LOCAL FOOTBALL. PENARTH COLLEGIATE SCHOOL V. CADOXTON WEDNESDAY.—Played at Penarth on Wednesday, the 11th instant. In the first half, H. Bishop scored two tries for the school, which were not converted. Just before the call of time Harold Lloyd obtained posses- sion from a scrum in his own 25, and, running through the whole of his opponents, scored a fine try for the school, which Bishop converted. Final score:— Penarth Collegiate School, one goal and two tries; Cadoxton Wednesday, three minors. ABERGAVENNY v. PENARTH. This match was played in miserable weather on the Bailey Park, Abergavenny, on Saturday last. The visitors had not a representative team, Gibbs, Ellis, and Spencer being absent. POSITIONS.

E. Jarman, Cardiff. The visitors kicked off, and with a forward dribble carried play into the visitors' 25, where scrimmaging took place. Powell got away nicely, but was floored when crossing the centre line, and Alexander, receiv- ing from Lambert, put in a smart run, but was checked before he had gone far, and a further effort of Kirby's was likewise rendered abortive. Williams the homesters' captain, put in a flying kick, and play was worked to some distance down the Penarth ground. Here some smart passing was seen between the home backs, but Kirby, coming to the rescue, brougt the ball to the opposite end of the ground, where Williams was again auspiciously in evidence. Give and take play here ensued, the ball being called back just as the Seasiders were about to score. Mat- thews were then reversed, and Alexander was instru- mental in transferring negotiations to a point very near the home goal line. The Abergavenny forwards, however, came away with a burst, and threatened to score, but Morgan starting negotiations with a pretty run, and carried play to the centre line, whence a long kick took the Penarth men some distance down the home 25. Brock, however, came to the rescue, and was only brought down by Kirby after a neat run. A free kick for the visitors relieved the pressure, and Shepherd, augmenting the effort, the Seasiders came within an ace of scoring, but Pritchard fortunately came to the running point and led a smart dribble to the Penarth quarters. Just at the call of time a minor was scored by Abergavenny. Half-time score: Abergavenny, one minor; Penarth, nil. Brock re- started after a short interval, and play for a time ruled fast and migratory, Penarth eventually suc- ceeded in severely pressing the homesters. They remained for some time in the Abergavenny territory, but after a series of scrimmages Thomas picked up after a misjudged pass from Morgan and put in a short but dashing run. He was then pluokily brought down by the visitors' custodian. Little head- way was therefore made by the home team, and the game became monotonous. Time began to hang heavy when a move was made by the home forwards, and the ball came to the open near the centre line. One of the visiting forwards took the ball at his feet some way down the field, and Lambert, following up nicely, was not long in crossing the line, registering the first point of note during the afternoon. Jeff Matthews took the kick at goal, but failed to raise the ball. On the resumption the visitors again pressed and again nearly managed to cross. The ball was passed out to Tanner and he made a capital shot at goal, a minor resulting. The re-start saw the home- sters brace up a bit, and with a forward rush they carried the leather over the centre crease, where scrums took place. Darkness began to set in, and it was only with difficulty that the players could be recognised. A sudden burst of the home team gave Thon'as an opportunity to display his sprinting capabilities, and, skirting the touch-line, he had all but a clear run in, and for being fouled he was I accorded a free kick, but nothing came of it beyond raising the latent excitement in the game. This con- dition was, however, soon abated and even when Harry Kirby got over and scored a second try the interest waned. Jeff Matthews again took the kick and failed. Final scorePenarth, two tries, one minor; Abergavenny, one minor. PENARTH A v. PONTYPRIDD RANGERS. Played at Penarth on Saturday afternoon last, before a fairly good number of