[STORY FOR TO-DAY. I The Broken Spring. 0- I By "ARIEL" I I was always foti-d of a practical joke, but why, I wonder, are they so much better played on gome people than others? One of the best I remember in my knock-about foot- ball experience was played by three or four I of its—members of the Penyrevail football team—on the livery stable-keeper who used to provide with conveyances when we visited our neighbouring rivals along the country roads. Old Vaughan had the reputa- tion of being good and kind to his "'osses," I and people thought because he kicked up such rows about fellows taking an extra mile or two surreptitiously behind his animals that I he had an Arab's undying love for his steeds. Ifis real object was to force a few more shillings out of his customers. We used to hire for the journey," but the mean, con- temptible way that man u to spy upon I us used to make me real tired. If his emis- sa-ries-planted at all the country pubs I round-failed him, he knew the particular kind of mud on all the roads and by-lanes, The trap was making a violent ftxreih. I and oould tell by successful layers on tha horse?" legs where we had been to a. hair! We-that is, Tom Bailey, Blenner, and j myself, three of the backs of our team— used to generally travel together to these matches, for we did not want to be tied to a.ny particular time of returning, and I fear our ways did not suit the trainer. Tom was our driver, a.nd got a. great name for his Jehu-Ship. He was suspected of having once owned a horse, and the eort of buttons he wore on his big, loose coat inspired confi- dence. Otiher signs about his persoa-his gaiters, horse-ahoe pin, &c.—and his big, cheerful, hoarse voice betokened clearly a judge of horseflesh. Blenner v. as quite a different sort of fellow. He hardly ever sspoke, but he had a companionable eonile once an hour or eo. He was a. nice, quiet fellow, but he was also useful, for his nervous haste to seize the reins whenever Bailey drove near to a small stone was a great check on our driver's oonceit. Occasionally Bailey insisted on Blenner sitting behind with his face away from t,he horee-for, as he said, he had no hiiniters he could put on him to make him quipit to drive! As I was saying, I thought a good deal of Bailey's driving-fot a time! But one Satur- day, as we were driving along an open common, with rather high mounds on cach side of the road, he got the reins mixed, a.nd drove us up over the bank. The I unexpeoted descent the other side deposited Blenner on the seat of his lavender pants in the ditch alongside, whilst the trap was i making a. violent lurch, then a descent of about three feet sheer down on to a. hard lane with a bang, breaking one of the springs. Well, we got over that day's match all right, and, having wetted it, returned to Penyrevail. You should have heard the row we had with old Vaughan later on, but it took him a long time to discover the damage. We threw a rug over the side, so as to fall gTacefully over the injured part, whilst Blenner-the speechless- was actually endeavouring to wheedle the old man into a. conversation. The spring was hold- ing together beautifully, and we thought that after the trap had been used again a. time or two, the owner might get mixed up as to who wer3 the real destroyers of his bounding, fiery chariot. We knew we should be imposed upon if he got wind of it, and we considered he had already swindled us often enough. We got away. Chuckling, for that day, but shortly I afterwards the old man discovered the damage and sent us a. sweet little note about it. Bailey saw him first, and swore he knew nothing about any spring. He had never sus- pected the ramshackle old vehicle of having a spring to its name. When Blenner was asked about it he put on a look to which the man- ner of the Heathen Chinee was palpa-bla criminality. Of course, I had then to sup- port the fellows. It revolted me, but I did it out of pure friendship and good nature. Then he got us all three