SHAW ON REVOLUTIONS. THINGS THAT PUZZLE MR. BALDWIN. pver again on the Cesarewttch sweep, for which over 100. tXX) has already been sent In.

The closing date or this is September 15. There is no doubt thai many people are buying tickets in the Sweep this year instead of putting it on a horse. The bookmakers reported yesterday that they have not had so much business as usual, and tttkt the general public was not coming forward as it has in past years. But the figures of the Irish sweepstake are one Indication that the Darby a till remains the most popular racing event of the season. It is the one race of the year which interests everybody, from the boy In the street to the top-hatted member of the House of Lords, and the authorities are expecting a record crowd on Wednesday.

Much, of course, will depend upon the weather; indeed, it is the weather with the hanee that the-going may be heavy, that bag added to the exciting" uncertainty of tjie race. An outsider, at, a-thumplag price, may save many a Wednesday. But no one need Tie alarmed that the race will be scratched. The Observer was told yesterday that there was no danger of the race being postponed owing to the weather. ORWELL'S PROSPECTS.

Racing people regard Orwell as one of the best horses -t modern times, and on Wednesday he will start the hottest favourite the Derby hasknown since 1919. Many believe that this Manton colt is, in the language of the racecourse, already past the post. They point to the clear superiority of his public form, and refuse to consider the possibility of his defeat. CBuy a few of the owners whose colours wia be carried in the great race have enjoyed the immense satisfaction of winning the Derby. Lord Woolavington has been twice successful, first with Captain Cuttle and then with Coronach.

This time he will be represented by Cockpen, who was unbeaten last year: The Aga Khan, who runs both Dastur and Firdaussl, achieved the greatest ambition of his racing career when he won the Derby two seasons back with Blenheim. Mr. J. A. Dewar, whose colours may possibly be carried by the rank outsider Sunnyiorough won the race last year with a colt inherited from his uncle.

FATHER AND SOX. SPEECH TO OXFORD UNDERGRADUATES. INEVITABLY LEAD TO REACTION. Mr. GBr'Shaw had a rousing reception at Oxford last night, when be addressed a crowded meeting of undergraduates at the October Club.

I must first apologise for my age," ha said, I have always contended that one of the most necessary things in Oxford was an age limit. I think I should put It at twenty-three. I myself should have no business here, as I am seventy-six. If it were not that I have one advantage over you young men, which is the advantage of experience. But I am not coming the ex perience siunt on you teugnn Capitalist society a man's' experience is likely to be a thing he is Worse ror-.

it la sure to have been a melancholy and Intimidat ing one. ine wnoie aim oi oifl man ll to perpetuate tradition, and It is largely tradition that has landed this tb position it is in to-day. You may disregard my. experience in every way except one. Like' you, I have been associated with young revolutionaries, and I have been a revolutionist myself.

You have had that experience. That is the meaning oi this ciub. My advantage. however. Is that I have seen revolutionists become middle aged, and then old men.

Among my old' revolutionary friends Is Mr. Ramsay MacDonald. My recollection of Mr. Ramsay MacDonald is a fire-loving revolutionary Socialist. You may ask me.

are you tattlmt of the gentleman I beard on Empire Day who did not seem to have an idea is his head which be might not have had in the seventeenth century? I am facing it, but I am talking to young and ardent revolutionists. A certain pro portion of. you will be living in the year 1980, but many ol you will not be revolutionists then. Some of you will not even be revolutionists In T94CT. "With tJie exception-of Capitalism, there is nothing so revolting as revolution.

(Laughter.) Unless you are well prepared for revolution and know what the change means a certain amount of wreckage and the throwing away of old ideas the effect of revolution Is to make many revolutionists reactionary. Where in this country revolution la overground, in Russia it was underground. Nobody believes in revolution here, but when It comes it will surprise everybody. When it comes, many in this country will not know a revolution has taken place. Revolutionary movements are a revolt against cruelty, but when the revolt comes and people find that the mlUenlum ex pected has not come about, they cannot stand it and become reactionary.

Revolt means the end of liberty. The thing you are up stgalnst is the everyday saying, I cannot stand for the abolition of liberty "All we in this country conceive to be democratic ideas have gone in Russia. No single breath of tyranny as we know it is missing in Russia. It is carried Into effect on a gigantic scale. That is why, when revolution comes, people become They are unable to change from negative to positive government When the revolution does come, many of you will be disgusted at the horror of the new government." While Mr.

Shaw was speaking a man was seen through a window at the rear, crawling over the roofs until he reached a wan behind which he crouched. The police were Informed and they made a search of the roofs, but by this time the man had disappeared. Extra police were on duty outside the ball where the meeting was held and the credentials of visitors were closely scrutin ised. UJS. AND THE CONFERENCE ON CHINA.

The Prince of Wales yesterday sent a message of good cheer to the members and staffs of tile Houses of Parliament, who were prevented by the weather from playing their annual cricket match at the Oval, of which ground the Prince is landlord. Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin attended the luncheon to the players and the staffs at the Oval pavilion, and the Prince, in his telegram, said that the staffs were having a well-deserved holiday." He added, I am only sorry they have not got a finer day." Mr. Baldwin, proposing the health of the staffs, said: Many questions puzzle me in the House or Commons, and this is the gathering in which to have some of them solved.

One thing I want to know Is how and where the DOllce nractise the cry of Division Surelv no man can cive that cry with such consummate artistry without first having practised it. Does a man practise that cry at home In the kitchen, and. if be does, what does his wife savf Still more remarkable Is the cry of that gallant fellow who comes up the floor of the House, of commons and announces Black Rod. It is a work of art. Above all, I want to know how does Mr.

