NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

WEDNESDAY.

The card to-day had a superabundance of matches,
which, if the stewards had distributed over yesterday's run-
ning, and given us some of the £5O plates instead, we
should :not have been, as we were, racing in the dark.
Scarcely anything calls for notice beyond what our return
gives. Birch Broom, a horse of superior quality to Rapid
Rhone, won his match without being called on, and Cata-
logue had the turn of speed over Money Spinner. Rubini
gave the fielders a turn in the 10 Soy. Sweepstakes by de-
feating with great ease Sir Joseph Hawley's warm favou-
rite Washington. The next three events were matches, in
which the favourites were all on the winning side, and in
the. Subscription Plate En on landed the odds cleverly.
The day was raw and cold, and the attendance a con-
trast to the crowds of yesterday.

WRECK ON THE BARBER SANDS.—CAISTOR,
NEAR GREAT YARMOUTH—Wednesday Night.—
Our lifeboat has been instrumental in saving the
crew of the Richmond Packet lof Stockton, Shalleshatt,
master, bound from Middlesboro' to Dunkirk with a cargo
of iron. She was in a dangerous position on the Barber
Sands, aid observing the signals of distress the Caistor
lifeboat of the National Institution was at once launched
and proceeded to her help, and brought ashore the crew
from their very dangerous position. It may be here ob-
served that there are few lifeboats in the kingdom which
have rendered more important services to shipwrecked
crews than the Caistor lifeboat.

displeased the audience that, notwithstanding the presence
of the Queen, hisses, hooting, cat-calls, and noises of

ceremony. The Royal party remained patiently in their
box for an hour and a half.

million of Cubas, 25,000 Cabanas, and 1,250,000 packets of
ordinary tobacco for smoking. He also took postage stamps

A SKETCH ON THE NORFOLK COAST.—Unless
the "tide serves" (which it never d6es when you
want to go on to the beach), it is impossible, though almost
on the brink of it, for Houghton to eatch a sight of the
German Ocean, by reason of that broad expanse of marsh
and mud and many creeks which intervenes. Houghton
has its cockle-strand, and the flavour of those cockles is
esteemed in that country-side. They are big, blue,
burly. They form a mighty portion of the integral
trade of that quiet little village, for "peasant girls with deep
blue eyes, and hands that offer ' burly cockles,' come milling
o'er this paradise," through all the summer months, with
baskets full of the result of their barefooted labours down
on the strand. The way that leads down to this-cockle- •
strand is called by a name that indicates (so Houghton
proudly asserts) that it at one time traded more largely and
had a quay of its own, for the way is called " Quay-land,"
and it is the haunt and lounge of the coastguard and fisher-
men all the week, and of the whole population on Sundays.
—Once a Week.

We cannot resist the temptation of relating the
following anecdote of the Apostolic Bishop of New
Zealand, the scene os whose adventure lies here. He had
persuaded the Bishop of Newcastle to start with him from
Sydney on a missionary cruise in his little yacht to New
Caledonia, the New Hebrides, the Loyalty, and other
islands in his then extensive diocese. Like ourselves they
put in at the Bay of Islands. The Bishop of New Zealand
wished to show his brother of Newcastle a little of the
country, and for that purpose proposed to take him
to a distant station on the other side of this very
river. The ground was soft and boggy, as we had found it,
and the Bishop of Newcastle had never been accustomed to
rough it in such a country as this. He could ride his 50
miles a day in his own diocese, but his hardy brother always
walked, and besides there were no hors, s to be had here.
Always neat and spruce in his dress, looking as if he had
just come out of a bandbox, and afraid like a cat to wet
his feet ; he picked his way most carefully and delicately,
unlike his brother bishop who tramped on through thick
and through thin, till at last they came to the river side.
The river was swollen with the heavy rain which had been
pouring down in torrents for some days previously, and he
of Newcastle looked awfully puzzled, wondering how they
were to cross—neither bridge nor ford being visible in any
direction. He was still further puzzled when he saw the
Bishop of New Zealand, without a word, deliberately taking
off shoes, leggings, stockings, and, last of all, his breeches•
In reply to his. brother Bishop's "whatever next P" he
coolly collected his various articles of dress, and stepped into
the river up to his apron, calling out as he did so, NOW
then, Newcastle, off with your breeks, and follow your
leader I" There was no help for it, as there was no other
means of crossing the river, and the good bishop:invariably
refused to be carried across by any of his Maori suite, on the
ground that it was not right to treat such noble felloWS
