IMPERTINENT DEFEN DANT. SCENE AT THE FORTH COITJSTY- COURT. At Porth. on Friday quite a. scene was enacted in a case heard before his Honour Judge Gwilym Williams, in which l John Jones, a. farmer, of Cemetery-road, TreaLaw, sued a man named John Dwyer for X7 10s. in respect of a number of sheep alleged to have been worried by defendant's dog. The defendant continually interrupted Mr. A. Thomas James, who represented the plain- tiff, and the judge .ntervened. "You had better hold your tongue, or I will order you down below," remarked hie Honour. "Quite right, sir," was defeinkuit's re- joinder. The Judge (angrily): WiU you hold your tongue? The Defendant: I will, if yon a.re willing. (Laughter.) The Judge: It is not a, case of my being willing. I am a&king yon to hold your tongue, or I will order you down. The Defendant: You oau't do so; that is not justice. Defendant was then* at the request of the judge, taken down to the oells, where he had to remain a short time, when the Judge re- called him. Upon his return into court the Judge asked defendant: "Are you goimg to behave yourself now?" The Defendant: I don't think I have done anything wrong, sir. The Judge: Oh, yes, you have. The Defendant. In what way, sir? The Judge: I am not going to argue with you. The Defendant: How am I going to answer questions and hold my tongue? (At the same time holding the tip of his tongue.) i The Judge: Wha.t do you mean by taking hold of your tongue? You are getting imper- tinent now. You had better take care what you are about. Further evidence having been given, his Honour then gave judgment for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed, with costs. The defendant again became demonstrative, and was protesting that he would not pay a penny when court officials took him outside.

LOSS OF THE KING DAVID I NEWPORT AND CARNARVON SEA- MEN'S FATAL TRIP. A narrative of the adventures of the I shipwrecked crew of the Glasgow ship King David has been received. by Mr. Robson, I of South Shields, whose son was an appren- tice on board. The ill-fated ship was lost on the west coast of Vancouver in December last, after driving ashore on what is known as Bajo Reef. The crew managed to reach the lonely and desolate beach, and, fortu- nately, were able to eave the provisions, otherwiBe they must have all died from star- vation, as they were detained on the island I 33 days before succour arrived. During the stay some of the crew met an Indian, who told them that no succour would come to the camp till March. Eventually Captain Davidson called for volunteers to man the lifeboat to proceed to Cape Beale. Chief-officer Wollstein, of New Zealand, Seaman Rogers (Liverpool), H. G. Rayner (Newport), Evan Jones (Carnarvon), Martin Pederson (Norway), J. Poda. (Den- mark), and P. Sorrensen responded, and on December 21 the craft was launched. The other seamen shook hands with their com- rades, and shoved them off. watohing the boat till it disappeared on ite journey of 100 miles. It was never heard of afterwards. I As the days passed the men began to despair, fearing they were doomed to remain there for months. Preparations were, in fact, being made to get a second lifeboat to seek help, when, to their great joy, a steamer was seen n-eariiig the point of the island. She proved to be the Queen City. whose captain had sighted the wrecked King David, with her tattered sails and flags fly- ing. The men subsequently quitted their home on the beach, and were warmly re- ceived on the Queen City.

THE CARDIFF WATERWORKS. ESTIMATED EXPENDITURE FOR I THE ENSUING YEAR. A meeting of the Cardiff Waterworks Committee was held on Friday, Alder- man David Jones presiding, when the engineer (Mr. C. H. Priestley) presented the estimates. for the year ending March 31, 1907. The net total estimated expenditure was given at 16,136, as compared with an estimated expenditure of X7,151 durin.g 1906, and an actuaJ expenditure of £ 6,950 in 1905. A sum of £ 500 was set down for public work during 1907, as compared with an actual expenditure of C210 in 1905, but it was estimated that £ 1,500 would be received next year for work done and includ- ing sundry sales, as against Z693 received in 1905 and L600 in 1906 The estimates were */dopted.

MARRIED A WIDOWER. I UNHAPPY COUPLE AT FLEUR-DE- LIS. At Blackwood on Friday Thomas j Phillips, of F'¡ur-¿e-IJG. was summoned by liis wife, Agne." Phillips, for assault and battery on the 29th ult. Mr. Thoriit,3, Argoed, appeared for the defence, and invited the complainant to yo back and live with her husband. The complainant, however, absolutely declined the offer, and said that the defen- dant was continually ill-trcatiug her, and depriving her of food, to give the children. of his first wife. On the day of the assault he locked her out ot the house. In cross-examination, complainant admitted tha.t she was formerly a, housekeeper with the defendant, and in consequence of a sug- gestion she made to him he married her. SIki denied having threatened to kilt her husband'# children, "although, worse luck," she said* I have threatened to cut my own throat," She bad been advertising in the Westurn Mail" for a situation as house- keeper. Complainant had no witnesses to call, and in their absence the caee was dismissed.

