A CORRECTION.
A CORRECTION. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,-My attention has been called to a report in your issue of the 4th of the case Sampson v. Evans." Permit me to say that the report is misleading. I did not receive £ 1,000 and £ 500 from the plaintiff, but ouly £ h00, and that amount was immediately handed over to the partios connected with the Eastern and Western Railway Company. The representations I made were upon the faith of statements made to me by others, and which I believed but I was advised that, having made them, I became legally liable, aud that my only remedy was to take like pro- ceedings against tho parties who misrepresented matters to me. The curious fact about the whole business is that the plaintiff has since then, after full investigation of the position of the company, invested further moneys in it. In justice to myself I trust you will allow this explanation to appear.—I am, &c., H. RUSSELL EVANS. May 7, 1887.
----__n_-A WELSH POST OFFICE…
__n_- A WELSH POST OFFICE BURNED DOWN. EXCITING SCENES. An alarming fire lias occurred at Liaubrynmair, where the post-office and shop in the occupation of Mr J. Edwards and his sister, with three servants, has been totally destroyed by fire, the inmates having sustained very narrow escapes. The fire was discovered by Mr Edwards, who awoke and found his bedroom filled with smoke. He immediately aroused the household aud made his way downstairs. The others tried to follow his example, but were umlule to lea vo their chamlvrs. Loud cries of fire were raised, and numerous hands were soon at the scene of the fire. The roof was broken in, and through this the females were rescued in their night-dresses. The structure which was three storeys high was completely gutted before tnefhimes could be extinguished. All the stock in the shop, together with the telegraphic instruments and other postal appliances were destroyed. Mr Edwards dashed into the office and saved some of his books and cash, but it is believed that a quantity of postal orders and stamps are burnt The origin of tho firo is at present unknown. The premises were insured.
WHAT WELSHMEN THINK.
WHAT WELSHMEN THINK. A SUMMARY OF THE OPINIONS OF THE WELSH PRESS. [BY ADOLYGYDD.] THE WELSH INTERMEDIATE EDUCATION BILL claims perhaps the first place, though it is not noticed as yet by all the Welsh papers. Yr Herald, Cymraeg ("The Welsh Herald," Liberal) gives the chief provisions and points out the chief defects of the bill. It considers that The first need of Wales is to turn all endow- ments and charities to serve the cause of true national education. The second need is to have a National Board of Education which will be fairly representative of the country, irrespective of denomination or political party. While there remains an Established Church in our country it will be useless co try to frame a fair measure of intermediate education. The Church has leavened every other national cause pertaining to Welshmen. Let the seat of the disease be reached if we wish to secure a healthy, strong, and advancing national feeling. The most carefully-written review of the bill is perhaps that of Y Golwad (" The Light," Calvin- istic Methodist), which goes very fully into the question. It does not hesitate to give praise to such proposals in the bill as deserve it, and it is equally honest in its adverse criti- cism upon the portions which are least favourable. Sections 16, 17, and 13 of the proposed measure, dealing with the power of the new boards over the Charity Commissioners, is singled out for special and severe condemnation. It points out that the power in the hands of the board is only apparent, and can only be really exercised with the coucurrencB of the commissioners themselves. The power of appeal to the Education Depart- ment is considered unsatisfactory. "Have we not," it asks, "already had sufficient proof that strangers in London are not the persons best suited to decide upon Welsh needs? Officials far distant in England, strangers who are, we believe, possessed with the best wishes for us, but without that knowledge of us, and devoid of that sym- pathy with our history, which would tit them for the work, these are the men who, under this measure, are appoined to determine everything, while the people of the country, who know best of its needs, have granted them the illustrious favour of liaviug permission to ask Y Dydd ("The Day," Congregational) thinks that "tho object of the bill is to place inter- mediate education in the hands of a denomination which possesses the confidence of and is supported by only a small portion of the population." Scren Cymru (" The Star of Wales," Baptist) thinks "the bill is essentially one-sided, Church, Tory, anti-national, insufficient to supply existing needs, and will be as unacceptable to the country at large as is the Established Church itself." Oil, lia ("Wales," Conservative) is of opinion that MrKenyon has displayed a ripe judgment and extensive knowledge in framing this bill. It is possible party feeling may lead the Welsh Radical members to oppose it. It will certainly be a shame for them if they act in any unworthy manner towards this excelleat attempt on Mr Kenyon's part to benefit his country and his nation." It Llan a'-)- Dyviysogaeth ("The Church and Principality," (Jhurch organ) expresses almost precisely similar views to Gwalia. 