Soldiers can be SDP ared from Foochow, and some arrests of ring- eaders can be effected, and that will quell it; but not,the rebels will haverecruitedmsufficient numbers to make a rising a success. Our girls' and women's schools have of course been disabled, and Your ladies have left for Foochow-I need hardly Bay, very sorely against their wili. It was hard for them to leave their loved work and their manyfriends among the Chinese, but they saw clearly it was best, for they could not help them in the event of a disturbance, and might rather hinder their flight and make concealment more difficult. Our Consul wrote strongly urging that this step ,abould be taken, and the American Consul wrote to his people in the same strain. So the ladies have gone, but very sadly, all of them wishing they were men, and not obliged to retreat. :But I think they see in all that is happening the finger of God pointing to cessation of their work for a time. Perhaps that they may leave Him to alone, and when they come back they may be astonished to find the wonders that the spirit of God has done in their absence.

LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. Theatre Roval (Cardiff), Admirers of sensationalism in drama can surely wish for nothing more thrilling than a piece such as the Flight for Life." Into this play of Mr F. A. Scudamore's sensational scenes and start- ling incidents are simply crowded. Opening with a garden scene, there are situations enough in tho ilrst act to almost suffice for an ordinary play. A fiyin" machine is introduced in the midst of unexplored Africa, and thero are other incidents of an equally startling nature. The author, Mr Scudamore, takes the title role, Cnthbert Victor, an African explorer, with ghill. and ability; Mr Albert Brasque sustaining in an admirable mittiner the part of Wilfred Dycer, a society savage. Ac; Hilda Hohnes, the heroine of Eldor- ado.-M'ss Katherine Clarke is very good. and Miss Lizzie Watkins's pourtrnyal of Ruth Everend is as attractive as it is clever. There was a special morning performance 011 Monday. I The Grand Theatre (Cat-diff). The continuous efforts of Mr Clarence Sounes to raise the class of the Grand Theatre have re- ceived that success which they so thoroughly deserve. It is no easy thing to undertake such a task as Mr Sounes has faced, and the patrons of the Grand nnd admirers of the drama must have felt pleased as they noticed the gradual and sure advancement of the theatre. On Monday the house was reopened after a lapse of a few weeks, and during this time a number of minor improvements, which all add to the comfort of the theatre-goers, have been effected. A new, and so far as Cardiff is concerned, unique step has been taken by the management in the en- gagement of a ladies' orchestra. Under the direction of Madame M. Hirsch on Mon- day, this orchestra acquitted itself admirably. The piece which is staged this week is The Two Hussars," by Walter Burnot and Harry Bruce. It is a story of the Crimean War and the many exciting incidents of that period. The play is produced by Mr Bruce's Company, under the direction of Mr Alfred Davies. Mr Sounes has made two first-class engagements for the immediate future, including, the week after next, The Triumph of the Philistines," which has had such a successful run at the St. James's and His Excellency for the week following. The Empire (Cardiff). I The Cardiff Empire was crowded at each of its performances on Monday evening with an appreciative company of holiday folk, who again testified to the zeal and energy shown by Mr Oswald Stoll in providing a first-class entertainment to amuse the masses. The pro- gramme was fall cf excellent turns," and was one of the best seen at this immensely popular house for some weeks. The Keene and Ileene's combinationin the amusing comedietta Lucette's Husbands was the premier item contributed to the performance, and this was greatly enjoyed, the singing and dancing, especially that of tne Mascotte quartette, being highly entertaining. Miss Melinda May who, it will be remembered, so successfully played the part of Crusoe at the Grand Theatre pantomime last season, also sang a < election of songs in a very pleasing manner and Mr T. W. Newton, in his original ventrilo- quial exhibition, convulsed the house with laugh- ter with the amusing patter which issued from the lips of his wooden dolls. Miss Dot McCarthy, a charming light comedy songstress and dancer Miss Minnie Moore, an excellent contralto singer and a pupil of Garcia and Randegger D. W. Watson, cornet soloist and post-horn expert and the Brothers Long, eccentric knockabouts, also contributed to the programme. The Empire (Newport). Here also large numbers of holiday-makers found a splendid array of artistes to provide amusement on Monday evening. George Beau- champ heads the bill, and with his original Git yer 'air cut," he met with an unqualified SUCCPSS the Three Sisters Payne provide a turn of song and dance which would be difficult to equal; while the Sisters Wright, duettists and dancers Frank Leon, comic Corii Duncan, serio-comio The Mazzettis; Venie Fortescue; and the eccentric Harlows, are very enjoyable in their various departments. The Empire (Swansea). A regular holiday company appeared at the Empire, Swansea, at each of the performances on Monday evening, and were given a cordial welcome by crowded houses. The principal feature of the entertainment was an exceedingly smart" turn by O'Connor and Brady. a couple of most amusing eccentric comedians, who, while they occupied the stage, kept the audiences in a continual roar of laughter. They were supported by the Two Bostons, another entertaining pair J. H. Wakefield, the mdiarubber-faced funni- osity Mr Charles Paver, comedian Sam Torr, a good character vocalist Ada Russell, Tyrolean vocalist- and Cissy Russell, serio-comedy song- stress. The Panopticon (Cardiff). I The annual August carnival opened on Monday at the Panopticon, Cardiff, under very auspicious circumstances. The comfortable and well-appointed theatorium was closely packed throughout the day, and the adjacent curiosity halls were extended a great deal of patronage, the various waxwork novelties and incidental entertainments being much appreciated. The stage performances included a galaxy of variety and fun, and were given continuously for 12 hours, commencing at 11 o'clock in the morning. The principal items of interest; were Jack Wan- nop and Tom Thompson, the London and Kent wrestling champions, who gave some splendid exhibitions of wrestling. Miss Maggie Edwards, N i i !ss T?laggie li,dwar d s, formerly of the Swiss Choir, sang a couple of ballads with a delightful sweetness, and the Sisters Laurie contributed several good selections of song and dance. In addition to these there also appeared Hyde and Hilton, a pair of laughable comic knockabouts Frank Whifcely, a smait nfrgro comedian and dancer Nellie Coleman, a capital songstress and dancer Bob Gates, a very good comic the Sisters Cunning- ham, a couple of excellent duottists and dancers Smith and Johnson, coloured vocalists and Miss Alice Oakley, a charming character songstress.

