NOTES AND COMMENTS. T' G^oiwiek football team have done so reir ukably well since they entered the We&t of Hazily League, winning every match they hav played, that there seems little doubt of the premitT honours in this league for u,; .sjton. Their overwhelming victory over J augharne <n Saturday at Pen Cw give* strength to the belief of their supporters that they will be abie to easily maintain their place at the top of the list till all the matches are nlayed. -H:Ii:- The lovely aurora borealis which was visible on Saturday night local Is to mind how diffe- rentlv these "signs and token in the hea-> iib" are regarded in these days to what th, were, say, in the time of our grandfathers. Wt read that befo-e the Pirate, then known by the nlLme of "The Black Prince," sailed into Fi:¡'gua:d Bay in 1779, tho heavens ran blood an I streaks of fire coursed' over the firma- wc- a s gn that wais supposed to precede some great peril. By the description these could be nothing but the "northern lights," of which we had such a lovely example on Satur- day night. But, jlasf however strange and fas- cinating such phenomenon might appear to dr y they have lost their power to give us a thrill of fear and awe as the premonition of some great <,alamity to be expected. We can safely state tha. 11 has never occurred to the "gentlemen Volunteers of Dewisland'' this week to get ready to assemble and march to Fishguard to meet anoher pirat chief and to send him an open challenge to attempt a landing of any sort li :i :!i The people who are moet apt to read some- thing in the signs of the heavens in the twent- ieth century are the weather prophets, and they it must be admitted sometimes hit the mark. The methods of thet professional weather prophet of to-day, are prosaic in the -extreme compared with the practice adopted by the ancients. A rare sight or vision does not perturb them in the least, they reach their conclusions by means of charts and the in- formation sent them from distant observator- ies, following certain emphatic laws. But after all it would be interesting to learn what are the climatic conditions necessary for the aurora borealis to appear to us in this coun- try, and what is its. probable effect upon the laws of the weather. —ll: it; I!— The rambLer finds plenty of things to en- gage his fancy now that we are almost at the fag end of the winter season, when it is a com- mon signt to see lambs gambol in the fields, .and despite the recent hard frost to find many a precocious green thing peeping out of the ground to have a first look at the eun. To sportsmen the month intervening between the end of January and the beginning of March, must be considered a rather tame one on the whole. The game shooting season has been a good one according to reports from all over the country. The past season will also be re- membered for ihe excellent spot it gave to the wild-fowler, who at Christmas time and more recently had really isuch shooting as he had a for years. There is still some li-)v time left for the shore-shooter, and the IT:ni.it-popper, but the great majority of gun- n- will have now stowed their guns a.vay fe., a yrxxl rest and bethink themselves of fish- '"ds and the luring of trout from spark- li creams. --fl :11 :11- There is generally more Teckl jr.* driving n the country and in the county towns than is noticed in larger towns and. cities, and in this raspect lishguard is no exception to the rule. Horse owners themselves know better than to force ttoeir animals, and as they learn to have consideration for the horses they drive, so do they try to avoid causing loss or damage to others, —i! il— But unfortunately there are men very often in charge of horses who have no respect for either man or beast, and these fellows often delight in injuring other people's property. Hi :li :K— These type of individuals are to be met wi'.h everywhere, and woe to the helpless person dog, or other animal on whem they succeed in ruffling down on unawares. Sooner or lal-r they come within th clutches of the law, and then it is the magistrates' duty to deal with them as they deserve THE CEIT
