For Women Folk. I HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES When the feet are very tired through long weaking or dancing, bathe them with vine- gar and warm water. For a severe fit of coughing take a tea- spoonful of glycerine in a glass of hot water, ) or sip some hot water. I An excellent way to keep meat in hot weather when it comes from the butcher's is to at once wipe it with a clean cloth and bang in up in a cool, airy place, with a musiiin bag filled with charcoal on each side. I'n this way meat- may be kept for several days in the hottest weather. Lime water is a valuable antacid, and may be employed with great advantage in many cases, and especially in dyspepsia attended with add stomach. Mixed with milk, which completely covers its taste, it is one of the best remedies known for those whose stomachs will not retain food. Such persons ought to make it their principal a.liment, that is, limewater and milk, with bread, crackers, etc., say a wineglassful to a pint of milk. To check vomiting, a tea- spoonful every fifteen minutes may be given. For the Liver Take a teacupfuil of bot water the first thing every morning before rising. Also take samoe for indigestion. Marrow Jam Peel and ("re marrows, cut into small 8<ll1&T, a?id leave 24 hours covered with sugar (three-quarters of a pound to a po?Tid of marrow), add Zoz. of ginger, and juice and rind of one lemon to every 51b. of rnorrow.I and boil very slowly for four hours. Savory Meat Batter Take any kind of meat, minced; season with pepper and salt; add two minced onions, a little parsley, finely chopped, two tomatoes, sliced; moisten with gravy or stock, and place in a pie-dish. Make the batter with three tablespoonfuls of ftour and half a pint of milk; add one egg, veil beaten. POUT the batter over the meat in the pic-dish. Bake for two hours, or rather less if the miea4 has been already cooked.

Passing Pleasantries. An American paper says, We have adopted the eigtbt hour system in this office. We commence work at eight o'clock in the morning and close at eight in the evening." "You're out of sorts to-day. m-adame!" "How do you know that—you've only just come to the house!" "Oh! I just saw your best friend lea-ving the house in a beautiful new gown!" AN INCONSIDERATE IRISHMAN. Barney, did you hea.r the thunder a.nd lightning last night?" "Ah, now, be aisy; did it thunder and lighten then?" "Did it thunder! Faith, then, it thundered as if all the big rocks and the artillery of oald Ireland were dancing Irish, jigs at once over our heads, and then crushed themselves to pieces and fell somewhere a. good way below the earth." Why didn't you wake me, Pat, for you know I never sleep when it thunders." "HE TRIED IT FIRST." The wife of a master painter was leaving her house when one of her husband's work- men rushed up to the door. "What a the matter, Pat?" she quickly, asked, feeling sure something had happened. "Shure, missus, it's nearly kilt I've been!" exclaimed Pat. "Killed! Dear me! How?" Well, I was on the roof of the boose over there an' the boss towld me to paiint the ould I wooden spout, and I was just after th.ionkin'l it would bear me weight. ",4hall I try it?' says I to meself. An' then, before I could make up me moind. the oald spout tumbiedl down to the strate!" "And if you had not hesitated you would have fallen with the spout!" "Shure," answered Pat, "itet like the boss did. Ye see, he tried it first."

