STORY FOR TO-DAY. The Old Man's Romancel He was quite an old man when I knew him -oldH" in looks, perhaps, than in years. I wa:; a, struggling student, trying to get through a law college in C- when I met him. He wore a shabby, threadbare coat, and a du^ty old hat of soft felt. I had often noticed him coming in and out of the musty little third-rate boarding-hous'e which necessity then compelled me to call home. With his kindly wrinkled face, hair partly white, and general air of good breed- ing, ho was quite noticeable in contrast with the ordinary inhabitants of Elm-street, Shabby as he was, he somehow seemed out of place. One evening we jostled against each other in the narrow, dark hallway, and I received 3. rather severe knock from the banisters. He was full of concern, and insisted upon having me come into his rooms., I did not need very much persuasion, and gladly entered. What a queer little room it was, and so characteristic of the man! There was a lutle iron bed in the corner of the room, kept scrupulously neat and smooth (he afterwards told me that he took care of the room hiIllôeliland remarkbly clean for a two e'uurs- a table with a faded green cover, an old couch, a chest of drav-ers, and tack in a little corner, cur- tfv ;n<j off with chintz, was, a small wa?h- ,b.nd.

We loved each very dearly, and looked forward to the happy time when we might, perhaps, be married; but I was poor, and her father forbade it and sent her from me.

Siller motioned me to a small box that stood on the table. I brought it and opened it for him. He picked out a card, handed it to me. and whispered, "Hurry." I spent the only dollar I had for a cab, and soon found myself outside a palatial residence in Park- l'a;np.

Wireless Telephony. I SWANSEA INVENTOR'S VARIED I CAREER Mr. Thomas Giadwell, the inventor of the wireless telephone which we described in an article some days ago, is a ma.n who haA had particularly varied experiences. He was born in 1859 in a small village in Suffolk, the son of an Inland Revenue offieer. When he was seven years old his father's eyesight I frailed him, and the family left for London, Mr. THOMAS GLADWELL. I [Photo J'3.Ck Lewis, Swansea. settling in Poplar, where he was sent to a charity school, going home often "to a dinner of bread and water," his father being super- annuated on Z36 a year. His father later oc, recovering from his amiotion, found a situation in Oxford, and Mr. Gladwell was sent to a Blue-coat School. His ohief recol- lections were of tfhe reserved pews in Carfax Church and the generosity of certain Oxford gentlemen in "frequently sending the boys to the gallery of the old Theatre Royal. At the age of fourteen he left school, and was to Mr. Turner (several times since Mayor of Oxford) as a plumber, whitesmith, Ac. During hi8 eighteen months there he wad the victim of a gas explosion at the Horse and Jockey Public-house, where he was doing a job. lids father subsequently becoming permanently incapacitated, bjs indentures were can-celled, and he became a milliner's errand boy, but, not liking this, he joined tihe Navy. He passed every examina- tion and received full promotion. and in 1S89 he aeked for his discharge, which was granted with regret." He then learnt the "alphabet of practical business" at the establishment of a Farringdon-road company of merchants, &«. He kept up the scientific studies he bad started in the Navy, giving nearly a. hundred lectures on psychological subjects in London. He studied nervous diseases, and was with two doctors in Brighton, substequently returning to London. where he had many patient.3 as a layman specialist. Then an aged lady became interested in his work, and placed him on a financial footing to enable him to put his ideas respecting the wirele6s telephone into practice. Whilst pursuing his experiments he became a theatrical touring manager and proprietor, and after deserting this sphere, which he had taken up as a diversion from technical study, he rented a small farm in the country, where he found more time for his experiments. Five or six years ago his benefactress died, and he was thrown on his own resources, but he has emerged from his difficulties so far as to have been able to bring his wireless telephone to the stage of completion described in our article. His other ideas and inventions include a new life-saving apparatus, a submarine destroyer, a. new shell heavy gun, Ac.

