The respective owner, in view of fussle, compare their chosen champions most carefully from stem to stern, their weight, their width, and examine every conceivable point so that one may not have the advantage of the other. When a pair have been selected each is handed over to the charge of a matter of ceremonies, the dress of which individual "olo custom" demands shall be a pair of spectacles and the lower half of a suit of Pyjamas. These gentlemen cannot accurately be said to belong to the uncleat honourable order of bottle holders, but rather brush holders, and with their brushes they proceed to knock off what little hair there is on a cricket's 'back, and as with human beings so it is with crickets, when their hair, is off and their backs are up they simply spoil for a fight. The covers are then removed and at it they go. The concern of the crowd in the battle is of course propor tionate to the amount of "pol" at stake, but they all push and bugle round the tub. The change that personal interest works in any object is really wonderful, for whilst preparations were being made for the second battle which took place we looked on the two combatants with eyes of indifference, caring not a jet who woo, and not even knowing t'ather from which, However, an acquaintance standing by, who professed that he knew all about the science of the game, pointed out the one upon whose victory he was prepared to wager his soul. There is contagion in this, so we forthwith planked down a full weight Mexican on the one the tipster fancied, while he also supple- mented his advice to the extent of fifty cents- a bold thing for him to do. However once we had the sbekel on our man we began to look upon him in quite a different light; he was far better looking than his rival, had longer and hairier legs, and claws that only a fighting cricket of the first water could ever hope to possess. In fact in all outward appearances he had no équial, and in a pitying sort of way we contrasted his points with those of his antagonist-all at the latter's experie, of course,

The covers being at last removed the fight begant, and with a swish and a chirp they were at each other's throats like thorough-bred bull- dogs, tugging and chawing as if the battle had been of their own making. First blood was scared by our favorite, that is, at least, if tossing bis rival heels over head can he called so. Round 2nd was also ours, while round 3 was a draw, but No. 4 was undoubtedly in the rival's favor, and with dismay we noticed that que chosen one hardly justified the lofty expectations we bad formed of him. That he was a scientific fighter he left no room doubt, and that he was also a poltroon be demonstrated with equal clearness later on. While victory seemed to smile on him he shaped well, but with the fifth round, which he lost, he also lost self respect everything, indeed, excepting his wonderful dash of speed which he used to good advantage whenever he found things getting a trifle warm for him. Fight fairly he would not, for he had evidently heard that

1

He who fights and runs away

May live to fight another day. However we lost our shekel, and gained what consolation we could from the quiet abservation of a critical bystander which was to the effect that the defeated, one was a noble specimen of fighter, but "his heart no belong plopper," True, thought we, but crickets are not the only creatures who have falled to fulfil, the high expectations formed of them by lacking this one essential.

That any fight is better than no fight every man with Brish blood is bound to admit, and that is about all we can conscientiously say for cricket fighting. What constitute the points of a boss fighter is still to us a mystery as deep as it is solema, but in this we rather lean to the opinion of the Great Captain, that as providence was once on the side of the big battalions it is even so to-day on the side of the big cricket.

THE ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN PATERSON.

