LLANEGWAD. On Saturday last, Mrs Bath had fixed in Holy Trinity Church, five brass memorial taMlx>te in memory of officers killed in the Great War, all being relatives of the family. The following day, the Vicar (the Rev Mr Hamer) conducted the service and suitable prayers and hymns were rendered on the occasion, and in the course of his sermon the Vicar very feelingly to the memorials which had been placed in the church. At the Parish Church in the evening, Mrs Gwvnne Hughes, Glancothi, unveiled a beautiful tablet, erected in memory of the late Vicar, and the i,ord Bishop dedicated it, as well as a, table erected by Mrs Hughes in memory of her father and mother. Afterwards the Bishop preached an excellent sermon to a very large congregation.

New Governor at Carmarthen Prison. MR DAVID JOHN APPOINTED. Mr David John, chief warder at Birming- ham, has been appointed Governor of H.M. Prison, Carmarthen, in succession to Mr J. Ball, who had retired from the service. Mr John is a. native of Carmarthen, and joined the service as a, warder in 1889. He was for some time at Brecon, and in 1897 was pro- moted clerk and schoolmaster at Nottingham. He was transferred to Carmarthen, and held the post of clerk and schoolmaster for 20 years. Some months ago he was appointed chief warder at Birmingham. His latest pro- motion his given great satisfaction to his native town, where he is held in high esteem. Mr John is a deacon of Tabernacle Welsh Baptist Church, and was for some years its secretary.

The Churches. The anniversary services at Zion Presby- terian Church on November 9th will be con- ducted by the Rev Richard Jones, M.A., of Llandinam. The harvest festival was held at the Eng- lish Wesleyan Church, Carmarthen, on Sun- day. The Rev J. A. Dickson preached.. There was a large congregation. Miss Davies sang the solo, "I will extol Thee' (Eli.) The service at Penuel, Priory street, on Sunday evening will be a special one, when the Lord Lieutenant (Mr John Hinds, M.P.) as Chairman of the Baptist Union of Wales, will deliver his Union address on "Religion and the New World," in place of the usual sermon. # The Rev D. F. Jayne, a Congregational minister, now resident at Carmarthen, has been accepted by the Bishop of St. David's as a candidate for holy orders. He is about to proceed to Llampeter College to prepare for his degree. Mr Jayne, who was trained at the Presbyterian College, Carmarthen, was a few years ago pastor at Griffithstown, Mon- mouthshire, and was later engaged on war service as Y.M.C.A. leader. The Rev J. Griffiths, B.A., B.D., has de- cided to return to his old pastorate at Am- manford, which he left a few months ago. He had accepted the pastorate of the Welsh Church at Llandudno, but owing to the im- possibility of finding a house in that town he decided, after one month's fruitless search, to resign. He informed the church of the reason or his decision, and said he was going back to Ammanford, where his old house was avail- able. The second of a series of meetings held in connection with the Lammas St. Chapel Young Peoples' Guild took place on Tuesday evening the 14th inst. The subject debated was "Should women receive the same rate of pay as men for doing equal work?" The affirma- tive was taken by Miss Gwen Jenkins, and the negative by Mr Lewis Davies, and both papers were of a high standard. Miss Jek-kins was ably supported by Mrs Dyfnallt Owen, Miss Evelyn Thomas, and Miss Davies, Glanyr- afon, wliilst Mr Lewis Davies's views were championed by Mr D. H. Jones, Mr Rhy- dderch, and several ministerial students. The President of the Guild (Rev J. Dyfnallt Owen, A.T.S.) presided. There was a large attend- ance.

