Sunken Treasure. CHAT WITH A FAMOUS DIVER Reminiscences of Aberdare Workj The search for Spanish treasure in Tober- mory Bay has come to an end, and the salvage steamer, with the divers, has returned to port. I am not surprised at ithe failure to locate He sunken ship after all these years." The speaker was Mr. E. A. Bayfield, one of 'he oldest %u.d best-known submarine divers in the kingdom, w:ho holds the record for the deepest dive in the world. I had apprised him of the failure in the North (writes a representative of the London "Daily News"), Q,nd the above had been his reply. But wtkat moakes it so difficult to find the qhap?" M Well, if I remember rightly, the divers -ere Working in 80ft. of Water 'tlul expecting to find the ship in the It seems very simple to those ^ho know nothing of the practical side of diving, but the Joe a-ting of a eub- •k^rged wreck, especially on such an exposed PaArt of the coast as Tobermory, is vrey difficult indeed. As a matter of fact, I have located ships laying in the sea bottom that twelve months after had disappeared as com- Metely as if they had never been there. The reason is that with shifting sands a Certain current may carry a whole bank tight over the wreck, and weeks and months Of the underflow would pack it until you "auld thinr it had been so for ages. You can quite see the difficulty that would beset °ne or two divers in an attempt to survey fluch a large field of operations." Then the conversation shifted to personal "I have been diving now for 24 years," he Baid. "I have been in all sorts of queer Places, but have never met with mishap. Gl"uesome sights? Yes, many; but, strange to say, the most terrible of all of my experi *noes as a diver has been on land. This was In Aberda;re a few years ago, where the eollieries were flooded, and many miners were wned. T'he bodies could not be recovered 111 the ordinary way, so I got into my dress a.nd crawled up the headings, and brought the corpses out one by one." The diver brought out an old sea chest ?ith Spanish gold coins let in the side, doubt- z?, a repMc-a of that 'neath the shifting ?nds of Tobermory. Has he ever made a foig dive? I inquired. Then he admitted with pride that he had done a. th in a: which none else had achieved, fondly he had produced a wa-twh, the inscrip- tion upon which testified to the fact that the owner had performed a record dive on July 12, 1898, when 'he worked for some time at a deptlh of 192 feet in Loch Long, N.B. Diving," he added, "is a very simple fatter; once you locat-e your object the bulk of the work is done. It is the weary sea.re.h that breaks down the spirit of the diver and runs away with the money. No, I don't think there is anything more to be galved at Tobermory. I

MAN WHO "RUINED HIMSELF' Riaca Wife Tells a Pitiful Tale I The magistrates at Newport were called aPon to-day to make a. separation order etween husband and wife on account of the -habitual drunkenness of the husband. It wa,s the case of Sarah Ann Howells against her husband, Tom Howells. a master tailor at Eisca. She stated that five years ago she was carried to the defendant at Trevethin hurch. Formerly she was a widow, her first husband having been an electrician. There "ere two children of the marriage, one of Vvbom had died.. During some period of their parried life defendant had been drunk every day. She had had to leave him three times ?n account of his drunkenness and voilence, ut returned to him upon his making fair ftromiaee. He had wrecked him home, sold 18 furniture, and was unable to keep her IlroPerly by reason of his drunkenness. .Police-superintendent Porter told the d ?ch that the man had ruined himeelf by drink. The Bench found the case proved, and ordered a separation, 'he defendant to pay kis wife 12s. per week and court costs.

I BURGESS SWIMMING. ANOTHER TRY TO CROSS THE SILVER STREAK. "Be Careful of the Varne, Willie." Burgees started from Lyddon Spout, Dover, early this morning on his fourth attempt to swim the Channel. lie was in a very fit con- dition, and seemed confident of succefcs. As before, he entered, the water at nine minutes past six. The conditions were the most favourable that have pre- vailed this year, the sea being smooth, the temperature of the water 63, and the tempera- ture of the air 65. Mrs. Burgess saw her husband off, her last words being "Be careful of the Varne, Willie." The Varne is a spot dreaded by a-IT Channel swimmers. At 7.10 Burgess was one mile and three- quarters off the shore, and making good headway. DOVER, 9 a.m. Burgess is making excellent progress on the flood tide, which is taking him well to the eastward. The Euti is hot. 11.0 Burgess is well out to the eastward of Dover, and is nearing the South Sands Lightship. He is about six miles from shore. There is a strong westerly wind. 11.15 Burgess can be seen to the eastward, and it is computed that !he is now seven miles from shore. The breeze 'has freshened since the swimmer started, with the consequence that the sea, has become slightly choppy.

