The weather, contrary to expectation, was delightfully fine; there was a nice bracing touch in the air, and tho hedgerows and trees bursting into bud re- minded us that "surly winter" was passing off. The attendance was large, among those present being the Duke and Duchess of Westminster, who brought with them a house party including Prince Henry of Pless, Colonel the Earl of Harrington, the Earl of Enniskillen, Lord Oole, Lord and I Lady Arthur Grosvenor, the Hon.

The starting and finishing posts were in a. field bekw the Eaton Drive and adjoining Rake-lane. In the routo marked out Wrexham-road was crossed tv.ice, and the land ridden over was in the occupation of Messrs. F. Allwood, J. Hartshorn, R. Jones (Moat Farm), Randalls, Rowe Morris, and Art hur Fearnall. The programme opened with a regi- mental point-to-point race between the Earl of Chester's Imperial Yeomanry and the. Shropshire Imperial Yeomanry. There were twelve starters from each regiment, four being heavy weights (catch weights, 14st. 71b. and upwards), and eight light weights (catch weights, 12st, 71b. and upwards). Each team was in hunting costume, the Cheshire team being in red and th,, Salopians in black. The twenty-four riders got away to an excellent start, and the spectacle was a pretty one. There were few mishaps, and the race was run in the excellent time of 8 minutes. The hon-cur of finishingjirst belonged to Mr. Donald- son Hudson (Shropshire). The- Duke of West- minster, riding North-Western, finished second, while those veterans, Colonel Tomkinson and Colonel the Earl of Harrington, finished respec- tively fourth and twelfth, and. their plucky horse- manship gained them a hearty cheer from the on- lookers. The race was decided by the number of points, and when these came to be totalled up it was found that Cheshire had won the challenge cup by 164 points to 147. The Yeomanry Cup, presented by the Earl of Harrington, was won by a visitor in the person of Mr. N. W. Clark on Captain W. S. Power's (Derby Imperial Yeo- manry) Ringworm. For the fourth time th,eo Duke of Westminster won the Earl of Chester's Regimental Cup, presented by himself, and, as usual, presented the trophy to the second, who, on this occasion, was Lieut. Vo Hermon on Capt. Wilson's Son of Rest. Lord Arthur Grosvenor's Hannah was a favourite for this event, but she never ran kindly, and finally came to grief two fences from homje. The non-commissioned offic-crs and troopers' race was won by Sergt. J. A. Sal- mon's Amiable II., and the day's proceedings were brought to a close by a paper chase, in > which the Duchess and other ladies took part. Thje band of the Cheshire Yeomanry played a choice selection of music during the afternoon. The officials were Judge and starter, tho Earl of Enniskillen; assistant judges, Colonel Rivers Bulkeley, Mr. R. Corbet, and Mr. J. B. Little- dale; clerk of the course, Captain E. W.

MOTOR CAR AND 'BUS. I -♦ I OOLLISION AT TARVIN. I On Monday evening a collision occurred at Tarvin between a motor car and Messrs. E. Lightfoot and Sons' 'bus. The 'bus, which was the 5 o'clock one out of Chester, and was full of passengers, was calling, as usual, at the Red Lion Hotel, when a motor car eame from the direction of Tarporley and ran into the horses. The animals started off, causing the pole to break. Fortunately the driver, Mr. E. Lightfoot, never lost his presence of mind, and exercised wonderful skill in controlling the horses. He kept them from running on the kerb as they swerved from 0110 side of the street to the other, and eventually pulled them up on the Sands. This was not before one of the horses was seriously injured by the broken shaft piercing its flank stifle. The passengers were greatly alarmed, and Mrs. Challonor, dressmaker, jumped out and fell to the ground, injuring herself. The driver of the motor car did not stop, but the letter and number of the car are known.

