The relationship had been one of great friendship. Asked if it was a profitabie business, Mr. Jenkins assured him it was, and upon witness show- ing- him an unsigned postcard he had re- oeived advising him to have nothing to do with the Empire Depot, as it was in a bank- rupt stale," he (Mr. Jenkins) said, "If I were to take notice of such thinga as this I should be always in hot water." He added that the pwtcard was evidently from one who didn't, I waut him (witness) to have the business. Subsequently they held a meeting, and witness was deputed to see Mr. Austin Jenkins, whioh he did, and told him they felt they had been badly had."

It is, however, bølived that neither desire at the present ^ment a judisial offiee, and at the bar the !1;-eral belief is that if Lord Alverstone ^Stipes, Lard Justice Moulton would be the !l&w Chief Justioe.-LaudDn correopondent of tbe "Liverpool Post."

DIVORCE FOR POOR ¡DIVORCE !OR POOR I I COUNTY COURTS SUGGESTED Several stipendiary magistrates from pro- vinciail <entrec« gave evidence before the Divorce Commission in London to-day. The first was Mr. Nigel C. A. Neville, for the last 24 years stipendiary magistrate for South Staffordshire. He expressed the opinion that it was desirable to extend divorce jurisdic- tion to the county-courts, so that the remedy of divorce might be brought within the reach of he poor who had matrimonial troubles. He would limit that jurisdiction for parties with a weekly inoome not exceeding £ 4. Lord Guthrie: Yon think the county. court better for this purpose than the magistrate's or justices' courts?—Ye3, there is more "tone" about the county-court. Besides, the county-courts have all the officers and officials necessary. He further t;hought that, so far as county-courts were concerned, the d&cree could be made absolute witffidn a month, as, the parties being known, all the neeesaary inquiries could be made within that period. Seiparatiotn orders he had found to work well, and he believed they had done a great dea-l of good in preventing misery. During the last four years he had dealt with 200 of th-esie oases. In 70 or 80 the separated couples haid, oame together again, and he had refused to grant orders in some 30 odd cases. His opinion regard- ing newspaper publications of Divoroe Court reports was that only the na.mes of the parties and decisions should be allowed. (Proceeding.)

GLAMORGAN ASSJZESl i i——^ ] The assizes for the county of Glamorgan were resumed to-day at Cardiff Law Courts, the Criminal Court business being taken by Mr. Justice Coleridge. Vvh toiiurch Coining Charge The first ease was the Whitchurch coining charge, in which William Ivens (50), JiajQes Jones (60), and Mary Jones (3b) were the pri- soners arraigned. M 1". EJidyr Herbert (in- structed by iie»rs. Lewis Morgan and Box; conducted the prosecution. M,r. Ivor Bowen and Mr. Hughes (instructed by Messrs. Harold LloYd and Cross) were for the defence. Mr. Elidyr Herbert, in stating the facts, said pri- soners were charged with manufacturing 123 half-crown pieces. A large number of coining implements were fo?nd at the house in which they lived in Pant Bach-road, Whitchur"ch, 123 coins werp found in the garden at the rear, and two half-crowns bearing the same date and of the same pattern were discovered hidden in one of the room. The polica entered the house at six a.m. In the kitchen downstgii-s the police found a large mipiber of articles—battery cells, wire, and lead, and in the back kitchen copper wire. more battery cells, a piece of board with marks of coins upon it, and various other articles, which at a subsequent stage were produced by the police witnesses. Having arrested prisoners the police continued their search. In the course of the day they dug up the "back garden, and found concealed 123 counter- feit coins and the two half-crowns before- mentioned underneath the oileioth in one of the bedrooms. The half-crowns were dated 1828 and 1891; í 1 of the coins discovered in th3 garden were dated 1838, and 32 1891. The implements, &c., were taken to Mr. Joseph Spiridion, the well-known Cardiff watch- maker and jeweller, who pronounced the coins to be base, and described the im- plements as those ordinarily used by coiners and manufactured in coin out out. of the materials shown to him. Prisoners made contradictory statements* When some white powder, proved afterwards to have been plaister of Paris, was found, in the oven, the female prisoner said, Don't