Hocking, of Woodford Union Church, who did not appear, but a letter was read from him in which be said that he had declined to pay the sectarian rate.

SCHOOL BOARD'S END FINAL MEETING OF MEMBERS AT CARDIFF There was a sadness—the sadness of fare- well-perv-ading the board room of the Cardiff School Board on Thursday afternoon. Members had assembled together for the last time, and there was appropriateness in the presence of a Roman Catholic priest in the person of Father Hayde, and a Nonconformist minister in the Bev. John Morgan Jones at the burial service. The services of Dr. T. Wallace and Dr. Horder were not required. The attendance was email, there being only eight out of fifteen members present when the chairman (Mr. Lewis Williams) rose to deliver his valedictory address. Mr. Williams said that some of his friends had asked him if he was going to attend a funeral ceremony, but he had eot aside that notion. They were meeting together on busi- ness in connection with a highly-successful institution with which they had been associated for many years. It was an insti- tution with an up-to-date plant, admirably staffed, in a very high state of efficiency, and one which had obtained splendid results. They had met for the purpose of transferring that institution to a new authority-a new management. They could only hope that the results attained in the past would be far exceeded in years to come. They had. been under notice to quit for some time, and he believed the only reason alleged as their crime was their success. They had not been whining during that time, for they knew that their term of office would soon come to an end. They had honestly attempted to make the work as easy as possible for the new authority, and he waas not aware of anything they had left undone which they might have done. There was one feature that would be rather unique in the history of any board in the country. In addition to handing over their plant and concern they gave their valuable working capital, representing 114,350. He thought it would be wise for the new a.uthority to keep that amount intact for a few years. Dr. Horder: They could not do it, sir. The Chairman, continuing, said he would like to take the opportunity of publicly expressing the board's appreciation of the interest Mr. Legard had taken in the welfare of their schools since his appointment as chief inspector of schools for Wales. He had come to the district under somewhat adverse criticism, because he was not a Welshman, but no Welshman could have taken a keener interest in the schools of Wales than Mr. Legard had done. They were extremeiy pleased that the new authority had taken over the eerviem of their experienced clerk, whose. services they had valued eo highly, and who had always enjoyed their confidence. They were also pleased to know that they took over the services of Mr. Newberry and the other members of the staff. GARDEN PARTY AT ALSTON HOUSE. To celebrate the termination of the exis- tence of the board Mr. Lewis Williams invited the members and numerous friends to a garden party at his residence, Alston House, The Parade, on Thursday afternoon. The head teachers of the schools were also invited, the party altogether numbering nearly 100. An artistic musical entertain- ment was given in the drawing-room. The vocalists who assisted comprised Miss Jehnie Ellis (prize winner at Rhyl Eisteddfod), miss Alioe, Williams, and Mr. A. Ernest Jones. BEDWELLTY SCHOOL BOARD: FINAL MEETING. The final meeting of the Bedwellty School Board was held at Tredegar on Thursday.— The Chairman (Mr. J. D. Thomas) in his valedictory address claimed that the board had been a progressive body during its exis- tence of thirty-four years. He maintained that the change of system had not been called for by the people, but he believed that in Wales the new authorities would carry on the work as efficiently as was possible under the circumstances. Mr. Thomas congratulated Mr. C. Dauncey, the clerk, upon his appointment as educational expert to the county educa.- tion authority.—Speeches followed by other members.-The members and officials after- wards eat down to luncheon at the Castle Hotel. RUMNEY FARMER DROWNED IN A I POOL. A tragic drowning case is reported from Rumney, near Cardiff. At balf-paet six on Thursday the body of Mr. Thomas Herbert, occupying Trowbridge Fach Farm, was found in a pool of water in close proximity to his residence. Mr. Herbert was disoovered in a sitting position, with his head out of the water, and from the appearance of the body it is supposed that he had been there all night. The pool is about twenty yards from the door of the house, and it is surmised that deceased on returning home on Wednesday night fell backwardsnto the pond whilst in the act of entering by the gate. Deceased was 64 years of age, and had lived at the farm for about fifteen years. His wife and son resided at home with him.

