Cardiff Council. I ANOTHER PERSONAL DISPUTE, I ?ounciiior Cressman an? Councillor I Whiiet At the Cardiff Town Council this morning Ouiicilloc Crossman brought forward the question a personal matter between himself and Mr hlte. ThH latter had requested him to issue an ^dreag to the electors simpiv as a representative f Labour. Mr White told him that there were .etnbers in the constituency who wero not lati$fied with his (Mr Crosflman's) work, and they I esired to oppose him. The speaker refusing to So What he was asked, Councillor White seemed have drawn an inference of his own and to ave written a letter asking him to accept his ^'iginal contention. As he was again met with refusal be pubhshed the letter in question, ■'Cfcatinir it to the reporters in the Public Works Committee. By that action he evidently showed 1 desire to tar his colleague in the representation M the same ward in the face of his constituents, Apresenting him 1\8 really acting the fraud towards the electors. Through this act be 20ouncillor Crossman) had been dragged through )he mud in the Mail in a disgraceful and "gentlemanly manner, and made to look lidiculoti8 in the town. The Trades Unionists of Cardiff would have an opportunity next week of "IRY]ng whether or not he was a wolf in sheep's NOTHING, The MATOR I regret this very much. COUNCILLOR MORGAN Don'b you think, Mr Mayor. it would be well to submit to the Council whether a discussion shall take place on this or lot ? The MATOB lb is only fair that the member gainst whom a charge is preferred should have opportunity of replying. Councillor Wmrrz said, even if the Council Allowed him to the full the opportunity of reply, Jae should decline to exercise it. On the one fcand he should act with Mr George David, "born b. should support at all tunes, in asking %bat the members should be given an opportunity of vindicating their honour as a personal matter When assailed in connection with a committee. IB4t he would not be a party to bringing forward discussions in that chamber that were purely 1)f an electoral character. He would offer 110 remarks whatever, notwithstanding the opprobrious epithets applied to him by Mr ^rosstnan, who fancied that he had been made an object of chaff by something that appeared in the Press, and for which he (Councillor White) was in 110 way responsible. Mr Crossman could take what attitude he pleased he left tho facts as they had appeared in the daily Press, aud the public of Cardiff could judge accordingly.

Merchandise Trade Marks Act. frosecution of a Rhondda /Erated Water Company. At the Ystrad Police Court, this afternoon- &fore Mr Ignatius Williams, Dr, T-tines, and Mr It H. Davies—the Liwynypia grated Water •company, Rhondda Valley, were summoned ^dec the Merchandise Trade Marks Act for IIsInK and exposing for sale bottles belonging to tarioue other proprietors, Mr A. F. Hill, Solicitor, Cardiff, instructed by several gentlemen hpresentmg the various firms, prosecuted, trhe defendants were not legally represented J) court, but Mr John Jenkins, one the shareholders of the company and landlord af the Ivor Hail, Liwynypia, appeared for them. It appeared from the evidence of Mr Eustance' ^peotot under the association, that on the 13th ÅUrusb last he noticed a nutnbsr of bottles of ara.ed water being taken from the defendants' !at" into a publIc, house at Tonyrefail, near forth. He followed one of the boxes into the fcotel, and purchased a bottle of soda-water and a ootfcle of lemonade. He subsequently called upon .he head manager of the company, and ^formed him that the company would be prese- Olited under the Merchandise Trade Marks Act. lrbe manager pleaded guilty. The Stipendiary remarked that as the company had put their own Jubels upon the bottles they had used, there was lbyidently no intention on their part to deceive the public. Mr Hill observed that when the labels were off customers of the company were •ometimes selling them or giving them away in their retail trade, and consequently the public "'ere under the impression that the particular fcotela were dealing with the firms whose names •cere on the bottles. However, it was an 811ence under the Act if the company covered the other finns' marks or names with "belr own labels. The Bunch quite concurred. 411 Hill remarked that there were six similar oe:{,g agaJns the defendants, and as they had è&en warned iwice a heavy penalty should be ltntOlOsed. The Stipendiary observed that the Penalty fut the hrst offence was Z20, Mr JellkllB, representing the defendants, remarked lst the man who had, unaware to the company, 46wi the bottles had been discharged summarily. fine of 910, including costs, was imposed.

