International Matches. f 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, and 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 slow in accepting changes, have also come over to our way of think- ing, and on Saturday the team chosen to 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. Locking 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 ef the eight forwards now selected then figured in the pack, and re- membering' hew those forwards played last year, we have got all we can de to hold our 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 bad 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 country, and each holds the reputation of being a thoroughly sound hard-working serummager. 'I/< Simpson, who partners Wotherspoon at half- back, is reported as having shown considerable cleverness in the trial games, but Wotbef spoon 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 so well against Eng- land at Leeds last year. If, however, Simpson is no cleverer than Wotherspoon I don't think the Welsh pair will have much the worst of it. Certainly they have not a pair of the class of Wells and Taylor to meet. # Where Scotland lost last year was in the backs, neither of whom showed forai above the ordinary. If, however, reputation goes for any- thing, the four selected are really tip-toppers, and whoever the Welsh four may be, they are sure to have a pretty warm time of it. Each of 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 being farmed; it, therefore, tW, 'Velshmen, when oi;P. they Jay hwnds on an c. pone.nt. to make no mistakes, but have him dewn by hook or by crook. Of course, it is aseless 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 f«U 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 eome 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 had won all along the line. They were better forward, half, three-quarter, and full back; moreover, they were setting a paoe that the Heathens clearly bad no liking for. As I said on Saturday, it was not a pretty game. 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 conpl j of men to look after them, and from the way these men dropped on the N ew- port pair whenever the ball came near them it was clearly evident that the Heathens ha.d 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 ball, Thomas or Dauncey would be sure to get very near to the line before they were stopped. Both these men played a fine game, and it hardly seems 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 upen 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 eutset, tackled vigorously, but in the latter game Newport, when once 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 scruramagers. The Yorkshiremen do scrummage without a doubt. I am afraid that very few of the Bla-ckheath men do. I don't think that in the Blackheath eight there was a man to equal Ha.nnen, who, many say, is gone oN. If he is, I would like to see a few other Welsh forwards "go off." After Hannen I should say Pook, Bowley, and Graham were a bit better than any three on the other side. Bowley showed a good deal of cleverness at the liuc-ftut, and on the occasion that Hannen got away 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 tbe result of the Cardilf-Penarth game. I anticipated, in my notes of Saturday, that it would be no soft snap" for the Cardiffians, for Penarth, we all have 00 recognise, have come on 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 dnb 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 Penarth, so far, has a splendid record. and the draw with Cardiff gave the greatest satisfaction to the team's supporters, a lwrge number of whom witnessed the match. The ground was in such a wretched condition, says a colleagueAvho saw the match, that accurate passing v/afe 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 bail more frequently than their opponents, and the half-baoks know how to get it away when it is heeled out to them. # # If Cardiff thought that they had an easy contract on hand they were quickly undeceivec. In the frst 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. « L Speaking of Davies, it looks as if the com mittec of the Cardiff Club have committed a grave indiscretion in playing the Harlequin man before the necessary transfer had been obtained, even, in fact, playing him in the face of a tele- gram from tho secretary of the Welsh Rugby Union, pointing out that Davies's transfer had I On the Rhymney. "Is this a fast train, Guard?" "It is, Sir." "Then I'll get out and see what it's made fast to." been refused. Of course, facts ha.ve yet to come out, but from the 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 aU the same, according the Welsh transfer laws the Cardiff Club havs committed an offence v/bfoh will necessitate an inquiry. The law directly applying reads Wben- ever a player transfers V's mef-fcership from one club to another such tre nsf'er phall be legal if (a) it be made with the sanction, previously ob- tained, of both clubs coi oerned. (b) In case the sanction of one club be withheld the player in tained, of both clubs coi oerned. (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 leg.I." The one question, independently of these laws, that suggests itself to me is, have the Cardiff Club done right in playing Davies wirhcut a. transfer, and in face of the telegram from the secretary of the Welsh Rugby Union ? EitheriPontypridd have deteriorated 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, impossible 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, 80 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 out in the case of Swansea v. Neath. On the previous occasion that these team* met victory rested with the all whites by a single try only. On Saturday it wa.s 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 bad the best of the game, and on one or two occasions to have had very ha.rd luck in not scoring. Eaoh team, in turn, pressed with the wind, but all round it appears from the report a.s if Swansea had about the worst of the luck. Coke, I am pleased to see, is going strong 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 Leugher, a2"ed about 80 years, who died in the Angelton Asylum, Bridgend. About 35 years ago a French collier was totally wrecked off the Na-sh Coast. The crew, numbering eight, gave the usati signals of distress, but it wa.s impossible to get at them. No boats wore a.t hand. A few spectators stood on the desolate coa-t and all were in hopeless despair, When Rees Loug'her, a mart 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 Aini other softietids Worthily acknow- ledged the heroic deed of the Welsh-farmer. A letter from the Emperor of Franco was received by Lougher aild a gold niedal. 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 Bridg-end Asylum.

