NEXT YEAR-18 CRICKET FIXTURES. Naught but congratulations can be extended to the energetic executive of the Caerleon gathering, for. although they have shown ex- cellent and good sport in the past, the meet- ing commenced on Bhnrsday has seen them eel pM themselves in this respect. They have been fortunate for one thing in being assisted in every possible way by Sir A. Mack worth, Bart., who, since leaving Aldershot, has taken up his residence in the neighbourhood. The encouragement extended to them by the owner of the estate has caused the executive to re- double their efforts in the way of improvement to the estate and paying particular attent on to the course and making a number of impor- tant structural alterations, including a lengthening of the straight, so that patrons of the meeting have been catered for in every possible way. The attendance was a large one, and racing proved most interesting. Backers had the worst of it in the opening event, but had a good win over Border Boaster, who always had won the race when Palmleaf fell. Dearslayer, who won at Soxiths de on Monday, wa3 backed like the good thing of the afternoon, and such, Indeed, it proved. The stable failed to follow up their success, in the Eupsrra Hurdle, however, for Boniire did not øeeru to like the going, and the despised Evers- leigh, who had no chance on the Birmingham running, won. An objection was laid, on the ground that Everslegh had run at a yeomanry, meeting out of rn!e;; but the objection was over-ruled, although the stewards allowed Mr II Sidney to appeal. Old Befis and Blue Smoke provided an interesting finish for the New- port Hurdle. The extra stone, however, told on Mr. Allen's candidate, who was be-aten after a good race by three length*. Disturbance finished up well for backers, although had not Hide-and-Seek and St Patrick met with acci- dents the finish might have been more inte- resting. The atatement that the Yorkshire county cricket team were to visit Glamorgan next season has been denied, though not authori- tatively, by "Old Ebor." In doing so that well-known writer said that it was more than jrobable that, instead of adding to the already iver-burdened fixtnre list, Lord Hawke would like to cat a few of the unimportant matches off the list. It is common knowledge that Glamorgan has improved—wonderfully im- proved—during the past couple of years, and, having won the championship of the minor ccunt.ies last season by cons'stent and. I might add, first-class form, it would be nothing more or lesos than a graceful tribute to Mr. J. H. Brain's efforts and a lasting and sportsman- like service to South Wales cricket if that ideal cricket captain (Lord Hawke) or other eciually well-known cricketers arranged fixtures with our county. Lenrion Welsh, who play Stroud at Prom: Hall Park on Saturday, should win easily, ni the Gothamites' record is by no mean3 a bril- liant one. They have played fix matchs3, of which four were won and two lost-point,& for 82, against 77. Of the score against them no fewer than 67 points were obtained by Glou- cester. and Stroud's most creditable perfor- mance was a two goals' victory obtained at the expense of Cheltenham. The Cardiff and District Cricket League are holding a smoker on Saturday night, when the Express Challenge Cup medals and bats will be presented. The winners of the cup this year are Wood-3treet. Not quite so much inte- rest is being taken as of old, I fear, in the coin- petition. I trust, however, the smoking con- cert will be well attended to-morrow night. Mill Hill School have in the past registered some exceptional scores, and on Wednesday, when visited by the Royal Naval School, sent the latter home beaten to the tune of ten goals and nine tries (77 points) to nil. This reminds one of the wonderful score put on in Pearson's year, when the ex-international right winger placed a record number of goals. Another schoof of which I bear excellent accounts is the Bedford Grammar School, who scored 34 points last Saturday against Haileybnryv When Cambridge susta'ned their first reverse on Monday it was said that they had had as much of the game as their conquerors, Monks- town. The Irish club bad in turn a somewha t similar experience when they visited Oxford. as the dark blues, though successful by two placed goals to a try, had very little the better of the game. Their superiority behind the scrum. however, could not be denied, and Crabbie. Terry, Crawfurd. and Luce form a fine quartette, whilst, bar accdent, there should be no need to look beyond Kershaw and Walton for the pair of half-backs. Swans- ton is back in the Oxford pack, but the rival skipper, Greenlees, is still absent from the light blue ranks. I note, however, says "Wan- derer" in the "Sportsman." that lie. was able to officiate in a trial match held for the pur- pose of remedying any weak spcts in the Can- tabs' combination.

