TERMS ARRANGED I Verdict for Plaintiff by Consent" GRAY GETS zE6,000 OR THE FARM. When the case of Nixon Gray v. John and Bees was called on this morning (before Mr. Justice Warrington) in the Chancery Divi- sion, Mr. Abel Thomas, K.C., asked his lordship to give them a little time to consider the matter. Counsel on either side then consulted their clients, and consulted with each other for about twenty minutes. A blue paper—which apparently contained terms of scttlement-waa frequently passed about, and at ten minutes to eleven Mr. Warmington, K.C., the leading counsel for the defence, asked for a few more minutes' grace. Ho then left the court with Mr. B. Francis- Williams, K.C., to consult his clients, taking the blue paper with him. Counsel returned in one minute and again consulted with Mr. Abel Thomas, K.C., and Mr. Rowden, K.C., the plaintiff's counsel. The coneuttation continued until just on eleven o'clock, when Mr. Abel Thomas, K.C., said: I am very pleased to say that your lordship will not be troubled any further with this case. My learned friends and I have agreed upon terms, and the terms are these:- That your lordship shall enter judgment for the plaintiff for Y,6,000 and costs, or, in the alternative at the plaintiff's option, for the farm free of mortgage, with coets. There will be one set of costs only payable by Mr. John. With regard to Bees, I may be allowed io say I have known him many years, and in much better circumstances, undoubtedly, than he is now. I am quite sure that inten- tionally he has never been guilty of fraud, and, therefore, on, my learned friend's agree- ing with me, we have agreed to Withdraw any Charge of Fraud I against Rees in. this matter. That will be a settlement of the matter. His Lordehip: Then, with regard to Eees, what happens? Mr. Warmington: Action dismissed. His Lordship: Without costs? Mr. Warmington and Mr. Thomas, together: Yes; without costa. Mr. Warmington: The option to be declared on Monday. Mr. Abel Thomas: Oh. no; within a week. Mr. Warmington: And it will be in satis- faction of all claims. Mr. Abel Thomas: Yes. His Lordship: I am quite sure you have taken a wise and prudent course. There is nothing, then, for me to do, as that is an agreed order. The case terminated accordingly, and his- lordship left the court. SUMMARYJDF JUDGMENT. The defendant John agreed to judgment ] for £ ,6000 and costs, or in alternative the return of Tynycoed Farm., free of mortgage and costs. I' All charges and imputations against Rees I withdrawn.

CZARINA'S SUPERSTITION I Resorts to Magic for a Male H eir A notable divergence from Imperial etiquette has juet been made by the Czarina in favour of Piotr Mnstuikin, known through- out three provinces as the Yogi of Yaroslav. Mustuikin has received from the Empress's private secretary a graceful letter of thanks for an amulet sent to her Majesty to ensure the birth of a male child. The Yogi," who is a priest, has for years past been in high repute for his alleged ability to determine the sex of children. His system is much simpler than Dr. Schenk's, aa it requires nothing but the wearing of an iron locket containing the Yogi's incanta- tion. This incantation, printed on goatskin, has been bought in thousands by women desiring male children, with, it is claimed, miraculous results. The incantation reads as follows-- Blue star shining in the south, red sun shining in the south, blue watoer flowing, blue air blowing, give light and moisture and fragance. That it be strong as a bear, swift as a swallow, beautiful as a leopard, cunning as a fox, wise as a serpent, bravo as a lion. "Squirrel in the woods, eagle in the air, sturgeon in the stream, salamander in uie fire, devonr your male young that my off. spring may be male." 1

BURNED BY A HOT-WATER BOTTLE Two nurses from the Oldham Nursing Asso- ciation, who were engaged to assist during two operations on a Mrs. Hall, are alleged to have been negligent in their treatment, and let their patient be severely burned by a hot-water bottle. Mrs. Hall sued the asso- dation for damages, and was awarded L300. But a successful appeal was made against this verdict in the High Court yesterday, on the grounds that the defend-ante were not responsible for the nurses' negligence. The Ma-ster of the Rolls held that the asso- ciation did not undertake to nuree, but to choose competent persons, and this they had carefully done.

Port Ai-iiiuil- lines JAPANESE PERISH IN! MASSES Attack Repulsed: Fearful Carnage. In a fight near Liao-yang the Japanese were repulsed, but General Kenneiikamph, who commanded the Russians, was wounded in the leg. Confirmation, is to hand of the success of the Russians at Port Arthur in staving off' the Japanese attack. The assailants lost heavily, hundreds being blown up by grounS mines, whilst the Russian casual- ties were 1,800.