spectators. Mr Eli Kirby officiated as referee. The following constituted the teams Pontypridd Bangers—Back—A Nash; three-quarter —W Howell, J Morgan, R Lewis, and R Richards; half-backs—G Chick and D McGregor; forwards—J Griffiths (captain), J Herbert, S Jones, LI Gray, J McGregor, J Grubb, W Morgan, and J Walton. Penarth A-Back-F W Matthews three-quarter-C Kirby (captain), T Brown, W Bright, and Olaude Harry; half-backs—Sid Edwards and Tom Dewar forwards—R Pengelly, G Ketch, Edgar Edwards. J Powell, W Heap, W Watkins, F Roberts, and E C Chivers. Penarth started operations down the slope, and Howell feebly responding, play was located in the visitors' quarters. From a loose rush A. Nash came with a timely flying kick, which was well followed up, and the Rangers settled well in Penarfchs's 25, but only a minor resulted. From the drop-out little relief resulted, J. Morgan obtaining possession at once transferred to Howell, and the latter raced off and got over the line, but, unfortunately, lost the ball, only a minor being registered. A scrum was formed within five yards of the homesters' citadel, and here B Lewis smartly picked up, and, racing off, passed to Richards, but C. Kirby's tackle brought him low. The visitors still penned their opponents, and the Rangers' quartette initiated a pretty round of passing; but Matthews was at home. Chick, however, received, but mulling, at once started a pretty dribble, which C Kirby, failed to stop, and the Rangers again made an incursion into their enemy's quarters. From this point the visitors, with a well-concerted rush took play right up to the homesters' defence, where Matthews, to save unpleasant results, conceded a third minor. The drop-out saw operations on the other side of the division line, where from the succeeding scrum the visitors exhibited a pronounced predilection for off-side play. Yard by yard the Rangers worked to mid-field, where D. McGregor broke away with a fine dribble, but Claude Harry had a bad attack of the fumbles. C. Kirby, however, came to the rescue, and getting possession, sprinted off in capital style along the outskirts, but Nash had to be reckoned with, and the venue was again changed to Penarth's terri- tory. Here Edwards and Dewar started a pretty dribble, but Nash judiciously punted into half-way touch. The homesters, however, were not to be denied, and Kirby and Bright, by well-judged pass- t ing, got into their opponents' 25. Nash was very safe, though, and returned play to mid-field. The home- sters, nettled at this, by sheer dogged work, took the oval well up to the visitors' 25, but again Nash exhi- bited sterling defence. Sid Edwards now got in a flying kick, which was well followed up by C. Kirby. Nash, however, wisely kicked dead. Immediately after half-time was called, with the score reading :— Rangers, 3 minors; Penarth A, 1 minor. Resuming, G. Griffith's kick-off was well replied by Matthews, and the homesters carried play well into Pontpridd's 25, C. Kirby and C. Harry being chiefly instrumental. The Rangers were quite equal to the occasion, and immediately returned the compliment by visiting their opponents' 25 by means of Grubb, Waltod, and Grif- fiths executing a very neat dribble. From one of the many scrums whicb occurred Chick passed to D. McGregor who, being hampered, wisely transferred to Lewis, and the latter racing off in fine fashion scored a well-deserved try in the corner. A miserable attempt at conversion was made almost immediately afterwards. At this juncture C. Harry was rendered hors de combat, and was compelled to retire. Restart- ing, a grand combined rush by the homesters resulted in Dewar's equalising the game, but Matthews failed to make a fiver of it. This seemed to infuse new life into the homesters, for from a scrum Dewar quickly snapped up and transferred to C. Kirby, who executed an inimitably dodgy run and looked all over a scorer, when Ben Lewis grassed him in the nick of time. The homesters still continued to pen. but a timely dribble by the Rangers changed the venue to mid-field. Their career was, however, stopped by C. Kirby, who got in a grand punt, which was closely followed up, but Nash outstripped his pursuers and eased the rush. The Rangers now