WESTMINSTER.

DEALING WITH PAROCHIAL OUTFITTERS.--TwO
hale, hearty, young fellows, giving the names of
Johnson and Hill, who presented a very clean and
chaste appearance in two new tourist's suits of
striped canvass, of rather extensive dimensions, and
unadorned with any superfluity of buttons or trim-
mings, were charged with having compelled the
parish of St. Margaret's, Westminster, to supply
the same in lieu of clothing which they had de-
molished.

Thomas lialerman, superintendent of the casual
ward, said that the defendants came in at five last
evening for a night's lodging. After supping they
went to bed, where he found them sitting up this
morning in a state of nudity. They had destroyed
all the clothing in which they came there.
Defendants said they had torn it up because it
was dirty.

Inspector Arnold said that it was evident this
was not the first time defendants had done this.
When they applied to him last night for the order
for admission, he remarked that they had parish
clothing on, such as is given when the others are de-
stroyed. He asked them what they got for that,
when one said twenty-one days, and the other
twenty-eight days, and added that it was at Brom-
ley, in Kent.

Mr. Selfe said he should not give them so much,
because he understood that for fourteen days the
punishment would be greater, as up to that term
of imprisonment the diet was more gruelly.
Committed for fourteen days.

DONCASTER SUMMER MEETING.
THURSDAY.

In striking contrast with the high pressure ex-
citement of the St. Leger-day, the proceedings of
Thursday were very tame and spiritless, the only
features of the programme that created more than
a passing interest being the Portland Plate and the
New Two-Year- Old Stakes, a Sweepstakes of 10
sovs., with 200 added. The latter is now fairly en-
titled to take rank among the more important 2-yr-
old events of the season, but on the present occa-
sion the withdrawal of Belladrum in favour of his
stable companion, Crocus, detracted materially
from the interest of the contest. In the absence of
Mr. Merry's Derby crack his old opponent, Rysh-
worth, was made a hot favourite at 5 to 4, Crocus
being next in demand at 3 to 1 ; but both were un-
expectedly bowled over by the outsider Thorwald-
sen, who, though compelled to come outside his
horses at the bend, fairly collared Crocus at
the half-distance, and won cleverly from Mr.
Merry's filly by three-quarters of a length. The
favourite, who gave way on entering the straight,
finished a bad third. After the race 25 to 1 was
taken about the winner for the Derby, and the same
price offered against Ryshworth without eliciting
a response.

Sixteen competitors sported silk fDr the Portland
Plate, including lierwit, Pericles, Tibthorpe, Last
Rose of Summer, Timaru, the Faun. &c. The
betting underwent numerous fluctuations, but at
the close Hermit, in the face of his impost of 9st.
41b., was made the favourite at 2 to 1, a point
more being laid against Last Rose of Summer.
The winner, however, turned up most unexpectedly
in Lady Zetland, who started at the outside price
of 25 to 1, and won cleverly at the finish by a
length. Pericles, who made all the running, was
second, and Timaru third, a neck only separating
the pair.

The Badminton Handicap brought to the post a
field of five out of the 16 coloured on the card, and
resulted in an easy victory for Laneret, who, not-
withstanding his impost of Bst. 111 b., landed the
odds of 6to 5 laid on him in gallant style, Lady
Henriette and Ritualist finishing respectively se-
cond and third.

The Eglinton Stakes was reduced to a match be-
tween Lord Hawthorn and Minaret, the latter,
though the non-favourite, winning very easily at
the finish. Blue Gown was also entered for this
race, but did not appear in the paddock. It subse-
quently transpired that he had left for Kiugsclere
by an early train in the morning.

Geant des Batailles walked over for the Zetland
Stakes, and Charnwood went through a similar
ceremony for the Scarborough Stakes, Mr. Pryor
declining the contest with Ritualist in each case.

The weather was beautifully fine, and the Ring
tolerably well patronised ; but the attendance of
the general public was extremely meagre, even for
an " off-day."

Ritualist was the first away, and, with Cotytto and Sun-
stroke nearly abreast, came on with the running to the
bend. Here they were joined by Laneret, who took a
clear lead at the distance and won in a canter by a length
and a half. Lady Henrietta, who ran through her horses
at the Stand, finished a neck in advance of Ritualist, the
latter having a similar advantage over Sunstroke. The
other two were beaten off.

wake were Thorvraldsen, Night Jar, and Walmer, Bro-
ther to Shibboleth end Apemantus being in the extreme
rear. They ran without any material change to the bend
when Dryad gave way, and her place was taken up by
Crocus, who came on slightly in advance of the favourite
and Lady Dewhurst, the latter lying on the inside, with
Thorwaldsen wide on their right. On reaching the Stand
Osborne brought up the last-named, and having his horses
immediately in difficulties, quitted them without an effort,
and won easily by three parts of a length ; Rysh worth
finished a bad third ; Lady Dewhurst was fourth, Dryad
fifth, Night Jar sixth, and Walmer next ; the others were
beaten off.

whinnie.