EVENING EXPRESS" NEW SERIES. Jim and Jerry, (COMPLETE.) CHAPTER I. Their names were Jim and Jerry Chetwynd, and they were twins. That, of course, accounted for the fact that the resemblance between the two was so marked that, to use a popular saying, which in their caM you may take literally, their own father didn't known one from the other. This was bad enough in their childhood,' and rather worse when they became Harrovians, but in every deep there is a lower depth, so that, when Jim and Jerry entered Sandhurst, and finally were both gazetted to the same regiment, the complica- tions which ensued were really appalling. Of course, there were times when Jim found his resemblance to Jerry was of great ser- vice, and vice- versa, but at other times-! well, it was terrible.' and the worst of it was that no one ever could know one without immediately mistaking him for his brother. "I don't see it's fair," said Jim savagely; 'pon my soul, Jerry, I've no individuality." "Nor have I. That's the joy of being twins, you see, Jim, but, after all, it can't matter much. We've got each other into and out of scrapes before now, and a few more won't make much difference." "H'm," said Jim, gloomily, "you mark my words, Jerry, a; time will come when the scrape will be the devil of a mess." And it did—though the end was happy. It happened on this wise. Chetwynd, junior, i.e., Jerry, had just returned from leave spent in Scotland, when the gallant 97th, the regiment to which he had the honour of belonging, gave a ball. And from far and wide throughout the neighbour- hood young and old flocked to tread the light, fantastic toe with the 197th, whose popu- larity was unbounded, and whose magnificent hospitality had become a household word. All this was very fine, but on the eventful day, a day to which Jerry had looked forward with more eagerness than usual on accottnt of-but we will not give him away-that un- happy soldier sprained his ankle so neatly and effectually that even to limp across his room became ah impossibility. "I say," said Jim, cheerfully, as he clanked into his brother's room, a tall, good-looking young fellow, in all the glory of his scarlet and gold uniform, "I'm awfully sorry for you, old chap, but, thank the powers, I shan't get into any scrapes over my programme, as you won't be there. It's beastly hard luck that we always do make a mess of things somehow, and no one seems able to sort us out pro- perly." Jerry groaned. He was beset with a desire to hint to his replica to be on the look-out for a certain dainty, flower-like face, a pair of laughing brown eye3. a brilliant smile—but no. Good- ness only knew what complications might ensue were he to mix Jim up in that, so he said good-night with as much cheerfulness as was necessary, and heard Jim running down the stone 4fairs, the banging of a door, and then nothing till the distant strains of the band playing "Beauty's Eyes" made him swear gently. And meantime that dainty face, those dancing brown eyes were glancing anxiously about as if-well-looking shyly for someone: till, as they lighted on a certihn stalwart individual, with a handsome bronzed face and a pair of the bluest of blue eyes they dropped, and a very small smile curved the corners of a pair of red lips; while Jim Chet- wynd, blissfully unconscious jof all this, was busily filling his programme and telling seve- ral people that his brother was laid up with a sprained ankle, but which brother was laid up no one could discover without Jim's assis- tance. And then he came face to face with the owner of those brown eyes. They looked- at him with a smile of recogni- tion, and the sweetest voice said: "How do you do, Mr. Chetwynd?" And while Jim bowed and said, "Delighted, I'm sure, and may I have a dance?" he scanned this lovely vision curiously, and wondered who the devil she was and how she- "Ah, ha!" he chuckled, "this is Jerry's game, I'll bet," and made his bow and departed the proud and bold possessor of three dances and an extra and supper, while Miss Lorimer's cheeks were rather pinker than usual. Now. Jim Chetwynd guessed very shrewdly that this charming vision had mistaken him for his brother. "The sam-e old game," he groaned. "Well, 'pon my soul, I might do old Jerry a good turn to-night, after all. I see what quarter the wind sets in, and, by Jove! what a face she has. Must find out her name, though." This was comparatively easy, and before Jim went up to cl-aim the first of the three dances he had coolly possessed himself of he had ascertained that the belle of the ball was a Miss Lorimer, lately arrived from Scotland on a visit to her uncle, the general commanding that district. "Scotland said Jim to himself, with a siniie "W-ill, anyway. I'll advance Jerry a bit ;n Wigs Lorimer's estimation, and it won't be so very unpleasant either. My dance, I think. Miss Lurimer! Shall we sit it out some- where? There's gach tin awful crowd that dancing is quite out of the question, unless you wish your pretty dress to be torn