The annual steeplechases and hurdle races of the Tenby Hunt took place on the Knigbtson Course on Thursday and Friday in last week. The weather of the preceding few days had not been conducive to a good state of the ground, and when the first day of the races opened with a very heavy downpour of rain, the pros- pects of sport were gloomy in the extreme. Fortunately, the rain cleared cff by noon, but the high south- westerly wind bv which it waa accompanied developed into a gale of intense fiercenesss. So bad, indeed, was the weather that a regular attendant at the races for thirty-eight or forty years assured us that he could not remember ever experiencing anything like it. The ground was soddened into a bog, and pedestrians entering the course had the doubtful pleasure of wading through a sticky mire ankle-deep. Arrived at the Grand Stand, we found the wind playing hey-dav with the "bookies'" easels, and causing a little flutter of anxiety amongst the few ladies present in the stand, who apparently feared the blowing in of the sides or the lif-ing cff of the roof. Below, one had only to pass the door of the refreshment-room while someone else was going in or out to be literally blown on to the counter, where perforce ono had to make apologies in the shape of an order for liquid to the smi,irg Hebe behind the bar. The two fights of wooden steps leading to the stand were the only point of vantage from which one could view the racing from start to finish, and from one of these the timorous were excluded bv the solemn declaration of a well-known sportinsr doctor that he heard it crpl\k at the top. Thereafter, there was a struggle of the light-weights, who bad no fear, to get psst the heavies who persisted in congregating at the bottom. Just beyond the enclosure was a youngster, apparently not mor; than sixteen, who, mounted on a stool, and with money-bag slung round his neck, was shouting the odds with all the effrontery of an old staler. He was there to the finish, so we may assume he was able to mett bi3 liabilities. Opposite the Grand Stand was a string of closed carriages, the occuoants of which did well to be content with seeing the borees as they galloped pist the winning-post, and to catch a glimpse of the jockeys' colours as they flashed down by the bottom of the course. Between these conveyances and the enclosure was a sea of mud, through which the horses had to career, sometimes over hurdles, two or three times in the course of a race. Among the com- pany in the enclosure was a Carmarthen town councillor, who, possessed of more diffidence than we ever gave him credit for, senmed loth to make the acquaintance of the "bookies." and entrusted bis money to a friend-the wearer of a beautifully-trimmed moustache—to back boreep, whi,h-luclry man !-on two or three occasions came off." The first race was the Penally Steeplechase, for which Little Norah was in great demand, though before the start she had to share favouritism with Alnwick. In the race she led for two miles, and then made a fault, and could never overtake Alnwick, who secured first place, and retained it. The Visitors' Hurdle Race led to an alleged piece of manoeuvring, as a result of whirh Mr J Widfjer has to make the acquaintance of the National Hunt Committee. There were two horses in I the race entered in the name of Widger, though the initials of the owners were different. One was the horse Rupee, well known in this neighbourhood, and the other Salius, a fine animal, which, it was Raid had been brought over from Ireland to beat Riekardstown if Rupee could not. Rupee was made favourite, whether with the owner's money on or not cannot be stated here, and Rupee won, with Salius aecond, beating Riekards- town at the distance. The stewards, however, noticed something suspicious about the running of Saliu-, and promptly called Mr J Widger and his jockey, T Hair, to account. Their explanations were not considered satisfactory, and it was decided to refer the matter to the National Hunt Committee. We were rather pleased to hl-ar this because, contrary to the dictates of Pruder;ce, we had planked down with a bang a good half-crown, which we could ill afford to lose, on Salius, and naturally considered we had been done out of our honest (?) earnings. We have met losers in this frame of mind before, and met some again that after- neon, hailing from Carmarthen, who were prepared to swear Salius was the better horse. As no one of them probably knows anything of the difference between a horse and a don Key. except in size, their opinion will, doubtless, be put down, like surs. as a biassed one. The Licensed Victuallers' Selling