Football Competition.
Football Competition. THERE ARE TWO WINNERS OF THE GUINEA PRIZE. Gossip About the Last international Match and the Team Newport have Selected to Meet Cardiff on Saturday. The Express" football competition has brought in no lees than 3,864- coupons. Strange to say, out of all these only five have managed to give the names of the five winning elube, although olose on 2,000 prophesied the winners within one. The greatest stumbling-block was the Pontypridd v. Treorky match, in which quite 75 per cent. gave Pontypridd to win. Next to that came the Morriston—Llanelly matcfe, in which the majority gave Llanelly as the victors. On past form, others were, per- haps, to a certain extent justified in giving Bristol to beat Penart-h. Playing on the Bris- tol ground, and the fact of the home club having run Cardiff to a try and made a draw with Swansea., perhaps justified this, but, at the same time, if due importance had been attached to the Cardiff-Penarth draw these prophecies might have been the other way about. All said and done, it is somewhat surprising that the number who correctly gave the five winning olitbs should have been so small as 13 per cent. of the competitors. I can under- stand the Pontypridd team being so persis- tently given, but. taking a line through Swan- sea, Morriston and Llanelly were very near eaoh other. and the pertastenoy with which readers plumped for Llanelly is. therefore, the more remarkable. To decide between the two winners was a delicate task. On the first match -Ca.rdiff v. Swansea—matters are oertainly even, each competitor scoring a, point. In the Newport—Bradford match Davies's prediction is certainly the best., and he scores a point ahead. Morriston and Llanelly see both men correct with a point eaob. The Penarth predic- tions of each come out even, whilst Jenkins is considered a bit ahead on the Treorky match. This, of course, brings matters even, each competitor having four points. The Peny- graig-Neath match was not played. So it was not considered, and, therefore, it was decided the fairest way would be to divide the guinea. This has been done, and a cheque for half-a- guinea has been sent to each of the following, whose coupons are appended below: — W INKER. LoSEH. W INKER. LoSEH. »""■ w £ £ 00 GO G. T. S G.

Goddard, 3, Wyudham-street, Cardiff; H. Thomas, 55 Elm-street, Cardiff; and R. Roberts, 28, Havelock-street, Cardiff. They lost, however, by reason of the approximate scores. Bristol don't seem to like the beating Penarth gave them. After running two such teams as Cardiff and Swansea to a try victory and a draw respectively, they naturally thought Penarth a "soft snap." Because they didn't turn out such, the Bristolians condole them- selves as follows:—Despite a good deal of manoeuvring that was open to adverse criti- cism in Penarth's style of play against Bristol on Saturday, the fact is undeniable that the <' best team won. The Welsh forwards were tricky, and the three-quarters quick and w £ ll- drilled. Time after time they got the ball in their lines from scrum—not always by the most commendable methods, it is true; and they displayed an amount of skill in passing which sorely perplexed their adversaries. The Bristol forwards had a good deal to do with preventing the visitors' piling up a heavier score, whilst Turner's tackling and the power- ful punts of Willcoeks, who played with great dash, proved very effective. The city team eased down once or twice in the second half, and were penned pretty tightly in their own quarters: but after this, with the odds against them, they made 5 brave struggle right up to the call of time to carry play to the opposite end of the field, and, so far as indi- vidual effort went, gave a good account of themselves." The team selected to represent Newport in the match which will be played at Cardiff on Saturday will l>e:—Back, C. J. Thomas: three- quarter-backs, W. G. James, A. J. Gould, A. W. Boucher, and LI. Thomas; half-backs, F. C. Parfitt and Percy Phillips; forwards, T. C. Graham, J. Hannen, H. T. Day, W. Watts, H. Packer, W. Groves, T. Pook, and T. New- oombe. Llewellyn Thomas sustained an injury to his back last Saturday, but it is thought that he will be able to play next Saturday. If not, his place will be taken by Gus Gould. "Dear Welsh Athlete,-Allow me a small space to express my views re the fast approach- ing and last of the international contests, viz., Ireland v. Wales. In the first place, I don't agree with the selection of Joe Davies on the reserve list in preference to Alan Morgan, of Pontypridd, who, I will say is, to my fancy, the best full back in Wales, barring Tommy England, to whom, of course, we must give tit* preference. M'Cutcheon ought not to get his place, my reason for so saying is because of his rather playing for his county than his country. And again, why not give the place to men in our midst. If we mean to beat Ire- land, Fitzgerald and Pearson will have to show improved form to that which they have been showing since the Scottish match. As to Arthur Gould, there will be no fault to find if he plays like he did on Saturday against Bradford, his all-round play l'eing very noticeable. Half- back I think we will hold our own—that is, if Parfitt works the serum and let Sweet-Eecott stand out, whereas if the latter works the scrum Ireland will beat us by a score representing penalty goals for off-side play. Forward I don't think can be bettered, but, at the same time, that is the position I think we will be beaten.- Y oun, &c., "WELSHMAN." "The Bard" in the "Athletic News" says that the effusions of some of the South Wales pressmen over the Association International match were startling in their originality. He, however, is kind enough to exonerate the Evening Express," which he flatters by saying is the only paper that dealt with the subject in apything like an adequate manner. The fate for this match, by the way, is said to av« only amounted to £ 150. I cannot under- stand this at all, for the grand stand, whioh alone represents j380, was packed, whilst on the far side of the ground and along the ropes the crowd was very thick. There must have been a fair sprinkling of deadheads who ¡ managed to get in on the nod somehow ar other. WELSH ATHLETE.

