The "Standard" "Mr Wlml'eds, like David Cox, is not depen- dent on scenery that is pretty any more than on sctnery that is grand. Noble Conn or dainty form is a thing of indiffelence to him as an artist. Indeed, it is not form at all, or at 11 events not form that is per- manent, that interests him seriously. It is flying light and the shadow of a eloud over a great land. i\Ir Wimperis is the poet of th • eveq-day country. The thing lives but by how few strokes ?

I The Man About Town. Do you play golf ? I cannot keep clear of the golf enthusiasts, and the enthusiasts cannot keep golf out of their conversation. It crops up in the most unexpected of places, and everything suggests golf. The other afternoon, for instance, when listen- ing to the seductive charms of snatches of The Golden Legend" as it was in process of rehearsal, and gossiping about recent musical events in London, I had a volume about the size of a Prayer Book placed in my hand with the question Do you kfow that V The that was a copy of the Rules of Golf," clearly and fully explained. Have you seen our golf links Fine game splendid exercise bracing breezes finest game invented. Come over to Porth- cawl and I'll show you round and get you interested. Stay the week end, do you a world of good. All right, some other time but what's that number now ?* Next comes 0 Glad- some Light.' We'll have The Golden Legend now golf some other day I calculate that I have received five hundred invitations to play golf, and I have con- cluded that in many instances the enthusiastic golfer uses this form of invitation as a means of in- troducing the topic of conversation. In the Theatre on Monday, Golf rose superior in charms to Trilby. A man of medicine and of Golf pointed out to me the ruddy face of an auditor, the champion Golf player, and I heard again the praises of Golf and the excellencies of the Links at Penarth for the nine hundred and ninety ninth time, and received an invitation Golf must be the enemy of the medical profession. Serious accidents—those trifling matters described in football parlance as winded, "laid out," hacked," "punched in the face," "broken collar bone -do not occur in the game of golf, and I notice that the players mostly carry a ruddy glow of health ) in their cheeks. The world does move. How hr past the days of open religious persecution we have wandered, the ceremony in Cathedral-road yesterday provides a good indication. The intellectual night which gathered over Europe and made the earth awful with the groans of the persecuted Jews and Christians who did not bow the knee and enslave the intellect to Spain has lifted so completely that one is apt to be surprised by the contemplation of the progress to- wards complete religious freedom that has been made. We do indeed live in the day- break of better things. The Synagogue—a striking building, judging from the archi- tect's designs—which is to be erected in Cathedral-road will form a characteristic addition to the religious buildings in Cardiff. The Inscriptions on the corner stones which were laid yesterday will remain a permanent proof of the spirit of tolerance, of friendli- ness and respect, which has developed during long years between the Hebrew race and the Christian population of the country. Friendly interest increases in the religious rites and ceremonies as well as in the history of the Jew. Already one notices the beginnings of a special literature, for which ZangwiU by his" Ghetto Tragedies" and Children of the Ghetto has done much in arousing public interest. The literature of the subject has not been thoroughly popularised, however, and few have courage to master Dean Milman. It must be through fiction that the mass of the people will understand the Hebrew com- munities of to-day, but by whatever means, one hopes that the wider knowledge which leads to tolerance and sympathy as well as respect, will come and come quickly. Lamb expressed a striking truth in his own quaint way when he observed that the Jews are a piece of stubborn antiquity, compared with which Stonehenge is in its nonage. They date beyond the pyramids." One is struck by the age of the race, and its persistent vitality and assertiveness. Before these lines get into the hands of my readers the new Guildford-crescent Baths will have been opened by the Mayoress. Ijf cleanliness be next to Godli- ness we shAll be more righteous as a com- munity to-morrow than we are to-day, unless indeed the whole of the members of the Corporation show their approval of the doctrine by plunging in to-day immmediately after the opening ceremony Cardiff toes the line with Newport late in the day. There is a disposition to grumble at the size of the baths, but this can be said, that they have been built on the very best modern scientific and engineering principles, and the utter- most use has been made of the somewhat awkward and restricted site. The advocates of a swimming club for Cardiff have now an opportunity to press their