The action of Day to Day is shifty enough, as scenes are enacted oil the Thames Kmbankmeut, down in Duvonshire, aiall mora than oue place in France. Grand Theatre. The Skaughrauii has hold its owu for years amid tllti rapid development of the sensational drama movemout, and its production at the Grand this week wili doubtless have the effect of tilling the theatre ou a much larger scale than soma receut pieces. There is picturesqueuess about the piay which awakens aud sustains interest and the boisterous humour and divert- ing situations are such as never fail to produce that hearty laughter winch doctors prescribe as an invaluable "medicine."

M I N E H S' MEETING AT CAERPHILLY. 0.1 Saturday afternoon a genera! meeting of 111.ners of the Caerphilly Miners' Association was held at the Market-hall, Caerphilly, The officers present were Mr John Edwards, chairman, and Mr Lowis Mills, secretary. The suggested International Federation of Miners for national purposes was approved, and also the proposed adoption of ei £ nt hours as the period for work at ail collieries and mines throughout tha world. The notice given by the aseociated employers to terminate the slid'ng-scale agreement was com- municated to the meeting. It was con- jectured that the notice was due to the determination of the colliers to secure an impvovemunt of their position, notably with fegaru to the" Billy Fairplay and the action of colliers in Reeking to establish a levelling up of wages. These last alterations were deemed an infringement of the new document, and the work- toon and employers diff-i-red on tie point. The miners in the d: vision v,ere advised to take the lie^eRsary strps to organise themselves thoroughly, *0 that tiiey might be in a positiou to withstand any attempt made to reduce their wages at the termination ol the agreement. The Monmouth- shire miners had invited tiie Caerphilly Associa- tion to tbp. demonstration of miners at (Jrutniiu Oil July 2ls!, when Air B. P.ck^rd, M.P., aud others will speak on the w.ige qu'esti-jn, ani it was decided th.\t all coliurs In the district should take part.

MR GLADSTONE & MIDLOTHIAN. A gentleman ill Jarrow having written to Mr Gladstone, suggesting that his forthcoming journey to should be made by the Kast coast route, has received the following reply from Mr Arnold Morley :—" No arrangements have yet been made with inference to the details of Mr Gladstone's visit to Mid- lothian in the autumn. You will, of course, understand it is impossible to espect Mr Gladstone to visit every part of the c untiy. His journey in the autumn is a long- deferred fuiiiiinent of a promise made some years ngf) to visit his constituents, but the suggestion you make as to the route by which he should travel to Midlothian shall certainly receive attention. Cu such occasions the lessening of fatigue by the shortest route has of course to be considered.

DISPUTE AT THE SWANSEA COPPER wonKS. A strike was only very narrowly averted at the Morfa Copper Works, Landore, on Saturday. Four men, who bad been dismissed because they refused to work overtime for the rate ofiere i, were, as a result of Messrs T. Manu and H. Orbell interviewing the masters, unconditionally reinstated. The following morning a notice was posted by the employers saying the men had apologised for their conduct. Tins so exasperated the bulk of the men at tne works, most of whom are now members of the union, that they threatened to go out on Mouday as a protest. The result is that the notice has been removed aud work will go on as usual. The union on Saturday night enrolled a large number of men, and 8tnpj were taken for making most of tho labourers at the various copper and steel werk" members of the union. Ita strength at Swansea is uow 12 lodges 500 members each. (

