GOLF. THE LADIES' CHAMPIONSHIP. Ireland has secured the first triple crown in the ladies' golfing world, a series of splendid victories over England, Wales, and finally Scotland giving the Emerald Isle this distinctive honour as well as possession of the Miller International Shield. International matches have been associated with the ladies' championship for some years, but owing to the weak Scottish representation in the earlier engagements the matches, prior to Cromer, were not regarded as of much value. But at Cromer the three nations were all well represented and again at Burnham last year the teams were indicative of the golfing strength of the countries.

This year an additional ring of interest was afforded the matches by the entry for the first time of Wales. With the four nations therefore competing the opportunity was afforded of achieving a triple triumph such aa that associated with the great football encounters. Wales unfortunately has provided weak opposition in this first venture and in each encounter suffered a heavy reverse. On Saturday the weather was very bad. The programme was Ireland against Scotland and England against Wales.

In the latter the English players scored a solid success, but in the Scottish-Irish match there was some very interesting play. The closest match was between Mrs. Durlacher and Dr. Mary Thompson, who did not finish till the twenty-first hole. The various results produced nothing unexpected.

To-day's programme consists of an eighteen holes stroke competition, for which all the competitors in the championship have entered. The results of the day's play were: Ireland. Scotland.

THE JUBILEE HANDICAP, WIDEAWAKE'S NOTES. There are no classic races to be decided during the present week, and it cannot be said that there is too much sport to be got through from to-day to Saturday next.

What there is of it, however, is really high-class quality, and commencing with three days at Chester, two at Ripon, and concluding with two days at Kempton, I am of the opinion that sportsmen will have placed before them one of the beet, week's sport it is. possible to get this year. Of course there are also three meetings under National Hunt rules at Folkestone, Doncaster, and Shincliffe, but these can only receive passing attention in face of the more popular fixtures at Chester and Kempton. In recent years, the progress of time was thought to be telling against the annual fixture at Chester, and the number of times the subscription for the Cup failed to fill at the first attempt appeared to be bearing out this view. But, as in other time works wonders in sport, and instead of the fixture drooping, it ia holding up its head higher than ever.

In the course of the three days nineteen races will be run, not one of which is of less value than two hundred pounds, while well over eight thousmd pounds added money will be given, surely proof enough of the excellence of the programmes, which are very full and exceptionally classy. Of course the event of the meeting is the race for the Cup, and after what has happened in connection with this event in the past it came as a startler to most sportsmen to find no fewer than eighty-seven names entered at the first time. An additional attraction has been provided in the shape of a new race, the Chester Vase, which is a beautiful piece of plate valued at one hundred pounds, with the substantial sum of two thousand pounds in specie to accompany it. This race will be run to-morrow, the Cup day is Wednesday, and on Thursday the Great Cheshire Stakes and Dee Stakes are the features to conclude with, so that the management having done their share for the benefit of the public, only require the sun to shine, owners and trainers to send their horses to the post, and the support of all lovers of equine stock for the meeting to be one of the most successful ever held on the Roodee. The Race for the Cup, Backers have more than once had it borne to their minds that it.

is not wise to rush a horse into the position of favourite too and those who have been the means of placing Turbine at the head of the quotations look like regretting it, the colt having sustained an injury which may keep him in the stable. The contest shows' every promise of being a most interesting one, and if we must take notice cf the latest move, there is every probability that the trophy will go to France with the "aid of Querido, who is very much expected to win on the other side of the channel, and will start a warm favourite. Two genuine candidates in Feather Bed and Torpoint must, however, be kept in mind. They finished first and second last year, and both nave been prepared with a view to equalling that performance, though Taylor is in hopes of turning the tables. One of the most improved horses in training is Bridge ci Canny, and though a fourteen pound penalty places him at the head of the handicap he is one that cannot be overlooked.

