LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. A Life of Pleasure" at Cardiff Theatre Royal. What constitutes a. life of pleasure ? Accord- ing to the melodrama, of Sir Augustus Harris and the late Henry Pettitt, which was played before an limmense audience at- the C'a.rditf Theatre Royal on Monday evening, a life of pleasure varies with the individual tempera- ment. Sir Augustus Harris has provided a play that oanuot- fail to warm the heart of the playgoer as well as the patniot. Scene after scene and act after act, the interest grows and igrows, the enthusiasni swells and swells. The third scene is the most exciting from a dramatic point of view, but the "piece de resistance" is, of course, the great battle scene in Act IV., where "Tommy Atkins" exhibits his valour, and the Maxim gtUlS demonstrate their abilities with urumis-tal-eahle and deafening effect, The piece is excellently staged—in fact, the scenery is of such an elaborate character and took so long to set that the performance on Monday night was not over until after eleven o'clock. That an excellent company of artastes i« -«Q-. gaged in the production goes without saying. Miss Beaumont Collins is entitled to first men- tion for her excellent presentation of "Norah Hanlan." In the third act Miss Collins dis- played 'her abilities to great advantage, the wonderful force with which she showed con- tempt for the man who had brought about her destruction being particularly impressive. Mr. Charles Dodsworth brought out all the tracts of "Isadbr Scasi" with his usual consummate skill in the pourtrayal of Hebrew characters, and the "Captain Danby" of Mr. Walter M'Hwen was a splendid bit of acting. The remainder of the enormous cast of artistes ac- quitted themselves admirably, and the piece should go without a hitch. THE GRAND THEATRE, CARDIFF It wns rather a risky thing on the part of Mr. Sounes, the lessee mid manager of the Cardiff Grand Theatre, to produce this week Man to Ma.n," a drama of the most realistic "vL character ccrtairly, but one which 18 well known it: the town- Mr. Sounes. however, caters for all classes, and the pit and gallery tl.oroughly appreciated the change, judging by their hearty applause of the most sensational sctnos. Mr. Wm. Bourne has certainly brought together a splendid dramatic company, He himself filled i he part- of George Gordon admirably, and Mr. Arthur Rich is well to th-f front in the comedy character of Bill Bvrkley" (a convict). Miss Florence Rad- clyffe played the role allotted to her with feeling, and Miss Clarrie Aeli, as "Miss Lavima Dore (a spinster), proved herself quite equal to the occasion. The piece was capi- tally mounted, the railway coJI-sion being very effective. The drama was received with en- th siasm throughout. THE EMPIRES. NEWPORT. There are numerous troupes of performing dogs now before the public, but the clever tykes which Marvellc has brought to the New- P°r.fc Empire this week provide a performance which more than equals anything of its kind. The entertainment has been already described in these columns, and the Newporfconians should not miss this opportunity of seeing what can be accomplished by training and patience. The Luprno Brothers were irresistible, and kept the audience convulsed from the time they came on the stage to the moment they left it. Another remarkable performance was that provided by Mdjle. Ellen with her troupe of performing ceckatoos. Miss Lizzie Valroso scored im- mensely with her songs, and Daisy Wood, a sister of Marie Lloyd, is a clever member of a clever family. The Four Gartos contribute a clever musical entertainment, aad the singing of Mr. Charles Vincent was of no mean order. SWANSEA. The Swansea Empire on Monday night was packed in anticipation of the splendid programme announced for the week by Mr. Oswald Stoll. Mis-i Marie Loftus was the first favourite, of course, and with her new songs was a brilliant success. The Olympian Quartette scored second honours with their realistic sketch of Ethiopian life in the Southern States, entitled the "Return from Kansas." George Spry and Florrie Austin, in their new sketch, "Rustic RivaJs," made a. decided hit; the Sifters Santley delighted the audience as duettiste and