THE TUMBLE RIOT, ATTACK ON POLICE-STATION I Prisoners Again in Court. The Llaneily Bench to-day continued their hearing of the charges arising out of the riots at Tumble. Twelve men were rand in the defendants' dock charged with riotous behaviour, the rescue of the prisoners from the- police, and damage to the police-station. Mr. W. Martin Richards was for the police, the defendants being represented by Mr. Lud ford. Police-sergeant Lewis told once again the story of what occurred on the eventful Satur- day night after the closing of the hotel at ten o'clock. A crowd of nearly 300 gathered outside the police-station, and commenced operations by hooting and booing. Then came a fusillade of stones and bricks, and in a few minutes there was hairdly a whole pane of glass in the building. He was able to recognise the defendants in the crowd. There was a shooting gallery close by, the lights of which enabled him to see clearly who were among the leading spirits in the disorder. Police-constable Jenkins corroborated. He said that he was afraid the whole place would be pulled down, and to avoid this they decided to liberate the two prisoners. ROW WITH SERGEANT'S WIFR Mr. Ludford: With whoui did you have a row that night?—\Vith Mrs. Lewis the ser- geant's wife. What did she tell you ?-I found the door locked, and askad her the reason why she locked the door, and she called me names. Mr. L jdford: So she locked you out?-The dcor was locked. I suppose yon wer2 amgry with her for locking you out?—She was excited, but I was not. You were as cool as a. cucumber, I suppose? —I was very cool. And so was the sergeant?—Yes So that the whole force at Tumble was cool that night?—Yes. AHd you have been aggrieved with her for locking you out?—I had not seen the door locked before. Were you feeling a bit frightened ?-No, sir. So that you did not complain, to Mrs. Lewis because you felt uncomfortable?—No, sir. Although you felt uncomfortable when, it was raining?—It was not raining at the time. Mr. Ludford: Raining pints I mean. (Laughter.) What did she say to you?—I cannot say. Mr. Trubsha-w: Oh, eys, you can. Witness: I do not think there is an English word for it. Mr. Ludlord: Will you give the Welsh word ? Witness: She called me Yr hen grechyn." (Laughter.) Mr. Ludford: You felt, that more than the pint measure?—I did not like it. What did you call her?—Nothing, but I told h-er to be quiet. Did the sergeant complain to you about it?—No. Mrs. Lewis, the wife of the sergeant, said that the first she saw of the riots was Police- constable Jenkins entering the police-station to the accompaniment of a, shower < f stones. A pint measure was also thrown at him, but, fortunately, the aim was not a good one. There was a big crowd outside, and stones came crashing in through the windows. Her son David took a. cutlass in his hand. Mr. Richards: Did you see the cutlass in your husband's hand ? Witness: No; he told the boy to put it back. Was your husband very excited?—No; all he did was to ask the crowd to go away. Why were the prisoners released?—Because the crowd said they were going to smash the house up. (PROCEEDING.)

Motor-Bus Disaster. I CONDITION OF THE INJURED I Mr. Bailey, the schoolmaster, who was severely injured in the motor'bus accident a.t Handcross, has had a good night, and his condition is slightly improved. Hope is en- tertained of his recovery. Mr. Croft, the other severely injured passenger, also con- tiulIC6 to improve. Arrangements have been made for the removal of the bodies to Orpington immediately after the inquest to-day. They will be conveyed by the 4.9 train if time permits. Frank Ewens, the conductor, upon whom the o^pration of trepanning was performed yesterday at the Sussex County Hospital at Brighton, still lies in an unconscious con. dition. Mr. Mansfield, who is also at the initution, passed a good night.

International Bowls. I WELSH TEAM IN GOOD FORM. I The venue for the concluding d;a-y's contest land international bowling was at Coleraine. The weather conditions, excepting the Wind, were suitable. England met Wales in the forenoon, and when five heads were played Wales was eight up The Welshmen played with confidence, if or at this point three out of four Welsh rinks were ahead, Pollock being highest up, 'loading Grace by six at the fourth rink. England's players were the Carlisle combina- tion, and, as usual, enthusiasm and good feeling prevailed.

