Notes and Events.
Mr Phil May, the well known caricaturist, had a narrow escape of his life last month in London, being thrown from his horse, cracking his jaw and getting a slight concussion of the brain* This has followed hard on an attack of partial blindness, due to tobacco poisoning. "He really must take care of himself," comments a London contemporary; "he is too young and too valuable to art k to make dangerous experiments upon himself." It may interest Mr May's Australian friends to hear that he is paid £50 for each of hjs drawings in London Punch. Messrs Berry, Barclay and Co., a well known firm of London corn dealers, state that they expect an important rise in the price of wheat before the end of the present year. This expectation is based on the fact that the present supplies of wheat in Europe are smaller than they have been at any time since 1892.
