SLUMP IN DUKES r .0- MR. LLOYD GEORGE I P: Discusses the Budget. AFTER AXE AND CHISEL COMES THE SANDPAPER. IVELY SCENES: NUMEROUS EJECTIONS Hr. Lloyd George, in the course of his peeoh a.t Newcastle on Saturday afternoon, laid:- I have ijot come here to deliver a speech. I have just come here for a PLAIN, straight talk about the Budget, the opposition to it, and the prospects of both. The Bill has emerged out of its forty days and forty nights—(laughter)—in the wilder, ness much strengthened and improved. We have done our best to meet hard cases; amidst the taunts of the people who proposed them. I have done five months' hard labour. (A Voice: What about the women?" and disturbance.) But the Bill in its main structure remains. All the factors are there, and the land tax and the spirit tax are there. (Cheers, interruptions, and ejections of male suffragists continued.) We are through the last stage where the substance of the Bill can be fashioned. The Committee stage is the stage for the axe and the chisel and the plane. The Report stage is the stage for the sandpaper, end the eubstanoe remains. Going to be an Act I You see the Bill practically in the form in which it is going to become an Act of Parliament. (Another objection here took placeO The Bill is an attack neither on industry nor property. There has only been one class of stock that has gone down badly. There has been a great slump in dukes. (More ejections were witnessed.) All other forms of stock have improved. Why should Liberalism seek to destroy industry? Most of the people who never work for a living belong to the Tory party. (Another two ejections.) As a matter of fact, the richest men in the House of Commons happen to sit on the Liberal aide of the House. And yet we are told we are engaged at the present moment in destroying property. All we ask is that wealth should pay its fair share. One class of people who detest the Budget are those who are seeking completely to change the fiscal system—to tax fo-od--md they know that once this Budget is through there is an end to their desire. (Cheers.) Powerful Landlords I The second most powerful class are the landlords. They are angry because the land taxes are taxes which will grow. The working classes are tired of Wal- bottles. (Cheers.) They want better houses and more air to recruit their exhausted energies altar toil. They will get it. (Cheers.) This Budget will help them to get it- (cheers)—-and more land means more revenue from land taxes. The chief objeotion of the landowners is to the valuation proposals. That goes to the root of the land ques- tion. There had never been a great public undertaking in this oountry in connection with which there (had not been enormous sums demanded for land far in excess of its agricultural value. State Valuation j You see where valuation oomes in- I have my bag packed with papers in which landlords have demanded the heaviest price they could possibly extort when additions were wanted to existing property. The State valuation for the first time places a perfectly impartial valuation on all the land in the kingdom. It forms a standard to guide the buyer. When I aak for 5 per cent. of landlords' incomes from collieries they say, "You're a thiefyou are worse, you're an attorney. Worst of all. you are a Welshman." They have got to stand the Weilshiman this time. Collecting the Dead Rent I Having set the paoe of a euoceaefol mining speculator in Yorkshire, the Chan- cellor Aid, My Budget came in lale, but not too late. It will give us 5 per oent. on royalties, a half-penny on the capital value of building land, 20 per cent. on the increased price when the land is sold, and when the land- lord passes to another sphere we will col- lect the dead rent. When the lease falls in we get another 10 per cent., and on royalties from other seams which may be worked 20 per oent. Where's the inj ustice of it? I have listened to criticisms for five iQonths, but have yet to learn of an injus- tice in these taxes when the State needs money. The landowners should feel honoured that Providence has given them a chance to Pay a. little into the poor box. Perhaps if they don't do it we will do it for them. (Cheers.) We are going to send the Bill ttp. All the taxes or none. (Load cheeTS.) Now, what will the Lords do. I tell you frankly it is a matter which concerns them more than it concerns us. The more irresponsible and feather- headed amongst them want to throw it out. What will the rest do? Mutinous Lords' Crew I It will depend on the weather. PttwrLard Lansdowne, with his creaky oM ship and his mutinous orew. has got to sail through the narrows, with one eye on the weather- glaas and the other on the forecastle. But it does not depend on him. It will depend, in the first place, upon the report from the cotintry-not Lord Lansdowne, not Mr. Balfour, tnjt Sir Acland Hood, the chief Tory Whip. He is the real sailing master, and that I ancient mariner is ensued a.t the pz?sent moment in trying to decide whe?e=rl ist safe to shoot the albatross. He will pro-I bably not disoover until it is too late. Complete Control of the Commons I The Commons, and the Oonrmon-8 alone, have the complete oon/trol of ways and means. Whiait our fathers obtained through centuries of struggle, strife, and bloodshed we will not lighitly give up. We are not gomg to be traitors. (Lomd cheers.) The Constitution is to be torn- to pieces. Forcing a Revolution I Let them realise what they are doing. They are forcing a revabution. The Lords may decree a revolution, but it is the people who will direct it. (Loud cheers.) Issues will be raised they little dream of. Who is responsible for the scheme whereby one man is enga,d through Me in grinding labour and ekeing out a pre- carious existenoe, and another man is rolling in luxury which he does not earn? Where did that table of the law come from? Questions such as theee will be asked, and the answers arc charged witii Peril for the order of things the Peers represent, but tibe3, are fraught /with rare and refreshing fruit for the parched lips of the multitude who ire treading the dusty road along which the People have marched through the dark ages which arj now merging into light. (Loud cheers). Mr. Lloyd George sat down at 4.22.

