A somewhat quiet week has appropriately followed Ascot. The racing at Gosfttrih Park, Windsor, and. San-, down Park was, all things considered, fairly satisfactory. We shall bot for many months be able to shake off the effects of the long-contanoed drought, which, if it reduced one of the races closing overnight to a match at a meeting like Sandpwh Park, must be disastrous to the smaller fix tares.

Whabtos, E.N., Elliot Stock. tv is not a little surprising that Cook's own record of momentous voyage which enlarged the boundaries known world try the addition of Australia has Sept for a hundred and twenty years nob unknown, not 1 unused, hut never till now given to the world jn his own words. What males this the more tetnarliable is that it was not intended for nor prepared for publication, for the most worthless stuff is fought and read with avidity if the public can only persuaded that the writer wished to keep it private. The reason for ths non-pnblicafcion is stated follows After the return of the Endeavour it was decided that a full and comprehensive account of the voyage should be compiled.

Cook's Journal dealt with matters from the point of view of the seaman, the explorer, and the bead of the expedition, responsible for life and for its general success. The journals of Mr. Banks and Dr. Solander looked on the scientific side on all that presented itself to Jiflir enthusiastic observation. What could be Board Totfcl.

Tata! CRICKET. WARWICKSHIRE CLUB AND GROUND v. WORCESTERSHIRE CLOT AND GROUND. This match was contmned ad the Comity Ground, Edibaston, on Saturday, and ended in 6 draw favortr of Hie home team. It will be remembered that evfemiht the visitors had made 161 runs far the loss of nine wickets, as against a total of 114 compiled by.

too home sidein thewfesS innings. The Wtircestershire innings was quickly finished off on Saturday for. the addition of 11 that the Warwickshire Clab and Ground commenced their second venture 58 runs to the bad. Law and Quaifs were the first pair ef batemen, and runs oame rapidly, the SO going up aftsr half an hour play despite repeated changes in the bowling. Thedeficit was wiped off exactly when Law was caught in the slips for a very useful 30.

Diver followed in, and same splendid cricket was witnessed, the newcomer playing with great freedom, and on one occasion driving a ball from Mill ward over the top of the grand stand. This stroke brought up the 100 but 14 runs later, and when he wanted five to complete bis 50, Quaife was caught by Wheldon close to the pavilion rails from a lofty drive. With Santail in, the eriekst continued to be of a very lively description, and 104 runs were added ere the last coiner was bowled for a capital innings of 34. Shortly after the advent of Major, Diver completed bis 100, but when his total was 123 he was stumped. He had played (trend, cricket, and his chief hits were Bijnteen.4'8, two 3'a, and twelve 2's.

R. Williams came next, bnt only made 6 runs 'and the innings was then, closed, the score being 263 for five wickets. Two hoars only remained for play, so that the chances were all in favour of a draw, 'Ihe firet three Worcestessbire wiokets fell rapidly, however, and there wbs juBt a smau hope of Warwickshire's victory; Bnt this was destroyed whSn MilTward and Smith became partners, for they played most cautiously and when. Smith was dismissed by a fine catch in the long-field by Williams, the game was saved. WARWICKSHIRE CK.TJ3 AHD GEOtOTO.

I'Anson's stable was, of course, not responsible for this mistake, but it was very hard indeed on the public, when tie horse was allowed to be backed for days at about 2 to 1, to find that they were not going to have a run for their money. If people play with edged tools they must expect to cut themselves, and, knowing how absolutely indifferent some stables are as to the fate of those who back their horses these kind of lessons cannot be too much laid to heart Sbanerotha, I am delighted to think, got well beaten, and the stable, who quietly backed him while the public were supporting toe other, lost their money. Had they been content to accept thefair price that wasalwaysobtain-able about Newcourt as King Charles was until the scratching of Newcourt always a hot fafoarite they would have won their money as matters turned out beyond any donbt bnt thinking that Shancrotha could just about win, and that they could lay out their money at more than doable the rate, they went for the longer odds and lost.

