ABOUT MEN AND WOMEN.
ABOUT MEN AND WOMEN. Sir George Faudel-Pbillips, Bart., the outgoing Lord Mayor, can now boast of being a much-honoured man. He has received the "Leopold'' Order from the King of the Belgians; he is Commander of liie "White Elephant" of Siam; the King of Ssrvia has decorated him with the "St. Bava" Urder; he is Chevalier of the Lion and Sun" of Persia, and has now been appointed by the Queen Knight (irand Cross of the Or-iw of the "Indian Empire," in special token of iiis exertions in reiidxd to the Famine Fund. The Lord Mayor-elkqct proceeded on Monday morn- ing to the House of Lord,, for the purpose of being presented by his civic colleagues to the Lord Chancellor. This function formerly took place a.t the official residence of the Lord Chancellor; and it was Lord Halebury who first introduced the practice of receiving the new Lord Mayor in the Priuce7e Chamber. Aptly enough, the pedestal of Gibson's marble group of the enthroned Victoria, with which the civic visitors stood face to face throughout the ceremony, bears a fine allegorical representation of Commerce. The fee paid to Lerd HaJsbury on this event is £ 7 15s.; but, as the company always adjourn to puncheon at his lordship's invitation, the Ltird Chancellor cannot be said to be the gainer by the transaction. The Lord Alayor-elect wore for the first time the reception robe of purple silk, which he will not require agoiii until lie begins to put in his lrdinary official attendances at "the Mansion tiouae Police-court aud the Oid Bailey Sessions. Mr. Andrew Lang. in the course of his review if Lord Tennyson's memoir of his illustrious father, in Lungman's, writes.- On November 19th, 1850, Teuuyson dreamt that Prince Albert came and fcisseu him, whereto hM replied: Very kind, but very uerman!' Next day he received, Jirough the Prince's admiration, the offer of the Laureatesiiip. [iogers bad declined it, on account of his ei-cat age. Uter passing from Southr. to Wordsworth the bayf were not, at that time, ridiculous, as they were when Scott refused the crown of Pye and Cib er. ic,r tha Laurea'teship, and did not hurry in a cab to a oews- paper office with a threnody on Wordsworth's death. That deveionineut of enterprise is modern. Ha -ccepted the baj-i, Vcuahles assuring him tf!é. f would securc for bim the Jivx-r wing VI-t,u he iijied out. Here, adds Mr. L-ing, oce-us a story which may, or may not, be (fue; I have forgotten uiy auixovity. Tennyson was at a dance when a young lUall, aad, in a fit of poetical abstraction, .or seeking a place wherein to smoke, Btraye into the supper room. One old gentleman was there, who said: Y, ung snr, if you have come for the livers you are too itce. I have eaten them all." Next fumraer, if all goes wn wHJ, tlw,TJ, two ..ery interesting old men will vioit this country, writes a correspondent. They are twin brotliers. Colonel H. O. N,Úll and Ci.louel J.

The two old nen are still vigorous in mind and uody; both own arms, and neither of Jiem ever used tobacco or indulged in alcoholic refreshments. Their grand- ather lived to over ninety-oioe years, and their atber eighty-eight years. The latter was one of he soldiers who fought against the British in 1812.

He w:¡ actually popular with tlie Irish jarty when he was first Chief Secretary, back in tLo .¡J days when Irish members did not dia lain to cgr.tiate with a Tory Minister. Mr. A. M.

In the matter of the stono-laying of the new Jhrist's Hospital by the Priucc of Wales on ft'atur- iay, the occasion may serve for recailing other itnilar functions previously attended by his Royal lighncss.

In 181j ttt3 Immense publfe which reads tha Graphic wise much touched and interested in a story of military life entitled "Boo tie's Baby," which ran through the pages of that journal. The story was so fresh, true, charming and original, as to impress the critical with the belief mat "the Service had developed a Bret Harte to do for it what the noted American had done for the Western Mining Camps When "Bootle's" had run its course it appeared as a shilling issue on the book- stalls, and had an instant extension of its fltmc. Then came an overwhelming public curiosity, a close investigation of army lists, a genera) attribut- ing of the work to every army man who had ever even succeeded in getting a growling letter inserted in the Times—only an army man of long and extended experience could have fathered this book, "0 the voice of a discriminating public said. Then came the humiliation of humiliations, for it grades ally leaked out that "John Strange Winter." who had heen a lieutenant in the Guards, a captain on the retired list, a colonel with a snug sinecure at Whitehall, ws a MWMM. Once the puzzle was revealed it did not take long to "ecure deta'ts, and the wodd )ea'nt that John St,ran" Winter was the MM de plume of Mn.

