International Matches. THE SCOTCH AND IRISH TEAMS PICKED. "Welsh Athlete's" Notes on Saturday's Sport With Comments on Newport's Victory. The fact that Scotland, like England, have adopted the four three-quarter system of backs will not be received with any amount of sur- prise. Beyond any question of doubt has it been proved that it is the system of the future, anG it has only been old-fashioned prejudices that have prevented the other countries adopt- ing it before. Ireland, who are with Scotland in the matter of being islow in accepting changes, have also come over to our way of think- ing, and on Saturday the team chosen te meet England has, it will be seen, the Welsh forma- tion of backs. After all, however, there is little change in this, for whenever we have met the teams of neighbouring countries the fourth man has invariably been put out. It is satisfac- tory to see, however, that a system which has had so many traducers amongst the old school- but which we in Wales have proved, beyond doubt, to be the correct one—has, at last, come to be acknowledged as such even by countries who possess magnificent forwards with exceptional abilities in the way of forward play, and who have, hitherto, been looked upon as having equal chances with their backs of scoring. # # Looking at the Scottish team chosen to meet us at Newport, it will be seen that, out of the fifteen, no less than nine were members of the team that Wales met and defeated at Edinburgh last year. Seven out of the eight forwards now seleoted then figured in the pack, and re- membering how those forwards played last year, we have got all we can do to hold oiir own with them, let alone beat them. I have a very clear recollection of how they performed a twelve- month ago. With the nine men in the pack they were constantly beating the Welsh eight, and even after we had scored twice, and the fourth man had been brought out, the Scotsmen always held their own in the tight scrummages, while in the open they were decidedly superior, their footwork being exceedingly fine. One other point I have not forgotten is that they are remarably clever in screwing the scrum- mages. With the exception of Menzies, eight of the forwards have previously represented their conntry, and each holds the reputation of being a thoroughly sound hard-working scrummager. # fI: Simpson, who partners Wotherspoon at half- back, is reported as having shown considerable cleverness in the trial games, but Wotherspoon must have improved a lot since last year to be as smart as he is given credit for being. The pair are the same that did go well against Eng- land at Leeds last year. If, however, Simpson is no cleverer than Wotherspoon I don't think the Weigh pair will have much the worst of it. Certainly they have not a pair of the class of Wells and Taylor to meet. I Where Scotland lost last year was in the backs, neither of whom showed form above the ordinary. If, however, reputation goes for any- thing, the four selected a,re really tip-teppers. and whoever the Welsh four may be, they are sure to have a pretty warm time of it. Each ef the four men possess a large amount of individual cleverness and resource, but I doubt their ability to give a very capable exposition of the new system they are attempting. What the Welsh players have to remember is that the Scotsmen differ from us materially on the "held" question. Whilst they are upright they seldom cry "held," and stop the play to allow of a scrimmage being1 formed; it, therefore, behoves the Welshmen, when once they lay hands on an Qppouetftv.tgmake np mistakes, but Mve'him down by hook or by crook. >Of course, it is useless to compare the Scotch four with a probable Welsh four, so I shall leave the question of comparison until after Tuesday night, when the Welsh team will be picked. Rogerson, the full back, gains his cap for the first time, and is, to a great extent, an unknown quantity. If one compares the Cardiff-Newport form of a week ago, and, again, the match between Cardiff and Blackheath somp time back, the victory of Newport on Saturday is fairly in accordance with preconceived notions as to how the game at Rectory Field ought to end. Three tries to one does not by any means represent the game as it was, for after the first twenty minutes Newport bad won all along the line. They were better forward, half, three-quarter, and full back; moreover, they were setting a pace that the Heathens clearly had no liking1 for. As I said on Saturday, it was not a pretty g'ame. It was too scrambling to suit me, and the winging tactics adopted by the Heathens made matters worse, for Parfitt and Mat Hannen each had a coupli of men to look after them, and from the way these men dropped on the New- port pair whenever the ball came near them it was clearly evident that the Heathens had a wholesome dread of the ball getting to the New- port three-quarter line, and there was every reason for this, for the four were playing a fine game and whenever they got the bail, Thomas or Dauncey weuld be sure to get very near to the line before they were stopped. Both these men played a fine game, and it hardly seems I likely that the Welsh' committee can, in justice, leave Dauncey out of the team to meet Scotland. With the Newport man on the left and Pearson ] on the right, I think we should see two of the smartest wings that have represented Wales for years. ] Whatever may be the strength of the backs, Blackheath are always looked upon as certain to provide some smart forward play. They did not do so on Saturday. The eight scrummaged fairly well for about fifteen minutes. Then the wingers began to appear, after which