Little Girl's Prayer I TOUCHING SCENES IN THE SCHOOL It is oraly due to the teachers at the school that credit should be given to them for avert- ing a death-roll which would have been appalling in its extent. Miss M. H. Williams ] and Mies M. Harris, the headmistress respec- tively of the infants and girls' departments, speak of thrilling experiences undergone. Miss Harris was the first of the two to realise the perilous position, as she happened to be outside and saw the water rushing down. She thereupon closed the door to aCt as a break to the onrush, and, running into the school, counselled the junior teachers to keep calm, directing them to stand by their classes and assuring them that th.eir lives would not be endangered. Miss Williams was in the adjoining school, and at first thought that the great rumbling noise outside was that of a traction engine, but she was soon disillusioned by Mr. R. R. Williams, the headmaster of the school, who throughout dispLayed the greatest resourceful- ness and bravery. The heads of the. staff then concentrated tbedr efforts upon devising means of escape and preventing a panic among the pupils. It was not long before it was realised that to remain in the building would reeult in & great loss of life, and as the torrents dashed into the school and the water was rapidly rising, the most touching scenes were wit- nessed. The children looked upon the teachers as their saviours, and wistfully looked into, oux faces as they appealed to be saved, while others clung to ;rae for their very lives. One little girl got on her knees in the water and prayed earnestly, 'Oh, God, save us.' What added to the agony of the situation was that the teachers now fully realised that in the absence of outside help it was utterly futile to attempt to save the little ones. For- tunately, a band of colliers came on the scene, and then without a moment's 1086 fiil with the exception of four were saved. Miss WilMazms in her interview added that help came none too soon. The water had now risen to such a height that the school furniture was floating about, so that if the children hard been placed on the desks these Would have beem upset and the little ones Denshed. Baby Afloat in a Cradle I Xmnnp tb6 inckieirte seconded is that of a tr fcoatoc a II sort of boat for about 300 yards down a pr&- cipitous declivity, and was rescued unscathed. Dr. T. L. Morgan meantioms a peculiar inoi- dent. A collier in Adam-etreert was about to have a. wash, and be himself, in a half- dreesed state in his bath, was hurled out into the street. I Brave Collier's Ordeal I Arthur James, a collier, gives an exciting narrative of his experiences in attempting to save the life of the little child Brimble. Mr. James, by means of a ladder, had helped in getting one family in Adam-street into safety, and then went to Mr. Brimble's house. The ba.by was handed to him, but to his consternation the current carried away the ladder, and he and the little child were precipitated into the surging torrent. Away they were carried a,t a great rate. "I clung to the little one with all my might," Tefmarked Mr. James, "as I was determined to save it. I was hurled in all directions, but by-and-bye I was struck with terrific force, with the result that I became practi- cably insensible, and while in this plight I lost the child. I went under, and was within a.n ace of being drowned when help came." The child was found about 200 or 300 yards away. It was then alive, and Dr. Gabe Jones applied artificial rea pi ration, but, notwith- standing ail efforts, it succuan/bed. Ownership of the Level To the Editor of the "Erondng Express."

Master <& MatronWedded 1 NEWPORT WORKHOUSE ROMANCE I Mr. T. Dutfleid presided at to-day's meet- mg the Newport Board of Guardians. The number of tramps dealt with during the past fortnight was reported to be 591, as com- pared with 808 in the corresponding period of last year. The romance of a. workhouse wedding was reported by the visiting committee. It was on record that the master (Gaptatin Evan Davies) and the matron (Miss Williams) were married on Friday. The master, who was present at the meeting of the committee, was neartiiy congratulated on trie happy event. It was resolved that Mr. and Mrs. Darie6 be granted a week's holiday. Mr. A. J. Stevens, the chairman of the committee, in bringing up the report, said no one wae taiiea more by surprise than himself when he heand what had taken place. He went into the workhouse ae usual about none o'clock on Friday morning (March 11) and found the master at his duties as usual. Later on, after they had finished their busi- ness, the master told him that he had been married that morning. He (the speaker) could not quite understand how the courting was carried on without being seen by any- one, unless it was by means of the phone, and,, then the wires must have had a very warm time. But the marriage of two trncll exceltiewt officials, whom they all respected, would receive the warmest con- gratulations of the guardians—(hear, hear)— and the beet wishes for the future happiness of both Mr. and MJrn. Diavies. (Hear, hear.¡ With reference to the question of the filling up the clerkship (rendered vacant by the death of Mr. Ithel Thomas), there were several reports as to what should be the salaries and duties of the various offices. The committee recommended that the same pernor; shoudd be clerk to the guardians, olerk to the assessment committee, a.n.d clerk also to the St. Melton's Rural District Council &nd the Magor Rural District Council. The Chairman said the intention was to make up a salary of at leaat L400 a year. An amendment to spdit top the various offioee, proposed by Mr. John Dareies (Aber- eaura) was only supported by six guardians, a.n'd wasdedoaaed by a large majority. The report of the committee was adopted, the vacancy to ibe advertised, and the oam- mittee to make a short list of six applicants.

