12 "TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 26, 188a SPORTING J2fTEUiaESCB, With envoi ef which It wti no to that It ru like ante, a turnpike road, with thi dUdm tge, that it wt mora tllppery, scant herbage tad in rCce next to rscni, the Derby week commence! under, it moil be confessed, unfortunate auspices. The author! tin Ud iued large and programme, to which, it to hi feared, tbe return will be comparatively mall. The number of bora, announced a arriTed barely amounted to fO greet 'fiUing oSf (ram th average, bat cot to bo wputicrd it wheu. tbe itate nf tho course wmt taken into consideration. Under I different state of things as rtpnW weather the arrival cf Lor at Kreorn by the various train on the Monday would have been large now, for the rt time for traini into the itttion and the Derby favourite: tere not in them.

Some sensation cadicd in the course of Monday afternoon by the arrival of aome of tie l.uasley hor. Bend Or and Muneaster not being among thenv Immediate: with that pronenra belieiT IB) thing affecting the favourite which il.ai been tuch a marked characteristic of thi lierlr, the wildcat rumour were adoat about Mm, it being even said that it was very doubtful if he arrive 1 at alL, Of course, the non appearance of himself and Muncastcr there wa obvious reason. It would bare been doing1 a very risky thing galloping them her, and they were much better at Kiwsley until thii msrning. Hat thi never teemed to hire oecuired to the quidnunc, who fin etery tnovtment eon tasted with Bend Or cent tome kniscbief. llxii ii remarkable, for no horae ha teen doing better than the Duki of Westminster' unbeaten chettaut but to is, and we only record the fact.

The horstij Ben! Or, Muncaster, and rcitdoune, arrived thi morning; and were delivered safe' aud sound, and were described by those who: had icen them en rcutto their stable as looking as well a horse could be made. Matter Kildare, thou ghat Epsom, was an absentee frem tic eid for the Craven Stakes, and Kaleidoscope carried the money. He was beaten, however, when fairly in the straight, and Faro, who had alwaysLeen lying ii front, won ly an easy neck from Chelford. Hut a small fieltl for the Maiden plate, for which Montdidier was favourite, while a good deal of money was put oa FJoddeu; who was a bad third in the Althorp Park Stakes at NorthLtnptoo, but ilnrin ntmfnilr unft. To Jav he lojkedl a different animal, and a verv troaJ iooklDC one to liCOt.

and he won. this race easily, Montdidier being one of the fiftt in trouble. There wa a letter field for the Kgmont Tiate, for which the whole 15 put in an appearance, Cparibert, the top weight; being a very strong favourite. He had not run previously this has grown intoagra'nd lopkinghorse, and the way in which he disposed of his field to djjy showed us his Two Thousand win Ut ear was not so urlaccounUble as it was 4midered at the time. His subf C(junt running was moderate, but to dsy he, literally won all the way.

beating Toaatffiiuter, who had run such, a god raci at Chester with Teviotdle, easily) Ou Wtm runners for the oodcote isUlccs told a tale. Angelim was, of course, favourite hat thro mm, iW that three auatlexi of a mile would be. a little too. far lor her, and Mr. Chapliis Vaga 'filly.

was backed fpr some money, as was af so Iroquois, the American colt, who had run so well at Newmarket. The fears for Angelina's stamina were groundless, for she won In a canter, the Vaga filly being secocd and rouning up to aomethtcg like her Krorklesby form. C'heTronel. a good 20 to 1 chance, ran better thane did at Kempton park, and won thAshtead Stakes easily and Adrince, which has been sold by Captain Machell to Mr. Hungerford, 'beat Rhidorioch, Trologne, and four others jin the Epsom Stakes It wis not like the eve of the Derby exactly the business transacted in Tattersall's Ring.

