Football Competition.
Football Competition. THIS WEEK'S WINNER OF THE GUINEA PRIZE. Some Useful Hints for the Weish Team in their Final International I Struggle. The past week's competition for the football prize has been a keen and a large one. Over 4,000 coupons were sent in, of which 256 were successful in giving the names of each of the winning clubs. When the matter of scores came to be dealt with, these, however, soon narrowed down to a trio. Strange to say, out of such an enormoas number of coupons, not a single one gave the correct winning scores in all the matches. Several gave the correct goals, tries, and points in one or two matches, but no one went nearer than that. With the last three left m it became a question to decide as to whose coupon, all things considered, came most nearly to the actuai solution. Upon this principle we have decided to adjudge the prize to MR W. M. TUNLEY, 19, Duke-street. CARDIFF, Whose coupon sent in was as follows: — WINKEB. LOSER. wct^H £ g E. T. £ G. T. £ G. T. G.

Job, 3, North Loudoun-place, Cardiff. One hears regret on every hand that so many of the original team are unable to make the journey to Belfast this week end. Personally, I don't think that the defection of Gould or M Cutcheon will make much difference, but the absence of Graham and Boucher will weaken our front rank considerably. Both are clever dribblers, and persistent in follow- ing up, i-ust the type of men required to break up the combination of the Irish forwards. The easiest way to meet a clever lot of forwards is to prevent them from bieaking away. Our men must secure the ball in the scrimmage at any cost, and then compel the Irishmen to exorcise their scrimmaging powers. Once this is done the ball can be heeled out, and the halves, freed from the close attention of the opposing forwards, will be able to transfer to the three-quarters with some hope of success. Of course, our main hope will be the backs, but our forwards will have to remember one thing, and that is, that to attempt to heel out continually will mean that the Irish forwards will simply hang on the fringe of the scrim- mage, ready to dart out and spread them- selves out over the field, and spoil our baek division. Our forwards will, of course, have to use discretion in this matter. Apropos of the Intern ationa.1 match, the London "Echo," under the title of "Ill-fortune for the I Principality, comments on Gould's absence as follows:—Vales will be unable to place her strongest team in the field against Ire- land next Saturday, many of her best-known men being forced to absent themselves from the fixture. A. J. Gould, T. C. Graham, and A. W. Boucher are spoken of as those whose presence is likely to be missed, and those who recogniise the sterling abilities of the firet-named will understand what his absence really means. Undeniably he is the most finished centre tihroo-quarter of any of the internationalists. The line turns upon him as its pivot, and the lack of his experience will make a great dif- ference to his side. A forward's place can be filled without much difficulty, but with a back it is different. Ireland has naw but to defeat Wales to run through the series with an unbroken record, and the probability is that she will do so. English forwards defeated the Welshmen, the Irish pack were too good at Black heath, and playing on Saturday on their own ground, they will doubtless show that they have lost none of their daah." H. G. Wells, who is compelled to stand down from the Irish international team, was the smallest of the Irishmen. He has been described as a "pocket Heroules." He stands 5ft. 4in. in height, weighs eleven stone, and is 22 years of age. He was born at Agra, India, but went to Ireland when quite young, and learnt his footbaJl with a olub connected with a Dublin railway works. Afterwards he joined t.he Claremont Football Club, and when that club smashed he, along with several of his fellow members, joined the Beeiive Rangers, with whom he has since been connected. He is exooedingly fast, and, like many other speedy three-quarters, he has his good days, and then he is very da.ngerous, being undoubtedly the best scorer in Ireland. He played for Ireland against Scotland some few veara ago. With the ex- ception of the height, his similarity to Pearson in the matter of birth, &c., -.vill strike many of my readers. The figure fiend has been at work, and wishes us to consider the number of A. A. Zimmer- man's successes during last season's cycle racing. It is generally interesting, and more especially to cyclists, so I give them. He won in all prizes to the value of 11,848 dollars. His miscellaneous assortment of awards comprised 35 diamond pins, rings, and studs, fifteen bicycles, twelve sets of silver ware, six clocks, eight watches, eleven medals, one piano, two road buggies aad a pair of horses, two bronze figures, two cups, one dressing-case, one gun, one suit of clothes, and a set of tyres. His most costly prize was the 1,000 dollar gold cup won at Indianapolis. The piano was valued at 600 dollars. Three 250-dollar diamonds were won at Milwaukee and Cincinnati, and a 250-djllar bronze statue in Paris. The cham- pion competed in 70 open events, and won 66 of them. He won eight of fourteen handicaps, conceding long starts; of ten International events he won eight; and he was not beaten in any lap race. Nine out of twelve champion- ships fell to him, and he fell in two of them. To capture these prizes Zimmerman had to compete at 32 race meets in five different countries, and covered in all 174 miles on the track in actual racing. Such a record as this has never been equalled by any other cyclist. The annual general meeting of the Cathays Cricket Club was held at the South Wales Rootaullnt, Queen-street, Cardiff, when the following officers for the ensuing season were elected Captain, Mr. J.

A PROSAIC LOVER.
