PROPOSED RAILWAY TO NEW QUAY. A meeting of the promoters of the proposed rail- way from Llandyssul to Cross Inn, near New Quay. was held at the Old Schoolroom on Saturday evening, under the presidency of Mr Stephen Evans, J.P.— The report of Mr Szlumper, C.E., who made the sur- vey, was read, and plans showing the proposed routes and gradients were exhibited. There were two routes suggested, viz., the Clethwr Valley route and tie Cerdin Valley route. The former is 18 miles loBjf, and the latter is 15 miles. Mr Szlumper in his report stated that the land over which it is proposed to construct a railway could be secured for almost a nominal sum, and that no more than some two acres and a half per mile will be required. He was quite confident that, taking this into account, and the fact that the bridges required would be very few, and the gradients easy, the line could be made at a cost of about X2,000 per mile.-A strong committee was formed with a view of organising district committees, advocating the claims, and canvassing for shares, which the chairman recommended should be issued at X5 each. Mr Davies, of Llandinam, has promised to support the movement, but lest some people should think that the whole thing is only an electioneering dodge, it was decided to postpone the next meeting* until after the election. It is confidently asserted that the line will pay a dividend of at least 4 pet cent. per annum.

NEWCASTLE EMLYN. FATAL AcciDENT.—Whilst walking along the left bank of the River Teify near the above town on Wed- nesday week, a young lad, twelve years ofjage, of the name of Jenkins, in bending under a wire-rope con- nected with the saw mills of Mr Timothy Thomas, was knocked by the rope into the middle of the river, which is very deep at the place. Although Jenkins was a good swimmer, he Rever rose to the surface. Doubtless he received a blow which stunned him by the rope, which was in working at the time. A search party was soon at work, and after a short time the lifeless body was found. Much sympathy is felt with the parents of the unfortunate youth throughout the neighbourhood.

A FRIEND IN NEED. A friend in need is a friend indeed," says the old proverb, and it is when trouble and sickness visit the tarnily that the value of a tried and true friend is felt and ap predated. There is, at this season of the year, so much sick- ness, complaints of weak or failing health are so general, that anything which would assist to remove tliii sickness, and to do away with the cause of the complaints, would be a Real Family Friend. THE FATHER'S FalEXD when overworked, or if his h -aitti shows any signs of breaking up after the trials of the past winter, is undoubtedly Gwilym Evans, Quinine Bitters. It will brace up bodily powers, fortify the system against disease, and enable the father to bear up in the future better than in the past. THE MOTHER'S FKIBND, if the cares of the family are weisliing heavily on her, or if any derangement of the natural functions is causing anxiety, is Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters. It restores the failing powers of the bedy, gives strength instead of weakness, and Infuses new life into the blood. Every mothrr should use it THE CHILDREN'S FRIBKD, if they are growing rapidly, and are not as strong as ihey used to be, or if they appear delicate after the serere winter W6 have gone through, is certainly Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters. There is nothing like it for purifyina and enriching the blood, and thus producing glow- ing health in weakly fiaines. Try it. THE STUDENTS' FRIBND, when in danger of breaking down entirely after, or during a course of severe study, or if the con- finement to books threatens a constitution already delicate, is, beyond a doubt, Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters. It counteracts the injurious effects of over study helps to build up fresh healthy tissue in the body; purifies the blood and clears the brain, and assists to secure that reserve of strength which the demands of close application to study necessitate. Tits WORKMAN'S FRIEND, if he is exposed to the weather, or works for long hours in close, ill-ventilated rooms, or breathes the impure air of the mine, the furnace, or the fac- tory, is Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters. The timely use of this invaluable medicine has many a time Saved to the family the workman's earnings, as without it he would have been compelled to give up his work; it has saved falling back upon the club, and has reduced the doctor's bill. It has done so with others It will do so with you if JOU give it a fair trial. EVBBVBODY'S FRIEND, if he wants to be recruited in health, if he wants to rid the system of the weaknesses entailed by the hitrd winter, if he wants to be strong, and to enjoy the plaastues of hea!th, is undoubtedly Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters.

