THE FATAL MERTHYR FIRE CORONER COMMENDS RESCUER'S BRAVERY. Mr. R. J. Ehys held an inquest at the ^8-lbot Inn, Penydarren, Merthyr, on Friday, touching the death of Stanley Bees, a child, °Qe year and nine months old, who lost his life in the fire at 14, Plantation-street, Peny- darren, on the previous evening. Mary Elizabeth Rees, the mother, stated that she went out of the house at about twenty minutes to five o'clock to do some buei- leaving the child, Stanley, in a high chair and Trevor, another son, aged 3j years. laying in the kitchen. The fire was very low at the time, and there was a guard in front it, on which some napkins were laid to ~ry. She returned in. about five minutes and tound the kitche^i on fire. Trevor told her that the fire broke out through a coal drop- nLllg inside the fender. Evidenee was given by John Jones, of 3, plantation-street, of his attempted rescue of the boy. The Coroner: You have dooae a very plucky thing. Jones: A gentleman asked me if you would Recommend me for a medal or something. The Coroner: As to that, I think the Greatest satisfaction is in knowing that you have done your best. That is better than any medal or anything else of the sort. At salme time you did a very plucky thing In going into the house in the way you did, if I can recommend you for anything I shall have very great pleasure in doing it. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death from suffocation and burns." Mr. John Jones has made a previous attempt to save life. About twelve Months ago a fire broke out at a house 1n Dowlais, and Jones gallantly brought out ft man who was alive when rescued, but who died some hours afterwards. For this action he was complimented by the coroner (Mr. R. IT. Rhys). who stated that he considered him Worthy of recognition by the Royal Humane Society. However, nothing was done in the Matter. It is to be hoped that this time some teoognition will be obtained for Jones.

SWANSEA COUJnT-COURT JUDGE GWILYM WILLIAMS AND FISHY TRANSACTIONS. At Swansea County-court on Monday Messrs. O. and T. Eden, Port Talbot, were judgment creditors respecting £38 lis. 9d. for building materials supplied to Messrs. Navies, Price, Rees, and Jones, painters, Swansea. Debtors offered 10s. a month. It Was stated that two of the defendants had since the judgment given bills of sale on their property.—His Honour said the pay- ment away of money obtained under these bills of sale to other creditors was very fishy, aQd made a fresh order of C5 a month. In the case of Rosser v. Jenkins the claim Was for zel-one year's rent of a. small, field said to be included in the Penflergaer Estate. Plaintiff claimed as the son of the late game- keeper to Sir John Llewelyn, but the case for the defence was that the ownership of the land was vested in Sir John Llewelyn. —The Judge gave judgment for the plaintiff. His Honour made a somewhat important Pronouncement having reference to judg- ment creditors. These creditors, speaking from h.is general experience, when judgment summonses were brought into court were often unable to prove means, and .caused unnecessary trouble and expense. No sucii summons would be issued in future before I the judgment creditor was in a position to Drove means at the time the summons was applied for.

THE STORY OF SATURDAY'S HISTORIC GAME RE-TOLD. NEW ZEALANDERS DEFEATED AFTER 27 SUCCESSIVE VICTORIES. [By "FORWARD."] Saturday was, indeed, a day to bo remem- bered. The fascination of football in its fullest development was seen on the Cardiff Arms Park, and there is no exaggeration of fact in the statement that such scenes as those wit- nessed on the classic battleground of Oaer- dydd have never been equalled within tne borders of the United Kingdom in connection with Rugby football. Other international matches have been, played on the famous enclosure, but they j pale into the in ignificance of ordinary ciub events in comparison with the historic I struggle of Saturday. As early as twelve o ciock mid-day the stands were so densely packed that it seemed quite impossible for a hun-, dred people more to find room, and one could: not help sympathising with the thousands of people who were outside the gates struggling valiantly to gain admission. It was an intensely anxious time for the Welsh IJnion officials in the matter of adopting effective measures to deal with the huge mass, the like measures to deal with the huge mass, the like of which has never been seen in Cardiff before. At half-past twelve, two hows be^e the kick-off, the packed mass on the shilling stamds were swaying dangerousiy, and one could not help recollections of the Ibrox Park disaster. It was most fortunate that the Welsh Union authorities had the foresight and wisdom to provide entirely new stands at the beginning of the season. To have trusted to the old ones would have been tantamount to an invitation to a calamity Police officers were present in large numbers, and were doing their utmost to keep the people quiet, and to prevent the swayings which threatened so much danger every moment. The crowd was good-tempered enough and showed ready eagerness to join with the band in the rendering Of popular muslc' EARLY ARRIVALS. Among the early arrivals were many of the Among the early arrivals were many of the old warriors of other days, and old inter- nationals gathered together in little groups, J and fought their battles over again. <-»

The football atmosphere of Cardiff did not seem t.o a<-ree with them, and they frankly admitted that they had not breathed any- thing like it in any other part of the king- dom Still, this loss of confidence did not reduce their determination to wm. They coold not have chosen more ideal conditions for what they regarded as the ^tiffest and greatest battle of their tour.

