CARDIFF PAINTERS' STRIKE. I Nine of the Employers Sign Agreements. About 200 Cardiff members of the Amal- gamated Society of House Decorators and Painters have come out on strike. At the Oxford Hotel, The Hayes, a meeting was held on Thursday evening, which was largely attended by both Society and non-Society men. The ultimatum from the employers was read, and the men determined to fight the question and strike, commencing this morning. On Thursday evening signatures of nine employers were given to agree- ments which ara acceptable to the men's committee, and it is expected that other signatures will be received this morning, some, it is understood, having been promised. Nine shops at least will accord- ingly remain open, and these employ about 100 men. Two hundred society men are affected by the strike, and it is expected that they will be joined by a number of non- society workmen. A communication has been received from London promising the support of the Union funds, and also that of the Trades Federation of Great Britain, and non- society men who cease work will reeeive the same pay as Unionists. The headquarters of the men's committee will be at the Oxford Hotel. The men protest that the statement of the masters that painters are supplied with all tools is incorrect, and declare the custom to be to supply brashes only.

HEAVY LIFE INSURANCES. I PIERPONT MORGAN-ONE MILLION. I A GLAM6RGAN MAN'S TWENTY-I FIVE POLICIES. I 1 The amounts for which the lives of mil- lionaires are insured would surprise many people by their magnitude. Mr. Pierpont Morgan, the Trust King, is said to have taken out policies with various companies which amount to £ 1,000,000. Some branches of insurance are deeply inte- resting, and one in particular-the insurance by what might be termed "outsiders" of the lives of persons whose deaths would mean calamity or loss. For instance, hundreds of policies have been taken out on the life of the King by business men and others, who would suffer from the disorganisation of trade which would happen in the event of the sudden death of the Sovereign. Policies are even taken to cover a risk involving compara- tively small sums of money. As an example, Mr. J. Evans, a well-known commission agent, living at Tanygraig, Morriston, had twenty- five policies taken out on his -life by clients, and at one time it looked very much as if the company would have to pay up, for Mr. Evans became dangerously ill. How he recovered and thus saved the money of the insurance company is interest- ing reading. Mr. Evans himself told the story of this episode of his life to a representative of the "Herald of Wales" in these words:- "I used to suffer terribly from an enlarged liver and general debility, and owe my present excellent health to Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people. At one time I was so ill that the doctors were expecting my death daily. The illness was very severe, and, of course, I had to give up all work. I took bottle after bottle of medicine, but went from bad to worse. "You can imagine how bad I was when I tell that in twelve months my weight was reduced from 15 stone to 9 atone. I had got so bad that my friends had given me up. When I read an article in a paper dealing with the remarkable cure effected by Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people in the case of a person who had suffered as I was suffering, I decided to give the pills a triaL but delayed the purchase until I had linishe? the medicine I then had in hand. But it was not until I started to take Dr. Williams' pink pills that I felt any relief. "The effect they had on me was wonderful. I began to pick up immediately. After that third dose I felt considerably braced up, and by the time I had finished the third box I had put on so much flesh that I almost looked my former self. Dr. Williams' pink pills un- doubtedly saved my life." wll56

t BISHOP OF EXETER CONSECRATED. I The consecration of the Rev. Archibald Robertson, D.D., principal of King's College, as Bishop of Exeter, took place this morning in St. Paul's Cathedral. A long procession of choristers, clergy, lawyers, and bishops, pre- ceded the Primate up the nave. His grace pro- ceeded at once to the altar, and the service commenced, the Rev. B. J. Knowling preach- ing the sermon. The presenting prelates were the Bishops of Winchester and Worcester.

FATAL END OF A DEBAUOH. I At an inquest in London yesterday on Timothy Ryan, 29, who died in the infirmary from the result of injuries which he alleged arose through police violence, a police-con- stable stated that-on Mardh 22 a woman living in Putney complained of her house having been broken into. Witneea took deceased, who had been left in charge of the house for that day. to the station on the ambulance. He was insensible from drink. A cupboard had been forced upstairs and three bottles of whisky taken, two of which had been emptied. There was no sign of breakiiig lfito the house. Deceased was removed carefully, and no viol-snce was used. Death was due to ex- haustion. following injury to the spine, which may have been the result of a fall or direct violence.—The jury returned an open verdict, and added a rider tha-t they did not consider there were any reflections on the police.

