WOODEN SPOON I
WOODEN SPOON I WON BY WALES. 1 Soccer International A BIG DAY AT ABERDARE I All Exciting Incident i I [BY I- PENDRAGON.111 I The internationaJ football programme ww brought to a conclusion this afternoon at 4berdare, when Wales and Inland met for the twenty-seventh time. Prom the early morning rain had fallen tea-dily, and the ground wae not only heavy, b11t had also a greasy surface. An hour before the match the rain showed signs of teasing. and spectators began to pour in ^Pidly. The international obampiomhip has already n decided, honours being equally divided "een England ind Sootland, and to-day '*< omiy question that remained was whether ?la.nd or Wales would experience the un- bred honour of taking the wooden spoon,  nation having Buffered defeat at the ??ds of their more powerful neighbours. .? going to Aberdare the Welsh Football ''?eiat.ioQ were, in a measure, breaking ground, for previous Association inter' 4&ti<>nal,s have been played at Cardiff. 'I?rrexham in the North, is the home of ^lsh Association football, and there the r4atoh has usually been played, although this ?rticula-r contest has been shifted about as ^Sards the Welsh venue more than any ?ther of the international matches on Welsh '?1 Bangor. Shrewsbury, and Llandudno tilve all been visited, but Aberdare has not £ therto been favoured with an international association contest. f The idea of the Welsh Association is to -?? the dribbling code in South Wades, kich, as every athletic enthusiast knows, is !11.6 great stronghold of Rugby foot.b?. It 16 CUrIoUS and contradictory to the ?xp?- ?.?c of other nations that Rugby footb&U ShOWd flourish in the densely-populated and T^Oiercial region of South Walce, while ??cia.tdon football should be popular in the -?seIy.poTmla.ted. romantic, and moun- t4'4'Dlls country of the North of the Prmcd- »ality Welsh Withdrawals In other countries the great centres ot Population are all for Association football. The form of Wales against both Scotland, and ftngiaiid was much better than that dds- Played by Ireland; and, although there was t,he usual crop of withdrawals from the Welsh team, the prospect was that Wales would achieve a narrow victory. There were no fewer than eight changes from the side originally chosen by the Welsh Association, the only players w<ho were able to respond to the call being Meredith, Parry. and Blew. Of course, there was general rejoicing that this trio included the famous Billy Meredith, 11 jjianchester United—certainly the finest outside forward of the day. On the other Gla.nd. the Welshmen were bound to miss the services of the brilliant L. R, Roose. of Sun- Ilerland-probably the most dazzling goal- r that the Association game hats ever Wn. Roose has stopped innumerable ablOtA when it seemed impossible that he 111d do 80. and, undoubtedly, when any tb.er goalkeeper would have failed. Still, he ■jf an erratic player, and at tunes has done tiiri'grs that would discredit a first-class laYer. In short, he is the Percy Bush of the libbling code. f Wales were expected to be strongest in the forwards, and Ireland at half, and this ill-easea the prospects of scientific and inte- resting play. The matah gained in attractiveness by the Presence in the Welsh team of T. D. Jones, ?f Aberdare, and late of Notts Forest, at inside left, and Haydn Price, of Aston Villa, and late of Aberdare, at left ha,lf-tvro Players who have brought credit to the Asoo- oiation Code in Sourtih Wales. Past Matches Of the 26 matches already played between the countries Wales have won twelve, Ireland 11-ite, and five hiave been dirawn. The Weilsh successes were largely achieved in the early Period of the game, when seven victories Were scored in the first nine matches. Of recent years the countries have been remark- ably evenly placed. Halx-an-iionr before the match there were about 4,000 people present, and there seemed a prospect of double that number by 3.30, ?h?n the teams were timed to Reid. All the ??eTe of the district started worK this morn- il?g an hour earlier in order to get &way in ample time for the match. Excursions were iun from most of the principal towns in South Wales, and these were all fairly well filled 10,000 People Present I In the last half-hour before the kick-off the attendance was largely increased, and at 3.20, ajt a rough estimate, there were 7,000 spec- tators present.. It was announced that Craig had been chosea captain of the Irish team, and M. Wat kins, of Stoke, of the Welsh team. There were nearly ten thousand people in attendance when the teams fielded at 3.30 in I the following order:- IRELAND. •SOOTT (hverton). goal; .ÇRAIG (Glasgow Hangers) (, captA ai. n, ) and, t R'CAktTyEy (Belfast Celtic), books; •DARLINtt (Linfield), +*HARRIS (Shelbourne), and •M'COJSNKLL (Sunderland), hau-DatfJts, HUNTER (Belfast Celtic), HA ILTON, t*H.