Murrell (the Speaker's train-bearer) keep his stockings up so tight? When I have to wear full dress Privy Council uni form that is the greatest trouble I have. I have none of the complicated machinery some people seem to use for that purpose. And what haoDens to the Sneaker's witt at night? I want to know whether he sleeps in It or what happens to ltT Coupling with the toast the name of Mr. A. E.

Silver, doorkeeper of the House of Lords, Mr. Baldwin said: I don stunk have troubled him much, and I see very little likelihood of my troubling him In the near future. 1 have no doubt he is as sur prised to see some people pass blm at the door as St. Peter will be to see some people pass mm at anotner gate. Mr.

stiver, replying, said: Let me tell Mr. Baldwin of an incident, which lie may not rememoer. at tne floor oi the Houw of Lords. Very soon after I was appointed to tne stan, wnen i was tne Tally-ho with the red coat, at my first State opening of Parliament, I was at the door with very stringent instructions as to who should come in and wno should not. Of course, there are members who try the 1 old but do not always manage it Well, a gentleman and a lady came up.

There was something the matter with his uniform. He was looking down, and I said, Excuse me, are you a Member? He replied, 'No, I am only the Prime Mr. Baldwin, greatly appreciating the story, nodded bis bead in recollection. Mr. Murrell vouchsafed the information that the Speaker's wig Is put away very carefully in a tin box and locked up safely every night.

Five people were found shot dead at a villa in Hills-avenue, Cambridge, yesterday afternoon. They are Mr. H. C. Tebbutt, (forty-seven), his wife, Michael Tebbutt (four), Dickie Tebbutt (twelve months), and Betty Williams aged eleven).

A revolver was found in the hall near ttie bodies of the man and woman. Mr. Tebbutt was a retired brewer and formerly a well-known cricketer. He was divorced in December, ISK'J, Mrs. Helen Margaret Williams, whom lie afterwards married, being cited as co-respondent.

He was at his club yesterday morning, and members who saw him said he was cheerful and that he talked brightly about the affairs of the club. A Cambridge man, who worked with Mr. Tebbutt at the brewery, said that he was a man of violent temper and erratic temperament. Between the bouts of temper," he said. he was a very likeable man and a good companion.

He fitted in well with club life, and made friends everywhere, hut on some occasions he would flare up suddenly without provocation. One of his peculiarities was that he always carried an automatic pistol in his hip pocket, and I have often seen him draw It in the office and flourish it in front of his colleagues." The house, known as Meads End, is a large villa in Its own grounds and is concealed from the road by a high hedge. A shot was heard by Mrs. W. A.

3. Parsons, who lives next door. As Mr. Tebbutt often used to shoot birds she took no notice, and it was not until a maid came rushing out that she realised that a tragedy had occurred. Mr.

Tebbutt was educated at Leys School, Cambridge, and was formerly a member of the firm of Bayley and Tebbutt. brewers, but 6eveired his connection with the business when It was taken over by Messrs. Green. King and Co. He was a good all-round cricketer, and captained Cambridgeshire for some sea sons.

He also regularly rented some rough shooting in the county. The family were contemplating week-end visit to Gorlps-ton-on-Sea. where Mr. Tebbutt had a bungalow. LONDON RTFLE BRIGADE SPORTS.

A CHASTENED NATION. Sir Thomas Inskip, the Attorney-General, in a speech yesterday at Northwlck, Middlesex, at a Conservative demonstration, referred to the Ottawa Conference, and said that there was a bright prospect before them. They had passed through dark days, but they had already cleared a path, through the worst part of the Jungle and only a traitor to his past could doubt the future. They would remember the dramatic events of last autumn. They could now afford to breathe quietly, because tney raced facts then.

The spending-other-people's-money types of politician was pulled up with a short turn. Some thought the nation too much debauched by extravagance to stand up to severe economics, but there had been a triumph for the inbred public spirit of the average citizen. The nation had been able to make a great change in its fiscal system, which had led to new factories, and corrected in part the adverse balance of trade. They were learning, as a nation, the im-portace of financial stability. It was a victory once more for the British capacity for self-government.

They were suffering a chastening experience, but it would yield a rich harvest if they did not wilt under it. THE NORMAN LOCKYER OBSERVATORY. DR, ROBERT MOND'S GIFT OF NEW APPARATUS. Sir Frank Dyson, the Astronomer Royal, opened the Mond dome at the Norman Lockyer Observatory, Sidmouth, Devonshire, yesterday.

Mond remarked that It wba more economical to point a telescope at mo omi tiiiu niju out wnat their heat wae doing to the electron and atom than to provide such elaborate apparatus as was being used at Cambridge.

In five years' time Rome, by order of Slgnor Mussolini, is to become a marvel of all the people of the world." It is to be rebuilt. The first draft of the new plan has Just been published. Mussolini gave the architects six month3 to prepare It. They had ready within the scheduled time. The instructions given by Mussolini himself were In five years' time Rome must become a marvel to all the people of the world, great, ordered, and powerful, as In the days of the first Empire of Augustus.

You will continue to lop off the trunk of the great oak everything that still hides it; you will Isolate the Capitol and the I'antheon. Everything that grew during decadent centuries must disappear. Within five years, from the Piazza Colonna, the dome of the Pantheon must become visible through a wide avenue. You must also free the majestic temples of Christian Home from profane and parasitic buildings. Therefore the third Rome will spread out over other hills along the banks ot the sacred Tiber as far as the shores of the Tyrrehenian Sea." The scheme is to toe carried out In record time, and the Rome planned by Mussolini will soon become an accomplished fact.
