LLANELLY CRICKET. .a..
LLANELLY CRICKET. .a.. ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK FOR THE COMING SEASON. THE ENGAGEMENT OF YOSLER. There was an encouraging attendance at the annual meeting of the Llanelly Cricket Club, which was held at the Thomas Arms, on Wednesday nig-ght, when Mr. H. E. Truh- shaw presided. Before proceeding with the business, the Chairman referred to the enforced absence of Mr. J. Santa Ebans, who had discharged the duties of secretary and treasurer. He did not think anybody who took an active interest in the affairs of the club last year could fail to realist the value of Mr. Evans' services. The members of the club were very much indebted to him, and wished him a speedy recovery. The assistant-secretary (Mr. E. P. Rees) in presenting the annual report, stated that of the seventeen matches played by Llan- elly last season, seven were won, five lost, and live drawn, and of the five lost three were against Swansea, the other two being lost to Britonferry and Britonferry Steel- works. The Llanelly team's most notable icluevement was against Cardiff. Page headed the batting averages, having played 17 matches, in which his highest score was 94, while his total was 537, an average of 33.5 runs. Percy Rees, who came second, played 17 matches, and his highest ecore was 63, while his total was 353, an average of 20.7. The three best bowling averages were as follow :— 0. M. R. W. A E. Gee 154 26 148 36 15.2 pa,ge .m. 187 35 543 34 15.9 n C. Warner. 43.1 3 197 12 16.4 The Llanelly Seconds played 19 matches, f which 11 were won, 3 lost, and 3 drawn. The balance-sheet showed that the season Has started with a credit balance of 15s. 6d., ind it closed with a deficit of LI06 6s. 7d. Souong the receipts were IIS 6s. 6d., from Mr. T. Hay Samuel, the proceeds of a bene- fit nignt at the Picturedrome, JE73 8s. from gate receipts, and JE176 3s. 9d. from mem- bership subscriptions. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report and statement of accounts, said that on the first blush it was a rather disappointing balance-sheet, because they were faced with a deficit on the year's working of something over £ 100. He had hoped that towards this deficit they would have received a substantial cheque from tin local Amateur Operatic Society, but, unfortunately, hard as the society worked, and in spite of the excellent performances they gave, the cricket club could not ex- pect very much from them. The Operatic Society this year did not get the support from the public that they should, and he thought that if the society decided to con- tinue their support to the cricket club, the members of the club would do more than they had done in the past by help- ing to dispose of the tickets. (Ap- plause.) Even though the club would not receive much from the Operatic Society this year, they owed them a deep debt of gratitude for what they had re- ceived in the past. (Applause.) When members considered what was done last year in the way of improving the ground, pavilion, etc., he did-not think the deficit should give cause for much anxiety. They had to bear in mind that the subscrip- tions had increased to JE176, which con- stituted a reoord for the club. (Applause.) As they were aware, the club had engaged as professional a man who had an excellent name in the cricket world in the person of Vogler, and he (the chairman) felt sure that if the weather was good increased gate re- ceipts and subscriptions could in conse- quence be confidently anticipated. Mr. Santa Evans wished him to apologise for his absence, and to thank the members for the hearty -support they had given him. Mr. B. Percy Reee seconded the motion, which was carried. On the motion of the chairman, Mr. C. W. Man-sel Lewie was re-elected president, and Mr. T. Hay Samuel was added to the list of r iee-pre-si dent a. The following officials were also elected unanimouslyCaptain of First XI., Mr. Harold E. Trubahaw (re-elected); vice-cap- tain of First XI., Mr. E. Gee; captain of Second XI., Mr. T. L.

LAID A TSAP. I ALLEGATIONS iN SHOP HOURS CASES AT LLANELLY. At the Llanelly Police Court on Wed- nesday, Percy toharff, 76, btation-road, was summoned by Mr. W. A. Davies, shops' inspector, for an offence against the Shop Hours Act. Defendant pleaded guilty. Mr. \V. A. Davies said that at 8.65 p.m. he saw a man leave the defen- dant's shop. Witness spoke to the de- fendant, who had served the man with handkerchiefs. Defendant: Didn't you send the man in order to trap me? Witness: I only followed what was done before my appointment. Cases have been heard in this court in which boys were sent into the shops to pur- chase goods. Mr. Thomas Jones: Did you pay the man anything? Witness: No, he was a shop assis- tant. The Bench reserved their decision for a fortnight. Wm. Williams, grocer, was summoned for a similar ofience. Mr. E. Kammerer appeared for the defence. Mr. W. A. Davies gave evidence, in which he stated that a boy was sent into the shop, and was allowed to keep the change, which was a halfpenny. Mr. Kammerer said his client pleaded guilty, but there were mitigating cir- cumstances, one of which was that the prosecution had laid a trap for him. The plea made by the boy was that there was nothing in the house, and the defendant took pity upon him. The Clerk (to Mr. Davies) You had better get your friend here next time in order to give rebutting evidence as to the instructions given to the boys. Henry Jones, 18, Station-road, also pleaded guilty to an offence against the Shop Hours Act, stating that it was committed in consequence of a trick. The cases were adjourned for a fort- night.

