CARDIGAN. Alderman Evans, who had been apnointed act as returning officer m the pending election sat in the Guild Hall ior the purpose of hearing objections and receiving withdrawals up to two o clock on Monday. Only one candidate with- drew, viz., Captain D. James, Catherine-row. SIX candidates fur four seats remain, hence a contest will take place, which is likely to be a hot onf: Up to the present there is no question of politics involved, but a question of denomina- tionalism may crop up.

THE FIGHT AT CARDIFF. CANVASSERS AT WORK. So far as canvassing has proceeded, the result is very favourable to the Liberal candidates in each ward but as yesterday was the first day of real work in most of the divisions, not much progress has as yet been made. There is plenty of work for any willing helpers, and at the different committee-rooms the assistance of such will be welcomed. Mr Jotham, in the Central Ward, has his headquarters in the old premises of the Bristol and West of England Bank, at the corner of Wharton-street. Dr. Rees, in the South Ward, has his committee-room aS 165, Bute- road, just below the archway under the vailway and as the work in that part of the town is most important because of the strong influences that are being brought to bear against Dr Rees from several quarters, he has fair claim for prompt and hearty aid from all active members of the party. Mr Augustus Lewis's campaign in Hoath has opened well, and at the committee-room—105, Broadway—there is a manifestation of activity which promises well for a heavy majority on Monday next. Councillor Lewis has in Canton a sure Radical seat; nevertheless, if the sitting member is to be spared expense and annoyance, and if the party is to be saved the trouble of fighting for their position every year, Mr Blake mustreceiveconclusiverejection, and, judging from indications apparent in the committee-room at o. 10, Severn-road, such a rejection is in preparation for him. Cathays has cleared away its difficulties, but has hardly yet got to work, although test evening the secretary (Mr Short), with the more earnest members of the party, were completing their preparations. Riverside Liberals, under the experienced leadership of Mr C. F. Sanders, are preparing a sweeping victory for Mr F. J. Beavan; whilst at Grange tne fight was opened with a couple of good meetings, reported below. More canvassers are wanted in each ward; and it is to be hoped that even in those districts where the party is strongest there will be a good muster, so that the success in each case may be the more pronounced, and also in order that the workers may get into personal touch with each other, a most desirable object in view of an approaching Parliamentary contest. NO OBJECTIONS. The Marquis of Bute (Mayor), accompanied by Mr Alderman D. Lewis (deputy-Mayor) and Mr Wheatley (Town Clerk), attended at the Town- hall yesterday afternoon to hear and decide upon any objections to the nominations for the ensuing election which might be forthcoming. The sit- ting was purely formal however, not a single. objection being brought forward. ROATH WARD. As will be seen by advertisement, a meeting in support of the candidature of Mr Augustus Lewis, in the Roath Ward, will be held this (Tuesday) evening at Diamond-street schoolroom. Chair to be taken at 7.30 p.m. ATTITUDE OF CATHOLIC VOTERS. The Cardiff Catholic Registration Association met at St. David's-hall on Sunday night, when, after an animated discussion, it was decided, by an extremely narrow majority, to support in Grange- town Ward Mr Brain, the Tory candidate, and the South Ward Mr T. Morel, another Tory. The meeting, we understand, was only sparsely attended, and the resolution arrived at is likely to have but little influence on the great majority 1)f the Irish electors in the two wards, who feel Ahat they are in honour bound to support the Liberal and Gladstonian candidates.

TO THE EDITOR. SIB,—A report of the meeting of the Catholic Registration Association appears in this evening's Express, which says "the new blood proposed to be introduced into the Town Council were un- known, with few exceptions and that the un- divided support of the Catholic party in Cardiff should be given to Messrs Morel and Brain a course which for some reason was warmly advocated and supported by a chairman of one branch a.nd certain members of two branches of the Irish National League, which is a political and unsectarian body. The facts are as follows The meeting was small to com- mence with, there was strong opposition, and the aforesaid support consisted of a bare majority of one for Brain, and of three for Morel-two Conser- vatives. This seems strangest of all, as the consti- tutional rules of the Irish National League clearly define that only a Gladstonian Liberal can be supported by its members. The Charles Kickham branch (of which I am a. member) intend to loyally adhere to the principles of their organisa- tion, and I earnestly appeal to the Irish electors of the South and Grangetown Wards to support the Liberal and Labour ean<jyWi;=&l am, &c., AN IRISH NATIONALIST. Cardiff, Oct. 26.