together, and Bailey got a bit nasty, because he was so per- sistent, and at last blurted out: — "Well, what if we did smash it? It's the fortunes of your business, I suppose. Haven't we paid for your blooming establishment "Yoa pack ct thieves:" 00 thundered. I over and over again, and now,lof course, you can't stand anything being taken out of you in return! Oh, certainly not." Old Vaughan got very white, and talked wildly about county-courts and such places which I never visit unless obliged, and Bailey spoke no more, but sweetly whistled, "We've both been there before, many a time, many a time!" The old man swore if it cost him a hundred pounds in la.w he'd have it out of us. Some of us had a good deal to say after that, but we didn't pay. The old man wanted our custom, you see, and be didn't sue us. He used to tell us what it cost him to get it repaired. It was two pounds, but he would let us off with one, as we were old customers. That would be only 6s 8d each, and for gcnta like us that was nothing, whilst for a poor old horse-keeper like him it was a great denl-too fraud had houses and banking accounts. Some months after this we were off to play Pentwyn, and started directly after lunch in one of Vaughan's "well-horsed equipages." We had a rollicking good time after the match, and go-t back rather late. At the last pub. we called at the landlord showed us a. bad half-crown, which had been passed upon him during the day. He was exceedingly disgusted with himself, and wae talking of nailing it to the counter. This led to a talk about spurious coins in general, and our host, later on, produced two or three gold coins, which he said had been given him by some of the villagers who I bad 4nfT_st,4fctofc neighbouring house which the police had raided a year or two before, and where, they had arrested some coiners. They were oertainly excellent impressions. Blenner got the landlord to part with one, and put it in his pocket. The landlord warned him againet doing anything except keeping it "as a curiosity." "That's just -what I intend to do," said Bier nor, with a funny, flittering sort of smile. I On turning into the yard of old Vaughan's stables wo could see the old man religiously at his post, scrutinising his oabs and traps as I they were returned for tho night. He was a.s cross as "two sticks," and v.-as peculiarly grumpy to us three fellows. The old "spring" rankled with him yet, and dried up the other ¡ spring—of kindnesl- in his breast. H,ro you brought it back complete?'* he queried sarcastically, eyeing his vehicle carefully. "Rather! said Bailey emphatically; "and ourselves a?l complete, too, which is more j I important, though hardly expected. Why do you hire out traps which keep you all of a. tremble like this? You'll have to pay for it one of these days." "Oh, go along!" said Vaughan, vindictively. "If you broke your necks you'd never be misled. You're a dishonourable lot alto- gether—only fit to play footbaii and kick referees. There's another fate in store for I' you. Then Blenner-t'h quiet, Blenner—spoke out. Blenner had been hatching a plot all the ¡ evening and we never knew it. "Still harping on that broken spring?" said he haughtily. "Very good. We'll put an end to that. Write us a receipt and take your quid. We've heard enough about it. Hence- forth, we deal elsewhere. We have main- tained this place long enough. Kindness is lost on-" I The old man seized the sovereign and looked at it excitedly, as though he could scarcely believe his eye*. "I don't want to quarrel with you, bo"B! I Let bygones bc-" "Oh, well, you'll have to just stand us a round of drinks for luck, and we'll say no more about it," said Bailey, who was begin- ning to get excited. "Right ye are," said old Vaughan, chuck- ling ag though something had gone wrong with his works inside. "Wait a minute, and I'll be out with yon." We waited for him and then adjourned to the hotel at the corner. We indicated our preference for brandies and sodas