POACHING WELSH FOOTBALLERS. It is stated that Messer has gone for good He made up bis mind in a hurry, though not in so great a hurry as his companiou Mansel Owen, who deputed to a friend the duty of telling his mother where he had gone. Messer says he sees no advantage in remain- ing with the Swansea team. If one wanted a new jersey there was always a lot of trouble about it—more than it was worth. Only last Saturday he got his jersey torn in the Cardiff match, and when bo asked for a new one he was told to play with it until it was completely gone. That was only one of thi things he could tell. Don't," he significantly said, aa he left, be surprised to see others following." The statement i-espect-ing Mes.ser'S jersey is abso- lutely denied, the facts being that lait Saturday he was given an extra one. It is said that all the men had a lump sum down, and that they will have P2 a week in wages.

EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS IN THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY Our corpulent readers will be glad to learn how to positively lose two stone in about a month, with the greatest possible benefit in health, strength, and musole, by a comparatively new system. It is a singular paradox that the patient, returning quickly to a healthy state, with increased activity of brain, digestive, and other organs, naturally requires more food than hitherto, yet notwithstanding this, he abso- lutely loses in weight one or two pounds daily, as the weighing machine will prove. Thus there is no suggestion of starvation, It is an undoubted success, and the author, who has devoted years of study to the subject, guarantees a noticeable reduction within twenty-four hours of com- mencing the treatment. This is different with other diseases, for the patient, in some cases, may go for weeks without being able to test whether the physician has rightly treated him, and may have derived no real or apparent im. provement in health. Here, we repeat, the author guarantees it in twenty-four hours, the scale to be the unerring recorder. The treat- ment aims at the actual root ot obesity, so that the superfluous fat does not return when dis. continuing the treatment. It is perfectly harm- less. We'advise our readers to call the attention of stcut friends to this, bbeause, sincerely, we think they ought to know. For their informa- tion we may say that on sending twopence to stamps a book entitled "Corpulency and the Cure (256 pages), containing a reprint of Press notices from some hundreds of medical and other journals-British and foreign—and other interest. 109 particulars, including the recipe." can be had trom Mr F.

THE GENTLE BULLDOG. Bulldog," a Canterbury resident, is angry with us. This he shows in a letter from which the following is an extract "I was very much surprised at the types of men whom you caricatured as being connoisseurs of the breed of bulldogs in t;h M.L. of the 11th insb. Anyone who doesn't know anything about the breed would conclude from your illustration that the principal fanciers of bulldogs were the Bill Sikes loafer-locking type of men as there caricatured. You are (no doubt innocently) con. veying a very wrong impression, and by yonr very powerful organ are helping to strengthen the prejudice which used to exist, that bulldogs are principally owned by rougbs and loafers, and are used for fighting and other low and brutal sports. For one thing, the extremely delicate nature ot the breed and the care and attention which they require in rearing precludes the sorb of men you depict in your illustration from owning them on account ot their very great pecuniary value, Morning Leader.

SCOTCH IRON TRADE. GLASGOW, Friday.—The Scotch iron trade has been active this week, with a further general advance in prices. The great animation that prevails in the manufactured iron and steel branches has increased the demand for raw iron, and is attracting speculative operators to a greater extent than usual. Renewed apprehen- ic sions of labour troubles have at the same time had a disturbing effect, and towards the w!oae of the week the market has been excited and strong, prices reaching the highest point yet touched. Scotch warrants have sold up to 49,¡ 2d, Cumber- land to 51s, Middlesbrough hematite to 493 Id, and Cleveland iron to 418 ld cash. The amount of the outputof pig-iron iu Sootland is unchanged. Prices ot makers'iron are advanced on the week 6d to Is per ton G.M.B., f.o.b. at Glasgow. No. 1 is quoted 49 6d No. 3, 48; Clyde, 518 and 49s; Gartsherrie, 52s and 50s Coltnemq, 53s and 50s Glengarnock at Ardrossau, 51s 6d and 47s; Fglinton, 49s and 47s Dalwellington at Ayr, 48 6d and 46s 6d. The foreign demand tor Scotch pig-iron is poor, but makers are disposing of their entire output. Stocks in Glasgow stores are without alteration. There is a brisk demand for finished iron, and steel is much in request for shipbuilding purposes.

