A PLEASURE VAN UPSET.

SEVERAL PERSONS INJURED.

Shortly before 11 o'clock on Sunday night an
accident occurred in the Clapham-road, between Stock-
well and the Rise, by which nine persons sustained
serious injuries. It appears that a number of persons, in
the employment of Mr. Rimmel, perfumer, of the Strand,
engaged a van of Mr. Cooper, of Leader-street, Chelsea,
for the purpose of a day's excursion. The party, number-
ing about twenty-five persona, started in the morning
from the Black Prince tavern, Chandos-street, Strand,
and proceeded to Walton-heath, near Banstead. The re-
turn journey was performed safely until arriving in the
Clapham-road, when, without the slightest warning,
one of the fore wheels gave way. This caused
the under carriage to sway, and then the van
turned over. The screams and cries of the occu-
pants brought assistance, and eight persons were at once
removed to St. Thomas's Hospital. Others less injured
were attended by the neighbouring surgeons. The
following is the list of those attended at the
hospital by Mr. Ridge, the house-surgeon :
Martha Buckle, 34, 6, Charlotte-mews, Portland-
place, severe bruised shoulder; Charles Birkett, aged 15,
3, Brownlow-street, Long Acre, injured legs; Robert
Russell, 39, of 34, Upper Marlborough-street, severe
wound of face ; Eliza Russell, an infant nine weeks, his
daughter, wound of face; Richard Foulkes, 14, of Drury-
lane, injury to aide; Charlotte Ward, 48, of 2, Hill-street,
Wellington-street, Blackfriars-road, severe injury to spine
and back ; Charlotte Reales, 59, Charlotte-mews, Portland-
place, severe injury to head; John Harris, 39, 19, Nelson-
squ are, Bermondsey, fractured thigh. The last three persons
are in a serious condition. A young woman named
Lizzie Adams was removed to her home suffer-
ing from a fractured leg. The majority of those
severely injured were on the outside of the van,
and the man Russell fell with his child under him. Those
inside were greatly braised and shaken, and were with
difficulty got out. On examination of the van it seemed
that the fore wheel was completely broken up, and it is
believed the cause was over dryness of the nave of the
wheel.

OPENING OF THE VOLUNTEER ARTILLERY OAIIP
AT RHORBURYNESB.-(THIS DAY.)

Following closely the meeting of the National
Bale Association at Wimbledon comes that of the
National Artillery Association at Shoehuryneso This
year the meeting opens under exceptionally &rentable
circumstances. The prize-list is larger and more
valuable, the entries of volunteers from various
parts of the country show a marked increase,
and the weather promices to be favourable. The
chief event of the meeting is the competition for
the prizes which her Majesty again offers for competition
this year. They consist of ten silver naps, value WO&
and they will be contested on Thursday next with 40-
pounder Armstrong guns by all detachments passed in
Armstrong gun drill by the commandant. The National

many others of lesser value.

A large number of volunteers have already arrived;
some of them from Scotland. The force in camp will be
under the command of Lieutenant Curtis, of the }loyal

THE ODD FELLOWS PETE AT THE CRYSTAL
PALACE.-(THIS DAY.)

For several years past two days in tho month
of August have been set apart for fgtes on a large
scale at the Crystal Palace in aid of the Widow and
Orphan Fund belonging to the London district of
the two large friendly societies of England, viz.,
the Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows and the
Ancient Order of Foresters. The former now num-
bers over 400,000 members, and the other follows close in
its wake. Owing to the fact, however, that the Foresters
number about 00,000 members in London, while the
Odd Fellows in this particular district are not
much above half that number, the Foresters'
Day at the Crystal Palace has always carried
off the palm in regard to numbers. The average atten-
dance has been about 60,000, and on the Odd Fellows' days
about 26,000. To-day being Odd Fellows' day great ex-
ertions have been used to insure a large attendance, and
those exertions, combined with the thienessof the weather,
promise a large increase to the numbers on the present oc-
casion. From an early hour this morning the stations of
the railways running to the Palace have been crowded
with Odd Fellows and their families and Mends,
and up to 12 o'clock more than 10,000 persons
had been taken down to the Palace. The roads leading to
the palace have also been crowded with pleasure vans
and other vehicles. The proceedings at the palace open
at 1 o'clock with a grand procession on the terraces;
after which the varied amusements of the day com-
mence, including an entertainment by the leading comic
singers of the music halls, a balloon ascent by Mr. Coxwell,
a display of the fountains, military sports by members of
the order belonging to the household regiments, 6cc.
Dancing in the grounds and kiss-in-the-ring wore also en-
tered upon with great vigour, and everything betokens a
most successful and agreeable day.