Her father was rector of St. "v-pvgprets, York; hut previous to his entering Holy Orders, Mr. Palmer had been for some years an officer in the Koyai Artillery, thus maintaining 'he radition of his family—his father, grandfather, and ,4Teat- grandfather having been army men. Miss Palmer commenced her literary life with a short story contributed to a IAi;er published in her native city, at the age of eighteen, subse- quently, she corrributed for eight or nine years to the Ftmily Ihrald, Ismdon Society, and numerous province] journals, aud during this period of noviciate pindueed no less "han forty novels, many of three-volume length. In 188 she married Mr. Arthur Sty.nnard, a civil engineer, who had served with distinction under the late General Gordon. Karly in their married life Mrs. Stannard chanced to shew her husband an old and battered manuscript which bad been rofussd by six sapient editors. He read th? soiled ?ges over and o?er. and made the apparently p?"p<?terous su?ees'ion that the oft-) T'f?ec'ed shfuia be tried upon the Cm?tc. Mrs. Si anna rd received the proposal with much merri-j n.cnt, but her husband insisted, and of, the tra-?llei' went again, this time to the well known office ir! the Strand. The csrnTm«jMnce was almost forgoiter until one evening Siannurd, returning frvn, h(r waiw. with a cast horse-shoe whichhe had picked up, dangling from hec finger-end, found awaiting her, upon her hall-tfcble, a polite rote fron] the editor of "I,e notifying that "Bootle's 8al y would make her how in the page-, of thf eveat. illosira'ed we/ikiy.

WifSi tear liovenirer contorts an inierestinw article an Lady Salisbury, the wife of the Prime Minister. Nothing, says the writer, Miss Lindsay, could have been more delightful than Lady Salisbury's girlhood. Sh j was one of a large family of bothers ami sisters, and had in her father (Baron Aldwson) a friend and companion. It was he who watched over her studies and advised her what books to read. Entertaining as the judge was when with his kgal brethren, he was even more so with- in his family circle, and the Long ;o,3"il)n was -0 his children an unbrnlten period of :oiHr. and jollity. Love for his native Norfolk led the judge to linvo his country house at Lowestoft. In tUis lovely home, with gardens and terraces sloping down to the beach. Lady Salisbury spent her summers as a girl. She walked the Denes with her father as lie read his favourite Horace or composed verses on some passing incident. Then there were delightful sketching parties, river excursions, aad picnics, which her father planned. Lady Salisbury has privod, as ww an know, an excellent wife. She was quite clever enough to act in past times as her husband's amanuensis, and the literary character of her family and her own early surroundings made her an admirable helpmeet to a man who depended largely upon his pea for his daily bread. The first eight years of her married lif, wore passed in this way, her husband absorbed in his duties in the House of Commons, where ho was known as a somewhat audacious UiO-ugli biilliaiC debater, and iu journalistic work. To turn to Lady Sslishurj- as a hostess, consider htr in two distinct roles—that of the enter- tainer of htr private friends and family, and t; .5 of the ofiiciai hostess, as the wife of a Minister of the Crown. It is in the house-parties at Hatfiela that Lady Salisbury shines most. Ever kind and thoughtful for the comfort and pleasure of her guests, she was, \iefore illness came upon her, a brilliant and entertaining talkw, recalling something of her fatfiei- "I gifts of conversation. Throughout the winter balls and d^mer-parlies used to follow ia quick succession at Hatfield. Lord Salisbury, immersed in politics or devoting his leisure hours to chemistry in his lalicrfiiyry, bRA all his life been only too glf.d to leave tha management of social j matter in the Lands of his able wife, in whose j- ment he places unlimited coulideuce. The Queen has approred the appointment of the of Buccleuch and Queensbeny, K. T., to be a Knight cf the Garter, in the room of the late Marquis of Northampton. William Henry Walter Montagu-Douglas-Scott succeeded his father, the filth Duke, who carried Ladv Charlotte Anne Thynue, daughter of the second Marquis of Bath. Be was born at Montagu House, London, in September, 183L. and 1n 1859 married Lady Louise Jorte Hamilton, daughter of the first Duke of Aber- com. He was educated. at Eton aud at Christ Church.