Hurdle Race, for which there were six runners. was won by Mr J Widger's Keymrr, which started a hot favourite, and was, subse- quently, sold to Mr Craven for 10.5 guineas. Up to this point the meeting bad been free from any serions accident, though there had been several falls, but the two concluding items were each responsible for the death of a horse. In the Cresselly Steeplechase four horses started, but Connauaht Ranger II which was favourite. was at once pulled up. the saddle having slipped. as did a considerable quantity of backers' money. By the time the first round had been oompleted. St Teilo was missing, and it was ascertained that this animal had fallen fonl at a bank, and broken its hind leg near the stifle. Consequently, it had to be destroyed. Mary Stuart then went on in front of Electric, and the race was as good a'l over when she fell, to the consternation of backers. Mr Sheehan, however, quickly remounted her, and. riding a good race, won by several lengths. The concluding item was the Town Steeplechase, for which four horses turned out, but only Terpsichore finished. Zodiac was the first to fall, then Jacobus II. fell at the water jump, and broke his back, having to be shot, and in the last round Dean Swift fell, and took no further part. in the race. This brought the first day's proceedings to a conclusion. and there was general agreement that the state of the ground would lead to very small fields on the second day, as was indeed the fact. On Friday an improvement in the weather took place, but the wind still blew strongly. There was a fair attendance of the general public, and the different events were got off with such punctuality as reflected the greatest credit on the part of the stewards and other officials. The races were graced by the presence of a few sports from Carmarthen, notwithstanding the torrents r-f rain fall'n<r while they were in the station. The majority were fairly well provided against the weather, one brawny well-built individual, whose identity we won't indicate further than by saying he also is a town councillor, being got up regardless" in new brown 1' ggiegs and the latest style in mickint. shes. Whether it was his get up, or the benign smile which invariably spreads itself over the vast expense of his visage, that was the attraction we know not, but at Whitland our compartment was nyaded by four gentlemen whose studious silence towards each other was discounted by the clear brand of the "card sharp upon each countenance-if one, at least, hai not been well known to the simple Carmarthenites. The weather was a safe topic of conversation, and this led the little man in the corner— who has been known on one occasion to scorn the weather by throwing off his boots to an unfortunate tramp and walking home in his stockings —to express thoughts of stopping in Tenby ani playing a game of billiards. Ah," said one of the strangers, with a Cockney twang, I might as well go back; this weather means a loss of jE50 to me my opponent won't turn up." Do you mean billiards ? said the one who was not such a stranger as he thought he was If you mean billiards, perhaps he'll play you (indicating the little man in the corner, who forgot to blush with pride at being signalled out for such distinction). l; No," said the Cockney, not biliiards its a new game that's baeo introduced from France into America, and was first played at Newmarket, the headquarters of the best racing stables in England." Of course, none of the Carmarthenites had ever heard of Newmarket. but they did not say so, or the strangers would not, perhaps, have given them credit for being such innocents as they undoubtedly looked at this time. 11 Well, I'll just show you," went on the Cockney, "cnlyl may tell you its a game in which I don't allow any nodding, pointing, pinching, winkiog, or blinking and so on, and so on. He was on his own ground now, and could chatter like a parrot. He brought forth a pack of cards, selected a queen and two of the numerals, and went through the usual motions cf the old three-card trick," alluringly turning up the corner of the picture, and trying to induce his audience to take part in the game. Two of the other strangers joined in, winning and losing golden pieces, but playing among themselves soon became insipid, like whiskey drowned in water, and they began to see they had entered a compartment not containing such flat* as they thought they lvoked. Putting the cards up, the CockLey said, Well, there was no harm in trying if you never venture, you never get anything." No," said the little man in the corner, but get it off those who can afford to lose