It was alleged that the accused was actually seen in the shop on the night in question, and in the box he himself admitted that his brother wanted him to break into the pre mises, but he declined because he was in danger of losing an invalid's life pension he received after seven years' service with the South Wales Borderers.

SATURDAY. Glamorgan Assizes entered on the fifth day at Swansea on Saturday. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Kennedy.) "MUSi BE HIS FATE." For the theft of 8s. from the person of Annie Elizabeth James, on July 2nd, at Cardiff, David Jenkins, a young labourer, was sent to 12 months' imprisonment with hard labour.—Prisoner, who pleaded guilty, had had six previous convictions, and the judge said that if he were again charged penal servitude must be his fate. ALLEGED RAPE. p Nathaniel Owen (on bail), a tidy-looking ycung collier, was charged with a rape upon Alary Jane Evans, a young and delicate girl, 18 years of age, living at Merthyr. Mr. Kelly appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. B. F. Williams, K.C., M.P., defended. It was alleged that after the offence was com- mitted prosecutrix cried, whereupon prisoner promised to marry her if anything was the matter. The jury, after a retirement, iouna pri- soner not guilty, and he was discharged. SWANSEA MANSLAUGHTER CASE. Enza Hannah Keest and Sarah Keest, both Jon bail, were formally indicted on the cor- oner's warrant for the manslaughter of the infant child of the first named defendant. Mr. Arthur Lewis, for the prosecution, of- fered no evidence on behalf of the Crown, and the jury, by the direction of the judge, returned a verdict of not guilty, and defen- dants were discharged. This is the case where the child died as a result of improper feeding. AN OLD HAND. John Pardoe Thomas (35), alais "John Wright," miner, admitted the theft of a sil- ver watch and gold chain, the property of Wm. White, at Penarth, and also with ob- taining food and lodgings by false pretences from Charles Whitchurch at Bridgend, in which case prisoner represented he was a tester in the employ of the National Tele- phone Company. Ten previous convictions were recorded, including two sentences of three years' penal servitude, and he was now sent back to penal servitude for three years and six months' imprisonment, for the two offences, the sentences to run concur- reritiy. Prisoner had earned 218 days' re- ,mission from his last sentence, and this he will have to serve in addition. Addressing the judge, prisoner said he was given no chance, being always sent to penal- servi- tude, and alleged that in prison they tried to murder him by keeping him for 100 days on bread and water. "I am a Welshman,' and they send me to another country to punish me," prisoner was proceeding, when his lord- ship stopped him and said he was willing to help him, but he could lY"- hear speeches relating to the past. Prisoner, who looked very pale, was then removed. ON THE BORDERLAND. Saying, "Yes I'll do it," James Brother- idge (32), stoker, on July 2nd last deliber- ately put his foot through the plate-glass window of Messrs. Eastman, Ltd., Porth, doing damage to the amount of £ 10. To a police constable he said that he was so miser- able that he broke the window in a fit of passion. Prisoner was now charged with the offence, but he wa.s said to be on the borderland between insanity and sanity.— Prisoner was sent to gaol for six months in the second division. A POINT OF LAW. ,n, Dock child neglect case in which Ellen Hale had been found guilty and sentence deferred, a point of law was raised that the presence of the child in court was necessary. His loraship personally took a negative view, but decided to state a case which will probably come on after the long vacation, accused to 1,, on bail meanwhile ALLEGED PERJURY. Jose Touro (24), seaman (on bail) was in- dicted for wilful and corrupt nerjury alleged to have been committed during his'evidence at the Cardiff Borough Sessions upon the hearing of a certain indictment against one Felix Dasi in April last. Mr. St. John Francis Williams prosecuted and Mr. Roland Vaughan Williams defended. The case for the prosecution was that in consequence of certain assault proceedings the prisoner subsequently swore falsely that prosecutor, Felix Dasi, had stolen two bicycle tyres and inner tubes that had in fact been borrowed and then returned the Sessions Court finding Dasi not guilty.' The jury acquitted the prisoner.