ST. DAVID'S COLLEGE, LAMPETER. DEGREE DAY. The conferring of degrees at this college took place ion Tuesday, in the lecture room of the boys' school, Ij&mpeter, and more than ordinary interest was evinced in the proceedings because it was the last occasion on which the Rev Principal Jayne, who has done so much for the Church in Wales and Lampeter college in particular, would be present in his official Capacity as principal. The conferring of degrees commenced shortly after eleven a.m., by which hour the room was well filled by ladies and gentlemen from the surrounding neighbourhood, clergymen, and students. The examiners for this year were-for the B.D. degree, the Rev Dr Vaughan, Dean of Llandaff; Rev Dr King, lecturer at Sussex College, Cambridge; the Ven. Archdeacon Edmondes, M.A., Trinity Col- lege, Oxford, and Archdeacon of St David's. For the B.A. degree, Mr R. T. Glazebrook, M.A., F.R.S Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge; Mr C H. Firth, M.A., Balliol College, Oxford, late professor of English at Firth College, Sheffield; Mr F. C. Montague, M.A., Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, and Fellow of University College, London; Rev H. Edward Ryle, M.A.. Fellow of King's College, Cambridge Rev H. L. Thomas, M.A., late censor and student of Christ Church, Oxford. The Rev Principal Jayne, who was cheered, said that their gathering was in some respects an unusual one. In the first place, this was the first occasion in which the June degree day had been held in that hall. It was not through any want of the continuance of great kindness through which they were allowed the use of the Town Hall for examination purposes, but the Town Hall was, as they all knew, required that day for the Quarter Sessions (applause). But they liad been using this room for examination purposes and for the conferring of degrees, and it was a cause of satisfaction to know that the serious expenditure upon this building had mot been in vain, and that it had not only been use- ful but absolutely necessary (applause). There had been no waste or unnecessary outlay on the part of the college board in this matter. Again, they were in some respects that day at a disadvantage, because there were a great many rival gatherings which had drawn their friends away from them. The country was in a state of political business and excitement, and also the Quarter Sessions were being held, which drew a great number away (cheers). Yet, the Quar- ter Sessions gathering was somewhat akin to their Own work, and could hardly be separated. In addi- tion to this was the re-opening of the church at Haverfordwest, which deprived them of many friends, including the Archdeacon of St David's (applause), a very old friend, and probably also of the presence of the Bishop of Llandaff. They were all tke more grateful to those friends who had put themselves out of the way to meet there that day, especially to the Visitor of the College (the Bishop of St David's), who Lad deprived himself of a visit of pure pleasure for a visit, which was, he was sure, one of pleasure, but also one of business (loud applause). This was the first occasion upon which they had conferred certifi- cates for proficiency in music, which was rightly con- sidered by the college board to be an important beginning, and which was recognised by the Arch- bishop of Canterbury as occupying no secondary part in educational work. In connection with this subject be thought their thanks were due to Mr Curry, Mr feltoe, and Mr Evans (applause). He then read out the following list of candidates who had been success- ful in obtaining degrees, which were afterwards con- ferred :— ferred Itecommended for the ORDINARY. B.D. Degree.

Mr Ryle, who was loudly cheered, expressed the pleasure which he felt in taking part in the exa- mination and to represent the University, and hf wished to convey sympathy as well as congratulation There was nothing which appealed to his sympathy more than the case of a man who had workel h'u- given up a certain amount of idleness, and then, when the examination came, had failed. With such, he could assure them that from the bottom of their heart they extended their warmest sympathy (ap- plause). And he asked them not to be discouraged, but to show throughout the coming year that they intended to work hard, and then they would be well rewarded for all the disappointments received. Others perhaps were disappointed in another way those whose names appeared in the list might be surprised to see them there, and with them he expressed his gratification. He then pointed out that the report of the examiner in science and mathematics was ex- ceedingly favourable, his words with regard to chemistry being the work has been very well done, and I have been surprised and pleased at the uniform excellence of the answers sent up." A glance at the list would show that the work had been well done. As to the Divinity classes, which he examined last year as well as this, the work this year showed a decided improvement and a general strengthening, and especially was this noticeable in men of the first and third years. Before closing his remarks, as a representative of Cambridge University he offered his thanks to the Principal and board for the uniform kindness and hospitality which the examiners had always received from them, and more especially on this occasion. Words of sympathy were needed for St David's when they were losing their Principal (applause). The old universities were feeling their close connection with colleges scattered here and there, but they felt that connection more especially with a college that was losing its valuable and honoured head. They all felt that the promotion of one so distinguished was deserved, although it was to a position where his powers of administration would be taxed more severely in time to come but they felt that the same man who had proved himself so efficient in that place would prove himself quite as efficient in another place, and might yet be called to fulfil higher responsibilities in a higher sphere (loud applause). In thus expressing the thanks of the examiners to the Principal, he would like to couple the name of the Vice-principal and staff, which so well had supported him in what he had done for the college (applause). Mr Firth echoed the remarks which Mr Ryle had made as to the Principal and college staff, and in ex- pressing his sympathy with those who