FOR WOMEN FOLK. L Homely Hints & Dainty Dishes. WITH PARS. INTERESTING TO THE MERE MAN. Don't reject a thing merely because it is cheap. Most eatables are cheapest when most plentiful—that is. in their proper season, when they are naturally at their best. It is not everyone who knows that a fish- hook, once well imbedded in a finger, can best be extricated after thrusting the point curt through the akin and then breaking off the barb. To remote the smell of new paint lay a bunch of hay in the room. and sprinkle it with a. little chloride of lime; shut up the room for several hours, and when it is again opened the smell will have gone. Do nut teat the freshness of fish by the smell. Ice-packing has long since neutralised the characteristic odour of stale fish. Un- cooked fish should be bright pink at the gills; when cooked, stale fish is invariably as Sabby as fresh fish is firm. A little salt in raw or boiled starch will prevent the irons from sticking and make the starch whiter. If the irons are rough, put some salt on a piece of brown paper. lay a piece of muslin over it, and rub the irons on it until they are bright and smooth. Long Gold Watchains. These chains are very much worn, and when sufficiently ■ long are twisted twice round the neck. In many cases a, number of small charms are attached to the chain at short intervals apart. Hat and Gloves for a Bride. A hat should most certainly be worn when a bride is married in her going away dress. A travelling costume would look very incom- plete without one. The gloves may be omitted if you do not care tof*ear them. When the Nose Bleeds A surgeon advises that the patient should sit with his or her feet in very hot water. This plan he has found effective. In any case, to lean with the head over a basin, in the very position to favour bleeding, is entirely wrong. Better far make the patient lie down. with the head flat, and plug the nos- trils with cotton wool dipped in haaeline, a.nd pinch or exercise pressure on the nose, just at it3 root near the forehead. A cold sponge applied to the nape of the neck is also a good remedy, supplanting the old-fashioned "door- key down the back." On Being Photographed, Remember That. unless there is any urgent reason for it. it is a great mistake to be photographed if you are either out of health or in low spirits. That it is unwise to wear a new dress. It always falls in awkward folds. That a white dre;s, or one tha.t takes "¡ùte," gives a ghastly effect, and one far from becoming, unless- the sitter is young and pretty. That, a feather boa or a lace fichu ha-a a. wonderfully softening effect on the features. Thar, the head and shoulders make a far prettier picture than a full-length portrait. That a veil imparts a. patchy appearance to the face; also. that gloves make the hands appear larger than they are. Food for Consumptive People People with consumption almost invariably eat too little, even less than those in health, whereag they should eat vastly more than the well. Nature seems to be aware of this. for usually a tuberculous patient can assimilate a much larger quantity of food than a health? person. The food should be taken in fairly large quantities and at frequent inter- yals- Not more than three or at most four hours should pass without the eating of some- thing. if it is only a milk biscuit, a. sandwich, or a banana. A pitcher containing two glass- fuls of milk should stand on a table near the bed. so that a glass may be taken in the eight if the patient wakes, and again before dressing in the morning. As much milk as possible should also he taken. Never Lose Your Head—or Your Pedals A writer gives a few useful hints to the lady cyclist. He considers that women are speci- ally subject to the grave sin of loeing control of their bicycles. He saY8:- There is one danger in cycling which women are often liable to. and that is to lose control of their machines on down grades. "Sometimes the reason is quite unforeseen. The brake may act properly, and the rider may be cycling quite comfortably along, when suddenly slie loses her pedal3. and, forgetting her braiie-everything- in a sudden panic, her macliine runs away with her downhill at what seemg to her a terrible ru.te, until with an un- interrupted course the bottom of the hill is reached, and she is able to breathe freely, and to regain her pedals and her scattered senses. "Should there happen to be sharp turn or brick wall at the end of the decline, the inci- dent does not always end so favourably. On this point advice does not do much good. If the wheei-womaoi knows that upon occasions øhe is liable to I03e her head S'he should not attempt to ride downiiiil. With practice and a greater knowledge of cycling foolish fears and nervousness are soon swept away. It is the novice who invariably suffers from loea of control."

