Mp, Charles Chislett is a coal merchant. doing an extensive business at Barry Dock. To a reporter of the "Western Mail," who called upon him at his residence, in High-street, Cadoxton, Barry, Mr. Chislett made the follow- ing statement:- "My business—that of a successful coal mer- ehant-necessarily obliged me to be a great deal out of doors in all weathers, and about three years ago I took a bad chill, the effects of which were the primary cause of a most IMbinful ailment, namely, bleeding piles, from whioh I suffered most excruciating pains for fully two years. "I suffered so intensely that I was reduced 'to a skeleton, and could scarcely walk. feared" that I should be obliged to give up my business in consequence of the ailment, with which I was for such a long time afflicted. I tried all sorts of remedies, both internal and external; but nothing seemed to do me any lasting gcod, so that gradually I grew too weak and dejected that I could hardly stand on my feet. On top of these agonies, about a year ago I had an acute attack of sciatica in the groin and legs. I had medical adrice; but seemed-to be as bad as ever. At last I deter- mined to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.- I sent to a chemiet's for a box. I took the pills regularly, and within another fort- I night I was able to get out of bed unaided. "To cut a long story short, thanks to Dr. Williams' Fink Pills, I am as well now as you see me-aB well as I have ever been-completely oured, both from sciatica and piles, and I am still taking an occasional dose of the pills, in order to keep myself right." A BUSINESS MAN'S RECOVERY. Suffered from a Severe Form of Indigestion, but was Completely Cured. Mr. Nathaniel Johnson is a well-known timber merchant, of 88. Lausanne-road, Peck- ham, London. S.E., and during an interview with a "Weekly Dispatch" reporter he described how a. serious illness, beginning with insignificant symptoms, interfered greatly with his business affairs. "About three years ago," said Mr. Johnson, "I began to suffer from indigestion. Last (spring I had violent headaches constantly, and my rest at nights was much disturbed. Sub- sequently, whenever I took food I was in agony. A doctor prescribed for me, but J still suffered from sleeplessness. I found it impos- sible to touch even the lightest of food. Then I tried another doctor, but my troubles increased in severity, and pains in my back were very severe. Sometimes indigestion -would cause me to go three or four days prac- tically without foo. In a few weeks I lost over two stone in weight. "At this critical point I happened to read a pamphlet concerning Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People that was dropped into my office letter box. I gave the pills a trial, and before I had finished one box I began to feel better. I woke up in the morning and found I bad no headache; I slept well, and the pains in my back which I had had for years ceased to I trouble me. The heavy feeling on my cheat gradually died away, until finally it vanished. Four boxes cured me. I look forward to my meals with pleasure, and the days-when I was catered for as an invalid are over. I am strong and healthy, with excellent digestive I organs. I now regard life and my business with a keen enjoyment* and when I look back on what I suffered formerly, the change seems marvellous." PROVERBIAL BRITISH CLEAR- d_ HEADEDNESS. A Cheshire County Man who Found Out the Way to be Well. After visiting Mr. John Barnes at 38. Edward- Street, Stockport. a local reporter writes that he found him a typical clear-headed Stockport business man. certainly not one to be imposed upon, not to be mistaken in his facts; and he had a sufficiently remarkable experience to relate, which he did with a candour and intel- ligence that carried conviction, even without the corroboration which lie offered. Mr. Barnes, who is in business as a green- grocer, stated"Some time ago I wao seized with violent pains across the chest, which held mve, as it were, in a grip from which I could xtot loose myself. I attributed the attack to lifting, for I was always worsie after having been hauling potatoes about. I quite lost my appetite for food. I consulted a doctor, and took five or six bottles of medicine, besides other remedies; but it was all to no purpose. At the critical period I saw an advertisement in the local daily paper that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Company would give advice. I wrote to them to see if they thought they eould do me any good, and the reply camej I that the Dr. William#' Pink Pills for Pale People had cured- similar cases to my own. This was sufficient for me, and I bought a box, and before I had finished taking the pills from this box I felt a decided change. Previously, bear in mind, I was going to nothing, and nearly dead. My digestion and appetite gradually returned, and the second and third boxes set me on my feet. I am taking them yet, occa- sionally, as a precaution against any return of the attack, and I shall never cease to keep them in the hoase or to recommend their use to anyong." In reply to thieporter's question, Mr. Barnes said he was twfnty-six years of age, that he was then in as vigorous bealth as ever, and that he was glad of ther opportunity to sub- scribe this evidence to the virtues of Dr. Williams' Pink Pill? for Pale People, so that others who might be suffering-from any similar complaint might find the relief and the remedy for which he is so thankful.

