The Welshman

FoR years and years people have been talking of what should be done to make Carmarthen a bright and attractive town and a good residential place. That is the desire of the inhabitants, it would seem, and yet it is difficult to believe it, considering how their "representatives" act. So far from anything being done towards this end, there appears to be some danger of the town being reduced to a state in which sanitar- ians will pronounce it unfit for human habitation. Over a large part of the town for five, six, or seven weeks people have been spending so much time and exertion in searching and begging for water that they have considered themselves lucky when they could carry home enough for culinary purposes. The state of drains and back premises in many places-we do not speak of the higher streets alone-is simply horrid. Although it is winter, the condition of things is unfavourable to health, and what is permitted in winter will, through similar mismanagement, be permitted in summer. It is all very well to say the season has been very exceptional, and it cannot be helped. If the Carmarthen ratepayers choose to believe that in the progressive towns around various kinds of business have been practically suspended for six or seven weeks through want of water, that all means of securing cleanliness of private premises have been cut off, and that kitchen boilers are allowed to burst over the town, for want of water-then we can only commend the patience and philo- sophic resignation of the ratepayers. PEMBROKESHIRE can boast of more than one county club," which is fairly well known in this district; but not a few of our readers are -very possibly ignorant of the fact that London has its Pembroke County Club." And a fine, healthy, and useful club it is. It maintains a union and regularity of communication among Pembrokeshire men in London which cannot fail to be pleasant and serviceable to them in more ways than one. Last year these "exiles" in the Metropolis had their first annual dinner, which passed off so agreeably that the members of the Club have resolved to repeat the happy experiment. This year's dinner will take place at the Holborn Restaurant, at 7.30, on Saturday, Xarch 30th. The number of the tickets is not unlimited, and so it is hoped that applications will be made early to save disappointment. The lion. sees. are Mr T W Ormiston, 11, Wilmot- place, N.W., and Mr John R Meyrick, 382, Holloway-road, N., while'Mr T A Prickett, 112, Gower-street, W.C., bets as treasurer. There is every reason to expect that the dinner this year will be still more successful than it was on the last occasion. There need be no difficulty in bringing together a good attendance. The number of Pembrokeshire men employed at Chatham Dockyard alone would form the nucleus of a decent little colony. More than one of the men who began life in the Yard at Pembroke- Dock have attained distinction from home as mechanicians. Pembrokeshire men are equally successful, and by no means thinly represented in other departments of London life. There are for instance, Mr Freeman Lloyd, the noted sporting journalist, Mr Adams (of whom we epoke last year), the successful headmaster of the most successful elementary school in Great Britain, if not in the world, and many others Who might be named. We heartily wish the Pembroke lads a happy meeting at this their second annual dinner, and trust that a report of the proceedings will reach us in good time. THE Times had an article on the political out- look the other day, in which it promised the Conservatives two South Wales seats at next election, namely, Radnorshire and the Pembroke Boroughs. It is too bad that the little London journal should steal ideas in this way from the Welshman. A week or two ago we ventured to say that the Pembroke Boroughs seat was the only one in these Three Counties which the Conservatives had a fair chance of capturing, although their cause is not quite hopeless in the county of Pembroke, or even in West Carmartbei-i shire with so popular a candidate as Mr. W. J. Buckley. The result of the County Council elections at Tenby, Pembroke, Haverfordwest and Pembroke-Dock go far to prove that what we have said respecting the growth of Conservative feeling in the Boroughs. But there has been too much party manoeuvring. It commonly happens that mischief is done by introducing politics into the election of local representative bodies, and it has been so to some extent in the present case. At Pembroke- Dock, for instance, things