The Turkish Crisis,
The Turkish Crisis, A GROWING UNEASINESS AMONGST ARMENIANS. Refugees Still in the Churches and Seven Hundred Killed and Missing. The Central News says that letters received V Mr. Aretis Nazarbek, the editor of the Armenian journal ^Nunt-chak," from Con- stantinople point to growing excitement among the Armenian population. The feeling of in- security has reached such a point that any out- break is possible. The police axe doing their bes'fc to compel the Armenian refugees 10 leave the churches, using ?ven threats of another massacre. On October 6, at mid-day, a revolver shot was heard in Pera neai the Armenian Church, in wl1:\c1.1 many Armenians have ta-ken refuge. A crowd of armed police manifested the intention of assaulting the church. The Armenians, however, mustered strongly, and showed such a determination that the police 'decided to take no action. EVACUATION OF THE CHURCHES A Rcuter's telegram from Constantinople on Thursday evening says —The evacuation of the Armenian churches took place to-day, any arms found in the possession of the refugees being seized and deposited in the Patriarchate. The departure of the refugees took place with- out any interference on the part of the police. There were twelve hundred men. women, and children in the Pera Church, and about five hundred in the Koum Kapow Cathedral. J ive more dead bodies were lianded in at the Patriarchate on the 3th inst. The number of the killed, injured, and missing since the first: outbreak of the disturbances is now estimated to exceed sevem hundred. In the environs of Kara Ghiomruk five Armenians have been killed by Turks. The prison" are stated to be in a dtplorable condition. According to particulars of the recent disturbances at Trebizond, the Christia.n quarters of the town was attacked by Mussulman mob. and a number of Christians were killed, while others took refuge outnde the town. The Russian Government is seid- ing war vessels to Trebizond.

CAN THIS BE TRUEp
CAN THIS BE TRUEp An Extraordinary Story from llfracombe, CAP- BECKBRtEG'S DEATH. Abandoned on the Beach for Eight Hours then Taken to the Mortuary Alive. Further details add to the horror of the death of Captain Beckerleg at Ilfracombe. A graphic letter from Mr. G. T. B. Cobbett, The Triangle, Hackney, appeared in the Pall Mall Gazette on Friday night under the heading, "An In- credible Story." It read as follows — About 9.50 a.m. on Wednesday, October 2, two men, named James Horrill and William Richards, gathering laver on the shore between Ilfracombe and Lee, about one mile and a half from llfracombe, proceeded to the assistance of a man wearing a life-belt who was jammed between two rocks in the sea. The men brought the castaway ashore, above high-water mark, and; tilled a pipe for him, which he smoked. lie stated that he was Captain Beckerleg, of the Lanisley, which foundered about 1.15 that morn- ing, that his ship was bound from Neath to Penzance, and that he had a. wife and family at Penzance. Horrill went to Ilfracombe. The police and coastguards were informed of the matter, and with a doctor and cab went to bring the man in; this was common knowledge in Ilfracombe at 11.45 a.m. There is a road close to the top of the cliff, which cliff, although rough, is easily scaled by good climbers unaided, and is easy climbing aided by a rope. No dry clothes or food was supplied to the unfortunate captain, but his wet clothes were taken off, and he lay naked in a hailstorm; one gentleman who descended the cliff later on took otf his own coat and trousers for the man, and walked home in his pants. The result of the aid of the coastguards, police, and doctor was tuttt aijout nvt p.m. Captain iJeckerleg, in a semi-oonscioug condition, was lying on the spot vv Aic/i« lie litiU. U'^cii oy j.viciiiiri'Ub u,nc1 Horrill soon atter 9.o0 a.m. A fresh south-west gale blew all day, with frequent hail and rain stOrms. Shortly before mid-day the Ilfracombe life- boat was launched and manned, but remained, in the harbour. Soon after two p.m. the tug Pride of the L sk arrived from Cardiff, as also did the Lady Margaret, a well-filled excursion steamer. About tins time the lifeboat crew came ashore. About 3.30 p.m. the crew re- turned and leisurely proceeded to get the life- boat on its carriage and by nearly tive p.m. had almost restored the lifeboat to its house. Just before five p.m. tha crew quickly got into the liteboat, which was again launched? It proceeded out of the har- bour, followed oy the tug, which picked it up and towed it to the spot where Captain Becker- i. Í": >vav. lying. 1. We, oi the crew of the tai diffiwa pilot boat immediately went ashore witk their punt desirous of putting the man in The warm cabin uf t.he tug, but were not permitted to do so. Eventually the man was taken off by the lifeboat, brought to llfracombe, carried into the Pier Hotel, examined by three dootors, a.nd within five minutes of being taken into the j warm hotel was pronounced dead, and oarried otf in a violent rainstorm to the Illortuary-a. cold corrugated iron building—where the corpse was deposited. Thereupon the corpse sighed a.nd moved its feet. Then, in this cold place, efforts were made to save the poor fellow, but h. vain. At Penzance a widow and ten children mount their loss. On Monday last at Penzance, in the presence of 2,000 people, followed by a long procession of the aldermen, councillors, pilots, a.nd townsmen, Captain Beokerleg's body was laid to rest. Commenting on the foregoing letter, the "Pall Mall Gazette'' says :—' We give a letter from a correspondent, who signs his nam, on the subjtct of a recent disaster at llfracombe. We have entitled it 'An Incredible Story,' and we should have hesitated to give publicity to it had we not assured ourselves of the position and standing of the writer. We can only hope that he