A CARDIFF PLAYER AND THE HULL fLUB. The question as to whether W. Jones, the Cardiff left centre, shall or shall not be forcsd to play for Hull seems to be grievously agitating the minds of the officials of the club in question—so grievously, indeed, that one is inclined to wonder if there is more behind it than the mere fact of Jones playing fcr the Hull club. The suggestion is that Jones has received money in consideration of having promised to play for the Hull club. Now, the mere fact of having promised to play for Hull would in itseif be nothing, but it is alleged t.hat Jones signed to become a playing member of the club OIl a specific date. If that is so, Jones has certainly placsd hinueif in an un- enviable position. Still. Jones's side of the case has not yet been heard, and until such is the case comment had best be left alone. One may, however, offer a suggestion upon the question that the secretary of the Hull club put in their letter, "What will the English Union have to say to ciubs like Black- heath. Bristol,, and Glouce-ter. &c.. playing Cardiff with Jones in the team?" Well, what will they have to say? What, indeed, can they have to say? The Northern Union is a body unknown to the English Rugby Union. Any [suggestion coming from them will, no doubt, be treated by the English Rugby Union with ess respect than a letter from any Dick. Tom, or Harry. The Northern Union, however, would hardly be so foolish as to make any complaint in a case of this sort. The suggestion made by the secre- tary of the Hull Club that the Rugby Union should take cognisance of it is a piece of un- adulterated cheek. Indeed, most of the offi- cials who govern Rugby football at the present day would be delighted to think that a Northern Union club had been taken down. I wonder whether the Hull Club would "smile" or not if a Welsh citil) was to com- plain to them that one of the Yorkshire club's emissaries had poached players from the Welsh Metropolitan club? I rather gue;s they would. No, my dear friends from Hull, p'c-ase don't think the governing body of Rugby foot- ball in this country is so gullible as all that. If one of our Welsh players is ass enough to ruin himself by playing for you, then our oill- cials will impose the penalty on him quickly enough. But. for goodness' sake, don't think that our legislators are going to drive our players into the enemies' camp through foolish and mistaken notions as to the "debt of honour we owe to the Northern Union clubs." If our South Wales players are foolish enough to run their heads in the noose by playing for you-well. that's their misfortune; but please don't expect us to assist you in trying to make the men make fools of themselves. I omitted on Saturday last to deal with the letter from my correspondent, "Old Judge". In doing this I am afraid I stopped many rer.dsrs from backing Wales. From backing Wales bcca-ise, as I have often pointed out, experience teaches me that when "Old Judge" gi-ves one tsam it is generally the other that wins. oil Satur- day his welcome card came a.ong as follows: — Dear "Welsh Athlete, —Wales will find Scot- land a vastly teaiu to England in crery department. Tiie icrwards will decide til3 issue more particularly^ and, I consider, given au opportunity, the Scottish three-quarters will prove a'hot lot, muen, perhaps, to the mr- prise of the Welsnmen. It cannot be denied that Nicholls is not Yet in form, but, of course, this is not surprising, considering his long absence from the game Our centres failed fompletely at Gloucester to make any openings; and who can say our three-quarters are equal to last season's particularly on the offensive? I need not say Scotland is my fancy, and I presume now you have every confidence in Wales, I support Scotland. You scoped in the English match, but there's a say- ing that may adapt- usel, ill this case that "Ha who laughs last laughs longest." Cullum ha<? not ^et made a match with Tincler—this in answer to several correspon- dents—aKlW-igh there :s, I tinders,and, a pos- sibility of il race over 1,000 yards being arranged between l!lt;!m. Such a match, if arranged. i9 likely to take place in the Welsh Metropo'ls> tor the interest, taken in nedeatrianism down this way is not sufficient to ensure ^thin»Jike a good gate. Up North it is very different, and it i3 pretty certain that If, a mtch is arranged it will take place, in Lancashire or Yorkshire most prooabiy at Rochdale, where. not only is xmcler a great favourite, but where good matches of this sort always draw remunerative gates The match, as I suggest above, is most likely to be over 1 000 yards, which is, I always think, Cullum' best distance. I fancy he would give Tiucler rac" of his lit2 l'liS distance, and I fancy, too, that the Cardiff man would just about win. Coursing in South Wales is not in a very bright condition just now, and, despite the support extended to it by Dr. Emnerfcord Harris, Mr. C. J. Spear, Sec., and the excellent attendance of the general public, it seems as if it is going down hill. The reason, I am told, is the apathy of themmhcrs