LOCAL ADMIRALTY CASE. I Sequel to Collision in the Scheidt In the Admiralty Division to-day, Mr. Justice Bargrave Deane, sitting with Trinity Masters, had before him a claim and counter- claim for damages arising out of a. collision between plaintiff's steamship Alva and the defendant's steamship Oakmore, of Liverpool, in the river Scheldt, near the -entrance to the Old Dock, Antwerp, on May 5th last. At the time the Alva, a vessel of 3,122 tons gross register, ha djust left the Old Dock in course of a voyage to Cardiff in ballast, while the Oakmore, 4,547 tons gross, was bound from Gravesend to Antwerp.

BORDERERS OFF TO CAMP. I Practically all the infantry Volunteers of Newport left home this afternoon for the South Wales Borderer brigade camp at 'Conway. The welcome change in the weather Imadle officers and men cheerful. When all are assembled the camp, which will consist of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th battalions, will contain about 5,COO men. From Newport the .headquarters companies of the 4th Battalion were the first to leave by special train at 3.45. They are due at the camp eiding at 10.5 p.m. The headquarters com- panies of the 2nd Battalion were timed to be away at 4.50, and due at Conway at 10.45p.m.

Lawn Tennis at Newport THE WELSH CHAMPIONSHIPS. I The beayy rain that fell on Friday naturally handicapp,ed the executive, and when play was opened at an early hour tnis morning they had no less than 63 matones to get through during the day. Mr. Eveleigh bustled along to suoh good purpose, how- ev-or, that before lunch over twenty matches had been played, and as the weather pro- mises to keep fine the meeting is now placed in a good position. In the ladies singles Welsh championship Mrs. Sterry, who, it had been hoped would have met Miss Sutton, had unfortunately strained her leg on Thursday night. She lost the first set in the second round to Miss Garfitt 3-6, and then had to retire, leaving the way clear for Miss Sutton, who will have to meet Miss Gar- fltt to retain her laurels. In the gentle- men's championship the finalists are Smith, of Stroud, and Boucher, of Clifton. Smith, who is the holder, is playing in capital form, however, and there does not seem any reason why he should not retain the championsnip; As anticipated in the Evening Express on Thursday C. L. Sweet-Esoott (holder) and and C. P. Hailey will fight out the loc-al championship of South Wales and Mon- mouthshire, and it is generally anticipated tha.t Sweet-Escobt, will retain the title. Mrs. Sterry, although injured, managed to struggle out a>s?ain before luncheon when, in partnership with Miss Sntton, she met Miss Garfitt and Miss E. Boucher in the third round of the ladies' doubles. A strong g^wne by Miss Sutton on whom, of course, Mrs. Sterry had mainly to r?y, emded in MM. Sterry's victory-6-3-9-7. M?aa Boucher, h??: ever, played a strong g?me although there was not the understanding between her and Miss Garfltt tteit there might have been had it not been their first match toget-nei.

FATAL FALL AT TKbrtmLSr. James Parry, 75, Tonteg, was faifcally injured .last niight at Treforest. as a result of falling from a 6ft. wall. His head was. severely crushed. The coroner has been notified.

