LORD CHARLES BERESFORD ON THE DISASTER. In a further interview with a representative of the Central News yesterday afternoon, Captain Lord Chas. Beresford said none of the details that had as yet come to hand—either through the Press or privately-had stated with any degree of certainty the real cause of the Victoria disaster. He himself, though he had seen all the published statements, still held firmly to the opinion that the catastrophe was caused by some shghb mishap to the machinery of one of the vessels as they were performing a difficult and complicated manoeuvre. It is now nearly assured that the fleet at the time of the accident were changing columns, but he did not think the vessels could have been locked together, as stated, for eight minutes. This was hardly possible. If the vessel sank within 15 or 12 minutes as stated, far more would then probably have been saved. He was glad to find, however, that the men of the Victoria had gone down true to the traditions of the British Navy, and had demonstrated again that they were as willing to die for their country as their forefathers were. There are always certain incidents in connection with the manoeuvring of steam vessels, which, though in themselves very trivial, might often during the progress of difficult manoeuvres be the cause of serious accident, not to say serious disaster. As an instance the officer in charge at the time of the Victoria might have given the order, "Hard a-starboard," or -■ Hard a-port," and the helmsman might have obeyed to the very best of his ability, and yet through the action either of the water or the helm itself it might not have been hard a starboard or port as the case might be, and if the vessels were engaged in an intricate manoeuvre like changing the column,"the slightest difference in that order and the actual performance would be enough to cause the disaster. It must always be remembered that the bow of a ship first answers the helm, and in the case of the Victoria it was very likely that a second or two would have made all the difference. Such contingencies as these had always been common to naval life, and always would be. Of course, it was always possible that there might be mistakes, as naval officers were no more infallible than other human beings, but when it was remembered that the four officers who were mostly concerned were men of such well-known efficiency and of such tried courage as Admiral Tryon, Admiral Markham, Captain Bourke, and Captain Johnston, men whom he had no hesita- tion whatever m calling the very pick of the service, this conjecture could, he thought, be lain aside. At any rate, he himself would not believe that any real responsibility for the accident whatever rested upon those men. As to the construction of the vessel, he and other officers had read with interest the state- ments which had been made both in and out of Parliament, but he still maintained the opinion that the Victoria was one of the best constructed and best designed vessels that had ever sailed the sea. Big ships we must have. because other nations have them. The public were perfectly ignorant as to the outcome of the next naval war, and it weuld be suicidal for Eng- P'. r gland to enter on a contest with ships which were merely experiments in that war. The big ships might win or might prove useless, but at anyrate to-day big ships with all nations kept the sea. Battleships were always a com- promise. If we carried heavy armour, heavy 1 armaments, rams, and belts, we must be pre- pared to build big ships to carry them. The big ships alone were able to carry comfortably large crews and large supplies of coal, and, putting aside "fads," it was almost certain that the present class of battleship was the b -st com- promise possible. The accident to the Victoria, instead of showing any fault in her construction, had only again made known the deadly efficiency of the ram as a weapon of modern warfare. Of course, it was very unlikely that in ciise of actual warfare any ship would be able to do the harm the Camperdown did, unless it had previously disabled its opponent. Generous Offer from the Eastern I Telegraph Company. In the House of Lords, Earl SPEN<^B, in answer to Lord Knutsford, said that he had to inform the House that the Admiralty had re- ceived a letter from Sir J. Pender, the chairman of the Eastern Telegraph Company, which he would read :— Daar Admiral Hoskins,—It has occurred to me that many applications will be made to you for information from Malta on the part of relatives of the officers and crew of the ill-fated Victoria, As these inquiries will, as a rule, come from people who cannot afford to pay for telegrams, I shall be glad to forward free any messages which in your judgment are entitled to this privilege. The telegrams should be as short as possible, and forwardied to Mr George Draper, the secretary of the company." The action on the part of the Eastern Telegraph Company, said the noble lord, deserved the thanks of the Admiralty, and be was glad to take the first opportunity of thanking them for their good offices. The Admiralty had tele- graphed to Admiral Tracy, the admiral in com-, mand at Malta, and had informed him of the offer of the Eastern Company, and he would make it known to the survivors of the crew of the Victoria who had reached Malta, who would thus be enabled to telegraph messages home. He thought it well to take the first opportunity of making a public announcement of the facilities for telegraphing thus afforded by the Eastern Company. The Official Despatches. I In the House of Lords last evening Ear SPENCEH, in reply to the Duke of Argyle, said that the Admiralty expected to have the official despatches from Admiral Markham early on Sunday morning. They had no further informa- tion of any kind with regard to the loss of the Victoria. "V- MEASURES OF RELIEF. The Mansion Heuse Funcf. Up to last evening the Mansion House Fand "I" for the rehef of sufferers from the Victoria disaster had reached a total of 225,000, including a donation of £ 525 from the City of London Cor- poration. Other donors were the Army and Navy Store' -PIOR) Royal Yacht Squadron, L100 Messrs Cha.rrington, L105 the Bank of England, 2105. One hundred pounds has been sent to the fund by Co!. Fraser, Lady Stewart of Grantully, and their brothers And sisters in memory of their cousin, Reginald Scarlett. Other subscribers a.re the P. and O. Company, -C105 Eastern Telegraph Company, L100 Shipwrecked Pishermen and Manners Royal Benevolent Society, 21-00. The 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards, many, public companies, and private donors send substantial contributions. The Portsmouth Fund. A meeting of the Portsmouth Relief Fund was j held in the Town-hall, Portsmouth, yesterday. Earl and Countess Clanwilliam and a number of naval and military men were present. As presi- dent of the- Upper Thames and Trent Valley Club, the Duke of Connaught sent 15 guineas. The treasurer stated that the Portsmôuljh fund now amounted to between £1,300 and £1,400, and an executive committee was formed to carry out the details of the scheme for developing the fund.

