MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. Eight Contests are Probable in the Cardiff Ward. Probably there will be contests in eight out of the ten wards at the forthcoming municipal elections, inasmuch as Mr. S. A. Brain for Grangetown and Mr. T. Morel for the South Ward will almost certainly be returned un- opposed. The keenest fight of all will be in the Ca thays Ward, where Mr. J. H. Jones (L.) comes out to contest the seat with the retiring member, Mr. Henry White (C.). As to the other wards, only a few alterations have been made in the list of candidates pub- lished. Mr. Yorath (C.) has defmitely decided not to stand for Riverside, and it is not- likefly that Mr. Enoch Gronow (Demo- cratic Liberal) will ooane out for Adamsdown. Mr. Hunter, who was named ai the Conser- vative candidate for that ward, declines to be nominated, so that up to the present Mr. James Munn (L.), the retiring member, is the only oandidate iu the field. Mr. A. Itig,edew is smjeu{iiape4,^ Conservative" candidaie for Cairboii, and Mr. L. Samuel as Liberal ] candidate for Roath Ward. CANTON WARD. Mr. Symonds presided over a meeting of the' Canton Ward Liberal Association at the Severn- road Board Schools on Wednesday evening. The attendance numbered about a score of electors, wbich included Councillors W. E. Van oh an and F. J. Beavan, and Messrs. Lloyd Meyrick (secretary),, J. Rog-ers, J. Slade. and W. Edwards.

SIR.—Iii three weeks' time the free apd enlightened electors of the borough will 'be called upon to select their representatives on the town council. A good deal has been written about the duty of the ratepayers to send wen of "light and leading'" to the corporation, and I thought the ideas promulgated would end in talk. And yet it is a. pity that the Radicals could not see their way to agree with the Con- servatives and drop politics in municipal elec- tions. Of course, it is hopeless to expect men of more weight and better standing in the town to come forward until the political element has been abolished, but. as the Radicals evidently think that the only way of keeping their supporters up to the mark is to have a skirmish in the wards every November, it be- hoves Uti as Conservatives to see that our forces are also brought into line. How do we stand now ? In the Central Ward we are to be opposed I by a gentleman who calls himself a Conserva- tive Home Ruler, which is certainly funny. To an outsider it looks as if the Roman Catholics intended strengthening- their hands in every public body. But are they Vise to oppose a. Conservative? Do they ever hope to get their eheols supported out of the rates as long as a Radical Government is in power. In Cathays there will undoubtedly be a stiff fight. Why has Mr. Joseph Henry Jones forsaken his former love ? One thing is certain, and that is that the Conservative workirg men will not forget the complimentary terms be used about their club some few years sinca. Since the Radicals have decided to oppose us in the Central and Cathays Wards we should certainly bring out candidates of eur way of thinking in the Roath and Splott Wards. What claim has the ceroner for South Monmouthshire to the suffrages of Roath ? Unless I am much mistaken it is an unprecedented thing far a coroner to become a town councillor. I should also like to ask the electors of Splott Ward what their represen- tative has done for them during the past three years. Roatk Ward could be won easily by either Dr. Trebarne or Mr. George David. 'Why don't they come out? In these days a little self-sacrifice is expected from the loaders of the party. I have not mentioned Riverside, the Park, or Canton Wards, because fresh developments are expected in those quarters.— I am, &c., ELECTOR.

CARDIFF IMPORTS. We understand that the Mayor of Care it? has received a very favourable letter in connec- tion with the movement for importing Canadian produce to that town.