Cycltng- and Motoring, TOM WILLIAMS AND SYD JENKINS By "Spokes." Syd Jenkins, of CsrtMfl; the Englieb champion, intends riding at the Hibernian Sporta at the Sophia Gardens on Monday. Syd informs me that he intends making an attempt to lower the quarter mile record standing start at this meetirg, and feels pretty confi- dent of success. Years ago, it win be remembered, tha veteran Jack Sheen broke the world's record on the sitme track. At Carmarthen and Pontypridd on Monday and Tuesday respectively some of the greatest riders in the world will appear, notably Heller, PUurd, and Germain. Cardiff's premier club, the Cardiff Jockey C.C., under the captaincy of Mr. W. Lester, is going as strong ta ever. Hon. Secretary J. Sebry has arranged a capital list of runs, which include a couple of toura. This season's sub-captaine are Messrs. T. Wheaton, F. Sandiford, J. Sandiford, jun., and J. Towles. The club still keep up the old custom of appointing a bugler. Th musician this season is Mr- J. Emmanuel. An interesting letter has reached me from Tom Williams, of Hafod, the ex-Welsh professional cham- pion, who is carrYing out a riding engagement at JParis- Tom states 'that just at present tha cream of the racing talent of the world is buoy training at Paris. Major Tajrlor is training in the gay city very thoroughly, and Is creeping back into his old form (says Mr. Williarrs). On Thursday he was due to meet Ellegaard and FrioL The latter won the cham- pionship of Frtace last week. Major Taylor sought out Tom Williams to ask whether Syd Jenkins, of Cardiff, is still racing or not. Jenkins is one of the very best men who has ever beaten me," said the great American rider, and I should like to meet him again to try ud beat binl" Tommy Hall ja also in Paris, and is going well behind pace. Probably Hall will try for some of the world's records in a month or so. Tom Williams fears that his Continental engage- ments will prevent him being a competitor in any Welsh 6ports for some time, but he wishes all his old friends rnti- rivals the, best of-luck in the Whitsun sports. — An official of the A. A. A., dealing with the dispute between that body and the N.C.U., writes:— Lt i6 preposterous to think that the N.C.U. will run the risk of a fight for the sake of the South Walee centre. If the Union does not give way the A-A-A. will take the control of amateur cycle racing." The A.A.A. official, however, neglects to state that if the Union doe3 give way the majority of Welsh race meetings in future will be unregistered, or that the South Wales centre may possibly aecede from the Union. In the interest of the sport the governing body taboo Sunday racing. It Is therefore, rather surprising :td an ¿=g'¡IJ¡!\hs'tOJ:fDalh,P poses as such a& uncommonly good journal, encourag" short distaace road racing on a Sunday by reporting such an event in its issue on May 7. Many racing cyclists are taking up shooting, and rifle clubs in connection with cycling clubs are in- creasing rapidly. Many of the prizes competed for take the form of money awards. The N.C.U. secre- tary, in reply to a query, states that an amateur ctayrcyli, st does not lose his amateur status by accepting such prizes. The definition of an amateur cyclist is one who has never engaged in, nor assisted In, nor taught any athletic exercise for money." Shoot- ing does not come under the head of athletic exercise, but is a competition of skill. Germain to-day will ride 100 kilometres motor-paced, using his enormous la-hp. motor monster, against the English champion, Willoi and the ex-champion, Casey. The triangular match "takes place at Canning Town track. On Wednesday next the Cardiff Motor Club hold a reliability run from Boath Court. The start is at ten a.m. The outward route is to Newport, Caerleon, Usk, Raglan (upper road), Monmouth, Kerne Bridge, and Boss (control). Home via Boss, Peterston, St. Owen's Cross, Marston, Whitchurch, Dixton. Mon- mouth, RKlan, Usk (upper road), Caerleon, Newport, and Cardiff. The Cardiff Motor Club is one of the most go-ahead bodies in the country. The hill-climbing competition on Wednesday was such a great success and of so much importance to the pastime and industry that it is ta be hoped another similar competition will be engineered by the club before the season ends. Motor cycling is, undbufetedly, increasing in popu- larity. The number of petrol-driven cycles on our main roads in South Wales this season is really sur- prising. In less than' an hour-between two p.m. and three p.m.—on Sunday last 22 motor-cycks and 18 motor-cars paseed over Bumney Bridge. Even at the present day our tram lines at Cardiff, Newport, and Swansea axe a source of danger to cyclists; but what would have been said by present road users were the lines similar to those of the first tramway for passenger traffic laid down? Those rails were 6in. wide, with a flange iin. high pro- jecting above the road. The line ran from the Marble Arch (London) to Notting Hill Gate, but owing to the great opposition aroused the. tramway, after a short life, was removed. In the course of a few years many motor experts phoph-esy tamt tram rails will be a thing of the past. Vehicles of the motor type will take their place—a nice outlook for Cardiff ratepayers! Will secretaries of cycling and motor clubs kindly t oblige" Spokee" by forwarding their run cards and I any items of interest concerning their clubs?

