SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER S3, 1995. j CHEAP COTTAGES. To thousands of workers in South Walea there is no subject more important than that suggested by the heading at the top of this article. Cheap cottages "and how to get them, was the subject of a. confer- ence held at the Cheap Cottages Exhibi- tion at Letchford, Herts, on Saturday. How to design new areas and erect cheap and artistic cottages was discussed with enthusiasm by a gathering of social re- formers and members of local governing bodies from various parts of the country. There were present, too, representatives of Workmen's Associations. It is surprising how new reforms lead to old problems and old difficulties. It is impossible to discuss for a single hour the new problem of the day, the necessity of providing cheap cottages, without striking the old Ijand question. At the back of nearly half the social evils of the day we find the question of land. The necessity of decent bomeg for the workers is not a new problem by any means. It was the great problem at the beginning of the century, but it was largely a question of the country. To-day it is a problem of the agricultural district and the industrial centres. In Wales it is especially acute, for thousands of workers are unable to live decently and in sanitary surroundings. Even hovels and insanitary dwellings command high rents, and in many districts the Public Health Acts are a dead letter. There is need, then, for conferences on the provision of cheap cottages, ani providing them in such numbers that workmen may be able to end a decent shelter and a sanitary home in which to dwell and rear their children decently and with comfort. In the provi. sion of cottages for the workers private enterprise has entirely broken down, and such is the apathy of the administrators of the governing bodies that they neglect their duties in not putting into force the provisions of the Rousing of the Working Classes Act. The conference on Saturday appealed'to the Local Authorities to so plan new suburban districts for the working classes as to give theun more healthful conditions, to prevent overcrowding, to give gardens and open spaces. The chair- man of the Cheap Cottages Exhibition observed that jast as they could not get cheapness in food till they had Free Trade, so we should never find what human ingenuity could do in the way of cheap house-building till they had the experience of a large number of experi- ments. Evidently, we are on the eve of better things, wider knowledge and ex- perience, nearing the day of the cheap cottage and the possibility of a decent existence for the working classes. For thousands in South Wales to-day a decent existence is not possible, for the simple reason that houses are not to be had for money and that exorbitant rents are demanded and paid for hovels that are not fit to live in, and would not be occupied if the Local Authorities did theij^dat^' and put into operation the Public Health Acts, and with them the provisions of the Housing of the Workinp Classes Acts. There is no greater scandal to-day than the neglect of the housing of the workers, especially in South Wales.

_H_- The Bishop of Llandaff preached his first sermon in Cardiff on Sunday, and it .was made the occasion of a demonstration of members of Friendly Societies. The Mayor of Cardiff invited the Friendly Societies of the district tojoin withhim in a church parade, and being favoured by the weather there was an excellent turn ont. The Bishop improved the occasion by a sermon bearing specially on the working classes, and specially referred to the excel. lent work done by the Friendly Societies. The influence of the home and its import- ance in the lite of the children was specially emphasised, and the working men were given some sensible advice on the necessity of preserving Sunday as a day of rest and worship. In these times of bustle and haste there is a tendency to disregard the Sunday rest, and the workers will be well advised to insist on the pre- servation of the weekly cessation from work. The proceeds of a collection were handed over to the Jubilee Nurses Insti- tute, and so successful and helpful did the church-going prove that it might be -esta.b. lished as a yearly observation.

