NOTE S. BY "OBSERVER," CARDIFF, Saturday Mbrning. Here's Football once more, lads, We break from our tether- We're hot and we're eager Once "more for to, play We're tit as a tiddie I And light as a feather, And we lonk for the game On a bright winter's day! No more of the wicket, No mention of cricket, The ball, bat, and stymps Are put safely away; For cricket's both tedious And tiringly devious; But Football's the thing For a bright Saturday! So ho! for the leather. The rom p on the "heather," The rush and, the scrum, And the glory of play. No ga-me is so skittish, So joyous—and Hi-itich- As Football when played On a bright winter's day! These are not to much my personal senti- ments as those of the Office Poet, who cele- brates thus the commencement of the football stason. What atrocities that luminary will be perpetrating before the end of it time only can show! The festival concludes to-day with the er>;er- giorious "Meesiah" and the tisuftl concert. It has been a decided success, despite the high prices, which, as a matter of fact, it was im- possible to avoid. A number of works of the tirst rank hive been produced to the delight of discriliuniiti.ng audiences, whose unani- mous verdict is th:;t they have enjoyed a great musical treat. This judgment is, on the whole, thoroughly corroborated by the outside vforld, to wit, the London amd English pro- vincial pre's, The nasty, ungrateful, unsportsmanlike Yankee really doesn't deserve the treat in store for him! Here lie has treated our Dunraven as shabbily as could be, and, 10 and behold, we are sending him bur Welsh .nightingale and her chaimiilg vocalists! Scandalous, I call if. "Heaping coals of fire, is really nowhere near it in comparison..The most we can hope is that the choir will so victimise and beAvitch old Sam that he won't know where lie are, and serve him right too, the old humbug! The current number of "The Album" is of permanent interest, containing, as it does, a series of admirable photographs of the lead- ing womeii novellas of the day. Some excel- lent views of the glorious cathedral at Glou- cester add to the value of the numer. The "Sketch" lias a gTeat Wealth of half-tone il- lustrations, those of a series of cats bei.ng very clever bits of inst»nfcneb<3 work. Sporting iiiid dramatic pictures are a speciality. "Black yhd White" has a charming study, entitled "The Fall of the Leaf," by E. Nietskv. The grates of the massacred missionaries in China are pictured iri t.he "illustrated London News." There is a pretty full-page view of Lynmouth in the "Netf BudQsfi," al.-=o an illustrated article on "Some Romeos and Juliete of the past." The charming scene of "Parisian Stars" fs continued ih "St. Pahl's," tvhirfi is now in its fifth volume. "Spofech is siilver, but silence is golden," is rtn old adage which used to confront me on the head line of my ropy-book many years ago. "Silence" -certainly in some casee>, nay, in many (siws, niay be "g-olden," but the pricticd may be carried too' far, and, what to us at first sight may feem the veritable bre, may, On examination, turn Out to be cleverly tinted dross. As a case in point, Cardiff being a; large shipping port, any event connected with ships or tho riidvcments df those that "go down, to the fieo" in the same is very sure Of excitinz the keenest interest. How much I JHiBfa, must the^Q-ioitui ha,ve beea ?- --?- stirred over an event of the magnitude of the I recent Turkistan-EcLam collision? As I hive,1 already pointed out, tiifere is a merit—and one that, were some of ua possessed of it, would be a gain—in being able to hold our tongiles1, In being able to say quite enough fo allay sus- picion and lull undue curiosiity, without neces- sarily desc ending to what ill known as "giving the show away." The Turki-ttn collided with and sank the Edam, and, considering the former vessel was bound for Cardiff, the people of that place naturally expected that they would hear some- thing definite as to the causts of the disaster. It appears, however, a much easier task to get au oyster open by whistling "Yan-keta Doodle" than to get a plain statement of the facts of the case from the parties connected with or the officers of the Turkistan. Noth- ing; no details for which the public waited so expectantly were forthcoming. I forbear commenting on the case further, as it is tstill "sub judice," and no one sympathises more than I do- with those who are concerned in the affair, but on behalf of the public I may say that a statement—brief, if the case required it—shbuld have been made. No harm eould possibly have come of it; oil the contrary, it would have afforded small opportunity for the hatching df the