Ibbotson, of Derby; lines- men-Wales, Mr. George Williams (Cardiff); Ireland, Mr. P. Meenan (Derby City). The Welsh team looked a smart lot of athletes in their brilliant red jerseys, while the Irishmen also looked well in Royal blue. THE GAME The Irishmen won the toss, and Wales attempted an attack on the right, but was quickly beaten ba.ok. and, Horace Blew mis- sing the ball, there was am exciting moment in front of the Welsh goal. Hunter was given possession, but he failed to beat Jeff Jones, who cleared. Then there was a pretty bit of work on the Welsh right, and Meredith travelled dowu to the corner and centred, out M'Cartney got the ball away. In the subsequent play T. D. Jones and Hodgkinson were prominent, ana the ball was passed over to Meredith, but 'before he could centre M'Cartney kicked behind to save. Ireland cleared the corner, but still the Welshmen remained on the attack, and at this stage there was the strongest prospect of a Welsh N-i-otory, for the Reds3 ivere clearly out- playing the Blues. There was an exciting and Extraordinary Incident 'L1- _1__1-1. A. wnen .m.ereo.u,n m a reuiamawji UUQ centre from the right corner. The ball was kicked with great judgment, and seemed to be travelling into the goal. However, it landed on the cross-bar, and Scott, in jump. ing up to save, hung on to the cross-bar and brought it down with him, breaking it in half The ball fell outside, and there was no goal, but the game ;was delayed while a work- man nailed up the cross-bar. The rain had now quite stopped, and there appeared to be at least 10,000 people present. Ireland attacked after restjming, and Hunter shot for golf, but offside waa given against O'Hagan, and the Welshmen temporarily cleared. Again the Irishmen came back, however, and, the half-backs serving their forward admir- ably, there was some warm work close to the Welsh goal. Clever combination between Meredith and Parry allowed the Welshmen to become aggressive, but eventually offside was given against Meredith, and the Irishmen were enabled to clear. T. D. Jones and Hod- ginson were frequently prominent on the home left, but they found Darling and Craig sterling defenders, and were quite unable to do anything effective. There was a dashing attack by the Blues, and Hamilton put in a hard shot, but the ball went straight into the hands of R. 0. Evans, who cleared beauti- fully. Still the Hibernians remained on the aggressive, and, Ptrrt missing badly, Bloan was easily able to beat Evans, and scored theftrllt goal of the match. TIJie success was generously chesrad by the spectators. Again Meredith travelled down to the right corner and centred, but Mark Watkins headed out- side. Meredith was given the ball over and over again by the Welsh halves, but he wm very carefully watched by the Irish defender, and most of his efforts were spoilt. From the corner, however, the Man- chester United ma.n centred a marvellous drop ahot, which, unfortunately, travelled a little too far and went outside. Still the Irishmen proved the better side on the general run of the play, and. there wae a setries of attempts <m the Welsh goal, Sloan had one glorious chance, bet farftod badly to riae to the oocaaioB, u he ba& onmedet

The ground was very e,oft, and only a moderate crowd witnessed the game. Early on the Llandaff men forced the pace, but the Crusaders' forwards, playing with determina- tion afterwards, offered numerous oppor- tunities of passing movements among the backs. The ■Crusaders' (half-backs were much the smarter in getting the ball away. but the backs, although making gallant efforts to combine,, their play, on the whole, was ineffective in the matter of gaining ground. The fight. was mainly between the forwards, and in thM department Canton had a pull. Scrimma?in? in the Lhmdaif 25, the Canton backs got the ball, and a creditable round of passing for once in a way resulted in M'Dougall gaining a try. Five minutes later the same lad (who was an international schoolboy) dropped a, clever goal. This, however, did not deter Llandaff in Th. further enorts, for their forwards did well in f,he loose, and sained much srround. Half-time score: -G. T. Pts. I Canton Crusaders l 1 7 H&ndaff North. o 0 0 I Poor passing among the Llandaff backs spoilt several chances that came their way when they were in an admirable position to press home the attack. Potter, a. Llandaff three-quarter, had a nasty kick, and went off for ten minutes. This was unfortunate for Llandaff, who were doing well at that rpøriod. Goodfellow made an effective run from mid-field. but he gave the ball over to M'Dongall on his left, which was ruled forward, when he could have crossed on his own. For ten minutes Llandaff pluckilyheld out against a. number of attacks, but Savage, picking up in the loose, made a run Savage, might rightly be x Owt, djpoul a which kangaroo. He waa tackled by the Llandaff I full-back right on the goal-line, who brought him down.

