ANOTHER VICTORY.
ANOTHER VICTORY. THE SCARLETS AT MORRISTON. ONE MORE STUBBORN CONTEST. [BY OUR SPORTING CORRESPONDENT.] I believe I was the only Llanelly press-man at Morriston on Saturday. The rest were at Stradey, either engaged in the press and police match, or spectators thereof. Doubtless, it will be said, I should have been there also, but there was a special "reason that took me away, and I ask my readers to believe that if bodily absent from the scene of the encounter, my spirit was at Stradey. As circum- stances, however, necessitated my presence at Morriston, a few comments on the game, coming from a man on the spot, will I hope, be acceptable to the fraternity at Llanelly, for few indeed, were the followers of the Scarlets on Saturday. I don't think I have ever travelled by excursion train with the Llanelly team in so attenuated a company as on Saturday. I doubt if more than fifty of us availed ourselves of the privilege placed at our disposal by the G.W.R. Company. It was a bad speculation for the railway com- pany, you may well conclude. For once in my life, I was sorry for the railway monopoly, for it Seemed a shame that such a fine train, equipped as it was with first-classes and a saloon, should leave Llanelly almost empty. I luxuriated in a handsomely furnished first, by way of a change, of course, and we had a fairly long time to enjoy the luxury, for the rate of travelling was by no means rapid, especially from Landore, around which we flirted for a considerable time ere we made tracks for Morriston. Upon arriving at our destination, I astonished a native by inquiring the way to the football field. I Was at a loss to account for the astonishment, and asked him cos why," pointing out to him that this was my first visit to Morriston. What!" he exclaimed. never been here before ?" I owned UP to the admission like a man, despite the fact that it drew from the native a look of mingled pity and contempt that amused me as much as it hurt him. However, at heart, he couldn't have been snch a bad fellow, for he came and shewed me the Way and left me safely inside the gate. I wished he had taken me a longer way round, I for it was along time before the teams arrived and ere the oval had been kicked off, I had been chilled to the marrow. The Llanelly team left the excur- sion at Landore and drove over to Morriston in a break-an arrangement explained by the fact that football accommodation at Landore has not been provided on such lines as will permit of two teams being comfortably housed at one and the same time. Sometime before the contestants put in an appearance, the ropes had been lined ever so many deep with enthusiastic followers of the game. The Interest in the encounter at Morriston was intense, it being obviously regarded as the match of the season. Everybody was talking about it, and everybody came too see it-a condition of thiiags Which was eminently satisfactory to the Morriston Club, which is sadly in need of material additions to the exchequer. The need was forcibly expressed by a prominent Member of the home team. Upon taking a pre- liminary walk over the turf, some fond supporters of the Morristonians asked him what he con- > sidered were the prospects of the game. He tnade the characteristic reply that he didn't care anything about the prospects of the game; what he was concerned about were the prospects of the gate." Subsequent events shewed that there was no real cause for alarm, as the followers of the game came in crowds, and justifies one in stating that it was the large largest body of spectators seen on the Morriston field this season. In regard to thegameitwis stubbornly- sometimeq fiercely-contested. There can be no doubt that the Morristonians are a powerful lot, not in com- bination, but individually. If they were half as Strong in combination as they are individually we should be hearing a great deal more of them than We do. They kick, run, tackle and dribble splen- didly but they know next to nothing of the Passing game. I doubt if their three-quarters got the oval from their halves once during the whole of the encounter, and when the three-quarters did chance upon the leather, they never attempted a combined attack upon the opposing goal. This Was fortunate for Llanelly, because if the homesters were even moderately versed in the higher depart- ments of the game I don't know how the Scarlets could have come off victors. It has to be frankly admitted that Llanelly were not up to their usual form on Saturday. If they had only played up as they ought and can, they Would have had something better to shew at the end of the game than a win by three points. The fact is, their passing was erratic and irregular. It lacked precision and finish, and was deplorably ^punctual. It is anything but flattering to the visitors also tha.t for practically the whole of the first half, they were put strictly on the defence by the home team. ALlIoNvances have certainly to be made for this in riewof the fact that the homesters had the advan- ce of the wind in the first portion of the game, ut when the allowance had been made, the long Period of defensive tactics which the Scarlets had to adopt disclosed a condition of affairs not entirely Worthy of a team with the reputation to which lanelly has attained. b It is true that from time to time in the latter b4if of the initial portion of the encounter, the 80arlets made incursions into the home half, but ?ey were not well sustained, and at half-time the bo'I,te-ter,s were leading by a penalty goal and a ew minors to nil. t As to the penalty goal obtained by the home te4- 111, thereby hangs a tale. Morriston were play- 1. 