Who Travels Alone. [COMPLETE.] "No. I can't say what you want; it is quite impossible. You know the words. 'He travels the fastest who travels alone?' I am going to be a lonely traveller." "But. Bertha-" "Is it any use going over it all again, Kenneth? It only hurts us both to go back over the old ground. Our friendship has been good-has been a great joy to me, to mr both, I hope—but it cannot be more than friendship. I am sorry you have asked me." "Bertha, it is absurd." The man's voice was impatient. "Friendship between a man and woman is not the mm of happiness. Why should you want to travel alone through life? Surely, two together means a doubling of strength as well as of joy?" She shook her head. "It means—it would mean—that I must let my career- go to the wall, and I oan't do that. I have given my life to my art, and I mean to stick to it now. Don't you pee—oh, can" see-that if I marry I must let all my hope of making a big artistic career die away? Surely, you can see that?" "Does nothing come before your art in your head? Don't you care for me at all ?, I do. But not enough-ah, Kennetu, don't be angry—not enough to sacrifice every- thing for you. I am a modern woman, you know. and I agree with our most modern poet, 'He travels the fastest who travel!r alone.' Her companion uttered a sharp exclamation of annoyance. "It is such nonsense," he said, "to talk about being a modern woman. Good heavens, as if the question of marriage and men and women hadn't been settled in the Garden of Eden! Do you think you can alter it now. whether you are a modern woman or not? Are you wise, my dear"—his voice softened suddenly—"are you wise, to say the least of it, to throw away a man's love for the sake of art? Are you so sure that you will never want it, after yoa have flung it away?" "How can I tell?" she paid, and impatience was in her voice now. "I have been happy in our friendship. I should have gone on being happy in it, but I cannot give yon more, and I cannot look into the future or guess what it may bring. I am not likely to change, I think. If I did change, I do not know if my pride would let me say so. But my music will be enough for me—always1. I am sorry that you think our friendship must end because I cannot be your wife." "End? Of course, it must end." His brusque- ness was the ,outcome of the sore hurt she was inflicting on him. "You modern women are ery ignorant of men." There was bitterness in his tone. "I want you for my wire. I want a home with you for its centre and happiness. You want your art. So be it. I wonder if some yo i will find it has turned to Dead Sea. fruit." He laughed. "Don't laugh." she pleaded, and she came close to him and touched his arm. "It hurt? me when you laugh like that. I do not want to be horrid and to hurt you. L I can't be yuur wife. Only-only let us part friends." Her voice shook. and he saw tbat her eyes- usually so clear—were dim with tears. He took her hand, and drew her gently into his arms. "I won't be cross," he said, making a queer little effort at a smile. "Let us kiss and be friends—as we say good-bye." She lifted he face to his. and he kissed her quiet and tenderly. "Some day. perhaps—a long time hence," he said, "we may meet again, as friends. But you must give me time. Would you rather left you here, or shall we go back to town together?" he risked hesitatingly. She realised that his coura^: was fast leaving him. "Leave me here," she whiFpered, and her voice shook again. "I can find my way back alone." He held her closely against him for another moment; then, loosihg her abruptly, he moved away down the slope, past the hawthorn, whae the robin still sang his heartbreaking song, the carpet of yellow bracken, and away into the golden haze of sunlight towards the silver thread of river, till he was lost to her sight. The golden veil of light danced mistily before her eyes. She put out her hand towards the hawthorn tree