The Health Committee of the Hey wood Town Cil has recommended the adoption of the system of treatment for their sewage. :e sewage works manager and the chairman the committee state in their report that, "for considering the tables and diagrams, and Clng the high percentage of purification obtained by the processes, also the enormous friction in the quantity of the sludge produced, they are firmly convinced that, with judicious ^Qagement, the sewage of Heywood can be actually and cheaply purified by the aid of teria. The Colwyn Bay District Council are highly gnant with the Conway Rural Council for Utnin to recommend that an isolation hos- for the joint districts should be dumped in their midst. Referring to a discussion the recent meeting of the latter, the Clfair" --II. of the Colwyn Bay Council dealt with the Object of plague precautions. He found, he laid, that the Conway Council had adopted one the most impudent proposals he had ever *hown any public body to make. It was dually decided to ask permission to erect a ue hospital at Colwyn Bay, the leading Bering-place in North Wales. He could not decent language in which to express his llliOn of such an outrageous suggestion. Qther members spoke to a similar effect. At tlle same meeting it was decided to join Aber- tele in the movement for giving a public to the Earl of Dundonald on his return Ollle from South Africa. From what transpired at the recent meeting Of the Rhyl Urban District Council it would 8eetn that almost a deadlock is threatened in to the light railways scheme. The metric Light Committee, in addition to other fietns, proposed to adopt a clause requiring the :tnpany to deposit £1,000 with the Council on he execution of the agreement, as security in of failure to exercise their powers under provisional order, and under the terms of Nreement with the Council. Mr. P. Mostyn "illiams, who moved the confirmation of the rt, remarked that as they had not had repiy of the promoters to the proposed new h clau8es, the Board of Trade had been requested "ithhold their sanction to the scheme until e agreement was settled. A telegram and a ter were subsequently road by the Clerk, Vom which H app NC.,<! that the promoters had up rough over the proposition, and from discuss Lou which followed it did not find favour with the Council. The terms "re accordingly considerably modified on 6ndment. Later on in the meeting a com- was appointed to join Abergele in fording a public welcome to Lord Dun- Vald. • ■4.8 the outcome of a public meeting of rate- of Runcorn, the Urban District Council. 81ttïng as a committee, have resolved to in- their investment of shares in the ^hsporter bridge to £ 10,000, in order to gain presentation on the directorate. The original ^position was for £ 5,000, but at the public "Feting of ratepayers it was shewn that this as too small to entitle Runcorn to a director. v-^t the monthly meeting of the Radcliffe Utrict Council, on the minutes of the Park °Ounittee coming up for confirmation, Mr. ^liffe moved that a resolution requesting ^toission from Earl Derby's agent to com- beellce the work of laying out the park at once tQ referred back. He was, he said, afraid that e Park Committee were not aware of the 1 Uncil's financial position, and as parks were a tQry be thought the matter might be deferred a short time. They had levied a 2s. lOd. rate, 7^ they would require 3s. 4d. next year. A reminded the Council that the Earl of had given five acres of land on condition to the park be laid out at once. Another ett>ber named Rogers was so astounded at Mr. Unliffe'8 proposition that he asked that chabod" should be written over the door of Council offices. The extinction fund for park, he reminded the Council, was only Jj& over a period of 27 years. It was further jointed out that a goodly subscription had 6 received and promised for the object. The otloll was rejected and the minutes passed.
A VALUABLE DISCOVERT. «
A VALUABLE DISCOVERT. « SCIENCE IN THE COLONIES. Australia, the laud of gold, has given to the t °*ld a great number of marvellous things, but discovery made in that wonderful country Mr. Charles Forde, an eminent scientist and 6tniet, will probably do more good to mankind tlerally than all the gold which Australia has 61' produced. It is the discovery of a natural ^Rotable substance which has the invaluable L*°Perty of acting in the process ot' digestion ?^ctly in the same way as Nature's own substance bile. Now, since bile is pessary tor the proper digestion of food and i continuance of a healthy state, and since Interference with, and irregularities in, its are Responsible for most common ail- such as biliousness, indigestion, con- j^Pation, or chronic headache, it will at once J* Obvious what enormous importance attaches a discovery of this kind.

This name became P^dually contracted to Bile Beans. The ex- vi and care in perfecting and compressing k preparation to the size of a small bean ha-s very great, but the result has been a small bean that the smallest child can take with 6, and a medicine of which last year the j "sumption reached some thirty millions ot in Australia alone, the rich and poor being the friends of this marvellous 16c.

