THE CARDIFF SHOW I SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION I The ttventy-eigh-"i annual Cardiff Horee Show which opened to-day was fully up to the traditions of past events. In some ways it Was better. The picturesque side had been J mrnemely improved by great alterations in the ground plans. Last year the pageant stand was made to serve for accommooating the fashionable around the big ring, whereas on this occasion a fine and commodious structure stood right against the trees at the far end of the held, facing the entrance. The smaller rings were immediately at hand ufion entering the gates, and the majority of the early comers congregated around these. At the start, it was as bright a day as we have been fated to have in this year 1910. There was, however, every prospect of a fair day, if one might, go "by the dresees of the ladies. As a rule, the weaker sex are pre- pared for storm or sunshine, and to-day they were arrayed in the height of fine-weather fashion—surely a. good sign. I Past and Present I One ccnld not. help missing two notable ■personalities from the show—the late Mr. James Howell and the late Mr. Robert Forrest—but many of the valued faooo of the past, Colonel Henry Lewis (Greenraeadow), fr. D. T. Alexander, with his businesslike f30ns, Mr. E. W. M. Corbett, and General Tyler, were early in attendance. The entries—the all-important fea.ture-were not up to the record established many years asro, bait they were a score or more in excess of last year's successful venture, totalling about 600. A regrettable feature was the weakness in the hunter, harness, and brood mare classes, numerically speaking, but com- pensation was given in a general increase in the (-art. horse, polo ponies, and the ever- I popular jumping and trotting classce. Amongst the shoal of d;.stinguiahed visitors expected to be present were the Marquess of Bute, with L-ord and Lady Ninian <$tuart, and, of -course, Viscount Tredegar, who never misses a show. j Chief Winners I I ?- I Judging opened with the cisas for weight- carryh:¿ Velah cobs, under 15 hand?, and Mr. J. Tatem's sturdy bay, "The Bishop," j carried off first prize, "Eiiifus," a, strong chestnut, owned by .M;iffi Henegan, Chelten- ham, making a good second. Three-year-old cart mares and geldings above 15.3 were a rare good lot, and Messrs. W. a.nd H. Whitley (Paignton) supplied the winner in 16795 Moiling tan Movement," in front of Sir WaJpoIo Oreo;)well's "61759 Misty Morn." Hereford produced the winner in the cart brood mare class for three-year-olds and upwards, "4æ)1 Monnow Belle." a massive bay, owned by MT. John Ferneyhough, taking the chief award; "Brownskule Sally," the property of Mr. Philip ffiainbtdn. Pembroke, gottdng second Sir Walpole Greenwell took the yearling cart colt honours with "UmbeTalade Free- mason," clo&el ypressed by "CwrnaTt iPre-mier,' owned by Mr. T. Thomas, Carmarthen. The latter gentleman's horse won the first priae in the local olass for yearling cart colts or fillies. Mr. Tatem scored a double success later on in two open classes. "19416 Penylan Ada"tak- ing the pony brood mare class for animals not over 13.2, in foal, or with foal at foot, and "12928 Met Valley Princess" capturing the prize in the class for hackney brood mares not over 14.2, in foal or with foal. Mr. H. B. Brandt, Nuffield, Surrey, had the best of the open hackney brood mares, 14.2, four-year-old or upwards in foal or with foal, ) and a similar class for locals was taken by Mr. F. W. Jones, Trebanog Stud, Porth, with "Honour-able Maid," a handsome black. Mr. R. A. de Mancha, St. Alban's, Herts., had the best of the hackney foal (colt or filly) open class with "Very Polite Kate." Mr. David Evans, Ilenllan, Ctardig-an-shire, having' a worthy second in "Emlyn Beauty." The latter reversed the verdict in the hackney yearling colt section, his "Emlyn Model" I defeating Mr. de Mamcha's "Ver Performa." Mr. n. Ivemarehant's "King Cadet" came from Streatham. S.W., and won the haokney two-year-old colt class in front of "Royal Cadet," owned by Mr. David Rees, Penylan, Ca.:r>diff A Girl Astride I A feature of the saddled pony class, mare or gelding, was the appearance of Miss Doris Johnstone, aged eleven, riding astride on the chestnut pony" Dolly," owned by her father, Mr. Harry Johnstone, Newport. Ad times she led the field fearlessly in the gallop, and the spectators would have liked her to have had something better than the reserve which she was awarded. Just after noon a nasty drizzle set in, which, however, did not seem to be lasting.

