Harlequins Problem

One of the problems of Harlequins of late has been to find a fly-half suitable to their open game. The occasional addition of H. Kemble to their ranks made a big difference, and this pond he should be regularly available.

So should the remainder of last season's side except that R, X Prescott and C. Thompson will be away from the first half dozen or so matches, The Harlegiiins are continiting the experiment of making mo extra charge for the terrace in front of the West Stand, so that it will be possible to get massed local support from those who otherwise look many fewer than the two or three thousand so easily lost in Twickenham's vast spaces.—Reuter.

For the second time in à week the Lütine bell—which announces to the assembled insurance brokers the finding of a vessel—was rung at Lloyd's to-day in connection with the racing yacht Endeavour I, which was lost, after the parting of her tow line in an Atlantic storm 13 days ago, less than 200 miles off the American Coast on her way home from the United States.

The small sailing craft, which has a crew of 19, was sighted this morning by the Newcastle tanker Cayenne 260 miles south-west of Fastnet, Ireland.

The condition of the crew is yet unknown.

To-day's news has come as a great relief to relations of those on board after the cruel disappointment of last week's false report of the finding of the lost yacht—Wireless through Reuter.
