Something New in Horsemanship

Some English ideals of horsemanship long regarded as unimpeachable, hart lately been rather rudely assailed, A correspondent of the * Field * who seems to have stndled attentively the peculiarities of Boer horsemanship, says that the seat of the Boer fs directly the opposite to that taught ia Eagluh riding schools; The Boer sits on horseback quite loosely, with no grip »nywhere, *nd balances himself in the saddle as a ropt walker balances hirnse'f on his ropn. He d 063 cot fcff. ct an upright seat, but wears hisstirrnp leathers so short that hia nose and his knees are. commonly not far apart Sis feet are thrait home in the stirrup irons and carried at right angles to the horse's body. Such a figure as he cats would con vulse Hyde Park with laughter. But we had learnt to respect the Boer ai a horseman as well ss a horsemaster. ' The chief enda of riding have been well defined aa to—to remain -ia the saddle and to spare the how.

Licensing Courts.

CHRI3TCBORGK, United Ptem Aseoolafefon-—By KleoUio Telegraph Christohurcu, June 6 A point was raised in connection with the application by Mark Davis for » wholesale licensf. Counsel said the application would probably be opposed. The Chairman replied "Ho was of opinion that the Committee had no power to refuse to grant as many whole sale licences as might be applied for pro vided the character of the applicant* wu satisfactory. Ad application had been refused by a southern licensing Committee and the mutter was argued befere the Conrb of Appeal. The result was that the Cum° mittee was directed to issue the license. He had in hiß possession a letter from Dr Findlay engaged when this case was argued I to the iffeat that as the result of the decision !no Committee had power to refuse to grant a wholesale license." A resident objected to fcbe application on the ground that the | granting of a license would increase the cumber of licenses in spite of the local option pnll. The Chairman said that theHuprenao Court bad decided the question and th« Committee waa bound to iollow it. He then granted the application. Thii is in extob contravention of a recent decision, of Mr asleden, S.M., Wellingto

Sometimes its takes the form of rheama™ ticgoupor of lumbago—a crippling, anil ache in the smail of the ba«k* It is the blood that causes rheumatism and atten dant- ailments: blood that has become impure from wrong food or wrong drink, so that when the Damp Colb Wfathbr I comes, or the patient gets wet, the agonies begin ; because *he blood, impoverished and acid, only needs eomething to stare the pain. Dr Williams' Pink Pilis have cared mor-s cases of rheumatism, rheumatic gout, and sciatica, than of ail other diseases put tog«ther. "Rheumatism in the legs and knees afflicted me for seven years.