FOOTBALL I Treharns Trial. I Great interest was evinced in the final trial match of the Treliarris Association OIub. The teants consisted of some old players and a number of new men. J. T. Jones (Wre)uhaml proved a success at centre forward. Percy Hill (Bath) was again in fine form, and is Likely to secure a place. W. H. Hancock (Wrexiham) was again faulty in his clearances. Wallace Jones and Pyke twide a nippy left wing. Hughie Williams figured at inside ri?ht. and gave Jackett all ??poT- tunity of sho'win? hM abilities as outside rigihit. Fudige, wlio made a good impression a week ago, played up to his reputation during the first half, but after the interval he showed signs of fatigue. Doubtless train- ing will remove this defect. Both Stenner cund Demmery acquitted themselves crediv ably. Aston Villa v Cardiff City I To be played to-morrow on Ninian Park, Cardiff. Aqton Villa will be selected from George Lay tori, logan, Kewink;, Ki mberlsy, Moss. Buckley, Hunter. Wallace Whitaker, Gerrieh. Bonneville, Baohe, Hall, Walters, and Hall. Cardiff City team: Husbands, M'Kenaie, Da.ffy, JyOwrie, Ramsay. M'Dougall, M'Donald, Aibley, Mullooh, Watt, and Evans.

RACECOURSE ROBBERY I At Wolverhampton on Tuesday Emmanuel James, 23, confidential clerk to Mr. Cress well, secretary to Deinstall Park Racecourse Oom- pany, was charged on remand with stealing E545 in gold from the offices of the com- pany.

The decision was received with loud cheers, and outside the court James met with am. enthusiastic reception.

MAN OF MANY PARTS When the public examina-tion -was -con- eluded yesterday in the London Bamdcruptey- court of Arthur lawronce, described a.,3 "an obesity specialist," the debtor gave a. some- what complex reason for his failure. He attributed hie insolvency to the falling away of his obesity practice during the last few yeare, partly through his omission to properly advertise llimøeli and paj-tly to devoting his attention to a hair business, which he had bought, and to intellectual pursuits and other causes. He returned his j liabilities at C720 and his assets at nil.

LADY SHOOTS HERSELF I NEW YORK. Wednesday. Inquiries conoerning a tragic affair which occurred on Monday night at the Astor Hotel here, when a well-dreesed young lady shot herself with a revolver so severely that she had to be removed to the hospital, have established the fact that the girl is Miss Vera Fitch, cousin of the late Clyde Fitoh, the dramatist. A statement issued from the hospital last night is to the effect that the lunge and intestines have been pierced, and tha,t the lady's recovery is extremely doubt- ful. It appears Miss Fitoh had attempted authorship, but without much suocees, and had been very depressed by failure to gain the ear of the public.—Oentral News.

LORD AND LADY DUDLEY I The London correspondent of the Free- man's Journal" chronicles the rumour that I/ord Dudley is anxioue to be relieved of the Gowrnor-Geoeralship of the Australian Commonwealth, and. further. that he wishee to take his plaoe in the political arena at home. Moreover, the health of Lady Dudley bas not benefited by the stay at the Antipodes. His successor, according to opinion in Scottish political oi roles, is likely to be Lord Portland.

I FREE LABOURER FINED j Joseph Ryan (46), whom.

I- RUBBERS AND OILS -«$»■ I TO-DAY'S MOVEMENTS IJONDON", Wednesday, 1.0 p.m. Rubbers and Oils continue to droop.