GROCER WOUNDED. DISTURBANCE IN A BUTE- STREET SHOP. A Cardiff grocer named Constantine Kara- gianis, of 36, Bute-street, was injured in the eye on Friday night, at a fried fi.s.1) shop. Some disturbance was going on at the shop, which is also situated in Bute^-street, and Karagianis received a blow in the eye with a ginger-beer bottle. He is also said to have been slightly stabbed near the eye with a, knife. The police have arrested a man on suspicion of causing the injury.

ODIOUS CRIME AT BRISTOL. BLACKMAILER SENT INTO PENAL SERVITUDE. STERN CONDEMNATION BY THE JUDGE. A grave charge was involved in a case concluded at Bristol Assizes on Friday (before ,Mr. Justice Bucknill), Frederick Hammond Cook being indicted for alleged forgery and attempting to levy blackmail on Dr. Richard Eager. Mr. Charles Mathews prosecuted for the Treasury; Mr. John O'Connor, M.P., defended Dr. Richard Eager, with his brother, carries on a. private lunatic asylum at Winterbourne. Prisoner was engaged as butler, statmg that j his last employer was a gentleman of Chard. Somerset; but the letter, to that effect, said I counsel, wad a forgery. After consultation between counsel, the most Attious indictments were withdrawn, and pri- finer pleaded guilty to demanding money j with menace, with intent to steal. His I counsel said that prisoner wished to with- draw entirely and unequivocally the allega-. tions which were sought to be placed by I interpretation, on his letters, as he did not; intend to allegv the full offence. Prisoner was found guilty on the minor charge, and his counsel pleaded for a merci- ful view of the case in view of the circum- eta,noes and the prisoner's good character. Dr. Eager, at the request of the judge, went into the witness-box, and, in reply to his counsel, said the charges against him were most utterly unfounded. Justice Bucknill said that- prisoner had done wisely to take the course he had taken, because it seemed to him there was no suggestion that Dr. Eager was not telling I the truth when he detailed to the jury what took place between him and the prisoner at 64, Park-etreet, Bristol. The jury would have found themselves bound to have found him guilty at least of the offence to which he had pleaded guilty, and that offence was an abominable one. In his years of retirement —for he was going to give him penal servitude-lot him think of the agony, the appalling mental agony indescrib- able, that Dr. Eager must have suf- fered in consequence of prisoner's' abonii- naMe conduct. For one man to stand face to face with another and tell him that if he did not give him money he would continue these threats was an appalling thing. It was setting naiture at nought. Dr. Eager, doing the proper thing, acting on advice it was true, but doing the proper thing from the beginning to the end of the case, was forced to call in the police and give him into custody. A plea. of guilty was, in his opinion, inevit- a.ble. What was his duty in passing sentence? To consider first the nature of the offence, next the limit of punishment, and to ask wihether it was a case that demanded the highest punishment permitted. If he came to that conclusion it was not only by way of punishment to him, but to let others know and the world know (and there were others who got their living in this way)—that it was as a punishment to him and a warning to others who carried on this nefarious crime of torturing men with the fit torture to obtain money. He felt bound to come to the conclusion that the highest penalty of the law must be the sentence he must pass. He did not do it with amy feeling or desire to be cruel. He had pity for a man who had fallen whose character was pre- viously good. The sentence was that he should go into penal servitude for live years.

LOSS OF THE ORDOVICIAN. I THE BOARD OF TRADE INQUIRY AT CARDIFF. The Board of Trade inquiry into the loss of the steamship Ordovician, of Cardiff, was resumed at the Town-hall, Cardiff, on Fri- day (before Mr. T. W. lie wis, stipendiary magistrate, assisted, by Captain Coeens and Commander B. du Sautoy Anstis as nautical assessors). Mr. Arthur C. Vachell (Messrs. Vachell amd Co.) appeared for the Board of Trade; Mr. A. A. Miller (instructed by the Merchant Service Guild) was present On behalf of the master (Mr. Richard Griflitli) and Mr. Lean (Messrs. Moxon and LeaD) watched the proceedings on behalf of the f owners, for whom Messrs. Owen and Watkin Williams, Mount Stuart-square, Cardiff, are I the managers. The only witness on Friday was Kocadaki, a Greek seaman, who was at the wheel half an hour before the ship struck. He swore that he followed the course set by the mate, south by west-, without any deviation. The weather was quite thick when the accident happened, and had been so for twenty minutes previously. He was than. on watch on the forecastle head. The Chief Mate put it to witness that he was not on the forecastle head at all that watch, but on the bridge, but witness adhered to his version. I The Master (Captain Griffiths), re-called, I repeated that there was no difference between j the steering compasses and the standard, though he had heard the mate in his evi- dence declare there was a. difference of four degrees. The Stipendiary pointed out that, assuming the mate was correct, that when he sighted the Bun lings Light they were three miles off, they would still on a south by west course. have cleared Santa Cruz. The same course would have cleared Santa. Cruz also assuming that the captain's version was correct—that the Buntings were only one mile off. The Chief Mate, re-called, admitted that this was so, and added that he could only account for the disaster by assuming that there must have teen currents to draw the ship eastward of her course. The inquiry then concluded, and judgment will be delivered at two o'clock to-day (Satur- day).

