This Company, which has been in preparation for teveral months, and has now succeeded in uniting important and influential interests in Italy in its favour, is intended to aid in developing the agricultural resources of that country, which, in point of soil, climate, and position, is pre-eminently favoured. Italy at this time offers a wide field for the profitable in vestment of capital by the purchase, redistribution, and re sale of land, or by judicious advances to the owners, enabling them to avail themselves, by the introduction of modern scientific appliances, of an improved system of agriculture. The richness and productive character of the soil of Italy is too well known to need remark, but capital is required to develope its resources. he estates f the gre• t landowners, where situated near the lines of railway now under construction, are susceptible of vast improvement. The outlay of capital for that object Will be extremely profitable, and the security for its repay ment will be thereby increased. The rate of interest which such adv , inces wi 1 afford in Italy is so much greater than in this country, that loans, repayable by annual instalments, Spread over 20 or 25 years, will prove very lucrative. The purchase of .large estate,, and their sub-division fo r the purpose of resale into conveniently sized properties, would be a source of great profit, and at this time especially could be resorted to with good results, as portons of the Crown domains in Tuscany and other parts of Italy are now for sale on moderate terms. The Dir ectors propos:. to mae arrangements for the ur chase of various large trots of k Crown Ind,1 nd, to be selec p ted from the domains of the Government. These purchases will he made at a price recko ne d on th e net i ncome at present re ceived from them, and which will thus at once yield a return of from 5 to 6 per cent., even in their present neglected con dition. The land will be selected in the localities most favourab'e for rapid improvement, or in contiguity with the new lines Of railway, and on or near to the sea coast, and suited to the culture of cotton, silk, flax, hemp, oil, corn, wine, madder, liquorice, tobacco, and fruits; and for the proeuction and rearing of live stock. Most of these fine lands have for centuries been suffered to fall into a state of neglect and unproductiveness. The con struction of the lines of railway now in progress will at on • e vastly augmen their value. Won( sof irrigation and drain age on such lands in Italy have been found to double their value. The country is peaceable and contented, land contract •• are perfectly secure, the tlrmers and labourers intelligent and industrious, and the wages of labour very moderate. No new organisation of labour is requisite. There is no country in which the elements of a prosperous land investment are more obviously numerous and advan tageous ; and as the savings of Italians of all classes are generally invested in land, great facility for its resale in small plots would to thus afforded to the Company. The general objects of the Company will be— I. The acquisition, by purchase, of selected lands in the kingdom of Italy. 2. the i e-distribution of the 1 lnd, and the execution tf such main imprcvements as may be executed by contract. 3 The re-selling the lands acquired by the Company either together or in parcels. 4. The advancing, on security of landed property, such money as may be necessary to develope its agricultural va in a manner similar to that which has been so successfully adopted in England by the machinery of the Drainage arad Lands Impnvement Companies. 6. The raising of capital, in addition to the subscribed share capital, by he issue of Debenture Bonds secured upon the real property and general assets of the Company. Owing to the f .cilities g ran t e d b y the Italia'a Government for the payment of land purchased from the:m, it is expected that illy a dratted portion of the proposed capital will be requirea, and it is not intended to mete any calls at inter vals of less than three months. A copy of the Articles of Association can be inspected at the Offices of the Solicit TN, 46, Parliament -street, B.w. Applications for Shares are t o b e made in the annexed form ; but no application will be con s ,d ered unless accom panied by the payment to Messrs. Robarts, Lubbock, and Co. of £1 per Share on the number of Shares applied for. This sum will be returned in the event of the application not being acceded to; and, if a less number of Shares be allotted, the balance will be applied towards the payment of £4 per bhare then due. 16, Leadenhall-street, London, May 28, 1864.