Dr. Cook's Return.I
Dr. Cook's Return. I WHY HE CAVE HIS RECORDS TO WHITNEY. PARIS, Sunday. In the ccm-cthulmg chapters of Dr. Cook's narrative "The Conquest of the North Pole," which will be published in the "New York Herg-ld" (European edition) to-morrow, Dr. Cook gives a, thrilling account of his return from the Pole. "During the first hour of April 23," he says, "our backs were turned to the Pole and to the sun. Our exploring ambition had been thoroughly sa-tisfied, and -there were few glances backward as we n-ow moved a.long. The feeling of elation slowly sub- sided with a realisation of t,he prospective difficulties of the return. Time was at hand in the lower latitudes for the ice to break and drift southwards. Former expeditions had planned to return to land to secure a line of retreat by May 1. We could not hope to do so until early in June." Dmring the first days, however, with fair weather and favourable ice, long marches were made, but after that difficulties were encountered. On May 6 the party were stopped by unusual gales, end when no longer able to force the dogs through the blinding drift- were compelled to seek the lee of uplifted block ice. Several days of icy despair followed, and starvation seemed in- evitable. Ambition sank to the lowest ebb. On May 24, with strength failing and hopes low, a straight course was set for the musk ox lands of the imner oroesinig at the 83rd parallel. At the end of twenty days they found themselves fair down Crown Prince Gustav Sea, with open water and impassable small ice as a barrier between them and Heiberg Island. No game was found. They were unable to feed the dogs, and they were given the freedom of their wild progenitors the wolves. The last of the ammunition was expended in securing birds for food. After that by loop-lines and sling-shots birds were still captured. Early in September they were beset on the shams of Baffin Bay with no food, fuel, or ammunition. They returned westward to Cape Spar bo, where they averted famine by securing walrus, bear, musk ox, and other!! animals. On February 18, 1939, they started with a re-modellod sled. Annootok was reached in the middle of April. Here," says Dr. Cook, I met Harry Whit- ney, and told him of our conquest of the Pole. Because the ship was to come after Whitney and take him direct home, most of my instruments were entrusted to his care. Anxious to gain a few months in the return home, I proceeded by sl-ed overland and by sea southward to Upernavik, and from there an,-ward to Copenhagen by Danish steamer." —Press Association Foreign SpooiaJ.