Gallaher putting the ball in. middle of winter. There was scarcely a breath of wind, and the light was perfect. Hanpily, there was not a single change in the ivelsh team, and every man reported himself thoroughly fit, and not only were I they fit, but determined to do or die" on this occasion. Indeed, I cannot remember another international match which the Welshmen had been so keen on winning as this one, and there has certainly I never been a game into which they entered with" more perfect physical condition. Of course, the same remark applies with equal force to the All Blacks, whose fitness has been the most important factor in their remarkable series of triumphs in the three countries. HIGH AND LOW PRESENT. All classes were represented in the vast throng which surrounded the playing enOiOsure, and this universality of reprasentatioE WM «Ti.. eloquent testi- mony of the democracy and -C^SIIvQ- politanism of sport. A special seat covered with green baize had been reserved for Mr. Justice Lawrence and his party near the press-box, and heaven only kn.ows how many and what other dis- tinguished personages were dotted here and there. The enthusiastic Celts of the Rhondda and the other mining valleys of Wales poured into Cardiff in thousands throughout the whole morning, and crowded excursion trains steamed into the Great Wes- tern Station from all parts of England. Some hundreds of Welshmen and English- men travelled down from London, while many scores, if not hundreds, had come all the way from Scotland and Ireland. So i many pressmen have never been seen on the Cardiff Arms Park before. They came from everywhere to represent all kinds of news. pa-pers and magazines. The ffra/nd etaod presented a pretty picture, hundreds of ladies who occupied seats having taken full advantage of the fine day to don their multi-coloured garments and look as smart as possible. As the people came rushing in in big batches one won- dered where room was going to be found for all. The most excellent arrangements had been made by the Welsh Union officials, and nothing is so certain as that the New' Zealand ers, in common with our own countrymen who were privileged to witness the match, will carry away lasting memories of an occasion unique in its every aspect. FORTY THOUSAND SINGERS. As the day wore on the crowd seemed to improve in temper, and they sa.nk merrily and wit-h great gusto "The Boys of the Old Brigade" as the band struck up that popular, swinging chorus. This was varied with "Ton y Botel," "Lead, Kindly Light," and the far-removed "Blue Bell." Beneath this outward merriment, however, there ran an under-current of intense suppressed excitement, and it was a time now when the prospects of the match were discussed with bated breath. "What do you think of our chances?" I asked Mr. Tom Williams as he passed the press-box. They'll think our fellows have wings," he replied, and this meant a.nother gleam of hope that our men would do the trick. It is ba.rely possible to give anything like a correct estimate of the crowd, but at 1.30 there must have been 40,000 people present. The inevitable small dog elicited a cheer as he romped across the ground, and Superin- tendent Geen for once realised, to his dis- may, that he was the cynosure of 80,000 eyes as he made a fire-brigade gallop across the playing p-itdl. Head-constable McKenzie had his hands full, but his officers were doing their work admirably, and so far there was no immi- nent "danger of any serious accidents. In one pa.rt of the shilling stand, however, crowds swayed in a manner which was not pleasant to witness. The silver fern of New Zealand was f sported by a large number of ladies, as well as by the "mere man," and seats had been reserved for the Colonial party near that of Mr. Justice Lawrence. Dr. Macnamara, M.P., in his astrachan-collared overcoat, made an early appearance. The Hon. Pember Reeves, the Agent-General for New Zealand, who intended being present, was detained in Lon- don by a. private function. Patriotic fervour was awakened by the playing of The Men of Harlech." THE JUDGE AND THE LORD MAYOR. Mr. Justice Lawrence came in with Mr. Walter Rees. He smoked a cigarette, and wore a cap. ITo looked all (w-r a ¡;;D.()rls, man, and chatted gaily with Mr. D. W. Evans, the old Welsh international, lie was grCt wct with "Ar hyd y nos" ("All thro' the night" from the band. A few minutes later the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress were escorted to their seats and were warmly cheered as they walked along the touch line. For a wonder, there was no one on the trees, but four adventurous youths climbed up to the top of the scoring-board. "Captain Mor- gan's War March" was the next item on the musical programme. At two o'clock the spectacle as one took a glance round the ground was an inspiring one—every inch of available space being occupied. The demon camera man came into prominence and photographed the crowd behind the goal-posts, while they waved hats • and handkerchiefs. This ought to make a pretty picture. At two o'clock the grand stand was packed, and it now seemed quite impossible for any more people to be admitted. One of the late arrivals of the New Zealand party was Mr. C. Palliser, the repre- sont,a,tive in En,gland of the New Zealand Rugby Union. About twenty minutes before the time for beginning a thick mist hung over the ground and dimmed the light. There was no threat of rain, however. There being no changes in either team, the following players took the field:- WALES. 22.ck "h. B.

