I FOR r WOMEN FOLK. t—" m Homely Hints & Dainty Dishes. WITH PARS. INTERESTING TO THE MERE MAN. A touch of some of the new silks and velvets is all that is needed to give a smart air to a plain gown. Once in every two or three weeks the burner of a lamp should he washed in strong soap suds or in soda. water. Many persons boil them in soda water, but it is hardly neces- sary. Miss Florence Haywood, of St. Louis, has been commissioned to select talented women of England and the Continent of Europe to represent their countries at the St. Louis Exposition. For eandwiches, chop boiled beef, tongue, and mushrooms together very finely; season with pepper and salt. Make it into a paste with French mustard, and spread between slices of thin bread and butter. It is possible, if proper care is exercised, to have laml)e almost odourless. The best lamp in the world for reading purposes is a sindent lamp. The first consideration in purchasing a lamp of any description is that it is safe. When using sardines for savouries the recipe generally directs that they shall be skinned. To do this just slip each one quickly in and out of boiling water, and you will be able to remove the skin quite easily with a knife. Take one quart of milk, and when nearly boiling mix in three tableepoonfuls of pure coffee, and let all boil up. Cover the pan and set on one side of the stove to steep for a quarter of an hour. Beat together five eggs, strain the coffee and milk, and add it to the eggs. Sweeten and pour into a greased mould and steam well. This gives coffee custard. Wrinkles Can be Avoided I vne ot tne prettiest women in London society is said to plunge a towel in very hot water, wring it out, and leave it on her face for half an hour every night before going to bed, and this lady has no wrinkles. Washing the face from the lower part to the top will delay the appearance of wrinkles. Coffee Buns I Three-quarters of a pound of flour, three trances of butter; rub the batter into the flour with the hand, then put in a table or dessert spoonful of yeast, two eggs well beaten, half- pint of warm new milk; mix all well together. Let them stand to lighten, then add three ounces of pounded lump sugar, and bake in' tittle tins. Boiled Lemon Pudding I Quarter of a pound of suet, one lemon, crumb of a half-quartern loaf, quarter of a pound of loaf sugar, two eggs, half a wine- glassful of brandy, same of sherry, half an ounce of citron peel, and twelve sweet almonds. Grate bread, add suet finely chopped, citron peel, and almonds cut finely or pounded. Beat eggs briskly for fifteen minutes, add brandy and sherry, beating briskly all the time. Then add the sugar- crushed—and, lastly, the juice and rind of the lemon. Mix well with dry ingredients, tie iown in a well-greased mould, and boil for tour hours.. Roast Duck I To roast the canvasback, red-head or mal- lard duck, select a fine fat fowl, pick, singe, and draw thoroughly and carefully; wipe out, and sprinkle the inside lightly with salt; cut an opening at the neck, and thoroughly draw the head and neck, letting the head emerge at the back between the drumsticks; truss it in place. Sprinkle salt and pepper on outside, place in a roasting pan in brisk oven, and cook eighteen minutes, basting frequently. Arrange on a hot dish, untrussed, add a few spoonfuls of white broth, garnish hominy and Jurrent jelly. One duck makes but two por- tions, as only the breast is served. Necessary in the Household Ammonia is of such. great value to house- hold matters that no housekeeper shortldfail to keep a supply always at hand. For instance, a few drops put into the bath water will make it most invigorating. Its uses in cleaning and removing grease are manifold. When a freshly-oiled sewing machine has left yellow stains on the fabric sewn these can be removed by rubbing them over with a little liquid ammonia and then washing in the ordinary way. Again, a teaspoonful of ammonia, in a cupful of water will clean gold or silver jewellery, and a few drops on the underside of a. diamond will clean it imme- diately and increase its brilliancy. When acid has been spilt on cloth and has taken out the colour ammonia should be applied to the spot, after which a little chloroform rubbed on will, in almost all cases, restore the ooiour. Always in Fashion I Fashion decrees that with most of our tailor-made dresses our hats should be in a sorrfesponding shade, but there is atill a great liking for black, and with our best frocks our picture hats should be black or all green. rhis is a safe rule which never alters; and It should be a consolation to the woman of limited means to know that the black hat, when of beautiful design, is always in fashion, and a joy for ever." There has been a decided feeling for plain tulle veils in brown, blne, and white, always treated in the American way, crossing at the back and tying in a bow in front. This is merely a fad of fashion, but at the same time it is a very becoming one. which has great advantages when the wearer is motor- ing or travelling. To bogin with, it keeps the bat on, and shelters the hair from the dust.

