A Salvation Army Officer's Experience. Riraouskr, Friday.—Thrilling exper- iertces have been rotated by Salvation Army survivors of 1h0 Krapress of Jre- land disaster. Captain Wilson, of Tor- onto, shared a cabin with Adjutant Green and Bandsman Johnston, who were saved, and Captain Dodd, of Tor- onto, who perished. Ca,ptain Wilson was awakened by the collision, hut thought so little of the matter that he did not get up at first. Finding the ship listing, however, he row with the others and went out, but owing to the slant of th3 deck; they ha.d difficulty in climbing to the rail. At la<st, after they had noticed an odour of gas, there came a roar of a terrible explosion, and Captain Wilson found himself thrown, half stunned, against the rail, which he grasped. He climbed over and found himself setting, I with hundreds of other passengers, on the ship's side which, as the vessel! settled, became almost horizontal. j in th-a Water. A few moments later he was in the swirling water. He siezed a piece of wreckage as he felt himself being sucked down, and he was under water for seemingly an interminable period. On coming to the surface he mice lost and regained his hold of the wreckage. The water was intensely cold, but Capt. Wilson managed to hold on until he, was picked up by the second life-boat j which passed the first, being already overcrowded. He was given an oar, but was too benumbed to hold it, and he fainted. The npxt thing he remem- bered wa? being hauled into the Stors- tad bv a rope. "When I was trying to ]'ea,ch th ran, elated (Aptain Wilson, wo-? man handed me her five-year-old girl. 1 j irvyl to lift Hie child H) that Ensigil i Pugmise. who was dinging to the ,Tj1 i above me, could grasp it. bluti he could not reach it. 1 saw it was hopeless, so just before the plunge 11 handed the child hack to its mother.

Greeiiaway. eof the Salvation I Arm X band, It was their honeymoon trip, the couple having been married :n Toronto a week ago. Mrs. Greenaway &aid: "We left our cabin in confusion.

Ho concluded that she must he gone, and he decided to go down with the ship. "Grasping the rail iirmly, down we went." said Mr. Greenaway. 1 'Then came the explosion, and I came to the surface and cjung to the leg of a. table until a pilot boat. picked me up.

I Montreal, Saturday.—A message from Capta-in Bolauger, of the Govern- ment steamer Eureka, which was the I first to reach the scene of the disaster, says that he brought to Father Point o0 bodies and sixty survivors. He relates that when he was told of the disaster by the Marconi operator at. Father Point, he immediately got his creav together, and turned the Eureka towards where the Empress of Ireland had disappeared. He picked up several smal l boat-s and lifted the men, women and children from them into his own ship. The survivors declared that everything had happened so quickly that they .scarcely realised what had oc- curred. Ail they could say was that the ship had gone, and that there was not ever time to cry "Women first!" There were so few women and cihldren saved, not because of any crowding in the lifeboats, but because the stewards had not sufficient time to awaken the passengers. Those saved say they were tossed lout of bed and ran on deck, and had just .tim0 to get into the lifeboats and pull away. Those who waited to idi-ess. or even waited to he called by the stewards, were drowned. Hundreds inusst have been drowned in their sleep. The dead bodies were picked up by the Eureka's crew, who carried them to the stern and laid them in the open, cover- ing them with sheeting. The survivors, who snatched at clothing of any kind to protect them- selves from the cold, walked about in a frantic condition on the decks cJ: the Eureka. As soon as the Eureka had reached Father Point wharf, a call for doctors went out. The scene was piti- ful in the extreme. Some of the sur- vivors screamed that they must land at Father Point, when they were told it would be better to proceed to Rimouski. A message was sent ahead to Mr. Webbar, too Canadian Pacific agent, who had only left the Empress of Ire- land at Rimouski a few hours before the disaster, to prepare to receive the dead. and the survivors. The Eureka pro- ceeded to the wharf at Rimouski, and one hour after she docked the Lady Evelyn steamed into sight. She carried 20 dead and 80 living. One hysterical survivor had to be held on board by two of the crew to prevent1 her from jupmin goverboard. She kept, screaming in agony, "Leonard, my poor Leonard!" She is believed to be the] wife of Mr. Leonard Palmer, the wen known English journalist, who organ- ised a party of British manufacturers who came to Canada two years ago. It is feared that Mr. Palmer was drowned.