CARDINAL VAUGHAN Looks Upon His Life's Work as Finished. NO IMPROVEMENT IN HIS STATE OF HEALTH. There will be great regret in many quarters, especially among his many friends, at the latest report of Cardinal Yaughan's health issued on the authority of the "Catholic Herald." That paper says that "there is no improve- ment in the condition of his Eminence, and that it is very unlikely that he will again be able to resume active duty." "His Eminence looks upon his life's work as finished now that the Westminster Cathedral is approaching completion, and is taking very little part in Diocesan affairs." For some considerable time now Cardinal Vaughan has been in poor health. He spent a, great part of last year in Derbyshire, and seemed to benefit greatly by the change. He returned to work at the end of the year, and almost immediately was ordered to rest again by his medical advisers. It had been hoped in the Roman communion that so great and distinguished a Churchman would have many years of activity before him, although the serious nature of his illness has never been disguised. That his Eminence should have abandoned hope of his ultimate recovery will be received with the greatest regret. ,"Coming from Manchester eleven years ago, ,And following the aged Cardinal Manning, he infused that life and vigour into the work of the Westminster diocese for which he was famous in his northern diocese.

M. PAUL DU CHAILLU DEAD. The Man Who Discovered the Gorilla. A Reuter's dispatch from St. Petersburg last evening announces the death of M. Paul du Chaillu, the African explorer and discoverer of the gorilla. On Wednesday M. du Chaillu was seized with an attack of apoplexy. He was on the eve of starting on a four years' journey through Russia, for which special facilities had been given him. by the Czar to enable him to write a book on Russia. He had been ailing for some d!ays, having over exerted himself on Sunday last by dancing with the peasants of a village near St. Peters- burg. Paul Belloni du Chaillu was born in New Orleans, Lousiana, on July 31, 1835. His father was a trader on the West Coast of Africa, whither Paul went at an early age, and there acquired a knowledge of the lan- guages and modes of life of thetribes, devoting much attention to natural history. In 1855 he began an exploration of Central Africa, and returned with many unknown specimens of birds and beasts, among them several gorillas never before seen by any European. His accounts of his travels and explorations were keenly criticised, and not believed by many. To vindicate himself Du Chaillu re- turned to Africa and remained there until 1865, and then again published an account of his journeyings in the nature of a vindication. He was a frequent lecturer, a prolific author, a constant tra-veller, and a welcome guest at all times in this country.

V AMUSJNG MAINTENANCE CASE A matronly lady, named Ann Elizabeth Rooke, of 30, Madeley-road, Sparkhill, sum- moned her husband, John Rooke, a drayman, of 19, Legge-street, at Birmingham Police- court yesterday, to show cause why he should not have an order made upon him under which he should contribute to her main- teance. Mr. Baker appeared for complainant, and Mr. Whitehouse for defendant. The parties agreed to mutually separate in 1902, owing to the fact of defendant having an accident and getting out of employment. Mr. Baker said defendant arranged to find work, and in the meantime to live apart from his wife. He found work, but objected to resume cohabita- tion, despite his wife's desire to re-join him. She wrote appealing to him to do SQ. and actually employed poetry, but without avail. The poetry was read in court by Mr. White- house, and was as follows:— There is a time when sternness will give way, When the heart triumphs, Nature wins tha day, When firm resolves and iron counsels yield, And love and tenderness regain the field. {Laughter.)—Defendant, who went into the box, said that his wife left him when he was in trouble, and he would not take her back. She said, Now I am going to live in sunshine amongst the roses." (More laughter .)-The Bench made an order under which defendant will have to pay his wife 6s. a week.

PONTYPOOL GUARDIANS At their meeting yesterday, the Pontypool Guarians accepted the tender of Meeere. Leadbeter Brothers. Newport, at L187, for the erection of a new mortuary at the workhouse. Mr. H. H. Pratt, manager of Lloyd's Bank, Pontypool, wae appointed treasurer to the board in place of Mr. Collins, who has re- tired. The resignation was accepted of Mr. C. F. Probyn, who has acted as vaccination officer to the board for many years. Result- ing from complaints recently made by some of the members ae to understaffing at the workhouse, it was decided to advertise for a probationary nurse for the infirmary.