had failed in the examinations, he said he could do so all the more heartily because he had been ploughed himself (laugh- ter). He asked those who had come under their criticism to remember that the examiners in exercising their functions had endeavoured to temper justice with mercy, and whilst remembering the interests of the Lampeter degree had not forgot- ten the interests and requirements of the students (applause). He expressed great pleasure with all the work done by men in the third year. In the Church history the improvement was very marked. In Eng- lish history the papers showed some improvement on last year, but hardly so much as could have been wished. In the special courses he merely examined in the English history, and the results obtained were hardly so satisfactory as last year; still there was considerable promise in the work that had been done. Three years ago he was surprised to find such a reproduction of Oxtord college and Oxtord quad as he did at Lampeter, and when he came to enquire he felt, like the Queen of Sheba, that the half had not been told him (laughter). Comparing Lampeter with other local colleges springing up, they had great advantages and ought to secure success against great odds. They had a government by a Visitor and a board, and the amount of self-government almost amounted to Home Rule (laughter), which was enjoyed by no other of these local colleges. He also spoke of the advantages obtained by college residence, and said that he looked forward with the greatest hopefulness to the future of Lampeter, and he trusted that the success attained under the present Principal would be continued even after he was lost to them (applause). The proceedings were then terminated; and the Principal and those on the platform having retired, the college staff returned to the room, the greater portion of the audience also remaining to consider what form a testimonial to. Principal Jayne should take, and in respect to which the following memorial had been drawn up After seven years cf devoted labour in Wales, Mr Jayne has been called to the Vicarage of Leeds. To say that in that time the number of the Students has been doubled, the ssope of the College enlarged, and a flourishing School established, does not at all exhaust the services of Mr Jayne to the cause of Education and the Church in Wales. All friends of such work will agree that these signal services call for signal recognition. The last great undertakingof his Headship included the addition to the College of > large block of build- ings, and an appeal has been issued for .610,000. The Building is now being erceted at a cost of £ 6,650; furniture and apparatus will rpqnire at least £ 1,500 more and the scheme as spt forth cannot be fully realized till the whole £ 10,000 has been raised. With characteristic generosity Mr Jayne has made strong representations to us that no memorial weald be so gratifying to him as one whieh would perman- ently connect his name with the completion of the scheme in its entirety. < £ 5,000 has already been raised by the numerous friends of the College. Mr Jayne's desire and the object of the Memorial is to raise the remaining £ 5,000, and those who wish to express their admira- tion of him are invited to do so in this way. Provisional Meetings have been held and a. Grand Committee formed of the following Sub-Committees (with power to add to their number) (1) All the General and District Secretaries who have already worked so efficiently on behalf of the Building Fund. (2); General :-Colonel H. Davies-Evans (High- mead), Ven. Arcbdeacon Edmondes, and Rev J. Owen (Warden of Llandovery). (3) The College Board. (4) Resident Students Messrs Cole, Joseph Davies, Mathews, C. M. Jenkins, W. A. Lloyd, W. Roxburgh. (5) Non-resPent Members Revs J. F. Lloyd (Llanpnmpsaint), J. F. Reece (Llanfwrog), R. T. Jones (Pwllheli), T. Lloyd (St. Asaph), D. W. Mor- gan (Brecon), Godfrey Wolfe (Cardiff), Silas T. Phillips, (Brynmawr), Heber Thomas (Pembroke Dock), Geo. Griffiths, (Nantyglo) J. E. Dunn (Llan- frechfa), and Messrs 1. M. Evans (King's College, Cambridge), and Robert Williams (Merton College, Oxford. (6) Lampeter Town :—The Vicar, Messrs David Lloyd, (Peterwell), T. Edmunds, Roderick Evans,and J. LI. Hughes. (7) The College School :—To be formed. It is suggested that to supplement the invaluable labours of existing Secretaries, Local Committees, and Ladies' Committees should be at once formed throughout the country. All who dpsire to take an active part in the "Jayne Memorial" should com- municate with any of the above, or with the Central Secretary. Vice-Principal Davey was voted to the chair, and remarked that as the time was very limited it gave him great pleasure, in the absence of any lay gentle- man, to preside over that meeting, which had to do with the object brought before them in the pro- gramme, namely, to form some committee, or series of committees, to put in shape and in some tangible form a tribute of respect to the memory of Principal Jayne (cheers). He called upon Mr Feltoe, who said that he was extremely glad to have the opportunity of speaking there upon that subject; but they would please to pardon a rather confused and incoherent speech, because he had hoped that other people would bring this matter before them. Provisional meetings had already been held, where he had been appointed central secretary of the movement. He certainly hoped that they had not been acting beyond their proper duties, and that that meeting was in sympathy with what they proposed doing (applause). As soon as the Principal's departure was inevitable it occurred to him, and others among the graduates and under- graduates, that this was not an occasion for the ordinary forms of testimonials as a great friend and admirer of the Principal, he thought the only form a testimonial which was worthy of his greatness was one which continued his own work (applause). There was no doubt the meeting appreciated the great work Mr Jayne had done, not only for the college, but for the cause of education, and especi- cially Church education in Wales (applause). Speak- ing with all soberness, they could scarcely have done without him. Last Saturday week they held their first meeting to consider the circular, and at the end of a third meeting they had been able to bring out the circular in the form in which it was placed before them. They proposed to connect Mr Jayne's name with