WANTON DAMAGE AT MONMOUTH. The plate glass windows of nearly all the i,tirteipal shops in Monuow-street, Monmouth, this morning were found cut with a diamond on the outside, Some of the cuts were of a serpen- tine shape,while others looked like a rude attempt at bisecting, the curves converging inwards and crossing. Among tbo windows damaged are those of Mr Gower, draper Mossrs Stead and Simp- son, bootsellers Mr Caffrey, stationer: Mr Hayes, barber Mr Furney, general dealer Mr Howse, clothier, etc. The police, are active, but reticent. No arrest has been made. The affair has caused quite a sensation in the town. Ex- perts think the glass will break on the first frost.

The Man About Town. The Battle of the Pier Head railings proceeds, I threading its way through the tortuous twistiuga of the processes of law. The struggle commenced I in the dark, afttr midnight, and so far AS THE lay mind is concerned the legal proceedings are dark, for only lawyers UNDERSTAND the meauing of the early stages of the fight in the Law Courts. That it moves is evidenced by the reports of applict- tions and decisions. The new:, which came from London yesterday, that provision had been made for the affiliation of the South Wales Miners' Association with the Federation of Great Britain, may be commended to the general reader—he who is neither miner nor coalowner-as an evidence of the irony of events in the history of the South Wales coal trade. I have been stigmatised as Socialist, nnd as something equally dreadful for tho line taken in this column during the recent czisis. The main feature of my argument was the utter folly of the course pursued by the Masters, and without venturing too far in the direction of I-told-you-so I must seize this opportunity of showing that the coalowners have brought about the very opposite effect that they desired and solely by their action of last March. It may be well to recall briefly the leading incidents at the initiation of the disa strous con- flict. It will help the reader to understand the meaning and significance of the latest move of the miners. The men had given notice to ter- minate the Sliding Scale agreement, which was to end on March 31st. This wts perfectly regular and friendly, and the proper courso I to take to secure a readjustment. There was nothing hostile in this. But the action of the I masters was hostile or indiscreet. On the first of March they gave every individual man a month's notice of discharge. More than that, as if to emphasise this indication of their determina- tion. they refused to permit the audit to be made, and it became impossible therefore to have any wage regulator after March 31st, even if a. new Sliding Scale agreement had been entered upon. The masters discharged the men and refused, illegally, to permit the audit. Theykcomuienced hostilities. The Coalowners did this with the obvious in- tention of overawing the men. It was a mistaken idea, a bad policy to pursue, for the men were not ovemwed. It was A bad time to force the fight-bad for the employers I mean—seeing that they were at the commencement of the summer, which of coarse put the men in the best position for hold- ing out. And now what do we see as a direct result of that disastrous struggle which by its long duration surprised the miners almost as much as the masters ? A close and strong trades union organisation amongst the colliers. Years of patient effort on the part of the different leaders had utterly failed to bring the miners of South Wales into close and strong combination. Their weakness in this direction laid them open to attack, an 3 the I attack delivered last March through the whole- sale discharges has achieved the end so much sought by the leaders It has brought about combination with the English miners and the Federation, a combination which, in the opinion of very many of the South Wales Coalowners, will not operate to the advantage of their trade. The step taken yesterday by the miners of South Wales, through their representatives, is the direct outcome of the bad feeling engendered during the recent stoppage. The blundering policy of attacking the men has recoiled upon its authors, for an effective step has been taken for absolu- lutely ending tha Sliding Scale when the four years of the present agreement expire. I will not point the mora]; it would not adorn the tale. All I wiah to-day is to remind readers of the fact that I pointed to the probability of this step resulting from the action of the masters. The point was emphasised in the early stages of the conflict; not that I now regret the outcome of the hostilities and the better organisation of th Miners. Quite the contrary. Everything that tends to complete Trades Union organisation tends at the same time to raise the itandord of comfort, and the refinement and improvement of tha 4 general well-being of the wage-earners, and that la a cause for rejoicing, apart from every other consideration. What I do hope therefore is that readers will bear in mind that the blow struck at the men last summer has recoiled on the heads of those who struck it, and that the events now passing almost unnoticed are introducing into the chief industry of this locality a new order of THINGS, which must materially modify the relations between capital and labour and, I trust, will also aid the industrial peace, and secure the pro- gress which always follows in its train. yr All the talk this morning is of Bills and Par ia men tary efforts for the advancement of Scatli Wales. The mild cxcitement of the problem will there be a Windsor Dock Bill in the coming Ses- sion has been set at rest by the issue of the Par- liamentary Notices, and the absence from the list of this Bill,over which so much fight has been shown. There