FEBRUARY 24, 1921 SIDE-WINDS THE 192 J Almanack Sportif Bessonneau is Just to hand. Itcontains nearly 200 pages of practical and useful information (with illustrations) dealing with the World of Sport. Thereare complete lists of records put up in the various branches of sport—aeronautics, motoring, boxing, football, golf,cycling, etc.—as well as a programme of the principal sporting events for 1921. It is, in fact, a veritable vade mecum ofsport, for all classes of sportsmen—and sportswomen I MR. D. LAWRENCE SANTONI, founder of the " SocietaIdrovolanti Alta Italia," which during the War did such splended work for the Allies' cause with the Savoia flyingboats (winners of the Schneider Cup both in 1919 and 1920), is definitely leaving Italy. Having ceased all relations withthe Societa Idrovolanti Alta Italia of Sesto-Calende, he has now established in Paris, at 72, rue la Bo6tie, an industrialoffice with an aeronautical department, with representatives in the chief capitals of Europe. Mr. D. Lawrence Santoniwill be glad to negotiate with English constructors wishing to push their products abroad. • HERBERT TERRY AND SONS, of Redditch—and springrenown—inform us that they have a Stand at the " British Industries Fair," at Birmingham, where they will be pleasedto welcome all inquiries relative to the remarkably varied assortment of goods they are handling. Their latest list is" chock " full of useful articles, and is well worth writing for. ALTHOUGH Crossley Motors, Ltd., find it is impossibleto ofier their cars at prices lower than those given in the current price list, they have, in order to remove any un-certainty which may exist in the minds of possible pur- chasers, issued an announcement which makes it clear thatif the prices of Crossley Cars are reduced before July 1, 1921. then all purchasers who have bought their cars at currentlist prices between January 1 and July i, 1921, either direct from the company or from their authorised agents, will beentitled to the difference, by way of rebate, upon application to the company together with the necessary proof beforeJuly 1, 1921. MESSRS. BARROW, BROWN AND CO., LTD., of Bangkok, Siam,advise us that Mr. E. O'Hara, a director of their company, left Bangkok on a brief visit to Europe, at the end of January,and may be communicated with at Messrs. The Allied Na- tional Corporation, Ltd., 34, Great Tower Street, London, E.C.,from about March 5. AT the British Industries Fair, now open at the WhiteCity, Shepherd's Bush, Cellon (Richmond), Ltd., are ex- hibiting at their Stand the latest examples of the uses oftheir " Cerric " Products, including metal lacquers, wood solutions, bronzing mediums, wood finishes, enamels, etc.They will be pleased to welcome old and new friends there, and it may be noted that the nearest entrance to their standis Uxbridge Road entrance. AN exceptional opportunity for motorists to obtain acces-sories or fittings at advantageous prices is offered by the " clearance sale " now being conducted by Messrs. S. Smithand Sons (M.A.), Ltd. It is impossible to give any adequate idea of the list of things now to be obtained at 25 to 50 percent, below their original prices, but the Special Clearance Sale Catalogue which has just been issued should certainlybe sent for. The sale continues until March 7, but it would be as well not to delay too long before dropping a card to173, Great Portland Street for that catalogue. The good things are sure to be snapped up early. BARIMAR, LTD., the World's Scientific Master Welders,have opened yet another service depot at 117, Vicar Lane, Leeds. As in the cases of their depots at Manchester,Birmingham, Newcastle and Cardiff, all classes of welding work will be dealt with, and the Barimar metallurgicalprocess, for repairing scored cylinders, and the salving of new castings which have been scrapped through blowholesor other blemishes, will be operated on the spot.

Reeve was brought up the previous week on a similar chargebut he was then unable to do so as he was in hospital suffering from injuries received in an aeroplane accidentConnell had been a pilot in the Royal Air Force. It was con- tended that the offence was merely a technical one.Mr. James Adair, depute fiscal, said the leaflets could not have caused bodily injury, but there were other ways in which harmcould have been caused, as he had explained in the case of Capt. Reeve. There were possibilities of the leaflets fallingin front of horses and frightening the animals. He pointed out that the regulations must be obeyed. Sheriff Harvey imposed a fine of £5.m m m m.
