During this week Miss May Hopkins will appear at the Grove for one night only. The Terri ;orials.—Questioned if there was any truth in the statement that the Welsh Territorial Division would again train as a whole at Aberystwyth next year, General Lloyd said that depended upon the War Minis er, the landowners of the district, and the Mayor and Corporation of Aberystwyth, but if lie could bring that division there again he would be very glad to do so, as they had been very hospitably entertained, and he was glad to know there were no com-, plaints against the men's behaviour. Welsh. Singing.—There was a huge crowd of people on the Castle Grounds on Sunday afternoon to listen to the singing of a choir oE Welshmen, under the oonductorship of Air Dan Jones, Cross Rand;, Llanelly. A solo was rendered by a lady visitor, and recitations were also given by Mr E Thomas, Ammanford, Mr. Garfield Thomas, and Miss Morgan Cwmtwrch.

Licensed House Assessments.—At a meet log of the Assessment Committee of the Aberystwyth Cnion held on Monday, Mr. A. J. Hughes and Mr W. P. Owen appeared on behalf of a large number of licensed victuallers in the town, and appealed for a reduction in the assessments of licensed premises. Mr. E. J. Evans. Llangwvryfon, occupied the chair. The appeals were made on the ground of the increased license duty, payable under the Finance Act, 1910, and so it was contended, the reduction in the letting value of licensed property. The appellants put forward the Shoreditch case, recently decided in the High Court, in support of their appeal. The committee, having heard the arguments, decided to defer discussion until an adjourned meeting on Monday next, when the matter will be fully gone into. Using Obscene Language. — Elizabeth Timothy, and Alice Ssvaffield, two young women from Birmingham, were charged on Saturday before the Mayor, Mr. Peter Jones and Mr Edwin Morris, with having used obscene and indecent language in Queen's- road on Friday evening.—Evidence was given by Mr James Williams and Mr J. Lewis Jones, residen:s in Queen's-road, who stated that the defendants were with a few terri- torials.—P.C. Charman said that shortly after one on Saturday morning he found both defendants in Bridge-street. When asked why they were out so late, they re- plied they could not get in earlier on ac- count of the territorials. He then brought them to the Police Station.—One of the de- fendants said they were with two young men, and there was trouble between them and a few territorials.—Both defendants were bound over, and ordered to leave the town at once.

Arch- deacon Williams presided, and there was a representative gathering of clergy and lay- men from the whole of North Cardiganshire. The Chairman gave an address on missionary work generally, and referred especially to the urgent claims of Canada in view of the thousands of people settling there every year.-The Rev. W. H. Barnes, organising secretary of the S.P.G. for missionary ex- hibitions, who had specially come down to the meeting, laid before those present the value of exhibitions, not simply in obtaining money for missionary purposes, but in im- parting information concerning missionary work and creating an interest in it.—The Rev. J. Lambert Rees, organising secretary for the diocese, spoke of what the exhibition had already done in several towns in the diocese.—It was decided to hold the exhibi- tion in the first week in November, 1911, and the Rev. Dr. Jones-Powell, vicar of St. Michaels, was appointed general secretary. Teachers' Concert.—On Thursday evening a ooncert was given at the Royal Pier Pavillion in aid of the Benevolent and Orphan Funds of the National Union of Teachers, when there was a crowded audi- ence. The concert had been organised by a committee of local teachers in connection with the conference of the Union to be held in the town next Easter.

