THE PROPOSED MEMORIAL TO LORD…
THE PROPOSED MEMORIAL TO LORD ABERDARE. TO THE EDITOR. ( *• ""Between the recommendations of the ^tters oE his Honour Judge Williams, Mr Arbhur ei"i and the later contribution to the dis- cussion from Mr Geo. Thomas Clark, of Taly- fcarn, there seems to be nothing to choose except on the question as to whether we pay our tes- timony to Lord Aberdare's name and fame by a Monument or by establishing scholarships in connection with the Welsh University. The Judge appears to be careful in framing bis letter to avoid the Scylla on the one side and the Charybdis on tile other. Mr George Clark, in your contemporary, evidently inclines towards the erection of a heroic statue in bronze to be plaoed on the old Infirmary plateau, the paltry Montage of the Cardiff University College. It is for the subscribers to the memorial to deter- filine what shape and form the tribute of a grateful public shall assnme. If it is to be a monu- ment, let it, be a, monument but that raises *be question, as Mr O'Neill fairly phrased it, as to which of the competing towns should be flowed to become its honoured site. If, on the lt"flr hand, the memorial is to take the form of a Scholarship, the case seems to me to be very much limplified. The scholarships should bo University itid not merely college pnzss. Tony should lttach to the University of Wales, and not to either of the University Colleges of Wales. They siiouid proceed from such a fund as all Wales sould freely subscribe to on the large and liberal terms Ms Gwilym Williams indicated in his letter.

