Passing Pteasantries. I A TALE OF A WINE CELLAR. I The following ptory is told at the expenêe tf a. member of the London Stock Exchange. 3e was a man who enjoyed his wine, and always took care of it when he happened to ?tck up a choice- vintage. He chanced to buy t cask of fine oM port. which he had placed t.t the end of hie; ceUar; and to make sure '.hat it should not be touched he t?ad a wall bailt across the ctellar. and so cloat'd it in. It was about a. year or two later that he one evMiing accented an invita.tiou to dine with hia nett-door neighbour, when J'n' I latter brought out. some very fine old port. Bevl gtaBees 'having been druni:, the man of atocKa and ehstres. recognising its excel- lent quality, aakfd .hia host where he could tet eome port like iit. Well, old felloe, returned the other. "I will let you into a secret, but don t say RllytNDg aJbo<rt it. I was iM-v-ing some altera.- ttMis made in my cellar lately, when we dis- covered that some old fool who lived in this house before me had built a wall round a large caiSk of port and forgot all about it. We have nearly Bnished it now." HIS. LAST tBESOUTBCt;. I A 't?tH-known sctHorbor a.u<l K.C. teUa <)tM I JoUowimg a.t]t?<'<lob& about has <'allo'w day.

STORY FOR TO-DAY. Moasick s Pre-emption "Well. no. She's not ezac'ly mine, nor yet. my wife's: but we claim her aU the same." These remark.'1 referred to a. remarka.bly nne. not to say formidable-looking, young woman, who had just reined a. high.mettled young horse out of the home gate into the town ward lane. Take the kinks out of him." said the old man. as he closed the gate behind the cavort- ing steed. To which remark the fair horse- woman m<Mle reply by nmging kisses from her whip hand. and dashing a-way into a cloud of dust. Yec." he said. in response to my further question. she's my ga.I. but she's not my da'ter. nor she mn't my wife's da'ter." Brother s ? No. No relation to either of us by blood." Watt ? I dunno much what a. waif rightly is. I call her & peremtion." Do you mean a. pre-emption ? I asked gently. Well. no matter if ye call it a. per-emtion, or a pree-emtion," he answered a. sbttde te&tily. What I mean is, that I took her up as a wild ciaim on the unsurveyed lands of the U.S. "Well," and I laughed a little as I a-aswered, that. another way of get-ting children." Purty good way, though, if ye happen to get the kind that suits ye ad well as that'n suits me." Seems to be & &ae horgewoman." I said, haif musingly, as we were approaching the entrance to the house. Step in." he said; the door's open. and that ohows ye the old woman d not to home. and the way she'll raise Cain, and lectur' on nies, when she does come home will be music in this camp, you bet you i" and the man chuckled inwardly until he developed a touch of asthma that set! him coughing in a way that was more comi- ca.f than serious. When I get into that kind of a cough." he said, resuming, I mos' gin'ely take a little old rye and loaf sugar." And so saying he led me into the dining- room of his comfortable farmhouse, askedi me to be seated, while he opened the lower half-doors of his dish cupboard, and, bring- ing out a sugar-bowl, spoons, glasses, and a cut-glass decanter, he said gently and inter- rogatively, Try a little?" Whether I tried a little, or whether I did not, is a que.<;tion open to debate, which may be settled by each reader according to his or her view of what a man ought to do in such a situation. Sumee it to say, that I be- lieve the man supported the genuineness of i his hospitality with a critical and broadly judicious care of the quality of the articles ha extended to his guests. Now." said he, when he had carefully replaced the implements of hospitality in the cupboard, let's go out to the barn, and see the colts. There is where I can talk best. Though I ain't a fust-class talker no time I can get on better when I'm seeing a good, healthy colt reaching for his hay. 1 "The way I peremted Lainey was this. I, was in California when the Beese River mining excitement broke out in Nevada in j 1862. and wasn't doing much good. I bought a little cheap Mexican jackass, packed my blanket, grub. tools, and cooking outfits, upon his back. took the road behind his tail, a.nd went afoot into thp Nevada mountains away, east of Reege River, determined to nnd a silver mine. I had a little money on hand, and a little more coming to me from goodt men, when I started. I sunk it all in t,wu years and worked hard, but found nothing in the mining way wuth talking a-bout. In the -HunnMtr of '64 I he-ard o-f the drout in