forced the scrums, and Sid Edwards time after time saved his side. Ultimately the Rangers got dangerously near, but T. Brown, in a marvellously clever manner, securing and kicked up. Nash, however, mulled, but quickly re- trieved, finding touch at centre. Nash again got in a flying kick, which be followed up fearlessly, but Matthews just managed to secure, and, in getting in his reply, was violently thrown by Nash. Penarth now forged ahead, the quartette being well backed up by the forwards, and invaded their opponents' 25, and Nash, in attempting to save was temporarily disabled. Following up their advantage. Edwards, from a scrum, passed to T. Brown. This player transferred to C. Kirby, who, getting well under weigh, fairly romped over the line, amidst a jubilate from the on- lookers. Tom Bright failed to steer the leather to its desired haven, although it was a magnificent attempt from a difficult angle. Resuming, the boys in blue still kept up the pressure; for from a line-out the ball changed hands amongst the homesters' quartette. The homesters were wheeling the scrum in fine style dangerously near the Rubicon, when no side was called, with the score standing at:—Penarth A, 2 tries, 2 minors; Pontypridd Rangers, 1 try, 3 minors. CADOXTON JUNIORS v. CARDIFF BOROUGH F.C. For the first time this season thesi teams met on Saturday last at the Claude Hotel Grounds, Roath, Cardiff. The weather was miserable, rain falling con- tinually from start to finish of the game. Under these conditions only twenty minutes each way was played, and resulted in a win for the Juniors. Score :—Cad- oxton Juniors—1 try, four minors; Cardiff Borough F.C.—1 minor. Fred Marks scored the try in the first half for the Juniors, but the same player failed to convert. Referee, Mr Welborgan, Barry Dock. OTHER MATCHES. BARRY v.

BARRY DOCK INDEPENDENT WORKMEN'S CLUB AND INSTITUTE. The first smoking concert in connection with the Independent Workmen's Club and Institute was held on Saturday evening, the 7th instant, and was well attended. The president of the Institute, Mr W. H. Thomas, occupied the chair, and was supported by Mr Hoskings. Mr Hodge, who presided at the piano, opened the concert by a selection, which was well rendered, after which he gave an excellent song. Mr Thomas followed with a song, The farmer's boy," well sung. Mr Barry gave in good style "The Daisy," and was deservedly encored. Mr Gorman rendered "Eggs for your breakfast in the morning," which was thoroughly enjoyed and Mr J. Thomas gave "Down by the river-side." Mr J. Morris gave a song and dance, and was also encored. Mr Barry followed with A soldier and a man," which was heartily appreciated. Mr Dutton next gave a good song well sung, "The blind boy and Mr Gorman sang "Come back to Erin." Mr Morris favoured with a step-dance, which included fifty-two different steps, and was heartily applauded. The geniel manager, Mr Knight, sang in good style "Who'll buy my song," which was received with rounds of applause, Mr Harley following in good form with "Kathleen Mavournine." Mr Perry contributed The Shamrock," which was enjoyed; Mr Barry sang "Gathering the shells from the sea." Messrs Morris and Thomas having given the duett, "Larboard Watch," Messrs Knight and Morris closed a most enjoyable evening by singing Silver Bells." The members are to be congratulated on the success of the institute. Although it had only been opened two or three weeks the members have received the Registrar-General's certificate of the registration of the institute under the Friendly Societies' Act, 1875. The committee are determined to make the institute a real boon to the members and unrivalled in its popularity. The second of the series of smoking concerts was held on Saturday evening last, at the Independent Workman's Club and Institute, and was well patronised by the members, all who were able con- tributing to the entertainment of their fellow mem- bers, and showed splendid talent, one and all express- ing their pleasure at the programme provided for the evening. During the evening it was proposed that a collection should be made at the third concert, to be held to-morrow (Satuiday), on behalf of some charitable institution in the district.

