PENARTH LOCAL BOARD. APPOINTMENT OF A NEW SURVEYOR. RESIGNATION OF MR. W. L. MORRIS. A special meeting of the Penarth Local Board was held on Monday evening last to consider a recommendation of the finance committee that the surveyor (Mr J. Court), be instantly dismissed, and to appoint a new surveyor. Mr T. Bevan pre- sided, there being also present-Messrs J. W. Brewer, Councillor W. B. Shepherd, W. L. Morris, H. Snell, G. Pile, L. Purnell, D. Morgan, E. B. Riley, W. J. Cole, R. Beavan. and J. W. Morris (clerk).—After a discussion, Mr D. Morgan moved the adoption of the report, of the finance commit tee. -Mr Riley seconded.—Mr Pile said he would pre- fer if the matter had not come forward. He thought it would have been possible for Mr Court to have held office for the three months, and thus give him a better chance of securing a situation. He would suggest, however, that they pay him three months' salary.—Mr Snell did not think anyone would object to that, but he should like to know how Mr Pile thought they were going to do the duties of the Board. The finance committee had met twice and found it impossible to do any business.— Mr Purnell thought there had been sufficient toleration of Mr Court, and the sooner he went the better it would be for the town. They could not go on like they had been. it was mere child's play.—Mr Shepherd asked whether the present contracts had been carried out to the satisfaction of Mr Court.—The Clerk replied in the afHrmative, and the report was adopted.—Mr W. L. Morris moved that three months salary be paid Mr Court. -Agreed to.—Mr Purnell asked whether they were not bound to advertise for fresh applicants, or take the first on the list ?—The Clerk said they were not bound to advertise.- Mr Shepherd said,con- sidering the predicament they had got themselves into, he thought there was one thing they had to be thankful for, that the next man on the list was a local man thoroughly acquainted with the town and one who would be very much hetter qualified to take the position of surveyor iu Penarth, where he lived and had helped to lay out the place. He thought they ought to congratulate themselves that they had such an easy way out of their difficulties. He had the greatest confidence in recommending that they appoint Mr Birkenhead as surveyor. Mr Birkenhead was thoroughly acquainted with every street in Penarth, and had to do with the laying out of the town for the last twenty years. — Mr D. Morgan had great pleasure in seconding. He had met many gentlemen lately who had spoken strongly in favour of Mr Birkenhead's appointment, and it was the wish of the owners of property that the Board should favourably con- sider Mr Birkenhead's application.—Mr Pile pro- posed as an amendment that Mr Ivor Evans, who was also a local man, be appointed. He was a gentleman well acquainted with the town, and his father had lived there before him. He came before that Board with splendid testimonials. Mr Shepherd had said the Board had let themselves into a predicament. He did not see that at all. The Board had been lenient, and given Mr Court another chance. They were sorry this matter was forced upon them as it was, he did not think the action of the opposition was at all honourable or gentlemanly, rushing into print and calling public meetings.—Mr Purnell and Mr Morris rose to a point of order, but the Chairman asked Mr Pile to confine himself to the amendment.- Mr R. Bevan seconded. Like previous speakers, he could congratulate the board upon having two such able young men to select from. They were both local men, and both had spent a considerable portion of their time in the development of the place.—Mr Purnell trusted they would not be led away by unworthy motives, but would make up their minds honestly to do their duty. Whilst he meant to support Mr Birkenhead, he had no intere" in his selection other than the good of the town.—Mr Snell said Mr Birkenhead had acted under him for nearly nineteen years, and he could bear testimony to his abilities, and he was sure, if he was elected surveyor to the board, no member would have reason to be sorry for it.—The Chairman put the amendment to the meeting, for which Messrs Brewer, Coles, Beavan, Pile, and Riley voted, Mr Evans thus being elected. Messrs Snell, Morgan, Purnell, Shepherd, and Morris refused to vote.—Mr Morris After that piece of business I resign. You may take my resignation, Mr Chairman. I should be ashamed to continue to sit with such a body. This is a matter of jobbery. Mr Brewer only comes here on certain occasions to vote against members who do the work. As to Mr Pile and his insinua- tions I consider myself as good as him or Mr Brewer, or anybody else here. I should be ashamed to sit with such a board.-The meeting then terminated.

