GOLF NOTES. (By BOGEY.") The boisterous weather interfered considerably with play at the autumn meeting of the Glamor- ganshire Club on Friday and Saturday, so that the scores, as will be seen below, are not of the brilliant order. Of all the competitors, Mr J. Pitchford was the most successful. He has, I understand, been playing constantly for the past couple of weeks, and now shows a greatly im- proved game, something like several strokes better than he was a few months ago. The returns once more show how carefully the handicapping has been done. There are two ties for prizes, and the others farther down on the lists are far too numerous to mention. The tie for the second place in the Bogey Singles (Event 1) between Mr A. M. Ingledew and Mr K. K. Mariey has not been played off, but that between Mr W. H. M. Tucker and Mr E. Nicholls in the second event resulted in a win for Mr Tucker. It was a medal round, which Mr Tucker did in 88. Taking handicapping into consideration, the players were all square at the 16th hole, but Mr Nicholls came to grief in the 17th bunker, which, of course, at that stage of the game was fatal.

Work has been started on the club house ex- tension, and for some little time to come the members will have to put up with some incon- venience. Those members who do not play much are advised to take their belongings away, as, notwithstanding every care, things are liable to go 3,3tray at such times. The monthly bogey competition takes place at Penarth next Saturday. A large entry is antici- pated. On Thursday Mr E. Spencer lowered the amatenr reeoid for the Porthcawl course by going round in 78. Next day, in spite of a gale of wind, he equalled the previous record of 81. The record of the course is 72, by Vaxdon. Mr Spencer might have done better on Thursday, for he took six for the eighth, a hole he has often done in four, and on the Friday he did the seventh and e!ghth in six. The annual general meeting of the Porthcawl Club taires place at the club on Saturday next at 4.30.

NOVEL CRICKET MATCH. A novel cricket match was decided at Brighton on Saturday afternoon in aid of tho Jocal lifeboat fund, the combatants being one- armed v. one-legged players. They met on tho Dyke-road ground. The match was organised by the Na\al Volunteer Cruising Club, to vihoni ii dne, in the main, the credit of having initiated a. Lifeboat Saturday, held a few weeks ago. The spectacle,unusralnowadays,drew a largeconconrse of spectators, despite a showery afternoon. The majority of the players bad sustained their in- capacities while engaged on the railway, where many of them are still engaged, while others are employed by the Corporation of Brighton, all being resident in that town or Hove. Kot a few of the contestants were grey-headed, bat they entered upon the game with wonderful energy and spirit. Before the match came off teatus repre- sentative of the Paint Shop and Pullman Car Department of'the Brighton Railway Works played a football match, the knights of the brush winning by four goals to nil. Chances favoured the one-armed cricketers because of their advan- tage in the way of making or stealing runs. It must, however, be confessed that the one-legged men showed surprising activity and smartness. Naturally the game furnished plenty of amus- ing incidents. The one-armed team were all out for 62, Browning having captured six wickets for 21 runs. The other side had responded with 77 for the loss of only half their wickets when time was up.

NEW ZEALAND'S HARVEST. Wellington, New Zealand, Monday.-Sprijig throughout the colony has set in early, the weather being exceptionally fine. In Canterbury the prospects are reported very good. Lambs are doing well, and in some cases have never been finer. Breeders are now devoting their attention to improving the quality of fat lambs for export. Preparations have been made to sow a large area with wheat. The Agricultural Department is issuing additional regulations with the object of further guarding against the introduction of disease in imported manures and bones.-Beuter.

Monday Night. Betting on the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire iu town was quiet, whila the Duke of York Stakes failed to lead to any business. For the Cesarewitch Merman was a strong favourite, odds of 8 to 1, followed by 15 to 2 and 7 to 1, being booked to him to wm about £5,000, and Grodno at 11 to 1 and 10 to 1 -had backers to win £8,000. Irish Ivy and Sherburn were quiet, but firm, while Fergus Belle, who will be ridden by J. Hare, was mentioned for the first time. Oban and Eager were in most demand for tho Cam- bridgeshire, 5000 to 300 in all going down to the former, and 5000 to 250 to Eager. Airs and Graces and Baldoyle once more found friends, whUe Doddington, in the same stable as History at Newmarket, was introduced into tho quotations. Prices:— CESAREWITCH. (Two miles 2fur. 25yds.

