THE CHURCH BELLS OF BARMOUTH. APPEAL TO THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES. At a meeting of the iiarmouth District Council, held on Wednesday week, the Rev J. Gwynoro Davies presiding, a letter was read from ke Inde- pendent and Baptist churches calling attention to the nuisance caused by the ringing 01 t'e Lei s of the new church, which it is said, seriously disturbed ths con- gregations. The letter Oegged or be council to help the churelez t) secure the'r right* as e.tizeus to wor- ship God in iheir own time. Fur many years the services had been held at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., but now the deafening noise ct t';o bells was t-ueh as to cause the first f a t of the service to be very uncomfortable and ineffectual. It wn., further stated that 350 members of the chapels had agreed that the letter fhoulj be gent to the cbtrict council, t) whom they appealed to i^e all their legal power to liberate them from this oppression, ibis ietter was signed onbeh Ifottho chur ehes by Rhys 'J. IIuws and I Tob as John Roberts (minister.-). Tbe Cha.rman siid ne did tot wl,b to irrltita the Church people, but the council could nut ignore a serious grievance of this kind (hear, hear). TheEe bells were rung at unreasonable hourand, in bis opinion, created a nui;a:ic= that was very irritating b Nonconlormists. He knew from experience that when he I. d his own congregation in prayer on Sun- day mornings he could n t hear his own voice in consequence of the deafening noise of the r ells. If a German band played before a pla^e of worship, they would be speedily removed, an i he lahd to see the difference between a German band and the Church bells. He feared that moral suasion would Lot affect the rector ot L'armouth, who had on another occasion laughed at their reasonable appeals, bat he believed that if the i>ishop of Bangor was approached he would r aiily listen to their complaint and allow Nvnconfo. mists to enjoy peace on the Sabbath day. Mr W. George (the clerk) said that the bye-laws did not provide for this kiud of nuisance, but a declaration from the council to the effect that the ringing of the bells was a public nuisance would carry effect, though the remedy lay in the hands of those who suffered inconvenience. Mr John Adams suggested the calling of a public meeting, as he considered that would be more effectual. Capt Hugh Morris stated that in the chapel where he worshipped it was absolutely impossible to pro. ceed with the services, and the clanging ot the bells had rendered one preacher so nervous that he nearly broke down. Dr Hughes, speaking as a sttuach Episcopalian, expressed his sympathy with the Nonconformists, and suggested that overtures should be made to the council of St John's Church. He really thought the bells w< re rung unnecessarily at t-mes, Mr Wynne Williams said thai uiiless the council exercised their powers without deity, the Nonconfor- mist bodies would take leg. proceedings. Eventually, a resolution was unanimously passed deolaring the unnecessary ringing of bells on Sunday a public nuisanoe, and urgently appealing to the St John's Church Council to abate it. The matter will come before the Church Council this week.

NOTES FROM OXFORD. The past week has been perhaps the most eventful of the term. The chief, event of course, was Mr Asquitb's visit to the Oxford Union, added to which we had the finish of the Torpid Races, and the celebration of St David's Day on Saturday. Last Thursday night will not be easily forgotten by the great crowd of under- graduates and visitors who assembled at the spacious debating hall of the Oxford Union. Amid great enthusiasm Mr Cleland, of Balliol, moved "That this house condemns the present agitation in favour of voluntary schools." This was opposed by Mr Boyd- Carpenter. The President of the Union, Mr J. A. Simon, spoke third, and Earl Beauchamp followed. Then we listened to a taking and vigorous speech from Mr Asquith, a speech quite free from the flowery declama- tion which some people associate with what they conceive to be eloquence, but at the same time one which carried earnest conviction fith it. As it was reported in the daily papers it would be useless to repeat any of it, To the disappointment of several who bad hoped for better things, the motion was lost by 13 votes. St David's Day was duly celebrated at the meeting of the Dafydd ap Gwilym Society on Saturday night, We were visited by Mr D. Brynmor Jones, M.P., who delivered a spirited address, chiefly upon the prospects of the University of Wales, and the great improvement of oratory in the Sonth Wales Circnit. Then several musical items were gone through, including quite a new feature In our meeting?, namely, an attempt at "pennillion singing. To-morrow (Tuesday) it is expected that some sort of a settlement will be arrived at with regard to women's degrees. Profes r Case is regarded as leader of the opponents of I the scheme, and Mr T. H. Grose champions it- It is quite noteworthy what a strong opposition there is to the scheme among undergraduates, especially as indicated in their way of treating the question in College Debating Societies. It has already been allowed by both sides that admission of women to degrees would certainly not be followed by 8dmission to convocation and the governing bodies of the University. Seeing that restric- tions such as these would be inevitable, it would seem better that things should be as they are. Though this is not an item of news, I may be. allowed to express the graf ification of all op here who hail from Cardiganshire at the honour done to Aberystwyth at the recent Shrewsbury meeting. The welcome news was conveyed to us by Principal Hhys after his return from the meeting of the University Court. We only hope that the date of the installation of the Prince of Wales will "be arranged so as to give all of us a chance of being present, somewhere about the end of the summer term. T. A.

