The Question of Health.
The Question of Health. Tha question of health is a matter which is sure to concern us at one time or another .when Influenza, is so prevalent as it is just now, so it is well to know what to take to ward off an attack of this most weakening disease, this epidemic catarrh or cold of an aggravating kind, to combat it whilst under its baneful influence, and particularly after an attack, for then the system is so lowered as to be liable to the most dangerous of com- pIlaints. Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters is acknowledged by all who have given it a fair trial to be the best. specific remedy dealing with Influenza in all its various stages, being a Preparation skilfully prepared with Quinine and accompanied with other blood purifying and enriching agents, suitable for the liver, digestion, and all those ailments requiring tonic strengthening and nerve increasing properties. It is invaluable for those suffer- ing from colds, pneumonia, or any serious ill nes;, or prostration caused by sleeplessness, or worry of any kind, when the body has a general feeling of weakness or lassitude. Send for a copy of the pamphlet of testi- monials, which carefully read and consider well, then buy a bottle (sold in two sizes, 2s 9d and 4s 6d) at your nearest Chemist or Stores, but when purchasing see that the name "Gwilym Evans" is on the label, stamp and bottle, for without which none are Manufacturing Company, Limited, Llanelly, genuine.

. Welsh Pony and Cob Society.
Welsh Pony and Cob Society. The annual meeting of the Welsh Pony and Cob Society was held at the Boar's Head Hotel, Carmarthen, on Friday the 9th inst., when there were present: ALr Cbas. Coltman Rogers, Stallage Pailk, Brampton Bryan, Radnorshire (in the chair) ;*Mr Me.uric Lloyd Detlfryn Mr Pughe, LlanfviHin. Montgom- ery Mr W. Vincent Howell Thomas, Car marthen Mr John Francis, Myrtle Hill'; Mr David Evans, Llwyncadfor; Mr John Jones, Plas, Feiryside; and Mr J. R. Baehe (the secretary). Several letters of apology for absence were read. ANNUAL REPORT. The Chairman presented the annual re-poit as follows:—"In presenting the annual re- port. the Council while noting and resett- ing the falling off in aggregate entries, the Society is most assuredly making progress in those directions it set ituseiff out to follow We would call attention to the fact that a good many names have to be withdrawn from the list of membership owing to the non- payment of the annual hubieription. We can only say that as no instruction from these members has been received of their wish to withdraw, that if they v. ill write to the Secretary and express a wish that their! names should be re-instated and that theyj are willing again to become members of a society which has done its best in the past and hopes in the future to do yet more for the furtherance of the interests of agricul- turists within the Principality; lie will have their names re-instated. It decidedly re- quires more personal interest of the Council and members of the Society to make it a greater success, which it thoroughly deserves and members^ and others are urgently re qaented to make every effort, in season and out of season to bring the Society ,I.Hfore the notice of the public, and so induce them to join and also enter their stock in the Stud Bo; k. there are hv.ndreds o- rood ponies on the mountains and hills in Wale? and the Border Counties that should be looked up and registered, and come means sboidd be tliought out and devised for this pur.ose especially no" the Foreign and Colonial buyers are seeking registered stook which doubtless is on the increase. A large nr.imber of buyers are continually writing and making enquiries where registered cobs and ponies are to be secured. We would again point out tli-,t only ponies registered with a number in foil are sought after and required by these buyers, and ponies eligible for entry only is an insufficient recommendation in. the eyes of many, and they will not look at or buy anything that is not rcfjsitered in our pages. On the qae ition of foreign duties, and an amelioration of the system under which our exported ramies are allowed to land in the United States it. is premature to speak length, the question is so to speak "sub jiudire." iMr Chas. Coltman Rogers (of Stanage Park) has been requested to go to London for the purpose oT giving evidence before a Departmental Committee, appointed by the President of the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, to