There was no reason why Newcourt should not have been left in until the very last, so tor as any law or rule is concerned but it does not add to one's peace of mind to find that you have bean allowed to back a horse at a short and ruinous rate that all along was not intended to run.

In the quietcountry towhich he comes, Dale Bannister causes acommotion.

The village doctor, a foolish young man, is an enthusiastic admirer of his, and by his ostentatious sympathy with bis views, and declaiming Bannister's revolutionary and Anarchist rhymes, -he loses his practice, brings misery on his house.and the most tragic consequences to himself. Bnt the poet, whose heart has never been in the words which flow so gliby from him, is fascinated by the daughter of the squire, and under her influence crowns a gradual apostacy by consenting to write an ode to H.R.H. the Duke of Mercia, who is coming to open an institute at Market Denborough. This drives the poor doctor, who has ruined himself by fidelity to the principles of the poet's earlier writings, to a frenzy in which he commits a great crime, attempting the life of the poet. As it chanced, the lady ne loved, and who had promised to be hi3 wife, and the lady who loved him were both near him at the time, and the latter was seriously hurt, presumably in rushing forward to warn him of danger.

Out of this circumstance complexities arise. The hook is very lively and animated bat there is a sense of unreality about it. Even the mayor of the little town and the persons of local importance are caricatures. Perhaps the most life-Aaou-tai' in the book is the souira. Mr.

Ovarnight Sussex had gone in with 187 to Ret, and ih a qnarter of An hour had lost threa ti their weakest batsmen for runs.

Thus, when the game was continued, they wanted 153 to win, and had wickets to fall. The early play wSs marked by nothmg but disaster for the county, Murdoch being run out, oy a brilliant piece of fielding at 22, Bean caught at thirdman at 27, andMatlow caught s6 the wicket at 42. TheUj with thB match in a desperate position, Newhato and Brann played wonderfully well, gradually mastering the bowling, and being still together at teach-time, when they had carried the Bcore to 132, or only 25 still jKiquired. On making a fresh start they added two siBglas, and then rain caused a delay of just over half an hour. Immediately the players began again Newham, for the second time in the match was run out, he and Brann having during their partnership put on 92 runs and entirely changed the appearance of the SftJJ Newham was batting nearly an hour and fifty minntes for his splendid 56, his hits ineludmg ais 4's, two 3's, and eight 2's.

Without in any way disparaging his innings, the fact must be mentioned that he had one remarkable pisre of luck, a ball bowled by Wells touching one of the bails without removing it. When he left, Sossex only wanted 23 to win, but th end was not reached without Borne little excitement, Smith being out at 153. Then Brana and Guttridge made the 4 remaining runs, Sussex winning the match' shortly before four o'clock by two wickets. Brann took out his bat for 57, the victory of Sussex being clearly dne to him and Newham. Very soon after he went in he jumped out to drive a ball which beat hfm and the wiokefckeeper sa well, and towards the close of the game be gave a possible chance at third man but his innings, coming when it did, was an extremely fine one.

For all of whioh reasons I say again I am delighted that Shancrotha lost his race. Joicey can be condoled with for his great disappointment! with King Charles.

Bought with an express view Of winning this race, which fell to his share in 1891 with Queen's Birthday, he has secured a by no means enviable bargain. In some respects it would have been a good thing if, after unseating Mullen at his second blind rush at the rails, he had fallen and broken his vioiou3 neck. In the Lincolnshire Handicap he behaved like a mad horse, and though he was on his best behaviour in the City and Suburban the improvement was only temporaryj as he was seen again at his very worst in the Northumberland Plate. His disappearance seemed to smooth the wav nicely for Shancrotha but Seatoa Delaval, who was "meeting the Highfield horse on 121b better terms than in the Manchester Cup, easily turned the tables. Of the other events afcOosforth Son of a Gun found himself in company he could beat in the North Derby, for which Harbinger, who was greatly fancied, finished second, and Sweden, who won the Queen's Plate the next day, fourth.

