PANIES EACH 2/9 BOTTLE, PAYABLE THROUGH YOUR BANK IF IT FAILS TO CURE. THE MOST SUCCESSFUL MEDICINE EVER PLACED UPON THE MARKET. THE SAFEST GUARANTEE EVER OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC. IT MEANS A CURE OR NO PAY. READ EVERY WORD THAT FOLLOWS. Mr Veno has had a vast experience amongst the sick and suffering. During the last ten years he 1st- has lectured to vast audiences in England and America on Medical Subjects being an earnest advocate of the Botaneopathic system of applying medicine, which has proved itself so successful, readers will gather from this that his advice is worth following. Mr Veno believes that a liquid medicine is superior at all times to tablets or pills because it is much 2nd. more easily assimilated and carried to the diseased parts. Furthermore, to permanently cure a sympton or a disease you must first cure the diseased organ which produces it, and that, by a medicine that is not injurious to the system. He carried out this principle by inventing Veno's Seaweed Tonic to cure all disorders of the stomach, liver, kidneys, and blood, That he has been successful in producing the grandest medicine ever placed upon the market is proved by the immense number of cured patients in all parts of the country. No one could realise the strengthening and healing power of this remedy until they have taken it. Veno's Seaweed Tonic is guaranteed to cure. If it should fail after a fair trial, Mr Veno agrees to 3rd. return 2/6 on each 2j9 bottle purchased. A bank cheque, value 2/8 payable through the London Trading Bank Limited, is sent out with each 2/9 bottle. Mr Veno's financial standing is unquestioned. He is permanently located in Manchester, where he has fitted up one of the finest and most modern' laboratories in England.

--_.-CRUSHED TO DEATH AT BARRY…
CRUSHED TO DEATH AT BARRY DOCKS, A shocking accident, which unfortunately proved fatal, befei John Henry Mack, aged 48. of 59, Tynewydd-road, Barry Docks, early on Satur- day morning last. The deceased was employed as coal tipper, and was at work at No. 30 Tip, No. 2 Dock, when he was accidentally crushed between the buffers of two empty waggons. Dr Bowen was called, but deceased died before the arrival of medical aid. At the Police Court, Barry Docks, on Monday afternoon, Mr E. Llewellyn Reece, deputy coroner, held an inquest on the body of the deceased. Identity of the body was proved by the widow of the deceased and Walter Lucas, a weigher, stated that Mack was coupling' some waggons, when he was caught between two, and his ribs were jammed between the buffers of a moving waggon and the back of a stationary truck, the injuries proving fatal within half-an-hour.— Edward Johnson, a coal tipper, gave evidence as to removing the unfortunate man from between the buffers and Dock-Constable Harvey (14) con- veved the remains to the deceased's residence.— The jury, of whom Mr J.Ii. Llewellyn was fore- man, returned a verdict of Accidental death." Mr T. Owen Edwards,H.M.Inspectorof Factories, watched the proceedings on behalf of the Home Office; Mr A. Jackson, solicitor, represented the relatives of the deceased and Mr D. W. Roberts, traffic superintendent, attended on behalf of the Barry Railway Company. Much sympathy is felt for the widow and family in their bereavement.

BARRY ROWING CLUB REGATTA.
BARRY ROWING CLUB REGATTA. At Coldknap, Barry, on Saturday afternoon last, under the most favourable weather and other conditions, the annual regatta in connection with the Barry Amateur Rowing Club was held, and was attended by a larger number of the ladies and gentlemen of the district than for several years past. The Cardiff Hungarian Band played an excellent selection of music during the afternoon. The entries for the open events included those of the Cardiff, Taff, Penarth, and Barry Clubs, and some capital rowing was witnessed. I Mr A. D. Mein was captain on the occasion Mr J. A. Blackmore, judge and Mr Ernest E. Green was an energetic hon. secretary. The vice-captains y were Messrs S. W. Hansen, C. H. Kempthorne, J. A. Blackmore, and T. E. Cullum, who, with Messrs A, Trevor Roberts and J. E. Browne, were also regatta committee. Messrs C. H. Kempthorne and H. J. Thomas were the starters. In the maiden four-oared race, the Taff Club were the winners, as well as in the pairs. Messrs S. W. Hansen and A. D. Mein were successful in the upset race, restricted to members of the Barry Club. In the junior-senior contest, the prize was carried off by Penarth; and Messrs Edwards, Bissett, Box, and Massey were respectively placed in the plank and shovel race, which afforded con- siderable amusement. The ladies' race was rowed ¡ in four-oared gigs; the winners being. Miss M. Hansen. Miss Heywood, Miss Mein, and Miss Neale, Mr E. E. Green being cox. A duck hunt followed, Mr G. F. Manisty being the prize-taker and the plank and shovel race proved a dead heat between Messrs Bissett, Box, Edwards, and Massey. At the conclusion of the events the prizes were distributed by Mrs F. P. Jones-Lloyd. During the afternoon tea was partaken of, and the regatta was followed by an enjoyable smoking concert at the Barry Hotel, when there was again a good attendance of members and others. Mr A. Trevor Roberts presided.
