I from the Japets
I from the Japets In the Probate Division on Thursday, the President pronounced for what he described as probably the shortest will on record. The testator was taken ill suddenly and before dying managed only to write on an envelope the words "All for mother," meaning his wife with his initials, to which, his two sons attached their signatures. The estate was worth £ 8,000. By1 this summons which came before Mr. Justice Swinfon Eady on Thursday, the Court was asked to determine whether tba ji widow of the testator, Benjamin Price, took I an estate absolutely or only an estate for P Jife. Under his will the testator left his free- L hold farms, Owmgraig and Brytfgwaen, in E the parish of Llanbadarnfynydd, Radnor, F and Liandinam, in Montgomery to his wife absolutely, but directed that such as she toft f rundisposed of should go to the ohild- l ren of his brother John, as she should ap- I point. His Lordship held that the wife took I an estate for life and as she had died intes- tate, the prop-orty, undisposed of by her went to John's children living at her death in equal shares. At an inquest held at Westminster con- cerning the death of the Rev. William Henry Eley, rector of Deene Wansford, Northamp- tonshire, vho died at a London dentist's ui oer an anaesthetic, Dr Warburton Browne saidhe used a view ansesthetie—ethyl chloride. The jury' found that there was no neglect on the part of the doctor.

MR LLOYD-GEORGE AT WORK. Being unabie to attend the annual canner of the Chamber of Shipping in London oil Friday, Mr Lloyd-George wrote that he would have liked to speak on the new Ship- ping Bill, amongst other; subjects, but the Bill itself would be introduced very shortly- The hoped-for reciprocal arrangement be- tween England and Germanv in coh- L nection with the revision of the present free- P' fooard tables had not Vet been obtained, but he still hoped to secure it. He had come to the conclusion that there was no justifica- tion for a further postponement of the opera- tion of the new rules in this country and revised freeboards would, therefore, come into operation about the middle of next month. It would be found that. while ovr regard had been paid to safety at sea, appre- ciable deduclions of freeboard of all classes of vessels had been made.

I anient 'r'r' THE PARTITION OF BENGAL. In the House of Commons on Monday night Mr J D Rees, the member for the Montgomery Jjorouhs and an ex-Indian administrator, regarding the partition of Bengal as an ac- complished fact, did not think there was any advantage or disadvantage in discuseing it. He admitted th. there was a strong public opinion against the partition, and that the Chamber of Commerce of Calcutta was op- posed to it, though he did not understand that the objections of the Chamber were very strong. On the other hand, it was approved by the planters—a class that deserved well of this country. He believed ilhe precipi- tancy with which the partition was brought about' had exacerbated the natural feeling of the Bengalis. (Hear, hear.) As to the employment of Indians in official departments very much more might be done. Their phil- osophic, calm, and impartial temperament made them admirable judges and he would gladly see them appointed district judges in very large numbers. I::> SEA ENCROACHMENTS. In the House of Commons on Monday night Mr Lloyd-George, in reference to an amend- ment to the address, representing that the serious encoachments of the sea. on our coasts called for the immediate attention of the Gov- ernment, said there was no doubt that coast defence was one of the most. important ques- tions for the consideration of any govern- ment. He considered it was a matter of national interest., because the resources of municipalities did not allow them to cope effectively with encroachments of the sea. He promised an inquiry, into the matters men- tioned, buti when they considered the question on a large scale it resolved itself into one of money. He had been adding up the expendi- ture pressed on the Government during the present session and found that it amounted to fifty millions. The Government, however, had been considering this question and had edcided at an early date to hold an inquiry into this and a hundred subjects, such as Waste lands, and probablv afforestation. (Hear, hear.) There was nothing to be g.r.;in6.11 by over-hasty action, and he thought' that I was all that could be expected of the Govern- ment in its infancy. (Hear, hear.) NORTH WALES COLLEGE. In the House of Commons on Monday night Mr Austen Chamberlain asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he had undertaken too include in the estimates for 1906-7 a sum of R20,000 for the building fund of the Uni- versity College of North Wales, to which fund £ 61,000 had been subscribed locally; ir so. whether any' conditions had been attached to the proposed' grant, and whether he would make provision in the estimates for similar grants to the universities and university col- leges of England in the same proportion to the local