with the Mayor at the Pavilion. The Princess
had previously watched the sham-fight from the
racecourse.

The entire forces on both sides resumed their
battle amidst a heavy shower of rain, and the fight
waxed fast and furious as the tide of battle rolled
towards the town. The batteries were in full work,
the big guns answering each other from hill to hill ;
and the firing of the troops was admirably sustained.
Squares were formed to receive imaginary cavalry,
and just as everybody was looking for the proper
denouement, in which virtue is rewarded and vice
duly punished, the volunteers were seen marching
home in various directions. It had got so late that

was felt necessary to curtail the movements.

There were several small accidents, but none, it
is hoped, of a serious nature. One man had his
cheek blown off with a ramrod, others were scorched

in the face by comrades, who persisted in firing
with fixed bayonets, and au old man, in falling,
broke his leg. All these cases were attended to by
the surgeon. It was said that one of the volunteers,
who appeared to be a lunatic, had acknowledged he
was a Fenian, and used threatening language to-
wards the Prince of Wales. He was secured, and
his arms taken away.

The railway company on the whole performed its
important part well, but some of the return
arrangements showed how greatly more accommo-
dation is required.

With reference to this subject we take the oppor-
tunity of correcting a statement made yesterday on
local authority, that the South Eastern Railway
Company had refused the Brighton Company the
loan of their State carriage. Mr. Eborall, the
obliging general manager of the former company,
writes to us :—•

" We were never asked to lend our State crrriage,
or we would have gladly done so. On occasions
like the review at Brighton railway companies are
in duty bound to assist each other in every way that
may be practicable, •and the Brighton Company
have already 88 carriages and 20 horse-boxes be-
longing to this company to enable them to conduct
the increased traffic; and on all previous occasions
they have borrowed carriages for the purpose."

A GRAND DAY WITH THE PRINCE OR
WALES'S HARRIERS.

Saturday being the last day of the season with
this celebrated pack, the meet was fixed at Mr.
Aldridge's farm, Cippenham Court. His Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales and his Royal High-
ness the Prince of Hohenlohe arrived on horseback,
attended by Colonel Keppel. The Princess of Wales
arrived at the same time in one of the pony car-
riage and pair, accompanied by the Hon. Mrs. F:
Stonor. Their Royal Highnesses arrived on the
ground shortly after 12, by which time there was
one of the largest and most fashionable fields of the
season, among whom we noticed the Earl of Cork,
Master of the Royal Buckhounds ; Major-General
Hood, Lord and Lady Charles Kerr, Colonel Ewart,
Capt. Ewart, Lord Skelmersdale, Hon. H. Burke,
Colonel Randolph, Captain H. Seymour, Miss Sey-
mour, Captain Greville, Seeker, Esq., Captain
Garrett, Messrs. Chater, Aldridge, Cantrell, Pullin,
Pyecroft, Fowler, Grant, &c. Shortly afterwards
the famous deer " Lily" was turned out on a piece
of wheat on the other side of the Great Western line
towards Farnham Royal. After 20 minutes' law
the hounds were laid on the scent, and went away
for the Two-mile Brook, keeping Farnham to the
right, away to Burnham Beeches, back to Farnham,
Baylis's Farm, crossed the Stoke roads parallel to
the line, to Langley Park, from thence to Den-
ham, and was taken in a meadow near the canal,
after two hours and three-quartera' dodging run.

PEDESTRIANISM.

BROMPT ON.

Owing to the inclemency of the weather on Saturday
there was but a small attendance at the West London
Cricket-ground to witness the concluding heats of Messrs.
Rogers and Jones's 225 yards handicap.
First Heat—Cameron, 79 yards start, won easily by three
yards ; H. A. L., 82, second. Waghorn, 75, did not start.
Second Heat—Carter's Novice, 79, came in first by six
inches; Hicks, 77, second ; Ford, 70, being left on the
mark; but after some consultation with the starter the
referee decided that it should be run over again. In the
second trial Carter's Novice won by ono foot ; Hicks, 77,
second; one foot behind the latter came Ford, who was
third.

Third Heat—This was won by Blandford, 74, who came
in first by five yards; Oliver, 77, being second ; Hurst, 72,
falling 150 yards from the tape.
Fourth Heat—An even start was effected, but in the end
Munns, 76, breasted the tape first by three yards; Drew's
Novice, 75, second.
Final Heat—Cameron, 79, Carter's Novice, 79, Bland-
ford, 74, and Munns, 76, now came to their respective
marks to run off for the final. After one false start, all
except Cameron being being put back one yard, they got
off. It was a splendid race for all the distance. Cameron,
gradually breaking away, won by one yard ; it was a dead
heat for second place between Carter's Novice and Bland-
ford, but it was afterwards agreed that the second and
third prizes should be divided between.