Nothing is more bMtiful than the devotion of the Prime Minister tais invalid wife, by whose chair he is frequently toe seen walking when able to snatch an hour fri the cares of State. Their msrried life hss j bti one of unruffled serenity, and in no previous faily of the Cecils has historic Hatfield shewn a m* united and beautiful home life than under the ruof the present Marchioness of Salisbury. 1 Senior Chief Insp-ectorship of Schools?, under thefiducntion Departmrnt, is about to becoma vact by the retirement of the Rev. T. W. Sharpe, C.Bwhose extended period of employment in that pos\vill expire this month. Mr. Sharpe, who has neai completed his sixty-eighth year, graduated f run Trinity College, Cambridge, as twelfth wreier in 1852. He was ordained deacon in 1853. and Post in the following year. He was appointed an pector of Schools in 1859, and Inspector of Traiig Colleges in 1875. Since 1890 he has been Chieigppctor, and was made a C.B. in 1894. The sahuf the post which he vacates is ZI, 100 a year. Thfslt of the Frimate to Northampton recalls a storyi unconnected with one of the Midland sees. The Sragan Bishop of was visiting a rura! parislo officiate at some festive function, and exper to find the usual village rejoicings. But on ririg from the station to the church he noticed that tgag on the tower was flying at half-mast. Ho what ?" he ash1 the driver; who's dead ? "Tlierll't-, DO one dc,d, sir," replied the jarvey, "that'.r you, sir. We always fly tlie Bag at mast for thtjhop, and at half for the Suffragan." The l,alf- t prelate" might have been angry, but he wa;. The humour of the situation amused him gry. Anrtnaffie li-s to be added to tile Hilt. or MHitia officerso have earned distinction for themselves in the vial military service. Captain E. C. d'H.

"in recognition of L-1, tfiating%d service whilst employed against Bawarda roarauding naiive chia,en the frontier befweetena Leone and Liberia, 1896." Lord Vs oisele, fcuown to be a firm believer in the Militia, holds strongly that the service has never t properly encouraged. At a result, several t, officers who have done good service in Africa aiSewhere have been singled out lately for ;p9Ccognidon, which in all cases has boen deservedheBe examples, remarks the Army and A'avy G-a. ought to act as an inducement till others tok employment, more particularly in; Africa. e are many keen soldiers in the com- missioneqjg of the, Militia, and the excellent reports r'=\!d to the Colonial Office from time to time of t1.vho are in its service shew clearly that they to be relied upon to do their duty when broiface to face with these bSaek enemies which ip \8t forty-two years British troops bUQ found to Îèir M<M*<t Ðal 01»" Captain William Edward Clifton Smith, another of the slain officers, entered the army in 1889, and got his company on October 21st last year. He had only recently returned to the Derbyshire Regiment, after a period of service in Africa under the Royal Niger Company. Major Forbes-Macbean, who was wounfled in the fight, has twenty-one years' service, having joined the army in 1879 He became Captain in 1884 .nd Major in 1893. He served with the 92nd (Gordon) Rigtilaiiderb in the Afghan War of 1879-80, and was piesent in the engagement at Charaaiah on October 3th, 1879, with the Maidan Expedition, in the )perations around Cahul in December. 1879, and in the action at Ch-irasiah in 1880. He accompanied [..ord Roberts during the inarch to Gawiaiiar, was present at the reconnaissance on October 31st and at [,he Battle of CAndaiiar. He received for this cam- paign the medal with three claups and the brooze iecoration. He also served in the Boer War of 1881 'md was mentioned in despatches. For those who wish to be mildly vicious at a moderate expense, says Mr. Douglas Sladen in the Graphic, Oatend is very handy. You can see fortunes won and lost in a night as you can at Monte Carlo, though perhaps not quite so often, for mly some of the people who gamble every winter gamble on through the summer. You can become a neither of the Club Prive for the whole season fo- twenty francs. There is no difficulty about being U' .ted to the club. All you have to do is to get our name put down two days before you wish to ommonce your membership by any Tom, Dick, or fiarry who is already a member. Tiiis has its dis- advantages. One day two duly elected members ntered the club and proceeded to place the naximum— £ 430, I olieve-tfw one on red and the ither on black. They were expert, players, and just is the ball was going lo settle into black the ono who had staked on re*1 Iijok up his stake and walked. Nothing coula be done he bin); these gambling clubs being technically illegal, -nit could be brought <13 the Belgian courts to «;over money. A litti, jphilc ago the wife of a leading business man. at Antwerp was discovered draping louis J'or out jf her fan on to a winning square afte. the ball had stopped. She was watched, and observed to do it K verrtI times. Inquiries were made as to who she svafi, m the good position of herhusi and wa- learnt the authorities* of the club decided to spare lim the pain of ;jiy public scandal, and neithe: expelled her from the club aor furhade her to entei it. She was pcli- ely informed that she must not sii down at the table-that was ail. She could still pUj st anding np, it being impossible then for htr to play othei'wise than fairly. Much sjmpn*hy is natu^Uy expressed for Colonel fen Hamilton, who has been deprived of his brigaie comma nd in the Tirah expedition, his horse having fallen 01 him and broken his leg. Colonel Hamilton at bovue when the frontier war brok- out, but at once tlrrew up his leave and hurried back to lnitie when it became known that an expedition was to be crgaoised under >3ir William Lockliart. Originally in the Gordon Highlanders, Colonel Hamilton's promotion has been rapid. Nov yet forty- the year. of age. he became a colonel in the Army in November, 1891 he was but tliirtv-oiglit, and he is a C. B. and a D.S. O. For a fighting soldier of his qualities it mi st be a bitter disappointment to iv. absent fro'E the ^eld at a time when there is reol hard woxk lo be dl)fJe.

