International Matches. THE SCOTCH AND IRISH TEAMS PICKED. "Welsh Athlete's" Notes on Saturday's Sport With Comments on Newport's Victory. The fact that Scotland, like England, have adopted the four three-quarter system of backs will not be received with any amount of sur- prise. Beyond any question of doubt has it been proved that it is the system of the future, and it has only been old-fashioned prejudices that have prevented the other countries adopt- ing it before. Ireland, who are with Scotland in the matter of being slow in accepting changes, have also come over to our way of think- ing, and on Saturday the team chosen to meet England has, it will be seen, the Welsh forma- tion of backs. After all, however, there is little change in this, for whenever we have met the teams of neighbouring countries the fourth man has invariably been put out. It is satisfac" tory to see, however, that a system which has had so many traducers amongst the old school- but which we in Wales have proved, beyond doubt, to be the correct one—has, at last, come to be acknowledged as such even by countries who possess magnificent forwards with exceptional abilities in the way of forward play, and who have, hitherto, been looked upon as having equal chances with their backs of scoring. Looking- at the Scottish team chosen to meet us at Newport, it will be seen that, out of the fifteen, no less than nine were members of the team that Wales met and defeated at Edinburgh last year. Seven out of the eight forwards now selected then figured in the pack, and re- membering how those forwards played last year, we have got all we can do to hold our own with them, let alone beat them. I have a very clear recollection of how they performed a twelve- month ago. With the nine men in the pack they were constantly beating the Welsh eight, and even after we had scored twice, and the fourth man had been brought out, the Scotsmen always held their own in the tight scrummages, while in the open they were decidedly superior, their footwork being exceedingly fine. One other point I have not forgotten is that they are remarably clever in screwing the scrum- mages. With the exception of Menzies, eight of the forwards have previously represented their country, and each holds the reputation of being a thoroughly sound hard-working- scrummager. Simpson, who partners Wotherspoon at half- back. is reported as having shown considerable cleverness in the trial games, but Wotherspoon must have improved a lot since last year to be as smart as he is given credit for being. The pair are the same that did so well against Eng- land at Leeds last year. If, however, Simpson is no cleverer than Wotherspoon I don't think the Welsh pair will have much the worst of it. Certainly they have not a pair of the class of Wells and Taylor to meet. # Where Scotland lost last year was in the backs, neither of whom showed form above the ordinary. If, however, reputation goes for any- j thing, the four selected are really tip-teppers. and whoever the Welsh four may be, they are ( sure to have a pretty warm time of it. Each of < the four men possess a. large amount of individual í cleverness and resource, but I doubt their ability ( to give a very capable exposition of the new 1 system they are attempting. What the Welsh 1 players have to remember is that the Scotsmen < differ from us materially on the "held" i question. Whilst they are upright they seldom cry "held," and stop the play to allow of a scrimmage \incj formed; it. therefore, behoves the Welshmen, witen once they lay Ie hands on an opponent, to make no mistakes, but have him down by hook or by crook. Of course, it is useless.tocompare the Scotch four t with a probable Welsh four, so I shall leave 8 the question of comparison until after Tuesday c night, when the ,{elsh team will be picked. t Rogerson, the fallback, gains his cap for the 1 first time, and is, to a great extent, an unknown quantity. i # • t I If one compares the Cardiff-Newport form of a c week ago, and, again, the match between Cardiff ] and Blackheath some time back, the victory of Newport on Saturday is fairly in accordance with preconceived notions as to how the game at Rectory Field ought to end. Three tries to one y ioes not by any means represent the game as it a was, for after the first twenty minutes Newport v bad won all along the line. They were better Forward, half, three-quarter, and full back; moreover, they were setting a pace that the r Heathens clearly had no liking for. Afi I said d )n Saturday, it was not a pretty game. It was il boo scrambling to suit me, and the winging bactics adopted by the Heathens made matters 0 worse, for Parfitt and Mat Hannen each had a joupl) of men to look after them, and fl from the way these men dropped on the New- port pair