WELSHMEN WIN WATER POLO MATCH. .a. 'W IRISHMEN DEFEATED BY FOUR GOALS. With the object of popularising: aquatic sport in the Ehondda, the Welsh Amateur Swimming Association fixed the venne of the Ireland v. Wales water polo match at the Llvvynypia Workmen's Swimming Baths, and the result justified the venture, for the ideal building was well filled on Saturday evening with an enthusiastic crowd. The aquatic gala which a-leo took place there was like- wise highly suc<xssfu], and some good times were made by the ladies in the 50 yards handicap. The officials were :-Judges, Messrs. T. Powell a.nd H. E. Baht, W.A.S.A.; handicapper, Mr. R. J. B. Dickson, W.A.S.A., Newport; a.nd time-keeper, Mr. R. H. Nicol, i W.A.S.A. I WALES V. IRELAND. Intense interest wa.s shown in the inter- national. Paper form strongly pointed to an easy win for the Irishmen, as a week a,go they trounced Scotland to the extent of five goals to one whilst practically the iden- tioal side which represented Wales on Satur- day came home from hn gland with an appalling score asrainst them. On that occa- sion also WaJ.es lacked the services of lJaolo Ha,dm)?,Y]c, one of the cley ?""?st water Ha.dmilovic, the country, under circumstances which v,ill, it is hoped, soon be forgotten. His position was given to his friendly rival. E. Karagianis, who performed very credit- ably. I re land, however, have only won a couple of games against Wales in the long Eerier. Unfortunately, the visitors had to come over without W. E Morris, their goalie, and J. P. Tallon, one of the backs, the substitutes being F. V. Rearden and W. Denn-ahy. As re-constructed, therefore, the sides were: — Ireland: Goal, F. V. Reardon; backs, J. C. Meldon, G. S. DoekrelL and W. Dennahy; for- wards, Gerald Beckett (captain), E. C. Mark, and Jam-e,, Beckett. Wales: Goal. H. S. Co.j>pock (Cardiff!: backs. H. G. Herbert (New-port), A. G. Oliver (Car- diff. rapt-aim, and Geo. Sheridan ICaniiff; forwards, Norman 8. Cop pock (Cardiff;, Chris. Jones (Pecnarth), and E. Karagianis (Cardiff). Kefe/ree, Mr. Janies Watt (Scotland): goal scorers. Mr. H. M. Dockrell (Ireland) and Mr. T. Powell (Wales). THE PLAY. Ireland e,.efedded the deep end, but, though they got possession first, Sheridan tried tho opening shot. It was a weak effort. but Norman Coppock pounced upon Reardon s save and scored the first- goal for Wales. One minute later Coppock repeated the trick. Reardon having no chance at clo^e quarters. Ireland then took up an attack, but II. S. Coppock was at home, and when the Welshmen retaliated Karagianis only lobbed t.he ball. Norman Coppock, however, almost found the net again, and then Ire- land had a tnUTI. Dockrell made great head- way, and a clear opening gave JaTnes Beckett the first Irish goal. Very soon, however, Karagianis justified his inclusion in the Welsh tea-m by placing a lovely goal. Next. Dockrell shewed fine pace and judgment in securing Ireland's second ga.-I. after whi-c-b Chris. Jones made a very wide shot. Exciting dashes were made near the visiting goal a little later, and. following a penalty, Herbert got another goal for Wales. A long shot by Sheridan almost brought a fifth. The Irish- men were now warming to the danger of defeat, and Dockrell showed some temper at being hampered by Chris. Jonee. Why I don't you try and get on my beck," he gurgled, to a ring- of laughter from the audience. Then Gerald Beckett was ordered o>nt of the water for a fon!, and after rcuch hMk to sbot?s by Herbert. Karagianis, and I<Chrir,. Jones the interval arrived. Half-time pfore: Go-a?s. I WALES 4 I rRTL"D" i I Tho Welshmen were first to attack on resuming, R-eardon Laving- to save warm shots from Herbert and Chris. Jones but Herbert at length got the fifth goal with a great, corner shot The Irish captain then returned to the waiter. Norman Coppock twice shot badly in subsequent play, and then Dockrell by powerful strokes got away and netted Ireland's third goal. Gerald Beckett was presently favourably placed, but Nor- man Coppock robbed him of the ball, and H. S. Coppock stopped a later shot. The sixth Welsh goal was put in by Norman Coppock, and this was followed by Herbert trickily drawing the Irishmen around him ere trans- ferring to Oliver, who had ill-luck with a good hot. More exciting play. <?nd Norman Coppock got yet another goal, his fourth, and in a subsequent attack by Ireland two of the visitors had an open passage, bnt Oliver sped across and brought off a wonder- ful save. The Irishmen came again, hrJ\ I ever, and Gerald Beckett scored their fourth goal. Dockrell tried very hard to reduce the Leek's lead. but Herbert frustrated him, and Wales got their last goal from Herbert, after Oliver had made the opening. J?inal gcore: Goals. i WALES 8 i'ii\D" ;l: :OrS' I l REMARKS. Though by no means a brilliant exposition of water polo, the play at times was