Raptists contributed last year over
$4,000 This was the best ever done

English and Indian Regiments Join in
 Military and Athletic Sports.
 A great deal of interest was mani fested in Bombay, recently, in the naval and military tournament. Encouraged by the success which attended similar programme previously given, Gen. Gatacre and the committee decided to add many new features, with the result that crowds assembled on each day to witness the various contests. Tickets were reSold at a premium, and even trees overlooking the oval were thronged with sightseers. The second evening, says foreign exchange, the tournament was attended by the gov ernOr general, Lord Harris, who, as a famous athlete, enjoyed the capital sport provided. Little Miss Braclen- bury, attired in the royal artillery uni form and escorted by troops, rode up to his excellency and presented him with a programme. Immediately afterward a bugle sounded, and the military tattoo commenced. All the tunes were scotch, the pipers of the Royal Scots regiment opening the proceedings Five hundred men next marched in line, carrying colOred lanterns, while twenty military bands concluded the music with splendid rendering of the ''Old Hundredth." Driving by the royal artil- lery, and exhibition of skill with Indian clubs by two native regiments, tent begging, trick-riding, and gun drill by men of the royal navy were warmly ap- preciated by the multitude.

TIPS IN ENGLAND.
Gamekeepers Scorn Anything Less Than
 Ftye-Pound Note.

A retired Anglo-Indian officer has published his notions on the subject of tips" Thackerays Col. Newcome, it will be remembered, made a sort of royal progress through England on his return from long sojourn in the east, rewarding postboys with gold and mak- ing walters happy with handfuls of silver, says the London Daily News. This reminds the Anglo-Indian officer that there are no tippers so hardened and profuse as AnglO-Indian tippers- It is so novel for them to be waited on by white faces that they feel inclined to reward the most trihing service. They are. moreover, pleased to be at home again, and touched with the civility they meet with in their journeyings to and fro their hands are everlastingly in their pockets
 The retired Indian officer does not object to tips in the abstract, but he enters protest against the giving of gold to any domestic in a house where Oue has been staying. It spells the market and is unfair to those with slender purses. Five shillings, he con- siders, is sufficient reward for little extra trouble. This is very well, but what about the gamekeepers- large class, as some of us know to our cost who are accustomed to return the shooting guests sovereign with polite intimatiOn that they never accept "less than paper"