the new buildings, which were due to his energy (cheers), and the more funds collected the more definite, the more worthy, and the more deep- rooted would his connection with the place be. Sup- pose they collected funds sufficient to furnish the new buildings, found scholarships, and give prizes, then the connection of Mr Jayne with the college would be immortal, using the word "immortal" with due regard to human chances. He thought that would be a suffieient explanation on his part (ap- plause). The Rev L. T. Rowland proposed the first resolu- tion, and in moving it said that it was a matter of deep regret to him that they were going to lose the services of such a gentleman as the present principal of St David's Collego. They all regretted it very much but sinhis removal was inevitable, consi- dering the use.'ul and energetic work which he had carried on for the last seven years, the least thing they could do was to raise a memorial to mark their sense and appreciation of his services during those years (cheers). He thought that many of them would say that they would like the testimonial to take the shape and form of something which the Principal could carry away with him when he leaves the genial south for the tempestuous north but, feeling that the welfare of St David's College was before everything else, the Principal had decided to accept a testimonial only in the form of extending the work already commenced, and which had been carried for- ward so well and so far (applause). It might be new to some of them that some two years ago a sum of .£10,000 was asked for by the college board in order to carry out the extension of the college. They had something like .£5,000 in hand or promised, and now they appealed to the country generally, and in order to make that appeal more effective, general and local committees would be formed; but he saw in looking over the memorial since coming into the room that no ladies' committee had been formed. He thought there ought certainly to be a ladies' committee (ap- plause) He had had some little experience himself in building, and he could assure them that without the aid of the ladies he did not know exactly where he should have been that day; he thought most decidedly there ought to be and should be a commit- tee of ladies (applause); they would do more work than anybody else, and they might depend upon it that it would be the best committee to carry out this testimonial. The college had had some little expe- rience with regard to ladies' work in connection with this movement. He could name a lady who had already done a great deal of work, and she was pre- sent in that room, which would only show what they could do. All that was wanted was to take a little warm interest in the movement, and they would soon get up the = £ 5,000. He begged to propose that this meeting approves of a Jayne Memorial been started, and further that the memorial shall take the form suggested in this circular (applause). Mr Morris Davies, Ffosrhydgaled, said that Prof. Feltoe had asked him to second the resolution, and he accepted the position with a considerable amount of pleasure, and, he was sorry to say, with a little trepidation, because he did not altogether think that he was the fittest person to do so, as it should have come from the largest landowners in the neighbour- hood but Quarter Sessions prevented some gentle- men from attending, while others had their rent audits and other things to prevent their being present. However, he hoped they would forget his shortcom- ings, and it gave him excessive pleasure to second this resolution, because he had known Mr Jayne pro- bably for a longer period than any one else there. They were at school together at Rugby for about four years; he did not think they were ever in the same form together, for a very good reason-he did not expect Mr Jayne would aceept a lower position than the fifth form when he entered, and he very soon got to the sixth; but, although they were not in the same form together, Mr Jayne so acted that they as boys could not help forming a very high opinion of him, and they all knew how subsequent years had proved that opinion to be correct (applause). Having re- ferred to Mr Jayne's school life at Rugby, Mr Davies again said tha.t he seconded the resolution with some amount of trepidation when he asked them to carry out the wishes expressed in the memorial. It was no small matter to collect £ 10,000; but A5,000 had been obtained, so that it was only necessary to raise £ 5,000 mere. That was rather an extrordinary sum, but they must remember that Mr Jayne was an ex- traordinary man (cheers). It was an extraordinary thing to ask them to collect JS5,000 to commemorate Mr Jayne's stay at Lampeter, especially when he had been only seven years amongst them, but he ha.d done an immense amount of good for Welsh- men, 'and Churchmen in Wales, and the great burden was that they were about to lose him (applause). This was a large sum to collect, but if they set about the work in a certain way they would be able to collect it, and if they all worked with Mr Jayne's will it would be very easy for them to collect this < £ 5,000 (cheers). He urged them to try to do that. He would not keep them longer, but say that he deeply regretted the necessity for him or anyone else to move such a resolution as that. They were losing a great man, and he only hoped that- to use a hackneyed expression-their loss would be his gain (cheers). The Warden of Llandovery said he was speaking under some difficulty, but the greatest difficulty was to know what to say and what not to say on such an occasion as that. Speaking for himself and his old colleagues,he could not help saying that it was with a feeling- of the deepest regret that the connection of the Principal with the college was about to terminate (applause). But the best way to show their respect was to try to do as he (Mr Jayne) would do himself (hear, hear). He was quite sure, as was said in the third paragraph of the sheet before them-" Mr Jayne has made strong representations to us that no memorial would be so gratifying to him as one which would permanently connect his name with the com- pletion of the scheme in its entirety"—was just what all Mr Jayne's friends would expect him to say (cheers). He proposed "That this meeting pledges itself to do all in their power towards this object of collecting a sum of money to carry on the college in