Commencing on Monday night next the popular play with music, "The Merry Widow," will be staged by Mr. George Edwardes' Company direct from Daly's Theatre, London, with full chorus and orchestra. This is an opportunity which should not be missed by theatre-goers, and as there will, undoubtedly, be a rush for seats those who intend being present should visit the booking office at the Cohseiifn without delay. Fighting at Penparke.-Last week was a strenuous week everywhere, and Penparke followed in the wake of the world. It was, however, too exciting for Jane Jones, a labourer's wife, who, it seems, heard a knock at the door on Tuesday evening, and? when he opened it she was hit in her face. Her assailant, who transpired to be a neigh- bour, named John Jones, followed her into her house, with the result that her husband, Willi-am Jones, had to get out of his bed and seek shelter in a friendly neighbour's house. His wife followed suit. Slie sought redress for her grievances in the police court on Saturday, where she appeared with a "black eye," and there she unfolded her tale. She was accompanied by her husband who stated that John Jones was under the influence of drink at the time of t'ne assault. The version of the affair given by John Jones was that he wanted to have a word with 'William, but when he opened the door, Jane rushed at him like a bear. Moreover, he said that the black eye was caused by her own ,husband, they having been fighting for four hours on the previous Saturday. The magistrates (the Mayor, Mr. Peter Jones, and Mr. Edwin Morris), fined John £1 and costs, and the Mayor asked him to keep off the drink, as he was a skilful artisan. Wesley Church.—On Sunday last the Sun- day School Anniversary services were held. The pastor, the Rev. A. H. Vine. delivered two most able and suitable sermons for the occasion, taking, in the morning as his sub- ject, "The boyhood and the development of Christ," and in the evening, "rhe Training of Children." At the afternoon service the children took a prominent part. Mr. H. I Edwards, superintendent, opened the meet- ing by prayer, and Mr. W. Walker, of- Han- ley, presided. The following programme was gone through:—Echo song, by members of the Sunday School; recitation. Master Willie Humphreys; solo and chorus, "Open the door for the children," Miss Williams; recitation, "The Saviour's Love," Miss Gwladys Jones; solo, "Carried by the Angels," Miss Fanny Richardson; address, Rev. C. Kingsley Dove, B.A.; flute solo, "The Better Land," Mr. D. George; solo, "0, Rest in the Lord," Master Charles Campbell; solo and chorus, "A Light along the Way," Miss Edith Richardson; organ solo, "Oh, dry those tears," Mrs. J. H. Wil- liams. The collections at this service were taken up by four scholars. Miss Maud Phil- lips, Miss Irene Jones, Miss Dorothy Law- son, and Miss Mary Jones. The hearty sing_ ing throughout the service, under the direc- tion of Mr. T. Williams, precentor, was much appreciated by the visitors present. The organ was presided over by Mrs. J. H. Williams, of Corris (a former organist). On Monday evening, the Rev. A. H. Vine de- livered a very interesting lecture on "Ghosts "thi'ngs 'ghostly." The chair wias oc- cupied by Jolley, of Cambridge. Collec- tions were made in aid of the School funds. PETTY SESSIONS. The weekly Petty Sessions were held on Wednesday before the Mayor (Mr. E. P. Wynne), Mr. John Lewis, and Captain Doughton. Drunk. Louise Jackson, Portland-road, driver's wife, was charged by P.C. Evan Williams with having been drunk at Bryn-terrace.— Defendant said she was sorry, and was fined 5s. including costs. Drunk and Disorderly. j Joseph Jenkins, 5, Trinity-row, labourer, was charged by P.C. Charman, with having been drunk and disorderly in Poplar-row on the 5th August.—The case was adjourned for a week to enable defendant to appear. Obstructing the Highway. Joseph Craven Horsman, 50 Cambrian- street, porter, was charged by Supt. Jones, with having obstructed the highway on the Marine-terrace by leaving a hand-truck thereon on the 6th inst.—P.C. Evan Wil- liams said the street at the time was full of pedestrians, and there was a lot of vehicular traffic. He had cautioned defendant several times. Defendant was employed at the Elysian Grove.—Defendant denied that he had been cautioned before, and said he had only stopped ten minutes at the very most. There were other persons with trucks who had stayed the same length of time as he had.—Capt. Doughton I should like to ask a question to the police. Is a truck on the Marine-terrace more of an obstruction than six or eight barrels outside a public house? It is a pity that these persons are "nabbed" at once, while there are so many obstructions knocking about.-The Chief Constable said this defendant had been on the Terrace for five weeks.—Defendant was fined 5s. includ- ing costs, in default, seven days' imprison- ment.—Defendant: It is an unjust case. Cruelty to a Horse. Harold Leach Dee, summoned Thos. Owen, Post Office, Goginan, for cruelly illtreating a horse by worMng it in an unfit condition at Aberystwyth on the 1st of August.—Pro- secutor said there was a suppurating wound of long standing und r the pad.