MONDAY. CROWN COURT. Before Mr Justice Kennedy. TWO YEARS' IMPRISONMENT. For setting lire to a rick of hay, valued at JE50, at Trealaw, Thomas Emmanuel (26), collier, was sentenced to two years' impris- onment. INDICTMENT WITHDRAWN. Pilar Garcia boarding-house keeper, Car- diff, surrendered on a charge of perjury, alleged to have bee-i committed under simi- lar circumstances to those in which Jose Jonro was on Saturday found not guilty. His Lordship suggested that the charge should be withdrawn, and this course was adopted. NOT PROVEN. Thomas Richard Hughes (26) was found not guilty of stealing a pay ticket, value .08 18s., from a fellow-collisr at Merthyr Tydfil. I SOLE IDEA OF AAOLIDAY. David John Jones (21), labourer; Isaac Hughes (26), labourer; and Thomas Rees (26), labourer, were acquitted of a charge of robbing with violence at Merthyr. Evi- dence showed that prosecutor was so drunk as to be unable to identify his assailants, and the judge told him he was one of those v;ietched creatures whose sole idea af a holiday was in getting drunk. YOUNG LABOURER SENT TO GAOL. Owen Gowan (17), labourer, was found guilty of an indecent assault upon Agnes Jones, five years of age, at Cardiff, and was sent to prison for 13 months with hard la- bour. SAVED HIS PENSION.

ABERGWNFI TEMPERANCE MEN Publican Claims Damages for Libel Verdict for Plaintiff: One Farthing Damages, At G1 3 morgan Assizes on Tuesday (before Justice IVIills and a special jury), a claim for libel was brought by Mr. Wm. Henry Brown, Tunnel Hotel, Abergwynfi, and Mr. D. Da- vies, of the Great Western Hotel, Blaen- ywynfi, against Mr. Moses Davies and Rev. Benjamin Davies, Baptist minister, members of the Abergwynfi Temperance Committee. Defendants pleaded a denial of the publica- tion, and if they were were privileged and fair comment. Mr. B. F. Williams, K.C. and Mr. Ivor Bowen (instructed by Mr. Jestyn Jeffreys, Neath) appeared for plaintitFs, and Mr. S. T. Evans, K.C., M.P., and Mr. LI. Williams (instructed by Mr. T. Millward, Pentre) for the defendants. Mr. B F. Williams said the two plaintiffs were licensed victuallers and on the occa- sion of the Glyncorrwg Council election in March plaintiffs were candidates. Defen- dants v/ere members of the Abergwynfi Tem- perance Committee and a circular was issued signed by Mr Moses Davies (secretary) which contained the-valleged libel. Mr. "Wil- liams read the circular, which stated that the Temperance Committee on March 13th passed a resolution "viewing with anxiety and alarm the appearance of two publicans, members of the trade, and upholders of the drink traffic, the curse of our countrv and the ruin of our nation. We do hereby call upon all the elector, men an dwonien, to lovers of morality and humanity, to do their utmost to oppose the return of the public- ans, men whc live upon the degradation oi the people and pose as their friends." This latter statement was the libel complained of. The circular proceeded to state that it was a critical moment in the history of Aber- gwynfj. "The reputation of the^place is in the balance, and vcur votes on Monday next will settle its destiny and character for many years to come Strike a blow which will vanquish your most deadly foe—the demon drink. The only way to do this effectually is to return the two old members. Re- member every vote given to the publicans will be a vote to the Boar alcohol." Mr. Wil- liams said 1.000 of the circulars were printed and 500 circulated. No man, whatever his motive, was entitled to use language of that sort and say that men live upon the degrada- tion of the neople and nose as their friends. The plaintiffs do not want to make money out of the action Thev had been prepared to ac- cept an anologv at the, hands of the defen- dants, and they were prepared to accept one now for the statement which could not be justified and which defendants did not seek to justify on the record. This concluded plaintiff's case, no wit- nesses boine called- Mr. c3. T. FNans said it was somewhat re- markable that plaintiff had not been called. The defendants made no imputation upon the plaintiffs as individuals and the circular was directed against the drink traffic as such. Mr. W. H. Brown was then called by the defence. He said the attack was one upon his character. Mr. Evans: And yet you wanted to clear it by sitting down. Plaintiff: I left it to mv counsel. Pi oceeding, plaintiff said he was presi- dent of the Aberavon and Port Talbot Li- censed Victuallers' Association, but that association was not affiliated with the Na- tional Defence League. Plaintiff was not satisfied with the defendant's statements that the attack was not a personal one. Plaintiff was a teetotaller and tcmperan :e advocate 30 years ago, and he addressed meetings. Mr. Evans: You expiate all that by say- ing it was 30 years ago. Mr. Justice Wills. You are cider and wiser. (Laughter.) Plaintiff said commercials stayed at his house before the circular was issued. His barrelage last week wa,s 70 gallons a day. Mr. Evans Do you think this trade cre- ditable'/ Plaintiff: Yes, certainly. And no degrading innuence?