A judge in remanding a. criminal called "him a scoundrel. The prisoner replied: "Sir, I am not as big a scoundrel as your honouT"— fcnre the culprit stopped, but finally added— "takes me to be." "Put yeur words closer together" said the judge. "WATER. A young man, decidedly inebriated, walked into the executive chamber, and asked for the governor. "What do you want with him?" inquired the secretary. "Oh. I want an office with a good salary-a. sinecure." "Well." replied the secretary, "I can tell you some- thing better for you than a. sinecure—you had better try a water cure." NOTHING. AXD HOW TO SEE IT. An Irish priest, proceeding to chapel, ob- served several girls seated on a. tombstone, and allied tiiein what they were doing there? "Nothing at all. please your riverence," vras the reply of one of them. "Nothing?"' sr-.id the priest; "what is not!1ing?" "Shut your eyes. your riverence," retorted the girl, "and you'll see it." DISQUALIFIED. The plaintiff in a suit brought against the city of New York had been injured by a fall, caused by "a, corporation hole," and during me trial, Dr. Willard Parker being upon the etand in behalf of the plaintiff, the associate rOUllsel of the city cross-examined him. and elicited the remark that the plaintiff was so injured that he could lie only on one side. The answer was no sooner given than the counsel said, "I suppose, doctor, you metm he would make a very poor lawyer?" NOT MUCH LEFT. "Well, "Father Brown, how did you like my 88MIlon yesterday? aflked a young preacher. "Yon see, parson," was the reply, "I haven't a fair chance a.t them sermons o' you.rn. I'm an old ma-n now, 'n' have to set putty well "back by the stove: 'n' titer's old Mise Smith, 'n' widow Taff. 'n' Mre. By!an'# daughters, 'n' Nabby Birt.

HEIRESS TO £12,000.
HEIRESS TO £12,000. i Spanish Lady Charged With Theft. A PAINFUL SCENE IN COURT. —— Fashionably dressed and of ladylike appea.r- ance, ilercides Algeris de Biot, a Spanish sub- ject, aged 20, described as of no occupation. | living at Lansdown-road, East Croydon, was charged before Mr. Curtis Bennett) at Mary- lecone Police-court, London, yesterday, with stealing a lady's gold watch, worth £5. belong- ing to Mary Ann McKeime, a. lady's maid, of 16. Monmouth-road, Bayswater. The evidence was that thc watch was missed form the beù- room or tile prosecutrix on the 18th instant. The ma;i;r was reported to the police, and in due course Detective-sergeant Goodchiid, F division, traced it to Mr. Melhuish, pawn- broker, of High-street, Notting-hill, who had bought it of the prisoner for 18s. last Thurs- day. Xovember 20.—Detetive-sergeant Goodchiid said four robberies had taken place in the house at Monmouth-road during the past nine months, and in consequence one of the ser- vants was discnargred under a cloud of sus- picion. The prisoner was there all the time, but she was regarded as above suspicion until this matter was traced to her. Mr. Goodchiid added the information that the prisoner's parents' home was in Paris, and she ha.d run away from them. She had now come into a sum of £ 12.G0C, and she had intended to leave London for Paris yesterday to sign for and receive the money. Mr. Curtis Bennett said he should remand the young lady in custody in order that the police might communicate with her parents. The prisoner, on hearing this. showed signs of great distress, swooned, and. falling into the arms of Assistant-gaoler Masters, was carried out of court.
CRICKET.
CRICKET. Hants County Club. Mr. J. C. Moberley presided at the annual meeting of the above club held at Southamp- ton yesterday. In moving the adoption of the report, already published, the Chairman mentioned that Dr. Bencraft, for over twenty year3 hon. secretary, had found that profes- aional duty prevented him giving the neces- sary attention to the club, and the com- mittee recommended the appointment of Mr. F. H. Bacon as secretary, at a salary of £200 per annum and a commission on new sub- scribers. The recommendation was subse- quently adapted, hope being expressed that the membership. whic-iT"at present numbered 310. would be" considerably increased. Mr. C. Robson having resigned the captaincy, Mr. E. M. Sprot was unanimously elected to fill the vacancy. Mr. Rogson's services were warmly acknowledged, and it was decided to vote £2.5 from the club funds for the purpose of a testimonial to him. The match programme will be the same as last !reMOn. with the exception that the Philadelphians take the place of the AU3tra.lians, and home-and-home matches have teen arranged with Essex. The Counties and the Test Matches, It is unofficially stated that the first-class counties will receive something approaching £2CO a-piece as the result c.f the test matches between England and Australia. The minor counties will each get one-fourth of that sum. Lancashire County Club. The annual report of the Lancashire County Cricket Club, issued last evening, states that the membership has increased to 5,132, and the lady subscribers to 344. This and the profit on the year's working have enabled the committee to take the necessary steps to repay £2,000 of the fctal sum of £20.000 advanced by the bondholders. Despite the absence of a.ny profit in the case of Albert Ward's benefit match, the sum handed over to the Australians, the surplus for the year is JE950. exclusive of life-members' sub- scriptions. entrance fees, and the amount derived from the increased subscription. The committee attribute the decline in the county's position to fifth place in. the county competition to a falling off in bowling, out point to the promising form of G. Littlewood at the end of the season, and the fact that Kermode is qualifying for the county.
