FOOTBALL.I
FOOTBALL. The Holiday Match s. I As usual the holiday matches, both at Mil- I ford and Pembroke Dock, attracted large crowds, and some good football was seen at each town. Two South Wales League teams, I Ebbw Vale and Cardiff City, visited the county, and each played a League- match at Milford and a friendly at Pembroke Dock. In each instance the home teams had the best of matters. Milford beat Cardiff 3-8 on Christ, mas Day, and on Boxing Day tLy accounted for Ebbw Vale by 3-1, and thus they have now four valuable League points. Ebbw Vale were at Pembroke Dock on Christmas Day, and put up a good fight, finally losing by 2-1. On Boxing Day the Pembroke Dock Athletic Club had a stronger team out, Parrott's inclusion making a lot of difference to the forward line. The play of the Cardiff men was hardly up to expectations, and they were beaten by 5-2. The game was not a good one, and the high wind interfered with the play considerably. On Boxing Day the Scots Abroad met the Dockyard Apprentices on Barrack Hill in a League match. The Scots had a very weak team out, but managed to make a draw, the score at the close being one all. Neyland Rugby Club had a visit from Kid- welly, and a large holiday crowd witnessed a drawn game. MILFOKD UNITED v. EBEW VALE. At Milford, on Boxing Day, in cold weather. Teams Ebbw Vale-Goal, Bainston, backs, Lloyd and Fryer; half-backs, A. Bowker, Auston, and Hamilton; forwards, Tagg, Whit- combe, Wright, Brown, and Bailey. Milford United—Goal, Frise; backs, Mason and Smith; half-backs, Martin, Hoggins, and Sanderson; forwards, Davies, Bioekwell, John, Walters, and Thomas. Ebbw Vale were hard pressed, but Milford failed to control the ball, and the visitors after broke away. Walters and John tested Bainton with hot ones. From a corner Fryer handled, and John scored from the penalty. From a subsequent corner Bioekwell scored a second just on half-time. With the wind behind the Valians were soon prominent, Tagg putting in some fine work. Frise saved cleverly, but was ultimately beaten from a penalty. The wind spoiled good play. Hoggins gave to David, who darted off at a big pace and scored for the home team, just after Frise saved on the ground. Final score: Milford United, three goals; Ebbw Vale, one. REMARKS. The game was not a good one, but Ebbw Vale surprised the spectators as a greatly improved eleven. Milford should have scored oftener in the first half, but failed to utilise their chances. It was any odds on the visitors on turning round, for their hard kicking was a source of trouble to the home defenders, who were, however, in splendid form. Lloyd and Bainton played finely for the Vale all through. PEMBROKE DOCK v. EBBW VALE. On Christmas Day a largg number of specta- tors assembled on the Bush Street Ground to witness the above game. The ground was fairly hard, and a good game was witnessed. The teams lined up as follows:—P.D.A.C.—P. McGuines, ogal; N. Berry and W. Davies, backs; A. Jenkins, J. Hounslow, and Mattocks, halves; H. Petty, S. Thomas, S. Fielder, C. Silcox, and L. Silcox, forwards. Ebbw Vale- Beaton, goal; Lloyd and Fryer, backs; Hamil- ton, Boker and-Austin, halves; Tagg, Whit- combe, Wright, Brown, and Bailey, forwards. The homsters won the toss, and choose to play up the hill. From the start the Docks pressed, but were rather unfortunate in front of goal. Now the visitors set to work, and were soon bombarding the homesters' goal, but Berry and Davies kicked away grandly. From a long kick by Berry C. Silcox secured, and made a fine individual run up the field. When he got in close quarters he put in a beautiful shot, which Beaton saved with great difficulty. Lloyd, for the Valians, played nicely, and put up a strong defence againsf the homsters. From a free kick the homesters pressed, and L. Silcox passed to C. Silcox, who had hard lines in not scoring, the ball just going over the cross-bar From the re-start the visitors' left wing got going,, and Brown put in a nice low shot, which McGuiness easily cleared. Now the Valians were aggresive, but Mattocks kept them at bay for a time, after which Wright, the visitor's centre-forward, put in a cross-shot which missed its mark by a few inches. The homesters were soon going again and were pres- sing very keenly. Beaton, the visitor's custod- ian, was called upon time after time. The homesters' right wing were combining nicely, Ivor Thomas passing to Petty, and the latter passing the ball back to the former, who was successful in registering the first goal with a low hard drive. The Valians now broke away, but Berry proved to be very safe, stopping his