Sunk in a Fog. PASSENGERS' PERILOUS EXPERIENCES. Thrilling Stories. LADY LOSES 16,000 WORTH OF JEWELS. The closing days of the holiday season of 1908 have been marked by a disaster which occurred in a dense fog in the English Channel early on Tuesday morning to the well-known steam passenger yacht Argonaut, which, after being in collision with the steamer Kingswell, sank off Dungeness. The disaster was, happily, unattended by any loss of life—a fact the news of which was received with feelings of great relief by the friends of the 231 peisooe on board at the time. This fortunate circumstance is, doubtless, attributable to the fact that, although the Channel was enshrouded in fog when the collision occurred, the eea was calm, and little difficulty wae experienced in getting out the boats, and in ultimately conveying all the passengers and crew to Dover. That, port was not, however, reached until the afternoon, several hours after the collision, and the experiences of the wrecked tourists ere they at last set foot once more on terra firms were not without their moments of anxiety, as is shown by the interviews which are appended. The Argonaut, which was one of the best known of the steam-yaehts engaged in the passenger service, was owned by the Co-opera- tive Cruising Company, London, of which Dr. Lunn is the secretary. She left London on Monday night for a crniae to the Mediter- ranean, carrying 113 passengers and the crew. The first news that anything had occurred to mar the enjoyment of those on board arrived in London on Tuesday afternoon in the shaqe of a message from Dover, which stated that a thick fog prevailed in the Channel, and that a steamer which at the time was seen making for Dover was towing several life- boats with sailors in them, who had, appa- rently, been rescued from a large vessel sup- posed to have been in collision. Shortly afterwards Lloyd's agent at Dover telegraphed: Steamer Southmoor, of London, arrived in harbour with three ship's boats in tow. with a number of passengers on board, apparently from steam yaocht Argonaut, sunk by collision with unknown vessel between Dover and Dungeness. This intelligence was in turn supplemented by later telegrams, which stated that "he Argonaut came into collision at 8.30 on Tues- day morning off Dungeness with the steamer Kingswell, of Newcastle, loaded with iron ore, and had to be abandoned in a sinking condi- tion off Dungeness, where the Kingswell was later reported as being beached. After tho collision the Argonaut's crew lowered their boats, and all the passengers and orew were safely transferred to the Kingewell. The scene of the disaster, however, was some twenty miles distant from Dungenees, and the Kingswell was leaky. It was deemed advisable that a return to the lifeboats should be made, and that these should be taken in tow. Later the steamer Southmoor was met with, and with her help all were brought in safety to Dover, whence they pro- ceeded to London by special train. The Argonaut was a famous pleasure steamer which made frequent cruises to the Mediterranean, and on the present occasion she was bound to Lisbon, Gibraltar, and Marseilles. She was built in 1879, and was of 3,274 tons register. LADY'S GREAT LOSS. Another report states :-The Argonaut, a smart and handsomely-equipped vessel. left Tilbury Dock on Monday evening on an eighteen days' cruise, under the direction of Dr. Lunn. The passengers, practically all of whom were people of good social standing, numbered 140, and there was a crew of over a hundred. In the c^rly hours of Tuesday morning, shortly after leaving the estuary of the Thames, the Argonaut ran into a thick fog, and was obliged to Proceed „at a very; slow rate. At half-past eight in the morning, when she was twenty miles off Dungeness, the Kingswell suddenly loomed out of the fog, and before anything could be done to avert dasaster crashed into the Argonaut's bows, tearing a great hole in her below the waterliae. Oaptein Reed- ham, who was on the bridge of the Argo- naut at the time, immediately recognised .bat his vessel was doomed, but although a Terrible responsibility rested on his shoul- ders, he maintained the most perfect calm-, less and presence of mind. In an even roice he gave prompt orders for the lower- ing of the boats, and the crew, as cool and collected as their chief, carried out the direction without the slightest disorder, There was no panic. Most of the passengers were at breakfast at the time, whilst