COLLIERY RECEIVER APPOINTED. Justice Kekewich, in the London Chancery Division, in the debenture holders' action of Thomasset and the Groeswen and the Caradog Collieries (Limited) v. Daker, appointed the nominee of Mr. Baker as receiver and manager of the collieries, which are near Cardiff, with liberty to act at once after to-day.

1MOAT FARM HORROR Great Excitement at Saffron Walden. DOUGAL FURTHER REMANDED I BY BENCH. Saffron Wa-lden was in a ferment of excite- ment this morning, when Samuel Herbert Dougal, late of the. Moat Farm, re-appeared before the magistrates at the local police- court. Hundreds of people congregated at an early hour outside the court house, there ,being again a striking proportion of respec- tably-dressed women, many of whom had come long distances to get a glimpse of the prisoner. In order to avoid any demonstra- tion, Dougal was brought quietly to Saffron Walden early in the morning, and compara- tively few people saw him arrive at the police station. A considerable- number of people assembled at the railway station to meet the ten o'clock train from Cambridge, by which it was expected Dottgal would travel, and they made no secret of their disappointment at having been iox. once izL. a while outwitted by the police. Dougal, guarded by a couple of policeman, entered the court a few minutes before half-past ten. He appeared calm and composed, although '.once. or twice be- I.. Sh q fore the magistrates made their ap- pearance lie pulled nervously his long grey moustache. When the people were at length admitted to the court, they rushed with uhseemly haste to the small1 space given over for the accommodation of the public. The noise of hobnailed boots on the flagstones drowned all other sounds in court, and the policeman's entreaty, Take your time, please," addressed particularly to the women, had little or no effect in stemming the wild charge along the corridors. Mr. Pearce again represented the Treasury, and Mr. Pierrepont (on behalf of Mr. Newton) appeared for Dougal, and Mr. Acland for the next-of-kin. The proceedings, as was expected, were quite formal. When the magistrates took their seats on the bench, Mr. Pearce rose and said:—Since the last hearing a discovery has been made by the police at Moat House which it would be idle for me to pretend is not within your knowledge, and that dis- covery has necessitated considerable altera- tion in the nature and extent of the case with regard to the form in which it was first opened. That being so, it has been arranged that no evidence should be taken to- day, and I, therefore, have to apply to you to remand the prisoner till Wednesday next, May 6, without any further evidence being given. Mr. F. S. H. Judd, the presiding magistrate, then formally remanded Dougal in accor- dance with the application of the Treasury solicitor. The Sfcoceedings, which lasted only a few minutes, then ended, and Dougal later was quietly taken back to Cambridge Gaol. I An Exciting Scene. At the conclusion of the inquest, when Dougal was being removed in the four-wheeler on his way to the railway-station, an exciting scene occurred. Men, women, and children, in an excited crowd, rushed towards the con- veyance and surged around the prisoner and policemen, booing and hissing. Dougal, look- ing very pale and frightened, struggled into the cab, and seemed immensely relieved when the door was safely closed against the hostile villagers.

BLACKWOOD WOMEN'S DIFFERENCES Elizabeth Ann Constance and Agnes Brown, two neighbouring women residing at Owm- gelly, Blackwood, appeared at the local police- court to-day to narrate their differences.—It was explained by Mr. T. 0. Griffiths, who appeared for Mrs. Constance, that the rela- tions between the parties had been rather strained for some time, owing to certain allegations which had been made by Mrs. Brown. Between six and seven o'clock on the morning of the 8th of April Brown was alleged to have called at her neighbour's house and made a most determined attack upon her. She caught hold of Mrs. Constance by the hair of her head and dragged her through the garden in a semi-nude condition. There were several people about at the time going to work, and it was further alleged that Mrs. Brown threatened to knock the complainant's brains out.-Mrs. Brown, who had taken out a cross- summons, brought a heap of similar charges against Mrs. Constance, and the Bench even- tually ordered both parties to pay their own costs, and bound them' over in the sum of E5 to be of good behaviour for the next six months.

