NERVE-SHAKING CHEERS New York Monday—Messra. Ritchie and Park. the British representatives in the Davis Dup oom-petiticn, are by NO means satisfied with the conditions at Newport, where they suffered defeat by three matches to one, in the contests against Messrs. Wright and La,rner. Their chief grievance is in regard to the prolonged and nerve-shaking cheering and shouting which greeted any good piece of play by the Americans. While not question- ing the right of the spectators to give vent to their appreciation of the good things of the match, both Mr. Ritchie and Mr. Park state that they were greatly distracted at critical periods of the play, which at all times was very olo«e.—Central News.

LOST ON CLIFFS THE PREMIER'S DAUGHTER Found Unconscious I ANXIOUS MIDNIGHT SEARCH Much excitement was caused at Cruden Bay on Saturday evening, says the "Aberdeen Free Press," by the rumour that Miss Violet Asqnith. the Premier's daughter, had fallen over the cliffs near Slains Castle. She had rone for a walk alone the braes on Saturday afternoon, and walked to the north of the castle. She returned in time for dinner, but had forgotten a book she had been reading. She acquainted her maid, and said she would run and fetch the book and be ba,-k in a few minutes. Darkness fell, and she did not return, and the house party at Slains Castle became uneasy. A search was made, and a message despatched to the coastguard and the police. A party was organised, provided with rope. ladders, and lanterns. and worked till 11 p.m. without result. As the result of a remark by a young fisherman named Milne, who had seen the young lady reading on the cliffs from his boat in the bay in the afternoon at a distance from where the party were looking, a search was made in that direction. As the party approached they heard the barking of a dog, which ran towards them and then turned as the party followed. They found Misos Asquith lying unconscious, having fainted. She was carried home and a doctor eam- moned. °? fs surmised that the darkness of the lonely cliffs had got on the young S nerv?. and that a faint had come upon h?er. II Going On Well." _0 .L I Mr. Asquith replied as follows WHS morning W a telegram from a press agency, asking whether Miss Asquith was any the worse for her adventure:- Port Erroll, Monday—Many thanks. My daughter is goinig on well.-Arquith.

I Wolffe's Channel Swim I OBLIGED TO GIVE UP Within a J of a Mile of Fpench 1, Shore Jabez Wolffe. after making a magnificent attempt to 9wim the Channel, being in 'ho j water 14h. 55min.. had to give up when within a quarter of a mile of the French coast. He was taken out of the water to the west of Calais Pier, and returned to Dover by tug. Interviewed on arrival Wolffe said he was up again at serveu o'clock. feeling all right, except for a little stiffness. He was keenly disappointed at his failure, and confessed that he could not have gone another stroke owing to his muscles being contracted. It was his best swim, and the pace was hot. The two hours which took such a lot out of him were off Blanc Nez. A sharp tide was run- ning there, and Wolffe did not appear to make much headway. Asked if he was con- templating trying to swim the Channel again this year. Wolffe said he should very much like to, as he believed the end of September was the best time. Wolffe entered the water under Shakspeare Cliff at six minutes after six on Saturday morning, being accompanied by a tug, t-n board of which was Dr. Martin Flack. t't London Hospital Medical School, with a sup- ply of oxygen and apparatus. Striking 26 to the minute with his powerful overarm stroke. Wolne rapidly got away from .shore. Two miles were covered in the first two hours, and at eight o'clock the drift had only taken the ?owimmer in a lime with Dover Castle. The weather was ideal, the sea being like a lake. with not a breath of wind, and the tide was runniag very slack.

I COAT TAKEN IN MISTAKE I At Caj?C to-day G-ge Oot? (35), was ch&r?d with steading On overco&t. va?luMe £ 1, from Herbert &out. from the Exhibiuon- hall, Oathays Park, on the 17th inst. Mr. Harold Liloyd defended. Prceecntor is a waiter, and was en in the hall, and defendant has aJso been employed there. Rout in the afternoon hung the overcoat on a nail in the antd-room, and afterwards missed it. Detective Victor Kellett produced the article, which he found in prisoner's apart- ments at 17. Wellington-street. Charged with stealing it, accused made no reply. Mr Harold Lloyd's defence was that hie client took the coat by mistake, and instea,d of returning it, as he should have done, on the next day he delayed, fearing miscon- struction. Mr. Harold Lloyd further pleaded that Coles was the only support of a widowed mother. He was bound over under the First Offenders Act.

