Our Short Story. ELECTION OF SHERIFF CAL. "If something don't happen I'm a goner," mused the sheriff as he dealt the cards. "It ain t no use of me tryin' to win out against him. He's got t?he county right where he wants it. He's got Tex and Shorty on that mortgage, and every Greaser in Yavapai County will vot for him 'cause he's got a saddle-coloured woman. It ain't a very cheer- ful prospect for me—wonder if I hadn t better pull my freight right now. Sheriff Cal Thair liked his job and did hate to give it up. But he knew when he was beaten, and he knew just what a catastrophe it meant to him just then. "Why haven't i got a little money? If I could get Tex and Shorty out of that mort- gage business they'd pull for me. They know be clinched Lhem in that cow business, and they hate him like a 'Paehe hates the dark. Whereupon sheriff Thair cursed himself so roundly that he broke a pair of jacks to draw to a Hush, and did not find out tiiat one of I his spades was a. club until he drew another: jack, as is the wont of men WHO have reveries during a poker game. He had played .? 11 night with half his mind on the cards and the other haa on his pros- pects. Thinking didn t do any good, so he snarled and swore aloud this time, taking his luck for a scapegoat, and cashed ii. j "Cal knows he's done up," said the next dialer, when the Sheriff had gone. "Guess he does, and it's tough on him. Old Trujillo won t let him have Uarlotta f he ain't elected, and that's enough to make any poor man sore." and the game went on. Cal was sore enough. The prospective loss of his office was bad enough, but when that meant the loss of a rich young wile it was unbearable, and there was more ill-luck be- sides. In the lint place it costs money to run for sheriff, and Cal didn't have any. His ill fortune at monte and faro had taken a great part, of the big money that was in the sheriff s office. Then beef went down to ten dollars and he couldn't make anything out 0.: his interest ;n the Anchor J. ranch. Altogether Cal was down on his luck. He wanted the office; he wanted Cariotta. more, in spite of his sneer at the saddle coloured woman of his rival. Worse than d.-I, his books were not straight. He meant when he took the county's money j to pay it all back out of his fees, but if luc £ iadn't been so Against him he would nave done it. "But how was I to knew that old Bowfii:»n would take II; into his head to run for Shentf thought Cal. It was not that the young incumber vas unpopular that iiis defeat seem eer ai>i. Pretty much everybody liked Cal Thair, but against him was a sU idler citizen, one with more money, more forethought, and a man who bad a stronger rope on the influential tes of Yavapai Lounty than iihe riata, of mere friendshi; ..Weu, if something doesn't happen pretty n," said Cal to mmseLf for the hundredth time, "I'll travel." Something happened. Just about dusk one evening, as the hill stage swung around the sharp turn into Sna&e Creek, ther caine out of the gloom the not unusual greeting: "Throw out the box!" In accordance with the ethics and customs of the road, the driver pciled up. The atfair was none of his this difficulty came into the department of the shotgun messenger, who let go both barrels into the murky brush and then pitched over headlong between the wheel horses. tlea.tl from the return tire. "Pitch out the box!" Out went the box. "Now git!" The driver whipped up his horses. It was next morning when Sheriff Cal was awakened by the courier who brought the news. Presently the body of the messenger arrived. Sheriff Cal was at. the head of a pcsse by daybreak. and far on toward the scene of the attack 'O{t the stage. So hard did he ride and so fiercely did he follow the trail that the whole country was filled with admiration. "A chap that'll leave his fight where Cal left his to go 1 untixr a stage robbsr is got stuff in him." said "Buck" Meadows during the few minutes ievoted to conversation be- fore the game started hi the evening. "Buck" was the faro dealer, and from motives of policy was not in the habit of expressing an opinion on matter political. Consequently, when he did speak, his opinion had weight. Meanwhile, from the mountains reports of the sheriff s long rides and tremendous exer- tions generally contirued to come in. "Cal aiways did play his last chip like he had a million behind 'em," said "Buck" Meadows. Soon the town was swarming with detec- lives the express company's reward placards were posted in every saloon. There was a! vast amount in she treasure box. and the rewards were correspondingiy large. "If CaXd only get that chap he'd be fixedi for this election, his friends said; but