Incipient hooliganism is a dangerous thing once it gets the upper hand of the police, and there is a not of lawlessness such as has been witnessed at Leeds. In that great and important city the citizens ha?e gone about in fear and trembling of a. gang of hooligans, or several gangs, who seem to take a delight in maiming and injuring members of the police force. They have extended their attacks upon innocent women aud children, who were assailed when pursuing their callings or passing along public thoroughfares, in the ordinary way. The attacks on the police and citizens have been of a murderous character, and indignation has been aroused to such a pitch at the apparent helplessness of the police to protect the public that a special meeting of the Watch Committee has been called. Citizens are constituting themselves special constables, and parties are taking up patrol duty. This is an amazing position of affairs, and points to what was happening in Glamor- ganshire a little while ago before the magistrates realised the seriousness of the frequent attacks which were made on the police by rowdy and intoxicated ruffians, who appeared to regard a serious disorder and a breach of the peace in the light of Saturday-night amusement. So long as disturbances might be caused and police- men kicked at a costoE five or ten shillings so long these serious disturbances and attacks on the police occurred. Pont as scon as the magistrates realised the trend of things and increased the fines, sending some of the assailants of the police to prison, there was an improvement. The Stipendiary of Aberdare decided to deal severely with this class of offender, and put an end to street fighting. The position: at Leeds, where the hooligans have got out of hand entirely, has only been narrowly averted in Glamorganshire.

In a utilitarian and mechanical age it Is possible to work up some enthusiasm and general interest in a. Poet. The Crabbe celebrations at Aldeburgh have been the rueai.s of drawing the attention of thou- sands of newspaper readers to the fact that such a person as Crabbe ever lived and wrote poems of the people. Born in a. village, he wrote of the people and village lifo and institutions, and hia poems will repay atttution. The house in which the poet was born lies level with the sand, for the old part of Aldebutgh was long ago wiusiied aw^y b,y the encroaching tide., But the poem3 of Crabbe are left to us, and a good number of relics were lent by their owners to increase the interest of the celebrations. Crabbe saw the reality in Nature and man he gave the world real lives of the poor of the country and I not idyllic scenes and imaginary incidents. For this reason his writings are certain to retain their interest. The natural pre- decessor of Wordsworth, he stands in aline with Balzac, Dickens, and Thomas Hardy for the reality and truthfulness of his sketches of character. No doubt the cele- brations which were held the other day will lead to the issue of many popular volumes of his poems, but years ago there appeared in Cassell's sixpenny National Library at volume devoted to the poems of Crabbe, which was the first popular issue of his poems, and introduced the poet ot rural life and character to thousands of readers to whom Crabbe was not even a name before.

The season of the Harvest Festival has arrived, and there is not a village in South Wales surely where the service of thanks- giving for the bounteousness of the har- vest will not be held. The mellow harvest time fills our minds with thoughts of satisfaction and pleasure, with thankful- ness for the provision which nature makes, and the fraits of the earth which are hus- banded by man. But with all this joy of the harvest there comes a sadness and a period for reflection on change and the fleeting years. It is then that the religious service with its assurance and comfort is especially valuable and the sadness of autumn is made bright again with the assurances of religion and the eternal truths. The story is as old as man, and the assar- ance as certain as that there is life on the earth. For the harvest shall give place to the winter season of rest, and spring shall succeed winter and summer follow spring with all its promise renewed and hopeful- ness assured. The past season has been one of success. There was a glorious spring, a fruitful summer, and a genial harvest time, with even now every promise of a fine autumn and an Indian summer. With such memories and so much to be thankful for, one-half of the gloom and the rigours of the approaching winter are removed It is meet just now to hold special services of thanksgiving for the harvest.

SKETTY HOUSE: RANSACKED, Marauder Bluffs Postman. The county police ate busy investigating a daring barpjlarj which bas occurred at Skatty, near Swansea. It appears tha.t on Wednesday Mr Edward Jenkins, of Rose Cottage, Sbetty, and his family left borne for the day, una ou returning h\te in the evening found that the house had been broken into and ransacked from top to bottom, amongst tbe things missed beiDg JEi Ss 6d in maney, a watch aod chain, a silver pencil case, and several ether articles of jewel- Jery. Entrance had tieen effected through a side window, one of the panes being broken to enabla the catch to bo withdrawn.

Daring the time the meu were busy upstairs a postman on his rounds cailad, and after knocking at tbe ricor be saw a man's face at an upper window. Tbo person came downstairs and took the letters from the postman, who, noticing that be was strange to the place, askai him if be be'onged to the honae. Tbe roan coolly replied that he bad recently joined the household, the former manservant having left.