AN ELLEN TERRY OF TWO I A report comes across the Atlantic that I Doris Smith, of Chicago, two years old, is po forward with her education that ahe can already repeat from memory every line of the Merchant of Venioe," besides having mastered niaaly of the most difficult oomposi- tions in the English language. If this is the case, says a writer in "Woman's Life," it is clear that the children of the present genera- tion are a long way ahead of those of the past; for we read, in additTan to this case, vh/at a five-year-old boy named Mahieu, the son of a. councillor at Enghien, haB been fined £ A for using iiisultinc language towards a servant.

THE CHRYSANTHEMUM I In a time when centenaries seem to be the order of the day, it is onlyi just that the chrysanthemum should not be passed over in silence. It is just a century ago tb-ait the flower was first known in Burope. A Mar- seilles gentleman made a presentation of some plants to the Empress Josephine. The empress was delighted wikh the present, and in a short time the popularity of the flower was established. In November a show will be opened in Paris, which, it is stated, will sur- pass all previous exhibitions. ——

THE COTTON STRIKE 40,000 OPERATIVES IDLE Over 400 cotton mills in Lancashire are idle to-day, a.bout 40,000,000 spindles are wholly or partially stopped, over 50,000,000 of capital is bringing no returns, and at least 140,000 operatives are ou,t of work, and they are losing wages at the rate of £100,000 a. week. Briefly stated, these are the main features that present themselves at the bag-inning of the strike:- How long it will last no one can tell, but there is a. belief tha.t it will not be very protracted. The fact that the operatives themselves are not united, that the spinners ha-ve consented to a reduction, which cardrcom workers oppose, is held to indicate that the cardroom workers will take another ballot, and wiill come to terms. In the present glutted condition of tho markets a brief cessation from work would probably do good. The reelers, warpers, and winders, one of the minor organisations of the cotton opera- tives, held a meeting on Saturday afternoon, at which they decided that they could not make any further concession than that they have already offered, namely, that if the employers' application for a reduction of wages is postponed until January, and if at that time the state of trade warrants it. they will he prepared to accept a reduction. This branch of the cotton operatives probably numbers over 4,000, of whom nearly 2,000 ale employed at Oldham. The executive council of the Card-room workers' Amalgamation will be held at Man- chester to-dav. and subsequently a special meeting of all the representatives will be oalled. Vested in this meeting is the right of ordering another ballot to be taken on the employers5' proposal for enforcing a 5 per oent. reduction to come into force in January, on which issue the cardroom workers have not yet voted. A Bolton correspondent telegraphs that the look-out is not unanimous in the fine spin- ning mills. In Bolton fourteen mills opened their ga,t-es as usual this morning. The belong ohiefly to the non-federated owners, but some are owned by firms who are members of the Cotton Employers' Federa- tion.. The Cardroom Workers' Federation local secretary gta-tes that the situation is un- changed. No meeting has been arranged. I

In consideration, however, of t-h-e fact thait its closing would seriously affect the Hartlepool's, besides invOTUtg permanent S?y? other works at thefe towns, Sir Christopher has decided to make certain rC^nosale at a meeting of the men s repre- ?Sest be  on Wednesday, ?e 7th rrox. =

< FTCIFNTISTS HOAXED Applications for Reward from Cardiff I An extraordinary series of hoaxes have been perpetrated in Liverpool. They started last May, when members of the Students' Association attached to the Central Techni- cal Institute in Liverpool received what appeared to be one of the customary circu- La.rs announcing a field mocting on the following Saturday at Lydiate, a country place an hour's train journey from the city. A goodly number of mOmbere journeyed to the plaoe only to discover the whole thing was bogas. Since that event the perpetrator of the hoax has evidently been pursuing a settled policy of harassing the btudeuto Association in a edmilar mannor. Bogus meetings, leotures, and field rambles have been repeatedly announced by circulars sent by poet to the members. One day lately there came by post to the Technical Institute a letter making applica- tion for a reward of 56., and enclosing a printed form purporting to have been found inside a floating bottle picked up from the eea. At the foot of the form wae the follow- ing:- '0 Notice to Finder.—Any person finding this vessel will please fill in carefully the parti- culars required in the vacant places and forward the game on as early as possible to Hadvie Moore. Municipal Technical Schools, Byrom-streetj liverpool*. England. A reward of five shillings paid to eaoh finder 1 so doing." At first no notice was taken of the appli- cation for a reward, but day after day simi- lar forms and .applications came pouring in even from places as far off as Cardiff and Clevedon. The officials of the institute were for a time kept busy writing to the appli- cants that a hoax had been perpetrated.

