"Verdict of Nine Hundred."—Under this title Messrs. R. J. Heath and Sons, Queen-street, Oatdiff. pianoforte makers, organ builders, and music ware- housemen, have collected an imposing array of testi- monials and Press opinions relating to the quality at the musical instruments supplied by them. The arm is so well known in Cardiff, and, indeed, throughout South Wales and the West of England, that it is ifflrdly necessary here to well upon its influence and commanding position. This collect-ion of testimonials serves, however, to do something more than certifji to the excellence of the instruments furnished bf, Messrs. Heath and Sons. It shows, in a eense, how steady is the growth among the general public of a desire for a knowledge of music, and how increas- ingly numerous, even in the homes of the working Classes, are pianos, organs, and harmoniums. The great majority of the letters in this list relate to pianos, and while many of them have reference to Jiost costly instruments containing all the latest improvements, suppaed to the well-to-do, the greater number related to serviceable instruments purchased for the homes of the wage-earning portion of the community. This growing love for so refining an art as music is a most favou rable sign. For though in the Principality music lms for generations been the chief recreation for the people, it has for the most part been choral music in connection with churches and chapels that has occupied attention. Instru- mental music is now, however, receiving its fair share of attention, and all those in true sympathy with the art must trust that the movement will go steadily onward. These testimonials have been received from every quarter of the Principality, while not a few come from other portions of the United Kingdom, and some from South America, India, and other distant countries. All speak most favourably of Messrs Heath's business method* as well as of their instruments. R J. AND SONS INVITE INSPECTION. FULL lT/rSTR.VVEP LISTS AND VERDICT POST FREE.

