CRICKET. St. MARK'S V. JOE GRIFFITHS' ST. JUDE'S 3VLEVEN\—St. Mark's C.C. took on what was practically the St. Jude's League XI. on Saturday last, and thanks t.) a well and vigorously hit -innings of 21 not out by C. Bromliam, their captain, and some capital bowling by Hill and Edwards, the latter a brother of the Rev. Edwards, suceoccled in winning by 63 points to 41. Thi., victory immediately following that over Manspit 'n reveals the fact that had St. Mark's entered the League they would have made a bold Jjid for the Shield.

SPORTS AT THE VETCH FIELD. The first autumn sports of the Mannesmann Cycling Club and Works were well attended at the Vetch Field on Saturday afternoon. A capital programme of sports had been arranged consisting of twelve events, the chief of which was the five miles club championship. The officials were Judge*, Messrs. C. Herbert, Gil Evans, R. N. Tulloch, L. W. Stewart, L. Price, and J. E. Beasley time-keeper, Mr. H. C. Smith starter, Mr. F. E. Xing handicappers, Flat Races, the Committee cycles, Mr. Gil Evans. N.C.U. During the after- noon the Plasruarl Brass Band rendered selections. 100 YARDS FLAT HANDICAP.—First heat 1, J. Davies (scratch) 2, W. Freethy (12 yards). Second heat 1, Gil Evans (6i yard-) 2, F. T. Clarke (lh yards). Third heat 1. D. Thomas (22 yards) 2, S. Roes, (4 yards). Fourth beat 1. R. Thomas (4^ yards) 2, Daniel Rees (1 yard.) Final heat 1, Gil Evans 2, D. Thomas 3, F. -Clarke. The smart manner in which Gil Evans won his heat pointed to his having more than an even chance of pulling of the final. This proved to be correct, for he parsed the tape an easy winner by two yards. Bob Thomas occupied the fifth position. Time, 10 1-5 sec. ONE MILE CYCLE HANDICAP.—First heat 1, E. Lloyd (95 yard-) 2, C. Potts (50 yards). Second heat 1, J. Reos (65 yards) 2, J. James (scratch). Third heat 1, D. J. Thomas (110 yards) 2, W. Norris (15 yards) 3, G. Davies 155 yards). Final heat 1, E. Lloyd 2, J. Rees 3, J. James. G. Davies, who had fallen in his heat, was permitted to start in the final. Catas- trouhies soon occurred, Davies, Norris, and another all falling. James caught up to the leaders on the last lap, but lacked tho necessary spit it to make that final dash which so often wins races. Had not this been so he would un- questionably have won as he was only a wheel off tha winner at the finish. 100 YARDS FLAT HANDICAP (Boys),-First heat 1, J. Hicks. 2, J. Price, 3, J. Hardee.

IT IS OFTEN ASKED. It is often asked, How is it that one single medicine like GWILYM EVANS' QUININE LITTERS, the Vegetable Tonic, is capable of curing so many different disease-, such as Nervous Diseases, Indigestion. Affections of thcCh."st, Liver Com- plaints, and tha like? The reply, however, is simple and convincing enough. Mo-t ^diseases have a common source, erther. 111 a ocranared stomach and ils connections, or in Yicalr and im- pure blood. GWILYM KVANS'S Qu f>.i>rk Rittero, by striking at the root of the evil, by strengthen- ing tho stomach and purifying the blood, mace these important life sources in proper working order, and the disease under whatever form it may have shown itself, disappears. See the name "Gwilym Evans on Stamp, Label and Bottle. This is important, as there are numerous imitations. It is sold in Bottles at 2s. 9J. and 4s. 6d. each.