others were still in their cabins. All were speedily got on deck, having snatched as many 3f their belongings as they could conveniently carry, and were placed in the boats, which were then lowered, and rowed in the direc- tion of the Kingswell. The passengers having all been safely taken off, the crew followed. and within thirty minutes the Argonaut settled down and dis- appeared. The shipwrecked passengers and crew, numbering all told about 270, were landed at Dover at about four o clock, after having experienced close upon eight hours of great discomfort and peril. The crew of the Argonaut, it is reported, lost the whole ol their effects, and although some of the passengers managed to save a portion of their belongings, the majority of them lost all except the clothes which they were wear- ing. One lady passenger is reported to have lost jewels worth £ 6,000. It appears that there were seven pet cats on board the Argonaut, and several of the crew seemed greatly concerned at having been unable to save any of them. The second officer of the yacht, Mr. W. H. Storm, was the only member of the crew who sustained personal injury. During the opera- tion of lowering the boats after the collision a ladder fell on his head, and he sustained several bruises and cuts to his face. When Mr. Storm reacbed Charing Cross at night his face "s almost hidden with bandages. SURVIVORS' STATEMENTS I A throng of press representatives awaited the arrival at Charing Oroas Station of the special train which brought the survivors from Dover. It arrived at half-past seven o'clock, and the utmost anxiety wae at once shown to obtain narratives from those who had so recently undergone deadly peril. 'Several of the survivors readily g-ave an account of their startling adventure. Mr. Edward Lunn, brother of Dr- Lunn. gaad that the collision ooourred at twenty minutes to Sine o'clock that morning. There was at the time a calm sea. but a dense fog prevailed. "A short time before the disaster occu.rred," the narrator continued, "we had seen a vessel advancing in our direction, but no one seemed to anticipate a collision until it took place. The vessel was the Kingswell, of New- castle, which was loaded with ore. She struck our yacht forward on the starboard side, and the shock was, of couxee. violent as well as sadden. Our bugle had sounded for breakfast, and most of our passengers had gone down to the saloon for that meal. "At first we did not, perhaps, fully realise the extent of the damage, not being at the moment aware to what extent the Argonaut had been injured under the water-line; but we were not left long in doubt on that point. The collision had smashed in the chief I offioer's cabin, dxd water got imto our vessel in increasing quantity. The passengers were advised to keep oaJm. and get ready to go on board our boats, which they did without. Panic. Our boat* were at once lowered I without P* hitch and in about three-quarters of an hour ail the passengers and crew had i been put in them without further accident. The Kingswell had in the meantime become detached from ne, but stood by, and even- tually took our people on board- Soon, however, the captain of the Kings- well feared for the safety of his own disabled vessel, and advteeti the survivors to take to the boats again. The Kingswell then took all the small boats in tow, with separate ropes, and then, in reaponee to danger sig- n,a.HI, an answer came from another vessel, the Southzrioor, a London tramp, which ortly hove in sight, to our great relief. The oouthmoor took us all on board.

We were treated by our rescuers with the utmost kindness, which in same measure atoned for the disastrous check upcm what would have been a pleasant cruise." Yr. La/wrence, the purser, gave an account which in its main features corresponded with the particulars already given. He added that when they left the Argonaut'she was already sinking, and water was also getting into the Ki-ngewetl, which, had her bows smashed in. Adrift in the Fog. I Dr. Alfred Callaghan, secretary of the City of Dublin Steam Packet Company, said:— We were sitting down to hreakfaat when there was a violent impact on the starboard bow. Everyone stood up in alarm, but there was no shrieking. Like the others, I hurried up on deck to see what was wrong. We were at first told that it was nothing serious, but on looking over the side I could see that our plates were indented, and the Kingswell was near with her bows badly damaged. Some of us