ADVANCE NOTFS AND SEA-DEBTS.
ADVANCE NOTFS AND SEA- DEBTS. SIR E. J. REED AND THE BILL FOR AMENDING. THE LAW, Mr Graffunder, of Cardiff, has received the following letter from Sir E. J. Reed, M.P. :— Dear Mr Graffunder,—I have given very .areful attention to the proposed Bill for amend- ing the law relating to advance notes and debts of seamen. With regard to the proposed measure itself, I confess that I can see no real ob- jection to all that is askfd for in the first ten clauses of the proposed Bill. It seems to me most reasonable to give to the advance note a prescribed official form, and to give the executed note the full position of a bill of exchange. Nor oan I see why, when the shipowner has accepted the note, and it has received the endorsement of the seaman, the holder should not be fully en- titled to recover upon it, or to dea! with the note in a commercial manner. But when we come to the 11th clause of the Bill, 1 feel obliged to ask you to reconsider that part of it which would impose upon the Board of Trade the necessity of notifying its representatives in every port in the United Kingdom of the unsatisfied debt of any individual seaman. I think this is too Jarge a demand to make upon a publio depart- ment, and I will be glad if you and pour friends will kindly reconsider this latter part of the Bill, and if you agree with me, let toe have Clauses 11, 12, and 13 in a revised form. { have made a point of ascertaining whether any purpose would be served by introducing the Bill in this Session, and have come to the con- tusion that nothing but harm would result from this. The present Session is, and is universally known to be, but the dragging-out of a Session which-ought to have ended last August, and it creates a prejudice against any legislation which is attempted, or even formally proposed, under existing circumstances. The proper time to introduce it will be after the brief recess which is now to take place—indeed, after the present lon is completed, and when the new Session commence as it will no doubt do in February. —Yours very truly, January 4th, 1394. E. J. REBD."

SCIENCE AND ART IN CARDIFF. THE PROPOSED NEW MUSEUM AND GALLERY. A meeting of the Cardiff Museums Committee was held last evening at the Town Hall. Present —Dr. Vachell (presiding), Alderman Fulton, Councillors White, Ramsdale, E. Thomas, Good, Andrews, and Evans, Messrs J. Pyke Thompson, J. L. Wheatlev, and K Seward, and the curator John Ward, F.tS.A.).—The Chairman ex. pressed thanks to Messrs Seward and Thomas for their gift to the art gallery of the picture of "Newton Sands,J by Mr H. Shepherd, Bridgend, which gained one of the highest places in the ?aris Salon.—A communication was received irona the town clerk, notifying that the corpora- tion had decided to levy the full halfpenny rate provided for under the Museums and Gymnasiums Act of 1891. Previously the committee had been :0 receipt of half the rate. and it was decided to continue the work on the same lines, allowing the xtra. farthing rate to accumulate as a special fund. On the recommendation of the sub- committee, the chairman and deputy-chairman [Councillor. F. J. Beavan), Mesars E, Thomas, Seward, T. H. Thomas, Andrews,and White were appointed to watch the interests of Cardiff in the matter of the proposed national museum for Wales.—The Chairman reported that with Coun- :iHor F. J. Beavan he had, on the instruction of the sites and buildings committee, had an inter- new with Mr Corbett wlth regard to the proposed purchase of a site for the suggested museum and trt gallery. Lord Ente was prepared to sell the iand for far as they could esti- mate, was, the Chairman said, a very reasonable 4um"t j v on .other Condition was that there shouldI be no windows overlooking Lord Bute's ground. This in a building of two or three storeys would present a considerable disadvan- *.n(^0° being pointed out it was agreed that windows of ground; glass might be made.

TO-DATS GREAT FOOTBALL MATCH.
