversation with him across the open space. As he had previously told me that it was his intention to band Sir W. Manning, as president of the committee, a cheque in aid of the funds of the institution, I naturally concluded that he was about to do so then— which indeed was the case. I did not, therefore, pay particular attention to the movements of his Royal High ness, but walked slowly in the same direction engaged in conversation with the Chief Justice for about sixty or eighty yards, when I believed I stopped and turned round towards the tent. Almost immediately I heard a cry from the other side of the clear space near the belt of gum trees, and on turning round saw a rush of people. I had heard no shots, and it at once occurred to me either that some game or the corroboree was about to begin. Some one near me .said, The Duke is shot,' and anotherperson, He is shot, and has fallen down dead.' Just then some one I knew—l think Sir W. Manning himself —came up to me and repeated that the Duke was shot. I had not gone many yards when I met a number of persons carrying his Royal Highness between them towards the tent. I immediately saw that he was not killed, and the expression of his face struck me at once as not being that of a person mortally wounded. I turned to precede him to the tent, and meet i ng Captain Lyons, R.N., of her Majesty's ship Charybdis, asked him to go and get the ladies out of it. Re hurried off at once, and by the time I reached it only two or three were remaining in it, strangers to me, whom I immediately ordered out, and I endeavoured to arrange some cushions to place the Duke on, which was scarcely done before his Royal High ness was brought in. " 10. The first thing I recollect the Duke saying was, Give me air.' The side of the tent was pulled up, and I took off his neckcloth and opened his shirt and under waist coat. Mr. Eliot Yorke took from him at the same time several articles of value, such as his watch, &c., which he was wearing, his Royal Highness displaying meanwhile great self-possessi on . " 11. Dr. W a t son, surgeon of her Majesty's ship 'Chal lenger, was am ong the Persons who carried his Royal Highness to the te n t , and Dr. Powell, assistant-surgeon of her Majesty's ship Ga wea, and several medical gentlemen who were among the company on the ground were almost immediately in atten e ance, one of whom, Dr. Wright, for tunately had his instrument case with him. " 12. On his Royal Highness's dress being removed, the bullet was found to have entered half an inch from the spine, between the ninth and tenth ribs, taking an oblique direction, and was found to lodge about five inches from the umbilicus, and four inche s and a quarter beneath the right nipple, having in its course traversed a distance of 124 inches. The shock W as very cons id era bl e , an d it was thought advisable not to remove the ball at the time. " 13. My aide-de- camp, Captain Beresford, started off in the Fairy to secure the attendance of Dr. Young (surgeon of her Majesty's ship Galatea) at Government House, by the time the Duke might arrive. Lady Belmore and the ladies of the parties, accompanied by Lieutenant Fitz- George, R.N., followed after a little time, a message being sent by Mr. Fitz - George to the commending.officer of the Galatea to hav e th e boats in readiness on our arrival. Lady Belmore was j us t a b le to get the needful prepara tions made in a room on the ground floor at Government House before w: arr ved. "14. We were fortunately able to avail ourselves of the services of two of the trained nurses selected by Miss Florence Nightingale for the Sydney Infirmary, and who had only arrived in the ship Dunbar Castle the week before, under the su perintendence of Miss Young. " 15. So far I have informed your Grace with some minuteness of what occurred on this occasion within my own knowlege and o b servation. A very full and, on the whole, correct ac count of the outrage i tself, an d of the subsequent arrest of th e prisoner was pu b l i shed the next (Friday) morning in th e Sydney Morning Herald news paper, which I hav e a b stracted, with some tr i fl i ng correc tions and amplificati ons with red ink in the marg i n. " 16. From this your Grace will learn that O'Farrell came behind his Royal Highness (who, in common with several other naval o ffi cers, wore a un if orm f roc k coa t and white trousers) whil e wa lki ng w ith Si r Willi am Manning, and deliberately shot him in the back with ' a revolver, being at a di s t ance from hi m at the time of from four to six feet. He then covered with his pistol Sir William Manning, who had turned round towards him, but