WELSH STREET NAMES OF ABERTAWE.
WELSH STREET NAMES OF ABERTAWE. The Sports and Sports Fields of Old Swansea. By W. H. JONES. Has it ever struck you how very few i Welsh names of streets we have in Swaii- ocap I know that many of our older townsfolk who habitually use the j language will frequently naane a street by a Welsh word instead of the familiar English one. HEOL GAERFUR. I met with a singular instance of this many years ago and made a note of it at the time. It was Hc-ol Gaerfur," or street leading under the walls of the Gaer -or Cattle; and by dro ppingo-n-o letter, the first r, the word, as pronounced gave quite & different sense, Geitur, Goats. This leads us back, doesn't it, to our dis- cussion of Goat-street, but the suggestion is of sufficient interest to ercuee the re- visit. Of other Welsh street- names we Biav remember one now merged in 1,0 Plymouth-street, and unfortunately so I think. as destroying a link with old Swan- eea. I refer to Mysydd-street, eo named after the great aud little Mysydd fields (Y Meusydd being equivalent to the fields") which ran down from Nelson- street nearly to Oystermouth-road, and which had the curiously-named Medico- hall" (still surviving in Nladcpc "-stre-et) built upon them noar-by the Bope-wolk j fields, which many of the inhabitants wiU j remember to have been opposite Clarence- I terrace- WIND STREET. And many a true Welshman will call Wind-street Heel Gwynt. The street was in the old days a cul de sac; a no th-Whfa-re sort of street, for when you had reached its northern end you had eorme up to the Castle-bailey bridge, and the only way on towards Greenhill was j down" either Car-or Gaer lane, on the left, or Castle, or Cadwalladr's-lane on the right. As we pronounce the woid. Wind "-street in English to-day, there is only one meaning to it, which refers to the decided twist which the street gets* through itft having been built to follow the course of the river, or Town reach." But the Welshman's Heol Gwynt has quite a different meaning, and I think it is not the wind of rude Boreas." Wind- street led down to the Ferry, and was the way to the east, to Went, or Gwent, or Venta Silurum. The first of t-lie ancient divisions of Glamorgan which you entered after crossing the Tawe, was Corwenydd, which has been translated as tho utter- most Gwcnt," and thi? if flowed. M?nt that no ner had you got out of swa.n'll eea than you were in Gwent, for Kih'ey was in Corwenydd. And Heol Gwynt or Gwent would thus have represented the gtreet leading towards Gwent. I should like very much to know what my We-lsh i reader,g think of this suggoatiozl-w-hich by the way is not mine. CRUG-GLAS. I have mentioned Green hill, which your Welshman will, naturally, refer to as Crug-glas, the name given to a popular chapel upon the Green-hill. When this suburb of Swansea was really a green hill, without the city gate, it must have been a chartming spot. There was a consider- able extent of common or waste there, around which some small white-washed cottages had been built on land leased from the Corporation cf Swansea. A-nd in the middle of the common was an en- closed space wherein the Corporation had erected the public time-piece,a s-tindial- for the repair and maintenance of which many entries are to be found in the old corporate accounts. And here, for many many years, the butchers of the town had to bring their bulls to be baited," in the bull-ring which the Corporation set up, without which they could not slaughter their bulls except at the risk of prosecution and fine. That practice was kept up until comparatively modern times, and it doesn't convey to our present-day ideas any great impression of culture." But we must remember that those were the days of rough and ready It sport," when cock-fighting was as much esteemed as the more refined cult ol the race-course. One of the reviewers of Mr. L. W. Dillwyn's book on Swansea, which referred to this bull-baiting, quite wittily o-bserved that it was probably the intention of the Corporation that the inhabitants should bo assured of tender and juicy rump- too,ks THE WORLD'S END. I When the Green hill was built ovet, and gave way to Irish Town" (as it was, much later, marked on the first Ord- • nance map), the bull-ring was removed to S the Woyld's-ecd. Where was that? It has generally been regarded as Wassail-1 square; but I have my doubts. It was, j at any rate, not far distant from there; j but again there is the association of a I Welsh name with tho llúÍghboarhootl which wiU, I think, help to identify it. I The old town