? HUGE BOULDERSI I
? HUGE BOULDERS I Roll Down from a Height of 60 Feet. A BIG LANDSLIP AT NEW! TREDEGAR. Houses Wrecked: Railway Damaged. What is described as the greatest landslip that has occurred for many years past in the Rhymney Valley took place on Saturday evening. The neighbourhood since 1856 has been subject to slips of railway embankments owing to the removal of earth. When the Brecon and Merthyr Railway was being laid the company were greatly troubled by huge slips of earth contimially taking place near the pit sunk by Messrs. Powell. Immediately opposite the collieries, on the Glamorganshire side, the Rhymney Railway Company last year ware inconvenienced by a movement of earth, and this necessitated the erection of great embankment walls. In the Sirhowy Valley a short time ago there was a large movement of the hill, and huge boulders of stone and earth rolled down the hillside. The present source of trouble is identical with that in August, 1901, when the neighbour- hood was alarmed by a, report that the "mountain side was giving way," and that t-h ) Nos. 1 and 2 Collieries, togeiiher with the Brecon and Mert,hyr Railway at this point, were seriously endangered. The highway leading- from Tredegar to New Tredegar was also closed for vehicular traffic for a long period, and greia.t expeanse had to be incurred by the Bedweilty District Council before the thoroughfare could be re-opened for traffic. At this time the slip showed signs of permanent settlement, and the Powell Duffryn Company caused two new houses to be built, enlarged the previously existing pro- perty, and began sinking a colliery shaft, which is known as the No. 3 Pit. This shaft has just been sunk to a depth of 312 yards, reaching the vein of coal worked by the No. 2 Pit.. To-day it seems as if some of the thou- eands of pounds expended by the company has been lost owing to Saturday's landslip. At 2.50 p.m. on Saturday it was seen that the rocky hill had again begun to play havoc with the roadway recently repaired. Huge boulders bounded down from a height of 60fL. into a cradle of earth, dashed over an embankment 7ft. high, and smashed tho highway and the tube fence beside thj road. With increased force they came to the recently-erected houses, which became a wreck, the strong embankments built in the rear being dashed against the buildings and causing them to become shapeless structures. Naturally, the railway of the Brecon and Merthyr Company, which runs through the district, was rendered crooked for a span of over 300 yards. Fish-plates and chairs were "snapped like twigs, and the rails bent into curious shapes. Great precautions were taken on Saturday I to convey the 9.25 p.m. train from Newport over the disturbed section. The tramline, which was worked by a "drum" from the quarry to the pit-head, has been completely buried. The pillars of brickwork recently I fixed to support a waterway along the Brecon and Merthyr line have been quite destroyed, and as there were signs of further trouble it was found necessary to raise the tramways at the pit-head, and also release all girders fixed between walls to ease the strain upon them. The stores and offices to the west of the railway, together with the saddlers' shop, have been forced out- wards against wagons on the sidings, and great care will have to be exercised in remov- ing the trucks. The masonry of the boundary walls of the new No. 3 Pit has been thrown down, and the iron pillars supporting the roofing have been wrecked. Matters having taken so serious a turn, it has been found necessary to rajise the hordes from below ground, to damp down all bodler fires, and to stop all machinery. The approach of the roadway was protected at the Tredegar and New Tr.edegar ends by police on Saturday night, and Oil Sunday Superintendent Alien, Tredegar, with Polke- hergean.t Humphries, was early on the scene to arrange further for the protection of life and property. The Khymney Railway Oom- pa.ny were also asked to remove wagons from sidings for fear of further serious develop- ments. The agent of the company (Alderman N. Phillips, J.P.) was on the spot practically during the whole of Saturday night. The collieries' are idle to-day (Monday), and it is fearea that work will be setriio'usly impeded for some time. Messrs. A. E. Poyntz ajid H. J. Sims, of the Brecon and Mea-thyr and Rhymney Railways, were early on the scene, and arranged for the safety of the rolling-stock of the companies concerned. Hundreds of people visited the locality on Sunday, notwithstanding the tremendous rains throughout the day. On account of the obstruction to the rail- way work at the Tredegar Company's Aber- tysswg and Rhymney Collieries will be inter- fered with, and thousands of workmen will in consequence be affected. It is estimated that the damage already extends to a.bout £ 10,000.