by our vicious spurs." Miss Lorimer smiled "Doesn't this dress remind you of something?" she said, with a little ripple of laughter and a brilliant glance at Chetwynd. "The ghost in the gallery!" "Ob, yes, by Jove!" said Jim. much bewil- dered, but resolved, for Jerry's sake, to make matters progress a bit "What fun it was!" This was an unlucky shot. "It wasn't fun at all," said Miss Lorimer, severely, "at least to me, and you know, Mr. Chetwynd, you did behave very badly." "Did I?" t:aid Jim, with a surprising amount of penitence in his voice and a look in his handsome eyes which brought a colour to Miss Lorimer's cheeks. They were sitting in a very remote corner of the terrace, which ran the whole length of the mess and officers' quar- ter-so remote, hidden by draparies and great palms, that only the distant sounds of the band and the rhythm of the dancing were borne to their ears. "But you know," con- tinued reckless Jim. "that I would not behave badly to you. That was a jolly time, though, wasn't it? I mean at Arra—Arro—. What was it?" "Arrocharby," said Miss Lorimer precisely. "Yes, and it is a, lovely place. But do tell me, Mr. Chetwynd, is you brother here to- night Jim stared guiltily. "My brother? No; he sprained his ankle, poor chap, and couldn't come. He's just up there—(nodding upwards)-in quarters, you know, and swearing at his bad iuck and other things." He understood now Jerry's depression. "I am sorry," said Miss Lorimer, "and I was quite curious to see him, after all you told me about him." So Jerry had been speaking to her of him! "Let me see. What did I tell you?" said Jim, diplomatically. and Miss Lorimer laughed. "What a memory you have!" she said, "when I think of all the absurd stories you told me about your being mistaken for each other." "Oh. that!" gaid Jim, airily. "Yes, of course, and I assure you I'm very glad, for my own sake (tenderly) that he's not here to-night, for you'd never know us apart." "I am sure I should." said Miss Lorimer, with conviction. "I should know you any- where." "Oh, Lord!" groaned Jim, sotto voce, and then laughed gaily. "Even you might make the inevitable mis- take. Miss Lorimer, but, at any rate, to-night I have you all to myself." And before the night was over Jim had advanced his cause-or Jerry's (?)—to such good effect that he had been invited to tea at -the general's on Sunday, and went home with a fragrant little bunch of violets in his pocket, crushed, but sweet smelling, and the memory of many tender words and Jooks- and the sweetest face in all the world to him. The catastrophe had of a certainty come to pass. Jim and Jerry were in love with the same girl. girl. "Good danoe?" 0 Jim glanoed ap from a letter, and said shortly: "Ripping." And there was a moment's silence. Jerry, his foot and ankle bandaged, and his leg on a chair., was sitting by the fire with the paper and a pipe. Jim, just in from parade, was reading his letters. "I say, Jim," said Jerry, taking the pipe from his lips, "I suppose you didn't happen to meet a Miss Lorimer last night, did you?- a, niece of the general's?" Jim threw a mass of waste paper into the, fire, and a smile broke over his face. He walked up to his brother, and, leaning his broad shoulders against the wall, looked down at him v.ith lazy amusement. "To make a clean breast of things is always a good thing," he said. "I knew there was something, and, by Jove! last night I found you out, Jerry. You're in love with Miss Lorimer." Jerry sat up. "Then you did meet her?" Jim nodded. "Danced half the night with her. You see, it was the old, old story, Jerry. She thought I was yon." "The devil you did." "I say, it's all right. old chap, you know- and, 'pon my soul, I did you a real good turn. I played your part to a T, and it only remains for you now to-cut in and win." But as he spoke a vision of that sweet face rose before him, and the terrible truth burst upon him. Jerry noted at once the change in his face. "Jim," he said, roughly, "you're a brick, bu you're not 'speaking quite straight. Is she- Miss Lorimer-nothing to you?" Jim coloured under his tan, and looked his brother in the face. "She is," he said. "I own I played a part last night, but. well-if it hadn't been for you, old chap, it might have become earnest. Any- way, let's drop that. vYou know I was aluays a bit more reckless than you, and I did make a little way for you. She has asked you—me —to tea on Sunday, and, of course, you'll go. It'll be all square." "Shan't walk for a week, Jim; there's my ankle. and that would give the whole show away." Jim whistled. "Then you'll have to let me be you once more, Jerry. I IOY, but this is about the worst dilemma we've been in yet. But I'll manage it for you-and I've never played false yet." "Dear old Jim. No, but why not tell her?" Jim shook his head. "Better not-yet," he said, slowly. "You hurry up and get that old ankle strong, and then you can trot out and excel your under- study. I say, I must be off. Ta-ta!" Jim banged the door, and his spurs