I The Brussels Mystery. I BODIES Of THE VICTIMS IDENTIFIED. The Press Association Lynn correspondent states that the deceased woman-found in the canal at Willebroeck, near Brussels, has been identified as Edith Helen Bockeli. She was 36 years of age, and was the daughter of John Hamsou, formeriy a London cattle salesman and farmer and dealer, of Watlington, Norfolk, now a butcher of London-road, King's Lynn. In 1881 she married Frederick Bockeli, who at that time was an upholsterer in Brussels, and afterwards became proprietor of the public baths in that city, at 67, Boulevard Hanspec. Mrs Bockeli had issue, the two deceased children, Marie ..Jeanie (aged 12) and Frederick (aged 4). Her husband died in 1890, after which time she went to reside at 18, Rue de la Grasselor, Avenue Lowse, Brussels, and about two years ago she removed to Lyun with her children, and has since been residing there with her parents. She left last Monday with her children, taking a monthly return ticket to Brussels, her alleged object being to visit her husband's executors and his relatives. She was in cheerful spirits,' and a letter since received manifested no symptoms of despondency. She was in receipt of an income of between two and three hundred pounds per annum and the property from which this was derived now passes half to her parents and the remainder to her husband's friends in I Brussels. Chief Constable Ware, of the Lynn police, received a long communication by tele- graph on Monday morning from the Brussels police, and he ha.d to break the sad news to the parents of the deceased. It is not believed by them and their friends in Lynn that she ever intended to commit suicide or to murder her children. Inquiries are still proceeding. I Polioe Inquiries at Brussels. I BRUSSELS, Monday.—A post-mortem examina. tion has revealed no traces of violence or bruises of any kind on the bodies found in the Wille- broeck Cttnal,4,tnd it is believed that death in each case was due to drowning. During their search yesterday the police came upon a man's waist- coat in the canal, and this leads to the belief that there may be a fourth victim. Madame Lepoint, the keeper of a fancy goods stores, remembers selling the purse and a small crocodile skm pocket-book about a week ago to a foreign gentle. man, about 35 or 40 years of age, who was accompanied by a small boy and by a woman, apparently a nurse. All of them spoke English. The gentleman asked that the articles should be sent to the Hotel Metropole, and this was done. Inquiries at the hotel have failed to discover any- thing definite, as there were several English families staying there at the time, and several English and American gentlemen. The names of four gentlemen were John Smithers, A. O'Neill, Brack, and Cook. The hotel porter remembers receiving the articles and handing them to another to deliver to 'the address on the parcel. I The hall porter also remembered a gentleman going out with his children and asking what time there was a train for Vilvorde. Among the names on the hotel register are those of a lady with a young girl and little boy, who arrived from the Hague, and were acquainted with another English family in the hotel. The police are convinced the deceased arrived on Monday last by the steamer City of London, but the vessel cannot bo traced. -Rcu ter. Foul Play Suspected. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.] I BRUSSELS, Monday.—The further investigation of the drowning mystery at Neder-over-Hembeek, on Willebroeck Canal, near this city, has con- vinced some of the most experienced detective officers here that they have to deal not with a case of accident or suicide, as was at first supposed, but with crime. There is no proof of any intention on the part of the deceased lady and her children to de- liberately throw themselves into the canal, and the theory that their deaths were due to accident is discounted by the fact that no trace of any boat, through the capsizing of which they might be supposed to have been drowned, can be discovered. The generally accepted theory now is that they were waylaid, robbed, and thrown into the water by some of the numerous bad characters who infest the banks of the canal in the vicinity where their bodies were recovered. The Brussels police during the past two days have been in constant telegraphic communication with the police authorities of King's Lynn, Norfolk, and the deceased woman appears to have been identific-d as Mrs Bockeli, a widow, and daughter of a butcher in that town, the girl and boy being her children. Tlie.rf,n--ains were interred yesterday, but the clothes of the deceased and other effects have beenUdentified by an hotel keeper named Bay and his wife, who state that the party arrived in Brussels from London on Wednesday last, and took a rocm at their hotel, Hotel de la Marine. M. Bay states that the mother appeared to be about 32 years of age. She spoke both English and French fluently. The nana she entered in the hotel book Wag" Marie Elsie Weilers, Rentiere, Richmond, England." Her luggage consisted of a large trunk and small bag. The lady and the two children who accompanied her left the hotel on Wednesday evening shortly before 6 o'clock. After they had gone out the chamber- maid reported everything in the room was in good order, and that their nightdresses had been put out, in the anticipation apparently of their return towards bedtime. They did not return, however, and nothing was heard of them until the bodies were recovered in the canal. After receiving this declaration from Mr Bay, the police proceeded to the Hotel de ]a Marine, and examined the luggage which deceased had left in their room there. In the small bag they found a number of family trinkets and in a trunk an important clue was discovered in the shape of a note-book, on cover of which wa3 inscribed the name, "Maria, Bockeli," while the same name was found written inside a hat. There was also a purse containing 2s. The linen was marked with the number 741, from which the police inferred that this was the number of the little girl at a public school in box. There were also found three return tickbts to London, available for a month. The chambermaid when interrogated was unable to say whether she had heard the children address the lady who accompanied them as mother. From evidence thns collected it is conjectured that the deceased lady and her children intended to go to Lacken to see the exhibition now open there, called "Venice in Brussels," that they lost their way, and on reaching the lonely spot on the banks of the canal were robbed and murdered. This hypothesis is supposed to be borne out by the fact that no money—beyond a few francs—circular notes, or other papers have been found on the persons of the deceased or at the hotel. The police are therefore anxious to ascertain what papers or other valuables Madame Bockell had in her possession. They are also endeavouring to trace a cabdriver who oonveyed them to the Hotel de III. Marine on their arrival.

