PENNIES WANTED. Admirable Willingness to Help. ANOTHER LIST OF RETURNS FROM THE DISTRICT. = This morning we have the pleasant task of again acknowledging, on behalf of Mr. Leonard W. Rea (general secretary of the Car- diff Infirmary), the receipt of five more books. making a total of thirteen returned already. | They are from: — Mr. Smith, 59, Bridge-street, Cardiff. Mr. B. Timothy, Masons' Arms, Queen-street. Cardiff. Mr. J. W. Roberts, the Infirmary. Mr. W. Evans, Treharrls-street, Cardiff. Mr. W. Evans made a double-barrelled return, so that he has sent in three books altogether. It is known to ns that many more of the helpers in the movement are nearly ready to send in. Although. if the matter is con- sidered in all its bearings, there is no need for a great inrush—the great object is to get every family represented by one hook a year —yet, as money is needed by th infirmary to meet the deficit that seems likely to exist in the year's accounts, we still impress upon helpers and those to whom they may appeal, the value of giving as early as possible. Many people could afford a guinea a year towards the infirmary funds. Some do not, others do, and the latter are to be found in the ranks of annual subscribers, who are acknowledged in the infirmary report. There are. although, many people who could afford 5s. or even 10s. a year and who do not give it simply because of the lack of a medium. They do not like to figure in a printed list for such a small sum, and, there- fore, do not give at all. The "Evening Express" scheme affords an excellent opportunity to these for giving accordingly to their means. SOME OF TO-AY'S LETTERS. From Mr. William Gamlin, of Trallwn, near Pontypridd, wo received the following encou- raging note: — "As a constant reader of the "Evening Express," I have noticed your grand scheme about the Cardiff Infirmary. I think your scheme will be a. success, if the public will take it to heart. The Cardiff Infirmary has been a Ctod's help to the coalfield in the Rhondda Valley. As a collier, I will do my best to make the scheme successful. After the sad case you gave in the paper last week, I hope you will send me a few books, so that I may start collecting." Clydach Vale, a Rhondda Valley township. whose collieries have given admirable assis- tance to the Cardiff Infirmary, comes in the lost of places willing to help in the scheme. An application of just the sort that pleases comes from Mr. Thomas Roberts, who says:- "I have seen in the evening Exxpress" about the books of receipt stamps for the benefit of the Cardiff Infirmary, and 1 should be pleased if you will send a couple of books. I am only a working man, but I take a great deal of interest in the infirmary, and will do my best." Amongst other letters received by this morn- ing's post are cheering messages of good- will, and requests for collecting books from Cwmaman (Aberdare), Maesteg, Mardy. Ponty- oymmer, Ystrad Rhondda, &c. Tite friend who writes from Pontycymmer is very hearty in his sympathy. although he appears to think that the task of supporting the Infirmary should lie entirely performed by the inhabitants of Cardiff alone. This, we need hardly empkaaise, would not be fair either to Cardiff or the surrounding districts. A very large numbr ;• ■_ f the cases treated at the Institution come from outside Cardiff, and it would not be just to the districts out- side that Cardiff people should deprive them of a chance of contributing to the funds of the Institution. For, after all, the oppor- tunity for discharging one's moral obliga- tions in such matters is a privilege not to be lightly esteemed. WHAT HAS TO BE DONE AND HOW TO DO IT. There are 36 beds idle at Cardiff Infirmary. There are 811 patients waiting admission to the Infirmary. One-fifth of the accommodation at the Infirmary is being wasted. WhyP Because the income is not big enough. The Infirmary wants 65,885 pennies every week. Will you give oneP If so, then to-day take right hold of OUR SCHEME. Our scheme is as simple as A B C. The Cardiff Infirmary needa 55,385 pennies every week. We ask 55,385 out of the million odd people living in the district to give one penny each, or get someone else to give one penny every week. The Evening Express" wants to know if you will help in thia movement -by taking a book. Books, containing 60 receipts for one penny, may be obtained at the "Evening Express" Office, Cardiff. The money collected is to be sent direct to Mr. Leonard D. Rea, secretary, Cardiff Infirmary. Medals for D.S. In connection with this penny campaign a medal will be issued for distinguished service. The medals will be of silver and gold. The gold medal will be awarded to each and every person who disposes of 25 books, i.e., secures 1,250 pennies; and the silver medal to everyone who disposes of ten books, i.e., secures 500 pence.

