AbortiveWrestlingMatch VARYINC VERSIONS OF THE DISPUTE I I It is possible that there will be develop- I ments following the fracas which resulted in the wreetling match between Councillor Peter Wright and Frank Crozier being scratched on Saturday night at Newport. In the course of an interview with one of our representatives on Monday- Councillor Wright said it was evident to him I that Crozier did not want to so to the mat. Crozier appeared in the dressing-room of the Tredegar-hall shortly before the match in company with a local gentleman, who was his backer. Councillor Wright said the room was for artistes only, and the non-artiste niust leave. Crozier demurred to this, and said the gentleman was his second. but I Councillor Wright knew that this was not so, I and requested the gentleman indicated to leave, which he did. Crozier took offence, and asked for two free passes for his friends, but was told that as it was a charity per- formance there were no free passes, and t-hat Councillor Wright had paid for admission for his own family. Crozier said something to Jim Drisooll, which was resented. Dnseoii did not touch him, but Dai Dollings. the trainer of Councillor Wright, a man of only 8st. or a little more, punched Crozier. He got his ooat and went away. Mr. Alf. Hewitt, the ju-jitsu wrestler, bora out Councillor Wright. Crozier, he said, uttered an insult, and offered to fight. Shortly before this. as Councillor Wright said, Mr. Jack Neill, who was Orocier's manager, called Mr. Wright aside and asked him to withdraw the stipulation that Japanese holds should be allowed. The Newport man could not consent, as he was inder a heavy handicap on account of age. Crozier was much the younger man, and Councillor Wright relied upon his knowledge ■>f ju-jitsu to defeat him. Frank Crozier agreed with Councillor Wright up to a point. It was common ground about the request for a visitor to withdraw, and about the non-issue of free tickets. But, said Crozier, when there was a threat to put his backer out with force he fCrozier) said, If you put him out you will have to put me out as well." Peter Wright said that would not be' very hard. Crozier Replied, Keep your hair on, Petér; this is not the place for fighting. We will do our fighting on the mat." One of Peter Wright's friends, said Crozier, Struck him on the jaw, and when he (Crozier) Closed with him there were eight men round him, trying to get a blow at him. Seeing that he was in a dangerous position, he slipped out of the (Irl-ging-room into the hall with his shirt nd vest torn. Crozier denied making use of lrtiproper expressions, but demanded, as he was a British subject, that he should have equal justice with white men.

THE LAND OF OLD TINS. An interesting: insight into social and com- mercial conditions in Hayti, the hlack "epublie, is contained in a report from the British Consul-G-enenal, issued by the Foreign Office. Old tins are in great deznaJid throughout the island. Condensed milk, pre- serve, butter, and lard tins form praictically the bulk of the cooking and table utensils }i £ ed throughout the island. Cooking1 is done in 51b. butter and lard tins. Condensed milk tins become drinking mu.gg by the simple a4"dition of a bad which serves as a handle. Old petroleum tins are used for storing and carrying water, and even a cook in a well- to-do family prefers old tins for cooking pnr- Poees to ordinary saucepans or other kitchen I)-tensils.

