WATER POLO. Swansea Swimmers Lose at Penarth. Although the Swansea Water Polo Team were beaten at Penarth on Wed- nesday night by the odd goal in fiv they had the consolation of knowing tha they played well, and were unlucky to loee. It was their first inter-town match since 1914. The same was a thoroughly good one in which Swansea did most of the attacking, only to be baulked by Parsons, whose play in goal was the feature of the evening. Penarth secured their goals through Chris Tones (2), and Street, while the Swansea scorers were Capt. Bert Palmer £ nd Tom Quick, the latter putting through from a corner throw by Daniel. Both the scorers are goalkeepers, Quick defending the net in the nrst half and Palmer in the second. A remarkable save was affected by Campbell Connor after the interval. Palmer had been penalised for coming away from the net, and Nkholks had an open goal, but the Swansea captain cleverly intercepted. Mr. Dickson (Newport) refereed. The Swansea team were: Goal, Tom Quick; backs, Arthur Fischer and Bert Palmer; half-back, Jack Barry; forwards, Camp- bell Connor (capt.), Percy Plumb and A. E. Daniel. In the squadron race Swansea were beaten by a touch.

I I The Day's Gossip. | Leader Office. Thursday. The Prince of Wales has been this year's stunt." The p;ot-ure-paparr, have set themselves the task of seeing that nothing of his aotrons shall escape the c-imera. The chatterers have vowed that no word of his shall go unrecorded. No Prince has ever been so exhaustively "wrLtxm up." Publicity of this k;nd. as a brother gossip suggested, has tz dangers—dangars which, even in leao public generations, prinoea hare not always osc.-ul-wi-but all the tisi'tmony available suggests that the Prince of Walw remains the p.easant, unaffected boy of the pariod just before the war, with the family sense of duty well de. veloped. He enjoys himself quite un- affectedly; he was delighted with his first Ascot; he has a tn,s(e for the theatre which is quite that of most YOlll1 Englishmen of hie age. He makes no pose of cleverness, but people seo in biau already his father's determination to i know and to understand. I II That J.P. List. I If I credited one per cent, of all that I ia being said regardng the publication of an incorrect and premature list of I I nominations to the magistracy, I would j be looking forward to very interestingI i and perhaps starm'e1opDlen8. I I 1 A Celebration Idea. I I A correspondent sends an interesting suggestion for the celebration of peace- He aays. "I have ov^ry faith in thc, united patriotism of our citizens to cele- braiie peace themselves i.f thoroughly organised to do so. May 1 suggest an idea which is in the hearts of the I majority of th. people--that it i £ quite time homage was paid to the town's re- urned ea-,Iors and soldiers who volun- to,-red, fought, and suffered, to save our country from a cruel enemy? To me it ( j seems the meanest and saddest thing that | pubUc thanks have not ab'eady been given them, and the same Iacer to those who j have not yet returned. On Celebration Day all men who volunteered and fought in the war shoulld themselves only form the procession, headed by the Mayor and Corporation and bande; sports to be held at the Cricket Field; bands to play at all the Parks: and in the evening a banquet to be given to all Swansea returned soldiers at the Albert Hall or Market, thoare to be public" y thanked, and each presented with an illuminated printed I addrom 11 t I Ferry or Bridge? I A saddened correspondent of mine writes in embittered strain, about the long-made promisee to bridge the Tawt, between Landore and Hafod. As he says, at etecdon times the project is in the front. To-day? In the summer time it is romant;o enough to sniff the smells of Hafod and cross in the ferry boat. To the occasional visitor it is an adventure, but to the man or woman who has to do the journey regularly bhe ferry cannot be a unmixed blessing. When ia the Couno;l going to move in this business? My cor- respondent tells me that some of the new citizens of Greater Swansea are getting resttve. II- More About Absalom. I let other correspondent eotear the lists on the subject of Absalom. One writes: Dear Mr Gossip,—I'm not so snrre that that the Biblical student has caught you. The statement did not set out to be a literal transcript of the Bible version, but merely said how Abealom died, and » I venhiro to think it is mom correct than the one implied by your correspondent, who might almost be accused of suppress- ing evdenee in this oft re-opened inquest. Now in el Israol thsre was none to be i so much praised as Absalom for his beauty, and one of bhe special features of his beauty was that when he polied his head (now it was at overy year's end that he polled it: bocauce the hair was heavy on him, there/ore he polled it}: he waighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels." Will your correspon- dent oxpla;4, without any reference to this wonderful h«a4 of ?a?T, h?w Absalom came to remain h?m?n? in the tree long enough for a :mg« to go to Joab. argue with him as to why he had not killed the Kinfrø som himself, and be I;t,ll alive when Joab arrived P Had he been oaught by tho neck he would have been able to free himself with his hands, or he would have choked. With his hair entangled in the thick houghs" he would have been helpless. Your cot re- spondient allows Joaib to receive the blame of killing Absalom whilst the Bible says it was the ten young men that smote Absalom and slew him," though there was a reasonable expectation that with Joab's three darts in his heart he would have died in any oaee (With this, I hope we may allow poor oid Absalom to rest; although I thank Tref- eglwys for his etter). The Tennis Champlonshii). I The W ar-or the Armibtioe,-has given a riee to a big boom in tennis, and many people are watchrng the first post-war All England Club Championship at Wimbledon. Anthony Wilding, who had to surrender the ehampiou-ship to Norman Brookes at the last meeting, fell in Franoe; Major J C. Parkes, who gained the unexpected rectory in the Davis Cup over McLoughlin in that young Ameri- can's sensational year, has had to rest with heart strain; and the result is ex- pected to rest between four men, at the most the three Australians—Brookes, Patterson and O'Hara Woods, and the wonderful Frenchman M. Gobert. Eng- land's title is d«feiuled by veterans oli'iefly who include Dixon, Gore and F. L. Rieeley whose return is one of the in- teresting events of the season, but the veterans played well on the opening day, and the Mother Country may yet provide a eurpr'se It. is an interesting feature of summer gamce that veterans can give youngsters points, and thait despite the four years' of war the inimitable Garge H'-rst is still adding to his centuries; but tennis is a more strenuous game than cncket. The Pictures. I Tht programme at a local cinema this week reminds me that it in very seldom a picture of a real educational nature can be liOOn on the screen. Pro- grammes, nowadas, are made up ch4efly of social dramas, which sometimes are inclined to bore the man of reading; altiuougn, now and again we get one of a highly. interesting nature. Pictures of charming ocenery. notable buildings, and some of the wonders of the world, eeem to have pajsssd out of our halls almost completely. Quite a store of knowledge could he obtained by seeing these pic- tures. Why are those educational topics excluded from our halls? Would it not be better to combine, with our amuse- ments, fomething of practical know. Thus a colleague. I will answer his queries briefly. They are excluded because the mass of people who go to cinemas don't appreciate them. They go to the halls to be amused, not educated, and here, as everywhere eloe, the pay-box j: talks loudest.

