LLWMPIA ATHLETIC CLUB.
LLWMPIA ATHLETIC CLUB. Theonngle handicap in the Lawn Tennis Depart- ment was begnn on Saturday, June 26th, and con. eluded on Saturday, the 3rd instant. The rigid rules laid down with regard to the timflt eaoh beat was to be played stimulated great punctuality on the part of the players, and the programme was carried out without any bitch. The handicapping was very well balanced, as the closely oontested tneets sufficiently indicated. The winner was Mr W. Parfitt, who r«^eived plna 15. Great praise is due to Mr Felix. 4-ho was one of the scratch men with thiee biqcea for hie Eucoees as far as the final, On Saturday he met Vr Rowlands -n the semi-final, and the exhaustion resulting from those games were not favonrble to his playing in the final the same afternoon. It was evident in the third set against Mr Parfitt that hia ataying powers had been im- paired. However, the winner is a strong pla\ er, and plays very hard.

SAD BATHING FATALITY. I TWO…
SAD BATHING FATALITY. TWO LIVES LOST. A melancholy accident, by which two young men lost their lives, has occurred at Egremont Ferry. It appears that Mr. James Birchall, of Wheatland- lane, Seacombe, went down to the river to bathe, and whilst undressing he noticed two young men named Joseph Wm. Darlington, aged twenty-two, grocer's assistant, of 13, King-street, and employed by Messrs. Dear Brothers, Liverpool, and Phillip Clarke, aged twenty-eight, grocer's assistant, of King-street, Egremont, bathing in the shallow water. Neither could swim. Mr. Birchall dived into the water and swam to a pontoon which was anchored about fifty yards from the sea wall. He immediately afterwards noticed Darlington fall off the slip into deep water, and, as he was being carried away, Clarke foolishly jumped in after him. Mr, Birchall went to their assistance, but he had to swim against the tide, which was running strongly at the time. However, he reached them and held out a stick, which they both grasped and struggled for. They had by this time been carried close under the Egre- mont pier, and after Mr. Birchall had got them within a few feet of the slip, they let go their hold of the stick and sank. Mr. Birchall was very much exhausted on reaching the slip. The bodies of the unfortunate young men were afterwards found on the shore. Clarke who was brother-in-law to Dar- lington leaves a widow and four children.
ENCOUNTER-WITH A MAD DOG.…
ENCOUNTER-WITH A MAD DOG. A desperate struggle between two police- consta- bles and a large brown retriever dog, which was mal), took place the other morning at Walworth. Mr. F. 11. Sharp, who resides at 13, Albert Street, Fen ton Place, was proceeding along the latter thoroughfare when a large retriever dog, which to all appearances was mad, made a rush at him. Air. Sharp mounted some steps in front of one of the houses and kept the dog at bay. Police-constable Hall came to the rescue, but the animal turned upon him in a savage manner, and fixed its teethe i" the constable's right arm. Fortunately the teeth did not penetrate to the skin, but the tunic was rent some inches. The constable defended himself, but the savage brute made off. Hall, however, followed, and Police-constable Glynn joined in the chase. The dog ran through a narrow thoroughfare, known as Clarence Cottages. Here it was caught in a cor- ner, and the constables endeavoured to kill the ani. mal with their truncheons. The dog succeeded in biting Glynn twice on the left hand and once on the right, and Hall also was bitten on the right; hand. The dog again succeeded in escaping, but was dis- f r ibled in Occupation Uoad, after again tearing Hall's titnie,witli its teeth. It was finally killed at the police station.
THE ACTRESS AND ITER HUSBAND.
THE ACTRESS AND ITER HUSBAND. At the Clerkenwell County Court, Miss Alicd Aynsley Cook (Mrs. Wilding) has been summoned by Mrs. Blacklock, of Farringdon Hoad, for £ 24, cost of pictorial advertisements, representing the; lady as the heroin "St. George and the Dragon." The defendant admitted that the work was carried out but was not done at her order. Hie did not know who ordered the pictures, but presumed it was her hus- band, and she had to pay so dearly for liis extrava- gances that she must pat a stop to it. She had even to pay for jewellery which he presented her with before marriage, and lie had squandered all her aavinga before marriage, and all her earnings after- warda. It was not her idea that suggested the pic- tures in question (the reverse side of a dragon sovereign, with her head upon St. George;, oat, she "knew that they would make a fright of her, and they did." (Laughter.) Her husband and herself had quite a qOarrel about it, because her noee did not turned up as it did in the picture. (Laughter.) Mrs. Bliteklocic and her husband had been friends, and between them had got the brilliant idea" of the picture in question. She gave no order, and consequently did not want to pay. The pictures in question were for a Birmingham pantomime 1883-84; and it was not likely she would go to the expense of £24, for printing out of an eight weeke' engage- coent. If she were a man.ig -ress it would he dif- Leren.; but managers puffed their artists themselves. —His Honour held that the plaintiff had not made Jut tw case, and gave a verdict for only jE3, which Miss Cook admitted.

