Banquet at Cardiff. BRILLIANT GATHERING AT THE ROYAL HOTEL. Imperial and Local Affairs Dealt With by the Leading Men of the Town. The banquet given by Mr. LeweHen Wood, the able and popular president of the Cardiff Chamber of Commerce, at the Royal Hotel on Wednesday evening is unique in the his- tory of the town. Many previous presidents have feasted the councils or executive com- mittees of their own association, but it was left to Mr. Wood to extend the invitation to Alderman Lewis proposes The Ministers of Religion. the members and principal officials of the corporation, and to some of the most prominent residents of Cardiff. The object which Mr. Wood had in view was a laudable one. He hoped that, by bringing together at a social meeting the representatives of the town and of the docks, he would be able to establish a unity of interest which would be beneficial to the borough generally. Time was when some slight friction existed between the cor- poration and the chamber, but during the Sir E. J. Reed replies for the Navy. last oouple of years both bodies have worked hand in hand to obtain facilities to which Cardiff is justly entitled, and we feel certain that the banquet of Wednesday night will assist in cementing the harmony which has recently been established between the two bodies. The chamber of commerce, though it possesses no legislative power, has shown itself capable of bringing a great amount of influence to bear upon the Legislature of the Mr. D. A. Thomas proposes The^ Mayor and Corporation of Cardiff." country. It includes a number of energetic and far-sighted gentlemen, and among them there k no abler than this year's president. It is not going beyond the mark to state that at the banquet on Wednesday night there were gathered together the chief representatives of the commercial life of Cardiff, and naturally the speeches turned more or less on the needs of the town and its future development. Sir Edward Reed had an opportunity of expressing his dissatisfaction with the powers that be at Mr. E. R. Moxey proposes the Dock and Railway Company. the Admiralty, and Sir Edward Hill spoke of the defenceless state of the Bristol Channel, but, with these ex- ceptions, the speeches were addressed almost entirely to commercial matters. Mr. Wood was prepared with a pieoe of information which was rooeivEil with the greatest satis- faction. H« announced, without any reser- vation, that the Custom House would be removed to the Docks. The advantage which tins will be to those engaged in the shipping t^-ade ia iuoaleulable. But on the queefctton of I The Mayor's Coming Fancy Ball. I SUGGESTIONS FOR COSTUMES. I dock accommodation also the president sounded no uncertain note. He referred to the necessity for the construction of a. dock which should be set apart for imports alone, and until this is accomplished it cannot be expected that Mr. Lewellen Wood responds. Cardiff will make that progress which is due to its geographical position. It would be diffi- cult to find a better distributing centre than Cairdiff, but it cannot be hoped that the produce of other countries will be imported there, when the vessels carrying that produce have to enter docks which are mainly devoted to the loading of coal. Mr. Wood touched lightly upon the question of a harbour trust. He recognised the fact that he was skating on thin ice, but this did not deter him from ex- pressing an opinion that the Corporation of Cardiff should foster in every possible way Mr. J. B. Ferrier. proposes" The Press." I —even at a smMtlI saerifiee-the development of the docks. Coming from a Barrvite, which Mr. Wood frankly admitted himself to be, this advice may be regarded as genuine, and it may have the effect of stimulating the corporation to a sense of their duty in regard to the future of Cardiff. That further dock accommodation is required is admitted by every colliery proprietor, merchant, and ship- owner in the port, and if the banquet on Wednesday night will have the effect of strengthening the hands of the harbour trust oommittee, and bringing into closer commu- nion the corporation and the chamber of commerce, Mr. Wood will deserve the thanks of many generations to come.

