The Cycling World. -:0:- The prospective cyclist about to purchase a machine, cannot be too careful on the point of obtaining advice. Nowadays, a jerry built cycle bears, to the untutored eye, practically as good an appearance as the best machine it is possible to turn out. Enamel and nickel plate cover bad workmanship in a most effective manner, and unless the man about to purchase a cycle obtains the assistance of an experienced friend, be stands a very good chance of making an unsatisfactory purchase, especially if buying a machine at a low price, unless of course he goes to a firm of standing and repute where he may rely upon being well and properly treated. It is, generally speaking, in buying a machine from 0, comparatively small maker who goes in for cutting prices, that th jerry built machine is obtained. A London cabman has been ordered by the Brompton County Court to pay £ 8 and costs to a wheelman he had run down. The accident was caused by the cabman turning sharply round a corner without giving due warning. The tyres of a motor bicycle will require a 'certain amount of attention if they are to last for any fairly long period, and the motorist is, of course, naturally anxious to make them last as long as possible. It pays to occasionally remove the tyres and examine the inside of the covers for weak places in the fabric, so that they can be readily repaired before becoming too badly worn. One of the most durable and longest running tyres is the Dunlop. It was these tyres that were awarded first prize, in the great 4,000 miles tyre trials on the road last season, for all-round excellence, At the Bristol Post Office A. and C.C. race meeting, a most distressing accident occurred during the final heat of the five miles motor bicycle race, which cast a gloom over the gathering and led to the postponement of the undecided events on the programme. The accident occurred at one of the highly banked corners, which P. C. Bailey, of Bristol, when travelling over thirty- four miles an hour, took wide. G. A. Barnes. the record breaker of London, also ran wide, and when passing his opponent something went wrong with his machine and the two riders collided. The smash was awful, both riders and their machines falling amongst the spectators, two of whom were killed and some twenty injured. Bailey escaped with but slight injuries, but Barnes received injuries to his head and one of his legs. In common with other cycling scribes we have always advocated the use of the cycle amongst road surveyors and inspectors, not only on the score of the saving of time and consequently the the more frequent inspection of the roads and road-labourers, but also because a surveyor who cycles over the roads under his charge, would far easier detect any unevenness of the surface. We are glad to see that the Carmarthenshire County Council hold similar views, for when recently advertising for three inspectors of main roads for the County, they stated that candidates must provide themselves with cycles and use them for travelling on the roads. This is a capital idea, but, could not the Council supply the machines ? r It has lately been quite the fashion amongst cycle manufacturers to send out their machines fitted with plated rims. The general appearance of the cycle is thereby considerably enhanced, but it is doubtful whether rims of this character are quite so satisfactory in the long run as those enamelled. After being caught out in the rain, or after cycling over wet or muddy roads, it is neces- sary to wipe down the rims in order to keep them at anything approaching their initial brilliancy, and to prevent rust from forming. Perhaps a way out of the difficulty would be to use a trans- parent varnish, or enamel, with which the rims could be painted. The result would be to some- what dim their brilliancy, but a better result would be effected by saving of time and labour, as well as preserving the rims themselves. To the cyclist going touring on a motor cycle, there are at least two essentials towards an enjoy- able trip-a good machine and an ample luggage carrier. He can explore the country fully equipped with everything necessary towards his comfort without of course incurring the bodily fatigue of the ordinary machine. A most important equip- ment to carry in the kit, is the tyre repairing outfit. One that is specially designed, and made for use of motor cyclists, is the Dunlop. With the splendid materials, all of Dunlop manufacture, a repair can be accomplished in a rapid and effectual manner. It is sold at 2s., and procurable at all cycle and motor depots. v —' A. V. Norman, one of the racing members of the Anerley Bicycling Club, met with a remark able accident recently when training at the Crystal Palace track. To avoid a collision with another man who had "cut in" before him, Norman ran up the banking, and in doing so failed to clear the railings. His off pedal caught the fence, and he was thrown clean over on to the ground some twelve feet below. Although con- siderably shaken and bruised, he escaped severe injuries, thanks to the long grass on which he lel\ A very interesting sight was recently witnessed at Athlone, when members of the Itayal Irish Constabulary were inspected by Colonel Chamber- lain, their Inspector General. The large number of 2,000 cycling police rode past the Colonel, producing a very imposing spectacle, and one that the R.I.C. might well be proud of, since no other police force in the world possesses such a large number of cycling members. n — Although, on his failure last year to swim the Channel, Holbein stated that he would not be making another attempt, we now learn that he is agflin in training with a view to swimming the stretch of water that lies between the shores of England and At the present time he is n training in the river Medway at Wateringbury, swimming for several hours at a time. He also makes considerable use of his cycle to keep in an ttll-round state of fitness.