timt>! went by and Cal and his worn out men re- Jirrned empty handed. | Of clues there were no lack. An axe lay beside the treasure box, the prints of a horse's hoof under a pine a little way in the brush i pawed that the robber had provided means of escapa. Riit 90 one remembered seeing such an axe, I a.nd the tracks corresponded to no horse as fax as the posse could determine. So Cal and nis posse came back without their man, leaving the field to the amateurs, who, tempted by the reward, still searched for the robber, and more particularly for the plunder, which tie must have concealed some- where. Cal Thair's luck seemed to have changed. The good words spoken for him when he left his campaign to do his duty did him some good. Presently all Yavapal County was as- tounded to hear tha:. Tex and Shorty had come out for Thair; and when the rival can- aidate came down upon them with his mort- gage they petrified him by paying oil. The announcement following soon after, of the prospective iiiarriege of the Sheriff and the wealthy daughter of old Trujillo offset the influence .f the saddle-coloured woman of his rivaL So when Happy Jack heard late one night a horse gallop past his place, he could hardly wait until morning tQ examine the tracks. When he saw them tie felt the fever all the stronger-the fore-feet, unshod, the off-hind feet track showing the head of a nail too large to be driven home. The old mountaineer had seen that track before—in the tail timber when somebody had a horse picketed the night tthe stage was robbed. The rancher knew what his information was worth. While Happy Jack was pondering over his discovery and how to make it most valuable to himself a horseman came into sight. Jack recognised Sheriff Cal and hurried to meet him with the news. "You're just the man I wanted to see," he shouted as Cal reined up. "I see He stopped. The roadway was new and soft, and Cal's horse left a clear imprint. The old man's eye had caught a depression in the footprint, a mere dimple in the dust, such as would be made by the head of a nail not driven quite home. The old man was not a fool. "I just wanted to ask you if you heard anything new about the fellow that killed Jim?" "Some of the fellows saw a stranger up the valley, and just went to look him up, replied the sheriff. "He's only a prospector come up from the Verde. He just come in by my place yesterday." That was all. Sheriff Cal resumed his jo-uxpey. The old man followed his track until he lost it among the rocks. Then Happy Jack came to town. He .eriff Cal with a crowd of the boys laying a big greenback on the bar and inviting all hands to drink with him. The Sheriff was resuming his interrupted campaign. Happy Jack knew there were more thousands in that treasure box when it was thrown from the stage than there were hundreds offered as a reward for me apprehension of the robber, and Happy Jack had turned detective for revenue, not for glory. He got back into the hills and went to frsturing. it was two o'clock in the morning when ne heard the horse gallop past his door. It was half an hour after daybreak when Sheriff Cal passed, going in the oppo- site direction. If the Sheriff had passed in the night and returned he could not have gone far, for the tracks went off the road and on the rocky, cactus grown slopes. Two miles an hour was quick travelling. With this index of his pro- bable destination the old rancher started out. Sheriff Cal had seen Jack in town, had ) caught his look of intelligence as the green- back fell upon the bar, and so it came that Sheriff Cal also made a trip to the mountains. He knew where he was going, so the old ranchers start did not count for much. Sheriff Cal stopped at the rancher s house. It was as he had guessed; Jack was gone. Then he did some examining of the dusty road himself and tnen hurried on. People down :hat way are not done yet talking cf the brilliant detective work done oy Cal Tua:r (luring his first term as Sheriff on the Hill stage robbery. He worked up me ca;se entirely c ione, they say, and actually found the robber, an old rancher who was known as Happy Jack, in the very act of digging up the contents of the treasure box, which he had buried in a lonesome gulch deep in the mountains. They had a desperate fight there, Cars admirers relate, and the Sheriff had to kill the robber. Sheriff Cal, like all good officers, is reticent about his methods, aid will not tell how he fo-und out that Jack was the robber. They sav chat because (f the glory he gained from this bit of work Cal Thair was re-elected by a tremendous majority, and soon after he married one of the greatest heiresses in Yava- pai County. -——.

