SWANSEA'S NEW MAYOR. e PRIVATE MEETING OF THE COUNCIL. THIS DAY. A private meeting ef the Swansea Tewn Council was held at neon to-day at the Guild- hall, Swansea. His Worship the toayor (Colonel Pike) (presided, and there were present Aldermen Mason, Tutton, Martin, Naysmith, Chapmnn, Richards, Walter Lewis, and W. H. Edwards; Councillors D.

THE COMING FIGHT AT j ,SWANSEA.'l,',
THE COMING FIGHT AT SWANSEA. l, WHO SHALL WATCH THE EDUCATION OF THE CHILDREN. NOTES FROM THE DISTRICTS. The municipal Elections are now well over. Even the probability of legal proceeds ings arising out of one of the contests seems now to be a thing of the past. The field is thus olear for the struggle which the score of candidates for SeoOOt BOSfd hwiD^W evidently intend to wage, and we may expect to hear the alarums of actual war at àllY moment. These alarums were not very terrific throughout the municipal per.od. But it promises to be otherwise from the present moment until the day of the poll. No date is actually fixed, but doubtless the struggle will terminate about a week before the end of the month. There are several reasons why fighting should be Sharp and severe. For oue'thing, the voting is general, not divisional Tbea a. scere of candidates pitted, to all intents and purposes, one against the other, make things far more iiveiy than do a mere ^air of anta- gonists. Aud again,.party differences, ifrhfoh are absent in a lamentable degree from municipal work in Swansea, glow fiercely in School Board niters, fanned often into flame by the gust of denominational strivings. The seven Church candidates are already hard at work canvassing the several districts on wh-sh they are individually to depend for success. One and all anticipate a triumphant, if closely contested, campaign. The fine executive which has been formed in their behalf is composed of men who, from an organising point of view, are the pick of Swansea. As already announced in the Post the only candidate whom the Calviuistie Methodist denomination have decided to put forward in the town is Mr. Joseph Rosser. Qja this gentleman pressure had bean brought to bear for a consinerable time, and when at length h" consented to stand in behalf of the church with which he has all his lifb been identified, the Calvinistic Methodists became quite enthusiastic. Mr. Kosser is a member of an old Swansta family. For many years he has been closely connected with tempe- rance work, Rccbabitism, savings banks, and philanthropic institutions generally. He is highly endowed mentally, and, havin.plenty of leisure at his command, is undoubtedly the best man when^the Calvinistic Methodist demonination could have chosen. Mr. Roxcer's election agent is Ml-* 1. J* ^loyd/So'tci¥er,rY6rk^tfeelf.'?? Mr. F. S. Bishop, the scholarly hcpe of the Church party in St. Thomas, began work some time ago, and has already addressed Iltig meetings in Foxhole and neighbourhood. I Vigour will characterise any pursuit in which Mr. Bishop takes part. Arrangements, have niw been made for canvassing work to be actively pushed forward, in order that the randidate may find himself well supported at ^fery point in the contest. MR. F. S. BISHOP'S CANDIDATURE. A fairly well-attended meeting in support ef the candidature of Mr. F. S. Bishop, Was held on Monday evening at St. Thomas'! Schoolroom. The Rev. Wm. Evans presided, and was supported by Dr. E. B. Evans, Messss. G. Nancarrow, Walter Lewis, John Lewis, J.P.; C. Rowland, W. Walters and others. Tho chairman in his opening re- marks counselled all to make a special effort to return Mr. Bishop at the forthcoming election, feeling assured no better candidate could be found. He then called on the can- didate, Mr. F. S. Bishop, who, in a practical speech, sketched outa line of action to betaken by him in the event of his being successful at the poll, and concluded by asking those present not only to vote for him, but to do all in their power to get others to do like- wjge. Mr. Councillor Nanciirrew moved, ai-d Dr E. B. Evans seconded "That this meeting considers Mr. F. S. Bishop a fit and proper person to represent the ratepayers at thtt Swansca-Sehoot Board, and pledges itself to do all in its power to return him at the forth- coming election."—This was carried unani- mously.—The meeting then formed itself into a committee. Mr. Wm. Walters was eleoted chairman, tnl Messrs. P. Rogers and W. Peacock vice-chairmen, with Mr. Bzekiel Jankins as secretary. The whole of the can- vassing books were taken up in a spirit which augurs well for Mr. Bishop's success.