Preliminary negotiations have been in progress for P °in - months, and the project has been sub .itted to the judgment of the most eminent Venezuelan merchants, and has met with their unq , allfled approval. Support is promised in highly influential quarters, and the Directors are assured that the privilege of issuing Bank notes will be accorded by the Government. _ __ _ The banking facilities which Caracas has hitherto pos sessed have been very limited, but the fast that the Bank of Caracas, which will now merge into this establishment, has -despite its restricted means—earned a net profit exceed ing 30 percent. per annum, leaves no doubt that the present undertaking will result in complete success. The following, published by Messrs. Matheson and Co., while inviting tenders for th Venezuelan Loan in June last, will confirm the above statements : " At present there i 3 almazt an entire absence of banking accommodation in Venezuela. Possessed of every advantage of clim,te and soil, within sixteen days' sail of England, the existing monetary facilities are quite inadequate to the com merce of the country, and to the increasing production and rapidly extending exports of its coffee, cocoa., cotton, hides, * * * The advantages of this Institution will be obvious to all, and as the rats of interest range from lo to 15 per cent. per annum, the profits may be expected to be considerable." It may be added, that since that period, owing to the in creased and increasing demand for capital for the cultivation of cotton, which is now being exported to England in large quantities, it finds safe and profitable employment at much higher rates than those quoted by Messrs. Matheson. The want of an Exchange Bank in Venezuela oc^asions the .utmost inconvenience in buying and selling foreign bills ; this Bank will supply the want, and as returns can be made with far greater npidity from Venezuela than from India, where banking facilities of a like nature have been found extremely profitable, it is certain this branch must bo still more remune-ative. The principal control of the London and Venezuela Bank will be vestal in 'the Board of Directors in England. They will select a manager of known qualifications, who, on his arrival, wi I 'nave he assistance and advice of the Directors ;n Caracas and La Guayra, who are Europeans of high standing in the country, and well known in connection with Venezuelan trade and finance.

Naval and Military Intelligence, MALTA, May 24.—Her M;jesty's screw steam ship-of the line the Marlborough, bearing the flag of the Comman der-in-Chief Vice-Admiral Smart, K.H., accompanied by the steam frigate Magicienne and the Cossack steam cor vette, left on the 20th for Corfu, to be present at the with drawal of the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and the other constituted authorities, civil and milittiry, as well as the troops, on the cession of the lonian Islands to the Crown of Greece, which is fixed to take place on the 2d of June. Her Majesty's steam transport Hima laya arrived on the 20th from Plymouth and Gibraltar,br in g ing two midshipmen, six naval cadets, and ten engineers, 97 seamen, boys, and marines, to fill up vacancies in the squadron; Ensigns Prior, Hart, and Galvey, of the 100th; Captain Colvin, of the 7th; Mr. and Mrs. Sowden and three children, Mr. and Mrs. Webb, and Mr. and Mrs. Wolley. The Himalaya leaves with the Tamar, for Corfu, on the 24th (to-morrow). The ironclad screw steam fri gate Resistance arrived on the 22d from Suss, whence she took her departure on the 20th of May. Her Majesty's despatch steamer Pysche left this morning for Zante with despatches for the naval Commander-in. Chief and the mails for the division in lonian. waters. This vessel will convey the Lord High Commissioner to Ancona, en route for England. Her Majesty's steam ship-of-the-line Meanee has just quitted port for Corfu. The Tunedine steam sloop' Beazi arrived at Malta, from Alexandria, on the 19th with a number of Ottoman passengers, and left for Tunis on the 20th. The Egyptian steam frigate Nile, under the command of Capt. Mason, of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's service, arrived at Malta on the 22d May, having on board Capt. named B ey, bound €5 Lend on to be lengthened and refitted. The Ottoman despatch steamer Heki Cherif, arrived at Malta on the afternoon of the 22d of May from Tunis with despatches from his Excellency Haydar Effendi, the Imperial Commissioner lately sent thither by the Sultan, with which the same steamer left for Constantinople, after coaling, early on the morning of the 23d. The substance of these despatches was transmitted by the Ottoman Consul in cipher, on the night of the 22d, through the medium of the Continental telegraph lines to Constantinople." The Orontes, screw troopship, Captain Henry W. Hire, made a final and successful trial of her machinery at Ports mouth on Saturday, under the supervision of Capt. H. Caldwell, C. 8., the officer in command of the steam reserve at the port. Four runs were made over the trial ground of the measured mile, and the ship attained a mean speed of a little over ten knots per hour with 121 b pressure of steam and the engine making 50 revolutions. This result is rather in excess of what had been anticipated, and if the boilers only hold out and the engines continue to walk as satisfac torily as they did on Saturday, the Orontes may be looked upon as a ship going at the rate