of the club, anu it is mainly to this that it has been practicallv decided to do away with the draw dinneT. If one may judge from the support extended to the dinner OIl Monday evening last, the club officials are quite justified ia arriving at such a decision. S-VJl, the doing away with the dinner, if such a tiling happens, destroys one of the most charming features in confec- tion with the sport. These reunions are n0*. perhaps, thought 10 much of by the younger generation of coursers, but to the old stagcis they are honoursd traditions that they will see swept away with much regret. Mr. C. Prorzrt having resigned the secretary- ship of the Barry Unionist Athletic Association Football Club. the vacancy has been filled up by the election of Mr. Tom Davies, Barry-road, Cadoxton, who is an ardent fOGtballer, and one of the most active founders and supporters of the Soccer game in tho district. Next season it is proposed to thoroughly reform the old Barry District- Association C'iub. which, it will be remembered, held the South Wales and Monniouth-hire Challenge Cap three or four seasons ago. 'the staff of the Barry Company locomotive department proposes forming a strong te. m for next winter. A correspondent writes to ask if we in Wales notitfed that Sims and Phillips assisted West Ha-rtlepool last Saturday week. "Further," h3 says, "I should like to know if the Welsh Rugby Union has yet given permits to the players in question?" For my own part, I should hardly think it likely that anything of the sort has been done. The fact of the ex- Welshmen playing for West Hartlepool-doej not cause us any anxiety, however. The main Point iii-,isted on by the Welsh Union is that our Welsh clubs shall not play against these men. It would, of course, have been better had the English Union helped us in the matter. but as they will not do so we have to stand on our own. The decision given by Mr. Gwynne James in the Birkenhead County-court against Edward Woods is extremely important to racing cyclists, for it practically means that they have no appeal from the union's Tnling. The case arose out of a circumstance at the Birkenhead Wanderers' meeting in Juir. Plaintiff quali- fied for the final heat of a race, which was, however, decided without his having had notice. although he was waiting in the competitors' tent. By order of the judges the race was re- ridden, when the plaintiff won; but the previous winner, S. Robinson, declined to mount at the second time of asking, and objected to the prize being awarded to Woods. The llwtter was referred to the local centre, which decided that the prize should go to Robinson. Woods had the right of appeal to the general committee, which he declined to exsreise. taking the case instead to the county- court. when judgment was given against him. What gives the judge's decision greater impor- tance is the fact that he is a good sportsman, and well posted in cycling matters. WELSH ATHLETE.

Stirring Debate on the War. THE GOVERNMENT ASSAILED Lord Salisbury's Reply. ARMAMENTS FOR THE BOERS Got by Radical Permission, SPEECH BY LORD ROSEBERY. General Butler's Advice. STATEMENT BY MR. BUF0I7R. DRAMATIC SCENES IN THE VOTE OF CENSURE MOVED. The seventh of Parliament was opened by Royal Commission on Tuesday. In the House ofLords, Lord Northcote ig;r Stafford Northcote) and Lord Avabury ISitJ. Lubbock) took the oath and subscribed tie roll on their elevation to the peerage. The Duke of SOjfEjtgET moved the Address in reply to the gracious Speech from the Throne, and Lort SHAFTESBURY seconded the motion. Lord KIMBBSLJfj- congratulated the Prime Minister, in the place, on having con. cluded the agreenifnt with Garmany in regard to Samoa. Though he did not wish to make an attack .on anY Inmàer of the Government, he must deprecate such speeches as had been made by Mr. Cha^^eriain during the recess. because they neu^alised to some degree the efforts made by *4e noble marquess to bring about a friendly inderstanding between our- selves and other fowers. Turning to the sub- ject of the war inSouth Africa, he complained that the Governnjent had ahown a want of foresight and jodarllent. and contended that thay ought to ha been better prepared for the war. Lord SALISBTJRt said the noble earl had just expressed his belief that her Majesty's Government imtstlhave known all about the large quantities of artillery and munitions of war which the Boers were accumulating. But how on eatth, he asked, were they to know it? fhey had no power of search at LOllreo Marques, and they pos- sessed no means ascertaining what amount of warlike materitl was imported Into the Transvaal. We a very small secret service fund as compare with other countries, and, of course, if we ntecl to obtain much infor- mation we must PJjr a great deal of money for it. In the circOmfances, therefore, it was im- possible to have omniscience which the noble earl seewejl to regard as a necessary attribute c-f !i?r %jesty's Government. They knew now that tk RepubliC8 haA l)ee:tl eccu. mula;ting trenoen%,3 armaments during a long series of years- W h entirely