STITCH, STITCH. STITCH, A widow, named Dennis, living at Wal- thamstow, was summoned at Stratford on Saturday for unlawfully detaining a Singer sewing machine. The machine was obtained on the hire system, the agreement being signed by the la-te husband; £5 4e. had been paid, and there was LS 16s. still due. The company would hold the machine for the woman tiM the balance was paid. Mrs. Dennis said she had arix children, four of whom were in the workhouse, and the I machine was the only thing she had to earn her living. Asked as to her earnings, she produced a book which showed amounts varying from 6s. to 10s. or lis. a week. &he made ohil- ren's pinafores, getting from lod. to ls. 4d. a dosscn for them.. She could do more than a dozen a day, but the Arm would not issue them. Mr. Tabrum: I should be very glad if you oould make some arrangement. It seems very hard to take the widow's machine after L5 4s. has bean paid. I think if the case was put before the manager he would make some arrangement for a small sum per week. (To representative of th ecompany): Are you the local manager?—Yes. Ur. Tabrum: Well, I am afraid you are not a very reasonable man. Eventua-lly an order was made for the return of the machine, to be held over 80 long as Mrs. Dennis paid a shilling a week off the balance.

THE WHITE OF EGG AS A FOOD A little knowiedige of physiological chemistry will show that is a mistake to give the yolk of an egg preference over the white. The nitrogenous parts of the egg contents are albumen and globulin, both easily digested and assimilarted. The fatty sub- stanoe which predominates in the yolk is mainly lecithin. This flat, while undergoing digestion, is partially converted into & poisonous product, oaJJed choline, which, under certain conditions, may become absorbed and give rise to biliousness." A writer in Healtth" has respeatedily found 1Ihø.t a pa-ti-ent made" bilious" by one whole egg, can take a dozen raw whites daily •without dAsoormtftture and greatly to his advantage. Icnfants will often do well on them whn dissolved (not beaten) in water, and a little sugar a<nd milk added. It should be remembered, however, that the egg globulin does not dissolve in the wa.ter, but is precipitated, and should be separated by straining.

COLD WATER V. HOT WATER A common practice it is to advise con- stipated patients to drink a glass of either cold or hot water daily before breakfast. Hemnaeter mciitious attention from cold water as a cause of constipation, and asserts tha.t it caninot be replaced by the use of hot waiter or other hot drinks. In his experience hot water increases the alreedy existing atony, because it establishes a condition of local intestinal liyperaemia which interferes with peristrJis, and is moreover more rapidly absorbed than a cold draught.

JEWISH STREET PROCESSIONS Aipmypos of the Soman Ca.tholic procession lasrt Sunday, the street proceff-ion is by no moaftw unknown to Jewisfli ceremony, though it has been abrogated in view of the atten- dant suffering off Jews a.t the hanlds of the OliriBtiau crowd in various parts of Europe. Probably, says the "Jewish Chronicle," no [religious coirniva-I can vie as to imposing features and festive abandonment with the old procession of the High Priest on the expi- mti,n of the Day of Atonement in the later days of the second Temple. Un till quite ireCesnt times the scrolls of the law were carried roun.d the eJwish quarter in Euro- pean towns.

I Money-lender's Death I BODY FOUND IN THE THAMES Another Mystery for Police to Solve. [SPECIAL TO THE 11 EVENING EXPRESS.") The police are aoti vely engaged in I endeavouring to solve the mystery surround- ing the death of William Charles Tagg, aged 60, a pensioner, from the Soatbwark and Yauxhall Waterworks, who lived at Avenue- road, Hampton, and whose body was found in the Thames, between Hampton and Suiiibury, on Saturday morning. Inquiries by a press representative elicited the information that the left home on Friday evening, telling his married dl&ugii'ter, with whom he lived, that he was going to Sun-bury to meet the women to whom he lent L40 some time ago. They were, he said, to re-p<ay him the money, and he was to return to them a quantity of jewellery, including several gold ringa, whi-oh they had left with bdm as, security, for the loan. He was seen to go along the lower road to gunbu-ry, but lie did not return, and about1 eight o'clock the following morning his bod* was found in the river by the side of the Sudbury-road. There was no jewellery in his pockets, an-'l only a few pence were found on him. His trousere pockets were turned inside out, and his watch was missing, but it was afterwards foumd in the river bed. Deceased often, spoke to his relatives about money-lending transaction, but no one ever heard him give the names of the men who he said wore indebted to him. neither had anyone ever seen the jewellery whioll he said he had in the house. The lower road to Sun bury runs by the river, and the bank is unprotected. There was a. fog in the district on Friday night. Although the police have followed up every cine in their possession, it is understood that as yet no light has been thrown on the affair. An inquest will be held on the body to- morrow.

