HARROW SCHOOL.

These sports took place with great success, and, although
athletics have been rife for years, the present is the first
year that official cards of the events to be decided have been
issued. The committee was an efficient one, and every-
thing went off—secundum artem—as follows :

100 Yards Race.—Sir W. Folkes 1, Latham, sen., 2.
Won easily.

Throwing the Cricket Ball.—Hadow (97 yds. 2 ft. 4
in.) 1.

120 Yards Hurdle Race.—Sir W. Folkes 1, Ainslie 2.
Putting the Stone.—R. Cookson (29 ft.6in.)l Graham, 2,
Broad Jump.—Cumberlege won at 18 ft. 6 in.
High Jump.—Martin won at 5 ft. 2 in.
Champion Hurdle Race. Sir W. Folkes 1, Ainslie, 2.
Small Champion Hurdle Race.—Peel 1, Graham 2.
Throwing the Hammer.—R. Cookson won at 85 ft.
Strangers' Handicap Race, 220 Yards.—Viscount Mel-
gund, 30 yards start; 1, Pricket 28, 2, beating six others.

RING'S LYNN ROYAL REGATTA.—This now popular re-
gatta will probably be held about May 24 or 25, and will
include the challenge eight, an amateur four, a pair, the
scullers' race for the championship of the Ouso by
professionals, and possibly a challenge cup for amateur
scullers.

BOAT RACE ON THE TYNE.—On Monday afternoon two
youthful amateurs named Thomas Oliver and P. Edwards
rowed a match in Clasper's open boats on the Tyne for lOs
a side, the course being from the High Level Bridge to
Waterson's Gates. Oliver got the best of the start, and
increasing his advantage, ultimately won by about 50
yards. The victor is a young and promising oarsman.

Mr. J. Turner has sold King Alfred to Mr. Reginald
Herbert, and he has gone into Mr. Rowland's stable at
Cheltenham.

THE BETTING MANIA IN FRANCE.—It seems that
acing has produced inFrance the effect it has long
ago produced in England. The mania for betting is no
longer confined to the owners of horses, their friends, and
the sperting world, where it does small harm, but it has
now spread to all classes. Lotteries have sprung up in
Paris, and every race-course is now haunted by great
omnibuses, drags, cabs, and by one vast machine instar
montis, and like a third-class carriage on wheels, where the
public—the unwashed public—chiefly lose their francs,
and even Napoleon, in "sweeps," with a preference worthy
of a more remunerative cause. The noise the proprietors
of these speculative " ambulances" make on the course is
bad enough, but that is their least evil. It is just this
class of gambling which causes the robbery of tills and
brings discredit on tho turf, which is still' considered by
many elderly women of both sexes to be frequented only
by "horse jockeys" and "blacklegs." I hope the system
will not long obtain, at least at the " Bois " and "Chan-
tilly ;" it is utterly injurious and illegitimate.—Paris Cor-
respondent.
