To OPINION OF EVERY ENSLKHHAN is that libeity of speech and action is the birthright of every free man. Britons never shall be slaves is one of the most popular of our national songs, and, as a matter or iaat, u is impossible for slavery to exist under cne Protecting shadow of the British flag. In the same manner men cannot remain bound Dy the tyrannio shackles of disease, if they will place themselves under the healin, influence of Holloway's Pilb and Ointment. Their success in all parts of the world is now a familiar story, and it is only necessary to say here, there is no known disorder that cannot be speedily culed or relieved by ^ANQHoa TEA I AKCKOB TIAI

Son o' Mine Is an unlikely starter for the Ascot Stakes, report running to the effect that Lord Durham will reserve him for the Northumberland Plate. At Asoob the first public performance will Srobably be made of Pionni, a fine coll by Peter 'lower out of Proof. The youngster, who belongs to Lord Durham, has been well galloped, Morny Cannon bus to work very hard to keep his weight down, And it is with difficulty that he goes to soale at 8st 61b. He will not be able to do this weight next year. Milford, who as a two year old was once thought to be worth £ 10,000, has had rather a chequered career, and he is not unlikely (says a sporting gossip) to place a few races under Jockey Club rules to the credit of the Jersey Lily before the season is over. He is a horse, how- ever. that wants a lot of riding. John Porter in his book uKisg8dtt^11 jut published, an iho Whipper-in wae "the most admirable trial borse he ever possessed." He Was I the trustworthy tell-tale over all courses, the key to the stable for five successive seasons. He tried everything, from half a mile up to a mile and a half, and never made the ghost of a mistake. Odds were laid on Irish Wake for the Club welter Plate on Friday at Lingfield, but in running the wagering turned round, and odds were laid on Iimington, as below the distance all were ridin after Mr Lushington's mount. Stride i.8L S Wake got to the leader, and oatching him a short distance from the post ran his race out with great resolution and scored by a head. J At Newmarket on Friday morning Jewitt stripped Erin (C. Ward up), Portmarnock (G Onaloner), Faversham, Easter Gift (Woodburn), Mitre, and Runnelstone, the six being sent a really good gallop of just over a mile. Erin won in a canter by three lengths from Portmarnock, who had a neck advantage of Faversham. Erin was supported at 16 to 1 for the Royal Hunt Uup la London on Friday. John Porter was born at Rugeley, in Stafford- shire, on March 2nd, 1828. He always evinced a desire to make his mark in the world of sport, and when J. Day (" Honest John ") bad a vacancy in the stable for a light-weight John applied and was engaged, It is interesting to learn that Porter drew out his own indentures in proper legal form. The term was for three years. j u ^'raK° was Porter's special charge, and he declares that she was the best mare at all distances that ever trod the turf.

AQUATIC SPORTS AT PEN- ARTH SWIMMING BATHS. The Penarth Swimming Club have arranged a strong fixture list for this season, having hotrie and away matches with Weston, Cardiff, Bristol, Swansea, and Newport and during August the celebrated Plymouth Leander S.C. will pay Pen- arth a visit. The season started on Saturday evening last, when Weston S.C. sent a strong team over to try conclusions with the home team. '"ijke the event still more worthy of notice, Mr W. Henry, hon. sec. LS.S., holder of the world's pluuging record, and one of the finest amateur swimmers of England, attended and gave splendid exhibitions of fancy and scientific swimming and plunging. The homesters proved a bit too strong for the visitors in the polo match, the final score being 4- goals to.'nil, J. H. Goodland I and R Sketch scoring 2 goal each. The teams were ns follows Weston-Goal, Harse backs, Jones and Hodges Warner. <' I half-back, Harris forwards, Clothier, Clay, and Penarth,-Goal, E. D. Goodland backs, J. F. Edwards and E. J.

The com- mittee have also arranged for several races to come off at the same time.

TYLORSTOWN DISASTER. SOUTH WALES DAILY NEWS RELIEF FUND In accordance with their usual custom on the occasion of a serious colliery explosion, the proprietors of the South Wales Daily News have opened a Relief Fund for the widows and orphans caused by the sad calamity at Tylorstown. By this explosion no Jess than 57 lives were lost, thereby deprivi ig 30 widows and 90 orphans of their breadwinners, besides seriously affecting other dependants. A considerable sum of money is therefore necesssary to relieve the distressed, and we feel sure that the generosity of our readers and the public generally will be as liberal and ready as it has been on every previous occasion.