Mr. Tregonning, referring to the salary of Mr. W. Buckley Roderick, started thab the remunera- tion received by Mr. Roderick at present was very poor. He would move that the Local Government Board be applied to to sanction an increase of the salary of Mr. Buckley Roderick from £ 100 to £ 140 pei annum. Mr. Tregonning then explained the circumstances ui'der which Mr. Roderick received. the appointment. The cumber of inquests in the three districts were as follows: —Mr. Sbipley Lewis' district 71 in, quests, average payment per inquest £ 2 16s. 4d.; Mr. W alters' district 82 inquests, average payment £ 2 14s. 10d.

Mr. Roderick would shortly be in a position to appeal to the Home Secretary. Mr. Johtns seconded 'the amendment. The coroners in the other districts had a very much longer distance to go.

Thev afterwards procejeded to deck, and th, vessel stuck on n slag bank near the Mynyd[. Mawr statue. The pilot, durl-ng the time he ya8 in charge of th, vessel, acted strangely, aile appeared to be under the influence of drink. The pilot, who heard the statement made against him, denied that 4c was under the in- fluence of drink. The Harbour Superirotndeht (Mr. Fov'er) stated that he had inquirvl very carefullv into the case. and found that the x>iiot. had navlgateo the vessel properly. The night was very dark, and but for the anchor con)ins into contact with the chain of the buoy, Avhici caused an hour's delay, there would have been no cause for com- plaint against the pilot.

If INFRIXíiING COUNTY I cOcRT PRACTICE. ) THE SWAXSt", PUBLIC SAID TO HAVE I lEEN MISLED. MO'HON BEFORE HIS HONOI-R. Ax intercstin' matter came before his Honour Judge Gwilym Villiams, at the Swansea County Court on Wetnesday morning. Mr. W. P. Smith (instruted by the Incorporated Law Society of Swasea and eath, Mr. David Seline foecretm) drewthe attention of his Honour to the fact that sometime ago a notice, purporting to be a county 01111: order, was sent to one Mrs Richards, of 11, Sea View-terrace, Swansea, demanding pa-ment of a small debt. Becoming suspicious cftbe document, he made "inquiries, and dis<over.i it to be got up in such a way as to inisleai any ignorant person. The node? was sent o:t at the instigation of the Swan- sea Coal Ompany, but the Incorporated Law Society die oot wish to take any proceedings against th-m, but only to invite his Honour to give an expression of opinion upon the subject. which was clearly abusing county court proce- dure. Mr. Id win Davies. who appeared for the Swanse? Coal Company, apologised on their behalf ;or having issued the circular, and ex plained that such circulars were largely distri- buted ia different parts of the country. They were sold by law ordinary stationers, and the one in. qiestion was purchased from a respectable stationer in Swansea. It was issued by the com pally, who were ignorant of the fact that they were infringing the Solicitors' Act. H?s -Uonwdr h ou?;lit tl His Honour thought that the Swansea Incor- porated Eaw Society had justified its existence by bringing this matter before him. He was glad to ilnd that the society, in what they had done, had gone ahead of other provincial towns. There were a great many abuses affecting the practice of the county court which it was about time to stop. The case before him was clearly a case in which the Swansea branch was justiSed in taking action. He had no power to inflict, any punishment upcr. the persons complained of, but le would say that the impression on his rrund afwr reading the document was that it was an unintentional infringement, and if any ain daf case was brought before him he would be piepared to aid and abet the Law Society in any proceedings they might take against any person (. infringing. He thought that that expression of opinion was all that was required of him. The following is a. copy of the circular com- plained of :The County Court, for the recov- ery of small debts and demands, 9 and 10 Vic- toria, cap. 25. I hereby give you notice that tmless the sun! of pounds shillings and —— pence due from you be paid on or before the day of 189—, procoedmgs under the above Act will be taken against you without deiay in the district County Court.