in the way of tonics, and aId Vaughan was about to put down the sovereign on the counter, when Bailey interrupted him quickly. "Xo! don't change that. Its unlucky. You've waited for it long enough." "Oh. I've got some other money, never fear. I don't depend on what I get from you fellows. I'd be poorly off if I did," said the old fellow, triumphantly, producing half-a-croira, which just about paild the order. Whilet drinking with us he still continued to laugh to himself with immensa glee. "Upon my word," said Bailey, "it doesn't teke so much as I thought to make you pleasant, Mr. Vaughan. You are really get- ting quite sociable—what's up?" "You'd Laugh yourselves if you only knew," said the old man, still laughing till he was hardly able to hold his glass. "You fellowB are a dcuced clever lot," said j he at last—"at leaet, you think eo. The 'rising generation' are supposed to be brainy. You'd have to get up precious early in the morning to best me, my lads! You think you've had me nicely for the paat twelve months, ell? Jh¡,! ha! 11a.1 Damme 1 i That spring only cost me half a sovereign to put right. I thought I'd have my own b&ck from you if I lived till a hundred." With that he drank up his liquor to the dregs, and placed his glass on the counter, and started for the door imm-aneely pleased with himself, as was evident. Then it was our turn. "Don't change that quid," said Bailey, eig- nilioantly; "I told you before—it's unlucky." "I'•LI change it and drink your health with the profits yet," said old Yaagbaii. "Better not, I say, because old Blenner has tried to paee it all the way from Pentwyn, atnd he nearly gm into trouble. So we thought we'd keep it for a real Juggins!" I shall never forget the look on old Vaug'han's fa-ce as he held the coin up to the light, then bit it, theai threw it at Blenner. "You pack of thieves!" he thundered; "I'll be even witth you yet." We deal elsewhere now, because, a.lthough we afterwards settled up honourably, old Vaugaan will have no dealings with us, eince his amour prupre has been "properly" h,i.9 amour prx),pm has bem

Miscellaneous, I 1 ENTERTAINING AND OURIOUS I ITEMS. I The mntN-attoa of bops in Great Britain is restricted to some six counties of England, the total area in hops outside these counties baring only 188 acres, as compared with 4/,611 acres within them. An English naval cadet, who on his train- ing ship took eleven first prizes and in the first examination obtained 97.6 per cent., was rejected at the medical exa-minattion on aocouut of a small defect in one little too. A German has patented a microphone for suspension in the water, rn order to record on a oonneoted telephone the presence of shoals of fish, which by their tapping on the microphone case will betray themselves. The rudimentary structure of a third eye exists in a lizard. Disregard for a time his two bright eyes, one on each edde of his head, a.nd look directly down on the centre of the 6kull between them. Here one will find an oddly-shaped soaJe marked with a little depression, and this is, indeed, what is laft of the Cyclopean eye. The horae, the bat, the, mol-?, the monkey, and the seal, aJl have traces of this eye. A Recipe for Pearls Paris is suffering from a pearl-famine; the pearl necklace has become so fashionable that pearls are fetching enormous prices. It would be interesting to know what has become of Linnaeus's recipe for the manufac- turo of pearls. That philosopher in the year 1761 informed the then King of Sweden that he had discovered a method by which mussels might be made to produce pearls, and offered to disclose it for the benefit of the country. Bechman said he saw some of the pearls pro- duced. The offer not being laccepted, Linnaeus subsequently disposed of the secret for a sum of money to Bagge of Gothenburg. In 1870 the heirs to Linnaeus were desirous of selling the sealed recipe to the highest bidder, a.nd it has been said that the secret is in the possession of a London merchant.