GULF. THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP. The open golf tournament having resulted in a tie between Vardon, of Scarborough, and J. H. Taylor, Winchester, these players met on Saturday at Winchester to decide who shall be champion for the ensuing year, Taylor played badly to commence, his putting being weak. At the end of the ninth hole Vardon led by five strokes, but Taylor improving in his placiog at every succeeding hole gradually reduced this, and at one time was only one to the bad. Weak patting again gave Vardon a chance to moMMe his lead, and the first round finished- Taylor, 80; Vardon, 78. varden ultimately won the championship, the scores being Varden, 157 Taylor, 161.

Other novels from bis pen have been Under the Green- wood Tree," A Pair of Blue Eyes (1873), "The Trumpet-Major (1880), "(The Laodicean (1881), The Hand of Ethel- berta," The Return of the Native," The Mayor of Casterbridge," Wessex Tales." and A Group of Noble Dames." In 1892 appeared" Tees of the DTJrbervilles," which was held by some of the critics to he the finest of all his works. In June, 1893, Mr Hardy broke ground in a new direction with a dramatic piece called, The Three Wayfarers," which achieved a striking success, and is said to have persuaded him to attempt further dramatic work. His latest work, Jude the Obscure," is not regarded as a success. He was made a J.P. in 1894, when also appeared c new volume of tales entitled, "Life's Littif Ironies."

Goodwyn and Jenkins kept together, and the score was slowly augmented, and after 48 minutes' play the 40 was telegraphed The batsmen were still together when 10 minutes later 50 was hoisted, and S. Sweet- Escott took the place of Lowe. Goodwyn put the newcomer's second ball away for four. Biggs sent down a maiden, and then off the fourth ball of Escott's second over Goodwyn was smartly taken by the wicket-keeper. The stand had produced 50 runs, of which Goodwyn scored just half. Jenkins put the last ball before lunch away for four, thus sending up 60. Five runs were added after luncheon, and then Jenkins, who had scored 27, was run out. Stedman then partnered Thompson.

Brain opened the Cardiff innings to the bowling of Thompson and Porter In the first over Silverlock, in the slips, missed Brain, and the batsman signalised his let-off by putting the next ball to the boundary for four. Both batsmen then played fine cricket, 40 runs being put on in 20 minutes. With the score at 41 Brain returned a ball to Thompson, which was splendidly taken. T. M. Barlow came next, and the cricket slowed down somewhat. At 10 minutes to 5 the 50 was reached. With the score at 60 Sil- verlock was put on in place of Porter. Runs now came freely from both ends, and at 88 Stedman was tried vice Thompson. Still the scoring continued, and at 6.15 the century was put up.

Hickley then partnered David. The latter then batted freely, and the score was raised to 144 when Hickley was dismissed. A. H. Mann then joined David. The latter continued to score at a good rate, and at 10 past 6 the Newport total was passed with four wickets in hand. At 172 David, who had made an invaluable contribution of 42, raised a ball from Porter, which was taken by Rees. Soon after Selwyn Bigg-; went out, Mann began to hit out freely, and at 6.20 the 200 was telegraphed. Twenty minutes later the 250 was reached, and it was not until 272 runs had been registered that a separation was effected, Mann being then dismissed after putting on 67 rnns.

SWANSEA, Saturday.—This match was played in fine weather and on a good wicket. The collegians went in first to the bowling of Creber and B. Letcher. Both batsmen played cautiously and runs were very difficult to get, the bowlers keeping a good length and the fielding being close. The wickets fell rapidly. five being out for 21. The light was very unfavourable for the batsmen, and they were content to keep their wickets intaot without taking any risks. When the luncheon bell rang the score stoo for five wickets. Resuming after luncheou H. Seymour pat some life into the game by hitting Lethcer for 4 fours in the same over, and after contributing a most useful 25 he was caught off the same bowler. The next 3 batsmen only made 6 amongst them, and 9 wickets were down for 49 runs. The last wicket fell at 53, leaving the homesters a somewhat easy task. Creber took 5 wickets for 12 runs, and H. Letcher 5 wickets for 41—both praise- worthy performances. At 3.40 Swansea went in. Shepherd was soon out, but when Bancroft and Geogbegan became associated runs came at a good pace, the former bitting the ball for 3 fours in one over, and 30 soon went up. Geoghegan did not appear comfortable with the bowling. A change now took place in the bowling which at once proved effective, as Bancroft was caught in the slips off Lloyd's third ball after compiling 18-2 for 31. With only three added to the total Geoghegan was very sm&rtly caught and bowled by James for 14. EL B, Letcher and L. N.