Green-room Gossip. I Senor Sarasate, on his return from Paris to his native town of Pampeluna, was received in triumph by the municipal council of the place, and a party of peasants carrying torches drew his carriage. --0- It is said that the Comidie-Frangaige receives a fixed payment of jBSOO a night at Orury Lane, and that the receipts on the first evening amounted to JB720. Judging from appearances, the best house since then has been that of last Wednesday, -when Le Monde. I'on s,cnswie- went as no other piece of the season has gone. If they had only opened with it, instead of the dismal Ploic?cui,s I „ -0- The celebrities at the garden-party were by no means confined to the stage all sorts and condi- tions of famous people were to be seen there. The bluest blood in the world was represented by the Duke of Orleans. For the painters, there were among many others Mr Leslie, R.A., and Mr Lin ley Sambourne. Sir Albert Rollit stood for Parliament as successfully as on the hustings. Mr B. L. Farjeon and Mrs Oscar Beringer were thsre for the novelists, and journalism was, of course, largely represented notably by the picturesque figures of Mr F. C. Burnand and Mr Joseph Knight. As to music, it was everywhere. The Sisters Ravogli were as much noticed per- haps as any others of the operatic contingent; and as to the drama, one gave up counting. Mrs Bernard Beere and Mr Bancroft, Mr Pinero and Miss Julia Neilson, Mr Hermann Vezin, and two generations of Broughs- -one turned from side to srde and saw fresh faces at every turn. -0 There must have been (says the Era), from first to last, a thousand guests—not under Sir Augustus Harris's roof, for this was literally a garden-party, but within his gates. The host and hostess did not await the arrival of their friends in formal state on the doorstep, but were, in the pleasantest sense of the words, "all over the place;" but Sir Augustus was for the most part to be seen just after the door was passed, welcoming everybody with a joke, and making everybody at home. Perhaps the first familiar figure to be noticed, among the hundreds of well- known men and women, was that of a cheerful httle old gentleman with a fringe of white hair, who chatted away as if he were blissfully uncon- scious that he was the famous M. Got, of the Comedie Fr»H§aise. A great proportion of the guests, as was natural, belonged to the French and Italian companies now visiting Drury-lane and Covent-garden; and peopla noticed the curious difference in height between our native comedians and their brethren from across the Ohannel-the English actors averaged probably three inches a-piece taller than the French. --0-- As already announced, the dramatic profession intends to honour Henry Irving before he leaves England this autumn for America. It would take a large volume in which to record the good deeds accomplished for the honour and dignity of the English stage by its foremost representative but tho point the actors particularly desire to emphasize is their gratitude to Mr Irving for his splendid efforts on behalf of theatrical charities and associations, and his determined desire to advance the artistic and social status of the dramatic profession at large. In accordance with these laudable sentiments a farewell dinner is to be given to Mr Henry Irving prior to his departure for America by his brother artists, and is to be confined entirely to English actors, as such. A committee, con- sisting of Mr Toole, Mr John Hare, Mr Ban- croft, Mr Wyndham, Mr Tree, Mr Pinero, Mr Terriss, and Mr Forbes Robertson, has beph formed to carry out the arrangements. The dinner will be held on Snnday, July 9th, at the Grafton Gallery, the large room of which has been most kindly lent by the Grafton Gallery Committee. Most of the leading actors in London have signified their desire tolbe pre-sent,ag aIm some since retired, including such honoured names as that of Mr Sims Reeves and Mr Walter Lacy, &c. Mr John Hare will preside. The dinner is to be in every respect entirely a private one, and the committee desire that it should be known that no exception whatever will be made to the rule that the guests on this occasion must have qualified for that post by appearing on the I stage as members of the dramatic profession.