IIGALE ON LAND AND SEA. I…
GALE ON LAND AND SEA. TRAFFIC HINDERED IN THE CHANNEL: STEAMER DAMAGED. I I THREE PERSONS LOSE THEIR LIVES. Since Saturday a southerly gale has been blowing with hurricane force in the Bristol Channel, and during the past four tides very few vessels have left or entered the docks of Cardiff, Penarih. or Barry. A large fleet, of vessels is known to 00 sheltering under Lundy Island and in other places of safety in the Channel, but. so far no serious casual ties have been reported. The steamship Oak- ville eutered the Boath Dock on Sunday morning from Santander. On the home-ward voyage tempestuous weather was expe- rienced, and during a sudden squall a huge sea swept the deck and carried away a1 couple of boats, betgides doing other deck damage. Although there was nothing in the nature of a. general breakdown, the telegra;ph and Post Office telephone services in South Wales were deranged to all extent by the storm. On inquiry at Galrdiff Post-office we were informed that as it was Sunday. and lew offices were open, it was impptssible to gauge the extent of the breakdown. There would be a probable improvement to-day. STEAME-Fu DAMAGED AT CABDIFF. The steamship MetisaJ-eh, of Lou don, owned by Messrs. Alesaude-r and Son, put i ut.o Car- diff Docks late on Snndiiy night, for repairs. She s-aiUcd on Thursday from Newport, bound for Ortoua with a cargo of coal. It wa,5 then blowing hard, but at noon on Friday the force -of the gale inereat-ed. The sea became very high, and the boat laiboured heavily. She was continually washed by heavy seas, as her chief officer, Mfr. Leash, told our repre- sentative, and one of these about three o'clock on Saturday morning stove in one of her hatchways, smashed 'her bulwarks and rails on the port side, burst in the panels and door of the chart-house, and smashed the bridge. As the boat had shipped a quantity of wa.ter. the master (Captain Linklater), when off Pondeen Lighthouse, decided to put back to Barry Roads. The Mensaleh arrived there on Sunday morning. She had a heavy list to port, and one of her boilers was leaking, and I she WaÆ; towed to Cardiff by the tugs Active and Falcon. She is now moored in the Hoath Basin. and will go into the Bute Dry Dock for repairs. CAPTAIN INJCE-ED AT NEWPORT. In the heavy ga,le which prevailed o.n Satur- II day night the Thomas Coats, a coaling vessel, whioh had only just left, Newport with a cargo of coal, had her bridge hlown away, and had to put back th port, Captain M'Keer had his right leg fractured and the other one badly bruised, and had to be taken to the New[w>rt Hospital. I TWO WARSHIPS IN COLLISION. A Lloyd's Glasgow me.sea;ge states tbarf. has Majesty's ship Roxburgh collided on Satur- day night a.t, Queen's Dock entrance with, the steamer kbeston. The Roxburgh was undamaged, but the Elseston had several pi a, tew damaged. The steamer Speedy, of Newry, collided at Portland with a British torpedo-boat destroyer, name unknowu. The Speedy is I undamaged; damage to the destroyer, if any, unknown. A LINER AGROUND. Lloyd's staIte that the liner Oroya, from Sydney, which grounded on Coalhou.se Point, near Crave-end. on Saturday morning, was floated in 1.110 afternoon with the assietawioe of tugs, and proceeded to Tilbury Dock. j ———

I RUSSIAN LOSSES !
