ENGLAND v WALES (ASSOCIATION). The 15th annua! contest under Association rules between teams representing England and Wales, took place at Stoke on Monday. The English team were composed exclusively of professionals. Although dull and threatening, the weather held fine, aud there was a large attendance, whilst the ground proved to be in excellent condi- tion. Two changes were made from the names announced, the absence cf Southworth causing Goodall to go centre for England, and Whitehead, of Accrmgton, taking the vacant place at inside right. Bawdier, of the Rovers, did not appear for Wales, and R. Roberts of Crewe Alexandra, appeared in his stead. England have o fat, won 11 matches and Wales two, one game having ended in a draw. Befor" three o'clock several thousand peop1e were present, nd as the hour for commencement drew iiear there I wouid he quite 8.0C3 spectators on the ground. After the teams had been photographed the game was stiti-ted sliortly after 3.30 ]I]glaud, WiUOIiiJg the toss, played with a slight wind behind them and in the first live minutes Trainer handled twice in stopping.shots from Schofiled. Three free- kicks were given to England, but the Welsh backs cleared. Sutciiffe in turn had to save and next a bad centre by James lost Wales an opening. Goodall headed in goal. Trainer saving linelv". A fine shot by Goodall hit the upright, but the Welshmen nad a fair share jf the game, a good attack being cleverly stopped by Holmes. Goodall next forced a corner, and Whitehead shot just out- side. The English forwards showed great cleverness but were not well together. They easily beat the Welsh halves, however, and after a prolonged but were not well together. They easily beat the Welsh halves, however, and after a prolonged attack Trainer, stopping a shot by Schofield, Spitesley gat up and scored for England after twenty-five minutes' play. Wales broke away, but were not dangerous, a.nd a foul being given to England near" the Wei ll goal a hot scrinnnago ended in Spikesley scoring the second goal for England after half an hour. Tlie pace slackened somewhat, and once the Welshmen forced the ball over the English line, but for the most part the English backs were too strong for the visitors' attack. Once but for the most part the English backs were too strong for the visitors' attack. Once Vaughan, heading badly, missed a. good chance. HALF-TIME SCORE GOALS.

Scarcely had ciie gaiii- been resumed when, from a pass by B tssett, Goodall obtained a fourt h goal for England, the ball hitting the bar and dropping through the goal. Having thus early put the result beyond aU doubt England did not play so hard, but Schotield, Whitehead, and Goodall all had shots at goal, that ct the first named only just failing of success, whilst after- wards Spikesley hit the bar, Trainer saving splendidly.

IRELAND V. WALES. THE MATCH AT LLANELLY. PRESS COMMENTS. [MANCHESTER GUARDIAN.] W ales has in1 succession taken down England, Scotland, and Ireland, and has thus gone through a ^eabon of tho results of which she has every reason to be proud. In some respects whut peared on paper to be the team's easiest ta4 turned out tne most difficult In their play Wales generally had the advantage, lnough Dunlop and Lee acquitted themseh-es well for Ireland, the visitors' back division as a whole were not equal to such work as was done by the Goulds, Biggs and McCutcheon. The last-named never played a better game. Much greater praise could not be bestowed upon him tiitri that. It was in their forward play that the Irisomrm were particularly distinguished. In the second portion of the game at any rate, the performance of the serin magers was of the very finest character, and deserved greater success than it achieved. Wales has c made a marvellous jump. Her record last season was three matches lost,"in which she scored two points against c3. This time she stands at the top oi the tree with all her matches won and a score of 23 point- to 11. Both good play and good management have largely contributed to this success. Club returns proved to the Welsh Union in a manner which could not be ignored the vyhie of combination 011 the football field, and the Union, finding themselves able to recognise this principle to a very full extent with- ouL any great sacrifice of individual claims, acted like wise men and did so recoguise it. Thty have their reward. The results of aU of the interna- tional matches are contained in the following tables Matches Played.