KLERKSDORP OCCUPIED.
KLERKSDORP OCCUPIED. ESCORT ATTACKED. ENEMY DRIVEN OFF. Lord Roberts telegraphs that Barton and Douglas occupied Klerksdorp on Friday without opposition. The former advanced from Potchefstroom, and the latter from Ventersdorp. Douglas had some desultory fighting each day with Liebenberg's Commando, who endeavoured to protect their cattle, but would not make any stand. Our casualties were three wounded. Twenty-nine refugees accompanied Douglas through Ventersdorp to avoid being commandeered by Boers. Lord Roberts states that Major Welch, of the Hampshire Regiment, and two men of the Horse Artillery, who were wounded near Bothaville on the 6th inst., have died. Colonel Ross is still dangerously ill, but im- proving, while the rest of the officers and men wounded on the same occasion are doing well. During the process of putting a large convoy of wagons into Vryheid, on Wednesday, the escort was attacked, but the Boers were driven off without any casualties, by good practice made by 67th Battery. Several of the enemy were seen to fall. The despatch also reports two or three other slight affairs with the enemy.

FORBIDDEN FLAGS.
FORBIDDEN FLAGS. [RETJTEB'S SPECIAL CABLE.] Lourenco Marques, Friday. The Portuguese Government has forbidden Mr. Pott, the former Transvaal Consul, to fly the Transvaal and Free State flags, as the Govern- ment does not recognise these countries.
BOERS TREKKING SOUTH.
BOERS TREKKING SOUTH. BRITISH PRECAUTIONS. Mr. John Stuart, the war correspondent of the "Morning Post," wiring from Pretoria on Nov. 13, says: —The northern commandos are be- ginning to trek southward to the high veldt with their cattle. Two commandos have appeared at Balmoral, and a force is concentrating to stop them. Westward of Pretoria the passes of the Magaliesberg are all held in order to prevent such movements. A convoy recently left here for Rietfontein, near the Crocodile River. The escort, which has now returned, reports that the country is entirely clear south of the Magalies- berg. The condition of Miss Roberts has greatly improved.
RECRUITING IN CAPE COLONY.
RECRUITING IN CAPE COLONY. East London, Nov. 15. Recruiting is being actively carried on here. Eighty men are leaving shortly to join the Im- perial Light Horse, and nearly three hundred have joined the Colonial Division. The South African Constabulary is also attracting some good men, while others are joining the Com- mander-in-Chief's Bodyguard.
SICK BOERS AT DELAGOA BAY.
SICK BOERS AT DELAGOA BAY. Lourenco Marques, Nov. 15. A great amount of sickness is prevalent among the Boer refugees here, and the old residence of Mr. Potts, the former Consul of the Transvaal, has been converted into a Boer Hospital, over which the Transvaal Red Cross flag is flying.
UNFOUNDED ALLEGATIONS OF COWARDICE,
UNFOUNDED ALLEGATIONS OF COWARDICE, Lord Roberts's attention has been drawn to the statements in Lord Rosslyn's book and he cables:—" I am satisfied that neither the Household Cavalry nor the 10th Hussars did anything to discredit the grand reputation during the reverse which occurred at Sanna's Post on the 31at March last. As stated in my despatch of the 19th June last, I personally in- quired into the case from the principal actors in it, and I was able to report to Her Majesty's Government that the troops behaved in the most gallant manner.' Not a whisper of mis- conduct on the part of any of the corps engaged en that occasion has ever reached me." As a result Lord Rosslyn has offered an unqualified apology to the two regiments.
THE CHESHIRE VOLUNTEERS.
