A case of heat prostration is reported at Washington,
Would-be spectators of the Scott-Sharkey fight are

London, Yesterday.
The death has occurred of Sir Alfred Fripp, who has been prominent in con- nection with the "Frothblowers" move- ment.-Reuter.
The Inte Sir Alfred Fripp, who wes made a K.C.V.O. in 1906, and was Surgeon In Ordinary to the King, was torn in 1865. and his career has been a remarkable one.

Have You Heard?-
An old farmer went to a dentist to have an aching molar removed. The operation was completed, and the patient then Instructed the dentist to remove the next one.
"It Isn't necessary," explained the dentist, after examining the tooth, "That tooth is perfectly sound, It only aches in sympathy with the one 1 removed."
"Then yank it out," growled the farmer. "Darn such sympathy na that!"
The ardent young swain was Д very talkative fellow.
"Your are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen," he murmured. "I long to hold you in my arms, to caress you, to kiss your eyes, your ears, your lips-to whisper in your ear, 'I love you!" I-~~~~"
But she cut him short. "Well," she suggested, “I suppose It can be arranged.”
Swaine was confiding to his friend his latest love affair.
"I proposed to her on the pro- menade," he said in a broken voice, "but she threw me over."
"Never mind. old pal," said his friend, cheeringly. "It might
have been worse."
"How could it be?" asked Swaine, "Well," explained his friend, "you might have proposed to her on the cliffs!"*

The manager of a large shop in the West End came privata office one morning, and saw out of his
one of the assistants looking very red and embarrassed, in conversa tion with a well-known, lady.
"Well, Dick," said the manager, "what is the matter?"
"Sir," said Dick, "Madam asked If we delivered entrees, and I said that we would send the goods on a tray, if she was prepared to pay for the tray."

It was in August, 1925, that Guy's famous hospital lost its familier and honoured Bgure, as well as a bril- liant personality, in Sir Alfred Fripp's retirement. He was one of the Big Four in West End surgery and had many eminent patients, but though a popular Society babitue hed many more poor ones

MOTOR SPEED
Kaye Don's Attack on Record
London, Yesterday. Kaye Don has left Southampton aboard the Berengaria en route to Daytona Beach, Florida, to attempt the world's motor-car speed record with his enormous four thousand horse-power car "Silver Bullet," which he is of opinion is capable of between 240 and 250 miles an hour.
He hopes to lower Sir Henry Sograve's record.
The liner's wireless serial and signal halyards had to be removed before the car could be lowered on the deck.
Kaye Don's luggage includes nearly three tons of tyres and eight cases of spare parts-Reuter and British Wireless Service.

HusbandTM (meekly): "No, but I have observed that designers take many of my coins to adorn a wo- man's head."
Brown: "So you have just goi another parrot?"
Smith: Yes, my wife had one, so I thought I'd get one."

The driver of the motor-car which had just knocked down man, fortunately without injuring him, stopped the car and faced his victim manfully.
"I am sorry it happened," he said. "You should take more care when you are walking. I am a very ex- perienced driver. I have been driving a car for nine years."
"Well," replied the victim, "I'm not a novice myself. I've been walking for forty-nine years!"
At a village police court a pri- soner was brought up for the fortieth time.
"The same old face," remarked the magistrate.
"Ah, the same old dial, sir,” said the prisoner.
"Yes," returned the magistrate, "the same old dial is here to give you the usual time."