11 Y Chveithiwr Cymreig ("The Welsh Workman," labour organ) thinks we have cause to be thankful the bill contains so many good points, considering where it comes from OUR NATIONAL COLLEGES AND THE WELSH LANGUAGE continues to be the subject of consideration in some of the papers, with special reference to the position of Bangor College on this question. Y Genedl Gymreig ("The Welsh Nation," Nationalist) has leading article under the above heading, in which the matter is carefully reasoned, and a logical conclusion arrived at. After proving the probability that the language will continue to exist for some time to come, Y Genedl says:—" If that be so, we maintain that the educational institutions of the nation should honour the language. Not only should it be taught in our day schools, and the inter- mediate schools when we get them, but it should have a place, and a prominent place, in our university colleges. It is not enough to have occasional lectures the language has a right to claim a professor, and such professor filling a special chair. That the chief educational institu- tion of a nation should ignore the language of that nation is absurdly unnatural and unreasonable. What would be thought of Oxford and Cambridge imparting instruction to the undergraduates in German and French, and entirely ignoring the English language ? Can anyone regard the thing as possible and practicable ? Then what, we ask, shall be said of ignoring Welsh, as is done in our university colleges ? We cannot imagine that the introduction of Welsh would entail any loss in any sense or degree. It would be a decided gain in many ways. Our future in this, as in many other things, is in our own hands let us but spoak our own minds clearly aud emphati- cally, and our claims will be acknowledged." In The Quarryman's Column in the same paper, nnder the editorship of Mr W. J. Parry, chairman of the Quarrymen's Union, the same matter is referred to, but with more direct refer- ence to Bangor University College. Mr Parry thinks that our quarrymen should feel grateful to those who are whipping the authorities of Bangor College with retpecf to the Welsh lan- guage. The lovers of the old language never thought it would be ignored in a national college so near Eryri. For a tithe there was held before them the proposal to place a chair for Welsh when arranging the chairs of the college. Then another plan was proposed, less satisfactory, but still better than nothing, namely, to have a Welsh lecturer. It was hoped the lecturer would in course of time be appointed professor of Welsh, and thus place the living language of the country on an equality with dead foreign languages. But this plaaj, again, was quietly dropped. Why ? Is it because the Welsh are easily pleased and easily deceived or satisfied ? It would be well for the authorities of Bangor College to understand that the spirit of the country is being roused, and that it will have a Welsh chair-not a mere lecturer any more, and no pretence of any other kind whatever, but that the language shall be placed on a footing as honourable as that accorded to any other language in the college. It would be better for them to seize the present opportunity before things become worse than they already are. The quarrymen have subscribed well—remarkably well but if the old language continue to be ignored, if a chair be denied it, the cry will rise Stop the supplies It is too late to throw any more dust in the eyes of the public on this matter. The country is determined to demand what is fair for itself and for its lan- guage. It would be far better to see this done in peace, and not in strife. It must be done, so let the authorities do it now before the gilt is taken off the concession when it is made." It has been said that North Walians are slower in being roused than the inhabitants of the southern half of the principality, but that when once roused they are far more determined. The pre- sent is a test case. There can be no doubt the people are roused, and we shall now see whether they will hold on pluckily until their object has been attained. The Bauer is equally strong, and desires to assure Mr W. ü. Davies that he will be held responsible for the estrangement of the institution until he officially explains the English arrogance of the authorities let him not think that this is a matter to be allowed to drop." It appears that a course of jubilee lectures is proposed to be given by the professors, and the Baner suggests that Mr Cadwaladr Davies should take as his subject" The duty of excluding the poor, barbarous, despised Welsh language from the house which Welshmen have subscribed their pence to raise." I must repeat what I said last week-that this is very bard lines on s) patriotic a Welshman as the registrar of Bangor College. I hardly see why he should be made the scapegoat of others' sins. Other papers refer to the same subject. VARIOUS. F Tysi aV Dydd (" The Witness and the Day," Congregational) treats of the May meeting. YDydd (" The Day," Congregational) has lead- ing articles un" Coercion and Boycotting in Wales." It promises to publish a series of letters on the subject iii future ibsues. Sci-c:i Cymru (" The Star of Wales," Baptist) refers to ttie fact that at the recent ineetincr of the English Baptist Union a resolution condemning in strong terms the Coercion Bill now before Par- liament was carried by a large majority, only nine voting for the amendment moved by Air Douglas and seconded by Mr Bompas, Q.C. It that these nine lepers will soon be made whole. Let them come to the Welsh Baptist Union iu July, and wash themselves even unto seven fnnes in the waters of the Jordan of Welsh zeal, and they will be made whole." Baner ac Amscrau Cymric (61 The Baner and Times of Wales," independent Liberal) has a re- markable leader oil Eie,iieiit,-I"y Schools and their Tyranny," in which some of the inspectors of schools are <iirectly charged with showing favour to National Schools, and of unduly oppress- ing board schools. One inspector in particular, whose uauie is not given, is stated to have made this a habitual custom, and he is warned that tha first complaint against him in the future will be forwarded to the Education Department. A copy of a letter bearing oil this subject will be for- warded to every insPf,c!;or schools in Wales.