RESIGNATION OF POLICE-SUPERINTENDENT WAKE. We understand that Superintendent Thomas Wake, now in charge of the Kibbor and Dinas Powis Divisions 'including Barry and Penarth) of the Glamorgan County Police Force, has tendered his resignation, which will be considered at the meeting of the Glamorgan County Council. This officer has served over 30 years in the Glamorgan Constabulary, and before that upwards of six years in the Devonshire Constabulary. Mr Wake has decided to take this course on account of failing health. He was born at Westbury, in Wiltshire, in 1832. In 1857, he joined the force at ;Exeter, and after six years' service went to Merthyr as a first- class constable, and it was during his stay there that he was promoted to the rank of sergeant. In 1868 he came to Cardiff, where, during his first year's service, his talent was recognised by his appointment as chief-clerk. In 1871 he was made inspector and superintendent five years later, whilst in January, 1891, he received the position of deputy-chief-constable, vacant through the retirement of Superintendent Matthews, of Ponty- pridd. This appointment, together with the chief clerkship and inspector under the Weights and Measures, Explosives, and Contagious Diseases Acts, he has held up to the present time. During the earlier purt of his career the superintendent endured some rough encounters, in connection with which mention must be made of the Pont- lottyn riots between the Irieh and the Wellh in 1864-5. The roughest times, however, were tho..e he experienced while at Merthyr. Gradually the strength of the force has increased, there being no less than 406 members at the present time.

TRUANCY AT COGAN. STRONG REMARKS Bf THE BENCH. At Penarth Police Court on Monday last— before Major Thornley and Mr T. R. Thompson- W. L. Buckland, Mary Hill, and other parents were charged, at the instance of the Cogan and Llandough School Board, with neglecting to send their children to school. Major Thomley ex- pressed dissatisfaction at the manuer in which the attendance officer, Thomas Aylward, got up his case. It was very wrong, he said, to state that the defendant in any case had been previously convicted, when there was no evidence whatever forthcoming in proof, and he hoped such irregu- larities would not recur.

REVIEW OF PUBLICATIONS. "LAZY LAND." The excellence of the new series of Lazy Land is fully maintained in Part 2 to hand. The one hundred pages which comprise the volume are graced with eight illustrations by first-class artists, and the short stories connected with the same are uncommon and full of interest. For the small sum of threepence it is remarkable how the proprietors of Lazy Land cm afford to issue such a large periodical, and containing so many entirely original and entertaining stories. Amongst tha contents of the March number are the following Glossop's Story," by M. Bennett How it Happened," by Arthur Landsberg The Story of a Police Spy," by F. Edmonston The Professor's Prodigal," by E. Harcourt Burrage On the Ice," by M. Howarth Tremadoc's Guinea." by Herbert Flowerdew: "His Promise" by F. Tenton; "Medical Mysteries," by E.

Lazy Land is obtainable at all bookstalls and newsagents, or from the publishers at 158, Fleet- street, London, E.C. "THE COSMOPOLITAN. The general character of the illustrated monthly magazine, The Cosmopolitan, increases in ex- cellence, and is a worthy representation of the productive powers of the New World in the direction of high-class literature. A Rejected Manuscript" is the title of a thrilling tale by I A. S. Hardy, with illustrations by L. Marold. Of special edification to ship-builders is W. A. Dobson'a descriptive sketch of The designing and building of a warship." Mrs Eastman is singularly happy in her illustrated article upon Indian wars and warriors, 'describing the golden ag-e of the Indian, when war and the chase were his sole occupations, taxing to the utmost the heroic virtues of an unyielding temper and a sinewy frame. The most prominent of the re- maining articles are those by W. D.