go near it; that's the flour out of which I am going1 to make pancakes. Evidence was given by Inspector Rees, Poliee-sergeants Bennett and M'Govern, and Police-constable Loveiuok. The inspector said that James Jones on the way to the station alleged that four of the batteries belonged to Professor Hoee, better known as "Dtarkey." Mr. Spiridion, (surrounded by the imple- ments and appliances and the cards, which were the fruit of the raid, gave a detailed exposition of the art and mystery of illicit coining. He was called upon to answer a, lot of technical questions, and various coine were handed round and keenly scrutinised by the judge and jury. Heplying- to Mr. Hugh Jones, Mr. Spiridion admitted the possession on his establishment of batteries for plating and solutions for I gildinig. You have a solution for plating?—Oh, yes. This was your only venture in counterfeit coining? Oh, no; I have made them before in different cases. (Laughter.) Mr. Hugh Jones: I am surprised. (Laughiter.) On this occasion it was not a great suc-ceas, was itP-No, I am not an expert. You didn't i-ise any of your own goods?—iNo, sir, nothing. I You did your best with this?—Yes. The spurious shilling you made would not deceive anybody?—No; but if I had done it with my own tools I might have made a better job of H. (Proceeding.)

Mid-Glamorgan Election MR. KEIR HARDIE AND LIBERALS Speaking at Swansea, on Saturday, Mr. Keir Hardie asked: Were thsy as a. Labour party to be cOilte-nt to act simply a6 a prop to a Government which was bound to fall, and whioh, unless they walle careful, irnsht bury them in its owu ruin? it was a time for determined work, and they must show that they were out for wciul reform and nothing else. If they wanted all objeot leason of the need for Labour organisation, solidly and on its own independent basis, let them tprn their eyee to Mid-Glamorgan. He fervently hoped the Liberals would not allow their courage to evaporate—that they would go on with the contest and would seleot their man. j Speaking- for himself, he would say, for the thousandth time, that rather than see a seat held in Parliament by the graoe or favour of either Liberal or Tory, he was prepared to do without such seat until they were strong- enough to win it in their own strength.

Clydach Vale Disaster HJ* AGONISING SITUATION I Little Girl Prays as Water Rushes into School It is only due to the teachers at the eobool at Clydach Vale that oredit should be given to them for averting a death-roll which would have been appalling in its extent as the result of the dam disaster. Miss M. H. Williams and Miss M. Harris, the headmistresses respec- tively of the infants' and girli;' departments, speak of thrilling experiences undergone. Miss Harris was the first of the two to realise the perilous position, as she happened to be outside a.nd saw the water rushing down. S-he thereupon closed the doolr to act as a break to the onrush, and, running into the school, counselled the junior teachers to keep calm, directing them to stand by their classes a.nd assuring them that their lives would not be endangered. Miss Williams was in the adjoining school, and at first thoug.it that the great rumbling noif-e outside was that of a traction engine, but she was soon disillusioned by Mr. R R. \YiUiamt3, the headciaster of the school, who throughout displayed the greatest resourceful- ness and bravery. The heads of the staff then concentrated their efforts upon devising means of escape and prevent-iiig a p-anic atoong the pupjls. It was not long before it was realised that to remain in the building would result in a great loss of life, and as the torre,nis dashed into the school and the water was rapidly rising, the most touchinc scenes were wit- nessed. "The children looked upon the teachers as their saviours," said Miss Williams to one of our representatives, and wistfully looked into our faces as they a.ppea1ed to be saved, while others clung to me for their very lives. One little girl got on her knees in the water and prayed earnestly, 'Oh, God, save ue.' What added to the agony of the situation was that the teachers now fully realised that in the absence of outside help it was utterly futile to attempt to save the little ones. For- tunately, a band of colliers came on the scene, and then without a. moment's loss all with the'exception of four were saved. Mitfs Williams in her interview added that help came none too soon. The water had now risen to