TO-DATS GREAT FOOTBALL MATCH. ARRIVAL OF THE WELSHMEN AT LIVERPOOL. NO CHANGES IN THE SIDES. PROSPECTS OF THE TEAMS. [BY OLD STAGBR."] To-day England and Wales once more ineet in friendly rivalry in the football field, an it is, perhaps, not too much to say that of t e en games previously played not one has been inves> with such peculiar interest as that set down or decision at Birkenhead Park this afternoon. Whatever the outcome of the match, to w ic side victory falls, Welshmen can beforehand pat themselves on the back and claim to hiaveac 1 ve a triumph. For years the leaders of the "ff js Union, men like Rowland HiHt 11 Vassall, and others have been proving en ire y to their own satisfaction, though not, »ppi y, to ours, that we Welshmen were, so to «pealc, heretics, in that we boldly struok out a liue for ourselves aud stuck to it through thick and thin. How, as one glances at the battle formation of the English team to-day, rise op the old, old argu- ments, so sedulously pumped into ua in season and out of season, that in playing four three- quarters we were entering the lists with our forces hadly arrayed, wbethei for attack or defence, that nine forwards must invariably beat eight, and so on, (UJ In club matches we might go on beating the finest of English olnbs, we Playing our game and they theirs; but all to no purpose. England could still beat us in International struggles, and therefore the English game must be the correct one. Of coarse no heed was given to the fact that for International purposes England had a practically inexhaustible array of talent to draw upon, whild our choice wag necessarily limited, a circumstance which made All the difference could the great and mighty ones of the Rugby Union but have seen it. Lesser lights of the English football world, for long hesitated, inclined to believe as they marked the triumphant progress I of individual Welsh clubs, that, after all there might be something in the Welsh --id-, and hence the occasional nibbling at the four three-quarter system by several well-known clubs over the border. But they never, with rare exceptions, could make up their minds to go the whole hog until the brilliant round of victories, which placed Wales at the head of the Unions Iaat year, brought full and convincing argument to bear on the subject. All through the present season the four three-quarter game has been extensively adopted in England, and to-day sees the final rampart of prejudice beaten down and the citadel stormed and won. The open mind of Mr Rowland Hill and his colleagues is no longer open to conviction, for they are now apparently convinced that the Welsh game is the game. At any rate, England plays four three-quarters to-day. Having adopted the Welsh game, it remains to be seen how the English team will play it. Un- doubtedly it is a game whioh requires to be well practised and thoroughly understood to make it effective. Therein the Welshmen have a great advantage. With one exception we have out the same fifteen that beat England last ypar, and every man of the team is familiar with the game and well versed in its peculiarities. Better still, the majority of them are fully accustomed to each other's play. As to the question whether the team could not have been made stronger for combination purposes, it is now too late to say anything. Indeed, all that could be said on the subject has been said, and it would be as unwie as ungracious on the eve of battle to criticise the troops whom, whether fit or not, we must rely upon to uphold our cause. That, win or lose, every man will do his best goes without saying, and than that none can do more. rhat England has a strong team out is undeni- able. The forwards are a particularly warm lot, and our front contingent will have to play for all they are Worth to hold their own. Last year the English pack carried all before them in the early part of the game—of course, they had the advan- tage of the extra man, which they won't have to-day—and if they oould have stayed as the Welshmen did, the result would have been vastly different. The lot out to day, though, may be depended upon to have got themselves "fit," and to beat them the Welsh pack will have to do so on their merits. Our greatest chance seems to lie with the backs, who at the four three-quarter game should prove far more than a match for the others. Good though the reputation of the latter mry be individually, they can scarcely be ex. pected to display such combination as we ought to get from our own backs. Still, I must own to fancying England's chance most: I incline to believe that more than one of our forwards has fallen off considerably since last year, and look to see them beaten. Should this fall about, the backs may pull us through. But there is this to remember: Four three-quarters may make amends even for a beaten pack when they have only three to face, but given a beaten pack and four men to get by and things wear a different aspect. Therefore much, if not every- thing, to-day, will, in all probability, rest with the forwards. Let us hope our forwards will re- member this, and rise to the ocowion.
THE ENGLISH TEAM.
