I Football Competition. THERE ARE TWO WtMHERS. Of THE GUINEA PRIZE. Gossip About the Last I rrternatfonal^ Match and the Team Newport have Selected to Meet Cardiff on Saturday. The Express" football competition has brought in no less than 3.864 ooupooe. Strange to say, out of all these only five ha.ve managed to give the names of the five winning clubs, although dose on 2,000 prophesied the winners within one. The greatest stumbling-Hock was the Pontypridd v. Treorky match, in which quite 75 per cent, gave Pontypridd to win.j Next to that came the Morriston—Llaa»eHy-1 matoh, 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 Pena.rth. 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 theee prophecies might have been the other way about. All said and done, it is somewhat surprisiDg that the number who correctly ga.ve the five winning olubs should have been so small ae -13 per oeitt. of the competitors. I can under- stand the Pontypridd team being so persis- tently given, but, taking a line through Swan- sea, Morriston and LlaatelJy were very near each other. and the persistency with which readers plumped for LI smelly is, therefore, the more remarkable. To decide between the two wiauers was a. delicate taek. On the first match -Cardiff v. Swansea—matters are certainly even, eaoh competitor scoring a point. In the Newport—Bradford match Davies's prediction M certainly the best, and he soores a point ahead. Morriston and Lkwielly see both men correct with a. point each. The Penarth predic- tÎ<m6 of each oome 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 Pemy- 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: — WINNER. Loses. "»»• wc5T CO W e. T. £ o. T. |3 1- Cardiff T.

JENKINS, 26, KHcattan-st., East Moors, Cardiff. The other three competitors who gave the names of the five winning clubs are:—R. T. Goddard, 3, Wyndham-street, Cardiff; H. Thomas, 55 Elm-street, Cardiff; and R. Roberta, 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 naiturally thouglat Penarth a "soft snap." Because they didn't turn out such, the Bristoliahs 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 well- drilled. Time after time they got the ball in their lines from serum-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 Willoocks, 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 a 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 be: -Badr, C. J. Thomas three- quarter-backs, W. G. James, A. J. Gould, A. W. Boucher, and LI. Thomas; haAf-backe, 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- combe. 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 Kd in preference to Alan Morgan, of Pontypridd, who, I will say is, to my fancy, the'beet full back in Wales, barring Tommy England, to whom, of course, we must give the preference. M'Cuteheon 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 beaA Ire- land, Fitogerald and Pearson will have to stew 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 being very noticeable. Half- back I think we will hold our own—that is, if Parfitt works the scrum and let Sweet-Escott 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 b# bea,tan.-Yours, &c., "WELSHMAN." "The Bard" in the "Athletic News" says that the effusions of some of the South Wales pressmen over the Association International instch 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 anything like an adequate manner. The gate tor this match, by the way, is said to have only amounted te j6150. I cannot under- stand this at all, for the grand stand, which alone represents £ 80, was packod, 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 OIl the nod somehow or other. WELSH ATHLETE.

