To-day's Short Story.. A FORCED MARRIAGE. I The first lady that will enter this room you will aek to be your wife," said Mrs. Anthony to a you-ng man standing before her turning his hat and squeezing it out of all shape in a fit of bewilderment bordering upon despsir. "You will obey my orders implicitly continued the old lady, "or ILY estate will go to someone else." But, my dear aunt," ventured Willie Maokin without being able to proceed, because his aunt inrbemxpted him im- patiently, saying: I have had enough of your bats, and will not listen to any more. You will do my bidding, or else you know the consequences. Come, Lizzie," she ccntrniied, turning to her daughter, a. yoking lady of about nineteen, let TIS leave Willie atone. He must have a, few minutes of quiet reflection to be pre- pared for what he will have to diD. The door had hardly closed behind the ladies when it was opened ag-ad-n, and Lizzie put her head through the opening, calling out in a voice as hilarious as any girl's voice can sound: I say, Cousin Willie, that poor tiring,' as you apostrophised her, who is selected to make you a sensible fellow, has had enough of this world's experience already to test your martial ardour, and I wonder who will be victorious." Now, cousin, be serious for a minute," said Willie. "You had better receive the aspirant to my hand, and tell her that who- ever enters here should leave all hope behind, reciting this quotation from Dante I in a tone made studiously sepulchral. Lizzie laughed loud and replied, She knows what you are, and is fully prepared to meet all your devilry." She ciosed the door, and he wildly paced the room for a few minutes in great rest- lessness. Should he sell himself for the for- tune which his aunt had promised to bestow an him under the condition of marrying any soman she would choose for him? Three years ago, when her husband died, she had persuaded him to leave his profession j and manage her cattle ranch for her, which was one of the largest in the States, pro- mising him to make him sole proprietor of it, leaving to her daughter Lizzie a large amount of movable property for a dowry, under the condition that he should marry soon and settle in the neighbourhood, where she wished to remain, because she could not know, she said, whom her daughter would marry and where she would have to go. Three years had passed away, and Willie had made no movement towards getting married. But he had led a rather wild life these years, travelling a great deal, going from place to place, as it seemed, in search of something, nobody knew what, and being so little at home that the ranch had been frequently sadly in need of a master. Mrs. Anthony grew impatient, and had spoken to Willie many times, but all to no purpose. She finally ma4de a selection of her own, and told Willie that he must marry the lady of her choice, or otherwise forfeit her fortune. She had invited the lady to be at her house at two o'clock that day and informed Willie of the fact, as told above. The agitation in which Willie found him- self when left alone at the close of the con- versation did not last lomg. He soon come to the conclusion that whoever tfhe lady might be who should next enter the room he would treat her in a manner that would thoroughly disgust and prevent her from attempting to force him to offer his hand or induce her to reject it if he should proceed to make an offer. He seated himself in an easy chair and turned his back to the door. It was just on the stroke of two when he heard a knock at the door. He made no reply. The knock- ing was repeated once, twice. No reply. Then the door opened, and, by the sound of rustling silk, he perceived that a lady had entered the room and was advancing towards him. He did not stir. Then he heard a woman's voice just behind his chair saying: Is-gret to disturb you, sir. Can I see Mrs. Anthony for a minute? He was startled. What voice was that? He had heard it before. He knew it but too well. Had he not been travelling all over the country these three years in search of the owner of the voice? He turned around suddenly. "Is it you?" cried he, almost beside him- self with delight, Miss Laura? Oh, wlhat blissful surprise this is." As he rose, Laura, in utter surprise and bashfulness, had retraced her steps towards the door. But Willie was before her immedi- ately, and, seizing her hand, said: What do you think, my beloved angel, to turn away from me? Do you imagine I would let you go again? OSh, Mr. Mackin! she ejaculaited, a. deep red rendering her beautiful