Mr. Toole passed a. quiet night. There is J oo improvement in his conditiou. I

Three Years of Crime ?Three Years of Crime SERIES OF RAILWAY FRAUDS. Sentence was parsed at Manchester Assizes yesterday on John Thomas Coates and Sieg- mund Kindler, who had been convicted the previous day of 3* remarkable series of rail- way frauds. Coates was formerly a district inspector on the Great Central Railway, and Kindler at one time carried on business as a jeweller in Oxford-street, Manchester. SubseQuently he removed to Belfast, and it was there that he was arrested. The actual thief, it was alleged by the prosecution, was Coates, who rifled passen- gers' luggage while it was in transit on the railway. The most important case was that of a valuable diamond pendant belonging to Lady Arthur, which disappeared while she was travelling from Worksop to Manchester. Though Coates admitted several of the robberies, he denied this one, but the pendant was found in Kindler's shop in Belfast, along with other stolen property, which, it was alleged, was disposed of by Coatee, after he had stolen it, to Kindler. Moreover, in Coates's possession was found a key which fitted Lady Arthur's trunk; while he was also proved to have travelled by the train from which it was stolen. Counsel for the prosecution explained that the system of robbery of which the prisoners were found guilty had been going on for three years. The total value of property stolen during that period was over £ 1,000. This, he added in reply to his lordship, was all on the branches of the Great Central Railway on which Coates acted as inspector. Each prisoner was sentenced to five years' penal servitude.

A Record Bequest QUARTER OF A MILLION FOR TEMPERANCE. The largest bequest that has been left for temperance work is that left by the late Mr. John Crowle, of 36, Phillimore-gardens, Ken- sington, S.W., who died on June 12' last, at the a-ge of 65 years. The late Mr. Crowle was chairman and managing director of Messrs. Slaters (Limited), the well-known caterers, and also of ,n d Go. (lAd.), .va, Messrs. Spenoer, Santo, and Co. (lAd.), was largely interested in Messrs. Carrerais, and was well known during his Hfe for the promi- nent interest .he took in temperance work generally, and particularly in such of that work as was carried on under the auspices of the Weeleyan Mothodisrt body. The testator, in setting aside the £ 250,000 for temperance work, formulates in detail a scheme for t'he foundation and administra- tion of t'he John Crowle Band of Hope and Temperance Fund. The plan provides, among other things, for the continual employment of two temperance lecturers at S-750 a. year, for three or four scientific lecturers on temperance who are to receive E5 a lecture, and for prizes for essays on temperance. If there is any surplus income JE500 a year is to be spent in opposing in any part of England the granting of licences to public-houses, theatres, music-halls, and other places of entertainment. The trustees of the fund are to be members of the Wee- leyan body. The munificent gift is conditional upon the Wesleyan Methodist body raising a, like sum of L250,000 within five years in order to make the capital of the fund a round half-million but as soon as the Wesleyan Conference have raised £ 25,000 of this sum the trustees are to pay over £ 25,000 in order that the work may be commenced on that capital as soon as possible, and as each further Y,5,000 is raised by the conference the trustees of the will are to pay over a further k5,000 to the fund. and so on until the whole amount has I been so absorbed.

The latter was the value of Princess Patricia of Connanght's handawne Irish wolfhound, Champion Cotswold, the winner of sixteen championships, who was awarded first prise. Fashions in Canine Attire. Many new fashions have been introduced this summer in the canine world. The smart dog wears a horn collar similar in style to a, man's high linen collar, with turn-down corners and a bow of bright ribbon. Toy dogs wear pale pastel-blue tailor-made coats, unlined, with collars of heliotrope kid hung with silver bells. All proper dogs will presently wear sun- bonnets. Leather boots will replace dogs' rubber boots next winter. Dogs who go motoring wear mackintosh coats wiith hoods. Goggles for dogs have not been made yet, but there is hope for such things are not impossible.