SWANSEA. The only result of the sitting on Monday to receive objections to the nominations was the retirement of Messrs Owen John and Richard Gwilym, thus leaving Mr Griffith Davies an un- opposed return in the Brynmelin Ward. Mr Davies is the nominee of the Trades Council. Sir John Llewelyn had intended standing for this ward, but, as the result of a representation made to him by the labour party, he has written, the following letter:— To the Chairman and Members of the Swan- sea Trades' Council. Last week I was asked whether I would con- tinue as a member of the Swansea County Council, to which I replied that I did. not care to contest any ward, but if a vacancy occurred, and an ex- pression of opinion was conveyed to me from the burgesses of that vVard, asking me to become their representative, I should not object to con- tinue in the Council, and to do all that I possibly can for the benefit and advancement of the town of Swansea, in which I am so in- terested. While presiding at a dinner given t to the Corporation employees at the Albert. Hall, on Friday night, I was informed that Mr Councillor Charles Davies had intimated his determination not to seek re-election, and that therefore a vacancy had occurred in the Brynmelin Ward, and I was pressed to allow my- aelf to be nominated for the ward. "This I did, believing that there was no other candidate in the field. This morning I am told that your Council has brought out a nominee in the person of Mr Griffith Davies, who has seen me and expressed, considerable surprise that I should come out and oppose a working man, and especially one brought out by the Trades' Council, and it is on this account that I write you the above explanation, and to add that I have no desire whatever to con- tinue in the Council unless my services can be of value to the town, and further, I should not care to contest any ward with a view of preventing the people from putting in a representative of their own choice.—Yours truly, "JOHN T. D. LLEWELYN." (