THE LATEST THEORY. I The Press Association Lynn correspondent, telegraphing this afternoon, states that the theory now prevails that the little boy, Frederick Bockel, who was very frolicsome and fond of water, fell into the canal near Brussels, and that his mother and sister lost their lives in attempt- ing to save him. It appears that Mr Bockel died suddenly in bed, and that Mrs Bockel found him lying dead by her side in the morning. The shock was so great that she was seized with paralysis, but eventually almost recovered. She, however, lost a partial use ot her hands, and was unable to dress or undress or to feed herself. Miss L. Hamsoti, sister of Mrs Bockel, arrived in Brussels this morning to identify the bodies of the deceased.

Boer Outrages. Ir Horses Shy at the Dead Bedies.  HorBes Shy at the Dead 13?dies. Sir Ellis Ashmead.Bartlett sends us (Daily Chronicle) an extract from the Johannesburg btar of June 20th which is too long for us to publish, -but which confirms many of the charges of out- rage brought against the Boers by the correspon. dent whose letter we printed a few days ago. The writer in the Star says that the road is still covered with the natives who have been brought in, and that one traveller complained that his horses were shying all the way all dead bodies. He continues The corpse (headless) of Magoeba, and those of the 25 or 30 poor wretches murdered with him in the bush,still lie there. The woman and child still on her breast lie in the same place to-day, and have been seen by dozens of people, European. and native. Scores of dog-torn bodies litter the road passed by the coanhe3 every day. Thee are facts capable of the most amp'e proofs-nay, impossible of denial; and 1, as one of those who were present when her Majesty s Commissioners in 1881 promised these poor wretched natives that the transfer back to Boer from British rule should not bring affliction on them, await in expectancy what action her Majesty s Government intend to take. .h '-12- î >

SALISBURY BABY CASE. The hearing of the Salisbury baby claimant case was resumed on Monday. Dr. Read, questioned by the judge, said he had no suspicion anything was wrong until the solicitor for the trustees of the estate told him he believed there had been no child. Sir Edward Clarke proposed to put in the evidence taken on commission of Mrs Marson, who lived with the Wrights at the time the illegitimate child was born. Mr Spokes said the evidence was so extra- ordinary he should require to cross-examine Mrs Maraon. The case for the defence having closed, Mr Spokes for Mrs Salisbury asked that the evidence of Mrs Malson might be read, and the judge con- sented. This evidence was to the pffect that when the child was fetched from Wright's by a woman in a long black cloak, she followed the woman in another cab, but lost sight of the woman. Wit- uess was told Dr. Capon had said the child would be well locked after and come into plenty of money. On the application of Mr Spokes, Mrs Salis- bury was recalled, but before this the jury sent a communication to his Lordship. It transpired afterwards that thejury had suggested they should retire to consider the whole case, but Mr Spokes asked that Mrs Salisbury might be examined first. Mrs Salisbury then gave a fiat denial to all the evidence of Dr. Capon and Mrs Ash, and denied that she ever wanted to adopt a child. The case was adjourned. BABY IN COURT. I Mrs Salisbury Re-cancl. I The trial was resumed to-day in the Queen's Bench Division. The baby claimant herself made her first appearance since the long adjournment, and was kept amused with a feeding bottle and a sponge cake. Mrs Salisbury tended the baby with great care, and frequently kissed it. She was again re-called, and denied that she asked Dr. Capon to give evidence on her behalf on March 19th, 1894. A!l she asked him was that he should examine her, but he said it was too late to do so. Dr. J. Parrot, of Dulwich, who had attended at over 3,000 births, gave expert evidence in support of plaintiff's case. Mrs Pike, recalled by Mr Spokes, denied most emphatically the whole of the evidence of Mrs Ash and Dr. Capon. She denied that she knew the Wrights, or ever asked Dr. Capon about a baby. Dr. Capon, on the contrary, asked her whether she knew anyone who could adopt the baby of a doctor's daughter, who had got into trouble. She never saw Mrs Salisbury show Mrs Ash a pad and say Look, here is the baby." She also totally denied the liver and bacon incident. The only pad witness ever saw was the one Mrs Salisbury had in her arms a few minutes ago (indicating the baby). (Loud laughter.) Mr Young, a solicitor, who formerly acted for Mrs Salisbury, said Dr. Capon never hinted there was anything wrong until Mrs Ash's evidence was communicated to him. This concluded the evidence on both sides, and Sir E. Clarke addressed the jury.

