The Man About Town.
The Man About Town. It is strange how the habit of newspaper reading makes us forget the reality of things in their names. We get so accustomed to see events through the medium of type that half their reality is lost, and our vision is clouded by mere words and phrases. How serious and real a defect this may become we have a ready illustration in the history of philosophy. The Jacutest race the earth has produced mistook words for things, and —as many of their successors, even if these days have done—constructed fanciful and sophistical systems of pure verbal criticism Some such thought is raised in our minds when we see how difficult it is for us some- times to realise the full force and meaning of an event of which we read. Already in the papers have appeared columns of matter about the great strike in South Wales, and yet it seems to be quite elusive and unreal to us. We cannot raise in our minds a lively notion of it: the mere phrasing of a report teaches us to think and even to feel in phrases. "Thousands of hauliers and colliers out of work," says one paper in large type, and we vaguely sympathise, but alas our sympathies, too, are in type, and emboss our minds without being able to sink beneath and become quick and sensitive feelings. JI. It is when we go to the rich valleys of Glamorgan and see the things, and not the names of things, that we become possessed of a deep and abiding feeling of distress for the unhappy condition of things. A collier," we say glibly enough and still more glibly, a collier on strike." Yes, but see this collier a man of intelligence and Celtic fire, a man of sentiment and often of education see him in his home, a place constructed for him on the most meagre and revolting principles, sometimes unhealthy, always unlovely, with no convenience or comfort or homeliness, mere huts sometimes, with disagreeable contrivances of de- caying brick or varnished smoky stone; see him there, with his body bent with labour, dwarfed by long hours in the darkness and unwholesomeness of the mine, with his face pallid and shrunken from a heroic life where danger and death are common-places, and the fair and beautiful aspect of nature, the glory of the open air, the sweet scent of the country, the splendours of sun and sky, all the ordi- nary common blessing of our life, are but broken memories to him, or scant enjoy- ments. See him—whether he be mistaken or really in the right—fighting for a prin- ciple which he thinks at least to be a just and a good one see him giving up occupation and his weekly wage and comforts, such as they are, and those of his wife and children, and with a given problem before him, darkened by possibility of want, starvation, weary days of bitter struggle, of hope delayed, of disappointment and pressing need see him as he is, and then for the first time this newspaper stereotyped verbal notion of a strike will fall away from your awakened sense, and you will realise what a grim and terrible thing it is, and how tense the hour is with suffering. That is what I want to impress upon my readers that, in all their criticisms and hasty judgments, cast forth in moments of idleness or careless ease, they may understand that whether they are right or whether they are wrong, it is an awfully real thing, this labour struggle, which should reach below our criticisms and condemnation even unto our very hearts 1 It is one of the few things which give us pause amid so much that is connicting in economic questions that the action of a few hauliers, earning their fifteen shillings a week, or it may be more, may put out of joint the commercial stability of a whole community. At the Docks of Cardiff there is little doing, because there is little to do. How remote seem this office, how little con- nected these able men who control the trade of a great town with the uneducated men who delve in the mine in some far-distant village where there is nothing impressive and nothing beautiful! But for all that there stirs some strange movement amongst these men, some desire for improvement or advance- ment, and at once the whole ingenious machinery is at a stand. No amount of clever management, and no ingenuity of system can make it work. That, I say, is an impressive and instructive fact, and at least shows how foolish it would be to discuss the intimate relations that exist between the master and the man, between the office in town and the worker in the mine. J What the issue of the present fight may be no one can tell. Who is right and