dancers; J. H. Hurst, oomio vocalist; Miss Fortescue, serio-comic, and Miss Nellie Stratton, charming artist- in song and dance, repeated their successes achieved at the Cardiff Empire last week, and were received with the same enthusiasm. THE PANOPTICON, CARDIFF. The chief attraction at the Cardiff Panopti- con this week is undoubtedly "Princess Paulina," the living doll. For the tiniest of dwarfs, who only weighs SJ,lb- and is but 19in. high, she is a perfect little marvel. She not only sings prettily and dances with grace and ease, but also speaks four languages fluently, and is perfectly formed into the bargain. Judging from the crowds which flocked to her three performances on Monday, she has already gained a popularity-which will. no doubt, in- crease before she leaves Cardiff. The stage performance Is a strong one, a.nd includes Nana and Nono, aerial gymnasts: Edgar Squire, vocalist Austen and Edwards. and the Two Kranks. whoSe- comic songs and dances on Monday "took exceedingly well. The curiosity halls were throughout, the day well patronised, the various additions to the waxwork exhibition being much admired.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. Meeting of Liberal Electors in the Roath Ward at Cardiff. A meeting of the Park Ward Liberal Asso- ciation was held on Monday night a-t the Primitive Methodist Mission-hall, Castle-road, Cardiff, to consider the representation of the ward at the forthcoming municipal elections. Mr. Morgan Morgan was in the,chalt, sup- ported by Mr. Ebenezer Beavan, Mr. Lew: 9 Williams, Alderman Rees, and Mr. Rioha.rd Davies (secretary).—The Chairman explained tha,t they had met more especially to select their retiring councillorc his friend and col- league Mr. Ebenezer Beavan, to represent the ward in conjunction with himself m the Cardiff Corporation for the next three years. Having condoled with Mr. Beavan in his unfortunate illness, which had compelled him to take a less active part in public life, the speaker said they wanted in the council busi- ness men, hard-beaded individuals, good thinkers,. and good* tellwi. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Beavan. possessed all those qualiifcations. (Applause.) He combatted the proposal that municipal elections should be fought on non- political lines, and contended that it would be impossible to keep up the organisation of the party if they were to fight on non-poli- tical grounds.—Alderman Rees agreed that non- political contests, however, desirable, were impracticable.—Mr. Lewis Williams proposed that Mr. Beavan be again asked to represent them.—Mr. Fergusson seconded.— The Rev. Morgan Jones supported.—Mr. Hopkins, a late member of the Glamorganshire County Council, followed, criticising the cor- poration for what he called its reckless extrava- gance in certain directions. He com- plained of the cut-and-dried manner of the proceedings, which were simply a farce.-The Ward Secretary (Mr. Davies) denied this, and said that in drawing out the circular convening the meeting he only consulted the chairman.— Mr. Lewis Williams emphatically denied that there had been any collusion.—Mr. Ferguson usked was it possible to get a lietter town- clerk for the same money. (Laughter.)- The resolution having been carried unani- mously, Mr. Ebenezer Beavan. who was well received, replied at length to the criticisms passed upon local government, and said that up to two years ago there were only two mem- bers of the council who, for the thirteen years lie had been a member, attended with i greater regularity than himself. (Applause.) If his health permitted, lie hoped to serve them better than lie had done for the last two years. Severing his connection with the board of guardians, as a member, and relin- quishing his active duties in regard to tem- perance work, he would lop off 500 or 600 meetings a year, and have more time and opportunity to devote to their interests in the council chamber. The blame for extravagance must not attach to the 40 members in the council, but to the IB,000 or 18,000 ratepayers outside of it, .who had the voice and the biggest right to say "No." If they said "So far slialt thou go and no further." then the council must obey or take the consequences. (Applause-)

