The Events Of The Week.
determined that Civic hospitality shall in no degree suffer in public estimation during their occupancy of the Mansion House , entertained the various members of the London School Board at dinner on Saturday evening , there being present , among others , the Earl of Roseberry , Lords Napier
andEttrick , Sir J . and Lady Hill , Sir Charles Reed ( Chairman of the Board ) and Lady Reed , Mr . E . H . Currie ( Vice-Chairman ) , Sir John and Lady Bennett . The usual toasts were given , and then the toast of the evening , which
was appropriately acknowledged by Sir Charles Reed , who , having first thanked the Lord Mayor for his courteous hospitality , sketched the duties which the Board had to perform , and expressed a hope that they should not be found wanting in the performance of those duties . The chief event in athletic circles has been the four mile
race on Monday at Lillie Bridge , between Slade , the onemile champion , and Gibb , the four-mile champion . The former has won the mile championship three years running , and also the four-mile championship , in fact from half-amile upwards he is one of the best amateurs we have had .
The match calls for no special comment . Gibb kept the lead till the very last lap , when Slade spurted , and came in winner by 30 yards . The times were as follow : halfmile 2 m . 15 sec . ; 1 mile 4 m . 48 sec . ; 2 miles 10 m . 3 sec . ; 3 miles 15 m . 21 sec . ; and 4 miles 20 m . 22 sec . ; which is said to be the best amateur time on record . The event
of the sporting world has been the winning of the 1 wo Thousand Guineas by Camballo . There were thirteen started , the three places being Camballo first ; Picnic second ; and Breechloader third . The operatic season , both at Her Majesty ' s , Drury Lane ,
and the Royal Italian Opera still flourishes . Among the performances at the former may be mentioned that of Rossini ' s Barbiere di Siviglia , in which Mdlle . Belocca appears to have made a fairly successful debut as Rosina , and Lucrezia Borgia with Mdlle . Titiens in the role of
Lucrezia . At the latter have been given on Friday last , " by desire , " Auber ' s Era Diavolo , the Prince of Wales being present during the whole of the performance , and on Monday Rossini ' s Gxiglielmo Tell . On Saturday the first Floral Hall Concert of the season was given , most of the
artistes from the Royal Italian Opera " assisting . " The first of a series of five afternoon Concerts , to be given on alternate Saturdays , by Dr . Wylde , passed off very successfully on Saturday last . The next will be held on the 8 th instant at St . James ' s Hall .
The chief items of foreign news relate to matters ecclesiastical . The old struggle for supremacy between Church and State still rages in Germany , and the new English Cardinal Manning signalises his promotion to a Cardinal ' s hat by cordial denunciations of those who uphold the claims
of the State . The most interesting event in Paris is tho party disturbance on Saturday , at the Chatelet Theatre , over the new drama , Cromwell . " Ces Miserables Royalistes " and other Republicans gave full expression to their sympathies by indulging in a free fight , to put down which the
assistance of the police was found necessary . The play was then allowed to end in peace , but in consequence of this emeute the authorities have prohibited the performance of the drama . As usual , rumours of the most opposite character are flying about respecting the important question , War
or Peace ? These necessarily cause a large amount of disquiet , but there seems no reason to believe that the peace of Europe is likely to be disturbed at present . Naturally the political quidnuncs must keep up their reputation for a familiar acquaintance with all the ins and outs of politics , and
hence these shaves innumerable , and as contradictory as they aro numerous . Tho Imperial Crown Prince and Princess of Germany have paid a visit incog to Italy , Avhile in Spain there is the same old story—more fighting without satisfactory results . From India we hear the Guicowar
of Baroda has been deposed , by order of the Viceroy , on the ground of his notorious misconduct and misgovernment , and his known incapacity to carry out the necessary reforms . The native administration will , however , bo reestablished , and the Guicowar will bo permitted to select his residence and have suitable allowances .
Distinguished brethren who were present at the Installation are requested to be kind enough to send a copy of their portrait or carte de visite to Bro . E . J . Harty , 9 Barnard ' s Inn , E . C , for the purpose of being embodied in the grand historical line engraving about to be published , for
The Events Of The Week.

swimming bath , cricket ground , & c . & c . There is every reason to anticipate a prosperous season .