providentially this barrel missed fire. O'Farrell has since stated that this second shot was also intended for the Duke. He raised the pistol a third time, intending, he Jumped up on hi s b ack and j for ced his ult was that th e b all struck a gentle says, to shoot himself. At this m omen t M r. Vial, coach hbaunildde(rinilny n t . his aiieres city, man (Mr. Thorne) who was running towards his Royal Highness, passing through his trousers, the elastic of his boot, and his seek, and entering the foot a little in front of and below the inner ankle, passing in a direction downwards and outwards deep into the arch of the foot, and lodging in the heel bone, near its articulation with the cubord bone. The ball was firmly embedded in the bone. It was extracted on Saturday, the 14th, and Mr. Thorne is going on well. " 17. O'Farrell was then seized by several persons and taken into custody by Mr. Superintendent Orridge. A determined effort was made basthe bystanders to ' lynch' him, and I am afraid that but for the exertions of the Chief Justice, Lord Newry and the men composing the band of her Alajesty's 50th Itegiment, he would probably not have left the ground alive, as the police would have been overpowered. " 18. He was got on board a steamer (which was close at hand) in about ten minutes, and a disposition being shown by the people.on shore to again try and get posses sion of him, orders were given for the steamer to proceed at once to Sydney. " 19. I enclose an extract from the Empire newspaper. which describes what tookylace in some detail. "20. On arriving at Sydney the prisOner was conveyed to the Government gaol at Darlinghurst and was brought up on Frid a y morn i n g, the 13th of Mar di, for examination in the Debtors' Prison before the acting Water Police Magistrate. The examination was continued on Monday, the 16th, and at its close he was committed for trial at Derliughurst on the 26th inst., that day having been fixed by a rule of court on the application, I believe, of the Attorney-G oral. " 21. I enclose a copy of the evidence taken at the inquiry before the magistrate. " 22. On Saturday morning, the 14th inst., the shock hating disappeared, the bullet was extracted with facility from his Royal Highness by Dr. Young, surgeon of her Majesty's ship Galatea, anc'tDr. Watson, surgeon of her Majesty's ship Challenger. Since that tim e no unfavourable symptoms have occurred, and his Royal Higimess con tinues to progress as favourably . as could be wi s h e d. There are no symptoms of any in jury to the lungs. " 23. I have only to add that the prisoner was arraigned yesterday before the Supreme Court. He pleaded Not Guilty. On the application of counsel for the defence,. the trial was postponed until Monday next, to enable them to endeavour to procure further evidence with regard to the prisoner's antecedents. Although the prisoner has avowed himself to be a Fenian, his family have under taken his defence on the ground of insanity. - " I have, ke., " DELMORE. !` His Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chapdos," Tne Somersetahire Stakes, run on Wednesday, has only sixteen acceptances. Last Monday, when none of the prophets even mentioned Ploughboy as a starter for the Great Northern Handicap, from a reference to 71w Sun of that date it will be found that I stated that if an outsider won it would be Ploughboy. It gave me great satisfaction to see him beat the two bolstered up favourites 13:auty and Blinkboolie, and runk into a place. On this occasion I shall plump for _ _ PLOUGHBOY, although I should by no means ignore the chance of GOMERA. The names having most attrac tion for me of those animals engaged in the Weston Stakes are HILDA, BADSWOIITII, and DE VERE, and I fancy their chance in rotation. Bad as he is I shall expect to see CORK JACKET win the Welter Stakes. The Badminton Stakes will go to LIDDINGTON if he starts, who is a race horse over short distances of ground. I think DEMONSTRATION will win the llyrham Park Handi cap, and if beat it will mostlikely be by DEFIANCE. One of the most agreeable day's sport of the week will be at Wye on Wednesday, where I can only advise speculators to. back MINUTE GUN for both the Wye Handicap and The Olanteigh Tower Handicap Plate. _ . _ _ A capital programme has also been issued for a day's racing at Croydon, but none of the stakes are complete for analysis. The week's amusement will be concluded at Har penden on Friday, and as the acceptances for the principal handicap are not made until to-morrow, I can only say that COURT CARD is as well in as anything. I think the issue of the Two Year Old Stakes lays between La3trooN