finely contested. The Irishmen were a trifle wild in their anxiety to get the ball, and it generally ant that after their splash a Wei; hman would be seen making off with it. Dockrell was at all times the fancy of the crowd, but he preferred swimming to shooting. James Bec?ptt and the Irish c?pt?in al shonp. and it should be mentioned that an Irish pdayer was out of the water when three of the Welsh scores were made. Nor man Cop- pock showed fine resource all throug" h, and Herbert, too, was calm and collected. Oliver was ever useful, and Ka,radanis improved in the second half. The Welsh goalkeeper was very sound. After the m.a-tch both teams were enter- | tained to a banquet at the Workmen's Institute. OTHER RESULTS The Llwynypia Premier Team (P. Carpy, W. Furid, W. T.

to PEAFY V. COOK THE POLAR CONTROVERSY Return of the Roosevelti MEN PITIFULLY THIN AND I WEAKLY ST. JOHN'S (Newfoundland), Saturday. I The stoainer Taff, laden with fish, arriv-ed iere tonight from Battle Harbour, where she tnet Commander Peary's ship Roosevelt last Thursday. Captain Neilsen says he had a long conversation with Commander Peary, ind. heard the story cf his journey to the Pole from Commander Peary's own lips, corroborated by comrades who accompanied the explorer. The captain was also assured that Commander Peary had the needful scientific eridence to convince all the world's geographical societies, wnich he had already notified of his success. The members of the expedition emphatically decla-e th.a,t Dr. Cook had never been neoa,r tbj Pole, also that Commander Peary had evidence from Dr. C'cc^'s ov> n Eskimos that he only went a few marches from the main- land. Captain Neilscn expresses the belief that Commander Peary intends when he Tea-ches America to make a strong effort to Prove that Dr. Cook's statements are in-correct. .All on board the Roosevelt were well, but Pitifully thin and wctikly. It was found Bocc-ssary to have twenty men from Battle Harbcur to clean, coaJ, and re-fit the ship, which will remain there a fortnight. The fioosevelt struck a rock while entering Battle Harbour and remained aground until hiffh tide, when she re-floated apparently Qndama-ged. The famous ship, however, has been roughly bandied by the Arctic elements. The vessel and Crew make a gruesome picture, ehowing the •rrduous nature of Pt.-lar expeditions. In the rigging were fifty musk ox and reindeer Ifceads, while the hold contained a valuable Store of furs. About the deck were twelve dogs, the only survivors of 256 taken by the Expedition at the outset.-Prees Association ¡ Foreign Special. Dr. Cook's Departure CHKIiSTIAXSUXD, Saturday. Beplying to the burgomaster's speech of Welcome on his arrival here on his way to America to-day, Dr. Cook said: "No explorer can receive greater honour than the homage cf a people that understands him. In Nor- way there arc many Arctic, explorers, some of whom are among my best friends. One of the first young men that 1 worked together with was Egvind Astrup. I admire the eaergy and scientific accuracy of Dr. Nansen. As for Captain gverdrap. I only made his acquaintance during the last few days, while --iianndsen is my old friend. No modern Arctic research can be begun with- out knowing Nansen. With rare competence and genius, he has made himself one of the frentcst explorers of the world. "After reading Sverdrup's book, 'New L4.nd: I discerned a. new route to the North Pole, but ilentiorl ed it to nobody. I was impelled to try this route. Commander Peary seemed angry because I did not ask his leave. I am obliged to Sverdrnp and his companions. Captain Amundsen is preparing to undertake a fresh Polar expedition. He is the man for such a work. Perhaps it will he said, As the Pole has already been ^ea-ched, why another expedition?' The Pole has certainly been reached, but a lot ha- hfmi left for Amundsen and coming generations to do. The neit great problem j i. an oceanographical one. This will be Amundsen's task, with the help of the whole World. Another problem is the study of tha origin of the Eskimos. A Danish expedition, tinder M. Knli-d RSftmussen, is tackling this task. llasihussen enjoys absolute confidence. YOTI are reviving rcc here with open arms. Your welcome greeting has the honest clang of friendship. I aifl glad to say that Nancen Sverdrup, Amundien, and the Norwegian nation can claim a great deal of the honotir of the conquest of the Pole." After the burgomaster's speech the Ameri- can National Anthem was played by the fond, and after Dr. Cook's speech the Nor- -#ginii Anthem was played. The whole town was decorated with flags, and on Dr. Cook's arrival On the steamship Melchior the Oscar II., which is taking him to New York, and Iva. dressed with bunting for the occasion, fired a sa.lute. At 12.30 p.m. the explorer went on board the ) Oscar II., which sailed immediately after-!

