The end of the wire is protected by a brass cap when the party leave after gun practice ia over. It is the first time that this means of communication has been tried, and Lieut. Chambers is to be congratulated upon the success he has achieved.
Col. Walkey paid particular attention yesterday afternoon to the skill of the officers in finding ranges. Before leaving hs addressed a few words to the officers commissioned and in the course of which he pointed out several matters which he thought should receive special attention. To Col. Harding he expressed himself as greatly pleased with what he had seen during the day.
When inspecting the cooking arrangements he spoke highly of the value of the apparatus invented by Capt. Varley. He had, he said, recommended rts "use to all regiments he had inspected during the last twelve months. The main feature of the contrivance is its compactness. Two of them, which will cook enough food for 2,000 men, can be carried on the back of a mule.
During the afternoon, a board, consisting of Major Tucker (president), Capt. Lindsay, and Major Broadhurst, examined and passed Lieutenant Billinghurst. To-day Col. Scott, commanding the Koyal Artillery, North-Eastern District, visits the camp to witness the gun practice. The annual inspection oi the brigade takes place Leeds on Saturday week.

NOTTS. VICTORY OF SURREY. Amid a scene oi great enthusiasm and excitement yesterday afternoon, at Kennington Oval, Surrey gained a brilliant and very hard-earned victory over Nottinghamshire by 154 runs so at last tho great Notts Eleven have received a check their successful career. The interest of the public was maintained in a remarkable manner, and during yesterday 12,652 persons paid for admission at the gate, this representing an attendance of over sixteen thousand, tn the course of tha three days, the number that passed through the turnstiles was 49,955, so that the record gate of 1877 has not quite been reached but excepting that occasion, it is pretty certain that 6uch a number of people have never before beeu present -xt a cricket match iu Eugland. At the close of Tuesday's proceedings Surrey were 34 runs ahead, with all ten wickets to fall, in their second innings and the early part of the day was witnessed the finest batting performance of the match.
The ground seemed easier and faster than at any previous time in the game, and Lockwood and Abel scored more freely from the Nottingham bowlers than any batsmen have done before them this season. The hundred was reached amid a roar of applause, and the total was actually taken to 140 before the first wicket fell. Lockwood, considering what little experience he has had in high-class cricket, played with the coolness and judgment of a veteran, and never gave a chance during his stay of an hour and fifty minutes. His hitting throughout was clean and vigorous, and his figures were eleven 4's, a 3, fourteen 2's, and a single. Abel was out at 149, and deserves almost as much praise as Lockwood, not making a single mistake iu his innings of 59, the chief hits of which were eight 4's.
four 3's, and three 2's. So delighted were the spectators a.t the success of the two professionals that a collection for them was made round, the same resulting in each man receiving twenty ruineas. When eight Surrey wickets had fallen for 205, the captain decided to make an attempt to win the match, and so declared the innings at an end. Notts were left with 219 to make in three hours and five minutes. The wicket, under the influence of a hot sun, was begmning to play treacherously, and the Notts men therefore set themselves out to play for a draw.
At first their efforts looked like being successful, and Shrewsbury, despite a couple of nard chances, played with great nerve and udgment. However, ire was bowled by Beaumont at 57, and the Surrey msn seeing their chance, bowled and fielded with wonderful dash and brilliancy. Lohmajm had tbe ground to help him, but bowled his best, and made the ball come back a lot from the off side. He aod- Beaumont carried everything before them, and at ten minutes to six Jlotts were all out for 84. There was a remarkable scene at the finish, the spectators crowding in front of the pavilion, and not being content until the heroes of the game had come out to bow their acknowledgments.

