Our Weekly Budget.

The chief event on Tuesday was the Steward ' s Cup , for which 22 appeared at the post . Trappist won by two lengths of Coomassie , in rear of whom by three lengths was Berryfield , the favourite , Killiecrankie , being among those who pulled up before reaching the post . On Wednesday ,

the Goodwood stakes was won by Freeman , ridden by Fordham , Bertram coming in second , a length behind , and Escort only half a length to the bad third . Thirteen started , and the race—two miles and a half—was run in 5 mins . 1 sec . Thursday was the cup day , the winner of the

leading event being Lord Ailesbury ' s Aventuriere , Scamp coming in second , and Trent third . In cricket there has been one first class match , Gloucestershire v . Yorkshire , played at Brammall ground , Sheffield , on Monday and the two following clays , for the benefit of the veteran , J . Thewlis .

The latter county won by seven wickets , chiefly owing to the brilliant batting of Greenwood , who made 52 and not out 24 , Lockwood who made 74 and not out 39 . Mr . W . G . Grace again made one of his brilliant three figure innings , 111 , and at his second attempt he put together 43 ,

but the rest of his team , with the exception of Messrs . Matthews ( 11 and 23 ) , Monckland ( 14 and 17 ) and Bush give him but little support . The scores were Gloucestershire 194 and 107 , Yorkshire 211 and 93 , with three wickets down . Alter a hard fight Lancashire has beaten Kent ;

the former compiling 164 and 118 , the latter 145 and 105 . Barlow ( 31 and 45 ) for Lancashire , and Mr . C . A . bsolom ( 63 and 17 ) and Lord Harris ( 7 and not out 49 ) for Kent , were the principal scorers . In the Rugby v . Marlborough match , the latter were all out for 23 , while Rugby amassed

156 in its first innings . In the second attempt the Marlborough fared somewhat better , and when stumps were drawn on Wednesday , had put together 83 for the loss of five wickets , G . P . Wilson being not out 32 . On Thursday , play was resumed , Marlborough again appearing at the

wickets , but they only succeeded in carrying their score to 98 , and thus Rugby won in one innings by 35 runs . Next week is the great cricket festival at Canterbury , lasting all the week through . The three matches will be Gloucestershire and Kent v . All England , M .. C . C . and Ground v . Kent

and gentlemen of Kent v . I Zingari . Of other sporting events we may note the Grand International Polo and Pigeon Shooting Match at Brighton , to-day , and Monday , the Royal Yacht Squadron Regatta , at Cowes , which Avill be held from Tuesday to Friday next , both days

inclusive , and shortly the South Coast Regattas will be in full swing , and we hope will meet with the usual support from the holiday folks , whom , doubtless , the fine weather will take in their thousands to the various watering places along the South Coast .

Ihe hospitalities of the Mansion House are being dispensed with a liberality which is in the highest degree creditable , both to our respected brother , the Lord Mayor , and the great and ancient city , of which he is this year the chief magistrate . On Thursday , he gave

a grand International Municipal Banquet , there being present the French Ambassador , the Japanese Ambassador , the Italian Charge d'Affaires , M . Ferdinand Duval , Prefect of the Seine , with other French prefects and mayors , the Burgomasters of Brussels , Antwerp , and

Amsterdam , the Mayors of Turin , Florence , Quebec , Toronto , together with the Lord Mayors of Dublin and York , the Lord Provost of Edinburgh , and the municipal chiefs of all the most important towns in the United Kingdom . It is long , indeed , since so distinguished and so thoroughly civic

a gathering has been seen within tho walls of our Lord Mayor ' s residence . As a matter of course , the banquet passed off amid the greatest enthusiasm , and will doubtless prove a fitting inauguration to other international courtesies en tapis .