Told in Tabloids Mr. Hall Caine is reported to be improving. His ailment is now believed to be nervous prostration, arising from overwork. The gene/Cl distress now prevailing seems to increa-se. In one day last week a single Church Army Home in London was compelled to turn away no less than 40 men for whom no accommodation could be found. Several of them asserted that there was nothing left for them but suicide or crime. Lady Windsor and the Countess Beauchamp will open the sale of work in support of the Church Army on the first and second days respectively. The sale takes place at the Port- man Rooms. Baker-street, W., on November 26 and 27. The stallholders include the Coun- tess of Stamford, Lady Pelly. Lady Nottage, Lady Constance Pelly. the Hon. Mrs. Lyttleton, the Hon.

DUNVANT EXPLOSION Child Killed and Parents Injured. HEROIC CONDUCT OF THE FATHER. As briefly announced in our Special and later editions last night:-— The little Tillage of Dunvant, near Swansea. was on Saturday the scene of a terrific explosion, which resulted in the death of a child and in the infliction of fearful injuries upon both its parents. The saddening details of the tale are, however, relieved by a. father's devoted heroism. William Jenkins. for that is his name, is a collier, aged 55, woiking a.t Caebryn Colliery, near Tirydail. and living with Ilia wife and three children in a four- roomed cottage, situated at the end of a lane which opens opposite the grocery shop of Mr. Jones at Dunvant. It was here that the explo- sion took place at 9.50 p.m. on Saturday. Exactly what happened it is difficult to say. as both the survivors are in such a critical condition that it has been impossible to question them. It is known, however, that at the time of the explosion Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins were in the living room OD. the ground floor with their little boy John, aged three years and seven months, who is said to have been on asettle beside the lire. The other two children, Isaac and Mary Ann, aged about nine and seven years respectively, were asleep in one of the bedrooms. It is said that one of the rules of the colliery where Mr. Jenkins worked requires the men to provide their own blast- ing material, and it is supposed that this may have been placed too near the fire. Whatever may have been the cause there can be uo doubt that an Explosion of Fearful Viollence occurred. The house ie dismantled. A large piece of the wall behind the firegrate was blown bodily out, and hurled several yards into the garden; a partition separating the living room from the staircase was blown down; the roofs were cracked, masonry thrown down in all directions, and, most astonishing of all, the walls were forced out- wards to the extent of from four to six inches. As stated above, it is impossible to say pre- cisely what happened inside the room at the moment of the explosion. By some means the husband found his way to the open air, only to find the exit of hie wife and little one barred by the fall of the partition, which had blocked the doorway. The most plausible theory to account for the husband's imme- diate escape seems to lie in the belief tha.t he got through the doorway before the fall of the partition, which may not have given way until some seconds after the explosion. In order to appreciate the heroism of his subsequent conduct it must be remembered that he was fearfully burned by the explo- sion, and was at the moment of his escape probably a mass of flames. At all events when seen a few moments later by the next- door neighbour, Samuel Phillips, hie Hair and Legs Were Burning. Yet notwithstanding this the devoted man at once set to work in a desperate effort to help his wife and little one. Blow after blow he dealt with his naked fist on the window of the living room