A.S.R.S. FINANCES The Amalgamated Society of Railway Ser- vants' Execeutive, at its meeting next week. wfll have. to face the question of how to raise the money required to pay back to the Labour PArty the borrowed for the election expenses of Messrs. Hudson, War die, and Thomas, in Newcastle, Stockport, and Derby (says the London correspondent of the "York- shire Post"). The candidates gave a guaran- tee that what they were enabled to borrow from the Labour party should be paid back. The amount raised so far from voluntary con- tributions is not large, and the A.S.R.S. has been precluded from handing over to the Labour party the sums previously raised I. y levy. It appea-ra that about £ 2,000 a year ia needed, and how to get it is a, difficult prob- lem. At the same meeting the election of a secretary in place of Mr. R. Bell will be con- sidered, and the ballot arranged for. There axe numerous nominations for the position, which is bodng filled temporarily by Mr. Wil- liams, the assistant secretary. He is one can- didate, and so are Mr. Hudson, M.P.. and several other prominent members of the Union.

THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE The illness from which the Lord Chief Jus- tice is suffering is proving rather obstinate. and it is not improbable that he will have to resign his position on the bench (says the London correspondent of the Liverpool Post").

YOUTH BADLY MUTILATED I A shocking fa-tality oemrred at Abertillery I to-da.y. A youth, named Albert Jones, a eighteen, who was employed as a haulage engine-driver at the Penybont Pit, by some means was caught in the winding-rope and was badly mutilated. Dr. M'Kenzie was called, but death had bee nalmost instantaneous. The unfortunate lad resided with his parents at York-street, to where his body was removed.

DIED AFTER CUT THROAT I The death took place this morning at the Tow nAccident Hospital, Barry Dock, of Wil- liam Flair (63), a labourer, who lodged in Queen-street, Barry. Deceased was admitted into the hospital on Tuesday, having cut his throat in an outhouse at Bury. He had been unwell and strange in his manner for some time. An inquest will be held.

WHY NOT ENCOURAGE SOCCER? To the Editor of the Evening Express." Sir,-Referring to Monday's Soccer Inter- | national, several who are not over-burdened with this wood's goods have request? me to inquire through the medium of your valuable paper whether the policy adopted by the Welsh Association is a wise one in making a charge of is. for admission to the field. My opinion, whioh is confirmed by others, is that a popular charge of 6d. should be made with the new of fostering the Soccer code in South Wades. I venture to think it can be token for granted that three times the giate will be obtained by a charge of 6d. And, further, why should not the younger generation be admitted at half price?—I am, &c..

"WITHIN THREE MONTHS." I Sir Alexander Acland-Hood, the Chief Unionist Whip, speaking to a large meeting of his constituents at Wellington last night, eaid I am very much afraid I shaJl have to ask you to get to work again very soon, because we shall have another election, in my opinion, within the next three months. I am very sorry for you, but I am even more sorry for myself.

DELINQUENCIES OF WELSH M.Ps The attendance of the Welsh members on recent divisions leaves much to be desired (says the London correspondent of the "Man- chester Guardian"). When Mr. F. E. Smith last night challenged the education vote less than a dozen of the representatives of WaJes found their way into the Ministerial lobby, altihough the division taken at the com- fortable hour of nine o'clock. As the Master of Elibank has been pointing out, this ie not the time to neglect divisions. For next week Mr. Haydn Jones1, I understand, has paired in order to attend to his duties on the Merionethshire Ooowvty Council. Many professional members are necessarily absent on oiroudt work.