CARDIFF EXCHANGE.
CARDIFF EXCHANGE. BUTE DOCKS, SATURDAY. 'Change to-day presented anything but an animated appearance. The attendance was small and very little business was transacted. Chartering for steam at length shows a great falling away, and the rush is apparently for the present about over. imeanwhile themarket is in a very weak state, and rates for many of the higher Mediterranean ports are still further declining. Eastern freights still show considerable firmness, and States outwards are advancing. Coastwise, on the contrary, remains very dull, and rates not a whit better than those last reported. The following comprise the latest chartering operations Gravosa, 133 6d, option Pola, 12s 9d, fuel (Brighouse), Swansea loading; Palermo, 10s lg i. option Catania same rate (Ponca); Genoa, 9.91, 400 delivery (Colina); Copenhagen, 63 (Wastdale); Havre, 4s 6d (Erith); Nap!es, 10s (Greek boat); Marseilles, 114fcs (Mayo), and again at 121fei (Foulah), Swansea loading Con- stantinople, 9s 31, 250 delivery, option Salonica, 9; 61. 200 delivery (Bowesfield); Flushing, 4s 911 (Saxon Prince); Port Said, 9,3 10d (J.

Ore.-Bilbao to Newport, 4s 7d, reported yester- day, was fixed for St Audries; Bilbao to Porth- cawl, 5s (Caerau). Timber.—Deal freights are reported to be a trifle firmer. Kotka to Rochefort has been fixed in Cardiff, for sail, at 40s (Neptune). E kst Indian advices report an active demand for steam from Bombay for May loading, and 25s is now easily obtainable.

THE RACE. Tib was saddled at the post, and the first to appear on the course was Veracity, who was followed by Tyrone, Harpenden, and Bendigo, then came Fulmen, Claymore, Martley, Vermilion, Fra Diavolo, Isobar, Annamite, Fullerton. the Tuba colt, and Gallinule, while the last three to leave the paddock were St Mirin, Ice, and Kilwarlin. The preliminary canter was led by Kilwarlin, after which they assembledjat the post, but, owing to the anxiety of several of the light-weiehts to get well away, there were several breaks away before the flag fell to a good start. The Tuba colt, who held a position on the outside, jumped off with the lead, but he immediately bolted out ot the course, and Veracity, on the inside, settled down in front of Isobar, Claymore, and Martley. then came Uallinule, Ice, Tyrone. Harpenden, and Bendigo, the last four away being Fuilerton, Vermilion, St Mirin, and Tib. After running half a mile Tyrone took up the running, and he was closely followed by Martley, Harpenden, and Veracity, with Annamite, on the in- side, a.nd Claymore, of the outside, lying, at the head of the others, of whom the most prominent were Ben- digo, Vermilion, St Mirin, and Kilwarlin. At the bend, Martley took a, slight lead of Tyrone, and the pair came on just in advance of Harpenden, Vermilion, Bendigo, and Fuilerton to the distance, where Harpen- den and Vermilion dropped away, and Bendigo and Fuilerton, taking close order with Martley and Tyrone at the commencement of Tattersall's enclosure, the four ran a splendid race home. Bendigo, however, ran tiie longer, and, amid the greatest excitement, won J by three-parts of a length a head separated the second and third, and the same distance the thiid and fourth, Fullerton being in the latter position. Har- penden. close up, was fifth,, Vermilion sixth, St Mirin seventh. Annamite eighth, Fra Diavolo ninth, then came Tib, Kilwarlin, lee, Veracity, Gallinule, and Isobar, with Clayino-re last.

LONDON BETTING. SATURDAY NIGHT. The Baron was rather roughly treated in the London market on Saturday afternoon, when, however, only a handful of speculators were present. After 50 to 20 had been twice laid 600 to 100 was betted. Subse- quently 7 to 2 was laid in a few instances. At the close, however, upon the- return of members from Kempton, 3 to 1 was asked for in vain. Report h id it that the horse had been coughing. Meanwhile 100 to 30 was always tendered against Enterprise without leading to business, but at 100 to 8 Martley was backed to win about £ 1000, and finally 10 ponies" was accepted about the second in the Jubilee Stakes Quota.tions THE DERBY.

OUT-DOOR PASTIMES.