is to be no Fasboda-Windsor Bill question the next Session. Well, the facts and the figures and the lighting spirit will keep, and there will be time to look rouad. If the great questions which palpitate at the Docks do not change materially, and the game of commercial chees remains pretty much what it is to-day between the same playera, Bute, Rhymney, Taff, Barry. then, the fighters, having run away, will live to fight another day." For the nonce, Bills and Parliamentary Notices have taken the place of chatter on Fashoda and Russia in the .Far East. Our local questions are of great importance, and there never was a piace of so many Bills and Commercial Duels and well arrayed Battles as in the town by the Taff. Cardiff and Barry—the Port of Cardiff-with their Parlia- mentary Bills, almost require the whole attention of a special Standing Parliamentary Committee. 0, the Jubilee I Jubilee medals and com- memoration mags have found swift destruction ere this, and if so sad a, fate has not overtaken them many more have fallen into forgotten corners, and the teas and the fireworks and the processions are fast fading memories. The Jubilee Memorials will be with us till thr r.e:r.t Jubilee, which worked out 011 chances MAY happen in the year A.D. 3009, But Cardiff s Jubilee Memorial will not have been created before that time unless some greater effort is made to bring it into existence. If we hurry up with it we slimil be in time to celebrate the fifty years reiRIl of the young Prince Edward of the fourth generation. :j" Loyalty writes :—" It would be most in- teresting to tb" loyal portion of the town to know what has become of Cardiff's scheme for memo- rialising the Jubilee. Surelv Cardiff's Mayor for the present year will have time enough (although so late in the day) to pr'8;j forward Cardiff's ex- pression of loyalty. Many mere villages in the Principality put ns entirely to 3HAM.NN this important matter, and Cardiff,as the aspirant to the position of the prinoipal town in Wales,should better justify her aspirations than she has done. How many representative citizens are there who do not owe, in one way or another, their position to the shipping INDUSTRY ? and I do not doubt for moment if oar Mayor (who, by the way, is largely iriteresied) would bring it forward ener- getically that the project for a permanent Set- men's Hospital would be supported on all sides by the loyal citizens of Cardiff." Thersby hangs a storv. Somebody blundered sadly over Cardiff's Jubilee, Riin its fate wes settled from the first. The loyal citizens were not taken into confidence, and they did cot de- cide for themselves how the Jubilee ubouhl be celebrated in permanent fashion. But one hopes that bygones will become bygones, and that those who were so annious to secure theSeamen'sHospi- tal will show their loyalty audj justify their eagerness by doing the practical thing and patting their money oil the proposed Hospital. We heard an echo of the Jubilee Memorial at the Mayor's banquet, but it was only an interjection from one of the guests who cried Seamen's Hospital when the story of progress and loyalty was being recounted to the glory of Cardiff. » In religious disputes I take no part, but this Slattery business is not one of ilrillo or Reason, or a battle between Protestantism and Romanism, but one directly calcnlated to lead to public disorder. If 11, man "trails his coat," whether by language or act, he must not be sur- prised to find someone eager to upon it. The meetings which have been held during the past few llays are a disgrace to any British com- munity, and the threats and challenges used were more suitable to a backwoods settlement gather- ing than one called presumably to discuss reli- gious methods and institutions. The disgrace of the PROCEEDINGS must be shared equally bv THS disputants, and one regrets that the freedom of speech and the right of public meeting should have been so shamefully abused by the nci,y part of the audience, and that the langnsgc and attitude of ihe speaker should be little better. Flourishing a blackthorn stick on a platform is bad "iugumeut," and a direct incentive to A breach of the peace. ■ The intervention oi IBA Head :c LPSI, night constituted a piece of extra police dulv. He was playing the part of the candid friend," and giving good advice to the citizens of the town to stop these disgraceful proceedings wnich have been carried on in the name of religion. He may be blamed by many for not giving more support to the lecturer and clearing out the rowdy ele- ment; but Mr Slattery does not conduct his meet- ings or use language in a manner calculated to preserve the peace. Mr M^Kenzie took the only course possible last night to prevent the spilling of blood." If Mr Slattery persists in conducting his meetings in his own way and in using language such as he has used in Cardiff— under whatever provocation he will never secure a peaceable and orderly meeting and it is no part of the duty of the police to maintain the orderliness of a meeting wherein the speaker, by the violence of his language, provokes a see. tion of the audience to resontment. The pity is that this rowdyism will be connected with the I reasonable discussion which is proceeding on Ritualism in the Church. 3fc Arising out of this is the question of the Right of Public Meeting and the sacredness of the right of free speech. Let not the rowdy element aud the blackguardism which has been enjoying itself during the Slattery meetings mistake its calling and carry itamethod* to other meetings of a religious and controversial character, or they will findtlia. the Chief of the Police will not make platform but maintain order and pre- serve the nc;'„co of the meetings by usual police me', hod.-i. -=-