Glamorgan Assizes I The Glamorgan Assises were continued at I Cardiff to-day, the Criminal Court being I token by Ur. Justice Coleridge. Ten Months for Forgery I David John Griffiths (33), haulier, of Porth, was indicted for forging a reoeipt for L2 6s. Sd. by William Groves with intent to defraud the Bristol. West of England, end South Wales Operatives' Society on July 3. There was a second indictment for forging a receipt for £4 4s. by Gwenydd Williams with intent to defraud the same society. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and Lord Coleridge, in passing sentence of ten months' hafd labour, said it was a most serious charge to defraud an excellent institution like the society concerned, and it yas well that an example should be made lest others placed in a similar position of trust should perpetrate frauds of that kind on their brethren, who worked hard to put their savings in such societies. Merthyr Theft Charge I Joseph Cox (33), a coiiier, who pleaded guilty to 6toaling two pairs of boots, the pro- perty of George Oliver, at Merthyr, on Feb- ruary 19, was sentenced to four months' imprisonment, with hard labour. I Gentlemanly, But Effective 1 John Perry (35), Enoch Davies (29), labourtrs, Jenkin Lewis (24), fireman, and Alice John (34) were charged with robbery wd'tih violence fiom Emrys Harris and Lewis Ford at Ponty- pridd on October 28. It was alleged that the rob-bery was oommitted at night an the Tjiamroad, at Pontypridd, after Ford and Harris had bten struck down from behind. Mr. St. John Francis Williams, who ap- peared to prosecute, said a remarkable feature of the oase was the instrument used --a sandbag. Counsel added. "This -is a more gentlemanly kind of weapon than is usually used, because, while its work is quite as effective, it does not interfere with the per- sonal appeatrance of the victim." The jury found all the prisoners guilty. There was a further indictment against Perry for being an habitual criminal, Upolll which he was also found guilty. All you persons are unfit to be at large in a. civilised country," said Lord Coleridge, in passing sentence. "And," he added, with I deliberation, I shall take cam that you won't be at. large for some time to come." Davies, I jewie-, and John were sentenced to three years' penal servitude, and Perry to throe years and preventive detentilon for a further period of five years.

WELSH CHURCH REPORT j The most. disconcerting feature of the situa- tion in connection with the Welsh Church Commiaeaon (says the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian ") is that, even if the report is ado-ptoed and signed, the public will not be in a, position to judge of the whole work of the Commisgion for another six or eight months, for a vast mass of statistical and other information must receive easeful oollation and revision before it can be finally printed, and the mere mechanical labour alone will occupy the time I have mentioned. Whether the report, when signed, yill be published before the appen- dices referred to are ready I am not in a position to say, but I am told on good authority that Chairman of the Commission favours that course, and there does not afppear to be any special reason why the report should be delayed, although it must <n some measure stand or fall by the special information supplied in the additional volumes.

To-night's Glove Fight I PETERS AND KINCSLAND WEICH-IN The weighing-n ceremony for to-night's great glove fight at Mountain Ash was per- formed at the "Evening Express" office this afternoon, when Dave Peters and his oppo- nent, Jack ingsland (London) stepped oil a scales of perfect design, kindly lent by Yessm. W. and T. Avery, of Birmigham; whose Cardiff bracnh is on Th Hayes. The artcles which the men had signed stipulated that they should fight for £ 50 a-si-de and 50 per cent, of the gate receipts, and it was also set forth that the weight should be list. 61b. When Kings]-and. who came with Wally Morgan, his trainer, stepped on the machine he barely pulled the weight, and, strange to say, there was scarcely half an ounce between them. May the best man win," said Kingsland, grasping his rival's hand, and Peters, who had Jack Bandy Davies with him, cordially reciprocated the wish.