California, and how cattle and horses were dying there of hunger, -while where I was there was a.ny amount of good hose grass. Now is my chance. I thought. I'm losing bij? money not having stock to eat this grass. I took my jackass and started from. JTadtent Nevada, on foot a4ong the over- laid poad for California, calculating to fetch h)M'9ps on the shares to .Nevada. Besides my jackass I had aleo a dog—a dog that peremted me—a mixed dog-a kind of St. Bernard a.nd shepbeT-d dog—a.nd he wae a mighty wiæ dog. On the t=ta.ge-road them days there was no houses—no houses anywhere near it—only the sables a.nd ostlers' quarters at stations &ftecn to twenty-nve miles apart. At the&e statics -weren't no women or families—just men, and mighty hard citizens most of Uiem men was. There being no place to stop at or fool away time on, I kept- right ahead. day af!.er day. my peroeasion. There was fust the jack, then me, then the dog. one behind the other, all as solemn as could be. I wasn't feeling no ways <-)h«erful myseLf, but by the looks of things when my face -wasnt too thick with dust. I was the cheer- fulest of the lot. If the jaok wasn't solemn, his looks belied him, and, as for that dog. Nep. being a black dog, with a down tail, I think he wa.e the most serious critter I ever did see. He seamed mostly to be on the point of going to eleep, but he wasn't half aa sleepy he was sleepy-looking. There waa mighty little carrying on day or night within a. half mile of him that he didn't sabe. And the fondest dog he was of little children that ever I saw. Well. I aaed to make. with my solemn little percession, twenty to thirty mites a da.y, and, aa I had aJbout eight hundred miles to go, ye see. including delays. I -wa.6 in for a months steady tramping. Some days I would travel for hoars with one or another of the west- bound immigrant waggons or trains as they came creeping along toward the end of the hard journey across the contine.nt. foot- sore. weary, dusty, and dilapidated. These tra-ms had children with 'cm of all ages. and when my dog got in among them children he was happy. He walked right up, raised hia drooping tail, au<i was a new dog. One night after I had made a very long and mighty tedious day's tramp, I thought the dog was mighty unsettled about something; but after rousing up 30 couple of timea and .Qnding nothing. I laid down and fell into a very heavy sleep, from which I did not wake until near sunrise I don't suppose I should have awoke when I did. only that I thought I heard a child's voico saying: 'Oo mus' not make such a big noise wiz 00 nose! I Well. sir, I opened my eyea. aod there, sta-nding beside my face. was a four-year-old girl. holding Nep by the ear with one hand, and shaking the fore&nger of Hie other at me. repeating: 'No; oo mus' not make such a big noise.' I was not. and 1],(Wer had been. married. up to that time. and didn't know much about children, but I began right, there to feel like n father. I took the btue-eyed. red- cheeked, whtte-bairpd plumpness, and sitting her upon my breast. I was juat going to com- men<}e ta-Iking to her. when she said. pointing: Look at oo dog.' Aad. suMyetQoagh. there was thaA fool dog a tearing around Kunp. <t-waHoppJing hia fait on the ground, and every now and again jumping high over me .Mid the young one, as if he bad plum lost hid natteral senses. Ra the gladdest dog I ever see. 'Now.' aaid I to the young lady, 'what is your name?" Where did you live ? ow Where does your mamma live? 'Oh. my other -n'MMcnna. dead' The bad angina killed her. Now me's got attotrher Where does the .new mamma live?' In ow wagon.' Where ia the wagon? Down there, poil1.t.inc -forward. Down where?' eaid I. riauM; witj!. -4,OOj child in my arms. pointing aga-n. ?n<?4?M!r&?n??ajiy waaoc'Tda<MB='<'h? ? J 'Xb. oo ask'c dog He knows! t "I looked inquiringly at Nep. but. he bad' faik;u into b.M old, solemn. sleepy looks'again. I Where did you sleep t&st night?" Oo know. I sleeps wiz oo and 'etdog.' I held the child in my arms, and looked aJl about the ?age-covered plain. and< up and down the loceeome, desolate dust line of read. but I co)?d*&&e no sign of catinp'smokc, nor any object indicating civilisation. ? How far did you walk to come here?' "'Oh! sueh a long. long way—me and 'e dog. I so tired I go to sleep, and 'e dog tiss me in 'e face and wake me up; then—then— we walk a long way some more. and. come bt-re to sleep wiz oo.' Well. mow. Miss Lainey, you set right down here on the blankets, alongside, of the dog', until I get us some breakfast,' and I' l put the child out of my arms. I Me