The letter bags were labelled for Belfast, and left by the ss St. Andrew. Hockey Club.—The members of the newly- formed Goodwick Hockey Club held a practice match on the sands Saturday afternoon last. The game was greatly enjoyed by the partici- pants. It is believed that the committee of the club are arranging fixtures for the winter season. On Tuesday evening a meeting was convened to make further arrangements for the carrying on of the club.—Another practice match will take place at Goodwick next Satur- day, and all intending members of the club should communicate with Mr. Downey, of Swansea House, Goodwick, who is acting as hon. secretary pro. tem. Illness of the Vicar.—Many residents 01 Goodwick and di.rict will learn with regret that the. Rev. E. Lincoln Lewis (vic-ar). has been seriously indisposed during the past week. The rev. gentleman, on returning home from Switzerland, where he had spent a very plea- sant holiday, contracted a severe chill ;but we are pleased to state that he is now recovering from its effects., He was, however, unable to undertake the services at St. Peters on Sunday. The curate, the Rev. J. Jenkins. being away on holidays, assistance was requisitioned, and the officiating clergy were the Rev. Mr. Evans (brother of the vicar of Pontfaen), and the Rev. Mr. Jenkins, vicar of Kilgerran, and brother of the curate). Visit of the s.s Suffolk.—On Sunday morning the Houlder liner, the s.s. Suffolk, outward bound from Liverpool for Australian pons, called off the harbour, and set down her pilot. Dredging for Coal.—The dredger, s.s Porteur has been constantly used during the past week for dredging coal from the bed of the harbour. Considerable quantities have been removed. Enormous Traffic.-We are informed, that the passengers who were dealt with at the Harbuur Station during the months of June. July and August, numbered about 7,000: and that the cargo and parcels traffic between Eng- land, Wales, and Ireland on the G.W. Railway's system shows an enormous increase according to the recently compiled statistics.' is Irish Passengers for the Exhibition.—The exhibition in London has attracted a con- siderable number of Irish visitors, who have favoured the Rosslare and Fishguard route. It is stated that the turbine steamer which ar- rived on Friday from Rosslare had carried about 500 passengers from various districts in the Emerald Isle, and they proceeded to Padd- ington by special excursion train. The Eucharist Visitors.—The Eucharist Con- gress proceedings in London during the past week was visited by large numbers of the Catholic fraternity in Ireland, and who jour- neyed to the Metropolis via the Fishguard route. On Monday afternoon the Paddington Boat Express was patronised by many Roman Catholic clergy and their friends who returned to Ireland by the s.s St. Andrew. The s.s St. Patrick.—The G. W. Railway Company's turbine steamer "St. Patrick" is at present laying in the harbour for the cleaning of her boilers. The s.s St. Andrew.—The latest addition to the G. W. Railway's fleet of turbine vessels has resumed her position on the station between Fishguard and Rosslare, and is being com- manded by Capt. Gerity. The vessel carried nearly 2,000 passengers to Rosslare on Monday afternoon. Mr. W. T. Gray.—After a short holiday at Weymouth, Mr. W. T. Gray. the Quay Super- intendent and Stationmaster, returned to his residence at the Quay Road, Goodwick, at the ) latter end of last week, and he was present at the services held in St. Peters Church on Sunday last. He is stated to have much im- proved in health, but is not yet sufficiently re- covered to enable him to recommence his duties at the station and quay. His friends wish him a speedily and complete recovery. G. W. Railway General Manager.—Mr. Inglis, the general manager of the G. W. Railway Company, who paid a visit to the Harbour and Station last week, returned to Paddington af- ter having enjoyed a yachting cruise with Lord Winterstobe, one of the directors. The steam yacht conveyed them to the Harbour. Lord Winterstobe journeyed per train to Yat- ton. English Baptist Church.—The pulpit at the services held in the Reading Room in connec- tion with the English Baptists (Bethesda) )Church on Sunday last, was occupied by Mr. John Bowen, of Plaverfordwest, who preached eloquent discourses. The congregations were very large. Occasional Police Courts.—We are informed through a reliable source that recently certain local members of the magistracy paid a visit to Goodwick for the purpose of ascertaining whether there was a suitable building avail- able for the holding of Occasional Police Courts for the district. It is understood that the justices, after inspecting the Glendower Hall, at the rear of the Glendower Hotel, have decided to recommend the Standing Joint Committee at its meeting, to be held early next month, to adopt the hall for the propoFed court. If the recommendation meets with the approval of the Committee it is believed that the police cases emanating from Goodwick and its immediate district will be dealt with there, and that the new system will come into operation next month. The New Ocean Quay.—Within the next week there is every probability the general public will witness the work in connection with the New Ocean Quay being proceeded with brislvly in order to prepare it for the berthing of liners, and dealing with the passenger a,to cargo vessels. Already unusual activity is ob- served amongst the G. W. Railway Company's employees of a building section of the Con- struction Department; and a new spacious locomotive shed hal been erected near the Ocean Quay. This structure will shortly be completed and ready for the "housing" of the G. W. Railway Company's locomotives, and the fitters, etc. departments, and it is stated that the old sheds, etc.. in the centre of Good- wick .and near the Goodwick Station, are to be demolished at an early date. A's was inti- mated in the columns of the "County Guard- ian" some weeks ago, a booking office, to- gether with customs house, and telegraph de- partments are to be provided on the Quay, and to all intents and purposes there will be an Ocean Quay Station. We understand that the timber for this purpose has arrived in sections from Swindon for speedy erection. Other minor, yet extensive arrangements have been made in the supplying of the necessary railway books, and stationery, etc., for the new station, and there is every indication that an important movement is afoot between the Railway Com- pany a steamship company for the calling of a liner.
