; LAUNCH OF H.M.S. DRAKE AT…
LAUNCH OF H.M.S. DRAKE AT PEMBROKE-DOCK. The largest ship ever built in a government dockyard, and one of three set afloat on Tuesday for his Majesty the King, was successfully launched at Pembroke-Dock, in the presence of an enthusiastic crowd numbering several thousands. H.M.S. Drake, the name of the new vessel, is a first-class armoured cruiser, and the tenth to bear that nomenclature. The last was the Sir Francis Drake, which had her career between 1806-24. The Drake differs from the Powerful and Terrible, which are the same length, breadth, and practically the same displacement, in being fitted with a belt of side armour beginning at the bow and extending over about three-fourths of her length, and in having two protected decks, one at the level of the upper edge of the side armour, and the other immediately beneath it, as against one protected deck of greater thickness, but without side armour, in the other two cruisers. Her principal dimensions are, length, 500ft.; breadth, i 71ft.; displacement, 14,100 tons; weight of hull, 6,500; indicated horse power, 30,000; speed, 23 knots; boiler pressure, 300lbs.; coal carrying capacity, 2,500 tons.' The armoured sides extend from the stem for a distance of 400ft. The two-inch armour is of nickel steel, and extends from the lower deck to the upper deck, affording cover to the men at the 12-pounder guns on the main deck forward. The thicker armour is all of specially hardened steel. There are two armour decks. The coal bunkers are so disposed as to give protection to the machinery. The interior of the ship is divided into compartments by 17 main transverse bulkheads or partitions, many of which compartments are further subdivided. These divisions, like the cells between the bottoms, localise the effects of damage to the external skin of the ship. The boiler rooms, of which there are four, extend across the ship from coal bunker to coal bunker bulkhead. The two engine rooms are situated abaft the aftermost boiler room, and are divided by a middle line bulkhead. The various magazines and shell room occupy the middle part of the ship. Immediately under the lower deck is a long passage shut off from the upper part of the lower bunkers, through which the ammunition is conveyed under protection from the magazine and shell room to the fighting position. It is lifted from the ammunition passage to the guns through armoured trunks, which communicate between the passage and the four case- mates on each side of the ship. These casemates are double-storied. They are formed of 6in. armour on the front or outside, and 2in. steel plates at the sides and rear. They rest on the main and upper decks respectively. In the spaces between the casemates, where not occupied with cabins, the crew will mess and sleep. Her armament will consisfof 29-2 breech loading guns fitted in 6-inch armoured barbettes (one forward and one aft). There are sixteen 6-inch quick-firing guns (four more than in the Powerful), all placed in case- ments of 5-inch armour, the rear walls being two inches thick. Of the smaller quick-firing guns there are twelve 12-pounders distributed over the upper decks; while forward and aft on the main deck, there are two 12-pounder boat or field guns, three 3-pounders, and nine Maxims. There are also two under-water 18-inch torpedo- tubes. At the fore-end of the vessel there is a conning tower of 12-inch armour with armoured communicating tube to protect the gear for controlling operations throughout the ship. The propelling machinery which is being fitted on board by Messrs. Humphreys, Tennant & Co., Dept- ford, is of the most improved type. The ship will be fitted with Belleville water tube boilers with economisers, distributed through four stoke- holds. The ordinary working pressure of steam at the boilers will be 3001bs. to the square inch, which will be reduced to 250lbs. at the engines. At that pressure the engines, working at 120 revolutions, should develop each 15,000 indicated horse-power, or a united total of 30,000, which it is expected will give the ship a speed of 23 knots. At the official trials the engines will be required to maintain