THE CHESHIRE VOLUNTEERS. FAREWELL TO JOHANNESBURG. Statements have recently been made to the effect that the Special Service Section of the Cheshire Volunteers, whioh left Chester for the front many months ago, had departed from Johannesburg for England. Newspapers have reached friends and relatives in Chester of some of the men, and in them it is reported that the Volunteers were inspected; that the non-com- missioned officers had attended a farewell ban- quet", and that the section was about to depart for home. It is now stated, however, that in- formation has been received to the effect that when the Volunteers were about to leave Johannesburg Lord Kitchener called upon them for convoy duty, and that they are proceeding on a march across country. Nothing is officially known yet at the War Office or elsewhere in England when the Cheshire Volunteer Section will be returning. The "Johannesburg Gazette" publishes the following:—"A smoking concert was given by the warrant officers, staff-sergeants, and sergeants of the 2nd Battalion Cheshire Regiment, at the Sergeants' Mess, Mounted Police Barracks, Johannesburg, on Friday evening, October 12th, to bid farewell to the Volunteer sergeants who were to leave for England on the following day. The chair was taken by Sergt.-Major M. Foley, 2nd Cheshire Regiment. In his opening remarks the Sergeant-Major said he was gratified to see so many strange faces of men whom he had not had the pleasure of meeting before. He welcomed them all, saying that the motto of the non-com- missioned officers of the Cheshire Regiment was Let 'em all come." After a brief speech, the Chairman proposed the toast of the Queen, which was drunk with musical honours. All glasses were replenished after toasting the Queen, and the items of the long and excellent programme wore at once proceeded with. Sergeants Archer and Matthews rendered the necessary accompani- ments on the piano, and the honour of singing the first song was accorded to Sergeant Holland, of the Volunteers. The whole of the items, which were chiefly of a humorous nature were well re- ceived.—A few closing remarks were made by the Chairman, responded to by representatives the Chairman, responded to by representatives of the different corps in the garrison. The National Anthem was sung, bringing a delightful evening to a close. After a terrible handshaking, all the members and visitors dispersed to their separate places of abode."
USE OF EXPANDING BULLETS.
USE OF EXPANDING BULLETS. Mr. John Stuart, war correspondent of the Morning Post," wiring from Pretoria on November 17, says: —General Alderson, com- manding the Mounted Infantry, and Colonel Mahon have gone to Egypt. The passages of the men of Lumsden's horse who are retumiug are being paid out of Colonel Lumsden's Fund. The 8th Hussars have discarded their carbines, and are now armed with rifles. The wounds received at Bothaville and in other recent actions are severe. They have been caused by expanding bullets. Among others who have suffered in this way is Colonel Ross. Correspondents naturally refrain from describing the wounds in order to spare the feelings of relatives, but great indigna- tion prevails here. The Boers are treating our men as wild beasts to be shot like big game, while the British are compelled to defend them- selves with ordinary bullets. Surprise is felt here at the apathy of the public regarding this. They do not appear to realise the frightful nature of the injuries caused by such bullets. Otherwise they would demand proper punishment for the men caght using expanding and soft-nosed bullets or they would give our men liberty to use the same. A Scotsman named Clark, who has escaped from Pietersburg through the Boer lines, reports that the Boers have plenty of ammunition, cattle, and mealies, but no other supplies. Re- sistance, he says, is kept alive by lies regarding British defeats, the invasion of Cape Colony, and the destruction of the railway.
ONE OF DE WET'S PURSUERS.
ONE OF DE WET'S PURSUERS. A CESTRIAN'S ADVENTURES. An interesting letter has been received by his relatives in Chester from a Cestrian at the front— Bombardier E. Pope, of G Section Pom-Poms, attached to 28th Battery Royal Field Artillery. It is dated 15th October, from Krugersdorp. After visiting Johannesburg and Pretoria, Bombr. Pope was sent to Heidelburg to join a section of Pom-poms under General Hart's Brigade in pursuit of De Wet. They again went down country and crossed the Vaal River to Kopjes, On arriving there they found De Wet had moved on to Rhenoster River. They proceeded to this place under command of Lord Kitchener, and ao- companied by three other columns, but discovered that De Wet had recrossed the Vaal River and entered the Transvaal. The columns then divided and continued the pursuit in different directions, and after a sixteen days' march the column to which he was attached reached Krugersdorp. After resting there two days to get a fresh supply of horses and cattle, they resumed their march to Potchestroom, having several encounters with the enemy en route. After two days' stay at that place they had to evacuate it, as they were unable to obtain supplies, owing to the destruc- tion of railway communication. The column continued to scour the country for the fugitive general, but after a continual march for 32 days they returned to Krugersdorp.
