GORDON CASTLE

SOLD

Crown Purchase Of 140 Sq. Miles

DUKE OF RICHMOND

AND DEATH DUTIES

The Duke of Richmond and Gordon has sold 140 square miles of his Scottish estates to the Com- missioners of Crown Lands, says the "Times."

The sale is the direct result of the heavy pressure of Death Duties on real property. The burden has been especially crushing on the vendor in consequence of a levy following two deaths of owners within the last nine years.

In a farewell note about to be addressed "to all my employees," the Duke says:-

A view of Gordon Castle, Fochabers.

Thus far the England selectors are unchosen, so the question lies in the far future.

I know that the step he has now taken is dictated by business, not cricketing reasons. In other words,

DROP-GOAL OF A DECADE

AMAZES CARDIFT

G. Jenkins' Feat For Swansea

7 pts. Cardiff The bare recital of the fact that Swansea beat Cardiff by a dropped goal and a penalty-goal to nil can- not convey the tremendous thri and excitement of this great match on the St. Helen's ground, recently. Before the game I doubt if even the most ardent Swansea supporter would have given a shilling for his side's chances of victory, even though he knew beforehand that CUA Jones Brús not playing Cardiff had scored many famous victories without the little wizard.

Swansea had given nothing more than the prom e of settling down into a useful side about mid-sea- son when the many recruits had shed the gaucherle and nervous- ness which afflict young players new to first-class Rugby. So it was that all of us, Cardif includ- ed, were quite unprepard for what happened

REMARKABLE PASSES Cardif stood amazed. while pandenicnlum broke loose among the spectators. Then, for 10 min- utes or so, Cardiff played Inspired football in their efforts to save or win the game. They tried every trick they ever knew, and some of the reverse passing between Ed- wards and Bassett was simply amazing, but it was all to no pur- pose.

The Swansea defence held, the Cardiff fury abated, and presently Swansea were back on the Cardi linu. There was a scrum, and two Cardiff forwards, too anxiously seeking Tanner's whereabouts, got off-side. A penalty kick was awarded, and Howard Davies, the Swansea full-back, kicked a goal in coolest fashion