A DEAL IN BOOKS MISREPRESENTATION ALLEGED Cardiff Friends at Law MR. AUSTIN JENKINS SUED Company Promotion Story Before Mr. Justice Piokford and a special jury at the Glamorgan Aeeiaes at Cardiff to- day, a oase was lieer-d in which the Principal lity Educational Depot Ooonpany (Limited) sued J. Austin Jenkins and his wife, Alice Constance Jenkins, and Thomas Cadwal Davies for damages for alleged misrepresentation. Counsel for the plaintiffs were Mr. Abel Thomas, K.C., MJ?„ and Mr. Lincoln Reed (instructed by Messrs. Lloyd and Pratt, Oar- diff), whilst on the other side there appeared for Mr. John Austin Jenkins, Mr. B Francis-Williams, K.C., and Mr. Ivor Bowen, and for Mrs. Jenkins and Thomas Cadwal Davies, Mr. John Sa-nkey, X.C., and Mr. Ivor Bowen (instructed by Messrs. George David and Evans). Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins reside at 274, Newport-road, and Mr. Thomas Cadwal Davies at 3-5, Btmthnairn-street, Cardiff. Plain-tiffs claimed. JE500 damages. Mr. Lincoln Reed explained that the pro- ceedings were in connection with the sale of a business. Defendants denied the alleged misrepresentation, end said the business was only purchased after full investigation. There was a counter-claim by Mrs. Jenkins for L25, balance of purchase money, and a further counter-claim by Mr. J. Austin Jenkins for the detent-i-on of some books. Mr. Abel Thomas, in opening, said plain- tiffs sued for damages for false representa- tion in regard to the sale of a business, called the Empire Book Depot, in Frederick-street, in 1908. Personally (said learned counsel) he was sorry to have to open the cc.se, for the allegation of the plaintiffs was that Mr. Austin Jenkins, the registrar of the Univer- sity College, had been guilty of false repre- sentation in selling the business to them, &nd if even half of what they alleged was true it wae perfectly certain that Mr. Jenkins made false statement after false statement, and these statements he must have known to have been untrue. The plaintiffs were a. limited liability com- pany carrying on business in Station-terrace, Cardiff, and the directors consisted of men who were friends of Yr. Austin Jenkins, some of them life-long friends. The directors of the plaintiff company included Principal Edwards, of the Baptist College, Mr. W. T. Lee, and other gentlemen, while Mr. Austin Jenkins was himself a considerable share- holder. He (counsel) admitted that his clients bad not acted as business men, but had trusted Mr. Jenkins absolutely. Titare were three defendants, but it was clear that the real person running the Empire Book Depot was not Mrs. Jenkins ox the other defendant, but was Mr. Austin Jeakin-a hun- eeif. The Alleged Misrepresentation I The Empire Book Depot was started early in 1905 by a man, nam-ed FAggw, with JE90, lent him at 10 per cent. by Mr. Austin Jen- kins. Subsequently this business was found not to pay, and Mr. Jenkins took over the business, taking the etook-in-trade in settle- ment of his £90 in the beginning of 1906. Mr. Jenkins afterward* told the Principality Educational Depot that the Empire Book Dopot was a prosperous, valuable business, but he would be able to show that the busi- ness a failing business; it was s'oon obvious it could never pay. The plaintiff company had since seen the books, which showed tha.t du.ri<ng the jtrst year, after Mr. Jenkins'took it over, there was a leas of and during the second year £ 28. In May, 1906, Mr. Jenkins seamed to tmnk it was time to float tbas wonderful company as a. limited company with £ 2,COO worth of shares. In that month Mx. Jenkins wrote a letter to Mr. W. T. Lee stating that the Empire Book Depot was a prosperous business, and strongly advising Mr. Lee tØ BOOUTO the financial support of others interested in taking the business of the Principality- Counsel proceeded to renew the negotiations carried on by Mr. Jenkins for the taking over of the Empire Book Depot During these negotiations Mr. Austin Jenkins represented that the profits on the bueanees were 90 per cent, on the turnover, and he told them that for the six months ending June, 1908, there was a profit of X29, whereas there a considerable lose on the trading for that period. At one of the meetings with the directors of the Principality itr. Jenkins, who was very anxious to complete I the negotiations, bluffed the diroo by say- ing that if they wanted the Empire Depot they must act a.t once, because he had friends who were prepared to advance him 1,750. lie had previously made the communication to the directors that the Empire Depot, if they did not secure it, was likely to become a very serious business rival. Mr. Jenkins also isaid, remarked oounsel, tha,t among the 100,090 volumes at the Frederick-etreet depot there were many rare first edations. Eventually the plaintiffs agreed to P-Vy £ 620 in cash and shares for the good- will, istock-in-trade, Ac. The upshot of it all was that after taking over the business they found it a failing concern. The result to ths Principality Depot was that instead of paying 5 per cent. or 5i, as they had done, the Empire Depot swallowed up the profits, and they had to close in December of last year. Anonymous Postcard The Rev. William Thomas Lee, called by Mr. Lincoln Reed, said he had known Mr. Jerkins for fifteen years. The relationship had been one of great friendship. Asked if it was a profitable business, Mr. Jenkins assured him it was, and upon witness show- ing him an unsigned postcard he had re- ceived advising him to have Dothing to 00 with the Empire Depot, as it was in a bank. rupt staite," he (Mr. Jenkins) said, If I were to take notice of such things as this I should be always in hot water." He added that the postcard was evidently from one who didn't want him (witness) to have the business. Subsequently, when they found the real nature of the creed, they held a meeting, and witness wias deputed to see Mr. Austin Jenkins, which he did, and told him they felt they ha.d been badly had." Mr. Jenkins said, If what you say is true I am not fit to be in my position." Witness repeated, I only tell you we have been badly had." Mr. Jenkins offered E100 worth of shares, which was refused by the directors. Company Promotion Mr. B. Francis-Williams: What are you?- A lecturer for the Christian Evidence Society. Have you had anything to do with company promoting P—Yes. In connection with Mr. Richard Cory with one or two little companies?—Yes. You are not altogether a "chicken" in business?—I hope not. Where do you lecture?-All over the country. Do you promote companies all over the country?—No. In reference to a company at Plymouth, witness denied absolutely that an allegation was ma-de against him at a meeting in Mr Gory's house that iia sold stua-ras at a time he knew the company to he insolvent. It was a fact he promoted the cabinet-making com- pany in Canton, which was wound-up. Did you promote a money-lending society called the South Wales Equitable Society?-I a<cted with the promoter. Was Mr. Richard Cory in it?-He was present. A money-lending society ?—Y«6. His Lordship asked if PrinciPaJ. Edwards was principal of the college of which Mr. Jenkins waa registrar. Mr. B. Francis-Williams: Oh, no, my lord. They are all principals or, if not, professors —(laughter)—and they are all Doctors of Divinity. (Renewed laughter.) Mr. B. Francis-Williams (to witness): You have never heard of any suspicion at wrong attaching to Mr. Austin Jenkins before this? —I have never heard of it. Mr. B. Franciii-Williame: And t-hat is the man you charge with fraudulent misrepre- sentation. Answering further questions, witness said he did not suggest anything in the nature of collusion or fraud in connection with the valuation. At this stage, the comrt adjourned mtitil 10,30 on Monday morning. CAUSE liST-Monday I The Principalirty Educational Depot Com- I pany (Limited) v. Jerukins and wife and ajMxtfcer (part heard).

