PEMBROKE BOROUGHS. I
PEMBROKE BOROUGHS. I SIR G. ARMSTRONG ASKED TO I STAND AGAIN. A meeting of the executive committee of the Pembroke and Haverfordwest Conserva- tive Association held at Neyland on Thurs- day was the best attended of any held for many years. A cordial vote of thanks was passed to Sir George Armstrong for the excellent fight he made in the recent elec- tion, and a hearty invitation was extended to Rjim to stand again. It was the unani- mous opinion that the boroughs had never had a better candidate. MR. CHURCHILL ON LIBERAL LOSSES. Speaking in Frome Market. plaoo on Thursday afternoon, Mr. Churchill said the Liberals had not the slightest reason to be discouraged. The Liberal Government would be returned to power with a majority of over 120. They had had their losses as well as their gains, but there must be ups and downs in every well-fought fight, and good sportsmen should take winnings and losings with good temper and good courage. MR. BEAUMONT THOMAS'S CHALLENGE. Writing from Lydney Tin works under date the 26th inst., Mr. Thomas has circularised the whole division in a pamphlet which nas created a deal of interest. He says:U it can be proved before any High Court or county-oourt judge (to be chosen by the can- didates for this division) that after Tariff Reform has come into and been iu operation for twelve months that the price of food has increased through and in consequence of such Tariff Reform I will make good any such increase to any workman in my Lydney ajid Lydhrook Works, or to any working man in any other portion of the Forest of Dean (if Sir Charles Dilke will allow me), and I pledge myself accordingly. I am satisfied that the increase in the employment of my work- people under Tariff Reform wdll be enor- mous. "It must be clearly undcTstooù that I do not make this statement for the purpose of influencing any Parliamentary voters at this elec.tion, but merely as a reply to the taunts of people who impute base motives to Tariff Reformers, and to back tup my often publicly expressed opinions. "This offer to remain good until the next general ejection." CARDIFF VOTERS' VOYAGE TO DEVON DIVISION. The tug Faloon, owned by Mr. Edmund Hancock, on Thursday left Cardiff for Ilfra?ombe with a party of about twenty Cardiff a.nd Barry gentlemen who were pro- ceeding to Ilfracombe to vote in the Barn- staple Division of Devon for the Conservative candidate. THE KING AND OPENING OF PAR- LIAMENT. The King and Queen are to remain at Windsor Castle till the beginning of next week. The King will then go to London for consultations with his Ministers, who wiU be holding a series of Cabinet 00 œn oils. M.R. Asquith is expected to Teturn to-day. In the circumstances his Majesty's plans will be determined to some extent by the political conditions. No definite airrange- meute bare yet been made for the King's usual spring visit to the Continent. After opening Parliament in State on Tuesday fortnight, he will again visit Brighton. Should he decide to go abroad, he will once more visit Biarritz. The date provisionally fixed for his departute is March 3. The King is expected to leave Victoria for Brighton on the afternoon of Friday, FEBRUARY 4. He will again be the guest for a few days of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Sassooa, and desires the visit to be considered as private. Ifr. Oharohill, speaJring at Melksha-m on Thumday night, said that to say faat Tariff Beform would cure unemployment was reak- low and unscrupulous. The system of LaJbaur Exchangee WAS a m2oro sensible way of dealing with unemployment. They must reedfit putting- taxes on bread and meat, which were vicious, foolish, and wrong taxes, BECAUSE they fell so much more on the poor fAha.n the ricCi.
Heavy Rain -FallsI
Heavy Rain Falls I FLOODED PARISIAN &' flEETS PARIS, Friday. At five o'clock this morning rain re-eom- menoed to fall heavily here Should it con- tinue for long the situation must become still more desperate, but in the meantime the authorities are disposed to be optimistic, AND to predict the carly teamanation of the floods, especially as the Upper Seine is still failing steadily. At two o'clock in the morning the water began to pour over the parapet of tho Quai De La Conference, the riverside roadway stretching from the Plaoe De La Concorde to the Pont D' Alma and the invasion of Champs Elyseefi began on the opposite side of the river, the great open space known as the Esplanade Des Invalides now presents the appearance of a. lake being wholly SUB- merged.