Charlesworth, not out The following circular, which has been issued by Lord Ripon, as Lord-Lieutenant of the North Riding, to the Peers, Members of Parliament, Deputy -Lieutenants, magistrates, and other influential persons in the Kdhig, has been sent to us for publication Studley Royal, Ripon, 22nd July, 1889. Sir, My serious attention, as Lord-Lieutenant of the North Riding oi Yorkshire, has been called by Lieut. -Colonel the Earl of Zetland, commanding the 1st North Riding of Yorkshire Artillery Volunteers, and by Colonel Sir William Worsley and Godman, the officers commanding the two Battalions of North Riding Rifle Volunteers, and also by Colonel Hudson, the Brigadier of the East York Brigade, to which the above Infantry battalions belong, to the letter from ths Horse Guards, dated the 27th May, and signed by Lord Wolse-ley, Adjutant-General.
This letter requires Volunteers to provide certain additional articles of equipment, on pain of forfeiting the capitation grant. According to the opinion of the officers above named, it is beyond the power of the Volunteers to provide these articles out of the existing funds at their disposal, and I am informed, indeed, that the North Riding Corps have to meet great financial difficulties at the present moment, and aro quite unable to take upon themselves a further expenditure which is estimated to amount to some 2 2s. a man for some 2J.0Q men, so that if the order be enforced tbo Volunteer corps in the North Riding will have to be brokon up, unless funds can be otherwise provided. Bearing in mind the action lately taken by the Lcrd Mayor of London in starting a Patriotic Fund to meet difficulty in the case of the metropolitan Volunteers, I feel fully justified in addressing a similar appeal to the North Riding to join me in creating a like fund for this district, and thus enabling our Volunteers, whether Artillery or Rifles, to meet the demands made upon them by the Government, and to place themselves in a position promptly to comply with any call for service which may be made upon them. "I shall be obliged if you will send your reply to this letter to Arthur Buchannan, Clerk of Lieutenancy, Guis-borough, Yorkshire.
I have the honour to be, your faithful servant, Ripon. I shall be happy to contribute 100 to ths fund." T. Lee, run out W. Fisher, Carter, Harris. A.

W. Bead, Attenrell IjOctTTOod, cSherwin, THE SOUTH YORKSHIRE VOLUNTEERS AT BLACKPOOL. Blackpool, Wednesday Evening. The weather is at last of a more seasonable character, and has allowed of the first full day's drill being put in by the South Yorkshire Brigade at Blackpool. The morning opened beautifully flue, and the son has continued to shine brilliantly throughout the day.
The heat has been tempered by a rather strong but refreshing westerly breeze, so that the conditions under which the work of to-day has been carried out have been most pleasant. All three battalions the Hallamshire, the Wakefield and Dewsbury, and the llotherham and Doncaster held early morning parades. At each the drill was of tha regulation order the customary battalion movements, with the manual and firing exercises. During the parades, from 10.30 to 1 o'clock, Maj or -General Stevenson, commanding the Northern Brigade, visited each of the camps, and reviewed the battalions separately the march-past and other movements, with the manual and firing exercises, bemg gone through. The reviewing officer addressed each of the battalions, and generally commended them upon tha clean state of their camps, their soldierly appearance, and their admirable drilling, lie had not a disparaging word to say to either of the three regiments.
Ihe first combined "brigade drill took place in the afternoon, the battalions assembling on the spacious ground of the 2nd York and Lancaster. As the weather was gloriously fine, a very large number of visitors were attracted to witness the proceedings. Brigadier -General Hudson was in and under his direction a number of evolutions were gone through. The march-past was taken ia column, in mass, and in quarter-column, together with other brigade movements of an intricate character. At the close of the drill, which extended over upwards of two hours, the Bnaadier addressed the three battalions.
He commenced by remarking that he had seen better drilling, but proceaded to say that under the circ*mstances, remembering that the bad weather had militated against their progress so far, he had much to compliment them upon. He particularly singled out the march-past for special commendation, and generally complimented the men upon their bearing in this important movement. He hoped that next year they might be able to continue the brigade encampment, and he trusted that arrangements might ba made by which the complete brigade could be got together. If that was done, he did not doubt that they would make considerable advances. On the whole, he had no fault to had either with the conditions of the camp, or as to the general bearing or drill of the men.