Ebbw Vale Fatality -
Ebbw Vale Fatality Miners'Agentand Mines Inspector An inquest was open.ed by Mr. J. B. Wal- ford, district coroner, at Ebbw Vale into the circumstances attending the death of Stephen Charles Morris (sixteen), which occurred at No. 1 Marine Colliery, the property of the Ebbw Vale Company, on Wednesday. The deceased and a man named John Nioholls were working in the Barry, when a piece of olod and coal fell, covering both. Morris was killed outright, a'nd Nicholls waa so badly injured that he was taken to hos- pital. Mr. J. S. Martin, chief inspector of mines, was present; Mr. Thomas Jones, colliery manager, represented the company, and Mr. Evan Davies, sub-minors' agent, was for the family of deceased. Jacob Morris, father, gave evidence of identification, and said he was working about 40 yardil from the scene of the acci- dent. He heard a siboat., and on going to the place where his son was working he saw his son stretched otbt. He had been released from under the storu^, Joseph Williams said he heard a shout, and afterwards found a clod and some coal had fallen. NichoJis and deceased were underneath. The former was brougiit out alive, but the lad was dead He saw a wedge behind the coal, and two mandrils were found under the faJL Ellis Williams, day fireman, Raid he saw two pieces of timber that had apparently been discharged. There was a stick there about 5ft. 6in. long that would have been suitable for a sprag, but there was nothing to show that it had been fixed. The piece oif clod was overhanging a-boat eighteen to twenty inches. He was of the opinion that had four inch stamping been allowed and tihe stick properly set it would have been sufficient to hold the clod up, a.nd the situa- tion would have been saved. In reply to Mr. Martin, witness said the clod was very heavy. The piece that feU was fifteen to sixteen inches thick in the middle. A careful workman would have placed two sprags there, and had he (wit- ness) seen the place before the accident he would have ordered two to be put there, and properly stamped in. Mr. Martin: On the following day you saw the next place to where the accident oc,ou rred ?-Yes. Was that properly rpragged?-No, it was not. The Coroner: That is interesting and im- portant between you and Mr. Martin, but it does not come under our jurisdiction. The Coroner several times interposed when Mr. Martin was examining the witness, and then Mr. Evan Davies expressed the opinion that it was unfair thait Mr. Martin 8 refer to anything that had taken place out- aide. After some discussion the inquest wais ad- journed indefinitely for the evidence of Nicholls. THE AGENT'S OBJECTION. At Saturday's meeting of the miners Mr. Evan Davies referred to the incident. He said he objected to an inspector, because certain things had been said outside, making use of an inquiry, to ventilate his spleen and endeavour to place the blame upon the workmen. It went so far as to refleot upon the man who received injuries, and as the assertions were made behind his back he asked for an adjournment so that he could attend the inquiry to clear himself.

Rioting at JuvisyI
Rioting at Juvisy I STATION AND TRAIN WRECKED I RIOTING AT JARVISY. I Paris, Monday.—Rioting of a serious charac- ter took place yesterday at Juvisy, in conse- quence of the breakdown of the railway service bet ween the Aviation grounds-and Paris. It is estimated that 200,000 pea-sons visited th^j Aerodrome at Juvisy, and owing to a slight accident an dthe bad organisation of the train service, the train swere consider- ably delayed. At 'noon, the coupling of a train broke at a considerable distance from a station. It was impossible to repair the, damage at once, and the passengers left the train, wrecked the engine, smashed tile- windows, a'nd threw the cushions of the compartments on the line. At Juvisy an immense crowd who were unable to return to Paris wrecked the station, and came into collision with the troops who ha.d been sent to preserve order. Blows with fists and sticks were freely ex- changed. and some persons were trampled ulpon in the confusion. Si-inilar soenes occurred at other stations, and all t-rains conveying paaBengers to Paris were very greatiy delayed. At Juvisy passengers were still waiting for trains towards two o clock this morning. The Sud express reached Paris four hours later, and all exipress trains were delayed.