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON FOREIGN SAILORS AT BARRY DOCK. AN AMERICAN AND NORWEGIAN FALL AMONGST THIEVES IN GUERET-STREET. CRITICAL CONDITION OF ONE OF THE VICTIMS. On Friday night last, two sailors, a Norwegian and American, belonging to ships lying in the dock, were enticed by a gai g of ruffians to accompany them to a house in G leret-street, Barry Dock, a street possessing a mo.,t unenviable notoriety for immorality in all its forms. Here, it is said, drink was supplied, and about ten o'clock the two foreign sailors were Eounced upon by a number of men and women and eaten in a most unmerciful manner, with the view, it is said. of robbing them of the money they had in their possession. After reoeiving a severe wound on the head the Yankee succeeded in effecting his escape from the house, and ran away for his life. The Norwegian, however, was not so fortunate, and the outrage upon him was continued for some time, untS the poor man had become utterly unconscious, and had lost a great deal of blood. By and bye the man was allowed to go, and having crawled down the street until he searched the neighbourhood of No. 6 tip at the dock, he could get no further, and he lay down utterly prostrate and unconscious. A number of dock workers, seeing the dangerous state the man was in, sent for Dc Kelly, of Barry, and that gentleman having arrived he found his patient in a critical con- dition, and for a considerable time was unable to bring him round. At length, however, the man recovered consciousness, and was carried on board his ship, the "First Lancashire," where he lay in a low state. The police were communicated with, and they investigated the affair, but they failed to secure the arrest of the ruffians. A RUFFIANLY WOMAN SENT TO PRISON. At Penarth Police-court on Monday morning last (before Colonel Guthrie and Mr John Duncan) Eliza- beth O'Connell, of questionable character, living in 33, Gueret-street, Barry Dock, was charged with feloniously wounding John Nelson, a Norwegian, sailor on board the sailing ship First Lancashire, lying in Barry Dock. Nelson said himself, and a shipmate named James Notts, were led to the house in Gueret-street by several loafers. There they paid for beer, prisoner and another man being inside the house. The man asked witness to pay for more beer, but he refused, whereupon the woman got a poker and they ran outside. The woman followed and struck witness a blow on the forehead, which felled him to his knees. He was struck with the poker on the head again and fell to the ground.—James Notts corroborated, and said the man struck him in the mouth.—Dr Kelly said he was called to the prosecutor the same night. He found him lying at Barry Dock in a semi-conscious condition, and evidently weak from loss of blood. He found » contused wound on the forehead, and on the left side of the bead was a cut two inches in length running from behind forwards and inwards towards the centre lin&—The case was reduced from one of unlawful wounding to that of common assault.—Defendant said Nelson and Notts started on her husband first, and she took his part.—Sentenced to two months' hard labour without the option of a fine.

BURGLARY ON THE PREMISES j OF A BARRY TRADESMAN j AT CARDIFF. THE JEWELLERY ROOM TOO SECURELY FASTENED. THE BURGLARS COMPLETELY BAFFLED IN THEIR DESIGNS. Gentlemen of the swell mob have been very much in evidence in Cardiff of late, and burglaries and at- tempted burglaries have been pretty frequent. The latest attempt made was evidently spoiled by day- light dawning. It seems that on the night of the 10th j instant, some men triad to antop the of IL Coleman FolIick, I 41, Bridge-street, Cardiff, a Holton-road, Barry Dock. To accomplish this the? j tried to gain an entrance by knocking down a part of a wall at the back, where it adjoins Roberts-court. The burglars were evidently experienced in the art of bricklaying, as the bricks were taken out evenly, just leaving space large enough to admit a man. The room to which they had now gained admittance was shut off from the more important part of the shcp- that which contained the jewellery—by a strong iron door. To enter this room would have entailed another night's labour, so, as the morning light was approach- ing, the men decamped without taking anything, and it was not until the next morning, when the excava- tion was pointed out by some neighbours, that Mr i ollick knew that anything had occurred.