On Wednesday afternoon the Radnor County Bowling Club paid a visit to the Bryn-road green, where they were enter- tained by the Swansea Club. The home woodrollers were in. great form, and were U,,) on four of the bix rinks played. The rink skipped by D. A. Sutherland came an unexpected cropper, and were defeated iather heavily. From the outset Swansea took up a strong position and steadily in- creased their lead, and at the termination of the game were well up, over-topping the Llandrindod bowlers' total of 88 by 48 shots. The green was in splendid condi- tion, and the greenkeeper must have worked hard to get it into such a fine state of perfection. Radnor County. Rink- i-T. Mills, J. Gardner, J. Greenwood, J.

LIFEBOAT DAY. I Friday and Saturday for Swansea. Friday and Saturday next are Lifeboat baya in Swansea, when residents and vieitors will have the opportunity cf abow- fas how nnicii they appreciate the irreat national service whioh possesses Z6 life- boats round the United Kingdom. which, during the war, reecued no lees than 5,309 aailors, soldiers, airmen, doctors, nurees, and the crows, of merchant ships bringing us the food without which this ocountty could not have held out until victory was won. The nation owes a debt to the crews of our merchant Ships, and the lifeboats have never been of greater v-alue to the State tha-n during the four and-a-b&l £ Yeals of warfare. The Prince of Wales, ever ready to show hia intereet in every kind of work for the good of his country, has graciously be- come the preeident cf the Lifeboat Institu- tion, and the looal lifeboat crews will supply a guard oif honour for his Royal Highpess on Friday ait the Guildfoall entrance, which the Mayor ,ho« accepted through Lient.-Ool. D. Brook Williams. D.S.O., who is making the arrangements. The Mumibles'men, all th-roucb the yeart I that a. lifeboat has been stationed there, j have alwayw responded to the call cf those in peril on our coast, and some, alas, have Ifeid down their lives attempting to on others. There are 256 other boats stationed round the coast, oil maintained by the ifoluntary contribution* of the pocple of lite eountry, and many Welsh hornet have bad the breadwinner returned to them- saved from a watery grave—through the heroism of theee men, who to out and ftgbt the storms to save lives. I
