BARRY AND CADOXTON DIS- TRICT UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB. A joint meeting of leading members of local football clubs was held on Friday evening last at Jones' Temperance Hotel, High-street, East Barry, for the purpose of taking into further con- sideration the advisability of forming a united football club for the district. There was a good representative attendance, and the chair was occu- pied by Mr W. M. Douglas, Cadoxton, amongst the gentlemen present being the following :— Messrs W. H. Morgan (Lloyd's Bank, Barry Docks), R. G. Morris T. H. Morgan (ex-captain of the Cadoxton Club), F. C. Boys, G. Waters, J. H. Nelmes (secretary pro tem.), and J. R. Llewellyn (all of Cadoxton); W. Ekers, Holton J. Panniers, W. Murphy, W. Davies, and others belonging to Barry. The Chairman invited a free discussion of the proposal to establish a united football club for the Barry and Cadoxton district, and several gentlemen spoke in favour of the movement, par- ticularly Mr W. II. Morgan and the Chairman, but Mr W. Murphy and Mr J. Panniers stated that the members of the Barry Club were not dis- posed to amalgamate, and would not play on the ground at Cadoxton, Mr Panniers adding that if the Barry club joined the united club another club would at once be formed at Barry.—The Chair- man pointed out that the question of ground was I not then under consideration all he wanted the meeting to determine was as to the advisability of forming a district club. Personally he should be glad to see a club formed which would do credit to so rapidly growing and thriving dis- trict. Eventually, on the motion of Mr R. G. Morris, it was resolved by a large majority that a district united club be formed, and it was under- stood that steps would at once be taken to obtain a thoroughly good fixture list for the coming season.—Messrs W. M. Douglas, T. H. Morgan, J. Tobin, W. Murphy, J. Davies, W. Ekers, and J. H. Nelmes (temporary secretary) were ap- pointed a sub-committee to make enquiries as to a suitable ground.—We understand that fixtures have already been arranged with most of the best local clubs, including St. David's, Llandaff, Canton, Cathays, Tyndale (Gloucester), &c.; and the best football players in the district have pro- mised to join the new club. We hope, therefore, there is a good future in store for football in the Barry and Cadoxton district.

BARRY CASTLE BUILDING COM- PANY, LIMITED. FIRST ANNUAL MEETING OF SHARE- HOLDERS. The first annual general meeting of this Company was held on Friday last, at the Barry Hotel, East Barry, Mr David Roberts (chairman) presiding. There were also present—Dr. Neale, Messrs Lewis Wm. Jones, W. H. Lewis (solicitor), Joseph Jenkins (Aberdare), John Williams, C. J. Vaughan, Edward Shaw, Howell Davies, Edward Thomas, Rees Thomas, Frank Ashley (clerk of the works), and David Jones (secretary.) The Chairman moved the adoption of the report and accounts for the year ending 30th June last. The report stated that the Company was incor- porated in July, 1890, the share capital being over- applied for before the end of the month. The com- pany then took 47 plots of land at Barry, upon which there have now been erected 43 houses, shops, and villas. All the property is now let and al- though the greater part has only just been completed, the total revenue Was s efficient, after payment of rates, taxes, and expenses, to pay a dividend at the rate of four per cent. per annum, and to carry forward a small balance.—A dividend was, therefore, declared of four per cent. per annum, clear of income tax.— Messrs David Roberts, George Neale, Lewis Wm. Jones, Joseph Jenkins (Aberdare), and C. J. Vaughan were appointed directors.—Messrs C. E. Clarke and Dovey, Cardiff, were appointed auditors.—After a vote of thanks had' been accorded the chairman, the proceedings terminated.

AMERICAN PARALLEL TO THE BARRY DISTRICT. The town of Bessemer, situate between New Orleans and Lousville, in the State of Alabama, is the latest creation of American enterprise. It is only to be found on the very newest maps. In the year 1887, the town of whit a 40,000 inhabitants now marks was over- run by a primitive forest. The accidental discovery of all the materials—coal, ore, and lime—necessary to the establishment of a great iron-producing and manu- facturing centre led to this sudden inrush of population.

Origiiial pcctrp. MY SECRET. My lip ne'er told I loved, what need to tell When eye and cheek revealed the fact so well Words are but idle things that float away, Like whirling leaves in sport on autumn day. The tell-tale cheek with blush like summer rose, A story tells to eye, and swiftly flows Down to the heart and nestles there content. Like freshening dew in flower, from Heaven sent. So when my hand in thine imprisoned lay, And fluttered like a bird that tried to steal away, Like bars of cage thy fingers held it fast, Till faint and weak with rapture my heart passed. Into thy keeping, gaining strength from thee, 0 love, dear love when thou rememb'rest me, Think of my secret, how it tried to stay Awhile with me, before 'twas stolen away NP.

