WATKINS AND SLAVTRY AMONG THE BOERS. To the Editor of the "Evening Express." Sir.—Mr. Watkins. the Wesleyan lecturer from Cardiff. rightly denounces the appren- ticeship system, which is only a particular specie of slavery still in vogue among the' Dutch of the Transvaal. Why does he not denounce t|ye "compound" system in connec- tion and other companies of EuropeaijirtSrti Englishmen? Is it not a fact that thism is more demoralising and degradinc to the poor Kamr and other natives who have: to work for a pittance to enrich the millionaire's coffers? Why does not Mr. Wat- kins turn his attention to the British Colonies directly under the official cognisance of Mr. Chamberlain At this moment there are some 25.000 coolies in Jamaica- and some 50,000 in Trinidad who are imported by the planters as blacklegs to work the sugar plan- tations in these islands of the West for a very email wage to the deprivation of the natives of the soil. who are further taxed in order tfett the Government might subsidise the planter* and assist them to pay the fare of titese men, who are brought over almost as cattle from Singapore and other places, wherq they have to aign itocaments covering a period of fifteen, Y. or 25 years, and even in some cases more. If such a- system as this was tried iu our own country there would be a general revolt in less than 24 haurs.

Sir.-H the words in the last paragraph iu Mr. Maclean's article on the sub- ject above quoted, referring to the participation in the South African Whr of our Canadian and Australian Colonies, are his matured vie" s on this subject, 1 fear they art nou the accepted conclusions rf LJ5 rer ctllt. of the electorate of the United Kingdom, let alone the party he professes to oelong to. For vhe past h,¡Jf century statesmen of par- ties in the State have been straining to obtain what Oom Paul has done for us by a single stroke of his pen. Throughout history it always requires the sacrifice of flesh and blood to P?rk ^reut «Pwhs in the events of the worm. And here is a case of history again repeating itself. British blood shed on the veldt of South Africa is the seal set upon the future confederation of Britain with its Coloni throughout the world. Take another of his paragraphs: "Is it credible that General Buller of his own free will acquiesced in the detachment of ftoflower of the British Army— the Guards rl Highlanders to form :i, titparate' column for the relief of Mr. Ce Rhode, at Kimberiey. Mr. RliOds hart -no business there. but it seemed to "bfc a point of honour to save him. The trail of the speculator ba been oa- rbe whole campaign." It is impossible to ecoceire anJone but a man who had for the .tiite lost his mental equilibrium through crass prejudice penning Iucn a statement as tint. It i3 the old well-worn drivel—Rhodes-and- Chainberlain-pliobia. Then, again, the para- graph preceding the one just quoted..jrjSere, with his usual eg»tistic audacity, that the bulk of the British officers are mere mili- tary amateurs." No greater perversion of the trttth could possibly be made by anyone who knew the A B C of Army life in these days and for many years past. It i-i.true that in the old purchase days 1 lifer bulk of the officer? after obtaining thafcr^fcn'paniea sold out, and the keeuer ones j&Brg on until they obtained command of their regiments, and naturally so. Tip, value of their commission in many cases wa, their sole fortune. It wae only the fairly rich, ai a rule, and that only with a fair hope of employment on the staff or as' general officers with commands—and in the latter case they sank the value of their commissions, often not less than E5,OCO to £ 6,000 in the line and considerably moredin the Cavalry and Guards' Csrps-who remained in the service after obtaining command of regiments. But the officers of to-day. as a rule. make the Army their profe-siou, and. from the day they enter either Sandhurst or Woelwie'i to the rank of colonel, are always learning and being taught their profession, and before being promoted to each successive rank have to pass examina- tions. practical and,theoretic; pertaining to those ranks under a board of officers other than those of their regiment. It is the intefest of these men to remain and obtain as high a rank in the Army within the age limit, as their retiring emoluments depend on their rank. To call 'Õ.he¡¡e men mere military amateurs is a gross libel on the service. Again, could anything be more conducive just now to create a want of confidence between the soldier and his offii-er. and also among the many thousands of young men—Yeomen and Volunteua-no,. the country for routh Africa, iooaen the bonds of discipline, affect their morale—a'l such impor- tant factors in all armies—and almost put them into a, state of blus funk before starting than such