The brigade was then dismissed, and the battalions returned to their separate camps. To-morrow (Thursday) there will be only the two morning drills in the Hahamshire and Rotherham camps, the men being allowed a holiday in the afternoon. The sergeants of the Rotherham battalion have arranged to hold a Cinderella dance" at the Royal Palace Gardens from eight to twelve o'clock on Friday evening, and they have invited the officers and sergeants of the other two battalions to be present, and an enjoyable time is anticipated. The health and conduct of the men ot each camp are equally good, no case either of serious illness or had behaviour being reported. Mbaswood v.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, Ved-yesbas-. The Speaxeb took the chair at twenty minutes past twelve o'clock. THE IEISH CONSTABULARY VOTE. The House went into Committee of Supply, and resumed the discussion on the vote for 889,371 to complete the sum for the Royal Insa Constabulary. Mr.
W. A. MACD02TALD (Queen's Ossory) joined in tie censure upon the police for ttteir violent action in reference to the arrest of Mr. O'Brien and elsewhere. Mr.
SEXTON (Belfast, declared that never again should theji Government be allowed to bring on this important vote in a skeleton House of exhausted Members, when proper debate was impossible. He disputed the claim of the Chief Secretary that the feelings of the people of Ireland were pacified because constitutionai rights were destroyed and Irish representatives imprisoned and by the police. This vote presented an opportunity for the Chief Secretary to establish his claim, but as a fact in this Tory mulenram of permanent coercion the cost of police per head of the population was four times what it was in the beginning of the present generation in the strain and stress of troublous times. Did the Land Corporation pay for the battering-ram, or did the Chief Secretary in his public capacity glorify the ram, and in his private capacity pay for it (Laughter. If the battering-ram was such a precious thing for the Government, the police, and even for the people, the people were entitled to know to what anonymous donor they were indebted.for it.
Irishmen were not ungrateful, and they could not suffer themselves even by the reserve and. singular methods of the Chief Secretary to be subjected to the imputation that they were ungrateful to the gentleman, whoever he he, who had placed in their possession this palladium oi the Constitution, more valuable than trial by jury, more valuable than manhood suffrage, more valuable than secret voting, more valuable than anything wnich had been conferred on them, even by this enlightened Administration. (Home Rule cheers.) Turning to the employment of the Irish police during the sitting of the Committeee, Mr. Sexton contended that scores of thousands of pounds had been paid by the Times to Irish officials of all ranks for the purpose of ferreting out and refurbishing up false charges against those who ought to be the masters of the Irish police, namely, the representatives of the Irish people. The police in every part of Ireland had been the agents of Mr.
Soames. They had sought out witnesses, they had gingered up informers, they had threatened reluctant witnesses with prosecution, they had escorted witnesses from their native places to London, they had stabled those witnesses in their hotels, they had mounted guard upon them until, as in the case of Piggott, the moment arrived when the intelligent constables in charge, disarming the mind of tie executive, thought it was well to allow a loophole. for escape. He asserted that 20,000 would be a reasonable estimate of the sum the Irish police had received from ihe Times, and he submitted that it would be reasonable to move, as he sboald do, to reduce ihe vote by that amount as well as by the 63,000 for extra police allowances, for which the right hon, gentleman himself had shown there was no further occasion-Mr. Sexton also complained the treatment to which Dr.
Tanner had been subjected, and asserted that the delay in arresting Mr. W. O'Brien at Cork evidently took place with the intention of provoking the people to violence. He denied that there was any premeditated disturbance at Charieville, maintaining that the people who were assembled on the platform upon the arrival of the train did not even know that Mr. O'Brien was travelling by the train.
The inspector in command of the police was one of so excitable a temper that there was every probability his conduct would grve rise to a collision with the people and it was due to his conduct that any collision did take place, for there could be no doubt that the three first shots were fired, the first by the inspector himself, and the other two by sergeants in his company. In order to show how little fear there was of any popular rescue of Mr. O'Brien, it might be mentioned that when he was handed over to the police inspector at Tralee, he was driven over by the latter without any escort to his quarters, where bail was entered into. From the beginning to the end of this affair there was a manifest desire to provoke the people to disturb the pubEc peace, and give reason, give occasion for violence. (Hear, hear.) The hon.
