SPORTING ITEMS. I The Prince of Wales has entered Florizel IL in I the Birmingham Handicap. Mr G. S. Davies rode Morello in a manner highly commendable tor the Stewards' Plate at Salisbury yesterday, and landed him a neat winner troni Rose Marjorie, who was the mount of M. Cannon. A transaction was recorded in the train from London to Sahsbury yesterday, by which The Owl was backed for the Derby at 1,000 to 100, and 400 to 200 for a place. Watts will ride the coit in the Derby. Ottoman, always a nasty horse to ride, ran none too generously in the Portland Welter Handicap at Doncaster, in which he was always beaten for speeci by Thessalian, who won in quite his best style. It is said that R. A. Downer and C. A. Bradley will meet to-morrow (Saturday) in the lOG yards lsvel re at the athletic meeting promoted by the Mauningham Football Club. J- rn Sr-lby was ou the spot to run for the SprlDg Handicap at Doncaster, but, with Faw- don not able to do the weight and William I'Anson not able to secure a jockey, the colt did not face the starter. In keeping Irish Car tor the Doncaster Spring Handicap instead of allowing her to take her chance in the Thames Valley, a mistake was made. for Mr M'Calmont's filly was never In yesterday's race, and had to be hard ridden to secure the third berth from the pulling-up John Morgan. Lord Harris witnessed the fine batting display of the Kentish batsmeu at GravesenJ yesterday. His Lordship carried his right hand in a sling, having broken a fintrer during the matoh played at Maidstone on Wednesday between the Band of Brothers and the local team. 1 There is a history attached to the City Bowl, the race for which opened the Salisbury Meeting yesterday. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth—for Salisbury Races, be it noted, have an uninter- rupted record from the days of Henry VIII., aed were probably in existence even loug before then-a good old sportsman died and bequeathed a sum of money to the fund for the endowment of a race. The sum now produces j378 a year, which was paid over to the race committee by the Mayor's officer with due ceremony yesterday morning, and goes towards the added money to the City Bowl. The value of the race used to be only JB18 ti] told, but now, to comply with the Rules of Racing, it is increased to £ 100. This year it was reduced to a match, and Crawley had practically a walk over.

I OSCAR WILDE CASE, I The Second Trial. I SPEECH FOR THE DEFENCE. I DEFENDANT UNDER GROSS- I tXAMINATlON. His Vanity; Praise Delightful. I LONDON, Friday.—The trial of O"car Wilde was resumed to-day at the Old Bailey before Mr Justice Wills. In viewoftho possibility of thecaso being concluded to-day, the public gallery was again packed with a crowd of spectators eager to witness tile final scene. The Solicitor-Genera and INIR C. F. Gill were early in court and the prisoner, who arrived shortly after ten, stood in the well of the court and had a long consultation with Mr Tr iers Humphreys. He looked extremely unwell, and his whole appearance and demeanour betokened the keenest anxiety. Shortly before 10.6') Sir Edward Ctorke, Q.C., entered the court, and joined in the conversation. The prisoner afterwards proceeded to the foot of the jury box, and talked for some time with the Rev. Stewart Headlam and with Lord Douglas of Hawick. -,ot)i) as his Lordship had taken are sea* thz I prisoi-w lesum d his seat in the dock. Legal Peints. I The Solicitor-General again raised the question I of the withdrawal of the case as regarded the witness Shelley. He pointed out that in 1894 i Mr Justice Coliiii3 laid it down that there was no law by which a case, could be withdrawn from the jury on the ground that the evidence of an accomplice was uncorroborated. His Lordship snid he preferred to adhere to the course which he had taken as the result of very deliberate consideration. One strong reason lie had for doing so was that it was contrary to the practice of the Jaw for a judge to allow the un- corroborated evidence of an accomplice to go to a jury. He did not see any use in that if the jury were to have the liberty of deliberately disregard- ing that direction when an opportunity arose. He should be glad to have the question settled authoritatively. Address fsr the Defence. I Sir Edward Clarke then rose to address the jury on behalf of the prisoner. He said he had to deal with what remained of this case, but he sèlOuld not ueuin them long now, and he did not think it would be needful for him to address them at any great iength here- after. The case before them was now very limited. The witnesses upon whom they were to rely were few in number. He was pain. fully conscious of the manner—he had almost said the unjustifiable manner-in which the case had been conducted on the part of the Crown. He should call Mr Wilde into the witness-box again to state for the third time in that court that there was no