that power for eight hours con- tinuously. The ship will have four funnels each 90ft. in height above the fore grates. The frame-work of the boilers in three boiler rooms is already in place. The cost of the ship when complete will, it is understood, exceed one million pounds sterling. The expenditure, on her to March 31st, 1900, from her commencement, amounted to E195,413, and the total estimated outlay to the 31st inst., is £ 537,993. This, however, is expected to prove somewhat less than the actual expenditure. The ship was laid down in No. 1 building slip, on the 24th April, 1899. She has been built by Mr James Owen, 1st class assistant constructor, under the super- vision of Mr H. Cock, M.V.O., chief constructor. The ceremony of launching was fixed for 5.45 p.m., but visitors into the town were arriving during the morning in large numbers, excursions being run from Newport, Swansea, etc. The early part of the day was bitterly cold, and rain and hail fell in very heavy showers. After noon, however, the sky cleared, and the sun came out, but a cold westerly wind continued to blow almost to a gale. This made the period of waiting very trying to those who had not been able to secure sheltered positions. The launching booth was erected across the bows, and here the Hon. Mrs Lort Phillips, wife of Mr F. Lort Phillips, M.F.H., Lawrenny Castle, who was to christen and launch the vessel, was accom- modated together with the principal guests. Those invited, of whom several, including General Laurie, M.P., who is at present indisposed in London, were absent, were:—Capt.-Supt. C. J. Barlow, R.N., D.S.O., Capt. Basil Cochrane, R.N., Mr F. Lort Phillips, Mr H. S. Allen (Cresselly), Mr H. G. Allen (Parkeston), Mr Roch, Lady Lilian Campbell and sister, and Miss Fitzroy, Admiral Evans, Col. Goodeve, Col. and Mrs Mirehouse, Sir Charles and Lady Philipps, Baron de Rutzen, Gen. Laurie, Mr and Mrs Wynford Philipps, Col. Saurin and family, Sir Owen Scourfield, Mr, Mrs, and Miss Matthias, Col. Leach and Miss Leach, Lady Kensington, Mrs Symmons and party, Capt. Henderson, Capt. Maxwell, Col. the Hon. F. Lambton, Lady Victoria Lambton, Sir Thomas and Lady Meyrick, Mr and Mrs Smith Conynghame, Mrs and Miss Cock, Mrs Owen, Mrs Longrigge, Mr and Mrs Brook, Mrs Lloyd Philipps, Lieut. Plumer, the Misses Matthias, Mr and Mrs Stokes, Col. and Mrs Shaw, Col. Curling, Col. Luck, Col. Muirhead, Major and Mrs Wynne, Mr Dudley Williams Drummond, Mr and Mrs Ince Webb- Bowen, Major and Mrs Sackville Owen, Mr J. Evans (high-sheriff) and Mrs Evans, and Mrs Cooke. Two other booths were erected, one on the starboard side and the other on the port side, and lower down on the ground at the side of the ship were some enclosures for ticket-holders, the general public disposing them- selves on the roadways on each side. The starboard booth accommodated a large number of people, including military officers, clergy, and others, amongst whom were The Staff-Captain and relatives, Mr Pellowe, C.E., Mr Hay and sister, N.S.O., Mr Cardwell, Dr Luther and wife, Mr Flynn and daughters, Mr Owens (assistant-constructor), and son and daughter, Dr Jeane, the Mayor of Pembroke and Mrs M'Coll, Mayor of Tenby and wife, Mayor of Haverfordwest and wife, Town Clerk and Miss Hulm, Dr Reynolds and I wife, Dr Williams and wife, Dr Saunders and wife, Dr J. Stamper, Mr D. Hughes Brown, Mr and Mrs Jones Lloyd, Mr and Mrs W. H. O. M. Bryant, Capt. Troughton and wife, Major Percy George and wife, Rev. W. and Mrs Evans, Rev. Silas Phillips, wife, and son, Rev. T. R. Rees, Rev. Jason Thomas, Rev. Mr Piccott, Rev. Father W. J. Kelly, Rev. Mr Branley and family, Rev. and Mrs Hamilton, Rev. and Mrs Jenkins, Rev. and Mrs Orpen, Rev. Mr Lloyd and family, Rev. Mr Massey and family, Rev. and Mrs Puckeridge, Rev. Mr Rummey and family, Rev. W. G. Spurrell and family, Mr J. C. Froyne (late chief- constructor), Rev. Charles Morgan (Rhoscrowther), Rev. Charles Mathias and family, Major and Mrs Cockburn, R.A., Capt. and Mrs Molesworth, Capt. and Mrs Le Breton Simmons, Col. Fitzgerald, Admiral Cochrane, Col. and Mrs Roch, Col. and Mrs Trevor, Capt. and Mrs Young, Major and Mrs Morrison, Capt. and Mrs