r SWANSEA PARLIAMENTARY DEBATING…
r SWANSEA PARLIAMENTARY DEBATING SOCIETY. LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT BOR IRELAND. The Irish question, like the poor, is ever with us. It beats the sea serpent by streets; it ever hovers about the political horizon; and, like the new woman, it lorces its way to the front with daring effrontery at incon- venient periods. It is one of those topics which has come to stay; it will be ever dis- cussed it may never be settled to anybody's satisfaction. The Conservative Government of the Swansea Parliamentary Debating Society, at this season, when the air is full or fireworks, fumes, and proposals to abolish the peers, has set itself tbe weighty task of passing a measure ef local self-government tor the "green race. Monday evening, at the Temperance-hall, saw its introduction. We wish it well. It is not so drastic as Mr. Gladstone's unique measure, but ——— The Swansea legislators evinced their interest in the question by attending last (Monday) night's sitting in small force, whereas there were over a hundred visitors in the balcony. We are not disposed to moralise upon this Isck of interest on the part of members; we have doue so before; it would be to the credit of the society if it were not necessary to do so IIgain. The Treasury Bench was full that of the Opposition was only scantily occupied. However, last night's debate was THX BFLAT OF THE SESSION. There was not a weak speech during the evening, and it was absolutely surprising to find that the debaters could extract such a. lot of good matter out of such a Lime-worn end thrashed-out topic. Preliminary business having been expeditiously despatched, the Depaty-Speaker, who continues to per form his responsible duties so admirably, called upon the Chief Secretary for Ireland.—Up got Mr. R. S. Liudley, who proceeded to unfoid the proposals ot the Government and take the tfMIM iatW his confidence with all L.x faith and assurance Ot S tncd and exp^ueneed Minister. His ■BK30UTTIQN read as follows -"lhatthe provisions of the Local Government Act (Rnghmd), with the exception of the clauses referring to the con- trol of the police, be, and the t ameure hereby extended to Ireland." lie said he con- sidered that it was unnecessary to go further. The Government were pre- pared to place Ireland ("n the same footing with England, Scotland, and Wales, with respect to self-government. He detaileu at length the plilwers Rud privileges which the ne>v measure vyould bestow upon the Irish I people, and conc.uded an admirable and eloquent speech by arguing that the proposal of the Government was one which ought to commend itself for acceptance on hoi 11 sides of tlieJlouse. (Cheers.)—Mr. A. P. Steeds, the j^re^dent of tke Council, having for filly seconded the motion, Mr. Edwardes Morgan' (L. Merioneth; commenced the debate FROM THE OTHER SIDK. He speaks rather pleasingly, and is always assured of an attentive hearing on all sides ot the House, He congratulated the Govern- ment upon having introduced a measure wkich was undoubtedly of a liberal character, but he twitted them upon a change of opinion. The Opposition, liowerer, were not able to accept the Bit!, inasmuch as it was simply an alternative for the Home Rule Bill, which the Opposition had submitted when in power, and that as an alternative it must of necessity be a failure. It was tooinsignificaut to meet the demands of the Irish people; it was too mild a euro for so great an evil.—At this point a lot of FIREWORKS were let off outside the iia.ll; it was at a very appropriate momont.—The debate was con- tinued by Mr. Sugrue (C. Mid-Cork), whose speech was characterised by a deal of com- mon sense. Alluding to the views of the Irith peopteon the question of self-government he said that in another place (he meant the Bouse of Commons) the Irish people wtr misrepresented. Who were the men that represented the Irish race there ? They were the paid emissaries of a foreign nation (cheers, cries of "No," and other noises). Mr. J. Thomas (L. Westminster) rose ou a point ef order, and the hon, member for Mid-Cork Im- mediately resumed his seat. Was the hon. member, he asked the speaker, in order in terming a section of the members of ihat honourable House paid emissaries of a foreign nation ? (Opposition cheers, and ironioat cheers from Ministerialists,—The Speaker; I understand the hon. member to refer to members of another place, therefore he 18 in order. (Ministerial cheer-)—Mr. Sugrue, well pleased at having successfully got his statement through, resumed his address by repeating his CHARGE AGAINST THE IRISH MEMBERS. —Up got Westminster't< representative again, but the Speaker, with the magic words, I have already ruled." soon put the veto on further interruption.