—The abuse of it has. Have you been bankrupt?—Yes, onoe, and I have paid 20s. in the £ and 4 per cent. interest. 1 laintiff said at one time he kept the George Hotel, Mumbles, and had peen fined for^ selling during prohibited hours. He haa been fined since then—Mr. Evans put- ting specific cases. He, however, iaid he did not remember being fined for permitting drunkenness. In answer to Mr. Williams, plaintiff said he had kept the Tunnel for five yearti, and had never had the slightest complaint. The bankruptcy was now annulled. The circu- lar was most damaging. "They could not say any more than if I lived on the immor- ality of my family." he added. Rev. Benjamin Davies, one of the defend- ants, a Baptist minister, Abergwynfi, for nearly eight years, said when he went. there I a publican was guardian, and the relieving officer distributed relief at a public-house. Hie registrar of births and deaths attended there; ground rents were paid there, the Chamber of Trade met there also; and in consequence a temperance committee was formed, a public hall was built, and was used instead of a public-house. Defendant had no personal animosity against the plain iius, against whom there was no personal attack. Defendant framed the circular. In croas-ezamination defendant said he did not want the publicans to be honoured hv ejection to the District Council. "His Lordship: He. means it in the sense that a man was elected to Parliament the trade would be honoured. Mr. Williams: I think Parliament would be hoooured. (Loud laughter.) (To the r defendant): Are the plaintiffs respectable? Defendant: I won't say they are clisres- I epeetable. What do you moan by respect- able? A man who conducts himself properly as a good and loyal subject—good citizen, who honours the King. Do you mean to say you do not know what a respectable man is?--It nil depends upon the definition who honours the King. Do you mean to say vou do not know what a respectable man is?--It nil depends upon the definition of respectability. His Lordship Perhaps he accepts the celebrated dehmtion—"A man who keeps a gig." (Laughter.) Defendant said he was not acquainted v,ith Mr. Brown to the extant that he could say whether he was respectable or not. Th., circular was directed against the trade, and if he could have suggested anything stron- ger he would have delle so. Mr. Moses Davies, one of the defendants a collier and secretary of the Temperain Committee, said he had no personal animos- ity against the plaintiffs, and he had told ihcm so. Cross-examined: Could you have said anything stronger if you had personal ani iv.ositjr ? Defendant: No. William Edwards, the printer, wa.s called as a matter of form. Mr. S. T. Evans said one would have thought that the plaintiffs would only have been too willing to go into the box in sup- port of their case. Defendants submitted they were right in their attitude, and conse- quently there was nothing to apologise for or withdraw. The National Defence League, of which Mr. Brown had been a member, had for its policy the returning of people eornierkd v.ith the trade to not merely Parliamentary politics, but on to local bodies. It was a matter of common knowledge they were sent there not for the purpose of protecting the general interests of the public, but for the purpose of pro- tecting thefr own trade. íir. Brown had explained that he was not responsible for the conviction, but his mother. That Would not hold good, as offences had taken place when Mr. Brown was in the house. Mr. Evans contended the defendants performed what they considered a solemn duty. At the conclusion (here was slight ap- plause in the galiery. which his Lcrdship rt oflfe r'prrssed and threatened to have the galley cleared. Mr. B. F. Williams said he had proved the publication of the libel, and it was un- necessary to put his clic ut into the box. He contended the defendants had shown malig- nity and vindictiveness, and instead of call- ing plaintiffs to ask them what they thought of the libel, he would ask the jurv. Zeal in a good cause was an excellent thing, but there could be abuse of that. Evans, he contended, had endeavoured to magnify the quantity of drink by putting n the gallons into pints, but they forgot to mention the number of colliers that went there. There was a good deal of idle non- sense talked by fanatical people, said Mr. Williams after pointing to the defendants, whom he described as "the generous Benja- min and the energetic Moses." (Lcud laughter.) His Lordship said they must allow the widest limit to public acts of public men, but the jury must decide whether the pre- sent case fell within the line of legitimate and fair comment on a puLlic matter. As regards drink, his experience in the crim- inal courts, having seen the effects of ex- | cess, led him often to think that it was a pity any such thing had been permitted to exist. (Slight applause.) If the jury awarded damages they must make allow- ance for the warmth of feeling in a good cause. Ic was impossisble to