THE PROFESSIONAL CYCLING MATCH…
THE PROFESSIONAL CYCLING MATCH AT CARDIFF. [BY PNEUMATIC]. The interest and sympathy, which has been excited over the deplorable occurrence taking place at the Quins' track, in the contest between A. W, Harris and Tom James, will be a sufficient excuse for once again reverting to it, and more particularly so in view of the fact that I have received a photograph taken by the instantaneous process, ou the snap-shot principle, by Mr Townsend, of Newport. This photograph, a sketch of which is here appended, will not only give the public a graphic idea of the natnre of the "foul" or collision between James and Harris, but it will also show the exact positions of tho two riders when within aboutayard of the tape, which, in view of the statementsmade by James subsequent to the match, becomes an important item of eorssideratiou. In the first place, however, the photograph makes it clear beyond all doubt that James did bore Harris 011 to the rails—not that this had evsr been denied even by James himself, but simply as a matter of fact; and secondly, that when the snap shot was taken, Harris was leading, though but slightly. With regard to this latter point, James has strongly denied that Harris ever got the lead from start to finish-; but in this photograph we have at least all impartial witness. The photo- graphic camera may flutter occasionally, but it is generally sound on main principles, and here is displayed beyond all question the decided advan- tsge gained by Harris under the most distressing circUlnstances-circnmstanceg which would have daunted most wheelmen from continuing the struggle, and which canne within an ace of ending his life. The photo also discloses another circum- stance which in the hurry and exsitement was lost sight of both by the public and the Press, namely, the uncomfortable predicament in which Mr White, of the Sporting Life, who officiated as starter, found himself just before the smash occurred. After starting his men on their race, this gentleman took up his position against the rails at the opposite end of the tape or chalk-line drawn across the track to that where the referee, Mr Pike, also of the Sporting Life, stood inside the track. He did this presumably to confirm the decision of the referee in case of a very close finish, but had he remained at his post at the finish of the race he must un- doubtedly have been killed or maimed for life, seeing that Harris went smash into the railings just at the very point where he had been stand- ing. The photograph, however, demonstrates Mr White in the very act of making a wild rush across the track in order to avoid the threatened danger, and it shows clearly also that he was not a second too soon. It may be thought; indeed the suggestion has been hinted at, that his crossing the track at such a critical juncture, whilst being only natural and proper in the interests of his own personal safety, might have bad some effect in causing James to bore Harrisclean into the railings, but here, again, the photograph destroys any presumption of this kind. Mr White is shown running almost half-way across the track whilst the riders are about two or three yards from the tape and have plenty of room to get through with- out danger of coUiding with the starter. Further than this, J ams is clearly defined in the act of steering to the left towards the centre of the track, as though desirous of giving Harris more room to get through, and how it came about that he again pressed Harris on the right was a mystery. Within two yards of th« tape he evidently had a clear course, IU<, in fact, he had all along, and he is shown in the act of availing himself of it. Yet a second later, or less than a second later, he forces Harris on to the rails, though not before the Leicester youth had increased his lead by half a wheel as they crossed the chalk-line. It is a capital photograph all round, and refleots every credit upon Mr Townsend, and had he been able to get his camera on to the men half a second later tha result would bave been even more convincing. Had the race finished in tlio ordmiuy way, there is no doubt the snap-shot would have been taken as they crossed the line, but unexpected incidents such as the one depictnd would naturally upstib anyone's calculations. Iudeed, from what I gather, Mr Townsend, starbled by the crash of the collision, let his camera fall, a.nd was nob quite sure, until examining it afterwards, whether his shot had hit the inark at all. From a personal examina- tion of the photo, I am inclined to think that Mr White's action in crossing the track, which ho was compelled to do for his own safety, seeing that the crowd present would have made it a difficult and slow process for him had he attempted to get over the railings, had no effect on the position of the riders. They were driving into the rails when he started to get out of the way and consequently his action could not have affected the result, save that of securing his own personal safety. As to Harris having led by half a wheel, or. as the Sporttng Life puts it, nine inches, I am in a position to verify from personal and close observation, and it is gratifying to me that Mr Townsend's silent witness should have so clearly borne out my own description of the. race as published in these columns. HARRIS'S MISHAP. IMPROVEMENT IN HIS CONDITION. Inquiry on Wednesday has elicited that Harris, has taken a decidedly favourable turn, and is now pronounced by his medical attendants to be on a fair way to convalescence. For the first time since his unfortunate injury he fell into a natural sleep early that morning, and on awaking the delirium bad passed away and he was able to partake of nourishment in the shape of beef tea. James, his opponent, who has expressed himself as sincerely sorry for the occurrence, has, after several visits, been allowed to see the patient, and has proved his sincerity by offering the whole of his share of the gate to his victim.
HUNTING NOTES.
HUNTING NOTES. BY NIMROD. The Llanbarran Hounds met all Penfcyrch on Monday. The meet was not so large as usual, and under the oircumstances I am more than pleased the master (Mr Blandy Jenkins) was nob present. I also missed Mr Morgan. We had not long to wait before Billy, the huntsman, and Davies, the whip, put in their appearance with 18% couples of bounds. Amongst the company present I noticed the Misses Jenkins, Llanharran House; Colonel and Mrs Fisher and Master Fisher, Radyr; Mr Ivor Williams, Duffryn Ffrwd Rev. Mr Williams, the Vicarage Dr. Edwards, TafFs NVoll; Mr Evans, Ynys; Mr Tom Roece, Cardiff, and Mr Masters, Lanelay. The latter was mounted on a very taking cob. The first covert drawn was Coed-y-Bedw, where the old Pentyrch Hounds formerly were kennelled, which, proving blank, amove was made round the Garth Mountain on to Llantwit Fardre, and then to the Bassett coverts, doubling back again to the starting point, without even getting on the trail of a fox. We have before us particulars of the point-to-point races in connection with the Llan- harran and Ystrad Hunt, which will take place on Wednesday, April 10th, to meet at Llanharran Village. Under the auspices of such indefatigable secretaries as Mr T. M. Price and Mr Morgan Davies, of the Llanharran Hunt, it augurs well for having a good meeting. It is to be hoped the weather will be favourable to make it a still greater success. The Ystrad Hounds met at the Lewis Arms, Tongwynlais, on Tuesday, and, considering it was Cowbridge Races, there was a very fair gathering, amongst the company present being the master, Mr Williams, Capt. and Mrs Rigg, LI and a tf Yard Dr. Edwards, TafFs Well Mr Williams, Duffryn Ffrwd; Mr Matthias, Porth Mr Evans, *_ny8; Mr Evans, junr., Ynys Mr Oooper, Ton; 5rr Harbottle, Ton Mr Jnenes, Ton Mr iJavies, Ton Mr Thomas, Walnut Tree Mr J. uliams, Trealaw Mr Thomas, Clydaoh Vale Mr Llewellyn, junr., Clydacli Vale.

