The General Election - The Contest in Reigate Division.
Enthusiastic Meetings by Both Candidates
Col.Rawson, accompanied by Lady Beatrice Rawson, received a cordial welcome at the South Holmwood Schools on Saturday evening, where he addressed a crowded and enthusiastic meeting.

Col.Helsham-Jones presided, and there were also present Miss Helsam-Jones, the Rev.W.R.Finlay, Mr.and Mrs. F.S.Phillips, Mr. and Mrs.A.F.Perkins, Capt.St.John Hornby R.N., and Mrs.St.John Hornby, Mr.Bristow Bovill J.P., Mr. G.H.Longman, Col.Alfred Jones, Mr.P.A.McElwaine, (of the Irish Unionist Association) Mr. E.N.Habershon, Mr. R.H.Wilson, Mr. A.Webber, - - -

The Chairman, in opening the meeting, criticised the Government's administration of the Army and Navy. When the German Emperor sent his famous telegram to the late President Kruger three cruisers were sent out to show that England held the supremacy of the sea, and they proved quite sufficient. The position since then had changed, for Germany had a big fleet in the North Sea and 4,000,000 men behind it. - - -

Col.Rawson and Mr.Webber's Allegation.
Having declared that the upkeep of our naval supremacy was of vital importance to our existence as a nation, Col.Rawson said: I have received a letter from a gentleman who is present tonight (Mr. A.Webber) saying that he was treated with discourtesy at the meeting at North Holmwood on the previous Thursday evening, because he did not have ample facilities for asking questions. By my watch, which was lying on the table (said the candidate) this gentleman asked questions for a quarter of an hour, and I do not think any single elector in this division has any cause for complaint when a quarter of an hour is devoted to him for questions (hear hear). When I tell you that I have to attend two or three meetings a night - - - it is perfectly impossible for me to devote more time than that to one elector. Although I am only too ready to answer any question, I do not thing it fair that any gentleman should come here and make a speech at our meeting. I do not think they have any right to make a speech, as my friend did the other night (applause). - - -

The Chairman then invited questions saying; They must be questions, and no argument can I allow.

Mr.Webber: I feel it is an unfair thing of the Chairman to say that no explanation should be given when a charge is made against me. I maintain -

The Chairman (interposing): That is not a question.

Mr.Webber:I claim I have a right to say -

The Chairman: You have no right.

Mr.Webber: No, because it is your meeting, and you only choose to talk about what you think.

A voice: Talk about it at your own meeting then.

Mr.Webber then resumed his seat.

Mr.F.S.Phillips, who remarked that he was formerly a Free Trader, proposed a resolution approving of the candidature of Col.Rawson.

Mr.Webber (rising from his seat): I beg to propose an amendment.

The Chairman: You cannot; the resolution is not seconded.

Mr.G.H. Longman, in seconding, said that as one whose family traditions had for many generations been entirely on the Liberal side, he thought it his duty - - -

Election Letters
Mr.Webber's Grievance.
[To the Editor]
Sir,
In your report of the meeting at South Holmwood, on the 8th, a speaker on Col.Rawon's platform denounced the methods of the Liberals, and as an example said he had heard in the course of an address the Lord's Prayer parodied, which he (Mr.Finlay), as a clergyman, regarded (and rightly so) as blasphemous, or words to that effect; and yet, notwithstanding he actually repeated the whole of it. It as an irreverent thing to do. Can respect be felt for anyone who would so behave, much less for one who should deserve the complimentary appellation of "Reverend"?

But what shall be said of the Chairman, Col.Helsham-Jones, who allowed it?

A busy scene was witnessed in the Drill Hall of the Cheshire Field Company, Royal Engineers, Harrowby Road, on Thursday evening, when an inspection of engineering work took place. The inspecting officer was Brigadier-General F.C.Heath, Inspector of Royal Engineers.