such a height that the school furniture was floating about, so tha.t if the children had been placed on the d-Iis these would have been upset and the little ones I perished. DOOMED HOUSKS. MCTHEH AND QHILD RESCUED FROM THE TILES. Mr. Theophiius Deere, utiuer-manager of the Naval Colliery, Penygraig, of Rhondda View, adjoiniug Adams-tenaoo, Clydach Vale, gave a thrilling account of the disaster. He said that Iii6 h,111cS had been completely wrecked and all his furniture destroyed. Keturning from work earlier tilaii usual, he went to bed. He had been there not more than three minutes when he heard the sudden rush of water through the house, and reaiiised that the level at the back of the house had buret. Quickly putting on his clothes, he called io hi6 wife to follow him, and, seizing hold of his two-year-old son, he carried him to a tip behind the house. The water rose at a rapid rate, and he saw that the houses in Caedonis-terraee were doomed. Mrs. John, the wife of the Rev. S. B. John, a Baptist minister, wiLh a newly-born child, appealed for help to the crowd which had gathered in front of the house. I got up on the tiles." added Mr. Deere, "and, aided by Mr. John Bowen and Mr. D. G. Jonee, I succeeded in carrying her away. Willing hands were ready to t.a.ke her to the house of the lie v. T. E. Davies. Her mother, who had been attending her, was aleo rescued. BRAVE COLLIER'S ORDEAL. I I- Armur James, a collier, gives an exciting | narrative of his experiences in attempting to save the life of the little child Brimble. Mr. James, by means of a ladder, had helped in getting one family in Adam-street into safety, and then went to Mr. Brimble's house. The baby was handed to him, but to his consternation the current carried away the ladder, and he and the little child were precipitated into the surging torrent. Away they were carried at a great rate. "I clung to the little one with all my might," remarked Mr. James, "as I was determined to save it. I was hurled in all directions, but by-a.nd-bye I was struck with terrific force, with the result that I became practi- cally insensible, and while in this plight I lost the child. I went under, a.nd was within an ace of being drowned when help came." The child was found about 200 or 300 yards away. It was then alive, and Dr. Gabe Jones applied artificial respiration, but, notwith- standing all efforts, it succumbed about ten o'clock the same night. 8CENE OF DESOLATION. I SYMPATHY AND PRACTICAL AID FOR SUFFERERS. The scene on Sunday was a sad one in the early part of the day, signs of mourning 'Sig],% of M<)-arD4ng! being everywhere in evidence. The people passing to church and chapel spoke to one another in subdued tones, and at most of the places of worship of every denomination incidental references were made to the sad fatality that had overtaken the community. In the afternoon thousands of persons walked to the scene of the accident, many out of morbid curiosity, o?her6 who watched with reverend silence bore testimony they were grieving the loss of friends or relatives. At Bethany Chapel the ordinary ferinon was dispensed with, the Rev. S. B. John, its pastor, being anxious to remain with hit wife, who was rescued in such painful oir cumstanees. Advantage was taken of the presence of so many visitors to collect fund* for the relief of the sufferers by the calamity. It will be remembered that Mrs. John was carried in a blanket from her home to the house of the Rev. Mr. Davies. minister of Libanue. SYMPATHY FROM WELSH DEPART- MENT. Mr. T. W. Berry, director of education, has reoeived the following telegram from the Secretary to the Board of Education (Welsh Department): Haye learned with deep regTet of the deplorable Clydach dis-aster. Pray convey to parents of deceased children an expres- sion of my heartfelt sympathy, and express to headmaster gratification t.iat teaoliere, prompt action prevented further loss of life. ALFRED T. DAVIES. GRANT FROM WORKMEN. A meeting oonyene-d by the workmen's com- mittee of the Cambrian Collieries was held on Sunday at Libanw Methodist Chapel, when Mr. J. Thomas (chairm.an of the oom- mittee) presided over a very large attend- ance. It was reported that the workmen's com- mittee had given 1,30 from their funds, and that they had wviJeeted various SUXDS of money, so that in the aggregate £ 70 had been distributed among the families affected by the disaster. It was resolved that a reHef committee be formed, with Mr. R. S. Griffiths, J.P., D.O., as chairman, and Messrs. R R. Williams. 