In the meantime, it has now been dissovered, the watch bad been pawned at Mr Levi's shop in Hoathiield-atreet, Swansea. The police have a good description of the man who opened the door to the postman and pawnsd the .tcb, and an arrest is momen- tarily expected.

Football Accident. I -8 ABERTILLERY PLAYER INJURED AT BLAINA. CRITICAL CONDITION OF D. BOOTS. D. J. Boots, who played for Abertillery against Blaina, at BlainM, on Saturday, met with an accident of a Berious character. Daring the second portion of the game tbe Biama for- wards quickly followed np a. free kick, and Boots Wol8 charged rather beavilv whilst receiving tbe ball. IT e was knocked out, and after recovering sonsewbat be was ab'o to walk to the Rolling Mill Inn, the headqnaiters of the Biting Club. Bat little notice was taken of the incident on the field. It was thought advisable, however, after bis arrival at the inn, to call in Dr. Dover, assistant to Dr. Beavan, of Blaira, and the doctor expressed tteS opinion that Boots was suffering from severe shock and presumably one or two fractured ribs. Boots walked subsequently to the Great Western Railway Station, and left bv the 8.35 p.nd. train for Abertillery, where be was met at the aiation by Dr Rocyn Jones, Abertillery, who bad been apprised of the acci- dent. It appear* that he has snsnined severe internal injuries, the nature of which is not yet precisely known. Boots was fall-back for Newport last year and is a brother of George Boots, the well-known Newport International. Both are of a well- known family at Aberbseg, near Abertillery. REFEREE DESORIBES THE MISHAP. When spoken to about the accident, Mr Geo. Jonas, Owmbian. who refereed at the Abertillerv v. Blaina match on Saturday, said that Boots was about to malte a. mark when he was charged by three of the Blaina players, whose names he did not know. The players appeared to be looking at the ball as it descended inrt not at Boots and the three, of them ran smack into him. Mr Jones actmitted that it was a vigorous game, but at no time did he consider it rough enough to stop it. Asked as to whether the statement that the men had been given beer before and during the match Mr Jones said that all he could say was that be did not see it. Abertillery Committee's Sympathy. The injury to D. J. boots was discussed at the Abertillery Football Committee meeting on Monday evening. A vote of sympathy was passed with the injured man and tho relatives, and the wish for a speedy tecovery ex- pressed. A vote of thanks was passed I to Mrs Jones family, and staff of the Station Hotel. Abertillery, for their great kindnt-su to Boots and others duting the time he was laid op there (from Saturday evening til) Sunday evening, when he was taken to the Nsvvport Ilospital). It was decided to make a presenta- tion to Miss Fanny Mason, the trained nurse, who dove led herself BO whoie-beartedly to tho case, rendering assistance of the utmost value. Miss Masou is on a visit from South Aftica to her palont,8 it AbertHJery, and R* 8ue is under- stood to be returning this wt'ek. it was resolved I that the presentation be made this evening, and that a few wen-Known local gentlemen should be asked to take part in tbo proceedings.

ACTRESS AND THE POLICE. The Case of Lilian Gray. At Olerkenwellon Tuesday Lilian Gray (25), an elocutionist, surrendered to her recognisances to answer to a charge of soliciting. The defendant gives an unqualified denial to tbe charge, and for tbe defence evidence* of a crane-driver was adduced. He stated he eaw defendant shortly before her arrest, and he did not see any man in the thoroughfare when she pasted. Witness atao aaid that subsequently the volice officer CI art came to bim and asked him to go to court and swear he saw a mart, aa he wus likely to be pro- ceeded against for perjury. William Veinon, of Lamb's Conduit-street, stationer, saia be hotd known defendant four or five years, and there had bean nothing in her conduct, so far 11.11 be knsw, to warrant the belief that she was other than a respectable woman. Several other witnesses also stated that in their opinion defendant was a respectable woman. Mr George May, a merchant, of Lamb's Con. duit-street, spoke to defendant coming to bis house 10 see hii wife on tbe nigbt of August 23td, the night of bar arrest. She left shortly after 11 b'clock with his wife. tiet followed, and defendant purled company with them at Lamb's Conduit- street. The defentlant was a respectable woman. Counsel fotftafendant. then summed upbia case, arguing that tbe police had made a mistake in regard to a lonely woman living in a bad en. vironment, He alsostrongly commented upon the declaration of Lbe crane mac, and tlsked what possible reason could there ba for such a. state- ment if it was uot true. The magistrate said be would give judgment ou Friday.