For the winner I shall make a choice between Feather Bed, Torpoint, Querido, and Bridge of Canny, the final selection being made on the eve of the race. The 11 Jubilee Handicap. The entries for this great race include some of the finest horses we have in training, but the sole question to be educidated is whether there is anything in the probable competitors that can beat Polar Star. Mr. Hall Walker is one of the most fortunate men on the turf, but he made a mistake when he did not enter Polar Star for the classic races.

Of course he did not know he had such an equine celebrity in his stable, but though debarred from carrying off the "triple crown," which there is reason to believe he would have done, Polar Star will make his presence felt in another way. He has yet to meet his conqueror, and though there are Polymelus. Velocity, Dalkeith, and others in the field. I look on it as sheer folly to trust anything to beat Polar Star. Velocity is, to my mind, the only possible danger, but, great horse as he is, he can run for the two hundred pounds which goes to the second.

LA LI A' LOSES AN APPRENTICE From Our Special Correspondent. Saturday. After the meagre attendances seen in the rings at Newmarket, it was pleasant to find so much animation in those attached to Lingfield racecourse, clearly showing how popular the place is. The weather was of a delightful character, though the wind was very cold. It was indeed a of the mighty having fallen to see Lally fail to get even a place in a mile straight race.

Granted it- was for apprentices, one naturally thought a horse that started favourite for last year's Derby would run away with euch a race, but the stake went to Bell Flower, who only ran once previously this season when finishing third to Sheffield and Flower Bed in a similar kind of event. The lot contesting the Sackville Selling Handicap were very moderate, the one most inquired after being who was also backed to win at Newbury. The victor, however, proved to be Katharine, the property of Mr. G. H.

Freeman, and it indeed pleasant to see this fine sportsman at last win a race, seeing the tremendous sums nf money he has spent in trying to get good hoises. When Bernard Dillon got into the to pass for Bill of the Play it was noticeable that his neck on the left hand side was very, badly bruised. This was due to the webbing catching him when Chesnut Sunday followed Jubilee through the tapes in the breakaway for the One Thousand Guineas. The experience of the blinding hood was tried on Bill of the Play, and this proved efficacious so far as starting was concerned, but he would not race half way, and Fire Clay won for Mr! Charles Hibbert at the nice price of 103 to 8. LINGFIELD MEETING.

to a very succession conclusion on Saturday last. The was decided in Cheshire, the roads being in perfect condition after the heavy rains of the previous days. A strong westerly wind, though assisting in improving the state of the roads, had the very opposite effect on the riders, and made a call on the stamina of most or tho contestants. Only one of the entrants failed to como to the starting point, and sixteen men were despached on the journey. Out of this number eleven finished, two of the placed men being scratch men.

The firm state of the roads prevented the puncture fiend having any success, for only one of the riders failed to finish from that cause. In the circumstances, the strong wind, many of the performances were of exceptional merit, several of the riders making their debut in this branch of the sport.

ARCHER'S CONDITION OP MIND. At the Liverpool on Saturday, Joseph Archer, 39, engineer, was indicted for wounding Miss Emily Speak, of Venice Farm, Shevingtin, near Wigan, with intent to murder. It will be recalled that Archer, a widower with three children, had been engaged on the farm of prosecutrix's mother, and that he in an interview with the girl declared that if he did not have her no one else should. He afterwards attacked her with a razor, and later ga.i himself up and confessed the offence. Archer was not represented by counsel, and ir.

the course of the proceedings wept continuously, and was unable to put questions to the prosecutrix. The Court was informed that he had years ago been injured on the head when working in a colliery, but nothing could now be stated a 6 to his condition of mind. Mr. Justice Piekford said that the injury, coupled with the man's confession and strange conduct, made him conclude to adjourn the case till to-day so that in the meantime those responsible for the case might make full inquiries as to the man's state of mind. His Lordship also intimated that he would see that Archer was represented by counsel.

Saturday was the anniversary of the disastrous Charity Bazaar fire in th-3 Rue Goujon, Paris May 4, 1897.
