FOR WOMEN FOLK 11 Homely Hints & Dainty Dishes. WITH PARS. INTERESTING TO THE MERE MAN. A little salt sprinkled on a smoky fire will -elea.r it. Pancakes should be cooked very quickly if they are to be crisp. A good way to clean zinc is to dip a piece of cotton in kerosene and to rub the article to be cleaned with it until all dirt is removed. Well rinse with hot water afterwards, and dry with a clean cloth. Sofa and chair covers and rugs can be reno- vated by sponging them with water in which a little ammonia is mixed, changing the water as the dirt cornea off. The material should be carefully brushed first to get the dust out. Novel Hemedy for Whooping Cough Flogging as a remedy for whooping cough 'is said to be a favourite style of treatment in Austria. Whooping-cought, declare the doctors, being rather a nervous affection than anything else, the flogging is a counter- irritant, and rouses the child to an exercise of the will which often suppresstes the cough. Banana Desert Baked bananas, with orange or lemon sauce, make a novel dessert, and one easy to pre- pare. Peel the skin from one side of the bananas, and loosen it all around, but do not remove, and lay the fruit in a long baking- dish. Dust each one with sugar, and bake twenty minutes at a moderate heat. To make the sauce, mix a teaspoonful of cornstarch with a fourth of a cup of sugar. Heat the juice of three large oranges; add the sugar and corn-starch and cook until it thickens slightly. Potato Turnovers Mince very fine some cold roast beef, mut- ton. veal, or ham, or a mixture of two of them, removing all skin and gristle; season with salt, cayenne pepper, and a small quan- tity of chopped pickle. Mash some potatoes, and make them into a paste with a little flour and one or two beaten eggs. Dredge a little flour over this, and roll it out. Cut into rounds the size of a saucer. Put a little of the mince upon one-half of these rounds, and fold the other half over it. Pinch the edges neatly, and make up the rest of the pastry in the same way. Fry the turnovers in hot fat till they are lightly browned, drain them, and serve very hot. Time to fry: four or five minutes. Friend or Lover? Do girls know their own minds always? Alas! no. How often one tells a lover she esteems him as a friend, but can never think of him aa he desires! And how often she discovers her mistake— perhaps, too, when it is too late! He may go a way, and never know that she has found her right mind. He may woo another, with the memory of her who so lightly regarded him still in his heart. And, all unknowing of the love she bears him, he may marry some aid to whom he can never give his undi:id,,?d attentions. And she? Well, there are moments when the memory of him is painfully dear and sweet. She may give her hand to another, bat even the love she may bestow on the man who calls her wife cannot entirely crush the sweetness of that early love story. The Toast Cure I Many families that number dyspeptics among their members are now taking what might be termed the toast cure, toast being substituted for bread at every meal. In many cases the good results have been rapid. A woman who had almost despaired of ever being able to enjoy a good dinner again has been steadily improving, with fewer and I fewer attacks of indigestion, since her doctor ) recommended this simple experiment. How- ever, the toast made in the ordinary way, that is, soggy within and scorched outside, will not benefit. The bread must be thoroughly dried out in the oven before toast- ing, then brought to a golden brown. Per- haps more than one dyspeptic sufferer could trace the misery back to soggy bread. Even "second day bread" is not dry enough for a delicate stomach, and contrary to an erro- neous idea held by. many. toast (properly made) does not cause a sluggish state of the system or work any other evil How to Choose a Wife I A uerman scientist, who is also a talented musician, proposes to solve the difflcdlty some people seem to have in choosing a wife by trial by music." He suggests that the young woman under observation be given opportunities to hear the music of many of the greatest composers, and that the impres- sions of the various compositions upon her stould be carefully noted. If she prefers waits music, and, above all, Straass's intoxi- cating strains, she is certainly frivolous. If she loves Beethoven she is artistic, but not practical. Does she prefer Liszt?—then she ia ambi- tions; while a devotee of Mczart would be rather prudish. Why an admirer of Offen- bach should be cunning is not clear; but. remembering the opera of Faust," it is easy to understand that any girl preferring Gounod must be romantic and tender- hearted. It is hard on Flotow that, because his music is out of fashion, a taste for it denotes a vulgar soul; while Gottschalk fares little better, pleasing, according to the Ger- man scientist, only the superficial. Massenet is supposed to attract the timid; while a ievotion to Wagner's music is a distinct proof of egoiam.