"BOBS" AT LLANELLY MEMORIAL TO LOCAL HEROES Earl Roberts visited Llanelly to-day for the purpose of unveiling the monument erected in the Town-hall grounds to the local men who fell in the South African war. Unfortu- nately, the weather was most unpropitious, rain falling heavily while the elaborate pro- gramme arranged was being gone through. His lordship, who was accompanied by Sir James Hills-Johne^, Sir James Drummond, the High Sheriff of the County, Judge Bishop, ,and others, were met at the railway station by the members of the urban council, headed by the chairman, Mr. D. James Davies. An address of welcome was read here by the town-clerk, after which the procession formed for the Town-hall grounds. The route was densely lined with people, who seemed to be oblivious of the unpleasant climatic conditions. Before proceeding to perform the unveiling ceremony Earl Roberts, addressing Colonel Buokley Roderick, thanked the subscribers to the memorial for the very complimentary address which they had presented him. He was very proud to be aeked to come to Llanelly to unveil a memorial which had been erected to the men who had laid down their lives in the service of their country. The object of the memorial was to keep green the memory of those who had fallen, and he trusted that everybody who passed that way would read the inscription, and thus be inspired to emulate the example of the men who had served their country. He knew the Welsh Regiments well, and espe- cially the 1st Welsh, and the Service com- panies of the Volunteers who accompanied them. He knew very well the excellent work they had done, and was proud when he read the tribute to their services, which was paid them by the general officers commanding the brigades in which they served. Earl Roberts was then entertained to lun- cheon.

i Condition hopeless. I ILLNESS OF DOWAGER LADY WILLIAMS-WYNN The Dowager Lady William Wynn, who is lying dangerously ill at her Welsh residence at Liangedwyn, was to-day officially stated to be in a hopeless condition. Sir William Bennett, a London specialist, has examined the patients, but deems an operation impos- sible through her ladyship's weak state. The dowager is aunt of Sir Watkin Wynn, of Ruabon, and wife of the late Sir Watkin Wynn, who for many years was the Parlia- mentary representative for Denbighshire. Her ladyship is 79 years of age.

There's My Duke." I A BLAENCAERAU SCENE Alleged Robbery Outside an Hotel At Bridgend to-day Enoch Thomas, labourer, Blaenceacrau, was charged with robbing with violence Daniel Davies, collier, Caerau, of a silver watch. Mr. Hayden Jones, Bridgend, prosecuted, and Mr. T. J. Hughes defended. Mr. Jonas said that on August Bank Holi- day Davies was in the Blaencaerau Hotel till about eleven o'clock, when he left. Outside prisoner met him, and without giving him a word of warning got hold of him and said, You are all right. You can fight him." Davies did not know what prisoner meant, and lie (Mr. James) thought it must have been a blind to hide what followed. Prisoner then got hold of Davies's watch- chain, and tried to pull his watch out of his pocket, and, after a struggle, he was successful, and 4roke the chain. Davies then sa.id, "You have got my watch." The pri- soner replied", I have next got your watch. You can search me if you like. Here's my coat, here's my waistcoat, and (knocking him down with his fist) there's my duke." Davies gave evidence, and said that he appealed to Thomas not to take the watch, and said, Beat me if you like." Prosecutor was cross-examined at some length by Mr. Hughes, and denied that ho had a. fight with his father in the hotel just previous to the alleged robbery. He did not tell the police about the atfair until the following Wednesday, as he was afraid that Thomas might beat him again. I Evidence was given lby several other wit- nesses, and Mi's. Wood said that when she saw Thomas with this arms around Davies she thought he was loving him in friendship. George Parsons, collier, of N'antybar, said that on that evening in the Blaencaerau Hotel he had to se;parat.e Davies and his -father twice, as tihey were quarrel ling and fighting. Witness was treated as a hostile witness by the .prosecuting solicitor, Police-constable KetLand said that com- plaint was not. made to him by Davies until the Thursday. Mr. T. J. Huskies sa:id the prisoner wished to. emphatically deny any knowledge what- ever of the watch. Thomas was committed to the. acsizes in custody.

