SPORTING. ) [FROM OUR SPORTING CORRESPONDENT.] I LONDON, Thursday. The Jockey Club to all appearances seems to have dealt rather harshly with Mr Abingt-'n, in announcing that if Gurry continues to train for that gentleman rider a license will not be granted him as tramer at Newmarket. Mr Abinton has taken Bedford Lodge off The Duchess of Montrose's hands, and it seems rather hard that, after deciding to take up his r'!8idenc at Newmarket, hM horses should have to be trained elsewhere. Most probably the hordes of this gentleman will be transferred to Humphreys, of Lambourne. who acts as trainer for Mr Pt ck. Crim Tartar, Lyric, Vatjean. and Necromancer are the latest addition to the stud. On Monday last several anima!s were sent up from the Manton stables, and they included Buchanan and Royal Angus. Mr Tattersall could hardly net a bid for either, eventua"v the former fetched 125 guineas, and the latter 130 guineas. Both will be shipped to the Cape of Good Hope. Lord Sefton. who was now and then 1 supported for the Dnncaster St. Lzger. was sold to Mr Bambndge fw 310 guineas. GALOPIN. I

J THE WELSH CHALLENGE CUP. I SECOND ROUND. CASTLE BLCEB (SHREWSBURY) V. NEWTOWN.—These teams met at Shrewsbury on Saturday. The game was a most exciting one, and was vigorously contested. The tie terminated in favor of the visitors by two goals to one. The home team. however, lodged a protest against the decision of the referee as to a goal they alleged ought to have been credited to their honor. CHIRK v. RHOSTYLLEN.—Played at Chirk on Satur. day. After a somewhat one-sided game the home I team proved victorious by four goals to none.

I SHROPSHIRE CHALLENGE CUP. ) SECOND ROUND. I OswESTRY v. HORSEHAY.—The tie between these ciubs was played at Oawestry on Saturday, in the presence of a iarge company of spectators. During the 6rst half the Oawestrians placed Sve gcals to their credit, and after ends had been changed they added four other points to their number, the visitor? failing I to secure a single goal.

I DENBIGHSHIRE CUP TIE. t I FIRST RoCt<D. j GROSVENOR V. OLYMPIC (WREXHAM.)-Tb' ma' h had been looked forward to with no !ii,le ht rest by lovers of the game, on account of the combatants being connected with Wrexham. The match tooK place on the Racecourse, in the presence of a fair attendance of spectators. From the kick off the Olympic made a smart attack on the Grosvenor strong- hold, the defenders of which, however, playing a plucky game, soon compelled Heywood to use his hands. After some all-round play, the Olympic team succeeded in placing the ball between the uprights. Ends having been changed, the" juniors fell away considerably, and their rivals succeeded in placing five other goals to their credit. It was owing to the 6ne defence of Copleston in goal, and S. Jones as back, that they did not increase their already !? 'ge score, and when time was called the Olympic were victors by six to none. For the Olympic, Roberts, Burke, and Wilding played best; and for the Gros- venor, Copleston, S. Jones, Price, and I. Williams were mos conspicuous.

FOOTBALL NOTES. I Wrexham Olympic had a very easy task on hand on Saturday-in the first round of the Denbighshire Challenge Cup-with the Grosvenor, whom they put out of the competition by six goals to none. I should have liked to have seen the younger club drawn against one of its own strength in the nrst round, so as to encourage them a little, but the luck was against them, and their fate was decided in the 6rst tie. This was their nrst appearance in any cup com- petition, and I hope that instead of being disheartened by their defeat of last Saturday, they will keep the team together-as they have the making of a pretty fair one, too—and perhaps next season they may prove a Furprise to some of their opponents. On Saturday they played a most ducky game all through, and though they were oefeated by such a large number of goals, I think their efforts deserved a better reward. A word of praise is due to the goal. keeper, H. Copleston, for the way in which he defended his charge. He kept goal in a really nist- class manner, and the way in which he stopped some of the most dimcult shots was quite a treat. He was ably assisted at back by S. Jones, who pIa) ed a very fair game, and it was certainly not through any fault of theirs that the team was defeated. The Olympic were not able to place the whole of their first team on the field, and had to draw upon their second eleven to the extent of four men. These performed in a very creditable manner, and fully justified their selection, especially Vaughan and A. Lea. the latter of whom put in some splendid shots, and shows promise of turning out to be a forward of no mean ability. All the old hands played a fair game-Roberts on the wing, and Hayes, who played half-back first time, being about the best. A meeting of the English Association was held on Monday evening, at the offices of the Association, London. The third round of the Challenge Cup was drawn with the following result, as far as our division is concerned :-Leek v. Queen's Park, Newtown or Druids v. Chirk. To be played on or before the 3rd of January next. The Queen's Park have another easy tie, and their entry into the fourth round is certain. They were pretty fortunate in the other two rounds in being the nrst out of the hat, but this time they will have the pleasure of a journey to Stafford- shire. I see the Druids managed to work their case so as to get another chance to play the tie with New- town, which they were ordered to do by to-day (Saturday). I don't think Newtown will be so veiy sorry at the result, either, as, besides having share of a good gate to recoup them for their present losses, they have the advantage of playing the match on their own ground, and, unless I am very much mis- taken in them, they will about win it, too. There were two ties in the second round of the Welsh Challenge Cup division last Saturday. Nea- town journeyed to Shrewsbury to meet the Castle Blues, who, I think, proved rather more formidable than what they expected. The game was very evenly contested all through, both sides scoring a goal in the nrst half. Soon after the change of ends Newtown again scored, but towards the close of the game, the Blues, who had been working very hard, managed to make the game equal. The visitors protested that the ball went outaide the posts, and. according to the reports published, the referee ruled it no goal, upon which the home team lodged a protest against the referee's decision.