PONTYPRIDD WHITSUN SPORTS I All the arrangements for the gigantic two days' athletic meetings at the Taff Vale Park, Pontypridd, are now complete, and the entries received are phenomenal, both in regard to class and number. The military tournament :.nod. diepjay arranged for WIDt- Monda.y is a novelty which is bound to attract a con- siderable gathering, while the excellent programme of amateur vthjetic and cycling sports deserves extensive patronage. Tuesday's international meeting is the talk of Wales, for never -before have such & number of star artistes been brought together at any one meeting. In cycling the promotera have secured "the pick of the basket," it is worth while going a long way to see suoh in their professkw. as Piard, ex-world's champion, France; R.

I 'Tried to old Him Back'j MRS. EXALL'S PATHETIC STORY I Maesteg Club Horror. I Mr. Howel Cuthbertson held an inquiry at Maesteg Police-etation to-day touching the death of William Exall, who lost his life in the fire at the Maesteg Conservative Club, Talfoot-eitreet, yesterday. Mrs. Alice Exall stated that her husband, who was 32 yea-ro of age, was manager of the club. She (witness), her husband, and the servant went to bed about midnight on Thursday, when everything appeared to be all right. The children had gome to. bed earlier. They were awakened by the police, and all got out safely in their nigh attire. Her husband told her that he was going back to get some olothes for them, but she tried to hold him baok. He, however, went, and she did not see him again. This was about 2.45 a.m. By the Foreman: My husband only went back for the clothes. He did not know that there was any money. Polioe-sergeant Rees Device said he was in Taibot-st-roet at half-past two yesterday morning, when he found tha.t the Con- servative Club was on fire. With the I THE SCENE OF THE FIRE. assistance of Police-constables Thomas and Hodgson, he burst the inide entrance open and went upstairs, and got Exall, his wife, five children, and the servant out of the building. Police-constable Thomas was then despatched for the fire brigade. latoer he was informed that Exall had gone back into the burning building, and he (witness) at once went into the rooms on the bottom floor, but failed to find him. He then attempted to go upstairs, but was naable to do so owing to the staircase giving way. On searching the upper rooms later they found the body of Exall in the back bedroom. He was lying by the door. with his feet outside and his head inwards, quite dead. He had put on his troasers and coat, and had some of his wife's and ohildren's clothee under his arm. The sum of zE17 5s. 6d. was found hidden in the bed-clothes in the front bedroom. Dr. William G-abe said the body was very badly burnt, the right forearm being charred to the bone. Death was due to suffocation. A verdict in accordance with the medical evidence was returned.

I Bowls. I THE PENHILL CLUB'S GREEN I BY "OLD SKIP." Having been unable, in consequence of other engage- ments, to be at the opening of the Penhill Green last Saturday, I paid a vJrt there one evening this week, and was delighted with the situation which the aew club have been fortunate to secure. About 100ft. above the level of the gea., it has an advantage over the Cardiff Ground, which ait one time I thougltt was the acme of Arcadian siinplravty and beauty. I do not wish to say a word in disparagement of' the Cardlfl Club's ground, but it must be admitted that for position, extensive views, and surroundings generaly, Penhill is superior. No expense seems to have been spared in the lay-out I of the green, and the moat approved plan has been adopted. It is banked on the four aidM, with a gravelled, walk, on the edge of which rustic seats, shaded by pines and lie treES. have been fixed. Immediately adjoining Is Dulwich House, now, through the generosity of the Thompson family, a convalescent home, where nurses and their charges play games and drink tea on the lawn, and occafioinallv watch the bowlers. It is no exaggwatiott to