— I.—. i Lord Bute steps forward to teach narrow citi- zens a lesson in public epiriv. He has shamed the opponents of the Royal Agricultural Show in the Llandaff Fields by grant- ing the Sophia Gardens Fields and all the land adjacent to the society. Now that the Llandaff Felds objectors have increased the town's expenditure necessary over the site, perhaps they will offer, in some measure at least, to meet the extra cost to whioh the town will be put in preparing Lord Bute's muni- ficent offer. This Llandaff Fields opposition will cost the ratepayers something, and it is hard that the public-spirited should suffer through having lacked, for one day only, pub- lic spirit sufficient to take them to a town's i meeting. • • • • • • • The Abernant Dinas Silica Brick Company, of Neath, have publicly announced their in- tention of withdrawing their exhibits from the Paris Exhibition as a mark of their disgust at the termination to the Dreyfus case. In this matter the Welsh firm has fallen into line with several large Continental exhibitors. We would point out. however, that a movement of this sort (the only pro- test the world can make which would be felt and recognised by the French people) can only have the effect desired if exhibitors combine for the purpose of the boycott. Where only a few intend to refrain from exhibiting the protest will not be felt. If the Abernant Company place themselves in communication with English, American, and Continental firms with the object of a thorough f. 66ye4t; they Way Bnd wideaBroa4 ettppert.

A dismal failure will be 3 Bpnrcd, a-ild who is there that will not gd, the lesron is sorely heeded. Dtit ttni&ss the exhibitors come to a general agreement on the matter, it is folly for singi« fit,inq to withdraw, « • • a • • • • If W9 believe everything flashed over the wires froni the Transvaal, we get as far as litis to-day: "The situation is acute." The "situation" has been so acute in the mjnd. of Jingo correspondents during the last few weeks that their great difficulty is now to discover new words and phrases which will avoid the monotonous repetition of that one word, "acute." But, looking behind the bluster, we find everything acute-except the afore- said situation. We see acute warophobia afflicting the non-fighters. Men whose pas- time in life is the spectacle of others fighting are beside themselves with joyous expectancy. Acute gold-mania has made the selfishness of the shouting warriors more acute. On examining the basis of the situation we can only find such informing items as these:- "Xiie attitude of the Colonial Office is one of expectancy." "Great Britain's reply read in the Volksraad is virtually an ultimatum." The Colonial attitude is certainly expectant- the expectancy of diplomatists who look for- ward to anything but war, and use good British bluff with no expectation of danger. As for the ultimatum—Great Britain has sent a score of messages of a similar class. The war has been conducted peaceably by tele- graph, and has been exceedingly costly at that. Had Edison perfected a telephone to reach from Westminster to Pretoria, Kruger at one end and Chamberlain at the other would have settled the matters of difference from the plea&ant ease of a couple of public call-rooms, provided, of course, that the tele- phone company did not irritate either after the fashion it employs towards the unfortu- nate subscribers on the South Wales list. Kruger's game is to give as little as he can, Chamberlain's is to get as much as possible. Their relations are mora cute than acute. •••••* The sending of men and arms to South Africa by no means implies that war is actually imminent. The movement is observed on every occasion where negotiations are of a similarly hard-fought nature. It is nothing mere than a precaution-a costly one, in truth; but that matters little. Britain has money enough to spend on military playthings, but. none to throw away at home on social ques- tions beside which the grievances of the Uit- landers are as nothing. When intelligent men reflect on the misery which the money spent on a. war show might alleviate in England, tihey will be less earnest in their championship of wealthy South Africans. Half the folk for whom British money is so lavishly expended are rich enough to retire from the Transvaal, and to spare sufficient to give others a start. The Boers must pay for their own war; may we not reasonably expect the wealthy Trans- vaal malcontent to pay for his. Why let the cost of this fall on the British at home? Great Britain cannot afford to spend huge sums on the already wealthy Transvaal when she is too poor to extend official aid to the thousands i starving at home. The crime of the Boer (we do not plead the cause of the Boer, but we do desire consis- tency in the conduct of Great Britain) is the withholding of the franchise from the rich man who left England poor and made his wealth in the land of