Evan Harries (18). 69. Blaengarw-noad, Blaen- garw, was admitted to the Cardiff Infirmary on Thursday suffering from internal injuries as the rellultof an accident which occurred a few days ago. The injuries are not serious. Harries was employed at the-lutern-ational Ctolliery,

MISS DILLWYN AND SWAN- SEA HOSPITAL. Miss Dillwyc. interviewed as to the scene at the hospital meeting on Wednesday, gave her reasons for objecting to the incrcaee of trustees, and said:- "I am glad to sever my connection with the hospital, as I have for a, long time been getting more and more disgusted with its management. Almost since I have been there I have observed that when there are complaints they are investigated by the house committee, and they are hardly ever impartially investigated, because of the very strong inclination of the house com- mittee to shield everything connected with the hospital-sta,ff, officers, porters, and nurses. Another reason why I am dissatisfied is that all the laws and regulations of the board of management and house committee are written in sand."

Russians Punished In Retirement. SINGULAR BATTLE FORMATION. A correspondent with Kuroki's army reports that the Russian re- connaissance on the 19th inst. re- sulted in considerable fighting.

RUSSIANS PUNISHED A SMART ENGAGEMENT NEAR MUKDEN. [Press Association Special Service.] WITH GENERAL KUROKI'S ARMY, SEP- TEMBER 18. Via FU-SAN, September 22. A Russian reconnaissance yesterday- resulted in fighting until three o'clock in the afternoon when the enemy retired. They withdrew as usual in close formation, presenting a, splendid target to the Japanese. and lost more men in retirement than dur- ing the rest of fight. The Russian force consisted of four batta- lions of infantry and four squadrons of cavalry, with eight guns. The attack was made at a point on the Japanese right, thirty miles north-east of Liao-yang. A email force of the enemy took part in the engagement from the Mukden road. DISPATCH FROM KUROPATKIN I [Central News Special Service.] I PARIS, Friday. According to an Echo de Paris" telegram from St. Petersburg, a dispatch has been received from General Kuropatkin, dated Mukden, September 22, in which he states that the Japanese arc considerably strength- ening their advance posts, and that it seems to be the enemies' intention shortly to attack the Russian outlying positions. The general adds that he will take the initiative if he considers the circumstances advantageous. Dalin Pass Fighting I REPULSE OF THE JAPANESE ATTACKS I [Central News Special Service.] I ST. PETERSBURG, Thursday. General Kuropatkin telegraphs as followe to the Czar under yesterday's date:- As yet no changes are observable on the enemy's southern front. I Our detachment which is occupying the Dalin Pass was engaged in severe fighting on September 20. The enemy twice attacked our position there, but were repulsed everywhere with consider- a.ble loese-s. Vie took several prisoners, besides some arms and ammunition. Our losses were one officer and three men killed and 43 men wounded. The injuries of many of the latter were eo slight that they have already returned to their places in the ranks. BATTLE EXPECTED AT, I FU-SHAN. [Press Association Spccial Service.) I MUKDEN, Wednesday. A battle is expected hourly in the vicinity of Fu-ehan, thirty miles east of Mukden. At present^rail is quiet. The weather is turning oold. [Central News Special Servies.3 I PARIS, Thursday Afternoon. I The special correspondpnt of the "Temps," telegraphing from Mukden under yesterday's date, says that General Rennenkampf's divi- sion, which is on the extreme left flank, made a reconnaissance, and had an engagement "With the Japanese. There is a very large force of Japanese 33 versts south-east of Mukden, while other I Japanese forces are, apparently, marching eastwards, beyond Fouchoun, which is occupied by -Russian troops. They are also carrying out a turning movement on the Russian left flank through a mountainous district. All the Chinese inhabitants in the Mukden district are taking refuge in the city. ST. PETERSBURG, Thursday (3.45 p.m.). In the course of the engagement on Septem- ber 20, in which General Peterhof repulsed two Japanese attacks, he took several prisoners and captured a quantity of arms and ammunition. The Russians lost a captain and three men killed and 45 wounded. Several of these were able to resume their places in the ranks shortly afterwards. RUSSIAN LOSSES AT I LIAO-YANG. [Press Association Special Service.] I ST. PETERSBURG, Thursday. The General Staff has issued detailed lists of the Russian casualties at Liao-yang. The number of men killed is 1,810. Ten thousand eight hundred and eleven men were wounded, and 1,212 were left on the field. Of the regi- mental officers 54 were killed and 252 wounded. Two generals were killed and three generals wcunded. Five officers were left on the field. [Press Association Special Service.] I TOKIO. Thursday. General Okn has written an extended report on the operations at Liao-yang. In