OUT-DOOR PASTIMES. [BY AN OLD STAGER.] Through the kindness of a gentleman who was present, I am enabled to lay before my readers the following account of the proceedings at the meeting of repre- sentatives of the four Rugby Unions, held at the Grand Hotel, Liverpool, on Wednesday last. The representatives who attended were:- England, Mr Rowland Hill; Scotland, Messrs Grant Asher, Brown, and Patterson Ireland, Messrs McAllister and Warren; Wales, Messrs H. S. Lyne, W. D. Phillips, and R. Mullock. Mr McAllister was voted to the chair, and the minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, Mr Rowland Hill informed those present that he attended merely to answer any questions that they might desire to put respecting the resolutions passed at the last meeting of the English Union. Of these resolutions it will be remembered the principal one was that empowering the Scotch, Irish, and Welsh unions to send two representatives each to meetings of the English Union committee at which the proposed alterations of rules; affecting the game might bediscussed, the English 11 nion propos- ing this scheme in lieu of the establishment of an international board. Mr Hill was now adked how many his committee numbered, and on his replying over twenty, ic was pointed out to him that were the scheme of the English Union adopted, the other unions could be outvoted by England on questions on which they (the other unions) were unanimously agreed. Mr Hill then stated he had no power to take part in the discus- sion on the other business before the conference, and left the room, Subsequently it was decided by the meeting that the laws under which next season's inter- national matches should be played were to be those of 1885 (the same, in fact, as last year's matches were played under), and in accepting the challenges of England it was to be distinctly pointed out that the various unions would decline to play under any other laws. The dates of the various international matches were then arranged, and Mr Gardner, hou. sec. of the Scottish Union, was appointed secretary of the International Conference Board. Thi3, put briefly, comprises all that was done. It will be noticed that in agreeing to play only under the laws of 1885, the "Celtic" unions-if I may call them so—ignore thescoring rules adopted last season by the English Union, a step it was thought well to take in order to maintain and establish the right of the conference to an equal voice with England in the formation and altera- tion of rules governing international matches. The effect will be that England must now make the first move. If her representatives wish to continue the international contests, they will have to abandon, so far as these matches are concerned, the rule by which three tries are made to equal a goal. Should they decline to do so, then they will be left out in the cold—neither Scotland, Ireland, nor Wales will play them. On the other band, should they agree to play on the stipulated condi- tions, then will the other unions have gained much of what they are contending for. Which of these two courses the English Union may adopt remains to be seen. That they will not readily give way may be taken for granted, but in any event it behoves the other unions, now they have taken up a certain well defined position, to stand firm. The Scotchmen, I hear, are very resolute in the matter, and from what I know of them, I fancy the Welshmen will prove not one whit less obdurate. Nothing to my mind could bemorepreposterous than the claim setup byEng- land to practically govern the other unions. Her representatives base their claim to predominance on the fact that the member of clubs affiliated to their union largely outnumber those of the other three countries combined. But how on earth does this affect international matches? As was pointed out to Mr Rowland Hill at the con- ference, the international board does not seek to interfere with English clubs, or with the rules governing matches between English teams. All they desire is to share equally in the drawing up of rules under which the international matches are played. Into these matches the question of disparity of numbers cannot enter. Each country is represented by a team of fifteen meu and no more, and therefore each country should have an equal right to say under what laws those men shall play. The suggestion that the international rules would, in time, become the laws of the game generally is beside the mark. But supposing they did, would it, after all, be so bad a thing? As the idea appears to prevail in certain unin- formed quarters that the Cardiff Gymnasium scheme is in a state of collapse, I may as well state that the prospect-; of the whole undertaking were never rosier than at the present. Although making no noi«a or parade, the promoters, and notably the energetic hon. sec. of the movement, Mr E. Mitchelmore, have been bard at work, and before very long I hope to be in a position to announce that their labours have been crowned with success. The principal, and indaed, the only obstacle in the way has been the securing of a site. This difficulty has not yet been surmounted, but I am glad to be able to state that it is not un- likely to be removed ere long. Failing to secure a suitable piece of ground elsewhere, the com- mittee recently again approached Mr J. S. Corbett, and at that gentleman's request the joint architects, Messrs Mitchelmore and J. P. Jones, are now engaged in drawing up plans for a building to be erected on a piece of the Cardiff Arms Park lying between the quoit ground and the circus. These plans Mr Corbett has kindly undertaken to lay before Lord Bute on the occasion of the latter's next visit to Cardiff, probably during the jubilee week, when it is hoped his lordship may be induced to reconsider his former decision not to grant a site on the park for the purpose. Before leaving the subject of the gymnasium, I should mention that, after paying ail incidental expenses, the Cardiff Histrionic Club, who some weeks back gave a performance at the Theatre Royal in aid of the funds of the proposed institu- tion, will have a nice surplus to hand over. At a