UYELY MUNICIPAL MEETING AT CARDIFF. MR-GARDNER AND UNIONIST LABOUR. A public meeting in support of the candidature; of Mr John Gardner, the labour and Liberal can- didate, was held in the Catholic schoolroom, Upper Grange, on Monday night. Mr OKiefIe presided over a, small meeting.—The Chairman, in opening the meeting, referred to the need of labour candidates. He wished they had had ten labour candidates instead of one. Referring to general questions, he said the stipendiary s salary ought to be reduced by B200 a year instead of increased. Mr JOHN GARDNER said that although he was placed in the position by neither of the political parties, it was only far to them that he should tell them the politics with which he held. He was in favour of Home Rule for Ireland long before it became a popular question. It would have to be fought on this side of the Chapnel, and if Irishmen were anxious to see Home Rule carried, they should vote for members of the House of Com- mons who supported Radical principles. He was a member of the Electoral Association, which was a body more Radical than the Radi- cals, and it was impossible for anyone belonging to that association to be a Tory. (Ap- plause,) He wa,s in favour of pay- ment of members. Coming to local matters, while he wished to say no word against Mr Brain as a gentleman, they must remember the ques- tions which he had supported in the Council. The question of the increase of the stipendiary's salary was" hung up" until after the November election. Why? Because the councillors knew that if they voted in favour of the increase there would be no more room for them in the council. (Hear, hear.) That question should be made a test question throughout the elections. (Hear, hear.) Mr Brain was one of those gentlemen on the finance committee who brought on the question of increasing the Stipendiary's salary from J615 to £20 a week. If the wages list of the Corporation was to be increased to the extent of £250 a year it should be distributed over the wage-earner#, who are to-day barely earning sufficient to keep body and soul together. He wished to make a reply to the statements of Mr Howell, in a correspondence in the papers. He had been accused of employing non-unionist labour. If he had done so it was without his knowledge. He had taken every care that only Unionists' wages should be paid, and though they had some difficulty in getting men, they had always paid the log prices. The books of the store were open for the inspection of a deputation of tailors, and if it was found that he had paid less than log prices he would stand condemned by his own words. He could not say anything'fairer than that. (Applause.) Mr HOWELL said he condemned a trades unionist for being engaged in the "rat-made, slop-shop trade." Mr Howells then read ex- tracts from the sweating report on-the sweaters dens. He said Mr Gardner vended the ready-made clothes at the Seamen's Stores, and while he did that he had no right to stand as a representative of Trades Unionism. (Uproar.) Mr Howells again went on to read from the Sweating Commission Report, but was prevented by a storm of cries. The CHAIRMAN interfered, and said he would only allow Mr Howells a few minutes longer. Mr HOWELLS continued to read, and referred to a letter which had appeared in the press but had not been answered by Mr Gardner. More disorder followed, in which Mr UPHAM cried that the question of Unionism was in- teresting to them all. Mr HOWELLS said he should hold a meeting hitnaelf, and make clear his position. In the disorder which followed Mr remarks he sat down, and Mr J. H. WILSON made a speech in favour of Mr Gardner's candidature. He characterised Mr Howells attack on Mr Gardner just before the election as a red herring drawn before them, and denounced Mr Howells as a Trades Unionist of six weeks' stand- ing. (Uproar, during which there were half-a- dozen discussions going on as to who were the older Trades Unionists.) Mr Wilson, continuing, said he always supported Trades Unionists, but there were many who did not, and he was afraid that it would have to be admitted that ready-made clothes were sold in the sailors store. But if the workmen would be more con- siderate for each other in this country there would not be much to complain of. Mr Gardner was responsible to the Sailors' Union for the home and the store, so far as their proper conduct was concerned, but the manager was responsible for the employment of labour. If Mr Gardner had done wrong, why did not a deputation of the tailors wait on him 10 months ago ? (A voice: There was a deputation,") Mr Wilson said that was not true there never was a deputation. I? there had be*n h? should havvi it. Tho of Mr fiowblls was a dodge on the part of those who were opposed to Labour representation. (Mr- Howells: "Monstrous," and cheers.) He hoped the Tailors' Society would fight the ques- tion out. (A Voice: "The Society does not recognise Howells." Laughter and disorder.) He found there a defeated Conservative candi- date, who was most anxious that Howells should be heard. (Laughter and applause.) Mr UPHAM It's a personal attack on me. I should like to ask how long- has Mr Wilson been a trades unionist, Mr WILSON (displaying a card): Fifteen years. Great disorder was continued for soma time, and Mr Howells attempted, but failed, to get a further hearing on commencing to read more extracts. Then followed Mr Gardner, who denied that a deputation Waited upon him, and it was explained that Mr Gardner would meet Mr Howells on another night.—Mr Gardner again declared that he had paid log prices for all work done at the stores. Mr TURNER Do you know the bread eaten in the home is sold at a halfpenny less than the trade price ? (A voice Where is it made ?" Another voice made by a man who is not in the trade.") (Laughter anJ uproar.) Mr OWEN CALLAGHAN having secured the pledge of Mr Gardner that ho would resign if the Trades Council-were not satisfied with his conduct in the council, moved the usual vote of {confidence in Mr Gardner. Mr JOHN PAINE seconded, and Councillor JENKINS supported in a speech which was punctuated by a running commedt of approval and dissenting demonstrations, and the interjections of Mr Howells and Mr Upham.—Mr Howells, admidst great dis- order, declared that Mr Gardner was elected by. a minority of the Trades Council. When peace reigned again, Councillor MILDON asked if the selection was made by a quorum, to which Councillor Jenkins replied that he was unanimously selected, 126 members being present. The resolution, on being pub to the meeting, .was carried, about a dozen voting against it. IRISHMEN WILL SUPPORT GARDNER. A second meeting, well attended, was held at the Baptist Schoolroum, Lower Grange, where a similar resolution was proposed by Mr Andrews, seconded by Mr Holbown, and supported by Mr T. Davis. Mr JOSEPH HENRY JONES, in supporting, said when it was noised abroad that he was likely to stand for Grange, three Irishmen waited upon him and told him that the Irish were divided, and that Mr Brain had been good to their people, and had given £75 towards a church. (A voice £25.) He said it was strange that Mr Brain had become so generous just before the elections. He asked the Irish to rely on the generosity of a lifetime, and not on the generosity prompted on the eve of an election. They were now told that the fight was neutral in Grange, but who ever heard of an Irishman fighting on neutral ground. He warned them that if they let in Mr Brain they would hear of a Conservative victory in Grange. Mr OWEN CALLOGHAN explained that at the meeting of the Catholic Registration Asso- ciation they voted 15 to 15 for Mr Gardner, but one was counted twice in favour of Mr Brain. But he could tell them that only three voters from Grangetown at the meetfng were in favour of Mr Brain. That f11'derman Carey had been to see him.and tried to persuade him to go for Mr Brain, but Mr thadürIrias his choice, and he could promise him f"aV*u Irishmen worthy of the name would vote *°r nun. (Cheers.) carried w £ utl°? ~'n favour of Mr Gardner was mea wth enthusiasm.