whenever the ball came near the- it was clearly evident that the Heathens had a wholesome dread of the ball getting to the New- E jort three-quarter line, and there was every t •eason for this, for the four were playing a fine v ,ame and whenever they got the ball, Thomas i1 >r Dauncey would be sure to get very near to a jhe line before they were stopped. Both these t nen played a fine game, and it hardly seems S ikely that the Welsh committee can, in justice, a eave Dauncey out of the teara to meet Scotland, h With the Newport man on the left and Pearson p m the right, I think we should see two of the f] smartest wings that have represented Wales for •» rears. it # # v t; Whatever may be the strength of the backs, Blackheath are always looked upon as certain ;o provide some smart forward play. They did lot do so on Saturday. The eight scrummaged airly well for about fifteen minutes. Then the vingers began to appear, after which they got i1 ;he ball only on rare occasions. In the loose t4 vork they were a bit clever, and, especially at (J ;he outset, tackled vigorously, but in the latter « rame Newport, when once they started, vere always on top. I suppose the b leathen forwards are really the pick tf the South, and this being so, there S s no question to my mind of the wisdom of the I Snglish Unicoi in giving the preference to the Northern sci-tmmagers. The Yorkshiremen do q crummage without a doubt. I am afraid that # rery few of the Blackheath men do. I don't (. hink that in the Blackheath eight there was a n nan to equal Hannen, who, many say, is gone y .ff. If he is, I would like to see a few other Velsh forwards go off." After Hannen I hould say Pook, Bewley, and Graham were a pit. better than any three on the other side. r, Jowiey showed a, good deal of cleyernets at the d ine-out, and on the occasion that Hannen got S ,way and gave Groves the try Bowley gave the .all to Hannen at the outset. :it There was a good deal of interest shown by the I fewportonians on Saturday evening in the result w f the Cardiff-Penarth game. I anticipated, in E ly notes of Saturday, that it would be no soft S nap" for the CardifSane, for Penarth, + re all have to recognise, have come l n a wonderful let of late. In fact, "V here is not a team in South Wales which has a hown more consistent form this year than the F ieaeiders. The club has been fortunate in keep- 0 og its players together, with the result that the E ombination is now better than ever it has been. I 'he result is that Penarth, so far, has a splendid ecord. and the draw with Cardiff ave the greatest satisfaction to the earns supporters, a large number of ,-hom witnessed the match. The ground was in p uch a wretched condition, says a colleague who aw the match, that accurate parsing was lmost impossible but it was the same for oth, and if the conditions had been different my riend questions very much whether Cardiff rould have done better. The Penarth backs lay well together, and they possess the merit o! f being able to score when opportunities pre- n ent themselves. Besides, the forwards got.tho all more frequently than their opponents, and he half-backs know how to get it away when t is heeled out to them. 2- # N # o: If Cardiff thought that they had an easy ir ontract on hand they were quickly undeceivec. a n the frst half they had to play all 81 bey knew to keep out the Seasidera, and in the 0 econd half they failed completely to break S hrough the defence. I do not remember that If iardiff has ever before failed to beat Penarth, A nd the result on Saturday was disappointing to rt he supporters of the blue and black. Davies, IN he Harlequins back, played, I am told, a o terling game throughout. 1' T L Speaking of Davies, it looks as if the com S1 littee of the Cardiff Club have committed a rave indiscretion in playing the Harlequin man efore the necesMry transfer had been obtained, ven. in fact, playing him in the face of a. tele- b ram from tho secretary of the Welsh Eugby c Jnion. pointing out that Davies's transfer had P .1 On the Rhymney. Is this a fast train, Guard P It is, Sir." "Then I'll get out and see what it's made fast to." I 111111 tu -L" been refused. Of course, facts have yet to come out, but from the few before us I Can only imagine that the Cardiff Club a.re in a very serious predicament, and as the matter has already been brought before the Welsh Union Committee, we may prepare ourselves for another football inquiry. Of course, a great deal will depend on the statements put forward by each side, but all the same, according the Welsh transfer laws the Cardiff Club have committed as offence which will necessitate an inquiry. The law directly applying readB :—"When- ever a player transfer?, his membershii, from one club to another such transfer shall be legal