throw out of the case tie cross exairiiation, which raked up events of 13 or 14 years ago. Such an action was eminently uncharitable, and he regretted it should have come from a min- ister of the gospel, who, of all others, should fet an example of Christian charity to his neighbours, whether they be publicans or' anyone else. Christian charity was expect- eci at least from a minister. The jury, after considering in private, returned a verdict for plaintiffs, id. dam- 4 ages in each case. Mr. S. T. Evans referred to the damages as contemptuous, and asked the judge not to allow costs. Neither of the plaintiffs had gone into the box to give evidence as to the damage sustained. His Lordship said he would decide that point in the morning. At the election referred to in the case the old members were returned, the plaintiffs in the action being defeated.

SWANSEA BANK HOLIDAY. Huge Crowds in the Town. I Swansea was in complete Bank Holiday garb on Mcnday. The weather was simply glorious, and this, combined with TO end of attractions, resulted in a great influx of ex- cursionists from far and near. S-eldom, if ever, have io many people been seen in the town on a Bank Holiday. Throughout the day crowds streamed off to the Mumbles, till at length both Bracelet and Langland Bays were alive with humanity, some indulging in dips in the briny, others discussing Mumbles ivsters, and many more seeking cut the i;iady nooks for the double purpose of en- )ying the sea breezes snd a quiet tete-a-tete. hough thousands availed themselves of the ••pocial train service arranged by Mr. David james, yet not only were the Sands crowded, but througnout the day the leading thorough- fares of the town were thronged with people, while at the same time the singing contest in the Market, the sports at the Cricket Field, and the Hospital Fete and Gala at the Vic- toria Park were, with the exception of the I last-named, well patronised. The coun tor attractions proved too irresistible for the effort got up by Mr. Henry Siudt for the benefit of the institution on St. Helen's-road. Weather more doubtful than that which pre- vailed on Monday would probably have suited this fete better. In the evening the theatres rnd the Empire were crowded, and at length, tired out for the most part, the trippers left for their various homes, having soent an enjoyable Bank Holiday. SWANSEA HOSPITAL FETE AND GALA A splendid programme had been arranged for tho .Swansea Hospital Fete and Gala at the Victoria Park (which was continued on Tuesday), but what with the fine weather that had the effect of inducing people to go to the Mumbles and Gower, and the counter attractions in the town, the patronage afforded as not the. most encouraging. Those who, however, included this amongst the day's enjoyments were not disappointed in the bill of fare, which, if net particularly new, was certainly very good. Mirzalli, for the first time in Wales, performed the diffi- cult task of riding a bicycle up and down a spiral column 50 feet in height. He did the feat successfully on several occasions, but during the, afternoon, owing to a punctured front wheel, had a narrow escape. Then Alf Levarus, cts the comic midshipman, had at. eccentric performance on the electric silver wire, while Don Pedro, now a favourite with Swansea people, again showed much daring on the high wire. The Cee Mce Family of flying trapese artistes, and the four 0. V. Es- tre'ios in a number of acrobatic feats done very gracefully, elicited general admiration, as did also Geo. WTirson, as a wonderful hand balancer, and pvramid and chai.* and stair- case performer; the Sisters Etherdo on tho unsupported rocking 'adders, and Mons. and Madame Balizens and Pei No, in a number of juggling, balancing, top-spinning perform- ances," etc. Mdlle. Roza's performing dogs; Mons. Martino, the tramp cyclist; the Rozells on the triple horizontal bars. and last but not least Messrs. H. Studt and Son, with their Venetian gondolas and zoological round- about to say nothing of no end of minor side shows, were also among the items in a bur programme. In addition the celebrated Trebanos Band played selections, and at night there was a display of fireworks by Messrs Joseph Wells and Co., London. Air. Studt, who had arranged the fete and gala, was as- sisted at the park by many of the Hospital Committee, including Col. LI. Morgan, Miss Dillwyn, Hev. John Pollock, Messrs. H. Goldberg, Henry Macdonnel, Evan Jenkins, David Meager, H. G. Solomon, and W. D. Hughes (secretary). SUCCESSFUL EVENT AT NEATH, Attractive and well-patronised sports were held under the auspices of the Neath Foot- ball Club and Athletic Association on Gnoll Park Grounds, Neath, on Bank Holiday. Mr. J. E. Jones was the starter, and Mr. Ted Lewis, Pontypridd, and Mr. Tom Wil- liams, Llwynypia, were the handicappers. Mr. A..L. David was hon. secretary. The following were the chief events:- 120 Yards Handicap (Neath Borough poUce).— P.C. W. B. Thomas; 2, P.C. Morgan: 3, P.C. Collins. One Mile Cycle Race.-1, W. Davies, Gwauncaegurwen, 50vds. 2, W. H.