SMALL-POX IN THE RHONDDA Outbreak Reported at Wattstown An outbreak of small-pox is reported to have occurred at a house at Wattstown. It appears that an Irishman on his way from Ireland lodged at a common lodging-house, and there contracted the disease. At that time, however, he had it in such a mild form that it was not recognised when he called upon his compatriots at Wattstown, and he has now left the district, his whereabouts being unknown. Two women in the house indicated are now affected, and have been conveyed to the isolation hospital. It is as yet impossible to conjecture whether there may be any spread of the contagion, but precautionary measures have been taken, and about a score of people have been vacci- nated. The medical officer of health (Dr. J. D. Jenkins) is most vigilant.

CARDIFF MAN HUNT. Has Heathfield Left the Co-u ntry- P SAID TO HAVE SAILED FROM NEWPORT. In regard to the statement in a contem- porary this morning to the effect that the Cardiff police Are in possession of important informa- tion concerning Heathfield, whose arrest may take place at any moment, such infor- mation indicating that he is in one of the mining districts of Glamorgan, we are assured by the highest authority that the Cardiff police know nothing at all about it, and that the statement referred to above is wholly unauthorised. j Has He Gone to Newport ? I Heathfield's father was asked his opinion by our reporter as to the theory that his sou made his way to Newport. "Well," said the old man, "those" who saw him on Tueeclalr and Wednesday last say that was Henry's intention. He said he could make arrangements in Newport to be con- cealed by friends until a boat sailed, on which he could be smuggled away. When I heard it I thought it very likely, but I said that if the friends he was relying on were sailors he was dc-ne for, but if they were fire- men he was all right. Firemen," he added in explanation, "are a better lot than sailors. You can trust a fireman not to peach, but not a sailor." There seems little doubt that Heathfield did make his way to Newport on Tuesday night, after he had obtained his change of clothes at Janet-stroct. Until a thort time ago he was a seaman, and it is proba.ble enough that he knew Newport as well ae he did Car- diff, and was able to lie low until he could be stowed away, or could sign on to an out- ward-bound vessel. He must be now many hundreds of miles away from the scene of his exploits. It is noteworthy that this belief finds acceptance with all his relatives and acquaintances. We have .it on certain authority that the friend who supplied him with the new clothes gave him 6d. as well, and this was all the money he had, so that lie probabi- lity of his being able to reach London is very remote. I London 'Tecs Active The Scotland Yard detectives are still work- ing with the greatest zeal in their efforts to run Heathfield to eafth. On Friday a letter was received by the police which purported to come from Heathfield, addressed from Yaid- ing, a small village in Kent, on the Maid- stone road, written in a very illiterate hand. The latter said that all their efforts to find him would be without avail, as he had found solid friends. It also stated that he was doing very well. It is thought that the letter is simply a hoax. However, a visit was paid to the lacality and dilir- to the locality and diligent inquiries made, but as to the result of these the police dis- play the utmost reticence. No boat leaves the docks now unless it has been first searched by the officers. One curious outcome of the c-earch has been the finding by the police of two characters who were "wanted," so they do not consider they have had their work in vain. I Unfounded Rumours I In the opmiQn of a well-known retired police official, writes a correspondent, Henry Heathfield is not only still in Cardiff, but actually within one hundred yards of the gaol! The ofiicer says that he has strong reason for believing that the runaway is being hidden in Sa.ndon-place, and that the people who are concealing him would willingly hide him for six months or more. The police, it is said, have been informed of this, and have even had the house pointed to them, but whether they disbelieve the statement, or de simply waiting for their quarry to break oover, is uncertain. The Cardiff police deny that they have received any information of Heathfield being hidden in Sandon-plaoe. This street is the little Italy" of Car- diff. Here live all the olive-skinned ice- I cream merchants and gaily-dressed organ- grinding ladies. On inquiry at several houses in the street, our reporter arrived at the conclusion that there was no foundation for the rumour. A prominent member of the borough deteo- tive force told our representative that it was the opinion of the police that Heath- field had made his escape out of the country by Newport or some other port.