who is wrong it is not possible for us to say. The learned stipendiary at Cymmer, whilst Jgiving judgment against the hauliers summoned for their absence from work, remarked that certain issues had been raised oy Mr Lloyd Meyrick which would need consideration at some future time. This observation is one that demands attention. If our present economic laws have been based on insufficient know- ledge of the true relations between capital and labour, then it is well that the wisest and acutest mind amongst us should revise those laws. It is a rash and a foolish thing to decide prematurely we are as in a whirlwind and tornado, on all sides, in distant Durham, m the nearer Mid- lands, at our very doors are these outcries and rebellions. They are not to be put by or set aside by a sneer let us be earnest and realise the position. The moment that two parties whose interests all acknowledge to be in the end identical, opposed, that moment it is needful that we should lay aside prejudice and passion and interest and should attempt to see where the evil rests when a delicate machine stops, the engineer does not set huge wheels whirring in opposite directions, seeking by main force and friction to force the organism into harmonious action. He seeks to trace out the obstacle and discover the flaw. It may be a trivial obstacle or a trivial flaw; but dis- covered it must be if the machine is ever again to work smoothly and harmoniously. No one feels more than I do-for my soul is eminently peaceful and eager for quiescence —the sad necessity which introduces into the last day of the week disturbing affections and agitations. Saturday It is with most men the most sacred day of the week, for it means an end to a labour that has pressed heavily and demands surcease. One likes to close one's ears to all that distracts and annoys. My excuse, 0 Reader, must be that I have seen something of what this labour war involves, and that I feel the pressure of it all too keenly to be able to glide off into ordinary topics and enter into these zephyr-cooled paths where only gentle thoughts and peaceful feelings linger. Perhaps it is as well to rise occasionally from these charms. Earthquakes may rise even in the classic groves, and who knows whether Parnassus itself was not in its day stormed at and submerged by a volcanic outpour which converted its flowers and pleasant ways into hot cinder-beds and rolling torrents of lava- flood 1 This at least may be said. We have entered a IIp.ri(.f1 wlipn rpalism r.l n'ivit. n hearing and when we are bidden to listen to all the sad inflections of the voice of the race as it murmurs its strange confused song. Zola, whatever his faults may be, has worked this miracle that the obvious has been recognised at last, and that we no longer seek with telescope and spectrum what lies at our very feet. We cannot afford to waive aside these problems that press upon us and pretend that we do not know whether they exist or whether we hear them or no. If the Nineteenth Century passes swiftly into its last decade and feels no more the thrilling movements of its birth, at least there are the deep under-rumblings which portend a new and startling age. There is much for succeeding years to determine, there is much that clamours for a final judgment. But nothing seeks so persis- tently, so imperatively for a solution as these labour questions, Yofich have dis- turbed a whole generation. It is impossible for us to hope to see the end of it all. But optimism at least leads us to believe that that end will be one of mutual agree- ment one that will resolve into an eternal harmony the passing discords, held too long in suspension, but destined to sweep off into a noble and magnificent con- cord Mr Godwin Edwards, secretary of the Chicago Welsh Ladies' Choir, tells me that the announcement on Wednesday last that the choir had abandoned the idea of going to Chicago for lack of funds was premature. A most successful concert was given at the Albert-hall, Newport, on Thursday, and at Pontypool last evening. The Hanbury- hall, at the latter place, was crowded with an enthusiastic audience, and a subscription list was opened after the con- cert. Some friends in London have offered to subscribe liberally rather than that the choir should not go, and as there still re- mains a week or ten days before it would absolutely be too late for the choir to sail, the members still have hopes that the necessary money will be forthcoming, and that they may yet get to Chicago in time for the Eisteddfod.