TO-DAY'S GRtCKET. Gloucestershire v. Sussex. I BRISTOL, Tuesday.—The rain was so heavy: during j the night that it was quite impossible to use the old wicket so a new one was prepared, and a start made at 12.20. Sussex won the toss, and lost Marlow in the second over. The game had only been in progress 15 minutes when rain delayed play for 10 minutes, aid only the addi- tional overs had been sent down by Townsend and Jessop when another interruption occurred. This time the downpour was very heavy, and it is likely to cause serious delay. The rain which fell at 1 o'clock prevented the ganio being proceeded with till a quarter to 2. Between that time and the hour for luncheon Jessop clean bowled Raiijitsinbji, who had made seventeen out of the twenty-six put on for the second wicket. SUSSEX.—IstlDMDKS.

In Tyler's first over Rawlin eauilled Somerset's total. Nichols bowled from the pavilion end. Rawlin completed 50 aft^r batting 55 minutes, but was then taken at slip, the partnership having realised 86. Buns then came slower,though Lucas drove Tyler out of the ground for six. O'Brien made some fine hits, and Lucas reached his tiftv in an hour and a half. O'Brien and Lucas were both out at 217, but Webbe and Warner added 28 before the latter was caught at slip.

I KENNINGTON OVAL, Tuesday—In duU, unsettled weather, and before another large, crowd the game was resumed to-day at 20 minutes to 12. Lockwood went in with Key, but left all the scoring to his captam who hit out in capital style and made runs freely from Ilardstaff. At 146 Dixon went on and Attewcll crossed over, and these changes soon proved effective. With seven runs added Dixon bowled Key, and with the score unaltered got Wood leg before. Richardson was quickly caught at the wicket, and the innings closed at a quarter past 12for 158, or 75 runs on. Rain prolonged the interval, and it was 20 minutes to 1 o'clock when Notts went in. Shrewsbury and Jones opened the innings to Hicha.rdso i and Lolnnaun. The two batsmen played very steadily for some tin e, and then began to score a trifle more freel. With Hayward on, however, Shrewsbury was out t,o a beautiful running catch at short bquare leg at 22, and wickets fell fast. Richardson wens on at the pavilion end, and off his bowling Jones was caught by the wicket-keeper standing back. Then at 23 Flowers was run out after having been missed at slip, and with one run added Gunn was caught 3,t long-off. Wright and Dixon then stayed togther till lunch-*ir>ie. SURREY.—1st Innings.

During such time as play wasiu progress yesterdav Warwickshire occupied the wickets and scored 128 for the loss of 8 batsmen, Pereira being not out for 30 and Pallett (not out) 0. A start was made just before a quarter past 12, and about half an hour's cricket* proved sufficient to finish off the Warwickshire innings for 144, the last two wickets having thus added 16 runs. A large number of spectators had assembled. AJec Hearne and Mason began Kent's innings at 10 minutes past 1 o'clock, and, as on so many other occasions this summer, mde a capital start.

The ex-Australian was extremely deadly when the visitors, went in, and they were rapidly dismissed for the small total of 30. leaving Hampstead easily victorious.

AN ARCTIC EXPLORER. I The young Norwegian Antarctic -explorer, Mr I Borchgrevink, seems to have created quite a sen- sation at the Geographical Congress. His plain, unvarnished narratives of a trip to the Antarctic regions, considerably to the south ot the point reached by Sir James Ross, 54 years ago, was listened to with the utmost enthu- siasm. Me Borchgrevink can claim the honour of being the first European, so far as is known, who has set foot on the Antarctio con- tinent. His feat was accomplished in conditions which would have made ajess intrepid explorer shrink from the enterprise. Mr Bcrchgrevink went out in an old vessel which had been tossing about the sea for some 23 years his ship was badly fitted out and his supply of scientific instruments was of the scantiest. Nevertheless, he has rei.umsd with ? narrative aboundm? )n iutere??t aud vahi?Me inforn?tio)!, and has achieved a Kreat deal more than many explorers who have enjoyed the benent of preparations for their expeditions on the -0?t elaborate scale. Mr Borchgrevink is clearly a remarkable man.

