A GROWING CUSTOM IN
ENGLAND.
Motorists have been forbidden to
use their covered care as bathing achines on the Underelift Drive at Bournemouth.
This prohibition appears to be based on the rather novel ground that visitors who adopt this man ner of enjoying a day's seaside holi day do not spend money in the
towa.
It is also complained that BU many, ears have been parked at this spot that congestion has arisen.
Leicester have been showing good form this year and on Thursday beat the Welshmen by an innings and seven runs, at Cardiff. Arnott was the only batsman to make a land against the bowling of the Leicester team, scoring 54 before being dismissed. Shipman captured four wickets for 10 while Geary took a similar number for 44 runs. It Glamorgan's serond innings Araott ade 61, Skelding taking five wie- For Leicester kets for 67 runs.