have gone wrong. Dr Stamper, a Conservative, has succeeded in retaining his seat, and we are glad of it, for be is a very useful man. On the other hand Mr. I. Smedley, a Liberal Churchman, notwith- standing his signal services to the public, has somehow been defeated by a Conservative Nonconformist. Mr. Smedley is one of the best financiers in the county, and has been indefatigable in his advocacy of Pembroke- Dock interests, besides being a champion of the best interests of the ratepayers through- out the county. Surely the County Council will not fail to elect Mr. Smedley an alderman on the first opportunity that offers. AT length there is a rift in the black cloud of depression, and things begin to look a little hope- ful for the farmers. People who have stock to dispose of, at any rate, find the prospect brighter than it has been for some years. Good sheep run up to tenpence a pound, and, in fact, we have seldom, if ever, during the past lieven years seen better prices than are now offered for mutton. Cattle, too, have greatly advanced as compared with what they were a short time ago. There is a hrisk demand just now for an almost unlimited jsupply of store cattle for the Yorkshire trade. At St. Clears market on Wednesday (where, accord- ing to an eye-witness, there were three dealers to every bullock ") this demand for stores was tremendous. The few fat cattle procurable were bought up at about eleven shillings a score, atid bulls were sold for nine shillings. Unfortunately, the high price of mutton is in some degree owing to (the great mortality among sheep. In many places they perished by thousands during the late storm. Most experienced men, including dealers, believe that the increase in prices will continue. As regards sheep there can hardly be a doubt about it, and it is probable in the case of cattle like- wise-

KIDWELLY Tbe election of a conncillor to represent Kidwally on the Carmarthenshire Oounty Council took place on Monday in the ancient borongh. Mr Stepbena who has been the representative for the last six years, was opposed by Mr Holmes Sread, the present mayor, and was defeated at the p',ll, Mr Stead scoring a majority of 23 votes. Three years ago Mr Stephen* was opposed by Mr Rowland Browne, but polled a majority of 33 votes over Mr Browne at the election. The election this time was touht in a most warm manner, Mr Stephens's war cry being Liberalism and Welsh. While Mr Stead contended tbbt politics had nothing to do with the administration of the Count, Council. 464 votes out of th e 490 on the registrar polled, Mr D C Edwards being the deputy returning officer. The result was made, known at about 8.45 and was as follows :-Stead, 243; Stephens, 220. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed upon hearing the num- bers, and the successful candidate was triumphantly pulled to Broombill in an unhorsed trap.

THE "SLEEVER." I At t4e Div!«ion Petty Sessions, Carmarthen? on Saturday Ia<t.{P.C. T V Rees, acting as inspector Onf Weights And Measures, obtained convictions against two publicans, who, unsuspecti&gly, supplied him with 11 aleevera." What are 11 sleevers," asked the Chairebao r In reply to this question from an unsophisticated: Bench, the Inspector proceeded to initiate the magistrates, explaining that a sleever" was a tall glass of beer. which had taken tbe place of the blue in some public-booses. In England, more parricularly in the Midlands, the blue" or the "sleever" has its equivalent in the cap," which contains the same quantity, more than half a pint, bot not a pint, for which twopeoea is paid. By measure there should be about three gills, but it is not a "tandud measure, not measure recognised by law, and any pmblican supply. ing a blue," or a ateofer," or a cup," is liable, if fee does not happen te live in a borough where there is not such a rigorous supervision in such matters, to be pounced upon by an inspector and may have to pay dead; for supplying drinks with fanciful names. Bloo the magistrates knew, but the U øleever to Surely some wily Saxon introduced the term for the purpose of deceiving the on wary constable. It is a slang term, of coarse. Very,probably it is a corruption of a long sleeved one, applied to the big glass, not uncommon in working men's clubs. It is a big drink. If a working nan is thirst j, an ordinary glass it like a drop ma bucket. Besides, there may be more cheating over the glass than there is in either the bine" or the "sleever." If you call for a glass, the publican can supply it in