Mainly About Football. WHAT YORKSHIREMEN THINlf Of OUR FOOTBALL GROUNDS. Fitzgerald's Presentation Takes Place at the Grand Hotel Pembroke County Team. Mr. B. A. Refers, hen. secretary of 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 that nothing has been heard of it in Pembroke Deck and, again, let me say that Pembrokeshire plays Aberavon 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 & strong team—at least we think me, 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 (Neylaad) and Lieutenant JohRatone (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 Dock. I see a writer in the Yorkshire Post has been attempting to pick holes in the Swansea ground, Speaking of Saturday's match, he saya that if the ground was worse than it was for the Glamorgan-Yorkshire match it must have been very bad indeed." It was bad on 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 to play upon a ground that is either a trifle too hard or the least bit soft. Deary mo 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 Cambria 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 of 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 cannot imagine, except he wished me to say that it was a bad job it hurt Thomas's head, or something of that sort. 4k 101 Tu^-iiesoi^iion W™itzg^rala llfees place at 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 promised 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 on 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 Swansea 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 of Messrs. D. T. Alexander, bon. sec. W. Thomas, the Hayes; R. Thomas, Boverton Court aud 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 stock. 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 scores are as follows :-Rotith A. Tom Shackell, 2; R. A. Blandy, 3; H. Fairlamb, 4; E. Fairlamb, 7; G. S. Stowe, jun, 9; C. G. Morgan, 10 total, 35. St. Anne's G. John- ston, 1; F. Charles, 5 W. Bant, 6: P. R. Win- dow, 8 — Bryant, 13; F. Sparkes, 15; 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, so much so that no one would have believed they were sightless unless convinced of the melancholy fact. Interrogated by a pressman, Mr. Boewedl remarked that he could well and truly realise all that occurred ia the match, which made him very excited. WELSH ATHLETE.

PeoDle We Have Met. THE PUGILIST. 1. WILLIE SYKES, reared in the congenial atmosphere of Slum Alley, at an I 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 generally. 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' ia through windo*^$jfc night time and taking away goods which did not belong to him. Bill is alw^fcliiiay'an extensive rest of ten years from his uspial business. ?
MISPRACTICES ALLEGED.
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 sue 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 tor 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-clerk 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 "j in question—nearer zEII000 than £ 500—but whether a satisfactory explanation can be given to the committee or not remains to be seen."
PICKPOCKETS AT PONTYPRIDD
PICKPOCKETS AT PONTYPRIDD A Suspect Gives a Detective a Run at the Station. The platform of Pontypridd Railway Staftion is becoming the happy hunting- ground of pickpockets, who uome from Cardiff, Swansea, and other towns to carry on their nefarious tricks, for it will he 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 -i long term of imprisonment. It became known to the looal police that a gang of thieves had arrived at the station on Sat unlay even- ing, and Police-constable William Henry Harris was told off in plain clothes to do detective duty. While on the platform lie noticed a suspicious-looking character pass- ing a purse to another, and the officer at once pounced upon him, but the alleged pick- pocket got free, leaving a part of the oollar 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 orowd of pas- sengers, but was eventually captured. The man made another attempt for liberty, but this time the officer 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 wns found in' that a woman named -Tane Williams had been robbed of a purse containing jBt. When the prisoner was searched a pawn-ticket was found in his pocket for a diamond ring, on which £ 2 '■ had been advanced, and several other articles. Inkley will probably be brought up before the magistrates to-dav (Tuesday).

DISPUTE IN A CHAPEL. An-Unseemly Interruption to a Cardiff Pastor's Discourse. The Rev. J. J. Knight, pastor of Longcross- street Baptist Chapel, Cardiff, preached his fare- well sermon on Sunday evening. It will be remembered tha.t 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 audience, which completely filled the chapel, listened attentively to the sermon.

y- PORTMWOCK 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 had 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 nit.; and also to portions of 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 at 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 provisions had they any claim against the owners for the value of the short allowance, and in case of illness, such 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 bad ordered a formal inquiry to 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.
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 we say, to Mr. Alfred Austin or Sir Edwin Arnold ? An answer to such object-ions 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 recognised as worthy, above all his fellow bards, to succeed to the bays last worn by Wordsworth and Tennyson.

