In the printed circular distributed among a. number of the members of the associa- tion fcba committee of the church that they had made five applications to the E ist Glamor- gan Monthly Meeting to make arrangements by which -he 80 members who seceded from Llwytiy- pia Chureh should form a new cause, inasmucn as they could not co-work with the members of Llwynypia Church, but they failed to get a fair hearing. The wbole matter Was kept in the hands of a few persons who were interested. The President of the association said tbia appeal was iiwain out of order. In connection with this matter a resolution passed by the Glamorgan Monthly Meeting calling upon mllliters nob to preach, and aspecially not to administer the sacra- ments to these i»eop!e, was considered by the association. The Kev. J. Morgan Jones, Cardiff, gave a detailed account of tbe affair, and urged the conference to support the monthly meeting, and to uphold the dignity and discipline of the connexion. Mr R. S. Griffiths, Olydach Vale, said he was prepared to refute the statements contained in the circular. Rev. T. Levi moved That the association exhorts our ministers not to officiate and especially not to administer the sacraments to these people, and that it is contrary to the rules of the connexion," Revs. W. J. William's, Hirwain, Moses Thomas, Port Talbot, W, Jones, Abervstwyth, and others supported. Rev. Captain Davies, Swansea, moved that the whole matter be referred to a committee for con- sideration. Mr W. Thomas, Aberystwyth, seconded. Revs T. Phillips. Llaudovery, G. Owen, Butry Port, T. Price, Brechfa, supported the association. Ultimately the first resolution was voted upon, and carried by over two votes to one. Permission to sell a. piece of land was granted to Trinity Church, St. Clears, also to Carmar- then Church to exchange a small plot in Priory- strf>et. The Rev. W. M. Lewf, Tyllwyo, gave notice of motion that at the next association they con- sider the question of union of the colleges. The subjects of synodical examination are "Gnneral knowledge of Scripture." Pastoral epistles," "Church history from 70 A.D. to 320 A.D. and Studies in Theology," by Denny.

Dr. Macrtamara gave the other evening in Camberwell, London, a striking instance of War Office procedure. His father nerved in Canada in 1866. This Y6ar, 31 yeaca after the event com- mumoiatc-d, the medal iirrived. Meantime, how- ever, De. f-ither had died. THE LADY CABBY. Tuesday afternoon a private hansom, driven with considerable skill, swept at full speed through Alexandra Gate, in Hyde Park, London. The driver waa a lady possessed of no uncertain amonnt of personal beanty ako, she wore a. large Parisian hat, much chiffon, and an ex- tremely pretty frock. A MARINE BICYCLE. A young Italian nam -d Altamuro, employed in Armstrong's Shipbuilding Yard at Naples has jost snccesnfully tested a. marine bicycle. One or two people can work it. and a speed of about six miles an hour ca.n be obtained. Great things are expected of it for ronning down smugglers and for padlliug a.bont from one ship to another. THE ELECTRICIAN'S DREAM. It is posnb'e—nay i-I it not certain ?—that the use of electric power in factories and workshops may arrest'-he growth of monster towns, by the eaay transference of power" to countrv places ? We know thm this is the droarn of many an elec- trician. A few thin wirerl leading from a few coaling centres and distributed in a network over England would revolutionise town and country life. PRINCE AS CRICKE TER. It is not generally known that the Prince of Wales once played cricket. When freeh from Ox- ford he was staying at the Viceregal Lodge at Dublin, and played in a match. S.R.H. began by missing two catches, and when he went in to but had bis middle stump removed by the first ball—a slow That qaiteünished H.R.H. off as a cricketer. A LADY M.F.H. Among points of interest connected with the coming hunting season, not the least is that fair Bryan Leighton's foxhounds have been entirely in tbe care and under the control of Lady Leigh- toD since Sir Bryan went to the war and took command of a. squadron of the South African Light Horse. Lady Laighton is not only a oplen- did1 horsewoman, but a moat competent judge ot all things horsey and" doggy." TEA WAS HIS HNARE. Dr. Johnson, it is said, used to drink 17 caps of ten at a sitting. John Lennox Peppercorn, pro- prietor of the Globe beerhouse, Laburnum-street, Kingsland-road; tried to dispose of 651b. at one-. He handed it over in a sack to a vanman at Tower Hill, but an inquisitive policeman wanted to know wbere he got it. His explanation was not satisfactory, and fit Thames Police Court on Wednesday he was sentenced to six weeks im- prisonment for beiug in unlawful possession of OPEN CABS." Why is it," asks the Lancet," tbat Lon- don is not supplied with open cabs ? From the point of view of health there can be no doubt also of the advantage of tbe fly,' and more especially of course when the weather permits the fare to ride in the open. The bsct that the By is mote often open than not renders it also a more whoie- some vehicle to ride in. Closed cabs are un- doubted sources of infection, mierobes infest the cushions and the mats on the floor, and the air might easily contain pathogenic organisms luft by a previous STARVED FOR HIS CHILDREN. Starvation, self-imposed, led to Sidney Edgle.v's violent death. He lived at 