Edinburgh, during her Majesty's visit in October, or at
Wimbledon is 1862. We Übe,* that it is not intended
to make the prise one ef pecuniary value, the
honour of SUUCANIII in the contest being the only stake to
be pl.iyal for. The arrangements, so far as regards
the side of the challenger, are left to Mr. Horatio Ross,
and it is Intended to ask Lord Dalhomie to be the Scotch
umpire. Some objection has bees stated that the challenge
has not received the occesaary publicity south of the Tweed,
but we believe that every step will be taken to make it
widely known there, rod we Live no doubt that the eaten.
tion of the beat shots of the country will be drawn to it.
We believe, also, that an international match, to take place
next year, open to all betimes, is suggested.— gdiaburgA

DEER STAlKlNG.—Martiudalo Fells, inWestmore-
laud, mice a portion of Inglewood Forest, is the only place
is England where the red deer roams at large in its wild
state. The patches of verdure her. and there to be found
supply ample foal, while the rugged and precipitous sides
of the huge masses of rocks form an almost impregnable
retreat for those sure footed quadrupeds. To any but the
most ardent sportsman the labour and dupe of hunting
the animals aloes the mountain passes Is se aren If ever
attempted, and this rarely with success. Oa Saturday
rooming last, Richard Minnie*, Eau., of Fslenhall, ac-
esxnpanied by his deer stalker. set out on en expedition
to the fells of Martindale. and about 10 o'clock in the
morning succeeded in getting upon the track of a deer;
which they stealthily followed from point to point for
SOON hours. About four o'clock in the afternoon the ant-
lers of a sable stag became visible wed cautiously ap'

I FESTIVAL OF TIIE TIIICEE CHOIRS.
—4.--
(ram uua owx cimagsronnatrr.)
HEREFORD, FRIDAY.
A drizzling rain thi.. morning the first fur Koine
weeks—accompanied by a rough wind, has been rather
dispiriting for the last day of the festival, though it cannot
materially affect the results, inasmuch ea everybody bad
taken tickets previously. The receipts for the charity up
to this morning exceed those of the first three days in 1868
(the last Hereford meeting) by over 1301., 6081. having
been collected at the doors of the cathedral spinet 47U.
• This is the more gratifying, inasmuch as the collection in
Lois was the largest ever made at IlerefonL
Last night the concert-room was crowded to excess.
Thursday is always considered at there festivals as the
• fashionable night, when everybody with any pretensions
' to /on must put in an appearance to see and be seen.
The programme consisted of a ruiacellaneous selection of
pieces, which was followed by the new "Lyrical legend,''
(iodine, the joint work of Messrs. Oxeuford and Benedict.
This had only been publicly performed thrice Wore—via,
first at the Norwich festival last year ; secondly, at Madame
Clara Novellea farewell concert, at St. James's Hall, last
November; and, thirdly, at the composer's concert, three
months ago. Benedict himself had come down to Hereford
specially Weitzel* its production st the Festival of the Three
Choirs. lie appeared much pleased with the performance.
The first encore of the week was accorded to the overture
to Williams Td', which was given with a spirit which well
earned the distiactioe. After another miscellaneous *ace-
tic), the National Anthem wound up the best secular concert
of the week soon after eleven o'clJek.
The rain did not prevent a large attendance at the cathe-
dral again this morning, and every seat was occupied in both
nave and aisles. The Messiah, which was given this morn-
ing, never fsils to draw a lugs audience. The congregation
numbered 1,707, a larger number than had ever been recol-
lected, and the collection for the charity was proportionately
large. The performance of the great masterpiece was alto-
gether most satisfactory.
The collection to-day amonnted to the munificent sum of
3061. 2s. 3d., including the sum of 60/. from the Worcester
Festival Committee, presented by the 11ev. R. Sergeant.
The ladies and gentlemen by whom the plates were held
at the cathedral doors were - - Lady Bateman and the Hon.
C. Hanbury, Lady A. nominee and J. Freeman, Esq. ;
Lady Langdale mid Sir Thos. Hastinp, Lady Carter and
the Rev. E. Hawksbaw, Mrs. Jane Freer and the Rev. E.
Hampden, Lady Hastings and Sir W. Curtis, Hos. Mrs.
Haabury and Tomkins Dew, Erg. ; Mrs. Botfield and the
Rev. A. Clive, Mrs. T. Evans and the Rev. B. 8. Stanhope ;
Mies Leighton and J. H. Arkwrigbt, Esq. ; Miss Hampden
sad the Hon. J. Fiennes.