It is now believed that Lord Windsor will accept the presidency of the ex- hibition, and arrangements have been made that I a deputa-tion shall wait on his lorcbhip shortly. J

FOOTBALL. Yorkshire Clubs Send Emissaries to the West of England. With reference to the visit of an emissary [ from a Yorkshire club to the West of England with the alleged object of inducing- a'Glorcester three-quarter to follow the example of Jackson, a correspondent of Gloucester wires that from personal inquiries made in Cheltenbam there io not the least doubt that throughout Monday not one, but two, representatives of Northern teams were waiting there in anticipation of au appointment with Taylor, the Gloucester three-quarter. They arrived at the Royal Hotel on Sunday evening, and sent a messenger to Gloucester with a letter for delivery to Taylar, addressed to an old member ;of the Gloucester cammittee. The gentleman te. hOI11 the letter was addressed being at church the messenger went there and waited until the service was over, when the two went in search of Taylor, whom they found on duty at the general post-office. An appointment was madè for the following- day, and the two emis- saries met every train from Gloucester with the object of meeting Taylor., The Gloucester officials, however, heard of the affair, and hurried to Cheltenham and the Tykes were undoubtedly frightened, and departed for the North. 6iir Gleueester correspondent has absolute authority for stating that the offer made to Taylor was equivalent to £ 6 per week. SWANSEA AND CONWAY REES. I Mr. R. G. Edwards, the Morriston captain, has been interviewed by a Swansea newspaper man on the supposed transfer of Conway Rees to the Swansea Club. Mr. Edwards denies that Conway Rees is desirous of playing for Swan- sea, or that he will play Qn Saturday next. I have bad na letter on the subject," said Mr. Edwards. but I saw Mr. Rees on Tuesday, and got from him a. promise to retake his place in the Morris ten team."

LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. Compton Comedy Company at Cardiff Theatre Aeyal. \Vhrlt promises to become one of the most agreeable items in Mr. Edward Compton's ex- cellent repertoire, "Sidney Carton," to wit, a play founded on Diokens's "Tale of Two Cities," was presented at the Theatre Royal on Wednesday night for the first time iu Cardiff with unmistakable success. Mr. T. Edgar Pemberton ha<s dramatised Dickens's tragic story with mast laudable results, and the play receives a delightful interpretation at the hands of Mr. Comptou's talented com- pany. As the self-sacrificing ba.rrister, "Syd ney Carton," Mr. Edward Compton contri- buted a ix>v\ erful presentation of the man whom Dickens himself describes as "dissolute, care- less and reckless, but capable of good things, jgentle things, even magnanimous, thingsi," rpd the play fittingly concluded with the sacrifice of "Carton's" head to the steel blade of the guillotine. Miss Sidney Crowe made a picturesque "Lucie," and the other characters were all capably presented- The play should attiact an appreciative audience at its next production on Saturday night, "The Road to Ruin" occupies the stage to-night (Thurs- day). and on Friday "Married by Proxy," a new farce that will be produced at Toole's Theatre. London, on Thursday next, will be produced for the first time in Cardiff. "A BI NCH OF VIOLETS" AT THE NEW THEATRE, SWANSEA. Mr. Bt-erbohm Tree's company is making a most successful stay at Swansea this week, and we should advise ail who have not seen Mr. G nmdy's stirring and literary nlay, "A I Bunch of Violets." to visit Mr. Melville's house this week. The play is a brilliant literary effort, is full of incident, and appeals to all classes alike. Mr. Lawrence Irving, second son of ITenry of that ilk. plays the powerful part of "Sir Richard Marchan t," and the other characters are nearly all striking impersona- tions. We confidently recommend this play to the public, for a better thing has seldom been put on the local boards.

ILLNESS OF LORD ABERDARE. At a, meeting of the Court, of Governors of the University College of South Wale. and Monmouthshire on Wednesday morning a. letter was read from Lord Aberdare apologis- ing for his non-attendance, and intimating that he was still suffering from nervous exhaustion, and that recovery was only possible by com- plete rest. He was sorry that the Dean of Llandaff and himself should be hors de combat a.t the same time.