to break a way for their escape, and the dried blood on the sash tells how dauntlessly he laboured. Finding this attempt hopeless, on account of the smallne98 of the panes. he rushed to the window of the parlour, where he succeeded in breaking the sash, though not until he had received severe cuts, as the quantity of blood about the place testifies. It waa at this moment that Samuel Phillips arrived. By this time Mrs. Jenkins and the baby were outside, and the bouse waa on fire. Phillips, according to his own statement, was sitting in his own house when he heard a dead, heavy, noise. For a moment he did not attach any importance to it, bat, when a moment later a acre am was heard, his wife exclaimed, "There's something the matter." To use his own words: "Aa we came out of the house we met Jenkins on fire. Sarah ran in for some water, and I waa scraping the flames off his legs. Ae soon aa he got the Barnes from him he ran back and got the children out." This last statement has reference to the two children, who were in bed at the time of the explosion when the father reecued his wife and son from the lower room, and when the flames that enshrouded his own hair and clothing had been extinguished, he at once turned his attention to them- .Following his directions, the nine-year-old lad, Isaac, raised the window, and both children leaped from it into his arms. Mr. Phillipe then burst open the door and, with a few buckets of water. extinguished the flames which had caught the drapery of the room. Medical assistance was obtained, but the child, John, died at about five o'clock on Sun- day morning, and it was later on thought advisable to take his parents to the Swansea Hospital. Both were suffering from severe burns, the father from cuts also. It speaks volumes for the heroic fortitude of Jenkins and the terrible suffering under which he saved hie family, that when his arms were dressed, ekin and flesh peeled a way to the finger tips. The Inquest. At Dunvant Mr. Glynn Price, the coroner for Gower. formally opened to-day the inquest on the body of William John Jenkins, sou of William Jenkins, of Cross Roads, Dun- vant.-Margaret Cole, of Cross Roads, Duu- vant, said that on Saturday, at eight o'clock. she was called to the house where deceased lived with his father and mother. When she arrived at the house she was directed next door, where ahe found deceased in bed with his mother. She remained with deceased until he died. at 4.45 a.m. the following day. Dr. Perkins and Dr. Davies attended to the deceased. Samuel Phillips deposed that at 9.30 p.n.. on the 8th he heard a loud "thump" like thunder, and then he heard a shout and a cry. On going out with his wife he saw flames issuing from the windows of the house next door to where he lived and where W. Jenkins lived. He saw Jenkins outside the house. His clothes were all burning-11 down hia legs. He took Jenkins in his arms and passed his arms down Jenkins's clothes to put out the fire, and his (Phillips's) wife threw water over him. They eventually suc- ceeded in putting out the flames. While be and Mrs. Phillips were doing this Jenkins was crying out for his children, who. he said, were in the house. Just then Jenkins's wife rushed out. with her clothes burning, and his (Phillips) wife and himself did the same with her as they had done to her husband and put out the flames on her body. While they were doing this William Jenkins went into the house and got his two children out from the top room by the window. When Mrs. Jenkins came out of the house, with her clothes burn- ing, she had a child in her arms. This was all the evidence taken, and the inqueet was adjourned until 10.13 on the 24th inst. Inquiry at the Swansea Hospital this morn- ing elicited the information that the injured husband and wife are fairly comfortable.