QUEEN AND COLONIALS. «
QUEEN AND COLONIALS. « ROYAL APPRECIATION. The Qneen on Friday received and inspected at Windsor Castle the party of invalided Colonial soldiers from South Africa who have been visiting Cambridge and Oxford. The men arrived at Windsor at about half-past 10 a.m., and after a cordial reception from the towns- people marched up to the Castle, where the Queen inspected them in St. George's Hall, the detachment from each colony passing separ- ately before her Majesty, who addressed several of them individually. Two of the men were specially presented. At the close of the inspec- tion the Queen said it gave her great pleasure to see them all there, and to thank them for their loyal services to herself and Empire. She wished them all God speed and a safe return home. This was the formal ending of the cere- mony, but one duty yet remained. "Three cheers for her Majesty the Queen," called out Major Synge. The walls of St. George's Hall rang with the cheers, which echoed and rever- berated throughout the building. Give her Majesty one more Colonial cheer" some one shouted, and the Australians yelled forth the cooee!" with which, in very different circum- stances, they had gone into action, with the image of their Queen in their hearts, and their pulses quickened by the love of Empire. The visitors were afterwards shewn over the Castle and its surroundings and entertained at luncheon by the Mayor of Windsor in the Town Hall.
NEW BOOKS.
NEW BOOKS. "RICHARD YEA-AND-NAY. Mr. Maurice Hewlett, having achieved fame with his romance, "The Forest Lovers," has blossomed out as an historical novelist in "Richard Yea-and-Nay." The career of the great Richard, Cceur-de-Lion, in its bald historical form, divested of the many legends that cling tenaciously to that stirring chapter of European history, is still a more wondrous story than is evolved from the average romancist's pen, and it can be readily understood how these grand materials have been utilised by Mr. Hewlett. The most striking thread of romance which the writer weaves into the biography of the lion- hearted monarch, comes in the form of the inevit- able woman, the lovely Jehane Saint-Pol, a Nor- man lady with an iron will that bends even the mighty Crusader to her high purpose. Richard, before his father's death, is fascinated by this witching maiden, but despite his vows to make her his wife she persuades him to give her up for the unhappy Alois of France, a princess whom he rejects on the discovery of her indiscreet affection for his own father and brother John. True to his contradictory nature, Richard returns to his first love, Jehane, snatches her from her bridegroom, Gurdun, during the marriage ceremony, and carries her off a not unwilling captive. On his father's death, however, and his accession to the throne of England, he is persuaded by this strange- ly contradictory charmer, whom he did love, to break his vow of making her his Queen, and to take instead the little Spanish beauty, Princess Berengere, whom he did not love. These two ladies accompanied the warrior king on his great crusade in Palestine, where he performed prodigies of valour, and where the devoted Jehane achieved a heroic act of self-abnegation. The murder of the Marquess of Montferrat by an Arabian assassin, attributed to the secret agency of Richard, has always been a fruitful theme of controversy among historical writers, and it is here turned to fine dramatic account. Montferrat is shewn to be enlisting the services of the famous Eastern assassins against Richard's person, and his guardian angel, Jehane, executes a clever counter- stroke by procuring the assistance of that fatal agency against the Marquess himself. The un- speakable price which she pays for this service is nothing short of becoming a member of the harem of the odious "Old Man of Musse," the hoary chieftain of the band of notorious assassins. It is unnecessary here to follow the changing fortunes of the English King in his later adven- tures on the Continent, but the purpose of the author is further served by making the slayer of Richard an emissary of the same terrible Old Man of Musse, and not, according to the historical version, the disappointed Gurdun himself. That latter worthy, in point of fact, is represented as losing his life in conflict with the murderer who has just sped the fatal arrow to the monarch's body. The story, as befifls its foundation, is studded with thrillingly dramatic situations, and appeals irresistibly to the historical student. Readers of Mr. Hewlett's former efforts scarcely require to be told that he has in this stirring narrative preserved his inimitable glamour of mediaeval life. Some of the "strange oaths" and strong situations may prove rather too realistic for squeamish modern stomachs, but they are in keeping with the spirit of the times dealt with, when a spade was always known as such, and not as an agricultural implement. "The Life and Death of Richard Yea-and- Nay," by Maurice Hewlett (London and New York: Macmillan and Co.; 6s.). "The Jumblies and Other Nonsense Verses," by Edward Lear (London: Fredk. Warne and Co.; 3s. 6d.).