Barry Island English Baptist Church -0-- On Sunday last, the pulpit of Pastor W. T* Medhurst's Church on the Island was occupied by the Rev W. H. Jones, 7, Bell-street, Barry (for- merly of Bridgend). Mr Jones (who ministers to the Baptist brethren of St. Brides Major) was very well received both morning and evening, and an invitation has been extended to him to officiate there again. The rev. gentleman has also been asked to supply at other places of worship in the district.

Lengthy and Honourable Service. -$$$$)o(,;$$$- Testimonial to Mr Gwilym Henton. APPRECIATIVE REFERENCES: A TANGIBLE TOKEN. A representative meeting of the customer,? of the Metropolitan Batik. Barry, met 01, Tinu -<Ky ill last week, to present the late i, iir Henton, with a handsome double case hunter's gold watch, supplied by Messrs F. J. Gre(ner und Sons, Holton-road. The presentation wan made by Mr B. G. Davies, solicitor and notary public, Barry Dock, who said it would be un- kind and ungenerous of him not to say a few words in support of the eminent services ren- dered to the customers, and the unvaried courtesy displayed by tl'.e worthy recipient of i the gift on his departure from this branch. He did so with pin and pleasure—with pain at his leaving the scene of his early triumphs, and with pleasure at his well-deserved and earned promotion to a higher position at the Cardiff branch of the Bank. It meant" the parting of the ways," as their esteemed friend had gone up the line but a few miles to the Welsh metropolis, where he hoped some of them would soon follow by opening up branch estab- lishments, so that they should again be in touch with him. He was the only cashier who had, during bis stay amongst them, purchased a residence where, he was glad to say he (Mr Henton) intended to remain for some time. He (the speaker) could claim to speak of his friend with more feeling than almost anyone present, as he bad known him nearly as long as anyone there present. They each had had some anxious moments during their business transactions in what their Cardiff friends call, this Slough of Despond," but he was glad to say they could see now, he hoped, the dawn of a brighter day. He was, and always had been, thoroughly in touch with his customers, and had given a tone to the practice of the bank, but he felt confi- dent that his present promotion was but a fore- runner of another and larger one. In making him this presentation they all wished him health, success, and long life, so as to enable him to enjoy the well-earned pension the managing directorate bad so providently pro- vided for long and faithful service. Mr Goldsworthy (manager) made a few graceful remarks, and was followed by Mr Alfred Jackson, solicitor, who read the inscrip- tion on the watch. Messrs Ben Thomas (house and estate agent), Wm. Phillips (Barry Dock Steam Joinery, Limited), and Tom Evans also made some timely and appropriate remarks. The gift was acknowledged by Mr Henton in feeling and suitable terms.

THE KING AND BARRY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BARRY HERALD." SIR,—Permit me again to refer to the forth- coming visit of our King with his gracious Consort to Cardiff on Saturday, July 13 next. I find there are several tradesmen of Barry who are in sympathy with my suggestion of making this day a holiday, and I would suggest that this be adopted by the Shop Assistants' Union this year in place of their usual whole-day summer holiday, and that the tradesmen be ballotted upon the question. It is certain that no business will be lost, because nene will be done on July 13th next. The City of Cardiff will be the attraction for the whole day the King's stay and the royal procession up to about 3 p.m., with the illuminations and fireworks displays, will prove an all too powerful attrac- tion to the people of Barry. Why should not we, business men, join ourselves with the manual and other workers of our town in giving our King and Queen a hearty welcome to gallant little Wales ?" We shall no more lose in rejoicing on a Saturday on the occasion of the royal visit that we did when we mourned on that never-to-be- forgotten Saturday of the late Queen Victoria's funeral.-Yours, &c., W. T. MEDHURST. P.S.-Your contemporary's loyalty did not rise to the level of printing a similar letter which I sent them last week. I am glad to know that we have in the Barry Herald a medium for an expression of loyalty. W.T.M, LOCAL SCHOLASTIC APPOINTMENTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "BARRY HERALD. SIR,-It must be a matter of great regret to all true Progressives, and other lovers of fair play, that the methods of the London County Council Moderates should so soon become apparent in the actions of our Local Education Authority, as shown by the appointments of headmistresses made on Tuesday evening. Is there to be no consideration shown for the long, faithful, and capable service of teachers who have taken no small share in bringing Barry to the high educational level to which the town has attained ? Or are our public positions to be used solely for the advancement of personal friends who have not been in our schools for one-fourth the time of other candidates equally capable, but lack- ing the honour of close acquaintanceship with local public representatives ? Is it not time that a strong protest should be made against such actions ? At any rate, actions of this kind should be remembered when the parties responsible again seek our interest and support. This certainly will be the case with me. —I am, &c., PARK WARD PROGRESSIVE.

