Cardiff was known to The Trade" as a. market tor common Tea. This is not very diltteriug. but it is true. nevcrtheless. CONNOISSEURS complained there was no srood Ten to he had, but the public generally were content to drink the medium and common grades then ottered. They could not at firgt appreciate the Hijrh-Class Tea which we were i1.troouclng to their notice. ALL THIS, however, is now changed, for by the finest growths of India aud Ceylon at seasonable jJrofits wc have in a short tinle completely revolutionised the Tea trade in this town aud district.

FUTURE PROJECTS.
FUTURE PROJECTS. Cardiff s Deputy-Mayor gave utterance to some chesring intelligence at the annual dinner of the Chamber of Commerce on Saturday night. It was to the effect that during the next three or four years the rates would increase between 3d. and 4d. in the B. If this be a correct estimate, it is a delightful outlook for the already well- burdened ratepayer. How far the Special Estimates Committee would be able to reduce this addition is a matter for conjec- ture. If, however, all the schemes which are in view are to be carried out. it will, of course, necessitate an increase in the rates, which the town should ungrudgingly pay. The water scheme, according to Alderman David Jones, will demand £ 50,000 more; town improvements, under the conditions of the Act of 1894. will necessitate the item of i!iJ50.000 the western sewer will drain awav the, comparatively speaking, insignificant outlay of £ 7,000. Looming in the distance, says the alderman, are the new Town-hall and Asylum, whilst the town has been asked to pay £ 70,000 for Llandaft' Fields, and Splot- kwwls demands a recreation ground. This is a heavy programme, and the thanks of the town are due to the Deputy-Mayor for so concisely stating the future work of the (Jouuei). Enormous responsibilities will lest upon the heads of the ratepayers' representa- tives, and there will be no room for bunglers and bar-ptqlour politicians round the \ocud. The elections ot the future must be fought on serious lines, for none but real:y capable men, men of business experience, men entirely superior to ciiquism. party prejudices, and tactics for self-advance- ment, should be entrusted with the .rapidly growing interests of the town. We do not agree with Mr. Jones in relegating the Town- hall to the sphere of distant projects. It is one of the pressing necessities; of the hour. The fact that there is all the hurry-scurry in smarten ug up the present hall for the Prince's visit proves beyond a doubt that the time has arrived for a new structure worthy of the town. An excellent site has been suggested in our columns, and the Council will do well to seriously consider the suggestions, plans, and estimates put forth. The tow, has but one voice on the Town-hall question: It says Let us have a new build- ing and let 1t be soon.

,THE SPHINX'S CAP.
THE SPHINX'S CAP. AN AMERICAN ENGINEER'S IN- TEBESTING WORX. t A correspondent sends some cuttings from an Egyptian newspaper, the "Sphinx," giving an account of an interesting "Mnd. On Feb- ruary 22 the "Sphinx" said "Colonel George E. Raum. of San Francisco, who has twice re- cently visited Egypt, has now on his thin; visit embarked on a most interesting woric of exca- vation At the Sphinx aud Pyramids of Ohizel, having first obtaine dthe permission of the Go- vernment. The colonel commenced operations a few days ago, and has nearly 100 men sad bore- ab work under hit. fktlled gu dance. Colonel Raum has cleared away the sana from the Ixise of the Sphinx to a considerable depth. He has also cleared out the hole in the top ;f the head to a depth of 7ft.. the cross measure- ments of the hole being about 3ift. iong by 24ft. broad. The hole passes through the cap of the Sphinx for a.bout 6ft., and the remaining 1ft. is drilled through the. solid rock out of whio hthe rest of the head is cut. At the back of the Sphinx a shaft has been round, and the sand which filled it has been cleared awav to a cepth of 25ft. At the bottom of the shaft two passages have Deen found running in a X.W. and S.W. direction respectively." A week later the "Sphinx" was able to announce that Colonel K-auin had made a most interesting discovery. In the head of the Sphinx there is a hole drilled to the depth of 7ft., and it hasa been pretty generally agreed that this hole was connected with a cap which must have crowned the head of the Sphinx, but whioh cap has been miesing from time immemorial. Many excavations have been previously under- taken, but it has been left for the ex-colonel of Engineers from San Franoi^-o to find the cap. This was oome upon at a depth of 14ft. or 15ft. only below the surface. It measures 4-ft, 3in. in extreme breadth, and is marked with the three lotus columns, underneath which is the serpent. The cap was found in the temple of the Sphinx between the fore- paws, and is painted red."