a manner that was worthy of its Principal" (applause). It was no use beginning to praise Mr Jayne in would be very wrong and an utter failure if he was to try to do it but he would say that the Principal had revolutionised Lampeter college, also that he was very much honoured throughout Wales—more perhaps than they in Lampeter had realised (applause). As to the form of the memorial, the best mark of respect after all to any man was to see that what he really wished to see done should be carried out, if they could manage it. It was a big sum, but it was nothing for the Welsh Church and thoae inter- ested in the Welsh Church (cheers). If they could collect £ 5,000 without this personal stimulus, he was sure that a great number of those who had contribu- ted would be influenced to contribute again to show their appreciation and personal estimation of Mr Jayne (cheers). He hoped that this meeting would pledge itself to ask them. Let them appeal to all who had an interest in the Welsh Church and education in Wales, and let them go to work one and all, and he concluded by expressing his feeling that they did not pledge themselves to any more than they would do (applause). Mr T. M. Evans, formerly of Lampeter, but now of Cambridge, said he felt exceedingly privileged to be allowed to second the motion, and they all felt intense enthusiasm when the name of Mr Jayne was mentioned (applause). They were not surprised, he was sure, to hear Mr Owen speak S8 highly of Mr Jayne, but they as graduates and undergraduates were far from willing that they should not express the hope that the work should be continued, aind that they should bring to a successful issue the grand task which Mr Jayne had proposed for himself (cheers). The collection of X5,000 was not much for those who had watched the educational movement in Wales-to those who had more particularly derived the inestimable benefit of counsel and advice from Mr Jayne, and those in particular, also, who have the interest and welfare of the Welsh Church at heart (applause). He was sure that the ball-to use an athletic term-need only be kicked off to be kicked right on to the goal. Speaking once again more par- ticularly for the present and past graduates of Lam- peter, they would do their very utmost to bring this matter to a successful issue, and they would do their best in their native parishes) to work with a will, as they had seen their worthy Principal work so hard and so successfully. The resolution was unanimously agreed to, and the meeting separated. Before proceeding to the luncheon the members of the Press were conducted by Professor Scott over the new building, which is fast approaching completion. This additional work has now become an absolute necessity there are about 130 students, and the need for increased accommodation is sorely felt. The new building, which will probably be opened about Easter next, will provide extra class rooms, laboratories, lecture rooms, and additional rooms for professors and students in residence. We were also pleased to learn from Professor Tout that during the past year grants of books have been made by the British Museum authorities, as well as 200 or 300 from the Lords of Treasury, and manuscripts and State papers. The luncheon took place in the lecture-room of the college, under the presidency of the Principal. The room was filled with guests and students, and the repast was in every sense a most recherche one.

Principal Jayne, in proposing the toast of the Queen and royal family, said that it was one that at the present time would tempt a person to speak at considerable length, and it was only the eircumstances of their gathering which prevented his doing so. Whether they looked abroad, especially to France, or looked at home, they saw active political life, which they firmly believed was quite consistent with the calm, fundamental principles of national life but whether they looked abroad or at home the toast was one which deserved no ordinary respect. But there were many things to speak of themselves and among themselves, therefore he would only ask them to drink the toast of the Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the rest of the royal family (applause). The Principal again rising, said the time at these gatherings was necessarily limited, therefore he would propose the next toast, which was that of the Visitor and the Bishops and clergy of the Principality (applause). Mr Examiner Firth had told them that morning that the college was particular fortunately in its system of self-government their college was governed by the college board, subject to the autho- rity of the Visitor. Mr Firth was hardly able to say, as he (the speaker) and his colleagues were able to say, how peculiarly fortunate the college had been in having as its chief legislator one who, in attending at other colleges, had had vast experience, and with- out going into details, or speaking at length, he felt bound, in the united name of the staff, to thank the Visitor most heartily for all the kindness, and all the care he had shown ever since he had been a Visitor to St David's College (applause). It was better to look back upon the week of years which he (Mr Jayne) had been associated with the college, and to remember that they had never had the slightest iota of differ- ence or serious divergence of opinion. He had con- stantly found in their Visitor one who was a guide, a firm friend, and just judge (applause). Addressing his lordship, he said that he would, he knew, wish him to say no more upon that head. One more word about the Church of the Principality. He was going away from the Principality, but he should let English- men know that the Church of the Principality was stronger and more progressive than they were apt to believe (cheers). He should not say that it was any- thing like a perfect Church—in the interest of the Church that would be the last thing they would wish him to say—but he could say that it was a Church which, in the teeth of difficulties little understood, was working successfully, and he believed would work still more successfully, and that during the years which lay before it it would make such increasingly good use of its opportunities that should any great affliction come upon it the evil will not largely lie at the doors of the present generation (cheers). He was quite sure that one of the weaknesses of the Welsh Church was a want of intelligent