London. May 20.

Sir George Stanley, the Govern- or of Madras, will take Lord Wi- Ungdon's place when the Viceroy comes home by virtue of his post. tion as the Presidency Governor with the longest service.

Only the 'Governors of the three Frealdencies. Bengal, Bombay, and Madras, the three political ap- pointments are eligible to act as a substitute for the Viceroy. Of the three. Bir George Stanley, who is Lord Derby's brother, is in his Afth year as Governor, while Sir John Anderson was appointed in 1932 and Lord Brabourne only recently took up his Governorship.

How strictly this new rule will, or can, be enforced on 'such a ̈re- cognised harvest occasion as a Test match remains to be seen.

Turn your sword on me." Such an attitude is rare among Parliamentary candidates.