I South Wales Marathon GRAND RUN FROM NEWPORT TO PONTYPRIDD The experiment made by the Pontypridd I Athletic Club in instituting a great Welsh j' Marathon race on Whit-Monday proved a I decided success from every point of view. The weather conditions were ideal, though rather warm, and the eighteen starters included some of the best long distance runners of the day; They were able to react each point before the scheduled time, and the route from the Pill Harriers Grounds, Newport, to the Taff Vale Park, Pontypridd, was lined with thousands of spectators. The arrangements throughout were excellent, so that notwithstanding the crowds of people, who at some places gave encouraging cheers to the competitors, the progress of the latter was in no way impeded. The start from Newport was made just a minute after two. Of the 24 competitors Who had entered eighteen turned up, and were despatched by Councillor Peter Wright as follows :-D. John (Hardy), F. Lord (Cleok- heatonj, B. D. Christmas (Llandebie), W. Dixey (Newport), G. Powell (Cwmbran), D. Span wick (Cwmbran), Angelo Butti ;Oom Italy), A. H. Way good (Pontypridd), W. J- Western (Weston-super-Mare), J. H. Evans (Caerphilly), C. E. Harry (Cardiff St. Saviour's), A. Martin (Brymnawr), A. T. Yeomans (Swansea), C. Gould (Cardiff), J I Croin (Rhydfelen), J. Roberts (Sefton Har- riers) J. Price (Small Heath), and Jaonea Parfitt (Pontypridd). The following had entered, but were ncn- ..a.rters :-F. Harrington (Cardiff), A. J. Sully (Newport), C. E. Ilowarth (Liverpool), R. Hil- ton (Finchley), J. T. Rimmer (Sefton Harriers), and M. Murphy (Pontypridd). A large crowd assembled to witness the start. All the men were in a bunch as they left the Pill Grounds and emerged on to the railway embankment before getting on to the Cardiff road. Then Parfitt, of Ponty- pridd, took the lead, the others trailing off. The road was very dusty, and the Oxo carnage followed close up. The officials at the start were:-Moi?ee, ConocjUor I eter Wright, Newport judges, Messrs. Ack Llewellra and F. Harris; time- keeper. Mr. R. J. -trind. medical attendant and ellolminer, Dr. Howard Davies and staff; ief mai7vhal, A. p F, Griffiths. of ?'' ??P?tors, ? stated to have had a 22 ???thon on Saturday, ah? ? th S r, Do?ando-a tim5 The ??i?. ^s i" S«utt,tt?i, ?? consideraTbfly looked' fria Ug^ he Wafi a little fellow and looked frail.. »o, a  strong run wa?9 nia-de for a mile or ?o, and at tjlat time the two ("'b, of Lla.ndebie. %nd S.panwiok. ahead, Gould, of C?ardiff, and iord, of Cleckheat,on, following together a short distance in the rear H and J, CmH were U,t of the runninf' and the first-named '"?"?' °Ut before making a serious effort.  < Oastleton 8pa,nwick led   the di4gtan(?e in 29=in. 34., and was foJ- i..? by G?M.?.Sy??c b?S.i?'?I'? iann d i iMf artwy in, wh? we%re t()gether, covering the distance in 29min. 5X* ??n?c?. who Tfa very firmly, kept the lead, followed by ?verv nr?mlv k<?? th stride. ^11^^ Butti who appeared to ?e in splendid trim, was also making a very good show, and it vU?Vtllat' although he was somewhat behmd. hW staying powers would have stood him in godd ?tead Spanwkk still kept ahead, followed closely by ChristmaB, Lord, and Gould, the last- mentioned showing marvellous progress, and seeming at T? llmtr likely to outrun his competitors At St Melon's the order was S?nwMk. n GoulL d. C? !instm?. and I^rd, the first-named having covered the distance- about six miles—in 42min. 45eec„ while the other three were in a bunch just seven seconds behind. Roberts and Harry followed, covering- the distance in 43mill. 45sec. Gould continued to show up well, and the odds were that the Cardiff man had a good chance of winning the laurels. Close on his heete came Christmas; and at Cardiff C. Gould, Christmas, and Lord led together reaching the city in 61min. 35sec. Spanwick bad fallen behind, taking 62min. 3sec to cover the ground, while Roberts andPriS took 60min, 27see. Although n- the fifth in order, the Sefton Harrier Bh<>wed himself in good fettle, and soon became the fancied man. Price, his companion at this juncture, was also a favourite, though Gould still showed up bravely, and resumed his pota- tion as second man. Roberts and Prioo now kept forging ahead. At Whitchurch the position had somewhat chang-ed, the lead being taken by Lord, fol- lowed by Gould, Christmas Roberts, and Price. iprooeeding downhill from Wbitchuroh in the direction of Castell Coch Lord had a good lead, being about a quarter of a mile ahead of his rivals, but by the time Taff, Well was reached Lord, Price, and Roberts were almost in a bunch, Christmas being the fourth man. Gooild, notwithstanding his good position up to now, fell into the rear exhausted, and had to give up, leaving the field to Lord, Roberts, and Price, who were I going splendidly, showing comparatively little signs of latigue, though the heat naturally made them perspire profusely. At Upper Boat Price, the ultimate winner, obtained the lead, cantering along past Lord at a good pace. Lord pressed on for all he was worth, Robert^ being a close follower. Prioe continued to out-distance his man, and arrived at the field at the Taff Vale Park amidst the thunderous applause of the large crowd ten minutes before the scheduled time. He had completed a lap and a half out of the four laps which the competitors had to do on the grounds before Lord made his appearance a lead which he maintained until he reached the tape, amid another prolonged outburst of cheering. Considerable excitement now prevailed, and the appearance of eaoh of the com- petitors was hailed with loud plaudits. The fine form of the competitors was indicated by the fact that Price had finished up a brilliant effort with a smart sprint. Christmas also finished up with a smart run, and evoked the plaudits of the crowd. The other of the competitors who reached the field appeared to be in inferior condition, with the exception of Teomans, who smilingly finished the course, though he was not a prize winner. The final was in the following order: H. M. S. 1.—J. Price, Small Heath 2 22 40 Z-6 2.—F. Lord, Cleckheaton 2 24 54 3.—J. Roberts. Sefton Ilai-rieTs 2 25 42 4.—B. D.