THERE were people who criticised the fashion in which the late Mr. Holloway made his money but nobody, can have anything-but praise for the use to which he has devoted it. The other day the Queen opened the sumptu- ous palace of education which the great pill merchant has endowed. The young ladies who are to matriculate at the Royal Holloway Col- lege are to be envied; for they will certainly pursue their studies at the most magnificent academy for women in the world. In fact, one is tempted to ask whether it is not almost too splendid, with its palatial halls, its noble corri- dors, its pictures, and its mural decorations. A college need not, perhaps, emulate Cannons or St. Cloud. Certainly, the "Holloway girls" (if that is what they are to be called) will have some advantages over the maidens of Girton and Newnham.

PULLING VOTERS OUT OF A THAP. At the St. Helen's Police Court, before Mr. Biram, two Irishmen, named Lawrence lliley and .tanies Donoughue, have been charged with Iteing drunk and disorderly, and trying to pull voters out of a Conservative trap. The prisoners said they had had a drop of drink and did not know what they were doing. The ordinary fines were imposed These were the only two cases arising out of the election, although many thousands of persons were in an excited state. It should be stated that the St. llele'is police, under Superintendent Johnston, were reinforced by about. 100 men from other county di- vision, under Superintendent Weir, and that admir- able order was maintained throughout the con- test.
BRITISH V FOREIGN SEAMEN.…
BRITISH V FOREIGN SEAMEN. KlfiTORBANCES AT LIVERPOOL. For some time past serious disturbances have oc- curred at Liverpool in consequence of foreign sea- men offering themselves forshipmautin British ves- sels, and it is feared that the authorities will have to take more stringent measures to prevent the dis- affection increasing to an alarming extent. Not- withstanding what lias been written on the subject, the masters of British vessels continue to employ foreign seamen in preference to sailors of their own country, and there are at the present moment many British seamen unable to get shipped. The police authorities have put a special force round the local shipping office, but so bitter is the feeling that the extra officers are eluded, and the foreigners very severely handled before the police come on the scene. During the last few days there have been very few vessels shipping crews, and the neighbour- hood of the Sailors' Home has been comparatively quiet, but early the other morning there were some most exciting scenes. In several instances the foreigners, to escape the violence of the mob, had to take refuge in some of the adjacent shops, but al a rule they were seriously maltreated before they could reach a place of refuge.
DOU BLE MURDER AND ATTEMPTED…
DOU BLE MURDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. The quiet little village of Hall Green, near Bir- mingham, has bet* 11 the scene of an appalling tra- gedy. The wife of a labourer, named Taylor was left at home with two young children, her husband having gone to work, and the other five children to the neighbouring village. On the return of the latter, the eldest of the party, not finding their mo- ther downstairs, went up to the bedroom, but im- mediately returned shrieking and shaking with ter- ror. The neighbours, attracted by the cries of the children, ascended the stairs, and on arriving at the bedroom "were confronted with a ghastly specta- cle. Mrs. Taylor lay on the floor in her nightdress with a razor in her hand and terribl? wounds across her throat. Beside^ her lay the two infants, their heads nearly severed from their bodies. Both children hau apparently been dead some time, but the mother was still living, and was at once con- the mother was still living, and was at once con- veyed to the General Hospital, Birmingham. It is supposed that the act was committed in a fit of madness. The women, who is thirty-eight years of age, had previously exhibited no signs of eccen- ricity.

IT !N;ike.-> On8'J heart bleed to read of the pecuniary troubles of music-hall performers who cannot struggle along on the miserable in- come of £ 50 or S60 a week. Not long ago there was the sad story of the great Macder- mott's bitter fight for existence on £60 a week, and now we read in the London bankruptcy intelligence that Mr. Charles Godfrey, the well- known concert-hall entertainer, has had a re- ceiving order made against him. He admitted that he had been on the stage for ten years, and that his income was from £ 50 to £60 a week when engaged. Ah little do we know of the struggles of the poor in the cruel battle of life.