it, not from those who can't." The man who was known better than he thought he was, was then convinced on the point by being told of previous circumstances- it appears he had unwillingly served her Majesty for two years in durance vile-and the sharps" then changed the subject. They also changed their carriage at the next station, notwithstanding pressing invitations to remain. They had their living to earn, and must look elsewhere for duffers. This incident led to a story from the little man in the corner of bow, single-handed, he had, while in a vehicle frum the station to Cardiff races, made a gang of 11 three-card tricksters whom he found swindling some poor country fellows, put up their cards by threatening to give them in charge of the police, ;'ind how the tricksters scattered on seeing a pohoeman, a friend of his, come to speak to him on hii getting down from the conveyance, On the return journey the same contingent got to- gether again with a few others, and the time was whiled away with more or less-generally less- veracious accounts of the day's doings a"d winnings. It was then we learnt how the little man, who, though he has two J's to his name, is, as the above narrative shows, by no means a jay" personally, had at last been had." He and another had been into a restaur- ant, and on the strength of their winnings ordered '« filletted plaice for tea. There was something fishy, in more ways than one, about the stuff brought them, and the little man had his doubts, and said so. No," said the girl who waited upon him, it's not plaice, it s turbot," and with this the querist was content. But it was not turbot, either, as our friend with the new leggings was able to inform them afterwards-it was "cod steak@ "-or should it be "stakes." seeing that this took place at the Races ? Anyhow it was cod, and the little man was "codded" into believing it was turbot. At Whitland Chippy beoame a member of the company, and very chippy he looked. He had been backing losers- he was on Salius, and was certain it could have won. Altogethar he was very pessimistic about Tenby races, but believed he bad something good for the Liverpool. He was cried down as a no- good tipster because he had not found a winner that afternoon. Jinks, who once won a race on a carthorse, and Billy, the ostler, were just now in exuberant spirits, and were blowing large clouds of smoke from newly-bought cigp.rs-thick twist is the usual commodity they indulge in. They had, of course, both been winning largely, so they avowed, and Billy pulled out four sovereigns as evidence, and named a certain horse which he said he had backed. As, however, he had been seen to put only five shillings on that particular horse, he was branded as a—well, untruthful person, and the statement hazarded that the money he held was a commission for someone else. Billy loftily scorned the insinuation. Jinks sat tight, but be gave himself away shortly. The talk was of the next day's ration, and Jinks was certain Pyracantha would be a winner. I'll take 10 to 1 it doesn't," said the one who seldom spoke. I'll have you," atys Jinks, thinking be said he would lay 10 to 1, and be eagerly pulld off his watch and chain, and handed it to the little man, who was again in the corner. Loud laughter greeted this confession of his insolvency, and, explanations having followed, the watch and chain was restored. Then the little man I accomplished a smart bit of business. He offered to ex- change his watch and chain for that of Jinks' and the latter, seeing the watoh offered was of more modern manufacture than his own, accepted, and found himself in posseeeion of one of considerably less value than he had hitherto worn. Poor^Jinks His misfortunes did not end there, for at the Junction he left his stick to go on to Cardiff, though he really would not believe it-he thought he was being once more had." The end of the journey was now arrived at, and the last echo of the day's proceedings was what we heard near the Plough yard in Lammas-street, where Chippy" was trying to persuade some sceptical friends that he had had a good day. I had," said be, three half-sovereigns to one on it, whatever. Chippy did not know he was overheard by the present writer, who laughed, and passed on. Details :— First Day.

I CARMARTHEN GAS COMPANY.