—Air. Sugrue, in con- cluding his speech, said that as a Catholic and as an Irishman he maintained that the Irish people only desired to ba placed on an equality with the other portions of the empire, and to enjoy th same privileges, and that he urged the present measure bestowed upon them. (Hear, hear.)—The Leader of the Opposition (Mr. C. H. Perkins), who said he I had been unexpectedly called npon-a most I nusual statement to m;jke—res imcd the aebate. He said he thought the Govern- ment were still pursuing that system oI regarding Ireland as an inopablo nation. That was one of the grett evils and diffi- culties that the Irish had to face. Ihe Opposition utterly disbelieved any such con tentien. Ireland bad a right to choose its own form of government, and England had no right to refuse it. What use was the preset measure ? It would not satisfy the Irish people. They would regard it simply as an insult. They demand something in- finitely greater. The PMMa MXNXSTEK (Mr, C,H. Glasco- dine), who was received with chefcrs, said he wM surprised at the course taken by the Opposition with regard to that measure. It was purposed to give the Irish people the the same kind of BO!(-government aa that enjoyed by the rest of the peeple of this preat Empire — (cheers) and the d'rect negative was offered to that proposal by honourable members who considered "themselves the friends of Ireland. (Chews and ironiosl cheers.) Tlieir constitution had lor centuries been the ad- miration and model of other nations. They should, therefore, ngrte to no proposal which would disintegrate orimpair that constitution. Alluding to an argument which had been adduced that no measure ofsetf-goternment oouldbe termed such, vrnich did not give to Ireland the managemeniof its police force, the right hon. gentleman reminded niewbers on the other side of the House that Mr. Glad- stone's measure did not even permit this, therefore, why should the Government rusn in where that eminent statesman feared to tread. (Ministerial cheers.)—Then came a bit of a sensation. The Speaker called upon t) e lion, member for Batterses. This local John Burns turned out to bo ML JDORGAIR HOPKINS, so the Post reporter, who termed him last week the labour tribune, was not far out. Mog" was received with cheer*- and with all the self assurance im- a</in«b:e he forced his way through the chairs wllid. separated him from tho front opposi- tion bench, and commenced a very interesting address upon the Irish question Mog had evidently very careful,y studicu the rules of Parliamentary debate, and referred to Mr. Speaker,' "the right hon gent'eman "honourable member*, "th.n honourable house" with all tii", airs and graces of an old Parliamentary hand. Members thought of the Swansea District Seat and wept. Lie cr6'^d A BIT OF EXCITEMENT in making the statement that tne estates of I certain absentee Irish landlords were Pledged up to the hilt with Loudon Jews. The Attorney General tried to get him put in order by the Speaker, but the I litters ruling was in the hon. member for Batte-eea's favour. The debate was resumed hv Mr Rocer Beck (Chancellor of the Ex- chequer), Mr. W. W. Holmes, and Mr A. P. Steeds thouch there were repeated cries from the Opposition benches to divide. There wah almost a crisis, as the opposition were in the majority, and the Speaker for some time refused a motion for the adjournment of the debate, which, therefore, had to bo kopt I going, although nearly all the eloquence had evaporated. Eventually.however,the adjourn- I ment was moved and carried, and an in- teresting, instructive, and entertaining sitting concluded. lew—i———mmmm