» Poachers in Motor Cars. LATEST DEVELOPMENT IN TOWY DISTRICT. A meeting of the, Board of Conservators of the Towy Fishery District was held at Car- marthen on Wednesday, Major Dowdeswell, Llanstephan, presiding. A discussion took place on the prevalence 1 of poaching. Col. Lloyd Harries, Llwyndewi, said the procedure now was or four or five men to come down to the fishery in a motor car and spend a moonlight night on the river. Mr Mervyn Peel, Dtanyrallt, said poaching went on a great deal on moonlight nights in the summer, when the water was very low. It was very difficult for the water bailiff to be out on the rivers by day and also by night, but sometimes the night was the more im- portant time for them to be out. There had never been a prosecution for taking young salmon, yet it was going on regularly day after day. The Sergeant Water Bailiff Mir O. Legg) said the bailiffs did not pass a single fisher- man without examining his basket, but they had not found any salmon peel. Mr A. E. DuBuisson, Glynhir, said it was obvious that fishermen would not put young salmon in their baskets. They would conceal them in their pockets. Hhe Chairman said all oases should be re- ported to the Clerk, who would take action. Mr Mervyn Peel said at present they were, comparatively speaking, absolutely useless as ,a fishery board in the matter of protecting rivers adequately, because it was impossible for three water bailiffs to police a fishery of about 300 miles in extent. He urged the ap- pointment of a superintendent, and said that for the good they did as a board at present they might as well cease to exist. To in- crease the funds the Board would shortly have to consider the question of raising the price of licences. Mr Campbell-Davys, Neuaddfawr, objected to the price of licences being raised, and said they received little enough for their money now. He did not see that that board was doing anything to improve the fishery. "We should wake up," he said. "We ought to spend the money we have in hand for the benefit of the fishermen on the river. There are complaints. People who fish without licences in the day time are caught, but those who do the damage with spears and other in- struments by night are not." The meeting did not favour the appoint- mest of a, superintendent, but gave authority to the Clerk to appoint two additional water bailiffs at £2 10s per week each. THE SfIDAISON'S FISHING, Sergeant Legg reported tha,t rod fishing for salmon and sewin, and also trout fishing, were the poorest on record, for many years owing to the low state of the rivers. Net fishing for salmon and sewin was very good up to the last week in July. INCREASE OF OTTERS. Capt. D. G. Protlieroe, Glyntaf, Hebron, master of the Pembrokeshire and Carmarthen- shire Otter Hounds, wrote that he thought that the alleged large increase in the number of otters was much exaggerated, as he had genuine information that wholesale trapping had been going on, and that as many as a dozen otters were caught on one river.

Tenby, who should have been visitors to Carmarthen Park on Saturday, being engaged in a League match, a maitch was arranged against Felinfoel in place of the fixture aban- doned owing to the railway strike. #*# A large crowd gave the Quiins a. hearty welcome as they emerged from the grand stand, led by the captain (Lieut. C. Davies), and after their recent victory at Llandovery it was confidently anticipated the Quins would add another victory to their list by defeating Felinfoel. The teams fielded as follows:— IIarlequjns-Dack, T. H. Jenkins; three- qurters, E. Lewis, Victor Davies, A. Morgan, Cliff Jones; half-baeks, J. J. Lewis, Ira Jones; forwards, Chas. Davies (Captain), j Walton, O. Jones, J. W. Jones R. Williams, | W. J. Hrries, T. Evans, Metcalfe. Felinfoel-Back, H. Richards; threequar- ters, Cliff James, W. Warlow, D. Davies, T. Lloyd; half-backs, L. Jenkins, Will Walters; forwards, P. Jenkins (Captain), C. Jenkins, T. Bqwen, N. Jones, G. Williams, L. Rees, J. Phillips, Bryn Badger. ••• Mr E. G. Evans, Carmarthen, held the whistle. As usual, the Quins were late, and the gpe,c: As usual, the Quins were late, and the sl^ tators were getting somewhat impatient. Beatutiful weather prevailed, The Quins, losing the toss, kicked off facing a brilliant sun, and soon started pressing near to the visitors goal. After about eight minutes play, Victor Davies made a beautiful opening and several backs handling, Cliff Jones scored a very pretty try near the up- rights. T. H. Jenkins (full back) added the extra, points. Play of an exciting nature con- tinued until half-t'me, when Felinfoel were pressing near he home lino. Half time came with the Quins letting by one goal to nil. Felinfoel started off in grand form and their forwards continued healing serum afte-r scrum, but the home defence prevailed. Play was now carried by the home forwards to the visitor's line, and Jamsie Lewis securing the ball took a steady aim and dropped a lovely goal amidst the cheers of the spectators. Play- continued to be of a, ding-dong character. From a line-out Walton got possession and drawing the defence, passed to Charlie Daviea (the captain), who scored near the corner flag. T. n. Jenkins failed to convert. Time was called with the score: Harlequins, 1 goal, 1 dropped goal, 1 try (12 points); Felinfoel, nil. The home forwards played a fine game in the open and some of their rushes were great, but in the scrum they were outclassed and failed to heal the ball at all during the after- noon. The visiting forwards were not much (if any) heavier than the, home lot; the pack evidently carried passengers J t is to be hoped that they will take to scrummaging seriously and practice the art of healing, so that their backs may have at opportutity of showing their scoring capabilities which they un- doubtedly possessed. Chas. Davies played his lit mal sound game, as did Walton and Harries. ••• Opt. Ira, Jones (inside half) who was severely handicapped by the forwards not healing, played a poor game. He certainly got his man down, hut not before he had beaten liira and "delivered the goods" to his outside lt"llf. Jaimes Lewis did not have much to do, but what he did was well done. His dropped goal was a beauty. • «« Cliff Jones (right wing) who was playing

