Why didn't you tell your solict- tor. If you had done so, the ques- tion would have been put to Mr. Ross. Do you mean to say that you sat there and believed that Mr. Ross was complaining about" the other party, do you really say: so?--I do.
Did you allow Mr. Ross to give evidence against your house and and you just sat there "mumb" then say that it was another party Mr. Ross was complaining about.-- Yes, but Mr. Ross gave no proof about our party.
Do you mean to say that when Mr. King sad that he heard shouts of "boy" at his house approximate- ly 500 yards away, he was talk

He quite agreed that the section dealt with two different offences namely noise calculated to disturb or to annoy any person. When the summons was brought to him he had proceeded on those lines and he definitely had refused, and took full responsibility for it, not to bring somebody to support a charge which was not the charge with which he had to deal

Mr. Holmes then reviewed the evidence at great length after which his Worship remarked that he would deliver a written deci- slon on Saturday morning: of the jubilation that's all?--I should call it an exclamation of delight at the success in winning a hand at the card game. I do not describe it as a shout.
Was it in the nature of a cheer at any rate?--Yes. A private cheer or a community cheer (laughter).
Mr. Holmes: I think it is a rather apt déscription. Would you expect 1 to carry 100 yards on this particular night? On this particular night, yes. It might be audible 100 yards away.
Would there be comparative silence except the shout of "boy" that carried about 500 yards? No Not silence,
Was there other noise much the same made by calling "boy"? No. I suppose you mean the other noise was not so loud-Yes. The other noise was merely meant for the people in the house at the time,

THE AGE OLD DOCTRINE
Mr. Evans then went on to say that one of the principles of civilised community life WELS to adhere to the age-old doctrine of "Live' and 'let, Live" and without that, he said, life would be ex- tremely difficult. It seemed a matter of some humour to those happy people who live in Kow- Toon to find that it was right at any time to take summonses in respect of a sing- lar isolated instance of excessive noise after 8 pm.

Warsaw, Sept. 23. The world's champion ballóon race, the annual" Gordon Bennett ceremoniously begun contest, wAS
here on Sunday afternoon before & large and distinguished crowd m- cluding Premier Kozlovski and the President of the Polish Aero Club, Prince Radziwill. The Polish bai- Loon "Warszawa" was the first to get away, rising at seven minutes past four o'clock to the strains of the Polish national anthem ren- dered by a military band and mel- ting away to the north east car- ried by a strong fresh wind which augured well for the results of the race. The German balloons "Stad-
lessen." "Wilhelm von Opel," and Deutschland" were next to take
the air.
General regret and some hisun- derstanding were roused by the
minute last
technical dis. qualification of Spain's single entrant. Since the Spanish bal-| || loon arrived too late to win the
automatic permission to start the race, the rules required the candi- date to get a separate approval" from each other entrant. The French Aero Club, however, refus- ed to approve of the request and the Spanish airmen were thus for- ced to stay on the ground.
One other unexpected incident marred the beginning of the con- test. the gasbag of the French bal- loon "Torun" tearing free from the basket and careering off into the race unaccompanied by the balloonists.

(BY. "MORNING DEW "}
The draw for the 1935 subscription griffins took place yes- terday. There was a large attendance of owners, jockeys and racing enthusiasts, at the paddock at Happy Valley "to follow the proceedings.
Interest in the draw was belghtened by the fact that an official tryout was held earlier in the afternoon at which most of the subs made a good impression.
Particularly outstanding, was a bay pony of 13.3 (No. 90) ̈ which seemed to be the pick of the new`arrivals. At the draw No. 90 remained la the drum" until every subscriber had drawn a pony. Then those owners who have subscribed for more than one pony had another chance at the draw and the elusive No. 98 did not come out until only two ponies" re- mained in the paddock. He was then drawn by the "Mackle and Grayburn" stable, and a cheer greeted the announcement. Other ponies which appeared to run well during the trials were as follows:-
