Kensington Road Improved Lighting.
Kensington Road Improved Lighting. The magnificent improvement that has just been completed by the City of West- minster in the lighting of that very impor- tant thoroughfare, Kensington Road, and of all the streets in the neighbourhood, is being generally commented upon by the residents of that district on their return to town. The road from Knightsbridge Barracks to Queen's Gate is now so beautifully and evenly lighted, with an entire absence of glare, that it may well be described as one of the best- lit streets in the world. This alteration- greatly appreciated by 'bus and cab drivers and by the police, as well as by the inhabi- tants-forms part of the general scheme for the improved lighting of Westminster which was adopted by the City Council last April. The lighting is being done by inverted incandescent gas burners, the tender of the electric light companies having been 60 per cent. higher than that of the Gas Light and Coke Company, who are carrying out the work.

The Welsh National Eisteddfod Associa- tion has decided to offer some excellent special prizes at the Carmarthen National next year. One is of £ 15 for the best treatise in Welsh or English dealing with the march of Harry Tudor from Milford Haven to Bosworth Field with the details of his itinerary and the composition of his army. Another £ 15 is offered for the best essay in Welsh on the history of Welsh Societies in London from 1700 to 1850. In the course of a recent excellent address in South Wales, Archdeacon Bruce said they wanted music with more holy fear and reverence, something after the style of the old German hymns and chorales. In that respect he claimed that Welsh hymn writers approached nearer the ideal. Composers should study adapting music to enable great masses of ordinary worshippers to sing them without unnecessary and distracting effort, with reverent pleasure and intelligent pur- pose. He spoke with 40 years' experience of the Llandaff Diocesan Choral Association, of which he was one of the first secretaries. It had advanced greatly since then, and now, mainly through its laborious work, there was no Churcn, however remote in the vast diocese, which had not its more or less trained choir and adequate instrument."
FOOTBALL.
FOOTBALL. Ideal summer weather prevailed at Wands- worth last Saturday, and the goodly crowd who mustered to witness a football match would have just as well be content to watch a game of cricket. Under such sunny con- ditions it was hardly to be expected that a first-class display could be given by either team, nevertheless it was a lively contest, a fair exhibition of the rugby code. Catford Bridge, who were the opponents on the occasion, is a strong combination, and as a rule manage to run the Welsh fairly close. In the present encounter they had the best of the opening, but faulty passing enabled Davies to secure and make headway. Catford used their feet to good purpose, and worked their way quite close to the Welsh line only to be penalised. Soon after, J. J. Thomas finished a good forward burst by scoring, but the goal kick failed. In another five minutes Ewan Davies scored after a good bout of passing, and Edwards converted. Jenkins led the Welsh forwards in a couple of rushes, and Edwards was conspicuous for a final sprint up the centre. A very good run by Catford brought the play to the Welsh line, and for some time the home team was hard pressed. Shortly before half- time Ewan Davies again crossed in fine style, but Edwards's kick at goal failed. At half- time the Welsh led by eleven points to nil. Even play was witnessed during the second half, both sides showing a deter- mined effort to cross the line. It was a fast game throughout, but both teams suffered from want of practice, which is only inevi- table in an open-season contest. At the call of time the score was-London Welsh, 2 goals 2 tries (16 points). Catford Bridge, nil. Teams London Welsh—N. C. Newland (back); H. T. Maddocks, T. P. Lloyd, J. Edwards and Ewan Davies (three-quarter backs); A. P. Thomas and H. C. Evans (half-backs); J. C. Jenkins (Captain) L. James, G. Hulm, L. Jones, A. J. Davies, A V. A. Davies, T. G. Davies, and J. J. Thomas (forwards). Catford Bridge-R. Stevens (back) G. C. Holder, E. D. Lindon, H. Lambert, and C. E. Heaton (three quarter back); F. G. Ruthven and G. L. Routledge (half backs); H. E. Wilkins, C. V. Balkwill, C. G. Dickson, H. P. Hacker, H. T. Kerr, F. Helder, S. Larmoni, and P. Walsh (forwards); Referee, Mr. H. G. Greenwood.

A feature of Mr. Shapland Dobbs's Antique-Rooms at Windsor Place, Cardiff, is a painting by West, of Pontypridd's famous one-arch bridge in 1807. It is exceedingly rare. The Labour trouble in South Wales is not settled. It has only been suppressed for a few weeks. -— Payment of Members is becoming the favourite war cry of the Conservative party. This means that Tariff Reform is dead. A Welsh memorial to King Edward VII is the topic discussed among leading Welsh families, and two rival schemes have already been placed for the consideration of the public.

LORD CURZON, LORD CROMER AND…
institutions must be opposed as relentlessly as any development of the power of those which exist. Democracy and Imperialism these are the combatant ideals of to-day. And the opposition to the enfranchisement of women-the permanent opposition-is the opposition of Imperialism to the extension of Democracy. That is why Lord Curzon stands forth as leader of the anti- suf fragists. That is also why the women's cause must become more and more identified with the larger cause of democracy until we have at last established a truly representative govern- ment in which the right to vote derives not from property or from sex, but from citizen- ship alone.