BURGLAR'S SWEETHEARTS FIGHT. Everything Explained at the Police-station. A singular meeting between twin sisters. named Louise and Claire Leprez, occured in Paris on Sunday. The two had not seen each other for fifteen years, when their father and mother separated, the father bringing Louise to Paris, while the mother remained in tha country with Claire. Louise became ena.- moured recently of a young maji, but goon found that she wa« not the only object of his affections. She happened to see him in the street with another girl on his arm. and attacked her rival with a pair of scissors, stabbing her several times in the arm, while the young man ran awa.y. The two girls were taken to the police-station, and when they gave their names they found that they were sisters, and1 they fell weeping into each other's arms. The reason for their lover's precipitate retreat was explained soon afterwards, when it transpired that he was "wanted" on a. charge of burglary. He waa arrested later in the day. (

BAPTIST SQUABBLE Unseemly Affair Aired at Llanelly. LIVELY PASSAGES BETWEEN | BENCH AND ADVOCATE At Llanelly Poiice-court on Monday tbeiore Messrs. Gwilym Evans, Thomas Jones, and T. n. Griffiths) an application was made by Frederick Edwards. Station-road. Pembrey, for sureties of peace against John Agar. Nert-street, Pembrey. The parties are mem- bers of the English Baptist Church at Burry Port. Mt. W. Howell defended and Mr. D. E. Edmunds appeared for the applicant. Mr. Edmunds, in ojiemng, stated that the proceeding arose out of some unpleasantness at a church meeting in regard to the expul- sion of a member. Mr. Evans said it was rather unfortunate that a cage of this description should be brought into court and be advised Agar and Edwards to come to a settlement. After some delay the parties were unable to agree, and the case was allowed to pro- ceed- Fred Edwards. Station-road. Burry Port, deposed that on October 30 he attended the English Baptist Chapel at Burry Port, and sat in the pew behind Mrs. Agar. He did not make use of insulting language towards her as alleged. On the following evening Mr. Agar came to his shop and asked him what he meant by insulting his wife. Witness denied the allegation. Agar then used threats, and had a stick in .his hand. He called witness "a cur. a cad, and a blinking jackass. Cross-examined by Mr. Howell: There had been more unpleasantness in the chapl. Witness: Yes. You told defendant's wife to shut up her mouth when she spoke at the church meet- ing?—No. You also said. "Stand up. woman, when speaking to me"?—I told her to address the chair. The discussion was in regard to the expul- sion of a member?-Yes. You called the minister a fraud, with an adjective in front of it?—No. What did the minister say at the meeting? —He told us to be careful or we might be on top of a powder barrel. You said Agar had a wicked smile?—Yes. Do you think your conduct was likely to cause a breach of the peace?—No. What do you mean by a wicked smile?— That the man meant mischief. The next witness called was David Lewis, nineteen. New-street, Burry Port, who corro- borated the evidence of the last witness. Cross-examined by Mr. Howell: There are two parties in the church? Witness: Yes. Who do you belong to?—No party. Do you support Thomas?—I uphold the right. Mr. Evans: Do you support Thomas ? Witness: Yes, because he is a good man. Philip Phillips, printer's apprentice, Station- road. also gave evidence evidenc in regard to the row in the shop. The three witnesses gave evidence almost word for ward. Mr. Gwilym Evans remarked that he had never seen a thing come out »o beautifully. This concluded the case for the com- plainant. Mr W. Howell addressed the court ^for the defendant, and said there was nothing in the matter. An allegation was made by Edwards that Agar used bad language, but honours were easy in that matter, because Edwards replied, "Same to you." There had been some unpleasantness in the chapel, and Edwards brought the matter torward, with a view of dragging the partiea through the mud. Mr. Agar was a most respectable man. and had been connected 1I'lth the Baptist cause tor the past 25 years. Mi:. Agar simply went to the shop for the purpose of giving Edwards a good talking W for insulting his wife, and telling her to shut up her mouth. Edwards referred to Agar ae havnig a wicked smile. That was a most insulting expres- sion, and nothing could be more calculated to lead to a breach of the peace. The present proceedings were taken simply for the pur- pose of carrying away the feather and being able to