CONTEMPORARY CHAT. "The details of the cost of a first-class battle. ship," remarked Sir William White to a Strand Mayazine interviewer, "may perhaps prove in- teresting. Let U3 take the Prince George. flera are the official figures, roundly. She was built at Portsmouth. The labour upon her hull cost £ 216,000; materials in the hull,including armour, .&445.CCO; propelling machinery, £ 90,000; gun- irountings and torpedo gear, £ 70,000; and armament, £ 70,000. Then you have stores, ammunition, and reserves so that by the time the ship is fully equipped you may say that the captain has charge of a million of money. A first-clas3 cruiser costs £450,000, a second-class about L250, COO, and a third-class about £130,000. A destroyer' of the latest type represents something like £ 60,000. All these figures are exclusive of armament;. The two well-known cruisers, Powerful and Terrible, are quite excep- tional. Each cost about £ 700,000, plus another £40,000 for the guns." These statistics, adds the interviewer, led me to 3Ek Sir William what he estimated the entire British Navy to be worth. "In 1813," he replied, "the Navy, exclusive of armament, might have been valued at abr-ut ten millions sterling. Its value to-day, according to Parliamentary returns, is sixty-cne millions, excluding small ships, steam tugs, and the like." More than two-thirds of the money value of the whole British Navy is represented in ships designed by Sir William White. Mark-lane and the Corn Market are in every- one's mouth just now, says London. The staff of life strikes at tho root of existence and interests all. Mark-lane is the great centre for buying and selling corn and grain, and fixing prices of flour. Just now the little lane, which is divided ma'nly between wine and spirit merchants and corn dealers, is unusually excited. The crowds in the Exchange are greater, and the competition keener. One does not have to make many inquiries about Mark-lane before one discovers that besides being narrow it is crooked. At least, the organisation of its greatest institu- tion is a mysterious labyrinth. The inquirer is apt to get a little mixed before he sifts its mysteries. To begin with, things look somewhat topsy-turvy, and you have to be reconciled to the fact that the old Exchange is the new one, and the new one is the old. They adjoin each other. There is yet another market-the flour market. There is no Exchange for flour, but- dealers meet in a small room off the new Ex- change,and Mr. Seth Taylor kperliaps the bigg^F' man in the business; has his stall in the new market. But the most interesting thing about flour is the way in which the price is fixed. Every Monday tho price of top-price flour is fixed by five self-elected representatives of the big millers. These five have a few words together at the closing of the Exchange, and Londoners are told what they will have to pay for flour. The prices of the two ordinary qualities of flour r known as "whites" and London housahold flour are settled by another body-the London Flour Millers' Association—which is a branch of the National Association of British and Irish Millcs On Mondays, at 3.30, a few representatives *of the association meet in a small office next door to the Exchange and settle the price of the ordi- nary flouis. they send a circular round to the trade notiiving the change in price. That is how they deal with the staff of life in Mark- lane. rive men whom nobody appoints, who are entirely irresponsible, fix the price which Londoners pay for their flour by a method which nobody underslands. Whatever the "top-pr:co flour' may be, there is no doubt that the Big rive are tip-top men in the trade, being the largcbt millers. The latest fashionable excuse for being late in getting to his office by the City clerk is a story to the effect that a motor-cab he hired had broken down, and it was some considerable time before he could procure another vehicle. It is alleged that every morning there are, in the vicinity of the Stock Exchange, considerably