absurd caliard's which are floating through Cardiff. To conie back to my original contention, it is very well to "look before you leap," but it is the height of folly to refuse to ''look" when the "leap" is bound to coine in the or- dinary course of events. What a fine gentleman must the special musical correspondent of the "Standard" 00, and what a pity lie doesn't disclose his honour- able identity and so 'give Cardiffiaiis the oftjSSr- tunity of admiring him. The dear man He is so delightfully condescending hi his notc§! J us-, read what he is gockl tendugh to say of te— how he flings the crumbs at us as follcnvetii: -Cardiff is not a bfeautiful tbwn, and Q;1V a few flags waving in the prinoipal streets served to rdiow that the humdrum life of the plac-j (VA« to be temporarily bfiglitened by an art celebration." Now isn't this a pretty way of speaking of the Metropolis of Wales? "Not a beautiful town," forsooth, and "humdruln." I woiicM- in what, part of our Oardiff his mightLiess does us the distinguished Honour of hanging out? And will he be so good as to iurmsh a 'list of, say, a dozen towns that are "beautiful" and that are "bot humdrum," in order that we may be admitted to some know- ledge of his standard, which must, methinks, be of a wonderfully high and select character. When one comes to th;ik of it, 'tis almost a wonder lie came to Cardiff at all. Perhaps he wouldn't have ventured though had he known of its humdrum character and conspicu- ous lack of beauty. Now that he is here, however, he really ought to let us have a look at him; it is just passible We might then be in a. position to return him, with thanks, his own kind complimmts'

CHOLERA PATIENTS. THE PROPOSED HOSPITAL ON THE FLAT E,OLM. At the Town-hall, Cardiff, oh Friday morn- ing, Mr. T. W. Thompson, of the Medical Department of the Board of Trade, held an inquiry jntothe application of the Cardiff County Council to borrow B2,450 for the pur- pose of erecting a. cholera hospital on the Flat Holm. Mr. W. H. Ahdrew (deputy towh- clerk) appeared to support the application Sir. J. Arthur Hughes also supported on behalf or tho Barry Sanitary Authority, and Air. G. W. Chambers watched the proceedings on behailf of Air. J. S. Corbett, solicitor to the Marquess of Bilte. There were also present the mayor (Alderman P. W. Carey), Alderman T. W. Jacobs, Air. Henry White, Dr'. Walford (medi- cal officer), Mr. W. Harpur (borough engineer), Dr. O'Donnell (representing the Barry Local Beard), and Dr. Neale (the Barry medical officer).—Mr. Harpur sttated that the proposed hefpital was intended fór the reception of cholera patients only, who might, be brought into the waters of the port of Cardiff from foreign ports by shipping. It was intended to Saud and treat -any such patients at the Flat Holm, and so obviate the necessity of bringing them into the town or on to the main land. Patients from the town, or suffering from other diseases than cholerai, were not intended to be con- veyed for treatment to the proposed new hos- pital on the Flat Holm. The existing farm- house was intended to be used for admiiustrur five purposes, and the small existing ward wotild be used in case of necessity as all isola- tion or auxiliary ward of the proposed new pavilion. The new building would comprise two ««x-bed wards and a nurse's room, with the requisite sanitary arrai^geineiits. The build- ing would he erected of stone and brick, with si slated roof, and the stone would be quarried on the island. The estimate of cost had been based on the actual cost of erecting the new sanatorium, but. 25 per cent, had been added £ nr the cost, of conveying materially to the island and providing for the men employed on the erection of the building.—Mr. Hughes and Dr. O'Donnell stated that the Barry Sanitary Authority supported the schfeme, and an agreement had been made between the local board and the corporation whereby the latter would take all the Batry cholera patients on the payment of a certain annual sum which had been fixed upon. The plans of the proposed hospital had also been approved.—Air. G. W. Chambers -stated that the. Marquess* of Bute had agreed to lease the Flat Holm with, the exception of the portions1 occiffned by the War Office and Trinity House for a period of 99 years at a. rental of £100 a year. He did not anticipate any difficulty in carrying out the arrangement.—The Inspector 'intimated that his report would be made in due course, and the proceedings terminated. .?--