crow over the other party, and place Mr. Agar in a position of contumely a.nd contempt. Mr. Agar stated that he was a member of the English Baptist Church at Burry Port. He had been a member of the denomination since July. 1895. At the church meeting he gave notice of motion, and his wife took part in the discussion. In consequence of what he was told the complainant had said about his wife. he went to the shop and asked for an explanation. saying, "Is it true that you used that insulting language to my wife?" and he replied, "Perhaps I did." Edwards then told him to take the matter to the church meeting. Witness replied that he could not do so, in consequence of the church, and he added that if Richards and his wife allowed him to use language towards them. ho was not going to tolerate it. He called Edwards a cad. Cross-examined by Mr. Edmunds: You car- ried a, stick? Witness: A Malacca cane. It would have been very effective in the hands of a big man?—Yes, if he used his strength. Wtiy did you object to going to the church ? —Because there were two parties in the church, and it was not advisable to bring more strife there. What language did Mr. Edwards use towards your wife?—"Get up on your feet, woman," and "You shut your mouth." Was there any harm in calling her a woman?—No. Mr. Gwilym Evans: Any man saying. "Get up. woman, if you want to speak to me." is An insult to whoever it is addressed to. If the remark was made we know what to make of it. Mr. Edmunds: The conventionalities of societies are not to be decided here. If a person said to a man, Get up. man," it would not be an insult. Mr. Evans: Don't try to be smart Mr. Edmunds: I am not trying to be smart. Mr. Evans: Alright. Mr. Edmunds: It ie a thing I should not try when you are on the bench. The cross-examination was continued. By Mr. Edmunds: Did your wife refer to Edwards as a boy? Witness: I do not know. Do you not think people should comfort themselves in a Christian-like way in a Chris- tian Church?—Yes. All members have the same right to take part in the proceedings?—Yee. You called Edwards a cad?—Yes, a contemp- tible cad. Yon went there on a mission of peace?—I went to speak to him about the insult to my wife. Why did you not go to chapel?—Because it was not necessary. Should not disputes be ta.ken to the dtacons at the Church meeting?—No. Is it proper language for a member of a Christian community to call a man a cad? Mr. Evans: It is what we think. Mr. Edmunds: My witness wat subjected to a severe examination. Mr. Howell: I do not suggest that you are an angel. Your wife interfered because Edwards spoke of your wicked smile? Witness: Yea. In the end, the Bench said the case ought not to have been brought to court, and dis- missed the application, allowing court fees and a guinea advocate's fee.

The innovation of a working man's ttake at Sully coursing looks like meeting with general approval. Since its foundation working sportsmen in South Wales have been keen on buying greyhounds. The latest incentive comos from the Badminton Sporting Club, which on Monday evening voted a substantial silver cup to be competed for in the working men'e stake. j

PARIS TRAGEDY. ¡ Husband Shoots His Wife in the Street. MURDERER NEARLY LYNCHED BY CROWD. The Rue (ie St. Denis, Paris, was the scene on Sunday of a shocking murder. A well-dressed man stopped a stylishly-attired woman in the street, and after a short altercation drew a revolver from his pocket, and, taking delibe rate aim, opened fire upon her. At the first shot she dropped on her knees and implored for mercy, but at the second she fell on her face mortally wounded. The man neverthe- less fired three more bullets into his victim. and then ran away. some of the witnesses of I he tragedy carried the woman to the nearest chemist's shop, where she died, while others pursued the man. He was finally stoped by a cabman, who jumped from his vehicle and seised the revolver, which was still in his hand. In the struggle for its possession the man tried to shoot himself, but only suc- ceeded in blowing away one of his fingers. The crowd fell upon the ma.n tooth and nail. He was knocked down and kicked and beaten with sticks and umbrellas, and would probably have been killed outright, but for the arrivaJ of a couple of policemen, who rescued him. The murderer explained to the police that his name was Germain, and that his victim was his wife, from whom he had been living apart. J-he had filed a petition for divorce, and he found that she wished to marry the son of her mother's second husband. He thereupon shot her.