A WOMAN'S CHARACTER ASSAILED. A TILT AT THE REPORTERS. I Before the Swansea magistrates on Monday a case was htard in which Mrs. Mary Owens, 21, Bridge-street, summoned Bridget Rowan for damaging household goods to the value of £1 12s. When the case was ed. the defendant produced a pink newspaper cutting relating to a easra heard last week, and handing it to the assistant clerk, remarked. "Thf.Y call me a prostitute but it's not true. I am a respec- table married woman." Mr. Jenkin Jones You had better see one of those gentlemen down there. (Reporters from four paners were present.) "Yes," said the lady, "it's one of them that's trying to take my character away." Mr. Jones (consolingly) Well, you ask them to alter it, and they'll do it for you. The defendant (fiercely) You need not laugh it's you who did it (indicating the in- nocent "Post" representative). "Yes, he's a deuce of a fellow, that one," said Mr. Viner Leeder, who, ever delighting in fun, wanted to keep the pot a-boiling, "Here you are, and mind you alter it," said Mrs. Rowan, handing the cutting over. It shouil be stated in explanation thar, the complainant was not described as a pros- titute in the "Post." As regards the damage to the household goods, Mis. Rowan was ordered to pay the value.

ODDFELLOWS, M U. LLANELLY DISTRICT AND INSOLVENT I LODGES. A meeting of the Llanelly District of Odd- fellows was held on Saturday at the Athenamm Hall. presided over by P.G.M. John Harris. Out of 32 replies from lodges on the valuers' recommendation and the Valuation Committee's scheme for bringing the district to a position of solvency, 23 were in favour of the adoption of the scheme, and the remainder were against any charge being made. On behalf of their own goud financial positions it was claimed that they ought not to be put on a level with those lodges which might in five or six years' time be on the verge of bankruptcy, liro. Tom Hughes, J.P., Grand Master of the Order, urged the acceptance' of the valuation scheme by all the iodges, as in his opinion It was the one most likely to be approved by the directors, who were ever ready to help those lodges that practised self- help. The universal adoption cf the scheme would settle the financial stability of the linity for all time. (Applause). It was added that the deficiency of the Llanelly District was estimated as being LSO,OCO. In proof that the Cnity would assist weak lodges it was mentioned that at the last A.M.C. the Ii directors took over a large number of members and made them Unity members, thus giving out a sum of ibout 212,000. A prolonged discussion ensued, and it was arranged that the Grand Master of the Order and the Dis- l trict Officers should attend the meetings of four opposing lodges and try to prevail upon them to join the majority. The C.S. was chosen to appear before the board of directors to answer any questions that should happen to be put: The following nominations were put in for the next quarterly meeting: — Prov. G.M., Bro. Fjcton Prov. D.U.M., Theophiius iCandell, William Jenkins, Joseph I! Howell, John Davis, Richard Williams, and David Watkins. There were numerous nomi- nations, for minor cffcea. j

NATIONAL BANK OF WALES ANOTHER CALL OF E2 10s. PER SHARE. An ordgr has been made at the Bankruptcy Court of the vacation registrar directing the liquidator to make a further call of £ 2 10s. per share upon the shareholders of the Bank of Wales. Nothing is known ad to the date when the call will be payable, but it will probably be an early one. It is rumoured that a deficit of about £ 50.000 still remains to be provided unless the decision in the Cory case is varied. It is, therefore, probable that the whole of the uncalled capital will have to be called up sooner or later. Each shareholder is liable for the full amount uncalled on his share's, and the recourse may, in certain events, be had by the liquidator to persons who were holders of shares within twelve months of the commencement of the liquida- tion. When the business of the Bank of Wales was taken over by the Metropolitan Bank the shareholders had paid £10 per share out of a total liability of -LM. Subsequently a call of £ 2 10s. per share was made, and the cali now authorised will make the shares L15 paid, leaving still a liability of 25.

DISORDERLY HOUSE AT SWANSEA. HEAVY FINE IMPOSED. Before the Swansea magistrates on Monday, a girl named Selina Jenkins was charged with keeping a disorderly house at No. 2, Vv elsh Harp-court on September 19. Mr. L. Rich- ards prosecuted for the police. P.C. Umpieby, in evidence, stated that on September 19 he was called to the house in question, and witnessed circumstances which irrefutably stamped the bouse as being used for immoral purposes.—P.C. Hockings cor- roborated. Jenkins attempted to make no defence, but in lieu thereof "cheeked" the Bench, the pro- secuting solicitor, and the police. The case was not without burn our. Miss Florence Chad wide was called for the deience. "Ah," said Mr. Richards, "what are you?" "A fish girl," she replied, with all the assur- ance imaginable, whereat the defendant nearlv split hel-,eii with laughter. So tickled was she that she had to hide her face behind a handkerchief. The Bench: Fined .£10 or a month. Defendant (jauntily) Oh, I'll take the month.