—Chirk, as I expected they would when they got them on their own ground, soon put the Rhostyllenout of the competition.'and the Victoria had to return home defeated by four goals and two disputed to none. It was rather a rough game, I believe, and I am told that one or two of the Rhos. tyilen men got knocked about a bit before the finish. A general meeting of the Football Association of Wales was held on Wednesday evening, at the Wynn- stay Arms Hotel, Ruabon. Mr Gough, Osweatry, occupied the chair. The meeting was called by the Bangor club. for the purpose of rescinding the minute of the previous committee meeting, as to the elegibility of one of their players, who was protested against by Rhyl. The Bangor representative proposed that the decision of the meeting be rescinded. After some discussion, the meeting came to the conclusion that the decision of the committee was right, and decided to uphold it. This leaves Carnarvon, who have de- feated Rhyl, the winners of the division.—After the general meeting a committee was held, at which Mr Gough again presided, for the purpose of considering the protest laid by the Castle Blues, Shrewsbury, against the decision of the referee in the case of a dis. puted goal in their cup tie with Newtown on Satur- day. The referee stated that he did not see the ball going between the posts, and, as according to rule, the deci. eion of the referee in all cases must be final, the Castle Blues were declared to. have lost the protest. The match was therefore awarded to Newtown. I BZFBBEB.

SiR,—Everyone who has the good fortune to know the hardworking Rector of Hawarden (the Rev.

SiB,—Having read, week after week. the correspon- dence which has appeared in your journal in refer- ence to opening the Free Library on Sundays, I have been surprised at the arguments advocated in favour of what is chiefly termed the working men." Now, Sir, it occurrs to me as a working man that the class alluded to are not at all anxious to have the Library opened on Sundays. Mr Alderman Jones made a good point when he said that he aAouM not bring the matter forward again unless the pressure came from !pt<AoM<. If the working men of the town were desir- ous to have the Library open on Sundays, they would, I assure you, not be backward in advocating the supposed boon. Being a working man, I naturally associate with those of the same class as myself, and all whom I have heard express themselves in reference to the subject have condemned such an undertaking in strong terms as politely saddling the want" (?) or excuse for such, on the working men; when I ven- ture to assert by far the greater majority are opposed to such an extension. Some of your correspondents appear to imagine that working men's homes in Wrex. ham are void of every comfort, and that to escape such on Sundays the remedy will be found in opening the Free Library. To insinuate such is a gross libel. The pleasure, not displamure, of being at home, es. pecially on a Sunday, is admirably expressed in the following lines:— From our own setves our joy must Bow, And that dear spot our home." We can no more make men studious and intellectual by opening Free Libraries and Museums on Sundays than we could make them teetotal by Act of Parlia- ment. If men are really desirous of having intoxi- cants on Sundays, they will find a way, by fair means or foul, to procure such. in spite of the Sunday Clos. ing Act, or even the opening of the Free Library on Sundays.—I am, &c., Decr. 16th, 1884. A WORKING MAN. SiB,—I wish to correct a mistake that occur. red in my letter of the 13th mat., it was owing to its being re-written by another person before being for. warded to you. I would not like it to be thought I approved of the opening of museums. Ac., on a Sun- day. I think the line ought certainly to be drawn at Free Libraries, and those not to be open during the hours of divine service; nor do I think anything that can be construed into an entertainment should be pro. vided, unless it is entirely of a sacred character, such as the Sunday Concerts at Rugeley, and they partake more of the nature of sermons in song. But in the Library there is a solemn, peaceful hush, quite in harmony with the stillness of the Sabbath; and though a concert of hymns and spiritual songs may convey more direct religious teaching, the silence of the Library will be more in accordance with the feel- ings of many for the day of rest. I noticed in your paper of of the 6th inst. a letter signed E. M. J. advocating the introduction of special literature for Sunday. This is a capital idea if it can be carried out; and I think if some of those who are interested in the movement were to canvass the town for gifts of books and periodicals, specially suitable for Sunday reading, it would greatly facili- tate the accomplishment of their scheme. 