OLD AMPHITHEATRE

FURTHER SECTION OF WALLS DISCOVERED AT CHESTER. Excavations for the remaine of Chester's Roman amphitheatre have been carried out on the south side of St. John's House, and a further section of the walls has been dis covered, giving another point in the outline of the structure. This section is standing to a height of approximately five feet, and, like the other sections, it rests upon the solid rock, lying 15ft 4in, below the existing surface.

Mr. R. S. Dagliesh added that at the docks the Commissioners had been putting their house in order, and were quite ready to tackle a largely increased trade.

The association does not suggest| that the level of the dues is respon- sible for the present economic crisis, but it does claim that a sub- stantial reduction in the dues would help materially to place the shipping industry in a better poai-

ilon.

A few small, objects have been

discovered, including a perfect ex- ample of a bronze brooch, with pin and spring intact. The brooch clearly belongs to the second cen- tury. Three coins have been un- earthed, one of brass of Domitian (A.D. 81-96), which must have been in circulation for a long period, as there is no trace of the inscriptions left. Both the others, belong to the third century, and one was minted during the reign of Tetricus (268- finds of broken pottery which will other small 273). There are also finds of broken pottery which will serve to give a true date of the erection of the building.

One of the questions put to the excavators is, "How do they account for such an enormous amount of earth over the foundations of the Roman structure, hereabouts to a depth of about 18ft. 7" Professor Newstead said it was obvious that nearly the whole of the soil was material, consisting transported largely of buildera refuse-wall plaster, mortar, and bricks-and a good deal of refuse, all clearly hav- ing been brought in the eighteenth century.

Fragments of Beer-Mugs. Some of the broken pottery is of much interest. There are bits of a great many beer muge, for instance, one of which had an Inscription uport in large capital letters. What the exact wording of this may have been it is impossible to say, but it may be inferred that it was some- thing in the nature of "Drink, and fill up again."

It is hoped that traces of the arena wall at another point may be discovered. If the excavators are fortunate enough in tracing the point of the arena wall, it will then be possible to say with some degree of certainty how far the structure extended northwards Into Little St. John Street. The structure just laid bare is known to extend a dia- tance of 10ft. into the roadway. If the structure extends across Little St. John Street, then it seems al- most certain that the new by-pass road will have to be carried out. On the other hand, if the structure It- self does not encroach on Little St. John Street so much, It has been suggested that the new road should, be abandoned and Little St. John Street widened in order to take the traffic.

of the bulk of the goods which pass through the canal, and claims that the effect of such a charge is nagligible. The association does not challenge this figure, but it: would point out that there many commodities, forming a large proportion of the general cargo shipped to the East through the Suez Canal, on which the dues re- present a considerably higher per- centage of the value than one or two Whatever the percentage may be it must, however, be realis- ed that if any real recovery in European trade with the East is to be achieved it can only come from on accumulation of savings each of which

seem

The association point out that at the present time a very large pro- portion of the vessels passing through the Canal are half-empty, but under the Canal Company's re- gulations such vessels have to pay the sume amount in dues às they would if fully loaded. The ques- tion whether or not one European country has increased its trade at the expense of another is obtiously a matter which is not influenced by the Suez Canal charges. The per- tinent fact is that American and Inter-Asia trade has increased at the expense of European trade as a whole.

In conclusion, the association thinks it right to mention that its tho Sucz correspondence with Canal Company has been conduct- ed on entirely friendly lines, and, therefore, it is glad to think that the concluding paragraph in the statement recently issued by the Suez Canal Company does not re- fer to that correspondence.

[The

paragraph referred to above spoke of the "increasingly aggressive manner" in which the various claims had been present- ed.]
