FOR WOMEN FOLK. ————— 0 ———.—— HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES. Meet- of fhe black and. white checka are touched up with a bit of red or green. New Norfolks have yokes pointed eaoh side the front, from which dep-en-d long stole ends. Such a pretty challie has little leaves and flowers, primed all over it in soft Persian colourings. A pretty little French slipper has an embroidered and beaded vine running all the way around it. Perhaps it is not generally known that left-overs from a gelantine dish can be re- moulded. The jelly should be warmed just enough to melt, poured into a mould, and put in a very cold place. A good pie-crust for a person of weak stomach may be made by using sour cream instead of lard. Take half as much cream aa flour and add bicarbonate of soda in pro- portion of a teac-poonful to a half-pint of cream. To Understand Women "The older I get the more I am convinced that if men and women* are ever to under- stand each other it will be the woman that will have to do it all," observed a. bright woman the other day. As it 1". women understand men a great deal better than men understand women. Women are far more discerning and sympathetic than men, for one thimg: and. besides, men on their part are far simpler and less subtle than •women. If You are Grey It is said that this simple lotion will restore the colour to grey hair if taken in time: One ounce of tincture of a.ceta.te of iron, one pint of water, half an ounce of jflycerrae, five drams of sulphuret of potas- sium and four drops eaob of oil of cloves and oil of "lavender. Mix well, and have the bottle stand uncorked until the disagree- able odiaan from the potassium is gone, after which add the perfum-e oils. Apply to the wa,lp daily. Mush room Ramekins Cut the mushrooms in small pieces. Throw them art-it into boiiing water and then into cold to whiten th-am. Drain and fry them in little butter. When they are browned a little sprin kle in some flour and some chopped parsley. When the flour and batter are cooked and Men tied, pour in a. teacupfal of stock and simmer for ten minutes. Add the beaten yolks of an egg and a drop of lemon juice. Put into the ramekins with a few breadcrumbs on top and set aside until wanted, when it is only necessary to set them into the oven a few minutes in a pan of boiling water. Baby's Pretty Ears. When a. child's features seem to be grow. ing heavy, when the little ears grow outward too inquisitively, it is often less due to a fault on Nature's side than to some trick or habtt of t.1be child or iack of knowledge on the part of the mother or nurse. Many P-eoplc, are seen with protruding ears who ceed never have had this trying dis- figurernent if the position of their ears and this tende-gcy had been noted ia ehildihood. Tight ca-ps are often responsible fur pro- trudirg earn. That. if the eap is p-nt on and the little ear is bent outw-ard. This k; often the cause of long crying spells, which seem bo be otherwise unaccounted for. If the ba-by lies onhir. ea.r bent in the cap. the results are painful and loudly proclaimed. A chiid that is habitually on the left arm will often have a protruding right ear. This, is the effect of the little head leaning against' the mother or nurse with the ear bent in an uimatnral position. The Beginning of Fatness When a woman begins to get stout the change is first noticed in her cheeks. These grow fulT and round, and the fulness and the roundness are not of the girlish order. where plumpness is the prettiest of all .attractions. But the fulness is of the bulg- ing type. The fat creeps up under the eyes a,nd begins to close them. At the same time the chin begins to get double. A double chin is a positive blot upon the eountenance of any woman. It destroys the three attributes, each of which is abso- lutely essential to its beauty. The double chin destroys the oval of the face; it takes the Cupid bow from the mouth; and it dis- figures the lines of the throat and neck. These would be enough if there were no other disfiguring accompaniments to the double chin. But there are others. The double chin for one thing obliterates the lines of the throat, back, and shoulders, and brings the chest up too near the mouth. There is no other way to describe it. for, with the throat gone, there is that carious, ruddied appearance which the double chin always gives. Savoury ups I In no way can ttus smallest odds and ends of various things be used mere satiefacto- rily than in the making of soups even with- oat stock. Stock adds to the nutritive value in some cases, but at certain seasons of the year delicate cream soups are more accept- able if not more wholesome. Clear SOUDS—ccunsomme, bouillon, etc.-are less nourishing than stimulating, and for this reason are generally used at the begin- ning of a. long or hearty meal. The heavier soups may form the main dish of a lun- cheon or dinner. In the south of Germany they are served most acceptably for supper. 'When the soup is to form the main nourish- -ment it must not lack in that requisite. 1 Peas, beans, lentils. the various cereals, ■ as rice. barley, sago, farina, macaroni. ?i'n?Ie vog-pta?bi-ee or mixtures of many, all may be added i? ??-k. mik. or water to make soup. A cup of beans or peas with a. slice of .jknion, <,ne pint of mjk. and a little care make a delicious soup. One- fourth of a cup of chicken broth, with milk and rice. makes another. Meat should be vut through the chopper if it is to be served in the soup: vegetables chopped or cooked in water or stock and put through a sieve.

