October 31, 1896. THE niDvmmjt 3 Comer, THE HARROW DIVISION RECORDER. SATUBDAY, OCTOBEE 31, 1896. FBOM the quarterly reports of the inspectors uncfer the Food and Drugs Act see that the central district of Middlesex, which is under the care of Mr Inspector "Watts, of Harlesden, stands well. Out of a total of 160 samples taken during the quarter, there were but 8 inferior and 8 adulterated.

The majority of the samples were milk, these, numbering 100, out of which 7 were pronounced inferior and 7 adulterated. Butter came out there being but one in each section out of 27 samples. There was a clean bill the other samples analysed, namely: coffee il, cheese 6, lard and skim milk 4 each, pepper 3, and one each of- chocolate powder, cocoa, margarine, and separated milk. These figures compare favourably with the other districts of the county, as in the eastern out of 133 samples there were 6 inferior and 21 adulterated, and in the western district, out of 139 samples, 5 were inferior and 18 adulterated. During the quarter under notice Mr.

Watts prosecuted in twelve cases, and obtained convictions in all, though the amount of adulteration must have been slight, as the total fines only amounted to 17s. 8d. THE second half-yearly county rate in Middlesex is to be thus bringing up the year's rate to 7d. in the. £.

This is increase upon last year, and is the County Council's highest rate. When we look closely into the matter, however, we find that the case is not so bad as it seems to be at first sight. The increase is attributable to the fact that the sum of £5,000 was included in the revised estimate for contributions to footpaths, while nothing on that account was included in the April budget. So that what the ratepayers have to pay extra to the County Council they should save in the district general rate. IN view of the coming into force of the Agricultural Bates Act, sections of which we reprinted entire in the issue of September Middlesex County Council have delegated to the County Bate Basis Committee their powers in connection with the division of the basis for the purposes of the Act, and the Begulations of the Local Government Board.

The existing basis has to be divided, so as to show, as regards each parish in the county, the rateable value of agricultural land and. that of buildings and other hereditaments. The total basis for the county, or the amount of the basis for each parish, will not be altered. CORRESPONDENCE. THE COTTAGE HOSPITAL AND MEDICAL.

MEN. To the Editor of THE MIDDLESEX COURIER. a number of others I have patiently to see if the Council of "the Cottage Hospital would re-consider its hasty decision concerning the memorial presented a month ago. As there are no signs of a change of opinion, I have given notice that at the annual meeting I shall move an addition to Rule to the 'effect that any legally qualified and registered medical practitioner resident in the parish, may attend the cases he -sends in if he so desire. My reasons for raising this question in so public a manner are three I contend that any memorial which is influentially signed and presented to a public body should not be cast aside after a hasty and perfunctory consideration, but at least merits the appointment of a sub-committee to consider it.

2. The contention of the memorialists is unquestionably just in theory. No one can deny that the fairest possible arrangement is that every medical practitioner of good standing in the parish should have equal rights as regards the hospital. If the plea of the memorialists was theoretically a just care and time should have been taken to see if their desire could not be practically carried out. 3.

There are instances where a large number of practitioners in a district are permitted so to use the Cottage Hospital. In Red Hill and Reigate Cottage Hospital, I believe that any one of the 31 practitioners within the area served-by the hospital may attend a case within it. I beg leave to suggest to the subscribers that the hasty action of their Council requires their attention, and urge them to be present at the Annual Meeting, that this important question, affecting both the justice and the usefulness of the administration of this admirable institution may be thoroughly considered. I am, yours faithfully, R. C.

Clarence soon took advantage and after a scrimmage succeeded in scoring.

At this point the Rovers custodian (Storton) entered the field. At the interval Clarencerwere-still leading by 1 goal to nil. In the -second half the Rovers played a good game, having the hill in their favour, and had very hard luck in not scoring.

Queen's Park Bangers v. 1st Scots teams met on Saturday at West Kilburn before 2,500 Spectators, and one'of the finestgames ever seen occurred. This was the first round of-the Middlesex Senior was rather unfortunate that the Rangers should succumb to their soldier visitors in the early stages of the competition. They were beaten by 3 goals to 1, but not disgraced. The better team but it was pleasing to note that the Rangers played a different better that of a week ago.

The team was nearly the s.ame, excepting that Galley took the place of "Teagle," and Davies was in his old place, and Musselwhite went back to-Sterling's. The opening was; capital, and Ward did some good work against the while Mc Kenzie did wonders with all parts of his body. The play was very even until two fast shots in quick succession beat Hunt, and the hopes of the homesters went down to zero; The soldiers were playing a fast game and their defence well- nigh impregnable, and when it was broken the centre forward Carr was. at fault. Just-before the whistle blew for half-time Hunt received, a terrific blow in the: face and the game was delayed a' With the-tnm with 2 goals to face, and.the wind, in tlieir off the deficit.

Right weflj they, played and bombarded the soldiers' citadel. Time after time but for the extraordinary points would have been notched. At last an opening was found and the ball went in amid cheers. Two to not so bad, and things looked bright, though the rain came down. The Guards, however, retaliated in brilliant fashion, and again beat Hunt.

Notwithstanding the pressing of the Rangers no further point notched, the homesters thus losing by 3 goal's to one. MetropoHtan Bailway v. St. Mary's College; This West London League fixture; was played on Saturday at the White Hart" enclosure before 400 spectators, in weather altogether adverse to good football. The game had not been in progress more than ten minutes when a heavy deluge rendered the.

already sodden, very neavy indeed, on avhich it was most difficult to secure a foothold." The home captain won the toss and decided to play, up the ground, and in. the teeth of a strong wind. Gore kicked off for the visitors who shaped indifferently at the start, the homesters several times working the ball close in, and Hodson cleared twice with difficulty. A splendid run-by A. Shooter," whom the Mets." were trying at inside left, resulted in J.