I CRY FOR MERCY I PASSIONATE PRAYERS HEARD AT CEFN MEETINGS. I Revivalist and Congregation I The Bevival campaign carried on by Mr. Evan Roberts was continued yesterday at the village of Cefn, near Morthyr. It was impos- sible to accommodate all the people who wanted to hear Air. Roberts at Ebenezer Con- gregational Chapel in the afternoon, and overflow meetings were, therefore, held in Moriah (B.) and Carmel (C.M.) Chapels. There were present a. large number of minis- ters of all denominations, including some Church of England clergymen, from all parts of the kingdom. The Rev. Dr. Rees asked the people to sing 'Rhwn sy'n -,yru-r mellt i 'hedeg," and the singing was in con- sonance with the majestic words of the hymn. There are many who havo oome here from Wales. England, Scotland and Ireland," remarked one, and he prayed earnestly that these strangers should be caught by the "flame whiah had been kindled" in Wales, so that they might be able to go back to their respective places, and that these places, too, should be fired." Another man who remem- bered the '59 reviva-l compared the present with the past revivals. It was, he said, almost identical in its leading features with the great Welsh reviva-l referred to, and also with the English &nd Continental and Scrip- tural revivals, too. The people sang very plaintively and pathe- tically Yr Oen a fu farw" ("The Lamb that died "), and a man on the steps of the pulpit dramatically exclaimed, Thank God, the Lamb that was slain is yet alive," and he exhorted the people most eloquently, and his earnestness and warmth were contagious. Another man in another part of tie building joined him in his exhortations, whilst two or three others prayed fervently that their remarks might have an effect on the congre- gation. The fervent character of the meeting was pronounced some time before Mr. Evan Roberts, accompanied by '!{u.s Annie Davies (Maesteg) and Miss Mary Bavies (Gorsednon) entered, to the strains of Marchog Iesu," several beang also at the same time praying very fervently. Mr. Roberts at once stopped the singing. There was too much of the des- pondent about it. Mr. Roberts, who had just been at a children's meeting, remarked that tha people, too, murt be like little children, whose little souls were free as air- Stubborn- ness must give way. It was in the school they all were, and the Spirit was the teacher. And what a Teacher! If they wished to be taught, it was absolutely necessary that they should go down-" down to the lowest form" to begin with. Both Miss Mctry Davies and Mies Annie Davies then prayed very fervently, the latter pleading hard for some woman who bad oome to the meeting, but not with the object of worshipping God-ra,tther to retard His work. During the subsequent portion of the pro- ceedings the fervour had reached an excep- tionally high point, and many times the effect was thrilling. At one time' people of aJ ages were heard prraying in all Parts now a. woman's pleading voice would be heard abew the rest, and then would burst forth upon the meeting a combination of hko'» voices passionately beseeching for mercy, and anoai the peculiar Welsh musical intonation would predominate. More and more intense would the scene become, and the tension would then culmi- naite in song. When it came to the recording- of converts it was remarked that one man in the gallery had raid that he "did not feel" he could sur- render. "That is the argument of the Evil One," was Mr. Boberte's rejoinder. "It does not matter if you feel like the rock; all you've got to do is to believe." "For you I a.m praying" was rendered with much feel- ing. and tlifn came the intimation that the man bad given in," and then came several others, t.he congregation bursting out triumphantly with "Diolch iddo" and Songs of Praises." Evening Meeting I ine evening meeting was also at Ebeneaer Chapel. In the course of the proceedings a youug man got np in the gallery and inter- fered a little with the service, and asked the people to Etand up whilst singing "Duw ma.wr y rhyfeddodau maith." He then made the remark that there was someone "block- ing the way," but the missioner somewhat sharply rejoined: "So, no; it is you who are blocking the way. You interfered with the service. "You sing, people," he concluded. Later on the missioner became dissatisfied with the meeting, and there was not the sa.me intense and spontaneous fervency manifest. "What is the matter?" queried Mr. Roberts, as if a little perplexed. He twice asked those who were at peace with each other to stand, and each time ail the people stood, though they wero abjured by the evangelist not to dissimulate, for they Tjighi be stricken down. "raere is something wrong again," was his remark. Presently, Mr. Roberts suddenly remarked that he had found the obstacle; some had been offended because be had spoken in the way he had to the young min. Yes, I had been," replied a man close by, and another person in the gallery made a similar confession, and then the young man himself prayed very fervently and remarked that he had forgiven Mr. Roberts. The missioner was then happy. Mr. Roberts explained that he never dared to interfere when people praised God if there was a "ring" of sincerity about it, and th-ey