WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 1896, I NOTES & COMMENTS The members oi the Swansea School Board brought off the autioipatod distri- bution of prizes yeeterdav. To avoid any blurtillg out of awkward Et iteuieiits in the presence of reporters, the latter wore dis-I creetly excluded. Publicity is a];t to be j embarrassing when appointments have to be made en other grounds than merit. In this particular instance, however, the (palificatious of the various candidates had been freely discussed beforehand in the press, and the public are, therefore, unusually well-informed on the subject. Hence the mischief of the secrecy was minimised, aud no serious objection can be offered to the manner in which a re-shuffle ull round was wade to conciliate conflicting claims. Pvut as a general tiling the prac- Lice of determining appointments is good for no one, save the memvers who desire to rush through candidates vhose creden- tials will not stand close .scrutiny. If the Board adopted the plan of setting out tl;o qualifications of each camli<!ate, a salu- tary che^k would be iriven to jobbery. But probably the majority ul the mem- bers do u Jfc wish for the check.

The St. Pagan's murder -emains a profound nuystery. If one may judge by the absurdity of some of the suggestions offered regarding the identity of tho murderer it is likely to remain so. It is to be hoped that the police have something more tangible to work upon than the idea that a lunatic who escaped from Bridgend committed the deed. The man seen walking away from the scene of the murder immediately after the tiring of the shots was dressed as a. ship's officer 01 engineer. Mrs. Woodward, wife of the former chief reporter of the" Western Mail," saw such a man loitering about the spot two hours earlier. Now newly escaped lunatics do not dress like ships' officers, and their equipment as inmates of an asylum does not include a Derringer revolver, with cartridges to match, nor could these have been stolen without some- one missing them. The circumstances point directly to a premeditated murder, the motive of which remains to be dis- covered.