truth whatever in these accusations which were made against him, and to face for the third time, and now with a new assailant, the cross-examination which might be administered to him with regard to these accusations. As counsel for the defence he (Sir Edward) might do something to sustain the traditions of public prosecutions and induce his learned friend tojelneinber that—which he feared fur a moment yesterday he seemed to forget—he was there not to tr) and get a verdict of guilty by any means he could, but to lay before the jury for their consideration and judgment the facts upon which they were asked to give a very serious determination. The jury must give their decision not on siispicion and innuendo, but upon the evidence of facts. Broken as Mr Wilde was with the anxiety of these successive trials, he might well be spared the indignity of again going into the witness-box. But he would go into the witness-box, because otherwise lie (counsel) knew what the Solicitor-General would say, and he (Sir Edward) would have no opportunity of reply. He contended Mr Wilde's conduct throughout bad baen that of an innocent man. ile had courted every inquiry, aud had surrendered to meet these charges confident iu the hope that as examination and examination went on these accu- sations would break down, as they had been breaking down these five weeks, and that at last he would get his vindication from the judgment of the jury upon the facts of the evidence before them. In conclusion, he submitted that on the evidence the jury could only return a verdict of not guilty. Oscar Wilde again in the Box. I He then called Mr Wilde. The prisoner entered the witness-box and was allowed to bo seated while giving bis evidence. He aid this was the third time he had gone into the witness-box. Ho described the nature of his acquaintance with the Queensberry family and Lord Alfred Douglas,and stated that after Lord Queensberry left a card with an offensive inscription be at once instituted proceedings. In the course of his evidence in the Queensberry libel case he was asked certain questions with regard to Parker and Wood, in answer to which he made certain statements. Sir E. Clarke: Were ali those statements absolutely true ?—Entirely. Have you any qualification or alteration to make in regard to those statements ?--NL), I have no observation to make. Is there any truth whatever in the accusations made against you in thia indictment ?—None whatever. Wilde and Lord Alfred Dauglas. I Cross-examined by thejSolicitor-General Ho said he first made the acquaintance of Lord Alfred Douglas in 1892, and when Lord Queens- berry objected to the intimacy between Lord Alfred Douglas and himself he was quite ready to cease the acquaintance. Lord Alfred, however, desired the acquaintance to be continued. Lord Alfred Douglas was now in Paris, where he went at witness's desire. Witness bad been in com- munication with him. You frequently corresponded with Lord Alfred Douglas 2— Yes. Are the two letters that have been read samples of the style in which yoti-addressed him ?-I:do not think I should say they were samples. The letter written from Torquay was a prose poem in answer to his poem "My O.vn Boy." Is that the way in which you usually addressed him 1-1 do not say usually, but often. He was much younger than I was. Your sonnet is quite lovely. a marvel that those red rose leaf lips of yours should be made no less for the music of song than for the madness of kissing." Now I ask you this, Mr Wilde Do you consider that was a decent way of addressing a youth ?—It is like a sounet of Shakespeare. It was a fantastic, extravagant way of writmg to a young man. Was it decent ?-Of course it wis decent. It is a beautiful way for an artist to write to a young man who has culture, charm, and distinction. Decency does not come into the question. You understand the meaning of the word, air ? -Yes I Then I ask you whether you consider it a decent mode of addressing a young man !-I can only give you the same answer. It was a literary mode of writing to another intended to be a prose poem. Do you consider it to be decent phraseology Oh, yes. In regard to other portions of the letter witness said he referred init to Hyacinthus,who was madly loved in Greek days. The letter was signed, Always with undying love.-Yours, OSOAR." Witness was devoted to Lord Alfred Douglas, and had had a refined and intellectual love for him. I The other letter was not a prose poem; it was written after there had been a quarrel about some- thing. The letter contained the following;- Your letter was delightful red and yellow wine to me, but I am sad and out of sorts. You must not make scenes with me. They kill me; they wreck the loveliness of life. I cannot listen to your curved lipssaying hideous things to me. Do not do it; you break my heart." The letter con- tinued You are the divine thing. I want the thing of grace and genius; but I do not know how to do it. Shall I come to Salisbury 1" Witness said an artist in literature, a man of letters, always looks for literary expressions, and that leads one to certain expression. Lord Alfred Douglas had stayed with him three times at the Savoy Hotel. Their bedrooms adjoined, and the approach to witness's room was through Lord Alfred Douglas's room. After j the committal of the Marquis of Queensberry witness and Lord Alfred Douglas left the country I together. You two alone ?