I 1A Quaint Welsh Charity BRIDGET BEVAN AND HER BIBLES. Grace Before and After Meat." I In the Chancery Division to-day Mr. Justice Buckley granted a. petition in an action by the Attorney-General against Lady Stepney putting an end to the action, and directing payment out of the sum of £ 50,000 belonging to the Bridget Bevan Charity. Mr. Bucffimaster, K.C., M.P., who appeared in support of the petition, sa.id that this charity originated in the latter part of the eighteenth century, when a clergyman, named Griffith J one,?, collected funds and supplied his own moneys for distributing Bibles and prayer-books among the poor people in Wales. In 1761 he died leaving her his resi- duary estate and the collection he had made, together with the books and Bibles, and left her to carry on the work, which she did, and increased the funds and operations of the charity. She died in 1779, and left the moneys she had acquired and her own residuary estate for the charity by establishing charity schools, which were known as Welsh Circulating Schools. Her executors were Lady Stepney and Mr. Lloyd. The former was one of the next-of-kin and possessed herself of the estates, and in 1801 this action was brought against her by the Attorney-General, asking for the charity accounts. The Master was directed to report as to what the charity was, and he reported that the charity was known as the Welsh Circu- lating Schools, and that their nature was to teach poor ignorant people the Welsh language, and in some favoured places to write, and for the purpose of finding them Bibles and other religious books, to teach them to make the proper responses, to say their prayers, to say grace before and after meat, to instruct them in the principles of religion according to the Church of England, and their duty to God and man. The bequest was thereupon declared a good charitable bequest, and a. scheme was settled providing for the appointment and payment of te-acherf, and the sum of £ 30,000 was paid into court in 1S60. A new scheme was settled in 1902, and an Act was passed throwing the v/hole expense of denominational teaching on the rates, and the funds became no longer applicable to the primary object of the charity. The Board of Education then drew up a scheme under which the present trustees were enabled to make their present application to the court for staying the action and paying out the fund in court.

Plaistow Land Grabbers 4,000 RADISH RAISERS ON REGISTER I The doubtful honour of successfully cul- tivating the first metropolitan variety of the "grablander" microbe belongs to West Ham. Fourteen of them (says the "Daily Ex- press ") sprang into life yesterday, and seized upon some unused land belonging to the corporation. Others, it is said, are being incubated at Edmonton with a view to ravaging the Church lands in the district, and still others are being prepared to do, their nefarious work elsewhere. The West Ham land thieves, like their prototypes at Manchester, hitve, apparently, adopted as their motto: We cannot dig to Bpeak of, but to beg we are not ashamed." The land which they have seized is known as the Ballast Hole," and is off Northern- road, Plaistow. At nine o'clock in the morning the four- teen, armed with borrowed picks and shovels, assembled in the lane bordering the field. Headed by Councillor Ben Cunning- ham, they opened the gate and seized the property of the ratepayers. Stimulated by the presence of several spectators, the men worked as most of them probably had never worked before; all ex- cept two—Councillor Cunningham, who was, of course, "organising," and the ganger. The "Ganger." I This ganger was the commanding per- sonality of the group. Of portly presence (he cannot have weighed less than eighteen stone), he yet declared that he had been out of work and starving since Christmas. What he must look like when he is enjoying a normal number of meat meals a day passes imagination. His task was one to be envied. It was to smoke a short black pipe without intermis- sion, stand guard over a brown jug and oan, from which the workers drank at intervals, ra-ttle a oigar-box with a hole cut in the side for the admission of the money of spectators, and gaze impressively at, his gang. All these duties he fulfilled with the greatest credit. Clad in a brown coat, black waistcoat, blue trousers, and a red tie, but without a collar, the "gKJiger" stretched himself comfortably on "his" ground, and proceeded to detail his programme to a Daily Express" repre- sentative between the puffs of a cigar. Beginning of the Movement. I I I did it," he said, with the air of a conqueror. I am responsible. I opened the gate and got the men to come here. "The council were asked by the West Ham Unemployed Aid Society to grant this land to the unemployed. On the recommendation of the Highways and Parks Committee they refused to give it free, and demanded a rent of 5s. a year per sixteen poles. The matter was adjourned to another meeting, and the latter broke up in disorder. leaving matters as they were. "Then I decided to take action. I got the men together, and here we are. We applied to the University Settlement for tools, but nothing was done, and each man had to bring his own spade, or borrow one. A number of additional men have joined this afternoon, and I have 200 names down for to-morrow. We shall limit. the number working on this ground, which is about four acres, to fifty, and when that number is passed we shall take the land on the other side of the lane. We intend taking also a piece of land near the fever hospital that cost the council £ 2.500, and there are several school sites that are available. I have 4,000 men on the register of the West Ham Aid Society, so it will be a pretty large affair. We shall have to depend on the public until the radishes, turnips, and other things that we intend setting have grown."

