Anak the King of Men.

In classic days the poets sang
Of Titan battles nobly fought ;
Let modern rhymes record how Chang
By ANAK is to nothing brought.
Challenged by Titan form from France
Is Titan of the Tartar Wall.
The lists are oponed. Arm ! advance !
The loss House and St. James's Hall !
Hurrah ! the fight is short ; hurrah ! for Chang is van-
quished when
The Press and Public both decree, Anak's the King of
.3fen.

COMMISSIONER FONBLANQUE'S SUCCESSOR.._ Ir,
Registrar Winslow has been appointed to the office of
Commissioner in Bankruptcy, vacated by the death of Mr.
Commissioner Fonblanque. A fitter man could not have
been found, and he has, in fact, discharged all the duties
during the three years' illness of his predecessor. From
the appointment we gather that Lord Cranworth, at least,
does not anticipate success for the scheme said to be pre-
paring for the abolition of bankruptcy.—The Law Times of
to-clay.

NOVEL USE -OF. PHOTOGRAPHY.—The guardians
of the Settle Union having received by post about a dozen
applications, in reply to an advertisement for a school-
mistress at the workhouse, appointed a committee of their
number to examine the testimonials of the applicants.
The testimonials of the two who seemed most likely to
suit were so nearly equal that the committee were unable
to decide between them. Regardful of the pockets of the
ratepayers, the committee hit upon the novel expedient of
sending for the photographs of the rival applicants, and
thus saving the expense of the railway fares, which a per
sonal application would have involved. After the due ar-
rival and inspection of the portraits, the choice fell upon
Miss Millet, of the Orby School, Kitchen.

20 to 1 each Sidewind and Accident, 25 to 1 agst Master
Richard, 33 to 1 agst Joco, 50 to 1 each agst Blithfield and
Helen.

On taking their places at the post several of the light
weights indulged themselves with an extemporaneous can-
ter, which delayed the start. Upon the flag being lowered
at 330 the lot left the post in company, but scarcely had
they run a dozen strides when Elland with Sidewind were
seen in advance, but, Sopp taking a pull at the former, in
making for the far side he was headed by Sidewind. The
latter entered the back stretch slightly in advance of Helen,
who came up on the whip-hated, the favourite lying third,
in company of Buckfoot and Holstein ; to these succeeded
Moldavia, Bendigo, Accident,Windhanl, Joco, John Davis,
and Farce in a body, the extreme rear being brought up by
Master Richard, Nu, Jupiter, and Blithfield. At the mile
post Helen took a clear lelad, and carried on the running to
half-way in the bottom, when she suddenly dropped back,
leaving Lord Westmoreland's filly once more in advance,
the favourite lying wide on her right, followed by Bendigo,
Joco, Holstein, Farce, and Windham. On fairly entering
the straight the latter ran into the third position, and
waited upon the two leaders to the distance, where Side-
, wind was beaten, leaving Elland in possession of the lead ;
'tills he retained to half-way, when Challoner brought up
his horse, and when about making his effort Sopp used his
whip, which sent Elland against Capt. Gray's horse, and, in
so doing, completely destroyed his chance. Mr. Jackson's
colt won very easily by a couple of lengths ; twice that dis-
tance separated the second and third, Joco finishing fourth,
a length in their rear ; Master 'Richard was fifth, Bendigo
sixth, Holstein and Farce next ; the others, who were pull-
ing up, being whipped-in by Helen, Blithfield, Moldavia,
and Minnette, who did not pass the pest. Challoner, on re-
turning to scale, complained of a foul on the part of the
rider of Elland, which was subsequently investigated by
Lord Sefton and Lord Poulett, who gave their award in
favour of the winner.