WILL OF THE LATE MR A, LEVY. The late Mr Albert Levy, of 20, Graftcn-street, Piccadilly, leaves his share in his late father's estate to Mr W. A. W. Lawson, his nephew absolutely. The net value of the testator's own property is returned at £ 87,662. He beqnt>.aths £2.000 to Mr H. L. W. Lawson, M.P., and legacies to the principal members of the literary staff of the Daily Tele- graph, and to his intimate friends. There are also bequests to charities, and the residue is given to his two surviving sisters and the three children of his brother, Sir Edward Lawson, Bart.

RAMSGA TE MYSTERY. NOEL BEFORE THE I 1 MAGISTRATES. -7 16th Day. I Case for the Prosecution Closed. [SPECIAL TKLKGBAM TO THE "ECHO."] On being brcught up on remand before the Rxmsgate magistrates this morning, William Noel presented the same nonchalant demeanour as he has done during the great part of these prolonged proceedings. It was stated that the case for the prosecution would be finished to-day. I Evidence of Inspector Ross. I Inspector Ross in re-examination that the I, jemmy found sometime after the murder was a new one. It was not found in the vicinity of Adelphi-terrace. In reference to the slip of paper belonging to the prisoner containing an account of a robbery at Southsea, there were two points of difference. In the Ramsgate case there had been a murder, and there were no traces of jemmy marks either inside or outside the bousp, whereas in tbe Southsea affair there had not been a murder, and jemmy marks had been found. The prisoner told him that the silver was kept in the chiffonier, and he saw it there on the night of the murder. There was no appearances on the night of the murder of I the contents of the plate basket having been dis- turbed. The reason why the bottom drawer of the cabinet was not disturbed was that owing to a handle being off it would take too long a time to open. [ Magistrates in Consultation. d This finished Inspector tiosss re-exammation, and the bench retired for consultation, but the resultof their deliberations did not transpire. A Sergeant's Evidence. Sergeant Horn corroborated Inspector Ross's evidence m various particulars. On the 27th May he went to the prisoner's house and asked him for the key found on the bed on the day of the murder. The prisoner took the key (now pro- duced for the first time) from the front side door and gave it to htm. (For continuation see next EAiiitn.)

SHOCKING AFFAIiv 1.0ND0. A shocking cam of attetcpcfv suioW6 by » woman, at Mildmay Park, S., was reported yesterday morning. A wonoa»; had jjjst opened the front door of her hoas: in Mildmay -street^ a turning off Mildmay F-U-k, to aditit her eldest daughter, who had cha ge of some children, j when she appears to have possessed herself of | a dinner-knife, and then made her way to the back bedroom at the top of -A-e honse, wnich has three floors. She st-ems tc have cuL he;- throat with the knife, opened the top sasL of the window, and flung herself out. A lady living close by heard the crashing of glass, which must have been the bedroom windows being broken by the feet of the would-be suicide as she fell, and upon turning round saw the poor woman drop headlong to the ground. Other persons near heard the crashing of the glass, aud the j whole neighbourhood was soon in a very excited state. Several people rushed through the house and found the poor creature lying v outside the back door. Her head was doubled' | under her. A pillow was soon procured and her head laid upon it.

!• T JUMPED OVERBAD. Another Interesting irative. I [SPKCIAL TELEGRAM FROM ODE RESPONDENT.] I MALTA, Saturday.—I havebtamed from another of the survivors, who e^ed by jumping overboard just before the \lri» sank, the following narrative:— J When the collision happeil I was below, but in response to the order wi was issued I went on deck. On arriving th found a great disturbance. Everybody was ijing about; and the Camperdown had j parted from the Victoria. I heard t order given to shift the guns tol port side, butras the Victoria kept going 4 nothing could be done to carry out tb Auctions. This Watl the last thing I noticebefore jumping overboard. When I was goiofoder I felt as if I was being drawn down by titatiot. caused by the vessel's plunge, but I cat to the surface again, and got hold of a pieca a broken boat. I held on to this olli I'was picked up. According to all Save heard Sir George Tryon was a last t holding on to the rails of the bridge wheihe ship turned over. The man who hoisttbe last signal, acting under the immediate s of Sir George Tryon, called the attention e rtdmiral to the fact that the ship was sirkin d the answer he received was 'Save yoursell hen the turret fell off the ship seemed reli for a moment. One of the Victoria's boa as lowered but capsized, a marine who was t being drowned. The two prisoners on boa 6re saved by the sentry, who, I am told, *0883 life. Many of those who jumped overboa killed by the propeller. The doors of th ertighb compart- ments were open when the ion occurred, and orders were given to close t but there was no time. The whole thing 3ned so suddenly that it is difficult for anyonlo did not see it to realise ic." r Circumstances oie Collision. I MALTA, Saturday.-Ti followmg further particulars have transpireere regarding the circumstances which led jthe loss of the Vic- toria :—The ships of thjtpiadron were abou five miles out from Tri pig teaming away from the harbour in two coluri line ahead. It was Vice-Admiral Tryon's injjon to turn the ships head towards the harbod enter it, and he proposed to do this burning the vessels in wards, so that they wi be in exactly the same position to each ,er. only the opposite way, and in thi^order they were to anchor. The dhCe of the columns apart should have bfleight cables, but was only six. On Vice-Adnj Tryon being informed of this he gave an ordeij have the distance in- creased to eight cablesifc afterwards counter- manded it. When tb<jna! to turn was made, the Camperdown, whi^s leading the other column, did not at firspnnil. She answered, however, on her penuil with the result that she struck the Victoria the starboard side. -Muter. L

