The sight of a young girl, mounted on a well-bred racehorse, and leading another, on tho usual training walks around Randwick and Coogoe, has set the racing fraternity -wondering, and tho question as to who she is, ■■ and what horses has she chargo of, is being freely asked (says a Sydney exchange). The girl is Mane Davies, a 17-year-old daughter of Mr. AYilliam Davies, a well-known New Zealand trainer, who has now-taken up his residence'in Sydney. The horses under her caro are Sonito, War Queen, and Defend, each j>f which is soon to make an appearance oil the metropolitan courses. Miss Davies does not yet hold a trainer's license, but intends to niako 'application to tho 'A.J.C. for the necessary authority to permit her taking up the calling; She as assured of good support, if slio caii got a licensoj and there is every chance of her taking over tho whole of her father's houses. : The lady-trainer has hot had a gallop <xn Sydney courses, but has ridden .some good performers qp the training tracks at Wellington (New Zealand). She is confident of being able to hold her own -with tho best of tho Sydney jockeys,' ajid is looking forward to the tame--when she will meot some of them in a trial spin. ...... > • /"I don't believe in a Second Chamber at all,'" said Mr, Philip Snowden'm_r&; pjy to a question at the conclusion of Ilia address on'proportional representation to members of Parliament yesterday morning. . "And now I am 'g'otag to make a remark'that will stagger most of you: I think the most perfect Second 'Chamber in the worlu is the British House of Lords. If I were compelled to, have a' Second Chamber I would have tho House of Lords. AntM will tell you why: they Imow their "unrepresentative character, and' they haven't the arrogance and impudence, of a representative Second Chamber." Mr. Snowden stated further that to did not believe in the New. Zeatafirl proposal to have a Second Chamber clected on tho same franchise as tlio Primary Chamber.

Yesterday Detective-Sergeant Bawl© end Detective Cameron arrested a man on a charge of obtaining the sum of t£4 7a. from William Barrett by means of false pretence. He will appear mi. court' this morning..

Jtlany pot theories of politicians wSte brushed aside by Mr, Philip Snowden in an address on proportional representation which lie made in Parliament Buildings yesterday "morning. Most avowed . supporters of proportional representation in Now Zealand Have been in tho habit of deploring abuses of the party system, and of declaring that the party system and all its attendant evils will-disappear, under proportional representation. This Sir. Snowden denied. He 1 stated unequivocally thai he believed in party, and that he believed in, proportional representation partly 1 because it would emphasise pa-rty differences. He also denied that the big" electoiai»s necessary for proportionar representation would help "the big men with the motor-oar," about whom' some politicians, who are not big men, like to talk. His opinion was that electorates, for the successful' working of the. system, must be,big enough to - return at least nine candidates, and such an electorate was too big to be covered by the biggest man with the biggest motor-car, and also too big to be debauched or corrupted ' by any wealthy man, however long his purse. Replying to a question when the Fisheries Amendment. Bill was being put through all its stages in the House of Representatives last night, the Hon. F. M. B. Fisher said that the reason why the protection had been taken off 6eals 'on the New Zealand cOasts was that the Government could not enforce the' protection. People would take seals unlawfully, and the.Government therefore thought it fair that law-abiding-people should have tho same opportunity. '/Colonel Robin, C.8.; has intimatcfl that' officers attending the Navy League Demonstration -at -the Town' Hall to- ' night may appear in mesa dress or full dress. - ; • ' The Australasian Trade Section of tho London Chamber of Commerce, at a meeting held on .September. 16, considered the question of American shipments to Australasia, and the fact that the-' German lined from New- York to 'Australasia, which are unable to offer at present spaco in German-owned vessels, aspire to keep their connection together by means of running; vessels under the .British flag, with a view to the. > resumption of the ordinary German linos' services at the termination of the war. Members of the'* Australasian Trade Seotion take the Imperial view that shipments from the United States to Australasia are in the, . nature of transactions between our\ American cousins and ourselves, and' that the poods should bo "carried either in British or American-owned. bottoms both now and hereafter. It was unanimously resolved to recommend all members of the section to instruct .their-agents in New York to ship all goods on their account.only by vessels loaded by firms representing genuine bona-fide British interests, certified as such by Messrs. Norton, Lilly, and Co., Produce Exchange Annexe, .New York.