DISHONEST CHILDREN AT PENARTH. FOUL LANGUAGE BY THE YOUTHFUL DEFENDANTS. DISGRACEFUL CONDUCT OF PARENTS. Five young children, named Albert Webber, William Denning, Walter Sherwood, Lambert Denning, and Sarah Dibble, whose ages ranged from 14 to 8, were placed in the dock at Penarth Police Court on Monday last-before Mr T. R. Thompson and Major Thornley-charged with stealing coke and bricks from the yard of the Penarth Brickworks Company on the 12th instant. —Mr John Smith gave evidence to show that on the evening of the day named he Raw the defen- dants picking coke into sacks and bags in the yard of the Penarth Brick Company. When they saw him they all ran away. He had for a long time cautioned children against stealing coal and coke from the yard. Bricks were also carried away. The robbery had been a most sys- tematic one, and the loss to the company had been great. He spoke to the children, and the language they made use of was worse than any- thing he had ever heard made use of by men.- Police-constable Edward Parsons gave corrobora- tive evidence.—Major Thornley in giving judg- ment, said the Bench agreed the robbery wasa most systematic one. It was a most disgraceful thing that the parents of the children should encourage them to steal in this way, and he would advise the prosecuting company in future to trace the coal and coke and take proceedings against the parents as well. The girl Dibble would be bound over to come up for judgment when called upon. Sher- wood, being eight years of age, would be dismissed with a caution. The other three, who had behaved very badly, would receive twelve strokes each with a birch rod.

CONSERVATISM AT PENARTH The annual meeting of the Penarth Branch of the South Glamorgan Conservative Association was held on Wednesday evening last, Mr J. Y. Strawson being in the chair.—Mr Strawson was unanimously re-elected president for the forth- coming year; Captain Thompson vice-president. in the place of Colonel Ingram, who sent in his resignation and Mr Alfred T. Taverner, hon. treasurer.-The delegates appointed from the general committee were Messrs J. H. Cory, Tope, J. H. Milburn, W. Trenchard, and H. J. Thistle.—Mr D. Lloyd Lougher (Cardiff), agent to the South Glamorgan Conservative Associa- tion, attended, and gave the meeting the result of last year's registration work in Penarth, from which it was shown that more than three-fourths of the new ownership and lodgers' claimants placed on this year's register were either Conserva- tives or Unionists. This was considered very satis- factory, and, upon the proposition of the Chair- man, a vote of thanks was unanimously carried thanking Mr Lougher for his attendance and attention to the registration work for the past year. The fact of Unionism gaining ground in Penarth is very apparent by the large increase of membership and enthusiasm at the Conservative Club established there under the popular and able management of Mr Jeffreys, the members having increased beyond the accommodation of the premises, and it is in contemplation to enlarge them forthwith.

COGAN BRICKPONDS QUESTION SETTLED AT LASf. At a meeting of the Penarth Local Board held on Monday evening last the clerk (Mr J. W.