vewy hungwy.' "'All right: We'll soon have some break- fast. Which do you Uke. Miss Lainey, tea. or coSee?' Tonee, and heaps of augaw.' And so, chattering along to the child. I fu&f?d a-round until I got our little breakfast ready in the midst of the wilderness- She w" a very hearty young lady. and did justice to my rough efforts to please her I pa.Ia.te. and after breakfast she insisted on a large pan of hot water to 'wass 'e disses,' but I as I could not afford that luxury in the midst i of perpetual drought, we compromised the matter by my agreeing to let her ride on the top of the pt?ck-animal s neck. This arrange- ment delighted her no little for a- while, and also suited me first-rate, until she got iiMo the :tdea. of standing up like a circus rider. She never had much &enae of fear. I argued, and even scolded against this circus businese, but it was -no use, and finally gave her a ropes end in each hand. which suited her mighty nne. until she got too sleepy, and laid down on the top oi the pack and fell fast asleep, while I walked beside the pack to see th.*t she didn't fall off. I didn t reckon we should go far without hearing inquiries for a lest child, yet, as I passed immigrant, wagons, and was passed by other immigra.Mt wa?go?. they had none of them lost a child or beard of a child being lost. My little percession wasn't quite so solemn after we got Lainey, cof the dog. instid of walking behind with his tail drooped, now marched in front with tail and head up; and Canary. calculating to keep up with the dog, stepped a heap more lively than he did before. and ye-hee-hawed splendidly. And now, if you think that when Ltiney wa.a standing up on top of Canary's pack that we wasn't some circus, ye'r mistaken. I got some changes of clothes for Lainey here and there from immigrant women, piece at a time, and by the time I got down into the coast counties—cow counties some calls 'cm—I was mighty handy in taking caj'e of that young lady. I got down to my stopping place well on into November, turned my jack out on to the ra.nche, rented a little cabin in the little town —not such a very little town. and went to keeping house and attending to my boss speculation. I hired an old Mexican womaji to look after Lainey when I wasn't at home. At last it came to Christmas Day. and I had Lainey by the hand, going up street as big as could be. to fill her stocking, when we meets a lady, and down drops that lady on her knees on the walk right in front of us. and. reaching out her arms, she said: "'Lainey Woods' Lainey Woods' Thank God. I have found you at last And that lady took my baby into hef arms and began kissing her. I "Weil, it cut me &o to the quick, tha.t I stla?rted away without saying a word. a?id would have left. but the little one wouldn't st<md no such non?en?. and came a-crying and tearmg aJter me, dragging the woman by the hand. HeO my papa-my new papa. I won't stay wiz nobody but him.' Well, you see, to shorten a. long story, the lady and me we talked it all over, how she was La.iney'3 mother's friend, how the Indians had killed Lainey's mother, ajtd how disease and grief had killed the father-how disease had prostrated the friend-how Lainey had wan- dered off in the desert in the night-how part of l,ainey's {atber'o property, consisting mostly of fine broodmares, was left over in Ke'vada. temporarily in charge of the overland stage company-in fact, how all theae needed a. mta,n to look after them. So it came a.bout, one way with another, that I married the lady, fathered the child, and got into the I boss business. Which being just what I wanted to do, makes me free to say that wild per-emtion H!. the desert was a purty lucky lay out." Yes. indeed, very lucky," I said. But now, after all, dah't it aeom to you aa if that black dog went ofF in the night and stole that young 'un?" Here the venerable Moas?ck had a slight ae.thjma.tio paroxysm, and as we walked towards the gate out of which Quien Sabe and his rider had made their picturesque departure he nnally suc- ceeded in aa.ying :— Well! That browa colt's yours for just what I told you. Say the word and I'll hold him for you for moe' any reasonable length of time." I said the word, and I'll put up the money; but I'm not going to be in a, hurry about taking that brown cott" away from the scenes of his childhood. If I were a. married man. it might be different—but I've got my eye on Moasick's pre-emption.

I Legaf Tit-bits. I PO!NTS OF LAW tHTERESTtNQ TO EVERYBODY. The Form of Leases A lease for a term of Uiree years or up- wards must be in writing and under seal.