unwarrantable statei-perit:i of this kind? The truth is the amateur-military critic is the Present day "bpgey and such reckless and almost insane, statements made by the versatile member for Cardiff '.ead one to infer from his criticisms on the British officcr that he even ner'ains to the character of that illustrious and pantomime creation—the "bogey man"— in the guise of an amateur military critic. Certainly, whatever else the Dublic schools of England have done 'hey have Iriven Britain's Army-with brains or no I)rains-a host of manly, liigh-eouled, and heroic British gentlemen in the truest sense, thank God. and not a. pack of effeminate white baboo cads. It. may be possible that all the brainless asses from the public schools enter the Army. and tha versatile geninses all the other professions, including that of i journalism. Admitting that even a fair num- ber of officers 111 the present day—and these are only the fairly rich ones—leave the ser- i vice after a few years' service, many of them join either the Militia. Yeomanry, or Volunteers, and. no doubt, give a stiffening, as many of our Reservists do. to these corps. We have an exarap'o of hnn- dreds of these officers goinj out to South Africa with their regiments, besides others i officering our Colonial ''<->rps. so thnt, «ven this is not an cvi! but rather a blessing to us at the present juncture when trained officers axe so much required. If the system under which our officers are trained :s faivty. ch vnee it by all mean.?, or cut It out root and branch hereafter; but. for Heaven's sake, ,!or, ,t let us blame the officers. and try to lower them and their military status in the eyes of their countrymen no* that they are tig!;ting their country's battles, and pouring out their blood as hey have been doing in South Africa in such abundance. To sav they are brave, dashing leaders of men is simply a truism to the world at !a.^ge, and did not require the dictum of Cardiff's M.P. to sen! it-I am, Ac., J. SULLIVAN. I 35.

BHY31XEY MANAGER MEETS A DEPUTATION. Mr. Richard Evans, the manager of the Barry Railway Company. met a deputation of the men employed on that system on Thurs- day. Mr. Cornelius Landie, the geperal manager of the Ehymney, met his men on Friday, and the conference lasted for nearly three hours. Xo new terms were arrived at; as a matter of fact, the whole time was taken up with a discus-ion upon condition: of labour, to which Mr. Lundie could not reply without putting the demands seriatim before the directors The Taff Vale and Cardiff Railway Companies have not reen fit to adopt thatron- ci!iatory tacti-,3 of the Barry and Hhyinney, or if they have the olive branch has been carefully concealed. POSITION UP TO DATE. "What's the position?" queried one of our representatives on meeting Mr. Holmes, tue railwayman's organiser, at Pontypridd yester- day. "Xot much new," was the reply. "The Rhym- ney men are meeting Mr. Lundie. the Rhymney Company's manager,, this (Friday) morn- ing, and Mr. Evans, the manager of the Barry Company. 1-as, as you know, given the Barry man an interview. 83 far the men have received no replies to their request for an interview from either the Cardiff Railway or the Taff Vale Railway Company. So. you eee, .-the whole responsibility now rests on Mr. Hur- man and Mr. Beasley, and if they persist in not granting an interview to the men, then the Rhymney and the Barry Railway men will have no alternative but to assift the men on the Taff Vale and Cardiff Railways." "How?" "By handing in their notices with the Taff Vale and Cardiff men." "What about your prospects?" "Weli. I have been around the men during the week, and all I say is that they feel far more determined to fight this matter to the end than they were even on Sunday last. They feal they have adopted every reasonable means now. I may add that we have received a number of notices since last Sunday." "Of course, yon have two days yet to receive the replies of the Taff and Cardiff Railway managers?" "Ye; and if we don't receive them by Sun- day the joint committee of the men meet at the Hotel Metropole. Cardiff, on that day, and they have, as you know, been empowered to hand in the notices to the masters if they think it expedient." "And if neither the Taff Vale nor Cardiff Railway manager replies?" "Then we hav no alternative but to hand in the notices on Monday. On the other hand, if we receive repliee-well, you may assume that such a conne will not he adopted. I would like to add that the statement that Mr. Bell had zelected the delegates for the men's deputation is totally untrue. All he did was to submit the names which were supplied him by Mr. Moses Jones, our joint secretary. The delgates were selected by the men themselves. and Mr. Bell had nothing to do with their I selection."
