The Sick, Old, & Infirm CARDIFF WORKHOUSE WELL MANAGED An important report conciernlnig the internal government of the Cardiff Work- house by Mr. H. R. Williams (Local Govern- ment Inspector) was read at the Cardiff Board of Guardians this afternoon. In the course of his long report, Mr. Wil- liams said he completed his inspection of the workhouse on November 3. He found there had been much overcrowding from time to time. The difficulty had been met by the removal of old people to the Ely Workhouse and by using houses in Neville and WeLiing-ton-sireett>, and further accom- modation was being provided fo,r 150 inmates at Ely. This would proba-hly meet all requirements for this and next year, though it must not be forgotten that this wae only a. temporary arrangement. The time is fast approaching when the vhole question of providing further accom- modation of a more permanent character must be faced. The guardians were to be congratulated on having" in a very expedi- tious and prompt manner made provision for meet.ing a serious difficulty in regard to accommodation at a very low cost to the ratepayers, and with due regard to the welfare OIf the inmates. He was finding on each visit that the workhouse was assuming more and more the character of an infir- niaxry. Most of the inmates were either siok, old, or infirm, and was, in fact, a sort of gtaded infirmary. If nursery children, unmanned mothers, the feeble-minded, and the vagrants were otherwise provided for only the sick and infirm would remain. There are no really able-bodied paupers in the house. The improvements included additions to the laundry, renovation of maternity ward, other wards, corridors, etc. He had seen nearly all of the 900 inmates, and he heard only three or four complaints] which were settled, he thought, to the satis- faction of the aggrieved. One alleged case of ill-treatment was not supported by any evidence, and it transpired that the charge of rough handling was merely making a man take a bath for his own good against his will, and to enable him to have a change of clothing. In all places he was pleased to observe the cleanliness and good order which obtained throughout the institution with the comfort and care of all the inmates. He concluded: The administration gener- ally appeaerd to me to be of a high order, reflecting a great deal of credit on the mas- ter, medical officers, nurses, and the staff generally." Alderman F. J. Beavan thought, that in such a large house this was very creditable —(hear, hear)-c-,pecialiy in the light of the painful cases, where old people had to shift for themselves, etc., which they read of from other places. They ought to recognise "what a good and energetic staff they had. (Hear, hear.) ( Mrs. Sankey: I think the Press should notice it. (Hear, hear.) Tbo Chairman (Canon Buckley) agreed, and said members should be supplied with copies of the report. (Applause.) This was agreed to.

WHEN WOMEN "FALL OUT." I A Pontymisler women's quarrel whicn was heard by the county justices at New- port to-day had some very amusing features. The parties were Hannah Jones and Harriet Richards, and there were cross summonses. After Mrs. Jones had given her evidence, the clerk in t.he usual way directed the court officer to inquire if defendant had any ques- tions to ask. In her innocence of court ways, however, the defendant turned to complain- ant and said, "Have you any questions to ask me?" The titter which arose gradually gave way to hearty laughter when a young man went into the witness-box to corroborate the complainant's story. The Clerk inquired: Whiat axe you?—A witness. Very vail, take your hands out of your pockets. What do you do when you are not a. witness? .—Work. Where?—In the steelworks. What part?—Top end. What doing?—Wheeling ashes. Are you a labourer?—les. Then why on earth don't you say so? The Bench found both ladies were to blame, and the police were instruct-ed to telephone for their hus- bands to appear and be bound for their good behaviour.

WILD BRITISH CATTLE I The wild oattle of Great Britain hav- become one of the curiosities of the bovine ra-ce in this country, says "Farm and Home." There are only vory few herds of t-hejji remaining, and most of these are diminishing from a -very na-tural cause. Of course, they juo confined in parks, and are jealously guarded from any admixture of alien blood. They are as wild as buffaloes, and are treated in the same way as eT. In colour they arc white, with red ears. and historians assert that they had a large share in the evolution of the Shorthorn, as it is known to-day. It is certain that the colour mentioned very often icrops up quite unexpectedly in our pedigree herds. They will probably become extinct in a few vears. owing to the extreme difficulty of procuring sims unrelated to the heards, and yet of the same breed.

