THE CAMP AT WIMBLEDON.

All round, Friday pr3'ved a very fair day for the
showing men, and a large number of onlookers as-
semb'el in rear of the firing points to watch the con-
tr4t, fur the St. George's, the Prince of Wale's, the
Daily Telelraph, and the Windmill prizes, which were
the chief ir.erns in the day's programme. Early in the
morning Private J. J. Marr, of the Ist Cheshire, made
a full score for the St. George's Challenge Vase. Only
seven rounds are fired for its possession, the range
being 500 yards. The other competitors were not so
successful, and so the Cheshire man won the Vase for
his regiment; and for himself the Dragon Cup, Gold
Jewel, and £3O. Corporal Soutar, the winner of the
Queen's Bronze Medal, won the Tyro Aggregate.
There was not a great assemblage on Saturday,
owing to the unpropitious weather. The principal
competitions of the day included the conclusion of the
swcond stage of the Queen's, the termination of the
conte4 for the Prince of Wales's Prize of .£lOO at
600 yards, the China Cup, and the Belgian Challenge
Vase for Volley firing. During the evening, after
gunfire, there were one or two garden parties in the
regimental camps, and the Victoria Rides gave an
assault of arm 3 and various mili'iary athletic sports.

On Monday the United Hospitals' Cup was won by
St. Thomas's, and the Muliens Prize by the Ist V. B.
Berks. The opening range of the Corporation of
London Prize for Colonial and Indian Volunteers and
the first stage of the Albert were also fired.
The Queen's Prize at Wimbledon was won on
Tuesday afternoon by Private Jackson, of the Ist
Volunteer Battalion of the Lincoln Regiment, after a
brial of skill such as no other competitor has yet been
subjected to. For the first time in the history of the
Association there was a tie of three men, which,
according to the rules, had to be decided by firing
three shots at NO yards. The final competi-
tors were Private Jackson, of the Ist Lincolnshire,
Colour-Sergeant Barret, of Lancashire. and Corporal
Richardson, of Cambridge University. The conditions
were that the aggregate score of three shots
should decide the winner—and a very short contest,
by no means in accord with the close struggle which
had preceded it, declared Private Jackson the winner.
This year's Queen's Prize, owing to the alteration that
has been made in the conditions, does not bear com-
parison with any other; but the general analysis of
the shooting proves it to be higher in point of merit
than it has ever been before. It is noteworthy that
the only previous occasion on which a tie was
fired off for the Queen's Prize was in 1874, when
Private Atkinson, Ist Durham, beat Private Rao, of
Stirling, who afterwards became the Gold Medallist
ia la7B.

THROWING CORROSIVE FLUID.

At Southwark Police-court on Saturday William
Joraan, tobacconist, 98 and 420, Strand, and 262,
Westminster-bridge-road, was charged with causing
grievous bodily harm to Charles Grintersheini, by
throwing over him a bottle of corrosive fluid, at 262,
Westminster-bridge-road. Prisoner appeared in the
dock without a coat, and had a surgical bandage round
his head. Prosecutor, whose head and face, with the
exception of his left eye, were rendered completely
invisible by surgical wrappings, stated that he was
manager of a tobacco shop belonging to the prisoner
in Westminster-bridge-road. Shortly before ten
o'clock on Friday morning, witness was in the shop
when prisoner came in, and said, "What is the blind
down for?" Witness replied, "The sun has been out
this morning, but I'll pull it up if you wish it." He
then proceeded to wind up the blind, and while doing
so Mr. Jordan came behind him, and threw some
fluid over his head and face, without saying a word.
He felt his face burning, and ran out of the shop. A
man gave him an handkerchief, with which he wiped
his face, and a policeman came up and advised him
to go off to the hospital, which he did. On
cross-examination by the prisoner, the witness
denied that he had first thrown the bottle.
He admitted that there had been a pre-
vious quarrel, and that he had given the prisoner
notice. Prisoner had charged him with robbing him
and taking his goods to a friend, who opened a shoo
opposite. He had apologised for that, but there had
been another quarrel between his wife and a woman
the prisoner lived with. His wife told the prisoner
that if "the lady" did not come and apologise she
would take proceedings, upon which Mr. Jordan said,
"If you touch her I'll blind you with acid." He had
also threatened witness. The prosecutor's evidence
was corroborated by an independent witness, who
was standing outside the shop, and who saw what
happened. In answer to the prisoner, he denied that
prosecutor had first thrown the bottle. On feeling
the corrosive fluid running down his face, prosecutor
swung round and struck prisoner, throwing some of
the contents of the bottle over prisoner's head, and he
was also burnt. On!heing apprehended by Constable
Butler, 140 L, the prisoner was also taken to the hos-
pital, and on the way there he said, "Ho has got the
worst of it after all." On the way to the station,
after leaving, he said," I wish all the - Germans
were out of this country." Prisoner said the prose-
cutor threw the bottle at him first, and he threw it
back. Mr. Slade remanded him for a week without
bail.