I PEACE PROSPECTS. I I HOPEFUL FEELING PREVAILS I [Press Association Special Service.] NEW YORK, Saturday. M. Sato, in an interview upon the message which he sent to the New York World" yes- terday, says that the proposals of Japan have been framed in a conciliatory spirit. He would hesitate now to use the term ulti- matum. The terms of his country, however, would not vary much from those already pre- sented and known. He did not think that to-day's meeting; would be the last. lie believed that the plenipotentiaries would come together again. This, it should be remembered, was a. friendly conference. It is given out to-day that IvI. Witte, addressing Baron Komura upon Japan's latest terms, said: You have merely presented old terms in a new guise. If you put a woman into a man's drass she is still a woman, isn't she? There is no change in this condition." The conference to-day will re-assemble at three o'clock this afternoon. M. AVitte, talking last night,' declared that the conference would be the last. He dow not expect any further Japanese concession, and there would be none on the part of Russia. PORTSMOUTH, Saturday. Mr. Peirce received a long message in cipher from Oyster Bay at 1.30 this morning, and, although the contents are unknown, a distinctly hopeful feeling prevails. Early yesterday evening an eminent Japanese politician in the course of conversa- tion, while conveying the impression that t'he outlook was dark, gave intimations tha.t Japan might abate her demand for monetary compensation by using some formula accept- able to Russia. When the adjournment was made last Wednesday no time was fixed for the assembling of the conference to-day, but yesterday evening M. Witte notified the Japanese mission through his secretary that I he would be ready to meet them at 9.30 this morning. After consultation the Japanese envoys demurred to this arrangement on the ground that the minutes of the laist sitting would not be completed by that time, and at their request the meeting was fixed for three this afternoon. [Press Association Special Service.] ST. PETERSBURG, Saturday. A telegram to the Rasokoye Slovo" from its correspondent at Portsmouth, says that M. Witte, after reading a dispatch from St. Petersburg, remarked that he had succeeded in convincing St. Petersburg more th-an be had expected. The correspondent adds that it may, therefore, be hoped that an agree- ment will be arrived at in principle, and j that the queStion now rpsolves itself in the fixing of the sum to be paid by Rueeia to J apan. I Sounding the Amur. NEW MOVE -BY THE JAPANESE I (CENTRAL NEWS SPECIAL SERVICE), ST. PETERSBURG, Saturday. A dispatch which arrived from Gunchuling during the night says the Japanese have now concentrated at the mouth of the Amur a considerable flotilla of small craft. The ves- sels appear to be engaged in fishing, but observa-tion has revealed the fact that they are taking soundings at all possible pointe.

I RED FUNNEL FIRM. I Treat For Cardiff Children. At the meeting of the Cardiff Guardians to-day, the Rev. J. R. Buckley presiding, a letter was read from Mr. W. T. Symonds (Barry and Bristol Channel Steamship Com- pany) offering a.t an early date to take the children in the cottage homes (about 300) to and from Weston free, the same arrangement to a.pply to the officials in charge, and mem- bers of the board who desired toaccompany the children were also invited. September 1 was mentioned as a suitable date. The offer wias accepted with thanks, Mil's. Muilin saying that those of the guardians who could would go with the children, .amd do their utmost to look after them. In reply to Mr. J. R. Llewellyn, it was stated the intention was thm Hhe dM:ldt'<? ,M BMry should alco partic' i*J, paje m ? &t<Mm<f. J