I The length of the course from Newport to Pontypridd wais 23i M,iles-plus the four laps round the field at the finish. Councillor Peter Nyright, who heartily oongra,tulated the runners and committee upon the excellent time in which the raoe was run, made the awards, the Brat, prize being valued at 25 guineas and a gold medaJ, the succeeding four winners being awarded prizes vaJued respectively at ten guineas, five guineas, three guineas, and two guineas. Mr. John, the handioapper, presented the sixth main with a special medaJ.

"FATAL PIT ACCIDENT Mr. W. L. Yorath (city coroner) held an inqueet at Cardiff to-day on the body of William Henry Cooke (20), employed as a pumpman at the Dyffryn Llantwit Colliery. Pomtypridd, who died at Cardiff Infirmary. Mr. Sant wae present for the Home Office. Mr. D. Bees (Pontypridd) appeared for Messrs. T. and J.

On March 29 deceased and Edwin Griffiths descended the Ystrad Vardre shaft, used for pumping water out of the oolliery. in a bow-k, for the puxpooc of packing one of the Puni-m. Having finished the work, deceased pulled the signal, and with the third pull he felt it giYe, and something fell down the shaft and struck deceased on the head, so thtait lie nearly [eltl out of t-he bowk. and.

The jury returned a verdict of "Aooidentad death, through injuries accidentally received," and they beiaewd that the dis- placement of the. kiaoofcer was the cause of the acardeait.