WARSHIP'S PERIL
WARSHIP'S PERIL DRIVEN ASHORE IN A GALE I May Go To Pieces. ALARMING MISHAP OFF DOVER I A Dover correspondent telegraphs that a destroyer, believed to be the Eden, is ashore to the east of Dover. She has gone hard up, almost touching the new sea wall, and being broadside to the sea the waves are straining her badly. The battleship Albemarle is showing her aearcbligh-t. and the tugs Lady Vita and Orundall are standing by, as also are the coastguarde with life-saving apparatus. How she got ashore or whether she broke adrift is unknown. A gale is blowing, aocom- panied by eleet. The men are all on deck. A telegram despatched from Dover at 6.15 tliis morning confirms earlier report's of the destroyer Eden having gone ashore close to the sea wall east of the port. A-bout seventy men have been landed by means of the Breeches buoy. The Eden, it appears, had been lying moored to one of the Adimiralty- buoys, and broke adrift owing to the heavy seas produced by the wind flying round into the north, it being impossible to get up steam in time to save her. Her position after going ashore was for some time one of great peril, as it appeared probable that she would roll com- pletely over, but eventually she settled in such a way that at low tide she will be high and dry. Men were then sent on board to jettison the coal, in order to lighten her, in view of attempts at re-floating, but it is reported that the vessel is damaged below the water-line and is leaking. Shonld it prove impossible to get the 1 destroyer off before the next high tide, with the same heavy weather prevailing, it is feared ehe will go to pieces. Crew Landed I A later telegram says that all the crew, numbering 40, were landed by the Breeches buoy. There was no panic, amd one burly sailor, while divesting himself 01 his lifebelt, en reaching shore was singing "I EHAN t go home to-night." The mishap occurred ,Lk- i nf.l' alctirift from her through the Eden breaking adrift from her moorings, and before she oould get UP steaim she was close to the shore. I
Not Drunk, But Dying.
Not Drunk, But Dying. MOST DlFFIGi.iT CASE TO DIAGNOSE I Curious evidence was given at the London City corotlw,.s-oourt yesterday, during an inquest on the body of George William Prinoe (41), a newsvendor, who had died in St. Bartholomew's Hospital Deceased was suddenly taken ill, and removed by the polioo to the hospital, whence he was afterwards taken to a, police-station. The polioe sur- geon, however, advised that he should be taken back to the hospital, where he died next morning. The widow said that when sfhe went to the hospital on Monday evening she saw her hus- band brought out of the surgery on an am- bulance, with a cloth over him. She said, "Good God! he is never dead?" The police- men who were carrying him LAUGHED and said, "No; he is speechless drunk. Follow on I to the station, and perhaps, by AND by, they will let you have bail." The constable who took the deceased to the hospital said that he thought the man had had an epileptic fit. A doctor at the hos- pital, aftor examining him, told the witness to take him away, as he was drun'JI. Inspector Bell, of Moor-lane Police-station, said that he did not think the deceased was drunk. Dr. C E. Heild. house physician at st.1 Bartholomew's Hospital, said that on admi& sion the doee? smelt strongly of alcohol. Witness asked him wha.t he had been drink- ing, and he replied "Whisky." After careful exa-mijiation witness came to the conclusion that the man was drunk. An hour later he was brought back with the polioe surgeon's certificate that he was suffering from cere- bral hemorrhage. There were symptoms then which were not preeon tbefore. Dr. Kearney, divisional surgeon to the city police, agreed that excessive drinking was tihe cause of cerebral hemornhag, and said it w,as possible for the symptoms to have developed after the man was sent away from the hospital. This class of case was the moat difficult a medical MAN met with, and THERE were no more difficult oases to diagnose. I The jury returned a verdict of "Death from I natural causes."
I _Missing Schoolmaster I
I Missing Schoolmaster I BRILLIANT BARRY MAN'S ABSENCE I The mysterious disappearance is reported from Beading of Mr. David John Lewis, one of the assistant masters at the Kendrick High School, who is a eon of Mr. Samuel Lewis, of Woodland-road, Barry. It appears tha.t Mr. Lewis, who is 25 years of age, left his lodgings after supper on Tues- day night, with the intention OF going for a walk, and notihing has been seen or heard of him since..The young man's family are well known and highly respected in the Barry district, and they are naturally distressed over his absence. Mr. Lewis has bad a remarkable scholastic career. Educated at Barry County School, he afterwards went to Aberystwyth College, where he gained high honours. Out of a large number of competitors he succeeded in winning an international scholarship for training at a college in Clermont Ferrand, France, and there he afterwards taught. Towards the END of last, year this brilliant young scholar gained his M.A. degree, and soon afterwards he was appointed aeeistant- inaster at the Reading Schools. QS late Mr. Lewis has taken up German,™ and the Christmas vacation he spent in Germany studying that language. In addition he is equally brilliant in English, Welsh, and Freneh. The deepest sympathy is felt, with the young man's PARENTS in their anxiety, and it is hoped that news will soon be received of his safety. Telegraphing to-day, our, Roading corre- spondent states that Mr. Lewis was engaged in HIS se-hola-stic duties at the school up to four o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, amd he proceeded home to his apartments in com- pany with a fellow-lodger. After supper, at eleven o'clock, Mr. Lewie said he was going out for a stroll, as was his custom. He did so and never returned, and has not been heard of since.