iCHORAL CONTEST.
CHORAL CONTEST. —— Welsh Choirs Defeated in London ENGLISH PARTY AGA N WIN THE PRIZE Though unpretentious in aim. it is seldom that a more interesting or well-contrived male voice competition has been arranged in London than that held last night in the Queen's-hall in connection with the St. David's Welsh Church at Paddington. The test pieces comprised Sullivan's exquisite part song, The Long Day Closes (unaccom- panied), and "The Word Went Forth." from Mendelssohn's Festgesan? ^unaccompanied). The choirs, which appeared to vary in num- ber between 40 and 60, sang in the following order:—(1) Swansea Cymmrxiorion Male Yoioe Society 'Mr. J. D. Thomas-); (2) Ealing Male Voice Choir (Mr. T. H. Thompson. F.E.C.O., L.R.A.M.); (3) Cardiff Male Yoioe Choir (Mr. j Roderick Williams)': (4) TNe Oxford Gleemen (Mr. Henry B. Wilsden); is) Cambria Pentre Male Voice Society (Mr. D- Jonesl; (6) Munro Davison's Male Voice Ch-^ir (Mr. M. Davison. F.R.C.O.. L.R.A.M.. L.T.C.L.); (7) Southport Vocal Union (Mr. J. Chas. Clarke. F.R.C.O., L.R.A.M. The Swansea Choir having, some- what injudiciously, chosen to give the part- song first. Dr. M'Naught *incuneed that the other choirs would be expected to observe the same order. Adjudicating with Dr. M'Xaught was Mr. William Davies. vT St. Paul's. Tech- nically unesacting as both nieces are, the part- song made, a,3 was exp« ♦ed. the greater demand both upon the emo'innal faculties and on the vocal equipment i the contestants. The Swansea singers wcniJ, probably, have have given a more successful per- formance if they had taken the accompanied chorus fr it. As it was, they flattened considerably, whilst later on the Pentre Choir wa.s found to have gone down a full tone. The adjudication was withheld until a quarter to eleven, a miscellaneous concert having intervened. After the conciu- sion of the contests, Mr. Wm. Davies preceded Dr. M'Naught with a few remarks in Welsh bearing on the present ?;;bdued position of choralism in the Principality. Dr. M'Naught commenced by saying that whatever might OR said to the contrary, he emphatically believed that Wales was capable or restoring itself in every way if they would only xealise that music. not only demanded a natural instinct, but science as well. He then gave a hurried, though fairly exhaus- tive, resume of the opinions formed of each choir, and finally announced that the £ 50 prize and a Coronation msdal worth £ï wers awarded to the Southport Vocal Union, who had gained 112 marks out of a possible 120. Cardiff was stated to n::> second with 105 marks, and Oxford third with 98. The Cardiff choir started the part-song with rapt eagerness, hut the tempo was somewhat irregular. The chorus wac given with pnergy. the whole being, ii fact. an excellent per- formance. But the Southport choir was prac- tically faultless in every way. whilst Oxford waa remarkable for its fine climates. Pentre was poor. though the aims of the conductor were good. and Swansea had no "ring," and were otherwise many points amiss. Dis- appointment. though 8carcely surprise, fol- lowed the decillion, for there was an obvious superiority in the Southport choir. Cardiff certainly did exceedingly well in running it so close for the first pla("e. Other judges would not have hesitated in giving the position to the Munro Davison choir, if the verdict had rested alone on the part-song. The Cardiff choir was accompanied by Madame Clara Novello Davies. The artistes for the Concert were Miss Maggie Davies, Mr. Ffrangcon Davies, Mr. David Jones, and Mr. John Thomas, the King's harpist. Ail were received with patriotic enthusiasm. —
!" NIBBLERS."