appreciation of its difficulties and its successes by their friends in England but the visit of the Archbishop of Canter- bury to Lampeter in October last was a pledge that that state of things was passing away, and would pass away more rapidly (applause). One more point, one of the principal causes of the secret of success in the Welsh Church was to be found in St David's College there (cheers). He would ask them to accept heartily and sincerely, and yet not uncritically, for they ought to be critical, the toast of the Visitor, the bishops and clergy, and those who are an essential pars of the Church-the laity (loud applause). The Bishop of St David's in rising to respond was heartily cheered. He said in rising to thank them, as he did very cordially, and not merely as a matter of course, for the honour which they had conferred upon him. and more particularly, as he was bound to say, the kindly terms in which his old friend the Principal had spoken of his connection with the col- lege, he, at the same time, thanked them for their reception of the more general part of the toast—the health of the bishops and clergy and the Church in the Principality. He must ask their permission to speak at perhaps greater length than he wished from the mere fact of the great number of thoughts which crowded upon him at that time. The Principal in his speech which he made in the hall in introducing the ceremony that morning referred very kindly to his (the bishop's) visit there that day, and was good enough to tell them that he had given up an engage- ment for the purpose of coming there, and he said rightly that it was a pleasure for him to come there (applause). Although he did feel a pleasure in being there, it was not altogether unmixed with bitterness, and he had not felt very easy in his mind since he saw on the platform at Pencader that morning three representatives of the Press, and he knew that he must make a speech to a large number of the highest I intelligences in South Wales (laughter). And a sad- der thought had come into his mind that day, namely, that this was the last time when they would be there under the presidency of the excellent Principal of St David's-. To that thought he would have to refer more at length. Might he s-ay with regard to his action as visitor, while he could not say the work of the visitor was altogether a sinecure, nor did he regard himself as a mere figure-head, since it entailed upon him from time to time a good deal of anxious thought; but in no single instance during the time he had held the office, either during Mr Jayne's tenure of office or that of his predecessor had there been anything approaching to a collision between the visitor and the authorities of the college itself (applause). He used the word collision in its widest sense. The visitor to St David's College occupied a peculiar position, very much more powerful than probably a visitor to any educational institution elsewhere, and throughout the last 12 years, during which time he had held the office, and during the last seven year.s, while Mr Jayne had been principal, when there had been a great deal going on, never had any difficulty arisen to mar the mutual relations of the Visitor to the college and the authorities (applause). For that he had to thank the unvaried kindness which he had received from the board of the college. Having expressed his gratitude in his own name and that of the bishops and clergy for their reception of the toast, he must be allowed to refer to the other thought which communicated itself why he should be there that day, namely, that it was the last time he should be welcomed there by the Principal. It was a matter of real personal grief to him that he was losing Mr Jayne as a neighbour and co-worker (cheers). The work he had done in the college was known to them all, but his influence upon those who had come out of college was best known to him (the bishop). He had sent out during the last few years he was unable to say how many of the alumni of this college, and the improvement of tone which marked them during those years was something most con- spicuous (applause). He had also to thank the Prin- cipal not only for the work done in the college, nor for the direct fruits to which he referred, but also for the indirect results upon the diocese at large. I He felt that it was an immense advantage to any dio- cese to have in it one man of mark like Mr Jayne (cheers). And for that reason he deeply lamented the separation from them, and his departure to an- other, he would not say more genial or more impor- tant, but a fresh field of labour. He had been run- ning over in his mind what had been done in the college during the last few years. Before Mr Jayne succeeded to the office of Principal, the college had been in existence for something more than half a century, with chequered fortunes—sometimes very prosperous, at others less so, but at the time Mr Jayne succeeded to the office, which had been vacated by his kind friend Dean Llewelyn, the college was in its average condition as regards numbers. Then, again, during Mr Jayne's tenure of office the college had considerably more than doubled its numbers, without counting the school,which opened up a large field to the college. Mr Jayne started with about 60 young men, which had now been increased to 230 or 240. It was distinctly the largest and most important educational college in the Principality, and certainly was one which ought not to be ignored. During the time Mr Jayne had held the office the regulations under which the college had been living, and which during the time he had referred to were in a somewhat fluid and uncertain state, but these had now been re- considered and codified. The college had also been brought into close contact with the great universities in Eneland, and of the colleges so united to these universities St David's had shown the largest amount of visible results of that affiliation. He believed he was right. The Principal said it was the only college which had shown any visible result. The Bishop then proceeded to speak of the work of the college. A large number of subjects had been introduced if they looked at the lists of subjects which the examiners had been examining in they would find a great difference to the state of thinsjs previous to Mr Jayne's coming. To speak of one thing which had seen that day for the first time, which was the introduction of musical eertificates. He might also be allowed to refer to another improvement in the working of the college, which he believed was largely due to the personal influence of Mr Jayne much greater attention had been paid to sports, pastimes and athletic exercises (applause). He was much atraid, and he hoped his countrymen would not con- sider him too much of a candid friend (laughter), when he said that the Celtic were rather given too much to !