POWDERANDSHOT.
POWDERANDSHOT. Dean Swift, of Barnard College, says that girls are growing taller with startling ra^dity. Brynmawr has kept statistics for twenty years, and the figures indicate an increase of two or three inches in the height of students. The average height of the girl of 1885 was 5n. 3 ill,. and of 1888 5ft. 4in. It is now 5ft. 6in. a The Cardiff prophet in a plight Looked forth upon the sky last night, And doggedly he said: 'Twill rain, or blow, or snow, I fear; Or else 'twin be quite warm and clear, We may expect more weather here." And then he went to bed. Anti-fanatics outside Cardiff do not always trouble themselves to give the hired theologians of the various faddist leagues the reception they get in Cardiff. They are pleased with the adver- tisement they get in Wales, but here comes an anecdote of one of the clan from an English town. Being unable to fulfil an engagement there, the faddist lecturer wired: "Impossible to come to-night; give the audience back the'r money." He received the following reply: We have given the audience back his money, and he has gone home more than pleased." 80 In spite of the good "Welsh National Protec- tant League" friends he found in Cardiff, Mr. Slattery's path is not continually buttered. Speaking of Slattery and the Exeter-hall, London, Mr. Henry Labouchere says:- Although the hall was taken and the adver- tisements issued, Slattery at the last moment asked permission to cancel the engagement, and I am told that, even had he not done so, the authorities were reconsidering the desirability of letting the hall to him. As it was suggested in Truth' that Exeter-hall ought not to be let for the purpose of such a disreputable perfor- mance as Slattery's evidently was, it is only fair to the management that these facts should be made known." After celebrating the Baroness Patti Ceder- strom's wedding two Brecon public men were nearing home, and the necessity of bucking- up to keep the pathway straight, if narrow, dawned upon them. Ah! There's been a deal of good Scotch flowin' between Patti and Burns!" remarked the first belated one. Yes, but I've got to walk in straight, me boy. ajid I have got to practise it before I reach me doorstep," wailed the other. Well (hic\ jest walk in front o' me a bit an' III see if you're going steady." After a few attempts the homeward-bounder managed to sheer off. and a few yards ahead called back, How am I going now?" Very well 'hie!—very well indeedsh!" responded his trainer, steadying himself against a. post. You're walkin' fairly steady, but who're got alongside wi' you? Blesh me! You've got six to help ye I" Then the last attempt to train along the chalk-line was given up. In the American Mail this week comes back to us a. letter sent by Dean Howell, the dean of the cathedral of 8t. David's, which the Ameri- cans, in their enthusiasm over the dean's senti- ments. describe as one of the most beautiful r as well as one of the oldest of the English cathedrals. He wanted to convey a New Year's measafee that was in his heart to America, and he did it through his long-time friend, General Thomas L. James. He sayj: — •' I am sure this will be a year of peace and great prosperity in your country. You have very perplexing problems to solve, but faith in God and in your destiny will carry vou through them. Honour God and He will honour you. During what is now becoming a long life I can remember only one occasion when there was the same unanimity and sentiment that there was in Great Britain during your recent war with Spain. That sentiment was as spon- taneous as it was universal. Long may the feeling prevail. The future of the world under God rests with the Anglo-Saxon race, and your children and mine will see great things done by that race for human progress the world over." We are g!ad to hear that steps are being taken to secure a searching investigation into the conditions which contributed to the defeat of the Unionist candidate in the Roath Ward, Cardiff, on Tuesday. The investigation, if undertaken, should be and will be of an ex- haustive character, and must include an over- hauling of the officials of the Central Associa- tion. as well as of those of the Roath-Ward Association and Club. In some quarters an uglier term than "dry rot" or "laziness" is applied to the great surrender in Roath. If p this investigation is honestly carried out the results to the Conservative party in Cardiff must be good, and thus Tuesday's disaster will mark the begiuniug of better things, and Mr. W. Thomas will prove instrumental. even in his defeat, of immense advantage to his party. 