1-i this way they might gradually weed the Librarv of anv. thing they may consider unfit for the day. No doubt there will be considerable difference of opimon as to what is unsuitable, but of course concessions must be made on both sides. I hope the subject will not be allowed to drop, as I am convinced that at no very distant time Wrexham wiU be glad it was ever mooted.—I am, &c., A NATIVE. THE CHORAL AND PHILHARMONIC I SOCIETIES. SiR,—The jealousy that exists between the above Societies has risen to such a pitch as to cause some of their members to forget themselves, and be utterly regardless of the feelings and character of others. th3 coincidence of the cantata the Daughter of Jairus being performed elsewhere than in \V.xhtt'll at the time it was rendered by the Choral Society, the further coincidence of the full score of th( ;antata being in M.S. and on loan. the still further amt stranger coincidence that it was procured through the firm of Messrs. Bayley and Co., of Wrexham, has formed the basis of a charge which has been widely circulated against Mr W. A. Bayley and myself, of having wilfully and maliciously sought to deprive the conductor of the Choral Society of the use of the full score mentioned at their recent concert, and the practices for the same. My object in asking you to be good enough to publish this letter is to atatf and to prove that there is absolutely no foundation for such a base charge, In August I received from a friend in Melbourne a letter in whieh he asked me to be good enough to obtain fur him a copy of each of the wind and string parts of the "Daughter of Jairus." This was supplemented by a later letter, wherein he wished me to order 5 doz. copies of the cantata, a few extra instrumental copies, and the fult score in M.S. These were procured through Messrs. Bayley, and despatched in October. I think these facts are sumeient to convince the most prejudiced mind that the transaction was conducted in the ordinary way of business and in a bona fide manner. The correspondence between my friend and myself relating to the cantata, and all other correspondence relating to the shipment of the parcel, together with the receipt given on payment of the account by me, was shown to Mr Knight, the secretary of the Choral Society, and some of the papers left with him to be laid before his committee. Will you permit me to suggest that the members of these choirs who indulge in such abuse as I have mentioned, should turn their attention to the object for which the societies exist, rather than that cf seeking to spread false reports about the town, and that the spirit of bitterness which appears to exist as evidenced by correspondence in last week's edition of your local contemporary, and such charges as the one I complain of, may be exchanged for that of friendly rivalry. Apologising for trespassing so much upon your columns,—I am, &C., JOHN DAVIES. 40, Cambridge Terrace. Hirdir, Dec. 18th, 1884. THE CORWEN MAGISTRATES' COURT. I SiB,—Happening to be at Corwen last Friday, and having a little time on hand, I turned into Court to hear what was taking place, and as usual it was one of those paltry, and I may say property, cases which bring authority and law into contempt by the mass of the population. Some day at the end of last month, a man in an official capacity was proceeding along the high road with two others, not far from Corwen, about a quarter to six in the evening, when they heard the squeaking of a rabbit. The omcial and one of the two others jumped over the fence in the direction of the noise, and a dog also was on the same track. The official it seems was the 6r<t on the spot, and he took the rabbtt and carried it in h s hands towards the high road. On reaching the road one of the honorable protectors of order was with open arms ready to receive him, and he demanded the rabbit, which was very reluctantly given up. It turned out in cross-examination that the dog be- longed to, or was with, the P.C. The man who caught the rabbit was summoned, and his case as specined was before the Court last Friday. It appears that the owner of the land on which the rabbit was caught was Canon Richardson, who, as a gentleman, wished that the case for the prosecution should be with. drawn, but no, the man of order and law could not entertain such a proposition. He was asked by the advocate twice in public Court if he conscientiously believed that the man was on the neld for poaching purposes, and he answered he could not say. Well one thing is very certain, I don't believe there was another person in Court that believed it was poaching. It was a thing done under the impulse of the moment, and which any one might do. There were two magistrates on the Bench, and they retired for consultation, and were away I should say a good half- hour. The advocate said there was a law passed in 1879 which gave the magistrates in such a case as was before them power to dismiss it. That being so, common Mnae would say at once, without two minutes' hesitation, We dismiss it." However, the detendant was 6ned la and costs. I maintain most positively that if it was in the power of the magis- tratfs to dismiss the case the man ought not to have been (ined. And these sort of decisions do more to set the lower and middle classes against the higher than anything imaginable. If the magistrates conid not help themselves, I do not blame them for doing their duty only one thing is very clear that if that is the law it wants to be altered or repealed. And thank goodneaa we have had a grand reform Act passed which gives an additional two millions of people power to vote as to who shall go to Parlia- ment to make laws, and I fully calculate that the new voters will send men up to the House of Commons that will have more regard for laws as adding human beinca rather than rabbits, &c. WUt you please insert a paragraph at foot to say if it wa<< in the power of the magistrates to dismiss the case ?