what sized glass be pleases, and charge what he likes for it. It may be thought that this is inconsistent, and that the law is capricious in this matter. Perhaps so. The gentleman can call for his glass of bitter and get it. In an hotel he may have the luxury of paying threepence or even fourpenoe for it, but if the working man callt for a sleever he is not to have it. The law discourages slang, especially when applied to illegal measures. Blue." aleever," or "cup," was preferable to the old term" pot." That it nearly obsolete like 11 bowl." Both the latter are too suggestive of U the deep, deep draught." An old old convivial song used to run, Old Toby Tosspot was a thirsty old soul, as ere drank a bottle, or fathomed a bowl." We do not hear much now about the flowing bowl"; it is becoming a mere poetical expression. You rarely see a bowl, except perhaps on festive occasions, when Boniface brings in a steaming bowl of punch. Over that, if you like punch, it is possible to get just a trifle mellow and to øing- He who rails at the bowl is a Turk In hi* soul, no Christian ere will own him." That is a sentiment to which the Clerk to the Magistrates would probably not subscribe, for in making up his bill of costs he said he did not think they should allow P.O. T V Rees the price of two sleevers," which he obtained in each oase, so that he will have to send his bill In to the Chief Constable. There should be a debate on that in the County Council. Here is a knotty question for solution: How can you find out whether a pablioan is obeying the law or not unlets your inspector orders a "sleever" and drinks the beer; but, supposing he is allowed to do that, how can you, if you are a teetotaller, conscientiously pay for the inspector's beer? Someone will probably cut the Gordian knot, because the inspector must do bit duty, and he most be a man of the world and know all the lateat slang terms for a drink. P.O. Rees happens to be such a man. He is well versed in the measurement of botb solids and liquids, and could teach the Banch a thing or two about the laws which govern the resolution of forces when applied to scales and weights. In these matters be is a pret y safe authority, and he ouaht to be allowed the coat of the sleevers" for teaching his betters a new le--son concerning bibulous slang. The poet may sing, It Fill high .the bowl with Ssmian wine," but if a working-man, nowadays, sings out for a "slee,er," and gets it, the publican may have to pay half-&- qoid" for obliging the customer. At least, that is the moral of the leaaou that was taught by the Carmarthen County Bench last Saturday.

CARMARTHEN RACES ABANDONED. I A meeting of the stewards of the Carmarthen Hunt Steeplechases was held at the Boar's Head Hotel, Lammas street, Carmarthen yesterday (Thursday), when Captain Grismond Philippe, Cwmgwilly, pre- sided, and the Mayor (Mr H Brunei White), Aldermm T Jenkins (The Friary), Mr T Parkioson (Castle Piilyn), were present. After the prospects of a meeting had been discussed it was resolved on the motion of Mr T Jenkins, seconded by Mr Brunei White, that the secretary write to Messrs Wetherby informing them that, as only one race had filled, the Llanelly Selling Steeplechase—seven entries being requisite- ttie stewards had decided to abandon the meeting. Accord- ingly the entrance f es will be returned. Hopes have been expressed that some kind of meeting will be got up in the autumn. We have bad long postponements on a faw former occasions, but this appeatll to be the first time within living memory that the Carmarthen Races have been wholly abandoned.

INTERESTING LECTURE AT CARMARTHEN.—On Thurs- day, 28tb ult, a lecture was delivered by tbe wellknown lecturer the Rev J Gurnos Jones, at Lammas-street Schoolroom, Carmarthen The subject of the leoture Cam a Phriodi was essentially an interesting one, and it is not surprising that the Tev gentleman drew a very large audienoe. Apart from the fact that the leoture was interesting, it waa also one of great importance, and the manner in which the lecturer treated it was bighly appreciated by everyone who were fortunate enough to be present. The Rev D Evans, pastor, occupied tbe chair. The Rev Gurnos Jones dealt very minutely with the two portions of his lecture, and touched chiefly upon the moral aspect of the case. In doing ao he tendered valuable hints and information, and in a clear and simple fashion that no one failed to appreciate his remarks. A vote of thanks to the lecturer and chair- man erminated the proceedings.