NIBBLERS." NOT THE PROPER WAY TO TAKE FOOD. I Clerks in grocery stores are apt to nibble at this and that article of food, and if they are not careful acquire indigestion. This was the cage with a certain young man, who says: — "While I was an assistant in a grocer's shop it was difficult to resist the temptation to eat a little of this and that; a bit of sugar. BOme frnit, or biscuits, and one thing ynd another..After about a year I had indiges-' tion very bad. and had run down to 68t. 71b.. was pale and sallow, and thin as a snake. I could sleep but little at night, and my dis- tress was terrible. '•Finally I was compelled to give up my position and take treatment for my health. I heard of Grape-Nuts breakfast food, and began to use it regularly. I soon began to recover both health and strength, until at the end of about three months" steady use I was so fat and well. and found I weighed Hat. 61b.. which was a, gain of 4et. 131b. in that time. This mav sound a !ittle fishy, bat it ia the plain truth, and can be verified by anyone who cares to inquire of my friends who know the facts." Name can be given by Postum Cereal Co.. I. Ltd..

LIFE IN LONDON. Alleged Traffic in Babies. INQUEST ON AN UNKNOWN FNFANT. At Clerkenwell yesterday an inquest was held on the body of an unknown infant in connection with whose death two women, Annie Walters and Mrs. Sach, are under remand. The landlady at the house where Mrs. Wal- ters occupied lodgings for a few days prior to her arrest said the accused brought home a bahy on the 12th inst.. for which, she said, the mother was to get £100 and the accused 30s. for transferring the child to a titled lady in Piccadi'lj*. A week later the accused received I'. a. telegram, and subsequently asked witness to look at her new baby, which, she said, was a poor baby for which the mother was to I receive JE10 and she (accused; only 10s. for transferring it. A constable stated that Mrs. Walters said to him in the cells that she had no intention 'of killing the baby, and she only gave it two drops of chlorodyne. She had intended to end herself. Witness, continuing, said the accused stated she met Mrs. Sach at East Finchley Station, and took the baby from her, and on occasions other babies which she took back after three days. Police-constable Seal, 23G.R., spoke to Wal- ters renting a back parlour at his house. He heard that she was going to have a nurse child for the night, as 8he was to take it from Eaat Finchley to Piccadilly. He subsequently saw her with the child, a.nd she left the house with it. On her return she gave Mrs. Seal the baby's clothee, and said the lady to whom she had given the child was very pleased with it. Witness became suspicious, and when another baby arrived at the house gave infor- mation to the authorities. Theresa Evans. a barmaid, said she went to the house of Mrs. 8a.oh in June for her con- finement, and remained there till September. During that period some 30 ladies came and stayed at the house, and about 20 were con- lined there. Some fifteen, she should think, took their children away with them. and five children she found had at different times gone. Some of the mothers told her the children had gone away to be adopted. The inquiry was again adjourned.

RIVER POLLUTION IN THE RHONDDA.
RIVER POLLUTION IN THE RHONDDA. Mr. W. P. Nicholas (of Messrs. Walter Mor- gan, Bruce, and Nicholas, Pontypridd) appeared at Porth Police-court on Thursday (before the stipendiary, Mr. J. Ignatius Wil- liams) for the purpose of prosecuting a number of defendants for throwing aahea into the river. He said that this was becoming a serious matter in the district, notwithstanding the fact that it cost the rates £6,COO yearly for scavenging. The people in the locality had been notified that their practice was quite illegal, and the county council had called upon the Rhondda Urban Council to prevent the pollution of the river. The council's inspectors were so well known that when they appeared everything was in order. In consequence of this the assistance of the police had been sought.—Evidence was given by Police-con- stable Davies, and eventually the following were fined .£1 each inclusiveJohn Russell, Sarah Ann Stephens, Arthur El3on,*Eirw-road, Porth; Sarah Hay, Porth; and Mary Evans, Britannia., Porth.
