fOR WOMEN FOLK
fOR WOMEN FOLK Homely Hints & Dainty Dishes. WITH PARS. INTERESTING TO THE MERE MAN. Yellow soap should be bought in large lQuantitie8, cut up into squares, and kept in a dry place. If the tea-kettle, pan, or basin boils dry, pour boiling water into it; never cold water. If done at once, this will prevent cracking. I To save darning and to increase the wear of children's stockings, put a piece of wash- leather at the back of their shores. This pre- vents the shoes slipping at the heel. To remove match marks from a polished or tarnished surface, rub with a piece of cut lemon, and afterwards with a rag dipped in water, and the stains will disappear. To distinguish mushrooms from poisonous fungis. springle a little salt on the spongy part, or gills, to be tried. If they turn yellow they are poisonous; if black, they are whole- some. Clean stair-rods by washing them with soap and water, and then polishing them with any brass polishing fluid, or with an oily cloth dipped into finely-powdered rotteustone. Stewed Oysters Ingredients: Twelve oysters, one egg. three- quarters of an ounce of butter, half a tea- spoonful of flour, one and a half gill of milk, a.' few drops of lemon-juice, pepper, and salt. Beard the oysters, melt the butter in a saucepan; stir the flour into it. Then add the milk, a. few drops of lemon-juice, and a seasoning of pepper and salt. Let this boil. Then put in the yolk of egg an<t the oysters. Make the latter quite hot without boiling. Serve with small pieces of toast placed round. Oysters Baked in their Shells Ingredients: One dozen oysters, one raw egg, two tablespoonfulsof white breadcrumbs, one teaspoonful (about) butter, salt, pepper, nutmeg, quarter of a. lgnjop. After opening the (;ysters, remove^fchf f"beards or fringes. Dip each one in the beaten egg. and cover it with some of the crumbs that have pre- Tioosly been mixed with salt. pepper, aud grated nutmeg. Re-place the oysters in their deel) shells; put a tiny piece of butter on the top of each. Bake in a quick over till a pale brown. Then squeeze over a drop or two of lemon-juice. Serve in the shells imme- diately on a folded serviett. The Discoloured Frying Fat In many houses is considered unfit for use. "and" so thrown away. which really is waste. for, with care, it may be made perfect again. This discolouration is due to the burning crumbs. Ac.. which have fallen off fish, ris- aoles, Ac. To keep the fat nice. it is a good plan to cut a potato in thin slices, and fry it after the fish, Ac., then strain the fat into a clean pan. Another plan is to add a quart of warm water, in which half a tea- spoonful of carbonate of soda is dissolved. to the melted fat, stir it thoroughly, and when it has boiled a few minutes remove the scum. The water must not be added to the fat when it is very hot, or it will make it "boil over. Turn the fat and water into a large basin, and set aside till next day. Then remove the cake of fat, scrape off all impuri- ties and discolourations, pour away the water, and put it again on the fire to melt; let it remain untouched till the bubbling has ceased, which will show the water has evapo- rated, then pour on the clear fat through muslin, leaving any residue that has fallen from it in the pan. After This process the fat will be fit to use again, and will be im- proved by the addition of A fresh supply of nice sweet clarified fat. It is wonderful how much money may be saved in the kitchen if details like the above are looked after by the cook or housekeeper. SAVOURY FILLETS OF WHITING. Put three tablespoonfuls of salad oil into & small basin, and add by degrees, while stir- I ring all the time, a dessertspoonful of white 1 wine vinegar and a dessertspoonful of tarra- gon vinegar, then pour it into a pie dish. and add a saltspoonful of freshly ground black pepper, about half the quantity of grated nut- meg. and a pinch of cayenne. Dip some fillets of whiting in the mixture, then arrange I them in the pie dish, one on the top of the ¡ other, with some thin slices of onion between, ( and leave them for two or three hours. Then I take the fish out of the pickle, wipe it, flour it lightly, and, after brushing it over with beaten egg, cover it thickly with fine dry white bread crumbs which have been seasoned with j celery salt and black pepper, and leave it for a quarter of an hour for the crumbs to harden. ( Have ready a stewpan containing plenty of I boiling fat I there should be sufficient to 1 entirely cover the fish and a faint smoke should be rising before it is put in), immerse 1 a, few fillets at a time in it. then very slightly ( reduce the heat so that the crumbs may not become too dark by the time the fish is done, I and dry the fillets on paper in a warm oven t as they are taken from the pan. The fish f should be served with tarragon sauce, which, in its simplest form, is made by stirring a i dessertspoonful of tarragon vinegar gradually 1 into half a pint of creamy melted butter 1 ( sauce, after taking the pan from the stove.— ] "The Lady." s

.MURDER OF MISSIONARIES.I
MURDER OF MISSIONARIES. CHINESE GOVERNMENT GIVE SATISFACTION. A Peking message to the Times" says that China has yielded fully to the demands of the British Minister that the six officials respon- sible for the murder of two British mis- sionaries at Chen'-chau in Hu-Nan shall be severely punished. An Imperial decree which has been issued condemns the military official who closed his yamen against the escaping missionary to summary decapitation, and the other military official to decapitation after imprisonment. The prefect of the city is sen- tenced to five years' banishment, and is for ever forbidden to hold office. The other officials are condemned to various terms of banish- ment. China undertakes to pay compensation and to erect a memorial at the scene of the murder. The edict is correctly worded, and is regarded as satisfactory. Some British warships were recently despatched up the River Yang-tsze to Han- Kau in connection with this difficulty.

