CERAMIC AND CRYSTAL PALACE ART UNION.—
The tenth annual meeting and prize distribution of this
society took place on Wednesday last, at the Architectural
Museum, Conduit-street. Mr. Solomon A. Hart,R. A., took
the chair, and was supported by Mr. E. M. Ward, R.A.,
Mr. S. C. Hall, Dr. Doran, Sr Francis Moon, Bart., and
other gentlemen who have taken an interest in the Society
since its formation in 18d9. The principle upon which
the society proceeds is that of guinea subscriptions, each
guinea entitling the subscriber to select from a number of
objects a work of art of the commercial value of the sub-
senption, besides a chance of obtaining a prize of higher
value. The surplus of the subscriptions over the current
expenses form the fund for the production of the prize
works, which consist of groups and statuettes in ceramic
statuary, porcelain vases, and other works of high merit.
The report, which was read by Dr. Doran, congratulated
the subscribers that notwithstanding active competition
the society still continued to hold its own. For this
result the council bad to thank the whole body of sub-
scribers; also, Mr. Joseph Durham, A.R.A., for his beauti-
ful bug of Tenn n's • May Queen," and Mr. William
Then, for his charming reduction of " Muidana, " from
the original, in posamion of his Royal Highness the Prince
of Wales, so that a work of art which graces a princely
dwelling might now in its ceramic reproduction adorn any
of our own. It was to accomplish such and similar ends
that this society was first established. Sir Francis Moon
moved the adoption of the report, which was seconded by
Mr. W. B. Langmore. The prizes were then drawn ;
and after a vote of thanks to the chairman the meeting
broke up. A number of prize works were exhibited at
the meeting, which called forth cordial expressions of
approval and admiration.
ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS OF ENGLAND.—
The following gentlemen having passed the necessary
examinations received their diplomas in dental surgery at
a meeting of the Board of Examiners on the 29th inst.,
viz.:—Messrs. G. W. Payne, of Grosvenor-street, Eaton-
square ; A. W. Whittingham, of Hanley, Staffordshire ;
and It. W. Webster, of Colebrook-row, Islington.
SWIMMING IN TILE SERPENTINE.—Yesterday
morning the captaincy competition of the Hyde-park
Swimming Club came off in the Serpentine, the distance
being 1,000 yards over the usual course for these matches
—from the grating to the bridge. The winner received
the title of captain of the dub, accompanied with the
douceur of a silver Victoria medal. Although only esta-
blished within the last two months, this club already con-
sists of a considerable number of members, and this is
&nether instance illustrating the increasing popularity of
the swimming movement. There were seven entries, and
all appeared to compete. Mr. Mitchell, a member of the
club, acted as starter, and the following was the decision :
—D. Jackson, 1; G. Parrett, 2; W. G. Taplin, 3 ; W.
Gidley, 4. A very even start was made, but before 50
yards had been travelled Jackson, Parrett, Taplin, and
Gidley had come out and left the others in the rear. At
1.10 yards Parrett and Jackson were leading close together,
followed by Taplin and Gidley four yards behind. The
first boat-house was reached by Parrett and Jackson at a
dead heat, amidst applause from the spectators, while
Taplin was 10 yards behind, and getting quite out.of the
race. It was now becoming clear that the race lay be-
tween the first two, who ultimately passed and repassed
each other. Swimming with a powerful breast stroke
Jackson managed to come in the winner half a length is
front of Parrett, the latter being the closest second in any
of these 1,000 yards Serpentine matches that we remember
this season. Taplin and Gidley swam into third and fourth
perineum respectively 30 and 40 yards behind. The win-
ner's time was 18 minutes 65 seconds. The other compe-
titors gave it up as a forlorn bore near the Human* So-
ciety's boat-house.