I THE POHT ARTHUR FIGHT I Partial Confirmation of the I Reported Disaster I [Central Mewp Spcial Service.] I I ST. PETERSBURG, Friday. Telegraphing yesterday from Liao-yang, the special correspondent of the "Novce Ii Vremya" says:—'Hie joyful news has been received of unsuccessful attempts by the enemy to storm Port Arthur on July 10 and 11. The Japanese retreai-cd with enormous losses. In fact, they perished in great masses owing to the explosion of ground mines under their feet. General Fock pursued the Japanese as far as Mangaliu. The storming attacks were brilliantly repulsed. The Russian casualties were 1,800 killed and wounded. It is expected that this will. ooml Oku's army to retreat southward.. The correspondent adds that there is great animation in Liao-yang in consequence of the rapid circulation of the news of the Japanese reverse. The weather is described as favour- able to the movements of troops, despite the heat, which registers 100 degrees Fahr. The Japanese vanguard detachment is reported to be marching on the road to Muk- den. The state of mind of all at Ta-shih- kiao is solemn. There is only one thought in all men's minds, and that is that. there must be a battle very soon.

I- LIAO-YANG FIGHT I JAPANESE ROUTED: RUSSIAN GENERAL WOUNDED. I [Prees Association Special Service.] I ST. PETERSBURG, Friday. A telegram from Lieutenant-general Sa.k- haroff to the General Staff, dated July 15, says:- On the morning of July 13 a recon- naissance in force was made on our southern front in the valley of the River Tsintsakhe, a tributary on the right bank of the River Kantakhe, by a detachment under Colonel Lesch. In the Tsinteakhe Valley, near ziaton, six kilometres north-oas'i of Kai-cliau, our troops discovered two Japanese bivouacs of five or six batta- lions of infantry and five squadrons of cavalry. Cur artillery and riflemen forced the enemy to retreat in disorder towards the Kantakhe Valley and Hai-chau. A charge of several sotnias of Cossacks who were sent in pursuit of the Japanese was stopped by broken ground. At ten o'clock in the morn- ing a Japanese detachment, consisting of about two regiments of infantry, with artillery and six squadrons of cavalry, appeared on the Kai-chau road near the Tsintsakhe Valley. We had about ten soldiers wounded. Rus- sian cavalry scouts have eetablished that the nearest Japanese troops to us in the diirection of the shore road between Kai-chau and Ying-chow are near Sanhoyschi. A Russian patrol while approaching the extreme westerly point of Kai-chau heights exchanged shots with the Japanese, who were taking cover behind a wall, where they had crept nnperceived. We had four soldiers and four horses killed, and one soldier and three horses wounded. In the direction of Saima,tac and Liao- yang, twelve kilometres south of the Tillage of Mitzia, the screen of the Japanese advance guard, supported by Ohunchuses, was repulsed by part of our advance guard. The pass leading to the village of Fantsiaputse was found unoccupied, and the village itself was occupied by our troops. When our main forces ha-d gained the pags the Japanese made a vigorous attack against our right flank. Our mounted sappers and riflemen were thereupon thrown against the enemy's left flank and rear, and forced the Japazice6 to retire pre- cipitately. This affair began at 1.45 in the afternoon, and finished at half-past two. At the beginning of the fight General Rennenkampf sustained a bullet wound in the leg, but remained with his men. Captain Zederberg, of the Tver Dragoons, was killed. The wounded included Cos- sack-lieutenant Popovitsky, wounded in the head; Cossack-lieutenant Allassoff, severely wounded in the liver; and thir- teen Cossacks and riflemen, five of them severely. Eight horses were killed, and eleven wounded. THE DEFENCE OF LIAO-YANG [Central News Special Service.] PARIS, Friday. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Echo de Paris" gays that General Kuroki is advancing with three divisions towards Liao-yang. The Japanese and Russian forces came in contact near Sikh-jau, when the Rus- sians were compelled to retire. The Japanese apparently intend to concentrate between Hai- ehong and Liao-yang. and out the Russian I communications. General Kuropatkin now oocupies a position along the railway line from Liao-yang to Hai- cheng and Ta-shih-k'iao. In case of necessity the generalissimo will withdraw the troops at Ta-shi-kiao to Hai-cheng and retire to Liao- yang. There, in a well fortified position, he could await the Japanese attack. According to competent authorities this is the only plan open to General Kuropatkin. BATTLE NEAR TA-CHI-CHIAO I [Oentra! News Special gervies.1 PARIS, Saturday Morning. A Sit. Petersburg dispatch to the Petit Paxisien eays that a message from Ta-chi- chiao reports a. sanguinary engagement to the north-east. The "Petit Parieien's" correspondent adds that the medical service of the Russian army is inadequate. The troupe lack fresh provi- sions, and their health leaves much to be desired, scurvy claiming many victims. The same dispatch states thait the natives are beginning to make common cause With the Japanese. It i6 said that it was by Chinese information that the Japs were enabled to seize the Ta-ling-fen-chiu-ling, and Mandoling passes. HA-GHI-OHAO, Thursday. R-aporte have been received of the Japanese advancing movements, but no change is being made 'here in view of this information. A detachment which undertook- a recon- ^Kwiaeaiuce in the di^gcuoA of W returned, and only reports having seen Japanese batteries, which were fired at. According to statements made by Chinese who were met by the detachment, it appears that immediately after the taking of Watchen the Chinese who were suspected of being sympathetic to Russia because they could speak the language, were put to death by the Japanese.