MINERS' WAGES. Question of Giving Notices DISCUSSED BY THE COAL OWNERS' ASSOCIATION. The question of giving a month's notice on the 1st of next month to terminate contracts at the end of the year was the important sub- ject discussed at the meeting of the Mon- mouthshire and South Wales Coalowners' Association yesterday, but it was considered of the utmost importance that it should not be made public for fear of endangering the success of the negotiations with the men. which will be reeumed on Saturday. The strictest injunction was delivered to the mem- bers present not to divulge what had taken nlace. We were, however, in possession of .he facts yesterday, but. in our desire not to hamper the two committees in their proceed- ings, withheld them. The coalowners are not wishful to terminate contracts, and are still hopeful that some modus vivendi will be found by which such a course will be ren- dered unnecessary. The situation ie. however, bristling with difficulties, and the owners may find it necessary, as a precautionary measure, to give notice. One of the difficulties foreseen is in connec- tion with the payment for small coal. which the men ha.ve for years demanded, and to which, undoubtedly, they are legally entitled. At the end of the year, when the sliding-scale agreement becomes a dead letter, that demand will be put into operation. The men's leaders have held the men back for a long time. and they frankly admit that they ca.n do so no longer. The legal advice given to the owners yesterday was that. if the masters refused to pay, they could be sued in the county-court, where the judgment would almost inevitably go against them. Another difficulty which would arise may be stated thus: At the present time the house coal colliers are paid for what is known as thro' and thro' coal, "c. that the question of payment for smalls does not arise; but if the steam coal colliers, who at present get nothing for the small coal worked, charge for that coal their wages will be considerably increased. This will make the house coal workmen dissatisfied, and they will. unques- tionably. ask for an advance. There is yet another important aspect of the question. tJnder the sliding-scale both aides are bound to give a month's notice to terminate contracts, but when the scale goes the men can leave work when they like with- out being subject to any penalties. This would be a, serious position for the employers. There arc other points of lesser importance which may compel the owners to give notice unless some satisfactory agreement is arrived at in the meantime, but no definite decision was arrived a.t yesterday, pending the joint meeting on Saturday. As to the payment for r Ml coal, which the owners recognised mast come. there were divergent opinions. Of the fair method of dealing with with matter is to make a corre- sponding reduction in the cnt'.ing price for large coal, but bow far thf men's representa- tives will be agreeable to such a course remains to be seen. The employers feel that they must K prepared for emergencies, and by giving notice they will clear the board for dealing with any emergencies that may arise at the beginning of next year. We are a-ssnred, however, that this step will be a pre- cautionary, measure, the owners trusting that in the meantime a satisfactory arrangement will be arrived at.

SOMALI FIGHTING Karl Inger Said to be Implicated INTERVIEW wITk COLONEL SWAYNE. Port Said. Tuesday.—Colonel Swayne. who arrived here yesterday on the P. and O. steamer Arabia, has been interviewed by a rpresentative of Reuter's agency. H was 80 ill at Adn that he had to be carried on board. and is still very weak. He has no precise idea as to when the Somaliland campaign will be terminated and as to how the affair will be settled. That. he thinks, is a matter for discussion at home. Kari nger. he say.. it implicated in the affair, but he is unable t) state his whereabouts. The 110 miles between our force and the Mullah's position are difficult, since they are infested by hostile tribes, and there is a dense bush and no water.

WESTERN VALLEYS SEWERAGE SCHEME. At a meeting of the Abertillery Council yes- terday references were made to the meeting of ratepayers held the previous week in favour of the Western Valleys (Monmouth- shire) Sewerage Bill.—Mr. C. W. Carpenter deprecated the unfair remarks made against the clerk of the council (Mr. Shepard), and moved the following resolution"That this council desires to place upon record its full confidence in Mr. J.

PENRHYN QUARRYMAN IN TROUBLE To-day at. Cardiff Police-court (before Mr. Louis Samuel) Thomas LI. Evans, 40, was charged with begging in Penarth-road on November 10.—Prisoner: I only tried to borrow a littie money. Mr. Samuel: A very good definition. Police-constable Webster said he saw pri- soner trying to raise a loan of Is. 3d. He approached witness and requisitioned a copper towards his night's lodging. Witness explained that he was a poiice-constablp. and locked him up. He was three-parts drunk. and smelt strongly of whiskey. Prisoner, who was in a shaky condition, eaid that last week he started from the Pen- rhyn Quarries, in North Wales, for Cornwall, in search of work in the mines there. He failed to find work; his travelling expenses back to Merthyr Vale were very heavy, and his object was to raise funds from old North Wales friends. Mr. Samuel: You were the worse for drink? —A friend treated me. Have you any prospect of work at Merthyr Vale?-Yes. How much will it, coat to go there?—One shilling and sixpence. Mr. Samuel handed the man tha.t amount. with the warning that if he éame there again he would be sent to gaol.