Notes from London All ALL THE GOSSIP OF TOWN AND CLUBS. The New Speaker-The Contest in Eas Wicklow-Off for the Holidays. The new Speaker ha-9 eomraenced his reign by a very gracious act. He has to-day bestowed on his ckrksin chambers, for whose services he will no longer have need, a very handsome annuity. This is the sort of thing those who know Mr. Gully best would expect of hIDl, for, as everyone gladly admitted on Wednesday, his personal virtues are. not less notable than his legal eminence. To-day Mr. Gully waited on the retinng Speaker at the official residence, and had a conference with him and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It is understood that Mr. Guiily will not go into residence until after the marriage of Miss Pael to Mr. Rochefort Maguire, which interesting event is fixed for Wednesday, the 24th inst. THE CONTEST IN EAST WICKLOW. Events are playing into the hands of the Anti- Pao-nellites in East Wicklow. To-day the address otf Colonel Tottenham as a Tory can- d'dste is issued. There are also in the field two Parnellites, to wit, Mr. Sweetman and Mr. Laaigton, of Bray, both men of some consideration. Although the Antis have not yet brought out a candidate, they ought to be able to face their opponents with tolerable confidence. The candidature of Colcnel Tottenham is frowned on by the Unionist leaders here. Their objections ara practical. In the first place, if the colonel wins the seat now he will lose it at the general election, inasmuch as the Unionist; are oiulv about a third of the total number of electors. In the second place, if he does not win it will be owing to the d;<safplet,tkKa of Unionist voters, and there will be shown at the poll a falling off in the Unionist vote which will not repre- sent the actual fact, inasmuch as the number of Unionist electors has increased. In the third place, the leaders regard this as an eminently favourable opportunity for drawing a ring and permitting the two Nationalist factions to fight out their own battle. Therefore, if persuasion wilt do it, the colonel will withdraw. OFF FOB THE HOLIDAYS. "Punch" this week advises holiday-seekers to stay in town, but, like most other good advice, it is not accepted. The London termini yesterday and to-day were crowded to excess, and it is almost impossible to get. about on account of the enormous quantity of luggage scattered about. So far as M.P.'s are concerned, they hurried out of town as soon as the House rose. The Leader of the House took train to Mad wood, where he will stay for five or six days. He is expected at the Treasury at the end of next week, in order to make preparations for the Budget. Mr. Balfour went to Rye, Sussex, and the bright, genial air in this lovely county should put a little colour into the thin, wan cheeks of the hard-working Leader of the Opposition. •>ir Ughtred Kaye-Shuttleworth has taken a Channel cruise, and another prominent poli- tician who has gone on. the waters is the Hon. George Curzon. This young gentleman sailed for America, where, on the 22nd, he will take to wife the beautiful Miss Lister. Earl Spencer can now be seen at Althorp Park; Sir George Trevelyan at Welcombe, Stratford-on-Avon, and Mr. Shaw-Lefevre at Bournemouth. Mr. Acland and Mr. Tom ENis seek recreation among the Welsh hills, the former in Radnor and the latter in Merioneth. As to Lord Salisbury, he and his family are now at Monte Carlo, and a trip to this beautiful spot would do much for the Prime Minister, who is making but slow progress to complete recovery. MAUNDY THURSDAY. To-day being Maundy Thursday, the ancient Royal charities were duly bestowed in Westminster Abbey. The ceremony on these occasions is of a most touching character, and the crowded congregation which assembled to witness it was, as usual, large and deeply impressed. This year gifts from her Majesty were presented by the Right Rev. Lord Alwyne Compton, Bishop of Ely, Lord High Almoner to the Queen, to seventy- six men and seventy-six women, the number of each sex corresponding to the age of the Queen. Until the reign of James II. it was the practice of the Kings and Queens of England to wash the feet of these old persons. King William left the washing to his almoner, and such was the arrangement for many years afterwards. His Grace the Archbishop of York, Lord High Almoner, revived the ceremony of washing the feet of a certain number of poor in the Royal Chapel, Whitehall, but since the begin- ning of the reign of Queen Victoria this cere- mony has been entirely given up, and an additional sum of money given in lieu of provisions. THE LONDON LIBRARY. The London Library, to which Mr. Herbert Spencer has just been elected vice- president, in the place of the late Sir E. H. Bunbury, oontains over 100,000 volumes. It is situated in St. James's-square, and! was formed for the convenience of literary and professional men generally. On the steps of this well-patronised building can daily be seen the most eminent persons, with well- read volumes under their arms, about to exchange for some equaJly-desired book. Charles Dickens was one of the foremost of its promoters, and it would have glad- dened his heart could he but see to what noble use the library is now put. THE NEXT SAVOY PIECE. Mr. D'Oyly Carte informs me that he has arranged with the Royal Carl Rosa Opera Company to bring the popular opera "Hansel and Gretel" to the Savoy at Easter. Mr. Carte had originally intended to produce his opera at the Savoy last winter, but, owing to prior arrangements having been made for the production of "The Chieftain," it was not possible to do so at the time. THE GREATEST SHOW IN TOWN. At Olympia most extensive preparations have been made for the crush of visitors who are expected. The streets and squares and bridges within the vast building have been made additionally beautiful by a bountiful display of flowers and garlands. New variety artistes have been introduced into the great spectacle on land and water, and the HaH of a Thousand and One Columns has been transformed into the "Realms of Light," with brilliant and striking- effects. On Saturday, the 20th, the West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa football teams will be present after their contest for the English Cup. bv invitation of the directors, and on the 24-th and 27th there will be great festivi- ties in connection with the Co-operative Congress.

THE ROUTE TO INDIA. ENGLAND STRENGTHENING PERIM'S FORTIFICATIONS. A Reuters telegram from Paris on Thursday says -The "Politique Coloniale" publishes a telegram from Aden stating that the British are about to strengthen the fortifications on the Island of Perim, in the Strait of B&b-el- Mandeb, and that they also intend, in order to improve their command of the Strait, to fortify a peninsula on the Arabian ooaat oppo- site Perim.