denied that they knew the €*fent of those armaments in •Tune last. At aI events, they had not the knowledge in :1 f of proof upon which they could go to Parheut. In his judgment the original fault in the Treaties of 18S1 and 1884, under whi^^jg bitterly hostile popula- tion. installed 1." our midst, enjoyed every facility for the introduction, of all the arms they pleased. He was glad to find that the noble earl did bot propose an immediate inquiry into the tions either of the military authorities at ho or of the generals in the field. For his part ha did not believe in the perfection British Constitution :18 an instrument war. He did not think that the British Constitution, as at. present worked. was a good machine. In the present crisis we m118t. a?j join together to exercise all the power tfe fcoukl give in order to extri- cate from a situation that was full °*, humiliation aiyl not free from danger. ,e every ground to think that if we set oU>"?elve8 heartily to work, and exerted all the ttl^ubted instruments of power which we hripg the war to a satigfactory Conclusioit..

It was much too ffrave an issue to be dealt with in that The only placs where the noble lord v ^id"be met with sympathy and where he *3}! arouse enthusiasm wa3 Pretoria. BOSEBERY animadverted severely on the *^r,rlle Minister's speech, which made it very ha' °r the "man in the street" to support ùe DOlIcy of the Government. He insisted that had a right to know now what the Govern- tv/Jltent-'€d to do- Vast masses of troop3 pad been sent to South Africa, and they had jiot even a hint from the First Minister of the Crown as to what military measures the Government proposed to take in face of the disasters which we had met with and of the sacnflcss which he might be called upon to make in the future. LORD LANSDOWNE remarked that if he did not gjve the noble earl a. detailed answer to ^question it was because the debate on the Address scarcely seemed toaffori a. proper 0PPortuirity for unfolding a statement on a Very practical matter. He should, however, be ready at a very ekrly date to explain fully to their Lordships what military measures aer Majesty's Government had in contempia. tion. The Address was then agreed to. In th* House of Commons the usual Address in reply to the Speech from the Throne was moved by Captain PRETTYMAN and seconded by Mr. H. P. PEASE. Sir H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAX, who was received with cheers, after noticing the Para- graphs in the Speech with regard to federation and the famine in India, turned to the subject of the war. which he dealt with at consider- able length. He began by referring to the checks and disappointments which we bad suffered, and maintaining that in this severe the people had behated as became our high position among nations. As to the Courage and fortitude of the British soldier they had never been more conspicuous than in this war, and in this tribute to the British soldier he included ths sons 01' our Colonies. He klso spoke with approval of the action of the Volunteers, but observed that by availing themselves of the services of that auxiliary force in South Africa the Government were having recourse to an uuusual method of reinforcing* our troopa in the field. He reite- rated the readiness of the OPPosition to sup- port the prosecution of the war with vigour in order that as soon as pos»i^« the integrity of the Queen's dominions might be vindicated and a successful end attained. But he cn- snred the Government severely for their action before the war. insisting that they had not approached the great South African problem in the proper spirit. He claicie<i that the pre- sent was the right time for effective criticism of the policy of the Government, and then argued that the way in which Government had conducted their negotiations with the Boers had created suspicion in the minds of the latter, who believed that certain powerful Persons who were supposed to he very influen- tial in this country desired to impair the integ- rity and independence of the South African Republic. That suspicion had increafced in the last few years whilst the preiJent Colonial Secretary had been in power. Too little con- sideration, in his opinion, had been shown to the loyal Dutch at the Cape. who&e Ministers had been treated with a cOolness but little calculated to foster gOOd feeling. Discussing the causes of the war. he described the. view that it was inevitable as an -ex post facto opinion. In the negotiation? that carried on in the summer there was nothing of which to make a casus bell^ and he, there- fors, adhered to the opinion tnat there was then nothing to justify war. and, therefore. 110thing to justify preparation0 for war. But to send out, as the Governm?nt- a;d, insignifi- cant bodies of troops was ludICrous, and if their object was to frighten the Boers into submission a greater miscalculation j,a{j never been mad-a. Then the Government were sur- prised when the Orange Frse State threw in lot with the Transvaal, hut in the circum- stances he saw no reason at all for surprise. Here, again, the Government had made a mis- take. Turning next to a conuderation of the armaments of the Boers, he asked whether the Government knew in the lniddle of last summer of their great military resources, and stated that ror Ms part he should be sur- prised if the Intelligence Department ).