CARMARTHEN AUGUST FAIR. Neither the horse nor cattle department was nearly so numerously represented on Monday as in previous years, but. probably, the beary rains in the early morn- ing aooounted for this condition of affairs in no small measure. The horse fair prin- cipally oonsisted of heavy type animals. but the demand, on the whole, was slow, except for the beet sorts. Good carters, which were not numerous, made from X40 to £45, one animal making as much as JE48. Inferior animals of the cart breed made from £30 to £35, and some even went at lower prices than that. The best of the carriage and harness horses commanded from JE28 to £33, but there were plenty 'o of inferior type yearling colts, which were in good demand, selling at from JE10 to jB14 while some made even £ 18. Ponies and oobs did not make a good show, small ponies selling at £ 10 to £ 18, and oobs, for which there was a better demand, from £ 18 to £ 22. In the cattle department trade was any- thing but brisk at the following quotations: —Yearlings, £ 6 to £ 9; two-year-olds, £ 8 to JE12 10s; cows with calves (not numerous), X10 to EI5; fat bulls, 5d to 5id per lb. dead weight; fat cattle (very few sold), up to 6d per lb. dead weight The weather cleared up after noon, and the pleasure fair in the evening was largely attended.

CARMARTHEN PIG FAIR. Carmarthem August Pig Fair, which was not large, was held on Tuesday. Porkers realised 6s 9d .to 7s a. score, small cart pigs l88 to 22s each, and strong stores 35s to 45s.

SWANSEA HORSE FAIR. The Swansea Horse Fair was held on Wed- nesday, when the supply of horses was below the average—only about 60—and buyers were also few.

SEPTEMBER FAIR AT CANTON. This fair will be held on the 19th of Septem- ber, at Canton Market, as usuaJ.

The Cama.dian Government is forwarding rifts to England for distribution among certain officers of the British ship, Pass of KLlliecrankie, in recognition of their heroism in rescuing all but one of the crew of the Canadian schooner Penelope, which grounded on a reef off Vancouver Island during a. hurricane.

It filled several times on the way to the Penelope, whose crew were lasihed to the rigging, with great waves sweeping over them. Captain M'Aulay. of the Pass of Killie- crankie, has stated that it would be im- possible to exaggerate the heroism of the rescuing crew, whose difficulties and peril were extreme. The gifts consist of a. cup to the second officer, medals to the carpenter and boatswain, and JE2 each, to the others. MEDALS FOR LIFE-SAVERS.

OFFICER'S ADVENTURE WITH A BURGLARIOUS PANTHER. The Indian Mail" brings an account of an exciting panther hunt at Jubbulpore. Central India. Colonel Bundle, commanding the 5th Brigade Royal Field Artillery, at Jubbulpore, discovered that panuher had majtaged to get into his house and had fallen asleep in one of the rooms. TIe cloeed the door, removed the furniture from the adjoining room, sent for a brother officer, and then armed hia wife, a battery roughrider, and himself with rifles. Colonel Rundle first tried to shoot the panther in the room. Opening the door sufficiently to get his rifle round it he fired, and wounded tho animal in the stxSmacih. It sprang a.t ihe door, which rebounded open, ?nd Colonel Rundle bad just time to get behind a pillar when the animal dashed out. By this time Lieutenant M'Can had come up. and he and Colonel Rundle made a search of all the rooms, in one of w'hwh they found a large pool of blood before the mirror. which suggested that the animal had been looking at its reflection. Eventually the joor brute was discovered in a spare room, crouching behind some matting. Colonel Rundle decided to shoot it through the window, but ere a ladder to reach the window-fill could be procured the panther bolted out of the houso and across to the Royal Artillery mess compound. Lieutenant ];'Oa¡n fired twice at it, but yrisscd, and ere the animal was finally dis- patched in an outhouse it tried to chase a servant, but owing to :t.B exhausted oondition I was too weak to do him any harm. ■nrr*. 1 1 'jtiHg Are you run down?

ARMY MYSTERY. A COURT-MARTIAL AND ITS SEQUEL. In military circles ait Aldershot keen inte- rest is being manifested: n the case of Quar- termaster-sergeant Jordan, of the Army School of Signalling, who was court-mar- tialled and reduced, and who has just been reinstated by the War Office. Speculation is rife as to possible future developments. Early in the year Jordan complained to the colonel of a regiment stationed at Alder- ehot that a high officer of the Signalling School had given instruction that his (Jor- dan's) position was to be marie uncomfort- able for him. Jordan was court-martialled for making euch a statement and for repeat- ing it to others. He waa found guilty, een- tenced to be reduced to the rank of corporal, and transferred to the 4th Manchester Regi- ment. During his trial Jordan made certain further allegations against an officer, and the "War Office subsequently directed that a private inquiry should be held. Following on that inquiry Jordan has just been rein- stated in his old rank and transferred to Bulford Camp, Salisbury Plain. Tie official explanation is that "Jordaifs conviction by court-martial being quashed on technical grounds, he is restored to the rank which be lost by that conviotion; but he is not in his old commamd, and uot under the same commanding officer." Jordan, who served through the South African War, received the Distinguished Con due* medal, and waa mentioned in die- patches. &
