RANCID BUTTER FOR WORKHOUSE INMATES I Pontardawe Guardians' Protest. At the fortnightly meeting of the Pon- tardawe Guardians held on Thursday, Mr. Joseph Thomas presiding, the report of the house Committee was considered. It was recommended that the post of porter at the House should be given to Mr. David William Evans, of the Union Workhouse, Bicheeter, oiL the same terms and conditions aa the previous appoint- ment. The committee further recom- mended that Mrs. Florence H. Tagg, of Queen's Head Hotel, Cardiff, be ap- pointed as senior children's attendant. The committee further reported that they had considered a tabulated state- ment showing the cost of maintenance for each quarter for the last. five yeai-z,, which they deferred until the next morning by which, time they suggested that it be printed in detail and a copy supplied to each member of the Board. This was agreed to. The Stores Committee complained in their report of the quality of the butter supplied to the inmates of the Workhouse by the contractor, Mr. Gwilym Lewis, Pontardawe. The Master suggested that during the hot weather butter was subject to go rancid. Mr. J. M. Davies That depends open the quality. The Master It is the quality ac- cepted by the Board. We have had oc- casion to complain of this butter before and he has changed it. It is explained by most of the groceries in the district that butter does go rancid. Mr. J. M. Da vies How often is this lutter changed ? The Master When required three times a week. Rev. Evan Da vies If butter is supplied onoe a week it will not turn rancid. If the members of the Stores Committee were not satisfied why did they not take. seme of the butter to the Public Analyst and have it analysed? Mr. T. Williams said it depended upon the quality of the butter. There were three grades of Irish butter, but they bad to take all grades of Welsh butter. Mr. J. G. Harris said the smell of the butter was right, but it did net tasts so good. They could not say it was bad, but it was not so good as they expected to find it to be in the House. They could not condemn it. Mr. J. M. Davies How many quali- ties of butter are supplied to the Work- house? Different qualities of butter have been supplied in the past, but I do not know about to-day. The Master This butter was that provided for the inmates. Mr. J. M. Davies Is it the best quality ? The Master It is supposed to be. Mr. T. Williams What price do you pay for it ? The Master Is. ld. per lb., sir. Mr. J. G. Harris Mr. Dnvies is quite right in regard to the two qualities. The officials are allowed to have butter at Is. 2d. per lb. Mr. J. M. Davies So. really, there is no complaint about the butter the offi- cials are using but a complaint n bout the inmates' butter. I move that the atten- tion of Mr. Gwilym Lewis be called to this matter. Mr. Owen Davies If the Stores Com- mittee ca.nnot condemn the butter what can you sav to Mr. Lewis. Mr. Francis Who makeo the com- plaint ? The Master The committee. Mr. J. M. Davies said the report (,f the Stores Committee had been accepted by the House Management Committer and yet Mr. Ha-ris sa.idJ thev could not condemn the butter, yet hó said it was unsatisfactory. In fairness to the in- mates, they should croll the attention of the man who supplied the butter to the complaint that had been ma.de, because it was the inmates who consumed it. Mr. W. Davies (B) suggested that. only one auality of butter should he.. supplied for the officials and the inmates. Mr. J. B. Harris said the Master had a right to return everything supplied to the Workhouse not up to the mark and 119 ask those who supplied the goods to come and take them away. It was decided to write to the con- tractor. SERIOUS COMPLAINT AGAINST I BRYNAMMAN RESIDENT. I Mr. Herbert WiUiajns. of .Brynamman, appeared before the Board to explain -w hv he had interfered with the Micvinr 1 •O""— H-.il-t lie was in the execution of ixis duty. He explained that the relief granted to his mother-in-law had been reduced to 2s. 6d. per week, and as she was a crippled woman he thought the best thing he could do would be to send her to the Workhouse and if the Guardians thought 2a. 6d. per week was sufficient to keep a woman who was a cripple then he, was prepared to allow them to try to do so. When he had told the Relieving Offioer that he had threatened that he would summons him. The Chairman Did you threaten the Relieving Office^ with violence?—No. Asked to state the circumstances, Mr. David Jenkins (relieving officer) stated that after he had explained to Williams what the Relief Committee had done, Williams stated that he (Mr. Jenkins) had stopped the relief, and he became so violent that his wife had great difficulty in restraining him. Williams had not threatened to strike him but he waved his arms about in a manner which sug- gested he had lost control of himself. He had hnd reason to conplain of the con- duct of Williams before, but he had not brought the case before the committee. Mr. Williams said he had lost his tem- per and, apologised to Mr. Jenkins. Mr. J. M. Davies observed that- it was a most serious matter that their Relieving Officer should be interfered with especi- ally when he -was going into houses with money. If they allowed Williams to go free it would be with a very serious warning not to interfere with the officer in the future. h. R. Thomas (chairman of the Relief Committee) said it was only by a slight I majority that the committee had decided not to prosecute, but to allow the man to appeal- before the Board. GUARDIANS' ANNUAL HOLIDAY. I The Chairman moved, and it was agreed to, thnt no meeting of the Board should be held on August 20th,. It was suggested that the mem b ers of the Board should have an outing (at their own expense) and this appeared to meet. with general approval. Mr. R. A. Jones weloomed the sugges- tion as, if carried out, it would lead to a reapprochment. If the whole of the member^ went to Tenby together he be- lieved the spirit which would be fostered would result in there being leøg un. seemly scenes and fewer dramatic exits. (Laughter). The matter of the outing was left in the hands of the chairman., Myce-chairman and clerk.