the Boers. There are tens of thousandq disfranchised in Great Britain for no crime exoept poverty. The half- starved British pauper does not possess the benefits of enfranchisement. It was even pro- posed to disfranchise WMsh colliers who during the recent strike accepted money, directly or indirectly, from the rates at Mer- thyr. When Great Britain robs her own poor of the franchise, she cannot care consistently for the enfranchisement of her poor subjects in the Transvaal. For whom, then, is she expending these extravagant sums of money which she can ill afford to spare from her own concerns at home? Surely, not for the poor South African, since she has no such ambi- tion for her worn-out sons of toil at home? Then, it follows that the whole of this "acute situation"—or, more correctly, this enor- mously costly situation-is conceived for the benefit of Englishmen in the Transvaal who can well afford to pay their own way. That last phrase is a reminder: Since the accep- tance of aid from public funds destroys the Englishman's rights to the franchise, should not the British subject in the Transvaal logically be similarly pauperised? This question does not strain the point so far as some may conceive it to on the first asking. The more we analyse and compare the more acute is the conviction that we should cultivate consistency in our dealings with subjects at home and in South Africa. One of our reporters who went the round of the Sh:pping Office and the boarding-houses at Cardiff the other day expresses his astonish- ment at the great preponderance of foreigners amongst ths seamen in Cardiff. The British seaman, he says, is forced to a back seat whilst his field of bread-vanning is over-run by foreigners. If any there be who desire to know the extent to which the bread is ta-lien out of the mouths of British seamen by the foreigners- herded in British posts they cannot do better than follow our man's footsteps round the sea- men's quarters in Cardiff. The reason for the smothering of British by foreign labour we have already explained. The Shipping Federa- tion claims that it has done more to raise the seamen's wages than the Union has. The nature of its self-lauded efforts may be examined profitably in the light of the Central News Agency's message from London. The message states that, in connection with the seamen and firemen's strike in the port of London, two steam tugs arrived in the Thames on Monday afternoon, bringing firemen from Hamburg and Rotterdam, where they were engaged by the Shipping Federation at or less than the present rate of P,5 a month. Twenty- six of the firemen shipped on board the America and Europe, of the Atlantic Trans- port Line, which have been off Gravesend since Saturday waiting for crews, and have now pro- ceeded to sea. The remaining 24 will be shipped on other vessels of the same line. This is a fair example of the benefits conferred on British workmen by the Fede- ration. Whilst we protect our manufactures from cheap and nasty foreign imitations organisations such as this exist in the country for the purpose of swamping the home market with labour made in Germany. • • • • • m The other day we pointed out the difference between the treatment accorded seamen by their drivers and the attitude of Welsh coal- owners towards their workmen. The seamen sought a board of conciliation on the lines of the joint committee which settles the points of difference as they occur between colliers and colliery proprietors. The shipowners blankly refused to meet the men in any way, hence the seamen's strike. We are now afforded another object-lesson by the first meeting of the new conciliation board in the Welsh tin- plate trade. At this initial meeting the board has decided upon a uniform wage-rate in branches which did not come over the 1874 agreement, and has settled amicably other vexed questions which ere now have cheated a strike. Both parties, so far as we learn to-daj, are satisfied with the result, and the board is likely to ensure a lasting peace. Sir John Jones Jenkins, speaking after the meeting, thought the masters were taking the right course in having conferences with the men just now with the idea of getting over the difficulty. From what he had been able to observe of what had taken place at the con- ferences, he thought the masters would not have much difficulty in coming to an amicable arrangement with the men. It was cer- tain that strikes were most detrimental to the interests of all, and a glance at the railway returns after the strike last year sufficiently showed the enormous amount of loss incurred without benefiting anyone. Thus, whilst all important branches of labour are becoming civilised with the dawn of a new century, shipowners alone, inundating Britain with their foreign labourers, refuse to keep paoe with the progress of the timee. The spirit of the Boer is in them-yet they claim to be Englishmen and Welshmen.

