Mainly About Football. t WHAT YORKSHIREMEN THINIC Of OUR FOOTBALL GROUNDS. Fitzgerald's Presentation Takes Ptace at the Grand Hotel To-morrow. Pembroke County Team. Mr. B. A. Rogers, hen. secretary ef the P.D.R.F.C., writes :—Seeing in your notes a few days back that a team has been got up to play Pembrokeshire from Cardiff, I think it rather strange tha.t nothing has been heard ef it in Pembroke Deck and, again, let me say that Pembrokeshire plays Aberavor. at Pembroke Dock next Saturday. I should like to know how many Pembroke County teams there are- This match should prove a good one, as we have a strong team—at least we think no. An additional attraction will be that of the splendid band of the Welsh Regi. ment, which will be in attendance. Be- low I give the names of the team selected to represent the county: — Back. S. Nicholl (Tenby); three-quarter backs, H. Williams and A. Cross (Haverfordwest), centres, W. Devonald (Neyland) and Lieutenant Johnstone (Welsh Regiment), wings; half-backs, G. Evans (Haverfordwest) and F. Lloyd (Narbeth) forwards, W. Harris (captain), T. Lloyd, W. Webb (Neyland), T. Daniels (Tenby), Private Bond, Corporal Collins (Welsh Regiment), G. Weatherall (R.A.), and W. Husband (Pem- broke Deck. I see a writer in the Yorkshire Post has been attempting to pick holes in the Swansea ground. Speaking of Saturday's match, he says that" if the ground was worse than it was for the Glamorgan-Yorkshire match it must have been very bad indeed." It was bad an Satur- day, we will admit that right off, but I do not remember that there was anything particu* larly wrong with it on the above-men- tioned occasion. Still, Yorkshire are perhaps a bit superfine in these matters. They do so much for their players, tend them with such fatherly care, and bestow on them such valuable delicacies that they of necessity look upon them as valuable property who may not be asked te play upon a ground that is either a trifle too hard or the least bit soft. Deary me but times have changed. I can remember the time-and not so very distant either-when Yorkshire clubs played on grounds on which the grass was con- spicuous by its absence. The Cambrio. Daily Leader points out that I am incorrect in my statement in saying that Thomas charged England with his head in the stomach. I may be, for everyone is liable to make mistakes, but at the same time I don't think I am. The incident occurred almost opposite where I sat, and it still appears to me as clearly as possible that I was correct in what I said. Now the Swansea writer's statement that I insinuate Thomas wilfully rammed England in the stomach is a horse ef another kind. I did not insinuate anything of the kind. I said that the charge might not have been intentional, and that probably the Swansea man lost his head at the time. What the Swansea writer can find to grumble at in that I eannot imagine, except he wished me to say that it was a bad job it hurt Thomas's head, or something of that sort. i The pres Jj|ation i^itigeral(Jl^tesrpla(}^i|iJ a smoking concert to be held at the Grand Hotel on Wednesday. Arthur Gould will, I under- stand, make the presentation, whilst Alderman Carey will preside. I am asked to remind those gentlemen who premised subscriptions that the list closes this evening. It should be a very lively affair, and I expect to see a very big muster to witness the proceedings.^ With Preston North End knocked out of the cup ties there will be nothing to prevent Trainer turning up at Swansea en Saturday next. All the other players, I believe, will be available. It is stated that there is very little doubt but that Everton will visit South Wales next month, and will play matches with Cardiff, Swansea> and a South Wales eleven. Down at Swi^psea the locals are interesting themselves in a benefit for the Brothers James. A grand assault-at arms will take place, in which all the South Wales talent has promised to do their little bit. I hope the boys will have a bumping benefit, for certainly they de- serve it. The Bradford Club will be on tour in Wales this week-end, and will play matches with Newport and Cardiff. The party, which will probably be a small one, consisting of about twenty players and a few members of the com- mittee, will leave Bradford on Friday for the Angel Hotel, Cardiff. They play Newport on the following day. The Cardiff team will be met on Monday. The deputation from the Cardiff and District Cart Horse Company (Limited) proceeded to London on Monday to negotiate for the sale of the shire stallion Bowden Thumper, which they have been using for the past two seasons, and to purchase a new horse. The deputation con- sists ef Messrs. D. T. Alexander, hen. see. W. Thomas, the Hayes; R. Thomas, Boverton Court; and Henry Osmond. This society is in a most flourishing condition, and as a result of bring- ing high class shire stallions into the district there are to be found in the Vale of Glamorgan a large number of really useful and valuable young cart stook. The meeting between the St. Anne's and Roath Harriers, which took place en Saturday, resulted in favour of Roath by thirteen points. The full soeree are as follows:—Roath: A. Tom Shaekell, 2; B. A. Blaady, 3; H. Fairlamb, 4 E. Fairlamb, 7; G. S. Stowe, jun, 9; C. G. Morgan, 10; total, 35. St. Anne's G. John- sten, 1; F. Charles, 5 W. Bant, 6: P. B. Win- dow, 8 — Bryant, 13; F. Sparkes, 16; total, 48. Blind men at a boxing display sounds a novelty. Among the numerous company at the Lambeth School of Arms last week to witness an entertainment provided by Dick Hook were two blind men, in the persons of Frank Boswell, broom and basket maker, of Bond-street, Vauxhall (a constant attendant at rowing matches and an exceptionally good domino player), and Chips, a fancy florist. Both these enthusiasts followed the boxing with wonderful zest and rigour, aeaaneh so that no one weoid have believed they were sightless unless eonvinoed of the melancholy fact. Interrogated by a pressman, Mr. BosweU remarked that he eould well and truly realise all that occurred in the match, wh*oh made him ▼«ry excited. WELSH ATHlETt