They should misB Mr Jenkins verymuch, eapeeiaUy aa Commissioner of Taxes. Mr Jenkins had also for six years been vice-chairman of the Montgomeryshire County Council, and he (Mr Pryse) bad beard upon very good authority that Mr Jenkins had rendered material assistance m putting that important body into eperation. He proposed a vote of condolence with tbe family in their sad and sadden bereavement.—Mr J. Smout seconded, and said that Mr Jenkins would be very much missed by the whole town.—Mr J. D. Davies, town clerk said he thanked them very much for the kind expressions which bad fallen from their lIps and their sym- pathetic reference to the late Mr Jenkins. Mr Jenkins bad been very near and dear him, and he (Mr Davies) had spent the whole of hie lifetime with him. If anything tended to lessen his feelings of regret and sorrow it was these kind and sympathetic expressions of eondolence-

THE ROYAL VISIT. PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMENTS. In connection with the visit of the Prince of Wales to Aberystwyth, the first preliminary meeting to make suitable arrangements was held at the Town Hall on Wednesday evening, the proceedings being private. The Mayor (Councillor Thomas Griffiths) presided, and the members of the Town Council and the local members of the College Court were also present. The following business was tran- sacted. A deputation was appointed to wait upon the DowagorMarcbionessofLondonderry to thank her in the name of the town for the interest she had taken in the matter, and to ascertain her wishes and make the necessary arrangements for the reception of the Prince during his stay. A small committee was ap- pointed to draw up an agenda with a view of a meeting of all the public bodies of the locality being convened for March 11th, by which time it is hoped substantial progress will be made with the arrangements. Pending this meeting Mr Mortimer Green, registrar of the College, and Mr A. J. Hughes, town clerk, were ap- pointed hon. sees.

BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The fortnightly meeting of this Boari was held on Monday, when there were present.—Mr E. J. Evans, ohairnan, Messrs J. R. James, vice-ch*irroai>, Evan Simon, Richard Davies, H. E. Buns-dl, Charles Davies, Evan Lewis, David Davies, Thomas Morgan, Thomas Powell, David Morgan. George Price, W. A. Miller, John Jones, J. M. Williams, Hugh James, T. B.

The following amounts have been paid in out-relief during the past fortnight. Per Mr John Jones, to 150 recipients, £411418 Od; per Mr J. D. Jones, to 204 reeipienta, X51 18a Od; per ar J. Morgan, to 138 re- cipients, JC45 511 Od. MASTER'S KBPORT. The master reported that the number in the house was 47 as against 60 during the same period last year. Vagrants relieved during the pact two week" was 71,as against 42 during the same period last year.

A GIFT FOR THlJlNMATBS. The matter reported that a parcel of periodicals had been received from Lady Lisburnc for the use of the inmates. On the proposition of Mr Haghes. seconded by Mr B. E. Morgan, a hearty vote of thanks was parsed to her Ladyship for her kindness. COAL FOB THE POOR. Mr Hugh Hughes reminded the Guardians that a performance was given in the town a few days ago, as a result of which sufficient money had been ob- tained to give a quarter of a ton of coal to about 77 persons in receipt of out relief. He thought that it was their duty to pass a hearty vote of thanks ts HI and Mrs John Morgan and Lieutenant and Mrs Stephens aud others, who were the promoters. Mr Miller seconded the proposition which was carr ed. A MATTER FOR DISCUSSION. Mr Salmon said that a bastard chil i was kept in the house for a charge of Is 6d. The mother was in service with a guardian and he gave notice that at the next meeting he woaJd re-open the case.