- I PROMOTION FOK B.-P.
I PROMOTION FOK B.-P. General Not Going to India. MAFEKING HERO MAY SUCCEED LYTTELTON. Rumours have been afloat for some time regarding General Baden-Powell. The management of the South African Constabu- lary, it is said, has given dissatisfaction, and talk of its disbandnient and the removal of "B.-P." to India has been rife. We are in a position (says the "St. James' Gazette") to say with authority that the Government Departments directly and indirectly concerned with the personnel and the administration of the South African Constabularly have received nothing either from Lord Milner or the military authorities that would in any way justify the reports that are being circu- lated. Certain changes are contemplated in connection with the force, but they arc not, we are informed, the outcome of dissatisfac- tion with the way it has been conducted up to the present. A scheme, we understand, is to be submitted to Mr. Chamberlain during his stay in South Africa having for its object the organisation of a constabularly forco in the two new Colonies on the lines of the Cape Police. It will be essentially a police force, and be wholly under the charge of the civil adminis- tration. In considering the changes the posi- tion of General Baden-Powell was naturally discussed, and the view taken alike by the authorities in South Africa, in Downing-street, and in Pall-mall was that the retention of General Baden-Powell in the capacity he has, in the opinion of the Government, so ably filled during a trying period was no longer necessary, and that his services would be better utilised in another direction. Where General Baden-Powell will go has not been definitely settled, but we can state very authoritatively that he will not go to India. It will probably be found that the change will constitute substantial promotion for the hero of Mafeking. Mr. Brodrick and Lord Roberts have two positions under considera- tion at the present time. There is some idea of giving General Lyttelton, who at present commands the forces In South Africa, an important appointment in connection with one of the Army Corps, and should that be decided upon General Baden-Powell will take General Lyttelton's place as head of the South African Army. Another scheme provides for the appointment of General Baden-Powell to an Army Corps.
;RESERVISTS OUT OF EMPLOY.I
RESERVISTS OUT OF EMPLOY. I Evening Express" Reference List. A great deal of the undoubted distress which exists in various parts of the country is attributed to the large numbers of men who have returned from the Army in South Africa, and who have found the situations they left at the call to arms filled up. In order to test the measure to which this condition of things has attained in South Wales and Monmouthshire, the "Evening Express is now publishing day by day (and free of all charge) a list of unemployed Reservists resident in this district of whose cases "we have been advised. Reservists who are out of employment and who desire work, are, accordingly, invited to send to the editor of the Evening Express their names and addresses, together with particulars of the kind of employment to which they are accustomed. The list thus published provides a ready means of reference for the use of employers and others who may be willing to aid in securing suitable places for. the men. We shall be glad if the men will, as soon a 3 they have obtained employment, advise us of the fact, so that their names may be removed from the list. Up to date the fol- lowing men have sent us the statements given below HENRY GEORGE HAMMETT (late 2nd Royal Berks), 37. Eisteddfod-stieet, Cardiff, says he was in the South African War, and has served eight years in the Royal Berks. He is .,t waiter by occupation, but could do bar work or go as grill cook or caretaker. He adds that he is not afraid of work, and is willing to be useful in anything. C. HUISH (late Royal Field Artillery), 71, Pearl-street, Roath, Cardiff, has been home from India five weeks, and is unable to get employment. Has been in artillery regi- ment for eight years and six months, and is well used to horses. Would take situa- tion as groom or haulier. Has eight years' good character from the Army, and five years' from his commanding officer. Total abstainer. Driver A. JONES, 5, Bradley-street, Eoath, Cardiff, has been a driver in the Royal Artillery, and has done eleven years and 84 days. Holds a good character from the Army. Has been out of work for five months, and is willing to do anything. Has won three prizes for cleanliness in the Army. MICHAEL O'DWYER Oate 1st Welsh), 18 Halket-street. Cardiff, has been home from South Africa twelve months, and is unable to get employment. He is 28 years of age, and has served ten years and 314 days in the Army. In his discharge his character is mentioned as "very good." O'Dwyer possesses several medals and clasps for active service, and now desires some light employment. FREDERICK STEVENS (late Somerset Light Infantry), 2, St. George's-row, East. brook, Dina's Powis, is an unemployed Reservist. His period of service extends over ten years, having served with his regiment in the Indian frontier and South African Wars. He has an exemplary character, and desires to take up any "handy job." IVOR GUNTER (late South Wales Bor- derers). 