opponents every time. With a long drive Hounslow had hard lines in not scoring for the homesters. The Docks were soon bombard- ing their opponents' goal again, but although they put in shot after shot, they were unsuc- cessful in scoring. The game was very fast, and the leather quickly went from one end of Ithe field to the other, but no further score was added up to the interval. At half time the scores were: Docks, 1; Ebbw Vale, 0. The teams now changed ends, and the Valians had the wind'in their favour. From the re- start the Docks rallied around their opponents' goal and C. Silcox put in a drive which Beaton only just managed to clear. The visitors were llOW aggressive, and some exciting play was witnessed in the homesters' goal, Tagg putting in a low shot which McGuiness cleared styl- ishly. The "Docks" got going once more, and Ivor Thomas dropped in a beauty, which Beaton punched out into the centre of the field. Here Hounslow secured and sent in a high shot which found the corner of the net, amid applause from the spectators. The Docks were now two up, and undoubtedly the visi- tors thought it about time to set to work. They rallied and for a considerable time were in the homesters' territory, but their shooting was wide of the mark. The game was very fast, and the Valians showed that they were not dons up. Their forward line, headed by Wright, came dashing up the field, and the latter passed to Austin., who, with a low shot, scored from close range. The game continued to be well-fought and the visitors played up vigorously during the last few minutes. At times they were very dangerous, but they failed to get through again, and when the whistle blew the scores were as followsP.D.A.C.,2; j Ebbw Vale, 1. P.D.A C. v. CARDIFF CITY. This match was played on Boxing-day on the Bush-street Grounds, when a fair number of people witnessed a very fast game. The re- feree was Mr. E. Thomas, and the teams lined up as follows :— P.D.A.C.—McGuiness, goal; N. Berry and W. Davies. backs; A. Jenkins, Hounslow, and M. Mattocks, halves; S. Fielder, I. Thomas, Par- rott, C. Silcox, and L. Silcox, forwards. Cardiff City.—E. Fearbv, goal; J. Plumber and J. Knight, backs; A. Beat, J. Southern, and N. Wilson, halves: b. Milford, A. Boswell, W.Vlones, D. Xash, and T. Mutford, forwards. The homesters won the toss and chose to play with the wind in their favour. From the start the Docks were aggressive, and in the early stages of the game they put in some stray shots. The left wing of the visitors was seen combining very nicely and Nash put in a atingeT which McGuiness saved cleverly. The I homesters now pressed hard, and C. Silcox put in a hard drive which Fearby cleared clevedy.. The Docks continued to press, and from a pass from his brother C. Silcox scored amid ap- plause from the crowd. From the -re-start the visitors attacked strongly, but were very un- fortunate in front of goal. The Docks centre- forward then got going, and sent the ball out to the right. Thomas centred nicely, and C. Silcox again scored a clever goal. The Decks were now having things nearly all their own way, and after a few minutes had elapsed Parrott scored number three with a low shot which beat the visitors' custodian completely. The visitors now attacked strongly, but Mat- tocks stopped their forward line time after time in clever style. The whistle then blew for half-time, the score being:—P.D.A.C., 3; Cardiff, 0. From the re-start the visitors pressed, hut Davies and Jenkins kept them at bay. The Docks now broke away and Parrott passed to C. Silcox who, with a low shot, registered number four. The visitors pressed and from a long kick from Mattocks, C. Silcox secured number five. The Docks were now five up, and the visitors played up vigorously. Their centre-forward passed to P. Nash, who scored with a beautiful shot. A few minutes later the same player scored again for the visitors. The homesters were now at the other end of the field, but their shooting was very erratic., No further score was added by either side, and the whistle blew at time, leaving the, homesters victorious by 5 goals to 2. The Letterston Football Team played a match against the Visitors and Outsiders of Letterston on Christmas Day and won by one to 0, T. Rich- ards scoring the only goal. The following day ihj same team played Fishguard Seconds in Fishguard and won by two to 0, Hart scoring from a penalty lick, and Tom Evans heading the other from one of Hart's beautiful centres. T. Richards, C. Thomas, W. G. Lloyd, and A. Ferguson also played well for Letterston. The return match will be played at Letterston on January 2nd.