12, Wol-ieley-bniid- ings, Dockbead, London, and was out of work. According to his wife he t.te no food for six dajs, aayiu0, I will not take it from my children while°I am out of work." On Sunday morning he became frenzied in his behaviour, and ended by jumping ont of the window, breaking nearly all his ribs. The verdict was returned on Wednesday by the Coroner's iury at Guy's Hospital. CANNOT SPEAK ITALIAN. The Italians have but one disappointment in their new Queeo-that ahe cannot or will not speak Italian. Her language is French, and her foreigners is all the more remarked by it con- trast with the homeliness of Qaeen Marjjhenta who belonged to the Royal Honse of Savoy by birth as well as by marriage. Queen Elena's memories and personal traditions are Russian, the friend and protecercss of her youth having been the Empress-mother of Russia. J/hese antecedents Italy can condone, bat she longs to hear her Queen speak her own musical tongue. DOCTORS MUST SHAVE. Microbes bave been f land ia qneer places; and now Professor Hubener, of .Bre(JIIln, detects them ia-the doctor's beard. The latter performs bia ooeration, and the evicted bacilli, rounding upon the evictor, swarm into hia board, and by a. stroke of genins nothing lets than Machiavellian use ths healer himself m a source of new contagion. The mors handsomely full tbe whisker, the deadlier its possibilities.* On this discovery, says the Secolo." the professor formed a drastic conclu- sion. Mask- cr washes ef sublimate, are as nothing. The doctor Mm t shave. Such is the mieroba s dramatic vengeance. NO CIGARETTES ALLOWED. Some Brcoklvn girls have bound themselves into what they call the h Anti-C garetts League," and each member by tbo terms of the institution has to speak to at least one young man every day on the evil effects of cigarettes. If, after being spoken to on two occasions, any young man shall prove 80 hardened as to pessist in smoking c,<g<u- ettes, the members will boycott him until he has provided positive proof that he hag not smoked cigarettes for folly four weeks. It is not intended however, says tbe Twice a Week Journal," to deprive young men of the solace of tobacco en- tirely, for they are to be permitted co use pipes a.nd cigars. OLD PEOPLE'S JOYS. Writing on this subjsct to the Spectator a correspondent aged «ixty, who signs bimself A High Churchman, contends thivt no sane man would like to live his life over again. It ia astonishing," he isdds, how the ordinary afuvirs of life Mt-m to adapt themselves to your added years. One's pleasures are qaietar, but quite as enjoyable. To live in the lives of your children, to watch their progress, the development of their minds is one great Boarce of pleasure. Then one bas music, reading, gardening, &11, Way I also add tbat I took the advice of an old friend some years ago, who said the two things most likely to giva pleasure in declining life were to learn whist and to play the violoncello NEW SLANG PHRASE. It's fierce," is New phrase. If one wears a shirt that has plenty of colour, his friends say It's fierce if » youug lady corner ont with aisowy s oaldpm and a diamond tiara, her admirers whisper one to another, Isn't she fierce." If a boras shows up well on the track tbe word paHses along tiHt Whirlwind is fierce to- day." The golfer who succeeds ia winning five out of six holes is fierce," and when the baby is brought out nil dreaeed in its downiest coat and softest luces, its beautiful auntie holds up be hands and exclaims, Ob, isn't the darling fierce ?" m|

Bennipond split a-pastern whilst running in the Gopsall Plate on Wednesday. Senatenr (4ys), 6st. 9ib., will be ridden in tha Cesarewitch by b. Townsend. The business in connection with Zagige6 for the Cesarewitch is of a. perplexing character, and onlookers of many years' experience on the Turf beein at a. loss to understand the doings in con- nection with the filiv. Next ysar's Eclipsa Stakes will be the race of the summor if Diamond -Inbile3 gan .Disguise II. are opposed to Baron Holhschild's Eryx; one of the best two year olds in Europe. This is the first English engagement of Eryx, who ii also entered for thfi St. Leger. The story went the rounds at Leicester Wednes- day tbat another of the American jockeys had been distinguishing himself the previous night, showing desperate valour and courage in an encounter at bis hotel with a thirteen-year-old page boy who had done something tbat dig- pleased him, and whom he knocked senseless. The matterwill probably be made the subject ofPoiice Court proceedings. A paragraph is going round the papers (eava IVith") announcing tha.t Sloan will next season lid? for the Prince of Wales, and that his retaining fee in S5,000 The latter part of this statement is as stupidly ialso as it is extravagantly absurd.. It may be bopod that there is no trnth in the report tha.t the PIince has engaged Sloan. That jockey's exhibitions in theDerby and iu the Pott- land Plate were as glaring ex-xraplea of fonl riding as have ever been seen in England. If, however, Sloan is to ?< at the Royal colours, Jet it be distinctly ^understood tha." there will be no repetition of the discreditable fatuity and servility er which were exhibited at Doncaster, and that if in ftitELr,, the Princt'u jockey is guilty of unfair xidi-ig the. horse, if it has won, will be disqaali- fied, and ita rider will be snappudpd for an ade. quate period.