RUSSIAN WARSHIPS To Call at Plymouth En Route for the East. [Press Association Special Service.] PARIS, Thursday. Admiral Rijetsvinske, in command of the Russian Pacific squadron, is reported by the Echo de Paris to have made the following statements to one of its representatives: I expect to be ready to start at the beginning of September. I have no intention of hiding myself. I shall sitart in broad daylight, and the squadron will stop at the needful places." Asked regarding the fear exhibited in Japan in regard to Germany's intention of violating neutrality by harbouring his squadron at Kiao-cbau, the admiral is represented to have said, And then, after all, if I want to stop at Kiao-cbau, who will prevent me? Ger- many's neutrality will not be viola;ted in any way vrhatever. We have the rig-hi to enter a.ll neutral ports where hospitality is extended to UD. Our first call will probably be at Kiel. We shall pass by the English coast, and we intend to Sltop 24 hours at Plymouth." Upon the representative exclaiming, "You will go and see the English, the friends a.nd allies of Japan?" "Why not?" the admiral is alleged to have said. "Tho English will receive us courteously, wiith no outburst, o'f enthusiasm, of course, but wiIth a very correct politeness I am sure. The commander-in-chief will send word to ask me at what time I usually lunch, and I shall go and have lunch with him, and all will pass off most correctly. Our itinerary will then be the Mediterranean, in which we shall stop at a Spanish port, Cartagena, and at an Italian one, probably Naples. We shall most likely not put into a French port, because it is better in the pretsent circumstances and so as to obviate any awkward incidents or comments which might rob this voyage of its real and sole character. Originally, I intended to stop at Brest or Cher- bourg, but, after some negotiations, it was agreed between Count Lamsdorff and M. Del- eA6-e that it was better in the present cir- cumstances to abstain. I think they right. If we are victorious nothing will prevent our paying you a visit on the return way."

GREAT ARTISTS MODESTY On one occasion, says the "Clarion," Mr. G. F. Watts, feeling that he was getting old, and fearing that his powers might be declining, aipked the selection and hanging committees of the Royal Academy to "judge his work severely, as he did not wish to disgrace the academy nor himself. He had Been so much deplorable work of eye and hand that he did I' not wish to be added to the number."

HANGED IN HIS SCALF I William Gale, a "handy man" at Hay's I Wha-rf, Tooley-street, London, went to the room in which an engine driver named Cook was working, and, noticing blood on the floor, looked up and saw Oook hanging by his scarf from some shafting. "Accidental death" was the verdict at yes- terday's inquest. It appeared that Oook had been drawn into the machinery by the ends of his scarf.

THREE CARD TRICK IN TRAMCAR At Newcastle James M'Nally pleaded guilty to having played the three card trick in a tra-mear. The Mayor of Newcastle was on the car at the time, and called a policeman after noticing the man's conduct. It was stated that the prisoner was a known thief and cardsharper. When arrested he had in his possession a "afish" L5 note, a penny with two heads, and a penny with two tails. He was sent to gaol for a, month.