EJJUSIIVE BURRY PORT HOUSUUHOLOiElR. There were some humorous exchanges at the meeting of the Burry Port Council follow- ing upon the report of the Surveyor on certain repairs required to a house in Pemberton Avenue. The Surveyor said tha,t he had been unable to find the owner. If any Councillor could give, information as to her whereabouts he would be much obliged. Ho was afraid,- he would have to employ a private-detective. Mr Daniel Evans: She's in London now. The Surveyor: Shall I take a, trip there (laughter). Mr Leyshon: Yes, she's a widow (renewed laughter).

Echo of Cardiff Royal Show. OVERCHARGE FOR BOTTLE BEER, At Glamorgan Quarter Sessions on Wed- nesday Mr William Christopher and Mr John Leopold Daniel, dia-ectors of the firmf of Messrs Letherbyb and Christopher, caterers at the last Royal Show at Cardiff, appealed against a conviction by the Llandalf justices for selling bottled beer at a price exceeding the maximum. Fines amounting to zeloo and ten guineas costs had been imposed. Mr Roland Vaughan Williams, K.C., (for the respondent, explained that the appellants had about 40 bars, at the Royal Show, and the offence for which they were convicted was for sailing bottled beer at Is per bottle, instead of 8d, which was he oonrolled price. Mr William Evans went into the box and bore out counsel's statement, and said that he himself had to pay Is for a bottle of beer. Mr Whiteley (for the appellants) said his submission was that the penalties inflicted were excessive and were not justified by tlu* circumstances.. The justices, he said, had evidentyl made up their minds that it was a case of profiteering, but the case had not been put before them in the clearest way owing I o the fane that the summonses were only nerved on 11, Friday in London, and the hearing took place at Llandaff on tho followiwng Monday. There was not proper time to instruct solici- tors and counsel, and the Food Controller re- layed to consent to an adjournment. Counsel went on to say that his clients were an important firm oc caterers who had been established for 30 years., had done much busi- ness in all parts of the country, and were natrually very jealous of their reputation. tn catering at the Royal Show they had riot the same advantages as an ordinary licence holder. The appeal was dismissed.

his first game for the Quins played a fine giinie and gives promise of making a, good wing. The threequarters were in good form, LeAVis playing with plenty of dash and skill. The opening in the first try was a fine individual eifort on Victor Davies's part. Arthur Mor- gan played a sound game, but must time and take his passes better.. ««« On Thursday the 9th inst., at the Grammar School fieeld, Abergwili Seconds met and de- feated the School XV by 1 goal 1 try (8 points) to nil. The same afternoon the Carmarthen Thurs- day's second string defeated a Loco team by eight points to nil. The Training College team has secured the Fair Lane field (formerly used by the Quins) as a ground, where they are now practising hard daily. "En Avant." 3
