TO-DAY'S SHORT STORY.] The Cesarewitch. I am—o>r, rather, was—a jockey! There now I have lost prestige in the eyes of the many thousands of people who hate "the turf" and ail connected with it; yet I am proud of the fact that I have been a jockey, and prouder to know that I was respected by my fellow professionals. Had I tile inclination and the ability I could fill a book with facts jrained from per- sonal experience and observation—facto which might possibly induce readers to suspect that jockeys, as a alass, are honourable as any other set of professional men; aye, perhaps even more honourable, for the path of no other professional man is to thickly studded with gaily-gilded temptations; and, after all, the successful resistance of subtle tempta- tion is the best proof of honour. On the other hand, I must candidly con- fess that I could find more than enough material to fill a book disclosing the dark side of the turf. The public knows all about that phase of turf life, however, and Ull- fortunately a certain section of the public— the uninitiated and therefore one-aided bection-eannot discern the difference, so far as respectability is concerned, between the jockey and the sharper. Bat enough of this. Everybody has heard of Tom Ivenyon, the once-famous jockey, bui everybody had not heard a certain little story about him. Early one evening, many years ago. Tom Kenyon was informed that Lord Clanmore wished to have a word with him in private. Tom had just retired to rest, for he was in strict training for the Cesarewitch at the time, but he hurriedly rose and dressed. His hurry was not due to the fact that his visitor was a peer of the Keulm, for jccKoy.- often receive visits from the aristocracy; but Lord Canmore's father—the late Lord Clanmore—had been Tom's patron. The turf never knew a more straightforward and honourable sportsman than the late lord, and no jockey ever had a better master. No wonder then that Tom Kenyon hastened to meet tb son of his old master. He wondered what could be the object of his visit, for it was generally understood that the young lord had forsaken the turf. "Good evening. Tom," was Lord Clanmore's greeting as he shook the jockey warmly by the hand. "Are you well?" Quite well, my lord, thank you," replied Tom; and then, observing his visitor's care- worn appearance, he added, "I'm .orry to see you are not in the best of health." I'm well enough," said Lord Clanmore; "but I came to see you on a matter of business. In an instant Tom was all attention. Tom, I think I can trust you. I know that my father trusted you with many an important secret." Tom bowed. "You will remember that I sold my father's stable and every one of his much-prized horses when I came into possession of the Cbtate?" IV.fectly, my lord. That is why I am with Sir Erie Marsden now." "By-the-bye, how do you get on with the honourable member for West Blankleigh ?" "Excellently, my lord-almœt as well as with the late Lord Clanmore." I am glad, but, of course, I expected aa much. But I must get on with my confes- eion—for puch it is. Do you. k:¡w why I severed my connection with the turf?" "Because you were disgusted with it. I understand." "That waa one reason, bit n?t the culv one. The fact is, my father left me practi-¡ cally penniless." Tom stared at the speaker in midissuised j astonishmemt. { It is a fact, Tom. I gave up my hordes, I but I did not give up backing others. The I result is, that I am now cn the very verge Of bankruptcy; and in a ehort time I am to marry Lady Florence Gurthwaite. Con- sequently, within the next few months I must, by some means or other, raise at least Excuse me, lord." interrupted Tom. "I-ar-that is—well, of course, you are aware that I owe my present positjon and my little private fortune entirely to your father. I have about £20.000 invested in Con- sols. I can soon realise it, and, if yon don't mind, it's yours, and nobody shall know any- thing about it." Your generosity does credit to your heart, Tom, but. of course, I cannot accept your cha your offer.' I ocean." I -beg your pardon, my lord—mo6t