People We Have Met. THE PUGILIST. 1. WILLIE SYKES, reared in the congenial atmosphere of Slum Alley, at an early age exhibited these characteristics which were destined, in after life, to make him famous. 2. At school Billy was not an ideal scholar, but his ability to punch boys smaller than himself and dodge those of his own size made up for his laxity in the eyes of his beloved parent. 3. Arrived at man's estate, Bill, now known as the Slogger," became the pet of the sports," including dukes, lords, and their hangers on geaera.Uy. Cham- pagne, loose cash, and honour now fell thick upon him. 4. But as years rolled on Bill grew out of form, and adversity overtook him. The dukes and lords had ceased to be his friends. Then he fell into bad habits and cultivated a weakness for getting- in through windows atnighfc time and taking away goods which did not belong to him. Bill is now Mflp extensive rest of ten years from his usual business.

j81*3", — V; r. MISPRACTICES ALLEGED. Swansea Corporation and One of their Responsible Officials. We are informed that special notices have been issued to members of the water and sewer's committee of the Swansea Corporation for their meeting to-day, stating that business of an important and urgent nature will be brought before them. As the committee will report to the council at their Wednesday's meeting, the question will then be publicly dis- cussed, and it will be well, therefore, to sus pend comment till then. A Swansea paper, however, states that the committee, together with the town-clerk, have been engaged for some months in privately in- vestigating allegations against an official, and says :—" By this time it appears that the town- clerk has finished the onerous work of making a. full and searching inquiry into all the details of the case, and the members of the committee are loud in their expressions of praise to Mr. John Thomas for his patient and untiring exertions. The inquiry hss not only occupied several months, but it has been of such an exacting nature that the town-clerk has been greatly overworked in consequence. The matter, involving as it does the reputation and charac- ter of one of the responsible officials of the cor- poration, is in itself a matter of grave public importance, but until the town-cl&rk will have submitted his report to the water and sewers committee to-morrow afternoon, it would be premature, and, indeed, impossible, to enter into any details. Several hundred pounds are in question—nearer JE1,000 than £ 500—but whether a satisfactory explanation can be given to the committee or not remains to be seen."