were told tha.t we might go down and finish our break- fast, but any who did return to the saloon, eitihtft- for that pur- pose or more prcbdbly to collect some of their property, were advised by the chief purser to return at once to the deck and prepare for emergencies. The boats were then being lowered, and we all got on board without disorder. Before we went off I felt a downward movement of the Argonaut, the bows getting down to the water level. The discipline on board was admirable. After getting on board the small boats we drifted about for some time in the fog, and at that time we could not see the Kingswell, but eventually we were taken on board that vessel, and remained there until it was no longer considered safe, when we returned to the boats. The foghorn of the Kingswell was meantime sounding an alarm, and ere long a.n answer came from the Sottthmoor, which, ha.ppily, loomed in sight. The ladies were pulled up by rope ladders, and eventually we all got taken safeJy to Dover." Luggage and Appetite Lost. Mrs. Carlyle, of Dublin, sister of Dr. OaA- laghan, said: Although fatigued and worn a little with the inevitable excitement, most of us are none the worse for our terrible experience. I did not leave with the other ladies in the first instance, being determined not to leave my brother. It is very fortunate 'for us that the sea was so calm that the small bo&ts could be managed without much danger. Of course, like the others, I lost all my luggage except the cloak I have over my arm. At one time I thought of trying to get down to my oabrn on the Argonaut for a bag which, oomiaijiod some of my valuables, but found this to be impossible. The captain, officers, amd crew were &U most kind and considerate in every way, and oould not have dome more than they did. When we lamded at Dover we were taken to the Lord Warden Hotel, and offered food, but few of us had any appetite." Mr. E. A. Fisher and his brother, Mr. P. Fisher, of Luton, aleo speaok highly of the excellent discipline maintained on board the Argonaut. The Cruise. Dr. H. S. L?na, the organiser of the excur- sion. -Ye: The Argonaut wae insured. She was on her way to MaraeiHea for a cruise in the Western Mediterranean, and was after- wards going to the Adriatic, Tangier, Tunis, Gibraltar, Sicily, Palestine, and Greece were among the places to be visited. The Argonaut was a good yacht of 3,274 tons, and she carried a large crew, for when the list is full she could accommodate about 300 pas- sengers." In a further interview Da*. Ltmn said: TheTe were only 113 passengers on board the Argonaut, although the yacht had accommodation for 216. The crew all told numbered 118, so that there were altogether 231 persons on board. The passengers oaane from London and from all parts of liogland, Scotland, and Ireland, and those who do not live in London will be a-ocommodarted in hotels here for the night. As to the ques- tion of compensation to passengers, I am afraid I oannot say anything." A survivor states: The passengers were easily Qocomniociated in the nine boats we launched. As it was, we left behind the large launch, and we oould easily have taken another hundred people. Of course, several of the ladies were nervous, and when they got ea?ely on the Kingswell they were quite Dr-tral-ed by the excitement. I really Cdlon'?t know whether the Argonaut did sink. All we know is that we had to abandon her in a sinking condition. All the passengers, of course, lost their belongings, one lady, the Countess de Hamil de Manin, being the greatest sufferer, losing altogether X6,000 worth of jewellery and furs." SURROUNDED BY GLOOM. I Lady's Graphic Narrative: Thrilling Scene. A lady survivor told a press representative that "the impact shook the ship from top to bottom. Everybody seemed to know instinc- tively that a temble disaster was upon us, and we were all on deck in a few minfutes. There was nothing to see, for the fog was so thick that it shut out everything more than a. few yards away from you. I really think that was the most terrifying aspect of it all. We felt so utterly helpk-.w--& einkkig ship and nothing to see but terrified faces and fog. It all seemed so frightfully lonely, but somehow—I suppose it was all too horri- fying-nobody fainted. I had made up my mind Tor it that we were doomed, and I am certain that all those other poor people thought the saine thing. When I think of it now it all seems BoO noble. They just regarded it as inevitable, and whether from