I Britain & the South Pole CAPT. SCOTT TO LEAD NEW EXPEDITION The new British Aotarctie expedition, which is to be oa-mmandod by Captain Robert F. Scott, will lc?ave next July. The expedition will have two bages. One will bo in MacMurdo Sound and the other in King Edward VII. Land, if that point can be reached. The expedition will endeavour not only to I reach the South Pole, but also to accomiplish valuable geographical work in King Eclwa-rd VII. Land, whi-ch is now quite an unknown r£;f!1on. Ca-ptain Scott is at present engaged at the Admiralty, He commanded th.3 famous Ant- arctic expedition in the Discovery from 1931 to 1934, towards which the Government con- tributed £ 45,000. Lieutenant Sha-ckleton served under Cap- tain Scott in that expedition, but was ) ;nnÜi,d.ed home owing to the development of lung trc-u-ble. i

iNurses at loggerheadsl ;D -¡" j FRICTION AT BRIDGEND WORKHOUSE The Bridgend Board of Guardians on Satur- I day (Mr. John HowelLs presiding) received a letter from Nurse C. E. Banks complaining of the behaviour of Nnree Broughton (the superintendent), who she described as vindic- tive. Nurse M. A. Atkins wrote that Nurse Broughton's conduct towards her had been very unpleasant, and she could not be expected to das-charge her duties efficiently if such treatment was to be allowed to continue. 1 SCuivh! e house committee raporte-d that they j had carefully inquired into the cil-cuin- stances, and found that the two nurses had ) su;)stantiRt-e-d their grievances, the COlll- mntees report concluding: "We, therefore, reluctantly beg to recommend the board to ask t,be superintendent nurse to resign, as this, in their opinion, is the mean" cf maintaining poace and discipline at the iniir- mary." ( Rev. T. B. Phillips (one of the com- mittee) proposed the adoption of the report. Colonel Turbervill said Nurse Broughton had been in th. service of the board for eight years, and, whatever her faults, it could be said that she was kind to the patients. Having regard to the small attendance at the. committee meeting and the drastic nature- of the report—it was tantamount to a dismissaJ -he prq)Q&d that a .peehl committee b'3 appointed.—This wa.s seconded by Mr. J. Canmiff, who thought the board should try to tenmor justic.e with mercy. The Rev. Eynon Lewis, while not opposing the amendment, said there had been can- tinuous friction at the infirmary from year to year. The amendment was agreed to, and a com- I mittee of eleven ap.podnt<Jd.