and &word clanked noisily on the flagged corridor. Jerry sat and meditated, and in his medi- tations Miss Lorimer figured largely. CHAPTER n. It was Monday mornjng. It had been easy enough to continue the story, and Jim found his task of playing a part too sweet and delightful now the fact faced him solidly. Jerry it was whom Nina Lorimer loved. They had met in Scotland, and, aIl unknowingly, she had betrayed her secret to Jim. Dear Heaven! And be loved her! He set his teeth hard, and made a mighty resolve. He foul<J leave Jerry to finish the story for himself, and, after all, it would be easy. She need never know, and his own pain would be cured by the healer Time. Jerry's ankle was all right again; and when Jim went into his room he was preparing to go out for a ride. He looked up with a smile. "Well, Jim, coming for a gallop on the sands?" "No, I can't to-day. I say, Jerry, you'd better go and see Miss Lorimer." There was silence for a few moments. "I rather think I shall, Jim. We shall have to make it square, old chap-you know she'll have to meet you." "Yes," said Jim, roughly, "but that needn't tell her anything. Look in the gl-,ias, Jerry." They faced the glass side by side, and Jerry laughed. "It's absurd," he said; "why, I hardly know which is you and which is me!" Two stalwart, broad-shouldered figures, with handsome bronzed faces, dark hair, and the bluest of blue eyea. It was absurd! But one of them turned away with something like a groan. To Jim Chetwynd it had passed the boundary line, and no longer appeared to him in the light of a j )1.e. "You're going out to the Warren?" he said, abruptly, and Jerry nodded '"5re^, Jim, I am. Next time we must both go, old chap, ana put things straight. You see, Jim, it all began in Scotland, at Arroch- arby-and, well, she, Miss Lorimer, told me she was coming here to the general's. Jim nodded. "Then all you have to do, old chap, is to go in and win." "But, look here, Jim, we've both got the same chance after all." "Have w.>? Don't you see, Jerry, we're so much alike that it won't matter much to her which wins." "Not to her, perhaps, but to us, Jim—that is quite another iiiittei." "Go on, Jerry; I can't come out today. Oft' with you. and good luck." Before Jerry could speak Jim was gone, and there was nothing to be done but to ride away along the beach, where the sand was hard and pleasant enough at low water, and after that to turn up a narrow lane inland. at the end of which stood the Warren, where Nir.a Lorimer was staying. Two days later Jim Chetwynd was cantering along a bit of grars growinz conveniently by the roadside. He was on his way to the War- ren, by emcial invitation, and to^Iay the denouement must take place. Both he and Jerry were to be there together. That Jerry had made great way he had very little doubt, and yet he did not seem to be so overjoyed as he (Jim) would have been under similar circumtance But Jerry was always cautious. He glanced at his watch. A quarter to fonr, and Jerry had promised to meet him there at four. He walked his horse slowly up the avenue and, having handed it over to the care of a groom who arrived on the scene, rang the bell, and was shown into a room ablaze with sushine and the scent of violets, where Nina Lorimer was reading—alone. "I am so glad you could get away after all," she said, as they shook hands, and Jim could have sworn that she blushed—quite a small blush, of course. "And where is your brother?" Coming, said Jim, lazily; "he always was a bit behin(lb.,tid-,it least, as a rule," he added, with a mental sigh. Miss Lorimer laughed. "You told me the reverse yesterday," she said gaily. "Can I believe you at all?" Jim positively jumped. Here she was again making that fatal, ter- rible mistake. But ar. that critical moment, when at least a portion of the truth was about to burst from Jim s lips, Miss Lorimer, who had risen from ner chair to stir the fire, caught her foot in a loose rug, tripped, and would hive fallen on the fender, had not Jim caught her with a etrong arm. "Nina!" he said. -That betrayed him. "How stupid of me" paid she, tvuh a iuuls shaky laugh, and then, somehow, prudence Terry, everytqing was forgotten save the fact, that Nina's hands were in his, and he was holding her 9.3 if he could never let go. "Darling, I love yc-u, he whispered, bending his handsome head. "Don't you care a little scrap for me, lima ?" She looked up quickly, and there must have been that in her brown eyes which answered his question quite to his satisfaction, for he bent and kissed her, and made not the least attempt to release her from his arms, when the door wa« flun? open and the irreproachable butler announced— "Mr. Chetwynd." i J'm~here first, after all. Sorry I'm late. Miss Lorimer. but I told you yesterday I might be kept at the last moment. What-" He stoppend abruptly as he noticed th« com- plete and absolute astonishment depicted on Miss Lonmer's countenance Then he Iaa?hed, and Jim reflected gloomily that Jerry always was so_cheerful! "It is a bit astounding uutil you get used to it," continued the cheerful Jerry. "I mean the likeness-as I told you we are always mis- taken for each other-ch, Jim?" "Always?" said Jim, with emphasis. And Miss Lorimer turned and gave him a little tender glance. Only a glance to be sure but Jerry, who was nothing if not observant, ca,tght it and dre-F his own conclusions. "By Jove!" he murmured, "we've done it this time-" Then aloud, "You see, Miss Lorimer, I must explain. I am, as you know, Jerry Chet-jrynd, and this is my twin brother Jim." "But," said Miss Lorimer, in tones of the greatest astonishment, "I really don't under- stand at all. You are the brother." Jerry gazed at her i.ncomprehendiiigly. 