Mr. Pritchard Morgan is due here in October and will be accompanied by Mr. Jack, a geo- logical expert, formerly in the Queensland Government and a well known man in the mining world. Perhaps Mr. Morgan will be first in the field in a practical scuse after all,

THE MINES OF WEST-
AUSTRALIA,
The mines of West Australia foom Targely in the attention of mining men at the present time, and monopolise a still greater amount of interest on the part of Stock Exchange brokers and dabblers in scrip. There is just as much difference between mining men and habitues of the Stock Exchange as there is between sportsmen and sporting men. Stock Exchange men are but the intermediaries (and arc, necessary to an extent) between the men opening up mines and developing a country's mineral wealth and the man with capital for investment, and who is not averse to taking the extra risk usually attached to mining ven tures above commercial investments, because he knows that the recompense for successful mining speculation is very much greater thate can be expected from investiment in commerce or real estate, The very speculative nature of the one class of speculation and the known value of the other form of investment determine that this must be so.

The Wellington Football Union supports the proposals to send a New Zealand football teain to England, provided that it is under the man- agement and control of the New Zealand Union. The Otago Union has passed the following resolution"That it is impossible to send home a representative New Zealand team with out making the players professionals, and that the present proposal is rendered doubly al jectionable by the, introduction of the football speculator, and that the union, therefore, ex- presses surprise that the New Zealand Union should have given it so much countenance ** to have submitted it to the affiliated unions."

SECOND DAY
So much for the brighter side of West Austra lian mining. Now for the reverse. The greater number of the more important mines of West Australia are under London-control, and the boards of directors meet in London. People have certainly the right to manage their own properties in the manner they deem wisest, but when other people own a portion of such pro- petty surely they are entitled to participate in the knowledge of how things are progressing on their properties. Yet this is the difficulty Australian shareholders in London-managed mines complain of They can get no official information, concerning the wines till it has gone to London and altered through the columns of vathais papers, which colour the reports according to the fancies of the writers. In Australian-managed mines, the information is sent to the office, and is usually published quickly above official signature, so that the sharchidders may know the latest -THE PERING ST.

H. W. Payne, the North Roads' crack, has taken a large piece off the angler mile record, which he has reduced, at the Crystal Palace- track, to 1 min. 49 3-5th secs. Amateur track records are rarely attempted or beaten nowa makes then necessarily slower than, say, the days, as the restriction to tanden pacing only perfonnance of only an equally speedy profes or multicycle pacing. Paced records and en- sional, who has, however, the benefit of motor paced records make two definitely distinct classes, but when there are all sorts of discrimi- nations to be male between paced by tandems, or singles, paced by men or motors, with or without windshields, then the record lists be forner of paramount interest. What a man come complicated, nor is the status of the per- does, not what he is, forms the sole point of interest. If he can do his quarter faster than anybody else, his social position or his salary, or whether he does it for love or money are all immaterial. Credit should go to the fastest and best, as a bicyclist, whoever he may be. This feeling is growing in this country, and a revival of the old idea to let amateurs and pro- fessionals ride together under identical condi- tions has now a greater chance of success than ever before.
