I BY MKRCUBIUS. p RED NEVISON, THE BONUS SHOP, BANK, BARNARD CASTLE. The apparent lack of interest in the facilities afforded by evening continuation classes, to which Mr Emerson called attention at a recent meeting of the Teesdale District Education Committee, is to all who value education ono of the most distressing signs of the times. It is but a continuauce of that spirit which before the school-leaving age is completed looks forward only to the day when school can bo left behind, and after that troubles no more to build up that education of which elementary school life is but the found- ation. It may be true that the secondary schools which retain their scholars until they are at least sixteen supply iu some measure the supplementary teaching which the ordinary elementary school cannot provide, and to a great extent, therefore, since all secondary schooling i n D u r h a m County is now free, wo are more advauced t h a n w o w o r e a decade or two ago, b u t i t does seem a pity that those young people who for a variety of reasons have been uuable to take advantage of extra traiuiug should bo content to thiuk that having passed t h r o u g h t h e elementary school there is no need to trouble further about learning. Is it because the subjects are unattractive or because evening class students must take the whole of a series of subjects or none of them, aud those who cannot take the whole are debarred from t a k i n g a n y o f t h e m ? * * * Passiug along Station Road, Baruard Castle, yesterday (writes a corre?poudeut), just as the secondary school pupils were arriving home from Bishop Auckland by train, strange sounds" fell upon the ear—derisive cries of " Gam ! S w o t t e r ! " Investigation showed that the taunt was being directed by elementary school boys towards those formerly of their number who haviug qualified for secondary education had been granted facilities for benefiting by it. But w h y t h e y should be subjected to such taunts from others who either could not or would not—probably the latter—qualify for something higher, puzzled me. The taunted ones wero obviously pained, but probably the reflection that they are on the way to still higher education at the universities—for that is the end of higher education which even elementary scholars may eventually attain to —will make them forget their assailers. Aud perhaps those assailers are b y t h i s time, on reflection, sorry for their attitude toward their fallows with the larger outlook. The issue of the syllabus of the Teesdale Musical Tournament is a reminder that this festival is in the ninth year of its existence and going stronger than ever. Dr. James Lyon, Birmingham, is the judge, and it is hoped that the competitions, on Friday and Saturday, May 11th aud 12th, may be entered into more keenly even than last year. O n t h e children's day (Friday), there will be eighteen classes, school children and school choirs being included, some for Teesdale only and others open to the wider area of the Kingdom. I u a subsequent issue i t i s hoped to publish the complete syllabus as usual. * * # In the senior sectiou the committee have made changes with a view to enlisting a larger entry. Two new trophies have been provided —a challenge shield for male voice choirs from workmen's clubs, works, or ex-servicemen's organisations, by Major J. W. B. Heslop, aud a silver rose bowl for male voice choir competi- tion b y M i J . I n g r a m Dawson. In times past the male voice choirs have been among the chief events of the contest, and it is hoped that fresh encouragement will lead to an increased entry iu this very popular form of vocal music tests. * « * ArraugementH for the Hospital Ball at Barnard Castle on February 16th are pro- ceeding apace and no pains are being spared to ensure success. The following have been lippoiuted the refreshment committee : The Hon. Mrs Cyril Liddell (chairman), Mrs Swiu- bank, M r a n d Mrs Arthur T a y l o r M r s A . J. Youug, Mrs T. Laugstaff, Mrs Fred Smith, Miss A n u e t t , M r s H . F . YouugH, a n d M r s T . M . Metcalfe. These are busy obtaining promises of eatables or fuuds for the purchase o f t h e m , and of the sumptnousuess of the repast there is not tho least possible doubt. The Committee of the Baruard Castle Branch of tho Natioual Farmers' Union have been particularly fortunate iu prevailing upon the Ministry to allow Mr R. Boutflour, the Ministry's Director of Dairy Husbaudry, to deliver a lecture on " T h o Management of Dairy Cows " at Baruard Castle on February 15th. Mr Boutflour is recognised to be the greatest authority in the world on the subject of his lecture, aud his long practical experience has given him the confidence of the big majority of dairy farmers iu England. It has been proved beyond doubt that his method of feeding has not only increased very materially the yield of milk, but also reduced the cost of production which, in these days, is of vital importance to the milk producer. In many districts his system has revolutionised dairy farming and the farmers of Teesdale will be well advised to make a special effort to avail themselves of the advantages of Mr Boutflonr's experience. Tho L.N.E.R. have extended in the majority of instances iu the North Eastern Area of their system the availability of cheap day tickets, and these will now be issued for the outward journey b y a n y ordinary train after 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. and for return by any ordinary train ou the day of issue. These tickets are issued on certain days of the week to large centres and market towns within a reasonable radius and are in most cases based ou the single fare for the return journey. Within the last two or three years' this arrangement has been consider ably extended, so t h a t it is now possible to obtain a oheap day return ticket to one or other nearby centre of population from nearly evary North Eastern Area station. Thiuking of summer excursions bv rail, Mr Beautymau iuforins me that there is to be another trip to Scotlaud from Ttesdale, ou Saturday, June 9th, and suggests that those who have enjoyed previous jaunts of this description may begiu to prepare for another trip to the l; land o' cakes." The plan is to visit