'The brother? Of course. I am Jim's bro- ther. "I don't mean that," said Mis3 Lorimer, with some incoherency; "what I mean is that this- (laying a hand lightly on Jim's aleeve)- is the Mr. Chetwynd I know. You are the brother I have never met." Jerry gasped, and then laughed. "Look here, Jim, this wants a bit of expla- nation," he said. "Miss Lorimer, I'm afraid we ve all made an awful hash of things, but, upon my honour, it was quite uuint-entional. wasn t it, Jim?" "Quite. Hadn't you better explain, Jerry?" Do. please, do," said Nina. "Won't you sit down? Oniy please don't mix yourselves up, or I might not know which was which!" They sat down, Miss Lorimer in the middle, Jim and Jerry on either side. "New," said the latter, "I, Miss Lorimer, am Jerry, the Chetwynd you met at Arrocharby. "And I," said Jim, "are the Chetwynd you met at the dance-a case of turn about, you see. Miss Lorimer gasped, and said nothing. Speech was beyond her. "You see," continued Jerry, "you only made the usual mistake, and took my brother to be me. I had a sprained ankle, worse luck-" "But," cried Miss Lorimer, "why didn't you undeceive me?" Jim looked rather blank, seeing that his reason—at first-had been to advance Jerry's cause; an answer to fhis question was rather difficult. Jerry nobly came to the rescue. "Look here, Jim, it's much better to make a clean breast of it. Miss Lorimer, I love you. Jim did me a good turn at the dance, but tben he—Tvell—he "Did the -sime," said Jim, promptly. "He loves you." Miss Lorimer blushed. And the blush wa& not for Jerry. The twins rose. "It is for you to decide," said Jerry; "we are exactly alike—which shall it be?" A smile flickered for an instant in Miss Lori- mer's pretty eyes. They were exactly alike. but they talk about a woman's intuition, and there must be something in it, for a hand was laid on Jim's arm, and a very firm voice said softly: "Jim." And Jim it was. Jerry bore the blow manfully; he always vowed that Nina would mix them up again. "They say it's a wise child who knows its own father," he said, "but, 'pon my word, it's a very wise woman who knows her own hus- band in our family." And Nina was accustomed to claim the honour of being that wise woman. TO-MORROW—"A BOER SPY IN BLOOMSBURY."

SHE WASN'T WORTH IT. A baekwoodeman promised to send a minis- ter fifty pounds of maple sugar for marrying him. Time passed on, but no maple sugar arrived to sweeten the minister's household. Some months later the minister encountered the newly-wedded husband, and ventured to remind him of his promise. "My friend," he remarked, "you did not send me the sugar." The other looked up with a saddened coun- tenance, and replied: "To tell you the truth, guv'nor, she ain't -worth it." HIS LOSS. "Well," said Mr. Tripkins, as bo sat down to his desk rather later than usual, "they've been to see me at labt," "Who?" "Burglars." "You don't mean it?" "Oh, yes." "Then I suppose you'll have to borrow spoons to use at dinner to-night?" "No. The spoons aren't silver. They didn't touch 'em." "Take any iftoney or wearing apparel?" "No." "Well, I don't see what excv-ge you have to be blue." "Maybe not, but when you get attached to an animal it is hard to lose him. They wen over tha house and couldn't find anything worth taking, so they took my watch dog." WANTED SOMETHING OFF NOTHING. A man went into a butcher's shop and inquired the price of a soup bono. "Oh, I'll let you have that for nothing," replied the butcher, a more or less generous person. The customer was slightly deaf, and missed the answer. "Cant yon take something off that?" he asked, never supposing that the butcher had offered: to give him what he wanted. "Ob, yes," replied the butcher, with 3. smile; "call it twopence." And the mean man paid the twopence for the gift, and departed thinking how clever he was. LOOK 'EE HERE. The other day a provincial merchant set up a typewriter. The day after he had eent out his first batch of correspondence by the new machine a young farmer drove up to the door of his office and walked in in a white heat. "Look 'ee here, Mr. Blank." he said, '"I'd have 'ee know that I know how to read writin', and 'ee don't need to print your letters when 'ee send them to me." Without waiting for an answer he threw down the letter and stumped out. I BECAUSE.

