LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. GRAKD OPERA AT CARDIFF THEATRE ROYAL. The operatic season opened auspiciously at the Theatre Royal on Monday evening with a performance of The Daughter of the Regi- ment." Donizetti's masterpiece has always been a preat faronrite with Cardiffiane, and its popularity is well merited, for there is, pro- bably, no ether work that combines the dis- tinctive qualities of grand and comic opera with such delightful results. The opera, besides being deliciously tuneful, has the rare charm of possessing a. romantic and lively libretto, and these inherent qualities, good as they are, were enhanced on Monday evening by the exquisite rendering given by Mr. Arthur Rousbey's talented company. Indeed, it can be truthfully stated that Monday night's produc- tion eclipsed all the previous performances of Donizetti's opera. in Cardiff, and the applause was refreshingly hearty. Of the many imperso- nators of Marie that have appeared at Car- diff. Miss Mimiie Leverentz is undoubtedly the best, and it would be difficult to conceive of a more perfect delineation of the Franch vivan- diere than the picturesque contribution of Miss Leverentz. What with her sweet, cultured roice. her natural vivacity, her pretty figure, and the extreme daintiness of her portra.Tal through- out, Miss A--evereitiz made an immense impres- sion, and was warmly applauded for her soiigs-" My Banner Victorious," The Gallant Twentieth," and "Farewell." Mr. F. S. Gilbert's clear tenor was heard to advantage in several stirring numbers, and a fine, mellow, and impressive "Seargeant Sulpice was give* by Mr. Fuller Allen. Miss Jennie Hellaby's Countess was splendidly drawn, in Act II. especially. The powerfulchorus and augmented band acquitted themselves admirably. This (Tuesday) evening the ever-popular "Bohemian Girl will be produced, and to-morrow "11 Tr ovatore is to be performed. GRAND THEATRE. The ever fresh and popular Pink Dominos was produced at the Grand Theatre on Monday evening before a rather small house. Doubtless, the many social gatherings which took place on that eveaing militated against a larger atten- dance. To describe the merits of Pink Domi- nos would be a wovk of supererogation. Suffice it to say that it aiounds with rollicking fun from start to finitli. and there is not a dull moment in it. Many of the situations are Frenchv" without being vnlgar. And the comedy ia one well worth seoing. The company is that of Miss Emma Hutchison. and includes Mr. H. Saker, Mr. Duncan McRae, Mr. John Russell. Mr. Percy Hutchison, Miss Hilda Clyde, Madame Fauchette, Miss May Vincent, Miss Lillias N. Earle, and Miss Minnie Griffen. Each evening the piece is preceded by the one act comedy-drama Mary's Secret," by Arthur Matthison." THE EMPIRES. CARDIFF. That no man is a prophet in his own oonntry" may apply to men, but it certainly does not to women, if its latent meaning is that ability is under-valued through familiarity with its growth. For the Teriest stranger could not have elicited heartier symptoms of admiration than did the whilom Cardiff girl, Miss Lucy Clarke-Elliott, in the course of her contributions to the Empire programme on Moxday night. Miss Clarke is a beautiful singer and a finished artiste. Her voice is mellow and its tones are true. She was very successful in rendering the delicate sentiment of that touching song The Moon- light Ladder." Two other ballads. "My Old Man John" and The pong yon sang to me." were equally impressive. Miss Clarke's per- formance is a credit to herself, to Cardiff, and to the Empire. She may be proud of her ability, and of the good use she has made of this gift of nature. Hughes and Farron, American artistes, contributed a smart sketch, in which were several plantation songs and Revene and Elton gave a clever and absurdly funny acro- batic act. The Brothers Lloyd on the tight rope were heartily applauded for the many and varied feats which they performed, and Miss Alice Ormonde, serio-comic vocalist, scored a decided hit with her catchy songs. Miss Mollie Thompson is an instrumentalist par excellence, and Professor Sloman, the man bird, with his imitations and exceptionally clever whistling, was a big success. Gallimore and Kenyou, a couple of eccentric duettists and dancers, were also heartily applauded. SWANSEA. Mr. Mark Melford, the well-known author and actor, appeared at the Swansea Empire on Monday evening with a company in his latest success. Desperation." The piece is remark- ably funny, and caused roars of laugh tor. The Brothers Webb. Continental clowns, play on various instruments, all of which they seem to have mastered, and in their coacertina selections from "'William Tell" and the marches and selections from the Mikado on the sleigh bells prove their right to the name musicians. Tom Bass, the comedian, singd a couple of very funny soxsrs, and the Sisters Wyatt introduce a couple of clever and original duets and dances. The Allisous contribute several remarkably staart dances, and the Athols give a Japanese entertainment which is very quaint and causes many laughs. Miss Lizzie Varana, a serio- comic, SlUb" and dances very well, and gained honours. NEWPORT. Very sensational, but exceptionally interest- ing, is the exhibition of the Maynard bullet- proof cuirass at the Empire Theatre, Newport, this week. The cuirass, which is the only one that has successfully withstood the impact of modern military rifles, is worn by a man on the stage, and who is shot at by members of the audience, and an invitation is extended to anyone to bring his own rifte or cartridge. The Lenton family give an extraordinary acrobatic display, and were loudly applauded on Mond ay evenintg. The Edene quartette—the four pretty girls who scored so great a success in the reoent "Cinderella" Pantomime at Cordiff- treat the audience to soms delightfui dancing, whils George Ripon, the well-known comedian, prove d as versatile as ever, and gained much appla use. The Arlottis contributed a capital com- sketch, and Harry Maxam, comedian and Polll Langdon, serio-coiiuc, were also successful PANOPTICON, CARDIFF. One of the principal features of the Pamop- ticon this week is Howard's electorajna, illus- trating the battlefiflcte of Corea and the Lwid f of the Ritdiij: Sun. Many thrilling incidents are depicted on the screen, and eongs are given at intervals by Professor Howard. The grand military spec-tack". "Queen and Country," is a train produced, the manoeuvres of the 50 local children being warmly ap- plauded. Another amusing turn is that of Dick Mow, a. clever comedian and dancer. These are only a few of the attractions at the Panopticon. Among.-1 other ileitis are the witch's swing; Magneta, an illusicn well worth seeing; the bicycle racer, the iiiagic maze, and the shooting jungle. The phrenological examinations by Professor Allaby are still con- tinued, and. in addition, the Empire entertain- ment^ can he heard through the telephone. Such a programme ought tc. attract everyone in search of an evening's amusement..