SUNDAY CLOSING. ——— <i Scotsmen find a New Way of Evading; the Law. Mr. Labouchere in this week's "Truth" says :—I heard the other day of a novel method of evading the Sunday Closing Act which ha come into favour in Scotland. The would-be evader of the law goes to an inn on Saturday nig-ht and books a bedroom. He pays his half- crown, or whatever it may be, and departs. No law compels him to sleep in the bed he has engaged. On the Sawbath morn he returns to take his ease in the inn. He does not Come." alone, but brings with him other thirsty souls to spend, the day with him, and then it is a case j of "Willie brewed a peck o'maut." In some localities the hotels are crammed to overflowing on Sundays with bona fide travellers of this new type and their equally bona fide guests. So. difficult is it to make people sober by Act of Parliament

CARDIFF COLLEGE, Proposed Appeal to the Government; for 100,000 Pounds. The necessity for increased accommodation* to enable the Important and increasing work of the University College of &>nth Wales.and Monmouthshire to be carried 1111 with success and in comfort has long lieen felt, but with the establishment of new departments and'the- extension of the curriculum of education there the need has become so pressing that at a meet- ing of the court of governors on Wednesday it. was decided to make an appeal for financial assistance from the Government. The resolu- tion placed in the hands of Professor Powel. was a.s follows:—" That the council approach tke Government with a petition for a grant^-of money for the m'w buildings that are so urgently wanted for the proper accommodation', of the college." Professor Powel m submitting tlie resolution drew a dismal picturo of thy undignified shifts to which the professors- were? sometimes put in finding room for the -iifferent' classes at the present college- Dr. Yates, of Chepstow, seconded the resfltl- tion, and urged the importance of immediate, steps being taken to provide mcreasoo accom- modation.. He also urged the establishment of a school of commerce- Professor Conway vigorously supported the resolution, and pointed out that a stately and commodious building would create in the students a love and reverence for learning. He contrasted the miserable accommodation at Car- ,diff with the stately piles in, other large towns. Principal Viriamu Jones also supported the resolution, and remarked that in pushing this matter forward they would have to face a. large expenditure. They could not put up a, build- ing of a size sufficient. to cope with the develop- ment of the college for the next 40 or SO years under an expenditure of less than £250,000. At Edinburgh the building coat- £ 500,000; at Glasgow it cost nearly £ 300,000; Owen's Col- lege, Manchester, cost nearly £ 300,000. and the Liverpool building something less. The time was now ripe for taking action, and t-het ought to JJO to the Government and ask for, at least, £ 100.000. The Rev. Aaron, Davies also supported the resolution. The Principal, continuing his remarks, said it was time the spirit of Wales found expres- sion in architecture. If there was one defi- ciency in the Principality it was in the matter of public buildings; (Hear, bear.) With the exception of the cathedrals, Wales, architecturally, was Ell blank. The Rev. A. Tilly said there ought nat to be much difficultv in inducing 100 men of wealth in W'aie.% to subscribe £1,000 each. The resolution was then put and carried.

GOING DOWN HILL An account is going the rounds of the press* of an aged man {74- years), who for more than twenty years was afflicted with the painfully characteristic symptoms of inflammation of the bladder-gravel, scalding, retention, and acute pa.ir;-a weakness particularly prevalent among those in advanced years. His experience has been so remarkably that we feel justified in giving it prominence- He says "I am 74 years of age. My life hus. been active. I am well known in this town, and what I sav will not be doubted by anyone who knows me. In addition to the symptoms above described, pa.in developed in my Joins and extended up the back to the shoulder, fii.ally affecting the right, arm, making it pain- ful to even raise it. These pains had gradually increased during all these twenty years, although I tried many remedies in hopes of obtaining relief. A few months ago I saw an advertisement of Warner's Safe Cure, and read the testimonials of the cures it had wrought in similar oases, and determined to give it a trial. My faith was not great, as you may infer, after so many failures; but after taking six bottles it completely cured me. The pains are gone; I feel as sound and well asi a boy and as ever I did in my life. It is now three months since I took the Last bottle, and there are no signs whatever of a return of this com- plaint." There is no doubt but tltat this is a true recital of the case of Mr. R- Tanner, of Marine Villa, Newnhaan-on-Severn, Glouces- tershire. and it should be an encouragement to similar sufferers- Lei309