'ENGLISH CRICKETERS IN-AUSTRALIA.
ENGLISH CRICKETERS IN AUSTRALIA. CONCLUSION OF THE TOUR. THE BATTING AVERAGES. With their victory over South Australia at Adelaide on Tuesday, Mr Stoddart's team brought their brilliant tour in Australia to a successful conclusiou. The full statistics are not yet avail- able, the bowling analyses in the last few matches not being yeb to hand but we publish below the batting averages of the Englishmen in the eleven a-side matches, and also the batting averages in the same engagements of the most, successful Australian players. A is only natural, after such tremendous scoring, the figures come out exceptionally well. Altogether, Mr Stod- dart's team took part in twelve 11 a-side matohes, of which they won eight and lost four, all the games being played out, irrespective of time. They won three out of five test matches with all Australia, and losb two; whi!e in the other seven matches they beat Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland combined, and South Australia, and were beaten by South Australia and Victoria. The matches against odds were of little interest, and so small an amount of time was allotted to them that of 11 fixtures only one was played out. On the general result of the trip, and especially on the fact of having won the rubber against All Australia, Mr Stoddart and his colleagues may be warmly congratulated. ENGLISH BATTING AVERAGES.

Owing to the quarterly meeting taking place next week, it is hoped a good voiume of orders will then be distributed. Prices steady at L7 marked bars, L5 10s merchant sorts, and £ 5 common. Galvanised sheets firmer at £ 9 10s, with black sheets, doubles, L6. 5s, and trebles £ 7. Plates, 27 angles, JBS to £ 6 and hoops, 26 5s. Sellers of pig iron asked slightly more money than last week. and made some good sales.
IRONMASTERS' MONTHLY RETURNS.
IRONMASTERS' MONTHLY RETURNS. The Cleveland ironmasters' returns for March, issued on Wednesday at Middlesbrough, are favourably regarded, the increase being 11,668 tons. In Cleveland iron stocks in the three months, November to February inclusive, the addition was 105,000 tons. averaging 35,000 tons per month. The total stock, 316,000 tons, has increased 163,000 tons in twelve months. The production, 124,000 tons of Cleveland iron, and 123,000 hematite, etc., making 247,000 tons,, gives the same output as in Maroh, 1894.

NEWPORT.
NEWPORT. CHARACTERS IN THKIB Ours.-The Newport magistrates at their sitting on Wednes- day dealt with two well-known Cross-street characters. The first to be called was Dennis Brickley, who shortly before midnight on Monday was creating diversions in the notorious street and refused to go away when requested by Officer Peacock, and was taken into custody. Brickley then kicked the officer several times, struck him in the face, and eaused him to fall and out his knee. Brickley now offered no excuse for his conduct, and he was sentenced to 28 days' imprisonment. Afterwards the notorious Dennis McCarthy was called, bub did not respond, and it was stated that he had gone to Cardiff. McCarthy, who only left prison about a fortnight ago, was drunk in Cross-««reet I on Monday night, and flourished his crutch and threatened to use it upon the crowd whioh had gathered. The Bench issued a commitment for one month, and directed the police to execute it if McCarthy returned to Newport. MLBOS'S DAY INCIDENT.—George Sutton, a Newport libourer, was sent to prison for 14 days. Sutton was entrusted by William Goater, of Newbridge. who had come to Newport to spend Mabon'a Day, with a box con- taining six pigeons, which he was directed to take to the Newport Railway Station. Sutton was found with four of the pigeons under his coat, and the box was hidden under a railway truck in the goods yard. Sutton told the Court that as he was carrying the box a portion of the cover broke and two of the pigeons escaped, and he did not like to face the owner on that account. Goater had purchased the pigeons the same day for 10s 6d. ANXIOUS TO PROVE AN ALIBI.—Mr Lyndon Moore, solicitor, applied on behalf of a man named Davies, who a week ago was fined 10s 6d for trespassing in pursuit of game, to hear some five or six witnesses, who were prepared to prove an alibi. The Bench, however, said that defendant had every opportunity to call wit. nesses at the time, and declined to accede to th* application.