BOY CYCLIST KILLED I The death of Jacob Kut-as, aged fourteen, ,,)f Sp rial fields, was investigated at the City Coronetr's-court yesterday. Several wi -esses c-f the accident said the lad was riding his bicycle among the traffic near the bank, alml "hanging on" t,o a taxi-ca.b. The cab sopped EH1.Jdc;¡)y, and the bicycle came from hbehind the C3. a.nd collided with a motor-bus. The boy fell to the ground, and was injur*d by the motor-bus. He was takern to Sit. Bartho- lomew's Hospital, and his left leg ^.as amputated. He died &oMi afterwards. Ine jury retu/rned a. verdict of "Accidental death.

— — BURGLARS IN ROYAL PALACE Buarglars stole at midnight on Thursday through the windows of Bernstoff Castle, the summer residence of Prince Valdemar, brother of the King of Denmark. They made good their escape with 1100 in cash, besides documents and jewellery. The two sentinels who were guarding the castle observed nothing. The Prince and Princess left Bern- Storff to-day for their winter residence in lopenhagen. The police are energetically parching for the burglars, and are, using blood-hounds to assist them.

PAUPER WITH £ 1,000 It was reported to the Rochford (Essex) Board of Guardians yesterday that an inmate of the workhouse who had died had been found to securities of tb-o face "value of over £ 1,000.

"Must Look Elsewhere" 0 CARDIFF AND MR. LLOYD CEORCE This morning a well-known Bangor Liberal received the following letter from the wife of the Chancellor of the Exchequer:- I do not think there is any danger of Mr. Lloyd George going to Cardiff. Oardiff must look for a representative elsewhere. They have plenty of time. In Bangor the news that the Chancellor will not forsake his old constituency in favour of Cardiff has given great satisfac- tjon Mrs. Lloyd Georgs adds that lir. Lloyd George is very busy, amd tha.t is the reason she writes and not her husband.

Out Relief Increase "STARTLING CARDIFF FICURES At the Cardiff Guardians to-day the Clerk (Mr. A. J. Harris) reported that last week out-relief was g-ranted to 4,465 persons, com- pared with 4.241 last year, at a cost of E558, against X531 a yoar ago. Alderman F. J. Beava.n said these figures were startling and constituted a very large item. They tf-ere going up week by week, and he did not know whether they ought to call together the special committee that had been appointed. Mi-. Gilbert saad he anticipated that at Bairry the figures would be greater this winter than ever they had been before. If they stopped out-relief a.n dforced people into the house it would prove a very costly process. They would have to keep entire families who were now ma,naging on 8s. or 10s. a week. Mr. D. R. Morgan said he was surprised at this a-fte rthiedr decision to force into the workhouse a girl who could maintain her- self in service by giving her a few cLothes. Mr. Gilbert was inconsistent. Mr. Gilgert: Yes, I would force any young woman of that description into the house iOJS a protection to her character. It was agreed that the attention of the relief committees should be directed to this matter.

EQUALITY OF DIVORCE The terms of reference to the Royal Cotf' mission on Divorce (says the "Law Journa-t cover a great deal more than the extenaicn of jurisdiction to the county-courts. 'l'}¡e commission is to report on amendments to be made in the positive law governing m.a.t.J'l- monial ma-tt-ers az wed! as in its adraln,- tra- tion, and the subject of the publication of r,,potu of proce?din? in divor0e is to &P-Wly d?oJt with. The commMeioners øll further have power to make an interil]3 report with a view to enabling imm<edi^te aobioai to be taken for the redress of ally hardship from which in their opinion, the poorer classes may suffer under the exiS^ la.w and administration. It is hoped thai a" approach may be made towards the polod Scottish view that no diiTerefnice is to be between the two sexs in what are to be regarded as matrimonial to divorce, and that, OlD the other hand. the same rights of redress may be accord^ to men as are mow reserved for "the wea.ker sex" by the law relating to setara.tico,

A SHOWER OF SOVEREIGNS La6t night a.t Hyde some lads were given a couple of mafttr?ssc-a to throw upon a bcmare which had been made in honour of Guy Fawkes Day.