The visitors continued to outplay Albion, and only the resolute defence of Lillicrap saved the homesters. Now and again Bennetts or Lillicrap drove 40ardiff ■back, but, as a rule, the Welshmen were on the attack, their play being more clever, and they led at the interval by five points.

Cardiff quickly got to work, and a beauta- ful round of passing initiated by Culverwell, and 11 up by Furness, Flooks, M'Craith, and j W. obpiller saw the lattor making grea,t strides, with Reardon in attendance. A try was a certainty, and Spiller sailed past Scmtar and Lewis. The "Oly Boys" attempted a passing bont, which broke down when Romans parted with the ball. Directly after- wards Vance was making for the Cardiff line, when Tommy Reardon promptly pulled him down. Gloucester were smart individually, but they attempted few concerted move- ments. W. Gasey and Duncan were pro- minent in the loose, and Bob Williams got in several excellent touch-finders, despite tne fact that he was hard pressed. Duncan threw out the ball cleverly from a line-out, but G. Romans was on top of M'Craith before he could part. Williams misfield, but oleverly recovet-ed himself, and saved the situation when two speedy Gloucester forwards were in the act of dribbling away. Fumees and CuIverw?U cut out an opaning for M'Craith to crcas. and jmt on the inten'al Culverwell gained the third, try. Half-time score: U. i- I Cardiff Reserves 0 3 9 Gloucester Old Boys 0 0 0 Play was immediately in tihe Gloucester half on resuming, and, following a movement amongst the home backs, Willie Spiller cross- kicked, but no one was up to take advan- tage. The Gloucester full back had to kick over his own line to prevent Spiller from scoring. Furness was always in evidence foT good work, a,nd a strong forward rush by Gloucester was only stayed when Bob Wil- liams miade a clever mark. Duncan, Stroud. and Casey were "working hard, and a forward rush by the home packs put Cardiff in an easy attacking position. Accurate inter- ,passing between Tommy Reardon ana Ge?ori?e 4'Craith resulted in the latter cros?ng.