NEW WAGE BASIS. 1 ,IFINFZS, PROPOSALS BEFORE I THE FEDERATED AREA I BOARD. A meeting of the Coal Conciliation Board for the federated mining dis- tricts in England a.nd North Wates was held at the Westminster Palace Hotel. London, on Friday afternoon. Mr F. ¡ J. Jones, Yorkshire (chairman), pre- sided, with Mr Stephen Walsh, Lan- cashire, in the vino-chair. At the opening of the meeting the chairman oomplained that the men's proposals for a new wage basis and a. new agreement were published in the Press a week previous to reaching, the secretary of the coalowners' section of the Board. The men's representatives disclaimed responwibilty. Tho Coalowners promised to give consideration to the proposals sub- mitic-d to then by the men's section of I the Board and a meeting will he held at a future date for the discussion of the scheme and any amendments pro- pm1ed by the <on]owners. A press representative was informed that the new Agreement is not like1,v to be completed and signed for some months. The present agreement does not terminate until the 3rd March, 191-5, so that t hero is a. period of eight ) months for completion of a. new agree- I ment. I The new proposals provide for o. new wage basis which includes the present minimum wage of 50 per cent. on the stand;*rd to take the place of the obso- lete 1888 wllgc basis together with an increased maximum wage. The meet- ing A-ogof very brief duration, occupy- ing less than "half an hour.

On Saturday, a party of 60 connected with the Sick Benefit Club of the Splott Conservative Club, Cardiff, held an out. ing, ravelling to Sigginstone, a. few miles the other side of Cow bridge in two motor char-a-brancs supplied by the Cardiff Tramways Company. On the return journey one of the char-a-brancs collided with a telegraph post, which brought down the awning of the char-a-banc and (vI-,pn:lY'o"" .11 r,.?:r1"1.f :Tl íi"rC: were more or less seriously injured.