119 m front of the Llanelly goal mouth, and the all was kicked down to the line. Evan Lloyd ::cured and was making his way outwards into the J when he was tackled and fell on the ball. ot releasing the oval quickly enough the visitors .ere penalized and Morriston had no difficulty in eking an easy goal. As a matter of fact, Evan °yd did not intentionally delay the game by lying Olathe ball. It subsequently transpired that it as quite impossible for him to get off the oval, laavillg been winded by the heavy tackle that laid llnl 10 Of t w. Of course, the referee did not know this a the ¡:i 1 he me, and he expressed regret at his ruling w len he was acquainted with the facts of the case, !J' In the second half, Llanelly had all the best of the al1le a d 'f gam 6' and if the Scarlets had but shewn their usual lmCy in passing they would have doubled the feJorlty ? points by which we won. Morriston fel appreciably and only occasionally shewed 1^ the ?ctiveness they exhibited in the early Port1'0 the game. In the initial half, the home *»ame- the initial half, the home forwS Were "? great form, and for a long time Were ll&ViD g the best of the play. However, they didn't wear well, and throughout the second half, the Scarlet ups were an easy first, their reserve of energy and resourcefulness in tactics contrasting favourably with the ebbing powers (f their opponents. The back play of the visitors, although not up to the usual standard, was streets in front of that of the home team. Morriston had no notion of the passing game. Individually, they were strong enough. They kicked, ran and tackled well, but of combination, there was none. Badger and Bevan played very fine games. The latter scored both tries in very fine style, his hard. powerful runs being much admired. On one or two occasions, however, he was a trifle wild and placed himself in front of his centre. This indiscretion was painfully evident on one occasion, when a certain try wns lost in consequence. There can be no doubt that our passing system must improve if we are to make a decent show against Newport in a fortnight's time. Our present style is anything but good enough. The finest player an the home side was Austin, the full-back, who played an exceedingly fine game. He kicked, ran, and tackled magnificently, and on the day's form was a much better man than Joe Davies. The most that can be said about the match played between the St. Peter's Stars and the Moonlights was that it was fiercely contested from beginning to end. It is a pity that these junior teams do not play the proper game. Football was not intended as an outlet for the latent savagery of juveniles. It was intended for honest amusement and recreation. The game on Saturday had not been in progress many minutes before Mr. Harry Bowen had to order one of the players off the field. I hope this will be a lesson to all our junior teams.
LOCAL FOOTBALL MATCHES.
LOCAL FOOTBALL MATCHES. LLANELLY V. MORRISTO.N.-The third match of the season between these teams was played at Morriston on Saturday, the teams fielding as follows :—Morriston: Back, D. Austin; three- quarter backs, Tom White (captain), Jack Davies, Harry Rees, and Rees Brazell half-backs. Ross Thomas and Jere Edwards; forwards. Tom Roberts, Tom Harris, Ll. Thomas, D. Jenkins. W.

Daniel, W. Morris, Steve Thomas, W. J. Thomas, D. Thomas, P. J. Davies, J. Jones, and Ben James. Referee: Mr. Gil Evans (Swan- sea). In the first half the homesters had the advantage of the slope, and gave Llanelly a bad time of it. Minors came freely, and at length a penalty goal, Morriston being given a "free" iN front of the visitors' goal-mouth, the referee holding that Evan Lloyd had interrupted play by lying on the ball. As a matter of fact, however, Evan was unable to get up, having been winded by a heavy tackle. In the second half, the visited asserted their undoubted superiority, and by superior play in every department made rings round their opponents. Morgan Bevan got in twice at the corner, but neither try was converted, The game ended in a win for Llanelly by 2 tries, 2 minors to a penalty goal and 5 minors. ST. DaviD's STARS.—We are asked to state that the St. David's Stars would like to arrange fixtures with junior teams. Communications should be made to Ernest Rees, Wellington House, Burry Port. MOONLIGHTS V. ST. PETER'S STARS.—A large measure of interest was taken in the above match which was played on Saturday at Stradey, The teams are great rivals and the match had been keenly looked forward to. After a fierce contest the Moonlights won by a try to nil. The try was scored by Oakley. FFLINFOEL ROVERS V. DAFEN SCORGERS, —The above teams tried conclusions at Felinfoel on Saturday last. The home team were minus one of their best men, owing to his being called upon to fill the vacancy caused by the inability of Dai Lewis to play for the Press team, A hard game ended in a win for the Scorgers by 2 tries to nil.