if (Ci) it be made with the sanction, previously ob- tained, of both clubs concerned. (b) In case the sanction of one club be withheld the player in question, or the club to which he proposes to transfer his membership, may apply to the Welsh Union Committee, whose sanction shall render the transfer legal." The one question, independently of these laws, that suggests itself to me is, have the Cardiff Club done right in playing Davies without a transfer, and in face of the telegram from the secretary of the Welsh Rugby Union ? *to* Either!Pontypridd have deteriorated or Llanelly have come on a lot. It was only a. week or two back that up at Pontypridd the tin-platers had all their work cut out to win, the victory only being achieved by a try to nil. It is, of course, impossible to suggest that the fact of playing on their own ground made all the difference in that score and the one attained by Llanelly on Satur- day, so we can only think that the little" storm in a teapot" which occurred in the Western town the other day ha.s had an inspiring effect on the scarlet runners. I would suggest to my scarlet friends that they continue their little flare-ups at, say, monthly intervals. oj¡< Club form was better borne out in the case of Swansea v. Neath. On the previous ocea.sion tha.t these teams met victory rested with the all whites by a single try only. On Saturday it was a. drop goal to nil victory, so that, we assume, the capabilies of these teams are much the same as t hey were some weeks ago I Swansea seem to have had the best of the game, and on one or two occasions to have had very hard luck in not scoring. Each team, in turn, pressed with the wind, but all round it appears from the report as if Swansea ha.d about the worst of the luck. Coke, I am pleased to see. is going strong on the left wing again. I trust, the old knee ailment will not crop up again. •# # to Scotland v. Wales.

A GLAMORGAN HERO Gone to His Last Rest in His Eightieth Year. At the small burial ground attached to the Wick Baptist Chapel 011 Friday last were in- terred the remains of Rees Lougher, aged about 80 years, who died in the Angelton Asylum, Bridgend. About 35 years ago a French collier was totally wrecked off the Nash Coast. The crew, numbering eight, gave the usual signals of distress, but it was impossible to get at them. No boats were at hand. A few spectators stood on the desolate coast and all were in hopeless despair, when E«es Lougher, a man of fine physique, plunged into the angry sea, and rescued the whole of the crew one by I one, and quite unaided. The Royal Humane Society and other societies worthily acknow- ledged the heroic deed of the Welsh farmer, A letter from the Emperor of France was received by Lougher and a gold medal. Honours were heaped upon the hero. In some way or other his mind became affected, and on August 17, 1870, he Wa.8 taken to the Bridgend Asylum, There were eight brothers and sisters. Hoes: Lougher being the oldest, and stran^i to say he survived them all. .uo

WELSH SECRET SOCIETIES To Create Rupture Between Capital and Labour. j [PROM A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] There is a certain fascination to the ordinary mind about secret societies, mysterious signs unknown only to the initiated, meetings held with closed doors, and admission by peculiar knocks ind closest scrutiny. This has given a. charm to most of the friendly societies, and the "grip, which is a legacy from the Greek, has in it more than the general observer is aware. During the Chartist days, when' we were within measurable distance of a civil war that in certain localities would have been as sanguinary ts that of the Commonwealth, there were many )f these secret aocieties held amongst the bills- rhere was scarcely a place, in fact, between Merthyr and Tredegar where one was not to be "ound, and all carried on by a. bond of solemn compact and protected by signs and pass- Fvorcls. One at Merthyr was under the direction of nen of keen intellect and, fortunately, far- seeing views, who tried to impress the necessity )f moral suasion instead of physical effort in >b tain ing the redress of alleged wrongs. But 'or this the fearless ironworkers and colliers 1 would have been precipitated into a conflict. As 1 t was, they were on the brink of doing so, and, is there were spies in the camp and the justices were aware of every step, such a ;ourse could have had but one melancholy mding. Next to the secret societies of those days lame the Fenian epoch, when secret lodges were 1 leld at Dowlais and other places, and drilling ] n the hollows amongst the hills was of nightly 1 occurrence. Old farmers of that time could 1 ell a tale of a distant murmur as of a crowd, ( if the clash of steel, and of the stealthy march J >y of the