I RUSSIAN LOSSES Estimated at 150,000 Men. JAPANESE CAPTURE 60 GUNS. Prodigeous Spoils of Battle. [Press Association Special Service.] ST. PETERSBURG, Saturday. A telegram from General Kuropatkin, dated Friday, six p.m., says:- The retreat of the army is very dan- gerous, and especially trying for those corps which are some distance from the Mandarin road. The Japanese penet.rated far into the mountains. In the direction of Tawan they threatened our troops, but, thanks to extraordinary efforts, our armies are out of danger. The enemy cannonaded the route of our retreat from east and west. The Eastern Mandarin road was bombarded a,t two points, near Tawau and Puho. One troops are very brave. The reason why the Japanese have advanced so easily from the south is that the Hun-ho, which covered our posi- tion at Mukden, has frozen over to-day. General Zerpinaky is wounded, but remains in the front. [Central News Special Service.] ST. PETERSBURG, Sunday. General Kuropatkin in an official dispatch to the Czar, under yesterday's date, cays:- On the front of the second army, where I was myself, last night passed without fighting. The rearguard of this army, under General Hoerschelmaun, occupied up to seven o'clock this morning posi- tions in the neighbourhood of Houschi- tai Station. I have as yet received no report from 'I the third army. Portions of the first army had by this morning reached points from 28 to 53 kilometres from Tie-ling, to the south I and south-east. I [Press Association Special Service.] ST. PETERSBURG, Sunday. 10.45 p.m. Another telegram frord General Kuropatkin, daited Saturday, 10.40 p.m., says:- To-day the enemy only attacked the reax guard of the three Siberian Army Oorps. The first army, echeloned in front of the other armies, is continuing to retreat on the positions appointed for all the armies. According to a report from the com- mander of the third army, which I have received to-day, the rear guard of that army was to-day occupying a position on the Mandarin road, 25 versts (seven- teen miles) from Tie-ling. This rear guard had confronting' it only a email force of the enemy, mostly cavalry. Prom February 20 to March 11 the numbers of missing from the roll-call ha,ve been 1,190 officers and 46,391 men. [Press Association Special Service.] I TIE-LING, Saturday. I I have arrived here from Mukden. The j position of the Russian army last night I seemed good, but critical fighting was immi- nent to the west of the railway between Mukden and Tie-ling. I [Press Association Special Service.] I PARIS, Saturday. I The Matin" correspondent at St. Peters- burg says he was assured yesterday evening by the General Staff that Kuropatkin's situa- tion was far from being bad, and that he was not yet surrounded. It was also denied that the Japanese had attacked the Russian left wing. Sixty to eighty thousand Russians are eaid to have been killed or wounded.

THE RUSSIAN LOSSES. 40,000 MEN TAKEN PRISONERS BY THE JAPANESE. The following telegram, dated Tokio, Sun- day, has been received a;t the Japanese Legiar tion in London:- Report received in the afternoon of March 11:- Our various detachmeante, hotly pur- suing the enemy from all directions, and inflicting considerable damage everywhere, occupied in the afternoon of Mardi 10 the line thirteen miles north of the Hun-ho, and are ooia-tin-uing pursuit. On March 11 our detachments started northwards. In the morning of March 11 from the neighbourhood of Puho met a large column of the enemy retreating north- wards, and after hand-to-hand fighting enveloped it, and the column finally surrendered. Xear Mukdem we are now engaged in clearing the remnants of the routed enemy, who continue resistance or come to surrender. Heaps of Russian corpses are found everywhere. The liumbsr of Russian prisoners was estimated on March 10 at 20,000, since then continually increasing. Eenorfc received on March 12: — Our total casualties since February 26 to the morning of March 12 are 41,222. [Press Association Special Service.] TOKIO, Sunday. Marshal Oyama, telegraphing to-day, re- port. The prisoners and spoils taken from the enemy, and the estimated casualties against all our forces in the Sha-ho direction follow, but the number of prisoners, guns, and spoils is increasing momentarily. Prisoners number over 40,000, and include General Nachmoff. Killed and wounded are estimated at 90,000.

A telegram from St. Petersburg to the "Petit Journal" aa-ys: — "It is stated that General Zerpitzky, whom a. dfepaitch t mm Kuropatkin gave as wounded, is now dead. Three hundred officers have been killed a-tid 1,100 wounded. It eeems only too certain that the fig-ure of 60,000 soldiers killed and 80,000 wounded, is correct."

Another Japanese detachment reached Puho, thirteen miles north of Mukder., on the evening of March 10, and is inllicting considerable damage upon the retreating enemy. THE FORCES ENGAGED. [Central News Special Service.) < TOKIO. Sunday. • The opposing forces in the fighting around Mukden arc estimated to number 850,000.