humbly. I forgot." "Besides, I must raise at least £100;000. I Can get a final mortgage of £ 10,COO on the estare, and if I lose that the mortgage will foreclose, and I am ruined. I have explained this much, Tom, because you have a right to know it, as you are the one man who can help me to win the hundred thousand. I want you to—why, what's the matter?" Tom Kenyon had fainted. He had heard such yarns before and the conclusion was always .a. 8uggestion to "pull" a horse and deliberately lose a race, so that the pleader m-rrht retrieve his fortunes by foul means. The thought that the son of his old master- the old Lord Clanmore, the very soul of integrity—could stoop so low was too much for the jockey. Under ordinary circum- stances, perhaps, Tom would not have broken down so completely, but he had had a hard day, and for some time he had been com- pelled to trifle with Nature in order to reduce his weight so that he might ride the "dark" horse, Sir Eric Marsden's Alpha, in the Cesarewitch. "11:hat is the matter?" repeated Lord Clanmore, when Tom revived. •• Nothing—nothing," was the reply. "I've been over-training, I expect. Go on, my lord." Well, ag I was saying, I want you to do me a favour. You know a good horse when you see one. When next you get news of a good thing at long odds, 1 want you to let me know. My estate has been disbursed on the turf; I want the turf to pay a, little back. I will back your selection for all I am worth— or, rather, for all I can raise; and if I win I shall never back another horse as long as I live." Tom Kenyon conld scarcely believe his eaTS. Lord Clanmore had not come to bribe him to go wrong, after all. It was only a "tip" he wanted—an honest tip. The feeling of relief which passed over Tom is, to Uèe the jockey's own words, simply indescribable. "My lord, you have asked me just at the right moment. I am to ride Alpha in the Cesarewitch next week. Beta and Omega are the first favourites, and, according to the betting world, I have practically no chance I with Alpha, whose price at present is fifteen to one." Do you advise me to back Alpha, then?" "Not yet, my lord. The only horse I am afraid of is Twenty-fooir hours before the race I shall have a. very good idea as t-o the probable winner If you do not hear t rom me on the morning of the race, back Alpha. If I fancy any other horse is likely to beat me, you shall know its name by the first post on the race-day." "Thinks, Tom. I understand. If I hear nothing I put my money on Alpha; if Alpha is likely to lose I shall receive a letter. Very good." On the night before the great race Tom Kenyon wrote and posted the following brief letter to Lord Clanmore ——— Hotel, Newmarket. Alpha has been out of sorts for two days. Impossible for him to win. Advise you to support Beta. Short odds, but sure. TOM KENYON. The news of Alpha's indisposition was already widely known. On the day of the race scarcely any backers Supported it, and it started at twenty to one against. The man who was most concerned and puzzled about the condition of Alpha was Alpha's jockey, for, to Tom's surprise, the animal seemed to recover suddenly, and at the starting-post Tom felt assured that the spirited horse would make a good bid for victory. And Alpha did make a good bid for victory, fclowly, but surely, Alpha and Beta gained on their rivals until they were really the only two horses left in the race. The vast crowd cheered lustily for Beta. A hundred yards from the winning-post the pair ran neck and neck, and Tom felt that, bar accidents, he would win. Then. and not till then, wa« Tom seized with that indefinable species of torture which one experiences when one's inclination and duty point in directly opposite directions. If Alpha lost no one would be surprised. Scarcely anybody except the "bookies" would be sorry, for very few of the thousands of spectators had backed Tom's mount. Above all, Lord Clanmore would be saved from ruin and disgrace—and had not he him- self strongly urged the young lord to back Beta? I Only for a few brief moments did Tom hesitate. He thought of his