The victory of laun was in a sense a surprise for must backers. There was a doubt whether the horse could stay the course up to the day before the river betting on Mania was 3 to 1, but when Derby Day broke in a deluge of rain and wind so that the Downs were sodden, the horse's chacre seemed even less cer- tain, and the starting price lengthened to 9 to 1 nad over.

About thirty or forty metabers of Parliament joined in the deputation. The argument was that the present method of palice traps for exceeding the "speed limit o the read is not efficient. Speed limit is a question of interest to all motorists at home and abroad.

The deputation of course, wanted to abolish the present speed limit of 20 miles an hour, but they were anxious as motorists always are to explain that they did not want to encourage reckless driving. Captain Brass suggested an alternative method of police control.

amely that a constable should step out and summon a car to stop if he thought it was being driven too fast. He would then see whether the car would stop in a given distance-which would be proof. whether it was suficiently under control. Sir Victor Warrender and Mrs. Philipson spoke in the same sense. In reply the Home Secretary asked the deputation to form a small committee to confer with Scotland Yard. The outcome of the con- feretice will be of great interest.
