WHAT PERCY DiD I As many of Percy Bush's "friends" (!) are giving vent to their kindly opinions on that player's sporting action in down for the Scotch match to-day, it may interest them to know that when Percy heard the rumour om Wednesday afternoon t-hat Diok Janes oould not play he imme- diately telephoned to Mr. Wallter Bees, and told him thia-t if the committee cared to risk playing him in has injured oonddtion he would get a doctor to bandage him up and torit oat in the match. He could, of oomrwe, labve said nothing about his ininry and gone on the field just far the glory of it, knowing tkwt he was maekr to bor-eaa down, but the Obrdftff oaptaAo rigiKSy decided thai it was go fair to team, VJle. or MmøeH to tefee aft ooarset and 80 he did the only possible WW open to lJim aø a eporteman, and stood WELSH SUPPORTERS ARRIVE! Great Game Anticipated I Wiring from Edinburgh this morning,, I "Forward" says:- Edinburgh looked its best to-day, and everybody who has walked down Princes- street knows that that best is very beauti- ful. Sunshine poured down upon the city from a cloudless sky, and the weather "was as mild ae it is in May. No match between Scotland and Wales had ever been played under more ideal condi- tions. Three excursion trains brought hundreds of enthusiastic Welshmen into the Caledo- uian Station this morning, and one saw more leeks in Scotland to-day than one can hope to see outside his broth basin in his own native land of the leek. So far as is known at present there will not be a single change on either side, and a great game is anticipated. THE TEAMS. l At Inverleith. Scotland. Tea.ma:- WALES. Back: J. Bancroftr Swansea.

A VIEW OF EDGAR ALLAN POE A poet less gnomic than Poe, one from whom less, as they say in the suburbs, "can be learned," is scarcely to be found in the wliole ramge of literature. Hie laok of curiosity a.bout moral ideas is so complete that evil moves him no more than good. There have been writers of ecoentric or per- verse morality who have been so much irritated by the preaching of virtue that they have lent their genius to the recom- mendation of vice. This invert-ion of moral fervour is perhaps the source of most that is vaguely called "immoral" in imaginative litera.ture. But Edgar Poe is as innocent of immortality ae he is of morality. No more innocuous flowers than his are grown through the length and breadth of Par- nassng. There is hardly a phrase in his col- lected writings which has a bearing upon any ethical question, and those who look for what Wordsworth called "chains of valuable I thoughts" must go elsewhere.—"Oon'tem- poraary.

DOCKERS' GRIEVANCES. I A deputation of Newport dockers waited upon Sir Charles Cayzer, Bart., head of the Clan Steamship Line, at the King's Head Hotel, Newport, on Friday evening, and represented that at present they had no means of checking the quantities of general cargo which they handled in loading steamers of the Clan and other lines. Mr. Cox, who headed the deputation, referred to the measurement and weight tariffs in load- ing ships, and said the men who did the work feit that they were not always adequately paid, because they had no definite plan of ascertaining the amount of cargo they shipped. Sir Charles Cayzer thanked the men for laying their grievance before him. In many ports it was impossible for the owners to employ men direct, and they employed agents and stevedores to see the wock done. That was the case at Newport. He informed the deputation that they could elect which- ever course they preferred-bavin.g a copy of the ship's manifest sent to one or two of their representatives, or appointing their own checker. Whichever they preferred, he would undertake it should be conceded. His agents at Newport, Messrs. Jones, Heard, and Co., would have instructions to see that the men were given every information to arrive at a correct statement of the amount of cargo they handled, and he would also do his beet to induce the owners of other steam- ship lines to fall in with the men's sugges- tions. Sir Charles was heartily thanked for the I concessions which he had granted.