A Widow's -Generosity I
A Widow's Generosity HOW A FORTUNE DISAPPEARED A remarkable story was unfolded at Oxford Bankruptcy-court yesterday, when MRS. SARAH Royston Eykyn. widow, attended, upon her Public examination. Mrs. Eykyn said she estimated the liabili- ties expected to rank for dividend a.t £2,1<3, and she estimated that. her as.-etc would produce £ 3,171. Her husband died in October, 1892. Under this will she was thd scle residuary legatee. Her husband's estate was J Sworn on his death at £100,000. At the Lime of Mr. Eykyn's death she agreed voluntarily to give the five or pix children of Mr. Eykyn by a former wife half of her money, amount- ing to about They lived with her, subsequently contributing something to tho expenses. The income debtor had derived from the marriage settlement was about a year. She had given a very large aim of money.to br stop-children. They did not ask for it, out she considered it right the yshoulu have JT. A large sum of the other £ 50,000, THE said, had been expended in tho payment of the ebbts of her son, Itoger Eoyston Eykyn. She had paid his debts more than once. She did not consider now she was insolvent, and if her property were realised there would be more than enough to satisfy all the creditors. She had raised loans for her son, "who was ENGAGED wdth horses." He acted as a horse dealer. The Official Receiver pointed out that debtor's son must have bean living a.t an extravagant rate, and instead of refusing him money apparently she paid his debts. Was that so? Mrs. Eykyn replded that she paid her son's debts, but it was not to encourage him in extravagance. She did the best ilie could for him. It was not with the idea that he should continue with anything that was unneces- sary. When the paid the debts she thought he would be able to go on more wisely, but she now admitted she made a mistake. In the course of further examination by the Official Receiver, the debtor said she did not notice she had been charged £ 125 by moneylender for an introduction to a loan COMPANY. There was also a charge of JE150 fur a loan of L3,003 which she had from a company. The examination was adjourned, the debtor being directed to supply a cash account of I' moneys received and paid by her since November, 1908
I Merthyr & the County i II
Merthyr & the County i DISPUTED COMPENSATION PAYMENTS! THE case of the King v. Commissioners of Inland Revenue, ex parte Glamorgan Compensation Authority, ex parte Davies, caDle on for hearing in the King's Bench Division on Thursday—before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Phillimore and Buck- nil]-,or a rule nisi calling upon the Com- missioners of Inland Revenue to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue DIRECTED to them commanding them to hand over, in accordance with the Licensing Act, 1904, and the rules made thereunder, tho sum of £ 3,000, being part of the levy made by the Glamorgan Compensation Authority under Section 3 of the Act. There were other rules calling upon the justices of Glamorgan to show cause why a mandamus should not issue ordering to pay or cause to be paid to Elizabeth Ann Da\.et. being a. person, along with others, entitled to compensation upon the refusal to renew the licence of the King's Head Inn, in the BOROUGH of Merthyr Tydfil, the sum of 1470 10S, her share, as ascertained by the com- pensation authority, of the money agreed npen and approved as compensation payable °n too refusal to renew such licence; also to show cause why sums should not be paid to Charles Russell James, Thomas Johnes Llewellin, and Gwilym Christopher James, as trustees of the freehold estate of John George Llewellyn, deceased, upon the refusal to renew the licences for the Hog and Castle Inn, Dowlais, a.nd the Black Cock, both in the borough of Merthyr Tydfil, the sums of 1214 and £131 respectively. Also why they should not pay to David Evan Jones the sum of £ 478 in respect of the refusal to renew the licence of the Castle Inn, Dowla-is; also why they should not pay to Andrew Bucha.n 1769 in respect of compensa- tion for refusal to renew the licence of the Balance Inn, Merthyr. The Attorney-General and Mr. W. Finlay appeared on behalf of the Inland Revenue, to show cause against the first rule, which was supported by Mr. Danckwerts, K.C., Mr. Vaughan William6, and MR. E. R. Herbert. Mr. B. Francis-Williams, K.C. (with him Mr. Rea.se), also appeared in this rule for the county borough of Merthyr Tydfil. 2\1r. Danokwerts, K C (with him Mr. Ya-ughan Williams and Mr. Herbert), showed cause against the rules directed to the justices of Glamorgan; and the rules were supported by Mr. Eldon Bankes, K.C., and Mr. W. Mackenzie. The Solicito-r-fle-nexal, in showing cause in the first case, said in 1903 the Glamorgan Quarter Sessions imposed the fun maximum charge as compensation levy on all the exist- ing licensed houses in Merthyr. which was then part of the administrative COUNTY of GLAMORGAN. However, on April 1, 1908, a very considerable portion of Glamorgan was CARVED out of the county and constituted the county borough, of M-esrtihyr, and a (separate commission of the peace was appointed. The compensation became payable on October 10, 1908, when the licensing duties were claimed. In that month £ 3,000 was collected by the Inland Revenue in respect of the Merthyr houses, and, in November, 1908, under the constituted rule, the Inland REVENUE paid over the L3,000 to the body of Merthyr justices as the amount produced in the area of the Merthyr Tydfil County Borough. That he submitted was a perfectly proper payment. He contended tha.t the money had been properly paid to the Merthyr justices. Even if they had made a mistake they could not be called upon to pay it again. Mr. B. Francis-Williams said he should want his share. The Solicitor-General said the money was properly paid, Merthyr now being autono- mous for licensing purposes. Mr. Finlay followed on the same side. Mr. B. Francis-Williams said the only people who could make the levy had made it, AND it had been properly paid over. The Lord Chief Justice: What is the ground upon which Glamorgan want the money? Mr. B. Francis-Williams: They want to take it from the borough of Merthyr to com- pensate houses not in the borough, but else- where. Mr. Daawskwerts aaid the GLAMORGAN County Council made the levy, and the money should have been paid over to them instead of to Merthyr. who had no rigl*T or claim to it. The Lord Chief Justice said the court would hear the other rules before giving judgment. Mr. Danckwerts said he appeared to show cause against the rules in five of the other oases. The same principle was involved. The Lord Chief Justice: Why don't you pay this money? Mr. Danckwerts: Because my clients, the licensing authority of Glamorgan, have not the money. The Lord Chief Justice: Why have you not gone for adjustment? Mr. DANCKWERTS: On account