On Saturday night last a shameful outrage was committed upon the farm of Mae si lan. The gates were carried away to Pentreardd Far nd smashed; Mrs. Stephen's sheep wer: aoursed. and a valuable horse lamed. On Wednesday afternoon the remains of the late Mr. William Thomas, Greenfields, were interred at Llanelly C-emetery. The deceased gentleman was highly respected in Llanelly, where he had lived for over 30 years.

Telling Tall Tales. AN INCIDENT IN A CARDIFF HOSTELRY. "Hew a Red-whiskered Man Bluffed' Some Oid Hands at the Game of "Codding." I hope I will not be considered too cynical ,when I say that I consider Ca.rlyle was not far out when he referred to the population of England being composed for the greater part -of fools. He might also have added—and I make this suggestion "on my own"—that there is also a proportioaate number of liars amongst the bipeds who istrut their little .stride on this diminutive island. The story 'I am about to relate wall, I think, entitle me to the claim of having found a champion liar. The discovery was made in a snug bar pais lour of Cardiff. The company wits made up chiefly of old army and seafaring men, and they had all been going over their battles again and again. One old army man, in. fact, had so graduated in the art of "codding," not listen to his hearers, but also to himself, that this night, instead of killing two men in it terrific combat in South Africa, as inti- mated by him. shortly after his return to this country, tlie number had, on this particular occasion, increased to 122. Under the gene- rous influence of the wine-, the "codding" went on until a middle-aged individ ial, with red whiskers, who-had hitherto contented himself with ejaculating little grunts of im- 'patience, and casting eyes of pity on the different "oodders, suddenly broke through -the babel-of tongues -by remarking that when they-had all done;-he--would be glad of the, opportunity of relating "some very extraordi- j nary experiences that, once happened to him< i The-old army men and retired sea captain's having -exhausted their- etock, consented ,to give the red whiskered man Pvt audieoce. They re-filled -(their churchwardens, and, 'having iguited the tobacco, settled' them- selves down to listen to the man. who, by his manner, seemed to indicate that he was prepared to tell a tale that would put their own little narratives into the shade. Having taken a long gulp, at*, his B. andv S., the- red whiskered man commenced:— "It-was during my. -etay as a reefer in the: .Madras Reads that Lobtained* leave of absence; for a considerable:-time, and, while on shore; with, friends of-, unine, -I. was iixtroduoed toi J some officers at tlie Government House, byj whose fijrguence :-Itvras; made- acquainted with! "j the CovernOr. I soom ingratiated, myself into] his friendship, and, noticing that he wasjjr '] troubled in. his general' demeanour. I inquiredf j if I could be of service to, him iu any way. Het then related to ma how a rajah in an adjoining: territory had risen up in arms against th» British, and was threatening' their destruction, j and. tnat, unless a, friendly Indian Prince,; (i living in a territory beyond' that of un-i friendly rajah, couid be communicated with,; 3 the British population iitiustfommTOn woukl be; J annihilated, 1 was, I n ay say, of a. fearfceee-i 1 disposition, and iniioediiitply undertook toi- ) cawy dispatches to tie friendly rajah. Th«* Governor said he wished to consult lis oourt^ and lie-did so. While the court was deliberat-S m# over matters I was sitting alone, <rumai*fcingi! over the task I had agreed to undertake. ;-wa»<a terribly hot day, at leant 130 degrees ins the deepest shade, and I felt my spinal inarrovn v melted into thin oil, and rumung up and dowrfe i my back lake -quioksiiver icL a glass tube. In; • a. weax moment I changed my position slid went, oofc into the sun. I shall never forget the agony that indisoreetaction cost me. My head commenced to burn furiously, and my hair crumbled off like fried parsley. One of my domestics, having more presence of mind than the rest—who shouted in horror when they. saw me-ran into the kitchen and