» * CHRISTMASTIDE TRAGEDIES.
» CHRISTMASTIDE TRAGEDIES. I Shocking Affair at Halifax. I —— WOMAN BUTCHERED. What appears to be a brutal murder is re- ported from Halifax, where at 20, Great Albion Street, a married woman named Hannah Maria Whiteley, was on Christmas morning found stabbed to death. There were several ghastly wounds in the chest, neck, and head, and the circumstances pointed to a butchers' knife as the instrument of the crime. The woman lived with a man named Ernest Hutchinson, aged 25, a butcher fairly well- known locally, as he had been formerly in business on his own behalf. On Thursday night the neighbours heard quarrelling, and on Christmas morning Hutchinson appeared at the bedroom window and shouted, Maria is dead." Blood was seen issuing from under the fronV door, which was locked, and the neigh- bours broke the window and forced an en- trance. Inside, behind the door, they found Mrs. Whiteley lying dead, the cause of death being only too apparent. Hutchinson was sitt- ing on the bedroom stairs, his throat cut, and a blood-stained razor in his hand. A very pathetic feature of the iragecly was that in the room beside the dead woman was Mrs. Whiteley's five-year-old daughter, terribly dazed by the horror of the scene. Mrs. Whiteley was 29, and her husband is said to be in Barrow-in-Furness. Hutchinson was removed to hospital, a 1 J is expected to recover. OLD MAS'S FATAL EXPOSURE. Intense cold prevailed over the North Wales Coast on Friday and Saturday. A Bangor post- man, named Parry, on his rounds found an old man lying on the mountain side, to whose assistanceh e at once went. The old man was alive when the postman reached him, but died immediately. The deceased was an old rail- way signalman, of Upper Bangor, naved Lovi- bond, who left home on Friday night, and was reported to the police at midnight by his son as having been lost. Lovibond was 82 years of age, and was well known as an outside porter at Bangor Railway Station. WOMEN IN FLAMES. A Christmas tragedy is reported from Liver- pool. Elisabeth Burney, a middle-aged woman, left the workhouse to spend Christmas Day with Jane Bailey, widow, living in Severs Street. On Saturday a policeman saw smoke issuing from the house, and entering, found Bailey in the corner of the kitchen with her clothes on fire. Burney was huddled in another corner, also with her clothes in flames. Both women are so terribly burned that they are not e: pected to recover. FATHER AND SON KILLED. By a colliery accident at North Motherwell Colliery, Motherwell, on Saturday, Andrew Anderson and Alexander Anderson, father and Son, were killed, and a second son, Andrew Anderson, junr., had both legs broken, and was removed to Glasgow Royal Infirmary. The men were opening up a new place in the pit when a huge stone weighing three tons fell upon them. OLD LADY BURNT TO DEATH. While cooking the Christmas dinner Hannah Adcroft, a widow, of Milnrow, Lanes., was burnt to death owing to her apron catching fire. DROWEND IN 9 INCHES OF WATER. Mrs. Hunt, wife of a Somerset farmer, of Stoke St. Mary, was found dead in nine inches of water, at Taunton, on Saturday. She suffered from a nervous breakdown. Mr. Kajry Johnson, a Crawley tradesman, aged 50. dropped dead after visiting his mother on Friday evening. He was apparently in the ivst of health, and had never been attended by a doctor.
