The land bill us amended in the COM
mons came up for consideration in the
Argyle's amendment excluding from right
of free sale of tenancies on which perma-
nent improvements had been made by
landlords, a trifiing modification was
made. OF proviso inserted in the COM
mons that the improvement must be sub
stantially maintained. the lords amend-
ment relative to Munster tenant right,
which was referred in commons. was REIN
stated by l72 to 46. The latest intelli-
hn
amendments of the commons are not
being generally accepted. The Times
edltorially commenting on the refusal of
the house of lords to recede from its
amendments to the land bill regards Il
settlement of the questions at issue as
likely to follow formal conference of the
party leaders notwithstanding the defiant
attitude of Lord Salisbury. The writer
declares that the ministry, supported as
it is by compact majority in the COM
mons, cannot be expected to yield. In
that event the house being unable to give
effect to its policy, the majority would
have to resign Salisbury would be sum-
moned to undertake the government, and
even, If able to form ministry, he would
ue compelled to dissolve parliament in
the hope of overthrowing the liberal ma
ioritv in the commons. Ii is suggested
that bolder men than Salisbury might
shrink from such an undertaking.

without protests from the judges. So So
was scoring, and although Bair whipped
her until her sides were full Of marks,
she either could not or would not trot
better than Do or 2:26. Santa Claus Was
sore and stiff, and two heats demonstrated
that he had no chance, and lie was drawn
Hopeful won the first beat easily and the
second fairly, but was not given out and
WAS beaten By the judges AT the start for
the third and was then taken out Of the
race on ruse, Ii was transparent that
there was job for Midnight TO win, but
the Judges overlooked it and allowed the
drivers to do a. they pleased. UnfoItC-
nately for the schemers, they played a
dufier OF the v orst character, and the final
result was that Ford won. When only
Ford and Midnight were left in the race.
pools were sold: Midnight 500, Ford so;
the sure-thing men investing libera.ly at
the long end. Hickok wes placed behind

horse and Ford beat him in jog. To-