15. R. Rees, and Noah Rees as joint secretaries, and County Councillor James Evans ais treasurer. A representative committee was appointed with a view of obtaining subscriptions to relieve the distress, which is botmd to exist for some time to come. It was unanimously agreed that children thould not again be allowed to attend the school until there was a full inquiry made into the state of things and the place rendered absolutely safe from further trouble, as the scihool buildings are situate in line with the mouth of the level. Mr. R. R. Willisana, the hnadmaeter, expressed cordial thanks to the workmen who had so nobly rendered assistance in sa.vin.g the children, and paid a warm tribute to the magnificent way in which the school staff acquitted theme-elves, particularly the lady teachers, whose heroic conduct bad won the gol,den opinions of all the inhabitants. RE-OPENING OF THE SCHOOLS. 1fr. T. W. Berry, Khootdda, director of education, in a.n interview with a "Western j Man" representative, stated he would not sanction ths re-opening of the council schools until the medical oiiicer of health (Dr. Jen- kins) had satisfied himself that they were in a proper sanitary condition, and that t here was not the slightest reason to doubt that danger in any shape or form existed. The presence of mind and bravery of the teachers at the schools is the subject of general conversation, and it is freely sug- gested on all hands that they are well worthy of the nt.tention of the Boyal Humape Society. Regardless of their own lives, they devoted tlieipsehcs ivit4 salf-sacrifice to the safety of the young ones under their charge. Mr. R. R. Williams, the headmaster, had his own three children in school, and his anxiety may be well imagined, but with characteristic coolness he directed pp-erations to get the scholars collectively f,)= tjie periJious position they were placed in. But Ir his presence of mind and judgment it is ,11"dfnl to contemplate what might have happened. The children themselves, who have been taught fire-drill, behaved with remarkable discipline. THE INQUEST. F The in<jue«t has been fixed to be held this (Monday; morning before Mr. R, J. Rhys, dis- trict coroner, at Clydach Vale, but, pr^Mbly, j only formal evidence win be sivein, and the inquiry th«> ad j ourned. C. t..hu> adjourned.

THE INTERNATIONAL Welsh Backs Irresistible REMARKABLE DISPLAY BY IRISH PACK [By "FORWARD."] G. T. P'ts. WALES 1 5 19 IEEiLAJTD 0 13 Wales's decisive victory over Ireland on Saturday was hailed with delight by every- one who desired an effective and convincing answer to the libellous detractors of Welsh football. After the defeat of Scotland at I Cardiff last month the win of the Welshmen was attributed to everything except the play- ing of good football, and one critic was so wholly obsessed with the one idea that it was the mud that caused Scotia's downfall that he must have been dumfoundered to see the Welshmen running up a score of nine- teen points a-gain^t Ireland on a perfectly dry ground. Never was an international match played under more ideal conditions, and never was the good name of a national side more completely vindicated by the character of the play. Not a single blemish marred the game from the beginning to the end, t-he play being as clean as it was keen, while in the second hhaif, especially, the work of the Welshmen was exceptionally brilliant. They started none too well, and for the first half an hour were so well beaten by the Irishme-L that they could not have complained if three and not one try had been scored against them. But they are entitled to all the credit that can be given them for the soundness of their defence during this particular period and for their opportunism in seizing their first chance of equalising the scores just before the interval was announced. They succeeded in doing this by bringing off a pretty bout of typical Welsh passing, the ball going from Vile to Bu&h in the first instance, and then to Dyke, and finally to J. L. Williams, who sprinted over the line with aG clean a try as one could ",bh to see There was a stili sh breeze blowing from goal to goal, and when it ea-me Wales's turn to play with the wind at their backs in the second half every Welshman on the l;ap.sdowne-ro.tiground knew that all was well. And there must have been a couple of thousand enthusiasts who had made the Ion-, journey from