WELSH WIZARD I WILDE BEATS LYNCH GE POINTS THE BOUT DESCRIBED I The long looked forward to boxing con- test between Jimmy Wilde and Joe Lynch (America) was brought off at the National Sporting Club on Monday night. Wilde, who was giving away a lot of weight, won on points over Ji) rounds, Wilde clearly had the better of the open fighting, but he leceived a good deal of punishment from his heavier opponent. Rounds 11 and 12 were lively- enough, both men setting to their work with great spirit, but Wilde's blows seemed to- be lacking in strength. Lynch's constant habit of holding brought aim repeated admonitions from the re- teree, but he did much of the hitting. The last three rounds were fiercely con- tested, Lynclr's strength going for much. In the end Wilde was declared the winner. No doubt Lynch's habit of hold- ing had inuch to do with the verdict. THE PRINCE'S CONGRATULATIONS. I The Prince of Wales stepped into the ring whgi2 it was over, and in a few well- choaen words he congratulated Wilde and expressed his admiration of the fight Lynch had put up. He had an overwhelm- ing reception. WILDE'S GREATEST WIN. I tsp-scial to the" Leader.") I 1 chink it can be sa.i.d of this particular I contest, with absolute truth, that this was Wilde's gremtewt triumph. For let it be admitted frankly that the Terror of Tyioretown is not so fast a boxer as he need to be, and that Anno Domini is Le- ginning to weigh upon him. And this time he was up against every possible handioop-a,ge, weight, everything but ex- perience and art were against him. Lynch is no can," and there 18 grave reason to doubt whether any other boxer on earth could haveitiven away such a properties of weight to so skilful an opponent. Just think of it—Lynch, a real champion, turned the &cale at Sst. 4|llxs., while Wilde must h"-e been lGlbs. inside that weight. It was like a middle-weight meeting a light-heavj'-weight opponent. SHEÊR JUDGMENT. I For the first time in his history Wilde tron, not by his speed or his terrific hit- ting power, but by sheer judgment, and in fairnees to Lynch we ought to add in at peihaps another five rounds might have uiiuie all the difference. But then, over the 20-rounds route Yv ilde would no Ô,fjilht l^ave adopted different tactics. When the men stood up at the gong for the firb't round, the disparity in weight bad haixUy dawned upon tla niind-wilen one had a new impression—Lynch was going., to rob Wilde ot the benefit of that point-collecting left piaton-rod by a cuun- tering stand. For tlve only speck of the' American's head open to his lei t w-as a email patch at the side of the neck. Not tfcat the American covered up, it was a new poise, of which we shrill soon get plenty of imitators. The tactic reduced the value of Wilde's wonderful leading power by au per cent., and it had another advantage, ipr it was easy from the position taken up to dodge the right 1e-dd 01 the Welshman at the first sign oi danger. But Wilde has a way of getting there, and he cork-screw ed his Ie-it through the defence now aftd then, expecting to find his opponent open to the quick right that so often follows. Lynch' tactics were sound; all that was neces- stored i^ae a slight turn oJ; the. Wt. it stored up energy, and made Wilde use up suiue of his, A TERRIFIC LEFT. I Up to middle-distance toe honours were with the K«d Dragon, but here the Dragon wearied. Wilde's admirers wondered as the littlg man becajue reoeiver-generai, but it did not last long, and when Lynch'.? attack, was at its hottest, the little man put down his anvu and mot a terrific leii and then a; right by a liiovement so small as to be liardiy discernible, making Lynch miss by inches. K-ound 13 saw Jimmv weary once more, and owe began to recall that bitter bout with Tancy Lee. Lynch was at this moment wading ill with both hands, and Jimmy was making no response to his advances. Then. like a flash, we had the old Wilde. Lett, left, kfi! The piston-rod was at work, at the eye, at the nose, to the j,lW. Yes. Wilde's round, despite it all. Round 15 was a great rally, and all the latent spirit « Wilde was pleased:, If honours had been easy at the end of the fourteenth, hi" work in this session would have been enough to give him victory, and it was a sore, bewildered Lynch who went to In* corner after that terrific battery. Wiide deserved victory, if a man eTer dia. BEYNON AND STEPHENS ,L I I In a 28-round contest at noxton ljaws I on Monday afternoon, Bill Beynon, of Taibaeh, deputed for Danny Morgan, of Tirphil, who was unable to box owing to illness. Beynon, who met Alf Wye, of lioston, was beaten on points. Wye had a big advantage in reach and weight, but was unable to land a telling p-unch in the early stages.