Freshly Made Grave .0 A Child Secretly Buried I MERTHYR SENSATION A sensational story of a eeoret burial was reported from' Oefn Coed, near Merthyr, on Sunday. A beadle of the Jewish Cemetery, a ma.n named Max Harris, of 23, Treveccewrtreet, Merthyr. was going to the occictcry, which is situated in a very lonely spot on the road to Owmtaff, when he found the entrance gate open, with the lock thrown on the ground. Upon going to the tool-house he not-ioed the win- dow open and the door unbolted. looking over the burial-ground, he saw a fbly. niade grave, of which he previously had no cognisance, in a part where stillborn chil- dren a.re tKually interred. He reported the matter to the Jewish con- gregation at Merthyr, and OlD the 16th inst. information was given to Mr. Levinsbon, the President. Mr. Levinshon communicated with the ohief-oonetable and Superintendent Hands, with the result that Dr. Jones, of Senny- bridge, the coroner for the district, issued an exhumation order. In pursuance of this order, Sergtant Da,viea and Police-* xm- stable Richards on Saturday night, after the Jewish Sabbath had ended, opened tjbe grave, and took out a ooffin 32in. in length, evidently made by a carpenter. They carried it to the police-station, and upon being opened it was found to contain the decomposed body of a male child wrapped in white clothing. The tiny corpse had clearly been swathed by a. midwife or some other "expeneiloèa person. Dr. Flood a.nd Dr. Jamet made a post- mortem examination on Sunday afternoon. the conclusion being arrived at that the child possibly had no separate existence. The lungs had not been fully inflated, so that only a few breaths oould have been ta-ken. An inquest has been fixed for to-day at 3.30 p.m.

GENERAL LUARD'S FUNERAL In a heavy shower of rain the remains of Generai L-tuurd were removed froom B&rhain Court, Tesioni, this morning, to Ightham KnoLl to await interment this aftevnoont in Ightham Churchyard.

ROUGE ET NOIR Lord Roflstyn's roulette system was put to the teat. on Saturday with dummy money in a. private room in Piccadilly, and the result of the first day's play was that his lordship was a loser to the extent of 4,500 francs. Bis lorclabip.9 system is one of progressive stakes, and with it he claims that he can break the bank. His opponent is Sir Hiram Maxim, who maintains that no system, how- ever perfect, can win In the long run. There are to be in all 5.000 coups, a maximum of 500 a day. Besides Lord Roralyn and Sir Hiram there were present at the opening of the con- tent a stakeholder, a croupier, a.nd a reoord-taker. Play at th$outset favoured his lordship. His first one of the value of ten francs on blaok, and black won. The next- six coups he lost, but the eighth, the stake having progressed to forty francs, he won with red. The ndnth and tenth ooupe he aJao ?'.? for some time he contiMed to have tJ1e bœt .of the play. In the latter Mu-t of the game, however, when black predomi- nated, his lordship still called nothing. but red, with the result that has first run of good fortune suffered a severe reverse.

The formal presentation took place at a largely-attended meeting held at the Colliers' Arms, Mr. Morgan Morgan (sec- retary of the Pontypridu Waterworks) occu- pying the chair, and Mr. Jenkin L.

With- out a year's experience of the Act, oor, it wan impossible to tell exactly w-bot its effect would be upon Poor-law admiowtr*- tdoa.