A Policeman's Romance. A DREAM OF WEALTH, Police-constable Taylor's romance is over, For I fourteen years he zealously perambulated his' b8at in Bermondsey, gaining the esteem of his superior officers and the respect of all who knew him except those who broke the law, the police regulations, aud the public peace. Suddenly some tempter whispered into his ear that he was the long-lost heir to a vast fortune, consisting of. accumulated sums amounting to £ 120,000 in' golden sovereigns, and large estates in the counties of Surrey and Berks. Taylor believed the stories that were told him, resigned his' place in the force, with the weekly salary of 55s attaching to it, laid aside his helmet and his truncheon for ever, as he supposed, and sallied forth to enjoy his wealth. When his good fortune became known be received nearly two thousand letters of congratulation, mostly from; people of whose names he was ignorant, but who claimed acquaintance with him in childhood, and boped they would not be forgotten. But when: the constable had spent his savings in makiu? inquiries about his property he found that, like mot stories of lon-106t heirs, the informatIOn on which he had acU J was all wron?.and Ile gold and the estates simple myths. A number of Bermondsey people, who had known him as a r faithful policeman, subscribed a small sum to tide him over the (lifhculties in which he found?l himself, an a1"o p?t?'ont-? the Commissioner at' Scotland Yard to reinstate him in the force. The request has at length been granted, and Taylor:! has once iiiu., the helmet and uniforml associated with the happiest 14 years of his life His dream of wealth, beyond the regulation. pension, has gone for ever.