Bramwell (Wood- street Board).— Mr W. R. Redman, the secretary, read replies from the Cardiff, Cadox- ton, and Penarth School Boards, and also from the managers of the Canton National Schools,, acknowledging receIpts of the resolution regarding assistants' salaries. The reply from Cadoxton stated that. the i matter is under consideration. The most important item on ihe agenqa was the matter of irregular attendance. A long dis- cussion took place, but the unanimous opinion vigorously expressed was that the present methods adopted by the attendance officers were worthless and unproductive of any good. The system of weekly lists, with its long delays and cumbrous working, has again taken the place of the short- lived "slip" system. It was generally felt that as the attendance officers were unable to cope efficiently with the difficulty, it was time that the recommendations laid before the board by a deputation of teachers last spring should re- ceive due consideration. (Parents and magistrates needed to be reminded that every absence was a idistinct monetary loss to the school and town.— It was finally decided that the matter be re- ferred back to the committee, who will formulate a systematic inquiry preparatory to further action.

SPORTING NOTES. [BY GEORGE FREDERICK.] Intending participators at the closing scenes of the Newmarket campaign are by no means hope- ful that sport will be witnessed under cheerful weather influences, and it is feared that to some extent, the Cambridgeshire will be invested with the same dismal discomfort as that prevailing on the Cesarewitch day. A reliable list of probable starters and jockeys must necessarily be an impossibility at the time of writing, and the following is simply given to. show what horses are likely to run: Colpnel North's Nunthorpe, 5y 9st 61b M. Cannon Mr J. O'Neil's The Rejected, a 8st 13lb Rickaby Duke of Portland's Memoir, 4y 8st 121b 5. Watts Mr Rose's Bel Demonio, 4y 8si 121b F. Webb Duke of Westminster's Blue-green 4y 8st 121b. G.