FRENCH COAL STRIKE.
FRENCH COAL STRIKE. A combined meeting at Arras on Saturday of the colliery owners of the Pas de Calais and delegates representing the strikers lasted eight hours. The colliery owners evinced a conciliatory disposition on most of the ques- tions at issue, but declared that the sale price of coal did not allow of any increase of salary to the hands, and the delegates expressed a hope that the question would be settled by arbitration. Another message says:—After considerable discussion it was found that those present were in agreement upon all the points in dis- pute with the exception of~fhe question of the rates of wages. In order to prevent a reference to arbitration and the consequent delay in the settlement of the conflict, the representatives of the colliery companies I offered to make important concessions in the matter of wages. The men's delegates were unwilling to accept these concessions, believ- ing it to be their duty to have the dispute in its entirety referred to arbitration failing a complete agreement by negotiation.—Cen- tral News. The strikers' delegates and representatives of the Compagnies du Nord had an interview on Sunday afternoon, at which the companies agreed to the principle of arbitration. The question of reduction of wages will be sub- mitted to arbitration, but not that of a. minimum wage, the companies having declined to accede to this. The decision of the arbitrators will be tina1.-Reuter.
BISHOP OF NEWPORT ILL.
BISHOP OF NEWPORT ILL. SUDDEN INDISPOSITION OF HIS LORDSHIP. A large congregation had assembled at St. Peter's Church. Cardiff, at eleven o'clock on Sunday, as it had been announced that the Pishop of Newport would sing Pontifical High Mass and make his episcopal visitation. Bishop Hedley was. however, not present. His lordship had been to the Presbytery on Saturday afternoon, arranging the details for the services, but on his way home he was taken ill. He had still hoped to be able to :ome on Sunday afternoon to administer the Sacrament of Confirmation, but in the morn- .ng Father Hayde received a letter to say that the bishop was too ill to come. He has. how- ever. promised, if at all able, to carry out his risitation next Sunday.
LORD METHUEN AND THE S.W.…
LORD METHUEN AND THE S.W. BORDERERS. Lord Methuen. in speaking at the public reception given to him at Defizes last week, jave high praise to the South Wales Bor- ierers and their officers who served with aim. The South Wales Borderers Militia referred to returned from the Cape some nonths ago. A good deal was heard, said his ordship, regarding the regimental omcer. All ie could say was this—he took men as he found them. If any mistake had been com- nitted in the war. lay the blame on the right ihoulders. Do not lay it on the regimental jfficers. but npon the general. If the regi- nental officer was not so good all he ought to Je-and he Lord Methuen) said he was as food—do not lay the blame on the regimental )meer. bnt give him men sufficient to make lis command worthy of him; give him ground >ver which he might practise with a command worthy of him, and they might go the whole irorld through, but there was not a more oyal or a more noble fellow in England than he regimental officer. That old-standing brce of ours, the Militia, had had difficulties ,0 contend with. They had not had men snough. and. to be frank, we had not taken nterest enough in them. He regretted not laving had the Wilts County Regiment with lim. but he was proud of the two under his :ommand—the Bedfords and South Wales borderers. (Cheers.) There, again, he said, is the officer is so is the man. Officer your Klilitia regiment well, and you will have a rood regiment. Officer it badly, and you will nake nothing of it.
SHORTNESS OF BREATH.