WOMEN'S TRIALS IN SPRING. I -——-<-——— Hew many women feel weary, listless, and with- out energy when Spring time approaches? They arc to be counted by hundreds in every city and town. Winter fills the blood with im- purities which rob the system of its energy. Hence the feeling of what might be tinned "Spring languor." This disorder is cured by Nature's own remedy, bile beans, because the latter tone up the liver and digestive organs, purify the blood, and restore energy and vigour. Miss Louisa. Kinsley, of Cemetery-road, cun- thorpe, says :Some time back I felt weak and languid, and' altogether out of sorts. I could not Biieep, I could not eat, I had no inclination to work; in fact. I could not have worked if I had tried. My strength seemed to have left me alto- gether, and all I wanted was to lie down a.nd try to rest. Even that did not relieve inc, for I could not get rid of theÏapguid feeling. One day I "aw bile beans advertised, and I sent for a box. I felt that they benefited me, and so underwent a course. My condition improved gradually, and now I am better than I have been for three years. 1 can eat, sleep, and work hard. It is the beans alone that have brought about the cure. They are without doubt a splendid medicine, and I would earnestly advise their use by anybody suffering as I did." Tn." greatest vegetable re- inedy thus highly spoken of by Miss Kinsley is a certain cure for headache, indigestion, bilious- ness, liver complaint, constipation, piles, debility, female ailments, dizziness, wind, fitlil'ss lei eat- fc '111,,t l e a' l m, n t z ing. rheumatism, anaemia, blood impuririe- and ail disorders arising from imperfect live/ a-iticn ;uui as-imilation. This mcdicine is the outcome of the latest scientific research, and while effoc- ?,carc h &ii d w h iil-. effcc- live in the m:st difficult cases yet acts mildly. 13.10 Beans never causc, griping, and may be taken j in all cases with confidence. They have the ie- I cun'.mcnc-ation of scientist?., doctors;, chemists, j j nurses, and indeed of all who have tried them r,d proved their wonderful properties. Obtainable i fivm chemists everywhere, at one-and-three-half- po-ice i or two-and-nine per box. ^Substitutes sir: uk't! be avoided.

I THE FLAGSTAFF AT THE TOWN HALL. I TO THE EDITOR. I oir,— lhe writer of your note in reference to this does not do justice to "Union Jack's" letter. Tho observation that a dark building is a good contrast for a white staff is true, with this crucial proviso that the flagstaff be white! I beg leave to doubt if there is much white now left. When waa it last painted. I wonder. This, however, is quite a bye poim. A flagstaff ought to be in an elevated position, and not on the ground. The proper PI;;tOO is on the Town Hall roof. Of the scores of people who pass by the present flagstaff scaroely one in ten notices it, or any flag, when any is hoisted To hoist the flag on the notable days on a flagsraff on the top of the Town Hall would be advantageous to the communitv as a reminder. Also, why is not the Infirmary flag- staff placed on the roof?—Your obedient servant. x. I