A PROSAIC LOVER. Sued by a Swansea Girl for Breach of a Marriage Promise. A sheriff's court was held at Swansea Town- hall on Tuesday afternoon (before Air. E. B. Reece, under-sheriff, and a jury) to assess damages in a, breach of promise action brought by Miss Louila Hewett. late of Uplands. Pem- brey, now manageress of a boot shop at Broms- grove, against Mr. Ford Slater, described as a wholesale stationer, of Gorse-lane, Swansea.. Mr. Howails, Llanelly. appeared for the plain- tiff, a neatly-dressed young woman. 31 years of age: and Mr. Meager (instructed by Mr J. Yiner Leeder) for the defendant. Mr. Howells, in opening the case, stated the facts (as detailed by the plaintiff below), and gave extracts from letters. The plaintiff saict she now resided at Pem- brey with her uncle. She was 31 years of age. She had known the -defendant nearly twenty- years, and first made his acquaintance at Swan- sea, where he visited her father's house with her brother She was acquainted with him for ten years, after which her family left Swan- sea. She afterwards became acquainted with him again whilst on a visit to Stroud, and he then commenced courting her. She became manageress of a boot and shoe shop at Broms- grove and had the letters from the defendant which had been read by her oounsel. Her parents at that time lived at Ulev, and whilst she was on a visit to them defendant came there, and in consequence of his promise to marry her when trade allowed she gave up her situation. Defendant's sisters visited her a.t Ulev for a month, and she came to Swansea and stayed with them for a month. Whilst there defendant seemed to be very 0001 towards her, and he made no efforts to make her visit enjoyable. After she went to Peinbrev defen- dant came to see her. She asked him why he had done so little to make her visit enjoyable, and had not told his parents of their engage- ment. He told her if she was Dot satisfied they had better "jack it up." He said he did not come down there to be talked to. Wit- ness said the time he had promised to marry her was up. and asked if she should get another I situation. He said "if she was in such a bad humour he would put on his hat and go home." He would not be persuaded to stay, and she was very much put out. She had seen nothing of him since that time. He had given her a ring and several presents. Defendant had said he was in partnership with his father as a wholesale stationer and paper bag merchant, and the firm kept a traveller. Extracts from letters were read :— On the 19th of October defendant wrote her as follows :—"Any man that would marry without prospects is not worthy of the name. None of ns can answer for the future. I don't like to ibsk yeu by letter if you are willing to form an alliance and become engaged because I think I ought to be with yen, so tha.t if you answered Yes I could show my appreciation, and, secondly, I don't know exactly when I can con- veniently get married. It may. possibly, be a couple of years, and perhaps it would be wrong- for me to ask you to be a party to such an arrangement. I may say this. I told your Jim fourteen years ago if I ever did marry I knew the girl that would be my wife. I have never during that time asked a female to go for a walk or written a. letter to anyone but the girl I then referred to." On the 27th of October he wrote I was much pleased with your letter, and I trust we shall never regret our promises. Two years is a long time to be separated, but I cannot but think it is for the better. I trast the unhealthy excitement about business will then die down." In further letters he bewailed the dulness of trade, *and said he had never considered himself much of a hand with the ladies, but he reciprocated her remarks and hoped she was not flattering him. remarks and hoped she was not flattering him. "Perhaps, however." he added, "it is because I never before met anyone I troubled about till Christmas of 1890. Why on earth I did not peek the opportunity earlier puzzles me." Subsequently, after the stormy interview, he wrote :—" 9fch January, 1894. I must thank you for causing me this morning one of the greatest surprises of mv life. You know per- greatest surprises of mv life. Yon know per- fectly well I never broke any promise. The I last time I was at the Uplands you told me to go, and slammed the door of the room into which you went. If you have money to spend on law you are better off than I am." W In reply to Mr. Meager, plaintiff admitted that none of the letters were gushing, and that the first distinctly stated defendant's position, and said he was not able to fix any date for the marriage. Defendant lived with his father. They had a printing office behind their house in Gorse-lane. They made and printed paper bags. She believed he was a partner, She had since tried to get a situation, and failed, but she could go back to old situation. By Mr. Howells The defendant was a noultry-fancier, and told her he was giving .So and JE12 for a single bird. She told him she considered be thought more of a bird thar. of her to do so. For the defence the defendant and his father were called. Defendant said he respected pluin- tiff, but simply was unable to marry. He had no money.—His father stated that the business hardly supported the family. His son had never received a pennv as partner, and assisted him in his work because he could get nothing better. The jury, after hearing- the under-sheriff, assessed the damages at £ 40.