The Alexandra Palace Directors have at length—provided the present brilliant weather continue for a reasonable L-ngth of time—a chance of showing what their Palace and grounds are capable of affording in the way of

entertainments . Not that Ave have not had already many opportunities of testing their directorial powers , but great as have been the numbers which , on occasions such as Whit Monday for instance , have visited the Muswell Hill Grounds , a continuance of this weather will tax them

Btdl further . To-day with its International Fete will , we hope , bring thousands of visitors . The special programme for Monday , the Bank Holiday , may not improbably assemble a good century of thousands , while the agreeable Summer Evening Promenade Concerts are sure to prove as attractive in the future as they have been

thus far . One of tho chief features to-morrow and next week will be the presence and performances of the splendid band of the Garde Republicaine , which has been allowed to visit London by special permission of the President ,

Marshal MacMahon , and General Cissey . The Crystal Palace has held a goat show , but one of the grand attractions of the year will come off to-day , when Mr . Sims Reeves holds his Annual Benefit Concert .

We note in the musical world that Her Majesty ' s closed on Saturday , with the performance of " Lohengrin , " for the benefit of Mr . Mapleson , whose efforts to meet the wishes of his patrons are too well known to require comment . On

Wednesday Mdlle . Titiens , who is about to leave England for the United States , gave her first benefit concert at the Albert Hall , and achieved a most brilliant success , not only as regards the programme provided—at which many of the most eminient artistes assisted—but from the numerous

company which assembled to do honour to this popular singer . As regards foreign news , the most important relates to Spain and the Herzegovina . The Turks have not yet put down the insurrection in the latter , and there is no

knowing how soon in all Eastern difficulties , the slightest spark may kindle into a flame , and set all Europe in glowing heat . As regards the former country , it is evident the Carlists , as we fully imagined , are equal to a good deal

more beating yet , before their utter extinction can be announced by the Madrid Government . There has been a succession of Alphonsist victories , and what then ? Carlism still rears its head in proud defiance . Will the end " of this miserable war precede the Greek Calends or vice versa ?

The final meeting of the Board of Stewards of the 77 th Anniversary Festival of the Boys' School was held on the 22 nd inst ., at Freemasons' Hall , and was numerously

attended . Bro . I . M . S . Montague , D . P . G . M . Dorset , was unanimously voted to the chair . Bro . F . Binckes , Hon . Sec , read the minutes relating to the Anniversaiy Festival , when it was resolved—that the Board of Stewards of the

recent I estival desire to place on record the cordial approval of the alteration of the elate of holding the Festival . They also desire to bear their unqualified testimony to the excellence of the banquet supplied by Messrs . Bertram and Roberts , and to the admirable manner in which those

gentlemen gave effect to the wishes of the Board ; and , further , their approbation of the system , inaugurated on the late occasion , under which ladies and brethren dined together at the same tables ; no untoward event of any kind having occurred to interfere with , or militate against ,

the success of the assembly . The accounts rendered b y Bro . Webster were very satisfactory , there being 301 ladies and 381 brethren present , and there were 159 stewards . The amount realised was £ 12 . 704 ; and 39 stewards at present not having made their returns . A sum of ten

guineas was usually voted to be placed on the list of the Treasurer , but , having sufficient funds in hand , it was augmented to 25 guineas . A sum of ten guineas to Bro . Taylor , for services rendered by him on the occasion of the Festival . A sum of £ 60 bonus to Bro . Binckes was

proposed by Bro . S . Rosenthal , and seconded by Bro . H . M . Levy , and also a cordial vote of thanks for his indefatigable exertions in not only arranging this Festival , but also former ones , thus contributing to the success of the Institution . Bro . F . Binckes , in returning thanks for the vote , said it

was pleasing to him to receive so many expressions of satisfaction on the part of the Stewards . Bro . S . Rosenthal , in glowing terms , proposed a vote of thanks to Bro . Montagu , the acting President , who had so ably presided over them , and also for his great exertions in the cause of the charity .

Bro . Montagu returned thanks , and the last meeting of the Stewards ' of the Festival of 1875 was dissolved . There were present Bros . R . B . Webster Treasurer , S . Rosenthal , G . W . Verry , W . Lane , F . Adlard , W . C . Parsons , J . Bingeman , A . Barfield , J . Healoy , J . Wright .

The General Committee of the Royal Masonic Instititution for Girls , met on Thursday , the 29 th , at Freemasons ' Hall , Great Queen-street , Bro . Benjamin Head in the

chair . Bro . Robert Wentworth Little , the Secretary , read the minutes of the last General Committee . The Quarterl y General Court was read and adopted , also the report of the Audit Committee was read , showing a balance of