master, Sir Eric llarsden, who had long ago set his mind on carrying off thi3 event, and he thought of his honour, which, up to that moment, had remained unsullied. That settled the matter. His mind was made up. With only one object in view— t-hat of winning at all hazards—he urged Alpha on with whip and spur, and Alpha nobly responded, like the game horse he was. The winningipoet was n-eared—reached— passed. A hoarse Toar of disappointment, a confused hubbub, and a solitary cheer here and t-here told Tom plainly enough that Alpha had..beaten Beta and won the Cesare- witch. And such was the case. Alpha had won by a short head. Tom Kenyon's honour was saved. Lord ,ClanmorewaA3 irretrievably ruined. "I congratulate you, old man," said the jockey who rode Beta. "I thought I should have beaten you this time, but why, what's the matter? You don't look over well pleased at your victory." "Hearty congratulations!" exolaimed Sir Eric ilarsden, his face beaming with smiles. "You never rode better in your life, Tom- never. And them,, to add to Toon's discomfiture, Xiord Cla&m#re>—U»<& ruiaed Lord Ciazuno*1#— loomed in sight. The winning jockey, feeling sick at heart, tried to avoid him; but Lord Clanmore was not the man to be avoided. "Tom," excitedly whiepered the young lord in his unwilling ear; "Tom, you have saved me!" The jockey started. "I put £ 10,000 on Alpha at twenty to one," continued Lord Clanmore, "and I have cleared £ 200,000. I shall never forget you, Tom." Tom Kenyon could scarcely believe his ears. Yet the excited peer was evidently speaking the truth. What did it all mtan? He found out shortly afterwards. An envelope, marked "On Her Majesty's Service," reached him, and on opening it Tom found, to his intense astonishment, that it contained the letter he bad written to Lord CIAnmore. advising lfim to back Beta instead of Alpha. The letter had never reached Lord Clan- mors, for the very good reason that Tom Kenycn bad. in a moment of forgetfulnes<?, i posted it without any name or address on the envelope. It had, of course, journeyed to the "Dead Letter" department d the General Post-o?cc, wh?re it w-,s 0pen??t. Then, iike thousands of similarly addressed —or, rather, ua-addresscd—missives, which are dropped into pillar-boxes every year, it was returned to the writer.

STOLL'S PANOPTiCON. Another capital programme has bee" arranged for next week at Stoll's Panop- ticon. The star picture of the week will be the dramatic story, entitled The Two Friend. the óoone of which is laid in Brittany, where quaint national costumes will be seen.

Thomas Bailey, a whjte-hcired man of 69, and a convict on licence, pleaded guilty at Westminster PoJice-court to stealing wearing apparel and a silver watch, the property of Albert Groves, a barman, at the Star Public- | house, Pimlico, and he was committed for trial.

NEWPORT EMPIRE. I The favourite entertainers, Bella and I Eijou, should be sure of a hearty reception oa their re-appearance at Newport Empire next week, when they will present their amusing sketch, "The Suffragette." in which. "Votes for Women" are exploited in a very novel and laughable manner. How many of those who have enjoyed the lively duets and the clever sketches of these talented artistes know how nearly the public missed being deprived of their charming combination? I Their story is quite a theatrical romance. In the company which travelled with the late Mr. Fothergill, a great comedian of the early sixties and seventies, was a child dancer who attained great popularity under the name ) oi "Baby Slite." Her first appearance was at the famous Day's Concert-hall, lyrming- hani, now the Empire, and little Miss ) Fothergill-for" Baby Mite" was the daughter of the head of the combination— continued to appear in her father's sketcheB II until the company broke up. The Baby Mite" of these days is the "Bella" of Bella and Bijou of to-day. The Maples, who will give an amusing lesson on "How to Treat a Burglar"; the Bros. Bright, Flo Smithers and Co., the New Macs, Sisters Dorell, and Ellis Barrieton are included in the same programme.