has been misinformed in some a.t least of his facts. It is absolutely incredible that a shipwrecked man should have been allowed to lie on the beach from 9.30 a.m- till five pm., and it is still more incredible, if that is possible, that his liody should have been conveyed to the mortuary before it was definitely ascertained that life was extinct. But, in the interests of all concerned, it is desirable that the matter should be cleared up. We give the letter under all reserve, and we shall rejoice to find that our correspondent has been misled or mis- informed. But the story is so shocking that it demands prompt contradiction, or the most searching investigation into the behaviour of those implicatoo," CORROBORATION FROM PENZANCE. The "Cornish Telegraph" of Thursday con- tains an article on the al)ove subject, and says —The exact details of the sinking of the Lanisley we shall never know, although Captain Beokerlog, before he died, was able to give tbcee re^ouers whose efforts only served to urolong. his last agonies a briaf account of what took place on that tempestous night, which was fatal to many a stout veasel and many a gallant crew. The loss of the Lanisley is a lamentable aa-iamity. but, so far ao we know, it belongs under existing conditions to tihe category of un, prevent iblti ca.fast raphes. As mnah can not be said of the death of her captain. Had Qaptain Beokerleg's drowned and battered oorpje been washed ashore beneath the cliffa of Lee we could not have said anything ex- cept t.h'a.'t a, good sailor a.nd a brave man had meri his death. Sympathy would have gone out to those Who were so suddenly bereaved by his taking off no less freely tihan it has beera shown under the sadder oirournstances reveaUd a.s the inquest; but th.e death of Ca.ptain Beckerleg has been marked off from the drown- ing of his crew ài; a specially tragic event by the knowledge tiha.it he came ashore aolivt"- victorious, if exhausted, after a single-handed battle, over the angry sea which had overwhelmed his ship that he lived seven hours after landing, and that ii certain measures had been ken his wife would not' now be a widow and his dhildren o.pphang. The fact, t'ha't a man who bad beer- nine hours in the water wws allowed to be seven more hours on an open tnacth, exposed to the pitiless, pelting showens of rain and hail, is purely one w'hdch calls im- peratively for explanation of a full deiscriiption. Wha* ihas to be investigated is, not whether 'imose concerned "did tftieir beet" for Captain Beckerleg—some people's "best," may be no better &h»n tiM) extreme^ brainless blundering —but whether it was not possible, under tihe conditions which prevailed, to have saved life. The evidence already given has by no mearis satisfied us on that point. It ie evident, at all eventte, that cliff ladders ougOii to 'be lffipt in readiness in a locality where their absence may lead to the death of a fellow-oreature, aud fhat orders should be given Sie police tflipit they should consult the ordinary dictates of humanity rather 'ehan official regulations. THK RESULT OF THE INQUEST. In view ot the above statements it may be weJi io giv". the principal facts of the inquest concerning vhe death of Captain Beckerleg, w inch was concluded at llfracombe on Thurs day :—Richard Palk Cutlei, station officer of the llfracombe Coastguard Station, stated that OIl Wednesday, rhe 2nd. in-st.. a. constable told him that there was a man between Ilfracoinbo Hii<; Bui) Point, jammed between the rocks. He (witness* went to the place, ?.d on looking down ovev the cliff he saw a constable attend- ing to the man, using artificial means to restore him. This \vu* about half-pa#it one. The ma.n was unconscious on his arrival, and the con- stable was doing his best to recover him. They moved deceased under the cliff for shelter, as a heavy hailstorm had noine ou. Constable Mar- tin stood over the man to protect him from the wind. After Dr. Toller had been there a,bout an hour and a. half he went away to get some dry clothing, medicine, and hot water. botties for the main. Long before Dr. Toller i-.eft uhey tried to get Captain Beckerleg HD the cliff by means of the lifeline. The line was '.nfcde fast to the grating, and the body lashed to ir. They then found that it was impossible to lift him in that way. There was a bit of a lull in the storm, and he oame to the conclusion that the only way to get him off was by means of the lifeboat. Witness then left for llfra- combe to get the boat, and Sergeant Pike left with him. He got to the boat-house jtt&e :11 time to jump into the lifeboat as she wa £ being jaunohed off the oMTiagt. On reaching tlhe spot, the man was taken into the lifeboat, and conveyed to the Old Pier Head. He could no! Boa-y. whether he was dead, but after his arrival at llfracombe, he was taken into the Pier Hotel. and the doctors pro- nounced life extinct.—William Cole, the hon. secretary to tfhe Ilfraoombe and' Morthoa branch of the Royal aNtianal Lifeboat In- gtitution, said1 he herd: about twelve o'clock that there was a man on the beach a.t Lee. About 3.50 in the afternoon, Dr. Toller oame to hie place of business and told1 him that it was quite impossible to get the man over the ckff at Lee, and asked him to send the life- boat. He went at onoe to give directions for the lifeboat to go, and within ten minutes afterwards she was on her way to the spot.— The Coroner having summed' up, the jury re- turned the following verdict:—"We find that the deceased, Barssillai Becker kg, came to he death by exposure and exhaustion after being washed ashore from the schooner LanjaSey, whidh foundered off Ilfracombei. We con- sider that had there been proper appliances taken out and manipulated by competent men, the main's life would have been saved."—The vcjrdict was received with applause.

ISHIPBUIDING CRISIS.