SHORTNESS OF BREATH. Shortness of breath is a very common rouble from which many suffer. They cannot nove quickly without discomfort; ordinary exertion, such as a hasty movement or the :limbing of stairs, gives them most distress- ng discomfort. Many fail to connect this lymptom with the kidneys, and yet there is 10 doubt that in thousands of cases it is due o failing kidney power. Mr. C. Gosney. of Kidmere, Barn Green. ?osham, writing on May 50, 1902. gives an nteresting experience. He suffered from < oevere backache, pain at the side, and short- less of breath. Sometimes he felt so bad he < lid not know what to do. His condition was j uch that he could hardly keep to his work. ¡ ] telief only came with Dodd's Kidney Pills. I can say." he writes. Dodd's Kidney Pills lave entirely cured me; my breathing is all 1 ight. and I can work as well as ever." Dodd's Cidney Pills have cured thousands of such 1 ases. They cure the kidneys, and well kid- ] ieys make pure blood; the result is that dis- ressing symptoms of heart trouble disappear 1 fhen the strain is removed from that over- 1 worked organ. Make your kidneys well with )odd a Kidney Pills, and other distressing ymptoms quickly disappear. 1 Dodd's Kidney Pills are 2s. 9d. per box. of all I chemists, or post free on receipt of price by The Dodds Medicine Company. 23, Farringdon- ivenue.

INTIMIDATION CASES AT RISCA.
INTIMIDATION CASES AT RISCA. David Fletcher, Arthur Hiscoi, Frank His- cox, and Fred Hiscox, four young iron sheet- workers. were jointly charged at Newport County Police-court on Saturday Wfith assault- ing James Taylor, another young ironworker. Fred and Frank Hiscox were further charged with assaulting Richard Leech. Mr. Digby Powell appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Lyndon Moore defended. According to the prosecutors' story, two of the defendants had been discharged at the Pontymiater Steelworks, and the two com- plainants were engaged by the management to take their places. Leech and Taylor went to Risca from Newport on Monday last, and as they were proceeding to the works they were met by the defendants, who told them they had no right to come and take their places. The complainants endeavoured to explain matters to the men, and just as they were; doing so the defendants struck them. They afterwards followed Leech and Taylor into the works and again assaulted them. Taylor, in particular, being very badly bruised about the face. In consequence of the disturbaaee-the newly-engaged men were in bodily fear of starting work for a few days. For the defence, it was argued that two of the men had acted as "peacemakers." and that the complainant Taylor had sustained the injuries to his face by falling on the railway in a scuffle. The Bench sentenced David Fletcher and Arthur and Fred Hiscox to one month's im- prisonment, with hard labour; while Frank Hiscox was fined £5. or fourteen days, and farther boond over to keep the peace for six months.

Sarah Musgrove and Selina Rushbrook were charged at Bridgend, Police Court on Satur- day with stealing a watch from the person of William Howells, of Coity, whilst he was at the York Hotel on the 30th of August, and Ebenezer Rushbrook was charged with receiv- ing the watch, knowing it to be stolen pro- perty.—Inspector Evans proved tracing the watch and arresting the prisoners. All three were sentenced to one month's hard labour. At the close of the case the Inspector com- plained of the conduct of a Maesteg pawn- broker named Edward Kern, with whom the watch had been pawned. He had told the police on their making inquiries that he knew nothing about the watch. The last enqpiry was made on the day the prisoners were ¡ v* arrested, and he then denied having received it. Further inquiries were made with the result that the pawnbroker brought the watch 1 to Bridgend, and the chairman of the justices 1 Mr. William Llewellyn) severely reprimanded him, and said if he were not more careful he, too. would find himself in the prisoner's dock.