say that the Sittua. tion is ideal. To the south are the Leek with and Llan- dough HHh!, while a peep at Pen&rth is afforded through the trees. .i»n, and tk>w for the club Thus m,?ch for the situe,4 u, and ww for the Chl0 and the green. The Wi!Dt;? of membra hM been limited to 120, and already about 90 have joined, among them being such well-knoa-n townsmen as )dr. Sidney Bobinson, M.P. (president), Mr. Mulline. Mr. J. T. Duncan, and Dr. Broad (vice-presidents), Ir. Symonds, Mr. Radley, Mr. Bell Harrison, Mr. Armstead Clarry, and others, who reside in the neighbourhood. Mr. W. Fowler is the captain this year, and the other officerz are Messrs. F. P. Edmunds (vice-captain), F. W. Butler (secretary), and J. Thomas (treasurer). W.i- such a staff of officers the club mu&t, under almost any circumstances, prove a success. Mr. H. A. KEENOB, I 1IoQ. See. of the Cardiff Bowling Club. Photo, Winstozi, Cardiff. A pretty povdion has been, erected, and from tie flagstaff floats the blue and red colours of the club. It is only when I come to discuss the green Itself that "I trae my doots," as the laite lir. Pettigrew said when samples of turf were put before him for the re-formatioin of the Cardiff Green. He would have nothing but Cumberland turf, and it cost the club 2300 to purohftae tt, convey it to Cardiff, and lay it. It is trying one's credulity a great deal when a bowler states that suitable turf cannot be obtained in the neighbourhood of Cardiff, but I fear the PenJnli Club have not discovered the right spot. On whose advice I do not know the club, or, more properly, the company, decided to get their turf from the mouth of the Ruraney River, where the grass grows in a black, Shiny kind of clay. This, on an eminence such as Penhill, where it is exposed to the sun, is likely to cake and crack however well drained the subeorl may be. It is in this respect that I fear the club may find disappointment, but I hope not all the same. There is plenty of good turf of a sandy or peaty kind to be found near GinJiff. I caonot imagine why the Penhill committee decided in favour of sticky clay, which in dry weather does not allow tbeftbrous roots to expand. In oonsequeace of the opening of the Penhiil Green last Saturday, the match between teams selected by the captain aDd secretary of the Cardiff Club was postponed until to-day. The hon. secretary of the Cardiff Club (Mr. H- A. Keenor), whose portarit we give, has done much towards the development of bowls in the Principality. He was one of the founders of the W.B.A., and was appointed its first hon. secretary, a positSoffl. he "held up to last year, when he resigned, and was succeeded by Mr. J. C. Jones, manager of the Penvgraig Coal Company. Mr. Keenor Is an enthu- siastic bowler, and has been, successful in winning several important contests. In 1902 he won the Archi- baid Hood Challenge Bowl; in 1903 he was in the finaJ, but lout to Mr. Arkell. He won the champion- final, of his club two years & euccessÎQU, viz., 1904 and ship 1905. Mr. Keenor his played in all the international matches. He was appointed to the international selec- tion committee in 1306 and anin 1S07. He is also a member of the general committee, and a vice-presi- dent of the association. This afternoon the old bowling green at Boath Park, which baa been re-layed, was re-opened, and the appre- ciation of the players was shown in the large number who were waiting for ticktts. The other oarporatitm greens are in full swing. Altbough they had a na.rrow escape on one of their rtnks. the Mackintosh Institute started their league martohes last Saturday, with the substantial majority of 42 ow Beechwood Park. To-day they play Dinas Powis away, and, provided the green is at all reason- able—tt such a description of a ground may paes—they t to wdn handsomely. Dmaø PowiB also have a match with Ppmfrrfii.i later on, the only one yet fixed by the new cirab, who wat to give their twf every advantage during the first year. Penhill, for the sarao reason, have not joined the Welsh League this year.