—As a sequel to the recently-published "Pelican Chorus," by the same author, Messrs. Warne have now issued a separate volume, con- taining another ten nonsense rhymes, which com- pletes the series of Lear's "Nonsense Verses." Edward Lear, the charming versifier, did not illustrate many of his inimitably droll pieces to any great extent, some of them having merely a comical head-piece. Thanks to the enterprise of Messrs. Warne, however, Mr. L; Leslie Brooke, the clever artist, has now supplied a profusion of telling pictures, which are in perfect accord with the intensely droll rhymes. "The Jumblies," who went to sea in a sieve, make a very laughable sketch, and the others are all equally amusing. The volume will be exceedingly popular among the juvenile readers, while the peculiarly clever jingling verses and the lively humour of the drawings will not fail of appreciation among their elders who can properly appraise merit. Baily's Hunting Directory."—The fourth annual issue of this book, published at the office of "Baily's Magazine of Sports and Pastimes," is to hand. To hunting men it is indispensable, containing as it does complete and valuable in- formation relating to the nobleman's most popular sport. A new and opportune feature of this year's publication consists of a long series of lists of hunting men who have gone to South Africa in the Regular Army, in the Imperial Yeomanry, and Volunteers, their ranks and mention of pro- motions and distinctions and also of misfortunes of war that have befallen them. These lists shew convincingly how many good men in the Yeo- manry and Volunteers owed to the hunting field. An alphabetical list of hunt servants is another important addition. The articles "On Summer- ing a Country," and "Drafting Hounds" are excellent, and a distinctly happy idea is that of giving a series of accounts of famous foxhunting runs with maps. The first, "The Greatwood Run of the Duke of Beaufort's, is worthy of the priority given it. The accounts of hunt establishments and the maps have been brought carefully up to date. (Price 5s.) The Law of Agricultural Holdings"—by Sylvain Mayer, B.A., Ph. D., barrister-at-law (London: Waterlow and Sons, Ltd., 5s.). This book, which has now reached its fourth edition, contains in addition to the contents of previous editions the Agricultural Holdings Act, 1900. The Agricultural Holdings Acts, 1883 and 1900, together with the Tenants Compensation Act, 1890, and the Market Gardeners Compensation Act, 1895, will, pursuant to section 14 of the Agricultural Holdings Act, 1900, be known in future as the Agricultural Holdings Act, 1883 to 1900." In his preface the author states that he has endeavoured to incorporate and discuss the numerous decisions that have been given on the subject of agricultural holdings, and has included the Law of Distress and Amendment Acts, 1888 and 1895, and the rules under these Acts. There are two introductory chapters, one devoted to the Principles of the Agricultural Holdings Acts, 1883 and 1900," and the other to the procedure for the recovery of compensation. These at least should prove invaluable; but an appendix which gives a long series of prece- dents and forms to correspond with the change in the procedure, together with other matter, immeasurably enhances the importance of the work as a help to landlords, agents, and tenants of farm holdings who in their own interests should be in the possession of such an up-to- date publication.

IJfORTH CHESHIRE.
IJfORTH CHESHIRE. The fixture of this pack on Wednesday was at Appleton Hall, near Warrington. Plenty of foxes were found, but did not produce much sport. An exciting incident took place at a large stone quarry, a brace of foxes jumping about 50 feet into the quarry. Two couple and a half of hounds followed, but fortunately none of the hounds was killed, but they were badly shaken* Gosden took the remainder of the pack into the quarry, where they killed both foxes. A fairly large field met the above pack at Har- grave Green on Thursday. The master (the Earl of Enniskillen) was unavoidably absent, and Gos- den (the huntsman) took the field to the Saighton Drives. Some time was spent there without finding a fox, and Saighton Gorse was also found tenant- less. A long trot brought us to Waverton Gorse, and Davies (the keeper) had a good fox waiting for us. Reynard set his head for Hargrave Green, and the huntsman getting his hounds on the line, we ran at a nice pace past the Hargrave Schools, and on to the Crow's Nest Cover, where we lost him. This was a very nice hunt of about twenty minutes' duration. Handley was blank, but we found at Huxley Cover. The fox went away in the direction of Tiverton, and turning to the left ran up to Iddenshaw. Hounds ran merrily to within a field of Stapleford, and turning to the left we ran him into a drain near the Farmers' Arms, between Huxley and Tattenhall. The fox was soon bolted, and