20, Mill-parade, Newport, Mon., writes that he would be very glad to get some constant work as a porter or ware- houseman. He has served two years with the Borderers in South Africa. J. MURRAY, 83, Llandaff-road, Canton, says he has been seven years and a half in the 19th Hussars, and for-two years and a half served in South Africa. He has earned OJ, good character. He has not been able to find constant employment. He is well used to horses. Murray adds that lie will do his utmost to give every satisfaction in any employment that can be found for him. H. T. THOMAS (2nd Royal Berks), 224, Mackintosh-place, Roath Park, Cardiff, writes:—"I have been fighting out in the Boer War for two years, and have been invalided home. Since I have been out of the Service I have repeatedly replied to advertisements, and regret I am still out of a situation. I have been in the Service ten years. My character is one of "Very good."

He was a shoeing smith in the Artillery, and was two years with them in South Africa. His character (he adds) is "Very good," total abstainer, and would take job as shoeing and general smith.
IBLOCK ON GREAT WESTERNI RAILWAY.
BLOCK ON GREAT WESTERN I RAILWAY. About lialf-past five last evening a serious block was caused on the Great Western Rail- way at Cefn, near Ruabon, through a wagon of coal jumping the rails. Traffic on both lines was stopped for a considerable time, and several London passenger trains were delayed. Shortly after a single line had been c-eared three coaches of the 6.50 down passen- ger train from Shrewsbury left the rails a Llangollen Junction, close to Cefn, and traffic was again completely suspended for another hour.

ENGLAND V. WALES.
ENGLAND V. WALES. I ■ —_i j Recollections of Past Encounters.. HARRY BOWEN IN GOSSIPING I MOOD. We pride ourselves in Wales on our football arrangements in international matches, but we have still a little to learn in this respect. What would be nicer than a smoking concert on the Friday evening before the international match, to which the two countries, officials and players, would be invited, together with the leading townsmen and sportsmen? This would mean that an opportunity would be provided of closer acquaintanceship with the players, and it would be heartily wel- oamed by many. A concert of this description was arranged at Leicester last year, and the fine gathering was a tribute to the foresight of Mr. Crombie, the smart hon. secretary of the Leicester Club. Before the players (retired for the night- and they left about 9.30-the respective cap- tains responded to the toasts of the respec- tive teams. Daniell was a shy starter, but a galloper at the end; while Magee was in Irish form. "He also," he said, "wished the better team to win, but he wanted that team to be Oireland." Gamlin, like many other men, changes his mind. It is not more than a year since he was positively certain that he would never play in a trial match again, in consequence of some grievance, or supposed grievance, against the English Union. But time heals many wounds, and Gamlin so far forgot his determination as to appear in the North v. South trial match this year. Well, 'tis best to forgive and forget. Taylor has been injured, crocked, influenzal, typhoided, and I don't know what altogether, according to newspaper reports from the North. If he hobbles on to the fieldi to-day on a pair of crutches, with a "better land" look on his face, no one will be sur- prised. But the chances are that Master Taylor will be all there in proper flesh sur- roundings, neither scaly nor contagious, but catching. The newe to hand that Spooner takes Bret- targh's place makes for sharper attack, though not so stout a defence. It was a "sore long time" before' England recognised the merits of the four three- quarter system. With her line in '83 she achieved such a splendid result against Wales at Swansea that the influence of that time seemed to have perfumed her nostrils. Evan- son, Bolton, and Wade, served by Toynham and Rotherham. were as nasty a lot to stop as you could wish for. They parsed, re-passed, and individualised. The Welsh backs were arranged in pairs like partners in a dance— two quarter-backs, two half-backs, two three- quarters, and two fall-backs. A case of quite too-too. One of the most loose-laced men that ever played for Wales, was W. B. Norton, of Car- marthen and Cardiff He was never certain of his shoes. On the only occasion that they did not come off by reason of bad laces they came off by reason of bad soles. Norton played against the three countries in 