11 FOOTBALL NOTES. —— THE NEWPORT AND CARDIFF VICTORIES. [i [BY FORWARD.' ] There are two more records to be broken, j and Saturday at Uskside will be a great oppor- 1- tunity for the mourning-card monger. One of the two—barring a drawn game—is bound g to go. Which? We shall see. By their per- formance against Leicester Newport fairly i captivated their supporters, and even the f stoicism ri our Newport critic melted into an I. exuberant enthusiasm for once. Swansea's dis- 1 play against-Aberavon did not give quite the i same measure of satisfaction, and it was not 1 until the closing stages cf the game that the i whites managed to get their passing ) machinery into working order. While the Usk- I., siders showed greatly improved play Swansea's form fell below that exhibited against Car- diff. The effect of this is to give pause to e those of us who felt a week ago like going nap on Abertawe. and the issue now is more iu doubt than ever. There is every indication that the struggle will be one of the keenest ever seen between the two best teams of the season. October was a disastrous month for I Llanelly. Out of six matches played in that month they lost three, and opened November with a fourth defeat. The effect of four matches within seven days was palpable in the poor form sliown by the scarlets on Saturday, and ought to be taken as a salutary lesson by the committee in their future arrangement of-Matches. Had they come up to Cardiff less fagged than they were the probability is that they would have averted defeat, if they would not have actually won. for nothing told against them so much as their want of fitness. Swansea, as I have already stated, were slow in getting into their etfide at Aberavon. but still they won by the substantial margin of sixteen points. By so doing they exceeded popular expectation. Aberavon being recog- nised as a difficult lot to beat on their own ground at any time. In the Glamorgan League tournament Llwynypia came a heavy cropper at Mtteeteg. where they scored only a try against the two goals and three tries of their opponents. Pengraig climbed up another rung on the league ladder by beating Treher- hert by a single point, and although this suggests but a slight superiority it appears that they were clearly the better team of the two. I am promising myself a visit to Belle Yue one of these days. Neath had a stiffer game than they antici- pated with Pembroke County, and a peculiar feature of the match was that, whereas the victors scored five tries in the first half, they failed to cross the county line once in the second portion. Penarth satisfied their sup- porters by an eight point victory over Bath. but Bridgend sank deeper in the slough of despond through their defeat by Whitchurch. This stands as the unkindest cut of all, and is quite out of joint with the brighter tradi- tions of the Bridgend team. Treorky had very little the better of the argument with Cil- fynydd. and, judged on their performances in the aggregate this season, it is hard to under- stand how they triumphed over Treherbert. But they did it. Cardiff's victory ought to have the effect of making the outlook more hopeful than it was a week ago. They will have to play better than they did against Llanelly to win their most important matches, for 1 they scarcely deserved a lead of ten points on the general run of the play. I have every confidence that tbey are capable of playing a better game than they did, but before the team can be considered to have settled down to their best work it will be necessary for | another centre to take the place of Winfield. He is out of his proper position, and cannot, tie expected to hit it off with his co-centre and 1 his wing as well as a player who has been trained as a centre three-quarter. The Cardiff forwards on Saturday flayed 1 with any amount of robustness and determi- nation, and were better than the Llanelly J eight in the loose. Bat they have yet to J learn the trick of smart, clean heeling of the í ball. The Llanelly haves were better served than the Nortons, and had White and Roberts 'been equal to their opportunities the Llanelly three-quarters might easily have been in a I position to score on more than one occasion. Without attempting the making of an opening they passed the ball to Gabe nearly every j time they had it. and Nicbolls spotting i the weakness of sach tactics, made ft im- < Iktlsible by. his fine tackling for Gabe to J become dangerous in attack. Of course, it < must be remembered" that this was the first 1 time for White and Roberts to play together < in the Llanelly teami and under the circum- stances they did not make such a bad show. < Roberts is rather a clever lad, who ought to acquire without much difficulty the knack of breaking through after receiving the ball from his partner. < A marked improvement was noticeable in 1 the play of Cecil Biggs, who showed more I cleverness and resource than in any previous match this season. Thomas, on the other wing, showed a disposition to hesitate, and ] had he swerved instead of checking his speed < and trying to dodge the Llanelly full-back he < wQitfld have scored more than one try: With, experience he may easily get out of this fault < and prove himself a serviceable player. ] Nicholls did not have triany chances in attack, < but his defence, as usual; was great, and Gabe < would probably be the first to bear testimony ) to this. Arnold played prettily