MR. LLOYD GEORGE ON NEED OF…
MR. LLOYD GEORGE ON NEED OF BILINGUALISM. When it was arranged tha-t Mr. Lloyd George was to speak at Newcastle the Rev. J. E. Roberts, of the Welsh Presbyterian Church at Spermyruoor, a mining centre in the Durham coalfield, about twenty miles from' Newcastle, wrote to the Chancellor of the Exchequer inviting him to address the Welsh population of the neighbourhood, which numbers about 300. Mr. liloyd George accepted the invitation. On Sunday he and Mrs. Lloyd George, accompanied by their Newcastle host and. hostess (Sir Walter and Lady Runciman), motored to Spenmymoor, and in the little Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Ohapol-a, primitive atone building, accom- modating about 150—the Chancellor gave a short address to his compatriots in the mother tongue. Admission was by language test. The pastor (the Rev. J. E. Roberts) pre- sided, and, pending the arrival of the Chan- cellor, the congregation sang a number of Welsh hymns. The entire gathering was of Welsh nationality. The long, straggling streets of the town were lined with excited villagers, and as the Chancellor of the Exchequer was slowly driven along cheer after cheer was raised. Indeed, through most of the villages on the route Mr. Lloyd George was accorded the most enthusiastic greeting. M.r. Lloyd George occupied the little pulpit along with the pastor, and joined enthusi- astically in the praise service. In the course of his brief address be dwelt on the advan- tages of bi-lingualism, urging them- although resident in England—not to relin- quish their knowledge of their native tongue. He had been resident in London some sixteen years, yet Welsh was the language frequently spoken in his own home. His children in their early srears had been taught both tongues, and his little daughter (six years of age) was bi-lingual. She could talk both Welsh and English, and was equally fluent in either. It was a great mistake to imagine that, because they had two languages, they could 'not be masters of both. He wanted them to stick to Welsh—not that he did not want them to understand English. On the contrary, they could not get on without it, but he wanted them not to forget their ) native language. To acquire a knowledge of two languages was a great mental discipline. When they understood both languages they had the advantage of being able to look at things from two points ,of view. The Welsh and the English and they were by, no means always the same That broadened their view of life. There- fore, he urged on all Welsh parents to teach their children the Welsh, language, the old language of the hills. It was a musical tongue. Ho could assure them it was sung there 2,000 years ago, when God was wor- shipped in a Pag-an creed. It was sung there two or three hundred years afterwards, when the Britons were ChristianLsed and there  a remnant of the a?ent B?ton? wwhhfo had nn^ot been extenmna.t?d were otin SLngm-g i-t. So they had been there 2,000 years ago singing the language of Wales. The Welshmen could worship more fervently in hi6 own tongue, whale^nyene who wanted to get at the heart of a Welshman would be most likely to succeed through the medium of the language of Wales. He urged his fellow-countrymen to remember that the honour of Wales was in their keeping. It was necessary for them to remember that their country would be judged by the life and conduct of the Welshmen who had left it to sojourn in England. Mrs. Lloyd George was asked to say a few words. "Teach your children the language of Wales while they are still young in years/' she said; "then they will never for- get it." At the conclusion of the service Mr. Lloyd George shook hands and conversed with many members of the congregation. He afterwards said that he and Mrs. Lloyd George were delighted with their visit. Amongst the congregation, he said, appeared to be Welshmen fro-m every part of Wales, from the hills and valleys, from the North and the South. The singing, too, was characteristically Welsh. The feeling of patriotism was strong amongst these Welsh miners, amongst whom were many fine old fellows. A renewed outburst of cheers greeted the reappearance of the Chanoeilor from the chapel, but, while gracefully aoknowledging the tribute, he did not comply with the shouted request for a speech.
IDUTIES ON LAND VALUE.__I
DUTIES ON LAND VALUE. I Part 1 of the Finance Bill, as proposed to be amended by the Government, was issued on Saturday as a, White Paper. Part 1 of the Bill deals with duties on land values. In the general provisions as to the oaUec- tion of increment value duty, a new eub- section has been ipssrted, which provides that where on the occasion of the dee" of any person the pro peaty passing on the death comprises settled land in which the deoeased or any other person had an interest ceasing on the death of the deoeased, then if the srubject of the settlement at the time of the dearth is the fee simple of the land or any other interest in the land, increment value duty shall be collected as if the fee simple or the interest passed, but the duty shall not be oolleoted if estate duty is not pay-able in respect of the settled land. In cases where application is made for a return of increment value duty, owing to the transaction in respect of which duty has been paid not having been carried out, the sub- section is amended so tha.t duty can only be returned when transferror or lestpr make epplicatnon for its return within tWo yea-rs after the payment of dusty. In the clause dealing with exemption of small holdings and properties in owners' occupation a new sub-section has been inserted providing that where a dwelling- house is valued for purposes of income-tax under Schedule A, together with other land, and it is necessary to determine the annual value of the house, tihe total annual income shall be divided between the house and the other land as the Ocmumiseioners may determine. For the purpose of this seotion the site of the djwelling-house includes any offices, courts, yards, and gardens not exceeding one acre in extent, occupied together with the dwell- ing-house. This provision previously read, the site of a dwelling-house shall indade any land valued, together with, the house, for purposes of inhabited house duty." One of the provisions dealing with unde- veloped land duty has been altered, and now starts that where the owner of land included in the scheme of land development shows that he or his predecessors in title have, with a view to the land being developed, incurred expenditure on roads or sewers, that land shall to the extent of one acre for every oomiplete LM of that expendi- ture be treated as land so developed, although it is not for the time being actually developed, but no expenditure shall be taken into aooount if ten years have elapsed since the date of the expenditure, or if the land reverts to undeveloped Land and the amount of the expenditure does not cover the whole of the land included in the scheme of lamd development. The part of land to be treated as developed efoall be determined by the Commissioners. Clause 17 includes a provision that undeveloped land duty shall not be charged on the site value of any woodlands, parks, gardens, or open spaces reasonable access to which is enjoyed by the public or by the inhabitants of the locality (including access enjoyed by any of the naval or military forces of the Orowai for' the purpose of training or exercise) where, in the opinion of the OamtmiiasioneDS, that* access is of pwbttb benettt.

