Frozen Meat SMpe,

I'm: liritish King arrived at the Docks from Wellington on July S, after a passage of -Hi day?, iier dates were Wellington, May -! : Kio, June liJ ; Madeira, July 1 : and Plymouth. July li. She brings 0,000 carcases of mutton, the majority of which were shipped by the Gear Meat Freezing Company. They are very fine sheep, were land yd in prime condition, and would have realised fair prices if only they had been judiciously manipulated. The truth is, the consignees of this shipment seem to hare blundered somewhat. Experience proved long ago that the best way to obtain tho top market price for frozen mutton is to place your lot of carcases in the hands of ■nc firm of salesmen who thoroughly under stand the trade. It doesn't do to employ a number. They simply undersell each other and lower the market rate. This is what: happened with the British King's meat. Lots were placed in the hands of a number of small men. They damaged one another's siie, and the weather being extremely hot, li -id eventually to accept shockingly bad p ice to clear out their stock. Some of the British King's mutton fetched 5d and ri.Ul, but in many places it could bo obtained for Id, 3ifl, and even 2.'.d alb.

The worst feature of the whole business i- that such fiasros as this have a per manently injurious effect on tho market. Housekeepers who can obtain choice meat for iiJ.fl ;i lb. oni- day naturally growl at having to give "id for it: the next.'

Tl,o N.Z.S. Co.'.* Aorangi arrived at Plymouth on July Nth, after a passage of 37 day.', i.e., just a few minutes slower than (ho Tongariro'H fastest on record. Her date* were: Wellington, May 29 ; Rio, June •JO : Madeira, July 1 ; and Plymouth, July 8. She brings 13,000 carcases of mutton, which were landed in good order, and are being disposed of in a much depressed market at >V,d per Ib.

Tin; Oamaru, which left Lyttelton on April 4, arrived at the Docks on July 6, with a cargo of 10,000 carcases of frozen mutton, in good condition. Her meat is fetching 5d to u.UI, like the Aorangi's. in addition to the foregoing, the Opawa, from Wellington, and the Turakina, from

Napier, each with 5,000 carcases of frozen mutton on board, have arrived. None of their meat has been sold yet. I need scarcely point out that the present i< v singularly unfortunate moment for a licet of meat ships to arrive. Apart from the facts that we arc in the midst of an un usually hot .summer, and that very few people cat much meat at this time of the year, tiie market seems in a depressed state. 1 foar the glut may make matters worse. Uosidefl Jlaslam's refrigerator, two others are now at work in the Health Exhibition. One is Siebe, Gorman, and Co.'s patent, and contains a number of carcases of New Zea land frozen mutton from Fitter's depot in Leadenhall Market. The other bears the name of the Clold Dry-air Refrigerator, and h patented by Messrs J. and E. Hall, who exhibit therein milk, cheOFe, fowls, meat, and ti<h which have made two voyages to India in a I', and 0. boat, and are novcr llii.'lo* in A ! eniiditiori, Keturn of the Australian Cricketers. The Australian cricketers are ttill uncer l.iin whether they will return via America r>r through tho .Suez Canal. Almost without exception they are in favour of taking the United State- on their homeward journey, for those who were fortunate enough to pass through the Western Continent during former tour- have many pleasant memories </f their visits. Philadelphia is a city they uro anxious to see again, and efforts are being made to arrange a match, or perhaps several, with the gentlemen of Phila delphia. Against their taking the trans- American route w tho consideration of expense. Tho .Messageries Maritime* Steamship Company, who hotly compete with tho l'eninvula and Oriental and the t irient line? for tratlie between Europe and Australia, have made an oiler to carry the party at a very low rate. But they may be tempted by profit to be made in America to decline the Messageries contract. Murdoch is very anxious to arrange a ■ rie- of matches on the way between New 'fork and San Francisco, and if the matter '.sera left in his hands it would be speedily Httled that way. As it i<, however, the Ic.iin is managed by a committee for the | j tint-stock company running the specula tion. Those who have seen tha Philadel phians play declare that since an Australian team was in America in 1882, the States representatives have greatly improved.

SHOCKING DEATH OF AN ENGLISH JUDGE.