were praising gloriously" when the young man interfered, and that was the reason he (Mr. Roberts) had spoken in the way he did. "But the obstacles are removed now," he delightedly remarked; and he was right. The fervour and enthusiasm of the people were re-doubled. It should be stated that in the afternoon, prior to coming to Ebeneaer, Mr. Roberts for a short time attended a meeting of children, at which about 400 were present. Before the close quite a revival meeting was held, little children from nine to thirteen years of age taking part and praying and singing. And this re-calls the fact that in the Christmas holidays groups of children mado it a practice to go every day up to the brow of the mountain to hold a prayer meet- ing. Mr Evan Roberts and Baptism, I With regard to the statement contained in ( a contemporary that Mr. Evan RoWferts is I about to be baptised, we have the bast authority for stating that the revivalist has 1 declared the report to be ail nonsense." Finances of the Revival I Seen by an "Evening Express representative as he was hurrying out of the meeting at Cefn on Friday, Mr. Evan Roberts absolutely declined to make any statement with regard to the finances of the revival. He would not, he said, stoop to everybody and to contradict all that was being said about him. Time would explain everything, and in the mean- time he would not care even to endorse Mr. Sydney Evans's remarks on the point, and he subsequently explained that he wished to dis- sociate his name altogether from the matter as far as he was personally concerned. Plight of the Poor I Several conversions are reported aB the result of the revivaJ service at the Taber- nacle Chapel, Cardiff, on Friday night. There was a lajgo atteudance, and during the even- ing Mrs. Edwards, wife of Principal Edwards, spoke of the plight of the poor children of the town in this exceptionally cold weather. Her appeal had a. ready response, and evoked assistance from some who were not in sympathy with the revival. One man, who said he was an a-gnostic. said he was in cordial agreement with Mrs. Edwards, a,nd I added his contribution to the collection made at the doors.

THE SCOTCH MATCH* H.B.'s STRONG I [P TO THE WELSH PLAYERS. I Special to "Evening Express." The WoMi team against England took a very brief space of time to choose. The team against Scotland took less. And the committee have again selected exactly the Friine men. This was not owing to any feeling of com- plete satisfaction with the form of each and every individual of the team that operated against England, but ra-thelr to the general feeling that it would be unwise to risk any changes, on the strength of What the com- I mittee must have considered to be a tem- porary loss of form by some of the forwards during one portion of the great gaane on the Cardiff Arms Park. A change, if mistaken, cuts deeper in the wrong direction than the fault of playing a. man once too often does. Experience has taught the committee this. Then, with the remembrance of the Xeath trial match form of the same front men, and the reminder that! the English eight were a big handful to negotiate, it was not surprising that the com- mittee decided to rely upon the same men. And, personally, I think the very bset thing has been done. lJOt us discuss. After the English match, through all the joy of winning, it was felt that, in spite of the great score, there was something want- ing in the pack. The Englishmen had had too miuoh of the forward pl-ay, and, by common consent, it was agreed that this became possible because some of the Welch forwards had fallen short of their true form. The word "some" is indefinite, but it exactly describes the situation, and is the correct word to use, for there were ad most as many opinions sus to where the forwards' slackness lay as there were forwards in the pack. Starting with the "one man to blame" ideas as time passed on, different districts developed different ideas of the source of the weakness and didn't fail to express them. Personally, and, of course, this is only a single opinion, I think that what weakness there was could not be laid at the feet of any one forward. It struck me that the work of the pack as a pack it was t-hat made us feel the sense of something wanting. The pack had not done what they were capable of doing. Though one man was off his game, he couldn't be responsible for all. If he lagged behind, surely he could Dot be blamed for fMUng to secure the ball oftener in front. Through all the joy of victory I felt that our forward form of that day waa insuni- oient for Scotland. But it was the form only, and not the men, that gave the worry. If these could produce nothing better, then it was good-bye to the Welsh appearance in the haJo of the triple crown Ha-ving touched on the Welsh selection, and found that it is not easily understand- a,ble how it could be otherwise, let us have a. little straight talk. We want to win this ma.tch against Scotland. We want to break the ice of the Inverleith ill-luck. I am con- vinced that the selected team is equal to the task. If each individual of the team does that which ho knows to be best suited to get and keep himself in form, then we shall ha.ve the satisfaction at the finish of being