FOR WOMEN FOLK l HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY I DISHES. No one ever repented of having held his tongue. A husband is only a man, and must have allowance made for his failings accordingly. Properly expended, a few pence will prove more useful than the same number of pounds wasted. Mirrors mady be rendered brilliant and spot- lew by rubbing them with tissue paper vigo- rously for a moment or two. To remove dark stains from ehina, use a. little soap and brickduet on the article to be cleaned, and rub with your fingers. To prevent milk burning and sticking to the bottom, always rinse the saucepan out with cold water just before putting the milk into it. Egg Toast I Beat a.n egg, and add a pinch of salt. Take I slices of bread and dip in egg-both sides. Put two ounces of butter in a frying- pan, and when very hot place slioes in, and fry a golden brown on both sides. Serve hot. Potato Dish. I Guocchi of Potatoes" will be found a I useful dish. Boil ten potatoes and use with two eggs for a large quantity, and for a smaller plat dve potatoes and one egg. Mash the potatoes with salt, and beat up the eggs with them in a basin till there is a good dough. Boll the mixture out with a little flour on a board, and cut into small pieces. Throw these into boiling water, and when the pieceø rise to the top they are done. Let the water boil again before putting in the next batch. Grate cheese over them, and serve with either gravy or tomato sauce.— "The Lady." Court-Plasters for Wrinkles. I There is verily nothing new under the sun. Particularly is there apparently nothing new in the hard light against wrinkles which the -woman of to-day, yesterday, and for ever ngages in. Many society women insist that the oourt- plaster treatment is most effective in this direction. 80 try the revived method of stealing a march on Time and facial gymnastics. Ordinary silk court-plaster will do perfectly well for the purpose. Cut it in strips, or any form that holds the skin most firmly. Then smooth the wrinkle out with the fingers. Moisten the plaster, and srtretch it so it will hold the skin taut. The old-faahioned method waa to attach silk threads to the ends of the V court-placter strips and tie the threads at the back of the head. Put the strips on at night. after bathing the face, and remove with warm water the following morning. You will be astonished what a difference this easy treatment will make in the course of a few weeks. Times for Wearing Black I At some time or other in the course of 1 our lives we find ourselves in need of black cloth, and the question then presents itself whether crape should be adopted, and for how long it should be worn. For one's immediate family the term of mourning and its garb is fixed by custom; but relations, however near, may be guided much by their feelings and dispositions. A widow, of course, wears the deepest mourning. Her gown is made of crape or crape cloth, trimmed with crape; her bonnet, outlined with a tiny ruche, is finished at the back with a deep veil. This costume is worn for a year. During the following six months the quantity of crape worn is lessened, and for the next six months blach. is worn with- out the crape trimming. It is then customary to wear half mourning for six months before colours are put on. A parent wears crape for a child for eight or nine months, diminishing the amount after the third or fourth month. Black is worn for the remainder of the year, and then follows a period of six months in half- mourning. A daughter wears crape for three months, black for six months more, and half mourn- ing for the remainder of the year. A sister wears crape for three months, black for another three months, and half- mourning for the following six months. Half-mourning allows a great deal of licence. Black, white, grey, and mauve are allowable, and the variety of their combina- tions is also unlimited, black and white being, perhaps, the smartest combination. For men the wearing of mourning-crape especially—is almost impossible. A black band on the sleeve of one's overcoat is fre- quently the only outward evidence of loss. The widower, however, wears a deep black hatband and black clothes for an indefinite period. Crape has been coming into fashion again ")f late; but people do net now overload themselves with this material, as in former times. As a trimming crape is really very effective; but it catches the dust more easliy than any other staff. a There Is no real economy in buying very cheap crape. In the end the best maaterial is the oheapeet.