PEACE NOT IN SIGHT. I
PEACE NOT IN SIGHT. I EUROPEAN REPORTS OFFICIALLY: CONTRADICTED. [Press Association Special Service.] ST. PETERSBURG, Saturday The Russian Foreign Office gives a denial to the report that Russia had given Franoe to understand that she was ready to enter into peac-a negotiations. The following note was issued this evening by the semi-official. agency:— The defeat at Mukden is furnishing material for conjectures as to peace pour- parlers to the European press, which is filled with articles and expressions of opinion on the subject of peace. It has been stated in all seriousness that the Russian Government j has informed the French Government that it is the intention of the Emperor to engage in peace pourparlers. We are aathoriseit to declare in the most categorical fashion that all statements to the effect that it is the inten- tion of the Russian Govern ment to open pour- parlers with a view to the conclusion of peace are absolutely without foundation. These statements do not emanate, and cannot emanate, from well-informed Russian sources. They are either simply the conjectures of the various correspondents or are derived from Japanese sources. It is known that Japan is at present negotiating a loan with Briti-sh and American bankers, and that she is also negotiating a loan of 100,000,000 yen ( £ 10,000,000) with an oil company on the guar- j antee of the naphtha deposits in the north of Japan and Sakhalin. Interested parties are encouraging these reports in order to assure the success of the loan after removing the fears caused by the uncertainty as t-o the duration of tihe war." The Russian Ambassador late on Friday night had a long interview with Lord Lasis- downe. j [Central News Special Service.] ST. PETERSBURG, Sunday. An informal meeting of Ministers was held yesterday a-t. Tsiarskoe Seloe, when it was resolved to prosecute the war in view of General Kuropaifckin's report that the army was out of danger. BATTLE INCIDENTS. All the guns and carts on the Russian left flank were saved. A resumption of heavy fighting in the vicinity of Tie-ling is expected. A portion of the Japanese fifth army I marched forty miles in one day. The retirement from the Sha-ho is described I by Reuter's correspondent as a linely-I executed movement. I' The crossing of the Hun-ho was accom- plished only in the nick of time. The ice was softening rapidly. I The range of hills north of the Sha-ho l furnished the Russians with a perfect screen, I behind which they could conduct their I retreat. The care of the Russian prisoners (esti- mated from one source at 75.000) is becoming a large and expensive problem. The Japanese j Government intends to remove the military prisoners to islands in the Inland Sea, and -bll the captives will, probably, be removed to them. General Zerpitsky is reported to hare thrown himself into the midst of the enemy, brandishing his Ðword. and crying, "Föir God's sake, kill me." The disaster was ter- rible. The RuæÎ-an, soldiers, seized with mad- ness, fired ait their comrades, and some hurled themselves against the trees, which I they took for Japanese.
I Russian Civil War.-I
Russian Civil War. I TERRIBLE OUTRAGE IN THE CAUCASUS I A Baku message the industrial district of Balakhany the civil war takes a serious character. There are many killed a-ad wounded, and the looting of eliops and I houses belonging to ArmeniaM continues. A wealthy Armenian of Baku, Balabek, Lalaeff, remained for two days besieged in his house. He several times telephoned to Prince Naka- shidi&e, Governor of the province, that the Tartars were preparing to burn his house a,nd out the throats of all his family. He aisked for a, guard. The Governor refused. Lalaeff at length took refuge, with his wife, his brother, and his servants, nine persons altogether, in tihe large vaulted cellar of lias house. A crowd of 500 to 600 armed Tartars assembled, and forced a wa.y into the house, carried off all the household effects, iand set fir to the building. W,hen the housse was burned to the ground, the Tartars entered thi cellar, and pulled out into the afcreet, Lalaeff. his wife, and his brother, whom they immediately put to death, stabbing them with daggers, and shooting them with revol- vers before the eyes of troops and Cossacks. Lalaeff's body was found to have received nine bullets. He had been disembowelled wiith daggers, and his face was mutilated, The body of his wife had also beem mutilated. Of the nine persons who had taken, refuge in the cellar, only four were saved. The Tar- tare e committed atrocities in other streets also. In one house thoy out the throats of the whole family, and hanged a girl. The; Tartars exterminated the Armenians by j every means in their power, sparing neither women or children. The number of victims I is said to exceed 1,500 killed and wotinded.- Reuter.