BOTTLE-NOSE SHARK AT CARDIFF. Passers-by of the premises of a well-known tradesman in Bute-stroot on Wednesday were surprised to see a large crowd gazing at an object which is exceptional even in our sea- port town. Our correspondent interviewed the proprietor, and elicited the fact that the fish had been caught in the Bristol Channel, and purchased at no small figure Evidently the manager kne-v his business, for the fish, which was a bottle-nose shark, was purchased and ticketed, "To be Skinned.

FALL FROM THE WINGS.
FALL FROM THE WINGS. At the Victoria. Theatre, Kettering, on Men- day night, an actress, Miss Mary Austin, per- forming in "Passion's Power," fell from the wings down to the stage, a distance of about twelve feet. Her shrieks disconcerted the actors and alarmed the audience, and for some time considerable excitement prevailed. It was found that Miss Austin had, fortunately, ouly sustained contusions and bruises, and later in the evening her re-appearance evoked considerable cheering. A loose plank is said to have been the cause of the accident.

It wa'i stated that no claims had been lodged against the estate, and, in the event of any assets being discovered, they were claimed by the trustee under the debtor's former bankruptcy. The meeting was adjourned for a fortnight.

MALTED LIQUOR versus MALTED MILK.- Nursing mothers are frequently recommended beer and other stimulants to increase their supply of milk, and many old traditions are followed which have nothing but their age to recommend them. In the wide field of utility to which HORLICK'S MALTED MILK has estab-1 lished its claim, it should not be forgotten that this preparation is most valuable to mothers who have an infant at the breast. It gives not only increase but richness. While in this manner it brings assistance to the parent, it may be taken by the infant as supplementary to the mother's milk, and, as is well known, can rei-plaoe it altogether. It is also of great benefit to dyspeptics and to convalescents from all diseases. Of all chemists. Price la. 6d., 2a. 6d., and 118.

PROMOTIONS APPROVED BY THE…
PROMOTIONS APPROVED BY THE WATCH COMMITTEE. A meeting of the Cardiff Watch Committee was held on Wednesday, when the head-con- stahle (Mr. W. McKenzie) recommended the promotion of Sergeant Lewis (fourteen years'' exemplary service) to inspector, Police-con- stable Edward Waters (twelve years' service) to sergeant, and Detectives Stephens, Gretton, and Davey to the position of detective-sergeant without increase of pay. Replying to Alder- man Jacobs, Mr. McKenzie stated that the detectives' pay would rank with that of an ordinary sergeant's.-It was also recommended that Police-constable Adams (29C), reported unfit for service after 22 years' good conduct, be allowed RI 2s. per week superannuation. —All the recommendations of the head-con- stable were adopted. Presentations for Bravery. Two youths, named Thomas Gregory and Daniel O'Donovan were presented by the Mayor (Sir Thomas Morei) with the bronze medals and certificates of the Royal Humane Society for saving life from drowning. The circumstances were that on the 3rd of August last a boy, named Goodland, fifteen years of age, got into difficulties in the Taff, and was in danger of drowning. Gregory, who is only ten years of age, was dressing after bathing, and, seeing his comrade in difficulties, he went into the water, and, getting Goodland on his shoulders, got him safely to land. O'Donovan assisted Gregory in the rescue, and, as the water at the point where the boys were bathing was 20ft. deep and the river 86ft. wide, the rescuors had very great difficulty in bringing Goodland out of danger. The mayor highiy compli- mented the boys upon their pluck, and O'Donovan, in a. manly way, said that he would do the same thing again if the necessity arose. A Case of Mistaken Identity. A charge was brought at the police-court last week against Police-constable Gurney (22C), and the stipendiary suggested that an investigation snould be made. The head-constable made prompt inquiries, with the result that the people who made the charge were confronted by the constable at the watch committee meet- ing. Their names were Jen-kin David Phillips, William Henry Hale, and Frederick Wynn. Mr. Phillips was the first to speak, and he stated that he was a local delegate to the High Court of Foresters, who, on the 8th of August, had an excursion to Weston. On