H B«leher appeared for the applicant, and Mr. W. Sankey and Mr. George Vand oppov<?d.

Commercial travellers were in the habit ot staying at the Terminus, and military parties passing through the town billetted there from time to time. It was proposed to entirely re- c?:lIgtru(?E the house, with i?w of including all th conveniences and facilities of a modern up-to-date buine8, though without adding to the drinking accommodation, the object of the enlargement being only to provide additional bedrooms The circumstances being practically the ^ame, and having grantd a full licence to Elliott how could they refuse one to the Terminus next door? Mr. Cltam. berlain, the tenam. had been a licensed victualler for many years, and might. well be entrusted with the additional responsibility. Hefore Elliott's made their application the Terminus was in the field. For >ixleen weary years they had persistently importuned the bench -!langhter>—and he now iiopod they might be sent gladly and cheerfully aWar. (Laughter.) The "Ian of the re-modelled TNlttinus- a reallv pretentious anel palatial building- was then handed up. and Mr. Bird, after per- n-nig it, asked. "Is that the "Koyal?" Mr. Belcher: I alll not surprised at your mistake, ..il". It is the Terminus. (Laughter.) Mr. Belcher went on to assure the court that there would be no iie w ew, repeated t hat no fresh facilities would be offered to con- sumo intoxicating drinks. The rent, was X,,20 a year.

CARDIFF BOUNDARIES. THE OPPOSITION FROM WHIT- CHURCH. The Mayor (Alderman Sir Thoma? )forel1j presided at a meeting of the Cardiff Parlia- mentary committee on Monday morning. I On the niiiiate. as to the new scheme for extending the borough boundaries. Alderman Carey expressed surpflee that Whitchurch should be I,f out ent:re)y. He ib..Iht a portion of the parish should be included, seeing th-tt "Whitchurch way was the natural outlet for Cardiff. The town was tied up on other sides, and the direction of "Whitchurch was the only unencumbered ontiet.

"A BEAUTIFUL VOICE" Is a rare gift—"a thing of beauty and a joy for ever." At the same time. it is a gift which requires a certain amount of consideration at the hands of its possessor, otherwise the inevi- table punishment will follow. and the voice, at all events a;;¡ a "thing of beauty," is no more. The sadness of its collapse might not. perha))8, atfel" hearers thereof so greatly were it not or the fact that the singer so often clings to the idea that his gift is still a "thing of beauty." and, therefore, does his best to make it a "joy C?) for ever." Tho vocal chord is a very delicate piece of mechanism, which should be avS well cared for as the mainspring of a watch. If a talent for singing has indeed been be5towed. then it should be cultivated in order to develop to the full whatever power and riclllHAS the voice is capable of. Instances have been known of singers having ruined th?ir voices through inha1:r;go the cold tli<ht air after coming out of the heated atmosphere of a crowded concert- hall. The slightest cold or cough affects the mire to an alarming extent, and, if neglected, the consequences may prove disastro118.

MONOPOLY IN BREAKS IN BARRY. REVOLT OF THE UNLICENSED. DRIVERS CONTINUED. Mr. D. W. Evans, solicitor, Cardiff, on behalf of ten break proprietors and drivers belong- ing to the Barry district, applied to the Barry magistrates on Monday to have the cases against them adjourned. The men in question had been convicted at a previous sitting of the court for plying for hire at Ibrry without. a licence, and were now entitled to have their conviction set aside, and to apply for a mundamuc against the district council, and he sought to have the rases adjourned for three months, as the long vaca, tion was now on. The district council had Clltered into an ag-recment whereby they had g-rantcd a monopoly to two break proprietors in the town. The district council had alõ:o decided to take counsel's opinion as to the legality of the agreement. The defendants were, however, willing to discontinue running their brsaks till they had an opportunity of applying for a mandamus. Mr. J. Arthur Hughes, clerk to the district council and solicitor for the prosecution, said a similar application was made at the pre,lo-, ?? ?;,ri. bnt lie bench refn'e" the applica- tiol1. and the men were convicted. Notwith- standing tlii "the defendants bad continued to defy the law, and had run their breaks for hire, in contravention of the council's bye-laws. Some of thA men had had three fcummonscs issued against them since their last conviction. The district council were the licensing committee, and. whether rightly or wrongly, these niaii should abide by their decision, and he was instructed to strongly oppose this application. The Bench agreed, however, to adjourn the case for a month. The defendants are Frederick Manning. Mer- thyr-street; George Andrew", Thomp80n- street; William Meyrick. Morel-street; William Davey, Charlotte-place; Edward Rudd, 77. Graving Dock-street; William Gulley. 7, Grecn- wood-street John Chaiuings, Thompson- street, and Richard Woodham.