Newport v Leicester
Newport v Leicester LITTLE INTEREST IN THE MATCH I There was painful evidence to-day that football interest at Newport has slumped to a very great exten.t. The gate was one of the smallest which has been seen for a first team match for a lonil, time. At 3.30, when the teams were about to start, there could not have been more than 1.200 to 1,500 people present, but the number bucked up probably by a thousand as time went on Newport drew with Leicester earlier in the 6eason, the score being a goal each. For to- day's game the Tigers had to put up with a very makeshift sort of a team. At the last moment five men disappointed them, and players from junior teams had to be called upon,. Newport had to play practically a second t.hrree-ciuarter line. Teams:- Newport: Back, F- W. Birt; three-quarter backs, Stanley Williams, M. Baker, H. J. Rowlands, and W. Win-field; half-backs, T. H. Vile and C. Francis; forwards, G. Boots, E. Thomas, E. Jenkins, J. Hodges, P. Waller, H. J. Pritchard, G. Staite, and W. Johnson. Leicester: Back, C. Birch; three-quarter backs, D. Campbell, K. B. Wood, J. W. D. Smith, and P. W. Lawrie; half-backs, G. W. Wood and J. R. Watson,; forwards, F. Mat- thews (captain), F. PflD.ny, C. Grimson, W. J Freer, A. J. Hobbs, G. Middlet-ond, N. V. H. Bingham, and W. Hall. Referee: Mer. Hague, Cardiff. I THE GAME. The turf was soft and slippery when G. Boots kicked off for Ifewport. The visiting forwards did some preteinsg, and Birt had to touch down- from a kick over. A good game was witnessed after t.ht drop-out, the Leices- ter backs doing verj creditaMe parsing. Harry Rowlands and I Jones combined Y J<)n,s combine-d wedl for Newport Tight wing play. The visi- tors' line was fo,r a time in the greatest peril, but Campbell, toe left wing, relieved very smartly. A mtuute later, Wirafield, getting the ball, went through on his own, and scored a try, Rovlands placing a goal. The Tigers went awvy in fine style after this to the home quarters, but were repulsed with a good run on tie left wine by Baker, who was only stopped a yard from the line. Play ruled in the Lei-ester half for a con- siderable time, but the def ence of the visitors' third line was exoeptonally keen. Several good chances were mdaed by the home backs failing to hold the sltrpery ball. At length from the croes-kiek It Percy Jones in the Leicester 25, Hodges secured, and grounded a good try, wham Kowlmds failed to convert. I A moment later the Lome backs again got possession, and the bal travelled from right to left to Percy Jone; and the latter, with a fast sprint rounded the visitors' full back, and secured Newport'sthird try. Burt failed with the place kick. 'he home forwards con- tinued to show up beter in the loose, and thus penned the LeiteT men nea.r their own line. Relief cam, at length by Baker, the home right wrog, holding on too long and beinw tackled in pssession. Play settled down at half-way, whee a very uninteresting sarum took place. Th< game had now slowed down considerably, aid the Leicester for- wards were having th ball frequently from the scrum. Half-time scon: G. T. Pts.

.I Premier's Return I
Premier's Return I Hearty Reception in London I MINISTERIAL CHANGES I Mr. Asquith returned to London yesterday evening after his visit to the King a.t Biarritz. He was accorded a very enthusiastic weloome on his arrival at Charing Cross Station. On the arrival of the train the Prime Minister and his friends found theme elves the centre of an excited crowd. Someone called for "TJiree cheers for the new Premier," and these were very heartily given. Mr. Asquith's first steps were turned to 10, Downing-street, to make inquiries as to the health of his late Chief. There he met Mr. Haldane, Sir Thomas Barlow, and Dr. Daweon. After remaining for about twenty minutes, the Prime Minister, accompanied by Mr. Haldane, went on to his house at 20, Ca vendish-square. To-day Mr. Asquith will have informal con- ferences with a number of the collea-gues who will be aa&ooiated under his leadership in the reconstituted Government. There is still some donbt as to one or two of the posts. It is understood that the Marquess of Ripon (Privy Seal) is retiring, and that Sir Henry Fowler (Chancellor of the Duchy) may follow suit. Possibly Lord Elgin (Colonial Secretary), if he elects to remain in the Cabinet, will succeed Lord Ripon as Privy Seal. THE PROBABLE CABINET I The following is the probable composition I of the Cabinet, according to current report: Premier and First Lord of the Treasury (.E5,000). -Mr. Asquith. Lord Chancellor <.CIO,OOO).-Iord Loreburn. President of the Council ( £ 2,000).—Lord Tweed- mouth. Privy Seal (unpaid).-r-The Earl of Elgin. Chanoellor of the Exchequer ( £ 5,000).