The County Echo

CRICKET. FISLKI U All L> v. HARBOUR WORKS. Another interest ins: d; lay of cri.-kefc took place on Saturday last on the Oinydre pitch, favoured with glorious conditions. On the aftercor-n of Friday the return match ot the Married v. Si. .e waF. to have come oil' but owing to the scarcity of players it became a practice exhibition, only about thirteen taking part. The result was that several were more able to hold their own with the very active eleven from Geodwitk L'arbour Works the day following. It grJes without saying that n el ID the present season is redolent of the "good old times" of the popular game in North Peuibrokeshiie. As for as one can gather by remarks lrt fail, cricket at Fishguard had ponae devotees fit, t." wield the willow for the county let,3 than twenty years ago. He that as it may the mature members of the club are assuiedly able to -Ile id even to-day for they invariably display form which would put to shame the tffurts of some of the present day-trained cricketters. Saturday's display aroused more interest locally than any match hitherto played. Not only were the teams full y represented, but numerous spectators gatbertd at a siife \j u-tig distance. Fish- guard won the toss the Vicar and F W Kichardson, Cilauwen, going in to bat to the bowling of W j- Edwards. It was clearly evident that Fishguard meant business no less than Goodwick. Xi:e Vi.;ar's first partner was unfortunate in icing run out just after the ft-ctlire of hi- egg,' A B Williams taking his place. BJlh batsmen were excep- tionally careful, the Vicar running up twenty before Edwardd collapsed bis wicket and A B Williams was caught for fifteen. With a score of nearly 40 during the first three quarters of an bour, and the loss of only thre wickets with some -LLart batsmen yet to go in the captain (Mr W L Williams) decided to I declare at the centuiy. W J Morris, who turned out for the first time this season, he having been ill, obtained the serviceti of that fleet of foot young athlete Georgie Bennett, the quarter mile champion of the Bristol Grammer School. He could scarcely have commissioned a better substitute to negotiate the runa. With J It Kicbards as his vis a vis" the batsmen we:e piling up the score but responding to a signal from J R Richards,' I- Georgie ventured too far from his wicket to be able to teturn and so the capital display of Mr W J Morris was brought to an abrupt close with eleven runs to his credit. There was a chapter of unforseen incidents and accidents. The Captain, who always shines in whateve- position he takes up on the field, had the chance with, admittedly, easy balls to rush up a oft spectable total, yet "his turn was nipped in the bud much to the general disappointment of the homester. As t c, r J R itichards, that j lajtr seemed set and well aole tc meet all kinds and conditions of bowl- ing with the sang froid of the professional, for after making twenty-three he carried out his bat receiving a cordial ovation for effective if not showy p1ay. Af:er J Scowcroft had been bowltd at the initial figure J Eians, of Jordanston, kept J R Richards company and added nine to the total. Georgie Recnett with ali the essential points of a good cricket- ter carried cut his bat with llicl ards on the I declaration,' the total standing at 101 at the end of 2 hours and 10 minutes' play. Towards the close A 0 Robins js^isted the Trogan," Edw ards, his swift balls playing havoc, not with the wickets, but with the players. Plucky Pat Duggan as keeper somehow managed to slop rii- of Robm's relentless sho's with the tip of his index iiuger splitting the nail painfully. However, Pat, after receiving the skilled attention of Dr J G Williams, took the position of long-off. Georgie Bennett also received the force of another of Robin's fast round-arm shots on the inside of the right thigh and which caused that young player no little inconvenience and,oming just at the commencement of his ttirn,iaattirally tended to disturb his equanimity. W J Morris had a similar experience at the onset of his turn at the wickets. It must not be concluded in view of the few erratic "trundles" that the bowling was faulty. Far from it, the Harbour bowlers won admiration by their splendid display of both bowling and lielding. Regular practice has strengthened the layers t, p considerably and under the skilled guidance af A 0 Robins, and the Captain, are bound to give a good account of themselves before the close of the season improvement is already marked. At five minutes past six o'clock the Har- bour team commenced their innings llobins ind Pat Roche going to bat. Immediately ;here were shouts of approbation from the .pectators. Robins was cutting and is slogg- ng in all directions in brilliant fashion fours md even sixes being the order, while the pace vas very brisk, to the bowling of W L (Villiams, A B Williams, and W J Morris espectively. There was smart work at all K)ints, but there were a couple of mishaps due o doubt to the keenness that characterised he game. C J Howells was repeating some f his capital work behind the wicket when he ball ricochetted from one of the bats and truck him on the right eye-brow, which bled )mewhat and that smart keeper was forced to atire. J Scowcroft, who had althrough the iatch made himself very useful, filled the acancy at once, only to receive a few minutes .ter, a nasty ball which caused him extreme iin, he gamely stuck to his post notwith- anding, but at the close sought professional d for his injury. Play went along merrily id it was patent to everyone that Robins, ith ordinary luck, would quickly make up e lea way. That smart player had scored rty, and likely to add sixty more but—here me the rub—W J Morris was bowling and refully, yet quietly, taking in the situation. esently his opportunity came and from a )w, but somewhat difficult ball he calmly tught Robins, much to the surprise of botii 3 champion and the host of admirers, with a tal of H to his credit. There were cheers the batsman and bowler who thoroughly Il-earued the plaudits. W B Edwards and Williams then continued the batting and it after 7 o'clock the home Captain declar- the Harbour having scored 01 for four 3kets. The game from start to finish 3rded players and spectators hearty pleasure re for the few slight mishaps which, happily ye not proved of a serious nature. 7ishguard, with the aid of Robins, who has idly promised to play, is likely to come out the match with Haverfordwest to-day mrsday) with credit.—Appended are the res :— FISHGUAKD. »ev Vf Evans, b Edwards 20 W J{icha.rdon, run out. 1 L B \Y illiams, c Redmond 15 if J Morris, run out 11 K Richards, not out 23 Scowcroft, b Edwards 1 Evans, b Edwards 9 J Howells, b Robins U W Watson, b Robics 0 Bennet, not ont Extras 16 101 iiARr.ourt c.c. o Hobinq, c W J Monis 44 at Heche, b A 1J Williams 7 ob Clarke, b W J Mori is 2 "a-shfoid, b W L Williams 0 v\ not out 2 ri Edwards, not out >» H Sansome, T Hevcraux, R Tobin, J Duggan, end J Redmond did not but.