Claim to a Peerage I i ECHO OF A GRETNA CBEEN MARRIAGE I A very remarkable peerage case, inVOlving'j the legality of a Gretna Green marriage, will BhorUy be heard in the Scottish Courts. It will be brought at the instance of inv. j Alexander Bosville, of Thorpe Hall, Bridling- ton Quay, Yorkshire, who challenges t|lie right of the present Lord Macdonald, other- wise known as the Lord of the Isles," to his peerage and estates. In the opening. years of last century the third Lord Macdonald made n, romantic ma:-riage with the daughter of the D-uke of Gloucester and Lady Almeria Carpenter, daughter of thejast. Marquess of Tyrconnel. This lady, who went by the name of Farley Edsir, died in Holyrood j. -alac-9 in the early part of the century. Lord Macdonald and the lady lied to Gretna Green, where they were married. They had two children, a son and a. daughter. The daughter became Countess of Ho-pctoum, and was the gre^t- grand-daughter of the present Lord Linlith- gow. After the birth of her two children Lad) Macdonald insisted on being re-married in the Church in England. This action apparently caused the former marriage to become null, and deprived the two elder chil- dren of the advantage of having been born in wedlock. The elder son, Mr. Alexander Macdonald, took the name of Bosville on inheriting from a relative large estates in Yorkshire. The Second son, Godfrey, who was born in 1809, after the marriage in England,. suc- l c«eded to the peerage and the estates in Skye. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Soinerled, on whose death in Edinburgh thirty-five years ago th^ title passed to his younger brother, Mr. Ronald Macdonald, who now holds it. The claimant in the case now to be heard is the grandson of the disinherited Alexander Macdonald or Bosville.

Lusitania and Fishguaid i -iO» i.— | CONTINENTAL PASSENGERS THROUGH I TO DOVER The interesting facts detailed about the recent visit of the Mauretania. to Fishguard have whetted the public appetite for news of the progress of the new Welsh port of call for Transatlantic traffic, and to-day's initial visit of the Lusitania. is anticipa-ted with a remarkable amount of interest. This inte- rest is heightened by the record-breaking performances of the rival liners. It was anticipated that the Lusitania would arrive about noon to-day, but information received by the Cunard officials on Saturday seems to indicate that she will not reach Fishguard till four or five o'clock, owing to the high winds against her. She will land about two hundred passengers and 927 sacks of mails, for dealing with which at Fishguard arrange- ments have been still further improved. The Bteamship Great Western will act as mail tender a.nd a.gain transfer the ba-gs to the train alongside the ocean quay, whilst the steamship Pembroke and the steamship Sir Francis Drake will transfer baggage and I passengers respectively to the harbour station quay. Lord Churchill, chairman of the Great Western Railway Company, arrived at Good- wick on Saturday, a.nd on Sunday afternoon two special expresses, which will be used to- day, came through from Paddington, con- veying Mr. J. Morris, superintendent of the line; Mr. C. Aldington, assistant-superinten- dent of the line; Mr. J. Vaughan Williams, assistant to the superintendent of the lino; Mr. John Rees, divisional superintendent, Swansea; Mr. C. J. Churchward, (ihief loco- motive superintendent; .:111'. W. H. Williams, locomotive superintendent, and other officials, whilst on the spot also are the following officials of the Cunard Company:—Mr. Litch- field. assistant general niana-ger; Mr. S. J. Lister, general passenger iru peri nten dent; Captain Dodd, marine superintendent; Mr. Bailey, secretary, and Mr Wertheimer, Con- tinental manager, who will take charge of the passengers for the Continent, for whom on this occasion will be provided special I coachee on the second express, and who will at Southall branch off the London route for Dover.