ST. ANDREWS RECTORSHIP. PROBABLE THERE WILL BE OPPO- SITION TO LORD BUTE. The "Sun" says:—The Marques? of Bute's re-election next autumn a* Rector of the Uni- versity of St. Andrews u. likely to be opposed. His lordship's rectorship has not been so suc- cessful ihS w:ip exp»ct«-d. Iii, efforts to break uie connection between itie uruveistvy and. the Dundee University College have produced much bitterness, and his supix>rtcrs and oppo- nents iu the University Court and the Senatus have for some time back been writing each other letters of a very ixnacademic nature. Lord Bute's object in trying to develop St. Andrews proper, tpart from Dundee. is, no doubt, a patriotic one. but his way of attain- ing his object does not seem to 1Mve erred on the side of tact. Still, he is tSe friend of St. Andrews, for his opponents would transfer the faculties of science and medicine to Dun- dee, apparently regardless of the fact that the other faculties would follow in a. generation or two.

EISTEDDFOD FOR IRELAND. TO BE FORMED FOFL ENCOURAG- ING IRISH MUSIC. The national music of Ireland has up to the present time (says the "Westminster Gazette") been much neglected, but a movement is now on foot which should have the effect of placing it on a, much more satisfactory ba",i". The move- men't is to take the effect of a. national musical festival (OL similar lines to the Welsh "eistedd- fod"). which it is intended to hold in lJuhliu. A committee ha*; been formed for the purpose, composed exclusively ofjnsh)mucic[a,nb,under the presidency of Dr. Villiers Stanford (wluo, we regret to hear, has been lately suffering from influenza): and the hon. secretary is Miss Arm e W. Patterson, the only Irish lady who has gained the degree of doctor of music by examination, and who is also one of tl)e examiners in music at the Royal University of Ireland. The work of the committee is likely to prove of importance for they mtend to encourage the publication of old Irish airs never before printed, as well as some which have never yet even Ivei: set in writ- ing: to develop a taste for song:< in the Gaelic tongue: to form a new school of Irish oom- posers ajid to give the public an opportunity of hearing old Irish tunes interpreted in the traditional manner.