THE "MIDNIGHT SCENE" AT I NEATH. MR. LAW DENIES IT. Sir,-You.r report is entirely wrong. I was not thrashed. My back entrance leads into a bye-lane. The coach house was opet and some men under the influence of drink got in, and, by their appearance, did not know w hther they were on land or sea. I heard a noise from my office, and at once went out. The men in question asked ITIL- the way out. 1 directed them. One of them accidentally missed his foot and fell against the window of the conservatory. I was in no way Mrs. Law, thinking 1 was about to be assaulted, sent for a policeman, and his ap- pearance naturally exited them, they being under the induence of drink, and in fact not responsible for their actions. The lane in question for about a quarter of a miie contains nothing but coach houses and stables, and it is common for sober men even to drop in other places as well as mine, as there are no con- veniences in the district.—\ours, etc., EDMUND LAW.

Fear Davies — Thomas Meats, fishmonger, and Joseph Billingnam, labourer, were each charged with assaulting Owen Power, loiancier and book debt collector, of London- road, Neath, on the night of September 28th. —Mr. A. Russell Thomas appeared for the complainant, and Mr. A. J. Jeffreys defended. —Mr. Thomas said, in opening the ease, that the assault was one of a series of Mr. Jeffreys: I object.—Mr. A. R. Thomas: I am entitled to say what has happened before. I say that this was one of a series of —Mr. Jeffreys Well, I object. If you don't know how to conduct your case Mr. Thomas I shouldn't come to you for it.—The Bench upheld the objection, and Mr. Thomas had to confine himself to the assault in ques- tion. Proceeding, he said that it was time to check this behaviour, for as a u-iatter cf fact tne complaint was threatened with another -;aUIL-Mr. Jeffreys: Are you going to prove that?—Mr. 1 nomas, in wnc-lusion, said me assaidt was a serious one; it was unprovoked and he would ask. tite Bench to not only con- vict, but bind the defendants over to keep the peace. Owen Power said that on Thursday evening last, at about 10.15, he left the Queen s Hotel, where he had been officiating at a Lodge of Buffaloes. He had not gone far before the defendants, accompanied by another man, named Evans, followed him and stopped him. billingha.m said, "Stop, Mr. Bridge." I said, "l am not Mr. Bridge." Then, continued the complainant, Billingham swore at me and struck me a severe blow behind the ear. I turned round, and, seeing Mr. Christopher Charles, I said, "It's hard lines that a fellow can't walk the streets without being attacked like this." Mears asked, "Who did assault you?" I replied, "Not you." He then struck me a violent blow behind the other ear. ]. escaped from them and went to the police- station. Both defendants were the worse for drink Mr. Thomas: Are you afraid of your life? Witness: I am. Here there was laughter in court, which was instantly stopped by the command of the Head-constable. By Mr. Jeffreys: Are you really afraid of the defendants, or Mr. Law? Mr. Thomas: Oh, this is the fir ft time we have heard of Mr. Law, I am not sofry that the name came out. Wallace flutchings, Queen-street, Neath, deposed to seeing Billingham striking Power, but he did not see Mears do anything. John Evans, cab proprietor, said that the firet assault was outside the waterworks offic e. Then Power ran as far as Cheeke's chop, and there stood by Mr. Charles. The three men followed him, and Mears struck him. Mr. A. J. Jeffreyf, for the defence, said that the assault was not premeditated. The men were very drunk, and knew not what they I were about. The defendants were each fined 10s. and ecsts. An advocate's fee was allowed. 1

HOW THE POOR LIVE AT SWANSEA. WAii THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE OVER- DRAWN? As the writer of the original article headed as above (writes our correspondent), I am pre- pared to meet the Rev. W. Watkins Edwards and the gentleman who has taken up the gauntlet on behalf of tha respectable section of the residents of Green hill without any re- strictions whatsoever. With reference to the condition laid down by "A Working Man with a Comfortable Home," I shall allow the Rev. I W. W. Edwards to answer for himself a. to I what he said at the recent friendly society meeting at Warm Wen. At the same time I must re-affirm emphatically that the original article was not overdrawn, and retort that the statement of the self-constituted defender of Greenhill that the debased element is limited to four or five members is nothing short of a perversion of the truth, as the records at the police court any given week will show.