Bass's Rusticus, 6v Vst 91b Blake Lord Bradford's Cuttlestone, 3y 7st 91b Allsopp MrL. de Rothschild's Bumptious,oy 7st 7lh,J. Woodburn Captain L. n. Jones's Theophilus. 5y 7st 71b Lord Rosslvn's Buccaneer, 3y 7st 71b Mr W. Hoare Smith's Bullion, 5\- 7st 61b Lord Hastings's Breach, 3y 7st 6Ib Finlav Mr Rose's I] eniy VIII., 3y 7st 5Ib S. Webb Lord Zetland's Grammont, 3y 7st 51b Colling Mr P. Fings' Warlaby, a 7st 41b S. Chandley Mr G. Lambert's Spell, 4v 7st 61b Mr A. Taylor's Harfleur, 4y 7st 41b Lawrence Mr S; 3^on's Burnaby, 4y 7st 41b J. J. Griffiths Mr W. W. I ulton's Comedy, 3y 7st 31b —— Mr A. Kilsyth's L'Abbe Morion, 4y 7st 31 b —— Mr G. Warocque's Jlo'neau, 4y 7st General O. Williams's Conifer, 3y 7st Mr H. Milner's Shrine, 4y 7st R. Chaloner Pnnce Soltykoff's Star, 4y 7st- Grey Mr A. Taylor's Madame*d'Albany, 4y 6st 91b.. —- Colonel O Montagus Cloudberry, 3y 6st 910 Swash Lord Calthorpe's Harpstring, 3y 6st 51b H. R. H, the Prince of Wales's Derelict,3y ost ,31b A .Watts AlrTeiiby s Mavourneen, 3y 6st 21b P. Chaloner Mr P. Buchanan's Sha.ncrotha, 3y 6st Ub Bradford PrticaUy the claims of Nunthorpe were quashed in a trial gallop on Saturday, consequent on which Cloudberry made a rapid rise in the market quotations. This cast-off from the Kings- clere stable has had admirers at headquarters for months past for the event under notice, and as a two-year-old was endowed with no small share of merit. Beyond a couple of private tests, how- ever, in which she has come off victoriously, the present chance of this daughter of Macheath cannot be gauged otherwise than through the market, and the question of the probability of the Houghton event going to Sherwood's-.stable must be deferred for further developments. Different stories are afloat respecting The Reje.cted-a horse always endowed with a reputation for revel- ling in heavy going when carrying a huge weight until his last two essays, when the mut? proved fatal to hiu and whatever excuse may be advanced for his defeat by that smart filly Pali- sandre Q, subsequent overthrow by Bullion at a dif- ference of only 41b spoke disparagingly in the extreme of the Cambridgeshire prospects of the son of King of Trumps and Accepted. How- ever, both owner and trainer are not in the least daunted over his latest failures, and still con- tinue to accept the knocked-out prices at which lie is now operated against in the market. From time to time the Arundel-trained horse has been backed to win an enormous amount of money, but his last performances have completely alienated the support of the majority of his ad- lmrers, though that they have made a mistake in lightly casting him adrift is more than probable. Looking only at his record for this year, it may be gleaned that The Rejected is not one to be passed over with impunity, and with all due deference to the capabilities manifested in the past by such good animals as Memoir, Bel De- monio, and Blue-green, I still think the old horse, if in his best form, would keep the three named in check at their respective weights. That he will prove successful is now, however, only a forlorn hope, bear- ing in mind what disasters attended the efforts of the top weights through the sticky ground in the Cesarewitch, and for that reason not one of the heavy brigade may be capable of giving the weight away to some of their more leniently treated rivals. What Ragimuude did with Morion and Star did with Queen's Birthday may probably be repeated by some rival to Memoir and Blue-green on Wednesday next, and well as Memoir may be going at the present moment, and easily as Blue-green defeated Cuttlestone at the last Newmarket meeting, the vast amount of weight to be conceded by these two old rivals must inevitably tell a tale over holding ground. For this reason, I think Cuttle- stone will be certain to turn the tables on Blue- green, but hoy! the Stanton colt may fare with Star it is not easy to fathom. In the Rose Plate Star gave Corstorphine-who may be reckoned as of equal (if not superior) merit with Cuttlestone- 91b and a length and a half defeat, and now Cuttlestone has to concede Prince Soltykoff's mare 61b, so that on this reasoning the son of Re- treat has no earthly chance of winning the Cam- bridgeshire so long as Star is a competitor. On the other hand, the question of thedifferent. length of course to be traversed over will, undoubtedly, tell in favour of the speedier Cuttlestone, for it is a well-known fact that staying rather than speed is Star's forte. To judge between the two is, therefore, a very difficult matter. Danger from Lady Rosebery, Snaploolc, War Dance, Alloway, and Miss Dollar is more than ever on the wane, while Corstorphine on their last running is held safe by Star. So much uncertainty exists with respect to Quartus and Belmont that not much good trill "Afebrile from 'an expression of opinion one way oi" the other, and no doubt a good many of the three year olds will hold Rusticus in check at less than even weights, despite a great amon, some people for the Leicester winner. With Bump- tious under suspicion as to his ability to stay the instance, and having- still further disgraced bim- solf in another private spin on Saturday, his admirers are by no means on good terms with tnemselves, chough at the weights he is about the best handicapped animal in the race. His defeat of Meiody, Queen of the Fairies, and Broad Corrie over a mile the other day was achieved easily enough, but it is evident the son of Brag and Headlong has his good and bad days, and is only in the vein to try when he likes. Bullion has a good chance judged by his recent defeat of The Rejected, but he is a very uncertain animal to rely upon, and so far there has not been the least disposition to advocate his claims in the market. Were Theonhilus in anything like the form when but barely de- feated by The Imp in the Jubilee Stakes, or when hunting home Laureate and Claribelle for the Cambridgeshire of a couple of years since then the 'coming event would appear to be almost a cer- tainty for him; but in what trim he is at the present moment it is difficult to conjecture. One 01 his last appearances in public—that at Stock- bridge m June saows him in winning colours, W^rC^i, Prefentfd the Ramelton Lass^ with 151b and a length beating, but I should hardly venture 1 the opinion that form of this description wouid be good enough to win a Cam- bridgeshire But remembering how Laureate II. sfmnf-iL0Y Hunt CuP in the summer, 7jr1 jnaucemenfc to regard with favour TheSorl bn^ f1?S °f tlleson of Arbitrator and inerS that he will bow to bourne candidatri0(™ 'S i1111 AEts of "notl"IGr Lam- tive, but latest market operation, mffiUte' tKS'l money difficulties have been a\ from all that is heard of tL «n d '?r\an-d ;2sS S-rvp rV'»L^sm^p'« the cSSh*tjrer uot mistake wta, Stha»ffS V'1!iaa,\at«»rd-if hw t-Vir -,s Pertlaps too close up with abler three year olds, n Cuttlestone andBumptious LrCdy £ ^te\aCtx,al danSer» ^t for all that Lord Rosslyn has not given up hopes of his colours being carried prominently by the son of Privateer and Pnmula.