cut a large:- steak from,a raw round of beef, and laid it on the top of my head. Oh, how delightfully; soothing' was the sensation I experienced, and; 'how it hissed just as if it had been in a frying- pan over a huge fire. Presently it ceased tot ha.v.e the effect, and I got. it turned, so that the; steak was eventually completely cooked. E fried twenty pounds of beefsteak in this maniicr and then had a hole out in a round of beef,, which I put on my head, turba,n like, iMnd it was with this queer head-dress on tha-t I re- ceived the Governor. He was too pre-occupiect to notice it, however. He gave me the, dispatches, and I started-on my journey imme- diately. I will pass over the smaller adven- j turps that- I met with, and will say nothing of -the 20 or 30 natives whom I killed in the course of my long and weary tramp, and go on to relate an adventure which, I take the liberty" of saying, is more startling than any you have, ever heard of. Early one morning I was awakened from sleep-oo the top of a. grassy mound-by a series of roars, which, to my, practised ears, indicated -the presence of lions. I advanced cautiously to the edge of the; mound, and, on a. small plain below, gpottedi six fine specimens of the kings of the forest., In my excitement I disclosed my presence- to them, and they immediately "spotted" me. Two of them gave tremendous roars, andi started in pursuit. Luckily, I had pre-, viously noticed that I was near a prelmplclkt the edge of which was covered with brush-! wood, andi running towards it I threw on the brink. Not a moment too soon, for; the lions had taken, a flying lea-p in my direc" tion. They had misjudged their however. They jumped too far,' and wenftj over. I had hardly time to recover myselfc when the third lion, who had measured1 tlw distance more accurately, leaped towards raei I shot him while he was progressing through the air. Before I had time to reelma" my gun, however, the fourth lifsni precipfc* tated himself towards me with a mighi^j- £ bound1. On reaching the ground hie stumbled?* and that stumble dlecided his fate, for befoi^ he rose I had out his throat with my sabreCf I had still two more lions to face, and with;" out weapons, for my gun was some wafi from me, andi I had, in, my excitement diropped my sabene over the edge otf fW precipice. I ntever lost my presence of mind,- however. amd, backing myself against III piece of overhanging rock, felt determined) to sail my life dearly. I threw off my coat' x' drew up my sleeves, and! awaited create. ]$ did not have to wait long. for the remainiml two lions boundfedf in my direction siraul-i I taneously. In coming towards me tb#jr | described nearly an arc of aK-oirole, the highest*) 1 pa.rt of which was. above my head, and they descended upon me open-mouthed. Buttj I anticipated1 this intention, and; throwing? out both my arms as if about to strike blow, thrust both hands into their mouthy. and! as they descended "upon me with all their* force a-nd: great weight, my hands were drivm right down their throats. Then you. should have heard the coughing, spluttering, and heeketing—it was just like 10,000 pigs with potatoes stuck in their throaifcs. They tried every way to get. free, but it was nogood, They jumped until we looked like an old < fashioned weather cock, but I held my ground firmly until they gave up the ghost. Having recovered my exhausted energies, I resumed my journey, and, delivering the dis- patches, saved the lives of the population of j the British Dominion." t "I don't think you can beat that," said the red whiskered gentleman, winking prodi- • t giously at me, and then, seizing my arm, lie i bade me come into the bar and have-a-drink ? with him- We left the old army men and: retiied sea. captains gazing in wonderment after the "champion liar," and when the" red whiskered man had gulped up his drink j at the bar he wished me good night, savingly A "I don't think those old buffers will rental* <3 another of their lying yarns to-night—what' 'a| do you think?" » I thought to myself that the red whiskered man. had unconsciously supplied me with material for a good column in the "Eveniny Express."