¡U not Îil p03,e"i-Jn of the facts. He wished to knovz whether the Intelligence Department com- munica t?d their information to the Com- mander-in-Chief. and whether it was in turn submitted to the Secretary of State and to the Cibicet Council of Defence, which had been set up apparently to override the decisions of the Secretary of Stats and to diminish his "■espoiisibility. He also asked that the sr.iMi2s of Sir W. Butler with regard to the forces required to cope with the Transvaal should be produced. Criticising the speeches delivered by Mr. Bal- four at Manchester, he dec!?red that if the Government had asked the House for supplies sooner than they did they would have been supported by the Opposition. The First Lord of the Treasury's contention that that support would-; have been withheld was not well founded; but if the Government really believed at the time that the necessary supplies for the protection of the Colonies would not have been granted they ought to have resigned office. With regard to the actual conduct of the cam- uaign. he expressed the pleasure with which he had heard the assurance that the generals were to have a free hand; but he asked for further information as to the decision arrived at by Sir George White to occupy Glencoe and Dundee, wishing to know whether that decision was come to without consultation with the Government. Then, were the accumulation of stores at LJùYri-mith and the retention of a larlre body of troops there the result of any evil influence, and was it on purely military srounds that Sir R. Buller abandoned his civiliug influence, and was it on purely mili- To these questions, he said, the country was waiting for answers. Mr. BALFOUR, alluding to Sir H. Campbell- Bannerman's declaration as to his readiness to support the prosecution of the war, described it as a promise of support only as long as we were engaged in repelling invasion. The right hon. gentleman declined to commit himself beyond that point, whereas the Government had only despatched men in drib- country absolutely supreme throughout South Africa. Replying to the attack of the leader of the Opposition upon the diplomacy of the Government and the Colonial Office, the r;ght hall" gentleman pointed out that, although that diplomacy had been pursued steadily for years, the Opposition had hitherto not thought it necessary to move a vote of censure. Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman had combated the view of the Government that the war was inevitably; but many distinguished members of the right hon. gentleman's own party agreed with the Government on the point and disagreed with him. Up to a certain date, no doubt, the Government had believed that war would be avoided; but. looking back now, they had come to the conclusion that the Boer Government never meant to make the neces- sary concessions and that hostilities were, therefore, inevitable. Adverting to the military preparations which were made in the summer, he main- tained that it was incorrect to say, as the loader of ths Opposition had done, that the Government had only dispatched men in drib- lets week by week. To the argument that the Government ought to have known that the Orange Free State would join the Transvaal, he replied that any one might be forgiven for not foreseeing that a St., t-e enjoying absolute security from interference would jeopardise its whole future by rushing into war. Turning to another topic, he affirmed that the Government had never concealed from the House the fact that the African Republics were arming. The underestimate of the strength of the Boers ought not to be made a. matter of charge against the Intelligence Department, for there was no evidence to show that the Department was wrong with regard to any fact which it was in its power to investigate authoritatively. If he were asked how it came about that an underestimate of the Boer strength was made, he could only reply that, the problem was a military problem, and that similar mistakes had been made by nearhr"!rtf military nations. Our soldiers believed ffhat. the forces at first sent cut would b-9 more .than sufficient. This statement of the right hon. gentleman was received with Opiwtffcidn cries of "Butler," and he therapon asserted emphatically that the Government hld not the slightest reason to suppose that Sir W. Butler's opinion on the military question was different from that of other military men. He next explained certain passages in his speeches in the country, statiiig- that they had been mis- represented, and then defended the Govern- ment against the charge that they had re- frained from 'asking for necessary supplies in the summer because they feared the Opposi- tion. Believing that the contingency of war was possible the Government provided against