MR. A. L. SOUTHEY. I 0- Great Poet's Grandson's Return to Swansea. An interesting figure known to an earlier generation in Swansea was again in its streets on Saturday afternoon after a long absence from the town—Mr. A. L. Southey. A grandson of the great poet and, ii. says, his only living lineal descendant, j Mr. Southey has been for the last two years on active service in India. He is I- t years of age, but when the call to arms sounded in 1914 he at once "joined up," first serving on the East Coast, and then going with a detachment of the Norfolto to India. A NOVEL OF GOWER. 1 While there, he has been devoting him- self—more for his own enjoyment than anything else, he says—to the writing or a Welsh novel. It covers in manuscript so many foolscap folios, on both sides- that its publication in that form is prob- lematical, but it would be interesting to see at what view of Gower life—for that is the theme of the novel—Mr. Southey has arrived during his Indian experi- I ences. I We give below one of Mr. Soutliey's ) poeni6:- I SEA DUSK. I Storm-crested billows crash and roar, I Circles of creaming foam, Wider across the wiutt-swept shore I The brown-sailed boats steer home. This darkening dusklight everywhere, Deep shadows drifting far, And cool above the sunse's glare, The c¡\ti¡. weiviji#*$tar. A cloud of white-wingod guile, wind- driven. Floats slowly over seas, Day flinging off her i)Rin, stands shriven, ¡ In these calm silences. 11., l. a.

MARTIN SHIELD. j The defeat of Cwmbwrla bv Municipal I Secondary at the Victoria Park on Satur- day morning last somewhat simplified matters in the Schoolboy Championship A the season. The game had a vOfy de- eded effect on the League table, and as matters stand Municipal Secondary and Hafod are keen contestants for the trophy. To make certain of the championship Hafod must win every match remaining, and their opponents are Brynhyfryd. Cwmbwrla. Danygraig, and Dyfatty. Of these the former is most, likely to spring a surprise. Municipal Secondary have yet to oppose Sketty, Waunwen, Baptist Well, Bryn- hyfryd, and Dyfatty, but on recent form the School" should successfully nego- tiate all these obstacles. Thus the dis- plays of Hafod will be followed with keen interest, as if they win their remain- ing fixtures they will top table and hold the Martin Shield.