8 8 When Mr. Arthur Ronabey (who comes next week to the Cardiff Royal) played "Tann I hauser" in Cheltenham a. few days ago, he received the following letter from Mr. Ludwij Stern, a. well-known German critic: -"How very delighted I was to listen to that perfor- mance which, in my humble opinion, was second to none I have ever heard on an Eng- lish or American stage. Being a worshipper of Wagner, and well acquainted with all the great temples of music, both in the old and the new world, I may be justified in giving expression to my opinion. Even in Germany (the cradle of music and the birthplace of Richard Wagner) opinion is divided as to the supremacy of the alleged music of the future, but all are united i ntheir admiration (from an artistic point of view rather than a. eentinaentaR of the great poet composer. I consider our local stage to be honoured by the visit of such a company as your<, and that you are deserving weli of your countrymen." The blood of Swansea ought to be getting purer.There is plenty of brimstone and treacle about just now. The "Cambria Daily Leader's'' dates re Baron Cederstrom'a family are a bit mixed. After mentioning the progenitors of the family in 1860 and 1862 they proceed to mention what the-e particular gentlemen's sons were up to in 1713. They may be, at least, called pre- cocious! Has the mantle fallen on the present baron ? The Newport station master I.\fl'. Arthur Evan^> writes to tell us that cycling hath its pleasures even in the heart of the African continent, as witness the following extract from a letter he has just received from his son. "We were half a dozen fellows, myself taking the lead, travelling through a very pretty val- ley, grass each side the road about five feet high. We were descending a hill at full speed when I observed about three yards ahead a fine green wamba snake crossing the track, and in turning short to avoid running over too near his head my crank somehow caught the chain. Of course, the back wheel wouldn't revolve. I held on for about fifteen yards, then came off gently, sat down and smiled; so did the other fellows. Result-that machine is on the market. The snake a beauty about eight feet long, escaped. The German papers have been notic'ng a change in the tone of American newspapers regarding their country. They attribute this altered and more friendly tone to the influence of the English press. "The theory is that the American papers look upon the world in general through spectacles provided for them in Fleet-street." It was said not long ago of the Canadian press, that "they regarded half Canada and the Suites through a telescope manufactured principally in Cardiff." That's a tribute to the Welsh-Canadian influence which swears by the South Wales newspaper mails. A correspondent sends us two stories about mayors. In the first a mayor was singing the praise of a new organ, and concluded by say- ing: "Yes, the organ's a beauty, and the uux vomica stop is a real treat!" The other story refers to an ex-mayoress who told a friend that her husband's health had never been the same since he gave up his "morality." Perhaps we had better explain that she meant "mayoralty." Tiiat reminds us of a pathetio mispronunciation by a Welsh mayor, who, at the time of Dean Vaughan's death, delivered a touching panegyric, and in his peroration alluded to "the great men of the century who had cast eff the shackles of morality." The "Danuie Dinmont" coach left Cardiff yesterday to explore the skating prospects on the road to Newport. • ♦ • We congratulate Mr. W. H. Evans, of Radyr Court, upon his accident a day or so ago. That's not exactly what we mean—but it comes near enough this frosty weather. Whilst driving into town his horse slipped very sud- denly in Cowbridge-road opposite the Sophia Gardens, and the driver was pitched from his seat over the horse's back. Both horse and driver picked themselves up, and went gaily on as though nothing had occurred. That is the kind of catastrophe we like to see. A fearsome man writes in to say that we had better caution householders against frozen pipes. He does not say whether ho means organ pipes, tobacco pipes, or that most useful pipe known as the human gullet. So we have settled the matter impartially by sending to the Gordon Highlanders to warn them against frozen bagpipes. Mr. D. Llewellyn, the Llwynypia secretary, is busily arranging with Gloucester to fix another date for the Thursday match which the Weather Clerk froze off. So uiere may not be disappointment in the R.Lond,ii, alter all. "Three white frosts—and a thaw" is the weather maxim which comes generally true. We have had five white frosts on this occ;iiicn, and no thaw, so skating weather 'nay be con- sidered fairly settled. •*»**♦ The frost has taken the ironmongers so thoroughly by surprise that there's not the least preparation yet in Cardiff for the nys- terical rush on skates that may be expected before Sunday. • ♦«••• Reports from country districts bring excellent hope of Sabbath skating. Forward Movement missionaries will do well to take early to the ice. A eld of useful labour may be looked for. • ••••• A society writer, talking of complexions in connection with the Baroness Patti-Cederstrom, gives the secret by which the late Empress of Austria- retained her brilliant complexion and superb constitution. It appears she rose at five o'clock in the morning, went to bed early. walked when she was unable to ride, bathed in distilled water, had a cup of tea on rising, the lightest of breakfasts and luncheors. no dinner, and a supper of milk. If that is not exactly the secret of Madame Patti's perpetual youth, it's not the fault of the Empress. There may be something in madame's pretty little matri- monial hobby.