Glorious weather favoured the annual athletic sports of the Swansea Amateur Ath- letic and Cycling Club at the Swansea Cricket Ground on Monday, and the entries being numerous and the interest ia the events keen, a good day's sport was seen. There were several Welsh championships decided, the 100 yards flat championship being carried off by J. Austin Miller, of London, in 10 1-5 seconds, and the 440 Welsh championship by a Swansea lad named A. M. J. Griffiths, in 53 4-5 seconds. The other sensational finish was that of young R. W. G. Corfield. Swan- sea, in the 440 handicap open, when he de- feated the winner of the Welsh championship and conceded .start. The hurdle Welsh cham- pionship was disappointing in that there were only about three entries, and in the final there was only D.W. Walters to finish, as Paddison, of Holborn, London, fell. From all points of view the day's programme was capitally arranged. Some of the competi- tors complained of the events being run off with t-co much speed, but the committee, in order to keep the events to time, are not ex- pected. to foresee and deal with such com- plaints. Arrangments were capitally carried out by a staff of officials of the club, and they include the following:—Judges (champion- ships and walking) MesA-s. A. J. Davies, A.A.A., Cardiff; E. A.

Mr. Joshua Jones' Estate. In King's Bench Division on Tuesday !«*r- As-hton mentioned the case of Jon« v. Flower, tried last week, in which there was an alleged slander of title in respect wt an estate in New Zealand, of which Mr. Jonas had a concession. The parties had come to a settlement, one of the terms of which was that tin action brought by Mr. Jones should be d>ttti<jsed ti costs. ivir. Ashton said that his lordship hid said t.hët fto* defendants ought to make some eonce?stt.n tc the plaintiff. The wu def-n- dar>«. Mr Flower and Mr. Hopkuioon, hu-> ma^e tho ccxcession.

CAR OFF THE RAILS. Atacmin gr Accident on the Mumbles Line. An atacmkig occurrence took place on the Swansea and Mumbles Railway on Monday night, and might easily have resulted in raost tecrible consequences. The line wea- ther had brought to Swansea and the Mum- bies a record number of visitors for a Bank Holiday, and thcxifaods of these were satety conveyed over the railway during the day without mishap of any kind. Indeed, the line, considering the very heavy passenger traffic at times, lias enjoyed a remarkable immunity troni accidents for many years past. Crowded as were the cars on the outward journey, the pressure was even greater in the evening when the people re- turned. The 9 p.m. train from the Mum- bles started with a big crowd of passengers, and had an engine m front and at the rear. All went well till Norton-road was being reached, and then the last car, which was coupled to the rear engine, left the rails by some means or other. The tram was fortunately going dead slow at the time, and was promptly pulled up, though not until the occupants of the car had an ex- citing experience. The car for some few yards swerved to and fro, and threatened at any moment to overturn. It was an or- dinary workman's car, and this was a lucky circumstance, for no passengers could ride cm the outside. The inside passengers had a severe shaking, and might have been seriously injured had the car overturned. Happily the footboards prevented this, and when it was brought to a standstill the oc- cupants got out, most of them none the worse for their experience. Two persons-- Waiter Watkins, of Jiangyte-lach-street, and Mrs. Wingrove, of Courtney-street, Manselton—sustained slight injuries, prob- ably through the glass iu car being bro- ken while it is stated that Morris Rich- ards, Greenhiii, Swansea, was trampled upon by the excited passengers as they passed out of the tilted car. The accident necessarily caused an awkward