TO-OAYt SHORT STORY.] The Cesarewitch. I am—or, rather, was—a jockey! There! new I have lost prestige in the eyes of the many thousande of people who it ate "the tun" and all connected, with it; yet I am proud of the fact that I have been a. jockey, and prouder still to know that I was respected by my fellow professionals. Had I the inclination and the ability I could fill a book with facts gained from per- sonal experience and observation—facts which might possibly induce readers to suspect that jockeys, as a class. are as honourable as any other set of professional men; aye, perhaps even more honourable, for the path of no other professional man is so 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. fees 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 un- fortunately a certain section of the public— the uninitiated and therefore cne-tsided section—cannot discern the difference, so far as respectability is concerned, between the jockey and the sharper. But enough of this. Everybody has heard of Tom Kenyon, th once-famous jockey, but everybody has 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 a,nd dressed. Eis hurry was not due to the fact that his visitor wad L peer of thy i.C;illi. 1, joe key- often receive visits from the aristocracy: but Lord Clanmores father—the late Lord Clanrncre—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. :'10 wonder thn tJ1at Tom Kenyon hastened to meet the .on of his old master. He wondered what could be the object of his visit, for it was generally understood that the young lord llad ionaken tho turf. GocxJ, evening, Tom." was Lord Cianmore's gre-et ing as he s-hook the jockey warmly by the hand. "Are you well?" Quite well, my lord. thank you." replied Tom; and then. observing hi3 viitor's care- worn appearance. he added, sorry to see you are noL in the best of health." I'm well enough," said Lord Clan-more; "but I came to see you on a matter of business. In an instant Tom wa-s 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 horded when I came into possession of the estate ?" Perfectly, my lord. That is why I am with Sir Erio Marsden cow." "By-the-bye, how do you get on with the honourable member for Wæt Blankleigh ?" "Excellently, my lord-ahno-st as well as with the late Lord Clanmore." I am glad, but, of course, I expected as much. But I must get on with my confes- sion—for such it is. Do you know why I severed my connection with the turf?'' "Because you were disgusted with it, I ■understand. That was one reason, but not the only- one. The fact is, my father left me practi- oally penniless." Trmi stared at the speaker in undisguised astonishment. It is a fact, Tom. I gave up my horses, I but I did not give up backing others. The I result is, that I am now on the very verge of bankruptcy; and in a short time I am to marry Lady Florence Garthwaite. Con- sequently, within the next few months I must, by some means or other, raise at least Excuse me, my lord," interrupted Tom. "I—er—that is-well. of course, you a.re aware that I owe my present position and my little private fortune entirely to your father. I have about invested in Con- sols. I can soon realise it, and, if you 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 mean. I beg your pardon, my lord—most immbly. I forgot." "Besides. I must raise at least £100,000. I can get a final mortgage of £10.000 on the estate, and if I lose that the mortgage will foreclose, a.nd 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 suoh yarns before, and the conclusion was always a suggestion to "prill" a horse and deliberately loee a, race, so that the pleader might 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 mudl 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 Erio Marsden'a Alpha, in the Cesarewitch. "What 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, ae 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 aan 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 could ecaroely believe his ears. 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 use the jockey's own words, simply indescribable. "11 y lord, you have asked me just at the Tight 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 Beta. Twenty-four hours before the race I shall .have a. very good idea as to the probable winner If you do not hear from 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." "Thanks, Tom. I understand. If I hear nothing I put my money on Alpha; if Alpha is likely to lose I shall reoeive 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 KENYOX. 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. Th." man who was most concerned and puzzled about the condition of Alpha waa Alpha's jockey, for, to Tom's surprise, the animal seemed to recover suddeniy, 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. Slowly, 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 ueck, and Tom felt that, bar accidents, he would win. Then, and not till then, wac; 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-e,nd had not he him. self strongly urged the young lord to back Beta? Only for a few brief moments did Tom hesitate. He thought of his master. Sir Eric Marsden, who had long ago set his mind on carrying off this 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 vi-cw- that of winning at all hazards—he urged Alpha on with whip and spur, and Alpha tobly responded, like the game Irorse he was. The winning-tpost was neared—reached— passed. A hoarse roar of disappointment, a confused hubbub, and a solitary cheer here and there told Tom plainly enough that Alpha had beaten Beta and won the Cesare- witch. And such wae the case. Alpha had won by a short head. Tom Kenyon's honour was saved. Lord Clanmore was 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!" exclaimed Sir Eric Marsden, his face beaming with smiles. "You never xode better in your life, Tom— soever." And then, to add to Tom's disoamCtaBe. LcHai daxu&ore—> 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 whispered the young lord in his unwilling ear; "Tom, you have saved me!" The jockey started. "I put --210,000 on Alpha at twenty to one," continued Lord Clanmore, "and I have cleared £ZOO.OOV. I shall n-ever forget you, Tom." Tom Kenyon could scarcely believe his ears. Yet the excited per was evidently speaking the truth. What did it ail mean? 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 had written to Lord Clanmore, advising him to back Beta instead of Alpha. The letter had never reached Lord Clan- mare, for the very good reason that Tom Kenyon had. in a moment of iorgetfulness, posted it without any name or address on the envelope. It had, of course, journeyed to the "Dead Letter" department of the; General Post-office, where it was opened., Then, like thousands of similarly addressed —or. rather, unaddrea^od—missives, which are dropped into pillar-boxed every year, it. was returned to the writA-