WEST WALES CROMLECHS. !
WEST WALES CROMLECHS. (By GWR DINAS.) The land of Dyfed has long been esteemed rich in antiquities as well as in the beauty and the charm of its scenery. It has been immortalised in song by the bards of old, while learned men of to-uay find here a limit- less field of research where they can exercise those faculties with which they are peculiarly gifted to L8 top of their bent. But of all the relics and the evidences of a vastly different ins that have descended to us from the dim and far-away ages none can probably appeal more directly to our fancy and have a closer relation the early history cf the Cymry than the cromlechs. Some of the most notable cromlechs in Wales are those of Pentre Ivan, Burton, Llecliy- tribedd, Trellyfan, Carreg Sampson, and Fish- gr.ard. Most of these, as will be noticed, are situated in Pembrokeshire, and truly to this part of Dyfed may well be decreed the honour of being called the "premier county" of Wales in this respect at least. THE HALE OF ROMANCE that surrounds a cromlech and the sacred associations clinging to it might easily affect the susceptible mind in such a way as to urge a bard to song or give a creative impulse to his imagination. Stones and rocks have al- ways played an important part in the pro- gress of mankind, and who knows how far these landmarks that guided the Celtic race through its venturesome childhood days may not have influenced, or even been chiefly re- sponsible for, the most prized portions of its after literature. Eminent men of letters and great scholars have been interested for years in the dis- coveries of monoliths that are occasionally being made, and many a missing link in the by ogams. Since Dr. Groves was able to make story of the past has already been supplied the stones speak by hitting upon a method of reading the inscriptions upon them Principal Sir John Rhys has compiled a careful list of the stones in Wales, with the words and characters he has succeeded in deciphering upon them. Principal Rhys has been no less ardently and devoutedly engaged in trying to locate all .the far more ancient and Drudical monuments of West Wales, and has stimulated others to make continuous efforts to learn more about them. This has at least had the effect of preserving these precious relics for future generations, though further care given in this matter would not be wasted. Nowhere are there so many cromlechs to be found as in that lonely and treeless region extending from the Precelley Hills northward to the sea and westwards to St. David's, Head. The most famous of these is that of Pentre Ivan, three miles south-east of Newport, Pem. This one is remarkable for its height and the number and position of the STATELY UPRIGHT STONES. It has been railed in for years now by the Association for the Protection of Ancient Monu- ments, but formerly the farmer who held the land would often drive his cart and horses under it, and in fact it looks from the dis- tance like some great and solitary portal. It stands on a hill, but not actually on the ridge, and has to be reached through gorse and bracken, over rough and stony ground, and past a strong spring a few hundred yards be- low it, which flows out of the hard rock. The scenery is typically Welsh, although almost incomparable for its grandeur. Below and away in the distance, overlooking the fertile and Nevern Valley, is the beautiful bay of Newport, the picturesqile little, town itself ap- pearing as if it wanted to hide under the shadow of the castle above. To the west the rugged top of Garningli (Garn.engyllu) looms bold and sinister looking through the hazy at- mosphere, while to the south and east Presselew mountain rises high in the back- ground. The dolmen has undoubtedly suffered dese. cration at the hands of man at some time, as a gate-post close by bears eloquent testimony, for this gate-post, it is easy to see, had origi- nally belonged to the Cromlech. Traces of the earthworks have also practically vanished as the essential penalty of trying to briftg the land around into cultivation. The remains of the raths,' or forts, such as may commonly be seen in Ireland, which encircles the more im- portant cromlechs are difficult to find in Wales owing to the Philistine treatment they have been subjected to by generation after generation of tillers of the soil. The terms "rath," "lis," and "dun" are indiscriminately applied to a class of earthen banks, known also as forts. In all probability the TERMS RATH, LIS, AND