Mr Nicholson (from the office of Mr Harry Cousins) appeared for the Cardiff and County Fish and Poultry Company, at which place the deceased was employed.- The mother of the deceased was called, and stated that she first heard of the accident about nine o'clock on Monday night, when she saw her son at the Infirmary. He was un- conscious at the time.—Mr John Huntley, manager of the Cardiff and County Fish Com- pany, said that the lad was employed by him as messenger, and between one and two o'clock on Monday he was sent to the Ice Company's stores with some pheasants. About eight o'clock in the evening he made inquiries about the lad, and finding that he had not returned from the ice stores witness went to the deceased's house and asked if he had come home. Receiving a reply in the negative, he immediately drove to the stores and there saw the engine-driver, whom witness Mked if he had seen the lad.

Law and Litigants. SPIDER AND FIY. I [SPECIAL TELKGRAM TO THE EOHO." I The ways of money-lenders were once more given unpleasant publicity to in an action con: eluded by Mr Justice Hawkins and a jury in the Queen's Bench Division to-day. The action was one at the instance of a Mr Upton to recover moneys due under two covenants executed by Mr Day, a Mitcham publican, the execution of which Day admits, but asserts that I such exeoution was procured by fraud. The defendant's case was opened first, and Mr King, Q,C., his coTneel, made an amusing speech to the jury on behalf of his client Day. He said that Day was a man of mature years, but ob. viously of a very conflicting temperament. It was surprising what foolish thing3 people did, but if there were no fools, money lenders would not flourish. Day considered himself entitled to a legacy under the will of a Capt. Smith his grand- father. His advisers thoughs so too, but the estate got into Chancery, and as it was dis covered that the wife was one of the wit. nesses to the will, Day lost his legacy. The matter was in the bands of a solicitor named Ward, who had in his service a clerk named Micklethwaite. Although Day wanted money himself, he was induced to lend Micklethwaite 250, and Micklethwaite then told Day he was agent for R money lender who would lend Day money at five per cent. on his own note of hand. The jury, Mr Kemp said, amid laughter, had doubtles seen the advertisement. Micklethwnite took Day to a fswall office in Holborn to a man named Woods, whose real name was Josslyn, and Mr Kemp submitted that the three persons h eliad named conspired together to cheat and defraud the flies who entered the box of an office. Mickle. thwaite had now been removed from the roll of solicitors, and when called to give evidence in this case he would be in the company of gentle- men who were swords by their sides, for Mickle- thwaite was now provided with lodgings and board at the country's expense in one of her Majesty's hotels—a sally tbab was received with laughter in court. MrKempproceedea to detail the steps by which Day was induced to sign the deeds. Day was to recaive an advance of L150, and Micklethwaite, who read out the terms, read that the interest was to be 5 per cent., while the actual figures m the deed were 35 per cent. and Woods was so polite, Mr Kemp remarked, as nat to interrupt Micklethwaite with a correction. All the money they received from them was L30. That was in 1890, and until 1893 no interest was demanded. Meantime the deeds had bean trans- ferred to one of a class of persons called innocent holders for value. That was Upton, the plaintiff, and Mr Kemp said that Upton would not have prooeeded now if Day had not taken out a summons to have his case dis. missed if Upton did not proceed. Therefore Upton was obliged to come into court. Mr Kemp submitted that this was from the commencement of a fraud concocted by Micklethwaite with the assistance of Wood alias Josslyn, who was a sort of jackal or runner for Upton, the plaintiff, and that value was never given. Mr Day was then called, and gave evidence in corroboration of his counsel's statement. The plaintiff's case was he was an innocent holder for value, having purchased the deeds from Mr Woods, moneylender, and that, if there was any fraud, it was committed by Micklethwait. It was contended therefore that the defendant Day and not the innocent holder should suffer the loss. After a trial lasting nearly a week the jury I found for the defendant, and judgment was given accordingly.