his return he and several others directed the visitors to their temporary homes, with the result that it was about 1.30 when they reached Adamsdown. They were discussing some question which had been before the Illigh Court when Pdice-con- stable Gurney, who was in plain clothes, came along and said, "Now, clear out of this." They questioned his right to thus summarily stop the argument, and, after proceeding for some distance towardsiplott, they returned in order to obtain the constable's number. Mr. Hale then took up the thread of the story, stating that Gurney, when he remonstrated with him, struck him down and tore his trousers. He shouted "Murder," and Mr. Phillips went to see what was the matter. According to his (Phillips's) statement, Gurney knocked him several times on the head with a pair of hand- cutfs.-Polic-e-constable Gurney admitted that he told a group of men, of whom the tb,o- complainants formed part, to move on, because they were the worse for drink, and they were disturbing the neighbourhood. They went away, and he saw nothing of them afterwards. Messrs. Phillips, Hale, and Wynn, however, went to the Roath Police-station and laid a complaint against Gurney, who, they said, was a "man with a light moustache." Gurney told, the watch committee—and in this he was cor- roborated by the head-constable—that he never wore a moustache. Police-constable Richards 3poke to the men being moved on, but the climax of the inquiry was reached when Detec- tive Kellett put in an appearance and admitted having used his fists pretty effectively upon Bale and Phillips. He possesses a moustache )f a rather light colour, which he dresses a la xiilitaire, and unquestionably was the man whom the Foresters' delegates had been look- ing for. But he gave a very different story )f ihe occurrence. He alleged that when the ihree complainants came back Hale assaulted 1. -.L_ 1111.11 uy svnjung mm on the neck. As there was every evidence of the attack being continued, Kellet thought it advi- sable to counter, with the result that Hale was floored, and Phillips, who came to the assistance of his friend, fared no better. Superintendent Fowler stated that the three men, when they lodged the complaint at the Roath Police-station, were under the in- fiuence of drink.—The Head-constable stated that hi might have shortened the inquiry but for the fact that the three complainants insisted that Gurney was the man who assaulted them, whereas Kellett had, the day after the occurrence, explained fully to him what had taken place. If there was anybody to blame, therefore, it must be Kellett.-On the motion of Alderman Ramsdale, seconded by Mr. Gerhold, it was- resolved unanimously that the charge against Gurney was not proven.- Alderman Jacobs said, however, that he strongly objected to persons beting pushed by the police. It ruffled a man's temper, and sometimes led to a disturbance. Other members agreed, and it was decided that Kel!ett be cautioned not to be too handy with his fists. y The officers and the complainants were then called in and the result of the committee's deliberations communicated to them. Messrs. Phillips, Hale, and Wynn strongly denied that they were under the influence of drink at the time that they were, as they allege, assaulted. g*—M——WW—

TOSSED BY A BOTX. As Ernest Nathan, twelve, of Stobart-build- ings. Datchelor-street, CamberweU, was walking along Camberwell-road on Tuesday morning, he fluttered a handkerchief before a herd of bullocks coming along. Suddenly one rushed forward with lowered head, and, before the boy could get out of the way, caught him by its horns and tossed him over the railings into Camberwell Green. The boy lay stunned for a few moments, but on being picked up was found to be only slightly injured.

REVISION COURT HUMOURS.

(Laughter.) He was sorry he could not allow the vote. Addressing the claimant, he asked: "And is the baby going on all richt?" (Loud laughter.) In another case the claimant admitted having received relief on the day before the qualifying date.-The Bar- rister remarked that the vote could not be allowed. The law assumed that during that week the voter was bribable and corruptible, and all that sort of thing. The law was pre- posterous, but they could not help it. Then, addressing the claimant, he said, And so you you don't get your vote for your 2s. 6d., but you have our sympathy." (Laughter.)

VISIT TO CABDIFF ASSURED.