ASSESSMENT APPEAL. v The Clerk app:ied for their consent to allow the Assessment Committee t.) appear as respondents in the name of the Guardians in an appeal now pend- ing, and intending to be held ar the next general Quarter Sessions of the county, maJe by Mr R. J. R. Loxdale, of Castle Hill, against the overseers of Ltamlar. Mr Miller moved that they should not give instruc- tions for action to be taken because the assessment throughout was unsatisfactory. Mr Hnghes seconded. The Chairman said he did not know what was the use of an Assessment Committee in this respect. The Committee were the betit persons to judge, having had evidence before them, whilst the guardians had nothing before them. Mr Hughes I challenge yon that yon have no knowledge of one-third of the houses yon estimate. Mr Miller said that his reason for objecting to the matter was because he did not consider the Ass s ment Committee qualified to make a valnation of the different property, and was of opinion tllat they ought to obtain a proper valuer for tLe whole of the Union. Mr Salmon was in favour of defending the action. The Assessment Committee were also threatened that if they did not make a reduction the parties would appeal. They ought to uphold the action of the Com- mittee. Mr Hughes bad said it was the Committee who raised the valuation or reduced it because it was the work of the officers and then appeals were mad v to the Committee. Mr Hughes said that he could name houses in Aberystwyth assessed last year, and he did not believe that a single member of the Committee, ilr the officers, or the rata collector, know anything about the size of the rooms or the number of them in those houses. He was dead against the way the houses were at present assessed, and said that they ought to be put npon a new basis, both in the town and country. The Chairman said that the appetl was made for a reduction. After some explanation by the Committee, a vote was taken, and it was agreed to defend the action. The Clerk was also empowered to take proceedings against the parishes who had not paid ap their arrears. THB BOARDING OUT OF THE CHILDREN. In reply to Mr Miller, the Clerk said that he had looked the matter up and found that a Committee consisting of persons not guardians wonld have to be appointed, and that they should be ladies to be approved of by the Local Government Board, and it would be the duty of the Committee to find out proper quarters for the children. Mr Miller then proposed that they apply for per. mission to the Local Government Board. At present they paid the Industrial trainer £ 20 a )ear, and it cost another jBld for her food. This was at an average of A5 each child per y^ar, and by putting the children out it would mean a saving of .£18 a year. Mr Hughes seconded. Mr Salmon said that if the children were boarded out they would have homes to go to when they came back to the town. After some discussion it was decided by a majority of votes to adjourn the matter until there was a further Board. THB ADVERTISEMENTS. Mr Millt-r gave notice th-it at the next meeting he would move that they rescind a resolution passed to give the advertisement to only one paper, and more that they give it to the three papers. The Board rose about 2.30.

ST. DAVID'S DAY CELEBRATION AT ABERYSTWYTH. St. David's Day was celebrated at Aberystwyth on Tuesday by a dinner of an extraordinarily excel- lent character which was provided by Mr Rufus Williams, the landlord, at the Talbot Hotel. Mr J. D. Perrott very ably presided, and there were also present Sir James Szlumper, who occupied the vice chair, the Mayor (Councillor Thomas Griffith-), Rev J. A. Morris, Dr. Harries, Dr. R. i leweljn Jones, Messrs A. E. Bethel, Colwyn Bay, R. Broadie GnJGtb, N. & S. W. Bank, D. Howell, E. Evans, R. J. Junes, H. Hughes, solicitor, T. Kdvinntoo, John P.