face more charming. "This meeting is too surprising. I had no idea I should meet you here." But she did not withdraw her hand from his, and listened quietly to his soothing words. He led her to a settee and took a. seat by her side, saying: After three years of fruitless search what strange coincidence leads you to my side here, ir. my own home, my dear girl? And without waiting for a reply he continued: But ought I not to reproach you for the sudden, unkind manner in which you left me three years ago? They had met three years ago at a bath- ing place on the Atlantic, where Willie had gone for a change, and Laura was nursing her sick mother. They had seen each other daily, and loved, but had not come to an explanation on account of the unexpectedly sudden departure of Laura, which had taken place without a word of warning to Willie, My poor mother," Laura, exclaimed, was very low, and when I arrived home that after- noon she told me she must go away; the sojourn there made her worse, and she wanted to go further south. I pleaded for one day's delay. It was no good. She had made up her mind that her health required her immediate departure. Poor mother! She travelled to her grave. The long journey so exhausted her that aifter her arrival in Florida she never rose from her bed again. She died six weeks after our arrival." Willie spoke words of comfort to the weeping girl, and, partly from curiosity, partly from a desire to turn her thoughts upon other matters, he asked her: Where are you at present, and what brings you to this house? Laura was startled, and jumped up, saying, full of anxiety: Oh, I quite forgot. I was Bent here with a message to Mrs. Anthony. Where is she? I really must see her right away." My aunt is in her room, but will be here soon, I guess. Meanwhile, take it easy, my good girl, and tell me first the message that brought you here." "My message, yes. In the surprise of find- ing you here I forgot all about it. Mrs. Ira sends me to tell Mrs. Anthony that she had been unavoidably detained, and could not be here till about four o'clock. But that clook is nearly four now. Please, Mr. Mackin, do not detain me; let me see Mrs. Anthony right away, or it will be too late, and I shall lose my situation. I am afraid," she said, imploringly and full of amxiety. Mrs. Ira?" repeated Willie in a peculiar tone of inquisitiveness. "The rich widow thaft has already buried two husbands, and might have been my mother? You are sent by her? In what relation do you stand to her?" "I am companion to Mirs. Ira- I have been with her for three weeks now." You a dependent upon theufc frivolous woman, that man hunter," he cried indig- nantly. "That has lasted long enough, Laura. You shall stay there no longer. Listen to me," he added, as she was about to remonstrate; "there is no doubt fbere is something provMen?a.l in this meeting here to?day. They wa.ut to get me married in this house, and have provided a wife for me whom I do not know. My aunt has .eohenned the thing. Sihe would not tell me •her name, but said she would send the lady she had selected for me to see me in this room, where I was to wait few her. She said the finst lady that should enter this room I was to as-k to be my wife. Now, Laura, you are t:le first who has entered, so I am bound to ask you. Will you be my wife?" Laura was speechless. She stocd trembling and uncertain, feeling keenly that the way she was acting was by no means very dig- nified. Willie, seeing her confusion, embraced her fervently, and whispered: Tell me, my beloved Laura, did you forget me, or do you ltlll love me as much as I do you ? I did not forget you, Willi-a, and I never will." She stfffered him to kiss her passionately. Then he said: You did not answer my question. Will you be my wife, my beloved little wife? She did not answer, but she permitted him to press her to his heart and imprint a kiss on her rosy lips as fervent and long as if he would never separate again from them. Suddenly they were startled by the noise of a door opening. It was Mrs. Anthony, who came to ascertain the success of her scheme. She uttered ¡3. cry of surprise, and sank in the nearest arm- chair utterly discomfited. Willie advanced towards her with a radiant face and said with an unmistakable seriousness: My dear auntie, how shall I thank you? You are the most amiable aunt that ever was. First you frighten me out of all my senses, and then you surprise and make me the haaftfteet of mortals by introducing to Ine. j "for my wife, the prettiest, the most lovable kreature I ever saw