Since 1886 the members more than rebled their number.—Secretarv Harris and 3ro.

Nicholson proposed the health of the president, vfter wlrcm the ledge takes its name. He in- formed those present that the very existence if the lodge, as well as its flourishing state, vas due to the interest the president had taken n its welfare. The brethren ought to be • !oud to have such a gentleman on the roll, s his odyice and suggestions were at all times nvaluable. These remarks were received with ovation and with musical honours.— V most erinysbis evening was t lwn brought to 1, close.

I SWANSEA CORPORATI ON I AFFAIRS, SfREFTS COMMITTEE. I The ordinary fortnightly meeting of the Swan- Streets Committee was held at the Guildhall 01 Tuesday afternoon. Col. Pike presided. Lor Jersey's ag-ent wrote expressing his willingTiet to form and metal his portion of the Cemetery road, and asking that the Corporation should te likewise before the portion immediately in front of the cemetery. The surveyor recommnded that this be carried out. and it was adopted Col. Morgan's agent, Mr. Excell, wrote, oiiering 1 to metal four new streets on the Brynmill estate, provided the Corporation would take them over when they were made. The Chairman and Mr. Tucker were anxious to accept the offer, butl there was opposition from Mr. Watkins, and it was decided to defer further consideration of the matter until the Surveyor reported on the number of houses already erectt d in the streets. It was decided on the motion of the Chairman to 0 a soaxi fier a mac b iiie purchase at the cost of £120 a scarifier, a machine to be attached to the back of the steam roller for tearing up the road. With a scarifier the cost of breaking up the road varies from one-sixth of a penny to a half-penny per square yard, against a penny per yard when torn up by hand. It was estimated that a saving of about zElSO per annum would be effected by its use. NEW BUILDINGS IN SWANSEA.