After a long delay at the pest they quitted the starter
nearly in a line, and ran so to the distance, where Rhodo-
dendron obtained a slight advantage of Barcelona, J)al-
whinnie, and the favourite, the four running locked to-
gether to the end ; the former winning a splendid rac..., by
a head, a similar distance separating the second and third,
the latter defeating the Blackbird filly by a similar dis-
tance. Odessa was three lengths in the roar. The win-
ner was sold to M. Cavelerio for 210 guineas.

100 to 6 each agst Mysotis and Belphegor, 20 to 1 each
agst Pericles and Soubrette, and 23 to 1 agst Lady
Zetland.

As usual, a long delay at the post occurred through the
over anxiety of several of the light weights to get away.
At last the patience of the spectators was rewarded by the
lot getting away upon: excellent terms, with the exception
of Belphegor, who jumped round at the time, and was
left at the post When fairly under way the running was
taken up by Pericles, next the rails, closely followed by
Tibthorpe, Lady Rosehill, Caup d'Eclat, and Hermit, to
whom succeeded The Faun, Lady Zetland, Timaru, and
the Last Rose of Summer in a body, Hermitage, with
Prince George and Landscape, heading the next division.
In these positions they remained until the distance was
reached, when Lady Zetland with Timaru quitted their
rearward positions and joined Pericles at the Stand ; but
in a few strides further Mr Feaster's mare quitted Pericles
and won very easily by a length ; Timaru was third, close
up; Coup d'Eclat fourth, close up, with whom was Hermit
fifth, Tibthorpe sixth, Last Rose of Summer seventh, and
The Faun next. The others were widely spread, and
pulling up as they passed the post.

2HE TVRECK WV THE IRISH COAST.

Further particulars have been received relative
to the wreck of the ship R. H. Tucker, 1,100 tons,
of Wisconsin, U.S., on the Blackwater Bank off the
coast of Wexford. It appears that, as soon as the
intelligence of the stranding of the vessel was re-
ceived on the morning of the Bth inst., the lifeboats
of the National Lifeboat Institution stationed at
Rosslare, Cahore, and Courtown were launched
to her assistance, and proceeded to the
Sandbank. The Rosslare boat went out in
tow of a steamer, and brought ashore
the captain's wife, mother, sister, and child, and
the ship's steward, who were taken off the vessel by
the Cahore lifeboat. It was blowing a severe gale
at the time, accompanied by a very heavy sea. The
coastguard galley, from Morris Castle station, the
nearest to the spot, had arrived first at the wreck,
but she at once returned to the shore with a tele-
graphic message, leaving the chief boatman of the
coastguard on board. The Cahore lifeboat on
reaching the vessel was requested to re-
main by her, and the crew assisted to
lighten her by throwing overboard some of
the cargo, and in this they were aided by the crew
of the Courtown lifeboat. After a short time this
was found to be useless, the wind and sea increas-
ing and the ship labouring heavily ; the lifeboat-
men therefore returned to their boats, and eight of
the vessel's crew were also taken into the Cahore life-
boat, when a tremendous sea struck her and covered
all, so that for a time it was actually thought the
lifeboat had gone down, but she behaved nobly,
and very speedily emptied herself of water.
Still she was much damaged, and it was thought
advisable for the safety of all to cut her adrift,
which was done. An attempt was afterwards made
to regain the ship, the coxswain of the lifeboat
being on board her, but the crew were unable to
do so, and the boat anchored about 400 yards away.
As the Courtown lifeboat was then seen to be
getting up alongside it was concluded she would
be able to rescue the remainder of those on board
the R. H. Tucker, and the Cahore boat therefore
returned to the shore and was beached at Black-
water. The Courtown boat remained along-
side at the request of the master. About two
hours afterwards the vessel caught fire and the
lifeboat was then hauled alongside again, and as
there was no chance then of saving the ship took
off the fourteen persons left on board, consisting of
the master, first and second officers, eight of the
crew, the coxswain of the Cahore lifeboat, the chief
boatman of coast guard, and another man. When
the lifeboat got inside the bank, she was anchored
to see if the vessel would be totally consumed,
and shortly afterwards the masts fell, and
the ship being all in flames the lifeboat came
ashore, all being safely landed. Had it not been
for this lifeboat, it is probable that the
poor fellows would have perished, as there were no
other boats alongside when the vessel took fire.
The lifeboatmen appear to have behaved in a
most gallant manner in this service, and they speak
most highly of the admirable behaviour of the life-
boats in the fearful weather they experienced, and
state that they have the greatest confidence in them.
The Curracloe Coastguard boat had attempted to
reach the wreck but failed to do so, and in return-
ing ashore she was unfortunately capsized and four
men drowned.