subscriptions. The Chancellor of the Exchequer-I have undertaken to ask Parliament to make a grant of L20,000 to the building fund of the College when the money is actually required for the scheme and subject to the condition that a similar sum has first been spent upon it from other sources. No part of this grant will have to be provided in the estimates for 1906-7. Similar grants- have already been: made to the two other Welsh colleges of like character. No such grants have in the past been made to university colleges in England, and as the annual grants to these institu- tions were largely increased—I think IT'osi.. properly increased—by the right hon g! ntle- man when he was Chancellor of the Ex- chequer I am-tfiot, as at present advised, pre- pared to recommend a change of policy. Mr Austin Chamberlain—I do not com- plain of the grants the right hon getntleman has made to Wales, but I shall call attention to the subject on the estimates in order to secure an equivalent grant to English col- leges. HOUSE OF LORDS, Tuesday. The House debated South African affair&. The Earl of Portsmouth pointed out that il- legal punishments had been inflicted upon the Chinese at the gold mines, and Viscount- .Mn- ner admitted that he was wrong m allowing corporal punishment in certain cases. Hie Lord Chancellor said that in our relation:, with South Africa during the last hundred years there had been blunders almost un- exampled in history, but in all the serial therei had never been a greater blunder than the policy of Viscount Milner which led to the War. As to Chinese labour, he seconded Sir H Campbe 11-Bannerman's ::If"cripbon of it with ail his heart. It was a state of senii- slavery. Applied to this country, it woui^ not >bo tolerated for a moment. In South Africa, owing to unfortunate policy of Lord Milner and those associated with him, the paths were strewn with dangers, t-nd all; that the Government oould do was to chose the one in which there were fewest. He asked the peers to hesitate before encourag- ing the idea that the Government were the enemies of their own race and so spreading the poison in South Africa. Earl Robeitt, the Earl of Halsbury, Lord Londonderry, Lord Stanley of Aldefiey, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and the Earl of Crewe also took part in the debate. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Tuesday. The House went into Committee of Supply for the consideration of the supplementary estimates of the Civil Service and Revenue Departments. Mr Asquith moved that Mr. Alfred Emmott take the chair and, the motion being accepted, the member for Oldham became chairman of committees- On a vote for the cost of commissions, several members protested against the expenditure oi the late Government on the redistribution inquiry, the object being described as a purely partisan one. Mr Burns stated that he was unable to give any information about the Committee and its report, but promised to investigate the matter further. A discus- sion arose on the vote of £ 54,600 compensa- tion for the French fishermen who have sur- rende-red their rights on the shore of New- foundland. Mr H. Cox suggested that the colony should pay this money. Sir Edward Grey put it, however, that it was too late to go back upon what had been 4one. At the evening sitting, Sir Charles Dilke called attention to the law relating to truck and moved that, in the opinion of the House, it is necessary to .put an end to fines a?id deductions from wages.
CAMBRIAN RAILWAYS
CAMBRIAN RAILWAYS DIRECTORS URGED TO SELL. The half-yearly meeting of the Cambrian Railways Company was held in London on Tuesday. Mr Baiiey Hawkins, the chairman moved a vote of condolence with the family of their late colleague, Mr A C Humphreys- Owen, M.P., who had been a member of the Board for twenty-eight years,'Jhe last five as chairman. In moving the adoption of the report, the Chairman spoke of the improvement to the permanent way, especially the laying of heavier rails to suit the heavier traffie, effected out of capital account. They had also spent £ 4,148 in improving the working stock and had (built, twenty covered w^jgons. Th' passenger traffic showed a great decrease of £ 4,701. Parcels showed a small increase and merchandise a loss of £ 2,424. Live stock had increased by 2353 and minerals decreased by L444. "Miscellaneous" showed a gain of L777. They had constructed a number of new waggons especially with the VOT of carrying timber. The traffic expenses showed a saving of L986 and general expenses a saving of £ 350. Taken altogether they had been able to save enough in expenditure to make up for the heavy loss of traffic. '1<) Colonel Wood suggested the employment of motor cars and wished to know if the direc- tors were prepared to entertain any proposi- tion for selling the property to a larger and more powerful company. It so, he thought it was a wise step to take. Mr Radoeanachi thought they were suffer- ing from the want of adequate service. If the directors would sell at a good price, he urged them to do so.