The Severn Navigation Improvement.…
The Severn Navigation Improvement. f ANNUAL INSPECTION. YVoti rday the annual inspection of the Severn Navigation Works by the Severn Commissioners took place. The commissioners met at Stourport, and were accompanied by a number of merchants and others interested in the Severn Navigation scheme. The improvements sanctioned by the Act of 1890 have now been nearly completed. A new trans shipment dock at Worcester has practically been completed, and, by dredging opeations, a minimum depth of water of ten feet between Worcester and Gloucester has been effected for a distance of 24 miles. At pre- sent the dredgers are at work below Tewkesbury, and by the end of tho summer it is anticipated that the 10ft. channel will have been completed for the whole of the distance between Worcester and Gloucester. This will admit of tlte paseage of vessels of 400 tons between those two towns. It is hoped that by mmwsof specially-constructed boats, which are being built by Cardiff merchants, the manufacturers of Birmingham and South Stafford- shire will be induced to accept thecheaperfacilities offered by Bristol, Cardiff, and Newport for the export oi their goods, the bulk of winch is now sent to London, Liverpool, and Hull. The whole of the works along the course of the Severn from Stourport to Gloucester were yesterday inspected, and luncheon was. partaken of on board the steamer Aveumore, between Worcester and Tewkesbury. Mr G. E. Martin (the chairman of the Severn Commissioners) presided, and among those also present were the mayor of Gloucester (Mr Matthews), the mayor of Cardiff (Mr W. E. Vaughan), General Sir C. C. John- son, Alderman J. Rowley Hill, Alderman G. Day (Worcester), Messrs F. Impey (Birmingham), F. B. Girdlestone (manager of the ducks, Bristol), R. Johnston, D. Lewis, W. Sanders (Cardiff), H. J. Parsall (Newport), B. Danks, E. P. Evans, Harry Day, T. G. Chaplin, T. Southall (cJ»rk of the commission), E. D. Marten (engineer), &c. The Chairman proposed the hpalth of the "Mayors of Gloucester and Cardiff." The Mayor of Gloucester, In reply, said he believed Gloucester would do what it could in arranging any little difficulty with regard to the Westgate Bridge. (Applause.) That was, he supposed, the burning question of the day. He felt suro the citizens would not oppose a girder bridge, by which the traffic would not be inter- fered with. (Hear, hear.) Personally, as a manufacturer and a citizen, he should not oppose the alteration, believing that what, went up to Worcester must in the ond benefit Gloucester also. (Applause.) Gloucester would share in Worcester's prosperity. (Hear, hear.)-The Mayor of Cardiff (Mr Vaugha.n) said the merchants and citizens of Cardiff took a great, interest in th, scheme, anq he I wondered that the facilities of that noble water- way had not been taken greater advantage of by the manufacturers of the Midlands. They trusted that there would soon be a speedy communica- tion not only with Worcester, but between Bir- mingham and the Bristol Channel ports. (Applause.)—The Chairman proposed the health of the manager of the Bristol Docks, and, in responding, Mr Girdlestone expressed the sympathy of Bristol with the scheme, for they believed their principal exports must, sooner or later, come from inland towns like Wolverhamp- ton and Birmingham. (Hear, hea.r.) Those places were the natural centres from which Bristolians would draw their exports. He was pleased to say his company had arranged for two I lines of steamers to leave Avonmoufch and Bristol docks regularly twice a week on fixed days of the week. (Applause.) That would, he thought, be ? con?jdernbte convenience to the exporters of Birmingham, WoJverh?mpcou, and Worcestef. He believed the time would come when that mag- nificent waterway would be utilised much more than it had fv-r been m the past. j

Breach of Promise. ACTION AGAINST A CARPET DYER, I Damages £200. .0 Yesterday, Mr R. C. Heath (UIKIM- Sheriff fo» Warwickshire) and a jury sat at the Victoria Courts, Birmingham, for the purpose of assessing damages in an action brought by Retta Harman, spinster, Kidderminster, against George Day Turton, carpet dyer, also of Kidderminster, for breach of promise of marriage. £ 1,000 were claimed. Mr Hugo Young and Mr C. Rea (instructed by Mr M. Corbett) appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Vachell (instructed by Mr Morton) for the defendant.—The promise and the breach were admitted, and in opening the case Mr Young pointed out that the parties had been acquainted since 1886. and had, in fact, been en. gaged since 1886. They continued upon the closest terms of intimacy until the early part of this year, when, without the slightest reason, the defendant threw the girl over, and treated her with incûnsidie coolness. The only reason that could be assigned for defendant conduct was the fact tihnt he had become the possessor of con. sidenble property. Plaintiff in the Box. The plaintiff stated that she was 25 year3 of age, and lived at Worcester-street, Kidderminsfcer, She first became acquainted with defendant in the latter part of 1385 at her father's house, the Turk's before Christmas, 1885, she received an offer of marriage 'NTr V?,je l lell A,%?as-- from another gentleman.