THE TINPLATE TRADE. THE 1874 LIST. RETURNED TO-DAY. A NEW EPOJH FOR THE INDUSTRY. To-day (Monday) the tinplaie industry in South Wales enters upon a new and impor- tant, if not critical, epoch in its history. It sees the establishment of the 1874 list—the maximum wage rate, in the experience of the present, generation, ever paid for the manu- facture of tinplate. The frequency with which tinplaters have during the last quarter of a century fought for the recovery of the list has perhaps been unparalleled in the records of trade disputes. The industry has been one continual turmoil, but no matter how vigorous and persistent the attacks, the masters, strong in the wealth which they had accumulated in prosperous times, were always more than equal to them and this notwith- standing the fact that they had organised labour to deal with. It is not to be denied hat the now defunct TinPlate& Union did many good things lor the workmen. It may ¡ safely be credited with having secured for its I members a good living wage even at the worst of times, but at best its power was limited, and ultimately it shared the fate of all other labour organ"-nations in which the men have lost coiihclence in their leaders. I It is too well-known what vicissitudes and I misfortunes the industry has passed through during recent years; how paralytic have been the effects of American competition on home production, and what poverty the tinplaters have experienced. But things have changed, and industry is now sharing in the period of prosperity general throughout the country. In this, more thftn than any other circum- um- stance, the workmen have found i list; ficit-ioi-t for their recent cianiours for the re-establish- ment of the 1874- list 5 and that. they have been successful is due as much to the reason- able and even conciliatory attitude of the masters as to the fact the men are more I strongly organised than they have ever been before. It is to be regretted that the return of this basis of pay is not accompanied by a state of things in which there are no dispute or mis- j understandings. The industry even now stethes with these unfortunate features, and unless some of them are immediately removed, there's a probability of the apple-caxt being upset, and the trade thrown into state of ooufusion. There If. soaroely a branch of labour in of opinion are entertained concerning condition of labour, and amount of wages- These will have to be settled before the best results of the recent arrangement between the two sides can be seen. The position of the aIlers is parti- cularly acute, and their detel-ulined action on Saturday lost noes not on the face of it suggest an easy solution. I On Tuesday, the adjoined meeting of the Conciliation Board wIll be held at Swansea, w £ en this and the other outstanding ques- tions will come up discussion, and it is to be hoped, for tinal settlement. It is arranged that the^list shall remain in force until the end of March next, pending further arrangements. BURRY. The notices of the Buiry tinhouse men, who are claiming 3d. per box for working at Abep_ (J are claiming 3d. per box for working at Abep_ carne pots, came to an en on Saturday.

Several warrants had been issued for the arrest cf the defendant, who was now sent down to prison for a mouth's hard Uabour.

LLANELLY MARKET. I INCREASE IN THE REVENUE. At a meeting of the Property and Estate Committee of the Borough Council on Mon- day, Mr. Trubshaw presiding, it was reported that the market tolls for the year ending Sept. 29th last amounted to £3,270 18s. ld" the corresponding year to £3.163 Os. 7d., and the pervious year to £3,062 2s. 8M- The net in- come for the last year just ended was £1,816 9s. 0*d. Mr. Gwiiym Evans asked what the average income under the old system, when the market was sub-let to a private contractor. The Clerk replied that £1,500 would be a. fair average. The last year the market was sub-let the net profit was 5s. 9d., but the expenses were heavy that J-ear, and roughly speaking, the profit would be £1.500, After a brief discussion Mr. Gwilym Evpns moved that they should have a comparative statement, showing what the net profits were for the last five years, and also for the pre- vious five years, when the market was sub-let, both as to maintenance and special expenses; also as to revenue. The Olerk was instructed to prepare such a statement by the next meeting of the com mittee.

THE GALE. KETCH STRANDED AT THE MUMBLES. The storm which occurred on the north-east coast on Friday and Saturday broke over South Wales on Sunday with considerable violence, and waø accompanied by heavy downpours of rain. Fortunately, the reports of damage done to life and property in the outlving districts are not of a very serious character. Throughout Sunday a strong north- easterly wind blew, and the ketch Agnes, loaded with a cargo of stones, which was shel- tering at the Mumbles, broke away from her moorings, and was beached on the mud op- posite the George Hotel at Southend, where she now lies half filled with water. It is expected, however, that she will be got off in a tide or two. The captain and the crew of two men were on board. As soon as they found the craft had got away from her anchor they beached her. At times the wind blew over the bay with remarkable force, and the people of Mumbles Head assert that the storm was one of the worst in their recollection. A Porthcawl gentleman, whose son was an engineer on the steamship Pernbr,idge, of Lon- don, bound from Savannah to Hamburg, has I received intimation from the owners of the vessel that they have abandoned all hope of her safety, she being nineteen days overdue.