in my life," with which f words he introduced Laura to Mrs. Anthony I' by a movement of his hand. I—I," stammered the old lady; "I intro- duced that girl to you!" No question about it," said Will'e. She was the first lady that entered the room after you had left it. I asked her to be my wife and this moment, when you had come in, she had just consented to be." "The Lord is my witness," saiid Mrs. Anthony, but was interrupted by a. footman entering and announcig Mrs. Ira, who had just arrived. "Tell her," cried Willie, in a load voice of command, "that Mrs. Anthony is not prepared to receive any more visitors to-day." No. no," cried Mrs. Anthony. But Willie motioned to the servant, who left the room. What are you doing, Willie? Do you want to ruin me? What does all this comedy mean?" No comedy, my dear aunt. In fact, I fail to understand you myself now. Did I not obey your orders to the letter? "Obeyed my orders? Why, Willie, I do not know who that lady is. I never saw her in my life." Then Willie proceeded to tell his aunt how he had met Laura, before, and that they had been lovers all these years, although they had been separated and had not seen each other for years. He told her of his journey and the clues he had followed in so many directions, and how they had all proved false, and he described his disappointme-ats in colours so vivid as to touch the heart of his aunt, who grew even more interested in Laura, and looked at the pretty girl more and more attentively. When he had concluded his recital he called Laara, who approached unhesitatingly. But the good old aunt arose to meet her, and embraced her warmly. "Be it so," said she, good-humouredly. Besides, how could I do otherwise? You have obeyed my orders, and thus you are justified."
I For Women FolkI
I For Women Folk I HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES Green food is almost indispensable to canary birds, but if lettuce is scarce aj good substitute may be had by plantiag a little of their favourite seed in small flower pots and allowing it to grow. The birds like it even better if they are allowed to pick the little green leaves themselves. Here is a useful bit of information for mothers with several energetic youngster's. The soles of boots and shoes may be made waterproof, and their lasting qualities trebled, if they receive an application of copal varnish, one or two coats, in wbicih one ounce of fine, clean rond to the haif^pint has been stirred.

Cut in shapes, and bake in a quick oven. I To Clean Mahogany Furniture I The best cleanser for mahogany is made by miringhailf a pint of spirits of turpentine and half a pint of vinegar. Rub this on the wood, keeping with the grain, then polish with a soft flannel oioth. For a weekly polish nothing can exceed rubbing with cold drawn linseed oil, then polishing with a clean, dry cloth, first removing all oil from the furniture. Mahogany regularly treated in this way becomes so highly polished that it will not be injured even by heat, fcr the linseed oil hardens when exposed to the air, so that when it has filled all the pores of the wood the latter becomes hard and smooth, with a surface like glass. Simnel Cake Cream together half a pound each of butter and caster sugar, add four eggs, and beat well for ten minutes. Then stir in six ounces each of stoned chopped raisins and currants, two ounces of shredded candied peel and ground almonds, with a teaspconful of mixed spice, and ten ounces of flour. Put half into a tin lined with buttered paper, then a layer of almond icing half an inch in thickness upon the remainder of the cake. Bake in a moderate oven nearly two hours. When cold cover with more almond icing, smoothing it over with a knife; decorate to taste. For the ahnond icing mix together half a pound of ground almonds with ten ounces of caster sugar. Flavour with essence of bitter almonds, and make into a paste with yolk of egg.

I A Congressman on a visit to New York called on an old friend in town, an alder- man. While they were chatting, an Italian couple came in and asked in broken English if the alderman would unite them in mar- riage. The alderman performed the cere- mony, and, after accepting the modest fee, politely handed the bride an umbrella. The Congressman observed the proceedings gravely, and, after the couple went out, asked:—"Do you always do that, Charles?" Do what? Marry them? Oh, yes." No, I mean give the bride a present." A present! Why, wasn't that her um- brella? gasped the alderman. No. it was mine," replied the Congress- ¡I man, sadly.

