C~, ra 2 serious retrograde movement in the world, | | &Dove account Lord Vivian’s own statement a day or two later. He wrote as follows to the editor of the Daily Telegraph: ‘In your “leader” on General Taylor, in this day’s paper, you in- troduce an anecdote relative to a dream of mine. The facts are these: I did dream on the | morping of the race for the city and Suburban Handicap, that I had fallen asleep in the welgh- ing room of the stand at epecm, prior to that Tace, and that after it had been run I was awakened by a gentleman—the owner of another in the race—whg Informed me that The Teacher had won. Of this horse, 80 far a3 1ay | Fecoliections serve me, I had never before heard. On reaching Victoria Station the first’ persoa I Saw was the gentleman who had appeared to me in my dream, and I mentioned it to him, Observing that I could not tind any horse sé named in the race. He replied, “There {3 a horse now called Aldrich, which was previously called The Teacher.” The dream 30 vividly im pressed me that I deciared my tnteation of ba ‘ic. is aa for £100, and was in course of dolu; this, when I was questioned by his owner as to “why I backed his horse.” Tréplied, “Because | had dreams he had won the race.” ‘To tuts I was answered: “As avainst your dream, I will teli you this fac’ 1 tried the horse last week with a hurdle jumper,and he was beaten a distance.” I afterwards learned that the triai horse was Wilander). I thanked my informant and dis. continued backing Aldrich. Gen Taylor, who had overheard what had passed, asked me it I did not intend backing the horse again for myself, to win him £1,000 by him. This I dia by Cand for him 1,000 to 39 about Aldrich. Such is the true account of my dream, and of General Taylor's profit from it. The difference between this account and that {n the Daily Telegraj+h may not seem Intrinst- cally important, but itis noteworthy a3 indi cating the probability that in other details there may have been changes (unintentional, of course.) The Spectator made the Tollowing re- preiae (very much to the point, I think) on this Lord Vivian's letter adds very much to the In- explicable element in the story. In the shaj in which the Daily Telegraph originally put it, there was nothing at all Inthe dream but what it was quite reasonable for any one to explain & somewhat remarkable coincidence, between a dream of the event and theevent asit actually result the bet offered being, however, a practical proof that the dream, as alleged, had Occurred, and had greatly influenced the mind of the dreamer and one of his companions be’ore the prediction was fulfilled. But Lord Vivian's testimony that, instead of dreaming of Aldrich as the winner, the friend geen in hig dream had Toentioned s horse whose name was utterly un- known to him—at least, unknown to him fn his. Waxihg state—and of whose running he had no knowledge, and that the name so dreamed of roved to have been the name of a former horse actually im the race, Supplies avery excelieat reason why he should have been sufliciently struck by his dream to Intend actlug upon It. until he was discouraged by hearing of the 2) horse’s defeat by a hurdle jumper, and why General Richard Taylor insisted that tf Lora Vivian did not bet on Aldrich on his own. account, he should still bet. on him on behalf of General Richard Tayior. In truth, Lord Vivian bas supplied the only realiy striking feature in the story. Everybody would be disposed to explain It at once as a case of coincidence but for the bit of tresh knowledge apparently sup- plied in the dream, and verified in fact before the chief prediction of the dream had been tested. Now, here we have exceedingly good evidence, not only of a successful prediction of an unlikely event—for that 1s nothing and occars every day—but of its prediction after a fashion which appears to have been beyond the scope of the dreamers power, That he should have dreamed of the winntng of the race by a horse of name quite unknown to him would, of course, have been nothing. But that after such adream a friend should have able to point out a horse actually running in the race to which the unknown name had actually belonged, was clearly a practical verification of the informing character of the dream, and makes the coincidence—if coincidence it were— of the complete fulfilment of all the important predictions of the dream, one far more extra- ordinary than the fulfilment of any simple anticipation. Isthere any lanation possi- bie of the really curious part of the story, the discernment that a horse which had been called The Teacher was to run in the race; although Lord Vivian could not recall even ‘having heard of such a horse, without recourse to Lypothesis of an unverifled and as yet purely conjectural kind?

The Bicycle in Eagland. I{ was not very long ago that a young man was descending a steep hill in the neighborhood of London, and came to grief before he reach] the bottom. Either heran away with the bi- cycle or the bicycle ran away with him; at ail events, he lost control and rode violently dowa the steep place, only to fiad himself pulled up reckless driving. Then a notable decision was announced by the judge, wko had to deter- Mine the question whether a bicycle could be called a “carriage” or not. If it was nob a car- Mage, then it could not be properly proceed: ainst under the statute whica forbids car- lages to be driven at a reckless pace. The ar- gument of the rider was, that really you could not call a thing consisting of two wheels only, with a little bit of a saddle, a carriage, whtie on the other side it was urged that anythta; was a carriace that had wheels aud a s2at, anc that was used for carrying people. A subtie dilemma this, like the greag dispute in “Alice in Wonderland” about the “Cheshire Cat” tn the tree which was always grinning—tin faci, was entirely grin and nothtng else. We kuow that the King of Hearts waxed angry, and or- dered his executioner to behead that cat; while the executioner replied that he could n°t behead a creature that had no body; to which the king answered that anything that had a head could be beheaded, and he was n’t to talk nonsense. Mr. Justice Lush soon settled tbe analogous bicycle case, and now it stands re- corded in all our law books that a velocipede is @ carriage, ‘‘and nothing but it,” a3 Mr. Weller remarked, and must be ridden or driven at a reasonable pace, go as not to endanger the lives of her majesty’s subjects. As regards the present condition of velocipeding in England, several new inventions have lately come out for making the amusement safer. Elderly gentiemen—yes, and ladies, too, elderly or not— can step up into a comfortable seat, someth! like an arm-chair. lean back, work their feet up and down as if they were at a sewing-ma- chine, and glide along the ground easily and safely. This is the modern tricycle.