CAUSE OF it COLLISION. I -i- An Officerfetatement. I I ADMIRAL TRVt LAST WORDS. I A r— An Avj Scene. The special correspiat of the Central News, ia a telegram dated !ta, Saturday, says I have received the important statement from an officer in 2fcrjty on the battleship Victoria :— 1 he fleet was steai about nine knots, and Admiral Tryon signafo, ths fir<.fc division t0 turn 16 points to the j succe.5sivejy, and for the second division to tuif, points to the starboard, the object of the malvre being to bring the ships into position anchorage off Tripoli. Unfortunately, the 1iral forgot or mistook I the distance between; columns, which at that J moment was six cablej^ the ships would make in turning a c.rcle of thi bles diarneteri a collision IVs inevitable lf Ml Tctqu's orders should be carried out. The orders were executed after momentary hesitation, and the result was that the Cainperdown struck the Victoria midway Ibetwee the anchors at the turret. The Camper- down's forecastle penetrated underneath the Victoria's forecastle to a distance of ten feet. By Admiral Tryon's orders, the Cainperdown backed and the wat er rushed into the Victoria's side at a fearful rate. Just a minute previous to the collision th<? admiral ordered collision stations and "c1ose watertight doors to be sounded, but those orders were given too late, for the tremen- dous rush of water prevented access to several of the foremost doors. A number of officers were in the ward-room, and felt the tremendous shock of the collision, and heard a tearing, rushing sound, which caused them to hurry on deck. The bugle was then soundir.g collision stations." There was not the slightest approach to anything like a panic absolute order and discipline prevailed from first to last. The pumps were next cleared and rigged, and all the water-tight doors that could be reached were closed under the personal supervision of Captain Bourke, who visited everyone of them, inspiring perfect confidence among his men by his calmness and cheerfulness. The Victoria's list was still increasing, I however, and the order w as now sounded for all hands to fall in on the port deck. The | collision mat, boom, and the boats had already jbeen got out, but an attempt to place the mat over the forecastle failed owing to the rush of water. Coir-mander Jellicoe, to whom the charge of the boats had been given, worked with his men in splendid fashion, but the rapidly increasing list made it almost impossible to get the boats in position for launching, and the, work was attended with great danger to all concerned. In obedience to the order all the crew that could reach the deck had assembled on the upper deck on the port side, and the place was inconveniently crowded with men, but, notwithstanding this, although the blue jackets looked anxious, they continued perfectly quiet, and ready and eager to carry out orders. I' There were only two prisoners on the Victoria, and both these were brought on to the upper deck. One of them, however, was half dead, both of his legs havins been mangled in a shock- ing manner by the bow of the Camperdown, as it crashed into the sick bay. The operations connected with the getting out of the boats had now to be abandoned, for the ship now listed 20 to 25 degree.3. The sea rushed in the main deck ports within two minutes, and in less than ten minutes all was over, The final catastrophe, although all instinctively felt that it was coming, actually occurred with fright- ful rapidity, the ship suddenly heeling over and overwhelming everybody. It was at this supreme moment that Admiral Tryon gave his last order, shouting at the top of his voice from t1 V, bridge upon which he still stood, steadying himself by grasping the rail, "Save yourselves, men." No sooner was the order given than the blue- jackcts broke ranks and swarmed up the weather nettings. Some of them shouted "She is going down," and there was a scramble to get hold of something. The most awful scene was witnessed on the upper side of the ship, on which the greater num- ber of men had gathered. Those in front were pressed upon from behind, and had no option but to jump from a spot immediately above the port propeller. To jump there appeared certain death, but there was no option, and scores threw them- selves into the sea only to be mangled and killed by the whirling screw. The men behind shouted Stop the screw, for God's sake," but without avail, as no orders could be communicated to the engine-room even if those below had been in a position to carry them out. Both screws were still revolving when the vessel disappeared beneath the sea. Many of the men went down with the vessel and rose to the surface again. One of the ship's boats rose to the surface bottom upwards, with a score of men clinging to it, but for some reason it suddenly sank, carrying the men with it. I estimate that 400 men got clear away from the sinking battleship, but many were struck and either killed or badly injured by the wreckage of various kinds which, propelled by the escaping air from the ship, came to the surface with the force of cannon balls. The sea for two hundred yards around was a seething rapid. Men were whirled around half choked by the whirling waves, or dashed upon the wreckage and battered and bruised. But the the terrible commotion of he sea only lasted a minute or two. Among those who were killed by the propeller was Lieut. Philip Munro. When last seen, Admiral Tryon was grasping the rail of the top chart-house, and in that position he went over with his ship. He had no chance of life, and even had he desired to take his chance of escape with his officers and men, of which he never gave any indication from first to last, he could hardly have got down the ladder at any time one micute after the collision. Admiral Bourke, at the supreme moment, stood ou the fore bridge immediately below Admiral Tryon. When Admiral Tryon signalled to the second division Sixteen points to starboard" Rear-Admiral Marlcham twice disregarded the order. Admiral Tryon signalled, Why are my orders not obeyed ? After such an inquiry from his superior, Read-Admiral Markham had no option but to carry out his instructions. It did not take long to realise the danger, and both ships had engines reversed. When the collision occurred the other ships of the fleet wanted to lower boats, but Admiral Tryon signelled, Annul lowing boats." The question discussed by everybody since the disaster is-Could Roar-Admiral Markham have performed the evolution when the Admiral first signalled was the danger caused by waiting for the third signal ? all sky No." Admiral Seymour. The Admiralty has placed the cruiser Hawke at the disposal of Admiral Sir Michael Culme Seymonr in order thl\'he may leave for Malta at the earliest possible moment after the completion of his preparations.