I THE OLDEST KING'S SCHOLAR. I I 10 A HE EDITOR. I cksli^nt-ed to read Mr. John Gr.fSths s letter. also the second letter from Mr. Priohard. of Shrewsbury, in last week's issue of your paper They both furnish just the very in- foimat.on I was desirous of obtaining, to con- firm ail I have previously stated about the. differ- enoo which exists, and should always have existed, between a chorister and a King's scholar under the charter of foundation established in the year 1541. I have long known Mr. J. Griffiths, only to respect him as a cultured and courteous gentle- man, and fee; somewhat diffident in entering the licts of ditBoussion with him. But the greatest mistake Mr. Griifitiis made in his letter was mis- judging my intentions when I wrote to your paper on this 6ubject, for I can assure him and all 0011- oerned that the last thing I should think of would lx to speak unkindly of an old chorister or an old Kmg's scholar. Now tho difference between Mr. Griffiths and myself in this correspondence is this. He wrote on what he heard from others; I wrote from what I knew since the end of the forties and beginning of the fifties, and I can- firmed that knowledge by examining carefully the charter of the &chooi before asking your favour, Mr. Editor, to print my rather long letter. Again, Mr. Griffiths must know I had no axe to grind, or other object in view than to ciear up data and sfcod a ray of light on a matter of great historic ijitercst., The dates Mr. Griffiths so kindly furnished, viz., 1849, -is 10 the time when the charter of the Grammar iicnool was looked into, and the school reorganised as to its teaching staff, etc., and the chorisiei-s removed to tneir own school. tinder the.r own master, correspond exactly with the time wltell I first knew anything about the school, say in the end of 1S49 or beginning of 1850. The p.oof which Mr. Griffiths gives that the charter was a«;ted up to by the Governors at that date trebly confirms my contention that there was, and always should have been, a wide difference be- tween a K. jig s scholar and a chorister. Now, Mr. Editor, beiore giving an extract from the original chartei, perni.t me to ofier an apology to Air. Prichard it 1 mistook the location of the choris- ters' Schooihou:e ai his day. As I understood him to say, it occupied a site where the present new King s School sianda in Northgate-street. There is another matter MIl, Griffiths and Mr. Prichard are thoroughly mistaken about, viz., my estima- tion 01 the position of a chorister as compared with a King's scholar. I feel bound to consider that the position ot a. chorister under the charter is higher than that of a King's scholar, for while, as I remember it in, say, 1850-51, the twelve choris- ters were educated in a separate school from the King s boys, had shorter nours, and they being privileged to leave the monotony of their school- houso for aji hour morning and afternoon to smg hymns oi praise in a beautiful Cathedral, an ele- vating cnange whioli 1 Iemcmber the boys in the K.ng's School fretted after, as they heard dis- tinctly at these t-iiree the choristers joyously racing oti past the end of the old King's School which jo ns tile path they took from their school in Abbey-street, past the Chapter House, to service in the Uithedi-al. Extract fiom the eriginaJ charter: In the 33rd year of the reign of King Henry VIII., and in the year 1541, that Monarch, after dissolving the monas- tery of St, Werburgh, founded a Deanery, two Archdeaconries, six Probends, and granted some valuable property and patronage to the Dean and Chapter. Then follow the names of a great num- ber of manors or estates, rectories, tithes, advow- sens, pensions, churches and a number of other minor properties, which were ever parcel c-f Chester late Abbey, to the Dean and Chapter and their successors, in puium et perpetuam. Now, out of the revenue from the above the Chapter had to pay and provide for, among other things, a master for the choristers, at this time 8 only, and to pay to each of the choristers the sum of L3 ós 3d. each per annum. Then for the 24 King's scholais to be educated in the Grammar School they hud to provide a headmaster and an under- master, and had to pay to each of the King's scholars the sum of £ 3. 5s. 8d per annum. Now, as to how far the governing body had de- paited from the legal commands of the charter at the time, in 1849 when Mr. Griffiths said an inquiry was instituted and the wrongs put right, I and many others would like to know. But how- ever much we may lack information at present as to the doings just prior to that date, we are. thanks to Mr. Prichard s second letter, under no misapprehension as to there being some extra- ordinary irregularities in obeying the laws and commands of the charter previously, viz., in 1835. when Mr. Prichard says "he was a chorister of Chester Cathedral." In proof of this. I will give Mr. Pnchard's own words. Speaking as a choris- ter, he says: "The Rev. Mr. Paul was the school- master when I was in the King's School, and there was no second or third master then. Now, after what Mr. Priohard has distinctly stated, that Mr. Paul. in addition to teaching the choristers, had to act the parts of first and second master to the 24 King's scholars only, thus doing the work himself that the charter had piovided for three masters to acoom- p ish there must have been some won- derful schoolmasters in those days as well as singers. If the above facts do not prove there have been great irregularities and daring depar- tures from the rules and commands laid down for tii-o government of the two schools, I leave it to you. Mr. Editor, and your readers to judge. Mr. Griffiths and Mr. Prichard are deserving of the thanks of the general public, if they have. been the I means by their letters of persuading vestries to look into charities and charters, and compare the administration of them, say from 1800 to the pre- I sent day. These provide some revelations.—Faith- fully yours, W. E. PHILLIPS. I

A DANGER TO HEALTH. TO THE EDITOR. I S;rv—May 1 call attention to the danger which arises from children and others being allowed to pick among the dust boxes and dust heaps? I I noticed this by the Cross one day, and no one interfered Later. I saw a dust-hole t-urned out, and five or six children and women probing into it.

i SMOKE ABATEMENT, j TO THE EDITOR. I Sir,—No doubt you have read Ù1 this week's papers of tlho good results obtained by the Smoke Abatement Society. It has herB the means of putting an end to many bad cases of smoke, notably to Kew Gardens, from Brentford chim- neys. It has been clearly demonstrated that it is quite possible to stop the black smoke from the niaoufacturing chimneys, by utsing mechanical stok irs properly The several manufacturing chimneys in Chester should be compelled to con- sume their own smoke. The law i" easily applied by any two ratepayers, and a penalty for each breach is laid down. Why do not the local authorities Act? Whore is the inspector?—Your obedient servant. 5th April, 1905.