Although a. lease for three years or upwards must be under aeal, an agreement for such a leaee need not be under seal. acd a lease for three years or upwards not under seal may be en- forced as an agreement ?for a lease.

REFEREE DISGUSTEDI BRUTAL FOOTBALL MATCH AT ABERDARE. Serious Charges Made by the Neath P!ayers. Writing with reference' to the-Aberdare v. Ne&th football match. played on the farmer club's ground, the rough play at which was reported in the Football Express" on Saturday, our Aberdare correspondent saya: The game was the rougheat played during this or any other seafvon on the Aberdare en- closure. To say that there were only a few scenes of absolutely unQece?ary brute foroe would be but a mild description of the matt;h. &o that no nurpr'eie need ? evinced at the fact that a placer was turned oS the &eM, and that the referee hiic&elf left the Seld. apparently with aa air of utter disgust, about ten minatsa before the final whittle. To employ the words of the referee, "the game was stopped owing to ronghiieee on the part of b<jth teams," but the significant look which he betrayed while thus expressing him- setf snpplied the inrerenoe that a lot more ie likely to be h-eard of the incidents. After the .match the Aherdare committee met at the Boot Hotel for the purpose of con- sidering the conduct of the Nea.th players. After eome discussion, the following resolu- tion wag unanimously passed:—"That, taking into consideration the treatment meted out to the Aberdare players both a.t Neath and on the home enclosure to-day, all nrtores with Neath be cancelled for the future." THE NEATH VERS!ON. I Suggestions of Barbaric I Behaviour. Oar Neath representa.tive writes:—The Ne-ath pJayera amd the membera of the Nea;th comniittee who witn'essed the match" are emphatic in their condemnation of the alleged unsportemanlilM behaviour of the Aberdare teo.m, Mr. ToTn Jomes, the trear surer, going aa far a. to say tha.t if nxtures be arranged wit<h them for next aetason he will for ever aever his connection with local footb&il. In an interview which our Neath representative had with him on Sun- day Mr. Jones said that 6<yme of I the Aberdarians commenced questionable tactica just after t-ite game started, l and these soon developed i-nto methcds which were absolutely barbaric. Occ play.: Uw: like a madman. He (Mr. Joces) proceeded to describe several of the regrettable incidents I which took pla<*e, and in conclusion expressed the hoW that the Welah Union and the Nea?ttb. committee would a, firm. 8ta.nd in the I interesta of foo?ba.11 in particula.r a<nd. sport generally. To in a.t any price was a principle tha.t should be put down with an iron ha.nd. I have been playing football for many years." said Evan Arnold, vice-captain, whom our representative saw later in the after- noon, but I have never taken part in a game in which anything approaching such roughness was shown. Johnny Thoma.e, our inside half, was badly mauled, and is feel- ing the effects to-day. Tommy Jonea was knocked clean out, and rendered unconscious for some time; Bill Jonea was punched in the eye, D. H. Daviea had his forehead cut badly, and stitches had to be put in the wound by an Aberdare doctor; and Dan Davies was deliberately charged by two men when he was not near the ball. The referee did his beat, but he was quite enable to con- trol the Aberdare men, although he sent one of them off the ground, and be had to stop the game eighteen minutes before time. Per- sona-IIy, I was not sorry, because play had become so nerce that a more serious acci- dent might have happened." A spectator of the game. and an Abcr- darian, too, told our reporter that the game was most brutal, and he hoped never to see another like it. Mr. Howel Jones, the oaptain of the Neath Clab, in the course of a conversation on Sunday evening, ea.id that the conduct of the Aberdare players was disgraceful. He had never witnessed such brutality in his life. "We expected a rough game." be went on. "but I hardly b?ltercd the warnings I received before the match that D. H. Davios, Bill Jones, and myeetf were marked for special attention were founded on fact. But now I know they -were true. The Aberdare men have effectually put an end to D. H. Daviee s football career, and to that of my brother Bill. I escarped all right, but I had at least one narrow squeak of being bit cut. I remonstrated with the player who tried to charge me. and aaked him if he did not know the whistle had blown, and the reply I had was: 'No, you I didn't hear the —— whistle go.' We are, I learn, accused of having walked off the Scld. but wo did not do so until the referee said he would stand it no longer, and blew his whistle for time. I am also told that Aberdare ha.Te decided to cancel tlioi r fixtures with Meath. That will not throw dust in the eyes of the Welsh Union or the Ne-ath Club. They treated us abominably, and never again will the Neath Club, if I can help it, have any- thing to do with Abor.Glare. Why, an Aber- dare player ma de a boast that they had been wiping off an old score. Is that the spirit in which football should be played? If so, the sooner it is banned by re8pecta.b!e society the better." Bill Jones. tha.n whom a better gportsma.n does not exist, was standing by at the tump. and, pointing' to his eye. saj<l: "This is an ffidep.ce of brutality which speaks for itseJf. The slightest bit nea.rer, and I should ha,ve I toet it altogether." Act)(Mi oy the Neath Committee I I lea-rc on reliable authority that the Nea-th committee will consider the affair on Monday evening, a.nd ?ill make strong rel)rewntatioua to the Welsh Union.