I bus, for the first time in the history of the Rugby game in the Principality, the Welsh XV. have accomplished the feat of su;:cf- i vely beating Lngaud, Scotland, and Ireland in the same season, and the performance is aU the more creditable to the representatives of Wales that it has been done by the cultivation of the most scientific features of football. Much con- troversy has been waged over the point whether they have been wise m sacrificing part of their strength forward for the purpose of securing quicker passing and more dangerous attack behind the scrimmage, and so far as English experience has yet gone, the theory has not been found to work vrell in practice or to bring any great measure of success to those who have adopted it. But the Welsh have stuck to it through good and through evil report, and it must be confessed that. tbt-y have arrived at a degree of expertness and accuracy in putting their theory into practice, with which the players of 110 orher nation can compare. Aud it was their wonderfully clever passing again that gave them their victory over Ireland on Saturday, a brilliant exhibition of it ending in A. J. Gould passing io his brother at the right moment, and B. Gould s^curiug the only try of the match just before half-time. Each side excelled in its own particular department, the Irishmen having a good deal the best of the foiward play, as might have been anticipated with a man more in the scrimmage, and the Welshmen showing to great advantage in passing and combined back play. They also proved the cleverer in loose dribbling, which to some extent minimised the benefit gained by Ireland through their greater strength in the aiid regained the ground that was made by the forward lushes of their oppon- ents. Still the game can scarcely be regarded as illustrating the superiority of the four three- quarter system, when it is borne in mind that no fewer than seven substitutes had to be called upon to complete the Irish team, whereas the Welshmen played as selected; and only two changes -one in the scrimmage and one behind it—have taken place in all their three international fifteens. Hence the superior combination of Wales in loose forward play was easily accounted for, and the narrowness of the victory in such cir- cumstances is rather suggestive of the inference that had the chosen Irish side been able to turn out the result might have been otherwise. Never- theless, we call congratulate Wales upon their splendid success in the season of 1892 93, which will secure for their special method of play greater attention than would otherwise have been the case. [YORKSHIRE POST.] The remarkable rise of the Welshmen from the bottom to the top of the international tree is one of the great features of the closing seMon. Many persons will no doubt attribute the improvement) to the four three-quarter system but, while this iuay have had something to do with it, we rather fancy Wales owes her success more to combination and training, and to the fact that they had a fewbidliant backs in a year which the. other nations have lamented e ia s the absence llf new talent equal to the giants of the past. It has been preeminently Wales's year." as witness hfr good fortune in beating England, after having had rather the worst of the play and on the good sportsmanlike prin- ciple that honours should go round, Englishmen do certainly not begrudge the clever Welsh team their success. [LIVKSPOOL MEP.CUEY.] Wales scored her third victory on Satnrday, and thus holds the championship of the interna- tional fixtures of 1893. The Will against Ireland was secured at Llanelly, when there were close upon 20,000 spectators. It was a very soft victory. Gallant little Wales has fought hard determinedly to achieve this coveted position attained, and she well deserves the distinguished honour. "The Bard" writes as follows to the Athletic News .-—The narrowness of the win came as a surprise to most people, and yet, when we conns to think of it, the AVel.sn backs have never corns off against Irelaid. The Irish forwards get away so quickly from the scrummage that our backs ara covered before they can get, into their stride. Irishmen have no reason to be ashamed of their visit to Llanelly. They have come nearest of the nations to smashing up the Welsh back play, and a slice of luck would easily have given them the game. l' Hover," in the Mornitu/Leader, says: -By defeating Ireland by one try to nil, Wales for the first time stands at the top of the nations in Rugby football. Tiiose whohave watched the slow but sure development of the game in the Principa- lity will rejoice that they have achieved such dis- tinction. They may not for a long time again occupy such a prominent position, but the place of the Welshmen this year is thoroughly de- served. The narrow majority of the Welshmen iJ due to the excellence of the Irish forwards, whet quite overplayed the home scruminaigers, and prevented the unrivalled Welsh backs from putting in their usual telling work. Bert Gould scored tlm try for Wales, after a fine piece ot passing with brother Arthur. M'Cutcheon also played a great; game, and C. B. Nichol!, the Cam- bridge captain, was the best forward on the ground. Tlie order of the nations this year is: Wales, Scotland. England, Ireland. Wales (says the Sportsman) scored her third victory 011 Saturday, and thus hold., the cham- pion-hip of the International fixtures of 1892-3. The success in question was secured againsfc Ireland, at Llanelly, when there were close UPOi) twenty thousand people in attendance. It. was a very narrow victory. Gallant little WalesJ has fought hard and determinedly to achieve the coveted position now attained, and well deservea the distinguished honour.