ARMY SUMMONED. I
ARMY SUMMONED. I A PONTYPOOL INCIDENT. Obstruction by Salvationists. I At Pontypool Police-court on Saturday the adjourned summonses whick had been issued against twenty-two members of the Ponty- pool Salvation Army Band for obstructing the highway on August 25, and for refusing to move when requested to do so, were heard. The charges were productive of a very large amount of interest and excitement amongst the general public, the court being crowded as soon as the doors were open. The defendants we::oc Geo. Evans, Edgar Dixon, F. Bullock. F. Powell, Thomas Jere- miah, Edward Evans, Charles Harris, James Walker, Wm. Ear-veil, Ernest Whittard, Geo. Styling, James Ilenson, jun., Wm. Webb, David Morgan, Charles Clarke, Alfred Nelmes, Simon White, Henry Tucker, Henry Brentley, and Thomas Mallett. Harry Tucker, another member of the band. was summoned for refusing to desist from playing a concertina on the highway when requested to do so by a constable on August 27. and James Henson, sen., was summoned for obstructing the free passage of the highway by holding a meeting on September 10. Mr. Frost (of the firm of Ranger, Bourton, and Frost, solicitors, London) repre- sented the defendants, and instructing him were Brigadier Hill (the divisional officer) and Staff-captain Russell (the Salvation Army secretary for Wales). Mr. H. S. Lyne, solici- tor, Newport, prosecuted on behalf of the police. Prior to the opening of the court the Army Band paraded the main streets of Pontypool and played a number of selections of music. After a retirment by the Bench, the Chairman sarid that no doubt an obstruction had been caused, and no person, not even the Salvation Army, had a right to obstruct the King's highway. They recognised the good work done by them, and, as the Bench did not wish to deal harshly with them, the cases would be dismissed, defendants having to pay ooste. The Chairman said that the Bench hoped the defendants would not repeat the offence, and suggested that there were several other places in the town where they could hold meetings without causing an obstruction. The other charges of obstruction were withdrawn by the police, and the summons against Harry Tucker for refusing to desist from playing a concertina was proceeded with. As some doubt existed in the minds of the Bench whether Tucker was the man who played the concertina or not, the charge was dismissed. James Henson, the officer of the local corps, was then charged with causing an obstruc- tion in Market-street on September 10, but the charge was dismissed on payment of coats.
i Dividing -Merthyr -Union.
i Dividing Merthyr Union. CLOSE. VOTING ON THE QUESTION At Saturday's meeting of the Merthyr Board of Guardians the report came up of the meeting of the committee of the full board held on Monday evening of last week to consider the application made to the President of the Local Government Board on behalf of the ratepayers of Aberdare that a local inquiry should be held into the advisability of divid- ing tne union by the separation of the parishes of Aberdare, Penderyn, and Rhigos, and the creation of these three parishes into a separate union. That meeting will ever be memorable for the turbulence of the proceedings, and it will be recollected that on that occasion the various clauses in the petition upon which the application was based were carrier by the votes of the guardians on the Aberdare side, the guardians on the Merthyr side declining to vote. The Rev. J. O'Reilly now moved that the report of the committee be adopted, saying that if Merthyr had a strong case against division, he did not see why they should be afraid of an inquiry. Mr. David Hughes seconded, and appealed for agreement in going in for an inquiry, so that the matter might be settled once for all. Mr. David Evans proposed as an amend- ment, tlhart the matter be left to the con- sideration of each parish, but this was not seconded. The Rector of Dowlais then moved a further amendment, that the board regarded the opinion of the LocaJ Government Board itself as being an expression of its feelings, such opinion being contained in the letter dated the IStlh of September, 1898, refusing an inquiry. Mr. John Lloyd seconded. The Rev. J. O'Reilly spoke strongly upon certain observations made by Mr. David Evans at the oommittee meeting as to the bulk of pauperism in Merthyr being due to the number of Irishmen thrown upon the rates, and he Point-ed out that of the Irish- men in the union the percentage of paupers was astonishingly small, those in Merthyr being less than 3 per cent., while in Aberdare the number could actually be counted on the fingers of one hand. The pauperism that did exist among Irishmen was due to the degrading and squalid conditions under which they were allowed to live, and to the neglect of the authorities in seeing that they were pfroperly housed. When he was at Dow- lais the conditions of the poor made his blood boil. Upon a division the rector's amendment was carried by nineteen votes to eighteen.