HOW GtANF MACHNOW KEEPS I HEALTHY. Match now, the Russian giant, for some little time past has been the centre of attrac- tion in London, and his remarkable appetite, no less than his enormous proportion in height and weight, has created a sensation. He is not a gourmand, but his daily bill of fare in quantity and quality is enough to cause astonishment. About two quarts of milk or tea, sixteen hard-boiled eggs. and six gs, and six to eight Mnall loaves and butter provide the giant with a morning repast; whilst a lun- cheon at noon oansiate of from two to three pounds of meat, five pounds of potatoes, and a quart of beer. For dinner he has eoup, three to five pounds of meat, fowl. Sen. vegetables, potatoes, three pounds of bread, and one to two quarts oJ beer. The day is ctosed with a supper of ten to fifteen eggs. wit.h bread and butter, and one quart of tea. There are also a few "extras" in the way of refreshments. To partake of su''h a vast quantity of food without experiencing ill-effects therefrom might be regarded as marvellous, but Mach- now has been generous enough to unfuld the gecret of his wonderful digestive powers. Through hi)-' manager, the giant has just written a letter to the proprietors of Bile Beans, the well-known vegetable specinc, which readt}:— "It may interest you to learn that Machnow. the Russian giant, whom I am introducing at the London Hippodrome. is a great beiiever in Bile Beans. After cue of his customary heavy meats he finds them an excellent aid to the digestion a,nd a s<i.fe and valuable aperient medicine. Before uaing Bile Beans Machnow bad to rely on the uaual cathartics, but he nnda Bile Beans far superior to all ordinary and old-fashioned remedies. Because the giant owes his robust health in no small degree to Bile Beans I think it right you should know the fact. You are at liberty to use this testimonial as you think St. I am. yours faathfuHy. "For Giant Feodor Machnow. "O?CAR FLACHS. Maziagi-x." Beins: composed wholly of vegetable sub- stances and essences.

TH)RTY PC! NTS to <<E- I THIRTY POINTS to r:,4E::1 Bridgend's Big Score on Sat u rd ay* REFEREE HARRY BOWEN TELLS THE STORY. Special to evening Express. 1 —— t All the world knows that what Cardiff is to Newport, and Llanelly is to Swansea, Maeateg is to Bridgend. They are near neighbonrs; nar enough to be 00 back-wall talking terms, they have patiently watched ) each other with a Scotland yard watch for yeara and years and years, and know each otheTs ina and out, they understand each others whys and wherefores, and the result of all these, the cantiguity, the dog-like watch- ing, and the thought-reading is. that they love each other with a step-brotherly love, aye, even more. with a love that busteth up all understanding. Thus it easily mustereth as fact that their meetins days arc Derby days, when the sky becomes lurid, and men wajk about with their teeth on the grind. Usually speaking, these days are great days in more senses than the little question of survival of the nttest. They are days for the replenishing of 'the exchequers of both clubs. Be the match at Bridgend, then will the Maesteg merchants put up their shut- ters, don their best clothes, and take the entire excursion train accommodation for the conveyinK of their humanity to Bridgend. Be the match at Maesteg. than the Bridgend county class men hastily change their neckties and laboriously inquire their way to the one siding that their select excursion always starts from. Prince Arthur, in order to be in time, comes home early from selling veins of coal to Swansea, mind merchants, and saunters to the siding reflectively ransacking his teeth with a tooth pick. Tom becomes the Kitchemer of class- dom, and jerks orders out with teetotal dry- ness, and last, always lait, but never least, nor lost, comes Joe. the Iamb, helpless, but helping, speaking when he's spoken to, other- wise