UNITED METHODIST FREE CHURCH
.&SSEMBL Y.

The assembly resumed its sittings on Saturday,
morning, the president, the Rev. T. Sherwood, pre-
siding. The Rev. E. Boaden, chapel secretary, pre.
sented the report of the chapel funds. Twelve
chapels had been erected during the year at a cost of
£10,304, towards which £4314 had been raised,
leaving a balance yet to be raised of £5990. There
had been 69 chapels enlarged at a cost of £7405. The
total amount expended on chapels and schools
account ras £26,532, towards which £12,395 had
been raised, leaving an unpaid balance of £14,137.
The rev, gentleman strongly condemned the practice
of commencing to build either chapels or schools
until at least half the amount required had been
raised. There had been subscribed in reduction of
debts on other chapels £25,875. Altogether, there had
been raised in the year £38,964; in the previous year
£48,700 was obtained. The report was adopted.
The Rev. E. Boaden presented the report of the
Chapel Loan Fund. The balance brought forward
from last year was £3119 2s. 4d., and with this the
total amount of the fund for the year was £5OOB 2s.
Loans had been advanced to the amount of £2895.
The capital account showed amount received to 1885,
£10,795 17s 4d.; to 1886, £375; total,
£11,170 17s. 4d. The balance by loans unpaid was
£9183 13s. 4d.; balance in hand, £1987 4s. The
report was adopted. The Rev. E. Boaden next
presented the report of the Commemorative or
Silver Wedding Fund of the Connexion. Twelve
months ago the total sum promised to the fund
As £32,368 12s. 'lid. When the report was pub-
lished the amount promised had increased to
£32,368 10s. 'lid. Since then other subscriptions
had been given, swelling the total to .£32,400. The
total amount received from the commencement of the
fund up to March of the present year was—for con-
112Xional purposes, £12,832 17s. 70., and for local
objects, £249 3s. 11d., making a total of
£18,082 is. 6id. £lOO had been granted to the liqui-
dation of the Newcastle Mission debt, and one-six-
teenth af the remainder of the fund had been appro-
priated between the local preachers' fund and the
Book Room Committee. The thanks of the committee
were presented to the subscribers, and it was urged
upon ministers and other helpers the advisability of
collecting unpaid subscriptions. In the afternoon a
considerable number of the representatives visited
Chatsworth, the seat of the Duke of Devonshire.

THE NEW HOUSE.

The result of the election in South Tyrone increases
the Lumber of Unionists by one, and makes the
Parnellite total one less than it was in the last Parlia-
ment. The National party have during the elections
gained one seat in Belfast, but they have lost
two, both to Unionist candidates, one defeated being
in South Derry and the other in South Tyrone. Whilst
the party may congratulate themselves on the victory
of Mr. Sexton, two other prominent members
of the party, Mr. Tim Healy and Mr. W.
O'Brien have failed in the two constituencies
above mentioned, but perhaps these gentle-
men may derive some consolation from the fact that
members of other great parties have been as unsuc-
cessful as themselves. Mr. Hibbert, Secretary to the
Admiralty, Mr. Mellor, Judge 'Advocate-General,
Mr. Leveson-Gower, one of the Lords of the Trea-
sury, and Mr. E. g. Howard, Under Secretary for
India, are the members of the Government who have
failed at the polling-booths, while among the promi-
nent Unionists who have not obtained re-election are
Mr. Goschen, Sir George Trevelyan, Mr. Brand, and
Mr. A. Grey.
Orkney and Shetland is the only constituency in
the three kingdoms which has yet to give its decision.
Polling there will take place on Friday and Satur-
day next, and the result will be made known early
in the week. Assuming that the seat goes to the
Ministerialists the composition of the House will thee
be as follows :

A CLAIM TO LARGE ESTATES.

Mr. Justice Chitty on Tuesday morning commenced
the hearing of a case of Andrews v. Uthwatt, in which
the plaintiff claims to succeed to estates in Bucking-
ham of the value of some £OO,OOO. He rests his claim
on the allegation that he is the legitimate child of his
parents, an allegation which is disputed by the de-
fendant to the action. As stated by the counsel for
the plaintiff, Henry Andrewes, the alleged marriage
took place between 1835 and 1839, but he could net
produce a certificate of marriage, or eviderce of when
ihe ceremony took place, or whether in this country
or abroad. The father appeared to have been con-
stantly moving about the country, and was located at
times in St. Helen's, in Liverpool, at Liskeard, and
many other places, and the children, of whom there
were many, were born in different localities. The
plaintiff asserts that the father always treated the
mother as his wife, and the children as lawfully be-
gotten, and that as such they were received in the
society in which they moved. His own relati;ns,
however, were not aware that be was married when
he successled to the property, and in 1877, when he so
succeeded, he not only did not disclose the alleged
marriage, but beyond all question treated his next
younger brother and that brother's children as the
persons who would succeed to it. These are the main
facts of the plaintiff's case.
