IMONDA Y, AUGUST 19, 1895.
MONDA Y, AUGUST 19, 1895. NOTES & COMMENTS Swansea Parish Church is to ho re-built and Canon Smith and his co-adjutors, who '■avc charged themselves with the heavy I responsibility of providing tho funds, can commence the work as soon as thay lilro Tins 13, 111 effect, the result of the decision ot the Chancellor of the Diocese, to whom appeal has been made. It is d.ffi jult for those who are not experts to understand, or, at least, to appreciate the position taken up by Colonel Morgan and those who kwe scerned, to some extent, to oppose the ry-bu'.idmg scheme; but it may be saiely asserted that a great deal of justification can be set forth for their action. The words of the Chancellor on the matter throw light on it, "The gr.mtnig permission to remove old and interesting features to which associa- tion and sentiment attached was not a pleasant task, but when considerations of ove 1-balancing advantages occurred it would not be always right to allow aiclutoiogicai sentiment to prevail. In the report and subsidiary statement of the architect for the now church the case was stated so clearly that scruples seemed out of place. It must be borna in wÜd how many line churches aud cathedrals we owed to the fact that our predecessors <1 snmsed all sernples as to i)»iin)i; Uowu where they desired to build. or, by enlargement, make churches better adapted for the requirements of Divine worship. He had come to the conclusion 'I that, in order to build a mother church worthy of Swansea, and for the better accommodation, conveiaonce, and comfort 0 ^ie P^nshioners in accordance with their wishes, it would be a more fitting I memorial to Bishop Gower to build an enlaiged and harmonious successor to what remained of his church than to carry out any less satisfactory scheme." It will be seen that the question involved was one bbtween reverence for the past and the requirements of the future. Having regard to the undoubtedly great future that there is for the rejuvenated Welsh Church, general agreement will be felt with the Chancellor's decision, while both parties to the controversy have 1 also reason to be satisfied. Colonel) Morgan and the Vivian family j have by their action, secured ecclesiastical recognition of the desirability of carefully preserving antiquarian treasures and Canon Smith and the churchwardens get all for which they asked. The sympathetic Chancellor grants two years instead of fifteen months for the completion of the main body of the edifice, and has inserted in the faculty a clause which will greatly extend the freedom with which hereafter the vicar and the churchwardens may approach the question of a new chancel. As to the financial outlook there is what amounts to certainty that the scheme will not be frustrated or delayed on that score. Already £ 10,000 of the £14,000 required for the nave and aisles has been subscribed, and Sir John Llewelyn and the energetic vicar have given guarantees which the consistory court proceedings demanded respecting the balance, the former becoming answerable for £3,500, and the latter for JELOOO. By and bye, however, will come up the less urgent but equally desirable project of adding a. chancel to the new structure, for which another £ 10,000 will be required. It is said that nothing succeeds like success and it may possible be found to be so in this case. The townfolk. who have not been behindhand in providing funds up to ths present, when they see a handsome church arise upon the ruins of tho old, may with gratitude be moved still more liberally and support Canon Smith in his next brilliant undertaking. The intrusion, as some term it, of women into the various branches of industry and commerce goes on apace, and arouses all sorts of ill-mannered objections and criticism. Gallantry is not proof against selfishness. But the latest craze-the female bicyclist's attempt to copy her brothers' attire and achieve- ments—has called forth the keenest criticism. In France she has suffered the indignity of being locked up for masquera- ding in men's clothing; while in America a great D.D., the Rev. Mr. Hawthorne, has launched a diatribe at her head, the vigor of which would be hard to beat. The doctor is reported as having from his pulpit denounced her thus She (the bicycle woman) says that it was the love of exciting pleasure that tempted her to take the false step. She is mistaken. It was not the love of pleasure but a personal devil. Satan entered into her that he might degrade and get her picture into the columns of some sen- sational paper, and make her the subject of obscene comment in every club-house and gathering of filthy sensationally. What next? Forty years ago we began with female stump speakers. This has been followed by woman preachers, women I lecturers, women lawyers, women doctors, women legislators, women pugilists, and women bicyclists, and it may be asked what next? If something is not done to stop this satanic contagion the world will soon not be worth the saving!"

Bancroft and Guvler nowied unchanged through the innings, Ban- erott taking six wickets lor fourteen runs, and Guyler two for ir.no. There wasn't a single batsman in the L-ianelly team on Saturday at Cardiff who, in tne first innings, got into double figures! •true, m the second innings some of "them scored well, but then it was too late Sergeant Holloway has always had the scored well, but then it was too late Sergeant Holloway has always had the reputation of being a vigorous hitter, but on Saturday he surpassed himself, his innings for the Swansea seconds of 76, being tke result of some wonderfully hard driving.

CYCLING.