Cardiff Railings Dispute.
Cardiff Railings Dispute. 0 TERMS OF SETTLEMENT. RIGHTS OF THE PUBLIC SAFEGUARDED. ACCESS TO THE SEA PRESERVED IN PERPETUITY. COMPROMISE SATISFACTORY FAC SIMILE OF PLAN SIGNED BY SIR WILLIAM AND MR. HARPUR. We are able to-day to give the actual terms of the agreement which has been entered into between the representatives entered into between the representatives of the Cardiff Railway Company and a I committee of the corporation in respect to the alleged encroachment at the Pier- head, and to publish a fac simile of the plan which has been signed by Sir William Thomas Lewis and Mr. William Harpur (borough engineer). In order that the position may be clearly understood by our readers, it is necessary to re-call some exciting incidents which happened in December, 1897. At a special meeting of the council held on the 6th of that month the Borough Engineer reported that the Cardiff Railway Company had erected I during the previous Saturday night and Sunday mornimr a substantial iron railing between the points A to C in the accom- panying plan. The statement caused a considerable amount of indignation, illas- I much as the obstruction prevented that free access to the harbour which the people of Cardiff had been in the habit of exercis- ing long before the West Bute Dock was I constructed, and continually afterwards until the railings were erected. A reso- lution was unanimously passed by which the borough engineer was instructed to "remove the obstruction at once, and a committee, consisting of the then mayor (Alderman Ramsdale). Alderman Carey, Alderman David Jones, and Messrs. Audrews and George David, was appointed to take such steps as were necessary to enforce the decision of the council. That very night a gang of corporation workmen, under the command of the borough engi- neer, proceeded to the Pier-head, with sledge-hammers and other appliances, and in less than half an hour the railings were demolished. Between the Pilotage Office and the Doint marked A there had existed for some years a wood palisading, which was admittedly o;i private property, but it was alleged that the new fence, from A to C. was not only an interference with the rights of the public, but also an encroach- ment to the extent of 2ft. or 3ft. upon Stuart-street. The Cardiff Railway Com- pany promptly applied for and obtained an injunction restraining the corporation from doing further damage, and followed this up by issuing a writ. The officials of the corporation were instructed to obtain evidence, the London agents (Messrs. Riddell, Vaizey. and Smith) were requested to look after the interests of the corporation, and counsel were engaged. It was expected that the case would have come to trial this month, but in the meantime overtures for a settlement were made by the plaintiffs. The corporation committee were not disposed to fight the question if they could obtain what they required without having recourse to a costly law suit. The terms of settlement first suggested were out of the question, but further negotiations ensued, and between the 11th and 21st inst. five meet- ings of the committee were held. and it was not until Saturday last that a com- promise was agreed to. The minutes of that date, which will be submitted to the council for confirmation on Monday next, read as follows — "The committee again discussed the posi- tion of this action (Cardiff Railway Com- pany v. Corporation), and subsequently pro- ceeded to the Bute Estate Office and met. Sir W. T. Lewis, when the following terms of settlement were*agreed to; — ",I. Railings to be erected as shown in green on the plan annexed hereto (A B D E in our sketch)., and initialled by Mr. William Harpur (borough engineer) and Sir William Thomas Lewis. The part of such railings between the points A and B on the said plan to be erected by the corporation, and the remainder (B D E) by the Cardifl Rail- way Company if they require the same the whole to be afterwards maintained by the Cardiff Railway Company while they desire to do so.' '2. The public to have a free and un- interrupted right of way in perpetuity from Bute-street to the sea over the pro- perty of the company shown in red on the said plan hereunto annexed (the shaded portion in the above drawing), but sub- ject to the payment of the company's authorised dues in respect of vessels using the landing-slip and in respect of goods landed or shipped there, and subject to the right of the company to maintain and work their railway; but in such working of traffic the railway company, their lessees, and tenants shall, as far as practicable, avoid obstructing the access to the landing- slip.' '3. The terms shall -be embodied in an slip.' order of court, and the