talk to him for a number of years at a time. In the end, I have overlooked these attacks and forgiven him because of the admiration I have always had for Dr. Lasker as a great chess player; also because of his age and the fact that he had been champion of the world for so many years. Now for a third time Dr. Lasker assumes an aggressive attitude towards me wholly uncalled for, since I have done publicly nothing that could hurt him in the least. “As to the clock incident, to the best of my recollection, Dr. Lasker’s facts are not correct. It seems that Dr. Lasker tries to find an alibi every time he loses a game to me. In Havana it was a heat unheard of even in that climate, to say nothing of the fond and even the sun, although we played at night. In New York his alibi is the clock. I have no doubt that if we played elsewhere he would find the climate too cold for him. One would imagine that since Dr. Lasker lost the chess championship he is bent on obtaining some other championship. At the rate he is going, if he is not the alibi champion already, he very soon will be.” The Advertising Club of Albuquerque, N.Y., has launched a movement to change the name of the State of New Mexico to Coolidge. A resolution endorsing a Bill that had been prepared for presentation to the Legislature has been adopted unanimously. President Masaryk of Czechoslovakia has decided to absent himself from the country during the next elections, which are due at the end of April. He will take a long-postponed trip to Egypt, leaving in the middle of March and he will also visit Palestine and Greece. He will be absent from Prague for about five weeks.

A cablegram giving assurance of his recovery from an operation for hernia has been sent to President Coolidge by Major-General Leonard Wood, Governor-General of the Philippine Islands. The new Rumanian Minister to Spain, Prince Antoine Bibesco, formerly Minister to the United States, has arrived at his post. When he was recalled from Washington nearly a year ago there were many rumors purporting to explain his withdrawal after five years there. One was that the wife of Princess Bibesco, formerly Miss Asquith, was not well received in Washington. The Rumanian Government suggested that a business man would be of more use in Washington than a diplomat of Prince Bibesco’s tradition. IN THE QUARTER Mr. Rudyard Kipling, who is to be the guest of the Brazilian Government, has arrived in Rio de Janeiro from England accompanied by his wife. He proposes to make a stay of about a month. On Saturday afternoon intellectual France will honor, at a meeting at the Sorbonne, Dr. Thadée Zelenski, who came to Paris to study medicine and remained to do something quite different. The young Polish physician had been given a scholarship for study in French clinics. Soon after he reached Paris he picked up a volume of Balzac.

FAVORITE BEATEN FOR WATERLOO CUP LONDON, Thursday.—Doubts entertained yesterday before the opening of the Waterloo Cup coursing trials, at Altcar, as to the ability of Pentonville, the favorite, to win his run, were confirmed when an Irish dog, Hidden Doctor, clearly outclassed him. Pentonville ran listlessly, causing great surprise. The odds on the leader had dropped to 10 to 1 in the morning, leaving Sir John Humphrey’s Hangar at the head, at 6 to 1. Hidden Doctor was beaten in the second trial by Mr. Dunn’s Demetrius. They both ran well but the Irish entry was behind on points when Demetrius pulled down his hare. Demetrius is considered a good possibility for the end of the stake. Keen Laddie, also an Irish dog, won his two courses in grand fashion. TAMPA RACES HALTED TAMPA (Florida), Thursday.—For the second time all horse-racing in Tampa has been halted by the local authorities. Hillsborough County officials were empowered by the Sheriff and the Assistant County Solicitor to arrest all responsible members of the Tampa Jockey Club if an attempt were made to carry out the thirty-day racing programme.

Axia disappointed the backers who made him favorite at Vincennes yesterday by making no effort at all in the Prix de Senlis, in which Abigail confirmed her recent good performances by winning.

The ban against the "Bal de la Misère Noire," has been commented upon by many inhabitants of the Quarter. The hall was to have taken place at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées and it had been arranged by a group of artists, representing many nations, who used the sobriquet of adhérents of the “Misère Noire” because it seemed best to suit their taste and their leanings. These leanings, if they are to be defined, must be termed rather medieval. “Misère Noire” is a medieval conception, inexorable, gigantic and personified—that is, as a sort of daemon with its retinue of dirt and lice and other sycophantic vermin. The ballet arranged by M. Dubosq was a marvel in itself. It carried over with beautiful feeling the sense of the Middle Ages. It showed the narrow restrictive influence of the Cabalists and the Talmud on both orthodox Judaism and the scholasticism of the Fathers of the Church. This was followed by the freer music, accompanied by pantomime, of the vast Gregorian Chant until finally the beauty of faith flowers in the Miracle Plays. It will thus be seen that Black Misery, against which the homeless of Paris and their leaders have voilelessly protested as a mockery of their own pitiable plight, has nothing to do with them or their own sad deprivation, but is purely an artistic conception as beautiful in its way as Paul Claudel’s play “The Tidings Brought

It will thus be seen that Black Misery, against which the homeless of Paris and their leaders have voilelessly protested as a mockery of their own pitiable plight, has nothing to do with them or their own sad deprivation, but is purely an artistic conception as beautiful in its way as Paul Claudel’s play “The Tidings Brought to Mary.” It is regrettable that this play, and its mystical significance, is not better known. If it were better known, perhaps such a conception as Black Misery—derived from the rites of the Middle Ages—would be better understood by all concerned. What seems most remarkable about the prohibition of the ball, however, is that nobody has as yet raised a word for the freedom of artistic expression. For M. Dubosq is an artist of distinction and other artists—actors, scene-designers, costumers, dancers, musicians—have been busily engaged in preparing both the ballet, and the cortège. These people have given both their time and money to this venture. The less is their loss. And they have been damaged financially so far as all outsiders can judge, on grounds that have nothing to do with their art. But we hear that M. Dubosq will be permitted to give his ballet in another place. The election of the Rev. T. E. R. Phillips as President of the Royal Astronomical Society of England is a recognition of a country rector’s contributions to a modern study of the stars.

Pettigrew, general superintendent of the Manchester City parks; has received the greatest distinction open to British horticulturists—the Royal Horticultural Society’s Victoria Medal of Honor in Horticulture—in acknowledgment of his services to British horticulture. This medal was established in the year 1897, and the number of holders is limited strictly to sixty-three, the number of years in the late Queen’s reign. Vacancies can be created only by death. At the death of Dame Nellie Melba the treasures collected by her will be given to the Australian nation, she has announced. Dame Nellie wishes a palace of art to be built in Melbourne, so that the objects of art may be kept where the people can see them.

Cardinal Ranuzzi has died in Rome at the age of seventy-four years. Born in Bologna in 1857 he was ordained in 1880. He became a Cardinal in 1916.

The company has a Government permit to manufacture whiskey for medicinal use but no authority to make wine. The dry agents posed as buyers for a Jewish congregation. Officials of the company declare that the wine is sold only for sacramental use. The agents retort that it has reached night clubs and cafes.

Although his books dealt entirely with Jewish subjects and Jewish characters, he did not know Hebrew or Yiddish, but wrote in Russian, his books being translated for Jews not acquainted with the language. He was said to “write with an accent,” as he adapted the Russian language in a vocabulary and grammar to the understanding of his Jewish readers. He had been an exile since the Revolution. Many of his works were pirated in America and elsewhere, and he found himself without legal recourse. Comings and Goings.