it by sending to the Cape and Natal a sufficient force to defend the frontiers of those Colonies until a field force could arrive. The defensive force sent out was, in fact, larfjely in excess of the number of troops which the Government were told was necessary. As to the relations between the generals at the front and the Government, he stated that oor officers had not been interfered with, but had been given an absolutely free hand. With regard to the occupation of L-adyaniith and the arrange- ments between Sir G. White and the Governor of Natal. p»pera would be laid on the table of the House. Here, again, the whole responsi- bility rested with the military commander. He commented on the divergence of views among the Opposition. As to the Government, they did not minimise the magnitude of the task before them; they had no desire to conceal shortcomings, and were anxious to :earrt every lesson which the past could teach them. But they would never recommend peace untn the military honour of the country had been amoly vindicated. Lord E. FITZIFAURICE and others con- tinued the debate. IRISH, PRESS OPINIONS. Ths Freeman's Journal," commenting on the meeting of the Irish No.-tionalist party, says that once again that parby will make its power felt when the Unionist Government is least capable of resisting their united action. This will be a matter of rejoicing to the friends of Ireland all over the world. Th" Daily Nation says: -If the party it to be rendered capable of doing effective work its members must be left absolutely free Re- garding their allegiance to or app-roval of any methods of action in the House of Commons or the country, which have not originated with or been approved as a, portion of "the plan of operations of the party. The refusal on Tuesday to accept Mr. Dillore's suggestion that the meeting should express approval of the methods of the United Irish League was eminently hopeful for the future. The "Independent" says:—Irish members have closed their ranks just as the shattering of that prestige upon whicli England had been living for a century made them potent to strike a blow for Ireland. The reasons for rptiirning to the old fighting policy thit broke the hearts of the English statesmen of both parties, and forced Home Rule to the front, were over- whelmingly strong. The "Daily Express" says: -If a re-union has been accomplished there is no denying the sig- nificance of yesterday's meeting. There ap- peared, however, an atmosphere of restraint over the whole proceedings quite out of keep- ing with the assumed frankness of the chair- man. FRENCH PRESS COMMENTS. Paris. Wednesday.—Commenting on the pro- ceedings at the opening of the British Parlia- ment yesterday, the "Gaulois" says: '-Apa rt from its prodigious inutility at any time, yes- terday's speech from the Throne was what it should be. what in the present circumstances could not fail to be. It would show un ill- grace to ask that it should underline the re- verses of the British Army in South Africa, and the eloquent silence it maintains on the subject is very natural and quite legitimate. The "Figaro" remarks:—The Speech contains only one point of divergence between the Minirtwg and the Opposition, and that is, that while the Government appears to contemplate the suppression of the two South African Republics, the Opposition thinks it should rest satisfied on the day when the invasion of British territory is at an end. The "Paix" openly expresses its admiration for the spectacle presented by the meeting of the British Parliament. The speech from the Throne, it says, relates all that has happened without seeking to depreciate either its gravity or its sadness. The different parties and the nation as a whole, rally round the Govern- ment, rOIlNl the flag, and offer the world the admjra1- ctacle of a great people united in the sam- thought of patriotism. However little the English may be loved, one cannot but recognise their good qualities, even if only to present them as an example to our French- men, whom reverses cast down and whom trials often render unjust. It is no abase- ment to g.ve credit to one's adversaries Great examples deserve to be kept in view wnprever they come from. The "Siecle" publishes a letter addressed to M. YVetI Guyot by a Frenchman residing in London, in which the writer deplores the moral relations prevailing between France and Great Britain, and points out the danger to which France would be exposed if Great Britain failed to gain the upper hand in South Africa. The "British jingoes—those noxious patriots." the writer continues, "would rouse disordered pub- lic opinion to desire a war with France. On their side. the French Nationalist party, recog- nising that the public can only be-wrecked as the outcome ofn.reat military confusion, must hope for an unfortunate war. Thus on the two sides of the channel we find face to face the two parties apparently antogonistic, ad- vancing to meet each other towards the same objective, boh discounting a disaster to France as the essential element of their criminal combination.