M.C.Marquis, M.S.Hanmer (in charge of the mounted section) P.Q.Henriques, G.P.Meadowes, and J.P.Ward. The N.C.O.'s on parade were Sergt.-Major J.Hamilton Jackson, Sergt.-Instructor E.A.Gordon and Sergt.-Instructor T.Brain (mounted section).

The whole of the spacious hall was in use.

Brigadier-General Heath afterwards expressed himself satisfied with the men's work. - - -

Territorial Army Notes

Ichobod.

Prior to Thursday last the writer knew rather less than nothing about the work of a field company of Royal Engineers. He says rather less than nothing because he had a hazy sort of notion that he really did know something, and he now finds that that notion bore as much resemblance to the genuine articles as the pungent "perfume" of ripe Limburger cheese bears to the divine odour of ottar of roses  - as much and no more. 

On Thursday evening he was present by invitation at the inspection by Brigadier-General F.C. Heath, Inspector of Royal Engineers of the Cheshire Field Company, R.E., and saw things which excited his Paul Pryish Nature.

Results: He asked a few pertinent questions, and may be one or two that were impertinent, and right here he says that in the Birkinhead drill-shed there's a heap of rattling good "copy" to be had for the picking-up. 

 - - - -continues - - -

During the course of the work on Thursday General Heath made his way unceasingly from one detachment to another and put questions partaking of the nature of Chinese puzzles to sappers and non-coms alike. Evidently he was satisfied with the answers received for at the close of the inspection he warmly congratulated Major Hutchison on the physique and turn-out of the company, as also on the theoretical and practical knowledge all ranks had displayed.

He obtained ample proof of the excellent technical training the members of the corps under-go, and if his inquiries in other towns proved as satisfactory as those he made in Manchester the Territorial Engineers of the country are in a good state of efficiency.

The Primrose League - Successful "At Home" at Westcott
At the invitation of the Dame President and Mr.Carey Druce, the members of the Dorking Habitation of the Primrose League attended in large numbers at an "At Home" at Rokefield, Westcott, on Wednesday.

The proceedings were very pleasant and enjoyable, and, needless to say, Mr. and Mrs.Carey Druce made every effort to make them so. Had it been humanly possible to "order" the weather they would doubtless have used their energy and influence in this direction; as it was, the drizzling rain and absence of sun, somewhat marred the pleasure, which would have been afforded by a stroll through the pretty and pleasingly laid out grounds. - - -

A sumptuous tea, with strawberries and cream ad lib., was not the least acceptable item in the afternoon's programme, and at seven o'clock a public meeting was held in the large tea marquee, the Ruling Councillor (Col. H. Helsham-Jones) being supported by Col.R.H.Rawson M.P., Mr.G.A.Touche (prospective candidate for North Islington) and Mrs. Touche, Lady Florence Blunt, Lady Margaret Ryder, Lady Maud Ryder, Capt.Hornby R.N. and Mrs. Hornby, - - -

The Ruling Councillor, in opening the proceedings, said that there was a time when the principles of the League were more seriously attacked than they were at present. He thought it was a disgrace to this country endeavouring to stir up one class against another, and instead of having a united Empire to break it up and run the risk of a very great danger, which must follow internal dissension; and this at a time when we ought to be preparing for one of the most momentous struggles with a nation which seemed determined to assert its supremacy upon the seas. And yet we had a party who told them that social reform was better than Dreadnoughts!

Brighton "Terrier" Inspected
The Inspecting Officer of Royal Engineers (Brigadier-General F.C.Heath) visited the headquarters of the local Territorial Force R.E., at Coombe Road, Lewes Road, Brighton, yesterday evening being accompanied by Captain and Adjutant G.B.Pears R.E.

Owing to the early hour (5.45) and also to the nearness of the period of annual training, only a few men were able to make an appearance. Brigadier-General Heath inspected the representation of both companies, and made a tour of the premises. The officers on paraded were Captain H.C.Saunders (commanding H.C. Division Telegraph Co., R.E.), and Lieutenant Bartlett, with Sergeant-Instructor Wilson R.E., Capt. H.W.Sanders (commanding 1st H.C. Field Co., R.E.), Second-Lieutenant Garrett, and Sergeant-Instructor Bright R.E.