S. WALES HOCKEY. Game Gaining Ground in the West. NEWPORT DEFEATED BY CARDIFF. (BY "FORWARD.") Hockey in the West is gaining greater ground than ever. Recent matches have brought the Llandovery Club well to the front. By their successive victories over Oystermouth (seven goalo to three. Llanelly (six to nil'. and Carmarthen (eight to one) they stand in a class by themselves as far as Western hockey is concerned. A perfect understanding between all the players is the secret of their success. iheir captain (D. E. Williams; at back. and their centre-forward (M. H. -Hicholis, tne iooLUalieri are in cnam- pion form. A meeting between Llandovery and some of the crack Eastern clubs would be very interesting just now. and some effort ought to be made to arrange one, ii not more matches. Cardiff defeated Newport on Saturday by three goals to one. lIazell was in no way to blame for the three goals which were scored, and the few other shots he had to save he cleared easily. The Newport ba-cks, Jones and Davtes, played fairly well. and of the two Jones was the better. Alan Davies at haif did remarkably well. and got through an immense amount of work. checking the Car- diff right wing continually. Harding was as safe as he usually is. and Guy Jones had a lot of work to do, and got through it very satisfactorily. But his hitting power is still deficient. Guy Davies played very hard, and got through the defence repeatedly, and Should have netted the ball more times than he did. A gr-jat deal of play fell to Pialph Williams and Bavlis en the left. and the latter played finely throughout, whilst Wil- liams was also good. Dauneev. on the other wing, made some good eprintt, down, but did not centre soon enough. He was handicapped to some extent by his partner, Careless, who, although playing very well, was nai fast enough to partner Dauncey I regret to know that my Newport corre- spondent, whos? notes have been scrupulously fair and to the point, is leaving this district for the North. One of his parting wishes is best conveyed in his own words-—" It is to be hoped that for the future some one will write the Newport hockey notes in the interests of the younger players." Tie match between Jfaindee and Aber- gavenny Thursday at Bailey Park. Aber- gavenny. resulted in a win for the visitors by six goals to one. The game was pleasantly contested throughout, and marked improve- ment was shown in the Maindee forward rank. especially the centre and left inside and left wing. who combined splendidly. In fact, the whole of the forward line was kept well in hand by the centre, and the shooting of Connop. left inside, was very fine indeed. Tovey and Lewis, at back. were a tower at strength to their side. Jonee. at half, is a player who plays with his head, and feeds and saves his forwards splendidly. Wilkin- son, in goal. was very safe, and shows signs of making a first-class custodian. The Aber- gavenny backs saved admirably at times, and their centre forward and centre half played splendidly, but lacked support. Tkeir wing forwards had 'several opportunities, but centred very erratically. Broadway and Pontypridd met on Saturday at Pontypridd. when a most exciting game resulted in a win for the visitors by one goal to nil. Owing to the slippery state of the ground, scientific hockey was almost out of the question, but, at the same time. the home attempt at combination was conspicuous by its absence, and there was a very marked difference in their play as compared with their display at Maindee a fortnight ago. The defence on either side was good. and Flux (Broadway) played a magnificent game. The visitors have greatly improved, and the com- bination in the forward line was at times excellent. During the first half there was no scoring, although both sides failed to take advantage of opportunities. During the latter part of the game, owing to the condi- tion of the ground and the bad light, the game resolved itself into a scramble, and Bro?.d.vay managed to notch the winning point. On the day's form they were certainly entitled to the victory, but if the home team will study tile suggestion thrown out in this column and aim at combination they will stand a gor ? chance of avenging the defeat in the return match after Christmas. Aberdare were visited by the Swansea Corinthians on Saturday, the home team defeating the Swansea!tee by four goals to nil. The heavy state of the ground made good hockey impossible, and early in the game it wae clearly seen that the visitors were quite