BEN DAVIES IN BERLIN.
BEN DAVIES IN BERLIN. He Gets an Enthusiastic Praise from the German Press. Mr. Ben Davias has just returned from a very successful tour in Germany, and his recep- tion there (says the "Musical Herald") is not only gratifying on his own account, but for what it has done to remove the prejudice- even the contempt—for English musical artists which exists on the Continent. Mr. Davies, who was engaged for the tour by a London concert agency, saaig in Berlin, Leipzig, Ham- burg, Stuttgart, Frankfort, and Dusseldorf. We translate the "Berliner Tagblatt's" opinion on his performances :—"Rumour has once more misled the art-loving public, for it has once more spoken truly. The fame of Ben Davies was trumpeted in all tones, and lo! he was not exaggerated., lien Davies was a pheno- menon such as Berlin has not seen for long; he is a singer who unites in the happiest way three qualities, which only too seldom are to be found together—Voice, School, and Ta.-ti;. His tenor has volume, is youthfully fresh and full of manly power; in all positions sonorous and pleasing. This excellent organ is trained in the Italian school, in that old Italian school which fosters the art-song and the bel canto. The technic of the singer is faultless in every aspect; tone-attack and tone-building are classical; the voice does not sound palatev or thin; no wavering intonation and no tremolo offend the ear. How seldom does the artist understand how to hold out the tones and to bind them with a legitimate portamento! Thoroughly finished also is the management of the breath and the balance of the registers. But the best thing is that Ben Davies only employs the moans with which nature has en- dowed him and his great artistic dexterity as a true artist, and not to win a triumph by cheap effects." The "Borden-Courier," the "Neuaste Nachrichten," and the "Fremden- blatt," whoise reports we have before us, speak in terms of equal praise with the "Tagblatt" just quoted. More than one of these papers remarks on the fact that during the concert Mr. Davies sang in four languages—English, French, German, ami Italian—and that his pronunciation wa, equally pure in every rase. The "Fremdenblatt" says:—"I could have wished for th° presence of r.nuiy singers in order that they might have learnt how a heaven- gifted singer husbands his i>re:dh und parts with it afit-r a long time Albion's artist achieved a great triumph." Mr. Bon Davies's many friends in Wales and in England will rejoice that he has so successfully vindicated our native art in musical Germany. The credit, however, belongs to Wales rather than to England."
MUSICAL FESTIVALS.
MUSICAL FESTIVALS. Committee Preparing for the 1895 Gathering at Cardiff. On Tuesday evening a meeting of the pro- visional committee of the Cardiff Festival for- 1895 was held at the Park Hotel. Mr. H. Thompson occupied the chair.— A letter was read from Dr. C. V. Stanford, in response to an invitation of the festival committee to write a new work for the Cardiff Festival, stating that, whilst it was contrary to his habit to make a definite proposal, still he was unite willing that a work of his should he performed at Cardiff if it could be got ready in time. — The secretary was requested to reply, thanking Dr. Stanford and expressing the desire of the committee to perform such a work.—It was announced that over £ 1,100 had already been guaranteed, and thereupon the committee de- cided to cult the guarantors together on the 17th of March next for the purpose of electing a general council.—It was decided to send a deputation to London to meet Dr. Dvorak re- specting the proposed new work from his pen.