and pluckily ] on the Llanelly left wing, and was 1 nnlucky in failing to score. Harry < Jones did very well in the centre, but ) neglected his wing on the few occasions the 1 ball came into his hands. Llanelly, like Car- 1 diff. had better make up their minds to settle 1 upon one permanent centre to play with r Gabe. t c The Llanelly pack can be improved by the ] inclusion of D. L. Bowen. Phil Keenan, and Ike Lewis. I airi told they are available. Dan Walters worked hard to rally his men by force ] of example, but the seven others made only a half-hearted response. I have no doubt that 1 the spirit was willing, but that tour had 1 ta.ken all the steam out of them, and their play suffered accordingly. With two good ] halves, a few changes in front, and a capable ( substitute for Alcwyn Jones, Llanelly can be made as strong a team as they were at their best last season. There is I nothing to be said of the forwards ( individually on either side. Some were 1 not so good as others, but none showed t anything above club form. Cardiff deserved ( their win, bat once, and not twice, across the line would have sufficed as a reflex of the ( general trend of the plAJ^ Four games in a week is too much of a good, thing fwrites a Llanelly critic), and the effect could te seen plainly in the play of our men 1 to-day. They were half-hearted and indiffe- '€ rent, and did not seem to care whether they 1 won or lost. 2 The forwards were stale, and were nearly f always flurried when they got the ball between them ia the loose. Dan Walters did hid best to rally his men, but there was not much of a> response. Our half-backs did not make many serious I mistakes, except.in occasional wild passing, but one could have forgiven them for many errors if they had only made a few openings t for the three-quarters. They are young and i inexperienced, and unless better men turn up 1 suddenly the committee will be justified in t giving them a further trial, rather than fall- ( ing back on G- Davies and R. Jones. 1 I Gabe had no chance in1 the centre. Nicholls 1 watched him too closely.1-tind it is sheer bun- i kum to condemn a centte three-quarter who plays under similar (ircuIDstances to those ( which handicapped Gabe so much to-day. ] The Nortons are very little, if at all. superior to our youngsters at half. ] They did not bring off the Dick Jones and Llewellyn Lloyd trick once throughout the whole game, and I must say. as a Llanelly man, that I was disappointed not to see better passing .by the Cardiff backs. Nicholls did 'I practically nothing beyond kicking and tack- ling well. He is not the man he was in c attack. s £ Winfield is not a centre three-quarter, and f I should say that the sooner a good partner t can be found for Nicholls in that position the 1 better will it be for the Cardiff team. s Llanelly cannot complain of their defeat, but Cardiff were not ten points better than them. The referee's decision in awarding c Thomas a try was a very questionable one, in f my opinion. He did not touch the ball down t at all, and the Llanelly man who pushed him over the hall as he was falling was quite justi- fied in doing so. Anyhow, it makes no dif- ference to the actual result as it is nor as it 8 ought to be aocording to the play. s v I did not think much of Thomas on the t wing. He did not play 30 good a game as the much-abased Cecil Biggs. He may be fast, but he has the fault of most sprinters—he does c not make the beet use of his speed in going 11 for the line. I Young's play at fall-hack was very fine, and b Bob Richards for LlaneUy was just as good. 11 I: The play from the spectators" standpoint c was not ap to the average level of prettiness b and interest. Cardiff were lucky to catch b the scaflets onari off-day. On their nofmal il form they would not have lost on Saturday, t a.nd might easilyhav^ Won. P e Newport are still pnrfeaing their victorious 8] wayt By beating Leicester on Saturday they j the publiC apatite for the B battle of the giants which will take place next Saturday—the meeting of Newport and Swansea on the Uekaide ground. Newport have already acoounted for, probably, the best representa- tives of English football by beating the Old Merchant Taylors, Gloucester, Blackheath, and Leicester. The engagement with Leicester on Saturday Was in every sense a most magnifi- cent game. Fast, brilliant, stylish—it was, in a word, everything that the meeting of two really first-class teams should be. At the out- set a very gensrous meed of praise is due to the vanquished. They were a great team, without donbt. After pcpinc them play, no one on the Newport ground could feci at all surprised how it is that Leicester have done so well this season. They most nearly approach of all the English teams the true ideal of the best Welsh play. But, great as their game was, Newport voee in true style to the height of the argument'and quite eclipsed themselves in this encounter. They were better against Blackheath on the former Saturday than th"y had been at all this season from its start, but in this game against Leicester they went one better than ever before. There is no mistaking their great prowess now. Of course, stiffer things yet await them. Next Saturday they have to meet Swansea, and then —well, those who live longest will see most. Now, the average spectator would be rather at a Joss to tell a friend exactly why Newport won. Perhaps, the true position was that indicated by a few of