THE SIRDAR'S VISIT. I How He Will Travel. I The Great Western Railway Company's arrangements in connection with the visit of Lord Kitchcner to Cardiff on December 2nd are now complete. His Lordship will leave London by the 10.45 a.m. South Wales express, and at Stapleton-road the carriage in which he will travel will be immediately detached from the train and run on by special to Cardiff without stopping. The special train will be brought up alongside No. 1 platform at Cardiff, whore the Sirdar will alight and leave the station. On the return journey a special will leave Cardiff at 5.50 p.m. for Bristol to cateli the up Plymouth express, due in London at 10 p.m. The 5.45 p.m. ordinary train to Marshfield and Newport will .lot run on this date, it being found necessary to stop it.

DENOUNCED BY HIS OWN WIFE. I The latest exaniple of lese majeste in Germany is apparently more diverting than serious. The offender is a stonemason with a numerous family. He was simply having dinner in the bosom of his family, when in the midst of the talk that was going on he let fall some observations wh.ch were not exactly complimentary to the Kaiser. To his great surprise his wife did more than dissent from his views. She went to the nearest police station and denounced hsr husband, who was immediately arrested.

r 11 REPOSEFUL HOLLOWAY." Absconding Debtor's Affairs. An amusing one was heard yesterday at the Greenwich County Court by his Honour Judge Addisua. It was an application made on behalf of Thoma.s Henry Walker, who wished to be purged of the contempt for which he is im- piisoned in Holloway Gaol. Walker is a bank- rupt, a.nd some weeks ago, instead of appearing at the court to file a cash account, sent telegrams, signed" Walker, London," asking that the matter rnigbt be adjourned, a.s cheque for 4-1,000 was being forwarded. It was found that he was trying to leavo the country, and as a result he was cauglit at Plymouth, en route for the Levant, brought back, and imprisoned for contempt. Mr Pook, who supported the apnlication, said he was afraid his client's name was pre udical to his interests. (Laughter.) Members of his family had approa-clied the Official Receiver in a way that would prove beneficial to the creditors. He had been sent to gaol for a month. His Honour AND that is giving him time to reflect. (Laughter.) I see he writes, As to my endeavour to leave the country, I did so on the impulse of the moment." His impulse lasted him a long time, and carried him a long way. (Laugh. tor.) The Official Receiver: And with very, very heavy I iigFage-Iaugliter) --and ravelling first- elMs. (More laughter.) His Honour: These debtors always travel first-class. (Laughter.) The Official Receiver 1 suppose he had an impulse to buy a first-class ticket. (Laughter.) Mr Pook Well, you sec the difference between first and second is so small His Honour It is not worth considering with a man who sends TELEGRAMS about £ 1,000. (Laughter.) The Official Receiver saicl he had not yet received tho cash account, Mr Pook Well, he cannot make out a cash account in Hollowav Gaol. His Honour I should think that there coulcl ba no better place than reposeful Hollo way for the job. (Laughter.) It is far better than the hurry and excitement of going to the Levant first-class and sending numerous telegrams. (Laughter.) Ultimately, after hi,; Honour had adjourned the matter for a week, a conditional arrangement was arrived :>.t between Mr Pook and the Official Receiver.