The Malacca correspondent of the Singapore Free Press writes that Dr. Hoad returned from Kwala Pilah on Wednesday evening. (6th inst.) and tells the following account of the accident to Capt. Paterson, of the gist Highlanders. He and Licut, Sutherland, of the same regiment, were in Gemenchi after elephants. Capt Paterson, saw ont coming towards him, fired, and missed him with the first barrel, but hit him with the second, though not mortally. Capl. Paterson then sprang behind a tree, but the clephant caught him with his trunk round the temples, twisted him round and threw him, although Capt. Paterson hit the animal on its bead with his clubbed rifle. Whilst down, the elephant gored him through the thigh, the tusk fortunately going on the outside of the leg, thus missing the femoral artery. The animal then strove to kocad Capt. Paterson to death with its knees; but he clung pluckily to the animal's tusk, and the elephant could not free himself. The struggle must have been fearful, as Capt. Paterson says he can well remember the animal's knees being pressed against his body, as it tried to push him off its trunk with them. The coolies attached to the party then came up shouting; and the elephant suddenly threw Capt. Paterson away, and bolted. This took place about noon on the 27th, and it was not until the 28th that Capt. Paterson could be moved. As they had no water fit to drink, Lieut. Sutherland sat by the wounded man all night squeezing the dew from the leaves into his mouth, as his thirst was naturally very great. The next day the sufferer was moved six miles through the jungle to a house; and then down the Gemenchi River to Jumpol. At Kwald Jumpol Dr, Hoad met them, and brought Capt, Paterson to Kwala Pilah, where he left him. Dr. Hoad is of opinion that, although the muscles of the thigh are dreadfully bruised and twisted, yet there is no reason why Capt. Paterson should not recover. The way in which Capt. Paterson kept his presence of mind, and the plucky manner in which he held on to the "animal's trunk seem wonderful, and it is entirely to his action in a fearful emergency that he owes his life-for had he let go his bold of the trunk, he would probably have been crushed into a jelly in accordance with the usual method of an elephant in such a case. Capt. Paterson says, that although in such a terrible situation when the animal gored him, he could not help feeling, as the tusk passed on the outside of his leg "Thank Ged, the brute has mixed the femoral artery!"

The same writer wired on the 7th inst, that Dr. Hoad, who had retarded to Malacca from

the top agreed with the old soundings-400 fathoms-but there was a sheer dip to 740 and 800 fathoms. This "wall" was found to lie about N.N.E. & S.S.W., obliquely across the cable, which was NE. & S.W. For some time the grappling was very difficult and barren of results, as from the exceedingly irregular and broken state of the bottom It was evident that a fall of cliff had taken place at an angle with the cable, of which portions were buried. After fishing up pieces for a dis- tance of about 15 knots, communication was established with Port Darwin, and new cable laid. Up to 45 knots out from Hanjoewangle thesta bed was undisturbed, and at 45 knots out the first break in the cable occurred. Nearly 14 knots of old cable were recovered here. The weight of rock that must have fallen in on the lines, while they were hanging over the edge THE GREATEST NOVELTY TRAVELLING may be gathered from the fact that they could not ordinarily be broken by a strain of ten tons,

Passing on to the third and newest cable only laid last year, the wall was found to continue steep and jagged past this one, showing at 47 knots from Java a fall from 458 (old depth) to 700 fathoms, Evidently the edge of the cliff lies close along the line of No. 3 Cable, for again at 59 knots out there was a huge chasm 1,165 fathoms deep, where formerly it was hardly 700, the nearest sounding on the undis. turbed bed being about 630 fathoms. Of the 12 koots lost and relaid, pieces amounting to only 10 knots were recovered. The total cable buried or shattered therefore is 55 knots, of which 37 or 38 knots were got back, the remain- ing 18 being lost altogether.

Fortunately the Sherard Osborns had, fine weather all the time, and the tedious operations were conducted without a break. Great credit is due to Captain Fawcus, and the electrical performance of important a work. They engineers with him, for the prompt and efficient bring back with them a few specimens of fine soft mud from the bottom, which seems to be the same as that generally found about Bali

Strait. It will be sent home for examination, but is not expected to afford any clue as to the nature of the disturbance. Of the rock, of course the sounding instrument could get nothing. The broken ends of the cable are also brought back and sent home, at the special request of the management; they are very clean cut, and testify to the immense force, whatever it waI, that snapped them.

Telegraph Company's steamer Sherard Osborne returned this morning after having successfully re-connected the sub- marine cables, two from Banjaewangle to Port Darwin, and ons to Roebuck Bay, broken by the volcanic disturbances on July 11. The opera tions bave revealed an unusually violent change in the conformation of the ocean bed, which can be best descrited by following the course of the soundings and grapplings.