DUN referred properly to different portions of the same structure-rathe to the enclosing ram- part, lis to the place enclosed, and dun to the raised mound within the rath. It is of secondary consideration even to learn, as it is vain to speculate, whether you are gazing upon a tomb of the great dead, standing before an altar of the sun, or by the council table of kings. Either, or all three, theories may be correct, and you may em- brace one or more according to your faith and temperament. This dolmen is a finely shaped stone, and measures 18ft. by 9ft. Northwards from Pentre Ivan is a smaller cromlech situated on the farm of Tredryssan, above Nevern. The horizontal stone in this one also is the great magnitude, probably weighing something over 20 tons. I Close to the town of Newport, on the slope, facing the estuary of the River Nevern, is a third cromlech, which in conjunction with the other two form a triangle. This cromlech at first sight looks like a gigantic mushroom. The 10 to 15 ton stone, which is its approxi- mate weight, seems on closer examination to be dangerously heavy and insecure on its legs, especially as it does not now rest evenly on its supports. It is only after reflecting how many centuries have passed since it was erected in that position that one ceases to question its stability, and it would bo diffi- cult to estimate the quantity of this stonb that has been chipped off from the edges by visitors to take away as momentoes. A direct line from here inland over the top of Presselew mountain would bring us to i another cromlech in the vicinity of the VILLAGE OF MAEXCLOCHOG, this being known as Meini Gwyr, and that is not by any means the least of the antiquarian sights in this locality, which can boast numer- ous and valued possessions of this nature. An this time we have been passing through en- chanted country and recalling tne hunting of Twrch Trwyth, and the story of Kiihwch, Arthur's cousin, in the Mabinogicn. Our quest would conveniently lead us again from here over the rough moorland in the direction of Fishguard and afterwards to the bold head- land of Pencaer, where Kilhwch was born in a swine's lair at Trefculhwch. It would be impossible to state the EXACT NUMBER OF CROMLECHS or remains of cromlechs that may be encoun- tered over the whole of this district, and as far as St. David's. Principal Sir John Rhys gave it as his opinion that there had been quite half a dozen on the stretch of hether covered upland known as the Cw, overlooking Fishguard Bay, a large proportion of which, however, had suffered destruction or removal. Some were situated on the site of the Great Western Railway Company's village of nearly 2,000 inhabitants, which has sprung up here within the last two or three years, and near the growing town of Goodwick. Behind one of these rows of newlv-built houses is a huge

earth-fast cromlech still to be seen, and in the centre of a field by Penrhiw farm, not a quarter of a mile from there, is another well preserved specimen. This one in all essential features very closely resembles the famous Giant's Ring cromlech, Drunibo, near Belfast. Some half a mile further on, and close to Llanwnda, is still another strikingly interesting cromlech, distinguished for the breadth and the evenness of the stone surface. It measures 13ft. by 9ft., and is earth-fast, while in the hollow underneath the stone grows a sturdy thorn bush; and it is curious to remark that in the rock in the background discloses the place where the stone was obtained. Passing by the "garns," which are characteristic of this neighbourhood and going by the ancient camps and giving but a passing glance at many a heap of stones under which some for- gotten heroes may be buried, the course now leads westwards and to + he south. The sough of the sea can be heard in the distance, to be immediately afterwards hailed over the top of the perpendicularly steep cliffs, or we come suddenly into sight of a beautiful cove where the sea is calm and glossy. At Garnllys, near St. Nicholas, is the smallest dolmen in all this district, and it is worthy of attention because of it3 dimensions as com- pared with the others. It looks like a. minia- ture. The last one to come urder present '1 notice shall be that of Long House, Trevine, but th:3 is of such an important character that it is worthy of a whole cliafter for itself, and for that reason we shall refrain from speaking ofi t at any length on this occasion.— "South Wales Daily News."
!Pillar-Box Robberies.