LATE KING CHRISTIAN. I IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL CEREMONY AT ROSKILDE. A solemn service was held in the Christians- borg Castle, Copenhagen, on Friday, after which the remains of the late King Christian were conveyed to the railway station en route to Roskilde.

The streets through which the pro cession passed were crowded with hundreds of thousands of the public, who rev-c-rfptly saluted the coffin. Minute gtlltg were fired during the passage of the cortege. The funeral procession reached the railway 1 station a little alter one o'clock. The coffin was placed in the train, which, with the Jloyal mournerv, left for lloskilde. T7pon arrival at Rcgfcilda the coffin was solemnly placed in the ancient cathedral.

CA Uji H t I) E I). THIEF SENTENCED AT BLACK- WOOD. At Blackwood on Friday Frederick Oox, a. huckster, bailing from Argoed. was brought up in custody charsred with steal- ing 14owt. of iron raH", valued at 3z. at Minmoet, on the 14th of December last, the property of Christopher Pond, oolliery pro- prietor, Blackwood. Air. R. H. Spencar, Tre- degar, appeared for the prosecution. Thomas Bowditch, a farmer, spoke to see- ing the prisoner, in company with another I man, breaking up iron castings with a sledgehammer at the mouth of the Manm081. Colliery level. They placed the broken iron in a bag, but at sight- of witness they dropped the bag and ran away. At the mouth of the level he found two heaps of iron rails broken up. Police-sergeant Morgan, Blackwood, tracsd some of the stolen iron rails to a foundry a.t I Blaokwood. where they had been sold rhe previous day for 2S-. Witness found that the crossings had been raised clean from the earth no:r the coiliery level and broken up. I When he apprehended the prisoner he said, "More trouble for me, I suppose." Prisouer, who pleaded guilty and threw himself on the mercy of the court, had a. bad record for thieving, and was sent to oriscnx for three months' b-ard labour.

SHOEMAKER LAWYER Conducts His Own Case AND SCORES OVER COUNSEL A shoemaker who (temporarily) left his last for the law court, provided judge, jury, and public with a. rich ferensic treat yesterday. He is Mr. Edward Kingsland, of Brockley, and appeared in person as plaintiff in an action for trespass against Mr. George Den- ton, a butcher, likewise of Brockley. Briefly, the plaintiff declares that t.be defendant, his landlord, encroached on his garden by fourteen inches, replacing a fence by the wall of a coach-houee which con- tained windows that overlooked plaintiff's premises, and made it impossible for him to live there. A very prosperous and cultured shoemaker Mr. Kingsland appeared. He has iron-grey hair and moustache, wea,ra spectacles, and was dressed immaculately in a frock coat, grey trousere, fancy vest, and black tie. He Can Talk, Too. He was as ready with his tongue as any lawyer present. HiB mannerisms, his deferential attitude to the judge, and his lofty tone when interrupted by counsel could not have been surpassed by a harrisoor of twenty years' standing. Mr. Lowe protested that the shoemaker was not reading a letter correctly. Here is the original; will you look at that, plea.se?" was his retort. And when counsel admitted that he (counsel) was wrong, Mr. Kingslands "Thank yon" sent the court into convulsions. Mr. Kingsland related how the landlord's men pulled down his garden fence while Mr. Denton looked on. He said that Mr. Denton tried to get him out of the way by giving him a pair of boots with which there was nothing the matter, with instructions to sole and heel them. When defendant put in the door-frame which was to open on to the back garden, Mr. Kingsland said to the defendant, Look here, this is carrying a joke too far." And on March 23 he wrote to the defendant as follows:- Why you have not chosen to reply to my note of the 17th inst. is best known to yourself. I hereby give you due notice that if within fourteen days you have failed to remove all the wall, Ac., Ac., that you are now illegally building, together with all that trespass, I shall pull it al down. Mr. Lowe: I see the letter ends: As witness our hands this 23rd day of March, '05," and is signed by yourself and your wife. The windows of the coachhouse, said the shoemaker, so overlooked his pla-oe thait he bad to leave. Calls Son as Witness. I At the end of hie speeoh Mr. Kingsland called his son Harold as the first witness. "Speak up!" he cried, amid the laughter of the court; and the way in which he bade the boy "Be careful" -and interpolated, corn- men ta like "Exactly" was watched with great interest. Anotiller witness was the shoemaker's wife. "You and I have worked together for twenty years, have we not? And we have no secrete from one another?" came the ques- tion. Mr. George Tolley, L.C.C. district surveyor, complained when called that he ha,dboren II subpoenaed, and that his fee had n?? been paid. Mr. Kingsland was not art. all flurried. "If your lordship will inform me what I have to pay I am prepared to pay it immediately. I have already given this witness 10s. 6d. conduct money. The judge decided that the witness was entitled to £ 2 2s., which was paid at once. PUT HIS FOOT IN IT. A little mistake made by the clever shoe- maker at the end of Mr. Tolley'a evidence raised a loud peal of laughter. Shall I be required again, my lord?" asked the witness. No," said Mr. Kingsland. Almost imme- diately he realised tha.t he ought not to have answered a question putt to the judge, and, blushing, resumed his seat. Even the judge joined in the mirth. Mr. F. E. Payne, the gentleman who, de- fendant says, served a notice on plaintiff informing him of what was going to be done, was crofs-examined by the plaintiff. If you served this notice, why did not you give it to me instead of putting it in the letter-box?" asked the shoemaker. "Well," said the witness, "I knew you would have a rare lot to say, a.nd as I was hungry, and wanted lunch, I put it in the box." After the defendant's counsel had opened bis speech the court adjourned.