BEN DAVIES IN BERLIN. He Gets an Enthusiastic Praise fram the German Press. Mr. Ben Davies has just returned from a very successful tour in Germany, and his recep- tion there (says the "Musicalllerald") 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, sang in Berlin, Leipzig, Ham- burg, Stuttgart, Frankfort, and Dusseldorf. We translate the "Berliner Tagblatt'e" opinion on his performances :—"Rumour has onw more misled the art-loving public, for it has once misled the art-loving public, for it has once more spoken truly. The fame of Ben Davies was trumpeted in all tones, and lo! lie was not exaggerated. Bea 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 ,eldoill aie to be found together—Voice, School, and Taste. 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-pong and the bel canto, The technic of the singer is faultless in every aspect.; tone-attack and tone-building are olassical; the voice does not sound palatey or thin; no wavering intonation and no tremolo offend the ear. How seldom does the artist miderstand how to hold out the tones and to bind thorn with a legitimate portamento! miderstand how to hold out the tonet; 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 tiling is that Ben Davies only employs the means with which nature has en- dowed him and his great artistic dexterity ae a. true artist, and not to win a triumph by cheap effects." The ''Borsen-Courier," the "Neueste Naohriohten," and the "Fremden- bla.tt," whose 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, Mr. Davies sang in four languages—English, French, German, and Italian—and that his pronunciation was equally pure in every case. The "Fremdmblatt" says:—"I could have wished for thp presence of nauy singers in order that they might have learnt how a heaven- gifted singer husbands his breath and parts with it after a long time Albkm'* artist achieved a great triumph." Mr. Ben 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. Committee Preparing for the 1395 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 quite willing that a work of his should lie performed at Cardiff if it could be got ready m time. The secretary was requested to reply, thanking Dr. Stanford and expressing the desire of the committee to perform such a work.—It v.ras announced that over £ 1,100 had already been guaranteed, and thereuixsi the committee de- cided to (»11 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.

MADAME PATTI. An Unpleasant Incident at a Montreal Concert. A special telegram from New York on Tues- day isays:-At the conclusion of Madame Pat £ i's concert at Montreal last night the orchestra. failed to play "God Save the Queen." Lord Aberdeen, who was present with the countess, immediately rose and sang the open- ing line, the audience taking up the anthem at once. The manager's explanation is that the orchestra. were Americans. The incident has caused much indignation.

BALLAD-S!NGING COMPETITION. On Tnesday evening- the Cardiff Panopticon was filled at an early henr with an audience who were attracted thither by the singing competi- tion which had been arranged by IHr. Stoll. Four Indies had signified their intention of com- peting, and althongh the number was small the cfnalit-v of the singing was decidedly goad. Miss Agnes Clark secured the highest number of votes and the prize fer a very sweet render- ing of the old ballad. "Mona," and Miss Holmes. witb "Tit-for-Tat," came second, and Misa Carrie Mander a good third with Kffiarney." Mr. Stoll is to be congratulated on the success whi#h has attended this novel addition to the weelly programme.

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 siaads was under discuesien.—Mr. Barker, chairman of the industrial committee, said they bad had protracted i gotiatkma with Cardiff as to the purchase of the building, but nothing definite had been agreed to. The negotiations were- still on, and he should ask the council to extend the time for removing the structure. The 25th of March was the time agreed on to dear the site, but he should ask the council to extend the period another two months.—After some discussion, the extension ef time was agreed to. ■WWB—vummaw»tmmmmmm»

SIR JOHN GORST, MP. Is Coming to Cardiff to Deliver an Address on Labour.

We may mention tha.t Mr. J. M. Maele&n has been instrumental in induc- ing Sir John to pay a. visit t* Cardiff.

COMIC OPERA AT CARDIFF. Yeomen of the Guard at the Royal Last Evening. 11 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 Yeomen 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 bruta-lity of Wilfred Shadbolt (accentuated, per- haps, by Mr. Fred Billington's impressive imper- sonation) and his unhappy union to Phwbe MeryU always clash discordantly on sensative nerves. For the rest, both principals and eherua 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.

ROYAL WELSH LADIES' CHOIR. They Receive Congratulations from Lord Swansea. 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 cheer., expressed a hearty welcome to the choir on their return from America, where they had won the 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 bad attended her efforts, and trusted that the musical talent possessed by the members of the choir would descend to their children's children. (Load cheers.)

MISSING FROM MERTHYR. Police and Friends are Still Without a Clue to Kate Conway. No clue has yet been obtained as to the fate of Miss Katie Conway, of Balaclava House, Dowlais, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances on Saturday night, and, having regard to the tone of the note which she left behind, there is grave reason to fear that she has committed suicide by drowning. Miss Conway was a teacher at the Gellyfaelog Church Sunday School. aaQ. it is said that of late she has been subject to religious melancholia, and been occasionally very strange in her manner. The police description of her is as follows: — Age, 18; short and stoutish: auburn hair; dressed in grey cloak with cape.