conclu- sion, he expresses the opinion that General Kuropatkin was determined to hold Liao- yang. his plan having been first to attack and defeat General Kuroki, and then assail the centre and left armies. He declares that the stubborn resistance which the Russians made at Liao-yang proves that their retreat was not pre-arranged. PORT ARTHUR'S SUPPLY OF WELSH COAL. Cardiff Cargo Transferred at a German Port. [Press Association Soecial Service. TSINa-TAU. Thursday. Several colliers have been here for the lasi ten days. It is believed that their cargo is intended for Port Arthur. The British collier Foxton Hall has trans- ferred her cargo of Cardiff coal to the German collier Erika. The local authorities would not allow the latter vessel to leave until an assurance had been given that she would not attempt to make Port Arthur. She sails at daybreak, and Japan is given as her destina- tion. The belief prevails. however, that she will ultimately proceed to Port Arthur, as the Russians are offering stupendous induce- ments for coal at the port. Mr. W. S. Davidson, an American, merchant who had a Russian coal contract, was ordered to leave Port Arthur on February 15. He is now at Tsing-tau, and has informed me that when he left there were lees than 200.000 tons of coal at Port Arthur. Owing to the fact that the Russian war- ships had had to keep up full steam day and night for nearly eight months, and to the enormous quantities of coal required for the water condensing plant, a coal famine must now be prevalent unless much coal had arrived. Mr. Davidson added that the Japanese had out the water supply some time ago. and the garrison had since been depending on con- densers. If there were a coal famine the town would be getting its water from impure native wells. SShsre v%s- ice for--the sia.nd wojmded. J Admiral Tatusevitch has left the hospital, and other wounded Russians here are making good progress. Most of the officers have left their ships and are living in hotels. The steamship Foxton Hall left Barry on July 27 with 6,000 tons of coal for Manila. The fact that this vessel's des- tination has been changed to Tsing- tau, a Gasman port, may indicate that the authorities have abandoned thoir intention of sailing the Baltic fleet for the Far East until the spring, and that the coal (or a portion of it) shipped for Manila has been diverted to other places. The change in the destination of this vessel supports the statement made in our columns recently, that in the cjuse of coal sold for the Russians vessels have gone to destinations other than those cleared for. It will to remem- bered that in the early days of the war the Foxton Hall was detained by the Russians at Port Arthur, compensation being subsequently paid to the owners and crew. I MORE DESPERATE FIGHTING I [Press Association Special Servlco.l TOKIO, Thursday (3.0 p.m.). Official confirmation is lacking, but it seems certain that the Japanese possess Kuro- patkin Fort and another height westward of Itz-shan, which they carried by a desperate assault. All attempts of the Russians to re-capture the positions were successfully resisted. Both heights overlook Port Arthur, and, being excellent gun positions, their possession will materially weaken the Russian defences. JAPANESE TIGHTENING THEIR GRIP. [Central News Special Service.] TOKIO, Thursday Evening, The Japanese attacking forces before Port Arthur are slowly, but surely, tightening their grip on the fortress. They have been in possession of three of the most important of the Russian outer forts since Monday. CRUISER TEREK REFUSED COAL AT LAS PALMAS. [Press Association Special Service.] LAS PALMAS, Thursday. The Russian auxiliary cruiser Terek began coaling here yesterday afternoon. At three o'clock this morning the authorities received instructions to prohibit supplies of coal, water,"and stores being sent on board. Work was at onoe suspended, and the Terek was ordered to leave this morning. [Press Association Special Service.] VIGO, Thursday. A British steamer has arrived here from New York with a cargo of coal for the Russian warships. An official of the Ham- burg-American Company is on board the British steamer Kirkwall, for which the Russian cruiser Don was supposed to be on the look-out.

INTERNATIONAL LAW REVI- SION. The Institute of International Law, the most important body of jurists in the world, commenced its annual conference in Edin- burgh on Thursday, under the presidency of Lord Reay. The conference, which lasts a week, is private, and is conducted in French. Sir Thomas Barclay, Paris, in a statement to the press, said that the institute was constituted of 60 members and 60 asso- ciates, and their principal business at this meeting would be the revision of the rules of arbitration and the con- sideration of the question of neutrality. Lord Reay delivered the opening address, and dealt with the questions of contraband and maritime law. Lord Alverstone was elected a member of the institute. He will not be present at the congress.