of nine knots with light winds and smooth water. What a falling off, however, is here from the always-efficient Himalaya, upon which vessel the Orontes is an " improvement" from Admiralty designs! The Orontes has been nothing but a failure, comparatively speaking, from the day on which she made her first essay under steam, and has been a constant source of annoyance to all who had been concerned with her, whether it be her designers, constructors, the steam factory officials of her Majesty's dockyards, or the officials serving on board of her. Her chief engineer, a most indefatigable officer, has been superseded by Admiralty order, and another appointed in his place, and Capt. Hire himself has received a sharp re primand from the Admiralty for, it is presumed, stating frankly his opinion relative to the Orontes' boilers and machinery. As Captain Hire enjoys some reputation as a troopship commander, and as his late chief engineer is ac knowledged to be a thoroughly efficient officer, naval officers at Portsmouth openly express their surprise at the course of events, and sympathise greatly with both officers. The ' Orontes sailed from Spithead at noon yesterday for the Mediterranean, where she will receive her orders as to her future movements from the Admiralty, through the Admi ral Commanding-in-Chief of the station. The paddlewheel steam sloop Centaur, 6, Commander J. Creasy, from Hongkong, Jan. 11—Singapore, Jan. 23 Anjer, Jan. 29—Mauritius, March 6—Simon's Bay, April 3—Ascension, April 23—St. Vincent, May 10—and Ma deira, May 19, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Friday night. The Pearl left Ascension April 21, for Portsmouth. The Centaur spoke May 26, off Cape Finisterre, the ship Melody outward bound. She brings home 85 naval invalids, includ ing Mr Parker, late master of the screw steam frigate Bury eine, 35; Acting Commander Mayow, late of the screw steam gun vessel Sparrow, 5 ; and Mr. Inglis, late master of the paddlewheel steam sloop Gorgon, 6. The Centaur was put in commission in Sept., 1869. She has been chiefly occupied in the East, and considerable changes have occur red in her officers and crew. Both the ship and her engines will require repair. To.day she will be inspected by Port- Admiral Sir C. H. Fremantle, K.C.8., after which her powder tend ammunition will be discharged. She will then be taken into Hamoaze to be dismantled, when her crew will be paid off. The screw steam gunboat Blazer, from Ireland, arrived on Friday evening at Devonport, where she will be refitted for active service. Advices received from the West India and Pacific station by our Southampton correspondent, report her Majesty's ships Shearwater, Alert, and Columbine to have been at Callao on April 23, The Aboukir, 30, Commander Cracroft, C.B.—Liverpool, 39, Capt.

The Royalist, 11, Commander Pollard, left Kingston on April 25 for a cruise ; the Petrel, 11, Com mander Madden, on the 27th ; and th, Steady, Commander Harvey, on the 28th. The Virago, 6, Commander Johnston left on the 2d inst. for Vera Cruz. The Pylades, Capt. Hood, arrived at Grenada on the Bth of May from Barbadoes and Tobago, with Governor Walker on board. The Duncan, 81, Capt. R. Gibson, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir J. Hope, K.C.8., arrived at St. Thomas's on the 2d inst., and left for St. Domingo on the 3d. His Netherlands Majesty's steam frigate Zealand, 46 guns, Captain Pals Rycken, from Cape Town and St. Helena, anchored in Falmouth Harbour on Saturday afternoon, on her passage to Holland to obtain a supply of fuel. Orders have been received at the camp at Colchester directing considerable draughts of officers and men of each of the depot battalions at the camp—the 4th, 9th, and 10th—to be held in readiness to proceed to India to join the service companies of their regiments. miring the past week the whole of the troops in camp were reviewed in the Abbey Farm drill-field, under the general command of Colonel Guy, C.B. ; the 4th depot battalion was under the command of Col. Farren, C,B. ; the 9,h depot battalion, under the command of Col. Knox, C.B. ; and the 10th depot battalion, under the command of Col, Street, C.B. Various evolutions were creditably executed by the assem bled troops. The enrolled pensioners of the Portsmouth district, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Meehan, have just completed their summer training. The force, consisting of two officers (Lieut.-Col. Meehan and Capt. Driver), and 370 men of all ranks, was brigaded with the troops in Portsmouth garrison on Southsea-common on the anniversary of Her Majesty's birthday. Since then, on the completion of their allotted time of annual drill, they have been officially inspected by Col. Holcombe, of the 2d battalion of the Ist (Royals) Re giment of Infantry. He at the close of the inspection expressed himself much pl ased with the clean and soldierly appearance of the men, and their thorough efficiency under arms. The Prussian military bind has left Lyons to return to Rastadt, where their regiment is in garrison. The farewell demonstration given to them was most friendly. A crowd assembled on the quay, where a steamboat was lying to take them on board, and saluted them with the loudest acclamations. On the evening before their departure they gave a concert at the Salle de FAlcazar, which wa s densely thronged by persons from all classes of society, the receipts for admission realising upwards of 9,0001 r.

