WELSH PONY SOCIETY.
WELSH PONY SOCIETY. A meeting of the Council of the Welsh Pony and Cob S >ciety was held on Firday week at the Royal Oak Hotel, Lampeter, Mr J. Marshall Dugdale (president) in the chair. The following members of the Counoil were also present-Sir Marteine Lloyd, Messrs 0. C. Rogers (chairman of the Rad- nor County Council), H. Meuric Lloyd, Glan'ran- nel; Evan Jones, Mahoravon; J. R. Bache, B. Davies, J. Jenkins, Llancrwys; D. Lloyd Lewia, Professor T. Parry, and Mr James Earner (Secre- tary).—The preceedings were private, but we are informed that it was decided to offer medus at local shows, as well as apeciat prizes, amounting to £30. At the close of the Council meeting, a public meeting was held under the presidency of Sir Marteine Lloyd, who, in his opening remarks, said tha.t it was an excellent idea to have a public meet. ing in the county wnich was so celebrated for its cobs and ponies. Mr Marshall Dugdale who was called upon to ad. drets the meeting, said he was glad to find that the Chairman was so interested in Welsh cobs and ponies. It was a source of pleasure for him to join in any endeavours to improve the breed of the Welsh pony. The society, he was pleased to saj, had nothing to do with politics, aud was only for the good of cobs and ponies—(hear, bear)-and everyone connected with the society had shown their personal interest in the work by t',eir self- sacrifice. Most of them that day had come from long distances, in such ba.d weather, to attend the meeting at Lampeter, which was one of the most important centres. Referring to tha Council, he said that tho members were decidedly unanimous in their efforts te improve and increase the well- known breed. If anything hlJd justified the forma- tion of the society; it: was the South African War, when nothing wasfound to do better Hervice than the cob and of the cobs, the Welsh cob (hear, hear), It had been asked why they had not joined the Polo and other societies, in order to make one united, but he believed in calling things by their proper names (laughter). He believed in Welsh cobs and Welsh ponies, and it would increase their market value by having a separate society. The stallions of the past were probably better than at present, and it was also true that the mares were not what they used to be. Farmers had undoubtedly been compelled to sell their best mares in bad times, but to do so was practical suicide, for the mare was a great help and value to the farmer in atl times. The Society wanted the farmers to keep their mares for breeding and to employ good sires and not weeds." They should not consider whether the fee was a couple of guineas, a guinea, or ten shillings, but to take the bsfct—one that would not bring foals worth nothing. Even the farmers of the smallest holdings could help the Society by doing this. The Society had now a stud book, which, despite the opposition of certain people in Wales, was a marvellous success. There were no fewer than 800 entries in the first Tolume-a most satisfactory reault-and this had been done in a short time. The value of it, from a business point of view, was that anybody who wanted to buy Welsh e-.1." and ponies, whether in England, Sooth A i or South America, would know where to tiad them, for the book oontained the names of the farmers who bred the stock. They had one large supporter in South Africa, who was in charge of one Of the Government breeding farms. He was already receiving Welsh ponies and cobs for cross- breeding with the South African breeds. This was a tremendous chance for Welsh farmers, and should act as an incentive to them in the future. The sbire, hunters, and carriage horses were expensive to rear, but the Welsh ponies, rf 11-2 or 12.2 hand, could be in the hands of anybody; for they c )uld be kept on next to nothiag. The Welsh pony was a little thoroughbred, he was a little lion, but he would live where most animals would starve. That was the kind they wanted to breed. In conclusion, the speaker said that the cobs were mostly wanted for remount, and moun- tain artillery, and Welsh farmers would benefit themselves and Wales by encouraging the Society Mr C. C. Rogers said he had heard that there was a large number of excellent ponies in Cardi- ganshire, but he was sorry he had not had an opportunity of i g them for himself. Those who were mostly connected with this Society, were more or less connected with agriculture, and they looked upon the Society not only as an inter- esting pursuit, but a'so as a commercial pursuit. The Welsh mountain breed had been extremely eurcessful, but they would have a certain amount of difficulty in continuing that brtod. He hoped that the farmers would offer their bol t so as to enhance the value of the ponies in future. They had great difficulty in getting many to join, but he felt that they were not advertising the Society in vain. Mr J. R. Bache (Knighton) said that his interest in horses was so much that the question of breed- ing the best shirea was always foremost in his mind. He feared that this had been greatly neglected in the past and be appealed particularly to Welshmen to encourage the Society. Mr Lloyd Lewis, Aberystwyth, said the farmers would be serving a coming generation by entering in the Stud Book. The time would come when the horses that were not entered would be of no value, but it was gratifying to find that there were so maay entries already. It would be discouraging, however, if the entries in the second book, which was forthcoming, would be diminished. Mr James Hamer said that there was a great deal to be done in the future by co-operation among the farmers, and one' of the beat ways ef co- operating together was to join the Welsh Pony Society. During the last six months the Council had received a circular from the Board of Agricul- ture asking for forty copies of the Stud Book to send to various parts of the world, so that it could be seen the Society was geing to be a success. At the elope of the meeting the usual votes of tkanks was passed. Several new members were enrolled.