There wis a general dulnesi perceptible, and roost of the transactions consisted la corering commissions, liend Or kept his place at the bead pt the quotations, but 9 to 4 was offered, and Kobert the Denl was second favourite at 7 to Muncasier' improved his position, and 8 to 1 was the best against the Duke of 'Westminster's, second string. There were more inquiries after Vtn der Tann thin an thing else, but Ercildoune arid Valentino were almost friendless. There as a curious hostility exhibited against litnd Or, the reasons for hick would be difficult to discover beyond the fact of his not aving been tried. There were rumours, too, about a change of jockeys on tome of the Derby horses, but they are without founds tlon. 'Whatever negotiations bad been on foot; or whether there had been any, it is certain that Archer will rida Bend Or and Fordham Von der Tann.

Philip Arthur Parson, 31, a retired oSicer of tbe Koyai i Navy, living at Fentiman road, Clapham road! On Thursday evening last he dived from a pring board in the Lambeth Swimming Baths, and a lie did not rue to tne surf ace lad nameif Wigley and others swam to the spot and found him lying insensible within a foot of the surface of the water, lie was placed in a warm bath, and Mr. Brooke, a surgeon, found a slight abrasion at the base of the skull. The deceased afterwards stated that he struck his head against the hot torn of the bath. The evidence of Mr. Sheppard, cneof the iioum.

surgeons at St. Thomas's Hospital, was to the eliect that the spinal column was fractured. Tf.e fact of deceased strikjng his hed described would causesucb an injury. Mr. Parson died on Friday morn i ing last.

Ti.e jury returned a verdict of "Accidental deatiu" 1 OnJIonday Dr. Wool held an inquest at Milton on the body of Miss Louisa EbU, 32, who rommitted suicide on 1 Sunday afternoon. For some mouths sLe had been suffering from: melancholia, and was scut by her friends as a patient to Dr. W. Dre.ey, of Maltoii.

On Sunday afternoon she i was walking iu the garden with MisslAeley the latter I went away fur two or three minutes, and on returning missed Miss Ebbs, who was found shortly afterwards floating down the river Derwent, whrch runs alongside Dr. Dee garden. She waa qute dead. The jury returu a verdict of Suicide while temporarily insane." The deaths of two men by fire at ilvertown. North Woolwich, were the subjtct ot an inquest held yesterday 1 by the Essex coroner.

The evidence shoed that the two men William Noak. 01, aud George. Day, 20 lodged with a shopkeeper nuiied Lewis, whoso premises are close Sileitowu Station. Ist Saturday night, about half past 10 o'clock, tbe men came home, and went to bed, both being under.tbe influence' of drink. They occu piea adjoining looms.ou the second floor.

At Lalf past 11 o'clock the landlady, Mrs. Lewis, went to her room, which' was on tlie tUor.over the shop, and iiiitne liately.under the room whereNoaks slept, from which room hhe beard a cracking nuse proceeding. She stated iu her evidence that she instantly rau upstairs and burst open the door, when she tound the room full of fire. She then rau downstairs. Owing' to the absence of water scarcely anything could be done to check the progres of the fire, and.

several cf the jury said that the water service, wtlch was. nominally constant, had been practically stoiped for a fortnight. The corcnr remarked ihat ho liad just seen children begging for water at the railway statieu, and he advised the juiy to remoustrnce on the subject to the water company. Tbe evidenco further showed that about 3 4'clock in the morning, when the fire wa uibdued, the remain of the two men were found in the ruins. A to the cause of the outbreak, it was stated thitt Noaks'was in the habit of smoking in ed, and that he had been frequeatly warned of the danger nttcn ling such a practice.

The jury returned a verdict of Accidental death." Yesterday Mr. G. H. Hull held an inquest, at the Star and 'Carter, liitterwa, on the mutilated remains of a child recently found in the Thames. Ktideuce as to finding the remains was given, and Dr.

William Henry Kemster, said he eiamined He was of opinion that when the Lead was discovered on Wednesday last it had not been in the water more than 4 hour's, and that death had occurred abJut ihree days revioiisly. He could not give the cause of death. The body had "been cut np in an unscientific manner. The coroner said he did not think any further evidence advisable at present. The was then adjourned tolenable the police to obtain some clue to the ldentitication of the remains.