conspirators. We are reminded of these things by a statement s nade from unquestioned sources that the 8 •rdinary mind still clings to the pleasing novelty >f secrecy, and that in a certain part, and a I rery important one, of the colliery districts i ipcret societies in existence before last August, f md which had something to do in precipitating t 1, conflict which most reasonable men condemned, 8 ire in existence and in action now! These t secret societies have nothing to do with those ipon Parliaments of the collier where, with properly elected representatives and qnali- t ied chairman, a meeting discusses the c i.dvisability or not of correcting the sliding- f icale, or the question of proper payment for imbering, or as to whether the vein of coal for f fhich a certain payment is made is not in ,eality another vein. The secret societies have J; lothing to do with these things, and the care fi vith which they shroud their proceedings lead 1 me to believe that the principal aim is to bring e tbout a rupture between capital and labour for a tersonal benefit. c To all this sort of thing, we are assured by ho same authority, the great mass of the J oilier a of South Wales and Monmouthshire xe strongly opposed, but he would have this ipposition shown by earnest and thoughtful t xjtion in exposing and correcting, rather than J- hey should look on patiently for the bomb to ex- >lode Let them advocate free discussion in open ,ir or hall, but denounce all secret conclaves. Pbere was a time, we are reminded, when the [lan who tampered with his lamp or offended gainst several of the looal or Imperial clauses t legislative enactment was screened by his 1 ellow-worker, who shrank from being a spy or rom being called a sneak. But wh6n life was mperilled by such concealment reticence was Lecidod to be an injustice to the others, and for long time the great body of the colliers have s ten active in looking after and helping to (. unish those who breilk the laws. Similarly, r a a moral way, their course now ie quite as lear-advocate the freest discussion, but tole- r ate no secret bands of plotters of mischief. c t

A Peep at Great People THE CURTAIN OF HIGH LIFE LIFTED. Royalties Favour (Card Games and the Stakes for which They Play. It is a great mistake to imagine that th. Emperor of Germany objeots to card playing, notwithstanding all his various decrees am edicts, menacing those who indulged thereii with his most severe displeasure. To what h< is opposed is the high stakes, and were his officers willing to conform tfcemselvo* to his notions with regard to the amount needed to furnish a game rritlr the necessary excitement we should probably never hear anything more about his antagonism to the card-table. That such is the case w shown by the fact that, after a dinner whick brought the end to a. great pheasant shoot organised by Prince Licbnowsky In his honom at Kuchelna, his Majesty spent the entire even- ing playing cards with Prince Hatzfeldt and his host. The game was that German on* called "skat," and the points were for a German pfennig. iThe Emperor was the principal loser, having had poor hands dealt to him all evening, and when he arose from the table he was out exactly threepence. The King of Saxony is exceedingly fond of the same game, which he is accustomed to play every night after dinner, his stakes, like these of the Emperer of Germany, aever exceeding one I penny. It would be rather amusing to watch the f&oe of the Prince of Wales were such truly regat stakes as these proposed to him. The only time (says a. writer in an American paper) that 1 can ever recollect him to have played for less than a guinea was at Hughenden, when on a. visit to the Earl of Beaconsfield. Bernal Osbome, father of the Duchess of St. Albam and of Lady Blake of Jamaica. wa £ one of the party when the Prince pro' posed a game of whist, with ive-guinea points. Lord Beaconsfield was a poor man, obliged to count every penny, and Bernal Osborne caught sight of the maimer ia which his face fell when the proposal was made. Grasping the situation and remem- bering that Lord Beaconsfield had but a few weeks previously added the imperial crown of India to the British regalia by causing Queen Victoria to be proclaimed as Empress oi India, he turned to the prince and remarked, Would it not be more appropriate, sir, to play for crown stakes?" The Prince caught on at once, made a flattering reference to the old Premier, and the points played for were, aw suggested, five shillings instead of fire guineas. The greatest royal gambler en record was thf ill-fated Queen Marie Antoinette of Franca, much of whose unpopularity and sorrow origi- nated in her pasaion for high play. It waa this that led her to admit not only to her oenirt, but also to her table, parvenus of doubtful reputa- tion and antecedents whose only merit in hex eyes wae that they were rieh and willing te lose*