Operations on -Paupers]
Operations on Paupers] I DR. SHEEN AND THE GUARDIANS Before the Cardiff Guardians at their meet- ing on Saturday a return (as asked for) was submitted of operations at Cardiff Workhouse Hospital, the register dating from May 5, 1906, to September 22 this year. During that time there were 49 operations, all of which were performed by Dr. Timms (late resident medical officer), in one case with the assist- ance of Dr. Maclean. An urgent operation had since been performed by Dr. Edwards, Dr. Timms' recently appointed successor. A letter was also read from Dr. Sheen (medical officer), in which he said he very much regretted the discussion that took place on Saturday week on the question of opera- tive surgery. In this matter everything had been done in the interests of the patients operated upon, and everything had been done with his entire approval and consent, and after consultation in each case. Dr. Lee (Dr. Timms' predecessor) performed these operations, and Dr. Timms, on succeeding him in office, expressed the wish to do as much operative surgery as possible. To that he (Dr. Sheen) consented, with the safe- guards above referred to. He was pleased to add that Dr. Timms had done the work entirely to his satisfaction, and had given great benefit to the patients. The Chairman (the Rev. J. R. Buckley): We have already decided that this matter should be referred to the workhouse visiting com- mittee, and I take it that the register and the doctor's letter will also be laid before the committee. Mr. Leonard Page: It is satisfactory from Dr. Sheen's point of view, certainly. Mr. Ames: It shows he has every confi- dence in the assistant medical officers the board appoints The Chairman: Dr Sheen is a very old officer, and the board should treat him with every possible consideration.

BOARDS OF GUARDIANS. f CARDIFF. I THE PROPOSED REGISTER OF PAUPERS. 1 At the weekly meeting of the Cardiff Board of Guardians on Saturday, the Rev. J. R. Buckley (vice-chairman) presiding, an acknow- j ledgment was received from the Local Govern- ment Board of the board's inquiry whether the cost of assistance in preparing the pro- posed register of paupers would be met from Imperial sources. The Local Government Board did not contemplate that such expen- diture should be defrayed out of the Impe- rial funds, as there was no fund out of which such expenditure could be defrayed, --On, the motion of Mr. J. J. Ames, the j matter was deferred for a week, pending the receipt of a letter to follow the telegram now submitted from the Local Government 1 Board. ) NEWPORT. I UTILISATION OF SPRINGFIELD HOUSE. I Mr. T. Dutfield presided at the fortnightly I meeting of the Newport Board of Guardians on Saturday. There was again a, welcome reduction in the number oi tramps dealt with. For the two weeks the total was 474, as against 509 in the corresponding period of last year, a reduction of 35. The committee appointed to deal with the question of the utilisation of Springfield House and Estate, adjoining the workhouse, which is the property of the guardians (and until lately the residence of Mr. Franklyn Beynon), recommended that the house be utilised for the accommodation of tubercular cases. The workhouse visiting committee followed this up by taking steps to fit the place for the purpose. The present entrance to Spring- field is to be closed, a new entrance provided from the workhouse, and a roadway made to the existing drive.
THE AMERICA CUP. I
THE AMERICA CUP. I Sir Thomas Lipton, interviewed on Satur- day on the possibility of his challenging for the America Cup, said that the building of a I new challenger depended on the interpreta- tion placed by the New York Yacht Club on the new rule which provided for less draught, a smaller sail area, and shorter overhang. If the rule were construed as he thought it would be, he would have an equal chance with the defender of winning the cup. "I would challenge in a minute," he declared, "if the conditions were right."