To-Day's Finance. LONDON, Wednesday, 1.0 p.m. Money in fair demand at 13 to 2 per oent., bills 3 per cell t. Attention is being chiefly directed to the conclusion of the settlement, and values are hardly so steady in the absence of support, but there is no inelinatioll to liquidate, and the movement. in values is mostly of a trivial character. Consols hold at 81 for Cash and 81l for the Accou nt. Great Westerns, Great Easterns, and Hull and Barnsleys are i up in the Home Railway 1 Section. Americans drooped in New York, on the poor earnings statement of the Harriman Roads, and there is no desire to buy stock this side. Trunk Juniors are dull. Central Argentines are a good feature. Foreigners st-eady. Mines quiet, but Rhodeeians are still hardening.

I Labour Grievance -I e 1 CARDIFF BOILERMAKERS AT SWANSEA ¡ A well-attended meeting ofswarisea. boiler- makers was held at the Sailors' Rest, Swan- sea, on Tuesday morning, under the presi- dency of Alderman Dd. Williams, as the out- come of complaints that men were being employed by the Prince of Wales Dry Dock Company from Cardiff and elsewhere in preference to Swansea men. I The Chairman said it had been the prac- tice of this c-ompany for some time to import !arge numbers of men from other districts, to the exclusion of local men. That morning another job had been commenced, and the whole of it was being manned by men from other districts, whereas in the local brajich they had men who had been out of work for fifteen, sixteen, and eighteen week-. That was an intolerable state of things. The Prince of Wales Dry Dock Com- pany were the worst offenders, and to remedv the grievance the local branch were prepared to bring- down the executive from New;astle. Mr. Evans moved a resolution emphatically protesting against these importations, and calling upon all members to keep away from ihe Prince of Wales Dry Dock till the grievance was redressed. Yr, J. Bryan seconded, and the resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. I/amont said it was all bunkum to say that Cardiff men were better workers than the Swansea men. The Chairman said that time after time the branch had tried to impress their grievance peaeoably on the foreman at the dock in question, but without result, and now the whole machinery of the .society would be put into operation and it would be a fight to the fini.sh. Dock Manager's Statement From interviews obtained it would appear that the action of the men is rather of a preventive nature, and that they are appre- hensive of what might take plaoe. Mr. W. J. Bendall, manager of the dock, said there was 110 justification for the posi- tion taken up by the men. There was a steamer in the dock, the Bendere, and six boilermakers had been engaged so far, and five were members of the Swansea branch of the society. Other squads would be started as required, and Swansea men would have the same chance a'9 they had alwayts had. The foreman boilermaker at the Prince of Wales Dock denies that there is any imported labour. The job had not yet commenced. The process always was that he (the foreman) selected one man who picked his mates for a squad of three—one man pieking two others. He denied doing anything more, or discriminating between Cardiff and Swansea men.

CHANCELLOR'S RETURN M.T. Lloyd George, who is motoring on the OcMnt-merit. is expected back at 11, Downing- street OIl Sunday. The sa.me evening he will go to Scotland to relieve Mr. Asquith as Minister in Attendance on the King at Balmoral. I

CARDIFF MAN'S WILL Mr. Raffo Romeo, of 31, Bute-terrace, Car- diff, and formerly of 25, Bute-street, Cardiff, tobacconist, a, well-known character in Car- diff, and the reputed possessor of a hoard of several thousands, who, despite blindness, ¡ carried on a considerable businese as a tobacconist until shortly before his death on I the 25th of July, aged 77, left property of the gross value of £ 1,888, with net pereonalty £ 1,837. Probate of the wili has been granted to Antonio EadmiloviC, innkeeper, Bute- street, the 6ole executor. The testator left L5 each to Police-sergeant Dicks, Inspector I Robert Davies, Detective Gooding, and Police- constable John Reed, all of the Cardiff City Police; £ 15, in addition to sums due for pro- fessional services, to Dr. Cargill Martin, of Custom House-stroet, Cardiff; Lio to St. David's Roman Catholic Church, Charles- street, Cardiff; £ 100 to the executor to pro- vide for the funeral expenses, and expend balance in memorial to be erected over his tomb; £ 5 to Edward Miller, of Dinae Powis, he keeping testator's grave in order, and the residue of the property to Katherine, wife of Antonio Radmilovic