COLLIERY WORKS FLOODED NEAR…
COLLIERY WORKS FLOODED NEAR TOXNA. BEMARKABLI MIDNIGHT SCENE. Late on Friday evening the inhabitants of Aberdula j and Tohna, two villages situated about three miles from Neath, werte startled by the news that the old Wenallt Colliery had been flooded. It appears that these workings have been closed up for many years, and it is supposed that the air 10 the new workings forced large quantities of water into the old pit. The water rushed into the road leading to the village of Tonna, where it caused damage to the houses known as the Tip Houses, near the Great Western Railway sta- tion. In one case-that of kr. Joseph Hop- kins—the damage is estimated at XSO. as the flooring gave way, taking all the furniture and other things with it. This also occurred in other houses. A large quantity of poultry was drowned, and. a couple of pigs had a. hard -wim for their lives. During the night num. bers of men were at work making a channel for the water to flow through, other men lighting them *ith torches. There for- tunately. no loss of life.'

. ON THE THRESHOLD OF CONSCRIPTION.
ON THE THRESHOLD OF CONSCRIPTION. "Pearsoiil,-s Illustrated War News" pub- lishes a startling announcement to the fol- lowing effect: "In the issue of the -Illustrated War News' dated January 6 of this year we were the first newspaper in the kingdom to declare that we were on the threshold of conscription. We said that the Militia jaailot Act would come into force in March or Aoril-if not 'before. It is coming before. Nobody believed our news. No- body took the slightest notice of the'por- tentous announcement we made. We have it now on the very highest authority that on the 14th of this month it will be necessary to put the Militia Ballot Act into force. Lord Roberts has cabled for 90.000 more men to be sent out to him. The Government of the country has responded nobly, and has cabled back that thoy shall be forthcoming. Forty thousand men will be sent from the Militia Reserves. Fifty thousand men will-be -sent from the regular Militia and from the Volunteers. The Volunteer force is to be mobilised at once. The Militia Ballot Act means that every unmarried man in this country between the ages of eighteen and thirty years is liable to serve for five1 years. At the pre- sent moment the announcement that will officially acquaint the nation with this fact is being rattled! off, the Government print- ing machines. and is to be ready at twenty- four hours' notice. The Government meanwhile calls for tenders for 95.000 suits of khaki. A Cabinet meeting is called for to-day (Friday), when all matters relating to this announcement will be considered." So far as the above statement is con- cerned (says the "St. James's Gazette"), we have already expressed the view that for the purpose of overcoming tly, Boer power in South Africa no further addi- tion is required to cur forces already sent out. Should, however. 90,0110 more men be wanted, they will. no doubt, be forth- coming. They will not, however, bp called out to meet the Boers in the field, but wiH probably be employed in the work of keepipg open communications, and in other field operations, the result of which will be to provide ys with a trained mili- tary force, seasoned bv modern warfare, such as no European Power can boast at the present time. The Central News understands that the new scheme of Army organisation wiil be on progressive lines. developing the strength of the establishment, though th reforms will in particular nrovide for thoso peculiar needs in artillery and mounted infantry brought into nrominence bv the war in South Africa. The scheme will not be either colossal or sensational.