and LELIA. The other races I think it best to say nothing about. A FRt THE MARQ UISOF HASTINGS AN!) THE TURF. (From the Sportsfritm.) • It is a thankless task to rake up the muddy water.; of turf scandal, but when they threaten the stability of the institution itself, every one who would see it preserved should gird up his loins for the work. It is, we are assured by the adage of popular wisdom, impossible to touch pitch without being defiled ; but the cleanest of hands should not at times shrink from the risk of contamination. These observations, introductory of some few comments on a flagrant scandal which at present forms the chief tcpic of conversation in turf circles, and which more deserves the strictures it arouses than anything of the kind in the modern history of our national sport, aro in no degree in tensed as an apology, for I consider it a duty to assume for the moment a Curtian part, and speak out boldly in the interest of justice, decency, and fair dealing. After these remarks, it is almost unnecessary to add that the esclandre referred to is that in reference to the position, in regard to the turf, of the Marquis of Hast ings, whose non-settlement or non-arrangement of his last year's racing accounts has excited an unprece dented amount of consternation and ill-feeling, not only among his creditors, but throughout the sporting world. When the argument of the whole story is, that his lordship owes large sums of money to men from whom it is possible he may, through his agents, in a few days demand a fortune; that they will have to pay him, while he distinctly refuses to pay them; that, in a word, the greatest defaulter on the turf is at the same time the owner of the first favourite for the coming Derby, your readers will be somewhat prepared for the miserable de tails I must lay before them. In the "Sporting Gazette of last Wednesday I find the following sweet paragraph, a work of art, executed with all the skill that beneficent nature and long practice furnish to the aristocratic toady : THE MAI:GUIS OF HASTINGS'S ACCOUNTs.—The gentle man who has hi herto exerted himself towards effecting a settlement of the Marquis of Hastings's accounts, " re tired from the contest" yesterday, on finding so many im pediments thrown in his way. In the ordinary affairs of life, as conducted by straightfor ward, honourable, and business men, the only recognised mode of settling an account is to pay it. Strange as it may seem to the soi-disant pious, who regard sport as the broad road with the undesirable terminus, there are on the turf straightforward, honourable, and business men, who take precisely the same view of their own and other people's liabilities. There are, undoubtedly, others who delude the unwary into entrusting them with money, with which they subsequently run off ; but, as a rule, they are not marquises, they are looked upon by ;sporting mon as scoundrels, and they are known under the generic title of " welshers." It is all very well for our friend Jeamo3 to give " the gentleman" credit for " exertion," and to attri bute the non-payment of his lordship's debt's to " impedi ments thrown in his way." The writer evidently knows on which side his own bread is buttered, and undoubtedly deserves all credit for an ingenious made of stating the case, which serves his own interests, by at once " smoothing down" the Marquis of Hastings, in leading the world to suppose ho has been hardly dealt with, and, by implication, throwing the onus of the unfortunate " situation" on the shoulders of the very men on whom it entails the greatest hardship. In the face of a representation so plausible but so misleading, I feel it my duty, knowing the whole facts of the case, to lay a " plain, unvarnished tale" before the sporting world. During the early part of the present year, after much diplunaacy on both sides, and a vast amount of smooth wards an I broken vows on that of his lordship's Advisers, a definite proposal was at length made during the Newmarket First Spring Meeting to the more prominent creditors. It was to the effect that a sum of £lO,OOO should be immediately forthcoming, and that at the same time a guarantee should' be given that a simi- lar sum should be furnished in six months. It was esti mated that the total amount, £20,000, would be sufficient, after clearing off some of the smaller claimants, to allow of the payment, to those of larger interests,.of a dividend of something like 7s. in the pound. That these are the true facts of the case I am in a position to assert fearlessly, as some of the principal creditors—representing among them more than half of tho whole