j STORY FOR TO-DAY.
j STORY FOR TO-DAY. The Horrid Townsends. It was a.n awful time! In the first place, it was the middle cf Ju'.y. and we had to move. Old Mr. Town send died, and every stick and stone that he owned in Dolliver was süld. His heire, two sons how we hated their very names, knowing no more of them), who had been abroad, had come home in. tending to divide tiheir time between their New York residence a.nd the old family estate at Chester Grove. But they didn't I want to bother with a lot of rented houses in Dolliver. and these were peremptorily doomed to be cold. Old Conway pounced upon ours at onoe. Of course, he did! Mrs. Conway and her two homely daughters had been hankering for our hotWe for years, for, though we did "only rent it," we had lived there for thir- teen years; and, oh! the additions and im- provements we had made to it! We had doubled its value, I am certain; we beauti- fied it, inside and out; we lavished our artastic tastes upon the panels; we adorned the walls; we had the floors puttied, painted, and poHshed, and Teddy had actually painted the most beautiful border and corner pieces of oak leaves and acorns round the entire sitting-room. And now, to give it all up: Oh! those hateful Townsends! What added to the distress was the fact that the only house we could find in all Deliver to rent was a lit/tie two-story oot- tage. quite a distance from all the neigh- bours to whom we had become attached, and in a locality we detested. However, there was no help for it, and, as I said before, we had an awful time. It was bad enough to know the dea.r old house was lost to as. and that the Conways were to enioy all our labours of love on the Walls and floors; it was suf&dentty exasperating to be compelled to take up oar abode at Jenk's corner, a locality we abominated, but these were only the beginning of our tribu- lations. The day we were to move was hot-oh, so hot! and the dear mother, having done the work of about three men the previous week. and weighing at her best times about 94Ib.. broke down with a blinding, nervous head- ache; Martha, a treasure of a servant, had already Laid herself up by spraining her wrist in moving a trunk, so there were Teddy a.nd Jim and I to "do" the moving. Teddy is my eldest sister Theodoeia, and Jim is Jemima, my youngest sister; I am Thomasine, always called Tom in the bosom of my family. We are all young, we are all blondoes. we are all small. and we are all pretty. We have incomes of our own of 300 dollars a year, and the dear mother has about 1,200 dollars a year, so we can live very nicely, indeed, in a quiet place like Dolliver. Whea mother patiently fainted away just as the first furniture van drove up to the door. Teddy and I detailed Jim for active duty in the hospital department, and pro- mised to have mother's room made ready the firat thing. In the meantime she was made comfortable in Jim's room, and Martha undertook to superintend the loading of the vans, while Teddy and I scampered off to the new house to see to receiving the furniture. It was clean as a new pin; that was one little ray of comfort, and we hung up our hats and put on the biggest of aprons and Lady Washington caps, a.nd were ready for ation. Even in my misery I noticed how unusually pretty Teddy looked. Her hair is the purest gold colour, a.nd makes hundreds of little rings round her face, amd sihehas a colour like a wild rcse on each cheek. on that day the excitement-, t.he hurry, and the in- dignation combined had m-ade her blue eyes blaze, .her cheeks brilliant as carnations, and every little curl bristled defiance of the Townsends and oar wrong?. But more was to come! 1J drove the first va a with one man. Both Teddy and I weve at the doo", and ex. claimed "Where's tihe other Sure, marm. he was sent for by his old woman. One of the ohilder's scalded hisself, and io's half over Dolliver I've been thTying to foind somebody to take tihe job. and niver a one is there nothin' at all, at a.