—I am, &c., HUMANITY. THE DISESTABLISHMENT MOVEMENT AT THE RHOS, AND THE CLERGY THERE. SiB,—I never see the Clergy of Wales engaged in an attempt to defend the connection between Church and State anywhere, but especially in the Principality, without thinking of that gallant, but usually un* fortunate band of warriors, called "The Forlorn Hope." The abuses that they must ignore, are ao terrible and scandalous, that they have not the ghost of a chance. If one fade,4 from the public memory, as a nine days' wonder, another takes its place. "Scratch a Russian," said a witty writer. and you reveal a Tartar." Remove the external skin of a State Church, and you 6nd the dry rot in timbers that have not been renewed for three centuries. Such a forlorn hope was spen last week, when Mr Edwards and hM clerical brethren met such antagonists as Mr Fisher and Mr Ppinther James at Rbos. They were indeed men of more courage than discretion. But if there are in the ranks of the clergy, men who defend the connection between Church and State, there are those who have as much courage and far more wisdom. They are men who do not love their own barn" and itw tithe drawn produce better than the Father's purified mansion of prayer and truth. It is to the utterances of these men, who have indeed the courage of their opinions, to which I would direct the attention of your readers. All honor to them for such utterances. From what Mr Edwards said, one would think that he never read any paper but the Gua2-dian or the purely clerical prints. One would think that there was no such thing M active, living, hearty Episcopacy, in the world, save in connection with the British State. Now this is the very contrary to the fact as regards the Anglo-Saxon, if not the purely English race. Almost exactly 100 years have elapsed since the connection between Episcopacy and the State was, in the then North American colonies, rudely severed by war and revolution. From those ashes the Protestant Episcopal Church rose like a phcenix and renewed its youth like the eagle. At a meeting of ecclesiastics recently, I think in London, the great fact was alluded to, and connrmed, several American Bishops and several English Bishops being present. About fifty years ago the same severance took place in Canada, where the clergy reserves were dealt with on new and equitable principles, and with perfect religious equality among all sects. Sixteen years ago, across the channel, Mr Gladstone with the consent of a reformed House of Commons, in a country, denominationally speaking, the model of Wales, separated Church and State for ever. In every instance the laity were admitted toj their proper share in Church government, and the prayer book was at once taken in hand, not treated like a Koran, the creed of cursing" being immediately removed. But let us say little of countries and colonies like Canada, the- Cape, and Australia, and turn to Ireland. A very brief confirmation of the prosperity of the Episcopal Church in the United States, from the mouth of an English clergyman at Southampton, the Rev. K. Coehrane, who M rector of Langden. will sumce. In America, he said (9th March, 1884), there was no connection between Church and State, and yet the Church went on everywhere in vigorous life and progress. The Bishops were appointed by no particular party, but by the true voice of the living Church of Christ, and the clergy- men were appointed upon a plan which had never been known to cause scandal, confusion, or reproach. People gave to the Church, as though they loved to do it, and altogether in the matter of living, working, and praying, the English Church had a great deal to learn from her strong daughter across the sea." Now as to Ireland. On the 14th July last, the Rev. John Grimth, a clergyman at Merthyr, of more than 40 years standing, J.P., rural dean. Surrogate, in a parish with 18.000 souls, wrote a long and interesting letter on Disestablishtnent, not his first. I will extract a few passages from it. He says he has for 40 years tried to reform the Welsh Church, but in vain, but it was not till after a visit all over Ireland, or the greater part of it, in 1878, and after contrasting what I saw then with what I knew from "ccular demonstration, the Church was in Ireland in 1858. I became at once a disestabliahmentarian. buffice it to say, let scoffers laugh if they like, I do honestly believe disestablishment will tend to the good of Wales amongst all denominations. God knowa we all want it, and you as a Nonconformist must admit that. Will any one say that the clergy's demeanor to their dissenting brethren is anything else than that of the greatest A<tM<:<Mr and hostility ? Is it not a fact, that a Welsh clergyman would a great deal rather shake hands with a Popish Priest than with a brother Dissenter in the ministry."

It increases the appetite and the strength as well, stops the distress after eating, and makes life worth living for. It is not claimed to be a cure-all, but a certain remedy for indigestion. For asthma an effective cure will be found in the Rosin- weed Tar Mixture. SEiGEL's OPERATING PiLLS are the best family physic that has ever been discovered. They cleanse the bowels from all irritating substances, and leave them in a healthy condition. 7 ADVERTISING is a science, and although it to b* coming to be recognized as a primary and unavoidable expense in the prosecution of any business enterprise and sometimes the only capital in many undertakings, still there are very few who realty appreciate its im- mense importance, or realize the wonders it is capable of performing.