A FAMOUS FRENCH EXPLORER. Frenchmen of all classes would bear with regret of the death of CountjSavorgnan de]Brazza, tbo eminent French explorer. He was born in South America in 1852, his parents belonging 10 an old Italian family. As a boy his interest in travels attracted the attention of an Italian astronomer. Father Secchi. who gave him tbe mil of his observatory, and obtained for him a place in tbe Jesuit College at Paris. In 1868 he entered the Naval College at Brest, and in the Franco-German War ho took a part in the opera- tions in the North Sea and Msditecranean. In 1874 be was naturalised as a French subject, and a year later be was sent to explore tbe Ogove, a great nvev in French West Africa. He spent the next oic-lit years in exploring and M. de Brazza. annexing territory previously nnknown to Europeans. Hearing of Stanley's discovery of the Congo liver, de Brazza struck towards the northern portion of the fiver, and annexed it for Frwnce. Stanley protested with great vigour, and international complications ensued. At the I Berlin Congress of 1884-5, however. France I obtained practically all she claimed. His name is perpetuated by the trading station,Brazza- ville, which he founded on the north side of Stanley Pool. On his return to France, de Brazza was loaded with honours, and tinoe then 118 has been one of the principal supporters of Fiench Colonial expansion. Last April he was summoned from his retirement to inqnire into charges of maladministration in French Congo, and while engaged on this work he contracted the illness which resulted in his death at Dakar. The French Govornment authorised a State ftinethl. u

Shortly after 10 o'clock on Sxtarclay night Margaret Madden (55), living iu Victoria atrtet, Cardiff, clipped on a piece of orango peel near the Oomoiation Baths in Guildfoid-crescent, und fell, fracturing one of her legs, 3he was conveyed to the Cardiff Infirmary, and detained tor trortgnent. I