DIVORCE DECREE RESCINDED. I In the Divorce Court to-day the King's Proctor asked the Judge to rescind the decree nisi granted to Mrs. Ellen Litherland for the dissolution of her marriage with John Lither- land, a carter, of Hulme, Manchester, by reason of alleged cruelty and misconduct. Counsel stated that the evidence in support of the petition alleged familiarities between the husband and a servant who had nursed him in illness, and who-bad had her bed in his room at the time.-Who King's Proctor's case was that the servant *was treated as one of the family, and medicali evidence disproved the allegation of misconduct.—The servant and Mr. Litherland gave evidence denying they had ever been guilty of misconduct with one another, and the former alleged that Mrs. Litherland asked her to assist her in getting a divorce.—His Lordship, in rescinding the decree of divorce, said the medical evidence ^decided in his mind the fact that there had been no misconduct. He granted the wife a. •Judicial separation on the ground of croafty.

2 CO-RESPONDENTS. One Thrashed by an Irate Husband. AN INNKEEPER'S ACTION FOR DIVORCE. In the Divorce Court yesterday, the action Moyse v. Moyse, Wilcox, and Essling was heard. This was the petition of the husband, Henry Moyse, formerly a innkeeper at Crump- stall, praying for the dissolution of his mar- riage on the ground of the alleged miscon- duct of his wife, Annie Moyse, with the two co-respondents, Wilcox and Essling. There was no defence. Mr. Barnard, who appeared for the peti- tioner, said the parties were married on the 9th of January, 1890, at Chorlton-on-Medlock, and. they afterwards lived at Ashton-under- Lyne. At the end of 189i the petitioner took the Cotton Tree Inn, at Crumpstall, his wife assisting him in carrying on the businese.1 After a time he noticed the respondent gave way to intemperance. Wilcox, one of the co- respondents, was the manager of the Twine and Spinning Company, and in 1898 he noticed he was frequently at the public-house, and his (petitioner's) suspicions were aroused as to the conduct of his wife. In October of 1898 the petitioner, who also carried on the busi- ness of a fishmonger, told the respondent that he was going away for a time, but he did not leave the place. He concealed himself in another part of the prep1is. Wilcox subse- quently came to the house and went with the respondent to the sitting-room After a time petitioner went to the room, where he found them. He at once seized Wilcox, thrashed him severely, and kicked him out of the house. Wilcox ran away and never took any proceed- ings against the petitioner for assault. The respondent that night left the house. They had lived apart ever since, and there had been no claim for maintenance. In 1901 the res- pondent gave birth to a child, and she after- j wards admitted that Essling was the father. The respondent, the learned counsel said, would give evidence to that effect, and also, that he (Easling) knew she was a married woman. The petitioner gave evidence to the effect stated by the learned counsel. Other witnesses, including the respondent, spoke to the visits of Wilcox to the Cotton Tree Inn, the birth of the child, and as to the identity of the respondent. Sir F. Jeune granted the petitioner a decree nisi, with costs against both co-respondents. ■ ■■ =

FOOD V. DRUGS. A Salesman's Wisdom That Counts. He is a shrewd man who learns that, although drugs are all right in their place, the use of proper food will make medicine unnecessary in the majority of cases. "Travelling through various towns," writes a drug salesman, "drinking different waters to which I was not accustomed, eating strangely- prepared meals at irregular hours, I con- tracted dyspepsia, accompanied by nervous- ness, loss of sleep, and, consequently, loss of energy. I often had the 'blues,' that in- describably tough feeling which makes one look on. the dark side of every picture, and see the shadows of life rather than the sub- stance, imagine the thousand calamities that were never in existence, and so render life almost unbearable. Many thousands of men under the circumstances would have resorted to stimulation from drugs or liquor. "I happened to read an article on Grape- Nuts fully-cooked cereal food about a case similar to my own, and determined to give the food a trial. It agreed with me from the start, and the miserable distress that usually came after eating did not manifest itself when I ate Grape-Nuts. I asked for this food at every hotel at which I stopped, and made it the principal part of the meal. My stomach soon got so that I could eat any kind of rich food in connection with Grape- Nuts without it distressing me. My dys- pepsia and nervousness disappeared, and life looked bright and happy 'once more. I am now well, healthy, happy, and able to work sixteen hours out of the twenty-four, and can sleep like a healthy child the other eight hours. "My family soon tires of mushy cereals, commonly served as porridge, but we never I tire of Grape-Nuts. The children thrive on it and enjoy it. You may publish this if you think it will encourage others to try Grape-Nuts instead of medicine or spirituous remedies that stimulate the system for a time, but do not build it up."