BARRY LABOUR REPRESENTATION LEAGUE. A successful conference of delegates of Trade and Labour organisations was held at Barry Dock on Saturday evening last, to consider the question of forming a Labour Representation Committee (or League) for the Barry district, with the view of extending the movement throughout the South Glamorgan constituency. A committee of five was elected to draft provisional rules, and to gather the feeling of workingmen through the con- stituency on the question of Parliamentary Labour Representation for this Constituency, their report to be submitted to another meeting, which will be held at an early date.

SAD FATE OF A BARRY BOATMAN. PAINFUL SEQUEL TO A WEDDING PARTY. A SCUFFLE THAT CAUSED DEATH. REPORT OF THE CORONER'S INQUIRY. During the past week a painful occurrence has taken place at Barry Island, for the death of a dock boatman named William Frederick Dunn, aged 44, living at 13, Clive-road, occurred under circum- stances which at one time threatened to assume serious developments, It appears that on the 27th of May a son of the deceased was married to the daughter of another resident of the Island. In the evening of the same day a party was held in honour of the wedding, at which there were present a numerous company of relatives and friends of both parties. Towards midnight, how- ever, the decased man Dunn, who had unfortunately taken some drink, became somewhat troublesome, and having had a friendly scuffle with a man named Thomas Scourfield, he had a more serious struggle with another man named William Taylor. Dunn and Taylor fought several rounds, during which both men fell, and Dunn sustained a blow in the stomach which incapacitated him, and he shortly afterwards went home with assistance. Dunn went to bed that night complaining of severe pains in the stomach, and he continued very ill till Friday last, when he died. Drs Percy Billups and Neville Wilde, who had been in attendance, declined to certify to the cause of death, and a post mortem examination was ordered, with the result that an inquest on the body was held on Monday afternoon last, at the Marine Hotel, Barry Island, before Mr E. Bernard Reece, the divisional coroner, and a jury. The first witness called was Mrs Annie Dunn, widow of the deceased, who identified the body, and said that on the 27th of May her son was married. In the evening of the same day a party was held in honour of the wedding. She (witness) left about one o'clock on Wednesday morning. Before she left, her husband, who was under the influence of drink, became somewhat cross and troublesome, but he did not scuffle with anyone before she went home. Deceased came home about two o'clock, and complained of having been hurt about the stomach. He also had blood on his face. He went to bed shortly afterwards, and was very ill all night. On Wednesday morning she sent for Dr Billups, who attended her husband till his death. Her husband continued to keep to his bed, and as he did not improve, Dr Billups called in Dr Neville Wilde. She asked the deceased several times how he got hurt, but he would not tell her, stating he did not know. By Mr F. P. Jones Lloyd (solicitor), who appeared for William Taylor, with whom deceased fought on the night in question, Mrs Dunn said that deceased told her that he had only himself to blame for the row. It was," he said, entirely my fault." He had a quarrel with a man before she left, but they did not fight. Archibald Dunn, boiler-maker's assistant, son of the deceased, was next called. He described the proceedings at the wedding party on the fatal night, and corroborated his mother's evidence as to his father's conduct on that night. He said that after having an innocent scuffle with Thomas Scourfield, deceased had a few words with William Taylor, another of the party, and having taken off their coats, his father and Taylor fought for some time. After falling once, they got up, and the fight was resumed, when Taylor approached his father in a stooping attitude, and rushing at him he butted his father in the stomach with his head. His father again fell, and