Hug hen-Jones, Capt Wemyss, and R. K. Jenkinf. Immediately on the conclusion of the repast, the Chairman raad a letter regretting his inability to at- tend from Mr Dernias, secretary of the Cambrian Railway Company. The Chairman having briefly and appropriately given the toasts of the Queen and the Prince and Princess of Wales and the rest of the Royal family," Mr T. Evans-Hughes was loudly encored for a Welsh song. Sir James Szlumper proposed the health of the Lord Lieutenant of the County," saying that he had bad the honour of knowing the Lord Lieutenant for many years, and he thought he could safely say that in the high position which he held he did all he could to fulfill his duties. Nut only did those who knew him respect him as the representative of the Sovereign, but as a man. The toast was drunk with musical honours, and was succeeded by a song by Mr Bethel, who was rewarded with an encore. The Chairman, in giving the health of the "Bishop, clergy, and ministers of all denominations," said they must have noticed the zeal and activity with which these gentleman had discharged their duties of late years. He coupled with the toast the name of the Rev J. A. Morris. In reeponae.theRev gentleman said that the Bishop of the diocese had impressed him very much as a very cultured and superior Christian gentleman. As to the clergy, he might say that during the 20 years he bad been in Aberystwyth he and they had always been on the best of terms—(applause)—although they were ministers of the Church of England and he was a Baptist to the backbone. (Laughter and applause). They often exchanged books, whieh showed that they lived at peace. The Chairman next proposed the toast of the Army, Navy, and Auxiliary Forces." In doing so, ht expressed the opinion that the Ashanti expedition had done its work admirably. He coupled with the toast the ramcs of Capt Parks, Dr Harries, and the Mayor, an old volunteer. After an excellent song by Mr Horton. Capt Parks, in re-ponding, a-tid tuat the English, Scotch, Irish and Welsh soldiers, whenever called upon, would give a good account of themselves. Dr Harries gave an amusing account of his con- nection with the Navy and the Army, referring to the recruits be bad medically examined for the Car- digan Artillery. One recruit, aided the doctor. whose head seemed to be full ot the wf-acare, when asked what he wanted ea:d '• he wanted to tight the devils." (Laughter A applans,.). The Mayor taid t- at he served seven yfars in the volunteers, and if the young men of the town were allowed to re-start the corps, he wonld be their ser- geaotor sergeant-major it they liked. (Laughter A applause). The Mayor proposed the health of the "County Member" speaking in eulogistic terms of both Mr and Mrs Vaughan Davies. Mr Bethel having again sung, The Rev J. A. Morris proposed the toast of the evening" To the Immortal Memory of St. David" He said that this personage was a rathor mysterious one. There was hardly anything that could be said about him, jet ho had told exceedingly on the minds < f thri Wcia nation. They had very few facts about his history, but plenty of tradition and fables. O^e thing, however, was certain abont S'. David, he wa- at the Synod held at Llanddewi Brefi in 519, when a comparatively young man. There were morj men in Wales at the time, of inflaence and renown, but it seemed to him that St David was the most influential of them all. It had been said that St David was made Archbishop of WaliF, but that oonld not be proved. Indeed ouch men as Bishop Stubbs and Mr Freeman were of opinion that there was no foundation for that tradi- tion. What struck him most about St David was this. How could that man, who flourished in the latt r part of the fifth and the beginning of the sixth century, have left such an impression on the Welsh nation. St David never left any bo. ka or MS. after him, aud yet he was regarded as the chief man in Wales. He considered there were two ways of accounting for this-he must have b <-n a very able man, and a good one. The-e was no doubt about his ability, nor about his goodness. He must have been a man who was devoted to his work, and who studied the interests of his generation. Another thing. He was canonized by the Pope of Rome, which un- doubtedly accounted for St David being so well known. What could they learn from the fragmentary history of St David? They ought to follow his example and endeavour to do our best to serve our generation, our God, and our country. (Applause). They could all do that, exactly the same as St David did. The times had altered since his day, but th<=y could do