LOCAL SIFTINGS. Some 300 "cures for a cold" have come to hand for our competition. The award will be published in Wednesday's issue of the POllt. Next Friday being Lord Mayor's Show Day, the Great Western Railway are running a cheap excursion to London on Thursday, par- ticulars ef which are given in our advertise- ment columns. We understand that Dr. Morgan, chairman of the Swansea School Board, intends invit- ing the teacbers and assistants employed under the Board to a soiree and conver- sazione, which will be probably held in the Albert Hail, about the 21st inst. Mr. Robert Forrest, J.P., is engaged as adjudicator in an arbitration ease in which Mrs. Llewelyn and her son, Mr. W. Llewelyn, of Baglan Hall, claims a sub- stantial sum from the Rhonddaand Swansea Bay Railway. The hearing, which id taking place at the Mackworth Hotel, is expected to last over to-morrow. All the retiring members of the Mumbles Local Board except Mr. Nicholl Morgan, Mr, F. S. T. Lucas, and Mr. Dl. Clement; will seek re-election, it is said that Mr. H. M. Hedlev, Mr. Hannaford, Mr. BucKnall, Mr. Isaac Lloyd, and Mr. James Lloyd are candidates for seats on the new board. It is stated that Mr. T. W. James will be asked to accept tie chairmanship. It was stated at the Llaneliy Local Bonrd meeting yesterday that the work of covering over the west portion of the market would Iw commenced in January and completed by the <.nd of February. We understand tha Messrs. Lvsa^ht, the contractors, iiavealready obtained tenders from local builders for the masonry work. As a married woman, named Esther SauL livingat Market-street,Morriston,v. as entering a tramcar, about a quarter past four on Monday afternoon, outside tLe Daily Posi Offices in High-street, she was knocked down by a trap which was proceeding towards tht centre of the te^vn. She was struck violently to the ground, and sustaine < injuries to th head, right hand, and shoulder. It is fo?.re; that the injury to the should T is sc-rious. The woman was taken into Kecs's refresh- ment rooms, and then conveved to the Swansea Hospital. A few da s ago a paragraph appeared i the Post to the effect that the fight betweer. Dr. William Morgan and .Mr. D. Harris for the chairmanship of the Bo^.rd itioif. and that an arrangement has been come to allot- ing the honour to Mr. Christopher James, in case he should he elected. Dr. Morgan now informs n;c that the flgbt mi s! necessarily be off since it was neve;- really on and that, as far as he is concerned, 11' arrangement has been made to parcel Oll; offices in a Board on which, it is within the ranga of possibility, neither he, Mr. Harris, nor Mr. James may find a seat. In fact, the whole paragraph may, according to Dr. Morgan, be described—m the words used by the late Chief Justice CoJeridgQ to a woman who called Mr. Bowen Rowlands My lord"—as a little premature An epitaph for the Llaneliy Local BoarC} which is now in its death throes, has beet constructed by Mr. Brodie, who in the course of a paper on the Parish Council's Act, sa'd I that the Act would not make as manychangef in towns and urban districts as in the country, the reason beiag that the towqs had already got very full powers, and did not therefore need those wh c: are now given la U^e dis- tricts. The best way to show how it did affect towns would be to show how it affected their own town of Hanetty. The Llaneliy Local Board of Health v. euld disappear, and its place would be taken by the new Urban District Council. It was not his duty to preach the funeral sermon of the Local Board; such of its members as desired to le elected on the Urban Council would do that, and they would doubtless try and prove to them that the Local Board had lived a blame- less life, and ought to be buried with public honours, and havo engraved as its epitaph on its tombstone: "Died of hard work and much talk: Greatly regretted by all who knew it.' The pairiarch of Swansea postmen, Mr. John Tucker, who has been for 40 years engaged at the head oflice at Swansea, expired suddenly a few aavs aco, and his remains were on Sunday laid to rest in the cemetery at St. Thomas. The funeral cortege was followed from the deceaseds house in Western-street bv about 100 of the outdoor staff in uniform. The coffin was hidden beneath a large number of wreaths one of which came irom the outdoor stuff, and another from the clerical staff. The ceremony at the grave>i-ie was p rforme by the Rev. George Smith, pastor of Pell-street Chapel, and hymns were rendered by the Blue Ribbon Army Choir en route to the graveside. Amongst those who attended were. Dr. Ebenezer Davies (medical officer attached to the Post Office), Mr. H. Basnett. Messrs. Chapman, J. Howells, H. Beynon, D. Evev, S-Lucus, A. Williams, D, Rowlands. S. Williams, A. G.

