iffdLitlFT, VOLUNTEER REVIEW AND SWAM the ravine from which they poured a' continuous and
TWIT AT WIMBLEDON. deadly fins upon the retreating enemy, who in cuesequeme
retreated farther still. Then came the gallant 2nd City of
Londou, the Zed South Middlesex. and other battalions in
hot pursuit till both sides of the ravine were filled with
glancing heads' riffle cracked in every direction, and small
wreaths of smoke curled heavenward from the covert of a
thousand brambles, or the sheltered screen of wild brier or
oak scrub, while the artillery thandend away on both sides;
men and spectator alike grew excited, and everything was
as like as possible to the appearance of an actual battle
field, with the happy exception that there were no wounds
sad so blood.shed. A mu-commissioned officer belonging to
one of the Middlesex corps, after giving the word
to his men to "fire and look sharp," Mond to us
and said, "This is just like Inkennan." " What," we Baked,
"were you 'keret" " Yes, I should think I was, and this
nvino is just like it." "But not the battle," we said "there
were so blank cartridges at Lokerman." " No, indeed there
were not," and he smiled sadly. " But dill this is very
much like Inkerman, only there the oak scrub was thinker,
and came up to our chins." Having said this, he and his
men rushed oa to take a more advanced position, for the
foe was sullenly falling beck upon Wimbledon, driven in
at all points ; but still, like brace men, the second division
contested every inch of ground, and fired rifle for rifle.
The contest along the aides of the ravine, which lasted
for about half-au-hour, was strikingly and beautifully pie-
tureaque, and there was, besides, so much of reality about it;
nevertheless, no one on the grand stand could get a glimpse
of it, nor probably did one-twentieth part of the saton
get even an inkling of what was going on in this direction.
And, in truth, it ,
required a little nerve, even for a gentleman
of the press' to mix in the meld," for although
the cartridges were blank, the simultaneous discharge of
500 or 600 riles within a few yards was by no means musical
to ears not accustomed to be deafened by the mar of the
battle field, besides which inconvenience it was just possible
that a cartridge might have wandered waywardly, or that
some irascible officer might have regarded us as spies, and
handed us over to the tender mercies of the proves'.
marshal. However we dared it all, and reaped our reward
in witnessing the gallant exploits of the Devil's Own and
the South Middlesex.
Following the movements of the contending armies, we
found them at length both massed upon the level open com-
mon within the enclosure, so that the spectators genially
could now, for the first time, see all that passed, instead of
having their view limited to the smoke rising from cannon
sod rifles, sod sorneindistinct traces of bodies of volunteers,
either actually engaged or waiting foe the moment to be-
come so. Column after column of the retreating force de-
bouched upon the plain, followed by the columns of
the enemy, until two hostile lines were formed, extending
from east to west, some three-quarters of a mile, with
artillery belching forth fire and smoke on the flanks, and a
osesekes fire of musketry along the whole extent. Some-
times they fired in file, the rifle flashes running from end to
end of theeelong lines with an uo intermittent rattle, while at
other times a simultaneous volley lit up the interval be-
tween pursuers and pursued with one long pale flash of
light, succeeded by a cloud of smoke and silence, till the
crash of the heavy guns on more boomed over the field,
shaking the whole atmosphere, and making the distant
woods mar with its echoing till Wimbledon and Fotoey,
and tar off Kew and Richmond might have imagined than a
great battle was in progress, the result of which might de-
cide the destinies of • kingdom. The spectacle as viewed
from the grand stand was magnificent, and there were
few apectaton who were 1504 sorry when the
firing ceased, and when it was understood that
General Scarlett, despite his bravery and his skill, despite
the strength of his original position sod the valour of his
troops, had been overpowered in the contest, and compelled,
for " strategic reasons." to retire to the village of Wier
bledoe.
Not that the gallant commander of the mooed division
had actually done so, for be was immediately afterwards
employed in the task of marshalling his brigades for the
" marching past," which was to finish the review, and pre-
paratory to which the Duke of Cambridge and his staff
took up their position at the saluting post in frost of the
grand stand, where they were joined by Lord Radnor and
the Earl of Cardigan. Hen, too, the duke, turning round,
perceived that among the revenants of the stand was the
Duke of Magenta, to request whose company he forthwith
despatched au aide-de-camp. The French marshal imme-
diately proceeded to the spot, where he was cordially
saluted by the English Commander-is-Chief, amid the
cheers of the spectators, and where he remained while the
volunteers defiled peat in companies at wheelie; distance.
At the head of the Fist Division came Sir R. Airm,
followed he the guns of the Hon. Artillery Company. Thee
came the lion. Artillery Company itself, amid the general
burst of cheering whith usually greets the appearance cif
that splendid body of volunteers, who marched like use
man. After them tame the Second Brigade, headed ley
Lord Raoelagb, who was cheered with a cordial cheer aloe'
the whole line, and seemed to enjoy it. The Inns of
Court—or Devil's Own—received a special cramp
cheer, as did also the South Middlesex (Lord •
Owe) ; the Victories, the Civil Service, the St.
the Artiste', the 40th Middle's:, and some other can"
forming part of the First Division.
The Second Division was headed by Sir J. Y. Scarlet/4
the artillery following; the First Infantry Brigade behlg
led by Lord Elcho, who rode a magnificent charger, whiCh
seemed more alive to the cheering which greeted its noble
rider than Lord Elcho himself ; for his lordship rode by
stiff and stately, looking neither to the right Der to the
len, but only forward, and with defiant mien es became so
great a warrior. The London Scottish (Lord Echo's Own)
received an ovation, so did the Queen, a Westminsterand
the City of London, while the Ist Administrative Battalion
(Tower Hamlets), the 19th Middlesex (or Working Men's
College), and some other corps were loudlycheered for their
firm compact appearance and regular step.
Just before the last sections of the first division defiled
the rain, which had so far held itself in suspense, came
down plentifully, and continued to do so till everything was
over, so that the men got well drenched. There wee
general outspreading of umbrellas among the spectators,
and the Duke of Cambridge, who, remembering his expo.
rieece at last year's review, hod come provided, donned his
military cloak and sat out the storm like • statue. The
marching past, which commenced about half-east nye.,
finished at a quarter-past eight, and five minutes later his
Royal Highness end suite were galloping over the
heath, by a short cut towards Putney, in which direction,
as well as towards Wimbledon, the road was speedily
blocked by throngs of vehicles, strong bodies of volun
and hosts of spectators making the best of their way,
wet and mud, to the railway stations. Here some li
delay, which might possibly have been obviated, arose la
some instances. but on the whole the arrangements for con-
veyance to town were perhaps as good and as regular as
could be expected.