<11!" Here was a dilemma. Well, eaid Teddy, "those t'hings have got to be taken into the house. You and I can carry some of tihe light ones." Neither Teddy nor I knew that we had a.n audience. Not until long afterwards were we aware of tihe wicked trick that was at that instant devised. From round the corner of tihe house appeared two men ir flannel shirts, minus collars, neckties, a.nd hats, with hair in wild confusiom. and extremely dirty hands and faces. In the richest of brogues one of them respectfully addressed Teddy. and requested work. I really wonder now tfha-t we didn'fern brace them. Bat we engaged tiheir services at once, and how they worked! They did a consider- a.ble amount of laughing whenever they were alone, and they required the most minnte directions for everything they undertook, but they put down carpets and put up pictures, and carried in furniture and unpacked glass and china: in fact, worked with might a.nd main, leaving to the driver of the van only the task of going to and fro with the good-: which he managed to load with Martha's assistance. At moon we unpacked a substantial lunch, and as Bill and John. our new helps, showed no of going home we spread oat a meal on the kitahen table, and sent tlhem in to it. I never in my life hetard men laugh so much over sandwiches, hard-boiled eggs, and coffee. In all this time, you may be sure, Teddy and I were berating those horrid Townsends at every turn. We called them all sorte of names expressive of meanness and selfish- hoped their own house would burn down and let them know how pleasant it was to be turned out of the home they loved. We were sure they were sour, grumpy old badhelore, and we hoped they would never marry unless it was to some old witch who would worry all the year round. AH this we said in confidence to each other never heeding those quiet, modest, young men who were so meekly obeying all our orders. The house was really in very nice order. and mother's room was home-like as we could ma.ke it, when at last the carriage drove up with our dear invalid, Jim, a.nd Martha. Mother was very pci-le and propped up with pillows, and I was worrying over the necessity of her walking upstairs. when out walked our two hired men without any orders whatever and raised her tenderly and gently, pillows and all. in their arms, as craefully as her own sons, had she ever had any, could have done. Jim stared v as well she mi glint, and Martha muttered Holy Moses!" as she made a dive for the kitchen. ¡ Teddy paid t.he men. Jim and I did the Jam few things necessary before resting, and then we all gathered in mother's room. Such a chattering as followed, the dear motiher laughing and talking as merrily as a.ny of ns. But, ah! What guys you two are," cried Jim. Tom, you've torn yourself, a. usual. wherever there was the emaJlest opening for a rent, and your cap is hanging halfway II down your back, while your hair defies de- scription. Teddy always does keep nice. somehow, but now—even Teddy will bear an application of soap and water." "Same to yourself," said Teddy. "I gue?e you seat all the mirrors away before you washed your face. You've got what Martha calls a smooch right across your nose." Don't be personal, young ladies," said mother in a tone of extreme gentleness, "but perform yOUT ablutions, and see if Martha can make out- a tea." In a fortnight we had settled down in the new house, brat we did not occupy ourselves, as of old. in beautifying our home. We were advertising far and wide for a. house such as we wished, amd we hoped to purchase one. The price of the one we had left was beyond our reach, but we thought we could hear of one at a more reasonable rate. During tih:1S Dime of waiting, fee<J.inga6 if we really had no home, we had gone out but little. Mother was not weM, and the heat, was very oppressive, while Martha's lame wrist threw a considerable amount of the he-use-work on OUT hands. But one evening there came an irresistible invitation from mother's ct.ea.r old friend, Mrs. Raymond, at Chester Grove, to a garden party and a, dance. You will stay all night, of course," she wrote, and I will eeaid tihe carriage for you at two o'clock. Be sure you all come. I c-8;n,not spare one of yon!" But we did not all go. Mother was not ooual to the eight-mile drive, and lim stayed with her. We all wanted to stay, and fin-ally drew lots, and it fell to Jim. I'm not reeuliy out, anyhow," said that young person philosophically, and as you and Teddy aeem awfully slow a.bout leaving 1Ih6. family nest, pe, it i6 just as well that I am not brought forward just yet." The effect will be overwhelming when you are," said Teddy, laughiing, but secretly we all thought Jim the beauty of the