BARRY LICENSING SESSIONS. A TWO DAYS' SITTING. ALL APPLICATIONS REFUSED. THE BREWERS GO AWAY DESPONDENT On Thursday afternoon, the 26th imbut, the following applications, in addition to those already published in our la,.t issue, were heard at the Barry Licensing ""iolJS WOODLANDS HOTEL. Mr W. ])"Dma:i Bens >n appeared on behalf of Mr John JeAt-1 Williams, formerly landlord of the Royal Hotel, Cad-xtou, for a provisional license for an lw'el proposed to be erected in oo.iland- road, Barry 1),)ck. This was opposed by Mr Arthur Lewis. Mr A. M. Ingledew, Mr Roberts, and Mr A. Jackson. Mr Benson stated, in the couise of his opening ren:a: ks, that foi a. popu- lation of 11,71*2 v Dock, there were only four licensed house*, and t;:ese were distant from t:w proposed hotel as follows:—V ictoi ia Hotel, 400 yards; Wi.ds r Hoiel, 466 yards; Bassett Arms, 966 yards and Bairy Dock Hotel, 1 000 van's. Mr George Thomas, architect and MI• vevor. induced the plans of the building, and ttat"d tis;«t there would he a population to be acc Jinmo !at d by the present budding of at_ least •J,81. and in the course of the past year ,o■ new houses had bee., erected. The house will be p.acecl m the main 1. y between ffol toti roa(i to Upper Barry-road. The area of the site of the bmlding is 1,636 squaie yards the proposed A exanora Hotel l,eit,g on a site of ;)40 yards, with no cli b-rooin or stabling accommodation.—Mi John Jewel Williams, the applicant, said he hoped the iiou.e wou'd be eotii[)I(.t, d by February next. The preel,t application was refused last year. \t the pr^se;.t time i-e rect ive.1 a year as rent (f the Royal Hotel, Cadoxton, which lie o,A,ned.-Nii- house agent, who has resided near the s;v t f, i, the past ten j'ears, thought the ero'.ul d ,-t .'<• of the Victoria Hotel was a sufficient justification f r the n< c ssity of a t JLI,tif,(,L this license.—The Rev J. C. Honey was called in t is s, -Ti, opposition, and said he had been put to great trouble to ascertain the opinj, IlS of the peopl • of the various streets in the locality, but his evidence was not allowed as being only hearsay evidence.— This licens:! was evenrna ly refuse 1. THE .\LE" !¡}: HuTEL. Mr W. F. Harries app iud for a license in respect of his house in Woodiands-ioad, Mr Arthur Lewis appearing on his t) Mr Benson raised an objection that in;'smuc.i as the house had only just been comment' d the. 11 >tice setting forth that a full license would be applied for was invalid, and it was, therefore, withdrawn, Mr Lewis stating that this would come up again at the adjourned sessions, after fresh notices had been issued. OSBOKN'T: HOTEL, CADOXTON". Mrs M. A. Forsdyke, late of the Clarence Hotel, Cardiff, applied for a provisional grant in respect of at) hotel vropos- d to lie erect d near the bottom of We.-ton H b, t-> be called the Osborne Hotel, and upon winch between CS,000 and £9,000 is about to be spent. Mr Arthur Lewis appeared in support of the application, which was opposed by Mr Rhys Williams, Mr JohoJ Sankey. Mr George David, Mr J. J. Harulcock, and Mr J. H. Jones, on b, half of various persons interested. In this case formal objections weie taken by Mr J. H. Jones and Mr J. Sankey to the formal notices, and it being provt d that there was a doubt as to whether the notice was actually posted on any part of the premises, it eventually resulted in the withdrawal of the application, which, it is under- stood, will be brought on at the adjourned licensing sessions. The Court rose after sitting for over six hours, and the remaining nine applications will be heard to-morrow. FRIDAY'S APPLICATIONS. The Sessions were c ntiriiie(I on Friday last, the attendance of the general public not being as large as