The G love Fight in Bath. PROSECUTION OF CRGWTHER AND HAYMAN. Committal cf the Accused.. 011 Satwday, at tbe GlIldhalJ. thth-befùre ihe ILccord <r (Mr W. C. F,,Ikarci)-.Alargan Crowttrer (of Nuwport-), James Hayman (of Benjumiu Hyarns (London) were indicted ior having been engaged in a prize fight at Brock- streot Hall, on May 13h, The two former i prisoners aro well-known pugilists, whilst Hyams is also a prominent figure in sporting circles, and on this occasion he was charged with acting as time-keeper during the alleged tight. Mr Douglas Maicnif prosecuted, Mr Grain defended Hyams, whilst H?yraan and Crowther were repr8œnted by Mr Wilson Fox. The court was crowded during the proceedings, which were uot concluded uutil nearly tu o'clock. Mr Metcalfe, who prosecuted, in his opening sternent, aaid that, the two youug prisoners, Crowther and Hayman, wpr? charged beiore them with engaging in a prize fight, whilst, the I' other prisouer, Hyams, was charged with being timekeeper and assisting at the light. It appeared that the proceedings took place at Brock-street flail, Hath, on the evening of tho race meeting on May 13th. About 300 or 400 persons were pre- sent in the hall, eicti of whom were chared at the rate or 5-, 10s, or £ 1 for entrance. Count- d Llwelc upon the matter of the stakes being for L50 a f-ide, and contended that it was not an exhibi- I' tion of sparring but a bona tide prize fight, and thereferk atneuable to the law. Iuspector Sutton, of the Bath city police, stated I tLe facts of the case. He did not interfere with the fight until the combatants presented signs of I severe punishment. In cross-examination witnesq soid lie had no knowledge ac the time of the police having been I requested to attend tho proceedings by the pro- moters of the entertainment. lIe bad, however, since heard that the company renting the hall had, throueh their solicitors, asked for police attendance..He did not stop the fight when it commenced, because the first rounds were of a light and harmless nature. When, however, they became much mora severe in character he in- t¡erfer1(. The second charge in the indictment, of I riotousiy assembling, with divers other plrsons," was here withdrawn by the prosecution. Col. Gwyn (chief constable) was examined as to the jlltructions l'ecei veJ from the company renting the hail to send police, and Serge. Ricketts, also of the city constabulary, gave similar evidence to that of Inspector Sutton. Previous to addressing the jury, Mr Grain sub- mitted that there was no case to go before them, but the Recorder ruled against this. He further declined, after considerable discussion as to the hearings of weil-knowu decisions in similar cases, to state a case, Mr Grain then, on behalf of his client Hram, laid his defence before the ury at great length. He remarked upon the evidence of witnesses for the pros-jcution that had been given to the effect that them had beeu no riotous conduct on tha part of the audience, and no malice observable between tho two combatants in the matter. To him, tho whole atiair aoemnd a storm in a tea-cup. The Recorder, in summing up, referred to cases which laid it down that an assembly of persons at a prize light was an unlawful assembly. If tho matclI was a men exhibition of skill in sparring, then it was not illegal. If, however, tha parties met intending to light until one gave in from exhaustion or injury received, then it was a breach of the law aud a prizi tight, whether they fought in gloves or not. lie left it to them whether the match under tbeir consideration was a prize tight or a breach of tt;o peace. If they did not consider it a prize light then theru was still the question as to whether there was a case of assault by one prisuncr of thl: other. After a long consultation the jury annonnced that there was no possibility of their agreeing upon a verdict. Ttie Recorder accordingly dis- charged them, and remanded the case until the uexi, quarter sessions, when it will bo heard ;Iain.. IÜr Fox asked thai i might b' taken at the Wilts Ass-zee on Tuesday, but the application was re I ui,, (I. Prisoners were eliott liberated ou the same recotrn zinces as before, theinxelvas in £ 50, and one surety for the same amount.

He, however, advisad till) Naruerth weavers to form a society among 1 themselves, and L, o was sure that others would juiu sucu a society when they realised its benefits. A list of prices, on a higher scale than that which was now ill operation, had been flamed, and it was for tho meeting to adopt or reject it. That scale was not so high as that which was in operation C trinartlieii, but they must not hope to reach the top of the ladder at ollce.-Addre8PR fallowed on the advantage, of unionism.—Mr Powell advised the men to raise tho turm of apprenticeship to five years, for the weaving trade would never be a successful one if tho marker was glutted,—Mr William Thomas, an employe at, Hyffryn Mill, proposed a resolu- tion to the effect that it was "desirable to form a union for Pembrokeshire, having its head- quarters at Narberth, and that such union be known as the Narbarth District Society."—This resolution was seconded by Mr Charles James, Forest Factory, and carried with acclamation,- The oiffcer* of the uni >11 were then appointed as follows:—President, Mr Benjamin Llewellyn; secretary, Mr W. Thomas treasurer, Mr D. Lewis, ForeKt Factory.—An executive committee was also appointed, consisting of one representa- tive from the several factories in the neighbour- hood of Narberth.—Th^ scale of charges already referred to were adopted, and it was decided that it should b'3 printed and seut to the masters,—It was agreed that the union should meet at Nar- berth on the first Saturday in each month.