LOCAL LAW CASES
LOCAL LAW CASES UEEL ARISING OUT OF A CARDIFF SHOW. On Thursday in the King's Bench Division of the High Court (before "Mr. Justice Lawrance and a special jury) the case of Coltman v Cowan and others was opened. Mr. T. Terrell, K.C and Mr. Newsome appeared for the plain- tiff, and Mr. Lyttelton, K.C., and Mr. M. Shear- man for the defendants. Mr. Terrell said the plaintiff in this case was Mr. Richard Henry Coltjnan. a manufac- turer and dealer in beehives and bee appliances, of Burton-on-Trent, and the defendants were Mr. Cowan, the proprietor, and Mr. Carr, the editor, of the "British Bec- keepers' Journal," and Messrs. James Lee and Sons, also beehive makers, were the defen- dants. The action was one to recover damages for libel, and it arose out of the Car- diff Agricultural Show of 13C1 in the follow- ing way;—At this show there was a special class for bee-keeping and beehive appliances, at which the plaintiff, Mr. Coltman, and many I others exhibited, as well as Messrs. James Lee and Mr. W. P. Meadows. The judges were not allowed to know whose were the exhibits, and at this show they awarded the first prize to Mr. Coltman, the plaintiff, the second prize to Messrs. James Lee and Son, and the third prize to Mr. W. P. Meadows. There appeared to have been a great deal of dis- satisfaction at the award, and eventually, directly after the award, there appeared in the defendants' paper, the "Bee Journal," a letter written by Mr. Meadows, headed "Un- fair Exhibits." protesting against the awards, and saying he failed to sec in the first prize a single original idea, all the exhibits being bad imitations from other people's produc- tions, which was dishonest and discreditable in every way. Shortly after, on the 11th, MCi;Srs. James Lee and Sons wrote I endorsing the statements, and stating that jilaintiff's exhibit contained imitations of I their (Lee's) productions. The plaintiff there- upon took action, and Mr. Meadows apolo- gised and paid costs, but Messrs. Lee and Son refused, and were accordingly made defendants with the proprietors and editor of the paper.—The defence was that these statements were true. Mr. Richard Henry Coltman. the plaintiff, was called, and his evidence was not con- cluded when the case was adjourned. ADMIRALTY ACTION. In the Admiralty Division of the High Court, on Thursday Mr. Justice Phillimore again had before him the action brought by Miguel X. Savas and others as master and crew of the Argentine steamship Tagus, to recover a sum. of about £1.400 for wages and disbursements. The owner of the Tagus did not defend the action, and the vessel, which was arrested u Sharpness in various actions, had been sold by the order of the court. Mr. Justice Phillimore, in giving judgment, said that priority must be given to the clai'ns of the master and crew. There would be an 0rdcr for immediate payment of the sums due tc the crew, and for payment of £ i0 for the master's immediate expenses. One o: the claims was in connection with the necessaries supplied to the vessel at Cardiff.
MARSEILLES SHIPPING STRIKE
MARSEILLES SHIPPING STRIKE The Marseilles naval conscripts on strike held another meeting at the Labour Exchange on Wednesday evening and decided to con- tinue OIl strike. Patrols of strikers have since paraded the docks in order to prevent the sailing of ships.—Renter. The navigation companies refuse goods for transport Seventy-five per cent, of the dockers are compelled to remain idle. The despatch of mails for the Levant. Algeria, and Tunis is impossible. Mails for the Far East are being forwarded by a. Dutch steamer.— Reuter. The naval conscripts-met at Marseilles on Thursday evening and voted unanimously for the continuation of the strike. Only one vessel, which was moored at some distance from the wharves, was on Thursday able to embark passengers. The conscripts for Alberia and Tunis remain at Marseilles. The Tr.iiss'net Company intend to lay up its ships. —Router. Paris.

