that actual, starvation is checked. The

day that the worst time would be the last
fortnight in May, all through June, and
the first fortnight in July. This is confirm.
cd by experience. 1t is also the opinion
Of every authority on the subject. Mr..
Charles Kennedy, an active member ol
the Mansion House Committee, told me
to-day that he believed the present COM
mittee could manage the distress for O
considerable time, but their funds would
be nearly II not quite exhausted when
the most crushing crisis arrived. He
would advise the Herald to make the
American fund as large as It could, ant
then TO husband IT as far as possible, so
as to step in when other funds were low.
Americans would then be the actua
savior and mainstay OF the people.
Much doubt was expressed regarding
the value OF the government measure tol

proyements. These works have beer

Obliged and therefore, will not employ th'
unframed and enfeebled poor Tor who's

men who can do the best work for thei

to wiring profit from their tenants Is showi
by the following extraordinary, notic'
from Derry paper, issued by a landlor'
who received grant from the government
for improvements:
"Those tenants who wish 10 have i'm

Brown beat Hazael's previous record by
three hours and eight minutes.
The match was brought TO close this
evening. Brown left the track after scor-

tered in this possibility for the last three
days. The attendance tonight was very
large, and as the pedestrians moved round
the ring they were cheered at every lap.
After Brown had scored 545 miles each
successive mile was greeted with tu-
mnltuous burst ofapplause, and when the
score was $50 the enthusiasm knew no
bounds, the band playing "Rule Britain
mia" and God Save the Queen" and the
crowd shouted until the tumult was tre-
mendous. Brown continued to walk until
chad scored three more miles, in order
to guard against any possible error on the
part Of the scorers, and TO make his record
secure. At the close he appeared as fresh
as daisy, and asserted that he was good
for: twentY-four hours more work. He
received his friends after he retired from
the track, and was congratulated by hum
dreds over his great achievement.