We pub::sll to-day tiie full text of the fresh agreement made with the tramway company, It is not to be submitted to the council until the formal confirmation has been received from the directors. The agreement produces a better impression than disjointed parts presented as evidence of invisible concessions extracted from the company. A comparison of the old agree- ment with the new shows that there is really very litt!e difference between the two except as regards the closer tying up of the money to be paid over to liquidate certain liabilities of the Tramway Company and to provide the necessary motors, cars, &c. The clauses affecting this reveal marked traces of compromise. There is an increase I in the number of specified purposes to which the £32,000 is to be applied—which is in favour of the company—but on the other hand the Corporation certainly secures a better grip in controlling the spending of the money. We would imagine that considerable importance was attached to the latter feature by the committee, since it enables the Corporation to see where every penny goes, and to ensure that the bulk of it will eventually be represented by tangible plant, realisable in case of necessity. Opinions respecting the percentage of I energy lost in tbe process of transforma- tion appear to be be-Irelaslly irreconcilable. On one hand we have it confidently asserted that the Joss varies from three to six per cent. That is simply absurd," protests the other side to the argument, the loss is at least forty per cent." As the process of transformation is by 110 means rare, and as the actual loss of energy can be easily ascertained to a nicety, the man in the street is tempted to think that he is being played with, and consequently to comfort himself with the legal quip that the throe grades of I romancers are—(1) simple liars, (2) bad liars, and (3) expert witnesses. I But, as we shall presently show, the I whole dispute rests upon a misconception. The parties differ because they have not first decided where the current is to be measured. Once they determine this, and the differences dissolve and disappear. And now for a demonstration of the fact. Captain Sinclair, who is a practical electri- cian, employed daily in the production of electricity, when asked yesterday what he thought of the estimate which placed the loss of energy in transformation at from 3 to 7 per cent., replied, "I am surprised to see it made, because the statement is not only mis- leading, but absolutely wrong. The letter of Messrs. Strode and Co. to the Mayor has no bearing at all ou the Tram- way Scheme. The transformers at the Cardiff Exhibition are for transforming the iiigh voltage alternating current into an alternating current of low voltage for lighting purposes. The great loss of energy is in transforming alternating current into a continuous current for use on the tramway—another thing altogether. 1 am surprised that the earlier discussions on this subject have produced no better results in the way of educating the press and the public—that is, if what appeared in your contemporary is to be taken at) evi- dence of the general knowledge, more especially as the article seems to bear the imprint of inspiration. Such statements ¡ as that, if inspired, can only have been made J for the purpose of misleading the public." And then Captain Sinclair proceeded, by means of d.agrams, to show how absolutely wrong was the statement. From the alternating generator the current is carried I to the alternating motor, which consumes) about 20 per ccnt. of the energy then passed through the continuous current generator which accounts for auotlier 10 per cent, of the energy, aud finally the current is stored in the accumulator, which process reduces the energy by a further 20 per cent, or thereabouts. That is oO per cent. or thereabouts is it not r" demanded Mr. Sinclair and on the face of it no other conclusion seemfed possible, assuming the details of the estimate justified. But one story is good until another is told. Mr. Richard Martin, who has thrown himself heart and soul into the triple scheme, was shown the rough diagrams, and the calculations of Captain Sinclair. What do you think of theia f' he v, as asked. I don't accept the precise figures, but substantially Mr. Sinclair is right," was the quiet reply. Then you concede that your calcula- tion that electric power can be profitably supplied to the Tramway I Company at 2d. per unit is vitiated by the loss of energy due to transformation, amounting say to 40 or 50 per cent.?" Not at all." And then came the revelation! which m the language of the melodrama- tist, "explains everything." Our estimate of cost" continued Mr Martin, "is made out, not at the alternating generator, but at the point where the electric current becomes usable to the company. The loss of energy referred to bv Mr. Sinclair will have taken place, and passed out of calculation us a factor j at that point, and we sire convinced that, as supplied and measu; ed J)ure at 2d. per unit, the bargain w>l! in- j uiinerative to the town. Further, Mr. Sinclair over- estimates the actual J"8 between the alternating generator and the supply station of the company. He assumes that all the current wiil pass through tho accu- mulators, whereas that proportion only will be so treated winch wiil be necessary to cover the over-lapping period wheo) electricity will be lequired for both driving and lighting." El Mr. Sinclair tacitly admitted, that under the conditions proposed for utilizing the day-load to drive the trams the price I agreed upon might prove remunerative. "But my contention is," he remarked that if the continuous current were produced at the outset the waste, of energy would be avoided, and the supplying of the tramway would be in- finitely inoit) profitable." Mr. Martin's rejoinder to this is, "The continuous low tension system is impracticable at Swansea, for the reason that eventually widely separated districts will have to be supplied." The bringing together of the two views will, we venture to think, greatly help our readers to form an intelligent opinion in regard to their respective merits.