fCORRESPONDENCE.
f CORRESPONDENCE. To the Editor of the "BARRY DOCK NEWS." Dear Sir,—I have recently been imposed upon, and I wish to issue a word of warning. Doubtless most of your readers are acquainted with the fact that two gallons of most delicious, thirst-quench- ing, home-made lemonade can be made in a few minutes from a 4^d bottle of Eiffel Tower Lemon- ade. It is, I believe, sold by most grocers. I have been in the habit of using ib with the greatest satisfaction, but going into a shop a few days back for some, I was recommended to try another make, as being better. I was persuaded to try it, but to my great disappointment found it was most inferior. This was most annoying, as I wanted it for a party. I have since ascertained that a larger profit can be made by the trader by supplying an imitation instead of the genuine article. Think- ing others might be imposed upon in the same way, I thought I ought to warn your readers not to be put off with inferior makes when they ask for the genuine article.-I am, yours faithfully, A READER..

---------The Cycling World.
The Cycling World. -0- The four riders who represented the Polytechnic) feam against the Rest of England team at the Manchester Athletic meeting, all rode Dunlop tyres. Ingram, the quarter mils N.C.U. cham- pion made the best show as besides winning both his heats, he cleverly defeated Tom Davies in th" deciding match thus gaining the victory for the Poly boys. It is not often that the Post Office authorities are known to exhibit any undue haste in the execution of their work, at least not in the London district, but things appear to be managed differ- ently at Leamington, where two telegraph boys and a postman were recently charged with furious cycling. The police alleged that the prisoners were travelling at fifteen miles an hour, a rate of speed which it was maintained was an impossibility on the heavy crocks supplied by the G.P.O. The three were let off on paying costs. « — Rational dress, which aroused a great contro- versy a few years ago, bids fair to become quite extinct, very, very seldom a lady garbed in this mannish attire being now seen on the road. The course events have taken is not to be wondered at, considering that zeal in the furtherance of the cause only existed in a certain sect whose objects as a whole were totally antagonistic to the whims and ways of the generality of women folk. Besides it has been discovered that a skirt, if properly cut and hung, is as comfortable as rational dress, and allows of almost equal amount of freedom. No woman who considers her appearance or delights in exhibiting her grace and beauty to the best advantage, would consent to don a costume so intensely unbecoming as to border on the ludicrous; and now that they are persuaded that they look graceful in skirts nothing would induce them to change. More women are riding now than ever, thus proving that skirts are not restraining thf extension of cycling amongst the fair sex. Acetylene gas for cycle lamps occupies a very similar position to that of the rational dress move- ment. Three years ago a very determined attempt was made to bring acetylene lamps in to prominence, and although at the time they were encountered fairly frequently upon the road, the number of cyclists favouring this mode of lighting are now very few. The chief advantage attributed to acetylene is the brilliancy of its light, and in this lies the cause of its failing popularity. Granted, that wheelmen desire a strong light when travel- ling on the roads at night, but the carbide calcium is too brilliant, and temporary blinds anyone ap- proaching, hence the existence of an unwritten mutual understanding between wheelmen not to Use that which contributes to the dangers of the road. The time-honoured oil lamp, if properly kept and cleaned after every using, will be found to give the most satisfactory light for all cyclists. It is a fact that there are more cyclists on the road this year than there have ever been before, and the tendency is for the concourse of wheelmen to go on increasing year by year. Perhaps, around London the busiest four miles within the twelve miles radius of Charing Cross, lies between Ken- nington Church and Tooting. On a fine Saturday afternoon cyclists pass along this stretch of high- way in an unbroken string, all intent upon reaching the open country wherein to spend the weekly haif-dav vacation. This continued increase is having a most beneficial effect upon many of the country hostelries which, previous to the influx of wheelmen, were only existing on the chance cus- tomers who passed their way now they carry on a most lucrative business, and many once neglected pubs are blossoming forth as up-to-date, well equipped hotels.. This is only one of the many instances where prosperity may be attributed to the advance of the wheel. G. A. Olley, who seems to be better known as Use vegetarian crack than as a member of the Anerley B.C., has proved himself one of the best all-round amateurs of the