WHY REFUSED.
WHY REFUSED. THE PROPOSED REGIMENT OF GENTLEMEN. The "Globe," commenting on the refusal of Lord Lansdownc to sanction the formation of a "regiment of gentlemen" (to join which over 500 applications had been received), re- marks:—The official mind, .true to th-2 tradi- tions of the War Office, refuses-to accept an addi- tional supply the very best recruits to be found in the kingdom. Lord Lansdovvn»:> can- not fail to be aware jthat. the young gentlemen who have given their names will not enter the army through the ordinary channels. Just as in local political clubs it Ita> been found tliait clerks and working men cannot get on comfortably together, so in the ranks there cannot be pleasant association between those accustomed Ito the amenities of cultured life and men who have never had experience of such surrotyidings. It comes to this, then, that the recruiting service is officially denied access to the fresh source of supply in spite of its being so hard driven as to have to "nlist 20 per cent. under standard. There is not m other country in the world which would be- have so foolishly as to refuse to avail itself of such super-excellent raw materials for soldiers. Something mighft be said for that decision if the applicants covenanted for higher pay, more comfortable quarter*, ct exceptional privi- leges. But that. is not the case; they are en- tirely willing To accept PRECISELY the same cor-ditions of service as obtained in the re.-t of shall rot be forced into association with men the army, their <:olè stipulation being that they who neither by birth, by education, by early tmining, nor by habit of l,t't', stand on th" same social plane. We can only hope that Lord Laissdcwne wdl reconsider his unfortunate de- cision.
GERMAN OBSTINACY.
GERMAN OBSTINACY. The Berlin Professors do liûi teeu: to be taking kindly to the presence of ladies in their class-rooms. Although ladle's are not y«i, admitted ;1. regular student*, buf-oniy in virtue of a special authorisation, the >1111&11 xTonc-ession meets with much opposition. Hfrr Sc-hniidt, Professor of Gcrniau literature i* reported to have ^petitioned the Minister of Public Instruc- tion with a new of having his course exempted from the wppiieatior, of the innovation. Pro- fessor von Preitschke, the well-known historian of the Hohouzollerns. appea: to regard juoh a formality as unnecessary. A few Jay. ago, it i, etated, he peroeived a lady amorig the auditors for the first time. He hastily de- scended from his desk, approached the intruder, and, offering Iter hi* arm. politely conducted her co the door. It win be interesting to bee wheiher the politeness of the professor or the authority of the Minister i.s to prevail.