smilingly silent, or wrapt in thought and a muffler. But Saturday was not one of the usually speaking Derby days. There was an absence of something, and. moreover, a subdued mystery hung in the air. There was something wrong with the visit- ing, as well as with the residential, faces. It was not the matter of victory or defeat that prodnced those 600wls of 3nonuniental magnitude on the usually urbane face Bpsbce of each opposition; it was not that, for I had seen the both &ets quite happy under win or loss anticipations. Neither was it the time of the kick-on' that wrinkled them. for thig waei fixed for a quar- ter to nve—a. time late enough to please the moat fastidious of sun-hating complexion mongers. Quarter to five would mean nve, with A Firush at Vespers I No, the trouble was not of these. It was there, though, as thtok- as a fog. You had only to look at Reea Hughea. the Maesteg mascot, to know that life was languid and lumbersome to him just then. Bees, the most telling talker of tit-bits in the Valley, was silent—eubduedly silent, a-ltRcat neoody. What was resT?nsible for this? The answer soon came. "They're playing 3faesteg Seconds to-day," said & breezy voice from the hills. This was followed by a. laugh. What in the world was this for? Why were the Bridgend Firsts playing the Maesteg Seconds ? And then it all came ont. A little something had happened in the Mountain Ash versus Maosteg match at Maeateg early in Februajry. For this little something the ground hiad been closed by the union. One of the Saturdays occurring during the suspe'nsiou of the ground was that of February 11. the date, of one of the Derby days, and so one of the Maeatcg copper-filling dates. Seeing this, the Maestegitea endeavoured to pen&oade Bridgend to come on some other date, ciear of the suspended period.

Truly, the deaa pomy had rtaen om the a?bee of itg, dead sedf to higher things. The grand stajid having been appropriated by thezentlemenof the fourth estate, a start was made, the tea-ms who made it bein<; found to carry the following significant or insignifkcaut names:- Bridgend: Back. D. J. Grimths (vice Pennell): three-quarter backs, Thoma-s Matthews (captain). W. M. Edwards, W. J. Bull, and J. Davics; half-backs, D. M'Clell&n and George Cameron; forwards, W. Taytor, E. James, G. Tayior, D. Davies, T. Grimtha, I. Kingdoni, D. Thoinaa. and T. Guildford. Maesteg: Back. J. Roberts: three-quarter backs, Harrison. Kichards. Uoyd. and M. Gilbert; half-backs. D. Davies and T. J. Davies; forwards. Ackerman (captain). J. Owens, W. Close. T. Bumett, W. Thomas, A. Bees, D. Watts, and J. Thomas. The two previoua contests had been won by Macoteg. Their chances of the trio of victories were hopeless with but one of their nrat team playing. It was a bit of a surprise to see the second team youngsters holding their own for thb nrst quarter of an hour. The home team rfcoxnisitu; the lightness of their task, failed to iully fxtend themselves. A couple of forwarde, names not mentioned this time, pining for glory without the work of it, neglected to scrimmage. This meant that the halves could not get the ball served out properly. W. M. Edwards had work found him in defence during this period, and J. Grimtha, though lacking innmon vbgkqjud accomplished it well. The Bridgend back, D. J. Grimthg. though lacking in confidence ga.ve nothing away, a.nd he and Edwards can share the praise of preventing a score when Bridgend were smoothing their plumes and wondering at their own greatneas. The Maesteg haJvee, the Daviea family, by perfectly legitimate play knocked a few unrehearsfd attta?-kinj: moves by the home backs completely on the head, and finding how I *A)) rights of re-pt'oduction of th!s Articte, or any portion of it, reserved by the, Proprietor&-of the- Eyening SMoesafuily they m&na.g'ed it were emboldened to cut away tbemsclv'ef and nea.rly score.