"RUINED BY HIS BROTHER." SOLICITOR WEEPS IN COURT AT MOUNTAIN ASH. An interpleader action was heard at Mountain Ash on Monday (before his Honour Judge Gwilym Williams). The oom- plainant wad Mr. T. B. Wadley, of Cardiff, :he defendant Mr. W. J. Ship ton, formerly 11solicitor of Mountain Ash, and the claimant I Mr. Samuel Shipton. Mr. St. John Francia- Williams (instructed by Mr. C. P. Ca.dle, of Cardiff) appeared for the execution creditor. and Mr. John Bryant, solicitor, Pontypridd, represented the claimant. The action had reference to the furniture and certain goods and chattels at the claimant's office at 54, Oxford-street, Mountain Ash, which had been levied upon on an elocution issued by com- plainant. I The Claimant said that he took an office at Mountain Ash i.n 1904, and acted for some time as mu-nag-ing clerk for his brother, W. J. Shipton. Subsequently he pur- chased his brother's interest in the otiicf, an arrangement which was to have continued for twelve months, but which, as the result of a certain case at Mountain Ash Police-court, came to an end. Then the claimant cai-riedon the practice of a solicitor himself until October, 1906. All the moneys received at the Mountain Ash Office were paid irrto his banking account at the local branch of the Metropolitan Bank, and had nothing at all to do with his brother who had an account at Lloyds. Mr. St. John Franois-Williams contended that the business at Mountain Ash belonged to Mr. W. J. Shipton, that in October, 1905, a summons was issued in the name of W. J. Shipton. and that the claimant had left Mountain Ash for Margate. Re-examined by Mr. Bryant, claimant said that at the police-court he haod said that when he left for Margate he asked his brother to look after his practice for him until he returned. Witness said that he had to pay hundreds of pounds for his brother, and, breaking down, witness said, He has completely ruined me." Asked as to why he gave up a lucrative business at Mountain Ash to go to Margate, the debtor wept bitterly, and ultimately explained that his sweetheart, now his wife, had completely broken down in health, and had to go to Margate, and he went there to ha near her. Since then he had married her, His brother had been in dharge of the busi- ness as his clerk until he absconded, a warrant having been issued against him. His Honour said he accepted the evidence j of Mr. Shipton. although there was no written arrangement between them, as they were brothers. He gave judgment for claimant, with costs.

FARMER'S ACTION AT CHEPSTOW. At Chepstow on Monday (before his Honour Judge Owen) Vivian Prewett, farmer, Penterry, claimed 125 from Charles Beard, Tintern. for damages for trespass by defendant's horses, and for injury said to be caused by one of them kicking his colt and breaking its leg. Mr. C. Evil1 appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. Lyndon Moore for defendant. After hearing several witnesses, his Honour said the action failed on almost every ground. It was sufficient to say defenaant did not own the horses, alleged to have done- the damage, that he was not bailee, and that he did not consider plaintiff's land properly fSnced. He gave judgment for defendant, because there was no liability on his part, with costs.

MINING FATALITIES I KNOWLEDGE ot COLLIERY WORK I Address by Principal Griffiths I Principal Griffiths, F.R.S.. Cardiff, and Mr. Henry Da vies, the county mining lecturer, delivered addres-ses at the monthly meeting of the Rhondda. District of Miners on Mon- day. Mr. Henry Davies urged that a large number of the lives lost in the South Wales coalfield annually could be saved if only proper care were taken. Last year 448 lives had been lost in South Wales. In the case of the explosions these had occurred, doubt- less. through want of juugment, discretion, or knowledge on the pa.rt of one individual; but many of those fatalities which had happened through the falling of roof, &c., could have been avoided if the men themselves had only taken proper care. There was a higher per- centage of loss of life in South Wales than in any other part of the United Kingdom, and this was due to carelessness and not to the supposed fact that Welshmen were less com- petent or took less pride in their work than ether people. One of their first duties was to elect a strong workmen's committee, who should regularly inspect the mines and pre- sent true reports of the exact condition of things. As was evidenced by the coroners' inquiries into explosions, eight out of every ten lives were lost on the ma.in road, whither the men rushed, but instead of thereby going into a place of safety they practically walked into a death-trap. If there were available oapatble men thoroughly conversant with the workings of a. colliery to lead the others in the event of an explosion to the return air ways and other places of sa-fety many lives would be saved. Mr. D. Watts Morgan advocated the appoint- ment of working men inspectors, who should have practical, as well as theoretical, know- ledge of colliery work. Principal Griffiths dwelt upon the necessity of the establishment of an efficient school of mining. He regarded South Wales as the premier coalfield in the world, Dut in the matter of scientific knowledge of mining they were not nearly so advanced as other countries, such as Germany and America. Schools of mining should be established, equipped with laboratories and staffed with lecturers and professors. In America there were three schools of mines, which were heavily endowed, and where hundreds ."î practical men underwent a prolonged and thorough course of training. One of these colleges had an income of nearly £ 40,000 per annum, and he asked them why wa.- not suoh an institution estab- lished in South Wales. There was an immense fund of intelligence in this oountry which had never been touched, and there was, con- sequently; no encouragement given *o work of research niori connection with the 6Óenc.e of mining. It was for the workmen to take the initiative, for be knew that thousands of pounds were available which would be granted by leading men whom he knew if only the workmen exhibited any desire to have these schools established. If the miners of South Wales would only contribute cd. a year one of the finest mining schools in the world could be established there. The effect of a well-endowed school of mining in such a district would be incrediole in its results on the life a.nd health of the mining com- munity. A Delegate said that the men who made true reports were victimised by the under- officials, and though the managers and agents would not object to fair reports being given, they upheld the officiate. It was due to this fact that regular examinations on the part of the men had been diecom- tinned at many collieries.

LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. I THEATRE ROYAL, CARDIFF. I After four week. of pantomime and two of musical comedy, "On the Love Path," a new oomedy from the Haymarket Theatre, Lon- don, brings an agreeable change to the pro- gra.mme at the Caxdiff Theatre Royal this week. It is played by Miss Emma Hutchison and Mr. Percy Hutchison's company, and. as it was oniy two or three months ago that Mr. Hutchison was here in The Freedom of Suzanne," Cardiff people are fortunate to 1800 so quick a return of this clever actor. In the company which supports him are Mr. George Mudie, the author of a very laugh- able curtain-raiser which precedes the piece; Mias Lilias Earle, who played so charmingly in the last visit to Cardiff of "Cousin Kate," and Mr. T. W. Rawson, who is fresh from Sir Charles Wyndham's oompany. And in such hands the leading parts are played with force and finish. One of the best points of this piece is found in ite variety of situation. With an easy flow of fitting circumstance it moves from comedy to drama, then almost to melodrama, and back again to pnre comedy, without a jarring note. I The Story is of a Mr. Taunton with several II Christian names, whose rapidly exhausted and rapidly renewed love affairs are the veritable art of quick-change. His ardour leads to peculiar complications with three American sisters. One has saved him from a, watery gnave, so he thinks he ought to marry her, and another, whom he mistakes for his rescuer, overhears him declare he will wed her when he is ready. She is engaged to somebody else, ami so both feel very embarrassed; and then the third sister conies on, gathers up what is left of his affections and straightens things out. Her most difficult task is to square a threatened breach of promise, but she discovers in the "angry father" her divorced husband, a swindler with a spurious daughter, and so things are made easy. The close of the play sees Mr. Taunton shouting a proposal of marriage through her locked bedroom door, and as the curtain goes down he is accepted. "In the Love Path" provides one with plenty of amusement, and is a piece well acted, while the preceding farce, His Land- lady," is too funny to be missed. KING'S THEATRE, CARDIFF. At the King's Theatre on Monday Mr. Geoffrey de Mowbray's company in the detec- tive play, "The Bank of England," was greatly appreciated by a good audience. The play deals with the criminal investigations of Sherlock Holmes, whose part has been safely entrusted to Mr. Charles II, Lester. Mr. Walter Bentley, as "Stephen Hartley," proves himself an actor of no mean ability, and Miss Phyllis Orme, as Aminta J. Beame," an Amerioan widow, is typical of our breezy cousins across the sea. Mr. Ernest Dare, ae "Eric Dane," a young bank clerk, is very successful, and so a.lc:,o is Mr. Henry Compton as Gordon Isaacs," a moneylender. Mr. Charles Goff, as "Tommy Sprouts," a detective ill embryo, is respon- sible for a lot of fun. The orchestra, under Mr. J. D. Rogers, plays an excellent pro- gramme of mueic. THE EMPIRES. CARDIFF. There is a brilliant array of talent at the Cardiff Empire this week, and on Monday night there were crowded houses. Tb.a star of the evening was Vesta Tilley, who had a great reception, and was re-called with enthusiasm. The clever little artiste's impersonations of the dashing artilleryman and of the dawdling dude in immaulate flannels by the sad sea wayes were master- pieces of that form of art. Stewart a.nd Morgan, in a pa-thetic "Leav in;g Ireland" episode, introduced some popular Irish melodies. W. H. Downs, a coloured vocalist, oontibuted his quota of songs with a mellifluous voice. Physical cul- ture and development for ladies was peen at its best in the u-nique performanc3 of the Five Bellatzer Sisters. Of the rest of the turns all provoked laughter in one continuous roar. The comedy-sketch, The Naughty Professor." by Amann and Hartley, was excruciatingly funny; full of brightness and movement was "The Desperato Remedy," presented by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Finden; the drolleries of Drawee. Frisco, and M-ambv were side- splitting; and with the liveoly Mannous in "Uncle Yank" there was hardly a dry eye to be seen. NEWPORT. Tarro Myaki, the champion ju-jitsn wrestler of Japan, has aroused much interest at New- port. His art is one which has for Rome months been regarded with favour. Wrestling in the older styles has been "coming on" at Newport-, but this method, showing that the weak may be capable of standing up to the strong, has aroused quite a new and powerful interest. TaTro M'yaki is the finest exponent of the art who has yet been seen in these parts. Verno and Voyce are here again in very nice nong-soenas. A clever and delight- ful turn is done by the Wally-Hoete Trio of comedy acrobats and jugglers. THE LYCEUM, NEWPORT. I Perhaps no melodrama of recent tames I has achieved more success or awakened more interest, especially in Wales and on the Celtic fringe, than Mr. Henry Arthur Jones's "Saints and Sinners." After creating a powerful impression in other parts of the Prinoipality, it opened at the Newport Lyceum on Monday, and from all the evidences of the first night is assured a great welcome. Its success is due in part to the wonderful inherent power of the play itself, and in part to tb^ easterly way in which, it is placed W.(,W public. Mr. Harding Thomas, the great T#/>lsh k etor, who is at the head of the p.:on. is now a name to conjure with in tn-ae parts. What- ever goes into lines rcldc-ioras io hts forte.