I LA PORTE DISASTER REMAINDER OF THE CREW BEACH CARDIFF. Engineer's Graphic Story. Five officers and about half-a-dozen men, members of the crew of the Cc-,rdiff, stetmer La Porte, which foundered for an unexplained reason in the Atlantic, several hundred miles north of Capet-own, arrived at Southampton this morning on the Union Castle liner Kenil. worth Castle. The survivors were Martin W. Rowe, chief engineer; Robert Sutt, chief engineer; Horace Matthews, third engineer; Raymond, second officer; and the chambers steward, with half- a-dozen Greek seamen. Mr. Matthews, a native of Cardiff. in an interview with an "Evening Express" repre- sentative on landing from the liner, told an extraordinary tale of adventure. He it was who discovered a leak in the vessel's timbers which resulted in the wreck. Going below about ten o'clock on the morn- ing of the disaster, Mathews discovered to his horror 7ft. of Water in the Hold. The sea was entering the vessel at the rate of liin. an hour, and, though the whole crew exerted themselves to their utmost, the water gained upon the pumps, and at mid-day the car ''in decided to abandon the vessel. Two boats put off, one containing eleven and the other twelve men. Captain Hill, in charge of one, reached Port iXolloth without very great difficulty, bu the other boat, leaking badly, headed north, and eventually, after two days BuffettiNg with the Waves. rea.cher the coast of Africa. They did net land, however, as the beach was m-ere waste, but proceeded along the coast for 150 miles, and eventually reached an island, from which they crossed to the German settlement of Augvapequna. This was the base of the German expedition, and the crew oncountered many German troops. Eventually the yreached Cape Town, I and were sent home on the Cape liner. Th* men were exitremely weak upon arrival, and s-everal had to spend several days in hospital. During-the whole time they vere tn the boat, nearly five days, the crew lived upon sodden biscuit and two mouthfula of water daily. The crew reached Cardiff this morning by the 12.50 train from Northampton.

Young Wife's Crime ATTACKS HER HUSBAND WITH A KNIFE A sensational affair occurred yesterday morning in Gabriel-street, Honor Oak Park, S.E. Cries were h&ard at No. 29, and directly 9 and directly afterwards the occupier, a young man naned Leonard Raymond, employed as a billiai 1 marker at Peali's Rooms, Londofi Bridge, ran into the road in his dreseing-gown with blood flov.irg from a wound in his throat. While he hastened to a doctor's surgery the police and some neighbours entered the house. They found the bedroom door locked from the inside, and getting no answer to their knocks they burst it open. On entering the room they found Mrs. Raymond's child, aged two years, and Mrs. Raymond's sister, a girl about twelve years of age, were discovered un- harmed. Raymond, who was conveyed to Lewisham Infirmary, stated that his wife attacked him with a knife, and that she must have cut her own throat after he left her. Mystery surrounds the cause of the tragedy. Mrs. liaymond, who was under thirty years of age, had not appeared in good health recently, and it is rumoured that she had exhibited some jealousy, though, it is believed, without ground. Several letters in the woman's handwriting were found, but thfe nature of them is not known.

-=- -== MODERN ABRAHAM I Father Sacrifices His Son In the Russian town of Baku a man, named Iwan Asslamosow, has murdered his sou in response to a dream hallucination. Aselamosow suffered from a severe illness and one night he had a dream in which John the Baptist appeared, and was pro- mised full recovery if he would sacrifice his yet unborn son. Asslamosow took the oath, and his health improved so rapidly that in a short space of time he completely recovered. He had nearly recovered, when he felt that he must keep his word, so he took the newly- born child to the church, and after Mags cut its throat. He then hurried off to inform all his acquaintances. A-solamosow is now in a lunatic asylum.

FROM )NEBR)ATE HOME TO DOCK I A woman who was remaided on a charge of drunkenness at Brentford yesterday had been released from a home for inebriates only the day before. Referring to the case, Mr. Marshall, the court missionary, said that he and his col- leagues of the Metropolitan polioe-courts had a serious complaint to make aga-inst those responsible foT the conduct of such homes. Very frequently they failed to carry out the instructions of the Home Secretary to advise the missionary of the court from where persons were committed of the dis- charge of a-n inmate. The consequence was that the work of missionaries was obstructed. It was, he added, customary to supply these people with money on their leaving, and if they were not met and cared for they invariably wandered back to their old com- panions, and before many hours found them- selves in a police-station.