COLLEGE DERBY DAY* 1 BRECON AND LLANDOVERY IN THE SCRUM. Harry Bowen Discusses the Work I of the Teams. I "Play up, school! Play up, sch-oo-oo-1! Play up, schoo-oo-oo-oo-1!" I The Llandovery football war cry in full I song. ¡ "Play up, college! Play up, coll-e-g-e! Play up, coll-e-g-e The Brecon football ditto in full chorus. Both cries replete with encouragement, the long-drawn-out incentives to football deeds of "derring-do." I No snatch war song this. No! No! This has come down from generation to generation. There are grandfathers-aye, and grand- mothers, in this cry—aye, and great grand- fathers and great-grandmothers. No doubt about this. They shouted it when the world had youth's promise for them, and every year as the years roll by they re-occupy the old places to sirout it again. First as scholars, and as scholars' sisters, later as fathers or as fathers' wives, last as grand or great grand fathers, or their help- meets in life's little journey. Look round the ropes. There they are— to-oay as on similar days for years gone by. "What!" you say, "that stately-looking vicar with the waist-measurement betokening the goodwill to all and hearty contentment within! Was he ever a football boy, wear- ing very small men's jerseys and slender knickerettes, and number fives in boots?" Yes, yes, my friends, he was ever thus. It requires great faith to believe, and greater faith if the eyes are kept steadfastly upon the happy dimensions. But it is all true, happily true, he was once a football boy. And the funny thing is, that he cainnot forget it, do what he will. He thinks every year will be his last, but he never misses the next in order. He nurses himself up with the opinion that he goes because of "the boys, you know," but it's all rubbish. The mild truth is that he goes because he can't help it. It is in his blood. As the day approaches he mentions less and less the inaccommodat- ing ailments that made many an appointment impossible to keep! No ailment will keep him from this. That touch of rheumatism, that streak of the gout, that wheeze of the lung sponge are all for- gotten. It is the Brecon-Llandovery day, and go he must. If worldly preferment betokens it improper for him to shout, at least he may go to clap. If extra eminence makes the clap impossible, surely he may be tfiere to nod. And shout, clap, or nod he does. And he does it well. Austere professors forget their austerity. Rules and routine are thrown to the wind. Does a boy wear a, straw when he ought to be wearing his cap on this day of all days, he is severely reprimanded by the forgetfulness of the master to take note of the offence. Has he been breaking bounds? This is the period of light punishment. Seats are quite forgotten. It was quite a pleasure to see the same faces round the ropes. There was the Llan- dovery school warden, the very embodiment of perfect health and hearty good nature; there was C. P. Lewis, let me see, yes, it was in 1882 that C. P. played joint full back with truly yours against England at Swansea, when the giants Rotherharu, Wade, and Evanson were the hot cakes in the football world. Yes, there he was, with wrinkles formed by laugh- ter, and with hardly a trace of Time's finger- marks. There, too, was Newton, he of the quiet ways and definite action. Also Mr. Seymour, of Pontyberem. chairman of the Llanelly Rural Council, strong and stalwart in all senses of the terms, physically and morally. Be was up to see that his sixth boy did his duty in the scrum. Ho had supplied five other strap- ping lads to do battle for the school in their turns, and now again was anxioue about the sixth. There, too, was Mr. Lattimer, oollected, but truly flnxions, and on the Brecon touch-line, in full and undisputed possession, was the Rev. P. R. Bartlett, keen, decisive, and, at least, not forgetful. What an enthusiasm is his! How' he did encourage his lads The lads themselves showed their business intentions by the grim way in which they decided to play forty minutes each way. Less would not do. Arrayed in amber and gold, the Brecon boys were easily first for the prettiest costume. Llandovery School sported the pure and spotless. The teams were :-Brecon: Back, T. C. Lewis; three-quarter backs, E. W. A. Thomas (captain), J. P. Jones, L. Dyke, and G. Llewellyn; half-backs, J. L. Rogers and U. E. Caldicntt; forwards. S. J. Marriott, F. D. G. Harries, T. D. W. Williams, J. Powell, J. R. R. Beynon, M. Williams, W. M. Llewellen, and H. J. Morgan. Llandovery: Back, E. R. Evans; three-quarter backe, W. Pugh, D. G. Davies, D. G. Williams, and J. L. Morgan; half-backs, Hugh Morris (captain) and U. J. Protheroe; forwards, G. C. Seymour, B. A. Hughes, A. Davies, H. G. Thomas, K. Halden, D- H. Parry, C. P. Morgan, and T. Elias. A strange feature in connection with the Llandovery team was that several of the team were Soccer players who had never played the Rugby game before entering Llan- dovery School. THE GAME. Llandovery started with the wind in their favour, and play ruled very even for the first fifteen minutes. Smart attacking move- ments by the home side were met by equally smart tackling by the Brecon Boys. Morris, the home captain, very early showed that he was to be a big factor in attack and defence. At first, though, be fell into the fault of hold- ing the ball too long. In this early period, too, some nice passing movements were shown by the Brecon backs. Caldicott, Thomas, and Llewellyn were really smart in their transfers. What was apparent after this first period passed by was th-at the home for- wards were the stronger. They kept up a series of short, dashing runs, every thrust a progress. It wasr only the work of the Brecon three-quarters that regained for the ambers and gold the ground continually made by these determined onslaughts. Llewellyn— Willie Llewellyn's little brother-was called on to bring Maater Pugh-a most determined Llandovery youngster—down on three occa- sions. Eut, finally, Pugh got over in the corner after pretty, though orthodox, passing, and first blood was drawn. This was further augmented by a try by Williams. This was from passing by Protheroe and Morris. The latter, when pressed, passed to Williams. This player shook himself free from a half-hearted tackle, and went for the line, scoring in a good position. Half-time score. G. T, M, Llandovery 110 Brecon 0 0 0 The re-start gavo promise of a rally by I Brecon. They went off with a bang, and kept up a fairly long period of attack. Having failed to take advantage of the strong wind in the first half, it was not expected that they would do much against it, but here they were, pegging at it in right good style. The effort did not last, however, for the home forwards again found their feet, and, governing the ball, set their backs in motion. Morris and Pugh, and then Morris and Protheroe, led to the third try being scored. From this time forward the issue was never n doubt. But the Brecon lads never lost heart. They kept their stronger opponents out splendidly until within five minutes of the end, when two more tries—the first by Protheroe and the second by Halden—were

