weather, and the affair went off to the satisfac-
ton Of everybody. Another was arranged for Fri
day and still another for Saturday evening, so that
we had four performances in a single week. The
programme was varied on each occasion; not a song
or recitation was repeated. and in addition to the
persons already mentioned the company was favored
by Mr. Z. Zacharie with several songs by Mrs. Lane
with piano solos, and by Miss Marian Talbot with
recitation. DR.. Hutchinson of Providence gave

troupe organized for the occasion, followed by the
"Star Spangled Banner and God Save the Queen"
Resolutions of thanks to the officers of the City of
Chester were passed unanimously and Capt. Leitch
was invited to preside at the entertainment. Sun
day there were the usual religious services and at
the close of the day thoughts turned toward the
land which we were rapidly approaching. Every
body agreed that the voyage was one of the
peasantest they had ever known, and that the time
had passed most agreeaby l am reasonably
familiar with the Atlantic and other and seas.

PLANS OF The TEAM.
The rolling of the ship on Friday and Saturday
laid out some of the passengers, and thnned the
tables in a manner very satisfactory to the unaf
fected "old stagers" who had been somewhat
cramped for elbow room, and apprehensive on the
provision question. 1t rained on Saturday, and
the Team kept very quiet as the decks were
slippery and some of the nOvlces who
attempted to walk upon them caughtseveral disagree
able falls. The Team determined that it was best to
take no risks of broken limbs OF ribs and that the
members should confne themselves to the cabin as
long as the rain continued. or course we should
not suspect for q moment that the fact that the
ladies were all in the cabin had anything to do in
influencing this resolution.
The programme of the movements of the Team in
Ireland previous to the match was carefully studied
nv the rifleInen and all agreed that 1T was good
one 1t includes variety of courtesies arranged by
Major Leech of the Irish Team, and so managed that
the remen will not feel that their shooting abll-
ties will suffer in any way. They will be received
at Queenstown by delegation from the irish Ieain'
and will proceed at once to Dublin. lhe
time ND to the match will be passed in COM
parative rest, though there Will DC
few quiet entertainments Among them is
banquet in Trinity College. The members of the
CORPORATION will take the ri6emen OH pleasure trip
to PhGnix Park and other places, and there will be
a Yacht exercise in the bay Lord Sandhurst, com
mandcr Of the forces IN Ireland, has offered review
of troops for the entertainment of the visitors and
there will be special performance at one OF the
theatcrs There will be a concert at the Royal Thea
ter. one at the Irish Academy Of Music and one or
two other private affairs After the match there
will he grand banquet given by the Lord Mayor OF
Dublin and garden party given by MI vernon OF
Cloutarf Castle. Whatever the result OF the match,
there is no doubt that the Team will have very
hearty reception, and that the proverbial hospitality
of Ireland will be practically illustrated.
ON THE IRISH COAST.
The steamer passed Fastnet about a. m yester-
dav and information Of her arrival Immediately
telegraphed to Queenstown. 1t is a run of 3l2 hours
from Faspet to Queenstown, that the party there
had ample time for preparation. There was strong
wind from the south-east-strong enough Tor
voung palc-and the City of Chester rolled more
than she had done any previous day OF the voy-
aga. One member of the Team slipped and fell
against sofa with bis feet beneath it. The blow
was severe one, and he was much alarmed His
legs were bruised and panied him greatly; he
thought at first that he had broken them; next he
asserted they were cracked and then that they were
badly bruised. assisted him to his room, while
somebody else went to hunt up the doctor and
bottle of liniment. Both were found, and were so
el,icacious that the patient was prOBenading the