THE CESAREWITCH I-I
THE CESAREWITCH I Notes on Form of Horses Engaged. LIST OF STARTERS & JOCKEYS i [SPECIAL TO THE "EVENING EXPRESS."] The Sezerwitch" is as a. name almost as much a household word as is the Derby. It is curious, indeed, how some races have attained world-wide fame, while others, more worth winning as far as prize-money is con- cerned, have not attained a little of the same (popularity. To the Cesarewitch the Jockey Club only gives 500 sovs in added money, but it has always been a much sought after race. Possibly, the sporting instinct has led to this radsing of the Cesarewitch on to a pedestal of its own, for as a long-distance race it is unique. Run over the finest course in the world—two miles and a quarter, at top speed all the way-there is no other race that gives such a genuine test of stamina. I would rather accept the winning of a Cesarewitch under a good weight as proof of stayang ability, than success in any of the cup races. Thps, I think, thatla-iviien the Wihite Knight two years ago just failed under a heart-breaking burden to beat Denure, he covered himself with far more glory than he did in any of his cup victories. The race is now celebrating its 70th anniversary, yet not one hit of its popularity has diminished. How, in fact, it has waxed greater and even greater in that respect may be judged from the fact that in the year of its in- auguration there were but 25 subscribers, wTiile this year we had eighty-one. St-ill there were ten runners in that year of Grace 1839. the race b--ing won by the favourite Cruiskeen. The following year, 1840, saw a. sensational piece of riding on the part of the famous Sam Chifney. He was riding Bloomsbury, a three year old, w,ith 9st. up. At the Ditcih gap Ohifney was a long way behind, but grudti-ally making up ground he came with a tremendous rush at the finish, and was only 'beaten by a neck. Watering on the race. thcnigb more wide- spread, is net as heavy as it was, and the winning of such a sum as E30,000 in one hand over the race would be paragraphed every- where. Yes, though in 1866 the Marquess of Hayings won X,75,000 over Lecturer's success, the Ch-orse was quoted at the start at nine to one. Sttdh heavy wagering now on the part of one man would bring a horse to as little as six to four. In the whole annals off fhe Tace probably the most sensational perform- ance was that of Poxhall in 1381. This American three-year-old, with the substantial burde'n for one year's age eof 7st. lib. up. won by twelve lengths, and gained everlasting renown when, a fortnight later, he took the Cambridgeshire, carrying 9st. He was not the first American horse to win the race, however. Prioress having the honour ia 1857. A sensational race was seen that year, as there was a dead head betwee.n three for first place. Prioress won the run-off by a length and a half, and she was the first American thoroughbred over to win a race on English soil. Ccsarewitch winners have been secured in the most unexpected ways. Huna, for instance, who who in 1841, was bought by the sporting prime-minister, Lord Palmerstow, for only 65 guineas out of an odd lo tof horses being disposed of by Lord George Bentwick. "Pam intended her for a brood mare, but having discovered she was pos- sessed of racing merit of no small order, he had her put in training, and she won him six races as a three-year-old Not a few winners have risen from the ranks of selling platers Chalareux a.nd Plaek Sand-winners in 1898 and 1902 respective! Y-f,r instance, Blacik 8a-nd had a curious history. Though a half-brotiter to the Derby winner, Sainfoin, the late Sir James Miller, considered him too small to be of much use, and gave him away to his trainer, George Black well. The laitter won a small selling race with, him, aind he ultimately became the property of Mr. Janres Buchanan, to whom her proved an extraordinarily ngelÎlutl servant. Tihe largest field that ever went to the post was in 1862. wihen there were 37 runners. We may conoider ourselves fortimtate if we see hattf that namtber at the post on Wednesday next., the following being a list of the pro- b,ait,le starters and jockeys:- THE CESABEWTTCH (21 miles).