I COALFIELD CLOUD. Men and Bonus Term., FEDERATION MEETING TO-DAY For the first time since the publication of the South Wales coalowners' circular last week the representatives of the workmen who a.re members of the executive council of the Miners' Federation will have an oppor- tunity to-day of discussing the oritical situa- tion created by the ihsue of that circular. A I meeting of the executive will be held at Car- diff to-day, and, as Maban and his colleagues returned o.n Saturday from the Trades Union Congress at Ipswich, there will, probably, be a iuil attendance. In common with everybody else the men' leaders cannot I-a-il to realise that the posi- tion is critical, there being no ambiguity about the two alternatives put forward by the coalowneivj, viz.: — (1) The giving of notices on October 1 to ail the workmen at the associated col- Lories to terminate their contracts on October 31; ol-, (2) The giving of such notice to the work- men at all collieries where the owners desire to introduce afternoon shifts and can only att-iiin that object by the pay- meat of si;: turns i'.)I' five. Tho biggest bone of contention for the moment is the payment cf the bonus turn demanded by the men and refmsod by the owners, but there a.re other outstanding questions of equal. if not of greater import- j a-nce, a-nd these will have to be satisfactorily "LLleo, L,n d wili h a adjusted before tliore can be any real and lasting peace in the South Wales coalfield. In regard to the afternoon shifts the mem- here of the Coalownora' Association feel strongly that the workmen have net acted and are not acting up to the pro- by their representatives an part of tho eattlornent of June 30 that they would render all the assistance pos- sible to the owners in the matter of giving the new Eight Hours Act a fair trial until the time came for making a new agreement in March next. The owners complain that instead of giving that assistance the work- men and their representatives are placing every obstacle in the way of working the c,ver yobstacle in the A- i y of working the [ The overtime sub-committee, which consists of an equal number of representatives of the two sections of the Conciliation Board, has twice failed to agree on this question of the bonus turn, and it is no secret that the owners are in a state of exasperation and that their forbearance has reached breaking point. The inevitable result of this has been a renewal of the feeling of insecurity which prevailed while negotiations were proceeding to bring about the settlement of June 30. At to-day's meeting of the Federation Executive the whole position will, pro- bably, be discussed in all its aspects, so that the workmen's representatives may be all the more fully proparep. to meet the coal- owners' representatives at next Friday's meeting of the Conciliation Board. What- ever will be done at thM meeting will form the subject of serious consideration by a meeting of the Coalowners" Association on the following day (Saturday), and, in all probability, the line of action to be adopted will be finally settled at. t-bat Terms Rejected at Ciyti Colliery A meeting of the workmen who were employed at the Ebbw Vale Company's Giyn Colliery, Pontypool, prior to the lock-out, which occurred a-bout two months ago, was held on Saturday.

Crowd Board a Vessel I RUSSIAN LAOS IN IRONS I Exciting scenes were witnessed at Bideford Quay on Saturday in connection with the crew of the schooner Setti, of Riga, which arrived with timber. The vessel is manned by Captain Kadakas and the mate and half- a-dozen youngsters from fifteen to twenty years old. When the lads were put to the task of helping to unload they could not keep pace with the local stevedores, and three of them refused to work and went ashore, alleging to the police and harbour authorities that they had been underfed and ill-treated on the voyage. The lads went aboard again, and the captain and the mate went to put them in irons. They succeeded with two, but the third escaped a.shor.e, and ran to the harbour master's office. bleeding from the mouth. Nothing could induce him to go back. A hostile crowd lined the quayside, and a collection was made to enable the youth to reach Cardiff to put his ase before the Russian Consul. Before leaving the lad bought a loaf and got it in to his handcuffed pomrades. The crowd got the impression that the loaf had been taken from them, and, taking advan- tage of the captain going to the cabin, they boarded the vessel, and soon the two men, with their handcuffs broken, were hustled out of the ship and taken away to have the remains of the irons filed off. The polioe did not interpose. A local magistrate and a police-sergeant had previously interviewed the captain. He denied all the allegations of ill-treatment, said the men would not work, and that h handcuffed them to prevent them deserting. The -three men will be sent to Cardiff. It was re-called that there were similar allega- tions in regard to a Russian vessel at Teign- mouth about a year ago, and one of the men jumped overboard while handcuffed in an endeavour to escape from the ship.