more explanations of the sort given to em- ployers than the total of licensed motor-cabs in London! The feud between cyclists on one side and police and magistrates on the other with regard to what the two latter call "furious riding "J gives special interest to an invention by a Camberwell resident. Wheelmen, in Surrey at least, complain that the police attribute pre- posterous pace to them, and the justices fine tlism, however respectable they may be, in spite of their denials. The invention referred to would decide between policeman and cyclist. It is fixed to the front wheel of the machine, and as soon as a particular speed is reached begins to ring the bell which forms part of it, and continues ringing it until the pace is sufficiently lowered. Supposing the cyclist lives in a country where ten miles an hour are allowed, he may get his alarum set accordingly. That none, he cannot alter it; therefore the authorities would probably be content with its evidence. Arrangements have been made to present the Err.pv.rcr of Japan, on his return to Tokio, with a 1al'g8 folio Bible in the English language. Tht- book, which most beautifully bound, will be accompanied by a suitable letter; and the gift. will lie made in the names of various British and American Bible Societies, which are jointly concerned in the publication of the Japanese Scriptures. A few years ago the Dowager Empress of Cliina was presented with a handsome Chinese Testament, on behalf of the Christians residing in that country, and the favourable reception she gave "to the representatives of the donors has suggested the presentation of the present gift. "Queenie" sounds more like a pet name for a little girl than anything else. But it also 1 appens to be- according to Bishop Tucker, who certainly ought to know—the name by which her Majesty is known in Uganda. To us, no doubt, it sounds disrespectful, but, for the matter of that, have we not made current coin of Mr. Kipling's "the Widow of Windsor ? Glasgow is a very enterprising city, but it has net yet adcpted the Free Libraries Act, and some of its civic rulers appear to hold quaint views upon the subject. In the ccurse of a discussion in the Town Council the other day, one of its members—the oldest member in the body— seriously advanced as an argument against the adoption of the Act the fact that he had only known one man derive benefit from the use of the existing Public Library, and that man learnt the art of illicit distillation by studying books there! A good deal of attention is likely to be directed this autumn to the large sums spent by the London School Board on administration and snpeivision, as distinct from school keeping and teaching. No less a sum than £78,000 a year is spent on the clerical staff at the office on the Embankment alone while £ 9,000 more goes for printing agendas and reports, £ 1,500 for sta- tionory. Cl. (jOO for postage, £1,700 for furniture and repairs, and £1,400 for cleaning. In addi- tion, £ 12,000 is spent on clerical salaries and work at the divisional offices, and £27,000 goes as payments to inspectors and instructors. There is an army of live hundred and twenty-seven officials at the head office alone, and there are one hundred and fifteen inspectors and in- structors employed to visit the schools. In this statement no account has been taken of the number or cost of the officers employed in com- pelling th2 attendance of children. TbATrftiqrders pride themselves, and with f ion or the humanity with which they treat their'iDoer" According to a Foreign Office repoit ri^ed thev never send their old pauper to be -excepting the*bedridden and the insane-mto workhouses or institutions of anj in^ m they rcceive then? into their own homes as visitors. Once a year the authorities draw up a list of tha inhabitants who are wealthy en< to contribute to the support of the poor; tb"r- instead of calling upon them to pay a rate, they allot to them a ceitain number cf men or women whom they must provide with uoatd and lodging.

