It must not be imagined that this reign of terror was accepted without opposi tion. But false ideas of loyalty and esprit de corps gained the day and the team arrived at Singapore in a very chastened, but fit condition. The only licence allowed was in the realm of dress. The result was that everyone covered their nakedness with the least amount of clothing with the exception of the Chaplain who, upholding the archaic tra- dition of the Colony, walked about fully clothed and in his right mind the whole of the day.

Bearing in mind the truism that praise is always more important and essential than judgment, it may not be out of place to give a further report on each player.

LONDON, June 2nd. In the match North of England v. the Australians which opened at Birming- ham to-day, there were only a minutes play on account of the miserable weather. There were 3,000 spectators present when Cart won the toss.

WERNHER GEMS MYSTERY, DEVELOPMENT IN A FAMOUS

THEFT CASE.

POLICE INVESTIGATIONS.

There has been a dramatic development in connection with the famous Wernher jewel mystery, one of the most remark. able burglaries in London in recent years.

Since the theft took place in the Red Room at Bath House, in the spring of last year, Scotland Yard officers have maintained diligent inquiries, and have at last come into possession of informa tion which, it is expected, will enable them to formulate charges for a police- court investigation,

The Wernher gems were the property of Lady Ludlow, widow of Sir Julius Wern her, the South African diamond magnate They consisted of sixteenth century_worka of art collected by Sir Julius, and wer stolen from the Piccadilly mansion, the theft being the work of a cat burglar.

Women cannot understand this.. When 'n woman rest she does it ostentatiously,

"I am not being idle for my own gratification. but in order to recuperate for more Work."

„“ SOMETHING TO DO." This is why they are so annoyed when they see a man relaxing. "Can't you find something to do?" They cry-just as if having something to do were the be-all and end-all of life!