°™?i and anything which was calculated to dimin- ish that tendency was of the greatest possible import- a^.C,ei. was one of the most serious influences which a, young man could fall under, and he thought it would be an act of good manners and good morals it an Act of Parliament was passed to sew up every young man's trousers pockets (laughter). Another great result were the buildings in which they had i v.eir meeting that morning, and the still more valuable and beautiful building which was rapidly rising opposite the college front (cheers). He came back with increased pleasure each time to see that Duilding rising there, and he thought that indepen- dently of the great importance of the building itself, I I as seen through the trees it wa* one of the most charming bits of modern architecture that he had seen anywhere. Before he sat down he would I ask them to join with him in drinking the health of the College Board, and in particular that of the j Principal, who was, they all regretted, soon going to I leave them. He was sure that the goodwill, and the blessings, and the prayers of all of them would accompany him to his new field of work (applause). He looked forward, much as he deplored Mr Jayne's leaving them, to very great results from his going to the very im- portant sphere of duty which, he would not say Mr Jayne had chosen, but had been chosen for him, and he trusted to the Church at large, if it should so please God, in a wider sphere at some future time. They would all agree with him that the memory of Mr Jayne, though he had been such a short time among them, would not die out in that place while anyone remained there who recollected him, and for a very Ions' time after. But he had a very strong feeling that something should be done to place on record in some tangible form the memory of his con- nection with this place (cheers). He happened to know, though he had no legal knowledge, that that feeling was reciprocated, but he did not feel that he was authorised to speak on the subject beyond say- ing that if the feeling took some definite shape, as he trusted it might, it would have his most hearty sym- pathy, and, as far as he was able to afford it, his sup- port (loud cheers). The Rev Principal Jayne, who was received with great applause, and who was evidently deeply affec- ted, said that he wished to explain that he looked in a certain sense upon his future entirely from with- out. In the future vicar of Leeds he confessed that he had a certain amount of interest, but as yet he could hardly identify himself in that capacity, and he felt at present so completely bound up with the life of the college at Lampeter that he could hardly realise that he was going away at all. Perhaps he ought to explain why he was gsing. He was going for a variety of reasons, but he might venture to cor- rect the Visitor, as he could hardly say that he was going after such a short stay. Seven years of hard work was a considerable portion of a man's life. He was going partly because nobody had told him to stop, and he thought that those who had not told him to stop were right. He was going also because look- ing at it from a personal and domestic point of view the balance of the argument was in favour of going. He was going, also, because he really thought it would be best for the college ("No, no," "Question"). He was not asking for a compliment, but he wi-hed to explain. He was a distinct believer in frequent changes in the Church of England he thought they erred-of course there were connter-balancing ad- vantages on the other side-they erred on the side of fixity of tenure. It was very seldom that a man could be a witness of his own theory, and it was very seldom a man saw his own theory put to prac- tise. He was not at all sorry to be able to do that now. He did not mean to say that if it had been decided for him to stay that he would not have re- mained, but he believed that by a change they would be able to put new life, God helping them, into every part of the college system, and he believed that his successor would be able to see things which he had not seen, and he might be able to carry out things which those that were present could not have done. Therefore, he did believe that it was for the good of the college thathe should go. He might be allowed to touch upon what some kind friends had said— "When you have gone will there not be some danger of the college going down?" It was intended in kindness, but if it was intended as a compliment, all unawares they were paying him the worst compli- ment they could the worst compliment to pay a man was to say his work was merely personal. He knew instances where in some parishes a large and enthusiastic gathering gathered round some pious clergyman, only to drop away upon the removal of the man. That following being a personal one, it had broken up and the work had apparently fallen short. But in the new parish to which it was his privilege to be going there had been work carried on by a series of conspicuous men, and it had been built upon tho foundation of principle and organization (applausa). It was perfectly inde- pendent of the men who were from time to time at the head of it. He did firmly believe that the work done at Lampeter, not by himself alone, but with the kind and able co-operation of his colleagues and friends near and far, had a distinct life this work was destined to live and to deepen, and even if the period of rapid extension had passed by the period of rapid strengthening and deepening was near at hand. He also pointed out the great influence which the college school was likely to bring upon the college. If the college was not built on solid foundations then so far as the responsibility was his the work had been his. He was going away, but he could not regard it as a preferment or promotion, although he deeply esteemed the honour which had been conferred upon him in allowing him to carry on the work of those men who had preceded him; but he regarded it