Rapid Riding.

In giving some notices of rapid riding,
a correspondent OF Land and Water
writes "Some of your readers may be
aware that the famous Cardinal Welsey
owed his first rise in life to a rapid ride
in the time Of Henry VII. He was
chaplain to that king. and recommend
ed by the bishop of Winchester to 60
over and see the Emperor MaXilillian on
important business. The emperor was
on tour at the time III the Low Coun-
tries. Wolsey was prompt. He left
for Dover at four, one afternoon, by
boat from London tea Gravesend, and
then he took ost-horses, aud rode into
Dover the next morning caught the
boat for Calais, arrived there in three
hours, ordered horses again, and reached
Macmillan before night arranged
matters, and rode back TO Calais. Got
10 Dover by ten o'clock next day and.
once again in the saddle, reached Rich.
mond before evening, having been q
little over two days on his journey
speedy travelling for those times. The
messenger sent from London to Scot.
land, Ia Edinburgh, to tell King James
that Queen Beas was dead, accomplished
good deal i'm those days. He rested
at night and rode all day, left Whitehall
at ten in the forenoon, and reached
Holyrood before three days were run,
having been thrown from his horse ana
kicked, aud having likewise rested nj
his own place at Witherington, where
lie attended to several business matters
en- route, doing full four hundred miles
in the time. Bernard Calvert outdid
both Robert Cary and the cardinal, for
he went from Shoreditch to Calais, and
back in one day, riding 1i2 miles of the
way. Thonhill, the contractor, won
five hundred guineas by doing 2l3
miles in twelve hours and seventeen min
utes, hut thepaIticulars of his ride are
too well known to need repeating here,
although il took place over one hundred
years ago.

Oxford University,

A comparison of the Oxford Univer-
sity Calendars for 1923 and 1874 exhibits
a remarkable change during the past
half century in the proportion borne by
the most distinctly academical clergy
to the whole clerical body. The Cler-
ical Fellows OF Colleges iii Oxford were
$50 in 1923, against $50 in 1874, while
the number of members of the Univer-
sity has doubled in the interval. The
number of the clergy seem also to have
doubled, as the earliest Gergy List,
published 1871, contains only 800 pages
of names against 400 in this year'sissue,
and large increase Of clergy had the in
already resulted from the operation of
Church Building Acts Of 1878 and the
subsequent years.