Cardiff Quarter Sessions. I I TRIALS OF PRISONERS. These sessions were resumed—before the Recorder (Mr B. Francis-Williams, Q.C.)—in the Crown Court, Town-hall, Cardiff, this morning. AN OLD HAND GgTS A CHANCE. The man William Howe (47), carpenter, who was on Friday afternoon convicted of having stolen a clock, value 185 6d, from the vestry of St. John's Parish Church on May 18th, was brought up for sentence. He had a long record of convictious for felony, and had just come out after serving five years' penal servitude. The Recorder remarked that directly Howe came out of prison he com- mitted the felony at St. John's Church. He did not p" aae any reliance on prisoner's assurance that he would go abroad when he got out of prison, hut as a gentleman connected with the police-cmrt mission had promised to look after and help prisoner, he wou!d give prisoner another chance. The sentence would, therefore, be three months' hard labour. If prisoner were brought np again, how- ever, it was probably he woul 'd be sentenced to a term which would last over the remainder of his life. I Serious Charge against an Insurance Agent. A yonng man namP'" Silas Brainbridge was charged with having, \v .lilst a servant of the Refuge Assurance goompary (Limited), at Cardiff, unlawfully and with intent to defraud, falsified certain books of account. Mr S. T. Evans, M.P., appeared for the prosecution, and prisoner was not defended.Mr Evans ex- plained that prisoner entered the Service of the prosecutors on Feb. 20th, as agent and collector. Part of his duties was to collect accounts, and he had to account to Mr Bell, inspector of agents in South Wales, for the moneys collected on behalf of the company during the preceding week. When a premium was received from a policy-holder an entry of the amount was made in the small premium book, which remained in possession of the person who paid the money. The collector then had to enter the amount received in the collecting book, and, in addition, was required to make out a weekly account, which should agtee with the policy-holder's premium book and the collecting book. There were three counts against prisoner, namely, that he received 13s fid from Mrs Sarah Williams, 26, Constellation-street, Cardiff, on April 10th, 13 6d from the same person on May 8th, and 6s 9d, also from her on' May 15th, as pay- ment of premiums, of which (although receipt of money was acknowledged in Mrs Williams's pre- imum book) no entries were made in the collect- ing book or in the weekly sheets, and for which no account had been rendered to the company.— Mrs Williams spoke to having paid prisoner the sums mentioned, and produced her premium book, in which receipt of the money by prisoner was acknowledged.—Mr Samuel Hayes, district manager of the company, gave evidence as to the mode in which busmess was done as between the prisoner and policy-holders and the company, and as to the keeping of books and issuing of accounts. Prisoner, in his defence, said the copy agreement produced was not a true copy of the one he had signed, and argued that be was not really a servant of the Refuge Assurance Company, but merely a commission agent.—The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to four months' im- prisonment. I AN INTOLERABLE NUISANCE. Thomas Thomas (48), labourer, pleaded'not guilty to having indecently assaulted a woman in Canal-parade, Cardiff, on June 17th.