of the action of the Inland Revenue authorities and the Merthyr people objecting. He submitted as a point of law the mandam-us could not lie, Deoanse there had been no refusal to pay. The Lord Chief Justice, in giving judg- ment, said that, regarding the first rule, he confessed he was uraable to -follow the sequence of that argument. Had things remained as they were, the money would have been paid to Glamorgan, not because they had fixed the levy, but because they were the proper authority, but now the county borough of Merthyr had succeeded them as the authority, and the properly constituted authority to m.e the levy and receive the money. The rule, therefore, must be discharged. Respecting the other rules, the Lord Chief Justice sa.id if the Glamorgan County Council were not in a position to pay the money awarded, they could not get relief there. There must be a return made, and a special case stated. But by affidavit and correspondence there was abundant evidence to show that the com- pensation a-uthority (the Glamorgan County Council), aiter aoconnts were due, and after the ruiles were obtained, had money enough to pay the compensation to the 1907 licences, including the Merthyr houses, but they had only ex-duded Merthyr from pay- ment because of the pending dispute. There was not sufficient evidence for the court to say the mandamus must not issue, and the application must be granted. An order was made that the compensation be paid within six weeks, including the salaries of the licensing officials.

WALES AT EBBW VALE Mr. Houghton, president of the Northern Union, who has been in the town since yes- terday, made an inspection of the Bridgend field, Ebbu- Vale, this morning, and found it to he in playing condition, so that the in- ternational match between England and VALES WILL take place to-morrow. Mr. Houghton wired to Mr. Platt, secretary of the Northern "Onion League, informing him of the condition, of the ground, a.nd the latter replied stating that the English team would leave Manchester at 3.30 this after- noon, and arrive at Newport at 9.30. making their headquarters at the King's Head. They will proceed to Ebbw Vale by early train to-morrow Mr. Hougliton later rec&ived a telegram from Mr. Piatt asking him to cancel all arrangements, but the Northern Unign pre- sident reojeated HIS message as to the fit state of the ground. However, at mid-day it was decided to post- pone the match. Although the ground is to- day playable, it recovered too late to permit arrangements to be satisfactorily made for to-morrow. Another date will be fixed, and the match will, of course, be played at Ebbw Yale.
The Welsh Coal CrisisI
The Welsh Coal Crisis DIFFICULTIES OFTHENEW AGREEMENT AS reported in our editions yesterday, the Conciliation Board for the Welsh coal trade met at the Engineers' Institute, Cardiff, for the purpose of making yet anoitther effort to commeii.ce negotiations for a new agree- ment. Both sides were well represented. Mr. W. J. Heppell presided over the owners' repre- sentatives, and Mr. William Brace, M.P., took the chair on the side of the workmen's repre- sentatives. The owners' representatives still con- tended very strongly t11a,t they were entitled to some relief in respect of the base wage of the workmen, consequent upon the increased cost of production. They further argued that, beoa,ring this fact in mind, the present selling price of 11s. lOd. per ton as the equivalent to 30 per cent. above the standard, in accordance with the award of Sir David Dale, was too small, and sub- mitted that figures conclusively proved that there should be an adjustment to the extent of the equivalent being raised to 12s. 4d. per ton for a minimum of 20 per cent. above the standard. This proposition the men's representatives contested, and, while putting forward a demand for the iising of the minimum at 40 per cent. on the existing standard, they expressed a readiness to enter into tho ques- tion of the cort of production. It was thus evide-it, that there was a very considerable divergence of opinion as to the merit of the respective proposals, the incom- patibility of which became only too apparent the more the matter was argued out by the parties. These different views, however, were not allowed to mar the friendly character of the discussion, wmoh. on the whole, was con- ducted in the best spirit possible. although very strong emphasis was laid by both sides as to the reasonableness of the arguments adduced in support of the conflicting conten- tions. As the day wore on, and the negotiators put their heads together, it seemed that a possible way out of the apparent impasse would eventually be found through a measure of bargaining in regard to the alteration of the equivalent. As an alternative to that put forwa.rd by the employers the workmen's representatives suggested the fixing of 12s. 6d. per ton as the equivalent selling price of coal to 40 per cent, above the standard, which they put forward as the minimum. This, it was pointed out, would be not far from that which obtained under the old sliding-scale agreement. The owners' representatives, however, explained that they were not prepared to enterta.in this alternative, and urged that they were entitled to more substantial con- cessions, consequent upon the serious increase in cost of production which had resulted through the operation of the Eight Hours Act. It also transpired that, with a view of arriving at a.n understanding upon this par- ticular point, a sub-committee of the work- men were now investigating the matter of the contentions raised by the owners with regard to the increased oost of production. It would, therefore, seem that until this sub- committee has concluded its work the men's representatives will hardly be able to suggest an.7 compromise. POSSIBILITY OF AN UNDERSTANDING. I Though up to the time of adjournment no agreem c-nt had, therefore, been come to, there was a feeling that the difficulty might ulti- mately be got over, and that at any rate some tentative understanding will be come to at the next meeting so as to proceed with the other proposals, and there was a general expreEsion of satisfaction with the trend of discussion on the whole. OFFICIAL REPORT. Mr. W. G. Dalziel issued the following short official report at the close of the day's pro- ceedings :— The Joint Conciliation Board aguin met to-day to resume the discussion of the owners' and workmen's proposals in reference to uhe revision of the Conciliation Board agreement, which expires on the 31st of March next, under the notice of termination given by the workmen's representatives. "The discussion during the whole of the day was confined to the consideration of the proposals of the respective sides in reg-ard to the minimum percentage of wages and the selling price to be equivalent thereto. The discussion was adjourned until next. Wednesday."