The journal was in triplicate. One copy was probably kept for and presented to George and is now in the possession of his grand-daughter, her Majesty the Queen. Another copy is in possession of the Admiralty; a third seems to have been appropriated by the secretary of the Admiralty, Sir Philip Stephens, a friend and appreciator of Cook's, to whose descendants it passed, subsequently coming into the market, and being purchased in 1890 by Mr. John Corner who, being an enthusiastic admirer of Cook, determined to publish it. This intention the unrespecting pallida Mors prevented, for while he was busied with preliminary arrangements he died suddenly.

His son here piously carries Out the wishes of his father. Of the voyage as a whole probably a better idea will be gained from Hawkesworth, or from some of the popular books based on that account, or from Mr. Besant's brief but brilliant memoir. The daily records of the wind, the depth of the water, the course of tae vessel, the minutte of navigation, all expressed with great brevity, for many people will prove unreadable, and will make extensive skipping a necessity.

Thursday racing was tne Clarence anu jivouuaiB Stakes, for which Worcester, who was thought to have a good chance, was made favourite, and backers made no mistake in their selection, for he won the race by four lengths. However, backers had a rebufi in the Summer Handicap, for which Quick-fcob was most fancied, but he suffered defeat by a head, and Nobleman secured the winning brackets.

Passing to Friday's sport, the British Dominion Two-year-old Stakes fell to a well-backed candidate in Pomade Divine, who came in four lengths in front of Hortensia, while Pendennis completed the placed two. The Selection Stakes was reduced to a match between Mansion and Watercress, and so much money was invested over Mr. Vyner's colt, but at the fall of the flag odds of 6 to i were laid on him. These he easily secured by three parts of a length. Next week will see theracing battalions at the metropolis of the turf, while Carlisle, Newton and Kempton Park meetings will also beheld.

These two men made. 228 for ths first partnership, and when the stumps were drawn on Friday night Middlesex had scored 353 for thB loss of five wickets. On commencing onSaturday morning Richardson and Lockwood bowled so finely that the remaining wickets fell for an additional 2 runs.

This collapse partially prepared the crowd for the subsequent downfall of the Surrey men against Hearna and Rawlin. Surrey were left with 199 to get to Win, bnt the? scarcely at Any time looked like getting them. Between 12.60 and two o'elook they lost four good men for 43, and after that their position was hopeless, a shower praveating the; match being continued until three o'clock, and in the hour afterwards three other batsmen ware dismissed, carrying the total to 107.

E. C. Conrad has translated this little work from German, and very well he seems to have accomplished his task. Although it treats of the rudiments of photography, the volume can scarcely be recommended for the use of the average beginner. But to those individuals who are acquainted with the elementary principles of photography, and even to the expert, it will prove of considerable service, for there is a profusion of valuable formulas, while the matter-of-fact straightforward treatment will enhance the merit of the publication in the eyes of those who wish rather to be instructed than amused.

The fact that the volume is written from a German point of view will serve to institute some interesting comparisons. Hints on Advocacy. By RrcHABD Haxbis, Q.C. London: Stevens and Sons. When a book reaches its tenth edition there is no need to say that it is readable.

It was most unfortunate that the weather should have proved so unfavourable, as rain fell heavily during ihe greater part of the afternoon, and the yearlings when ridden into the ring were by ho means seen at their best. The highest price-namely, SOOgs. was paid by Sir James Miller for a chestnut colt by Bend Or Raeoyery, and he was certainly rather a nice yearling. The colt by Sheen Lady Binks was well bought by M. Sohiebler at and T.

Wadlow did not pay beyond his value when he gave 850gs. for the colt by Hampton Rebecca, One of the bargains of the sale, however, was the fitly by Hampton Gallantry, whs was sold far below her value to Mr. Brassey ot 260gs. FRENCH RACING. AcTHinii, June 25.

Snch are the Vicissitudes attending this kind of Service, and must always attend en unknown Navigation where one steers wholly in the dark withont any manner of Guide whatever. Was it cot from the pleasure which Naturly results to a man from his being the first discoverer, even was it nothing more than Laud or Shoals, this kind of Service would be insupportable, especially in far distant parts like this, Bhon of Provisions and almost every other necessary.

