The general character of the sports has consider-
ably improved at Beaumont. While many of the
performances of the big boys have not equalled
those of past years, the younger ones have cotue up
with rapid strides, and in one or two instances have
fairly beaten competitors several years their seniors.
Taking into consideration the respective ages the
younger boys have invariably been the pick of the
school. This year it is eminently conspicuous. The
senior high and pole jumping was a failure compared
with the junior. The two best races of the day, viz.,
the two mile and one mile handicaps, were both won
by boys under 13 years of age—the first of them ran
two miles, less GOO yards, in 12 minutes; the second,
a still finer performance, ran a mile, less 150 yards,
iu 5 minutes 40 seconds. We shall be greatly sur-
prised if these two young performers—the half-mile
winner and the first and second in the mile for the
challenge cup—are not heard of at a future day.
The one mile challenge race was a remarkably good
event, and over heavy grass the time, 5 minutes 3
seconds, was good going. Looking at the number
of big boys lounging about it was a pity there should
be so few entries for the crack race of the school.
It is, however, a consolation to find some of the
Catholic colleges waking up, and it will be really
quite animating to find young men on leaving schoo
distinguishing themselvt s in national athletic sports,
and noticeable -for something more than inferior
billiard playing in mild clubs. Beaumont and
Ampleforth should be congratulated on opening the
way to a healthier state of things. From the list
of performance::: at these t wo. colleges now before us
we see a very remark.tbla promise of great things ;
and, as we have said, it will be a matter of surprise
if some of the competitors' names do not figure con-
spicuously later on in first-class meetings. There
were many visitors on both days, who were most
hospitably entertained at the college.

THE FENIAN TRIALS.

(Continu3d from our First Edition of yesterday.)

In cross-examination by Ernest Jones the wit-
ness was severely tested as to his knowledge of
Burke in America. Did not know when he was
promoted, or under what General he served. Tlao

or May, 1863. it was about the middle or latter
part of January, 1857, that Burke sail he had been
sent from Stephens. Burke and Doran were the
first against whom he had given evidence. Could not
say agLiast how many he had given evidence. Only
two had been aciuittel. HO received nothing but
beard and clothing. Expected to receive a good
deal, for he had done the country a gre it de il of

ceive some thousands. Was receiving Fenian pay

To Mr. Pater —Saw Shaw first at Austin Gib-