CARDIFF COUNCIL I OPENING OF NEW TOWN HALL AND LAW COURTS Mr. Harry Cousins, the Cardiff registrar, has set a. good example to his fellow-citizens by promising a judge's chair to be placed in one of the new Law Courts in Oathays Park. The fact was reported to the Town-hall Com- mittee on Monday, and the members were unanimous in according Mr. Cousins a vote of thankr. It was stated that Mr. James Morgan would also make some similar useful present. The next matter, broached by the city engineer (Mr. Harpur) was Less satisfactory. He said that four large trees had fallen duri-ng the past year, and one tree had damaged the fencing to the extent of about £100, He anticipated that three more big trees near the corner of Corbett-road would be blown over by the next westerly gale, and these would cause further considerable damage to the fencing. The removal of the 're?es is Prohib?tkd by clause or clauses in I the lese by which the Cat-hays cP l='%L, ns transferred from the Marquess of Bute to the corporation.—It was decided, on the motion of Mr. Lewis Morgan, that the tope of the trees be cut off, so as to make them safe. The Chairman (Alderman Carey) then referred to the fact that the opening of the new town-hall and law-courts was agitating the minds of the public. He understood that the law-courts only required to be furnished to be complete and ready for opening. Mr. Lan-cbetter (the architect) said that the buildings would not be complete until all the telephone arrangements had been put in order. They wanted three or four months to complete the building work. and it would be five months before they could occupy the buildings. Mr. Lewis Morgan, said that the Lord Chief Justice would be at the Maroh Assizes in Cardiff, atid he (Mr. Morgan) was hopeful that the law-courts could be got ready by that time. Mr. Lanchester shook his head, and said it would be impossible. He further stated that they would be getting tenders for the furni- ture shortly. Mr. Morgan Thomas .thought it was a serious business to havo. two big buildings ike the new town-hall and law courts on their hands. The sooner they- could dispose of the old town-hall the better for the rate- payers. To talk about five months seemed absurd. Could not a lot of the telephone work be done after they had gone into the new buildings. Mr. Lanchester: Not satisfactorily. Mr. Morgan Thomas asked when they intended opening negotiations for selling or letting the old town-hall? The Chairman said that the property and markets committee would deal with that matter at their next meeting. Alderman David Jones then proposed that the new buildings be opened on July 18, and this was unanimously agreed to. The suggestion that there should be elec- trical heaters in the caretaker's room was set aside on the ground of costliness. The jChairnian remarked that numerous applications were being receivsd from various societies and bodies of people for permission to go over the new town-hall and law-courts. Whiist annous to a-ooede to those requests he would point out to the public of Cardiff that the buildings were at present in the hands of the contractors, and the committee could not do anything. Many ratepayers might, perhaps, think the committee discourteous, but the fact was that they had not yet taken over the charge of the buildings. BALANCE AT THE BANK. I It was reported that the credit baJance at the bank on February 3 was LM,740 6s. 10d., and that there was a further credit balance of £ 41,040 2b. lOd. to tihe funds and deposits account. In reply to a question by Alderman David Jones, the Chairman (Mr. F. J. Beavan) said that the Town-clerk had ruled that the corporation could not lend money to the education authority. CITY TREASURER'S DEPARTMENT. I Mr. R. W. Lewis (acting city treasurer) referred to some remarks of Mr. F. J. Beavan at a meeting of the departments oommittee on Friday last, which might be taken as a reflection upon the efficiency of the staff in the city treasurer's department. Mr. Lewis said that he was very well supported by his staff, who could carry an the work of the department efficiently. Mr. Beavan, in reply, said that no man had a. higher opinion of Mr. Lewis and his staff han he had, but ihe would repeat what he had said: that if anything happened to Mr. Lewis there was no one who could explain the intricacies of the work of the depart- ment. Mr. Lewis drid not agree, and mentioned the names of Mr. Harrison and Mr. Woods as experienced and capable public officials. Eventually the matter was allowed to drop.