— Yes. Witness further admitted that he had visited Taylor at, Litble College-street, and had met a number of young men there. He could not remember their names, He bad never met.Parker there, Did Taylor strike you as being a pleasant companion ?—Yes I thoughlJ him very bright. Pleasant ?- Y es. Did you know what his occupation was 7-1 understood he had none. Had any ot those persons you met any occupa- tions ?-I did not ask them. Had any of these young men at Taylor's any intellectual atrraction ?-No it was my vanity and love of admiration. I liked to be praised and made much of, and was gratified. Witness With the admiration of these boys ?— At the admiration. What possible gratification was it to you, who, we are told, was a successful literary man, to obtain the praise of these boys, whose very names you cannot remember ?—Praise from anybody is always delightful. Praise from other literary people is usually tainted with criticism. (Laughter.) It pleased me very much to be made much of. Witness added that it didn't occur to him that he could exercise any influence over these young men. With regard to the dinner at St. James's Resbauranb when Taylor brought the two Parkers, he didn'b think Taylor ought to have told him who the Parkers were. Witness had no sense of social differences, and Taylor knew thab. Witness thought youth was such a pleasant thing to him that he would not have cared. He had no preference for one of the Parkers'rather than the other. He called Charles Parker Charlie," and told him to call him Osca.r." lie did not remember ever taking a young man to the Savoy Hotel and dining with him alone at night. He did not dine there alone with Parker. Parker visited him at 10, St. James's-street. Lunched with you and had tea with you alone ? -)(as. How many times did he visit you ?-I think about seven or eight times. He stayed about an hour on each occasion. The Solicitor-General next proceeded to cross- examine witness as to his relations with a man named Scarfe. Sir E. Clarke objected on the ground that it was not relevant. The Solicitor-General said he had a right to treat the witness as any other witness for the purpose of discrediting him. His Lordship overruled the objection, but said if the bounds of fairplay were overstepped the consequence would recoil those who over- stepped it. Wttness said Scarfe had visited him at 10, St. James-street, and had lived with him alone in a private room at an hotel. Witness also said he met a boy named Conway on the beach at Worthing and took him to Brighton for six weeks. He had also meb a man named Harring- ton. With regard to Alfred Wood he met him at the Cafe Royal. He h;ld been asked to give Wood assistance. Why did you not give it him ?-I did. Why prolong the interval ?—If you mean taking hnn to supper, I wished to be kind to him. Did you take him to dinner alone in a private room ?— Yes. Witness added that he afterwards met Wood again at the Cafe Royal. He was asked to interest himself in Wood. It was after the second meeting that he learned Wood was known to Taylor. He was afterwards told that Wood was minded to extort money from him on account of some letter which witness had written to Lord Alfred Douglas having come into his possession. Witness afterwards met Wood, and the latter gave him the letters. What did you give him 1—Ultimately I gave him 215. What for ?—Because ho wished to go to America. Do you mean to state that your payment of that mouey had no relation to the delivery of those letters ?—None whatsoever. Yuu paid your money and got the letters ?— Yes. Where are the letters --I tora them up. You had gone to buy ?-No, to bargain. To bargain for what?—For these letters. And you took money for tlj,s purpoie?-Yts, You paid the money ?—Yes. And you got the letters ?- Yes. When did you destroy the letters t- I tore them up two or three days afterwards. Witness added that on the next day he gave Wood a lunc at Florence, and an additional sum I of L5. Wood afterwards went to America. Now, I came to the Savoy Hotel. Were you visited at that hotel by many young men?—The majority of my friends are young. Your heard what the masseur said. Is that untrue ?-Entirely. You contradict his testimony wholly ?—Wholly. May it yout tostiiiiotiy ie the sants as regards the evidence of the chambermaid.— Y tüJ. This concluded the cross-examiuation, and the Court adjourned for lunch.