ELECTRIC LIGHT IN CARDIFF. I CAN WATER-POWER BE UTILISED? MORE ARGUMENTS IN ITS FAVOUR. INTERVIEW WITH MR D. C. THOMAS. SIXTH ARTICLE. [BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] The last word has not yet been heard on the question of water versus steam as the motive power for the supply of electrical energy for the lighting of Cardiff. Mr D. C. Thomas, of Messrs Thomas and Co., engineers, Penarth-road, although not an electrical engineer himself, has given the matter considerable attention. Ho thinks that Mr W. H. Massey is far too strongly wedded to the introduction of steam into the scheme now before the Cardiff Corporation, and does not, therefore, make that allowance for the water supply at hand, which might otherwise be expected from such an undoubted expert in electrical installations. Using Mr Massey's own words," said Mr Thomas when I saw him the other day, light for light the cost of electric lighting is two and a half tunes that of gas.' Surely such a statement should be con- sidered from a strictly business point of view. Is it a wise move on our part to adopt such an ex- pensive source of supply when we have a cheaper one at our command ? No town in tho kingdom has a waterworks system so eminently suited to the requirements of electricity as Cardiff. Here we have a fall of 4,000,000 gallons of water daily to the extent of 925 feet in 30 miles, and yet we are asked to disregard this un- paralleled natural source and adopt a method to the expense of which thers is practically no limit. The thing is in itself ridiculous. On Mr Massey's own figures you have a clear saving at the outset of I&V2 tons of coal daily. Then it is admitted that tiie fixing of turbines, etc., will less than the steam plant, which, in my opinion, will, taken all round, ha a very much more expensive affair than has been stated. Are not these things worthy of consideration?" ¡ But Mr Massey's contention is that when all the available water-power is exhausted it will only meet a part of the demand, and that, there- tore, it is wiser to start with the steam plant, which will in any case be necessary, and utilise the water-power in the localities most suitable for the purpose."—"Very well. I am prepared to make this statement:—That, during the working hours of each day there is sufficient power now running to waste in our mains to supply every factory, vrarehouse. and shop in Caraiif at present using power for motive purposes, excluding only those lying within the Bute Dock boundaries and the Ely Paper Mills. In addition, it would drive every tram-car in the town. The manufacturing demands for motive power practically cease at 5 p.m., and then it could be utilised for ligining purposes. Then you would have sufficient to iighfc every street in Cardiff with ate lamps, and there would be a sur- plus for illuminating the larger buildings in the main thoroughfares with inear.descent lamos. I am taking an estimate of at least 800 horse-power HOW running to waste in the mains bemg msde use of. Further, in five years there wtII be a reservoir at Cwm Taff containing 355 million gal'cms of water. Durmg that time the electrical consumption of the town wiU increase, and as that increase goes on so will the puwer obtained from the mams be multiplied, pro rata, to all intents and purposes. Eventu- ally the town would have one of the finest paying electric lighting and motive properties in exist- ence. It ought to rival those now so well established in the States. On the western slopes of the Rocky Mountains you find some towns entirely lit by electricity gained from water power, even down to the working mail's cottage. A great authority on the subject has declared the electric light to be the working man's light if water supplies be properly utilisf d. And this is taking no account of its value to the public health." "O"n you give me any facts 111 support of your contention Yes. Professor W. Caw- thorne Unwin. E.E.S., has been lecturing on the subject in the rooms of the Society of Arts. He says ;— Where water power could be utilised in large quantities it was generally cheaper than steam, The water costs little or nothing, and the cost of main- tenance and attendance was also very low. The power was extremely regular, controllable, and convenient, and its anuual cost, consisted mainly of interest on the capital expenditure. In this country, with little water power auù abundant coal, water-power was uaduly despised. It was r.10st abundant just where hitherto it had been least convenient to use it. In other countries, however, water power was still hardly less important than steam, and the discovery of moans of transmitting power to a distance made it possible to utilise water power, which would otherwise be unavailable, and this had caused great interest in the subject to arise. Up till quite recoil ly the only means of transmission adopted had been the cOllvcsance of the water itself a in the t1umes for hydraulic mining in America; but any more con- venient anù cheaper means woulå greatly increase the availability of water-power. In Switzerland, for instance, the Weisenbsch reported that in 1876 70,000 horse-nower was delivered from waterfalls 111 that country, and probably now the amount was over8),\A}) effective horse-power, The total amount avIl..IJ¡\>, however, was estimated at 582,000 horse-power, acil putting the value of u horse at £6 per annua:, this ivpi-s.-ented an annual v;*lne of £ 3,500,000. If used t I) replace steam-power, it would save one and a quarter willion tons of coal annually. At. this moment there was hardly an important factory ia Switzerland which was not either using water-power or making prepara- tions or surveys to ùo so. "Now,"said Mr Thomas, these remarks meet the case of Cardiff. Many towns in the United Kingdom cannot use their waterworks system to advantage in this respect, either on account of the low levels generally prevalent ca: the great distance of the reservoirs fror/i the towns them- selves. But here we have our supply falling 1,000 feet in 30 miles, and we calmly ignore it. Look at Denver, a. city of 80,000 inhabitants, with not a gas light m it. In America there are 1 miHions horse power obtained from turbines driving electrical dynamos. It is worth six millions sterling a year, a.nd does 35 per cent, of the whole manufacturing work of the States, From a steam station electricity cannot be sup- plied for power purposes under £30 to £40 per horse-power per annum. Yet Professor CJnwin states :— In 1887 the city of Geneva came to an understanding with tho Electric Lighting Company, by which th latter were supplied with water-power for driving their dynamos at the rate of £ 3 per effective horsepower per annum. Then again, he draws a comparison between London and Geneva. The system of hydraulic transmission in the Metropolis supplies some 2,000 consumers, and the engines laid down only aggregated 1,500 effective