Hockey Notes. fBY "RED DRAGON."] The intemaffcional trial match—North v. South Wales—at Abergavenny, on Saturday, Feb- ruary 10, is exciting a great deal of interest in the Welsh hockey world. This is the second annual trial match-Cae first-, played at Mold- twelve months ago, resulting in a splendid triumph for the South, who won by seven goals to nil. The victory came as a great surprise to the North, who, up to then, had furnished almost all the internationals. The Southern team, however, were not the least astonished, as they fully expected to w:n handsomely. Naturally, the composition of the 1398-9 inter- national team was entirely different from its predecessors. In fact, seven South Wales men found places on it—Dr. Reid, centre forward; E. Perkins, inside right; Sergeant Hoi low ay, goal-keeper (Swansea); T. W. Pearson, outside left: William Carnegie, right hal; H. Wood, left half (Newport); and Dr. Griffiths, inside left (Milford Haven). This preponderance was fully justified, for, while in previous year3 Wales were beaten by an average score of eight goals to nil, in 1898-9 she lost to Ireland and England by four to nil, and three to nil respectively. The approaching trial match will not, pro- bably, result in such a big win for the south, because, though hockey has greatly improved here this season, it has made more rapid im- provement in the' TVorth. Nevertheless, the South team are excellent exponents of the game, and can safely depended on to ccme out easy winners. F -ur of last year's inter- nationals will play the South, and this pro- portion will give the necessary stiffening to the team. Dr. Reid, i greatly regret to say, has never recovered s Jicifently from his illness to take an active pax in the game, of which he was such a brillia i, and popular exponent. E. Perkins was unab to play in the East v. West match at Bridg „nd, and to this is pro- bably due his absence from the team, as he is playing a really fine game this season. I" I will once more" give the team, and it will be seen that it is representative of the best styleSergeant Holloway (Swansea), W. A. Baylis (West Card^;V), F. Baker-Gabb (Aber- gavenny), W. M. Carnegie (Newport). D. W. James (West Cardiff;, E. B. Clegg (Swansea), Iltid E. Thomas (Swansea), G. Davies (New- port), Dr. Griffiths Cuilford Haven), H. T. Thomas (Swansea), and T. W. Pearson (New- port). The following are the reserves:— Goal. Gough (Abergavenny); backs, Henty (Swansea) and Evans (Newport), right; Flux (West Car- diff), left;, halves, C. Flux (West Cardiff). B. Jones (Swansea), H. Wood (Newport), and Cap- tain Ball (Swansea), left; forwards. A. Davies (Newport) and Prichard (Abergavenny), outside right; E. Perkins (Swansea) and Purdy (Milford Haven), inside right; -Earle (Swansea) and Jones (Wt Cardiff), centre; Powell (Aber- gavenny^) and Flower (Swansea), inside left; and P. N. Baylis (West Cardiff) and Miers (Swan- sea), outside left. Up to the present -here is no change in the !mwas selected, and I have been asked by Mi. Harold Woo'd, h<-?i. secretary to the asso- ciation, to state th;t, in order that c'ub hockey might be dialc ated aa little as possible, the reserves have 11< been retained. Should any one of them be wanted he will be com- municated with immediately, but there is no necessity to turn up at Abergavenny in his capacity as a reserv;. As a spectator hs will very welcome will be sure to enjoy himself, I hope team are in strict training, for their Northern opponents are a very^ dashing lot, ar u will make the pace a cracker. Gunner (RSyl), centre half, and Roberts (Dolgelly), goal-keeper, are the only two of their representatives on last year's internationals who do' battle again. The North team is as follows:—Roberts (Dolgelly), Johnson (Llandudno). Jones (Wrexham), Hooper (Llandudno), Gunner (Rhyl), Breese /r .°r^I?ad°c), Harrington (Llandudno), Andrews (Llandudno), Davies (Flint). Lawton (Mold), and Bainbridge (Colwyn Bay). A very noticeable feature of this team is that it comprises representatives from eight eight. as against from five clubs in the south. The selection committee have gone for speed and dash. Some remarks on the individuals must be deferred to nexit w-eek. Cardiff had another bumping win on Satur- day taat. when they defeated the Nomads on Llandaff Field-? by fira goals to nil. They are going remarkably strong just now, piling up big- scores; while their opponents are quite unable to penetra.te their splendid defence. Reeves, in goal. Matthew's and Ware at back. are esual to any three in Wales, and; with a. strong half line. and a forward lot combining well, the Cardiff team are very warm, indeed. Soon after the bally the homesters attacked, and gave the visitors