The train will take saloons with family parties and sleeping and ordinary carriages for Perth and beyond, but will not pick up pas­ sengers en route. By this means an undisturbed journey willthus be secured, and the earlier arrival at Perth will give ample time for breakfast, &c., before going forward to the Highlands. The HIGHLAND EXPRESS (8.0 p.m.) will run every night except Saturdays. A will run every night, but on Sunday mornings its arrival at Dundee wiUbe 9.5a.m., Inverness 1.30 p.m., and it will have no connection to Oban (Saturday nights from London.) B will run every night, but will have no connection to Edinburgh and the North on Saturday night. C will run every night (Saturdays excepted). On Saturday passengers by the 11.0 a.m. train from London are not conveyed beyond Perth by the Highland Railway, and only as far as Aberdeen by the Caledonian Railway.

IgafrUiotT f e s t p . The abstract andbrief chronicleof the time.— Hamlet, A n “ Incog.” has been good enough to give me the particulars of an exceptionally good performance by Mr. C. A. Smith, whose bowling proved so useful to the Cambridge Elevens of 1882 and three fol­ lowing years. Playing for the Incogniti against Devonshire Park, at Eastbourne, on August 2 and 3, Mr. Smith had a hand in the dismissal of seventeen of the nine­ teen Devonshire Park wickets which fell to the bowlers. In the first innings he clean bowled seven wickets—the last three with successive balls, caught one from his own bowling, and made two fine catches in the slips, thus accounting for all ten. In the second innings he clean bowled six and caught one at cover-point. Of the three remaining batsmen one wTas run out, so that of the nineteen which fell to the bowlers, as I have already said, he had a share in the downfall of seven­ teen. My correspondent adds that the state of the ground was deplorable, cer­ tainly not a credit to its present managers, as compared with those of a few years back. A co rre sp o n d e n t, to whom I have been indebted recently for some valuable statistics, calls my attention to the fact that Mr. W. G. Grace’s 110 for Gloucester­ shire is his sixth innings of three figures against Australian teams in England. His other centuries have been: 1880. 152, for England, at Oval. 1884. 101, „ M.C.C. & G. at Lords. ,, 107, „ Gentlemen, at Oval. „ 116, not out, for Gloucestershire, at Clifton. 1886. 148, for Gentlemen, at Oval. This is indeed a wonderful record, more particularly, my correspondent adds, as no other English batsman has scored a hun­ dred more than twice against Australian teams here. The Champion's perform­ ance, too, is the more extraordinary when one considers that the First Aus­ tralian team did not come to England till Mr. Grace had passed the prime of cricket.