HIRWAIN COLLIERY STRIKE The fortnightly meeting of the men em. ployed at the Aberdare, Merthyr, and Tower Collieries, about 600 in number, who have been idle aoout ten months on amount of a dis- pute between the authorities of the Federa- tion council and the management, was held on Friday a.t Ramoth Vestry-room. At present the men have to depend on support from the Federation funds and from the neighbour- ing collieries. Mr. Thomas Richards, general secretary of the Central Federation, and Mr. Alfred Onions, hon. treasurer, attended to pay the men now on strike the sums of 10s. per week, 4s. per week district pay, and lis. 6d. for each child under thirteen years of age.

A DAY ON THE LINKS* H.B." INITIATED INTO THE MYSTERIES OF GOLF Special to the "Evening Express" The sun worked a turn and a half on Satur- day, and never wasted a ray. On the links at Ash bu rn ham it was doing its work un- commonly well. Golfisis went about in just as much clothing as the law demanded, and not a particle more. There were two of us on the look out for gol'flsts. Without much seeking we found three of the species, negligibly arrayed, starting their round. We had never been near real live golfers before, and it was with some trepidation that we asked if they allowed looking. Which they said they allowed easily. Further, we asked, Can we follow without interfering with you?" To which they replied, "Follow on." There were three of them. In order of height Jim Montgomery took first place, John Thomas second, and F. Hammond third—6ft., 6ft., and 5ft. odd would be about it. Their appendage was but 2ft. 2in. They explained that he was only one, because all the other caddie boys had gone to a Saturday Sunday School treat, and had thus proved their love of cake and tea immeasurably superior to that oi golf. They also knew about the sun, which shows their sense. The Lonely Little Caddie Boy tried his best to make the company forget the absence of the other caddie boys by working three times as hard for the prospective three times the pay. But he couldn't carry the three ssts of bags, nor had -he a memory Mg enough for fixing where the three balls strayed to. Whereat two of the three golfers perspired exceedingly, and one said things he apologised for immediately, just as though ladies were present. "We are now starting for No. 2," said Mr. Hammond, and he sneaked quietly to a biscuit box with thick iroa sides, and stole a fistful of sand. What's that for?" I asked. "Oh," returned he, readily, "this lump of sand that I place on the ground in the shape of a child's mud mountain two inches high iis called the tee. Now the ball is placed on that, so. Then I ta,ke my club and hit it as hard a<s I can towards No. 2 green." Where's that, please?" "Over in the direction of that flag. You mustn't expect to see every next green from the new starting point. We get used to know- ing the exact direction, but to a stranger it isn't clear. We ought to hole No. 2 in four strokes." Saying which he let fly. and the ball escaped far into space, making a double endeavour on its own half-way through. "Good stroke," said Montgomery. "Hear, hear," said John Thomas. "Short," responded Hammond. Montgomery sent off a stroke which showed energy but lacked perfect direction, and when he finished jolly Thomas unburdened himself thus: "Watch if I don't muddle this shot. I haven't practised for years, and can't under. stand why I slice my shots." Saying which he scooped up a pail of sand, fixed his tee, and propped his ball on the top. That done, he selected a dangerous-looking club, and, putting a large amount of will mixed with abundance of energy into the J hit, smacked the wee white one Slap into the Furze I "I thought so," he baritoned. "Now for a hunt." And hunt it was. All of us on the job. Worse than looking for a skylark's nest. "Ah, well!" at. length came the merry voice, "we won't worry. I'll drop a ball." Saying which again he called up the caddie, displaced a billl from the bag, and dropped it over his shoulder. We all found this ball easily enough, and, he having lost a stroke by reason of losing the ball and so being further behind, went on with the game. "How much does a ball cost, Mr. Ham- 1 mond?" "One shilling and fourpenoo new, times we get old ones re-made, then they cost less." "Was that a new one just lost?" "Yes." "So there's 1. 4d. gone for nothing, and on a hot day, too." The new ball promised well as it soared further than expected to the chorus of "Good stroke!" "I'll try the brassey for my next," said j Montgomery. j "Why the brassey?" | "Oh, the brassey sends a good long one. But where's my ball? Oh! here it is, in strong company." "What arte you moving there?" shouted Hammond. ) "Only some leaves and things." "Don't break the rules, you know." I "What is the rule?" demanded Jim. "The rule says that you can move anything dead, but nothing living." "Oh! this is dead right enough," said some- body; "but it's a pity they allow cows so much freedom." Just then a snort of triumph came from a hillock, and, looking up, we saw Thomas look glad. He had sliced half the bank away, and with it the bail. Once on the green, the putting commenced. "Putting" means the getting of the ball into an enlarged lobster-tin, buried in the centre of the green, and perforated for drainage. "Take up the flag, boy." The flag is an iron affair, like a long, thin miniature direction-post stuck at cross-roada. Its business is to give the number of the green. The greens at Ashburnham are generally of the size of a tennis court, and beautifully kept. No cricket pitch can give them points. The getting of the ball Into the Lobster Hole looks an extremely simple affair, and the first feeling is wonderment that strong mec could waste time fooling at the essay. But when you come to try it yourself, you are not quite so certain of what you thought about. The pesky ball rolls round the lip of the hole in such a way that you car bear the drop of the ball and not get it ecored. When the three players had holed it was found that they were all equal in strokes, allowing for a handicap. I asked who had won, and they all agreed that no one had. They had halved the hole between three. Not. understanding it, we believed. Then, there was more sand-scraping for the making of tees. No. 3 was a hole which Colonel Bogey, when in good spirits, always took five for. Mr. Thomas made an excellent start for thi-s-ii beautiful drive, long and clean, in splendid direction, and with an extension movement at the end of it. The smile of pride which he shared all round was beau- tiful to behold. His good example was fol- lowed by the others. The second strokes partially denied the first, for, except for Hammond's, the results were disastrous. Not that it was the etrikear's fault. One used the brassey when he folt sure he was making a mistake in doing so, while the other stuck to the iron when he was morally certain the brassey would have been better. And. again, it was only by the hardest of luck that a sand cave should have appeared at the very spot the ball struck. Now, sand has a way of. its own with golf balks, and does a great deal of jerking on its own account. Sandstorms at once became frequent, and the strokes taken exceeded the power of the memory to register them mentally, several being completely forgotlen. I should have said that to be sand-hilled is to be one kind of bunkered, and the word bunkered makes grit for the teeth of the go-abead golfer. But, although much sand was disturbed, it was really marvellous to find that when the balls were holed the game was all even again. j All rights of re-production of this Article, or any portion of it, reserved by Proprietors of the "Evening Express,"