THE MORNING STAR OF THE REFORMATION.* JohndeWycliffe, "The M'.rning SaroftheRe. formation." having risen in 1324, set 6J years after- wards at Lutterwmth, the place: where he laboured for years comparatively few in number, bat crowded with deeds than were to be immortal. True it M, that his body does not rest in English ground, for it was ruthlessly disinterred, and its calcined ashes were caat Mto the nearest stream, and by it borne to "the great and wide sea." Into a wider sea of human intelli* gence, the thoughts breathed by the living man, and the burning words from the living mouth were to be borne too. The story of Wycliffe's lifework before us, ia frum the pen of Miss Emily Holt, an authoress who, with a judicious mixtufe of lively fancy and historical truth, has iHastrated in the form of a atory nearly every era in English history. Wyctine.the nr"t Ens!i«h reformer and the nrst English translator of the Bible, was, we are totd, borne in Yorkshire at a place bearing his name in 1324, the exact ortho. ¡ graphy of his name being doubtful. On the southern b <nk of the Tees. and at the very edge of the North Hiding, where the county of York joins that of Durham, in a fair and fertile vaUey of remarkable loveli- ness, with grand ragged hiMs on every side, ties the village of Wyclitfe, so small that it has no place in the postal guide, having in 1853 less than ZOO souls. The church i' towerlesa, and partially covered «'th ivy, and on a higa bank near it, stands the old manor house, the family seat of the ancient lords of WycHNe. Except in the female line, the family has died out; its last male died aboutthe beginning of the 17th century, aud strange to say, to the !ast, the lords <f Wycliffe Manor remained Romanists. The little KomMh chapel, which on Sundays holds about half the inhabitants of the Iitt!e village, stands on the high bank by the side of the Manor House. Theprophet was, least of all, accepted in his own country, but the family has not perished without leaving its mark on hMtory, for its one so't. who rose to eminence, became famous in ma'ty lands and for all time. It was probably about the year 1338 or 1340, when he was sent to Oxford. We next nnd him in 1349 as Rector of FiMingham, a small Lincolnshire parish, at the aame time being Master of the college where he had studied. He retained this position for about three years, and then removed to Queen's, still holding for a time tus benence. As to pluralities and non.residence, we read— The 14th century was an age of pluralities. The famous William de Wykeham held no less than twelve livings, on none of which he resided, t'eing obliged to live continually at Court as private secretary to the King. Hereafter John Wyc!.ce was to Sght manfully against pluralities, but it ia unlikely ttmt his future opinions on the question had dawned upon his mind so tarly as 13SI. It is doubtful whether he ever livfd at FiMingham in term time, though perhaps during vacation. It's a certainty that on the 13th April, 1368. ttcense for non-residence was granted to him for two years, that he might devote himself more com- pletely to his University studies. But whether this license were exceptional or not I leave to the reader's judgment. The tatter appears less probable, as in November, 1368, WycliS< exchanged his beneuce of FHlingham for Ludgers- hati, in Buckinghamshire, the last being nearer Oxford. Misa Holt gives an interesting picture or <<tM<:<Mt M'Mtnt of the meeting of Parliament, on the 4th May, 1368, to consider a d?mand as tribute of 1000 marks by Pope Urban. King Edward put it to them whether it should be granted. We give the scene entire :— Let us picture bringing all our various details of inform. ation tha momentous meeting of Parliament. The nrst day they sat in Westminster Hall together, and om the next, the Prelates went to the white, and the Commons to the painted chamber. At the top of the great ha!l stood the throne covered with red, embroidered with cloth of i:otd, the colors of E"g!and, and on it the King, for a Piantagenet King was never absent from the deliberations of his great councH, either in person, or by deputy, clad probably in a red robe, covered with golden lions, the arms of England, or blue. powdered with golden lilies, those of France. He wou!d assuredly wear crown aad bear see tre, and perhaps orb. as we)l. On his right down the hall, sat the hierarchy, 19 in number—not as now in modest Mack and white, merely, but gorgeously arrayed in robes of Mue, re't, titac, nink, and any other colour, except that they at ways showed on & white bosom, that of an inner robe. They were b.t' eheaded, or worer hood, close and warm. Be'ow, down the hall, were 23 mitred abbots, next two priors, and !ast two masters of arts specially summoned, one of whom thete is every reason to suppose, wa John Wyctiue. On the !eft of the throne sat the peers, Rrst ten earls, and 41 barons, not in any distinctive parliamentary robe, as in the Tudor era. but in a long root Cowing to the feet, of any color or mixture of colors, girt about the hips and embroidered with gold n.ures or with gold buttons. the sleeve moderately tight, the hose particolored, the shoes pointed, and a blue garter visible where it waa en. titled to be wcrn A I! their heads would be bare, and the bait woutd be moderately long, the beard forked or pointed. Then came the faithful commons, the knights of the shire, aud the burgesses or borough members. WycliSe appears to been the reporter of the debates, and there were seven great speeches, some of much interest, it being nnally voted that no Italian Priest should tithe or toll in our dominions so decidedly, that the claim was never after repeated in a direct form. There is strong reason to believe that Wycliffe spoke on the question, though he did not report his own speech, also that he was one of the Parliament, as he was violently attacked on that account, by an unknown monk afterwards. He now became Rector of Ludgershall for a time. Lutterworth was then conferred upon