A Splendid Exhibition. FINE WEATHER, RECORD ATTENDANCE. j Successful Opening Day. The results of tbe opening day of the Cardiff and South Wales Horse Sbow of 1905 are of tho tnost satisfnetoty nutare, and tbe official* are to I be congratulated npon the splendid weather and record attendance which charnctexised this I function at the Sophia Gardens Field, Cardiff, on Wednesday. The outlook from a climatic point of view on Tuesday was far friru cheering for grey clouds seemed to promise raiu, but on ¡' Wednesday morning the pun roae in a clear sky, and throughout the day tho weather was ail that could be desired. The Officials. The officials were as follow :— Stewards.—General steward of yard, Mr C- H. Witiiams largo ring, Colonel Henry Ijewia Gteenmendow Messrs n, Forrest, Edgar David, G. C. Williams, W. R. Sbirlev, J. H. Howell, W. Cope, CL Lewis, Junr., J. A. Alex- ander small ring, Messrs J. G. Thomas, Evan D. Lewis, Sy. Robinson, W. Cope, G. W. David, H. Alexander, L. W. David. R. W. LeHil!, Sir F. Rose Price, and Mr A. Stevens financial and grand Btand, Messrs James Howell and D. T. Alexnnder, Judges. — HunterR-Coi. Ricardo, Donnington Eltus, Newbury C. P. Hall, Woburn, Bedford- abire Romer VVillianis, Newnham Hall, Daven- try. Hacke, hackneys, and harness horses—S. H. Carnley, Alford, Lines. D. S. Carr, Carlnke, N.B. Hy. Moore, Bnrn Butte, Cranawiek, Hull. Cart boisea—T. Chapman, Orchard Portman, t'aanton T, Ewart, Dunamoro Home Farm, KnKby II. R. Hart, Cannock. Staffordshire. Mr E. W. M. Corbett was tho horc. treasurer and Mr C. M. Berkeley the secretary. Excellent arrangements had bsen made by the officials, who, mindrnl of tbe big demands which have been made upon the accommodation of the grandstand in t-he past,had once more lengthened it by SO feet, bringing tne totnl seating accommo- dation np to between 9,000 and 10,000. Nor was this all, for they vOty materially added to the comfort and couveniellce of tbo Kpectatora by slight stiuctnral alterations and the provision of more comfortable seata, :dl of which impiove- ments were greatly appreciated. As is usually the case the morning was devoled to tbe judg- ing of hunters, hackneys, harness and heavy horses and tbe afternoon to those of a more strictly popular character, such as the jumping, double harness, tandem, and trotting classes. AnadditioDal" turn was this year introduced in the shape of a polo pony br ding race, and it may bo at onco 8!1id that this proved of tho most popular character. So lar as the standard of entries-wbich were 570-wereconcemed, it need only be said that they were quite np to the repu- tation of the pa«t--a reputation which places Cardiff among the first proviticinl shows ir. the British Isles. The hunter and backnev classes were both exoallent, while the other clatsaes wore all good, especially the jumping. In the yearling hunters Mr J. L. Nickissori, Swindon, was placed first, while in the two year olds Mr W. J. Tatem took premier honours. In tbe four year ojd, in both light weight and middle weight classes,that well-known exhibitor, Mr J. Diage, of Norhamp- lon, was first, and in the latter classes it is in- teresting to note thm a prize was taken by the Hon. Ivor Guest, M.P., Liboral candidate for Cardiff. Mr J. H. StolteB, of Market Hmborongb, alno took prominent place in the prize list in the hnnter classes. In the. hackney classes South Wcilos exhibitors showed aD well, notable among them being Mr James nowell, of Cardiff and St. Fagan'e. Intbeaingtetbarnets class exceeding 13.2 not above 14.2. Mr C. Kadcliffe, of Cardiff, repeated his success at Bath, his horse being driven by Butcher, of Bristol. The various events pafcsed off without aocident, save for an unfortunate occurrence in tbesinglo harness class (20). Mr W. McBride's New Beau was being driven round the ring, when by some means the beautiful animal became rsativo and broke oft tho shafts of the light trap in which he waa being driven, bnt no one was injured. Phehotses, taking their all round, made the finest show ever seen at this fixture. The yoang hunter stock was particularly good. The haok- neys, too, were very fine. It is worthy of note that hackneys keep ou improving at this show this is a notable and a striking feature. Mr J. llovvell, who takes so much interest in hackneys, look a ptizo in the open class. Generally ho bas comoia with the lecals, but this yaar he was second in the open class for brood mares with one of his hackuays The hackneys aa a. whole were a Vllst improvement on anything seen here before. The attendance totalled about 9,000. The number actually paying at the gates exceeded 5,300, which provides a record for tbe Cardiff Horse Show.