ARRESTED AT MANCHESTER. I A DEBTOR WHO IS "WANTED" AT ABERDARE; I At Mountain &,h on Monday Mr. W. R. Davies, of Pontypridd, applied for the suspension of an order for the arrest of Eli Williams, otherwise Eli Kahn, which had been issued by the registrar of Aberdare County- court. Debtor had been carrying oll-business at 7, Fforchaman-road, Cwmaman. Mr. Davies said a receiving order had been made against the debtor, an application to the registrar to adjourn the case to enable the defendant to prove "infancy" being refused. It was alleged that it- was impossible to obtain such proofs at the time owing to the disturbances in Russia. The decision of ihe registrar had been appealed against, and would be shortly heard in London. Meaiir while a warrant for the at of the debtor had been issued by the registrar, but it could not be effected owing to the fact that debtor was atrrested at Mamebest-or gn a charge of false pretences, and the cas against him would be heard in a day or two. The present application was that his honour should suspend the execution jof the warrant until after the appeal against the decision of the registrar should be he4rd. The proof of infancy had now been received. His Honour, without calling upon Mr. W. L. Daniel, the official receives, who opposed the application, said that tiio debtor had absconded, and he might agaii, if the charge against him at the Manchester sessions was dismissed, slip through one's fingers. He must be first arrested. If the debtor was arrest-cd, Mr. Davies might again renew his application for the admiesion of the debtor on bail.

ULCERS FOR 60 YEARS! TERRIBLE RESULTS OF A DOG-BITE. I ENGLISH AND AMERICAN DOCTORS HELP- LESS—MIRACULOUS CURE BY ZAM-BUK. An extraordinary triumph for Zam-Buk has just been investigated by a reporter of tho" Birmingham Sunday Echo." It appears that Mrs. Minett. of 24, Sloane- street. Parade, Birmingham, suffered with chronic ulceration of the leg for more than sixty years, and she recently experienced a miraculous healing by Zam-Buk. She says: When a child of eight, I was bitten on the leg by a dog. A doctor cauterised the place, and a piece of flesh taken from my shoulder was grafted into the wound, but it never healed up soundly. When a young woman I was being con- tinually attended by the doctors. Sometimes my leg would appear bettear for a few days, but only to break out into running sores worse than ever. I went into service, but had to leaye for a Suffolk hospital, and for over three years I was an inpatient and out-patient by turn. I received no benefit. After I married, my leg continued to trouble me. At times the pain was almost unbear- able, and I could never g&t proper rest at nights. I tried all sorts of remedies from the chemists, but could find no relief. "This sort of thing went on year after year. I was always in pain, and tihe sore discharged continually. Twelve months ago I went to America, to see my daughter, and during the voyage I had to keep my bed. The ship's doctor gave me a piaster, which I had to take off again, as it made the pain so intense. In Providence several medical men said nothing could ever do it any good. When I returned to Birmingham I went to the Dispensary for three months, but all to no purpose. One d-ay my youngest daughter brought home a sample box of Zam-Buk, and induced me to try it. With the first application I seemed to find ease, and further treatment with Zam-Buk did me so much good that I sent for a proper supply. One full box com- pleted the cure. and my leg has not troubled me since. The cure is absolutely complete, and my general beaMh is better than it ever was, too." Zam-Buk is unfailing in cases of ulcers, bad legs, inflammation, rashes, eruptions, diseased ankles, aore backs, poisoned or fes- tering sores, cokl-eores, piles, eczema, scalp diseases, pimples, ringworm, running sores, chapped hands, chilblains, colds and chills, chafed skin, cuts, burns, and all injuries to. or diseases of. the skin. All chemists sell Zam-Buk in la. lid. and 2s. 9d. boxes (2s. 9d. size contains nearly four times as much as the Is. lid.); or po.t free from the Zam-Buk Co., Red Cross-street, London. KC. [09