The exe- cutive have succeeded in providing a card of considerable interest for the second stage of the proceedings. There will again be no lack of runners, and the already fair arrival list will receive plenty of support during the morning from the South Country stables. Several interesting events are on the card, but the most importance will be attached to the valuable National Breeders' Produce Stakes, of 5,000 govs, for two-year-olds. I CICERO, I who haa won all his four engagements, is I asked to concede 221b to some of his oppo- nents, but I will, nevertheless, anticipate his I success. My complete selections are as fol- j low:- Cobham Plate—ZANONT. Royal Handicap-IIAZAFI. National Breeders'—CICERO* Surrey Selling—JASON. Warren Handicap-MAZZAROTIL Coombe July Plate—VEIL. Double Event-CICEEO and VU-IL. MORNING GALLOPS. I The firet to come out on the course were I Seymour and Vril, and they were given a nice canter of five furlongs. St. Wulfrum and Grandiflora (looking in good fettle) were on the easy list. Laughter (going well) negoti- ated five furlongs, and a similar distance was covered by La Napoule. Cicero was on the easy list, looking fit and well. Salute and Kendal Green gelding were given a bout of walking and trotting exercise, as was Induc- tion. Jason-canter&d five furlongs, going in I good style, and the same remark applies to Full Cry. Aspiration was usefully employed. I Tatius (looking well) was on the walking list. Hasafi was went a useful canter of five fur- longs, and a similar distance was covered by Lady Cull at a steady rate. Beamish was given a bout of healthy exercise, as was Maz- zaroth (looking in grand fettle). Captain Kettle negotiated five furlongs, going well. Genius was only indulged in walking exercise, and the same remark applies to Vernham. I Lady Voter and Nelly H. were usefully em- ployed. Laurier (looking in grand fettle) was walking and trotting in the paddock. Zanoni (looking fresh and well) was similarly em- ployed.

