ENGLISH CHURCH UNION. CONFERENCE AT MERTHYR. BISHOPS LEGIS- The anniversary of the Brecon, Mertbyr, and Swans°a district branch of the Enhsh Chorea Onion was celebrated on Tuesday at Merthyr. Holy Communion was administered by the rector at St. David's at 8 o'clock, and at the 11 o clock service in the same church the sermon was preached by the Rev. G. Bayfield Roberts, M.A., rectar of Elmstone, Cheltenham. The annual meeting was held in the afternoon in the St. David's Infants' Schoolroom. PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. The Rev. Z. P. Williamson at the outset of his I presidential address referred with regret to the loss which they had sustained by the death of the Rev. Lewis Jones, vicar of Cadoxton, aDd the removal to LondJIl of Mr W, de Winton, their secretary. During the last 40 years the Union I had been labouriug diligently to instruct the people in the doctriuea of the Church. There was a great deal to be done. At no time since the formation of the Union was the support of the loyal members of the Church more necessary than at present, when they found there was a. systematic attack on the Church. As to the Church Discipline Bill brought into the House last year he could not characterise it otherwise than as moat iniquitous. It would be certainly very destructive if carried. By that Bill any two parishioners would be able to bring an action against the incumbent of a. pariah, and perhaps get a conviction against him, which | world mean that he might be deprived of his living. And also any five perspns in any rural deanery would have the same power, which would be very unjust. He thought every effort should be made to frustrate the attempt to pass sach a measure. Perhaps the greatest danger in the present day was th attack made upon the Holy Eucharist. He regretted that there was a proportion of people who had lost entirely the idea. of worship in this land. He gave statistics of the Union membership in the several local districts, which he admitted were not as satisfactory as could be desired. DESIRAB OF MUTUJlL EXPLANA- TION. The Rev. T. Rees moved That this district Union, believing that msuiy of the differences which divide the members of the Charch of England are largely due to misunderstanding and are often more apparent than real, expresses I its thankfulness that the proposal for holding a conference for mamal explanation bas beeD brought before the London Diocesan Conferenso, IHld the desire of its members to support by all means in their power this effort to promote the peace of the Church." Rev E. W. Davies seconded the resolution, which was carried. ONENESS OF THE CHURCH. The Rev. G. Bayfield Roberts, M.A., Chelten- ham, gave an argumentative address relating to the Oneness of the Church." He referred to the different Churches of Christendom, and re- minded them that in the Creed they re- cited they declared they believed in the one Catholic Church. Could not there be oneness in the Church although she had lost her union ? He answered, Yes. He held that it was a popular delusion to regard a bishop as being simply of this, that, or the other diocese. Bishops were officials of the Church of God, and had an interest in every province. A bishop coald only speak with the authority of all the other bishops upon matters concerning the Church. Only local details would be dealt with locally. He warmly contro- verted the opinion of the E-shop of Bristol that the Chur ch of England was a. 11 self-going con- cern." ThM, b Baid, was Anglicanism all over. When Anglicanism appealed to the primitive Church it made a fool of itself, because the Anglican would find all the thiugs then observed which he rejected BS the later inventions of the Church of Home. lie argued that whatever the whole of the Churches—Eastern, Western, and English—taught was Catholic, and not the hobbies of any of them. He claimed that the U uiou had taught the bishops that they were not mere en/IIes of the civil power, and lhat tuey were not the bum-bailiffa of Lord Penzance One thing they had also to be taught—the one- ness of the Chnrcb. which they were not com- petent to set aside. The President maved a hearty vote of thanks to the Kev. Bayfield Roberts for his powerful sermon and add res\ l'hi>i was seconded bv the Rev. D. Lewis, rector of Merthyr, who took occasion to reprove people who insisted upon obedience to the law and yet did not refrain from being parties to the running of Sun tay trains on the Great Western Railway, where on Sundays during the year no less than 48,000 of Buch trains were running. The motion was earned, and the proceedings were brought to a close by other votes of thanks. The eveuing esrrnon at St. David's also was delivered by the Rev. G. Bayfield Roberts.