after being picked up he complained of pain in the stomach, and he was taken home with assistance. He fell twice on the way home. By Mr Jones-Lloyd—My father was very drunk and quarrelsome that night, but I don't know whether he quarrelled with my brother the same evening. The scuffle with Scourfield was a good- natured one, and they fell on the floor, but my father fought hard with Taylor for some time. I don't know who began the row, but father and Taylor threw off their coats, and fought several rounds, and both fell once or twice, and they had to be helped up. John Langford, 75, Phyllis-street, another of the wedding party, gave evidence silliilar to that of Archie Dunn. Charles Clarke, who described himself as care- taker of Barry Island," also gave corroborative evidence. Describing the fight between Taylor and Dunn, witness said that Dunn was in the act of returning a blow to Taylor from the right. Taylor ducked, and Dunn missing Taylor he lounged forward and fell on his right side, Taylor's head thus coming accidentally into contact with Dunn's stomach. The Coroner Do you think that Taylor butted the deceased intentionally in the stomach.- Witness No, I think it was quite accidental. Edmund Kinnersley, Barry Docks, corroborated the evidence of the last witness. William Taylor, the man with whom the deceased fought, was called, but said he did not wish to give evidence, as he had nothing to add to what Clarke had said. He denied that he had butted the deceased intentionally in the stomach, but his head might have come in contact with him accidentally as he was trying to avoid the blow aimed at him by the deceased. Dr Percy C. C, Billups, who had been in attend- ance upon the deceased since the 28th ultimo, gave evidence that when he was called to see the deceased he complained of violent pain in the abdorren. In his opinion deceased was suffering from bladder injury, and he treated him accord- ingly, as well as for peritonitis, of which symptoms bad set in. Dunn died on Friday, and on Satur- day afternoon he, in company with Dr Wilde and Dr Kent, conducted a post-mortem examination. Externally there was a slight injury on the bridge' of the nose. Internally there was general inflam- mation of the peritoneal and of the intestines, and there was a, rupture of the bladder at the top and back, about two inches in length. The Coroner Did this rupture of the bladder cause peritonitis ? — Yes. Witness, continuing, said all the other organs were healthy, except a small patch on the right lung, and an old injury on the forehead, and a slight thickening of the membrane on the top of the brain, but neither of these conditions had anything to do with the cause of death. In his opinion death was due to peritonitis, caused by an ulcerated bladder. The Coroner How might this rupture have been caused ?—Either by a violent blow or fall. The Coroner In a wrestle or a fight ?-It is possible. Continuing, Dr Billups said that if the bladder was distended a fall without a blow might have caused the injury, and in the present instance might have been caused either during the wrestle or the fight. The Coroner, summing up, said there could be no doult that deceased got his injury during the scuffle or the fight. It was an unfortunate thing for Taylor that he engaged in the fight. In law, a man had no right to engage in a fight, except in self-defence, and if an unlucky blow, whether intentionally or not, produced injuries which caused death, then that man was guilty of man- slaughter. In this case Taylor fought with the deceased. Both took off their coats simul- taneously and fought, and if the jury were of opinion that the injury was caused during the fight it would be their duty to return a verdict of manslaughter against Taylor, but if they found that the injury was caused during the scuffle the verdict would then be one of accidental death. The jury deliberated in private for some time, and returned a verdict of Accidental death, due to peritonitis, following upon rupture of the bladder, caused during a friendly scuffle on the night of the 27th of May.

