RUSH OF APPLICATIONS FOR TICKETS,
Wembley Stadium authorities last month stated that they have al rendy received sufficient requests for English Cup Final tickets to Gill the Stadium twice over. This Is about eight times the number of tickets which will be available to the general public.
It was announced that three quarters of the tickets this season would be issued through the Foct- ball Association, and only the re- mafaing quarter through the agen. cier.
MYSTERY HORSE AT HURST PARK.
BACKED DOWN FROM -33's TO-6's!
There had been ne racing ander National Heat Rules at Hurst Park for a twelvemonth until last month. Either frost, food, or BOOW has intervened to cause the abandon- ment of previous meetings, and one recalls that the last "at" racing had to be cartailed owing to snow. Conditions could not have been more ideal for racing under either code than those which prevailed. The sun had sufficient power to temper the chilliness; visibility was excellent, and rarely have horses experienced more perfect going." There was a very satisfactory, at- tendance, and the tote
was well patronised. Ia
the prices were better than the S.P., and in others the bookmakers' pri ces were more advantageous.

The horse was shown on the pro-. gramme as being trained privately, but he was trained by C. Chapman. Evidently some one was aware of the horse's usefulness, for he was. backed from 33 to 1 to 6 to 1. Fur- thermore, he won with supreme ease. To continue the story, he was ridden by a jockey named Teas-Stabat Master-Cujus Animan dale, who is well known in France, arid has occasionally ridden in Eng- land. The story was continued, in

Proposed Conference. "Supposing the British Cabinet, were to any to-morrow, We are prepared to consider and further a scheme of Indian independence,' and produces an atmosphere, as it can certainly do, congenial to the framing of such scheme, that would automatically prevent any further preparation for civil disobedience."
Does not the proposed round- table conference offer you an op- portunity for full discussion in this reapoct" I asked.
"No," he answered, with some emphasis. Not in any shape or form. Because the round-table con- ference scheme so far as I have authentic understood it from sources is designed to discuss any- thing between a form of government infinitely less than the present and dominion status.
..
There is, for example, this. proposition made by responsible ex-oficials that powers hitherto enjoyed by the people of India, auch as they are now, should be taken away, because theso critics actually suggest that we bave. proved ourselves" unworthy of these powers."
Therefore, such a round-table conference, where even the capacity of India for full freedom is in ques-- tion, has no place for me whatever. It is entirely out of the question that I should attend. I can only attend a conference which is pled- ged not to consider how much power India should or should not enjoy, but to consider ways and means of framing a scheme of com- plete independence. This is the only conference I could consider for a moment attending."
Will Britain Bo Frightened?"
I asked Gandhi bluntly at this point whether he seriously believed his methods would frighten the British Government into subjection to his demands.
It all depends on the response of the people," he asserted. "I am confident, but I am not certain. I think the time is ripe now to formulate my plans. It is my own limitations that make it impossible for me to penetrate the surround- ing darkness,
"In other words, the atmos phere round me is depressing, and there are undoubtedly forces of violence to be seen on the surface which I may not be able to con- trol.
But, as I have said, truc non- violence which I advocate might yet be able to circumvent and risc superior even to these forces; but being myself an imperfect instru- nent I may not be able readily to lay my hands on the proper form of non-violence which will meet these circumstances. It is this menacing force of violence which threatens the land, which must first be sterilised."
Limit of Action.. Gandhi emphasised here that civil disobedience was the extreme limit al' action that he would counten. ance, declaring it to be the limit of nonviolence, anything more in- volving programme of violence, to which he would never be a party.
The strength of the extremists," he said, replying to further ques tion, in not great to-day, but is growing."
J
"But supposing the extremista get out of hand? I asked," and the responsibility for bloodshed be ecmes their, and therefore yours- what ther Supposing the British Government are then forced to take the action which the British public will demand of them, and they make arrests and arrest you-what ther 1"
I am not afraid of my arrest," he replied solemnly, and it is quite open to the British Govern- ment to precipitate the reign of vio- lence, as they, have done in the What the consequences then past. will be I cannot say, but such a step would, in "my opinion, be the sheerest folly."
**Then your view of the immed. iate future is what?" I inquired as a final question to the old man.
A Trial of Strength.
Placing his ball of cotton in his lap for the second time since we sat down he looked up and replied in conclusion:-
"The immediate future is, for man so optimistio, as I am, qhite bright,, but if I were to, calculate the pros and cons and to enter into the arithmetic of the situation, I must confess that the problem is insoluble. I do not know what is going to happen. I am not in the happy position of a general who knows beforehand the whole of his plan, who works according to time-table, and can profess to be able to forecast results with cer tainty.

But I can assure you of this much The trial of strength in India is now at hand. The outcome depends entirely on the British Government.
There are two Courtes which they may pursue. Ono way is the, old panicky way which will lead to Dyerim, "to frightfulness and mað repression, and then anarchy. The other courad is the way of the wise man who reflects on his past sine, repents, and rettacee his steps. Let us hope."