BALLAD-S!NGING COMPETITION. On Tuesday eveniner the Cardiff Panopticon was filled at an early hear with an audience who were attracted thither by the singing competi- tion which had been arranged by Mr. Stoll. Fonr ladies had signified their intention of com- peting, and although the number was small the quality of the singing was decidedly good. Miss Agnes Clark secured the highest number of vote6 and the prize for a very sweet render- ing of the okl ballad. "Mona," and Miss Holmes, with Tit-for-Tat," came second, and Miss Carrie Mander a good third with KiHaraey." Mr. Stoll is to be congratulated on the success which has attended this novel addition to the weekly programme.

CARDIFF EXHIBITION.
CARDIFF EXHIBITION. More Time Granted for Considering Bristol's Offer. At a special meeting of the Bristol Town Council held on Tuesday the question of the giving over to the corporation the site on which the Bristol Industrial Exhibition Building stands was under discussion.—Mr. Barker, chairman of the industrial committee, said they had had protracted 1.. gotiations with Cardiff as to the purchase of the building, but nothing definite had been agreed to. The negotiations were still on, and be should ask the council to extend the time for removing the structure. The 25th of March was the time agreed on to clear the site, but he should ask the eouneil to extend the period another two months.—After some discussion, the extsnsioR ef time was agreed to.

COMIC OPERA AT CARDIFF.
COMIC OPERA AT CARDIFF. Yeomen of the Guard at the Royal Last Evening. The" Yeomen of the Guard" was the attraction at the Cardiff Theatre Royal on Tuesday evening, and it evoked the enthusiasm that is inseparably associated with all Gilbert and Sullivan's operas. Unlike the inane plots -or, rather, absence of plots-which charac- terise most light operas, there is a strong dramatic interest in the "Y oomen of the Guard," and this is responsible for a musical treatment that approaches closely to grand opera in the passionate intensity of its expression. It is regrettable that Gilbert should have introduced his only obnoxious character into the piece. The brutality of Wilfred Shadbolt (accentuated, per- haps, by Mr. Fred Billington's impressive imper- sonation) and his unhappy union to Phoebe Meryll always clash discordantly en sensative nerves. For the rest, both principals and chorus acquitted themselves admirably. Mr. George Thome's Jack Point improves with repetition, and equal success marked the efforts of all the artistes concerned. The most popularly re- ceived pieces were, as usual, the "Tower Tomb" quartette, the song of The Merryman and his Maid," and the "Cock and Bull duet. This (Wednesday) evening The Gondoliers will be produced.

At the Royal Welsh Ladies' Choir repetition concert at Swansea on Monday evening, taking advantage of the interval between the two parts in the programme, Lord Swansea, amid loud cheers, expressed a hearty welcome to the choir on their return from America, where they had won Lie highest prize at the World's Fair, and referred in eulogistic terms to their subsequent presentation to her Majesty the Queen. They would all agree with him, his lordship said, that such a choir was an honour to gallant little Wales," whose people were famous for their musical talent. (Cheers.) In conclusion, Lord Swansea personally congratu- lated Madame Clara Novello Davies upon the un- qualified success which had attended her efforts, and trusted that the musical talent possessed by the members of the choir would descend to their children's children.