Little Eva, engaged in the Cambridgeshire,has been 011 the walking list for the past few days. In the long string of horses bred in the United States, and trained by Huggins at Newmarket, is never a son or a daughter of Iroquois. Whatever the odds betted against Damocles winaing the Cesarewitch the odda are quite as long that the son of Suspender will not run. A curious coincidence in connection with tuo race for the Prince Edward Handicap at Man- chester was tha.t Maluma was number four on the card, her rider drew No. 4 berth at the start- ing-post. the mare's starting price for the raca was 4 to 1, and this was her fourth time of run- ning this season. The uusexed Wantage lost his maiden certifi- cate on Saturday by winning the Weight-for-Age Plate at Hurst Park, and thus providing M. Caiinon with his first winning mounf last week. He waited on his solitary opponent, Norwood II., until a quarter of a mile from home, when he came away and put the issue beyond all doubt. Had Wantage not won he would never have been seen on a racecourse again. The winning sires list now reads :—Orme, £ 37,373; Sensation (America), £ 15.446 St. Simon, £ 12,988; Royal Hampton, £ 9,526; St. Serf, X9,422 Donovan, £ 8,540 Bona Vista.

HOUGH WEATHER IN THE NORTH. H.M.S. Northampton arrived at Campl.iIiov<a from Oban on Monday after experiencing terrific weather. She was to have stayed at Oban until Wednesday, but she had to leave, as the gale threatened to drive hei ashore. Two anchors were broken. Her long boat, while on her way to the ship with provisions, was driven ashore, and her steam launch, which went to the boat's assistance, had the same misfortune. The Northa.mpton is on a recruiting cruise ¡o.1ç:;g the West Coast.

THE CHURCHES. The Rev. Canon Bullock; of Holy Trinity, Leeds, has been appointed to the vacant living of Spalding, in the room of the Rev. M. II, Marsden, who has resigned. The living is worth over £1,000 a year, and there were 172 applicants for the vacancy. Canon Bullock is 62 years of age. On Sunday the Rev. J. M. Evans, Congrega- tional minister, terminated his connection with the English Congregational Church, New Tredegar, having ascepted the pastorale of the b Congregational Church at Abrr- sychan. The attendances at the ser- vices were very large. During his stay in New Tredegar the rev. gentleman has been most successful in his ministrations and had identified himself with all pablic movements. Preaching at Singleton Chapel, Swansea, on Sunday, the Rev. Mr Higman referred to the sale of the fabric to the Church of England. He said he had completed 49 years in the ministry, and wished to retire. Chapels held as private pro. perty did not succeed. The church had received a.id from the Congregational body, but there was no assurance that grants would be continued or that, if he bought the chapel, it would have been taken over by the trustees or the Swansea Asso- ciation therefore the chapel had been sold. He had assisted in building three chapels in the town, one at Neath, and several in other parts of the country, and had admitted about 2.000 persons into church membership. Though the chapel was disposed of, the results of the work done would remain. Special services were held and were well attended at Canaau Congregational Church, St. Thomas, Swansea, on Sunday and Monday, to welcome the Rev, David Phillips, formerly of Brynfcerian, Pembrokeshire, as pastor of the church. The Calvinistic Methodist Church, Cardigan, have decided to put in a new organ and make structural alterations in the chapel.

^stsitwss Afc&resses. pp eti te returned; Flesh began to Increased < "One can scarcely realise that he is the same boy as six months ago." rill RICHARD C. RiTSOKji tfmn a fiaetaec&pbj Ths appetite and the .vci^ut of children usually tell the story of their health. If the child takes its food with a keen relish, and is in good flesh, there is usually Ittle need to worry about it, It is the loss of flesh and appetite, and a general state of uneasiness, with restless sleep, distuibed digestion and unhealthy colour, that give the warning to parents. The case of Mr Bitson's little boy was a typical one, and in writing about it Mr Ritson saya;— 38. Fentonville-street, Sheffield, February 4th, 1899. Gentlemen,-It gives me much pleasure to be able to thank yon for the wonderful work that Scott's Emulsion has done for my son. In giving you a few details of his case I cannot express myself sufficiently of the immense nourishing and strengthening powars of your valuable preparation. About nine months ago my son showed symptoms of general weakness of the chest, attended with loss of appetite, gradually losing flesh. My wife and I bccame somewhat alarmed at bis condition and the remarks that were being passed about him. I was advised by some friends to try Scott's Emul- sion; of which they spoke very highly. I accord- ingly did so, and after taking it for three weeks he began to show signs of improving; his appetite returned; he became more cheerful, and his flesh began to increase alss. He has been taking Scott's Emulsion now for the last three t months, and to see him now you would be so& prised. One can scarcely realise that he is the same boy as six months ago, therefore, I have DO hesitation in saying that no household should be without Scott's Emulsion as a safeguard against weak, delicate, and sickly children.—I remain, your very truly, (Signed) C. Ritaon." Scott's Emulsion is cod-liver oil made so that you can take it without objection. Neither the palate nor the stomach are offended by Scott's Emulsion, and as a matter of fact its flavour is most agreeable The combination of hypophos- phites and glycerine with the oil makes Scott's jon much more benencial than cod-liver oil in any otber form. The hypophosphites aid diges- p tion, nourish the bones and feel the nerves. while the glycerine prevents fermentation, and assists in the steps leading up to the absorption of the oil into the blood. Scott's Emulsion has a favourable effect upon the digestive system, as well as upon the blood, and you quickly notice its beneficial action by a return of the appetite and increase in weight, and a general improvement in health. You can obtain a sample of Scott's Emulsion by sending threepence to cover postage to Scott and Bowne. Limited, Manufacturing Chemists, 95, Great Saffron Hill, London, E.C., and men- tioning this papsr. All chemists sell Scott's Emulsion.