I BALLOON ASCENTS. Parachutist's Plight, | HANCING FROM TRAVELLING BALLOON I Telegraphing from Northampton. last I night, a "Daily Chronicle" correspondent s.a.id :-This evening Ca-ptain Bidmead, of Tidal Basin, London, was to have made a balloon ascent and a parachute descent here, but by an extraordinary accident his plans were frustrated, and he himself, for all we can tell, may be either in imminent danger of disaster or else already suffering from the results of his mishop. Thousands of people, among whom was his wife, who was attending one of his ascents for the fit time, had assembled to see the ascent and descent. According to the account, the parachutist's assistance was asked to lift the ring at the bottom of the parachute ropes when the slip- knot broke. Captain Bidmead tied another knot at once, but his assistant told him that he con- sidered it was not strong enough for its pur- pose. The parachutist, however, shook hands with his assistant, and the balioon at once began to rise. When only a few feet in the air the second slip-knot broke, and the para- chute fell to the ground. l Captain Bidmead, for some reason, did not I dmp to the ground, but retained his hold of the balloon, and rapidly rose with it. To the consternation of the peoph he wa.s carried higher and higher, untH he disappeared, stiH olingin? to the balloon. &> far no news has been received as to what became of him. Collier Descends with Parachute I Few people who witnessed the ascent of the balloon at the Carmarthen sports on Monday afternoon realised the faot that the pluoky person who descended with the patra- chute was a oollier named David Brazell Davies, of No. 1. Oak-terrace, LlalTh- debie. The umbrella chute opened almost the instant- it was deta.ched from the balloon, and the descent was slow, the parachutist alighting on Gwgwyn Marsh, in the parish of Ilang-Linnor. AVhen approached by those who saw him touch terra firma he admitted it was his first experience, and that it wa., a delightful one. He said he felt all right, and coolly lit a cigarette. Those in the car of tho balloon were Messrs. Spencer Brothers and Mr. A. I. Jones, architect, Carnarvon. It is stated that the balloon was last seen in the neighbourhood of Pencader. The plucky colllier, who is a married man, with a wifeand four children, is a teetotaler, and, although he felt are what illervous when he was about to make the plunge in the chute, still he so-on lost that feelirug, and he told our representative that it was a deffiigihtfuil trip, and he hoped he would haive another opportunity of making a descent. Spencer Brothers dad not realise that re meant to go through with it until he had himself fixed firmly to the um/breilla. Descent at Rhayader. At ten o'clock last night Messrs. Spencer Bros. and Mr. Jone9 descended about two miles north Qf Rhayader. Earlier in the evening the balloon could be seen travelling across the sky, and the glare of the setting sun made it ap-pear like a, ball of fire. Intense excitement prelvail.e,d throughout the distriot when the strange object made ite appearance, and the descent was witnessed by a large crowd. In a conversation one of the brothers stated that they bad had an excellent journey, but over the roughest- country they had ever travelled.

Temperance Drinks CONTAIN MORE ALCOHOL THAN BEER Teetotalers should beware of the hidden dangers lurking in "teW>erance" drinks. They should be warned by the experience of a maji who was charged at Lambeth yester- day with being incapably dru-nk, and pleaded that he had only consumed elderberry wine. I had three glasses of elderberry wine, a thing I had never had before in my life," he told the magistrate, Mr. Hopkins. He explained its effect upon him. it overcame me, and I lost my feet and had to be carried. I am not a drwnkard, sir. I belong to the Churcih of England Temperance Socie ty. I do not know," commented Mr. Hopkina, what kind of a head you have got if three glasses of elderberry wine got into it." Well, it did, sir," the prisoner assured the magistrate, "and I fell down over it." He was. discharged. A well-known doctor, to whom the facts of this ca.s.e were explained by prests represen- tative, declared that so-called temperance drinks had brought about the downfall of many people. In the present case," he went on, "the n'nfortunate teetotaler who was charged with being drunk imagined that elderberry wine wa* a temperance beverage. Judging by the surprise he expressed, the magistrate also shared that opinion; and thousands of other people think the same. "Of course, elderberry wine is highly iu- toxicating. So is ginger wine, rffubarb wine, dandelion stout, and many other drinks to I which the adjective temperance' is wrongly applied. I have here some statistics which were supplied to the House I of Commons some months ago by the 1 ChanceHor of the Exchequer. They how that out of a total of. 4,147 samples of herb beer and other pumilar 'temperanoe' drinks submitted for analysis 464 contained 3 per cent. or more of prdof spirit. "It was found that samples of ginger beer, herb beer, and dandelion stout contained an average of nearly 10 per oent. of proof spirit, or considerably more than light. bc,t7tl?d8 which averages just over 8 per cent. of proof spirit."