It may be of public in!e e to know the clause on which f-uuns has based his opinion. This is contained in the 10th Section of the Commissioners Clauses Act, 1847, which is incorporated with the Swansea Harbour Act of 1854, and reads as followsProvided abi ays that no person being a shareholder or member of any Joint Stock Company established by Act of Parlia- ment shall be prevented from acting as h commissioner by reason of any contract entered iuto between such company and the 'I commissioners; but no such commissioner, being a numboroc such compnny, shall vote on any question relating to the execution of I this, or the special Act in which such com- pany is interested." For the Glamorgan Assizes, which com- mence on Tuesday next at Swansea, before Judge Lawrence, there are only 66 prisoner's awaitnigtrial—a number considerably smaller ¡ than were arraigned at ths last assizes, but large enough in all truth, Unfortuiiaieiy the ¡ severe strictures which ihe judge in .Ju1y I last uttered with reference to the heinousness of the calendar are a^a'n justified.

THE G.W.R. A XD THEI RHONDDA…
THE G.W.R. A XD THE I RHONDDA RAILWAY. I THE QUESTION OF RUNNING I, POWEilS. FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE SUBJECT. I REPLY TO SIR JOHN J. JENKINS Tn our issue of the 23rd of October the Post ave a report of interviews obtained with Sir John Jones Jenkins a'.1d an official of the J.W.R. on the subject of the alleged offer by the Great Western Railway ef running powers for Rhondda and Swansea Bay Com- pany's passenger trains over their line in the first instance from Port Talbot to High- street, Swansea, and subsequently from the junction near ttt" Neath River bridge te the East Dock passenger station. Sir John ad- mitted that these offers had been made, but a:ded that they reached the Rhondda and owaugea Bay Railway too late to be of any practical use,' the Rbondda Railway having constructed their owri line. Thus the matter resolved itself into a question of time pure and simple. Commenting on tbe master t.he same Aav, the Post observed — Now. if it should fee shown that the Great I Western Railway made a genuine offer of running powers to the competing line, it ollows that the charges levelled against the Paddington directorate must to a great extent fall to the ground. We emphasise the term genuine offer,' since the issue has new been narrowed dewn to the nature of the offer. Sir John Jones Jenkins admits that running powers were offered, but adds that it was not until the line had been constructed be- tween Swansea and Neath did the Great Western Railway make their proposal. In I fhat event the offer was not genuine, and cannet be counted for righteousness by the ompany. Consequently the controversy turns entirely upon the date of the offer. Was this before the completion of the hue between Swansea and Neath, or before a considerable proportion of this section had been completed. It is a point which fortunately lends itself to easy aud effective I tests. ISio efforts will be wanting on our part cO have the test applied. For ence, at ail events, the conflict of testimony is of such a character as to afford means fordemonltrating tne trustworthiness or want of it on the part of the companies. A specific charge has been made, one which, if unwarranted, can be shown te be so." I w. are now in a position to redeem our r<romise to apply the test. We are informed I by a G.W.R. official whose authority is beyond question — That arrangements fur the Rhondda Com- pany's passenger trains to run over the Creat Western Railway via Port Talto^ u> High- street Stat ion were practicaUv settled as far back as August, 1890, when the Rhondda and Swat sea Bay Company threw up the arrange- ment on the question'of the catch points re- quited by the Board ot Trade, and went to Parliament for an independent route te Swansea. As regardsthe subsequent offer of running powers from the junction near the Neath liiver B, idge to the Great Western Railway's East Dock station, Swansea, this was made to túe"}QK>ndda Swansea I' Bay Company on > August 4th, 1893, lont; before that company could put i i force the powers of ti^eir Act, obtained aito n ,893, for the construction of their line w II Swansea. The statement of Sir J. J. Jenki.is t.iut if the offer bad been accented, the I iibondda line would have been idle appears o require some expi.uiRtion, tortt has been contended by the iihoad.ia Company through- out that their Lne to Swansea was chiefly ier the purpose of bringing coal to the docks from the Rhondda VaJl.-v, and it would be of the greatest importance to Swaust a that the coal traffic at the docks should not be ham- pered with pasiseu^er trains running over the oval lines to L:c Prince of Wales Dock, indeed, the powers who direct the working oi the coat traffic at the Kreat docAs at Cardiff, Penartii,Bany, and Newport, wouid ns«rer dream of allowing such a state of things." In view of the foregoing, tfte Rhondda Railway directorate have to contradict the statements fi.B lo the date upon which the running povers are alleged to have, be-n made, to show thut tho '.a uc ot the offer w.ih impaired by some cousidci utiou not disclosed I in r 1-he above, or to aliow judgment to go against ibem in default.