rather as a translation, and in going away at present his whole heart was at Lampeter (loud applause). He had been asked by his friends to commence the work at Leeds, but he felt that in the words of the old pro- verb, that he must Be off with the old love before he was on with the new''—and yet that was a com- plete misrepresentation of what he felt, for he hoped he would never be off with this old love (great applause). The Visitor had mentioned that there was to be a memorial given to him, and he would tell them that the best possible kind of memorial that he could contemplate was one which would tend to the carrying on of the works which he had had in hand (applause). In conclusion, he wished to express his deep and sincere thanks to the various classes of persons who had co-operated with him during his residence there. He would first speak of the college servants, of whom he thought most highly, and he should feel that he was going away from real friends. Then, again, he must speak of his neighbours. Their neighbours in Lampeter and all around had treated him and his with the greatest kindness, and it was a relief and pleasure to him to acknowledge this debt of gratitude. He must especially mention the citizens of Lampeter, who were so highly favoured in having such a foundation as that in their midst; many great cities and towns would rejoice to have such a foundation, and he would say to them, Do all you can to let the influence of the college authorities in the town live." There were influences, and there would be influences, so long as human nature existed, which would require constant care. The visitor had been pleased to speak of a possible memorial, and the only on which he could contemplate was one which would carry oat the works which the college authori- ties had already commenced (applause). He could conceive no more fitting memorial to any man than that the work of the institution with which be him- self has been connected should br* carried on to com- pletion, and the inhabitants of Lampeter.the Church- men of Wales, and Churchmen beyond Offa's dyke would now have an opportunity of doing so. He also referred to his collfagues. On the first occasion of his speaking in that hall he explained the system of the college working, and whatever work had been done was the work not of one, but of all putting their shoulders together. He must not mention this name or that, although he was sorely tempted to do so he must gather them together, and he thanked them all. He also thanked the students of the college, present and past, for their loyal co-operation. One word more, with regard to an unknown and unknowable person- his successor. He asked them first of all to remem- ber that the electors to this post were men of the higheat educational experience and of the most unim- peachable integrity, and they might rely upon it that they would and for St. David's College the vary best man they could. Secondly, when the choice was made Ihe might surely claim for those present and those friends of the college within and without, that they will receive the chosen man kindly, whether he comes from Scotland, England, or even Ireland (laughter) and support him. He concluded by again thanking them for the great kindness which they bad shown him (cheers). Vice-Principal Davey proposed The Health of the Examiners," this toast bsing responded to by Messrs Montague and Thompson, two of the examiners. Prof. Tout proposed The Visitors," Mr Fitz- williams, Cilgwyn, responding. Professor Scett gave "The New Graduates," responded to by the Rev J. F. Lloyd and Mr Cole, sen. scholar. This concluded the proceedings.

LLANDYSILIO-GOGO. CLERICAL MEETING.—A clerical meeting of the Deanery of Glyn Aeron was held at the above parish church on Wednesday and Thursday week. As the weather was most delightful, Church people from New Quay, Llanarth, Llangranog, and other neigh- bouring places availed themselves of the occasion to visit the place, so that the large edifice was crowded almost to suffocation. The services were ably con- ducted by the neighbouring clergy, and effective ser- mons were delivered by the Revs J. Jones, Llanfi- hangel-ar-Arth; W. R. Williams, St Paul's, Llanelly; -Hughes, Llandovery; T. Evans, Llansantffraed; and J. Williams, Llangeler. The meeting was pro- nounced in all respects to be the best of the kind ever held in the place.

LLANDYSSUL. BAZAAR..—A bazaar was held in a commodious suite of rooms known as the King's Head, in the above place, on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 15th and 16th. It was got up through the praiseworthy efforts of Miss Lloyd, of Gilfachwen, in aid of the funds of the new Canterbury Buildings at St David's College Lampeter, the foundation stone of which was laid by the Archbishop of Canterbury on the 15th of October. An undertaking having so worthy an aim needed only a leading spirit to initiate it in order to secure suc- cess, and Miss Lloyd met with a warm support from all the leading families in tke neighbourhood, under whose patronage it came off. All the stalls were very neatly put up, and a charming and costly collection of materials were displayed in such a way as could not fail to catch the eye and prompt the hand. The young ladies were very pressing on behalf of their innumerable drawings, and hard indeed must have been the heart which failed to respond to their soli- citations. Conspicuous in this department were Misses Davies, Verdre Misses Evans (2), Pentre Miss Ada Amphlett; Misses Jones (2) Penlan Miss Jones, Bangor Teify Rectory. Miss Lloyd, Gilfach- wen, held the refreshment stall, in addition to other stalls. Mrs R. M. Davies, Post-office, and the Misses Jenkins, Llandyssul Vicarage, and Thomas, Rich- mond House, also had stalls. The following ladies and gentlemen assisted in addition to those already mentioned :—Miss A. Lloyd, Gilfachwen Miss M. Lloyd, Pontllwni; Mrs Dr Evans, Llandyssul Miss Griffiths, Pentre; Miss Coldwell Miss Nicholl; Miss Jones, Trecastle; and Messrs D. Lloyd, Gilfachwen, Mr Moxley, Mr Amphlett, and Mr H. Hall, Llan- dyssul. Messrs Moxley and Amphlett were most active with their grand exhibition of works." Amongst the visitors to the bazaar we noticed:- Colonel and Mrs Lewes and Miss Summers, of Llys- newydd; Mr and Mrs Charles Lloyd, J.P., Waunifor; Principal Jayne and Professor Evans, St David's College, &c. We understand that a substantial sum has been realised.