Burnaby and Spell may be passed over now, though anti- cipating an important race to fall to the share of the last-named in the not very distant future, while the Belgian candidate, Sloineau, has been under a cloud for some days. Conifer will probably represent Capt. Machell's interest, and danger possibly lurks in this quarter while if asked to choose from the Manton lot I should say that Madame D'Albany would be the best to rely upon. Chesterfield's chance is hopeless, and a little too much weight has to be carried by the ex-plater, LAbbe Morin, to enable his owner to win the C20,000 for which he has backed his representative. Mavourneen may perform credit- ably, while Shancrotha ran so well for the Great Yorkshire Handicap that he is entitled to more than passing allusion. He will be ridden by capable and clever light-weight, and it may be well to mention that for the race above men turned, won by Alloway, the Malton colt started favourite. As is well known, Derelict has won favourite. As is well known, Derelict has won a good trial at Kmgsclere, and as this has been followed up by some heavy stable commissions, nfr|nC £ hnnn J^63 8 bg^ly-weighted three- year-old isi bound to go very close. Warlaby's form is 30 well known that comment on his per- forroances is needless, and that the old warrior is intended to make a bold bid for victory is beyond .question. In summing up, I still think that The Rejected may come out with the greatest credit from the topweights, Cuttlestone and Theophilus ► from the middle division, and Warlaby, Star, Madame D Albany, Derelict, and Shancrotha ^T0In j- l^rru t^ -further reducing these I ^*11 3Ca J T?1 Rejected, Cnttlestone, Madame Albany, and Shancrotha, mainly on the ground that Star triumphed so decisively over Corstor- phine in the Rose Handicap that, on paper, none of the discarded lot ought to be able to cope with her. Theophilus, Warlaby, and Derelict, however, represent opposition that may prove too ■ powerful even for Prince Soltykoff's filly, and the wisest course may probably be to couple DERELICT and STAR, leaving WARLABY and THEOPHILUS as the best of the outsiders.

A special correspondent of the Neiv Yor?: > Herald, states on most reliable authority that the appointment of the Duke of Connaught to succeed 1; Sir Frederick Roberts, as Commander-in-Chief in 5 India, will be gazetted next spring, and that the jDuke will, on vacating the Portsmouth command, ihava four months' leavr of absence, the greater part of which he will spend with the Queen. He will leave in the autumn for Bombay.