The fact that a hearty laugh may be raised all unconsciously was proved to the entire salisfaction of a member of the South Aus- tralian House of Assembly, who.-in moving the reply to his Excellency's address, came out with this burst of oratory: "Sir, we must educate our children." But it instantly flashed across his mind that he was unblest with "babies," and he recalled .himself with: "Sir, you must educate your children," at the same time looking at the chairman, who began to shake his head and grin. Then once more the perplexed orator turned back, and, amid the roar of the House, was heard to say: "Sir, You—^they—we—they— must educate their children," and collapsed forthwith. THE PLAIN FACT. "I observe. Brother Rocksworthy," said the Rev. Dr. Fourthly, "that when I spoke in my sermon yesterday of the evils of gambling in stocks, and expressed thO! hope that no mem- ler of my congregation ever frequented places where such gambling was made a business, you slapped your thigh emphatically. I am glad if the sentiment met your approval." "Why—aw—the fact is, doctor," replied Brother Rockswortliy, "I—I suddenly remem- bered where I had left my umbrella." A DREAM. Her spirit. Iilr. a stray moonbeam, lit up the dusk that lay between us, I saw her in my rapturous dream, a creature as fair as Milo's Venue. A smile played on .her dimpled cheek—the smile she wore when first I wooed her—her face would vie the classic Greek, or royal blood of Guelph or Tudor. An astral lamp, by cherubs held, flashed on her from the airy spaces, revealing in he:" 'witching smile a thousand of her old-time graces. And then-ilh3 jabbed me in the ribs—sent all my rapturous dreamt a-frolic with "Wake up, John, the baby's got the colic."

Rosebery Invited Back. SIR HENRY PREPARED TO STAND DOWN. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, speaking at Dundee on Thursday, said the recent election was a false election. They knew it, and their opponents knew it. and the best men among them were ashamed of it. Referring to the re- arrangement of the Government, Sir Henry congratulated them on reviving the ancient and time-honoured office oi Prime Minister, and hoped that in the future there might be a, little more consistency in their action and a little more care with legislation, and, above all, a little more care and prudence and better supervision over their foreign, their external policy, and, above all, over their Colonial policy. He believed that Lord Salisbury had made the best choice he could of the man' to succeed him in the Foreign Office. THE! LEADERSHIP. Referring to the Liberal leadership. Sir Henry said Lord Rosebery, to their great regret, went out of public life four years ago, none of them rightly understood why. The desire of the Liberal part was that he should remain, and the desire of the Liberal party ever since that time had been that he should return. Their true attitude and policy towards Lord Rosebery was that policy which was familiar to them in the phrase of the "open door." The door, had always been open for Lord Rosebery's return. They should welcome him, and rejoice to see him standing among hia old comrades and taking his share in carrying on, as he so well could, the work which they had been endeavouring to prosecute under the most un- favourable circumstances during his absence. Of one thing they might be quite sure, that Lord Rosebery would never come back to put himself at the head of [t, section. He knew nothing of Lord Rosebery's disposition or his intentions, but he was certain of this, that if he entered public life again he would come back to the whole party, the whole Liberal party with which he was associated before, to the party with all its healthy shades of opinion, which, after all, were only the indi- cations of a healthy intelligence. (Applause.) He would come back to that party with its different shades of opinion, now not nearly so deep in colour and so diversified as tibey were when Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell and Mr. Gladstone himself were able to work with it. In the Liberal party what they wanted was not to suit their enemies, but to suit themselves. It was not division, but cohesion; it was not jealousy, but co-opera- tion; it was not searching after new parties, but the consolidation of the old party. In the country they had that desire, and they understood what was wanted, but he was constantly met by people who said, "We are all united here, but why can't, you people in the House of Commons agree among yourselves?" Why, indeed? Was there any mau in the whole Liberal party, in the length of it and the breadth of it, who could more honestly and with more experience speak to the fact? Why, indeed? He was appointed two years ago by the unanimous vote of his fellow-members in the House of Commons to lead them, and so long as they desired it. he would discharge the duties to the best of his ability. He had no object in public life, still, less emphatically any object in the position, save to maintain the great, beneficent principles of the party as a mighty instru- ment for the good of their common country.

DULLER) TO SEI THE QUEEN. The Press Association states that the Queen has commanded General Sir Redvers Buller to Windsor on Saturday. Lady Audrey Buller will accompany Sir Redvers, and they will lunch with her Majesty.

