The late Drowning Accident at Bally- castle. An inquest was held yesterday on the body of the young man Lynn, who met his death ou Friday last whilst fishing at tho Gobb rook, by Dr. J. Camao, coroner for the district.

The evidence of the lad's brother, who accompanied him, went to show that, when stauding on the rook, a heavy wave came upon him and suddenly washed him off the rock. Dr. O'Connor stated that death resulted from drowning, aud that several slight contusions and scratches were on tho limbs and other parts of the body, but not sufficient to cause death. The jury broughtin a verdict according to the medical testimony. Much sympathy is expressed for the relatives of the deceased.

Mr. Marron seconded the motion, which was passed unanimously. Carriokfergus District Petty Sessions. The monthly court of petty sessions for the Car-rickfergns district of the County Antrim was held yesterday, before Mr. J.

Crawford M'Cay appeared for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and Mr. Hugh C. O'Doherty appeared for the defendant. For the defence a butcher was examined to show that tho use of the knife for marking cattle so as to bo able to identify them after crossing the channel was the best, and the only effectual means.

Newmarket, Monday Night. Speculation at the London olubs was by no means heavy to-day, nnd there was scarcely anything doing on the Manchester Cup, for which Trayles, Claymore, and Kenihvorth were the nominal favourites. Donovan kept his place at the head of the Derby quotations at 9 to 4, but 4 to 1 was offered against El Dorado, whose companion, Enthusiast, was the medium of strong support at 8 to 1, and should ho confirm the Two Thousand Guineas in the Newmarket Stakes he would become a pronounced favourite so general is the opinion here that he has marie and is still making great improvement. Only Donovan, Enthusiast, and Pioneer were in quired after for the Newmarket Stakes, whioh stands out in bold relief amongst the events to be decided on the classic heath, tins week, and should prove one of the most successful races of tho-season. The prospects of tho Second Spring.

Meeting are highly encouraging, from overy point of viow, and the weather could not promise better to-night, whilst the course is in excellent order. Large fields look like being the rule to-morrow, when the following may win Trial Stakes, Neapolis Match, Vanish colt Visitors' Plate, George or Dog Rose Selling Plate, Mirabelle Exning Plate, Semolina Dyko Plate, Carthusian or Hacklcr Lonwado Plate, St. Patrick or Cobbler Maiden Plate, Marvel or Shamrock Seoond Handicap, Mamia.

Dublin, Monday, The first real summer's weather has coincided this year with the opening day of the Fitzwilliam Lawn Tennis Tournament. The present meeting is a truly interesting one, and tho competitors who are marked for the great contest this week have a world-wide fame. The weather, though glorious for visitors, promises to be pretty warm for the combatants.

H. Grove, of the All-England Lawn Tennis Club, won the first two sets of this matoh with little difficulty, the score being 6 games to love and 6 games to 2. In the third set, Boyd, who is a member of the Dublin University Club, made a much bettor fight. Deuce games were called, the set eventually being won by Grove 8 games to 6 who thus won the match. Grove, who is suffering from a sore hand, played a very good game, In neither of the other matches commenced at eleven could much interest be taken by visitors.

Thoy were simply walk overs, C. Roborts winning his 3 sets without allowing Day to score more than 3 games in all. In the matoh Miss Steedman v. Miss Maude," there could be little doubt as to the result, tho former player winuing easily with the sets to 1 game and 3 games. Taylor, of the Fitzwilliam Club, had a walk-over, E.

G. Moors, of the Chiswick Park Club, not putting in an appearance. Another walk-over resulted from the tie Miss L. Rice v. Miss M.

Lan-grishe. A fair tusslo occurred between a Chatterton, of the Fitzwilliam Club, and H. S. Mahony, of the Dublin University, but the best-contested event of the morning's programme took place between F. O.

Stoker and M. J. Carpendale, two members of the Lansdowno Club. In the first sot of this match Carpendale -won four consecutive games, Stoker thon scored three, and two more to his opponent finished the set. This order of things was reversed in the next set, which fell to Stoker with the same score in games, Stoker won the two further sets required to win the match.

The play throughout was very even, and both men were thoroughly played out at the close. The tournament will continue until Thursday, BELFAST RIFLE ASSOCIATION.

A special meeting was held yesterday at twelve o'clock for the purpose of consider, ing what means should be adopted in consequence oAhe dearth of water with which the town is at present threatened. The Right Honourable the Earl of Rtmfurly (chairman) presided, and the, other Commissioners present were Messrs.

Francis Hale, J.P.; Henry U. Kelly, John Gray, George H. Scythes, William Twigg, M.D.; John Maegeagh Anderson, Richard Curtis Marshall, John Langland6, Henry Newell, Thomas Bryars, Robert 'Clean, and John Aiken. The clerk (Mr. James M.

Hamilton) stated that on Saturday last he had visited tho reservoir, in company with Messrs. G. Scythes and R. Marshall, and found tha' water was entering into the tank at the rate of twenty frallona per minute, and he had ngnis visited it that day, when he found the entrancs supply to be only at the rate of fifteen gallons poi minute. Mr.

John M. Anderson said the summer of 1 887 was much drier, and his firm (Messrs. Dickson, Anderson, Co.) were supplied with extra water that year, notwithstanding which there was plenty of water in the reservoir. He believed there must be a stoppage occasioned in the water pipe through which the supply is passing from tho reservoir at Cappagh by stuff which would rewlily accumulate. Mr.

Scythes said the reservoir was full, and miming over a month ago. Mr. John Orr. water inspector, was present, and stated that when the water supply to the lower part of the town was cut off the water rose in the reservoir. Mr.

James Browne, J.P., Donaghmore, and tho stono and lime company were the only parties supplied with water before it reached the tank. A general discussion ensued, after which the following resolution was proposed by Mr. J. M. Anderson, seconded by Dr.

Twigg, and unanimously resolved: "That we, the Town Commissioners, view with alarm the low state of the reservoir, and thev consider it their duty to point out to the Board of Guardians the necessity of taking active and immediate steps to seo the oause, and avert what might be a dangerous water famine, and that Messrs. Seythes, Kelly, Andorson, and Gray forma snb-committee to look after the matter." Lord Ranfurly brought forward the matter as to the resuscitation of Dungannon fair, and said it but required to be properly advertised, as theTe were plenty of buyers willing to attend, and the only thing was for to see that cattlo were forthcoming for sale. After a lengthened discussion on the subject, tho following Commissioners were nominated as a committee, with power to odd to their number, to take the matter in hands M'Clean, Langlands, Newell. Bryars. and Scythes.

Lord Ranfurly also stated that, with regard to the markets, a decided improvement had taken place both this year and the previous year, and they were still in a most encouraging state of progress. The following letter was read by the clerk Howard Terrace, Dungannon, May 20th, 1 889. Dear Sir Having been appointed medical inspector under the Local Government Board, and in consequenoo having to reside in Gal way, I beg to tender my resignation of the seat I hold at your Board, and, in doing so, wish to express the "great regret I feel at having to sever my connection with Dungannon. I am, dear sir, very faithfully, Thomas J. Browne.

Mr. James Hamilton, clerk. Duniraunon Town Commissioners. Dungannon." On the motion of Mr. Henry Russoll Kelly, seconded by Dr.

Twigg. Dr. Browne's resignation was accepted, t'v. Board expressing their sorrow at his removal, but congratulating him on his appointment. This concluded the business.