d,4ay in the traffic. The train in question, with the exception of the car and another that was coupled to it, was taken on to Swansea, many of the passengers in front not know- ing dearly what had happened, while the majority were soon spreading the wildest rumours abroad. It was even said that the car had been overturned into the sea—which might have been the case had it not, as a fact, tilted towards the roadside. From now onwards till about midnight all traffic from the pier to Norton-road was stopped, and passengers desirous of returning were put to the little inconvenience of having to walk to Norton-road and then proceed by the trains which were dispatched as promptly as the circumstances would per- mit. Meantime, Mr. David James, the manager, had given instructions to keep a late service of cars on the Morriston section. Naturally there was some excitement both at Swansea and the Mumbles over the acci- dent, but towards midnight the car in ques- tion was, under the superintendence of Mr. John Recs, chief inspector, lifted on to the rails and the ordinal v traffic resumed. STATEMENT BY THE MANAGER. Mr. David James, manager, seen by a "Post" reporter, bore out the general facts already related. "It is not correct to say," he added, "^iat the car overturned. It lay at an angle.* "Tilted, yoot mean?" "Certainly; the wheels on one side got embedded in the earth. The car could not have overturned, for there is only one door, and that on the roadside, and when the car was brought to a standstill the pas- sengers got out, which they could not have done if the car had overturned." Mr. James agreed that the consequences might have been serious if it had been an ordinary car with passeng ;rs on the out- side. As it was, he had only received two complaints, and these very slight. Have you ascertained the cause of the accident, Mr. James?" "Jumping the points, I think." "You do not think it was because the train was a long one?" "Oh, no; the length was not unusual." "Of course, it was fortunate the train tvas going df^td slow at the time?" "Yes, it was." Mr. James added that Mrs. Wingrove was suffering, according to the doctor's report, from shock. She proceeded to her home during the night. ANOTHER ACCOUNT: EXTRAORDIN- ARY SCENE. Another report says —To deal with the heavy freight an auxiliary engme was re- quisitioned for negociating the slight gra- dient after passing the Oyetermouth Station to Norton-road, one engine being in front and another behind. No passengers were picked up at Ovstermouth-road, and the train went through, and was passing pomts at the spot referred to when one of the cars a workman's car— containing about 100 persons, was seen to oscillate violently and then turn over somewhat in the direction of the road. The driver of the "trailing" locomotive seeing the danger, with great presence of mind reversed his engine and averted a disaster by stopping the train. The screams of women and children were, heartrending, and the scene was one of wild confusion. What really happened, accord- in" to eye-witnesses, was that one of the cars missed the points and was dragged for about 50 vards, but the side did not, fortu- nately, touch the ground. Those who were in the aforesaid car were thrown out on to the line. There were a dozen people more or less injured, but none seriously. An old lady was sent home in a cab from Mansel- ton" suffering from cuts from broken glass and shock. She had a child with her that escaped miraculausiy. Others were treated locally and sent home. The traffic was blocked for a time, and it "was after t^n o'clock before the 9.10 train got to Swansea. In the meantnme passengers front the Mum- bles had to join the trains at Norton-road Levond the &pot where the 1rack was tern up: A gang of men were set to work, and the last trains were able to be safely run.

