LOCAL AMUSEMENTS. I GRAND OPERA AT CARDIFF THEATRE ROYAL. The operatic season opened auspiciously at the Theatre Royal on Monday evening with a. performance ef The Daughter of the Regi- ment." Donizetti's masterpiece has always been a. great favourite with Cardimang, and its popularity is well merited, for there is, pro- bably, no other work that combines the dis- tinctive qualities of grand and comic opera with such delightful results. The opera, besides being deliciously tuneful, has the rare charm of possessing a romantic and lively libretto, and these inherent qualities, good as they are. were enhanced on Monday evening by the exquisite rendering given by Mr. Arthur Rousbey's talented company. Indeed, it can be truthfully stated that Monday night's produc- tion eclipsed all the previous performances of Donizetti's opera in Cardiff, and the applause was refreshingly hearty. Of the many imperso- nators of Marie that have appeared at Car- diff, Miss Minnie Leverentz is undoubtedly the best, and it would be difficult to oonceive of a more perfect delineation of the French rivnn- diere tha.n the picturesque contribution of Miss Leverentz. What w.th hir swaet, cultured voice, her natural vivacity, her pretty figure, and the I extreme daintiness of her portrayal through- out, Miss Leverentz made an immense impres- sion, and was warmly applauded for her songs—" My Banner Victorious," The Gallant Twentieth," aud Farewell." Mr. F. S. Gilbert's clear tenor was heard to advantage in several stirrinf numbers, and a fine. mellow, and impressive Seargeant Sulpice was gives by Mr. Fuller Allen. Miss Jernie Hellaby's Countess was splendidly drawn, in Act II. especially. The powerful chorus and augmented band acquitted themselves admirably. This (Tuesday) evening the ever-popular "Bohemian Girl "will be produced, and to-morrow" II Tr ovatore is to be performed. GRAND THEATRE. The ever fresh and popular Pink Dominos was produced at the Grand Theatre on Monday evening before a rather small house. Doubtless, the many social gatherings which took place on that eveaing militated against a larger atten- dance. To describe the merits of "Pink Domi- nos would be a work of supererogation. Sufico it to say that it abounds with rollicking fun from start to finish, and there is not a dull moment in it. Many of the situations are "Frencbv" without being vulgar, aad the comedy is one well worth seeing. The company is that of Miss Emma Hutchison, and includes Mr. H. Saker, Mr. Duncan McRae, Mr. John Russell, Mr. Percy Hutchison, Miss Hilda Clyde, Madame Fauchette, Miss May Vincent, Miss Lillias N. Earle, and Miss Minnie Griffen. Each evening the piece is preceded by the one act comedy-drama Mary's Secret," by Arthur Matthison. THE EMPIRES. CARDIFF. That no man is a prophet in his own country" may apply to men, hut it certainly does not to women, if its latent meaning is that ability is under-valued through familiarity with its growth. For the veriest stranger could not have elicited heartier symptoms of admiration than did the whilom Cardiff girl, Miss Lucy Clarke-Elliott, in the course of her contributions to the Empire programme on Monday night. Miss Clarke is a beautiful singer and a. finished artiste. Her voice is mellow and its tones are true. She was very successful in rendering the delicate sentiment of that touching sonf The Moon-1 light Ladder." Two other ballads. My Old Man John" and The song you sang to me," were equally impressive. Miss Clarke's per- formance is a oredit to herself, to Cardiff, and to the Empire. She may be proud of her ability, and of the good use she has made of this gift of nature. Hughes and Farron, American artistes, contributed a smart sketch, in which or were several plantation songs and Revene and Elton gave a clever and absurdly funny acro- batic act. The Brothers Lloyd on the tight rope were heartily applauded for the many and varied feats which they performed, and Miss Alice Ormonde, serio-comic vocalist, scored a decided hit with her catchy songs. Miss Mollie Thompson is an instrumentalist par excellence, and Professor Slomau, the man bird, with his imitations and exceptionally clever whistling, was a big success. Gallimore and Kenyou, a couple of eccentrio duettists and dancers, were also heartily applauded. SWANSEA. Mr. Mark Melford, the well-known author and actor, appeared at the Swansea Empire on Monday evening with a company in his latest success, Desperation." The piece is remark- ably funny, and caused roars of laughter. The Brothers Webb, Continental clowns, play on, various instruments, all of which they seem to have mastered, and in their coacertina selection* from "William Tell" and the marohea and selections from the Mikado on the aleiffh bells prove their right to the name musiaiana. Tom Baas, the comedian, sings a couple of vary funny sones, and the Sisters Wyatt introduce a couple of clever and original duets and daaoat. The Allisons contribute several remarkably smart dances, and the Athols give a Japanese entertainment which is very quaint and causes many laughs. Miss Lizzie Varana, a serio- comic, sings and dances very well, and gained honours. NEWPORT. Very sensational, but exceptionally interest- ing, is the exhibition of the Maynard bullet- proof cuirass at the Empire Theatre, Newport, this week. The cuirass, which is the cnlv one that has successfully withstood the impact of modern military rifles, is worn by a man on the stage, and who is shot at by members of the audience, and an invitation is extended to anyone to bring his own rifle or cartridge. The Lenton family give an extraordinary acrobatic display, and were loudly applauded on Monday evenintg. The Edene quartette—the four pretty girls who scored so great a success in the recent Cinderella Pantomime at Cardiff— treat the audience to soms delightfui dancing, whils George Ripon, the well-known comedian, prove d as versatile as ever, and gained much applft use. The Arlottis contributed a capital com- sketch, and Harry Maxam, comedian and Poll1 Langdon, serio-comic, were also successful PANOPTICON, CARDIFF. One of the principal features of the Panop- ticon this *%ek is Howard's eleotorajna, illus- tra-ting the battlefields of Corea and the Land of the Rising: Sun. Many thrilling incidents are depicted on the ecreen. and songs are given at interval by Professor Howard. The grand military spectacle. "Queen. and Country." is a^ain produced, the manoeuvres of the 50 local children being warmly ap- plaude.d. Another amusing turn is that of Dick Mo&s. a clever comedian and dancer. These are only a few of the attractions at the Panopticon. Amount other items are the witch's swing: Magneta. an illuskn well worth seeing: the bicycle racer, the magic maze, and tl.e shooting jungle. The phrenological examinations by Professor Allaby are still con- tinued. and. in addition, the Empire entertain- ments can be heard through T.he telephone. Such a programme oug-ht to attract everyone in search of an evening's amusement.