I CARMARTHEN GAS COMPANY. Annual General Meeting. The annual general meeting of the shareholders of the Carmarthen Gas Company was held at the Assembly Rooms, Carmarthen, on Monday last, under the presidency of the Chairman (Mr C W Jones). There were also present: -Mr Johu Lewis (mayor of Car- marthen), Mr J "S Lester, and Mr W I Rickard (directors); Mr B A Lewis (manager and secretary) and Mr Thomas Owen (collector). The annual report of the directors and statement of accounts for the year ended December 31st, 1898, was presented. It waf read as fallowsThe quantity cf gas sold during the year was 17,585,000 cubic feet, against 16,951,000 cubic feet for the year 1897, being an increase of 634,000 cubic feet. The coal carbonised during 1898 was 1.975 tons, against 1,819 tons in 1897. Tho letting of cookiog stoves is still on the increase. The directors are pleased to find the public appreciate the advantages of gas for cooking aad beating. The profit in the working for the past year, as shown in the revenue account, is LI,214 4s lOd. After paying £ 145 on mortgage and stocks, there remains a balance of £ 1,069 4s lOde A dividend of Y,7 10s per cent. per annum on the ordinary shares, and JE7 per cent. per annum on the new ordinary shares of 1875 and 1886, requires £ 978. The directors reoommend that dividends at the above rates be declared for the half-year ended 31st December, an interim dividend at the same rates having been paid for the half-year ended 30th June last. It is proposed to issue dividend warrants to the proprietors on the let day of March next. The retiring directors are Mr John Lees Cocker and Mr C W Jones, both of whom are eligible, and offer themselves for re-election. The retiring auditor is Mr A LI Davies, who, being eligible, offers himself for re- election. The Chairman, in moving the adoption of tho report and statement of accounts, said the report shewed an increase of gas sold owing to the introduction of stoves for cooking and heating purposes. He was glad to be able to 6ay that all who were using the stoves were perfectly satisfied with them, and that the number was being gradually increased. An increase in the number of stoves meant an increase in the consumption of gas. The profits, however, had been less because of the increase of price in coal, consequent upon the strike a short time ago. He had much pleasuse in proposing the adoption of the report. Mr J S Lester seconded, and in the course of a few remarks he referred to the lighting by incandescent lamps. Complaints had been made, but the fault laid with the mantles and not with the gas. S)me mantles were altogether unsuitable for the purpose, while others crumbled away after a certain length of time. The mantles should be attended to. Mr Lester also drew attention to the fact that there was a saving in the amount of gas through the use of incandescent burners. The report was adopted unanimously. On the proposition of Mr J S Lester, seconded by Mr John Lewis (mayor of Carmarthen), it was unanimously resolved that Mr 0 W Jonea and Mr J Lees Cocker be re-elected directors of the company. Mr A LI Davies was also unanimously re-elected auditor. The usual votes of thanks concluded the pro- ceedings.
I.NOTES BY "JOHNNY BACH."
I. NOTES BY "JOHNNY BACH." At last the selection of a Liberal candidate has been made by the Liberal executive. Whether it will meet with the approval of the Association remains to be seen, as there is great dissatisfaction prevailing in certain ciroles over the result of the executive's voting. There are grumblers to be had in every department of life. In fact, the world can hardly go on without some grumbling, for many good results have been the outcome of dissatisfaction. It is not always the esse that the majority must be right. There is often, indeed, more wisdom and justice in the reasonings of the minority. But I do not wish to infer by these remarks that the voting of the Liberal executive is wrong. That most be settled by the Association. I am much afraid that the committee of our forth- coming eisteddfod at Carmarthen has been very foolish ia selecting "The Destruction of Gazi for the male voice competition, as that piece has been composed to suit French tenors, whose register is far different from our tenors. Therefore, it must be unsuitable here. I do not believe that we can find a dozen tenors in Car- marthen able to sing those high notes in tbeir natural voices. When you have to hear so much falsetto going on it is not very pleasing to the singers, and I am aertain it is not pleasing to the audience. ♦ Unless the committee can see their way to change the piece in the male voice competition for something else, I am sure there will be but very little competition in that quarter. It ia not too late to change it, and if they only selected the same piece as is down for Pembroke- Dock Eisteddfod this would bring more competitors. I have heard several male voice cooduotors say, when asked, that the piece is