utter helplessness or resolve took their fate quietly. There was no shrieking, no panic, and the beat of it all is tiiait the quiet dis- position of the passengers was not due to any action of the officers, though I suppose they would have taken steps to calm us all had there been any alarm. I managed to save a valuable miniature, but my watch went down in the boat with the rest of my belongings. We could feel the ship going down under our feet before we left. They lowered us with ropes caught round our waists. I felt a great deal relieved too moment we left the Argonaut, but things looked just as black again when we oamnienced to grope about in the fog. We oould see nothing, and we could hear northing, and for three-quarters of an hour we felt ourselves at the mercy of anything that might suddenly spring out of the fog. At last we reached the Kingswell, the vessel that had run into us, and in a few minutes they had pulled the lot of us, with their ropes. up on to the deck. Well, we thought we were safe there, but it turned out that the Kingswell's oaiptain was afraid his ship might go down. I heard that he did not want to alarm the ladies, and so kept the alarming news from us as long as he could. The men were working at the Pumps all the time we were there, for the ship was making a good deal of water. After three-quarters of an hour or so we were told that we must get into the boa.t again, and so we did. We were picked up by a colliery boat, and though, of course, everything was terribly dirty OlD board, they did all they could for us, amd we were very grateful to them for their kindness." Mrs. Carlyle spoke in glowing terms of the conduct of the officers and crew of the Argo- naut. "As for the purser and the first mate," she declared enthusiastically, "they were simply splendid." "THERE 18 NO DANGER, BUT I Doctor Describes a Dread Possibility Dr. Murray Leslie, of Harley-street, London, ea.td :-There seemed to be plenty of time for the vessels to steer clear of each other. The officers kept calm and cool, and inspired con- -fidOTIM Go down to breakfast." they said. We are struck above the water line, and there is no danger." So down to breakfast we went. but we never finished the moal, for the purser came into the dining-room and said: Ladies and gentlemen, there is no danger, but it would be IJS well for you all to come on deok. There is no hurry." When I returned to the dcok the passengers wrro making their wa.y into the boats. Ladies first," the captain said in a re-awaring tone, and all took him at his word. Many of us had had no breakfast; others very little, and the men on board the Kingswell kindly lowered us biscuits and butter. "But," interposed a lady passenger, salt beef sandwiches and biscuits were hardly tempting under the circumstances, and most of us had loat our appetites." Dr. Leslie added: Ra.d the collision occurred in the dark, or had the sea been choppy, there must inevitably have been loss of life."

FATE OF THE COLLIDING VESSELS. V The Argonaut is submerged in deep water, and salvage will not be easy. The Dover Harbour tugs Lady Vita and Lady Crundall left the harbour on Tuesday evening to render assistance to the KingBwell, which had been run ashore between Hythe and Sandgate, ten miles to the west of Dover. Four of her water-tight compart- ments were damaged in the collision, and these filled, but, fortunately, it was found 'I possible to get her ashore. The harbour- master reports that she will probably be got off. The weather was still very foggy.

The schooner was bound from Lisbon to Ireland with saJt, and when 200 miiee off the Spanish coast spraaig aleak.

The Roulette System ROSSLYN ADMITS FAILURE I The okwing soene in the test of Lord Rosslyn's roulette system was reached on Tuesday afternoon, when hia lordship had to admit defeat, having loot ail his capital— 250,000 francs (in counters)—long before the oompletion Off 5,000 coupe that had been arranged. At the morning's sitting the bank won 76,580 francs, TnniriTiy its total pin since the game begin. 164,84.. francs, and leading Lord Hoeslyn with only 85,160 francs. The position, in brief, when play wae resumed in the afternoon was as follows:- Number of coups played, 3,000. Number 01 eoapa to play, 2,000. "Bank won first day, 4,730 francs. Bank" won second day, 7,585 francs. Lord Rosslyn won third day, 49,395 francs. Bank" won fourth da.y, 2,305 francs. Bank won fifth day, 28,615 francs. Lard Bosslyn won sixth day, 6,960 francp.