To bare cipeoted at Wimbledon, on Saturday,
a vast siescubisige ipsiakirs, each as that which
crowded together I. liftmen the great historical review in
Hyde-park two years ego, wire 20,000 men were reviewed
by her Majesty in person, sorrounded by her court, by
foreign ambsssaders, by both houses of parliament, by the
[lire of the aristocracy, and the middle cluses—and when
some $OO,OOO people gaged upon a spectacle which bad long
been anticipated as one of ipeat national importance—would
have been elnord. For in addition to the disparity of this
review sod that, in their national and more important
aspect, there was this fact operating to the advantage of
Hyde-park and the disadvantages`, of Wimbledon ; that
while the one took place at a distance from the
metropolis and for the most part within an en.
closed area, to which admission could be ob.
Weed only by payment, the other was easy of aroma
and freely open to all comers. Neverthelaui, Wim-
bledon drew to itself • great concourse of people.
It was known that the active operations of the review
could not begin till five or six o'clock ; but long before one
the arrivals of spectators commenced, carriage after carriage
succeeded, and horseman followed horseman, while two
streams of pedestrians poured down from the Putney and
Wimbledon railway statics's, and long before a single voltin•
tear corps bad marched in, the iron hurdles and ropes which
marked out the owe reserved for the public were lined
by spectators several files deep along their whole length,
sod behind these long rows of carriages, three, four, or five
deep, stretched out, in ea almost endless perspective. Tbe
grand steed, too, although not more than half filled—sad
from the admission charge more could hardly have been ex-
pected—had
an effective appearance, and altogether, the
attendance was greater than might have been anticipated,
after the heavy rains of the night and frequent storms of
the morning, which made the common in many parts
unpleasantly damp and plaahy. It la somewhat difficult
to estimate the ember of spectators present, as well as, in
the absence of official returns, to compare it with that of
last year ; but so far as eye and memory may be relied upon,
the grand stand was occupied in both instances to about the
same extent, while the number of carriages and spectators
generally was considerably larger this year than last,
Saturday's aggregate prObably being from 20,000 to .21,000.
It should be remarked here that last year everything tended
iccrease the particular attraction of the review, for the
day was gloriously fine until after the commencement of
operations, which were preceded by the ceremony of the
distribution of prizes by the Duke of Cambridge—
& ceremony offering no mean attraction of its own, and
which this year, as a separate and distinct feature of the
Grand National Rifle contest, takes place at the Crystal
Palace. Those who wish to witness it must go to the
Crystal l'slac• to-day. Possibly bad it been corn.
Woad with the review, as was the case last
year, the attendance at Wimbledon on Satur-
day might have been greater even than it was.
The volunteer wept first upon the ground was the let Mid-
dlesex Artillery, which arrived about four o'clock, sad was
rapidly suoceeded by the geed** Soettiah, the Sad City of
London, and others following each other u quickly as they
could be brought down by railway, and marching at a quick
step to the sound of military music.
Some staff officers were among the first arrivals, but the
Duke of Cambridge himself did not appear till about five
o'clock, hia arrival being intimated by the discharge of a
cannon and the heading of the royal fanner to the top of
the flagereff in front of the grand steed. His royal Mgh-
nese was loudly cheered, and was speedily surrounded by a
brilliant staff, including Majoir-Oeueral Sir Richard Airey,
R.C.B. ; MajorGenenl the Hoe. Sir J. Yorke ficarlett,
K.C.B. ; Colonel M'Mardo, Inspector-General of Volun-
teers ; Colonel Erskine„ Colonel Luard Colonel Morris,
Colonel Mennen. Colonel Dick ; Captain Bomar, Harapdire

pded and placed in position ; but it was fully six o'clock
before the last imps came etpoo the ground.

bly over 9,000 men were actually present.

With reference to the minor meetings, it is suf-
ficient to remark that Armagnac sod the Naomi
filly are likely to secure the two-yeer-old races
at Abingdon and Hungerford, Amy being the
most threatening for the two principal handi-
caps in the Berkshire country ; and the West Riding
Handicap, at Pontefract, may end in a match between
Knotsford and King of Kars ; while the Pontefract Han&
cap looks entirely between Lemon and the Bider to Stat.
ford filly. The proceedings at the late Newmarket meeting
were only remarkable for the brilliant performances of Sac-
charometer (another promising candidate for the Derby,
1863) sod the moderate figure cut by Argonaut, who will
have to improve at leabt a stone before he can win the St.
Leger, for which ergot a good outaider was brought to
light at Worcester in Exchequer. —1 am, &a., METEOR.