The po!hn? at Brighton in the bve-election caused by the appointment of Mr. Loder as one The by tll(?'"rP dl? f the Treasury took place on of the Jun jor ) Wednesday, Mr. VIHicrs (Radical) being returned by 8,209 votes, against 7.392 given to Mr. Loder (Unionist), a Radical majority of 817. Jacob Roberts, foreman transhipper at the Glyn tramway station at Chirk. was on Tuesday driving in a phaeton through Chirk, accompanied by his wife, when the horse shied at a traction eng"ine and dashed into a travelling showman's van. Roberts was burled out and sustained terrible injuries, to which he succumbed on Wednesday morning. He was over sixty years of age. A few years ago be was almost killed by being run over by some loaded wagons. The earthquake in Northern India on Tuesday proves to have been a far worse disaster than was at first reported At Dharmsala, a Punjab bill station. DIne English men and women were killed, including the wife and daughters f)f Colonel Robinson. commanding the station. Many natives lost their lives. Reports of damage and loss of life have come from Massoorie, imla. and rip-agur in the hills, and from several places in the plains. The los3 of life araong the natives is not yet known.

I THE CHURCHES. 4 1- I EASTER DECORATIONS. I INTERESTING HA WARDEN SUGGESTION. The following appears in the "Hawarden i^ar.sh Magazine" a propos of Easter dcoorati.ons:-hc are anxious to encourage as far as possible the decorating of the parish church by means of flowers grown in pots, and we shall be most grate- ful for the loan of such by any of our people for the octave of the festival. A label with the owner'6 name should in all cases be attached. The plants would be duly watered and returned safely when Low Sunday was past. There is a danger (and it has a tendency to grow like all other dangers) in the over decorating of our churches, and in the spreading of such decorations all about a building, often to the concealment of its natural beamy and outline, and to the injury of its furniture, which may contain perhaps articles of beauty that should net be hidden. Cut flowers, of course, must always find an important place at such times, and in certain spots, but nothing is more effective than the grouping and concen- trating- of our work upon definite places in the fabric by means of Jiving plants in pots. They j are less labour they keep fresh and look better after the first hours, and, more than all, they do no injury to the fabric or its furniture. In pro- portion as a church is adorned with beautiful and artistic furniture, the greater should be the care taken in avoiding injury to or concealment of such articles at our chief festivals. If any of our readers possess in their homes a plant, either lfower or foliage, which they feel would be suit- able for the purpose, will they kindly regard it as t.heir Church Plant" for the festival, and cherish it accordingly? It is so nice when the houses of the parishioners generally take this part at festivals, and when we can honestly rejoice at widespread interest and not have to feel it the jI effort of a very few and of the larger houses.

BISHOP MOSTYN AND RELIGIOUS 1 TEACHING.—Dr. Mostyn, of Wrexham, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Menevia, in a letter acknowledging the receipt of a copy of a resolution passed by the Wrexham and Bangor Deanery Association in favour of religious teaching in day schools, says:—" I am very pleased to read the resolution which was passed by the Wrexham and Bangor deaneries with regard to the importance of preserving religious teaching in the primary schools of the country I need hardly assure you that we Catholics are keenly alive to the importance of having such instructions gi ven each day in the schools as ptrt of the ordinary curriculum, and that we shall do all in our power to ensure this end."

I A WREXHAM ADDITION. I There was one tiling that could add interest to the Chester statements that have been appearing in these columns for years past—one tiling that could make them stronger, more impressive, more complete—and that was the endorsement of time. We believe that our feJJow-townspeopie will agree with us that there could be nothing more con- vincing than the way in which this Wrexham resident speaks out and stands by all that was said many months ago. Mrs. E A. Cope is a native of Wrexham, and lives at 4, Holt terrace, in that town. She tells us about Doan's backacke kidney pills curing her of kidney complaint. She says: "Soon after I was married I found that the housework was tell- ing on my kidneys, and I began to. suffer from pains in my back. When I stooped a sharp pain darted through me—it was just like a knife-thrust. Every little exertion upset me, and I used to come over dizzy. Spots seemed to float before my eyes, and I suffered from chilly sensations. I used to feel languid from morning to night, and my nerves were all out of order. "I had medical advice, and tried oitieront medi- cines, but nothing did me any good except Doom's backache kidney pills. The very first box of these was enough to make my back easier, so I went on with the pills. and before long they quite cured me. My back has been strong and my health aho,z-othc,r better sirce then." Eighteen months after Mrs. Cope was cured she said to our representative: "I am pleased to he able to tell you that I havu stayed well since Doan's pills cured me. My cure was a permanent one, and I can heartily recommend Doan's back- aehe kidney pills." If you are ill, write and fully describe your caaa to us. We shall be pleased to give you the bast  advi,e in our power, free of charge. You can depend upon your letter being treated in strictest confidence. Doan's ba-ckache kidney pills are two shillings and ninepence per box (six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence).