I ANÆMIA AND ULCERATED STOMACH I DR. SLATER'S TABLETS AT LLANTWTT MAJOR. Llantwit Major is an historical and olu- fashioned place, with a reputation more in the past than the present, though the re- markable recovery of the oldest daughter of Mrs. Thomas, of Colburgh-etreet, from a state of complete collapse, caused by anaemia and ulcerated stomach, has given it great puD- licity of late. Dr. Slater's Blood Making Tablets were the means of effecting this notable cure, and the plain, unvarnished, and grateful story told by Mrs. Thomas to the "Barry Dock News" reporter is of more than passing interest. Said she :Over two years ago Florrie had to be treated for ulcerated stomach, and the weakening effects of that ailment had left their mark upon her. At any rate, at the time which I am speaking about she appeared to suddenly lose all desire for her food, and grew languid and weary until anybody could tell she was out of sorts. Food for which she hitherto showed so much relish now went untouched, and she frequently complained of distressing pains in the body. Her head ached, and the old rosy colour faded from her cheeks, which looked sunken and wan. We were at a loss what to get for her; she was so weak and languid. Her condition was beginning to cause us serious alarm when a grocer's traveller from Barry called and advised us to get a box of Dr. Slater's B.M. Tablets. I procured some, and after the first few doses the child was rather better; commenced to look forward to her meals; and enjoy food which she had rejected, before. She gained in strength, ap- peared to get more active and more able to do housework with comfort; and it was a real pleasure to me to see how well she framed. I can honestly say now, that, thanks entirely to Dr. Slater's Blood Tablets, Florrie is now as well and rosy-cheeked and as lively ag we could want her to be." Dr. Slater's B.M. Tablets change the weak, watery blood into fluid of a rich red, life- giving nature, and for loss of appetitie, pains about the hips, antemia, ladies' ailments, neuralgia, headache, heartweaknees, colds, influensa, lack of vital force, rheumatism, gout, sciatica, lumbago, palpitation, short- ness of breath, paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance, spinal weakness, nervous and general debility, and as a preventive of influenza, they are of unequalled excellence.

e9581 I CRiCKET, em I Yorkshire County Club. The annual meeting of the Yorkshire County Club was held on Friday.—Lord Hawke, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, dealt with the work of the team. who lost five matches-four of that number between the 1st of May and June 29. During that time the team was handicapped through several players being disabled. One of the greatest matches they played was wh?n they beat thø champion county. There was no doubt that the fielding was not the fielding of the old champion team, but they "ould try and mend matters next year. The work of the second eleven had been even worse than the first, and had cost about £ 520. They would have some new matches next season. including Oxford University, the South Africans, and the West Indians. There had been an increase of JE41 in the subscrip- tion list, and the new members numbered 500. but a large number had retired. He appealed for larger subscriptions, because the dme would come when they would have to get a ground of their own for training voting players. With regard to Tn^nichffe s benefit, he would receive about Ll.600.-Lord Hawke was re-elected president.—The altera- tions in the rules were then dealt with.