THE TIN-PLATE TRADE. DEPUTATION TO THE GWEN- DRAETR DIRECTORS. As stated in our Saturday's issue, the men employed at the Gwendraeth Works waited on the directors on Friday to hear what they had to say concerning the re-starting of the works, the manager having stated that things had con- siderably bright--ned during the last few day. and that, they had been offered an order. The men were a-sked if they would work at a. reduc- tion of 1^2 per oent. on the old priced, and they agreed to this. Mr. David Evans, the chair- raan of the directors, then stated that, in addi- tion, they would also have to concede fourteen sheets out of every box.which the men held meant a, reduction of somethiug like 26j per cent*, and which they refused, although Mr. Thomas Davie-s (annealer) and :\11". William Evajis (a rollerman) proposed and seconded that they should do even this. Mr. Evans was asked for the 10 per cent, kept hack when the employes were paid off. but did not pay the amounts. Matters remain, therefore, as they were.

ALLEGED OVERCHARGES. THE CARRIAGE OF COAL ON THE TAFF VALE RAILWAY. In the House of Lords on .Monday (before Lords Halsbury, Watsou, Ashbourne. Morris, Macuag^itcn, and Shane) an appeal was commenced by M<ssrs. D. i>avi» and Sons (Limited) against the Tan Vale Rail- way Company. The appellant? own and work in poitant collieries in the Rhoodda. Valley, from which they raise upwards of one million toil. of coal pur annum, the greater part of y;hiell was conveyed by rail for shipment at the docks at Cardiff. Penarth, and Barry. The was cor, nWlIced by the lailway company for the recovery of £ 4,075 for the carnage of goods and £ 105 for other charge*. The appel- lants by their defence admitted the latter claim, Mid put into court £ 105, and resuondsnts accepted this as satisfaction of the claim in question. 1 he only plea put upou the record by the appellants with reference to the enrnage cf good.: was confined to such goods a, were destined for or coming from the Barry Dock and Railway Company via Hafod Junction and the only allegations made with reference to the disputed traffic were that the rates charged were excessive by reasons of the pro- visions of Stction 23 of the Barrv Railway Act, th' 1" ■"■"Ti' er.V+Vi 1 1 ci targe -47787d. per ton per mile, and that after charging that there remained due to the re- spondents £ 287 Ibs.. which sum the appellants paid into court. l'i (i-iou., to the trial of the nction the respondents gave notice to the appel- lants that they would give them credit for £ 2,300, ajid for a,'1 error in calculation of JS26 13s. 10d.. so tha.t the sum claimed was JE1,460 13s. 6d., in addition to the amounts paid into court. The appellants contended at the trial that, in order to ascertain the rate per mile applicable- to the dit-puted traffic tmder Section 23, they were entitled to divide the gross rate charged by the respondents for the carriage of like goods fro-n the Maritime Colliery to the docks at Cardiff and Penarth by the dis- tance from the said colliery to the farthest point in the Roarh Basin —The respondents oon- tcrded that the appellants could not set up by way of defenoe that the charges for the dis- puted traffic weiv in excess* of the rate men- tiontd in the section. nd that the section did not apply to the disputed traffic. They further HTgucd that the words "northw.M-d of Tre- forest" did not. include Hafod. and it Waf. also argued that Section 23 was an arrangement- between the Barry Company and the respon- dents. who :done could enforce its provisions, and that the appellants, as members of the pvblic, were not parties in any way to this arrangement, and, therefore, could not plead it vn defence. The cas? had not concluded when their lord- ships adjourned.

An income from £ 2,000 is to be mid to an old domestic, and after her death this will also go to the Holyhead poor.—A sum. of £10,000 was u- cently bequeathed to the poor of Holyhead by AIi- Hughes, of Bebbington.