SUNDAY BOATING. Boatmen's Licences Cancelled at Penarth. The Penarth Local Board met on Monday night, under the presidency of Mr. T. Bevan. The question of Sunday boating was once more warmly discussed.- Mr. R. Bevan pointed out the board's incon- sistenoy, by its first claiming a locus standi in attempting to suppress Sunday golfing, and, secondly, in decrying Sunday boating. He would, therefore, move that the matter be left in abeyance.—Mr. Purnell vra-s of opinion that, as the board prohibited Sunday boating by endorsing the watermen's licenses, and that a six days' license only was granted, it ought to show the men the power the board possessed. He, therefore, moved that their licenses be revoked.—Mr. Pile seconded this. --The amendment was put, and Messrs. H. Snell, D. Morgan, G. Pile, and L. Parnell (4) voting for it, and Messrs. T. and R. Bevan (2) aga/inst it.Councillor Shepherd observed a neutrality, remarking that he did not lite to be too severe on the men, as it was bruited about that the boatmen had been supported in their opposition to the board by several influential residents.

FOOTBALL 'I David James and the Swansea Assecia- I tion League. Some weeks since one or two of the clubs in the Swansea and District FootbaJl League were casting longing eyes at David James, with a view to inducing him to assist them in their League matches. The famous brothers have bsen practising with the Danygraig team on their ground at Danygraig, and some time since the Danygraig Club registered David in tlia League, but it was not then generally supposed that the action was more than formal in character. Subsequents events, however, have shown that the emissaries of the Clayton Club have been approaching David, with the object of inducing him to play at half-back with the old Morriston player. Nothing definite has yet been settled. WH A MEMBER OF THE SWANSEA V COMMITTEE SAYS.) A Swansea. "Daily Post" reporter approached a prcminent member of tha Swansea Com- mittee on the subject, and he thought the Jameses would do better to keep quiet for the next few weeks. At the present time, when their case may be said to be sub judice, it was of sp--ciaj *-hat tbay should keep

BORTH TRAGEDY. Prisoner Richards Sends an Epistle to His Wife. Since Thomas Richards's statement, which in effect almost amounts to a full confession of the murder of Mary Davies, of London-place, Borth, his sister-in-law, has been made known to the public the circumstances attending the Borth tragedy do not occupy the same promi- nence in the public mind in the locality as they did previously, the general conversation at Borth and the adjoining neighbourhood now being on the fate of the culprit. We under- stand that, although greatly distressed during the last few days of hia incarceration, the prisoner continues to enjoy lib meals, which are an improvement -on the ordinary .diet allowed at the police station, with every relish, and, besides, sleeps well. PRISONER COMMUNICATES WITH HIS WIFE. We learn that the prisoner during the course of Sunday intimated that lie desired communicating with his wife. It being some- what inconvenient for him to accomplish his desire in the cell the police authorities very kindly allowed him the privilege of writing his message in the charge-room of the estab- lishment, and also favoured him with the necessary articles. We understand that the epistle was very brief and solely referred to domestic affairs. PULPIT REFERENCES. On Sunday references were made at the various places of worship at Borth respecting the sad end of the victim, particularly at Zoar Chapel, with which Church deceased was closely connected.

PITWOOD RATES. Reduction of the Charges by the Great Western Railway. The reduced Great Western rates on pitwood from Swansea foreshadowed by the harbour superintendent at the chamber of commerce meeting on Friday came into effect on Monday, Porthcawl, Briton Ferry, Port Talbot, and Llanelly participating. The tariff shows a considerable reduction, ranging from 3d. to 9d. per ton, and will, doubtless, be of considerable assistance to the local trade, which, it is stated, has fallen off considerably, owing to the rates being excessive as compared with neigh- bouring ports.