I RUSSIAN RETREAT I
I RUSSIAN RETREAT I KUROPATKtffS CONFIDENCE IN HIS MEN. [Press Association Special Service.] TIE-LING, Saturday, 1.55 p.m. At seven o'clock yesterday morning the explosion caused by the blowing up of the Hun bridge MId an immenee e'oud of smoke from the bmrning settlement made it indis- putable that Kuropa?tkin had decided to relin- quish a.Iso the second of hi6 great central position-s-a decision known on the 9th. The army was withdrawing all the lar, half of the night. The houses of the settle- ment were vacated earlier, and the lights were left burning. When the morning showed through the great, low-lying smoke clouds, stretching for miles about the settlement, the armies, three and four files deep, were all on the main road, moving north along the eaet side of the rail- way. The battle was still centred north of the ImperiaJ Tombs, with occasional shots along the Hun-ho, where later on an opening, at a point just east of Fulling, allowed the Japanese to make a quick advance and dash towards their main army, thus connecting with their co-operating army cut/ting off the retreating Russian armies. At 11.50 the Japanese partly succeeded, for at Tawan, with shrapnel, they shelled three sides of the rectangle. in which the main Russian army is moving with great difficulty over inadequate, though dry, roads and furrowed fields. The weather was perfect. The Japanese, however, caused at this point nothing more than a, momentary stampede, though there were cases of individual panic, one soldier, crazed with the heat, threatening to shoot me in order to take my bagigage- oart. Yet nearly everywhere I noticed that wlmirable coolnees which distinguished the Russian army throughout the trying retreats of the past year. The line of march was marked for miles by heaps of infantry equipment and baggage- wagons dropped in hasty retreat, for the rapidity of the Japanese movements for the first time proved too much for the Russian precautions to ensure their retirement. The Russians, perhaps, staked more upon the united opinions of a-li their commanders, and risked more than in any previous battle with the Japanese. 'Ihe success of their past retreats inspired the Russians with confidence, and caused them to cling, perhaps, too long to their positions. At dusk the rearguard of the troops and transport had reached Santaitze, ten miles north of Mukden, when suddenly a force of Japanese cavalry opened fire on the Russians -d attacked them with grenades. This unexpected attack demoralised the men and produced a stampede. That the Japanese had succeeded in closing in on the Russian armies striving to get a.way from the extended Hun bridge position was rendered evident by this encounter. On ordering the retreat- Kuropatkin is said to have declared for the satisfaction of the generals who questioned the advisability of the step that, whatever the blame, he would ta-ke it. In the light of subsequent events, he apparently knew best the capacity of his soldiers to go through the ordeal of a retreat. The battie on the right flank, or the battle round Mukden, would seem to be only second to some of the great assaults on Port Arthur in importance. The ground is etill frozen, and the roads are in perfect condition for the transport of baggage and guns.
HOW THE JAPANESE FIGHT I
HOW THE JAPANESE FIGHT I Î IRRESISTIBLE ADVANCE OF THE! INFANTRY, I [Press Association Spocial Sarvica.] I GENERAL QKTFS HEADQUARTERS, March 6 (via Ying-kow, Saturday). (Delayed by Censor.) I witnessed to-day from a small hill two miles to the west the advance and attack on Ka-n-kya-chien, which was finally cap- tured in the afternoon. Kan-kya-chien is a small village situated four miles to the west of the railway. Yesterday, after a hard fight, the Japanese occupied two villages half-armile to the west and north respectively of Kan-kya-chien, the attack on which was begun this morning. A heavy bombardment was opened from field guns and howitzers plaoed behind an abandoned railway embankment a mile to the south-west. The Rue si an guns to the east, of the village replied, and tbeir fire forced the Japanese to bring up more artillery to deal with them. The duel lasted until the afternoon, thousands of shells being ex- changed. The Japanese poured a hail of shells into the village and .the Russian artil- lery positions. The Russians attempted to locate the Japanese batteries, and searched with their On the piaan ect-st of Kan-kya-chien. Hundreds of shrapnel and percussion ehelle from the field guns and 6in. howitzers fell idly, for the Japanese Who showed them. selves on the plain at intervals were mounted orderlies. The Russians also heavily bombarded the villages to the north and east of Kao-kyar ohien. At two o'clock the Japanese bombardment re-doubled in violence, and the storm of ehrapuiol and percuasloii shells which rained on the villages set fire to the roofs ot the Chinese houses. At three o'clock General Oku left the shelter of his tent at the foot of the hill, mounted, and surveyed the scene through his field- glasses. A few minutes later the infantry attack began, the t.a.sk beiug entrusted to the famous division from Northern Japan. I The first stage in the attack was the l advance of a dozen from a village to the north of Kan -kv a^cl ien, They rushed forward a 'hundred yards acrops the plain, and then dropped behind cover. They were followed by another sn-util party, and yet another. Wheal about a company had assembled tinder cover the advance was con- tinued in the same manner. The Russian artillery poured a heavy fire on the assailants, who were badly cut up, but the advance was not checked. Scores of Japanese dropped and remained I where they fell. When others advanced, some of the wounded men painfully rose and I returned to the starting point, braving once more the Russian shells. A party of five started to return, but only one arrived. At the same time the advance began on the western side of the village, the Japanese I advancing in the same mariner from the old railway embankments. A long column struggled forward at wide intervals to rein- force the troops who were holding the wes- tern village. The Russians shelled the advancing men, mercilessly killing and wounding scores, but the forward movement never stopped. Rifle fire from Kan-kya-chien made wide gaps in the advancing force, but, still, the Japanese came on. They could only advance by short rushes, but finally came the last rush, and the men disappeared into the village. The rifle fire was then transferred to the other side pf the village. The Japanese artil- lery re-opened fire, when the capture of the village was announced by telephone. As soon as Kan-kya-chien was taken, the attack ou the next village was begun. The Russians in turn opened a heavy fire on Kan. kya-chien, but they did not succeed in dis- lodging the Japanese, who are continuing by pight their attacks on other villages.