H. Bacon), who had obtained a large number of new members, and bad controlled the catering department, so as to show a substantial profit. The expenditure^ however, showed an increase of £ 551. The suggestion that members' subscriptions should ne increased was not entertained. A suggestion that 50 gentlemen should contri- bute £10 each towards reducing the debt due to the County Ground Company was adopted. It was also decided that the committee should consider the Question of establishing life memberships. It was stated that the county match programme for next season would be the same as the last, with the exception that home and away matches had been renewed with Yorkshire, Essex dropping out.—Mr. Nicholson was re-elected president, and Mr. E. M. Sprot, captain, whilst the Lord Chief Justice was added to the list of vice-presi- dents.

BILLIARDS-Xill. THE STROKES OF THE GAME. When playing an in-off from a ball that is in batilk, a player must be careful that he does not,lea.ve the ball still in baulk if it is possible to avoid do'ng this. Of course, many positions may occur when if not absolutely impossible to bring the ball out of baulk it would be so terribly difficult to do so that no player, not even a professional, would attempt it. On the other hand, nevertheless, positions occur when it is as easy, or nearly as easy, to bring the ball out or baulk as to leave it in. Diagram 31 shows a position when no half ball stroke is on. A fine stroke (unless played very strongly indeed) will leave the objec-t ball in baulk, whereas a run- through stroke (any stroke that is fuller than a half ball stroke being a run-through, even though the degree of run-through may be very slight) -will bring it out. Generally speaking, whenever a ball in baulk is so situated that the in-off is only on by means of a fine stroke or a. run-through (the object ball being ao located that it will strike the bottom cushion in DIAGRAM 31. A run-through in-off instead of a fine in-off. either case) the pocket should bo gained by means of a full stroke. In the diagram the fine intersected line shows the direction the object ball may take as the result of a thin contact, and the thick intersected line the path resultant from a foolish contact. Diagram 32 shows an in-off, the cue ball being in three different positions. Owing to the cue ball being pretty close to the object white and the white also being near the pocket, the in-off can be got from A by means of a less than half ball stroke, a half ball stroke or a fuller than half bail stroke, but though the pocket may be found each time the object b&U naturally takw a i1f¿=d c:Ce ;h O:ti of :nsi;kk: different paths are illustrated in the diagram. If hft very full it would remain in baulk. From B the stroke must be played less full than from A and from C less DIAGRAM 32. 1 Bringing the ball cut of baulk playing from I different positions. full than fram,B. The object ball must always bo hit in luch a mannsr as will cause it to strike the side ousliion at an angle that will allow it to go out of baulk. The finer the stroke the faster should it be played, otherwise the object ball will not travel far enough to go out of baulk, even though its direction be correct. It will be very good practice to try in-offs from balls m baulk In all sorts of positions always, of course, attempt- ing to bring the object ball ont of baulk. Diagram 33 is an example of positions that often occur when the in-off can only be got by means of a screw shot. In these cases it will sometimes happen that DIAGRAM 33. 1 Bringing a ball out of baulk by meana of a I thin screw. I though the easiest way of making the shot is by means of a half-ball screw, this method of playing the stroke would leave the object ball in baulk. Instead, by hit- ting the object ball lees than half-ball and playing witl: increased scr^w (a& compensation for the thinner hit- ting) it can often be brought out of baulk, and though this is by no means an easy stroke it is one that is well worthy of notice. The thick intersected line in the diagram shows a direction the object ball may take as the result of thick contact, and the fine inter- sected line a. direction given by a thinner contact. In concluding this article on bringing a ball out baulk, it may be pointed out that in playing to bring a ball out of baulk (whether the red or the white) there is no need to try and see how far out of baulk it is possible to send the ball as so many players do. Some- times, of cou.-sc, it may be the game to bring the ball only a very little way out of baulk, but as a rule it will generally be beet to send it towards the centre of the table, for by eo doing, an in-off into one of the four out of baulk pockets is almost certain to be left, also most likely a cannon, if the other object ball happens to be located near the top of the table either on the right or left side.