SOUTH WALES ART SOCIETY I There was on Wednesday evening, at the Queen-street Hall, Cardiff, a somewhat new departure made in connection with the Sout1 Wales Art Society, which, although it has been held for several years pant, ha.s not until this exhibition been able to pay its way. The draw which was legalised by a permission from the Board of Trade was of the usual character, there being several prizes the winners getting a picture of their own choice of the value of their priz*. Canon Thompson presided at the draw, and Mr Heath described at length the conditions under which the draw would be made. The CHAIRMAN, in addressing the meeting before the draw, said Cardiff people owed a very great debt of gratitude and appreciation to the 11 little band of talented men with artistic feeling and skill who had striven, under many difficulties and through dark times, to give them a little light, a little more sweetness, and a little higher culture in the midst of the grinding traffic and money-hunting of the town in which they lived. (Applause.) Men like Mr Heath, Mr Parker Hagarty, Mr John, Mr Thomas, and others to whom the town had given birth reflected very Kreat lustre on the community whence they went forth. (Applause.) After referring in praise- worthy term'! to Mr Hacker's picture, The Children's Prayer," the speaker proceeded to say it was something like a shame that pictures of that merit came into their town and were allowed to slip through their fingers. He wished some councillor could instil into the corporation a little %rL etitliii!i,"tii, if, only for the credit of the town. (Hear, hear.) They were having a museum and ai t gallery, and they would want pictures. Cardiff people were greatly behind other towns in that matter, and they wanted to bo distinguished in the world of science, letters, and art. They wanted Cardiff to be. what the Dean of Llandaff said at the founding of che college, not only a Tyre, but a modern A then. (Applause.) They would all sympathise with that little band of men who were doing what they could to redeem Cardiff from its certainly low, and not altogether worthy, condition. (Applause.) The draw was then proceeded with, two ladies taking the tickets from the bags. ..4

PORTHCAWL TRADERS AND THE G.W, RAILWAY. At a meeting of the Portbcawl Chamber of Trade, held at Porthcawl November bl;ii, the following resolution was unanimously carried, viz. That we, the Porthcawl Chamber of Trade, taking into consideration the recently revised rates adopted by the Great Western Railway Company to the various shipping ports in South Wales, find ihat Porthcawl does not conipire favourably with the other ports a; regards distances, or rather mileage, and in con- sequence the merchants and traders of this port are unable to compete with their neighbours. Seeing this port belongs to your company, we think a cone tlon on your part is cztrp n-ly desirable, and at't will not oniy enhauce the profits of youl- .•impany, but it will be a great boon to the community in general. This port is the nearest approach co many Importan collieries, who would utilise this port to a much larger extent were the rates equitably adjusted. Furthermore, we would point out that the traffic thus dealt with would be in your company's hands from pit to port."

COUNTY MAIN ROADS. Closer Inspection in Glamorgan. At a meeting of the Glamorgan Roads and bridges Committee held at Cardiff to-day, Coun- cillor Biandy Jenkins presiding, the county sur- veyor (Mr T. Lloyd Edwards) submitted alterna- tive schemes for the more adequate inspection of the train roads. H* proposed arrangements by which all the main roads of the county can be conveniently inspected once a week by four inspectors on foob. The average distance to ba walked each day will be--Swansea, 10% miles Bridgend, 10% miles Aberdare, 10 miles and Liandaff, 11 miles. It was agreed to recommend the foregoing scheme lot adoption by the county council, with the additional recommendation that the wages to be paid to each of these inspectors should be £95 per annum, to include railway fares. The Swansea district inspector will require to walk 62% miles per week the Bridgend district inspector, 61 miles the Aberdare district inspector, 60% Biiles and the Llaudafl district inspector, 65% '2 miles. With reference to the dangerous condition of the wall and wooden fenci at Glyn Neath, a sub- jommitteo was appointed to deal with the iju^stion, consisting of Messrs J. Biandy Jenkins, R. H. Rhys, and John M. Smith. The surveyor reported that the hearing of the I jase against Messrs Willcock and Co. for damage Soce to the Bryncothin main road by ex- ;raordinary traffic, and the use of a Irackion engine and large trucks for the carriage of building material to Paic Gwylli Asylum, took place at Bridgend Police-court on Saturday, the 27th ult., and resulted in the 3iagif,trate3 awarding the county council the sum f £300 ous of the 2640 claimed. The road, said the surveyor, is stiil being damaged by the engine 1ud trucks, and further extraordinary expenditure Is being incurred in maintaining it in a passable irate for regular traffic. The additional expendi- ture incurred up to the 27th ult, is £ 25 6s 7d. The Chairman said the decision of the Bridgend /nagistrates in this case was the mosb extraordi- very he ever heard of.

TRAMWAY INTERESTS. I Deputat-ion-to the Board of Trade. I A large and influential deputation, beaded by Sir Albert Roliit, M.P., and representing the tramway interests of the country, to-day waited open the President of the Board of Trade to ask, to view of the decision of the House of Lords on \he Purchase of Tramways Act, 1870, that egislation should be enxcted that when municipalities in future bought up tramways hey should be compelled to purchase the whole, and not merely a portion, and that they should offer the lease of the tramway in the Bret plaoe to the company before going to open market. Mr Bryce said the deputation^ propo- se really meant the varying of terms of the listing law. He should like to know what muni- apalities thought of it, and he could not think the proposed legislation would have th6 slightest chance. If the public suffered as was stated the tramway companies would have a strong case to take to the House of Commons.

