London. June 6. When the teams in yesterday's international angling contest at Loch Leven returned to the pier, it was found that Scotland, Eng- Land and Wales bad thirty-eight 5sh each.
Ireland with twenty-five was a poor fourth.
Strong men trembled "with" ex- citement

Then a mighty cheer went up." Scotland had beaten England for first place by an ounce and a half.
Meanwhile, having Jested about Scotland being bottom in last year's competitition, I have receiv ed a challenge from a well-known
Scottish angler.
It is that I should fish him at Loch Leven from 10 am to 6 p.m., | be to provide the boat and all other expenses, and I the whisky, I accept on two conditions: one, that the contest should be from 10 pm to 6 am. (actually the best fishing time in mid-summer) and, two, that the loser should pay for the Bootch.

Mr. Walter Creighton is producing at the Albert Hall next month. Not only are they the first poems which Mr. Kipling has written for some considerable time, I am told, but they are Kipling of a fine old crusted vintage of the years, when all roads led to Mandalay or there- abouts. Mr. Creighton is so proud of his achievement that he has had one of thein, a stirring hymn,
