E. Morgan, F. Gunter, C. Burbin, D. Morgan, H. Wallace, W. Berrow, S. Dixon, and W. Seys. Penarth kicked off, and following this some fast open play occurred, each end being visited. Penarth narrowly missed scoring, and Morgan, taking a free kick, almost scored, a minor being conceded. The Risca forwards dribbled well, and got to the Penarth lines, but relief was brought by Kirby and Garrett. The home three-quarters tried hard to break the defence, but for some time it was too good. Eventuallf Garrett got across with a try, which was converted by Shepherd. Almost im- mediately afterwards H. Kirby scored, and, after a miner had been conceded by Risca, Herbie Morgan again did the trick. Both tries were converted. Half-time score Penarth, three goals and two minors; Risca, one minor. At the commencement of the second half Penarth pressed, but the visitors played up pluckily, and for a.considerable time prevented a score, and got into Penarth ground. Here Morgan received and kicked to the Risca half, and after some passing by the three-quarters, Angove scored a try, which was not improved upon. After the drop out, half-way saw play, but Risca. did a little pressing and notched a minor. Just afterwards H. Kirby got well away and scored, the try being converted; but Risca, putting some dash into their play, got to the Penarth line, and Dixon scored an unimproved try. Final score:— Penarth, four goals, one try, and two minors Risca, one try and two minors. CADOXTON JUNIORS v. ROATH CALEDONIANS. This match was played at Cadoxton on Saturday last in tine weather, and before a large crowd of spectators. Losing the toss, W. Lewis kicked off for the homesters, who had to play with the sun in their faces, and J. Meikle, following up, prevented the visitors returning, and play was taken close to the visitors' line. F. Woodfield securing from a scrum started passing, and W. Gore came near scoring. A. F. Hill and J. Davies dribbled away from a scrum near half-way, and when in the visitors' 25, J. Durant picked up and ran to the line, where he passed to J. Davies, who got round the posts. The referee, how- ever, held that the ball bad been thrown forward, and disallowed the try, a scrum being formed where the ball had originally started from. T. Griffiths, receiving from Woodfield, gave up to C. Frampton, who put in a good run to the Caledonians' 25. By long kicks the visitors took play down the field, and through a mull by Winch, soon afterwards scored a minor. The drop-out was well returned over the line, and Winch touched down a second time. Half-time score :—Roath Caledonians, two minors; Cadoxton Juniors, nil. The Caledonians having re-started the game, the Juniors took play close to their line. Woodfield put in a kick near the visitors' 25, which went over their line and the back picking up ran to the goal line, where he kicked the ball, however, did not rise sufficiently, and J. Meikle, jumping up, secured and scored the first try behind the posts. W. Davies converted. The re-start brought no relief to the visitors, and within a few minutes E Llewellin scored. The kick at goal was charged down. The Juniors now played up splendidly, and Woodfield, who played a brilliant game all through, sent the ball out to three-quarters like clockwork, and some good passing was indulged in by the homesters who now outplayed their opponents at all points. W. Gore, getting a pass from T. Griffiths, scored the third try. The attempt to convert was not successful. It was not long before T. Griffiths again got over with a try under the posts. J. Miles took the kick, and kicked what appeared to be a goal the referee, however, only allowed a try. An unsuccessful drop for goal by the' Juniors, secured a minor, and J. Davies soon afterwards kicked over and registered the second minor. Following up a kick smartly, J. Meikle crossed the line and scored, through the visitors .back taking it too easy, his second try in the match. W. Davies failed to convert. A third minor fell to the Juniors before time was called when the score read:-Cadoxton Juniors, one converted goal four tries and three minors Roath Caledonians, two minors. For the winners C. Frampton, F. Woodfield, and J. Meikle were conspicuous throughout. MrERTHYR v. PENARTH A. Played at Goitre, Merthyr, on Saturday last. Several times the Penarth men only narrowly prevented their opponents scoring. Tbey played very much on the defensive, and at half-time Merthyr had obtained three minors. In the second half Fryer, from a smart run, scored a try, which was not converted. Final score :-Merthyr, one try; Penarth, nil. CADOXTON JUNIORS v. ROATH CALEDONIANS.— Played on Saturday afternoon last at Cadoxton, when the home team proved victorious by a goal and three tries to nil. ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL. BARRY DISTRICT A.F.C. v.

i BOARD OF TRADE RETURNS FOR FEBRUARY. The Board of Trade returns show that the imports for February amounted to E33,984,085, compared with 429,759,640 in the corresponding month of last year, being an increase of £ 4,224,445. The exports for February were R,17,679,449, against 417,093,309 in 1893, showing an increase of £ 586,140. The imports for the two months ended February amounted to 472,442,698, against A62,886,110, being an increase of A9,556,588 as compared with the same period of last year. The exports for the two months were 935,831,329, against 435,119,328, being an increase of £ 712,001. An analysis shows that the great increase in im- ports for February is due largely to the following causes :—Imports of barley are increased 4424,519, oats A219,180, Indian corn £ 505,693,sugar £ 347,242, cotton from the United States A3,501,142, and Australian wool 457,455,932. The increase of the exports is due to the increase in the quantity of manutactured textile goods sent abroad.