on the previous day, although there was again a strong muster of the legal fraternity, brewers and their agents, ministers, and supporters of the temperance movement. The justices on the Bench were Mr J. S Batchelor (chairman), Mr O. H. Jones, Colonel Thornley, Colonel Guthrie, Alder- man J. C. Meggitt, Messrs Lewellen Wood, John Lowdon, W. Thomas (Barty), R. Bevan (Penarth), and Dr E, Treh-irne. The following were the ap- plications considered :— COURT HOTEL, BARRY DOCK. There were three applications for licenses in respect of houses in Cour t-road, and each proposed to be called the Court Hotel." The first of these to be brought forward was a provisional grant applied for by Mr Thomas Sidney Lloyd in respect of a home Hearing completion which is being erected at a cost of about £ 5,000. Mr Arthur Lewis appeared fur the applicant and amongst those in opposition were Nli, Rhys Williams for a rival ap- plicant Councillor White (Cardiff) for Mr B Hoddinott, of the Witchill Hotel Mr J. J. Hand- cock for Mr Brcoks, of the Royal Hotel Mr A. Jackson for a rival applicant aud Mr Roberts (of the firm of Messrs Lloyd-George, Roberts and George) on behalf of residents iu the immediate vicinity. The building is situate a distance of 350 yards from the Witchell Hotel, 450 from the Royal Hotel, and 1,100 from the Wiudsor Hotel. There were 166 houses within easy distance, and 95 in couise of erection, and plots had been let for the erection of about 400 houses on the estate so that taking it at an allowance of 6 persons for each house, there would be a population of 1,500 people and at the present time there was considerable over-crowding in the adjacent hotels. Mr H. T. Thornley produced the plans of the buildings, suitable stable accommodation being provided. ) leply to Mr Rhys Williams, this witness ad- mitted that there was a chapel on either side of the hotel, each being 40 yanis away. There were ],080 inhabitants residing nearer this building than any existing hotel. Mr Thomas Lloyd, the ap- plicant, a traveller in the employ of Mes-rs Han- cock, admitted that the agreement (produced) would not be binding unless he obtained the license. Messrs Hancock already leased the Royal Hotel, Cadoxton, and owned the Bassett Arms Hotel, but witness could nat say whether they promoted the application in respect of the proposed Queen's Hotel. Mr Benjamin Hoddinott, of the Witchell Hotel, was examined in opposition, aud denied that he had had any complaint of insufficiency of accommodation- Mr W. Walters, grocer, Cadox- ton, deposed as to the effect of the public-house upon the services, and the disturbance usually created at a pubiic-house was not by any means conducive to worship. The application was eventually refused. YUKES'TJ HOTEL, CADOXTON. Mr J. H. Jones, solicitor, Cardiff, appeared on behalf of Mr Thomas Miles, Penarth, for an appli- cation for a provisional license, or as an alternative a full license, in respect of premises situate at the bottom of Wtston-hill, Cadoxon, which are bor- llering on completion. There was considerable opposition in this instance, among those being Mr 6 9 Rhys Williams, Mr C. E. Parsons. Mr Arthur Lewis, illiss Jenner, and Mr Robeits. Mr J. H. Jones, at the suggestion of the Bench, agreed to confine his application to a provisional gr uit. The building is situate ou the junction of Vere-stree; and Cardiff-road, Holton-hill, and Weston-hill, one of which was an importaut road leading to the lower portions of the town of Barry Dock. The hotel wa-' itirite 1 in a di triet that had a popula- tion of M00 persons, served by the Wenvoe Arms Hotel iit the extreme end of the locality. The house belonged to Messrs W. Hancock and Co., Limited, and would co-t about C4,600, Mr Richards, aichitect, produced plans and sketches of tlie building, which would in every respect pro- vide ample public accommodation but in cross examination witness admitted that there was no smoke-room or stock room.