Danger from Submerged Rocks. Mr. F. H. Glynn Price held an inquest at Mumbles Police Station on Monday touch- ing the death of John .Alexander (23), col- lier, Brynamman, who was drowned whilst bathing in Bracelet Bay on Sunday. Rees Alexander, Glynhendy-road, Bryn- amman, brother, identified the body. He said deceased left home on Sunday. He (deceased) was the principal support of an aged mother. Samuel Booth, who was washed off the rocks at the same time the deceased, gave evidence to the effect that all at once he missed his companion, who appeared to sink liko a log. The deceased was one of a party of young fellows from Brynamman, and they had original1 y intended to have gone to Ilfracombe and not to Bracelet. De- ceased was anxious when they got to Brace- let to bathe despite attempts m^de to dis- suade him. As he insisted witness and others went in with him. Thomas Daniels proved finding the body about 2.30 on Monday morning at the rocks a few yards away from the spot where de- ceased sank. There were two nasty cuts between both eyes. The jurymen, who discussed these injur- ies, came to the conclusion that deceased must have slipped or was washed off the rocks and his head struck a jagged projec- tion and rendered him unconscious, and he was drowned. A verdict of "Found drowned" was re- turned, and the jury added a rider that the attention of the local authorities ehould be directed to the absence of a notice board warning bathers of the danger from the sub- merged rocks. FURTHER NARROW ESCAPES AT LAN<*LAND. Disregard of the warning of boatmen em- ployed by the Miunbles District Council against young bathers venturing at differ- ¡ ent stages of the tide at Langland nearly cost two young men their lives on Monday I afternoon. They undressed and went out for a bathe, when a strong back current carried them away. William Thomas, boatman, put out and rescued the men. Another rescue is reported as having oc- curred earlier in the day, when William Webborn, who is always on duty at Lang- land, pulled a ma.n out of the water only just in time. J

BY "(Ha) ATHLETE." # Swansea Firsts Nearly Beaten. Fine Stand by Notman Riches. Cardiff Seconds Ignominious Collapse. Swansea, Premiers entertained Cardiff on Saturday preceding the Bank Holidays. In the fir.3t encounter the homesters won with ea.s.e. and in the second match the best Car- diff oould make was a draw. Unfortunate- ly, Swansea f-aaled to place a representative team in the field on this occasion, a.nd in the result the game ended in a draw to the locals' advantage. Oinly 63 was made for 9 wickets, whilst Cardiff, thanks to a fine innings of 76 not out, by Norman Bi-cheis drew stumps for 163. Against Swa/neea Seconds, weakened as the latter were through the unavoidable absence of many of their men with their Firsts, Oardiff Seoonds made a. most miserable show. There were five ducks, only one player-B. Maher, with 17—got into double figures, and the Swamsea men made 182, J. A. Davies being the hero of the match with his score of 73. Hill and McLaren carried off chief honours in the bowling department. Swansea Thirds played a League match with 81,. Jnde's, and ran away with them to the tune of 122 runs to 22. Oa.rdiff -won the tosis against (S.waM&ea Firsts, and sent in their side first to bat. Etches and Whittington opened unpromis- ingly, Whittington feeing caught off Gill when the soofe st-Md at 11, and Letcher suc- cumbed to the same bowler for a duck. Three wickets were down for 28 runs, but on the resumption after luncheon runs began to come fn.Pt and furious to Riches. Gibson was smartly stumped by Thissen off Creber for 14. amd Cording, who made seven runs more than the last man's total, was caught by Bancroft off Johnson, a-fter some vigor- ous batting. In three quarters of an hour from the interval Cardiff had made their century. Neither Creasy, Hill, nor Poole proved very valuable assist-ante to Etc hep, u" ^ado.ga.n, before he was caught by G. L. ihoruas off Gill, had made 19. had by no meaais a formidable total to overtop when ihev took the field. But they reckoned without the bowling of >' ash and Vernon Hill. A rot ^+ in immediately. Gill and Stanley Rees wont down for two rrr-, and by the time ,t;n-e tot-al had crept up to eighteen four wickats had been taken. Johnston was out to a catch from Hill, and Creber was 1-b-w t". Ma>sh: and Dan Thifwen only brought the score u pto 40 before he was emartlv taken ac the wicket off Hill. Nicholls and Dr. Came-o^ were partners with a quarter <}f an nour'e space, but contrived to defend their wickets until half-past six. thereby pulling the game out of the fire. Riches, it should be mentioned, gave no chance in hi# two and three-quarter hours' stand, and