Ob. he's an innocent chap is Mr. Carl Hertz, In the greenest of sap he's been growing But yoM 're apt to grow pale as he tells you the tale, And shows you a trick worth the knowing." Yes. iry masters, he is very 'ot," as Ko.K« CARL HERTZ. explained after WE had witnessed the conjuring gentle- man's little" ker- noodlhig" with that wonderful illusion of his. Truly, but it is a marvellous show an entertainment that makes one exude moisture and enthu- siasm at one and the same moment. M'yes he is a bit startling, and quite an interesting speci- men of how much quicker the hand can be than the eye. On this point, however, he formsso vexed, an- noyed, and otherwise offended a ques- tion that to tit- tempt the disen- tanglement of it is a forcible reminder oi the commentator who said a dry-plate is sorry refresh- ment. Personally, therefore. I am con- tent to let how docs be do it ? rush, and get to the more oongenial and matter- of-fact question of the happenings. The bird cage trick wa.s his pises de rssista ncs a few years back, and with it he-mystified every audience he came across. Of course there be always some who imagine the; know how things are done. Ko-Ko, although he be sensible on a, few points, is, I am bound to con- fess. one of these kind of gerloots, and in answer to my exclamation of surprise when the trick was shown the other evening he ran his nngersthroug-hhis curiy locks, and, raking up what he remembered of his Frencn. or what passes for such, rejoined, Yous pcuviez le faMe." Jusso! Always providing a man knows how. Oh. but he is a sad knave is Ko-Ko. ——— But the great mystery, and one which M& Hertz assures me it took him three years te perfect, is the disappearance of a gentleman locked and shackled to a board, and in whose place less than half a minute later appears a young lady, whilst the original occupant of the board coolly walks down the side of the hall as if he had been among the audience all the evening. By the grand owld un and that's an awful oath as things go just now, but it's a, great show, and to better it one has to be clever with no uncertain cleverness. In fact, quote the words of one might have been an estimable personage had he not become a mem- ber of the Cardiff Corporation. "It's a great and glorious show, and wants a lot of whaek- ing Truly, what would you more ? "Harvest Hmille" runs very merrily at present. It has been trimmed down a little. and altogether is brighter and crisper than of yore. To my way of thinking the school seece is one which might be well dispensed with altogether, and its excision would leave the piece a charming little spectacle well within reasonable limits. As for the revels themselves they are very charming ancl very clever. The dancing is smart, the music bright, and the setting a triumph of scenic effect. I understand the current week will me Harvest H-ro* s conclusion a.t the Empire, alter which it will be transferred bodily to the Panopticon, where I make no doubt its popularity will be as great aJó ever. ———— Speaking of the Panopticon they have several very strong attr&e- tions at the St. Mary street house this week. Familia- rity, it hath been said. breeds cen- tempt, and this we must suppose^ is the case with Parua. wlu;) handles serpents and alligators in a manner that would lead one to think they were the most docile and harmless of creatures. The Brothers Edgar are repeating some ether pantomime successes. and are nighty fetch- ing the house down with their clever banjo perfor- mance.. Mephiato does everything but tie himself in a com- plete knot, whilst a clever troupe oi Japanese artistes aUC4E, give a performance ONE OF THE EDGAM. decidedly out of the common. Taken &liogethej the Panopticon has several big attractions thi> week that should draw geod attendances. "Paul Kauvar," at the Royal, is a romaauw dealing with the days of the French Revolution, the never- to-be-forgotten Reign of Terror. It is a melodrama of exceptionally strong and thrill- ing interest, affording every scope for the exhi- bition of intense sensationalism. Mr. Asblev Page's rendering of the title role is a perfect masterpiece of humour and passion, and in the second and third acts his powerful declamation ia seen at its best. I should certainly recom- mend that no lover of remarkably sensational aranja .should miss seeing" Paul Kauvar." The Alhanrbra has an exceptionally sfcrensr THE SHEENY MAN. programme this week, and this fact is appreciated by the bif houses that are nightly putting in an appearance at the W estg-ate- street house. Mr. Fred Masen. whose peculiarity is pour- trayed in the accompanying sketch, is an im- personator of a' most resourceful type. As the Ynishr g-entlemau who resides in Petticoat lane he makes a hit that is only excelled, when he renders the peculiarities that are supposed to exist in the court- ship of a, coster and his "donah." It is wonderful what a hold whistling has obtained upon the 'gods': possibly they appreciate it because they can do their little let in this respect. Mr. Mason s whistling serenade goes very well, but I fancy I have heard something very much like certain passages of it before. Mr. Horace Wheatley expresses some com- mendable sentiments about a. lady, by name Miss O'Grady. of whom he tells us that Her name's Kate O'Grady, she's an Irish lady, Fairer than the flowers that grow down ia the dell: The best girl of any around all Kilkenny. She loves her Denny, and be lores his Irish girl. Very right and proper too. and it was only to be expected that the house would thunder with applause. The Sisters Flexmore and Misa Millie Yarcoe, with songs, smiles, and dances, completely won the hearts of their audience, whilst the Monetas paralysed the "gods" with some genuine knock-about business that shook the house and everyone in it. The Delevine# are a remarkably smart turn, whilst so are the Iiisoombes, Regan and Ryan. and James and Rose Lenton, duettists and speciality artistes. And now. sir, all this is verv trving, of verity 'tis po, and the further I look'ahead tl's blacker is the outlook. I' faith, but I cannot even see a pint of four ale in the offing, nor yet a sleepy man to play dominoes with I am like Orpheus, who would slew himself but Eurvdice, in the. shape of Turkish gin, cc^-a to the rescue, so I must stil] p}od on subset->• ing myself jours, in the same- old hole THE PEOMftER.