Adams, Col., Mrs, and Miss Heathcote, Mr and Mrs Benson, Mr and Mrs Carrow, Mr, Mrs, and Miss Eaton Evans, Mr, Mrs, and Miss Fothergill, Mr and Mrs Gilbertson, Mr and Mrs Leach, Mr and Mrs Lascelles, Miss Rankin, Dr, Mrs, and Miss Reid (Tenby), Mr, Mrs, and the Misses Samson, Mr and Mrs Massey, Mr and Mrs Morris Owen, Mr Owen and Lady Maxwell, Mr and Mrs Leeds, Col., Mrs, and Miss Denne, Major Beddoe, Capt. Grier and Mrs Grier, and Mr E. Laws, etc. The Dockyard gates were thrown open at 4.15 p.m., and while the crowd, which soon assembled, were wait- ing, the band of the E Company 1st V.B. Welsh Regiment, under Bandmaster T. James, performed the following programme of music Grand march, "Francesca" (Mario Costa); overture, "Caliph of Bagdad" (Borddieu) valse, "Sobra Las Olas" (Rosas); "Egyptian Patrol Passes" (Vale Lane): overture, Bohemian Girl," (Bafe); piccolo solo, "Silver Birds" (Le Thiere); selection, "Life on the Ocean" ?Binding) national air, "Hen Wlad fy I Nhadau." At a quarter-past five the dockyard chaplain, Rev. J. W. Longrigge, R.N., read the service ordained for the use at the launching of warships, which comprises Psalm cvii., v. 23 to 43, and a prayer, Oh Thou that sittest over the water flood." Mrs Lort Phillips then named the vessel by breaking upon the bow a bottle of wine suspended by strings and decorated with flowers, but owing to the great height of the grand-stand, the ceremony passed almost unnoticed by the crowd who could not see what was going on in that booth. The bow it should be stated projected nearly 200ft. from the shed. Miss Ethel Cock, daughter of the chief constructor, presented Mrs Philipps with a bouquet. She was also the recipient of the mallet and chisel used in cutting the cord, both of which were artistically decorated and enclosed in a polished oak box, with inlaid monogram, and of a large framed picture of the new ship as she will appear when completed, the picture being the work of Mr Joseph Miller, of the dockyard mould loft-staff. All this while the Dockyardmen were busy cutting away the blocks from under the keel near the bow, a proceeding which was watched with much interest. This was still in progress, when about 5. 50. p.m., the chief constructor under whose order the work was being carried out, called to the men to stand clear, and a few minutes later Mrs Lort Phillips cut with the mallet and chisel specially provided for the purpose, the cord by which the heavy weights invariably used on these occasions were suspended over the dog-shores. Im- mediately a heavy thud announced that these weights had fallen, and the result was seen in the striking away of the shores, releasing the ship. There was some suspense when it was found that she did not move, and chiselling operations were again commenced, while the three hydraulics fixed in positions for bringing pressure on the ship and its launching-cradle were set working. For nearly five minutes there was no motion, then when the pressure had reached 600 tons, or 1,000 lbs. to the square inch, a great shout arose, and the massive vessel began to move. Slowly she went at first, then her speed gradually increased, and as she left the slip, and entered the water altogether, the cheers became a perfect uproar, the while hats and handker- chiefs were waved. This was renewed when the men on board hoisted the Union Jack at the bow, the Admiralty flag at the main, the Royal Standard at the aft mast, and the White Ensign right aft. The band struck up "Rule Britannia," and then God save the King intimated that it was all over. The ships depth in the water was about llft.4ins. forward and 16ft.6ins. aft, her red and white hull towering high above. It is expected when fully fitted she will draw about 26ft. of water. The Drake was speedily taken in tow by the steam tugs Alligator, Volcano and Diligent, and moored temporarily off the dockyard. Vessels launched from Pembroke Dockyard ordinarily are taken to Hobbs Point and placed under the sheer legs to receive their machinery, but it will not be possible to bring the Drake there for four or five months, or possibly more, because of the blasting of a submerged rock which is now in progress, and the rock must be removed before she can go there. In the meantime the work of getting the engines and the remaining portions of the boilers on board will be proceeded with by means of a gantry. It is intended that the vacant slip should be im- mediately occupied for the construction of H.M.S. Cornwall, a cruiser of the Essex type. )