MRS. BODINGTON APPLIES TO THE MAGISTRATES. At Cardiff Police conrt on Monday Mrs. Bodington. a lady who was somewhat poorly c'.ad but well-spoken, sought the advice of the magistrfltNJ m reference to some lepal matter in which she is concerned. She stated that she was a ward in Chancery, and that her guardians had tiled certain affidavits which she did not approve of. She asked their worships to advise her as to what course she should take. Mr. R, E Spencer: We cannot advise you. It is a matter for a solicitor. Applicant: But I have no meaU8 to get one Mr. pellc('r; "eH, we cannot help you her,. Mrs. Bodington here produced from under the blitek cloak she was wearing a small basket containing Inpr1"s. and asked to he allowed to lie sworn in order that she might give evidence concerning them. Nfr. Spencer: Xo. We cannot allow yon to do that, or help yot Applicant: Can't, sir? I have had people representing me here as an impostor, and I wish to prove to rou I am not. h', Spencer: We are sorry for you. but, this is not the right court. The applicant here murmured that she had heen to see certain solicitors, but had not received satisfactory adv'ce from them. They had said that if she was insane they could not hear her evidence. She, therefore, wished to be sworn aIld to proye to their worships that she was not insane, as he had been given to understand tha the magistrates were the proper authorities to ascertain if she was or not. fr. Morris (deputy-magistrates derk) again told the applicant the court could not render her any assistance, but she persisted in her appeal. Mr. J. B. Ferrier: Well, the question is whether we can afford her assistance or not. The Clerk: We cannot. si". Air. Ferrier: lil?il. I don't know. If it is within the province of this court to give advice through their clerk, I think the court should consider and do so. fr, Morris here had a priate consultation with the bench, and the Chairman (NI r. Spencen once more told Mrs. Bodington that they could not help her. Mrs. Bodington: But allow me to say that I have my documents here, and I can prove my identity. The Chairman: Will you stand down? The police endeavoured to remove her. but she refused to hear their commands to "Stand down," and again asked. "Will you not allow me to state whom I am? Surely. I may lie allowed to prove my personality, and remove the stigma of being termed all insane person." The police then removed her from the box, hut she quietly left the eourt when furthr ordered to do so by Officer Pitman.

Davies also mentioned tlie case in hi,h a >IImmOn6 for embezzlement had been issued against Jknjamin James, grocer's assis- tant, Mardy. His clients had gone into the matter, and found thero were certain diffi- culties in the way to prove the .?,,e.