committee meeting of the Cardiff Cricket Club, held at the Queen's Hotel on Friday night, arrangements were made for duly bringing before the public the prize drawing scheme by which it is hoped to clear off the heavy financial deficit under which the club is labouring. I am indebted to Mr A. Russell Thomas, hon. sec. of the Neath Lawn Tennis Club, for some particulars of that institution, which appears to be in a highly flourishing condition. From a membership of 20 a couple of years ago, the club has increased its numbers to 85, and a large acces- sion of new members is confidently expected. The president is the Hon. H. C. Bruce, and the vice-presidents, among whom I notice the of the Mayor of Neath, Lord Dynevor, Sir Hussey Vivian, M.P., and Mr Howel Gwyn, number no fewer than 28, all being gentlemen of position and influence. The season commenced on Saturday, the 30th ult., with a tournament, still in progress, the prizes being two ladies' racquets, presented by Messrs Howel Cuthbertson and E. Edgar Morgan, and a couple of gentle- men's racquets given by Messrs Edwin C. Curtis and Hugh G. P. Price. When I state that the subscriptions are so moderate that ladies may join on payment of 5s, and gentlemen for 7s 6d, it will be admitted that the club ought to boast even a much larger membership than it possesses. Enclosed in Mr Russell-Thomas's letter was a member's card, duly inscribed An Old Stager." I must thank him for the card, which is really one of the most tastefully got-up things of the kind I have ever seen, and can only regret that the long distance dividing Neath from Cardiff renders it well-nigh impossible for me to make use of it. None the less I am obliged to Mr Thomas, and shall be glad to hear from him again. It will be gathered from what I s;\id last week that I did not expect the Cardiff Harlequins' sports—for reasons I enumerated at the time—to "draw" very largely, but I must confess to a feeling of surprise when, on entering the ground on Saturday a few minutes after the time at which the sports were advertised to commence, I looked around in search of the spectators. Spec- tators God bless you, the bonii fide gate-paying spectators could almost have been counted on one's fitigers. Later on the attendance increased a bit, but at no time was there any tiling like a crowd, and I very much fear a heavy financial loss will have been incurred by the promoters. Despite the discouraging attendance, or rather want ef attendance, the Harlequins, I must place it on record, came up smiling, and went resolutely through their programme. The arrangements were excellent, and there was an utter absence of that dis- regard of punctuality which is so often noticeable at similar meetings. There was a little delay at the start-indeed, had there not been, the initial heats of the 120 yards club handicap would have been decided in the presence of the judges, com- mittee, and competitors alone—but afterwards good time was kept, and the whole of the events were disposed of at an earlier hour even than that fixed. The sport, I must admit, was better than I had expected it would be, but that is not saying much. Indeed, the struggles for supremacy would have had to be vastly keener than they were to render one oblivious of the cold wind which swept across the ground, and to disperse the melancholy-in. duced by the desolate and deserted appearance of the spaces allotted to spectators—which seemed to have marked everyone for its own. The pro- ceedings, in short, were flat, stale, and almost funereal in character, and I venture to think we were all precious plad when they were over. I know I was. I am unfeignedly sorry for the Hailequins, They have always shownso much pluck,even in the face of regular Itnuck-down blows, that they deserved better luck. If, however, they take to heart the lesson inculcated by Saturday's fiasco, there will be no cause for regret. Let them make up their minds, when next they hold a meeting, that it shall be a meeting worthy in every way of public support, and they will more than recoup them- selves for Saturday's losses, If they cannot sea their way to doing this, whether from want of funds or from any other cause, then they would be well advised were they to give up the idea of holding meetings at all. The public in tho matter of athletics is exacting. It will haven good tiling, and is willing to pay for it. Offer anything inferior and you may just as well shut up shop at once. It was with great regret that I fonnd mysolf— owing to my doctor's orders—debarred from attending the annual dinner of the Cardiff Foot- ball Club on Friday. The post-prandial :pro- ceedings were, I am told, aud I can well believe it, thoroughly enjoyable. Would I bad been there to take part in them Reading the report of the after-dinner speeches next morning, I was especially glad to notice Mr W. H. Treatt's con- ciliatory references to the Swansea dispute* Tk),gt I by the arrival of next season all soreness between the two clubs will be laid aside, buried, or for- gotten is much to be hoped for. I have always refrained from taking sides in this unfortunate quarrel, believing it to be a case of "least sail, soonest mended," and I think it would tend to heal all differences if the parties more closely con- cerned would resolve to take the same view of the matter. Mr Treatt, I am told, has received a letter from the Moseley Club, expressing surprise at Cardiff's refusing to play them next year. Verily, the "cheek of some people is amazing. A highly successful meeting of the members of the St. Paul's (Cardiff) Cricket Club was held on Saturday evening, when the following officers were elected:—Captain, Mr W. D. Evans; vice- captain, Mr J. Mahoney; secretary, Mr C. J. Osborn, 15, Morgan-street, Cardiff; committee, Messrs Collier, Keleher, Kenelic, and Coles. Tho ciuo nave, as usual, secured a pltcn in the Uardin: Arms Park, and the arrangements uptothe present point to a very satisfactory "Jubilee" season. Secretaries of clubs with open dates will oblige by communicating at once with Mr Osborn, who will be most happy to arrange matches. A cyclist writes to me as follows a cyclist I have