COODWICK. Football.—In consequence of the many calls upon his time as Captain commanding No. 4 Company of the Peinbroneshire Royal Garrison Artillery (T.F.), Mr. G. E Dunsdon has been compelled reluctantly to resign the captaincy of the Goodwick Rugby Football team, by whom the loss of his services will be greatly felt. Booth Boat.—The R.M.S. "Anslem" of the Booh Steam Shipping Company, Liverpool, homeward bound from the Brazils, is due to call at Fishguard on the 22nd inst., for the purpose of landing passengers bent on spend-* ing Christmas in the Mother Country. Harbour Arbour.—A large number of the mountain plants recently placed at the foot of the beetling crags overlooking the approach to the Harbour Station are now in full blossom, and present a wonderful picture of delicate shades of mauve against a back-ground com- posed of dull green foliage and ochre-hued rocks. Debating Society.—The subject for discus sion at Friday's meeting of this organisation will be the advantages of Socialism, which will be advanced by Mr. D. twion Thomas, and denied by Mr. 0. D. Jones. Both gentlemen are well-known in Fishguard, where the former is a member of the Urban Council, and the latter until recently filled the office of hon. secretary to the Local Liberal Association. Both took a prominent part in the recent parliamen- tary bye-election. Turbine Tattle.—Early on Sunday morning the turbine cross-channel vessel "St. David," with Capt. Gerity on the bridge, was again placed upon the Rosslare service, after hav- ing been fitted with a new propeller in lieu of the one damaged recently, and having under- gone her periodical survey at Birkenhead. This released the "St. George" from service, and she is now lying up for a fortnight, during which her boilers will be cleaned. Lighting of Pen Cw.—It is now feared that the petrolite lamp, with whichi experiments have for sometime been carried out by the Parish Council, will prove unsuited to the re- quirements of the G.W.R. Company's Harbour Village on Pen Cw, for, although it gives a brilliant light of 100 candle-power, its com- bustion creates a noise which is said to resem- blet of a miniature foghorn, and to be de- cidedly unpleasant to those residing n the locality. 'The lamp works upon a peculiar principle. The oil* receptacle is lined with some absorbent stone or composition which sucks up the oil, and subsequently releases it in the form of gas, the burning of which pro- vides the illumination Saturday Smoker.—There was a good attend- ance at the picturesquely-decked Glendower Hall on Saturday evening, when an admirable concert programme was submitted by the 43--d- -ick, A mnscmr.\ i>i .Thii- hon. secretary (Mr. A. Richardson) to whose enter- prise and indefatigable efforts the movement owes its inception, intimates the concerts would be continued until next March, and invites all who wish to spend an enjoyable hour or so to visit the hall, on Saturday even- ings. The special concert, which was to be held this week, has been deferred in view of the fact that several ex-members of the Hockey Club are expected to spend Christmastide at Goodwick, and it is hoped to combine the function with a hearty welcome to the visitors. This does not, of course, imply that no con- cert will be held on Saturday next. Christmas Traffic.-The goods and parcels traffic on the various cross-channel routes con- verging at Fishguard Harbour, is always very high at Christmastide, but indications are not lacking that this year will. in all probability, create a record. At the time of writing the carter's strike, which has been in progress in Dublin for some time past, shows no sign of coming to an end, and should it continue much longer it must inevitably strike a severe blow at the Christmas traffic via Holyhead, greatly to the benefit of the local route. Parti- culars as to what transpired at Cork on Tuesday are lacking, but we understand that a meet- ing between discontented wharfingers and re- presentatives of the City of Cork Steamship Company was to be held that day, and that if the former's demands were not conceded they were determined to renew the strike which recently collapsed. Such an event would only benefit the G.W.R. Company by the diver- sion of Cork traffic via Rosslare, and the cattle via Waterford, against which must be set the inconvenience caused by the over- crowding of vessels upon these two routes, and the delay occasioned at Fishguard by the ar- rival from two ports of consignments which usually emanate from three. Social.—A largely-attended and highly suc- cessful social evening was spent in the English Congregational Chapel on Wednesday of last week, under the presidency of the pastor (Rev. S. A. Evans). Refreshments were served, the catering afforded the utmost possible satisfac- tion, and the following admirable vocal and instrumental programme was presented, Miss Ruby Davies ably accompanying:—Pianoforte selection, "Tarantella," Miss Ruby Davies; solo, "Down the vale," Mrs. Mansfield; solo, "Beyond," Mr. G. Bennett: solo, "The swallows," Miss Nelscn; violin solo, Minuet in E f (a), Minuet in C (b). Mr. G. L. Black- burn; solo, "Green Isle cf Erin," Miss M. Bevan; solo, "Gates of the West," Mrs. Lewis Williams; solo, "Alice, where art thou," Mr. James Owen; violin duet, "The sacred wreath," Messrs. G. L. Blackburn and G. L. Davies; solo, "Dear homeland," Mrs. Mansfield; solo, Moiia," Mr. G. Bennett; duet, "Farewell, life is o'er," Mrs. Lewis WiUiams and Miss M. Bevan. The whole of the artis es partici- pating acquitted themselves with marked ability, and. at the close of the proec-adings, were heartily thanked for their respective con- tributions. Gramaphonc selections also served to enliven a very pleasant evening, wh: h was brought to a successful close by the enthusias- tic singing of the English National AritL-.m. ———ii ■ ■■ i.