family— tall, with the golden hair. she had soft brown eyes and dark laahes. It was with the utmost serenity that Teddy and I accepted Mrs. Raymond's invitation to stroll about the grounds a little witih her and see some new neighbours only lately come to live at Chester Grove. We were arrayed in the finest of linen lawns—white, with a small blue figure, blue belts. white muslin shade hats with blue bows, blue neckties, knots of blue in our curls, and blue trimmed white gloves const1 t-uted our costumes, and I can answer for Teddy's being exceedingly becoming Strolling leisurely along. we met two gentle- men in white linen suits and straw hats; we heard lr. Raymond say: .1 Allow me to introduce bhe Messrs. Town- send. lately returned from Europe. Nl r. John Towntend, Mi-s Theodora Brent; Mr. Willia,m Townsend, Miss Thomasine Brent." I thought I was goi.ng to faint. I hea,rd Teddy gasp. I saw Mrs. Raymond sail majæticaJly away, and then I looked again. Yes, it was "Bill," and Teddy was blush- ing, wit,h drooping eyes, before "John." "Would you please forgive us?" said John, ptenently. We had just come over to DoKiver, and had heard for the first time that there was any personal feeling involved in the sale of our father's property, which we had regarded as a mere business trans- action. We were coming up the street beside your honse. when we saw your distress, and, having nothing to do. we took off our coats, and vests, and hats, and rubbed a little mud on our faces and hands, and-" It was just a lark. you know," pleaded Bill, as his brother paused. "And you did look ju-t ready to cry. you know!" It was very good of you," said Teddy, looking very much as Bill had just described her. Yes, we are very muoh obliged." I said, thinking of all they had heard us say about them, and wondering how much t;hey re- membered. But-, somehow, just. then we all looked up, and in another second the air was filled with laughter. It was irresistible. The whole affair was too funny. After that we were the beat of friends. The Townsends came cften to Jenk's corner, and when Jim comes out regularly next winter she will have no sisterly compunctions about Teddy and me. because there will be a. double wedding in about two weeks. Teddy and I are going to marry those horrid Town- sends."

A CARDIFF APPEAL.I
A CARDIFF APPEAL. I The Corporation and the Costs I In the Court of Appeal on Monday (before Lord Justice Romer and Lord Justice Ma.thew) in the action of Rogers v. the Mayor and Corporation of Cardiff an application was made for stay of execution pending an appeal. Mr. Hill Kelly (instructed 'by Messrs. Lewis Morgan and Bex) appeared for Rogers, and Mr. Bailhache appeared for the corporation. Mr. Bailhache explained that the learned county-court judge had made an award of compensation in the action. The Cardiff Cor- poration were content to pay the weekly sum 60 awarded, but there was some question as to costs. Their application now was that there should be a stay of execution unless an undertaking were given that the cost's would be returned should the appeal be given in the corporation's favour. Lord Justice Rcmer: Is this question to be tried for the benefit of the master? Mr. Bailhache: Yes. Lord Justice Romer: Because I think it. is rather hard that it should be tried at the expense of the workman. Lord Justice Mathew: Why is there a refusal to give the undertaking to return? Mr. Kelly: The application has not come up in this form before. At the previous pro- ceedings it ha> been an application for the return- of the costs and the compensation paid. The original form of the apical was not for the return of costs, but for the whole judgment. Lord Justice Romer: Well. are you willing to give the undertaking? Mr. Kelly: I am instructed to refuse. Lord Justice Mathew: Then, if the applica- tion goes against you, there would be a stay of execution. Mr. Kelly: In that case, I must accept it. In answer to a question by Lord Justice Romer, Mr. Bailhache gave a short outline of the facts of the case, and said that when it was tried the question put was whet-her Rogers at the time of the accident was engaged in, on, or about engineering work. The learned county-court judge awarded 12s. 6d. a week. Lord Justice Romer ruled that there should be a stay of execution unless an undertaking were given to return costs if necessary.