SWANSEA APPEAL CASE I The case of Strong v. Thomas and John, which was tried at the last Swansea Assizes, before Mr. Justice Ridley and jury, was men- tioned to-day in the Court of Appeal, before the Master of the Rolls amd Lord Chief Jus- tice Buckley. Mj. UewAlyn Williams, for defendants, said the action was by plaintiff, as the widow of a collier, claiming damages from defendeibto3 for alleged negligence, which caused the death of her 'husband. Judgment was given for defendants. Plain- tiff desired to appeal, and he applied on behalf of John (thk; other defendant, Thomas, liavirit died) that plaintiff shall be ordered to give seciwity for the coetts of the appeal. Plaintiff at the trial admitted that the funds for figitting that action w-ere being found by a friend. There being no opposition, the Court ord"red plaintiff to find XIO security within fourteen days.

MARATHON RACE. I SHRUBB BEATEN BY LONGBOAT I Englishman Breaks Down in the I 25th Mile I INDIAN CHEERED BY HIS BRIDE I New York, Saturda.-Maintaining an even.! 6wmgmg pace, which be rarely varied troughout, Longboat last night wrested victory from Shrubb in a race over the Marathon dis,tanc.e at Madison-square Gar- dens. When the laurels seemed within the grasp of the Englishman, Shrubb collapsed, at the twenty-fifth mile, and the Indian finished atone, without signs of distress. Time, 2hr. 53-min. 40 2-5sec.; nearly Smin. slower than the Dorando-ITrecord. All th-rough the race the greatest excite- ment prevailed a.mon.g the, crowd which thronged the Gardens. Shrubb, as predicted, started off at a rattling pace, and gained h e Indian plodded lap after lap, while the Indian plodded steadily along, except after the fifteenth mile, when he increased his pace, in order to test his opponent's strength. Finding, however, tha.t Shrubb was still going strong, Longboat resumed his dog trot, and a.t the seventeenth mile the Englishman was eight laps ahead. Nearing the twenty- fifth mile, however, Shrubb showed visible I .signe, of distress, and was frequently obliged l to walk. Longboat gained several Laps, and, seeing his opponent's distress, suddenly dashed off at a terrific pace. The English- man, unable to follow, lost his lead, and I finally collapsed in the fifth lap of the I twenty-fifth mile. The Race I The race started at 9.19, and Shrubb imme- diately rushed to the front at a fast pace and gradually increased his lead, Longboat being unable to follow. The firat mile was covered in 4min. 32sec., Shrubb being then three-fourths of a lap ahead. At the second mile there was a lap and a half between the runners. Shrubb's perfect action aroused great enthu- siasm among the spectators, but ma.ny declared that he would not last the distance. The fifth mile? was reached in 27min. Msec. Shrubb would run fast for a mile or two, and then slow down to a trot, apparently to reserve his wind and strength, and at the tenth mile, which he reached in 57min. 32 2-5sec., he was no lees than half-a-mile ahea.d. of the still, steadily-plodding Indian. Longboat was, apparently, not worried when the Englishman increased his lead to six laps at the twelfth mile, but when he entered the fifteenth he sprinted and gained 50 yards. This was seemingly done to test Shrubb's strength, for when the Englishman refused to let the Indian get any nearer the latter resumed his long, swinging stride. When the fifteenth mile was completed in lh., 28min., Shrubb had a lea.d of six laps and a half, and was lovudly cheered by the spectators. During the nineteenth and twentieth miles he made another fine burst, and put eight laps between him and the Indian. Time at the twentieth mile was 2h. imin., 25 4-5sec. II. the next mile Shrmbb stopped to change his shoes, and this enabled Longboat to regain a lap, but Shrubb soon returned to the track, and set off agadu at a lively pace. Shrubb Breaks Down I Longboat's manager now brought the Indian's bride to the side of the track to encourage her husband, who responded gamely and went away at a fast run, smil. ing ait. his wife. Meanwhile, Shrubb seemed to be in trouble, and Ms gait slackened. Longboat began cutting down the lead yard by yard, and pandemonium was let loose when at the 22nd mile Sbrabb came down to a walk. His distress was apparent to aJl, but He waE; game to the core. for he soon started to run a<gain with swinging stride. Cheered on by his bride Longboat electrified tbe spectators by rapidly drawing up on his foot-tiring rival so ravidly that he was only four laps behind at the end of the twenty- third mile. Shrubb now frequently broke his pace, buto the Indian continued to sprint, and in the ftrrtt half of the twenty-fourth mile he again won applause by gai-Ding another lap. It was only his great game- nese that, now kept Shrubb going. His mouth was wide open, his legs were stiff with cramp, and has attendants vainly eiapped his limbs in the endeavour to relieve him. Crowds yelled, Bha-ieked, and cursed in thedT excite- ment as Longboat slowly but surely recovered the lost ground, then drew level with Shrubb aAld finally p"esd him with a. eimle of triumph. The Indian sprinted to the goai, and Shrubb, unaible to respond to the challenge, fell exhaoisted to the ground.