FASHION NOTES. By MESSRS. BEN EVANS & Co., LTD., SWANSEA. Petticoats piny an important part in the different season's fashions, for it i-; more likely that a skirt will hang smartly and evenly if the under jujie is modelled on the right principle. This autumn our petticoats-a c cording to the make of of the new frocks-will have to fit very j closely round the hips and stand out round the hem and also at the back, thus in a way, suggest- ing a dress improver. The newest Paris petticoat model has a broad flounce at the hem, and a series of full but narrow ones right up the back-breadth. Over this garment the dress stands out beautifully at the back. As to the materials the most season- able, a first-rate moiretie, the favourite matetial for skirt-linings, may be recommended for a strong autumn petticoat, which will last the wearer quite throughout the winter. All the frills can be made of some stout silk or brocade, tho most advisable colours being black or da:k slate. Many ladies will, no doubt, boldly adopt the short horsehair dresa improver, which is being rapidly turned out by the various manufac- turers. We give this week an illustration of the new Russian Blouse Costume, made of mouse-coloured faced cloth, trimmed with appliques of white cloth, which are handsomely braided with gold and silver cord a jewelled belt holds in the ful- ness at the waist. The hat is of mouse-coloured straw, trimmed with dead-pink ostrich tips and bows of ribbon. The mode of veiling coloured silk or satin slips with lace or spotted net in no way abates. An American beauty at Ostend has in her season's outfit a Casino" gown quite worth a. note or so. Black poiuie d'exprit veils an underskirt of sky- blue glace, and round the hem of the spotted net is a fuli pinked out niching of the same siik. Small inches ornament the bodice from throat to waist, which is tied in with a wide sash of similar coloured libbon. Amongst the autumn wraps is the so-called "Country Dame" mantle, which reaches below the knees, and is fashioned in plaid laiiKUje with a plain facing. Thete are no orna- mentations Oil it whatever, wiih the exception of a double row cf buttons to so far as the bast-line. The shape will probably be copied in other materials. Indeed, there are fashion rumours respecting the revival of rich black satin, lined with sable, for the fashioning of some of these cloaks. Silk frills, flutings and accordeon-pleatings play an important part on the newest hats. Such trimmings come in extremely handy these September days, when the uncertainty of the weather often makes handsome foathev* nml flowers look quite out of place Besides possess- ing tho quality o utility, this style of ornamenta- tion is essentially qmefc and lady-lil.-e TI P accompanying sketch represents a verv and effective style of head-gear, named the Waldeck," made m felt and trimmed with corded ribbon and silk pom-poms. They are bein"' shown in black and colours, it is anticipated t; at°as the season advances this hat will be very popular and in strong demand. The autumn trade having now fairly started, new and fashionable goods are bi mg' di>playr<l m all departments. Some really choice and tti iking models are being hown in the costumes, mantles ami millinery. Li Hung Chang's visit to England is said to have had the most beneficial effect on the destinies of women in China. Since his return he has appointed the first Chinese lady practicing mcdicino in her own land to he physician to the women of his household. Two delegates. Miss Wang and Dr. Eng-, are to represent the Celestial Empire at the Women's Congress in London in 1898. The latter is the dauahter of a mandarin who was converted to Christianity and graduated in an American University and she obtained the degree of Doctor of Medicine at the Women's Medical College, Philadelphia Mie has been so successful in the heahng ait that she is now known as the Miracle Lady. Hore is a batch of new early autumn gowns which illustrate exactly what is to be worn. A oreen-mottlcd cloth, the bodice trimmed with dark velvet, edged with ti e new Russian braid, which has a woollen pleat down the centre and a o-old inter-pleated edge at either side. Tho metal is not too glrrirg-a common fault. This is carried in stripes across a front of yellow, green, and dark-blue armnre silk, of a minute draper! brocade, drawn in tishtly at the wai-t with straps of velvet and gold filigree buttons. Too skirt is cut in tho new drum shape, straight at the side, showing a trimmed panel in which the gold is an important feature. Gubelines cloth in brown, mauve, and other colours is soft and suky with a shot corded ground, blaok horizontal cords, and black figures hore and there between the cords. This, with a jacket-bodice and braided front, edged with golden beaver, makes a singularly handsome dress. A tea-gown of blue armuro. tho brocade white-, outlined with black, made with a Watteau pleat and an ivory sutin plis.-e front, with insertions of black lace run through at interva's, inched elbow sleeves, a very large collar of satin with black insertion, is simple but mo-t styli.-h. Mohair is a fabric which has merits that cannot be ignored. Ilie thread is tough and wirv, ensuring good wear there is co fear that it will cither retain the dust or grease and it"is bein» brtught out in a Ion? range of beautiful colours and in a great variety of weaving. Some of the specimens resemble hengahne, while others are diagonally woven. They are no longer shot and i silky-looking, hut are dull and lustreless, though very pure in tone black is a great deal used, but rod is tho favouri'e shade. Both the skirts and bodices made in this material showing tucidnga that resemble cordings, for t'.ey aro always minute and are generally horizontal and not of oreat length so tbat the material flows out full below them. These tucking take the piacc of a voke on the full bo iices and curtail cue fulness km; Site aS„ covcreJ with tainted ,»!,«, | and very stylish dresse. tliej make Jet fibres largely on a nam Dor of new models which fiav« jusi. found their way from Par,s.