Glamorg an Assizes I At Glamorgan Assizes at Cardiff to-day I (before Lord Coleridge), Stole Hymn Books I Henry Alfred Young (19) pleaded guilty to brooking and entering the Baptist Chapel, Maindy, on August 31 and stealing two hymn books and 3s. Did. in money, and was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. No Evidence Offered I Alice Lynch (41), married, was. indicted for that she feloniously d'id kill and slay one Elizabeth Jane Calks-man on September 30 at Cardiff, also on the coroner's inquisition for manslaughter. Mr. Ivor Bowen (for the pro- secution) said that, in view of the fact, that the deceased was found next day in another street with marks of violence which she did not have on the day when prisoner wa-s a-lleged to have pushed her down, he pro- posted to offer no evidence upoin either indictment. His Lordship consented, °and prisoner, on being found not guilty, was dis- charged. Traveller Charged I William Ponsford (40). traveller, was charged on three indiotments with receiving money on behalf of John Halliman and converting it to his own use on February 26, April 8, and April 24, at Cardiff. The total amount said to have been so received was X27 12s. MT. Lovat Fraeer finstructed by Messrs. Harold Lloyd and Cross) was for the prosecution; Mr" J. C. Ga,skell (instructed by fr. F. H. Gaskell) defended. After evidence Mr. Gaskell pointed out in extenua- tion that prisoner had already been six weeks in prison, and that he had a wife and five children dependent. Detective-inspector Harris (City police) sadd prisoner spent little of his time at home and much of it in public- houses, and he was an associate of doubtful characters. His Lordship passed sentence of two months, with hard labour Than ks I I for Three Years Dennis Murphy (27) was charged with eteal- ing 42,g. with violence from Henry Williams Bit Cardiff on Sevtemiber 24. Prosecutor is a timberman, living at High-street, Song- henydd. On the day in question, he alleged, he came to Cardiff and met accused, with whom he partook of drink in public-houses in Bute-street and neighbourhood. Finally, m HalketTStreot, Canton, priconer seized pro- seeutor by the throat, threw him down, and tore his trousers pockets, and took th.e money, and also the muffler from his neck. The jury brought in a verdict of guilty. There were previous convictions, and accord- ing to the police record, prisoner never works, is of violent habits, and associates with disreputable characters. He was sent to penal servitude* for three years. "Thank you, my lord," said prisoner as he briskly turned and ran with a light step down the stairs. "Something Glittering' I Ivy Feathers-tone (31), was indicted for causing grievous bodily harm to Elizabeth Buckley, of Angelina-street, on September 18. The facts for the prosecution, outlined by Mr. Ivor Bowen, were that on the night in question, after a trifling altercation in the street, prisoner turned upon her antagonist, a,nd threa;teming to gOfUge her eye out, struck her with an instrument which was described as somothing glittering," and the next day at Cardiff Infirmary the injured eye-the left —'was removed. Prisoner denied having in her hand an instrument of any sort, and called a witness, who said Mrs. Buckley had a pipe in her mouth at the time. There were previous convictions, and prisoner was stated to be a quarrelsome woman when in drink- Ilis lordship passed sentence of ten months.