suddenly, and cried aloud, please, do not sing like that." But the robin sang fn unheeding, and with a little sob the woman, too, turned away. i It was October again—ten years later. A red sun sank slowly into a bank of grey cloud at the end of a long London street. A woman plodding wearily along the pavement watched his setting, wondering as she watched whether he wa? going down in a golden haze across the woodlands in Ricitmond Park. She was most dreadfully tired. The violin- case she carried seemed too heavy a burden to be borne-her legs acfied, her brain felt worn out. Lesson after lespon, lessons all day; it was a wearjsome life enough, she reflected, and a smile, half bitter, half humorous, crept over her face as èhe remembered her great aspirations and the wonderful career of art Fhe had mapped out for herself. Well, she had got her way in one respect. She had travelled alone along life's ways, she had been un- trammelled by the ties of love and home, her course had been as free as heart could desire. and yet her dreams of being a great artist remained still dreams—no more. Her way led her across a corner of Regent's Park. She noticed bow fast Autumn's touch was dressing the trees in brown and gold. Upon one of' them a robin sao and sang. A vivid memory swept over her of golden woods-a carpet of bracken—and. in the hawthorns, a robin sang. It was so long since that day at Richmond; so long since she had flung away Love for Art, and these words came, hack to her with a sudden force, "I wonder if some day you will find it has turned to Dead Sea fruit." When she reached the house in which she lodged she was, as phe expressed it in her own mind, dog tired. A queer longing came over her for a welcoming voice-a kias even—for anything rather than the chilly silence of her own sitting-room, whose creepiness and lone- line.'? made her chiver unaccountably. 'Goope! eh. goose!" she said aloud, as she put her violin down and prepared to make her own tea: "You can't eat your cake and have it; you threw away just as fine a piece of plum cake- with sugar on the top, too-that any woman was ever offered. Now, you can't get it back. So buck up!" She picked up her violin case and went out. She had one more lesson to give, and it en- tailed a journey by the underground, which somehow this evening seemed to her like the last straw of misery. The sun had long set; a grey fog was slowly wrapping itself round the grey streets. It hung tike-a, white pall over the Park, and the robin's voice was silent Bertha shivered as she hur- ried along. The accumulated depression of years seemed falling about her to-night. It was not the first time by a. very long way that she had thought with bitter regret of the gift she had flung away on that evening of October ten years before. In the beginning the struggle for success had satisfied her. The excitement had carried her along. She had had no time to look back or to be sorry for what he had done. Her inde- pendent life had gratified her; she had even congratulated herself upon her lack of home ties, and thanked her stars that-she was not a? those other women, with husbands aud child- ren to absorb their time and their hearts to the exclusion of art and work. But of late things bad appeared to her in a different light. A sensation of almost in- tolerable loneliness haunted her night and day. The longing for a- welcoming voice when she came home from work was one that daily assailed her. She realised a sick envy of the women with husbands and homes of their own. The voices of little children pometimes sent a stab of paui to her heart. She had made a mistake, and she owned it; but the repairing of it was no longer in her hands. She walkel into the booking-office of the underground station, and put her money mechanically through the window. "Third return South Kensington," she said. "Two firsts South Kensington," a voice be- hind her came almost like an echo