—Defendant said there was no blister under the saddle that morning when he started from home. He did not remove the harness in town and was, therefore, perfectly unaware that there was a raw place under the saddle.—Fined 5s. and costs. Reward for Bravery. After the hearing of the cases, an interest- ing presentation took place, the recipient being Mr. David Lewis, 18, Rheidol-place, who saved a young child named Stanley Jones, living at High-street, from drowning at the Harbour in May last.—The presenta- tion, consisting of a cheque for £5 from the Carnegie Hero Trust Fund, and a testimonial oa vellum from the Royal Humane Society, was made to Lewis by the Mayoress. Captain Doughton. who represented the Royal Humane Society, recounted the his- tory of the case, and said that Mrs. Dough- otn had had the testimonial framed at her own expense. He expressed the hope that the young men of the town would emulate the fine example of Lewis, when a life was in danger. The Mayor, who presided, also congratu- lated the recipient, who, he was sure, was well worthy of the presentation. (Applause). Mr. Lewis expressed his gratefulness for what was done, and said he had only done what every other man would do. On the proposition of the Mayor a vote of thanks was passed to Capt. Doughton for his services in bringing the matter before the two societies. A vo:e of thanks was also accorded the Mayor for presiding. THE BETTING EVIL. (To the Editor of the "Welsh Gazette.") Sir,—I noticed that there were about thirty professional bookmakers on the Col- lege Athletic grounds on the occasion of the horse races last week. The cries of these shouting their odds made one think that he was among the rabble on a low class racecourse in England. Betting was in- dulged in freely, and it is sad to think that this evil should have been first openly flaunted in tlfe town on these grounds. I am a lover of horse-racing pure and simple, but I have a horror of the evils which too frequently accompany it, and of these evils judges of assize often remind us that betting must be ranked as the worst and I cruellest. Surely, one would have expected J that the authorities interested in the ground would have taken the necessary pre- j cautions to prohibit betting. CIVIS. I SHOP AWNINGS. (To the Editor of the "Welsh Gazette.") Sir,—When prosecuting three shopkeepers in Terrace-road the previous week for allow- ing their shop awnings to be too low the Sanitary Inspector, when reminded by the Bench that there were other offenders, said in reply "There are other cases to come on. I have only just started." If there were other cases to come on, why in the name of common justice has the Sanitary Inspector I not brought them on? Two weekly Petty Sessions have been held since, but no one has been prosecuted. Inasmuch as the Sani- tary Inspector admitted to the Bench on July 27th that there were other cases to come on the public have a right to know why those cases have not been brought on. It is a monstrous thing that a few individuals should be pounced upon suddenly, and punished without warning, while old offenders are allowed to oreak the law with impunity. Did the Sanitary Inspector take notice of the numerous shop awnings that were out last Sunday? And will he take proceedings against the owners of those which were too low ? If not, why not? JUSTITIA. FORTHCOMING DIOCESAN CONFER- ENCE. The St. David's Diocesan Conference meets this year in Aberystwyth, where it met before eight years ago. Three services will be held in connection with the conference. Dr. James, president of St. John's College, Oxford, will preach on Wednesday morning (September 21) the opening sermon, and the Dean of St. David's the closing sermon on Thursday evening (September 22nd). On the evening before the conference the Arch- deacoif of Bangor will preach in Welsh at St. Mary's Church, and the,public reception of the members of the conference will take place after the service. On the first afternoon the bishop of the diocese will deliver his presidential address, which will be followed by important discus- sions on Sunday school organisation, Church finance, and Church Defence. On Wednes- day evening there will be a public meeting at the Coliseum, when the bishop will take the chair, and Mr. G. A. King, treasurer of the Church of England Men's Society, will speak. The subject of the meeting is "The Mission and Work of the Church." The two subjects set for discussion on Thursday are "Churchmanship," on which a paper will be read by Principal Bebb, Lampeter, and "The Church in the Archdeaconry of Cardigan," introduced by Mr. Frank Mor- gan and the Rev. J. N. Evans. On Thurs- day "Parochial Church Councils," foreign missions, and women's work in the diocese will be considered by the conference. The election of new members of the dio- cesan conference took place this summer, and it is expected that Aberystwyth will attract a large number of delegates. The programme is of a practical and constructive character, and the question of "Churchmanship" is an especially opportune subject for discussion at a time when Welsh religious thought in many quarters is in a state of flux. This will be the first visit of the late headmaster of Rugby to the Diocese of St. David's for many years.