He was masked to say what was on the barrow, but tried to run away, and was only cap- tured after a oevere struggle. The sequel was the remand of Wiliiam Sullivan at Mary- lebone to-day, charged with being concerned with another man in breaking into the pre- mises in Wigmore-sbreet and steading a safe a.nd its contents.

EASY WAY OF EXECUTION I It was early, and the landlord of the the Blackpool putb had not yet opened the doors for the inAuae of "rum-and-milk" customers.

Ullo, Bill," he said, "w'y you look like a bloke wot'e goin' to be hesecurted!" "How d'yer make thqat out?" growled the oither.

It is a curious fact that his brotibor was killed at the East Dock when the fish market was opened.

Floods in Germany I RIVERS RACE THROUGH TOWNS BERLIN, Friday. I News from various parts of the country show that the floods are becoming more serious. A telegram from Nordha-usen (province of Saxony) states that the sur- rounding country has been visited by very severe inundations. Numerous villages are out off from all communication with the out- side world. Railway traffic is wholly inter- rupted, and many bridges have fallen in. Ten lives are reported to have been lost. The Lahn Valley between Giessen and WetzLa-r has been transformed into a vast lake. Meanwhile the Rhine and other large streams are steadily rising. A special signal service has been organised along the Rhine where the river is expected to reach danger point in a day or two. At. Nuremberg the River Regnitz rose 12ft. during the night, and, overflowing its ba.nks, raced like a millstreani through the streets. The newspapers have suspended publication, and enormous damage has been done to property. Reports from Frankfort-on-Main record the highest water level for 50 years in the Odenwaid-Essen. The reports declare that the situation there is growing serious. In the adjacent region the town of Herdecke is Qooded. and a number of damo in the vicinity of Ha?en have been broken down. At Dortmund the fire brigade was called out to rescue a family from a house where the waters were already lapping the second storey wijido". Several railway bridges over the Rhine and its confluents on the right bank have been swept away, so that all trains travelling up stream from Cologne have to take the left bank. At Cassel the snow which fell from last Saturday night until last Tuesday thawed i suddenly. In barely a day the mountains were freed of their masses of snow, which poured down a colossal volume of water into j the River Fulda. The country between Wahern and Grifte resembles an open soa. Blasting icefioes I At W oIrershausen icefloes have been driven together into a huge iceberg, which pioneers are nowola.sting away with dynamite. An official telegram from Munich reports that the confluents of the River Main seem to have broken the record for high-water mark. ( Measures of precaution have been taken in anticipation of a rise in the Main. A Nuremberg telegram says that messages received from Northern Bavaria almost unanimously report floods unprecedented for decades and centuries. A bridge over the Main at Zapfendorf, and the bridge over the Regnitz at Moehrendorf have been swept away. Numerous lives have been lost. The Saale has overflowed its banks, and the water is higher th%n it has ever been before. The whole of the town of Kissingen is under water, and the three famous saline springs are flooded. The Prince Regent Leo- pold Bad, the Casino, and other buildings erected for the convenience of visitors have been inundated, and the electric works are only partially running. At Gera, near Leipzig, numbers of house.; have fallen in, killing three persons, while at Stockhausen seven miners who were engaged in Tesouing two soldiers were drowned. At Bebra a railway employe and his two children perished. The Danube has risen more than 10ft. at Regensburg since last night, and the stream presente an extraordinary spectacle, house- hold utensils, bathing boxes, and agricultu- ral machines being swept along by the raging waters. Great damage has been done, and postal traffic is completely interrupted.— Renter.