WELSH TIT-BITS. BY CADRAWD. REV D. JONES, LLANGAN'S, MEMORANDA I was favoured recently by the "Very Rev. the Dean of St. David's with a glance over some of the diaries of the saintly Apostle of Llangana, the Rev. David Jones, whose name to this day is a household word in every county in Wales. The memoranda I was privileged to look over were for the years between 1798 and 1805. Mr Jones resigned the living of Llangana some years before he died, and retired to Manorowen, in Pembrokeshire, where he died Angust 12th, 1810, aged 75, and was buried in Manorowen Churchyard, where bis gravestone is to be seed and the following epita-ph carved upon it:— Here lies entombed beneath this silent clod A sinner washed in Jesus' precious blood He fought the fight and gained the glorious prize, A crown, aud reigns triumphant ia the skies. Without any further introduction I will pro- ceed to give pome extracts from the interesting little diaries, which I assure will be read with interest. One extract svill serve to show how he kept the record of his everyday life, and how industrious a servant he appears to have been, and how conscientious he was in performing the duties of his higuea.Hing in the parish of Llangana, near Bridg- end. The Rev. Thos. Williams, Bethesda, draws a faithful picture of the little church in the Vale where Mr Jones officiated 'ior iiialiy yehrs, Jones, fel Angel, yn Llangana, Yn uclganu'r udgorn mawr, Nes b'air' dorf mewn twym serchiadau Yn derchafu uwch y litwr. Torf yn bwyta'r bwydydd brasa', Gwin a monna, nefol faeth; Wrth y fron 'row'n inau'n chwerthin TIS. n ymborthi ar y llaeth. But very soon after Mr Jones left his successor (whoever he was) totally failed to make the place so interesting and full of attraction. Mr Williams finds the place:- Nawr mae Eglwys f&ch Llangana Wedi newid oil yn Ian Poria las yn awr yn tyfu Ar y ffyrdd oedd goch olr bla'n. Beth dal aros yn Llangana Bellach byth o hyn i ma's, Nid oes yma. ddim ond tlodi, Yn lle'r oil ddanteithion bras. The following are some thoughts Mr Jones had written in one of his diaries :— I "Faith is knowledge in the understanding, assent of the will, and trust of the heart." "The Church is often like the moon in an eclipse-dark towards the earth, but radi%nt towards heaven." "It is ingratitude that makes the godly men's sins so heinous. Solomon's idolatry was far worse II than that of his wife: he had been better bred, and God had appeared unto him twice." Sins make wicked men the objects of God's ] hatred, the saints of His pity; as we hate poison in a toad and pity it in a man. In the one it is their nature, in the other it is their disease." j On one of the first leaves of the diary for the year 1805 are the following lines, which I take to have been composed as well as written by the rev, gentleman:- Cyfod, cyfod, Seren Foren, Ar fyrddiynau etto'n fyw; Dangos iddynt yn dy oleu Y ffordd y sydd yn rbydd at Dduw; Rho iddynt hedd tu yma'r bedd, A chodi ar dy hyfryd wedd. In these he seems to be expressing the wish uppermost in his mind, and his whole thought being for the salvation of the world through Christ's blood I 0, na allwn ymddigryfn Yn dy glwyfau, anwyl Ieen; Cael o'th hedd i I011 i'iri calon, A byw uwchben fy holl dral'.odiou. April 24th, 1805, is the following entry: i "Paid this day £ 50 63 6d to Mr David Charles, of Carmarthen, towards tho Bible collection and also paid Evan, the poor lame man, JE1 Is, for Ebenezer Davies, of Fishguard, being subscriber's money for the late Mr Peter Williams's Bible."

The last word in this diary is "Ebenezer." The following hymn appears in one of his diaries, and was no doubt composed by him:- With troubles fraught on every hand While travelling to the promised land, Give me, 0 Lord, the single eye Of Faith to live, of Faith to die. Dear Jesus, be my constant Guide, Protect me hourly by my side Enrich my soul with everv grace. And fit me for my heavenly place.

MAJOR WILSON'S LAST STAND. DEATH OF A SURVIVOR. From Bnlnwayo is reported the sudden death of Mr Will Cooding, wno was one of the three men of Major Wilson's party who escaped the Shangani massacre. He was a volunteer in the small force under Major Wilson that pushed for- ward from the main body of British troops operating against the Matabeles. When this force found itseif in dire peril of annihilation Mr Coodiug, accompanied by two other horsemen, rode back for reinforcements across the Shangani river.