Plaintiff (confcinuinRl' said that she became engaged to the" defendant in 1886, and about tnat time defendad" came out of his apprenticeship to a dyer and' carpet manufacturer. Defendant proposed to go4 to America, but before he went be said he would forfeit his passage money unless plaintiff pro.. mised to remain true to him during his absence. Whilst defendant was in America plaintiff ra- ceived several affectionate letters from hi A.—]yjr Rea Did vou receive this letter, Dearer Tet —Mr Vachell This is not a trial of a breach of promise of marriage. Defendant has admitted the promise and the breach, and we are only here to enquire into the damages, and I submit this lot of letters that passed during the engagement can't possibly affect the case unless they have reference to the young man's means.—The Under Sheriff I think you can pace the history of the case soortly before the jury but you need not go into details,—]V £ f Vachdl: I admit thnt he was most affectionate whilst engaged to plains it.

A TIGER AT LARGE.
A TIGER AT LARGE. Exciting Incident on a Steamer. Great commotion was causQd in Antwrp Oft Thursday morning when it became known, on the arrival of the Great Eastern Railway Com- pany's steamer iSorwich, from Harwich, that one of the twe Afncan tigers intended for the Zoological Gardens had escaped from its cage on deck, and was concealed somewhere about the vessel. An immense crowd immediately col- lected on the quay but meanwhile elobarate precautions were taken to prevent the beast escapiug to shore, sails and net being spread for a considerable height above the rail of the steamer. The tiger was eventually discovered crouching among the cargo, and when approached for the purpose of driving him into a cage sent from the Zoological Gardens, he growled in a manner that terrified even men who were accustomed to wild beasts. For five hours he de. fied all attempts to dislodge him from his re- treat, and it was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that the gardens' staff succeeded in rousing him and luring him into a horse-box which had been brought into requisition.

WELLINGTON, Friday.—The House of Repre- II sentatives to-day passed the Electoral Bill con- ferring the franchise on women, including I M,tories. -Reuter.
[No title]
Phew What weather we are having! The very thought of cycling is enough to make any ordinarily constituted being blow and perspire. To sit on a machine at all is sheer torture, yet this kind of thing makes one long to sit or lie down on something, if it were only a block of ice. Riding or walking is almost out of the question, and yet there are some enthusiasts who can see reason in whatever kind of weather we get. Angle, for instance, whom I met sprinting along the New- port-road the other day, declares that there's nothing like heat-I expect he means heats-for putting a rider in form. If it had been raining the proverbial cats Mid dogs he would have demonstrated beyond doubt or argument that it wns a similar blessing in disguise. I always give way to Angle in cycling metaphysics, but my private opinion remained about the same. I may just mention that if the present climatic conditions prevail much longer, my form, will have so far melted away as to save the expense of a coffin. The Bank Holiday sports on the 'Quins' ground served to indicate the form into which S. Jenkins has sprinted himself. To have beaten both Pope, of Derby, and our local scratch rider, S. T. Meager, ought to have made the festive day supremely satisfactory to Sid," however the handicaps may total up in future. On the two previous days Arthur Angle also created a little surprise and excitement, not to say enthusiasm, by the manner in which he drew Sammy out. Whether Angle wins or loses ho always meets a popular reception on the track. He has gained the confidence of the public, and never fails when riding to absorb a Jarg-c share of popular interest. The fact is, there is never any uncer- tainty about him. He rides out of pure love of the sport, and, to his credit, it may be said, that his presence on the track goes a long way towards maintaining our genuine amateur status. It means that other competitors have to wake up," or get" left"; and "loafing" round the track for a final sprint won't pav, and, in fact, that the race must be won by hard riding, and not by a sudden dash or a fluke. In saying all this about Angle, I am but reflecting public opinion, with which I am in perfect accord. Anglo rides to win race*, not