(Great laughter.) I would rather see a ghost. (Laughter.)—His Honour (smiling) Even a ghost in clothes you have made would look nice. (Renewed laughter.) -P)aintiff I would shake hands with a ghost, but I would not shake hands with him again. I would even welcome a ghost if lie was going to pay me. (More laughter. )-An order for com- commitfcal for 12 days was made, and. Buapanded for two months,
BISMAROKS PAST AND. PRESENT.
BISMAROKS PAST AND. PRESENT. The Bismarck oelebrations in Germany have caused the Parisians to unearth a most curious piece of history in the family of theex-Ohanosllor. One of his ancestors, Augustus von Bismarck, was a soldior of fortune some 250 years ago, and was in the service of Bernard of Saxe-Weimar, who, after the disaster of Nordlingen, made a tr-My with Richelieu by which he entered the Fronch service. In 1634 and 1635 Augustus von Bismarok was fightiug in Lorraine and Burgundy with Bernard of Saxe-Weimar on behalf of the French King, and took part in the long series of manoeuvres and battles which resulted in the cession of Alsace to the French Crown. The German province of Elsass remained the French province of Alsace for over 200 years, and then it I was recaptured for Germany largely through the I instrumentality of the descendant of that very Augustus von Bismarck who had so important a share in its absorption bv France.
ANTICIPATIONS.
ANTICIPATIONS. In pleasant weather, and before a large com- pany of spectators, the Northampton Meeting was successfully brought to a close to-day. The tacing was interesting, the fields being larger than on the previous day. Backers made a bad start, as in the opening event, the Buccleugh Handicap Plate, Dromonby, who started at 5 to 1, secured the verdict, and Daily Bread won the Kelmarsh Plate, quoted at 8 to 1, the favourites in both instances finishing third. The once famous Northamptonshire Stakes brought out 16 competitors, the largest field of the afternoon, of whom Seville and Rodomont were joint favourites at 4 to 1, next in demand being Houndsditch, at 7 to 1. Seville was the only one of these, however, who had anything to do with finish, being placed second to Barbary, who was little fancied, starting at 100 to 6. Gold Crest proved the good thing she looked for the Selling High Weight Handicap, and Margaret of Branksome, who had run second to Halet yesterday, made the all important move upwards and easily carried off the Rothschild Plate, for which event she was in most request, starting at 5 to 2 on. Innisheen secured the National Hunt Flat Race, and the meeting concluded by the victory of False Face in the Delapre Welter Handi- cap, who defeated three better fancied candidates.

Best Mlt" sbill reinains'favourifce for the Jubilee ¡ Stakes at 12 to 1. Grey'Leg and El Diablo are quoted at 16's. Clwyd could not be looking or going better than now. He is a little picture of a racehorse, and moves like a bit of machinery. Platter lias an engagement at Alexandra Park I on Saturday, and may be worth bearing in mind, as the trainer is fond of winning at the North London fixture. Diplomat, Queen of the Chase, and I b stripped so backward for the Eurl Spencer's Plate yesterday thab they were unable to sfiow up iu their proper form.

The Oanuon family must have hi}f!n pleased with the success on Tuesday of Midnight Sun, who only earned brackets f)nCH during lueb. season. ¡ She was bred by Tom Cannon, trained by Tom Gannon, jun.. aud ridden by Kempton Cannon. In fact, this is quite a family affair. A correspundent is reminded by Horizon's I performance in the Grand National that Black Prince in 1882 parted with his rider at the second fence in the country and, completing the re- mainder of the race unassisted, actually passed the post in front of Seaman, ridden by Lord Manners A certain prominent layer has laid a bet of R2,000 to B5 about Euclid and Wild Man from Borneo. In another case a bet of 23,000 to £6 has been invested on a similar contingency, and there are several smaller bets, such a JB500 to £ 1, depending upon the decision of the Jockey CJub. Float has done best and made most improve- ment ot the fillies trained at Newmarket, and Mr D. Cooper's grand looking daughter of Sheen and Footlight has only to go on in the same satisfactory manner, and steer clear of accidents, to secure each of the two big events confined exclusively to animals of her age and sex. From" Bras de Fer "I regretted Horizon's fall because I saw Tom Cannon wanted to know more about him than he did. He said to me just before the race, 'I know Horizon is the best cross-country tliree-miler in England, and if the winter had been other than what; it was, I should have found out if he could stay.' Well, Tom, you must wait now till next year. He is a grand- looking horse is Horizon, and was the swell of the paddock. Next year, Tom, next year