THE ENGLISH TEAM. [BY A YORKSHIRE COITRESPONDENT.) The team which out so ignominious a figure against Wales at Cardiff twelve months ago was largely composed of members of south county clubs, and to this was attributed in some quarters the unexpected defeat which was scored out to the representatives of the Rose. Contrary to last season the North a month ago had the best of their match with the South, and as a conse- quence we find the English team composed of eight Northerners and seven Southern players. Yorkshire, as champion county last Beason, and champion of the North this season, is well repre. Mntéd, supplying no less than half-a-dozen players. Of these half-dozen players it may be remarked en- passant, as a sign of the times, that no less than four are the tenants of public-houses. The season of 1.892-93 wasthemostdisastrousonein the annalsof English football, for not only had the Englishmen to give up possession of the Calcutta Cup to Wales, but for the first time since the institution of international contests, England lost two out of its three engagements. The present ten contains the names of but four of the men who operated 12 months ago at Cardiff. They are R. E. Lockwood, J. T. Toothill, T, Broadley,and A. Allport. Amongst the remainder are seven players who make their debut in International footbaJl-J. F. Byrne, S. Murfitt, ü. A. Hooper, F. Firtb, H. Speed, J. Hull, and W. E. Tucker. Some of the others, however, have only once previously played for their country. It is generally considered in England that the team is a very strong one, quite powerful enough to regain the laurels lost last year at Cardiff and Leeds. For. the first time the team will play four three-quarters—a result caused as much as any- thing by the display of Wales last season. How the quartette of Englishmen willjplay this game was a matter about which there has been con- siderable doubt this week. Muifitt, Lockwood, and Firth are thoroughly acquainted with this (C; the Welsh," as it is termed in England) style of play, but Hooper is more accustomed to the old-fashioned style, and it was thought that he might upset the combination which would other- wise have been assured had another Northerner been chosen in his place. At half, too, some dissatisfaction was expressed at the selection of Wells and Taylor, for, though both players are very brilliant when playing an attacking game, it is known that on the defence they are not so useful as several Englishmen who could be named. Each man, too, requires feeding by his fellow-half-back, so that it is thought that immediately behind the scrimmage Wales would be likely to hold a ijecide4 advantage. The forward selection is universally approved, as including the best men in EaglAnd for playing a hard, determined game. in whioh fast following UP. combined with lusty tackling, would come m useful. The abilities of Bancroft as a full-back are held in high esteem in England, but in Byrne it is considered that bbs pust is admirably filled. Taken all round, the general opinion is thtt England will win. Some few remarks about each member of the team individually may not be uninteresting. R. E. LOCKWOOD (H-kml)ndwikeaud Yorkshire) has been selected captain of the English team. It was thought probable that Lockwood would bo unable to play, in fact, such would have been the case had not the Yorkshire presi- dent on Thursday journeyed to Heck. mondwike, and used his persuasive elo. quence with such good effect. Lockwood first came into promi- nence when connected with the Dewabury club. It is half-a- doaen years since he first played for England, and his has missed but few Inter' national matchessince. He owes much of his earner success to W. Stadden,the old Cardiff half- back, who, it will be remembered, migrated to Dawsbury some years ago. The "Little Wonder," as he is called in Yorkshire, possesses a record of International football superior to that of any English player, past or present. Since entering into the pubiic-hoase business. Lockwood Iws put on flesh considerably, with the result tliat he is not so fast as he onoe was. He is, however, a better tackier, whilst his kicking is as olever as of yore. As a judge of the game the English captain has few equals. "Dicky" has never been known to make a speech in publio, and the fact that as captain of the team he would have to do the honours of hospitality at the dinner succeeding the match is stated by some well-informed people to have had something to with Lockwood's desire not to turn out at Birkenhead. J. F. BYRNE (Moseley and Midland Counties) came into prominence this season through playing with the Midlands in the championship matches. With the old International Mitchell Kors de combat, a place was found the Midlander in the South team, which was played at Manchester last month. So well did he perform that he gained International honours for the first time by being selected to play against Wales. He is a splendid drop kick, and never fails to field the ball. His tackling is perhaps a trifle faulty at times, but