Garden Party at Sunnyside, Holmwood
On Tuesday last Mr.and Mrs.F.S.Phillips invited the Holmwood members of the Dorking Habitation of the Primrose League, and the Holmwood branches of the Women's Unionist Association and the Divisional Unionist Association, to a most enjoyable garden party at Sunnyside, the event being favoured by beautiful weather. A company of between two and three hundred accepted the invitation, and needless to say everything was done to enhance their pleasure.

Tea was served on the lawn, and afterwards an exhibition of swordsmanship was given by Mr.Thomas Hawkins, of Flint Hill, an ex-chief instructor of fencing and champion swordsman of the Army, and was followed with much interest.

This was followed by a stirring address upon Tariff Reform and Socialism by Mr.A.H.Bartlett, from the Central Office of the Primrose League. The meeting was presided over by Mr.Phillips, and among those present were: Mrs.Carey Druce (Dame President of the Dorking Habitation), Col.H.H.Helsham-Jones (Ruling Councillor), Miss Pennington (secretary), Mrs.Phillips, Capt.St.John Hornby R.N., Mrs.Mortimer, Mr.Bristow Bovill J.P., and Mrs. Bovill, Mrs Gooch, the Rev.W. Russell Finlay, Miss Helsham-Jones, - - -

Col.Helsham-Jones, in moving a vote of thanks to Mr.Bartlett for his excellent address, said it was a most happy thought of Mr. and Mrs.Phillips to have made the invitation so comprehensive. The members of three societies represented all stood for unity, and supported the party which alone stood for unity at home and throughout the Empire.

Mr.W.Sanders seconded, and the vote was heartily accorded. - - -

Col.Helsham-Jones moved a cordial vote of thanks to Sir Trevor and Lady Lawrence, and this having been carried, it was decided to send a letter to Mr.Leverton Harris, wishing him a speedy recovery from his illness.

Fairplay

Recently, at the Savoy Hotel, Mr.C.E.Heath, a well-known member of Lloyd's, was entertained at dinner by his names. Mr. Charles Wright was in the chair, and about thirty were present. A presentation of antique plate was made to Mr.Heath. The most unassuming of men, Mr.Heath has unobstrusively transformed Lloyd's from a purely marine insurance institution to a place where almost any eventuality can be insured against.

Considering the enormous miscellaneous business now carried on at Lloyd's, it seems almost incredible that it should have been developed in a quarter of a century by the initiative and the enterprise of one man.

Mr.Heath began business life in the year 1876 when he entered the offices of Messrs. Henry Head and Co.; he became a member of Lloyd's in 1880. He is now one of the most important insurance brokers in London, and at the same time he represents the very large number of underwriters on whose behalf the presentation was made.

Mr.Heath has been amongst the foremost of those who have laboured during recent years to maintain the credit of Lloyd's, and he has also rendered important services to the Corporation in connection with the Assurance Companies Act. Mr.Heath is the son of the late Admiral Sir Leopold Heath

Lowland Engineers at Troon
On Friday the weather cleared up beautifully at the camp of the Lowland Divisional Engineers (T.) at Troon, and the inspection and sports were carried out under fine conditions. - - -

Work was continued at Barassie Warren, and the pontoon bridge at Irvine was left in charge of a few men on guard. A charge was made for the privilege of crossing the bridge, the proceeds to go to the Kilmarnock Infirmary, and a good number availed themselves of the opportunity of crossing. The traffic was not confirmed to foot passengers, the bridge being crossed by various kinds of vehicles, including cabs and motor cars. The bridge will not be demolished until it has been inspected by General Heath, Inspector-General of Royal Engineers, who comes from the War Office on a tour of inspection, and is expected to inspect the Lowland Engineer on Wednesday. - - -