VISIT TO CABDIFF ASSURED. MAGNANIMOUS LETTEB FROM SIR W. T. LEWIS. A special meeting of the Town-hall com- j mittee of the Cardiff Corporation was held on Wednesday, Alderman Carey presiding. The Town-clerk read a letter which he had written to Sir W. T. Lev.is on the 18th of August. In that letter Mr. Wheatley stated that Mr. Sanday and Mr. Burgess, on behalf of the Royal Agricultural Society, went over a portion of Pontcanna Farm and the recreation ground adjoining Sophia Gardens, when Mr. Sanday indicated further requirements of the society as follows:- (!) Additional accommodation for ingress and egress at the present entrance to the Sophia Gardens Field from Cathedial-.ro id. Mr. Sanday suggested that this could be provided between the park- keeper's J-odge and the back wall of the houses in Cathedral-road. (2.) Two new openings in the wall on the north-west i,ie of the recreation ground, the present gateway to be removed, and, if pos- sible, entrance widened to the full width of the central portion of the avenue. (3.) An entrance to be made in the wall from Dyfrig-street or one of the adjoining streets into the show grounds. (4.) The society would be glad if they could rent Pontcanna House for a few months. These conditions were forwarded to Sir W. T. Lewis, with a request that he would see his wv to meet the requirements of the society. Sir W. T. Lewis replied as follows:- "Aberdare, 30th August, 1899. "My dear Sir,— "Royal Agricultural Show, 1901. "I have been obliged to delay replying to your letter of the 2ist inst. owing to absence in Scotland, and subsequently lack of time to make the necessary inquiries to enable me to consider the important application you make on behalf of the Cardiff Corporation and the Royal Agricultural Society. "The Marquess of Bute, in view of the desire of the people of Cardiff to secure a meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society at Cardiff, in 1901, has taken snecial interest in the negotiations for that purpose, and, as it is impossible owing to his lordship's serious illness for me to consult him, I will take upon myself th_ "responsibility of meeting the fur- ther requirements upon the Bute property indicated in your letter tn the greatest extent possible, and I have pleasure in replying to the several points raised in the order set forth in your letter. "(1.) The additional accommodation for ingress and egress suggest-ed by Mr. San day between the park-l*eeper's lodge and the back wall of the houses in Cathedral-road shall be granted. "(2) The two new openings required in the wall on the south-west side of the recrention ground and the temporary removal of the present gateway, as well as the widening of th< entrance to the central portion of the avenue, may be carried out as desired. "(3.) The proposed entrance from Dyfrig- street into the show-ground may be made as desired, and subject to the exact line of the proposed roauway across the narrow plantation on the east side of the occupation road lead- ing to Pontcanna House being settled with Mr. Edwin Corbett. The privacy of Pontcanna House, occupied by Mrs. James Corbett, is not to be interfered with. "(4.) I am sorry we cannot entertain the suggestion for the renting of Pontcanna House for any period. "I have, pleasure in complying with the request that the additional area, making about 124 acres of Bute property, shown on your plans, should be devoted for the purposes of the show as well as for purposes outside of the showyard. "Of course, these privileges are to be granted on the distinct understanding that the Cardiff Corporation will undertake to compensate all tenancies that may be affected by the proposed arrangements, and that they also undertake to fill up the openings herein referred to, and restore the several premises as nearly as pos- sible to their present condition to the satis- faction of the Marquess of Bute. "Hoping that these arrangements will enable the corporation to oomply with all the require- ments of the Royal Agricultural Society and ensure the show being-held at Cardiff in 1901. I remain, yours very truly, W. THOMAS LEWIS. "J. L. Wheatley, Esq." The letter gave the greatest satisfaction to the committee, and, on the proposition of Mr. hughes, seconded by Mr. Munn, a vote of 'thanks was accorded to Sir W. T. Lewis. for the interest he had taken in the matter. The town-clerk was instructed to communicate with the committee of the society. It was announced that the estimated expen- diture to the town for compensation, Ac., ig X,2,100, as compared with X900 had the Llandaff Fields been used. -===
I THE "WESTERN MAIL" FIRE.