HUNTERS. IntheyeartinR fillies Mc Nickisson won with Success, which should some day malre a splenlid banter. The second prize went to Mrs Blockley with Princess of Wales, a fine> big, roomy filly, although a little low in the back. The tttint prize fell <0 M* ft. L. T^omaa'aiMaritana, whjph bus not samnch bone, bnt has wail-placed shoalders. The Thill judging was reversed in the two-year-old class. Mr Tatem's Penylan Orinerod, which was second at Batb, was hare placed first, beating the^Moor Grove Stud Com- piny'.i Sportsman, and Mr J. A. Mullona' Pale- facs. Polefaco waa first at Bali). Tbe tbrce- yeav-olda were not a particularly good lot. Tba judges selected Mr S. H. StokeÙ, Dorviache for first place. Dervische is a showy chestnut, and if hedoeanot make a hnntor should grow into a capital charger. Ho defented Mr Mullens' well- known Sheen, who won at Balb, and bas not often been beaten. Mr Arthur Masters' Hotspur was third, being the next best of a very moderate I balance. Wo have seen better classes of four- year-old hnnteis at Cardiff, bnt the btst was made of tbero. Mr Stokes's Ebony, a 14-stone blnck, was pluced first; he went in good form aud has more substance than the second prize winner, Mr John Draco's Klondyke. Mr Wm. O'Brien's Tiade Jealousy, an Irish bred horse, brought over from Cork to compete,wax vary wall beaten by those placed above him. In the f middle-weight huntois to carry lost, and not above 15s t, Mr John Drago bad u Rood win with tjricket Ball, wbo ia shorter in tbe leg and better in his bick ribs iban Mr Stokes'j Kiidare,who was second while be is equally as fine a goer. These are hotb hunters above tbe average. Mr A. J. Brown's Mallow, which wan second at Bnxton, was placed reserve. He is bniit somewhat more em harness lines than those placed abova him, but wasnever- theless unlucky to be beaten by the Hon. Ivor Guest's Pat, a useful stamp of hunter not over- burdened with pace. In ibe clasa for light- weight hunters In earry under 13st. Mr J Droge was first with Kletidvke, and the second prize went to Mr J. II. Stokes's Goldunint. a chestnut who galloped in groat rOf m. Perhaps tho nicest horse in the class, however, was Mr A. J. Biown's Kilwallock, a blood-like brown, fast in hiB paces, with perfect manners. In the beavy-weigbt hunters, to carry 15SE. and upwards, Mr J. H, Stokes provided the winner in Madrid, H chestnnt foar-year-old that was first at Bath. Mr J. Dr«ge was second with Carlow, a bay np to weight, but wantir.g in qua'ity, a remark which applies equally to MrJ, H. Stokes's Banker, which, however, in his gallop goes with great liberty. Messrs Msson and Brown's Luxury was well np to the stipulated weight and was placed reserve, while Colonel II, Lewis s Bill Bailey, a useful burner whbb looks like finding his way over country, WAS commended.

