ICRICKET.
CRICKET. WENVOE v. THE REV G. H. JENNER'S TEAM. The annual cricket fixture between the Rev G. H. Jenner's XI. and the Wenvoe Cricket Club came off on Thursday last at Wenvoe in lovely weather. Mr Jenner had got a very strong team together, includ- ing the Glamorgan County player, Rev Owen Jones, who the day before had bowled so disastrously against Cardiff first eleven, when he took seven wickets for 14 runs. At 12.30 the clergy, winning the toss, assumed the defensive, Graham opening the attack by sending down a maiden. Waite bowled at the other end, and in his second over clean bowled Critcbton-one for 3. G. M. Williams, the new comer, quickly left, being smartly taken at lung slip by E. Nell off Graham. With the exception of O. Jones, Baker and Evans were the only ones to make a stand, scoring 8 and 7 respectively by cautious play. O. Jones, who went in second wiclceS down, was ninth man out with 36 to his credit, having played brilliant cricket. The innings closed for 74. Waite secured six wickets and Graham four. Wenvoe sent in Graham and Kenipthorne to face the bowling of O. Jones and Evans, and 15 was reached before the latter was bowled by the first-named for a carefully played 7. Powell and E. Nell were the only ones who did much except Graham, who was still in—the former hitting a 4 and a 3, and the latter adding 6 by careful play. Graham, who was playing with great caution, was sixth man out, being forced back on his wicket by a grand ball from Sinnott Jones, who had relieved Evans, and retired with 28 to his credit, and the total at 64. A similar fate befel Nell at the same total, but with only 11 runs wanted to top the clergy's score, and four men to go in, it looked any odds on a victory for Wenvoe. So well did Sinnott Jones bowl, however, that all were out for I four more runs, leaving Wenvoe in a minority of, six on the first innings. The time arranged for drawing stumps was seven o'clock, and only about an hour remained to play, when the clergy went in for a second time. Wenvoe playing all they knew, and fielding magnificently, disposed of them in twenty- five minutes for exactly 25 runs, leaving 32 runs to get to win. The bowling of Waite and Graham, and the fine catches brought off by Poole, Nell, and Weaver in this innings speaks well for the prospects of the club for the coming season. Robinson and Poole went in to hit off the runs, which was done at the expense of four wickets just five minutes before the call of time, leaving Wenvoe winners of a grand match by six wickets. Robinson added a magni- nciently hit 21 as his contribution to the score. During the interval Mr Robinson, the genial captain of the club, entertained the teams, umpires, and scorers to a sumptuous luncheon at his residence, and during the afternoon Mrs Robinson very kindly dispensed tea on the field itself to all-comers. Mr Nell, the esteemed president of the club, also very kindly lent, and had erected a spacious marquee on the ground, and a large attendance of ladies and gentlemen added much to the enjoyment of the match, which is annually looked forward to with so much pleasure. The Rev G. H. Jenner and Mr Claude D. Thompson again, as last year, kindly officiated as umpires. The following was the detailed score:— „ REV. G. H. JENNER'S XI. 1st Innings. 2nd Innings.

THE EAST GLAMORGAN RAILWAY…
THE EAST GLAMORGAN RAILWAY BILL IN PARLIA- MENT. EVIDENCE IN PROMOTION CONTINUED. [Continued from Page 3J. This Bill, the object of which is to authorise the construction of new railways in the county of Glamorgan, on Wednesday last again came before a committee of the House of Lords, of which Lord Balfour of Burleigh is chairman. The first witness to-day was Mr J. W. Szlumper (engineer to the scheme), who said he had had a large experience in laying out and constructing railways, particularly in South Wales. He had laid out the line now before the committee. Dealing with the main line (No. 1. from Barry to Bargoed), he said that' there was no engineering difficulty about it. The gradients were first-rate, and the curves all that could be desired. The line was laid out in such a way as to serve the mining interests. For a considerable distance it went through a virgin valley, and it not only suited all the trade requirements, but in laying out he had also had regard to a large population at Bargoed and Nelson who wanted to reach the market town of Pontypridd. The distance was ten miles odd; by the present line it was 16 miles odd. He had had a. large experience in dealing with running powers, and he said that there would be no engineering or physical obstacle in the way of exercising the running powers proposed by the Bill. Cross-examined by Mr Pember, Q.C., for the Powell Duffryn Company, witness said in conver- sation with the manager of the Powell Duffryn Company on this point, the latter had said that he should hail with delight anything that would place him in connection with Barry. There would be plenty of room left to the Powell Duffryn for sidings, coke ovens, and brickworks. Further cross-examined, witness said he got his instructions to lay out the line from Mr-T. R. Thompson, a director of the Barry Company, who said he wished the Barry Company to be con- nected with the great railways of the country. Cross-examined by Mr Balfour Browne, Q.C. (for the Taff Vale Railway Company), witness said nothing was gained in respect to distance to Barry from the railways by the new line, but there would be a saving of time, as it was always quicker to have a line in the same hands