LIBERATOR CRASH. Jabez Balfour's Trial. OTHER DIRECTORS ARRAIGNED. I To-day's Revelations. I PRESS COMMENTS A PROTEST. I [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE ECHO-"I LONDON, Alotiday.-Iti the Queen's Bench Division to-day the trial was resumed of Jabez Spencer Balfour, George Edward Brock, MÖrrell l'heobaldr and George Dibley, charged with various frauds in connection with the Liberator Group of Companies. The case against one other director, Major Wright, is not being taken at present,and therefore he is relieved from attendance at this stage. Tite fiist of the defendants to put in an appearance vtts Mr Brock, who took a seat at the solicitors' table as on Friday. Mr Dibley, warmly muffled up, for the morning was very cold, came nexi, quickly followed by Mr Theobald. The rush for seats which marked the first day's proceedings was not repeated. There were a few I' ladies in court, including one or two in the Judge's gallery. I Balfours Appearance. Jabez Balfour was escorted into court between two warders about 25 minutes past 10. He did not look qnite so well as on Friday. There was an absence of the customary smile, and when he took his seat next to the other defendants with a warder by his side he com- menced to nervously bite his nails and next tidgetted uneasily with a quill pen on the table before him. Mr John O'Connor, Balfour's leading counsel, then came into court, and turning in his seat the prisoner entered into close conversation with him. I Victims in Court, Mr Justice Btuee took his «eat at half-past 10. By this time the Attorney-General (Sir Richard Web-ter) had t'ntered the court, and Mr Wheeler (the official receiver) with his staff of assistants was already present. Amongst those in court were several gentlemen whose losses in the various •companies are known to have been considerable. Press Comments Objected to. Upon the Judge taking his seat on the b'mnh Mr J. O'Connor handed up a copy of the Star newspaper, a portion of which the Judge care- fully perused. Mr O'Connor said Ie wished to call the attention of tha Court to an article which appeared in the Star now-ptp-r on Friday evening last descriptive of the proceedings in court on that day. He did not ask his Lordship to censure the tone or manner or even the taste of the article m question, which he said was bitterly hostile to Mv Balfour. In that article the writer alluded to volumes of books and ledgers which were brought into the court as monuments of Balfourian finance," and in the same breath spoke of Mr Wheeler as "liquidator of the ruined companies." A little further on the Attorney General was referred to as not only the law officer of the Crown, but the representative of the thousands of Liberator victims scattered over the country ? Of course the word victim implied something else. He could not ask his Lordship to take notice of that, but he did wish some notice to be taken of a distinct lnisrepresentaliofi of fact in the same paper-what the Attorney-General had said in dealing with the sum of £9ûo which was paid to Mr Driver for his valuation of the estates. A correct report of what was said had ap- peared in other p ipers. Ashorfctime since hohadto bring before another Court the editor of a London paper for commenting on this case. In giving his judgment Mr Justice Wills said he never knew a case which had been no shamefully treated as the present one. In the howl of rage which had gone up against his olienfc the paper which he asked the Judge to notice took a leading part. It had been bitterly hostile to his client, and even now, when the case was before the Court, could not apparently restrain itself or keep within the bounds of decency. He asked that his Lordship would visit some censure on a paper which acted in this way, so that during the trial they might have something like fair play. The jury were not referred to in that paper in compli- mentary terms, and they were not restrained from reading the newspapers. Personally he had every confidence in the jury, but ha was not going beyond his duty in asking his Lordship to take some notice, if not of the tone and temper of the paper,at least of the misrepresentations which bad appeared. The Judge said of course it was of the greatest importance that during a trial of that kind nothing should appear in the public prints which might in any way prejudice those who were on their trial. With regard to tho article—to which the learned counsel had called attention—in the Star, there were observation3 or inferences which he thonghb ought not to have been made, and which were, no doubc, calculated to lead to the inference that the defendants on their trial, and particularly the defendant Balfour, had been guilty of theofifences with which they were charged and vverenowbeing tried.'Observations of that kind ought nob to have been made. On the whole in this country we oould generally rely on the discretion and judgment of the Press in giving only fair reportsof what occurred in Courtsof Jus- tice. He could not say that Mr O'Connor was not fully warranted in calling attention to the article in question, but he entertained little doubt that in future the editor of the paper would abstain from any comments which would in any way tend to prejudice those who were on their trial. Having expressed that opinion, he had no doubt that both that paper and other papers would take care not to indulge in any comments or observations which might in any way tend to prejudice the defendants. With regard to the remark about the misrepre- sentations of what the Attorney-General had said, he could well understand that there had been some little difficulty in representing accurately all the statements made by the Attorney-General In regard to the amount of £ 900 paid to Mr Driver, he thought he had said enough on the matter, and he was sure the jury would not be affected by anything which appeared in I the papers. They were bound by their oaths to