taken all round be is up to Inter- national form. F. FIRTH (Halifax and Yorkshire) is one of the most dangerous wing players ever turned out of Yorkshire. A smart, though sparsely-built young fellow, Firth is very fast. If proof were needed of this it could be furnished by his stock of prizes won last summer at athletic sports. Unlike many fast men Firth is a good all-round footballer, a.nd does not rely on his running alone, but is a. good drop kick, picks up cleanly, and can tackle with the best of them. Firth learned his football at Liversege. He was then for some time a member of the Brighouse Rangers' team, and finally settled down with the present Yorkshire Cup Holders three seasons ago. SAMMY MURFITT (West Hartlepool and Durham) is a Yorkabireman by birth. He is employed in the dockyards at Hartlepool, where he has been situated for several years. Previously, however, he resided at Hull, where he first learned to play the game. He was at that time a member of the Sautnoaks F.O., a promising organisation, which became eo formidable a rival to the Hull F.C. that the latter eventually" bought it out. Murfitt has played for Durham for the last two seasons. He per- formed well in November against Yorkshire, but it was in the Durham v. Cheshire that he made the name that secuted him a place in the North team. He is a substitute for Saville, of Stock- port, but the general opinion is that the substitute is equally as good, if not better, than the player whose position he takes. Murfitt has gained a great name for the way in whioh he follows up his own kicks. It is somewhat remarkable that after leaving Hull, Murfitt for a time gave up football, but was unearthed by a Tudoe (Durham) publican, with the result that he has:attained International honours. C. A. HOOPER (Middlesex Wanderers and Middlesex) did not play up to his best form in the North v. South match. In fact, his display was not by any means up to International form. Still, so great a reputation did he possess in Southern circles that he was granted a position 10 the team in face of better play shown by his Southern confreres. He is fast, and can kick a fair length, but tack- ling cannot be considered one of his strong points, neither is he absolutely perfect in fielding the ball. O. M. WELLS (Cambridge University) is a strong add skilful half-back, who made his mark last season for the Light Blues. Playing against Yorkshire for the Rest of England last Maroh, he showed exceptionally fine form, with the result that he was found a place in the team which played Scotland. In this match he hardly did so well. After his brilliant show this season against the North, however, be could not be kept out of the present teMh. E. W. TAYLOR (Rockcliffe and Northumber- land) is a very showy player, -Mid a prolific scorer, both for his club and county. Like his companion half, however, he likes to have someone to make the play for him, and in this he will find Wells want- ing. Taylor travelled down to Cardiff all Substi- tute last year, but was not called upon to play. Later in the season, though, he gained his cap against Ireland. He is not exactly an Inter- national half, by he happens to be a protege of Mr W. Cail, the English president. JOHN T. TOOTHILL is a member of the Bradford team, who gained his experience ten years ago with a Bradford Church Club, and from there migrating to the Manningham fifteen. In the season 1887-8 he joined the Bradford Club, with whom he has played ever since. In 1888 he was picked for the county team without having to go through the trials, and he has played for Yorkshire in every season since then. In 1890 he was chosen for the English team in the England v. Scotland match, and he has played in almost every Inter- national match since. He is an ideal for- ward, and besides being good in the scrimmage displays indomitable perseverance in following up, and always on the ball. Few players are mentioned oftener m reports of matches than Toothill. Although he is only 5ft. 8in. in height he weighs 12st 10lb, and is 23 years of age. He is a publican, and at present landlord of the Gardeners' Arms, Bradford. HARRY BRADSHAW is a member of the Bramley Club, with whom he has played for six or seven years. Two of his brothersalsoqoTv figure in the same club, Jim of ttrt ilk playing in six matches last week. Harry eta.nde5ft. 8in., and weighs 12st. 12Ib., and is Sst the sort of man for a hard-fought scrimmage. e was selected for hie county in the season '91, and bis name has never since been absent from the selected teams. His first International match was against Scotland in 1892, and his dashing play was such a prominent feature that he has played in every International match since. He is a roughish customer, but always plays a good, sound, honest game, and never tires. He was the best forward against Wales last year, and played in all three Internationals. He was selected in the North v. South match this season, but illness prevented him from turning out. TOM BROADLEY'S football career commenced five years ago with