THE "WESTERN MAIL" FIRE. FROM WHICH IS nATED A CABBY'S DO v^NlFALL. A meeting of the Cardiff Dabs' Committee was held on Wednesday at the Town-hall, Councillor John Jenkins presiding.—An appli- cation from Mr. Goodyetr (manager of the Cardiff Tramways Company) was read asking that the siding on the Newport-road, opposite the university college, should be removed some few yards eastwards owing to the great strain on the horses, as they have to stop on the brow of the hill.—The matter was referred to the public works oornmittp-e.-A letter was read from Patrick Downing petitioning tha com- mittee to reinstate him aa conductor. It appears that some time ago, when travelling as a passenger on a tram, a lady fell off-the car, and for not having assisted the lady he had been discharged. A letter was read from a passenger in the oar at the time exonerating him from all blame.—Councillor Jenkins sa.id that this was another example of the iniquitous management of the management of the Cardiff Tramway Company, but they could do nothing for the man in that committee.—A cabman, named Mundy, was accused of having been drunk, &c., a great number of times in the last few years. Mundy pleaded that he had never been drunk till the night the "Western Mall" was burned down.—Mr. Good: The sight of the flames made you thirsty, I suppose, but I don't see how that could be responsible for your getting drunk all tue time since then, for the "Mail" was burnt down in a couple of hours.—Eventually, on the proposition of Mr. Chappie, Mundy's lioenoa was suspended for two months.

LONDON ADVENTURES OF A .MINE…
LONDON ADVENTURES OF A MINE j'ROMOTFR. If there is one thing more than another j (says the," Da-ily Mail") that impresses the Australian in London it is the necessity for the tipping of all and sundry. The system was dolefully described the other day in the course of some bankruptcy proceed- ings in Australia. In February, 1896, the bank- rupt was given JE400 to come to England in order to float a gold mine. "I went home second class," he said, in his evidence, and returned in the saloon, and I now wish to goodness I had never come back at all." Later, he observed that much of the L400 had gone in tips." The Judge: Did you tip a duke to become a director? Ban-. No, but I paid one man as much as £1.);), and had to tip everyone connected with the flotation. London is the worst place in the world for tipping. If a man gives a cup of coffee you have to tip him twopence. (Laughter.) If a man shaves you you have to tip him threepence. This bankrupt also appeared to have but a poor opinion of commercial morality here. He said that his share of the floating was Z600 in cash and 600 shares for floating the company, and afterwards £ 1,000 in cash and 11,155 in shares. While in England he was appoint-ed manager of the mine at £ 500 a year. When ho was manager he got from 7dwt. to loz. of gold; but the present man only got ldwt. Counsel: You ought to have stuck to it. Bankrupt (fervently): I ought, by golly. Counsel: It was better than gambling on the Stock Exchange, eh? Bankrupt: It was, but I-hope to get it back again, with God's help. Of his creditors. 36 were stockbrokers, and he owed them £ 2,600. "The 12th of August wa.s my last day at the Exchange, I wish to God I had never entered it. lwaa not posted, but my inability to pay soon got about. They are such tattlers there." (Laughter.) Questioned by counsel, the bankrupt hesi- tated to ascribe the low state of commercial morality to the prevalent system of "tipping."
ENGLISHMEN ATTACKED INi BOULOGNE,
ENGLISHMEN ATTACKED IN BOULOGNE, A Ramsgate correspondent telegraphed on Tuesday night: — A dastardly outrage is reported here as having been committed upon five of the pas- sengers who visited Boulogne from Ramsgate on the steamship Conqueror. Four of the employes at the Grosvenor Hotel, London, in company with a Ramsgate resident named Parsons, had, it appears, just left the Criterion Restaurant on the Quai Gambetta, where they had dined, when a. woman of the working class rushed at them, and, having emptied the contents of a large bottle of vitriol over the whole party, ran off at a great speed. She was pursued by gendarmes and overtaken, but she violently resisted capture. Serious Injuries. Thomas Olliffe, of London, sustained the worst injuries, his face and neck being terribly burnt. All the five men were treated at the shop of an English chemist named Parsons. Widespread indignation was caused by the outrage on the return of the party to Rams- gate, and on the homeward journey of the Conqueror the passengers showed their sym- pathy with Olliffe by subscribing E4, wherewith to purchase a new suit of Clothes.
