"WHEN SIIALL WE THREE MEET' AGAIN ?"

TO THE EDITOICOT THE SUN.

Sin,—I am sure Mr. Chaplin's protest against tho infor-
mality of the decision regarding the " Soiled Dove" bets
will be received with satisfaction by the majority of the
members of Tattersall's and the public generally. That
the quorum should be five appears clear enough, and per-
haps Admiral Rous will explain why he became a party to
this incompetent tribunal, when it is well known that a
strong opinion exists in favour of applying to this case the
celebrated rule and axiom, "If you cannot win you cannot
lose."-1 enclose my card, and remain, Sir, your obedient
servant, C. L. S.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT RACE

• OXFORD, Saturday Evening.
The Oxford crew, steered by their regular coxswain Mr.
C. W. R. Tottenham, started hence this afternoon at two
o'clock, and took a long sweat to Wallingford, a distance
of 21 tulles, whore -they diawl„and,:tettuned tcalxfarti by
train. The position of the meu remained unaltered on
Monday last, but much dissatisfaction exists here as to the
.merits of some of them, there being in the estimation of
good judges one or two in the boat not up to their work ;
in fact the odds have so much changed that instead of 6
to 4 being offered on the " Sons of the Isis," slight odds
are asked for the other way. The Oxonians will leave
Oxford in about a fortnight's time, and will have a good
fortnight's practice on the Thames. The new boat built
for Cambridge by Messrs. Salter has bean completed and
forwarded to its destination, but the new Oxford boat is
still on the stocks. The following are the names and
weights of the Oxford crow.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BILLIARD

~~~~~

0 XFORD, Saturday.

A great trial double match of 500 up between Messrs.
W. 11. W. Rodgers, of Exeter College, the winner of the
Oxford and Cambridge single match last year, anal Mr. E.
Watts-Russell, of Christ Church, his partner ; and Mr. W.
E. Stokes, of the Cocoatree Billiard Club, St. James's, Lon
don, a former Oxford champion, and Mr. R. D. Walker, of
Southgate, was played at Oxford this afternoon, in the
presence of a large number of 'University men. The old
ones went off with the lead, and had a manifest advantage
until Mr. Rodgers got in and made a splendid break of 45,
and the game was shortly afterwards called 113 all. From
this period it was hotly contested, each side leading alter-
nately until the last 100, when both of the young Oxonians
made several fine breaks, and eventually won by 66 points
amidst great applause. The winners will have the honour
of representing Oxford in the approaching inter-University
matches, which we understand will be played as usual at
St. James's Hall, on the Friday and Saturday evenings of
the boat-race week, Mr. Rodgers, the recent winner of the
Oxford University cues, representing the "dark blue" in
the single match.

MISS BERRY GREENING'S SAIURDAY
NIGHT NA7IONAL CONCERTS.

This lady gave the second of her "National Concerts" on
Saturday evening at St. James's Hall, Regent-street, and
the hall was well filled in all parts. This Was distinguished
as the "Second (Irish) National Concert ;" conductor, Mr.
Ganz. The entertainments commenced with an overture
on Irish melodies by the Coldstream Guards' band; con-
ductor, Mr. F. Godfrey. The programme included 16 sub-
jects of vocalisation, which were nearly all executed to the
delight of the audience. The general instrumental arrange-
ments included a grand selection :—" The Lily of Killar-
ney," Bmedict, with solos for trombone, euphonium, cla-
rionet, and cornet, by Messrs.
Williams, Darnl e
and. Reynolds. Among the gems of the evening were Miset,
ss
Berry Greening's rendering of "Nora Creina," which was
loudly applauded. Moore's popular melody,
" Te harp
that once through Tara's halls," was charmingl h
y given by
Miss Julia Derby, and was encored ; who then sang " The
Minstrel Boy," and was greeted with tutnultuous applause.
The favourite song of "The Irish Emigrant" was given
with much expression by Miss Berry
se. Greening, s
band the
effort was met with unbounded applau Lover'allad,
"Barney O'Rea," was sung by desire by Miss Berry Green-
ing, and captivated the audience. Indeed had poor Sam
Lover been present he would have had a rich treat in
hoaxing bis own composition so charmingly portrayed. The
"Last rose of summer" was equally well given by the fair
artiste. All tho other subjects put forth in the programme
elicited (as they deserved) the warmest applause, including
as it did many Irish and national melodies. A great number
of the Irish Rifles were present in full-dress uniform, and
presented a very martial appearance. The entertainment
was well received throughout, the only interruption being
that of genuine applause.

Mr. Thomas Parry was elected on Saturday,
without opposition, for the borough of Boston, in the place
of Mr. Staniland, who has retired. As both Mr. Staniland
and Mr. Parry are Liberals, no change in the position of
parties is made by this election.
A man named Willis, who was in charge of a cart
in Levenshulme, was stabbed in the neck on Friday night
by an Irishman named Macarty, who, it is alleged, is a
Fenian. Willis was taken to the Manchester Infirmary,
and was visited by a magistrate on Saturday for the pur-
-1 pose of taking his deposition, but he was too ill to be dis-
turbed, and he died yesterday morning. Macarty, who is
in custody, will be taken before the magistrates to-
morro .v, on a charge of wilful murder.
A melancholy occurrence took place at Wheatley
Bottom, near Halifax, on Saturday night. A wool ware-
houseman, named Whitaker, after taking poison, adminis-
tered a quantity to his three children. The father died in
a short time, but the children are expected to room