Funeral of Major-General Stuart, (From the Rtchrnond Inquirer, May 14.) The funeral of this much lamentccl and brave general took place yesterday afternoon, at 5 o'clock, from St. James's Church, corner of Marshal and Fifth streets. At the appointed hour the cortege appeared in front of the church, and the metallic mato contain-, ing the remains of tha noble soldier whose now silent voice had so often startled the enemy with his stirring battle cry, was carried down the centre aisle and placed before the altar. Wreaths and a cross of evergreens, interwoven with delicate lilies of the valley, laurel, and other flowers of purest white, decked the coffin. The pall bearers wero General Bragg, Major- General M'Cown, General Chilt on , B r i ga di er - General Lawton, Commodore Forrest, Captain I. ee (of the navy) and General G. W. Randolph (for merly Secretary of War). The scene was sad and impressive. President Davis eat near the front, with a look of grief upon his careworn face ; his cabinet officers were gathered around, while on either side were the senators and representatives of the Confederate Congress. gcat tered through the church were a number of gene rals and other officers of less rank—among the for mer General Ransom, commanding the department of Richmond. Hundreds of sad faces witnessed the scene; but the brave Fitz Lee and other war-wearied and war-worn men, whom the dead Stuart h;d so often led where the red battle was fiercest, and who would have given their lives for his, were away in the fight, doubtless striking with a double courage as they thought of their fallen general. The short service was read by the Rev. Dr. Peter kin, a funeral anthem sung, and the remains were carried out and placed in the hearse, which pro. ceede3 to Holywood Cemetery, followed by a long train of carriages. No military escort accompanied the procession, but the hero was laid in his last resting place on the hill side, while the earth trembled with the roar of artillery and the noise of the deadly strife of armies —the one bent upon desecrating and devastating his native land, and the other proudly and defiantly standing in the path, and invoking the blessing of Heaven upon their cause, to fight in better cheer for the memory of such as Stonewall Jackson and J. B. B. Stuart. The Flower Show at the Crystal Palace, The Flower Show at the Crystal Palace on Saturday was in every respect successful. Despite the attraction of the Volunteer Review, the nave and transepts of " the fairy palace" were thronged by a galaxy of beauty which we doubt any other country could display. We have seldom witnessed so rare u show of plants. The cultivation of roses, geraniums, and azaleas has become quite a distinct branch of art, and the care and attention which must have been given to the development of these fair children of the soil are something almost marvellous. The roses and the fruit appeared to draw the greatest attention. It wouldle almost impossible for a casual observer, even though a connoisseur' to say which were the best, but the decision of the judges stands unchallenged. The number of visitors, according to the official return, was 13,199. The flowers and fruit were arranged with every possible regard to the comfort and convenience of the visitors. The bands of the Cold stream and Grenadier Guards were in attendance; the great fountains played, to the delight of thousands ; the prismatic colours of the iris seemed to flit from the watery mist of each jet, as if it had been all settled beforehand by the company. Among the flowers and fruits which merit special atten- tion must be mentioned the roses of Messrs. Paul and Son, of Cheshunt, and those from the grounds of Mr. Turner, of the Royal Nurseries, at Slough. Mr Bull, of King's. road, Chelsea, has a large collection of rare plants ; and Mr W. Mears, of Holloway, also contributed a large number of rare and hitherto unknown plants in this country. The pelargoniums of Mr Hoyle, of Slough, were choice, fire and varied in their colour. Of the orchards there was, as is usually the case at the Crystal Palace shows, a very large collection, and their peculiar forms, rich and delicate colour. ing, and strange structure of foliage attracted, as usual, a very large portion of the attention of visitors. In fruits there were some magnificent black and white grapes ; some of the former exhibited by Mr Meredith, and the latter by Mr Hill, were equal to the finest that have been shown for many years. The strawberries were large, tempting, and no doubt of excellent flavour. The whole of the prizes for this class of fruit were taken by one fortunate exhibitor, Mr W. R. Smith of Twickenham. The raspberries, by the same exhibitor, were also very fine. Some apples and pears of this year's growth, produced in orchard houses, were a novelty. The following were the principal prizes :- Class 1-Fifteen stove and greenhouse plants, in flower first prize, £2O, Mr T Whitbread, gardener to Mr II Collier, Dartford.