CHIPPING A DETONATOR. TWO BOYS INJURED IN EXPLOSION AT HAFOO WORKS. Two Swansea boys, Robert, Fry (16), of 12, Yilliers-streot, and Edward il.i rrts (l-V), of 84, Baptist Weil-street, are lying in the Swansea Hospital seriously injured as the result of an ex- plosion yesterday at tho H afod Lsha. Works of the Anglo-Prench iYickel Company, where they axe. employed as messenger and postboy respectively. The aocident occurred duriiu the lunch hour in the waiting-room of the offices. The staff were at lunch and it was while, according to Fry's version, Harris was chipping with a knife a "copper tube" (a detonator, a "Leader" representative was informed at tho offices), that an explosion oc- curred. Harris sustained severely injured hands, and Fry, who was only a few feet away, rc<x-.ivod the force of the ex- plosion in his face. The latter rushed from the offices, and it was not untU som-e minutes afterwards that the staff came to Harris's assistance thr.t it was realised the two were involved. Medical aid was summoned, and the lads were remove d to the hospital, where they were detained. It is honed that Fry's sight will not be affected. How they camo to be in possession of the detonator is not explained.

I TO-DAY'S CRICKET CARDIFF v. SWANSEA. With a record of three victories and a defeat, Sw ansea to-day tried conclusions with Cardiff. A stronger side than that- which lost at Stradey had been chosen. but there was no cerw/'nty that it would field at full stnmgth, D. B Wlliiains's return had a tendency to strengthen the batting, and the re- tentioTi of Wr. J. Baxter was justified by current form. Since the side last met, Cardiff had lost W. W. Odell, the Leicestershire bonier, he having left the district. The weather to-day was very unsettled, and the turf was on the soft side. SWANSEA. Bancroft, lbw, b 1 H. W.

VIROL, LTD. I VIROL, LTD. Record Year's Trading. I 1 Tho Directors' Report for the 12 months ending March 31st states that the gross profit amounts to £ 76,260 4s. 5d. aga,inst £ 61,956 18s. 6d. tor the previous twelve months. The net pre lit, including the amount brought iorwa.rd is £29,:3G5 8. as compared with 126,437 18s. 4d. la«t year. Deducting debenture interest, ti-iere i-eynains avail- able for appropriation a balance of £ 23,615 8:5, The directors recommend the payment of a dividend at the rate of 12i per cent, for tlieyear, amount- ing to £ 8,0(30 15s., placing £ 10,000 to Reserve Fund (raising tluit fund to £ 22.500) and the carrying forward of £10:614 13s.. The directors are pleased to report a still further increase in the amount of business done with hospitals, consumption saJiatoiia and public insti- tutions. The fact that Yirol is now iised in all the leading hospitals in the Kingdom is evidence of the high opinion held in the medical world of its nutrient value. Amongst the scientific invest-igations of the year much interest was aroused by a remarkable series of researches into the influence of food on the process of phagocytosis, i.e., the action of the white blood cells in destroying the germs of disease. These remarkable results were brought before the public in a striking oSeries of advertisements in the latter part of the finaiicial year, and although there has not yet been time to realise the full Wfect of this publicity, the directors state that the increase in tb.e sal-* for the period under review' forms a record in the history of the Company's trading. The scheme submitted to the •shareholders at the last meeting for the establishment of the Yirol Res.ea.rch Laboratories has now been carried into effect. The excellent premises secured at Bedford-square have been entirely re- modelled and e-ciii prM on the most up- to-dato lines, a.nd now form one of the finest laboratories in the Kingdom. Though the new laboratories were only opened in January last, many Public Health Authorities. Consumption Sana- toria, Hospitals, and a great number of medical practitioners have already availed themselves of the exceptional facilities provided.

MARK TAPLEYISM. I Although they had been entombed I for 20 hours in the South Hiendley pit, near Hemsworth, owing to a fire caused by a lamp explosion, the two miners, Harry Townlev and Charles Brain, ap- pear none the wonse for their ex- perience. Townley, in an interview, stated that when lie found escape was impossible he suid Brain walked to a stream of water running through the workings. Brain would h&ve rushed out into the ismoke and been lost had- Townley not dissuaded him and cheered him by pointing out that there was plenty of water as well as a manger full of corn. In fact, Townley said, We shall be all right for a month."

CHIEF CONSTABLE AND PRIEST. I The chief Constable of Preston lia6 forbidden the carrying of a statue of the Madonna and Child in a Roman Catholic procession through the streets of'the town on Whit-Monday. The Mayor sent a letteir to the priest concerned requesting him to abandon the proposal t-o carry the sV«tue, lest it should lead to a breach ai the peace. The priest replied that unless some properly constituted authority prohi-I bited the carrying of the statue he should adhere to his programme.