The London correspondent of the San Francisco " Chronicle" telegraph as fol lows : _" A scandalous disclosure was made today at the inquest over Judge Watkin Williams, who died suddenly on Thursday night at Nottingham, England. Judge Williams was a leading member of the Eng lish Bench, and ranked deservedly high among lawyers on account of his learning and ability. He was the head of a large family, and highly respected in society. He was especially popular among English re former?, was a frequent orator at meetings in the interest of social reforms, and was generally looked upon as a pattern of all the virtues. He was at Nottingham in the performance of his reguhr duties on the .) uflieial Circuit, and was in the apparent enjoyment of excellent health during the day. He died suddenly and the news of his death was received tho next day with mi rprise and sorrow. It was given out that he died from a sudden attack of heart dis ease. At the inquest, however, the Cor oner, in pursuing his inquiries as to the circumstances attending the learned Judge's death, brought out the fact that it occurred in a Nottingham house of ill repute. _ It was developed that after transacting his day's business on the bench, Judge Williams repaired to a brothel and there dined with one of its notorious women. After dinner the Judge and his companion spent the night in an orgy, in the course of which he suddenly expired in the house. Tho Coroner made every attempt to hush'up the disclosures, and the friends of the family vainly attempted to bribe the inmates of the brothel and reporters' to conceal the scandal, but it has been made public pro perty.

HORSE THIEVES LYNCHED BY COW BOYS.

Salt Lake, July 20.—News comes from Judith City, Northern Montana, that five horse thieves were captured and hanged in the vicinity of Rocky Point a few days ago. The Hanging was done by a regularly organised gang of cowboys, who set out to round up the thieves that infest that sec tion. They secured thirty-two stolen horses from the quintet of outlaws, and then mr.de short work of them, hanging the lot to the nearest tree. In the region between the Lower Judith and Musselshell, within the last three weeks, thirteen horse thieves have been lynched, and it is probable the end is not yet. The campaign was opened by the killing of two thieves on the Mussel shell, followed by the despatch of two half breeds at- Clagett, Then one was hanged on Armell Creek and another near Fort Maginnis. Two more wire lynched at Lewiaton on the Fourth, and the big haul at Kocky Point ia the latest, making in all thirteen.

THE SCULLING CHAMPION SHIP.

Hanlan's Defeat by Beacb,

(BY TELECIUrr.

—OWN CORRESPON'DEST),

DcvEmx, this day. Tar. following account of tho late sculling B-.atoh on the Parramtla, wired by the

Star's own correspondent at Dnnclin, is extracted from late papers arri-. ; there

to-day :—

Beach won the choice nnd chose the southern bank, giving him smooth water It was blowing hard, and this made it dim-' cult to get the boats together. After one false start Hanlan srot away with a lead and a great rush, pulling 38 stroke? while Beach was pulling only 30, to the minute. Between the starting time and the turn at River's Point, Hanlan continued the same pace with half a length lead which he maintained on crossing the bay between Shaw's and Rocky Point He then slowed down to 3fi the Canadian keenly watching Bench's move ments. The race thus continued for half a mile, both rowing hard. Beach who was rowing with great steadiness and determination, drew up nearly level with Hanlan, who was djing fast work, and apparently very strong. From Rocky Point towards Black's Land, the water became very rough, giving both men a very severe trial. The steamer Tomoki which was anchored half-a-milo down the river from the start, ran close up, and came so near to Hanlan that he thought he would be run down. The steamed star board bow came within a few yards of the Canadian's boat, but the danger of collision was averted. It was now getting near'the end of the hrst mile, when the pace ou^ht to tell on Beach, if at all. The rou«h water was severely trying to both, Hanlan being splashed by the spray until the water showed patches on his "jer=ev almost up to his neck. Beach had a troubled and anxious look from fear of einkinc but handled his sculls splendidly, balancing his i"fi °e stylo, and rowing very strong. With Hanlan the necessity for handling delicately was not so pressing. WatchinS his opportunity, he made a supreme effort to row down his opponent, and, with a fine spurt, drew right away from Beach with a clear lead of two lengths. The men were no.v rowing 32 strokes. Tho gap between them got very distircb, and Han lar. I looked as if pulling right away from his man Beach kept on steadily without makino- any effort to overhaul, but rowing well within himself, although his supporters feared he was holding back and unable to tako the challenge. It seemed as if the race was all over, but Beach came creeping on with great determination, rowing strong acd easily. Then Hanlan seemed to set his teeth; hia lips were drawn tight with the tension on every muscle of his body. Nearing Putney, Hanlan'a stroke was reduced to 32, while Beach was rowing 30. Off Putney Point, Beach pulled himself level with Hanlan, and for •200 yards racod in that position ; but Han lan was rowing in such style that everybody thought he must win. Tho greatest excite ment was then seen, Beach gradually forging ahead and making way with every stroke. .Suddenly Hanlan's stroko slackened, his boat lost way, and Beach came up. Hanlan ehowed£siens of exhaustion, handled his boat weakly, and dropped back. In an in stant Beach's right crossed Hanlan's left and they stopped rowing. The sculls were quickly released, while words passed be tween them regarding the "foul." Beach seemed annoyed and impatient at havino been stopped. He struck his sculls into the water and pulled away. Hanlan held up his hand, and thon rowed a few strokes without any weight, as if undecided what to do. _ His appearance and his manner was thai of n man very much fagged. Mean while Beach had obtained a length's lead. Haulnn resumed rowing, but the impression w.is general that he was completely'beiton <ireat cheering rent the air, though the spectators scarcely believed the fact that the great sculler had been rowed down. The men were now entering the last quarter of the second mile. In passing close to Cabarita Point, Beach's stroke became easier and the distance was reduced to three-and a-half lengths. Hanlan made some show of fighting, and as there was another mile, to go, hi 3 friends thought he would yet challenge Beach, who still maintained three lengths ahead. Hanlan now made a des perate spurt, but Beach, cool and strone as ever, answered him and increased "his lead by another length. Though the men appeared to be rowing easily, they were really doing fast work. Opposite one Man's Wharf, \ v hich[\vould be about half-past mile time, over three minute?, Hanlan was rowing loosely, but Beach was going steadily. lialf-a-mile below the wharf it was seen that the result of the. race was no longer in doubt. The cheering was taken up by the excited spectators, and continued till the pistol was iirel. When nearing Brothers' Point Beach was a clear five lengths ahead. Hanlan then stopped for a few strokes, but Beach rowed on, with every stroke tellinn- He neared and passed the Beacon a clear six lengths ahead, finishing in o-ood style and not at all distressed. As Hanlan came up, iieaeh made a friendly sign with his hand, to which Harilan replied. The judos disallowed the " foul," saying it was Ha'ri. Lan s fault for rowing into Beach's water.