WILLIAMS.) A FIGHT THAT DIDN'T COME OFF. John Jones. of Troedyrhiw, and Edward Powell, of Trcedyrhiw. were charged with "attempting to commit a breach of the peace at Pontlottyn on Suuday.—Police-sergeant Gam. men said that on Saturday afternoon he rei- ceivedinformation that Jones and Powell were to fight for £ 5 a-?ide on Sun* j day morning.H went in 8eareh the two men, and arre,ted Jones about 6.30 o'clock. He taxed him with his in-1 tention to fight, and Jones replied. "What am I to do? He won't leave me alone." After hs arrived at the police-station he said, "Let ms go. I don't want anybody to lose their money, and I promise you I will not fl tto- orr n:o:erlvO :.s :efJ J;I "All right." Both men were detained in cust? dv until Suuday mor.i,?g. when taey were re- Ie..d.-A,ked by the Bench if they had ,"?,. thing to say. Jones said the two of them put xcoupteufshiUit)? together when they were drunk and said they would fight. They never thought to fight at ,,11, but other people talked S much about it that they had to go on with it,-Both men were bound over in £10 each to keep the peace for six i,i..th?. a surety for each of them being bound in the same ?.M. ALL OVER A PENXY, Ann Jones, of Ponttottyn.?M summoned for as>aulting John D?y, and Thomas JMU Jones, a little boy, son of the defendant. was summoned for cruelly ill-treating a pony be- longing to the complaillant.-The complainant said the defendant's boy and another boy were throwing stones at one of his ponies, and when he l';i:tg :ctliU:hlj:ângldy: I Jones the mother appeared on the scene and said she would knock his u- brains out. She ¡ struck hmi on the head with a stone.—The boy was severely lectured by th Bcnch, and fl'l' 7s. 6d,. including ?' ?t, ti? Stipendiary remark- ing that h \V3Seorry ths boy was too young to be birched, this would have given him some idea of the sufferings inflicted on the pony.—Th3 mother was fine a :(1. and cosis, or fourteen days. A NIOTHER'S NEGLECT. Julia Suggersen, of 1, Gis-row, D.ywlais. was summoned at the instance of the National Socicty for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children for neglecting her daughter, Ellen Suggersen, eleven months pid, so as to cause hr .ie 12, s-ry suffering.-Mr. D. W. Jones, who appeared for the society, said the case was one of the worst that had ever come under the knowledge of the society. It was one that ought to be .nt for trial.-Inspector Jone; gave p3rticular? of the case, describing the mother as in a per- petual state of drunkenness, and the child covered with dirt and filth —Jane O'Neill, a neighbour, said it was the custom of the defendant to go out from ten in the morning until six in the !vening and get as drunk as ?e ?.uld. She always left the child lying on the floor with almost nothing on, and no ftre in the house. Witness often went into the house through the window, brought the child out. washed and fed it, and gave it to the husband when he returned from work at n;ght. Ollisr neighbours had done the same. The husband was a very steady man, and worked regu.arly.— Honorah Gallaghan. another neighbour, gave similar evidence. This witness on one occasion put a petticoat on the child. and the defendant as soon as she saw it went and pawned it- Mrs. Mary Ann Keefe said Inspector Jones broughtthe child to her a fortnight ago. Since she had had it, ;t had eaten ravenously, and during the last twelve days had increased three pounds in weight. Although nearly twelve months old there was no appearance of teeth. -The husband, a hitcher at the Dowlais Col- lieries, said be earned 26s. per week, but every- thing he bought wa3 pawned.—Mr. D. W. Jones said that two months ago the defendant was sent to prison for a month for neglecting her other children, and they were taken away from her.-The Stipendiary said he could net imagine anything more horrid than the woman's neglect. He could not understand how her husband had put up with it. It was too sickening to think about. If there had been any charge of actual violence they would have given her the extreme penalty in their power; as it was she would be sent to prison for four months' with hard labour.

LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. THEATRE ROYAL, CARDIFF. There was a crowded house at the Theatre Royal, Cardiff, on Monday night to welcome Mr. Gilbert Tate's spscial company in that mct popular of mU30ical comedies, "A Trip to Chinatown." The company en its previous visits has always been heartily received, hence the large attendance on Monday night, and henc3, also, the three hours of incessant laughter which had been rightly anticipated from this pieca, so full of life and movement to the tune of pretty and sprightly music, accompanied by touches of whimsical humour and grote-que situations. Mr. Harry Ftecher as "Ben Gay" was exuberantly funny, and }lr, Walter E. Shine, as "Welland Strong," was irre- eiatible in the comic situations in which he posed as a dying man with a greett stock of vitality. Mies Edith Vane, as "Mrs. Guyer," tlie heroine of the piece. p!.tyed with charming effect as the bewitching w4dow with two tri.. to her b.?. Mi" Vane wa 8uft\r. ing somewhat from indisposition, and for that reason her acting was all the more praiseworthy. Another artiste one easily recognised was Mies Nellie Sheffield, the little lady who a couple of years ago was so markedly successful, as "Topsy" in the Theatre Royal pantomime. Mr. Tom John Morton wag a born waiter, while Mr. F, Bo?,8f?, ? in i: old-time character of "Ben Gay's" faithful ser- vitor gave a very clever representation. Miss Ettie Carlisle, as "Flirt," infused much life into her acting, while the crowning success was achieved by Mr. 0, E. Lennon in his original character of a Chinese serving-man. The first night's popular verdict augurs well for this week at the Royal. GRAND THEATRE, CARDIFF. "One or the Bravest." after an absence of some years, made a welcome re-appearance at the Grand Theatre on Monday night, and was produced by Mr. Chas, M'Carthy and an oxcel. lent company of artistes, including Mr. W. Cronin, who is described a. the prince of female impersonators. rh? drama is a sensational one, and at the same time provides eodle amusement. The story relates how "John Heath" tMr, Thos. Herbert), a prosperous mer- chant, is murdered by "Rufus Ward," hi, partner, over a love affair. and the misery of the widow because she refused to marry "Rufu." uLanv Howard," the fireman. who repeatedly co01e8'to the rescue of "Mrs, Heath" fa character ably undertaken by Miss Florence Chase), was sustained in a manly manner by Mr. M'Carthy,^who had full scope to display his talents, and well did he avail himself of it. The comedy characters brought forth peals of laughter, and the villain was equally frdl received with indignant hisses. Little "Mnrv Heath" (Bahy Florence), a very rrstty little gir'. did exceedingly weH, her acting, irgïi)g, and dancing b*ing one () the featur-?9 of zh?? ;liCi. t;r; \eale¡nf fect portrait of "Tiger, win is fond of "thillr" exciting," and who did ail the d'rty work for "Rufus Ward." The remainder of the cast is filled hy capahle and well-chosen actors and actresses, and the drama ought to attract large audiences during the week. THE EMPIRES. CARDIFF. The Bicycle Polo Team from the London Empire introduce a good spectacular show at the Cardiff house this week. They are four in number, two on each side, and they playa game which is more like Association football than polo. At two opposite corners of the stage are miniature goafs, covered with wire netting, and into the.. the ball mu-, be ,ent in order to score. The ball is propelled or passed by the wheels of the bicycles, the front one being often turned round in a circle to secure a good hot. The game is certainly an exciting one. but could only be indulged in by expert bicyclists, and then on a very even surface. The match on Monday between the blue3 and reds or,?, t,I ood deal of interest. Messrs. Buntb u? 1. and Barnard, ?,: "make-up" is sufficient to cause any amount of lauchter, gave a varied entertainment. hi which grotesque dancing, bone duet and old- fashioned conjuring tricks (all of which were exposed at the end) played a prominent pari, They possess a dog which is a trained klepto- maniac, and his numerous and barefaced departures from the ordinary code of honestv evoked continuous laughter from the crw:ie1 house. Miss Millie Hylton still personates the male thing called man, and, although b,1' 1hree songs were well received, there w.is not one cf them which was new. The Sister3 Jessie and Josie Preston sing a couple of interesting duets, and the Three Albiotis, as well as being able to produce good music out of anything that appears b??,dy, such as a ?t.-I, or a table, or e'-Ikig.stick, are clever acrobats. Miss Lillie Williams gave a classical turn to the entertainment with a couple of songs which she sa ng. the second, "I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls," being exceedingly well received. The Sisters Slater are a trio of bright arcistes, and Mr. Fred Hallam is an exceedingly comic vocalist. NEWPORT. The bright, particular star" of the Usksids hall this week is Misa MinniF Cunningham, who s, ,?? pr?t 'Y, pl?a?ig ditties in jght ..?d dainty method of her own, which straightway goes to the core of all hearts. Mr. J. H. Mil- burn has an old fame of high standing, but his" c^medianism has all the freshness and purity of truest art, increasing in you hful charm with repetition. As an actor-vocalist he wins ready applause. The Bros. Dare are AmericclII gymnasts who introduce not a few novelties from tlut resourceful continent, and Mark Melford's Company, in a sketch called "Desperation." also have s!r:11 novel items to display. The high-class music of St. John and Dwight his besn heard before, and is as good as ever, while Miss Nelly Martell's turn of song and dance and Drew and Alder's ver- satility are equally attrac'ive. SWANSEA. The Swansea hall is this week favoured by the appearance of such popular artistes as Bonnie Kate Harvey, Cora Caselli, Fred Lincoln, and othersl The programme is strong, and one which the patrons of the Empire will appreciate. Monday night's per- formance was a success, and the public will do well to attend this week. GRAND THEATRE. SWANSEA. On Monday night Swansea playgoers were favoured with a re-visit from "The Royal Divorce" Company. This celebrated drama, dealing with the domestic fortunes of the first Napoleon, was, never more adequately repre- sented. Mr. Fredk. Moyes as the "Emperor" and Miss raura Hansen as the unfortunate "Josephine" could, we should say. hardly be improved upon. The stirring action, the pathos, and at times the comedy of the scenes were all as heartily njoyi-.d as they were strikingly presented. THE LYCEUM, NEWPORT. )Jr, Wm, Bourne's company give a praise- worthv presentation of Tha Voioe. of Lon- don" at the Lyceum. The piece has nrmy intrinsic merits, but, perhaps, one of the best features of the production is the vast amount of scenut skill h)". in th mounting.
