DIN AS POWIS v. WHITCHURCH. Played at Whitchurch on Saturday last in glorious bummer weather. The homesters were strongly represented, but the visitors were minus J. B. Smithson (who, bye the bye, used to wield the willow" for Whitchurch some seasons back. and was one of the chief mainstays of the club) and Alexander Black, and played two substitutes. Whitchurch winning the toss, elected to bat first on a fiery wicket, which made the fast deliveries rise awkwardly on occasions. The homesters started none too promising, Townsend having his stumps disturbed with Peach's last ball of the first over. When Gibbs joined Schiele at the fall of the third wicket for 10 runs, a short stand was made, and the score had reached 26 before the partnership ended, Schiele being bowled by a good ball from Peach, after scoring a useful 13. The bowlers at this juncture, backed up by good fielding, maintained a temporary mastery over the batsmen, and two wickets fell in quick succession, Cotton being dismissed by a good catch at point. Bowden and Partridge forced matters when asso- ciated, and by resolute hitting carried the total to 51. before the former was taken behind the wickets. Bowden scored 16, after several lives," by clean hitting. Apart from Partridge, the remain- ing batsmen gave little trouble, and the innings closed for 80 runs. Dinas Powis started well, the first few batsmen playing in a confident manner, which augurs much for the future. D. Wakeford and J. Evans (two promising young players) ren- dered yeoman service to the visitors, the former compiling 15 runs in a manner worthy of older batsmen. R. G. Russell also reached double figures (10). The visitors total reached 58 runs, leaving Whitchurch winners by 22 runs. The fielding of Dinas Powis on the whole showed signs of much improvement, and by strict attention to this department better exhibitions may be expected. Scores and analysis WHITCHURCH. T.

ATHLETIC CHATTER. The result of the match, St. Mary's Juniors v. Barry VillA. 2nds, played at Barry last Saturday week, was a draw, not a win for the Villa, as we stated in our last issue. After several weeks' absence, J. Vickery, captain of the Barry Y,M.C.A. C.C., will play against Dinas Powis 2nds next Saturday. Mr A. J, Abercrombie, of Barry Island, is pro- moting a walking contest open to grocers and assistants in South Wales for a silver cup, the walk to be done in heats or parties, such as Merthyr to Pontypridd party, Cardiff to Barry Island, Aberdare to Pontypridd, Newport to Cardiff. Pontypridd to Cardiff, and any other parties who can arrange a twelve mile's walk. First second and third in each batch to walk in the final from Cardiff to Barry Island and back en September 2. The heats will be walked on Wednesdays and Thursdays during June, July, and August. Any parties wishing to join should communicate with Mr Abercrombie. H. Ayre made a good stand at the wickets for Barry Island C.C. last Saturday against Barry Y.M.C.A., making 22 runs not out. Clive- road School C.C. would like to arrange fixtures with junior teams. Apply to the secretary, G. McLennan, 20, Red brink-Crescent, Barry Island. The loyal members of the Dinas Powis Cricket Club have been much encouraged by the promising form displayed by several young cricketers in the village in the last couple of matches. Although the club has not yet notched a win, signs of improvement were evident in the all-round display of the team at Whitchurch last Saturday. What the club is most in need of is two or three seasoned bastmen to give more stability to the batting. Percy Vivian has strengthened the club in every department. Perc is undoubtedly one of the best all-round men in the team. He bats in a steady and confident manner, bowls a puzzling ball which requires some watching, and is a capital fielder in any position. Above all he is a prime favourite with his fellow-players. D. Wakeford, one of the most promising young players in the club, won general praise at Whitchurch last Saturday by his superb batting. Young Wakeford possesses a few good strokes, which include a half-cut past cover point, a taking forward stroke, and is particularly strong on the leg-side. He was batting 40 minutes for 15 runs against Whitchurch, and will be a decided acquisition to the villagers. Another young player of much promise is J. Evans, who is fast developing into a first wicket man. His batting is extremely cautious, and plays well over the ball. He supplies a much needed want by wearing the edge off the bowling, which was lacking since the secession of Waters. W J. B. Smithson. who has played Rugger football for Cardiff and Newport, and also wielded the willow for several prominent clubs, including Whitchurch, and Cardiff 2nds, has promised to assist the club regularly after some practice. Smithson is a stylish and forcing bat, a capital field, and throws down a good ball. Vazie Simons, lately of the Pontypridd Cricket Club, through whose untiring efforts the club in that district owes much of its flourishing condition, has intimated his intention of donning the pads for Dinas Powis. The attack of the Dinas Powis club is still well- maintained. and the biggest need is efficient fielding. Much has been written lately about fielding that young and old cricketers ought to I tage the advice to heart. More matches are won by good fielding than anything, and there is nothing I more discouraging to a bowler than to see catches dropped and runs given away through indifferent fielding. Mr Arthur Manning, in his notes in the Evening JExpress last Saturday, wrote :—Tonypandy on Tuesday held a meeting, and provided plenty of variety and was well patronised by local talent. In the flat events a young runner, in the person of J. O. Beddoe, of Newland-street, Barry Docks, did very well by winning the sprint and running second in the quarter. Beddoe is a comparative novice as yet, but he has caught my eye on more than one occasion by his game running. Properly looked after, he should improve a deal on his present form. Beddoe during the Whitsun holidays won no less than 422 in prizes at four meetings.

REVIEW OF PUBLICATIONS. OASSELL'S ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE BOER WAR. Part 17 of Cassell's Illustrated History of the Boer War is to hand. The cover contains a strik- ing portrait of General Sir John French, K.C.B. The number before us carries the war from the preparations for Lord Roberts' great advance to the entry into Kroonstadt and the relief of Mafe- king, and it is a singular coincident that this memorable stage should have reached us just at the time when, only a few rays ago, General Baden Powell was at our doors receiving the I freedom of Cardiff. The views embraced in the number include Cavalry advancing over rough ground a welcome drink from a native the Artillery threatened with a Boer charge the Highlanders capture some prisoners Lord Roberts and his staff native grooms crouching over a camp fire sabres were flashing in the moonlight the guards' march into Kroonstad an underground officer at Mafeking setting fire to the inflammable huts in the advance trenches &c. The volume will be completed in 30 parts, the inflammable huts in the advance trenches &c. The volume will be completed in 30 parts, the price of each Dumber being 6d. The pub- lishers of this splendid historical work are Messrs Cassell and Company, Limited, London, Paris. New York, and Melbourne.
