The executive committee have much satisfaction in being
enabled to inform the members that the first portion of the
above property, divided into 113 plots, was entirely dis-
posed of within such a short period as to justify the board
in announcing a second allotment at once, the result of
which has been a very large sale of the 181 plots on the
second plan, which has frontages to Wandsworth-common.
Bolingbroke House, with the grounds, will be reserved for
the present. No time will be, however, lost in the opening
up of the estate by the making of five new roads, connect-
ing the Battersea-rise with Wandsworth-common. The
Clapham Junction Estate, from its extent and position, is
adapted for sites to erect houses thereon to suit all classes
of the community. The remaining allotments fcr the pre-
sent financial year will be Holloway Estate, on Thursday,
the 16th inst. ; the Waterslade Estate, Red-hill, on the
24th ; and the Northampton Estate, on the 19th of August.
These three properties will be the last allotted by the so
ciety, the business of which at Michaelmas will be con-
fined to advances under the Benefit Building Acts, whilst
the dealings in land will be carried on at the same offices
by the United Land Company (Limited), which has com-
menced operations in purchasing estates. Considerable
sales have taken place on the St. Margaret's Estates, the
building on which is progressing. There are now but a
few plots remaining, with frontages to the ornamental
gardens, to be disposed of. The land left on hand on the
Rochampton and Putney-heath Estates is now confined to
a few plots. The roads on the Malvern Link and Sandoz=.•u
(Isle of Wight) Estates have boon completed. It is ex-
pected that the works on the fourth portion of the Round
Hill Estate, Brighton, on the second portion of the Forest
Gate Estate, and the Finchley Estate, No. 2, will all be
completed before the close of tho year. The moinbm.s of
the Conservative Land Society have invested largely in
the United Laud Company (Limited) since the last report
of the executive committee, which announced that inves-
tors might join both society and company if they thought
fit, the liability in both cases being confined to the amount
of the shares taken. The members of the Conservative
Land Society will continue to have the option of taking
shares in the United Land Company (Limited). The Con-
servative Land Society will be enabled, on the termination
of its 16th year, to extend largely the building advance
business, and thus develope more rapidly the estates which
will be in the hands of the United Land Company
(Limited), and the working of the two on the co-operative
principle will promote the prosperity of both associations.

ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The last exami-
nation of candidates for the membership of this in-
stitution for the present session will bo held on the 18th
inst., and already, owing to the new regulation requiring
all students to undergo an additional examination in medi-
cine, unless they should already have done so, which comes
into operation in October next, the number of gentlemen
who have entered their names is considerably in excess of
former periods.

THE CASE OF SERGEANT FLERON.—The Nord

VA.RD CLASS REGATTA took place on Monday, June
15. The class races of the Harvard University were
rowed in presence of 5,000 Bostonians and others, who
filled the grounds of the Alma Mater. Four boats entered
—viz., the Scientific and Law School, the Juniors, Sopho-
mores, and Freshmen. In the betting, odds were offered
freely on the Sophomores against the field, with but few
takers. Lyman, the stroke of the Freshmen, had injured
his hand the day before the race, making things look blue
for that crew. Will Moine, the well-known college
athlete, acted as starter. At the first send-off the Junior
stroke broke his oar, and the boats were recalled. On the
second start the Sophs took the lead, Freshmen second,
Juniors third, and Scientific.; last; but the distance be-
tween the first and last was not more than a length. At
the end of the first half-mile tne Scientific took the thiad
place, and at the end of the first mile took second,
the Sophomores also passing the Juniors, who had
got ahead of then nearly. The Freshmen now ha 1
the lead, and turned the turning sake, t eking
the inside track. Now a tight struggle ensued,
but the Freshmen had pluck to spare, and came
home with a wild cheer, winning by fifteen and a half
seconds to the surprise of all. The following are 'the
names of the crews, an I the tini3 inakie by them :—Scien-