horse-power." In Geneva, with one-eightieth of the population of London, three years ago there were 137 motors aggre- gating 250 effective horse-power, and 79 motors aggregating 1,284 effective horse-power ill daily re¡1;ular work. Tue use of the power was increasing at the -ate of nearly 200 horse-power per annum. it appeared, therefore, that m Geneva more power was daiJy dis- tributed than in London, anl1 it was, moreover di- tributed in a fonu which, whilst more adapted to ordinary industrial purposes than. in the London system, was nc-t IlI-,1.dltpt,ed to those operations of lighting, Itc., which alone were met by the English system. Further, this power was distributed to ordi- nary consumers at one-fifth the London price, and to the Electric Light Company at one-tweljth the price. "I consider," said Mr Thomas, that every ratepayer in Cardiff should be made acquainted with the views of a manlike Professor Unwjn. Let me give you one more extract from his con- cluding lecture, and I have finished :— In conclusion, he would consider the bearing of the whole matter on the question of the general distribu- tion of power in towns. He thought it had been shown by many instances that where power was easily and cheaply obtained a, demand for it grew up, anil the advantages to the community were very great. Power could be distributed in various wa's. at a post which varied partly with Ihe original cost of the power and partly with the interest on the distributing arrangements. There was no hope that the cost of distribution could ever be made small, hnd the engineer was forced therefore to study tho cheapening of the production of the power. Where water power was available it had enormous advantages, which in many cases would lead to the transfer of industries to Dew localities. "What I want to know is," said Mr Thomas, "why, with such facts and figures before us, we as men of business, should wilfully close our eyes to them and adopt an expensive steam plant merely because one set of people think it is the best ?" "What, then, do you recommend?"—"As I have already told you, I am not an expert in this matter, and take an interest in it merely because I believe n,y fellow-townsmen are going to make a great and costly mistake if they do not first utilise the magnificent source of eIectrical energy they have at command. But here is a book entitled, "Hydraulic Motors, Turbines, and Pressure Engines," by G. R. Bodmer. On page 411 it gives a table of the effective horse- power to be obtained by using turbine motors manufactured by Messrs J. J. Rieter and Co. of Winterthur, Switzerland, which firm have erected the motors in use at Terni, in Italy to drive all the machinery of a large steel works there. You see that ten cubic feet of water per second, which is about our present daily con- sumption, with an effective head of 925 feet will yield about 800 horse-power, or a little over! There is also the American Pelton Wheel, sold by Frazer and Chalmers, Limited, of 43, Thread- needle-street, E.C., which has the repute of being a first-class turbine. Why should not the Cor- poration ask the representative of one or buth of these firms to visit Cardiff, and state, after examining the ground, what they can do and at what cost. The whole thing would not cost £100, and, unless I am greatly mistaken, it would mean incalculable saving to the town in the future if their report led us to preserve our watrr-j ower in place of allowing it to flow away unheoded through our mains. Mr says thre are practical difficulties in the way or fixing turbines to the mains. In my opinion any such practical difficulties must be very minor ones. At any rate let us not rush ourselves into this project without considering it in all its bearings." As the Local Government Board inquiry into the proposed borrowing of £32,000 for the eiectric lighting of Cardiff is to be heidiOn Wednesday, Mr Thomas's views are timely, and would seem to command consideration. It must be quite under- stood that I am not writing theso articles from the point of view of an expert. The plain pro- position before the ratepayers is that they are are asked to sanction the lay- ing out of a large sum of money upon a „t'W scheme of public lighting, and it is the duty of the press and the corporate representatives of the town to take care that the very best and most modern ideas are applied to the development of the scheme. The more inquiry there is into the subject the better it will be understood, and it will perhaps be advisable for the officials em- ployed by the Corporation in the matter to once and for a'l demonstrate, in the fullest possible manner, the reasons which have led them to so strongly espouse the use of steam as opposed to water-power, in the organisation of our eiecfcric lighting system. That they have solid and sufficient reasons may almost be taken for granted, but these might be made public, and thus satisfy the doubts which at the present moment certainly occupy many persons' minds upon the question.

THE WELSH PRESS. lBY "RHYDYOHEINWH."] MR DISESTABLISHMENT PROPOSALS. The event of "he week, in a political sense and as affecting Wales, has been the publication by Dean Owen, the Principal of St. David's College, Lampeter, of the Disestablishment scheme formulated by Mr Thomas Gee, the editor of the Baner, Several of the Welsh papers had gone to press just before the scheme appeared. Of course, Mr Gee's scheme is only a tentative one but it is ominous to remark that none of the Welsh papers which have as yet re- ferred to it have a word of commendation for the proposals. The Celt says that Principal Owen knows very well that it be the work of politicians to draw up a Disestablishment Hili, and not a work to be entrusted to the editor of a newspaper it will be soon enough for him to draw out his criticising machines when such a Bill has been issued." The Herald Cjirtiraeg believes that thanks are due to Mr Gee for attempting to concentrate the opinions of the people on this subject," but believes that his sug- gestions are very unsatisfactory and defective. It proceeds to demonstrate its objections to them principally on four groviuds. (1) The scheme does nothing towards uniting Wales." (2) It is suggested that the monfy should be given as charity tocertainclasses."