PRIMROSE LEAGUE EVENT. LARGE GATHERNG IN TREDEGAR PARK. A large gathering of the Hendre Habitation (joined by the Talbot, Pan- teg and Cranborne Habitations) of the Primrose League was held on Tfruro- day afternoon at Tredegar Park, by kind permission of Lord Tredegar. In a iarg*a marquee, where tea waa provided, there was a orowded gathering for a short programme of cpecohes. Lady Llanrattoel: prcsidod, and was supported by Lord Tredegar, Mr., Mrs., and Miss E. E. Michoile, Colonel D. B. Williams, &e. Lady U&ngaitock in opening the proceed- ings said the Primrose League had incrcarcd by leaps an-d bounds. (Heat, bear.) The Hendre Habitation had in the laat yeas- increased its membership by 100. But before long thoy would have another general clco. tion, aud she. therefore, exhorted the mem- bore of tho Primrose League to do their utmost in support of the present uovotr. ment, which had done so much to strengthen the Empire. Mr. Edward E. Mich oils, the prospective Unionist candidate for the Monmouth Boroughs, said the league now had 2,446 habitations, with membership of 1.M2.0CO. (Hear, hear.) Sdnoo 1900 there had boon M inorea-sa of membership of no less than 123,000. He believed that Mr. Chamberlain's policy was the right one- Boa felt that tho opportunity to help the Colonics might never come again. (E-ev-r, hear.) Lord Tredegar said that Mr. Lloyd-Gsorge was a Welsh Parnoll who was about to start an agitation through Wales which wan noting more nor less than a. revolution. He sometimes envied these gentlemen who wero passive resiaters—conscientious, paanlvo resie- ter&-aud wished ho were as good as they were. (Laughter.) It must, he thought, be very Bios to be so conceited that they thought they wore so much better than anyone else, and that they were the only people who had consciences at all. (Laughiter.) He thought if the non-payment of the eduoation rate was the only thing upon the oonsoiances of the passive resistors they were pretty ( lucky people. ("Hear, hear," and laughter,) A vote of thanks to tho speakers and of oonndenee in the Government WM propoied by Colonel D. E. WHIiams. seconded by Mr. F. Gardner, and supported by Mr, A. A. Wil. liams, which, having been carried, was acknowledged by Mr. Micholls, A large number of visitors wandered through the grounds, and after tea. a goodly number enjoyed dancing on the lawn before rain came on.

MR. GORDON LENOX. J.P. I INTERESTING PRESENTATION AT PONTYPRIDD. For some time past a movement has boon, I on foot at Pontypridd and in the locality generally to make a suitable presentation to Mr. L. Gordon Lenox, J.P. (Messrs. Brown, Lenox, and Co., Limited, the Chainworks, Pontypridd), as a recognition of the many services he has rendered to the town and district, politically and socially, on his retire- ment from public life. A committee was formed of which Major J. S. Daviee was chairman, and the secretaries Councillor William Jones and Mr. John Littlejohns, agent of the East Glamorgan Conservative Association. Subscriptions came in freely, and it was decided to purchase a motor-car, valued at £250, and to present an adiress with views of Ynysyngharad. with which die- triet Mr. Lenox had been so long and honourably associated. The presentation took place on Thursday afternoon on the lawn connected with the Gelliwaatad Institute, The esteem in which Mr. Lenox and his wife are held, was evi- denced is the representative nature of the gathering, those present including all shades of political opinion, Sir Alfred Thomas, M.P., County Councillor W. R. Davies, Major and Mrs. J. S. Davies, Mrs. and Miss Walter Morgan (Treforest), Oaptain R. A. Lewis, Dr. B. M. Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Gregory, Council- lore Hopkin Morgan and William Jones, the Rev. E. E. Probert (Oarmel Chapel), the Rev. James Thomas (St. Catherine's Church), Mr. Vyvyan Thomas, and Mr. John Littlejohns. After an al fresco tea. Sir Alfred Thomas made the presentation, paying a flattering tribute to Mr. Lenox, expressing the opinion that he thought he was a fixture at Ponty- pridd, and hoped that yet he would return. County Councillor W. R. Davies spoke in the highest terms cf Mr. Lenox and the good he had done to the town. Mr. Jones-Powell also spoke. Mr. Lenox returned thanks in a feeling speech. It is worthy of note that Mrs. Gordon ¡ Lenox was the initiator of the Pontypridd Branch of the Nursing Association, and it was mainly through her efforts that the Nurses* Homo was brought into .existence.