PRIVATE LETTERS TO JUDGES The Lord Chief Justice has been condemn- irng the growing habit with litigants and witnesses of commiunicating privately with the judge; yet (says "London Opinion") there must, it seems to a. layman, be occa- sions when justice ca.n only be done by the adoption, of such a course. One recalls the great Pearl case. One c-o-oiety lady, whom we may call Mrs. A, declared that her young friend, Miss B, had stolen her priceless pearls. Miss B sued for slander, and Sir Charles fiuseell conducted her case so magnificently that everyone was expecting tremendous damages, when a. certain West-Bud trades- man. who had changed a large sum of bank- notes into gold for Miss B, under circum- stances which seemed to shed a. gla,ring light on the ease, wrote to the judge. The letter was handed in court to Sir Charles Russell, who saw that his client's guilt was made so apparent that he had to throw up the case.

BLIND FOLK ENTERTAINED I The blind people of Newport and the neigh- bourhood had a moat pleasant and beneficial outing at The Gaer, where a party of about 200, with their sighted guides, were hospi- tably entertained by Mr. C. D. Phillips and Mrs. Phillips. To make the day quite a memorable one to those in the dark, the house and grounds were set at their disposal, and there was a good tea and a nice concert in a tent just above the lake, where the grass was dry, though the afternoon was showery. The Rev. James Swinnerton, the vicar of Llandevaud, who takes a great interest in the blind, was very active all day. The Rev. A. A. Matthews, the vicar of St. Paul's; Dr. and Mrs. Garrod Thomas, Alderman and Mrs. Bear, and others also rendered a good deal of assistance. Mr. Roberts, the blind harpist of Llanover, was amongst those who took part in the concert. Mr. and Mrs Phillips were heartily thanked for their kindness. 2SSSZSB 1 1 .!■>

HOLIDAYS FOR THE INSANE. I The Ormskirk Board of Guardians were astonished yesterday by a letter from the superintendent of the lunatic asylum asking for permission for one of their patients in that institution to have a month's holiday with his mother at fck/uthport. Mr. Brighouse, county coroner, said it wa,s an extraordinary request, and ratepayers would be anxiou* to know if such holidays .were usual.

The London Coliseum.1 — I SCHEMES FOR RECONSTRUCTION, I Meeting of Investigation Committee. A meeting of the Investigation Committee appointed by the shareholders of the L-ondoii Coliseum, Ltd., was held at. the Empire, Cardiff, to-day. Several schemes for the re- construction of the company were put for- ward, and finally it was determined to sub- mit the adopted scheme to the solicitors acting on behalf of the shareholders, and then to call a special meeting of the share- holders to consider that scheme. A circular was read at to-day's meeting from Mr. George Beverley, secretary of the shareholders' defence movement, in which it was proposed: (1) That the shareholders do combine for the purpose of testing the liability of the directors a.nd/or promoters of the London Coliseum (Limited) for the Ftatements cDn- tained in the prospectus. (2) That the shareholders be requested to subscribe 6d. in t.he £ on the amount of their original holding in the company. (3) That Mr. George Beverley, of Chancery Lane Station-chambers, London, accountant, be appointed secretary to the shareholders' movement, and that all subscriptions shall be sent direct to him for the purpose of defraying the cost and expenses of the movement and the proceedings. The circular proceeds to explain the ground upon which the proposed proceedings will be taken. OFFICIAL REPORT I A meeting of the liquidators and committee of inspection was held at the Cardiff Empire to-day. The proceedings were private, but it was officially stated that the interests of the shareholders are teing in every possible way protected, a.nd that a. scheme for a pro- posed re-construction was discussed, which it is hoped to put forward at an early date. It may be interesting to state that the com- mittee referred to were appointed by the shareholders at the last general meeting, and, notwithstanding this, it appears tha-t a movement is on foot to appoint another committee, accompanied by a demand for shareholders to remit, sixpence per share tor expenses to a certain quarter. The authorised committee nave made no such call. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Walter Battle (Leeds), and those present were Messrs. Oswald Stoll. Molyneux, Edward Mchol. H. J. Thomas, Tom Graham, Gillespie, j and eMtcalfe.