THE GAME. HOUR AND A HALF OF PAINFUL TENSION. Gallaher led the All Blacks into the enolo- sure, and Gwyn Nicholls followed with the Welshmen in his rear. There was a mighty cheer as the players trotted into the held, and the bandsmen quickly made their exit. The Colonials gave utterance to their war- cry, and the Welsh players looked on with > amusement. The Welshmen followed with tlhe ohqrus of "Hen \Vlad fy N-hadau," led! by Willie Llewtliyn, and, the crowd joining in. produced an immense volume of sound I as the players took their positions. The Welshmen played from the river end, and three minutes before time Hodges placed the; ball for the kick-off. He sent the ball into the hands of M'Gregor, who found touch near the centre with bis replv. From the first line-out the New Zealanders had the ball, and kicked to Gabe, who ran round to the left and found touch, From. the first scrimmage the bail came out to the New Zealand half, who passed to Hunter, but his pass to Wallace went wrong, and a scrum was formed in the centre. Gallaher was penalised for off-side, and Winfteld, taking the kick, punted high, and Dears was collared before be could replv on the visitors' side of the centre linq. From the next scrum the New Zealanders got the ball again, and Roberts kicked into touch at the centre. Gallaher was caught a,t one of his tricks in putting the ball into the eorum and was penalised.

Here another scrum was formed, and to the delight of the crowd it was heeled out to Owen, who passed to Bush and he to Nicholls, who tried to break through and passed to Llewellyn, but the ball was thrown forward and a scrum followed inside the New Zeaianders' 25. Again the ball came out to Owen, who passed to Pritchard, and the Pontypool man kicked high over the line. Gillett touched down. Joseph failed to field the bail from the kick-out, Itud put in a flying kick. The ball touched D. Jones, who was standing off-side, and a free wae given to New Zea- land. Wallace kicked down to Winfteld, who found touch in the centre with his reply. From the scrum in the centre the New Zea- ianders heeled out with wonderful smartness, and Roberts kicked down to I\ichoils, who made his mark, and sent the ball back to Wallace, who kicked down to Dicky Owen, and trie latter was tackled in his own 25 with the ball in his possession. From the next scrum Owen secured, and paased to Bnh, who found touch near the Colonial 25 with a kick. Tremendous pace was being set by both sides. One of the visit-, ing forwards was caught off-side, and a penalty was given, from which Winfield found touch. From a desperate scrum at the centre ov.-all passed out to Cliff Pritchard, who kicked to touch near the Colonials' line. The ball was again sont out by the New Zealand forwards, and Deans kicked down to Winfield in mid-field, and the Welsh back replied with a grand kick to touch well over the centre line. Another kick by Winfield from a free for off-side sent the ball to M'Gregor, who failed to bold and Joseph dashing up looked like dribbling over, but Deans covered his man cleverly, and found touch with a smart kick at the centre. Owen secured from the next scrum, and passed on the blind side to Bush. who broke away grandly, but was pushed into touch on the New Zealand Z5 line. Wales so far had ha-d ID0.3.t of the play, the ball coming out to Owen. The Swansea midget kicked into touch at right angles when he might have gained more ground. The Welsh forwards ran over their opponents in a loose scrimmage, Hard- ing and D. Jones leading. The ball was sent down from a loose rush to Bush, who I NEW ZEALAND. Top Eow-J W. STEAD,.C.