ABERAYRON.
ABERAYRON Shipping Disaster.—Amongst the crew of the Swansea-laden ship Wynnstay, which stranded at the entrance to Iquique Har- bour, was an apprentice named David Aeron Jones (17), of Aberayron. One of the crew was drowned, and four others are missing, Jones, however, is amongst those saved. Wedding.—On the 3rd inst., at Marsh- lane Welsh Congregational Church, Liver- pool, the marriage was solemnised between Miss Ellen Harries, late of Llyswen Mill of itiis town, and Mr. John Williams, of Aber- meurig, Felinfach, now of Pentre, Rhondda Valley. The bride was given away by her brother, Mr. J. A. Harries of Aberystwyth, accompanied by their little nieces.

Roberts, minister of the Taber- nacle Welsh Congregational Church, Liver- pool. After the ceremony, the happy pair left, in a shower of confetti, for North Wal es, where the honeymoon is being spent. Numerous presents have been received.
BBITIBH VOLCANOES.
BBITIBH VOLCANOES. Within the British Isles are numerous exfånotl volcanoes. The island of Skye is the wreck of m, once gigantic volcano, which thundered f*rth its ashes and poured out its molten streams of lava in a period of the world's history termed by geologists the Tertiary Epoch, and which at « a rough approximation may be dated at about 30,000,000 years ago. This ancient volcano originally had a diameter of thirty miles at its j base and a height of 15.000ft. At the present time nothing but a few rounded dome-like „ masses or rugged peaks, not more than 3,000ft. | in height, remain to tell the story of what must i have been truly stupendous volcanic activity. | Ben Nevis, the Sidlaws, the Pentlands, the, j OchiLs, Arthur's seat, just outside Edinburgh, are remnants of very ancient volcanoes, 50,000,000 years or so in age, which once made Scotland a veritable "reign of fire." In North t: and South Wales there are similar wrecks of wha,t were once gigantic volcanoes, and among yl them may be mentioned Snowdon and Cader- p Idris. Many of the higher peaks of the Lake < District, of the Wrekin Chain in Shropshire, of 4 Charnwood Forest, and of Dartmoor in Devon- 1 shire, are the silent remnants of British vol- canoes that must once have exhibited volcanic 1 activity on the grandest scale, and have rivalled |j in size and extent the mighty giants of Coto- paxi, Etna, and Teneriffe.
. ROMANCE OF A STATUE. %
ROMANCE OF A STATUE. A bronze statue of Lucilla, representing the beautiful young sister of the Roman Emperor j Caligula in the flowing robe peculiar to ancient Rome, having about tho neck a collar of gold. is I nearly 2,000 years old. It was recently recovered from Lake Nemi, near Rome, and is believed to have been one of tho treasures on board the famous galley of Tiberius, vvliich, for safety, was sunk in the lake when was attacked. For a time it was housed in a small Italian museum, and when the contents were sold it came into | the possession of a fir-n of art dealers. The statue, which measures very nearly 3ft. in. < i height, is valued at £ 20.000.