ST. ANDREWS RECTORSHIP. PROBABLE THERE WILL BE OPPO- SITION TO LORD BUTE. The "Sun" says:—The Marquess of Bute's re-election next autumn as Rector of the Uni- versitv of St. Andrews is likely to be opposed. His lordships rectorship has not been so suc- cessful as was expected. His efforts to break the connection between the university and the Dundee University College have produced much bitterness, and his supporters and oppo- nents in the University Court and the Senutus have for some time back been writing each other letters of a very unac-ademic nature. Lord Bute's object in trying to develop St. Andrews proper, apart from Dundee. i-. no doubt, a patriotic one. but his way of attain- ing his object does not seem to have erred on the side of tact. Still, he is the friend of St. Andrews, for his opponents would transfer the faculties of science and medicine to Dun- dee. apparently regardleo~ of the fact that- the other faculties would follow in a generation or two.

EISTEDDFOD FOR IRELAXD. TO BE FORMED FOJl ENCOURAG- ING IRISH MUSIC. The national music of Ireland has up to the present time (says the "Westminster Gazette") been much neglected, but a movement is now 011 foot which should taie the effect of placing it oil a, much more satisfactory basis. The move- ment is to take the eSect of a national musical festival (or. similar liBCs to the Welsh "eistedd- fod"). which it is intended to bold in Dublin. A committee has been formed for the puD-pos. composed exclusively ofirish)niusioianfc.ui der the presidency of Dr. Villiers Stanford (wlio. we regret to hear. has been latelv suffering from influenza) and the hon. secretary is Miss Annie W. Patterson, the only Irish lady who has gained Mie degree of doctor of music by examination, and who is also one of the examiners in music at the Royal University of Ireland. The work of the committee is likeh to prove of importance, for they intend to enoourage the publication of old Irish airs never before printed, as well as some which have newr yet even been set in writ- ing: to develop a taste for songs in the Gaelic tongue r to form a new school of Irish com- posers: and to give the public an opportunely of hearing old Irish tunes interpreted in the traditional manner.

THE TIN-PLATE TRADE. DEPUTATION TO THE GWEN- DRAETR DIRECTORS. As stated in our Saturday's issue, the men employed at the Gwendraeth Works waited on the directors on Friday to hear what they had to say concerning the re-starting of the works, the manager having stated that things had fon- siderably brightened during the last few days, and that Uiey had been offered an order. The men were asked if they would work at a. reduc- tion of 12j per oent. on the old prices, and they agreed to this. Mr. David Evans, the chair- man of the directors, then stated thai, in addi- tion, they would aJso have to concede fourteen sheets out of every box,which the men hell meaJit a, reduction of soniptluiis; like 26j per cent., and which they refused, although Mr. Thomas Davies (aunealer) and Mr. William Evans (a. rollerman) proposed and seconded that they should do ewen this. Mr. Evans was asked for the 10 per cent, kept back when the employes were paid off, but did not pay the amounts. Matters remain, therefore, as they were.