I AWAKE AT LAST, 1 1 W.R.U.'S MOMENTOUS I MOVE Equality of Opportunity for all Teams LEADING SIDES TO BE TESTED In the "Footihall Express" on Saturday the following important article, from the pen of "Forward, dealing with the assistance to be given to smaller clubs by the Welsh Union, appeared exclusively Welsh Union members are alive to the necessity of something being done to make football more interesting, or to avoid the grewth of a fooling of indiffer- ence among the public, and they have virtually decided upon a scheme which will operate on the league system. This is aji important step in its pro- spective influence upon the future of the game in Wales, and an indication at the same time of a determination to combat and, if possible, to kill professionalism. I have no knowledge of the deitails of the scheme, but for the moment it is 8ufOODt to know that it does exist, and that it is the mtemtion of the Welsh Union to put it into working order by next season. The soul of the scheme, if I may use the term, is the creation of a more defi- nite competitive spirit in our amateur football. For some years paat there has been a kind of unofficial championship in Welsh rootbaJl in the sense that it (bIas only been reoagri,ised by the public a,nd not by the Welsh Union as the controlling body of the sport, and from the earliest days of the sport the fight for the honour has been mainly between Cardiff, Newport, an so a, Llanelly t and Neath. These were the teams which practically mono- pohsed the oompetift,ion for the old South Wales Oh alien ge Cup of blessed memory, and they have retained their position ever since as the five leading clubs. They have proved themselves f-ally worthy of the distinction they have enjoyed for so long but in the course of the last few years there has been a grow- ing recogniftio-n in the public mind of the just claims of other clubs to be adlmitted into the charmed circle. Aberavon, Pontypool, Pill Harriers, aJid Abertilfery, for instance, are the names which occur most readily to one's mind, and I am one of those who believe that, with proper encouragement from the parent autho- rity and with the assistance of the lead- ing clubs, they would soon prove them- selves worthy of elevation to the higher plane. That facl is now recognised by the Welsh Union, and they have made up their minds to give the emailer clubs a chance withooit harbouring any intention of disturbing the supremacy of the bigger clubs. The idaa oon-t-ained in the scheme is to induce the leading cioibs to gi ant a certain number of the smaller clubs 90 many matches in a season, and to admit the most successful of those clubs iitto what may be rightly described as the first division of Welsh football according to the relative merit of their Performances. The effect of thris will be that, instead of the area oif first-classism being restricted to Cardiff, Newport, Swansea, LLa,nelly, and Neath, it will be broadened so as to bring in two or three of the best of the smaller clubs, and these in due time will be officially recognised as first-class organisations. A proper and definite system of regis trabion of wins, draws, and losses will be adopted, and a table will be published every week showing the positions of the various cubs. 1,hwe a-re no cups, or medals, or trophies of any kind i«> be presented, it being considered enough to attain the object in view—to infuse the competitive element into Welsh football on intelligent and well-defined lines. I believe I am right in saying that the leading chibs by becoming parties to this arrangement will not run any sort, of risk of being dropped into the second division if perohiance they should strike on a lean season and lose more matches than they win. The object is purely one of levelling-up by giving the smaller clubs a helping hand, a.nd it is an object which, I believe, will receive the most cordial approval of every good sports- man. Not only will it conduce to the good of the individual clubs, but it must be of ultimate benefit to the national team, and helpful in the mai-n-tenamee of the preetige and sta-tus of Wales among the other nations. Our interna.tional players have been drafted in the past from clubs which can be counted on the fingers of one hand, but there is no reason wthy the number should not be doubled, nor why the smaller clubs should not have some share of the honour and glory of giving players of the right stamp to their coun-tryis service. The Welsh Union have wisely recog- nised that they would be unfaithful to their trust if they pLayed the part of fiddling Neros wh.ile the amateur oitadei which they liave been elected to protect and defend is being assailed by the pro- fessional hosts, and is in some danger, at any rate, of bemg damaged, il not destroyed. I am not going to discuss the ethics of pay for play as a principle in sport, nor to speculate upon what the future may have in store. I simply state an impor- tant fact of public intorecit-tjiat the Welsh Union are awa-ke and active in what is simply their plain and bounden duty of attempting something which will forter a better spiri-t in Welsh football, cement a stronger friendship between the bigger and the smaller dubs, and thus fortify the position of amateurism and juetify the existence of the Union as the governing authority of the sport. It is the hope that the co-operation of the big clubs will be of anoh a character as to make it possible for the scheme to take effect next season, and that no obstaoles will be placed in the way of attaining that very desirable end. It is a refresh ing change to feel constrained to congratulate the Welsh Union upon doing the right thing at the right moment.