SOLDIER'S LIFE IN INDIA. I interesting Description by a Cardiff Man. Apropos of the march of the 1st Battalion tha Welsh Regiment through Wales, the following description of the doings of the 2nd Battalion the Welsh Regiment in India, furnished us by a Cardiff man in the ranks, may not be out of place:—The 2nd Battalion the Welsh Regiment —the old 69th South Lincolns-re stationed at Trimulgherry, in the Secunderabad dist»-±rir. close proximity to the seat and stronghold of H.H. the Nizam, native Prince and Ruler of the Deccati, under tho command of Lieut.-General Sir It Stewart, K.C.B. The regiment is entrenched in the Tritmilgherry entrenchment, surrounded by a wide, deep, stone-sided moat, crossed by three drawbridges, which can be closed in a moment it necessary. At each corner of the entrenchment is a large bastion, whose armament consists cf. two largor cannons, one sinallcannon, and one Shrapnell shell thrower. Inside the entrenchment is a large number of bungalows, clean, healthy, and commodious, while a fine avenue of trees runs through the centre, under which in the cool evenings it is a pleasure to smoke a pipe and dream. Magazine, stores, wells, arsenal, treasury, steam bakery, undergronnd store of provisions, in fact every- thing to enable the regiment TO WITHSTAND A LONG SIEGE are to be found. Cleanliness on every hand ¡ delights the eye after trainpingover thcliot, sandy, dusty phms. Tbe regiment is under the com- mandof Lieut.-Col. Holmes, who is a most popular officer, and he has every cause to be proud of the regiment under his command. It is without doubt one of the first regiments in India for drill, sport, and general character. From recent reports by Lieu tenant-Genera I Sir R. C. Stewart, the regiment stands very high indeed for its general efficiency in drill, duties, and in all its regimental arrangements "excellent," For the use and benefit of the soldier in this regiment the follow. mg institutes are always opaii:—The regimental coffee shops Army Temperance Association rooms, Church of England Temperance Associa- tion rooms, regimental reading rooms, library, billiard and card-rooms. Tlieregimental coffeeshcp is replete with every familyand domestic requisite, and groceries, and English goods are procured here at a much less cost than through native and other tradesmen. Soldiers are also regaled with good substantial suppers at very cheap rates. The liquor bar and canteen are supplied by Messrs McCuiu's, Glasgow, beer being retailed at five annas per quart, stout or porter at four annas per quart. At the temperance rooms teetotalers can obtain all kinds of light refreshments, the Army Temperance Association-rooms giving its members a periodical quadrille party. THE REGIMENTAL LIBRARY I comprises most of the standard novels, works on I science and art, iiction, and is well kept up and occasionally new stock is procured. The library IS worked in similar principle to the Free Library at home. The reading-room is the greatest boou the soldiers have, most of the home weeklies, London and provincial, being at hand. Amongst those most esgerly sought for are Answers, Pear- son's Weekly, l'it Bits, Graphic, Cardiff Times. After mail day the Cardiff Tilnes is a wreck on account of so many rushing to get the latest news of Cardiff and South \V ale. III the way of SPORTS AND RECREATION I there are the 1st and Gild teams of the Regimental Rugby and Association Clubs, Regimental Cricket Club, and the Regimental Tug- of-War Team, all of which have done yeoman service since coming out, with the result of enriching the regiment's trophies by several Presidency and local cups. Each com- pany has its own games club and its own gear, teams being formed in each company for Rugby, Association, cricket, quoits, handball, and bowl- ing. The men have the use of a fine gymnasium, of which Lieutenant Ready is superintendent, and its collection of gymnastic and athletic gear is one oi the, best in the Army outside Aldershot. In addition to the above handball, bowling, and lawn tennis are freely practised by all in the regtment, which possesses a good bowling alley, a fine handball court, and several lawn tennis courts. Wales has her nightingales even in