PICKPOCKETS AT PONTYPRIDD A Suspect Gives a Detective a Run at the Station. The platform of Pontypridd Railway Station is becoming tho happy hunting- ground of pickpockets, who eome from Cardiff, Swansea, and other towns to carry on their nefarious tricks, for it will be remembered that not very long ago a large gang of these "artful dodgers" were captured after an ex- citing chase on the platform, and sent to a long term of imprisonment. It became known to the local police that a gang of thieves had arrived at the station on Saturday even- ing, and Police-constable William Henry Harris was told off in plain clothes to do detective duty. While on the platform he noticed a suspicious-looking character pass- ing a purse to another, and the oilicer at once pounced upon him, but the alleged pick- pocket got free, leaving a part, of the collar of his coat in Harris's hands, while the receiver suddenly disappeared. The supposed thief then made for the subway and doubled his pursuer, mixing up with a crowd of pas- sengers, but was eventually captured. The man made another attempt for liberty, but this time the offioer was more wary, and with assistance the suspect was taken to the police-station, where it transpired that his name was James Inkley, a well-known "per- son." On making inquiries it was found that a woman named Jane Williams had been robbed of a purse containing £ 4. When the prisoner was searched a pawn-ticket was found in his pocket for a. diamond rinp;, on which E2 had been advanced, and several other articles. Inkley will probably be brought up before the magistrates to-day (Tuesday).

DISPUTE IN A CHAPEL. An Unseemly Interruption to a Cardiff Pastor's Discourse. The Rev. J. J. Knight, pastor of Longcress- street Baptist Chapel, Cardiff, preached his fare- well sermon on Sunday evening. It will be remembered that a dispute occurred at the chapel about three months ago, when, after a meeting of the members, we believe it was decided that the pastor should be asked to resign. On Sunday night a reference which he made to the dispute induced one of the Church members to stand up and interrupt the rev. gentleman's discourse. Order was quickly restored, and the andienee, which completely filled the chapel. listened attentively to the sermon.

PORT YARROCK WRECK. Mr. Webb Asks a Question in the House of Commons. In the House of Commons on Monday Mr. WEBB (N,, Waterford, West) asked the Presi- dent of the Board of Trade whether the atten- tion of the department ha.d been directed to the circumstances attendant on the loss of the barque Port Yarrock, 2.175 tons, with twenty hands in Brandon Bay on the 28th ult.; and also to portions ef the log of Mr. Barnes, senior apprentice, which appeared in the Times of the 14th inst. would any inquiry be held if the vessel left Cardiff on her outward voyage short-handed and with a falsely-rated crew, could anyone now be made amenable; was it the duty of the British Consul &* Santa Rosalia to report as to the crew with which she sailed on her homeward voyage and when the crew of a. vessel were put on short allowance of previsions bad they any claim against the owners fer the value ef the short allowance, and in case of illness, soch as scurvy, from improper victualling, had they any claim for damages. Mr. MUNDELLA said the attention of the Board of Trade had been called to the circum- stances of the case to which his hon. friend referred. He had ordered a formal inquiry te be held. Until that inquiry was completed it was only right he should defer an answer to the supplemental question of the hon. member.

TENNYSON'S SUCCESSOR. Said the Appointment has been Aban- doned for the Present. Any notion of appointing a successor to Tennyson appears (says the Westminster Gazette") to have been abandoned for the present. Some strong party men continue, however, to lament that Mr. Gladstone does not take the opportunity of rewarding his friends." What is the good, they say, of with- holding the Laureateship from Mr. Lewis Morris, for instance, when, as soon as the Tories next come in, the post would go—shall we say, to Mr. Alfred Austin or Sir Edwin Arnold ? An answer to such objections is forthcoming. According to rumours, the two parties have agreed to a general self-denying ordinance in this manner; and should the Tories come in at the next election, they will follow Mr. Gladstone's precedent, and leave the Laureateship vacant until some poet arises who would. both be acceptable to the Court and be generally reeognised as worthy, above all his fellow bards, to succeed to the bays last- worn by Wordsworth and Tennyson.

