SWEDISH GYMNASTICS COMMENDED. —The little speech delivered by Dr. Lilian Blake at the Swedish gymnastic display given in Miss Hall's gymnasium in Prince's Drive last week was unfortunately crowded cut of our report- of the proceedings, and as ,ome of he.r remarks may be helpful to parents they are given this week. Dr. Lilian Blako has vatched the progress of Miss Hall's interesting departure from the commencement, and, referring 'o that fact, she said she had had considerable experi- ence of the work accomplished, c-specially with regard to the treatment of various diseases and deformities, and she could testify to the great interest and pereisrveranoe shown by Miss Mali in the work and to the results obtained. The audi- ence had seen for. themselves the way in which classes were taught and what could bo aotiieved in this direction. When she (the speaker) ad- vised gymnastic training for children one objec- tion frequently brought forward was that it was dangerous. It might be dangerous to burn crni kk-en loose in a gymnasium without super- vision, but properly ordtercd lessons by a trained teacher were perfectly safe, proper breathing, habits of prompt obedience, good carriage, and healthy organs were the beneficial results of such teaching. The work was carefully, gradua- ted, no exercise being attempted until :.he vajr ious preliminary movements bad been mastered, so that all dtanger of strain was avoided. Another objection sometimes brought forward was that time could not be spared from school. In these days everybody wanted to pass examinations, but surely a healthy body was of aa much import- ance as any examination. Dr. Blake congratu- lated Miss, Hall on her work, and wished her success in the future. 1. ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH— The Easter Vestry in connection with St. Andrew's Church was held, on Friday evening, when the Vicar (Canon Hugh Roberts) presided.

Miss Sandes had given her whole life to meet that need, and estab- lished Soldiers' Homes in eight military stations in India, and 23 at home. Miss Maqui.ro, after describing military life in Irish towns, explained that ladies lived in each home, who give their services gratuitous- ly for the moral elevation and comfort of the soldiers. In each home are temperance coffee-rooms, recreation-rooms, meeting- rooms, a,nd beds for soldiers, sailors, and police when passing to and fro on duty amd furlough. Last year X36,500 was taken ia small sums in the ooffee-rooms, but the work- ing expenses of the 31 homes exceeded the takings by X4000. For this Miss Sandes appealed for annual subscriptions.

A RECORD "CATCH."—A correspondent writes :-An incident of a somewhat amusing nature was witnessed on Wednesday evening, near the Gower Bridge. It appears that a visitor, armed with rod and line, was plying the gentle art and enticing the wily trout. Above him on a high bank: stood a cow in a contemplative attitude. Suddenly a big trout rose like a flash, and the sudden action of the angler in trying to land his. capture I startled the cow, with the result that slipped, and fell with a mighty splash into the pool beneath. The rod was struck from the angler's hand, and after a few spasmodic sp, movements floated o-ent.lv down stream, while the trout, taking advantage of suoh a favour- able opportunity, got away. By this the jow was making futile efforts to regain terra firma. It soon beeime evident, however, that the animal was drowning, so the angler with the generosity of his cult cabled for assistance, and ultimately the half-drowned cow was rescued by t.he means of ropca.

In the Chancery Division, Mr Justice Parker on Friday,, heard an application by Robert E. Find lay, of 34, West George-street, Glasgow, for Richards, Find-lay and Co., cotton piece goods merchants, of Glasgow, to expunge from the register a ticket registered in the name of David M'Kie, Tanybryn, Oolwyn Bay. Mr Sebastian, who appeared in support of the application, said that at the time the label was devised the oompany was not in existence, but it had been used by its prediecea.sors since 1899. It was designed by a Japanese artist, and was used as a trade mark. In July, 1898, the plaintiffs entrusted it to someone in Man- chester for reproduction, and between 100,000 and 200,000 had sinoe then been printed. In 1902 they instructed the printers to apply on their behalf to register it as a trade mark. In 1909 the plaintiffs decided to have the design executed elsewhere, and they then discovered that the mark had been registered in the name of M'Kie. It was that registration tihat they j now sought to expunge. The respondent aid not appear, and Mr M'Kie had written to the plaiintiffs to the effect that he was willing to assign to Rohards, Find- lay and Co. His lordship made the order as asked, with costs.