SOMETHING FOR YOUNG FOLKS. AFFECTION OF THE DOG. A few clays before the fall of Rohespierre, a revolutionary tribunal in one of the Departments of the north of France condemned to daatli an ancient magistrate and a most estimable man, as guilty of conspiracy. He had a water spaniel, ten or twelve vears old, of the small breed, which had been brought up by him, and bad never quitted him. Every day at the same hour the dog left the house, and went to the door of the pnscn. He was refused admittance, but he constantly passed an hour before it, and then returned. His fidelity at length won upon the porter, and he was one dav allowed to enter. The dog saw his master, and clung to him. It was difficult to separate them, but the gaoler forced him away, and the do, returned to his retreat. He came back the next morning, and every day, cnce (ach day, lie was admitted. He licked the band of bis friend looked him in the face, again licked his band' and went away of himself. When the day of sentence arrived, notwith- standing the crowd and the vigilan'ce of the guard, the dog penetrated the hall, and crouched between the legs of the unhappy man, whom he was about to lose for ever. The judges con- demned him; he was reconducted to the prison, mp and the dog from that time did not quit the door! The fatal hour arrives, the prison opens, the unfortunate man passes out; it is his dog'that receives him at the threshold. Ho clings to his hand—that hand which so soon must cease to pat his caressing head. He follows him; the axe falls, and the master dies; but the tenderness of the dog cannot cease. The body is carried away; the dog walks at its side; the earth receives it; he lays himself upon the grave, refuses nourishment, pines away, and dies. SOMETHING NEW. There's something new at our house I'm s'prised you didn't know it; It makes papa awful proud, although he hates to shew it. The thing i3 not so very big, but money couLln't buy it; If any fellow thinks it could, I'd like to see him try it. It's half a dozen things at once-a dove, a love, a flower; Mamma calls it a hundred names, and new ones every hour; It is a little music box with tunes for everv minute You haven't got one at your house, and so you are not in it. It puckers up its wea, wee mouth, as if it meant; to whistle, A gold mine weighed against it then were lighter than a thistle; papa said so the other night; I thought it sounded splendid. And said it to myself until I fell aslepp and end' d. Of course you've guessed it by this time- our gift that came from heaven—.