MISSIONARY MEETINGS AT PBNUBL AND THE TABERNACLE, CARMARTHEN.—At Penuel( Welsh Baptist) Chapel, Priory-street, Carmarthen, on Sunday morning last, tbe Rev D Jones, miasionary from Agra, in India, delivered a very instructive and entertaining address on missionary work in Hindoostan. He described the cruel and superstitious habits of the people, referring to tbe way in which their lives were sacrificed by being thrown into the Ganges, etc. In the afternoon, the rev. gentleman delivered a popular lecture intended chiefly for the children The Sunday school children from the Tabernaale went up to Penuel in procession to join the young people of tbat congregation, and the chapel was quite crowded, there being some 900 present, reckoning children aDd adults. In the after- noon discourse the lecturer interested the children by describing how the Indian children played marbles and the like. The leciurer spoke at 'hejTabernacle in the evening, and the attendance tbere was also large. MB. LLOYD MORGAN'S BILL FOR PAYING JURORS.— Mr J Lloyd Morgan's Bill (backed by Mr Arthor Williams and Mr Abel Thomas) has been introduced in tbe House of Commons, and appears to be much the same as that which h6 brought torward last year. Its leading provisions are that every man summoned as a common juryman fur the trial of criminals or civil actions at the assizes or quarter sessions lor any county, riding division, or borough in England and Wales shall receive remuneration at the rate of 7s for every day of his attendance; that every such juror shall also receive the sum of 5s for every night which he is obliged to spend away from home, and shall also receive for travelling to and from the assize or quarter sessions the amount of his second-class railway fare, and threepence per mile each way for tbat part of his journey where there is no railway and that the order f jr the payments of these allowances shall be made by the proper officer of tbe court, and the monev shall be paid by the treasurer for the county, riding, division, or borough in which tbe court shall be held one moiety of eucb payments shall be reimbursed by the Com- missioners of Her Majesty's Treasury. FAREWELL SMOKER TO MR EVAN MORRIS, CARMAR- THEN.—A "Iarewell" smoker was given at the Plough Inn on Tuosrfay night to Mr Evan Morris, formerly of Mrs D H Rees, on his departure for Pontypool. Mr Herbert W Davies occupied the chair, and there was a large company present. Songs were given by the following gentlemen Mr Joseph Isaac, Mr D Thomas, Mr W Morrish, Mr A Lynch, Mr Harvard, Mr John Jenkins, Mr J Davies, Mr Fox, Mr Tom Morris, Mr Joseph Lewis, and Mr David Rees. Due'ts were rendered by Mr H F Divies and Mr F Trencbard, and also by Mr Joseph Lewis and Mr J Davies; a pleasing zither solo by Mr Ned Edwards, a stomp speech by Mr D Thomas, and a dramatic sketch by Mr Gomer Da-ietl. Mr D J Lewis greatly delighted the audience with his songs and whistling symphonies. Mr Victor Jones's violin solos were quite a treat. An ornamental gold medal, supplied by Mr John Williams, jeweller, Lammas-street, was presented to Mr Morris as a token of esteem from the members of the club. Medals were also presented to Mr Fred Andrews, Mr W Rogers, while presentations were also made to Mr Phil Lewis and Mr Richard Oliviee, all of whom have left tbe town. Mr Morris was most popular amongst the cyclists of Carmarthen, and besides being chairman of the Carmarthen Cycling Club for many years in succession, was also tt e N.C.U. official judge. Mr T Puddicombe acted as accompanist in bis usual "tyie. MR WILLIS BUND, Q.C., AND THE WORCESTERSHIRE POLICE.—There is commonly something lively going round in public bodies with which Mr Willis Bund is connected. At his recommendation the Chief Con. stable of Worcestershire dismissed Superintendent Kemp after 25 years' service and within six weeks' of the time when he would have been entitled to a pension of :£105. Mr Kemp took an action for slander against his accusers, and the jury, expressing disbelief in the evidence of his accusers, adding that they would have given more only that they hoped some way would be found by which he might obtain bis pension. Now the chief of his accusers is bankrupt. Mr Kemp's solicitor cannot get the damages or costs, and be is unable to institute bankruptcy proceedings. When his petition came before the County Council, Mr Willis Bund tendered his resignation as chairman of the Police Committee, and the Council refused to accept it. This vote of confidence in Mr Bund means that in spite of the deoision of the jury and Mr Justice Matthew poor Kemp is t" obtain no redress. The Police Review says the question before the council was nol. whether Mr Kemp was wrongfully dismissed, but whether Mr Willis Buod's resignation should be accepted. "Now," atldsonr contemporary, the highest judges in tbe land do not threaten to resign if their judgments are reversed, and who is Mr Willis Bund that he should thus declare bis immaculacy P" LECTURE AT BABELL, PENSARN.—On Wednesday, 27th ult, a very interesting and instructive lecture was delivered at the above place (whioh was kindly lent for the occasion) by Mr J Patagonia Lewis, tbe subject being J" Patagonia," the Welsh Colony in South America.