'Die kick gained some ground für t-li-c Colonials, who now worked their way into the Welsh 25. Scrimmaging here, the Welsh forwards heeled out, and Owen kicked across over WaUace's head, and Gabe, following up obtained possession, but lost the ball just as he was getting dangerous. Nioholls returned the ball into touch near the press-box, and a series of scrums was formed there The Welsh backs, started by Owen, went off with a bout of passing, but found the New Zealand tackling too keen. The Welsh forward., however, made up for this by breaking away and reaching the centre, where Nicholls turned the ball into touch again. The New Zealand forwards next got away with a dangerous rush. but Teddy Morgan fielded smartly- and kicked to touch at the coutre. Bush was nest prominent with a brilliant break awav on the blind side. but Teddy Morgan go- in front of him and was not able to take hit? pf- p. The Welsh- men were aggres-ive for a few minutes, and Bush, receiving from Owen, tried to drop a goal. The ball fell short, and Wallace made a mark ten yards from his own line. He kicked down to T"ddy Morgan, who found touch on the New Zealand 25. Roberts secured j in a scramble, and forced his way through the We'sh forwards and kicked into touch over the centre. From the line-out the ball was pT!SP'! t" O-ihp pud 1,(, 1hr»v to N;chmi.«. who found touch with a well-judged kick on the New Zealand 25 line, hardmg securing in the line-out kicked hisrh, and UeweHyn, getting the ball, had a- clear run in, but lost it, as it went curling round hir back. The Welsh backs now made a determined attack on the New Zealand line, and the excitement was ainroly intense The Colonials were out-, played &t this period, if the Welsh could only keep up the pace. At last their reward came. Dicky Owen, with a clever manoeuvre, feinted t6 pass out on the blind side, but threw to Pritchard on the inside, and he passed to Gabe, and the Llanelly man, running grandly, passed to Teddy Morgan, who took the baU at full run, and bounded over the line amid a scene which was perfectly indes-crib- I able. Winfield failed with the kick from an extremely awkward angle. Wallace kicked out, and the ball going into touch, was sent back to be kicked out again, and this time Bash replied with a kick to Hunter, who found touch at the centre. The New Zea- land forwards heeled out from the next I scrum, a.nd Deans kicked down to Winfield, who sent back to touch at centre with a long kick. The Now Zealand backs obta;ining pos- session tried passing, but Nicholls tackled Deans grandly before he could pass, and Hodgeis following up kicked to Gillett, who sent to touch out of danger. The New Zealan- ders now went off with a bang, and with short sharp passing on the blind side threatened danger. Wales bad to defend for some time, and a round of passing by the All Blacks-! was only spoiled by Mynott knockiTig OtH. Hard scrimmaging was the order of the day for some mmutes on the Welsh side of the centre Line, but eventually it came out to the New Zealand backs, but Pritchard, dasih- ing up, interc-aptcd and kicked into touch in the New Zealand quarter. This was a relief to the Welshmen, who had b --n given a warm time on the defence. Owen secured from the next scrum and pac.sed to Bush, who, however, failed to hold, and another scrum was formed. Owen was knocked out in a melee, and the New Zeaianders were hooted as the little man lay on the ground. It was a relief to see Owen getting up again, but he was evidently in great pain, and while he was recovering the referee spoke to the New Zealand men. The game was resumed, and the ball came out to 'he New Zealand backs, whose passing as-ain broke down. Then Percy Bush broke away on the blind side, but his pass to Morgan w?nt wrong, when that player had a grand chance to go over. The New Zealanders now Winfield fields the ball in his best style. I had a footing in the Welsh quarter, and looked like crossing the line every moment. Roberts receiving from his forwards kicked across to the Welsh line, but Llewellyn fielded admirably, and kicked into touch at the centre. The New Zeaianders immediately afterwards made a rush to the Welsh line, and the ball going into touch ten yards from the Welsh goal line, half- time was called. ) Half-time score: G. T. P'ts. WALES O 1 3 NEW ZEALAND O O 0 SECOND HALF. I Wales crossed over with the advantage of a try, and this might have been more substan- tial, but for the misfortune of a few pas;es from Bush to Morgan going wrong. Everv- thing now depended on which side would last the pace better. Glasgow kicked off for the New Zeaianders, and Nicholls returned into touch on his own side of the centre line. From the first scrum the Now Zealand forwards broke away, but Charlie Pritchard picked up the ball and dashed through until he reached mid-field. A I loovse kick sent the ball up to Gwyn Nicholls, who fielded it on the hop and kicked into touch over the centre. A ecruin was formed here, and Roberts receiving from his forwards broke through cleverly and punted into touch on the Welshmen's 25. play was now becom- ing desperate among the forwards, and it was remarkably even as between the two sevens. From a long