—Mr, Lloyd George. Foreign Affairs ( £ 5,000).—Sir E. Grey. Home Affairs ( £ 5,000).—Mr. H. Gladstone. Oolonies ( £ 5,000).—The Earl of Crewe. War ( £ 5,000).—Mr. Haldane. India ( £ 5,000).—Mr. Morley (in the Lords). First Lord of the Admira.lty ( £ 4,500).—Mr. M'Kenna. Board of Trade ( £ 2,000).—Mr. Churchill. Local Government Board ( £ 2,000).—Mr. Burns. Agriculture (;EZ,DDD).-L-ord Carrjington. Education ( £ 2,000).—Mr. Bunciman. Duchy of Lancaster ( £ 2,000).—Sir H. Fowler (?). Irish Secretary ( £ 4,425).—Mr. Birrell. Scottish Secretary ( £ 2,000).—Mr. Sinclair (?). Postmaster-General ( £ 2,500).—Mr. Buxton. Commissioner of Works ( £ 2,000).—Mr. Har- court. Mr Asquith. Receives Ministers Mr. Asquitn received some of his old colleagues at his house in Cavendish-square this morning. Mr. Vaughan Nash, his newly- appointed secretary, and members from. 10, Downing-street, were there. Presumably, therefore. Mr Asquith is following the example of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman when forming his Ministry in converting his private house for the time being into a Government Department. Among Mr. Asquith's visitors this morning were Mr. Herbert Samuel, Mr. M Kinnon Wood, Earl Beauchamp, and Mr. Runeiman. Sir Henry Fowler and Dr. Maonamara were other callers during the morning at the Premier's residence. Up to 12.45 none of the prospective holders of the principal offices had put in an appearance, which seems to suggest that in the main Mr. Asquith's list was already completed before he left for Biarritz.

glOOoOOO LEGACY
glOOoOOO LEGACY FARMER'S FORTUNE FOR ABERAVON AND MAESTEG FAMILIES Romantic Story Mary Ann Clifford, the wife of a tinker, of No. 1, Yilliers-row, Velindre, near Aberavon, has just been informed that she and her sister and two brothers have inherited a for- tune of L100,000 left by an uncle named James Pryor, a farmer in America. Mr. A. W. Gilling, a solicitor, of Harrogate, visited Velindre on Thursday for the pur- pose of taking particulars, and then went on to Maesteg to interview a mother and brother of the lucky woman. Mrs. Clifford lives in very poor circum- stances, and has six children. Her father was once a farmer in a large way near Harrogate. He was, so it is stated., murdered. The solicitor traced Mrs. Clifford through Police-coaistable F. Evans, as he caJled at the police-station and the officer made the inquiries. The interview with the delighted woma.n lasted a long while. He informed her that he had noticed an advertisement in a Yorkshire paper inquiring for the wherea-bouts of the children of Owen Pryor, and remembered the tragic happen- ing to the father. This caused him to take! the case in hand. One brother and sister resided in Armley, near Leeds Mrs. Cliff ?r:l was formerly a Mrs. Moseley. THE MURDER OF THE FATHER! Owen Pryor, the father, was at one time a large farmer and cattle dealer at Knares- borough, Yorkshire, but about 40 years ago he was brutally murdered on a market day. He cad beea to Harrogate, and had sold 100 head of cattle and 500 sheep, and on his way home h; wis attacked by ruffians, mnr- dered, and robbed of the ironey. which amounted to a considerable sum, aAd his body was thrown down a quarry. The mur- derers were never discovered. Mrs. Pryor re-married, and came to South Wais to reside about 23 years ago, and now lives at Maesteg: with her son. Velindre is situated at the end of the borough of Aberavon, but outside the actual town, and consists of small cottages. Mrs Clifford Interviewed been by our representative, Mrs. uiinom who has been twice married, her first hus- band being a Mr. Mosely, naturally exhibited considerable jubilation over the prospect of her supposed inheritance. She stated em- phatically that she did not wish to make any statement until something more definite was known. The solicitor, Mr. Gilling, of Harrogate, she explained, had promised to communi- cate with her some definite news by Monday. She believed that her expectations of fhe matter would be realised. Her father was Owen Tryor, a farmer, of Knoesborough, and was murdered about 40 years ago. His brother then went to America, and he is the gentleman who is now dead and has left the money. Mrs. Clifford had no personal j knowledge of this uncle. The solicitor, who saw her on Thursday, seemed to be confident that she and xier rela- tives are certain to benefit. Mrs. Clifford, however, did not appear to realise the mag- nitude of the possibility to be derived, and when asked for a photograph of herself she smilingly remarked that she had never thought of having one taken, but promised that if the news proved true she would be very pleased to consider the matter. The news of the supposed windfall has naturally created great interest in the locality.

