i i The International Team.…
i i The International Team. HOW WILL IT BE CONSTITU- TED P A Prize of One Guinea Will be Given I to the Reader Sending in the I Nearest Selection. Fortunately, trial matches do not come I very often, or I should have to employ some assistance to deal with the mass of correspon- dence that comes to hand from various en- thusiasts who wish to a-ir their notions as to what players ought to get into the Welsh team, and what ought not. Some of my com- munications are couched in a gentle persuasive sort of way, others take a tone of firm remonstrance, and again occasionally one comes along full of bitter, biting sarcasm, taunting the committee with showing favour instead of picking men on their merit. One of the latter kind has just gone the way of most epistles of this sort—into the W. P. B. I am sorry to disappoint any one of my corres- pondents, but there is reason in all things, and we must draw the line somewhere. How- ever, on the present occasion, the number of letters received on the one subject is so great that, not wishing to show favour to one more than another, I am compelled to drop them all gently into that self-same W. P. B. It must not, however, be thought that in doing this I wish to discourage correspon- dence amongst my readers on the subject, that is, when any subject of importance is brought to light. I am only asking- that the letters shall be of general interest, and not merely airing a personal grievance, suoh as a-sking why this, that, and the other third-rate player has not got his cap yet. Those of my corres- pondents, however, who send along post-cards and letters giving their ideas as to the com- position of the Welsh team I propose to deal with in another way. The team will not be selected for a week or so yet, and for the purpose of forming some idea as to how public opinion places the men I invite my readers to send in post cards giving their idea as to the personnel of the team that will be selected by the Union committee to represent Wales against England. Those post-cards should reach me not later than Saturday morn- ing next, and the sender of the post-card giving the most correct list will receive a prize of one guinea. In the event of two or more post-cards giving'the team correctly, the money will be awarded to the first post-card to hand. In the further event of none of the competitors naming the team correctly, the guinea will be awarded to the one which comes nearest. Post-cards must be addressed to "Welsh Ath- lete," Western Mail," Cardiff. When the prize has been awarded I sball publish a list giving the names of the players sent in on the various postcards and the number of II votes that has been awarded to each. This will form a vahlabJ e guide as to the public opinion on the merits of the various players before us. I see the "Bard" in the Athletic News goes plump for last year's International team, with the exception of Oonway Rees and Jim Hannen, whom he replace 3 by Elliott, of Cardiff, and Dan veil, of L,rtnell.y. With the first-mentioned case, however T think we can go one better than the Oxford man, and if the Welsh Union insist on picking Gould for right centre, we have Fitz- gerald, who would, I imagine, be infinitely superior on the left to Conway Rees. Now, as regrrds Hannen. I know it lias been urged that he is an old 'un. But that does not neccsnarily prove he is not still a good un. Personally, I believe him still to be one of the best forwards in the Principality. Certainly there is no more honest a scrimmage;: nor cleverer a man in the pack than the old Newport war-horse. Why the idea should crop up at all that he is beyond his day is more than I can r,n;lerstand. I have seen him play- several times this year, and certainly I did not perceive the least falling off from his old time I brilliancy. Certainly we want some young blood in the team, but not at the expense of leaving out one of the best and cleverest for- wards playing at the present day. As to M'Cutcheon, if we take him on either club or county form. his chances of being selected are extremely small. In previous years he has always come in for a good word from the Northern critics, but by general consent they seem to think much less of his play this year. He has not gained a place in the North team against the South, not even as a reserve. by which I take it that he ha.s fallen off, although the Manchester Guardian generously excuses him by saying :—" M'Cutcheon would probably have found a place in the team if Welsh interests had not been considered, and he will probably not be disappointed." Now, that is generous of the Northerners to II consider our interests, and we ought to feel. grateful that they wili. so sacrifice themselves j for the benefit of poor little Wales. They were not wont to be so fie iilg., however, and remembering this. Iam disposed to reooire their favours with a considerable amount of caution. I may confess, however, that in the past two years M'Cutcheon has always been a great fancy of mine, and I have several times been alone in advocating his claims to International honours. The way he has been playing in the North. however, does not encourage me to again favour his chances. Moreover, unler the circumstances of indifferent form which the Northern critics clearly suggest he is showing, I must contend that it was palpably his duty to come to Wales for the fin tl trial match, and gyve the committee a chance of judging how he is shaping. It may be that he is as clever as ever, but I strongly deprecat e the selection of players on past reputations, and certainly the newspaper comment, are not encoumging as to his present form. Now, I suppose I must be in the fashion and select a team, but in so doing there are certain reservations I must make. One of these is, Where will Gould play, right or left, and will the Union select players who have not been seen out in the trial matchea ? I will suppose that Gould will play left centre, where, apparently, he is equally as clever as a« right centre, and that the commit tee will select players that; have no': been seen in the trial matches. In that case my team would be :—Back, W. J. Bancroft .hree-quarter backs, T. W. Pearson, J. Eiliott, A. J. Gould, and N. Biggs half backs. Parfitt and Sweet- Escott forwards. Grahani, Hannen, Watts, Day, Mill's Hill. Cope, and R. G. Edwards. Of eOlll'<3, it Gonld pL¡,y,;l l'i:(lt (")I1I,1'(\ l should fieloet Fitzgerald to partner him. The Huddersfiold Club accepted thodcci- sion of the English Onion it is true, but are now having their own little innings by con- stantly rMains-points tor inquiry, which must take Mr. Kowiand Hill all his time to answer. Of course, the Fartown organisation directly a point crops up ask tho Couuty Union for It'l explanation or definition. The Union, in its turn, refers the matter to the Eng- lish Rugby Union, and so the game goes merrily on. If Huddersueld cannot play football, they at least meall to have a try at coddarn. 1 WZ-LSH ATHLETE.