give a verdict according to the evidence and the evidence only, but at the same time it was of the highest importance that the Press, which was in their country generally admirably conducted and with the greatest possible discretion, should abstain from any comments which might in any way seem to reflect on those who were now on their trial, Mr J. O'Connor I tliank your Lordship for that statement. First Witness To-day. Mr John Pitman was the first witness put in the box. H" was a clerk in the office of the Registrar of Joint Stock Con pwies. Ho produced the file of the Lands Company, which was incorporated in November, 1867, the original capital h.ing reached £ 1.000,000. The articled of association showed the oojecb of tho company to be tho r, uroliase of and dealing in land, the erection of buildings, and raising and lending money. The or-gin,it articles of association were superseded, by a fresh set in 1883, which provided thab the (tirectors' reixiuneritlioti was to be 50 guineas per annum and a hare of certain surplus profits. In June, 1833, the articles were amended to provide that the amount,to be distributed between lihe fhrectors in any one year should not exceed £ 5,000. He also producect the file of the House aud Land Investment Trust, which was incor- porated in June, 1875, with an original capital of £ 100,000. In 1891 it was increased lo £ 500,000. He also produced the file of T. W. H<I¡'u and CI)., Limited, incorporated on the 15th April, 1885, with a capital of £ 250,000 the fil of Georgo Newman and Co,, Limited, incorporated m January, 1876. with a capital (,f £ 50,000 f the file of the Building Securities Company, Limited, incorporated on the 25^1 November, 1885, with a capital of £ 500,000 tho file of the Rual Estates Co., Limited, incorpor- ated on April 13, 1888, with a capital of zioo, 000, The share list showed thab 12 persons held 837 shares in the company at jB5 each. He also pro- duced the file of the London and Gener 1 Bank, incorporaVd in Novemtw, 1882, with a capital I, of gloo,ooo, which by 1889 was increased to a million. The offices were at the same place as the Lands Allotment Company's offices. Priority in Cross-examination. I At the conclusion of witness's evidence-in-chief Mr Atherley Jones (for Theobald) asked the Judge to determine the question of the priotity ot counsel m cross-examining, mentioning that counsel had met in a friendly spirit to arrange the matter themselves, but failed to come to an ?reement. He submitted that the couns?) who were S8mor should have precedence in crosa- examining and addressing the jury. The Juctge rather thought that he order of the indictment should be followed. He gathered that Balfour was the principal defendant. Mr A. Jones replied that there was a larger I' number of counts against Balfour than the other defendants. He questioned whether it would be to the interest of the other defendants to have Balfour's case in the tront. The Attorney-General (speaking for the Bar nither than as pro^eciiving counsel) protested against there being any arbitrary rule as to seniority of counsel. He submitted that the order of the indictment should be followed. Mr John O'Connor (for Balfour) said iC would save the time of the Court if Mr A. Jones were allowed to cross-examine first. The Judge said he could not accede to Mr Jones's contention that seniority should prevail. Mr O'Connor represented the principal defendant, and he (his Lordship) should have ruled that he should ross-exarr.ine first, counsel failing to agree, but if Mr O'Connor was willing to waive his rights all well and good. Mr O'Connor applied that witnesses mighb leave the Courb,and the Judge said he thought he was entitled to have his application granted. In reply to Mr Woodfall (fro Dibley), the witness Pitman said thab the name of the defend- ant did not appear as a subscriber to the Lands Allotment Company nor in connection with the I first proceedings of the company. I Witnesses Out of Court. I William Brigham, chief clerk in the office of the Registrar of Friendly Societies, deposed that the Liberator was registered in 1868, and was mcorporated under the Building Societies Act in 1874. The witness also gave the dates at which the defendants were connected with the various companies of the Balfour Group. The Attorney-General, referring to Mr O'Connor's application to have all the witnesses out of court, asked that there should be excepted from the decision Mr Millen, Mr Browell, and Mr Johns, as it would be much more convenient to have them in court. Mr O'Connor said these were just the very gentlemen to whom he objected. These were clerics connected with the oiffces, who could do all that was necessary in the way of producing books, etc. He wanted the evidence of each of these witnesses individually and apart from each other, and any other arrangement would not be fair to his clint. n The Attorney-General said it would be found that it was chiefly formal evidence that would be given by these gentlemen, and he would not persist. The witnesses mentioned then left the court. The defendant Balfour here made a communica. tion to his counsel. Mr O Connor said Mr Rahn, of the Official Receiver's offiec, was still in court, and he ohjt-cfced to h:s presence. The Attorney-General said someone must be in court to produce the documents needed in the case, and he should therefore not call Mr Rahn as a witness. I Mr Wheeler Under Examination. I Mr Samuel Wheeler was the next witness. He said he was one of th* official receivers under the Companies' Winding Up Act of 1830, and in August, 1393. he became liquidator to the Balfour Group of Companies. He investigated the whole of tho books of the various companies and con- ducted the examination of the directors and officials, and the evidence he was prepared to give would ba based on his own personal investi- gation of matter. The defendant. Balfour was, he believed, originally a Parliamentary agent, and was connected with nearly all the Balfour Gr?up of C.