The failure of the Conference will be the signs' for England to take a decided part in the Danish question, We can scarcely expect the Germans to credit us. They think they know that we shall never take up arms, and they believe that, so long as England is ruled by the party of peace at arty price, France will not move, and that thus they would be untrue to themselves if they did not evai,` , to the utmost of the advantages of their position. We believe that they are right in supposing that the French will not take any decided step alone, but we are equally persuaded that were England to act France would follow. If we were engaged in war, if an English fleet appeared in the Baltic, Italy would be convulsed, and the signal would be given for the French legions to take their part in the new arrangement of Europe which will assuredly be the result of the overweening presumption of German statesmen. We look forward with much regret to 1 the prospects which are forced upon us. W e h ave not sought them. They seem inevitable, unless at the last moment a new end different policy should obtain favour with the German Sovereigns. On this, however, we have no right to count, and we must, therefore, now prepare ourselves to expect it great and general disturbance issuing from the present conflict, which will bring to the surface many of those great questions that are, it may be allowed, quite ripe for final decision, _ At all Libraries, in 2 vols., (1 P.

' This Company has been formed for the purpose of pur chasing and carrying on the important and well-known busi ness of Engineers, Ironfounders, and Manufacturers of Agricultural Machinery and Implements, , hich having been established nearly half a century, has been conducted for the last thirty years by Messrs. Barrett, Exall, and Andrewes. While these gentlemen will reali.e by this transaction the accumulated profits of many years, they wil yet remain large eh reho der , and continue to give their active co-operation in conducting the future busin. se of the company. The demand for machinery at home and abroad being, so ext , nsive, capital to any extent can be profitably employed in its pr Auction, ; nd the recent transfer of so many of the first-class engineering. firms in the country to companies formed under the Act of 185?, among whom may be named Messrs. Fairbairn and Co., and Ales ere. Sharp, Stewart, and Co., of Manchester, Messrs. John Brown and Co., and Messrs. Cam 'nell and Co., of sheffield, Messrs. Slaughter, Gruning, and co., of Bristol, kc., is at once proof of the advantageous cha racter of the principle of association. A pr , visional Aereement, equitable and satisfactory, has been entered in' o w th the Vendors, which secures to the Company, at a valuation, the freehold known as " The Katesgrove Iron Work 4, Reading," together with other valuable freeholds and leaseholds, the goodwill, stock in trade, plant, machinery, patent rights. &c. The freeh Ids consist of water-side premises, having a River frontage of 440 feet, with a roadway on the other side, and an average depth of 73 feet, on which are erected the large and commodious foundry, smithy, boiler shops, engi neers', fitters', and erectors' shops, replete with the necessary tools and m chinery. The engine -house with its horizontal engine of 40-horse po wer, pair of boilers, baths, gas works, offices, &c., as well as the lofty and massive store rooms, pattern stores, &c A very large and commodious wood machine shop ab int 120 feet long by 30 feet wide, and a con verted timber yard occupies the site of another freeho'd. The leasehold I , roperty consists of 10 acres of meadow land, se Darated by the River Rennet from the Katesgrove freehold, and easily connected at any time by a bridge. The remaining works, on which are additional steam en gines of thirty-five horse power, are h• Id on annual tenure, on which are the saw mills, stables, wood shops, store rooms, iron house, and warehouses, smithy, she as, show rooms, offices, &c., the whole of which are c , nveniently arran:zed. The connections and Agencies established by the retiring Firm, both in this country and in the Colonies, as well as throughout Europe, combined with the signal success which their manufactures have attained, and the leading position w hi c h they hold, their recognised standing at the Interna tional Exhibitions in England in 1851 and 1t62, and in France in 1855, manifested also in the numerous and distinguished prizes they have taken throughout Europe, cannot fail to secure to this Comnanv a i rosperous future. As a guarantee of the soundness of the undertaking., the Vendors have wtreed that, they will not receive any inte , est on their shares until a minimum dividend of 5 per cent, has been paid on the remainder of the subscribed csuital, which aeTeement is to extend over a period of five years—while Mr. William Exall and Mr. Charles J. Andrewes,who have taken respectively the Engineering, and Commercial Alanageme. t n the business, will, as soon as the transfer is complete, take seats at the Board, and bring to bear their extensive and valuable experience.