ROMANCE OF CRIME.1
ROMANCE OF CRIME. 1 Escapades of a Wild I Irishman. I THIEF, BURGLAR, AND CHURCHBREAKER. Maurice Sheeban, who was captured in a public-house in Mitchelstown, County Cork, has made fame for himself in the South of Ireland since March, during which time whole i counties rang with stories of his exploits, real and imaginary. Charchbreal-er and house- breaker, the authentic record of his doings is startling enough. He was sentenced at Cork Assizes twelve months ago to five years' penal servitude for sacrilegious robberies in Mit- chelstown and Kanturk Catholic Churches. The police, who caught him in the dead of night in Kanturk Church, were nearly killed by Sheehan, a man of giant strength. He was confined in Dundrum Criminal Lunatic Asylum, near Dublin; and from this he escaped laat March—Sheehan now says by climbing through a roof-light in the building. After the escape, he says, he went to Cork, via Waterford, and spent eight weeks driving a coal cart in Cork city, his blackened face making an excellent disguise. He was a man of varied employments. During the early hours of the day on which he was caught he had sold six dozen of boiled eggs to the soldiers on the rifle ranges at Kilworth. The neighbouring farmers are trying to count up where the eggs were obtained. After this "t-ra,da," he bought a newspaper, adjourned to a public-house in Mitchelstown, and prepared to enjoy himself. But some money had been abstracted from an officer's tent at Kilworth the previous night, and the police were on the look-out. The two officers who burst in upon the desperado as he held a measure of porter to his lips were two whose evidence helped to ssnd him to penal servitude last March. Even as he drank they fell on him and put him in irons.
SINGULAR BIGAMY CASE I
SINGULAR BIGAMY CASE I At Walsall, yesterday, John Smith, of I Highfield House, Bubwith, Leeds, formerly a tailor in business at WaJsa-11, was summoned I for feloniously marrying one Emily Baldwin, of Lichfield-street, Walsall. in March, 1296, his real wife being then alive. Prosecutrix stated that she made the acquaintance of the defendant in March, 1896. when he represented to her that he was a widower. She had been married in 1876 to a man named John Brookes, of Gloucester, against whom in 1396 she obtained a decree nisi for a divorce, but the decree was never made absolute by the court, Brookes dying on May 11, 1896, whilst on board ship return- ing from South Africa. She went through the ceremony of marriage with defendant at Walsall on November 17, 1896, and lived with him until August IS last, when he was taken to Burntwood Lunatic Asylum. She then made inquiries, and ascertained that he had a wife living at Leeds. She saw him shortly before his discharge from the asylum, and when she told him of her discovery he did not dispute it. James Copley, moulder, of Bromley, Leeds, stated that he was present on October 11, 1873, in Leeds Parish Church, when defendant married Ann Bretherick, who was his (witness's) sister-in-law, and she was still living at Leeds. Frederick Smith, defendant's son, gave corroborative evidence as to his mother being alive. For the defence Walter Brookes, ship's carpenter, Gloucester, stated that he was brother to John Brookes, the first husband of the prosecutrix. It was untrue that his brother died at sea in 1896; he lived until May 5. 1901. when he died in a London hospital, and witness saw him on the day that he died. Witness remembered his mother receiving shortly afterwards a. letter from prosecutrix, which had been destroyed. The effect of it was that she had seen about the death of her late husband, and would be pleased to buy something in token of respect. if they would send word where he was buried. She mentioned that she had married a man named Smith, who had plenty of money. I, The Bench committed defendant to the assizes, but allowed bail.