I THE NEW INSTITUTE.

Y.M.C.A. WORK AT BARRY DESCRIPTION OF NEW PREMISES A VALUABLE ACQUISITION. One quality that the mushroom essen- tially possesses, Barry has always shown. That is the qu^y of abnormal growth. Scarcely more than a few decades ago Barry J Island stood an isolated sea girt mass, with the sea washing around it, and a collection -we have them still-of pretty thatched cottages constituted the village of Barry- in this short space of time a g.-eat change, patent to all, has been wrought. As may, therefore, be expected, the in- stitutions—philanthropic and otherwise- of a town of this nature, keep step with the town's progress in a similarly abnormal way. The town has seen the ebb and the flow of the tide of prosperty oftentimes, but the path of the Barry Young Men's Christian Association has always been one of progress. At the present moment the association are contemplating the occupation of new and commodious buildings, owing to the inadequacy of the accommodation of the present quarters of the Y.M.C.A. The history of the Association in Barry, briefly recapitulated, is as follows :—The year 1901 found the nucleus of the Y.M.C.A. domiciled in three rooms of a house in High-street, Barry. As may be expected, the accom- modation soon proved to be insufficient, and during that year the executive committee, looking about for a larger building suitable .> MR H- E. POPE, SEC. for its needs, secured the tenancy of 19, Holton-road—the present quarters of the Association. From that time until 1906 the membership steadily increased, until in the latter year the necessity of employing a permanent Secretary, who would devote his whole time to the work for the Y.M.C.A. at Barry, was forced upon the executive committee, who were assisted in their endeavours to select a secretary by the Welsh National Council of Y.M.C.A.'s. Mr H. E. Pope, who had previously been act- ing as assistant secretary to the Totterdown Y.M.C.A., Bristol, was thereupon appointed, and if any deubt had previously êxisted as to the wisdom of the course, it would be entirely removed by the following fact. During the year the membership has in- creased to 300 Again the committee are face to face with the accommodation problem, as with such a membership the present premises are very inadequate to enable the proper working of the true Y.M.C.A. Added to this fact, there are a constant number of fresh applicants for membership, and it would be folly to turn these away, for the want of better buildings, from the beneficial influence wielded by the association. Much time has, therefore, been devoted by the committee in looking around for a modern building properly equipped for the carrying on of Y.M.C.A. work, and it was found, provided the necessary funds were forthcoming, that a commodious building, which, with some alterations, would admirably answer the purpose, and situated about one hundred yards from the centre of the town, could be obtained. This building is the Alexandra Hotel, Newland-street, Barry Dock. The committee were unanimous in decid- ing, in the event of the necessary funds being found, to acquire this eminently suitable building, which was in the first place fitted out for a first class hotel, and the premises have, therefore, been pro- visionally secured. For their purchase and complete equipment a sum of X31000 is urgently needed, of which sum Mr John Cory, the President of the Barry Y.M.C.A., with his usual generosity, has kindly promised ^1,000, provided that the residuary amount be immediately obtained. The following is a description of the in- terior of the building that is, after the necessary alterations have been made. On the ground floor there is to be a large lounge and entrance hall, 24ft by 24ft, with refreshment bar a billiard room, 46ft. 6in. by 18ft. 3in., for two tables an enquiry office to the right of the entrance lobby, from which office is direct access to the secretary's and committee's room a recre- ation hall for games, etc., 31ft. 6in. by 18ft. 3in. caretaker's kitchen, 21ft. 3in. by 12ft and excellent china pantries, etc., complete the ground floor itinerany. Excellent and commodious cellarage is provided on the basement, whilst in the hotel yard it is proposed to build-later on—a large hall 65ft by 30ft. On the first floor is a large room, with direct access to the street, suit- able for meetings of various societies, with seating accommodation for over 100 people a reading room and library, 16ft. by 15ft. parlour, large class, and meeting room day room for photographic purposes, bath- room, etc. whilst on the second floor, which it is proposed to use as a boarding department, is accommodation for 14 young men, with dining and sitting room, bath rooms, box rooms, and caretaker's room. Provided this scheme can be brought to a successful issue, the committee, who have in the past felt that there were a large number of boys between the ages of 12 and 16, who were uncatered for during the week by any association of this nature, have in view a project of forming a boys depart- ment for about 100 lads between the ages of 12 and 16—these boys in time being drafted into the senior department. The association is proposing to cater for the physical culture of its members by means of various sport clubs in keeping with the seasons, cycling, camera, rifle shooting, and other clubs, whilst the mental and moral susceptibilities of its adherents will be fostered by debatihg societies, lectures, Sunday P.S.A. meetings, and a short evanelistic service on Sunday even- ings, between the hours of 8 and 9.