India. The fomous Royal Cambrian Glee Society is one of the finest and best choral societies in the service. The regiment includes one or two old eisteddfod prizemen, and the Glee Society has had the honour of sini IJg before H. R. R. Prince Ferdinand, H.H. the Nizam, Sir R. W. Stewart, K.C.B., and many other notables. It is almost ENTIRELY COMPOSED OF WELSHMEN, I and where they are they must bing. What a pleasmg sight it would be for some of the old folks at home to hear on a lovely, cool, moonlight night some 40 or 50 of their countrymen out on the plains of India singing the sweet and pathetic songs of Wales arouud the camp fire. There is a fine regimental theatre and a finer proscenium, entirely painted by Major A. F. White, who is the energetic trainer of the Regimental Dramatic Club. The regiment can also boast of a first-class minstrel troupe. Tho efforts of the Welsh Regiment are so well appreciated that civilians and military residents come in for miles around to hear our different concerts, nigger gaffs, and pantomimes, the last of I which was the "Babes in the Wood." All these affairs are got up, rehearsed,Jand gone through by the men themselves, assisted by Colonel Holmes, with his genial and fatherly advice, aud with the co-operation of other obliging officers. Mora! and spiritual efforts are also not left out of account in this regiment, some of the more earnest Christians in the regiment having a prayer room set apart, where those who desire it I can find spiritual grace and meet their comrades in reading and prayer. The room is open for several hours daily, and is supplied with plenty of good papers and books, aud it has already been J found to be of great benefit to many in the regiment. THE CLIMATE OF THIS STATION I is certainly very trying, but every effort to Sicure sound sanitation in the lines has been made by all ranks, with the result that the regiment has lost very few since its arrival in India in comparison with the high rates of mortality in other corps. It must not be supposed that with all this sport, etc.,the Welsh Regiment has forgotten tl:e sterner realities of soldiery. No. They have their parades, duties, route marching, outposts, field days, and the hundrod aDd one other duties to do, and they have to be donp, and doue well, to meet the appioval of the exacting general officer commanding the Presidency, General Mansfield Clerke, who allows no shirking. The sports, recreations, different meetings for enjoyment, temperance rooms, and clubs all combine to unite and knit all ranks together in firm friendship and comradeship, and make a soldier's life worth living. The regi- mental paper, The Men of Harlech, is another great medium for keeping all hands cognisant of the doings in both battalions. Edited by Mr j Rhodes, it is a bright, witty little paper; but badly requires news from England and also home subscribers to make it pay well.

CHARGE AGAINST A JOURNALIST I Painful Case at Knighton. I I- I On Saturday, at the Ivnignton Police Court, Win, OakJey Bauks, a tnan of education and ability, and who at one time held a high social position in the town, was charged with embezzling the sum of 143 9d belonging to Richard Brown, wholesale manufacturer, Spring-hill, Birmingham, on the 19th June. It appeared from the evidence that Mr Banks was engaged on a weekly wage and a commission to sell goods—sauces, polishes, etc.—but be was not author. ised to receive any money for goods delivered. Mr Banks, however, according to his own Statement, was in a state of poverty, and was tempted to commit the act. The prosecutor did not wish to press tho case unduly, but had taken up this one case, there being eight or Dille more, as a matter of principle," aud <13 a large employer. The magistrates took a lenient view of tile cme, and sentenced the prisoner to seven days' imprisonment without hard labour. The magistrates, the officials:, and spectators were all deeply affected, aud the magistrates, no doubt, could plainly see if a fine had been imposed it would at once have been paid by his syniijathisers 111 court, and consequently wonid have been 110 punishment to prisoner. Mr Banks had held the post of correspondent to several papers.