A Shareholder: We mean rail motors. The Chairman said there was no u.nerence between them and light engines. With re- gard to four of the directors out of nine being non-resident, he maintained that the line was well looked after by the Board. With regard to selling they were not going to throw away the property, but if any of the powerful companies by which they were surrounded made a fair offer, the directors were quite ready to consider it. The report was then adopted. Mr H F Slittery, the Manchester 8irector, was re-elected. At a special meeting subsequent' held, the shareholders sanctionc-a a Bill before Parlia- ment to acquire additional lands and extend I the time for the completion of the railway authorised by the Cambrian Railways Act, 1901. and fdr other purposes.

JUhuiica AtSERYSTW iTt) v StNGLETON AND COLES. REPLAYED TIE. To witness the replayed cup tie between Aberystwyth and Singleton and Coles (Shrewsbury) on Saturday at the Vicarage Field, there was a splendid attendance of spectators. The ground was on the heavy siae owing to the rain on Saturday morning, bui the afternoon was fine and mild. The teams lined out as follows:— Aberysttvyth.-Go-al. Stamford Williams; backs, E. Dickinson and O Green (captain); halves, E Peake, Joe Davies. and D J Lewis; forwards, H V James, T. Rees, R. Peake, A. Jenkins, and S. Peake. Singleton and Coles.—Goal, H Davies; bucks, J Moore and E. Wright; halves, F. Cliff, W T Etdmunds, and E Sedgley; for- wards, E Cl ift, T Parker, W Randells, H. Payne T. Pinches. Referee: Mr T Evans, Newtown. Linesmen: Sergeant Major J Spencer and P Cra-ston. Immediately after the kick off, the visitors rushed down to the Aber goal and nearly scored in the first minute, but. Dickinson headed the ball clear just in time. It was a near shave for the Town and the relief was great when the ball was cleared out of danger. It was then secured by the homesters, who J were soon making tracks to their opponents' quarters. But the visitors were ready for them and soon robbed Peake of the ball. Both territories were visited in turn, the Town having if anything the best of the ex- changes. About ten minutes' strenuous play had gone when James, the Town outside right, secured the ball and passed with splendid judgment to Peake, who had the goal at his mercy and could not help scoring. Loud cheers were called forth at this early success of the homesters and manv of those present began congratulating themselves on a sure victory. However, the game had only just resumed when the visitors were seen thread- ing their way towards the home goal. They eluded the backs and F. Cliffe, their outside half, beat Williams with what looked from a distance as an easy shot. The game was thus level once more and the visitors shook hands with each other at their success. Both sides went at it again with a will. Austin Jenkins and T Rees were very prominent, working like niggers to regain the lead. Stanley Peake, who was playing outside left, had to leave the field early, suffering from cramp or some other disability. Evidently the hot pace of the play was too much for him, he having been placed in a position that was not suited for him. The contest now waged fiercer than ever, the homesters being only ten men to the visitors' eleven. All the same, no one was down-hearted as the Town boys were full of fight and so were the visitors and thus the battle waged until half-time was called, both territories having been visited in turn. There was no falling off in the hard work of Austin Jenkins. He was continually in the neigh- bourhood of the ball and seemed to be every- where at the same time. He was well sup- ported by Rees, James, and Peake. The de- fence was also hotly engaged. Joe Davies and D J Lewis at half and Dickinson at back were if anything more prominent than the others. Williams in goal, too, was in fine form and was determined not to be beaten the second time. 0. Green did not shine overmuch and E Peake was not so brilliant as he generally is; but he had the hardest nut to crack in having the speediest forward of the visitors against him. A sigh of relief went up when the whistle sounded half-time as the game had been very fast and exciting. The score then red ABERYSTWYTH 1 goal. SINGLETON AND COLES 1 