-mp?nit? M director, managing director, vice-chairnvui, or v!ce'Pt't'idellt'l Mr Brock was c'?nec'?ed with the Liberator, the House and Land TWt, the London and G-neral Bank, Hobbs and Co., the Budding Secunties and tho Budding Jii-state Brickfields Company, as secretary, director, vice chairman, chairman, or financial secretary. Mr Brock was auditor of Huhbs and Co. Mr Theobald was connected with the Li berator, the Buiiding Securities Comprmy, and the House and Lund Trust. Mr Dibley was connected with the Liberator, the House and Land Trust, the London and General B-sjilc, Hobbs and Co., the Building Securities Company, and the Building Estate Company. The Lands Allot- ment Company paid a dividend of 5 percent, from 1873 to September, 1892, on the ordinary share-, 6 pr cellt;, o n share* from September, 1889, to 1892, and bonuses on the ordinary shares in addition. The first; issue of preference stock in the company was in ]868. The original capital was £ 500.000. In 1872 B15000 additional was publicly sub- scribed for in 1873, £21.600; in 18H. £ 13.000 in 1876, £ 16,000 in 1877, L25,000 in 1878, £ 7,000 iu <i379, £ 16,000 1,1 1880, £ 29.000; in 1881, £ 72.000 m 1882, £ 31,000 m 1883, £ 56.000 in 1884, L61,000 in IE,8,5, 437,000 in 1886, £ 49,000 and in 1887, £ 6.000. That made i i, w i) ("I e, of the ordinary capital of £ 500,OuO. In addition i fiom 1888 to 1892 k pretK?nce capital of £ 266,000 was publicly subscribed. The total in pr(,ttj' ;6'-4 692 There were w H?, Itif ad also debentures amounting to £290.000. He had made out wil ,it was drawn by the defendants in the shape of;fees, bonuses, profits, etc., from the s Allotment Company. Baifour had ?15.981; Brock had ?8 957; Tivohald ri eeived £ 4,951 and gDibley had T?3,672. Witness had also made out what they had received from all the Balfour Companies in respect to fee, &, and not as shareholders. Mr Marshall Hall (for Brock) objected on the ground that the question was all unfair one. To Live or Die iogether, The Attorney-General replied that all the companies were worksd as one concern; thpy had to live or die together. His case was that these gentlemen were receiving lalge sums of money in tiie shape of surplus profits and fees from all these companies, and the matter was most mate- rial in reference to the intent because the prose- cution alleged thab these prospectuses and reports were issued to induce the public to subscribe, and so these gentlemen were interested to a far larger extent than merely in the Lands Allotment C'nnpany's transactions. The Judge thought he could not exclude the question. Mr Marshall Hal! persisted that the defendants were now being charged with making false entries in respect to the Lands Allotment Com- pany. How could it bo evidence that they had received money from other.companies ? O'her learned counsel for defendants supported Mr Marshall Hall's objection, which, however, was disallowed. Defendants' Fees. Mr Wheeler continuing his evidence in reply to the Attorney-General, said that the amount of fees received by the four present defendants from the various companies was its follows :—P.altour, 36,551 Brock, 25,308 Theobald, £ 8,148 and J.)ibit,y, 12,103. There was also a sum ()[ L7,852 in the House and Lands Trust Company's accounts which could not be npportioned to the directors. The witness also gave the details of the various sums, to hloet the objections made by tho defendants' counsel. The L:.nd Allotment Company began business in 1872, and made various purchases, but he was not aware that any were bought by autiori. He found no references in the books or accounts which would show that any independent valuation had been made of these estates as a. matter of business. If there had been a. valuation be should have expscted to find a reference to it in the books of tha company. The estates purchased were very largely introduced to the company byMrGranville Wngnt, thesolicitor, Witness found from tne actual entries in the books the officials added interest to the purohase money of the estates from year to year. The Romford Ifl-state of 510 acres was bought in 1885 for R,102,006 from Granville Wright through the Liberator. The original sum paid to the seller of the estate was £ 3^,606. 230,000 was left on uiortg.ige, £ 3 263 was paid to Granville Wright, and £37,000 was added to the value of the estate m the books (If the company. Do you find anything to justify the profit of £ 37,000 ?—Nothing at all. Examination continued The Lands Allotment Company bought the Romford Estate for £ 19,200, but there was absolutely nothing to jusl.ity the profit of £ 30^000 placed upon it by the Lib >rator- year by year. 1 merest, was added to tho value of that estate in the books of the company, till in 1887 it stood at a book value of £ 121,000. He believed no building was going on in regard to it till 1887. The income wnieh came from that estate never came to £ 1,200 a year, so that it did not produce enough to pay interest due on the mortgage. In the great majority of the estates this system of adding interest on the value of the estates in the company's book", was pursued, and in the majority of cases the price of the original purchase was swollen by intermedmte profits paid to other persons. Ic appears to have been the habit of the directors to draw up a rough profit and loss account. He found one dated February, 1887, in the handwriting of McMillan, a ch>rk in the company, that corresponded wi I;h the accounts in the books of the company up to 1887, and showed a loss on 11 months' irk(ii,ig of £ 15,500. Th«re were differences between that balance sheet and the one issued by the company a month later. It appeared from the minute book of the company that similar rough accounts were prepared in previous years. He had found another rough balance sh«eb dated 1892, showing a loss on the year of £ 23,259. The Court here adjourned for lunch.