A (gIG MUSTER. ANNTTAIi POLICE INSPECTION AT MERTHYR. On Friday the Merthyr Police Eoroe under- went the annual inspection by Captain Parry, her Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary. The men, headed by Superintendent Thorney, who was mounted on a very fine mare, marched to Penydarren Park, where they were put through a series of drills, the cutlass exercises, under the guidanoe of Sergeant Bennett (Peny- darren), lacing very sihartly performed. Cap- tain Lindsay (cliief-constablej was present, and, .in addition to thfe superintendent, .the parade included Inspectors. Cook (Dowlais) end Cole (Merthyr), together with six ser- geants and 46 constaBles. Captain Parry distributed the badges and certificates won by *the members of the police ambulance cla^s, conducted by Dr. Riddle. The Inspector dwelt on the importance of ambulance instruc- tion to police officers, and publicly thanked Dr. Biddle for the attention he had given to the training of the men. Subsequently Captain Parry inspected the books at the police-station office, which are under the care of Sergeant W. Davies, and expressed himself highly pleased with all lie-saw. In their new helmets and uniform with bright facjng-8. the men looked far better than in former year: when the old dark-coloured ornamentation^ prevailed. Superintendent Thorney has abun- tlnnt reason to feel proud of the force he com- mands—The s111116 day the inspecting officer visited Aberdare. and again expressed himself as highly pleased. -??--

WELSH ELOPEMENT. A WARD IN CHANCERY CARRIED OFF. TIie railway officials at Willesderi Junction and the loeai police were informed that A couple wollld_ arrive by Tlie., express due from Holyhead laft ten p.irj. on Thursday, and1 that one was a young hdy Wider age, a ward in Charbery, who WAS bein^ abducted by a geutBesiteii. both coming from L^ndudno; Detective feartley and Railway Detective Hey- v.-ood visited the station, and by an express on JJ'litltlier line 'a, clergyiiiali and it lady- arrived, and made an endeavour to see the detectives and Mr. Brown, the night station- master. When the expected train arrived the clergyman fetfd the lady inspected each car- riage, but it was stated that a, handsome young' ]ady .and a ^enMenian left the fore part of the train httrtiealy and jurtiped into a cab outside the station whilst the other's were watching the back portion of the train. The clergyman and his companion seemed greatly distressed, and only volunteered the infonna t'on that the aib^'eonding coilple were both well connected! at Llandudn-o. The detectives are now tracing the cab. which is supposed to have gone in the directidn of St. John's Wood, and other inquiries are being made in various directions. All the London stations are beihg watdlied, and the Metropolitan police have had a, description of the couple circulated amongst them.

WELSlTcHORAL SINGING. VIEWS OF SIR J. BARNBY AND MR. BEN DAVIES. Mr. and. Airs. Louis Tracy entertained at the Park-hall a number of ladies find gentlemen officially connected with the Musis Festival. Amongst those present were Sir Joseph and' Lady Barnby an.d Miss Barnby, Madame Atedora Henson, Miss Oliver, Air. and Mrs. Whitney Mockridge, Mrs and Airs. W. H. Sonley Johnstone, Mr: and Mrs. Tom Evans, Mr. and Airs. W. E. Waite, and Messrs. Ben Davies, Ffrangcon Davies, DoilgLs Powell, and Watkin Mills.—Ih the cdursd of the evening Air. Tracy proposed the "Cardiff Musical Fe,tival.Si r Joseph Barnby, in reponding-, referred at length to his suggestion that there should be a choral festival of a wider and more national character, which should brinty together the large choral re- sources of the country, which was so extra- ordinarily excellent. The Eisteddfod, he said, i-ad done much, but it was time for a sister fathering which might lead to more dis- tinguished ends the splendid musical ability there shown.- LAir. Sonley JohnstOne proposed the health of the vocalists, particularly laying stress on the pluck of Madame Henson in undertaking at so short a notice work so im- portant and thereby saving the festival from a possible fiasco.—In response, Air. Ben Davies thanked Sir Joseph for his recent cri- ticism on Welsh choral singing. He felt certain that Sir Joseph had done a great service to the Principality, and that the musicians of Wales were quite at one with him. He had for some years past come to the same conclu- a u- sion, but he felt that it was not competent for him to express his opinion. Now that the way was laid open by so distinguished a musician, it Wafe tinle for Welshmen to come forward and do their best to vindicate, in thfe manner pro- posed, the splendid genius of the Welsh nation. He felt that a festival of a national character giving important works would be a magnificent means of directing aright jiativc talent and bringing it to bear its proper fruit. ?