I FORGIVE AND FORGET
FORGIVE AND FORGET Mabon Makes Peace DAVIS-ST ANTON. AFFAIR I That unpleasant little incident between 1 Mr. F. L. Davis and Mr. C. B. Stanton which disturbed the conciliatory spirit of the South Wales Conciliation Board three weeks ago came to a happy termination to-day, the hatchet being buried by mutual consent. Coalowners and workmen's representa- tives met in the usual way at the Engineers' Institute, Cardiff, to eettle various disputes and transact ordinary business. Mr. F. L. Davis presided on the owners' side, a-nd Mr. W. Abraham (Mabon), M.P., occupied a similar position 00 the other side of the house. There was an exceptionally long agenda to go through, and there was an undercurrent of feeling that the speedy disposal of the Dav,iis-Stail-ton affair was a desirable and necessary prelude to the more serious busi- ness of the meeting. When the two sides assembled together, about haJf-an-hour before noon. Mabon SIt once assumed the role of peacemaker, and in a few well-chosen sentences explained that Mr. Stanton never intended to call Mr. F. L. Damis a liar. They were aJl sorry that the incident ooonrred, and, without offering any formal apology, it was sufficient that the two sides should mutually agree to forgive a.nd forget. No apology being demanded, it was the general feeling that Mabon had thrown just sufficient oil on the troubled waters, and that has timely and tactful intervention had done all that was neoessary. Official Report The following was the official report issued to the press: With regard to the incident that occurred at the previous meeting of the board, Mr. W. Abraham, M.P., made certain expressions which were considered satisfar-tory by the owners' side, and it was mutually agreed by botih sides of the board to allow the matter to drop. With regard to the stoppage without notice of 26 men in the F<>ur-feet Seam at Messrs. the Powell Duffryn's Treamman Colliery, the owners having complained of such stoppage as being a breach of the Conciliation Board Agreement, the workmen's representatives promised to send two of their number to inquire into the matter, with the view, if possible, of getting the men to resume work. The following disputes were referred to two .1 representatives for investigation — Price-list for a new seam at Coegnairt Colliery: Messrs. H. E. Gray and D. Watts Mo. Maesymarchog Colliery, paymeait for timber and supply of house ooal: Messrs. Thomas Seymour and John Williams, M.P. Morfa Colliery, price-list for the Cribb-wr Seam: Messrs. H. T. WaJes and E. Morrell. Rhos Colliery, payment for certain items of labour: Messrs. Thomas Seymour and W. E. Morgan. Abercynon Colliery, supply of house coal to workmen Messrs. Henry Lewis and W. Abra- ham, M.P. Aber Colliery, cutting bottom: Messrs. W. W. Hood and Thomas Evans. Abernant Colliery fMon.), price for re-open- ing Barry faces that had fallen in: Messrs. Willi&m Smith and Evan Thomas. The owners' represent ativer. complained that the workmen at Messrs. North's Naviga- tion Company's Caerau No. 3 Pit and the men working in the hay stores at the same company's collieries had on the 1st inst. given notices to terminate contracts, such notices being a breach of the agreement. The workmen's representatives promised to ma-ke efforts to get the notices withdrawn, and in the event of this being done, it was arranged that the questions in dispute should be referred to Messrs. H. E. Gray and D. Watte Morgan for investigation. Easter Holidays With regard to the Easter holidays, it was agreed by the boa.rd that there should be three days for the workmen at Easter, and that, in the absence of a mutual arrange- ment between the owners and workmen at the various oollieries as to which days shall be fixed, the days shall be either Good Fri- day, Saturday, and Eaeter Monday, or, as an alternative, Easter Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. At the suggestion of the workmen's repre- ntatives, the following subjects, which they bad placed on the agenda, were adjourned to a future meeting, namely, the question of the supply of house ooal to injured work- nfen; a contract book to be signed by new workmen when engaged at the colliery; and the question of the recent decision of his Honour Judge Bryon Roberts in the case of Walters v. the Ocean Ooal Company (Limited). Messrs. E. M. Hann and Charles Edwards reported that they had settled the Ferndale hauliers' hauling question. Mr. James Winstone reported that he amd Mr. Seymour had agreed on the qneetions that had been referred to them at Panty- ffynnon Colliery. Messrs. H. T. Wales and C. B. Stamton re- ported that they had settled the dispute pt Mynyddnewydd Colliery. Messrs. C. H. Eden and W. E. Morgan re- ported that they had failed to agree on the dispute as to cutting bottom at Brook Drift. Messrs. H. E. Gray and D. Watts Morgan re- ported that they had failed to agree on the list of rates for day men at Messrs. ort.h.1 Navigation Colliery.