HAVERFORDWEST NOTES.I
HAVERFORDWEST NOTES. I The collapse of the charge of perjury against Edwards and Phillips, at the assizes, through a faulty indictment, will probably be enquired into at the next meeting of the Joint Standing Committee. Is it the fault of the police, or the solicitor engaged by them ? The question is asked, Why was a solicitor from Pem- broke engaged when we have plenty here who could have taken up the prosecution ? The Committee should arrange for the solicitors in various divisions to be entrusted with prosecutions when occasion demands it. The Pembrokeshire Farmers' Club deserve the support of every farmer in the neighbourhood. The committee is formed chiefly of gentlemen who belonged to the old club, and a very able secretary has been appointed in the person of Mr Hugh J. Protheroe Thomas, of Victoria Place. Seeing that the new club is really the old club, it would be but honourable of those who form the club to clear off the debts contracted by the former club, and make a good start with a clean sheet. If certain members did not pay their subscriptions, the Committee should have recovered the same through a court, of law. Until these debts are cleared it is probable the Club will not get the support it deserves. By the death of Alderman John James, J.P., of St." Martin's Crescent, Haverfordwest has suffered a great loss. The deceased was held in great respect by every- one. Some few years ago he was elected mayor, and so well did he carry out every detail of the office that he was elected for a second time. He succeeded his father as Clerk to the Board of Guardians, and held the office until his death. It was here, perhaps, Mr James was at his best. He was credited with being one of the best poor law advisers in Wales, and he will be sadly missed at the Board. No member ever challenged the advice given by their clerk. For very many years he was vicar's warden for St. Mary's, and here the loss will be keenly felt. Much sympathy is felt with Mrs James in her somewhat sudden bereavement, and with the whole of the children, of whom there are two sons, Mr R. A. G. James and Rev Cory James, and five daughters. [The above are some of the Notes which should have appeared last week. What follows reached us later. ] Later Notes. I The funeral of the late Alderman John James, J.P., took place on Thursday last, at St. Martin's Cemetery. It was very largely attended, representatives of the many public bodies with which the deceased was connected being present. A service was conducted at the house by the Rev. C. M. Phelps and the Rev. C. F. Harrison prior to the funeral. The Freemasons of the local lodge acted as bearers. The service at the graveside was choral, the choir from St. Mary's Church being present, under the conductorship of Dr. Greenish. The burial service was read very impressively by the Rev. C. F. Harrison (whose warden the deceased had been for the last sixteen years) and the Rev. C. M. Phelps. Votes of condolence with the family have been passed by the Board of Guardians, District Council, Town Council, Conservative Association, Balfour Club, &c. Mr R. A. G. James has been appointed by the Board of Guardians superintendent-registrar of births, deaths, and marriages in succession to his father, the late Mr John James. Mr R. A. G. James will probably be unanimously elected clerk to the Guardians and the District Council. The office was formerly held by his late father and grandfather. The usual monthly meeting of the Town Council was held on Friday evening, having been adjourned from Tuesday in consequence of the death of Alderman John James. Although the meeting was a very important one, only eight members were present. The Mayor pre- sided. A debate ensued over a bill for some extra work ordered by the surveyor to a house owned by the Council. An