JDKY DOCK TROUBLEI Complications Thicken CONFLICTING INTERESTS OF LABOUR SECTIONS. The dry dock owners of the Cardiff district announce that they have agreed upon a future line of action." This, in view ef the stoppage, in which the members of the Labourers' Union are the immediate factors. The line of action has not been disclosed, but there are many indications confirming the foreoast made in the "Evening Express" days ago, namely, that free labour will be iuvited. Indeed, report has it that the closed yards will be opened on Monday morning, and that such men as are willing to accept employment on owners' terms will be put on, but at the time of writing that report had not been confirmed. Yesterday we indicated belief that there is much more on hand than the dead-lock with the labourers, and the action of the local heads of the three leading trades unions (shipwrights, boilermakers, and engineers), in seeking to intervene in the dispute, pro- vided ample proof that they appreciate the I position. The fact is that the complications I are thickening, and not the least of these complications is found in the conflicting- interests of certain of the labour sections. It is not generally known that the Ship- wrights' Society and the Drillers' Society are practically combined, and that for some time past, an alteration in their rules has been under discussion by the members. The pro- posed alterations, we are informed, involve a claim on tfae part of the drillers to certain work hitherto done by members of the Amal- gamated Society of Engineers. The latter naturally demur to some oi the proposals of the former, and the matter is still in abeyance. I Then there is growing on the part of the men an uneasy feeling that the dockowners' real objective is not the Labourers' Union, but the more important Amalgamated Society of Engineers. The rules of employ- ment which the Labourers' Union gave notice to terminate, and which the dockowners now declare must be dropped overboard as a condition of renewed negotiations were (we are informed) rules practically won by the Amalgamated Society of Engineers, the Labourers' Union having taken full advan- tage, in framing their own rules, of the concessions secured by the former body. Meanwhile much profitable work is being diverted from the dry docks of the district, and great suffering is imminent to Tlhe families of the men, who are in voluntary or enforced idleness. The Owners' Meeting I The first meeting on Friday, which com- menced in the afternoon, was a, general meeting of the employers' association, at which a report was received from the emer- gency committee, who had met the men's representatives the day before. This com- menced at three, and lasted until six, and no sooner was it over than the emergency committee, who had been given full power to act on behalf of the association, met and sat until nine o'clock. When the members left they absolutely refused to divulge the nature of their policy. To a. ques- tion, howevor, whether the letter from the! conference of shipwrights, engineers, and.' boilermakers' representatives, who had endeavoured to open the way to a settlement, had been considered, they replied that it had been given no place in their discussion. This statement, naturally, confirms the view that they regard negotiations as having been con- eluded, at a,ny rate, for the present, and that their next actie,n will be entirely inde- pendent of the men's Unions. The following official report was given to the press:— A full meeting of the employers' associa- tion was held on Friday afternoon and received a report of the emergency commit- tee, relative to the abortive conference held on Thursday with representatives of the Labourers' Union, The meeting fully endorsed and unanimously approved the action of the emergency committee in declining to didcues the rules originally sub- mitted by the Labour3rs' Union, involving a substantial increase in wages and reduction in hours of labour. SubseQuently, the emergency committee, who are invested with plenary powers, carefully considered and unanimously agreed upon a future lineI of action. I Meeting of the Men The men held a mass meeting on Friday night at St. David's-hall, Cardiff. There was a Largo gathering, the proceedings being private. Mr. Johnston, the men's repre- sentative, was seen after the meeting, and he Lwaid the proceedings were enthusiastic, and the men were unitedly resolved to stand by the position they had taken up. Intentions of the Owners The Cardiff dry dock owners still refuse to disclose the policy on which they have decided, but the trend of inquiries this morn- ing tends to oonfirm the view that they will shortly re-open their yards to such men as are willing to return to work. There is little doing in the yards, but last night the steamship Germa was docked by Messrs. Mordey, Carney, and Oo., and the steamship Hathor is expected to go into the Channel Dry Dock early this evening. The Genua requires considerable Tepairs, but neither firm would state from what source they expect to obtain the necessary labour. TO HEAL THE BREACH We understand that at the conference of labour leaders yesterday the following pro- posals were miade:- 1. That the men should return to work on the old conditions. 2. That a joint conference should t(hen take place to discuss the owners' a.nd men's proposed new rules; and 3. That, in the event of the parties failing to a.gree, the matter should be referred to arbitration. The men are understood to have accepted I these proposals, which are also to be sub- mitted to the employers. Evil Effects of the Strike at Barry Although the dispute is a small one, affect- ing but a comparatively minor proportion of the iabotir employed at the docks, the effects of the strike upon Barry have already been very seriously felt. In connection with the local ship-repairing industry at least a ccraple of thousand hands are regularly employed, but the present dispute having scared off most of the ships which would otherwise have been repaired at Barry, the dry docks are practically at a standstill. So severely are the effects of the strike felt in the town that tradespeople declare that they have not experienced such bad times since the coal strike, several years ago. House agents also complain that they have the utmost difficulty in collecting rents, but very little money having been earned by those engaged in any branch of employment in connection with the ship-repairing trade during the past month.