—Mr Arthur Lewis (to witness): You have 110 coffee room citlict- ?-Ir J. S. Batchelor It is only a brewer's house, Mr L-.iwL and they never provide a coffee room. (Laughter.)—In cross-examination by Mr Rhys Williams this witin ss stated that although there was a considerable frontage to the hotel, half of its length nas only one room wide. The Wenvoe Arms Hotel had been considerably extended during the lJa"t year. In re-examination witness stated that there was no stock room connected with the majority of the hotels in the neighbourhood. Philip Hill, auctioneer, afforded particulars as to the estate being laid out in the vicinity. Pints for about 200 buildings were let in addition to the present dwellings. The Wenvoe Arms v a • 315 yards distant and the Bassetc Arms 534 yards. The Bench intimated while the case was proceed- i, g ttiat owing to the structural arrangements of the house they could not grant the application. SKA VIEW HOTEL. Th next application was in respect of i his pro- posed hotel, to he erected in Dock View-road, Barry Dock, Mr Arthur Lewis appearing on behalf of the applicant (Mr Alban Richards). There was opposition again offered in this case. Mr Rhys Williams raised a preliminary objection to the notic-s as being out of ordei, inasmuch as the building had not been completed, and in that respect it full lic( nee could not be applied for. — Mr Arthur Lewis said he would call evidence as to the state of the building n ?w, and then it would be for the Bench to decide as to the legality of the notice Mr Richards, architect, stated that at the end of the building there was no roof, aud the application consequently fell through. CASTLE HOTEL. This was a provision il gnnt in respect of a building which will b; erec ed at a cost of £5,000, on the corner of Jewel-street and M rel-street, Barry Dock, the applicant being Nlr Artliut- Seaton, for whom Mr Khy.s Williams appeared. The popu- lation around this building is over 1,200 persons, and for four houses there was an aggregate popula- tion of 11,713 persons. This would be a "free" house. Tile plans were produced by Mr George Thomas, architect, Cardiff and Barry, who stated that the new building would have a frontage to .J ewd-street of 122ft., and 39ft. to Morel-stieet. During the past six months between 50 and 60 houses have been erected, and there v. as room for a considerable number in addition. Thomas Mordeeai spoke of the crowded sfate of the Bassett Arms Hotel on each occasion when he had visbed it, but in cross-examination admitted that he had never compl line I of this to the proprietor. Arthur S'aton, of the Ivy Bush Hotel, Pontypridd, the applicant, said there was an agreement between himself and his father as to erecting the house, and he intended 10 conduct it personally.—The Rev Llechidoi. Williams, as the owner of a gr< at part of Morel-street, was called in opposition by Mr F. P. Jones-Lloyd, and said he strongly objec- ted to the proposed house as a means of depreciating the value of the property in that street. —Mr Roberts, solicitor, called John Williams, house a^cut, of Castleland-street, Barry Dock, who also considered that if the present licence w« re granted it would have an effect similar to that sta'<l by the last witness. The licence was eventually refused. COURT HOTEL, CADOXTON. Mr John Sankey, on behalt of Wrin. Jenkins, applied for a provisional licence in respect of a budding proposed to be erected on a site in Quarrella-street, Cadoxton, to be