explanation from this official soon settled the question. Tenders had been received for the erection of a new gas-holder. The Gas Committee did not open the tenders, but referred them to the Council. Mr W. McKenzie suggested the tenders be sent to an expert for consideration, but the majority considered they were experts themselves, and the tenders were, therefore, opened. Out of about eight tenders, six ran very close, about £ 60 being between them. A long argument ensued, and after much talk by practical men—repairing the old gas-holder, using common sense, &c., a vote was taken for the accepting of a certain tender. Four voted for the acceptance, but as the Local Government Board would probably not sanction a loan with four votes out of a possible fifteen, it was decided to adjourn the question until the next meeting. < The Rev. James Phillips and the Rev. O. D. Campbell have been elected chairman and vice-chairman respectively of the School Board. Much dissatisfaction is expressed that Mr H. J. E. Price was not elected vice-chairman. When the Church party were in the majority, a certain member complained of not electing a Nonconformist to the vice-chair. Why not have elected Mr Pi ice now ? There is much speculation as to the composition of the County Council politically. It is feared the Conserva- tives will lose their majority. They quite deserve to, as electors lost confidence in them three years ago after the election of aldermen. Both parties are working very hard, and prospective aldermen are throwing much vigour into the campaign. It is a matter of deep regret that such able men as the Rev. Lewis James and Mr SWt ard j have retired from the Council. Mr Owen Phillips, a brother of the M.P. for the county, has offered himself as a Parliamentary candidate in the Liberal interests for the boroughs. If the Party selects him, he will come into the neighbourhood to live. I
I PEMBROKE NOTES.______
I PEMBROKE NOTES. lhe annual dinner and dance of E Company 1st V.B. Welsh Regiment took place at the Assembly Rooms, Pembroke, on Friday last, St. David's Day. Between 70 and 80 sat down to dinner, Mr Robert George, J.P., of Saundersfoot, being in the chair. After a most sumptuous repast, and the various toasts had been pro- posed and responded to, the party proceeded to the Drill Hall (which was beautifully decorated) for dancing, which commenced about 9.45 p.m., and was kept up till about 4 a.m., the music being admirably rendered by the company band. A good number of ladies were present, and a most enjoyable night was spent. The catering arrangements were carried out by Mr Mark Nicholas, to whom great credit is due, as well as the committee, for the manner in which they decorated the hall. Mr Richard George, shoeing smith, of The Green, Pembroke, another of our oldest inhabitants, has passed away through an accident, the exact nature of which is not quite known. It appears he was riding a colt across the Burrows on Sunday last, when, by some means or other, he was thrown, and it is believed he must have been dragged for some distance, as one stirrup strap was broken. He was found unconscious by a passer-by about 4 p.m., and conveyed to the house of Mrs Thomas, of Newton, where he expired before his relatives or the doctor arrived, never having regained consciousness. He was 61 years of age, and was held in high esteem here. Great sympathy is felt for his sorrowing wife and family.
JUBILEE OF LOYAL WAYNE LODGE,…
JUBILEE OF LOYAL WAYNE LODGE, M.U., 1 CARMARTHEN. This flourishing Lodge of Oddfellows, which was established in September, 1850, celebrated its jubilee by a dinner at the Butchers' Arms Hotel, Carmarthen, on Tuesday evening last, when there was a good attend- ance of members, Host and Hostess Evans catering to the general satisfaction. Prov. C.S. David Williams pesided. After the repast, the loyal toast of Health to King Edward VII., the Queen Consort, and members of the Royal Family," was drunk, the company singing the National Anthem. The Chairman then made a few observations on the occasion of the meeting, expressing his sense of the honour he had in presiding over the gathering, especially as he had been