A RUNAWAY TRÅIN
A RUNAWAY TRÅIN CARELESS DRIVERS AND A SLEEPY GUARD. Colonel Yorke's report, on the railway acci- dent at Walton Old Junction on August 2 is issued from the Board of Trade. The accident occurred to an excursion train from Blackpool to Birmingham, which, owing to a block on the line, was stopped on a steep gradient. When, on ..the signal to go forward, the driver released the brake the train began to run backward. After running half a mile the train was turned off the rails at tHe catch- points. Colonel Yorke attributes the accident to the ca-releasness and inattention of the two drivers in not discovering that their train was running in the wrong direction. The guard in charge stated that he had remained in his van during the whole of the time the train was detained, viz., one hour 43 minutes. Colonel Yorke had no doubt he was asleep in his van.
RAGS AND RICHES,
RAGS AND RICHES, Late on Monday night an old man, named Henry Moulder, 78, an opera-glass fitter, living at 126, Pentonville-road, London, N., was re- moved by Mr. Laver, the Holborn Union re- lieving officer, to the St. Luke's Infirmary, Old- street, in an apparently destitute condition. His appearance led ths officer to think that illness had been brought about by neglect and starvation. No. 126, Pentonville-road, where Moulder had resided for more than twenty years, is a tene- ment house, and one that would lend itself to the exercise of a solitary life. In consequence of a statement made by Moulder, his apart- ments, which consisted of two attics, wore searched by the authorities on Tuesday. The rooms were well furnished, but it was evident that they had not been used for years. A cup- board, however, attracted the searchers' atten- tion, and on forcing it open they found a cigar-box containing X439 in gold. twenty-four X5 notes, and one R,10 note, all of which were issued in 1861. The notes were covered with dust. In a tin cash-box was a bar of dirty- looking metal which Mr. T. Cole, a Union col- lector, recognised as a bar of gold. This bar had evidently been cast from gold coins. In another compartment was found a, con- siderable quantity of jewellery. In addition to this there was discovered a. life policy, the premium of which had been paid up to next December. Moulder has several relatives, but for many years past he has had no communication with them, and a woma.n who has lived in the same I house for fourteen years knew nothing of his existence. On Tuesday night the man was in a weak and critical condition.
MOBBING AN AUCTIONEER. i---
MOBBING AN AUCTIONEER. Lively and exciting scenes were witnessed at East Grinstead on Tuesday when Mr. Harcourt Mills, a Brighton auctioneer, attended the police-station to seU goods seized under a dis- tress-warrant for the non-payment of a fine and costs under the Vaccination Act. The attendance was mainly composed of members of the local Anti-Vaccination Society, and on the auctioneer exhibiting his card in front of the stand he was greeted with a shower of epithets, "You're no Englishman," "Dirty Brighton," and "Dirty work," were the greet- ings of the crowd. Six lots of furniture only realised £1 14s., and the secretary of the Anti- Vaccination Sdciety was the buyer. Then one of the leaders of the society mounted a table, and sang "Boys of the Old Brigade," the com- pany joining in the chorus. Under police pro- tection the auctioneer and his assistants made their way to the railway station, followed by the large crowd hissing and hooting. The rail- way officials excluded the public from the plat- form. but the crowd purchased tickets for the West Station and swarmed on to the platform. After considerable disturbance the station- master had to interfere, and, escorted by policemen, the auctioneer was able to get away.