MERIONETHSHIRE. SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. ELLIS'S OPPONENT. Mr. Henry Owen. who oontested Merioneth- shire in the Unionist interest against Mr. T. E. Ellis, the Chief Liberal Whip, at the last Sfeneral election, was found dead in bed at Dolford on Monday morning. The dec-eased was in his uisual health on Sun -lay. Mr. Owen was a tenant farmer, a Nonconformist, and an ardent Welsh Nationalist. He was a oounty magistrate for Merionethshire. An inquest will be held.

ALLEGED OVERCHARGES. THE CARRIAGE OF COAL ON THE TAFF VALE RAILWAY. In the House of Lords on Monday (before Lords Halsbury, Watsou. Ashbourne, Morris, Macuag^iten, and Sliaue) an appeal v. as commenced by Me-ssrs. D. Davis and Sons (Limited) agaiast the TaiT Vale Rail- way Company. app-jllaju-s own and work in.pen taut collieries in the lihondda Valley, fivin which th'.y raise upward. of one million tonh of coal pr annum, the greater part of which was conveyed by rail for shipment at the docks at Cardiff, l'euarth, and Barry. The acuon wa" coi. menoed by the 1 ail way company for the recovery of £ 4.075 for the carriage of goods and J6105 for other charges. The appel- bllts by their defence admitted the latter claim. :.nd put into court £ 105, and respondents A tc-cepted this as satisfaction of the claim in question. 1 he only plea put upon the record by the appellants with reference to the carnage (f goods was confined to such good;, as were destired for or coming from the Barry Dock and Railivay Company via Hafod Junction and the only allegations made with reference to the disputed traHic were that the rates charged were excessive by reaisons of the pro- visions of Section 23 of the Barry Railway Act, 1888. that the respondents were entitled to cliaxge -47787d. per ton per mile. :md that after charging that there remained due to the re- spondents £ 287 168.. which sum the appellants paid into court. Previous to the trial of the action the respondents gave notice to the appel- lants that they would give them credit for £ 2,300. and for all error in calculation of JS26 13s. 10d.. so tha.t the sum claimed was JE 1,460 13s. 6d., in addition to the amounts paid into court. The appellants contended at the trial that. m order to asc-erUviii the rate per mile applicable to the disputed traffic under Section 25, they were. entitled to divide the gross rate charged by the respondents for the carriage of like goods from tl,e Maritime Colliery to the docks at Cardiff and Penarth by the dis- tance from the said colliery to the farthest point in the Roath Basin.—The respondents TOD- tirded that the appellants could not set up I Ly way of defence that the charges for the dis- ptd-ed traffic wer.- in excess of the rate men- tioned in the section. nd that the section did not apply to the disputed traffic. They further argued that the words northward of Tre- forest did not include Hafod, arid it was also argued that Ser-tio!1 23 was an arrangement between the Barry Company and the respon- dents, who could enforce it." provisions, and t-liat the a-ppellantii. as meinliers of the pvbhe. were not parties in any way to this :'rrai!reiner.t. and, therefore, could not plead it in defence. The cas > had not concluded when their lord- ships adjourned.

MINES FLOODED. NARROW ESCAPE OF COLLIERS AT GLENBORG. A telegram from Airdrie states that a coal- pit at GlenTour is flooded by the Gartsherrie B'1rtl having flowed into it with a gm.t rush. The miners had a narrow escapc, and lost all th.ir tools. The Burn was in flood at < lie time. and there is now 30ft. of water in the shaft. Lord Londonderry's extensive New Seaham Collieries were ^topped on Monday oniug to a feeder of water bursting into the up-cast shaft and affecting the ventilation.

ACTION FOR DAMAGES. A WELSH SQUIRE AND HIS HARRIERS. At Corwen County-court OIl Saturday (before his Honour Judge Lewis) the Hon. C. H. Wynn. of Rug, master of a pack of harriers, was sued by Hugh Morris, farmer. Bettws. for £ 20 damages alleged to have been sustained to plain- tiff's horse through the harriers rushing acrtws the liighwav in pursuit of a hare, thus causing the horse to take fright and injure itself.—After evidence had been given as to the facts, which were not much disputed, his Honour, in givintr judgment, said hunting was a legal amusement, but amusements were only legal as long as they were reasonable, and if people when hunting went over highways aid caused damage to other people who w«re in legitimate use of the road they must take the & nsequence. He gave judg- ement for plaintiff for £ X2 5s.