WELSH BY CADRA WD. WAS THE LIE EVEK A PORT AT LL A NT WIT? (A QUJBKY.) I don't know what to say about Lantwit having ever been a port. It depends what is meant by a port. There is some evidence that there was once ø. zI11e wooden pier xunDing ou, inio tbe sea at Colhugh. This I have seen myself—the row of old piles there visible at low-water, and which were called by the inhabitants, "The black boys." Whatever this pier may have been, it was of a very simple and primitive character, and the trade which it would accommodate must have been very small indeed. In the reign of Eliza- beth it was out of repair, and in the Stradling Correspondence there is the fragment of a Deti- tion of the men of Lautwit to bir Ed. Stradling, praying that he would repair or assist in repair- ing it. [t ia possible that the pier had been originally constrncted by the Stradlings of St. Donat'a for the convenience of their embarking and disembarking when they went to and fro across the Channel to tbeir estate in Somsrset- shire. It is quite possible the Lantwit people were allowed tue use of the pier when any small ship found occasion to call there for corn and some other produce of the rich vale of Glamorgan at that time. In any other sense Lautwit, within historic times, has never been a port. Yes, it is an historic fact that Howel Dd was buried at Lantwit. ROMAN MILITARY STONES. Military stones were set np by the Ronans in this country to mark the distance upon their seve- ral roads. [ do not recollect seeing any in Wales, but examples are to be met with in England, in some of ths museums, and possibly in situ here and there in some English counties. From Roman times we must take a \ery long leap, even as far down as the Stuart period, when we find the first serious attempt to survey and improve the roads in this country. Ogilby and William Morgan were employed by King Chailes II. and the Lords of bis Council to survey the English roads, a task which they accom- plished at a cost of £7.000. We may take it that under the name of England, Wales was also included, for the suryeys were published under the title of "The Britannia," and consi"te1 of ono hundred whole-sheet map3. We arc not at all positive tbat milestones, undeI this survey, were pat down on the post roads to mark the dis- tance. I know of no evidence in proof of it. Whatever may have been done in Wales under the survey in, say, 1670, certain it is that in 1760 the roads in Glamorgan were about as bad as they could be. About that year or soon after an Act of Parliament was obtained for making and maintaining the highway from Cardiff to Swan- sea, and it is to that period I believe that the old milestones which Me still to be seen on the sides of our main roads here and there thoughout the conntry are to be ascribed, when carriages were employed and coaches running at a fair rate of speed. We have evidence that English travel- lers complained about the piteous state of our roads in Wales up to the end of the last century. GWILYM TEW 0 LAN TAF.

It is not very often we meet with an acconnt of a chief magistrate offending the Jaw he has sworn to obey, but Oswestry's Corporation Records contain an account of a twice-elected Mayor who in his second term of office committed murder. The Mayor in question was a John Davies, who first served the office in 1707, and again m 1714-15. He managed to flee from jus- tice but he was found guilty of murder at the oroner's inquest, and the aldermen and common council men of the tOWD and borough disfran- chised him from being their Mayor-Alderman I A Dom. 1715.