called the Court Hotel. The opposition in this case was repre- sented by iNIr Riivs Williams, Mr J. H. Jones, Mr Alfred Jackson, and Mr Roberts. Mr John Harding described the character of the propossd hotel, the cost of which was about E3,000, and pointed out the area which it was proposed to serve, the population or which was 1,700. The application was eventually refused. CADOXTON" HOTEL. Thomas Starkey applied for a provisional licence in respect of premises to be altered and now in existence situate near Vere-street, Cadoxton, arid for which numerous applications have been pre- viously made. Mr C. E. Parsons represented the applicant, and stated that the hotel would cover an area of 900 yards, and have a frontage to Vere- street of about 60 feet. The original cost of the building was £4,300, and for the additions 1:500, without furnishing. Mr Rhys Williams cross- examined witness in opposition, and ascertained that the premises were 246 yards distant from the Royal Hotel, and had no less than six entrances. It was also elicited that the plans had not been submitted to the District Couiicit.-Mi- Starkey said the premises had been erected in 1886, and once obtained a preliminary sanction for a licence, but it was not confirmed. In his capacity as brewer he did not propose to hold the premises tied to the sale of his beer, and although there were already two clubs conducted on the premises, he preferred paying licence duty. (Laughter.)—This licence was also refused without calling upon the opposition. THE THIRD OF THE COURT HOTELS. Mr Rhys Williams appeared for Thomas Da vies, an applicant for a provisional licence in respect of proposed premises to be erected near Couitenay- road and Quarrella-s reet, Cadoxton, to bj also called the Court Hotel. This is the third time that the application has been before the Bench, and on previous occasions the grant was refused owing to the difficulty of access, which was now non-existent. The building was surround-d oy a population of 1,755, and in its immediate vicinity were 270 houses. The Barry Dock Town Syndicate had placed a hoarding over the roadway, and this, it was contended, was illegal, the syndicate rendering itself liable to an action in respect thereof.—Mr F. Cibson, architect and surveyor, Poutypridd, stated that the proposed hotel was 530 yards from the envoe Arms Hotel, 570 yards from the R-yal Hotel, 700 yards from the Witchell, and 600 yards from the Bas-ett Hotel, all licensed housts. The land at the rear of the hotel was laid out for an additional 250 houses.—Cross-examined by Mr John Sankey There had been 50 houses built since last year at Beatrice-road and Miilward-road. The site was not in a ravine as suggested by counsel, and was the centre of a great population. Mr J. H. Jose appeared to oppose on behalf of Dr Millward, the ground landlord, and upon this being intimated the Bench considered it of no e use proceeding with the application, which was refused. TWO REMAINING A I'I'UCATIONS WITHDRAWN. Mr Alfred Jaekson, solicitor, stated that the application of Mr T. H. lanett in respect of a provisional grant- for the proposed Cainsborough Hotel in Court-road would be for the presetit %t illi- drawn, and another application by William Jenkins for a provisional grant did not come forward. THE SESSIONS ADJOURNED. Shortly before 5 o'clock the Bench intimated that the sessions would be adjourned until Wed- nesday, September 22nd, at Penaith. BARRY RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS. The total returns from passenger, goods, and mineral traffic for the week ending Aug- ust 2Stb, 1897, amounted to X7,046, as com- pared with 16,688 in the corresponding week of last year.
BARRY TRADES' COUNCIL.