Member then proceeded to complain of the manner in which various priests had been arrested, eon-tending that the object oi the police fa breaking into thai houses of some and arresting others while leaving the church could only have been to create a state of excitement which must result in violence. The blood of the police-officer who was frilled while engaged in arresting Father was on the head of the Government. (Cheers.) The result of the system pursued by the Government wa3 that the police force was degraded from the function of preserving order, protecting property, and detecting crime to being the agents of extortion and the means of suppressing political rights and attacking the representatives of the people. (Hear, hear.) He moved in conclusion, to reduce the vote by 63,000, the cost of extra police, and 20,000 for the pay of the pohce during the period they received payments from Mr. Soames.
(Cheers.) Mr. M. HEALY (Cork) discussed at some length the details of the CharleviHe incident. Mr. O'KEEFE (Limerick) said that the Irish pohce force was kept on foot, not for the protection of persons and property, but simply for carrying out the policy of coercion instituted in the interests of the landlords by the Chief Secretary.
(Hear, hear.) Mr. E. HAKBLNGTQN (Kerry, said the statement of Mr. Sexton was an incisive and clear exposition of their charge against the Government, by which they were content to stand or fall, and he challenged the Treasury bench to offer any defence to that charge. For some time he had been partaking of the hospitality of the right hon.
gentleman, and on going home after his release the first man who advanced to meet him was.struck on the ear by the pohce, which showed the moral cowardice and meanness of the pohce force. The greatest liar in the force who could concoct a story to justify their brutalities was sure of promotion. He was glad to hear by telegraph that the conviction of Dr. Tanner for assault had been set aside (Parneilite cheers)- and it was added that though the second case was pending, it was plain sailing now. The days of plain sailing for the Chief Secretary and his administration would shortly bo over.
(Ministerial cheering.) Mr. A. J. BALFOUR (Chief Secretary for Ireland) said it had been his duty on the previous Bight to address more than one long speech to the Committee, and therefore it was his intention to curtail the remarks he had to make within the narrowest limits. He had stated that there was increased confidence between the uoliee and the people, and the Government had everything to gain by promoting the feeling, so that there was something idiotic and calculated to shock the common sense of English public opinion in the suggestion that what they were doing was calculated to promote conflict between the Constabulary and the people of Ireland.
The improvement in the condition of Ireland made itself manifest in every part of the country, but, judging from the experience of the past, it had not been so great as to ustify the Gevernment in reducing the police force below its present numbers. (Hear, hear.) When agrarian crime was even lower than now, and when there was not a political party actively encaged in promoting disturbance, a larger number of polica was required than existed at the present moment. (Hear, hear.) Mr. T. HEALY (Longford, considered that the way in which their political opponents were treated was a proof that the Government of Ireland was-mean, malignant, and contemptible.
(Hear, hear.) The police in Ireland would not apply themselves to the ordinary duties of a pohce force. Thsy preferred hunting Members of Parliament and protecting landgrabbers at fairs when they came to sell their pigs. (Laughter.) It was a touching sight to see the bayonets of the Irish Boyal Constabularv and the Union Jack held by way of protection over the pigs of landgrabbers at fairs. This was dona the other cay in the case of Lord Courtown's pigs (renewed laughter) for Lord Courtown was the head of tha Property Defence Association, although it could not be said that he was much in the way of a head. (Laughter.) The Government stated that boycotted persons had been reduced in number but why did they not give the names of boycotted persons.
The whole policy of the Government was to irritate the Irish people, in order to enable them to say to the electors of England that they were unfit for self-government. That was the policy of the beaming intellect of the Chief Secretary, who had been sent to Ireland in the character of a gift-horse (laughter) who was fit for any other office in the Government, but it was thought right that Ireland should have the preference. It would not do. The pohce were the masters of the Government they would perform only the duties they thought profitable and remunerative their officers were selected because they were opposed to and hated by the Irish people. The Committee at half -past five divided upon Mr.