DENIED A TICKET. Welsh Union & Bancroft WHAT MR. WALTER REES SAYS Our Neath representative had an interview I with Mr. vV. E. Rees, secretary of the Welsh Football Union, respecting the refusal to ¡ grant Bancroft, of Swansea, a ticket, as an old international, for the Scotch match on Saturday. I Mr. Rees stated that Bancroft made an application for a ticket for the New Zealand match, whih application was refused on the ground that Ba-ncroit accepted a testimonial from Swansea without the club having first of all consulted the Union and having their permission, thus becoming a professional. As far as the Scotch match was concerned, the secretary received no application, and, had it been received, it would have been treated similarly to the application made in respect of the New Zealand niat-dh. In short, the I Welsh Union regard Bancroft as a profes- sionaJ, and as not being entitled to a ticket as an old international. DAN REES'S CAPTURE: CLAIM FOR COM- MISSION SETTLED. The case in which the Hull Kingston J Rovers Football Club were sued by D. Rees. the Northern Union agent at Cardiff, in respect of commission for the "capture" of Dan Recs. the Welsh international three- quarter, for the Rovers, was, we are informed, settled on Monday by payment of £ 20 coon- mission and all costs. I The hearing of the claim was fixed for to-day (Tuesday) in Judge Owen's court at Cardiff, and there was every prospect of an interest- ing case being heard. The Rovers club had notified their intention of contesting the claim, but in the meantime had offered Rees J;;5 in settlement. This offer Rees refused to I accept, and at the last moment the Hull com- mittee sent him a cheque for the amount mentioned and costs. WALES V. IRELAND. There are sure to be changes tor tne team against Ireland (says the "Athletic News"). The committee will certainly revert to the accepted Welsh formation. A big effort will be made to get E. T. Morgan to turn out once more, and, with Gabe well again, the three-quarter line will be at its strongest. There will be a close fight between G-ibbs and Trew for the outside half position, and there is a shade of odds on the former getting the preference. Two, if not three, of the for- wards failed to satisfy on Saturday, and one, if not two, of the old ones will most probably be given a well-earned rest. ENGLAND V. IRELAND. I The following were chosen on Monday even- ing to represent England at Belfast on Fehru- j arv 17:- Goal: Asbcroft (Woolwich ArseTIali: Backs: Crompton (Blackburn Rovers) and H. Smith (Reading); Half-backs: Warren (Derby County), Vertch (Newcastle), and Houlsiter (Southampton); Forwards: Bond (Preeton North E11d). S. H. Day (Old Malvernians), V. J. Woodward (Tottenham Hotstmr), S. S. Harris, captain (Old Westminsters), and Gcsnoll (Newcastle United). Reserves: Bull (Tottenham Hotspur), and Common (Middlesbrough). GLAMORGAN POLICE V. MOUNTAIN ASH. I At Mountain Ash. After some play the ball came to Ireland, who smartly broke through the defence and gave to Shaw, who, after a fine run, scored in the corner. The kick failed. Nothing more was scored in the first half. In the second half Ainswo-rth dashed over, adding another three points. A moment later Muxworthy made a pretty burst, but was smartly tackled by Spiller. Final score: 'G. T. P'ts. I Mountain Ash. 0 2 6 Glamorgan Police 0 0 0 ABERDARE V. TRE^ERBERT. I At Aberdare. In the first half Flooks got away for Aberdare, and dodging a number of opponents, scored in a good position. D. Jones added the extra points. Aberdare scored another try through M. Beavan, and D. Jones converted. The Aberdare three-quarters started a round of passing in the second half, and M. Beavan, after feinting to pass, scored an unconverted try in the (rner, Two more tries were added by Flooks. Final score: G. T. P ts. I Aberda.Te. 2 3 19 Treherbert 0 0 0 CARDIFF V. MOSELEY: PERCY BUSH'S I CONDITION. At the usual committee meeting, held an Monday, of the Cardiff Football Club it w?s decided to adhere to th§ old formation of eight forwards and two half-baoks for the match against Moseley at the Cardiff Arms Park next Saturday. Gabe has not quite recovered, and will be deputised by Reggie Gibbs, with Cecil Biggs playing on his wing. Percy Bush is under gpecdal treatment for a sprained tendon and heel. He is keen on playing, but. failing his appearance, Gibbs will play outside half. and probably Gwyn Nioholls will take his old position. Ll George has reported himself fit. The following is the team:—Back. H. B Winfield; three-quarter ba?ks. J. L. Wim.m8; R. C. ThomM. R. A. Gibbs, and C. P. Biggs; half-backs. Peroy Bush (captain) a.nd R. J. I David; forwards, G. Northmore, L. George, W. Neill. D. Westacott, E. Rumbe'ow, Ser- geant F. Smith. J. Powell. and J. Brown. I BRISTOL V. NEWPORT. For this match, which tak-cs piace at Bris- tol or Saturday next, the Newport team will be: -Bnck. D. J. Boots; three-quarter backs, W. Thomas, S. Adams, H. Usszell, and S. H. Williams; half-backs, W. J. Martin and T. H. Vile; forwards, C. M. Pritchard, G. Boots, J. J. Hodges, E. Thomas, J. Webb, Gus Jones, E. Jenkins, and W. Dowell. E. This is the identical team that ran the all whites to a. point a fortnight ago. DICKY < OWEN'S ARGUMENT. I .1 K. M. Owen, bwautsea. interviewed as to last Saturday's international match, said:—"I have never been favourably disposed towards the eight back system. I have never been of the opinion that it was going to be success- ful. Saturday's match sounded its death- knell. I am convinced that now the Welsh Union will return to the old style. Per- sonally. I think it is about time." You don't think the new system. was a S11CCCSS It was an absolute failure. Our forwards were beaten throughout. That was plain to anyone. Why, the dimensions of the field are against the style just introduced. There is no room for another back, for the simple reason that the field is not wide enough." "Does it handicap you at all?" It dies very considerably. When I have one man putside of me I know pretty well where to throw the ball. When there are two I am never certain. Besides, there are times when the two men get in each ether's way. For instance, supposing one man is on the right of the scrum, and the other on the left. I throw the leather to the man on the hjind side, and he, instead of going tha.t way runs back to the centre. The chances are that he will run dead into the other half, who will be getting around to back him up." "It is said in some qunrters that Trew was a failure on Saturday?" "That statement is wrong. Trew was abso- lutely wasted. The passes he got were few and far between, but whenever be had a real chance he did all that could b. expected."