1883-84. He was a very tricky three-quarter, with plenty of pluck, but. as before mentioned, with often no sole to call his own. Blackheath folks cannot understand why Wales does not select Skrimshire. They Say Skrimmy is far and away their best three- quarter, and has won them many a. game. I may say that Skrimshire is admired in Wales, but his English habit seems to pre- vent his comobining in the Welsh style. In the said sad 1833 there was one to whom we all looked, and from whom we expected great things. That one was C. P. Lewis, of Llandovery. Some of the English team came from the North. While passing through Llan. dovery, where C. P. was one of the college masters, an old farmer informed them that C. F-. was going to play, and if he caught one of them he would squeeze him to a padding. The captain referred to this in the after- dinner speech, but, said he, the proof of the pudding is in the eating- G. T. M. I Engla.nd 2 4 0 Walee. 0 0 0 It's not good always to sing "For he was a far- mer's boy." In 1885 England included in her side young Hawcridge, of Bradford'. I travelled back with him to Yorkshire on the Sunday, and during the course of some conversation men- tioned the fact that Wales at one time looked like winning, although England had finished with 1 goal and 4 tries to 1 goal and 1 try. To this Hawcridge replied:—"Nay, lad! they canna' lake wi' us," which reads in the potato patch English of to-day, "Nay, lad! they cannot play with us." Hawcridge was one of the loveliest" dodgers imaginable. Many players dodge by help of the heel dug deeply into the ground. At other times they run on the toes. Hawcridge didn't need any extra heel work for dodging, for he ran on his heels. He was undoubtedly the most ungetatable dodger I ever saw play- ing. In the North the cry of "Joe's got it" generally meant a try. Then the tripe man came round. Sammy Woods did much in '95 to win the English match at Swansea, by the way he got on to the halves. Our halves to-day are made of stouter stuff, and know how to deal with the folks that hang around. I hardly think there is one of the kiud on the English side to-day. England has not produced many scrum wingers. Sammy was the best, and hailed from Zummerzet. From 1880 to 1887 there was the same mono- tonous monotony about the reading of the results in our matches against England. England won! England won! and so on. and likewise until the very marrow in our bones began to water. Then came 1837 and good old soepanic Llanelly. After five intern aortal victories. Wales cried. "Hold! It's about Time we did something." We did that something. We drew the match. It looks as though Wales is about to equal this record, for if she wins at Swansea it will make her fifth successive victory. It only wants weather. Thoae used to it and in prac- tice might send up a request to the weather god, old Jupiter Pluvius. Pearson's last international match was against Ireland in 1898. Being the oldest inter- national player, he is appointed captain. No one can gainsay the fact that he is worthy of his place, but it is open to discussion as to whether the wisest course for the future has been adopted. Tommy Pearson has not the trace of side. Football popularity has not spoiled him in the least. Sidey players, once on the wane, feel the rough edge of the public tongue, but the decent chap" is always liked and spoken well of. We all expect Gabe to pop over to-day. Being an old scholar of mine, I should be particularly pleased to see him do justice to himself. Here is another sample of a player who keeps a cool head while good words are going round. Place Nicholls, Pearson, and Gabe together, and you would have to send a. man to start the talking. Brice is two stripes heavier this year than last. He ought to be able to run 'em in all the smarter. All Aberavon will be at Swansea. If the absence of one man more than another would casCa gloom over the crowd it would be that of R. M. Owens, Esq., the bóy tha.t skirts the scrums. A bioscope view taken of the last international match in Ireland was all Dicky Owens. He seemed to be in every- body's way, though nobody was in his. Last season England v. Wales match a-t Blackheath saw Strand Jones in wonderful form. The run in that easy-going stride of his which ultimately ended in a score opened the eyes of the English Union officials, who remarked at the end of the game. "Why Wales are playing a three-quarter at back." We hope Jones will be as successful to-day. No man will be more anxious as to the result than Bancroft. You often find the coolest players on the field the most nervous on the touch-line. Take, for instance. Arthur Gould. We all know what he has done on the field. To praise him is needless, but he was remarkable for one thing, and that was keep- ing a. cool head. But notice him on the touch- line! He is just like a. cat on hot bricks. And he knows it. for he begs you thus. Stop me making an ass of myself."