the Clyde, the Kyles of Bute, Loch Fyno and Rothesay, leaving this district about midnight, and proceeding via Berwick and Edin- burgh to Craige.ndorau, from which a steamer will start at 8-oU am., reaching Rothesay about 2 p . m . a u d allowing for a stay there of four* aud a half hours. Tho return traiu will leave Craigendorau about 7-20 p.m. The fare for this trip, iucluding breakfast and dinner on the train and lunch ou the steamer, will be from Middleton-in-Ti eadale 31s. Id., aud from Baruard Castle 30s. 7d. Cheap I One has great pleasure i n r e c o r d i u g t h a t M r A. B. Wilkinsou, youngest son o f M r a n d Mrs J. P. Wilkinson, Mains House, Barnard Castlp, has secured an appoiutment as maintenance engineer to the Shanghai Mutual Telephone Company, Ltd., and sails from Liverpool on Saturday i n t h e s.s. " Sarpodon " for Chiua. Since leaving Barnard Castle School Mr Wilkinson has been employed in the Postal Service at Darlington and Middlesbrough, aud h e h a d t o pass a v e r y searching examination in London iu order to secure h i s n e w appoint- ment. * * * Apropos the controversy raging in the North Country newspapers anent foxhuuting, Mr William Todd, Barningham, kindly sends the following liues which express the real spirit of tho hunt whatever the critics may think to the contrary: , . Not for the lust of killing, Not for the place of pride, Not for the hate of the hunted, We British saddle and ride ; But because of the gift of our fathers, The blood in our veins that Hows Must answer for ever and ever The challenge of " Yonder he goes ! " * * * Through the exertions of its editor, Mr W. Chapman Wood, the Hertfordshire Mercury has raised no less than .£5,054 for the Hert- fordshire County Hospital with the promise of a regular income of JE1,000 a year for the institution. Only five years have passed since the scheme was launched, aud the amount is made up m a i n l y b y tho weekly pi nee con- tributed b y w o r k m e n i n t h e area served by the hospital. M r C h a p m a n W o o d , b y t h o w a y , i s a Teesdaliau, aud news of his achievement will be very welcome t o h i s m a n y friends in the Dale. * * » That Middletou-in-Teesdale should have an official guide of its owu is a matter for sincere congratulatiou to those who are responsible for the production of the handsome little brochure which has just been issued. Five of the pages, to begiu with, are hoaded by charming little photographs, well-known sceues being depicted, and four of these were taken by Mr J. Laogstaff, Middleton-iu-Teesdale. The letterpress gives an interesting description of the viilago and that part of Teesdale of which it is tho gate, together with a little local history, aneieut and modern, aud much iuformatiou which those who, being strange to the district and seeking a health resort, may fiud of use in the selection of a place for sojourning in. Various places of historic interest within easy distance of Middleton are also described. Mr George W. Forster, whose interest in amateur football originated in Teesdale and now happily extends t o a m u c h w i d e r area than his native dale, has taken upon himself the very laudable task of appealing to eigbty-one English League Football clubs in an endeavour to enable Cockfield Football Club to carry ou. Despite its record in producing League foot- ballers, he says, Cockfield, for a recent replayed English Amateur Cup tie, in which Norton Woodseats were beaten, could not afford t o b u y new football. Mr Forster gives the names of former Cockfiold players who have at one time or auothor joined higher circles of English football, and the clubs by which the lads were first registered as professionals—viz , J. Iceton, Hull City; Frank Twine, Middlesbrough , Alex. Hooper, Charlton ; J. E. Wilson and E. Lowson, Blackpool ; D. Ashman, Middles- b r o u g h ; C . Robson and W. Robson, Leeds United; Mark Hooper, Darlington ; William Hooper, Oldham ; Carl Hooper, Lincoln City ; T. W . R o e , T o t t e n h a m ; J . McGuiro, C h a r l t o n ; Mitchell, S u n d e r l a n d ; J . E . R a n d , E v e r t o n . Not a bad list 1 * * * Mr Forster proceeds : " A t t h e present time, the Cockfield club, which operates in the Northern League, has about a dozen youug players, any one of whom could hold h i s o w n an Euglish League club's reserve team. Cockfield is carryiug ou the great work of finding 'em, but—the local colliery has been idle since June. Consequently funds are low. It will be exceedingly difficult t o c a r r y o n m u c h longer, despite the fact that the club is doing well i n t h e E n g l i s h A m a t e u r C u p . There are buddiug Hoopers and Ashmans at Cockfield. Do you not think it is therefore imperative, iq the interests of English League football, that such an important nursery as Cockfield should coutinue to function ? T h e n i f y o u c a n help the little amateur village team to keep the flag flying, you will be rendering the game a great service. A u d w h o k n o w s ? Perhaps they may go ou to win the Amateur Cup. Perhaps before auother season starts the Cockfield pit will have re-opened. Perhaps tho next Mark Hooper they produce will come along to your club. I hope you will help Cockfield now. Thomas Scott, Esperley Lane, Cockfield, is the Secretary." A n d i t m a y be that some Tees- daliau, oue of the many readers of the Teesdale Mercury who have the paper sent to them week by week, seeing the appeal iu this week's issuo, may be constrained to do the needful. LORD BARNARD'S ACCIDENT. WHILE THROWN FROM HIS HORSE HUNTING. Lord Barnard, while riding to houuds with the Zetland Hunt, of which he is joint master, on Thursday, had the misfortune to be thrown aud to sustain a dislocated shoulder. The meet was at Legs-a-Cross, and a fox eventually took the pack in the directiou of Gainford. His Lordship was riding through Gainford Big Wood when his horse stumbled and he was thrown against a tree. He was attended by Dr. Hickey, of Gainford, and Dr. McCullagh, of Bishop Auckland, the family physician, was summoned. Lord Barnard was removed to Raby Castle, where the doctors succeeded in replacing the shoulder. His Lordship, all our readers will b o h a p p y to learn, is progressing favourably.