James, Danes. and Tom GraSiths playing a keen game in front. This progressed them to the Maesteg 25, where the ball was horned by Bull and car- ded gaily along. Bull did the running. the crowd did the roaring, and were climaxing up to a. n.naJ combined blastisaimo when Lloyd came up and tc-ok Bull by the horns, that is to say, legs, and' equoze hun for love. Thja set the Bridgend appetite kee'n for a&methmg taj]git)le to feed on. but Roberts ai back and Ackerman in front, on different oc,ca-s-lonti and in diH'ereo.t ways, dulled the I edge of it a bit. Edwards it w.M that started Hie bleedmg. From the liDe-out Nigthews, Tommy for brevity, aeeured it and gave to Edwards. Solid Williams took the gift at top speed, and, allowing his size amd his legs to force and help him along, he scored try number one. Try number two came from a nice round of passing, in which several men took part. The tr&nosfers were too easy for ordinary first team work, there being a want of chuck in the tra-n?fereBce. but aga-inst the.? youngsters, plucky though they were, it served. Try after try came now with mono- tonous regularity. Of this batch the one scored by M'CleIIan was the piok, his nnal dash being worthy in the extreme. The final try of the first half by Ball was neatly worked, but the reeiata/nce at thia period was wetaJt, it being left to OB<e man to try and stop his progreaa as he ran to better the goat-kicking position.

What the Qr&t half had been the second turned out to be so only less. The white- shirted singleteers had had enough racing about in the nrst half, and sighed for the I sound of the siren giving the finish. Ackerman, who worked really hard, told I me in a loud secret that he was not going to kill himself any more. And, having said I so, he disbelieved his own statement and Went on Kitting Himsetf I W. Taylor roused himself during the I second half, and showed he had class in his ) bones. D. Davies bustled about to some pur- pose, too. Not satisned with two goala and four tries, the homesters tried their hardest to put up some more. But, as in the nrst half, they were a long time making an impression. Faulty passing had most to do with this. But once more nettled by the cries of Play up Seconds," they opened up a nice movement on the right through M'ClelIan and the threequar- ters. which led to a score. This was not con- verged, but the next and final score by the ca.pta.in, T. Mathewa, was guided between the posts by the foot of the Civil Service. Mathews's try was got by worrying along. Be had on a previoua occasion found that the opposing ba,oka did not grip convincingly enough and had got away from several pairs of bands. Remembering this, be, when in possession in the visiting 25, made a bolt for it. By the process of exhaustion, the opposition died away as soon as the nrst defence was passed, and the easy score resulted. The reet of the game calls for no comment. Taking generally the second team the visitors had played pluckily, but, of course, were no match for the home premiers. Final score: Final score: (7. T. P'ts.

If he lives, has health and strength. and grows, he is likely to sit on the front bench.

Gymnastics. WELSH CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL TI E. The final tie for the championship of the Welsh Amateur Gymnastic Association took place at the University Settlement-haJI. Car- diff, on Saturday evening, between the Car- diff St. Saviour's and the Newport Athletic Club teams. In the eemi-nnal round St. Saviour's bad beaten AbertiIIcry and Newport had lowered the colours of St. Mark's (New- port). Mr. C. W. Spalding. of Abertillery, was the sole judge, and the contest, which, as expected, was a very keen one, was witnessed by a crowded gathering numbering between 700 and 800. The items for competition were dumb-bells (mass), parallel bars, high jump. and rope climbing. Newport secured a lead of nine points on the nrst two items. but St. Saviour's, nothing daunted, wiped off the whole of the arrears by their splendid jump- ing. and increasing their advantage at the rope climbing, they eventually won by 13 points, thus repeating their victory of last year over the same club. The best jump was 6ft. lin. by Pro.thero, of Newport, who would probably have cleaned a, few inches higher, but for the fact that he woe suffering from a. slight accident sustained recently. Parry, the Newport captain, was the moat successful at rope-climbing. scaling 41ft. The St. Saviour's men were the more oon- sjstent scorers,. The competition w<m con. ducted in the best of spirit, and was, fortu- nately. free from accidents of any kind. The spectators took the liveliest interest in the ppooeedinga, and though, naturally, they were highly <M!thusiast.ic at the result.. they cheered both sides im.partia.lly. At the conclusion of the competition Councillor Chappell pretMaited medals to the winners, a,nd also to ca-ptajn and instructor of the losing team. Mr. Frk-d Huxtable, the Newport instructor, in a, very 8portsmanlike little speeh declared that the better tea-m had undoubtedly won. The judg- ing, he s?kl. had given complete satisfaction. ITe urged St. Saviour's to go in 'for some of the more importa-nt competitions open to them. Councillor Thomas proposed a vote of thanks to the judge and to the univer&ity authorities for granting the use of the hall. S!00t<aa:— NEWPORT. P.ir<dlel Jump. Rope. T'tl. Bart!. A.