LOCAL FOOTBALL. PENARTH v. MOSELEY. On Saturday last a more unpropitious day could not well have been experienced, rain and sleet falling incessantly, and the ground being utterly sodden with twenty hours' downpour. Tiie match was played before a mere handful of spectators. Teams:- Penarth: Back. C. Kirby; three-quarter backs, H. G. Alexander, H. KMorgan, R M. Garrett, and H. Kirby half-backs, T. H. Hutchings, and G. W. Shep- herd forwards, G. Brown, Ellis, J. Cranston, Jackson, J. L. Lawdey, F. Matthews, G. Matthews, and T. Morris. Moseley: Back, J. F. Byrne; three- quarter backs, F. Byrne, Rogers, Luat, and Challoner; half-backs, Rowlands and J. Rogers forwards, Lycett, Cattell, Ebsworth, Humphries, F. Cattell, R. Rowlands, and Allen. Moseley kicked off against a slight wind. Penarth at once pres- sing, Shepherd put in the first noticeable feature with a fine run to the home 25. Two minute& later a fine piece of combined work by the Penarth halves and three-quarters gave Alexander a chance, and, running grandly, he got in at the right corner. The place-kick, a very difficult one, was not improved. Penarth pressed on the kick-out, getting to the home goal-line, but Rogers relieved with a fine dribble to the centre line, but the visitors soon forced back, and Shepherd ran in, the place kick agdoin failing. Penarth still pressed, till another forward rush relieved, and Moseley pressed. Then Alexander kicked away, and racing past the home backs dribbled right to the home goal-line, but there played weakly and lost the ball. A hot struggle followed in the home quarters, the forwards relieving and the game being taken, to the centre line, near where it held for some minutes, the home forwards well holding their o-vn. Half-time score: Penarth, 2 tries; iioseley, itit. After the interval Moseley went off with an irresistible rush, taking the ball down on the right. Lycett picked up the ball and all but got over, being thrown into touch at the corner flag. Then Penarth worked to the centre, but loose rushes took the game back to their goal-line. They were hard pressed, but the backs defended grandly, and at length relieved the pressure with a series of short runs. The home forwards took the ball back however, and A. Rogers had two drops at goal, but went wide. Moseley con- tinued to press, and Rowland made a mark in position giving a difficult chance. Fred Brvne made a good effort, but just missed scoring. Moseley still pressed, but could not get through. At length Penarth raised the seige and rushed the ball to the centre. Here Shepherd put in a fine run, and passing to Alexander, the latter was only dragged down on the line. The home forwards broke away, and the ball was rushed the whole length of the ground, kicked over the goal-line, and Cattell fell upon it, but Fred Byrne missed converting. Moseley again pressed, the ball being rushed over the goal-line by the forwards from a scrum, but Kirby saved by kicking dead. Pen- arth now got away again, and fine runs by the three- quarters repeatedly looked like scoring, but the home tackling was sound, and the game continued near the centre. Moseley at length forced the game back, but could not get beyond the Penarth 25, and time came with the visitors winning. Final score: Penarth, two tries Moseley, one try. GLAMORGAN COUNTY POLICE v. DINAS POWIS. Played at Dinas Powis in wretched weather on Saturday last. The police have played six matches, against police teams this season, and have been very successful, winning every match. To-day they tried an outside team for the first time. Dinas Powis kicked off against the wind, and it soon became evident that they were too light for their mneh heavier opponents, but after tricky play Clode scored after a kick down the field for Dinas Powis, Williams failing to convert. From this on the police warmed to their work, and quickly scored two tries from Will and Abraham, thus placing them three points to the good. Half time score:—Police, two tries; Dinas Powis, one try.

ELY JUNIORS.—This match was played at Cadoxton on Saturday last in wet weather, rain falling continually throughout the game, and on this account only fifteen minutes each way was played. M. Evans started for the Juniors, who had lost the toss, and had to play with the wind and rain in their faces, and Winter being collared before he could return, scrums ensued near the visitors' line. Frcm a scrum, Davies put in a flying kick over the line, and secured a minor. T. Griffiths put in a good return to the drop-out, and Stadden missing the ball, M. Evans and A. Hoddinott rushed it over and gained a second minor. The Jnniors tried passing, but owing to the miserable state of the ground it did not come off, and half-time arrived with the score :—Cadoxton Juniors, two minors; Ely Juniors, nil. The Ely captain re-started after the usual interval, and D. Griffiths got in a good return to their 25. Scrums resulted in favour of the home team, and A. Hoddinott, M. Evans. and A. F. Hill dribbled over the line Stadden, the visitors' back, however, was on the alert, and kicked dead before any of the Juniors could drop on it. The visitors followed up the drop-out and took play to the centre, but not for long, as the Juniors' forwards dribbled down the field, and were not stopped till they got near the line, waere the Ely back turned it into touch. D. Griffiths and A Hoddinott dribbled away from a serum in the visitors' 25, and kicked into the hands of the opposing centre, who attempted a kick across the field, evidently with the intention of giving his wing possession. The ball, however, failed to rise, and T. Griffiths and F. Hood rushed it over elose t" the posts, the former scoring a try. The kick at goal failed. Time was then called, the score stand- ing:—Cadoxton Juniors, one try and three minors; Ely Juniors, nil. ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL. BARRY TOWN v. PORTH RED ROVERS. Played at Porth on Saturday last.