secretary of the Lodge for a quarter of a century-half the time it had been in existence. He was glad to see the Lodge had prospered so much since the time he first became secretary. He had been pleased to receive a letter from Bro. J. H. Harries, of Cardiff, who had been a most useful member during the time he had been in Carmarthen, addressed to "The survivors of the Lodge assembled to celebrate its jubilee." In that letter Bro. Harries said that although he was not able to be with them in the flesh, he felt it incumbent to write a few lines to join with them in thanksgiving to God for the success which had attended the Lodge in being to many a source of help and to others of pleasure. Many of the old workers had passed away, but other workers would live. A few were yet spared, and might Providence still spare their services for a long period. He trusted appreciation of their past good work and faithfulness might in the future lead many young men to join the ranks. If the older ones could live as long as he wished, they would never die. He mentioned the fact that he and Bro. W. R. Thomas, of Cardiff, had been members of the Lodge for 26 years, and had never needed sick pay. The Chair- man, continuing, said it was very gratifying to receive such a letter from a brother, who, although now left Carmarthen, always took a deep interest in the Lodge, and who, while he (the Chairman) acted as secretary, whenever he remitted his money, always said some en- couraging words in his letters. It struck him when he read the address, "To the survivors," that they, as a lodge, were something similar to a ship sailing on the ocean. Their Lodge had had many storms, but had still got safely through. All their difficulties had been overcome, and the Lodge was now in a sound financial position (applause). Subsequently, the toast, Success to the Wayne Lodge," was proposed by the Chairman, who referred to the great benefits derived by joining friendly societies, and especially such an order as the Manchester Unity, which their Lodge belonged to. That Unity, at the present day, was the largest numerically and financially, and always tried to carry out reforms, so that the lodges should be in solvent positions. The Wayne Lodge, during the 25 years he was secretary, had paid in sickness benefits and funeral donations L8,413, and the members admitted during that period had been 420, while the capital was now £ 3,298. He was glad, now that there had been a reduction of benefits-which he hoped and trusted would only be temporary-that the last year, which had been a record one, had been able to show a clear balance to the good of J6145. He wished the Lodge every success, and he hoped, in the future, it would gain more members, and that the finances would still further improve. At present, the Lodge was the largest in the Carmarthen district, and a membership nearly, if not quite, equal to the total connected with the Three Counties' Friendly Society; and he hoped it would maintain that proud position (loud applause). Trustee Bro. Thomas Phillips, P.P.G.M. 's R. 0. Jones and Herbert Davies, P.G.'s John Griffiths, E. J. Davies, and A. J. Jones, N.G. Thomas Evans, the secretary (Bro. W. Davies), and the treasurer (Bro. D. Thomas), briefly responded. Bro. W. Jones, who is now No. 1 on the books, and was initiated when the Lodge was first started at the Black Lion, in Lammas-street, referred to the establish- ment of the Lodge and its early difficulties. He related an amusing incident connected with their removal from the Black Lion, and said they subsequently held their Lodge at the Cooper's Arms, then at the Three Compasses (now a grocer's shop kept by Mrs Evan Jones), and finally at the Butchers' Arms. During the evening an excellent programme was gone through, Mr Bertie Williams presiding at the piano- forte. Songs were given by Bros. John Griffiths, J. Jones, T. Evans, David Evans, Thomas Williams, and T. J. Vaughan, and duetts by Bros. J. Jones and T. Williams, and T. Williams and T. J. Vaughan. Mr. D. Davies also entertained the company by a clever imitation of various instruments on a harmonica. —————— 0 ——————
COUNTY MEETING AT CARMARTHEN.