PATENT COVERING. J Judge Finds for DefendantsI After Inspecting Boiler. At Swansea County Court on Tuesday, j before his ITc-ijour Judge JRowI:>nd HoT.- j lands, the case was resumed in which Messrs. Perkins and Co., engineers, Wind-tirtet, were sued bytheSUll Fuel I Co.. Swaneoa, for work done and materials supplied in covering some steam boilers and pipes with a nai?f covering. The amount elamed was 935 18s. Mr. Trevor Hunter (intructed by Mr. Evn 'Rowlands) waa for plaintiff, and Mr. vn-I liers Meager (instructed by Mr. David Clark) for I NOT SUITABLE. I Mr. Ledbury, the man who had applied I the cement, at fir.st refused to cavulge its contents. saying lie did not want to give away trade sOOrk; but on being informed that Mr. Perkins had told the court, wit- ness denied that there was asbe. ios in it, said that there was clay, liax,. cocoanut Rbra and vegetable fibre. Pressed to • state what rentable ifbre," he said it was manure in the proportion of 50 per cent. As the compound was oomposod en- tirely of vegetable fibre, there was nothing to prevent it from burning under I great heat. j Answering the Judget, witness said that j in his opinion the material was not suit- able, but he added that it was impossible Lto get good material. JUDGE INSPECTS BOILER. I Hie Honour said he was satisfied the material wa.s nOlt fitted for the job at all. ) He had seen the boiler. On one side j the stuff had fallen off for six feet at j least on the weather side, and it was only a question of a short time for the other side. He had come to the conclu- sion that there was something in the com- position which urtfitted it for the work it was intended, to do. In those circum- stances it followed that the plaintiff could not succeed.. Judgment was given for defeudant with costs. s i

OFFICIALS TO WAIT. Salaries Question. I DEFERRED FOR TWELVE MONTHS. After a long discussion, the Swansea Council oil Monday deferred the question off the valaries of Corporation officials for 12 months. When the zala-ries matter arose, it was moved by Mr. P. J. Parker, and seconded in several quarters, that the Press re- main. The Town Clerk: Does that mean that everybody remains, and that this is an open meeting, .Iir. ALayor? The Mayon: The oihcials may stay if they wi&h. The Town Clerk hurriedly withdrew. A MOTION TO DEFER. I At the outlet Alderman Owen ex- I pressed the opinion that the time wms inopportune tor generai increases of salary of the chief oiiiciaiip ailuougii they iiugin agree that there were certain ctttet wueie exceptions migiit be made, lie therefore moved thai mey deter the ap- plications for twelve months. Mr. Dan Jones seconacti, saying he knew that at present the burdens on the ratepayers were iiiieiy to be very heavy, and he believed the othciais the nisei ves would not be averse to tne matter being deferred tor a lew months at lieast, tor he was sure they would lose nothing by the delay. The Mayor said he had receited a letter from Mr. Tunbridge, the estate agent, withdrawing his application. REVISED SALARIES. t Atd.