LONDON BETTING. MONDAY NIGHT. Business was uncommonly brisk at the various Metropolitan sporting resorts to-day, and it was late in the day before the members of the chief club dispersed. Some thirty horses were backed for the Cambridge- shire, and this number will probably be the strength of the field at the finish. Comedy, with bets of 2000 to 200 and smaller wagers, fairly passed Bluegreen as favourite for money, 10 to 1 always being on offer about the latter, and 3 to 1 could also be obtained about any candidate for a place. Memoir finished at 500 to 40 taken and offered, while Cuttlestone was seldom mentioned. A professional backer took a big bet of 15,000 to 750 about Derelict, and also supported Cloudberry. Rusticus was sup- ported at 2000 to 80, but in this direction the principal feature was that there was an offer to take two monkeys" that Mr Hamar Bass's colt beat anything I best of 1, 2, 3. Bel Demonio was on offer at 50 to 1, which was the best price obtainable about Nunthorpe after 2000 to 30 had been taken, and it is understood that this horse will run independent of his stable com- panion, Cloudberry. War Dance opened at 25 to 1, but at the finish 1000 to 20 was on ofifer. CAMBRIDGESHIRE. 1 (One mile and 240 yards. Run Wednesday.

FOOTBALL. GLOUCESTER V. ST. HELEn RECREATION. Result Gloucester, 1 goal, 1 try, 9 minors; St Helen's, 1 minor. Played at Gloucester. Soon after the start the to touch down, the visitors doing the same eight time. On change of ends Taylor got over for Gloucestei, the try being unconverted, and the same player dropped a neat goal. Gloucester pressed all the time. CHATHAM V. CANADIANS.—Played at Chatham this afternoon in wet and miserable weather, which greatly affected the attendance, less than 1,000 spectators being present. Chatham played with a strong wind in the first half, and did the bulk of the pressing, but the rough ground militated against accurate passing and shooting. Both goal keepers had to save, but at half-time nothing had been scored. After change of ends the Canadians pressed hard, and the Chatham custodians stopped several shots, but were beaten by a long one from Forester. Then Allen missed an easy chance for Chatham. The Caiiadiana played up, and additional points were registered bv Thiboda and Gregory. The Canadians played well in the second half. Final score Canadians, 3 goals Chatham, nil. ASTON VILLA V. ST. GEORGE.—A friendly match between these teams was played at Perry Barr to-day, in wretched weather and before a small attendance. The Villa, placed with the wind in the, first half, and t Ware, and Dickson each scored A goal. Dickson got hurt and retired early in the second half. The Villa, however, although having only ten men, fairly held their own against their opponents. Result: Aston Villa, 3 goals to niL SHEFFIELD UNITED V. WEDNESDAY. Result: United. 5 goals Wednesday, nil. Played in dull, cold weather. Over 20,000 spectators assembled at Bramall-lane this afternoon to witness this match. During the first half the game was fairly even, but the United shot better than their opponents, and led at the interval by three goals to nil. The United had the best- of the second half, and scoring two goals ran off easy winners. WEST BROMWTCH ALBION V. WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS.—Played at West Bromwich to-day. Result Wanderers, 2 goals Albion, 1. The Albion kicked uphill, but with the wind. They began passing very early, but were repulsed, and the Wanderers, breaking away, suddenly "scored after twenty minutes' play. The Wanderers put one through their own goal directly after. Soon after crossing over, Reader put the ball through his own goal. The remainder of the game was uninteresting. ° CARDIFF POLICE V. NEWPORT POLICE.—On Thurs- day, the 29th, a match has been arranged to take place at Newport, for the benefit of several charitable institutions, between teams selected from the Cardiff Borough Police Force and the Newport Police.