ALLEGED ILLEGAL DISTRESS AT I TONYPANDY. At Porth on Friday Judge Gwi-lym Williams bad before him a case in which Mrs. Mary Powell, Tonypandy, took proceedings against Mr. Morgan Gregory, her landlord, and a oertificated court bailiff named W. Beer, for alleged illegal distraint. Mr. Ivor Bowen said that the action had been brought, first, on the ground that in the first distraint Beer had levied on two bedsteads, and that the distress warrant had not been eerved until after sunset; eecondly, that articles of furniture belonging to the plaintiff, which were at Gregory's house, had been distrained upon; and thirdly, that a second distraint made was not legal as it was not competent for the landlord to levy a second distress in respect of the same rent. His Honour found for plaintiff for £6 and oosta in respect of the ftrst and eecond items, but held that the defendants had with- drawn the first dictres,3 at plaintiff's request, and that, therefore, they were within their rights in levying the second distress.

"LIVED ON HIS FATHER'S BACK." "Too lazy to work." Such was the character given to John Lewis, a young man, of Maindy-road, Ton, by Superinten- dent Cole to the Pontypridd magistrates on Friday. Lewis confessed to stealing JE1 from the till at Bracohi Bros.' shop in Ystrad- road, Pentre, on February 1. In arresting him Police-constable Evans was given an exciting chase for a few hun- dred yards through the streets and back lanes in Ton. His father is a very respectable man," said the Superintendent, and Polioe-constable Evan? added that the parent had done all he could for his son by finding him employment, but he would not stick to any job. Defendant was sent to prison for a month without the option of a fine.

SARRY TEACHER OBJECTS TO 1 VACCINATION. -1 At Barry Police-cour: on Friday David Howell Pavies school-teacher, of 209, road Barry Dock, applied for a vaccination exemption order in rcspect of his child. The j applicant said he believed vaccination wouj^L jj be injurious to health. Mr. J. W. Morris (clerk): Have you had any children vaccinated? Applicant: No, this is the first child. Vaccination does not prevent or mitigate smallpox. Dr. I do -not think your opinion is of very much value on that point. The Clerk: You think it will injure the health of your child? Applicant: Yes. Dr. We are not satisfied that you have proved your objection, and the applica- tion falls through.