For Preserving the Voice i r^r I I MARIE ROZE GIVES SOME VALUABLE HINTS. Tens How Voices Are Spoiled it Training and What She Has Found to Benefit her Most. j It the current number of "Woman" there f( Nt. ircteresiaug ariicie by Madame Marie ftoze on "How to Become a Singer." A girl (she: says) cannot ascertain if she has a really good voice before the age of sixteen. If she 14 resolved to make singing her career, she shoul^ then put herself in the care of a teacher wht. knows how to develop the voice without strain* ing- it. I have known many girte who were endowed by nature with fine voice? and <ira* roadie talent, and who might have had a suo* oessftil career if only they had begun ngbfc.' Through bad training their voices were strained and became cracked aDd metallic before they were 20 years of age. The serious and assi* duous ouMivation of a girl's voice should not be begun before the age of sixteen, and th-en only if she is strong and well. I always had the fortune to have very good teachers j ,y my first teacher was Grosset, of the Conserva- toire, who instructed me for three years; 1 studied Italian opera under Enrico Delia Ledia.¡ and French opera with Waftd. who also taughl Madame Christine Nilsson and Madame Tre belli. Another important thing is reat. A singei: should lead a very regular life. Madams Patti, who has preserved her voioe so well, takes the greatest care of herself, and goes to bed early Mi 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 voioe. I dine 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 i-s another seemingly small, but really' important, point which I should like to im- press on would-be public singers. Thai is the habit of always breathing through the noatriis, a habit which protects the voice when one is walking out in windy weather or on a rlamp day. Singers should avoid" speaking as mndb as possible when in the open aár, and Usmi to sleep at night with their mouths dosed. Sloep. ing with the mouth open often causes hoarse- ness. For my part I find I have always something to learn, and no lyric artist can ever be said to complete her studies while before the public, Patti, Albani, and all the distinguished singers are constantly re-studying their music, and they will frequently rehearse with some expert musician with a view to still further improving" their rendering of some work or other. I havw known Patti try a simple English ballad over about twenty times before she would venture to sing it in public. Young beginners are often s heaard to declare, on the other hand, tha.t they are letter-perfect and do not require rehear- sals, often taking offence when well-meaut ad- vice is given them. It is quite a mistake to suppose that a sixtgex should be sparing in her diet. I have, referred to my early dinner on singing days, but I ought to say frankly that after the opera I ustudUy eat a much more hearty SHpper. A singei must always exercise discretion. however, iff her dishes. Pastry, nuts, almonds, and mi- sim, sauces and jnckles should be avoided: Mutton aSkl beeF are tEe "test'meafe!ut tliey should be eajau bailed or broiled; fish, gsaae, and vegetables can, I have found, also be e»taa 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 goodt cords.

FRONTIER INCIDENT. A Skirmish Between Russian Dragoons 1 and Prussian Uhlans. A Renter's itHogemm from Moscow on Monday says •—A sensational story has been carreat in military eireles for some days past. A sqaadswi ef Russian Dragoons, lately passing along the Bttflgo-German frontier line, observed a. body of Prussian Uhlans on the other side Srisf at a frontier poet, whieh they were Hsing- as a target. Owing to th e fact, that the post bare the Russian Imperial arms the commander of the Hassiaa squadron sent word to the officer in command of the Uhlans requesting him to stop the practice. The Prussians, however, continued firing, and the Russians, losing patience, fell upon them. A skirmish followed, it whioh several men were killed on both sides, and finally the Uhlans fell back, the liussians pursuing them for some distance-in Prussian territory.

CRIME IN COUNTY CLARE Out of 117 Cases only five of th. Prisoners are Tried. At the conclusion of Clare Spring Assizes on Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Justice 0 Erien 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. The trial of criminal cases in County Clare ha.d resulted in an open contempt of the law.