Red baoked by Lord Rossiyn (excluding 75 zeros), 2,599 times. Black baoked by Lord Rosslyn (excluding 7 eeros), 319 times. Bed turned up" 1,407 times. Black turned up" 1,511 times. Zeros reoocdod to date, 82. Stalce tabled most times, 2,835 francs (158 times). Stake tabled most consecutively, 2,835 francs (116 times). REMARKABLE PLAT. There has been no more remarkable play since the tournament began eight days since than took place ait Tuesday morning's sitting. The stake which Lord Rosslyn opened with was 5,770 francs, which is only 230 francs under the maximum allowed. He had hoped by getting a sufficient number of reds, on which he was still playing, to reduce his stakes, but at the end of thirty coups the colour position began to go "dead" against him, and by the fiftieth spin he hau been forced to the stake limit. Reluctantly he decided to avail himself of the privilege which is accorded to him under the conditions of the test and out his losses, which amounted at this point to 117,400 francs -29,140 francs of tha,t having been dropped during the sitting. By doing so he was aible to play low stakes. He was now left with 132,600 francs in capital and 2,250 coupe to play. Up till this point his unit was 5 francs, but he decided to increase it to a louis (20 francs), and his first stake of the new game was one of two louis, or 40 francs. BLACK'S DEFIANCE OF AVERAGES. I The change did not bring him any better luck, block still predominating. It turned up" as it had been "turning up" throughout the contest, out of all proportion to the law of averages, and, to make matters worse, zero made its appearance far more times than it ought to oome up. Roulette players may be interested in the following det-ails of the oolour positions during the three hundred coups played at the morning's sitting:— Black. Red. Zero. 50 coups 27 22 1 60 coups 34 25 1 75 coups 42 31 2 90 coups 50 36 4 105 coups 61 40 4 121 coups 67 49 5 135 coupa. 75 55 5 150 ooupis 80 62 8 165 coups 87 69 9 100 coups 96 74 10 195 coups 104 80 11 210 coups 114 85 11 225 coups 125 89 11 240 coups. 134 95 11 255 coups 139 105 11 270 coups 146 112 13 285 ooups 153 119 13 300 ooups 100 127 13 Lord Rosslyn's stakes were a?ajn forced  up, &od ?t the adjournment they had in j creased to 4,300 francs. THE FINISH. I Lord Rosslyn reaohed a stake of 5,980 francs at the eighty-first coup in the afternoon, and as his next stake would have been 6,040—40 francs in excess of the maximum-the game automatically came to an end. His total losses were 232,640 francs. Black turned up in the afternoon 44 times, red 33 times, and there were four zeros. Lord Rosslyn has, therefore, failed to sub- stantiate his claim to beat the bank. For the whole game the colour proportion was: Black, 1,555; red, 1.440; leros, 86. This proportion was all against Lord Roaslyn, who played 2T680 times on red and only 319 times on black, and it is not in accordance with the law of averages. IjORD ROSSLYN'S EXPLANATION. J Lord Rosslyn attributed the fadl-mv of his system to this abnormal proportion. Sir Hiram Maxim regarded the result as justifying hie contention that the bank" must always win under the conditions of play. No matter," he said, what the player does, no matter where he stakes, there is not one little spot on the board where money caai be placed that the bank' does not stand the best chance of getting it. Every spin, moreover, is a little gam-ble of its own, and it is absolutely unconnected with anything that has gone before, or will come after." Sir Hiram intends to have full records of the gaane published. He has ttaucfct out a new way cf showM»f«evory detail of the play. He has invented a new mertMne ftc tho pur- pose.