I Triple Murder. I I A COLD-BLOODED CRIME. The perpetrator of one of the mosb oold- blooded crimes on record has just been sentenced to death at a French assize court. Three wood- cutters were living together in a hut, situated in a forest where they were employed, and one evening in July the prisoner, armed with a for- midahle olub, attacked and killed one of them as he was on the point of entering their habitation. Oae of the poor man's comrades, hearing the noise of the Bcuffle, went out and was despatched in his turn, and then the murderer went into the hut, in which the third woodcutter was sleeping, and killed him too. He found altogether about 200f. in the but, and it was the extravagant manner in which he spent the money that at. tracted suspicion to him. At the trial the judge made the remark that, when he perused the papers relating to the case, he was so horrified that his hair would have stood on end if he had not been bald. There was laughter in court, but the magistrate by no means exaggerated the abominable character of the crime, and as a natural consequenoe the jury returned a verdiot cf "guilty," without extenuating cncumstanees. i I I I J i 1

SEQUEL TO A BIGAMY CAafc. I Singular Disclosures. I In the Divorce Division on Wednesday the case of Lane (otherwise Lund) v. Lane (otherwise Lund) came on for hearing-before the President (Sir F. Jeune). This was the petition of Mrs Clara Lane for the dissolution of the marriage on the ground of the desertion and adultery of her husband, Mr Thymas Bruce LauEI. The petitioner, whose maiden name was Stephenson, on July 19, 1386, at St. Mark's Church, Regent's Park, married a genileman whom she knew under the name of Mr Barret Lund, a journalist. Afterwards she ascertained that his real name was Mr Thomas Bruce Lane, They lived together at different places down to 1890, when she went to Brighton at the re- quest of the respondent, he allowing her P,3 a week for a time, and afterwards the payments ceased. Subsequently she discovered that her husband was hving with a woman of the name of Flora LfHvis, who on one occasion carae to the house and produced a photograph of the respon- dent. Inquiries were then made, and eventually it was discovered that on April 2, 1881, he had gone through a ceremony of marriage at Monte Carlo with Flora Lewis. She taxed him with committing bigamy, and be acknowledged he had intermarried with this woman, after which he left the petitioner. It was not until three years had elapsed that she met him in the streets of London, when she gave him into custody on a charge of bigamy. It appeared, however, from inquiries which were made, that the respon- dent had been originally married and divorced, the decree being wide absolute before he inter- married with Flora Lewis; further, it so happened that Flora Lewis was herself a married woman at the time he went through a ceremony of marriage with her, so that marriage was null and void. The patitioner, benvrj the lawful wife of the respondent, now sought to have her marriage dissolved. Mr Marshall Hall, who appeared for Mrs Lane, called evidence in support of the above, also thai at the present time the respondent and Flora Lewis were living together in Clauricarde- gardens. Sir Francis Jeune granted a decree nisi, with costs, by reason of the desertion and adultery of the respondent.

