TENNIS BY GAS LIGHT.—On Tuesday evening
last the Tennis Court in Morton-street, Oxford, presented
an unusual aspect. Under the able management of Mr.
Tompkins the side walls had been lit up with a brilliant
row of gas jets. The result in almost every respect was
satisfactory, and there is no doubt but that the inventive
genius of the proprietor of the court will soon find reme-
dies for any present defects. A slight shadow east by the
penthouse on the floor beneath may easily be removed by
an alteration of the jets. The present excessive glare of
light may also be intercepted by shades ; and if, as in
other courts, the floor is darkened, the contrast of the
white ball will render it far more perceptible to the eye.
The success of this novelty will reflect great credit on the
originator, and the thanks of all lovers of the
game
will be due to him. There is no reason why tennis
should not become as favourite a pastime in the evening
g
as billiards.

rROVINCIAL FINANCE.—The directors of the
Bristol and South Wales Railway Waggon Com-
pany (limited) recommend a dividend and bonus at the
rate of 12 per cent. per annum for the past half year. The
disposable balance, after providing for the depreciation
fund and carrying £l,OOO to the contingent fund, amounts
to £9,326 14s. 4d., and after payment of the dividend and
bonus a balance of £587 7s. 10d. will remain to be carried
forward. The shareholders in the Cardigan Gas and Coke
Consumers' Company have declared a dividend of 61 per
cent. for the year 1867. The Pontypridd Gas Company
have declared a dividend at the rate of 8 per cent. per
annum for the past half year. At the half-yearly meeting
of the Newport (Monmouthshire) Gas Company, held on
Monday, a dividend at the rate of 10 per cent. per artim
I was declared on Class A shares, and at the rate of perii
cent. Per 6111411,14 o %to 13 ohm*
