next. Every attention is being paid to improve the course,

known officials, goad sport may be expected. Earl St.

accepted the Stewardship. The direct line to Tunbridge is

now open.
G. PARSONS.—This once well-known light-weight has
taken the management of tho refreshmeut and billiard

Hastings raceslhave been abandoned for this year.

DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE.—(Tats DAY.

The annual contest for Doggett's Coat and Badge took
place this day, from the Swan, at London Bridge, to tho
Swan, at Chelsea, a course of very nearly five miles.
The following were the competitors :—'l;hontas Day,
Wapping ; Charles B. Messeng-ar, Rotherhithe ; Henry
Hero Stringer, Rotherhithe ; Thos. W. Hawkins, jun.,
Limehouse ; Alfred Egalton, Blackwall ; George Black,
Horsleydown.

There were varioue other prizes besides the bequest of
Mr. Thomas Doggett of facetious memory, amounting to
£4 17s. 9d. for the seconi youth ; £2 18s. 9(1. for the
third ; a guinea and a half for tho fourth ; and a guinea
each for the other two provided they rowed the entire
course. It is almost unnecessary to say that this is one
of the most attractive wagers upon the Thames, and one
upon NN hich a great deal of money is generally laid out.
Egalton was the "jolly young Waterman" most in re-
quest on this occasion, and next in demand to him was
Hawkins

Egalton of Blackwall was ma le a great favourite at
starting, 6 to 4 being laid ; Mr. Frederick Dards, the
bargomaster of Fishmonger's Company, was manager
for the first time, and theylstarted at a quarter past
one by pistol shot from the manager, who was
rowed by eight old Doggett's men, the stroke oar
being taken by George Henning; of Bankside. The race
needs but little description—Egalton came away imme-
diately after the start, was clear in 100 yards, and won
with great ease ; Messenger was second, Hawkins third,
and Day fourth.

WEST NORFOLK RAMS.—The annual letting of

luncheon were the Hon. T. de Grey, M.P., and Sir W.
Bagge, IMP._ _

The Hester of the Rolls is the Vacation Judge in the
latter, and Mr. Justice Hannon, on his return from circuit,
in the former.

THE NEXT REGISTRATION.—To-day (Saturday)
tho lists of voters for the next registration, as ascertained,
will be exhibited on the doors of churches and chapels.
All claims and objections must be made on or before the
25th inst.

CRICKET.—ETON AGAINST HARROW.—We have
one school-match left, and volumes might be written upon
it, even shorn as it is of older glory. Why twelve thou-
sand people come at all ; why, when they do come, they
all shout ; why, if a ball is within a yard of the wicket,
everybody bawls " bowled ;" and why the batter, who
hits round in empty space and nearly knocks his stumps
and the hostile wicket-keeper over in one fell blow, is
always declared, by an elliptical form of expression, to
have "played"—these and many other matters, such as
why people who never were at any school at all wear the
supposed winning colour, are too wonderful to be
found out. Not so difficult is it to see why Harrow
boats Eton. They have no river, it is said sometimes;
but that is, as all who know what a school eleven is,
beside the question. There are quite as many good fish out
of the river as in it. The real reason is shown as soon as
the first ball is bowled ; when the Eton boy, whether he
be at the wicket with his bat, or out in the field with no-
thing but his good right and left hands to take care of him,
stares startled at the bounce and hop. A dead flat—dead
in more senses than one—does not prepare the young idea
for Lord's, as does the side-long hill, lively enough itself,
at Harrow. In the palmy days when Eton had fine elevens
she was much better than Harrow, and won accordingly.
But when pretty evenly matched, it seems that Harrow
wins here ; and as the ground has certainly not been better
since 1850 than it was before, the seote against Eton has
told its tale. Many say it is always six to four against
Eton at Lord's; and I really believe it is.—St. Paul's for
August.
THE ORCHESTRAL UNION.—Our readers will
doubtless remember the many interesting musical enter-
tainments organised by the Orchestral Union, under the
maryttgement of the late Mr. Alfred Mellon. They will
'.vd are assured, be also gratified to hear that the associa-
tion of which the operations have been suspended for
several years, is now being revived under the direction
of Mr. F. Kingsbury, who conducted with such
brilliant success the concerts held in 1867 at
the Fairy Palace at the Agricultural Hall, and
under whose able sup3riuteadonce the late M.
works were so successfully reproduced. The orchestra
will include some of the most ta'ente I solo instrumental-
ists from the [loyal Italian Oinra, Covent Garden, Her
Majesty's Theatre, and the Philharmonic Societies. The
first series of concerts, under the new direction, with
Messrs. Carodus, Viotti Collins, G. Collins, J. Howell,
Barrett, Radcliff, Maycock, Hutchins, C. Harper, Hughes,
&c., as principals, and Mdlle. L iebhart vocalist, will com-
mence at Brighton, at the New Grand Concert Hall,
West-street, on the 17th of August, and at the termina-
tion of its engagement there the members of the associa-
tion intend making a tour of the provinces.
The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint
Thomas George Knox, Esq., now her Majesty's Consul at
Baufkok, to be her Majosty's Consul-General in Siam, to
reWe. at Bangkok.