IALEXANDRA DOCKS NEWPORT'S EXPORT OF COAL Effect of Local Colliery Strikes I The forty-first ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Alexandra (Newport and South Wales) Docks and Railway was held on Friday afternoon at the offices of the company, St. M, ary*s-chamber- St. Mary Axe, London. Yiscount Tredegar, the chair- man, presided. The other directors present were Mr. E. M. Underdown, KC. (deputy- chairman), Mr. C. leoline Forestier-Walker, Sir Henry Mather Jackson. Bart., Colonel Sir R. Nigel F. Kingscote, K.C.B., Lieutenant- colonel H. E. M. Lindsay, E E., and Colonel Evan H. Llewellyn. A digest of the report and statement of accounts has already been published in the "Evening Express." Viscount Tredegar, in moving the adoption ot the report, said the directors felt that they were able to put before the shareholders a favourable report. At one time he was inclined to say it was a "fairly" favourable report, but there were reasons over which they had no control which really made it favourable. The gross receipts were £ 7,309 less than in the corresponding period of the previous year. Tha.t at ffrst sigbt did not look very favourable, but when they considered that there had been during the half-year a strike at two important collieries in the neighbour. hood of Newport, which had their proper outlet at Newport through the Alexandra Docks, the decrease was not startling. The decrease in shipments from th RiocG Colliery was 154,076 tons, and from Llanhilleth 181,406 tons, making a total of 335,671 tons, which it was sa-fe to assume represented a total loss in gross revenue of about £ 15,000. With that £15,000 the company would have been able to pay the full dividend on the deferred stock. He did not understand why there should be strikes in theise days, but he supposed that the people most interested knew their own business. They certainly affected the whole trade of the district. There had been a slight increase in traffic expenses, but that was due to the congestion which sometimes would take place. The general manager and the direc- tors were endeavouring at all hazards and at all ooets to overcome the congestion. The Bill which the company was prosecuting in the next session of Parliament would be presented in a very short time to the share- holders, and he thought if they were wise they would look favourably upon it. The public heard a great deal juet now about the difficulties of Capital and Labour. They did not know for the moment how it was going to shape itself in the end, but he wished the company had in that room at the time three or four large capitalists who would intro- duce large sums of money into the Alexan- dra Docks during the next four or five years. There would then be no docks in the Bristol Channel equal to the Alexandra Docks. He referred to great capitalists like the late Sir George Elliot and Mr. Maclean. He did not think the "Alexandra Docks would then require much exploiting on the part of the directors. They had several items of expense this year to look forward to, especially m the matter of opposition to the Bills which would be presented to Parliament to try to tap the great coal area of their valleys a.nd try to divert it to Cardiff. He hoped that the shareholders would think the directors were right in opposing those schemes. (ikear, hear.) Mr. E. M. Underdown, K.C., the deputy- chairman, seconded the adoption of the report. It was unanimously agreed to. Resolutions were afterwards adopted for payment of a dividend of 44 per cent. on the "A" and "B" consolidated stock, 4 per Oent on the preferred ordinary stock, and 2 per cent. on the deferred orddnxury stock. Sir Henry Mather Jackson, Bart., and Lieutcnant-colonel Morgan Lindsay, R.E., were re-elected directors, and Mr. J. E. W. Rider was re-elected one of the auditors. On the motion of Mr. Brereton, seconded by Mr. Cheyne, a vote of thanks was accorded to Viscount Tredegar for presiding. In connection with the working of the undertaking it is of some interest to note that the total tonnage of imports and exports for the half-year at the docks was 2,381,527, a decrease of 177,854 tons as compared with the corresponding half of the previous year. Imports were well maintained, there being increases in:—Iron ore, 44,702 tons; pig-iron, 4,582 tons; deals, 1,606 tons; pit wood, 14,725; tonp. There were decreases of 268 tons in timber, 2,639 tons in sleep-era, 312 tons in ballast, and 10,338 tons in sundries. Iron ore and pitwood were the principal increases, and sleepers and sundries, under which head are included bars, billets, and blooms, marked the chief decreases. In export3 there were increases in iron, 18,619 tons. and sundries, 5,029 tons, and decreases in coal and coke, 251,311 tons; tin-plates, 1.945 tons; and ballast, 3C4 tons. The reduction in export coal was more than accounted for by strikes at the Risca and Llanhilleth Collieries. The decrease from the former collieries' shipments was 154,376 tons, and from the latter 181.495 tons, makiug a total decrease of 335,571 tons, which it is safe to assume represents a loss in gross revenue of about £ 15,000. The decrease in the cost of hydraulic-power was almost phenomenal. The quantity of fuel was 2.110 tons less, the cost C776 less. and the cost per ton of tonnage handled reduced more than 50 per cent., namely, from '12d. to, 054d. The resulting economies and efficiencies of a full year's experience of working have conclusively demonstrated the wisdom of the policy of power centralisation. The popu- larity of the motor-car service was greater than ever, and necessitated the entire re-con strnction of Pontypridd Station. Shelters have also been erected at the more impor- tant of the other stopping-places. As soon as can be conveniently arranged, a double servioe will be run early and late to accom- modate the working classes. The new quay of the South Dock, with its splendid equipment of hydraulic cranes, which was brought into use in June last, has greatly facilitated the company's business. The warehouse on the quay and the extensive nest of sidings serving it have been completed, and have proved of great advantage. The quay and warehouse and adjoining South Dock have been equipped with one of the most brilliant forms of elec- tric light, represented by the flame are IQ-r, The improvement in the lighting of the South Lock is of special bauelit to ships entering a.nd leaving. Very rapid progress has been made ty Messrs. Ea-ston Gilib and Son with the South Dock extension. The works, which will bring the total dock area. of the company to more than 100 acres, are being c-arried on by day and night. The contract for the four hydraulic hoists, including turntables, &c., for the westward arm of the extension wai placed in November last, and it is expected that the works will be sufficiently advanced for the erection of the first of these in May, to be followed by the erection of the others at short intervals. The height of lift will be 60ft. above water level, and the shipping capacity of eweh hoist about 400 tons per hour. These hoists, together with two movable hoists which are. on order for the west side of the North Alexandra Dock. and two modern fixed hoi>ts, which will re-n-lace two of the old structures at the Town Dock, will j in t.he near future enable the company cope readily and more expeditiously with a considerably increased tonnage. The addi- .<! ho?ts to the we?t tion of the two movable hoists to the wt side of the North Dock will, with the existing movable hoist there, provide three important fast-loading double berths. Two of the exist- ing fixed hoists have also been considerably heightened, enabling large cargo vessels load- ing on the east, side of the North Dock to take coal on the west side of the same dock without the necessity, as was formerly the case, of proceeding through the junction to the higher hoists in the South Dock. The completion of the form-concrete wharf adjoining the North Dock was, unfortunately, delayed in consequence qf engineering diffi- cuities. These have now been overcome, and the work is well advanced. The electric pump. ing plant has been installed, and has proved; on trial to be much more powerful and effi- cient under ordinary working conditions than was expected or guaranteed. The new general offices the company are constructing near the North Alexandra Dock pier-head will. it. is hoped, be ready for occupation in a few weekf.