WALES V. IRELAND.
WALES V. IRELAND. PRESS OPINIONS ON THE GAME. Praise for the Victorious Team. I The press generally gives to-day ungrudg- ing praise to the Welsh team for their defeat of Ireland on Saturday, and here- under we give opinions of the principal newspapers: — Yorkshire Post. The Welsh forwards played rather better than against Scotland, while they were splen- didly nursed by Gwyn Nicholas, whose kick- ing into touch was quite a feature of the game. ISicholIs a-Iso brought off some iine tackles, and justified his revival. It may be added that lie played against his will. M'Lear was the best of the Irish, but he did more spoiling than running, and might with advantage have been more selfish. Losing the toes probably lost Ireland the match and the championship under the conditions obtaining. Yet, there was little to choose between the sides, and the Irishmen are to be congratu- lated on playing Wales such a close game on Welsh soil under circumstances that were all in favour of the home side. All the same, the Welsh team are to be complimented upon the handsome way in which they have beaten a.il comers in the season's international tournament. Ireland are a good second, and it is left for England and Scotland to fight at Richmond next week for the Calcutta Cup- and also the "wooden spoon." The Sportsman. By virtue of their success at Swansea the Welsh team become champions in the inter- national tourney. They last secured this honourable distinction in the season of 1901- 2, tShanke in a great measure to the exer- tions of their pack. In the present year the forwards have again contributed their full share, aided and abetted by well-skilled backs. The play was remarkable for the fact that it was not at all typical of that associated with Wales. Apparently the Welshmen had firmly settled in their own minds that the chief menace to their championship aspira- tions was 'to be expected from the Irish for- wards, who had so unexpectedly trained their hopes last year at Belfast. With this object in view, they determined to keep the Irishmen scrimmaging. This plan of cam- paign answered its purpose, amd was really the secret of the Welsh victory. The ctose tactics did not afford the Welsh threes" many chances as offensive players, rut Gabe and NiahoDs were notably conspicuous for their tackling. No three-quarter player can take a pass better than Morgan, who is without an equal in his position. h, i 2, position. Morning Post. It was a great triumph for the Welsh for- wards. Ireland were beaten at their own game. The Welshmen showed that the opinion of those judges who were confident that Wales possessed an ideal paok was in no degree ill-founded. No side ever scrim- maged better; none ever played more effec- tively in the loose. There can be no doubt now that Wales possesses the finest fifteen of the year, and everyone should be ready to congratulate the Welsh Union on the spleoidid success of their players this season. There was, no doubt, some disappointment among the large company at Swansea that we had no bouts of wonderful passing from the Welsh players. But the cause of this is readily explained. The exigencies of the moment had to be met. Wales was trying aji inexperienced international in Wyndham Jones as the "stand-off" half-back, and, in oonseque-noo. it was decided that the for- wards should go on with the ball as much as possible. The risk of merely holding the scrimmagc and heeling was too great against a set of forwards of such pace and such quickness on the ball as the Irishmen. The Welshmen's change of tactics succeeded excellently. Sporting Life. By virtue of her victory over Ireland at Swansea on Saturday Wales has come out triumphant in the in tor national tourney, and is entitled to wear the triple crown. Wales has a, stronger front rank this season than she has had for many years. The Principality developed the modern pas. ing game at the loss of honest forward play, the scrimmagers being merely expected to heel out to the men behind the pack. But now they have changed their tactics, and it is by her forwards that Wailas has in turn defetak,ed England, Scotland, and Ireland. The Irishmen failed iu a most unexpected fashion, for they held the lead for the first half-hour when playing against a strong wind, while the Welshmen did not lose heart after being headed. The long journey told against the visitors, more tban one of whom waa decidedly off colour. "The better