BRISTOL CUP MATCH. } I For the lirst time since its incep- j tion, the Geraldine Bowling Club has 1 found itself with sufficient members : to put eight rinks in the held. The present membership consists ot 35 players, and it was thought that to assemble 32 players on a green 25 miles away out of such a number during holiday time was a well-nigh impossible task. It says a good deal for the esprit de corps of its members that the Club was able on Tuesday to play eight full rinks again . the Timaru Club in a challenge match for the Bristol Cup. The visitors had no illusions in regard to the probable result ot the game, and though they wore weh beaten by the better team, they wore by no means disgraced for the cards show a far belter state of affairs : than the actual ligures seem to ituli- C cate. Only one rink' (Stringer si i was up. but Stock s rink only lost 4

f.lie inquust on Hymen Coleman, a butcher's assistant, at Hackney, v, ho was slabbed in Ibo breast at his home, after a visit to a kinema theatre. Coleman while dying in hosliitaJ, informed (he police that his four-year-old «»" picked up a tnliie Unit-: and stabbed him, saying, "This is how the man did it in the pictures." ' Coleman's brother gave evidence that deceased told him his wife stabbed him after a quarr"l. but lie would not accuse her ;ik i lu-re would be no one left to take care of the two children. Dr. Spilsbury tJlome Office expert) said in his evidence that it was very doubtful if ihi- wound was inflicted by'a child, hu! it was just possible. PARIS, .January 2.

A reiu.il of (error has been esiahin the town of Tulle, owing to wholesale anonymous letters which have continued since August. At. least 100 letters, signed "The Tiber's Kye." have been pushed under the doors of houses, accusing husbands or wives of adultery. The cases and their details are so circumstantial that hoiiies have been wrecked, and two men have .none mad owing to Big rewards are offered. Special Parisian detectives have been engaged, bul thny have failed to trace the writers, who are apparently a gang. LONDON'. .January :j. The "Daily Express" Berlin correspondent stales that Paul Betz, a madman, ran amok with daggers, in a fashionable quarter, as crowds were leaving the theatres. Five women and seven men were stabbed before the police tired revolvers and so wounded Betz that they overpowered him. Several were wounded and are in a critical condition. One policeman is dead.