THE ARMY FOR REFUGE I
THE ARMY FOR REFUGE Alfred Benjamin Yates, a middle-aged man, who appeared in the uniform of the Shrop- shire Militia Regiment, was charged in I custody at Newport to-day with neglecting to maintain his wife and five children, who had been chargeable to the funds of the union since October, 1905. J Mr. Griffiths, generaJ relieving officer, said defendant and his wife were separated in September, 1904, the husband, who was a car- penter a.t A be ream, being ordered to pay 12.s. 6d. per week as maintenance. He failed to do so. and the guardians had iIllcurred L58 in their keep. "Why are you wearing that uniform?" asked one of the magistrates. Because I have got nothing else to do," the defendant replied. His wife said, except for one payment at the time that the order was made, she had not had a penny from the prisoner, who ran away from the district. Police-constable Shapland said he had only just come out of Usk Prison. He was j arrested at Hereford, where the Militia were assembled, taken to U&k Prison for a month, and then re-arrested on another warrant when he came out. The Bench eent him baok for another month.

Altogether, 4-ne suggested programaw reflects credit on its authors, and these V little doubt, but wihat it will -be approved, o by the Executive Council. At present the Welsh Miniature Silk Association, have not defined a "tyro" far the Welsh meeting. Hitherto, a tyro hao been one who has never won a. prise off 56 or upwards (cash or val ue) at any meetiak promoted by the NJS..A., S.M.R.C.. « W.MJR.A." It is felt by some that this defixmtion should be altered to include those whp have newer won a prize of 10s., wMtet atfceifc contend that only those who have never wor any prize should be regarded as tyros. The tyros at the meeting will be weN- eatered-for, as Z5 per cent, of the prize money in all the squadded oompetitAons v reserved for them. Thus, in the first flwa competitions a sum of over S17 will be put aside for tyrOS only. One point which may possibly affect the entries at the meeting is the fact that the Socieity of Miniature Rifle Clabs have decided to hold their London meeting on the Ham and Petersham range on July 3 and 4. a week later than the Welsh meeting. This is hardly fair of the S-M.R.C-, as both meetings are bound to suffer, but, judging by the programmes iasaed by tihe two .bodies, the Londoq3 meeting will be < small affair, compared with the Welsh meeting at Newport. Apparently by the press Tepofts, the Monmouthshire County Associataoxi of the Territorial Army decided, at their meatinc a few days ago, to let the application of the Welsh Miniature Rifle Association for members of mrimature rifle clwbs to praotne on long ranges to lie on the tilbie. 11 No reply, however, has yet been received by the Welsh Miniature Rifle Association from the county body, which seems etnajLge. lit has been put down, howcw, to "a way they have in the Armv The Newbridge-on-Wye club have jwt r finished their competition for the Welsh I Miniature Rifle Association apow and meda?