the Bmgley Club, which he is no the captain of, although he figured with the Bradford Club two years ago (during which time he played m bis first county match, against Durham, at Hull, and was selected for International honours the follow- ing year). He is 22 years of age, weighs 13st., and is 5ft. Bin. in height. He is an excellent and hardworking forward, an excellent tackier, and always on the alert for something to do, besides being a most consistent scorer. He is well liked by all his football acquaintances; and played against Wales and Scotland last season. H. SPEED is a member of the Castleford Club, and, beside* being a colliery worker, is a very steady indi- vidual in social life, and a favourite with his club- mates. He began his football five years ago with the Glass Houghton fifteen—a-club now defunct- is 5ft. 9in. in height, 24 years of age, and weighs 13st. He is one of the very best workers in a scrimmage, never interferes with a player unless it is to legally tackle him, and is quick on the ball after leaving the pack. Last seanon was his first for the county, and the present is his first Inter- national match. J. HALL (North Durham and Durham County) was not considered good enough for a place in the North team. He was, however, on the reserve, and being fortunate enough to be oalled upon to piay, was one of the finest forwards on the field in the match at Manchester. A more hard- working scrimmager oannot be found in the English team. He follows up like a hare, and does great things in the tackling department. When once set going with the leather at his toes he takes a tremendous amount of checking. With a little luck he will maintain his place in the English team this season. A. ALLPORT (Surrey and Blackheath) has a style of play rather deprecatory in present day football, of that cart-horse character more prominent in the days of the Gurdons, when the Blackheath fifteen could nearly push a house- end down. One may gather from this that he is sturdily set and can stand any amount of hard work, and this, in fact, is his chief worth, for he will be found as fresh as paint at th* finish. He is scarcely fast enough for an ideal forward, and last season only played against Ireland. F. SOANE (Somerset And Bath) is the secretary of the Somerset County Club, and first came into prominence in the Rest of England v. Yorkshire match last season. On the strength of an excellent display in this encounter he got his cap against Scotland. He is a smart player of the modern type, an excellent all- round man, and one well worth his place in any team. W. E. TUCKER (Cambridge University) was, until the inter-'Varsity match, an unknown quantity. He, however, did so well in that game that in due course he found his way into the South team, and has now graduated into the Eogiiflfo fifteen. Net Afraid øi. bwd work, Tucker is. ar useful scrimmager. In open, too, he is very fast, whilst he is no mean exponent of the dribbling game. Only young. Tucker has bi, future before him.
ARRIVAL OF THE WELSHTltAM…
ARRIVAL OF THE WELSHTltAM AT LIVERPOOL. OUR BKPORTKRS.] After a oold and most uninteresting journey, barren of notable incidents, the Welsh team have all arrived at Liverpool, which was reached not long before 10 o'clock, and nearly an hour after time. The grave doubts entertained as to the playing of the matoh owing to the continued frost were dispelled on arrival at the headquarteis of the Welshmen (the Adelphi Hotel) by the assurances of Mr Wallace, the local secretary, and the leading officials of the English Union, whj had just returned from visiting Birkenhead Park, that the precautions taken bad left the ground not only in playable, but in surprisingly good con- dition. It is much milder here than it has been in South Wales daring the past week, and there now seema every probability of the setting in of a thaw. About £100 worth of straw has been distributed over the turf, and with the exception of small patches, inadequately cohered, the enolosure^is described a* almoet as 10ft.. velvet, this being attributable to its sheltered position. Little confidence here it expressed as to the chances of England's winning, the problematical quantity being the forwards, who have been picked primarilYWith the ide* thttk they will be able to tush the scrums and so prevent the Welsh from heeling out and putting their three-quarters in motion. On this point the Welsh match com- mittee, all of whom are in Liverpool, believe that the combination which gained the three viotories of last year will again prove successful, and that their eight will out-manceuvre their opponents. The Welsh pack who travelled up alone has been instructed not to reply to the tactics of what appear to be stronger men by trying to carry the ball before them, a but to play the Welsh game and simply to holdup their opposition and feed me nai ves. Jfor the tirst time for years the Welsh team in the initial matcb (if the season will be as selected, and every man reports himself fit. NAMES OF THE PLAYERS.

"THE PERILS OF FOOTBALL."