A FOOTBALL QUARREL. 1 Said the Cd riJi rr C'uio I lavs l/ ifeea tha Transfer Rule. We are informed that the Welsh Bagby Union Committee will have before them em Tuesday the question of a breach of the Welali Rugby Union transfer laws. It appears that: W. Davies, the full back of the Harlequins Football Club, played for the Cardiff F.C. with. out first having obtained the necessary transfer. Davies applied to the Harlequins secretary for his transfer to Cardiff, but the latter refusad the same until his committee had been con- sulted. Mr. Gwynn (secretary of the Welsh Union) was then communicated with by the Harlequins, and we understand that he wired to the Cardiff Club, pointing out that the tranter of the player in question had not been granted. WHAT THE CARDIFF CLUB THINK. In the course of an interview on the subject with a Western Mail representative on Sunday night, a prominent member of the Cardiff Foot- ball Club stated that the club he represented was the premier club in the town, and had a right to enlist the services of any member of the jnnior orgunisations,that might proffer his ser- vices, and, in his opinion, the transfer rules did not apply to distinct junior clubs in the town. D. W. Evans, the Cardiff full-back, who had signified his intention to play in the matok against Penarth on Saturday and was duly advertised in the local press to play, on Saturday morning intimated that he wsa unable to do so. He was not the only one, for at the last moment Dobson and Ramsey did not turn up. Having filled up the places of the last named, the club had the greatest difficulty in securing a substitute for Evans at full back. Davies, of the Harlequins, happened to be in the Angiil. Hotel a few minutes before the match started and was asked to play and accepted the posi tion. It is well known that Davies haa beei desirous of doing duty for the Cardiff Clul for some time, and had before this written to Mr A. J. Davies, the secretary of the Harlequin* for his transfer, which he has not yet receiTed. Apart from these considerations, the committee- man stated that Davies really played as a sub- stitute on Saturday. Referring to the transfer rules as obtaining. amongst the various town clubs, he instanced the case of Smith- son, who at the time was a member of the Cardiff Football Club, and on th* day was down to play for the second fifteen, but did not turn up. Later on it was found that:, he had been assisting the Harlequins against Bristol. The committeeman had no idea that: the matter was to be fought out, and if anything more was heard of it the subject won7 be thrashed out at the meeting of the Wei Union on Tuesday.

FIRE AT CARDIFF. A Paraffin Lamp Explodes and Causes Flames. At two o'clock on Sunday morning Police oon stable Phelps, while on duty in Penarth-road, Cardiff, hearing cries, went to No. 174, Penarth road, where he found the occupier. Mr: Jam" Sweeney, standing on the sill of the front bed- room upstairs shouting for assistance. Police. constable Phelps and Acting-sergeant Davies thereupon broke open the front door and found the place full of smoke. Proceeding upstairs, the officers discovered Mrjs. • Sweeney lying on the bed in a dazed condition, and immediately carried her to an apartment downstairs, and after the window had been opened and fresh air admitted she speedily recovered. In the mean- time it was found that the outbreak was caused by the explosion of a parffin lamp which in- cautiously had been left burning on the kitchen table when Mr. and Mrs. Sweeney retired to bed. The burning liquid set fire to a table and some chairs, but with a few buckets of water the fire was extinguished, the damage dene being slight. The reel from the Grangetown Police-station, in chargc of Sergeant Ferris, arrived shortly after the alarm had been given, but it was found unnecessary to use it.

CARRIAGE ACCIDENT. Cardiff People Have Narrow Escape- from Death. Ou Sunday afternoon, a singular carriage -it. occurred at BlaekwÜr. near Cardiff. It appears Mr. Larocus, of 13, 1-tuperra-street, Docks, accompanied by his wife and a friend, had been out for a drivp in a dog-cart, and were returning home, when the animal took fright near Whitchurch, and bolted at a ter- rific pace in the direction of Cardiff. Ch reaching Biaokweir the affrighted animaiL dashed against the dwarf wall of No. 67, Vachcll's terrace, and fell over into the gar- den, with the result, that both shafts of the vehicle, were snapped, and, the vehicle over- turning, the occupants were thrown out on to the roadway, hut, strange to say, they sus. tained no iniurv. The trap was completely wrecked, and r:h, liorun was badly out abew* the legs and body.