SHIPBUIDING CRISIS. GREAT STRIKE IN PROGRESS AT BELFAST. The Belfast local district committee of the executive council of the Amalgamated En- gineers on Friday notified the masters that their reply was unsatisfactory and 2,000 men would cease work that evening. The Glasgow correspondent of the Press Association says:—The crisis in the shipbuild- ing trade may prove of greater magnitude than was expected. It is now understood that the master engineers on the North-east Coast of England have agreed to federate with the (t la straw and Belfast masters. A lock-out in the districts of the Tyne, Wear, Tees, and Hartlepool may also result, as well as on the Clyde. In view of the dispute, it is stated that there are 72 vessels, of an aggregate ton- nage of 157,150, building at Glasgow, and 33, of an aggregate tonnage of 7?,880, at Greenock. The Press Association Belfast correspondent says —There are in Belfast 19,000 members of the Engineers' Society, but only 700 are employed at the Queen's Island Shipbuilding Yard. The workmen of Messrs. Clarke and Co., Messrs. Coates, and Messrs. Coombe's foundries aire being cleared out, and their cessation from work will in a very short time accentuate the closing of the shipbuilding yards. The feeling of the men is against referring the dispute to arbitration, though efforts are being made in the city by clergymen am' prominent citizens to have the matter compromised. The masters have made no offer to the compromise demanded of 2s., and the fact that the Clyde employers have decided to sin port them strengthens the view enter- tamed that they do not intend to do so. There is ? rumour in the city that, should a strike occur, it has been determined to close the shipyards for a considerable period A SERIOUS COMPLICATION. Another, and serious, complication has occurred in connection with it)-e dispute at Belfast, the moulders having suddenly made a. demand for an increase in wages of M, week. If a satisfactory reply to this demand b& not rwaived by Thursday next the moulders will go on strike on the 18th inst. It appears that the decision of the moulders to ask for an advance was arrived at some time ago, but action was deferred until it had been seen how matters fared with the idngineers.^ ittia number of tflie moulders wl;o are affected by the present action is about 1,000. The de- unand oame upon the masters as a complete surprise on Friday. ATTEMPTS AT SETTLEMENT. A meeting of the Belfast clergymen was- held on Friday, ,hf'n a deputation proceeded tc Queen's Island Works, and had an interview with Mr. Wolff. M.P. The deputation urged a week's armistice with the view to arbitrate. Mr. Wolff hlaving intimated tbiait the matter would receive the favourable consideration of the firm, tht< men's representatives wired to tlie Union headquarters in London foi* authority to postpone tihe strike for a v<e*?k. No reply had been received late at night to the telegram, and it is feared tfaat it is now too late to avert tihe struggle. AN OFFICIAL DENIAL. The Central News Newcastle correspondent states that the statement that the Tyne, Wear, and Tees engineer employers were going to join in the Belfast dispute and lock-out is officially denied at headquarters at Newcastle, and is confirmed by a large employer. -?.
COLLISION AT PENRITH j
COLLISION AT PENRITH The Press Association Carlisle correspon- dent telegraphs: When the slow train which leaves Euston at midnight arrived at Penrith on Friday morning the engine was run for- ward to shunt some carnages, and, having at- tached to the rear of the express for Ayr a hcrse-box, the driver proceeded further south to do more shunting. On returning north- ward again with some vehicles the driver sterns to have presumed that the express had proceeded' to Carlisle. At any rate, he ran into the rear of the express, and the passen- gers were all more or less shaken. Mr. Walter Alexander, of Largs, was badly cut about the face, but was able to resume his journey.

P,OLITICALI ITEMS. The Press Association is assured that there is no foundation for the statement that an early meeting of the Cabinet is in prospect. It is usual for Cabinet meetings for the arrangement of the ensuing sessional programme to commence in November, and there is no intention to depart from this. The announcement, coming side by side with the sugireition that Mr. Goschen and Lord Salisbury had both hurried home in con- sequence of the Armenian difficulty, naturally created some inconvenience and unnecessary alarm.
Echoes of Olden Days.