REVIEW OF PUBLICATIONS. FOOTBALL THE RUGBY UNION GAME." The above serial magazine, edited by the Rev F. Marshall, is, no doubt, one of the best works at present issued on the subject of the Rugby Union game. Part 6, illustrated, price sixpence, will be even more acceptable to Welsh readers for perusal than previous numbers, containing, as it does, an entertaining account of international Rugby football in Wales, also touching upon "The Four Three-quarter System how it should be played." Connected with the article is a most faithful full-page portrait of the representative Welsh team of 1890. There are also excellent portraits of Gwyn. Newman, Bowen, Lyne, Arthur Gould, C. J. Thomas, the Bros. James, Nicholl, &c. The present part also deals with International Football: Ireland," and Rugby Football at Oxford," with illustrations.—Publishers Messrs Cassell and Co., London sold at all bookstalls. THE STORY OF SIR WALTER, RALEIGH." The Story of Sir Walter Raleigh constitutes No. 14 of Cope's Smoke Room Booklets, the origin of this article being A Day in a Tobacco Factory," written for the English Illustrated Magazine. Joseph Hatton, the writer, in some prefatory remarks, speaks of Sir Walter Raleigh thus Watching the unshipping of the fragrant leaf, and following the process of its manufacture, my thoughts continually recurred to the illustrious pioneer who first made smoking popular in England. To think of him is to see him, brave in hat and feather, as art loves to represent him. To see him is to" fall under the spell of his individuality, even as though he lived. The publisher desires to explain why these two contributions to the literature of tobacco appear under One cover. Acting on the complimentary wish that I should give 'A Day in a Tobacco Factory' it seems to me that the two papers find their natural home between the cover of the same Smoke Room Booklet." It deals most interestingly with the period of history enlivened by the genius of Sir Walter Raleigh, and a visit to Messrs Cope's tobacco factory, Liverpool. Price threepence, on sale at the railway bookstalls. "THE COSMOPOLITAN." The Cosmopolitan for March, a first-class illustrated monthly magazine, is a very successful periodical graced with beautiful illustrations accompanying articles by eminent writers.

The remainder of the con- tents are of equal interest and high-class character. The Son of a Carpenter," with grand photo- graphic illustrations, is contributed by Lyman Abbott. The article by T. C. Crawford, entitled The Disappearance Syndicate," continued in addition to the following :—" The hemlock." The Navajo," Letters of an Altrurian traveller," by W. D. Howells; In the Covent Garden," "The Teachers' College," by Rosabelle Holt; God's will and human happiness," The passing of spring," "In the world of art and letters," "The progress of science," &c. The Cosmopolitan Magazine is not to be excelled in this class of literature, and is sold at the low price of fifteen cents, from the offices, Sixth Avenue and Eleventh- street, New York, U.S.A.

DOMESTIC INFELICITY AT BARRY DOCK. At Penarth Police Court on Monday last—before Mr Pyke Thompson and Major Thornley-John Doyle. was charged under a warrant with threatening his wife, Mary Doyle, a boarding- house keeper, living in Sydenham-street, Barry Dock, in May last.—Mrs Doyle said her husband smashed the window and threatened to cut her open. He then ran away, but returned in about five months, when she forgave him, but he was now worse than ever.—The Bench dismissed the case, but granted a summons for illtreatment on a later date.

-+ ACADOXTON WOMAN CHARGED WITH ROBBING A CARDIFF SAILOR. Ellen Yates, a married woman, was charged at Penarth Police Court on Monday last with stealing a sovereign belonging to a Cardiff sailor named John Ellis on Sunday evening at No. 27, Holmes- street, Cadoxton-Barry. The prosecutor did not appear, but evidence was given by Acting-Sergeant Ben Davies and a man named Henry Hymen, but in the absence of principal testimony the prisoner was discharged.