New Cure for Small-Pox
New Cure for Small-Pox IT IS SIMPLY RED LIGHT Iff THE WINDOW. A New Application of an Old tifr Generally Not Well Under- stood Principle. A very interesting and highly .rtant eT periment is being made in a New York hospital It is nothing more er less than an attempt tt cure small-pox by red light. The thing has just been done, and most suc( cessfullr, in the city of Bengon, NOP* way. New York is to have the honoial of being the second city that makes a practiea application of a scientific principle long know» but not understood, but which, when fully proved, will make a distinct epoch in medics' practice. Hundreds of years ago, along in the dark middle ages, doctors knew from accidental observation that mall-pox, then a plague which devastated wboie countries, killing half their infant life season aftet season, ran a comparatively harmless course when treatmest was most difficult, and whea scientific methods began to obtain it was entirely discarded an all old superstition. The reason was not than understood. It has only come te. be understood very recently through some dpir- riments made at the City Hospital in Bergen by. Dr. Lindhoha, guided by the precepts and studioC of Dr. Finaen, a Norwegian expert in sIria 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 thatt this being so, it would only be necessary t4 exclude them, not to s-hnt out the light entirely, to give relief to the patient. His concluidons were put to the test by Dr. Lindholm, 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 Journal: The ultra-violet rays of light were shut out, the report says, -of a. room in which twenty small-pox cases were treated, ten of them being non-vaccinated children. Complete success attended the experiment. All the patients re. covered, though they were all severely attacked* The eruption dried up .shortly after its appea. ranee. There was no fever of maturation, and the patients recovered soon with few scarat The dreaded pitting was avoided. Dr. Cyrug Edson, the New York Medical Heahh Commis, sioner, had read of and followed the experiment with great iaterest. A& soon u the results Bergen were reported, be decided to try the as*; periment here. There* at prevent a rk ily arer*j age of twenty eases of small-pox at the Itiver8idi| Hospital.

There will be room in the pavilion for ten or a. dozen patients, and as many as it will hold will be promptly transferred thither from the elder wards. As in Bergen, the severest cases will be chosen for the test, and a most minute record will be made of the results as they are obtained.

CARDIFF EXHIBITION.
CARDIFF EXHIBITION. Public Want to go Cautious and witt Consider Before Deciding. A meeting of the Cardiff Exhibition Gom-' niittee was held on Monday evening in the, Town-hall, Cardiff, under the presidency of the mayor (Councillor W. J. Trouaoe). Thoo, chairman wws supported by Councillors j4 RamssdaJe, Edward Thomas, H. White, a/ad Wji E. Vaughan, aad Mr. Ballinger (hoa. secre* tary pro tern.). A large number of genHe-< men representing wide interests in the townf were present. The meeting had been con., vened owing to a resolution passed at a publio meeting he}; on Monday last, resolving that? arrangements be at onoe proceeded with for,, holding all exhibition in Cardiff during thMt year.—The Chairman, in opening the meeting,' .said they had had the Bristol F,hibition build- ing offered them for £ 3XK)0, 1, ztd already re-' ceived tenders for taking ii kilding down, bringing it over from Bt < and re-erecting it at Cardiff. He wws pleased to say tliaft the lowest tender, which was for £2,450" was given by a Cardiff rirm.—Mr. Councillor White said he would like to know whether* their actual guarantee fund should reach ml certain amount before any steps were ta.keJf to purchase the building. — Mr. Lewit Williams, in supporting the question of Coun- cillor White ranurkel that they (the com- mittee) would he severally and jointly re- j sponsible for ;.uy amount which was gua-; ran teed.—Mr. Ballinger said that the nrmimunK guarantee fixed at the previous meeting wa.84 £ 5,000.—Mr. Cook pointed out that,j supposing the guarantee was fixed atii £ 5.000, that ainount would not be; a quarter, or, perhaps, a sixth, of the- whole cost. Then, in the case of a Joss., the committee would be responsible for all- of the excess beyond the guarantee fund, and. as had been the case many times pre- viously, the guarantors, who were also on the committee. would be called upon agliin to help to make up the deficiency.—Several gentlemen then expressed their to have their 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 £ 16.000, and their building had oost them £ 13.000. They had had no deficiency, and lie 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 W'Q.1 things had shaped that night. — After & great deal of discussion on the same Subject, a proposition of Councillor White, seconded by the Mayor, was unanimously passed, "That a sub-committee fee appointed to draw up a report on the estimated income and expenditure and on the cost of a suit* able building, and also to decide as to in* guarantee fund." iMHMHHaMnnMMl