CHEAP ''EXERCISE. Ten Shillings for Two Assaults I Voluntary assistants of the police are rare indi- viduals. When they do appear on the scene they invariably prove oxceeditiely plucky fellows. David Evans, a Cardiff postman, if thing under the average height, is one of these plucky individuals. On Friday evening, going through Caroline-street, Cardiff, he saw P.O. Gale arresting an Icelander named John Tampal. The man was going for the constable, so Evans went to the latter's assistance. Tampel turned his attention to the postman, and knocked him away. Evans would not be repulsed, and was knocked down. He made still another essay, and eventually enabled the constable to take the man to the police station. This morning the prisoner appeared before Mr F. C. Jot-ham a.nd Mr L. Samuel in the Police Court to answer three charge-:—disorderly conduct, assaulting the con- stable, and assaulting Evans. For all "these he I had to pay 10s and costs, or g J to prison for 14 days.

BULLY SUPPRESSION LAW. CASE AT CARDIFF. I Another CASE under the new provisions of the Vagraucy Act was dealt with by Messrs F. C. Jotham and L. Samuel at the Cardiff Police Court to-day. Henry Radford (20) was charged with living on the earnings of prostitution. Con- stables Young and Welsher tendered evidence to the effect that prisoner resided at 48, Stoughton. street with a prostitute. He had not done any work for 18 months, and lived entirely on the pro- ceeles of piostitution. Recently the mother of the girl went to the house tnd rvlieve(I her feel- ings by smashing the windows. Inspector Dur- ston stated that the prisoner ha.d on five occa- i;ioii-, BEAN convicted of disorderly conduct. Radford made an nppealto the Bench, and asked for a chance to obtain work. Mr Samuel said the Bench wore anxious to give him a chance of working, and sent him to prison for six weeks. "8'ØWI..8Ir-a.au

I A Wire That Failed. I ACKOBAT'S FALL OF 25 FEET. JLne audience present in the Coliseum Leeds, ast night at the entertainment provided by Hamilton s Excursions were very much alarmed by an accident which happened to Menotti, the wire walker. Menotti had gone through the greater part of his programme, and then came one of his most daring feats-thr.t of carrying a man on his back along the wire from end to end of the hall. Menotti is a magnificent specimen of a man, weighing 13st. 21b. when in costume,and he had as "passenger a. gentleman weighing over 10st., so that the pair combined would weigh nearly 24st. As the breakin strain of the wire in use, however, was estimated at two tons, no danger was apparent so far as weight. wan concerned. Menotti had covered a littleovermore than half the distance when without the slighest warning, the wire broke and the two men fell into the net beneath, a distance of about 25 feet. For a moment the Spectators Were Horror-Stricken, but when it was seen that neither man was hurt the audience testified their joy by loud and pro- longed applause. Menotti feU ctraig-ht on his feet, and in falling, with that presence of mind which never deserts him, he moved his head aside so that the passenger would not catch his chin on the performer's head. As was naturally to be expected, the shock to Menotti was very great, but te-day he is none the wcrse beyond a slight sprain in the back, and one of our reporters who interviewed him this afternoon left him prepar- ing A new wire for this evening's performance. The passeDger was not injured in the slight- est degree. Menotti, although comparatively A young man, has been 27 years before the pub- lic, having made his FIRST appearance as a per- former when quite a child. During the whole of his career he has only had two wires broken, the last breakage occurring 19 years ago. The safety of both men is to be attributed to the excellence of the not into which they fell. This WAS manu- factured by Menotti himself, who made everv knot and splice in it; and the character of the work is proved by the fact that not A mesh, knot, hook, or stay gave way. The wire broke in a most unaccountable place, viz.. at the inner end of the lashing, just where there is least strain, and where the wire ought to have been strongest.