DR. MILWARD EXPLAINS In Letter to Guardians SEQUEL TO INQUEST FINDING Dr. W. 0. Millward, district medical officer, wrote to the Cardiff Board of Guardians this afternoon regarding his action conoerming the deaths of Herbert Sanson, aged two months, and Mary Ann Evans (52), when, it will be remembered, the coroner's jury censured him and the relieving officer (Mr. Williams) under circumstances already reported. After stating that he was entirely blame- less, Dr. Miliward explained that Herbert Ransan, the illegitimate son of a domestic servant, was brought to his surgery on December 4 by its foster-mother, and was treated for bronchial catarrh The next he saw of the child was about 4.40 (ID the 13th, when the child was bcmmgb-t to him with a new order --althou-gh the original one was still in force -tbis order having just been obtained from the relieviw officer by the mother, and it was not marked urgent." He suggested thait the child should be brought to him at the usuai time, and this suggestion was promptly &nd wallingily accepted at the tame, although he heard nothing more from them until after the little one wias dead. Dir. Millward emphasised the fact that there was never a suggestion of urgency, and be did not refuse 'to see the child. The rules for atterrdanco were made by the Locail Government Board and the guardians, and unless he was instructed that these rules were made to be broken he would conform to work under them, amd not to devote his time to the careless at the expense of tha deserving. "Power of Joshua. I On this the Local Government Board can I say nothing stronger than that it was very unfortunate that I did not examine the child. It is about as pertinent to say it is very unfortunate that I have not the power of Joshua to prolong the day when it is too short for the accomplishment of the work thereof." On December 20 Mrs. Tinsley, keeper of a lodging-house (proceeded the doctor), obtained an order for attendance on Mary Ann Evans, a servant of hers, at 10.35 a.m. This was forwarded to his house just before one o'clock. It was endorsed by the relieving officer, "Urgent" and "For house." He saw the order on his arrival home about 2.40, and visited the case about 3X1. He gave an order for admission to the workhouse, endorsed, "Please admit as urgent without waiting for relieving officer's order," an<l also, "Carriage necessary." He advised immediate removal. There his connection with the case ceased absolutely. The wonnan was not removed on his order, but an attempt was, he understood, made to get another person altdg-ethar m' the house on it. "Thanks The Woman is Dead." He heard nothing more of the caæ until seven o'clock on the vening of the =?- over 48 hours later—when a boy was sent from the house to ask him to send a convey- ajuoe for the patient's removal. He was not -a*kod to Sife her. lie had no power, of course, to supply a conveyance, and refused accordingily. In a very few minutes the boy returned witih the "Mrs Tinsley nays thanks very much; the woman's doorl" On the following morning he ref-used a certificate on the grounds thait he was not in attendance on the patient when she died, and because it seemed to him there tiad been gross negligieuK-e on the part of aoaneone in leaving a. eying woman unat- tended and uiiremo-ved to the workhouse. He told the meseeinger who sorght the cer- tificate that if no doctor had seesi the woman sines his visit, the police should be informed. "In this case the jury found my conduct repaiehenaible! Why? For not doing two thongs, neither of which was there amy sort of obligation upon me to do. Ii) For not notifying the caroiwir that I could not certify. (2) For not going to see the case when the boy asked for a mLb Not only did the ooroner accept this rider in the face of his remonstrance, but strongly invited it in his summing up. Why, he (the doctor) could not tell them. Hopeless Task." I Dr. Mil-wara explailned that it was no part of his dilty to secure a conveyance.