IBattler's Sarcasm. I
Battler's Sarcasm. SAYS WELSH NEVEH SHOWED PUNCH. The American papers have been pretty full of Fred Weighs recent chalIV9,0 to Battling Nelson, and just to get to the land lay for a possible contest, between the pair "Ta<d," of the New York "EHniDg Journal," wrote to the DIME and asked him the Straight ques- tion. 'Una is what oame back in reply:— "Ju?t a few lines bet ore starting (says the Sporting Lire") for the coast, where I am booked to fight Wolgraat on W ashing-ion S birthday. I suppose my decision to figh-t Wolgast first wall cause a great howl to go up from the other side, emanating from one Freddy Welsh, who proudly s-ports the title of 'iignt-weight cham- pion of Bngl:lnd'wha.en'r iÜat means. liut, believe me, if treddy- Welsh will just have a little patience and wait, he will get his chance aJ'toer \Volgast is salely placed in the discards. But (and please put that 'but' in capital letters) Mr. Pieddy Welsh is also barred from dictating to me. If there is going to be any dictating, I will do it. Welsh nas yet to piove that ho is of championship calibre. One of the essentials of a champion is a pUnh. "nd Welsh has iicver shown anything more than A chamois skin jab. Still, I am willing to pass that, but must insist upou the one condition which zLL! my ■contenders must meet before they can: ake a crack at the world's title. HE must Jbg" bt me forty-five round's, and nothing less. it they are unable to PTAIGE a forty-five r,->>?nd battle in Great Britain, then Great Britain must go without the pleasure of an inter- national championship fight. All the 23,000 dollar purses that could be gath-ered from 'the British mint would not- tempt me into a, battle where the distance was limited to less than forty-five rounds. I won the title at the Marathon distance, and, if I ever lose it, the Marathon distance wHl be the route. it, Besides, Welsh is gtting to be a bigger card every day-and I am responsible tor it. If there was no Battling Nelson to challenge, Welsh, Woigast, AND a few others would not get their names into the newspapers MT re often than does the sheriff of Oshkosb, Wis. The only way they can get good advertising IS to challenge Nelson; and, to tell the tr.Hh, I'm willing to help the poor suckers out if my na-me will do them aeny good. "But challenging and winning are two different things. They can challenge until their supply of superlatives is exhausted, but they must take hard five-ounce gloves to win the title. And Always between one F. Welsh and that title stands B. Nelson, just as young and just as durable as he ever was, and feeling exactly^ t wemy-three years old, even if some authorities rate me as having been born a few years prior to Bob Pitzsimmons and Bat Masterson. "And, reg-ard ing that 25,000 dollar purse, I would be foolish to fight on that basis, when one club has already offered me 20,000 dollars for my end alone. Before they can do busi- ness in a foreogn country they must kick in with 23,000 dollars, straight, place and show, for B. Nelson's end alone. I can get this amount, but the ONLY thing- that oloeks the way at present is Freddy Welsh's exor- bitant demands for his own end of the money. He wants as much as I ain L, ,,att i p --and I am a champion, while he is only a poor chal- lenger, who ought to be getting down on his knees for a. chance to be the leader of his class. "TIGER" SMITH'S VICTORY. I "Tiger" Smith, of MerthyT, beat Tom j Stokes in four rounds at Hull last ndght.
