When," "sayt:"Mr." "Ridgeway, "Oliver Cromwell formed his Ironsides the most powerful military weapon that the world had yet seen he dealt a fatal blow to the use of great horses in war. Since his Ironsides wore buff coats instead of armour, lighter and more setive horses sufficed to mount them, and to their greater mobility their success was largely due. In vain the Duke of Newcastle in 1658 held a brief for the beavy hories of the North against the light breeds of Mediter ranenn lands. With the final disappearance of armour the heavy black horse was relegated lo

The military career of the English black horse did not, however, terminate completely with the disuse of armour, for, as Mr. Ridgeway proceeds to show, his qualities, as a war-horse were too great to be overlooked, and all that was needed was to render him: lighter and more active by the infusion of beller blond, All the British heavy cavalry, with the exception of some regiments mounted on bays and greys, bas continued down to our own times to be mounted on black horses. Moreover, the so: called Shure horse, which at one time undoubt edly carried men ingarmour brough battles, has, after two centuries of service in the. nobler and more benefirent arts of peace, been, suddenly restored to his ancient place on the battle-field. "Taught by the experience of inch guns at Ladysmith, our War Office has now furnished the First Army Corps with a brigade of heavy guns, each of which is drawn by six Shire horses, not ridden, however, but led by the drivers!!

In the larger world of Chineid politics there is little to record. The past year has been one of consolidation of the. force of reform, and of suppression of the forces of disorder. There was: a moment, lita when it almost appeared as if a spark would have set the country ablaze. Dr. Sun Yat sen never had his forces--and those of newly formed allies so well organised, and the squilibrium of Empire verged, closely on instability. Happily the crisis, passed and the close of the year has seen a general peace throughout the land, for the exciting events of ten days ago were of a purely local character and very rapidly suppressed. The general internal political settlement is te flected in the pacific attitude of the Peking Government towards the representatives of foreign, syndicates seeking concessions There is caution certainly; but that is very different matter from the very strong feeling which was finding expression some time ago, in the less influential quarters.