Echoes of Olden Days. PRINCIPAL RHYS HUNTING THE BOAR. It is not generally known that the Valleys of the Liwchwr and the Aman and tlie southern slopes of the Biack Mountains are classic grounds; but let our readers turn to the Oxford edition of the "Ma/binogion, edited by Professor Rhys and Mr. J. Gwenog- fryn Evans, read there the story of "Kuil- liwoh and Olwen," and they will find that Arthur and his men, and dogs, and horses passed this way some centuries ago on that celebrated hunt after the Twrch Trwyth. On Wednesday Professor Rhys made a tour round the district in order to, if possible, identify some of the local place-names. He was accompanied by the Revs. "Wa-toyn Wyn" and H. Elivet Lewis. Starting from Llanelli by train the party followed the banks of the Liwchwr up io wiiere the Anian hows into it and then followed the latter up the Aman Valley, through Ammanford and Cwm Aman tx> Bryn Aman. From there they were driven by Mr. N. H. Thomas, of Jesus College, Oxford, to Gwys and: Cwmtwrch, passing, on the way, Rhos Aman ( where there are still traces of a pool or lake men- tioned in the "Mabinogi"), Cwmliynfeiii, Gwely Arthur, the stream Egel, and several other places, aliI of which, more or less, re- mind one of the story of KuiLliweh and Olwen." Driving back agaiu they followed the foot of the .Black Mountains for some time, then rising to Glynhir, and thus over the hill to the Liwchwr Valley, bringing the tour to an end at Gwynfn n. On the same evening Professor Rhys delivered a lecture at the Ivorites'-hail, Ammanford, treating more particularly upon these local place- names in the story of "Kulhweh and Olwen." "Watcyn Wyn," who presided, briefly intro- duced the lecturer to the audience—wliich crowded the hall, and was gathered from all parta of the Aman and Mwoiiwr Valleys— as a man whom they had long wanted to see and hear, and to whom, he was sure, they would soon accord the heartiest of welcomes. Professor Rhys introduced the subject of his lecture by briefly indicating the source of the story of ''Kulhwch and Olwen" in the MS. of the Red Book of Hcrgest, at Jesus College, Oxford, the date of which was the fourteenth century. He went on to show how the story of the hunting of the Twrch Trwyth, who held between his ears the treasures—a comb, a razor, and a pair of shears—which Arthur wanted how this story fitted in with the whole plot of the Mabinogi. He then followed the hunt of the Twrch, with his offspring of seven young boars, from Esgeir Oervel, in Irt- 'land, across the Channel, through Pembroke- shire and Carmarthenshire, identifying the place-names as he went on. We then find the hunt in the Llychwr and Aman Valleys, and Professor Rhys narrated the story of what happened in these paits as follows: Two of the boars began by committing terrible ravages among the huntsmen. This brought Arthur and his men on the one side, and the Twrch Trwyth on the other to the rescue. The Twrch, however, soon moved away, leaving the Llychwr, and making eastwards for Mynydd Amanw, or the Mountain of Aman, for Amanw is plenti- fully preserved in the district in the shortened form of Aman. Here one of his boars was kilied, but he is not distinguished by any name, being simply called a "banw," boar. The Twrch was again hard pressed and lost another bear, called "Twrch Llawin." Then a third is killed "Gwys," whereupon Twroh Trwyth went to Dyffryn Amanw, or the Vale of Aman, where he lost a "banw" and a "benwic," s, boar and a "sow." All this evidently takes place in the same district, and Mynydd Amanw was, if not Bryn Aman, probably one of the montains above the River Aman, so that Dyffryn Amanw may have been what is still called the Aman Valley. From the Aman the Twroh and the two remaining bo;ire made their way to Llwch Ewin—"the lake or pool of Ewin:" which is now represented, possibly, by a peat swamp, believed to have been once a pool. It is drained by a stream now called "Rhwin," which, possibly, means 'r Ewin, the Ewin. It falls into Aman at a place called Rhos Aman. The lecturer further followed the hunt to IJlwcn Tawi. which, probably, means some lake or pool drained by a tributary of the River Tawe. At this point the boans separate, and "Grugyn" goes hack to "Din Tywi" (a place somewhere on the River Towy), and is at last killed at Garth Grugyn, which has not yet been com- pletely identified. Meanwhile, the other boar, "Lhvydawe," is hunted to Ystrad Yw, where he is also killed. The Twrdh Trwch Trwyth, now the sole survivor, makes for the Severn, and there, after a furious con- flict in the Severn, Arthur's men succeed in getting hold of tlie treasure, but the Twrok **scapas to Cornwall, and, being chased, went straight into the sea, and was heard of no more. Professor Rhys now returned, and went into further details with regard to the names mentioned. The name of the Twroh Trwyth himself he equated with a name "Ore Tredfch" at the head of an article in Cormao's "Irish Glossary," or, rather, with its eqivalent, "Tore Treith"—the King's Boar." It is evident that one of the objects of the original story-teller was to account for certain place-names. Thus f Grugyn was to account for Garth Grugyn; Gwys for that of tlie River Gwys: "Eehel" for the name oi the stream Egel. &c. For this purpose, also, still greater interest attaches to the swine that are not named, but as "Banw," a young boar, which is twice as "Banw," a young boar, which is twice introduced to account for the name "Amanw." The origin and history of the name Aman was then fully explained, as were also "Gwys" and "Egel"—all being traced to a Goidhelic form. The story then does account for the place-names, and this was not a mere accident, but was originally so designed; "originally," for the last editor of the "Red Book" failed to detect any such design, or he would have given this feature more pro- minence. It was not adequate to say that he may have been ignorant of the geography of the country concerned. It was in part, at least, a difficulty otf language. Most of the names are, probably, Goid'helic. Was the whole tale Goidhelic? If BO, this would explain many difficulties. How did it pass into Brythonic? Was it that wten the people of South Wales lost, the Goidhelic tongue they retained their tales and storifs? At any rate, the who*? cycle of the Mabi- nogion was far removed from the world in whidh the story-teller of mediaeval Wales I lived, a.nd must have appeared very strange to ihim. Traces, indeed, of this .feeling still linger in the Mabinogion., and the whole tiling brincrs back the words of Matthew [Arnold:—"How evidently the mediaeval story-teller is pillaging an antiquity of which he do&s not fully oossess the secret; he is like a peasant building on the site of Hali Oarnasus or Epesns the builds, but what he builds is full of materials, he knows not the history of—stones not (If this building, but of an older architecture, greater cunning, more majesticsi" m ■