ditch -an around the walla | in the long P-90, and found its outlet into the river between the Parado and the! Mount, where now is the half-tid-a basin of the North Dock. At the back of Fisher- street it was not called the Ditch, but the "Cadle." Why? is have ahyays won- dered. Cadle is place-name on the Pontaxdulais road, where its meaning is clear—the pla-ce of battle; ha.ving reference i to the groat engagement which found in Penllergaer the locality of ,the" head of the camp"; but here, in Swansea, a short length of the tow-n ditch could have no such meaning as a place c'f battle, THE FIRST SPORTS GROUND. The other day I was turning over the leaves of that oiosfc interesting classic c-i our literature, William Owen Pughe's Welsh Dictionary, and found in the first volume, at page 188, the word Cadias "— a small close, yard, or enclosed plat of ground "and Piighe's explanation thac j a green for sports and games, which is called < tvllnpath QhVnlMU in some places, j is, in others called Cadias.* Now York- place Chapel and the Lancastrian Girls School, close by it, were both, when built, described as being near the twmpath," and they occupied the site of an old slaughter-house which had been built at tho twmpath/' So that pore wo have the words Twmpath and Cadle .existing at tllÍ.s one point, and both used in connectioli; with sports, and I am led to conclude that the wide area of York-place was th? locality of tho later indulgence in the crude sport of bull-baiting in Swansea, and therefore the World Vend. Aik1 OadlG the stream or ditch had been eaic, II as far back as the flftesn hundreds. PAGEFIELD, AND HUMPHREY STREET. i I cannot dismiss this subject, without I reproducing from my common-place bock a singular suggestion made in the columns of the leader so long ago as 20th July, 1887, by that remarkably well- informed townsman of ours, the veteran Alderman Philip Rogers, with regard to the bull-ring and the World's-end; which he, rightly, styled Town's-end. He eaid: I had it on the authority of old people a long time ago: that Pagefield, where I Pagefield House is now situated (now (191&) known 315 Clark's College, at the bottom of Paere-tfttreet), was known to them as Cae Angeor Shon Hwmphre (John Humphrey's Anchor Field), which is the Town's-end reterrod to. The anchor was fired in the i centi-e of the field, to which was attached the ring to secure the bull for baiting. Pagefield is now occupied by George. street, Nicholl-street, and the west side of Page-street. HUMPHREY'S WELL. John Humphrey waa the leader of rough eports, and a. man of questionable character," Mr. Rogers continued. He lived in a cottage abutting upon the hill on the northern side of Pagefield, and near the well so much appreciated for the purity of its water by the inhabitants of Swansea. The well was- named. aåtür him, and was known as John Hum- phrey's Well until a few years ago (pre- vious to 1837, of course), when it was closed, the land being required for build- ing purposes." The well is still memorised in Humphrey-Street, near the top c £ which, & little way along the north side of St. George's-terrace, the famous well was eituatod. Most of the few Welsh etreet-nameg of Swansea remain in the northern district of the town, where we have P-ont-y- glasdwr, Pistill-row or Cae-pistyll, and others whose names will readily occur to you and the origins of which are 8m-I iiciently obvious. GWYDIR GARDENS. There is. just this one name—Gwydir— to which I want to refer, in the west end of the town, and which we debase so much by adopting an English pronunciation for it. Applied to Gwydir Gardens, Crescent, and Terrace, and also to Pantygwydir- road, its neighbourhood keeps alive the knowledge that it is derived from the land known for many centuries as Panty- gwydir. This place-name is not easily expressed in English. The pant" or hollow, or even grove, is simpie enough, and correctly describes the contour of the land; but the gwy-dir oeoms difficult, be causa gwy means something of the nature of lVarer-nd in connection with tir," or land, suggests wet ground, 01 the waterley I wrote about in my last article, for instance, rather than land through which a rivulet runs. Yet kere there waa a rivulet, too; an important feeder for the Brynmill reservoir, now culverted, in consequonoe of which, if I mistake not, the mansion-house oi Pantygwydir was entitled to a free supply of town's water, just as Brynynior, Uplands, and I fancy Rhyddings, we^e and are probably also similarly entitled for a like deprivation of their ancient streams.

