MILTIARY AND NAVAL INTELLIGENCE

The Hercules, screw, armoured iron frigate, Capt,
Lord Gilford, steamed into Portsmouth harbour on
Saturday from Spithead, and to-day will be placed
in dock to clean her hull below the water line, in
course of preparation for her trial over the mea-
sured mile and at sea.

The Fox, screw storeship, Staff-Commander R.
H. Batt, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday from
the westward, to receive stores from tho dockyard
for conveyance to the eastward.

Port-Admiral Sir Win. F. Martin returned from
leave of absence on Saturday, and rehoisted his flag
on board the Royal Adelaide, 26, George W.
Preedy, C. 8., in Hamoaze.
It is rumoured at Plymouth that the paddle-
wheel despatch vessel Helicon, Commander Ed-
ward Field, now in the Sound, will take out Vice-
Admiral Sir Sydney C. Dacres, K.C.B. (a Lord
Commissioner of the Admiralty), to supersede
Vice-Admiral the Right Hon. Lord Clarence E.
Paget, C. 8., in command of the flagship Cale-
donia, 30, Capt. Alan H. Gardner, in the Mediter-
ranean. It is also rumoured that Admiral George
Elliot will supersede Rear-Admiral F. K. Warden,
C. 8., of the Minotaur, 34, Capt. James G. Goode-
nough.

We have to announce the sudden death of Major-
General Sir W. J. Ridley, on Friday night, after
leaving town for Norfolk. The late General was
the fourth son of Sir William, third Baronet, by
his wife Laura, youngest daughter of Mr. George
Hawkins. He was born in 1817, and entered the
Scots Fusilier Guards as Ensign and Lieutenant in
June, 1835. He subsequently obtained the rank
of Lieutenant and Captain, May 21, 1839 ; Captain
and Lieutenant-Colonel, November 24, 1818 ;
Colonel, November 28, 1851. Ile served in the
Eastern campaign of 1854. He had his horse shot
at the battle of the Alma, and received the medal
and clasp of the Order of the Mejidie and the
Turkish medal. General Ridley, after the resigna-
tion of Sir Henry Storks, was temporarily in com-
mand of the troops at Malta. In October, 1863,
he was appointed Major-General Commanding the
let Brigade at Malta, and after filling that office
for the customary period—five years—he had just
returned home, and reported himself at the Horse
Guards, before his sudden death. The deceased
General is much lamented by the officers and others
connected with the Soto Fusilier Gordo.

GREAT BOAT RACE BEYIVEEN KELLY
:AND SADLER

The following appeared in our Latest Edition of yesterday
evening:—

Au undecided race, through a foul, a row over
by one of the competitors on the following day,
and a subsequent appeal to a court of law proceed-
ings, which are still pending, introduced Henry
Kelley, of Fulham, and James Sadler, of Surbiton,
to the notice of our sporting readers, in Novem-
ber last year. This day (Tuesday) they again
made their bow to the public, but with this
material alteration in the features of the case. In
November last they rowed for the championship,
but to-day it was for the stake of £4OO alone, In
1867 they were the two best men afloat, Kelley
then holding the championship, but in 1868 a
mightier than he aspired to it, and on the 17th ult.
the—until three months ago almost unknown—
novice, James 11,:nforth, of Newcastle, bore off the
pdin with triumph. That race and the present were
rnadealmost contemporaneously, and had the fortunes
of the 17th been different this would, in fact, have
been the championship.
Lirge sums had been lai I on the double event,
and the former struggle and its attendant conse-
c uences, together with the high conflict of opinion
as to which was the better man, gave an increased
zest to the present race. Kelly, although defeated a
fortnight ago, had shown such fine condition and
pace that that defeat saved but to strengthen the
hopes of his friends ; while Sadler, who had rowed
him before, was held to be in admirable and hopeful
condition. The stake, as we have said before, was
£4OO, and the course from Putney to Mortlake.

The weather was all that could be desired, and
a fine course was kept by the Thames Conservancy
and police combined. Mr. John Ireland was the
sole umpire, and at four minutes to three they both
appeared at the stations, two boats moored. Kelley
was the favourite, and had the choice of stations.
They left the mark together, Kelley soon taking
a lead of a quarter of a length, which he held
at a great pace to the London Boat-house, where
Sadler came up fast, and was nearly level at the
Dung-wharf ; thence to Rose-cottage they so re-
mained, and then Kelley tiring, Sadler got in front
at the Soapworks, only, however, a few feet, as he
came away at a tremendous pace, and looked like
winning ; but the turning point had arrived, for
Kelley once more lay to his work, and they fouled
slightly. It was no impediment, however, to either.
Slowly, yet surely, as they approached Hammer-
smith-bridge, the veteran made another splendid
spurt, and passed under the bridge two feet in
front. After this he got away gradually, and won
by four lengths. Time, 4 min. 24 sec.j
Time by Benson's chronograph, 23 min. 23fr sec.