of her own. "I will take this lady's ticket with mine." The clerk Ftolidl.v handed the tickets to the tall man behind Bertha, and a hand was laid on her arm- "Come," the same voice said, and without a word Bertha turned and followed him down the stairs. Neither of them spoke on" word as they walked up and down the ph.liorm tfll their train came in, then Kenneth Markham opened the door of an empty first-class carriage and helped Bertha in .following her. and seating himself bepide her. He did not speak till the train moved, then he turned to her and said softly. has travelling alone been a satis- factory experiment?" "Ah. don't!" was all she could and then, in the fashion of a very unmodern woman, she began to cry. He took her hand and held it closely till she grew calmer. Then he spoke again, and the tenderness in his voice had grown— "Jify poor little girl," he said: "has it neen so bad as that? Do, you know how I have hunted for you? And were you too proud to tell me that—well, that lonely travelling dull?" "Mjr pride died ago," she whiirered. "and once—once I wrote to you, and my letter came back, 'Gone away.' Then-" "Then what?" "I thought mv heart would break," she said almost iuaudibly The pressure of his hand tightened. "I had to go abroad to my brother who was ill, and I gave up my old rooms. But yoa, dear? I tried to find you—in vain." "I moved," she said, "just after I got the letter back which I wrote to you., Nothing s-eemed to matter then." "And now," he said, "where are you bound for?" He spoke in more ordinary tones, an old gentleman having inopportunely entered the compartment. 'I am going to give a lesson in Egerton- crescent." "Oh! I think not," he answered, and meeting her eyes he smiled. "We will send a telegram to your pupil from the next station we stop at to say 'Unavoidably detained.' You are unavoidably detained, because I am going to detain you! You are coming to dine with me at the Savoy, and we will decide later about what will become of your pupils." "Become of my pupils?" The old gentleman had taken his departure. "Yes. You shall keep them if you like, but as my wife you won't need to do any work you don't care about. Fortune ha? been kind to me." "As your wife?" Bertha's white face flushed crimson, but the hand Kenneth held nestled closer into his. "Aren't you—aren't you taking things rather for granted?" "Too much for granted?" he whispered. "Yon don't want to continue that solitary journey do you, dear?" "No—no—oh. no!" she shuddered. "I—don't think you did take it too much for granted- only-only I am an old woman and worn out- and dull and "Are you? I think I shan't agree with you about those things—only don't want to be a lonely traveiler again! Have you really travelled faster?" "Don't tease!" she said. "I have gone by Parliamentary train all the way, I think; and. oh! Art is not enough to fill a woman's life. I made a Ulietake about it." "Was Mrs .Browning right, my dear .after all. when she said— Oh, Art, my Art, thou'rt much, but Love is more?" And Bertha. looking with a smile into his face, answered softly. "Yes." =======s======

A late professor was one day walking near Aberdeen when he met a well-known "natural." "Pray." said the professor, "how long can a man live without brains?" "I dinna ken," said Jemmy, scratching his head. "How auld are ye?" NEVER EXPLAINED. She had never seen a game of football. He is an enthusiast. That is why she listened with an interested face as he read aloud the detailed accounts of the big match. "I should think," she said in her pretty way. "that in such a rough game outsiders would know better than to intrude upon the field." He looked puzzled. "What do you mean?" he asked. "Why." she answered, "didn't you just read to me that some inquisitive person named A. Goal was twice kicked from the field?" And for the life of him he couldn't sum- mon up the necessary kardhood toexplain her misapprehension.