ditferent parts of South Wales, and none of them concealed their pride of nationality. Most of them wore leeks or j datrodilg as symools oi their raee, and tne citizens of the Irish capital were amazed that eo many had come such a long way to witness a football match They could not understand, even if they could appreciate, sveh enthusiasm, Dublin take;- a very £ <d'ite kind of interest in Rugby football, the game being praetjoa-lly confined to the public schools and colleges. A working man player has occasionally come into prominence, but he is much more of the exception than the rule, and not one of his class piayed for Ireland on,Saturday. In Wales, on the other I' hand, there is no limit to the democracy of Rugby, and there is a place for peer or peasant in the national team provided he possesses the necessary playing ability. In New Zealand a similar order of things obtains, and that is partly the explanation why Rugby football has its strongholds in Wales and New Zealand. So far as one can judge, there is very little prospect of a change in Ireland, but that the game is gaining in popularity was evidenced by Saturday's record attendance at the Lansdowne-road oJK-losure. Close upon twenty thousand sur- rounded wliat I consider to be the finest playing area in the four countries. The ground is as levol as a billiard table, and, with the gramas out unusually short, it lends itself to an exceptionally fast game, which is favoured by the Irishmen. On Saturday the Irish forwards went off with a bang, and kept up a killing pace for about half an I hour. 'lime a.nd again they mowed the WtjL-hmen down with their wild rushes, but it was palpable that they could not long su .tain such a pace. Ea,rly in the second half they were fiying signals of distress. Th-oi r fiery impetuosity had exceeded their staying powers. The Welshmen, on the other hand, had discreetly nursed thenMelves, so that the moment they saw their opponents flagging they began to exert themselves and cast aside t,he restraint and £ eif-dis<sipline which they had so admirably exeroised up to that point. j It was then tha.t the spectators were treated to an exhibition of football which they bad never seen excelled. In-stead of defending, as they did in the first half, the Welsh backs laid themselves out to a series of brilliant attacking movements, the net result of which was the scoring of a dropped goal and five tries. Ali the tries were gained by the backs after perfect passi-ug, J. L. Williams going over with three and Reggie Gibbs and Louis Dyke one each. Like the good sportsmen they are and always have been, the Irish people cheered the Welsh players as they executed one pretty move- ment after another, and it was only time that saved Ireland from being completely routed. A try was almost a certainty every time the ball got into the hands of the Welsh backs, a-ti 01 wlium snowed capital form once they had got into their stride. Louis Dyke signalised his debut in the international arena by scoring a clever try and playing' a very fine game in every respect. Dyke has m-ade his place secure, and much as one ma-y sympathise with Trew in being left out cf the team in the last international match of the season, it cannot be argued that much of a mistake was made in choosing Dyke. Spiller was not quite himself, but he played a good, sound game, and made no mistakes. J. L. Williams was right on the top of his form, and his cleverness in beating three or four Irishmen, including the full-hack, before he scored his three tries was really splendid. The ball did not travel so often to the other wing, so that Gibbs did not come so much into the picture. What he had to do was done well. especially on the defensive in the first half. Percy Bush also put in a lot of useful defence, and again showed that he knows how to tackle. But it was in aggressive work that he was seen at his best, and his dropped goal was a replica of that which he kicked against Ireland at Cardiff three years ago. It was done in a twinkling, and the moment the ball was sailing over the bar Bush was fiat on his back, with an Irish for- ward embracing him, but the tackle was just about the tenth of a second too late. The deed had been done, and done well. Vile was not quite in his best form, and some of his passes to Bush were indifferently given. Still, the Newport captain never hesitated to go down to the ball at the feet of the Irish forwards when they were carrying all before