° FOOTBALL. Welsh Athlete's Gossip. Penj^rraig haxc hQpeh-Qf beating their old rivals Treherbert to-day. What has become of the Llwynypia A team? They are very fond of resting on Saturdays now. Llanelly play Aberavon to-day, without Ben Davies. His place will be taken by Ned Jenkins. Barry, the Mountain Ash full-back, goes to South Africa. A heavy blow for the Mountain Ash Club. It i? whispered that Morgan Williams is desirous of resigning the captaincy of the Llanelly team. Llanell.v have not yet lost a match on their own ground. Who will be first to smudge the ground record? While on tour Llanelly played Devonport and Barnstaple, and lost on both occasions. Buck up, carIets Newport, and Cambridge University will antagonise this season after all. A match has been arranged for Tuesday next. Llew Deere, the sprinter of Mountain Ash, will not have the pleasure of playing against Willie Llewellyn to-day, as on former occa- sions. A. F. HaTding, the sterling forward of Llwyn- ypia. has been accepted and has passed the tests for the Yeomanry. He will probably leave on the 8th. W. J. Sturgess, the British amateur chain- pion walker, has been enrolled in the Mont- gomeryshire Yeomanry for active service in the South African campaign. Mid-Rhondda people believe that Llew Deere will never re-place W. M. Llewellyn in the Welsh team after the splendid way Llewellyn scored his two tries on Saturday last at Swan- sea. Thornley. the new Llwynypia three-quarter. had the misfortune to break his eoliar-bone whilst playing last week at Cardiff. Llwyny- pia cannot afford to lose such a useful man now that Willie Llewellyn is away. Here's a suggested valentine from Lloyd and Phillips, the Newport halves, to Gillespie and Fasson. the Scottish pair, after their experience in the international contest:- "Chase us, boys; we've got the leather." The many friends of Ben Davies. Llanelly s famous half, ,l learn with regret that he is prostrate with the prevailing epidemic. He will be unable to play for the scarlets to-day. In the Llanelly v. Barnstaple match a Barn- staple man acted as referee. And thereby hangs a tale. Bearing this in mind, it is not surprising that Llanelly lost. The last tonr of the Llanelly team was not very successful from a playing point of view, the two matches being lost. Socially, howeyer, the tour was a great success. We can quite believe this. Junior football is at a great discount in Llanelly just now. If we except the Crusaders and the Moonlights, there is not a local team of any standing in existence. Among the men at the front just now is Trooper Keenan, who 13 with Lord Methuen. He is a brother of Phil Keenan, the well- known Llanelly forward. Alcwyn Jones, who plays-centre for Llanelly, has now returned to IAmp-eter College. It is expected, however, that he will appear in the scarlet jersey against Newport. Mr. Harry Bowen. of Llanel'y. is reputed to be the most able referee in South Wales. Mr. Bowen is now chairman of the club for which, in his playing days, he rendered such yeoman service. Jimmy Green is to be given a trial at half for Pontypridd to-day. "Jimtny" played a good game once, and when Pontypridd were going strong dropped a goal, and won the match against Swansea. This was nbnut five years ago. and when Jimmy came home he was shouldered through the town. Just at present, and for some weeks to come, the Poatypridd Hockey Club have some- thing to go on with. To-day they are away with Cardiff Firsts, next Saturday with Car- diff Seconds. and the following Saturday they meet Newport. The Pontypridd Seconds are still dead, and up to the present there are no signs of a resurrection. It is suggested "that this is a favourable opportunity for other local teams to arrange terms for renting the Taff Vale Park. The Mountain Ash Juniors say they are a "dead ,nip" for the "Glamorgan Times" League Cup this season. "GLAMORGAN TIMBS" JUNIOR FOOTBALL TJEAOTTK Positions up to and ineltiding Januarv 27. P. W. D. L.