Jones getting right in front; but his ultimate shot lacked the -customary sting, and Perry saved. Several breaks- away by the Saints found the home halves very troublesome, and Cash was a decided thorn in Gaynbrd's side, Humphreys and Captain Pearce were several times effective breaking up the visitors' combination, though George found a tough customer in Houston, the centre-half. A protracted visit to Gillett resulted in several comers being forced, but nothing occurred, though the defence at times was severely-taxed. After half-an-hour's play the homesters again' began to force matters, Pearce and Humphreys both trying a long shot. It was destined for Woof to bring about the downfall of the visitor's goal, however, and he did so from a nice pass by J.

E. Jones. The Met," forwards now did some smart things, Woof and Jones repeatedly The teams changed over with the score unaltered, and it-was thought that with the slope me reds would walk through the defence. As a matter of fact, however, St. Mary's had more of the game if anything in this half, and Gillett had occasion to show his brilliant goal-keeping.

The concluding portion of the game was fought out almost solely in home quarters, but the Saints could'never break through and the game ended in a victory of one goal to nil for the boys in red." Harrow Athletic v. teams met on the ground of the former at Greeh- Mll on Saturday last, before about 600 spectators. The team, which was not at its full Strength, lost the toss and kicked off against' the wind and a heavy rain storm. A corner early accrued to each team, but neither was converted, and on two occasions Page narrowly missed scoring. A further comer to the visitors was also abortive, and Stableford just now had all his work cut out to clear, while a fewjnin'utes later Payne beat him with a swift shot.

After some even play the homesters attacked Page shooting by, and still keeping up the pressure, a corner fell to them which was well placed, but hands brought relief to the visitors. Knight, Hughes, and Kavanagh made a good passing run, the latter causing the visiting goal-keener save. Bromley now took up the attack and three goal kicks hf succession was the result, subsequent to which the Harrow fortress was again lowered by Osborne. Stableford immediately had to, give a corner to clear, after which Kavanagh and Knight got away and the homesters had hard lines in not scoring. The Athletics now pressed considerably, but could not break through until Kavanagh got away and passed across to right wing, who in turn centred, but the opportunity was lost; immediately after, however, Dick Hughes put on a goal for the home team, in which state game remained at half-time.

Playing with the wind the home team immediately assumed the offensive and caused some trouble to the visitors' defence, and then Stableford was again called upon to save bis charge. In this half the Athletics had certainly the greater share of the play, but could not manage to score, their shooting being erratic, although allowances must be, made for. the slippery state of the ball. Just before time the visitors again beat Stableford, but the offside rule.had been broken, and Bromley were consequently left with a hardly-earned victory of- 2 goals to 1. A little luck would have given the Athletics the game, and they lost the match, not through the general superiority of the visitors, but through their inability to shoot goals when good openings presented Middlesex Football meeting of the Emergency and Selection Conj; mittee of the above Association was Tuesday evening at 61, Chancery Lane, Mr: E.

to the finish the issue Was in doubt, and a draw would have correctly presented the What little luck, however, there was fell to the visitors, and they just got home by 3 goals to 2. The Mapleleaf had in the first half to play against a hurricane, with rain and hail beating in their faces. The Nortonians were on the aggressive at the start and kept Wood and the brothers Dinistone very busy. The first goal fell to the visitors from a free kick, but the home team promptly equalised amidst enthusiastic cheers. Again the visitors scored from a free lack and yet a third goal fell to their share.

This was a very soft thing, Wood evidently thinking the ball was going outside the posts. It must not he supposed that the home team were idle in the meantime. The forwards made several desperate attacks and a little morci judgment in front of goal would have materially altered the game. As it was, however, they only missed by inches on more than one occasion: At half-time the score was 3 to 1. The home team then played up and gave the visitors' defence no The game was full of excitement, and the ball was urged from end to end with great at last a combined attack resulted in Mellins scoring a second goal for the home team, buithey could not score again.

Just at the last minute it seemed as though the visitors' citadel must fall, but it was not to be, and a splendid game ended as above. Wembley v. Barrow at Harrow, on Saturday -and after, a very uninterest i ing game the visitors retired victorious by 5 goals to ml. Harrow did riot place a very good team into the -field, but as their opponents were disappointed by three of their first team, and throughout played ten men only, matters were fairly evenly balanced. A heavy shower delayed the commencement, and made the ground in a very slippery state.

The first part of the play went in favour of the homesters, but they seemed totally unable to send in a good shot, this being accounted for by the heavy state of the ball. Towards the latter portion of this half, however, Wembley were the aggressors, but at half time neither side had scored. Play was immediately proceeded with, and it was then that the Wembleyites began to get dangerous. Swinnerton obtained the first point aftera good run, and not long afterwards Godfrey did likewise, thus giving the' visitors a lefed of two points. Langley, Godfrey, and Swinnerton each T-iaded one more, and at the call of time the ites had totalled up five to Harrow's nil.

The Saints, goalkeeper failed to.put in an appearance, but substitute was found on ground, who performed veiy creditably. The Saints, having lost the toss, kicked off downhill, and were soon attacking their opponents' goal, a good centre from W.

Harrowell enabling Howard to score. Clarendon, seemed to wake up a bit at this, but could not break through the fine defence of the visitors, Crane ahd H. Downing clearing splendidly. C. Martin then tried a long shot at goal which "came off," thus putting his side two goals ahead.