I TO-DAY'S FOOTBALL. GLAMORGAN V. YORKSHIRE. I [By FORWARD."] If Newport do not succeed in defeating Cardiff to-day, then the Usksiders are likely to undergo the saane experience which they suffered at the hands of Cardiff in the season 1897-8, that is, four defeats, and not a single victory nor even a draw to console them- selves with. Swansea, who could only beat Gloucester by a goal last week, cannot be considered to be doing over well, and. although playing at home, they may expect a very hot struggle with Leicester to-day. The Midtanders always field a good pack of forwards, and in this department they may give Swansea, serious trouble. A greatly inte- resting contest is likely to be seen at Ponty- pridd between Glamorgan and Yorkshire. The home county will turn out a good side, and it is believed that the presence of Gwyn Nicholls will make a, difference of £ 50 in the gate receipts. That speedy wilg, Fred Lewis, will be given opportunities of showing his pace, and probably he will fully appreciate the honour of playing with the cleverest centre who has played Rugby football for many years. It is sure to be a good game, if the ground is not too soddened after the rain, and, with the advantage of playing at home, Glamorgan ought to win. Cardiff are not likely to be very much handicapped in their match with Newport by the probability of the turf being heavy. Last Saturday, against Moseley, the blue and blacks handled the wet ball just as easily as they would a dry one, and their passing was up to the best Cardiff traditions. The Newport men, too, generally do well under similar conditions, so that, unless the weather and the ground are exceptionally bad, the game ought to be an interesting one. The Cardiff backs will take up the same positions as last Saturday. Cecil Biggs will play a,t left centre with J. L. Williams. and R. A. Gibba will go to the right wing. Both men played very finely against Moseley, and, therefore, although the Cardiff three-quarter line will be minus those two great players, Gwyn Nicholls and R. T. Gabe, the blue and blacks will still be very strong in the third line. At half Percy Bush and B. J. David should be too clever for Vile and Martin, but in the forwards the Newport eight are so strong that they may give an unexpected character to the game. The following comes to hand from Old Judge":— Dear Forward.'—Will history repeat itself to-morrow? I have observed on several occa- sions that when the Cardiff First Fifteen and Reserves are unbeaten for a prolonged period a defeat to one is invariably followed by defeat to the other on the succeeding Satur- day. It was only lagt Saturday Cardiff Reserves were unexpectedly loeers for the first time this season. Three months have now elapsed since Cardiff and Newport last met. and in the meantime I am fully convinced the black and ambers have improved con- siderably at tfaree-quarter and half-back, and we all know the forwards are a very hot lot, as was shown in the second half of the last game on the Cardiff Arms Park, wh-ereas to-morrow the Newport will be found little inferior, if any, to Cardiff. I am inclined to think Cardiffg continued success must tend to over-oonfidenoe, which invariably spells defeat, and this, coupled with the "ip- grade tendency of the home team, leads me to the conclusion that Newport at the third time of asking will snatch a bare victory by three points.—Yours truly, OLD JUDGE.' My Newport correspondent writes:—Will Newport do something heroic to-day on the occasion of the 100th match with Cardiff ? The eeaton is oppor- tune and the need is great. It will not do for Newport to be always in the shade. A great past calls for something worthy of its traditions to-day. There are people at Newport who have faith that the Usksiders will triumph. A rather weakened Cardiff team and a home fifteen about as strong as it can be made this season seem to them favourable features to the chance—if there be also added that the Newport men have got themselves into fairly fit condition. May we dare hope for a dry ground ? It would be nice for all concerned, and it would make the game much more enjoya.ble. New- port had quite enough of mudlarking at, Bristol last Saturday. What is the basis of the faith which the Newport optimists have does someone ask? Well, chiefly, a general im- provement in the teanvi during the past month or two. The forwards are fit for any- thing. Of that there can be very little doubt. They have showed in some recent games that they are really good. There is better half-back play on the part of Vile and Martin than Newport has seen for a long time. At three-quarter, with Uzzel and Adams in the centre and Stanley Williams and Willie ThOIDaIl on the wings, there is not only a keen defensive line, but one which is capable of, at least, emart individualistic attack. D. J. Boots, at full-back, is safe. Newport played Swansea, at Swansea, to a point, and beat Bristol (who early in the season gave Cardiff a very close game), at Bristol, by six points. It is not so very un- i reasonable, therefore, for Uskeiders to hope that Newport may win to-day.

INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY. WALES V. IRELAND AT CARDIFF i THIS AFTERNOON. The international hockey match between Wales and Ireland is to be played this (Saturday) a-fternoon at the Cardiff Interme-1 diate Ground, Newport-road. A good deaa 1 of interest has been aroused in the event, as it is the firfrt international hockey match to be pla.yed in the city. Unfortunately, the weather has Dot been too kind, and the ground will be rathr sloppy. Wales have never succeeded in beating the Irishmen in ? any encounter, but there M every ?rafpeot of a. splenda kial of strength this .prospect of! Owing b the iUueaa of H. Wilson (Penally who wGii to have played at centre forward for the Principality, W. E. Jones (Aberaman) will be moved into the centre, and E. S. Bay lit (Newport) will figure at inside left. I Geoffrey Davies Ofewport) will appear in his old place at. left back, and the defence, which failed .-o lamentably againstScotland last!' week, has been further strengthened by the inclusion of G. H. Pethick (Swansea) and Allan Davies (Newport) in the half line. The team will be skippered by E. W. Evaii.e. The Irishmen have crossed the Channel with a strong combination, captained hy the veteran W. M. Johnstone (Three Rock Rovers), a for- ward only second to .Shoveller. Palmerston, the crack Dublin team, are reprtwefffced by four members, three of whom belong to thei well-known hockey family, the Petersons The umpires will be Mr. H. Tyner, for Ire- land, and Mr. W.

HURST PARK. I Starters and Selections I EAST MOLESEY, Saturday Morning. In the early part of yesterday afternoon at Hurst Park it was mild and springlike, and as it was well known that the Open Steeplechase would bring about the meeting of three of our greatest steeplechasers, in Desert Chief, John M.P., and Kirk land, the attendance, especially in the club enclosure and Tattereall's Ring, was much above the average. Half-way through the afternoon, unfortunately, rain fell sharply, and the con- clusion wae dismal in the extreme. The going was in wonderfully good order, and the sport throughout was of the most interesting description. At the last moment it was decided not to permit Aunt May to oppose John M.P. and Desert Chief in the Open Steeplechase, and, although there was an additional competitor in last year's Grand National winner, Kirkland, the naee was almost universally regarded as a match. Kirkland, it was recognised, is of little use over any course except Aintree, and, as his preparation is being timed solely with a view to the National, he, of course, stripped on the big side. Desert Chief had the reputation of not being able to stay three miles, and it waa, therefore, not surprising to find odds of 6 to 4 freely wagered on John M.P. In none of this recent races had Desert Chief been headed, but now he could not get away from the long striding John M.P. The latter nearly pulled Taylor's arms out of their sockets in the first six furlongs, and he had to let him go to the head of affairs. From that point the race was virtually over. In the last mile he had Desert Chief stone and cold, and he finally passed the post with an advantage of no less than thirty length*. Kirkland finished nearly a fence behind Desert Chief. Another interesting afternoon's sport is promised to- day, when the leading event will be the Feb- ruary Hurdle, for the winner of which I shall not look beyond SANDBOY. GLADIATOR, who scored so easily at Windsor last month, must have a big chance in the Grange Stee- pleohase. Det-&iled seleaic),ns follow:- Walton Selling—SWEET MERCY. Weir Selling—RHYTON.

At Bristol Polioe-rourt on Friday 13arliett; Jacobs, on remand, described as a bookmaker, of Mertbyr, ♦as charged with travelling with- out a. ticket between Cardiff and Bristol on February 8, with intenit to defraud the Great Western Railway. Mr. Yas»all prosecuted, and Mr. Harold Lloyd (Cardiff) defended. Mr. Yassail said that on IVednesdav upon the arrival of the excursion train from Cardiff, defendant bolted out of the station, followed by a. passenger and ticket-oollector, the passenger alleging that defendant had! defrauded him of L30 by meadas of the tbjw- card trick. Defendant, when caught, gave the passenger baok £ 20, and the man had not been seen since. It was then discovered that doefendant had no ticket.