"A WASTE OF TIME." I I Mr. D. R. Morgan was again in evidence at the Cardiff B-cu.rd of Guardians this after- noon, when, amid cries of dissent, he per- sisted in drawing attenbion to the oaae of a girl, who, he alleged, had been discharged from the workJhcuse in an unfit state to get a siunatioiii as a domestic servant. He said the girl's skirt had been destroyed by the workhouse cU sin fee tor, and he moved that she be supplied with a new skirt a,nd waxin underolo thing. He thought they should encourage girls to sleep out of the house, and maintadn themselves rathex than return to the pooirhouise to be kept by the ra.te- payers. It was a deserving cate. He had known the girl for two years, he had found her one situation, and w?s prepared to find bar another. Mr. J. J. Ames said he also inquired into this case, and when he saw the girl he advieed her to return to the workhouse and get fit to take a situation, as she eppeared to be too nervous to go to work. Mr. Morgan said he was surprised a.t Mr. Ames. He got her to go to one other guardian to obtain the sympathy of the board. He thought it a shame too tthe girl should be treated so. Mr. Ames said he was surprised to find that the girl came hack to the workhouse to make her cam piaint after. she had slept out in Gathays Park one night. MT. W. J. Travers sadd this was metre waste of time, and he thought that, under Mr. ¡org¡a.ns's advocacy, it was a desire to have another dig at the officials. (Applause, and laughter.) Mr. W. J. Jones seconded the proposition, but it was overwhelmingily defeated. Mr. Morgan pressed for names, but the ohairman (Canon Buckley) said he co-uld not allow that—it wae wasting time. (Applause.)

"Slept in a Barn." o HEWPORT WOMAN'S ALLEGATIONS He has a curious shortsightedness in looking to- work." This wae the description of Mr. Lyndon Cooper of a man, named John Owen Williams, a tramp, who was summoned at Newport to-day on a charge of neglecting his three children, aged nine, five, and two years respectively. Inspector Sparks, of the National Society for the Prevention ctf Cruelty to Children, said he found the children wet to the skin on the road at Langstone. They had been. taken from the Wegtbury Workhouse a few days before. One night the only rest and shelter they had was by standing under a tree. The wife had told him that her hus- band would not work. Williams told witness that he had a home to take his family to at Ga-s Works Cottages, Caerphilly, but on going there the inspector found the address given was an empty house. Frances WiEiam.3, wife of prisoner, said they were married in Hereford Registry Office in 1889. She left her husband in April last. This was on account of prisoner's violence toward her, and his disinclination to get work. They subsequently went to West bury Workhouse, but on the 23rd of October prisoner came and toak them out. They walked seven or eight miles that even- ing and slept at the house of a friend. The following day they tramped ten or twelve miles, and in the nightwtood under the trees for rest and shelter. Next day they walked to Chepstow, where the wife and eldest daughter slept in front of the fire at a lodg- ing-hoaise and the father and. other children slept in a stable. Again, the next night they all slept, wet through, in a barn at Llan- vaches, and on the following day they were found by Inspector Sparks and Inspector Barry. (Proceeding. )