ARE YOU "SPRING TIRED"? A DRESSMAKER'S PECULIAR CASE. The late Spring and early Summer brings a good deal of languor and debility. Housewives, whose opportunities for fresh air exercise are not so great, come in for the biggest share of this dis- tressing trouble but the following story of a dressmaker's cure by Dr Slater's Blood Tablets, which strengthened and enriched her whole system, contains a lesson for both sexes. The Bristol Times and Mirror interviewed Miss Martha Sealey, of Lympsham, near Weston-super-Mare, who said :—" For many years, usually in the lat Spring, I used to be terribly run-down and out-of sorts without really knowing what ailed me. My appetite fell off, and I became pale, weak, and thin. All energy seemed to be taken from me. I could not sleep properly, and what rest I did get didn't seem to refresh me in the least. I suffered a lot from ulcerated stomach. I would get terribly low-spirited, apart from my sickness, and think it must have been through the sedentary nature of my dressmaking. I never got proper exercise, and accordingly fell 1 off colour.' Two doctors failed to cure me, and for six weeks I was atlWeston-super-Mare Hospital. In March I had a severe illness which left me, like many illnesses do, in a terrible state of depression. I was still fearfully run-down, pale, and weak so upon reading an announcement about Dr. Slater's blood-making tablets I bought a box, and felt much brighter and better in myself. I started a full course, using occasional doses of Dr. Slater's Stomach Pills-the white ones-with marked beneficial effects. The results continued most satisfactory, and in a short while I felt stronger and better than I had done for years. I am highly pleased both with the Blood-Making Tablets and the Stomach Pills, and can heartily recommend them." Weak, weary women and men worn out by daily anxiety and toil, find Dr. Slater's Blood-Making Tablets a powerful nerve tonic and restorative. They tone up the nerves, invigorate the brain, and fill the weakened system with rich, red blood. For aneemia, pale and sallow complexions, indigestion, palpitation, heart-weakness, neuralgia, rheumatism, gout, lumbago, wasting, the early stages of consumption, paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' Dance, and spinal weakness, Dr. Slater's Blood-Making Tablets stand unequalled. They may be had of all chemists, or direct from the Slater Laboratories, Greek-street, Leeds, for two and nine per box, or large size eleven shillings (containing five times the quantity at the cost of four.)

VISIT OF LORD GEORGE SANGER'S EXHIBITION TO BARRY. A WONDERFUL MAMMOTH SHOW. An interval of time extending to several years. has elapsed since the last occasion of the presence in the Barry district of the entire exhibition travelled by the world famous Lord George Sanger. The fact that the grand old showman is once more in our midst will be demonstrated in solid reality to-day (Friday) and to-morrow by the crowds of people who will, both afternoon and evening wend their way to the Witchill Ground, at Cadoxton, to witness the performances by which a welcome visit of the renowned triple attraction—colosseum, hippodrome and menagerie -will be auspiciously celebrated. The gigantic- combination of which he is the illustrious head several times appeared before the late Queen Victoria, and he speaks with pardonable pride of the pleasure her Majesty invariably expressed after each of the performances given by Royal command. The exhibition which Lord George will this week bring to Barry strikingly illustrates- the capacity of this Prince of Showmen to main- tain the attractions and programmes at a high artistic standard, and, at the same time, keep them up to date. The resources of the show seem illimitable whether it is wild animals or trained animals, or human performers, that the visitor wishes to see there, they are of every type and colour, and they supply every sort of feat, both skilful and daring, which the ingenuity of man, be he civilised or savage, can accomplish or suggest. Prior to the first performance at the wftchill Grounds, Cadoxton, Lord George Sanger will parade a portion of his entourage through the principal thoroughfares of the town. At the afternoon and evening performances the thousands of people who will crowd under the colossal canvas marquee will enthusiastically enjoy them- selves. The programmes are long, but the variety is so complete and unique that the end is reached before the audience fully realise the flight of the time. The equine display is superb. Beautiful horses-racers, jumpers, and chargers-will ex- ploit themselves to the delight and wonderment of the spectators. All the stirring episodes illustra- tive of Indian life, participated in by real natives, are a source of infinite joy and wonder. A grand finale is furnished by the Prairie Fire," which must be seen before its vivid effect can be adequately appreciated. After the Colosseum and Hippodrome entertainments, the visitor is treated, to the animated spectacle of the feeding of the wild animals in the menagerie. The whole stupendous three-in-one show, in all its elements, is intensely pleasing, refined, wonderful and highly educational. The present visit is of only two days' duration; two performances each day, afternoon and evening.