BOXING AT CARDIFF. I MANUEL V. KELLER. Monday evening's tport at the Badminton Club, Cardiff, opened with a four-round exhi- bition between Gronin and Brown. The fight was keenly contested, and there was not much difference between the men. The next item was a wrestle between Symonds and Ambrose. Mr. T. Cannon, jun.. was referee. It was a hardly-fought fight, the result being in favour of Symonds, who won the bout in llmin, 5sec. The principal event was the fight between Phenis Manuel and Keller, of London. At first Keller was leading, but in the fourth round Manuel did well, and in the fifth and sixth he hit for the body. In the seventh round there was nothing to choose between them, but in the eighth and ninth Keller had the better of matters, and in the tenth he led five times to Manuel's once, but in the twelfth Manuel was all over his man, who was palpably weakening, and in the sub- sequent rounds, although Keller was clever in stopping Manuel. yet there was no ques- tion that the verdict of the referee in favour of Manuel was the correct one.

ATHLETICS. I THE SHRUBB CASE. I At a meeting of the committee of the Southern Counties' Cross-country Association on Monday evening it was decided to insti- tute further inquiries of the South London Harriers, with a view of ascertaining, if pos- sible, how far any members who had occu- pied official positions in connection with the I association were inmlicat,ed in the matters which had led to Shrabb's permanent sus- pension.

AROUND THE LINKS NEWPORT CLUB'S AFFAIRS. [BY "THE IilNKSMAN."] THE WEEK'S ENGAGEMENTS. GLAMORGANSHIRE CLUB. Tuesday.—Ladies' Junior Medal. Wednesday.—Wednesday Cup. BARRY CLUB. Saturday—Barry Cup. Monday.—Ladies' Monthly Medal. GLAMORGANSHIRE SECONDS' DEFEAT. With the exception of the club tournament and a competition in connection wit;lt the la-dies' section, there ha., been practically nothing doing at Penarth during the week. In the latter event Miss Beasley returtic-d the winning card, which bore the score 96— 8-88. A popular event with local golfers wa.s the marriage of Mr. Selwyn Biggs and Miss Isabella Pyman, daughter of Mr. Pyman, of Rfiithwaite, Penarth. Both Mr. and Mrs. Biggs are members of the Glamorganshire Club. and their marriage was attended by a large number of members of the club. The in.terna,tional foot,ball match was largely responsible for the comparatively weak team which the Glamorganshire Seconds took to play Barry on the course of the latter club on Saturday. Still, the result should. perhaps, have worked out better than it did. On paper form the win-ilineinatch-cls to three—was a substantial one, but the whole of the games were -closely contested. In the match between Hubert Alexa.nder and W. S. Swect^Escott the former was 2 down at the turn, and at one period J. A. Alexander who opposed Dr. Joscelyne. was 3 down. Yet the Brothers Alexander managed to come through winners. Good play was very much int2.rf.ered with by the heavy wind prevailing. In fact, only at one hole, No. 8, was the wind of a.ny assistance to the players. The course and greens were in excellent condition, and reflected great credit on the Barry executive. Barry have started wril by defeating Gla- morganshire Seconds, this being only the second occasion that the Glamorganshire Seconds have been beaten i;n three seasons. They again meet the Glamorganshire Seconds I' the. Gl.am at Barry on March 17, aind the latter may be relied upon to do their utmost to reverse the position of affairs. There was a fair entry for the Vyvyau- Robineon Cup on Saturday, the following being the rc-stil,t- Grœs. H cap. Net. C. J. BWcer 110 24 85 F. W. Kendall 104 15 89 J. D.