the line was taken up to Hoofield. We left the cover on our right, and went past Iddenshaw, and over the Chester-road on to Tar- porley. Hounds were finally stopped in Ash WTood, near the steeplechase course, at five o'clock, it then being almost dark. This was a very nice finish to rather a poor day, the hunt lasting about one hour and thirty minutes. Among those present were the Duke of Westminster, the Earl of Shrewsbury, Mr. Lee Townshend, Mr. Birkett, Major Drury, Mr. and Mrs. Littledale, Mr. and Mrs. Tyrer, Mrs. and Miss Hollins, Mrs. Pilkington, Mr. Charles Reynolds, Mr. Arthur Brocklehursti Mr. Hugh Pell, Mr. and Mrs. Brassey, Mr. Walter Jones, Mr. B. Jones, Mr. Alfred Ashton, Mr. J. Tinsley, Mr. H. Tinsley, Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Blain, Mr. Hewitt, Mr. and Mrs. Pennefather, &c. Barrowmore Hall was the fixture,for Saturday, and a large field was present to meet the master, Lord Enniskillen. The Duke of Westminster was again present, bent upon having another day's hunting before going to his military duties in London. Among those also present were Capt. and Mrs. Higson, Mr. Littledale, Mr. Lee Towns- hend, Col. Tait, Mr. Jameison, Mrs. Howard, Mr. James Tomkinson, M.P., Mr. Charles Tomkinson, Mr. Powell, Mr. Birkett, Mr. B. Jones, Mr. H. Tinsley, Mr. J. Tinsley, Mr. Hugh Lyle Smyth, Miss Smyth, Mrs. Tinsley, Mr. H. E. Wilbraham, Mr. Jarmay, and Mr. H. Hewitt. The small covers round the hall were drawn blank. Hounds soon found a fox behind Mr. Willis's mill. He ran a couple of fields into the gorse. Here about two brace of foxes were on foot. One soon set his head for Tarvin, but being headed turned back into the gorse. He made his exit again on the other side, and we ran over the brook close to Ashton Hayes. Then the fox turned to the right for the Chester-road, and then turned back and was marked to ground in a rabbit hole. The Barn House Cover, near Dunham, is very seldom without a fox. Gosden put his hounds in cover, and they soon told us there was a fox at home. He made a bold start for Barrow Station, but doubling we ran on by the gorse. Hounds hunted their fox slowly close to the railway at Ashton Hayes, when all traces of him were lost. Dunham Gorse was the next draw, a fox soon leaving his home, running up to the railway near the village. He turned sharply back, a train just passing as he was seen on the line. Hounds pur- sued him through the gorse at a good pace, and Up to Bridge Trafford, where he turned to the left over a portion of the water-covered meadows. He again passed the Barn House, and we lost him close to Swinford Mill. The Willow Beds near Dunham village held a fox, which ran at a good 0* urnin pace for about a mile. Turning back again our fox tried to reach his starting point, but hounds getting a view, put a good finish to the day by rolling him over in a hedgerow. SOUTH CHESHIRE. The South Cheshire pack met on Friday al Brindley Lea, the morning being quite an ideal one for hunting. Among the large field present were the Duke of Westminster, the Earl of Shrewsbury, Mr. Henry Chaplin, M.P., Colonel Tait, and Lady Lettice Grosvenor. The Bath Wood, Spurstow, gave us a fox which found safety underground after going a few fields. Ridley Wood was tried in vain, but Chesterton Wood, close to, held a fox. He was viewed leaving the cover with his head set for Cholmondeley. Mr. Corbet soon got hounds on his line, but after a few fields had been traversed in pursuit, he turned to the right, making for Peckforton Wood, and then turned again for Spurstow. We ran up hill and soon arrived at the Ash Wood. From here the hounds began to run over a beautiful country. Our fox made another turn for Cholmondeley, orossiug the road by Higginsfield. Hounds at last got a view of their fox, and killed him close to the Castle. It was a good hunt of about one hour and twenty minutes. BLUECAP. THE CHESHIRE BEAGLES. On Tuesday Hartford was the fixture. A small contingent of half-a-dozen only took the journey from Chester, and a few residents of the neighbourhood joined us at the meet, but a large number of villagers from Hartford and Davenham and a few farmers from the district made up a large field. Hatton, the head" game- keeper, has always a hare ready for us, and we had no sooner entered the second field (a fallow) than up she jumped. At first scent was very good, and hounds rattled her along for a couple of rings between Moulton, Davenham, and the L. and N.