An Awful Death His. KAN SUFFOCATED IN A 3TAXTT BIX. Two CompaLnions Stood Helplessly b3,ltl while a Big Spout Sucked Him Down. Quicksand never swallowed a man moron voraciously than did the bin of malt whicà; sucked in Henry Humphrey, while two men' stood ttalf a dozen feet away, listened to h1. terrible cries, and were powerless to save him.. The foreman of the Lake View Malthonse, New York. sent three men into one of the bins to trim it as it was filled. In that part) of the building where the three men were at work there are two bins, one above the other- The upper bin is the larger and will hokt*- thiee times as. much salt as the lower one. It is emptied by means of three spouts, each. turning toward a different corner. One of these empties into the xower bin. The upper bin is 20ft. deep. At this time it contained 10ft. of dry malt. The men were sent into- the lower bin to trim the malt as it came dowa; riio spout. They were all old employeeew Humphrey was 45 years old. and had worked? eight years in the nialtiiouee. His companions* utre Herman Summer-tdorf and Charles1 Niederlabd. both of whom have worked ia., inalthouees many years aud knew all tho cinjgetc of the business. Instead of gonijp. into the lower bin, in which there was no dauber, since only a certain amount of malt' could pass in at a tune. the inert climbed up the* ladder into the upper bin. Before doing eaco. they opened the spout and the grain began to, flow into the lower bin. All three men jumped into the upiier bin. Humphrey v. a Iked ever toward the spot where the eddy- ing malt fhowed that the 12m. spout was. sucking it out of the big bin as the waste pipe empties a wash bowl when the plug has been pulled. His companions kept away from this 1 point, but did not consider that Humphrey. was in any danger until he ga"e a sharp cry.- Turnmg they saw him hip-deep in the malt nghl, over the spout waving his hands frantically. The two men went as near as they dared, and: frantically shouted all manner of directions and advice to him. H umphrey seemed paralysed with fright. He had sunk clear to his shoul- ders before one of the men thought of trying to pass a shovel to him, and then he could 110* i reach it. Summersdorf and Niederland WEire- frightened almost as badly ae the sinking man, and they made the bin resound with their voices. No help canie. Then it occurred to cue of them that they might save Humphrey by: shutting off the flow of grain, and lie started down the ladder to the floor below where the spouts were operated. The other man was left alone with Humphrey, who was struggling with desperate energy, and sinking lower and., lower. "Help me! Great God, help me!-I sried Humphrey. "I'm going, I'm going, I'uW going." Then the malt reached his mouth. aad; he ceased to i-ry out. The grain from all cor- ners of the biD was flooding in on top of him. His hands opened and shut s pas mod loallyw clutched at the malt that was covering him, and' in the course of another ten seconds it had hidden him completely, and the grain whi -.h poured toward the s]/>u't heaped over him go, that when fin-Ily the flow at the spout was shut. off it was 4-f". deep above his head, and more than 2ft. above his hand: which were stretched straight above his head. When the spout had been stopped a. do-/>eu of his fellow employee hurried to the upper bin to drag him out, before- the malt strangled him. But it is certain that he was dead before the. spout was stopped. Hia' feet had reached the floor of the bin right at the, sides of the spout. but his body was too large- tD pass through. It took the men twenty minutes to dig the body out. The coroner was sum- moned, and had the body removed to the man's home. He had been suffocated, and rhe coroner made a certificate of death from that cause. Humphrey mw a single man. The foreman of the rnalt-liousc- told the enroner he oould not understand why the men should go to the upper bin, at he had ordered them to trim the lower one. They had evidently gona there to idle. They all appreciated the dangers of being sucked in at one of tiie spouts.

EISTEDDFOD ADJUDICATIONS. To the Editor of the "Evening Express." S,*r,-Wh It- thanking you for \our very kindly 1 notice of my letter on eisteddfod adjudications* may T point out that I was only alluding to' adjudications at the National E'.s'-eddfod The- so-<-alled "local eisteddfodau" usurp a na mt" which does not belong to them. Mr. Squeers' remark that "a man may call his house an. island if he likes holds good for those com- mittees who dub their literary meetings "ei»- teddfodau." or even "eisteddfodau oadeirol." Not long ago one of the eomi>etitions at a so- called "chair eisteddfod" was for the fattest c t pig. Yet I believe that an eisteddfod is only really suoh when it ha- been proclaimed a year and a dav previous to its opening in the Gorsedd y Beirdd. "But .ti." the fault of our age that the Groat will slill be calling himself Sir Shilling."—I am, &c.. ANNA WALTER THOMAS ("Morfydd Eryri").