I Budget Crisis Views. REPLIES TO LORD ROSEBERY 'S SPEECH Lord Rosebery's speech at Glasgow on Friday has aroused the keenest interest throughout the country, and is regarded as sealing the fate of the Budget. Many oificial Liberals on Saturday made reply to the ex-Liberal Prime Minister's attack on the Budget. Mr. Lloyd-George characteris-ed the speech as "a soft-nosed torpedo." The Lord Advo- cate (Mr. Ure) referred to it as hopelessly ineffective, futile, harmless, and vain." The Master of Elibank in a letter said, I deeply regret finally to leave my old lea, Mr. Gulland, M.P., the Scottish Whip, referred to the retlreiT raven. croaking on his ithered branch," whilst 1>r. Macnamara drew a parallel with "rrho Jackdaw of Rheims." It is authoritatively stated that Lord Roee- bery resigned the presidency of the Liberal League before the delivery of his speech at Glasgow. A Soft-Nosed Toroedo 'Mr. Lloyd George was interviewed at his house at Brighton on Saturday, to gather his views on Lord Rosebery's speech. The Chan- cellor did not appear greatly affected by the attack on the Budget, as he expressed him- seif as follows:- There is really nothing fresh in Lord Rosebery's speech. He seems to have been a close student of Mr. Henry Chaplin's anti- Budget oratory. The speech is a poor re-hash of all the charges brought by Mr. Chaplin and his friends against the Budget during the past four or five mouths, without any new flavour or seasoning. And when I come to the end of the speech and find Lord Eosebery warning the Lords not to throw out the Budget—which he calls revo- lutionary, Socialistic, and destructive to British interests-I wondered what on earth he went to Glasgow for. I think the whole speech is what is called in sham naval fight.s a soft-nosed torpedo." Futile, Harmless, Vain." I The Lord Advocate (Mr. Ure), speaking at Coventry on; Saturday, said that as an attack on the Budget Lord Rosebery's speech was "hopelessly ineffective, futile, harmless, and vain." lie had read the speech and wa-s in a better position to offer an opinion on it because Lord Eosebery was a man for whom he still retained the highest respect and per- sonal regard. The reason why he said the speech was harmless and ineffective, the reason why he went further and said that it was the greatest help the Budget had yet received; was this, that there were only two ways in which they could atta-ck the Bud- get; they could either say that the expendi- ture was wrong and was not to. be incurred, or "This is not the right way to get your money; I will show you a better way." Lord Rosebery did not say either. He (Mr. Ure) said that if a statesman so full of knowledge, [ so rich in experience, so experienced in the I conduct of public affairs, was unable to I challenge a single item of their expenditure, and, on the other ha.nd, wa.s hopelessly unable to tell how otherwise to raise the money; if a man of Lord Rosebery's expe- rience and knowledge had nothing to say against the objects to which they wore going to devote the money and had no hint to give them as to the method by which they should raise the money, it was clear that he knew in his heart, just as Lord Rothschild and the great bankers and financiers knew, that this was the only just a.nd fair method by which they could secure the necessary mil- lions. Alluding to the undeveloped land taxes, he said he would defy any man who read Lord Rosebery's speech to find out from it that the Finance Bill did not touch agricultural land at all. He did not for a moment sug- I g-est that Txyrd Rosebery was deliberately deceiving his fellow-citizens in Glasgow. He (Mr. Uro) maintained that the bare land owed none of its value 4) what its owner did or spent upon it. but Lord Rosebery Con- tended that it owed all its value to what its owner did or spent. Bare land owed all its value exclusively and solely to the exertions of the community. He observed that Lord Rosebery took great umbrage at him as if lie had suggested that his lordship or his brother peers would clf) all they could to conceal their possessions from the tax-col- lector. He suggested nothing of the sort; but, speaking from a very wide experience, he could say that there was no region in which the Scriptural maxim. "Bear ye one another's burdens," was more flagrantly dis- regarded than in the region of taxation. I My Oid Leader." I In connection with a Budget demonstration in Edinburgh on Saturday, the following message was addressed to the organising secretary of the Midlothian Liberal Associa- tion by the Master of Elibank:- Best wishes for the tsucceps of your Budget demonst.ration to-day. Deeply regret finally to leave my old leader, under whom I fought West Edinburgh and Peebles in 1894 and 1895, and from whom, in spite of the differences on the Boer war, I have received constant and Courteous consideration. But Lord Robbery's challenge should be taken up by all Scottish Radicals. I shall fight Midlothian when