LARCENY BY TRICK.
LARCENY BY TRICK. At the Newport Police Court on Wednesday Thomas Moss alias Charles McKenna, a coloured seaman, was charged with obtaining 53 in money nnd food and lodgings, by means of a trick, from James McLaren, boarding-house keeper, 21, James-«treet. On Saturday week last the prisoner went to the shop of Mr Leslie Goldstein and ordered a suit of clothes and a quantity of other goods to the value of £ 6 lie. The articles were packed up and the bill pre- sented, but Moss then said that he was staying at the Seamen's Home, and that the manageress had his Board of Trade papers, aud asked Mr Gaid. C'u to lend him some money until Monday. Goldstein, instead of g>iug for change, went across to the Homo and found that Moss's statements were not true. In the early hours of Sunday morning Moss presen- ted himself at McLaren's boarding house, said he had just come in by the midnight mail train from London, and that he had to receive £ 52 from the Board of Trade on the following day, and that he intended to rest for a month. On this representation he obtained four shillings from the landlady and food and lodgings. Moss kept the deception for three days, and on the strength of the J352 he persuaded the landlady to advance money for drink in order that lie might treat the other lodgers and thus stand his footing." He I took McLaren to the Railway Station and the Shipping Office, and at the former he tried to make tho officials believe that he had left some luggage, but his mate had tho ticket, and at UIH Shipping Office he declared to the superintendent that he had lost his olaim, and offered to pay.for a telegram to London in order to verify his statements he I. did not succeed in either case, however. Moss now pleaded guilty, aJld it was shown that he I had been convicted on seven previous occasion?, the last occasion being at Liverpool, where he received three months' imprisonment for a similar offonCe. The Bench now sentenced Moss to thrM inontipl imprisonment with hard labour.

At first put a little up the nostrils, well back, and then one hour afterwards take a lump jSf? about the size of a hazel nut internally. This is easily done by throwing it back in the throat and swallowing some Homocea contains nothing injurious—neither LAUDANUM, MENTHOL, MINERAL, nor any narcotic. As a preventative of Influenza some should be put up the nostrils two or three times a day. It the nose, eyes, or throat are affected, a half-teaspoonful might be put in a cup of boiling water, and the fumos inhaled through the mouth and nostrils, a flannel cloth being *$ £ thrown over the head. WE ARE CONVINCED THAT THIS TREATMENT WILL PROVE BENEFICIAL. '■„ What Homocea is, millions of Englishmen now know. Never in the annals of medicine |' has a preparation been offered to the public with anything like its virtues. Certainly it has j not been effectually tried in Influenza; but the way it works ou a chill, when taken in- ternally, causes 11s to believe that the result will be equally helpful in the epidemic that is jL now prevailing.

For myself, I have only used it for chapped hands, and after using your HOMOCEA once there was no need for a repetition. Another man in the room, Pte. Dick, has been suffering from a severe pain in the chest for over nine months after using your HOMOCEA four times he had great relief, and after using one box he was thoroughly cured. Another man, Pte. Singleton, used it for pains in the back and chest, and it cured him in less than a week. Another man, Pte. Stewart, has been suffering from severe cold in the head and face. and had great trouble in breathing after using your HOMOCEA twice he could breathe quite freely, and in less than six days he was quite cured. In fact, I could muntion a dozen cases in one squadron where it has produced marvellous cures. Hoping that this will help to advertise your HOMOCEA,-—We are respectfully, sir, PTE. J. H. POLLARD.

So aejfl one day I was given an old book by a drunken man, who told me to take a leaf out of hit StH book, and it was there I first saw the HOMOOEA advertisements, and I sent to you for s box, and before I had taken many doses I could walk about, and I had three boxes more. I am quite well, and can work. I took it in a pill with butter twice a day, and rubbed some outside. It is a splendid remedy for cuts and wounds. "W^k You can make whatever use you like of this.