REMARKABLE STORY I WOMAN WRECKS A HOUSE FOR FIREWOOD. Before the Scarborough magistrates yester- day Annie Postill, married, was charged with damaging a dwelling-house in Bumple-street. —Mr. George Kidd, house agent, said the house had been uninhabited, but one day he found Mrs. Poetill had taken possession. She implored him to let her stay, and he did. A week later when he called he was amazed to find that she had torn all the floor up, with the exception of a portion on which was her bed, and had used it for firewood, Remon- strances were in vain, and a week later he found that she had been using the skirting boards as kindling wood. When a policeman was called in she told him she was making a garden in the kitchen, and intended bring- ing some vegetables to show the magistrates. Mr. Kidd implored the court to get her out, or the whole house would be gone.—She was ordered to pay L3 or undergo a month's imprisonment.

A DIVORCE SUIT FAILS. Co-respondent Cited Against Whom There is No Evidence, Mr. Hugh Grosvenor Taunton, solicitor, of Maida-vale, London, yesterday, trued for divorce, coupling with the name. of his wife, Alice Taunton, that of a Mr. O'Connor. Married in August, 1896, at Northwood, Middlesex, Mr. and Mrs. Taunton 1,ie happily at Penzance, Dulwich, and Hal'Jllilây' till May, 1897. Then the lady disappeared with a man named Grant. Mr. Taunton filed a peti- tion, but withdrew it on his wife expressing her sorrow and explaining that Grant had left the country. Petitioner rented a cottage for his wife at Rickmansworth, allowed her £ 2 10s. a week, and told her that if she would live a respectable life for six months he would perhaps take her back. In July, 1898, he heard (said counsel) that she had met the co-respon- dent in Regent-street and had gone to a hotel with him. Mr. Justice Barnes found there was no evi- dence against co-respondent, and dismissed the case against him with costs. His lordship gave leave for the petition to be amended and re-served.

CANADIAN CLAIM AGAINST RUSSIA The Russian Government has consented to become a party to an investigation to be held in London to examine into the claims of Canada, for damages for the seizure of Canadian sealing vessels and the ill-treat- ment of their crews by Russian patrol vessels. The seizures occurred in 1892, and ever since then Canada has been pressing for a settlement. The RUEsian Government held a settlement. The Ru-. an ex parte enquiry some time ago, which justified to the Russian official mind all but two of the seizures. Russia offered to com- pensate Canada for these two cases, but the Dominion steadfastly declined to consider the matter in this way, and demanded that there should be a general compensation for all the seizures.

I LYCEUM THEATRE COMPANY TO BE I WOUND UP I An extraordinary meeting of the share- holders of the Lyceum Theatre (Limited), London, was held yesterday at Winchester House.—The Chairman (Mr. Charles Eves) moved that the company be wound up volun- tarily, with a, view to reconstruction, and eventually, as a result of a poll, this was declared carried.-Several persons present expressed dissatisfaction with the way in which the shares in the new company were to be dealt with under the scheme proposed.

SPORT OF THE DAY I O'Donovan Rossa is to be put over hurdles this winter. The assumed name of "Mr, Theobalds" has been registered for 1903 in accordance with the Rules of Racing. Lord Durham is putting Samarai, and probably also King's Limner, to jumping this winter, under Captain Dewhuivt's charge. The three-year-olds. Pan Michael, Uncle Reggie, and White Webbs, have been leased by Mr. W. F. de Wend Fenton from Mr. Theobalds." They had previously been leased by Mr. W. C. Whitney. Miss Georgie, the dam of Lord Roasmore and Cherry Pip, was purchased by her present owner, Mr. J. Grew, with the object of being put into a. bread-van. She was luckily saved from this fate, and may be regarded as a useful matron. There is a persistent rumour current in Newmarket that the Duke of Roxburghe, who recently married the American heiress, Miss Goelet, is negotiating for the purchase of large local training quarters, and intends to join the rank of owners. Colonel H. T. Fenwick has given the name of Felo-de-se to his brown colt (2yrs) by Despair—Iras. The two-year-old filly by Veracity—Fruit has been given the name of Pompelmons, and for the future Jacob Pincus's four-year-old gelding by Despair- Light of the Harem will be known as Harama. I Some brood mares belonging to the late Sir J. Blundell Maple will be sold, as arranged, in Paria on Monday. The horses in training are to be disposed of at Newmarket in the Craven week, and the mares and foals will be offered for sale during one of the July meetings at headquarters. F. Hunter, who fc!l over the rails with Kate Angelo at Warwick, went on to Man- chester on Wednesday night, though it was a. matter of much difficulty for him to get about, his bruised knee being very stiff. An examination by a surgeon resulted in the lad being told that he would be unable to ride this week-end, much to the youngster's dis- appointment. Mr. R. H. Henning, the well-know-n race- horse owner, recently looked over the Heath House training establishment at Newmarket, afterwards expressing the intention of rent- ing it from Mr. W. C. Whitney, who holds the lease, providing, the Jockey Club grant a trainer's licence. The turf authorities have given this permission to J. E. Brewer, who is, therefore, shortly expected at the little town with the horses at present under the charge of Mr. Peebles. Brewer trained The Grafter when he won the City and Suburban and other races.

