CHITABOB'S NOTES.

THUBSDAY NIGHT. As promised in last week's Calendar the weights for the Oesarewitch and the Cambridgeshire were published in the official broad sheet of this afternoon. From a very lrasty glance tho work of the handicapper appears to be fairly well done, but any comments had best be reserved until the acceptances are published, which will be in a special edition of the Calendar on Wednesday next, i- Derby Meeting passed through its second stage this afternoon, and the conditions were again of the most delightful character. The sport was of high class, and tbe meeting of Merry Gal and Forfarehire in the Champion Breeders' Foal Plate was regarded as. the great event of the afternoon.

At yesterday's meeting of the Darlington lown Council the General Purposes Committee reported that they approved of the proposal to put down a water gas plant for the production of not exceeding 600,000 cubic feet of carbureted water gas per 34 hours, and authorised the Gas Committee to eruter into a oontract for the erection of the same upon such terms as they might dem best, Aid. Harding moved an amendment to the proposal, and was proceeding to speak upon it when Aid. Barron remarked that they had heard all his arguments the previous day at the General Purposes Committee. Councillor Harbottl-e: It is an abominable interruption.

Aid. Barron said he did not want to do anything abominable. He only appealed to Aid. Harding whether his bringing up of the question again would serve any good purpose. Aid.

Harding said his excuse waa that the subject was o-nie of great interest to the people of Darlington, and a subject which might in the future be the cause of considerable danger to th health and lives of the public. He contested the idea that the supply of the town was in immediate danger, and contended that there was ample time for the erection of a gasholder. He held that the introduction of carbureted water gas not only increased the quantity of carbonic acid in the gas more than double, but it increased tlie danger in like proportion, and quoted from the Government Committee's finding upon the subject. The danger was shown, he added, bv the fact that the committee recommended thai only a certain proportion should be mixed with the ordinary gas, and that notice should be given to the public when the new gas was introduced, and that gas pipes and fittings should have special attention. He disclaimed all responsibility for the introduction in any shape or form of such a poisonous gas, and urged it would have been more economical to have gone in for a new gasholder.

Councillor Meek seconded the amendment, but said he merely did 90 for the purnose of saying lie had changed his view uponi the subject, and thought the Gas Committee were right in going in for the carbureted water gas nlant. It would also enable the Chairman to reply to Aid. Harding's speech. Undoubtedly there was danger in the gas, but he was satisfied now that they were fully alive to it, tbeywould take precautions that would prevent it from becoming a practical danger. Councillor Harbottte said when they took the amount of water gas which would be put into the ordinary gas the danger must be brought down to a minimum, and he must vote for the proposal.

Aid. Barron replied at length, and said the public could rely upon it tbat they were alive to what danger existed, and they would use the greatest possible vigilance to see that they were CROOK VOLUNTEER BAZAAR. OPENING BY SIR DAVID DALE. SPEECH ON THE VOLUNTEER SYSTEM. The second day's proceedings of the baawir held in tbe Crook Board Schools in of the Company (Crook and Villiugton), were opened yesterday by Sir Dale.

There was again a good tendance. Sir David Dale was supported the platform by Major Badcock, Capt. Vilkinson. Miss -Wilkinson, Capt. K.

iVAroy Hildyord (Adjutant of the battalion), Mrs Anderson, Mr and Mrs Jreener, and Lieat. and Mrs Earasay. Amongst those present were the Kev. A. Mr J.

Fryar, MrW. Powell. Dr. Stevens (West AiicVland). Capt.

Wilkinson briefly announced that le had received a letter from Lady Dale, vhich he read, the purport of which was hat Lady Dale wbb Buffering from an ilcerated throat, and doubted her inability '0 bo present. She had offered them Sir Dale. (Applause). Next to Lady they could not have been more ononred. (Applause).

Capt. Wilkinson Men announced that he bad received a 1 mi i of 5 from Colonel Wood, who as i'i Scotland. Major Badcock briefly introduced bir iiavid, and said they all regretted the which kept Lady Dale away. Sir David Dale in the course of his re-iBiks said tbat Lady Dale's absence was by a weakuess which exhibited itself in an ulctrated throat. In that ostein of substitutes for military service here was no close inquiry, and so lhat day, aujone else, they would have to iccept him as the best substitute available, leferring to MILITARY MATTERS, ir David said that he had not made any tudy of the defensive forces of this country, whiM he lid not claim to have an xpert knowledge of the volunteer system jf this country, there were one or two which did not require any protound ear-arch.