STRANGE CONFESSION OF MURDER I At Bow-street, London, yesterday, Helen Dunlop, 42, a respectable-looking woman, having no home, was remanded charged on her own confession with murder. On Wednesday evening the accused went to Bow-street Police- station and informed the inspector that she had just thrown a boy; aged about three years, into the River Thames. He asked her who the child was. She replied that she didn't know, saying that she had met him on the Embank- ment and thrown him into the water. The Thames police were at once communicated with, and men in three boats searched for the body, but without success. The prisoner sub- sequently denied that her statement was true, and when charged said, "I came here and said it because I was told to go to the workhouse." Inquiries were made at the Salvation Army Shelter, Clapton, where she had been living, but nothing could be found out about her except that she was believed to have relatives at Brighton.

FOOTBALL. .1 Cardiff Leagues Not Yet Decided. The season has not ended yet, wails "Spokes." Orange Stars not only knocked the Mackintosh in the &nal for the Mallott Cup, but on Monday they had the audacity to again defeat Mackintosh in the "Mack's" final league game. This brought about complications, for Canton, Mackintosh, and Boath were, through the Grange vic- tory, on an equality with 21 points each, providing Romilly and St. David's gave Boath and Canton respec- tively a "walk over," as is anticipated. The District Union were in a dilemma on Tuesday night last. 'They found a way out of it by "placing the three teams In the hat" and arranging another contest. The outcome is that to-morrow, probably on the Barracks' Field, Canton meet Roath and Mackintosh have a bye. The winner of the first match will meet the. Mackintosh club in the final at either Grange or the Barracks' Field on Tuesday next. Not until then will the local league, which has produced the keenest interest throughout the season, be ended. The second division has been won by Empire United, whilst a couple of matches to-morrow will decide the third division. The matches are-St. Teio's v. Car- diff Villa, at Grange, and St. James's v. Penarth Thistles, at Penarth. Should St. Teilo's Drove vic- torious they wfil secure the championship, but a defeat for them and a win for St. James's will give the latter the medals. "Spokes" voices.the wish of many when he hopes that after the matches named above have been played that the "close season" shall be strictly adhered to. CARDIFF AND DISTPBICT RUC-BY UNION.

WELSHING AT NEWMARKET At a special court at Newmarket yesterday morning Albert Gore, of Wakefield-street, King's-croes, and Arthur Wilson, Steel-road, Tottenham, were charged with stealing £4 from Thomas Haliwell, bookmaker, of Oldham* road, Manchester, at Newmarket Races on Wednesday.—The Deputy-chief-constable said it was a case of welshing, and called the pro- secutor, who eta,ted that he gave the prisoner Wilson X4 as a 6 to 4 bet on Rock Sand in the Two Thousand Guineas. 'j:hen the result of the race was known he went for his money, and prisoners had disappeared. They had been wearing white bats, but when he saw them later in the afternoon they were wearing ca,p,s.-Police-inspector Arrow, of Scotland Yard, said when he arrested prisoners eight or nine persons preferred charges of welshing against them in connection with Rock Sand. He found the white hots, betting-book, satchel, and betting tickets in the name of Jack Lundy," produced, where the prisoners said they were hidden.—Prisoners were remanded, bail being granted. -L.

ONE OF A GREAT NUMBER.-The. details of a remarkable cure by Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people are published in this issue, after a thorough investigation. The cure is only one of a very great number in Wales. These pills are praised by all classes of people for the way in which they have cured paralysis, locomotor ataxia, rheuma- tism. and sciatica; also all diseases. arisine from impoverishment of the blood, scrofula, rickets, chronic erysipelas, consumption of the bowels and lungs, anaemia, pale and sallow complexion, general muscular weak- ness, lose of appetite, palpitations, pains in the back, nervous headache and neuralgia, early decay, all forms of female weakness and hysteria. These pills are a tonic, not a purgative. They are genuine only with the full name—Dr. Williams' rå.k pills for pale people—and are sold by chemists, and by Dr. Williams' medicine company, Holborn Viaduct, London, E.C., at 28. 9d. a box, or six boxes for 13s. 9d.