Thomas, and Mr Corbett (Mertliyrmawr),—Oa the motion of Mr C. H. Williams, seconded by Mr Graham Dornford, it wa:s agreed that in future an abstract account be not necessary, it being «.bs»rved that all that was inquired was t.; know that the hunt paid its wi,v.- A long discussion took place as to the boat lnothod of coping with the ddficulty caused by people regularly hunting with I lie hounds, and yet who paid 110 subscription. Cardiff mcn wor Raid to be the greatest siuaers in this respect. It was also stated that a great many complaints bad been made of tiie damage done i<y children sent out in charge of A groom.—Mr C. H. Williams proposed, amI C'J!encl Tyler seconded, that a "cup" b.,3 sant round to non-subscub^rs at eacb meet. Mr D. T. Alexander proposed, as au amendment, that a minimum subscription of three guineas be expected from each person who hunted with the hounds.—Mr J. G. Thomas seconded this, aud it was agreed to by seven votes to six, it being under- stood that the rule was not to apply to farmers and ether friends. Tbe ,subscri lien., at the Cardiff end of the country, were also asked to select a gentleman to act as joint secretary.I question then arose as to hunting three day a week, but it was eventually thought better to leave it at two days.

At twenty minutes past four o'clock Air aud Mrs H. M. Stanley took affectionate leave of their friends, and started, amidst a shower of rice from the balcony above, in an open carriage for Waterloo Station, on their way to Melehet Court, liomsey, the ssat or Louisa Lady Ash- burton, where they will spend the honeymoon. Dr Park es and Mr Mountenoy Jephson accompa- nied Mr and Mrs Stanley to the station. The bride's travelling costume was of grsy crepon, tiie plain skirt being edged with silver galou, and C1w full-crossed bodice was finished with a belt and collar of the same trimming. A small mantelet cf velvet of th same colour was edged with silver and grey fringe, and had friiliugs and long ends "f UloJusAelmf:J de cui/Ion to match. She had a la'ge grey hat and feathers to correspond. Mr and Mrs Stanley were very heartily greeted by a large crowd at Rotnsey.