Formerly a scholar at Barnard Castle Council School, Philip went t o L o u d o n a n d became a pupil at Highbury Park School, where he was showing signs of excellent progress.

INS AND OUTS OF THE TEESDALE INSTITUTION. SIR ,— The correspondent in your last issue seems t o m c t o d e l i g h t i n m a k i n g mountains out of mole hills. The tone of his letter bristles with sarcasm and uncharitableuess. The reference to thick or thin soup, juicy joints, etc., which are giveu to the poor out- casts of society once a year is an instance of his pimV. H e m a y perhaps k n o w t h a t these living tightiug cocks, or racing greyhounds, as he stoops to call them, have hung u p i n the institution a dietary scale a l l t h e year round. At most institutions there are radiators and pipes to heat the rooms where people gather to eat or sleep. All honour to our elected men aud women who are tryiug to emulate the spirit of the Nazarene by helping those who cauuot help themselves. A s t o t h e wayfarers who come aud go, they have a certain amount of task to perform in order to earn that crust of bread and cheese before going in search of what so many can't get—work. I have a deep-rooetd sympathy with the gentle, long- suffering poor, aud if, as your correspondent Bays, they are practically destitute, he may refer them to our relieviug officers. I know the antipathy many have to acquainting any one of their distress, but that's no blame to our Guardians. As a ratepayer for over thirty years I honour men aud w o m e n w h o , when they hear of or see a wrong, dare speak out their miud to get things put right and sacrifice time and attention to things that matter.