MEKTHYR TEACHEFVS' READING UNION. The annual meeting of the Merthyr Teachers' ¡ Reading Union, which was largely attended by members and friends, was held at Bentley's Temperance Hotel, Merthyr, on Saturday after. nOOll, JHr C, H. James, J.P., prfaidtnnr. in the absence of Mrs (J. C. James. Mr T. H. Thomas, Cardiff, delivered an exceedingly able and inter- esting address upon general reading, which was givtn in an easy conversational style, and was introspective and suggestive. Whilst advocating great care in the choice of reading matter, he found uses in the best of all classes of books, I holding that readers could derive benefit even from the recreative novel, and expressing the op niou that the present race of novelists were, taking them as a whole, much superior to the writers of fiction in the last opntury. Miss Morgan, onn of the secretaries, read the annual report. Mrs Edwards, Cotirtiand House, pre- sented a satisfactory report upon the finances. Miss Hontson, Down's, was elected president of t.ho Union in to Mrs Murton, and Mrs Edwards was elected vice-president.

FARMER'S SON CHARGED WITH FAHMEH'S SON CHAnGED \1VITH ARSON, j ARSON. John Slade, Thomas Jones (farm labourer), and Edgar Wintour (a farmer's son), all of St. Briavels, near Coloford, Dean Forest, were broaerht up on remand and charged with setting fire, on the night of the 19th insb., to two hayricks the pro- perty ot Mr W. H. Winton, of the ancient and historic Castle of St. Briavels, and manager at the Newnham on-Severn branch of the Capital and Counties Bank, doing damage to the amount of £ 20.—The Chairman said owing to Jones's youth and the fact that he was not an immediate party to the firing of the rick, or that he aided or abett,ed the others to do so, ho would be dis- charged. Slade and Wintour must go for trial ab the ensuing assizes. Wintour was liberated on bail, himself in j350 and two sureties of £ 25 each. Slade was removed in custody.

The Siiver Robbery. I -——— I ——— Sarti and the Camberweil Rooms. I IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES. I The Central News says that Sarti's connection with the room at Camberwell, from which heavy sacks and boxes were mysteriously removed a few days since, is establioed beyond all doubt by papers found in the possession of the accused. One of these was a receipt for j350 paid to Afra Carr for furniture, and the other a cancelled cheque for 50s on account of rent. Sarti had been dealingjargely on the Stock Exchange.

Battle of the Wards. COUNCLLLOR JKNKINS ON DARKEST CARDIFF.* Un the delivery of Mr Grant's lecture on tho above subject to a crowded audience, on Saturday evening, at the Grangetown Hall, Mr Samuel Mildon, who presided, said that Mr Grant had turned his bull's eye upon a very daik spot, and he hoped would keep it there until other people had seen the circumstances in like manner. He felt sure that when the evil was seen in all its hideonsness and the conscience of Cardiff was roused, it would not be long before this question was dealt with, He had no hesitation in saying—and he was nob saying it without experience, for he had sat three years on the Board of Guardians—thab 80 per cent. of the pauperism was due to drink. Councillor John Jenkins, in proposing a vote of thanks to the lecturer, said that the gratitude of all right. thinking people was due to Mr Grant for his courageous denouncement of vice and crime, and he could corroborate all that the lecturer ha.d said that evening. The evils which existed could not be exaggerated, and he appealed strongly to the parents of children present to send men on the Council who would purify the town and so make it possible for the children to gcutv up pure and manly, The lecturer, in acknowledging thanks, said they were tired of appealing to the people who had the power to stop these evils, but wouldn't; and now they had turned to the citizens, the voters, the Council-makers" of Cardiff; and he earnestly aalced them, whatever their party or whatever their creed, to return men who have the moral and sanitary welfare of the town at heart. If the man put forth by their own party would. not go in for reforms, let them support the opposite candidate TEMPERANCE WORKERS' RESOLU- TION. At the ordinary Blue Ribbon Meeting held in Wood-street Chapel, on Saturday evening, Mr George Shephord presided, and there was a large attendance. The Rev. Charles Ayliffe, of New- port, delivered a very stirring address, full of good advice to. workers and private members. During the meeting a resolution relating to the fortli. coming municipal election was unanimously passed calling the attention of members of Cliristian Churches and of the various sections of the temperance party in Cirdiff to the municipal contests now being fought, in which the friends of the liquor traffic n.nd the opponents of Sunday closing especially # were endeavouring to gain supremacy in the Town Council, and strongly urgmg noon all friends of the oause of temperance and purity to rally round those candidates in the various wards who were prepared to oppose any interference with the bein-ficent advantages of the Sunday Closing Act;, as we, !I;Ls to support all efforts made to reduce the tern potions to intemperance, and urging all to work to prevent the return Oil Friday next of any candidate who is either (hrectly or indirectly interested in the Liquor Tr.ifEc.

LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. Theatre Royal (Cardiff). I There will be produced this week at the Theatre I Ruy:d by Mr F. G. Latham's Company the now well-known play, The Second Mrs Tanqueray. The success with which this piece met on the occasion ot its last visit to Cardiff will certainly be accorded it duroig the present wefk. The Mt' '1 -liquel,ay is Second Mrs Tmqueray is a powerfully written work upon the production of which the nnthor, Mr Pinf-ro, has bffo desf-tvedty congratulated. By i,, Mr Pinero has demonst rated his right to a front position among dramatists, whilst the phy itself is one of the finest productions seen for many years past. The company is a strong one, the various artistes having beeu specially selected w;th a view to giving the tnost perfect present- ment to what is, up to the present, Mr PlDero" masterpiece. n The Grand Theatre (Cardiff). I During the present week the theatre-going public ot Cardiff will have the opportunity of witnessing a series of comic operas of exception: attraction. A programme which includes in one week's entertainment such genuine favourites as The Old Guard," Falka," "Pepita," and Brother Pelican," must certainly appeal to all lovers of light music and humorous situations. The company by which the operas will be pre- sented is that of IVIl Horace Lingard, who never fails to surround himself with talented comedians and graceful and pretty ladies. Mr Lingard is, of course, a host in himself, and his dry, humorous style is intensely funny. He is accom- panied by a crowd of clever artistes, who maybe trusted to make things "hum" at the Grand during the week. Mjss Presauo is a clever comedienne and 'Miss Olive Marston is sdso a vivacious and charming youug artiste, whose graceful dancing Blust be seen. Beth ladies form a tower of strength to Mr Lingard's combination, and with the assistance of other clever members, and a pretty chorus, they will undoubtedly form a sLrong attraction. The pieces will be splendidly staged, the dre-ses being bright and attractive, and the stage accessories of the most complete character. There should bo crowded houses at the Grand throughout the woefc. The Empire (Cardiff.) There is billed for the Cardiff Empire tli 's weplz a good all-round programme, which will be sure to be an attraction. The artistes are all of well- known calibre, and altogether the programme is exceedingly well balanced. My Second Husband," by the Brown and Kelly combination, is a most laughable sketch. The Empire (Newport), Empire-goers at Newport seem to be excep- tionally fortunate, for this week they have two programmes. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday theie is a capital programme con- tribuied to by the usual number of artistes, and for the remaining days of the week there is an entirely new array of artistes with on« exception —this is Miss May Evans, who will appear the week through, and will undoubtedly make a capital turn. Tha Empire (Swansea). I Swansea is as well looked after as Newport, and they have at the Empire, like the Monmouth- shire town, a complete change of programme iu nine out of 10 it^ms. Miss hzz, Howard, of Sweethearts" fame, will do a mm each evening, but otherwise there will be a new programme on Thursday and the following I evenings. The Panopticon (Cardiff), I This wèek at the Panopticon is announced an entertainment of a high order, Gustavo Roselle's R iyal Court Choir, who will OCCUpy thtl boards for the week, have earned a deservedly high reputation. The combination of lady minstrels include 20 in number. The interest of the pro- gramme is greatly added to by Miss Emmie Rasetle, a scielltitic o¡airvoran, MMO,'

REV. CANON THOMPSON ON j FOOTBALL AND SPORT, On Sunday morning the six companies forming the Cardiff Detachment of the 3rd Volunteer Battalion, Welsh Regiment, attended Divine service at St. John's Parish Church, Cardiff. About 300 i fficers and men in all were present, including the cyclists and ambulance corp,, band. etc., M»jor Jones being in command. The ser- mon was delivered by the chaplain of the batta- lion, the Rev. Canon Thompson, D.D., who referred to the growing need of true manliness in the present age to counteract "ho,e evidences of degeneration which were to be seen in various directions. In many respects it seemed to him the generation that preceded our own was, in the matter of sport and physical recreation, truer and less open to objection. Take football, for example —why should it have been vulgarised and de. graded in the manner it had been by the im. porfention of so much roughness and brutality aud 6LIttirig ? Its former essential features of manli- j ness, straightforwardness, fairness, and good temper had been largely exchanged for strife and contention and the d-sire to win at all cost, Why should our railway, stations, and some- times our streets, be simply hideous after a football match ? Why should supporters of the game form something like a terror quiet, peaceable psople who were going aboub their ordinary business, passing from this place to that ? Why should drink be an acc-.mpanimenfc of such pastimes, as aiso betting 1 These were things which made ugly and to offend that which was noble in itself. So he found them, and, as compared with the times immediately before our own, he said there was a spirit of degeneration. Young men having within themselves the spirit of true manliness,young Christian men walitilig t(I be God-fearing, desirous above all things else to do their work and live true lives in their day and generation, could hardly serve that purpose better than when they were among their fellows, setting themselves sternly yet kindly, firmly and determinedly against every- thing that would degrade noble pastime, every- thing that would cast a rilur or a stigma upon British ruauhood or British youth. The young man who was vigorous in game, pure in life and devout towards God was the need of the day and time in which we lived. The man who could play football or take their rifle exercise on the Saturday, spend some time in the company of his fellows, entering to the lull into their enjoyments and pursuits, and ypt lcnoe, down at his bed at night and pray and on Sunday remember that it was the Lord's day and take his place in the sacred house of common assembly. that was the young man demanded by the age. Tl ie band took part in the musical portions of the servioe, and as the concluding voluntary played Mendelssohn's Wedding March.