I Hauliers' Grievances. I IMPORTANT QUESTIONS SETTLED AT I CARDIFF. The joint sub-committee of the South Wales Coal Conciliation Board appointed to deal with the question of hauliers' wages and conditions of labour met at Cardiff on Satur- day, when Mr. E. M. Hann presided over the owners' side, and Mr. Evan Thomas over the workmen's. There was a large number of items on the agenda, and among those decided before luruoh were the disputes at the Tredegar and Ma-claren pits, owned by the Tredegar Company, the decision of the com- mittee being in these cases that, as the rate for day hauliers, viz., 3s. 6d. per day, and dooring combined exceeded 4s. per day, the rate remain as at present, viz., 5s. 6d. per day plus dusting, and it was further decided that the rate for night hauliers be increased to 3s. 8d. In the afternoon the representatives of tihe hauliers raised the question of the wages to be paid to the riders and traffic men, and stated that the executive council of the Miners' Federation had been unable to accept the owners' proposal to deal with the riders only, leaving out the traffic men. The workmen's representatives stated that they proposed to put the matter on the agenda for the next meeting of the conouia, tion board, eo that it might have full con- sideration from both sides. The workmen's representatives raised the question of the rates to be paid to the night hauliers at Ferndale, and the matter was adjourned to allow Mr. Watts Morgan to call evidence as to the wages paid in the paet. A question which arose in connection with dooring at Messrs. Vipond's collieries in Mon- mouthshire took up comiderable time. The owners' representatives stated most deter. minedly that the new terms must commence from the 1st of August, the men not having previously accepted the new agreement. The disputes ait Gelynos and Wyndham (North's) were deferred for future considera- tion.

Sinking at 16 into the Lethargy of Anmmis. A Time Fraught with Danger. An Unhappy Girl's Tale. Bloodless, Weak and Thin, Harassed by Nervousness. She found Perfect Health, irith Good, New, Rich Blood, in OR.WILLIAMSJPINK PILLS "At the age of sixteen, when I was beginning to assist mother in the house, severe head- aches began to afflict me." And from th-at time Miss Edith A. Storey, of 54, Broadsheath- terrace, Southwich, Sunderland, advanced through the various stages of Anaemia to a state of suffering that blighted her life. To all parents whose daughters suffer from bloodlessness her statement is of great importance. With these headaches," Miss Storey con- tinued, "I grew languid and melancholy; the colour faded from my cheeks and lips, and my complexion became livid. All appe- tite failed, and I began to suffer acute pains in the chest after meals. At last I could not ta.ke sufficient food to nourish me, and I grew rapidly weaker. Even liquid diet distressed me. "My bones and limbs ached terribly; I shivered frequently from head to feet. The slightest exertion made me painfully breath- less, and in spite of all the care of a clever medica.1 man, nothing seemed able to cure my bloodless state. "Terribly weak and listless, I longed for relief. One day I took a short walk, but it proved too much, for I became faint and reeled, and my mother had to support me home again. I then took to my bed, because the elightest movement gave me iitin and caused me to collapse through exhaustion. I also grew very despondent; all life seemed to have left my body, and hope seemed useless. I was gasping for breath, painfully thin, and my face assumed such a ghastly hue that I was horrified when I saw myself in the glass. Moreover, I had a cough which ca-used me grea.t pain round my heart; it was thought my lungs and heart were seriously affected. I became nervous, then hysterical, a.nd at last the least sound would upset me. "While I was in this dreadful state a. friend called to see mother. Edith is suffering from anaemia, and Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People will cure her,' she said. Mother was so impressed by the advice that she immediately bought a box for me. Though other medicines had always given me intense pains and increased indigestion, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills quite soothed me and gave me peaceful rest. Before long I felt a decided change for the better. To the amazement of everybody, I got Dr. Williams' pink fills. up from bed and walked downstairs. Soon I could take solid food