DINNER TO CARDIFF POOR. The annual dinner to the aged poor of the parish of Roath, Cardiff, given by the members of the Roath Conservative Club, Cardiff, and their friends, was held at the club on Wednes- day. There were over 100 guests, the tickets having been distributed without regard to creed or politics, and a splendid dinner, consisting of roast beef, runt ton, vege- tables, &c., followed by plum pudding, was placed on the tables. After the dinner songs, recitations, Ac.. were contributed by Miss M'Kiver, Miss Cowley, Messrs. Henry, Salter, Arnold. Yard, Askew, Moore, and Brockenbrow. At the conclusion presents of tea, tobacco, cigars, and snuff were made to the guests, who were all over 60 years of age. Amongst those who assisted were Dr. and Mrs. Trebarne, the Rev. F J. Beck, the Ray. Father M'Cormack, the Rev. T. Nicholson Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Prust, Miss Leon, Captain Lowry, Messrs. P. G. Salter and Leon, and the directors a.nd members of the club. The arrangements were admirably carried cut by the steward of the club, Mr. Patten.

Lord Cross has consented to visit Pembroke Dock towards the middle of February and open the new Conservative Club in the town, which is now nearly completed.

DESTITUTION AT MUMBLES. During the hearing of the relief list at the usual fortnightly meeting of the Gower Board of Guardians on Tuesday, the Rev. John James, Penmaen, presiding, the relieving officer (Mr. Silvanus Bevan, jun.) drew the attention of the board te a shocking case of destitution at Norton, Mumbles, where an elderly man named Edward Jones, a native of North Wales, who had been receiving relief in kind for a short time, died on Sunday night amid the most dis- tressing surroundings. Deceased, who had a wife and three young children, lived in a four- roomed house, in which practically the only article of furniture was a bedstead occupied by him.—It was agreed that the relieving officer provide for the immediate requirements of the family, who, it was pointed out, would require permanent relief.

A Plucky Boy at Melingriffith. A little before twelve o'clock on Tuesday a child, three years of ago, named Bird, whose parents live at Melingriffith, fell into the canal near its home. No one was near at the time, and the little unfortunate was carried down by the current. In a short time, however, the child was brought to bank and safely taken home by William J. Jones, aged sixteen, who lives with his parents at Sunny Bank, Melin- griffith. The lad Jones was on his way home, and noticing the child in the water, he plunged in and effected a rescue. It is not long since a brother of the rescuer (Fred. Jones) gallantly saved the son of William Bird, who also had fallen into the canal.

Footballers Robbed at Llanelly. During the progress of the Llanelly A v. Danygraig match at Stradey Park on Saturday afternoon, the gymnasium of the football club was entered by seme means and tke clothing of the players rifled. A large sum of money was abstracted, and one of the players was nnfor- tunate enough to lose a watch and chain. The matter is now in the hands of the police.