(3) "The church budaings are offered free of rent to the members, bufc^ if their doctrine and ritual are distasteful the build- will be taken from them. This is an exceed- ingly unsatisfactory arrangement, and it is utterly contraiy to true religious freedom. e believe that the congregation, if they wish, ought to get possession of the buildings by paying a small sum as rent, and that their way of wor- shipping ought by no means to be under the con- trol of the parish vestry. If the congregation does not wish to get the buihhng on rent, it ought to be let (for purposes of public worship only) to the highest bidder." (4) "With regard to paying off the present clergy, Mr Gee proposes to give, for every year of service, 1-60rh part of the tithe after deducting costs." The Herald then gives examples. Thus a clergyman whose income was £200 a. year had been a vicar for five years, he would henceforth gut £20 a year. It proceeds Whatever the people of Wales think of this proposal, it is perfectly certain that Englishmen will never consent to such narrow terms. Mr Gow maintains that these are the terms by which public officers are pensioned. Yes, but they knew when they were appointed what the terms were. But clergymen were appointed for life without reference to pension. We believe that it will be utterly useless to cut down the stipends of the present clergy and fm that reason the att6nlpt to do 1'0 is worse than useless. Many other things in Mr Gee's scheme appear t< be defects, on which we need not dilate to-day." The Golenad, the Tyst, and the Cyrnro, which were published at the end of the week, make no comments en the scheme. The Llan stigmatises it as a Machiavellian scheme." All will watch with interest what Mr Gee himself will say in the next Baner. One can safely predict that there will he some hard hitting at his old opponent, Dean Owen. R. s, llCGHES. The untimely death of the popular Welsh composer is referred to 111 the le;¡di!1 columns of many of the Welsh newspapers. His appearance as a soug-writer—synchronous with that of Dr Joseph Parry, Mr Emlyn Evans, and Mr Win. Davies, who with him are the four patriarchs of Welsh song—marked a new era in Welsh musical history. His songs were ahnoso invariably written with grt'at rapidity and on the spur of the moment they suffer from a want of revision and c.ue. They display immense fertility, and are remarkable for their wonderful profusion and luxuriance of exquisitely beautiful melodies. The Celt, in a leader 011 him, says:—"The strength of tills mmncal compospr lay In lns power to write melodies which clung in the ear and in the heart of the people. Golomen Wen will live while are sung in the Land of Song." The Gowell G-ymreig also in a. leader believes that it may safeiy be said that some of his songs are immortal. He had been endowed with a musical genius of the first grade, and with the powers of reaching the hearrs of the people through song. He sacrificed his brilliant talents on the altar of his countiy, and strove to elevate the music of the sanctuary among his own nation. Though dead R. S.' will yet speak in his charming and beautiful melodies, and his name will be honoured for many ages to come." Gicalia thinks thai it may be said of him that he was one of the sons of genius; he was like a bubbling well, constantly flowing over its limits. To com- pose a song was for him frequently but a few minutes' work, and scarcely a concert passes by in Wales without the appearance of 0110 of his songs on the programme. His productions were so popular that he was called by some the 'Sullivan of Musical talent displayed itself very early in him, for 111 1862. when he was only eight years, he won the prize for pianoforte playing at the National Eisteddfod." The Goleuad ends its notice with a suggestive "but in his manner :—" He possessed great musical gemus, and wrote music which at ail times reachcd the heart of the Welshman. But The Herald Curaraeg, the Tarian, the Brython Cymreig, tho Tyst, the Cymro, and other papers aIm have notices of the deceased musician. THK MACAZINKS FOR MAIWH. It has been said that periodical hteTàture-the literature of magazines aud of newspapers-Is the peculiar feature in the literary history of this century. Certain it is that this is true of Welsh literature in the present day, when every shade of politics, every sect of religion, and almost every school of thought even has its magazine. Foremost in importance among Welsh magazines are Cijviru, Y Geninen, and Y Traethodydd. The last issues of Cymru and cf Y Geninen have already been noticed in this column. Y Traethodydd for many years had the same posi- tion in tho Welsh literary world as the "Edinburgh Review" had in England. Some of the most valuable essays m the Welsh language appeared in it in the forties and the fifties of this century. Under the editorship of the late Dr Lewis Edwards, of Y Bala, it soared far above anything of the kind in Welsh litera- ture Many of the ablest articles were written by the editor himself, and those which combine the biography and criticism of distinguished authors (e.g!, those on Goethe and on Mil ton are unsurpassed by anything of the kind m the elsh language. The pre-eminent position then occupied by Y° Traethodydd, has now been taken by younger rivals but even now the older mugazma maintains an enviable reputation. 11115 momh s number is admirably got up; and it has some noteworthy articles The most perhaps, is that by Mr Ivor James, on Pritchard," where with great skill and cogency he endeavours to show, from intrnal and circum- stantial evidence, that none other than the Old Vicar" was the author of the Vwk Carvvi y Cymry;" which was published in London 111 1631.