side won," says our Welsh cor- respondent. "The game was a peculiar one, being a blend of Irish and Welsh strong scrimmaging and science combined. The Irish were handicapped by the softness of the ground, whilst the Welshmen had the luck to win the toss. The Irishmen were true to tradition with their rushes. They, however, had not the same dash as they displayed against England and Scotland. It was for- tunate that the Cymric side had such a reso- lute defender as Gwyn Nicholls. The unerring tackling of man and ball by the veteran was splendid. The best of the Welsh forwards were Travers and Jack Williams. The latter was good in all stages of the game. Owen was great in defence. Of the Irishmen there was not a single man who stood out aa a conspicuous figure." Glasgow Herald. The championship nas been won by Wales, who managed to clear this last obstacle with greateT ease than was generally expected The Irishmen, it appears, had a bad passage, M'Lear suffering more than any of the others, and all that, no doubt, told somewhat against them. Still, they played a plucky game, and proved themselves one of the best and most scientific combinations that ever represented the Emerald Isle. Early in the game Robinson scored for Ireland, but the place failed, and after a long spell of give- and-take work Jones and Morgan scored in quick succession, and, with Davies converting both tries, IVales at the end of the first half led by seven points. Scotsmen generally will share in appreciation of the splendid efforts which have crowned the Principality with the greatest honour of the year. Freeman's Journal. I hare no hesitation in saying that the better team won. and Wiles thoroughly deserveg her victory. For the first twenty minutes the Irishmen, chiefly owing to the dash of their forwards, had the better Of matters, and when Robinson eoored a try shortly after the start matters looked well for the representatives of the Shamrock. However, the Irish forwards could not maintain the strong pace they set themselves, and the heavier Welsh pack coming away irresistibly took the ball to the Irish 25, where Wyndham Jones got possession, and, fooling the Iri £ h back3, dodged over for a try between the posts, and Davies converted. Scarcely a minute had ela-peerl when the Welshmen were again attacking, the ball being sent out to Morgan on the left wing. He sprinted in finely for a try, which "Davies converted wtfji as brilliant an effoti. as ever wa-i witnessed Oil an international ground. With the wind in their favour t.he Irishmen WÐr", expected to do better in the sooond half, but, although they kept, the ball for most of the tima in Welsh territory, their methods of attack were weak, whilst. the Tf.ffies showed a i-onnd defence, and, being quite content with their led, never risked opening out th" game. In fact. I was disap- pointed in not seeing some of their customary brilliant passing bouts, but. of course, the wind was much against it. Samming up. I must say that the Welshmen were superior to the Irishmen at both forward and back, their weight in the scrimmages having a very telling effect on the somewhat soft ground. levies, at back. played fflendidly for Wales, and only once was be in danger. and that was when M'Lear tackled him in possession. Llewellyn and Morgan were, undoubtedly, the pick of the thrvee-quarters. but Gwyn Nicholls appeared to be only a shadow of the past. Owen played splendidly at half-back, and was the hero of the match, ajid Wyndham Jones, who at first was faulty, subsequently improved. Of an even set of forwards Harding, Hodges. Nedll. and Watkins were always to the fore. Landers, at full-back for Two- land, had a difficult task set him, and. on the whole. lie CIHpê out of the ordeal N-ilb credit, but he was not so brilliant as Davies. M'Lear. although well marked, did an immense lot of fine work amongst the Irish throe-quarters, where he tackled finely. Thrift also was seen to much advantage, but the chances did not go his way. Parke was unreliable, and Moffatt was dead off colour, and was the weakest spot in the line. In fact, he let the Irishmen down badly on several occasions. Caddell and Robinson both played all they knew at half-back, but were outclassed by the Welsh pair. Prominent amongst the Irish forwards, who all worked hard, were Wallace, Tedford. Hamlet, and Knox, but they were beaten by a more sturdy set, and I congratulate Wales on ones again winning the triple crown.