prizes, for with regard to tha latter it may with truth be said he rides not Wisely, but too well." A good deal of unfavourable comment has been provoked over Pope's defeat by Jenkins. His defeat was certainly unexpected, but then it is just the unexpected which always happens. Pope, as I happen to know, was sadly out of form, despite the fact that he won the mile event the same day. He had been riding down at Exeter, where he won a 50 guinea shield on Bank Holiday, and was at another meeting on the previous Saturday. From Exeter to Cardiff, he had travelled in the night and had had no sleep whatever. He was as much annoyed over his defeat as anyone, for National cracks never relish defeats at the hands of local riders, and in conversation with a genil^m in subsequent to the race he admitted that lie was greatly out of form, and that he hait not been to bed for three nights previous. Under the best of circumstances a rider cannot always come up to public expectation. It is un- reasonably to expect it. B/essed is he that expecteth nothing is a beatitude which the public can never be made to understand or appre- ciate. They prefer to curse those who disappoint, them, without taking- any of the oircumstance.s into consideration. I have often thong-ht that ii; is not all beer and skittles" for men like A. W. Harris or Pope, when competing at local race meetings. They have their reputation to preserve, and t I i c-,y never know when they may drop ac.-o--s Sid Jenkins for instance. In- deed, I don't think I am far out in saying that such men have often to ride harder and under more trying conditions at local gatherings than when competing against riders of equal repute at Heme Hill. I am glnd to note that A. V. Lintern's failure at Hprlle Hill has had the eifect of creating a desire that in future steps should be taken by the committee and track officials to ensure that every competitor in the 24- hours' races shall be placed as far as possible on terms of ecjiiality, so far as food and drink are concerned. I he Cyclist says We must cordially support the suggestion made by a. contemporary last week that in future 24 hours' path competitions and catering for the competitors shall foriii part ot the official arrangements, This would place all competitors on an equality as regards this very important factor to success in such contest's, Let me also cordially endorse the suggestion. I see nother whatever to hinder the carry- ing out of such a proposal. It wouldn't cost a great deal, though all the competitors were as eiven to luxury in the matter of taste as the most devoted follower of Epicurus, and the expense would be a mere trifle as compared with the gate" money always realised on such occasions. Linton, I understand, is riding to-day at Man- chester in the 100 miles contest, and it goes with- out saying that his performance will be watched with interest, especially if Shor!and s hould, as he may possibly, turn up to compete against him. I must confess I should like to see Linton pull off this northern championship, if only to confirm the favourable opinions formed of him after his debut at Herne Hill. Local wheelmen will be glad to hear that the balance sheet in connection with the Licensed Victuallers' Athletic Sports*, held in aid of local charities about September last, has just been issued, showing a balance to the good of about £10, I understand that the committee have already apportioned this sum as follows :— £ 10 to the Infirmary, C10 to the Blind Asylum, R,10 to the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, and jBlO to Nazareth House. I think this is a very fair distribution, and beg to con- gratulate the committee and local athletes in genera'on the success of their efforts. I have received the following letter from the vice-chairman of the local centre of the N. C. U. in reply to the communication signed W. E. C. which appeared in my notes last week. I am bound to say that W. E. C." has taken a rather mistaken view of the position and obligations of our local centre. Our sport may be in "a very bad way," as he suggests, but to hold the local centre responsible is a trifle too exacting. When things go crooked and unsatisfactory, it is very easy to throw the onus of blame on other people's shoulders without considering the why and the wherefore. I do it myself sometimes, and we are most of us a trifle too hasty in finding fault without being over anxious to put our shoulder to the wheel" in trying to remedy what may be