SCOTCH COAL CRISIS -0 THE SCOTCH SECRETARY AND "MABON" Statement made at Porth Contradicted. The Glasgow Herald" quot-ed a speech Paid to have been delivered by Mr. Abraham (" Mabon ") at Porth on Monday. Mr. Robert Baird, the coalowners' secretary, has addressed the following letter to the Heraid," which will be of interest as show- ing that the coal-masters and Mr. Abraham apparently rt-gard the result of the con- ference from different standpoints:- 53, Cothwell street, Glasgow, September 21. »ir,—with reference to your report of the speech of Mr. W. Abraham (" Mabon"), M.P., delivered at Porth (as reported in your' ipsue of yesterday), I have to state that in some respects the statement made by him (if he is correctly reported) as to what took place at the conference on Friday last, are misleading. It is not the case that "at the close of the confcrence an agreement was arrived at which meant that the Conelia- tion Board would continue, and that three months' notice would have to be given before it could be terminated. As a matter of fact, the board had not terminated, nor had notice of the termination been given by either side. It was only the wages agree- ment, as arranged by the board, that ter- minated on Saturday last, but the board, as originally constituted, remained subject to three months' notice. Then again, it is not accurate to say that "the minimum wage question, had, therefore been settled." All that was settled at the con- ference in question was that the minimum wage would not"be discussed at the approach- ing meeting of the board, that is, tha.t the question should be held over pending an attempt to arrive at a new wages agree- ment.—I am, &c., ROBERT BAIRD, Secretary. It may be as well to re-call what Mftbou I said at Port5i on Monday afternoon, After dealing with the question at some length he I remarked that at the close they found their way to an agreement. The Conciliation Board would live, and it would require three months' notice before it could be terminated, and a fortnight's notice after that before a reduction in wages could be effected. Then they agreed that the representa- tives of the Scotch mineowners and of the Scotch mine-workers should meet within the next fortnight to discuss and to endeavour to arrange a new agreement for the Scotch coalfield; but not before it was finally agreed that the question of reducing the present minimum wage was not to be within the limit of the discussion at all. By this means they had succeeded in localising the dispute, if any, to Scot- land. That, he considered, in itself would make for peace. A general strike would not affect Scotland more than it would affect somewhere else, but a local strike in Scot- land in the present condition of things would take away Scotch trade and fill trucks and cupboards elsewhere. This in itself would go far to prevent a. strike. (Applause.)

Scene in a Bedroom. I IMMORAL ALLEGATIONS AT CARDIFF. A painful case was heard at Cardiff Police- court on Thursday, when Albert Higgins. a pilot s assistant, who is living at the Waverley Restaurant, the Docks, applied to the magistrates that an order of separation made on September 18, 1902, that he should contribute 8s. a week to his wife's mainte- nance might be discharged on the ground of his wife's misconduct. Mr. Harold Lloyd appeared for the applicant. Mr. Lloyd, in his opening remarks, said that the parties were married some years ago. and lived together until the time of the order, which had been faithfully carried out by the husband. On February 3 of this year Mrs. Higgins was living in apartments at the house of Mrs. Attwell. Adelaide-street. She came to the house during the evening, and although it was her custom to le, Mrs. Attwell know when she arrived, on this occa- sion t'he landlady did not know she was in the house. About eight o'clock Mrs. Att- weSl'^ s rtieee went into the room, and mm" di-ateiy going down to her aunt made a com- plaint. The aunt came upstairs, and enter- ing the room ea.w Mrs. Hig-gins in bed with a man, while another man was sitting at the foot of the bed. On the bed also Mrs. Higgina's little boy, aged eight, was sitting. The landlady at once turned them out, and a. few days later Mrs. Higgins left altogether. The applicant gave evidence tbotit the order, and had barely finished before his wife began a, rapid and excited statement. He left me, sir, because he had a young girl of seventeen. He had a child by her in the workhouse, and he has not got money to keep two. Have you ever seen me with men? she asked Higgrkis.—" Yes, and drunk," was the answer. Then Mrs. Higgins turned to the magis- trates again. Mrs. Attwell (she said) had kept boarders without a licence. An inspec- tor came to the house, and so to disguise the fact that they were boarders the landlady pushed them into the room where she (Mrs. Kiggins) was in bed. Catherine Sweeney, the niece, gave evi- denoe. She denied that her aunt kept boarders, but admitted that these two men were often going in and out of our house." She had seen them with others drinking in Mrs. Higgins's room earlier in the evening. Mrs. Attwell gave evidence of the discovery of the men in the bedroom. She said that she went into the bedroom, and discovered James Carroll in bed with Mrs. Higgins, and James Dunn sitting on the foot of the bed. She asked Carroll what he meant by it, and he rap lied, Ob. nothing. I only want sleep." She first put Dunn out of the room, and caught Carroll by the neck and put him out also. She then asked Mrs. Higgins what this disgraceful conduct meant." The reply was, Oh, don't say anything about it." Mrs. Higgins left Mrs. Attwell on the 23rd of March. In reply to the defendant, Mrs. Attwell admitted that James Carroll was a boarder at her house, but Dunn was a man living in the next street. She stoutly denied that an inspector came that night, and that she acked Mrs. Higgins to let the two men go into her bedroom. The Bench decided that the order must be discharged.