Cardiff Railway Company shall forthwith discontinue their action against the corporation, each party paying their own costs.' The fact that an agreement has been arrived at seems obnoxious to some people, but the members of the com- mittee will. we are told, be able to fully justify the action which they have taken. They have been reticent so far because, in the early stages of the negotiations, they feared that a premature revelation of the proposed terms might prevent an amicable arrangement, and when the terms had I' been practically arranged they considered that their first duty was to report to the corporation. Tlie members of that body are now in possession of the terms of set- tlement, but they are not yet aware of the reasons which induced the committee to enter into a compromise. As a matter of fact, thev were not sure of the ground which they had taken up; they are con- vinced that, so far as a portion of the demolished railings are con- cerned, they trespassed upon private pro- perty. and they were advised by counsel that their position wa.s bv no means secure. In those circumstances they carefully weighed the advantages and disadvantages which might follow a pursuance of litiga- tion. They had a number of witnesses who were prepared to swear that they had always been permitted to use the landing- slip without "let or hindrance," and this public right they were prepared to defend at all costs. There were, however,, other points of a doubtful nature which had to be faced, and when Sir William Thomas Lewis stated that he was prepared to I grant the public a right in perpetuity from Bute-street to the sea. the very object for which the committee was appointed was obtained. With regard to the reasons which induced the committee to agree to re-erect a portion of the railings which they so ruthlessly demolished just over twelve months ago, it is reasonable to con- elude that they found they had exceeded the rights even of a corporation anxious to maintain all the advantages to which the public are justly entitled. We know that they have not acted contrary to the advice of their counsel, and other legal advisers have expressed their opinion that the compromise appears to be a satisfac- tory one. The fight would, undoubtedly. be interesting, but those who know the whole of the circumstances are satisfied that the best course has been adopted. If the corporation had been successful 1 he trial would have been a very expensive one and. as they have practically secured all they require, they have obviousiv been well advised in taking the more economical course which has been decided upon.
ARREST OF A LLANELLY TRADESMAN.
ARREST OF A LLANELLY TRADESMAN. HIS WIFE ALSO TAKEN IN CUSTODY. A sensation was created at Llanelly on Thursday by the arrest, on a warrant issued by the Official Receiver on behalf of tho Trea- sury, of William Richards, grocer, and his wife, Ann Richards. The parties are well known in the town and district, and are well connected. They carried on what appeared to be a flourishing business in Station-road, holding also a large beer agency. The male defen- dant filed his petition a. -,hort time ago, and ugly rumours were in circulation relative thereto. The Official Receiver procured a search warrant, and executed it. with the result that it is alleged that good-, were found to the value of several hundreds of pounds concealed in various houses in the town. The Official Receiver then communicated with the Treasury, the result being that the defendants were arrested. The defendants were brought before Mr. J. A!lan Williams, J.P., on Thurs- day. The charge against the male defendant was one of unlawfully and fraudulently removing good? between July 7 and November 7. being four months within the time of tha filing of his petition as a bankrupt. The wife was charged with aiding and abetting the con- cealmellt of goods, and also procuring the same. Mr. Johns, solicitor, Carmarthen, appeared to prosecute, and he intimated that there were four or the other charges to be preferred against the defendants, all arising out of the present charge.—Mr. T. R. Ludford appeared to defend, and stated that his clients had a complete answer to the charges.—Mr. Johns applied for a remand, and his Worship granted an adjournment until Tuesday next. —Mr. Ludford applied for hail. and. Mr. Johns not objecting, his Worship fixed the same at LSO each and two sureties of £ 25 each.—Mr. Johns asked that the amount of the bail he increased. having re- gard to the serious nature of the charges.— Mr Ludford said that the defendants knew that these charges were hanging over them for the last three months, and had made no effort to escape.—His Worship adhered to the sum already fixed.