liabilities of the Mar quis—did me the honour to consult me as to what was best to bo done in the matter. I suggested that they should demand a .guarantee for the settlement in full of their claims, in the event 'of Lady Eliza beth winning the Derby; but at the :::arne time strongly advised that in any case they should accept the . terms offered as described above. My proposals, meeting with ftivonr, they were adopted as a line of acacia ; and it was confidently hoped that at length a most annoying and harassieg dispute would be brought to a happy tertnina- tion. What was the reluit ? That the programme chalked out by his lordship's advisers during the First Spring Meeting was wholly abandoned, and that on Mon day last the creditors were offered a new arrangement, to the effect that they should be paid £lO,OOO, but without any guarantee that a like sum would be. forthcoming in six months. The creditors were in fact offered what would positively amount to a present payment of about 3s. or 33. 61. in the pound, and were left to imply that they might at once " abandon hops " of the balance. Is it a matter of wonder that some of the principal claimants, feeling that they • have been dallied with and humbugged beyond endurance, have now indignantly de - terminod to reject all such proposals, and leave their nal() debtor to be dealt with by public opinion and by his own conscience, if he has not long ago got rid of such a troublesome article? From first to last the affair has been most discreditable and disgraceful, and connected, as it is, with a member of the Jockey Club, must bi ex cessively annoying to the members of that august body. It is idle for the legislators of the turf to urge that they take no cognisance of betting, and therefore must occupy the position of mere spectators in any dispute of which it may be the foundation. They can never get over the fact that a notorious defaulter takes part in their deliberations, on a footing of equality with themselves ; they can never forget that they are Men of high social standing, of unim peached honour, and of unbounded influence over tot only the business, but the morality of the turf ; and in view of such dignity, character, and power—in view of the slur that is cast up in them by the assiciation with a man in the position df the Marquis f Hastings it bellows them —and I for one earnestly imp!ore them—to save from fur- - titer disgra,ee the sport whose destinies aro in their hands by the immediate adopt ion of such stepsas will prevent the repetition of so fl 'grant a scandal and cause of reproach. It is well known that front the p-ctilia , framing of the laws in regard to defaulters at Giod woo York, and Ascot, such a at .to of things as I have describe I is utterly impos sibk as any credit wean prevent his delator's horses running so long as ho fails to absolve himself from his default. Is it not a grievance that at Newmarket, Epsom, Doncaster, and all other meetings but those I have named, this very stringent but necessary law does not obtain, and that any man, even though stooped to the lips in debt, may run his horses and make money on them if he can, all the while snapping his fingers at the creditors whose just claims he refuses to recognise? As the case now stands, a member of the Jockey Club, a buly whose power-in such matters is unlimited, is at once the greatest defaulter of the turf, and the owner of the first favourite for the Derby. It is known—in fact, it is not denied—that he has backed his mare to win him an enormous sum at long odds ; and it is certain that by merely guaranteeing the liabilities of the commissioners who in this case acted in his behalf, he actually stands to win a fortune from the very men to whom he is at the same time so deeply indebted. In fact, should Lady Elizabeth win the _,Derby—and the present market odds aro only 3 to 1 against such a contingency— the bookmakers will have to pay to his lordship's agents the money they have betted against the mare ; though they know that every farthing of the money so ob tained from them will pass direct into their debtor's pocket, they have, under the present laws affecting racing and bet ting, absolutely no power to deduct either what is due to them on past accounts, or even reimburse themselves for tho bets made by the Marquis on this very race—some of them so long ago that they are now possibly so much lost money. Is it not high time that tho laws which sanc tion so monstrous an injustice should be swept into the dusthole of all effete, oppressive. and absurd legislation ? Is it not high time that the Jockey Club who alone can institute a reform, sweeping