The men were sent in tot: the lower bin to trim the malt as it came dowa-j thn? spout. They were all old emlaoyeeft Humphrey was 45 years ötd, and had worl-ev, eight years in the malthoiKe. Hit companions-i were Herman Summer sdorf and Charles Niederland. both of whoon have worked n*; ntaitlioyses many years and knew all th€R dangers of the business. Instead of gom& into the lower bin, in which there was DO" danger, since only a oertain amount of maft could pass in at a tine, the men climbed up tlw. ladder into the upper bin. Before doing .a they opened the spout and the grain began U» flow into the lower bin. All threo mea. jumped into the upper bin. Humphrey walked ever toward tie spot where the eddy- ing malt showed that the 12in. spout was, nicking it out of the big bin as the waste pipe empties a wash bowl when the plug has been pulled. His companion*- kfpt awa.y from this1 point, but did Dot consider that Humphrey, was in any danger until he gav-e a sharp cry. Turning they saw him hip-dt-epin the malt, nghfa over the spout waving his hands frantically. The two men went as near as they daired, apd frantically shouted all manner of directions and advice to him. Humphrey seemed paralysed with fright. He had sunk clear to his l-houi. dere before ooe of the men thought of trying to pass a shoved, to ham. and then he oould now reach it. Summeredorf and Niederland wem- frightened almost as badly ne the, sinking man, and tihey made the bin resound with their* vokes. No help camie- Tbec it occurred to cue of them that they might save Humphrey by shutting off the flow of grain, and he started down the ladder to the floor below where the spools were operated. The other man w-aa lei. aione with Humphrey, who was struggling with desperate energy, and sinking lower and lower. "Help me! Great God, help m-e!Q cried Humplurey, "I'm going. I'm going, I'nt going." Then the malt reached his mouth, and lie ceatsed to t ry out. The graan from all car-, in the course of another ten seconds it had. hidden him completely, and the grain whisht poured toward the spout heaped over him so-, that when tinrily the flow at the spout was ehutt off it was 4ft. deep above his head. and mora- than 2ft. above his haneL, which were stretched straight above his head. When the spout had been stopped a. dozen of his fellow employee hurried to the upper bin to drag him out before the malt strangled him But it is oertain that he was dead before the spout was stopped. Iiiir feet liad reached the floor of the bin right at that sides of the apoat. but his body was too large to.' pass, through. It took the men twenty minutes to dig the body out. The coroner was sum- moned. and had the body removed to the man home. He had been suffocated, aad the coronar made a certificate of death from that cftuee. Humphrey was a single man. HM foreman of the malt-house told the cmrooae he could not understand why the men should go to the upper bin, as he had ordered tluam to, trim the lower one. They had evidently goofe there to idle. They all appreciated the danger* of being suoked in at one of the spouts.

TOWY FISHERIES. At the Shire-hall, Carmarthen, no Monday Mr. A. D. Berringttm. Board of Trade inspector, held an inquiry into the following byelaw mada bv tbe Carmarthen Board of Conservators —■ Nn seine net shall be used in the River Towv above an imaginary line drawn from the north side of Pilroath Brook to tire barrel post on the opposite or south side of the said river. Any person acting in contravention of this bye-law! shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding £5 for each off nice."

EISTEDDFOD ADJTrDICA-TIOTTB. To the Editor of the "Evening ExPrsm." Sir.—While thanking you for your very kindly: not-ice of my letter on eisteddfod adjudications., may I point out that I was only alluding to; adjudic-ttions at the National Eisteddfod ? TIa. ao-called "local eisteddfod au" usurp a uamt, which does not belong v. them. Mr. Squewm* remark that "a ma.n may call his house am island if he likes holds good for those coflf mittees who dub their literary meetings "aiw teddfodau," or even eisteddfodau oadeiroL** Not long ago one of the competitions at a lID- called "cliair eisteddfod" was for the fattest pig. Yet I believe that pr; eisteddfod i" only really such when it has been proclaimed a year and a dav previous to its opening in the Gorsedd y Beirdd.