To THE INHABITANTS of Cardiff, Pen^rtii, and Suburbs.—It having come to our knowledge that un. authorised persons are tiying to dispose of goods as coming from The Dorothy," to prevent annoyance to oar numerous customers, we beg to caution them against this misrepresentation.—']:, Stevens, French Confectioner, Cardiff 448&~671e

ANTICIPATIONS. It was a great pity that the weather should have broken down on this the most important of the four days at Liverpool. Fortunately for the executive the rain began too late to materially affect the attendance, which, needless to say, was a very large one, but ib thoroughly spoilt the afternoon. During the time the three races preceding the Liverpool Cup were in in progress some brisk and important business was transacted on the last-named event. The feature, perhaps, was supplied in the opposition which broke oub against Birch Rod, as much a 1000 to 80 being offered at one period. This can be partly attributed to the weight of money thrown into the market for Count Sohomberg, who was soon installed at the bead of the market. The last-named, it may be mentioned, occupied this position when the wagering first commenced on the race. M. R. Lebaudy's representative continued to increase in favour, and all the fall of the flag as little as 3 to 1 was accepted, while 8 to 1 was easily procurable about Birch Rod. What the result of the struggle would have been but for an unfortunate incident it is impossible to say. Birch Rod was the first to break the line, and maintained her position at the head of the field until reaching the Canal turn, when Palace Gate got on terms with the leader and quickly got the best of it. When fairly in the straight Birch Rod struck into the heels of Sb, Jarlath and oaine to grief, thus disposing of whatever chance she mighb have possessed. Palace Gate took the field along till well inside the distance, when she was beaten, and Count Schomberg drew to the front and scored a very popular victory by a length from Devoue, while St. Jarlath, beaten three lengths, was placed third. For T. Loates the cup of misfortune is indeed running over. Only a fortnight ago he resumed his place in the saddle after being incapacitated by a serious accident while riding Troon at Manchester. This afternoon he was riding Birch Rod when the mishap above referred to occurred. When picked up it was found that he had broken his thigh, and he will not be seen in the saddle again this season. The incident naturally marred the enthusiasm with which the victory of so true a sportsman as M. Lebaudv was received. For the final day my fancies are as under Grosvenor Cup—La DAUPHIN or SNOWY Conitin. Stewards' Plate Tnp TARTAR or THE DOWAGER. Bootlo N uraery—CHILLING WORTH. Mile Plate-LEXICON or THE DOWAGER.

ACCIDENT TO T. LOATES. The Liverpool Cup, decided vesterday, was asso' ciated with a aad accident to the leading jockey, T. Loates, who was steering Lord Stanley's Birch Rod. The filly, who was going well until rounding the bend, then got. closed up, but being momentarily shut in the horse struck into the heels of Palace Gate and fell. It was seen that something serious had happened, and Loates was brought back to the stand on an ambit, lance. On being extnxui ne(I it was found that he had broken his thigh and sustained seriouii injuries to his back. Needles to say the accident cast quite a gloom over the remaining part of the proceedings. Fearis,1, who rode Palace Gate, also hurt his foot very ba.dly through coming into contact with the rails. In connection with the accident to T. Loates, Fiely and Fearis have been ordered to appear before the Stewards to-day on a charge of foul riding. Oil inquiry at the I iverpool Infirmary last evening 1\ Loates was reported to be progressing favourably. His principal injury is a simple fraeiureof the thigh, bone, and this was set in splints before leaving tho course.