outclassed. The Corinthians played a vigorous game. They possessed a good out- side right, who, had he been well backed up, might have notched a point or tvo. Their halves were weak, but the two full backs' played a aafe and steady game throughout, and their goal saved a couple of stinging shots. Aberdare were without Ferrers, which con- siderably weakened their forward line, of which Strand Jones and Morgan were the pick. A. -Davies was the best of the halves, while Thomas and Dymond. at full back, were great. Burkle. in goal. did all tba,t he was called upon to do in great style. The match between Llandovery and Car- marthen at Llandovery 0'1 Thursday ended in a victory for the home team by eight goals to one. The first half of the game was evenly contested, each side attacking in turn. There was. however, a lack of finish about the work of the Carmarthen forwards, and their efforts did not result in any scoring. The home for- wards. on the other hand, were always dan- gerous when they were set going, and scored four times, through Dan Jones (two). Ingram (one), and E. Carne Williams (one). In the second half Carmarthen were hopelessly outr classed, and were practically on the defence the whole time. Llandovery scored four more goals, through Ingram (two). E. Carne Williams (onet. and Nichols (one Carmarthen's soli- tary goal came from D. J. Davie6. who raced down the left wing, caught the home backs napping, and scored. Llandovery were an immensely superior side- The backs were safe, and the halves kept the forwards well supplied, with the result that many brilliant passing runs were brought off. The passing and re-passing of the forward line wae a" effective as it was pretty. Prominent among the home team were Williams (back). Hoare and Jenkins (halves), and E. C. Williams, Dan Jones, and Nichols (forwards). Carmarthen were beet represented by M'Gregor (back), O'Snllivan and Annand (halves), and D. J. Davies (forward). The Swansea Celtics visited Oystermouth on Saturday, and beat the home team by three goals to one. The Mumbles men went off with a bang. and scored within the first five minutes, but the Celts soon equalised, and almost immediately after drew ahead. Howell scoring a lovely goal. After half-time the game was of a very give-and-take character, bat the combination of the visitors enabled them to score once more. The galliC through- out was very fast. bnt. whereas the Celts showed good combination, every man in the Oystermouth 'team seemed to be playing for himself. Perkins was the pick of the Oyster- month team, and did his best to combine, but was poorly backed up. W. K. David, in goal, for the Celts, played a sound game, hie saving being very clever. Llanelly met the Swansea Wanderers for the first time this season at Swansea on Saturday. The ground was very heavy owing to the rains during the week. Lla-nclly were the first to score, Nicholls putting the ball through for them with a good shot. Several other shots by the same player narrowly mie-sed their mark. The Wanderers equalised just before half-time through Davies. Towards the end of tlie second half. Gerald Richards, after a good run from half-way. scored another goal for the Wanderers, and » keen game thus resulted in favour of the Wanderers by two goals to one. I am aaked to make a correction of the result which appeared in the evening papers I of the m;1tdl between Broadway and Maindee. Instead of Maindee being credited with seven I goals to Broadway's one goal, the score should have been entered as Broatlway. 1 goal; Main- dee, nil. Mr. Fudge, the chairman of the Welsh International Selection Committee, accom- panied by Dr. Duncan Cooper, one of the three Southern representatives on tn. same com- mittee, witnessed the match between Cardiff and Newport on Saturday. What they eaw of play and players will materially help them when the time comes to select the Welsh team.

A BRIDGE ON FIRE. New York. Tuesday.—A fire broke om last night at the top of the tower of the scaffold- ing used in the construction of the new East River Bridge between New York and Brooklyn. The flames were at such a* height that the firemen were unable to pump any water upon them. The fire provided a brilliant spectacle. and crowds gathered in the streets watching the firemen's vain efforte to extinguish it. A large quantity of wooden ecaffolding and framework was destroyed, but it is believed that the bridge itself has not suffered. It is reported that several workmen lost their lives.—Central News.