unsuitable, and they could not bring a party down to Carmarthen Eisteddfod. v I believe it it the custom of eisteddfod committees when selecting pieces for competition to corn pare pro. grammes of other eisteddfodau as a guide so as to endeavour to get the same choirs and parties to compete, thereby making the eisteddfod a financial sceoess. Mostly all the eisteddfodau held at Carmarthen have been miserable failures as regards competition and finance. Will this one again follow suit P What if the secretary was to send to all the looal choirs and male voice trainers seeking their support by bringing their shoirs, &c., down. Ty and follow the exuraple of I [Jangendeirne, S Clesrs, and White Mill Eisteridfodnc, which turned out financially so successful, ahboogh ,hey were held in country villages. I TharA is too mach class generally to he found at Ctr- martben Eisteddfodau. They seeao not to tiro øt endeavouring to obtain the er-.)Peration of small loc*,l choirit, &a., as if this was beneath them. Still tbey do not seem to have ary of the bill choirs or parties down I to compete, and the leenlt, is abject failore Therefore, let toc?) mosiciana wak3 up at length for this coming e!a?ed?f)d, and try and m?ke it a grand financial aff4,r, Keep a look-oat for the oboira tbtt compete at Tamble and elsewhere over the same chief choral, and try teget them to compete here also change the male voice com- petition for something elre more soitable for Welsh male voice parties. < A ramour is sfl >at that Mr John Kennt, or one of bis Wycliffe preachers, will thorlypay c. visit to this town to speak on Ritualism in the Chorch." This iiabi-et causes n great stir throughout the country at the present time. 0.18 can never take up a daily pfaper without soto allasion to it, whether it be controversy on the subject or the account of some great meeting bnt respecting this subject I sb.a'l say a word or two next week. ,n

The sindg have been thoroughly cleared of all the refuse, and it is hoped no unsightly heap", &c., will disfigure them during the coming summer. The rubbish tip, being close to the main road and easy of access, should prove a boon to the inhabitants. Reading-Room Entertainment.—A very successful musical entertainment was held at the village Reading- room on Monday, the 6th inst., in aid of the funds of that institution. Among the artistes were the Ferry- side String Band, Miss Brogden, Miss Carver, Miss Nevill, and other influential friends of the place. ST. ISHMAEL'S Horticultural SHow-The com- mittee of this show met together at Croft Cottage on Monday night. They found they had a very respectable balance in band. So encouraging was the Secretary's report that that they have decided to repeat the experiment and hold a similar show, with a few additional exhibits, on the 1st of August next. The committee must work with might and main. High TIDE.-About eight p.m. on Sunday morning, the abnormally "tiigh tide here formed a magnificent spectacle, the huge waves striking the sea wall of the Great Western Railway, from St Ishmael's Church to Ferryside, with enormous force, and throwing up spray forty and fifty feet high. The cottage of Mr John Joneii on the sandf, near the lifeboat house, narrowly escaped destiuction, the sandbanks near being swept away. A portion of the walls of the ancient town of St Ishmael's (Hawton) have been exposed to view, owing to the high sandbanks over it having been washed away. It was feared that tt e railway em- bankment would go, and then there would be a catastrophe.

LLANDILO. I "The MAGISTRATE. By special request this piece was performed again last Tuesday night for the benefit of Evan Davies, a workman in the employ of Mr William Jones, of Canton Stores, Llandilo. Davies, unfortunately, broke his leg whilst working for Mr Jones some four months ago. He has a wife and three children, and the case was undoubtedly a very deserving one, as great sympathy is felt for the man. A com- mittee was formed to push the sale of tickets, which was done from door to door, the result being that the house was over-crowded, and many had to go away owing to the crash. The Hon. Gladys Rice again brought a large party, and Mr and Mrs St Vincent Peel were also present. The acting throughout was still further improved. In the afternoon (for advertis- ing purposes) four of the caste, viz Mr Ernest Lloyd, Mr D J Morris, Mr T W Griffiths, and Mr J T Hopkins, assumed the characters of circus clowns, and were driven through the streets by Mr Llew. Davies, also d la clown, to the huge delight of the townspeople. A piano and crier's bell were the "properties" of this impromptu peregrination.