Colbren's Successful Eisteddfod. RECORD ENTRIES ATTENDANCE SPOILT BY RAIN. FULL LIST OF AWARDS. The fifth annual chair Eisteddfod and competitive concert, held under the aus- pices of the Moriah Baptist Chapel, Col- bren, took place on Saturday in a spacious marquee erected for the occasion, and, taking all the facts into consideration, might be regarded as a distinct success. Very unfortunately for the promoters, the atmospheric conditions were far from fav- ourable and this no doubt was due to the small attendance that assembled during the early part of the day. The morning was showery and a good many people who visit Collren with the object of en- joying the beautiful scenery of the dis- tnct as well as to attend the Eisteddfod, were, therefore, prevented from being present. The number increased, however, towards the later stages and despite the weather a fairly satisfactory audience had assembled in the evening. In regard to the entries, a more pleas- ing state of affairs prevailed. A record number of competitors participated in the various events, and no fewor than 140 entrants appeared to compete. I EXCELLENT TALENT. Moreover, the efforts of the competitors were of an unusually excellent order. Some fine music, and recitals were heard, the children's contributions in particular being very highly enjoyable. Dr. Ed- wards, one of the musical, adjudicators, made special comment in regard to the playing of the four boys in the children's violin solo competition, and declared that he did not remember ever having heard better efforts at any Eisteddfod. The renderings in the chief solo competitions were also of a very high order, and the recitals in the adult competition evoked great praise from the adjudicator. Originally, three parties entered in the choral competition, but only two com- peted, viz., Ystradgynlais and Fforest Fach, Cwmllynfell failing to put in an appearance. Both gave fine renderings of the test piece, "My love is like a red, red rose" (Emlyn Evans), but in an- nouncing the decision of the judges, Dr. Richards pointed out that Ystradgynlais were awarded the prize for correct inter- pretation, Fforest Fach having made one or, two obvious technical slips. This decision evidently met with the entire approval of the audience, and the suc- cessful choir was accorded hearty con- gratulations on its achievement. To the conductor rIr. Edgar 0. Morgan) in par- ticular, great praise is due. as we leain that the party h.:o8 not been rehearsing more than a month. In view of this fact their singing was remarkably good. THE POEM COMPETITION. I The ode competition attracted only four entries, a small number compared with the numbers received in others. The subject was "Jacob in Pc-niel," and the prize was awarded to Mr. Rees Rees (Cardiff), and as the winner was not pre- sent, no chairing ceremony took place. It is, however, interesting to note that this is the Bard's 20th Eisteddfod suc- cess. The children's choir competition was highly interesting and enjoyable. Throe parties, BirchgTove, Abercrave and Cwrn- llynfell, sang, and their efforts were re- ceived with considerable appreciation. The teat piece was that pretty and tune- ful composition by Mr. D. W. Rowlands (Cwmtwrch), entitled "Hosannah," and in a close competition the first, prize of JB4 went to Birchgrove (conductor, Mr. Richard Leyshon), the second to Aber- crave (conductor, Mr. Rees Roberts). Dr. W. Bickerton-Eidwards, of Crynant, had kindly consented to be president of the Eisteddfod, but unfortunateJy he was unable to be present. Othwr officials were Canductkv, Rev. R. Beynon, B.A., Abercrave; adjudicators, music, Dr. T. D. Edwards, Treharris, and Mr. L. J. Owein, L. & F.T.S.C. (Director of Music in Elementary and Secondary Schools, In. nerneos, Scotland, and formerly of Cwm- twrdi) literatmre, Rev. R. Beynon; ac- companists, Miss Cerklwen Jones, Seven Sisters, and Mr. J. Thomas, Maes Marchog; harpist, Mr. S. Powell, Glyn neath. ABLE LEADERS. I Mr. D. R. Lewis was chairman of the committee responsible for all the arrange- ments relating to the Eisteddfod; Messrs. J. Thomas (schoolmaster) -and R. Jones were the secretaries, and Mr. W. T. Lewis officiated as treasurer. It would, perhaps, be invidious to specify names, but we feel justified; in saying that to the painstaking and able work of the secretaries, a great part of the suc- cess of the Eisteddfod is due. Both la- boured unremittingly for the event, and but for their efficient organisation, their tact and their kindness it is quite cer- tain that the Eisteddfod would not have l. een such a pleasurable and successful function. The proceeds of the event are in aid of the fund3 of Mariaii Baptist Chapel. RESULTS. The following is a complete list of the I resul ts Solo for Boys under 15, "Ynadawiad y Brenin.