LUNACY IX WEST WALES.I
LUNACY IX WEST WALES. I The thirty-fourth annual medical report of Dr. Goodall, the superintendent of the Car- marthen A«ylum, on the work done at that I institution during the past year has just been r issued, and contains some interesting informa- tion. On January 1, 1898, there were resident 625 patients. Eig'uty-seven had been admitted, 41 discharged, and 53 had died during the vear, 618 remaining under care on December 31 last, only 34 of whom are considered curable. Con- tinuing, Dr. Goodall say.s that "the following [causative agents were ascertained :—Heiedit.v, I in 37 ca- alcoholic excels. 16; trouble and [adversity. 14; previous attacks, 13; the climac- terium in women, 11; epilepsy, 7; senility, 6; mental shock. 6; influenza, 4; onanism, 4; [cranial injury, 2; pregnancy and abortion,1; rheumatic fever. 1; syphilis, 1. In eleven there existed a considerable congenital ba-is for the insanity. In nine there was not sufficient his- tory to enable the c.aise to ba traced. Here- ditary causes are, as usuil, very much in evi- dence. even a* far as such ould be traced. The influence of drink was traceable in IS per cent, of the cases—not a high proportion in com- parison with the figures for asylums in genera'. A plan which is wide y advocated, and is now being put into practice a? regards treat- being put into practice a, regards treat- ment of the insane in institutions, with the object of promoting cure, consists' in the provision of two buildings, in. affiliation. The first partakes of the character of a hospital, with a=s^eiated research ] laborator;es. and is called the 'hospital.' Into j this all recent cases are received, the staff 13 strong, and ail available means are employed in treatment. In the other building, called the 'asylum,' are housed the chronic ca,e;¡ which have failed to recover and such as appear hopeless from the beginning; and thei'e are ward's for tho chronically excited also. Here are ward's for tho chronically excited also. Here simplicity and economy arc aimed at; the staff is reduced as far as possible. The organisa- tion of the 'asylum' is on the lines of an indus- trial community. The patients' labour and the general effort are expended for the bene- fit of the 'hospital.'

I COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS :ASSOCIATION.
COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS ASSOCIATION. ANNUAL DINNER AT SWANSEA. A most successful and numerously-attended dinner was held at the Royal Hotel. Swansea, on Thursday evening. in commemoration of the jubilee of the Commercial Travellers' Benevolent Institution. The Mayor of Swansea (Councillor Richard Martin) presided, and there was a representative attendance.—In respond- ing to "Tlie Ministers of Religion" (proposed by Mr. J. P. Hitchings). the Rev. Evan Jenkins and the ltCY. Watkin Edwards expressed then- regret that a football team like that of Swan- sea, of which they were so proud, should decide to go to Paris and play football on the Lord's Day. It could lead to no good. Mr. Edwards further remarked that he would not bo true to himself as a clergyman if he did not publicly express his gratitude to Sir Edward Clarke and to the Leader of her Majesty's Opposition for the action they had taken on the Ritualistic question. He thought, it was his duty to express the side he took on that subject.—Replying to the toast of "The Houses cf Parliament," proposed by Mr. Howel Watkins, Sir John Llewelyn, M.P.. said he hoped that in the coming session of Parliament they would see something in the way of legisla- tion which would have a far-reaching effect on the commercial education of the youths of this country.-The Chairman then proposed The Commercial Travellers' Benevolent Institution." In replying, Mr. George Taylor (trustee) com- mented on the great increase of the prosperity of the fund. In 1888 the reserve fund was £ 29,000; now it was £ 60,000. The income was £ 8,000; now it was £ 15,000. The cost of annuitants was £ 8,500; now it was £ 10,000. He invoked the assistance of hotel-keepers in the good work.—Mr. Owen Owens also responded. -Mr. R. D. Burnie proposed "Tlie County Borough and Trade" to which the Mayor and C'ha rmau of the Harbour Tray* responded.- Then Mr. George Taylor gave "The South Wales and Monmouthshire Commercial Travellers' Association," to which Mr. Robert Parry and others responded, the greatest enthusiasm being "hown at the continued success of an admirable society.—Other toasts followed.