I I CARDIFF NEW THEATRE. I
CARDIFF NEW THEATRE. An exceptionally attractive engagement will commence on Monday next, when Messrs. Smith and Carpenter's principal touring company pay a first visit to the New Theaire, Cardiff, with the highly sucoessful drama "Pete," which drew over 300,000 people to the Lyceum Theatre, London, and ba-s proved equally attractive in the provinces. Peta" is the joint product of Hall Caine and Louis X. Parker, a. nd they have suc- ceeded, as one might expect from such past masters of the dramatic art, in giving a You'll find yoU'Y6 married the wrong man."—An incident in Pete." thoroughly human and interesting play-a, play that appeals to the sympathies; and at the same time interests. Briefly told, the story of "Pete" is as fol- hws :-P.te,flnd.in¡; there is very little oppor- tunity for advancement by remaining in his native town, decides to try his luck in the diamond mines of xvimberley. He leaves his sweetheart Kate in the charge of his trusted friend Philip. Five years elapse, and Peto being reported dead, Philip outrages his trust. A wire arrive-s from Pete, who, although wounded and left for dead, pulls through, and announces his speedy arrival home. Kate implores Philip to marry her, but he, filled with ambition to rise in the world, refuses. She marries Pete, and a son is born, of whom Pete believes himself the father, and lavishes all the love of his honest nature on both mother and child. It is the very strength of this love, and Pete's thorough trust in Kate, that prompts her, knowing herself to be guilty, to desert bo-th husband and child. The rest of the story is devoted to Pete's search for Kate and the gradual knowledge of the treachery of Philip. Local playgoers should not miss the oppor- tunity to make acquaintance with Pete during the first visit to Cardiff, and the New Theatre should be packed at every perform- ance. Mr. Frederick Victor is the Pete, and Miss Helena Millais sustains the part of Kate.

Cardiff Football Club.
Cardiff Football Club. J. L. WILLIAMS ELECTED CAPTAIN JThe annual general meeting of the Cardiff Rugby Club was held in the Park-hall -I Friday evening, Mr. W. T. Morgan presiding over a large gathering. With reference to the statement of account s for the last season, which have already been published, Mr. J. Sydney Reels pointed out that out of an income of no less than £5,000 they were only able to bring forward £ 18, and give the miserable sum of X33 to charity. The Secretary (Mr. ç. S. Arthur), in answer to questions, stated that the Paris outing cost '¿Ùu, out of which they received 1150 in return, and the Bordeaux trip 1260. Dr. Buist stated that when the finance com- mittee were aware ot the bad condition of the balance-sheet this year they were some- what staggered. He thought he would take the trouble to compare the balance-sheets of the past six seasons with the last season, and he was very much startled with the expense of out-matches. The expenses for out- matches in the first of these years was £ 412 in the following year JM72. in the next £492 18s. 8d„ i" the following £563. next year £641, and last season ?790 16s. 8d., so that there had been a gradual increase from 1412 to £ 790. The same remark applied ora?ctically to the item of r^il fares, and there were cer- tain items of this season considerably m e\?ss of some of the years past. The French trip of 1%5 cost £ 191, and the Bordeaux trip last season X264. As compared with two sc-asons ago there were two big matches ahandcn-e-d-Blackheath and Leicester-and one had to make some allowance in com- raring 1906-7 and 19C8-9. The accounts were adopted. The election of officers was then proceeded with. Messrs. A. F. Bland, W. M. Douglas, and John Gibson having withdrawn their names for the post of president, Mr. W. T. Morgan was unanimously re-elected to tne post, and briefly returned thanks. Messrs. A. F. Bland and John Gibson were re-elected vice-presidents, Mr. A. F. Hill hon. treasurer. .Idr. C. S. Arthur secretary, and Messrs. H. E. Sweeting and P. E. Robothan auditors. I Voting for the Captaincy. -L. Three names were submitted lor tne post of captain of the first team, namely, Messrs. P. F. Bush (last year's captain), R. A. Gibbs, and J. L. Williams. The voting resulted as foll,ows J. L. WiHia.ms S43 -i: .1 P. F. Bush 230 Mr. Williams was declared elected, and received a most cordial reception. In returning thanks, Mr. Williams said it was the proudest moment of his life. It was an honour which he had alv, ajs looked for- ward to attain since he started playing first- class football for Cardiff, and he thought it was his due. (Hear, hear.) He only asked the players to be as loyal to him as they had been to his predecessors, and he would do his utmost to keep up the grand traditions of the Cardiff team. (Applause.) The vote for the poet of the captain of the reserves resulted as follows:—Frank Woods. 