been taken by the former by 1 , 002 points to 987 . There have also been several good matches in Cricket , notably that between Eton and HarroAV , played at Lord ' s on Friday and Saturday , Avhen tho latter Avon by 20 runs , the scores being—Harrow , 119 and 224 ; Eton , 117 and 206 . The
Australians have beaten Leicestershire by eight Avickets , A . Bannerman making 133 in his second innings ; and the match between Middlesex and Notts was left draAvn , the latter having two wickets to fall and 19 runs to make to secure victory .
Sir Garnet Wolseley has been appointed Administrator of Cyprus by tho sty le of Lorcl Hig h Commissioner and Commander-in-chief . The island has already beeu taken possession of by our forces , under Vice-Admiral Lord William Hay , the transfer of sovereignty from the Turkish to the English authorities having been made satisfactorily .
The new Administrator reached Malta on Wednesday , ancl on Thursday the embarkation of troops for Cyprus commenced . The island will be garrisoned by the Indian contingent and three British regiments , in all 10 , 000 men . According to advices received on Thursday an unarmed

Thus , after the anxieties of the last year , thanks to the firmness of ministers , we escape war and have instead a peace with honour , as the Prime Minister put ifc , which will gratify the sovereign , and , ifc is hoped , be approved of by the nation .
We need not dwell on the changes sanctioned by the treaty . We think , however , that Lord Salisbury ' s despatch is a sufficient defence of the work our negotiators have accomplished , and shows satisfactorily that the Government has consistently followed the main principles laid down in
the noble Lord ' s despatch of 1 st April . Now that peace is secured , AVO ought to emerge from our state of depression , especially as a new field of enterprise for our people has been opened up in Cyprus and Asia Minor , to which our Protectorate extends . Let us hope this will be the case .