claims on the attention of the Baths Committee. Naturally, every decision of a public body gives dissatisfaction to the minority. In all cases where competitive schemes are consi- dered, the majority are the disappointed and the successful one pleased. It is natural, and so long as the conditions of the competition or the contract are observed no one can reasonably grumble. The General Purposes Committee of the Corpora- tion-which is the Corporation itself-has caused considerable dissatisfaction and dis- gust by their decision in the matter of the designs submitted for a casket in which to enclose the Freedom to be presented to the Prince of Wales. I heartily sympathise with the discontent and dissatisfaction expressed, and I think the jewellers who, at the invitation of the Corporation, went to considerable trouble and expense in sub- mitting designs and specifications have just cause for complaint. They have been badly treated. The complaint is not mainly on a matter of opinion, of like or dislike, but the decision of the majority which staggers anyone with an eye to the beautiful, or who knows anything of artistic design and emblematical decoration. Two designs were selected from the rest as being preferable and, of course, one decided upon by the majority. I have examined the designs carefully, and of the rejected one I will say, and I am sure that any artist or jeweller after examining it and noting the specifica- tions, and bearing in mind the national, local, and specific events to be depicted in emblematic designs, will also say that it is an original and a beautiful design, histori- cally, archaeologically, and artistically accurate, and a credit to the designer, who is a local jeweller, and to the draughtsman, who is in the front of his profession. I give this expression of opinion upon the rejected design to show where the injustice comes in, and how the discontent and dis- satisfaction which has been created is not due to professional jealousy. The majority of the Committee decided against this one of the two designs selected from a number with- out taking the trouble to read the particulars and description of the design. The whole thing was done in such a haphazard fashion that, had it not been for one Councillor insisting on handing the design round, half of the Council would have decided against it without having seen it. It is nothing short of scandalous to invite local jewellers tospend time and money upon preparing special designs according to printed requirements submitted by the Town Clerk, and then to disregard really excellent and artistic designs in this fashion. The designs were never properly examined either by the officials or the Council. This is not business, it is muddling, and a manifest injustice has been done to the local jewellers who spent time and money in submitting designs, in good faith, and in accordance with the printed requirements of the Corporation. No wonder there is great dissatisfaction even amongst the Councillors, who did take the trouble to go into the merits of the designs. Whither is Corporation business drifting ? Is everything conducted on these lines ? What has become of the Llandaff Fields project. A month ago it was decided to write a letter of inquiry whether, if the Corporation bought the land for the purpose of an open space, they would be able to let the fringe of it for building villas upon. Has the subject been allowed to I drop out of sight and out of memory, to be decided by the lapse of time and without any further departmental trouble ? danger is that a plot of the Llandaff Fields will be let to a speculative builder, and then the open space will be gone for ever. To me the one romantic spot in the unromantic region of the Docks is the old Hamadryad Hospital Ship, I have a kindly feeling towards those old and weather- beaten timbers, moored there on the mud, where the tide reaches up just to shake hands, as it were, with an old friend. The Hamadryad is I a welcome name to thousands of sailors from every clime who have received within its walls medical aid from genial Dr. Hughes and his assistant, Mr Owen Phillips, whom I have never found in any but optimistic spirit and with a cheery out- look and a love for his work. Many a jaunt have I taken to that old hulk, and trembled as I clambered in the dark- ness of the night along that crazy landing and up that shaking, creaking ladder when the tide has been full and lashing the sides of the ship with the thud and swish that send a shiver through the landsman. The old ship stands and its patients come and go. Dr. Hughes stays on with his charge, but Mr Phillips is a younger man and desires to make headway in the world. I regret his departure, but wish him complete success in those studies which he is undertaking to qualify himself for the medical profession. In a few days the ship will miss him, and so shall I and numerous Pressmen, but most of all the patients who find their way back to the Hamadryad. I ,n..