Pillar-Box Robberies. WELL-DRESSED THIEVES ESCAPE IN THE DARK. A daring robbery from pillar-boxes in, East Dulwich on Thursday night, and th3 escape from custody of the thieves, throws lisrht on the problem of the non-arrival of expected Christmas letters and cheques. Two well- dressed men were seen standing close to a pillar box as though posting letters. The policeman was walking past on the other side, when he saw that the strangers were robbing the mail. One held a long string attached to a weight with birdlime on it, and with this they were fishing for Christmas cheques and postal orders. They had already secured a large num- ber o, letters when the policeman ran across and surprised them. He seized both men, who made a desperate struggle, and the constable loudly blew his whistle for help. In the affray letters were fiung on the pathway. Both man finally es- caped from the policeman who grappled with them. A full description has been issued of the two thieves—both well-dressed men be- tween 30 and 40-who scaped in the darkness.
——mmmmmi—— COINERS' DEN RAIDED.
——mmmmmi—— COINERS' DEN RAIDED. GREAT SEIZURE OF BOGUS MONEY IN LONDON. A bogus mint in Essex-road, Islington, has been raided by the police, who have made an important seizure of counterfeit coin intended for Christmas shoppers. Thousands of pounds worth of bad money has lately been put in circulation, and detec- tives have been long trying to discover the source. A band of detectives paid a surprise- visit to a house in Essex-road, and in one of the rooms they made a valuable discovery. They found that they were in an up-to-date "coiner's den," with every appliance for the manufacture of counterfeit money. In the room there were electrical batteries and cells, with seven other instruments used by coiners. Twenty moulds for making silver coins of var- ious values from 6d. upwards were found, and a large quantity of finished money. The coun- terfeit coins were of excellent workmanship, and could not be easily ulstinguished from the genuine coin. In piles in the "mint" were the following coins:-200 florins, 700 shillings, 300 half-crowns, 50 sixpences. The mint was clearly run by two or three expert coiners, but the premises were empty when the police arrived. valuable clue was, however, obtained, and a man is now detained on suspicion.
. ,POINTS ABOUT PENSIONS.
POINTS ABOUT PENSIONS. "THE RIGHT TO LOAF." REFUSAL TO WORK AFTER 70. A Gloucestershire pension applicant who was earning sufficient money to disqualify him, has claimed on the ground that he had given notice to his employer and would need the pension at its expiration. The committee disalowed the claim, and ad- vised him to claim again when his notice has expired. Another Gloucestershire case raised what a member of the committee called the "right to loaf after seventy." A claimant had formerly earned 12s. a week, but as this Had been re- duced to 10s. he left his employer. Evidence showed that he could earn 8s. by tending cattle. He was well over70., and there was no charge that he had been lazy previously. The pension was granted, Mr. Hyett, chairman of the County Education Committee remarking: "I think this is the interpretation and intention of the section. He must not be a loafer until he is 70. After 70 he can loaf as much as he likes. Two old people in the Peterborough district -an ex-soldier and his wife-have been dis- qualified for old age pensions because last May the wife went to the relieving officer for a 2d. loaf and Id worth of tea. 2 HARDSHIPS TO RECIPIENTS OF OUT- RELIEF. At the Reigate Board of Guardians, Mrs. Taylor moved that the board should hold an inquiry into the matter of outdoor relief. She proposes to increase the amount of outdoor relief by persons over 70 years of age so as to correspond to the amount they would receive if by reason of the out-relief they had not been debarred from receiving an old age pension. Persons in receipt of ^out-door relief, she point- ed out, were respectable, or it would not be granted to them. It was therefore a hardship that the aged poor should be debarred from receiving the pension of 5s. If the relief in the case of each person over 70 were raised to 5s. a week the increased cost would be £ 1,128, or a rate of just over one-half penny in the Z. The Rev. C. Lucas, who seconded, said the board would have to do something to put right the discrepancy, or sooner or later it would result in a great injustice. The Rev. E. M. Gibson thought the Govern- ment should provide the remedy, and not leave it to boards of guardians. The resolution was carried.