Among the inquests held on Monday before the Liver poolcoiouer ssi udo on the body of a young labouring man named James Curley. On Saturday night he attempted to jump ashore from the rail of the steamer Canopus, as she was leavipg dock, so aa to bid adieu to his stepmother cjn tbe quay, when he fell into the water and was drowned. A verdict of Accidentally drowned" was returned: Mr. F. P.

Sir, The letter or Mr. J. Ora veil in The lYmet of yesterday on the smells of Loudon refers to a complaint of many years' standing, and the remedy1 is sO easy, as 1 pointi out six or seven years ago, that it is surprising how this serious evil is permitted and endured mmmer after summer. The drainage of London is supposed to be the most perfect of any town of thh tame sire, but if a defect exist in one part or another it lis.not likely tnat tne ouensive ouours caused thereby wouia jervaue me enure region West end and even the Mall in St. James's Park, and cease the instaut you enter the parishes of St.

Patera and Hoiborn, or the City, that it almost like ajchauge bto country air. The cause is on the surface. When the roads are watered in hot vt close weather a great proportion of the foulness thereof ascends and fills ti.e air as tie moisture evajorates. In. this parish (St.

Hkku.v KisiititY The prize olTered by the King of Saxony for the best practical, scheme for rendering harmless to fish iii rivers and laki the refuse from factories aud sewage of towns has brought before the public two precipitatiou processes, Smong others, in which lime is the chief geut.

One of the schemes is that of Htrr Wilhelm Knauer, ill wldch the sewage is heated and then saturated with lime water, and precipitation bein thus ttlfccted, the water enters another tank with chlorate of magneiia, and i i ultimately filtered through gravel snd eaith. A remarkable scheme is that of llrigadier General W. lleice. Under this the water, also sutliuently saturated with slaked lime, has to pass through several tanks and canals until it is pumjed up to a tower, from which it descends in the form of rain, the sulphuric steam with which the interior of the tower is filled occasioning a cruit of ammonia on the walls. This plan, it is said, is now being tried under the authority of the Saxon Minister of the Interior on ths Lister, a river very much polluted by varJou.s factories oh ti.e Saxon frontier.

The objections urged against these processes are that Jime has a tendency hurtful to fish lile and leaves an arid worthless deposit, while the ellluett water, being in an alkaline condition, is liable to putrefaction upon its introduction into the river. The effluent from the ABC process as carried out at Aylesbury, with the help of salt hate of alumina, is, on the otLer hand, aciJ, and, therefore, not open to the same objection as the alkaline processes, while the deposit is a valuable and inoffensive manure. ix Peksu. A Protestant mis lionary from Persia, at present in this country, informs us that tbe complaint of Archbishop Clnzel, referred to in our Paris letter dated the lirth to the effect that the Mission at Ourmiah" (Oroomiah) accords no help without a written, adhesion to Protestantism is entirely without foundation.

TO TITE EDITOlt OF THE TDIES. Sir, I take this early opportunity of the favour of your inserting the following remarks with regard to the committee appointed respecting the Atalanta's loss, which aptears. to me a slur on the officer who were repon "ible4 for her departure, and this in two way first. that they permitted' her to leave in an nnsea worthy and unsafe condition, and that any report they might pe called uroa to make now not be atisfactory to the public. If it be so it is manifest that to quiet irresponsible members, whose antipathy against naval officers is very well known in ihe service, this measure has been adopted.