CYCLING NOTES. (By PNEUMATIC." The Cyclist" styles Charles Grimwood The f martyr of the uo optiom ca.se: Opinion seems to be pretty general that in Nel- son, the American ex-amatear, Jimmy Michael has at last met his match. Mr C. H. Larrette, writing in the Athletic News," remarks :—" The unfortunate Cardiff cyclist, Grimwood, in addition to having to put np with fourteen days' imprisonment for alleged furious driving and running down a. pedestrian, has now been ordered by the County Court Jadge to pay the latter £25 and coats. It is to be hoped that his friends will come to his assistance, as, according to all accounts, he has been the victim of misrepresentation." In these days of depression in cycle racing in South Wales it is always cheering to hear of the energy and enterprise of the good people of Car- marthen. Now, so far as I can gather, they in- tend to break aU previous records at the sports which are to be held on their famouscement track on Thursday next, and I must say I wish them fine weather and a big crowd, because such enter- prise as theirs deserves success. The programme is a huge one. There are three scratch races and time trials for world's re- cords. First of importance comes the race for the five miles championship of the South Wales Centre of the N.C.U. Then there is a one mile open scratch r tee, with a ten-guinea first prize offered. Another bifr event is the half-mile open scratch'rnce for the Carmarthen Licensed Victu- allers' Cup, value £30. The time trials are another feature. The Car- marthen Sports Club offers a ten guinea prize to any licensed rider breaking the world's ama- teur mile record. In addition to this there are half and one mile open handicaps, and a boys' han- drcap. Naturally enough such prizes will bring big talent. Mr A. J. J ues, the secretaty, writes inf >rming me that W. A. Edmonds, < f Bristol (the English mile champ IIn), Tom Dwtes, of Manchester, and Sid H ,11"way, of London, t'igether with Jack Metcalf, Minor Weeks, Sid N choll", G. Humphreys, Hooper, and Eddms, of Card ff, have all enteied. I undo ,ctafJd that it is more than l'kely that H. W. Payne, A. S. Ingram (the Engl^h qua>ter mde champion), and Chamberlain, of Bristol, will 11.1-0 turn out. Altogether the sports should be worth going a long way to see, and I hear that the Great Western Railway Company are affording facilities for the public to get there. During my recent sojourn on Salisbury Plain I was much struck by the way in which the cycle is cutting out the" gee-gee." It was nothing uncommon at manoeuvres to see staff officers on brkes" riding here, there, and eve, ywhere over open the downs. By the way, the turf is often far better than the roade for cyclin,for the latter are horribly flinty, and punctures were, with most people, frequent. Personally, I owever, I had amazing luck,for I rode from 20 to 30 miles almost every day and I didn't have a single puncture. Of a truth, 'tis better to be born lucky than rich The officials of the Cardiff Windsor Presby- terian C.C. have sent round postcards to their members stating that ihu attelldallce at the weekly runs bus bean very unsnHsfacfcory lately, and Ih¡\ it will be impoBs b'e for the club to co"- tinue A going concern unless the members dlSpív greater interest in its existence.

Unregistered mestings in South Wales (says a London contemporary) have undoubtedly re- ceived It fresh lease of life, owin to the upen. sion by the centro of the leading Welsh profes- sionals. The South Wales Centre wore absolutely bound to suspend the riders, or allow the N.C.U. rules to be completely ignored, for it would be an utter farce to allow these men to do as they apparently wished to, viz., to ride at registered and unregistered meetings. It must be either one thing or the other. Undoubtedly the time ia a most critical one for the N.C.U. in South Wales, so far as racing is concerned. Although uniegis- tered meetings have always been numerous in the district, Cardiff has hitherto been free from them. On a recent Saturday, however, unregistered cycle r"ce¡.¡ were held on the Cardiff A.C. track. The Cardiff A O. hus been ctiticised foe letting their tr ck grounds for the Rports, but they d' f-nd their action by a;i>ing th It their position is th it of a company ;>nxious to mnke their pro- perty a paying one for the shareholders Mr H.

He has our sympathy, for, unfor- tunately, the action of the two bodies is hardly in accord." A day or 80 ago I had a spin on a bicycle fitted with the Hub Two-speedGeir and free whoel,and a very admirable arrangnu.ent I found H. The normal gear of the machine was 84, but by touching a small lever CIOSH to the handle bars the wheel could be made quite free, or it might be altered to a 6b j;tpa.r, which, for going up bills, is just what is required. This invention has only recently buen introduced into Cardiff, and so far as I know only two or three Cardiff cyclists usu it at present. It is, however, an invention that is bound to become very popular. TbH Cardiff agi nt for this invention is M. Walki'i- Kitchin, of 181, Bute-ioad, and he will b-' glad to show the Hub Two-sp.">d G.-ar to any 10r1 dealers or (cyclists inte ested in it.