they got the ball only on rare occasions. In the loose work they were a bit clever, and, especially at the outset, tackled vigorously, but in the latter game Newport, when onoe they started, were always on top. I suppose the Heathen forwards are really the pick of the South, and this being so, there is no question to my mind of the wisdom of the English Union in giving the preference to the Northern sorummagers. The Yotkshiremen do scrummage without a doubt. I am afraid that very few of the Blackheath men do. I don't think that in the Blackheath eight there was a man to equal Hannen, who, many say, is gone off. If he is, I would like to see a few other Welsh forwards "go off." After Hannen I should say Pook, Bewley, and Graham were a bit better than any three on the other side. Bowley showed a good deal of cleverness at the line-out, and on the occasion that Hannen got iway and gave Groves the try Bowley gave the ball to Hannen at the outset. #* There was a good deal of interest shown by the Newportonians on Saturday evening in the result )f the Cardiff-Penarth game. I anticipated, in my notes of Saturday, that it would be no soft map" for the Cardiffiane, for Penarth, we all have to recognise, have come DTI a wonderful lot of late. In fact, there is not a team in South Wales which has shown more consistent form this year than the Seasiders. The club has been fortunate in keep- ing its players together, with the result that the combination is now better than ever it has been. The result is that Ponarth, so far, has a splendid record, and the draw with Cardiff grave the greatest satisfaction to the team's supporters, a large number of whom witnessed tho match. The ground was in such a wretched condition, says a colleague who saw the match, that accurate passing was almost impossible but it was the same for both, and if the conditions had been different my friend questions very much whether Cardiff would have done better. The Penarth backs play well together, and they possess the merit of being able to score when opportunities pre- sent themselves. Besides, the forwards got the ball more frequently than their opponents, and the half-backs know how to get it away when it is heeled out to them. # If Cardiff thought that they had an easy 3pntract o& hand they yere quickly undeceive/, In the first half they had to play all they knew to keep out the Seasiders, and in the second half they failed completely to break through the defence. I do not remember that Cardiff has ever before failed to beat Penarth, and the result on Saturday was disappointing to the supporters of the blue and black. Davies, the Harlequins back, played, I am told, a sterling game throughout. Speaking of Davies, it looks as if the com mittee of the Cardiff Club have committed a grave indiscretion in playing the Harlequin man before the necessary transfer had been obtained, Bven, in fact, playing him in the face of a tele- jrram from the secretary of the Welsh Bugby Unioa« Dointme; out that Davies's transfer had, I On the Rhymney. Is this a fast train, Guard P It is, Sir." "Then I'll get out and see what ifs made fast to." I been refused. Of course, facts have yet to come out, but from tlie few before us I can only imagine that the Cardiff Club are in a very serious predicament, and as the matter has already been brought before the Welsh Union Committee, we may prepare ourselves for another football inquiry. Of course, a great deal will depend on the statements put forward by each side, but all the same, according the Welsh transfer laws the Cardiff Club have committed as offence which will necessitate an inquiry. » The law directly applying reads :—" When- ever a player transfers his membership from one club to another such transfer shall be legal if (a) it be m%,ie with tbe sanction, previously ob- tained, of both clubs concerned, (b) In case the sanction of one club be withheld the player in question, or the club to which he proposes to transfer his membership, may apply to the Welsh Union Committee, whose sanction shall render the transfer legal." The one question, independently of these laws, that suggests itself to me is. have the Cardiff Club done right in playing Davies without a transfer, and in face of the telegram from the secretary of the Welsh Rugby Union ? EitherjPontypridd havedeteriorated or Llanelly have come on a lot. It was only a week or two back that up at Pontypridd the tin-platers had all their work cut out to win, the victory only being achieved by a try to nil. It is, of course, i pi possible to suggest that the fact of playing on their own ground made all the difference in that score and the one attained by Llanelly on Satur- day, so we can only think that the little storm in a teapot" which occurred in the Western town the other day has had an inspiring effect on the scarlet runners. I would suggest to my scarlet friends that they continue their little flare-ups at, say, monthly intervals. « # Club form was better bOLlie out in the case of Swansea v. Neath. On the previous occasion that these teann met victory rested with the all whites by a single try only. On Saturday it was a drop goal, to nil victory, so that, we assume, the capabilies of these teams are much the same as t hey were some weeks ago Swansea seem to have had the best of the game. and on one or two occasions to have had very hard luck in not scoring. Each team, in turn, pressed with the wind, but all round it appears from the report as if Swansea had about the worst of the luck. Coke, I am pleased to see, is going stroag on the left wing again. I trust, the old knee ailment will not crop up again. < Scotland v. Wales.