GARDEN PARTY AT MfiS TENNANT'S. I [FROM A LADY OOI1KKSPONDHNT.1 1Ir!i Tonnant's hOl1o in Kiehuioud-terrace is a t,i?, one, as I,ondun uouses go, but it was well tbat it did not r&in, for even its large drawing-rooms would have been far coo small for the immense ass-rnblage of friends who wished to do honour to Mr Stanley and his bride. As it was, nothing could have been more brilliant than the appear- ance which the gathering presented with the beautiful garden at the end of the terrace for its scene. The band of the Grenadier Guards, under Dan Godfrey, played their gayest music, and dotted all over the grounds were little tables, heaped with all the dainties of the season. Sandwiches of all kinds which have been I very fashionable this season, strawberries and cream, peaches, and grapes, aud champagne freely Sowing. A novel feature consisted of bou- bon.m;àe to imitate the bridai flowers,gardenias, orange blossom, and lily of the valley. These sweetmeats, which were ordered expressly from Vieuna, were so cleverly imitated as to deceive the scientific observer. Besides the little tables, there were two long mar^ueesrin one of which tho cake was the crowning trophy. Imagine Cupids holding cornucopias, and pouring forth from them real orange blossoms and other fragrant nuptial flowers upon tiers of sugar work supported by silver-plated pillars, whilst at the base auother tiny Cupid with his tear- ful eyes becilue he is enchained, and cannot join bis fellows. The idea was a pretty oue, and admirably carried cut. Among the familiar faces whom wo see sitting in groups or chatting were Mr and Mrs GLàstone-she in a white lace shawl and red velure dress, watchful as ever for the comfort of her "gudeman." Near by is the ex-Premier's trusty henchman (Sir William Harcourt) speaking to the Dean of Westminster, the Baroness Burdett-Coutts and her husband, the Duke and Duchess d Abercom, Karl and Countess Cumpton, Sir Charles and Lady Forster (old friends cf the bride), Sir Algernon and Lady Borthwiek, Mr Stuart Wortlay, M.P., Mrs Stuart Wortiy, ao; young Mrs Stuart Wortley with her fathei, Sir John Millais, who painted the bride as his subject of his Yes or No" picture. Meanwhile everyone is crowding round Mrs Stanley, wlio looks, indeed, a queenly figure in white satin, pearl-besprinkled. Her high Medici collar of pearls is brought dGWU into a plJiut in front, and displays to thir bent advantagi the Queen's gift of her miniature set in diamonds. To the many inquiries the rerly is that Mr Stanley is resting In tho honse, kut that he is on tit" way to recovery. Mrs Myers, in r exquisitely I-ecomine draperies of fawn-c jloured crepon with a black hat and bouquet of orchids, is hero, tht"re, and everywhere, and is ably assisted by Mr Cliarles Tennant. Mrs Tenant, the bride' mother, looks most picturesque in a softly flowing cloak of dove-grey trimmed witl* turqn use blue velvet, carrying a bouquet ef La France roses, mingled witk th? now Princess Beatrica swe^t pea. A special interest attaches to' tho bouquets, apart from their intrinsic beauty, for they were made by Load- stone," the lady florist, who was forwerly at Swansea. Mrs Norton, to givo her real name, has now established herself in Belgravia, and the most fashionable people declare that her taste in all floral raatters is ouite beynd rivalry. Presently the bride disappears to don her travelling dress, and the company adjourn to th" house to take a elano? at the presents. Passing tbrousrh the crowd, we cbssrve Lord and Lady Wolseley with their pretty daughters, the Hon. A. Yorke, Dowager Visccuntess Galway, Sir Lewis and Lady Pelly, Lady MiJdletsa, D^waprer Lady Westbury, Lady Cinatance Leslie, and Princess Grica. Mr Watts, who lainte-I a mignificent portrait of tbe bride, remarks, You dl!n't often find ine at such ceremonies." Literature and journalism aro repre- sented by Mr Lccky, Mr and Mrs Humphrey Ward, Miss Beatrice Potter, the authority on tha swsatint; system, with her brether^n-law, Mr Courtney, tie chairman of committees. Pro- fessoi and Mrs Henry Sedgwick, Mrs Richmond Ritc'iie, Miss Thackeray and the drama sends Air and Mrs Kendal, the latter wearing one of the smartest costumes of any, a combination of tabac-brown cloth with fall sleeves of sky-blue silk. Upstairs we find the presents filling two large rooms. It is true the diamonds are not on view, but there is a dazzling display of plate, fans, and knicknacks of all sorts. There are the caskets 1 from all tho towns which have given their freedom to the explorer; a silver iukistaud from the Prince of Wales, an artistic silver goblet from Princess Louise. In a place of honour is the grand silver bowl from the tenantry of South Wales. Near by is the handsome Bible from the Rev W. Hughes, of Colwyn Bay, and much admiratiou is accorded to an embossed form of welcome from Mr Davies, secretary of tho proposed Welsh exhibition. The principality is altogether well to tho fore in the matter of liberality, for Mrs Crawshay Binds a piece of plate, and a most elegant sil verlamp comes from Mr and MrsThomas Williams, of the G-raig, Glamorganshire. The easel, with th3 portraits of Stanley's officers, who gave it, is also a handsome gift. But the noionr goes about that the bride is dressed, and there is a rush to the hall, where we find Mrs Stanley-what; a pity that Watts or Millais could not paint her on the spot a radiant vision of j loveliness in gtey ctepon ombroidered with silver and crystal lieli car of China ci 6pe with chiffon frills and fringe of silver, and bonnet of grey feathers and ielvet. Then she softly opens the door of her stvdio, and behold! Mr Stanley in readiness to depart. H,) lockz;, pile, indeed, and ill, but with tlH bright gleam of happiness in his eyes that is unmistakable. Then Mrs Stanley kisses her mother, brother, and sister, takes an affectionate leave of her cousin, Mr Hamilton Aide, and her brother-in-law, Mr Frederick Myers. A last glauce, a pressure of the hand from this, that, and the other friend then the roar of tempestuous cheering from the crowd outside, a scattering of rice, and they are --one. Stanley, let us hope, will win back health at Muicbet-court, as he has wcu already fam", honour, and a btids beloved by all. Celebrations at Neath. During the whole of Saturday, canows were tired on the Ten-jani Estate, at N-ati), in'boa*ur of the marriage if Miss Dorothy. Tennant to Mr Stanley. The village of Cadoxton—where the country seat of Mrs Tennant is situated—pre- seuted a very festive appearance, being i,,aily decorated with tinting", & A iverry peal was rune- on the bells tt Cadoxton Church,