FAUST UP TO DATE" AT THE THEATRE ROYAL. It is obviously the intention of Mr Edward Fletcher, the experienced lessee of the Theatre Royal, to leave nothing undone on his part so that he shall retain that confidence of the playgoing public which has been his in so large a measure for so many years past, It is directly due to the persistent enterprise of the Theatre Royal lessee that Cardiff is, and has been so long, in- cluded in the list of number one towns in the provinces and the most exacting critic could scarcely complain of the theatrical fare which has been provided during the whole of this autumn season by Mr Fletcher. Faust up to Date, it is almost unnecessary to remind our readers, is by no means new to Cardiff, the occasion of its previous visit last year being characterised by conspicuous success. Virtually, the present cast is unaltered, the only change in the leading parts being, we believe, the suostitution of Miss Amy Augarda for Miss Flo Bilton as Young Faust. Here, again, we have Edmund Payne, a comedian of decided ana acceptable originality, with fun EK>uliarly his own, Mephistopheles; we have Duis Kelleher, as rollicking a Valentine and as good a low-comedy actor as is to be found; and Miss Rita Presano, a pretty and tuneful copy of Florence St John. Miss Alice Barrett is a massive Martha, whose voice is remark- ably well preserved, and who brings to bear upon her impersonation a thorough knowledge of modern musical burlesque. The well-known songs and dances of the piece" go with all their accustomed swing, and, altogether, there is a strong probability of a crowded and delighted audience assembling every night &t the Theatre Royal.

THE EMPIRE. As we predicted in yesterday's issue, the com- bination of artistes who occupy the boards of this theatre during the ensuing week are unparalleled for variety and all-round excel- lence, and a more enthusiastic audience than that which assembled on Monday night h;3 seldom been witnessed, either in Cardiff or elsewhere. The programme provided was a complete success throughout, and one may safely predict bumper houses" for the remainder of the week. When the ever charming "Dorothy Girls" appeared the audience literally brimmed over with enthusiasm, and this ebullitiou of excitement was certainly well merited. Four more winsome exponents of song and dance never yet graced the Empire stage, their cultured voices, refined and prepossessing style, and artistic dancing being the very poetry of melody and motion. An enthusiastic reception also awaited the Sisters Preston, who are unquestionably the ablest comediennes in their own particular line on the English stage, their Irish sketch is inimitable, and a similar ovation was accorded to them as signalised the appearance of the "Dorothy Girls." The audience were also scarcely less enthusiastic in tha recognition accorded to the Brantfords and their dog Dude," whose exhibition of mimicry may fairly be described as a liberal education. Mr Sam Saunders, the character vocalist, is well to the foio As usual, whether as the insufferably conceited Volunteer or the "Maiding Fair," 'who is so deadly in earnest about gettin?, niarried, Miss Alice Venley, with her "two- year old character song, wins the hearty approval of everybody. Miss Maud Rivers appears to advantage whilst, taking off the opposite sex, but la tiic Langtry, the burlesque actress, though fairly successful, was scarcely: up to her usual form.

THE PHILHARMONIC. There was a capital audience on Monday night at thie theatre. The specialities are numerous and successful, particularly the turn of Mr Frank Folloy and the Harvey Boys with their sketch entitled "McGuinis's Kitchen." The negro comedian, Mr Frank Whitby, is also highly entertaining. Messrs Kelly and Ashley evoke plenty of applause and merriment with tLeir "Chinese Laundry" sketch. The champion ring performers, Messrs Cobweb and Spider, were scarcely seen at their best owing to a defect which mani- fested itself on the stage, but their performance was on the whole very smart. Mr Fred Riley also sang very well, and the performing pigeons, introduced by the celebrated Carle," are certainly a novelty well worth seeing. The song and dance artistes, Mr Brian Dale and Miss EmiJy Clarinder, are also very effective, and on the whole the combination ought to attract large audiences nightly.

POOLE S MYRIORAMA. At the Colonial Hall last night there was another good house. Poole's Mynorama, always a popular entertainment in Cardiff, opening the second week of its stay. There are gorgeous dictures, clever artists, first class music, and a really entertaining guid3. The comical sketch of the troupe of minstrels excited hearty laughter. We would remind our readers that Saturday next will be the positively last performance."