The chair was occupied by Mr J F Morris, solicitor. The proceeds are to be applied to the alleviation of the distress now so prevalent in the town. Great praise it due to our esteemed townsman for his efforts on behalf of his poorer neighbours. This ia the second lecture delivered by him on their behalf in one week.

TOM: LYNCH, THE HATTER.—It is with siocere regiet that we have to reoord the death of Mr Thomas Lynch, which sad event took place at his residence, 54, Water- street, Carmarthen, on Monday last. Mi Lynch had resided in the town all his life, and was well reapected and known as an enthusiast in political matters. He was a promiDent Conservative, taking a leading part in promoting the Conservative interest during the great Parliamentary elections of the past, when party feeling ran high. He was always eager to render valuable assistance to his party during electioneering times as a fierce Red." Indeed, he would never vote for any man, for any voice, antes the candidate was Red all over." He was a well-known figure at the earliest Primrose Leagce meetings. One of the Cardiff papers has stated that Tom Lynch was the last of the Carmar. then hatters, but this is a mistake. It is true that Mr Lynch had throughout his life-time followed the occupation of hat-making, but there still lives in Car- marthen an old bat-maker in the person of Mr T Davies, residing in Lammas-street with his son-in-law, Mr Mathias. Mr Da-iea did not carry on the business of a batter permanently, for he gave up that occupation and was latterly employed as a roral postman for Talog. Mr Lynch was an excellent business man, and amassed a sufficient sum of money as to enable him to retire from business several years ago. He was quite a large employer of labour when the manufacture of bats was one of the moat flourishing, and perhaps the chief of trades in Carmarthen. Deceased, who was 80 years of age at the time of his death, leaves a brother and sister, Mr Francis Lynch, formerly proprietor of Tarran. y Qweithivr at Aberdare, and now of Bryn- hyfryd, and Mrs Alicia Pugb, who resided with deceased during the greater part of his life-time, and ever since the death of her husband. The funeral, which took place yesterday (Thursday) at St David's Churchyard, Carmarthen, was attended by men only. CARMARTHEN COUNTY PBTTY SESSIONS.—The usual petty sessions were held at the Shire-hall, Carmarthen, on,Saturday last, before Mr C W Jones, Carmarthen, in the chair: Mr Dudley Williams Drummond, Portis- cliff and Mr J Lloyd Thomas, Giliact). -Defective Weights and Scales: P.O. T V Kees, inspector of weights and weasurl-a. summoned Richard Williams, butcher, Llanstepban, for having in his possession defective weights and scales. Defendant did not appear. Mr Bent-ow, an uncle of defendant's appeared in his stead. Inspector Rees said that he visited defendant's shop, and found two 561b weights, one beiog 2 ounces 9 drachms short and the other 12 drachma short. Defendant was a'so charged with having in his possess. ion an unstamped scale. A fine of 6d' with 10s costs in each case was imposed.—Catherine Davies, Rose and Crown Inn, Llandefeilog, was charged with a similar offence. According to the evidence there were two lib weights 1 drachm and 5 drachms short respectively, besides the scales, which were of wooden manufacture. These, the Inspector informed the Benob, could not be recognised. The Inspector had warned the defendant before. A fine of 2a in each case was imposed together with ;Cl costs.