I THE KAISER AND KING GEORGE There has been some correspondence ,bet-ween the Kaiser and King George with reference to the visit of the German Grown Prince to India. The German Emperor wrote to the King expressing the hope that the Crown Prince, during h -6 visit to the Indian Empire, might be treated not so much as the heir-apparent, but as a yonng man anxious to see the world and derive benefit from his experiences- King George in bis reply, which i, csaid to have been niuis-nially cordial in tone. promised that the wishes of the Emperor would be studied aa far as pos- sible, but doubted whether it would be pos- sible to treat the Crown Prince a¡, a private traveller. -L-o-ndon Correspondent of the "Daily Despatch."

I HOBBLE SKIRT DOOMED The fetter-skirt is dyin: the fetter-ekirt is dead." So say-s one of the big Paris cos- tumiers, though the bobble" appears to be stronger than ever in the streets of Paris. It is true that the wearers are not members of sociey, and it is not the really big oos- tumiers who make theee garments, bui the lesser houses, whose exaggeration does duty for their lack of originality. These imitators out-Herod Herod, and make the prettiest woman a foolieh doll. At all events, so thinks the rue de la Pajx and the place Vendome, where all fashions a.re supposed bo be born.

I WAGES—5d. A DAY I It is suggested that the cause of some cases I of "sweating" among the linen outworkers of Belfast is due to the custom of sub- contracting. At the board of guardianis yes- terday a report stated that one woman said that she worked constantly for 3d. per day. Another worked nine hours per d-ay for 5s. a week. Others put their weekly earnings at le. 3d., 2s. id., 3. and 3s. 6d., but two women were returned. as earning 12s. Out- door relief granted these persons ranged from 36. to 7s. 6d.

PLAUSIBLE WOMAN A woman, who had refused her name a.nd address, amd who in the dock gave the name of Lilian Mary Taylor, aged 33, was charged at Tower Bridge yesterday with endeavour- ing to obtain charitable contributions under I a false pretence at the Clergy House, St. George's (Roman Catholic) Cathedral, West- minster Bridge-road. The Rev. Thomas J. Law ton said the prisoner came to the Clergy House and tokl him a long story as to her living with a husband whom 6he found to I have been formerly married. iShe said he was a brute, and was "shadowing'' her, and ¡ that she wanted to get away to Heme Bay. He made up his mind that she should not be compelled to go back to this man. and left the room to consult a time-table and to obtain the money for her fare to Herne Bay. I On the stairoaee he met a colleague, to whom he told the story, and from what was said to him he saw others of his colleagues, and called in the police. A woman had been tell- ing a similar story at various presbyteries in South London. Prisoner, who t>.aid that she made the statement originally at the confessional-box, and that she did not ask for money, was discharged with a caution.