BARRY TRADES' COUNCIL. THE ENGINEERS' DISPUTE. SUPPORT FOR THE STRIKERS. The fortnightly meeting of the Barry Trades and Labour Council was held on Friday evening last at the Glamorgan Restaurant, Barry Dock, the president (Mr T. Evans) in the chair. THE ENGINEERS' STRIKE. A circular letter was read from the Bristol Trades Council appealing for financial support in aid of the engineers on strike in their fight 1 for an eight-hour day, and asking this Council, recognising the importance of the struggle and its value to the whole of the workers of the country, to pledge itself to do its utmost to help them to win the battle.—Ihe Chairman pointed out that there were still about 20,000 or 22,000 men out in the North, and during last week about £ 300 had been sent to the London office from the Barry branch in aid of the strikers, and on the previous Monday his branch, the No. 1, Barry branch of the Engineers' Society, had received at the lodge meeting nearly S50 towards the same object, and he considered the engineers of Barry were doing very well. The report issued by the Engineers' Society in June last showed that they had a reserve fund of £ '365,000, but it was the intention of the executive to fight the battle without expending any of that amount, and to carry on the strike by means of the special levies. -Mr F. Walls urged the delegates to bring the matter before their branches with the view of securiug their executive councils to take action on behalf of the engineers. The Carpenters and Joiners' Society were making a levy on its members right throughout the country, and it was their duty to support the strikers, as all trades unions had learned the lessons of amalgamation from the engineers of the couiitry.-Air S. J. Martyn remmked that the Operative Bricklayers' Society had taken a vote, and he believed that it had by this time been decided to make a grant of X500 towards the Amalgamated Society of Engineers. —Mr Murphy, of the Iron Founders' Society, moved that the Council thank the Bristol Trades Council for taking the initiative in endeavouring to procure financial aid for the engineers, and also pledge themselves to support the strikers. Mr Murphy slated that a vote was being taken I that day as to whether their organisation should affiliate with the eight hours' strike committee, but the result would not be made known until the following Wednesday week. If the members decided to join the committee named, it would mean a withdrawal of all their men employed in the federated shops, so that until the result was made known their branches could not move any resolution recommending the executive to move in the matter. As far as he could learn, however, the majority of the members at Barry and Cardiff bad voted in favour of federa- ting with the eight hours' strike committee, but the workmen of Lancashire, and Yorkshire, and the North east coast, where their member- ship was very strong, would practically deter- mine the matter. He f-aw no reason why the iron founders should stand aside in a struggle of this magnitude, especially as it affected them as much as the engineers, and they would reap the same benefit. If the vote should, however, be a negative one, be did not believe any society would give better financial assist- ance to the engineers than his society. (Hear, hear.)—Mr 11. Hughes seconded, and pointed out the need for a national federation of all trades.—Toe resolution was then carried with- out a dissentient. THE TRADES UNION CONGRESS. A communication having been read from Mr J. Curie, secretary of the Bristol Trades Coun- cil, asking this Council to assist, as far as lay in its power, to secure the holding of the Trades Union Congress next year at Bristol, it was decided to approach the representatives from the Barry district, asking them to favour that place at the election, and Mr J. Thomas, presi- dent of the Coaltrimmers' Union, who was in attendance, and who intends being present at the congress, said he would be pleased to give his vote for Bristol. REGISTRATION OF RULES. The committee appointed to revise the rules of the Council, with the view of having the same registered, now presented their report, and the members having agreed to a number of alterations, the secretary was directed to for- ward immediately the amended rules to the Registrar-General for approval. TIIE NAVVIES' STRIKE. Mr John Ward reported as to the progress of the navvies' strike, and drew the attention of the Council to another rumoured importation of ''free" labour into the district, particulars of which are given in another column. NEW DELEGATE. The credential of Mr C. W. Gilbert, as dele- gate from the Barry branch of the National Labourers' Union, was accepted.

REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH GLAMORGAN.