CYCLING. Little Michael seems to be getting his hands full, lor another match has °been arranged for him. Tuis time it is for 50 km., with pace-makers, his adversary to be Barden. It is to come olf on August 25th, at the Paris Buffalo track. Cycling is rather in its infancy in Bulgaria, owing to the poor roads, but now the reigning pnnce has learned cycling, and has provided himself with no less than three machines (of English, French, and German make;, it is hoped that matters will improve. A correspondent writes in the Cyclist :—1 have lately had a short tour in South Pem- brokeshire. Cycling at Tenby is exceedingly popular among the fair sex. Mr. Georgo Ace, the ex-champion of Wales, has one of the best cycling businesses in Wales, situate in this watering place. There are ninety- seven lady rulers in Tenbv, and double that numberin the county. During this season Mr, Tom Ace has taught one hundred and three ladies how to ride. Surely this is a record. The tl Sports Depot have a large stock of all the best makes of machines. Most of the local gentry are ardent cyelists, whilst the officers of the Gallant 41*t Regi- ment" all cycle. The pastime is more popular in Tenby than any other part ol Wales. From a racing point of view, how- ever, the district ia exceedingly backward. A Cardiff correspondent of thecyelist says: Local cyclists are making merry over a little incident which took place a day or so ago. MiehaeJ, the Welsh professional, promised he would wire from London or Paris whether ho could ride in the Horticultural professional sports or not. A wire came as follows to one of the principal hotels in Cardiff Due at ten to-night, reserve room.—Michael." A big commotion ensued, a cabinet meeting of the sports oiiicials took place, a deputation consisting of some of Cardiff leading residents, including a J.P. and two councillors, was appointed to meet the train. The train arrived, but the expecLcd hero was non est. The deputation sadly returned to their colleagues. "Spoofed, by Heaven I shrieked one member,and verily the remainder thought so, but on enquiry and reference to the visitor's book it was discovered that the sender of the wire had duly arrived—and was in the hotel—but he turned out lo be a big city merchant of this name, down on business.

HEIDELBURG ESTATES AND EXPLORATION…
HEIDELBURG ESTATES AND EXPLORATION COMPANY. It looks as if the Heidelburg ditstrict will speedily outstrip that of Johannesburg in its gold production. Many well-known properties are already making a great record in the district, but the imminent opening up of the country by tho Natal Railway, which passes through it, will inevitably give a fresh and extended impulse to its mining industries, both of gold and coal. ilccently a very powerful London and Paris group took up some valuable properties in the district now held by the Heidelburg Gold Mires, Limited, (capital £ 5C0,CC0), of which Mr. Emiie Rothschild, of Paris, is the deputy chairman, and it is said that their Houtpoort property is one of great prospec- tive value. Wo now learn that another London syndi- cate has been formed under the title of the Heidelburg Estates and Exploration Com- pany (Limited), which has acquired the right to develop and deal with an adjoining property called the "Eosehoek" into which ali the iodos of the fleideibut-g Cold Mining Company run. The Banket lodes on the Boschoek Estates (Heidelburg Estates and Exploration Com- pany), which comprises over 9,000 acres, are estimated to contain millions of tons of Banket rock, and three experts have reported upon the property for the Heidelbure Estates upon the property for the Heidelbure Estates Companv, and all agree that it is one of enormous capacity and very great prospective value. The estate is four miles from Heidelburg, and 24 from Johannesburg, and it is said the now railway will pass along it. Amongst the three engineers who have inspected the pro- perty for the purchasers is Mr. Sawyer, late her Majesty's inspector of Mines, who reports that ail the well-known W'itwatersand Banket formations occur in the property, and that the labilities for working the reefs are exceptionally great (Mr. Davy, another of the experts, reports sufficient water to work 300 head of stamps all the year round), with abundanco of coal in the neighbourhood. Coring operations are now being vigorously carried on by the Heidelburg Estates and Exploration Company on the Banket reefs already largely opened up, so ns to place their nulling vaitio beyond a doubt, before dispos- ing of the valuable lights they have acquired on this property. Although this Boschoek Estate eeeros to be one of such considerable magnitude :md importance, this is not the only o.Te to which the Heidelburg Estates Company are devoting their attention. 'Xhoy have started boring at an atljoiuing estate of 2,0(0 acres on well- defined and valuable reals, and have also acquired the right to do the same with another estate in the same district also comprising over aCOO acres. Altogether the Heidelburg Estates and Exploration Company appear to have ac- quired rights over very valuable areas in the best gold-producing regions in South Africa, and as there are good and tried tneu connec- Led with the Company, we lhinl, it will com- mand a great future, more especially as wo understand that the Company is capitalized at the very moderate amount of £100,000, 3489