the time comes on (1) The issues laid down in Friday's Glas- gow speech; (2) The rejection, on Lord Roeebery's instigation, by the House of Lords of the Scottish Landowners Bill, a measure demanded by the Scottish people and voted for by the overwhelming majority of her representatives in the House of Commons, and supported a.t a remarkable series of bye-elections; (3) The Prime Minister's constructive policy of social reform, together with the achievements of the Campbell-Ban-nernian- Asquith Ministry at home and across the seas; (4) The firm maintenance of free exchange and fiscal liberty; (5) Home Rule for Scotland and Ireland; (6) The supreme and clamant issue of the Constitutional relations between a small and hereditary body of political perma- nent partisans and the democracies of the Empire. Tell the men of Midlothgan I look to them to support me. The Solicitor-General (Mr. Dewar) criticised the recent utterance of Lord Roeebery, and declared that if the taxation of land values was a revolution his rordship himself recom- mended it when he was chairman of the London County ^Council. The alternative to the Budget was a shameful one. It was to tax the food of the poor. Mr. Gulland, M.P., also alluded to "the retired raven, croaking on his withered branch." Lord Rosebery appealed for jus- tice. That was the basis upon which the whole Budget was founded. If the Lords threw out the Budget they raised an issue which might cost them their coronets. A mandate must be received, not only to carry the FinaJice Bill, but to curb permanently the cruel a-nd blighting power of the Lords. ) A Nasty Smack for Mr. Churchill I A correspondent (says the "Glasgow I Herald") has called the attention of Lord Knollys, his Majesty's private secretary, to I the report of a speech delivered at Leicester by Mr. Winston Churchill, President of the Board of Trade. According to the "Times" report, Mr. Winston Churchill said:- It is quite true that Mr. Balfour from time to time emits four to five columns of insipid equivocation which the newspapers whose proprietors he has taken the precau- tion to make into barons hasten to claim as another epoch-making pronouncement The following is Lord Knollys's reply:- "Craig Gowan, Balmoral, N.B. Sir, In reply to your letter of yesterday's date I beg to inform you that notwithstand- ing Mr. Winston Churchill's statement, the creation of peers remain a Royal preroga- tive. "KNOLLYS." Ministerial Tactics I In an article dealing with the marked change in Ministerial tactics on the Budget, the "Observer" gays that the object in Unionist opinion is twofold:—(1) "To queer the pitch for Mr. Balfour at Bingley- hall and to prevent the clear lead for which the Unionist party is waiting by postponing the moment at which It will become decent for the Peers to pronounce upon the Budget as a whole; (2) to make as short as possible the interval between the probable crisis and a general election, if one f-houid be unavoid- able. In other words, the idea is to advance the new register and dissolve in November. Another point is that the suicidal course of smashing the machine" is advocated by many Radical members. The policy of smashing the machine" would probably ruin its authors in-any case. But it would only be possible in connection with a Novem- ber dissolution and an electoral campaign as sudden and swift as possible. After Lord Rosebery's speech Unionist experts think it likely that the Opposition would come back at the worst nearly as strong as all other sections of the House put together. This would mean success. Mr. H. W. Lucy, writing on the same topic in the Observer," says that, assuming after I full deliberation the House of 1-ords shrink from the grave responsibilities of fighting the Commons oil this particular field, it does not neoessarily follow that dipsolution will not have been decreed before the New Year is a month old. The Ministry have not yet com- pleted their fourth year. Into that period, more especially in the current session, they have crowded more accomplished work than earlier Parliaments can parallel. Compared with the achievements of this sx-sion, the one that follows must needs partake of the character of anti-climax. It is already ear- marked by promise that the Welsh Disestab- lishment Bill shall have the first p!a,"c in its consideration. The mere giving of such a pledce suggests that the astute Minister responsible for it had clear impression in his n«l»d that no Mth tee?on would d&wn for jthBut?eaMi? H<M6<?jcf Commons.