LOCAL AMUSEMENTS I THEATRE ROYAL, CARDtFF I Mr. Redford is giving Cardiff theatre-goers a treat this week at the Theatre Royal. with Robert Marshall's comedy, The Duke of EiUicra.nkie." ?e piece, which is being pla.yed by Charges Frohman and Arthur Chudleigh's company, had a great run at the Criterion Theatre, London. KtNG'S THEATRE, CARDtFF I why Woman Sins," under Mr. Fred. Jenning's direction, will be the offering &t the Westgate-?treet hout?e this week. This drama, has always created intense interest, and will, no doubt, do the same again this time. The cast includes a number of local favourites—Messrs. Jackson Hayes and Edward Brutter. and Mesdamea Susanc Eiggiore and Dorothy Cleavis. There is the same lavish mounting and dressing as heretofore. THE EMPtRES' I Cardiff I btx huge sea-hona will give a wonderful performance at the Cardiff Empire this week. Captain Woodward is their trainer, and to see them perform is to be struck with sur- prise at the wonderful intelligence they exhibit. The Klein Family of "sensational" cyclists will also provide an astonishing act. Until recently this troupe were performing at the London Hippodrome. Probably the most remarkable part of their act is that in which the entire troupe, each mounted on a single wheel, rides round the stage. At the same time each member constitutes himself and herself a part of an orchestra of no mean order, rendering popular airs in perfect unison, whilst performing feats on their wheels that the layman might be excused for imagining required all their attention to accomplish. The remainder of the pro- gramme is of a lengthy and novel character, and includes Celeste. Preston and Balmaine, Barton and Franklyn, Grisse Bros., Arthur Lennard, Lizzie Fletcher, and Georgie May. Newport I Two remarkable little men arrive at the Newport Empire to-day. They are the Brothers Rossow, the tiniest of the world's midgets. They recently appeared at the London Hippodrome with great success. The little fellows are brought before the audience standing on the hands of their manager. They are like lightning in their movements, and when they enter a liliputian ring erected for a six-round contest they set-to with all the ardour, alacrity, and determination of the prize-nghters of old.

I WAS WORST IN ? SPRtNG!" I A WORKER'S STARTLING STORY. I IRRITATING ERUPTIONS ENDED BY ZAM-BUK. I AU who a'rc so'redy tpCtuMed with ekin. eruptiona at this season should lay to heart the personal experience of Mr. Frederick Perry. cabinet maker, of 45, Pritobard-street, Binningha.m. To a Sunday Sun reporter Mr. Perry said My trouble began when I was a boy of 14. I had a breaking-out all over my face, a.nd the doctor put it down to my system being poisoned. After a course of medicine and external applications the disease seemed to die away, but from that time until a few months ago I have always had these periodical outbreaks on the skin. At any time that I caught the least cold, or my blood got out of order, I would have the fearful breaking-cut on my face. It got so objectionable that I had to stay away from the works, as my fellow-shopmates used to object to my appearance. Springtime used to be the most trying season for me, as thfn the disease waa at its worst. I used to snn'er untold igoniet3 from burning and irritation. At different times I bought all sorts of salves and ointments, none of which, however, enected a cure. This state &f affairs continued, on and 08, for over thirty years. Now I am in a position to declare that my face is completely cured through the use of Zajn-Buk. After the first application of Zam-Bnk, the burning sensation disappeared. I per- severed, and after four or nve dressings the acaba came off my face just like one great plaster, and underneath was perfectly dry and healthy akin. The skin continued to improve, and after I had used three boxes I I had obtained a perfect cure. Since Zam-Buk nrst healod my face I have never had the least sign of an eruption." The skin cannot remain unhealthy long with Zam-Buk. Zam-Buk expels disease, pata the tissues into a healthy condition, and is thus' unequalLed for aU eruptions, pimples, bts.ckheads. ringworm, poisoned or fostering sores, eczema, psoriasis, ulcers, piles, bad legs, diseased ankles, sore backs, scurvy. dandrua\ gralp irritation, barber's rash. abscesses, bolis. cuts. bruises, burns. aoaJdfi. sprats, sore feet, neuralgia and nerve pains, cold; in the bead and on the chest, and all inflammations and diseases of the skin.