RESIGNATION OF THE REV. D. H. REES, BROADSTAIRS. HIS ADVENT TO BARRY. After five years of successful work as minister of the Congregational Church in the Vale, Broad- stairs, the Rev D. H. Rees has accepted a most hearty and unanimous invitation to undertake the pastorate of the church at Barry. This change will be a great loss to Congregationalism in Broadstairs. Throughout his stay here Mr Rees has displayed so much energy that the mem- bership of the Church has nearly doubled, a long-standing debt has been removed, various structural alterations have been made, and last, but not least, a commodious schoolroom has been built. This alone constitutes a splendid record. involving constant effort and determination. But beyond this Mr Rees has made a distinct mark as a preacher. Visitors during the season have shown gratifying appreciation of what has been a con- sistently high-class ministry; and Barry was by no means the first church which made an attempt to secure Mr Rees' services. Until now, however, he has resisted all attempts to draw him from Broadstairs. In the pulpit, Mr Rees reminds one of a Welshman under restraint; and perhaps the "restraint" has not a little to do with the pleasure and profit his sermons have afforded to his English hearers. With frequent suggestions of Welsh fire," Mr Rees combines a calm 8.1ild candid estimate of modern phases of thought. His thinking is courageous without being reckless; and in this respect he is sure to be of great value, as a teacher, to any thoughtful congregation. By courtesy and tact, Mr Rees has made a favourable impression in all circles of society, and many friends outside his own denomination will share the sincere regret with which his departure is witnessed by Congre- gationalists throughout the county.-Tlw North Foreland Chronicle.

SAILORS REFUSE DUTY IN BARRY ROADS. On Monday last, at Penarth Police Court-before Mr J. Pyke Thompson and Major Thornley—four sailors named Henry Hanzelet, Samuel Abern, Charles Miller, and Fiederick Ablyren, were brought up in custody charged with refusing to do duty on board the British barque Glenivor in Barry Roads on the 10th instant. The captain stated the ship put back to Barry Roads owing to stress of weather, when they gave up work and positively refused to do duty, the result being that the ship could not 'proceed on her voyage. The charge was also proved by a Barry Board of Trade officer, and defendants, in reply, said they were overworked on board, and could not stand it any longer. Defendants were sent to prison for a month each with hard labour, the Bench remarking the case was a very serious one.

MARRIAGE OF A DAUGHTER OF THE CONTRACTOR OF BARRY DOCK. On Wednesday afternoon, the 7th instant, Miss Alice Maud Walker, of Mount Ballan, youngest daughter of the late Mr T. A. Walker, contractor of Barry Dock, &c., was married to Dr William Frederick Abbott, of Bournemouth, at St. Stephen's Church, Caerwent. The Rev A. E. Sorby, rector of Darfield, Sheffield, and Rev T. D. Jones, of Caer- went, were the officiating clergymen. The bride was given away by her brother-in-law, Mr W. C. Nott, and Mr O'Hara acted as best man. The bridesmaids were Miss Walker (sister), Miss Marie Walker (cousin), Miss Bradnack, Miss Allen, and Miss Nott, Miss Jennie Nott, and Miss Dolly Nott (nieces). The bride was attired in white poplin, embroidered with shamrocks, and tule veil. The bridesmaids wore dresses of white poplin, trimmed with white lace, and carried shower bouquets of violets, and each had a gold brooch set with cornelian and pearl, the gift of the bridegroom. After the ceremony the bridal party returned to Mount Ballan, where a reception was held, and subsequently took train for the South of England for the honeymoon. The presents were numerous and valuable.