TILE WESLEYAN CONFERENCE.—The general
burineas of the conference was begun yesterday morning
with singing and player. The following gentlemen were
appointed to the legal hundred:—The Revs. R. Leek,
J. Hodron, William Elton. William Faulkner, byseniority,
and the Revs. S. Coley, John Vine, and J. D. Orden, by
nomination. Short and appropriate addressee were deli-
vered by the candidates in acknowledgment of the dignity
conferred upon them, after which the conference pro-
ceeded to elect a president for the ensuing year. The
following is the order of votes, the highest number, as in
the case of thore elected to the legal hundreds, determin-
ing the successful candidate:—Rev. John Lomas, 11 votes;
Rev. Dr. Jobson, 83; Rev. John Farrar. 91; Rev. S. R.
Hall, 141. The retiring president (Rev. John Bedford)
having called the Rev. 8. R. Hall to the platform, deli-
vered to him the seals of office with en appropriate ad-
dress, the newly elected president responded and the
order of the day was proceeded with.
THE CHANCERY VACATION.—In a short time
the long vacation will commence both in law and equity ;
and in preparation for the latter a notice has been issued
from the Rolls Chambers that the Master of the Rolls will
be the vacation judge. Hitherto the last appointed judge
has taken the vacation business, and Vice-Chancellor
Giffard, it was expected, would have discharged the duties,
but Lord Romilly-laving expressed his intention to attend
to the cases, notification has been given on the subject to
the profession.
TUE " BLUES" IN AUSTRALIA.—Eight years
ago there was founded in Melbourne a society for the
relief of each persons, resident in the colony, as had been
educated at Christ's Hospital, and had fallen into dis-
tress. The seventh annual report of the society informs
us that during his recent visit to this country, the Prmi-
dent and Honorary Treasurer, Mr. Edward Whitby,
of Melbourne, succeeded in sufficiently interesting his
brother "Blues" as to obtain nearly 1001. for the anti-
podean society. During the past year temporary aid has
been afforded to several old " Blues" out of employment
in Australia, and assistance rendered to the families of
others in distressed circumstances. Every year sees an
increase in the usefulness of the society, which now pos-
sesses a capital of about 600/. At a recent banquet in
Melbourne a letter was read from MEAL the Duke of
Edinburgh, in reply to a loyal address of congratulation
on his escape from the pistol of the assassin, O'Farrell ;
and au adcfrem of cordial thanks was also voted to the
president for his valuable services. On the occasion in
question a real " Blue" was present in the quaint
drew of the school, a suit of clothes having been pro-
cured from London for the purpose.
THE GRAND NATIONAL ARCHERY ROCTETYS'
MENJINCI AT RERZFORD. The twenty-fifth annual
meeßng of this society commenced at Hereford on Wed-
nesday afternoon, and will be brought to a conclusion,
with the exception of the customary handicap shooting,
this afternoon. It is arranged that the prizes shall be
declared at a ball, which will be held this evening,
under distinguished patronage, but the result of to-day s
shooting will not be ascertained before midnight.
CAUTION TO PIGEON SHOOTERS.—A case of
reckless pigeon shooting near • railway, by which an
engine driver lost the use of an eye, has come before Mr.
Baron Channell at the Devon Assizes. On January 1 the
plaintiff, Alexander Deane, was driving a train between
Exeter and Bideford. As the train approached the Porta-
mouth Anne station be was struck in the eye. He had
since been five months under medical advice, and now
could not see with the injured eye. It turned out that in
a field near the line a large number of farmers were
engaged in pi gem shooting, the birds being trapped close
to the line. Just as the train was passing the defendant
fired at a pigeon and killed it. He was seen to pick up the
bird. For the defence it was urged that three shots were
fired at once, and that it was not the defendant's shot
that struck the engine driver's eye. The jury found a ver-
dict for the plaintiff—damages, 801.
PROGRESS OF THE HARVEST.—Our reports from
the corn growing counties of Worcester, Hereford, and
Glouceirter repreeent that the greater part of the grain has
already been cut, and a great deal safely garnered. In
one or two forward districts some farmers are working
bard to finish to-day (niday) that they may place upon
record the fact that they did in 1888 finish their harvest is
July. The season is fully a month in advance, and sines
reaping commenced a fortnight ago the corn has
ripened so rapidly as to be shedding on the
ground when carted. In consequence (it is supposed)
of the early season very few Irish labourers have eases
over, and there is a great my for hands, AO that those who
are available have received high wages, and meihanies
have turned their hands to the sickle Ind the scythe from
their ordinary employments. The crops are found to be
much better than hoped for. Wheat especially appeals
to have thriven wonderfully under the burning sun. The
grain is plump and heavy, and generally the ears are long

As to the application of monies voted by puha._
the use of the Admiralty in the building, repairing,

bad much evidence before them on those subj_

committee no imputations rest on the character
officers of the Admiralty, they do not feel able

evidence to the house.

The draft report referred to by the committee

vessels, and the sale of old ships); and Mr. Seelj
that they should recommend that all contracts

at by the chairman was that a further inquiry
instituted into the management of the dockyards
contract system ; and also whether the present
diture in the building of ships is employed on
efficient and economical class of iron-clads.

The draft report of Lord H. Lennox generally kr.
the present system, but recommends certain-modifies%
and improvements, in order to obtain a greater

d the meet amplified by one the most eminent of London firms this
morning. There is a glut of the new bronze coinage,

it will still further increase, exceedingly disag