DISTRIBUTION OF OLD- AGE PENSIONS. If CARDIFF COUNCIL MAKING ARRANGEMENTS. I THREE THOUSAND PERSONS I OVER SEVENTY. The first meeting of the Cardiff Old-age Pen- sions Committee, which comprises the whole of the members of the city council, was held on Tuesday. The Lord Mayor (Alderman Illtyd Thomas), who presided, stated that if any persons were to be co-opted it was necessary that some members of the council should resign, as the total number of the committee must not exceed 40. Then, it would be necessary to appoint sab-oommlttees of not less than five, nor more than nine. He would suggest that there should be five sub-committees, each OIlle comprising two wards, and that the number of members on each should be eight. Mir. Forsdike said he would like to hear the letters read winch had been received from Friendly Societies. The Lord Mayor said they specially referred to the Act of Parliament. Dr. James Robinson thought there should be a representative of the guardians on Friendly Societies from each ward on the committee. In the Park Ward he was about the only member of the council who knew the Maioa!lt f the poor people. The Lord Mayor agreed with Dr. Robinson. A long discussion took place in regard to the number of outsiders who should be co- opted, and it was agreed, on the suggestion of Dr. Robinson, that it should not be less than ten nor more than twenty. It was further decided that five syb-oom- mittees be appointed, for the following joint war,ds:-(I) Oanton and Riverside^ (2) Mrange- town and Sooth; (3) Central and Adamedown; (4) Splott and Roath; and (5) Oathays and Park. During the long discussion followed upon the constitution of the sub-committees, Alderman Lewie Morgan asked if it was too late to make repreeenta-tione that such duties as the Aot involved should not have been thrust upon municipal bodies. It was a huge mistake to pile up duties upon the local authorities in this way. Mr. A. C. Kirk: Oall upon the Government to resign immediately. On the motion of Mr. J. Chappell, seconded by Mr. Kirk, it was agreed that the six coun- cillors and two presiding aldermen of each of the combined districts arrange amongst themselves as to which of them shall resign from the sub-comimittee for their respective districts, and recommend names of per- sons for co-option on the sub-committees and main committee; and also that at least half of the members in each district be members of the council. The town-olerk was directed to call the dis- trict committees together on Friday at five o'clock, the pensions main committee to meet at 5.30. Letters were read from the Cardiff and Dis- trict Friendly Societies' Council, the Oardiff Trades and Labour Council, and several other friendly and labour orgamisations on the question of co-option and the nomination of co-opted members; whilst the Cardiff Women's Liberal Association expressed the opinion that women should be co-opted on the committees. It was understood that the representations contained in the letters would be taken cognisance of. The Town-clerk reported that, aooording to the census of 1901, there were 2,624 persons over the age of 70 years in Cardiff, and the council might assume that there were now about 3,000 persons of that age in the city area. METHODS OF ADMINISTRATION INI GLAMORGAN. At a meeting of the Bridgend Urban Dis- trict Council on Tuesday night a letter was read from the clerk to the Glamorgan Old-age Pension Committee stating that it had been decided as far as possible to constitute sub- committees from the nominees of district oouncals. It was necessary that one member of the county committee should be on each sub-committee, but they proposed that eight other members should be nominated by the district councils, as follows:One represen- tative of a trade and labour council, if any such exist in the district, otherwise of a lead- ing Trades Union or other workmen's organi- sation; one representative of the Oddfellows or other benefit society, and six representa- tives of the district councils, who need not neoeesarily be members of the council. Messrs. R. C. Griffiths and E. Preeoe, jun., were appointed council representatives, and the Rev. David Phillips, vicar of Newcastle, the Friendly Societies representative for the Bridgend district, on the Penybont and Porthcawl committee. OAERPHILLY ARRANGEMENTS. Mr. R. T. Rees presided at the meeting of the Ca?emhilly Council on Tuesday eremng, when a letter was re&d from the clerk of the old-age pensions committee of the county council outlining the proposed arralngements for the district. It was very important that the locaj sub-committee should be organised, so as to get to work as soon as might be. The letter contained the detaJIs for the remunera- tion of the clerks of the sub-ocxmimittees, Ac. OLD-AGE PENSIONS AND POST- OFFICE SHOPS. A singular circumstance in connection I with the administration of the Old-age Pen- sions Act has been reported from a Brecon- shire town. A female applicant for a pension was given the usual form to fill up. I The postmaster, noticing that the old lady's address was & viuage six or sewn miles a.way, asked her why she came &11 that dis- tance to ma.ke the application. The appli- cant stated tha.t her reason was she would rather not draw the pension in her own village, because there was a. shop attached to the post-office, and she was afraid that I the postmaster would expect her to lay out her pension in bis shop.

SHOT BY HIS OWN TRAP I Captain Who Took Precautions Against I Burglars j Oaptain MasEol, of the Line regimettt, stationed at Lille, took precautions against burglars, which have resulted in an accident likely to prove fatal to himeelf. He placed his service revolver so adjusted in a cigar-box inside his wardrobe that it would go off on the door being opened. On Tuesday night, forgetting the tra.p he i had set, he went to the wardrobe, and opened j the door, thus discharging the revolver. The! bullet lodged in his abdomen, and the oaptain I is ty-ing in the hospital, has life being de- paired of.-Itoutter.