» THE GREEK NEREIDS. |
» THE GREEK NEREIDS. | There is probably no nook or hamlet in all 1 Greece where the womenfolk at least do not. .scrupulously take precautions against the thefts and the malice of the Nereids, while many a man may srfill be found ready to recount in all good faith siwries of their beauty and passion and caprice. Nor is it a matter 01 £ .1,1:1 inly; There are villages where twtain N ;/c.i are known by sight to several peisoas (so .1..east they avowed), and there is a wonderful a.roe- ment among the witnesses in tiu. d,ert'pti, ii of their appearance and dress. I myself once had a Nereid pointed out to me by my guide, writes a traveller, and there certainly was the semblance of u. female figure draped in white and tall, beyond human stature, flitting in the dusk between tho gnarled and twisted bcles of an old olive yaivi. What the appantiun was I had no leisure to investigate, for my guide, with many signs of the Cross and muttered in- vocations of the Virgin, urged my mule ro- periloua haste, along the rOlledl mountain path. A personal encounter with Nereids is really reckoned among the possible incidents of every- ) day life.

Undoubtedly West AVallans are under a debt of gratitude to the promoters of the Newcastle Emlyn Eisteddfod for the excel- lent concert which they provide annually, thus enabling lovers of music to hear some of the leading artistes of the day. The engagements of these artistes is no small matter, for a pair of them means an expen- diture of over £ 100. The concert is recognised to be one of the best organised in any provincial town, and those present at last Wednesday's entertain- ment had a treat of rare excellence. It was a fitting termination to a successful eistedd- fod. The audience numbered several thous- ands, and it was gratifying to find the local gentry showing their appreciation of the committee's enterprise by patronising the front benches so well. Mr. J. V. Colby, Ffynone, presided, and m his opening re- marks said lie felt sure that as they had had so much music that day that he would not tire them with a speech. Great credit was due to Newcastle Emlyn for having secured the services of so many "stars" and he must congratulate the committee on their efforts in arranging a programme of such high class works. (Applause). A selection by the band of the 5th (Ter- ritorial) 'Welsh Battalion gave a splendid opening, and this was followed by pennillion singing by Miss Harries, Llandebie. Mr. David Evans, whose fame as a baritone singer is renowned, rsndered "Prologue I Pagliacci" (Leoncavalla), and in response to a hearty encore gave a Welsh air. Miss Percival Allen had a splendid reception as she mounted the platform to sing Gounod's "Jewel song." It was an artistic rendering and she was also encored. The next item took the audience back to the days when harps figured on the hearths of Welsh homes, and it is pleasant to observe the encourage- ment which the Eisteddfod gives towards the resuscitation of this noble and melodious old instrument. It was a performance by Telynores Elli of "Morfa Rhuddlan," and she proved an accomplished player. That brilliant tenor, Mr. Ben Davies, had a rousing reception, and an attentive hearing when he gave "Deeper and deeper still" and "Waft her angels" (Handel). The veteran sang splendidly and the audience expressed their appreciation by according him a lusty encore to which he responded with "Dolly." An artiste with a promising career is young Miss Blodwen Jones, who exhibited great talent in violin playing, and her perform- ance was an interesting item. Madame Kirkby Lunn will not soon forget the re- ception acoorded her, which any artiste might envy, it being full of W elsh enthusiasm. She gave the Italian air "0 Don Fatale" (Don Carlos) and responded to an encore with a popular air. Litle Miss Harries com- pleted part 1 of the programme with a hearty rendering of pennillion composed specially for the occasion. Mr. David Evans opened part 2 with "Yr hufen melyn," a selection from Alawon Gwerin, then followed another hour's enjoyment, the items being:—Duett (violin and harp), "Hondo Piacevole" (John Thomas), Mr. Gomer Jones and Miss A. E. Evans; song, "My dearest heart." Miss Per- ceval Allen; song (a) "Breuddwyd y Bardd," (b) "Y Gwcw Fach," (Old Welsh Melodies), Mr. Ben Davies; aria, "Voi Che