FOR FOOTBALLERS ]
FOR FOOTBALLERS ] Gossip About To-day's Games. WHO SHOULD BEIVICTORIOUSI We have an all very fine and large selection of matches to choose from to-day. Cardiff, New- port, Swansea, &c., are all in full swing, and within another week or two we ought really to be able to form some idea as to the relative positions the various clubs ought to occupy at the end of the season. Football form—how often shall I repeat this ?—is deceptive, and until all our principal teams have interplayed there is no knowing what might happen. For example, Newport a week ago simply romped round Barnstaple, whilst the North Devon men were very nearly as good as Cardiff the week before. Paper form, of course, brings out that when Cardiff meets Newport it will be very soft snap for the Usksiders, yet who would be brave or foolish enough to suggest that there is anything like the difference between the teams that these matches would indicate? In days of old, When Gloucester bold 'Gainst Cardiff held the sway, sirs," matches between the two towns used to be looked upon au one of the big game* of the Scumon, but, alack and aIM! Gloucester, from a football point of view. has gone the way of all flesh, a.nd for the last two or three years has been but a very so-so combination. So fa,r as the present season is concerned, they are practically an un- known quantity. They might make things warm for the blue and blaoks, but, like the Scotchman, "I baa ma doots" of their ability to put Cardiff to very much trouble. I know practically nothing about the Gloucester names, and so will not risk anything by prophesying as to their abilities. There will be two changes in the Cardiff team from that which represented the club at Ply- mouth on Saturday iaat. Biggs resumes hie plaoe on the left wing, vice Thomas, whilst Oravos stands down in the forwards to allow W. Phillips to come baok into the pack. Taken all round, they are a sound, fairly cslever fifteen. The trouble, of course, is at three- quarter, where the talent is not, on the whole, up to that average attained by Cardiff m former years. Invariably, it las been the case that Cardiff were exceptionally strong at three- quarter and weak in front. This yesw things seem to be entirely reversed. I do not wish m any way to speak slight- ingly of the Cardiff three-quarterr*, for I con- sider them really smart, oapable men, who may turn out into tip-toppers. The only thing that can be urged against them for the present is that they are young and lack fxperienee. That, however, will come with time. Of course, it has been a great lose to the club Selwyn Biggs' getting laid up, and so the neoessity arises for Elliott to go half baok. Both Nioholls and Huzzey, however, are centres a goodish bit above the common—fairly pleve*- in attack, ar.d with exoellent defence. This was t'hown at Devonport on Saturday lasfc, when both men did remarkably well. Biggs, on the left wing, is the only old 'un ?n the quartette. This season he is playing a sound, steady game. House, on the other wing, is a sprinter of undoubted ability; in addition, he plays remarkably good football, shows gooc. defencc. and kicks wel]. I think that is a.bout all there is to be Raid about the composition of the Cardiff team, for all the others are experienced a.nd tried men in their positions. Taking Gloucester on trust from last year's form, I should think Cardiff ought to win to-day by a couple of goals and a couple of tries to, perhaps, one try. ?- I should say that Moseley will give Xew- Dort a very good game to-day on the Uskside enclosure. It ffillllOt for a moment e11t81' our calculations that the Midlanders will get the uoper hand, because, from the way in which Newjporii opened its season a week ago, the team, fraken collectively, seems to be playing aui'te to ita best traditions, and that, we miist ail confess, is saying a lot. There is only one change in the Newport fifteen from that which let tho Barnstaple boys drop 30 heavily last Saturday. J. see that Wallace Watts is not included in the lict orf forwards, and Pook, who was unable to turn up to time against the Devonians, makes up the eighth scrimma/ger. I hear a rumour that Wallace Watte is about to leave Newport, but so far there is no a.utho- ritative atatement upon which football par- tisane can place much reliance. It is to be hoped that Bert Gould has not permanently lost his dexterity as a centre three-quarter. So far, however, since his return from the Indies he has not been brilliant. Still, a man ought not to bo condemned on one or even two exhibi- tions. He may to-day come off as be used to do in the old days. Whether, however, Bert gets back to his old form or not, the Newport oommittee would not make a mistake in occa- sionally playing other three-quarters as reserve men. James's business engagements at Abergavenny are more pressing now than they wore hitherto, but his heart is still in the game, and. i.t7 would be well if he, occasionally at tu>y rate, joined the Newport rear division. He has all the inclination. W. Needs, of the second team, might also b. given an occa- sional. trial with the premiers. His capabili- ties seem to fully warrant a riee when a vacancy cocuro. In trying to foreshadow the result we have to remember that Moseley defeated Manchester last week, at Manchester, by two tries co nil. As I stated a.t the outset, however, I do not for & moment anticipate tbcu- even holding their own with Newport, and I shall prophesy that the Usksiders defeat them by a matter of fifteen or twenty points. In all probability, the Nea.th te&m thai meet* Penarth will be s, fairly representative onfc to- day. Generally the first match ov tbe season between Neath and Penarth haIJ been plaved on the ground of the latter, and has ^esuiteb. in favour of the home team. The black brigade are going strong just now, vide the match against Swansea on Saturday lact, a.nd it Is hoped and believed at Neath thn's the visitors