present day, and by his win in the Carwardine Cup race at the Crystal Palace, over 100 miles, beating such well-known cracks as Dudden, Montgomery, and Bridgwater, he has gained the top position in middle distance ranks. Olley (who rides Dunlop tyres) holds the -100 miles, 12 and 24 hours Southern Road Records, and also the and 1 mile unpaced standing start path records. He is sure to be heard of again ere long. C. Jones, the New Zealander, who at one time figured as a fairly successful racing crack, is now performing at the London Pavilion on the smallest cycle track in the world it measures eighty )aps to the mile, and the five foot path is built on an angle of GO degrees. Around this track which can be truly likened to a basin, the daring rider whirls in an almost horizontal position, speed alone keep- ing him up. Whilst on the move he indulges in various items of trick riding; side saddle riding, pedalling with left foot on right saddle, and finally, when travelling at top speed, he unscrews the handle-bar, throws it away, and continues his mad career. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the performance is his method of getting going; having mounted the cycle he charges the track at a good speed, when turning the handles slightly and throwing his whole weight with the machine he spins along like a fly on a wall. 4$ — The team race between four members of the Polytechnic Cycling Club and four riders repre- senting the Rest of England, about which there has been so much discussion in the Press, was decided at the Manchester Athletic Club's Meeting at .FaUowBeld, where amidst tre- mendous excitement the Poly club secured the laurels of the day, but only by a matter of a few inches. In the first heat A. S. Ingram and R. Janson of the Polytechnic, defeated T. Davies and J. A. Metcalf second heat, T. Childs and S. Hol- loway, Rest of England, defeated A. L. Reed and A. J. Cherry; third heat, A. S. Ingram and R. Janson, Polytechnic, defeated S. Holloway and T. Childs; fourth heat, T. Davies and J. A. Metcalf Rest of England, defeated A. L. Reed and A. J. Cherry, thus making the result a tie with twenty points to each team. In order that the question of superiority might be settled, a deciciing match was arranged between A. S. Ingram and T. Davies, resulting in a victory for the latter by a matter of inches-indeed so closely did the men ride together right up the straight to the winning post, that amongst many the result was looked upon as a dead heat. Some 5,000 spectators surrounded the enclosure.
THE WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION…
THE WORKMEN'S COMPENSA- TION ACT. LOCAL EFFECT OF THE LORDS' DECISION. Some time ago a case came before his Honour Judge Owen at Cardiff County Court, in which the widow of the late Thomas Edwards, Penarth-road, Cardiff, a boilermaker's holder-up, sued the Bute Dry Dock Company for compensation for the loss I of her husband, who met his death as the result of an accident while repairing a ship at the above dry dock last year. The case was taken under the Employers' Liability -Act, but the action failed under this head. His Honour, however, adjourned the case pending the decision of the House of Lords as to whether a dry dock was a factory within the provisions of the Employers' Liability Act. The decision of the Lords being favourable, the Bute Dry Docks Company have paid to the widow com- pensation to the extent of £200, thus avoiding the necessity for further litigation. The case on behalf of the widow was conducted by the Boiler- I makers' Society, represented by Councillor J. H, j Jose, Barry, the delegate of the South Wales district. We understand that the society have made about ] twenty further claims for compensation since the decision of the Lords, a number of which have already been settled,

BARRY NEW DRY DOCKS.
BARRY NEW DRY DOCKS. OPINION OF THE" SHIPPING WORLD." The Board of Trade has announced its consent to the construction of the Barry New Dry Docks, taking the position that the same cannot interfere with the navigation of the channel. Whilst this decision has not given entire satis- faction locally, many more being financially interested in the existing dry docks than the pro- posed new docks, disinterested parties, who of course have no technical or scientific knowledge, are pleased at the removal of a barrier to the pro- vision of more accommodation, particularly as it is now generally understood that in addition to Mr Edwards (of Messrs Edwards and Smith, of New- castle), the Messrs Doxford, of Sunderland, have a large interest in the undertaking. It is felt that new blood of such a practical and enterprising quality being brought into the district cannot but have a beneficial effect locally. Some even hope that it may mean the establishment of ship- building, which, with the building up of a solid import trade, may be considered the two principal unfulfilled hopes of the South Wales ports. But I fear that shipbuilding will tarry still longer.- Shipping World.