.JUDGE'S APPEAL.
 .JUDGE'S APPEAL. r PRESS ASKED TO MAKE REPORT AS DECENT AS POSSIBLE. ECHO OF WILDE CASE. In the King's Bench Division to-day, Mr. Justice Darling and a specif jury had before them a remarkable libel action. Plaintiff was Lord Alfred Douglas, third son of the eighth Marquis of Queensbury,. the defendants being Arthur Ransome, author, and "The Times book club, publishers and prin- ters of a book called" Oscar Wilde: A Critical Study." Defendants justified the words which plaintiff alleged charged hint w.ith be- ing instrumental in bringÜ. about Oscar Wilde's disgrace. After counsel's opening, the plaintiff was examined in support of his claim for damages, and when cross-examined by Mr. Campbell on behalf of the de- lendan t Ransome, a scene occurred. Plaintiff indignantly repudiated cer- tain suggestions addressed to him as to his habits of life. the judge appealed to the Press to make the grosser parts of the case as decent as possible. A full report would do incalculable harm to the public morals. Plaintiff's Outbursts. I There were passionate outbursts on the part of plaintilf during the con- tinued cross-exan.mat.on. He ad- mitted that certain documents put in, including letters of hit; to the late Mr. Labouchere, by whom he was de- nounced, contained disgraceful and abominable sentiments. These he now repudiated, but at the time they were written he considered that Wilde should not have been punished. He had now changed his mind. Several times the judge asked plain- tiff to restrain himself. ( Proceeding.)

THE MARCONI ATTACK.__I
THE MARCONI ATTACK. I MR. CODFREY ISAACS AND THE SrNUioAit. Mr. Godfrey Isaacs, giving further evidence before the Marconi Commit- tee. had his attention called by Mr. Faber to his statement that he had heard of a syndicate who were arrang- ing for an attack upon Ministers, and he was asked whether at the time he looked upon it as a political attack. He replied that lie would not like to say what his opinion at the time was. He did not know who the mem- bers of the syndicate were at the time he heard of it, but he knew the names of the present syndicate, which were different from the former ones. He had nothing to say against the gentle- men forming the preset syndicate. One of them was a member of Parliament, and he was not surprised to find the name of Mr Hey bourn, jobber, amongst them. He had not heard a suggestion that any Minister was financially in- terested. Mr. Norton Griffiths. I His attention being called to the oommunicatio from Mr. Norton Griffiths, M.P., in which he denied every accusation made against him witness said that he had not made any charge against Mr. Norton Griffiths. He had merely repeated his name as one about which there had been rumours associating him with the syn- dicate formed to attack the Ministry. It was only when pressed that he gave the name. He maintained that the issue to the public of Marconi shares, so far as he and his company were con- cerned, had been perfectly correct, proper and regular. He had not at any time manipulated the market so as to force up the price of the shares. The demand was big and the supply small, and so the supply was increased to relieve the squeeze. Mr. Falconer told witness, in respect to one transaction that it was a credit to him.

FURIOUS LIONS. -rfTa
FURIOUS LIONS. rfTa EXCITING INCIDENT IN AN ABERAVON STREET. While Sanger's Circus was making the usual midday parade at Aberavon to-day, a sensational incident occurred in Water-street. The wheel of one of the vans, contain- ing some lions, gave way, with the re- sult that the van struck the ground with great violence. The accident frightened the beasts into a fury, and they dashed about the cage with great ferocity. Fortunately the bars were sufficiently strong tc withstand the strain, and no damage was done. The mishap caused great excitement amongst the large crowd assembled in the neighbourhood, who rushed helter- skelter in all directions. NO FREE RIDES. Whilst Sanger's Circus was entering Aberavon yesterday a man got on a wall just as the elephants were passing and jumped on the animal's back. But bj6 stay was only brief, for Jumbo promptly unseated him-with unsatisfactory re- sults to the intruder. He fell heavily to the ground, and was so badly injured that he had to be placed in a cab and conveyed to the surgery of Dr. J. P. Roberts, and after attendance he was taken home. Sanger's Sircus were unable to obtain a field suitable for the accommodation of their huge tent at and the cars had to be taken to their next stopping-place, Aberavon, much to the disappointment of a large crowd.