1 PING-PONG PARS. Exciting Struggle at Cardiff. VAGABONDS SCORE HEAVILY OVER PENARTH. Played at the Philharmonic, Cardiff, last evening, and resulted in a win for the Yaga- bondis by 42 points a.fter a good, hard tussle. Scores:— Vagabonds. Pcnarth L. West 60 W. J. Roberts 51 D. K. R«f5 CO G. R. Rov.gPtt 55 R. Buttenvorth GO T. W. Roberts 43 n. Warren 60 G. F. Bou&hton 60 O. Harrison 58 Reg. Tliomas 47 1'. Cox 60 Idris Williams 60 A. H. KINK 54 ■R. L. BuUenvortli CO <j. Kendall 55 467 425 The first game was played off by F. Cox and Reg. Thomas. Thomas this season is all nerves, and, after leading in the earlier stages of the game, he afterwards fell off entirely. Mr. Cox, however, is a player that cannot by any means be taken as a soft Enap. and, un- doubtedly. won by forcing his opponent after securing the lead. Result: Cox, 60; Thomas. 47. Penarth ahead on first game. A. H. King v. Idris Williams.—A very clever display, the Penarth secretary making things very warm for the Vagabond captain, and at one time it appeared as though the seasider would win, he scoring towards the finish about eight successive points. The final and win- ning point took about five minutes to play, and waa made up of a. rally of something near 103 returns, Mr. Williams getting home a.t last amidst applause, Mr. King making a mistake—instead of playing the ball he tried to lift the table with his racquet, thus losing the point. R. L. PiUtterworth v. G. Kendall-—This was a very good display, the opposing players playing an altogether different game Mr. Butterworth his usual underhand-and-return- everything game, and Mr. Kendall's sla-shes were terrific. As often as not lie, however, put them into the net on the wrong side, but, for all that, it was fine play. Mr. Butterworth exercised a fine display of patience, and this, undoubtedly, won him the game—60—55. T: Willie Roberts (Penarth captain) v. Lionel West..—Undoubtedly the game of the evening. and worth going some distance to watch. A goodly gathering of spectators encircled the table, including all the local captains and secretaries, Moonlighters, Y.M.C.A., Villagers, Eagles, Penarth, Barry, and the dwellers1 in Whitchurch and Treharris. The game is really hard to describe, but, for a series of brilliant strokes, cutting, driving, and terrific slashing, it could not possibly be beaten. First one held the lead, then another. Thirty all was called at half-time, and the excitement was interne. Then. 40 aU, and the last stage at which the players were level wa.s when Referee Yorath, the popular secretary of the Moonlighters, amidgt grave silence, called 45 all. After this, aided by, we may say, perhaps, a slice of luok tJr nervousness of the Penarth captain, West gradually wore hie opponent down, and ran out winner by nine points—&>—51. It was admitted by all present to be the finest game they had ever witnessed, and should do much to make the game very popular. Each player was heartily cheered for his splendid" display. Messrs. Warren and Johnson.-Another fine game. Mr. Percy Johnson, the Penarth sec- retary, plays a splendid all-round-the-table game, but Mr. Herbie Warren was in tip-top form. and once upon a time last year he knocked out the redoubtable Mr. E. W. Hodge. the Bohemian captain, at a tournament held at Llwynypia. This in itself should be suf- ficient t') stamp him a player of the first water. Last night lie gave a fine show of beautiful cutting, and his forcing drives were hot. He kept a fairly comfortable lead throughout, and came in with fourteen points to the credit of the Vagabonds—60-46. Messrs. G. P. Boughton and O. Harrison.- Once again another good game. The fastest yet played, and both players were running neck and neck all the time-first Harrison then Boughton being ahead. It was a game of very few rallies, every point being decided after about two or three returns. Mr. Boughton put on the closing stroke, a. very hard slash. Result—60—58. D. K. Rees v. G. R. Raggett.-Olose again, only five points separating the two players. Mr." Raggett plays a very peculiar game, and hard to describe, nothing extraordinary to look at. but he scores points fast. Playing against Mr. Morris, of the Moonlighters, earlier in the season. Raggett scored 47 to Morris's 50. Raggett thus deserves to be ranked one of the best. Rees is to be com- plimented on his good show, and a win, if only by five points, is quite satisfactory. R. Butterworth v. T. W. Roboerts.-Mr. Butterworth once again gave the spectators another exhibition of his sterling play, and Mr. Roberts should in no way be thought light of furo losing his game. Butterwoorth is this season about as good a ping-ponger as there is grown, and it will take a fine player to knock him under. The Penarth players were one and all cham- pion sports," and thoroughly enjoyoed their evening's outing. The spectators numbered something like 60, and everybody went away satisfied, Vagabonds included. To-morrow evening a smoker" will ba held At the Philharmonic, Cardiff, at which Mr. Councillor R. Hughes, J.P., will preside. It is intended as a welcome to Mr. Hughes in his new role of president of'the Cardiff and District Ping-pong League. A good pro- gramme has been arranged.