goal. The game was again recommenced with ten men only figuring in the ranks of the Town team. The homesters had the disadvantage this time of playing with the sun in their faces, but they attacked oftener and had more method than in the first half if anything. Corners were granted both sides pretty often, but they were fruitless. Better advantage of them ought to have been taken, but not one of the homesters was safe at taking corners. The strangers, however, were adepts at taking them and not one was put out of play. Time-out of number the visitors were within an ace of scoring, but Dickinson and Williams saved some miraculous attempts. Green also shone at times, but evidently he was out of form through some cause or other, but was playing better than in the first half. The homesters, however, were not idle and narrowly missed scoring at times the four forwards, by the three halves, being continuously dangerous. The tension among the spectators was intense as whichever scored a goal there was no doubt it would have meant a certain win for them. The heavy ground too 'began to tell on the visitors and homesters alike and the pace slackened a few minutes, only to be renewed again by Austin Jenkins, Rees. and James, forcing the pace. James was on the point of scoring when the goalkeeper went for him, but in the collision the visitors' custodian got "laid out" for a few minutes. James is very sturdily built and can stand some hard knocks, which was proved during the game. Some of his oppo- nents will have cause to remember him for a day or two. Time was called with the score still standing one each. The Referee then called the both captains together and informed them that extra time must be played. The visitors strongly objected to this. but the Referee said he had instructions and if they refused to play the game would be awarded to Aberystwyth. g Thev then reversed sides. The kick-off had hardly been taken before Rees, Jenkins, and James were on the ball and passing to Peake, the latter scored amid tumultuous cheering, waving of bats, sticks and throwing of caps in the air and the College war whoop. The cheering was kept up more or less during the half hour and there is no doubt this cheering was f-i great factor in the success of the Town. The homesters for this extra half hour were irresistible and the visitors had no chance whatever with them. Oswald Green had also woke up by this time and there was no pass- ing him now. He came back to his form all of a sudden and played a brilliant game. A ?enaltv tvas also granted the Town, but Ernie eake just failed through the ball being too greasy. Before the end, the homesters se- cured another goal through R Peake. The final soore was— ABER i SI W i In goals. SINGLETON AND COLES 1 goal. MONTGOMERYSHIRE AND DISRICT LEAGUE. Goals. P. W. L. D.

A match was played on the ground of the former on Saturday last. Snow fell heavily in the morning, but bv the afternoon it had cleared off, the ground being in anything but good condition. Just before the start the visitors sang their war song, which reminded one of the New Zealand team. The teams fielded as follows :— Lampeter.—Back, George Davies; three- quarter backs, Tommy Williams, Jack Francis E M James (captain), and Evans; half-backs, Stanley Davies, and Tom Pugh; extra back, Cyril Lewis; forwards, Gconer Williams, Enoch, Thomas, Dan Thomas, jBob, Williams, Jones. Cardiff .-Full back D J Griffiths; three- quarter baeks, D H Davies (captain), R. M Lewis, Owen Jenkins and W John; half- hacks, Lloyd and Luther Thomas; extra back, Dyke; forwards, Crabbe, Richards, Everett. Warren, Dobson, Roberts, and Ford Scale. Referee: Mr J S Jones, W.F.U. Professor Scott kicked off for the College amidst cheers. The home forwards carried play to the visitors territory. The Cardiff full-back relieved with a long kick which Tommy' Williams fielded an'd brought off a prettn- i-Lin along the touch line, being only pushed into touch a few yards from the line. The heme forwards again invaded the visitors quarters, but could not break through the defence.' Hie Cardiff forwards now put more dash into their play and invaded the home Tine. One of the visiting forwards made a mark. Francis, however, returned the kick to touch in midfield. Exchange