FOOTBALL NOTES. 10 [BY "FMW LAJTCS."] On Saturday next we shall see the Swansea skipper in his proper position for at the meet- ing of the Swansea Club held at the Long- ian«U Hotel last Monday evening it was de- cided after considerable discussion to move Thorogood to full back and to play Crocker the second with his brother at centre three- quarter. As stated in this column yesterday Coke's leg will prevent h s playing for the- present so that his place will be taken by Messer. Three Danygraig three-qnarters will there- fore play in the Swansea team that is to meet Llaneliy next Saturday, and apropos this fact it is interesting to remember that these men appeared in the Danygraig theeequarter I line a year ago when that club inflicted a defeat on the famous Llaneliy Seaside Stars, which at that time contained no less than a r dozen of the present Llanelly team. In foot- Vall also it is a true saying that history repeats itself! Unless I am much mistaken, thit last and only too long delayed action of the Swansea officials will bear good fruit. Another matter of considerable interest that ca i O ip at last night's meeting was that of tht* proposed amalgamation of the Danygraig (X^b with that of Swansea. It is now some weeks since 1 suggested that such an arrangement might prove of mutual benefit to the ch. 'bl in question. As stated above, three Dany-Crsug men appear in Swan- sea team on S tj\"d^y, and there is little doubt that the inc!1sion of others of the Easttiders in the Swansea Second String would materially contri bute to tbe efficiency of tfee latter combination. A small deputation fron. 1 the Danygraig Club waited upon the Swansea Committee last (Monday) evening, and thO latter favour-j at-Iy regarded the suggestions a the deputa- tion. After seme discussion, it aereed, Subject to the approval of the .V^anygraig Committee, that the amalgamation «. some- what on tbe following basis :—That .Messrs. Stephens (secretary) and Wilson (ca|L,in)- of the Danygraig Club be ;tdd?d to the S>x^n- sea second team committee, and that t be Swansea Ciub do their utmost to find plaeeV for tbe Danygraig players in the Second and Reserve teams. J The unfortunate termination to the Swan- sea v. Newport match at the St. Helen's Ground on Mir :nv. was brought about by one of these l.uit* incidents that will happen in the best regulated families. It is for tht) Swansea officials to it voke the aid of the law in mailing an example of tiie offenders, and t:) so strengthen the rails between the spectators and the field of play as to render a recur- rence ofsupil an event impossible. Eo far as the first question is concerned, Lhe Swansea officials are in the unfortunate position that Mr. B.en, the touch-aao um- pire, who was assaulted, was unable to identify his assailant. There iii, however, another road whereby they may proceed. A man in the crowd named Davies is alleged, on the evidence of a police officer to have incited the crowd to-go ior "Frank Mills, j I ear that the Swansea Club officials are of two minus w nether to prosecute or whether to let the matter slide. Some of tlmm advo- cate a policy of inaction on the plea that the extra publicity rpGessardy given to the affair mcy influence any action that the Welsh Rugby Union may take in the matter at their meeting this week. This argument is weak in the extreme. The Welsh Rugby Union will naturally ast what the Swansea officials have done towards making an example of those whose unsports- manlike and ungentleinanlv conduct WaS in the main responsible for Saturday's occur- rence. If they find that the Swansea officials have taken every step in their power to prevent the recurrence of such an untoward incident, they will be far less likely to take i any steps in tbe direction of tbe suspension of the ciub. Let the Swansea officials. therefore, take out a summons against the man Davies without delay. 