the Leicester men, who when leaving the ground candidly enough admitted that Newport beat them in the loose. There was certainly nothing to give away in the tight packs, but when the ball was given fresh air the home pack showed that they were rather the cleverer set. Leices- ter were strong and beefy in front, and could hold anything in the way of Uskside pushing, but their footwork was not so skilful. They were well served at half. Foreman especially being a tower of strength. Their three-quar- ters were by no means a one-man show. They were all evenly good. Perhaps, Hind, the triple Cambridge "Blue," on the left wing, who is the flyer of the team, hadn't quite so many clear fields given him as he would like, but he did well, as also did Jones in wonderful kick- ing. Newport played with splendid organised ability. Lloyd's openings and Hillman's tackling were great. The three-quarters worked smoothly and evenly, and the two tries which they obtained showed that they made at the critical time rather better use of their opportunities than Leicester did with the chances which went to them. Gould j scored his first try of the season with a fine, determined effort. He set his teeth and went f ).• the line with both vigour and judgment —judgment which led him to swerve inwards and evade the more dangerons tackle which threatened him. and vigour enough to heave himself over the line when other men would] have gone down. The other try was by Pear- 1 son, who played again a grand game. It seems almost a pity to be compelled to say a word of adverse comment upon what was, ( generally speaking, so meritorious a display. But the truth must he told that on the day's ( form D. J. Boots, the home custodian, was occasionally weak in the matter of fielding and touch-finding. The game between Swansea and Aberavon £ at the latter place was a splendid open one. It aided the coffers of the 'Bravon Club and ] gave them a sight of good football. This was rendered possible by the evident determina- tion to adopt no do-or-die tactics, but to play an open gamc-at any rate, when in ] open territory. The result was a splendid game, in which the home team, although beaten father more severely than I expected. showed to considerable advantage, and proved themselves once more to be one of the 1 best teams in South Wales. t Swansea I have seen in better form. They were not so brilliant as against Cardiff, and v Lhe real effective machinery did not get to 1 work till late in the game. The team will, in 1 ny opinion (says my Swansea correspondent), s lave to 'ware Newport next Saturday, it t was difficult during the greater part of the t fame to say that Swansea were holding any t advantage over Aberavon at all except among r. :heir backs, and these were slow in scoring, i (Whether it was superb defence by Aberavon, c :he unevenness of their rank, unmown V ground, or the substitution of George Davies ? for Gordon in the centre, it certainly was a t 'act that Swansea's efforts at scoring were s ?ery frequently abortive. Several splendid ci things were baulked one after the other, and s :hen 'Bravon were seen rushing the leather d iway just when Swanesa promised to get to business. t At the same time, the Swansea team showed € iplendid form at times, and they gradually re- v gained all their old brilliance towards the end. ( íVhen a team puts on nineteen points to four it iii, perhaps, unnecessary to grumble, and it f is much pleasanter to reflect on the splendid efforts by which Jowett. Trew, Dick Jones, and Rees (especially the last, although Geo. Davies t Jererved at least as much credit for his tricky t run and pass) scored their tries. The Swansea Forwards, led by Serines and Syd Bevan, showed better form against the Aberavon eight c ihan a month back. For Aberavon, Lewis g rhomas. Edwards, and Ogley Harris were easily the best of the backs, and Brice and Buller" Rees of the forwards. Aberavon leserve every praise for their excellent effort, ;.nd, if I may be allowed to say so, they 1 taught Cardiff a lesson of fortitude and per- ] ieverance under difficulties. s I Tredegar disposed of Machen in the Mon- < mouthshire Lea-gu-s competition by four tries to nil. and this about represented the merits 3f the two teams. Machen showed up very i well in the earlier portion of the game, but] they were outw2ighted early in the second tialf, and their defence, good up till then, was < completely broken down. It was almost 1 entirely a forward game, the home team being < anable to bring off their usual effective back < ?lay on account of the disorganisation of the Lhree-quarter line. Hares, who played in the centre, scord-i a remarkable try, running right through from the visitors' 25. Watkins, who 1 ¡o,-ent on the wing, showed excellent dodging 1 lowers, and is rapidly becoming a class slayer. Vaughan. on the wing, did well, while P Jones, a junior: by no means let he team down, although ho has to gain I ;xperience. Bowden was the best of the tfachen backs, and has fine speed. Williams and Evans did capitally at half- 1 back for Tredegar, and got the ball away; smartly, and Davies and Smith for Machen !J flayed a very nice game. Davies in particular oeing very nippy. Both teams were well t served at full-back, Davies for Tredegar and t Berry for Machen doing a lot of hard work a effectively. I: t The Machen forwards were good in the 11 oose, kicked capitally, and in the earlier part a )f the game got the