of kicks be- tween the two full backs ended in favour of the home custodian, who found touch on the Cardiff side of the half way line. From the line out, the Lampeter forwards rushed play to within a few yards of the line, the visiting full back comin.g to' the rescue and finding touch. The visitors transferred play to the other end of the field and kept up hot pres- sure for some time. E M James, however, brought relief by intercepting a pass and ran be the Cardiff 25 before he was grassed. Had he p issed to Francis who was in attendance, the latter would have no difficulty in scoring. The score at half time was- I LAMPETER Nil. CARDIFF Nil. I The second halt opened in favour ot the j homesters, Enoch being prominent with a fine dribble to the visitors' quarters. The Cardiff men now had a turn at pressing and several bouts of passing were tried but very little ground was gained, the ball being too greasy to handle. One of the Cardiff centres tried a drop at goal which missed its mark by a few inches, a really good attempt. One of the Cardiff backs made a good attempt on his own to break through. He was, however, grassed about a yard from the line by George Davies. The same player brought off another good save a; minute later. Lampeter trans- ferred the scene of operations to the Cardiff line and had hard lines in not scoring. Car- diff forwards again got going and penned the homesters on their line. Enoch, however, re- lieved with a good dribble to midfield. At this stage of the game the home forwards were playing much better and kept up a. hot attack on the visitors line. Francis fielding the ball, sent to E M James. the latter giv- ing up to George Davies. who was all but over, he was smartly tackled by one of the Cardiff backs, and both men got hurt and had to be carried off the field. From this to the end the visitors were kept on the defence. The final score was- LAMPETER Nil. CARDIFF Nil. U.C.W. v U.C.S.W, (CARDIFF) This match took place on the Vicarage This match took place on the Vicarage Field on Thursiday last before a good attend- ance. The following were "the teams :— U.C.W.Full back, D T Hufrhes: three- quarters, B Bodyoombe (captain), F L Rees, Tom Jones, Rees Price; half backs, D Jen- kins, Tom Rees; forwards, R M Morgan, W G Rees, W H Parry, H V James, J D Vaughan, W J Williams, Gwilvm Williams.

Cardiff kicked off, but the kick was charged down by H V James who dribbled away to the Cardiff 25. From the first serum, D. Jenkins received and passed out to the t..ree- quarters who attempted some passing, but were not allowed to go far. One of the Cardiff backs received and put in a good kick to touch. Seeing that the Akr. for- wards were controlling the scrums, W. H. Parry was brought out of the pack. He at once made his presence felt b-* some good tackling of the Cardiff backs. IF L Rees and Tom Jones brought off a good dribble and the former sent out the ball to Rees Price, who was not stopped until within five yards of the Cardiff line. Vaughan picked up in the loose and tan across with a good tr which was not converted. The next incident was a fine dribble by Tom Jones, but the Cardiff full back put in a good return. D. Jenkins, who was playing a brilliant game, took the ball from the feet of the Cardiff forwards and passed to Tom Rees. After beating two men, he passed to Ben Body- combe who almost scored. The Cardiff for- wards relieved with a dribble and D T Hughes stopped a dangerous rush and put in a good kick to touoh. H V James came away from the next scrum with the ball at his feet and together withj W G Rees, Vaughan, and R M Morgan, took play to Cardiff terri- tory. F'rom the line out, W J Williams re- ceived and crossed the line with a try that was not converted. Cardiff now attacked but Tom Jones and W J Williams relieved with a good dribble. U.C.W. aga.in reached the Cardiff line thanks to some good pla*- by W H Parry and they were attacking when the whistle went for half-time. Half-time ooor U.C.W Two tries. I U.C.S.W Nil. I After the interval, R M Morgan and Drew came into prominence for some good work in the line out. Cardiff tried some passing and the right wing kicked down the field, but D T Hughes put in an excellent return. Then came a fine bout of passing between F L