Praposed Amalgamation of Racing Clubs.

(by telegraph—owx correspondent.)

Cambridge, this dayi It has been proposed to the local Jockey Club that overtures should be made to the Auckland Club to take over the racing here, or to amalgamate with this club, the latter to be as it were a branch of that in Auck land. The members of one club should be members of both, the one ticket giving ad mission to both courses. The rea°on of the proposal is non-success on the part of the attendance at Cambridge meetings, owing to local Jealousy in \Vaikato. The financial success of the Cambridge Club is undoubted, but tho difficulty in the way is the fact that the subscription of Auckland Club is 5 guineas, whereas that of the Cambridge Club is only 2 guineas.

FOOTBALL MATCHES.

The following are the results of the various football matches played ou Saturday last:— North Shore v. G R .VFroN.-Thi s match was played on the} Devonport Recreation Ground. The game was very hotly con tested, and ended in a draw, no scoring being done. °

Cambridge v. Hajiilton.—This match was played at Cambridge The weather was very favourable, and there was a large attendance. After a very exciting contest, Cambridge won by 9 points to nil. Newton v. Gordon.—This match was played in the Domain, and resulted in a win for Newton by 4 points to nil. The tries were obtained by Messrs Osmond and. Sexton.

Parnell Second v. Rovers resulted in a draw, A doubtful goal from the field, kicked by F. Edmonds (Parnell), was dis allowed.

Auckland Second v. St. George's re sulted in a win for the latter hy 2 points to ml. Ihe try was obtained, by D Talbot Parseix v Arau-a. i vas very hotl con . tested, and ended in & draw, without scoring on either side,

Victoria y. Alexandra.—This match was played at North Shore, and proved very disorderly. "We have received two accounts, one of which says Victoria won by 11 points against 10, and another which states thit the match resulted in a win for Aloxandia by 10 points to six. This appears to be tl © result of several disputes.

Po.nsoxby v. Albert.—This match re sulted in an easy victory for the former by 2-2 points to 2 point.". For Ponsonby Mac kay obtained one try, Ceargo two, White side one, and Davy four, while Braimd and \Yhite.-ido each kicked goals. Gcodm.in got the try for Albert, and die place-kick was a failure.

True Blues v. Rosebkhry resulted fo a victory for the former by 9 points to nil. Barnes,. Goulstone, and Stevens secured tries, and Gouletone converted one into a goal.
