ATHLETIC CHATTER. Barry Seconds last Saturday atoned for their defeat by Barry Y.M.C.A., when they triumphed over Canton Baptists (Cardiff) at Barry Island by the respectable score of 57 runs to 26. 9 » The bowling of H. Owen, Barry, was irresistible, and he had a splendid average at the end of the match. He hit the wickets out of the ground on two occasions. # Bloomer Johnson was, in no small degree, responsible for Barry's success, contributing 20 runs off his own bat; being at length splendidly caught by Orr. Barry Island showed marked improvement in their form of the previous week, and last Saturday succeeded in defeating Sydenham by 12 runs. J. Martin scored 18 for the Island by free and hard hitting, and that when defeat seemed certain for the home side. Barry' first string met Newport Seconds on the ground of the Usksiders, and after a good game the home side won by two wickets and eight runs. Barry scored 78 runs, of which C. Kirby hit 39. or just half, a meritorious performance, considering the quality of bowlers they possess at Newport. oft. Barry County School boys could not have a captain of their cricket team more suitable to the post than D. H. Davies. Last Saturday he set a worthy example by compiling 60 runs (not out). Boys, follow him. Cadoxton-Barry C.C. have prepared a fine pitch at the Witch ill ground, but the out-field is not at all suitable to the summer pastime, A. Dure, who forms a part of the coloured element of Barry Villa, is a good batsman, possess- ing some nice stroke. Rev J. S. Longdon, rector of Cidoxton-Barry, is an all-round good sport, being an ardent cyclist, a splendid cricketer, with both bat and ball, and a good footballer, although the latter game he does not now follow up. sfc. What a reverse. Last Saturday Barry Y.M.C.A. Cricket Club were beaten by Barry Villa by eight wickets and 39 runs. On the previous Saturday the Y.M.C.A. defeated Barry Seconds by 35 runs. But it must be considered that the Y.M.C.A. were minus several of their players, J. Vickery, E. J. Llewellin, and L. W. Rees not turning out. The Villa have been exceedingly lucky in obtain- ing for the coming season the services of G. H. I Hughes, whose trundling on Saturday was fine. This player performed the hat trick." Ill-luck certainly fell to the lot of the Y.M.C.A., but it is hoped they will be more fortunate in future fixtures. A Barry Island Cricket Club are fortunate in their possession of a pitch which has this year been con- siderably improved and although it is by no means perfect, it will certainly bear comparison with any ground in the district. In next Saturday's match, the Barry Villa will be short of several players owing to examinations at the schools.

PUBLIC READING-ROOMS AT CADOXTON-BARRY. FORMAL OPENING OF THE NEW BUILDINGS. The formal opening of the new Public Reading- rooms, erected on a freehold site belonging to the Barry District Council at Cadoxton Common, took place on Wednesday evening, the 14th instant, the ceremony being performed by Mr D. W. Roberts, chairman of the Libraries' Committee. Competitive plans for the building were invited from architects and a design selected. The diffi- culties of the site. which slopes down rapidly from the Common-road, rendered it advisable to place the caretaker's apartments under the public rooms at the rear of the buildings, which is treated in a Tudor character. The public portion consists of a large general reading-room for newspapers, 34ft. long by 17ft. wide, lighted from three sides, and entered from a doorway in the hall directly in front of the main entrance. On either side of the hall are the magazine and ladies' reading-rooms, each 18ft. long by 14ft. wide, the ladies'-room having lavatory attached thereto. These rooms are lighted from two and through ventilation is obtained in all rooms by means of fresh air inlets in walls and extracts in ceilings through trunk shaft to ventilating turret in the roof. The rooms are heated by hot water pipes, the system being installed by Messrs W. A. Baker and Company, of Newport. The buildings were executed by Messrs Gibby and Cleak, contractors, of Barry Docks, at a contract amount of £1,025 the clerk of works being Mr Nun Robbins, of Rarry. The architects are Messrs Speir and Beavau, of Cardiff. There were present at the inaugural opening, in addition to Mr D. W. Roberts, Mr J. Lowdon, J.P. Councillors J. A. Manaton, J. Milward, W. R. Lee, W. Paterson, D. Morgan, T. Walters, and J. E. Levers, Messrs John Junes, J. O. Davies, W. Phillips, T. B. Tordoff, J. C. Pardoe, J. Roch, R. T. Evans, J. Gibby, and J. Cleak. There was also a good attendance of the general public. In performing the opening ceremony, Mr Roberts said the result of an appeal to the electorate of Barry some 12 or 13 years ago was an overwhelming majority in favour of the adop- tion of the Public Libraries' Act, which had proved such a great success in the town. Mr Roberts referred to the princely generosity of Mr Andrew Carnegie in subscribing L8,000 for the erection of a new central library, which, when completed, would enable every man, no matter how poor he might be, to see the two sides of the question by means of the literature provided thereat, and enable him to take part in the betterment of this mighty Empire. (Cheers.) These buildings at Cadoxton were situated in an ideal spot, and those who frequented them could enjoy the beautiful breezes of heaven as well as the intellec- tual pleasures available thereat. At the end of the present month, Mr Roberts remarked, they hoped to open at Barry a building .similar to this. On behalf of the Pnblic Libraries' Committee he had pleasure in declaring the building open to the public, and trusted that it would be so successful as to fully justify its erection. (Cheers.) Mr John Jones moved a vote of thanks to Mr Roberts, whom he described as an ideal chairman, and expressed pleasure at his re-election to the chair of the Libraries' 'Committee. (Cheers.) Mr Jones referred to the harmonious and good spirit in which the business of the Libraries' Committee was always conducted, which he attributed largely to the sound qualities of the chairman. He once opposed the present site, but it had been selected in a democratic way, and whatever view they might hold with regard to the site, they could not have but the best opinions of the building itself, which was a credit to the architects and builders. Their presence there that evening was evidence that the permanent reading-rooms at Cadoxton were an accomplished fact, of which they were all proud. (Cheers.) Councillor W. Paterson seconded, and reiterated the remarks of Mr Jones as to the excellent qualities possessed by Mr Roberts. He said arrangements had nearly been completed for the making of a footpath from Main-street to the building. (Cheers.) The voteoi" thanks was enthusiastically accorded, and Mr Roberts suitably acknowledged, remarking that he" did not know of an institution in the country to day which did better work than the public libraries. (Cheers.) Mr J. Lowdon only hoped the inhabitants of Cadoxton would justify the action of the Com- mittee by attending the new rooms regularly in large numbers. There were only three rules to be observed thereat, clean hands, silence, and no dogs." (Laughter and cheers). Mr J. O. Davies followed with an interesting address, and expressed an earnest hope that the new reading-rooms would prove a complete success. (Cheers). Mr D. W. Roberts then moved a vote of thanks to the contractors (Messrs Gibby and Cleak, Barry Docks) and the architects (Me.srs Spier and Beavan, Cardiff) for the excellent manner in which they had carried out the work. Councillor J. A. Manaton seconded, and bore ont the remarks of Mr Roberts thtt the work had been carried out to the entire satisfaction of the Com- mittee. Mr J. Cleak replied, and the ceremony concluded.

Ytar by year this popular event has been attended wun increasing success, and the show this year, whether regarded from the point of view of numuer or quality of the exhibits in the various classes, proved fully equal to those of previous years, thanks to the energetic efforts of a strong com- mittee, with Mr W, Thomas, The Hayes, Sully, as chairman Councillor Dr P.