The Alleged Ministerial blander. CASE FOR THE DEFENCE. Sitting at Cardiff. At the Angel Hotel, Cardiff, this morning, Mr Abel Thomas, Q.C., M.P., sat as commissioner to hear the action brought by the Rev. G. J. Wil- liams against the Rev. W. I. Morris, of Ponty- pridd. The circumstances have already been fully stated. The action is for alleged slander in statements made by defendant respecting plaintiff when desired to give his opinion of plaintiff's fitness for the pastorate of a Congregational Church at Brynteg. Damages claimed are in the sum of j3500. Mr Cartwright, Chester, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr S. T. Evans, M.P. (instructed by Mr W. R. Davies, Pontypridd), was for defendant. The proceedings commenced at 9.30 a.m., and even at that early hour the room was crowded with petsous interested in the proceedings. The attendance, in addition to the parties in the action, included the Rev. John Williams, Hafod Rev. J. R. Jones, Pontypridd Rev. J. A, Jen- kins, Cardiff Mr Ellis Roberts, Brynteg Rev. Tertius Phillips Messrs T. S. Jones, Daniel Arnott, T. Jones, W. M. Jones, David Ellis, W. Williams, J.P., Evan Morgan, Lewis Lloyd, Mrs W. 1. Morris, Mrs Davies, all of Pontypridd David Roberts, Tongwynlais Morris, Dowlais. Benjamin Israel, clerk, now acting as secretary of the Ainon Baptist Chapel, Tonewynlais, said that the letter of October 5th, 1894, written by plaintiff to Mr George Stephens, and produced in court at an earlier stage, had been handed to him. The letter enclosed a certificate. He (witness) sent a reply on October 9th to the Rev. G. J. Williams, Brynteg, near Wrexham. He posted it himself. Mr S. T. Evans That letter is in, sir. Mr Williams denied having ever received it. Mr Abel Thomas If the posting ia proved it becomes evidence. Witness added that in his reply he stated :— Your letter of the 5th inst., addressed to Mr Geoige Stephens, has at your request been duly placed before the deacons and handed to me for reply. I am to say that under no circumstanoes can we subscribe to the terms of the certificate which you enclosed, and which is returned here- with. Nor can we discuss that or any other question with you." No questions were put to witness by Mr Cartwright. Mr David Ellis, who acted early this year as secretary of the Tabernac!e Baptist Church, Pontypridd, eaid that on the evening of Sunday, January 24th, this year, the plaintiff (Rev. G. J. Williams) stayed behind at the after meeting or society, held after the evening service. The meeting was one of members only and of those wishing to become members. The pastor, the Rev. J. R. Jones, requested all who were members to sta.nd up, and all candidates for membership to remain seated. When the mem- bers sat down Mr J. R. Jones announced that Mi G. J. Williams had stayed behind, be having retained his se*t. Mr Jones further said he was pleased to see him. Wituesa could not remember that anything else passed that night. Mr Williams made no answer. On Sunday, February 4th, a fortnight afterwards, at the Communion servioe, the minister, Mr Jones, announced that Mr Williams had been received back as a member. Mr Williams partook of the oommunion at that service. I Mr S. T. Evans Is that what would ordi- narily happen in the case of a member coming back ?—'Yes, and his name would afterwards be I put ou the register. Mr Abel Thomas: Did you put his name on the register ?—Yes. The register of members was here produced, and submitted to the court for examination. Plaintiff's name, explained the witness, appeared among the names of five or six others who joined the same night. Mr S. T. Evans: According to the rules of your ohurch, would Mr Williams have been allowed to partake of the communion if he had not returned as a member ?—No. Mr Abel Thomas Without the consent of the church, it would have been impossible for him to have partaken of the communion under the circumstances ?—Yes. How did he call him—the Rev. ?—No, Mr. Witness added there were about 250 members present. Are you quite you saw Mr Williams pre- sent 1—Positive. Mr Abel Thomas: You are not a deacon ?—No. MrS. T. Evans: You say plaintiff was addressed as Mr. Was a word then said as to receiving him back as:-I. preacher 1—No. Rev. J. R. Jones,minister of theTabernacleWelsh Bapt istCh urch, P un lypridd, also ga. ve ev Idence, and corroborated M Eliis's testimony. Four candi- dates stayed befiind after the service on January 21st, and the plaintiff was one of the four. "I had just a word with each candidate," added witness. I went to them. Mr Williams appeared to be under deep feeling, and was weep- ing. I shook hands with him and said I was glad to see him. Then I informed the church that four candidates bad remained behind, and that among them was Mr Williams. I think I said that I felt sorry for him, and that we were all open to make bluders. That he had made a blunder I knew well." What did you refer to —thab he had left your denomination for another ?—Yes. I Continuing, witness said that afterwards Mr Williams Came to a week-night servioe on the I following Monday. He also attended the pre- paratory church meeting on Thursday evening, 1st of February, before communion Sunday. hI asked Mr Williams publicly that night," added the witness, "whether he was an applicant for membership. I stood by my desk and he sat in the middle of the vestry. He stood up and said 'Yes.' Then another brother (John Evans) Kot up and proposed that Mr Williams was to have his place—his membership. Another brother, Geo. Griffiths, builder, then stood up and seconded the proposition. One of the deacons, Mr Evan Morgan, also spoke, and then it was taken for granted that he should have his place. The following Sunday was communion Sun- day, February 4th. Plaintiff was present morn- ing and evening. The communion was in the evening, and I announced the