Sexton's amendment to reduce the vote by 83,600, when there voted For the amendment 132 Against 170 Majority against 38 The result was received with loud cheers from the Irish benches. The CIIAIKMAN then proceeded to put the motion to agree to the vote. Mr. SEXTOS objected. Mr.
W. H. SMITH" (First Lord or the Treasury) moved the closure. Mr. sitting, and with his hat on, asked whether a motion for the closure could be put from the Chair after the time for opposed business had passed.
The also sitting, said it had been repeatedly held that if a division was progress at half -past five the main question could be afterwards put. Mr. SEXTON requested the Chairman to recite a piece-dent. (Cries of Order from the Conservative benches.)

House of Commons, Wednesday. There -was a lond peal of laughter when Mr. Balfour ventured to declare last night that the relations between the Irish police and the people are visibly improving under ids nirmane rule, and that if only pourieal agitators would cease their troubling', there would be no difficulty in bringing about a perfectly g-ood understanding between them. This was only one of the extraordinary assertions in an extraordinary speech, but the Irish Members seized upon it as a weak point in the Chief Secretary's armour, and when the debate was resumed this afternoon, an amount of attention which must have been embarrassing to the risrht htm. gentleman was concentrated upon, this particular flaw.
Mr. W. Macdonald, the blind Irish. Member, devoted ids rhetorical ammunition almost entirely to it, and forcibly recalled to Mr. Balfour's mind the scenes at Mitcielstown, Cork, and CharleviHe as somewhat doahtfnl evidence of the truth of his too saruroine assertion.
His recital of the events of the last six stonths alone was sufficient to upset the absurd contention of the Chief Secretary, and to do something' more than upset it to show what Mr. Balfour's shrill and precipitate declarations, whether in the House or oat of it, are worth. As Mr. Sexton remarked in the course of his speech this afternoon, there is nothing- more grotearoa even in the Arabian Nights than this latest triumph which Mr. Balfour has claimed onto himself aa a signal result of his policy of peace.
Mr. Macdonald contended thai so far from the Chief Secretary's words being true, the relations between the people and police are at the present time more strained than they have been for a long time, and that matters must go from bad to worse so long as the Chief Secretary persists in pampering and praising the police in all their extravagances and brutalities of conduct, and systematically refusing to censure them even whra proved guilty of the grossest abuses of power. This view of the case was loudiy cheered by tie IN ationalist Members, and subsequent speakers ollowed on the same lines, ridiculing such foolish self-congratulations as the Chief Secretary is eternally seeking to comfort himself with. Mr. Sexton addressed the House for about an hour and a half, and undoubtedly made a smart speech.
He succeededin pretty wellcoveringfeTrlK)legroundof Irish maladministration, and delivered a trenchant attack on Bali oirnsm as it is now rampant. Some of his happiest hits were reserved for the Chief Secretary's battering-ram. He protested against the introduction of this machine of the Middle Ages," this inrportation from the siege of Jerusalem," and urged that from motives of gratitude the Irish people were eager to know who the anonymous donor was to whom they were indebted for this inestimable boon. We," he said, are a grateful people, and we are thankful for this paladium of the British Constitation, more valuable than trial by jury, secret voting, or household suffrage." Ixom the hattermg-ram Mr. Sexton turned to the Times, and -asked for an explanation from the Chief Secretary of the presence of hordes of Irish police in London, to all appearance placed unreservedly at the command of Mr.
Soames. These men- "received scores of thousands of pounds for the purpose of furbishing up false charges against the representatives of the people who ought to be their masters." In this strain Mr. Sexton dealt wfSi the new phases of Irish adiainistra-tion which had sprung up under the enlightened regime of Mr. Balfour, and invited the right hon. gentleman to a quiet contemplation of his own work and the happy results now apparent in a dominant military system and a bludgeoned and bayonetted people.
Mi-. Maurice Healy and Mr. Edward Harrington continued the debate, and then Mr. Balfour felt called upon to intervene, and to endeavour to refute some of the hard facts which had been put forward from the opposite side of the House. Mr.
