NOTES.

Manchester has a passion for Welsh
lord mayors. 1t is now announced that
Mr.. j.. +. Roberts has been unari-
nousiy invited by the city council Of
Manchester to accept office for the
ensuing year. Mr.. Roberts is the sixth
member OF the city council in point
or seniority. having been first elected
in November, 1896, and for sevral years
has held the Office of alderman. Not
Titnstanding his duties as the head
OF the firm of j. F. Roberts & Co. Mr.,
Roberts has found time to take a keen
interest in Welsh educational affairs.
he Is the senior vice president of the
University college at Aberystwith, has
been for many years n warm friend
for that institution, and often pre-
sides over the meetings of the court
of governors. 1t is worth noting, in
connection with the selection of Mr.
Roberts, that the present lord mayor
alderman Lloyd, who has filled the
office for two years. is also Welsh
man.
At the end OF the last century there
lived at Rhydrhelig, near Nantgarw,
man of great strength and stature
named William Lewis. He used to
carry two sacks of wheat on his back
to Cardiff market. He had also Il
large barrow, with which he would
wheel eight hundred pounds of coal
to the same place, where he would
sell it to inhabitants in small quanti-
ties. 1t is stated that when the Clam
organshire canal was made William
was working with others on the con-
Germ. On one occasion they were NOV
ing the butt Of an oak tree from the
channel of the canal. Oxen were used
there for hauling, and the beasts had
entirely failed to get the tree to the
bank. William shouted out, "Unhitch
tine oxen," and then he rolled the tree
to his knees. and thence successfully
over to the bank. thus proving his
wonderful strength. He was the Sam
son Of his age.
The London World says that there
ia not an unlimited supply Of gold in
Wales, but there is enough to supply
wedding rings for all the royal brides
who are likely to require them for
some time to come. 1t is becoming
the established custom for prlncesses
to be married with rings Of Welsh
gold. Such a ring was placed on the
third finger Of Princess Mauds left
hand. The ring was presented by O
deputetion of Welshmen, led by Sir
John Puleston Mt Marlborough house.
1t was enclosed In beautiful silver
casket, embellished with Welsh mot
toes. The Arch Druid Of Wales read
q loyal address In Welsh, O. language
which Sir John Puleston hoped would
become still more familiar to the
royal household" Mr.. Evans. how
ever, considerably obliged with an
English translation. Much gratifica-
tion wan given to the Welshmen by the
announcement oe tho Prince OF Wales
that Prince Edward of York Is known
to his relatives as David.

WEST SIDE EVENTS.
Several Gambling Places in Active
Operation flere-.,A Movement
Against Them Probable.

There are gambling dens on the West
Side. This statement is on the author
ity of a well-known churchman, who
recently made an investigation and vol
unteered the information to Tribune
reporter. The game most generally
played is poker, and, according to the
gentleman referred to. the game limit"
Is usually five and twenty-five cents
One poker room is in the rear of a cigar
establishment, and the location is in the
center of the town. Two saloons. also,
allow poker playing for money in their
back rooms. These places are also CEN
trally located.
Sometimes play is kept up all night
and the detected. wornout gamblers
can be seen skulking homeward at day
light. The players are young men of re-
spectacle parents. The gentleman who
offers the information is possessed of
the players names, and where the
games are conducted. 1t is probable
that a move will be made against the
proprietors of the places where the
gambling is carried on.