CADBURY S COCOA is entirely free from all foreign substances, such as kola, malt, hops Ac., nor is alkali used to darken the colour (and so deceive the eye). Dr. Andrew Wilson says:- "Cocoa is in itself a perfect food, and requires no addition of drugs whatever." CADBURY'S is absolutely pure, and should be taken by old and voung, at all times and in all seasons; for Children it is an ideal beverage. Insist on having CADBURY'S, as other Cocoas are often substituted for the sake of extra profit. S»'d only in Packets and Tins. e3959—3 On Thursday morning a man, named Richard Evans, a road labourer, committed suicide by hanging himself in an out-building at Penlan, near Brecon. The deceased had been in the employ of Mr. D. Isaac, surveyor, for many years, and was a quiet, inoffensive man. He had been in bad health for the past few months. An inquest will be held.
Scotland v. Wales.
Scotland v. Wales. THE POSTPOXEMEXT TO FEBRUARY 4th. The Scotch officials on Thursday made during the early morning an examination of the Inver- leith ground. and at that period practically made up their minds that it was impossible for the match—Scotland v. Wales—to take place to-morrow (Saturday). At 11.20 on Thursday morning Mr. E. W. Rees, secretary to the Welsh Rugby Union, received a wire from Scotland saying:—"Afraid it is impossible to play match. Do you agree to postpone until February 4?" Mr. Walter Rees was necessarily in a. quandary, for. looking up the fixture lists of the local clubs, he found that such an arrange- ment would interfere with several return fixtures of the Welsh clubs in England. In one or two cases Mr. Rees was able to consult members of his committee by wire. One of the Cardiff members wag asked if the match with Moseley on February 4 could be arranged, and in this case Mr. Rees received a. favourable reply. The Swansea match with Gloucester, however, still stands in the way, whilst several other club fixtures will have to be arranged. Mr. Rees, with all these difficulties besettiug him, was placed in a rather peculiar position, especially as Scotland required a definite reply of "Ye;,¡" or "No" as to whether the Welsh Union would agree for the match to be postponed until the 4th prox. Looking up the international rules. Mr. Rees found one to the <effect that if an international game be postponed it must hte played sometime during the season, and so Rees wired back to tbe Scotch secretary to the effect that Wales agreed to the match being postponed until February 4.; latter on in tie afternoon Mr. Rees received the following telegram from the Scotch secretary: — "Impossible to play Saturday. Have post- poned match for one week, until February 4, as agreed." This announccmc-nt was sent out during the day to the Scotch players and to the press. On. Thursday evening Mr. Rees telegraphed the whole of the Welsh players and reserves to the same effect, and also called a special meeting of the Welsh committee, at the Royal Hotel, Cardiff this (Friday) evening, at 5.30. Of course, the definite acceptance of theso term3 still lie with the Welsh Rugby Union Committee, who will make a pronouncement upon the question on Saturday evening. It is pretty certain, however, that the reply by Mr. Rees will be endorsed by the committee, and that those Welsh clubs with whose fixtures the new arrangement interfere will no doubt be asked to maka some arrangements with their prospective opponents. The question that now remains i". will It ba possible to play this match on February 4. The weather in Scotland is said to be particularly severe, and with the ground at Inverleith entirely unprotected, a break-up of the frost must take place before the game can be brought off even in February. The change of date, unfortunately, makes the fixture clash with the English-Irish match at Dublin, on February 4. It is a hard fact, for the Scotsmen (says our Edinburgh corres- pondent) to study that this is the first day of the season upon which the grounds havt been too hard to play on. and that the one day should hold the international. All the arrangements will hold good for a week hence. Although no objection is held locally to Mr Dodds (Ireland), who will, it is understood, act as referee in the Scotland v. Wales match, it is still considered that Scotland have been by no means as courteous in the matter of the referee's selection as they might have bee;L Wales submitted several names to the Scotch Union, including that of Mr. Holmes (Midland Counties). Scotland did not consider it worth their while to even consider the names tlio Welsh secretary put to them. but wired back in a peremptory fashion demanding to know if Wale" objected to Mr. Dodds. The unfair- ness that prompted such an unsportsmanlike question from Scotland can