The Pioperty and General Purposes Committee reported A letter was read from the Bt)ard of Guardians s'atiug that they would want a frontage to Alexann:a-road of 80 feet for tiie proposed Union Offices. Jno Corporation have agreed to grant a lease for 99 yea is or laud having- U frontage of 60 feet, at a rental ot £ 33 per annum, una the Guardians desire to kllOW whet!:er the Town Council will kase to them the additional A) feet at a pro rata rent per annua;, and als, idlow tne U.iaulrms the option of renting, at a future tin e, a further frontage to Alexai:dra-road of 13 feet. This Comnllt ep recommends that the additional 20 feet be icasedothe Guardians, i.e., 80 feet at £ 40 per annum, and that they be informed that the T wn Council will be prepaied to comider any appiicati 'ti tlity may desire to make for fuither land.-An application by Mr. F.

Hughes and Son on behalf of tiie representatives of the late' Mi". John Dickson, respecting tho question of a substituted roadway for the existing 30 feet roadway alonrr tiie foreshore, and the Town Cleric was instructed to Inform Messrs. Hughes and Son that the Town Council would te prepared to favourably consider a p O.,osa! to exchange the existing 20 feet roadway for a roadway situate on land shewn on plan, a3 '.lie property of the London and North-Western llailwav, on the 1 inside of the Lilltl represented to belong to the repre- i sentatives of Mr John Dickson extending from P ixton- street to the West I'ier.—A letter was read from the Clerk to the Glamorgan County Asylum respecting the proposed expenditure on an Isolation Ho.-pital for j infections diseases which is, in the opinion of this it Committee, excessive, and the Mayor, the Chairman, and the Town Clerk were requested" t > confer with the Glamorgan County and the Cardiff Boroi'gli Authorities titer«o>i.—The f'l owing resolution, passed by the Swan- sea Ciianiher of Commerce, was submitted That this Ch mber desires 11 record i s appreciation of the kind- ness of the Mayor and Corpoiation of Swansea in i.fford- ing office accommodation for the Chamber in Adelaide- street for so many \ears at so moderate a rental, and begs to tender its best thanks for this assi.-tanee, and further for the u e of the Town Hail for the monthly meetings of the Cii unber." Alderman M. Tutton moved the adoption of the minutes of the Property and General Purposes Committee. In doing so he drew attention to the minute dealing w. tb the application of the Guardians for a piece of land in Al.xaudra-road, and said the original proposal was that 60 feet should he conceded at a rental of £30 per annum. An application was made for another 20 feet, and a promise of an additional 13 ft ct. The lc-covn- mendation of the su'o-commiite j was that in view of the application for more frontaae it was on'y reasonable that the Guardians should be askei to pay something approximate Lo what the Corporation gut for the other portions of the road, and that for 80 feet a rental of zC45 should he asked. He failed to see why tho Union should Sfet what they required at 10s. a toot. Witoi v.'u vi suusLiiurmg" road- ways between the Corporation and the represent- atives of the late Mr. John Dickson, Mr. Tutton said the committee Iud. considered the matter and were prepared to exchange. Mr. Skidmore seconded. Mr. W. Watkins disagreed that the Guardians should be asked to pay m. ro than £40. The matter had bean fully discussed, and it was thought by the committee that dealing- as tin y were'with a public body they would not be doing the best thing in asking the Guard ans to pay more than zC40 for the extra 20 feet a-kod for. Alderman Gwilym Morgan considered the road which it was proposed to take from the represent- atives of the late Mr. Dickson as being too near the sen. and that in the event of a storm the ratepayers might be involved in unnecessary eXjl™' David Davies moved that the minute in which it was propos dto increase the salary of Air Powell from £ 150 to £ l'7o be expunged. This was not the t:me to advance salaries. Mr. Giiffith Davies seconded, but the amend- ment was lost. i i f jt Mr David Davies asked for the names, winch were tak-n as feJows Against the am: ndment.

Mr, Griffith Davies moved that the minute in- creasing ti.e salary of Mr. Surridge be expunged. Mr. David Jenkins seconded, but the amend- ID en t v»- fis Aid Tuttcn said the additional frontage of 20ft Jn A lo'an Ira-road oujht to be let to the Guardians at -Cds'in-tead of £ 40 per a:.num.

Permission having been given, Mr Ae-on Thomas moved the r<??olut:on. He saï.1 Jw did not want to put anything in the will of the GuardianHe should like t) see them b'lil iin'1- on the land. At tho same tune, they! should "not bejoo generous. Ho hoped the! Guardians would not go away wita tho idea that the Council wished to extort more than was just from them. ■ Aid. Leeder seconded the resolution ia 1lio hope that thev should consider whether it was wiso to put anj' obstacles in the way of the Guardians' takiii"- tf.e site. His impression was that it was their dutv to get sonio such jjub'ie body—oven at a moderate renta_I-tobnud there and induce other pcple to build on tho intermediate spaces. "ftfr. Griffith Davies aske.'t that the matt-cr should bo referred back to the sub-committee to confer with the Cxuaroians. Mr. Aeron Thomas sad lie would accept an amendment to that eiiect in placo of his own. Mr. RocUe protes-ed against its being referred bad:, for the sake of a few shillings a year. It wa« losing time, and thiy wore lighting against their own interests. Mr. W111. Watkuis said lie did r.ot wish to let tho Corporation land under its value. Alderman Tutton had said they were not letting it to a con- tra"tor. Aid. Tutton I said a burgess or private 11 Mr" Watk'ns said ho questioned very much whether anv burgess woul i offer las, The exca- vatiom would cost a great deal. No one sug- gested 15s. at the committee, and they were nnatiiaious. Tin' Corporation shoul 1 have taken steps to let the land at its fan- value 15 years ago. He thought 10s. was quite sufficient. Aid. Tutton contended that the contour of the land inst fruited the needs of the Guardians. If they let that po.tioii for 10- they bade good-bye to the hope of gettting los. and J7s. 6 for the other portions, as they had been charging in other places. 1 Mr. Thomas Freeman supported t e mi u.e. which was ev. iitUiilv c-nfirue d.

