Many of the large landowners have been forced to sell their es tates to tenauts in order to pay the huge death tax. The recent retire- | ment of Lord Durham from racing is said to have been due to a large extort to the necessity of selling some of his stable to pay death dutles of more than £850,000 through the deaths of two earls of Durham.-United Press.
"THE GUT."
THAMES TERROR AT OXFORD TO BE STRAIGHTENED.
Oxford men the world over know the terrors of "The Gut" on the Thames, and will be interested to
know that there is now a movement on foot to straighten it..
"We are going to raise money in the University to do away with the Gut, so that the rowing course may be made practically straight," said Mr. P. Mallam, the University coach. "This will not be in five years' time, but rather In 15 or 20, but the im- provement will be made."
It is understood that the success of the schema will depend on the support from the City authorities.
He has also taken a prominent part in commercial life, and is chairman of the New Jagersfontein Estate and Diamond Mining Com- pany and a director of the De Beers Consolidated Mines, Ltd.