—Mr Allen Upward appeared for the prosecu- tion, and prisoner was undefended.—At the close of the evidence, prisoner said he had been in the West Indies and suffered from sunstroke. At times he was not responsible for his actions, and > had been detained some time in a lunatic asylum J at Malta.- The jury found prisoner guilty.—TheJ Recorder,, in passing sentence, said it wasf intolerable that in a town like Cardiff, in broadj paylight. any person should be so assaulted^ Whnt led prisoner to the house he did not know; probably the man intended to commit some other crime but it was not to be tolerated that respect- able women should be subjected to treatment as had been the case here. Prisoner would therefore have to go to prison for eight months with hard labour. CHARGE OF STEALING A RIFLE. r John Wm. Paradise (21), labourer, and Wa 'wn John Jenkins (32), signalman, were charged witfc/ having stolen a rifle, the property of the Vohin-I teer Battalion of the Welsh Regiment, on May\ 28tn, 1890. They pleaded not guilty.—Mr Rj" Woodfall appeared for the prosecution, Mr C. jl Jackson for Jenkins, and Mr Morgan Evans fqj Paradise.- In opening the case, Mr Woodfall said the i ifle had been taken surrepititiously the armoury in 1890,and theVolunteer author in the course of their inquiries, called aftheSl#i»Si field signal-box, Roath Dock, on April 11 of £ W year, where Jenkins was employed. There found the rifle hidden under some sleepers. 1 Government marks had been rubbed off, tbe «ir- ] end of the stock had been cut off, and f attempts had been made to disfierure the wea* and cfestfSy" £ rt^~trrelns ot icteirtiftcatmnr^"— prisoners had apparently forgot the cleaning- f however, which bore the corresponding miC to that on the rifle lrffssing, and which waS| £ inside the barrel.— Sergeant-Mijor Broad 't K prisoners were members of his vo!uf< K corps. The practice' in the is. 48 of rifles was that the Voluftte l| selected the weapons, took them to him, and- number was entered in a book. When a rifle •/ returned at the end of the year the person git it in got a receipt. He spoke to havin&-gonei Stonefield signal box, along with Detective R1 kin, and finding the rifle. It was much distigui the stock having been cut, the backsight taken, and the Government marks rubbed out. Thenuoik^u and marks were left on the cleaning rod,thoweve> When he and Detective Rankin called at ParaJ dise's house Paradise denied having any Govern!- mentarms m the house, but latterly he produce^ a Government rifle, complete and unharmed, and', said he had taken it from the armoury to replace one he had lent to Jenkins.—Cross-examined by v Mr Jackson, witness said old Government rifles 1 were broken up and never sold. There were at | present ten rifles missing from tbe armoury, and j he did not know where they were. When b<j j gave evidence in the case at the police-court ther* < were 14 missing, but four had been returned.—^ Cross-examined by Mr Evans, witness said i there was no evidence in the volunteer books that the rifle had been issued to Pa.radise.¡l John Edmonds, signalman, said Jeukins told him j Paradise had lent him a rifle.—Jesse Ludlow, I Clifton-street, said he saw Jenkins cutting the: stock of a rifle. Jenkins remarked that it would make a good disguise, and the rifle would not be recognised again. He also saw Jenkins hide the rifle under some sleepers. ( For continuation, see next editton.)