I EXPLOSION SEQUEL. AWARDS FOR THE CLYDACH VALE SUFFERERS „ Before Judge Gwilym Williams at the Pontypridd County-court on Monday com- pensation claims arising from the Clydach Vale explosion came on for hearing. Mr. A. T. James (Messrs. Walter Morgan, Bruce, and Nicholas) stated that he appeared for the applicants, and the respondent com- pany. Liability was admitted, the respective amounts agreed upon, and it only remained for hie honour to apportion the amounts between the widows and children. His Honour remarked that there had been no agreement drawn up; therefore, there must be an award in each case. Awards were then made in the following ca^eo, and amounts set aside to be invested where there were dependent children and a weekly allowance made to the mothers for their maintenance. The maximum award of £ 300 was made in the following caies :-Eliza. beth Cha-lker, 14, Park-terrace, Clydach Vale, widow of Joseph Chalker, ostler; Sarah Davies, 50, Charles-street, Tonyp,andy, wido-w of Evan Davies, fireman; Catherine Davies, 17, Adam-street, Clydach Vale, widow of Jenkin Davies, repairer; Margaret Griffiths, 96, High-street.

MILITIAMAN DROWNED AT M1LF0RD…
MILITIAMAN DROWNED AT M1LF0RD HAVEN. John Stewart, aged 29, up for training at Fort Hubberston, Milford Haven, with the Royal Garrison Artillery Militia, was drowned whilst bathing in the sea. He is supposed to have been seized with cramp. A trumpeter jumped in after him. but found him too heavy to raise, though the water was not very deep at this place. A navvy working on the new line to Good- wick had a narrow escape from drowning in the River Cleddau, near the headwaters. The man answered a foolish challenge—who could cross the river quickest—and getting into the water, he sank twice before he was rescued. It was with great difficulty that he was restored to consciousness.

ICKICKET. j
CKICKET. CARDIFF V. GLAMORGAN LEAGUE. "STRANGE ACTION" BY THE PLYMOUTH WORKS TEAM. Mr. R. R. Williams, Clydaeh Vale, presided over a, meeting of the Ulamorgan Cricket League at Pontypndd on Monday. Mr. Leyshon (the secretary) said that Ply- mouth (Merthyr) had notified him that their ground was not available for the match against Cardiff on Thursday, and he made arrangement* to have it played at Mountain Ash. Subsequently, he had a wire to say that a general Monday would be observed at the works on Thursday and the ground would be at the disposal of the league. He could not then alter the arrangements. A few days Jater the Plymouth secretary wrote to say that inasmuch as the players selected to play for the league were working men, they "could not see their way clear to play unless they were paid their expenses and oss of time." The Chairman said that the majority of the players were working men, and if they paid the Plymouth men, a precedent would be created. The funds would not allow of paying them. Other members criticised what they termed the "strange action" of the Plymouth team, and it -was resolved that the applioa.tion he not entertained, and three other players were selected in place of the Plymouth men. The Pontypridd ground was passed as being absolutely fit for league matches. The following team will play against- Car- diff for the league.—0. Morgan (captain), F. Pawscn, Bert Hughes, Turner, I. Edmunds, Bedford, Delbridge. R. Hopkins, D. R. Rees. J. Mulvey, and W. G. Thomas.