SPORT OF THE DAY I The Derby and Oaks Stakes for 1906 are announced to close on Tuesday next. The assumed name of Mr. C. Lyihe" has been registered for 1904 in accordance with the Rules of Boeing. I Ae a result of Barley Dale's sucoeim 111 the Eclipse Stakes the Duke of Portland benefits to the extent of 469.285. It is to Mr. Hwfa. WïlliaJlls that belongs the credit of initiating the Eclipse Stakes, the first of the tcn-thonsand-pounders. According to the Racing Calender" Mr. Robert Cra,ig has given the name of Cauty Bay to the two-year-old colt by Sempronius— Certificate This evidently is meant for Ca-nty Bay, a place not so very far from Dunbar. The two-year-old filly by Gold-Evangeline broke loose while at exercise at Middleham a few days ago, and in her mad career sus- tained. severe injuries. She has conseqently been destroyed. This filly was owned by Mr. D. J. J ardine. Sir R. Waldie Griffith, whose colours have been amongst the most highly respected on the Turf, has decided to give up racing—at least for a time—and his stud will be sent up for sale in due course. Lord Dimraven is also said to be retiring.

I A BARGOED MYSTERY I Dead Man Found on the Roadside On Friday, whilst William Evans. of Gil- faoh, was proceeding down the Angel-road. situated midway between Bargoed and Gil- fach. he discovered a man dead. Polioe- constable Melhuish was immediately sum. moned, and after searching deceased's pockets found a ca,rd bearing the name of George Govts. Further inquiries at the Bargoed Pits showed thaat deceased had g-iven his address as 7, Wall apter-street, Cardiff-road, Cwmtil. lery, and had reported at the colliery that his last place of employment was at the Vic- toria Pit, Neath. He only came to the dis- triot last Friday. Deceased was about 24 years of age. The body was removed to the Hanbury Arms Hotel, Bargoed, to await an inquest.

WELSH EDUCATION BILL j In the House of Commons yesterday the Government Bill to remedy the default of Welsh local authorities in respect of the Education Act of 1902 passed the second reading. Among those who took part in the debate were Mr. Lloyd Morgan, Sir Alfred Thomas, Mr. Balfour, Sir H. Campbell- Bannerman, Mr. Lloyd-George, and Sir William Anson.

ENOWMENT OF UNIVERSITIES I Mr. Balfour yesterday, replying to a depu- tation, urging the question of the State endowment of universities, expressed his sympathy with the main object. The Chan- cellor of the Exchequer said the universities I must wait until the finances of the country I were in an easier condition.

A LONDON COMMON ABLAZE I Hayes Common, Bromley, a favourite reeort I of holiday makers, caught fire yesterday, and despite the efforts of a large force of police and firemen, practically the whole of the 300 acres of gorse were destroyed. The I specta-cle attracted hundreds of sightseers.

BOATING MYSTERY I A gentleman with a strong American accent, hired a punt on Saturday last at East Molesey and went up the river with a lady. On Monday he was seen in the same locality without the la-dy. On Tuesday the man's body was recovered from the river. On a pawnticket was George Sindall. 40, Stanley- road. Paddington," but it was sta.ted at the inquest yesterday that nothing was known of the man at that address. No money was found on the body. An open verdict was returned.

KEPT AT THE PUMPS I LLANELLY MEN COERCED Bt ITALIANS. A remarkable affair between Italian seamec and Llanelly men occurred on Friday. The barque Lazzaro, of Genoa, was entering Llanelly harbour when she grounded and sprung a leak. A party of men from the shore (including some from Llan- elly) put off to assist the Italians in keeping their vessel afloat, and worked hard with them at the pumps. After several hours' hard effort under a broiling sun the Llanelly men felt the need of refreshments, and desired to return to shore. 1 nfortu- nately, there were none of the crew whoo understood English, and a movement of the Llanelly men towards a boat seemed to have aroused the suspicions of the Italians that they were to be left to their own resources. In a moment the men were surrounded by th« crowd of angry seamen brandishing knives, and nothing that could be said pacified them. The Llanelly men were compelled to returr to the pumps, and were kept hard at worl till the evening, when they were permitted toe leave the ship.

CARDIFF WORKHOUSE SCANDAL Guardians' Inquiry Concluded I I The inquiry into the charges made by M imbecile girl inmate of the Cardiff Workhouse respecting a workman who had been engaged at the house took place on Friday at the workhouse. Mr. O. H. Jones, chairman of the board (for whose attendance the inquiry bad been adjourned), presided, and there were also present the Rev. J. R. Buckley (vice-chair- man) and Messrs. F. J. Beavan and W. S. Crossman. The inquiry lasted a considerable time. and the result will be made known tc the members of the board to-day (Saturday).