Bum and Co., 10, Bath-place, Dalston, London, N.E. An Ancient Bucket Engine. M. Deligny, now engaged in working the copper mines of San Domingos, in the provence of Alem tejo, Portugal,lirtilast sent a bucket-wheel, dating from the Roman period, to the Conservatories des Arts-et-Metiers, and a paper on the subject to the Academy of Sciences. The above-mentioned mines, where this wheel was found, were worked in the earliest ages by the first nations that peopled the Iberian Peninsula. The chief mines in Portugal were Setubal and Troya ; in Spain, the mountains of Tharsis and Zalamen, or Soloman, whither So• lomon and Hiram sent their fleets to procure the copper required for the decoration of the Temple. The great importance of these :mines is shown by the masses of scoriae still visible around, and which are estimated at 20 millions of tons, ac cumulated in the course of several ages; the copper extracted is thence calculated at 800,000 tons. These scoriae also reveal two different sys tems of treatment of the ore, pertaining, one to the Phoenicians, the other to the Roman period, there having been an interruption between the two, caused by the wars between Carthage and Rome, and the conquest of the eountry by the latter. It would appear that the Romans re sumed the working of these mines under Caesar, coins bearing his effigy and that of Augustus having been found in them ; the working was not discontinued until the invasion of the barbarians under Honorius. An inscription preserved in the Mining School at Madrid shows that, under Nerve, the working of the mines of Thartesis Boetica was regularly organised. The Romans worked them systematically; the waters were drained off through galleries, which in many cases attained a considerable length, as much sometimes as 1,400 metres. The ore was extracted through shafts at distances of from 26 to 40 metres. When the shafts were very deep, an additional shaft for ventilation was sunk close to the main ones; they sometimes were 80 metres in depth. But as the hard ness of the rock sometimes prevented the miners from continuing their galleries below the level of the waters, these would accumulate in certain places, and then a bucket engine was used to pump them out. The one sent to the Conservatoire, and discovered at San Domingos, is 6.66 metres in diameter. The spokes are of fir, the axle and its supports of oak. The buckets, 25 in number, are 16 centimetres in width, by 50 in length and 13 in height. Allthe pieces of the wheel are joined with out any metallic fittings. The wheel was set in motion by men in the manner a treadmill is worked. The quantity of water thrown out per second was 1 84 hectolitres. This wheel dates from the year 412 of our era, and has therefore existed 1,452 years; it is certainly the oldest relict of its kind.—Galignani.

THE OAKS.—A correspondent, writing to the Times, says It has been very accurately stated that when the French mare Fille de l'Air won the Oaks on Friday her triumph called forth execrations from the crowd, and the horse an d h er jockey had' to be accompanied to the weighing stand by a strong body of police. But it has been omitted (no doubt from good motives) to state the cause of this popular indignation, an d i n a ll p ro bability it will be attiibuTed by ti3e outside world, and especially by cur neighbours over the water, to petty feelings of John Bullism and national prejudice. Nothing can be further from the truth, and it is well that the truth should be stated. When M. Lupiers Dollar won the great handicap at Northampton in the spring no such feeling was exhibited, and among the lovers of racing generally the principle " detur digniori" universally prevails. But with respect to Fille de l'Air the opinion, be it right or wring, is nearly unanimous that her running has not been honest; that when she started in the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes at Newmarket, although in perfect trim, she was not allowed to win ; and, in short, that the whole thing has been a robbery. I am not, as you will know by the card I enclose, a betting or racing man, and write in no soreness .as to the results of the race, but I am warmly interested in. the honour of the Turf, and con cerned to maintain the c liaraeter of our countrymen as lovers of fair play.