International Football1
International Football1 ♦ THE ASSOCIATION MATCH AT CARDIFF TO-DAY. England and Wales Fight the First International Game Ever Waged on the Cardiff Arms Park. For the first time in the history of the Association jame in Wale, Cardiff has been selected as the venue of one of the three •nt»:r- nat-ional matches of the year. There is little fear that the pluck of the Association committee ill taking this course will not be attended with its reward, TOT everything points to a gcod match and a record '"gate." The dribbling code is to many Cardiffians a novelty, and those to whom it is will be/urged by curiosity to attend the big match to-day. Others there are who have watched second and third rate clubs perform, and understand the game, but who have little idea of the pitch of excellence at which the game is played by members of the leading English and North Wales clubs. To them to- day's game will he a revelation. The dribbling code has been made a science, and when played as such it is one of the prettiest and most attractive games from a spectator's point of view that it is possible to see. The rapidity and accuracy with which the ball is sent from foot to foot, and very often from head to head, the speed with which the players dribble the sphere, and the machine-like precision with which the forward* work together, ail combine to make an A-eociation match between two tir.-t-cla-? teams a sight well worth witnessing, not only to the followers of the game, but to those whose knowledge of the rules may be somewhat vague. Ae in all trials of skill or {.trength, the exhibition, to be interesting, necersitites the competing parties being evenly matched, and thie afternoon such should be the case. At any rate, the contest will be far from being a ore-sided one. Wales will place upon the field an eleven strong at every point, made up of players picked from the leading clubs of Wales and the Nottli of England, while ^iat of their rivals is fully representative of the cream of amateur and professional football in Eugland. Up to the present point of the season both England and Wales have met and vanquished Ireland, thw being the only international match either country has played so far this year. In both games the sons of the verdant isle came out second best, succumbing to the Welshmen at Wrexham to the tune of six goals to nil, and being beaten by England in Ireland by the narrower margin of two goals. Of course, it is absurd to draw the conclusion from this that Wales is the better team, for the elevens whioh will be seen on the Cardiff Arms Park this afternoon are both infinitely stronger ^han the combinations which suc- ceeded in lowering the colours of the Irishmen. The respective committees have been fortunate in being able to place on the field, with one exception, the teams as selected. The excep- tion is the substitution in the W'elsh team of Smart Arridge. of Everton, for D. Jones, the captain of the Bolton Wanderers, who is unable to play through an injury sustained last Saturday whilst playing against Aston Villa. The change does not weaken the eleven, for Smart Arridge is a champion po,ck, being particularly active, by no means new to international honours, and possessing plenty of experienoe. The other members of the Welsh eleven have all figured in international games before, .and are, therefore, well acquainted with the bost means of utilising their strength to the best advantage against their formidable opponents. Each man is well known in the Association world, for even A. G. Morris, the youngest of the eleven—being only nineteen years of aye, and. by the bye, the only amateur in the team—has already earned for himself a reputation. He plays for Aber- ystwith, with which club for the past- two seasons so consistent has been his form that he was given the all-important poet of centre forward in the Welsh combination which defeated Ireland on February 29- To-day he fills the same position, and whether he will again cover himself with glory remains to be seen. He will be meeting in such men as Goodall, Smith, Bloomer, and Bassett players of a different calibre to the Irish front rank against whom he shone so much, but, still, he may hold his own, and his doing so would stamp him a« being one of the most promising youngsters yet turned out of Wales. His two wings are sure of possessing one requisite, and that is combination. The right wing, Meredith, who is reputed to hø a little wonder, and J. Davies both play together for Manchester City, and are, therefore, well acquainted with each other's play. They are sure to be a. thorn in the side of the Englishmen. On the other wing there will be W. Lewis and H. Morris, both old hands, who can he depended upon to utilise to the full any chance that comes in their way. The backs are good ones, and the halves, if they play up to form, should lie all there when defending or on the attack. The tackling abilities of the two are unquestionable, and they eaoh possess plenty of judgment and kick well. The greater part of both teams arrived in Cardiff yesterday, the Wel.-hmen putting up at the Alexandra Hotel and tbo Eng- lishmen choosing the Park Hotel as their head- quarters. The Principality eleven is accompanied by the secretary of the Welsh Association Mr. J. Taylor, of Wrexham, who expressed the following opinion of the Welshmen's prospects to one of our representatives last evening: — ''The team is a gcod all-roimd one," he said, "and I think should hold its own if our half backf are only able to stay right up to the finish. If our defence breaks down and the English forwards are in form we won't stand much of a chance. Still, I have not much fear of this being the case, and anticipate a good and exciting game." The Englishmen who have already come down arrived in Cardiff yesterday afternoon. They report themselves all in the pink of condition, and are confident of 'beating the Taffies, although quite realising that the Welsh eleven is one of the strongest. the Principality has turned out in recent years. During TIne afternoon the majority of bhe Welshmen, who all looked fit and well, drove to Newport and hack. To-day the plaver3 will be taken to see the docks and other features of interest in Cardiff. The kick-off is timed to take place at four oY'ock. Past Matches. The past record of matches under the dribbling code played between the two countries is not a subject which Welshmen can consider with much pride. In all seventeen matches have been played, out ot which •England has foen successful no lees than thirteen times, Wales winning twice and wo match;* being left drawn. The Welshmen have not scored a victory since as far back as the year 1882. when at Wrexham they beat a formidable English team by five goals to three, thus winninsr two years in succession, as in 1881 at Blackburn they also won. the score being one goal to nil m their favour. In all they have succefded in notching seventeen goals to Eagalnd's 55. The motst Ji-astrour game of the seventeen from a Welsh point of view was at Stoke three years ago, when the Englishmen sent the ball no lesg than six times into the net. From the year 1886 to 1894 England can lay claim to an unbroken series of substantial victories. Last season this victorious career received a cheek, for in London Wales managed, after having quite as much of the game as their opponents, to make a draw. Let us hope that to-day the Principality will do even better by gaining a long-looked-for victory. The Teams. The teams will take the field as follows:- Wales S.