Collier's Sudden Death.1 II A WIFE'S TERRIBLE DtSCOVERY Alban Jenkins, a, young man, 28 yea.r8 of age, residing at 46, Bryndwyndham-terna'ce, Tynewydd, Treherbcrt, died with remarkable sail derm ess this morning whilst in bed.

I Cardiff Paupers. INCREASE IN NUMBERS AND COST; At the meeting of the Cardiff Board of Guardians to-day Mr. Harris (clerk) submitted th-J returns sent in by Mr. Bircbam (Local Government Board inspector) giving statistics as to the numbor of paupers iu his district and the cost incurred. The actual percentage of paupers at Cardiff now on the books was 2.5 of the population, as against 2.5 last year, and 2.3 in 1895. For England and Wales the percentage was 2.5, for South Wales 2.7. and for his (Mr. Bircham's) district 2.5 per cent. The cost of in and outdoor pauperism per head of the population waa in Cardiff 5s. 10d.. ae against 3s. 9d. for England and Wales, and 3s. 2}d. in 1895. The Chairman (the Rev. J. R. Buckley) said thea-e li.L.,d no doubt been an increase all round in the last ten years- The Clerk: We wo a t; I r the same bs ft,lwd-

OCEAN MYSTERY. I Morriston Man Missing I i FROM A CAPE LINER. I I Heartrending Scene on Board, On the arrival a.t Southampton to-day of the Cape mail steamer Kinfauns Castle it was reported that on the 15th inst. a second class passenger, named Morgan, who was pro- ceediug to Morri&ton, near Swansea, dis- appeared. No trace or liim was afterwards found, although the vessel was searched from stem to stern. Morgan's father and brother were awaiting the arrival of the ship, and their grief when the sad tidings were broken to them was distressing to witness. Our Southampton correspondent wires: — A painful tragedy of the sea was reported to have taken place during the voyage of the Union Castle liner Kinfauns Castle from the Cape on the arrival of that vessel at South- ampton about daybreak this morning. Among the vessel's passengers was a young man, named J. Morgan, who was returning to his homa at M-orriston, Swansea. He had been employed eomewlhere at the Cape in the busi- ness o.f a. grocer, and was, it is now stated, returning home for a, holiday. He had cabled his intention to his parents, and on the arrival of the vessel Morgan's father and brother were on the quayside. On the 15th of this month Morgan mysteriously diE- appeared, and from that day no record has been found of him or anything which would explain his disappearance. He was last seen on the evening of the day mentioned on deck amidahip, but, though exhaustive searches had been made throughout the vŒ"I3el, no trace of him oould be found, or anything that would explain the mystery. It is stated that Morga.n was in good health when he embarked, and throughout the journey, prior to the 15th, exhibited the best I of spirits, ta-kiiA. part in deck games a.nd generally establishing himself a favourite with ail those among the seeord-clas-c pas- sengers vrhom he met. When the news of the disappearance of their relative wac broken to the father and brother their distress was very affecting, and they left the sbipside in deep grief. They had apparently returned home, for their movements are not known at Southampton. An official investigation has been made into the facte, and foul play is not suspected.