6' It is to be hoped that the Swansea comf uiittee wiji no* become panic btricken at the very severe defeat sustained by their club at. the hanas of Cardiff on Saturdiiy. The whole- Pale changes in the fcetwn that were advocated by some of the spectators ou Saturday would, if put into operation, on!y result in a worse show. It is true that certain sligiit alteration could be made with advantage. It would be unwise however to judge theism by their display on Saturday. The result of tiie mateh was of course a keen disappointment to the home supporters, but the display of the All Whites was not entirely calculated to make one despair. Of course, Llanellyites were quite clelighted with the performance of their pets-T It was the general opinion that the Reds joiayed a better game on Saturday than they huve done hitherto this season. The Pontypridd team was not that weak combination supposed by many, and the score is representative of Llanelly's strength rather than of Pontypridd's weakness. The fact is that Llaneliy footballers%are beginning to realize that ft-the tin-plvte town-haa this season a team, which in j point of skill, have never beet, excelled at i.lanelly. It is not. a» combination dependent upon one o^f.two* brilliant performers, but upou the high tsiand- ard of merit attained by tbe fi? teen as a whole. combination dependent upon one o^f.two* brilliant performers, but upou the high tsiand- ard of merit attained by the fitteen as a whole. Ben Davies. Cliff Bowen, Badger, D. Morgan, and Evan Lloyd, are backs capable of shining in good company, but their distinctive merit: is in the way, tollerl- work 6tti in witu t.;e gen- eral style adopted. Next Saturday there will be a battle royal at Mradey. The Llanellyites al e naturally | confident, and anticipate producing a creditable break in the long list of defeats tet to their Miscredit by Swansea in recent years. They cannot afford, however, to be unduly sure o! the result. The All Whites" are a much better lot than Saturday sdefeat are a much better lot than Saturday s defeat makes them out to be. Their play HI the first batf proves that. It is but rarelv that the Swansea team goes down with such I a stump as it did on Saturday, and the chances are against the reptition cf the massacre. If the teams play the open gaine they both effected on Saturday ana t. e weather be tolerably i. oad, I expect the matca will be worth going a few leagues to see.

However, for some infringement, the Mid-District were 1 jpeoaliscd* and tbt ball WM G_" the line, Joe Davies returning splendidly to the centre with a firing kick. After the kick-out the ball came into the hands of Badger, who ran down the field brilliantly, and eventually passing to Cliff Bowen, the latter was caught before he could get away. A scrum was now formed in the Mid-District 25, one of their forwards kicking the ball wildly. It fell into the hands of Joe Davies, who made an excellent attempt at geal. but a minor only resulted. Trick kicked out and one of the Western men failing to return aseries of scrums ensued. In a few minutes however the ball got loose and Cliff Bowen securing, ran magnificently along the touch line ju-t in ti>o nick of tinie to pass to Badger who dashed over the line with a couple of his opponents on his back.

Getting the ball from the scrum Ben Davies I passed to Cliff Bowen, who got away again amid applause. Just as he got clear of his opponents, however, he lest the ball, and the scrum was formed near the 25 fiaj. The ball again £ Ot out on the Westerners' side and Evan Lloyd was given possession, lie was floored before he could I make much headway- A few moments later, Ben Davies initiated another round of parsing, and Charley Steer, amid applause, made for his opponent's line at great speed, j Instead of re-passing to Evan Lloyd he kept the ball, with the result that he was collared in possession and pulled back from the line. here a scrum was formed, and the Mid- District men forcing their way through toofc the ball at their toes to the centre. Dai Morgan here got bold and gave possession tc Evan Lloyd, who rounded his opponents beautifully, and started a magnificent bout of passing among his own men, Bill Morris, Ben Davies. and Badger being cbieflv con- ■ispieuous. DY some loose play iu mid-field, the Mid-District men eianxgcd to get the upper hand, and made a hot attack on the western line. Tbev, however, cleared their line nicely, Jim Reynolds being responsible for a pretty dribble along the touch lino. From tiie scram at mid-fish' Dai Morgan gave the oial to Ben Davi. s, who ran prettily and passed to Steer, Vlho next threw to Evan jjoyd who ran gran^l,' down the ground amidsi: appiiuse.