ALFRED MELLON'S PROMENADE CONCERTS.

Yesterday, the first part of the concert at this
agreeable place of entertainment consisted of a selection
from We works of Weber. The first piece was Symphony
No. 1 in C, which it need hardly be said was executed by
the famous band which Mr. Mellon has collected beneath
his efficient baton in the manner which alone could have
beeo expected from it. )Mlle. F. Laucia .an, the well-
known scone, " Softly sighs," and Malame Laura Baxter
gave the song, " Oh, Araby, dear Araby ;" and these
two ladies afterwards sang the duet, " Come, be gay," acquit-
Cog themselves must satisfactorily. Everyone knows
how Formes sings the bacchanalian song from Der
Freieclaidz, " Life is darkened o'er with woe ;" and its
reception showed that neither the music Dar the singer has
lost any of their popularity. Mr. George Rummell performed
the " Concert Stuck " on the pianoforte with very fair
effect ; and the overtures to Otero.' and Preciosa being
included iu the programme, there were ample materials
fur • delightful night with Weber. Judging from the
appreciation of the audience, it is probable that this selec-
tion will be repeated ; at least it ought to be heard again.
The miscellaneous concert was very attractive, the " New
York Quadrille" and " The Four-in-Hand (Woo " coming
in amidst the music of the higher class very cheerfully.
The musical programme for this day will be that which
was so successful on • former_ evening, ender the title
of " A Volunteer Night."

died suddenly on Monday last. He had been slightly
ailing, but was able to be out of bed, and was in the act of

envarm. Pat.teE. —Mr. Strange, who has for
several years past supplied the refreshments at the Palace,
annourioes his annual benefit festival for Tuesday belt.
In addition to the usual nautical performances and other
attractions, Mr. Strange jimmiess a consort by the Loudon
Glee and Madrigal Union, a performance by the Band of
the Coldstream Guards, a Juvenile Concert by the Green-
heed Family, half-an-hour with the droll vocalist and
musician, Mackey, a display of the whole of the foun-
tains, and an extraordinary rope ascent by Dlondin. The
attractive programme of eutertaiuments has induced the
railway authorities on all the lines in CODOOXiOD with the
Palace to run cheap excursion trains to and from Sydeuham,
at low fares. A feature in the day's arrange mute is that
a room has been sot apart near the saloon where metro-
politan sod provincial friends may meet each other on their
arrival, or parties re-assemble after being distributed
amongst the numerous attractions offered for their en-
joyment
STATE OF TRADE.—MANCHESTER, SEPT. la—The
state of the market contioues unrelieved by any feature of
improvement. Piece goods are iucreasingly dull, and the
bias of prices is against the producer, bough quotations are
maintained with much show of firmness. Telegraphic
&deices are to band from Calcutta to the lath August, and
they represent the market as being without improvement
up to that date. lu the reports from (AMA thin • is also
great ilisconragement to trading in cloths for that country.
'fhb demand for yarns here is very limited, and the tram-
actions in all departments have been confined to very small
quantities. Prices are iplite as steady gas they were at the
beginning of the week, in must cases. Yams for the COD.
tiuent a unchanged in value sioce Tuesday. There is very
little iniMiry far Blackburn yarns, and their prices are •
shade osier than before.