-Thomas Rees, grocer, Ferryside, was charged with unlawfully placing a piece of lead under the pan of his scale, being 6 draohms against the purchaser. Mr C W Jones- That is unlawfully adjusting his scales. Inspector Rees, after tendering his evidence, produced the scales, and showed theBeoch how the purchaser was defrauded by the affixing of lead to the pan of the soles. Defendllnt. as fined 28 with 8d costs Publicans Beware: Ann Williams, B.ack Horse, Llandehie, was charged with selling beer in a measure other than the standard measure. Inspector T V R* es remarked that the measure in question was a 11 ileever." Mr C W Jones: A" sleever P" Inspector RT-es Yeti, bir. Mr .Tones: Wbat is a tloever ? Mr J L Thomas. Gillach, informed Mr Jones that it was a measure used in place of the imperial pint. Inspector Rees con- tinuing, said that he visited the public-house in question, and was served with two "sleevers" (produced). Sleevers" were not standard measures, but glasses, which bad begun to take the place of the old blue." "Sleevers" contained 3 gills. Witness said be paid 4d for the beer. The Clerk said he would not advise the Bsnch to allow for the beer. The Chief Constable said that the Inspector was entitled to get it. He could not charge the defendant with it, but he could charge the county. Defendant wa° fined Is with 9s costs. John Lewis, Farmers' Arms, nstepban, was charged with a similar offence. A fine o. ,-a and costs was imposed. THE WELSH REGIMENT. The 41st Regii-uutal District, (the old 418t and the 69th, forming its first and second battalions, and the third battalion) hap four Volunteer battalions attached to it, the 1st having its headquarters at Haverfordwest, the 2nd at Margam and Taib-ch, the 3rd at Cardiff, and the 4th (the 3rd Glamorgan Rifles) at Swansea. The 3rd Vcinnteer Battalion is the second largest in the United Kingdom. In 1787, the 1st Battalion becama an effeotive regiment of the line. The 2nd Battalion, first raised in 1756 as a reserve to the 24th Regiment (now the South Wales Borderers), took its place in the Army List as the 69th Regiment, or Colville's Foot, in 1760, being sub- sequently styled the 69.h South Lincolnshire Regiment. The two battalions were linked together as the Welsh Regiment on July 1st, 1881. In 1778, (he2adBattal on was present at the capture of the Island of St Lucia from the French, and in April, 1782, they were employed as marines under Sir Samuel Hood, being present at the victory gained by Rodney and Hood over the French in the West Indies, and receiving, as a reward, permission to wear a laurel wreath round the number on their colours and accoutrements. The 2nd battalion, again acted as marines under Lord Hood at the siege of Toulon, and took part in the naval engagements with the French in the Mediterranean. In 1794 the 1st battalion was present at the capture of Martinique and St Domingo, and having buried nearly 1,500 men in the West Indies, returned to Cork in 1797. We need not describe the deeds of the old 69th, under Nelson, at the Battle of St Vincent. In 1799 the let battalion went to America, where it remained until the war of 1812 broke out, but gaining much g ory, as the names Detroit," Queenstown, "Miami," and "Niagara" on its colour8 testify. In 1815 it was present at Quatre Bras, and fought at the Battle of Waterloo. The old 41st served in India and the East frcm 1822 to 1843, taking part in the Burmese War and the Afghan campaign. No other corps gained greater repu'ation for resolution and gallantry. In 1831 King William IV. approved of the battalion being styled The 41st the Welsh Regiment," and permitted it to bear on its colours aod appointments the Prince of Wales's plume and the motto, Owell Angau na Chywilydd." In the Crimean war, the battalion took part in the battles of the Alma and of Inkerman, and the fall of Sebastopol, losing at the latter 11 officers and 151 non-comisoioned officers and men. In 1888 four companies of the battalion took part in the Soudan campaign. With reference to the forthcoming march through South Wales of the 1st Battalion, it is of interest to state that the whole of the arrangements, which have been made under the general supervision of Colonel Goldsmidt, are now practically complete. In or about the mildle of July, tbs battalion will start from Pembroke Dock, under the command of Colonel Quirke, D.S.O., and march by way of Carmarthen, Llanelly, Swansea, Neath, Mertbyr, and Pon-ypridd to Cardiff, camping in each town