Web Blanket pulled up very groggy after running in the Aintree Feather Plate on Thursday The oolt bad hit his leg at exercise in the morning. A. Ford, who lowered the 50 miles cycling road '■•cord for the Midlands last week, made an attempt to bring down Ben Winehurch's time 100 miles-5 hours 26 minutes. Ford started well, but, owing to bad roads and punctures, he had to abandon his effort at 40 miles, after covering the first 25 miles 3min, inside time. Janies Finney and Miss Finney, the well-known swimmers, sail for America on board the steam- ship St. Paul on the 21st inst. Harry Reed, one of Mr M. F. Dwyer's American racers, who carried off a selling plate in England last year, has woo nine races in America this season. J. T. Hearne, the Middlesex cricketer, left Eng- land on Thursday for India, travelling overland to Brindisi, and there joinmg the P. and 0. steam- ship Himalaya. He has a professional ongagement in Intiia, whence he will return to Eogland in time for the cricket season of 1897. A golf wedding is said by an American paper to be the very latest thing in the way of nuptial ceremonies. The bride was Miss Alice Lee, daughter of a well-known golfer the bridegroom was Mr Ralph Miller, of New York, and all the guests attended the wedding in full golfing costume. Matches on the links preoeded the ceremony in the church, and immediately followed the wedding breakfast. One ocoasionally gleans interesting news from the Australian newspapers as to cricketers who are exceedingly well known on this side of the world. Thus we see that the famous bowler, George Eugene Palmer, who could deftly break a ball both from the leg and the off, has been engaged by the Launceston Club, in North Tasmauia, in the capacity of a caretaker and cricked coach, while Harry Boyle, who shared with Spofforth the bowling triumphs of the early Australian tourists in this country, is now captain of the Zeehan Club-also in Tasmania. Once again was the Grand Sefton Steeplechase a Grand National on a small scale. Of the eleven runners only three, however, were backed in spirited way, and these finished first, second, and third. in the order of their backing. Rory O'More found the three miles much more to his liking than the longer course, on which he failed last March, and the race resolved itself into a match beween him and the free- striding, grand jumping Alplieus. Over the last jnmp the Epsom horse had. however, the full measure of the Northerner, and Bob Nightmgall had a comfortable ride m the run home. The Australian Norton was only third on sufferance, for the promising young Stratocracy could have obtained the position had he been ridden out. Waterford was going weU when he fell at the first fence on the Canal side—an obstacle at which Swanshot and Oldtown also came to grief.

ATHLETICS IN WALES. FORMATION OF A CROSS COUNTRY ASSOCIATION. A meeting, called for the purpose of consider- ing the advisability of forming a cross country association for Wales, was held at the Royal Oak Hotel, Cardiff, on Thursday evening. Mr W. M. Douglas presided, and there were also present Messrs Eo Thomas and 0. P. Hailey, reprssenting the Roath (Cardiff) Harriers A. M. Ricketts and E. T. Sellick (Cardiff Harrier"), D. Phillips (Swansea Harriers), G. Millinr -.tti(i E. J. Smith (Newport Harriers), and H. P. Evans and A. T. Lane (Penarsh Harriers). It waa unanimously resolved that an association be formed, to be called the Welsh Cross Country Association," and that the association govern both Senior and Junior Championships. The rules drafted by Messrs Douglas, Hailey, and Hugh Fairlamb were adopted, and Mr C. P. Hailey, 26, Clevedon-terrace, Roath, Cardiff, was elected hon. secretary and treasurer. Several influential gentlemen were nominated for the presidency, and the secretary was instructed to write them with a view of their acceptance of the offer. Votes of thanks con. cluded the proceedings.

A SHARE IN THE TIMES." Mr Justice Cave and a common jury in the Queen's Bench DI vision on Thursday heard the case or Adams v. Brodie, the suit of the Rev. Edward Aurelian Adams, of Hove, near Brighton, against Mr Nmian Brodie, of Eastbourne, to recover damages for an alleged misrepresentation in regard to the sale of a share in the Times newspaper. The defendant denied the alleged misrepresentation. The plaintiff's case was that in 1895 the defendant was indebted to bun in the sum of L120. The defendant had a small share in the Times tiewpp,-Alier-natnely, l-litli of 2-Srds of 1-9bh of 2.16ths-a.nd said it was worth about £25 a year. Relying upon that representation, the plaintiff purchased the share for L353. The plaintiff said that after he had purchased the share he found that it was not worth more than £ 17 a year. The defendant denied that he made any such representation to the plaintiff. Before he sold the share to the plaintiff he told him the true facts, namely, that m 1892 his divided was nearly £ 24, and that in 1893 it fell to £ 18 10a. In 1894 the dividend was JB17 3 lid. The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, and assessed the damages at 965. Judgment was given accordingly.

CRIMINALS IN GAOL. REFLECTIONS IN CHAPEL. Recently, says the Hospital, the governor of one of our eouuty prisons was greatly perplexed by the discovery that the female criminals in his charge managed in some mysterious manner to ascertain the presence of every individual man on the other side of the im- pervious dividing barrier which separates the male from the femnle worshippers in the gaol chapel. One of the women inadvertently made an exclaniabion showing that she had suddenly become aware that her husband was within the same walls, although his presenoe ought, according to rule, to have been completely un- known to her. None of the officers could account for an unpermitted knowledge, which was found to be shared by all other women. At last a very careful examination of the chapel gave an explanation of the mystery. Although strictly divided, as we have said, both the male and the female prisoners faced the altar in their seats, and over it had been fixed a very large brass cross against the wall, so highly polished as to form a very good mirror. In its clear surface the women saw the reflection of every man as he passed through to his place, and had enjoyed the spectacle with impunity till the wife's affection overcame her discretion. The brass cross in. stantaneously disappeared, and the, blank wall babied it no longer tells any secrets.

