HEROISM OF “SUNNY SAUNDERS."

GAVE HIS LIFE FOR DROWNING.

Known to his friends as "Sunny Saunders," a young draper's as- sistant, Frederick Hubert Saunders, gave his life in an effort to save a lad from drowning at Beverley Brook, Wandsworth.

While sitting on the bank with his wife he heard a cry for help, and found that a boy had fallen

in, but himself got into difficulties, and was drowned. The boy was aayed by a rope thrown out by a sculler.

At the inquest on Saunders it was stated that he was shot through the lung during the way but did & pension because he thought there were others worse

Rateable Value,

An authority admitted yesterday that the capital value of the Royal Exchange was probably well over $1,000,000, yet the rateable value is about £50,000

A reporter was told at the Guildhall that the reason for this was that only a very small portion of the building (the offices and shops) was rated.

The great covered court in the centre, which it is now suggested and the large area in front, with should be used by stockbrokers,

the wide steps leading up to the pillared portico are not rated........ The Royal Exchange is adminis- tered by the Gresham Committee.)

A flying house party to whi many of the guesta were to traf by aeroplane, was to be given the Marchioness Townshend di ing the weekend of July 28 at 1 country place, Raynham Pa Fakenham, Norfolk. Among the expected to arrive in aeroplan on the lawn at Raynham were i Mastor of Sempill, Lord Oasulat Lady Bailey, and six others."