travelled a good many miles over roads in various parts of England and Wales, but I am bound to say that the main roads of Cardiff are without exception the worst I have gone over. Take St. Mary-street or the Cowbridge-road or Queen-street, and the roads on both sides of the tramway are either most dangerously holey" or are covered with huge cinders, over which it is impossible to ride. Why a town of tho impor- tance of Cardiff should be handed bodily over to tho Tramway Company so far as its roads are concerned is one of those things which I, like Dundreary, can't understand. I know from painful experience that uo sooner does a tramway company obtain power to lay a line than a pre- viously excellent road is upset, and,what is worse, is never restored to anything like its pristine glory. Another matter in this connection I wish to draw attention to has reference to the street gratings to be met with in various parts of the borough. They might just as easily have been fixed in the contrary direction, and then the danger of a wheel of a machine getting through would have been almost minimised, but as they are now some of them are veritable death traps. A programme has reached me of an athletic meeting to be held by the Carmarthen Athletic, Cycling, and Aquatic Club, on Whit-Monday. The programme is a lengthy one, comprising in all 14 events, and is made up as follows:—Tricycle handicap from Guildhall-square around Picton's monument (twice), about 2 miles, open to tan- dems, sociables, and singles. (This race starts at eleven a.m., about two hours prior to the opening of the meeting): 352 yards open handicap for brjys under 16; 120 yards open handicap one mile bicycle handicap (club); high jump 440 yards open handicap two miles open bicycle handicap 220 yards open hurdle handicap; one mile bicycle handicap for riders of Rudge's machines purchased from Mr J. H. Spurry one mile open handicap three mile open handicap 440 yards obstacle race donkey race; and "tilting the bucket." Entry forms may be obtained of the hon. sec., Mr G. J. Hodges, 23, Frances-terrace, Carmarthen. During the afternoon the town band will perform a selection of music on the ground. The gentleman who asks me to publish the above in the course of his letter I am also requested to thank you most heartily for the support which you have hitherto given us with your pen, and to express a hope that you will continue to, do so. We have no hesitation in saying that your notice of the last sports went a long way towards making the same a success." Ever since reading the concluding paragraph of this flattering epistle, I have been doing my level best to blush. On Wednesday, the 18th inst., the Cardiff Harlequins hold their annual dinner at the Queen's Hotel. The story I told last week about the northern club and the Cardiff football player was, in the main, substantiaUy accurate.

MITCIIELL.-The spot-barred match of 12,000 up between these professionals, Mitchell with 4,000 points start, which had been in progress all the week at the Billiard Hall, Argyll-street, Regent-street, was brought to a conclusion on Saturday evening. In the early stages tho champion had played in capital style, and included in his breaks was a magnificent 552. At tho close of Friday's pro- ceedings Roberts was 1,047 points behind his opponent, the totals being Mitchell, 10,445; 9,398. The champion made a fine effort 011 Satur- day, and ran up breaks of 103, 123, 289. 103, 64, 101, 64, 147, 61, 263, 194, 68, and 109 but he could never catch up to Mitchell, who ultimately proved successful, by 173 points. Mitchell's best breaks were 43, 73, 66, 68, 70, 61, 86, 72, 59, 51, 64, 42, 53, 41. and 50. The final scores were— Mitchell, 12,000 Roberts, 11,827.
---------------A NEWPORT SCANDAL.
A NEWPORT SCANDAL. HOUSEHOLDERS HEAVILY FINED. At Newport cotvaty police court, on Saturday -before Mr Thomas Beynon and other magis- trates—John Hodgkinson, labourer, and Eliza- beth Hodgkinson, his wife, were charged under the Criminal Law Amendment Act with know- ingly permitting their house to be used for im- moral purposes. The defendant three or four months ago entered upon possession of a cottage at the fashionable village of Malpas, two miles from Newport, and, to the surprise and indignation of the other inhabitants, the house soon became the scene of disorder and the resort of soldiers, and other men, brought there principally by a lodger named Ellen Hardman.—Annie Nott, married neighbour, said shehad seen many strange young men going in and out of the house, and one day recently had a conversation with the female defendant, who told her she could not get rid of the lodger. Mrs Nott told her that the conduct of the bouse was tho talk of the village.—Mrs Sarah Powell, another neighbour, also corroborated, and Rachel Davies, wife of William Davies, foreman coal trimmer, Upper Marion-street, Newport, said she fetched her husband away from the house on the 3rd instant. She found him consorting with the lodger in her room. The woman threw an ulster over her and struck her and puiled her hair. Her husband interfered, and took the woman's hands out of her hair.—Mr Gardner (who prosecuted on behalf of the police): Then you had a little misunder- standing with your husband !-Mrs Davies (emphatically): Yes. (Laughter.)—What did you do to him ?—I gave him a knock, but he didn't come home that night. He's been going to the house for two months coil tin URIIY. -P.C. Watkins said that on one occasion he saw the female Hardman walking about 1Yhlpas in a suit of mason's working clothes.—Mr Gardner: Did she appear to manage the clothes pretty well ?—The Officer She did not appear to be able to keep up the trousers very well. (Laughter.)—Mr Beynon (to the officer): Have you seen her dressed in women's clothes?—The Officer: Yes. I saw her in court this morning. She's gone now.-A voice in court: Here I am.—A woman then appeared partially intoxicated, and after an altercation with Mrs Davies, was ejected.—There was no defence, except a denial of the charge from the femalfJ de- fendant.—The bench fined each defendant J65, or one month's bard labour, and they were removed in custody.