I Welsh Golfing Union. THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING The annual general meeting of the Welsh Golfing Union was held at the Castle Hotel, Conway, last might, when Sir R. Williams- Bulkeky (president) presided over a good number of delegates, including Messrs. Lewis Gomtwaltz, John Duncan, jun., and J. A. Alex- ander (Glamorganshire), J. P. Edmunds, James Morgan, and the Rev. W. E. Shaw (Eadyr), E. U. David, W. S. Vivian, and J. T. Phamix (Porthcawl), Professor Edwards aud P. Morton (Eorth), Captain Hughes Morgan (Brecon), R. E. Gold (Swansea), W. W. Brodie (Ashburnham), and Percy Charleton I (Newport), Dr. Tenison Collins (hon., secre- tary), and Mr. Andrew Flet.cher (Margam Abbey) were also present. At the -outset. Dr. Collins expressed pleasure that Sir Richard had consented to become chairman of the e-xccutive committee for the ensuing year. Like those who had preceded him, he was a keen sportsman, and they felt sure that in his hands the government of the union would be as effectively carried out as in the past. (Applause.) Sir Richard, replying, said thanks were due from him to them for the honour conferred upon him. He was a sorry novice at the game of golf, but in golf he recognised the very best sporting instincts that can be found in English sport. (Applacse.) It would afford him great plea.sure to further the interests of the union in the interest of sport. (Applause). The financial statement showed that after paying the expenses in connection with this year's meeting, there would be a credit balance of about £ 120, whi<>:h was considered highly satisfactory. On the motion of Major Green (Carnarvon- shire), seconded by Mr. Muspratt (Rhyl), the officers of the union were re-elected en bloc, and Mr. E. U. David (Cardiff) was unani- mously re-elected vice-chairman of the committee. The affiliation to the union of the Newport Club. recommended by ftspecial meeting, was confirmed. It was reported that only one invitation- from the Borth Club—had been received for the 1907 championship meeting. In subsequent correspondence, however, that club notified their intention of extending their course and enlarging the club house, and wished conse- quently to postpone their invitation to the union to hold the championship meeting at Borth. In reply to Mr. John Duncan, jun., Dr. Collins stated that the rules did not prevent the championship meeting being held in North or South Wales two years consecu- tively, and Mr. E. U. David, on behalf of the Porthcawl Club, said that if the union had any difficulty in finding a course in North Wales for tihe meeting in 1907, the Porthoawl Club would welcome the union to their course. (Applause.) It was a matter for sur- prise that the Aberdovey Club had not sent any members to that meeting or sent in an invitation for the 1907 meeting. It w-a-s a pity that the union did not receive greater support from North Wales clubs. Professor Edwards (captain of tfhe Borth Glub) said his club, when they decided to defer their invitartion, was under the impres- sion that the Aberdovey Club had sent an invitation for the meeting to be played there. The Chairman thought it advisable to defer the selection of a course for the 1907 meeting till next year, when further invitations might be received. This was agreed to. In anticipation of the large entry for the meeting -at Radyr nest year, it was decided to make a limit of the handicap to twelve. The meeting decided that the subscription from t-hc, Wekih Golfing Union and from the various un,ion olubs Should in future be devoted to a competition amongst the profes- sionals attached to the clubs in the union. This will not interfere with the tournament instituted by the Professional Golfers' Asso- ciation or the "News of ihe World" Cup Competition. The arrangements for t'he professional com- petition at iradyr were left in t.he hands of t'he executive committee. 10-DAY'S PLAY To-day's programme included the qualify- ing round (36 holes, medal) for the amateur championship of Wales, the Duncan Shield competition (medal handicap, 36 holes), and the Llatigattock bowl contest (36 holes, medal scratch), each of which w&s decided on one return. Bain fell heavily during the previous night, but by the time the competitors had assembled on the course the clima.tic condi- tions were favourable. The course had greatly improved. One of the first competitorr, to take out his card for the first round of eighteen holes was John Duncan, junior, who has entered for the three events. He returned the excellent score of 73 for the ronndthe same as that with whiCh he carried off the Tredegar Cup the previous day. This is the record score of the meeting, and shows thaat Duncan is in brilliant form. He is so far first- favourite a« the winner of the amateur championship. [ George Renwick, junior, also a. Glamorgan < Club mac, is another hot favourite.

There was only a small attendance on the St. Lawrence Ground, the weather being fine but not too settled. Cotter and M'Leod (pavilion end) bowled, and in the former's first over A.