WELSH COALFIELD Remarkable Speech by Mr. Geo. Barker DELIVERED AT A PRIVATE MEETING I I Mr. W. Brace, M.P., and the Pressman At the meeting of the Western Valleys jfinersi' Council at Abertillery on Tuesday Mr. G. Barker (miners' agent) spoke at length on the unrest in tha coalfield. He said, that the Conciliation. Board had been tried in the balance, and the scoop had always deflected to the employers' coffers, and the workers were conscious that they -ere being duped. In the shipping, railway, and mining industries the workers were on the verge of revolt, and not without cause. The South Wales miners had recently been refused by Lord St. Aldwyn the meagre advance of Z, per oent. The owners' figures proved that there had been an increase in prices of 10.42d. per ton, which on a weekly output of a million tons meant that £ 41,000 was going additionally to the idle share- holders, who were already reaping enormous profits. Even under the old agreement, the miners would be entitled to an advance of 7i per oe!t. on such a rise in prices, which on a weekly wage-sheet of £ 200,000 would have meant an additional £ 1J,030 a week for the South ales miners. Was there any wonder that there was unrest among the South Wales miners, an intelligent body of wealth-producers, who were being exploited in such an old Hebrew fashion? There would be more unrest soon. With reference to the proposed reform of the Federation, he would heartily recommend the sub-committee which had been appointed to consider the amend- ment of the constitution to have a joint audit taken as to the selling prices of ooal and the volume of trade and prolite. lie would also suggest that an auditor should be engaged for the purpose. If the audit was refused the executive council should call a general conference and advi&e the workmen to terminate their connection with the Con- ciliation Board. The owners and the workers were engaged jointly in the production of wealth, but while the owners knew what the workers received, ill" latter were in entire ignorance as to the profits of the owners. How could arbitration under such con- ditions give equitable results? All miners receiving lùb.3 taan the 3s. 4d. per day under the standard of 1879 with the per- centage should at once be authorised to for an advance to biing them up to that rate. and when such a rea&onabJt re^ue^t was refused the men should be authorised to tender a month's notice. That there were defects in the constitution of the Federation went without saying, but how was the execu- tive council of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain elected? How many members of the Federation had a direct vote in the election of the body which had the power to direct the policy of the Federation? They should certainly' be elected directly by 'he men who were governed by their policy. It Wfuî of' the utmost importance that they should end the present foolish method of making the wage agreements for England, Scotland, and South Wales at different times. The present system was !3plf-st1.lHifying. There should be a general wages committee, consisting of one representative from each district, to specially collect information and watch the wage interests of the workmen. Its duty should be to level up the wages of kLlf under-paid workmen. There should bé no delay in increasing the contribu- tione to the Federation, but not, in his opinion to create an out-of-work fund. ihere were probably alvaya 5 per cent. of oolliery employes idle, which would mean m South Wai? that about tS,DW of the t<??I contributions would go every week in tha.t direction, a.nd thus at the end of five yeare the workmen would be in the same position as they were now, only having. the satisfac- tion of knowing that they had relieved the remainder of the community of their respon- sibility for the relief of the unemployed workecne o £ the coalfield. Lnstead of the increased contribution going for a.n. out-of- wouk fund it should be utilised to create an efficient and powerful defence and fighting fund. The starvation strike-pay of 10s. per v.eek should be increa^'d io lus. per week, and a vigorous and militant policy should be adopted toO increase t,he wages of the lower- pa-id men, including those working in subnormal places. It was on such lines that reforms should take place. The miner's should also form an aJliance with the rail waymen and Seamen's Union. The old method of a Union for each trade wa? obsolete, and not in harmony with modern conditions. The capita-lists were combined in huge trusts, and the workers should follow suit and have one inteivist—the securing for labour its full share of its product. Mr. W. Brace, M.P., who, as advisory agent, was present at the meeting, it is understood delivered a strong reply to Mr. Barker's speech, but when spoken to later by our representative he eaid tha.t he could not give a summary of his speech, as he under- stood that the meeting was private and com- fined to the council

COLLIERS UNDER NOTICE The whole of the workmen employed at the Ely Fit, Naval Collieries, Penygraig, numbering 1,100, who received notice to ter- minate contracts on the 1st of the month, will stop work to-day. Efforts have been made to a-ert a stop.page. but so far without success. The ohief cause of the dispute is the failure to settle the price-list on what is known as the Bute Seam. The disagreement has existed for about eighteen months, and was reported to the Conciliation Board, who appoirted Mr. T Griffiths (Cymmer) and Alderman Enooh Morreil to try to effect a settlement. Nothing tangible resulted, but since the failure of the arbitrators Mr. Llewellyn has co-nooded a great deal on the price to be paid for the clod. There is no feeling of bitterness shown by either side, as the workmen admit that the management must stop the pit to carry out some necessary repairs, and MT. Llewellyn lias offered to find work for as many as possible in the other two pits. Tredegar Men and Their Hours At a meeting 01 ireaege-r colliery workmen on Tueeday it was decided to request the management to fix tbe working hours aa followsThe first four days in the week, seven a.m. to three p.m.; Fridays, seven to four; and Saturdays, seven to two. The present hoars are six a.m. to two p.m. every clay