names of those candidates that had been received, and amongst then was Mr Williams." Mr Abel Thomas Did you say Mr or Rev. T— I think I said, "Y brawd (brother) WTilltams." H partook of the oommunion that evening. Replying to Mr S. T. Evans, witness said he subsequently heard that the plaintiff was seeking a call to a Congregational Church. Mr Morris, the defendant, called upon him with reference to the matter, and he (witness) informed him of what had taken place in the Tabernaole. Mr Morris asked him for a statement to that effect, as he had received inquiries about plaintiff from the district of Brynteg, and witness gave him the certificate which had already been produc&d in evidence. It was untrue that Mr Morris dictated to him the terms of that certificate, or told him what to put down. As a matter of fact, witness wrote it in his etudy in the garden, while Mr Morris waited in the house. When he brought it in Mr Morris suggested thab he should add the name pastor to his name, and he adopted the suggestion. It was true what he said in his certi- caw, that the plaintiff returned back in great repentanoe." You did not say a word in Tabernacle when he he came back about restoring him t.o preach ?— No. Witness added that subsequent to the date of the certificate (April 26th) the plaintiff called upon him and told him that Mr Morris had received a writ, and that if he (witness) could not explain what he meant by pressing for member- ship" and great repentance" that it would be his (witness's) turn next to receive a writ. Wit- ness replied that he WM not to be frightened by such threats, and that he would stand to all that he had written. It was untrue, as alleged, that he told plaintiff at that interview that Mr Morris had dictated any of the words in the certificate. Cross-examined by Mr Cartwright witness said he had known the plaintiff for more than 20 yeat's; If he returned to the ohurch did you consider that he desired to be a preacher ?—Yes. Did you put that to the church in the short address you gave?—No; because it would be our rule that he should be a member for some time be- fore he could became a preacher. Did you tell Mr Williams you were sorry you had written that certificate?—No. Did you say that Mr Morris had not been in vour house before for five years?—No. That could not have been true. I never said it. Ani did you say that what yon had written was at the request of Mr Morris?—Ye>?. Why did you put in, "No word has been said about restoring him to preach up to now?"—To make the document more complete. To complete Williams'# destruction? — No, nothing of the kind. Did you not knew that that would destroy him?—-No. I thought if he had on there as a Baptist preacher, it was very wrong of him. What on earth do you think he came back to your church, except for the purpose of being allowed to preach ? —He may have thought so. Mr Abel Thomas Are you not by that ques. tion, Mr Cartwright, assuming something very bad against your own client ? Mr Cartwright, No,sir if it is a fact, and supposing you to believe it to be a fact, I then am showing yon the inconsistency of this gentleman in not granting the certificate. I must meet the evidence that is given. Mr Evan Morgan, Trallwn, Pontypridd, a deacon at the Tabernacle Church, corroborated the Rev. J. R. Jones's account of the proceedings at the Tahernacle upon the occasion of plaintiff joining the church. Witness was not cross- examined. Mr Benjamin Morris, haulier, Dowlais. was next called, but Mr Cartwright objected to his evidence being given. These, he said, were matters simply affecting plaintiff's credit, and not at all in reference to the points at issue, and therefore the evidence was not admissible. Witness stated that in March, 1888, the plaintiff engaged him to remove his furniture from Dowlais to Rhondda. Mr S. T. Evans How much did he engage to pay you ? Mr Cartwright again entered his objection, but Mr S. T. Evans held that the evidence was material as showing how plaintiff left one of the Baptist churches he had charge of, and throwing light upon the question whether Mr Morris, the defendant, was justified in the letters he wrote in saying, I could have written muoh more, but the above ought to suffice to help you to protect the honour of your pulpit." Mr Cartwright replied that the ma.tter had been settled to the satisfaction of the church, and absolving the plaintiff from any intention of wrong-doing. Mr Abel Thomas considered that the plaintiffs own admission should have been ample, but Iv could not refuse this evidence. Witness then stated that he agreed to move plaintiff's furniture for £ 4 10s. The amount he received was C4. He never gave a receipt for 26. nor did he affix his mark to the receipt now pro- duced. He was never asked to affix his mark ta any doouinent. Cross-examined, witness said he saw Mr Daniel Thomas and the plaintiff, and the matter was explained in his presence to Mr Daniel Thomas in his (witness's) house at Dowlais. He could not give the date. Mr S. T. Evans Did yon tell Daniel Thomas, in the presence of G. J. Williams, that it was 24 you received ?—Yes. Mr Thomas Jones, schoolmaster, Pontypridd, one of the deacons of the English Congregational Church, Pontypridd, testified that Mr G. J. Williams had never been recognised as a preacher by that church.—Mr W. M. Jones, M.E., another of the deacons, corroborated. Neither of these witnesses was cross-examined, and this closed the case for the defendant. Mr Cartwright said he had no wish to call further evidence, unless he would call the plaintiff in reference to the receipt of JSo. Mr Abel Thomas said that the plaintiff in his evidence had said that the old man Morris attached his mark to the receipt. Morris himself now swore that he didn't, and never authorised it. The Arbitrator announced that be would give his award in a. fortnight.

