The decision of the Court of Appeal in the Sydenham licensing case was to have been given last Friday, but so far as we can ascertain the judgment has not been de livered, and the Press Association has given us no information ot any postpone ment. Cttisidering the interest taken in the case everywhere *c must say the Press Association is*very careless in the matter. About 1500 people attended the Cash Amateur Clycling Club's meeting at Christ church on Saturday (the second day.) J. Boyd took the first prize in the New Zea land Wheel Race Handicap with 39 points, W. G. McCombe, of Melbourne, lowered Rollingshaw's quarter mile New Zealand record of 38 l-sth Bee to 36 3-sth sec. L. B. Schrop, of Melbourne, reduced the New Zealand 5 mile record to 13min 55 2-sth mc. and in the New Zealand ten mile record to 28min 11 3 6th sees. The one mile championship was won by McCombe; R. P. Clarkson, Christchurch, 2; J. A. Bate Rarigiora, 3; time 2min 44sec The live Mile Roadster Handicap was won by F. Stace, Chrutchurch, 900 yds, with J. Clark son, 600 yds, second; J. A. Body, Dunsandel, 500 yds, third; time, 15min 24sec. An accident happened on the bridge on Sunday evening, which, although it had a serious side inasmuch as a lady and several children did not escape without more or less severe wounds, had also its comic side. A resident decided to send an old cat to its last account, and elected to do bo via the Ashburton river. With his wife and family oh board he drove his Whitechapel over the traffic bridge, and when above the main stream he launched grimalkin overboard. Dobbin was going at a smart walk, but Jehu, anxious about the fate of the dethroned pet, stood up and craned over the parapet, forgetful for, the moment of where his horse was going. Dobbin kept close to the parapet —too close, as it happened, for the axle-box oftught the rails, ana before anything could be done to rectify the error, the trap was npset, and all hands were sprawling in the road. As has been said, the lady was a good deal bruised about the head and shoulders, and the children were more or less suiferers by the accident, but the boss escaped injury. An unkind friend of the driver wickedly adds that puss was the first to welcome the ambulance train when it arrived home.

Stop I>rinlciMg, " I can't" are two little words seldom used by a man who drinks ; to use them he thinks is i»n evidence of weakness, and so we wonder why, when he quits, he doesn't stay quis. If wo knew all, our wonder would be, with that terrible craving at his vitak, ho is able to resist eyen. for a shfjrt time—a craving on which wilUpower, moral suasion, the pledge, self-respect, have no effect whatever, and which until recently has been an insur mountable bar to reform in thousands upon thousands of cases. But the time has come when that craving san be stopped ! Sure. Just as sure as it is possible to cure a cold. The appetite can be destroyed ; the man placed back, so far as drinking is concerned, iusfc vrtiere he was before he acquired theTiabit. The cure does not destroy the will, but tlv appetite, 80 he will have to learnt' rink all over again, and the effort wil. be so great that if he is worth, savyig he •won't make 'it. R,.