HACKS OR nJDING HORSES. The hacks or riding bcrsas commeuced with hackneys shown in saddle. Most of them were, however, more suitable for harness than for riding purnoso?. In the clasR 14.2 and net above 15.2 Mr Arthur Fevvson providad the winner in Prince Edward, a chestnut with fine action which held tbe same position at Bnxton. H13 immediate follower was Mr w. B. Tubbs'd Morning Gloa, » mare of good action, which aftorwnids carried off the premier prize in the hackney biood mares class. Another anetfoer, both 10 saddle and harness, was Mr S. R, Ten- ant's Authority, placed third. This animal waa a big winner ft Richmond when shown in leather. The next class was for hackneys 13 2 and not ubove 14.2. Mr H. Frank's Tissington Kit Cat was first here, having better action than Mr T. Morgan's RJajestic. Tbe latter is, how- ever, a very fine goer, and easily disposed of Mr W. Foster's Mel Valley Sneezer. In ponies not above 13 2 Mr George Griffith's well-known Lady Go Bang defeated Mr Totem's Penylan Eva, a very nice goer, showing a Jot of style. Little Briton, shown by Mr Robert Jones, per- haps one of the nicest riding hacks of the lot, wa« third. Tbe hackneys shown in saddle the properly of residents in South Wales and Monmouthsbire were a good lot. Dr. George P. Francis was first with Lady Dandy, one of his pair of harness horses that did so well at Batb. The aeuond prize winner was Mr David Evans' Memeuto, a mare that has won a considerable number of prizes both in saddle and harness. She was on this occasion shown afterwards in the local brood mares and was pfacod first. Mr Falconet's Ammau Empress, also a very nice gosr. came third- Tbe Gwalia Stud Company's Gwalia Qaeen was reserve, and other nice animals shown were Dr. Francis's Royalty and Mr Charles Rudcliffe's St. Nicholas, both bciug commended. The next class alno wus confined to Sonth Wales and Monmouthshire. Mra R. D. Evans's Lady Lofty, a very showy goer, who, however, throws her legs a little too much, whs first, and Mr C. Raticliffe this time took second place with BJorelind Ireta, the Gwali* Stud Company being third with Lady Roanie, which appeared to be more _*nitabJe for harness tbon saddle Mr Radcliffe's Maiie Tempest was strongly "commended, and Mr T. Morgan's Majestic, a very pleasant monnt. reserved. Tbe single harness horses exceeding 15.2 were a very good lot, probably one of the best classes in the show, Mr A. E. Evans was first with Princess, a mare of excellent bind and lore action, wbo went at a great pace. Mias Ella Ross came next with Rowton Blacktborue. a winner of many prizes, now beginning to get a little erale, not going with the same fire aa formerly he is 11 years old. The Hon. Mrs Ward ,-<as third with an animal of merit, wbo went straight an animal of merit, who went straight and well, and appeared to be eaoy to drive Mr J. Ker's Advertisement, which vaef reserve, 19 another faiily well known winner. OlbernDe traDpers shown were Mr H. Le march ant's The Only Way and the Gwalia Stud Company's Go Lightly, both being'commended. Another grand class was that for tingle har- ness mares and geldings, 14.2, and not above I' 15.2. Nothing came foiward to lower the colours of Mr Hartley Batt's celebrated Usatbfield Sqaire, wbo made a grand show. Uloxe up was Mr 8. R. Tenant's Authority, good iookicRi bay, which was a winner at Richmond. Anotbe fine stopper was Mr fl. Lemarcbant's CbieUIIO, and Mr Cbarl?s Radciffo secured reserve with Bravo, wbo perhaps WAS a little unlncky not to havo baen better pieced; he is a pl\1ticolprl1 lively goer, with find bind action, a'-id "poear to be a very pleasaot animal to drive. In tbl. clnss Mr McBride's New Bean got his lest over the shaft, aod falling smashed the traP to pieces, and "vas led off the cround txtae. next class was for cobs, Mr C, Kadcliffe, Carditii came to the front with Phoebe Walton, ceedingly hne goer, who won ut Bath. She bf a somewhat better hind action than Mr Fr*nB Tissington's Kit Cat, who divided Phosbe Wa ton from tbe aamo owner's Mario Tarrpest. M Kenworthv'a Woodley's Dorothy, a Z00" looking black, was reserve. Tbii mare was for- tunate to and herself in front of Mr A. Butcher » The Gentleman, a frequent winner in the weeC of England. Mr W. B, Tnbbs was first in tbe class for brood mares with Morning Glory, wbo had prevtonsly taken a second prize in the saddle. Mr -lames Howell came next w1'J Campanula, who haa an exceedingly 8°^^ action, using hot hocks as wyll as her kue^s. Lysagiit (Chepstow) was third with Titania« whose action behind is not quito of the besSi Mr Butcbelor's Rosette, a fine animal, wont wltb force, and beat Mr Lysagbt's Gold Flash, short-legged animal thut bas woa at this show on previous occasions. She was now atroop" commended. Commendation went aha to B" James Howell's Norbnry Duchess, a flashy g°et with foal at foot. In tbe next class, confined to residents of South Waleo and Monmouthllhire.

Mr Jame3 Howell took second plaell with an exceedingly smart chcatnut by Uoatdoff and Mr J. Beal waa third with Blanch former, a roan by St. Thomas.

Biooks was first with Noble, an dense brown gelding standiug 17'2 in heigb** which defeated Mr Peter Coat'n Clifford Victor, a shire of considerable merit.

THE JUMPING. The quality of tbo jumping was good, bot. few incidents, such as a horso going well sod (hen stopping dead before the wall, then walking through it, or refusing at tbe gale, sent lb* crowd into roars of laughter. Tbeie was no fair at th« water, the horses leaping splendidJ,4 only twice was a rider unseated, and then at tb. poles. Mrs Blockley did not ride Athboy. B6*! performances weto given in the first class, and thero woa cot a point to choose between thl three prizewinners on theicCrat time course, and the plaeings WLiTe made wfto* necoDd go at the water, style awards, which received popular favour. :1'b' champicri claaaes to-day are certain to produce high merit.