him by King Edward. From his position as rector, he was called to The Good Parliament as it waa named, which sat from 1372 to 1377, which changed the succession to the throne and conferred it on Richard the 2nd. But it did a great deal more, and stated grievances so great, that they deserve, had we space for them, mention in detail. In this Parliament, Wycline was nrst accused of heresy. He had begun to identify himself with the Lollards. He had for his enemy. Courtenay, Primate of all England, and through his means was summoned to appear before Convocation, and to defend himself in the Lady Chapel. There waa a great quarrel whether he should stand, or be allowed to sit, between the Primate and the Duke of Lancaster, and the Court was adjourned in consequence, MMedtS. He went back to Lutterworth and fulBIled there, t<t the letter and spirit, the part of the good parson, described by his friend, Geoffrey Chaucer, the earliest of Eng- land's poets. He now occupied himself in drawing up his famous theses, in which he largely anticipated Luther, and which were levelled mainly against the Pope. The old king had hitherto protected, him and so did the new king, through his guardians. To Wycline, now a man of mark, it was referred as to an eminent counsel, whether a diHerent form of the Pope's demands should be resisted or not, and he aaid it should be. He was again attacked by the Arch- bishop. He was, on this occasion, summoned to Lambeth to defend himself, and, again, by the direct command of the Princess of Wales, the Court was forbidden to proceed, or to pronounce anything in the form of a sentence," against the said John." WycHRe now comes before the world in a new and more glorious light, as translator of the BiHe. He had written tract after tract, against the abuses of the clergy, and preached sermon after sermon at Lutter- worth, especially against transubstantiation. He was now to open up the oracle from which a!I truth was to be delivered, and to make the Scriptures accessible for the first time though in manuscript to the English people in their own ton /u' Portions of the Psalter had been translated into the vernacular of the day, but never the whole Bib!e, and he began with the New Testament. Miss Holt gi:ves ua some of the translation in its quaint and interesting word forma- tion. He was aided by various friends, and it was completed in two years. In 1382 the peasant war broke out, in which Jack Straw and Wat Tyier are noted characters, also the priest John Ban, who shared their fate. A curious coincidence exists between the charge against WycIiSe, as connected with Ball's teachings, and that against Luther, a. century and a half later, in connec. tion with the Ana-baptists, and )the revolt of the peasants in Germany. Courtenay, his sti!! inveterate enemy, had him summoned to a solemn convention. as an arch heretic, on the 18th Mny, but he appear. Then occurred a strange c'tinr-idence. While they were waiting t" try the man who was shake ecclesiastical potentates «nd p'wcrs, nne nf the severest e 'rthqnakes ev.'r in Enlanif, rocked the hall. I" two days there was another shock, and London, which then contained 35,000 inhabitants, was alarmed. WycHSe bad been preaching against the iniquities of the city. which the bishops aaid it was their oSice, and another attempt was made to entrap Mm by a crafty proclamation, for arresting all preachers of heresy. They ignored the Commons altogether, aa they knew they would never pass the Act authorising it, hut were sure of the Lords, where it passed at once, and the boy king waa told it had passed both Houses, and gave it the Royal Assent. none of hia guardians being by. No time was lost in putting the surreptitiously obtained Act into opera- tion. The Chancellor of Oxford received a mandate, directing him to inhibit WvcIiSe and four othera from preaching, and to publish the notice on St. Mary's Church. Of these proceedings Wycliife and one of his friends took not the slightest notice, but the less important Loltard preachers, aa Wyctine's followers were called, were silenced It is an interesting constitutional fact, that the House of Commons, on its next meeting, repealed the fraudu- lent statute. But Courtenaywas not baulked by this, and summoned WycHSe for the fourth time, 18th November, 1382. He is only supposed to have appeared. It is certain that he addressed the King and Parliament on four important points, and that the Convocation heard Ms written views about the Eucharist, which were heretical to them in the highest degree. Before he coutd return home he was struck down by paralyais, and seemed on the point of death, but just as some mendicant friars waited for hia recantation, he sat up in bed and said, I shall not die but live. and declare the works of n& Lord." He lived for two years longer, pouring out during the interval, successive attacks on the entire order of the Hierarchy. One of these waa against a new crusade, to which the Bishops are aaid to have subscribed a ton of gold! At this time he took a curate. John Horn. a'* helpful Joshua to this aged Moses." An equally faithful Mend and helper, John Pasey. who had helped him to translate the Bible, assisted him, and it is probably to them that we owe the preservation of so many of his ser. mons. These were of the most outspaken character, and attacked fearlei;s!y the whole order of the priest- hood. Yet, somehow, from fear or forbearance, he was left unharmed, and escaped imprisonment and Sre. The biographer gives the following account of his death— On Innocent's Day, 1384, he attended ma-<s in Lutter- worth Church as usual, aud spoke to someone as he came in. Little they can have thought, who watched the stepa of the o!d man, with the long white hair, bearing hM silver headed statl. that It was the last time they woutd ever watch him in this world. The Rector did not omciate Mr Horn performed the whole service. But just after th< words of consecration were pronounced, and as the curate wa-t elevating the paten, the Rector, who