Cancer on the Increase. An Official and authoritative statement upon the above subject proves without doubt, by comparative statistics, that Cancer and Can- cerous Growth is lately on the increase amongst the inhabitants of Great Britain and especially so, Ireland. Unfortunately up to now medical men and scientists have not been able to account for this alarming state of affairs or provide a remedy. An Ointment called MANNINA has established a won- derful reputation in South Africa, and about 18 months ago the preparation was brought to this Country, and has since been carefully tested in a limited area in the County of Pem- broke, Wales, with most satisfactory results, and has effected several Certified cures of Cancerous Growths, Lupus, Piles, Eczema, Blood poisoning, &c &c. This remarkable pre- paration can be obtained of all Chemists at Is Kd, 2s 9cl, and 4s Gd per pot, for Ulcerated Wounds, Blood-poisoning, Eczema, &c.; and 2s 9d, 4s Gd, and 8s Gd per pot, for Cancer, Tumours, Lupus, &c. or will be sent post free direct from the Proprietors, MAIN-STREET, FISHGUARD. The Ointment may be obtained from the "Alinnana" Ointment Co., Main-street, Fish- guard, or from Mr Thus Lewis, chemist, Fish- guard F D Phillips, Haverfordwest H A Williams, Letterston Albert David, St David's; Philipps & Co; Mathry J Williams, Newport, Pern.