Dr. Milward complained that he had been denied a thorough investigation, and con- cluded: I cannot think you will refuse due weight to my version 01 the matter, which, if it does no more, must at least show to be utterly unjustifiable, the damaging insinua- I tion publicly made in this room that this might almost prove to be a matter for a criminal charge." After a short discussion, it wtas resolved, on the suggestion of the chairman (Mr. 0. j H. Jones) to allow the matter to rest where it was.

THE 25th MATCH -0 IRELAND v WALES T0-DAr8 DUBLIN CONTEST By FORWARD.' More leeks and daffodils than sprays of shamrock were seen in Dublin to-day, 2,000; Welsh enthusiasts haying crossed the Irish, Sea overnight to see the twenty-fifth ma.tch between Ireland and Wales on the Laos- j downe-road Ground. The citizens of the Irish capital stared in amazement at the Cymric invaders as they strolled leisurely through Saokville-street, brandishing leeks as big as Irish shillelaghs, and they must have wondered how it were possible for football enthusiasm to be of a sufficient motive power to carry so many people from one country to another simply to see a football match. That there is a moral in such enthusiasm is only too obvious, and, however divided opinions may be as to the whoiesomeness of that moral, it cannot be questioned that Rugby football hae gripped Wales more tham any other country in the world, with the possible exception of New Zealand, where the style of play has been modelled on purely Welsh lines. Past Matches The story of past matches between Wales and Ireland is a familiar one to most people who take anything more than a casual inte- rest in the game, and there axe very few schoolboys in Wales who have gone beyond the fourth standard who do not know that of the 24 matches already played Wales has won fifteen against Ireland's eight, and, that the other gaane was drawn. Out of the fifteen victories only two have been won in Dublin, and, strangely enough, one of the two was that gainod in the first match which was played between the two oountraes 28 years ago. It is a long time to look back upon, but it made one feci quite young to hear the veteran but ever youthful W. D. Phillips a few hours ago telling the story of his experi- ence in that first match. He was th eonly member of the party who had any recollec- tion of the game. and he is one of the men comneoted with Welsh football to-day, either directly or indirectly, who played in that match. It seems one of the phenomena of football that within a comparatively brief space after the end of their playing careers most players disappear altogether, and, if not forgotten, are never seen even on the football field. Twenty-eight years is a long time, from the football standpoint, but eight years seems but a little span, and yet it is a fact that not one player in the Welsh team to-day took part in the glorious victory won by Wales on the Lanadowne-road Ground eight years ago. In fact, Percy Bush is the only man in to-day's Welsh team who played against New Zealand in the historic battle on the Cardiff Arms Park a little more than four years ago Thus, it will be seen, how quickly time causes syeeping changes in the personnel of the national fifteen. Interest in the Match It is not reaJly easy to explain the reason, but the interest taken in to-day's match is greater than has been the case in regard to to any Wales v. Ireland match in Ireland for a, good many years. A probable explanation is that the form of the four countries this season has been so uneven as to stimu- late additional interest in to-day's encounter, for it was possible that the result would place Wales at the top of the tree once again, or. at all events, would be braoket.ed equal to Scotland and England; or, on the other hand, would be on4y next to Ireland at the bottom of the last. Curiously enough, too, however badly Ire- land may play against the other countries, it ÎI5 never any indication as to how they will play against Wales, as was very painfully demonstrated in 1906. In that season Wales had beaten New Zeatkuid, England, amd Scotland, and a. smb. ..ta;n.tial nd eausy victory was expected over Ireland, but when it came to the test at Belfast, Wales were beaten, smashed, and pulverised, the whole team cracking up unaccountably. There has been other occa- aions, wheal those aamarrog Irish forwards have upset the calculations of all tihe critics, and for their dare-devil Hamh has often carried them through the most herooc oppo. sition. Spiller's Comrades I It wa.s a tribute to W. Spiller's popularity I among his comrades in the G-laimorgan Police oree -that a few score of them attended the match. In common > wfeth a, couple of thoueand of civilian Welshmen, the men in blue were fortunate in finding publit favoured with glorious weather, the &un shining with a bright and genial warmth, which gladdened every heart. Dublin is a city of scenes and vicissitudes. Never was there a parallel witnessed to the eoancs of to-da.y in which Welshmen held a monopoly of public interest. Forming them- selves into groups, they paraded up and down the main thoroughfares of the capital, singing merrily and moving it more than obvious that they were men of only one nationality. Not only did they make the streets lively, but invaded everywhere, and there was more Welsh spoken in Dublin to-day than there has been of Irish for many a year. It was a notioable feature as an emblean- xnatic innovation that a large percentage of the Welshmen sported the daffodil in prefer- ence to the leek, and indications point to the ultimate triumph of a pretty flower over & pungent vegetable as the national symbol. Welshmen Fit and Well I During the morning the Welsh players rested themselves, and neglected nothing in the way of reserving their strength and hus- banding their resoorces for the great struggle that lay before them. Every man reported himself fit and well, and not a single change was found necessary either in the Welsh team or in the Irish brigade. The I-rish recruit, in whom the greatest interest was centred, woe C. T. O'Caliaghan, and and it is only natural that everybody would like to know his position in the three- quarter line and who played against him. O'Callaghan is a young man who has scored 51 tries this season, and to-day he played on the right wing against J. L. Williama. the Cardiff captain, while Thompson, on the left wing, was opposed to R. A. Gibbs, the skipper of the Welsh team. PLAN OF THE FIELD. I IRELAND. I WALES. i I WALES. I Half-time score: G. T. Pte. IRELAND 0 1 3 WALES .u. 0 0 0

