It

scandals that are continually calling the attention of the general public to the disreputable transac tions that are conducted under its auspices; but for how long will this continue? Many of us can remember the prize-ring in the days of Tom. Sayers; but what is pugilism now? The same may be said of pedestrianism, and the downfall of both is attributable to the one and the same cause-betting and the swindling inseparable therefrom. The Turi doubtless has a firm hold on a larger number of people than ever were connected with pugilism or pedestrianism, but the same cause that killed them may in turn destroy the Tarf if allowed to go on unchecked and unpunished. In England, it is satisfactory to sce that the manly stand taken by Lort Durham in the interests of honesty and fair play has met with the approval not only of racing men but of all sections of the community and his action has to some extent rehabilitated the Turf in public opinion and has shown the world that there are some racing men who value honour above money and who are prepared even at heavy cost to themselves to put down the disreputable prac tices which endanger their favourite pastime. Certainly in the colonies is a censor and reformer of the stamp of Lord Durham urgently required, for there are indeed plenty of imitation Chetwynds and Woods whose doings require to be brought into the light of day and on whom the sentence of perpetual banishment from our race-courses needs to be inflicted. But in the absence of ar y such leader we have to look to the stewards, handicappers and, last but not least, the Press. to protect our favourite sport from the abuses which threaten to. overwhelm it, though unfortunately in most instances we look in vain. For though the three powers combined would he irresistible in any racing community, yet even if one did their duty fearlessly, and thoroughly the good effects of such action would speedily be felt. For instance, if the stewards of our race meetings, instead of being as they are in most cases simply ornamental and incompetent, were to seri.usly apply themselves to the business which it is their duty to perform, what would be the result? They would, if they had learnt their business, have studied the form of the various horse, they would carefully scrutinize the running not only in the straight, where only the very clumsy optrator performs the part of Johnny Armstrong, but at the quarter of a mile or more from home where a horse can. be Tina pulled into a bad position without much fear of lying idle in the docks in London, the employés of the Dock Company refusing to load them

Inasmuch as it appeals to a larger audience and should be able to cause both stewards and handicappers either to do their duty or to give place to those that will. Unfortunately it is too much the fashion to be very mealy-mouthed about Turf scandals and sporting writers are apparently either too, frightened to call a spade a spade, or too interested to denounce except in, safe generalistic terms the most pronounced sharp' practice. They are, in fact, afraid to speak out, either from the fear of provoking animosities which may result in the loss of a billet or for fear of provoking the resentment of somehorse-owners with whom it is their interest to keep on good terms.

Referring to the variations of compasses on iron ships, and the remarks made by Captain Goodall on the subject, describing the adjustment of the compass by simple bar magnets, the method employed on the United States cruiser San Francisco, Captain A.