ARE YOU SPRING "TIRED" PI
ARE YOU SPRING "TIRED" P I A DRESSMAKER S PECULIAR CASE. I The late Spring and early Summer brings a. good deal of languor and debility. House- wivee. whose opportunities for fresh air exercise are not eo great, come in for the biggest share of this distressing trouble; but the following story of a dressmaker's cure by Dr. Slater's blood tablets, which strengthened and enriched her whole system, contains a lesson for both sexes. The "Bristol Times and Mirror interviewed Miss Martha Sealey, of Lympsham, near Weston-super-Mare, who said:—For many years, usually in the late Spring, I used to feel terribly run-down and out-of-sorts without really knowing what ailed me. My appetite fell off, and I became pale, weak, and thin. All energy seemed to be taken from me. I could not sleep pro- perly, and what rest I did got didn't seem to refresh me in the least. I suffered a. lot from ulcerated stomach. I would get terribly low-spirited, apart from my sickness, and think it must have been through the seden- tary nature of my dressmaking. I never got proper exercise, and, accordingly, felt 'off colour.' Two doctors failed to cure me, and for six weeks I was at Weston-super-Mare Hospital. In March I had a severe illness, which left me, like many illnesses do, in a terrible state of depression. I was still fear- fully run-down, pale, and weak; so, upon reading an announcement about Dr. Slater's blood-making tablets, I bought a box, and felt much brighter and better in myself. I started a full course, using occasional doses of Dr. Slater's stomach pills—the white ones—with marked beneficial effects. The results con- tinued most satisfactory, and in a short while I felt stronger and better than I had done for years. I am highly pleased both with the blood making tablets and the stomach pills, and can heartily recommend them." Weak, weary women, and men worn out by daily anxiety and toil, find Dr. Slater's blood making tablets a powerful nerve tonic and restorative. They tone up the nerves, invigo- rate the brain, and fill the weakened system with rich, red blood. For anaemia, pale and sallow complexions, indigestion, palpitation, heart-weakness, neuralgia, rheumatism, gout, lumbago, wasting, the early stages of con- sumption, paralysis. locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, and spinal weakness Dr. Slater's blood making tablets stand unequalled. They may be had of all chemists, or direct from the Slater laboratories, Greek-street, Leeds, for two and nine per box, or large size eleven shillings (containing five times the quantity at the cost of four).

THE LOSS OF THE AREQUIPA I
THE LOSS OF THE AREQUIPA I Valparaiso, Friday.—The court of inquiry into the foundering of the British steamer Arequipa finds that the vessel should have put out to sea at one o'clock, but the order to steam was not given until two. Eighty persons were drowned, and no assistance was rendered by the port authorities or from the shore. The steamer was not overloaded, and the cargo was well stowed. The ship foun- dered owing to water getting into the hold through the starboard after-hatch, which was smashed about four o'clock, the water reach- ing the engine-room. Holes were also made in the stern by a buoy. When the engines were ready to work the ship was in a sinking condition, and it was not safe to go to sea. The court finds that there was no speaking- tube from the bridge, and draws the attention of the Board of Trade to the necessity of this precaution on all steamers.-Reuter.

I WARLEYGAPMURDER
WARLEYGAPMURDER Victim's Body Drained of Blood, SHOCKING DETAILS AT POLICE COURT HEARING. Bernard White, 22, a private in the 2nd j Essex Regiment, was again charged, on re- mand, at Brentwood Police-court yesterday with the murder of Maud Garrett at Warley Gap on May 22. A large crowd had collected at the railway station and at the police-court when White arrived, and at both places he had a hostile reception. Private Buck, who was on sentry duty from three to five o'clock on Saturday morning, May 25, said that at a quarter to five o'clock White came to him from behind the tents. He was wearing khaki trousers and brown canvas shoes. After witness had told him the time he saw him go over the stile into Barrack-road at a fast tret and then down a cart track in the direction of Helens Wood. Other witnesses gave evidence as to White's movements on May 22 and the following morn- ing. It was stated that it was not unusual for men to get up early and have a run round, especially if they were training, but White had never been seen out training in the early morning, but when seen at the wash-tub with others on the Saturday, and interrogated, he said; "I just had a run as far as the Gap and back again." The witness who discovered the body said that previously he saw a man running to- wards him in a "kind of grey suit." The man had light shoes or slippers, and turned back when he saw the witness. Dr. Arthur Quennell dweribed the injuries which had been inflicted on the young woman. Great violence must have been used. The marks on the face might have been produced by such a cane as that produced. The wound on White's finger was dry and nearly healed, and was not recent. The woman had been kicked several times, and subjected to repeated blows from a blunt instrument. Dr. A. J Pepper, of the Home Office, said that the body of the young woman was almost drained of blood. He found extensive stai 71 of blood on clothing handed to him for exami- nation, and an attempt had been made to remove some of it. There were stains on a towel which he had received. The cane handed to him had been recently splintered, and there were bloodstains on it. There was blood, also, on a metal ring with a blue stone and on a signet ring, received by him later with a handkerchief and socks, which were also bloodstained. He saw no bloodstains on the toes of the boots; those he found were caused, he thought, by the wearer stepping in blood. Those stains, as well as the blood on the cane, might have been removed by washing. White was once more remanded.