A CYCLE PATENT ACTION .Mr Justice Romer yesterday commenced the hearing of a big cycle patent action, which is expected to last over a week, in tho case of the Pneumatic Tyie Company v. Eist London Rubber Company, brought to restrain defendants infringing plaintiffs' patent kuown as tho Welch patent. Every form of defence in patent actions is relied on. The oyole world is well represented in court, and among the experts present are Lord Kelvin, Sir Frederick Bramwell, and Dr. Hopkiusou.

PROPOSED VINJ CULTIVA- TION IN SOUTH IRELAND. EXAMPLE OF THE MARQUIS OF BUTE TO BE FOLLOWED. An Italiau gentleman, Signor Egidio Vitali, who is concerned in vine growing III Northern Italy, having been recently through those portions ot Southern Ke.ry and Cork whose climate is so largely modified by the iufluenoe of the Gulf Stream striking the south Irish coast, has written to the Earl of Kenmare suggesting that a trial should be given to the culture ot the vine in those dssbricts. He has pointed out to his Lord ship that several trees and shrubs which grow m mild climates ouly thrive in Killarney and other places in the south, which in this respect have the advantage of Northern Italy where the vine flourishes, and he has offered to provide hardy vines from those reerions for experimentali'planting in the districts in Kerry, to which reference has been made. It is worthy of note that the Marquis of Bute has tried a similar experiment in the ineigbbourbood of Cardiff, where, of course, the olimatio conditions are equally favourable to I ita success as those found In South Kerry,

I LATEST MARKETS. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MAKKET. LIVERPOOL, Friday.—Bacon—the po~iti in of the market shews little alteration. The country demand is still of limited extent and prices remained gpnerwllv without change, but there is rather more inslinatiou on the part of holders to shade the price if so doinj» would lead to business. Shoulders vemain quietly steady at late rates. Hams are moving slowly into consumption, and holders being still anxious, sellers' quotations of short cuts bow a further reduction. Lard on the spot is a dull sale, but without change in quotations. Cheese continues in moderate request, and late prices are firmly upheld. Butter moves freely into consumption at prevoous currencies. Ejigs remain the same as last reported. Beef and pork are still a quiet trade, but previons quotations stand un- altered.

LIBERALISM IN SOUTH GLAMOKGAN. ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING AT DINAS. A public meeting of Liberals was held at the Board Schools. Ditias, on Friday evening, for the purpose of reorganising the local section of the South Glamorgan Liberal Association. Mr \V. Richards presided, and among those present were --Councillor Morgan Williams, Porth; Messrs Rawlings, J. Thomas, T. J. Parry, agent and Morg-aa Thomas, secretary South Wales Liberal Federation; and others. A telegram was read from Mr Henry Radchffe, Penarth (who was expected to attend), expressing his regret at being unable to be present owing to bemg in London. The CHAIRMAN, in opening, impressed on his hearers the importance of organising their forces. If this were done he believed that South Glam- organ would agtin returu to the Liberal ranks. (Cheers.) Councillor MORGAN WILLIAMS, speaking in Welsh, said he believed, 111 spite of all the Tories had promised, nothing couid be expected from the present Government to benefit the working classes. Let them stand by the old party of progress and reform. (Cheers.) Mr T. J. PAKRT referied at length to the im- portance of reorganising their forces. Whilst he was the agent he intended to do his best, but be earnestly appealed to the Liberals of South Glamorgan to rise to their duty. (Cheers.) Con- tinuing. Mr Parry dealt with the work of the past Session, showing how the present Government had betrayed their trust. (Cheers). Mr MORGAN THOMAS sevprely criticised the recent utterances of Major WyndhanrQuin with reference to Protection. After all the promises made at the last General Election with regard to agriculture the only thing that was now going to be done was to resort to Protection. (" Shame.") Let them deal with the present land laws if they really wanted to improve the position of the farmer. Dealing with education he (the speaker) believed the time was come when the people of this 0011 ntry must demand from the supporters of these Denominational schools that if they wanted more public funds then they must let the public manage the schools. (Cheers.) In conclusion he urged upon the Liberals of that division to organise and educate themselves. He felt that when the, election came, if this was done, they would win back the seat. (Cheers). A hearty vote of thanks was accorded the speakers.