their best, and ought to do it. We were not called upon to establish chnruhes and colleges and schools. Those fortunately were already estab- lished in Wales everywhere. (Applause). We had a grand system of education, and had been favoured lately with a University but we could all take the example of St David and endeavour to make the best use of these institutions, in order to elevate and develop the intellectual resources of the nation. There was a great deal to be done in Wales as regarded literature. The Weieh nation had be-n renowned for many things—for its religions estiblisbosents and for tho work done by its religious people, &c., but in literature Wales was behind other other nations. He thought, however, they .might now look forward to some standard work being issued from the press, now and thou, as we had men of education amongst us. He was glad to see that Principal Edwards had established himself as an author, not only in Wales, but in England and upon the continent. If we could only get a few men to im- itate him we should have a differ- nt literature ia the future. He thought it wae a p.ty that they had not got a few scholarships at their colleges in the name of St. David (applau-e). After a recitation by Mr Watkins which was given with a good deal of dramatic ability, Mr F. R. Roberts gave the tuast of tho "Comity tvnd Borough Magistrates," saying these gentlemen discharged their duty without fear or f%»our, Sub^ quenty to a song which was effectively render. ed by Mr D. M. Davies, Sir J..mee Szlumper, in replying to the toast, said he was sur- there was no other bench in any other part ,,f the couut-y which did its duty better than the MAgiistrates of Cardiganshire and Aberystwyth did theirs. Mr Hughes-Jones proposed the "Mayor and Corpor. ation," and in doing so remarked that Aberystwyth had made great etrides in every way, and that the present Mayor (Councillor Griffiths) would be equal to the occasion of the R -yal visit. (AppKuse). Song Mr Evans-Hughes. The Mayor,in responding t) the tosst, said that the work accomplished by the Corporation during the past three months was equal to that for any preced- ing three months. With regard to the visit of the Prince of Wa es, they would give His Royal High, uess a reception that would show Aberystwyth to be more 1ike.. city than a "village." (Laughter and api lausf). Mr Peter Jones also responded. He said that the eritu-isius which had fallen from their lips that night showed that they approved of the work which had been carried out by tho Council. Referring to the prosperity of the town he faid that building "perat ons involving an expendi- ture of something like £ 70,000 wer" abont to be com- menced. As to the figbt tor the installation of the Prince of Wales ns Chancellor of the University, he said the <la:ms of Aberystwyth were opposed in every t"gitim -te way by the towns who sought to have the installation in their mi( st. But Aberyst- wyth bad succeedod iu beating them, a d he thought t¡'at this was duo, to a certain fxtout, to the fact that in the college buildings of the town they had embodied the ha"i., of higher education in Wales. and that the quarry men and country labourers of the.Princii ality bai supported the institution by their own effoits before it received state aid. Dr Harries, who al-o responded, said that, t*>e wor ;s reported in the newspapers that "CardiBf ought to be ashamed of herseif," in eear) k the insiallation wero m;sreported. Wha: "a actually said was that "see bad no need to be ashamed of herself," and that Lord Wit daor and the Principal of Cardiff College fought fairly. AMermra Peter Joaes proposed the agricultural 'c: and Miuing Interest," remarking that, at the last fair, there was a coa-idera^le increase in the priee for store catile. Mining proepscts in the district were also bright r and it was int ndad to re-start Beveialmicea. H conp'el with the toa^t the i,ame of Mr Roderick Richardes. Song (encored), Mr Horton. Mr Richardes, in returning thanlis, said he bad noticed fiat, daring the past six months, the farmers had improved their farms wonderfully. Dr Harries proposed the heilth of tha "Chair- man and Vice-chairman," which was enthusiastically drunk, and these gentlemen replied. The c including tca-ts wcrettie Press," proposed by Mr Watkins, and to which the "Observer" re- presentative, responded, and the Host and Hoft- ess," given by Sir KilvmgWi, who paid a deserved compliment to Mr Kufus Williams for the excellent spri-ad he had provided. The host having responded, thi gathering ter- minated very pleasaHtly with the National An- them.

