DR.. O'Rorke and Rev. Father O'Grady
were quickly brought to the wounded
man and performed the rights OF the.
Church for him. He lived about half an
hour and was then removed to Camphill
National School, where the police took
charge of the body. The cart which
killed him was loaded with about l5cwt.

TIPPERARY.
With much regret we have to announce
the death of Mr. John Davis White,
founder and editor of the Cashel Gazette.
Mr.. White had been for some time in
failing health, but in the week preced-
ing his death he was better than he had
been for many mouths, and was able to
attend divine service in the cathedral On
Sunday, June 11th. On the following
Wednesday he was busily engaged al.
day in business connected with his pa
per and was much interested in the
choral festival that was fixed for the fol-
lowing day, at which he proposed to be
present. Shortly after going to bed on
that evening he was seized with sud
den illness, paralysis of the heart, and
died about ten minutes after the seizure.
Mr.. White was barn On May p, 1920, and
was therefore in bis 74th year.

WEXFORD.
Enniscorthy RACES took place on June
2Oth. The weather YVES fine, and seldom
has there been SO large an assemblage Oh
the track. The course was in very
hard condition, and as the horses gal
]oped over certain portions of it they
were completely enyeloped in dust.
Small fields we're the order; but as four
out of five favorites got home, hackers
had the best of the monetary transac-
tions. Business was commenced With
the Flying Plate, handicap fiat race,
which Mr.. ). Lockes Bivouac won by
six Ienghshs from The Khedive A trio
contested the railroad plate, for which u
shade OF odds wa laid on Mr.. T. Dea-
cons Kitty, and she won in center,
subsequently being bought by ffty-tour
guineas, or an advance of four gulneas
over the entered selling price. There
was a qusrtette for the Epniscorthy
Plate, and when the wagering opened
fayoritism rested with The Master, but
he speedily beat retreat in favor Of Mr..
D. Murphy's Holloyfort., who won very
cleverly by half D length from Banditto,
while The Master bolted. The Vinegar
Fill Plate was reduced to m stch be-
tween Nerissa and Rochelle. Odds were
laid ON the latter, but he came to grief, and
although Nerissa refused the regulation
obstacle several times, she was at length
induced to complete the course. OF the
trio that contested for the Slapey Plate,
Mr.. Fitzgerald's Purity, who was strong
favorite, won by four lengths.