A GLAMORGAN HERO
A GLAMORGAN HERO Gone to His Last Rest in His Eightieth Year. At the small burial ground attached to the Wick Baptist Chapel on Friday last were in- terred the remains of Rees Lougher, aged about 80 years, who died in the Angelton Asylum, Bridffend. About 35 years ago a French collier was totally wrecked off the Nash Coast. The crew, numbering eight, gave the usual signals of distress, but it was impossible to get at them. No boats were at hand. A few spectators stood on the desolate coast alid all were in hopeless despair, when Rees Lougher, a man of fine physique, plunged into the angry sea, and rescued the whole of the crew one by one, and quite unaided. The Royal Humane Society and other societies worthily acknow- ledged the heroio deed of the Welsh farmer. A letter from the Emperor of France was received by Lougher and a gold medal. Honours were heaped upon the hero. In some way or other his mind became affected, and on August 17, 1870, he was taken to the Bridgend Asylum. There were eight brothers and sisters, Rees Lougher being the oldest, and strangvj to say he survived them all-

Ii'''' WELSH SECRET SOCIETIES
Ii' WELSH SECRET SOCIETIES To Create Rupture Between Capital and Labour. [FROM A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] There is a certain fascination to the ordinary mind about secret societies, mysterious signs unknown only to the initiated, meetings held with closed doors, and admission by peculiar knocks and closest scrutiny. This has given a charm to most of the friendly societies, and the "grip,' which is a legacy from the Greek, has in it more than the general observer is aware. During the Chartist days, when we were within measurable distance of a civil war that in certain localities would have been as sanguinary as that of the Commonwealth, there were many of these secret societies held amongst the hills- There was scarcely a place, in fact, between Merthyr and Tredepr where one was not to be found, and all carried on by a bond of solemn compact and protected by signs and pass- words. One at Merthyr was under the direction of men of keen intellect and, fortunately, far- seeing views, who tried to impress the necessity of moral suasion instead of physical effort in obtaining the redress of alleged wrongs. But for this the fearless ironworkers and colliers would have been precipitated into a conflict. As it was, they were on the brink of doing so, and, as there were spies in the camp and the "justices" were aware of every step, such a course could have had but one melancholy ending. Next to the secret societies of those days came the Fenian epoch, when secret lodges were held at Dowlais and other places, and drilling in the hollows amongst the hills was of nightly occurrence. Old farmers of that time could tell a tale of a distant murmur as of a crowd, of the clash of steel, and of the stealthy march by,liof the conspirators. We are reprinded of these things by a statement made from unquestioned sources that the ordinary mind still clings to the pleasing novelty of secrecy, and that in a certain part, and a very important one, of the oolliery districts secret societies in existence before last August, and which had something to do in precipitating a conflict which most reasonable men condemned, are in existence and in action now! These secret societies have nothing to do with these open Parliaments of the collier where, with properly elected representatives and quali- fled chairman, a meeting discusses the advisability or not of correcting the sliding- scale, or the question of proper payment for timbering, or as to whether the vein of coal for which a certain payment is made is not in reality another vein. The secret societies have nothing to do with these things, and the care with which they shroud their proceedings lead one to believe that the principal aim is to bring about a rupture between capital and labour for personal benefit. To all this sort of thing, we aN assured by the same authority, the great mass of the colliers of South Wales and Monmouthshire are strongly opposed, but he would have this opposition shown by earnest and thoughtful action in exposing and correcting, rather than they should look on patiently for the bomb to ex- plode Let them advocate free discussion in open air or hall, but denounce all secret conclaves. There was a time, we are reminded, when the man who tampered with his lamp or offended against several of the local or Imperial clauses of legislative enactment was screened by his fellow-worker, who shrank from being a spy or from being called a sneak. But when life was imperilled by such concealment reticence was decided to be an injustice to the others, and for a long time the great body of the colliers have been active in looking after and helping to punish those who break the laws. Similarly, in a moral way, their course now is quite as clear—advocate the freest discussion, but tole- rate no secret bands of plotters of mischief.
