BICYCLING. -The Ilmloster correspondent of the
Sintrborne Journal writes .•-The bicycle match has
been arranged between J. Hansford, of Poole, and ft.
Norton, of Ilminster, for a twenty guinea silver cup.
The oldest will take place on the Taunton grounds, on
a date hereafter to be determined upon, and will create
much interest in this district, as it will really decide
the championship of the West of England.
TAX SALVATION AIIIT.-Last week the " Army"
attempted to " bombard" Bournemouth, but met
with a decided repulse, having to beat a hasty retreat
before a shower of lumps of dirt and refuse from the
mob. Even the greatest admirer of the "Aripy "
must admit Viet Bournemonth, the place where
invalPs come above all for peace and quietness, is
scarcely a fit battle field for these poople. The town
might as well import a body of bagpipers and organ.
grinders at opoe. Considerable indignation was
expressed in Poole that the whole "Army " (between
30 and 40 men and women) starlet in a waggon drawn
by one hone. We believe, hnwever, another was
attached when ' the hill" was reached.