STOLL'S PANOPTICON. Another capital programme has be*" arranged for next week at Stoll's Panop- ticon. The star picture of the week will be the dramatic story, entitled "The Two Friends," the -oene of which is laid in Brittany, where quaint national costumes v ill be seen. Some very charming landscape views are introduced. The pictures are the finest that have been seen at the Panopticon for a long time. Another instructive series depicts "Making a Sailor," in which an insight is given into the lives of French boys during their training for service at fea. "Scenes in Andalusia" are a series of beauti- ful travel subjects, and amongst the many other entertaining pictures to be shown will be "Fat Your Soup," and "The Love Token." Owing to the enormous success attained, Miss Claudia Thorney, the well-known contralto, has been again retained, and Mr. Fred Dyer, the new Welsh baritone, will sing, "My home is far away" and "When the ebb tide flows."

NEWPORT EMPIRE.
NEWPORT EMPIRE. The favourite entertainers, Bella. and 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? 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 of "Baby Mite." Her first appearance was at the famous Day's Concert-hall, Birming- ham, 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 sketchee until the company broke up. The Baby Mite of those days is the Bella of Bella and Bijou of to-day. The Maples, who will give an amusing lesaon 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.

When Jeremiah Collins, a corporation mason, appeared at Cardiff Police-court on Friday to answer a summons by the guardians for not paying towards the main- tenance of hie daughter whilst she was in the workhouse, he said, "I admit the obliga- tion, but I was handicapped financially by accident, and the outcome is that I cannot possibly pay more than past obligations, and, considering that the girl is there through the unscrupulous actions of another, it is very hard for a father to be obligated when others are compensated." His Worship adjourned the ca-se to enable defendant to pay by instalments.

I CARDIFF NEW THEATRE.
I CARDIFF NEW THEATRE. An exceptionally attractive engagement will commence on Monday next, when Messrs. Smith and Carpenter's prinoipal touring company pay a first visit to the New Theatre, Oardiff, with the highly successful dram.L Pete," which drew over 300,000 people to the Lyceum Theatre, London, and has proved equally attractive in the provinces. "Pete" is the joint product of Hall Caine and Louis N. Parker, and they have suc- ceeded, as one might expect from such past masters of the dramatic art, in giving a You'll find you've married the wrong man."—An incident in "Pete." thoroughly h-aman 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- lows:—Pete, finding there is very little oppor- tunity for advancement by remaining in his native town, decides to try his luck in the diamond mines of -ivimberley. He leaves his sweetheart Kate in the charge of his trusted friend Philip. Five years elapse, and Pete being reported dead, Philip outrages his trust. A wire arrives 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 believer 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 both 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 Viotor is the Pete, and Miss Helena Millais sustains the part of Kate.