DODGING "SHOW CARDS" I At the Federation offices, Ba-rgoed, a special district meeting of the Rhymney Valley miners was held on Tuesday, Mr. W. J. Kevern presiding. The following official report was supplied to the prew: The a?ent i-epoa-ted that in the majority of the collieries in the district there were practically no non-Unionists, as the result of the last show cards.' But it was felt that a few delinquents had escaped the scrutiny of the card examiners by being absent from work the chief part of the last fortnight It was resolved that tlie with- drawal of the notices be left to t.he discretion of the various collieries in order to meet with the exception.al conditions prevailing through th-o absence of non-Unionists from work But in any cake, show cards' will be conducted regularly during the next month."

CHARGE WITHDRAWN I Henry William Richardson, a valuer, was charged at the Thames Police-court one day with obtaining E5 17s. from Simon Hart, with intent to cheat and defraud. Counsel who appeared to prosecute said that he had been instructed to withdraw the charge, on the ground that the money had been paid. The Magistrate: Yes, that is just it. The criminal laW has been put in operation simply to get the money paid. I shall remand the prisoner, and send the papers to the Public prosecutor. Counsel: I hope you won't do that. The Magistrate: I certainly shall. People are constantly trying on this sort of thing. The prisoner was remanded for a week.

POISONOUS HERB SUSPECTED I In of the death of four cattle on Ely Racecourse Mr Hedger Wallace, the agricultural lecturer to the Glamorgan County Council, in company with Mr. A. C. Stewart, votcrinary surgeon, Cardiff, visited the racecourse on Tuesday, and took various samples of the pasture for submission to the director of Kew Gardens and the Board of Agriculture for exa.miuat.ion. It is believed that pIe dRA animals njust have eaten a poisonous herb of some description.

BOY'S AWFUL DEATH ♦ FALLS DOWN AN OLD PIT I A sad accident is reported from Penyrheol, a colliery village near Caerphilly. Last evening Charles Connelly, the four- year-old son of John Connelly, Senghenydd- terrace, Penyrheol. went out to pick flowers, accompanied by a playmate, named Cater. They proceeded to Furnace Farm, and wan- dered towards an old disused pit, the shaft of which is surrounded by a wall. Conn-elly got through a hole in the wall, and. -mining his foothold, fell down the shaft, which is 150 yards deep, and contains a large Quantity of water. Efforts were made throughout the night, and again to-day, to recover the body, but without success.

Crippen in Infirmary NERVOUS REACTION AFTER STRAIN Mr. Arthur Newton, solicitor to Dr. Orippen, on Tuesday received intimation from the Brixton Prison authorities that his client had been removed to the prison infirmary owinj; to his being unwell. Mr. Newton stated on Tuesday night that thi" did not mean tha.t Crippen was in any way seriously ill, but that the prison doctors considered t-ho condition of his health called for special attention and dietary, which he would not. be able to receive under ordinary conditions. It is understood that Crippen's illness is not of a serious nature. It is believed to be due to nervous reaction after the strain he has undergone. Mr. Newton prcposes to pay him a visit on Thursday. Crippen Explains Crippen has given an explanation of the card with the farewell message which was found upon him, and of tho statements he made to Chief-inspector Dew. I cannot discuss the matter at this stage," Mr. Newton said to a press represen- tative; but I think the explanation is a good one." The Treasury counsel will be prepared when the hearing is i-esumed next Tuesday to (?o fully into the charges which were out, lined on Monday. Although no decision lias yet been arrived at, it is probable that the charge of murder acainst Miss Le N-evû will not be further proceeded with. It is expected that ..he magisterial proceed- ings will be completed in seven or eight sit- tings. Between twenty and thirty witnesses are likely to be called for the prosecution. The procedure ha.s not yet been settled, but there is no intention, it is now stated, of taking the hearing day by day. There will rot be more than two sitting's a week, and probably only one. » N