:SUMMONS AGAINST MR R SIEVIER
SUMMONS AGAINST MR R SIEVIER At Bow-street Police-court, London, yester- day afternoon, Robert Sievier, described as a horse trainer, of Shrewton, Wilts, appeared to a summons for assaulting Walter Ernest Blanchetta, manager of the Freemasons' Tavern. When the case was called on, a solicitor applied for an adjournment on behalf of the defendant, saying tht summons had only been served two days ago. Mr. Wil- son, who appeared in support of the sum-' mons, explained that there had been some difficulty in finding the defendant, as the address he had given was not exactly correct. and the summons was sent to Manchester for service. The terms of adjournment were ulti- mately agreed upon, and the application was granted. The defendant, addressing his solicitor, then said in a. loud voice, "You had no instructions to do that." and left the court.
ALLEGED FORGERSI
ALLEGED FORGERS I At Marlborough-street Police-court, Lon- don, yesterday, Arthur Williams, 64, com- mission agent; John Land, 65, cabinetmaker; Mary 3VIntyre, 49, married; Jane Elliott, 50, machinist, whose addresses were not given; and Robert Rutter, 69, commission agent, Lonsdale-mansions, Bromell's-road, Clapham, were again brouglit before Mr. Kennedy on charges of conspiracy and forgery. The facts given at the several previous hearings have been reported. It was shown that £543 was obtained by forgery from the a.coount of Mrs. Frances Williams, of Cornwall-gardens, and JE1,025 from the acoount of George Turner, com- mission agent, Cheater-terrace, Regent's-park. In the latter case three cheques were stolen in the post and forgeries substituted, the enve- lopes being carefully re-sealed and posted again. The genuine cheques, amounting to EI,053, were paid by the thieves into another account, and zEI,025 drawn before the robbery was discovered, as their ingenious method gave them 24 hours' start. Other cases, in which no money was obtained, were investi- gated.—The prisoners, who made no statement, were now formally committed to the Central Criminal Court.
PROPOSED AMALGAMATION OF -WELSH…
PROPOSED AMALGAMATION OF WELSH RAILWAYS A shareholder of' the Cambrian Railways Company has sent to his fellow-ehareholders a circular in which he suggests the amalga- mation of the Cambrian, the Neath and Brecon, and the Brecon and Merthyr Rail- ways. He points ont that if the three rail- ways were amalgamated the bulk of the enormous traffic from South Wales to West Wales health resorts would go by this route instead of going 60 miles further round by the Great Western Railway. The three lines would thus feed each other, and there would be economy in managerial and directorial expenses. In no other case had he known a railway which was a direct line between two great populations, and had the advantage of the lovely scenery of the Welsh coast, running for nearly half a. century without paying a dividend.

SEQUEL TO THE SHOWER OF GOLD CASE At Ifarlborough-street Police-court, Lon- don, yesterday, Frank Pettitt or Harwood, 29, a, commission agent, living at Belvedere- crescent, York-road, Lambeth, was charged on remand before Mr. Kennedy with being concerned with four other men now under- going sentence in breaking and entering pre- mises in Coach and Horses-yard, Burlington- street, in February last, and stealing cloth and other goods worth X400 belonging to Stulz, Binnie, and Co. He was further accused of breaking and entering 44, Undereliffe-road, Lewisham, on the 2nd inst., and stealing household articles worth £ 60, belonging to Mrs. E. M. Parkinson, and also breaking and entering the house of Arthur Pincott, 57, Nar- bonne-avenue, Clapham, and stealing pro- perty worth E30.-It was alleged that the pri- soner was one of the men concerned in the "Shower of gold" case, when one of the others, now in prison, on being captured threw away a handful of coins, which were scrambled for by the crowd that gathered. Property relating to the other cases was found in Pettitt's possession, and these accusations, were, therefore, brought against him.—Mrs. Pincott having given evidence as to the bur- glary at her residence. Detective Bowden mentioned that Pettitt was wearing a waist- coat stolen from that address when arrested.— A previous conviction for theft having been proved against the prisoner, he was com- mitted for trial.