them. Being impressed so much by the play of the Welsh backs in the second half, one is apt to forget that the foundations of the vic- tory were well and truly laid by the for- wards. Slowly, but surely, they wore down the Irish eight, and, finding1 them ultimately exhausted, they settled down to the profitable policy of heeling out the ball from the sprums and helping in various other ways in opening out the game for scoring pur- poses. They all played well, and they had a fine leader ill Tom Evans, who played a. great g'ame. Jack Bancroft, at iuil-bacji, was not equal to Hinton, the Irish ustodÜw, whù kicked a better length and found touoh oftener than the Swansea man. The play of the Irish backs was again disappointing, and O'Oallagiian, the prolific scorer of 51 tries, could not get through the Welsh defence. The forwards were Ireland's glory, but they were only at. their beet for half an hour, and during that time they wete positively great As a spectacle the game was worth the Ion.; journey to Ireland, especially as the railway companies did all they could to ensure the comfort of their passengers. Downright good football was played, and no one can question the title of Wales to some share of the cham pionship honours after beating Scotland by fourteen points to nil and Ireland by nine- teen points to three. Everything depends now upon the result of next Saturday's match between England and Scotland. A win for the Saxons will give them the championship, but a victory for the Scots will mean that they and the Welshmen will be bracketed for the honour, while poor Ireland is bound to be at the bottom of the list.

ST. PATRICK'S DAY I St. Patrick's annual demonstration in Oar- diff on Sunday was very successful. The area from which visitors were recruited in-ais larger, and the numbers considerably in cxcesa of those of 1900. Early in the after- noon a procession of nearly 2."u men and boys formed up in Cuthays Park. Each section v. as preceded by its band, and the banners carried were those of the Hibernian Society, the League of the Cross, and other organisations. The clergy and several lead- ing" laymen were in carriages. There were si* bands in all, and the procession was watched by thousands as it proceeded i^raaeh the principal streets to St. Mary's, Canton, where an impressive service was held. The high order of the music reflected credit upon Mr. Forward (organist) and 1-ti. T. J. Ooughlin (choirmaster!, who personally conducted his band. The sermon was preached by the itev. Father Darby, C -S.B. (Liverpool).

INDIAN STUDENT'S ARREST I A young Indian law. student was arrested at Vict-oria sStation on Sunday night when leaving th-e Newhaven boat train. He was chargoo on an extradition warrant with sedition in India. ilia arrest was effected by Inspector M'Carthy, of Scotland Yard, who conveyed his prisoner to Bow-street Police- i on. i

I''Nothing Very Serious" I WATCH COMMITTEE MEET SECRETLY It was hardly necessary to look a<t the agenda to know the business which prompted the Lord Mayor of Cardiff (Alderman John Chappell) to call a special watch committee meeting for this morning. Members whis- pered together prior to the start, and the chairman (Mr. J. T. Richards) looked anxious. At 10.35 the Ijord Mayor entered, and sat beside the presidential choir. This seemed to indicate that, he had no wiilll to pre- side, but Mr. Richards seemed unde- cided, and, walking to the head of the table, quietly inq-uired, I don't know whether you wish me to preside—I did not call the meet- iog?" The Lord Mayor replied in the affirmative. Mr. Eichards looked across at the reporteie and observed, May I ask you, my Lord' Mayor, to extend the same privilege as at the last meeting by asking the reporters to with- draw?" The Lord Mayor: Oh, yes, certainly. I so this morning. I have no desire to do any other. (To the Dresl: Will you oblige, see- ing that you were not present at the last gathering? There is nothing very serious— a little internal arrangement. 1fr. Forsdike fas the reporters rose): The two best-looking men are leaving. (Laughter.) One of the pressmen asked if a report would be given a.t the clc«;e, and the Lord Mayor replied, "les, I think so." At 11.15 the meeting was over, and the smiling faces betokened peace. Everything- satisfactory," said the Lord Mayor a.s he hurried to the council chamber, but Mr. J. T. Richards would not apeak. "I have nothing to communioate," said he emphatically.