made eight 4's and four 3's. 7f ^Swansea Firsts did poorly against Car- diff Firsts, Cardiff Seconds simply collapsed before the Swansea junior eleven. ATda- eeer. Trew, J. Bancroft, and Dorrc-11 sub- stituted absentees with the Firts. Hill and Mcljarem took the bowling in hand, and swept the board. Seven stumps were drawn for 25. amd then the Swansea captain made for 25. amd then the Swansea captain made a sportsmanlike adjournment for half an hour's delay to await the arriTal of three < ardiff absentees, the brothers Colley and Lock. iThese added 14 runs, but could do no mere, and the game closed, for Cardiff for the paltry total of 39. Both Swansea's wicket-keeping a.nd fifielding were e-ceilent. The rest of the game was a mere procession of scores for Swansea. J. A. Davies made 33: Hazel 31. Syd. Curnow 25 not out, and J. Bancroft 11. The return match between Glamorgan and Wiltshire was played at Cardiff Arms Park in brilliant weather on Bank Holiday. Cre- ber was again in particularly fine form. and after half an hour's play had taken three wickets for just thirty runs. He earned talent money, and received the cus- tomary warm applause, and his bowling average at the conclusion of the match showed seven wickets taken for forty-five runs. Perkins (20), Overton <19), and Smith <1C). were the only three who could make I headway against Creber and Na.sh, and the Wiltshire innings closed for 93. However, the tables were reversed m the Glamorgan- shire innings, to a curiously similar ex- tent. Overton, Smich. and. Newman played "havoc with the men of Morganwg. nan- croft and Stanley Eees, who scored 24 and 17 respectively, were together with H. T. Morgan alone competent to resist the bowl- ing. and the Glamorgan innings closed for 90. iltehire in their second innings gave a much improved display. T. M. Perkins was responsible for an innings of 42 not out. and their t-otal for two wickets wa-s 63. The gate receipts, £ 69 108., established a record. Football poachers from the Xorth have met with no striking hauls during their annual tour in Bouth Wales. An agent from Warrington or T.eigh ha° captured two Car- diff men for £ff) down and £.3 a week sit,"a- t^on. 'vrcs to D. Dalies, of TJa-nelly. proved futile; and the eomaraderie of the .Swansea team remains invincible. An ac- count of the Llanelly Club's annual outing will be discovered elsewhere, from which it will be seen that Harry V. Wat kins has ac- cepted the captaincy, and that the club begins with a Tosy outlook. Regret is felt in ^Swansea football circles at the demise on Tulv o^th. of Mr. Dd. of l>nnr- gra-ig School, It. Thomas, one of the beet forwards in the team. The British Rugby team has departed, from Australia, for New Zealand, where, it is expected, a severe ordeal awaits their powers. They ha\e roughly speaking, score five tries to every one notched against them.

LLANELLY FOOTBALL CLUP, Annual Meeting: Rosy Finanda1 Outlook. The annual meeting of the Llanelly fnyc- bail Club was held at the Nevill Memo; :?! jiall on Friday evening, Mr. Gavin He' presiding over a large attendance of mtvi- bers. One oi the outstanding features of t iA meeting was the satisfactory balance-i?i presented by the treasurer (Mr. W :<"? Thomas). It showed that the heavy dcht which the club had been contending against for many years had now been reduced to £40, a result which was received with great cheering. The report of the hon. s j- retary (Mr. Ben Davies) showed that car- ing the past season 65 matches were played* of which 21 were won, four drawn, and ten lost. The points for were 379, and the points against 139. The most notable ac- hievement of the season was the double de- feat of Newport. The election of captain resulted in a unanimous vote being inveo Henry Watkins, the international forward. The following were elected on the com- mittee:—The Rev. S. B. Williams, Mos&rs. T. R. Mills, T. D. Miller, J. Lewis, rivtua Rees, Gavin Henry, and J. Walter Thomas. Mr. Ben Davies was re-elected hon. secre tary, and Mr. J. E. Jacksou was ejected hon. treasurer, in succession to Mr. V. alv,jr Thomas, who vacated the office. Th- fix- tures for the forthcoming season were read. They include a tour in the South of Ireland, matches having been arranged with "ork, Cork Constitution (to be played on St. rick's Day), and Limerick. The prosptsete ior the coming season are very bright. Several capabie young players will b* available, including Bailey Davies and ,m Auckland, and it u probable that the H«.-} £ way team, which won the South Wait* Challenge Cup last season, and which in- cludes several young players, will be drawrt Challenge Cup last season, and which in. cludes several young players, will be drawrt upon.