302; George Northmore, 130; Edgar Thomas, 111; and Tom Evans. 64. Mr. Woods was duly elected. The Committee. The following were elected members on the first committee:—Messrs. E. G. Nicholls, 520; E. T. Gabe, 518; Dr. Burst, 475; Percy F. Bush, 433; John Davics. 335; W. M. Douglas. 228; W. Staniforth, 320. Nor,-electedMessrs. Llewellyn Daviee. Arthur L. Daviee, J. H. Gihby, H. Lloyd. Fred Smith, Bert Taylor, and W. M. Tunley. For the Reserves committee:—Messrs. J. E. Merrett, 531; J. Batstone, 452; W. A. Jones, 365; and W. J. Hart, 277. Non-elected:- Messrs. W. Burris. Gus Hayes, W. J. Old, and W. C. Rees. The History of the Club Mr. W. J. Spiller proposed that the publi- cation known as "The History of the Cardiff Football Club" should be recognised as the property of the club, that the in-coming com- mittee be authorised to take over the present stock, including the photographic blocks, at a price to be decided upon at the annual meeting, and that the best thanks of the meeting be tendered to Mr. C. S. Arthur for the valuable services rendered by him in the compilation of the book. The book was launched before the public, and it was not the success that it ought to have been. It was not fair Mr. Arthur should share this on his own responsibility. Mr. A. C. Ealey seconded the motion. Mr. Sidney Rees proposed as an amend- ment that the copyright of the publication should be recognised as the property of the lCUlb, and tha.t the incoming committee should be authorised t? pay the sum of £ 50 in respect thereof. Apparently, on the books fold Mr. Arthur had obtained a profit, but if Mr. Arthur said that L50 was not enough, he (the speaker) would be quite willing to amend his amendment so as to see Mr. Arthur through. Mr. Arthur said he was sorry tha.t Mr. Roos thought he had made any profit on the book. He had not made a single farthing profit, and not only had he made no profit, but he had paid the whole of the expense of the sale of the book out of his pocket. He had practically paid betwe-2n £ 30 and 135 1 n addition to what appeared on the balance- sheet. He was under the impression when he got out the facts in the book that he was doing it for the Cardiff Football Club, and not for himself. Having lost £ 30, plus £154, he was certain the committee would not offeir him any such sum of money as that lie thought ;,c5o wat3 proposed by Mr. Reef- He thought £50 wad hardly the sum to offer. After some discussion, Mr. Spiller with- drew his motion, and Mr. Sidney Rees agreed to amend his proposition to leave the copy- right price of the publication to be decided upon by a small sub-committee. He said he had been waiting for members of the com- mittee who had given Mr. Arthur to under- stand that they would see him through to get tip and say so, and if they did that he had no doubt the meeting would see that Mr. Arthur was put right. In answer to a question, Mr. Arthur said there were 276 copies of the book in stock. Mr. Rees' proposition in its amended form was carried, and a email sub-committee ap pointed. Some alterations were made to the bye- laws, and the meeting concluded with a vote of thanks to the president. Dinas Powis Club Re-organised. Owing to the inability of many of last year's players of the Dinas Powis Rugby Club to turn out during the coming season, it. has been-decid-ed to re-organise the club.

PERILS OF THE PIT.I
PERILS OF THE PIT. CHAIN SNAPS: HITCHER KILLED AT PONTYBEREM. Police-sergeant George, of Pontyberem, on Friday reported to Coroner P. W. Nicholas, Carmarthen, a fatal accident at Coal- brook Co-lliery, Pontyberem. It appears that at 12.30 on Thursday afternoon William John Daniel, 5, Wheel-road, Ponty- berem, was on an incline of the colliery, where he was employed as a hitoher. when a link of a cable chain of an empty tram snapped. The tram left the line in its down- ward course, and brought down some timber, which caused a fall of some ten tone of rubbish, under which ■ Daniel was buried. It occupied forty minutes to extricate him, and, as it was believed there was a slight pulsa- tion, artificial respiration was resorted to for quite an hour, at the expiration of which time Dr. M'Clelland arrived on the scene and pronounced life to be extinct. j INJURED BY A Psill, AT PEN YD ARE EN I PIT. o -hany on Friday a pit labourer, riamed Samuel Bond. residing at the back of the Musical Hail Inn, Fenydarren, sustained dangerous injuries to his head aitd body owing to a "fall" from the roof whilst fol- lowing his employment at No. 1 Colliery, belonging to Messrs.