Grange Man's Economy. WHY HE DID NOT RETALIATE John Brown, a coloured seaman, was placed in the dock at Barry Police Court on Monday charged with unlawfully cutting and wounding a marine fireman named James McCarthy, of Hereford-street, Grangetown, who figured in the witness-box with a bandage round his head. McCarthy said he met accused and another man in the bar of a local hotel, and after a quarrel went outside, where they fought. Whilst fighting Brown took out a razor and cut witness across the temple. In answer to Mr F. P. Jones-Lloyd, for the defence, witness said he took the both blows with- out uttering a word, as he had done many times before. (Laughter). Mr Jones-Lloyd Your are a violent man your- self ? Witness (misapprehending) I am not a North of Ireland man. (Laughter). He added that he didn't take his coat off after the first blow in order to study economy." How wouldlyou study economy ?-By fighting [ might have been locked up and have to pay a fine. He took the blows easy in the hotel, but went outside to look for his rights. (Laughter.) You were very near him.—Yes, a bit too near for the razor. (Laughter). Dr O'Donnell described the wound as being two inches long, over the right eye. Messrs W. H, Mayne and W. A. Mackintosh, two local tradesmen, declared that they saw the fight from the start. There was no razor used at all. Prisoner was committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions.

Warning to Shipmasters :0: PROVISION OF ADEQUATE GANGWAYS. A case of some importance to shipmasters and owners of vessels was heard at Barry Police Court on Friday in last week (before Mr John Duncan and Mr Claud Thompson). It was the first prosecution instituted by the Homo Office in South Wales, and was against Messrs J. C. Harrison, shipowners, London, for neglecting to provide a sufficiently-protected gangway for the use of those persons engaged on board in passing from the ship tu the shore and from shore to ship. Mr Arthur Wolfe, H.M. chief inspector of factories, who appeared for the prosecution, read the regulations, showing that a gangway must be 22 inches wide and a rail at the side to a clear height of 2ft. 9in. On Tuesday, April 23rd. the s.s. Hanley was being loaded beneath No. 21 tip at Barry Dock by coal trimmers in the employ of Messrs Harrison and Tidswell. When Mr Timothy, one of the assistant in- spectors, visited the vessel, he found a hatch covering being used instead of a proper gang- way. It had no safeguard on either side to prevent any person from falling into the dock. The penalty for not providing a proper gang- way was £ 10. Mr Ingledew, for the defence, admitted a technical offence. The Bench decided to impose a fine of X2, including costs, Mr Duucan observing that they bad taken into consideration that this was the first case, and that the inspectors had not been very stringent in the past with regard to the regulations. It was quite clear that unless some regard was paid to these regulations they would become of no effect. There seemed to be no danger to lifa in the present case, but they would readily understand how very necessary these regulations were.

Hf SNAP = SHOTS -r- ) Three Cardiff gentlemen were capsized from a skiff uff Sully on Sunday, and the launching of the Barry lifeboat, which went to the rescue very promptly, created great excitenknt in the town. Cardiff City Council have decided to grant the Barry Council the loan of 7 £ 10,006 at 3* per cent. interest. The money is required for the new offices and for water mains. On Friday last Councillor J. E. Levers and Mr James Cruise (Court road) started on a fortnight's holiday-making in Switzerland, and as the twain left home indications were not wanting that they intended climbing the Alps and traverse their rugged and naked precipices with almost boyish daring. On Wednesday next the Barry Shop Assistants' Union propose holding their annual picnic at Cowbridge. They will journey thereto by brakes, which leave Tynewydd road at 2 p.m. prompt on that day, and tea will be partaken of at the ancient Borough of Cowbridge. The wreck of the ill-fated steamer Orianda on February 16th last was re-called in the Probate Court this week, when, on the application of Mr Gwyn Morris, leave was granted to presume the death of the second officer, Mr Roland Samuel Thurber. How To AVOID CHILLS.-Otving to our variable climate, due regard should be paid to under. clothing, as this is the surest way of warding off colds and chills. The underclothing should be warm, without being heavy, and should also be absolutely unshrinkable. You can get the correct thing at J.