indeed but indispensable to the welfare of the turf, should bestir themselves to prevent a repetition of the gross scandal which has drawn attention once more to the subject ? And is it not high time that all honourable men should join in a respectful but earnest ap peal that they who hold the reins of the sport, should no longer be indifferent to the ruinous course which it is pursuing ? If I might venture to make a suggestion to Lord Flast ings; or his advisers—on the supposition, of course, that they entertain a real intention to at least attempt the clear ing off of his liabilities—l think there would be no diffi culty in devising a plan which would at once accomplish their object without entailing much real cost. It is well known, as I have before said, that his lordship stands to win an enormous stake on Lady Elizabeth at long odds. If he desires a relief by honourable means from his em barrassment, he has only to send into the market a commis sion to hedge his mony, which could now be done on such highly favourable terms as to realise a sum, which added to the £lB,OOO he and his friends pretend they are willing to produce, would at once very nearly clear off the whole of his liabilities. By this means he would be able to pay the bookmakers from the profits he could even now realise upon the transactions he has at present outstanding with them. I am quite aware, that should a large sum of hedging-money be suddenly thrown into the market, it might possibly affect the favourite's position in the quota tions, but even this difficulty might readily be got over, for I fully believe not one of his lordship's creditors, if good names were given, would refuse to take the present market odds about the mare to sums proportionate to the amounts owing to them. Providing these bets were to be taken in part of their demands, they would, I am quite sure, take their chance of finding an opportunity of retail ing them. In this view of the case, supposing that the Marquis owes a little over .£O,OOO, in set-off against this ho is the present holder of bets upon which, were he so disposed, he could easily realise a ready profit of upwards of £21,000 of the amount. I throw out this suggestion, confident that it would prove an easy means of rescuing the Marquis of Hastings from a position, disgraceful to himself and his ancient name, embarrassing to his friends and discreditable to the ord:r to which he bilougs, and of, at the scone time, ding justice to a class of men by whom he has never suffered ally p .cuniary less, who have nev,r dealt unfairly by him, mud who suffer in mind and pocket from his ungeutlem ally and trtjust treat ment of them. Let it bo noted that it is capable of proof that his lordship has not lo.t m mey on the turf ; that, as a matter of fact, ho has absolutely won from most of th) bioltinalc7rs ; t'iat three of his heaviest creditors havo assured me they have on the ba lauce paid hint largo sums of mAney, and that on , ) gmtle rnan who paid him last year £21,009 is now out of pocket by his transactions with him to the extent of no less than £l,OOO, and cannot even g.3t an offer of settlement. Let it be remembered also that this defaulter has from the corn- mencemcnt trifled with, laughed at, and now defies his creditors, that he owes them thousands of pounds which they have little hope of ever recovering, and that ho has every prospect of winning an immense fortune from them which he will put into his pocket, and, probably, keep there; and tho racing world and the general public have some means of arriving at a true conclusion as to the --.----- honour of a nobleman, and the prosp2ets, under presort laws, of the national sport of England. OXFORD AQUAIICS. All the boats have made good progress during the week.. Corpus especially seemed to have improved, and will give Exeter. some hard rowing to catch them. Exeter and University have rowed the course in quickest time, their respective paces being as nearly as possible the same; and, therefore, should Exeter rise to head of the river, University will probably show in the second place. We subjoin the order of the crows in which they will start on Monday night:— 1. Br senose 7. Me r t on_ 13. Balliel 2. Corpus 18. St. Juli.,'s 14. Pembroke 3. Exeter 9. Christ Church 15. Magdalen 4.

On Thursday night the Car ► ,us crew went down to N►►neha►u by train to row the annual match with Ra lley. The course was from Nuneharu Railway Bridge to the island at Nunehatn. Corpus, in their light boat, gave the boys about half a length start, and the race, which was good throughout, was won by Radley by about two feet. LNG iNTEL ' , MENU, —This Day.