Alec Hearne completed his 50 in an hour and fifty-five minutes, and then again played on. Cotiter in the same over sent Day's middle stump flying, the fifth wicket falling at 187, and the sixtlha run later. Hearne .hie ix 4's and Day seven. The 200 appeared in two hours and ten minutes, but 18 runs later hesitation cost the Kent captain his wicket, Hill throwing him out at the bowler's end, Cotter turning I the bail.

f Newport v. Cardiff. I I THE USK8IDE PROFESSIONALS' I BENEFIT The only game which Newport and GArdiff have played this season was started to-day in equally weather en the Newport ground. It will probably be remembered that the former game at Cardiff down on the fixtures to be played on August 5 was abandoned in order to keep the iiitch for the match n'hicli South Wales played against the Australians in the ensuing we-ek. T-)-(IaY's game was set apart for the benefit of the three Newport professionals, Silvcrlock, Steeples, and Diver, j There was an enCüurmgmg attendance at the start, tboh the weather wa? not at all I ,roJUi6ii' A luve 3iumber of tiekeu h" JLibeem <oM ? ?he t<n? <? gi^rt,* prior po on tb* VOWA 6 the match. The heavy rain of the previous day and night had soaked the ground, but when play started about noon the pitch had fairly well driod up again. Cardiff had very bad luck, not only in the actual play, but in the matter of getting a team together. They only managed to get nine so-so players to go up to Newport in a batch. Of course, the county match at Exeter had something to do with this. Kewport was much more fortu- nate. The eleven put in the field was quite a strong side. Cardiff won the toss, and de- cided to have first knock. J. G. Clark and Hirst going in to the bowling of Steeples and Stedman. Kuns came slowly from both -end, the batsmen being careful. Vive runs came off the first four overs. Then Clark got Steeples away to the boundary, but a couple of deliveries later Hirst, whilst attempting to sneak a run, was very smartly thrown out by E. S. Phillips. 114 was a brilliant piece of fielding. The throw-in was from square leg, and there was only one stick to throw at. C. Colley went in. but goon lost Clark, who was taken ill the slips off Stedman. Two wickets were down for nine runs. and Colley succumbed to Steeples. Dyke got. Stedman. away for a boundary, but. in attempting a. square leg hit he sent the ball to L. Phillips, who dropped it. The batsmen started to run, but p;?; :ipr. recovering himself quickly. threv.- in vc.y em; r Jy, aud Diver had the off before Dyke got back to his crease. Loth bowlers kept a good length, and disas- ters came thick upon one another. Steeples made an awful mess of Perriu's middle stump. Things went from bad to worse, and in about an hour from the start the whole of the Cardiff batsmen available had been used up for the poor total of 25 runs. What wa-s to be doner1 T. Lock and A. K. Other were absent. There were grumblings and growls heard round the ground at the un- satisfactory treatment which Cardiff bad shown to Newport, and especially to the Newport pros. It was decided to take the luncheon adjournment with a view of seeing whether the two missing men would arrive in the interval. and if they did mot, the innings would have to be regarded as closed. After the adjournment for lunch, T. Lock and Paul arrived from Cardiff. Lock went in with M'Kay, the not out. and carried the sco-re on about a dozen, but no stand wae made by the tail more than by the head, amd the whole innings closed for 42. Newport started baiting with Silvcrlock and Fra.uk Ree" at the wicke't~. The professional played carefully, and then became more free. Rees was often out of his crease, and at length paid the penally. The Newport cap- tain rather reversed the order of going in, and sent Steeples and Diver in a.t the fell of the first and second wicked respectively, aE it was a mat oh for the benent of the pro- fejsionajs.

Run Down in the Avon. INQUEST ON THE VICTIMS An inquest wac. held to-day at Bristol on the bodies of the victims of the fatal collision which occurred off Avonmouth on August 19, when the Flora Bell, a steam barge, was run down by the steamship Itegmaki. The evidence showed that the steamship had just cast off her tug, which, cantering off, struck the barge on the starboard quarter. Almost immediately the iargo steamship came on a.nd hit the Flora Bell, stem on, amidships. T'he barge's captain was knocked out of the wheel bunk, and picked up later unconscious. Two of tihe crew of the ill-fated barge, however. William Clutterbuck, engineer, and Wiliam Croos,, j deck hand, both of Bristol, were drowned. Operations for bringing the barge out of the water had been continued during the week, but hopes of recovering the bodies had almost gone. However, both were recovered on Thursday and towed up the Avon. I The inquiry resulted in a verdict of Accidentally drowned."