objectionable. Granting for the sake of aigument that some cycling and run- ning men are hand in glove with the betting fraternity," and that it is the duty of our Local Centre 1.0 suspend all such unsportsmanlike indi viduals, does W. E. C. wish to suggest that the Centre has shirked its responsibility in this respect ? Will he not rather admit that it is the difficulty experienced in bringing such offenders to hook" that is the chief cause of the present unsatisfactory condition of our sport ? Our sus- II picions anent the roping and unsportsmanlike conduct of certain individuals ma.y be only too well founded, but suspicion is not proof, and un- less proof is forthcoming. one must" grin and bear it." Moreover, I'm not inclined to be quite so pessimistic as W. E. C. I don't think matters are in quite such a bad way as they j were last year at this time, and am of opinion that the influence of the Local Centre is gradually bringing about the desired improvement. I consider it my duty to say this much ou behalf of the local centre, and as for the other points contained in W. E. C.'s letter of last week the vice-chairman shall speak I for himself. Here is his letter TO "PXEUMATIC." I Dear Sir,-t see in your cycling notes of last week a letter from a gentleman signed W, E. O." First of all he says that sport is in a bad way, and then goes 011 to attack me for trying to improve it. Whab did he see in the South Wales Daily JVews of Friday, the 4th ? Why, that I save notice of motion that no permits be granted to hold sports without the applicants agree to do their best to put down betting. Is not that for the good of sport ? May I ask him if that is the malig- nant attack" on another club, or did a little bird whisper to him the other proposition of mine ? and let me ask again if that is not in the interest of sport, for if that question is answered as it should be it will do away with a good deal of the friction between the racing men and the club. It is rather a peculiar fail- ing that gentlemen like W. E. C," should take up one side of the question, although he is not a member of the club. Has he a greater interest-, at stake ? Next he says some gentlemen have said that they will do all they can to injure the Harlequins' Club. I can safely say I have never done so, nor have I any persona! grievance against the club. What I have said or done 11ft>! been for the benefit of sport at large, and particularly for those cyclists who have joined the above club. I am glad to say that now they are combined and will be well able to look after themselves. If W. K. C." will only come foi vvard with a clear case against those cyclists who are "hand in glove with botting men and give it to either of the committee of the Local Centre (N.C.U.), I have no doubt they will be able to deal with it. -Thanking you, etc., JOHN GRIGGS. P.8.-I should be glad to see W. E. C." with a few of his cases that he knows so well at the next N.C. U. South "Wales Centre meeting, so that I may have the pleasure of meeting him and knowing his name in full. -0- I I am sorry to hear that a dispute of a rather irritating character has cropped up 111 connection with the Monmouth Athletic Sports, held on Bank Holiday. It will be remembered that one of the principal events to be contested at these syiorts was the three mile bicycle race for the llendre Challenge Clip, presented by Lord Llangattoek, value E21, and teit and coffee service value £ 5 5s. The con- ditions of the cup are that it should be won twice in succession or three times in all. It was won last year by J. Element, of Brecon, who again competed for it on Monday last. According to the programme, Miller, of Stroud, and Element should have ridden together in the first heat along with others, but Miller failed to appear on his mark at the appointed time, and the heat wa.s run off without him. Miller, however, presented himself for the second heat, and though Element, as I am informed, protested against this violation of the N.C. U. regulations, the committee allowed him to ride in the final as being the winner of the second heat. The protest, so I am told, was made: during the running off of the second heat accom- j panied with the regulation and therefore if the facts as stated are correct the Qomwitteewe.