Blaina liist Saturday. lie also loirally came to play for his team sooner than go to Swansea, and he led the forwards throughout the game splendidly. A correspondent wants to know how the papers can entiiuse as they do over the Welsh backs on last Saturday's form. The ball was coming out nine out of ten ttnesi on the Welsh side of the scrum, and yet there was only one try scored from passing in the second half. Dan Harris has at last decided to throw in his lot with the Newport Club. It is doubtful promotion from Brynmawr to Newport Seconds (says a correspondent.) There are not many better forwards in Monmouthshire than Brynmawr's ex-captain, and he has the good wishes of all true sportsmen. Blaina are going to pieces. They wiil lose their reputation for being good "stickers" if they allow internal quarrels to continue. The Pontymoile-Brynmawr match was a scramble, varied by penalties, warnings, and soft tries. Tredegar is the be3t-trained team in the Monmouthshire League. I am told. They have now secured a building for weekly practice. W. James. Newport's old centre, played for Abergavenny last Saturday. There is still a lot of football left in W. G., and there is one team in the Monmouthshire League who could do with him very well. Lil. Jones, Blaina's cx-captain, played in Brynmawr the other day, and was as dashing and powerful' as ever. W. Parfitt, Newport's forward, has been laid np with influensa. He has come on-a lot this season, and. being strong and heavy, hs is a very usefill man to have on one's side. Dan Harris has left Brynmawr to-play for Newport Seconds. If there are many better forwards than Dan in the firsts Newport have a very smart pack. There will be no matches at Pontypridd until the 24th inst.. when the Pontypridd Firsts will take on Ehhw Vale. Thsir league match v ith Pontypridd to-day fortnight, is being looked forward to. Trooper W. T. Jones, who is going to Son-h Africa with the Glamorgan Imperial Yeo- manry. is an active member of the Trefonst Cycling Club. On Thursday evening his Durne. rous frienns presented him. at the Queen Ade- laide Hotel, Treforest, with a pair of fiel 1 glasses, Mr Walter T. Griffiths, Machine House, one of the viopresidents of the club, making the presenttt,ion. What a ciip:tal game Llanelly and Devonport Albion gave last Saturday, and what a rare lot cf sticklers the .tin-platers are. They scored a capital try through Ludwig fsays a Plymouth correspondent), and then kept Albion, who were playing rara good football, from scoring for .a lon: time. Devonport Albion's two tries were beauties, and both were obtained by brilliant rounds of passing. It reminded ou-- West of England correspondent of the Cardiff match a couple of years ago. Gamlin, the international back, turned out for Albion on Saturday. He is now in a per- manent- situation in the town, and desired to assist Albion in preference to Plymouth. There is every probability that the once- threatened clashing of international, fixtures at Belfast on March 17, ivhere, and when the Wales v. Ireland Rugby contest and the Eng- land v. Ireland Assejciation match were both 8«t for decision, will, happily, be avoided. It was obvious to the ruling authorities of the sister codex in the Green I'Ile tha.t such air | arrangement would seriously militate against the success, from a. financial point of view at least, of the respective ini/er-country meetings. Accordingly, an effort is being made to re- move the venue of the Soccer fixture to Dubr, lin, the Lansdowne-road ground having been I offered for the purpose. i Aibion Reserves have so far won the whole of their engagements. They have played 22 matches, and won the lot. W. H. Morgan, Xreharris, late, pf Barry, and D. Lewis, Nelson, have again been matched to rup. The stakes are £ 40. The race to take place at Nelson on February 17. A. Evans has been granted his transfer at last from Trelewis to Nelson. The services of a couple of members of the t-cla.il James have again been requisitioned by the Broughton Rangers. Sam James figuring at half, and D. James at full back, the latter with a -good measure of success, his defence being reputed excellent. (-Altee More" Hoskins is the way a Northern newspaper refers to the old Moun- tain Ash wing three-quarter, now playing with Salford. Durham County. after their South Wales and West of England tour, played their first fixture on Saturday, meeting and heating Northunberland by two goals, two tries. The scoring was opened by Griff. Lewis, the old Dowlais forward, now of West Hartlepool, who notched a clever try. To-day's international