PRESS BENEFIT SOCIETY.
PRESS BENEFIT SOCIETY. Medical Officer ^Horder Banquets the Committee. On Saturday evening Dr. T. Garrett Horder; the Cardiff medical officer to the Press Benefit and Superannuation Society for South Wales and Monmouthshire, gave a dinner at Barry's Hotel, Cardiff, to the executive committee of the society. The host occupied the ohair, and Mr. W. E. Morgan (secretary) the vice- chair.—After the loyal toasts had been drunk, the Chairman proposed Sucgess to the Society."—Mr. Morgan, in responding, stated that the society had been of great benefit to its members, who now numbered nearly 100, by inculcating habits of thrift. The society possessed a capital of JB1,800, and during its existence JB800 had been paid to representa- tives of deceased members, in sick pay, and to members who had through removal to distant parts of the country or other unavoidable causes withdrawn. Seveml of the members had, with its assistance, become the owners of the houses in which they resided. The committee had been fortunate also in being able to invest their capital in safe securities which returned 5 per cent, interest.—Mr. E. H. ("rafter pro- posed the health of the host (Dr. Horder), and referred to the uniform courtesy which he always extended to members who had occasion to ask his professional assistance.—The Chair- man, in responding, stated that he felt that a bond of sympathy existed between himself and the society, and when any of the members came to him be treated them a-; private patients.—An adjournment then took place to another room, where the remainder of the evening was spent in a most harmonious manner.

A Peep at Great People.
A Peep at Great People. + THE CURTAIN OF HIGH LIFE LIFTED. Royalties Favour Card Games and the Stakes for which They Play. It is a great mistake to imagine that Wo Emperor of Germany objects to card playing, notwithstanding all his various decrees and odicts, menacing those who indulged therein with his most severe displeasure. To what he is opposed is the high stakes, and were his officers willing to conform themselves to his notions with regard to the amount needed to furnish a game with the necessary excitement we should probably never hear anything more about his antagonism to the card-table. That such is the case is shown by the fact that, after a dinner which brought the end to a great pheasant shoot, organised by Prince Lichnowsky in his honour at Kuchelna, his Majesty spent the entire even- ing playing cards with Prince Hatzfeidt and his host. The game was that German one called "skat," and the points were for a German pfennig. The Emperor was the principal loser, having had poor hands dealt to him all evening, and when he arose from the table he was out exactly threepence. The King of Saxony is exceedingly fond of the same game, which he is accustomed to play every night after dinner, his stakes, like these of the Emperor of Germany, never exceeding one penny. It would be rather amusing to watch the face of the Prince of Wales were such truly regal stakes as these proposed to him. The only time (says a writer in an American paper) that I can ever recollect him to have played for less than a guinea was at Hughenden, when on a visit to the Earl of Beaconsfield. Bernal Osborne, father of the Duchess of St. Albans and of Lady Blake of Jamaica, was one of the party when the Prince pro- posed a game of whist, with five-guinea points. Lord Beaconsfield was a poor man, obliged to count every penny, and Bernal Osborne caught eight of the manner in which his face fell when the proposal wai made. Grasping the situation and remem. bering that Lord Beaconsfield had but a few weeks previously added the imperial crown of India to the British regalia by causing Queen Victoria to be proclaimed as Empress of India, he turned to the prince and remarkedr Would it not be more appropriate, sir, to piaf for crown stakes F" The Prince caught on at once, made a flattering reference to the old, Premier, and the points played for were, as suggested, five shillings instead of five guineas. The gieatest royal gambler on record was the ill-fated Queen Marie Antoinette of Franco, much of whose unpopularity and sorrow origi- nated in her passion for high play. It was this that led her to admit not only to her court, but also to her table, parvenus of doubtful reputa- tion and antecedents whose only merit in her eyes was that they were rich and willing to lose.