A SUPPRESSED LETTER I The Irish Homestead" prints the gub- joined letter, which WAS addressed by Mr. Roosevelt, three days before he ceased to be President of the United States, to the Right Hon. James Bryce, his Majesty's Ambassador at Washington. The letter is dated from the White House, Washington, March 2, 1909:— Dear Mr. Bryce,—You have, I know, fol- lowed with keen interest the work of the Country Life Commission, which has pointed the way, W3 I think, to a better handling of country problems and a more satisfying life on the farms. But I do not know how far you are acquainted with the origin of the movement in the United States. Of course, I have been interested for many years in farm life, and especially .in the tasks and troubles of the women on the farm. But my interest did not reach the point of action until I began to follow what was being accomplished through the farmers' oo-operative movement in Ireland. My old friend, Horace Plunkett, whom I S3.W on his periodical journeys to America, kept me informed of the Irish agricultural situation, and of the movement for better laying on the farms in Ireland. We Ameri- cans owe much to Ireland and to Plunkett in the work we have been trying to do in the United States, and before I leave the Presidency I want to acknowledge atirde)A and to send, through you, my thanks for the help we have had; and not only my thanks, but the thanks of every man who knows what has been done, and sees the ineed, and the sure results, of this great movement to help the men and women who feed the natio-n and stand at the foundation of its greatness and its progress.-Smoorely yours, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The editor of the "Irish Homestead" has taken Mr. Roosevelt's letter from a well- known American paper, "Wallace's Parmer." The letter is now published for the first time in the United Kingdom. It was apparently suppressed by his Majesty's Government, who, as we learn on inquiry (says the "Irish Times"), did not even communicate ita contents to Sir Horace Plunkett.

Swansea Bay Regatta -—— —— EXCITING INCIDENTS ON SECOND DAY The Swansea Bay and Bristol Channel Regatta was continued on Whit-Monday, when the centre of interest shifted from Swansea to the Mumbles. The races, with the exception of the yacht and trawler races, were chiefly of local interest. The weather was beautifully fine during too afternoon, but the wind was much lighter than on Saturday, and the sailing was slow. The chief races had to be shortened. In the yacht mce the Bloodhound again won a popular victory, the way in which this boat still beats modern craft being a surprise and a. theme of adniiration to many yachtsmen. She got oil badly at the start, but at the end of the first round had a wonderful slice of luck. Her ri-val had got a good lead, but going out leeward beyond Mumbles Head got a bad patch of calm. Meanwhile the Blood- hound got wind in the bay, and, hugging the sihore, turned the tables on her unlucky rival, and kept the lead to the end. Extra race for trawlers, prizes JE16. £ 10, £ 7, and L5, and £2 to each other boat finishing. Th<^ course was 26 miles; five competed. The trawlers were late starting, and the course was reduced to thirteen milee. The wind was southerly, and the boats had a slow beat out to Oysterledge Buoy. The wind shifted to westerly afterwards, but subsequently fell lighter, and the boats were lining up near Port Talbot for a considerable time. To- wards two o'clock a nice westerly breeze sprang up, light, but of sufficient strength to bring the boats home in fair time. The result was:- H. Min. Sec. 1. Relianoe 3 41 6 2.

Three boats I ran, the Grouper, who also entered, being neaped off Ilfracombe. Just as the Blood- hound was going for the line, passing cloee under the st-efrn of the committee boat. a tug- boat placed herself on her weather aidc- amd proceeded to .team down the line. At the same tim^ a steam yacht which had pre- viously received orders to get under way, mot seeing the Bloodhound, began to move ahead, and almost collided with her on the lee side. Fortunately, the master of the steam yacht, seeing his error in time, was able to go astern and avoid colliding, but these incidents hampered the Bloodibound considerably, and she crossed the line lmin. 35sec. later. All the yachts started trader jaekyarders. It was a beat out against the wind to Oysterledge Buoy. From there Carina had a long leaxl to Port Talbot. Before com- pleting the first round, however, the wind fell very light. The times for the round were: II. Min. Sec- Ca.rina, 1 40 57 Bloodhound 1 48 0 1 Joyce 2 3 4 After comipletwig this round, and when some distanc.e off the committee boat, the yachts struck a calm patch, and were hang up a considerable time. There was evidently more wind in the bay than outside. Even- tually they found a breeze, and got on, but Bloodhound had got the wind before Carina, and took the lead splendidly. U. Min. S,- Winner: Bloodhotmd.. 5 34 &9 2nd, Carina 5 59 9 Joyce was considerably later, and her time was not taken.