REPRESENTATION OF SOUTH GLAMORGAN. LIBERAL AND RADICAL ASSOCIA- TION DECIDES. THE FUTURE CANDIDATE ALDERM AN W. H. MORGAN UNANI- MOUSLY SUPPORTED. A PENARTH QUIBBLE. The special meeting of the Barry Liberal and Radical Association, convened for the purpose o considering the recommendation of the Executive Committee of the South Glamorgan Liberal Five Hundred, and held on Saturday evening last at the Dolphin Restaurant, Barry Dock, was largely attended, the proceedings throughout being characterised by great hearti- ness. Mr J. Blainey was voted to the chair, in the absence of the president (Mr W. Graham), and among those present were the Revs W. Williams, T. Pandy John, and L. Ton Evans; Councillor W. Paterson, Messrs R- G. Russell (secretary), J. Rocli (assistant secretary), E. B. Smith-Jones, J. A. Manaton, Luen, T. Thomas, J. Rocb, R. G. Russell, Lewis Evans, I T. Evans, president of the Barry Trades Coun- cil P. C. Oskins, T. J. Thomas, solicitor; J. W. Joues, J. Murray, Lemuel Thomas, T. Williams, W. Miles, W. Kelly, &c., &c. ALDERMAN MORGAN AND THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION. Mr H. n. Russell reported that in reply to a letter which he had been directed to forward to Alderman W. Jr. Morgan by the members of the Executive Committee, he had received the following communication :— Pump House Hntel, Llandrindod Wells, 24th August, 1897. "Dear Mr Russell,—Your letter has been for- warded to me here. I have for more thr.n 10 y'rs publicly deelareit myselt m favour ot JLocil Up'icn, without compensation, and I have been supported in the County Council elections by the leaders of the tempeiauce party in my own town. I was always supported in North Wales by the whole of the temperance party. I am not a Uetotdler, but my sympathy is with total ab- stain'rs, and I always gin. preference to an abstainer when selecting clerks or servants. The last partner I engaged is a strict teetotaller, I am entirely in accord with the temperance programme of the Liberal party and with the whole of the legislation proposed by the late Government. Believe me, 11 Youis very truly, WALTER H. MORUAN." The Chairman stated that another letter had been received from the secretary h the Penarth Liberal Association (Mr Llewellyn Davies), stating that that body had considered the communication from Mr J. T. Parry, the Liberal agent, and had passed a resolution which condemned the action of the Executive Committee in causing the recom- mendation of Alderman W. H. Morgan to be submitted to the various Associations, as being contrary to the constitution. The action of the Executive Committee was very lengthily and lucidly explained by the Rev Win. Williams, Rev T. Pandy John, and Mr E. B. Smith-Jones as being the best method of carrying out the constitution, and the members generally expressed their gratitude t.) the Executive Committee for affording such a judicious and liberal interpretation upon the constitution. The Rev T. Pandy John moved that this Association instructs its delegates on the Five Hundred to afford their unqualified support to the recommendation of the Executive Com- mittee, and in the course of a lengthy address, which was frequently applauded, remarked that the Committee had expended a great amount of tims and trouble, and after six months of careful and patient labour, they bad come to their decision that in the interests of Liberalism and Radicalism and Labour—three interests that must be served in the constituency—the selection was the best that could possibly be made. Alderman W. H. Morgan was not an ideal man, and even according- to some views held by himself, he did not attain the state of ideality which he personally desired, yet any small matters respecting that gentleman should be discarded if ho was generally the man most likely to win the seat. (Applause.) Many interests that had a tendency to separate many of their supporters were united in Alderman Morgan, and they should all pledge themselves to render him every support in their power, in the hope that the seat would be regained, and the cause which they had so dear to heart be again in the ascendant. (Applause.) Mr P. C. Oskins briefly seconded the propo- sition. Mr E. B. Smith-Jones also supported the resolution, and, in the course of his remarks, stated that Alderman Morgan had declared himself a supporter of the programme of tho Liberal party as proposed by the late Govern- ment, and that surely should be sufficient. Mr Morgan bad been tried elsewhere, and proved 0 himself a sturdy Radical, and an enthusiast in the cause of Liberalism and Labour, and that was an indication of the sort of thing that might be expected from him. (Applause.) The resolution was then put to the meeting and carried unanimously and with acclamation.