I Avington, in the opinion of Truth, should win on Friday.

The War in the East. PEACE OVERTURES. The Press Association learns officially that no definite action has yet been decided upon by the Powers in reference to China's appeal for their good offices in the matter of the Chino-Japanese struggle. Following the practice prevailing in such cases the Powers are exchanging communi- cations on the subject, and the conclusion of those overtures must of course be a condition to definite action. The Cabinet originally summoned for routine business nief-ts to-morrow, and the peac,j overtures which have been made in the interim will doubtless form one of the subjects of delibe- "Hon. The visit of Sir Hallidny Macartney to the Foreign Office and co 10, Dovvning-strapil last evemng|had no direct reference to the peace overtures, but rather to the subject of the inter- view whicw he recently gave to a London corres- dent of a German newspaper, to some of whose statements he has taken exception as being incor- rect.

POStR FOR THE MAGISTRATE. Albert Barnes (34), carman, of Durham-road, I Ilolloway, WM charged before Mr Lane, sitting at the North London Police-court yesterday, with disorderly conduct in the Seven Sisters road, and further with assaulting his wife, Rhoda Barnes. P.C. Berry said he saw the prisoner chase his wife into the Seven Sisters-road and give her a blow in the face whioh felled bar to the ground. As he then became disorderly, and caused a crowd to assemble, he was taken into custody.—Mr Lane Why did you act in this way ?—Prisoner If you II went home and found your wife drunk and children crying for food, what would you do Wouldn't you round on her ? (Laugliter.)-Mi- Lane I don't know. As soon as I find myself t in that position I will answer your question. The won.an did not appear to press the charge, j but Mr Lane said the constable's evidence proved the assaulc, and be fined the prisoner 5s, or three days. |

A LIBEL ACTION, I Bailey v. Phillips, I In the Queen's Bencfi to-day the hearing of I the scandal and lib; action Bailey v. Phillips was resumed. Two cooks of the defendant's gave evidence as to seeing plaintiff's daughter working as a domestic servant, both declaring that they gave the girl money and food. One of them helped the girl to run away. They also spoke to hearing Annie screaming in the kitchen and afterwards seeing bruises on her. Two house- malds at the defendant's confirmed this testimony.

I AlNTREE, Thursday Morning.—A 10 gll, squally morning caused the attendance to be light to witness tb" work of the Liverpool Cup hoises. Avington, with Calder up, travelled the course in taking style con- sidering the heavy going. Son of a Gun had a similar spin, going well, and he lor-ks bright in him-ell Portland (Gough riding) was busy over a mile and a quarter, and no fault could be found with his action. Stowniarket (with Finlay up) started off to complete the circuit of the course, but got rid of his rider before half the distance ba-d been covered and gallop -d to the end, and when he was caught Stowmarket walked away lame, and may therefore be looked upon as a doubtful starter for the Cup. Bard of Avon, with H. Chaloner in I the saddle, c&me the full course. Street Singer arrives to-day.

SPORTING ITEMS. I F. Peake, who has had a very successful season in Austria, returned to England on Friday last, in Austria. returned to England on Friday last, and was seen in the saddle again at Lewes yester- day. Eight hundred horses are stabled at Melton Mowbray for the hunting season, and 200 at Som^rby, a few miies frctn the fox-hunting tnetropo ,s. In addition there are large numbers at private mansions. Brocatelle. who came over here to run for the Cambridgeshire, finishing her preparation at Newmnrket under the oare of Hay hoe, left the Palace House establishment yesterday en route for France. Truth hears that Prince Simon, who is entered for thf, Chesterfield Nursery, will win a good race before the season is over. Master Minting (7st. 91b.) is treated with absurd lenity for the same ¡' race, and so, also, is Besom (7st.) The owner of Indian Queen, Teddy Hobson, in the year that The Paluier won the Liverpool Autumn Cup, was a small and very struggling bookmaker. To make a bo k i, commonly sup- posed, to make a fortune, but it was not so in his ruse. On the contrary, what money he has he got by backing horses. It is now certain that St. Simon will bead the list of winning eires for 1894, but Isonomy will not be far behind him, Hiiri each horse is credited with upwards of £ 40 000. St. Simon deserves the most credit, as his total represents a much larger number of good winners, whereas nearly tlie whole of Isonomy's amount has been secured bv I-inglass, whose three victories brought in £ 31,500! R.-v«rt.ing to the Cambridgeshire, Mr Labou- chere's sporting writer says :—I am s.ssured on excellent authority that, at the Bushes Indian Queen realty had oniy Medicis to beat, and two other aimnals which were then going very weU indeed were forthwith stopped, and finished amongst the iast lot. I therefore advise my spe- culative readers to pay no attention whatever to the Newmarket placings when making their calculations for Liverpool, Derby, or Man- chester,

GLAMORGAN AGRICULTURAL II SOCIETY, Place of Next Year's Meeting. I On Wednesday, Mr D. T. Alexander, through whom a cordial invitation has been extended the Glamorgan Agricultural Society to hold their next vears's show in the Barry district, together with Mr Wm. Thomas (Sully), and Mr W. V. Huntley, the secretary of the society, paid a visit J to the Cadoxion and Bai ty districts for the pur- I It pose of viewingsuitable sites for the show ground. 1 The committee have yet to decide where the show is to be held, but we are given to understand that the secretary of the society is very favourably impressed with several open spaces in the district and also with the tact which he mentioned to ou: representative, that tlie locality is very populous and in every way convenient for the purposes of the exhibition in 1895. The meeting at, which the final decision will be arrived at is to be held shortly at Cowbridge.