TO-DAY'S FOOTBALL. Cardiff v Leicester BRILLIANT WEATHER-A DEPERATE CAME By PENDRAGON." Rugby football is very much in the ascen- dant at Leicester this season, and for the time being at all events the Association code is quite in the background. Never before have the Rugbyites been favoured rvith such a, big gate, and never before have they enjoyed such prosperity from ,the playing as well as the financial standpoint. Thus it was that in the hotels and cafes at Leicester this morning one only heard dis- cussed the prospects of the match between the Tigers and the famous Cardiff Rugby team. Although the Fosse and Birmingham wede also playing at home this afternoon every- where one encountered evidence cf the advance in popular favour of tne grand old Rugby, and, quite naturally, the visitors from the Welsh Metropolis were not dis- pleased with this. During the forenoon Mr. A. C. Crumbiethe, the ever genial secretary of the Leicester Club, conducted a party of Cardiff commit- teemen and leading players down to the club's compact and finely-appointed ground, where the Welshmen became quite envious of the new pavilion erected not long since at a cost of £ 1,200. No other Rugby club in Great Britain has such a perfect pavilion, for there is every convenience for players and officials, and even the referee has a private room set apart for his use, nicely furnished and containing the bath. The ground in the morning was a. trifle soft, but under the influence of a. warm sun it had dried considerably by the afternoon, and was in excellent playing condition. THE TEAMS HOPEFUL. There was no mistaking the fact that the! Tigers expected to win for they held the view that the advan"ge of ground would be the determining factor in their favour On the other hand, the Cardiffiajis also were very confi-den t Every man of them w a;s as fit as a fiddle, and they were all keenly anxious for success. They were greatly enocuraged by the knowledge that Gwyn Nicholls was turning out, for the presence of the brilliant veteran always means much to the blue and blacks The young forwards too, were eager for the fray, and bent upon demonstarting that the high opinion formed of them in the past couple cf matches was thoroughly justi- fied. Thus all the portents pointed to a des- perately exciting game with the side showing just a. little superior finesse being likely to win. By the writer that superior finesse was expected to be exhibited by the bold blue and blacks. Just after three o'clock the players turned out in this order. Leicester: Back, E. J. Jackett; three- quarters, Percy Lawrie, Kenneth Wood, J. W. D. Smith, and if. Flude; halves, J. R. VVatson (captain,n and G. W. Wood; for- wards, S. Spennv. A. J. Hobbs, G. Greaeley, T. B. Hogarth, H. S. Lawrie, J. C. Burt, G. Hopkins, and W. S. Ellis- Cardiff: Back, R. Williams three-quarters, J. L. Williams, L. M. Dyke, G. Nicholls, and I W. Spiller; halves, W L. Morgan and P. F. Bush; forwards, F. Smith, J. Pugeley, D. Wes- tacott, W. Jenkins, W. Groves, C. Brookman, C. Jellings, and C. Scanlon. Referee, Mr. A. AndrewS. London. and Mr. Linesmen, Mr. J. Collier, Leicester, and Mr. John Davies, Cardiff. Because of the importance of the match the gates were opened earlier than ueual, and half an hour before play began there were several thuosand spectators present. Right at the last Cmoment it was found that E. J. Jackett was too unwell to play at back for Leicester, and his nlace was filled by Harry Lawrie, one of theforwards, while the vacancy in the pack was filled by R. C. Wat- chorn. The only other absentee' from tie home regular players was Lieut. M'lntyre, one of the forwards. The sun was still shining beautifully' when the teams entered the arena at fifteen minutes past three, but as it shone right across the ground it gave not the slightest advantage to either side. There was hardly a breath of wind stirring, that the conditions were absolutely perfect lor a fast, pretty, and open game. The Game. I In the presence of 10,000 spectators play commenced, with the .excitement at fever pitch. It was noticed that the Leicestre forwards were much weightier than the CaCr- diff pack. Fred Smi'h started for the visi- tors, and from Dixie Smith's reply Dyke found touch with a, fine kick right at the corner flag. Scrummaging ensued close to the home line, but H Laurie gained some relief with a short kick to touch. W. Jenkins broke away beautifully and running like a three-quarter there seeined a great chance for a try, when he parsed out. J. L. Wil- liams intercepted a pass for J. R. Watson, and ran up to H. Lawrie nearly at the quarter-line, where he passed to Percy Bush, who ran over, but the transfer was adjudged forw.ard, and the try was disallowed. This was extremely hard luck for Cardiff, as it was doubtful whether the pass was a forward one. Leicester were now getting the ball from the scrums much oftener. and their I threes" were showing very good form, but they were well marked by the Cardiff quar- tette. Breaking up the scrums quickly and rushing like demons, the Leicester forwards reached the visitors' 25, and Bobby Williams wa? forced to .concede a minor. Ca.rdin ??t?d passing, but Dyke missed a, rather 1 cult paas from J. L Williams, and hot Play ensuo-d well inside the Cardiff half, Proves being stretched out with a nasty kick on the knee C~ ardiff Half-tame scoire: 3 points I Oa-pdiff .? 3 points r;r .ldtint.s Three-quarter time: Cardiff, 3 points; .Lei- cester, nil.