WHAT BATES WANTED TO KNOW. 0'1 SHALL be obliged if you can answer me one question," said my friend Bates, as he lay on the couch one day in my room nuraing his aching leg. Why does exposure to wet or oold bring on n attach of rheumatism at one time, whev a like •xposnre for a score of times leads to no aaah Result ? Before I set down in writing the answer'I gave Aim I wish you would read the following letters, as no doubt tho authors of them will be interested In thy same point. In November, 1892," says the one, I had an attack of rheumatic fever, and was confined to my bed for fonr weeks, during which time I goffered fearfully. I had awful pains all over me; my joints swelled up, and I was so helpless I could not raise my hand to my mouth. After the fever left me I was extremely weak, and so emaciated I was little more than skin and bone. A large lump, the size of an egg, formed on my i elbow, and my fingers were almost drawn out of joint. I cannot describe the suffering I had to bear. The doctor orderod me various medicines, and cod liver oil, but they had no effect. In February, 1893, I read in a small book about the remarkable success which had followed the use of Mother Seigel's Syrup in cases of rheumatism, and got a bottle from Messrs. Leverett and Fry, High Street. After taking it two weeks 1 was better, and in about a month more all rheumatio pains had left me, and I was strong and well as ever. You may publish what I have said. (Signed) John H. Kent, 9, Randall Street, Maidstone, Kent, January 30th, 1895." "For many years," says the other, "I had beon subject to liver complaint and indigestion. I was habitually hea"y, weak, and weary. My appetite was poor, and all food gave me pain and fulness at the chest and around the sides. I had so much pain and tightness of the ohest that I could not endure the pressure of my clothing upon it. Although not laid up, I was seldom free from pain or a sense of discomfort. In the summer of 1893 I began to suffer with rheu- matism, which affected my arms and shoulders until I had not the power to lift my hand to my head. I tried all sorts of liniments, embrocations, and rubbing oils, but got no benefit from any of them. In August, 1893, my friend, Mrs. Owen, told me how much good Mother Seigel's Syrup had done her for rheumatism, and I got a bottle from the Drag Stores in St. Ann's Road. In a few days I was much better, and in less than a month afterwards all pain had left me; and I am happy to say I have never had any return of the rheu- matism since, but have enjoyed the beat of health in every respeot. In common thankfulness for my speedy and wonderful deliverance, I willingly consent to the publication of this hurried etate- ment should you wish to make that use of it. (Signed) (Mrs.) L. S. Cole, 6, Albert Road, South Tottenham, London, August 10th, 1896." Before answering the question of my friend Bates (who was a chronic rheumatic) I asked him one: Why does a lighted match, dropped into the road, die out harmlessly, but when dropped into a hayrick, set up a conflagration ?" Any fool can answer that," he said. "Because in the one case there is nothing for the fire to catch hold of, whilo in the other there is." Exactly," I responded. Now see. Indigestion and liver complaint (the second consequent on the first) continue to produce a virulent poison in the blood called urio aoid, practically insoluble in water. This acid, which is a solid, enters the tissues, and sets going a hot inflammatory fire. That is rheumatism. It does what a sliver would j -only the acid is a poison sliver. I When the indigestion and the liver trouble i are not very bad, and the kidneys and sweat glands of the skin are acting fairly well, this acid I is carried out of the body about M fast as it is formed. Exposure then brings on no rheumatism But, per eoutrn, when the stomach and liver are in bad condition, the acid forms faster than the i kidneys and skin can carry it off. Then expose t yourself, get eold or wet, hamper the skin and ] kidneys still more, and the poison acid spreads i through your muscles and joints like the fire in ( the dry hay. You understand ? Very well. The longor the cause persists the more frequent the ( rheumatio attacks. That is why chronic dys* 1 peptics are apt also to be chronio rheumatios. j Fend off dyspepsia, or cure it by the use of ■ Mother Seigel's Syrup, and you and the rheuma- ] tism will have no dealings. Neglect it, and suffer ] every time you catch cold. That was my answer to Bates, and he said there seemed to be sense in it.