Pembrokeshire. I CLYNDERWEN. I CLUB AND FARMING SOCIETY. The annual meeting of the Clynderwen Club and Agricultnral Society was held on Monday last, Mr Gibbon, of Cilratb, presiding. The Secretary's long report showed that, financially and otherwise, the Society continues to progress. The balance this year, though not so good as anticipated, still cheers the committee by showing a neat little sum to the good. After full discussion, the report was unanimously passed.. It was heartily agreed that Mr Dames, of Clynderwen House, be invited to become j president of the Society; and Mr James, Ffynonbrodyr Mr Gibbon, Cilrath Mr Thomas, Brynaeron and Mr 1 James, Sodstone, were appointed vice- presidents. The secretary, Mr Henry Morris, was unanimously re- 1 appointed, as was also the active committee, Mr < Thomas, Vaynor, and Mr James, Longfore, being i added to fill vacancies. Then followed the Reading- 1 Room business—the selection and sate of papers, etc. a As to entertainments, diversity of opinions prevailed I respected dancing in the Club-room after concerts. After much lively discussion on moral and immoral c tendencies, the matter was allowed to stand over for i: future consideration. 1

I PRESENTATION TO MR.- J.…
I PRESENTATION TO MR.- J. L. WALTERS, I LLANBOIDY. ) u Grateful Agriculturists. I I U11 Monday afternoon, at the Market Mali, Llanboidy, in the presence of a goodly number of friends, a very interesting ceremony took place, I when Mr. J. L. Walters, chemist, was the recipient | of a gold watch, double guard, and pendant mono- gram seal, together with an illuminated address, I beautifully executed by Mr. J. F. Lloyd, Carmar- then, the whole valued at £ 45. The wording of the address was :— DEAR bir,—We whose names are subscribed hereto, landowners, farmers, and other inhabi ants of the neighbourhood of Llanboidy, beg your acceptance from us, of the accompanying gold watch, as a token of our grateful acknowledgment of your efforts during many years in the promotion of the agricultural interest in our midst, now so happily culminating in the successful establish- ment of the Llanboidy Butter Factory Company. We also hereby desire to put on record our appreciation of the untiring energy displayed by you in your position as lion. sec. of that company, and we hope, in the future of your life, it will ever be to you a source of pleasure and satisfaction to reflect that, by your kindness and interest in our welfare, you secured the lasting gratitude and good-will of your friends and neighbours in this district. 4 Wishing you all prosperity and happiness, We remain. Dear Sir, u u Yours most sincerely." [Mere follows a list of subscribers]. I The Rev. D. S. Davies, as chairman, was very proud to occupy the position on such an occasion. He desired them to recognise the fact that they were met together to reward merit, under such pleasing circumstances as was possible to conceive. They knew Mr. Walters was always ready to help, not only with his advice, but with practical support, any undertaking which would benefit the farmers. And though our honoured friend who has departed from us—the late Mr. Powell. M.P. — did wonders for this neighbourhood, still more remained to be done, and he was proud that Mr. Walters, with the help of'others, had been able to take up his work where he had left it. Mr. J. Phillips, J.P., Caerlleon, was most pleased to be present, and considered that were it not for Mr. Walters' personal energy and power of reason- ing, and convincing the farmers that his ideas were correct, there would be no butter factory at Llanboidy. Mr Levi Davies said I feel exceedingly pleased in being here this evening, on the occasion of present- ing Mr. Walters with this magnificent address and beautiful gold watch, and also to give a practical proof that we appreciate the splendid services lie has rendered us in connection with the butter factory. Very little I thought at first that we should get a factory here; but Mr. Walters had set his heart on getting one, and it is owing to his determination and untiring efforts that it was successfully accomplished. I think very few would have undertaken the task, and fewer still would have been successful. I feel proud that we have amongst us a gentleman of .Mr. Walters' abilities. I believe the greatest reward to him is the con- sciousness that he has been able to do some benefit to the farmers. I believe there is no other factory in Wales established on the same principle as ours, and am glad to know its success has been so great; and I would advise other localities to follow our example. I sincerely hope this testimonial will stimulate Mr. Walters to continue in his good works for our good, and may his life be long and prosperous. The Rev. W. Thomas said he was delighted with what they were doing that day. He felt as proud as if the presents were given to himself. Such was the friendly feeling which bound Mr. Walters and himself together. Great men are understood only by their near friends. Those at a distance may take Mr. Walters to be harsh and indifferent. Some, on account of their melodiously fine voice, are considered very amiable people, when in reality they know nothing about amiability; they seem to be more pious when they curse and swear than others when they pray. All Mr. Vfalters' harshness is on the outside: in his bosom beats a tender, sympathetic heart. The poor have an instinct to find out the generous man, and they run naturally to Mr. Walters in their need. Mrs. Powell said I had great pleasure in accept- ing the invitation of the directors of the butter factory to be present