Many of the old attists of the troupe have this year rejoined the Carl Rosa Company, who are abimfc to start upon their tweaty-fir*t ;Zuna the province*-

St. Wilfrid Handicap at Ripon yester- day in grand style, atoning for his failure in the Newton Cup the other day, in which he bolted and travelled a long way before the fliig fell. Followers 01 trotting will regret to hear of the death of J. W. Krach, who recently came over from America to superintend aud drive Mr Cruit's horses.

Tried it was thought to have aD excellent chance for the Stewards' Cup, her connections first backed her substantially for the Croxteth Plate at Liverpool-on the principle, proliaby, of little fish being sweet. But when Grig, conceding 171b, ran clean away from her, it was obvious that she had no ohanoe whatever for the Goodwood scurry. Yesterday Queen of the Chase was pulled out for the Alexandra Handicap at Alexandra Park, but she failed to give 71b to a selling plater like Merry Shepherd, the odds laid, on the Epscm filly being upset by a head. At Chichester on Saturday George Harris,, described as a bookmaker, was charged with stealing H3 in money belonging to George Henry isriscoe, a youth hailing from Cardiff. The evi- dence of the prosecutor was to-the effect that on Tuesday be laid out the money in question with the prisoner, who was operating outside the silver ring. His selected horse (Labrador) proved suc- cessful, but although he made repeated attempts to get his money he was not successful, prisoner' Potting him off with various excuse- Aocordingly on Thursday prosecutor placed the matter in the lirnds of the police. When arrested by P.C. Dorey prisoner said if he would allow him to go he would get the money. On being searched at the police station accused only had a iialfpenny In his possession. He now pleaded guilty, and was sent to gaol for three weeks with hard labour.

^——mmmmmm— NEWPORT ATHLETIC SPORTS.1 I The Newport Athletic Club held its 22nd annual [autumn athletic and cyoling meeting on Monday, The entries were well up to the averag in number, and the quality was more than main. tamed, a number of leading athletes and pro- minent cyclists figuring in the lists. Unfor- tunately the weather proved most unfavourable, rain falling nearly the whole of the afternoon. Notwithstanding that the going both on the cycling track and the grass were heavy, the times were fairly good, and some splendid contests were witnessed during the afternoon in both depart- ments. The spectators numbered close on 5,000. The following were the results of the difierent events HALF-MIXE BICYLE FIANDICAP.-Fir.-t beat-1, S. E. Baker, Newport, 48yds 2, S. H.

CHARGE AGAINST LADY I GUNNiNG, Illness of Defendant's Father, I Lady Frances Rase Gunning was charged on remand at Bow-street to-day with uttering a forged bill of exchange. Mr Horace Avory. who prosecuted for the Treasury, said he had received a medical certificate from Northampton stating that defendant's father (Rev. W. H. Spencer; wasill and that the journey to London would probably be fatal. He was, therefore, unable to call the rev. gentleman at present. Wm. Collins, grocer, of Great Houghton, said that until 1891 he acted as churchwarden to the Rev. Mr Spencer. Witness having inspected documsnts purporting to be signed by him (witness) declared none of the signatures were his. Cross-examined, witness said he did not think he had ever witnessed a document signed by Mr Spencer, and he had never done eo for Lady Gunning. Mr Holloway, for the aooused,-said personally he would not require any proof from Mr Spencer,' and suggested a committal as matters now stood Mr Avory pointed out that this eculd hardly be done unless the accused chose to make some statement. He should call one witnes3 to-day, and then ask for an adjournment to decide whether to prefer any charges in respect of the Addison Club. George Francis Swainson deposed to finding certain papers and indiarubbsr stamps at the club. During the examination of this witness Sir John Bridge remarked that a number of ladies formed themselves into a club and tried to do a man's business, and they naturally failec. Mr Beron I don't think Lady Gunning failed through lack of business ability. The prisoner was again remanded. The ques- tion of bail was raised by Mr Holloway, but be agreed that it should stand over until. the nex hearing.