In Christmas week the "Racing Calendar" will be published on the Tuesday. Prince Leo (4y), a chestnut colt by Florizel II.—Avonwater, has joined F. Fitton's string at Lewes. The Burr was struck out of the Kempton Park Handicap immediately the owner saw t.he weights for that race. Helen Ma.rgaret should not have appeared among the acceptances for the Kempton Park Hurdle Handicap, to be decided to-day. E. Day, the Koyeton trainer, will prepare Orestes and Tiny, two animals belonging to Mr. M. Griffith, for their future engagements. The dearth is announced of Colonel -Tom Ochiltree, a well-known American sportsman and writer on turf matters, who frequently visited this country. Out of four gelling: raccs at Leicester only once did the winner evoke a bid, Campana: fetching 65gs. yesterday. The fund would I thus benefit to the extent of less than £ 8. It is the opinion of many American trainers that running on turf in this country will suit the crack American colt Acefull better than the hard tracks of the United States. A few horses with a bit of class about them are likely to be seen over the sticks this seaaon-such as Mount Prospect, Servitor. The Solicitor, Intimidater, Papola, and War- grave. A New York telegram says the Westchester Racing Association has decided to build the finest racecourse in the world at Queen's, Long Island, to be called Belmont Park. It will cost l,500,000dols. With a view to avoid the very heavy closing of races on tJie first Tuesday in January, it has been arranged with clerks of courses that that day shall in future be devoted entirely to has been arranged with clerks of courses that that day shall in future be devoted entirely to races to be run under the Rules of Racing, and that the Grand National Steeplechase and other important races to be run under the National Hunt Rules shall close on the second Tuesday in January.

VENEZUELA TROUBLE.
VENEZUELA TROUBLE. Proposed Seizure of the Customs In the course of an interview with a press representative a "•pntlcman holding an impor- tant official avmointment in London from the Government of Venezuela said that his Govern- meut did not believe that either England or Germany1 would proceed to the extreme length of seizing the Venezuelan Customs in order to obtain satisfaction for the financial demands of certain of their subjects. For years past Venezuela had been torn by civil wars, and the h.lances of the country had naturally got int) a state of disorder, but peace had now come apparently to stay, and all creditors would be satisfied in the coarse of time. He regarded as infinitely more serious the dispute between England and Venezuela over the ownership of the island of Patos. The position was becoming so critical that dangerous developments vmight take place at any momen:. momen:.
REMARKABLE CASE.
REMARKABLE CASE. Captain Charged with Setting His Ship on Fire. A remarkable case opened on Thursday at Durham Assizes. Thomas Sinclair, master mariner, 57, was charged with having set his ship on fire on the high seas in 1894. The evidence showed that prisoner and another man bought the steamer Richmond for £5,000. and insured it for full value. Having sent some cases of oil on board before the vessel sailed for the Tyne, prisoner said a passenger would come on board to go with her. The passenger duly arrived, dressed in a long over- coat and with a. storm cap, the latter con- cealing his face. He brought a letter from prisoner, in which the latter said the pas- senger was dumb, had his own provisions, and was a respectable commercial traveller. During the voyage prisoner behaved in a mys- terious manner, and only came on deck at night. When off Whitby the vessel was dig- covered to be on BMi. and the oil had been broken into. The fire was suppressed, and on arrival in the Tyne the passenger disap- peared. Prisoner was afterwards seen at Shields in a dirty condition, and was suspected of being the passenger. He was arrested, and committed for trial on the charge of having himself set the vessel on fire. He absconded, and was re-arrested in September. The case for the prosecution was that prisoner per- nonat,ed the paseeager. The case was adjourned.

I AMERICAN SOCIETY IN LONDON
AMERICAN SOCIETY IN LONDON The annual banquet of the American Society in London was held on Thursday night at the Hotel Cecil. Mr. Asquith, in proposing the toast of the American Ambassador, said that during the past year many more or less panic- stricken comments had been heard on what was called the American invasion, but he con- fessed himself on that matter an ardent and, perhaps, infatuated optimist. The two nations had one common gift, a language and literature which was the property of both. No. Ambassador had filled the office with greater distinction than its present occupant. Mr. Choate, in responding, said the outstand- ing feature of the past year in American life was the way in which the educated youth of America now entered into politics.

[ THE PENRUDDOCKE CASE This ease has been the subject of a number of further questions put to the Home Secre- tary in the House of Commons. In his replies the Home Secretary makes the following state- ments"Legislation to secure uniformity of punishment in all cases is as impossible as it would be undesirable. The punishment must obviously vary according to the circumstances of each case as it presents itself to the court. Statutes can only define the limits within which the variation may take place. I think it must be obvious that no bard and fast rule for assigning the punishment without regard to the circumstances of the case would be admissible."