"THE PERILS OF FOOTBALL." In the current issue of the Lancet there will be found a short article on The Perils of Football," in which attention is drawn to the possibly incomplete records of five deaths and numerous casuabies since the season began. At the same time a gloomy view is not taken of the sport, for it is pointed out that the value of a form of exercise which appeals by its splendid athletic possibilities, as much as by the moderation of its demands on their time and purse, to the whole of the people simfily cannot be over-estimated from a health- giving poiut of view, while the roll of disaster becomes comparatively insignificant as the number of players becomes larger." This broad view of the subject is, however, followed by the query whether the dangerous element can be lessened without spoiling the game. These are matters which the Lancet proposes to deal t with presently, from & professional point of view.

Ryan has tried a few of his Brocklesby young- sters, and the best out of the trial is the Spray colt, who had a, very near atrusgie with Ouck of the North. One result of the visit to Engmnd of L. S. Meintjes, the South African cyclist, has been his appointment as general Manager for Suuth Africa by one of the large English cycle companies. He will make Port Elizabeth lilS headquarters. All sportsmen will be glad to note that Colonel North haa decided to run his collieries in the face of the coal ring. It is a true sporting venture, with a bit of oof behind if he wins. The colonel says he means to give London cheap coal, and there'* millions in it," to quote the Mighty Dollar." It is extremely probable that the last has been eeenm Manchester and Bradford for some time of the famous Vettesian-Lorrettonian football combination. A member of the team has stated that the schools have decided to break fresh ground, and next year they will make London their headquarters while on tour. The proprietors of the Licensed Victuallers' Gazette have given the sum of £250 to be run for by whippet doga. The whippet is a greyhound in miniature, and runs 200 yards in 12sec. The dogs rnn very straight, and there is no element of cruelty in the sport as the whippets do not chase rabbits or hares, but run to their owners'. Mr Toague, whose name is now somewhat prominently before the sportin? public, has had a tairly successful career in the saddle. In addition to riding for the owner of R;"1 Rube, Mr Teague is connected with several of the Midland stables, and some years ago he had a nice run of f:tood luck on Teddy Weever's horses. Mr Teague does not confine his attention solely to racing in England, but in the summer is to be found riding on the Continent. In England last year he rode 13 winners. One of the great failures of last season was Mr Leopold Rothschild's colt Stali, by St. Simon, out of Bide-a-Wee. This animal cost 3,300g8. as a yearling, and be commenced the season with 33 engagements, including most of the heavy stakes. Stali never started, and some time ago he was turned out of training and sent frum Newmarket to his owner's paddocks at South- court, near Leighton Buzzard. The hackney is a type of horse that thrives fairly well in the African climate, and the Colonial Government of South Africa are im. porting hackney stallions for breeding purposes. The second consignment of four animals arrived safely at Cape Town by the Hawarden Castle. They are Master Syntax, Syracuse, Cavalier II., and Copmanthorpe Fireaway, all of whom are bred from good English stock. By the sate* steamer Mr Morgan, of Kimberley, took out a haokey mare, Pride of Town. Mr E. E. A. Oatley, the proprietor of the War. J wick Farm Racecourse. New South Wales, who has been on a visit to England, and attended many of our principal race meetings, has reached heme, and in expressing his opinion on the ques- tion of the English turf, states that while giving due credit tu our executive authorities for the manner in which racing is conducted here, he considers that better facilities for witnessing the sport are afforded to all classes in Austraha, and that in regard to general management Australians can more than hold their own in comparison. The entries for the spring handicaps are scarcely so numerous M last year, but on the whole the average of previous years has been fairly well maintained. The Lincolnshire Han- dicap oomee out with an entry of 71, the same number as in 1893; but in the oases of the Grand National, the Oity and Suburban, the Great I Metropolitan, the Chester Cup, and the Kempton Park Jubilee Stakes, a decline has to be ra- corded. The following table shows at a glance the comparative strength of the chief handicaps for some veara nast:— w 1887. '88. '89. '90. '91. '92. S3.

Miss Mary Thomas charmed the assembly with her beautiful contralto voice. Miss Kittie Davies delighted the audience by her artistic rendering of two solos on the violin, accompanied by her sister, Miss Carrie Davies. Mr Reginald Brophy also sang very sweetly. Mr C. M. Bill's, organ solo, Fantasia on the Vesper Hymn," was much appreciated.