The team selected to do duty for the Irin- cipality against their formidable opponents from England is a good all-round: one. For some years past Wales has 1)('(>11 short of a really strong attack, but this year they are ablo to call upon some excellent performers. That their forwards are tricky and1 can shoot vras clearly evidenced when they thrashed the representatives of the Emerald Isle a few day., baok on Wrexham Racecourse to the extent of cix goals to one. Wales has, on the other hand, srenerally had a stern and capable defence —that was when they were able to play their best available talent, and this year is no excep- tion to that rule. Only four changes made bv the Welsh Selection Committer in the team which so easily accounted for Ireland, and these were not made because tlvose four players did not perform welt-far from but on account of the known abilities of other players, and who did not assist Wales on the firat occasion f>eoaitso»-the match iitt; on -6 Saturdav, and they could not conveniently ptt away from the clubs they were bound to. However, "ve may fairly claim the te<J selected to pla, England to be strong an eleven as can possibly lie got rogether, except, pertmpr,, 5-ltat tcome might like to see that noted performer .T. Trainer, of Preston North End, between the sticks; but taking into consideration the brilliant performance of Sam Jones in %hs Wales Y. Ireland encounter, and the fact iha.: Trainer li" only just re-appeared on the field after being absent from it for week;, owing to broken ribs, the selection cannot be grumbled d. Dealing with the players in order, we take, •first of ftll, the custodian, Sam Jones. This player was originally brought out by the Wrexham Eleven, i'ke that prince of iroaJ- keejpers, Trainer. Having done good scrvica with that team, he waj drafted into the Burton Swifts Eleven, and for this club he has played some remarkably good games. He gs-ined hi.* Cf.p in 1893, 'llen he appeared against ¡;;Cot- hnd and Ireland. In 1894 lie way not called upon, buj last sea-ion he kept goal »tgainsi Scotland on Wrexham Racecourse, ï,)len tho Welshmen were very neaclv fining their firsit victory over tie Scotch players, the result being ft driw of two goals each. Jones -is. practically a young man, but is full of colli- de nee and pluck. The backs. Charlie Parry, the late Everton performer, and Smart Arridge. of Everton, jfe well-known defenders. Parry .showed whru he VTOJ made of against England last season, v/hen ha had s, big finger in 'he i-e.nlt being a draw. This, considering that- the msioh w»s played in London on Monday, and most o- the Welch team had been opposing Ireland on -the previous Saturday Belfatrt, was Kiojc creditable piec-e of work on -the part Os tho Welshmen. Arridge learnfc his football at Bangor, but migrated to England, and hen for several years been intimately :.V&K>- ciated v/ith the Everton Club, showing good and con^iitefit forn- He is a. splendid bsck, a good tackier, and » safe kick. Parry first saw the light at Llansilin, and lia; been a bit of a rendering stone-. hf.ft season he and Bob Kelso were the mainstay of the Eierton defence, but he has left them this season, and captains the Newtown Eleven. The half- backs are a j ruly tine trio, and will work the full hour :«.nd a ha'f without, flagging. The riglii half back, Joe Rogers?, gained his cap for the first occasion against Ireland tlii; year, but co veil did he* perform that day, and t?o bril- liant has his play been all through the season, that fchii second honour could not have been very well withheld. He is wonderfully active, and his dashes are a treat to witness. He is as ''nimMs as a cat." He first gained pro- minence in the Brymbo Eleven, whose ground is c-ituate a few mihr, from Wrexham, viid at the beginning of 'this season he was snapped ,g_ up by the committee of the latter club. The centra half-back, T. Chapman, formerly played with tho same bam as Charlie- Parry, now appfars in, but at present he is a Manchester City pro., and this club furnishes no ltss than four -of the Welsh team. This fthonvs that the Macchest-er authorities must have a great liking for and belief in Welshmen, and, taking