TRIAL AT MANCHESTER ASSIZES. Sarah Dodd, a middle-aged woman, was charged at Manchester Assizes yesterday witfi bigamously marrying John Young at Great Marsden on the 14tli of January, 1896. Mr. Tipping, who was counsel for the prose- cution, said that the prisoner married Richard Dodd at St. James's Church, Ashton-under- Lyne, in 1889. The couple lived together for eighteen months, and then they separated. The prisoner afterwards cohabited with a man named John Young, who subsequently went to Scotland for a time, and on his return went through a form of marriage with her at St. John's Church, Great Marsden. Two children were born during the time the prisoner cohabited with Young, and she had previously had a shild by her real husband, who was still alive Evidence was given by John Young, who said that the prisoner told him that her husband had died- whilst out soldiering in India. His Lordship (to witness): Was it you who set the police on to this prosecution? Witness: Yes. Why did you do it?—Simply because I knew I was living in adultery. But you had lived in adultery with her for four years You are now, I suppose, a Te- formed character? (Laughter.)—I did not wish my children to be with her. The prisoner questioned the witness pretty closely as to whether he did net tell her that Dodd was dead, and that there was, therefore, no reason why they should not be married. This the witness denied, and he also repu- diated a suggestion that he drew Dodd's blood money (insurance money). The mother of the prisoner's real mother went into the witness-box, and was asked by his lordship if she ever told Young that her son was still alive. Witness: Yes. He knew my son was still alive, and he told me it made no difference, as my son was away. (Laughter.) The prisoner stated that Young told her that her husband had died in Yorkshire, and she believed that she was free to marry him. Her husband had been away several years, and she had heard nothing of him. The jury returned a nerdict of Not guilty," and the prisoner was at once discharged. The Foreman said the jury thought that Young should be reprimanded. His Lordship: I hope I have reprimanded him. I might call him up and talk to him, but I suppose I might just as well talk to this desk.

SQUIRREL'S EVIL CHARACTER. Mr. Edmund T. Daubeny, of Thetford, in a letter to the "Daily News," speaks of the damage squirrels do to forest trees. and says there is a widespread cry of alarm at the diminishing numbers of many of our little birds, and one of the most practical ways of preserving them is to keep squirrels in check. If a squirrel comes across a nest with eggs be aucki them, if there are yonng birds he cats them, treating the head of the bird as he would a nut. "I am a lover of birds, and prefer the notes of the blackcap, whitethroat, nightingale, and other songsters to the sqhirrel's pretty and engaging but destructive ways."

7 CARNEGIE ABROAD. American newspaper men are following Mr. Carnegie's journey through Europe. Accord- ing to one of the correspondents at Antibes, "3fr. Carnegie has made friends with an old Scotch fisherman, established there for many years, who takes him out sailing occasionally in a heavy barque. Never suspecting the importance of his passenger, he gets him to help with tlis nets and ropes, all of which duties Carnegie perforins with cheerful alacrity." And the correspondent adds. "Andrew Carnegie sports an old straw hat and rather slouchy clothes. He is out every morn- ing at six o'clock, and generally walks about the country lane3 till lunch. Most of the after- noon he sleeps at full length on the beach sand."

¡ FROGS. FARMED. A frog farm with a yearly output of 100,000 frogs is being equipped near Boston. The enterprise is under the management of the Massachusetts Frog Company, and rural Boston capitalists are interested. The frogs will be cultivated in a series of tanks connected by locks. These artificial ponds are lined with cement, and supplied by water mains. The breeding will go on in small tanks three feet wide by ten feet in length. At certain stages of development the frogs are passed to larger hasin3. It is expected the frogs will reach maturity and be ready for the market at two years of age. The pro- duct will be available for all purposes to which frogs may be put, dead or alive. Frogs may be supplied at all seasons. ■ S