A MYTHICAL ISLAND I
A MYTHICAL ISLAND I Oape Town, Friday.—The Gause expedition has duwipated the tradition of the existence of Termination Island, which is marked on the maps, the expedition passing over the alleged site of the island. Photographs were also taken around the site, the results showing no trace of land. The greatest cold experienced was 48deg. Reaumur below zero. Many members of the expedition suffered from frost- bites, and othera were snow-blinded for during the sleigh journeys. A food station was erected, and poles were left as indical, for other explorers to assist them to penetrate further south. It was thought that posnbly the Discovery Expedition might. by this means reaching King William's Land. The ice in which the Gauss was held was 30ft. in thick- ness, and the snow was from 30ft. to 40ft. deep. Dr. Eusenberger, who was one of the party which went to Kerqueen Island, died there.— Press Association Foreign Special.

The past season has been the most successful in the history of the club. the English and Lancashire Caps having been won, while the Manchester Cap is held jointly with Man- chester City. The report adds that the club's finances generally are in a satisfactory posi- tion, and the directors recommend a dividend of 5 per cent, on the paid up capital. The services of all last season's League players have been retained, with one exception, McEwan, who has gone to Luton. The financial statement shows total receipts of £ 7,557, including 26,695 receipts and L170, tra.nsfer fees. The expenditure included I players' wages, £ 3,472, and transfer fees, L410.

ON THE FOOT TRACK.
ON THE FOOT TRACK. Criticism of the Coal Exchange Walk. LOCAL WALKERS: JACK O'LEARY, OF CARDIFF. The winner of the Cardiff Coal Exchange walk turned up in a. rank outsider in the person of Roy Thomas. It was not altogether a. surprise that the race was won by a "dark horse," for, as I have before pointed out, there is always a good chance of the favourites being "downed" in a. contest of this kind. Young Thomas thoroughly de- served his win, which was a most popular one. He walked with good judgment through- out, and received valuable pacing from Cop- pock, who cracked up about four miles from home and made but little effort afterwards to get in the first bunch. Roy Thomas is a most unassuming and modest young man, and his victory last Saturday has not spoilt him in the least. I had a great fancy for Coppock in this race, and for the greater part of the distance it looked as if my confidence was J. O'LEARY. not mis-placed, but I am afraid the distance is a little too long for him; for a distance of about twenty miles I doubt whether Coppock has his equal in the district. I am afraid Cop- pock also made a great mistake by taking refreshments too near home, and to a man with a not altogether strong stomach it proved fatal. However, he is a good plucky athlete, and won the admiration of all by his determination. Theophilus, whom I men- tioned as a likely winner finished second, and had he used perhaps a little better judgment he might have more greatly worried Thomas at the finish. Athol Gibson, the favourite, finished no nearer than seventh, although I think he would have been nearer up if he had not also upset his stomach by taking refreshment too near home. He certainly looked in splendid condition and a perfect specimen of a walker, and was, I believe, trained under the able hands of Joe Wall. G. O. HaJlett, another outsider, finished third, and seemed very fresh at the finish. J. Wil- liams, whom I mentioned as a good outside chance was somewhat unlucky in the race, he was well up until about half-way, when I believe he was run into by a, cyclist and knocked out; he, nevertheless, finished eighteenth in just over the five hours. Cyclists should certainly be more careful, and not ride so close to the competitors. A word of praise is due to George Prior, who for his inches accomplished a very fine performance. Comparisons have been drawn between the result of the Stock Exchange walk and the Coal Exchange walk. Although the former took F. C. Matthews nearly five minutes longer, it is quite unfair to put th perform- ance against Roy Thomas's. For instance. Matthews bad a scorching day to oontend with, and was to a great extent hampered by the crowd on the route, whereas for the Coal Exchange walk the weather was cool and the arrangements made better. In addition to this the walkers had a strong breeze behind them, and without in any way disparaging Roy Thomas's good performance, I am bound to aay I consider Matthews to be the best of the two. It must be borne in mind that Matthews did not try to beat any time; he simply walked to beat his men, and was not pushed to any great extent, whereas the "Coal" walkers, besides trying to beat each other, also tried to beat the Stock Exchange time. I would not go as far as some to say Matthews (given a day like last Saturday) could do the distance in 4! hours, but I do think he would not be five minutes outside it. By the way, Boy Thomas first started his business career in a stockbroker's office with Mr. Thomas F. Pearson, of the Cardiff Stock Exchange. I have at different times given short sketches with photo of athletes who have made them- selves prominent on the running track, and a. considerable amount of interest was mani- fested in the articles, so I have concluded