-o ;.0. W_M- undoubtedly wrongly advised in allowing Miller to compete in the final. Seeing that he latter was victorious over Element when the final was run off, it is doubt- v a,,3 run off, it is (loubt- less most unfortunate that he did not appear on his mrk according to programme. The result would in all probability h:we been the same as regards his success, but under the circumstances I am bound to confess that Element acted per- fectly within his rights in protesting as ht did, "] T 1 .tuu J nd,vii o cne siigntest doubt that in this he will be SUpported by the local centre of the N.C-U. I arn quite aware that many sports committees are in the habit of allowing riders to compete in heats other than those in which they are placed by the handicapper, but this is dis- tinctly in contravention of the N.C. U. rules, and is considered nothing less than an alteration of the handicap. However, I don't wish to prejudice the case. Possibly the committee may have some explanation to lay before the centre which may throw a new light on the question. My Pontypridd correspondent writes as fol- lows :-Cyclin at Pontypridd has been pretty well thrown aside of late in consequence of the immense attractions of our National Eisteddfod yet cyclists were very well represented even at the eisteddfod, and one could not but conclude that our cyclists a3 a body are pretty well dis- tributed amongst all other pursuits. There was Arthur Angle, who put in some good work "on his fiddle;" and an old cyclist led the Cardiff or- chestra to victory and ;CSO in the person of W. A. Morgan one of the active committee was W. M. Morris, and numerous other cyclists took a more or less active part, showing that cyclists are in I the van at any rate with all that is good. This week so many cyclists are either on their holidays or gone touring that edves it the place a deserted air. At the Volunteer inspection last Monday atCardiff the cyclingsection from Ponty- pridd was well represented, and were compli- mented on their smart appearance. Lady cyclists are increasing in the district. I saw two pretty Humber lady's safeties going up to Mountain Ash this week for the Misses Lewis from Morris Bros.' Cycle Works. They were fitted with light 2oin. cushion wheels, and I have no doubt their fair riders will derive great benefits therefrom. The Championship Sports on the Roath track this afternoon ought certainly to attract a large crowd of spectators. Bradley, the Huddersfield champion, and K-ibblewhite are to compete in the ioot events, whilst almost all the local racing cyclists ha.ve el., tered for the ten-mile champion- ship. This event will, it is confidently expected, prove unique in the history of local champion- ships. Acting on the suggestion of the local centre-which August body I believe received its inspiration from their president and official handicapper, Messrs W. and J. Young—have decided to fix a time standard, within which limit the race must be run or no prize awarded. After the deplorable championship exhibitions we have witnessed of late, this was undoubtedly the only course left open to those who desired to soe a real race, and not a procession." The record time for ten miles is, I believe, about 25 minutes, so that if the officials fix the limit at about 31 minutes, and the members of the Cardiff Cycling Club carry out their profferred object of making the pace lap and 1 'p, a good race m iy be looked forward to. I may mention also that LUlls medals are also to be awarded competitors who beat the limit to an appreci-Lble extlit.
I---.-I Tragic Occurrence…
Tragic Occurrence at Dublin. I -?- I THHEE UVE3 LOST ..I. The Freeman's Journal reports a tragic affair in Dublin last night, resulting in the loss of three lives. Near midnight a woman of the unfortunate clas.4 was ssen in company with Highland soldiers on Eden quay, all the worse for drink and quarrelling. The woman went down the quay steps towards the river, and was followed by the soldiers. Immediately a splash was heard and the woman's voice calling, "Oh, Jack!" several times. Some passers rushed to the steps and saw the soldier plunge into the river and endeavoured to rescue the woman. Both struggled helplessly, and three men, named Christopher Trefell, second engineer of the steamer Hornby Jalles Orson, a compositor, and James Doyle jumped in to the rescue. Beiore they succeeded, however, both soldier and woman sank. The others struggled hard to reach the bank, but the t;de was running strongly and Trefell sank also, Orson and Doyle being pulled out by life-buoys in an exhausted condition. Trefell was only 23 years of age, and resided with his brother ac Bootle, near Liver- pool, when at home. His body was recovered this morning.