COUNTY MEETING AT CARMARTHEN. On Wednesday morning last, a meeting of county magistrates and other persons, convened by the Lord-Lieutenant of the County (Sir James Drummond, Bart.), was held in the Shire Hall, Carmarthen, for the purpose of sanctioning an address of condolence with the King on the death of her late Majesty Queen Victoria, and of con- gratulation on his accession. The Lord-Lieutenant j presided, ard was supported by the Lord Bishop of St. David's, the High-Sheriff for the County (Mr Benjamin Evans), the Mayor of Carmarthen (Alderman E. Colby Evans), General Sir James Hills-Johnes, and others, and there was a large attendance of the county magistracy. Letters expressing regret at their inability to attend the meeting, and sympathy with the move- ment were received from Lord Cawdor, Lord Dynevor, Sir Charles Philipps, Bart., Col. Grwynne Hughes, Mr Arthur Lewis (Recorder of Car- marthen), and others. The Chairman expressed his gratification at seeing his invitation to assemble so well responded to. They were met there, he said, to express their sense of the loss the country had sustained through the death of our beloved Queen Victoria, and also to record their continued loyalty and attachment to the Throne. He would now propose that they should carry the following address, which, he felt confident, would meet with their approval: To the King's Most Excellent Majesty. May it please your Majesty, we, your Majesty's most loyal and dutiful subjects, the Lord- Lieutenant, the Deputy-Lieutenants, Justices of the Peace, and other inhabitants of the county of Carmarthen in public meeting assembled, desire to humbly offer to your Majesty, your Royal Consort, and the Royal Family, the expression of our loyal and heartfelt sympathy in the great bereavement which you and the whole nation have sustained in the death of our beloved and revered Queen, whose long and glorious reign has added lustre to the crown to which your Majesty now succeeds. We, in common with your Majeesty's subjects throughout the Empire, deeply mourn the loss of our late beloved sovereign, Queen Victoria, who, by her faithful discharge of constitutional duties, the integrity of her character, and the personal interest she had ever displayed in the joys and sorrows of her people, has enthroned herself in their hearts. We desire to offer our respectful congratu- lations on your Majesty's accession to the Throne, and to express our devotion and attachment to your Majesty's person and family, and our loyalty to the Throne. We feel sure that under your Majesty's gracious rule the blessings so long enjoyed by this county during the reign of our late beloved Sovereign will be continued, and that the bond of union which has so long subsisted between the Throne and the people will be maintained and strengthened. We humbly pray that your Majesty, and your Royal Consort, Queen Alexandra may be long Epared to rule in peace and happiness over this great Empire." —Sir James, after reading the motion, said he supposed that in the whole course of history there had never been anyone so widely and generally mourned than Queen Victoria, not only by those who lived in this land and other lands under her rule, but by many millions who owed her no allegiance. Queen Victoria was not only the best Sovereign, but the best-loved lady in the world. They thanked God that her son and successor was, evidently, intending to follow her example. They knew that his great wish is the good of his people, and that in Queen Alexandra he had an angel by 1_ • Uyv1M L 1 xiis muc icauj lu jueip ujtu in every good and useful work. They prayed that they might be spared to the nation for many years, and that their reign might be long, peaceful, and glorious. Mr Herbert Peel, the senior magistrate present, seconded the resolution, remarking that he thought it was a matter of congratulation that we have a King to follow in Queen Victoria's steps, as he said he would do, in St. James Palace, not long ago. Sir James Hills-Johnes supported the motion, and pointed out, though he felt it scarcely necessary, the great influence her late Majesty had throughout the world. For once in the annals of the world had all nations joined in one feeling of sorrow and regret at the death of a great and good Queen. Sir James referred to the grief shown by the millions of natives of India. At Calcutta, they had, he said, a portrait of her late Majesty near their idols, and all bowed down in grief and sorrow as they passed it. It was quite unknown in the world that a Queen who lived so far away should have such influence over a distant empire. He was sure they could rely on the King following in his motner's footsteps, and he hoped that his Majesty and Queen Alexandra would have a long, happy, and prosperous life. The Bishop of St David's also spoke, observing that the address they were going to send repre- sented the feeling throughout the county, which had been shown by the unprecedented attendances at churches, and other places of worships on the day of the late Queen's funeral. Sir Lewis Morris observed that he at first thought this meeting had been called rather late, but there had been time to reconsider the whole question of the