now that walking contests have become so popular to give brief brief accounts of the successes of any local "pede," provided I can be supplied with photos, &c. I shall, therefore, I be obliged if the friends or the walkers them- selves will send same to me, care of the Evening Express," at as early a, date as possible, so that I may go into the matter at once. This week I have as my subject one who has on many occasions in the past shown that he posseses both pace and stamina, and again as recently as Saturday week he demon- strated that he had lost none of his old-time form by winning the five miles walk at the Cardiff Hibernian Sports. It will be patent to those who have followed the various walk- ing contests of late with any interest that I refer to Jack O'Leary, of Cardiff. In giving a sketch of an athlete's career, it is usual to give particulars as to age, place of birth, &c., so I suppose I had better say at once that O'Leary is 29 years of age. and was born at Cardiff. I have not yet been supplied with information as to whether he started his pedestrian feats at once, but I have been assured that it was not long before he displayed to an admiring group the fact that he had a will of his own, and if he did not get exactly what he wanted at once, he would make determined efforts to secure same, and with the use of a lusty pair of lungs he generally "got there." It will be seen that even at an early age Jack showed the right sort of spirit, so that, really, it should have caused little or no surprise,' when later on he made determined attacks on the prize lists. Jack wanted the priaes, and, of course, meant to get them- He showed his decided taste for walking in his early schooldays, and I am sorry to say that, instead of paying attention to his tutor, would set off for a walk to Oowbridge or to coursing matches at Sully. This, no doubt, Was the outcome of his boyish admiration for the old ped. Sexton, who was at that time in the height of his fame, and O'Leary could be found every night down at the "Old Rink" watching him training. It appears in a little time Jack tried conclusions on the road with an "old time walker," by name Cliff, and so well did he shape that he was encouraged to enter the walking handicaps promoted by Mr. A. J. Davies at the old 'Quins Ground. O'Leary, however, had one serious fault. Although he liked going for the prizes, he had objections to training—it was hard work and no pay. On his first public appearance in a mile race he received 70 yards start from Tozer, of Bristol. A lad named Truelove, who was on 160 yards won, and O'Leary was second, the winner's time being 7min. 20sec. In this race O'Leary was obliged to walk in a pair of running pumps, with spikes, which he bor- rowed on the ground, having forgotten his own shoes. A week later, however, in another race in which Jones, of Cardiff, was the scratch man, OLeary, off 40 yards, won easily by his start in 7min. 25sec. At Bath, later on, he won in a mile walk, in which he received 90 yards from M. K. Forrester, who shortly before was well up in the English championship. Jack was second, Forreate  winning in 6min. 58sec. by 30 yards. Forres- tees w&4king in this rwe was oonsidered i ■ I questionable. After this O'Leary, who, as I have pointed out, had a decided disinclina.- tion to train, was not seen on the track until the Hibernian meeting, and then in winning the five miles in 47min. 44eec. showed very good walking. A word as to his style may not he out of place. He moves in a pretty upright posi- tion, swinging his arms well up to the point of the shoulder, swaying the body easily with his legs, thus getting' an easy hip action; keeps a perfectly straight knee, with a slight outward swing of the leg and just a percep- tible turn of the toe outward before com- I mencing another stride, so that he walks as near a straight line as Possible. O'Leary is anxious to try conclusions with Mr. Matthews, the winner of the Stock Exchange walk, and Mr. Roy Thomas, the winner of the "Coal" walk, but I am afraid these gentlemen will draw the line at matches, even if O'Leary were reinstated as an amateur. No doubt, O'Leary is a "class" walker, and with train- ing would have developed into a champion, but he works hard at the Docks as a coal- trimmer, which accounts, perhaps, for his disinclination to add to his labours. "Ped" writes suggesting that-now there is such a boom in "heel-and-toe" business, a very good meeting could be held at the Sophia Gardens. He thinks a "Foot Tourney" should be attended with success in every way, especially at this juncture, as there is a splendid track at the gardens for walking and running, and it also affords the specta- tors a good opportunity of watching the progress of the competitors. He is of opinion that if the idea was brought before the notice of the Stock Exchange and Coal Exchange committees a walking handicap could be arranged before the season ends amongst their members, with a few open events thrown in. The lollowing of the Docksmen alone would guarantee a good "gate," and chould ensure success. I quite agree with "Pcd," and I give the suggestion publicity through this column. I am obliged to "ped" for the suggestion in the first part of his letter, which I have handed to the editor for his consideration. ped" is quite right, and I am always glad to receive suggestions from my readers.