SPORT OF THE DAY The Grand Prix de Paris of 1906 hag secured 443 entries. Pretty Polly will not compete in France next month unless Lane is able to ride her. All being well, Lord Rosebery's crack two- year-old Cicero is a certain starter for the Imperial Produce Stakes at Kempton Park on October 7. Charcot, the winner of two Johannesburg Handicaps, and beaten only by a short head in the third, is now en route for England. His owner, the Hon. F. White, is sending him to Mr. Lambton at Newmarket. Twenty-five years ago the custom, still followed in Belgium, of claiming horses in selling races prior to running was introduced in this country. On one occasion there was a. great deal of trouble through one of the late Lord Dupplin's, which had been put in for a. gamble, being claimed out of a juvenile stake at Newmarket. The custom soon lapsed. Mr. George Hodgman, well known in raeijig circles, completed his eightieth year yesterday. At one time Mr. Hodgman owned a large number of horses, and won most of the principal handicaps in the country. Emigrant won the Grand National as far back as 1857, Victor the Royal Hunt Cup in 1863, Verdant the Great Ebor Handicap in 1866, Paul Jones the Chester Cup in 1868, and Vestminster the Cambridgeshire in 1869. Fordham himself admitted that but for holding Formosa too cheaply in the St. Ledger he would have won the race for Mr. Hodgman on Paul Jones. Hodgy." as he is familiarly known, was present at the Pontrefract meeting, looking as well and hearty as ever, a.nd thinks nothing of walk. ing seven or eight anilew to a race meeting at the preeettfc time. J