SERIOUS TRAP ACCIDENT. A Lady Thrown Under a Waterwheel at Tredegar. A serious accident occurred at Tredegar on Sunday night, by which Mr. and Mrs. David Evans, builder, Rliymney, narrowly escaped with their lives. Mr. Evans, in company with his wife, was driving in a trap from Blackwood to Tredegar, and the horse, taking fright at a group of men on the road, backed over the embankment round a waterwheel, belonging to the Tredegar Company- Mrs. Evans was pre- cipitated under the wheel into the water, and was bravely rescued from drowning by a lad named John Morgan, when it was found that her collarbone was fractured, beside sustaining further injuries. She was conveyed to tl» King's Head Hotel, Tredegar, where she v.as immediately attended to by Drs. Brown and Crawford. Mr. Evans clung to the harness of the horse, and esca.ped with no more serious injuries than a. severe shaking. The horse was killed on the spot.

BOROUGH AUDITORS. Result of the Ballet for Cardiff Officials. On Monday the annual election of two auditors for the county borough of Cardiff took place in the mayor's court at the Town-hall. Very little interest wa.s manifested in the elec- tion, as evidenced by the fact that, out of an electorate of 17,759, only 364 rotes were recorded. The result of the poll, as declared by the pre- siding officer, Mr. W. J. Trounce (mayor), was as follows -Alfred Maurice Bailey, auctioneer and valuer, 48, Hamilton-street. 161 A. Coleman. accountant, Maplewood, Llandaff, 142 and W. R. Phillips, newspaper reporter, 61. The two 1first-na.med gentlemen, who had held the office in the previous year, were consequently elected.

PRIZE FIGHT AT MERTHYR. Ten Rounds Fought for a Five Pound Purse. Ettrly on Monday morning a prize fight for a stake of £5 aside took place on the Merthyr side of the Aberdare Mountain in the piesence of a large number of spectators, the combata.nts being colliers working in the Plymortth Pit, There was a difference between the weights of the two men of something like two stone. The battle was very stubbornly Contested, and ten rounds were fought when the seconds of the lighter pugilist threw^up the sponge in token of defeat. Both men were severely punished. The loser, who was somewhat handicapped from the start by an injured left thumb, fell heavily on a stone in the third round, and sustained a severe J wt ou his head.

Its method of catching its prey is to coil itself up under a- low bush, and' when a, hare or bush rabbit or a small buclr, called a "dyjketi," comes along, it will fasten, its; eyes upon its victim's, and. without- moving.; from its cods, will suddenly spit forth its poison, whioh, striding the animal; in the eyes, completely blinds it, and enatftes the snake to dRsb4 forward and fasten its fangs in its neck. While its prey is still warm, the ixjison-spitter :will pull the skin and hair off in huge pieces, and then, crunching the body in its folds, will swallow it whole. This snake will often lie in an old road or path, and has been known to completely blind, almost at the same in- stant, a, pair of mules that were- driven along the rotd-attaclied to a w agon- They can eject this poison and hit their object a, distance of thirty feet. Another terror to the natives and travellers is the "boomslang" or "tree snake." It is about nine feet in length and from three and a half to four inches think in its middle. When in search of prey it coils its tail end around the bough of- a short, thick bush or tree, and when a small ''bleshok" or other small antelope passes under the? tree it will drop on it^ coiling itself around and around its body, and, getting a power- ful leverage with its tail end around the tree, will crush the animal into a .jelly. After the buck is dead the snake will roll it over and over on the ground. This has the effect of taking the hair off, and after covering the animal all over with a thick slime, the snake devours it in mouthfuls. Unlike most reptiles of its kind, it does not swallow its food in c-ne piece, but will eat it all up in separate piooea. Then if goes to sleep for three or four mon%a The Kaffirs dread this reptile more than all others, as it looks so much like the bough (f the tree upon which it hangs. Many a poor native has fallen a victim to. it while travelling through the bush. The well-known "puff-adder," also found in India, abounds in Southern Africa. It iikes to be near water, and is found chiefly near (»*«ep.; pools of muddy water, where it lies in wait fcrsj frogs and water-rat-, upon which it mo.stly/ feeds. Its average length, is 4ft., and it has a yellow body with black rings. It. is the most venomous of all African snakes, but not the most dangerous. With its smaller prey it darts right out with lightning mpidityandeats immediately whatever it oatclies. but with! Isrger animals that come in its way. or to attack a person, the reptile will stand on its tail and throw itself backward, burying its fangs as soon as it strikes. When disturbed it will give chase. In suck an event it is very difficult to get away from, as the snake throws itself backward on its tail. The natives of Natal and Pondolaod catch these puff-adders, and after cutting out their fangs release them around the kraals to kill the field mice and other small troublesome animals. Killing snakes in Africa. has come tb ix*. p uite a lucrative occupation, as the ColonisI and Boer Governments offer big rewards for all snake skins brought in. The weil-tnovin Himpopo River explorer, John Baikie, killed over 7,000 snakes in one year, fur which he t reoeived a. sum of money equal to £ 3.009.