He did n'jt Liniz it rig-ht to inore .se the suspense a count. The original account of £1,000 was ample for all purposes, and he would move that the minute be referred back to committee, lie did not like officio, s, however trustw. rthy they may be, to have the rig-it to use a discretion that should be used only by th Committee. In the absence of a sensible reply from Le learned vice-chairman, he would certainly press his amendment. Mr. David Jenkins seconded the amendment. Mr. F. Roeke, in reply, ta d the reason lor the i increase was that in t.ie past they k id been sign- ( ing almost open ciedits to tlLJ treasurer for the borough accountant, for the payment of tne 1 wages of the committees, &e. It was thought i better that Mr. Hoptcn should have a iarg-or ) amount put to his credit in the suspense accoun. t instead of having tne sheets signed as in the past. 1 t It would make things much clearer iu thj Coai i mittce. It was nut to enable the accountant to have 111 Jrü money in hand th in he ha. i at pr -sent. It wa< to give the committee a better grasp cf things, and it was a inaehbetter way tiia 1 i.av.ng open credits for larger amounti than were really wanted. i Mr. Aeron Thomas supported the minute, and s.tid, at the same time. no payments should be made by the accountant except tho-e that were aO>oiu:eiy necessary. The committee i should go into ad p.tyme.it. as far as possible. Mr. Rocke explained that the accounts Aid. Leedt-r referred to were discussed at the committee meeting. Aid. Leeder did not come in until the business was over, and yet he complained that these things had not teen brought before the committee. Alderman Lceder said the accounts he referred to had not be--n before the proper committee, and he defied Mr. RocKe to prove that they had. They had come before the Finance Committee iu 1 t..e usual slip-.s;iod, sneaking manner, and Ley 1 were sneaked through in that way a^ they had been for years. Tney had not been before the 1 Tramways Committee that incurred the expense. They v.ete put into the list of payments made out | of the Suspense Funi and then pushed through the Finance Committee. He was quite content to admit that he did not attend a morning linaoc-i committee as oiten as he s 101111 l.ke; but he protested against sneaking the accounts through in that lilr. Hocke: Alderman LeeJc-r is accusing the committee of being sncakish, and he ia judging 1 oihcjr people by iiuasell. Alderman Tutton thought the term was utterly uncalled lo. If Mr. Leeder h id auyt iing 01 that sort to complain of it was Lis absolute duty to attend tho committee and :L'(1 that IJotÜing of the kind was done. It was not right for him to come tuerc and apply such a term to men who were trying to do their best. He usked tout tho word should be withdrawn. The Mayor called upon Akleiman Leader to withdraw. Alderman Leeder 1 I am perfectly willing to admit it was too strong; but it was caused by my friend thy vice-chairman, who has a knack of annoying me, The amen ;ui3iit w as then put to the meeting. Alderman Leeder said that with the permission of tho Council, and after Mr. Roeke's lu id explanation, he saw his objeet, and as long as it wms understood ihit the accounts he had referred to went to the prop r committee before they were paid, hc would withdraw the amendment. Tho amendment was tlieu withdiawn. Aid.

Moreover, it wus important that the chairman and vict- chairman should have a thorough grasp of the business, and that cuuld only be obtained in such a conference. The minutes were then adopted.

He stated the death rate of Swansea was oniy 13 5. the fourth on tne list In zymotic diseases Swansea was the lowest, witn o3 per 1,000. This was satisfactory _CIt;tll''able t) the system and the officers. Mr. Freêmall described the statements regarding the o;. ster be;.s at the Mumble- whch had ap pes rod in some of the papers as not only unguarded, but iii'-orroct, and iikely to infiict injury upon an inipoitant- industry at the Mum; 1 s.

He wi lied to abide by the rule they had always recognised, that no alderman should be re- i ippoiutod w.t..out having faced his con- aii'uents.

He tha .keJ the gentlemen for naming Inm, and lie that at tile ciid of two YC nientbs, they would have no cause to [ regret it. The To An Clerk explained that the Council had no power to change the wards in the manner suggested. A vacant seat oa the al-lcrmanio bench was a vac ;:it scat for the whole town.