------------BILLIARD MATCHES…
BILLIARD MATCHES AT BARRY DOCK. On Friday last, in the presence of a large number of spectators, a billiard exhibition was given at the Barry Dock Hutel, ILrry Dock, when W. Mitchell, the celebrated cueist, and G. Sexton, of Cardiff, played a game of 1,600 up, the former conceding his opponent 600 points. The game proved very interesting throughout, Mitchell's chief contribu- tions being breaks of 144, 126, and 100 (twice), Sexton's highest compilation being 76. At the close of play in the afternoon the scores stood- Sexton, 834 Mitchell, 801. At the cb-se the scores read—Mitchell, 1,600 Sexton, 1,375 the former thus winning by 225 points. The resident marker of the hotel (Mr W. Doxey) A as in charge of the scoring board. On Monday afternoon and evening another billiard match came off at the Windsor Hotel, Barry Dock, between \V. Mitchell, the association champion, and Aithur Llewellyn, the champion of Wales, the game being 1,500 up, spot barred, Llewellyn to receive 500 stait. Some capital displays were nr-ide by both contestants, aud Mitchell Cdme ont winner amid enthusiastic applause. Mitchell's breaks included 65, 90, 62, 96, 152, 53, 51, 85, and 97 (in play). The breaks made by Llewellyn in- cluded 42, 87, 10S. 50, and 62. Mr 1. Janfrs, of the Barry Dock Conservative Club, recorded the breaks in the afternoon, and Mr W. J. Sims, Barry Dock, in the evening.
ATHLETIC NOTES.
ATHLETIC NOTES. [BY ATHLETE.] Football will be commenced in real earnest in the Barry district on Saturday next. The Barry District Association Football Club held their initial practice at the Witchill Grounds on Saturday last, and will open the season's u atches on the lltli instant, the final trial match being held on Saturday next. J. Wood- field, last season's captain, is the only old player not available, whilst they have secured the assistance of several new players (including three from Gloucester), who will undoubtelly I strengthen the team, and help to make the Barry District club the foremost socker club in South Wales. The Barry Rugby club will hold their first practice match on Saturday at the Buttrills Ground, and will not, therefore, commence their fixture list for a fortnight. With the exception of E. Jones, all the old players are in the dis- trict, but it is questionable whether Fearnley, Radcliffe, or Clemence will assist their old club. T. Jones, despite the rumours of his intending depariure to Huddersfield, will captain the first xv, but it will be easier to comment on their prospects for the season after Saturday's practice match, when most of those who intend to assist the club will, no doubt, turn out. The second string, captained by F. Dyer, should make a much better reserve for the first team than was the case last year. They have now an assistant-secretary, whose duty it will be to provide fixtures, etc., for them, and thus the great drawback of last season has been re- moved. It is no encouragement to any team to be without matches for three or four consecutive weeks through the club not providing an is- sistant-secretary for them,—this was the way the seconds were treated last season; the Secretary himself was overworked, and thus they were allowed to drop out of exist* nee. This should not happen again, in the interests f the club, for it should not be forgotten that those who figure in the seconds now must, in another season or so, take the places of mem- bers of the premier team when they get into the sear and yellow leaf (of football life). The Cadoxton Football Club are, apparently, in no way disheartened by the reverses of last season, and will again make a bid for ilie Mallet Shield and Medals (Cardiff and District Kugby Union), and will also compete in the League matches played under the auspices of the same Union for medals alone. Mr G. Jones, last year's captain, has been re-elected, with T. Hooper as his vice, and the club will hold their first practice on Saturday. Their ground, this season, will probably be the old United ground at Palmerstown. That smart junior organization, the Barry Dock Crusaders, who only lost about two matches l ist season are again in evidence. They have secured the old ground of the Barry club, which, although by no means an ideal football patch, is a decided improvement on their ''mud-hill" of last year, and will open the season with every prospect of success before them. Last season they were disappointed, time after time, in their home matches, and it is hoped they will not have such an un- pleasant experience so often this season. A special meeting of the Cardiff and District Football Union was held in Cardiff on last Monday evening, when the Barry Seconds (who intend entering the District League this season) and the Cadoxton Crescents were represented by Mr W. J. Blainey and Messrs Davies, Dure, and Jones respectively. The chief i tom of business (besides the consideration of the rules) was the arranging of league matches, and a second meeting will be held on Friday (to-nigtt) to complete the arranging of the same. A general meeting of tbe Barry District As- sociation Football Club will be held at the Witchill Hotel on Tuesday evening next, at 8 p.m. The following is the Barry (first) fixture list for the ensuing season- DATE OPPONENTS GROUND.

