GRATIFICATION" AT HONOUR FOR THE PRIMATE.

[FROM OUR OWN CORDESPONDENT. ]

LONDON, November 3rd.

I hear that steps are being taken to organise a fund of £10,000 with the object of providing an annuity for Mr. T. P. O'Connor, M.P., the veteran journalist and Father, " of the House of Commons. By all accounts the movement bids fair to be very successful, for there is no man in public life more popular than "Tay Pay."

People in different spheres, by no means con- 'Ened to politics, are showing their willingness to be associated with this tribute to the veteran politician and journalist."

Mr. O'Connor has made a great deal of money in his time by his writing for the Press, and for many years has enjoyed a good income apart from his salary as a Member of Parliament and he has always spent what he got like a prince Lord Birkenhead is the prime mover in the matter of the annuity, and has circulated a letter over bis name among Members of Parlia- ment and others."

The machine is a single-seater fighting monoplane, designed to travel at a speed of 300 miles an hour, and it is being built with the utmost secrecy ♪ few miles from