from pit to port. Do you join hands with anyone of the great companies, or is itnotall done by running powers? -Except at Bargoed, where we join the London and North-Western. Witness (further examined) said he had laid out the line as a first-class passenger line. Cross- examined by the same learned counsel (for the Glamorgan Canal Company), witness said that no injury would be done to them by the crossing at Pont-Shon Norton. He bad heard rumours about a proposal to convert the canal into a railway. Replying to counsel for Mr Phillips (a house- owner at Gelligaer on the line of route), witness said he should describe Mr Phillips' house as a good-sized cottage, without any special residential value. He thought it. would be of value to the house to have the railway where it was proposed to be. Mr Arthur Lawrence, mining engineer and mineral agent for Lord Aberdare and Mr Craw- shay Bailey, cross-examined by Mr Bidder, Q.C. (for Lord Bute), said he would not say that the whole amount of mineral area unlet in the district to which he bad alluded was only 5,000 acres, which would be about enough for two large collieries. Mr Illingworth, trustee under the will of Mr Thomas, of Ystradmynach, said the deposit of the Bill had already led to negotiations for the development of the undeveloped coalfield. At present Cardiff was their point of shipment, but they desired to have a route to Barry also. Mr William Smith, general manager of the Rhymney Iron Company, owners of the large collieries at Mardy and the vicinity, numbering eight in all, the acreage being between 4,000 and 5,000, was the next witness. He said they hoped this year to increase their output to a million tons. His company were practically shut out of Barry, which put them to a disadvantage of two- pence a ton or more. He supported the scheme in order to get direct access to Barry instead of passing, as at present, over more than one line. Cross-examined by Mr Bompas for the Rbym- ney Railway Company, witness said it would be a great advantage to have the traffic carried over one line. Mr Bompas But here you will still have two companies you know— the East Glamorgan and the Barry ? Lord Balfour of Burleigh: Yes, Mr Bompas, but I am quite satisfied in my own mind that it is going to be worked as one line. Mr James Lewis Smith, shipper and importer of coal at Cardiff and Newport, and a resident of Gelligaer, also supported the scheme, which he said would be a great improvement on the exist- ing route by affording a more direct access to Barry. Cross-examined by Mr Littler, Q.C. Witness admitted that at present they could get to Barry with the Monmouthshire coal over the North- Western, but pointed out that it cost 2d a ton more than to Cardiff. Mr Rees Jones, director of the Ocean Colliery Company, and the commercial manager of the concern, described the extensive outputs of their pits-about three-quarters of a million tons of coal a year—and said that his company was vitally interested in the scheme. Their Ynysybwl Colliery was served by No. 4 line, and Treharris by No. 3. The scheme had been laid out well in respect to junctions with their collieries. Some of the principal members of the Ocean Company were promoters of the Barry Dock and Railway scheme, which had resulted in a reduction of rates of about 30 per cent in the district. But for the Barry Company his Company would have been able to carry on their business, but still they had to suffer great delay and difficulty in consequence of the very congested condition of the traffic in the neighbourhood of Pontypridd and Caerphilly. Generally speaking, he approved of the present scheme, for his company were anxious to get to Barry, which offered the best facilities. Mr Littler, Q.C. (for the Taff Vale Railway Company) The object of this line is to fatten Barry, is it not ? Witness I do not know as to that. Mr Littler I put it to you that it is so. Witness: Very well, then. You need not ask me. Further cross-examined by Mr Littler, witness admitted that the traffic of his company had been worked better during the past six months than ever before. He was bound to say that since the ground was surveyed for a new line there had been a great improvement in the working of the traffic. (Laughter.) Witness also complained of delay in dealing with trucks. Cross-examined by Mr Pember, witness said that his company had failed to get their coal to Barry on the same terms as to Cardiff. If this line were sanctioned they expected to get the same rate to Barry as to Cardiff. Mr Pember If the Barry Company were to take coal from you at an unremunerative rate over the line, they have got a dock at the end of it out of which they would be able to recoup themselves, would they not ? Now, there is fairness even between railways companies, and do you think it fair that a company with the advantage of a dock should have these additional facilities as against companies without a dock ? Mr Littler, Q.C., asked whether his company had not an agreement with the Barry Company which bound them to send 50 per cent of their traffic there ? Witness replied that there was an agreement which was applicable only to a portion of their traffic and from some of the pits. Mr Littler asked for particulars a3 to the quan- tity, upon which Witness appealed to the committee as to whether he was bound to answer the question. It was not convenient for his firm to have their business exposed to the many competitors in the room. There were some of the sharpest competitors present. (Fen' Com :»ua: m see Next Week.)