Lloyd, P.C. Pool- MI", Rev: A. E. C. Morgan, Tom Thomas, Fred David, Tim Jenkins, R. K. Green, and Howell Davies. Referee: Air. Llew. George, Cardiff. About 1,000 persons went up from -Neath by special train to .Newport, and whilst waiting tor the tea.ms to appear they sang the Nea-til war-pong, which had been adapted from the Waliabies. There was scarcely a. breath of Wind, and the ground,, though a little damaged in tile shade, was quite nice for a. last game. When the teams fielded, at 3.15, t-nere was an attendance of about 6,000. I THE GAME. I lJavid kicked off for Newport, and after the usual exchanges titanley Williams, the home full ba-c.li, touind centre touch. Dunn, the Newport scriim half, got off-side, and was penalised, with the result that the bali was taken into toach well "within the Newport half. 'he Neath forwards ruished away into the home r15, where a terrific battle of foot- work ensued. The all blacks gained a few ya-rds, and looked hke slipping over with a try. (Stanley Williams made a mark, but fo.hled to find touch with the kick. P. Reee, the Aeath left centre, luckily found touch a yard from the home line. Then, when the ball came out, Neath develoiped a passing attack towards the right wing. -Lhey had t-he home line at their mercy if they could have handled with precision, but it dropped down at 1,1106 centre, and the advantage gained was nulliiied. Still, Neath were attacking in the hœue 25, but a moment of slackness arrived, and Uaz-le st.art-ed a lo,c)se dribble, and Baker took it on out of danger beyond the Z5 yards' nark- Then the horje forwards began to ruish the game. Charlie Pritchard put his bead down, and, ^th Phil Waller, began to güt, their weight into the scrum. Newport- had now clea.rly got out of the tight corner, after Neath had kept them in for a long tame, and they began to do some sharp attacking, Plummer put in a couple of smart sprints, but was SHADOWED BY JACK DA. VIES, the Neath left wing. A splendid chance, how- ever, came a-fter pl-rammer had cross-punted. Three Newport three-quarters were only covered by two Neath men, but the pass intended for Ba.ker was badly given by Cold- rick and a g-kxrious oha-mce was missed. New- port kept on the attack, and ought to have done something tangible from the kick, 'which sent the ball into touch only half-a-dozen yards from the Neath lime. Green, one of the most burly of the Neath forwards, made a fine relieving rush., It was a fast and, at times, desperately hard game, with no quarter on either side and plenty of hard knocks. Edwards, the Neath full back, did useful work in touch-find inrg. On more than one occasion Walter Martin got the ball nicely frotm D-ann, and made the necessary open- ings, but Ooldrick, at centre, was too slow in getting into .position and giving his pass. The Neath forwards, taking advantage of misfielding on the part of the Newport halves, rushed up and forced play "ell into the home 25. Btrennan, the Neath outside half, got what looked like a fine chance, but did not develotpe a three-quarter movement in time. Still, Neath hun™ on at the home 25. At last. Fred Burt, and Martin, by means of a couple o:f useful flying kicks, sent the ball back to the Neath 25. but the all blacks' eight BE A "EWPQRT FOR POSS ESS I ON, and got the ball away, Green and Pullman toeing very prominent. Walter Martin got in a Dut which W. iooes, tlie Neath centre, failed -To field. Baker rushed up, and looked like getting sufficient command to make a score possible, bu.t the ball rolled into touch. There could be no doubt about the and excitement of the play, which found I expression in many cheers and counter- oheera from the crowd. Half-time score: G. T. P'ts.