enquire into and if possible diminish the causes which adversely effect the exiport of live stock into the Colonies and other countries. We have great reason to know that if the result of this enrruiry is a diminution of the duties and difficulties of, selling our ponies to go to America^ that large sales wi 11 probably be effected to American buyers. If this is the case, the question will at once be raised of closing our book to anything but the produce of regis- tered stock. Indeed this may be a condition imiposed upon us by the United States authorities at Washington, under these circumstances the owners of good mountain ponies will bennaible to sell to these mar'kets any unregistered "however good otherwise" ponies. It. is a. pleasing fact to state that a large number of ponies have been shipped to U.S.A. during this last yea.r and some to Australia and Canada. Mr G. C. Brown (president of the American Weilsh Pony and Cob Society) has very recently bought and shipped to U.S.A. about forty ponies of the smaller type and other buyers are busy in the market securing others of a similar char- acter. -r Clias. Coltman Robers as in pre- vious years arranged classes for Welsh ponies, both at the London (Polo Pony Show-, Islington), and the Royal Show at Liverpool! It was at first contemplated that there shouikl be Classes for ponies of Part I. and Part II. Section A. namely for 12 hands ponies undecked, and 12.2 ponies docked or undooked, but this fell through, the (guar- antee money was only found to be forth- coming for the first of these classes, and on these conditions only was it given, conse- quently there were only two el a is-es at each of the shows. However it is a source of con- gratulation to us that our Welsh Breed made a good appearance at these shows, and our thanks are due to Chas. Coltman Rogers tor making these arrangements, also to the subscribers for enabling him to do so whose names are as .I,rs H. D. Greene, Lord Lucas, Sir Walter Gilbev. Bart, Mr D. D a vies, M.P., and Mr C. Venables Llewellyn LP.. and to whom we tender our most grateful! tb.nnik«. Tt was generally admitted that these Welsh Pony Classes at both shows were a great attraction and very much ad mired by the public, the quality and per- formance of the animals being eveiytiling to he desired, and onr Itope for the future is that we shall see more classes and larsier entries, which wouild be one of the best pos^ble advert,iesments for our ponies. The entries for Volume IX were as follows:— Sertion A. Part 1: 9 stallions, including o re-entries, 133 mares, including 22 re-entries. Section A. Part 2: 14 stallions, 83 mares, including 3 re-entries. Section B. 8 stallions 2 mares. Section C. 9 .stallions, 21 millu-1, including 1 re-entry. Section D: 3 stallions, 10 mares, iminding 4 re-entries. The Secre- tary wishes to thank those gentlemen who have assisted him in any \ï ay." The Chairman in moving the adcpticn cf the report said that when he gave evidence before the Departmental Committee of the Board of Agriculture & Fisheries, they went into the question of import duties on stocik, cattle, ponies, and everything else, and he aiiub 1H;), aojicpad >pa(j} pxi pip Jar enough back. He was cross-examined on this point, and he said that their pedigre- s did not go back far enough. If they could show animallsin their stud-book that had registered foa's three crosses back, they wouild get a very much better and easier tale for them in America, and also get the £ (j import duty taken off. A very confusing question had arisen with regard to that duty in America, and there was a certain round about way of getting Welsh ponies into America and then getting the import re- fuuded. It th y toi k a pony into America and said they w er6 going to get the pony's name inserted in the* stud book o; the American affiliated brnach of the Wel'sh Pony and Cob Society, they could get back the import duty paid on the animal. He gleaned that information epiite accidentally when he had a enoversarion with an Ameri- can buyer. That shoved a very bad state of things, and surely their se/aetary (Mr Hac-he) should have bee i sent that informa- tion, and he also thought the Board d Agri- culture should have had notification. As a society it ought to b? able to protect it- self against having any fraud practised on its members 'by dishonest dealers, or uiifcru- pulous men whocoulld get up a bogus regis- ter. He thought they should a resolu- tion something like the following: "That wv put in our next volume a back-register of authenticated sire sand dams that appear in our pedigree list of our registered stock, living previous to date of publication ef the firet TO!nine of our stock book." The report was then unanimously adopted, and the chairman formailly moved the above motion. Mr Meuiri" LIonl thought it would be a go .d thing if they s -t to work to carry out the propcsil. Mr Del. Evans saiel the society was too young for the closing oi' the stad bcek, as there were a Hot outside yet. Ilr Pughe seconded, and remarked what a number of sellers they met at fairs and else- where who could not teill them anything about the Weslh ponies and cobs they had for sale. It was difficult to trace the pedi- gree, but they ought to do all they could in that direction. The Chairman observed that it would he a very Igcod thing if they could get more American buyers distributed about the country. The motion was carried, and the Chair- man, Mr .Meuric Lloyel. and Mi Dd. Evans were appointed a committee to draw up the back register. WHAT IS A WELSH PONY? Mr Vaughan Davies had written to say it would be a good thing if they could define what a Welsh pony really was. He thought 22222—WeVli Pony and Cob Society. cups offered at shows for Wesih ponies should not go to a ra.rkney as he had seen it. What was the difference, he aiked, between a Welsh -ponv and a Mountain pony? The Chairman said that they could not go into such controversial matters then. PREMIUMS OR SUBSIDIES. The question was discussed as to the Society's claim for a grant under the Development Act. Mr Vincent Thoma's said that all they could do was to suggest to the Commissioners that something should be done to assist the Welsh Pony and Cob Society (hear, hear). The idea down there was to improve the stock by getting good hull: boars, and sires, and they might suggest that tome pony and eClb sires be purchased to travel the district. There was an official of the Board of Agriculture at the Hunters Show, and he was very anxious to know how the money under this Development Act should be spent. In West Wales they favoured the Irish live stock Scheme. i-Ntr Futghe said it was a splendid sugges- tion and it wioukl the a most exceHent thing to have really good ponv and cob sires tra- velling. Farmers would not take the trouble to send their mares to good sires. The Chairman said that they might ask for premiums, or it might be done by sub- sidising. Mr Vincent Thomas said they might adopt the scheme now in vogue of giving premiums to thoroughbred sires to travel certain dis- tricts. SJlILL OPEN. The question of the advisability of dosing the stulh book was next considered, and the Secretary called attention to a mis-descrip- tion of the Welsh Pony and Cob given in a publieatioon of the Board of Agriculture. Mr Pughe thought that the Secretary should refer the Board of Agriculture to the description, given in the Society's book. Mr David Evans stiid that the stud book should not the closed. If they closed it now tney would spoil many ponies. The Charmaii said that people were very slow in and it was just as well they should know that the closing of the stud book was in serious contemplation. It would hurry them up considerably. The Secretary said that they ought to see the people personally. They could write their fingers off without getting any reply (laughter). On the motion of Mr Vincent Thomas, it was decided not to close the stud book for the present. THE SECRETARY AS JUDGE. The meeting next discussed the advisability of the Secretary (being allowed to judge at shows a'boiiit which there appeared to be a diversity of opinion. The Chairman said that the Council saw no reason why he should not he allowed to judge. Mr Dd. vans: Where can we get a better P Mr Pughe said Mr Bache was an excellent judge, and a very fair one, and it would be a great mistake if he was dropped as a judge simply because he happened to be secretary of the Society. Mr David Evans said that if lie iv-,is Mr Baehe lie would throw up the secretaryship and go judging (laughter). The meeting was unanimously of opinion that the secretary should be allowed to con- tinue jndlging at shows. CUPS FOR WELSH COBS. Mr Pujghe said that lie did not think they as a Society were justified in voting sums of money for prizes at shows for Welsh cobs and ponies, and then for these prizes to go to pure hackneys. At the Welsh National Show j hackneys were allowed to compete in classes headed "Welsh Cobs and Ponies," and