T h e b o d y o f Arthur Watson (29), miner of 5, Lands Lane, Butterknowle, was found by his brother hanging from a beam in a hay shed near his home on Monday afternoon. It is understood that deceased had been in very poor health of late. The Coroner will hold an inquest this afternoon. HUNTING. TEES VALLEY BEAGLES. A DAY WITH THE FELLMEN. At the invitation of Mr Alan Widdas, Buck Heads Farm, and through the generous permission of owners of sporting rights - Lord Barnard, the North Bitch- burn Coal Company Limited, and the tenant farmers — this famous pack met at Cockfield Fell for the first time in the history of the Hunt on Thursday last, snd had a remarkable and thrilling day's hunting. Mr Sim Heslop, who had made the necessary arrange- ments for the day, very kindly welcomed the Deputy- Master, Mr Fred Helmer, the huntsman, whips and members of the hunt at his residence in a moat hospitable manner. An enormous crowd of keen sport-loving miners gathered to meet hounds, and by the time a move had been made to Cragg Wood, where Mr Alan Widdas and several others on horse- back joined up, there must have been between four and five hundreB followers, many of whom bad already posted themselves at different vantage points in the country in anticipation of the day's chase. Huntsman Sowerby tried Cragg Wood, which was drawn blank, but after crossing the road a big, strong hare was soon put up close to the farm house at Buck Heads which took hounds at full cry to Hazel Qrove and then turned westward to Porteus's and kept a line for the North Wood. Here " Puss " doubled back and led the pack at a merry pace across country nearly to " Sun Ion." The fine music of hounds was heard miles away, and the little fellows stuck to their job splendidly amidst strange surround- ings, and a crowd of fleet-footed but somewhat noisy and excited pitmen who " kept u p " in the most wonderful manner. Turning North at the " S a n " this hare raced on behind Evenwood Village, and into Cragg Wood, where some clever hunting was witnessed before " Puss " was pushed out to the west toward the old quarry aud on to Espet ley, via Gordon House, and from there to Burnt Houses, but on making back to Keverstone she was lost. Hares had by now been disturbed on all sides, and this made hunting very difficult. Several further runs provided hounds with plenty of workfcand they greatly delighted the followers, before {Minting had to be given up for the day. Our pitmasl does love a " dswg," and although to the majority of them beagling was a new game their admiration and delight in the hounds was good to behold. Wh.it splendid speedy whips some of tbem would make ! The officials and ladies of the hunt were afterwards entertained to tea at Butterknowle by Field-Master Sowerby and his son, the well -known Huntsman, whilst Mr A. Widdas kindly gave tea to others at Buck Heads Farm. SATURDAY'S MEET AT ROMALDKIRK. A fair number of followers turned out on Saturday to meet Mr F. Helmer, the Deputy-Master, and bounds at headquarters. A move was made up the Tin Ten Road, and Huntsman Sowerby tried Cameron's Allotments, where a hare was immediately raised which provided a capital run. Taking a line past Graeie this hare crossed railway and road and took hounds merrily through Hayberries land to the river before she returned to the i ail way, along which she travelled some distance in the directiou of Romaldkirk with^iound-music that roused at least one laggard follSSer in the village to sudden action. Then turning westward past Gracie again this hare made for the Teestgassing Icaron Lodge and into Icaron Gill with hound£in full cry. Stealing away from there " Puss " njade back to Cameron's Allotment, and was viewed rfy Mr Helmer. After a lot of clever work hounds got on aud put her up again, when she made a long run ott to Currick Rigg, and from there back through Tig Ten Allotment, and turning east passed Cameron's Allotment and headed again for the railway with hounds pressing her hard. Hereabouts a fresh hare must have been raised, for the chase was suddenly taken westward at a great pace " In an exciting glorious Hunt, O'er miles of hill and dale," on a line to Crossroads, through Botany Allotment, and westward over the moor until Grassholme Reservoir in LunefHEle was reached—a most remarkable straight " point -of between four and five miles ! Hunt-man Joe and two speedy cross country runners had this part of the day's proceedings very much to themselves ! Oof-young legal friend, long of limb, and the other lad who two years in succession won the Barney Run at the School kept up with hounds. The heavy rain had now ceased and from the heights beyond Bail Hill, a magnificent view of Teesdale was to be seen. Presently, away behind Mickleton Village hounds were espied coming in full cry on the low ground, and the rest of the field were able to join in the run which was carried up again to the high ground where scent began to fail, and hounds were whipped off at Parson's Bog for the day. Returning to Rdmaldkirk a hard day's hunting was finished up with • capital tea at the " Rose and Crown." U HUNTING APPOINTMENTS. TEES j'ALLEY BEAGLES.

HUNTING.

T E E S V A L L E Y B E A G L E S .

A D A Y W I T H T H E F E L L M E N .

A t the i n v i t a t i o n of M r A l a n Widdas , B u c k Heads F a r m , and t h r o u g h the generous permission of owners of spo r t ing r ights - L o r d Barnard, t he North Bi tch-b u r n Coal Company L i m i t e d , and the tenant farmers — th i s famous pack met at Cockfield Fe l l for the first t i m e i n the h is tory of the H u n t on Thursday last , s n d had a remarkable and t h r i l l i n g day 's hunting. M r S i m Heslop, who had made the necessary arrange­ments for t he day, very k i n d l y welcomed the Deputy-Master, M r F r e d Helmer , the h u n t s m a n , whips and members of the hunt at his residence i n a moat hospitable manner. A n enormous c r o w d of keen spor t - loving miners gathered to meet hounds , and by the t i m e a move had been made to Cragg Wood, where M r A l a n Widdas and several others on horse­back jo ined up , there must have been between four and five hundreB followers, many of whom bad already posted themselves at d i f ferent vantage points i n the coun t ry i n an t ic ipa t ion of the day's chase.