For Preserving the Voice
For Preserving the Voice ■ ♦*— MARIE ROZE GIVES SOME VALUABLE HINTS. TeMs How Voices Are Spoiled its Training and What She Has Found to Benefit her Most. In the current number of "Woman" there if an inieresst»ng article by Madame Marie Rozf on "How to Become a. Singer." A girl (she says) oaainot ascertain if she has a really good voice before the age of sirtetin. If she is resolved to make singing her career, she should then put herself m the oare of a teadter who" knows how to develop tiH" voice without strain- ing it. I have known many girls who were endowed by nature with fine voices and dra- ma>fri<5 talent, and who might have had a suo- oessPul career if only they had begun right. Through bad training their voices were strained and became oraoked aod metallic before they were 26 years of age. The serious and assi- duous cultivation of a girl's voice should not be begun before the age of sixteen, and then only if she is strong and well. I always had the fortune to have very good teachers; my first teacher was Grossei, of the Conserva- toire, who instructed me for throe years; I studied Italian opera under Enrico Delia Ledia., and French opera with Wartel, who alfo tatsglit Madame Christine Nilsson and Madame Tre- belli. Another important thing is rest. A sing** should lead a very regular life. Madame Patti, who has preaserved her voice so well, takes the greatest care of herself, and goes to bed early on the days when she is not singing. I have always been very careful myself, more especially on my singing days. I speak as little as possible," and in a low voice. I d<B< at four o'clock, having soup, fish, and steak, and perhaps milk pudding, but no sweets which I consider very injurious to the voice. There is another seemingly BlnMl, but really important, point which I should like to im. press on would-be public That is the habit of a.lwaps breathing through the nostrils, a habit which protects the voice when one is walking out in windy weather or on a damp day. Singers should avoid speaking as nmch as possible when in the open air. and team to sleep at night with their moutSis closed. Sleep- ing with the moath open often causes hoarse- new. For my part I find I have always something to learn, and no lyric artist oan ever be said to complete her studies while before the pebiic. Patti, Albani, and all the distinguished singers are constantly re-studying their music, and 4tey will frequently rehearse with some espszt musician with a view to still further improving their rendering of some work or other. I haszn known Patti try a. simple English batiad MØ about twenty times before she would venturers J sing it in public. Yonng begifjoerg are oftes heard to declare, on the other hand, that tibej are letter-perfect and do not reqerire rehear sals, often taking offence when well-meant ad vice is given them. ? It is quite a mistake te suppose, that a euaggsi < should be sparing in her diet. I have refcuTeo to my early dinner cm singing days, bat I ought { to say frankly that after the opera 1 usually eat a much more hearty supper. A singer ■ must always exercise discretion, however, in hd*- x&feses. d&i yo*U sins, sauces and pickles should be amided.. Mutton and beef are the best meats, but they should be eaten boiled or broiled; fish, game, and vegetables can, I have found, also be eaten with safety. But good fruit forms the best of all foods for the singer, as claret is, I con- sider, the best drink. I have found a pound of grapes the finest possible tonic for the vocal cords.
FRONTIER INCIDENT.
FRONTIER INCIDENT. A Skirmish Between Russian Dragoons and Prussian Uhlans. A Renter's telegram from Moscow on Mondaj says :—A sensational story has been current in military circles for some days past. A squadron of Russian Draeoons, lately passing aleng the Russo-German frontier line, observed a. body of Prussian Uhlans on the other side firing at a frontier post, which they were using as a target. Owing to the fact tbat-the post bore the Russian Imperial arms the commander of the Russian squadron sent word to the officer in command of the Uhlans requesting him to stop the practice. The Prussians, hewever, continued firing, and the Russians, losing patience, fell upon them. A skirmish followed, in which several men were killed on both sides, and .11) the Uhlans fell back, the Russians pursuing them for some distance in Prussian territory.

Mr. Justice O'Biien said he hoped that if any crime was committed in Clare by the next assizes some other judge would come and try it, because, while 117 cases had been reported to the police since the last assizes, the net result of the present assizes in Ennis was that of all the persons five had been tried, and one person tried on a charge of wounding was found guilty of common assault and in every other case the jury had disagreed.