Th.e fourth rounds have to be played OIL or before February 12. THE PORTHCAWL CIUB. I There was no competition play at Port,n- cawl during the week, the monthly medal competition, which was to have been played on Saturday, being postponed until Saturday next in consequence of the internatio-nal match. There was a good number of visitors to the course over the week end. RADYR ITEMS. The club tournament is the only competi- tion which is just now occupying the atten- tion of the members of the Radyr Club. So far the only match played in the third round of the tournament is that between W. B. Ferrier and L. Forman. the former winning by 2 and 1. An interesting match took place during the week between H. B. Winfield, the popular full- back of the Welsh international team, and J. W. Allen, the referee in Saturday's inter- national match, on the one side, and Dr. Timms. Oard ff. and Dr. West. captain of the Scottish team, on the other. Two rounds were played, and both were keenly contested. The first round resulted all square, and in the second H. B. Winfield and his partner proved victorious by 2 and 1. Both the visitors expressed themselves highly pleased with the course. THE NEWPORT CLUB. Last week was a blank so far as competitive play was concerned, and this week will be the same if exception be made of the third round of the tournament, which is now being played off, and has to be completed by Mon- day, February 12. The course is now in excel- lent order, and is improving all the time. In preparation for the annual meeting, which takes place on Saturday evening next, the annual report and statement of accounts for the past year is interesting. There are now 259 members in the club. The income for the year shows an increase, but, owing to the increased expenditure, the credit balance carried to capital account is less than the previous year, being C7 3s. 10d., as against JE40 Qs. 9d. for the year ended the 31st of December, 1904. The additional expen- diture is mainly on account of the increased expenses in carrying on the club-house, and the greater attention which is being paid to maintaining and improving the course. The whole of the formation expenses (JESO 8s. 4d.) have been now written off, and Y,47 2s. 4d. depreciation for the year written off the various assets. Provision has been made for I the payment of interest on loans from memo bers, but the committee do not feel that they are yet justified in making any re-payment of these loans. The course has shown con- siderable improvement, and every care will be taken that this improvement is main- tained, as the committee are very alive to its importance. The thanks of the members are due to Mr. J A. Muller, who presented an oak settle for the members' -room in the olub- house, and Mr. H. S. Lyne, who has given a cup for competition. BARRY. To Barry players one of the interesting features on Saturday was the match between the Glamorgan and Barry Clubs on the ground of the latter, when. notwithstanding the strong and tricky wind which beat over the course, the home team were victorious by nine to three. The Barry players were, on the whole, in excellent form, but it is a singular fact that two of the best Barry men —Mr. R. F. Illingworth (the club champion) and Mr. G. S. N. Carne (a prospective com- petitor for the Welsh Amateur Championship next ycar)-were defeated, the former by Mr. W. H. Bull and the latter by Mr. H. C. Vivian. The match was an interesting one, and some good play was witnessed on both sides. PLAY AT BRECON. TTim?s at Hrecon have been very quet for some time, and there was only a small entry for the monthly medal, which took pl?oe on Friday. W. J. Thomas was i-eturned winner with 81 net, P. P. Williams and H. Jones Evans coming second and third with scores of 82 and 83 respectively. Mr. Sidney Robinson, M.P., has signified his intention of becoming a member of tho Brecon Golf Club. He is already a meinbcvr of the Porthca-wl and Radyr Clubs, and wae captain of the former a few years ago. COMPETITIONS AT ASHBUENHAM. Two medal competitions were brought of*! at Pembrey on Saturday, in inclement weather. The first was the monthly medal, and the result was as follows: — Gross. H'oap. Net. J. T. Lewis 106 15 91 Rev. I. M'Loughlin 104 7 97 R. T. Hammond. 114 11 103 S. B. Bowen 116 11 105 In the competition for the second grade medal the best returns were:— Gross. H'oap. Net. Rev. D. Jones. 112 25 97 R. J.

I see that- as a. result of a representative meeting of delegates held at Gloucester last week it was decided to form a county golf union. Proposed rules governing the' union were adopted, and a strong body of officers elected. LADIES' GOLF. Fine weather prevailed on Thursday last when the Weston-super-Stttre and Burnham ladies met in a friendly encounter on the links of the former. The homesters won after I an interesting encounter by 5 matches to 2.

The amount of Nervous .y Energy expended in business and plea- ■* y sure has become so excessive, that numbers of people are daily worn out by the incessant demands upon their Nerve Forces In a recent letter the Countess de Fleury makes it clear that not only must a lady of position suffer the fatigues and cares of her station, but must overtax and exhaust her nervous system so enormously, that recovery is extremely doubtful, unless, as the Countess recommends, recourse be made to Phosferine. The distinguished lady says that the famous tonic permanently dispelled her neuralgia, and all other nerve disorders in an extraordinary manner, and she has pleasure in bearing testimony to its many excellent qualities. Eva, Countess de Fleury, io, Bathurst St., Sussex Sq., Hyde Park, London, W., writes:—" Please send me half a dozen bottles of Phosferine, as before. I find that it is an excellent remedy in cases of severe neuralgia or nervous headache. Universal remedies are, as a rule to be distrusted, but I must say that Phosferine is marvellously effective in cases of Rheumatism and other kindred illnesses, in fact a friend of mine has told me that it is the only cure for gout. I consider Phosferine an invaluable remedy, and have pleasure in bearing testimony to its many excellent qualities."— Jan. 20, 1906. The Royal Example.