I Sporting Mems for Week Shrite has increased his weight to 8st 21b for the Autumn Breeders' Foal Plate at Manchester n-ext; Friday. Bouncing Bess, 6yrs, by St. Gris-Arriot, has left Ca-ptiaki DewhurE,t's etobies for the Limerick Stud Farm, Ireland. Future Peeress, 2yr6, by Love WiseJy- Opera., has Jei-t Sadler, junior's, training establishment lor Sawbridgevvorth. Mr. J. E. Widener, who took a few steeple- chasers to France this year, is about to return to the States and resume racing there. It is said that Ransch, the American jockey, who has been rid^iig in France lor Mr. J. Hennery, is about to return to America. By winning the Westmoreland Welter, Ag-glethorp has incurred a !Cib penalty lor the Annan Welter at Ayr next Friday, raising his burden to 12st 101b. Mr. D. II. Gibb. the owner of Star of Doc-n. has been seriously ill during the last two months, but the late",t re-port states that he has slightly improved during this week. Herr Drehe-r, the "BBr King-" of Vienna, is a generous master. To mark his satisfac- tion J t winning the Koenigin Elisabeth Preis with Kerr Goed, he gave his jockey Hewitt a present of £ 2C0- We are authoritatively informed that there is no truth whatever in the rumour that Bayardo, the Ht. Leger winner, has b-ten sold to Sir William Although Mr. R. Mills bestowod the name of Sanhedrin on his Israelite filly early in ■t<he week, and the official notification of the same was given in the special Calendar" issued on Wednesday last, the filly was un- named on the card at DoJicaster yesterday. The leading position* in the winning sires list is new occupied by Bay Ronald, tha-ivks to the successes of Bayardo, with a total of £29,812, Cyllen-e with his previous week's figures, comes next, then follow Gal,i- nule £ 17,147, Marco £15,0%, Persimmon £ 13,900, and Sa-ger £ 13,283. The course at Mamclieater has never been in better order than at the present time, and a suooesriul gathering is anticipated at Castle Irwell next week. Of the leading jockeys the mounts of D. -Ma.h.el- have, during the past week, proved the most profitable to follow, a sovereign, on eac-h of his seventeen e.;],g¡a.ge<moE.nte showing £ 8 17s. 8d. to the goc-d. jsaxby's twelve rides yield a balance of £ 3 6s. 8d., Trigg, with Jt2, being the ctnly other to &how a return on the right ride. Viscount Cole, the son ar,d heir to the Earl of Enniskillcn, celebrated his thirty- third birthday yesterday. The most successful jockey of the week hae been D. Maher, who has secured half a dozen wins, F. Wootiton coming next with f1:yu.r, H,iggs and Saxby three apiece, while Trigg has secured a couple. The Epsom youngster has thus increased his winning aggregate to 106, Maher moves up to 78, and Higgs has reached 71. 8axlby and Trigg are the o:nly ether riders, as yet. who have pastsed the half-centua<ry, the Fox-hill sta.ble jockey having ga,ined 57 successes and Trigg 52. One of the most interesting events of the coming week's heavy l-a-cing wm be the meeting of the crack North Country juve- niles, Helot and Stolen Kiss, in the West of Scotland Foal Stakes on Wednesday. M'Cali, the trainer of Helot, is fairly confident of beating the filly, but the best information points to STOLEN KIS^S, vho can stay the six furlongs better than the Scottish candi- date. At the &ame meeting SIR HARRY will be worth attention, in t.he Ayrshire Handi- cap, whilst COUNTERS OF DESMOND OF II)E;?MO, N-D wi,i 't win the Craigengillen Plate. At Manchester CHARLES O'MALLEY, in the Autumn Breeders' Foal Stakes, reads "ke a good thing; whilst CHRISTMAS DAISY, with-a. win, should supplement his Peveril of the Peak success, by winning t.he Prince Edward Handicap. In addition to the above, the following horses may be recommended for the week:- WFUTE EAG-LE. GOLDEN HARVEST. WHEATKAR. MORENA. SUNSPOT. PROSPBCT 0 R. SPUME. ACCURATE.

FROM THE "WESTERN MAIL." I A big crowd on the northern slopes at Musrwell Hill witnessed sport in the Metro- politan district for the first time last week. Exeiting finishes were the rule, and only the judge could say with certainty which of those lea?din? won the Finsbury Mid-weight Handicap, his verdict going to Baker's Boy. Ahalative and Myram achieved a remunera- tive double for Fallon's stable. A good crowd witnessed some capital sport at Hull. Here Maher had a nice double, and his successes were very popular, as his mounts, Chrisstine and Symon's Pride, were the only two favourites to score.- A busy week's raoing starts in the Midlands rtt Warwick to-day. Good sport is pro- mised, though fields may not reach the pro- portions we expect at this time of the year.

Notes and Selections. WARWICK, Monday Morning. The going- at Alexandra Park on Saturday was doci-dodly holding, and the afternoon turned out dull a.nd close, but a capit al com- pany patronised the proceedings, and fields were of goodly proportions. Sungauge was a, pronounced favourite for the Finsbury Mid-weight Handicap, but never flattered at any part of the race, which fell to Baker's Boy after a close finish with Runbir. To-day Warwick begins a heavy week's racing, and interesting sport is promised. Fields are likely to be above the average, the "going" being considered good. The chief itean on the card, the Warwick Handicap Plate, should fall to MORENA, and some of the other events to the follow i ng selection s — Kenilworth PI-tte.-GOLDEN DREAM. Arden Plate. GASTON IA.