THE WELSH REVOLT -0 UNSUSPECTED POWERS OF MR. MORANT. A Welsh correspondent, writing to the "Times" on "Weak Points in the Plan of O,tmpaign," says:-It has always been Mr. Lloyd-George's boast that Wales, by adopting his plan of campaign, will "paralyse the Board of Education." The scheme as origi- nally contemplated involved the casting upon the Board of Education of the whole responsibility (1) of administering the Edu- cation Act of 1902 and (2) of maintaining not merely the voluntary or non-provided schools, but all the public elementary schools within the given area. It was thought that the resources of the Board of Education would prove insufficient to enable it to cope with either of these duties, and that as a result Mr. Morant would himself soon prove more palpably in default" than any of the proclaimed councils." Speaking of the work of administration the writer says:—"There is nothing to pre- vent Air. Morant from opening a branch office of the Education Department at, say, Carnarvon, or Cardiff, or any other town or towns in Wales. Assume for a moment that Mr. Lloyd-George's own county of Carnarvon chooses to make itself a proclaimed area. A Board of Education branch office might be opened at Carnarvon, the officer in charge of which, assisted by such staff of clerks as might be necessary, could undertake all the administration work required within the county. The salaries and other accounts would be paid from that branch office just as they now are from the central education office of the county. The only essential diffe- rence would be that the duties of adminis- tration now performed by Mr. Evan R. Davies on behalf of the education committee would then be discharged by a resident official on behalf of the Board of Education—and one is not at all sure that everybody in the county would regret the change. There would not, therefore, be that paralysis of the purely administrative side of education which Mr. Lloyd-George's followers have been accustomed to believe. MONEY FOR COUNCIL SCHOOLS. When we come to consider even the financial side of the question the Welsh position is far from being so invulnerable as it has been represented. The Defaulting Authorities Act is bad on the assumption that all the Government grants earned by every elementary school within a proclaimed area. would be available for the maintenance of only such school-s-lesg than half the total number-as the rebellious councils have hitherto refused rate aid to maintain. Mr. Lloyd-George's plan of campaign has proved the Act in this respect to have been based on a wrong assumption. On the other hand, Mr. Lloyd-George's plan of campaign as origin- ally understood was based on the assumption (a) that he could compel Mr. Morant to main- tain all the schools of the county, provided as well as non-provided, and (b) that the Government grant, which would be more than sufficient to maintain at a high stan- dard of efficiency all the Church schools, would prove absurdly inadequate for the maintenance of all the schools which would be thrown on his hands. Mr. Morant is in a position to prove to demonstration that these assumptions are purely gratuitous.. THE POLICY OF STARVATION. I Som,3 clerical critics of the plan of cam. paign have gratuitously assumed that Mr. Lloyd-George proposes that the new chapel schools shall be public elementary schools within the meaning of the Act. If they were so, then Mr. Morant would possess—(i) the right of veto upon the buildings in which the schools would be held, few of which would come up to Code standard require- ments; and (ii) a lien upon the grants earned which he could use for the maintenance of the boycotted Church schools. Neither of these would suit Mr. Lloyd-George'a book. His evident intention is to starve the Church into submission. He cannot do this while Nonconformist children bring grist to the Church mill by earning grants which Mr. Morant can confiscate for Church school pur- poses. Thus it follows that the Lloyd-George- Stead scheme contemplates the drying-up of all available sources of income, a stoppage of all supplies, accompanied by a stoppage of all expenditure by the councils, effected I by wholesale notices of dismissal to the teachers."

MNE: LMESI.  I-s i • t. MANCHESTER. Starters and Selections MANCHESTER, Friday Morning. The attendance yesterday at Folkestone was moderate, and sport was only fair; nor is this to be wondered at seeing the d h. h vicissitudes to which regular racegoers have lately been subjected in travelling up and down country. In the Juvenile Selling, Egyptian Beauty declined the encounter, and, in her absence, the race was voted good for her deputy, Aldbourne filly, but she only scrambled home by a short head from Bensatia, whom Trigg rode with characteristic vigour. Simons- town showed her liking for the gradients by carrying off the Moderate Plate, and Ruanbeg, third to Mr. Craven's filly in August, went one better to-day and filled second place. He was in receipt of 41b. from the winner on each occasion, and is quite a stone her inferior. The racing- like Blow filly carried his colours to victory in the Romsey Handicap, but it was a very close thing between Emma gelding, Bibury, and Decave for second place, only a head and a short head sepa- rating the trio. Another close finish was that for the Sandling Plate, in which Kitty Tar was somewhat unlucky in being second to Rapt. Intaglio pulled off the last race for Mr. W. R. Clarke, which concluded the programme. To-day and to-morrow (Saturday) the most important meeting of the week takes place fit Man- chester, and, if the weather prophets are correct, the weather is likely to hold up until the completion of the meeting. The first batch of arrivals are fairly numerous, and, as usual, will bo added to during the day. The principal Event on the card is the Lancaster Nursery of 1,000 sovs., over five furlongs, in which some smart two- year-olds are engaged. Amongst thos? greatly fancied by their connections are Post Karte, Amalgamation, Wauken- phast, the Irish colt Velocity, La Chiripa, and Reggio. Post Karte will be ridden by E. Wheatley. Last time out lie carried 7st. 131b., and was not in the first eight behind Kuroki, Bibiani, and Carrelet in the Prince of Wales Nursery at Don- caster, but to-day I think his chance a good one for a place. For the actual winner, though. I turn to LADY HONORA, I who will be ridden by J. H. Martin, with 9st. up. The Lady has shown brilliant form this season, having won six races out of nine, the last five in succession. Last time out she cantered 81tay from Amy- ChêP. and Cosette in the Cliftonville Plate at Brighton, and previous to that gave Amalgamation and Nirvanah 191b. and an easy three-parts of a length beating st Liverpool, while the previous day the had given Reggio 91b; and aFybaclbeating.