A VEUY HARD CASE. I LEGAL GENTLEMAN'S CREDITABLE ) ACTION. His Honour Judge G wilym Williams delivered his reserved judgment at Porth County-court on Friday in the interpleader case. in which Mrs. M. A. Jonee, Senghen- ydd, claimed six cows, which ha.d been levied upon by Charles Pickens against John John, of Penrheoleli Farm, Pontypridd. It appeared that claimant had advanced .S90 upon the security of a bill of sale granted by John to Henry Lewis, of Gellihir Farm, and another £ 40 upon a bill of sale which had been pro- mised her. For the claimant it had been argued by Mr. J. Bryant that the deposit of the bill of sale gave her an equitable title to the goods specified therein, but for the execution credi- tor it was explained that the money due under the bill of sale had been paid by the disposal of sheep which had been included in the bill of bale. Hie Honour now .expressed hie regret that he could not find for the claimant, and he would have to give judgment for t.he execu- tion creditor, with costs. Mr. Bryant, in a-ppealin? for the remission of the cost*, remarked that, knowing the cir- cumstances a- he did, he did not intend per- sonally to ae-h his client to pcy a single • penny beyond the mere court feef. I The Judge: It is very creditable of yon. It is a. very hard

HOW LOCAL INFIRMARIES I MAY BE AIDED. I THE PROPOSAL TO FORM LIEN ASSOCIATIONS. I PROMPT ACTION TAKEN AT CARDIFF. The proposal that linen associations should be started in South Wales for the benefit of the various infirmaries hae met with the wannest response. The authorities of the various institutions recognise that this, would remove a great burden from their shoulders, for the linen bill oi esuch an Institution as an infirmary is a considerable item. In connection with the Oardiff Infirmary there is already a Ladies' Needlework Guild, of which Mrs. Henry Lewis, of Greenmeadow, ia president, assisted by a committee of twelve ladies. and a large number of asso- ciates. The rule is for each associate to supply two articles of clothing' every year. Mrs. Henry Lewis told one of our representa- tives that she was much ir 1 r rested in the scheme as projectea is the. Western Mail on Thursday. She believed that the Linoa Association would work well wifn the. Needle- work Guild. At present they had often to refuse linen articles, as they were not strictly articles of needlework. Mrs. T. Wallace (Cardiff) said timi if the two could be amalgamated it wouid'be much better, ae there would be no overlapping, i and at the same time, by giving-a. wider selec- tion of articles that could be given, it wcuid greatly increase the total amount that tbe as80Giatee would be able to give. They would want to know every year from the matron how much 'he requirod of the different things. At present the house committee were informed by the matron what was wanting, and a sufficient quantity wm- bought to last two or three years. Mns. Wallace added that she would be pleased to do all she could to put soefc an association into practical ishapft. Mrs. Peter Price (who hat- a vaet, experience in a.U matUav concerning the Cardiff Infirmaryi and the Lady Mayoree*. have volunteered their bervitx- to bring this about. A meetiEg it to be ield of "-Ii la-dies intf*- rested in the movement on Saturday, Febru- ary 24. in the board-room of Garditf Infirmary, The Lady Mayorett- and Ivir^1. P. Hughes, of the Paiaoe, Liandaff, have promised to be present. It will be settled at that meeting whether the Linen Associa- tion will be run apart or in conjunction with the present Ladies' Needlework Guild. Mrs. Henry Lewis has offered to exteud her com- mittee in case the latter oourse [y. adopted. The new officers wiU probably be elected, and the whole scheme put upon a working bask;. As there will P-,ol),ably be Linen Associations established oilier South W ales towns for the benefit of the local infirmaries, it is desir- able that ladies from all such towns should be present to gather helpful hints.

A BRAVE CARDIFF PILOT. REWARDED BY THE ROYAL HUMANE SOCIETY. At its meeting in London on Thursday the Boyal Humane Society awarded its bronze medal to Alfred Gist, assistant-pilot, of Kent- street. Grangetown. Cardiff, for his gallant endeavour to save a comrade who wa& drowned on JjRuary 14. The men when some five milc, north-west of the Foreland, in the Bristol Channel, left their cutter in a punt for the purpose of boarding a steamer when the punt capsiaed in the choppy sea. Gist, knowing that his fellow-pilot, John Thomas could not swim, at great risk endeavoured to get him back to the cutter, but, his strength failir.g, he had to let go, and Thomas was drowned.