-W. Railway. Then scent failed, and shortly afterwards we changed hares. Eventually hounds killed their hare in the river after they had been running for over two hours. We soon found again upon a pasture field of Mr. John Whitby's (Eton Hall), after going to the outskirts of Davenham village. This hare doubled back, crossed the river Weaver, and ran to the railway near to Hartford Station, where hounds were stopped and withdrawn from the dangerous vicinity of the railway. We re-crossed the river, and after another hare had been killed we found fur rather too plentiful in the dingles opposite the Abbey, and as hounds had done quite enough for one day, returned to Hartford after a capital day's sport. On Thursday we met at Mickle Trafford. It was a pouring wet morning, and the country was On Thursday we met at Mickle Trafford. It was a pouring wet morning, and the country was almost standing in water. After a long draw we found a hare upon Mr. Kelsall's farm, and after hunting her as far as Plas Newton we changed hares. The fresh one was a regular garden hare, and dodged about between Mr. Tyrer's garden, Messrs. Dickson's nurseries, and a neighbouring Messrs. Dickson's nurseries, and a neighbouring turnip field for a long while. At last we fortu- nately got on to the line of our first hare, and a rare good burst followed. Hounds raced away nearly to Mr. B. C. Roberts's house ftt Upton, when they turned right-handed and went towards Wervin. Bending right-handed again, they sped across the fields to Mr. Kelsall's farm, and pulled her down within fifty yards of where we first found her, after a very fast spin without a check. LEVERET. ROYAL ROCK BEAGLES. On Wednesday the Royal Rock Beagles met at Thurstaston. Hounds were thrown off close to the station, and a hare was found almost at once in a field close to the shore of the Dee. She at once almost took us straight up to the garden at Dawpool, the residence of the late Mr. T. H. Ismay. Here we had a slight check, but luckily the master (Mr. C. F. Hutton) heard a hound speaking on the road outside the garden. The rest of the pack soon got on the line, and after a bit of slow hunting on the road, and in the fields on the north side of Irby, the hare took us straight into the covers at Arrowe Hall. Here we were all afraid she would beat the hounds in the big woods, but again we had a great piece of luck. Mr. J. Gould Smyth (our former master) heard a few hounds speaking to a line on the far side of the covers, and after getting the whole pack to them this good hare took us past Wood- church and down close to Upton Station, where she swam the '"Fender" brook, now bank full. Hounds also crossed, but checked for a little on the railway, until they again got on the scent the other side the line and ran their hare right up to Oxton, where they finally killed her in the grounds of one of the houses there. They richly deserved their blood, after a rUn which from point to point is exactly four and a half miles. The time was an hour and fifty minutes, so the pace was not tremendous, but it was a first-rate hunting run from staH to finish, and the hounds were only really helped twice. All who saw the run were quite satisfied, and indeed if they had not been they must have been hard to please. BEAGLEB.

OLD FALSE TEETH BOUGHT.
During a run with the South Cheshire Hounds on Tuesday, Mrs. Hugh Peel was thrown and fractured one of her ribs. We are glad to hear that she is progressing favourably. OLD FALSE TEETH BOUGHT. Many ladies and gentlemen have by them old or disused false teeth, which might as well be turned into money. Messrs. R. D. & J. B. Fraser, of Princes-street, Ipswich (established since 1833), buy old false teeth. If you send your fceetb to them they will remit you by return post the utmost value; or, if preferred, they will make you the best offer, and hold the teeth over for your, reply. If reference necessary, apply to Messrs. Bacon & Co., Bankers, Ipswich.
THE INFIRMARY CONTROVERSY.
THE INFIRMARY CONTROVERSY. Sir,—Kindly allow me a few lines in your valuable paper on this controversy. I was much surprised to read the sweeping assertions and allegations by Mr. Coroner Bate at the recent inquest on the late John Williams, and I have yet to learn, even if it should be proved at the coming investigation that the Infirmary officials are at fault, that an isolated case such as this justifies any person in passing judgment on this noble institution and asserting that this is the customary way in which the Infirmary officials deal with their patients. I think that personal treatment and observation for a period of twelve months inside the Infirmary should have more weight than any outside opmion ex- pressed by people who have no knowledge of the institution's methods and inner workings. I was a patient for twelve months. During this time I underwent five operations. I had a leg amputated, and from the number of operations I think mine was a serious case and needed skilful treatment. I cannot speak too highly of the splendid treat- ment I received from the doctors and the very kind attention by the nurses. I was a trouble- some patient, but I received nothing but patience and encouragement from all. All classes, both rich and poor, were treated alike, and I can look back to many happy days which I have spent within this institution. I hope that the coming investigation will clear the air of the suspicions that have been aroused, and that the Infirmary will continue to receive the financial support which it so richly deserves.—I remain, &c., WILLIAM HARPER. 11, St. Anne's Place, Chester.