SCIENTIFIC SHOLE-HA'PENNYI
SCIENTIFIC SHOLE-HA'PENNY I William George Dorothy, of the Ship and Pilot public-house, Bermondsey-wall, was fined 20s. and three guineas costs at Tower- bridge Police-court yesterday for allowing gaming to ta.ke place on his licensed premises. Mr. Barker said that whist, cribbage, shove- ha'penny, and occasionally map, were played for drinks. It was obvious that the licensee knew what was taking place, because on one occasion a customer told h imtha.t he had lost two ogg." Mr. Wooton (defendant's counsel,): What is an ogg "? Mr. Barker: A shilling. Mr. Rose: I only know Og as the King of Bashan. Mr. Wooton said shove- ha'penny was a SCIENT#IO game. It was very like curling, and while in higher circles they used metal discs, in a waterside house like the defendant's they used halfpennies.

!Spring Handicaps I 4-
Spring Handicaps I 4- Granted that nowadays the entries and imposts for the Spring Handicaps are not awaited with the same serious spirit of inte- REST that they were a decade or so ATRO, they yet afford plenty of food for study oil the part of the racing public, and the la.test instalment of weights published in yester- day's heet calendar so far AS the Kpring Handicaps, are eon-cemed OAIUXCT fail but evoke criticism of gome sort or an other from BU.pj>c«sed siuaents of public form. Chief amongst the races for which the weisilts appear should be cited the L< noo4.M»nire Handicap, the Hrand JSA.tiona.1, the Lan<X\- shire Steeplechase, the GREAT Metropolitan, the Cky and Suburban, tho Queen's klrize, a-nd the Jubilee Handicap, AND giving PRIDE of place in these REMARKS to 10 THE CARHOLME VENTURE. k, ?_ I lor tiie simple reason t11a,t it llw", IW 0'" decided first, it MUST be ADMITTED that the | handicapper—AIR. vrd-llas pertormed his TAS.I caretully and well, and in awarding Uie rune-year-oid Iieaji Swift the top weight he HAS only started his eilort, from the position ;c<ralIy supposed. Considering his agetms J may not exactly be to the liking of theeyer- SREEN'S connectio-NS, but all the same it is a groat compliment to the ster'ing merit 01 the I'on of Child wie.k and Pa«quil, and should his owner, Mr. J. B. Joel, decide upon sending him to the post he is eure to be backed at some price or other. A margin of Sst. 4lb has been taken by the hitfidicapper t.o bring the supposed betl and worst horses together. l'ext in order to the veteran "Dean" figures the NAME of Sir MU.tiD ?ho ?11 b?ave & chance of meeting his two Cambridgeshire con- querol Christmas Daiey and Mu?Lapha. respectively on 1216 and 8ib bettr feims than when they met during the Houghton Week. Valens has b?en s?t to give his ,ta?)le com- panion, Mustapha, 3Jb, but if the home ei.timia.te of last yeoar is correct he will .scarcely be able to do so, and the gelding must have a big ehajioe, SUPPOSING be is pre- pared for the race. Arranmore, who ran SECOND MAT year to the Duke of Sparta with 7st. 61b. on HIS four-year-old beck, has now 111b more to earrj, AND this causes the five- year-old to meet Mr. A. C. Mandarasi's candi- date on 71b worse terms tha.n last March. The Tower has been awarded and next to him follows a.t a pound less the American Dp-Mrium. who. however, will, perhaps, be L>etter suit-ed to a course of two cr tbree furlongs shorte. Neither The Story nor Hay- den appear to be overburdened with 7st 1Mb to carry, whilst those handicapped at 21b less are Sunflower II., Norman ill., and Per- seus Ill., the last-mimed of which ran very well during the earlier porl of last year. The AGED Prcoope HAS come down a lot in the weights since he ran so well behind Dean Swift in the Liverpool Summer Cup of 1908. but we are afraid he is a thing of the past, even though he HAS only 7.st 61b to carry. Old China, Wajn.ba II., Temno-, a.nd Canonite have one and all been apportioned 7st 51b, but, to our thinking, Mr. A. P. Cunliffe's four-year-old will prove the beet of the lot at his weight. Lord Marcus Beresford can scarcely com plain at the impost ouE Hymettus, seeing that the six-year-old ha.s only 76t 3lb to carry, the same weight being apportioned Mr. James Burns' Desmond's Pride, Who, how- ever, would look more tempting- in a welter handicap, supposing he could have the assist- ance of the crack American horcema-n, Danny Maher. Kaffir Chief, who created a surprise by winning this race two years ago, has 81b LE&s to carry than he had on that oca,-ion. and an animaJ much more to our liking I Ednam, who carried the c-olo-urs of Mr. Cj, Nolan, to victory over WEN furlongs of the same track in the Great Tom Stake* last autumn. Electric Boy has been handicapped on a mark with last year's winner. Duke of Sparta, and Vigilance, the three having to carry 6st 131b, whilst Billy the Verger must have a chance with only 6st 101b on his six- year-old back, considering how cleverly he la-nded the Royal Hunt Cup two years ago. Were the race two or three furlongs shorter Juliet II. would appear to be not badly treated at 7st lib, and some there will be who think that Riverina has a chance on a mark with Forerunner II. at 6st 111b. As expected, the two three-year-olds. Sweet Hackness and Sandays Well, have been handicapped with the