there was no doubt about it that for looks the hackney would heat the Welsh cob. He mentioned it at a meeting of the Welsh National, and they asked why the Welsh Pony and Cob Society did not- take the ques- tion up? He would like to. suggest that if they were to have classes for Welsh cobs that they obouM be shown -with feather iiii- iplu/dked. Very Ifew hackneys had any feather at all, but it was one of the charac- teristics of the Wellsli cob. Mr Baehe said it was impossible to give! the Welsh cob a prize when mixed up with good English hackneys. Mr Meuric liloyd said it was the same thimg in the pony dlasses. Hackney ponies were also shown there. Mr Vincent Thomas asked why did not the judlges in Welsh pony and col) classes make the animals canter? The hackneys could not canter. When he judged and the class was for cobs, he always asked them to canter (hear, hear). If they could not, then they were no good. The Chairman: This cantering idea is a very excellent one. IMr Pughe moved that in future money he offered at shows for Welsh ponies and cobs only; and further that the judges he re- quested to see that in riding clashes the ex- hibits were made to canter. Mr J. Jones seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously. WEIGHT OF SHOES. Mr Meuric Lloyd called attention to the rule passed with regard to the weight of the shoe of a mountain pony, hut at Llanelly he saw ponies very much overshod. It was rrdieulous to ns's rules if they were not carried out. The heavy shoe only induced ponies to imitate the hackney in picking up their leg?, whereas the Webb ponies sent out straight from the shoulder. Tt was pointed out it was the duties of the steward to see that the ponies were shod with shoes of the prescribed weight, and it was dee d d to caill attention to this matter, and request judges to disqualify any animals over shod A vote of thanks to the chairman, pro- j po-ed soy Mr Pughe, and carried with! acclammation, concluded the meeting.

SHOW SAID '10 BE TOO RESTRICTED.
SHOW SAID '10 BE TOO RESTRICTED. A letter was read from Mr R. Stratton, of Ihe Dylfryn, Newport, stating that he fell bound to pro [wise that the Shorthorn Society prize now offered at the United Countie: Society be offered el ewhere, where the com- petition was less restricted. He did not thTnk that the Society were entitled to charge any entry fee ior this olass. The Secretary siid that lie had replied ex- pressing a iiope that Mr Stratton would not move that the prize be withdrawn from thi- show. The Rev R. Ci. Lawrence asked if the U.C.A. Show had not been open for a time to South Wales and Monmouthshire. What had been the result. The Secretary said that when the show had III(Y"n open to South Wales and ALon- mouthshre they had received a good many more entries. But the result as far as sub- scriptions were concerned was very unsatis- factory. The other counties had taken more out of the show than they gave. AN OLD DISPUTE. A letter was read from Air Griffiths, Plur- ality^ asking why he elid not get Lord St. David's euip for 1909—for the best Black heast in the yard of the sex opposite to the iiaintr of the Llandavke cup. Winners of any other of Lord St. David's prize were excluded, a.nd they found that "Duke of ^onnaiuight" had been awarded his lordship's cmp at the Haverfordwest show. The Secretary said that the first was the property of 'Messrs Davies. Thomas and 's Ho wells, and the second the property o>f Mr Yorke. Neither were eligible to compete for the cut? according to the conditions. The Council of the Society had awarded the cup to Mr Thomas, of Bwlcbgwynt. for an exhibit which .came next in merit, but it appeared that this ¡})i¡! never entered the ring, mul its number never appeared in the s'ip l ock. IN[i- D,d. Eva,i, If the animal was not in the ring, he not claim the prize. 