ALLEGED ILL-USAGE OF A LUNATIC. Charge Against the Son. I He Gets Off In a Technical Objection. I There was a case at the Cardiff Police Court this morning—before Mr Stipendiary Lewis aud Mr Spencer—wherein a man named Wm. Cawte (N), of A vondale- terrace, Clarence-road, was charged on a warrant with being a parson having charge of Ellen Cawte, a lunatic, did wilfully ill. treat and neglect her. The prosecution was taken at) the instance of the Commisaioners in Lunacy, Mr David (from the office of Mr T. H. Stephens) appearing for the prosecution, whilst Mr Belcher defended. The proceedings, Mr David explained, were taken under section 323 of the Lunacy Act, 1898, when^Mr Bolcher raised the point of their right to go before a jury, but he was overruled. Mr David put in an order dated the 15th of this month whereby the Commissioners directed the secretary to institute proceedings in the matter.—Mr Bslcher raised the question as to whether the document was admissible without proof, and the Stipendiary said Mr David musb prove the signature of the secretary.—Mr David said he was nob prepared to prove the signature of the secretary to the Commissioners, bub sub- mitted that the seal was sufficient proof. —The Stipendiary then said he must prove that the order was made evidence by statute, and offered to put the case at the bottom of the list. Mr David said he was prepared to prove the receipt of the order by registered post. —The Stipendiary That is not sufficient. You must prove the signature of the secretary of the Commissioners or show that the document is what it purports to be.—Mr David further submitted that the seal was sufficient proof he could not, he said, carry the. case further. Mr Belcher hereupon asked for the discharge of the prisoner and this was immediately done by the Stipen- diary. "I'J

The Queen's Birthday. ] To-day being the 75th anniversary of the Queen's birthday the event was observed in London by tbr', hoisting of flags on a number of churches and several large business establishments, while church bells were rung in honour of the occasion. The firing of the usual salutes at the Tower and St. James's Park is deferred until to-morrow, when the Government offices will be closed. A Royal salute was tired at Dover to-day in honour of the Queen's birthday, and there was a full dress parade of all the troops in garrison. Observance in Cardiff. There were the customary observances of the day in various parts of Cardiff. At the Bute Docks thp Imperial standard and a large number of other flags were hoisted at the pier-head, while the national colours floated from all the more im- portant consulate and vice-consulates. On the Town Hall the civic flag was hoisted, while the St. George's ensign was displayed from the tower ef St. John's Church. A number of business establishments, clubs, etc., put out bunting in honour of the day. Newport. A pretty military function took place on the Marshes Recreation Ground at noon to-day in honour of the Queen's birthday. As soon as the bell in the Town HaH began to denote the midday hour the Royal I Standard, which had been run up in readiness, was unfurled, and Major Fulton, R.A., in command, gave the signal for the firing of the Royal salute. The troops on parade con- sisted of the Mountain Mule Battery the men in their foreign service pitch helmets and pugarees, the detachment of the Welsh Regiment, also stationed at the Barracks, and the 1st Battery Monmouthshire Volunteer Artillery, with the battalion band of the latter-in all about 300 men. The Mountain Mule Battery, on the right, commenced the Royal salute of 21 guns, and the Volunteer Artil- lery, on the left, handled their Sixteen- pounders efficiently, the Mule Battery completing the number of "guns." In the intervals the detachment of the Welsh Regiment fired a jèu de joie with three volleys, and the band played "God Save the Queen" in verses. The troops then saluted, gavo three cheers for the Queen, and afterwards marched past the saluting base. The whole incident occupied about 20 minutes, and was one of the prettiest object lessons in military display for the thousand odd spectators that could possibly be witnessed. Beside the officers in uniform, most of the officers of the Rifle Volunteer corps in Newport were present in mufti. Her Majesty's birthday was municipally recognised by the Union Jack being run out from the Town Hall. St. Woolos Church tower also had a like aaornmeut, and the various other public buildings and the shipping iu the docks and river were decorated.