Ths Play and Players. GOSSIP ABOUT THE CARDIFF PANTOMIME. Other Theatrical and Music-hall Per. formances in the Town Humou- rously Dealt With. The one startling, not to sa.y staggering, thing about the Royal pantomime, is that the more you see of it the better you like it. The public, too, evidently view it this way, for they are rolling up merrily and planking down the oofiwn in a manner calculated to make glad the heart of the management. (h course, Mr. Fletcher is wise in his generation, and has made many additions and alterations, not the least important of which, to my way of thinkng, is the opening of the bar. It is most astonishing, sir, and perhaps you may have re- marked it, that a. baj- makes a big attraction. Without a bar, a theatre, to my way of think- ing, loses half ts piquancy. It is, as ,it were, sir, the difference between snow and pepper, which, as you know Snow is white, and lies in a dike, And every man lets it lie; Pepper is black, and hath a good smack And every man doth it buy. But I will now subside and, meandering into the rain to oool off, as it were, upraise myself on my hind legs and say unto you what I have to say. One of the many new features Mr. Flefcdtier has introduced is a serpentine dance by a little local lady that haB caught on very well. True, she is young, and does not employ the little tricks known to many ladies of the greatnmitey professon, but. still, she is a charm- ing, and has cleverness that is appreciated by the Cardiff public. and as long as that is the ease it does not matter a hang what anyone else thinks. We are a nation who, sitting down upon our haunches with our tongues protruding,await for something to happen somehow. Occasionally there is one of us who makes a move for him- self, and I believe tha* one has come along this week. He writes me under the title of "A Theatrical Vandal," and he ways: Miss Haewood (Fatime). What daring manager will do the kiddies a. service by running the hilrlequinade in front of the panto ? This is a portion of modem pantomime which is only kept alive by the plea that it is hugely appreciated by the small fry, but for some unexplained reason it is always brought on tLe last thing, at an hour when all children should certainly be abed. A reversal would allow of children being taken home at a. reasonable hour—that is if a harlequinade is at all necessary now-a-days, when it has siaply descended into on.advertising medium." Now, that is the sort of letter that I (Mm imagine would permoate the soul of a theatrical manager with a chilly blast that would give eJI Esquimaux the dithers. It is the sort of letter that might make Mr, Fletcher sing "fol-de-riidlo- ri-do," cause Mr. Coles to ask for an appoint- ment with this modern vandal with the object of shedding his gore, and auks even the genial Toiiy shiver and curl up as if a cyclone was knocking aroand somewhere, ana MISS CLUtE Harrinoton (SeUM)- yet I don't know but what there is something iffi it. Certainly, as my my correspondent )wM< in a. foot note, it has a nice little moral, ewwimf concealed maybe, bnt still he assure* we it—the moral—is there. I think, how- ever, we may leave it at that, and tarn to consider the protoplasms and things t that are just now agitating that portioa-of the music-hall world known as Cardiff. I don't know what figurative filosfy Mr. Harrington has been panning out in his brain in reducing the prices of admission to th* Westgate-street house. Perhaps if the Mas* strikes him some day he will expram his reasons to the public at 'large in a transcendental and moving stanza such as shall stir your very soul. For my own part, I can only tell you that the way that bonso has been filled during the last few weeks beats cockfighting. This week I was attracted by the fairy tale pitched in my ea.r-after the Alhambra manager's thumb had been inserted" for the purpose of showing me a new trick of the Macs — I was a.ttr&cte. top sawyers every time. I know those sort of things look oasy enough, but when it comes to standing on your head-on the hesMi of another man and playing a. few musical instruments in that position, not to speak of somersaults from the ba-ck to the head and other such light and airy frivolities, then, sir, I may point out that the Pantzers may go on doing such things with- out fear of my rivalry. I went round to have a look at them after the performance, and fine fellows they a.re too. Per- fectly developed, with the muscle standing out all over them in great lumps and knots. Prac- tically, all their life, the elder brother informed me in broken English, they had been in the pro- fession. They were born in Brussells, and only came to England some two years ago. Every day they have to have a cOdple of hours prac- tice, whilst to get tbtir muscles flexible they have half an hour's practice just before appearing each evening. Which the same, I would begtfc rema.rk that their life is not all cake and mhk. All roand, £ he couipany is a strong one Charles Murray, who I remember made a lerriftl hit as Soft Tommy in a Devonshire pftntomimo some three years ago, is, as the programme putt it, truly eccentric, whilst Miss Etbel Viofcop, with a rollicking football song, goes great gtms. An exceedingly clever turn Empire this week is that of Wfcei* and Beasley, the American comedy artiste* who opened, I thought, rather tamely? but were stayers, for they came with a rattio at the Snifh. They are full of whimsical saying* and doings, and were much appreciated. Cata- whoela. is surely an appropriate name for a eat who enn do everything with and on a bicycle except make it speak. The Stehbings are old favourites with Cardiff audiences, and always catch on. The dancing of the Onofris is another tremendous attraction. All round the company at the Empire is certa-inly a. very smart one thin week. Old playgoers in Cardiff will be glad to learn, goe, that Mr. E. Buhner—a member of a talented and well-known family devoted to the stage-- who managed the Royal during the first three yea.rs of its existence, is now comfortably in- stalled as stage manager and treasurer of the Theatre Royal, Leeds.