RUN OV'ER BY MOTOK-CAR. I FATAL ACCIDENT TO MERTHYR I BOY. I A distressing motor-car fatality ocourred shortly after twelve o'clock on Friday at Merthyr, the victim being David Thomas, a schoolboy aged nine years, whose parents live at 7, Taff-street, off Brecon-road. The accident happened in Betbesda-etreet. The car belongs to Mr. E. S. Edgar, 7, Princess-gate, imndon, and it was occupied at the time of the misadventure by Mr. and Mrs. E,dgar and the driver, Charles Shurn. They had come from Newport, and whilst proceeding on their way to -Swansea at a very glow paoe along Bethesda-street, a cart coming in the opposite direction pulled one side to give them a clear road. Just then they felt a bump, and, the car being stopped at once for examination, they found that the ooy had been run over, the supposition being. that he had been hanging on to the back of the ca.rt, and had fallen in front of the oar, because the chauffeur did not see him before the accident occurred. The boy was taken to the Cambrian Inn, and it was there found that the car had I passed over the right side of the boy's head. He w-ati attended by Dr. BiddLe, but he sur- vived only a short time.

There wa& a window-cleaner with a cart containing ladders in front. and the defendant drove into this, knocking the ladders all over the road. The horse then ran on t-o the pavement, narrowly missing some children. Witness jumped at the animal's head, and then found that the defendant was drunk. He refused to come out of the cart, but with the assistance of a civilian he was pulled out, and he then kicked witness on the calf of the leg. Defen- dant: I am sorry. I had a little drop too muoh to drink. I don't remember any of it. The stipendiary having ascertained that it was defendant's own tnrn-out, fined him £10 and costs, or two months' hard labour for the assault-

CARDIFF EMPIRE. I A clever sketch will he presented next week by, the well-known actor, Mr. Leo Stormont, who will have as an associate in the pigy ilr. Herbert Waring, the London favourite. Entitled "Exposure," the plot deals with an enthralling story of an artist's studio. Mr. Herbert Waring takes the role of Count Braavin," a wealthy roue, and Mr. Stormont represents Frank Sherwood," an English painter in Paris. Miss Nora Brocklebank plays Viola," the artist's beautiful model, while Miss Aimee Proctor is responsible for "Lucy," Sherwood's sister; Mr. Edward Stafford as "M. Dufois," an officer of police; and Mr. Wilfred E. Shine as the "Abbe Senotre," a parish priest. The scene is laid in Paris in the artist's studio. The Laziest Juggler on Earth," Tom Hearn, is also due next week. The art of laziness has been the life-long study of Tom Hearn. He commenced by working hard, used burnt cork on his features, and made several unsuccessful attempts to get a grip I on the gold reserve by the aid of joke crack- ing. Then he took it into his head to juggle, but it proved very arduous, and he gave it up in favour of laziness. It's not exactly how he lazies, it's the lazy way he lazies which tickles his audience. Charming Ruth Lytton will render a couple of Scottish songs in her usual delightful I manner. Six Imrie Girls, Hall and Earle, Arthur Slater, Little Zola, and "The Water Cure Company are other attractions.

Clause eleven, however, limits the borrowing powers of the proposed Road Board, so that the amount required for the re-paying of the capital and interest on loans shall not exceed any year £ 200,000.
SMALL-POX ON A STEAMERI
SMALL-POX ON A STEAMER I An alarming outbreak of small-pox occurred during the voyage of the West Hartlepool steamer Atlas, which, after fifteen hours' detention, has been released from Quarantine at South Shields. After the steamer left Buenos Ayres fifteen of the crew were stricken with the malady, and had to be landed at Rio. Some days later the mess- room steward was taken ill, but permission to land him was refused at Las Palmas, and be had to be brought to the Tyne. The crew have been vaccinated.