BURIED THREE TIMES.
BURIED THREE TIMES. EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE IN A WELSH QUARRY. On Friday afternoon an extraordinary accident occurred at the Dinorwic Quarries, Llanberis. A man named Thomas Roberts, who resides at Brynrefail, was working a crane in one of the galleries of the quarry, when he was buried by a large heap of rubbish. A shout from his mates made known to the whole gallery that a man had been buried under a fall. The men succeeded in clearing away a large quantity of boulder. Suddenly one of the rescuers cried, Silence, boys," and from beneath the fall could be dis- tinctly heard the voice of the injured man urg- ing his mates to continue to work in the direc- tion they were proceeding, and that they would soon reach him. He assured them he was not very badly hurt. Inspired by a new hope, the men worked with a will, and before long had cleared the rubbish until the man's head appeared in sight. While they were pro- ceeding with their work, however, a loud shout of 'Ware made the rescuers conscious of some new danger, and they were compelled to fly, while a second fall once more buried their unfortunate fellow. Once more the men worked away at the rubbish, and, after a lengthy toil, reached the object of their search and managed to free him, with the exception of his legs, when another fall occurred. On this occasion a huge boulder, about four tons in weight, came rolling down, passing within a few inches of the place where the head of the injured man had been. In its train the boulder brought down another fall, which buried the man for the third time, and carried away with it the boards which had been put up to stop the flow of the rubbish. The men, once more went to work, and this time rescued their mate, who was still alive but seriously inj ured, after about two hours' hard toil. Under the direction of the Hon. W. W. Vivian and Dr. Mills-Roberts, the injured man was carried to the hospital, where he is progressing favourably.
OUR HARBOUR DUES.
OUR HARBOUR DUES. AN ABNORMALLY HIGH RATE. I IMPORTANT STATEMENT BY MR. FOWLER. At a meeting of the Llanelly Harbour Commis- sioners, held on Monday at the Town Hall, Mr. D. W. Rees presiding, the harbour engineer (Mr. Fowler) reported on the harbour and pilotage dues at Llanelly as compared with those of Burry Port as follows:— I have been engaged upon making a comparison of the charges for towage and pilotage at Llanelly and other ports, and if Swansea is taken into consideration the charges both for towage and pilotage at Llanelly are abnormally high.