ENGLAND V WALES AT CARDIFF f By "SPOKES." The Befwmth annual encounter between the boys of England and Wales took place a-t the Cardiff Arms Park to-day. The English boys had arrived overnight, and bad been housed by Cardiff citizens, whilst the Welsh beys assembled at noon at headquarters—the Queen's Hotel. In the morning the English lads and officials visited Penarth, a.nd many of them had an opportunity of witnessing the sea for the first time in their lives. Afterwards a meeting of the English Sshoole' Union 1mB held, when it was decided to play Q. H. Wooten (B-ugby) in the place of Cum. mings, the Torquay forward. At the same meeting Mr. J. C. Cooper was unanimously re- elected hon. secretary and treasurer; Mr. Frank Jones (Birmingham) was chosen as the new chairman. The trial match far next saaeon wa's allocated to Gloucester, whilst it was decided to play the interna'tional at Leicester, on March 4, 1911. Dalton, of Coven- try, the full-back, was chosen as captain of to-day's team. As in past years the lads of both countries were each presented with a pair of football boots, The Scrum," by Mr. J. Leeson, of Leicestea'. Prior to the maJtch the annual international dinner took piaoe &t the Queen's Hotel. and Saxon and Cymro met fraternally to chat over the com- ing battle. The little Welsh heroes, judging by their remarks, were optimistic, and were determined to wipe out the seniors' defeat a.t Twickenham. The weather was not of the kindest, for, whilst the sun was absent from sight, a very cold wind blew. This was in direct contrast to last year's match a.t Lei- cester, when Old Sol was radiant and the weather was very hot. Teams: ENGLAND BACK: Beg. Dalton (Coventry), captain. THREE-QCARTER BACKS; A.