DID NOT KNOW HIMSELF. A singular ease of loas of memory is engaging the attention of the officisls of the Romford Union Workhouse. It seems that on the arrival of a London, Tilbury, and Southend Railway train at Uomford Station a young gentleman was found in cne of the carriages quite unable to give any account of himself. It was very soon dis- covered that he was deaf and dumb, so an attempt was made to try aDd discover who he was by writing the questions on paper, but this proved futile, as he only wrote in reply the same as the question, with the exception of on one slip writing Henry Webbe," and on another, Whnre am I ? Who am I ?" On being searched two half- tickets from Grays to Bomford were found in his possession, dated the 25th August, but hll seems to have completely forgotten how they came into his possession. He is a gentlemanly-looking young fellow, aged about 16 to 18, and looked as if he was the son of very respectable parents. He i9 wearing a bbck cloth jacket, blue cloth waistcoat, blue eerge trouper", blue cap, lace-ap boots, blue check shirt, etc. He has fair hair and blue eyes, and measures abort 4 feet 11 inches in height. Police-superintendent Creasey has been making the most searching inquiries with regard to the lad, but up to the present can only ascer- tain that he has been wandering about Tilbury for two days. It is supposed that the lad has had a fall, causing injury to the brain, which has caused him to lose bis memory.

VEXATIOUS. A little scene in the optician's shop is thus de- scribed in the Dioptric Review," the organ of the calling :—A pleasant gentleman comes in aDd wants a pair of spectacles for reading. He makes a good impression on you, perhaps flatters you a little. You fit him perhaps there is astigma- tism—he is astonished at your skill. Yon try on a frame. These are only steel of course. Could be not have them in goid ? He picks out a good' heavy frame, inquires the price, ia perfectly satisfied. He would be very glad, however, if you could fit them op with some temporary lenses 80 that he can take them with him. Yon do eo. He pays for them. Then, quite pleasantly, he says, I suppose that jou have a gold licence V He gently explains that he is the surveyor of taxes. You are a liWe confused at the sudden turn things are taking. He then grows stern. Yon recover yourself and bring out your licence, and the pleasant gentleman leaves you rather ab- ruptly. He somehow seems vexed.

THE PARIS EXHIBITION, 1900. It will be seen from the official list of awards at the Paris Exhibition that HuatJey and PaJmeru, Limited, have been awarded two Grand Prizes for their plain and fancy bis- cuiis for home consumption and for exportation. This is the second occasion upon which the Jnry of a Paris Universal have conferred upon Hundley and Palmers, Limited, the highest honours obtainable. In 1878 the jury, in awaidiug 10 Messrs Huntleyand Palmers, Limited, the ONLY GRAND PRIZE given to the biscuit industry, expressed tbeir judgment in the follow- ing terms :—" Unrivalled house known through- out the world for ita enormous production and the excellent quality of its manufactures." The jury of 1900 have enhanced the value of their renewed award by the addition of the following special mention :—" This firm has not ceased to progress either in the extension of its business1 or ia the excellence of its manufactures."

CRICKET. THE SCARBOROUGH FESTIVAL. YORKSHIRE v. MR C. 1. THORNTON'S XI. Scarborough, Tuesday.-Play was continued to-day in dull weather. Yorkshire, who had lost six wickets for 164 overnight, proceeding with their batting at 10 minutes past 12. Wainwright and Haigh, the not- outs, hit with great power, and 200 appeared at 12.25. With.fe,sop and Trott displacing the other bowlers, Wainwright completed his 50 in an hour, while Haigh tool: a quarter of an hour longer to get the number. Wcods frequently changed his attack, but the batsmen were masters of the situa- tion. In an hour they had added 93 runs. Altogether the seventh partnership produced 140 runs in 90 minutes before Haigh wa3 dismissed at 271. With Hawke in Wainwright completed his buudred. At lunch the score was 316 for eight wickets. On resuming Jessop and R. Foster bowled, and at 322 Wainwright was caught at mid-on for a magnificent 117, made in two and a half hours and including 14 fours. Hunter followed in, but the innings closed for 336 at 3.15. The scratch team weut in against a majority of 70 runs at 25 minutes to 4, Warner and W. Foster facing the bowling of Hirst and Smith. Runs came steadily, the batsmen playing carefully at the outset, but then Foster began to hit out. Foster made 34 out of 48, and then Brown and Haigh superseded Smith and Hirst, but 50 appeared as the result of 35 minutes' play. The new bowlers kept the runs down better than their predecessors, but they could not part the batsmen. The deficit of 70 was wiped out in three-quarters of an hour, and Foster made 53 out of 84 in 50 minutes. Warner was out at 98. Gower was second out at 135. W. Foster was fifth out at 173. having batted two hours and ten minutes without making a mistake. He hit 11 fours, 5 threes, and 8 twos. With Board and Trott in stumps were drawn at 190.