halted at. The battalion will number between five and six hundred men. It is just possible that it may be joined by a battalion or two of Volunteers, and thus allow of a serviceable brigade being formed. The idea seems to be very popular with the men and the public, an-1 there will be no lack of hospitality on the route. Invitations to visit certain towns have been received from corporations and other bodies, with numerous offers of suitable oamping grounds. LAUGHARNE. I THE DEATH op Miss CURTIS. Miss Curtis, the authoress of The Antiquities of Laagbarne, Pendioe, and their Neighbourhoods." died on the 1st inst, at the advanced age of eighty. She bad lived at Laugharne nearly forty years, and was universally respected. THE PROPOSED RAILWAY.—A very enthusiastic meeting in connection with this pioject was held lsat Saturday night in the Town.hall. Mr Lawrence, the engineer, was present, and gave a most favourable account of the progress of the undertaking. It had already passed the second reading in the House of Lords, and would, in all probability, be soon read a third time. A fe objections bad been lodged against it, as it always the case whenever a railway bili is brought before Parliament, but none of these were such as to cause any anxiety to the promoters. Some were very trivial, and even childish others were for the in- sertion of clauses in the Bill, some of which the engineers felt could easily be doce; so that he believed the matter would be easily settled. I SAUNDEBSFOOT. COOKERY CLASSICS.-Toe course of lessons given bv Miss Price, lasted six weeks, and terminated on Saturday. Thirty-eight school children have attended, and all but four earned the Government itrant for regularity. The attendance at the high-class numbered I fourteen, and plain thirty-eight. The committee marked their appreciation of Miss Price's valuable I services by presenting, through Mr Vickerman, a copy of the complete works of Shakepeare as a souvenir of her visit. Miss Mathias, hon secretary and treasurer, was at the same time presented with a copy of Teonysnn's works in recognition of her services. The following comprised the management Mrs Stradlig, Mrs Jones, Mra M Phillips, Mr Turl, Mr Stewart, Mr C H Vickerman, and Mr T David. LLANBOIDY. AGRICULTURAL.—Un Wednesday evening last week, Mr R Thomas, Bailey, and Mr J Thomas, Castell, ad- dressed the fortnigh'ly farmers' meeting on the manage- ment of the farm, more especially confining themselves to the farm yard and buildings. Their papers were highly appreciated. On Wednesday evening next, Mr J L Walters will address the last meeting for the winter on the treatment of farm animals. EISTEDBFOD.—On Friday evening an eisteddfod was held in the chapel. It was at first intended that it should be simply a very local affair, but the desire for competition is so keen in the locality, that the entries altogether exceeded anticipation. The programme was long, but by the good con<iuctorship of the Rev W Thomas, and the very expeditious adjudications of the Rev L Evans and Mr D Davies, Maengwynne, a most enjoyable evening was passed by the crowded audience. By some mischance the list of "ucceasful competitors bas been lost, for which reason their names are omitted from this report. But the competitions, both in sing- ing and reciting, were extremely good, while the prize essay on ambition, and the prize love letter were sucb as one would soarcely expect to meet with in an eisteddfod of this description. T MILFORD HAVEN. I ILLNESS OF liOCAL I-RADBOMEN.-We with a degree I of regret bear of the illness of Mr James Vaoghan, ale and porter merchant, and Mr William George, the Station Green, who has been an important figure in parliamentary aDd municipal elections. DEATH OF MRS. DAVIBS, PRIORY FARM.