here this afternoon, on the occasion of presenting Mr. Walters with a testi- monial, as I wished personally to express my appreciation of the great service he has rendered the neighbourhood by the assistance he has voluntarily given towards establishing our butter factory. He has given his time, which, to a business man, means money; and we must not forget the worry and anxiety which such work entails. Local industries, as well as other institu- tions carefully fostered by its residents, add prosperity, happiness, and comfort to their lives. Those who contribute to their success are public benefactors. Mr. Walters, the pleasing duty now devolves upon me of presenting you with this watch, chain, and address, which has been subscribed for by your friends and neighbours, far and near, in recognition of the great service you have rendered them in assisting them to place the butter factory on a good working basis. You have acted the part a good citizen should. May you live many years to enjoy the respect you have gained by your disinterested efforts. This gift will, I am sure, be highly valued by you and handed down as an heirloom to future generations, when it will tell its own tale You were useful in your day and generation." Mr. Walters hoped his friends would forgive him if he omitted saying what he ought; that his emotions were such that he could not remember what he should say. Knowing the reason which stimulated him in the endeavour to form the company, he feared he did not quite deserve this honour; but he trusted what he had lacked in the past he might be able to do in the future. With regard to the butter factory, he could assure them Mrs. Powell did all and everything she was asked to do, and that through her influence great support had been obtained from distant land- owners. He hoped Mrs. Powell would be spared to them for very many years, that by her wise councils she may encourage Mr. Roch to emulate his eminent grandfather. He would also suggest to those at Llanboidy that this was the time for work not speeches that success could only be obtained through labour. That for all the interest he had taken in the formation of the butter factory, he took, perhaps, more in the education of his younger friends who were starting life, and he trusted the Aberystwyth College authorities would entertain his suggestions mentioned at the plough- ing match dinner. He felt sure his family and the ? I  .1 1 xiienus or nis youtn wouia rejoice in tne nonour they had conferred on him, and should misfortune overtake him-be it near or far away-so long as he had power to do a hard day's work at manual labour, he would keep and cherish these beautiful tokens of their high esteem. Mr. T. J. Davies, Mr. Osborne Davies. Mr. B. Morris, and Mr. J. Howells spoke in the same spirit as the other friends. Mr. R. Thomas, speaking as one who did not support the factory, said that since it had started he had been able to obtain one penny a pound more for his butter than formerly, by reason that so much butter was now sent out of the district into England. Mr. Willie Owen was sorry he had been unable to attend the meeting earlier, as he had only j-nst arrived from Whitland, where he had been trying to ward off an election of the School Board, and 30 save tne ratepayers a great expense. Anything which tended towards that nowadays was a great Joon to farmers and ratepayers in general. This ivas, he believed, Mr. Walters' desire, and he honoured him for it. The Rev. Lewis Jones, vicar, observed that luring the short period he had been there he had loticed that Mr. Walters was gifted with the very 'are and grand quality of getting others to work vith him, and that from enquiries he had made, ie had gathered that all his works tended towards loing good to his neighbours. He wished Mr. iValters long life and prosperity. Mrs. Powell thanked them for the vote of thanks Lccorded her, and also for the kind wish that she nay live many years. If she were spared another 'ear she would have lived amongst them for fifty tappy years, clouded only by two great sorrows. n which all felt deeply with her. Mr. Walters iad alluded to the new generation about to take ip their residence at Maesgwynne, with a hope I hat the same interest would be taken in the welfare of the neighbourhood as hereto. She was I are both Mr. and Mrs. Roch would do so. At the ime time, they must not expect young people | ould take up life when the old ones left it.

DISTRICT INTELLIGENCE. (Continued from page 7.) I Carmarthenshire. I ABERGWILI. I SAD DEATH OF MR. John Jones —On Monday afternoon Mr Thomas Walters, coroner, held an inquest at Aberbele on the body of John Jones (46), coalman, Abergwili, near Carmarthen, who had been found dtad in a field near Pencader on the previous Saturday.— Mr Evan Harries, farmer, Rbiwlwyd, rlfposed finding the corpse upright against a ditch.—Dr E R Evans. LUcdyssul, deposed that there was a cord round deceased's neck, and embedded in the flesh. The other portion of the cord was attached to twigs in the hedge above. There were no signs of a struggle, and no marks of violence. The eyes were open and dilated. In witness's opinion, Jones died from strangulation brought about by himself. The string was too thin to bear the weight of his body, but he probably pulled at the string after it was round his ileck.-Other evidence showed that deceased was a reserved bachelor.—A verdict according with the medical evidence was returned. The case has excited universal sympathy, for Mr Jones was very much respected by all who had to do with him, either in business or in" his private capacity.