will be defeated, scd by a substantia.?, eco^e. At the time of writing it is feared thai Aleo Cross will be unable to turn out, because of hh4* injury to his eye, but ii is understood tbs-i Johnny Williams will again don the iew~y. The pack will bo the swne &s that which did duty against the all whites, and if the Penarth eight cam hold their own a-gainst them they must be 9, pmarfc lot. In the p>v«wv!; of the home club's putting a representative team into the field, I predict a victory 'or them by about fhe points. Those old rivals, Llanelly and Swansea, are to cross swords five times during the season, and the first encounter will be decided! at Stradey this afternoon. Extraordinary interest is centred in the match, and there is expected, to be a record gate. When Llanelly meets Swansea then comes the tug of war, and this afternoon's tussle is certain to be an excritiner thinjy. Both teams are in strict training, and will take the field as fit as the proverbial fiddles. !The faot that the two teams are on the moci friendly terms does not, lessen the rivalry oae whit, and every nerve will be strained on either side to secure victory. Time was when matches between the scarlets and the all whites used to raise the worst passions of tie players, and discreditable scenes were frequent. Happily, however, that time is now passed, and. let to- | day's game be ever so keen, the players will not lose their tempers nor adopt unspcrteman- like taofcios. 1- With one exception, the home team will be identical with that which lias already done so admirably this season. Dai Morgan, the brilliant half back, is now well again, and will brilliant half back, is now well again, and will tooauiae jhis place au the-fringeHe has been Riving his knee a rest during the last three weeks, and, barring any accident, he will give a good account of himself to-day. It was a.t one time thought that Badger would turn out for this grate fite," but an interesting family event which comes off to-day will keep him out of the red jersey for yet another week. Luckily for Llanelly, they can regard the absence of the international with tolerable equanimity, for Every is an «uix>ti- tute. It is no easy thing to adfcq»iat:iy Ml the place of a man like Badger, but Every has more than realised the expectations of his numerous a<iiiiirei'u, and. is now fit to taiie ;t plaoe m any third line. On paper form, Llanelly ought certainly to win, but one has to be very cha-ry in taking account of this, especially where Llanelly and Swansea are concerned. It is a well-known faot that the scarlets never do well against the all whites, but you must not a-k why thu, is so. The all whites rarely tail to rise to the occasion against Llanelly, and no doubt they will wage a fairly even fight to-day. Yet one cannot help coming to the conclusion that the "boys" ought to win, a.nd I shall be surprised if they don't. The home team will be iiede up as ioIiowB: — Back, Morgan Wii-llia-ate; three-quarters. Cliff Bowen (captain)- Fvan Lloyd, Will Daviec, and Every; half-backs, Ben Davies and 1). Morgan; íorwank" V/. Morris, Jack Evans, Ben Jenkins, Ben James, D. Tiiomac, W. J. Thomas, P. J. Davies. and Jack Jones. typridd will meet- Ferndale on the grouuu of the latter,' and the fact that the lads lrom the upper part ot the iihouada r ach drew witk Llwynypia last Saturday adds additional interest to the game. Local eiers anticipa/be just a slight victory, but one thino- is certain: Pontypridd will have a hard nut to orack, for the Ferndalians are a strong lot this season. I am sorry to say that Jim M'Gregor, who played a clinking tra-me behind the pack durinir the recent matches, has been somewhat severely injured, in consequence of whidh he will not be able to play for some time. His absence should not, however, make the difference between winning and losing, and 1 expect Pontypridd to render a good account of themselves by a twelve or fifteen points vic- tory over their opponents. Penygraig and Aberavon should prove a rather tight fit. Neither team has been play- ing exactly up to the mark this year, and I should say there cannot be much between them. In suggesting a victory for Penygraig 1 am influenced mainly by the advantage the home team always holds by playing on their own around, an advantage that is generally worth a try, and by about this score I should say Penygraig will defeat Aberavon. Just a word about the Cardiff Association team. They play Swindon to-day, this being their first league match away from home. The Wiltshire men are a fairly sound combination, but I have received good accounts of the Car- diffians, and shall be rather surprised if they do not hold their own against their opponents of to-day. Apropos, I have not received the fixture lists of any South Wales Association teams, and I take this opportunity of asking them to send them in. Efforts are now being made in Llanelly to get up an Association team. There are seve- ral good Socket met in the town who would from the nucleus of a likely team, but there is absolutely no publio interest in the game- Just now the exponents of the Rugby style are going great, guns, and all the public sympathy ns monopolized by them. This, however, eight not to discourage the Association men from gpiug forward, and 1 am hoping that they will form themselves into a club very soou. Two seasons ago there was rather a strong Socker team in the town. It is true that several men who played then have now left the town. Still, others have come in, and I happen to know half a dozen fellows in the tow.n who would be a credit to any team in South Wales. The racing season closed at Llanelly on Tuesday with the 25 mile championship, which, hs mv readers know, was a bit of a fiasco. The weather, too, was simply vile, and made racing almost impossible. I am afraid that the pro- prietors of the Half-way Grounds have not made very much money on the season. But. of course, tin* track is new and not known just yet. It :s certain that the more it is known the better it will be liked, for it has been admirably laid and is quite a model of its kind. The gymnasium in connection with the Llanelly Football Club is a great success. The room bus now been fitted up with the latest appliances, and is the .nightly resort of a. large number of players. Apart from its advantages as a developer of muscles and sinews, the "gym." has also its social side, which is at the bottom of not a little of the