FOOTBALL GOSSIP. Maesteg received tlu» heaviest, defeat of the season at the hands of Neath last Saturday. Bill Griffiths, the well known boxer, of Tir- phil, who has successfully opposed two men during the last few weeks, set sail for South line at the end of the season. w Carpenter, of Pill Harriers, is about the most Hard-working forward in the Monmouthshire L(-ague.h c always uses his 12st. 81b. to the best advantage. Abertillery expsrienced very rough luck on the Dock-street g;round, as after playing a ?mart game and getting1 splendid chances, some one or other would surely blunder at the critical moment. Cwmbran meet Pill Harriers in their return league engagement on the Pill ground to-day, when given fine weather there ought to be a rscord crowd. The last match at Cwmbran ended in a draw of one try each. so that whichever side wins on this occasion it won't be by much. P.H."—No. the Swansea Rugby Club have not scored more than 700 points in any one of the past three seasons. During the present season they scored 584 points, last season, 681, and the one before 678. Even if H. B. Winfield. the Cardiff full-back, does go to London during the present summer he will be back in time for the football season. CardUfians will be pleased to learn this. It was a misfortune for S. Jones, the Mackin- tosh centre, that last Saturday was such a vile day. He had no real opportunity of showing his ability for the Welsh Metropolitans against Treorky. The Pontypridd Shooting Club has made the usual good start this year, having already held two prize shoots. At the first shoot, held last week on Gelliwion "Range, Pontypridd. the prize was won by Cyclist-sergeant W. M. Lewis with 86 points. On Thursday the second shoot was held. when the prize was won by Private L. M'Bean with 91 points. Clie only backs for Maest-eg who played in anything like form against Neath last Satur- day were Tom Hinkin and Willie Hopkins. Willie Hopkins. the Maesteg inside half, drew the admiration of all at Neath last Satur- day by his clever play. John Owens. Aberaman. and Jerry Morgan, Aberdare, have signed articles to box the better of twenty rounds at catch-weights for a purse of £50. at a place and on a date to be mutually agreed on. Llanbradacli holds a record in the South Wales Football League. They have played eight matches and lost the lot. Better luck next time. It is a great pity that the Maesteg players do not keep together now at the close of the season. No fewer than eight regular players were missing against Neath last Saturday. This accounts for the heavy scoring made by Neath. Pill Harriers have not been defeated on their own ground for more than three seasons. the last team to do the trick being the New- port Hibernians in February, 1898. And yet Pill have encountered such clubs as Ponty- pridd. Treherberl, Cheltenham, Gloucester A, Newport A. Toniu, Whitchurch, and all the Monmouthshire league teams. Treorky have about the fastest 3et of backs of any of the hill clubs. Lewis Lewis on the left wing gave t\e Cardiff players a lot of trouble last Saturday. The Penygraig Club fully expect to have a warm team nett season. This was fore- shadowed by thEir brilliant victory over Tre- herbert last Saturday. Pill Harriers will be without, that sterling forward "Saspa" Thomas against Cwmbran to-day. He is tae fastest forward in the Pill pack, and uses the whole of his 12st. from start to finish. By their brilltuit success over a very power- ful combinatior got together to represent the Bristol Club In Saturday last Devonport Albion broke tie world's lICcord for scoring in one season.

The Cardff Club has a reserve fund at the bank of ov.r £ 1,700. Some of the local chari- ties ought to benefit ere long. Many people would like;0 know what the Welsh Union do with all tfeir money. Either the charges for admission o international matches ought to be reduced-qnite a reasonable expectation on the part <f the public-or the contributions to.charitaol,e agencies should be much larger than theyhavD hitherto been. Up to the pre- sent the ublic have certainly not been dealt fairly wih. Pill Hrriers have unearthed a prolific scorer inyoung Llewellyn, who started play- ing with heir second fifteen. He is one of the fastest bbks they have ever had. and although he has oJy played in seven matches he is top scorer w h a dozen tries to his credit. He is not yet Qt of his teens, and has every appear- ance of making a first-flass wing. Newport will casttheir net around him shortly. A brting Athlete" writes:—"A protest having \<m made in the second1 round for the Cardiff Football Union Junior Cup, the cup comIDit, for some reason or other, struck both St Alban's and Penarth Thistles out of the rutins. What is their reason for so doing, hd especially without fi'rst making an investiition? I should iike to know if that is the ay the committee think to encourage footbal among the juniors. What would their feelin^have been if the like had been done to thei?" J. Symour broke his arm badly in the Pontyhdd v. Canton match on Saturday, and, natnrfly, will not be able to play any more this siSon. Thejilfynydd athletic sports, in May, have attracted a very large entry. Altogether there are 1.1 entries so far. As usual at Cilfynydd. everyhing in the athletic line is managed in the \st and most approved style. Cilfiydd have a penchant for turning out goodiaif-backs. One of their beat is W. Mor- ris. '10 plays with J. Recs for Pontypridd to. day. Ingam and Davies, the Penygraig half-backs, will ave a warm time of it to-day against J. Ree:alld W.