Welsh Gossip. The November number of the Skipping WZd contains a very interesting article on the Bute Docks. Cardiff. Dr. Usher collected materials for his An tiquitias of the British Church" while staying at St. Donat's Castle in A.D. 1646. His Honour Judge Gwi'ym Williams, durinj a visit to Aberp^rgwm last summer, spent a con- siderable time in instructing the church choir, and with excellent results. Swansea received its first charter from King John, and it was renewed or confirmed by Henry III. in 1234. by Wiiliam de Breos, by Edward II., and by Oliver Cromwell. A Welsh hospital for Celtic pilgrims was founded and endowed fit Rome ages ago, and in 1579 one Owen Lewie, of Cowbridge, made a grant of four u,t in Italy to the institution. In A.D. 1$03 a plague of strange insects infested Glamorgan. Lime was regarded as the best pro- tection against the swarms, and this is said to be the origin of whitewashing houses and walls in Wales. Lady Williams, the wife of Sir John Williams, M D., the last created baronet, is a native of Morriston, being daughter of M-Richard Hughes, J.P., whose name has been associated for so many years with the Landore Tin-plate Works. "Williams of Coventry," whose name was t household word in Wales a generation ago, was born at Tredarren Farm, Lianpumpsaint, a few rodes from Carmarthen, wher° his relations still live. Hi" estate was inherited by his nephew, the late Mr Williams, of Conwil. The Sabbath was strictly kept in Swansea in the seventeenth century. In the annals of that town it is recorded that John Mogfford was fined 5 for settiug sail on Sunday. A few years ago it seemed as if the old law would have been revived, for the benefit of pleasure-boat owners. Capel Als" is the second, if it is not the, biggest chapel in Llanelly. It is now being re- paired and enlarged, and wit! be one of the largest and most beautiful chapel in South Wale* when it emerges triumphan from tbe bailder5& hands—so, at least, Watcyn Wyn saya in thf- Diicygiwr. The matters in dispute between Mr D. H. Lewis, Shop yr Oen, Neath, and Councillor J. D. Llewellyn, J.P of the same town, and in respect to which evidence was taken by Mr Charles Evan Thomas, of Gnol!, who sat at the Town-hall as I arbitrator, have beeu settled in a friendly spint by the parties chiefly concerned. There were 26 applicants for the post of head- master of the Blaenau-Festintog Intermediate School. Mr F. P. Dodd, the suocessfnl candidate, is a native cf Llangollen, an old Bangor student, and lately an assistant-master at a grammar school at Eastbourne. He is not only a rij • scholar, but a capable musician, and can give lectures in agriculture. Judge Gwilym Williams is the son of A!pw Guch, one of the most generous patrons that the Eisteddfod has ever had. He is married tc a daughter of the famous house of Aberpergwm, one of whose members, Miss Jane Williams, woe for herself an enduring name in the history of Welsh literature by collecting and arranging Welsh airs and ballade. Dr. E. J. Davies, of Cardiff, writee an Aber- carn correspondent, to whom reference was made lately in your "Gossip" column, is a self-made man. and at one time worked at the I forge at Ebbw Vale. He has written a work on I the Sacraments," and he used to be a frequent contributor of tales to the Glol-ian. when that I periodical was published at Newport. Sir John Llewelyn is very indignant at the use of his name as a vice-president by the Western Conservative Club at Landore, which was last week sued at Swansea County-court for its beer bill. Sir John says he was invited to allow his name to be used as a Vice-president, but he declined, and so no one has any right to con nect his name with this so-called club." j A story, perfectly well authenticated, ill told of an Oxford Welshman who was a preacher with the Calvtnistic Methodists. While preaching at a certain place during the vacation, in answer to j the usual questions concerning his whereabouts, he answered that he was then at Oxford. 0,ie,' was the answer, paratoi at y Bala, ynte t" You are preparing for Bala,are you not ?") I I Mrs D. M. Richards, of Aberdare, has been nominated by the Aberdare Women's Liberal Association to contest, the Gadlys Ward for the board of gnardians. Mrs Richards has been for some t,ime a mAmber of the ladies' visIting com. mittee of the Merthyr Union, and has had a con- siderable experience of the work already. She is a sister of the Rev. T. Sinclair Evans, of Swansea. Miss Gwendoline Toms, who as almost an infant was a marvel on the pianoforte, is a native infant was a marvel on the pianoforte, is a native Swansea, and since she has been at the Royal College of Music her career has been one of an- interrupted success. It is not long since she won a gold medal for piano playing, and now she has I become the winner of one of the Steinway grands offered by Sir Augustus Harris. The prize is worth nearly £200. "I Mr Samuel Evans, the Welshman who has won for himself a distinguished position in the Turkish Government, was at one time an errand boy in the office of Messrs Hughes and Son, Wrexham. He has been spending his furlough in the United States, where be met with a warm reoeption in Welsh circles. He has reeentiy set sail from I New York direct to Naples, on his way back to I his Eastern home. Lord Jersey was staying, during his recent visit to South Wales, with his brother-in-law and sister, Mr W. H. P. and Lady Caroline Jenkms, of Briton Ferry. Lord Jersey takes a great interest in his Welsh property, and is a director ef the Rhondda and Swansea Bay Railway, which runs through Briton Ferry. Mr Jenkins is a keen sportsman, and his geniality and kind- ness have made him very popular at che ambitious little town which he has made his home. It is curious how place names have sur- vived in Wales in spite of the fact that the official names are English. For instance, to Welsh people Swansea, though the name is as old, at least, as Giraldus, is still known as Abertawe, Bridgend as Penybont, Cowbridge as Pontfaen, Cardiff as Caerdydd, Neath as Casten Nedd, Landore as Gland wr, Morriston as Treforris, Loughor as Caslwchwr, Briton Ferry as Llan- sawel, Newport as Casnewyda, and Cardigan aa Aberteifi. Even London is called Llynden. Lady Jersey is at present staying with her parents, Lord and Lady Leigh, at Stonoeigh Abbey, Warwickshire. The Leighs are weil- known Liberals, and the Hon. Gilbert L&igh sat for some years in the House of Com- mons in the Liberal interest, but his promising career was cut short by a fatø1 accident while shooting big game in the Rocky Mountains. Lady Jersey is a person age in society circles, and made herself very popular in New South Wales when her husband was Governor. Gwynfe, in Carmarthenshire, as might be ex- pected from its beatific name, has been the nursery of erreat divines Ulid missionaries. The Rev. D. Griffiths, the first missionary that set foot on Madagascar his nephew, the Rev. W. Griffiths, Ujiji, Central Africa the Rev. David Williams, Central Africa the Rev. Griffith Griffiths, China and the Rev. John Griffiths, D.D., home missionary in South Africa, all hail from the little parish. Among ministers who are still on British soil, the following were born at Gwynfe :—the Rev. D. A. GrIffith., Troedrhlw- dalar; the Re*. T. Gwyn Thomas, Brigg, Lincolnshire; the R°vD.;Lloyd Williams,Machen] Mon. the R>-v. T. Gwydriir. Davies, Tredwstan the Rev. John Morgans, Ystradfellte the late Rev. D. Williams, Bethlehem the Rev. D.