OUR GARDENING. NOTES. p [See Work on Vegetables and Flowers by Messrs. Sutton Sons, Heading.) AUGUST. The work of this month is not severe, but a few of its details are of great consequence. The matter of chief importance is T^-SEE thatRvhat- ever should be DONERS well, DOIW^ becauise the winter is coming, and the weak JOINTS^ in the harness may be made manifest when it is too late to repair them. The supplies of the garden during the next winter and spring will in great Eart depend upon good management now, for we ave to make the utmost of the few week of grow- ing weather that remain. Autumn, sowings of seeds must not only be, attended to, but with par- ticular care, to insure a regular and rapid growth, and yet not a single seed should be sown a day too soon, because if the plants attain too large a size before winter they may be destroyed by frost. One great difficulty in sowing seed now is the likelihood of the ground,-bein|g too dry; yet it is most unwise to water seeds, and it is al- ways better if they can be got up with the natural moisture of the soil alone. However, in an ex- treme case the ground should be well soaked be- fore the seed is sown, and after sowing covered with hurdles, pea-sticks, or mats until the seed begins to sprout. ARTICHOKES, GLOBE, to be cut down as soon as the beads are used. BROCCILI to be planted out. As the sprouting broccoli, which belongs to the class of "Winter Greens," does not pay well in spring unless it grows freely now, plant it far enough apart, or if crowded where already planted to stand the winter, take out every alternate plant and make another plantation. BRUSSELS SPROUTS may be sown early in the month, part to stand the winter in the seed-bag, and pa/t to be pricked out ready for planting in the spring. This plan 'insures a fine plant and an early supply of buttons. CABBAGE to be sown in small quantities, the large sorts being suitable to sow now. Plant coleworts without delay, and clean up plots from which cabbages have been cut. CARDOONS. -Commence blanching if the plants are ready. CAULIFLOWER must be sown to stand the win- ter, and there is no better place for them than a sheltered spot on an open sunny border. The time to sow must be determined by the climate of the district. In cold, late localities, the, nrst week is none too early; from the 15th to the 25th is a good time for all the midland districts, and the end of the month (or the first week of Sep- tember) is early enough in the extreme south. In Devon and Cornwall the sewing is later still. In any case, the seed should be sown on a good bed, and with care, in order that a healthy growth may be promoted from the first. It is important to have the plants as hardy as possible by free exposure, and, therefore, they must not be sheltered or shaded until frost threatens them, and then the glasses must be put on, but they must have air at every opportunity. CELERY to be carefully earthed up as required. It takes quite five weeks to blanch celery well, and as the earthing up checks its growth, the operation should not be commenced a day too soon. Take care the earth does not get into the hearts. CORX SALAD should be sown during this month or September to produce plants fit for use in early spring. In the summer months the whole plant is edible, but in the winter or spring the outer leaves only should be used. CUCUMBER. For a supply of cucumbers during the winter months the gene- ral principles of management are iden- tical with those given under January and March, with one important exception. At the commencement of the year the cultivator may rely on a continued accession of light and warmth to aid its efforts. Now, he must anticipate a constant diminution of these vital forces. Hence the progress of the plants will gradually abate as the year wanes, and due allowance must be made for the fact. So much will depend on the character of the autumn and winter, that it will be unwise to risk all on a single sowing. Seed put in on two or three occasions between the end of August and the end of October will provide plants in various stages of growth to meet the contingencies of the season. The production of cucumbers will then depend on care and manage- ment. In very dull cold weather it may be dangerous to syringe the foliage, but the neces- sary moisture can be secured by sprinkling the floor and walls. ENDIvE.-Make a final sowing, and plant out all that are large enough, selecting, if possible, a dry sloping bank for the purpose. LETTUCE to be sown to stand the winter, the hardiest sorts, such as black-seeded Bath com- panies and winter while companies, being the best. In cold districts the middle of the month is a good time to sow in favoured places the end of the month will be better. ONIONS are things to be re-considered. For many years the tripoli section enjoyed pre- eminence for sowing at this season, the opinion prevailing that other kinds were unsuitable. But it is found that Sutton's Improved Reading, and others that may with propriety be described as English onions, are as hardy as the tripolis, and, therefore, as well adapted for sowing at this season. Thus, instead of sorts that must be used quickly we may commend for summer sowing the best of the keepers, and the result will be heavier crops and earlier ripening, with plentiful supplies of "things" for salads all through the summer and winter. Two sowings—one at the beginning, the other at the end of the month- may be adopted with advantage. The storage of onions is often faulty, and consequently losses occur through mildew and premature growth. If any are as yet unripe, spread them out in the sun in a dry place, where they can be covered quickly in case of rain. In wet cold seasons it is sometimes necessary to finish the store onions by putting them in a nearly cold oven for some hours before they are stored away. PEA.-It is mere waste of seed to sow now, but crops coming forward for late bearing should have attention, more especially to make them safe against storms by a sufficiency of support, and in case of drought to give abundance of water. STRAWBERRY PLANTS may be put in should the weather prove favourable, but next month will answer. In bearing weather it is well worthwhile to bed the plants closely in a moist shady place until rain comes, and then plant ojt. TOMATOES to be gathered as soon as ripe. If bad weather interferes with the finishing of the crop, cut the full-grown fruit with a length of seem attached, and hang them up in a sunny green- house, or some other warm spot in full daylight. TURNIP may be sown in the early part of the month. The best sorts now are Jersey Navet, or Snowball. All the Year Round will please chose who like a yellow turnip.

SAD SUICIDE OF A FARMER AT ST. FAGAN'S. On Thursday, the 3Mh ultimo, Mr E. B. Reece, coroner, held an inquest at Trewern Farm, St. Fagan's, touching the death of James Radcliffe, aged 51, who was found drowned early on the 28th of July. —Ann Radeliffe deposed that the deceased was her husband. He was a farmer, and had been in despondent spirits for some time. He used to suffer from periodical attacks of melancholia. She sent for Dr Edwards on Tuesday, and he advised that it would be better to send him to an asylum. The doctor also said that someone ought to be with him night and day. She accordingly had a watch kept upon him. About two o'clock on Monday morning she was awakened and told that her husband had run out of the house. A search was made, and he was found in the rain water tank. He died shortly after- wards. He was afraid that he might kill himself.— After hearing similar evidence from labourers on the farm, the jury returned a verdict that The deceased committed suicide by drowning himself in a water- tank while in a state of insanity."