He represented East Somerset from 1879 to 1885, and then he obtained a victory at Colchester. That was a victory, not for political principles, but for beauty.

BURGLARIES IN CARDIFF.
BURGLARIES IN CARDIFF. A Shop Broken Into in Custom-House Street. It appears that the gang of burglars prowl- ing about Cardiff just now is composed of several expert thieves, who plan and carry out their nefarious work in a skilful and the two swell mobsmen were at work there others of the clique paid a visit to the shop of Messrs. W. W. Ware and Co., curriers, 17, Custom House-street. The shop is on the ground floor, and the shopman lives at the top of the buildings. The place was securely fastened up on Saturday evening, and it was all right on Sunday till towards the evening, when the shopman thought lie heard a noise, but did not come down to see the shop. The thieves, however, soom to have been disturbed, for, although they had successfully effected an entrance by the front door, they had not time to tamper with the safe or carry off any valuables. A policeman was soon on the scene, and at once informed the shopman that the front shop door was open. In the safe was a considerable sum of money, which was found all right. As a possible clue to how the burglaries at private houses are being woiked, it may be mentioned that at present a woman is visiting various parts of the town making inquiries of parties who have furnished lodgings to let. Her story is that her husband is a traveller, that he has come to stay for a week—although the story varies in some cases so far that the husband lias favoured the place with a stay for some time-and that they would like to get good furnished lodgings in a respectable neighbourhood. These inquiries have been made by the same woman in different places in Riverside. Canton, and Roath, more often at night, but occasionally in the day time, and in each case where she succeeded in persuading her interlocutors she makes a minute inspec- tion of the rooms offered. In one case in Eldon-road she agreed to take the rooms, but wished her "husband" to see them first. Need- less to say, neither she nor her husband have returned to take up their quarters there. All this points to the fact that she is acting as "jackal" for her male companions, the object of the woman being to see what articles of value there are on the premises which might be converted into "swag." The description of the woman given by those who have spoken to her is:—Small in stature and slender in build, with brown, or dark, hair, and sharp features. She almost always dresses in black, and wears a feather boa round her neck, and close-fitting hat and fall. I An Attempt at Roath. Tower House, Fitzalan-place, Cardiff, was the scene of an unsuccessful attenipt by burglars in the small hours of Monday morniug. Professor Allaby, the phrenologist, was sitting up reading when he heard a noise at the dining- room window. He at once went into the room, and on pulling back the blind, caught a glimpse of a man near the window, and one disappearing; through the bushes. Before an alarm could be given the men had cleared away. The catch cf the window had been pushed back, and but for being' disturbed the burglars would have had another scoop. LETTER FROM MR. LANGMAID. TO TUE EDITOR. Sir.—I should like to correct the statement made in your paper of Monday's date regarding the burglary at 100, Newport-road. It says that 011 my informing the police two 0011- stables went to the bouse and found the "birds had flown." The real facts are as follow:- I saw the two men enter the house, and by the light in the hall could see them go up- stairs and close the front bedroom blinds. I at once came to the conclusion they must be burglars, and went straight- to the police- station. where I could get only one man to leave. As soon as we -entered the front garden we saw one of the burglars in a stooping posi- tion come downstairs and across the hall, when he fastened the door with the chain. I said to the constable, "Let us burst open the door," but he said, "-No: we must not break into the house. I will go round to the back while you stay here." There was not a. single per- son there at the time but the policeman and myself. Mv little son crossed the road to me, and 1 sent him to the station for more assis- tance, but by the time the other constabie arrived the thieves had made their escape. I arrived the thieves had made their escape. I feel certain that if the door had been burst open we could have captured them.—I am, R. LANG-MAID, 157, Newport-road, Cardiff.