VATICAN AND WALES. ROMAN CATHOLIC ACTIVITY IN THE PRINCIPALITY. A Catholic corespondent, writing in the "Daily Chronicle," says:—It has already been announced that one of the first duties to be performed by the 'Roman Catholic bishops in England, at t-heir annual meeting after Easter, will be the selection of three ecclesiastics to be recommended for the position of Apostolic-vicar for Wales. It is the preparatory step to the ultimate creation of a Welsh hierarchy, which will by-and-bye be accomplished by the appoint- ment of bishops to some of the ancient episcopal sees of tha Principality. Following the estab- lishment of the vicariate will be the foundation J of a Roman Catholic college for seminarists intended for the priesthood. It is proposed to ■. train priests for service in Wales who can speak and preach in the Welsh language, and to found Catholic missions in many places which are now without the service of any Catholic priest. Imitating the system adopted recently in Lon- don and the United States, it is intended to promote public lectures in the Welsh language in explanation of the doctrines and discipline of the Roman Catholic Church. In the churches sermons will be regularly preached in the ancient tongue of the Cymri. Already the Franciscans, the Augustinians, the Jesuits, and others of the religious orders of the Roman Church have homes and educational establishments in the Principality, in which the Welsh language is spoken and taught. For the present these establishments will provide the native preachers. In the parts of the Principality where the Cymric tongue is in general use, school teaohers, with a knowledge of the language, will be placed in charge of the Roman Catholic elemen- tary and intermediate schools. It may be said en passant that the Celtic languages are all taught at the Propaganda College in Rome, where one of the finest collections of Welsh scholastic literature extant is preserved, and it is deemed not at all improbable that a Welsh college will be added to the educational estab- lishments of the Church in the Eternal City, where England. Scotland, and Ireland already have colleges of their own.

FUNERAL OF AN ARMY VETERAN. On Thursday the remains of Edward Bald- win, the Army veteran, who died at his resi- dence, 5, Davis-street, Cardiff, on Sunday last, were laid to rest at the New Cemetery, Car- diff. A large number of veterans from the district and sergeants and men from the depot attended to pay a last tribute of respect. The MB. BALDWIN, THE ARMY VETERAN. I coffin, of polished oak, was carried in Messrs. Stone Bros.' handsome open car, and was covered with the Union Jack, to which the deceased soldier's three medals—Crimean, Turkish, and Indian Mutiny—were pinned. On. the coffin were also laid Baldwin's helmet and sword. -?-?-

A SINGULAR ACCIDENT. A singular accident has happened to Mr Charles Jones, assistant-engineer to the Over- head Electrical Railway Company at Liverpool.

He was. removed to the hospital in a critical condition.

< ENGLAND AND EGYPT. FRENCH JEALOUSY OF ;BRITISH INFLUENCE, A Reuter's telegram from Paris on Friday says:—The "Matin" publishes a remarkable letter from M. Deloncle, who is at present staying in Cairo, in which the French Deputy, after stating that Egypt has never been more tranquil than now, declares that the signatures to the petitions, which have been circulated praying for the continuance of the British occupation, have only been obtainable by force. M. Deloncle further asserts that Lord Cromer is planning a fresh expedition to Dongola. and even to Khartoum, in order to create a npw complication which will afford an excuse for maintaining the British occupation of the country. Finally M. Deloncle assures his fellow-countrymen that the influence of France in Egypt is still considerable, and that the natives look to France for a prompt solution of the present situation.