NorES BY GEORGE FREDERICK. The intentions of owners responsible for more than one Lincoln Handicap representative have yet to be fathomed, the Newmarket horses especially still affording a puzzling problem to the critics a.t headquarters. A couple of trials between some of Peek's horses has afforded little or no insight into the mysteries of this stable, for even in the face of the slight demonstration observable respecting Mac-ready, there are plenty of good judges still to be found who maintain all unshaken faith in Prince Hnupton as the even- tual representative of Sir J. B. Maple. A large section of the public, on the other hand, seem more favourable to Gangway and lVhcreadv. The latter, somehow or other, has always been a sort of favourite with small backers, and he was ex- pected on two or three occasions last year to bring off a nice coup for his owner and supporters. He was a bit of a failure, however, and even if he is Peck's selection at the finish, there is nothing to rave about in his public career. Between Sabra and Florrie there is also a doubt as to the better of the pair, and a similar state of alifairs is observ- able in respect to Lady Hermit and Simonian, Lottery and Opopouax, Acrobat snd Vaulter, Tanzmeister and Ionia, and the Arundel-trained lot, Admiral Benbow, Linkboy, and Worcester. In some instances, however, the monetary difii. culties seem to have been surmounted, and I believe this will be found true in the cases of Pensioner, Mina, King Charles, Weymouth, Wrinkles, Marcion, Wolf's Crag, and Kontigern. A few trials within the next twenty-four hours will necessarily bring some of the doubtful ones more to the front, of whom and the extreme out- side division a Jot is likely to ue heud during the week. I have received a quiet tip about the Jubilee Stakes winner, Euclid, and though the Prism colt's chance is not apparent on paper, the information comes from such a good quarter that I am loath to ignore the claims of the Jevington horse. Should Marcion, who can claim some capital judges as admirers, hit the mark, he will have accomplished a remarkable performance for one of his age, but I doubt his possession of all the laudatory gifts generally ascribed to the north-country cult. Worcester and Wolf's Crag —the latter Bradford's mount, now that Orontes has gone wrong—are more to my fancy than Marcion but candidly I have no great faith in a repetition of last year's triumph for the young- sters. Some weeks back I learned that Mina would be dangerous for the contest under notice, and plumped accordingly for the Middleham mare, so that readers of the Echo who took the hint at that time can now afford to stand on velvet. From what is heard the stable are very confident over MINA, so that I am UIKW no necessity to waver in my allegiance, but at the same time it may be noted that my ounsider, KENTIGERN, is undergoing a capital preparation, and not a horse in the nice will be fitter for the battle than the son of Cardinal York and Mona- cdla. Bv the way, it would he rather a strange coincidence were Cardinal York to set the seal on his stud fame by furm-hing a double for the coming events—viz., Kentigeru for the Luicoln Handicap and The Primate for the Grand National. He may it is far from beiug impos- sible. The Grand National has become a disheartening sort of race to deal with. Never has there such a. slaughter of fancied candidates, as with the exception of the two top weights nearly every horse due to run has quite recently met with defeat or fallen when fulfilling engagements for minor racei. What makes thf contest so awkward to deal with is the fact that years of experience have proved the impossibility of a horse carrying anything over the fatal 12st h«ing capable of win- ning the big steeplechase, and vet in the present instance it is dtfficult-Ill fact, almost impossible — to point out any single chaser oc sufficient merit to upuold the pre- cedent of byegone years. Whatever animal one may chouse for the purpose of upsetting Cioister and The Midshipmite, something fatal to his prospects can be adduced against him. Take Father O'Flynn, for instance. Many judges think last year's hero is quite equal to winning .ig.UIl this time, but looked at 111 a practical light his chance does not look reassuring. It was only the othor day that the father met with defeat from a moderate chaser like Arrati, but this performance has been glossed over by his thick and thin admirers, the reason gjven being want of condition. This may, of course, be a valid reason for his defeat; but it 18, at any rate, not a happy omen for farther Aintree honours. Prior to the Grand National last year, wherein he was set an easier task by some 201b., he won all his minor races with the greatest of ease, defeating far more creditable opponents than Arran but this season his only appearances in public have been failures. With a far heavier task now before him it stands to reason thu a failure, in whatsoever company, so near tho decision of the Grand National must make the warmest admirers of the Melton Mowbray horse somewhat sceptical as to his winning chauce when weighted with list 111b. Then, again, the same difficulty irises with regard to Why Not proof was recently forthcoming of a deterioration in speed, though so far as jumping is c mc»-rn< d he may be as good as ever he wa.s. He is getting on too in the sere and yellow 1eaf,and it is palpable that of late the Win- chester horse is not the Why Not of three or four years ago. His friends seem to be rather sanguine about his Liverpool prospects, but still there is a doubt—and a, very serious doubt, too—as to whether the old descendant of Castlereagh and Twitter has not seen his palmiest days. White Cockade, Roman Oak, Innisfail, Lady Helena Parbatello, fearsfield, and a host of others have also failed in minor races, and the only real candidate who can boast of anything approaching good form, in addition to Cloister and the Midshipmite, is The Primate. There is, however, a singular prejudice against the son of Cardinal York and Myfanwy, and people who are capable judges do not take kindly to the Grately-traiued "horse. He is reputed a non- stayer and a bad jumper, and yet he has always come off with flying colours over the diflieult Sundown country. Ho. has defeated The Midshipmite and Father O'Flynn at near about the present Grand National weight, over three and miles at Sandown Pt k. He did the same at Gatwick when a five-year-old wish Cloister and Ilex, the respective weights being The Primate lOst, Cloister 12st lib, and Ilex 12st 7ib, the distance ueiuv three miles and a. quarter; and as showing a possession of fine speed he cantered away with the Ladies' plate at Sandown, a flat race of three miles, from Greek Man and Hollington, tho verdict being six lengths and three lengths respectively. A recent victory at Sandown also proves that the horse is in form at the present time, so that on public performances The Primate alone is the only chaser