ASSOCIATION CODE.
ASSOCIATION CODE. Clubs' Arrangement of Fixture Lists. I EMPLOYMENT OF REGISTERED I REFEREES. I Speaking to one or two club men last week, the question of Mr. Axtell's circular letter to the South Wales clubs cropped up, and I was surprised that some admitted that they had not thought it of much importance. This I will grant is true, when it is expressed by members of the leading organisations, for the circular contains nothing but what they are acquainted with. But it is not only a matter which affects professional clubs, for in it are points which every club, amateur or other- wise, big or little, must at once attend to. Amongst these points are two about which I will say a few words-the affiliation matter and that of referees. At the annual meeting in September last the former was discussed, and now the penalty of suspension is liable to be imposed upon the Association rule being broken. The great majority of clubs have adapted their fixture lists to meet the order, but a casual glance at the fixtures in last night's "Express" showed that at least one club is defying the "instruction." Without giving away any secrets, I can safely say that the committee is absolutely determined to stop this practice, and every club secretary will be well advised to compare his lists with that sent out by the secretary of the Associa- tion. There can be no plea of ignorance now. We have been a bit slow in South Wales in the referee registration, a.nd. recognising this, the association, six months ago, in adopting the rule that none but registered officials should officiate between affiliated clubs. gave the various clubs until January 1, 1903, before the order would come into operation. This date is now gone by, and the different secretaries, ,in these days of cheap calendars, do not wish me to labour that item any further. I know the objection they, or some of them, raise. But whose fault is it that the registration list is not a longer one? Surely every club has one or two non-playing members or followers who could easily qualify. It is utter nonsense to deny this. For what about all those gentlemen who have been conducting the friendly games in the past? They are about. They cannot all have retired. It is also beside the point for clubs to say that they cannot afford to pay the fees of referees in friendly games. So far as I know, it is not the practice of referees who officiate in friendly games, where no gate, pr one of only a few shillings is taken, to take a fee. The only matches in the district in which a fee is specially provided for are those in the cup competitions or in South Wales league matches. This objection would be also trivial if, as I have said above, each club would persuade some of its own followers to face the examining board of the association. The examination is, I will admit, a searching one, but should have no terrors to those who keep well abreast of the game. In his notes last Saturday my worthy friend "Spokes" hinted that I might say something about the clashing of titles adopted by clubs under the two codes. I have bad the same thing pigeon-holed for some time myself, but for some reason or other I have not yet thrown it in the way of Mr. Printer. I agree entirely with "Spokes" as to the inconvenience which is caused, and for the present can only strongly support his suggestion that the letter A or R should be included in the title. Look- ing at the lists in a haphazard manner, two instances of the clashing are promptly spotted in "Canton" and "Roath." Perhaps these clubs, and any others who are named as referred to, will take the hint. Speaking without my book, I believe I am correct in saying that the English Association and the Rugby Union stipulate that no club shall be affiliated to either body under a title which is already owned by a club under the sister code. This may explain, why the leading Bristol Association clubs affix "City" or "Rovers" to "Bristol." Again, the Rugby club at the city of Peeping Tom is called "Coventry," and the Association club is "Coventry City." In junior circles this ques- tion of titles has not been so prominent until lately, and with the use of the A or R we ought to get on all right for this season, after this notice. Perhaps a conference between the Cardiff District League (Association) and the District Union (Rugby) could be arranged to have a little friendly discussion on the matter. But I must let this stand over for the present. I will return to it later on in the season. The annual dance of the Cardiff Association club las.t Wednesday was an extremely suc- cessful affair, and the next is already