ISHEET OF FLAME
I SHEET OF FLAME I Manhole Explosion in Oxford-st. I LIGHT CUT OFF. By an untoward accident the cinemas and other concerns lying to the westward of the town were plunged in darkness for some time on Friday evening, and not a little excitement-not to say incon- venience—was created in the neighbour- hood of Oxfordtreet. I It appears that at about 6.35 the cover of the electrical cable manhole, situate near the White Hart Hotel, suddenlj blew up, by reason of the cable fusing. A large sheet of flame shot up into the j air for some height, much to the alarm I and surprise of those who were in the vicinity. P:C. Lynch, who was on point duty cn tho corner of Oxford and Union-streets, at once communicated with the Fire Bri- gade Station, and the fire engine was im- mediately dispatched to the scene of the outbreak, but, happily, by the time it ar- rived at 6.55, the sheet of flame had spent itself, and a barricade of barrels was made around the manhole.N Workmen from the Corporation Elec- trical Power Station were at once sent to Oxford-street to deal with the repairing of the cable, which they very soon effected, and normal lighting was again restored.
CHRISTMAS 1919. I I
CHRISTMAS 1919. I I I How Swansea Spent it I Early in the week, a writer in a Lon- I don journal described three Cliristmases spent by him in different parts of the world; one was a very hot affair, the other very fold. But am to the British Christmas, the writer said that as any one could get its sensations by jumping into a. cold bath with his clothes on, it was not necessary Izo enlarge upon it. For any one who remained out of doors on Thursday and on Friday, the story might well hold good. But, barring de- votees of the great god leather, the Bri- tisher does not remain out-doors on Christmas Day. It is pre-eminently the indoor festival; and sitting before a bright fire, in rooms brilliantly decorated, I with a good dinner done ample justice to, piles of oranges, apples, grapes, and nuts awaiting pleasure, and with the jovial companionship of friends old and new. the weather ontiide doesn't matter a little bi,t- For here we gather, young, find old "l the etormy winds defy:" I The father held np fairly well on Christmas Eve, and the streets and the shops were crammed with people. Many vere indeed disappointed—those who hi? tot yet been successful in procuring a I urkey or a goose. Santa Claus found riany collaborators, for Christmas is before all other things the children's day. Christmas morning opened wet. There were services in most of the churches, I which were hung in time honoured fashion with the holly and mistletoe. Special mention must be made of St. Mary's Church, the decorations of which were a thing of beauty and a joy. At Tawe Lodge Christmas was a special day, including a, great dinner and tea, a visit from the Mayor and Mayoress and Capt. Sinclair, and a concert. Big crowds attended the football matches at St. Helens and the Vetch Field. Morriston celebrated with its Semi-National Eis- teddfod on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and in the evemng of Boxing Day the Plasmarl Dramatic Society presented their new Welsh drama, Y Prawf," to a very large audience in the Albert Hall. Theatres and cinemas did well, and all over the place, especially in the out-lying districts, there were chapel concerts and cisteddfodau. Unfortunately there was evidence in the streets that some had spent Christ- mas foolishly, but, as a whole, it may be said that Swansea, spite of the dark clouds that hang over Europe, spent a I happy Christmas. —————. -W  AT TAW; LODGE. I I Xmas Holiday Concerts. I That there are generous musical loc:ù I ladies and gentlemen was amply illu<r trated at the two grand concerts given to I the inmates and nurses at the Swansea Workhouse on Christmas and Boxing nights. Mr. W. Lawson Evans was res- ponsible for the musical side of the pro I gramme, and he gathered together such I a host of talent, that made one wondei wtierp lie was getting the artistes from. OT,.o !ttl,,oman remarked that he had [ nevee ".n such a variety of talent given j in one even ing. During the intervals fruit, sweets, and eatables were handed round by generous helpers to the inmates. Christmas night's chairman was Mrs. W. H. Wil- liams, and for '&X ing night Mr. T. Wil- liams. The artistes, who generously gave their services, were Misses Lilian Morgan, Muriel Cole, Minnie Davies, Lily Guppy, I G. Samuel, G. Walters, Jones, Brenda Williams, Davies, and Miss Fender; Messrs.

Then came a surprise presentation to Mr. I Evans of a gift bv Mrs. Ace. On Boxing ni?ht Alderman WiUiam Owen proposed a vote of thanks to all. There was a hoet of willing helpers.

John has a Few Days Out to Celebrate Xmas.  i John Leary (61), more familiarly known as The Water Dog," made his 151th ap-I pearance before the Swansea Bench on I Boxing Day, when an unofficial trip from the wcrkhoue« caused him to be charged j by the Guardians with absconding with the clothes. Evidence was given to the effect that! I Johnny had a day out on December 22nd, I and returned about 4.30, to disappear again shortly afterwards. A policeman found him walking down High-street soon after mid-day on Christmas Day iin"Pr the influence of drink." Supt. Roberts .said Johnny had evidently ¡ heard that there were a lot of new police- men. and he was trying to get back home Ij safely. Johnny said he always worked well when at the workhouse, and this state- j ment being corroborated, the Chairman, said the excuse was getting rather old now, but theench would give Learv one more chance. He was to go back at once