afew minutes before. It was palpable that the Welahmien were making a mistake in playing so much to Meredith, for they enabled the Irishmen to perceive where they were likely to experience their chief danger and to direct their operations accordingly. There was one particularly fine piece of pass- ing by the Welsh forwards, and Meredith ended up with A Terrific Daisy-Cutter I but the ball went wide, and off-side was also I given against the reds. Hunter was again prominent on the right for Ireland, but he dallied too long, and wihen at last he did I centre Jeff Jones easily cleared. Stall the play went almost entirely in favour of the Irishmen, and R. O. Evans was called upon twice in succession to handle. Horace Blew on one occasion was warmly applauded for I beating Hunter and Hamilton and saving a dangerous move. Ireland were on the I aggressive when the interval arrived. I Half-time soore. Goal. I IRELAND 1 W A.LS 0 I A VARIETY TURN During the interval the grznld stand specta- tors were greatly amused by the operations of a lightning cartoonist, who sketched foot- ballers and other celebrities with consider- able skill, and causeS much fun by the facility with which he was able to write back- wards. When he ha.d finished his perform- ance the showers of coppers fell almost as thickly as flakes of snow. | SECOND HALF J When play was resumed the Welshmen at once attacked, Parry and Meredith being prominent. Buckle made a fast run down the left for Ireland, but the reds quickly returned to the visitors' quarters, yet lacked the combination neoessary to complete a well- conceived effort. Slofn, Hamilton, and Hunter were prominent in a movement which carried the ball close to t,he home goal, and a foul; against the reds nearly resulted in the second j goal being registered against them. Dicky Morris, who had been doing poorly all through, at last gave a glimpse of his old form, when toe got off cleverly on the right and passed to Meredith, who ran up to the eorner, and then centred, but the Irish defence again proved too good. Ireland again attacked, and, after beautiful I combined forward play. Hunter sent in a long shot, which w&\ well stopped by R. 0.  Evans. At this point the Welshmen began to do much better, and Meredith sent in a, cw.arm shot. which was well cleared bv Scott. The Manchester United man had a glorious opportunity a minute later, but, taking his shot hurriedly, he sent the ball behind, with a roaf of disappointment from the crowd. Dicky Morris was the next to get a chance, but Scott proved one too many for him. After this there was a spell of attacking by the Hibernians, but they were not able to place ,the Welsh goal seriously in danger, and soon the reds were busy at the other end, but off-side was given against Meredith when t-he home forwards were well placed for a tangible result, defence a?ain proved too good. Still, the pjay wen, mainly in favour of Wales but the Irish defence was always very sound and another shot a.t goal by Mark Watkins was stopped by Scott. The Welsh left wing had been practically idle this half, but at last T. D. Jones and Hodgkinson had a chance, and there, was a nice bit of work between them, and eventually Hodgkinson shot wide. Mereaitn maae a grew-L euuri to pixiii tne match out of the fire, and sent in a fierce shot, which SootJt saved marvellously; the feat being greetæ with unetnited applause by the spectators. With a fine piece of COMBINATION THE IRISH FORWARDS carried the ball more than half the length of the field. Hunter securing, put in a, shot which fell on the outside of the net. Just as brilliant a piecle of play was seen by the Welshmen a moment later, and they seemed likely to be at last rewarded for their efforts when off-side was given against Meredith. The referee's decision was un- favourably received by the spectators. Hay-\ don Price enabled the Welsh forwards to again get on the attack, but the Irish defence was always too good for them. By their supremacy in this half Wales certainly deserved to score, and they had another chance when a free was given them for a. foul not very far outside the penalty area. Still the Irishmen kept them out, amd there was another exciting moment when Meredith took a corner and sent the ball right across the goal-mouth. Mark Watkins next came near scoring with a wonderfully fine screw shot, which Scott, in handling to save, sent over the cross-bar. There were a couple ot corners in succession, and from the second one Wales had a good chance, as they had had through the match. The ball came right across the goal, a.nd Mcre?it'h seemed to have a grea.t chance of I' putting it through, but he md6o?z ha 0, hope of victory for Wales was gone, for time I wae called a. moment la/ter. Final aoore: U. i. te. I IRD. L&,N7D ?, I Opinions on the Game! MT. WILTON, Londonderry (Vaoe-diMiirman of the Irish Foot/ball Association), said: It was a poor game for an international; too much attention was paid to Meredith, with I the .result that the game was not opened up sufficiently. Scott deserves a note of praise. MR. JOHN GERGUSON (secretary of the Irish Football Association) said: The gapie was of a scrambling nature. The pitch was against good football- Scott in goal was wonderful. MR. MARK WATKINS (the Welsh captain) thought the game a poor one, and on the run of the play tcbe result should have been a draw. The ground was a fearful one.