being inquired about. All thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Considering the short time at their disposal, Messrs. Hobbs. Swain, and Besant worked wonders in their endeavours to ensure the oomfort of the visitors, and they have the satisfaction of knowing that their labours were appreciated. The work of the ladies is not forgotten, but not being a ladies' man, I am leaving that part of the performance to those who have experience in that direction. The scratching of Aberystwyth last Satur- day meant another loss in "gate" to Aber- dare, who have been singularly unfortunate this season in cup matches. Possibly Aber- ystwith fancied that their expenses would not be met, but in this, if this was their reason, I hold a different opinion. The gate would have been sufficient to have given both clubs a handsome sum. It only goes to bear out what I said a week ago, that exemption in this district is of no benefit to any one club. On this aspect of the case I propose to test the feeling of the district at the next, annual meeting by moving as an amendment to the rules—"That the winners of the cap be given the option of exemption." or words to that effect. Anyhow, I would let the club con- cerned have the deciding as to whether they shall play or be exempted. I am not saying this in the interest of Aberdare. but this club's experience in the South Wales Cup this year and in the Welsh Cup last year simply goes to illustrate the opinion I have long held on the matter of "exemption." KERNELS. Port Talbot entertain Rogerstone to-day. The international at Swansea may spoil this interesting fixture. Tom Parry was in great form at Caerphilly. He scored two goals from half-way. Thompson also in scoring humour. Thompson, of Caerphilly, I mean. Mr. Hart is getting well known. He is in great demand in district league matches. Hafod goal-keeper brought off two mar- vellous saves. Ground was in a, wretched state. But Harding kicked with rare judgment. He is an old Stacey-road boy. Was captain of their champion team. Many noted footballers amongst the spec- tators. The famous John Reynolds for one. The two centre halves—best men on the field. Phillips, of Pontlottyn, and Williams, of Llanbradach. Who says Wathen cannot dance? Stamps must be enclosed with the answer. Cyril Higgins scored a pretty goal. Barry District v. Singletons to-day. Junior cup ties next week. There are four very fine games. Milford. Llanbradach, Albions, Abergavenny. The last line was to test my prophetic powers. May look in at Llanbradach. Porth short-handed at Aberaman. BUJt, they did well. Treharris v. Cardiff will be an even game.

A GLOUCESTER SENSATION.
A GLOUCESTER SENSATION. Unfounded Allegations of I Poisoning. An adjourned inquiry waa held yesterday by the Divisional Coroner (Mr. J. Waghorne) at the County Asylum, Wotton, Gloucester, into the circumstances attending the death of Annie Louisa Joones, 28, a single woman, who was taken to the institution on the 20th of December and died two days after. A post- mortem was made, and Dr. Craddook came to the conclusion that death was due to ex- haustion, caused by mania. Just 'before the holding of the inquest on the first, occasion, however, he received an anonymous letter from, Painswick, where deceased had lived, suggesting that she had been poisoned. The inquest was, therefore, adjourned in order that the contents of the stomach mig1}t be analysed. The evidence called yesterday showed that for the last six years the deceased had lived with an uncle at Painswick as his housekeeper. In April last the uncle sent her to his sister's at Merston, near Redhill, and here in June she gave birth to a, child, which died. The following August she returned to Painswick, where her father and mother reside at the Royal Oak, and again took up her position in her uncle's house. All went as usual til lone Saturday in November, when she found her uncle in conwany with a girl. This upset her terribly, and atpparently upset her reason. She was removed to her parents' house and placed under the care of a. doctor and nurse, and eventually was taken to the asylum. Her mother eadd she knew of the intimacy between her daughter and the uncle, but kept the knowledge from her husband. The county analyst made an analysis of the stomach, and certified thait there was no trace of poison, and the medical testimony showed that death was due to exhaustion, caused by mania, and a verdict wae returned to this effect. The Coroner said the writer of the anonymous letter had not come forward; but he did not think anyone would, regret that full inquiry had been made..

IA GRAVE BLUNDER.