Another Aerial Triumph AN AMBITIOUS AVIATION SCHEME I Considerable interest has been aroused in aerial circles oy the news which has just been made public that the Ligue Aerienne of France has been in negotiation with the municipalities of Boulogne and Folkestone I with a view to the foundation of prizes for the inauguration of a-erial transport between France and England. It is proposed to award the sum of £ 2rOOO to the first airman who shall complete the journey between Boulogne and Folkestone and back again four times within one week and carrying one or two passengers. In an interview with a press representative on Tuesday %tr. Stephen Marples, engineer to the Aerial League of the British Empire, said that the marvellous achievements of the past few months made it probable that, before a. year was out, the feat would be accomplished and the prize won. Mr. Marples was present at the Boulog-ne meeting, at which it was suggested that, in order to make the condi- tions more difficult, a competing aeroplane should be required to be so constructed that it could descend upon the surface of the water and rise again at will. Air. Marples hinted that a machine fulftlling these condi- tions was already in existence, but details were at present lacking. The advent of such a. machine," he added. would mark a great advance, and there is no doubt that, in time, competitions will be organised in which aeroplanes will be required to dnd upon water and ascend Gffain, just as they now have to do upon the land Paris to London Flight I A fortnight has elapsed since Mr. John B. Moisant started to fly from Paris to London, and he is still stranded at Kemsing, the soene of the two most recent mishaps which befell his monoplane. On Tuesday he was busily engaged repair- ing the damage whioh the Bleriot sustained on Sundav, and in an interview replied in I the negative to a humorous question as to whether he intended to settle down in Kent. He also repudiated the suggestion that he should complete his journey to London by the South Eastern Baiiway, declaring that he intended to fly there despite all obstacles. lie.. however, intends to wait until th-s weather is calm enough for safe flight before making another attempt, saying he has had enough of flying in a gale. I Irish Flying Meeting I A strong wind considerably interfered with I the seoend day's programme of the aviation meeting at Leopardstown on Tuesday, and no fligilts were possible until shortly after four o'clock, when, the conditions baring im- proved. Grace came out and accomplished a performance whioh thrilled the spectators. lIe gained an altitude of between 300ft. and 400ft., but the wind bad a velocity of 25 miles an hour, the air currents were mQ6t uncer- ta?n, aM the a.viat«rs monoplane dipped and swayed considerably. Grace endea- voured to make a t-tirn within the aerodrome, I but, swept on by sudden wind-bursts, he flew OIL a mile or so towards the hills, where the atmosphere was calmer. He accom- plished a fine turn, and returned to the aero- drome amid loud cheers. There he again encountered fierce rushes of wind, and to Lhe spectators the machine seemed to be stropping and swaying in an alarming maimer. Grace, however, main ta-ined splendid nerve, and he finally alighted in a skilful manner, making the descent outside the I course in order to avoid some trees. He was enthusiastically cheered by the spectators.

Whilst Making Speech I I DEVON ALDERMAN'S SUDDEN END I A Tiverton (Devon) correspondent says that Alderman John Harwood, the oldest mem- ber of the Tiverton Town Council, died ( suddenly on Tuesday evening, whilst speak. ] ins at a meeting of the Tiverton Agricultural Association, of which he was secretary. He had just explained certain procedure at i the recent show when he was seen to be falling. Dr. Mackenzie, who sat next to him, intercepted the fall, and Mr. Harwood was lifted on to a table, upon which he died in ?j leas tha.n ten minutes. The meeting a-b-ruptly ended. Alderman Harwood was also secretary of the Minorca Club of Great Britain, a well- known poultry judge, and a prominent man in Devon. He was 63 years of age.