PENRHYN QUARRY DISPUTE.
PENRHYN QUARRY DISPUTE. WORK RENEWED. Wednesday saw the finishing touches given to the termination of the great Penrhyn Quarry dispute, and from 6 t) 7 a.m. the long village street and all the country lanes leading to the quarry resounded with the clang of the heavy boots of many hundreds of quarrymen and boys tramping to renew the work they bad simul- taneously dropped 11 long months ago, and in a very short space of time the gigantic works were swarming with men and boys. It is found the workings are in a fearful state, and that a con- siderable time must elapse before anything like straightforward working can be carried on as before. The weather is wet and cold.

There was a mine of truth in a remark made by Mr J. S. Batchelor, the chairman of the magistrates sitting at the Licensing Sessions at Birry Dock last week. Mr Arthur Lewis, B.L., had been cross-examining the architect of the proposed Queen's Hotel, Carl oxton, and at length asked him if a coffee-room had been provided. The architect replied in the negative, and Mr Batchelor then observed that it was only a brewer's house, and they did not want to provide coffee there. A correspondent writes A strong testimony of the glaring inconsistency of the Licensing Laws is the fact that 54 house-owners in WToodlantl-road, Barry Dock,—in fact, all the residents, with the exception of two-are opposed to licenses being granted to the proposed Woodlaud and Alexandra Hote's, and still some money-grabbing and dis- interested persons endeavour to force upon the people these dens of iniquity, which, even by the construction of the buildings, can be seen as being only intended to be used as common drinking bars.

MR. CLIFFORD CORY AND HIS…
MR. CLIFFORD CORY AND HIS RATES. WHO IS THE TENANT OF PORTH- KERRY HOUSE? At Barry Dock Police Court on Monday last (before Dr Neale, Dr E. Treharne, and Mr W. Thomas), a ca«e was again brought forward in which Mr Clifford Cory was summoned for the non-payment of XS 158 to the overseers of the parish of Porthkerry, as poor rates in respect of Porthkerry House, garden, greenhouse, cotfnge, pleasure grounds, and woods attached. Mr H. M. Ingledew appeared for the defendant. Richard Loughor, assistant overseer, gave evidence as to the demand having been made for the amount, which had not been paid.—In cross-examination, this witness stated that he considered the whole of the property assessed was occupied at the present time. The fur- niture belonged to Lord Romilly.—Mr Ingledew I put it to you that no portion of it is occupied except the cottage ?—Witness The cottage, garden, greenhouse, and furniture are all being paid for by Mr Cory. -Mr Ingledew Is the house ,ccul)ied--Il-itness: I don't say anything about it.—Mr Ingledew: Is the garden kept up ?—Witness I know that it is kept up near the pathway; and in the green- bouse there is as good a cucumber as ever you saw in your life. (Laughter.) Witness further stated that he did not know whether anyone lived in Porthkerry House, but the gardener lived in the cottage. Mr Cory had been sued in February last in respect of poor rates, and the case was then dismissed. The name of the gardener was placed on the overseers' list last I year, but it had been removed this year. Mr Ingledew, for the defence, submitted that during the whole period covered by the rate there had been no occupation by Mr Clifford Cory. The cottage was rented by the gardener, aud the only portion to be rated was that building, and this should have been separately assessed. Alfred Durbin, the gardener, was called, and stated that the house had been vacated by the Cory family in September, 1895. Witness lived in the cottage and used the produce from the garden himself. None of this was sold or sent to Mr Cory, who received no benefit at all from the premises. There was furniture in the house which belonged to Lord Homilly, aud there was some clothes upon the beds, but he could not say whether these belonged to the estate or not. The Bench considered that the question as to the owner- ship of the contents of the building should be proved, and, on the application of Mr Ingledew the case was adjourned for that purpose.