How to Avoid Cholera I FAMOUS PROFESSOR'S ADVIOE Professor Metohnikoff, the eminent bac- teriologiet (says a Paria telegram), statee that' it is easier to prevent an attack of cholera than an ordinary cold. This re-aaeuring statement wae made on Saturday during an interview regarding the possibility of the present cholera epidemic in Russia extending lb France and other parts of Europe. Professor Metohnikoff says there ie nothing to fear, if the proper precautions are taken. These precautions arc exceedingly simple. Inasmuch as choiiera bacteria are destroyed at a temperature of 140deg. Fahrenheit, bodied water and hot food render persona practically immune. He advises the liberal use of hot water for washing and for rinsing the mouth, and scrupulous cleanliness with regard to clothing a.nd surroundings. If these condi- tions are compiled with, there ie no chance of cholera gaining a. foothold. Professor Metohnikoff spends the greater part of the time in his laboratory, sur- rounded by tubes containing oholera germe. He efen eats there, his meals consisting of hot tea and toast, placed side by ffide with the teat tubes. "This proves." he said to the interviewer, "that there is nothime to fear from oholera germe, if the aimple rules I have en-uirie- rat-ed are complied with." (

I Barry Labourer Killed I WHILST BOARDING A VESSEL I The quay side of Barry No. 1 dook was the scene of a painful and digressing fatality to-day. Samuel Martin, aged 32, labourer, of Burlington-street, Barry Dock, had occasion to board the ateamez HuxstcUbLe, lying under No. 17 tip. Whilst he was climbing the ladder at the ship's side a huge lump of coal crashed from the top of the tip on his head, inflioting shocking injuries and k-nooking the unfortunate man into the dook. He was immediately reeooed. btrt was already dead, and Dock-constable Harvey and others con- veyed the body to the town mortuary. Martin was a married man, employed at the Tyne Marine Engineering Works.

Mauretania in a Storm I ALARMING EXPERIENCES OF I PASSENGERS The Mauretania, which was delayed for a day off Sandy Hook through fog, dooked it New York at noon on Saturday, and the passengers told of thrilling experiences in a Storm last Thursday. About midday, when going at twenty knots in a hurriocne of eixty miles an hour, one the blades of the starboard propeller snapped. The engines stopped, the vessel swung broad- side to the seas, and big wevee washed over her. Bulkheads were immediately closed. making the ship tus watertight as possible. Fourteen stokers were buried under a pile of coaJ. The corridors and gangways vere Soon filled with terrified pacpengers, many in soanty attire. Mr. Griffiths, United States Oorwul at Liverpool, aa.id the shaking of the Ahip lasted two minutes. "The seneat-ion is indescribable. It was the strangest experience I ever bad at sea. The 6hip seemed to sway and shilke with a side- wise twist that was very startling. The pas- sengers aoted well, and were perfectly cool when the officers oame into the crowded I saloon to say that the danger wag post." Mr. John W. Gates said that the liner pounced up and down, while the shaft raced as if going to shake apart. The masts bent like willows, and several stays parted.

WORLD'S RECORD EQUALLED I One of the best performances at the London AIfJ. gala at Stamford Bridge was accom- plished by E. H. Montague in the 600 Yards Challenge Cup race. Montague was the holder of the trcjphy, and he started with the avowed intention of having a cut at record. Running with magnifioent judgment, he succeeded in knocking 2-Sooo. off E. C. Bredin's British amateur record. As a fact. his time, Imin. Usee., equalled world's record, and was 4-5eec. better then the previous "beet'' ever accomplished in that particular event. A. J. Robertson's attack on the thTee miles record in the inter-teSta race was doomed to failure from the start. Fine a runner ae is the Birchfleld Harrier, he is not good enough, making his own pace, to beat Shrubh's reoord of 14injn. 17 3-5sec. As it was, Robertson put in a splendid piece of rudning. He took the lead from the start, and won by nearly 60 yards in 14min. 54 4.. He com- pleted the first mile in 4min. 45 l-59ec„ and the second mile in 9min. SO 3-5see. Another Tery interesting event wac a 300 yards hurdlœ match, on the cinder t%.7, between L. A. Burton, Broughton H., and J. B. DenSlbam, of the promoting cinb. Burton gaimed the victory by three yards in 37 4-5aec. Shrubb'sChallenge to Marathon Winner! Alfred Shrubb, the English ex-champion and holder of many records, who is now on tour in America, where he continues his un- be-a,t-on reoord, and who if confident he could have won the Olympia Marathon Race, has now backed up his confidence by a sporting offer. Hayee, the winner, who has returned II to America, has turned professional. Shrubb has offered to run him three races of 10, 15, and 20. or 25 miles for C500.