SPORT OF THE DAY. To-day's lighting-up time for cyclists: 5.10. Kendal Boy has left Beckhampton for Eck- ington, to be put to jumping again. Covert Hack, Bashful Boy, Shaker, Tyro, Gal- liuacean. and The Shogun will be trained for future engagements by R. Gore, at Michel Grove. The fortnight for which Rigby, the American jockey, was JJUt on his feet, having expired, he will be seen in the saddle again at Derby t o-d During the four seasons that "Tod" Sloan has ridden on the English turf he has had 311 mounts, 233 being winners, 157 seconds, and 100 thirds, leaving 301 unplaced. His per- centage of winners in 1897 was 34.48, in 1803 43.87, in 1899 31.30, a,nd 1900 26.45.. Brantome, an English thoroughbred stallion, has arrived in America. The horse was pur- chased in England by Mr. Edward Corrigan, and is to be shipped to his breeding farm in Cilifornia for stud use. Brantome is a fonr- year-old brown horse by St. Simon, the sire of Diamond Jubilee, end his dam is Clarissa, by Hampton. Mr. J. A Drake, who has just returned to America, has some kind things to say about the English turf, of which the following is a specimen: "The management of racing is above suspicion in England. It is on a higher level than here. I personally was treated per- fectly square and with the greatest courtesy. The men in charge of the English turf are of the highest social and business standing." All the same, Mr. Drake thinks that "the English in the paddock and on the turf are up to just as many tricks a a anyone, and they know all the twists in the game. They are out to win."

Genesis of the Tied House. E; EtVILS OF THE SYSTEM. The Hon. Sidney Peel, in a, second long article under this caption in to-day's Wes- tern Mail," discusses the tied house, which he describes, much to the surprise of many people, aa being not of the brewers' seeking. Mr. Peel, moreover, finds that the tied-houae system is not a new creation of these (i.n hydropot par- lance) degenerate days. Mr. Peel says that as long ago as 1818 a Sa'ect Committee of the House of Commons reported very strongly against the effects of the tied or, as it was then called, the bound house system. The beerhouse legislation of 1830. to which later reference will be made, was partly an attempt to break it down; while Mr. Villiers' Committee of 1854 actually went so far as to recommend free granting of all licences with the same object. But it is only of late years that the system has begun to spread at such an extraordinary rate as to make it a most prominent feature in any survey of the drink problem in England. At the present time probably at least 75 per cent. of the on-iicensed houses are tied, and even the off-beerhouses are falling more and more into the hands of the brewers. In Manchester about 90 per cent. of the houses are said to be tied. In Sheffield in 1897 of 523 fully-licensed houses 448 were tied and 75 free; of 650 beerhouses, 467 were tied tncl, 183 free. In the police district of the county of Lancaster about the same time 1,569 out of 2,297 fully-licensed houses and 1.417 out of 1,861 on,bee,rhouseg were tied, as wellfcas 453 out of 986 off-beerhouses. In Chester the figures were 80 per cent, of all licences tied. In Staffordshire in 1896 there were of fully- licenaed houses, tied 1,177, free .887; of beer- houses (on) tied 977, free 829; of beerhouses (off) tied 137, free 232. In Liverpool, where the manager system prevails, there were in 1892 1,057 licensed houses belonging to brewers occupied by paid managers, 218 occupied by tied tenants of brewers, 136 by tenants of private owners, and 667 by private owners themselves holding the licence. A great many similar figures might be quoted from other parts of the country; these are enough to give some indica- tion of how widely the system prevails, and the proportion of tied houses is increasing every month. WHY THE SYSTEM DEVELOPS The reasons for this development are prin- cipally to be found in the conditions of the brewing trade. Browing has falleu more and more into the hands of brewers for sale, and home brewing is almost a thing of the past; owing to the improvement of the methods of brewing publican* have found it oheaper and better to get thsir beer ready made from the brewer than to brew it themselves. The number of public brewers and the size of their breweries have increased very much, and, consequently, there has been great competi- tion among them to secure channels for their trade. Probably the better brewers would Ila-,e bsen very glad to let things re.main on the former plane of free competition, but as other brewers have bought up and tied a number of houses, they have found themselves compelled te do the same. EFFECTS OF THE; SYSTEM. The effects of the tied house system cannot, however, be summed up in a generall phrase. There is a great deal of conflicting evidence as to its results in different parts of the country, but before going further it will be best to describe the different systems of tying. In London the brewer usually holds a mort- gage on the house, and in consideration of the loan the leaseholder or owner of the premises agrees to take from him all malt liquors; perhaps there is a second mortgage on the house, with a similar clause tying for spirits. Elsewhere the brewer generally holds the freehold or a long lease of the premises, and puts in a tenant usually on a yearly tenancy at six, three, or one month's notice, but sometimes at less. Sometimes the brewer merely puts in a manager, who is paid a wae, and is liable to dismissal like any other servant. Thus the occupier of a tied house shades down by im- perceptible degrees from the freeholder whose premisea have been mortgaged to a brewer to a weekly tenant at a nominal rent or a mere paid