COMING TOTAL ECLIPSE. I
COMING TOTAL ECLIPSE. I [By ARTHUR MEE.] I The coming total eclipse of the sun should attract a good many holiday-makers from the South Wales seaports. A total solar eclipse is reckoned amongst the aublimest phenomena, that Nature affords, and the inte- rest of the spectacle is enhanced by the fact that it is so seldom to be witnessed in our own country. The la6t seen in England was early in the eighteenth century, and the next will not. be till 1927. Thus those who would witness the phenomenon must go abroad, and it is not often that the shadow track is as accessible as in August next, for it passes across the Atlantic, strikes the north coast of Spa.in not far from Bilbao, crosses the peninsula, leaves it near Barcelona, and then passes across the Mediterranean to Algiers. Bilbao and Barcelona are ports with which Cardiff, Swansea., Newport, and other Bristol Channel. ports do continual trade, and it is, therefore, not difficult for persons to arrange a passage who do not care to avail themselves of the elaborate trips that are being organised by the excursion companies. In ;any evert, large numbers of seafaring people crmnectod with the ports named are likely to be on the shadow track, and, therefore, to see something of the eclipse. I

AROUND THE LINKS.
AROUND THE LINKS. ANOTHER RECORD BROKEN W lun tne exception of thannual summer meeting of the Monmouthshire Golf Club, very little of note has taken place in connec- tion with the South Wales clubs during the past week. There ha.s been a good deal of individual play, however, and a few club competitions have been held. THE GLAMORGANSHIRE CLUB. There has been very little doing on the links of the Glamorganshire Club. The ladies held their club competition on Friday, Mrs. Ashley Bird being the winner, with a. net score of BJ. The ladies' junior medal-was won by Miss Hacquoil, with 43 net, the com- petition being played over eighteen holes. The second Glamorganshire team had an easy victory over the Newport Club at Peuarth on Saturday. The weather being ao hot militated against good golf. The homesters were victorious by seven matches to two. I PLAY AT BRECON. Mr. James Morgan, late captain of the Radyr Golf Club, on Wednesday fulfilled his promise made during his year of office to take a team to Brecon to play the home club. The Radyr players took train to Merthyr. and drove from Merthyr to Brecon, a distance of about twenty miles. The outing is adjudged by all those who participated in it to have been a success in every way. The visitors liked the situation of the Brecon links, but, unfortunately, the course is not in the best of condition in consequence of the long grass, which the local club is not allowed to cut more often than twice a year. Not- withstanding this, a very pleasant game resulted, Mr. Morgan's team being victorious by four matches to three. The Rev. W. E. Shaw, who has not yet quite recovered from his illness, beat his opponent by a magnificent putt on the last green. In fairness to Brecon, it should be stated that two or three of their best players were not able to take part in the match. I ANOTHER RECORD BROKEN AT RADYR. The Radyr members have been fairly quiet of late. The semi-final round of the evening tournament took place on Saturday between Howard Jones and H. H. Haslam, with the result that the former won by 2 and 1. The match was very even up to the seventeenth, which was the deciding point. Another record has been broken at Radyr, this time by Mifis Hodge, who is now one of the best lady golfers of the club. If Miss Hodge continues to play the game as well as at present, we may expect to hear of greater achievements by-and-bye. Young in years, she is also young in the golfing world, but is a very keen enthusiast. I A notable performance took place at Radyr on Saturday, when Gaer Jones, who is a, 14 handicap player, in order to satisfy a bet made between some of the members went round the course, using his putter only for driving, apjiroaohing, and nutting. He made the extraordinary score of 93 gross, for which he received the congratulations of many of his friends. This, strange to relate, is the lowest gross score ever made by Mr. Jones, even when playing with all his clubs. The postponed mixed foursomes