LABOUR'S VIEW. |
LABOUR'S VIEW. | DIRECT ACTION. Candidate's Statement. I With a However." I At a meeting in the Hermon School- j room, Plasmarl, at which there was a j good attendance, Councillor Dd. Richards (who presided) eaid there was a wave oi feeling in the constituency in iavour of I the Labour candidate, whom he was per- j fectly certain to succeed on this oce4t?,IOU. I Mr. Frank RQse, M.P. (?orth Aber- | deen), Eaid he behev?d in what was called J bread and butter politics; believed th?t internationalism, like charity, began, or I ought to begin, at home- (applau,,O)- that it was better to inculcate it by example than by precept. He wanted to make Britain a Britain for the British, ¡ and then they Could turn round to the Poles; the Czecho-Slovaks, and Jugo- Slovaks, and the people of Timbuctoc, SIovaks, See this thing that we hava II made; go and do likewise." That wa& his internationalism. (Applause.) II ASHAMED OF PARLIAMENT. I Alluding to the munition vote of 185 I millions in the first year of peace, Mr. Rose sisked if they wondered they had to work and pay almost prohibitive price8 for the common necessities of life, that taxation was high and living low. How long was this sort of thing to continue: The Labour Pasty, at any rate, had en- deavoured to etop this mad extravagance, this unthinking, unheeding squandering of the national resources. The men the country had sent to Parliament had, nearly all of them been made richer by the war, men who had thought nothing of exploiting the interests of England. They were sending Williams to join their company! lie had never felt so much ashamed of the Mother of Parlia- ments as in the last few months. There was a greedy crowd of capitalists and parasites whom Swansea had helped to send. For God's 6ake don?t let them add to it. Let them get out of their head.; I the rubbish about a new heaven and a new earth, a new outlook. The war had purified nothing, and there was nothing I unusual about it except its magnitude. ABOUT DIRECT ACTION. I He wanted those who were inclined to I regard direct action with any eort of I favour to pause and think what it I meant. (Hear, hear.) They could not touch the capitalist by downing tools, could not hurt him, could not hit him— and he was the only one they wanted to hit. When they were told about the Germans putting women and children in front of the battle they wero exceedingly and properly indignant. But did they quite realise direct action meant putting, not foreign but their own women and children in front of the industrial battle: (Loud applause.) Personally he was out to get the capitalist down, and didn't j care very much how ho was got dow" but he did not want them to waste 11kiv iime on futilities. They could not get j hun down by downing tools. j "ABSOLUTELY I MPOSSI BLE." i Supposing everybody came out on strike to-morrow. Next day they would go back. I It waa absolutely impossible to get any such organisation among tha workers oi ¡ this country. Did thoy believe there was. a Government which would be bluffed b;. a threat of the impossible? Did they not tico how hopelessly impossible it all wM-how hopefully possible was the other way that was in their hands. If they made their own Government they surely had the remedy in their own hands. (Applause.) MR. WILLIAMS. I Mr. David Williams., who arrived I during the concluding stages of Mr. j 1 Rose's reference to direct action, referred I to the Cambria Daily Leader requc? | for a declaration as to whether he was a j direct action man or a constitutionalist. If he were tho former, instead of spend- j ing tweuty-orte years on the Swansea Ccr- i poration, being chairman of the HCilth lor the last twelve years and vice-chair- man of the Parliamentary since ie." formation, he should hare devoted ii:z time to spurring up people to the value'{ of direct action.' (Applause.) It-was be- j cause he believed they had the power by constitutional means that he had con- tinued as a representative and was a candidate at this election. (Applauw.) There were occasions, HOWEVER, when the eyes of the public were filled with dust, and temporarily blinded be- cause of the influences exerted by those who did not want constitutional repre- sentation of the workers, when they had to esriowsly consider the weapons they possessed. The last election was one of these occasions. At Morriston. I Councillor W. J. Da vies presided over I « public meeting held at Tabernacle Vestry, on Tuesday evening. Pending the arrival of the candidate from other meetings, speeches were de- livercd by Mr. Holmes, national organ- iser of the Agricultural Labourers, an?. Mr. R D. Wallhead, Labour eandir'ai.. for Coventrv at the General Election, and I the chairman. The Chairman made a special appeal to the 6teelworkers to supprt Mr. DaVid Williams if they wished to eoe carried j out tho resolution adopted by them for their Newport ccnieronce. I \Tr. Holmes dwelt upon the profiteering ¡ of the landlord and farming 'clashes, and eaid that, as for patnotism. they had sent ten labourers*" sons to the Army for ¡ every one of the sons of landowners and farmers. Mr. Wallhead outlined the policy of the Labour Party as be-j}g out for the irre- ducible minimum to maintain life and ¡ comfort and the democratic control of industry. On the arrival of the candidate, Mr. Wallhead concluded with an appeal to j return him as a tried and trusted public I man whose fidelity, ability, and earnest- ness they had proved. Mr. David Williams, repeating the statement made at a. previous meeting that he is not a direct actionist," re- ferred to the refusal of the Chaweellor to reduce the workers' income tax. Don't threaten to strike; was his advice, r* but strike at tho ballot boxes on July 10th." On the motion of Mr. T. D. C?orge, seconded by 1\(." Howard Jones, a resolu- tion pledging the meeting to support the candidature of Mr. Williams was unani- mously carried.