I After an absence ot some weeks, old Sol made a welceme re-appearance on the Neatb fiold on Monday, where the West and ^Mid-District teams met to reckon up tbeir chances for inclusion in tbe Welsh international tenm. Both teams were very different to those wbicb had been advertised to play, the Mid-District, suffering most by detentions, At the outset tfee Mid-District, thanks to some lofty punting, liept at the I Westerners' end. but in a few moments the I machinery of the Western rearguard v. is put in motion, with the result that u series of fin* runs by the threequartere kept the Mid backs busy. During the first half-time the- great feature I of tbe game was tbe repeated ruahes of tbe Western thr^equarlers, and as play was very open, tbev had plenty of opportunities to shine. In sad contrast with tbe machine- like regularity of tbe Western passing, wss tbe displitv of the Mid-District backs, who were as disappointing a lotas coaid very well be. In the pack the Westerner* held no great advantage. Joe Davies was called upon to negotiate the I first try scored by Badtrer. The position v.as by no means an easy one, but the kick was a capital one, the leather jnst missing the '•mark." i Howel Jones, the Neath forward, wfae did duty for the Mid-District, played in capita! orm. He was always a thllre" whe. wanted. and his dribbling and tackling were both good. It was universally conceded by all who saw t ;0 ii.atch at Neath that the Llaneily •• iieks were almost entirely responsible for .'1 that was pretty and at- ract ive in the game. xNO one realised this more than the caiol, officials having the management of the teams, for no sooner than the ends had been changed thau tde L'anelly three-quarters and half- backs were taken bodily from behind the Western pack to play lJehinct tbat of the Mid- District eight." Badger was in magnificent form, and hi? play was ouc of the bright features of the match. Ben Davies aiso played" clinking game, bis coupie of tries being very prettily got. Dai Morgan behind the hcrum never showed up to betie: advantage. N:ne times out of ten e manai;e(i, by his clever tactics, to girc the bull to his third line, and this when playing behind two different packs. Evan Lloyd brought off a few of his characteristic run?, and as usual was as safe as a. house. Ciiti Bowen played it grara game, and beared with Badger the distinction of being the bed three-quarter on tne field. The Llafuliv forwards — Bill Morris, Jack Jones, and W. J. Thomas were much in evidence throughout, the former being especially conspicuous. Charlie Steer did much to -poil the combination of the Llaneliy three-quarters, sticking to the ball repeatedly vhe.i ha should have passed to his wing man. It b significant that about three out of the four tries were scored by the famous scarlet runners Some nasty remsriss were passed abort the absence ot Fred Hutchinson frcr. the ranks of the Westerners, if it were possible he wv.i'.d L .ve played. But the iniury io hi. left shoulder sustained at Bristol hist Satur- j will probably prevent liim playing for some weeks. Johnny WiiiiaMs. who plaved such a brilliant game against Bristol on Saturday, was very keen on ihe defence d&r.Rg the first half. In bringing dowu Exbn Llovd bv the leg lie saved tbe Middles a certain try. Iu the firfct portion of the second half Joe Davies was a bit rocky.' Towards the con- clusion, howexer, be pr uned up, rnd his defence wss sound. BcwcJ Jci es scored a try. This dessrvea a paragraph all to itself. Charlie Steer was responsible for a brii j liant sprint in the early stages of the game, It was, h.»wever, marred by a failure to pass to Evan Llovd at a critical moment. Had he transpired, t' e luttor vojid probably have) pifn-c i a second try to tha credit of the Westerners. At the eleventh hour Jim Reynolds, or Neath, was secured to fill up a gap. Ho mu.,1e up the required complimcnt of the Miè.- Dibtiict. Fifteen. JInra display was not oniv ornamental; he wits of grent service, bis dribbling being particularly strong.