Wales v England I .1 SOCCER INTERNATIONAL AT CARDIFF A good turf is essential to see the Associa- tion game played at its best, but with every prospect of the bright, dry weather of the i past few days continuing over this afternoon there is every likelihood of a very fine oon- j test being witnessed on the Cardiff Arms Park between England and Wales. Besides, Soccer internationals at Cardiff have always drawn big crowds, and there is every reason ,d ?,hera is eve:?y rea,?,on to thjnk that there will be a huge attend- ance to-day.

A MOTHER'S DESPAIR I Mrs, Martha Hay, Leyton. ?":¡s c'haiged at Stratford Police-court on Saturday with attempting to murder her two-year-old son and to commit suicide. The woman had been fnt-Ph worried through her husbanji bcdng o-ut of work, ancl on February Z5 ""h-3 and the child were found on a bed unconscious, with, two bottles of cblorodyne clo&e hy. The home, it was stated, was exceptionally clean, thausrh poor. Age and deafness had been against the husband recently in hia search for work. Mi's, Mary Grace Katchingtv st-iter-in-ktw of the accused, identi-fied the writing- of the following' note from ilrs. Hay to lierse'if :— Dear firace,—I pannot stand this worry any longer. There ts no more sign of Ha-rry getting work now than six m-rnths a.ro-- twemty-six years and not twelve montte' work at a time. I have felt as if I am g;Üng mad. At a last favour I ft.sk ci you— be a. mother to my Jía.ud; look after her aa if she was your own. Good-bye. 11AJITHA. The accused was committed for trial.

I Opens To-day: Brilliant Prospects. [BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] Racing under Jockey Club Rules will be opened to-day at Lincoln, anu everything augurs well for a most successful season. The stakes to be given in prizes amount to oon- I eMerably more than half-a-mi 1 lion sterling, and some 4,000 horses are at present in tram- ing. The King has a nice string under the charge of Richard Marsh at Egerton House, and the regal silk will be frequently seen on our pliucip-al racecourses in important weight-for-age events. Ats is ufiualt the Lincolnshire Handicap will be the first great ante-post betting event to be decided, and it is interesting to note this popular raee cele- brates its fifty-sixth anniversary. Like so many other of our big handicaps, it has been through many vicissitudes. At one time it was only worth 150 SONS; then the executive decided to add 500 e to the sub- scription money. This sufficca till 1873, when it became evident that, in face of the advance in i-aiue of the stakes attached to other handicaps, the Lincolnshire was in danger of effacement. The execu-tive decided they could not afford to add any- thing to the value of the stake, so the rinse made a coll-ec-tion among themselves and raised £ 500, and after that the race was always one of 1,000 sovs. added. The book- makers were only called upon for a sacrifice on this one occasion, as the increased pres- tige of the race attracted more people to the meeting, and the race fund was found weil able to bear the increased burden. Weare promised an exceptionally interest- ing race to-morrow, the general opinion being that never did the race appear eo open. Certainly at least a dozen horses are strongly fancied, end, with so many divisions of opinion, it is, indeed, a parlous task for the poor prophet to decide between them. The I following are the proba-ble starters and jockeys:— I Valens, 4yrs., ?t. Frank WoottcH I' OhTi?-tmas n.<?)-, SF"" ?t. l?!bs. -————— The Tower, Syfs., Set. CII};; —————— J>Uirium, 5v?., Ct; t 1.