I RESIGNATION OF A JUDGE. In consequence of the strong recommendation of his medical advisers Mr Justice Charles has placed his resignation in the hands of the Lord Chanoellor. Mr Justice Charles has served only half the period-15 years-necessary to quahfy for a pension. The name of Mr Bompas, Q.C., the leader of the Nonconformist Liberal Union- ists, is mentioned in connection with the vacancy.

Erin Go Bragh, ANDREW CAVANAGH'S PLUCK, THE TALE AS TOLD BY HIMSELF, The sub-editor was cooling off, after seeing to press the last edition of yesterday's Echo and was summarising events to the reporter on duty Heavy day-Mus well Hill murder sensational stuff. Sentences commuted on the Transvaal fellows. Had to put the Synagogue into a stick or two and Bird's chapel only a par. Good matter all round. Things get busier every day." Then the door burst open. and THE DEPUTATION ENTERED. One hatless member seemed ezsited. I want to tell yer 'botit this boy 'e saved anobber boy from drownm' rescued 'im went in after 'im and got'im out." The business having thus been introduced in due form, with full explicitnes9, the unimpas- sioned sub laconically inquired :— Who did r This one," answered the gentleman without a hat, indicating his colleague who had no shoes and the latter, removing his head-gnar when thus brought into notice, displayed a thatch of wet hair and smiled. Tell us about it," "Why, he tumbled in the Feeder, and he shouted me an' I dived after him and brought him out. Andy,' he says, 'I'll give yer every penny I got; every penny I got, Andy,' he says. An' I took off his clothes and Jnut my coat round him an' another boy put his coat round, an' we took him home. 'E was nearly drowned." Whereabouts in the Feeder f Near the Baths." You can swim, then 3" Yes." Where did you learn 3" "At the Baths. I was the only one there as could swim; an' he [pointing to the original speaker] shouted me." I was on the wall," interpolated that gentle- man, "an' I hollered, 'Andy, Andy, there's a little boy in the river,' an' Andy got over the wall an' dived after 'iro, and fetched 'im out." Your name's Andrew, then. Andrew what 3" "Andrew Cavanagb, sir, I olimbed up the wall as soon as I could, an' I dived in, an' I started fetchin' under water." Fotohing I" Yes; fetchin' round with my hands an' swimmxn' under water to find "im." Didn't they show you where to go in 1" I saw his cap an' went in there an' I caught 'im round the waist and brought 'im up." Didn't be grip you ?" No his hands dropped just dead like. 'E didn't ketch 'old o' me, an' we come up in the middle and I swum ashore with 'im. I was swimming with one hand, an' had 'im with the other. He'd bin up once, and gone down agin," said the smallest metriber of the deputation. Yus an' Andy saved him a year ago," said the boy in the background, indicating the little one. Did you see him go in this afternoon No I come with him to show him the way. Somebody said, 'You go aud tell the Ecka and he didn't know the way." WHAT Didn't know the way to the Echo office ?" Not the way upstairs, sir. He was at the bottom and didn't know the way so I come with him." Then Andrew handed in a certificate duly attested, tho which is worth reproduction. Who was the boy you saved ? Georgy Tunsich. He'" a foreigner. A lot of people said Go and tell the Eeho reporter about it,' and I come quick." He evidently had, for his dry suit included a man's singlet that dropped almost below the coat. But And re w was none the less jolly; and when,after a pass from pocket to palm, he said Thank you" and departed, he vouchsafed the intelligence- My brother John saved a child down by the West Wharf."

THE PERILS OF THE STAGE. I An Exciting Performance of Maobsth." Two unrehearsed incidents occurred at the Opera House, Chatham, last evening, during the performance of Macbeth" by Miss Sarah Thorne's company, and rather alarmed the audience. Mr Gordon Craig, son of Miss Ellen Terry, who is playing Macbeth, broke a sword 10 the duel with Macduff, and the latter was severely cut on the hand. Beyond this incident a curtain suddenly descended through the breaking of a rope, and a scene-shifter waa struck on the head and rendered insensible.

SMALLPOX IN GL0UCE8TER. The Fpidemio Abating. A Gloucester correspondent ts informed that unless there are an unusual number of oasea of smallpox reported to-day, the number for the week ending to-night will b. little, if any, over 100, showing a large drop as compared with the past few weeks. The epidemic is abating every day, and it is hoped will soon be stamped out. Lord H orach ell has written to a Cheltenham gentleman stating in reply to a question that the report of the Royal Commission is now being prepared.

All of which things Polly, of oourse, strenuously denied. However, the end of it was that John was bound over in £ 5 to keep the peace for six months.

I Football. I I LOCAL CLUB RECORDS. I I TREHERBERT. I TftEHERIERT. On Saturday last Trehi-rbert brought a most successful first season to a close, a season that undoubtedly is a record in the annals of local Rugby football, as the club, practically speakiner, onlv came into existence in July last, and with one bound it has jumped to the front and now possesses one of the best teams in the Rhondda, as a glance at the record below will show. The forwards, who were recruited mainly from junior teams in the district, have shown vastly improved form as the season progressed, John Jenkins and G. Kirkhouse being about the pick. Emlyn Lewis and David Griffiths have formed an ideal pair of club halves, their clever combination contributing largely to the success of the team. Captain T, D. Davies, who returned to the fold when the grounds were secured, heads the list of try-getters in Wales, while his sound judgment and brilliant defence has ampiy justified the favourable opinions formed of him at Morriston last season, whilst his co-centre, W. R. Jones, by his consistently good play, has been responsible for very many of the home tries. W. Jones at full-back has developed from a mere novice into a sound custodian, place-kicking being his especial forte, all the goals having been kicked by him. A strong fixture list has been arranged for next season, including home and home matches with Neath, Aberavon, Morriston, etc. 1 1 BCORE SCORE BATE. OPPONENTS. FOR. AGST. G. T. G. T.