X' FOOTBALL. DUNVANT v LOUGHOR. The teann from Loughor, who are a strap- ping lot, and are expected to attain premier position in the Llanelly League, journeyed I 011 Saturday to Danvant, to try conclusion with the home team, who, unfortunately, w-re minus several of their heaviest forwards. Iihe home team started operations, and play settled in the centre. After a few tight scrimmages, the home backs were set going and were only stopped a few yard s from the line. From the line-out play was taken back by the visi- tors to their twenty-five. The weight of the visitors here told to their advantage. After some give and take play the home backs, who were all playing a splendid game, went down the field with a grand; bout of passing, and D. J. Hewitt got over with a- very pretty try, which Jenkins had hard lines in not con-I verting. After the kick out, piay went to the home twenty-Sve, the visitors playing hard to get over, out the homesters eventually cleared and again resumed the attack. Half- time swore: Ounvant, 1 try; Loughor, nil. After the start was soou evident, from the "bashing" character of their play, that the visitors were determined to wipe out the home lead, but they failed keep up the pace, and the home team again took up the agressive. Bayliss at three-quarter played a splendid I game for Dunvant, while Lloyd, at forward, and the full-back were the best men on the visiting side, itinal score: Dunvant, 1 try; Lougjhor, nil. Priorton Villa v. Intermediate.—Played on the Intermediate field and ended in a easy win for the Villa by 8 goals to 1; J. Davies (2), p. Morris (2), E. Billings (2), S. Crocker (1), and T. Labbett, goal-keeper (1) scored for the Villa; and Trevor Williams scored for Inter- mediate from a penalty. I Ammanford v. Llanelly Crusaders.—This opening match took place at Ammaniord. The Ammanford (ommittee played several re- cruits, and so well did they show up that they romped out winners by 1 goal I tries 9 minors to nil. ASSOCIATION. BRITON FERRY v. SWANSEA WANDERERS. The first match of the season at Briton Ferry was played' on Saturday afternoon, between Swwisea Wanders ani the Briton Feiry teams. The match was to have been a league one, but as the referee did not turn up a friendly game was played instead. Tiie W wanderers brought up a representative number of men, but the home- sters were not able to put their full number of regular players on the field. The Wan- derers were quickly the aggressors and Smith dribbling down, eluded the goal keeper and scored a goal. Upon restarting, the visitors again showed to advantage, the forwards rushing down and beating the home backs, scored another goal. The Ferryites now I pulled themselves together, and after some loose play Josh llees got hold of the ball from a rush, and putting in a. clever shot, secured a goal for the homesters. The visi- ting forwards played their utmost to try and make matters equal, but Hunter, defending in capital style, kept them out. The home- sters then started the aggressive and Charles, securing the ball, raced down and eluding the halves and backs, scored the second goal for the Ferry, In the second half Briton Ferry pressed 1 ard, and Rees, receiving a pass from the ualve-s, scored a pretty goal, The result of the match was now a foregone conclusion, the Ferryibes having it all their own way, &nd after some good passing, Charles put in another goal. Final score: Briton Ferry, 4 goals; Swansea Wanderers, 2 goals.

There was a good attendance at the Albert Hall on Saturday evening, notwithstanding the inclement weather, when Mr. Albert Chevalier gave a recital, which concluded hili visit to Swansea. He was again most enthusiastically received, as also were the other artistes, especially Mr. Alfred West, I' who contributed a few pianoforte solos of his own composition in a most masterly manner.

