The-Fiftieth Anniversary Festival of the Royal Free Hospital , Gray's Inn Road , a wing of which was erected by the Craft as a memorial to our late Grand Master H . R . H . the Duke of Sussex , was held on Wednesday evening , at the Freemasons' Tavern , when some two
hundred ladies and gentlemen sat down to dinner , under the presidency of Lord Chief Justice Sir A . Cockburn . In proposing the toust of prosperity to this admirable institution , the Lord Chief Justice mentioned incidentally that while its permanent income was only £ 1 , 300 a year ,
its expenditure was not less than £ 7 , 500 . Owing , however , to the generous snpport of the public , it was kept free from debt . Ho also announced that a new wing , large enough to accommodate fifty additional patients , would shortly be opened . The same evening the annual dinner of
University College Hospital was held at Willis ' s Rooms , St . James ' s , uuder the presidency of Sir Henry Thompson , who announced that Sir F . Goldsmith had offered to contribute £ 10 , 000 towards the enlargement of the hospital , if other of the friends of the institution would raise
amongst them a further sum of £ 20 , 000 . Lady Goldsmith also promised £ 1 , 000 from a fund at her disposal . The subscrip tions amounted to about £ 1 , 400 . The cricket season has begun in right earnest , and there have been several first-class matches played already . In
one of them , between the M . C . C . and Ground and England , the club was victorious by 24 runs , but the match , is chiefly noticeable for the small scores made in the second innings . The winning team could only achieve a total of 36 , of which 33 were off the bat , not a single member getting
into double figures . England , with but 51 to win , was only able to score 26 , ten of which were made by Mr W . R . Gilbert . The bowlers , in fact , had it all their own way , owing to the weather . We have also entered on the yachting season , and some half dozen matches have been
sailed . Athletic meetings are taking place frequently , and the principal racing fixtures of the year are close afc hand . Thus the public is well provided in the way of sport .
We must not forg-et to mention further that the Coach ins Season , though formally inaugurated on May-day , was practically opened on Wednesday , when the first meet of the Coaching- Club was held at tho
Alna-a-zine , Hyde-park . Twenty-eight drags , of which the Duke of Beaufort is President , drew up at the rendezvous ab UOOD , the President ' s being driven by Lord Arthur Somerset , beside whom sat the Prince of Wales . The Duke of Teck occupied the box seat on Cap-

tain Whitmoro ' s coach , but in all other cases a lady sat beside the driver . The scene was a very animated one , and there was a great crush of carriages , horsemen , aud footmen to witness the gathering . At 12 . 30 the Club started for a drive to Richmond , to the Orleans Club , where a lunch awaited them , after which the drags returned to town .
In spite of the unfavourable weather , the first Summeit Exhibition of Flowers and Plants at the Royal Botanic Society ' s Gardens , Regent's Park , was attended by some 2 , 500 visitors . There seems , indeed , to be quite a fatality attending theso shows , which are not unfrequently held on
what turn out to be rainy days . It was so , we remember , in the old days of the Chiswick Horticultural Fetes . Howover , the attendance on Wednesday , in Regent's Park , was respectable in point of numbers even beyond expectation , among the elite of the visitors being H . R . H . the Duchess
of Teck , the Duchess of Bedford , the Marchioness of Exeter , the Marquis and Marchioness of Bristol , Lord Londesborough , and Lord Chesham . The band of the 2 nd Life Guards was present . The day previous , the Royal Horticultural Society held ifc seventh Flower Show this
season in its grounds at South Kensingtou . The attendance was not very numerous . Among the prize winners , were Messrs . Cutbush and Son of Highgate , Mr . C . Turner of Slough , Messrs . J . Yeitch and Sons of Chelsea , and Messrs . Paul and Son of Walfcham Cross .
The War news from the Danube and Asia is in many respects conflicting , but some events of importance have occurred in the latter country . A squadron of Turkish ironclads has bombarded Sonkoum Kaleh , on the coast of the Black Sea , after which a force of Circassians was
landed , and established themselves in the place , in spite of the efforts of the Russians . This success is likely to have a very important effect . The Turks are determined to excite , if possible , a rising of the Circassians , and this will , no doubt , seriously interfere with the progress of the Russian
armies under the Grand Duke Michael . Another and more considerable engagement has taken place at Batoum . The Russian were the assailants , and are said to have carried some heights , but further attempts to advance on the town were defeated , and the Russian loss is reported to have
reached , if itdid not exceed , 4000 meninkilled and wounded . In spite of all rumours to the contrary , the news received now and again from the neighbourhood of Kars and Erzoronm proves that the progress of the Russians in that direction is not as rapid or effectual as at first was reported .
On the whole the balance thus far in Asia has inclined to the side of the Turks , who have shown themselves far more energetic than usual , and also far stronger . On the other hand , the fighting on the Danube has been inconsiderable , and has been confined chiefly to the bombardment by the
Turks of Kalafat , the garrison of which , consisting of Roumanians , has been returning the compliment by firing on Widdin . The Roumanians acknowledge to have sustained a considerable loss in wounded , but nothing is said of those who have been killed . The most serious
event has been the destruction of a Turkish monitor , which engaged the Russian batteries near Matchin , and was blown up by a shell . All on board are believed to have perished . An interchange of courtesies has taken place between the Grand Duke Nicholas and Prince Charles of
Roumania , in the first instance at Ploeshti , whither the Prince went to visit him , and again at Bucharest , which , in accordance with the Russo-Roumanian Convention , the Grand Duke entered without any escort , but attended by one or two of his suite . Another rumour
is worth noticing , to tho effect that the Russians have crossed the Danube into the Dobrudscha . This may be the case , but there is no doubt tho Russians are slowly but surely concentrating their forces , and that the passage will be attempted shortly .
A ministerial crisis has occurred at Paris , and M . Jules Simon has been dismissed from office by the President . Ifc is impossible to say who will be the new minister , but the event , as indicating that Marshal MacMahon has broken with tho Republican party , has caused an intense amount of excitement .