UNION OF TEACHERS. WORK OF THE WELSH SUB- COMMITTEE. The twenty-fifth annual report, of the National Union of Teachers, to be presented to the annual conference in the Central-hall, Manchester, on Easter Monday, after dealing with the progress of the body refers to the question of superannuation, and states that the Government had added a sum of nearly JB1,500 to the amount at disnosal in pensions for teachers who entered the profession before the 9th of May, 1862. On several occasions during the year cases of hardships of teachers arising from insecurity of tenure had been brought before Parliament, but difficulties arising from legal and administrative matters had hitherto blocked the way to a satisfactory issue. The executive strongly feel that a suitable Tenure Bill should, not only preclude the imposition of non-scholastio tasks upon teachers, but should also provide that a teacher may not be dismissed except by the. vote of at least two-thirds of the managers, nor except for reasonable cause assigned. The Welsh sub-committee had dealt with various matters arising from the develop- ment of intermediate education in the Princi- pality. The general secretary acted as one of the returning officers for the election of repre- sentatives of teachers of public elementary schools on the governing body of the University College of South Wales, and effectual steps were taken to promote similar representation upon the council of the University College of North Wales. Repiesentaiives of primary teachers now sit upon the court of the Univer- sity of Wales and upon county governing bodies for intermediate education. -?--

LJOCAL WINDING-UP PAPERS. The "London Gazette" of Friday night states that the following local companies have been voluntarily wound up :—Nelson Institute (Limited), Nelson, Glamorgan (Mr. D. Morgan, of Nelson, has been appointed liquidator for the purpose of winding up); John Bull Gold Mining Syndicate. 12, Mount-street, Cardiff (for re-construction and registration of a new company) Messrs. J. R. Christie and H. Godfrey, both of Cardiff, are the liquidators for the purpose of winding up.

LLANELL Y EISTEDDFOD. It is probable that the difficulty which has arisen between the authorities of the Lianelly National Eisteddfod and the shareholders of the market will now be removed, it having been decided to ask the borough council to clear the space between the Presbyterian Church and Bradbury-hall, and thereon erect a marquee, with suitable provision for the stallholders. The stallholders, too. promised to become guaran- tors of the eisteddfod.

TIN-PLATE TIRADE. It is stated that the men of the Western Works, Lianelly, have decided to fall in with the proposal to restrict the make in accordance with the suggestion set forth by the Board of Control. Hitherto the western men have taken an independent course in the matter.

Some Singular Stakes, OWNERSHIP SETTLED BY CARDS OR DICE. On Her Deathbed Goldsmiths 014' Lady Played for Her Funeral Expenses. Everyone knows the story of old lady, who, lying sick unto death, played cards with the curate to pass the time away, and, after winiung all his money. had just pro- posed to play for her funeral cha.rg"ejj, when she expired. There have been stranger stakes still. In 1735, when Henry and James Trotter sat down, at the Salmon Inn, Chester-le-street, London,, to play a game of caads against Robert Thoms: and Thomas Elliston, the latter pair staked 5s. and the former a child, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Leesh, who gave up their boy in all serious- ness to the winners. Even more serious were the stakes played for by two men whom the police reported in. 1812 as having been found in the Hampstead- road. One was on a wall, the other was hang- ing by his neck from a laanp-post, just "shoved? off." They had tossed all day—first for money, then for clothes, lastly for which of the two should hang the other. During the reign of Henry VIII. some lovers of cockfighting being gathered together at West- minster, Sir John Anderton put down the first duck-winged cock ever seen in a cockpit, cry. ing:—"There's the jewel of England. For 8Ii hundred in hand, and a. hundred in land, 1'111 fight him 'gainst any oock in England." Bran, don, Duke of Suffolk, accepted the challenge, and wagered the tithes of Eccles, bestowed 1 upon him by his Royal brother-in-law. upon the result, losing the battle and the tithes, and duck-winged cooks are to this day unknown in Lancashire as "Anderton s jewels." Colonel Edgeworth. who served und(-r Wil- liam TIL, was an inveterate gamester. One night, having lost all his money, he went to his wife and asked her to lend him her diamond; earrings. She took thsm from her tars with- out demur, and he returned to the card-table, The stake proved a lucky one, and brought hillt, losings back again. A traveller in New Zealand, spending II night in a equatter's hut, was invited to out m for a rubber of whist. As he took his seat, he inquired: "What points?" His partner responded, in a tone of significant surptrise, at euch a queetiom, "Why, the usual game, of, course—iheap points and a buliock on the i rubber." Unlesa Espartero and his foe Miarate am' much belied, more momentous issues were de-" eided by the cards in a, lone farmhouse it Bergard, where they privately met tc arrange' a. truoe between their respective forces. N o.j sooner did Efpartero enter the room that the Ca-riist chief challenged him to a game of tres- sJio—a challenge the Christina commander ac- cepted with alacrity. Espartero first won alJj M.ara-to'a money; they then played for the con- dition of the truce, finaily Marato staked' the surrender of his foresee. The Christinai; commander's luck continuing, Maraio within twenty-four hours laid down arms, and brought the first Caj-Iist war to an ignominious end. Members of the fair sex have been parti4 to chance or skill in disposing of their destiny Unable to decide between her two suitors, fa girl agreed to keep the floore while they played: dominoes for her hand and1 heart, and at the, finish of the game presented her rings to the beaten one as some solace for his defeat. Many a large estate hasi been, said to satisfy, its owner's debts of honour, but ouly a very.; 'hardened gambler would endure the humilia-'| tion of directly risking his ancestral acres on the chances of the cards. Such a man, how- ever, was Lord Wort'halA, who, having lost1 everything else, staked his whole estate against LIO,000 upon a single game of put. He held his own and that was all. to the last deal, when, in cutting, he exclaimed "Up now, deuce, or else a trey. Or Wort hail's lost for aye and aye." He was luoky enough to cut the dieuce of diamonds; and, to commemorate his escape from ruin, he had the deuce of diamonds out iin marble and affixed1 to the parapet of his mansion.

