SEQUEL TO A “RED” MEETING.

A remarkable long journey of a cat is reported from Coventry. The owners, on leaving Coventry to live at Bridgewater (Somerset), put the cat in a hamper, and took. it with them by motor car.

Soon after their arrival the cat was missed. Eight weeks later it was found trying to gain admission to its old home at

Coventry, after covering nearly 180 miles. The animal was in. fairly good condition, but travel- stained.

Sandy wished to catch the morning train to London, and being a heavy sleeper, was in doubt if he would wake up carly enough. He thought of several methods to ensure success, but each seemed to indicate the neccesity of a tip. In the end he posted himself a letter with no stamp on it.

William Gilbert created Sir Joseph Porter for the Gilbert." and Sullivan opera, H.MS; Pinafore.

A hardy old British Admiral was Sir Joseph Porter! He rose to be "the ruler of the Queen's Navee" by assiduoup ly sticking to his office desk, and rarely venturing upon the ocean. When he did go to sea he was accompanied by dozens. of sisters and cousins and aunts, who followed his ex-.

He was praised mightily by the seamen for being an Eng- lishman, when he might have succumbed to the temptation of belonging to some other nation. The First Lord of the Ad- miralty at the time of Sir Joseph's creation was a civilan "named William Smith, and the character is supposed to ́have been a skit on this worthy

gentleman.