Whose Yacht P I WATERLOGGED CRAFT ADRiFT OFF RHOOSE. Mr. W. Williams, pilot, of St. Augustine's- terrace, Penarth, states that whilst about two miles off Rhoose yesterday he sighted a yacht about 17 feet in length and painted white. He could not see her name. She was drifting, and was about three-quarters fnll of water. There was a large smash at her bow, and he should think she had been in collision. Inquiries at Barry and Bhocse fail to show that the yacht had been seen by any of the coastguards or local" pilots. The weather throughout the da.y had been very thick, the heavy rain making it impossible to see any vessel at a, distance of more than a mile.

Miners' Federation. I HAULiERS AND OVERTIME. A meeting of the executive council of the South Wales Miners' Federation was held at the Angel Hotel, Cardiff, to-day, when the chair was occupied by Mr. W. Abraham (Mabon), M.P. Among others present were Mr. W. Brace, M.P., and Mr. Alfred Onions, treasurer, who acted a.s secretary, in the absence of Mr. T. Richards, M.P. A letter was read from the Aberdare district respecting the calling of a, con- ference to deal with the non-Unionist ques- tion. It was resolved, after a. discussion-, to I plaoe this matter on the agenda, for the next council meeting, with a TLew to its thorough investigation and decision. A letter was received from Mr. Dalsiel, eeo- ratary to the Cop.lowners' Association, in reference to the Brynwith Colliery, in the Garw Valley district. This was in reply to a letter from the council of the Miners' f Federation asking that the men should return to work pending an inquiry into the award given by Mr. C. H. Eden and Mr. T. Dav ,<c&. As the reply wag not satisfactory, it war? reaolved that the question should be raised at the meeting of the Cementation Board on the 21st inst. Mr. Evan Thomas, chairman of the work- men's side of the Hauliers' Joint Committee, reported upon several matters which had been discussed, and much consideration was given to the demands of the ineii on. the overtime clause. What the men require is that when they work overtime they should be guaranteed half a turn at. least. It was resolved that this matter be placed oil the agenda, for the Conciliation Board a.t their meeting on Saturday next. ""»■ » ———

I Girl's Callous Crime. I I AMERICAN RELIGIOUS VENDETTA. At Seattle, Washington, yesterday, George Mitchell, a, youth, who recently shot and killed Franz Edmund Creffeld, the "Holy Roller Prophet," and was acquitted of the charge of murder on the plea. of insanity, was himself shot and killed by his seventeen- year-old sister, Esther. Esther Mitchell joined the Holy Rollers at Corvallis, Oregon, and became one of the most ardent of Creffeid's followers. When her brother pursued the leader of the Holy Rollers" to Seattle, and shot. him in the street, he pleaded in justification that Creffeld had deluded and wronged the very sister who has now taken his life. Mitchell was acquitted of the charge of murder on Tuesday, and has ever since been searching for his sister Esther in Seattle lodging-houses. When they met yesterday I She Fired Without Warning When arrested Esther Mitchell gave out a written statement, declaring she and Mrs. Creffeld had talked over the necessity of shooting her brother, George. It was con- sidered," says the statement, that I had the best chance of killing him. I am sorry that I did the shooting; I am glad." Immedi- ately after Miss Mitchell's arrest orders were given for the arrest of Mrs. Creffeld, who later telephoned to the police where she was to be found. When taken to the police- station (says the Daily Telegraph ") she frankly admitted that she entered into a compact with Esther Mitchell to kill the slayer of her husband. She will be tried as an accomplice. One of the most remarkable features of the Holy Rollers is the infatua- tion for their late prophet shown by the lady members of the sect.