THE EDUCATION BILL: MR. ALFRED…
THE EDUCATION BILL: MR. ALFRED THOMAS' AMENDMENT. To the Editor of the COUNTY TIMIS. SIR,—Mr Hu rnpbroys. Owen's defence of the County Governing Bodies demands further com- ment from the primary teachers' standpoint. Naturally I f-^i aiuoh anxiety as to the changes which are likely to be introduced into our schools under the new Education Bill, and in common with all primary school teachers, feel in duty bound to look after the interests of the children attending the Primary Schools. The constitution of the education authority in each county is of vital im- portance, and every fair minded person will agree that it is only right that all interests concerned should be properly represented on this authority which is going to have so much power delegated to it in educational matters. Most certainly the interests of the 7,668 children who attend the Intermediate should be safeguarded; but what about the interests of the 332,000 children who attendthePrimary Schoolsef Wales and Monmouth P The School Boards have hitherto looked after the interests of the majority of these children, but they are now to be abolished, whilst the Voluntary School Committees are also to be changed. Hence it is imperative that the new authority should con- tain men who are exparienced in the working of our schools and in sympathy with them. My impression is that the County Governing Body has been held up as an ideal education authority which contained proper representation of all educational interests including primary education. I have pro- cured all the county schemes which are obtainable at the publishers. Let us examine them aad see how these Bodies are constituted, and the result is as follows:- COUNTY. Representa- tives. Co-opted. I Total. i County Council. U mvorsity Coil-ges. County Scho'l Managers. Anglesey 13 2 15 8 2 3 Bteconshire 21 2 23 12 1 8 Cardiganshire 19 3 22 12 2 5 Carnarvon 29 2 31 16 2 9* Denbigh 22 3 25 13 2 7 Flint. 20 3 23 12 2 6 Glamorgan 18 2 20 13 2 3 Merioneth. 23 2 25 13 3 6t *1 School Board Member, 1 Voluntary School Managers. t 1 Primary Teacher, I daresay that the five covin'.y schemes which I have not been able to get are drafted (J1 the same lines, and I feel tsu- <• ,hat no reasonal' boa will maintain that the a ove show adequa r presenta- tion of Piimary Education. Why, two cases only is there the least attempt made at representa- tion. I purposely omit co-opted members because they ouly hold office during the pleasure of the elective body. I am told that I am inaccurately informed ItS to the result of repealing Sir A. Thomas's amendment and re-inserting the original clause. Well, I have closely studied the Bill, and followed its progress through the House of Commons, and I would rail attel ion to Clause 12, Section 6, which in the Bill real i bus: In Wales and Monmouthshire any r., "iJ Governing Body constituted under a scheme j in pursuance of the Welsh Intermediate Educu- tion Act, 1889, shall be the Educati <n Committee under this Act of the County or County Borough, un- less any other scheme is proposed by the Council. The trend of the subsection is quite evident. The County Governing Bodies without any mention of re-modellinn were to be the Education Authorities, unless the County Councils wished to abolish them. The option is there, but there was no movement on foot even to do away with this option. The attitude of many of the County Councils of Wales towards the Bill is well known, and as they do not with to have anything to d. with it, the County Governing Bodies would become the education authority by default, and this, to my mind, would be most unfortunate. Surely we can trust the popularly-elected County Councils to draw out schemes to carry on all grades of education in their counties. The religious f, ictiün" argument seems to me a very weak one, seeing that under the Bill the majority of the new authority will be members of the County Council as in the esse ef the County Governing Body, and in the minority there will be experts in education, including women, representing different interests. If any of those interests are at present unrepresented surely that is an argument far instituting & now body. Give me justice before privilege. The fact that from 70 to 80 per cent of the intermediate scholars coma from the primary schools is again a conclusive argument for the adequate representation of the latter, so as to secure some co-ordination in the work of the two grades of schools. I therefore firmly believe, sir, that the best (king possible was done for education in Wales by the deletion of clause 12 sec. 6 and the substitution of Sir A. Thomas's amendment, and this opinion is fully endorsed by the "Association of Welsh School Boards," which met specially at Cardiff on Nov. 25 to consider this question.—I ;-in, sir, yours faith- fully, W. STOCXTOM. President of Newtown, Welshpool, and District Teachers' Association. 8th Dec., 1902.
—I WELSH PONY AND COB SOCIETY.
— WELSH PONY AND COB SOCIETY. To the Editor of the COUNTY TIMES AND POST. g;rj—We trust you will be kind enough to allow Ufl, thronph the medium of your columns, to call t' Ueii i • .'i' your readers to the above-named g now in the second year of its existence. The first volume of the Society's Stud Book, issued last August, bears ample testimony to the excellent and much-needed work of the Council, contaiaing as it does 826 entries of Welsh ponies and cobs, and a membership roll of 250. The Council are work- ing bard to get an equal or greater number of entries for the second volume (for which entries close on January 3rd next), and they earnestly hope that all breeders will assist them by becoming members and entering their stock. As in the case of the Polo Pony Stud Book, Welsh breeders have already begun to realise the commercial value of having their animals entered in the Stud Book, in that whereas formerly they had no way of bringing- their stock before the notice of the public and the dealers except by private advertisement and by word passed from mouth to mouth among those with whom they came in contact, now all that the public and the dealers have to do is to refer to the Stud Book and note the names of those who are breeding the class of animal they want. To those already belonging tJ the society the Council would appeal to send further entries aad help on the society by getting additional members, and if each member would make it his business to get one or two of his neighbours to join, the success of the society would be greatly enhanced. The secretary is Mr James Hamer, Greenfield, Penybont, Radnor- shire, who will be pleased to send entry forms and any information required on receipt of a postcard. -Your" faithfully, J. MARSHALL DUGDALE, Llanfyilin. Members W. FORRESTER ADDIE, Welshpool. ?■ of the Ri. MORGAN, Newtown. ) Council. December 9th, 1902.

A seal weighing 651b. was shot in Conway ri-ver on Monday by Mr. F. A. Delamotte, the borough engineer. The stranger had been seen in loeft waters since Saturday, and on its i-e-appearalloo yesterday word was passed to Mr Delamo:te, whl} immediately procured his gun and getting into boat killed it with the first shot. The ltngfch o he seal was 5ft.. and the skin alone weighed over 101b. A large number of seals hare been seen 0 Carnarvon for some time, but this is the first to be shot.