A stupendous revolution has taken place in the Welsh railway world. It is the Colliery Guardian" which contains the amazing news, In a congratulatory note the Guardian refers to the Barry Com- pany, which, under the guidance of Sir Thomas Lewis, has done so much to for- ward the prosperity of South Wales." Over the borders our readers will realise what this means if they compare it with a state- ment in, say, the Spectator congratulat- ing the Radical party, which, under the guidance of Mr Balfour, has done so much to forward the prosperity of the Empire." The son of a Cornish sea captain of con- siderable experience, Councillor J. E. Levers followed his father's calling for many years, and it was not until he was 28 years of age that he relinquished it for the less adventur- ous life of a landsman. Then entering upon a commercial career, he devoted himself with singular attachment towards building up a business, the extent and prosperity of which, since he settled at Barry, finds ready answer in the huge pile of buildings situated in Court road.

Mr C. H. Bailey's Apprentices. COUNTY DISTINCTIONS. It is gratifying to notice in the County Council examination results of the Barry Evening Classes just announced that in the advanced stage in Practical Mathematics three Barry students have done excep- tionally well, James A. Hogg (St Nicholas road) being first in this stage in the county, whilst Mr John Llewellyn Davies and William Hedley Graham (Rockcliffe, Barry Island) are eighth and ninth in the county respectively. It may be remarked that both J. A. Hogg and William Hedley Graham are the sons of well-known local engineers. It is a noteworthy fact, which bears out the parental interest taken in their apprentices by the firm, that the three stadents are from the Tyne Engineering Works ot Mr C. H. Bailey. It was one of the chief aims of that late gentleman to encourage his apprentices, and besides granting them prizes, they have been allowed other considerations for attending the classes regularly.

Recognition by Fellow- Clerks. :x: An interesting presentation took place at the General Offices of the Barry Railway Company on Saturday morning last, when Mr George Waters, one of the audit office staff, was made the recipient of a gold signet ring and a silver match-box, with monogram engraved, subscribed for by the whole of the staff of the General Offices. The presentation was made by Mr Felix Williams, audit accountant, who said be was sure he voiced the feeling of all the sub- scribers in regretting the departure of Mr Waters from the Company, and ventured to predict that, if he carried into his new sphere the same steady application, perseverance, and grasp of his work as had characterised him during the six years he had been under the Company he would in due time win for himself an honourable career. Mr G. Llewellyn, with whom he had been in more personal contact, re-echoed all that Mr Williams had said. Messrs R. T. Holmes, A. B. James, R. J. Webber, and W. Thomas also added words of apprecia- tion. Mr Waters feelingly responded, and said he should always value the gifts as shewing the good feeling of the staff, and assured them that if he met as good a lot of fellow- clerks in his new sphere he would be per- fectly satisfied. Mr Waters is taking up an appointment at C. H. Bailey's Tyne Engine Works, Barry Dock.

A Peculiar Parallel. TATTERSALL'S CORNER COMPARED TO THE EXCHANGE. There were three cases before the Magistrates (Messrs John Duncan and Claud Thompson) at Barry Dock on Friday, in which persons were charged with loitering in Dock View road, locally kuown as Tattersall's Corner,' for the purpose of betting. Mr J. A. Hughes defended each of the defendants, of whom John Phillips, a clothier's assistant, was the first. Police-constable Beedles and Police-constable Beirne said that on Derby Day they saw Phillips from 11 a.m. to 12.30 p.m., during which time 19 men went up to him and handed him slips of paper, and what appeared to be money, the men being labourers, fitters, and others employed at the docks. Mr Hughes (to Police-constable Beirne): Is not this spot the gathering-place of sailors, labourers, and men out of work ?—Yes, sir. It is what the Exchange in Cardiff is for men in a higher class of life-a place where you may meet men ?-Yes. The Bench, however, considered the case perfectly clear, and imposed a fine of 40s and costs, a similar penalty being imposed on Walter Thomas, another young man, who pleaded guilty. Robert Yarr, the third defendant, denied the offence, and Police-constable Beedles said that when charged, Yarr replied, I have finished my boss will pay my fine." His boss-a man named Cowling—bad been arrested on the same day for^betting. The Bench imposed the same penalty in this case.