SALTMEAD WORKMAN'S CLUB AND INSTITUTE, CARDIFF. CARDIFF IS ALARMED AT THE PROGRESS OF BARRY. A dinner under the auspices of the Saltmead Workman's Club and Institute, Cornwall-road, Cardiff, was successfully held on Thursday evening last. The chair was occupied by the president (Mr H. Jarman), who was supported by Councillor Johnston, Messrs Winn, W. E. Jarman, Edwards, and others, when an entertaining repast was supplied by Mr A. Pomphrey, Cardiff, and the other arrangements were efficiently attended to by the genial secretary of the institute and his wife, Mr and Mrs R. Sealey. The toast of The Queen and Royal Family having been cordially received, the Chairman submitted the toast of Our Local Governing Bodies," and in doing so said if every member of the Cardiff Council worked like Councillor Johnston the port of Cardiff would be famous, not only as an export, but also as an im- port, town. (Cheers.)-Itesponding, Councillor Johnston, after referring to his endeavours to pro- mote the interests of the ward he represented, referred to the harbour trust scheme, and said it was one of the most important that had ever come before the Council at Cardiff. The drawing-up of the different reports connected with the scheme had been left almost entirely in his own hands. He had been in Cardiff for twenty years, and during that time he had made the import trade his particular study. The trade which he came there to open, namely, the trade between America and Cardiff, he regretted had been absolutely wiped out. Bristol had, he was sorry to say, beaten Cardiff in this respect. It was true that Cardiff had developed by leaps and bounds in the import trade, but there was one factor which they would have to face, and the harbour trust scheme would, if brought to a sue. cessful issue, be the means of checking the trade which now went to Barry, At the present time it was a fact that Barry shipped more than half what Cardiff shipped, although only three years in existence. Barry, last year, had shipped consider- ably over four million tons, and why could not that amount be shipped in Cardiff where there was plenty of room. (Cheers.) The speaker referred to the different aspect of affairs which would have been presented had a dock been made at Grange- town instead of at Barry, but, in the absence, he said, of a dock at Grangetown, they had to endeavour to make up what had been lost, and he felt sure that the harbour scheme was just the thing to make Cardiff one of the largest import ports. The geographical position of Cardiff favoured it, and it was not too late to see the prog- nostication an accomplished fact. (Applause.) The port of Cardiff was shipping more coal to-day than it ever had before, but he should like to see a greater increase in the import trade. (Hear, hear.) If the Bute Docks and the Taff Vale Railway Companies, Lord Windsor and the Barry Dock and Railway Company, had made a mistake in the past, and could see it and come together, surely it was the duty of the corporation to endeavour to their utmost to bring the harbour trust scheme to a practical issue. (Cheers.) It was their duty to study the matter well before they held up their hands against it, for it was one of the most advan- tageous schemes that could be carried out for the port of Cardiff. (Hear, hear.) They had not gone into it blindfolded, and they should give their unanimous opinion that the harbour trust had been promoted for the increased prosperity of the town, a fact which was evident when they considered the opposition of New- port, Barry, and other ports. (Hear, hear.) He would suppose for the moment that the coal trade of Cardiff failed. In that event the trade in the locality would be paralysed, but if they introduced new branches, then the failure of the coal trade would not prove so disastrous as it otherwise would.—The next toast was that of Our Club," proposed by the Chairman, and responded to by Mr Rees Sealey, the secretary, who said the institute was started on the 24th of November last, and up to the present there were 238 members on the books, of which 170 were fully paid up members. (Hear, hear.) The club had progressed ever since its establishment, and he was sure still more success would attend it in the future. (Cheers.)—The toast of The Press was also proposed, and received with musical honours, the name of the representative of the Barry Dock News being coupled therewith. Several songs were well rendered, and a very pleasant evening was spent.

THE LATE FATAL COLLISION IN BARRY ROADS. SUSPENSION OF CLYTHA CAPTAIN'S CERTIFICATE. Judgment in the Board of Trade inquiry, held last week, into the circumstances of the loss of the Clytha on the 17th of February last, when that vessel collided with the Cadoxton in Barry Roads, and caused the sinking of the former-mentioned vessel with the lost of seven hands, was given on Friday, by Mr T. W. Lewis (stipendiary magis- trate).—The Court was of opinion that a good and proper look-out was not kept on board the Clytha, and that the Clytha had not been navigated with proper and seamanlike care. The master's certificate was, therefore, suspended for a period of twelve-months. I

PRESENTATION AT BETHESDA WELSH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH, BARRY. A very enjoyable evening was spent by the members of the above church at Barry on Saturday last. The meeting was convened with the view of making a presentation to the Rev T. Howells, their respected minister, on his advent to the place. The presentation consisted of a number of most useful books, which, no doubt, will be Mr Howell's Elysian fields, where he will find the spirits of the greatest men conversing. The influence of a boot is known to most of us. Thou, window of one's soul, Canst ever claim the peace of day And lead us from things foul To feel Dame Wisdom's hidden ray. After some singing, recitations, etc., the Chairman (Mr J. E. Rees) made some pithy remarks. Amongst others he said he recollected when 80 similar testimonial was made to a minister of the gospel. This revet end gentleman facetiously said that such a testimonial was not entirely free frotØ selfishness on the part of the donors, as they naturally expected some fruit from the perusal of the books to be evident in subsequent sermons, whereas if a purse of money were given the would be no such expectation. Despite this, ministers looked far more favourably upon fI. collection of books than their value in money, The chairman also said that although this presen- tation was not a voluminous onf\ a great of knowledge could he extracted from reminded the audience of the old saying, Beware of the man of one book." He then called upon Mrs Griffiths to hand the presentation to Afr Howells. Mr Howells suitably thanked the members of the church for their kind appreciation) and said he did not look upon the intrinsic value of the presentation but upon the brotherly feeling it indicated. After some eulogistic remarks by deacons and members of the church, the proceed- ings concluded with a cordial vote of thanks to Mr Rees for presiding, which office he alwaYS fulfils to the satisfaction of all.—ABTH.