OUR C?dr?M -0- 'i w?r?r?FA?rorsj I ?O?ZD. i j By Mr. John Rowlands (Waunarlwydd.) This little island, which, as Shakes pear says in U King John," hae ooopad froa other lands her islanders, appears to b the chief instrument at present in th hand of God to bring man nearer unt man. The Wedsh, Romans, Angles Saxons, Danes, and Normans wre directs here by an Unseen Hand to form a nation that would, feoiae day, lead the entir world. But America is at our heels. Germany was very great, but sue cole nieed for the sake cf Germany—and lo"t Britain oolonises and rules other land for the sate of humanity—and wins. Ailt the world knows it. She turns tlpe foreigj wilderness into a city, and salutes tin half-clad barbarian en the distant stran4 with the kiss of peace and goodwill. HPA ship on ilia lonely ocean is the harbinget of iii,to millions; and her man-of-wax as things are tc-day, a signal of justice right, and pc.wnr, which protects the weal + from the strong. It is magniiicent, 8114 # Heaven wills it. Her work ia greatl threefold in her relation with tho world- she colonises for the sake of humanity; she governs other ecuntries that so fai have been under the heol of the tyrant or the slave-dealer, or unable to govern themselves, end for their mutual goodi J r such as Egypt and India—the letter witi her 300,000,0&0 sonls being t'ependem greatly upon our resource. Some day, when har many racoe have learnt to ad mire one another and work for theu country's good, she will have her own government to shape her own destiny .But now wo are there bo help her, and inspire the whole continent of Asia through her peopk. Then vrt police th< world, as we did in Ev;Jt some yiekr* ago, getting often more Mcka than half- pence" for our good intentions. OUT sailor knows our importance abroad—how we help in the redorpptioTt cf mankind- arresting here snd liberating there—and that is how he, and all shore men, are 8CI patriotic; they know cur Ass vraveg for our mutual good. His ship is his home; the rarest sail his next-door neighbour; and the majestic cruiser on the horizon a. symbol of his country's greatnees. It is the society cf the lonely deep. OUR PREMIER. Doubtless our aeroplanes in tie near future will share in the groat work of serving humanity all over the world, flying over eternal snowe and desolate moun- tai, aa well as the tumultuous óoean, bringing joy to BlUlMnc, and new hope for all. The Atlantic flight was magnifi- cent, drawing the whole world in its wake. The Government of to-day is beyond all comparison th6 best tie country has seen, though it is unable to servo allclasses at one in its care for the nation. But the Premier, doubtl?s, is the chosen of God r-a. Rtatesman that t?li?hte to govern by ?.-mking for more light and kn?wled? and by the correct practice of consultation. Let Lloyd George get fair play; be hae led we jnto victory, and will crown her Peace &Is& if we can but show patienca an d a wes bit of forbearance after the greftt struggle. The Premier loves the masses, and has done more than any other statesman to meet our wisSes. But we cannot erpect in a day the reforms that are wrapt up in yar. And we shall have I to be strong at the ccrc to lead the wtrld. I THE LEAGUE. I The League of Nations, which, by the I way, waa suggested by some of us more I than twenty years ago, is pregnant with splendid possibilities for good. bearing upon it the ctamp of Divinity and the tmivers&l brotherhood that is coming. It is the greatest event einsa the Birth at Bethlehem, and £ n outcome of it. We shall always look for reforms, and momen- tous ones, at timoo-ior reforms must fol- low the rising cf the sun; but we efcall have to stand firm and immovable in the stability cf cur Government, giving oon- Sdenca to the human race. This is of vital consideration to tho world. IVo shall have to draw a line between that fine liberty that givoth life and that I liberty that consumes itself. Russia, com- pared with England, is a continent; England is email Btate with ten v thousand different industries. What suits the one will pot suit the ether. And above all, to remain constant and strong, we muet not report—any of ua-to the oruel, eelfeh, and inhuman practice of profiteer- ing, which eats the vitals of our social life. But the noble spirit of enterprise, which is the salt of life, must not be dis- couraged in any way; for the spirits of some men, varied and great, find a delight at all risks in serving others. The -on whoee mind makes good his means must not ba looked upon with suspicion, or the human heart will get discouraged, de- moralised, and without stamina. Do not let U3 curb the commercial genius of the individual when national property is not t in question; or what is he to do with his profits—whether he lie a lord or a working We are a small -iqtion- ct the oore, with Tfimng and mighty nations to com- pote with, and others to lead. We, at the height, arc ready to decline, unless we take care. Other nations are beoommg great, and are only just beginning to tap I their infinite resources, while we must I harbour ours greatly, and educate our people how to make the best use of them, I with the deft hand of invention. OUR GREATEST HOPE. I In fact, England's great hope is in her and moral. and based on religion; for to forget God is to forget ourselves; for riehtoousness esajteth «■ nation."