Balfour had been sitting on ihe Treasury bench solitary and alone during the whole of the afternoon. The right hon. gentleman had been deserted by everg: one of his colleagues, and the Ministerial benches were very sparsely occupied indeed. Mr. Hanbury, with the exception of Mr.
Hayes Fisher and Mr. Ceo. Wyndham, the faithful retainers of the Chief Secretary, was about the most faithful attendant on the Government side of the House. The hon. gentleman listened to most of the speeches delivered, and did not disgaiea his sentiments with regard to the revelations which were made of official abuses and brutalities.
Altogether Mr. Balfour was very feebly supported, and the tone of his speech was much milder than the vindictive and personal tirade -with which he favoured the House last night. As a consequesce, feeling on the Irish benches did not run nearly ao high, and the Chief Secretary was allowed to make nch points as he could without interruption or obstruction. This invariably- the case. It is only when Mr.
Balfour is wild and unrestrained in his epithets and charges that Irish Members break -out into the fury over which he and his followers -attempt to make such capital. This afternoon the right ion. gentleman urged the excuses and defences which -are now so familiar, and which he never seems tired or 'ashamed of putting forward. Mr, Balfour is indefatigable in his righteous refutation of the "calumnies" and baseless imputations which are heaped "upon his devoted head, but there is a great sameness 'about it all, and even law and order is losing its attractive gilt. Mr.
T. M. Healy made a stirring and characteristically humorous reply to the Chief Secretary's speech, and the House rapidly filled up during the course of his remarks. In fact, Mr. Healy can command a much better Ministerial audience than Mr.
'Balfour himself, and before he had been on his feet a quarter of an hour this afternoon the benches on both sides were well filled- The hon. Member was as caustic jjjs ever, and ironically congratulated his party on the 'fact that not the Colonial Office or the War Depart-'anent, but the modest requirements of Ireland, had divorced Mr. Balfour from his native land, and had attracted the rays of his brilliant intellect across the Irish Channel. The epeech was a lengthy one, and was eagerly followed by the House at large. At half-past five o'clock a division was taken on Mr.
Sexton's amendment for the reduction of the vote by 83,000. This was negatived by 170 votes to 132 only a majority of 38 for the Government. The figures were received "with loud nationalist cheers. Immediately afterwards theclostrre was proposed by Mr. V.
H. Smith in order that the House should divide on the main question, bat the Irish Members contested the right to do this after half-past five o'clock and Mr. Soxron called upon the Chairman to cite a precedent. The hon. gentleman's remarks were loudly interrupted by the Ministerialists, and there were counter-cries from the Nationalist benches, above which could be distinctly heard the expression, "You're drunk." Mr.
Courtney, however, made no reference the incident, but having cited a precedent, called the division. The closure was agreed to by 164 votes to 122, and the vote was adopted by a majority of forty.

The High Court proceeded to the consideration of the Investigation Committee's report, which was under discussion when the Court adjourned on Tuesday. The committee withdrew their implied censure upon the Executive Council for prosecuting the appeal against the decision of tha Judges in the action against the Stonehouse Local Board, for tha recovery of 2,350. The decision was received with applause. The Executive Council had given relief to distressed members at a cost of 259. The Investigation Committee reported that as a result of the decision of the Reacting High Court, suspending the Subsidiary High Court of the TJuited States, only 1,872 members in that country had remained loyal to the Order.
Scven of these loyal courts were petitioning for a Subsidiary High Court for the States on the Pacific Coast of America, "and they recommended this petition to the serious consideration oi the High Court. Mr. Stead (Leeds) said the great point of division existing at present between Foresters in this country and the United States was that of a uniform scale of contributions, and upon the decision of the High Court would depend the future of Foresters in America. Mr. PAi.coi"EE (San Francisco) supported the application for dispensation, and explained th position of American Courts.
He said their loyalty to the High Court was shown by their decision on the colour question. He therefore appealed to the High Court to waive their requirements as to the graduated scale of contributions, and granta dispensation to the loyal courts. Mr. Lebk (London) thought if the High Court allowed a uniform scale of contributions, they would have a second split with the American courts worse than the first split. Mr.