The Bay of Biscay, one of tbe best built and best found ship I ever put my foot on board, ha been lost, about the same time, with others, and we hear nothing of any special committee with one or two naval officers on it to inquire into her loss. Having been in charge of two'; dockyards, a also captain of a steam reserve and commander in chief, it may interest your readers to know that the captain of steam reserve, the principal dockyard officers, the officer in charge of the dockyard, the officers of the ship and: her captain all sign document stating that she is in every respect fit for service at wait may be) said that with all that some officer in hi department may hive been overruled in hi judgment, and ome wish of his rejected. But, then, finally the commander in chief inspects and goes, over every part, is ready to any suggestion, and is responsible the ship leaves thoroughly efficient. Then, with all this which haa taken place, is'it necessary or is it just to these officers' that their opinions, already expressed, should be considered worthless 1 Unhappily, the Xavy is not represented in the House oX Commons, and a voice on behalf its members, and in opposition to those who would disestablish ns oil the face of the earth, is rarely heard, and if heard favouring of party. It wa said a few years ago that naval officers mutt bow to the altar of idenee.

There ha been much bowing to the altar of science that practical professional common tense has been shaken out of the brains, to the cost, of i the tsjf payer" and not to the benefit of the ser. vice. IVobably the Atalanta may have been scudding before thejeavy gale and either broached to or brought by the lee wixcli, for non professionals, means the her on orshe may have.rundoul of a waterlogged ship, which never could be seen In a dark night with a heavy sea. and snowdrift. While we all deplore and sympathize with the surviving ones, do not harrow their feelings by vague inferences aad suppositions, but with reverent submission feel, in the words of the charter party quoted by Sir Allan Young, She has been ioit by the act of God." May 25.

W. KINO HALL, Admiral HONORARY COLONELCIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES, Slr, I should be much obliged if yon eoold.gire me a few lines of your space to say a word on a matter which has attracted some attention among those whom it most nearly concerns. I have a resolution on the paper of the Hnuse of Commons which ends with a proposal to abolish Honorary. colonelcies.

I have spoken so often on this and kindred questions that I took it for' granted it would be known that I have the strongest regard for rested interests, but there hat been ome misunderstanding, and consequent uneasiness among those whose prospects are affected by the change which the resolution "advocate. I have accordingly added to the resolution the words, dne regard being had to the interests' of existing and in that shape I shall move it until the reform is effected. I ihould never propose) that officers who had become General with the expectation of succeeding to honorary colonelcies should be deprived of that expectation without an arrangement which would leave their pecuniary prospect, at least, the same as before. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, (J EOKGE OTTO TltEVELYAN. Home ofCommons, Slay 25.

i Merchasx Seames. The Government Bill, which' has been introduced by 3Ir. Ashley and Mr. Chamberlain relative to merchant seamen proposes to make void after the 1st of August, leol, all documents which promise the future payment of money on account of a sailor's wages conditionally on. his going to sea, and which are made before the wages have been earned.

If any money be paid in respect cf such an advance note," it will not le allowable to deduct it frohi the wages. But tbe provision will not affect notes made under the Merchant Shipping Act of 1664 for allotting tart of a manner's wage to his rieuds during his i i.e Bill also require the owner or master of a foreign goiLg ship to ay to each sailor on account, whenever he leave his ship at the end of his engagement 1' or a fourth of the balance due, whichever is itaat and the remainder of the wage is to be, paid within two days, exclusive of any Sunday cr Bank holiday. However, if the sailor consent, tbe cnal settlement may le left to the superintendent of a mercantile marine office under regulations to be by the Board of Trade, li the wages be not paid in accordance with these provisions, they will continue to run until the final onless the delay be due to tie sailor's Own act or defamt or to some reasonable as to liability, or to some other caue that is nnt the act or default of the master or owner. Where a question as to waxes is raised 'before, the sup erintendent of a mercantile marine ofticr between the master or owner of a ship anu a seaman or apprentice, the decision cf th(superintenderit is to Le final, it the amount inqtestioa does not exceed 5. Another clause, of tie Dili makes the law more stringent with regard to the penalties 1'or bring on board a.

ship without er It i also provided that a sailor shall not be entitled to the rating of an able bodied seaman until be has served at sea for four years. The Lut clause enables' couitvhayicg jurisdiction in disputes Jbetween owners or masters and teamen, or apprentices, to rescind contract between them on such term aa may seem just. Mil.