STOLL'S PANOPTICON. Skating Competition. The weekly skating competition for the prize of one guinea, in connection with the above place of amusement and recreation, came off at the rink on Friday evening, there being a large attendance of spectators. Twelve entries had been received, but only eight put in an appearance to compete. The distance was one mile, or fifty times round the rink. Mr Godwin E iwards acted as judge, and ran the competition in three heats with a. final. The following is the result:—First beat— 1, Ciements; Power. Griffiths was a third competitor, put fell after going about 20 laps. Second heat 1, Cliffe; 2, Clarke. Bafico lost his skate after going 30 laps. Third heat—1, Bennett; 2, Griffiths; 3, Phillips. Fmal heat—1, Bennett (owes one lap). The three competitors toed the tape in good' order, Bennett, on the inside, making the pace, followed by Ciiffe and Clements, and this order was maintained until the third lap, where the three crossed and recrossed each other. Entering upon the tenth lap Cliffe lost his skate, falling out, and Clements and Bennett made the pace until the fifteenth lap, when Clements fell, and left Bennett to finish alone, which he did in capital style, winning the guinea.

•kv; ANNUAL OUTING. The annual outing of the employees of Mr John Morgan, contractor, Roath Dock, was held on Tuesday.

Morgan, who pre- sided, was received with acclamation. In re- sponding, Mr Morgan referred to the good feeling evidenced by ihe speakers, and which he hoped would continue for a lonf period at least equal to the past record of 25; years. The party, after visiting the Wyndcliff spd Tintern Abbey, had tea at Chepstow, and reached home at 11 p.m.

_r 'Ç TO-DAY'S CRICKET. l ——.—— h Cardiff v. Newport. NEWPORT, Saturday.—The first match of the season between the representatives of Newport and Cardiff opened at Newport shortly before uoon to-day. L. H. Hornby won the toss and, with Silverlock, took up the defence for Newport on a batsman's wicket. Selwvn Biggs and T. Sweet-Kscott opened the attack. Hornby commenced the score with a single off Biggs and then hit Sweet-Escott for two. In Bigg's next over Hornby gave a (lifrk-olt ehance. When the score reached 10 Siiverlock was all but ran out. Afterwards Hornby pave another chance,but C!arke failed to hold the ball. At 29 the captain was baffled by Sweet-Escort, having put on 19. F. Rees now jo:ned the professional. Rees hit Sweet-Kscott for single, and Silverlock cut the same bowler's next delivery to the boundary for four, the next over produced three by Silverlock, Escott's succeeding over resulted in a single,and then Silverlock got Bigss away for three. Crickec now became slow, three overs only producing a single in Sweet-Escott's next over Silverlock scored two and a single, and Bees added anotljpr single, and the 50 went up. At 52 Mnllins replaceu Sweet-Escott and Scott went on at Biggs's end. The first three overs were without resu't, t en Silvei-lock drove Scott to the boundary for four and hit a single off the sam» over. Shortly afterwards Rees got the same bowler to the boundary for four, and Silverlock also put the fourth ball of the same over to the boundary for another four, sending 70 up. Four runs later J. G, Clarke was tried in place of Scott. Clarke sent down a maide-i over, and then Silverlock drove Mnll-ns to the boundary for 4. A single followed off Clarke, and then one of Mnllins' deliveries was again sent to the boundary by Silverlock, ths same player put the fourth ball of the same over also to the boundary, thus completing his 50, which had been compiled in faultless style. Off the next over Silverlock a-dded six to his score. Three more singles were added, and then Rees hit the fourth single, which sent the century up. Silverlock's next hit was a four off Sweet Escott, who had replaced Mullins. Selwyn Biggs re-urned at 107, and six runs later Rees raided one of Escott's balls, which was taken by Marley. The partnership had yielded 115 runs, of which Rees had only contributed 25. Reynolds now joined Silverlock, and the new comer opened by getting three off the fast bowler. SiWer'.ock bit three 4's in succession. At 135 J. H. Brain displaced Sweet- Escott. At luncheon the score stood at 138 for two wickets. After the interval Reynolds and Silverlock resumed, Biggs anti Escott bowling. Reynolds drove Bigg, first ball to the boundary, but was smartly caught at the wicket off the next ball. Mark Phillips now joined Silverlock, and the score continued to rise. At 159 M. Phillips was caught by R. Sweet-Escott. T. C. Graham was next in, and shortly afterwards Silver- lock reached his 100. Both batsmen continued to hit out freely, the second century being telegraphed before 3 o'clock. Several bowling changes were tried with without success. At 249 Marley succeeded in bowling Gra ham, who had put on 58, the partnership having produced 80 runs. Two runs later Silverlock returned a ball to Mullens. The pro. had been batting for two honrs and a half, and had played 'excellent cricket for his 137, which included 21 fours and 4 threes. F. Phillips, who succeeded, was run out before the seore could be augmented. NEWPORT. L. H. Hornby, b S. Sweet-Escott 19 Sil»e>lock, eand b Mullen 137 F. Rees, c Marley, b Sweet-Escott 25 G.

Runs came slowly, except in one over from Giffen, and then 14 runs were obtained, 11 of them by Briggs but afterwards the play quieted down again, Briggs having one or two narrow escapes fiom b ing bowled by Giffen. Briggs and Storer added 54 runs this morn- ing before the former was dismissed at 226, his free in- ninsrs including seven 4's, two 3's,a nd six 2's. Hornby was soon caught, but the last wicket gave some trouble. Storer and Mold hit freely, and added 29 runs for the last wicket before the Derbyshire wicket-keeper was taken at mid-off. The innings, which had lasted four hours and 20 minutes, closing for 259. The Australians have 275 to get to win iu four hours and a quarter. The Colonials entered upon their task at twenty minutes to two, Lyons and Bannerman facing Mold and Briggs. Each batsman had a narrow escape in the slips, but their runs came rapidly, and at 30 Davidson took the place of Mold, but no wicket before lunch. 1st Innings, NORTH OF KNGLAND. 2nd Innings. H. C.