LUCCHENrS AWFUL FATE. I I A correspondent writes:—There can be no greater wretch on earth, or more deserving of punishment, than the assassin Luccheni, but surely no human being, however vile, ought to be exposed to the torture 01 a solitary imprisonment, such as is described by a correspondent of the Neue Wiener Tagebloit, who obtained a sight of the cell iu which Luccheni is to be tilint up for life. That correspondent describes the cell in the prison at Geneva as being subterranean, rc-aci-icd by a staircase of twenty step-, and a corridor so dark that the gaoler who led him had to carry a lantern. At the end of the corridor is a strong door signed with the letter C, with hole for air and light (!) at the bottom. Then another .Yar(I of corridor and a seconi door, strong like the first, with hole3 at tho top for light, which leRCts directly into the cell. This cell is without window and qnite dark, On TH* ground a sack filled with straw, to serve for a seat by day and a bed by night. No other thing in the cell. Her, Lnceheni is to pass the first six months of his imprisonment, only being taken oit for a breath of fresh air once in every fortnight. This punish- ment seems to excel in horror all the descriptions giveii by Charles Heade in his Never Too Litte to Mend," of the terrors of solitary confinement, and the Ntne IViener Taj'eblatt correspondent justly says that if Luccheni's life and reason survive the hard trial he must be very STRONG. Compared to this capital punishment would be a boon;, and rid the earth of a. rascal whom to keep alive in torture seems a blot on humanity. 1¥'18

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE. I A Sonthend young woman, Agnes Blakey, aged 23. committed suicide under strange circum- stances, which were narrated n.t the inquest yes- terday. She had been for five years as cashier in the service of an ironmonger at Southend, who described her as a blight, good-looking girl, always correct in her accounts. A week before her death she became engaged to a farmer at EVORTONJ Bedfordshire, but was apparently much attached to her mother, with whom she lived. She said to her intended husband that the only thing which troubled her was parting from her mother. woal It would spoil my life," she said to him, 11 to give you up, and I should be miserable if I left mother." In the depression of spirits which en- sued, the young woman went and resolved her ciouLls by the terrible expedient of suicide. She PLACED herself on the railway line near Plum- stead, AND was crushed by a South-Eastern train, her mutilated body being found last Tuesday morning. Verdict, Suicide while temporarily insane."

VICTIM OF RED TAPE. I A Comedy of Errors. I PARIS, Friday.—An amusing story comes from Le Mans, illustrating the proverbial red tape of French railway administration. A labourer had saved up enough money to take a return ticket to St. Malo, whither he went on a pleasure trip. He remained acoupleofdays,but on returning his ticket was declared to have expired, and in spite of his protests that an error had been made he was sent back to St. Malo at his own expanse. Here it was found that an error respecting the date of the ticket had been ma.de, and he was transported to Le Mans without a ticket. But Le Mans had not been notified, and he was sent back to St. Ma.lo for travelling without a, ticket and lodged in gaol. There the error was dis- covered, and he was again taken back to Lo Mans, but in the meantime he bad lost his em- ployment for outstaying his leave. He brought an action against the company for jE20 damn,ges, but the case was settled on payment of £ 5.—Daily Mail.