ball out well, but they .vere outplayed by the Tredegar pack once .hey got into their swing. It was in this b lepartment that Machen were badly beaten o luring the second half. 1: I: One of the best Rugby games seen in the C Rhondda for a long while was that played at s rreherbert between the home team and h 3enygraig. As a rule, matches in the Valley ire characterised by strong forward play, the three-quarters seldom showing to any great £ idvantage. But Saturday's game was in many vays a pleasant exception. Play was fast q rom beginning to end, and each team did its ? rery utmost to win. The absence of several regular players from both teams somewhat J ■educed the interest taken in the event, but it leemed to have no great effect on the play, fj Ind the enthusiasm of the spectators was in 11 10 way diminished. f' Penygraig clearly deserved to win, and their mperiority lay in the back departments. Good ;hree-quarter play was especially noticeable n their team. They experienced some mis- v 'ortune on several occasions in not crossing he Treherbert line, and but for Marchant's ( irop-goal it is quite probable that the home >eam would have been luckily victorious. Tre- lerbert also played very well right through, Dat if they mean to keep ahead of Penygraig a n the struggle for the League cup they will n lave to improve upon their display of Satur- II lay. Penygraig's prospects for first place are a low very bright, they having obtained nine 0 icints out of a possible ten. Treherbert, the n iresent cup-holders, have got two out of four Cl joints. 1: jl Treorky, who had an open date, gave a c ruarantee match to Cilfynydd. The match v vas of the most uninteresting character, being F vholly confined to the forwards, in which lepartment no brilliancy was exhibited. Play imongst the two packs in the tight was about c !Ven,"whilst the superior speed of the Treorky orwards gave them a distinct advantage in B he open, the most prominent being J. Phomas, Attwood, and G. Evans. For the 11 visitors Ryan, Williams, and Lloyd were con- ipicuous. a Of back play there was none. This was twing to the slowness of the halves, who T ailed to feed their three-quarters. Towards he close of the second half Jones and Evans ;ot into their stride, and the try by the former 0 iras a pretty bit of individual play. The fl martest back on the field was Bayliss, who p eems to be developing into a fine centre, a.nd vill prove a great acquisition to the Treorky earn. After the la.pse caused by the inter-league ontest matches were again resumed in the fonmouthshire League competition. Pill 0 farriers, with a strong team, visited' Cwm- wan. and despite the fact that the home for- rards got the ball repeatedly, the halves made n ittle use of their opportunities, and this. ei oupled with the fact that their backs used tE ad judgment in kicking to the Pill full- 11 ack, wore the pack down, so that after the p4 nterval the Dockers' three-quarters were con- w inua.lly on the move, and the fine defence of M 'enn saved more than one score. Pill, how- tl ver. fully deserved their win if by Seer's R, mart try only. Travers, Tamplin, and al Homas were a trio of be forwards, whilst w fteklegr, ByMi, amd Seer, were alike .good in p] > attack and defence, the latter being a very much improved player and a glutton for work. Tredegar entertained Machen, and. though at half-time they could only boast of a three- point lead, they managed by good rushing tactics to score three times through the for- wards, and thus amply avenged the unex- pected defeat they received at Machen last season. Pontypool have up to the present failed to justify the hopes of their supporters since their advent into the Monmouthshire League, and suffered a reverse at the hands of Brynmawr by eight points to three, this being their fourth league match, and their nearest approach to victory being a draw. As was anticipated, the match at Abertil- lery proved to be a stubborn fight, and a try in each half by the respective sides was the I ultimate result, and on the day's form this clearly represented the strength of the teams. Carey, the Cwmcarn full-back, played a fine game, and came near winning the match by a fine drop for goal, which only failed by inches. Pontnewydd lost rather easily to Mountain Ash, whilst Blaina, as the result of an open game, amounted for Pontnewynydd. Mon- mouth. niier a close game, beat Chepstow St. Mary's by a try, whilst the representatives of the other Monmouth Boroughs fought their battle at the Island at Usk. the home team going down to Newport Extras by ten points to nil. Chepstow were easily left by Cardiff Reserves. No less than six times to love did the Metropolitans get across. Blackwood put on 34 points against Abersychan, and Cwm- hran A beat Pontymoile United, whilst Gross Keys, who had not lost, a match in connec- tion with the Junior mip competition, col- lapsed unexpectedly to Pill Celtics at New- port. The game between Neath and Pembroke County was disappointing when viewed from a Neath standpoint, but the fifteen to three points defeat is not without its solatium to the losers, who are to be congratulated upon t their stamina and the exceptionally plucky fight they made during the second half, when not a single point was scored against them. Renlly, I think the County had none the best of the refereeing, and that the try of Manning ought to have been allowed. The visitors used their feet well, and the