Sapete," (Mozart), Madame Kirkby Lunn; trio (violin, 'cello and piano) "re Mineur" (Leissiger), Mr Goiner Jones, Miss Blodwen Jones and Mr R. Howell; song, "My dearest heart" (Sullivan), Miss Perceval Allen; song, "My Dreams" (Tosti), Mr. Ben Davies; song, "One Day" (Herman Lohr), Madame Kirkby Lunn; song, "Largo al Factotum" (Rossini), Mr. David Evans. In Part 2, Mr. Ben Dav- ies undoubtedly proved the favourite, and he was heard to advantage in the rendering of the Welsh melodies which proves that these old songs have a, store of melody to supply entertainments for generations yet to come without having to seek the assistance of Italian composers. His rendering of "Y gwcw fach" (The little cuckoo) was magni- ficent, and in response to a hearty encore gave "Y fam ai baban." The programme ended with the tisll,-ti.vo-e of thanks to the chairman, followed with the rendering of the National Anthem. COUNTY COURT. Deputy Judge, Mr. Milner Jones, presided over the bi-monthly Court on Saturday. HUGHES v. ltEES. Joseph Hughes, Capel Evan, for whom Mr. James Jones, solicitor appeared, sued Mary Rees, Bryn eify, Liandyssul, for the return of certain articles of clothing. Ac- cording to plaintiff, he and his wife lodged with defendant, and paid her, but she re- tained certain articles of clothing and re- fused to deliver them up.—Defendant, who did not appear was ordered to pny £ 2 and costs. JONES v. EVANS. Henry Jones, Liiindyssul, auctioneer, sued David Evans, of Ffynoneinon, Llan- I granog for deficiency in the sale of a cow, I and was aunrdfrl £ 2. THE REMOVAL OF PIGSTYES. This was an action brought by Mr J. H. Evans, solicitor, against James Williams, Aberarad. and Res; Davies, Penrallt-boeth, a labourer, for trespass. Mr. Llewelyn 'Williams, M.P. (instructed by Mr. James Jones) appeared for planitiff and Mr. Ivor Bowen (instructed by Messrs. W. E. George and Sons), for defendants. Mr. Llewelyn Williams, in opening the case said the action was for trespass, and the matter, though very small, involved a very important prin- ciple. Plaintiff is a solicitor, and he bought this property in 1891 from a Mr. Howell. The property consisted of a field, and he woibid prove that when he bought the field he also bought tile hedge adjoining. Plain- tiff had been exercising acts of ownership in I' c/er since, and counae. did not think his ilonour would have any difficulty in saying that the property was theirs. When this property was bought, there were four pig- styes which had been there for very many years, and people who used the pigstyes had been in the habit of paying 6d. a year tor the use of the land. When Mr. Evans bought the property in 1891. he not only bought the land, but also the rent and Mr. Evans would tell them that he received the rent of 2s. till 1899, and two continued to pay till 1906. In January of this year with- out any notice at all the two defendants— one of whom is in the employ of the Urban District Cbuncil, and the other in the em- ploy of Lord Cawdor's estate went to Aber- arad, and pulled down the pigstyes. The matter was rather .complicated because they did not know who ordered the defendants to do it. Counsel referred to the correspond- ence sent to the Cbuncil, and said thaf when Mr. Evans met the clerk, the latter said the men were not acting under the Council's instructions. Proceeding, counsel aid the question was one of fact. What was the character of the road? Was it a pubJir or a private road? Assuming it was a public road Lord Cawdor or his agents had no right to remove the pigstyes, and in so doing he would prove that they trespassed on the hedge. It might be, if it was a public high- way that the Council could remove them under Section 69 of the Act of 1834, but then the Council wouil have to proceed in the way indicated in the Act. The law was not very clear, but there were certain rules, and one of them was "If a ixml is used by, and maintained by the public it raises the pre- sumption that it is a public highway." Plaintiff would say that he had lived in the district for 31 years, and he would also say that the local authoritv had never repaired the road. Counsel said his presumption was that there was no evidence of public user. Mr. Bowen: We say this is Lord Cawdcr's and not Mr. Evans'. Mr. Williams submitted that as it was private 'property, Mr. Evans