A FOOTBALL QUARREL. j
A FOOTBALL QUARREL. j Said the Cardiff Club Have Violated the Transfer RtHe. We ue informed that tho VV elsh p" Union Committee will have before them on Tuesday the question of a breach of the Welsh Rugby Union transfer laws. It appears that W. Davies, the full back of the Harlequins Football Club, played for the Cardiff F.C. with- out first having obtained the necessary transfer. Davies applied to the Harlequins secretary for. his transfer to Cardiff, but the latter refused the same until his committee had been con- sulted. Mr. Gwynn (secretary of the Welsh Union) was then communicated with by the Harlequins, and we understand that he wired to the Cardiff Club, pointing out that the tranter ol the player in question had not been granted. WHAT THE CARDIFF CLUB THINK. In the course of an interview on the subject with a Western Mail representative on Sunday night, a prominent member of the Cardiff Foot- ball Club stated that the club he represented was the premier club in the town, and had a right to enlist the services of any member of the junior organisations that might proffer his ser- vices, and, in his opinion, the transfer rules did not apply to distinct junior clubs in the town. D. W. Evans, the Cardiff fnil-back, who had signified his intention to play in the match against Penarth on Saturday and was duly advertised in the local press to play, on Saturday morning intimated that he was unable to do so. He was not the only one, for at the last moment Dobson and Ramsey did not turn up. Having filled up the places of the last -'named, the club had the greatest difficulty in securing a substitute for Evans at full back. Davies, of the Harlequins, happened to be in the Angel Hotel a few minutes before the match started, and was asked to plav and accepted the posi- tion. It is well known that Davies has been desirous of doing duty for the Cardiff Club for some time, and had before this written to Mr. A. J. Davies, the secretary of the Harlequins, for hie transfer, which he has not yet received. Apart from these considerations, the committee- man stated that Davies really played as a sub- gtitute on Saturday. Referring to the transfer rules as obtaining amongst the various town clubs, he instanced the case of Smith- son, who at the time was a member of the Cardiff Football Club, and on the day was down to play for the second fifteea, but did not turn up. Later on it was found that he had been assisting the Harlequins against Bristol. The committeeman had no idea that the matter was to be fought out, and if anything more was heard of it the subject would be thrashed out at the meeting of the Welsh Union on Tuesday.
FIRE AT CARDIFF.
FIRE AT CARDIFF. A Paraffin Lamp Explodes and Causes Flames. v At two o'clock on Sunday morning Police con- stable Phelps, while on duty in Penarth-road, Cardiff, hearing cries, went to No. 174, Penarth, road, where he found the occupier, Mr. James Sweeney, standing on the sill of the front bed- room upstairs shouting for assistance. Police- constable Phelps and Acting-sergeant Davies thereupon broke open the front door and found the place full of smoke. Proceeding upstairs, the officers discovered Mrs. Sweeney lying on the bed in a dazed condition, and immediately carried her to an apartment downstairs, ani after the window had been opened and fresh ai admitted she speedily recovered. In the mean time it was found that the outbreak was caused by the explosion of a parffin lamp which in- cautiously had been left burning on the kitchen table when Mr. and Mrs. Sweeney retired to bed. The burning liquid set fire to a table and some chairs, but with a few buckets of water the fire was extinguished, the damage done being slight. The reel from the Grange town Police-station, in charge of Sergeant Ferris, arrived shortly after the alarm had been give*, but it was found unnecessary to use it.
CARRIAGE ACCIDENT.
CARRIAGE ACCIDENT. Cardiff People Have Narrow Escapes from Death. On Sunday afternoon, a singular carriage accident occurred at Blackweir, near Cardiff. It appears Mr. Larocus, of 13, Ruperra-street, Docks, accompanied by his wife and a friend, had been out for a drive in a dog-cart, and were returning home, wh&n the animal took fright near Whitchurch, a-tid bolted at a ter- rific pace in the direction of Cardiff. On reaching Blaekweir the affrighted animal dashed against, the dwarf wall of No. 67, Vachell's terrace, and fell over into the den, with the result that both shafts of the vehicle were snapped, aid, the vehicle over- turning, the occupants were thrown out on to the roadway, but, strange to say, they sus. tail led no injury. The trap was oompleiely wrecked, and the horse was badly cut about the legs and body. •