Itwould be good policy if the Glamorgan Leaue adhered' to their rule of keeping the detait money in protest cases-that is, when theprotests are not sustained.

The result of this ifhat the Maesteg committee are compelled to ilke experiments with their three-quarter lie at the end of the season. v eid professionalism is suspected to be so ihipant among the South Wales clubs that tay Cardiff people decline to believe that ten their own club is free from the taint. ■?vertheless, that is absolutely true. Such a wd sportsman as Mr. H. J. Simpson, for in- ance, would never countenance open or jileel professionalism in connection with the ardiff Club. lie and some of his fellow-mcm- ers of the committee would prefer to resign, nd throw the whole thing over. In a sense j SCj)ill!! rather hard, for the quality of Rugby potball for which the Welsh Metropolis is so amed is undoubtedly declining. Other clubs aanage to keep their players despite all the Ilandishments of the Northern tempters, iVhy not Cardiff ? I understand that on Monday a number of gentlemen will meet at New Tredegar to measure out the ground for the proposed recreation centre ^or' New Tredegar and lirphil, after which they will draft up a peti- tion to be presented to Mr. E. H. Hann, the general manager ofJ the;, Powell Duffryn Com- pany. to ba forwarded'to the landowners. A further meeting of the committee will then iJe held on Tuesday. It was at Treorky last Saturday that some of the colliers were showering: t&eir jjraises on Gwyn NichoV Said one of them an an "Express" U1: "Us was much disappointed that Gwyn cholls did not turn up. We should like to \ave him altogether. We would find a job for h>n—hanling underground, 4s. 6d. a day and p-erOtnta,ge, and plenty of beer and 'bacco on S,-I.tu.rtav night. And when the slid- ing scale would go down, he should go back to Cardiff to lo% for a job. He can't have muchy beeter oter than that!" After our man had promisy to convey the message to "Gwyn," one of he "butties" suggested sug- gester going to s'e the "mishtir" haulier at once. It will be gratifying to the Maesteg football supporters to hear that Mr. D. Sims-Rees has been recently elelt(I to the chairmanship of the Maesteg District Council.

A remarkable feat lire jn the history of the Glamorgan League is tkt. Mountain Ash have never defeated Peiiygrai^ at Venygraig, and Penygraig have never Seated Mountain Ash at Mountain Ash. Dick Hellings, the ex-iniernational. is the most unpopular man in t\¡e Ithondda Valley at the present time. And why? It is not. necessary to go far for an Explanation. Upon his election to the captaincy of the Llwynypia team early in the season hepronrised to do all in his power for the team. But alas, "what a change is there, my countlhllen." Dick has transferred his affections ei>tirely, and thinks more of Devonshire football than of the team of his adoption. The glorious uncertainty of football was never more in evidence than it is now in the Glamorgan League Competition. Some time ago Penygraig and Pontypritd were almost ghoulders above the others fo the champion- ship. but the unexpected happened during the past week, when Penygraig btat both Moun- tain Ash and Treberbert, and Pontypridd have again to visit the Belle Vue gr°^idi3. Gloucester are sure of a wark reception at Treherbert to-day. RhoiiddztitA are very dis- satisfied with the result of the Swknsea-Clouces- ter match. Bridgend have not been playiig nearly so well lately, and Llaneily ought \0 win their match with them to-day on tig former's ground. There will, no doubk be marjy changes in the fifteen, as sohe of the players have had enough of the game. and have retired for the season. V{}at enables one to come to this conclusion is The play of Llaneily against Mountain Ash week ago. Next Saturday Llanelly are due Neath. One of the Pontypridd sportsmen who calls a spade a spade is the Rev. D. T. Jos, chair- man of the Pontypridd Football 90[nmittee, and now captain of the local cricact club. Early in the football season he ercait-d a bit of a rumpus by his candid rernft-rkl to the footballers. Now. again, he has been hitting straight from the shoulder at solU of the "gentlemen" in the cricket club. Qiiti right, too. The three-quarters of the league cbItpions were a better lot than those of their oppo. nenta on Saturday last. Treorky journey to Mountain Ash to.day, and will make a bold bid for victory. The "gate" at Treorky last Saturday was disappointing. It was hardly bigger than that of Treorky v. Penygraig last year. It is stated that every Swansea player WO\ld willingly assist Treherbert in their match to. day. Revenge is sweet. 