Neath forwards had a bigger handful than they had bar- gained for. Manning and George Harris were the pick of j the rear division, and I was also very favour- ably impressed with, the full-back, who did his work cleverly and well. The most satis- factory feature about the game to Neath is the discovery of a clever young three-quarter in Stephens, of Resolven. who has in him the making of an excellent n an. On Saturday he was easily the best three-quarter on the field. Trevor Beuson. of Swansea, did very well. but he was indif- ferently fed by his centre. Neath have a task of some difficulty facing them, and they will have to do a g-eat deal better than they did on Saturday to defeat Maesteg at the end, of the week. To heat Llwynypia by sixteen points was an achievement far beyond the expectations of the moat sanguine of the Maesteg supporters. who1 expected the erstwhile champions of the league to run the home team closer after making a draw with Neath last Saturday. Not in any previous match this reason has the Maesteg team been seen to greater advantage, the whole of the players combining splendidly. The Llwynypia forwards were considerably heavier than the home eight. Nevertheless, the Maesteg forwards gave their halves the ball time after time, and they cleverly set the backs in motion continually. The pick of the home forwards, although the whole eight played with merit, were D. J. Thomas. H. Jones. J. Luke, and Sam Hopkins. The Brothers Hellings and Chant did splendid service for the visitors. Where the home team excelled was at back. the halves and three-quarters playing in perfect harmony together. They handled the ball with precision and accuracy. Their pass- ing completely baffled the Llwynypia quartette. The greatest compliment that can be given to Cash—who again figures in the Maesteg team-D. Harris. Davies, and Hinkin, the home quartette, is to say that all the scoring was done by them. Mawer and Parry did well for the visitors, their defence in the second half preventing the homesters from doing further scoring. Hopkins and Jones, the home halves, added to their reputation by their clever play. Jones ■ especially playing the game of his life. A word of praise must be given to J. Davies. one of the Llwynypia halves, who had the knack of smartly intercepting several passes from Hopkins. Of the full-backs J. Thomas, the home cus- todian—who. by the way, has been chosen for the preliminary trial match—played with his usual judgment, his kicking and tackling being a feature of the match. Hughes also did well for Llwynypia, but was hardly so good as Thomas. Saturday was a comparatively uneventful day in football circles at Barry, most of the local fixtures being played away. The Barry United Athletic were to have had a tour. match with Bury St. Edmunds, but the guarantee offered by the Lancashire team being insufficient the engagement was can- celled. -——— ] Barry District met the Cadoxton Rovers in a Cardiff and District League match at th<> Romilly Park, when the District made a good. show. romping home with four goals to their credit. Notwithstanding this result, the Rovers gave a good account of themselves, doing everything but scoring up to their usual creditable form. The matches of the Barry and Penarth ( Schools League arc growing in interest week ( by week, and Cogan and Holton-road (Barry j Dock) are forging away to the head of the table.. Coventry City's success against Aberaman ) in the qualifying competition of the English Cup on Saturday was a big surprise to Coventry's supporters. The club has been doing very badly this season, as its position in the Birmingham Senior League clearly shows. They are very nearly at the bottom. ] The Coventry spectators admired the plucky < marber in which Aberaman went about their work, and in justice to them it must be said 1 that they had quite as much of the game in the first half as their opponents. They fell off < surprisingly tovards the close, and it soon < became apparent that they were a beaten team. They lacked that dash and go wnich i had been a feature of their play earlier in the afternoon. The defence both of the custodian and the backs was excellent, more especially in front of goal, where Coventry had to put in their { best. S. Jones scored the only point obtained by Aberaman. a fairly easy point, which Coventry should have prevented. The home- sters equalised from a scrimmage, and at half-time honours were easy. Soon after the commencement of the second half Coventry pressed determinedly, and save < for one or two brief visits to their opponents' c quarters Aberaman had to act on the defen- k sive for the greater part of this half. It was here that Coventry gathered the strength J which brought about their success. Taplin 1 scored twice, thus giving Coventry the victory by three goals to one. As the team left the field the band played. "See. the conquering I hero comes." It was a pleasant game, greatly enjoyed by the spectators, among whom was Mr. Charles Murray, the member for Coventry. The attendance was one of the best the ( Coventry Club has had this season, and) will do them much good.

LINOTYPE LITIGATION. A legal battle for the possession of the European market for the sale of type-setting machines has been commenced at Montreal between the National Typograph Company of England and the allied American Company on the one side and the Canadian-American Lino- type Corporation on the other.