Jones's -amendment the salaries should be as ioilovrs: Deputy en- KiIreer..t400; town planning assistant, -350; outdoor assistant, £ .j<!ii, the salary of the foreman mason not to be fixed at present. In regard to the men on the staff at the electricity works, the minutes of the committee were to be approved. Col. A. Sinclair seconded. '.Mr. David Williams roee to epenk against the amendment, though, he said, he did not entirely agree with- the pro- position. It had been said that the entire cost would be £ 550, but he ielt that the proposals w-ould oost nothing at all, be- cause if the officiate had any .self-respect at all they were going to refuse the pro- posed increases. The proposal of the amendment was to give the officials gen- erally a 10 per cent. increase. Mr. Wil- liams went on to aitalyefa the figures and compare them. Was the amendment a serious proposal f Mr. Jones had said he spoke for a considerable number. The suggestion was that they had met and had arranged proposals to be adopted at four o'clock. (Laughter). OESERVING-AND OTHERWISE. I The speaker went on to aay that his view was that tJ1i?-Y should <|e>al with every case on its merits. (Hear, hear.) Theie w-e:-e officials of the Council who were en- titled to increases for excellent work. There were some of them who ought t-, oJo with a little reduction; gome ot them with a very substantial reduction if they were to consider the administration of their departments. They had doubled the work of one of these officials; they would give him ar. extra £60 per annum. Another who had half-done his work for three or four years was to have about the same oonsideraion. He would have been pleased if they deferred the whelo for twelve months, for the total income from the adiead are--to for the next five years would he teas th-an Æ4û,OOO, and 0 they were going to carry out, the arrange- ments there would be no re-assessment o* the added areas unless there was a general I re-aseeesment. INCREASED DUTIES. J The -040.000 was already mortgaged in j tarrring out necessary repairs in the &,c- quired area, but- the officials. who had not -tmunenem to deal with them asked for the increases in order to meet the requiio- ments of increased duties. While bt-, would like to support increases in some liases, he supported the resolution, al- though he could see the danger of losing tome of them. Rome would leave Swan- j sea to the regret of the Council; some would leave the town for Swansea's good. Surely the amounts could not Iw regarded as on account of added responsibility. TRIBUTE TO MR. HEATH. I Mr Merrells could not support either the resolution to defer or the amendment, and he could not understand the charige of mind of the members M the committees who made the originai recommendations. He thought they lacked courage. To pass such an amendment avoided the expres- sion of opinions as to individual officers. The cases of some officials he could not honestly support, but there were othere that he would beick up." One of them was Mr. Heath, the borough surveyor, who, it was Tecommended. should be in- creased to JEI.000, and who, he believed, was as capable and willing to fill the posi- tion as any other man they could find in the country. To offer him æ60 per annum was tantamount to saying he wrs not worth £600. There were greater responsibilities de- volving on him in regard to the Swansea that was to be than upon any other man. If they were prepared to admit that all they had said on the Create* Swansea, wfcs clap-trap, all right, and if they were going to use Mr. Heath as a glorifie<l foreman the salary was sufficient; but if they were going to remodel and eventually rebuild Swansea on the linfts they were hoping and he was expecting, the position was worth much more. I TOWN BUILDINGS. I He did not want to make comparison* but ii he compared Swansea with other towns, they must make fair comparisons. We had a town to b%ild. which others had not, and if they were going to build along proper }ines they must have good men. They were, he felt, making a mis- take as far as the surveyor was concerned. Mr. Heath folt 'his prestige demanded a higher -alar.v. He urged t^e Conncil deal wHh every case on its merits. Mr. A. LoveU, while not emuiKj?red of the ammdment, felt that they had to choose the lesser of two evils. The i< nd- linent w? !??t TO 1 > tion, bat it was the only inet "e. 4gs they sll knew, the town was verj"resttfe with regard to the financial posifl&n, a"l'i'd they had to he careful how tlfey p They had of necessity to w- regard to the vicw of the public, becaw after all the public paid, and tbe people who paid had a right to call the ttaim. He agreed that it was not an entirely satisfactory solution they offered, but He thought he could claim that under tJte circumstances it was the best possible.^ ATTITUDE OF THE LEADER." t- Aid. Ivor Gwynne said he was not arreld of public opinion as long as he acted cOjg- Gcientiousiy. He was afraid public op. ion in this case was a certain section till the press, which had been preachjlllt against salary increases. Many of tlk leading articles in the Leader" weft .constantly down on the Council, and it would be well if the press, 'had a widef vision. Some of the fficia18 deserv(it better than what was now proposed, if he were one of the officials he would cW- tainJy refuse the paltry .£60 a r posed. They were to-day not paying tfie education departingt more than in 1913, They should deal with each officiaj^on hie merits. If they were going to defer thki matter, let them defer it for 12 month* and not ofrr-r thi.e insult to the officials N- [We refer to Aid".

Jordan dealt with the position of the added areas, and deprecated the allu- sions to the burden 6f the added area £ The borough would this year receive a"4 £ 1.000 or more from the balance of Iian- samlefs rates. Mr. Delve spoke similarly, and said tfcesfe allnsions did not tend to good feeling be- tween the old borough and the added arft. He trusted that they had 1IIDi heard the Ia.«t of this matter. Ald. Wm. Owen said that at t5ie majority had decided what the increases were going to be, it wfts incumbent japoit somebody to move another resolution^ an he was not sorry that, be had done It was wrong that these a.pplicatiöl)\ should cosne in circles. He raised no olta. jeetion to dealing with them individually. The ink was hardly dry on the borongit boundary order before it was What are we to get out of it?