Woman and Lodger I CORIOTJS PCHJCE-COURT STORY I Robert Willis (28), a smart-looking man, was (charged on remand at Cardiff to-day with stealing El 10s., four gold rings, a brooch, a silver watch, a pair of gloves, and three pawntickets, from Mrs; Polly Fulford, of King's-road, Canton. It may be re-called that .the story of Mrs. FuMord was that the prisoner lodged in the same house as her for three days onJy, and then. "walked out with her. They visited an hotel, and tihen went with another woman to a. house in Gray-Street. Here, it was alleged, Mre. Fulford fell asleep. Upon awaking she discovered her loss, and the door of the room locked, she waited u.ntil the door was opefned by the priso-ner and the woman, and when the latter asked him to give Mrs. Fulford her rings it was alleged itba/t he put 'the lamp out and kicked the mantel-shelf to pieces. The women ran out and informed the police. Prisoner now called Herbert Hayes (a man employed at a, soap works), whom he casually met at he was g-oingr into the house, to say that the woman was drunk on the bed, and both men tried to arouse her. Prisoner remarked to witness, "I have taken the rings off her fingers for safety, and I've got her watch as well. You don't know who will come in." The woman, on awaking, said she had lost thirty shillings, and had been rootoed. Mjts. Fulford now denied that she knew the prisoneft three days, and she said she simply went to the hotel with prisoner because hie wife was conning from gwanaea, and he was to meet her there. Witness was also from Swansea, and prisoner said his wife would be glad to see her. Prisoner was committed to the asHzew.

PRIBONEfr8 SUICIDE IN A CELL I A prisoner named Edward Scott, aged 18, was found hanging in his cell at Maidstone Gaol, and at the inquest yesterday the jury returned a verdict of Suicide during tem- porary insanity." Soott was at the Central Criminal Court in March sentenced to two years' imprLsoilament for highway robbery with violence after a previous conviction. He was first sent to Borstal, but his conduct there was so bad that he bad to be trans- ferred to Maidstone Prison. There he attempted euicide a few weeks ago, and, in consequence, was closely watched. During the temporary absence of the warder the prisoner, however, hangecl himself with a loop in his sheet, which he had fastened to the bed board. Scoitfc had been punished a few daye previously for refractory cosnduot.

FAULT OF CIRCUMSTANCES I All the wieeascres have been declaring this I is an extravagant age, but., really, I think some excuse is to be made for it. If the women of to-day buy more pretty frocks in six weeks than their ancestresses did in six years, their critics are n.pt to forget they have the opportunity of seeing a much greater number. Since travelling became so easy and motor-cars so common, it. is a sirnpibe matter enough for even a country mouse to run up to town when she wants something new.—"Black and V,hite."

He first began by paying speaall attention to the Amerioa,n women he met, and made no secret of admiring their toilettes.

MOIIIWEN HEROES AT CARDIFF The heroes of the Afonwen were enter- tained at a supper and smoking concert arranged by Mr. Govier amd the companions of Mr. E.

The function took place at Govier's Oale. Albany-road, Booth Bade. A ntfueieal programme was arranged.

Admiralty's Threat SIX DREADNOUGHTS WANTED I Despite all statements to the contrary, the "Daily Express" understands that the grayest possible crisis has arisen in the relations between the Admiralty and the Cabinet. In considering the building programme for the forthcoming Naval Estimates a majority of the Cabinet were of opinion that a pro- gramme whioh provided for the laying down of four Dreadnoughts was a.mple, if not excessive, provision for Britain's narval needs during the ensuing year. The Admiralty, however, submitted a pro- gramme of soix Dreadnoughts, which they declared to be the irreducible minimum con- sistent with iiational safety. For days the controversy has proceeded, growing in heat and intensity. One by one the opponents of the Admiralty programme were prevailed on to accept the advice of the expert- advisers. Four prominent mem- bers of the Cabinet, however—Lord Morley, Mr. Lloyd George, Mr. John Burns, and Mr. Winston Churchill—showed no inclination to be driven into submission. The first resolved itself into a desperate combat between these four Ministers and the Lords of the Admiralty. The Ministers reso- lutely refused to chan.goe their attitude of relentless opposition. The Lords of the Admiralty were equally determined that the requirements of the Navy would not be satis- fied by anything less than a six Dreadnought progr am me. The outcome was inevitable. The Lords of the Admiralty finally informed the Catbinet that unless their programme was accepted they would resign in a body, as it is their duty to do.