lowest impost of 6st, out they have not thit3 weight entirely to themselves, ac- other hoirses similarly treated can be named in the three four-year-olds Tocher, Monty, and Bonny Boy, besides the six-year-old Ro-severn. Again it may be stated that the handicap looks to be a very well framed one, and we have now only to await the acceptances, which will appear next AVedrtesday. THE GRAND NATIONAL. I Speculation has been rife for some time past as to how Mr. Topham would apportion the top weight in this popular cross-country event. The majority of the entries for it were regarded as being of such a moderate character that they had no pretension either to btay or jump the Aintree country. When last year Jerry M. wa's handicapped to con- cede 410 to Cackler Mr. Assheton-Smith took umbrage at the treatment of the pa-ir, and struck them out, together with Ha?y War and Rough Pup. Upon tWs occasion Jerry M. and Cackler hold the pride of place in the handicap with 12st 71b each, and it is pleasing to see that Mr. Topham has not placed a pro- hibitive burden upon these good horses. The French candidate, Lutteur III., who easily won this event last year when carrying lOst 111b, has now a very different impost in 12st 41b, and if the reports which have been circu- lated of late respecting his having been in an unsound condition for some time past are correct, then possibly Mr. Jaaies Hennessy, his owner, wiU not incur any further expense by accepting with him. Moonstruck has been well looked after with list 121b, but Holy War has the same weight which was apportioned him last year, list 101b, and is on the same mark with Mount Prospect's Fortune. Cau- been, who last March ran third with list 71b, now has a potmd more, but instead of, as then, having to concede 111b to Judas, who was second, has now to give but 31b. Blood- stone is on the same mark as Can been, I whilst at A pound less figures King of the Scarkrts, a very smart Irish 'chaser, who was greatly fancied for the race last year, but went amis6. Springbok, a great, sufferer from rheumatism, but a good chaser when well, is not badly in with list 51b, or a pound more than Leinster, but the latter has, in all probability, seen his best day, and Rath vale, with list lib. has a decidedly more taking appearance. Wychwood, as the winner of the National Hunt Steeplechase last year, can st.ay, Imt is not likely to follow the example of a former winner of that race, Why Not, and win this. Bound Dance has scored in his last eight attempts, and is not badly trea-ted with 10st 131b. The American-bred Simon Pure II. has been awarded lOst 12.1 b, and another candidate from the same country. Precentor II., has lOst 71b. 8.bady Girl, lOst. 81b, has a pound less now than she carried into seventh place last year, when Tom West, runniwg her at evens, was her at evens, was fourth, and he now eon-cedes her lib. Jen- kinstown arrests the eve with lOst Slh. while the King's candidate. Flaxma.II, has lt 2.ib, but he may fail to stand a winding-up prepa- ration for the race. They are a somewhat moderate lot below him in the handicap, but if Odor can stay the trying course he. with the bottom weight of 9st 71b, must certainly have a great chance, for be is a splendid femceir. KEMPTON PARK: GREAT JUBILEE HANDICAP. The ADJUSTERS or weights for this event have had a easier task to deal with than a twelve- month since, when unknown quantities ffuch as the American contingent, Ballot, Colin. and" Priscillia-n, were nominated. In the present CA^SE Llangwm, who only ran twice last season, when he had an easy task to win the Ascot New Biennial Stakes, and afterwards was ea.sily beaten when giving weight away to Royal Realm and Lagos in the Dullingham, 1 Stakes at Newmarket, and Dean Swift, who was second last year to Ebor, dispute top I weight at 9st. They have "to oonoode 51b to the Alnerim, n hoirse, Sir Martin, who is a crack over the distance, as he wound up lasi season with success when carrying top weight in the Durham Stakes at headquarters. On too same mark is Succour, whose best course is up to a mile, and they have to give 2lb to his Majesty's Derby winner. Minoru. with Valens 21b lower in the handicap, and over this course it appears well within the com- pass of the Royal candidate. Ebor has not beon out since winning last year, and he can now meet the evergreen Dean Swift on 7lb worse terms. In addition to the last-named, Mr. J. B. Joel has the gigantic The Story (7st 10lb) and the Cesarewitch winner. Submit (7st 51b). The last-named wou-id probably prefer a longer course. On the Cambridge- shire running Christmas Daisy will have to meet Sir M artin at a disadvantage of pounds, but SO easily did the formoT win that he I should again repeat the defeat, and also beat his stable companions, The Nut (7st 131b) and Canonite (7st 4Ib). The last-named Mustapha to three parts of a length at 91b in the Coventry Stakes of a II mile over this course. Christmas Daisy also holds Arranmore (8st) safe on the Cambridge- shire running. In addition to Valens anl Mustapha, the Whatcom LIE STABLE has Buck- wheat (7st 131b), who showed a liking for the TIWK when beating Hayden (gave 5Ib) 111 THE Duke of York