If dangers are his esciise, he is then charged with Timeroasness and want of Perseverance, and at once prononnced to be the roost unfit man in tie world to be employed as a discoverer if, on the other hand, he boldly encounters ail the dangers and Obstacles he meets with, and is unfortunate enough not to suoceed, he is then Charged with Temerity, and, perhaps, want of Conduct. The former of these Aspersions, I am confident, can never be laid to my Charge, and if I am fortunate to Surmount all the Dangers we meet with, the latter will never be brought in (Question; altho' I must own that I have engaged more among the Islands and Shoals upon this Coast than perhaps in prudence I ought to have done with a single Ship and every other thing considered. But if I had not I should not have been able to give any better account of the one half of it than if I had never seen it at best, I should not have been able to say wether is was Mainland or Islands; and as to its produce, that we should have been totally ignorant of as being inseparable with the other and in this case it would nave been far more satisfaction to me never to have discovered it. But it is time I should have done with this subject which at best is but disagreeable, and which I was led into on reflecting on our late Dangers.

NEWMARKET. THB COUNTY CHAMPIONSHIP. With their victory over Surrey, at Lord's, Middlesex have placed tbemssiveson a level with Yorkshire, though, thay have played two more matches than their northern rivals. By beating Gloucestershire, Notts have slightly improved their position, bat they, like Surrey, bare already suffered three defeats. E.

M. Grace, and Juuard to avert defeat Tor a time matters went on so well with Gloucestershire that the score was takan to 331, and only two more wickets fell. At that point Gloucestershire were 141 runs on, with three wickets in hand, and tbero looked just a chance oi the home county being able to save tbe game. The re-maininc batsmen, however, offered a poor resistance, and, tbelast three wickets falling for 17 tana, the. iiinings closed at ten minutes to four for 248, having altogether lasted three hours and ten minutes.

In the morning the last five wickets put on 105 runs a little over two hours, and under the circumstances, the Gloucestershire men acquitted themeelses very The chief honours rested witb Bice, who had gone i in with four wickets down for 113, and took out his bat for an extremely well-played 64. He was at the wickets two hours and fifty minutes, dunne which time runs were scored, and, so far as could be seen, he did not make any mistake, but batted throughout with great skill and determination. His chief hits were six 4 seven 3a, and one 2. IS. M.

Grace and Eica were partners for an hour and twenty minutes, and put on 57 runs for the suth wicket, and Lnard bit up 28 out of 42 added for the seventh. Notts were set 159 runs to get to win, and, as ths wicket was faster in the afternoon whets they went in the task was not a very serious one.

Ueorge Bryers, tne landlord of the Prince of Wales beerhouse, Hendon Street, Pimlicq, London, was charged at Westminster, on Saturday, with promoting an illegal lottery namely, a sweep on the Derby.

Mr. Wontner, who prosecuted, said that there were grave suspicions as to the fides of the draw. The sweepstakes was described as "Bryer's annual excursion to the Derby," and tickets with those words printed thereon were sold for sixpence each. A calculation showed that something like tickets were sold. Bryera must have received something like 100., but be only divided 53., and the list of horses which was printed for the use of subscribers included a lot of steeplechasers and names of animals which were in last year's Derby.

Mr. Dutton said the defendant had had the sweep for years, and it was dene openly enough. The draw was a perfectly fair one. The niagistratefined the defendant 20. and five guineas coats.

The Fesnch Chews at Henley. A Renter's telegram from Paris says the boats to be used by the French oarsmen at Henley Regatta win probably be despatched to England on Thursday next. The men will leave on July and, travellmij by way of Dover and Calais, are expected to proceed direct to Henley, withont making any stay in London. On arrival at Henley, where rooms have been engaged for them, the oarsmen will be received and. escorted to their headquarters by their English comrades.

On account of the Ion? journey, and out of consideration for those who ara training, no official function will take place on that day. I is expected that, in addition to the members of the London Rowing' Clnb and other leading clubs, a large number of rowing men -will assemble to greet the French crews. Most of the French competitors are members of the Basse-Seine Clnb. The Society d'EiiOTuiagement of Nogoni-sur-Marne will send the Brothers Boudin as a pair, and M. Fecwick as a sculler.
