will be reopened to the public by the mid
die of the coming week. An iron gallery

An Incident OF the Crimen.
fTha Arponautl


At Inkermann, one of the most stub
bornlv-fought battles of the Crimean
war. a young officer who had learned at
Eton not much from books but good
deal from its sports, was surrounded and
made prisoner. While going to the rear
in charge of two stalwart Russians he
looked at their long coats and said to
himself, "They can't run" Watching
his opportunity, he knocked one soldier
head over heels, threw the other by a
wrestler's trick into the mud, and took
to his heels. Before mis- guardians were
on their legs and could fire he had got
over a good piece OF ground. A Russian
lancer made at him {; he ran asst leading
an Eton fcot-ace, and cleared good
sized fence. The lancer cleared it after
him, and with lance fixed pressed the
fugitive lard. A swollen brook, run
ming fercely, barred his way. 1t was
seventeen feet wide, but the old Etonian
had won the "long JUMP" when at
school, having cleared nineteen feet over
Chalvey ditch. He now jumped the
brook, the lancer refused to follow, and
the young officer ran back into the Eng
lish lines.