Stalybridge Strike. I ASSAULT BY PICKETS. Injured Man's Deposittens Taken. The proprietors of the Car brook Printing Works, Stalybridge, have informed the Mayor, who offered to mediate in the recent trade dispute, that so far as they are concerned the strike is at an end, the places of the strikers having been filled by non- Unionists. The strikers, however, still picket the works. Last night two of the imported hands, while returning from Mossley, were attacked, and one was so seriously injured chat his depositions were taken.

I RAILWAY SERVANTS' PARADES. Service at St. John's, Cardiff. Ib is only fitting that when such a deserving body of men as railway servants mr.ke an effort to augment the funds of their benevolent institutions that the public should second them with hearty support. This supporb was received in a marked oegree on Sunday afternoon by the Great Weeiern Railway servants, whose local committee arrnng-id church parade, the Vicar (Canon Thomi«,:ni having with his usual kindliness promised to hoio a special service at St, John's Church. 1" railway servants mustered in lartre numbers .u ■ Great Western Station, the fact thar. i-Li necessity for extra duty alone preventing a reeok.i attendance. The men formed into a and walked to the church, headed by the Station Band (under the leadership of Mr Loman). There were in the procession, which was preceded by a detachment of mounted police and a jxisse of constables on foot, the following geutlenien The Deputy Mayor (Alderman J. W. Jacobs) (the Mayor being unavoidably absent), Councillors Gerhold, R. Husrhes, Crossman, J. iuckar. Henry White, R. Johnstone, and J. Jenkins. Mr F. C. Gooch, J.P., who succeeds Sir Morgan Morgan as president of the Local Committee of the Great Western Railway Widows' and Orphans' Benevolent Fond Mr W. Mackenzie (chief constable), Mr H. Richard (Cardiff stationnoister and chairman of the Local Committee), Mr D. T. Gregory (one of the inde- fatigable lion, sees.), Chief Inspector Ward (the station staff), Mr Adye (divisional superintendent), Mr A. H. Aldridge (district goods manager), Mr Bradshaw (assistant goods manager), Mr Hart, Mr J. P. Burt (Bute Docks Company), and otiterm, T .(,a ivere (, fi others, There were officials and representatives of the Tuff Vale, Rnymney, aud Barry Railways in the procession, s well as mên from the Bute Docks Company. There was a large muster of the station staff, which was under the manage- ment of Mr Richards. The chairman of the Local Committee has received numerous sums III aid of the funds, and he put in the collection-bag cheques from the following gentlemen :—Mr F. C. Cory, Bl; AldPf. man David Jones, El Is; Sir E, Hill, M.P., Ll Is; General Lee, £1 Is Mr R. P. Culley, £1 h; and Mr J. M. Maclean, M.P., £ 2. — The Vicar, in preachmg on true religion, made an etoqu?nt appeal oil bi-, h .,t l f M. P., i-,i I of the benevolent fund, and, "peaking of brotherliness, said if it were only to show that the working men without exception were banded together in one heart and aim to relieve their necessities, he believed ttie, day of trade disputes would be at an end. They would be so strong in the favour of their feilow-mnn, and they would win such golden opinions from the best placed in the land, they would earn for themselves such an amount of real affection and true respect that they would be a power far greater than they had any conception of to-day, and he believed the day of trade dtsputes and embitter- ment between class and class wouid speedily •ome to an end. After th" service the men returned to't.ll(\ Great Western Station, headed by the band. Although there is a sum of ovor £ 7,000 required above and beyond the men's annual contributions to keep 'he fund in a working order, it by no liiPiMix follows that the men do not hel p them- selves. Oae instance is enongu to show that they do. The Cardiff Station staff have formed a hand, in which all join without distinction. It includes members of the staff from the deputy station master (Mr Osborne) down to the office boy, and they are invaluable as a means of raising money for the funds. A word of praise is certainly due I toithem or their unstinted labours. Sunday Demonstration at Ebhw Vale, The Lobw Vale branch of the Amalgamated Society of Rulway SM-vants organised a demon- stration on Sunday in aid of the Orphan Fund in connection with their society. The members congregated on the Market-square, and were joined by sections of the Colliers' Association and the Steel and Ironworkers' Association, together with the ministers of the town and several of the leading tradesmen. The procession was led by the J5.L bw ;ile Town Band, under the leadership of Bandmaster Geo. Tern pieman, after which was carried the beautiful banner of the society (No. 1 Liverpool Branch), followed by the members of thcA.S.RS. from Ebbw Vale, Brynmawr, Blaina, Nantyglo, Aberbillery, Crumliu, Abeibeeg, iNewbridge, &c,, and tho section representative of the colliers find Inn and Steel Workers' Association. i At tht- Central Public H>.II a service was con- ducted. The spacious building was crowded, fully 2500 being pteseut. The Rev. EV:l BBynon cundllcted the serv ice, and a powerful sermon was preached by tiie Rev. Thomas Richards (Libanus, Ebbw Vale). As a result of the appeal made by Mr Richards 216 was col- lected in the hali.