I can- not say I fancy Admiral Togo III., although be represents Majiton vice Laomedia. His form in this country has not been gaudy so far. Ait Newmarket they say Ptaaoh is a much better horse than Altitude, and Joe Gannon is pretty confident of following up the coap lie brought off with Red DyAs in 1893 Careful consideration of the situation leads me to the conclusion that between Eusheutter Laughing Mirror, and Peach, the issue is likely to rest. I shall couple RUSHOUTTER* with PEACH.* I to furnish the winner. I For double^event speculators & few notes in the •Caanhridgesh ire may not be without interest. Symon's Pride did not give satis- faction; in her trial with Sucoour, and at Kempton on Friday finished unplaced j,n Coventry Plate to Mustapha. The latter accomplished a fine Cambridgeshire trial in the raoe as Canonite, who finished second to him, will meet him on LUb. worse terms at Jiewmaasket. Arrananore I have a strong fancy for, whilst I also "believe Christmas Da&y will show up amioh better than he did in the Prince Edward Handicap. I'Anson I regard as the best outsider in the race. The result of the Duke of York Stakes shows little light on. the probable result, save that the winner, Buck-wheat, is a staone companion of Mnistapha, anzi the tatter now loks a pretty good thing.

Notes and Selections
Notes and Selections WOLVERHAMPTON, Monday Morning. Before the serious business of the week comes on there is a very moderate card to be disposed of at Wolverhampton, although tlje entries a-re numerous enough. The chief event is the Autumn Handicap over a dis- tance of one mile and a quarter. From a good entry I shall select Arcadic, Scarlet Runner, and Alone Sir as a likely trio from which the winner may spring. Aroadic ran wall at Leicester, winning from Double A end Scarlet Rnnner. He gave the last- named 51b. and beat him a head and neck. Now the difference is 21b. the other way. Scarlet Runner ran well at Alexandra Park-, previous to which he had successive vic- tories at DoncastiSr aria Pontefract, and he has come on a hit during the autumn. Alone Sir was a winner as recently as last Mon- day at Nottingham, and even with his penalty has not much to carry. My votes goes to ALONE SIR, I with SCARLET RUNNER next best.

FROM THE "WESTERN MAIL.' I
FROM THE "WESTERN MAIL.' I Brilliant autumnal weather attracted a very big crowd to Kempton on Saturday, and those present were treated to some of the most sensational sport this year. Everyone went astray over the big race, as Valerts was all the rage, and yet the contest was won by hia deepised stable companion Buckwheat, who was quoted at 20's. The Nursery Handicap was also won by a 20 to 1 ehanoe. General Botha. At Haydock the sport was again limited to five events. Mr. George Edwardes took the o-peni-ng race. but subsequently had a couple of seconds. Preceding the important second October gathering at Newmarket, comes a one-day meeting at Dunstall Park to-day. The sport will be unpretentious, but it should wEIll serve its purposein t providing an afternoon's entertainment for the locals. The Autumn Handicap is the leading item.

Safeguard's Selections.
Safeguard's Selections. This week the principal two-year-old race I will be the Middle Park Plate, and, I suppose, strictly en the book, it should be won by Neil Goow, bat. jadgine by hiE behaviour at Kemp- ton on Friday, he seems to have got wcrae than ever at the gate. I quite think he would have been beaten that day by both Lembarg and Admiral Hawke had they ran a-d I should think their respective owneis must have regretted having decided not to let them run. I shall suggest Ixsmberg as the likely winner of the Middle Park Plate. Some of the other races may, I hope, result ae folaows:- TUESDAY. Alington Plate .HALCYON (e.w.)