into account the high position occupied by the Manchester Club in the Second League, their confidence has? net been misplaced. Chap n an is not new to international honours, as la-jt season ho formed park of the elevens v hi<'h drew with Scotland and Ireland, whilst in 1894 he appeared in all three international contests. J. L. Jones fills the left wing half- back position, and a worthy man he is for the pOSit. He sports the Sheffield United colours, and cannot be truly said to be a Wei*h footballer, as his native town, Rhudd- IIw, near Rhyl, ha3 no club. He is a very cool player, and thovvs excellent judgment. He played in all three matches for Wales last st ftton, and if he shows similar form at Cardiff to that he exhibited against Ireland last month, ho A, ill repeat that success this year also. The forwards are probably the finest the Princi- pality has turned out for some Hare they not gob one who is declared by excellent judges to lie one of the finest footballers <it present playing with prominent clubs ? We refer to W. Meredith, the Manchester City right winger, and who has been described by one well-known authority en English league players as the beau ideal of a forward. This player, and D. Jones, J. Davies. a.nd II. Morris, members ot the eleven, all learnt their A H (J of the game at Chirk, English gold !la. drawn them all -to the large centres. Meredith, however, is on ?. different, footing to most League player", «v; during the week lie lives at his home at, Chirk, and follow his employment, and on the Saturday or Monday, r.1r whatever day his team may lie engaged, he journeys to the scene 0; ihe encounter. tie has as hi" partner Davies, whe belongs to the Manchiefcter City team, joining vhat combination trior! time ago, leaving left Sheffield United for purpose, sJong with IT. Morris and other Wei#inner. Joe, M he is familiarly osiled, assisted .Meredith against. lingland a-nd Ireland last- season, ond- played against Scotland, having v his partner on thevt occasion Hen Lewis, now of (.'hesier, but a, native of Wrexham. Davies firs* rhone forth ;s 9.r intenutionr.l in 3.89.1., v/hen he took part- in all three matches. The leit- wing is composedl of William Lewis and H. Morris. The tirst-named is a splendid example or what athleti.'s can do for a man. He first appeared. in an international contest in 1885, and to-day he is us dangerow, ?. "hot as áU: .wid this, a.fter celebrating his twenty-first international match, when he appeared against Ireland this season. Against England lie has. a really remarkable record. <?« from 1885 to 189?. lie never missed a match against the English champions—an unbroken record of eight years. We wonder how many other globe-kickers run SILV the same. 'thinR-. He showed clearly enough in the fir,t. international match this season that he knew how to get goals, m he popped on the first two point; for A Vales. lie is a native of Bangor, but i, a-t. present stationed in the capital of Cheshire. The centre is A. G. Morris, of Aberystwith, and is a very young player, not yet liavi.n.g readied his twentieth year. He is a clever centre, and his first interna- tionl appearance was in that memorable Irish match on February 29, when he kept his wings in perfect- union, and scored two goals. He, has a fair turn of speed, dafdtea at. the ball, and can shoot, while his height favours him. THE ENG-LISJ TEAM. G. B. RAIKES had the reputation of being one of tho best public school footballers. Goinv; into residence vt Magdalen College, he Floon obtained a trial in the Association eleven, and. as it proved, with the best results. Afc all events, for the last, three years he has kem goal for h:2 university with distinct credit, lie has also done service for the Corinthians, as well its for Norfolk. His selection as goal- keeper of the amateur eleven which represented England against Wales at the Queen's Club last March wasi only N. fitting recognition of his merit as one of quite the beist amateurs of the day. With height in his favour (he stands 6ft. 2in. in his shoes), he bas great physical advantages for goal-keeping, and, as he is very quick with his hands as well as his feet, he is THE WELSH TEAM.