SPORTING ITENIS, I R?d Heart is being prepared for the Liverpool I Cup. Blackburn has not known defeat since he was sold by Lord Kitesniere. Bride of the Sea 13 the first foal of Seabreeze, and cost Mr Jersey l,650gs. Seabref ze has a yearling colt by Trayles, and is DOW in the Men t more Stud, having iippn pur- chafed for 3,600gs by Lord itosebwy in 1593. Cloister aud The Jew are doing excellent work with a view to their Liverpool engagements. Merrywise has incurred a 51b penalty for the Liverpool Cop by his suocess in the Windsor October Handicap. The stories to the effect that Persimmon had become a roarer are now said to be without foundation. Mr E. Weever, the well-known trainer of Bourton-on-the-HilI, is so extremely III that complete recovery is out of the question. Sir Excess and R-y del Cirrare, two American thoroughbreds, which Mr R. Croker intends to race 111 England next year, have commenced their passage acr ss the AUa." tic. The Cross-country Championship of Victoria, distance 10 miles, which took place at Caulfield, resulted in the v ctory of Tom Blake, with C. E. Herbert second, and L. Ballantyne third. John Watts has, it is rumoured, finally decided to retire from race riding, and now that Mxt. Dawson has decided to retire he will at an eariy date tke over the t,ramillg of Lord Rosebery's horses as a private trainer. At Newmarket on the Cambridgeshire day one bookmaker took upwards of £3,000 in ready money, all of which was for Tokiu Ii. Thp White Star steamer Bovic, which has sailed from New York, carries seventeen yeartilig-, two year olds, and three year olds, the property of Mr Pierre Lordiard, to be trained and raced in j England in Mr Loriilard's colours next year. According to a Malton correspondent, Bediight is dead and very unlikely to race again this season. The colt had been picked out as possessing a capital chance for the Liverpool Cup. On the Wood Green track on Saturday the two miles amateur tricycle record was beaten by W. H. Knight (E-«sex Wheelers), who covered the j distance in 5min. 2 2-5sec, beating the previous best uy 3>ec. j In the autumn competition of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers on Saturday the R'ght H in. A. J. B;\ifmir, L. M. Bslfour- Melville (amateur champion), and J. E Lwidlay were amongst the competitors. The player last i named won the gold meda I wi tb a soore of 80. Has the Liverpool hiindicapp^r seen the result of the Cesarewitch? The question is a^ked be- cause Rockdove, receiving 211b, beat Burd ot Avon at Newmarket somewhat easdy. Iu the Liverpool Cup, however, the mare is in receipt of 2*1 b. Regret won his race at Newmarket in the style [ of a real good horse. A plain colt to lojk at, there is ne»erlheles no doubt that he can go. His action is perfect, and, in contrast with iSf, Frusquin, he came down the hill like a cricket i ball. Not once did he falter in his stride, and he is distinctly the horse to haVe on one's side for next year's Derby. I

Tragic Incident at Cardiff; MAN FALLS DEAD IN THE STREET. oiiorwy after nourt to-day a sad incident came under the notic3 of the C.^riifr police at. Cathays.

Assistance was at; once forthcoming, and the poor fellow was carried into the station. Dr. Morris, who arrived soon after, pronounced life extinct, death apparently ensuing from the failure of the htiai t. Deceased, who was brakesman on the the Taff Vale Rulway, was highly esteemed among his co-vvorktrs.