Great Gambling Scandal SOCIETY OVERWHELMED WITH GRIEF AND SHAME. j A great society scandal at Munich is caus- ing intense excitement in Bavarian society. One royal prince, two dukes, about twenty oounts, and many lesser members of the nobility alre involved in the scandal, which has overwhelmed many leading Bavarian families with grief and shame. The root of the whole evil appears to be (says the "Daily Express") a fashionable club at Munich, which is nothing less than a. gambling resort of the worst type. Night after night, gambling proceeds here to a reckless extent, and enormous sums are won and lost daily between the hours of mid- night and six in the morning. Heavy losses have ruined many promising young officers of the Bavarian army, as well as numerous young noblemen and memooirs of the Civil Service Some of them, unable to face the disgrace of not paying debts incurred at the card tables, resorted to all sorts of swindles to secure sufficient funds to enable them to continue atteodance at the club. Others committed euicide to escape the consequences of their folly. The suicides include Count Max Preysing, who was unable to pay gambling debts exceeding £ 100,000. Prince Francis Joseph of Bavaria is impli- cated in the scandal owing to the fact that a number of officers forged his signature to promissory notes, whereby they obtained large sums of money by fraud. Investigations have ehown that sumg up to £ 50,000 have changed hands within the club in one night. Some unscrupulous members resorted to systematic card sharping in order to fleece inexperienced players. One young officer has been arrested in connection with the scandal, but the precise charge against him is not known.

At Forrest Gate last evening, an clectire car and a cab were in collision. The driver of the latter was thrown fnm his seat, and abstained such iujuries that he died oa arrival at TI:eet Ham Hoepitai

CARDIFF V. LLANELLY. Ca.rdiff paid their long-expected visit to X^ ilaneily to-day, and attracted a large crowd of spectators. There had been much rain during the week, and speculation was rife as to how the wicket would turn out. The visitors, who brought a strong team down, took first knock, Riches and Whitt-ingtoii opening the venture to the bowling of Barclay and Gee. Play was very steady and quiet for a long time, and it did not appear as though the wicket was causing the bats- men any trouble. However, they did not any risks, ana they seemed settled down for a long partnership when Whittington was unfortunately run out after making 10. Gibson then joined Kiehes, and runs came more rapidly. Both men played the bowling with great confidence, and after several boundaries had been scored a double change in the l ?owling in the bowling was resorted to, Fred Rees and Light taking the place cf Barclay and Gee. The change did not make any differ- ence in the rate of scoring, and when the interval for luncheon came the players were still together, with the total at 74. Score:— CARDIFF.

ArdasePr and Morris had only added eighrt runs when Morris put the ball into Mil don's hands oiT Smith. Ardaseer stayed long enough to make thir- teen, when he gave a chance to Edmunds, which was accepted. Bancroft and E. W. Jones managed to take the total to 143, when E. W.

NEWPORT v. CLIFTON. I Played at Newport to-day on a wicket which had dried up nicely after the heavy rain of Friday, and was still drying long after play opened at 11.50. The visitors arrived a man short, and as Newport went in first Stedman fielded for Clifton until ,a:fter the first. wicket fell, when he was re- placed by E. S. Phillips. The home batting was opened by Silverlock and E. S. Phillips to the bowling of Toogood and Sainsbury. Runs came f.ast. At 45 E. S. Phillips, who ihad opened his account with a boundary hit, was elta,-n bowled bv Sa.insburv after ma-king eleven runs. Silverlock, who had hit six 4's, was out (caught) at 54 after contributing 34. An unfortunate mistake happened between Diver and F. Rees. The former called to Rees for a run. but Rees was run out. Diver I and A. J.