ITHE AERO CLUB'S BAN ONI DONCASTER.
THE AERO CLUB'S BAN ON I DONCASTER. The curious and unpleasant situation caused by the clashing of the Blackpool and Don caster aviation meetings. and the ban put on the latter by the Aero-Club, developed on Saturday night in an unexpected manner. The Comte de La Vaulx, a Vice-President of the French Aero Club, stated in an interview that the British Aero Club was not justified in putting its interdict on the Doncaeter meeting, and declared that the Federation Internationale Aeronaotique certainly would not endorse their action,. In that case Mr. Cody, M. Delagrange, M. Sommer, and the others could fIZ at Don- caster in competitions without fear of the result. And there is little doubt that after the Cumte de La Vaulx's pronouncement tboy will do so, even if official eanction is not given by the time the meeting begins.

Musical Scholarship 1
Musical Scholarship 1 THE VOTING BEGINS TO-DAY I To-day t.he first yot i ng coupons irf the Western Mail Musical Scholarship Scheme appear in that paper, and the keenest inte- rest is being displayed in the affair. The proposal briefly is that the proprietors of the Western Mail wtll provide £9J a year for three years to enable the euccessrfxrl com- petitor to devote himself (or herself) to the study of music. The competition will be decided purely and solely by the most popular form of suittrage and no consideration whatever will be per- m,il,t-ed to enter into the decision exoept the number of votes sent in on behalf of the various candidates. Those who begin at the beginning will have the longest start, but owing to the open terms of the competition new candidates may enter at any later stage. The geoand instalment of oipinions gweD in the "Western Mail" to-day further illustrate* the warmth and unanimity of the feeling evoked by the publication of the scheme. If there is anything which Wales is unani- mous Upoll it is this. That the fairest and fullest opportunity should be given for the ripest developme-nt of native art.

REFEREE BARRACKED.I
REFEREE BARRACKED. At Treharris, in a friendly, before a fair crowd and a downpour of rain. Merthyr immediately gained a free, but made no headway. Whittaker demonstrated his ability by beating Steve Jones and Griffiths, but centred poorly. The home forwards made a poor start, each failing to bold the greasy ball. During- a rush by the home forwards Wightman handed in the penalty area, but it passed unnotioed. Treharris gained two abortive corners, and still attacked. Barlow having hard lines with a fast ¡;;¡hQ't. Wallace Jones sent in a low drive, which just miased its mark. Later he was injured, and had to leave the field. Barlow and Abley missed an open goal, this being their rarest chance. Merthyr then had a tarn in attacking, but Fisher handed and nullified a fine chance. A pretty bout of oambnwvtion by the home right wing saw Treharris again attack, but they could do no better than gain a corner, wihich was fruitless. Kelly, the Merthyr star centre- half, changed the venve, and from a fine oentre Pisher missed a glorious chance. In the second half Treharris at once became aggressive, and from a corner Tagg Williams headed in, but Daw effected a good save. Again Trebarris pressed, and Abley brought Daw to his kneee. Prom the rebound Barlow missed when in a ridiculously easy position. Llewellyn relieved and sent to D. W. Davies, who quickly got to the other end, but finished up a brilliant run by sending the ball behind. A pretty bout of passing on the whites' right wing saw Phillips near tihe viskote goal. The position in which he was placed was difficult, having his back to the goal, but he surprised Daw by quickly t/urning round and sending a fast and true shot in, but the latter saved at the expense ¡ of a corner. IVom fhe resulting kick Abley netted, but tb. goal was disallowed for off- side. This detHsion was greatly resented by the spectators, who quickly demonstrated their dissatisfaction by bar,racking. After this play became exciting. The ball was quickly taken from end to end, but both sides showed poor shooting form. Whittaker gained applause for neatly rojnding G-riffifihs and sending in a low drive, which brought Bailiff to hit knees. Towards the end Chapinan put in some brilliant defen- sive play. Treharris for the greater portion of the game played ten men, and were the better team. They will do better against j Aston Villa to-day.