CARDIFF'S GREAT LOSS The statement made by Sir Alfred Thomas, M.P., at a public meeting at Cardiff on Thursday to the effect that a great ship- buildin.g industry had been kept cut of Cardiff by prohibitive ground rents has, naturally, aroused the keenest attention, not only on the part of those engaged in bueiness at the Docks, but also among townsmen, who feel that the future prosperity of the town and port necessitates a better balance and variety of commercial and industrial enter- prises. The conditions affecting the letting of sites for factories and other grea-t indus- trial concerns have long been the subject of keen and often angry discussion on the part of the townspeople, and Sir Alfred Thomas's speech has set on everybody's tongue the question who is reetjoneoble for the rebuff which Sir Charles M. Palmer alleges he received, and for the vast and incalculable loss which, inferentially, the community of Car- diff had suffered by the diversion-to J arrow- on-Ty-.ie--of a shipbuilding industry which would have added enormously to the import- ance and prosperity of Cardiff. Inquiries have be made by us in various directions with the view of testing the allegation, but so far with no definite result. A representative of the "Evening Express" saw Sir William Thomas Lewis, Bart., at Aberdare, and put to him a question regard- ing the application of Sir Charles Palmer for a site on the Cardiff seaboard. Sir William replied:—" If such an application was made, it must have been before my time, as I know of no such application having been made by Sir Charles Palmer since I have had to do with the management of the Bute Estate." I Tredegar Estate Disclaimer Mr. Mitchell-Innee, agent for the Trodlegar Estate, says that he has no knowledge what- ever of the circumstances mentioned by Sir Alfred Thomas, and does not think it can have any association with the Tredegar Estate. Plymouth Estate Denial Mr. Robert Forrest, the agent of the Ply- mouth Estate, said, in reply to inquiries, that he had never received any communica- tion even remotely connected with shipping, and certainly never from Sir Charles Palmer. Boone fifteen years ago he received an appli- cation for a foreshore right at Grangetown It came from the owners of a great tool works on the Thames, but he could not then remember the name. He took them over the suggested site, and they were thoroughly satisfied with it and with the terms sug- gested, but when they learned what house- reuts in Cardiff were they immediately dropped all idea of establishing works here. They said the house-rents were prohibitive.

PARIS MURDER TRIAL I PARIS, Friday. The trial of the butler Renard and the valet Courtods on a charge of murdering their master, M. Remy, was resumed to-day. The oourj- was again crowded to suffocation, suffocation. Describing the crime, the younger prisoner said that Renard persuaded him to take part in a robbery in order to obtain possession of Madame Remy's jewellery, which was very valuable. The two men arranged to meet at midnight in the valet's room. Renard arrived at the hour appointed. He was stark naked, and held in his hand a dessert knife with a sharp blade and a silver handle. He sat down on the edge of the bed. They discussed the intended robbery. Oourtois was afraid, and asked "What if we are caught?" "Bah!" replied Renard, "Remy is as deaf as a post. Besides, you will bring a napkin, and if he calls out we will gag him." As Court oia etiH lwsitated, Renard, still showing the knife, added, "I have something here to quiet him." The valet, acting under the butler's orders, then also completely undressed, and the two men groped their way in the dark downstairs to their master's room. Renard entered first. He had been in the room only a few seconds when Courtois heard two dull thuds. Going into the room, he saw Renard struggling with his roaster, the latter having managed to switch on the electric light. Courtois next sa-w the butler deal two blows at Remy's head with a knife. Responding to Renard's calls for assistance, Courtois ran forward, and endeavoured to gag the aged banker with a napkin brought for the purpose. Renard conitinued mean- while to deal repeated stabs with the knife. In the course of the struggle M. Remy bit Courtois' finger. When the banker, who offered a vigorous resistance, at last, gave no sign of life Renard said, "Good; it is done." They then carried out the robbery as planned, afterwards washing and remov- ing all stains of blood. Renard, replying to the judge, reiterated his assertion that the valet's story was a paok of lies from first to last.

