II The Day's Gossip. Leader Office, Wednesday. The days and nights of the present writer are being so fully occupied with the Widows' and Orphans' and Children's Summer Home Fund that ho 6tands in peril of dreaming: pounds, shillings and pence, and it was as an hour's relaxation he pilgrimaged yesterday to the sanc- I tuary of the Turner drawings in the Glyn Vivian Art Gallery. The pictures have been hanging in rooms 6 and 7 up- stairs since Thursday last, but the public announcement has been such a modest one that the generality of Swansea people have not yet become aware of what a de- light is in store for them here. When I entered the rooms there was not another soul present; the afternoon was dull and ¡ heavy, and the room being unlighted the pictures could not be seen at their best. I would suggest that the Art Gallery curator should consider the advisability of having electric light on upon siivh. glo omy afternoons. I! Mangled" Place-Names." 'II It was an hour to make one forget all | I the worries of the world. Turner ha? the inexpressible gift of carrying you away into the wonderful world of colour, out from the busy world of bricks and mortar of town life into the spacious hills and along the quiet rivers. I suffered, however, one disturbance of mind. l? Wt?s I'irritating beyond words to notice fhe mistakes in the titles of the ptetur?g. It may be that the picture frames have followed Turner's own spelling; but that docs not soothe one when he eec-s a title like Llan Idwsll for Llyn idiv: nnd j Llanstephen for Llanstophan. Number I I XXXTIll. is entitled Snowden from I { Quathlyn," which i? surely wron?. It I I seems to me that the collection requires overhauling by a sound Welsh Etudent. I Local Pictures. I j I will leave to a colleague who knows I the mountains af the North more inti-! nately than myself a description of the Snowdon drawings, dealing in this first j appreciation of the exhibition with the more local spots. There arc two scenes in | Carmarthen Bay which I cannot (mite locate, hut which possibly som? v?itor to the exhibition will be able to identify. I There is a beautiful- pencil drawing of I "Llan,stephan Castle," and a mar- J vellous piece of pencil work showing the 1 mill at Aberdulais. Kidwelly Castle is I also done in this medium, and the ford at Britonferry. In these pencil drawings ¡ one can sec the Turner whose delicacy II ) of touch and faithful service to nature I won the heart of Ruskin. Those who know the beautiful Melin- court Water Falls, which is situated on the River Clvdach not far from Resolven, in the Neath Valley, will marvel greatly at the supreme art which enabled Turner to catch the very spirit, of the scene. I When I last stood near these waterfalls I compared the scene in front of me with the inadequate representation which a photograph is able to convey. Would that some colour printer would place upon the market a faithful copy of these exquisitely tinted drawings! Some Puzzles. I It I would like to set for the future vi-ittirs) to (We exhibition, some problems. In I room seven there is ctio of the biggest of I' the water colours. It is entitled: Ruined Castle on Hill" (probably t Welsh). I have a suspicion that it may be Pennard. but I offer this opinion with every reserve. There is another drawing. ? Lmidsc&pc with Ruined Ca-t!o on Hill." This may 10 LIandov?ry—although a?ain I I offer the suggestion with considerable hesitation. I The Snowdon Scenes. The mo;t Turnerish of the drawings I show Snowdon and its neighbouring mountains under aspects of climate such as Turner loved to depict. I was only jibie to give yesterday an hour to the pic- tuj?s, but I hop' 'o re?ura again and again dur'n? the four months th?' w?! ?9 on view in Swans?n. for they con?t?ute the mc?t aHracti\t, sight S?an?:i. b?s to offer iii. I canno'. however, refrain from. a note about the drawing of Llyn Tdwf.J, Turner has s hown this savage part of the C.lyders from spot not far above 0,7wtlll Cottage. Twll Dii i-, veiled in clouds, and the scene is invested with a rugged grandeur such as those who have sojourned in thi" country will be able to appreciate. Again fh L-r-- is t.be wa'J-er c-olour of Tulle Cruci, Abbey, which is full of mystery, and several representations of Snotrrlon notably one which Turner must ¡ have sketched from the slopes of l!obr;g looking down upon Beddgelert. I A Wonderful Collection. i The exhibition has been opened so quietly that 1 doubt whether very many I people are aware of the treat that is in -tore for them. I would have tT, Alit that such an occasion might have been ) dignified hy a public opening, but per- haps it is better so. The drawings are to be on view at the Gallery for four months, and I trust thai; it will not be !o*g before every lover of in the town and district has visited the exhibition. v Tanks, 1914-18." I It L. I suppose, useless, to cxpecf the I full story of the tank in one book: it if too big and many-sided. But in Tanks, 1911-1918 the Log Book of a Pioneer" (Hodder and Stonghton, 12s. net), VetiL. Co!. Sir Albert Stern, K.B.E., C-M-G., give. tis, mainly from the side of mechani- cal aId nclmin istrative development, a frank and altogether fascinating narra- tive. His last chnpter is a roll of the men whose senilis designed tanks, wh enthusiasm and energy compelled a-reluc- but War Office to use them, and whose skill in the field made a terrifying iro.,ipon of the greatest invention of the war." The first three names in the I list are Mr Churchill, Mr. Lloyd George (" who protected thQ idea from destruc- tion by the forces of doubt and reaction on many occasions ") and Mr. E. S. Montagu, who succeeded him as Minister of Munitions. Sir Eustace d'Eyncourt is called the real father," Major-Goneral E. T). Swiuton is said to have given the War Office not a moment's peace until tiey adopted the idea,"—and tho author does 11,t antioar in the listl That War Office. I ) The Kook will have a prominent and 1 lasting place in Tank histories. Its story j of development through types is eminentU- understandab'e, and the many illustrations of theso types, of battlefield I conditions, and of tlir great njCTL in th.. movement, are all ediieative and excel- lent. But probably its thief interest aud value will be in its exposure of the forcot, which mechanical wanare in general, and tank, in particular, had to fight at tlie War Office: generals who" new nothing of either red tape and service traditions. There might be a reply to this comprehensive statement, this array of appeals and warnings in letters to Mr. Lloyd George and others-dispassionate, although tlie author, in i (lie business from the- very first, ultimately lost his job to an Admiral w ho had not seen a ) tank!—but this much can h? safely t;aid: j His condemnations of the early disclosure of the invention, use ot it in mud, and I inadequate nnmbers, were shared by all thoughtful men in the Tanks Colln..