a bad time, putting in shot zitfir shot. The Nomads' goal-keeper was, however, in grand form, and saved his side repeatedly. But Cardiff were not to be denied, and scored two goals in quick succession just before half-time. On changing over the visi- tors' forwards got several chances in the field, but spoiled them by individual play. Instead of passing to an ally they hit straight in front of them—to the CJardiff backs. Tbe result was !what might be expected—the triumph of com- bitiop, and three more goals for Cardiff. Merihyr defeated Newport Thursdays on the 25th, at Merthyr, by three goals to two. Neither side was well represented, the visitors, espe- cially suffering in this Tespect. They had, however, an international in Carnegie, who nlayed a great game for them, and brought some compensatory advantage. It was a fast gams, but anything but good form was shown. combination being almost entirely lacking. Occasionally the home forwards wakened up. ajid their second goal was the reward of very good passing. With but few exceptions it was a poor exhibition. For Merthyr Thomas, in froiU, and Thomas a.nd Yeates. at back, were very safe. but the halves were quite off colour, as was also the outside left, who fumbled a. great deal when he got the ball. The scoring was evenly distributed. Gould and Lloyd (both- of whom played well) notching for Newport, and Howitt, Harris, and Linans for Merthyr. West Cardiff paid a second visit to Chelten- ham on Saturday last with unsatisfactory results, as they lost to East Gloucester by five- goals to nil. The previous game was un- finished and drawn—one goal each. Hence a very close contest was now looked for. But East Gloucester are in clinking form at pre- sent, as the previous Saturday they downed Newport by seven goals to three. The ground is almost perfect, and the visitors never seemed at home on it. They also much missed P. Roscorla. outside right, who has heard his country's call" and joined the Yeomanry, and D. W. James from centre-half. West Cardiff played a good game. and contested it keenly throughout, but the homesters are very strong forward, and it would probably puzzle any Welsh team to beat them. The East Gloucester backs, as did the North Bristol backs recently, frequently run up the field so as to put the opposing forwards off- side. It would seem, therefore, that this ie a recognised practice of West of England backs. The questions arise—(1) Is it good play? (2) Is it fair play? It is not good play for backs to get too close to their halves, for while it sometimes makes the attack very hot, it more frequently leaves but practically one line of defence for the opposing forwards to get through. To run up the field thus very often means getting out of one's place, and we know what happens then. Because outside men lie well up on their touch-lines, backs are not playing soundly if they attempt to put them off-side, and. in order to do so have to leave their proper places. But some outside forwards lie up exaspsratinsclv far, and are really interfering with a scientific g;m. The referee does not see them always and, conse- quently. it ia a temptation, and is justifiable to put them glaringly off-side.

BAlfiY PUBLIC WORKS. The public works committee of the Barry District Council held a meeting on Tuesday evening (Mr. E. B. Smith Jones in the chair), when it was reported that negotiations were in progress between the surveyor (Mr. Pardoe) and the interested parties for the construction of a new road between Colesbrook-road and Robins-lane, Cadoxton. to widen the old high- way between Holton Bridge and Colcot, and to extend Moxon-street. Cadoxton, into Main- street.—The committee objected to an applica- tion mads by the National Telephone Com- pany for power to lay wires underground along the public roads of the town.

Out of the Frying Pan into the Fire is not a. consummation devoutly to be wished. The Frying Pan it bad enough, but it's better than the fire any day. But there are so many people now-a-days who make a big mistake. They talk glibly about being in the Frying Pan. when in truth they're in the Warming Pan. only they haven't sense enough to know it. It's well to know when we're well off. Grumbling Alley is a bad place to live in; No. 35, Sunshine Street, off the Thanksgiving Road, is much nicer. Try it. and you'll be glad you saw this advertise- ment. But there are worse things than Prying Pan experiences, and that is impaired health, which often means a wrecked life. These can be avoided by eufferera from Indigestion, o 8 Liver Complaints, Wind on the Stomach, Costiveness, Sick Headache, Nervous Debility, PAl. pitation of the Heart, Biliousness, &c., taking Page Woodcock's Wind Pills.