-----------AN YNYSIIIR TRAGEDY.
AN YNYSIIIR TRAGEDY. The body of Mr Isaac Davies was found hang- ing in a closet attached to his house, early on Sunday, by his daughter. Deceased was spoken to by his wife at 3 a.m., but was not seen after- wards. Dr. Jeffries, Ynyshir, cut the cord by which the body was suspended, and found it quite cold. Mr Davies was a highly respectable man, but had been unwell for the past few day?, and is known to have suffered from depression of spirits. Much sympathy is felt for the widow and chrildreu in their sad affliction.

THE TIN-PLATE TRADE.
THE TIN-PLATE TRADE. SWANSEA, SATURDAY. —This week the tin-plate trade his displayed extraordinary activity, the shipment being the heaviest of any week this year. They amount to 81,825 boxes; there have been received from work." for storage 26,490 boxes, and stocks in ware- houses and vans to-day amount to 68,86% compared with 101,222 this day last week, and 129,966 this day last year. After a prolonged period of almost unpre- cedented quietuess, there has been a forward move- ment in the trade. The demand is chiefly for Bessemer and Siemens' steels and cokes. LIVERPOOL, Saturday.—In ordinary times, and espe- cially during the good old days, with such a demand as there is on now, there should be a decided improvement in the state of the tin-plate trade here this wcek-hat is, if we are to juitge by the number of enquiries made. These indicate that there is a brisk demand going 011 for the "-tates, and judging by these, the demand is so great tbat;1 moderate advance in prices all round is the least that milters and sellers generally expected. But as these enquiries, large as they were, and for such an extended delivery, were only intended to be placed as onle a, should makers be prepared to book them at present prices, which we need hnrdly say are extremely low, to the end of the yrar. This, of course, was qu te impossible, and thus the bulk of the business offered hdd to be given the go-by. The demand, or rather the inquiries made were for themost part for Bessemer and Siemens'/steel plates wi: h coke finish, and also for coke tin plates. Each of these have been inquired for al ost in every variety of sizes and substances. The demand for charcoal or best charcoal tin plates has not changed for the better, the inquiries being few, an I the orders booked not making up a big total of boxes. The same may be said pro tty much about terne plates. The demand for these has fallen off in a most remarkable manner, anil shows no sign of reviving, like that of the coke grade tin plates. Not a little of the business offered for these was brought to a s cce^sful issue this week. The few orders booked were chiefiy Bessemer and Siemens' steel cokes-the former at from 13s to 15s od, and the latler at from 13s 6d to 13 9d IC., may be a few exceptional cases when ld to 3d more were paid. Charcoal tin plates are 14s 3d to 16s 6d, and best cnarcoal tinplates 16s to 17s IC terne plates, Is to 13s 6d IC. There is stil a sood demand for coke tiji wasters, at prices varying from 17s 3d and 17s 6d to 17s 9d. There are even some of the commoner brands of coke prime tin plates which only command the last named figures, whilst others are, like Bessemer steel cokes, 13s to 13s 3d IC. Tin is strong, at from E10312s 6d to £ 104 as. Scotch pig iron, 41s 2.) to 41s 5 £ d. Hema- tite pigs are 42s 6d and 42s 9d. Middlesbrough, 33s 6d and 33s 9d.
MEETING OF TIN-PLATE DELEGATES…
MEETING OF TIN-PLATE DELEGATES AT SWANSEA. On Saturday, at the Bird-in-Hand, Swansea, the fortnightly meeting of delegates of tin-plate workmen was held. Mr Richards, of AliereLrii, presided. The question of organisation, as suggested by Mr D. Handell, received careful attention, Mr J. H. John contesting some of its main principles. The question was ultimately referred to a committee. It was decided that no more money be forwarded to the central fund at Abercarn, but that the funds be now placed under the control of delegates, nine to form a central committee. Henceforth it was resolved that all moneys be sent to Mr T. Phillips, Manelly. The works on strike now are Caldicott, Mold, Ciurnos, and Ystaly- fera tinhouse. The contributions were ordered to be reduced from 5 per cent, to 22 per cent. of wages earned.