When the 48 hours was conceded to the dockyards it was cot extended to the naval ordnance department on account of the difficulty involved in the arrangement of hours. Much, satisfaction is expressed at the concession. j

J GRAND THEATRE, CARDIFF. j An agreeable change was made in the pro- gramme at this theatre ou Wednesday evening, when the successful society pUy Mcth, wfs produced by Mr Stafford Graffui's company. The play was superbly mourned, and the scenic effects, especially in the first and third acts, were excettd. ingly effective and brilliant. The characters found most effective representation throughout. Mr Stafford Grafton, a P,- tic- Murotf, Met Grafton, as Vera, and Mr Grahame Daviea, all Correze, beinc particular' successful. Mr John Palev, as Lord John, Miss Babingtou, as the Dachess, Miss Canning, as Laciy Dolly, and Mr Sutherland, as the Duke, were also well worthy commendation. Top piece is repeated to-night, and is well worth a visit., for a better all-round production of the we!known piav it would he difficult, to conceive. By the way, we are sorry to note that Mr Tom H. Taylor, the resspwted and genial acting-manager of the Grand Theatre, is about to sever his connection with the same and i resume a similar position at the Queen's Theatre, Birmingham, which is also Mr Sound's bouse. Mr Tayior, during the short time he has been in our | midst, has worked hard to secure the comfort of the Grand patrons and promote the interests of that house, and has made many friends by hia kindly and courteous manner. Mr Arthur H «r- ner, brother of the celebrated anchor (Mr F, Horner) will take up the reins of office next Manday.

DUKE OF YORK AND BELFAST I EXHIBITION. The Central News Belfast correspondent says that the Duke ot York, through his private secretary, has written to the town clerk of Belfast I declining to open the Arts and industries Exhibi. tion in that city, on the ground that it is contrary to rule for his Roval H! -zs to open a purely local exhibition.