STEERING A BALLOON. An interesting experiment was made at Stamford Bridge, Fnlham, on Monday afternoon with a maihiue which has been iegignei by Mr Edward Anderson, a Swede, lor the purpose of controlling and steering a balloon. The con- trivance is constructed of canvas, leather and bunboo, and consist of two small aeroplanes, a. .'tvnvas car, and a pair of propellers, 6 feet in length, which are operated from the car by a hand crank. In lougth it is about 15 feet over all, and in breadth about 9 feet. Mr Anderson stated that the machine was not intended for flying, hot for rendering the balloon dirigible, It was intended to be suspended below the car of the balloon, and when in mid an the machine would be gnided in its course by the rotation of the propellors which were worked by manual power. The apparatus, suspended at about three feet below the car of a large balloon, which was inflated with ordinary gas from the town mam, ascended with the inventor and Mr Arthur Williams, the well-known balloonist, at about 4 o'clock, and travelled in a, south-westerly direc- tion. An unfortunate hitch occurred, however, as the balloon left the ground, one of the four ropes by which the machine was attached to the car becomi-ug involved with the basket work of the car, and tilting the machine a', a somewhat; sharp angie. As the I al oon rose Mr Anderson was seen to be attempting to turn the propellors, but until its disappearclonce no movement could he discerned. The balloon descended in safety at 7.50 in the evening at Chiddingfold, Surrey, having travelled about 40 miles. The wind was steady during the voyage and Mr Anderson was apparently able to use his steering apparatus, for a telegram despatched from Cbiddingfold at 8.50 said Grand saucess.

The command of the troop then devolved upon him, and whilst leading his men against the enemy his horse was shot under him, and fall ng on its side crushed its rider's left knee and ankle. He mounted Another horse and resumed the command. After leaving the Army with a pension in 1861 he joined the coastguard service in Lincolnshire, from which he retired in 1870.

MAFEKING IN THE QUEEN'S STABLES. One of her Majesty's carriage horses in the Royal mews at Windsor has been named Mafe- kin. It is a fine grey, and was the object of much attention on the part of the Colonials when they visited the stables on Monday. So also was the donkey Dul Dul, presented by Lord Kitchener to the Queen-a. most gentle beast with enormous ears. The Royal donkey carriage nataraily ex- cited interest, and one Colonial was heard to say that it would be all the better for a coat of varnish --and perbaps it would.

ANTICIPATIONS. The Warwick Meeting was concluded to-day, when sport of a similar class to that witnessed on the openiig day was again provided. The feature perhaps of the day's proceedings was the success which attended the American jockeys, Lester Reiff commencing well by carrying off the County Welter Plate and the Wellesbourne Nursery, the latter with Game Hen, about whom the nice price of 6 to 1 could be obtained owing to the demand for Clarendon Road. The last- named was backed down to 2 to 1, but failed to secure a situation. Rouge in the hands of i Rigby carried off the Warwick Handicap, Plate from two rivals, and then Lictor gave E. Jones a successful ride in the Town Welter Plate, L. Reiff on Caftan finishing second. The Members' Plate was secured by Amphianax, who was ridden by Madden, and started at the nice price of 10 to 1. The racing and the meeting were concluded by the victory of St. Jacques in the Stoneleigh Plate. The racing at Derby will show a great improvement on that witnessed at Warwick, quality and quantity always being combined at this fixture. Judged by the entries there should be some capital fields, and I hope som of the subjoined will prove successful:— Chaddesden Plate-Flying Greek. Portland Plate-Carle Kempe or Sir Hercules. Shipley Hall Plate-Merrill% or Sauce Jug. Belper Apprentice Plate Dr. Nikola. Friary Nursery Plate-Masquerade or Gold Lace. Champion Breeders' Biennial Foal Stakes— Star Shoot. Pevexil of the Peak Plate—Sibola or Sir Hercules. Tuesday Night. VIGILANT.