CARRIAGE ACCIDENT AT CAD- OXTON-BARRY. On Monday afternoon a carriage ? accident occurred in Holton-road, Barry Dock. A horse and trap, belonging to Mr E. Williams, Victoria Hotel, and laden with mineral waters, were standing in front of the Bassett Arms Hotel, when the horse became alarmed, and darted off at a terrific rate down the sharp declivity of I Weston-road. The carriag came In contact with an iron gas pillar on the road side, and pulling it to the ground broke it in two. The trap was also broken to pieces, and the animal injured.

ALAN OSCAR" AND THE" BARRY DOCK NEWS." Many of our readers will doubtless remember the interesting sensational serial tale, "The Guardian of the Treasure," which appeared in the Barry Dock News last year from the pen of that accomplished writer, "Alan Oscar." "Alan Oscar" has for years written a great deal for magazines and other publica- tions, and we are pleased to find him now before the publ'c in a new form, that of a book writer, bis latest, entitled Lieutenant De Brion, R.N.R. pub- lished by Remington, of London, bfeing now ready- The new work, we understand, has already reached the bookstall at Barry Dock Railway Station, and is probable that a review of the same will appear In the Barry Dock News next week. Lieutenant De Brion, R.N.R., is sold at 2s 6d single volume.

A HINDOO LOVE LETTER. In the Indian Mirror appears the following letter, which throws a curious light upon "match- making in India. It is the letter of a lover to his would-be father-in-law :—" We have received your card. The points have been carefully con- sidered, and brought to an amicable settlement. It is through my persuasion that the parents are ready to cast their only son in lot with your daughter. But, sir, I must ask you to be a little more liberal. I am a go-between, and concessions and compromise must be made in order that the matter may be brought to a head. You are to bear the following expenses -(l) Rs. 1,500 cash (2) Rs. 1,000 ornaments (3) The whole charge of my education up to the B. L. Examination. Taking into consideration the time we live in, and the society we deal with, you are not to lose by the bargain. Rather we shall be lowered, and our prestige gone. However, we know not what mysterious attraction draws me to you. If you meet the above demand I shall make everything square for you. My power is paramount, though I am obedient and submissive. I must call your attention to the importance of the third demand, made above. The other demands you will meet at the time of the marriage, and there is no danger; but the other demand, which is sub- mitted through my express desire, is liable to run the risk of breach of faith. I will live with you under the same roof. I will be your son, and you my father, and my whole prospect depends on your honesty. My father with-holds from me every expense for my college career, and you are entrusted with his honourable position. None will respond to the proposed match but my humble self, and the whole odium or praise which is to ensue as the result of the match shall fall upon my head. Therefore, I urge you to think over the the matter, for we are proceeding to a very solemn problem of life. The problem must be solved, and it is to be done through your unlimited bene- volence. Tell me, sir, most candidly, how does your daughter look? Is she really a beautiful girl of eleven ? For upon this fact depends the whole question. If your daughter be not a fair lady it would be of no avail. Everything shall be undone, but I hope you are strong in that point, as you have often asserted it to be. Reply sharp, and write on a stamped envelope, otherwise the letter will fall into the hands of my father. Be up and doing, and write me quick.

IT IS NOT ALWAYS MAY. The sun is bright, the air is clear, The darting swallows soar and sing. And from the stately elms I hear The blackbird prophesying spring. So blue yon winding river flows, It seems an outlet from the sky, Where, waiting till the west wind blows, The freighted clouds at anchor lie. All things are new, the buds, the leaves, That gild the elm-tree's nodding crest; And even the nest beneath the eaves,— There are no birds in last year's nest. All things rejoice in youth and love, The fulness of the first delight; And learn from the soft heavens above, The melting tenderness of night. Maiden, that read'st this simple rhyme, Enjoy thy youth-it will not stay Enjoy the fragrance of thy prime, For oh, it is not always May. Enjoy the spring of love and youth, To some good angel leave the rest, For time will teach thee soon the truth— There are no birds in last year's nest. LONGFELLOVV*