COMPANIES AND DEPUTA. TION; So far as the threatened strike of the em- ployes of the four local railways—Cardiff, Tafif Vale, Rhymney, and Barry—is concerned, it appears as if all 'danger is at an end, bo far, at any rate, as the que«- tion of representation is concerned. At the Barry directors' meeting a few days since the directors expressed their willingness for the management to receive deputations formed of men in their own service, to discuss anything relating to the terma of their service." This principle was adopted on the Cardiff Railway some months ago, and the management of that company only a few days since confirmed it. At the Taff Vale meeting of directors held on Tuesday, we understand the decision was to adopt a similar course, and, as the directors of the Rhymney Company have also shown a willingness in the same direction, this question seems to be decided. It is, however, a fact that the companies believed that what the men were agitating for was the official acknowledg- ment of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, and of Mr. Bell as its representative. MR. RICHARD BELL WRITES TO THB :C7: wmXn^is. r 7. 7 Mr. Richard Bell, general secretary of the railwaymen's society, has written to the managers of the four local railways intimating the dissatisfaction of the mass meeting with- the refusal of the companies to meet the men's representatives, and the men's intention to had in their notices on Saturday unless the companies accede-to the request rfor a con- ference. Mr. Bell sayti-"1 observe in_. the press of the 19th inst. that the managers of the four companies having their termini in Cardiff and Barry had a conference, on the 17th inst., and. it is reported from this con- ference that the demand which occupies the first placa in the men's programme is that they shall be heard by duly accredited repre- sentatives, whether they be employed on local railways or not.' I very much regret that such a mis-statement should have been oonveyed to the public from such an important conference, when it was.. well known that no such demand, had been presented to the com- panies, and it should appear that this is the cause of the present strained relations between the men and the companies. In order to remove any such false impression which your company may have, I again appeal to you to kindly arrange an interview with the elected representatives of the meh.who are employes, of your company before Saturday, February 3. I shall be glad to hear that you will do this. and so avoid any^further .friction." The follow- ing is a list of the Rhymney Railway men's representatives:—Driver J. Evans, Cardiff; Firemen T. J. Powell arid D, Clements, Cardiff;- Guards G. Weeks and E. Lewis, Cardiff; Signal- man W. Price, CaerphiiiS^ 'antj. Platelayer D7' Williams, Cardiff." The names of the delegates employed on the other railways are: Taff Vale:-Drivers Reed (Cardiff) and A. Marsh and D. John (Penarthj, Fireman W. Radley (Cardiff), Signalman J. Ewington (Aber- cynon), Guard H. White, (Ca rdiffy, Brakesman H. Evans (Cardiff), <$nd dhm&lnian 3t. Jon (Hafod). VT. BarryDrivers H. Williams (Hafod) and T. Rees (Barry).

Davies (platelayer), J. Clements (hydraulic department). W. Stark (crane-driver), W. Pres- cott (signalman), and J. Duddridge and T. Chadwick (tippers). — QUESTION OF RESPONSIBILITY. ( Outside Observer," writing to the limes" on Tuesday, says —"I wonder whether the public realise that at this moment there is grave risk of our com- munication with South Africa being inter- rupted by a strike on the railways of South Wales which will practically stop the shipment of coal from the port of Car- diff? Whether the action of the railway servants is justified and patriotic I will not discuss, but in any case, the directors of the four undertakings concerned-the Taff Vale and the Rhymney Railways, the Barry Railway and Docks, and the Cardiff Railway (which is practically the Bute Docks)—are taking upon themselves a very heavy responsibility. The present critical position is, you report this morning, the 'consequence of an unsuccessful effort to gain for the men's accredited representa- tives'-ill other words, the officials of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Ser- vants—'an interview with the railway directors.' Now, seeing that her Majesty has recognised the society by appointing one of its officials a member of the Royal Commission on Railway Accidents, where he has recently united with the chairman of the Midland and the deputy-chairman of the South Western Railways in signing a unanimous report; seeing, further, that on the North Eastern Railway a bitter and long-standing dispute has just been brought to a harmonious conclusion by friendly discussion between the officials of the company and those of the Amalga- mated Society, the public are, I think, jus- tified in calling upon th0 directors of these small Welsh companies to consider whether, in the interests of the country, if not tha;r,c^v.n, -they .cannot assume 'high and mighty' jfttitxide." j