I Glamorgan Assizes. I TRIALS OF PRISONERS. The Autumn Assizes for the connty of GLA- morgan were resumed to-day at Swansea (before Justice Day). DONE WiTH AN UPPER CUT. I James Toomy (28), coaltrimmer, was charged with wounding Robert Myers, at Cardiff, on Sep- tember 20th, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr Hugh Jones prosecuted, and Mr Parsons defended. Prosecutor alleged that prisoner stopped the way on the footpath IN Bridge-street, and refused to let him pass. He pushed prisoner, who followed bim, and chased him into a, shop, where the prisoner stabbed him in the left cheek. The shop boy said the pri- soner merely struck Myers with his fist, but Dr. Skyrme did not think the knuckle would cause the wound, for it was incised and punctured. Prisoner, sworn, said Myers started first, and that be cut Myer's choek with an upper cut, which also split his knuckle. Prisoner was found guilty of unlawful wounding. His Lordship said it was evident the prisoner pursued Myers, and J ha would have to serve two months' hard labour. I I EXTRA ORDINARY ROBiSERY AT BARRY. Thomas Hackett (20), fireman, and Alice Webb (19), no occupation, were charged with stealing a silver watch and chain, 2. purse, and 31s 1 D in money from the person of Adolph Chapalmin,witli violence, at Barry, on September 21st. Mr Douglas Lewis prosecuted, and Mr S. T. Evans, M.P., defended. The evidence for the prosecu- tion was that the prisoners, prosecutor, and others were iu the Victoria Hotel, Barry Dock. Chapalain paid for drinks, and afterwards went off with the female prisontr. They sat down on the roadside, and a man climbed the gas lamps and turned thetn oat. Then Hackett came up, and after si iiif- that Webb was his wife, told Chapalain he would have to pity some money. lIe paid Is 2d, but Ha.ckett said that was not enough and took his purse and contents, while Wehb took his watch and chain. He was also assaulted. It was slated that while in the Victoria Hotel Hackett sGoid he would lift all Chapalain's money. Chapalain was a fireman of French nationality. Hackett gave the watch to a. man to post to MI address at Cardiff. Whon arrested Webb said she knew nothing about the affair, for she went to Cardiff by the 10 o'clock train. Haekott was arrested at Cardiff, and all he said w,s that he had been drinking nd that he was in a bad fix. The jury found both prisoners guilty. Decectivc-Inspector Scott said Hackett had broken from parental control, and had been convicted before for assaults. Webb had led a loose life for a time and then gone home, but Hackett led her astray again. Hackett led her astray again. His Lordship said he should inquire further before sentencing the woman, for he hardly knew what to do with her. But ho should sentence the man without hesitation. However, he would put them both back for the present. A FORGED ADVANCE NOTE. William Clarke (22), carpenter, who had pleaded guilty to obtaining 27s from Solomon Albert Hart byjmeans of a forged seaman's advance note at Cardiff on July 14th, and to converting to his own use a bicycle belonging to Richard Todd Hancock on August 30th, was brought up and sentenced to nine months' hard labour. The Court adjourned till 11 a.m. on Monday. 'r'

POLICEMEN AS FOOTBALLERS. AGITATION IN YORKSHIRE. I The question as to whether policemen shall play football when off duty is agitating the minds of footballers and others in Yorkshire. The Watch Committee of the Halifax Town Council recently issued a, restriction which prevonts any member of the force taking part in football matches when not on duty. A deputation from the Halifax Football Club re- cently waited on the Watch Committee and urged the members to remove the restriction which prevents Police-constablu Moxon from playing with the Halifax fifteen." The matter is still under consideration. The Halifax police force at present includes men of football repute, who have at various times played with Halifax, Hudderssfield, Heckmondwiko, Elland, and other clubs. The public are asking if it is fair that these men should be debarred from playing foot- ball when off duty, seeing that no obstacle is placed in their way when they play at cricket in their leisure hours with the Halifax Police Cricket Club during the summer months. Certain members of the Watch t' o.imittee, while admitt- ing that there may be greater risk and more exertion required in the winter game, contend that the principle applies equally to both cricket. and football. In connection with this matter it may be pointed out that Walsh and Leach, two of the best forwards in the Hunslet team, are members of the Leads City Police Force, and that other policemen in the same city have made their mark in the football field.

SOMETHING LIKE A CRADLE. Mr Thomas A. Edison, the great inventor, has the most curious cradle in the world. When his second daughter was born the assistants in Mr Edison's laboratory at Orange presented The Wizard with a cradle intended to save Mrs Edison much trouble and worry. It was called the automatic electric baby tender." It was an ordinary cradle with ingenious devices for the child's comfort attached. Immediately above the spot where the baby's head would lie was a diaphragm, something like a telephone receiver. If the infant should start crying, at the very first wail communication was established between the diaphragm and an electric clock. At the same time the cradle was set rocking. If the remonstrance continued beyond a certain time the clock released a lever, and an arm attached to the side of the cradle—operated by what is called a bell-crank lever-caxrying a nursing bottle, was swung over the baby s mouth. If hunger was not the trouble, and the wails continued, another arm on the opposite side swung over the child's mouth with paregoric. However, Mr Edison persists in regarding the automatic electric baby-tender as a joke.— London Mail.

