A JOCKEY'S DEATH.

to rax iuitor o* "trb press." Sir, —In your report to-day re ambulance arrangements at the C.J.0., I am reported ns saying, "Tho CKib was apparently unaware of the fact that the trained nurses were in charge of the casualty room, and practically insinuated the Brigade vm responsible for the jockey's death, whereas it was tho trained nurses." This certainly read as if I were blaming the nurses for it when as a matter of fact jr° Buoh idea was in my mind. Mr Boyle in his letter Bays, "The Committee has food reason to believe thpt hia (Dr. cott's) instructions were not cwried out owing to tho ahsenoe of the nurses and that it is njore than likely his leaving was the ca,usa of his death." As I pointed out in my report tlie Brigade are not- responsible for tho oasnnlty roorH) and what I intended to convey was that the nurses were responsible for the casualty room. The last tour words make nil the difference to the nehding, as being responsible for & room and being responsible for a death we entirely different things.—Y®" l *. ete.. W. W. McKWNB*. April Uth.

About 10 niilea up from the mouth it describes a letter 8. The head of I>eadman's Greek is to be con* nected with the top of this S with a half-mile tunnel. A mile up from the pet* this creek has ft 100 ft waterfall, with good damming cbnntry on top of it. This should interest Gniistdhnrch. —Yours, etc. PETER THOLOVE.