I CARDIFF RESERVtS, I The record of the Cardiff Second string, now termed Cardiff Reserves, is particularly good for this season, although hardly up to the standard of last year, when they were only defeated twice. However, they might console themselves iu the fact that this season has betu one of the best in the history of the club for the Seconds to prove their value to the club as a team of understudies for the premier organisation, and right well did they acquit themselves. During the season the first telin have drawn W. Davies,Huzzf>y, Savage, Barry Davies, Cornish, D. iscoil, and Abbott from the Seconds, whilst occasionaly W. Jones, Francis, Wallace, Blake, and Gunn have assisted the first team with success. It may safely be said that the pro. sent Second team is composed of a much more promising lot of players than has been the case for some years. Last season the team was composed of old players, and this season a lot of younger men have taken their places, with the result recorded below. Of oeurse in the first part of the season it was not expected that with a lob of meu new to the class of footer played by I the Reserves, that anything very startling was to be done forsometGw matches,butafter Pontymoilo and Oanton had been met much improved form was evident and a very successful season was assured. In all 31 matches have been played, of I which 20 have been won. 4 lost, and 7 drawn, whilst 234 points have been scored by the team against 39. We append the record, and can congratulate the Cardiff Club on having such a lot of players who, by their doings in the past season, piomise so very well for the future of the club. A list of try-gettera may be interesting, and upon working them out our list is R;ckettfi, 11; W, Jones, 8; P. House, 4 R. Foster, 3 J. Francis, 7 Huzzuy, 3 Savage, 2 whilst Bryant, Norman Biggs, G.

I THE AUSTRALIAN CftlCKETEHS. I Praotioe at Mjlcham, Yesterday, on Mitcham Green, the ninth team of Australian cricketers commenced their period of regular practice previous to .their first match, but unfortunately they were considerably inter- fered with by a typical April day. The practice was of a slight and unimportant character. Owing to the crowd it was impossible for the batsmen to get proper sight of the ball, and also dangerous for them to attempt anything like frep hitting. It was arranged that the batsmen should each have a period of twelves minutes, and all the men at various tunes had a turn at bowling. Jones and Eady, both tall and powerful athletes, bowl fast with a hIgh delivery, though of course neither attempted his full pace, and McKibbin, of whom so much is expected, is right hand medium pace, and gets a lot of work on the ball from the off aide. There are no fewer than four left-handed batsmen in the team-Darling, Hill, Johns, and McKibbin-and curiously enough all of them bowl right hand. I A Goed Story. I The Melbourne Punch tells a good story of one of the members of the Australian team. His father, one of the richest men in his colony, and a member of the Legislative Council, was bitterly opposed to his son wasting his time in such a frivolous game, and sent him up country to manage one of his properties. The experiment was not successful, for the son returned to town, and being disowned by his father, married, and opened a cricket depot to support himself and the lady he had married. Last summer he became a great batsman, and when the father found that other legislators of his own Chamber were stopping him 1O the street to praise his son's feats in the field, his views of cricket altogether changed. Before the end of the season he was rushing off to Sydney and Melbourne to see his son p!aYI presenting him with a good big cheque for every big innings, and actually offering him suggestions and advice as to the tactics he should adopt every time the bad boy went out to bat.

GOOD NEWS FOR CAERPHILLY DISTRICT, MORE COLLIERY SINKINGS. Further Developments in Aber Vallty, The fact which has been for some time put known to a few leading men in the coal "trade-,c namely, that Messrs Insole and Co., in conjunction probably with other capitalists, contemplated, sinking for coal in the Aber Valley-was publicly stated yesterday, and we are therefore now at liberty "to announce tbat aboutwo thousand acre! of mineral property has been taken, and that sinking operations are likely to be commenced almost immediately. It is estimated that from 2*4 to three years will be occupied in sinking tht pits and fitting the requisite gear for dealing with a large output. The land is the property of Lord Windsor. This news cannot fail to have favour. able effect upon the value of Rhymney Railway stock, for although the development of the great coal area bordering the line has been regarded as a certainty of the future, the definite prospect of early opening out new mines gives actual form to the anticipation. In the Aber Valley, too. a considerable stimulus to building operations will be given, and the value of existing properties will be enhanced.

MASS MEETING OF PLYMOUTH COLLIERS. The Arbitration Question. On Wednesday night,at the Metal Slieds.Pentm bach, a mass meeting was held of the Plymouth Colliery workmen, Mr A. Robbing presiding. Reports were given by Mr John Evans, seore tary, in Welsh, and by Alderman David Morgan, agent, in English, as to what had passed in the interview with the solicitor upon the subjeot of the arbitration, and it was, resolved that the reports be received, and that work should be con- tinued, in accordance with the solicitor's advice. A vote of confidence in the workmen's representa- tives (with one exception) and their respectea agent also was agreed to unanimously.