was played on Saturday, the winners being Mrs. R. W. Simpson and E. W. Symonds. The score they returned, considering the tropical conditions, was a very good one. It is a matter for regret, however, that the mixed foursomes take place on Saturday mornings, as many gentlemen members who would like to ta.ke part are debarred from doing so, owing to business. To the satisfaction of the Radyr members, the work of enlarging the club-house is to be started immediately. The completion of the proposed alterations will be welcomed by all concerned, as the accommodation for the present membership and the large number of visitors to the course is inadequate. I PORTHCAWL COURSE RECORD BROKEN I iu ine seveu-asiae maicju ou ottturaay between Porthcawl and Glamorganshire, the home team were not strongly represented, most of their best players being away. The result was that they were defeated by five matches to one, the only successful Porlhoawl player being Colonel Hatoh. A hard fight was witnessed between Jamee Hunter and E. U. David, who eventually squared the match. Neither, however. played at the top of his form. Dyas, who played third for the Glamorganshire team, was in hie best form, and did the course in 78 strokes, easily defeating his opponent, J T. Phccnix. At the third hole Dyas nearly holed out off the tee, his ball striking the pin and staying on the edge of the hole. The course over the week-end was in very good condition, but the welcome showers which fell improved the greens, which previously were rather fiery. ,The semi-final for the Severn Brigade Shield between E. U. David and L. Thomas will probably take place on Saturday, and the winner will subsequently meet Wyndham Jenkins in the final. Hutchinson, the Porthcawl professional, last week went round the course in 71, this beating his previous record by one stroke. The following is the card as marked by Mr. A. Fletcher, who went round with Hutchin- ron: Yds. Hole. Strokes. Yds. Hole. St.r.

MONMOUTHSHIRE CLUB'S SUMMER MEETING. Better weather than that experienced for the annual summer meeting of the Mon- mouthshire Club at Abergavenny on Wednes- day and Thursday last could not have been desired. A slight, refreshing breeze, which interfered very little with the play, prevailed each day, and the course was never known to be better. There was a good number of entries for the various events, but in this respect a great falling off is noticed, the number of competitors from other clubs not being so numerous as in the past. The meeting, however, was a thorough success, and thanks to the efforts of Mr. J. G. Bishop, who, as secretary pro tem., carried out the arrangements, everything went off without a hitch. The palm of the meeting was carried off by the youngest member— that is, in years—of the club. R. G. Davis belongs to a family of golfers, and his per- formances on both days were very creditable. He won the medal handicap with 78 net, being 2 below F. W. Daw, who came second with 80, and so carried off the Llangattock Cup, a very handsome trophy. He headed the list in the open single handicap (bogey) with 3 uP. and wa.s winner of the Paton Cup in the competition for the best gross score of the meeting, which was 79. This is the best score ever returned for the trophy named with one exception, when his elder brother, Charles Da.vis, carried it off with a score of 78. He was also first with J. V. Richards in the four. some bogey competition with 4 down. On the whole, the scores did not come up to the standard, and this was rather disap- pointing, considering the excellent order of the oourse. R. W. Powlett won the meda,l handicap (Kennard Cup). W. Webber the Cal- cutta competition, and 1. N. Cuibell and Miss Kennard the mixed foursomes handioau. NEWPORT CLUB. Since the last monthly meda.l competition was played there have been some handicap alterations. The first four men in the com- petition have been brought down as follows: — R. T. Fowler, from 20 to 17; T. H. Smith, from 20 to 16; T. G. Skyrme. from 25 to 20; and L. F. Beynon, from 25 to 23. There have been several scratchings in the tournament, which has now reached its fourtlh round stage. The final will be a 36- hole competition, which has to be completed by July 22. Play at the Lady Hill course has been slack during the past week. With the excep- tion of the fourth round for the tournament, there has again been an uncompetitive week. The course is in excellent condition, but as there are a good many members away there has not been much play. Lady members are conspicuous by their absence just now. It was not at all a matter for surprise that the Newport tea.m was beaten by the Gla.