NOVEL RACK TO COME OFF AT…
NOVEL RACK TO COME OFF AT CAKDIFF The novel meeting to be held at the Cardiff Athletic Grounds on Saturday next is exciting great interest. I now learn from Mr. H. J. Powell that the programme is complete—and a very good programme it is, too. First, there is a mile bicycle open handicap, in which all the local cracks will compete; then there ar. the one-lap amateur time tests, in which four- teen of our best riders will see who can pedal a quarter-mtle the quickest. In addition, Mr. Leon Cody on horseback will ride against T. G. Whale (runner) for 50 yards level, and Mr. S. F. Cody will ride against J. Stanwell (North Lancashire Mile Cycle Champion) for five mines in relays of horses. Mr. Cody on horseback will also ride against the same cyclist. Then there are three attempts at records, viz., W. Clay v. ten miles, when the popular Cardiff rider will be paced by about seven tandems; and also two attempts at world records (timed by a London official) by Nicholls and Jenkins on tandems. It will be remembered that these two riders have already made a world record for a mile on tandeims. On the present occa- sion they will ride the same distance with both standing and flying starts. Considering the excellent state of the track, they should do some fast times, To wind up, Mr. Cody and a company of about fourteen artistes will give a riding and shooting exhibition that will last about an hour. This performance alone should draw a big crowd. The meeting commences at three o'clock sharp. Laorosee has found no favour in South Wales as yet, but it is likely that it will do so before long. Mr. Nicholson, hon. secretary of the Cardiff Racquet and Lawn Tennis Club, has arranged for two strong teams to give an exhibition of the game on the ground of the Cardiff Football Club, Cardiff Arms Park, on Wednesday, September 27. The teams will come respectively from Manchester and Lon- don, and, as several international players have promised to be present, an interesting game should result. There must of necessity be a limit to a man's speed in walking, and W. J. Sturgess in his anxiety to travel faster than he had ever done previously incurred the displeasure of Judge Venn. It was not mixing," deliberate or un- intentional which led to the champion's dis- qualification, but a most unmistakable jump from heel to heel. Sturgess was not a solitary example; and one very well-known walker waa for a time extremely wroth at being palled out for the first time in his career. The Somerset County Rugby Union had a deficit on the year 1898-9, partly caused by a majority of the oounty fixtures (which were increased) being decided away, and have been compelled to withdraw X54 8s. 3d. from their oapitad account. Even then their working balance has, been reduced from 233 18s. 3d. to L14 2s. 5d. All the chief clubs in the county are now affiliated, but I am rather surprised that the individual subscriptions are not larger than L8 18s. Mr. James Howell's sales at the famous Lian. maes establishment have long ago been acknowledged as quite the most important gathering of the kind we have in the Princi- pality indeed, they rank with most that are held in the kirgdom. Such being the case, it was no wonder that there was a strong com- pany of buyers at St. Fagan's on Tuesday afternoon. The sale, taken through, must be put down as a most successful one, especially in the case of harness horses, where capital prices were realised. On the whole; however, the horses were not quite up to Mr. Howell's usual standard, and, with not quite the cattle on offer that buyers wanted, prices did not rule so good as usual. One or two bargains were picked up, however, and of these the bay gelding Sirdar was, perhaps, the most noticeable. He was by far the nicest horse seen in the ring during the afternoon, and would make a really nice sporting match leader. At 120gs. he was distinctly a bar- gain. Mr. Howell retained several youngsters that looked extra smart, whilst several lots, including the stallions Prince of Cardiff," Sir Robert," and Lord Primrose II., did not elicit a bid. At the same time, the prices, ruled fair and averaged well all round. The Northern Union's new rule that after all tries, whether converted or not, the ball be kicked off from the centre is leading to plenty of confusion, and something will require to be done. The simplest way to avoid the difficulty would be for the referee to have a couple of flags, one coloured red and the other white, and hoist on or the other in the case of a try or a converted try. One thing is certain, that a. general and recognised method must be adopted of letting the crowd know when a try has or has not been converted. One referee signalled on Saturday with his hands, but it is an impossible matter to go round a, crowd explaining signs, and then each referee may evolve a different signal, and football spec- tators have but short memories." The flag is the signal in coursing and goif, and it works very welL The innovation is thought differently of by paople according to their association with the old or the new school. The old school neces- sarily nangs to old-fashioned ideas, and are naturally loath to follow in the steps of the Northern Union. Still, it does seem to me that the fact of obtaining a try should have been better rewarded, even though the kick at goal is not successful than a mere drop- out from the 25 line. I cannot say that I admire the Northern Union' game as a whole, and I should be sorry to see it introduced in South Wales. At the same time, there is not the slightest doubt but that the managers of this new branch of Rugby football are carefully endeavouring to make the game as attractive as possible. Some of the best tradi- tions of the game are, perhaps, being lost sight of by these innovations, but, at the same time, one cannot hide the fact that Rugby football, with its bag gates, is becoming just as much a business or a profession, whichever you should choose to call it, as a theatre or a music-hall. Consequently, the management that offers the greatest attractions, even though it be in the shape of improvements in the game or the players, is the one that will meet with the greatest success.