and a little exercise without being distressed. My appetite returned, and I obtained refreshing sloop. So I continued to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and the colour came baok to my oheeks; I regained my old strength steadily, and developed into a cheerful, robust girl a°-ainj Finally, thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink piHg I walked out of the house strong and healthy, and in that perfect state of health I have remained ever since. I earnestly recommend all girls developing into womanhood to take this valuable medicine, which cured me." Anaemia, if neglected, is the surest avenue to a consumptive's grave. Dr. Williams' Pink Pilla actually make new, good blood, and so afford the most valuable help to growing girls and delicate women. They have cured not only Anaamia, but Palpitations, Pains in the Back, Indigestion, Nervous Headache and Neuralgia., Early Decay, Rheumatism, Sciatica, St. Vitus' Dance, Paralysis, and Ladies' Ailments. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for. Pale People are sold by all dealers, but mifui the name Dr. Williams is on every box, for substitutes are worse than useless. If in doubt, send direct to the British DePOt, 46, Holborn-viaduct, London, E.C., 2s. 9d. a box, or six for 13s. 9d. post free. IA60

Cardiff Football Teaml
Cardiff Football Teaml PRESENTATION OF GOLD WATCHES Last Season's Wonderful Record The Park-hall, Cardiff, was on Saturday evening filled to overflowing when a smoking concert was held for the purpose of present- ing mementoes in the shape of gold watches to the Cardiff players of last season who contributed to the wonderful record of the chib. The occasion was one of the happiest in the history of Cardiff football. The chair was oocupied by Mr. W. T. Morgan, in the una-voidable absence of Mr. George Bedford, chairman of the committee, who was in London. Mr. Morgan was supported by the Lord Mayor (Alderman Robert Hughes), Dr. J, J. Buist, Messrs. W. D. Phillips, Ben Win- field, and others. The members of the Bris- tol team, who proved such doughty oppo- nents to the Welsh champions in the after- noon, were also present. The Lord Mayor, who was accorded a. very hearty reception, said in a short speech that it gave him unbounded pleasure to have to perform the pleasant duty of making the presentations to "Percy Bush and his gallant band," and epoke of the gentlemanly manner in which the game was played by members of the Cardiff team last season. (Applause.) They had set a fine example for junior players. His lordship also touched upon the example set by the great Gwyn Nicholls, who, much to his lord ship's regret, had definitely decided to retire from the football arena, a statement which was received by the large company present with shouts of No." The Lord Mayor having presented the watches to the 21 players, and also a. beautl- i ful sil-r salver to Gwyn Nicholls, Mr. Percy Bt? ush, the ca?a.in of the club, responded, and in a very witty speech, which kept the audience convulsed with laughter, said that he had once more to operate in the position of speechmaker, which he (Mr. Bush) called Of unadulterated misery." With regard to the Lord Mayor's comments upon the gentle- manly manner in which the team played last season, he said he and his colleagues had always tried to play in. a fair and manly way, and they had played last season, not for a present, but for the love of the game, and, secondly, for the prestige o. the great city of Cardiff. (Applause.) Mr. Bush also referred to the unpleasant inci- dent which occurred during the game in the afternoon, when one of the Bristol team was ordered off. The brilliant half-back said words could not express how much he and his comrades regretted the incident. He said that they were not likely again this season, except at Bristol, to have to play against such a fine pack of forwards and such a speedy lot of backs as they had met that afternoon. Mr. Bush said he was sanguine that the Cardiff Club would again be as successful this season as last. Now that they had those beautiful gold watches they would be out on Saturdays to the tick. (Applause and laughter.) Mr. Gwyn Nicholls also spoke, and said that "words could not express his unfeigned admi- ration at the manner in which he had been treated, and said that it had been a, great pleasure to him to assist the club; and now that his career was ended, he would always remember the Cardiff Football Club &?nd its