'Abergavenny made their first visit to Ebbw Vale on Saturday, when glorious weather prevailed for tlw match. The asylum town team invariably play their games at home, so that it is looked upon as m honour when they play on a strange ground. Mr. Irish, the Vaiian secretary, however, would not be lienied, and after prolonged negotiations, was suc- tessful in getting this crack team to make the jour- fcey. There was a splendid attendance in the held, but there was the usual bunch of "mean sportsmen, who prefer viewing the game from the eminence close to the ground, where their pockets are not afl'tcLed. S. H. Irish and H. J. Wright opened the batting for Ebbw Vale to the bowling of Childs and lames. The scoring was slow, both batsmen playing im the defensive, and helping themselves to a few tuns off stray balis. When he had scored 6 Irish was Lowled by a splendid delivery of Childs. Ca. vana^h joined Wright, and the spectators were treat- ed to good cricket. Wright, after putting together i weii-carned 15, got in front of his wicket in at- tempting to play Wildblood to leg. The decision, nevertheless, was a doubtful one. It. Graham joined Li.vanagh. and soon played himself in. He kept The ball low, and would not be tempted to hit out. Lavanagh, in the meantime, practically monopolised P; scoring. At length he was clean bowled by w'th his share of the score at 20. The score at 55 for three wickets, a fairly good start, tnen L>. j.

Robins-co ntinued to play brilliant cricket, mt was unfortunate in receiving a nasty injury. A »st ball rose from the pitch, and struck him on ihe head. He, fell slightly dazed, but soon re- turned. It was evident, however, that he had had mough. He spooned a ball, which was taken by Lewis. His brilliant innings of 50 included 2 Bxes, 6 fours, 2 threes, 1 two, and o singles. He ras heartily applauded upon his return to the pa- vilion. Churchill did not stay long, the whole side >eing out for the respectable total of 170. It was telt that this useful lead would save Ebbw Vale jrom defeat, and with anything like good luck there ra-s a possibility of winning. Lewis and Webb parted for Abergavenny, the bowlers being Maxted tii<i Churchill. It soon became clear that the bowf- ang was at its best. Runs came very slowly. Lewis wali finely caught by Graham without scoring, and R. Jacobs, one of the visitors' best men. followed,

Helpless for 13 Years. ZAM-BUK RESTORES USE OF ARM AND CURES ABSCESSES AND CHILDREN'S ECZEMA. Mr. William R. Pickles, a master carter, of 1 31, A\ ilbrahara-place, Scotland-road, Liverpool, who is well known about the local markets, gave a Liverpool reporter a graphic a.cconnt of wonderful benefits obtained from Zam-Buk. "Thirteen years ago I was working as a ship's rigger," said Mr. Pickles to the Pressman, "on the Mississippi, at New Orleajis, Louisiana, U.S.A. I went to bed one night with a slight pain in the upper part of my right arm. When I awoke next morning my arm was swollen to an enormous size. I went to the City Hospital, but after three operations I was discharged as incurable. The British Consul at Orleans then • <T u ass'sted me to get back to Liverpool. "I had now lost all tne use of my arm. What was worse, abscesses were continually forming on the arm causing me terrible pain. I went first to the Liverpool Northern Hospital, and then into the Leeds Infirmary in December, 1897. I underwent further operations, but after I had been nine months in this infirmary I was told that my arm would have to come off. Ab- scesses continued to form, and nothing seemed able to heal them or give me ease from the terrible pain. "As Zam-Buk had cured me of piles I began to think that there must be some extraordinary healing power in Zam-Buk, so I decided to give this rare balm a chance on my poor old arm. From the trial application I got much relief. The swelling gradually subsided and finally a piece of bone, about an inch long, forced its way through the skin. The abscess then rapidly disappeared. Zam-Buk healed, up the lacerated flesh P-fe-etly, and I now got back the use of my arm, after 15 years' absolute helplessness. "My four children's faces were terribly dis- filPJisd by eczema. We tried Zam-Buk again, and all four children were soon completely cured. Is it any wonder that we are so enthu. siastic about Zam-Buk?"

An interesting experiment in schoolboy train- ing is being undertaken by the Gas Light and Coke Co., in conjunction with the London County Council. The company will erect a workshop supplied with gasfitting plant, and provide instruction every six months to twelve boys, and the Council will give lessons at the Westminster Technical Institute on two or three afternoons weekly., in mechanical draw- ing, etc. After six months tie boys wiU go out with the gasfitters.

By Royal Fi Warrant r J THE KINO ON HIS HuaiocK UYULK. The announcement that His Majesty the King has been ordered by his medical advisers to resumo cycling, which he dropped a couple of years ago, has been widely commented upon, and people who believe in healthy out- door exercise have taken the King's case as an example to prove their theory. Kinr- Edward possesses three Humber tricycles, and it was his habit to keep one at Buckingham Palace, one at Saoidringhani, and the third at Wind- sor. One of these has recently been returned to Humber. Ltd., Coventry, and has been com- pletely overhauled and renovated for His Maj- esty's use. The King's Humber has three equal- 26in. wheetc,, shod with lgin. wired on Dunlop tyres. A tree wheel is fitted, and a gear of 58in., which many cyclists will con- sider low, particularly in combination with the 7in. cranks which the King- uses; bub it must be borne in mind that the object is comfort and mild exertion, rather than great speed, so that the low gear will be very suitable for the purpose for which this tricycle will be used by its Royal owner. The King affect- a large sund very comfortable saddle—a Brock's B., 90 size 3. The handle-bar is 13in. wide, of raised1 pattern, and rubber pedals are fitted. Two brakes are provided, both hand applied by ex- ternal levers; one is a rim brake on the front wheel, the other a band brako on the rear axle. Fhe machine is beautifully finished and enarn- illed black; the. rims have black centres, plated 1 edges, and red lineSt The t,wjgJ» mejJgtges .ç'

APE:RDARE MAN9S | PAIN IN THE BACK & LOINS, | STIFFNESS OF THE JOINTS, j DIZZINESS, AFFECTED SIGHT. I Mr.William Hill/55, Harriet-street, Trecynon, Aberdare, says A se- vere cold I had settled in my kidneys, and caused cruel stab-like pains in the small of my back and across my loins. I work underground, and have a lot of lifting and bending, which a painful back made very diffi- cult. All my joints were stiff; my eyes were affected-there was a kind of mist before them, and I was dizzy. "I was persuaded to try Doan's backache kidney pills, and after taking about half a box I found they were doing me good. A short course of the medicine drove away the pains, and I am better now than I have been for a long while. Doan's pills are splendid for the kidneys."

but he could do little with the bowling, and was content to keep his end up. Webb, who was never comfortable, was clean bowled by Maxted, and Wiidolood replaced him. A most useful stand was made by the pair, and some good cricket was seen. The fielding was very keen. A double change of bowling was tried, Dai Davies and Williamson tak- ing the ball, and it was immediately effectivo. Dai Davies was in excellent form, keeping a perfect length, and varying the speed. He played havoc with the remainder of the batsmen. He clean bowl- ed Jacobs, Wildblood, H. Childs. and James, and had the remarkable average of live wickets for 7 runs. Williamson also did well. accounting for Belcher and Llewellyn, Graham taking the latter at point with a fine catch low down. The whole side were out for 78, or 92 rung in arrears. The achievement is an excellent one, and Capt Graham and his team are to be heartily congratulated. Swres Ebbw Valo. H. J. Wright, lbw, b Wildblood 15 S. H. Irish, b H. Childs 6 J. Cavanagh, b H.