- morgan second team at Penarth on Satur- day. The Glamorgan players have had the opportunity of more play, and the olub is enabled to turn out teams of more low-handi. cap men than Newport is at present able to do. Form was, however, pretty consistent. The two Newport men who won their games are amongst the best average players of the club. L. A. Phillips is a low handicap (5) man who may be said to be the best of the Newport lot. R. E. Hughes (10) is also a very consistent player. Several of the visitors were 18 and 20 handicap men. SWANSEA BAY CLUB. I Play all round at Jersey Marine on Satur- day was unaccountably poor. A score of 85 enabled Mr. John Thomas to win the monthly medal, doubtless quite unexpectedly to that gentleman, who has made better scores with lees reward. The Newnes Cup semi-final saw Mr. R. M. Brown. the hero of many a stirring match, and one who has made a splendid bid against a heavy handi- cap in the preceding rounds, knocked out by Mr. Ford, but the game was a very pOOT one, both nlayers being conspicuously off colour. The other match, between Mr. Adams and Mr. Hen-sage, found the latter gentleman playing under the disadvantage of a bad headache, and some players seemed to think he would have had a better chance under his normal physical conditions. The final will most likely be played off on Thursday next.

MONDAY'S PLAY. RADYR No. 2 EVENING TOURNAMENT FINAL In the final of the No. 2 Evening Tourna- ment at Rad.vr Ralph Jones beat Dr. Spen- cer Watkins 3 and 2. CHALLENGE MATCH FOR C430. The announcement of the challenge by Vardon and Taylor to engage in all inter- national four-green foursome, has induced certain London golfers to back Tom Vardon and Jack White against the winners of the international match for £ 200 a-side. A condi- tiou of the challenge will be that Sunnm-g- dale and Sandwich constitute two of the greens. TJjs advantage of this to the chal- longers is apparent. On Sandwich White won his championship.

A FANCY BRASSWORKER. f I II lit Tests a Popular Belief— The remarkable con fidence inspired by a Popular Belief is well exemp li. fied by the information kindly placed at our disposal by Mr. B. Slide, a Fancy Brassworker. At the period to which his letter refers, Mr. Slide explains that his devotion to Music and. his Craft was such as to occasion him serious Nervous D i stress, which even his medical adviser failed to alleviate. It was at this stage that a friend pointed out how firm was the Popular Belief in Phosferine as THE cure for just suc h pitiable Nerve D i sorders as Mr. Slide was sun?ring from. Observing that .So?? igns an d ?M&?? a??? /MM" MM?'e? faith in P ?<???' ne, Mr. Slide tried a course of the renowne d Tonic, and he was astounded at the rapid and final disa p pearance of his Nervous Ailments, an d so strengthened an d re i nforced was his ent i re system that he desires to aid in making the wonderful curative properties of Phosferine yet more widely known. Announces Important Results. Mr. B. Slide, 70, St. Stephen's Street, Birm i ngham, writes:—"I am a Fancy Brassworker by trade. Many years ago I was learnin g to play the Church Or g an an d the cont i nua l study brought on Nervousness. I took no not i ce of it for some time, till it grew worse, and became so bad at times that I used to wince and jump if I heard a footstep behind me. I consulted a doctor, he told me I was suffering from Nervous Prostra- tion, and gave me medic i ne which seeme d to ma k e me worse, then I tried other remedies, but all failed. Lastly, a friend, within the last 12 months, recommended Phosferine, I tried it and it has worked wonders. My s i ster too, has derived a wonderful lot of good from it. I took a small quantity to the class where I am organist, and gave it to one of the mem b ers suffering from Nervousness, and he speaks ver y highly of it. — S eptem b er 28, "904- The Royal Example.