match will the 28th meeting between Wales and Scotland at Asso- ciation football. So far, the Leek has never vanquished the Thistle, but three drawn games have been played. May good fortune favour us at Aberdeen. Welshmen are hoping that A. Grenville Morris, the clever Builth and Notts Forest'for- ward, will be as successful for his country against Scotland in the scoring line as he was with the First Leaguers in their English Cup- tie with Grimsby last Saturday. Owing to indis- position. Morris was a doubtful starter until shortly before the match. It was a fortunate thing he was included in the eleven, for the Foresters would have done badly without him. As it was, he was easily the best forward on the field, and, moreover, scored all three goals to the credit of his side, and at the same time worked most unselfishly. F. Griffiths, of Blackpool, who will keep goal for Wales against Scotland, is Preston North End's league player. This will be his first cap, and. although a trustworthy custodian, his I .selection over Jimmy Trainer, the hero of twenty Welsh internationals, is looked upon ¡ with great disfavour in certain quarters, and regarded as a Tmost inexplicable to those who I know how well the "Prince of goal-keepers" is shaping jast now. Wales's best year at Association football was in 1895. when she did not lose a single inter- national match. Neither did she win one. for the games with all three countries, England. Scotland, and Ireland, were drawn. So she held an untarnished sheet. All honour to the "Princes of Wales" (observes the "Scottish Referee") and their second triumph, which, we think, will become a third, and the "Princes" after their defeat of Ireland will be crowned Kings f the Rugby sphere. "These are exciting time3," writes a Scotch correspondent. "Last Saturday morning it was the evacuation of Spion Kop. and in the evening the defeat of the laddies at Swansea. Little wonder this is an age of intemperance." Phillips, the Welsh medical student, has been superseded by Fasson, the international half, in the Edinburgh University XV. This is dis- tinctly rough on Phillips. who has played a sterling game all through the season, and helped materially to constitute a record un- paralleled in the annals of the university. The Welshman could certainly not give a weaker exhibition at the fringe of the scrum than did Fasson when doing duty for his country at Swansea. The critic of the "Scottish Referee" was greatly enamoured of Gwyn Nicholls's play in the Welsh three-quarter itne, and this is how he delivers himself:—The presence of Gwyn Nicholls had the effect of steadying and solidi- fying the whole back division, and the Welsh- Australian himself- gave a display which will not readily be forgotten. As a tactician we have never seen his equal, a.nd we can safely say that three of the four tries scored were directly due to his admirable judgment and passing. Merthyr still maintains its position at the head of the billiard league of the Constitu- tional Club of the Merthyr and Rhondda Valley electoral divisions, the able of which now stands as follows: — I Played. Won. Lost. Points. Merthyr 5 4 1 4 Mountain Ash. 6 4 2 4 Perudate. 6 4 2 4 Aberdare. 6 2 4 2 ipowi&is 5 0 5 0 The Plymouth papers speak highly of C. Powell's play. fowell assisted Llanelly against the Devonport Albion% on Saturday last. He did not. however, play for them in the Barn- staple match on the Monday. The scarlet forwards let the "wearers of the red" down on Saturday last. C. Powell wished that he were playing behind the Neath pack. Next week Neath meet Aberavon at home. What a chance for revenge! Twice the teams have met this season. The first game ended in a draw, and the second in an easy win for Aberavon. On that occasion Neath played seven substitutes. With a representative team next week the verdict might be reversed. I learn that an extra fixture has been arranged between Neath and Llanelly this season. That being poo, the teams will have met five times by the end'of the season. The Neath Management Committee are mak- ing the coin go. I hope their enterprise will be rewarded. They have just accepted the tender of Messrs. Snow, masons, for the con- struction of a nine-foot wall along the boun- dary in Gnoll Park-road. The cost of the erec- tion will be about £140. Mrs. Andrews' field has been taken over. and I hope ere long we shall be able to boast of an up-to-date recrea- tion ground. Weather like Friday, and Treorky will be warm to-day. Ugh! The Neath Excelsiors, after a long period of rest, due. perhaps, to the Christmas