The Coming Contest —— —— WELSH-SUMMERS FIGHT Johnny Never More Confident. 3 The weather being of glorious character at Brighton to-day, Johnny Summers again had ample opportunity for out-door exercise in preparation for his fight with Welsh on Mon- day. He indulged in walking in the morning. He is very much in favour of this method of getting fit, and it apparently suits him as he looks and feels in fine condition. Afterwards he had a turn of ball punching and skipping. He will go through the usual training to- morrow, and by Monday lie should be in as good fettle as trained hands can make him. Yesterday afternoon he went through the ordeal of the camera, stripped in various poses, and from what he says it was a some- what chilly proceeding. Johnny makes no secret of the fact that he has a tough job in hand, but he says he was never more confi- dent. He has the best wishes of many Brighton friends. A Breathless Experience To see Fred Welsh fight (says a corre- spondent) is a revelation and a breathless experience. For the first eight or nine rounds he is the cool, skilled boxer-a master of the art-and you watch him with interest and with comfort. B"t after about half through a twenty-round figrht (and Welsh is essentially a long-distance fighter) he warms to his work. Then is the time you see the real Pred, the man Wales and the whole of America know and rave o'er, and you can understand Jim Jeffreys' enthusiastic ad- miration for him. About this stage a com- plete and a startling ohange comes over the man. You may know when it is corning. The hazel eyes, at all times lustrous, sparkle with a dazzling light. It is as though an electric jet were suddenly turned up; a white fire seems to emanate from him, and he is inspired by a passion- ate energy that, like a seething mountain torrent of his own country that long pent up has broken bounds, carries all irresist- ibly before it-and in spirit you go with it. At g-uch times Fred moves with incredible swiftness far faster than the eye can follow, and his blows are as flying hail; any- where, everywhere, from every possible and seemingly impossible quarter they come with the snap and precision of a flexible steel thong, and scourge unerringly again and again the same weakened spot. Faster a-nd faster goes the pace, till the adversary, bewildered and weakened, can strive no more; while Welsh himself is still un- scathed and untouched, apparently ready at the finish to repeat the whole perfor- mance. In one of his fisrhts Welsh for the first ten rounds was boxing quietly, and his opponent was doing well and looking quite happy at the eleventh. Suddenly, in a flash, as though he had torn off and <"art aside a cloak, the real Welsh emerged and set about him Never was amazement and norror written more plainly on any face than that of the poor lad who up to that ha-d known nothing of his formidable oppo- nent. It was a.s though the countenance of one he thought he knew had suddenly changed to that of a terrifying granger. and the end was very swift. Most aptly has Fred been called The Hurricane Fighter" and "The Whirlwind." Summers a "Tvke" Johnny Summers, writing to "Boring," says It is quite trns that I am a York- slvir-emian, and, as you properly said in your paper last week, r Stave been so long asso- ciated with Oa.nning Town that I never contradicted the report that I hailed from anywhere else but the East End of London. My sta.} s,t Brighton has built me up wonderfully, and thanks to my sparring partners, and chiefly Ha.rry Paul (Stepney) and Charlie Cooper (Lambeth), I am as fit as hands can make me, and if I fail to win the championship next Monday I will have no excuse to offer. I will win 0Ir lose on my merits. I know from reports that Welsh is a good man, and from his performances in America, as well as in this country he is the best Mr. Bsttinison could find to meet me, and I know how much depends upon the result." rie dy Welsh at Merthyr To-night A great reception awaits Freddie Welsh at Merthyr to-night. He has arranged to act as timekeeper in the Bradl.v-Gyo-ns contest. and a telegram to his training quarters at Pontypridd late last evening stated that a large crowd would await his arrival at the station. Welsh's official capacity at the contest is an endeavour to benefit a "brother sport" who is not enjoying the best of luck and his presence in the ring. it is antici- pated. will carry money. Bradly boxes Gy.ons for 50 per cent, of the gross receipts, and Freddie Welsh is to receive 10 per cent of the grass receipts for acting- as time- keeper. This the popular little champion will generously give to Bradly whichever wpv the result will go To Welsh and Summers The manger of Cyclone Johnny Thompson, Mr. L/arfley Lie h ten stein, says that if Thomp- son wins against Pa<>ky McFarland, as he predicts, he would like to meet either Johnny Summers or Fred Welsh at the National Sporting Club if the management of the club can Be their way to entertain the mat-ch.

Explosives in Paris TWO MEN ARRESTED I Three rather strong explosions having been heard in the Rue des Lyonnais this morning, a raid was made by the police on some apart- ments occupied by two Russian refugees, when a quantity of nitric aoid, glycerine, and various powders were seized. The two occupants, who are in custody, I describe themselves as Berlinoff (24) and Martinoff (25), but from documents found in their possession they seem to have been parsing under aliases. Their explanation is that the explosives were left in their care by a friend who had returned to Russia, that they began handling them, and caused the explosions by their ignorance.—Reuter.