DANGER OF THE STRONG CIGAR I Dispatches froan Gibraltar received at New York announce that a court-martial has acquitted Edward Qualtrough, commander of the American battleship Georgia, who was accused of bedne intoxicated at a reception given at Tangier by the American Minister to the officers of the fleet. Captain Qual- trough pleaded that long duty on the bridge of his vessel, insufficient eleeip, and the effect of a strong cigar made him act strangely at the reception, and he denied the oharge of intoxication.

i— ■■ ..I .I.. ,i — Compulsory Suicide I STRANGE CHINESE CUSTOM I I M. Francis Mury gives in the Paris "Revue" details, which he claims are from an *u n i.m poach able authority, of how the dying Dowager Empress of China resolved that the Emperor Kwang Su must accom- pany her to the tomb." It was given out officially that he was suffering from heart disease, but offers of the assistance of the doctors of the foreign legations were refused. A hi,g1i palace official visited the Emperor and told hrim of the Empress's decision. At the same time (says the "Revue") he placed by the Emperor's side the opium pills, gold leaf, and yellow silk cord with which the Chinese of high rank commit suicide. Then he withdrew, announcing that he would return later. If by that time the Emperor Kwang Su had not swallowed the opium pills or asphyxiated himself by inhaling the fine glald leaf, the Grand Eunuch woul dha-ve him strangled with the silken cord by two atten- dants who were to watch at his door. When the official returned the opium pills had disappeared and the Emperor was stretched on his couch breathing with diffi- culty, his heart feebly beating, and his limbs, already cold. Presently he expired. The Empr-ess could no wdie in peace (says the "Revue") an ddid so twenty-fours lateTl

Detective-sergeant Dicks gave evidence Off" arrest, and said he known prisoned- for seven years.

Wif EIS FAREWELL LETTER A pathetic letter was read at a Surbiton inccuest yesterda-y on Mrs. Parker, a lady of independent means, wiho was found drfovened in tihe Thames.

JILTED WOMAN Of 47 I At Preston Sheriffs-court yesterday, in. an motion for breach of promise of marriage, £ 150 damages were awarded to Margaret Alioe Shoefield, against Joeepth Jackson, col- liet,s und«r-managor, of Manchester-road, Kearsley, near Bolton. The oaae was sad rather than romantic, the plaintiff's solicitor eaad. The parties were about 47 years of age, a.nd women of 47 did not easily find husbands. Jackson had promised to marry the pJaxntiff on the death of his agped mother, when, he represented, he would become entitled to £ 1,600, and he kept Mise ShoefieJd waiting seven years. When his mother died he m.a.de the excuse that lie had been drinking. She found he had become infatuated with a young barmaid. He became angry, and struck her two blows on the ear which had made her deaf. He i- married the barmaid in Deoember. A few days ago he packed uip and went away with his young bride. He had previously written to the plaintiff's solicitor: "She ca,n go on with her case, as I shall never pay her a penny piece."

EGG-SHAPED HEADS I I The egg-shaped heads of some of the natives of Malekula, in the New Hebrides, says a writer in the "National Geographical Magazine," were once thought to be natu- rally conical. For that reason scientific men decided that the Malekulans were on the lowest rung of the human ladder. Later it was found that the conical heads were produced as the Chinese women distorted their feet, by binding them in infancy. The egg-shaped head is still fashionable in Mele- kula, where some extraordinary results are achieved. The conical shape is produced by winding strong cord spirally about the heads of young babies aDd tightening the coils from time to time. A piece of plaited mat is first put on the head, and the cord is coiled over this. so as to give it a good purchase. The crown of the head is left to develop in the upward and backward fashion that is so much desired.