Baseball Notes. BY BACK-STOP." Slowly, but surely, baseball is making- ground in the iffectirns of the masses locally. This was amply exemplified at the various Cardiff parks last Saturday, the baseball teams being the cynosure of all eyes, and cricket was entirely disregarded by the very large n.ajority of spectators. The protest of Cardiff against a decision of the referee in their match with Splott came before the committee last Monday. Mr. Smith, the referee in question, attended, and explained that he gave the Cardiff man out for deviating from the base by design. The referee is the sole judge on this point, and Mr. Smith's decision was upheld by the com- mittee. The protest being considered of importance in de- ciding the point for the future guidance of referees, the fee of 5s. was returned the Cardiff club. The match between Newport and Roath Conservatives at Roath Park was witnessed by a large crowd. So much so that the fielding of both teams was inter- fered with greitly. Boath batted first, but were all dismissed for 19. The shield-holders put together 114, and t the" Cons." only replying with 13 on their second venture, lost easily by an innings and 82 runs. The losers were unable to do anything against the fine bowling and back-stop work of H. Wetter and Hillman respectively. The work of Hillman was great, and he is in my opinion, the finest back- stop in the Je3.e. His work on Saturday was very clean and ftnishtd. An interested spectator was Fred. Pye, who stood down on account of an injured knee. During the time he has bean playing ba-ball-nine ye.r5-this Is the first time that he has come to Cardiff and not taken part in the game. He hopes to be all right for the watch with Caerphilly to-day. The uuttch between Grange Windsors and Caerphilly was remarkable for the phenomenal scoring, 391 runs being totalled. The jpatch was half an hour late in starting, and, with the men in such fine form with the bat, the game was not concluded until darkness set ill. During the later stages of the game the referee had to leave his usual place at the bowling box and take his stand by the batsman, so that he might be able to distinguish good and bad balls. Grange, who lost, have lodged an appeal against the match. This will be considered at the next meeting, when the referee will attend. Cai dill's how against Barry was disappointing. Vlv. Huzzey and Mabbs were the only two to show any form. Between them they accounted for 50 runs of the 79 scored for their side. The quiet one," Joe Buhr, got a pair of "goggles." Barry won easily with eight men to bat. The fielding of Channel Mills against the Grange Barbarians evoked the praises of the large crowd assembled to witness the match. The catching of the '• Miliers" was of the best, no less than five of the Ba-Ba's" being dismissed ix this way in the first Innings. For the Ba-Bals," who only just won by three runs, Caspar was In excellent form with the ball. It is doubtful whether he has ever bowled better. Good was the best bat on either side, and the only one to reach double figures. The geaeralship of Lew Lewis is proving of great service to the London Style. His action in throwing ia his lot with a third division team is hardly to the liking of some of the jealous bodies," who, no doubt, are envious of the Styles' luck. They are of opinion that he should have remained in the first division, but, as the old" veteran" re- marked to me, '• After my recent illness I do not feel equal to the strain of a first division match, but if I can do any good for the newcomers to the game I will do 30." This is a lead that might easily be followed with advantage by other first-class players who have the test interests of the game at heart. The surprise packet of the third division was the defeat of the 'Quins by the Post-office. In fairness to the 'Quins, it should be said that they lackcd the services of Herbert, Melford, Hill, and Frank Peavis, four of their best players. The postmen are to be congratulated upon their pc-rformance. Messrs. Wreford and Co. should make things hum in their division. A feature of the game was the brilliant fielding on either side. In this respect Walter Griffiths at No. 1 Base took the honours. Has poaching" started already? I hear that the Cardiff club made an unsuccessful effort to secure R. Young, the clever 'Quins' back-stop. Young has the making of cne of the smartest back-stops in the league. He is one of the famous Buzzer Heaven's pupils. Young intends sticking to the 'Quin$. i?.seballer6 hould note that the Evening Express enjoys tho confidence of the association. At last Monday's meeting of the executive committee a vote of thanks was passed this paper for the great promi- nence it is giving baseball. The game is likely to catch on at Swansea. The Danygraig Football Club are showing the way, and bave decided to fprm a baseball club. A meeting to airange details is to be held on May 28. A friendly was played at the Sophia Gardens on Thursday evening between teanis captained by Joe Buhr and J. Carry. The latter's team was mainly composed of St. Paul's men. A young lot, they showed up very promisingly.