sat in his customary chair at the north end of the holy taMe, was seen to sink heavily to the ground. Kindly hands were about the old man in an instant, seeking to know from himself what his sudden ailment might be. But it was too sadly apparent that a second stroke of paralysis had deprived the reformer of all power of speech. The radiant eyes glanced from one to another, showing that the spirit within was as unclouded as ever; but the powerful v"'C3 which had rocked the throne of the Vatican, had uttered its last word. till it should burst into the new song of Moses and of the Lamb. The biographer extracts from Wycline's numerous sermons, written for his itinerant priests, his views on many points quite new to the reformers of the present day. He appears to have been the 6rst of voluntaries, and condemned afl en- dowments, saying Christ left not to his discip!eg, either rents, houses, or worldly goods. At the same time, Ihe exhorts his disciples to be liberal in their voluntary oSerings, Hennda fault with "thia here t' i? incensing and crying (or intoning) aa a prieat'apooe socvice, and no:profigta'ble to the soul." Re wondera )"how men can praise this new praying withgrea<6 cryMg and high song, and leave the still manner ot praying, as Christ and his Apostles did." He cer. tatniy was no Mend to the choral services called hearty." but which are more correctly ear pleasing To Latin services he ia equally opposed. Hedis. approved of apostolic succession." He did not separate priest and people, but held that every ChnsttamsapriesttoGod, andhaa as much powet aa Fope or preiate. He thoroughly approved, though I he dted unmarried, of priests marrying, like othee tmen, and disapprovea of family confessora and: pnvate cbcplains, as lovers of good: dinners, and easy cL al:'8" of high titles and fuM pay. He atrongly condemned the refusat of thecte'gy to submit to the decisions ot Civit Courts. Be has ewen some sensible remarks on Trader Unions, and ringa or corners, as they are now called,, and their abuses. He condemned the sale of advow. sons. the consecration of cemeteries and churches, and auriculae confesaion. He condemns monasticismdt and disapproves of holy water, of fasting; communion, and of pilgrimages. Such were some of the opiniona of the Morning Star of the Reformation. At the present day the study of his life and characterised the greatest value. It is remarkable for its parallel toa L, uther'ti life. One was, protectedby John of Gaunt, and others, the other by the Elector of Saxony, an<t spared by Charlea the Fifth. Both were devoid of personal fear, and unwearied with pen and in speech. In the era of each, there was a terrible revolt of the! miserable and down-trodden peasantry, and each was falsely implicated with it. BotbJ though sur- rounded by bitter and powerful foes, died a natural death, and last, but not least, both translated for their fellowmen the sacred Scriptures.

I PRIZE DAY AT RUABON GRAMMAR SCHOOL. Sir Watkin, Williams Wynn, Bart.. M.P, presided on Wednesday, at a meeting of the governors of this achool, and afterwarda made bis annual distribution of prizes to the boys. The books were of the usual costly description, and were presented as foUows :— Patey'a Aeschylus—J. R. Roberts. Shakespeare, by Clarke-C. Morris. Hydym'a DictMnaty of, Dates—R. smitii. Wooirs:MammaHa-D. Edwards. Michete'sBird—R. Edwarda. Diacovenes of the 19th Cantary—R. T,e!ghton. Pitgnma Progress (UIuatrated)—W Jones. Shipwrecks and Disasters of the Sea—Pryce Evans. Aoderson'a Faify Tales' E. J. Edwards. In addition to the above books; two handsome volumes of Sophocles, the gift of Lord Derby, were presented to Mr J. R. Roberts, Rhos, a promising pupil at this school, to whom they had been awarded for his place in the 6rst-c!asa at the last Oxford local examinations at the Liverpool centre. Re was also highly distinguished in French; Greek, and Divinity, and it ought not to ba omitted that this same boy gained last mid-summer a scholarship at the North Wates College of Bangor, of the vatue of JE30 pee year, but owing to his being under the prescribed agw he cou!d not retain it. He was the youngest candidate of all the competitors, being only 15 years of age. The examiner, the Rev. P. W. Sparling, MLA.. (late head mastee of the Gloucester Cathedral School, formerly senior mathematical master of King's College School, London, and scholar of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge) spoke highly of the Classical. Mathe- matical. and modem language status of the school. Sir Watkin, in presenting the prizes to the success- ful pupMs, expressed the great satisfaction he felt at being present on that occasion to meet the boys. He believed that was the twenty-eighth time he had met them under similar circumstances, and it was a great pleasure to him to hear such an excellent report of the school, a report which, he said, was no exception to those of previous years. After congratulating Me Taylot on his eSbrts, he gave all the pupils some sound advtce, pointing out to them the de- sirability, in these days of universal education, of making the best use they possibly could of the advantages which they were capable of enjoying at the schools, urging them, above all things, not to neglect that study of the old languages, especially Latin, which was the foundation of so many others. (Applause.) The Rev. A, L. Taylor. head- master, then announced that the Governors at their meeting had elected the following boys to foundation scholarships for the year 1885 :—J. R. Roberts, J. Bushby, E. W. Foutkes, C. Morris, and R. Leighton. A vote of thanks to the worthy baronet for his kind- ness in again presenting the prizes was given amidst much cheering, on the motion of Lieut.-Co!. Barnes, and Mr Charles Hughes, Wrexham, addressed the scholar.- in appropriate and, encouraging terms. The Rev. W. Fuulkes proposed a vote of thanks to the Examinier, which was seconded by Mr Barnes, and carfied with acclamation when the intereatin:; pro- ceedings terminated.