SPORT OF THE DAY. I D. Maher .will ride Rock Sand, the Two Thousand Guineas winner, in the Derby The improvement in the condition of J. Dawson, sen., is fairly well maintained. There will not be "great expectations" when Sanroque, the two-year-old own brother to Rock Sand, appears in public. By his success in the March Stakes, yester- day, Handicapper has insurred a 51b. penalty in the Great Jubilee Handicap, his weight being thus raised to 8st. 21b. W. Pratt. who has been riding with much success for several seasons in France, will shortly commence training, and will get to. gether a string of horses at Chantilly. Through the falling of Khalifa II. in. the United Service Half-bred Hunters' Steeple- chase at Aldershot on Wednesday, Captain E H. Trotter had the misfortune to break his collar-bone. Australian Colours, who last year proved himself a racehorse of all-round ability in ¡ the land of the Golden Fleece, has arrived I at Pi mperne, where he will be prepared for j future engagements by W. Walters, sen. Two horses called Kruger and Boer were entered for the race meeting at Longchamps to-morrow, at which King Edward will be pre- sent. The owner's attention having. been directed to the inappropriate character of the names he has cancelled the entries. At a meeting of the Jockey Club on Wednes- day, Mr. Brassey gave notice that the question l of the training school for jockeys, referred to at the last meeting, would be brought up for t discussion at the Second Spring meeting. Mr. Lowther gave notice that he intended to oppose the proposition. It will be observed that Galopin appears in all the pedigre-as of the placed horses for the Two Thousand-being grandsire of the dam of Rock Sand, great-grandsire of Flotsam, and ] grandsire of Rabelais. Rock Sand is the first brown colt to win the Two Thousand Guineas since St. Frusquin, the second since Common, and the third since Scot Free scored in 1884. His: great-grandsire, Vedette, who won the Guineas in 1857, waa a brown horse. Licences under Rule 95 of the Rules of Racing have been granted to the following jockeys for 190.3:-M. Bergen, J. S. Day (apprentice to Mr. A. Sadler, jun), E. W. Dunbar, W. G. Evans (apprentice to Mr. J. Cannon), H. Mirfin,"T. E. Mowsttt (apprentice to Mr. J. Biatho), C. Wood (apprentice to Mr. J Cannon), and J. Wright. Under National Hunt Rules the following have been licensed:—J. Bell, J. F. Boxall, A. Cole, W. Hopkins, A. Parker, T. Wilmot, and C, Yar-, nell. FIELD TRIALS OF SPORTING DOGS The trials of the National Field Trial Asso- ciation were finished yesterday, the meet being at Preston Brockhurst, some nine miles from Shrewsbury. A start was made by the two- pappy winners, Mr. B. J. Warwick's "Compton Bounce" (retriever) and Mr. R. T. Mawson's pointer "Wagg of Bromfield," be- ing slipped for the £10 offered as a' special prize for the best puppy of either variety the meeting. The award was at once made with the champion stake for pointers and setters of all tagea. Eventually the judges made their award a3 follows:—First, £ 50, Mr. B J., Warwick's (London) "Oompton Pride"; second, £30, Major Heywood-Lonsdale's (Salop) "Ightfield Duke."

ON THE FOOT T RAOK. The "Evening Express" to-morrow (Saturday) will contain an article by Mr. Arthur B. Manning of special intereet to athletes. In it he deals with the "State of Athletics in Cardiff," and gives such straightforward criticism of the local centre of the A. A. A. as will provide food for.reflection to the officials concerned.

I GOLF. I The Parliamentary Tournament. 1 The draw for the first round in the Parlia- j mentary Golf Handicap has been made, and play commences at Rye on Saturday, May 16. < The entries, 118 in number, are the largest on record, thus testifying to the popularity of the new system-the abandonment of the play against bogey and the substitution of match play. There are very few byes in the first round. The Prime Minister has been for- tunate enough to obtain one, so that he will be able to get through the first day by play- I ing a single round., Another notable circum- stance is that this year all sections of the House of Commons are represented, Mr. I William M'Killop having come in to play for the Nationalist party. Another new golfer from the Sister Isle is the Solicitor-Genera,1 < for Ireland. Both the Lord Chancellor and the Speaker are enthusiasts at the game, and very often spend part of the week-end together on one of the Surrey courses, but neither has entered the competition. The Attorney- General, Sir Robert Finlay. re-appears, after ¡ a considerable interval, and three of the l' Opposition whips—Mf-. Herbert Gladstone, Mr. R. K. Causton, and Captain Sinclair—are among the players.