I ¡ Athletics and Pastimes FOOTBALL. The local season is making progress, but we stiil await the realisation of something approaching good football. It seems to me we are unlikely to obtain it until Saturday weeik, when the Albions journey from Ply- mouth to be entertained. By that time the Swansea team will have already played four matches—quite sufficient preparation for the more arduous task work on tiie programme. The display of the past fortnight, which has been 80 insufferably indifferent, will ha.ve to have effected great strides if our Devonshire friends a.re to be adequately coped with. It is a, pleasure to know that the display of Saturday afternoon, for instance, was re- garded with anything bat satisfaction by the All Whites themselves. and in wisely viewing the matter in this light, the players wilLpro- bably find the remedy by devoting th- mselvo3 to the business of the training prround with renewed assiduity. The return of Bancroft, Serines and 1; 0 lhomas will infuse better style and spirit into the team. Our forwards will have to do much better in the way of scrummaging, otherwise look out for squalls. The Treher- bert eight were enabled to capture the bait very often, and if the handling of their backs had not been so stale and mechanical in method, the margin between them and Swan- sea, surprisingly small as it was, would have been thinner still. The home halves should brighten up alee, and the centres should handle a trifle unselfishly. Very rare indeed do Trew and Gordon get a pass until they are right on the touch line. When the Welsh Match Com- mittee come to select international backa, de- pend upon it the fact that a player can do vejy well on his own will not be the sole qualification for the job. Hotspur" writes:—The Neath First piled UD a good score on Saturday, but it cannot be said that the opposition was very formid- able. In the first half matters were fairly even, but in the second Neath registered try after try in monotonous succession. The result ia mainly due to the dashing play of the Neath front rank. which promises to he just as strong as in previous years. The Dis- trict eight could not withstand the attack, and those combined rushes, for which the AH Black eight are so famed, were ths means whereby almost every try was 3cored. The Neath halves were woefully weak, and a change in this respect must be made by the committee. Neither Rees nor Beynon is lit far the position. The District pair, Wilcox and Martin. were altogether superior, and had they been playing behind he Neath eight the score against the youngsters must have been much greater. In the absence of Hanford, the Nea.th Com- mittee cannot do better than select these two men. They arc both smart, and, more- over, th zy are absolutely the best material available. While on the subject I would like to draw the serious attention of those in authority to the necessity of their paying a little more attention to the players. They should visit the dressing-room on the day of a match, and take a practical interest in those who are willing to gh c up thei leisure -to the game. On Saturday, for example.ther-s was not a single committee man in evidence. The presence of a couple of them could not have failed to have had a beneficial effect. With regard to the "new blood" available, I would like to add another word or two. But before doing so, it might be in season to remark that the committee apparently rely upon the "press" to find suitable material, for it is obvious that the bulk of those com- posing the management hav3 no idea as to what good men are available. In addition to the two names I have already mentioned, there is a young man named Thomas, an em- rilo-ee of Messrs. Glass and Roberta. He is a well-made, comely youth, and if tie had not in him the making of a, good threequarter then may my opinion ever be wrong The sooner, therefore, that the committee adopt the suggestions la.id down above the better for the club. Now, here is the team I would suggest for next Saturday:—I>a-cik, Joe r>»vies; ,three- quarters, Thomas, Iiarry Jones, J. Williams, and Owen Harris; half-backs, Wilcox and Martin (Hanford if possible); forwards, S. Davies, J. Thomas, Liimard, Moxley, W:, Jones. D. H. Davies, E. Arnold, and Rees Richards. That team would take a good deal of beating, provided the rnon were in good training. Now, the committee must immedi- ately make a change in the direction indi- cated else next Saturday will witness a crushing defeat, and Neath will be the vic- tims. As to the game on Saturday last, it is scarcely worth alluding to. It was pleasantly contested, and was more of a. lark than any- thing else. The one regrettable feature was the accident to young Mansel Griffiths, whose leg was broken. Dr. Thomas was within call; in fact the doctor is a devotee to tHe game. He at once attended to the injured limb, and the poor young fellow was soon conveyed home in a hansom. Inasmuch as Griffiths was virtually assisting the Neath Club, because the District were short, it is to be hoped that the Neath Committee will take the necessary steps to help him. The score of 3 goals, 8 tries, to a goal fairly represents the play, but it must be pointed out that the District eight were so badly beaten that their backs had but very few chances. Ha dmatters been re- versed the District backs would, J. am sure, ha.ve shown to advantage. In connection with the Schools League. tba schools drawn to play their first matches on Saturday arc:— Brynmill v. National. Danygraig v. St. Thomas. Hafod v. Intermediate. Higher Grade v. St. Helen's Pentropoeth v. Terrace-road. Morriston will meet Brynrnill again at the end oi December, and it is probable that they will make a much harder hght than on Satur- day. What's gono wrong with Manellv football and footballers? It W:?.3 telegraphed all over the country on Saturday night that Bridgend nad maue a draw with the Scarlets. Even a leading iignt among footballers wanted to argue thao the field goal for Llanelly and the try for Bridgend constituted a draw. The rule as to scoring i3: 3 points for a penalty goal.5 points for a converted goal, and four points ior any other goal. ,F°°TBALL FIXTURES. _+A„* t^e St. Paul's Church In- &tnut.