Ever since his visit to Windsor as a tenor in the Treorky Choir, Mr John M. Howe 1 has been unstinted in bis expressions of admiration of the good qualities of the Royal family. His address in moving a vote of sympathy the other day to H.H.H. Princess Beatrice could not have been improved upon by the most poluhtd of conrtiers. Cardiganshire aristocrats scarcely believed that so pronounced a Radical as J.M., in the oonoty of tithe sales, ooald be so 101ala subject."

FOOTBALL. WALES v IRELAND. The fifteenth annual match between Wales and Ireland took place on Saturday on Wrexham Race- course. The ground was very slippery, and a heavy ram-fall affected the attendance of spectators con- siderably indeed,lit was stated that there was a bigger gate on the previous Saturday at the Welsh Cup semi-final round. No sooner was the bill set in motion than Walesjahowed somi tilrnted form, and in about ten minutes from the start, the old veteran Billy Lewi-,of Chester, scored the first 1:0;1. There was a lengthy interval before Wales scored the second point from a shot by W. Lawis and then Meredith quickly succeeded with a third goal, and Morris con- tributed a beautiful header as a fourth goal. In the first half the Irishmen couid not penetrate the Welsh defence, Charlie Parry and Mathias playing a grand "back" game. In the second half, Wales again pressed for sometime, getting down into their opponents' quarters repeated y, bnt the fonr goals to t'lcir credit caused them to slacken their pauo. which let in the Irish forwards, who came down the fiel i a' a terrifio rate and quickly netted the only goal Ire- land was destined to score. At this point Wales livened up, Pugh of Wrexham putting into the goal- keeper's hands some beautiful shot-i on several suc- cessive occasions, and ultimately scoring the fifth goal. Aided by. R a, Morris added the sixth point which left Wales the victors by six goals to one. Throughout the match the Welshmen all played a gr-tud game. Sam Jones showed his charact ribtic form in goal, his falling saves "strikinrz the spec- tators as very remarkable. Parry and Mathias at back proved a grand couple clearing the fleet-footed Irish forwards time after time in splendid style, and the halves were a good level lot, Pryce White tackling and feeding very prettily. Of the forward division, Morris and Mnreslith were the pick, but Rea was dis- appointing, although he was much to be sympathized with, on account of his partner, whose play was very selfish throughout, and on no occasion gave Rea a proper chance to get away with the ball. We nre pleased to learn that Morris's play was deemed of so excellent a character that he was chosen by the Selection Committee, which met in the evening, amongst the eleven which will meet England at Car- diff, when Mr T. H. Edwards will be the Welsh linesman. The following are the list of teams :— WALES: S. Jones (Wrexham and Bnrton Swifts) (goal), C. Parry (Newtown), and J. S. Mathias (Brvmbo) (backf), J. p. Rogers (Wrexham), Pryoe White (London Welsh), and J. L. Jones (Rhuddlau and Sheffield United) (half back.), H. Pugh (Wrexham), and W. Meredith (Chirk and Manchester City) (right wing), A. G. Morris (Aberystwyth) (centre), J. C. Rea (Aberystwyth) and W. Lewis (Bangor and Chester) (left wing), forwards. IRELAND T. Soott (Cliftonville) (goal), J. Ponsonby (Dis- V^ery) (right back), P. Thomas (LinfieM) (left back), J- .M'Coy (Distillery) (right half), J. Campbell (Cliftonville) (left half). R. Milne (Linfield) (centre half), G. Baird (Distillery) (outside right), E. Turner (Cliftonville) (inside right), J. Pelan (Distillery) (out- side left), M'CMhin (Glentoran) (inside left), and F. Stanfield (Distillery) (centre) (forwards). U.C.W. v OLD ABE BYSTWYTHIANS.

ATTEMPf TO WRECK A CAMBRIAN THAiN. A dastardly attempt to wreck the mail train from Aberystwyth to Whitchurch took place on Thursday night, when bet-wen Machynlleth and Cemtnaes Road. The train had arrived &t a place caileti Peny- bont, little m to t': .-i half way between the t-vo stations, a d wa3 rnu ing at fall speed when the driver felt the engine strike some solid body. He at once palled up, an I :t sleeper was fonnd wedged between the !ife guar i and the framing of the engine. It was promptly removed and conveyed on the tender to Cemmaes Koal, where tho station t;t,dI were in- formed of the occurrence. Tho st ironmaster (Mr Wilson) and his port, r at once proceeded to inspect the line between the two stations, in the hopes oi catching t';e culprit or culprits near the scene of the attempt,lint wero unfortunately un:-uecossfal. The inatter w s.at ot-ce-reported to thcjheadqn-srter. of tbe l:uo at Oswestry, and ii!*lmcUous sent down to h*vo every inquiry mtd.. Mr Lljlsou, of the g" neral man- ager's at*If, cama oown to O nitncs Road with the nuil tram on riday morn n.r to make investigations, aad walked th.) length l f the iii;e. In the nuaTime P.S. Hamer w:s oat eariy in a search near the spot. About thirty minutes beforj the departure of the mail traiu a :rp cial cattle tr dn left Machynlleth and crossed in safety the spot where the sleepers had been placed. This hrinss the time at which the mis- creint committed the act to within thirty minutes, and gives tbc p lice a cla; a". any rate is to th-j time. When the mail train left Machynlleth thero were on board about 100 persons,j and the place selected by the person or persons wh soaght to wreck tue train was one well t-nit-d for the purpose, for on one side there was a declivity of twenty-five feet, and bad the train with its erowiled carriages fallen over at this point there is 1 ttle dout'.t but that large numbers wonld have beeu killed, whilst others would probav ly have been maimed for life. The police ve strong suspicions as tj the identity of tue perpetrator of the outrage.
