A RACKET MATCH FOR 11000.—Large stakes
seem on the increase in sporting circles, for we see it stated
in Bell's Lifit in London that Mr. W. Gray, of Dublin (the
challenger), and Mr. R. Foulkes, of New York, have made
a match to play at rackets for the above sum, and that
£1.25 a-side has already boon deposited in the hands of our
contemporary as stakeholder. This contest will no doubt
excite considerable interest in both hemispheres, espe-
cially amongst our American cousins, who appear nothing
loth to try their skill against all comers from the old
country.
The Standard gives the following translation from
the .tlioniteur :—‘, The year which has just ended
has been marked by great events, and although it
has been cairn and pacific, the influence of the policy
of France has not been inactive nor ineffectual.
By the mere strength of his moral ascendancy
the Emperor has powerfully contributed to the re-
storation of peace in Europe, and the nations who
had selected him as arbiter have acknowledged the

fication. In Germany the errors of 1815 have been
replaced by new ideas. All the Germanic conntries
now understand the importance of a good under-
standing with France. Distrust has been dispelled,
and prejudices of another epoch are vanishing before
a wholesome appreciation of common interests.
Austria and Italy, so long and so profoundly
divided, have arrived at a definitive reconciliation ;
the programme inaugurated by the victories of
Magenta and Solferino is now realised. Free from
the Alps to the Adriatic, the Peninsula, after having
been for centuries a subject of trouble and compe-
rf
h

a
h t
a g-
compe-
tition between the various Powers, is henceforth an
clement of concord and equilibrium. The Conven-
tion of September 15, so happily carried out, has
already produced the salutary results which had
been expected from it, and there is no illusion in
entertaining a hope that a reapprochement may at no
distant date take place between the Courts of Rome
and Italy. The evacuation of Mexico is being effected
under favourable conditions, and the United States
evince an equal desire with France to draw closer
the bonds of traditional friendship. The relations
of the Emperor's Government with all the Foreign
Powers could not be more satisfactory or more
friendly. The year 1867 is usherel in under favour-
able auspices, and the nations which are to rendez-
vous at the Paris Universal Exhibition are preparing
for that pacific contest with ides of progress and
solidarity."