Rees, Tom Jones, and Rees Price which took play to the Cardiff 25. Aber. were penalised twice in succession for off-side play, but Tom Jones relieved with a good kick. Good play by Drew, W G Reec and R M Morgan took play to the Calrdiff line, but only a minor resulted. R M Morgan re ceived from the kick out and put in a good run. The Cardiff forwards brought off a dangerous rush, but the ball rolleid into touch in the Aber 25. W G Rees received from the line out. and started a dribble. W G Rees and R M Morgan were verv pro- minent in the line-out. Thanks to a good kick by one of the backs, Cardiff attacked, but W H Parry aaved welL D T Hughes and F L Rees were loudly applauded for some good kicking to touch. Then came the most interesting incident of the match. D. Jenkins received and passed to Tom Rees who ran and gave to fom. Jones. He, in turn, passed to F D Rees who broke through beautifully and when confronted by the iuli back, passed to Ben Body com be who scored a magnificent try. The kick at goal failed. After the resta.rt, Tom Rees made a mark and kicked to touch. The final whistle blew shortlv afterwards. Final soore:- U.C.W 3 tries J U.C.S.W Nil. { NOTES ON THE GAME. It. was an excellent game. Every man on the Aber side played an almost faultless game. D T Hughes at full back played a brilliant game, his fielding and touch-finding being excellent. Of the three-quarters, the wings had very little to do, but what VIley had to do they did well. Tom Jones and F L Rees, the centres, played very well, tho former came into prominence for nis well- judged kicks, while the most notable incid- ent in the play of the latter was the manner in which he broke through when he put Ben Bodycombe in with the last try of the match. D Jenkins and Tom Rees combined well at half and were more than a match for their opponents. All the forwards plaved well and those who deserve special mention are R M Morgan, W G Rees, W H Parry, and F W Drew. The play of the latter is all the more creditable as he had practically retired from the game and was asked as late as Wednesday to take the place of W T Davies who had not recovered from his injury i HOCKEY. INTER-COLLEGIATE MATCH AT BANGOR. The annual fixture between University College of Wales (ladies) and University Col- lege of North Wales (ladies) was played at Bangor on Saturday morning in the presence of a large crowd mainly' composed of local students of both sexes. The ground militated against a correct exposition of the game and owing to the heavy rain which had fallen during the earlier part of the morning, the foothold was very unsecure. The teams were University College of North Wales:-Misr, M Hughes, goal; Miss Pearson and Miss M Richards (captain), full backs; Miss Hartley Miss Witton Davies, Miss Gwen Griffiths, half backs; Miss Pinkerton, Miss A James, Miss E J Jones Miss Easterling, and Miss Russell Jones, forwards. University College of Wales:—Miss Mor- 1 gan, goal; Miss Gregory and Miss Bunberry, full backs; Miss Barlow3 Miss Pickers-zi,i, Miss Middleton, half backs; Miss Edwards, Miss Bensken, Miss Brace, Miss Violet Lloyd and Miss Hatton, forwards. It was soon made apparent that. the heavy ground notwithstanding, the spectators were going to be treated to an exhilarating game and the Aber ladies began to exert a pres- sure, only to 1Je repulseia by the rock-like de- fence of the two home full backs. Piay alternated with remarkable quickness, but the forwards found it impossible to score and when the interval arrived, the scoring she* i remained blank. Early in the second half, Miss Russell Jones (Bangor) darted along the left wing and cannoned the b11 well into the Aber. goai-mouth where an exciting meleo occurred and the, ball was forced into the net amici great excitement. Continuing to press with great energy, the Bangor forwards, particu- larly Miss Pinkerton and Miss Russell Jones, gave the opposing defence a warm time of it. but for a. while they managed to keep the goal intact. Miss Morgan showing smart custodianship. There was, however, no mis- taking the superiority of the home team at this stage and time after time M ss Russell Jones ran down the wing and whipped across fine centies, which were cleverly met by Mis, Pinkerton who forced several corners.