SPORTIANA. I
SPORTIANA. There was no one (writes "Treforis") who ex- pected that Lhvynypia would give Moriston such a severe drubbing as they did on Saturday. That the Rliondda champions would win was a foregone conclusion, but. by a goal and eight kiæ- It takes a deal of explaining, and of tho first reason which might account for it per- haps it were best to say as little as possible. Last season Llwynypia earned a* reputa-tion for the opposite of Iamb-like play, and this season they seem to be bent on keeping up that reputa- tion with a vengeance. It could hardly be dignified by the name of football what "was played on Saturday; it was more a bashing end scrambling game than anything else. • « mason That imd'oubtedly was the principal mason one can g,?ve as an excuse for the rŒt. Then, LI v> v nvpla are sure to average out about 13 stone apiece; Moriston would probably average out somewhere about ll. So those who did not gee the game can foicn a pretty accurate guess how the forwards shaped. Morriston were shoved and pushed anywhere and everywhere, ar-i the Llwynypia. pack had tilings all their own wav. And whether it was of the injury which Dai Harris received to his knee before the game started, or whether it was because they were playing behind a beaten and demoralised pack, but anyhow the Vorriston halves were completely outdid, Thomas and Powell beating them fair. Once they got the leather out to the three-quarters, too, it was a case of all C. P. Really Liwynypio gave a splendid exposition of the pacing game: thpy seem to have taken to heart the lesson Cardiff taught them the pre- vious week. « < Of course, there waa practically no oppor- tunity for anv combined phy on the part of the Morrlston backs. White pfcyed a very -vrarm game, and were it not for his sp.endid -—ence, the scoring would have even been highrr. Wilii- combe did some effective tackling, going for his man like a bull at a gate. The injmy lie re- eeived vras a nasty one, and it is doubtful whether he will be able to turn out against Lampeter next week. Scott did some smart things, and his shot for goal in the second jnlf was a good one. Ct Momstcn have certainly no cause to feel dis- couraged. They were :2,ying against OVfT- coung-?d. 'Ili c-y wr?i-e T), "tN .!?"r sition again. ,B;lt they want a heavier pack. Tha backs are all right. « » Still they come. Another six goals were added by Swansea on Saturday to their already respectable total, and what is more they have kept their goal from being penetrated for three weeks im succession. Pembroke D-cck, Car- marthen College, and now Aberdare have failed to 1Ilotch a single point against the bold Black and Whites. Thirty-four goals against seven in six matches is indeed a very creditable per- formance, and augurs well for the game to follow next week against Brecon. ffr '•* was th" Last Satmi11Y's game, however, was th best of them all, for the victors cm this occa- sion we-re certainly stronger, with the excep- tion perhaps of Brecon away. than any they have met so far. even including Forth, for I am certain if Swansea h?d even been able to put the same combination in the field a.t the latter place they would have made rings roend them. It is the only blot on Swansea's copybook so far, and it was a pity they had to fulfil the engagement with such a disorganised lot. W hen one considers that Edwards, Riddell, Newton, Robinson and Bums did not turn out defeat can easily be accounted for. To the cup game, however. The visitors to ..II appearance showed splendid dash from the outset, and gave one the impression that the homesters were not going to do as they liked with them. There were very few who would have given long odds on Swansea running cut winners by more than a couple of goals frorri the first quarter of an hour's play. It was towards the end of the initial half though that Swansea began to make matters warm— it was tiien the fun began, and didn't they keep it up? < It was a treat to see them weedling around their opponents and robbing and beating them continually, always making progress, always bringing about a dangerous assault. In some respects, however, the previous week's game ww-i far batter in the matter of combination, but there were times on Saturday when it would be difficult to improve upon this. This Ctui easily be accounted for, for the visitors were no laggards, and evetn when thoroughly beaten were not slow to seize opportunities They did not give up the ghost right to the end, and kept pegging away with indomitable pluck and parseveiance. It was this splendid spirit that one could not help admiring, and, true to the traditions of the district from which they hailed, they would never admit being {jut- ayed Ilntn t-V final tootle of the whistle. w » That they were outplayed gos without ques tion. Thev were thorcughlv outclassed, and they must think themselves extremely lucky to have escaped with six goals against them, for many shots were sent in which might easily have been effective with a less wary goal-keepei than Ben Morris. Th-re was oniv one goal for which they can justly blame him. and excepting that it must be admitted he acquitted himsel; very creditably. He dealt with many more di- fieult shots than the one referred to and at one time saved repeatedly. < <* Again you cannot justly pile the blame on the forwards, for they were never backed up or Bupported as iiiey should hove been. They were a. speedy lot and, though lacking in cleverness, would have done much better with good trio behind them. Their halves seemed constantly at work, but that work was mostly confined to defending the backs and they never seemed able to concentrate their efforts on the forwards. • • » Rces. th-eir centre half, did not seem to relish the way Robinson puzzled lrim. and got his "tape" out, whereupon the latter caught hold of him and waitlzed him round a bit. The re- feree had his eye on him, and gave Swansea a free. It is a. pity some players cannot keep their tempers when playing, for it only lowers the game, and I ira very pleased to see it was in no way attributable to the homesters. Whilst doling with this also it would not he out of pkoe to mention another incident. Onr of the spectators was not. particularly choice In his language on Saturday, and paid more attention to the remarks of one or two persons obtaining a free view from the hoardings sur- rounding the field. I am inclined to think it Was one of the Aberdare supporters. • Swansea, to a man, played a sterling game, ted beyond this it is needless to say more. Tom Harry, who once more appeared in the team, showed up conspicuously on many ccoa- sions, and played a rattling good centre-half game. • The Swansea team to play Aberavon at Aberavon on. Saturday will be different from that which defmed Devonpcrt Albion in that Grey and Devon Williams will take the places in the forwards vice Livingston Davies and Harris • The team will thus be: Back, Bancroft; three-quarters, F. Drew, Rees. Gordon and Davuets half-backs. D. James and E. James; fcrwaxds, Rioe, Thomas, Jackson, Davies, Jones, Parker, Grey and Williams. V There was some dissension at the meeting ub-out an alteration in the three-quarter line. Gordon, who has been playing a lot below form of late, offered, I believe, to stand down, but $he committee thought it inadvisable to pfcy a new man against Aberavon, and so he main- tains his position. The following will constitute the Morriston team against Lampeter College at Morriston on Saturday next: Back, Scott: three-quarters, White, TinAssen, W. WiSl-Hams and Jack Pa vies; half-backs, Ross Thomas and J. Davies; forwards, Tom Roberts. Tom Wil- liams. J). Jenkins fcapfewn), Kemp. Gomer Bowen, Cooper, D. Edwards and W. Joseph. 4 It will be noticed that RoSs Thomas, the old half-back, will take the place of Harries at half, owing to the latter's indisposition. » » The Morristfon Committee wishes to call the attention of footballers and others to the grand concert in aid of the club, which will take place at the Public Hall cci Saturday. < » Llanelly will be represented by their full telID on Saturday next, when thev mect Neath away.