NOTORIOUS II ns. vMsmm TO VISIT THE GRAND THEATRE NEXT W:EEK. The boards of the Grand Theatre, Cardiff, will be occupied next week by one of the greatest of modern plays. Most carefully written; constructed, full of mental power, and well thought out in every detail, "The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmitli" may be regarded as Mr. Pinero's best work. It is written somewhat on the lines of Mr. Grant Allen's "Woman Who Did," in whidh that author makes so chivalrous, but mistaken, an attempt to defend a shameless union. "Mis. Ebb- sm'itli" is a woman of ten who has learned to feel for the of the people who are bowed down by labour and care. She loses a. tyrannical husband, and in the course of her subsequent experience a,s a nurse becomes entangled with a patient in good society who is living apart from a. bad wife. So in the t^etii of conventionality, the pair form ah irregulai union which, we learn, is to end as soon as the companionship of one bteconles dis- agreeable to the other. Tliere w il be diverse opinions as to the open diseussioi. of such subjects as these on the sbu.se of theatre. To say^ that the play is immoral is to pass a hasty and mistaken, judgment 'sn one of tire most powerful and in- structive lessons which has been filrnishfed by the m'odern dram4. Towards the finish of the story 'it becomeis plain that the free union can no longer bear the strain which is at tempted1 to .be put on it. The .sister of a Yorkshire clergyman persuades "Mrs. Ebb- smitli" to make a home with her, 'and when the curtain d'-rops the pair say good-bye, with protestations of unalterable affection. A finfe representation of the play is sure to be given by Air. Fred Latham's company, and the visit of Mifs Cynthia Brooke, wll(1se acting in The Second Airs. Tanqueray," gained for her an Unviable repu- tation in the provinces, undoubtedly, be looked' forward to. She js supported by a verv strong company, whidh includes Miss- Helen Conway.

SOilTli WALES TO LONDON. PROPOSED NEW LINE OF RAILWAY. Ihe announcement Jnade in the "Western. Alail" on Friday of a projected new line of railway connecting SQlitli Wales with the Metro- polis created a. good cfieal of intierest^ aiid. specu- lation- waa rife as to what route will be cven- tutlly decided upon. The publication of the proposal has resuscitated the discussion on previous endeavours to promote an independent line to London, and one gfrntleman, who aas connected with one of the former ventures, On being interviewed by one of our representatives stated that what we have already said On the subject is well founded. "It is anticipated, lie said, "in the course of a. few days, or two or three weeks at the outside, that the position of affairs will have become so far developed as to ehnble us to give further important information." The reference made to the scheme;being connected with the. Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln- shire Railway, he believed, might, perhaps, be looked upon a.s premature, for a reason tLat would be obvious, viz., that any new line from South Wales to London must, to corfipetie with the Great Western Railway, "enter the Metro- polis at a point nearer -ilie centre of the great city than the West End station at Paddington, Ihe great complaint on the part of all South Wales travellers is that wlieil they reach Pad- dir.gion tlie'y have another hour's journey before. they, ."aivrive at the business port ion of the City. Present indications pointed to a, competition for the London's te<rmiiiiu;s bafiai'g between two such points as Watt-rloo and .4 spot sonievrJiete near Eueaton or Ivisig's Gross. In the scheme for » new line from South Wales to London there V!ras gravtl doubt 4s to wh.erfier it would pay to go below SwaiJsea. On the,.other hand, it wau cH>nsidered in sonii- c-irqles that. Mil ford would have to be included, ami f^ith this end in view, the asisisitance of American capitalists and sihf.ausihip lines nrij^it be chained in order to make that route tihe favoured one as 'ccStot'f.xiTed with Southampton or Livel^ool. Among-t o>ther_ advantages accruing from .stioh a competi- tive line pne could reasonably put the develop- |Gj ment of Ali-.ford, whicdi had beep talked about for g;tnera)tiion.s, and which for its accomplish- ment must necessarily include it as a ter- minus of a transatlantic steamship route, on the one hand, a.nd the main terminus of at trunk line to the Metropolis, on tho other. Tli'eiv were other considerations, such as the bridging or tunnelling of the Severn, the cross- ing of the W ye at Chepstow, the Usk at New- pdrt. and the Ion? stretches of barren coast- line befcw S«-ans-fa, wiiie-h for a ri\;w line pre- sented a&pects of very great difficulty a.nd .moment from an .engineering point .of view. There could1 be only one opinion, however, as to the success of sudh a line in a commerciall and financial sense, seeing that a new railway could be constructed now at practically one- fourth of the amount expended on the Great Western Railway 50 years ago.