IT was at first supposed that the fatal disas- ter on the Great Northern of Ireland Railway was due to the action of the extreme heat upon the rails, and there is some ground for such a theory. Near Whitehaven; the railfc on the Furness line have been so warped by the sun that the traffic had to be worked on a single line while repairs were executed, and a heavy mail train on the Irish Great Northern Railway was pulled up just in time to avoid an accident through a rail having been twisted by the heat. At the point where the accident oc- currdd, however, some men had just been relay- ing the line, and there is a suspicion that packing had been taken from below some of the sleepers. The gaffers of two squads of workmen and the driver of the train have been charged at Portadown with culpable negli- gence. The police evidence was to the effect that 270 sleepers were totally unpacked, and that 41 were apparently rotten.

WE fear the perambulator is doomed. For years it has been wheeled over our toes and has blocked up the shop-fronts undisturbed. But since the Lancet" dragged it ruthlessly before the eyes of the public it has, so to speak, been 'under police supervision." We hear that there is a scheme on foot to place nursery maids on a level with cabmen, and compel them to take out a licence. Vehicles of all kinds are illegal on the footpaths but the humble bassi- nette has always been exempt from interference, I whether on account of the partiality of the police for the drivers, or because the police are in fear that in arresting a baby-carriage they might have to take the occupant as well we cannot say. The fact, however, remains. What good will be done by the proposal if it is car- ried out, remains to be seen. One thing is certain, however. Most babies are very much alike in features and an irascible old bachelor who has had his pet corn crushed by the wheel of a baby-carriage would have considerable difficulty in swearing to the identity of the occupant if he were, as is customary, asked to pick him out from a batch of ten. This difficulty will be removed if the proposed system is adopted for all the irascible bachelor, on re- covering his equilibrium, will have to do, will be to hobble after the offending bassinette, take its number, and summon its driver for assault.

A VERy painful scene occurred in a village near Liverpool the other Sunday. It seems that the church has lately been undergoing re- pairs. Among other improvements a new coat of paint was placed On tne pews, followed by a coat of varnish; the result was most pleasing 1 to the eye, but unfortunately the varnish had < been applied so late in the week that it had not time to become hard before Sunday, when the congregation flocked to their seats. No appa- rent inconvenience was suffered until the clergyman was about to deliver the benedic- tion, when tjhe congregation was horrified to find that they were unable to stand up—they j were, in fact, felti&d, or rather varnished, to j their seats. Their spasmodic efforts to rise were most distressing to witness. In vain did the clergyman^exhort them from the pqlpit to resignation. :%6yivret'ff a[6ized with a kind of panic, all the more frightful because they were for the mainent powerless; at lasVby what seemed to be a simultaneous and herculean jerk, they managed to tear themselves from I their atitings; bilt 'at what a sacrince The pews were literally coffered with Sunday ap- jparel. Shreds of silk, lawns; calicoes, broad- cloth, Ofiiatsssitfieres were left as souvenirs of the tenicHy Of varnish used in beautifying that church, and the hapless congregation, rushing from the doors, htirried hQmewards with an expression on their faces as though their hearts were even more severely rent than their gar- ments.

TREBARRIS WATER SUPPLY.
TREBARRIS WATER SUPPLY. »? At the ordinary meeting of the Merthyr Rural Sanitary Authority on Saturday, Mr Rhys in the chair, a letter was read from Sir W. T. Lewis, ia which he said:- Before deciding as to the application for the diversion of the water of the springs on the portion of the Senghenydd Common shown on your trading I should be glad to know whether the present scheme is intended aa a temporary expedient or ae a permanent provision for the snpply of wate? to the inhabitants at Treharris. Sooner or later a large steam ooal oolliery will be opened ia,4w neighbourhood of Nantygarth, which will tequire all the water on that portion of the oosnmon, and I do not, therefore, think it would be advisable to enter into any permanent arrangements by which the natorat now of water into the Bargoed-Taff Valley would be diverted, more especially as I am inclined to believe that, with the increased popula- tion likely to be established in that valley within the next ten years, it will be neocssary to provide storage aooommodat«on, and the arrangements for water supply similar to those which have been found necessary in the ether oolliery districts. Dr. Dyke reported that there was a spring at Craig Bargoed, and the Chairman observed that sooner or later they must fall back upon the water supply- of the- Cardiff Corporation. It was eventually decided that a communication shoald be eent to Sir W. T. Lewis respecting this spring, and that the surveyor, Mr Jones, shonld at onee prepare tracings for the supply required for early purposes.