Somerset. -1 TONBRIDGE, Saturday.—Wantin1? 58 runs to win, with nine wickets to fall, Kent continued their second innings this morning at Tunbridge at half-past 11. Kent, it may be remembered, had been left with 73 to win, and of this number 15 had been obtained for the loss of one wicket. Alec Hearne and Weigali were opposed by Tyler and Nicholls, and before a run had been added Weigall was dismissed by a fine ball from Nicholls. Some tine cricket was shown by the brothers Hearne, who, putting on runs at a capital pace, settled all doubts as to the results of the match. Several bowling changes were tried without effect. The batsmen continued to bold the upper hand, "rtd though aiiother bowling change was tried it did not bring about a separation. The winning hit was made at 12.15, and Kent we e left with a decisive and well- earned victory of eight wickets. Score :— 1st Inniugs. KENT. 92ad Innings. W.

Incidents of the Pastime. I The young Indian Prince, Kumar Shri Ranjit- sinhji, has thoroughly established himself in popular favour both by his thoroughness and sportsmanlike conduct on the cricket field. He is not a little amused at the words Kumar Shri, which actually refer to his rank, being taken as e 11 ordinary Christian names with the prefix "Mr," but this, he thinks, is greatly prefefcble to being mistaken for a Parsee. The young Cantab, who is studying for the Bar and talks of returning to India, is not yet of age, his birthday being Sep- tember 10th, 1872. Is the rule of following on at cricket a handi- cap ? It was fet to be so at Lord's Ia.st week by the Surrey eleven, and it has doubtless been re- garded in the same light by many elevens who have had to remain in the field a very long period. But some of the highest authorities differ from Dr. E. M. Grace, who has raised the question, and thinks that the time has arrived when an alteration should be made in the rule. Dr. E. M. Grace suggests that the question of following-on should be left to the decision of the captain of the fielding team, but it would be rather absurd if different captains decided differently under the same conditions. How- ever, it is admitted that the matter is worth dis- cussion, and some of those who have gained by the existence of the rule are not disinclined to favour its abrogation. Everyone will be pleased to learn that Walter Hearue, the well-known Kent professional, who has been kept out of cricket by a bad injury to his hand, has received a most favourable report as to the progress he is making towards recovery. Dr. Hood has instructed Hearne to practise bowling at ouce, so as to try and get the joints into working order again. At present the top joint of the little fing-er of the right hand is very stiff, but it is hoped that Hearne will be able to play for the county again in about a fortnight. '■ Old Ebor," writing in the Athletic News, tella the following good story of "Happy Jack :— George Ulyett is an inveterate joker. Last week, at Leeds, a Bradford pressman went to the cricketel-s' quarters on interviewing thoughts in- tent. Ulyett tumbled to the situation, as Maurice Read did to the London artist who gave a counter- feit presentment of Richardson the other day. With well-simulated excit.ement he announced that he had received a telegram stating his wife had twins, and the babies and her ladyship were doing well. It is an old wgbeeat; of the veteran jokist, but it received the Skgnity of printer's ink all the same, and provided reading which con- vulsed the Yorkshire cricketers with laughter during the Halifax match. The next time the interviewer comes across Happy Jack he will take the twins stakes yarn with a lutnp of salt. As a cricket curiosity, tliematch played between the Old Town and E-tst, End Clubs at Eastbourne in the loo*'J unior League Competition, is worthy of notice- 1 he East End scored the magnificent total of 4 but these were both extras, not a single run bemg Tnade from the bat Their opponents scored 102 without losing a wicket. The losers J m«y console themselves with the reflection thatj W>ey have assisted iu a match whic'.i will remain among tbe most curious records ot tho season. DR. E. M. GRAcXI.

Kempton Park Meeting. KEMPTON TIAUK. SATURDAY. With the weather beautifully fine the one-day meefc- ing at Kempton Park was numerously attended, both Ta ttersall's and the members' enclosures being exten. sively patronised. The racing, however, was by no means heavy still it was throughout enjoyable. No fault could be found with the course, as the recent rains had made it in excellent going order.

Another delightful summer afternoon was ex- perienced for the conclusion of this meeting, and with the half-holiday in Manchester, Liverpool, and other adjacent towns to help it the attendance showed an improvement on that of Friday. The course would have benefited by further rainfalls, for it is rather hard again and worn by t^e work of yesterday. The sport was a little better than that of the opening day.