CRICKET I The AustraHan Test" I The Australian Test" I Sydney, Saturday.—The weather was still unsettled to-day when the Rest of Australia continued their iiminga in the trial match with the Australian eleven. Hazlitt and Sampson, the overnight not-out men, faced the bowling of (YConnor and Cotter, and brought the total to 203, when Simpson was caught in the outfield by Hansford off O'Connor for 13. He gia.,w., one ohanoe to Trumper in the slips off Getter. Barms new joined Haslit-t, and at 220 Armstrong went on to bowl instead of Cotter, who :oo.r 45 runs knocked off him for no wicket. The cJudfee had no effect, and runs oame eteadily until at 268 Haslitt, who had made 62, was by Cotter, standing at mid-off, off O'Connor's bowling1. Hazlitt's coirt.rib<*fcion was a valuable one, and included serpen 4's. Kellew-ay was the next man in, and when three runs had been added Cotter re-pkioed Armstrong and met with immediate sncoess, bowling Barnes, who had reaohed hset 51 after being badly missed at 14 by Armstrong at nrid-off off O'Connor, before another rnn was scored. At this point an adjourn meat was made for lunch, KeJleway being 1 ftaot out out). The attendance, which was moderate at first, improved as the morning advanced. On resump-tion of play Gorry went to the wtidJcets with Kelleway, and Oofctwr and O'Connor continued to bowl. At 296 Cotter bowled Gorry for 15, and Saasnders, the ia-srt man in, did not stay long, being bowled by O'Connor when he had made 8. the innings closing for 31.1 Ilhe Feet were at the wickets I four hours and foirby nmra.toes in alL The fiel^ng of the All Australia tom-m was pa-boby.

I WRESTLING. I I NATIONAL SPORTING CHAMPION- SHIPS. With the eema-finale of the light-weights amd middle-weaghto set for decision on Fri- day afternoon in the tournament at the Alhambra, a, tremendous amount of interest was aroused by the proceedings, the attend- ance being the largest since the competition began. In addition, a bout in the heavies, between John Lenun and Joe Oarroii, had the effect of drawing a lot of people to the house. This heat, however, proved disap- pointing, ae Lemm experienced no difficulty in overpowering his opponent in less than four minutes, his favourite cross-buttook I bringing about the downfall of a clever, but over-weighted man. For the light-weights the neatest wreetling 90 far seen took place. Iti the first bout Tonge met Broadbent. Tho latter was in his best form, while Tonge did not wrestle so cleverly as usual. There was little to choose for some time, but after 8min. 46sec. Broadbent gained the fall with a reverse body roll and double cbeet-hold. The seoond bout was soon over, for Broad- bent, though underneath, brought off a splen- did roll, and, with an arnnhold, won in I lmin. 18800. Rose a,nd Ckarnock wrestled splendidly, Rose gaining the first fall with a reverse chest-hold, and the second with a beautiful arm-roll. Irs linger and Berry then took the mat in the middle-weights, and after nearly thirty minutes' strenuous work IrsJinger was disqualified, a scene of great excitement following. Irslinger protested strongly, but without avaal HEAVY-WEIGHTS.—Third Series J. Poster (Pemberton) beat C. Green <Hindley> J. Lemm (Switzerland) beat Joe Carroll (HinoHey).

I ItEWPOBT EM PIKE Lilliputians as a rule are bat lilliputians. Zeynards, which appear next Monday, are more. They are clever equestrians and skilled acrobats. Another important turn is that of Walter Bellonini, the famous juggler. For ileatnes6 and novelty it would be impossible to beat him. Throwing balls and bottles by meadib of a muscular contraction of the arms or legs is a feat all the more remarkable because WaJter Belkwiini wears an ordinary suit of clothes, and not the usual juggler's costume