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT CWMAMAN I Inquest and Verdict. I Gilegnite Provisd to Explode by I Cencussion. Tin's morning Mr R. J. Rby* (coroner) held an inquest at the Rail way Inn, Cwmaman, touching the death of John Liywely, coliier, 3, Llauwcno- road, who was killed by the explosion of a charge of gelequite at the Cwmaman Colliery. Mr W. J. Hepyel and Mr D. E. Davies (Dewi Mabon), watcned the case on behalf of the company. From the evidence it transpired that the deceased was working iu a stall in thr six teet seam, when he had a very liard bottom to rip, some 2ft. 9in. belw the coal. Oil the 9th iust a blower of gas was m the stai), and deceased was ordered not to put any cnarges of explosives in the bottom until it I had been cleared. 011 Friday last, however, the deceases, contrary to these definite instructions, bored a hole iu the bottom and charged ib with neariy a pound of gelantine. When John Raberts, the siiotman, came round he found the charge ready for firing, but knowing the III- sauction given he did not fire it and in- formed the day fireman of the fact. Thomas Harries, the fireman, on Saturday llIorniuK saw tiie deceased and asked him how did he come to put in a charge contrary to his express instruction. Deceased said, I thought there was no danger, seeing that the blower was giving off less gas." The fireman then told him not to fire it-, but to cut the tildes off the bottom and to be very careful when lie came near the charge, so as to see that it would not explode and to thus, it appears, take it out. Wiiiie deceased WAS at this operation on Tuesday about 11.45 the chaige exploded, kilimg him instantaneously. From the evidence it was clear that the deceased in soma way or other struck the explosive itself and not the cap, as the cap was not exploded, and was found intact with the fuse attached thereto after his death close by This clearly proves that the idea so prevalent that gelignite wiil not explode by concussion is incorrect. The foreman and manager were examined ab some length Ly the Coroner as to whether it was sa.fe to rip the bottom in the manner they allowed this man to do, knowing that a charge uufired was in. They both said that it could be done with proper care, but that the deceased had evidentiy struck the explosive itself with the wedge he was using. The room being cleared, the jury took over half an hour to consider titer verdict, and ultimately returned one of "Accidental death," the Coroner, in their behalf, urging the manage- ment to exercise very great care and precaution whenever such operations as the present ones were being carried on.

PtNARTH FOOTBALL CLUB. A Successful Financial Seasen. I The balance-sheet of the Penarth Football Club for the season 1894-95 has just been issued, and the members of the club have every reason to be satisfied with the financial position. The balance at bank after the previous season has been increased from £ 12 to JB50, and with this amount m hand it is hoped that the club will be able to afford something towards the improvement of the facilities for members of the Press carrying out their duties in reporting matches. The receipts totalled £ 438 las lid, the highest gate being that on Good Friday, when Dewsbury visited Penarth, the amount taken on that occa- sion being £ 39 lis 6d, The total disbursements were B333 9s 8d, the largest item being for travelling expenses-Z 101. The annual meeting will take place at the National Schools next week, and doubtless some interest will be caused in the proposition to be moved by Mr ,T. G. Llewellyn, and seconded by Mr J. S. Dewar, that the following be adopted as a bye-law The club shall nob be carried on for the financial benefit of any member or members, and no profits or surplus income shall be divided amongst its members." The resolution is doubtless moved in order to display the bona fide amateur principles upon which the club is founded.