ixOOD FRIDAY. GLORIOUS WEATHER FAVOUBS PLEASURE SEEKERS. The glorious weather experienced in South Wales on Good Friday was much enjoyed by holiday-seekers, and the numerous excurakNtf run by local railways and various opm-ftir events were largely patronised. ReligiouR services took place in all the churches, and' charity concerts were held in several districts, all of which, were well attended. The Channel excursions were well patronised, and the; Penarth Pier during the day was visited by; over 10,000 people. At the Panopticon, Oar-* diff. where the "Man in a Trance" was out view,, there was a continual flow of sightseers. Bostock and Wombwell's Menagerie aleo proved a great attraction. The Amalgamated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen,. Great Western Railway, Cardiff, held their' annual dinner at the Wells Hotel, Oraddock-" street. Cardiff, in the evening. At Newport football amongst junior clubs was greatly in evidence morning and afternoon, and steam- boat excursions were largely patronised. Ail Barry the railway men held a demonstration/ for the benefit of the Widows and Orphans' Fund of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, while -the members of the "Dorcas" Company, playing at the Grand Theatre, Cardiff, gave a grand sacred concert. Most of the artistes contributed items to the programme, which was. greatly appreciated. At the Park-hall another-, sacred concert was given by the Cardiff Branch, of the Amalgamated Musicians' Union, in aid of the benevolent fund, and was distinctly successful. The theatres and other places of aim. cement being closed for the nigtot, the leaders of orchestras and quadrille bands and,, many local professionals contributed their ser" vices. Amongst the vocalists who took part was Miss Lucy Clarke, R.A.M., contralto. The orchestra, numbered 70 performers, ably led by Mr. W. Burgess, Cardiff Empire. To inaugurate the opening of the cycling' season a large gathering of wheelmen assembled at the rear of the Town-hall in the morning, among' whom we noticed a good muster of the Cardiff Borough. United, and the 100 miles road clulw. After being photographed, a start was made at 10.30 for St.. Bride's. Caerleon, and Usk. The Cardiff Jockey Club, to the num- ber of 60. joined in the procession on Newport- vl road, having been delayed at their head- quarters. At each place dinner was par- taken of by the several clubs. The cyclists, who numbered something like 200, were mounted on all kind of machines. After spend- ing an enjoyable time at the rendezvous, a return was made soon after seven o'clock, Car- diff being reached about 9.30.