Ii BIGS SCHOOL FOR WELSH GIRLS. I PRIZE DAY AT ASHFOBD. The Governors and Mends of the schools met a<: Ashford on Tuesday. In the unavoidable absence oi the treasurer, Mr Thomaa Wood, of Groesnyfed Park, the chair was occupied by the Vice-Treasurer, the Rev. J. S. Brownrigg, who read a long and exhaustive report from the Rev. C. J. S. Dawe, M.A.. heatt master of the S. Mark's College Schools, Chetsea. The report spoke in the highest possible terms of the tone, discipline, and emciency of the school. The Vice-jLreasurer stated that he was desired by the, House (committee to say that they proposed printing and sending the report to every parent and subscriber, and! that anyone interested in the school could obtain a copy on application to the Secretary, Mr C. W. Jones. It was highly important that the good work done in the school should be known in the Principality. Upon one point he desired: to lay special emphasis. The two scholars to whom the highest honors of the day had been awarded—Miss Kate Price and Misa Cretty Lomax-who had obtained the two open scholarships, were children who had been at the school the one from the 6rst day it had opened and the other from the second term. This fact could only bear one interpretation, that the teaching power of the school was most satisfactory. The scholarships, awarded by a perfectly impartial examiner, came to those who have been longest in the school, notwith- standing the fact that the popularity of the school was now attracting children of no mean pronciencv. He desired further to notice that the report spoke favorably, not merely of the advanced children, but of the whole school. Few could realise better than himself the value of this testimony. About two years ago when the school opened, he had himself examined all the scholars, who arrived on the 6rst day and aa an old Diocesaot Inspector of Schools he could honestly say that they had begun work with children considerably inferioe in knowledge to ordinary elementary scholars. They had now reached not in name only, but in deed, the position of a good high school. The prizes were awarded as follows S'c&o!<trsA''pt. —Higher pay. Kate Pdce intermediate pay. Grotty Lomax.

Jones, Mr Lewis Thomas, Rev. J. S. Brownrigg, governora Miss Wood Mrs Gosling. The Secre- tary, C. W. Jones, delivered a parting address to the girls in the Wehh language. An excellent programme of vocal and instrumental, II'. music inaugurated, and private th-zttricolai terminated) the proceedings.

A STEVEDORE'S LlABIUTY.—Mr Horatio Lloyd. county court judge, and a jury, occupied the whole of Tuesday in hearing & case remitted from the High Court, in which Edward Jones, a laborer residing at Trelogan, aought to recover .6150 damages from Peter Roberts, master stevedore at Mostyn, as compensation for personal injuries sustained whilst in the de- fendant's employment.—Mr Segar, barrister (in. structedbyMr W. H. Harris; solicitor, Liverpool was for the plaintiff), and Mr J. EHon Banker (in. stracted by Messrs. Walker, Smith, and Way, Chester), for the defendant. It appeared that in, April last a vessel called the Mary arrived at Mostyn with a cargo of iron ore for the Mostyn Coal and Iron Company. The defendant engaged plaintiff to unload the cargo, and in the course of his work the chiu of the steam ctane broke, and a portion of it or the tub itself struck plaintiff on the arm and hand, casing a fearful wound, so that he had since been unable to resume his work. For the defence it was shown that the chain had only been in use four months; that it was a three-ton chain, the breaking strain of which was ten tons and that at the time it was only lifting 25cwt. It was a'so alleged that the tub caught and caused the chain to snap, and that the plaintiff was guilty of contributory negligence by oing under the tub to steady it. The plaintiff had previously taken proceedings against the Mostyn Coal and Iron Corn. pany. but that action failed, it being shown that ha was in the service of the stevedore.- The jury found! verdict for plaintiff for JB50 and costs.