Sweeney (Boston, U.S.), strongly impressed upon the High Court to allow a uniform rate of contributions to American courts. Under the Friendly Societies Act the order iiad no legal power to interfere with contributions of courts in foreign countries, and he appealsd to the High Court not to exercise the moral obligation. This restriction was the great stumbling-blocK to toe growth of Forestry the United States. Mr. Ciiapma proposed that the application be granted a resolution which was adopted with great cheering.
By the adoption of this resolutien the High Court revives the Subsidiary High Court oi America, which was dissolved by the Reading High Court meeting last year. On the proposition of Mr. E. B. Ssawceoss, assistant secretary, the following resolution was adopted unanimously That a graduated scale of contributions be not enforced upon the courts recognisfai by the Executive Council since the last High Court meeting, or upon Euiy other loyat courts or any other open courts, which may bo hereafter established in the United States of America, such courts being aDo-wed to lay dorn their own iinancial arrange-ments; the High Court of the Grder not to be held in any way responsible for the liabilities of those courts.
The Investigation Committee's report as amended was then adopted. The High Court adjourned at one o'clock for a sea excursion to the Isls of Wight and Portsmouth. Extra Total 7 wltts! Total ..168 bparxaiTEtD v. HHAjji.vfjr.Ey Sr. JlrcKAEL's.

"Just a little sunshine, just a little rain," i3 a fairly concise summary of the weather which has prevailed at Moreeambe since the Leeds Artillery went into camp at Bare on Saturday evening. Perhaps the latter portion of the quotation requires a little qualification those who have during the short period referred to been under canvas may say it needs altering considerably before it can adequately express what they have passed through. Sunday was fine enough, and so was Monday up to a certain point.
The sun wa3 slowly sinking behind the Cumberland hills on the last-named day when the change for the worse became apparent. Tip from the west came a huge bank of cloud. It was the precursor of a storm which will not be readily forgotten by the Volunteers encamped on Skelton's Point. The wind blew a perfect hurricane during the night. On Tuesday the rain poured incessantly, and things generally were about as wretched as they well could be.
It is asserted that the elements raged so furiously that when at mess the officers had difficulty in carrying on a conversation with their immediate neighbours. The results were often curious, to say the least For instance, it is said that the answer given to the question "What tune was the band playing?" was "Photography," he who made the reply being under the impression that the querist was asking what he was talking about. The profound relief a tine day brought after all this can easily be imagined. The weather yesterday was simply perfect. Moreeambe was seen at its best.
So far as the Volunteers were concerned, this pleasing state of affairs was of supreme importance, for the annual inspection oi the camp was yesterday made by Colonei Walkey, commanding Auxiliary Artillery Northern District. The Inspecting Officer, accompanied by Captain Lindsay, R.A., arrived on the ground shortly after ten o'clock, and was received by Colonel Harding. The brigade had been previously drawn up the field adjoining the camp, which is used for parades. Without delay Colonel Walkey proceeded thither, and was received with a general salute in line. At the outset a minute inspection was made of the men's clothing and accoutrements, the process occupying a considerable time.
The brigade then formed into quarter column by the right on No. 1 Battery. After wheeling to the left, a manoeuvre accomplished in a most creditable manner, they marched past the saluting flag in column, then in quarter column, and subsequently in column of route. Taking into account the uneven nature of the ground, there was little fault to be found with the wayinwMch this portion of the programme was performed. In one or two cases the distances were not quite satisfactory, but there was not much room for complaint.
The brigade having been again formed in line, Major Coghlan was called out to put them through the manual and'hring exercises. Colonei Harding then took command once more. The column wheeled to the left, marched up the field in fours, and after fronting deployed to the left. The various batteries having been detached, they were put through the customary drill by the junior officers. This concluded, line was re-formed, and the brigade then advanced in raview order, after which the men were dismissed.
In the course of the morning Colonel Walkey made a careful inspection of the buglers. Each one in turn was asked to give various calls, and at the close the Colonel said he was greatly pleased with the way in which they had performed the task. The recently formed squad of signallers also came in for a share of attention. The Inspecting Officer wrote out a message, "sltrhich was signalled from one corner of the field to another by moans of flags in the usual way. It was transmitted and received accurately.