MERTHYR SPORTS. Pine weat,her prevailed at Merthyr, and the public spirited enterprise of Mr. Israel Price, of the Temperance-hall, in organising a fete and gala and sports in Penydarren Park was well rewarded by an attendance of about 8,000 people. The programme was a most attractive one. The principal item in the day's proceedings was a 140 yards open handioap, in which the prizes offered amounted to £ 50. Only the preliminary heats were run, the semi-finals and final being left over until to-day. The other events decided res-nlted as follows: — Novice Race.—1st, H. Howells, Redlinog (20yds); 2nd, A.

Lord Tredegar's Gift. I Lord T redgar's Gift.  zC5,000 FOR CARDIFF. COLLECE If e learn uia-t viscouilt Tredegar Has inti- mated his intention of making a further con- tribution of £ 5,000 to the fund for the new buildings of the South Wales and Monmouth- shire University College in Cathays Park, Cardiff. When the new college fund was started a few years ago his lordship was one of the first to oome forward, and he made a contribution of £ 5,000. With the additional contribution, therefore, his lordship's dona- tion to the building fund reaches the magni- ficent sum of £ 10,000. It is to be hoped that this princely assist- ance will enable the authorities to more rapidly collect the money that is needed in order to open the new buildings free from debt. In order to achieve this, it was esti- mated that a sum of L35,000 would bq required. As the opening of the new build- ings is not now far distant, we trust Lord Tredegar's splendid example will stimulate other donors.

CARMARTHEN SPORTS In spite ox counter-attractions in neigh- bouring towns, large crowd.- were attracted to the athletic festival and championship meeting at Carmarthen on Whit-Monday. thoug"h the attendance was not so large as Oil previous holidays. There were ehowers during the morning, but towards iioon the conditions became more favourable, and the afternoon was beautifully fine, but the crobs wind militated against very fast racing. A very interesting programme had been arranged, and. judging by the number of entries, the West Wales athletic festival still holds an hamomre 1 place. Clhief interest centred in the Welsh amateur quarter-mile and one mile championships, some of the best competitors in South Wales figuring in the entry list. Bert Andrews rode for the quarter-mile championship, which was held by T. P. Lockner, of Newport, and Chajias Baker also put in an anoo. There were, in addition, very JraitAnig foot racing contests, the oomteetanu, includ- ing some of the best kno-wil runners in the di9trict. During the afternoon the racing was inter- spersed wrth variety performances by Messrs. Aerian aaid Ostara, who exhibited their prowess on the flying trapeze, and the> £ Fhree Hodginis, the clever aerial gymnasts. An attractive event was the right-away balloon ascent, with passengers, which was followed by a thrilling parachute descent. Mor- gan s Cwnrtawe Prize Silver Band rendered fceleotions during the day. The indefatigable secretary was Mr. J. C. H. Portiiell, who performed his laboui-s to the satisfaction of all. Tiie following were the other club oiffcials:—Handicapper (cycling), Mr. R. J. Brind. N.C.TL, Cardiff; judges (foot). Mr. J. Air. H. E. Blagdon-Puchards, Mr. H^Branel White, Mr E. V. Collier, and Mr. H. S, Holmes; cycling (official N.C.U.), Mr. A. J. Jones, Mr. Herbert W. Davies.