A GIRL'S DESPERATE LEAP. At Blackburn yesterday Tames Braithwaita, draper, was summoned for assaulting Ann Mitchell, a single woman, of Accrington.and also with interfering with ths comfort of a railway passenger. Complainant stated that while she was ira. veiling from Blackpool to Accrington defen dant got into her compartment at Blackburn Station. As soon as the train started he took hold of her, said she was a nice girl, and made certain overtures. She became so alarmed that just before the train got to Daisyfield Tunnel, and when it was running at 12 miles an hour, she jumped out, sustaining injuries to the head and arm. Defendant was stopped when the train got to Rishton. and when charged he said he had be It drinking and didn't remember anything. Do- fendant was sent to gaol for two months. "fA

r Footballers' Gallery. MEN IN THE PUBLIC EYE. Treherbert's Best Forward. There is no denying the fact that football in the Treherbert district is very much under a oloud at present, although everything looked 10 bright at the commencement of the season. Leicester were run to the narrow margin of a try win at Leicester and the redoubtable Llwynypia team beaten at Treh-arbert but since then things have all seemed to go utterly wrong, and with un- accountable loss of form by some of the home backs, and a few others on the injured list, things have been at sixes and sevens. At last, however, the supporters of the team seem confi- dent that the crisis has passed and that a differ- ent tale will soon have to be told about the Trchcrbert team's doing*. Through it all, however, the front rank has continually shown a bold front, and it is not saying too much when we state that if it were not for the splendid and consistent form displayed by the Treherbert eight things would be ever so much more sorions than they are at present. Appended are particulars ol two of the club's best forwards I KIKKIIOUSE. PRICE. George Kirkhouse, the popular captain of Tre- herbert, is 24 years of age, 5 feet 9 inches in height, and scales 12 stone. He commenced play- ing with?, local junior team about 10 years ago, and has played regularly ever since. A splendid scrummuger, but lacking the speed to put him into first-class football, he is universally as. teemed and admired by all in the district. Jim Price, the subject of our other sketch, is un- doubtedly one of the finest forwards in the League, and great indignation is felt in the dis- trict that a, place has not been found for him in the lint for the forthcoming International Trial Match. Standing 6ft. lin. in his socks, he towers above most of the rest of the home forwards, and he uses his height to the best advantage on the line-out, where he has been continually seen to great advantage. Price is a hard scrummager and a deadly tackier, and is constantly to be seen in the front of the rushes. He is only 23 years old and turns the scale at 13 stone, has been selected for county honours more than once, and sooner or later, with a little luck, he is bound to get even higher honours still. I Cardiff's Hope. Ivor Price Jones was born at Cardiff on October 9th, 1877, so that he has just celebrated his majority. He is the eldest son of the late I I J.P. Jones, whose name will always be respected by everyone, and whose memory as a true sports- man can never fade in Cardiff district." Like father like son," Ivor commenced his football career as soon as he was able to kick a ball, and his subse- qnent doings have since been sufficiently good to make him very popular wherever ,he goes. He was educated at the same school—Mill Hill-a.s T. W. Pearson, and returned to Cardiff some two years ago, when he played successively for Llan- daff 2nd, Canton, Romilly, and Old Monktonians (two seasons). Repeated performances in the Cardiff Club's trial matches brought him under the notica of the Cardiff F.C. Committee, and the only point against Lim when he commenced his career here was his lack of weight. He has, how. ever, developed into a lOst. 71b. three-quarter is very fast for a centre three-quarter and gets under weigh very quickly. His dashes through his opponents are one of the chief characteristics of his play, and he is very dangerous when near the line. His defence also is good—particularly rvoR JONES. SPACEMAN. 