was entitled to half the road. He bought it subject to his right to get 2s. a year for rent. Mr. Bowen: There was never any rent for pigstyes but for easement. Mr. Williams said supposing these pigstyes were built on Lord Cawdor's land abutting on a hedge belonging to plaintiff, defendants had no right to remove them in a way to in- terfere with plaintiff's property, and he sub- mitted that in order to remove them they trespassed. Plaintiff said that since 1891 he had claimed the rights of ownership of the hedge It had always been in a bad state of repair and his wife used to complain of its con- dition. so he sent his man David to repair it about 15 times during the nine years he was in his employment. Nobody else had ever repaired the hedge or the road until this business arose. With regard to the rent mentioned in the oonveyance, it was rent paid by people using the pigstyes. There were four pigstyes in 1891, and they gradu- ally disappeared, and two virtually stood in January of this year. He was regularly paid rent by William Davies and James, but since 1906 he had not asked for it. He came to know in January of this year that the pig- styes were removed by defendants, which action he considered very high handed and impertinent. About two feet in one part of the hedge had been taken away.—Cross- examined, plaintiff said he merely wanted an admission that the hedge was his. He found that Ann James and William Davies had for many years been tenants, and had enjoyed the use of the pigstyes. Mr. Bowen then read correspondence which Mr. Drum- mond (estate agent), had sent to plaintiff in which Mr. Drummond sta-ed that when at Newcastle Emlyn he found the pigstyes in a very bad and unsightly condition, and agreed, as the District Council wanted to improve the roadway to have them removed. In further cross-examination, the plaintiff admitted having sent an old clerk of his to one of the tenants to get an admission that he had paid 6d. a year rent. The last re- ceipt he got was in 1899. but the old man came to him in 1906 with Is. 6d. for rent, but he (plaintiff) gave him 2s. in return. Mr. Bowen, for the defence, submitted that he had no case to answer, and stated thac he would call no evidence, as upon the documents Mr. Evans was not the owner. He submitted that the case was so trivial that it should never have been brought for- ward at all. Mr. Llewelyn Williams agreed that the damages were slight, but there was a ques- tion as to who was the owner of the hedge, and he 'had got it from Mr. Evans that he was the owner. Mr Evans was not bringing this action to stop any improvements being carried out by the Urban District Council.— The Judge said he did not see how Mr Evafs had suffered, and gave judgment for defend- ants without costs.

Agricultural Show.
Agricultural Show. The Cardigan Agricultural Society held its annual show yesterday (Wednesday). The Society has had a progressive career, but it is feared that it has reached its climax, for there appears to be a decline in the interest taken in the show as compared with former years. This is most regrettable considering the splendid work it has done. This year's President was Col. Miles, and local agricul- turists formed the executive committee, of which Mr. D. T. Davies, N.P. Bank was treasurer and Mr. D Morgan Jones, town clerk, secretary. There was in addition to live stock exhibits several stands of agri- cultural implements in and out of motion, and these attracted much interest parti- cularly those of the Bridge-End Foundry, which was under the supervision of Mr. Mathews. The demonstration in dairy work likewise proved attractive and there ladies found the greatest enjoyment. The judges were the following:—Black catde, sheep and pigs, Mr. W. J. Evans, Letterstone: short- horn, Mr. F. Strutton, Newport; hackneys, hunters and roadsters, Mr. Nicholas, Port Talbot; agricultural horses and ponies, Mr. A'. C. Sparkes, Altrincham; butter, Miss Fisk, Aberystwyth. Though the entries were not so numerous as usual the quality maintained its high reputation. Appended is the prize-list;- CATTLE.

These conditions nave been found to exist over all part, of the g.obe in which eacpernnentB have been made. It has also been Tered that at a great height the tempera- ture of the air is often much colder in equatorial: than in polar regions!
