RACING NOTES

... . Now that the Spring entries are known, lovers of racing have something besides the war to talk about, and the amateur handicappers are once more on the war-patli. It is really surprising the amount of work the amateur statistician puts into his handicap. He analyses the form of every horse engaged, and produces what on paper passes for a very clever production. But, unfortunately, the ...

THE LATE MR. SCHNADHORST

... . By the death of Mr. Francis Sclinadliorst, which took place on Jan 2, at Putney, the Liberal Party has sustained an undoubted loss. Boim in Birmingham in 1840, and educated at King Edward's School in that town, he became, in 1877, Secretary of the famous National Liberal Federation, an organisation mainly responsible for the Liberal victories of 1880 and 1885. So much was his work ...

CITY NOTES: THE WEEK

... CITY NOTES. The Next Settlement begins on Jan. 2 If. THE WEEK. The same kind of spirit pervades the whole of the Stock Markets. Probably the Industrial section is feeling the effects of the present position more acutely than any other, for, except in things such as VickerS, Armstrong, and the like, there is absolutely no business of any kind doing. Money has become cheaper, thanks to the large ...

THE RAISING OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN LIGHT HORSE

... . The raising of this corps in Cape Town by Captain C. H. Vithers, of the Blues, is undoubtedly a striking example of what can be done by a few energetic officers if a free hand is given. A week or two ago the office was opened for names, and within a few days five hundred men were encamped at Rosebank, near Cape Town, with about 250 horses. Within about a week the first squadron was sent to ...

MORE VICTIMS OF THE WAR

... . Once more the fortunes of war in South Africa seem to incline in favour of the British Forces, and one may well hope that the long lists of killed and wounded officers and men will soon become sad memories of the past, and that the brighter future which is surely in store for South Africa will in some part make amends for the sorrow and suffering so wide spread both in this country and the ...

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS AT THE FRONT

... Although lie is a comparatively recent acquisition to the ranks of War-Correspondents, Mr. Howell A. Gwynne lias contrived to crowd into his career a greater number of exploits than have the majority of his seniors. In 1895 he went to Ashanti, and represented Keuter in the campaign that commenced at the end of this year. After this was over, he went through the Turco-Greek War in the same ...