rWobble-Ums at Work,
r Wobble-Ums at Work, THROUGH THEM YOU CHAT WITH THE DEAD. Mrs. Russell Davies Tells of Their Power and the Objects of Her Spiritualism. "She is different from all others, did you say ?" Yes, quite different. Extremely clever, for one thing, whereas nearly all the others that I have come across were hopeless duffers -too ignorant to deceive anyone. Also, she is 'mi gnoniie and dainty, charmingly dreased in a. gown that rustles with invisible silk, and of so pleasing a colour that it is a rest to the eyes to look at it. An Irish harp for a brooch: above it a refined, delicate, and very intellectual face. That is the lady. Here is her portrait as a, frontispiece to her new book, but it does her very scanty justice." "How in the world did you come acroaw I her ?" I saw the new book (says a writer in the "Westminster Gazette"), dipped into it, and found, here and there, such excellent common-sense passages that I wrote to the publishers for her actress. If you have read your newspaper properly, you will have seen that it. has been campaigning among London ghosts recently. Through mediums, spiritua- lists, and clairvoyants you enter upon sueii a campaign. Well. here was a and medium who has had more extraordinary experiences than anybody I have heard of, and who yet has some oommon-sense left. So I went to see her." And what was it like?" "It was in a tiny, pretty drawing-room. Nothing very extraordinary to be noticed, ex- cept a kind of glorified camp-chair, with this inscription on a. silver-plate:- PRESENTED TO THE WOBBLE-UMS BY WILLIAM T. STEAD, XMAS, 1892. "'Wiobble-Ums' sounds Steadian. What- ever does the man mean? So he had been there before you?" "What the exact origin of the word is I can't tell you, but, no doubt, the wobble- ums are spirits. Of course, Mr. Stead had been there before. Why, the place simply swarms with spirits, Mrs. Russell Davi. says." "What did they look like ?" i MRS. BUSSELL DAVITCS. "Why, you are behind the times! Yot and I and other ordinary people can't see the ghosts—the spirits, I mean-it is only the elect. I felt a little nervous when Mrs. Russell Davies said, as we sat before her drawing-room fire, 'The room is full of them. I see them all around, and hear their voices. "Did they have any message for you 1"- "None whatever. I suggested that probably I was not sympathetic enough, but Mrs. Davies said that wasn't it. You must get experience first, and then you can communicate with them or they with you." "But where does Mrs. Davies's spiritualism differ from that of other people?" "That is the very question I asked, and the answer was-I thought it a very noble answer -that her object is to convince the work that there is an after-life. She has proo. positive of this. People that have long beei. dead come back, through her, to their friend- speak to them, comfort them, and help then, to bear their losses. "Why, Anne Boleyn walked into the little drawing-room the other day, and made corn plaint to Mrs. Davies that Mr. Froude ha- wronged her in that book of his." "And wasn't Mr. Froude informed of thi heartrending spectacle of the ghostly Ann Boleyn appearing to denounce him?" "Of course he was. And his answer WF that if Anne Boleyn would come, to him i his own room he would be willing condescent ing-enough to have an interview. I call cruel of Mr. Froude not to meet the Quec in Mrs. Russell Davies's drawing-room, whe.6 she loves to dwell, and where, sometime papers laid on a table flutter upwards to th ceiling and come back with Anne's ante- graph written on them. ,r I Oh, dear me, no; Mrs. Davies does n- give public seances. She is much too ne vous. Only in the privacy of her drawn) p room, and to a few favoured friends, does sb eSer reveal her wonderful power. I congrattt lated her on the fact, and foolishly remarket that it was more easy to have faith in spiritua- lism if it was not a. money-making affair. Whereupon, with exquisite tact, she told mi that though she never gave public seanoee she did take a fee of a. guinea from those c' her private sitters-is sitters the right word!- who can aliord to pay. For instance. Mrs. Davies, personally absolutely hates animals, and she knows nothin whatever about horses and dogs. But one i her familiar spirits—Ned is his name- splendid as a judge of these creatures. I actually bought a magnificent bull terrier f Florence Marryat, in Ireland, through t medium of Mrs. Davies, who when possess by Ned knows all the points of a good dog. "Again. Ned foretelisi unfailingly wli horse, in a famous race, will win. He, o Mrs. Davies, knew that Isinglass would i run any more this year long before the hor; owner had any idea of this disastrous f. And she has foretold the winner in many a many a race." "What is the lady's address?" "Now, you're wicked. Her object in pra tising clairvoyance is, you must remembei to teach people that there is an after-life, ant not to encourage them in horse-racing Although I must add, she kindly gave me t understand that if someone came to her in friendly way—she didn't go further."