There were two questions they nioht ask themselves. Did the volunteer -er'vice of this country contribute to the atiou's stability, and what influence the movement upon the individual volunteer In England he thought COMPTTLSOEY SERVICE would run counter to public sentiment and the reasonable freedom which they herished iu this country, aB well as for the raining of young men in the various de-. artments in this life. In his visits to Germany, and especially in his visits to the iirm of Krupp, he had inquired as to the fleets of compulsory military system in ra-ard to artisans and industrial workers, ihere were different opinions expressed on he subject, Some were in favour, whilst ithors felt that to withdraw oyonng man he was beginning to learn hi3 business would very seriously impair his ultimate 5fficiency. Proceeding, Sir David said that regular army did not draw into its ranks a sufficient number of men to irovide for all the emergencies in tbe bolonies and our various interests abroad.

THURSDAY, September 6. The second instalment of the Derby pro-immmfi was run throuch under most roseate conditions, and a more delightful day will not be this mnnth.

for the sun shone forth radiantly, and pleasant breezes blew across the I course, matters being most cnjojable. The at tendance was agaiu a auuu uiie im iwuu-able company were gathered together on the club stand. Needless to say sport was full of interest, and both the Devonshire Xursery and the Sixth Champion Breeders' Foal Stakes proved attractive features. The meeting of Merry Gal, conqueror of Diamond Jubilee and Forfarshire, in tho last-named event was not such an important affair as would have been under a eloud from finishing up last year apparently the best two year old ot the season. Ho met witli an accident in the Derby, which he had never fairiy recovered from, and Ids trainer had experienced the greatest trowbia with the slashing Bon of Royal Hampton.

On tho other hand Merry Gal had come on tlie right way since Goodwood, and with the greatest confidence reposed in her she -as always an 'edds on chance, Aa was generally expeoted, Forfarshire never looked dangerous, and for the most fthe journey it was a match between Merry Gel and Sweet Briar filly. But with the tatter just a trifle outclassed she suffered defeat by a length. All the same the performance of llerry Gal was good' one, and regrets mast now be greater than ever tbat La Roche, who beat her ao easily in the Oaks, is not engaged in tlie St. Leger. The Devonshire Nursery produced some spirited wagering, but the form of Marriage Lines at Manchester thoroughly justified her position of favourite.

She was pressed very closely by the Stockton winner, Mount Lyell, who went down to the post in a most taking style he gave a very different exhibition than Mr Miller's filly, who was beaten a long way from home. It was then a most desperate tussle between Isthmus and Mount Lyell, but with the former displaying the utmost gameness, after being apparently beaten, she got home by a neck. Of the other events it was a bit of a surprise to eee Yap winning tlie Harrington Plate after his moderate display at Hurst Park, Windsor, and Sundown, and it is probable that the stable profited little by his victory, which was rather luckily obtained, as Exedo swerved badly inside the distance.

Kq fnnilpH fnr trip next three years available to the boy who is second on tne nsr an cue ewiuilhuiwu mi it Venables scholarship. He said there were funds in the bank doing no'hing, and they might be utilised in the way suggested. In reply to a question tte Clerk informed the meeting that the balance was 127.

Mr Charlton, continuing, said the money waa lett ior tne euuuninuu ui vu brough. There was a gocd grammar echool fnn.n anA t.hn nnnilfl who attended 111 mo uu, i do very well, and there was room for other boys in tne scnooi in auuuiuu wi i.uu.s uu.yo at present attending. The exnmination for the Venalles exhibition would be held on Saturday next. Mr Cotterill asked the probable cost of the scholarship, and was informed it would be about 15 per annum. Mr John Norman seconded the proposition, and in doing so asked if the balance of tie money could not he devoted to anything else? Mr Charlton tbous-ht when they had a good grammar annum mej ought to favour the boys of the town.

Mr Charlton was of opinion ir a ecuum icenn-tion ground were to be provided the ex-peniies should be met out of the ordinary school funds. Mr Norman did not think 4-0 should be spent on one boy if it could be used to the advantago of a greater number of boys.

The proposition was carried. It was agreed tbat arrangements be made for a series of lectures on horticulture and poultry keeping, to be given by Professor Beaton, of the Yorkshire College of Science. The school warden, Mr J. A.

But vuw the volunteer went to his own company, not from a sense of amusement, but from a -ense of duty.

Sir ilavid theu referred to the Jingo spirit. The man who sacrificed time for his country, md took the burden on himself, was less iikely to evince this spirit than the man who imply read his paper. There was a tendency in our periodicals and Press to encourage a TOO JINGO SPIRIT, Bore especially to make us believe that our and our war appliances generally not be surpassed. This had the effect uf bringing reproaches from the foreign Press, whilst it taught us to think that our armaments could not be improved. After a rather amusing reference to a recently made alphabet for patriots, Sir David ooncluded by saying that they could gather from what he had said that he looked with favour on ihe Company of the Durham Light Infantry.