Evidently the slirewd people ^tsooiated with him are awaTIB his Cam- bridgeshire win was no fluke, and it is ouite evident a ?petiuioa of t4e Umnsured c?up of 1904 is anticipated. Dou,M]e£s tAery Ilbe will be made of the "Daisy V fine sipeed to cut down the field, but in doing- this the horse may bring about his own defeat, as iiiis burden it, very different now from when j.e gained his sensational suecetos at Newmarket. Delirium has been going very curiously in the market-, and same outside influences must have been at work, as neither owner nor trainer bet. Delirium easily beat Perseus 111. (a smart horsei when galloped. He won three races off the reel last autumn, but probably has not yet reached the limit of hie best form. He has fine speed, and can stay the mile, 6 > what beats him should win. Kakadu does noc appear to be in the same favour as formerly, but he is a very genuine oandidate, and eai-ly on those who were cloBeiy asso- ciated with him took several substantial bets about his chance. I expect he will run well, but, I think, A-as too long in beating Antteus in his trial to hold an exceptionally good chanoe. iemnos lia6 not done enough work, and Desmond's Pride is too jady for me to recommend her for a race of this character. Kaffir Chief, despite his years, seems as lively as a. kitten, and he is undoubtedly so well handicapped as to hold a ohan-oe out of the ordinary. He is one decidedly not to be op,-s-ed. Edila,in seems to have trained stale, and Rath lea would do better if he was run here instead of in the Cup. Ednam has been since scratched, as the st-rai in of his preparation hae told on his weak forelege. Dttke of Sp,art-a and Vigilance, Sadler, jun's pair, have both had a lot of work pitched into them, and the Last-named inight win, but there is a doubt about his staying the full distance. Forerunner II. will be ridden by H. Stokes. Judging by the newspaper lists of work done, he hae had no gai loping, but auoh is not the oaSoe, As a matter of fact, the work of Kelly's horses is not reported! his stables being situated at Ashstead and not at, Epsom, though the laot-riaule(i is the place generally given. Forerunner II. has been hurdling, and so will be fit enough. He was fourth in this race two years ago, and last back, end sho.cl signs of reLLrnin- form. He had no chance with Edna-m and Kakadll in the Great Tom Pla-te, as he was left at the post. He now meets them on 111b. and 71b. batter terniis respectively. Robinson at one time seemed to farm th:.s race. He won it in piicceseive years with Clorarsce, V_i inkfield's Pride, and Prince Bar- caldine. He now hopes to score aga,in with the aid of Cmdereiio. I pointed out on the appearance of the weights how well the Latter was handicapped cn his two-year-old form. He has been a, cripple, but is now sound again. Fiscal War lias had a rattling good preparation, but has gone stale a little. To sum up, I shall rely on Delirium, Kaffir Chief, H-athtea. (with a run), and Forerunner II. to supply tlie winner. Reducing these, X shall plump for FORERUNNER II. I to brirg about the downfall of all the favourites. With two such fine jump-ere included as Cackler and Jerry N., the field for the Grand National need not this year fear comparison with that of any past decade. We 8o!'e pro- mised an exceptionally exciting race, and spectacularly the contest will live right up to its unequalled reputation.

Of M. A^iietonsimii-th's pair of cracks I prefer Cackler. Jerry M. is a bit of a "whistler," and theie is a doubt whether be will be able to stay the course. On the other hand, Cackler i-p Quite as fine a jumper, and be has now only 41b. more to carry than he bore successfully in the Grand Sefton J,1L8t November If he wins he will equal the records of Cloister and Manifesto, who eamb scored carrying 12st. Tib. Judas, Caubeen, and Calffioey finished respectively second, thifd, and eighth in last year's Grand National. Juda'S' latest performance hardly gave satis- faction, and I shall expect to see Can been finic-h in front of ftoim this ye&r, though Gleon- Mde is said to be Mr. Bibby's best. Garsey v,s a eix-year-o-ld when he ran ao for- ward ],a.t year, and his increased experience is expected to serve hiwell. Round Dance represents the "test form of those horsee who have yet to make acquaintance with the National course.