hardly be under- stood locally. It is the usual attempt of Scotch officialdom to ride the high horse. Un- fortunately. it. appears as if the Welsh com- mittee have once again allowed the Scot to have. his way. Anyhow, at a meeting held at Swansea the other day a few of the members of the Welsh committee only being present, it was decided to accept Mr. Dodds. provided he was recommended by the Irish Rugby Union. Really, it would not. all said and done, be a hardship to omit intercourse, for it wouid rid us of the intolerable bumptious- ness of Scotch officialdom. On Saturday Bridgend will be invaded by the We-t Cardiff hockey team, who arc due at the asylum town to play the locals. On form West Cardiff ought to win a bit easily, but. still there i-, many a slip, &c. The West team will be: — Goal. G. R. W. Roberts: backs. W. A. Baylis icaptaini. and 1. J. Flux: halves, H. A. Stibiis, W. Roscorla. and T. H. Phillips: for- wards, T. J. Woodthorpe, E. F. Gilman, T. 1If. Arkell. F. N. Jone«, and 1'. N. Baylis. Train leaver at l.*20 iGreat Western Railway). Cardiff will be playing at Merthyr, and should win vory easily, the Merthyr team being novices at hockcy. The Cardiff Club met with rathel rough treatment at the hands of West Pristol They <Bristol) sent down to Mr. E. W. Benitef (the secretary of the Cardiff tcami to say, "Come up without fail; play if it rains water spouts." When Cardiff arrived at Bristol the3 were met by the .-ecrctary of West Bristol, ant taken to the ground a couple of miles away, and then very kindly informed they could not play as the ground wa-> unfit. Hockey teams are asked to take duo notice cf above for their use in making fixtures with above team. A meeting of the Rummer One Hundred Miles Cup Committee was held on Thursday at the Rummer Hotel. Mr. Charles E. Hyde presiding. The chairman expressed regret, on behalf of M.r. George Matthews, the donor of the cup, and of the committee generally, at the fact .that the cup bad not been won before the end of 1898. It, wa-j generally agreed that nothing but the continuance of bad weather w;n responsible for thi-. It was decided to put tho cup up for competition until the end of March. to become the absolute property of the holder of the 100 miles A\ cl-h road record, unpaced, providing only that the present record of sit hour?, fifteen minute- is broken. It is confi- dently anticipated that several local rider1- will make an attempt if the pre-cnt fine weather continues. Nov • omcs the announcement from a ro=3 th5 "hcring pond" that Jimmy MichaeJ—tbe mysteriJUS, the vacillating. \,1:0 is married, but b is no wife. who, though a bachelor, sought a divorce in Crown Point., U.S.A.. whose bitterest rival is hi" tiea: kinsman.

To what this sudden change of purpose i" attributable >« not made clear, but to anyone who has ever attempted to learn anything definite regarding the midget this is not surprising. According to an American exchange, the little Welshman will make his first appearance this :oe.1;:0n at the gigantic indoor cyde tournament to be held :n San Francisco ne:;t month, and. judging by the report-, it will be the biggest thing of its kind ever held in the States. The greatest ridtrs of every class will be there-the (Tack sprinters, the best of midd:e- distance men, and the pick of the long-distance talent. Not even in New York has such an array been brought together upon a single occasion as will mark the San Francisco tourna- ment. Xew York has had all the biOZ six-day riders upon one occasion, the middle-distance flyers upon another, and aiso the crack sprinters, but never have the three classes been combined into one great tournament, as wi!! be the case with the "0mill¡: affair in lIt' Mechanics' Pavilion. The event wi" be hc!o under th? management of Aif Ellinghous-. assisted by the three members of th" American Cycle Racing Association, .William A. Brady, James Kennedy, and 1'. Powers, who conducted the recent six-day race in New York. Manager Ellinghou-e has received word from Brady that the following riders had been posi- tively signed to appear in the San Francisco tournament in the sprint races: --Eddie Bald, three times champion of America; Jay Eaton, the indoor king; Tom Cooper. Bald's great rival; Arthur Gardiner, considered the fastest sprinter on the track; Nat Butler. Teddy Goodman. Owen Kimble, W. B. Caldwell, Harry Elkes, holder of the world's hour record; Fournier. the noted Frenchman; and Jimmy Michael, the peer of all middle-dLtance riders. There is a legion of lights in for the otheT events on the programme, forming the greaLeM aggregation of bicycle cracks that ever turnec their faces westward, and San Francisco car look forward to all kinds of bicycle racing from a quarter-mile dash to a six-day grind.