4 In all probability, Alexander and Bob Jonts will be seen in the Treherbert ranks to-dal, and rumour hath it that George Davies an Dan Rees are also likely players against Gloucester to-day. The football season will extend far into the cricket season in the Rbondda, for severr-I important league matches have been arranged for May. There is just the possibility that the result' would have been different in the Treorky v. Cardiff match last Saturday had it been dry- This comes from Treorky. It is not always a wise policy for football clubs to offer prizes for the to;) scorers during the season. It prompts eelfislins-rs. as was evi- denced in the Pontypridd quartette laat Satur- j day. Since Saturday last there have been a few changes in the positions of the Glamorgan League clubs, due to Penygraig beating Moun- tain Ash on Monday and defeating Treherbert on the previous Saturday. Next Monday Pont- ypridd will meet Penygraig in a league con- test, and have subsequently to meet Treher- bert and Mountain Ash. The positions up to date are:- P. W. L. D. P. Pontypridd 6 4 1 1 9 Treberbert. 7 4 2 1 9 Mountain Ash 8 3 3 2 8 Llwynypia 7 1 2 4 6 Penygraig 6 1 4 1 3 Treorky 5 0 2 3 3 The decision of the Welsh Football Union at their meeting in Cardiff on Thursday night to adopt the scheme of putting up cups and medals for competition to encourage the Rugby game amongst the juniors is one that will commend itself to all lovers of the game who desire to s-ee our ascendancy maintained. Only by the importation of new blood and the unearthing of promising players can this be done, and there is plenty of material to hand in our boys. It is astonishing that this branch of the great winter pastime has been neglected so long. Doubtless, the most gratifying results will follow the adoption of this scheme, as it will certainly act as a stimulus to the juniors to know that they have something to play for. But a great de-al for foresight and caution must be exercised in the framing of the scheme by the sub-committee appointed. Upon this a great deal depends if the number of players is to be increased and the standard of play improved. The following is the Monmouthshire Foot- ball League table of results up to and includ- ing April 13:- Score Club. P. W. L. D. F. A. P.

"But now that the match is over." he added, "our chaps are perfectly satisfied that Mr. Evan John was ar, fair as fair could be." And then the "Ponty" man took him to the White Hart. A match for th& benefit of the Llaneily Hospital is being played to-day between the bobbies and scribes. A capital game is expected, and also a large attendance. The event should have come off last Saturday, but the state of the ground prohibited. The Welsh Barbarians are at Plymouth to- day, where they meet Devonport Albion, who are doubtful about winning. They have cause for apprehension, as there are seven Welsh internationals in the team, including repre- sentatives from Newport and Swansea. It should be a fine passing game. Cardiff are looking upon their match with Keath as a eoft affair, but we shall see. The latter alwaya give a creditable exhibition here, and it wou!d not be a surprise if Car- diff were to finish the season with a defeat. It may be, but the odds are much against it. One of the best Association matches that has been played in South Wales this season ought to be the verdict at the finsh of the game Rogerstone v. Rest of the League at Barry. Unfortunately, for Rogerstone, they will be without the services of S. Stevenson. their best back, who was injured in the match against Barry on Good Friday.
