These tournaments are ex . pected to be the biggest things of their kind ever attempted in polo . The exposition authorities have agreed to pay the travelling expenses of polo ponies and their grooms . A great advantage is that ponies can be sent out to San Francisco a month before the dates of the tournaments and can be practised and got into playing condition at the grounds of the Coronado Club .

Politically things are much quieter in Lon- don just now . It is not easy to keep a pro- onged excitement on one subject , even when the subject is so provocative as the Ulster situation . As the chances of peace and con- flict alternate , the public appear to follow them with something like listlessness . The war clouds seemed to be rising again at the week - end , and what was generally spoken of as " Carson's ultimatum " seemed rather a check to those who have too optimistically regarded the trouble as over . Talk of an early election is not as general as it was a few weeks ago ; but in some quarters , usually well informed , the probability of an appeal modern world , says the Sketch .. Motors and militants , Sir Edward finds , have added enormously to the responsibilities of the force . The anarchist , who always threatens awful things but seldom puts in an appearance , is bad enough , but the lady who keeps her word is worse . Extra Equerry to the King . Sir Edward possesses in a high degree the qualifications for his post an admirable and none too anxious manner , and the greatest readiness and coolness in an emergency , He is , at the same time , Extra Equerry to the King and Chief of Police , but in outward ap- pearance it is the Equerry who prevails . Among the haunts of his leisure hours are Ranelagh , which is on no bobby's beat , and the Atheneum Club , where crimes have never been committed - save , possibly , in the dreams of slumbering professors .

Health of body and the resulting elasticity of mind are of supreme importance to everyone living under the strenuous conditions of modern times . The person who is " out of sorts , " " off colour , " or " below par " is not in a condition to make the most of life . Now , the necessity of keeping the organs of digestion in a thoroughly clean and active state can never be too strongly emphasised , since they are the channels through which the body receives its nourish ment . It is therefore a wise , as well as a simple course , never TO BE WITHOUT Beecham's Pills . the tonic , corrective and curative properties of which , promote a healthy action of the liver , stomach , kidneys and bowels , thereby rendering the work of digestion and assimilation easy and satisfactory .

Mr. MEREDITH said as he had an en- gagement at quarter to one , he wished to ask permission to bring forward a matter which was of importance to that Council . The CHAIRMAN said if the Council rais- ed no objction , he would allow it . No objection was raised , and Mr. MERE- DITH said they had no doubt all read a re- port which appeared in the " Ross Gazette " of April 30th last with regard to the Ross Secondary School and the proposal then made that the rateable area should be ex- tended to a radius of six miles . He had no intention of going into the details as to what occurred immediately prior to the erec- tion of the Secondary School , and when the Urban Council asked permission to carry out THE MILITARY MANOEUVRES . this scheme alone . It seemed to him now after that request a very peculiar idea to The CLERK fead a letter from the War suggest making an application to the County Office in reference to the forthcoming Mili Council for the extension of the area now tary manoeuvres in Herefordshire and the subscribing to that school . They said the surrounding counties . The letter stated that Rural District subscribed practically noth- a draft order respecting these , manoeuvres ing to the support and maintenance of that would be sent to his office in June , and in- school . But that was not quite correct , for quired whether he had a suitable place in he believed that there was something like which this could he deposited for public in- £ 200 or so called whiskey - money - a very spection , naming the hours - viz .. from 10 to large percentage which the Rural District 4 each day except Saturdays , when it would Council were entitled to , but which was be from 10 to 1 o'clock - in which this order gathered in for that purpose . There was could be inspected . The Clerk , continuing , one other matter that occurred to him , and said he replied stating that the hours were that was some few years ago there was an quite convenient . and that the order could extension of the Ross Urban boundary which be deposited on the board for inspection when robbed the rural district of " its plum " so it arrived . far as the rateable area was concerned , and now they wanted to put this extra rate upon them . He only asked , " Is this Coun- cil going to take this sitting down ? " For Bridgford and Son , pointing out that the his own part he thought some steps should be taken as to whether it were the opinion of this Council to offer any protest against this rateable area of the Ross Secondary School being extended . The CHAIRMAN : I don't think it is the intention of the County Education Commit- tee to enforce a secondary education rate upon any parish that is not agreeable to it . Mr. MEREDITH : If that is so , it is quite sufficient . and that has relieved my mind at once . My idea is that if such application is made to the effect to increase the rateable area by a radius of six miles , which is not already chargeable , that we should take some steps to meet it . But if as you say that the County Committee have no intention to rate a parish that does not wish it , then that will do . The CHAIRMAN : I say only at present . But whether this Council thinks it necessary that we should be prepared to enter any protest against this extension , that is another thing . Mr. MEREDITH : I don't know whether this application has been made , The CHAIRMAN : It has been made to the Education Committee , I believe . Col. MIDDLETON : Yes , that is so . Mr. MURDOCH : But the committee has not yet met to consider it . Mr. MEREDITH : Then I think we ought to take some steps in the matter . METALLING ROAD AT BROCK- HAMPTON . A letter was read from Messrs . J. R. road at Brockhampton , which was widened on conditions that the Council metalled it properly . had not been properly completed . Mr. FOSTER said the Council had not ful- filled their part of the transaction , although he had carried out his part . The CHAIRMAN ( to Mr. Lewis ) : Why Mas this not been done before P Mr. LEWIS said the metal had been ap- plied , but it was found to be not quite sufficient . Mr. FRY said it was not satisfactory , and the road had never been metalled properly . Mr. MURDOCH said the fault was that there was not sufficient stone estimated for this piece of road . Mr. POWER : We undertook to carry out this contract , and we must see that it is done . The CHAIRMAN : Quite so . The SURVEYOR was instructed to see that this work was done . NOT WANTED . The CLERK read a letter from the Good- rich Parish Council asking for a motor signal on the corner of the joint Monmouth and Goodrich roads just below the lodge at Good- rich Court on the Pencraig side of the village . Several of the Councillors considered that these signs were getting too numerous , and Mr. COLLINS : As the application has that the more they had the less notice they were taken of , and after a discussion it was been made , I think we ought to take some action in order to meet it when it comes be decided not to recommend to the County Council that a motor signal should be placed fore the County Committee .