H u n t s m a n Sowerby t r i e d Cragg W o o d , which was drawn b lank , b u t after crossing the road a b ig , strong hare was soon p u t u p close to the f a r m house at Buck Heads which took hounds a t f u l l c r y to Hazel Qrove and then t u r n e d wes tward to Porteus's and kept a l ine for the N o r t h W o o d . Here " Puss " doubled back and l ed the pack a t a m e r r y pace across count ry nearly to " Sun I o n . " The fine music of hounds was heard miles away, and the l i t t l e fellows stuck to the i r j o b splendidly amids t strange su r round­ings, and a c rowd of fleet-footed b u t somewhat noisy and exci ted p i t m e n who " kep t u p " i n the most wonder fu l manner. T u r n i n g N o r t h at t he " S a n " th i s hare raced on behind Evenwood Vi l l age , and into Cragg W o o d , where some clever h u n t i n g was witnessed before " Puss " was pushed ou t to the west toward the o ld q u a r r y aud on to Espet ley, via Gordon House, and f r o m there to B u r n t Houses, bu t o n making back to Keverstone she was lost. Hares had by now been dis tu rbed on a l l sides, and th i s made h u n t i n g very diff icult . Several fu r the r r u n s provided hounds with plenty of workfcand they g rea t ly de l igh t ed the followers, before { M i n t i n g had to be g iven u p for the day. Our pitmasl does love a " d s w g , " and a l though to the ma jo r i t y o f t h e m beagling was a new game their admira t ion and de l igh t i n the hounds was good to behold. W h . i t splendid speedy whips some of tbem would make ! The officials and ladies of t he hunt were afterwards en te r ta ined to tea a t B u t t e r k n o w l e by Field-Master Sowerby and his son, the well-known Huntsman , w h i l s t M r A . W i d d a s k i n d l y gave tea t o others at Buck Heads F a r m .

S A T U R D A Y ' S M E E T A T R O M A L D K I R K . A fair number of followers t u r n e d out on Saturday

t o meet M r F . Helmer, the Deputy-Master , and bounds at headquarters. A move was made u p the T i n Ten Road, and Hun t sman Sowerby t r i e d Cameron's Al lo tments , where a hare was immedia te ly raised wh ich provided a capi tal r u n . T a k i n g a line past Graeie this hare crossed ra i lway and road and took hounds mer r i ly t h rough Hayberries l a n d to the r iver before she re turned to t h e i a i l way, a long which she t ravel led some distance i n the d i rec t iou of R o m a l d k i r k w i t h ^ i o u n d - m u s i c t ha t roused a t least one laggard follSSer i n the vi l lage to sudden act ion. T h e n t u r n i n g westward past Gracie again this hare made for the Teestgassing Ica ron Lodge and i n t o Icaron G i l l w i t h hound£ in f u l l c ry . Steal ing away from there " Puss " njade back t o Cameron's A l l o t m e n t , and was viewed rfy M r He lmer . A f t e r a l o t of clever w o r k hounds got on aud p u t her u p again, when she made a long r u n ott to Cur r i ck Rigg , and f r o m there back th rough T i g Ten A l l o t m e n t , and t u r n i n g east passed Cameron's A l l o t m e n t and headed again for the ra i lway w i t h hounds pressing her hard . Hereabouts a fresh hare mus t have been raised, for the chase was suddenly taken westward a t a great pace

" I n an exc i t ing glorious H u n t , O'er miles of h i l l and dale,"

on a l ine to C r o s s r o a d s , t h rough Botany A l l o t m e n t , and westward over the moor u n t i l Grassholme Reservoir in LunefHEle was reached—a most remarkable s t ra ight " po in t - o f between four and five miles ! H u n t - m a n Joe and t w o speedy cross coun t ry runners had this par t of the day's proceedings very m u c h to themselves ! O o f - y o u n g legal f r iend, l o n g of l i m b , and the other lad who two years i n succession w o n the Barney R u n at the School kept u p w i t h hounds. The heavy ra in had now ceased and f r o m the heights beyond Bai l H i l l , a magnificent v iew of Teesdale was to be seen. Presently, away behind Mick l e ton Vil lage hounds were espied coming i n f u l l c ry on the low ground , and the rest of the f ie ld were able to j o i n i n the r u n which was car r ied u p again to t h e h i g h g round where scent began to f a i l , and hounds were wh ipped off at Parson's Bog for the day.

R e t u r n i n g to Rdmaldk i rk a h a r d day's h u n t i n g was finished up w i t h • capi tal tea a t the " Rose and C r o w n . " U