The Llanelly First XI. commenced the proceedings by defeating Llan- dovery College by 155 runs for nine wickets, ¡ against 96. The Second Eleven performed in a similar way against Maesteg. Again, the Llanelly Shooting Club made things extremely hot fotf* the Cardiff team, putting on 824 against 740. a win of 84 points. The Mor riston Quoiting Club fared but little better at the hands of the Llanelly men, the latter winning by 162 to 110. At Llandovery the Llanelly team added another victory to their already long list of wins. They have been in particularly good form ever since tlie Swansea match at Stradev. This is tlie second time during the present season that the Collegians have had to succumb to the prowess of the redoubtable Llanelly willow wielders. I was glad to see Mr. H. W. Veall handling his bat so well on Saturday. He has been rather unlucky in the last few matches, but against Llandovery he demonstrated his un- doubted ability by hitting up 66 ill vigorous style. John Howell played his usual careful cricket for his 22. He will not be far off the top when the batting averages come to be reckoned np at the end of the season. 1). Richards, for the home men, played an exceedingly good game for his 37, run out. D. L. Joseph again bowled well for Llanelly, )' taking no less than five wickets for 22 runs W. denner and Fred Rees took two wickets each. N. L. James, the college captain, bowled very effectively.
SHOOTING.I
SHOOTING. I To be defeated by Llanelly by 84 points on Saturday is not exactly pleasant to the Cardiff "shots. but such was the case 011 Saturday. On the occasion of the last meeting between these two teams Cardiff won by one point. The tables were turned over completely on Saturday. No particularly high scores were made, with I, one exception. The exception was Sergeant W. T. Davies, who put on an excellent 93, the four next best were also Llanelly men. j The highest made for Cardiff was 83 by Ser- geant Coles. A silver challenge cup has been presented by the South Wales VoLunteer Brigadier, Colonel A. Pendarvis Vivian, C.B., to be shot for under the following conditions :-(1) The cup will be shot for annually, and will be held for the year by the winning battalion, which may win it for three years in succession; (2) the commanding officer of the winning batta- lion to be responsible for it, and to produce it at the annual camp (5) the teams to consist of eight efficient Volunteers of any rank from each battalion of thebrigade; (4) the weapon to be the Martini-Henri rifle, or such other military rifle as may be in use by all the battalions; (5) seven rounds to be fired at each of the following ranges, viz. 200. 500. and 600 yeards (one sighting, not to be fired at each range) (6) sights, position, and other conditions as laid down by the National Rifle Association for similar competitions at Bisley 1 (7) the date and place for the competition will be settled annually, but it is desirable that. if possible, it should take place during the annual brigade camp.
CYCLING.j
CYCLING. j Writing on cycling. Ouida" says: "Bicycles are a detestable public nuisance; progress by them is vulgar, ugly, and rendeis the human race more ridiculous than it was before their invention. The racing cyclist is the lowest for in of deformed humanity that we can behold, and when he and his compeers tear through country roads lie presents a loathsome sight, drenched with sweat, covered with dust, and clinging, crooked and almost nude, to his machine. There is only one thing worse, a light railway, which wih help to complete the destruction of what little is left of Tudor England, of Stuart. England, of the England of Shakespeare and of Falk- land." There is no way of reasoning with an an- tipathy like this, and one can only hope that this lady may some day come to a wiser frame of mind. Meanwhile it would be interesting to leam her opinion ui motor cans ami motor cycles.
QUOITS.
QUOITS. There was an excellent match at the Pottery- road Quoting Grounds, Llanelly. on Saturday, when the Llanelly men met the champions of Morriston. The scores (162 to 110) seem to I incidate a one-sided game, but such was not the case. Several of the Llanelly men had the lead- a distinct advantage. James and -leu kins had extremely hard lines for the visitors, and it was only the magnificent pitching of their opponents-J. Morris and Harries—that prevented higher scores being placed to their credit. The game of quoits is becoming very popular at Llanelly, there being a large crowd ou the ground on Saturday. This win should give the gam* a decided impetus down the line.

Denlu "Flummoxed" writes Let me warm you. If this talk about transforming and loss of energy" is to go on much longer the town will be in a ferment. What I want to know, as a plain honest man. is. What ia going to be transformed, and whose energy, is not to be lost. Is it the Corporation ? If might be all the better for a bit of transform- ing, but the stars forbid any loss of ita energy. There's precious little there at the* best. Mr. John Jones, the landlord of the Nightingale" Hotel, Pont Neath Vaughan,, is fond of nice distinctions. Several Aber- aman lads were tined at Neath police-court a day or two ago for having disturbed the sweet serenity of the Angel. And they were Primitive Methodists," said Mr. Jones indignantly. "But," replied the advocate for the defence, "You are a Methodist." Yes. but a Calvinistic Methodist,' was thai emphatic rejoinder. There is a certain magistrate in Neathi district who has a remarkable head of haic. A local ne'er-do-well was brought before him on a charge of poaching. Considering the case proved, the magistrate turned to the prisoner and asked, Have you any remarks to make ?" Yes, I have," he responded flippantly. Your hair wants cutting There was a titter in the court, which de- veloped into a roar of laughter as the witty magistrate coolly replied, "So does yours, my friend. Three months!

But one of them had the misfortune to break his leg whilst skylarking, and it all came out. Justice was satisfied by the discharge of four, and tho serious reprimand, of the others.
