There is a desire in some directions tbat it should be located in the City of Loudon, but after tbn  tiasco ef die Guildhall sittings it is to be hoped that no experiment of this kind will be tried.  The melancholy suicide of Mr Dove, of Lincoln's Inn, caused extreme surprise among Ins numerous friends and acquaintances at the Bar and in literary circles. One occasionally hears of unsuccessful barristers putting an end to their brieflessnesa by putting an end to their existence. But it is rare, indeed, for the fairly prosperous practitioner to destroy himself. The Inns of Court, as it was said by Dickens, and often before and since, have been the scene of many tragedies, bat the tragedies have been for the most part of a different kind. Mr Dove was known outside the Bar for his fondness for historical study- Be was one of the principal supporters of the Royal Historical Society, for which he acted as secretary, and in connection with which he took a leading part in organising the recent Gibbon commemoration. He was also mainly instrumental in founding the Selden Society, an association of lawyers for the special purpose of studying the archaeology, if one may so style it, of legal lore.  -000.-...  If Lord Rosebery does not win next year's Detby it will not be Sir John Blundell Maple's fault. In fact, it will be greatly owing to Sir John if our sporting Premier does again secure the blue riband of the turf. Lord Rosebery has a horse named Sir Visto, which won the Kempton Park Imperial Stakes, and is reckoned to have a good chance for next year's Derby. His lordship wants the rider of Lades to ride Sir last() next year. But Sir John Blundell Maple has a first claim on Watts's services next year, and he has agreed to pay this favourite jockey for next season a higher sum than Lord Rosebery receives for being Prime Minister. Lord Rosebery has asked Sir John to allow him to have Watts's services for Sir Visto for next year's Derby. To this request Sir John has generously acceded.