Half-an-hour before the start there were barely a couple of hundred spectators present, the attendance rapidly increased, but 'bad not reached anticipations, when a few minutes after the advertised time, Eng- land led by Dalwn, fielded. Foley a moment later led on the young Cambrians. England won the toss, and decided to play with the wind behind tham. Ludaki kicked off and W. A. Thomas tackled Briggs in possession. Wren secured in the loose and threw out to Ludski, who sipoiied a fine effort by throwing a poor pass to Cornish, which was not talsen. The Engldeh forwards twi-ce got gway with fine ruehes, but little Wren, of Newport, each time fell on the ball. Pugh foolishly kicked into the open. with the result that the Welsh ups dribbled to half-way. Briggs found touch near the Welsh line. Wren made his mark, and FoJey removed the pressure. Pugh was cautioned at this stage for not placing the bail in the scrim- mage in an orthodox manner. The game so far had been very scra-ppy, the Welsh boys not healing satisfactorily. Securing from the line-out, Bloodworth kicked over the Welsh line, and Ley conceded a minor. From the drop out play settled down between tlhe Welsh 25 and centre Passing by t4w» English, backs lost ground, the ball being mulled badly by play- after player. A bout of passing between Cornish. Foley, and W. A. Thomas threatened danger until Reading smartly intercepted and kicked to touch. From the succeeding scrimmage the English boys heeled. Pugh sent the ball to Chudley, but the latter sent a wretched low pass to Wil. kins, which resulted in th eWeiLsih forwards dribbling to the English 25—the furthest ttbey I had gone up to date. Determined English Ta kling The WelSh backs tried passing, but deter- mined tackling by the English lads pre- vented muoh ground being gained. Davey failed to take a pass, but Reading quickly reoovered the ball and kicked to touch beyond baif-&Y- Cornish had a lovely oban-co of going through, but tried too much swerving, and was finely earthed by Chud- ley. Time after time through superior weight and strength the English boys heeled, and in consequence the fine Welsh backs had no opportunity. A fine kick by Foley found touch near ten yards from the English line. A mistake by WUkms looked dangerous for England, but Qhudley quickly recovered, and put in a grand kick to touch at the centre. On succeeding play Ley was prominent for safe fielding amd long kick to touch. Scrim- maging took place near the English line, ami tbe Welsh ups heeled the ba-H out clearly for once, but Wren's pass was not taken, and the English forwards, with the ball at their toes, took play to half-way. In to half-way. In some loose piay Cornish jndiciouslv kicked, amd. following up smartly, looked like faU- ing on the ball for a score, when it un- luckily went into touch. Weisn Captain Scores From the succeeding scrimmage the ball -came out nicely to Hopkins, who, drawing opposition, passed to Wren, who then quickly handed to Foley. The Welsh captain looked like being collared, but ma-iaged to get past the opposition to score behind the posts. The same player failed to convert. On the dropout Wales again started pass ing, but Fischer, missing, a fine opportunity ■was lost. High kicking by Bloodworth and quick fol- lowing up by Norman and Neal put the Welsh line in danger, but Ley earned ap- plause by some safe and Dluoky fielding. The Welsh forwards, led by Thomas and Ludski, came away w.th the ball at their tcef- and Dalton mis-fielding, Cornish had hard lines in not gathering the ba-li before it turned into touch. Coraish came into the picture again directly afterwards with a nice kick and follow-P. Dalto-n was slow in fielding, and foolishly kicked into the open, but the Welsh boys were not alive to the chances of a SOOJPS. Half-time was- then called. nan-time score. G. T. P'tIJ. Wa.les 0 13 England 0 0 0 THE SECOND HALF Pickard re-started for England, and the referee failed to notice that the opening kick did not travel past the ten yarde' line. Tne Welsh backs a.t once started passing, and after one movement had failed, Foley made a graind -burst- through, and then kicked over the English line, and a touch-down was con- ceded. Chudley removed play out of th-e danger acme by a well-judged punt. A deal of line-oot work ensued iaeux the English 25. From here a loose dribble by the Welsh ups, headed by Gooch and Owen, 6ent the ball over the English line again, and another minor was placed to the Welsh lads' credit. The English pack were more disciplined after I this, and removed play to the centre. Bell, securing in t'he loose, further improved mat/tens, but Cornish smartly nipped in ajid staved the situation. The ball came out on the Welsh side, but the W?Ish halves wem caught n,aip?,?i. ? ir once, with the resaH tat Davey secured and looked dangerous until he was weU grassed by Foley. Final: G. T. Pts.