I A GRAVE BLUNDER. Innocent Man Mistaken for an Escaped Convict. At Manchester County Police court on Friday, after evidence had been given that Frederick Meakin, who had been arrested on suspicion of being the convict Lynchehaun, bore no resemblance to that person, Mr. Chap- man, Meakin's solicitor, asked to be allowed to say a few words. It was now admitted, he said, that a very grave publio injustice had been committed in this case. If the persons conducting investigations had made the slightest inquiry into the career of his client they would have found immediately that he was not the notorious convict they were seek- ing. Mr. Chapman explained that Meakin was an ex-Grenadier Guardsman, and an ex- policeman at the West India Docks, London. As a Reservist he fought in several engage- ments in South Africa, and received his dis- charge from the Army in July last. The fol- lowing month he secured employment at the Westinghouse Works, Manchester. This was on August 23, and according to evidence Lynchehaun, the convict, did not escape from prison in Ireland till September 6 following. Undoubtedly a grave blunder had been com- mitted, because if application had been made to the Westinghouse Company they would have given information that Meakin was employed there on August 23. Mr. Chapman said he had other evidence to that fact, and repeated that a very cruel injustice had been done to Meakin.—Mr. Yates. the magistrate, said no one regretted more than he that such a case of mistaken identity had arisen. Addressing Meakin, the magistrate said the police, of course, had no option but to arrest him when he was identified, or supposed to be identified. They heard on Thursday that he was not put in a cell, but allowed to go about in the yard of the police-station. At the oame time, a p the same time, a great hardship had been inflicted on him. He would leave the court without a stain on his character, and they could only regret that he should have ever been brought to court, especially as he had dune his duty to his country in the field.- Meakin (who seemed distressed): I am not compensated for it with being set at large.— The Magistrate: All that remains is to dis- charge you.—Meakin was then discharged.
; A RESERVIST'S HARD LINES
A RESERVIST'S HARD LINES Here is the story of a Reservist's hard case, which is by no means exceptional. He served in South Africa from the beginning of the war till invalided home in Jury, 1902. When applying to the Church Army the other day for assistance, he owed ten weeks' rent, and had 22 pawntickets. Nearly all his belong- ing had been sold, including his much-prized Queen's chocolate box. Hia wife has been ill for months, and their delicate child adds to the expense. Money is still to come from the War Office.

SOUSA COMING TO CARDIFFI
SOUSA COMING TO CARDIFF Sousa, the American "March King," has returned to Great Britain for a second conc.ert tour with his great band, which created such a popular furore a year ago. This band ofo 60 performers excels not only in the rendition of high-class music, but possesses as well the ability to render the stirring music of the conductor-composer and other characteristic American melodies with peculiar dash and spirit. IJousa brings two new soloists with him this year in the persons of Miss Estelle Lieb- ling, a brilliant young coloratura soprano, and Mr. Arthur Pry or, the remarkable trom- bonist, who rejoices in the distinction of being the highest pp-id bandsman in the world, and who is retained as Mr. Sousa's chief assistant. The Sousa Band will be heard here on Thurs- day next at the Park-hall, Cardiff. Mr. Sousa will play a number of his new compositions, notably the march "Imperial Edward." which was written for and dedicated by special per- mission to his Majesty the King.

ISPORT OF THE DAY
SPORT OF THE DAY The personalty of the late Mr. B. H. Try is likely to be sworn at a very nominal sum in- deed. B. Marsh, the Egerton House trainer, who haa had an attack of bronchitis, is getting better slowly. The sudden alteration all round in horses' ages is confusing even to owners and trainers themselves, who are still making mistakes in entries. The receipts at Plumpton yesterday fur- nished a. record, the takings being greatly in excess of any previous meeting at this enclo- sure. No fewer than eight French-bred horses— probably nine, for Count de Bressons has a sealed nomination—are included in the entry for the Ascot Gold Cup. Mr. Lorilla-rd, the well-known American owner of racehorses, was amongst the pas- sengers who arrived at Liverpool from New York by the Celtic on Thursday. Tcmplemore, Miniature, Leydon, and Clo- rinda have left P. P. Gilpin's establishment, at Newmarket, for Haesall's stables atgtan- ton, where they will be trained for their future engagements.