Scotland and l* "1 land. A. G. HENFREY has always borne a rS-putation, and deservedly 60, as a ha-1"" worker, ever aince he first made a na.me as Association footballer in his early days at r lingborough Grammar School. His subsequent record at Cambridge showed him to be a playet of considerable variety, a.nd, whether he been as a forward or at half-back he has aI- ways acquitted himself with credit, the game thoroughly and to the uttermost' An active member of tho Corinthians, lie bas represented England more than once, a.nd in March of bst year against Wales at th* Queen's Club at half-back. He does an iØ- mense amount of work, ÏÐ strong a.nd pluckY. and tackles well, a.nd feeds his forwards with judgment. Though a. fair kiok, hie is, P°r* haps, seen t.o the best advantage in breaki** up the opposite combination: THOMAS C'RAWSHAW is a Sheffielder by :.1 birth a.s well as early training, and with tbe exception of one seawm, when he was vnih the Heywood Central F.C., has spent the be1't part- of his football career in the development t of the Association gaimc in the neighbourhood of Sheffield. Engaged with the Park Grange and Attercliffe Clubs in turn, he returned. after j a season with Haywood Central, to Sheffield to assist the Wednesday Club, with whom he ball j since been engaged. A thorough worker. always, he got his international cap for Eng* land against Ireland a.t Derby last March, an^ J later in the season occupied the same T| for tlie English League against the Scottish1 1 League at Glasgow. As 0 centre half-back j he is bound to be of use, as he plays a hard 1 game from first to last, and is unselfish to ? degree. A gtiod tackier, he uses his head .1 cleverly as well, and as he is not yet 24, ? should become even a. better all-round play6r,v JOHN GOODALL was born m London. ■ though he made his reputation originally in Scotland. Leaving Scotland, a.fter twjo yeart with Great Lever, he associated himself in 1886 I with Preston North End, and ic. wo3 his oo»* sistently good play with that club, then with few, if any, superior, that induced the of the Football Association to give him a. in the Engtlish Eleven seven years ago asrains* Scotland. Six years ago he left Prenton Nor*"1 End to join Derby County F.C., whose team hi i lias captained ever since. He has iplayed for El gland in all eleven matches, in some as cap" j tain, and at Glasgow in 1894, as well a« a» I Liverpool last spring, he showed his old skin }& against, tho Scottish Eleven. Playing the* n roughly for his side as a centre, lie keeps the ? forward combination thoroughly well together | and, with perfect judgment and plenty of nerve, he is also very dangerous in front of th* goal, being himself a c-a.pita.! shot. R. R. SANDILANDS, of the Old West- iJ minsters, is ono of the keenest representative* j of Association football in the Metropolitan J district. Though he has so far not been fortu* nate enough to get his international cap for Scotch match, lie played for England again3* Wales in 1892, and with distinct success. 119 also played well against Ireland in 1893 ,t..11d got England's one goal against Wales «,t the Queen's Club last March. For the Old west. ministers and the Corinthians ho ha* done excellent service during the lest feft ye?rs, and no eleven of late would have been fully representative of London without F^st- on tho bell end an excellent dribbler, 90 weu as a r^fe shot at goal, he is bound iio be dangerous at all times. On his day, there ? i'ew better forwa-rda in the South. S.

His place was at on" assured, and has never since been in do'jh1* So well did he play in the early part pf 18«>1 season that he was selected to represent El'? land against Ireland, and here, too. he acquit. ted himself so creditahly timt) he was furthef promoted to a place in the English team Scotland, the highest honour open to an EnS lish footballer. In this last ma^i he sho" to great advantage on the inside right, in this position he has few superiors. 1'hoUS^ a clever dribbler, he also passes with g1'6** judgment, and is, in addition, also a prePt1 safe shot.