festivities, are again emerging from their shell. To-day they play that smart little team, Dingle, Mor- riston. Moxley's game in the Bath match was quite different, from that which he played in the encounter with Bridgend. In the former he played a fast and untiring game; in the latter -well, never mind.' Moxley is an excellent for- ward when he likes—and occasionally he doesn't. That's all! I am. afraid that. C. Powell's chances of international honours are rather remote this season. But he is young and can afford to wait. His unquestionable ability is bound to. be recognised. Mr. Tudor Davies. of the "Sportsman," was one of the happiest men on St. Helen's Ground on Saturday last. He was delightetl with the play of the Welshmen. Mr. Walter Rees is rather disappointed with the financial result of the game of Saturday last. Well, it might have been better, but, then, the Union has plenty of money at its back. Neath should have some big gates in March, for in that month they play at home Swan- sea. Bridgend, Llanelly, and Cardiff. New guarantors keep on smiling. Better days are coming soon. So wipe your shiney eye, Ac. Neath play the return match agtmst Bath on Easter Tuesday—the last match ol the sea- son. It seems rather early to be talking about cricket just yet, but isn't it nearly time that steps should be taken by the. Neath manage- ment committee? Last season we only had an apology for a cricket club. Let's have the peal thing this time. What has become of Owen Harris? His name doeij not appear in the selected team to reJJresent Neath this week. Wonder il' he has had another accident? Jem Hannen, the old Newport forward, had been selected to play for the old 'uns to-day. and would have turned out but for a bad cold. His substitute. W. Parsons, although not -an old Welsh cap, was a rare good for. ward in his time, perhaps is so still. The Newport old players, who are turning out to-day against the present-day fifteen, have been in bush training, and some of them very much fancy their ychanee of winning. Newport's fixture with Cambridge University, postponed from Deoember (5, takes place at Cambridge on Tuesday next. Although the Newport gates have appeared so much smaller this season than formerly. I am told that up to date the failing off of the revenue is not more than about ClO as com- pared with last season. The rigid enforce- ment of the rules as to members' and season tickets at the matches, though, doubtless, causing some flutter at. the opening of the season, has got rid of a lot of laxity. Though the Newport Club had no first-team fixture on the day of the Scottish inter-

national match, it had one on ihe English fixture day at Gloucester, and also has one when Wales meets Ireland on March 17. On this latter date Blackheath are due at New- port, and the Usksiders can ill afford to spare their two best forwards and their halves. I The Swansea team to meet Penarth is fully representative. except that Boh Thomas stands down, and Arthur Jones will probably take his place in the forwards. The match excites iittle interest down the line. as PenartH are not supposed to be strong enough this season to seriously challenge the all whites' supre- macy. Mountain Ash have been training well this week to be in good form against Llwynypia to-day, and Penygraig at Mountain Ash on the 10th, as both games will certainly be tough ones. There is absolutely no truth in the rumour that Fred Millar is going to Hull. He has been approached by the Northern Union club, and has been offered great inducements, but he says he will not go at any price. Millar is aim at Mountain Ash. Jack Deere has been approached by the Hull club, and has gone "up North" to have a look round, but he is expected back in time to play against Llwynypia. Llew Deere was the great attraction, but when the Hull club found 1 that he would have nothing to do with them, their thoughts turned td Millar and Jack Deere. Out of eleven committeemen of the Mon- mouthshire League, three are practical foot- ballers. These are I. Games. Abercarn; W. James. Crumlin; and Henry Phillips, Ponty- mister. mister. Lieutenant H. T. Edwards, who has joined Ihe Glamorganshire Yeomanry, now under orders for the front. is a vice-president of the Pcnty- mister Football Club. His football friends wish him God-speed and a safe return. Jimmy Jones, the old Pontymister centre, will assist his Rugby friends to-day against Cwmbran. Buller. Williams holds the record for forwards again this season for scoring tries. With the try he scored in the international match, it brings his number up to a dozen.