victors of a good fight, well fought. If an illustration is required, let each man get into tha-t condition he was in at the trial. Friend Teddy Lewis summed the whole of the forwards up that day as being in the tia-k." Tihat's just it; we WaUt our men in the pink. If "telling" could- do it, they will be in the pink. But telling can't. Each man must take the task to heart for him- &&if. It is saai of every man that iu rela- tion to his self-knowledge lie is either a fool or a physician at forv. There's a lot in I it, but there's more in the statement that the age of the obtaining of the international cap constitutes the time of t-he fool or physi- cian period for the footballer. Or, plainly, if a man has thoroughly deserved his cap, he should be the best judge of what is best. suited to raising and keeping him in the pink of condition. And, know-in.g this, it is a point of honour that every one of our players will, at a-ll sacrifices, strive to arrive at, and, having arrived at. itrive to maintain, the form he is known to be able to attain to, the form to which is selection is due. I do not want to labour this point of self- sacrifice, but I feel so convinced that the taaan is good enough for the task set out for it, that I would, at the risk of being con- sidered a crank on the point, again call upon our men to do. all they know in judicious training-and by this is meant not only physical exercise, but sound sleep and whole- some daet—to bring about the victory which waits upon their f3ii1Î1.t1 preparations. I entered upon this article with no idea of saying any more, but must have a go at the pink," with the hope that something written may help, if not direct; y, then, may. be, in a weak moment. In common with fellow committeemen, I I feel that the natural conditions which obtained to get our men into the best con- dit-ion should be followed as closely as pos- sible from the time that the man leave their homes and the union assume care of them. Always granted that the health o each is good, and. apparently, they overbalance with the good of it, then the remainder—the diet and rest—should receive just that amount of attention that is required to make the con- ditions equal to. and as natural as obtained in the home life. I really believe that the two days prior to the match are the most important of the anxious days. Anything that breaks the regularity of diet or rest in that interval is likely to discount to a great extent the condition of "in the pink" that regularity and plainness of meads, to- gether with sound rest, has conduced to pro- duce. Until the match is played the same rigid regime, so necessary to the form of the athlete, should be kept up. Let every player, with regard to diet, satisfy himself that he is fulfilling the usual conditions of his tra.ining, and no more; and if also he insists upon having a full night's rest, even at the expense of foregoing a. nice little chat with an old chum, then we can re-produce that form which we show on our own grounds. grounds. Mian, we want to win this g-aane. The men can do it. Will the men do it? It rests with them.

ITREORKY SENSATION I MAN'S BODY FOUND ON THE LINE. J6300 In His Pockets. I ) An inquest was held a.t the Institute, Treorky, yesterday (before Mr. R. J. Rhys. coroner), on the body of Thomas David Thomas, 52, 46, Cardiff-street, who was found on the Taff Vale Railway, nea.r the Tylacoch Bridge, on Tuesday night. Deceased was a deacon at Gosen Chapel, a native of Llall- dovery, and had resided at Treorky for up- wards of twenty j*ears. Mr. W. Rem*, 46, Cardiff-street, said deceased I had lodged with his parents for eighteen years. He had only worked one day since Christmas, and was iu a. very weak state of health. Witness had never heard deceased make a threat to t.ake away his life. J. Edward Jones, a mineral guard on the Taff Vale Railway, said ihe found the body on the ma-in line. The body was very badly mutilated. By a Juror: The mineral train travelled on the down line twenty minutes after the pas- senger train had gone. The footbridge was riajsed about 14ft. to 15ft. above the railway. Inspector Ponsford said that several trains had been specially inspected, but there were no traces of blood or clothing on them. Police-sergeant Lamb said it was impossible for deceased to have got over the gate leading to -the level crossing, as there were iron spikes on the top rail. The body had been removed when witness got on the scene, but the head, which had been severed from the trunk, lay on the far side of the railway. Deceased's cap and two purses containing over £ 26 were found under the bridge. Nothing was found on the bridge. A Juror: He was a. good, religious man. T'he Coroner: A very careful man. Police-sergeant Læmb: There were notes in lli5 pooke.t for £ 280; £ 26 was found in the purses and there were aJao two bank books in his pocket. The Coroner sadd the position where the Clap an i purses wer6 found seemed curious. They niigiht find a verdict of suicide, and there was some evidence that deceased was depressed. If, on the other hand, the jury thought the evidence was not strong enough to justify a i verdict of suicide, they might find tba.t he was found dead on the railway. The jury resumed an open verdict.