1 might say that I had an animal at home which would have Avon the prize had it been e. there. The Chairman He was at the diow, but not in the ring. The Chai rman said that if they were satis- iied that the Comneil of the Society when coming to their previous decision were not aware of the if act that the animal belonging to Mr Thomas did not go before the judges, the present meeting would be perfectly justified in reconsidering it The Rev R. G. Lawrence moved that Air Thomas, liwlchgwynt. be asked to return the cmp as it had been awarded Hncler a mis- apprehension. This proposal was carried nem. con. PROPOSAL TO RFJJIOYE FROM CARiAlARTHEN. The Town Clerlk of Carmarthen (Air Jas. John) wrote asking the Scciety whether they could arrange to hold the show in September as the Eisteddfod l*a,vi!lion would remain in the Paik until the end of August, 1911. Airs Ca.mpbci'l Davys wrote enclosing her subscription and expressing a hope that the Society woulid next year make the pony Classes more atttractive. They were quite a feature at the Welsh National Show at \[)eTYlst i t h. iMr .Aiongan Richardson wrote that every- thing now pointed to the Society trying its luck elsewhere. It was in accordance with their original plan to hold the alter- nately in the three counties. He thought that it might be made more popular and more useful if by making the experiment they proved that it was not an exc-lusivuiv Car,marthen institution. Why not let it ha known that they ii-,ei-e open to an invitation —the conditions, being a suitable site the transfer of sOlme local society's subscription lIst tfor the year. and a goa ranteed gate. It mirght be agreed that as they had a Carmar- tilenisilil-e president, this should be a Car- marthenshire year; but they claimed Sir James HiHs-Johnes as belonging not to Car- marthenshire hut to West Wales generally. The Chairman asked what was the gate money this year. The Secretary said that it was t77 odd this year. Last year it was C73. In 1908 it was tlöl in 1907, £ 135; in 1906, £ 119; j 1905, £ 136; and the other previous years showed as follows: £ 168. £1-12. £135,£145. The Chairman said that it was evident tint they had been going elow n since 1908. ^3" F. D. Saunders said that tliev took £ 3< 10s at Llandeferlog. The Chairman said that they had to do to make the show more attractive. ■Mr W. Vincent Howell homas: The far- mers do not patronise it. The Chairman: They think they know everything now. Air W. Vincent Howell Thomas AVe have too many of these small shows. vii- Saunders: AVben the show was started it was the intention to move it every vear. The Secretary said that that was the original intention. 'Mr Saunders: Why not carry out the orig- inal intention. There appeals to be a diffi- culty about gettinlg the Park. This appears to be a suitable time, if ive get suffieient money to guarantee us against loss. 1 W. H. Thomas: Where would you go r Air Saunders: AVherever you get the most money. .J,ll,eA: I discussed the matter with Air Yorke. He rather favoured Fish- guard. He said that he believed the Society there would hand over the subscriptions for the year. We msut do something to attra-t the shillings; nine out of every ten who came to the show take no interest in the animals that are exhibited. They came there for a day's outin.g, and they want something to excite them. If we had an aviation meeting we mught have lots of people these. Butter- m lj1" AVO,l'd brinig some people, and so would a poultry show or a dog show. '^Ir J. F. Rees: Sheep dog ii-iils"tal;.e very weill.

Carmarthenshire Education…
Carmarthenshire Education Committee. The monthly meeitng of the Carmarthen- shire Education Committee was held at the County Offices, Carmarthen, on Thursday in last 'week under the presidency of the chair- man (Air D. Evans. Manordat). There were also present: Mrs Lloyd, Llanelly: Air Alervyn Peel, Danyralllt; Air W. X. Jones, Tirydait; Col. Alorris, Ammanford; Pro- fessor D. E. Jones, Carmarthen; Air John Peny.bank; Air II. Jones-Thomas, Penrhos; Air W. J. Thomas, Glantowy; 1W U. H. Jones, LlangendeirneAll C. E. Alorris Carmarthen: Mr Ben Evans, Peneader; and All* J. 1.1. Thomas, Pontardulais; together with the Clerk Or J. W. Xicholas); County Architect. (Mr AY. Vincent Alorgan); Educa- tion Clerk (Air Grant); Financial Secretary (Air P. Pearce); Supt. of Attendance Officers (Air Joseph Alorgan). AlBDlCAL INSPECTION. A letter was reael from the Board of Edu- cation asking. if the authority had recon- sidered their arrangements, for the medical inspection of children in connection with the appointment of a county medical officer of health, and the Cieik stated that he had written to tell them that a county medical officer was going ta. 