CRICKET.—OXFORD UNIVERSITY V. CAMBRIDGE
UNIVERSITY.—At Lord's Ground yesterday, with
one wicket down for three runs, Oxford.resumed their inn-
ings from the previous evening, having 68 to get to win.
Mr. Walker being the " not out," with a single, was joined
by Mr. Inge. Mr. Walker marked eight singles when he
gave a chance to Mr. Tuck off Mr, Helm ; two wickets and
41 runs. Mr. Evans then went to the wicket, and such
was the hitting of Mr, Inge that the score was soon made
to rise, and eventually the two batsmn preserved their
wickets till the game was won, Mr. Inge making the win-
ning hit. Oxford thus won by eight wickets to go down.
THE AUSTRIAN EMBASSY.—The Countess d'Ap-
ponyi gave a brilliant bull last night, at Chandos-
house, to a numerous and brilliant circle of the leading
members of the Corps D!plomatique and the principal aris-
tocracy. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam-
bridge and the Princess Mary, attended by Capt. C. Cust,
arrived at half-past 11 o'clock, and were received by his
Excellency Count d'Apponyi and several of the members
of the Embassy. Their Serene Highnesses Prince and
Princess Edward of Saxe-Weimar and her Highness the
Princess Obrenovich were among the visitors.
THAMES BOATING—On Saturday last a new de-
scription of monster rowing-boat appeared on the
Thames. It is the property of Captain Maudsley, late No.
5 Battery, 3d Middlesex Artillery Volunteers, which bat-
tery having resigned, have formed themselves into a club
under the title of the Battery Boat Club. The boat (the
Recruit) launched on Saturday from the National Boat
Building Company's yard, East Greenwich, is 32ft long,
6ft 6in beam, and rows 14 oars double-banked. She is a fine
model, and was rowed from East Greenwich to Cremorne
by 12 of the club with the greatest ease. On Saturday
week, the 4th of July, a larger boat (the Eagle), 72ft long,
7ft beam, and rowing 24 oars, double-banked, will be
launched from the same establishment, and will be rowed
over the same water by 24 of the club (the Recruit also in
attendance). She is the first craft of her kind, and
.will
carry 60 persons, and with them will draw only lit of
water. The Eagle will leave East Greenwich at seven
o'clock p.m. on Saturday week next, July 4, for West-
minster. _ _

A BASE SUBTERFUGE OF THE ENEMY—ABOUT
THE BALLOT.---A correspondent of the Examiner
signing himself "A Member of the Reform Club," writes :
___.,l6en Lord Palmerston, with that adroitness which
marks him so great a master of the art of debate, seized
upon toe point, I can hardly say fact, that the Reform Club
had abolished the vote by ballot, of course he was glad to
catch up any stone to throw at the strong array of argu-
ments which had demolished his usual line of battle. But
what are the facts? The Reform Club took umbrage at
the tyranny of the minority, and stopped the practice of
one black ball out-voting nine. They now have placed the
elections in the hands of a select committee. That is the
simple fact, nor did objection to the Ballot-box as a mode
lection guide the decision of the Club."