WELSH SECRET SOCIETIES |
WELSH SECRET SOCIETIES | To Create Rupture Between Capital and Labour. LFROM 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 Tredegar 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 atep, such a course could have had but one melancholy ending. Next to the secret societies of these days came the Fenian epoch, when secret ledges were held at Dowlais and other places, and drilling in the hollows amongst the hills was of nightly occurrence. Old farmers of that time ceuld tell a tale of a distant murmur as of a crowd, j of the clash of steel, and of the stealthy march by of the conspirators. We are reminded of these things by a statement ma.de from unquestiened 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 colliery 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- fied 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 are 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 chair, and Mr. W. K. Morgan (secretary) the chair.—After the loyal toasts had been drunk, the Chairman proposed Success 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 £ 1,800. and during its existence £ 800 had been paid to representa- tives of deceased members, in sick pnv. and to members who had through removal to distant parts of the country or other unavoidable causes withdrawn. Several of the members bad, 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 swuriti0* which returned 5 per cent, interest.—Mr. E. H.

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 th. Emperor of Germany objects to card playing notwithstanding all his various decrees ami edicts, menacing those who indulged thereir with his most severe displeasure. To what h< is opposed is the high stakes, and were his officers willing to conform tkewselvo* to his notions with regard to the amount needed to furnish a game witlr the necessary excitement we should probably never hear anything more about his antagonist* to the card-table. That such is the caae it shown by the fact that, after a dinner whiob brought the end to a. great pheasant shoofc organised by Prince Lichnowsky in hie honom at Kuehelna, his Majesty spent the entire even- ing playing cards with Prince Hatzfeldt and his host. The game was that German one called "skat," and the points were for » German pfennig. IThe Emperor was tha 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 those ef the Emperor of Germany, never exceeding 1 oito penny. It would he 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 on 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. Albanr and of Lady Blake of Jamaica, waj 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 sight of the manner i. which his face fell when the proposal was made. Grasping the situation and remem- bering that Lord Beaoonsfield had but a few weeks previously added the imperial crown of India to the British regalia by causiag Queen Victoria to be proclaimed as Empress oj India, he turned to the prince and remarked, Weuld it not be more appropriate, sir, to play for crown stakes ?" The Prince caught on at once, made a flattering reference te the old Premier, and the points 'played for were, an suggested, five shillings instead ef five guineas. The greatest royal gambler on record was th* ill-fated Queen Marie Antoinette of France, much of whose unpopularity and sorrow origi- nated in her passion for high play. It was this tha.t 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 loae-
A FOOTBALL QUARREL. "
JI A FOOTBALL QUARREL. Said the Cardiff Club Hav-e Violated the Transfer Rule. We are informed that the Welsh Rugby Union Committee will have before them an 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 of 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 MaiP 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 orga-nisations 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 full-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 be 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 bad the greatest difficulty in securing a substitute for Evans at full back. Davies, 0( the Harlequins, happened to be in the Angei\ Hotel a few minutes before the match started and was asked to play and accepted the posi tion. It is well known that Davies has beej desirous of doing duty for the Cardiff. Clul for some time, and had before this written to Mrt A. J. Davies, the secretary of the Harlequins, for his transfer, which he has not yet received. Apart from these considerations, the committee- man stated that Davies really played as a sub- stitute on Saturday. Referring to the transfer rules as obtaining amongst the various towa elubs, he instanced the case of Smith- son, who at the time was a member of the Cardiff Football Club, and on tho day was down to play for the second fifteen, but did not turn up. Later on it was found thai he had been assisting the Harlequins againiiv Bristol. The committeeman had no idea that the matter was to be fought out, and if anything more was heard of it the subject woi be thrashed out at the meeting of the We: Union on Tuesday.
FIRE AT CARDIFF.
FIRE AT CARDIFF. A Paraffin Lamp Explodes and Causes Flames. 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. Jones 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, and after the window bad been opened and fresh air admitted she speedily recovered. In the mean- time it was found that the outbreak was caused: by the explosion of a parffiu lamp which in- cautiously had been left burning 011 the kitchen table when Mr. a.ud Mrs. Sweeney retired to bed. The burning liquid set fire to a table and some chairs, but with a few buckets ef water the lire was extinguished, the damage dene being slight. The reel from the Grangetown Police-station, in charge of Sergeant Ferris, arrived shortly alter the alarm had been given, but it was found unnecessary to use it.
CARRIAGE ACCIDENT.
CARRIAGE ACCIDENT. Cardiff People Have Narrow Escape- from Death. On Sunday afternoon; a singular carriage accident occurred at lilackweir. near Cardiff. It appears Mr. Laroew;, of 13, Ruperra-street, Docks, accompanied by his wife and a friend, had lmen out for a drive in a dog-cart, stud were returning home, when the. animal took fright near Whitohurch. and bolted at a ter- rific pace in the direction of Cardiff. Oi reaching Biaokweir the affrighted ammafe. dashed against the dwarf wall of No. 6?, Vachell's terrace, and fell over into the gar- den, with the result that both shafts of the vehicle were snapped, and, the vehicle over- turning, the o<x?upants were thrown out on to tho roadway, but, straaige to say, they sus- tained no injury.