with any pretensions of being a source of danger to Cloister. With Lady Helen also in the same interest a great deal will no doubt depend on stable iulentions, for it is rumoured at home that Lady Helen is the superior wf The Primate but that is a jnatrer that must be solved later on. Of the two. The Primate is doing the stronger preparation. Conse- quent on the successes of Tenby recently, Cheroot has come in for some recogmtion. and there has also been a good commission worked for Golden Gate. Tit for Tat and Lucky Admiral have a good following, but their form is bad, and of the extreme outsiders I should think there would be more danger from The Boy and Faust than anything else. Loth are clever chasers, and not without public form of a reliable character; but viewed from everY standpoint the race is a perplexing one i deal with. On the one hand, we have to bear in mind that even better animals than Cloister have failed when essaying a similar performance; and on the other ha.nd there is always the difficulty of naming any animal that possesses the requisite form to cope with the favourite. As slated IJove, the only one that approaches the necessary quali- fication is The Primate, but; with Lady Helen reported his superior a final decision must be withheld until next week. Some two-yar-olds have already undergone private tests with a view to the Brocklesby Stakes, but very few of them have succeeded in getting the better of the older trial horses. None of Sir J. B. Maple's were able to cope with CcehtS, though probably it would be expecting too much of the young ones to defeat a smart trial horse of this description. Hayhoe found Braga, a iiewlv- bred son of Brag and The Fiddler's Wife, toe fast for John Mytton and the Petrarch colt. Rlivthm looks liko being the best of Marsh's lot. A high reputation has been awarded by the cribic" at headquarters to the colt by Chitahob (ML of J Windsor, trained by Gurry, but the trainer Ijmiself denies thetrutbs of thelaudatory reports thnt have appeared concerning the young Chitabob. Gun y is abo credited with training a smart one in Pa pel i no, a son of Florentine and Heresy, and other trainers in possession of smart two-ye^r-olds may be named in George Dawson, who has a nice filly named Mods and Jarvis, represented bv a filly from Satiety out of Chaff, and a fjllv'by Royal Hampton out of Bal Gal. Young Tom Jennings found ('ostello to be better than Trojan, and the colt must be above th1! average to be able to get in front of such a taskmaster as tho son of Trapeze; but possibly the highest reputed ■ trial must be ascribtd to I-aragraph. a daughter of Paradox, and La Lyre. This young lady has the credit of overthrow- ing Rainbow when the pair weru put together, but as Rainbow is gifted with a rare possession of speed the trial seems to be rather too high to be tni". Very likely the wcritsofthe youngster are good, but Tom Leader personally is said to be more favourable to the Brocklesby pros- pets of his own filly, Delightful Lady. Several judges who have seen Glare, a daughter of Ayr- shire and Footlight, trained by Blackwell, peo- nounce this filly as the bestBrooklesby representa- tive likely to emerge from headquarters, but from all that, it is, we hear, very questionable whether anything of real merit has been unearthed through the trial- that have already taken place. °

This good lady appeared at the Penarfch poll re-court, on Monday, to explain the remissness of her pony, wbiol>, on a certain date at 1.30 in the morning, had been found roaming about the highway.—The Bench thought the defendant should instil into her beast the principles of early retiring, and fined her 5, and costs.

On returning the clothes were missed. They were subsequently found in tbe pos.es8ion of the two piisoners, who tried to gain admittance to a boarding-house on the strength of their security. The evidence against Ayrcs not being conclusive he w,"3 acquitted and tiie other man, admitting the offence, was committed to gaol for two months, wifcli bard labour.

Goldsworthy, magis- trates—Edwin Perry, proprietor of tne onmi- buses running between Newport and Mainde.e, and Charles Daakin, driver in Mr Perry's employ, were charged with cruelly working a horse.—Inspector Watr, of the Royal Society for the of Cruelty to Animals, stated that on the 2nd inst. he saw defendant Deakin driving two horses attached to :t 'bus. He examined one of the animals and found that it was lame in both fore lc", and the animal bad "rease, and was suffering from general debility. The horse was nothing but skin and bone, and was a disgrace to any public vehicle. He ordered the horse to be taken to the etables, and that was done. Witness saw the horse being wotkfd on Wednesday last. In answer to Mr Sykc, solicitor, the inspector said the horse had some bread, but it was one of the has beens."—Mr EPerry was called for the defence, and stated that the horse was ex- amined by a veterinary surg-on on the 2nd lust., and a certificate WAS given that the horse was fit to be worked.

Mr Taylor, supervisor of the Inland Revenue at Carmarthen, prosecuted and Mr J. F. Morris (of M' s-;rs Barker, Morris, and Barker), defended. — David Harries, Inland Revenue officer at St. Cleat's, said that he went to the shop on the 4th of February, and asked the defendant's son, who was in charge of the shop owing to his father's illness, for a sliver albert. He replied that tt ere were none in the shop, but that if lie called later on he would have one for him from a jeweller's traveller, who was then in the town. He subsequently returned, and purchased a. silver albert, which was above five penny- weights in weight, and was marked with the plain retail price of 24s.—Mr Whiteoak, Inland Revenue officer at Carmarthen, said that the chain weighed 207, and 6 penny weights.—The defendant's son denied that lie told tne last wit- ness lie would get the albert from the traveller. He had brought it recently from his uncle's jewellery shop in Lammas-street, and he also denied that there were any silver watches or alberta for sale in the shop.—The Bench re- tired to consider their verdict, and, on returning, Mr Thomas (Welifield) said that they had found the case proved, and had decided to fine the defendant £ 3, including costs.—The Mayor said that he did not agree with the decision.