Adjudicating on the children's choir competition, Air. Owen spoke as follows Birchgrove.—This choir had good tone, but there was too much "switch-back" singing in their performance, too much up and down, down and up movement. That was not the proper way to render the pieoe. They made a few errors, one of them being on page 1 where they sang "Soh Soh Me" for "Soh Fah Me." In other places too, their rendering was not in accordance with the copy. Thev were slightly out of tune on page 1, but for articulation and enunciation, their performance was delightful. Their end- ings were weak. Abercrave.—Had a fine tone Lut their voices were far too forced. Their inton- ation was slightly shady all through, and they cut the endings too much. These should have been rounded more. There were several faults in reading page 1. Sopranos singing "Soh" instead of "Lah." The second movement was not so well done as page 1, and the attack was weak. They forced part of the end- ing. Cwmllynfell.—Had a glorious opening except for intonation. As far as the ren- dering went, it was by far best. They had the best voices, the best conception of the piece, but in places they were wholly out of tune. Dr. Richards and himself were sorry for this because the choir had a beautiful child-like tone. Under the circumstances, the prize would go to the first choir for their general rendering. The second to No. 2. The latter awa.rd would have gone to No. 3, but for their marring the first page ren- dering. POEM COMPETITION. In the course of brief remarks on the poem competition, the Rev. R. Beynon, B. A., said four efforts had been sub- mitted on the subject, "Jacob in Peniel." They were by Liwdydd Liw Nos," "Llyn faia," "Gloewach Nen," and "Malo Clogwyni." The first two were too prosaic, but their efforts were quite as good as the latter two. The otkers were, however, more poetical and had a b-etter expression. The work of the first two was too general; they did not get at the heart of the subject. "Gloewach Nen" was a good poet, but seemed to be careless in his expression and had not taken sufficient time to scan the subject. He was quite as good a poet as the win- ner, but his treatment was not complete. "Malo Clogwyni" was the best, beoouse it was a more complete picture of Jacob in Peniel. The general competitions were good, but not great. Winner, Mr. Rees Rees, Cardiff. CHIEF CHORAL. Dr. Edwards said This competition has been a keen one, and both choirs gave a good performance. No. 1 F fore,-tfach. --Good voices, par- ticularly the sopranos the blend was good but at times the altos were weak, while the basses did not give the excel- lent foundation that those of No. 2 gave. They had a fine light part-song style, but there were a few faults that marred the performance, the tone of the tenors on the 3rd note E of their solo lacked unity; it was scattered, while the cre.¡;-II cendos were always tame particularly on page 5, 211di bar, but their diminuendos were well defined. The little figures of melody in the inner parts did not receive sufficient attention; on the whole a good performance. No. 2, Ystradgynlais.—Voices good much better basses, but the sopranos were not quite so good as those of No. 1. The blend at times was faulty. They were a bit heavy in style, but gave a more correct reading of expression, their crescendos and diminuendos were well done, and this choir reached a far superior climax on the con forza. They also did better justice to the little figures of melody in the inner parts. Mr. Owen and I agree that this choir excels on the other choir by a point or two owing to their good expression, and deserves the prize. ('Loud applause).

INTERESTING GOWER RELIC. Valuable Celtic Cross Found. Carmarthenshire Antiquarian Society I entered into a fresh field during the week- end by visiting some of the principal antiquities of Gower. The party, con- sisting of about 50 members of the society, were conveyed in motor brancs. At Stouthall Woods the com- paratively unknown Celtic cross was visited. It transpired through questions put by Mr. Eyre Evans, a member of the Commission on Ancient Monuments, that although the Cambrian Archaeological Society and other bodies and individuals had scoured Gower in quest of its anti- quities, yet it had remained for the Car- marthenshire Antiquarian Society to be the first of its kind to visit the ancient relic. The Rev. E. Davies, author of "Celtic Researches and Mythology of the Druids," who was long rector of Bishop- eton, and died there in 1831, made no mention whatever of it. The cross is an upright shaft about 5ft. high, having on one side interlaced Celtic work and on the other a cross, the latter, it is sup- posed, being the work of Christian ,.f.: sionaries. The shaft 6tands on a double circular platform, the upper part of which is an old millstone. Cobnel IorgaJl stated that he had taken Professor Rhys to see the stone, and he pronounced the inscriptions as belonging to the fifth or sixth century. The Colonel stated that up to a hundred years ago there was no knowledge of the stone. He presumed it had been carried to its present position by a Mr. Lucas, a former resident of Stouthall. At a farm near by the party inspected a man trap, which was pur- chased by Mr. A. S. Galston for the society, to be placed in its museum at Carmarthen.

I INTENDED FOB RABBIT. I I COLLIER ACCIDENTALLY SHOT I BY A GAMEKEEPER. I < A romarkablo shooting accident oc- curred at the Gnoll estate, near Neath, on Tuesday night. A local collier, named Joe White, received in the bach and left, arm the full charge of shot intended hy a gamekeeper for a. rabbit. At the time of the accident White was ly" ing in a ditch near the lower pond, and was hidden from the keeper's view by the heavy under- growth. The rabbit- wa also shot., and it was r not until the gametieejier was about to v< +h?t he discovered White » groaning in the ditch.