 !M7H AND WEST. HOW RAIN AFFECTED THE SECOND DAY ? FIGURES TO-DAY'S IMPROVEMENT. It was most fortujiat? that T?e rain It wa!; IDO'SI fortunate that t/Je ra.ål.. W& after all only on a temporary ?isn, on Friday, for. wit-h the dawn of Satur- day, the clouds commenced to lift, and when the Bath and West 01 .t..11,giaDfl Scciety Show cernmcueed on its third day tin; weather vrixs tine and extremely warm. The promot.etrs were naturally ple. and, if the two first hours of the morning were to be any criterion, it was evident Lhere would bo a remark- ably goad attendance, and it wai wanted. The First Two Days' Attendance. The unfavourable conditions of Fri- day checked to a very great extent the flow of visitors, and from the official figures-the total, including season ucliets, being given as 4,478—it wiii be seen that for a second day, much more wj.s expected, in fact, compared with the opening day they were 39-3 people short. It was the promoters' wish, and incidentally the desire of the public ol Swansea, to equal the record figure ol Bristol in 1903—108,788—but the chances of performing this feat on Friday night wore, to say the least, remote. However, with the tine wea- ther of Saturday the hopes were re- kindled, and there were bright chances of picking up those losses 111 spite of the fact that they were go heavy. Tho grand) total of the two days of the Swansea visit was 9.349, and that of Bristol in 1903 28,968, a loss of 19,620. At Swansea in 1904 the total for the same period was 13,071, while on thE first yjsit in 1^92 the number waf 10,783. It will be seen therefore thai the 1914 1-1 sit was not so successful ai the two previous visits at Swansea. A Lost Child. This is one outstanding fact of the show that up to the present there have been no accidents of any description. The police have had a remarkaibly iiiactf time, there being no reports of pick, pockets or anything else. The only ease they had to deal with was this morning, when they found a little girl wandering about the yard. She was, apparently, lost, and was given shelter in the temporary police shelter. She answers to the na-,n, of 1, Kate," but will not be persuaded tc give her other name. This morning there was slight wort for the veterinary surgeons; one cn two members of the live stock contract ing chills. The more notable case ts n, ported to be the sliire stallion of Lord Tredegar, "Gacr Baronet," which took first place. This animal contracted a cold, but is progressing as favourably as can be expected. To-day's Competitions. As previously stated, there were this morning good indications that the at- tendances would be good. The o-aterner were kept busy4 and the visitors-coi& posed cniefly of farmers and thel: families--made the usual tour of in- spection, following on at a later houi to the Recreation Ground, where a thorough inspection was made of the live stock. In the horse ring, too. there was the parade of cattle, and this naturally attracted large crowds. The exhibition of specimens, illustrating methods of shoeing, proved attractive, while large numbers passed into the horticulture tent. At ten o'clock there conimenced the shoeing ccmperition, and in the afternoon there were inter- esting competitions in the large ring. Once more the dairy section proved attractive, there being numerous com- petitions throughout the day, while the practical instruction in bee-keeping, conducted in the Cricket Field by tne Glamorgan Beekeepers' Association, had many admirers. Annual Meeting. Tho annual general meeting of the Bath and West aTld Southe-m Counties Society was held at the Council Pavilion of the show ground to-day, Sir John T. D. Llewelyn, Bart., presiding.

W. Talbot Rice, M.A., will on Sunday afternoon hold divine service in the dairy in the .Recreation Ground. The public will not be admitted, the service being for the advantage of th< staff of the Bath and West Show. The Y.M.C.A. Tent. One department which is busy on the show ground when all others are quiet is the Y.M.C.A. social service tent, which is being used very largely b*- the herdsmen and other workers on the show ground in the evenings after th show closes. In a Jong marquee provision hat been made for the men to go in an<: write their letters (notepaper anc envelopes being provided free) and poet them in ?lie tent. and to read th<? daily papers, illustrated journals, and magazines, or to indulge in a friendlv game of draughts, dominoes, or quoits. Each evening a concert is provided. A short address is given at the c of each evening, and the proceedings close with prayer. The tent is open from 9 a.m. t-o 10 p.m., and in the daytime visitors, as well as herdsmen, are welcome to make use of it,. The work is being carried on by voluntary workers, and has been made possible bj the subscriptions of frkwii6