New Cure for Small-Pox IT IS SIMPLY RED LIGHT IB THE WINDOW. A New Application of an Old L4 Generally Not Well Under- stood Principle. A very interesting; and highly riant ejp periment ie being made in a New Yosk hospital It is nothing more or less than an mktempt fA cure small-pox by red light. The thing has just been deoe, and most SUCl. cessfully, in the city ef Bergen, Ncmr way. New York is to have the honoirf of being the seoecd city that makes a practica application of a scientific prineiple long knorra but not understood, but which, when fulty. proved, will make a distinct epoch is medical practice. Hundreds of years ago. along in the dark middle ages, doctors knew from accidental observation that small-pox, then a plague whieh devastated whole countries, killing half their infaaxt life season aftej season, ran a comparatively harmless course-. when treatment was most difficult, and whea scientific methods began to obtain it was entirely discarded as an old superstition. The reasom wag not then understood. It has only come t4 be understood very recently through some e. riments made at the-City Hospital in Bergen by Dr. Lindhoim, guided bythe precepts and studied of Dr. Fin sen, a Norwegian apertin ekuft diseases of great repute. Bad Effect of the Sun's Rays. Dr. Finsel demonstrated that the chemical rays in the sunlight have a damaging influ, ence upon the skin, and that, in fact, sun- burn is simply an effort of nature to protect the cuticle against them. He showed that the ill influence of these chemical rays was felt particularly in skin diseases, and tnatr this being so, it weuld only be necessary t< exclude them, not to shut out tbe light entirelyt to give relief to the patient. His oocolnsiona were put to the test by Dr. Lindhoim, who fitted up the small-pox ward in his hospital with red curtains. The result was reported in a, recent issue of the New York Medical Jcmrn at The ultra-violet rays of light were shut out, the report says, of a. room in which twenty small-pox cases were tseated, ten of them being' non-vaccinated children. Complete succes* attended the experiment. All the patients re. covered, though they were all severely attacked* The eruption dried up^shortly after its appear ranee. There was no fever of maturation, &Olk the patients recovered soon with few scars* The dreaded pitting was avoided. Dr. Cyrurf Edson, the New York Medieal Health Commie, sioner, had read of and followed the experiment with great interest. As soon as the results afc Bergen wetw reported, be decided to try the g.o' periment here. These is at present a d-i ily averl age of twenty eases of amaU^pox at the RiversicJgK Hospital.

CARDIFF EXHIBITION. Public Want to go Cautions and will Consider Before Deciding. A meeting of the Cardiff Exhibition Cotft.J mittee was held on Monday evening in the Town-hadl, Cardiff, under the presidency of, the mayor (Counciltor W. J. Trounce). This: chairman wws supported by Councillors h Raanstkble, Edward Thomas, H. White, aod VKjf E. Vaughaa, aDd Mr. Ballinger (hoo. secre- tary pro tern.). A large number of gentle-l men representing wide interests in the townr were present. The meeting had beau con- vexted owing to a resolution passed at a public meeting hela on Monday last, resolving that ajraiigement« be at once proceeded with for; holding an exhibition in Cardiff during this?, ymr.-The Chairman, in opening the meeting, said they hadhadthe Bristol Exhibition build- ing offered them for £ 3,000. ar. had already re-^ ceived tenders for taking t building down, bringing it over from Br foi, and re-erecting it at Cardiff. He was pleased to say thai* the lowest tender, which was for £ 2,460, was given by a Caniiif iinii.—Mr. Councillor' White said he would like to know whether, their actual guarantee fund should reach ik certain amount before any steps were takef to purchase the building. — Mr. Lewii Williams, in sup}x>rtkig the question of Coun- cillor White remarked that they (the oom..1 mittee) would Le severally and jointly re-5 sponsible for dty amount which was gua- ¡ ran teed.—Mr. BrJlinger said that the minimum^ guarantee fixed at the previous meeting wa&i £ 5,000.—Mr. Cook pointed out iliat,J supposing the guarantee was fixed aIî! JE5,000, that amount would not he; a quarter, or, perhaps, a sixth, of the»' whole cost. Then, in the ease of a. loss.) the committee would be responsible for alii of the excess beyond the guarantee fund, and. as had been the case many times pre-i viously, the guarantors, who were also on the committee, would be called upon agiirt to help to make up the deficiency.—Several gentlemen then expressed their desiz-e to have their names taken off the committee. -The Mayor said he could not understand such want of faith on their part. He was perfectly certain that the guarantors or the- committee would not have to be called upon to make good any deficiency. The Bristol people had guaranteed an amount of £ 15,000,. and their building had oost them £13.000. They had had no deficiency, and he was sure that, with Cardiff's large population, their energy and •enterprise, they ought to surpass Bristol in every sense. He felt a little disappointed at the way things had shaped that night. After a- great deal of discussion on the same subject, a proposition of Councillor White, seconded by the Mayor, was unanimously passed, "That a sub-committ-ee be appointed to draw up a report OB the estimated ineoHK and expenditure and on the cost of a suit. able building, and also to decide as to tl4 guarantee fund."