Colonel Walkey said that although the operation was done slowly, ha was well pleased with their work, for accuracy was the most important consideration. He was glad that the squad had been formed, for it would undoubtedly be of considerable service to the brigade. There were on parade about 360 of all ranks. The officers present were Colonel Harding, Major Coghlan; Captains Cundy, Cumpston, Potter, Simpson, Stephenson, and Joy Lieutenants Kirk, Billinghurst, and Blackait Tucker, K.KLA. Captainand Quartermaster Varley and Surgeon RumboU.
Unfortunately, the services of the Surgeon were called into requisition whilst the parade was in progress. The heat of the sun, together with nervousness and excitement, proved to be too much for four of the gunners. They were overcome with faintness and sickaess, and had to be carried off the ground. A httle doctoring, however, sufficed to effect a cure, none of the caseg being very serious. These "casualties" showed one thing there is a decided need for an ambulance party, stilled in the use oi stretchers, and so on.
The modus operandi on the part of those who conveyed the patienrs off the field yesterday can only be fitly described as rough-and-ready. It is reassuring to find that a squad is to be trained daring the coming winter. Whilst on this topic, it may be mentioned that the health of those under canvas has been excellent The surgeon reports thai he has had one operation to perform, but as it was of no more serious moment than the extraction of a back molar tooth, it does not count for much. The faces of many of the men already bear traces of having been sunburnt, and the splendid air which it is the lot of Moreeambe to be able to boast oi has had an invigorating effect on all. After dinner the men commenced gun practice, under the immediate inspection of Colonel Walkey.
The value of the telephonic apparatus, which is bemg employed under the superintendence of Lieut. Chambers, of the Leeds Rifles, was then demonstrated. It works admirably, and is the means of saving a lot of time. Hitherto the signalling between the range party and those on shore has been conducted by means of flags. Ii it wa3 desired to show that a shot had gone a hundred yards beyond the target, there would be so many "wags" of the flag.
The telephone simplifies matters very much. Gun practice is carried on when the tide is low. The range party take with them a box containing appliances for transmitting and receiving messages.

They yesterday made 46 rtms for the last four wickets, Mr. Scott, who had gone in at 17 at the fall of the first wicket, being ninth out at 109, his SI being the result of an hour and fifty minutes' batting. It will be seen that Walter Wright ras the hero of the match, his thirteen wickets only costing about 3 runs each.

Casley, High Chief Suler, again presiding. A telegram of fraternal greetings and wishes for coutinned prosperity vras despatched to the High Court of Foresters at Bournemouth. On resuming in the aiter-noon, a resolution referring to Mr. Keison's report on the sickness and mortality of the Kechabite Order was ref arred to the new hoard of directors. The reports of the official valuer and order auditors were adopted, as was also the balance-sheets for the biennial period.
Resolutions were adopted that no high officer or other servant should be entitled to a pension, and that the rules of every new district should bs registered within twelve months of being instituted. A proposition from the Lancashire and Yorkshire district that districts undertaking tireir own extension work should be exempt from contnbnting to the extension fund was adopted as was a proposal from the Glasgow district, that the Order Belief Fund shall not be liable for claims from unregistered tents or districts. The Conference refused to sanction a plan submitted by the Northumberland disnct, enabling districts to apply the surplus oi the funeral fund to fcrnt a fund to pay sums at the death of members' children. Manchester district proposed that tents and districts not entitled to receive assistance from the Order Belief Fund be exempt from contributing to that fund, but it was lost. It was decided that the graduated scale of contributions should be made compulsory on all members joining the Order after registration of amended rules.
Sasolubons were adopted enabling a member to insure himself for 30, and his wife for 10, aud to secure twenty shillings per week sick payment, branches not being compelled to accept "clearance" members for mere than fifteen shillings per week. Mr. A. SI Stoddart, Bashlelgh, A. Hearae 29 Mr.
