CORK HARBOUR REGATTA. UEEN STOWN, July 15.--
QUEEN'S CUP. —Tbe yactrejthat started for this race did
not return last night till after nine o'clock, ea that it was
no race. They were to have started this day at 12, but
there was no wind, so it is postponed again until to-
morrow. The prevailing opinion amongst the English
yacht owners is that the Queen's Cup will not be given
at all at this regatta, as the Kinsale regatta commences
to-morrow, and the Dublin one takes place on the 21st
and 221.

MATRICULATION EXAMINATION. LONDON UNIVER-
SITY. —ln the first division the followiog gentlemen
passed : —J. 11. Armstrong, C. J. Culligeortb, J. F.
Hall, and S. Neigh ; and in the second division, G. Sar-
gent— all from Wepley College, Sheffield.
THE Moons. —The Ayr Advertiser says :—From per-
sonal inspection of a good breadth of moor grounds, and
from reports by those in charge of game, we are dir-
posed to come to the conclusion that the sport this sea•
eon will be better than for some years past. Of grouse
there are a few barren birds, tut in general there are
good covies—eight, exclusive of the parent bird, beinr
not uncommon. There are 914) gocd broods of black
game ; but we saw a much larger proportion than
usual of hens without broods. NN e do not agree
with the pretty general conclusion that these are
for the most part barren birds. They are chiefly to
be founi where hoodie crows are not killed down, or
near villages and public roads where boys are equally
destructive in robbing nests. Oa moors which have been
protected, however, we think there will be good sport.
Some of the young grouse are so strong on the wing as to
be scarcely distinguishable fron! the old ones, and will be
able to give the sportsman a wide berth on the 12' .of
of
August. Partridges are also plentiful. On low grounds
the reports of the stock of pheasants differ. In some
quarters they are said to be abundant ' . in others, the
a
broods are very defsc've. Partridges plentiful ; and
hares a good stock, where protected. On the whole the
sport in the coming season is likely to be-above average,