success now attend- ing the Llanelly team. I am sorry to see sport so dead as it is in Swansea. Cricket wa« again poorly supported this eeason there was only one athletic meeting, and that of a mediocre nature for a benefit, and football looks 011 the wane. The baths have given rise to the cultivation of swimming among the youths there, but it really appears that the up-county youths can "take it out of them" in tliis branch of sport as well. At the baths on Thursday night there was a gala for the benefit of genial Professor Morris. The Swansea polo team had managed to snaiteh a win at Penarth, but, lo and behold! the posi- tion was reversed when the Swanseaites got their "chests upon their native water." (Im- piovised alteration!) One would have thought that a big town like Swansea would be able to hold its own against Penarth, but it appears they were chiefly defending their goal, and that Penarth had hard lines in not scoring more tha,n Sketch's goa.l. I should really like to see Swansea wake up a little in sporting matters; that is why I an. going on at ttiis nto r My Swansea correspondent writes:—The! prospects of Swansea against Llanelly to-day are considered by local footballers to be lees rosy than any time I remember for some years past. 8 The Llanellyites always put their best leg forward to jump on Swansea, and they are going like lions just now, whilst Swansea could not be going much worse than the,- are. The ] three-quarter line is to undergo further altera- j tions and repairs. Ghejrwidden anl Gordon are gone, F. Crocker hae had to follow, and the committee have chosen this Llanelly engagement 1 as one on which to experiment. ITie new man, « Griffiths, has been seen on the ground a good J bit this week, and has produced a very fair im- ( pression. The other three of the quartette are ] to be Thorogood, Messer, and W. Crocker. On paper they look scraggy enough, heaven knows Let us hope they are more in harmony than we give them credit for. Swansea can < generally tackle Llanelly to advantage, as shown by the fact that for years the tin-platers have not registered a win against them. This reign of terror is, may-be, at an end. j t The success of the Pontypridd team so far ( has considerably raised the expectations of the) 1 local football fraternity, who hope by all that is—well, whatever you like—that the boys will "keep it up" (that is, their form). Hopes are widely expressed that the team, after the long run of defeats they have experienced during J recent seasons, will gradually but surely regain the creditable, position they once held among Welsh clubs, but to bring this about the players must remember that -.t can only be done by 3 continuous and systematic training, and by im- 1 proviiiff themselves ;n all oepartments of foot- i ball science. 1 So ;a.[' the players have responded heartily and willingly to the commands of the commit- tee and their popular young skipper in this direction, and turn up well on training nights. I Jack Morgan, the captain, has turned out a < veritable "surprise packet," and the dash and 1 the vigour which he throws into his pla.y are be- j coming quite contagious amongst his fellow- players. Now, with au excellent committee and watchful secretary, a dashing young skipper, and a band of players who are distinctly im- ( proving, it is possible, and devoutly wished for, < that they will lower the colours of other teams ( who in the past simply danced and trampled f upon them. The KhondcHu, Merthyr, and Aberdare l' Valleys Rugby Football League will no longer Ix> li.fffln by that name, for at Wednesdav mght's meeting it was decided to christen it t as the "Glamorgan County League." The ( Welsh Rugby Union is to be askVd to admit i th1 Jea-gue into membership. -< t The league matches this year are arousing c much exciitemCnt locally, but just at present it is centred upon the long-delayed match whiicjh is to be played at Pontypriddf om the 31st of October between Llwynypiai and Moun- tain Ash for the league cup and medals, '(1wrJ winning team will have fifteen gold medals, atldj the losers silver ones. It will be recollected that the (teams played for the oup) alt the end of last season, and it-hat the game was then declared a draw, a goal and a try being scored by either side. The Mountain Ash mvejn, however, claimed another try, which the referee, Mr. Arthur Gould, disallowed-he-noe the dispute. The matter wta-s evenitually referredj. to the Rngbv Union., who declared the game a draw, and that it should be agaiin plaj^d. There will I doubtless be a big gaAe, of which the teams J will have a third eadh, whilst fthe other third £ will go to the coffers of the league. 11 # 0 Th:t6 Pontypridd Thursday ftetam are spin- s ning along fairly well, and on Thursday they beat the Llwynypia men, the Thursday cham- J pions of the Rhondda, by two points. I A chess an<i dm«*rht dl1h, which has its il headquarters a.t the." Washington Hotel, has f3 been stlxrtcd at Porfch, Mteettiitrigs are held on Tuesday ajid Thursday niglitts, and the captain is Mr. David, Saunders, and the secre- tary Mr. James Bowien. Pontypridd, too, has a similar club, a.nd has amongst its members some very excellent players. On November 7 Ja. ma)toh between teams representing 'the Ladies' Football Association Club will be played at Nealth. Some nice young men are hoping that the teams will be several "men" short. That the ladlies have (a, decided liking for the theatre is proved in a communiotMhion to the secretary, which asks that tlip members of the team may be admitted "free" to the local theatre. Well, there's a selection,—Mr. Noak's, Mr. Johnston's, and the Assembly-rooms. Lady Florence Dixie is the president of the club. Neath people will be glad to learn that Jim Keynolds and Griffith Lewis have decided to continue playing this season. If all the men fctick together and train a pack as strong as any in South Wales will be put into the field. Johnny Williams will turn out again to-day, but there's a doubt about Alec Cross. In the event of the latter being unable to play, it will be r. difficult matter to find a suitable substi- tute. Cross deserves the highest praise for the plucky manner ir which he stuck to his guns last Saturday, after sustaining a severe injury to one of his eyes early in the game. A wag placed the following notice in a promi- nent position in & public-house of refreshment the other evening. Wanted, a good wing three-quarter.