followers. Mr. J. L. Mathias, the English Interna- tional, who acted as captain of the Bristol team, also spoke, and said he was sorry that they could not manage to make a draw of the game in the afternoon; but they would rather be defeated by the Cardiff team than any other team in Wales. He wished, on behalf of himself and colleagues, to express their deep regret at the unpleasant incident which occurred in the afternoon. As a fact, the player who was ordered off was one of the best-hearted fellows in the team, and was so upset over it that it was with great difficulty that he was per- suaded to come to the hotel after the match, and he trusted that the Cardiff Club would do all they possibly could to assist the player when the matter came either before the English or the Welsh Union, and this Mr. Percy Bush and Dr. J. J. Buist promised them should be done. The Bristol team at this stage left, the audience singing "For they are jolly good fellows." Mr. Dunn proposed a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor.—The Chairman (Mr. W. T. Mor. gan) seconded, and in supporting Dr. J. J. Buist made reference to the Lord Mayor's brother, the old Cardiff and Welsh full-back Sawdust Hughes." The Lord Mayor in responding said he thought that Messrs. Percy Bush and Gwyn Nicholls would do well in the matter of speech-making on the Cardiff Council. (Laughter.) He was much obliged for the cordial manner in which he had been received. The hon. secretary of the movement (Mr. J. Davies) had arranged a splendid musical programme, which included selections by the band of the 2nd Glamorgan Garrison Artil- lery, under the conductorship of Mr. T. J: Coughlin, and songs by the Misses Gertrude Wedlajre and Lydia Warsaw (the latter also acting as accompanist), and Messrs. Tony Lucas, Stanley Barrett, A. Patterson, Gran- ville Tate, and A. Dunlop. The amount of money necessary has been subscribed, and a cheque for that amount was presented on Saturday to Messrs. T. W. Long and Co., who supplied the watches. The players who received the watches were:—Percy Bush (captain), George North- more (vice-captain), Gwyn Nicholls, B. T. Gabe, J. L. Williams, J. Pugsley, D. L. Evans, A. Brice, W. Neill, H. B. Winfield, R. David, R. A. Gibbs, F. Smith, J. Powell, D. Westa- cott, Cecil Biggs, L. George, E. Harding, R. C. Thomas, and E. Rumbelow. Each player was given a good reception as he stepped upon the platform to receive his memento.

SWIMMING. I THE RAYENSBOUHNE GALA. I RECORD BEATEN BY A LADY. I At the annual meeting of the Ravens- bourne Swimming Club at the Westminster Baths on Saturday night no fewer than four championships were decided, and, in addi- tion, there were two attempts upon records —one by Cecil Healy for the 150 yards of tain. 36sec., made by C. M. Daniells, of America, in July last, at Liverpool, and the other by Miss Jeanie Fletcher, of the Leices- ter Ladies' Club, to lower her own record of Imin. 21sec. for 100 yards, made at Leicester last month. The lady succeeded, her time being lmin. 20 l-5soc., but Healy, the Aus- tralian champion, failed, his time being lmin. 37 2,5see. The schoolboy championship of England was won by the Abbott-street School, Man- chester, who beat Sutton County School, Ryan-street School, Bradford, and the Cen- tra,l Connoil- School at Weston-super-Mare. In the final in a water-polo match Wet?- ton-super-Mare beat Leicester by six goals to four. For the 100 yards ladies' championship of the Southern Counties there was a fine con- test, Miss Allardyce, of Battersea Ladies' Club, only beating Miss Parsley, of the Clapton Ladies' Club, in the final by a yard in lmin. 29 3-5sec. The squadron championship of the City of London was secured by the City Police, and the Otter defeated Holloway United for the team championship of the Southern Counties after a great race, the old Cantab, R. G. F. Cohen, practically winning the race for his club. In a water-polo match London beat Man- chester by five goals to three.

St. Athan is a side that has shown remark- ably improved football since last season, a fact which was forcibly emphasised by the manner in which they beat Barry Inter- mediate Old Boys at Barry on Saturday. The Old Boys are considered a clever, all-round side, but St. Athan, especially forward, were too good for them. Tom Lewis, who assisted the "old 'uns," but who is well known asthe centre forward for Barry Dock Albions, had the misfortune to dislocate a knee soon after half-time.
