position, however, a hot bearing was discovered,
and the full-speed circles had to be abandoned; and
the programmi of the ship's trials for the day cut
down to six runs, with two boilers (one-third the
ship's boiler power), and two circles afterwards
with the same power. The runs were made as
follows :

The diameter of the circles were little over
twice the ship's length. The ship answered every
touch of her helm as quickly and sensitively as a
cutter, and her powers in this respect form a
wonderful contrast to any other of our screw
ships of war. The ship will conclude her trials
to-day.

OP yarclq, , when Cranbury took up the I running, closely

Owing to Hilly Grove and Barmaid being troublesome
at the start, tbere was considerable delay at the post. They
were, however, despatched on pretty good terms, but
Hilly Grove instantly getting into stride, was in front,
with Incitatus and Pony next, Zeloo being last off. Thu
latter quickly made up her disadvantage, and was on
terms with the leaders in the first few hundred yards.
After reaching the turn, Pony headed Hilly Grove; but,
upon arriving at the road crossing, Hilly Grove again got
the lead, and next these followed Incitatus on the right,
and Zeloo on the left. A t the distance Hilly Grove and
Pony came on together, and, after a spirited struggle, the
race ended in a dead heat; Zeloo was beaten half a length
from the pair; Incitatus was fourth, Killarney fifth, Vin-
dicta sixth, and the last two were Blue Bell and Royal
Sovereign.

Deciding Heat-11 to 10 on Pony. The two came on
abreast to the distance, where they cannoned and ran
locked together to within a few strides of home, when
Pony got his head in front, and won by a head. On re-
turning to scale, an objection was lodged against the win-
ner, which was gone into before Lord Dorchester and J.
Nicholson, Esq., who, after hearing the evidence, decided
in favour of Pony.

the stand on the outward journey, Violet next the rails,
made play slightly in front of Gibraltar, behind whom at
the head of the rear rank were The Principal and Flash in
the Pan, Vinegar Hill last. On the far side of the course
Violet incroased her lead, and Merrimac having run against
a post was pulled up, Zanker, his jockey, severely injuring
his knee. There was no other alteration in the front divi-
sion until they made the turn into the straight, where
Gibraltar and The Principal gave way to Flash in the Pan
and Vinegar Hill; Violet, however, maintained the lead to
the finish and won easily by two lengths. Vinegar Hill

AN INSULT WITTILY CHANGED INTO A COM-
PLIMENT.—ThO j)uc de Berry once in an alterca-
tion with a colonel of the Guards at Court tore off the
epaulets of his adversary, who instinctively grasped the hilt
of his sword. Fortunately, Louis XVIII. saw what
passed, and, with his wonderful presence of mind and readi-
ness, calling the colonel up to him, said :—" Colonel, my
nephew has just taken off your epaulets because he knew
that I destined for you those of a General." The Prince
in the meantime had recovered his temper, and gracefully
did his best to efface all painful recollection of the affront,