He hoped that the same liberal response which was manifested the previous Jay would be continued that day and throughout the proceedings. He then declared the bazaar open. (Applause). Mr T. Y.

Greener (West Lodge, Crook) proposed a vote of thanks to Sir David Dale, and remarked that perhaps ho (ireener) was more aware of the real sacn-ioe of time that Sir David Dale had made in coming there that afternoon than most of those present (Applause.) Captain Hildyard seconded, and the opening proceedings then terminated. During the evening there was again a large attendance, when a number of enter-iiunments were given.

Sir, The defence of tbe Youthful Offenders' Bill which is made in a section of the Press proceeds on entirely opposite principles from those on whioh tbat Mieasufe has been advocated in Parliament find clsewhera.

Will, for example, the B. Waugh and the other members of the Connoil of the N.S.P.O.C. come forward and say that they desire the substitution of birching for imprisonment because I he latter is not severe enough? It is on grounds of humanity that the bill has been hiofly recommended the. pnhlic humanity towards the youthful offender. VVhen we had Mr Wharton's Whipping Bill before the House, the provisions of Ahioh extended to adults, the argument was lornewhat different.

Humanity towards ihe injured, not humanity towards the offender, was what was then relied on. And 1 think if your readers will take the trouble of comparing the variouB grounds relied nn by the supporters of the two measures they will come to the conclusion that there is very little amona the whippers and that vin-dictiveness is in fact much more prominent. If our prisons are too lenient, why not make them more severe If they are too severe, why not relax the stringency- of tho rales If they are places of contamination (not of reformation), why not introduce the requisite reforms into our prison system Bear mind that even if the Youthful Offenders' Bill became law, the substifcuticn of whipping for imprisonment would be discretionary with the magistrates, and the Bill did not'repeal previous enactments under which the two punishments could be oom-biucd. Whipping is simple, no doubt. 'J he lubslStution would save the officials trouble.

If Ihe Bill became law it would afford an fV, nfl nrwnn reforms and if complaints were made of the ill effects of imprisonment ou oojs, tine answer wuuiu Why did not the magistrates sentence them to be birched Yours faithfully, JOSBPH COLL1NSON, (Hon. Sec. Humanitarian League). TVolsingham, Sept. 7th, 1900.

Walker moved that the resolution come to at the July meeting with regard to the drainage of Redoar be racinded. It will be remembered that the matter was to have come up last month, but was adjourned at the suggestion of the Olerk.

said in moving this resolution he was animated by no spirit of personal feeling. He did it because after careful consideration he waa of opinion that it would benefit th Council and the town, and that it would be in the interests of local government, In the first place, he thought the procedure was too hurried, and was carried from committee to Council before having received the consideration it deserved. The members tratside the committee should have seen the plans, and they had not the opportunity to do so. 'the matter had been carried out nccoush-tutionally. The usual way was to pass any recommendation, for work to be done to the Works Committee, and that should have been done in tho pre-nt inotonm.

hut was not. Another reason was that it. was improper io carry out an expensice sohem. isuch the one under discussion, when all the representatives ot the ward in wnicn it was proposed to cany out the work it was proposed to carry out me ivum were against it. They were not averse to the scheme, but they said the time was not opportune.

His view was that the drainage of th towni was not perfect, and that it was no better in one part than another. The proper way was to consider the whole question, and call in expert advice. Iu a large scheme like that it was proper to have a majority, which there was not iu this case. Mr Spence seconded. Mr Phillipson denied that the ease had been hurried.

The matter was before the Council 12 months ago, and in loOfi the surveyor reported to the old Kirkleatham Council that after storms certain cellars were always flooded, proving that the existing sc-wers were insufficient, and that the provision of others would have to be faced. In October last a committee of three, two of the members of which represented oatham, instructed the surveyor to formulate a scheme for sewage. Tlie matter droned until February, when it was moved that the surveyor prepare plans and estimates. The question! was: was the scheme necessary or not, and not a single member 'had denied its necessity. Tlie cause of the change of front from the attitude previously quoted was that notioe of motion was sriven to have a separate assessment area.

A U- Phillinsnm sat down Mr Fall was found to be ill, and had to be taken home. The members were of opinion that every member should have an opportunity of recording his vote, and the matter was again adjourned for a month. H'VRVEST RESULTS IN YORKSHIRE. Wheat is far from being up to anticipations in the Malton district, and wherever the thrashing machine has been employed the result is declared unsatisfactory. So far the eron has been well got, and except on the extreme moor edge there is now but little corn out.

Wheat yield is not only proving deficient but in many cases the samale is not good, having apparently ripened too hastily, with resultant 'half filled grain. Barley looks well, aad some fair samples have been thrashed out. good in. kernel and colour, and the grain was housed in dry weather. The farmers have not a good word for the oat crop.