r RIVAL BLUES. The King Sees Oxford Lose. j The King and Prince Henry were pre- sent at the Queen's Club on Tuesday, I when the Rugby match between the Uni- versities of Oxford and Cambridge was I won by Cambridge by 7 points to o. His Majesty arrived at 12 minutes past 2, and watched the game with the keenest in- terest throughout. Included in the teams were Oswald Jenkins (University College, Aberystwyth, Jesus, and Swansea), and the Rey. W. T. HavaTd (University Col- lege, Aberystwyth, Jesus, and Lianelly), playing for Oxford; and J. M. Clem Lewis (Bridgend County School, St. Catherine's I and Cardiff), playing for Cambridge. During the first half several brilliant bouts of passing were shown by the Ox- ford threequarters, but the Cambridge ¡ forwards were great, and their rushes down the field always looked dangerous. Following a punt by Clem Lewis Cam- ¡ bridge da-shed to the goal line, where a penalty was awarded, and Lewis kicked a goal. Oxford again attacked. Scrim- mages followed in front of the Cambridge soal. Jenkins hit the bar with a splen- did drop, but at length Young and Lewis got their threes away, Saxon being tackled near the line. At half-time the Light Blues led by three points to nil. Oxrod early gained the lead in the second half, Crole kicking over tlie line and foI- ling up to touch down. Waldock added the extra points. After this it was a grim struggle, and the winning points were obtained by Smallwood dropping a lovely goal. On the whole Cambridge were somewhat fortunate to win. Cambridge play Swansea to-morrow). MOG PUGH UNLUCKY. 1 At Manchester last evening the main feature was a 1.1 rounds contest between Jack Doyle (Salford) and Mog Pugh (Aberavon), who met at 8st. 6ibs. Doyle was the taller and plied a long left, Pugh replying with heavy digs to the body. The Welsh lad forced the work, and tak- ing many of Doyle's leads on his gloves, he got in heavy blows to the body, while Doyle got home Twice to the head. As the bout progressed Pugh continued to at- tack, and possessing an excellent guard the Salford lad's leads missed their ob- jective frequently. The affair was cleanly contested, and went the full distance, when, to the general surprise, Doyle was declared the winner. The Welsh lad was unlucky to be non-suited, the verdict not being entirely popular. TRAMWAYS A.F.C.

CARDIFF CAPTAIN RESIGNS. rlf L- ranK tiaccou, tin; » '■i"«'1,1 the. Cardiff Club, \has resigned. Gaccon was one of those players who put his heart and soul into his work, and despite manv reverses this season he never despaired of buildiug up a te-aiii worthy of maintaining the highest traditions of the club. Unfortunately, however, hefore the Northern tour he sustained a grievous injury which was likely to keep him out nf the field for a long period. Under the circumstances Gaccon thought it advis- able to tender his resignation, and the Cardiff Committee on Monday accepted it with regret. As a result, Wick Powell has been selected captain, and Willie •Tonkins vice-captain. REFEREES FOR SATURDAY.

A single woman named Elizabeth Davies, aged 40 years, of 28, Charles- street, Britonferry, has been missing from her home since Saturday last, and news of her whereabouts are anxiously awaited by her mother, who is ananvalid in bed. Miss Davies recently bad a eevere attack of influenza, from which slo never recovered, and this appears to have been preying on her mind, On Sunday morning, her cousin at Baglan received a letter from her witti the Aberavon postmark, in which she stated that this was her last letter, and that she could not stand it any longer. and that she was going on her last journey. She asked her cousin to look j after her mother, who is so ill. The missing woman was rather tali, with dark hair turning grey, and was of sallow complexion. She wore an old brown coat and black skirt, and a wide- brimmed liat. t

REtURNSD HEROES. I Traditions of the Eagle Tin f Works. Amongst the many functions held a I the Eagle Tin Work* canteen, the cele- bration of the return of the boys from Mio war was voted by one and all the most successful. The mills section of the works decided to present the members of "th<>f:" uniou—-I? in number—trith a gold"nH,<hll each, duly inscribed, and the employers •! .subscribed handsomely towards them. The manager (Mr. F. W. Gibbins) pre- sided over a gathering of 150, and he was aocompanied by Mrs. Gibbins and Master Bevington Rhys Gibbins, and Mr. Pan Watkins. member of the Industrial Council. The Chairman said he felt proud to think that '!o many of them answered th« call of duty, and he was thankful that so i-nany of them had returned so fe and sound. Tlie-z all mourned the lof.s cf tbov that had made the supreme sacrifr.

He only hoped that the traditions of the Ea,-zle for workmanship, good feeling, and mutual re:-rpoct, would be upheld by the young generation that sat before liim. Mrs. Gibbins presented each of the boys 7-ith a medal and a cigarette case full of t-mokes. The Secretary (Mr. Daniel Bees) r-p- gretted that the photograph cf all tho boys, winch they intended presenting to Mrs. Gibbins, as a token of their grariturla.- J for thA great number of parcels they re- | oeived in their diig-ckuts and on their ships, was not ready.