During the day General Heath C.B., Royal Engineers, arrived, and inspected the camp, works equipment, horses, and wagons, and in the afternoon the pontoon bridge at Irvine. - - -

Colonel Lister and the Telegraph Engineers
The October "Corps News" published by the Birmingham Telegraph Engineers maintains its standard of excellence, but a little more initiative on the part of the scribbling members of the regiment might easily improve its interest. I gather from the "News" that Captain F.A. Iles has just qualified as an interpreter both in German and French; and that Lieutenants A.Handley, C.E.Tebbitt, E.J.Mitton and C.F.R.N.Weston qualified in "A" during the Windmill Hill training. - - -

Commencing this month the Great Brook Street Barracks will be open at 8p.m. and arrangements are being made for the opening of a telegraph school, signalling class, miniature rifle range, physical drill classes, and harness instruction. For the benefit of those unable to attend in the evening, the telegraph school will be opened on Monday afternoons if sufficient names are handed to the sergeant-major.

Colonel Lister also reviews the work carried out during camp, and states that General Heath, Inspector-General of Royal Engineers expressed himself as extremely satisfied with the smart and soldierly appearance of the men. The C.O. "hopes that N.C.O.'s and men will support their company officers by attending drills and lectures during the non-training period, and not be satisfied with merely putting in the small minimum number of drills laid down by regulation. All ranks should remember that a great portion of our work can be learnt and practised at headquarters, and if this is done, a large amount of time will be saved at camp, which, with a large number of horses at our disposal, can be devoted to carrying out schemes and taking part in field days with other troops, thus making the work of the corps interesting and instructive to all ranks. - - -

Manydown Rifle Club - Eighth Annual Prize Meeting.
This fixture was held last Saturday afternoon at the Club Range. The weather was on the whole favourable, though the light might have been better. Amongst the spectators were General Heath, Mrs. Heath, Mrs.Elliot, Mrs.Bates and Miss Bates. Captain Bates, who has always taken a keen interest in the Club was, unfortunately unable to be present, being on his way to India. Mr.S.E.Bates, the President of the Club, acted as shooting superintendent, being assisted by Major Roberts Thomson.

The competitions had been arranged - Series A. 50 yards handicap, a sighter and 10 shots to count, deliberate firing at decimal targets; Series B, 100 yards' handicap, under similar conditions. The handicapping, as last year, was arranged on the "dropped points" principle, and, as then, the prize winners, by shooting well above their usual form, reaped the benefit of the handicap.

At the close of competitions the members partook of tea, and then assembled on the lawn, when the President asked General Heath to distribute the prizes.

General Heath, in expressing his pleasure in being present, added that whether the members joined the Club for pleasure or with the higher motive - patriotism - shooting was a good thing. The authorities recognised the value of miniature rifle shooting. There were those who objected to rifle clubs on the ground that they encouraged militarism, but he was of opinion that they promoted peace.

General Heath then presented the various prizes and medals, the prize list showing, besides those offered by the management of the Club, a number of prizes generously provided by the following local tradesmen: Messrs W.Canon and Son, A.J.Course, J.Joice, T.M.Kingdon, F.Lodder, H.C.Oddy, and J.Wheeler.

Before the proceedings terminated, Mr.Bates, on behalf of the Club, warmly thanked General Heath. From the scores given below it will be seen that the Club Challenge Cup and silver medal were secured by H.Stevens, with an aggregate of 168. - - -

The Chairman having explained that the meeting was held in support of the candidature of Col.Rawson, invited the names of voluntary helpers and canvassers on his behalf. - - -

Mr.George H.Longman, in seconding, said he came of an old Liberal family, but he could not support Liberalism of today, as it had a tendency to sap the stability of the nation. The present crisis was by far the most serious in the memory of any elector, and all who had the British nation at heart should cast their votes on the Unionist side and turn out the present Government "neck and crop" at the coming Home Rule election.

The resolutions were then put and carried amid much enthusiasm. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded the Chairman on the proposition of Mr.B.Bovill, seconded by Mr.R.H.Wilson.