There ie only a helpless old man with me in the house. How dare you say that theee papers and deed have been t/tolen? Lattice had said, "How dare you suggest my cousin of being a thief?" and Winthrop answered, "I am sorry to hurt your feelings, but, for my part, I feel sure about it." 460. 2.—"My dear doctor, can this be you?" pried the little man (Chancy); 412, 1, He is tall.

He shaved off his moustache and mounted a pair of spec- tacles; 437, 1, He wore a heavy blonde mous- tache and was bending over the girl with eyes that smiled into her and saw nothing else. Chaney says that Roper used some easily negotiable securities, partly belonging to his partner and the clients of the firm; When Winthrop asks were his deeds re- covered, Olianery answers "Every one," and (413, 1) Mellish tried to sell one bond and was imorisoned for it. 460. 3.—Trunk; yellow box.

I NORTHERN UNION II NOTES ON WELSH PLAYERS "UP NORTH." It is generally conceded that one Welsh player who has rendered capital service for his club is M'Lean, the young centre from Cardiff who some months ago threw in his lot with Oldham. Week after week he play*, in splendid form, and much of the success of his club is due to his individual efforts. 1 The Welsh players a.t Wig-an continue to be very roughly handled by the club com- j mitteo. This week Thomas, who has been part nering Hopkins at half-back, has been dropped. Il.,e.s continue to be well served by their Welsh playens,* and Llewellyn and Phil Thoma.s J)l.a.y very finely. It was openly acknowledged at the time. the latter went from Oldham that the a,mount paid for his transfer was E253, and, as the Leeds officials have never regretted paying this amount, they must be highly a,ppre-ciating the of Thomas. There is just a chance of Hull doing very well iu the cup-ties, for they appear to have got, their back division in fine order. Jenkins and Freear are bearing the brunt of the work at throe-quarter, and Burchell has all along kept his place at half-back. Of the Yorkshire clubs who have gone in for Welsh importations, Hull have certainly had good service rendered them. NORTHERN UNIONIST.

Wetherdon, the jockey from Germany, are spending a short holiday at Newmarket. Melton House. Exning, which was onoe the home of old Matthew Dawson, has been eold to Mr. Godfrey Miller, who, having obtained the necessary licence, wiU in future train his horses at Newmarket. I Mr. Frank Ward, the well-known National Hunt handicap per, has, in conjunct-ion with M. W. Gladstone, son of the late Mr. W. S. Gladstone, been appointed to manage the meetings at Hooton Park. Under the Rules of Racing the following names have been abandoned. Mr. Ferns and Mr. A. \Vaiton. Under National Hunt Rules the following names have been abandoned: Captain Beetles* Mr. F. Fredericks, and Mr. W. Sayer. Butchers, to make up 12st 71b for Veritas, the winner of the Ditch Selling Handicap Hurdle Race at Newmarket on Thursday, had to carry nearly 5st dead weight, this being made up of a Zllb saddle and the remainder by leads, of which there were actually 3at 21b. The result of a poet-mortem examination of Smilax, the property of Mr. Jersey," shows that the right lung was badly diseased, and this accounts for the great difficulty experi- enced in training the daughter of Milford and Tenaox when under the oliarge of Wilson.