Paris III.—hnsbeen given a farther trinl in the Colonies, but he is appa- rently riced out. At all events he makes a very poor show in his races. We have good authority for saying tnat Wini- freds, though in good work, will not, as some say, run in the St. Leger, although she is quite likely to figure in the Park Hill Stakes at the Doncas- ter Meeting. Should Diamond Jubilee win the St. Leger we bertl he is quite likely to be on snle,for the Prince of Wales has plenty of the ssme blood for stud purposes with Persiminon and Florizel II. in his possession. The Rhine Stakes, valued £ 1,000, run at Cologne, was won by Sir J. Blundell Maple's Suppar Dance, ridden by Herbert Toon. Supper Dance, it will be remembered, ran second to Loopean for the Saltley Plate at the last Bir- mingham meeting, and subsequently got the Stakes, Lonpean having carried 71b insufficient weight.

COTTON-SPINNING TRADE. A Manchester correspondent telegraphs that at a meeting of the Federation of Cotton-spinners, held in Manchoater on Tuesday afternoon, it was decided to invite all the cotton-spinners in Lan- cashire to attend a conference on Friday, at which a resolution will be proposed to discon- tinue the purchase of American cotton on the spot. This wonld have the effect of bringing the cotton trade almost to a. standstill for several weeks, as the new American cotton crop is likely to be late this season, and private stocks held by the millowners are understood to be limited.

ANTI-VIVISECTION MEETING. A meeting which should prove of general public interest will be held at the Assembly-room, Town Hall, Ca,diff, on Thursday evening in connection with the anti-vivisectiou movement. The sppskt-is will inolude Lady Windsor, Lady Paget, and others, and no doubt there will b a large attend- ance. Certainly all lovers of damb animals should be present.

The news of the week I two serial stories, short complete tales, and many special articles appear in the "Cardiff Times and South \Vale§ We^S penny, journal LwWWw<» SWANSEA EXCHANGE. SWANSEA, Tuesday. The pig iron market seema to b- in a very anomalous position, Scotch having further ad- vanced Is 6d per ton, while Middlesbrough ia 9d per ton lower, hematite remaining dormant, not- withstanding that there is a further depletion of stocks all round, although the shipments are less than the previous wenk in all grades, which will be accounted for inthe falling off in the consump- tion, especially in South Wales. where the steel works are but half employed, owing to the stop- page of tinplate mills for want of orders. In finished iron and ate.) there is a little more in- clination to buy than has be-n the case for some time, and the orders held back are -xp.-eted to be shortly pat out. The strike on th" Taff Vale Railway has disorganised the coal snpply, and daring that time the spot prices were consider- ably advanced, but since the settlement quota- tions have reverted to the norn-al figures which hmv,3 remained in force for Homn TIMP. The ques- tion of coal prices is one which is gutting a good deal of consideration, and there is a concensus of opinion that if prices continue to remain as they are there will b'1 a fartber falling-off in the mann- factures of this country, as at pres-nt the a, lling prices will not cover the cost of production. Tin- plate prices remain nominal at the figures given below, though it is stated that sales have bpen made at at least 6d per ton bi-low the prices named, but at the moment it is difficult to say what are the values that are being realised. This state of things will continue until a raduction in the make will have had its effect. Pig Iron.—Glasgow warrants, 76s to 76s 6d cash buyers.