Were those at Swansea too low or those at Llanelly too high. Mr. Fowler said he had the figures from Cardiff and Newport, but he had not compared them with of Llanelly as yet. He had forwarded a copy of those these tariffs to each Commissioner. Mr. John Thomas Is not the harbour towage of Llanelly a penny per ton ? Mr. Fowler No, threepence per ton. Mr. John Thomas Years ago it used to be a penny per ton. I think there is more cause for complaint in reference to harbour towage than any- thing else. When boats get clear of the harbour, they steam out under their own steam. When harbour towage is high, it cripples everything. The Chairman said he was going to suggest that the report of Mr. Fowler be considered at the next meeting of the Pilots Committee. At the same meeting they hoped to receive a report of the result of the conference between the pilots and tug owners, and moreover, there were a few additional com- plaints against pilots which had to be considered. All these matters could be considered at a special meeting of the Pilots' Committee. Mr J. Thomas asked what power the Com- missioners had to interfere with the harbour towage. Was it within their jurisdiction? Mr. Fowler replied that they had power to license tugboats for service in the harbour and no doubt the Commissioners had power to fix the tariffs as elsewhere. The Chairman said that question had already [ come up for consideration. Mr. J. Thomas contended that no definite answer had been given. He desired to know when they were likely to have the draft of the regulations come to by the piiots and the tugowners. Mr. Fowler: The whole matter was discussed between the tugowners and the pilots, and there was a suggestion on the part of the pilots that the tngowners should make a rebate of 22s. per week, which was submitted to the tugowners and Mr. Coombs appeared to be in favour, but when they came to discuss it together, the tugowners decided that they could not fall in with the idea. The pilots will, therefore, reconsider the question and Mr. Coombs will forward a schedule of the different arrangements proposed to be made, I expect that the matter will be decided between the pilots and the tugowners, Mr. Hopkins Would it not be better to send each tugowner a copy of Mr. Fowler's report on the dues of Llanelly and Swansea compared ? The Chairman If it is your pleasure. Mr. Maybery took it that the Commissioners would be furnished with copies of the report. The Chairman: Certainly. Mr. Trubshaw thought that before any steps could be taken, they should have the dues of Llanelly compared with those of Cardiff and Newport. The Chairman: The figures are here. Mr. Trubshaw But Mr. Fowler said he had not had time to compare them with those in vogue at Llanelly. Mr. Fowler That is so. The Chairman remarked that a copy of the comparative table had been furnished to each Commissioner. Mr. Guest said he had received a copy, but had failed to make much out of it. If Mr. Fowler compared the figures as he had done in the case of Swansea and Llanelly, it would help the Com- missioners a great deal. Mr. Fowler: I don't know the localities of Cardiff and Newport well. This is why I took Swansea first. It would be almost necessary to visit Cardiff and Newport to make an accurate comparison. Mr. Guest suggested that Mr Fowler should get the particulars from the two ports named. The Chairman: The difficulty is that in the schedules they only give land points, and not the distances. Mr. Fowler said he would endeavonr to take the distances off the charts. The Chairman The particulars would help us very much. It was then resolved that the question be referred for consideration to the Pilots' Committee.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY TEMPERANCE…
GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY TEMPERANCE UNION. I INTFRESTING MEETING AT LLANELLY On Tuesday fternoon last about 250 persons partook of a very enjoyable tea at Park Church Schoolroom, held in connection with the Llanelly branch of the above Union. The tables were beautifully decorated and were presided over by the following ladies:—Misses Loo Carter, P. Palmer, S. J. Morgan, Griffiths, Sarah Jones, Dewsbnry, A. Evans, M. Morgan, C. Jones, and Thomas. Valuable assistance was also rendered by Misses Bee Perrot, Louise Williams, Daisy Matthews,and Mrs.Knotts. The caterers were Messrs. J. Morris & Son, Station-road, and great praise is due to them for the excellent manner in which they carried out the arrangements. In the evening a public meeting (interspersed with vocal music) was held in the same place, the chair being taken by J. H. Rogers, Esq,, Glyncoed. The first item on the programme was the secretary's (Mr. J. Snowdon Carter) report, which read as follows: "Mr. Chairman, Ladies and gentlemen,— It gives me very great pleasure to see so many friends here to-night to encourage us with the work of temperance. We are not working for ourselves alone, but also for our fellow-workmen, and there- fore we deserve encouragement. Last year we held the first annual meeting at St. Paul's Church Schoolroom and we met with every success, and we thought it would be right to hold this meeting in a chapel so that the public may not think that our teraperance union is attached to any particular denomination. I will just say a few words with reference to the formation of our branch and will leave it to the other gentlemen here to do the speaking part of the programme, as they are better able to do so than myself. In June '95 we opened our branch with a membership of 25. Since that data our number has gradually increased until it has reached 80, made up exclusively of railwaymen. Of course, this does not represent the number of railwaymen