I Edalji Gets Free Pardon BUT NO COMPENSATION IS GRANTED] Is Himself to Blame for His Arrest EdaJji has been granted a free pardon, but will obtain no oomipeneatiou for his imprisonment. The Home Office issued as a White Paper on Friday night the report of Sir Arthur Wilaon, Mr. John Lloyd Wharton, and Sir Albert de Rutzen, on the case of George Edalji, who was sentenced to seven years' penal servitude at Staffordshire. Quarter Sessions in October, 1903, on a charge of feloniously wounding a. horse on the night of August 17 or the morning of August 18, 1903.. The Committee declare that the case called for strict scrutiny for several reasons, .amongst them being the fact that the police commenced and carried on their investiga- tions, not for the purpo&e of finding out who was the guilty party, but for the purpose of flndiag evidence against Iklalji, who, they were already sure, was the guilty man. Dealing with the circumstantial evidence called at the trial the Committee declare that by far the most important point was that the police stated that they found horse hairs corresponding to the colour of the injured animal on a jacket and waistcoat found at the prisoner's house. These were pointed out at the time to the parents of the accused, who denied that there were any hairs there, and the Committee, while expressing regret that the matter was not fully cleared up at the time, say that the hairs were cer- tainly on the clothes when they were shown to Dr. Butler, who was a witness quite above suspicion. They think it doubtful whether the jury would have convicted upon the circumstantial evidence alone if they had not been influenced by the case put to them regarding the anonymous or pseudony- mous letters known as the "Greatorex Liettera" of 1903. I Only Himself to Blame I The Committee are not prepared to dis- sent from the finding of the jury that Edalji was the writer of those letters, and regard them as the work of a wrong-headed and madicious man indulging in a piece of impish mischief, pretending to know what he may know nothing of in order to puzzle the police and increase their difficulties in a very diffi- cult investigation." In conclusion the Commission state that in their opinion the conviction was unsatis- factory, and after a most -careful examina- tion of all the facts and printed evidence placed before them, they cannot agree with the verdict of the jury. The view of the case, however, which they had taken, was one which would not have warranted the Home Office in interfering with the convic- tion. On the one hand," the report says, "we think the conviction ought not to have taken place, for the reasons we have stated. That conviction, in addition to the sentence of the court, necessarily brought upon Edalji the total ruin of his professional position and prospects, and, as long as things continue ae they are, he must remain under police supervision, a condition in which it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for him. to leoover anything like the position he has lost. On the other hand, being unable to disagree with what we take to be the finding of the jury, that Edalji was the writer of the letters of 1903, we cannot but see that, assuming him to be an innocent man, he has. to some extent, brought his troubles upon himself." I FREE PARDON GRANTED In his acknowledgment of the report, the Home Secretary states he can only give effect to the views of the Committee by departing from the general principle which governs the action of the Home Secretary on such matters, whereby he advises the grrant of a free pardon only when the prisoner's innocence has been established to his satisfaction. He has, therefore, decided to advise his Majesty, as an act of Royal clemency, to grant a free pardon, but he has come to the oonolusion that the case is not, one in which any grant of compensation can I be made. I "IT IS AN INSULT," I Interviewed last night, Mr. Edalji said that he was profoundly dissatisfied with the result of the Commission's inquiry. "It is at least a step in the right direc- tion," he said, bnt the statement that I contributed to my conviction by writing some of the letters which played so promi. nent a part in the case is a slander—an insult. It is so far satisfactory to know that they are granting me a. free pardon, but that statement about the letters is a baeele&s insinuation, and I shall not rest content until it is withdrawn and an apology tendered. Further, I am disappointed to find that no compensation is offered. They have offered me a free pardon. They admit that I was wrcmgly oonvicted, and it is only just tha/t I should be compensated for the three years' penal servitude that I suffered. I shall not let matters rest as they are. I want com- pensation for my wrongs. I have been deliberately sacrificed in order that Gaptain Anson and the Stafford- share constabulary might be shielded from blame. The whole oonstalbulary have been in dis- grace over these outrages which have been perpetrated under their very noses, so to I spea.k. They never discovered the offenders, and I was made the scapegoat. There was no doubt a gang concerned in them, but the mere fact that I have been pardoned shows that I have had nothing to do with the out- rages. The point I want to impress upon the public is that the person who wrote those letters knew all about the police, and their movements, where they went, and where they were watching, and he also knew how to avoid them. He it was-whoever he may be -ho coonmitt.ed the outrages. I knew none of those things, as the police admitted. "These letters," Mr. Edalji went on, "were written probably at the instigation of the police to get me convicted, and wore trumped up for that purpose, because the moment the police commenced watohing me the letters began to be written. The police did not start watching me before any letters were written, but two days afterwards the letters appeared. "I suppose I shall get justice in driblets." Mr. Edalji was originally sentenced to seven years' penal servitude, but was released last year after being three years in prison. I

Air Rifle Shooting. I c- BULL'S EYE'S" GOSSIP I The presentation of the Girdlfl Association League I trophiee and prizee took place on Wednesday at the Y.M.C.A. Rooms. The challenge cup offered for the kague championship has been given by Mr. H. C. Hancock, the chairman of the Y.M.C.A.. Rifle Club. The cup was won by the University Settlement, and the following prizes in connection with the competitive meeting held in April were? also distributed :-M21a63 1: 1st, B.S.A. Air Illflo. F. Toojood (Penarth); 2nd, medal, A. H. Towney (Birchgrove). Class 2: 1st, pair field glasses, A. Huxtable (Victoria Institute); 2nd, medal. H. Pembertlvy (Penarth).