To use the words of an official of the Neath Club Fred Hutchins was the best forward 011 the field on Satin day last," Neath people have a high opinion of then' pack, and state that if the present standard of excellence be maintained some of the forwards will have to be recognised by the Welsh Union this season. I am asked to announce that- a meeting will be held at the Avondale Hotel, Docks, Cardiff, on Friday evening next, at eight o'clock, for the purpose of forming a harriers' club. Sid Wil- liams is acting as captain pro tem., and asks me to invite all harriers in that district to put in an appearance. The Llanelly scribes have worked themselves up into 9. terrible state of virtuous indignation over the Cardiff-Llanellv fixture. One writer, however, lets his verbosity exceed his discreion, as witness the following foolishnft.s :—"The blue and black brigade have for the last few seasons refused to have anything to do with the Neath team, hut now, in oider to avoid the western clubs howling at them at the same time, they have given a home and home fixture to Neath, and have, therefore, by this act of kindness, en- deavoured to enlist their syimpathiec. Pei- haps next season they will cancel their usual fixtures with the all whites, and offer the milk- sop to Llanelly. Whether this is to be tolerated will have to be decided at the coming meeting." According to the above statement Cardiff will not in future be allowed to make their engage- ments without consulting the Welsh Iiugby lhion. Verb. nap. Another Llanelly scribe says they don't really want to play the match, only they are deter, mined to force the matter through, and then, when the Union say (?) Cardiff must play Llanelly, the tin-platers, like the aggrieved schoollxrv, will turn round and say. "Thanks, but we don't want to play now. Can one ima- gine anything more 'diotic. than such vapid outpcxirings ? WELSH ATTHLETE.

T U R F TALK.
T U R F TALK. Pithy Pars for Sporting Readers GOSSIP OF TO-DAY'S EVENTS. ? Laodamia. is the latest scratching for the Cambridgeshire. Le Justicier, engaged in the Cambridgeshire, and Le Sagittaire left Chantilly on Wednesday last, under the charge of T. Prime, for New- market. Mowbray an dLady Lucy II. have been stiuck out of the Pheasant Handicap, Lingfield. Tanderagee is admirably suited by the yield- ing state of the ground, and will now put in some strong work for the Cambridgeshire. lie is considerably the superior of his stable com- panion, Oatlan.de, who, however, is still on the easy list, and must not be thought of. Galiana is trained by Peace, at Lajn bourne, though nominated by Mr. Leopold de Roths- child, and if all the parties were agreeable, says "Sporting Luck," there would be a nice little chance here to make assurance doubly sure" by having a. second teat spin, borrowing Medicis and Hartleur n., of Hayhoe's, nomi- nated by Baron de Rothschild, to complete the quartette. A good judge, who has seen and admired Count Schomberg in loth his recent races, refuses in to to to believe that a mare like li-aiiana can be better than the hue, long, strid- ing' horse who ran so well on Saturday and ednesday with half an orthodox preparation. Craliana's public form has been mostly of the disappointing order, ana she has only been out once c-his season—in the Coronation Stakes at Ascot-, being unplaced in a held of eleven to iJuttertiy, Uai ter ijueen, and La Sageese—truly a" wretched a trio ot three- year old nilies as have been seen out in our classic races for years. It is certain that Austria will challenge for supremacy ;n the Gamuridgesliire, theu' cham- pion Oemg lokic 11., who was well backed in own on rrtGay at 100 to 7. Tokio 11. is the property of Mr. Wahrnian, who is also the owner of Cuttlestone. Tokio 11. is a pure bred Hungarian eoit., the redoubtable .fcancsem being his graimaain, aud in Austro-Hungarian sport- ing circles he is consider ea the woiiuer 01 the world as a racehorse. Tokio won tht Austrian Derby last May in a canter, and gossip relates that on his arriving in this country arrange- ments will be made lor a match with Sir Visto, and mention is made of UZO,000 as the amount of the stake. The Au^t-nane and Hungarians are "gone" on their pet lor the Cambridgeshire, and in that part of the world the colt has been backed, down from 55 to 1 to "sixes, ami the tatter price is cheerfully taken. The Hun- garian brovernment offered £ 15,000 for Tokio, I out it was refused, THe ooit.s trainer, Milne, who is all Englishman, does not join in the general ecstacies as to the colt's cliance for the Cambridgeshire, but Tokio 11. is on the way, and the arrival of such an equine marvel is awaited v/itii bated' breath.

COUNTY COURTS. ADMINISTRATION ORDER. Charles Prosser, underground labourer, 27, Edward-street, Treharis, applied, through Mr. W. W. Meredith, for an administration order, his liabilities being scheduled at L25 8s. 6d., which he offered to pay in full at the rate of 10s. per month. The application was granted upon the terms stated. IN TEKPijEADER ACTION. Abraham. Lloyd, collier, Troedyrliiwfuwch, sought to recover the sum of £20, being the value of two breeding cows, alleged to have been wrongfully seized under an execution levied against the effects of his father-in-law, John Evans, by Alfred Phillips, grocer, of Pont.lottyn. Mr. R. H. Spencer, Tredegar, appeared for the claimant, and Mr. W. Beddoe for the execution creditor. The reason why the sows were areecsed at so high a price was stated to be that after the execution one had a litter of eisrht pigs and the other a litter of ten.—The learned judge came to the conclusion that one sow was the bona, fide property of the claimant, and he placed the value at JB5. for which amoent iie gave judgment in the claimant's favour, the costs of the high-bailiff being allowed.