Stakes, with Valens eighth, and he should prove the best of tne trio. Hayden won the event two years since with 6st 121b I on his back. His May s Coronation Stakes' winner, Princess de Galles. is nicety treated with 7st. Sam Darling can LIE reore- I JRF>NTED by Dandy Prat (7st 511), Th iaddezs I f7?t 31b? S?nbri?ht ?Sst l?ib). Iressady ?t (7st 31b), The Oox (6sO, who '.h?res bottom illb). and weight with l?ni?rbilizht and General Botha and of the?e Sunhri?ht. who wound up with three stvooe<S?es last season, may beat more 1 than beat him: in fact, shonid a three-year- i old win it will probably spring from this qua<rter. Those mentioned appear to be the pi,OL- of the handicap, and further comment can be left until the acceptances are pub- lished next Wednesday. THE VICTORIA CUP. i It was the pretty general impression when Llangwm pulled up in such a lame condition I when third to Royal Realm for the Duilinig- ham Plate at Newmarket in July that Mr. Barclay Walker's good horse naa quitted the ■racecourse for the stud Consequently, it was with pleasure that his name was seen amongst the entries for the Victoria Cup, and as Mr. Dawkiris had to take him on his best form, he figures at the bead of this handicap with the steadying weight of 9*T 61b, and has to coneede 81b to Valens. The speedy Jack snipe has 8st 91b, or lib more than Christmas Daisv. Golden Rod and Delirium figure on the same mark, with gst "lib each Portland Bay, third for the race la-st year with 7st 101b, now has 8st lib to oa.rry, a like impost being awarded Perseus HI., whilst the disappointing Nor- man III. has 7st 121b. The speedy BattJeaxe is given 7st 91b, and that smart colt Sun. bright 7i!t 61b, he being top weight of the th ree-vear-okis engoagoed in the race. Strick- land, a somewhat uncertain animal, has 7st, a like weight being apportioned Sunshine. Top o' tb,, Morning and Lord 11. Beresford'S Deoen«ber purchase Ga*>ti»re have been given fet 11115 each, whilst the bottom weights are Decision and General Botha, with 6st each. CITY AND SUBURBAN. Dean Swift s performancee in the City and Suburban bava been EO remarkably consistent, UTai. thomdi considerahiy past the as? at thai-, the ttMr?ugbbrad is sappoeed to be which at his best. it was Dot to be SUPPOSED that, the bandicappers would weight anything ABOTE him. 1n allotting Mr. Joel's veteran 9st 51b they bave increased his burden of last year, when finishing seoond to White 1.e. by At, whilst he ia SET to carry 71b more than when sucoeestjful in 1908. As this is Dean Swift's last season he is almost cer- tain to again go to the post, when be can be depended upon to once more run with distinction, though it will be noted that Mr. J. B. Joel can also make choice of The Story, fifth to Bayardo in the St. Leger. 8st: Sub- mit, 7s 9I b; and Temnoe, 7st 71b. The handi- cap doe.s not to any material extent differ from Mr. Ord's Lincolnshire Handicap figures. Sir Martin and Valent.. for instance, receive 611> and 91b respectively from Dean Swift, instead of 71,1) and 101B in the Carhohno j event. It is intererstintr to note that Sir Mar- | till is rated a 21b better colt than his Majec-ty'S Derby winner Minoru. whilst. I though last spring at Newbury Minoru con- ceded Valens 51b and a beating. Lord Carnar- von's coit now receives but a pound, the latter's x-eoond in the St. J.e6'er having evi- dently been taken a", the basis in allotting ihe respective imposts. Christmas Daisy's burden of 8st 61b is an increase ol lSlb on that under which he succeeded in the Cambridgeshire, but he only meels Mu-stapha at a disadvantage of 3;h. for. instead of receiving 21b from Lord Carnarvon's colt, he concedes lib. lSir Martin appears to be the best treated of those that took port in the principal event of the Houghton Meeting, thouzh Arranmore is not harshly dealt with at 8st 41b. Due allowance has been made for Duke Michael s apparent deterioration, and should MI. Reid Walker's candidate return to his two-year-oid form he would at 7st 41b be a formidable opponent to the best of the three-year-olds. But a pound separates Sunbright and Tressady. and of those lower down in the scale Lady Vista and EIITCKSEA appear to be the most attrac- tive. The weights have been carefully appor- tioned. and an unusually interesting contest should result. THE GREAT METROPOLITAN. Glacis probably repm«ente better class tnan is usually seen in the Great Metropolitan, and he appears to bo fudly entitled to the 9st 21b which places him at the head of affairs for this long-distance event. Should he and Pure Gem, to whom he ha.s to concede 5ib, both see the post, t-he meeting would he an inter- est-ing one; indeed, Father Blind has been dropped 51b since last year, though his 8st 21b is exactly that amount more than his weight when successful two years ago. Laugh- ing Mirror, last year's winner, is asked to carry 7st 41b, an increase of 181b, whilst tdie hurdler, Blind Hookey, who then finished fourth, is left on the same mark, 6&t 101b. Admiral Togo II. is nicely treated with 8et, and others that aopear to be favourable in- elude The Major 7st 101b, Simonson 7t lib. Claretoi 651. 121b, and Pretiva 6st 121b. LINCOLNSHIRE HANDICAP.