80 for a man of his weight. Jones may safely be said to be one of the Cardiff Club's most promit- ing recruits Everything is in his favour-youtk4 size, and speed, and general surprise will be felt if he does not develop into a player of the very first rank. He first played for Cardiff versus Penygraig, and his debut will never be forgotten by the spectators, and will be very hard to erase from the memories of the members of the Peny- graig team. Surely a more promising debut was never made, and his subsequent trials have more than justified his selection on those occa- sions when the First XV. committee have asked him to play. He came into the team versus Penarth on Saturday last, and resumed his place this afternoon in the absence of his captain. Another James for Swansea. The Swansea devotees of Rugby are somewhat surprised at the selection of Sam James, brother of the redoubtable E. and D. James, to fill the place of Reynolds, who was injured in the recent match at Newport. The surprise in accentuated by the fact that Sam James has not been in- cluded as a regular player in the ranks of the Swansea. Seconds; indeed, he has not taken part in any match of much importance nor has he played against any teams of particular merit. Sam james is 18 years of age, is 5it. 7m. in height, and weighs 9st. X241 b. He commenced his football career with the Danygraig Club (for whom he played wing three quarter), which has been a valuable recruiting ground for the premier organisation, Jackson and Messer being once members. Sam James is almost a counterpart in appearance of his brother Evan, and in a measure resembles his style of play, being fast and tricky. His de. fensive and offensive tactics are alike good for one so inexperienced, but how he will shape with SAM JAMAS 5. the Swansea 1st XV. against powerful clubs it a matter for conjecture, as his past reputation, which has been deemed sufficiently good by the Swansea Committee to allow him to partner his brother David, has only been gained by his form against mediocre teams. However, Sam .Ja,mes's pla.y is sure to attract much notice, and he will be the recipient of much sympathy in eonsequencit of being related to the famous pair, who have rendered such signal service to Swansea for so many years. He will probably in the future join the ranks of the Swansea 2nd XV., as at present he is a prominent member of the Da.ny- graig F.C., although he has this season played half-back in two matches for the Castle F.C, in connection with the Swansea Junior Footbali League. Muscular Christianity. The Rev. E. T. Davies, who gets his first triaJ in the International test matches, is at present a member of the Mountain Ash football team. This is his first year in any tea.m connected with the Welsh Rngby Union. He is sturdily built, weighing 13 stone. He was born at Carmarthen in 1874, and commenced playing for the Gram mar School of that town. He left Carmarthen for Oswestry, and there played at centre three- qaarter, and wai elected captain of Oswestry, Leaving Wales for Oxford, he at once got into the Jesus College team as a forward, and on several occasions p'U-yed in the senior matches. During the season 1896 and 1897 he captained the Je -ins College team, and led them to frequent During the season 1896 and 1897 he captained the Je -ins College team, and led them to frequent victory. While at. Oxford he otherwise dis- tinguished himself, being the I'owis exhibitioner and classical Fclioler. In 1897 he was ordained and appointed to a cura.cy a Aberdare. lie then for the time being dropped football, but at the commencement of this SEASON was prevailed upon by several of his colleagues to join the Mountain Ash Club, where his knowledge of the game and experience as a player soon made itself felt, proving in the first match that he was an acqui- sition, and is now acknowledged as the beat for- ward on the side. As A player he is a dangerous man, playing the English 'Varsity game, being continually on the ball. Yet he is a thoroughly good scrummager, and no matter how hot the pace a stayer to the end. A Promising Full-back. Peter Loclo!1!u,. who this year does duty at full-back for Aberayou. is perhaps the beat man the Avon team has unearttlod this OEVSON. and his rise to football fame lias been rapid. Lock- man is not an Aberavon boy, but belongs to Swanaca, where h, started his football career by joining a junior team. He ultimately went up a step higher, and in tura with Austin did duty on several occasions as full-back for the All Whites secoud string. He ha.s played in the centre, and was no mean novice in that position, but an- doubtedly he was seen to better advantage behind the quartette. At the close of last season over- tures were made to him by the Aberavon Commit- tee (who were at that time badly in want of A full-back) to throw in his lot with their team, and he readily consented. The feature of his play is his safe fielding of the BALL under difficulties, and hia excellent judgment in finding touch. Of coursa he is not such a, fi:IE KICK AS Bancroft, but ho is fast and can use either foot. Unfortunately he suffers from A weak ankie, the resuit of an acci- dent on the field, which causes him anxiety when sharp tackling has to be done, He is 21 years of age, 9st. 81b. in weight, and touches the beam 5ft. 6in., and follows the occupation of a carpenter nd joiner.