PRIDE GOETH BEFORE A. FALL. I Acquaintances of Wm, .Broadbridge in North Finchley—having no fixed place of residence he has a good many of them, mostly undesirable, in the neighbourhood—wore astonished the other morning when that gentleman came down from his twopenny doss without any appetite for breakfast. Kven the generous offer of half a red-herring, made bv a colleague, was refused on the ground that he "was off his feed." He's gettin' proud," said one of his fellow-dossers. "And he a toff this morning ?" added another. Why, he's got on a noo weskit and a clean shirt I never spp'd him wit" such a thing be ore in my life." It was quite true. William was unusually brilliant in his waistcoat, and dress plastron, and sallied forth to show the inhabitants of Fitichley his finery and to sun himself. While he was standing in an elegant attitude against a lamp- post in front of a public-house a gentleman and his wife passed, and by chance turned tueir gaze upon the doss house masher. Both started. Why, that's my waistcoat;" snouted the former, pointing fo the garment William was wearing. Yes, dear," cried the lady, and that's your shirt as well." Thev were each right, and a polieenian at once took Broad- bridge into custody. His hick of appetite at break- fast was also explained. He bad broken into a house in Winifred-plaeo, and after gorging him- self with a cottage-loaf, a quarter-pound of butter, 0ter, and some jam tarts, he took away the articles of iii question. Such an unusual feast deprived him of his normally robust hunger. He admitted the charge, and has been remanded for inquiries.

FOOTEA LL. GLAMORGANSHIRE POLICE v. NEW- PORT POLICE. A matcn bei/wenn teams representing the Glamorganshire and the Newport Borough pohce forces was played 011 the ground of the Pill- gwenlly Club, Newport. Glamorganshire pressod immediately after the start, the visiting quartette showed a good exhibition of the passing a'air.o, Rees scoring in a favourable position. D. Evans landed the goal. The homesters were now working well together, and as the result of a determined effort, the visitors' line was placed in jeopardy, but only a. toueh-iu-goal resulted. Glamorganshire now returned to the attack, and pressed their opponents, and Rees again scored. D. Evans took the place, which failed. Newport, after the kick-out, went away wilii ,t rtish to Glamorganshire territory. Within the visitors' 25, several scrums took place, and ultimately Peacock scored for Newport. F. Smith's attempt at goal failed. HALF-TIME SCOUE G. T. M. Glamorganshire 110 NHWPOKT 0 1 1 After the interval Newport pressed, and Glamor- ganshire were penned within their 25. After a scrummage the ball was p.is-ed out to Peacock, who dropped splendidly. The visitors now re- asserted themselves, and Rees put in several use- ful runs, once Rees was only pushed into touch on the line. Glamorganshire were not to be denied, for R es shortly afterwards scored a splendid try, which was not improved. Newport had the best of the remaining play, and made several efforts to score, but only a minor resulted. FINAL SCORE '(3. T. j,i.

SOUTH WALES LEAGUE CUP COMPETITION. CAKDIFF v. TKELKVVTS. The return match between the above clubs took place at Trelewis. The weather was very favour- able, but the ground was anything but tit. The Card i ff team went awaj minus their goal-keeper and their captain, and their prospects were any- thing but favourable under the circumstances. Morrissev, the r serve man, was placed centre half, and Gibson, one of the committee men, volunteered to fill the ever-despised (losition of goal-keeper. About four o'clock the ball was centred, and the respective players took up their position. Trelewis evidently meant to lower the Cardiff colours, as they had Thompson, kite Cardiff full back, also W. Lloyd, and one of the Ttphartis players to strengthen their tenm. Trelewis won the toss, and Cardiff made a start. The game was really fast, Cardiff pressing tor some time, but Trelewis made some good dribbles, and had hard lines oil two or three occasions, Gibson stopping with precise judgment and cool- ness. At times the players fouled sadly, but Mr Roberts, the referee, ever on the alert, made the puuisnment meet the crime. For three-quarters of an honr the game was one continued run of hard work, both sides eager to draw blood, and when the whistle was blown at half-time neither had scored. Ou resinning, the game was very exciting, and Trelewis, from an off-side position", got the boll between the posts amidst a hurricane, of shouts, but the referee ruled it as no goal. Both sides cnarged heavily, and were repeatedly punished. Cardiff pressed, and Debney scored, but his position was likewise off-side. Troiewis cleared their end, and some good heading and passing to"k place, Barnes and Farthing keeping the ball in play from the back division, and Thomson doing good, useful work for the opposite side. However, the Cardiff right wing got possession, and the ball was put through by tills being the first genuine point. Some dispute arose regarding the ball b(-ilg handled previous to the scoring of the goal, but the referee soon settled that point. Again the ball was centred, aud Trelow.s struggled hard to equalise, and made one or two very hard to equalise, and made one or two very dangerous shots, but Gibson stopped them all. Towards the end Cardiff seemed to gain renewed vigour, and were bent on another notch. The whole of the forwards played a most unselfish game. At last the outside right wing passed to Debney on the inside, who took full possession, dr ooled to the front, and shot another beauty. W. H. Oricnton played a solid game, feeding both right and left wings with judgment. Dalo made good runs and passed well, and Ic; aren was continually on the ball. Morr'ssey is good at half, and shapes well, considering he has only lately transferred lus affections from Rugby to Association. The Trelewis team is no small nut to crask, and with perseverance will soon develop into a good team. The Cardiffians have now onlv one more cup tie to play. FINAL KKSU LT CARDIFF 2 goals. TRELEWIS Nik CARDIFF v. PONTYI RIDD. To suit the convenience of the followers of both clubs, the kick-off in this match, to be played on Wednesday next, at the Cardiff Arms Park, has been altere to 4.45 instead of 4.15 as advertised on the bills. \'hlTr STAt' V.