Cardiff Football Club.I
Cardiff Football Club. J. L. WILLIAMS ELECTED CAPTAIN The annual general meeting of the Cardiff Rugby Club was held in the Park-hall on Friday evening, Mr. W. T. Morgan presiding over a large gathering. With reference to the statement of accounts for the last season, which have already been published, Mr. J. Sydney Kees pointed out that out of an income of no less than E5,000 they were only able to bring forward LI8, and give the miserable sum of X33 to charity. The Secretary (Mr. C. S. Arthur), in answer to questions, stated that the Paris outing cost £ i9U, out of which they received 1,1513 in return, and the Bordeaux trip £260. 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 L412, in the following year ?472. in the next X492 i8s .8d in the following £ 563, next year 9641, and last season £ 790 16s. ad., so that there had been a. gradual increase from £ 414 to jE790 The same remark applied practically to the item of rail fares, and there were cer- tain items of this season considerably in excess of some of the years past. The French trip of 1905 cost £191, and the Bordeaux trip last season ?264. As compared with two seasons ago there were two big ? ?h.?es abandoned-Bla?kheath and I?icest?er-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. Mr C. S. Arthur secretary, and Messis. H. E. Swting and P. E. Robothan auditors. Voting for the Captaincy. Three names were submitted for the 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 follows:- J. L. Williams 343 P. F. Bush. ^w R. A. Gibbs 63 Mr. Williams was declared elected, ana 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 always 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 post of the captain of the reserves reuLW as followsFrank Woods. 502; George Narthmore, 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; R. T. Gabe, 518; Dr. Buist, 475; Percy F. Bush, 423; John Davies, 335; W. M. Douglas, 328; W.

Merrett, 581; J. Eatstone. 452; W. A. Jones, 365; and W. J. Hart, 277. Non-elected:- Messrs. W. Burris. Gus Hayee, 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 lcub, and that the incoming committee should be authorised to pay the sum of P,50 in respect thereof. Apparently, on the books sold Mr. Arthur had obtained a profit, but if Mr. Arthur said that zC50 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 that Mr. Rees 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 between P,30 and £35 in 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 130, plus CI54, he was certain the committee would not offer him any such sum of money as that proposed by Mr. Rees. He thought £50 was 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 up 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 small sub-committee appointed. 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 decided to re-organise the club. This season what was formerly known as the St. Andrew's Club, combined with a few of last year's members of the team, will form the Dinas Powis Club. At the annual meet- ing it was reported that there was a sub- stantial surplus in hand, and that a strong fixture-list was in course of formation. The following ofiicers were elected:—President, Major-general H. H. Lee, R.E., J.P.; captain, W. Hooson; vice-captain, E. Rees; and secre- tary and treasurer, E. Randell, Chapel-lane, Dinas Powifi-

IRUN OVER BY MOTOR-CAR.I
RUN OVER BY MOTOR-CAR. I FATAL ACCIDENT TO MERTHYR I BOY. 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 Bethesda-street. The car belongs to Mr. E. S. Edgar, 7. Princess-g-ate, London, and it was occupied at the time of the misadventure by Mr. and Mrs. Edgar and the driver, Charles Shurn. They had come from Newport, and whilst proceeding on their way to Swansea at a veiy glow pace along Bethesda-stJ^eet, 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 Doy had been run over, the supposition bei,ng that he had been hanging on to the back of the cart, and had fallen in front of the car, 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 passed over the right side of the boy's head. He was attended by Dr. Biddle, but he sur- vived only a short time.
RECKLESS DRIVING.
RECKLESS DRIVING. MILKMAN HEAVILY FINED AT CARDIFF. Owen Thomas James (46), a milkman. was charged on bail at Cardiff on Friday, with assaulting Police-constable George Watts. The officer stated that whilst on duty in Broadway on the previous day he saw the prisoner driving a horse attached to a milk cart in a reckless manner in the direction of Newport. There wab 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 to 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 oart, 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 much to drink. I don't remember any of it. The stipendiary having ascertained that it was defendant's own turn-out, fined him £10 and costs, or two months' hard labour for the aaaault.

I CARDIFF EMPIRE. I
I CARDIFF EMPIRE. I A clever sketch will be presented next week by the well-known actor, Mr. Leo Stormont, who will* have as an associate in the play Mr. Herbert Waring, the London favourite. Entitled "Exposure," the plot deals with an enthralling story of art 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, Hiss Ainaes Proctor is responsible fo-r 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 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 manner. Six Imrie Girls, Hall and Earle, Arthur Slater, Little Zola, and "The Water Cure Company are other attractions.

After the steamer left Buenos Ayres fifteen of the crew were stricken with the malady, and had to be landed at Rio.