manager. The important thing which t'hey all have in common ia the tie. The fi; rin- gency of the tie varies very much; sometime the tie is for beer only, sometimes for beer and 1, spirits, sometimes for every article that can be used in a, public-house. The occupier of a tied house at Hull was reported to have sad, I am tied for every d-d thing but saw- dust." Thus in a district where licences are nume- rous the tied publican is ground between the millstones of external competition apd inter- nal pressure. The temptation to fpnsh the trade unduly is very strong; he has probably sunk his little all in the house and cannot afford to leave; he must sa 1 as near the wind as he can; if he does not push the trade enough he is in danger of losing his tenancy; if he pushes it too much he is in danger of being detected in a breach of the law, in which case he will be instanttr turned out by the brewer, and he may have even signed a blank application form for a transfer, which only wants the date and name of the trans- feree to be filled in. The large number of transfers i-s from one licenceholder to another) among tied houses points to the conclusion that there must be something wrong in the system. In Leeds the transfers in one year amounted to- Of fully licensed houses tied 54 out of total free 31 1 353. Of beer-bouses tied 72 tout if total free 4 t 4 '0. Of shops tied 39 t out of totil fi-ee 32 1 404. and this when the free houses in Leeds wera J still more than twice as numerous as the tied. Tlie justices' clerk of Birmingham, not at all unfavourable to the tied system on other | grounds, admitted that the large number of t transfers showed "that the tenant cannot ( make it pay, and is gi i-d to get out, and the brewer is glad he should go out in order that a man with more enterprise should make a | trade." | REMEDIES PROPOSED. The only real remedy is a strong licensing authority, which will inquire into the condi- t ons of the tenancy, and take care than the licence is not granted unless the licenc-;holder is released from undue pressure. Nearly everywhere the licensing authority lias con- spicuously neglected this duty; especially re- markable, as we have seen, is their laxity in granting transfers. It is very in,port-ant that on a transfer being applied for the transferor, as well as transferee, should appear when pos- sible, and give his reasons for loaving the house. These reasons will often shed a flood of light on the question whether the house should continue to be licensed or not. A justice in the Sharnbrook division of Bedford- shire, by insisting on this rule, diminished the number of transfers by 60 per cent. Re- strictions on the ease of transfer will make the brewer a great deal more careful in his choice of a tenant, and the examination of all the agreements between brewer and tenant and the voiding of any that are not so disclosed before the licensing authority will safeguard the licenceholder from that pressure from within, which is as dangerous to the public nterest as undue pressure of competition from without. Meantime, there are one or two advantages in the concentration of the ownership of public-houses which should not be overlooked. It enables the licensing authority to bring pressure to bear more easily, if they wish some reform to be carried out. It also bears on the compensation question. Suppose two public-houses at A. each belonging to a. de- ferent firm of brewers, and two at B, belong- ing respectively to t'he same brewers, all being houses of the same class, in an over- licenced district. If at A a house belonging to one brewer is suppressed, and at B the house belonging to the other, each brewer is compensated at one place, for the loss sus- tained at the other. by a certain amount of increased trade in 1.h- remaining house. In- deed. if thi liquor trade contention that a diminution in the number of houses does not produce a diminution in consumption be accepted, the brewers do not lose, but actually gain. for the two houses must be more expen- sive than one to keep up. Such arrangements. however, should always be entered into with caution, and after a careful consideration of all the circumstances, and that demands a good and active licensing authority.

CADBURY'S COCOA is entirely free from all foreign substances, such as kola, malt. hops, Ac.. nor is alkali used to darken the colour (and I so deceive the eye). Dr. Andrew Wilson a,-kys:- "Cocoa is in itself a perfect food, and requires no addition of drugs whatever." CADBURY'S is absolutely pure. and should be taken by old and young, at all times, and in all reasons; for Chi-dren it is an ideal beverage. Insist on having CADBURY'S, as other Cocoas are often fiubstituted for the sake of extra profit. Sold onY hi Packets and Tins. e3959-3 CAN SAVE. FROM MANUFACTURER TO wearer direct. Read what Mr. J.

AS GOOD AS A POST OFFICE EXCUSE, An Australian telegraph operator who recently made two mistakes in trans- mitting messages, and was called upon for an explanation, replied as follows: — I beg to state that this is my first mistake caused from carelessness. I admit it was carelessness. And I deserve to be fined for it. I cannot account for it, except that the mistake was caused through my rushing through my work on Saturday in order to do some private business in the city and catch the boat for Geelong. I was very busy with eary kind of work on Satutrday, but the mistake was caused through carelessness. It was quite a differ- ent mistake to the error in relation to the ''service repeat" message which you saw on Saturday morning. The latter was caused through ignorance, never having had a similar message before. I wiil alter my system of doing business in future, and I promise no more mistakes will occur.