Only One Second between Time and Eternity, and-" SOME time ago a wealthy Company Promoter was, with several friends, taking a short cut along a portion of the Highland Railway near Grantown, where there is a very deep and almost perpendicular cutting, a very sharp curve, and (ex- cept for a goat or a monkey) no possible egrees within fully a hundred yards. The party con- sisted of four gentlemen and three ladies. When about half way through the cutting they were overtaken by a railway porter who, almost breathless with haste, informed them that by running they had just time to get clear of the cutting before the express due at that Fpot at 3.39-g- passed. Each member of the party instantly consulted his or her watch—all valuable gold ones-but no two of them agreed, nor did any of them agree with that of the railway porter. My friend felt sure the porter was wrong, and tried to assure his friends that there was plenty of time and no need to hurry," but the railway porter was obdurate and implored the party to run for their lives, himself setting a brilliant example. Seeing the porter sprinting hard, the ladies took fright and followed, and instantly the whole party were running as if the express were at their heels. And so it was The last of the party had just rolled over into a ditch at the end of the cutting when the express thundered past. The escape was so narrow (not one second of time) that the ladies fainted, and for, perhaps, the first time in bis life, the Company Promoter uttered a prayer of thanksgiving. lie had lived a somewhat reck- less life, and as he afterwards explained to me, "It was only a second between time and eternity, and- But he did not finish the sentence; he was evidently thinking of Lis previous life. But," I asked, "how was it that only the porter's watch was correct ? I thought your watch was a very costly one." Yes, so it was, I paid iSO for it. But I offered it to the railway porter in exchange for y 11 his—a very ordinary looking silver watch—but would you believe it, he simply laughed at me, and exclaimed, Nae, nae, Sir Mine's a Benson I dinna want ony o' yer rubbish!" "And," added my friend, I can now say with the porter, Mine's a Benson, direct from their 8te,un Factory on Ludgate Hill."

HERE AND "THERE. At the monthly meeting of the Cardigan Corporation on Monday it was resolved that a reception by the mayor and council should be extended to the Cambrian Archreological Society at their forthcoming visit in August next, and that a conversazione should be afterwards held in the Guild-hall. The im- portance of the visit was generally acknow- ledged, and a special salary fcr the year was voted to the mayor for the occasion. The dispute as to the selection of a Liberal candidate for the next election in the Car- niai-then Boroughs is to be referred to the arbitrament of Mr Herbert Gladstone and Mr Lloyd-George. The names before the execu- tive incluie Major Jones, Mr T Terrell, K.C. and the silting member, Mr Alfred Davies. The R-JV A Holland and Mr DGwyther Joues, circuit and local preachers, were driv- ing into Haverfordwest on Sunday to fill ministerial engagements. Near Merlin's Bridge the trap was drawn up whilst the occupants spoke to the Rev A Jenkins, of Haver fotdwest, who was driving towards Milford. Suddenly, one of the shafts brcke cff, and the horse commenced kicking. The occupants jumped out, and alighted on their feet, only slightly shaken. The horse was 1 15 not stopped till it stuck fast in a bog at Har- oldstou, many miles away. At the meeting of the Pembrokeshire Standing Joint Committee on Tuesday last, the Chief constable reported that 29 indict- able offences bad teen committed during the quarter, the sams as in the corresponding quarter of last year, and 430 persons had been proceeded against, an increase of 44. The Chief-coustabia asked for additional ac- comoialiou for prisoners at Haverfordwest Castle, and a small committee was appointed to consider the matter.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. One of the most important items in the summer train improvements this season is tho running of a non-stop express between Pad- dington and Plymouth both up and down each week-day by the Great Western Railway. The distance run without an intermediate stop is 240 miles-50 miles longer than any other non-stop run, and the journey is performed in 4 hrs. 25 mins. The Great Western has always been famous for its express trains, and these are so popular that soubriquets such as the Flying Dutchman," the "Zulu," etc., have been given to the trains by travellers and others. Mr G. A. Sekon, the editor of the "Rail- way Magazine," recognising the utility of a popular name for a famous train, is offering a money prize for the best title for the new non-stop London-Plymouth Express, and Mr J. C. Inglis, the general manager of the Groat Western Railway, has consented to award the prize to the name he considers most suitable for the new train.

Fatal Accident -A fatal accident happen- ed at Blaenlhvydarth Farm on Saturday evening.When Mr Griffith Thomas, owner and occupier of the faiia, was loading a cart on the hay-field he accidentally lost his balance and fell with considerable force to the ground. Dr Price was immediately summoned but poor Thomas was beyond medical aid, and after a few hours fearful agony he expired. lid was well-known to a large circle of friends, and was greatly respected, and it is with great regret that bis friends 11 (especially the Congregational church at Llandilo, where he was one of the eldest deacons), learnt of his sudden death. Mr Thomas did honest, faithful work for every humble friend, for he always believed in doing good. — At an inquest held on the body on Tuesday, Dr Price, of Clynderwen, said the deceased was conscious up to death, but could not account for falling, except a ,I sudden giddintss, probably from too heat, The deceased was quite sober.—A verdict of "Accidental death'; was returned.VeCtaSEd was G8 years of age.