MIDLAND IRON TRADE.
MIDLAND IRON TRADE. WOLVERHAMPTON, Saturday.—The shipping demand for finishedjiron is becoming more satisfactory just now, and ironmasters have prospects of a bettsr month in this department than was April. The inquiries upon the market represent Australian, New Zealand, South American, and Canadian requirements, for sheets, alike plain and galvanized, merchant bars and hoops. Specifications 111 some cases are of tolerably good size, but the prices offered by merchants are, as to all the business, so poor that ironmasters have difficulty in covering cost, Certain of the prices now being accepted clearly mdicate that iroumakers are rel, ing on further casein the pig market, which will allow of their re- covering themselves. Certainly the pig market is steadily moving downwards, there being it p, e<ent no indication of a stay to the weakening of prices which has recently set in. Orders for hoop-iron are coming forward from the United States, but this district has to run severe competition in securing them, with Lancashire makers in particular. Nor is American custom greatly courted, on account of its great irregularity and of the practices to which merchants resort of being "off" with purchases directly the m¡ulŒt goes against them. Common hoops are £5 to £5 5s per ton common bars have got down to R4 15s to B5 general merchant bars keep at S5 10s and worked bars are £ b to £7 for second and first qualities respectively. Plain sheets of 24 gauge ar- £6 2s 6d upwards per ton and in the galvanised state, £ 9 16s to £10 for common sorts, packed in bundles, delivered at Livorpool; for 27 guage, Sll 5s to Sll 10s is quoted and for 28 guage, B12 5s to B12 10s. The association price of £ 4 10s for steel blooms offers no abatement. This district pig-iron makers advise that fair deliveries are still beiua made from the furnaces, but that now orders are coming forward only slowly, and that demand is decidedly within the supply; prices a.re named at 52s 6d for hot blast all-mine pigs, 110:1 for p-irt mines, and 30s for cinder qualities. 1m- ported brands are not rtrong at 37s, delivered, for Northamptons and 3/s 6d to 38s for Derbyshires.
THE TITHE AUDIT AT PENYBONT.…
THE TITHE AUDIT AT PENYBONT. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,—We, the undersigned, would be much obliged by your inserting this in your next issue. Your Monday's "South Wales Notes, relative to our rector, Mr Pngh, and the tithe question, we feel in duty bound not to pass by unnoticed. It is rather late in the day to begin to tind fault with a man who, for nearly 40 years (the greater part of it in this parish), has been doing his duty well and faithfully, and for no other reason than that he demands payment of that which he is justly and legally entitled to. The whole get-up of the opposition on the tithe audit day was farcical in the extreme. A certain well-known peisonago, anxiously wishing to pose as a martyr 011 horseback, was seen riding about apparently in great haste, and after much loud eloquenca succeeded in obtaining some sig- natures to a request for 10 per cent, return on the year's average, which of itself is 12 below par. Mr H Denncr, who had been wrongly informed and induced to sign, no sooner discovered his error than he immediately paid his tithe in full. We cannot help but feel, sorry, feaiing it may be the means of doing away with two pleasant evenings in the course of the year, when some dozen or more tithe-paying parishioners were wont to meet together and have a friendly chat over thoir rlass of grog and pipe. It would be trespassing too much upon your space to compare the state of the Church and schools when Mr Pugh came here, coming as he did with the strong recommendation of the late Bishops Kaye (of Lin- coln) and Jackson (of London), backed by such a statesman as Lord Palmerston, who offered Mr Pugh a choice of two pieces of preferment in the gift of the Crown. Twice did the congregation of St. Andrew's, Cardiff, ask the late Bishop Ollivant permission for Mr Pugh to remain there, and place a cnrate at Llanfoist. It is perfectly ridiculous in Cosmos or bis correspondent using the:wor.i "hauteur" i n'refereiiec to Mr Pugh it is so foreign to his nature'and disposition, wo some- times think it would bo better for him if he had a little. To say he does not mix with his people is most untrue there is not, we believe, a parishioner, man, woman, or child, who does not know and feel that Mr Pug-h is accessible at all times, and ready and willill at any hour, day or night, to visit them more, he is the faith- ful friend and adviser in temporal matters also. Should there happen to be anyone whom he has not visited, it must be without his knowledge, there beiuv itistiiy tithepayers who are not parishioners. We, who havo known Mr Pugh fur many years, feel ourselves aggrieved when he is made the subject of a mean and paltry attack by Cosmos," or his correspondents for the sake, we imagine, of airing his knowledge of Frcnch,—We are, It* WILLIAM WALTERS, I Church- ALFRED PARRY, f wardens,