throw out from touch Gabe secured, and kicked down to Gillett. who failed to hold, and the ball rolled again into touch on the Colonial side of the centre line. D. Jones secured from the throw out, but put the ball tamely into the hands of Roberts, who found touch! with advantage to his side. A splendid rush by the Welsh forwards neutralised this how- ever, the ball being dribbled into the New Zealand 25. The forwards practically mono- 4E!, polised the play, the ball Geldom coming out clean from the scrum. For off-side play by New Zealand a free was given to the Welshmen, and Winfield found touch on his opponents' 25 line. The next free kick was given to New Zealand, but Winfield returned with advantage with a huge punt. Wales was now on the aggressive, but the defence of the Colonials was wonderfully sound. Seeling fouled Owen, and was cautioned by the referee. A fine rush by the Welsh forwards took play back again to the New Zealand 25, and Ga.be. [picking no, ran splendidly, and passed to A. F. Harding, ".hORe pass v,ns thrown forward, and Owen kicking over the line, the second minor was conceded to Wales. From the kick out Llewellyn returned to Hunter, who ran up the fipfd, 'las-.sed to his forwards, vrho, however, failed to take the ball at the centre. Roberts obtaining from the next scrum kicked to Teddy Morgan, who ran down the ground at top speed and kicked to touch inside the New ZaaJaudere'l 25. Play came back to the centre. A mag- nificient run by Wallace took play to the Welsh line, and Hunter, receiving from Wallace, looked like going over in the corner, but he was held up a yard outside, where a scrum was formed, and the excitement was now more intense than ever. The Colonials were determined to score, and made repeated onslaughts on the Welsh line until A. F. Harding came to the rescue of his side by fielding smartly and kicking to Gillett, who could only find touch with a short kick at the centre. Wales had warded off the danger for the moment. The ball was kicked up to Llewellyn by Wallace, and he carried it over his line and touched down when he might have kicked, with the result that a scrum was formed five yards out, a.nd the Welsh lrine waa again in danger. Deftepmined work by the Welsh forwards once ag-ajn staved off the danger, and Owen, showing rare judgment, kicked into touch well over his! own 25 line. O'Sullivan was knocked out, but only for a moment. The New Zeaianders attacked again on the resumption of play, and seemed likely to soore at any moment, j Brilliant play by Bush in dodging three or four men was loudly applauded. Wallace receiving from a flying kick by one of the Welsh forwards, punted up to Winfield, who kicked to touch near the centre. The Welshmen now had a footing in the New Zealand 25, but the forwards were unable to serve the backs as they would like to do, and very few chanoes i consequently ca.me their way. The Colonial backs, on the other hand. were having the ball continually. but the tackling of the Welsh backs vvas something to be remem- bered. Owen, receiving from his forwards! for once, passea out to Pritchard, who tiirew to Nicholls, who kicked over the line, and another minor was conceded. From the kick out Bush had a shot for goaJ, the ball falling short by only a few yards. With only ten minutes for play a, perfect fever of excitement spread over the huge crowd, and a painful anxiety, lest Wales should lose her le,a,d. Bush was injured, and had to go to the touch-line to be attended to. He resumed after a couple of m'nutes' stoppage. Plav was waged in mid-field, the forwards doing m-cst o! the work. G:Lett nut in a fine kick, which found touch on the Welsh 25. This was really his good kick so far. For off-side pla.y by Gallaher Wales had a free kick, and Winfield found touch with another beauty. Breaking up the --rums quickly the New Zealand forwards tried all they knew to open out the game tried all they knew to open out the game tor their backs. The Colonials were again penalised for an irregularity on Gallaher's />art in putting the bail in the scrum. The New Zeaianders, however, kent up the pres- -nre, and there v, as no certainty now that they would not pull the match out of the fire at the last moment. A dangerous bout. of passing by the All Blacks took play to the Welsh line, but the last pass was a forward one. and a e-rutn was ordered ten yards out. Magnificent play by Nicholls. who picked up and then broke through. removed the danger, the Welsh captain finding touch vith a long kick in the New Zealand 25. They came again, however, and rushed plav to t.he centre, where Winfeld s^^fd splendidly by throwing himself on the ball. Harding. showing brilliant opportunism, dribbled down lo the New Zeaianders' 25. The Welsh forwards were playing like heroes, and little Own was backing them up brilliantly. Fine kicking by Winfield gained ales an immense advantage, but, although they were pressing, the New Zeaianders ^ere still determined on drawing level, if not win- ning T>q,tch. Wth r>la,v ruling very c*eTi in mid-field, and with a grand kick to touch by Teddy Morgan, the f^re&test game ever played oil the Park ended in a brilliant vic- tory for Wales. Final score: G.