at Llanelly who are total ab- stainers but it is a very good percentage. There are many railwaymen at Llanelly who are temperance men but do not see the necessity of joining our union, but I think you will agree with me that they ought to join as they would be able to explain to those in the habit of taking intoxicants the benefit they derive by being total abstainers. It might be interesting to know that nearly all the large railway companies in Great Britain have followed the footsteps of the G.W.R. Company and established Temperance Unions among their em- polyees. They give them every advantage, granting them the free use of their halls, etc., in which to hold their meetings and also free passes for the men, wives and children to travel from one place to another to render assistance to the various branches. The G.W.R. Company have even gone so far aa to grant free passes to persons not in their employ who may be desirous of giving the men any assist- ance. On the other hand, the directors shew very little sympathy with a person who falls into disgrace through liking alcoholic bever- ages as they feel they cannot place confideace in such men as their loose actions on duty under the influence of strong drink might result in serious loss of life for which the company might be held responsible. The G.W.R. Temperance Union, I am pleased to say, has the largest number of men who have pledged themselves to be temper- ance advocates of any other railway company, the number exceeding 8,000 and if possible we mean to retain our position although the L. & N. W. and other companies are running close behind us. Going back to our own Branch I am thorough- ly satisfied with the progress ft has made. At the time it was started many expressed their opinions that we would soon give it up, but we have not done so yet and I am sure it is not our intention to do so. We hold meetings on the second Sunday of each month and if there is any lady or gentleman hue who would like to come and give us a short address we would be most pleased of the assistance. Our friend here the Rev. Elvet Lewis has been with us once or twice and in the course of one of his addresses he said that it was essential that rail- wiymen above all should study temperance principles as he regarded them as the trustees of ¡iJt,c saf?.ty and indeed it is gratifying to say that his words left a very deep impression.upon those present, and they are looking forward to have the pleasure of a visit from Mr. Lewis again. I may mention that our Union is not a financial concern, all that the members have to p&y is Is. entrance free in return for which they receive a nice certificate aud medallion. All the posts held by the members are honorary and therefore, the expenditure is very small. There is one thing that I ought to mention and that is this.—There are two sections in our Union, class A and class B, the former representiug moderate drinkers and the latter total abstainers. Speaking personally I do not believe in modera- tion, as moderation sometimes,or rather very often, leads a person to ruination. When a person joins the moderation class he is expected to transfer himself from section A to section B as soon as possible after he is enrolled as a member. The majority of our members are not in favour of moderation, and this is borne out by the fact that 79 out of 80 are total abstainers, The Council think it desirable to allow those who indulge in an occasional glass to come amongst us so that we may remenstrate with them and if possible induce them to do without it altogether and very often our efforts in this direction have been fruitful. I will not occupy more of your time this evening, but in conclusion I would thank you most sincerely for your kindness in coming here and shewing your appreciation of onr endeavours to promote temperance among the railway men of Llanelly." Interesting speeches were delivered by. Mr. J. H. Rogers, Rev. Elvet Lewis and Mr. W. H. Ludford, and the following musical and literary programme was gone through:—Pianoforte solo, Mr. G. E. Hurford song, Mr. D. J. Evans; recita- tion, Miss G. Jones; song Miss R. Griffiths; pianoforte solo, Mr. G. E. Hurford song, Mr. J. Williams, pianoforte duett, Misses Crosby; song, Mr. Tom John duett, Miss Gwen Williams and Mr. J. Williams collection to defray expenses song, Mr. D. J. Evans; pianoforte duett, Misses Crosby. song, Mr. D. J. Evans.—A vote of thanks was passed to the artistes, the ladies who presided at the tea tables, and to those who responded to the appeal for offerings by the president of the branch (Mr. Winter). A vote of thanks was also passed to Mr. Rogers for presiding. The arrangements were admirably carried out by Mr. J. S. Carter.

I The Clerk said he had received H.M.I., report on the above School, which was to the effect that the School was in a satisfactory state. Handwriting was very good, The problems had been well worked. Increased attention should be given to reading and arithmetic. Practical music and geography had been well taught. The School would be exempted from examination next year. The grant for the mixed department was Elll 14s. 6d., at the rate of 20s. 6d. per head. Infants School grant £56 5s., at the rate of 15s. per head. The Clerk said these grants exceeded those of last year by nearly £ 50. The Chairman: The value of the improved tuition is inestimable. I TRIMSARAN SCHOOL. I As was decided at the previous meeting of the Board, Mr. Jones, master of the Trimsaran School appeared before them to report upon the condition of the school. After a lengthy discussion, of which the reporters were asked not to take notes, the headteacher was cautioned that he must take ) greater care of the school in future.
