wales Cnn Walk Again.

The prince OF Wales has completely
recovered from the severe accident
which he met with in July. 1t will be
remembered that while descending a
spiral staircase the prince missed his
footing and the extreme effort which
he then made to recover his balance
caused rupture of the insertion of the
left quadriceps extensor muscle, which
tore away with it at the same time the
upper portion of the patella. The knee
now readily bends to considerable more
than n right angle, and the prince can
go up and down stairs and walk with
ease and comfort.

DEAD MAN WINS CYCLE RACE,

Australian advices by the steamship

race in Sydney, which was won by a
dead man.

entries, some of the fastest men in Aus
tralia taking part in It, While 10000
people watched this particular race,
which was for magnificent cup young
James Somerville passed under the
tape winner, though dead.
AT the start he quickly forged ahead,
closely followed by another crack rider
named Percy Cliff. They left 4s riders
away in the rear and shot around the
track almost wheel to wheel. When
within 25 yards of the tape Somerville,
who still led by half wheel, was seen
to relax his hold on the handlebars.
His pedals whirled around, however,
and he pluckily held his position. Five
yards from the tape Cliff put on ire
mendous squirt and struck Somerville's
hind wheel, shooting the machine with
its then almost inanimate burden, like
a rocket under the tape.
The crowd yelled wildly, but silence
ensued when Somerville, after crossing
the tape, plunged head foremost from
the machine.
When picked up he was dead Physi-
clans who examined his body said e
must have had an attack of heart fail
ure on the last lap.

" ART IN The CHURCH."
Subject Of Mr. Henri c. Tden's Talk al the Art
Club Yeserda Afternoon.

Mr.. Henry c. Tilden read a very in
teresting paper on Art in the
Church." at the ladies' afternoon at the
Art Club yesterday, and he illustrated
his talk with pictures OF famous win
dows and other church decorations. He
dwelt particularly on the wide field for
symbolical art in the ornaments in use
in the Roman and Anglican churches,
and several handsome pieces in silver
and gold, enriched with Jewels, were
shown.
Mr.. Tilden said in part: 1.-THE church
is especially rich in art. The great ex-
tent of the subject makes IL impossi-
BILE TO treat 1t in any but a general
way. Where can we look for better eX-
amples OF art than in the Holy Catho-
lie church? the chancel. the altar, the
vessels used in the sacrament Offering
a wide field for artistic ornamentation.
The vestments OF priests, the vest
ments of the vessels. the eucharistic
Vestments are all ornamented with
symbolical emblems. The Anglican
church contains a great deal OF the
best art The early days of Christian
art were crude. but the early people
learned of the wondrous things that
had been done for them IN this way,
and having seen the cross and It's carv-
ings, remembered the story long after
the preacher had departed. The chief
danger in the rise of symbolical art is
in losing sight OF the spiritual signi-
ficance i'm the aesthetic pleasure"

spoke briefly upon the subject OF hall
