This morning at gun fire the principal competition
of the meeting commenced, and before night the 200
aids range of the first stage of the Queen's prize
will be finished. There are no prizes attached to
this range, nor from the results can any idea be got
of likely winners, as it often happens that a gool
shoulder shot comes to grief at the longer ranges. The
number of competitors is over 1,800 and within a few they
will all turn up to-day. The Martin's challenge cup which
is competed for by marksmen of this year or last, is going
on nt the GOO yards IL I. K. targets.
The Lords and Commons' match is fixed for to-morrow
at three.

THE EDMUNDS SCANDAL.—The sittings of the
arbitrators has been postponed until Thursday, the 21st
of October, when the Court will sit de die in diem.
ROYAL VISIT TO LYNN.—The Lynn new dock
was opened to-day by the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The town presents au animated appearance.
Sacramento papers give long accounts of the
funeral of John C. Heenan, the " Benicia Boy," and long
accounts are given by other papers of a prize fight between
Allen and A1!Cloole, in which the former announced him-
self as an Englishmen, had no money, and therefore could
not accept the bet of $2,000 .11.‘Coole desired to force on
him, and asked for fair play. Ho then set to work, and
gave the Irish giant an awful thrashing, but it ended with
him as with Heenan in England; the mob, who bad
backed the wrong man, and were likely to lose their money,
burst into the ring and stopped the fight, just in time to
save their champion. Although it was clear 0124 Allen
was the winner, and was recognized as such, yet the re-
feree decided the fight in favour of 11‘Coole, alleging a kul
on Allen's part in attempting to gouge M'Coole —a prcceed-
ing highly improbable, considering that he was already
the victor. In fact, Allen received, at St. Louis, about the
same amount of fair play that Heenan did in his celebrated
fight with Sayers.