r TIlEPOST BAG. A local schoolboy the other day asked bi. teacher if the whale spouted to bail himself out. Sir John Lleweiyu, M.F., is expected to return to Swansea on Wednesday or Thurs- day next. A Rlmndda visitor on Saturday, wanted to know OF a police-officer" Where is the big water iiere please, in somewhere ?" A fashion journal says: "Waistcoats of paper are promised for summer wear." W. suppose they will be wilde of waist paper. M'Gurgler was never particularly humble, but he now says he has good grounds for looking down upon the rest of the world. He lives on the summit of the Graig. Professor Herkomer has forwarded to Hwfa MOD, the archdruid of Wales, the original drawing of the archdruid which he made at the Llanelly National Eisteddfod. Heard in Wind-street on Saturday". hello what are you doing in Swansea ? Oh, I'm on my honeymoon." "But where's the wife ? Oh she has stayed at home to look after the house." Saturday was record day on the Mumbles Railway, as nearly all the excursionists, of which there were thousands in Swansea, took advantage of the opportunity of a peep at Langlaud and Bracelet. A writer in a Welsh magazine states that every spot in Wales is beautiful, Evidently he has never visited Dowlais, Landore, or Morriston, which the Mail compares to some of Dant<§ s visions gone astray, Why are you so silent ?" was asked a girl at St. Thomas by one of the company. Oh I don't speak, but I take it all in," she replied, at which her little sister struck in And how do you do when you are full ?'' On Saturday afternoon two cricket matches were played at St. Helen's Ground. It if more than three years since two matches were played there simultaneously. There was as good a gate as has been seen this season. Among the operas to be played by Mr. Hadmoot's Company in London, of which our townsman, Mr. Reginald Brophy, is a mem- ber, are Carmen," The Daughter of the Regiment." "Faust," "Caralleria Rusticana," and "I Pagliacci." A native of the Rhondda was travelling with a tourist's ticket on Saturdayi At Swansea he examined it closely, and then said quietly, Well, the Tories have played some dirty tricks during the recent election, but this is the worse. Here am I a true Liberal having to take a Torres' ticket." The iconoclastic performance which is to come off at the Swansea Market recalls to mind the lines that appeared in this column 12 months ago In the Market-square of Swansea Stands the clocktower old and browm! Fellow burgesses," shouts Morgan, Pull the bally ruin down! A conjuror performing near Swansea did the old trick of producing eggs from a hand- kerchief. Whilst he was doing it he observed to a little boy that his motner could cot get eggs without hen?. "Oh, yes she can," replied the youngster, we keep ducks." The laughter that ensued-was followed by a silence so deep that you could hear the sound of the gaii burning. This is a description of the ladv cyclist s She's like the lily 01 the tteld, As fair and free from sins. And yet there is one difference- She toils not, but she spins. The belis of the old church of St. Peter's, Carmarthen, were silent yesterday for the first time for many years. The church is being renovated, and the greatest pre- cautions have been taken to keep the old colours of the 23rd and the monuments frosn being injured. Thousands of trippers from the hills come into Swansea now by the lihondda Railway- It isn't everyone who speaks Welshily who considers himself a Shoni though, for on Saturday a man was heard saying to his wife: "Du, Mari, there's diaprud lot of Shonnis by there!" pointing down Wind- street. The wife of a well-known Morriston Liberal claims that she has managed to put a stop to her husband's atLondance at a Swansea club nightiy, and says she now gets his company every evening. Before retiring one night she lit a fire in the parlour, placed two chairs in front of it, and then held a match to a. cigar until an odour of smoke pervaded the apartment. Another verse which has struck the atten- tion of our poet is the following:- Ùearest summer mail!t>n, I would say The nicest way to woo This season is to swilllg ? 11 day In a hammock built lor two. I A medical student whose home is at Mcr- riston, but who is now studying at one of the London hospitals, is responsible for a smart answer to one of the questions put by a pro- fessor there. If you were called into a ease wiiero a man had fallen head foremost down a fifty-foot mining shaft, what would you advise ?" The response came quickly Advise his friends to fill up the hole and save funeral expenses." One of the new women—a young lady- arrayed in kickerbockers, an ulster coat reaching down to her heels, stand-up collar, eye-glass, and a knowing little felt hat with- out any feathers or trimming-esconced herself in the ladies' waiting-room at the High-street Station yesterday to await the train. She was standing in tho most ap- proved Joimny style, resting on her stick behind in the most approved fashion, when » short-sighted, eminently respectable Swansea ladv came up to her and said "I don't know if you are aware of it, sir, but this is the ladies' waiting-room." Everybody seems satisfied at the result of the search for a qualified headmaster for the new Swansea Intermediate and Technical Education School, Dr. G. S. Turpin's name having been received with unanimous approval. It may therefore not be out of place to recall the fact that it was the late Lord Swansea and Councillor R. S. Lindlev, who formed the deputation to whom the committee entrusted the duty of finding a gentleman qualified to act as prin- cipal, and who induced Dr. T'urpin to quit IIuddersfield for Swansea: There is no doubt that in Dr. Turpin we have secured one of the leading educationists of thedav. There is a very pretty little quarrel going on between Alderman Chapman and Cotin- cillor James Jones of Swansea, sa/s the jlfràl, as to who shall represent the Alexandra Ward after rr-xt November.