Workman vice-chairman, Mr. C. Watts treasurer, and Mr. E. H. Moeeiey secretary. The statement of accounts was presented, and showed a loss of Al 12s. 2d. on the season's working. Over a thousand members were registered during the season. The Cardiff League will shoot an inter-town match, with Barry on May 29. The date of the return ittter- league match with Newport is not yet definitely fixed, but in aU probability will be fired during the following week. The annual meeting of the Caxdiff League has been postponed from May 29 to June 5, at the York Hotel. All clubs desirous of joining for the ensuing season should make application by that date. The election of officers for the forthcoming year will adeo Co dealt with. In addition to the open competitive meeting at the Sophia Gardens next month, there is every likelihood of one also being heid in connection with the Cardiff Horticultural Society's show in July. The prize-list will, it in expe-ted, amount to £20. The Atlas sustained their first defeat at home in a twelve a-side match an Tuesday, the Badminton Club being the all-conquerors. The clu.b evidently meant winning, their team inoluding half a dozen of the best league shots. The Welsh National Association hold their next meeting on Thursday at the Brook iands Hotel, Swansea. Important business is down for discussion. CARDIFF LEAGUE MEETING A meeting of the Cardiff Licensed Victuallers League was held on Thursday at the Three Horse Shoes Hotel, Mr. W. Burris presiding. The .secretary re- ported that Messrs. Anderson and Co., London, had Intimated their intention of presenting a challenge shield to the league. The Anderson shield will be offered foy. the league competitions, and the S. A. Noel cup will be competed for in qualifying shoots. Entrance to the league will close on June 6.

Crack Cyclists Coming. CONTINENTAL RECORD BREAKERS TO I VISIT SOUTH WALES. Considerable interest is being taken in the I visit of three craek Continental cyclists to Carmarthen and Pontypridd next week. Piard, of France, the ex-amateur champion of the world, will be met by Heller, the champion of Austria, and Ibron Germain, the coloured crack of America, and rival of the great Major Taylor. Hichard Hellier I is now in his thirtieth year, but still manages to keep among the prize money. He began I as an amateur in 1896, when he won twenty firstB in two months. He spent 1897 in Russia, and won all before him; 1898 saw him win- ning in Hungary and Roumania, and in 1899 he returned to Russia. The following year he toured Germany, where he won the grand \1 prize orf Berlin, beating the Americana, M'Farland and Cooper; the grand prize of Cologne, being in front of Broka. the Belgian, and Jenkins, the Welsh orack; and finished in Italy by beating such riders as Bixoo, Tom-,fm-as-alli, and Meyers. He rooMIe his first appearance in Paris in 1902, and in the Grand Prix de Paques he beat Grogna in his heat, Bourofrte and Arend in the semi-final, figuring with Ellegaard and Jaequelin in the final. After securing many good races, he left for America, and took part in the six-day race at New York, but this was too hard work for Heller, and would not permit of him taking his usual twelve hours' sleep, so he retired at half distance. In 1903 he won the Grand Prix de la ItePublique from Arend, Rutt, arad Broka, and afterwards finished second in the Grand Prix de Paris, behind Jacquelin. In 1904 he won the Grand Prix Amsterdam, and also the Grand Prix Mar- seilles in 1905. last season he won many races in the provinces and South of France. Charles Piard I is a pure Parisien, and was born on the 14th of December, 1883. He finished his edu- cation at Dover, a?d, "0n&equently, &peake good English. He commenced as an amateur in 1900, winning several road races, but the follwing year he abandoned the road for tthe path, and made a very wise selection, for the following year he won the Grand Prix de Paris for amateurs from Gayron and Legrain.. Probably 1902 was the most suc- cessful