Tuesday's Westminster Gazette gives an interesting inter- view with Lord
Windsor in regard to the experiment in public-house management made by him on bis estate at St. Fagan's, near Cardiff. After building a specially comfortable house, resembling a superior working - man's club, Lord Windsor put in a manager and supplied him with intoxi- cating liquors, for the sale of which he has to render an account. For retailing these liquors he is paid a fixed salary, be the takings small or great. On the other hand, the manager is paid a commission on the profits of everything outside the sale of intoxicating liquors,—the hostelry, lodging accommodation, dinners, sale of temperance drinks, and so on. In fact, if Lord Windsor were a public) trust instead of an individual, and the pariah were a town, the plans of the Bishop of Chester's Association for Public-house Reform would be almost exactly carried out. The experiment has been most successful. We very much hope that Lord Windsor will put the scheme in operation iu other parts of his property.