SEAMEN'S DISPUTE. Mr. J. H. Wilson Receives a Letter from Sir William Harcourt. The Central News says:— Last week Mr. J- Havelock Wilson addressed a letter to Sir William Harcourt complaining that the Board of Trade was offering facilities to shipowners at the Bristol Channel ports to eign on their crews on board ship instead of, as usual, at the shipping office, and that the Bute Docka- authorities at Cardiff were excluding the tltuon seamen from entering or passing through their docks to the vessels when in search of employment. He added that these practice:; were preventing Union men obtaining work, and were encouraging crimping. Mr., I Wilson has received the following reply:- "Whitehall. Sept. 29, 1894. "Dear Mr. Haveloek Wilson,—I have to. acknowledge the receipt of your letter relating to the treatment of Union seamen nt Cardiff. I will cause inquiry to be made into the matter with a view of seeing what can be done. I need not tell you that this is a subject upon which I have no special knowledge depart- mentally, and. therefore, I must seek for in- formation.—Yours faithfully. "W. V. HARCOURT." Mr. Wilson travelled specially from Car-, diff to London on Monday, and had an inter- view with Mr. Ingram B. Walker, the assis- taut secretary of the Board of Trade, upon the situation at Cardiff. The hon. gentleman sub- sequently said that he was not at liberty to state the result of the interview, but important developments might be expected shortly. Mr. Wilson returned to Cardiff in the evening to con- tinue the agitation. The Union leaders declare that the Bute Dock authorities still exclude all Union seamen from the docks, and that the Board of Trade, by allowing the signing' on of men on board ship. continue to assist, the shipowners who refuse to pay the advanced rate of wages. STEAMER BOARDED BY UNION i MEN AT BARRY. A THREATS TO THROW THEM OVER- BOARD. During the prevalence of the seamen's wages agitation at Barry Docks matters have proceeded very smoothly, but on Saturday an incident which caused much excitement occurred at, Barty. About one o'clock the officials of the; Seamen's Union received information to the effect that officers of the Board of Trade would attend on board the steamer Westergate, beloer- • ing to Messrs. Morel Brothers, Cardiff, and: lying under No. 10 Tip. for the purpose of sign- ing on a. crew. Mr. J. Harrison, the secretary of the Union at Barry Docks, together with P," 11 number of Union men, proceeded to the steamer. ■ Several non-Union seamen were already on board for signing, and a number of Unióll men. with Mr. Harrison, the latter states, one. ceeded in gaining the decks, but when the over- looker of the boat, named Mr. Williams, learnt" that the men were Unionists lie, whilst tour of Mr. Harrison's men were proceeding along the ladder to get aboard, it is alleged, ordered the men off the ship. but they declined, stating that as long as the Board on Trade officiah; remained on board they ba.d a ? right to seek employment. The men belonging i to the Union continued to arrive on deck tor- about an hour and a half, and refused to lea.ve- until the Board of Trade officials did. Ðesidcar those on board, a large number of seamen and coal trimmers gathered round -the vessel watch- iug the a fTr:.ir. On Monday the steamer Neni- Wai --icoeaefujLly blocked at Bsxwt.