season of his wlhole career, as he was practically in-vincible as an amateur, amd won, amongst other important events, the World's Championship, the Championship of France for the second time in succession, -r L, &c. Then he moae the Grand Prix de Paris, Ac. Then he made his debut as a cash rider in a three-cornered match at Buffalo against Bourotte and the Italian, Sin-grossi. and won rather cleverly, much to the surprise of the pros. In 1905 ihe beat the famous Jacquelin on several occasions, and was cl seed third in the Grand Prix dc I.U.V.F., finoshing: close to Eillegaard and Meyers. He also visited Wales and won several races, and finished up the reason by winning the Grand Pnx de Buffalo and the Prix d'Augleterre. During the past few seasons he has ridden with success all over Europe, winning a Vnree- comered match at Amiens on the last Satur- day in April. Ibron Germain (Nigger No. 2) I At the present time there are five niggera I racing in Europe, but whether a now Major Taylor will be produced it is hard to say. Ibron Germain has been re-christened by the racing boys in Paris "Nigger No. 2," for the simple reason that he ranks as second to Major Taylor. Nigger No. 2" will make bis first trip to Great Britian during the Whitsuntide holidays. He was' born at St. Pierre (Mar tin. i que) 22 years ago, and took a trip to France in 1901. He commenced riding as a profeesional rigiht away, and when one Sunday afternoon he romped away with a first-class handicap from the best of com- pany, the track managers thought they bad found a new star..Last year he took a trip to Spain, where he won the Grand Prix at Vigo, and afterwards secured the paced Grand Prix at L/isbourne. Daring the latter part of last Season he toured the South of France. and won the Grand Prix at Mar- seilles. Germain stands 5ft. 6in. and scaleK 9st. 61b. He oa.n speak four languages fluently.

Lawn Tennis. BY "LOVE ALL." I Most of the local clubs mmenced practice last I week. Thfr Cardiff club started on Wednesday, and I the two veterans, F. Hunt and J. Davies, were out, and seemed as quick and lively as in their youngest days. The Cardiff clubs will have all last year's players available, and have been strengthened by a new-comer, Ivor Jenkins, from Clifton. Their first fixture will be with Mackintosh early in June, but the programme has not yet been settled. It is in- tended to meet fewer Welsh and more English teams this season, with the idea of playing against stronger organisations. Penarth also made a start on Thursday. At present their prospects are rather poor, and it does not seem likely that the team will be any stronger. Mackintosh play their second match at Blackwood to-day, though they are not too confident of victory. They wJ;1 be at full strength, with the exception of C. H. 40ordingley, the team being—W. H. Ramsd&le and P. Swain (captain), A. W. James and Gunn, W. G. Thome and E. IEL Hancock. The team, it is. hoped, will be rather stronger this year. Two recruits are A. W. James and Gunn, from Syr Dafydd's. The courts are playing well. Although last Saturday's r?atch was played in the rain on Monday ttlie did not seem to have made any diierence to them. G. N. Howell, the hon. secretary of the Mackintosh Club, has been laid up this week with an attack of appendicitis. Fortunately, it has yielded to treatment without an operation, and he is now recovering.

I NEW JUDGES I The statement published in a Northern newspaper to the effect that the Lord Chan- oeAkxr has decided to create, at an early date, two ad-ditiodad judges of the High Court, is premature. No authority is vested in the Lord CtoancelLor to add to the number of judges. This can onJy be dome by legislative enactment. It is thought inevitable, however, that ehcKild the Orimdnal Appea.1 Bill piass into law tihos session a measure will have to be in/traduced to create more judgve, inas- much. as the Bill provides that the proposed Court of Criminal Appeal shall never consist I I of fewer than three judges.
