THE PISTON FREEZING MACHINE
(ASH'S PATENT) is rapidly becoming a part of the
cuisine of every gentleman's establishment, became it is by
far the quickest, most economical, and easy method of
freezing known. It is only by the piston process that des-
eert ices, iced puddings, itc., can be made at once in moulds,
ready for table (avoiding the double operation of freezing and
moulding afterwards). It is the very best apparatus for
icing wines, and produces the purest block Me. Its complete
success, when used with the chemical freezing powders (in
lieu of ice) in hot climate', on board ship, etc., is testified by
reference to patrons in nearly every part of the world. Price
from 50s. each. A descriptive pamphlet (containing valuable
recipes) free per post for 13 stamps. Price lists gratis.—

Matters run so smoothly at Wimbledon that the
existence of this gigantic refreshMent department
, has ceased to be matter of wonder ; but it certainly
is not the least striking among the many remark-
able features at Wimbledon that an enterprising
caterer should find it worth his while to travel all
the way from Manchester, with a staff of over 100
persons, and merely for the sake of such profit as he
can realise in a fortnight to erect on Wimbledon-
common an ornamental edifice containing dining
and refreshment-rooms capable of accommodating
500 or 600 persons easily ; and, what is not less ex-
traordinary, though thousands of persons belonging
to every grade have been dependent a whole fort-
night on Mr. Jennison, at the end of that time no
complaints are recorded against his establishment.
_ _

Of another department, by no means equally at-
tractive, but quite as important, it is right to speak
in terms of praise. In consequence of what occurred
last year the Council felt it necessary to take extra
medical precautions at the present meeting, and the
hospital arrangements, organized and superintended
by Surgeon-Major Wyatt, of the Guards, were most
efficient.

For some hours yesterday Col. Clark Kennedy
and Captain Mildmay were occupied in measuring
the thousands of cartons pierced at the Swiss ranges,
with the view of ascertaining the most central shot.
The relative merits of the shot holes are determined
by means of an instrument of great precision exhibit-
ing differences as minute as the thousandth part of
an inch. And the interest attaching to the opera-
tion of measuring these pieces of pasteboard may be
gathered from the fact that the distribution of £470,
in amounts varying from £5O to £5, is governed by
the verdict of this unerring index. The £5O prize
for the most central shot was awarded to Mr. Wm.
Wells, who on a recent occasion nearly became one
of the representatives of Peterborough. In the case
of a minor prize-winner a curious circumstance oc-
curred. In this contest the object is to get as many
cartons as possible, and competitors go on shooting
without knowing anthing of the character of their
shots, beyond the fact that so many cartons pierced
by them were taken down at the other end of the
range, and preserved for examination by the Coun-
cil. It turned out that one gentleman made two
cartons of merit so exactly equal that he had " tied"
himself for the prize to which he became entitled.
The contest for the photographic series excited
greatlinterest, the album value £5O, annually given by
Mr. Herbert Watkins, and containing photographs
selected for their relation to rifle shooting and to the
Volunteer service, being accounted by prize-winners
one of the most interesting souvenirs of Wimbledon
that they can carry off. Mr. Watkins aims chiefly
at perpetuating what may be called the historic
groups of Wimbledon, and his gallery of celebrities
some years hence will possess considerable value.
Mr. Vernon Heath chooses rather to reproduce the
natural features of Wimbledon, and some of his
photographs of the wilder portions of the Common
are admirable studies of nature, and very, superior
to ordinary photographs of the kind. Several of the
views taken by him during the present meeting were
exhibited yesterday. A favourite subject in the
collection was the firing point for the " Horatio
Ross" prize.

The Council yesterday were called upon to enter-
tain rather a critical point—namely, whether Mr.
E. Ross was in strictness entitled to the Enfield
Wimbledon Cup, won by him a day or two ago.
The conditions of that match were as follow's
" The Enfield' Wimbledon Cup, value £lOO ; restricted
to the winners ofi first prizes of the value of .£2O and up-
wards in Enfield Rifle', competitions, at any of the
Wimbledon meetings previous to 1865, and highest scorer
in International Enfield Match and Oxford and Cambridge
Challenge Plate in 1861."

Mr. Ross's was the highest score in the Oxford and
Cambridge match, not in 1864, but in 1865, and the
question arose whether thin was sufficient qualifi-
cation. The intention in forming the rule no doubt
was to apply the date 1864 to the International
Enfield Match, first shot in that year, the Univer-
sity Challenge Plate being a competition senior in
point of time. The wording of the condition, how-
ever, is unmistakable, and attention having been
called to the matter the Council were confronted
with the difficulty. Owing to the pressure of other
business, a meeting could not well assemble till a
late hour, and the decision at which the members
finally arrived did not transpire last evening.
The following is the list of prizes not already re-
ferred to won at Wimbledon yesterday :