BRECON GOLF CLUB. The members of the Brecon Golf Club held a very successful smoking concert at the Caetle Hotel on Thursday evening, when the prizes won in the recent tournament were distri- buted to the successful oompetitors.Captain D.

Glamorgan Club. The eighth annual dance in connection with the Glamorgan Golf Club was held on Friday night at the Andrews-hall, Penarth. The room was tastefully decorated by Messrs.

THE TIBET EXPEDITION I The rumour from Darjeeling that the British troops occupied the Chumbi Valley in Tibet last Monday is not credited, as it is believed that no move will be made before January, when Lord Curzon and Lord Kitchener will reach Calcutta. Seven thou- sand followers and bearers have been col- lected in the Tee?ta Valley, as well as a thousand head of cattle and an enormous store of provisions. Lord Kitchener has re- fused to allow any war correspondents to accompany the force, but it is believed that this embargo will be removed en the de- finite advance is made into Tibetan terri- tory.

j FARM FIRE AT RUMNEY I A fire occurred this morning at Mr. Twber- ville's Great House farm, Rumney. Thf tender and three firemen from the Central Plre Station, Cardiff, were sent out, and brouch their efforts the fire was got under. A por- tion of the farm buildings were destroyed. however, and three cows had narrow escapee of being burned to death. The fire was mainly, confined to a cow shed. There was a plentiful supply of water. The firemen had to concentrate their energies in preventing the blaze spreading to the outer buildings, which contained a Quantity of hay and cora. and also to eleven ricks of hay close by. The damage is estimated at £70. j

added. The latter was converted, the final score being:- G. T. M. Llandovery 2 3 0 Brecon 0 0 0 The Players The defeat is, undoubtedly, due to the stronger forward and half-back work of the Llandovery side. In Seymour, Halden, and Davies they possess three forwards who are gluttons for work. Again, the half-back Morris was much too good for the opposing halves. He would hold his own in a first-class team. His partner. too, was very serviceable as inside half. Of the home three-quarters, Pugh took a lot of stopping, being in a fearful hurry to reach the line, and quite regardless of inter- ruptions. The other three were capable exponents. E. B. Evans, the full-back, was the surprise of the day. He kicked, ran, and tackled in the best style, and did it all with- out the slightest hesitation. He was evidently the hero of the smallest boys, for when he went along they set up a perfect shriek of delight. For Brecon, the captain, Thomas, was the best of the three-quarters. He was very care- fully watched by the opposing centres, his powers being evidently known. Notwith- standing this, he showed smart work when- ever he received from the halves. Taking the Brecon three-quarters as a whole, I think they showed better combina- tion than the Llandovery threes did. Had they had equal opportunities things might have been different. T. C. Lewis at back was very safe, but lacked speed. Of the halves, Caldicutt was the better. Both played pluckily behind beaten forwards. The forwards failed to stay completely. They rallied at intervals in fine style, but the repeated attacks tired them. Marriott and Williams were noticeable, but I cannot be sure of the names of the others. One par- ticularly robust lad, who worked very hard indeed, seemed quite heartbroken as time drew near. Of the game as a whole there can be nothing but satisfaction felt. It was con- tested in fine spirit. The game was as keen as mustard, but with no trace of roughness. These two great Welsh schools set the cor- rect standard of play, and, further, see that it is adhered to.