'be appointee very soon. GARNANT SCHOOL. The Clerk read several communications with regard to the site of the proposed school at Garnant, and it appeared that Lord Dynevor was not now repared to sell the first site offered. An interview had taken pnace .between the committee, the ratepayers liiul the Hon. W. F. Rice, but nothing satis- factory was arrived at. and the inhabitants afterwards held a meeting at which the com- mittee were urged to take steps to get com- 1)iJ>)ry powers. However, he had since re- jpii-ed a letter from Air Lewis Bishop, Lord Dynevor's agent. in which ho slated that it te dangerous to continue operations in the neighbourhood cf the site asked for, owing to the minerals being SJ close to the surface. His. lordship trusted this was not the case, and he had called for a full and detailed report. He hoped until this infor- mation was to hand the committee would not niov e in the matter and go to any unneces- sary expense. < It was decided not to take any action until the report was received. NO ACTIOX. A letter was received from a number of parents petitioning the committee to build a trjw s.'hoool at Pantyb-vlch, Penboyr. The childen had now nearly three miles to walk to school, and many of them unable to make regular attendainccs. No action was taken. BAD LIGHT. Col. Alorris called attention to the bad light in the Ammanford schools. The managers held their meetings there, and were almost unable to see each other. They ouiy had an oil lamp. and he suggested that the schools slwuM be ilit with electric light or gas. It. would be cheaper than the oil they burnt now. Air Alervyn Peel said that it would not take long to wire a building if it was near the c lble or generating station. Co' Morris: AA e have three schools at Amuranlord all near the generating station, and not one has electric light. 'Mr W. N. Jones gave notice that he would move a motion in regard to it at the next meeting. DYNAMITE AS A PEALEDV. The Architect said that the cost of ventil- ating Llanwinnio School would be £-13, and there was no alternative scheme. The Chairman: I said before that the best thing we can do is to put dvnamite under it and blow it up (laughter) and then build a new school. AV X. Jones: Why don't you propose that instead of suggesting it (laughter). I wouldn't mind seconding you. ° The Architect's report was adopted. SITES. Ihe Committee appointed to purchase a site for the proposed new school at Gwen- draeth. recommended that one be bought for £80. and a chool. built to accommodate '250 children. The site half an acre in ex- tent. They also recommended the purchase oi a site at Ponthenry, and to build a school to accommodate 200 children. The report w as adopted. EXHIBITIONS. The Clerk stated that Eric Walker. of the L1 inelily Intermediate School, and Alarv Hannah James, of the County Girls School Carmarthen, were top in the examinations with 3.10-j, and 2,666 marks respectively. Jmey were, therefore, awarded the two County Exhibitions, DEVELOPMENT GRANT 1 "ïth regard to the proposed scheme for, the development of exten oon work in agri- culture ° Alt* Alervyn Peel said that 11 they joined with other counties for the Aberystwyth scheme, it was stated they would possibly be liable to get less in reply to their request j lor a grant for their roads. He did not think so. Undoubtedly a number of counties wouikl join, and dicy would get something, and why should tley not join in in the hope of getting a share of it. He did not think it woii'ld interfere with their application for a grant for road devel la- ment. ■Mr J. Tliomas said that the revenue came from two distinct Sourc," so one would not effect the other. The fthainnan thought they had better be careul in taking joint action jast now.. If they dul they might lose a considerable amount of control over the funds given them. He thought they had better give it more lengthy consideration, and get a report from the cleik. Air Peel: I quite agree. Air John Lloyd said that he was in favour (Jlf joining Aberystwith as regards technical education. It was. agreed to defer the consideration of the report until the next n.eeting. CAIAIARTHEX SCHOOL OF ART. Mr Gaunt presented his report on the he had had with the managers. of the t armarthen School of Art on the 7th ult. to uiscus-; the question of the future manage- ment the school. Air John Lloyd presi- ded am. there were present: Air T. E. Bri<r- <oec.ke. Air l.\ A. Broekie, Air Walter Spurrelll, and Air A. R. Davies (secretory). It was pointed out that now there were no sii »s. i iliei s to the school, which was main- tainedby a grant from the County Counril and grants earned, and that being so the subscn-ubers could not appoint 25 mana,gerrs. After some discussion it was agreed to recom ment to the County Council that the mini- tlm q members to act on the management ;f t, pSi-°f ;ro!be 25' the Co,1,lty Couneil lect 16 and 9 co-opted members repre- senting the trustees.
