CHARGE OF GAMBLING.—At the Police Court, on
Tuesday, before Messrs. E. B. Phillips and J. S. Gib-
bons, five men named William Bowater, Jeremiah
Evans, James Winsor, Thomas Roberts, and Thomas
Rollinson were charged by Inspector Kemp, for playing
at cards on the highway, on the 4th inst. Police-con-
stable Knowles said that he had received nnmerous
complaints of persons gambling. On tbe above date he
saw all the defendants on the highway playing at cards.
Lie took possession of the cards and threepence in cop-
pers. Winsor and Roberts stood by while the card play-
ing was going on and he could not swear they played.
Mr. Phillips remarked that it was a good thing that
Roberts was not seen playing at cards as there was a
Long list of convictions against him and no doubt he
would have ben fined heavily. However they should
order him to pay costs only, also Winsor. Evans and
Bowater they should fined 6d each and costs, and Rollin-
son 2s 6I and coats ; in default seven days' imprison-
ment.

'OOTBALL.-"STOURBRIDGE V. HANDSWORTH..--.A.
football match was played between the above
clubs on the ground at Handsworth on Saturday
last, and added another victory for the Stonr-
bridge team, although the match was not played
out, through a disputed try. The teams were
very evenly matched, Stourbridge having a bit the
strongest, and the Handsworth were compelled to
touchdown three times in self-defence in the first
half-time, and Stourbridge twice. In the second
half-time our own team seemed to pull themselves
together and played a very fast game. the result
was that two tries were obtained and several
touchdowns. Towards the end of the game
Handsworth claimed a try, which was not allowed
by the umpire because the ball was picked up
out of a scrimmage and called "man down." The
Handsworth men asked for the try but was not
allowed when the captain said they must either
allow the try or retire from the field. Several of
the members at once retired and the Handsworth
tried to kick a goal but failed. Hitherto these
two clubs have played some excellent and well-
contested games and it does seem to us a pity to
have any unpleasantness. As it appeared that
the umpire was quite right in calling the ball
back, it having been picked out of a scrimmage
and .‘ man down" called. The following are the
players :—Stourbridge: F. Simms (back), B. B.
Dean and G. Trotter (half-backs), J. Plant, and
A. Otter (quarter-backs), W. Perry, Pownell, W.
R. Penn,.J. Davis, A. Plant, Aston, Meredith,
Boardman. Hack, and A. Hart (forwards). The
names of the Handsworth not given.

EPPs'S COCOA.—AII the Year hound says—" Let us
stroll to the Euston Road, hard by the Regent's Park, to
Epps's Cocoa Manufactory, where may be studied the
m iking of cocoa on a stupendous scale, giving a just idea
of the value of these articles, not as luxuries, but as
actual food."

EPPS'S COCOA.—John Bull says—" An idea of the
vast extent of the industry may be gained from the fact
that one firm alone—that of Messrs. Epps it Co.—now
sell some 4,000,000 pounds annually.
EPPS'S 0000A.—Chri8tain World says—" If I 11111 to
take cocoa,' said I, "I must see and judge for myself
what are the ingredients of which it is composed ; with
this view I made my way to the cocoa manufactory a
James Epps & Co., in the Euston Road."
EpPs's Cocoa.—Cassell's Household Guide says—" NVe
will now give an account of the process adopted by
Messrs. James Epps and Co., homceopathic chemists and
manufacturers of dietetic articles, at their works in the
Euston-road, London."

EPPS'S COCOA.-21forntng Advertiser says—" Nearly
two centuries after, in 1832, the duties, which had hither-
to been almost prohibitive, were greatly reduced, and
one of the first to take advantage of re-establishing the
popularity of cocoa was Messrs. Epps and Co., the
Homceopathic Chemists."