The Uinder-Sheriff held a court at SWUllie. on Saturday U, uy the case of Llcwevn Wi.- iiams, liiaiigyieiubU, against \V iiuam 'ihomai ?iid otuer?. k-es f-c,?r Vne plaintiff, anc, Mr. Rawkes appeared for the plaintiff, ana Air. Morgan for rue defendant. Mr. Morgan took o b jection to the ability t< try the action. He said there were three de- fendants, two of whom were executors undt. the will of Mr. lienry Thomas. They wei, vviiliam Thomas and John Thomas and Johr James. Joha J-ajn-es failed to appear to defenc .n action, njid Mr. jL?.Vt.?s .?.?i?ea <in iiit? i&cutory judgment againBt him, though th'? others were appearing in &LSwer. He objected that under a luie aid down it was therefore impossible to bring this action. Only one out. of several defendants had failed to appear, ard a writ of inquiry could only be issued after judgment had been given against the otliers who had appeared. The under-Sheriff ruled against Mr. Morgan, but took a note of the objection. Llewelyn Williams said that he was the plain- tiff, and had been in an action in the Countv Court against Elizabeth Walters, widow cf William Walters, rince deceased, on account of money lent by his fcther, Thomas Williams, Llangyfelach. The action was for £21 7s. 2d. dbt and costs. Mr. 8'<?ney Haines, from the omce of the District Regist"ar of the High Court, appeared with th r{'oord )f tha 0(mrt. PlamtiS (continuing) sa?d he recovered judg- ment, while the case against the two other defendants was dismissed. He made an appli- cation to the Probate Court to have a bond assigned to him for the purpose of that action. Walters died in 1831. and Mrs. Walters paid interest down to 1892. She. therefore, knew that the estate was indebted to his father. The juv gave judgment for plaintiff for £ 31 7s. 2d.

SEQUEL TO AN OUTING TO PAKKMILL. ——— JUDGE WILLIAMS AND THE RULE OF THE ROAD. At the Swansea County Court on Tuesday, before his Honour Judge G-wiiym Williams, Mr. VT. Sinus, guardian for Liaaisainlet, sued Mr. David Bonoeii, cab proprietor. Poiitardu- lais, for the sum of £3 8s. 6d. ior damage caused to his trap in August last. Pikdu-ii was represented by Messrs. R. and C. B. Jer- kins, and Mr. Lahne defended. Pkintiif was driving two joung ladies on the date in question, when his trap was over- turned and damaged, all the occupants being thruwn to the gruund, by the hind wheel of defendants brake coming in contact with it. Defendant at the time was driving a Sunday school party from Parkmill, and it appeared that he drove forward when he should have stepped to allow plaintiff to pass, and his Hoii-vUr said it was time to explode the idea in the minds of drivers generally that they had a rig lit to go forward notwithstanding that e. cai-riage coming in the opposition did not get out of the w-u.-v. "That is not so," said his Honour, who then proceeded to say that the carelessness and seeming ignorance of drivers wa« becoming so prevalent that perhaps he ought to say that there was mo limit of the road a dri ver might occupy. It was only a question of usage, and, of course, everybody tries to conform to the custom of keeping on a certain sde of the road, but it did not folltow that there was an arbitrary rule which side a driver should take. Judgment was entered for the amount clamed-