A FORTUNt-TELLER'S MAGPIE. A fortune-teller of the Rue de Breda has a magpie which takes up cards from its mistress's table. The bird (says a Paris correspondent) lives, for the purpsse of auguries, with an owl, :t rook a black cat, and a poodle. The window the other morning beinp open, it flew down to the grocer's over the way, and entered the shop. A servant girl was buying groceries, and had asked for the change of a lOOf. note. The grocer gave her four gold coins and the rest in silver. The magpie flew on to the counter, picked up a gold coin, and made off with it to the fortune-teller's. Servant and grocer followed. The fortune-teller on learning of the incident said the magpie had come back, but she saw no gold in its bill. A search was fruitlessly made. The servant asked the grocer to pay her again the 20f. piece the bird bad taken. He refused, because he said sheougbt to have pocketed the change at once. He hazarded the opinion that the magpie had swallowed the money, and proposed to kill it and open the body. Tho fortune-teller protested against such barbarism. A squabble ensuing, thn matter was referred to the Commissioner Police. He declared he had no power either to kill the bird or keep it in detention, and dis- missed the case.

BOBBERY AT CADOXTON- I BAHRY. A Butcher's Shop Breken Into. I Shortly after 4 o'clock this morning tho pre- I mises of Mr James Hurley, pork butcher, Barry- road, Cadoxton, were broken into by two men, I who were afterwards arrested by Police-constable Phillips. That officer was on duty Dear the spot, aud observed the two men moving quickly off from the front window of the shop. At once suspecting them of having committed a felony, he arrested both men, who were named Alfred Wood and Charles Williams, labourers, living at Cadoxton, and escorted them to the Police Station, where, being searched, a quantity of black pudding was found upon them. The window of the shop had been broken, and the accused extracted the goods through the broken pane. They were subsequently brought up before Mr John Lowden, and remanded until Monday next, when they will be brought up at Penarth Police Court.

Freedom of Cardiff. I SIR EDWARD REED WITHDRAWS I HIS ACCPT ANOE. TORY MACHINATIONS REBUKED. I Generous Offer fey Sir Edward. I It is rumoured that Sir Edward Reed feeis himself compelled to witlidraw his acceptance of the freedom of Cardiff in consequence of the motion made in the Cardiff Council on Monday, May 15th, when Councillor Trounce proposed to add words to the inscription upon the casket for the express purpose of excluding Sir Edward from the possibility of again sitting in Parliament at a future time, should he be persuaded to offer himself again as a candi- date. On returning from France on the 15th inst., and reading the Cardiff papers of the previous day, Sir Edward Reed regarded this motion as an indication that the freedom presentation was being used by the Conservatives for a party purpose, and at once wrote privately to a Cardiff' friend (said to be the Mayor), stating that although he bad not in any way changed his mind respecting retire- ment, he could not accept the free- dom under any bonds or obligations whatever. He was quite capable of appre- ciating the situation and acting honourably in it without Mr Trounce's assistance, and he regarded the Council motion and debate as compromising the situation and totally abolishing the pleasure and satisfaction with which he would otherwise have accepted and enjoyed the honour. It is believed that illness and domestic anxiety alone have prevented Sir Edward from following up his private letter by an official one, which is, how- ever, daily expected, in which he will state that the presentation of the freedom would now be only a mark of his voluntary surrender of his personal and political freedom in the future. He feels obliged to withdraw his acceptance, and leave the memory of long and pleasant relations with the Cardiff people un- recorded on its municipal records, but not, he trusts, unrecorded in the respect and affections of those whom he has so long and pleasantly served. As money has been spent upon a casket, and as he is unwilling to have the ratepayers put to needless expense on his account, Sir Edward will request per- mission to bear himself whatever charges may have been incurred in the matter. We can oiily say for ourselves that we trust Mr Trounce and his colleagues, who for the first time probably in history sought to sell a public distinction at the price of the future freedom and honour of a public; mail, will be satisfied with this last political move and its results.