—We regret having occasion to reoord the death of Mrs Davies, wife of Mr John Davies, Priory Faros. She bad been sofferiug from ill-health for a considerable time, but until recently it was hoped ber life would be prolonged for years. The severity of the weather, b*wever, developed <resh complaints, to which deceased suo- cumbed on Friday last. She was fondly loved by her husband and family, whose loss will be a very severe one. Though rather of a retiriog disposition, the neighbourhood of Priory will miss her ia many ways. The interment took place in the New Cemetery on on Wedt esday afternoon. S.8. ARGENTINE," —This steamer was successfully docked under the direction of Mr John H Davies We commend the conduct ef the general manager of the dock company in engaging the services ol a local gentleman, whose experience of sucb matters certainly entitles him to rank as second to none either from the local it y or the metropolis. DEATH OF AN OLD INHABITANT.—With regret we announce the death of Mr James Evans, Cellar Hill Pill. Deceased was < CoiDgregationaligt, in fact, one of the oldest members of the Tabernacle. His regu. larity in atteodance wbile health permitted, even during advanced age, was a striking oontrast to the conduct of many younger people; tis step was brisk and his voice obeery to the last time he was out. By his removal from this earthly sphere, another of our old landmarks will have disappeared. He leaves a widow and a couple of grown-up children to mourn his loss. COUNTY COUNCIL ELECTIONS.—The conteots in the various districts have been ca-ried on with great vigour and enthusiasm by both sides. The memories ot the elections of byegone days fly vividly back to mind, when beer and spirits occupied prominent positions, and were, indeed, we are sorry to say, the most potent factors in some places. It was given away profusely and as readily accepttd. I excuse neither party, but would unhesitatingly say that until canvassing is made an offence and polling-booths (especially in coun y districts) removed from the vicinity of public-houses, long will corrupt practices exist, and the voioe of the people be practically unheard. This is a matter yet that demands the serious attention d the Government, irrespective of pltrty politics. Mr Fisher, of Dennant, has been returned for Steynton. MEETING OF THE MILFORD DOCKS COMPANY. —The ba!f-yeirly meeting of tbb Milford Docks Company, was held in London, Mr T Wood piesiding. The report of the half-jear ending December 31st, 1894. s'a ed that the matked inprovtmeot in the company's local trade, wbich was seen in the early part of the past half-year, wae interrupted by the continuance of storms of unnsaal severity throughout the latter portion of that period, and resulted in a corresponding diminution of receipts from the fishing traffic. No further progress had been made with regard to the Cantidian mail service, and the question uf the acquisi- tion of the railway and pier remained in abeyance. The directors bad been advised that these liabilities most be satisfied before the profits became divisible.— The General Manager reported that the tonnage of vessels entering the docks during the half-year was 138,902, as against 157,680 in the corresponding period of 1893.-The Chairman, in moving the adoption of the report, said during the first three monthr of the past half-year, the trade of the compaoy yielded a profit of aboot .£500, bat in the succeeding months much of this was swept away by the causes referred to in the report. L- LLANDOVERY. IjLWYNTBRilN HUNT STEEPLECHASES. — At a well attended meeting of the committee of these races at Llandovery, on Wednesday, 6th inst. (Mr W P Jeffreys presiding), the accounts were passed, and it was decided that this year's races be held in the latter .• 4 of April, the exact date not being decided on. I L.WOSITy.-M J Wa!ter Jones, county and district councillor, -1-14 Miss Jones, of Tetrad, owing to the present severity the weather, and the great amount of distress prevailing, have sent to the Parish Council of Mothvey and Llasdtlt^int, the sum of Lb each, to be distributed amongst the ^or of the above parishes, which has given great satisfm Suoh distribution by the Parish Council is undouu.