QUEEN'S GALLANT GUEST. ♦*
QUEEN'S GALLANT GUEST. ♦ SIR REDVERS BVLLER VISITS HER MAJESTY. Windsor has worthily shewn its admiration for Sir Redvers Buller during his short visit, accompanied by Lady Buller to her Majesty. The streets were gay with flags, and the public reception on, Saturday and the send-off on Sunday afternoon were extremely enthusiastic. Sir Redvers and Lady Buller were met at the station by the Mayor and Corporation, and drove to the Castle, where they dined with her Majesty. Sir Redvers had also an audience with the Queen. The visit was concluded after lunch on Sunday, when leave was taken of the Queen, and the departing guests drove to the station in one of the Royal carriages, through cheering crowds, to take train for Hungerford.

At the Devonians' banquet to General Buller on the 30th inst. about 600 persons will be accommodated.
DISTRICT COUNCILS. »
DISTRICT COUNCILS. » MALPAS. The monthly meeting of this Council was held on Wednesday. Mr. Evan Langley presided, and there were present the Rev. C. Wolley-Dod, Messrs. R. Birch, J. Done, J. Hough, R. Reeves, Lieutenant-Colonel Barnston, Messrs. G. S. Morgan, T. T. Chubb (sanitary inspector), J. W. Parker (surveyor), and G. Richardson (clerk).—Mr. Langley expressed regret that the Chairman was still unable to attend. He had been unwell for some time, but he was pleased to learn that he was now stronger, and he hoped they would find him present at their next meeting.—The Surveyor reported that Mr. Huxley had cut three drains across a road at Hampton without giving notice, and had not put the pipes in sufficiently deep for the traffic that would pass over it. He had also stopped the course of the water getting off the road. He had an application from Mr. J. H. Warburton Lee for some metal to be put on the bridge at Dymock's Mill. He (the surveyor) had met Mr. Hough on the spot, and they con- sidered that 10 or 15 tons of macadam would improve the road at the top.—It was decided to call upon Mr. Huxley to com- plete the road to the surveyor's satisfaction, and that the recommendations of the surveyor as to the road at Dymock's Mill be adopted.— Mr. St. John Charlton wrote on behalf of Lord Cholmondeley to the effect that instructions in accordance with the order of the Council had been given for the abatement of the nuisance at Mrs. Griffiths's, and that the work would be done as soon as possible. He also wrote as to the purification tank in the well meadow at Malpas, stating that he would be glad if the work could be done as soon as possible.—The Clerk said he bad replied that the work would be put in hand at once.—Mr. G. White, of Edge, wrote on behalf of the Oddfellows' Club, asking for permission to lay a water-pipe from a point on the Liverpool water main to their property at Oldcastle, the distance being about 510 yards. It was agreed to grant the permission to cut the drain under the surveyor's supervision. A letter was read from Mr. Howard, of Broughton, stating what his men had done in taking the pipes out, cleaning them, and putting them in again at Broughton. He would be glad, however, in future to comply with the wishes of the Council, in letting them do the whole of the work when required.—Mr. Morgan stated that he had seen Mr. Howard, who had ex- plained the matter fully to him. He held no brief for Mr. Howard, but the circumstances were these: Mr. Howard's men had occasion to open a drain which had become clogged, and in tracing it up they found the stoppage at a point which necessitated the crossing of the road. The men continued the cutting, and when he (Mr. Howard) arrived he called upon the Council's men, and the work was completed under their supervision. A letter was submitted from the County Council as to the proposed Wych Brook Bridge, stating that the Flintshire County Council had been written to and that if that body considered the bridge was necessary the Cheshire Council would be prepared to appoint representatives to discuss the matter with the District Council and the Flintshire Council's representatives. They invited the District Council to appoint representatives in case the matter was pro- ceeded with. Messrs. Birch, Penk and Reeves were accordingly appointed.—The Sanitary In- spector reported the district free from in- fectious disease.

The period chosen was the times of the Stuart sovereigns, and the troubles between King and Parliament, Church and Puritans, and Romanists were dealt with. It was shewn how it was really a struggle as to whether the Church should or should not cease to exist and a new body be set up, and how ultimately the old Church of England prevailed. Mr. R. Kellock presided, and at the close the vicar thanked him for doing so. He also thanked Mr. Duckworth for manipulating the lantern. Two more lectures of the series will be given.