POLICE WHO CANNOT SPEAK I "Just open your teeth when you. sspoak," said Mr. F. Danford Thomas, the Southwark deputy-coroner, to a polioe witness yesterday. "It's tile same with many policemen. They I get so in\he habit of holding up their hands I and not speaking that they forget how to I talk."

Notes and Selections. NBWTtfAiRKET, Wednesday Morning. At the conclusion of yesterday's racing young Frank Wootton was suspended for a month for his, foul riding of Gravy at Man- chester, and this effectually disposes of his chance of gainimg the jockey championship. The straggle now remaams with Maher and Higgs, and, owing to his easy win on Bayardo yesterday, the former has slightly im/ptrwed his prospects. As was the case with Sloan, Maher thinks more of his aveirage than his aggregate, and. as there is no oertainity of his riding to the end of the season, no one should back him tobeat Higgs. Yesterday's racing was quite unworthy of the headquarters of the turf, and can be dis- 3nissed without any comment whatever. To. day the Great Eastern Rail/way Handicap ia I certain to provoke SOIne heavy speculation, j Jack Sntpe, who was second at Doncaster, does not apparently ru/n, but his conqueror, The Welkin, is on the spot, and. what is more, is genuinely famcied. The ground is not soft enough for Desfesipoir. Bellatrix is a strong tip, but I fancy the iseue wiR be left to ELMSTEAD, Nero, and The Welkin, and I like them m the order named.

EDINBURGH BANK FRAUD CANARD. Inquiry at all the head offices of the banks in Edinburgh throws discredit on the report of a fraud by a cheque for ZCI,DW having been altered to £ 4,000. It is dended that any such fraud has been perpetrated in the city, and the story is regarded in banking circles as a hoax. No complaint has been lodged with the police that any sraeh act has been committed.

Sir W. T. Lewis, Bart. PRESIDENT OF IRON AND STEEL INSTITUTE MIDDLESBROUGH, Tuesday. The autumn meeting of the Iron and Steel Institute was opened in the Victoria- hall. Middlesbrough, this morning. The selection of Middlesbrough for the meeting is a happy one, as the town is tihe centre of the Cleveland iron district and the president of the institute (Sir Hugh Bell) is the head of the great Middlesbrough iron firm of Bell Brothers. The five papers read during the opening session were of a highly technical character. Sir Hugh Bell, president, wae in the chair, and there wae a large attendance. The Mayor (Lieutenajit-colonel Poole), in offering the members a cordial weloome, reminded them that Middlesbrough was the birthplace of the institute. Middlesbrough was primarily the creation of the great rail- way system. Middlesbrough had no existence as a port or town prior to 1830, but now. thanks to the improvements in tlie river by the Tees Commissioners. Middiesbrousfe took the sixth place among the 130 ports in the kingdom, and was the moat important port in the world for the export of iron and steel. In the early days of the port the average size of vessels wae 96 tons; to-day it was between six and seven thousand tone. Middlesbrough had become the oentre of the largest iron and steel producing district in the world. 1_ THE NEW PRESIDENT. Sir li-ngh Bell announced th&t his sncocapor would be Sir William Thomas Lewis, Bart. of C"rd-iff, who had been nominated to fill the offioe of president for the ensuing two years from next May. Sir Hugh added that everyone would reoogmiee that it would be imipossrble to find anyone more suitable for the offioe, and it was a matter of great disappointment to him that Sir William waa not able to be present that day in order to hear with what satisfaction the announcement was received by the insti- tute. Sir William's connection with the industries of South Wales wae too well known for him to dwell upoca. The active part which Sir William Thomas Lewis had taken in everything connected with the industries of South WaJes marked him out as the oooupant. of the office of president as soon as ever be was willing to reoeive it. Therefore, it fell to him. and not to oce of his predeoeseore, to a-nnounoe that Sir Willia-m Thomas Lewis, who had been a member of the insulate since 1871. was to occapy the presidential chair. The am-noun-cement was received with load applause.