Queen's career. Sometimes in the first flush of grief, there was a tendency to exaggerated expression of eulogy, but of what had been said of the late Queen, nothing could be qualified or retracted. The strain of unity was still as high as six weeks ago. Nothing had been said against the late Queen as a constitutional Monarch, as a good wife, as a good mother, and above all the mother of her people (hear, hear). Through her training he had glowing hopes of King Edward's future. Sir Lewis Morris spoke of the King having come to the Throne in mature years, and thought it would be a good thing if every Prince of Wales could proceed at a mature age, because at an early age the temptations were very great indeed, and he had not that judgment and self-restraint and contempt for empty pleasure. Mr Thomas Jones, the Clerk of the Peace, added a few words, as he believed he was the only person present who heard the proclammation of her late Majesty Queen Victoria. He remembered reading in 1837 a verse In the year 1837, By the grace of God and the will of Heaven, The year shall pass away without any spring, And on England's throne shall not sit a king." He could not say if those words were written before 1837, but he read them then. They were very prophetic, for certainly, whether it was the case or not, he heard it paid that the year did pass away without any spring, and that, in fact, the country bounded from winter into summer at one jump. He remembered perfectly well coming home from school in England, and staying with some relatives at Brecon, and seeing the regiment there quartered marching round the town with drums beating and colours flying; and amid the plaudits of the people and the clang of joy-bells from the steeples of the different churches, the high-sheriff ot the county proclaimed Princess Victoria Queen of. this kingdom. It was a brilliant summer day, and the longest day, 21st June. Might he not say that that brilliant sky was symbolical of the prosperous reign of her who had just ascended also that the longest day of the year was symbolical of the length of her reign. It would be idle for him to add any panygeric to what had been already said, but might it not be said that she did with her people as did David of old in the Psalms: "She fed them with a faithful and true heart, and ruled them prudently with all her power." He could not but believe—in fact, he did most firmly believe-that she had attained to that everlasting joy and felicity which it had been the prayer-in that beautiful liturgy which had been in our church for thousands of years-might be her portion in the life to come. The address was agreed to unanimously, and ordered to be forwarded to the Home Secretary. On the motion of Mr Gwilym Evans, seconded by the High-Sheriff, and supported by Mr Joseph Maybery, a vote of thanks was passed to the Chair- man for convening the meeting.
IUNITED COUNTIES' AGRICULTURAL…
I UNITED COUNTIES' AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. j The annual general meeting of this Society was held at the Boar's Head Hotel, Carmarthen, on Wednesday. Col. Lewes, Llysnewydd (chairman), presided, and there were also present: Dr. Bowen-Jones, Carmarthen; Dr. H. Lawrence, Narbeth; Mr J. Scourfield, Blaenwern- ddu; Mr Protheroe-Beynon, Trewern; Mr E. Lewis, Cillefwr; Mr W. F. D. Saunders, Glanrhydw; Mr Vincent H. Thomas, Carmarthen Mr A. C. Davies, Upland; Mr J. W. Owen, Hafod; Mr J. W. Harries, Llandilo-Abercowin; Mr H. Jones-Davies, Glyneiddan; Mr Augustus Brigstocke, Blaenpant; Mr Davies, Broad Oak; Mr Jack Francis, Myrtle Hill; Rev. R. G. Lawrence, Middleton Hall Mr David Evans, Llan- gennech; Mr Footman, Hafodwen; Sir Lewis Morris, Penbryn; Mr E. Francis, and several others, besides the secretary, Mr D. H. Thomas. ^Letters were read from Mr Morgan Richardson, Mr C. W. Rees Stokes, and Mr J. C. Yorke, each of whom pointed out that the day was a most unfortunate one, clashing as it did with the Pembrokeshire County Council election, Bingley Hall Show, &c.-The Chair- man said it was unfortunate, no doubt, but it was one of the rules of the Society that it should be held on the first Wednesday in the month, and could not be altered without giving notice.—Mr Footman thereupon gave notice to move, at the next meeting in April, that the day be altered. The Secretary read the accounts of the Society, which showed a balance in hands of treasurer X229 19s. 3d., and there was £ 34 arrears to collect.—The Chairman considered the statement most satisfactory. Sir Marteine Lloyd wrote accepting the invitation to become president of the Society, and offered to give two silver cups, one for horses and one for cattle, in the ensuing year.—Mr J. W. Harries, as the only tenant of Sir Marteine's present, moved his appointment as presi- dent, and this was unanimously agreed to. Colonel Richardson, Glanbrydan, and Mr A. Brigstocke were added to the list of vice-presidents. The retiring members of the Council were re-elected, Mr James, Pantsaison, re-placing Mr T. E. Thomas, Ffynongron. On the motion of Mr W. F. D. Saunders, the Secretary was re-appointed unanimously, and the Chairman said he had been such an excellent worker for the Society that they owed him a spuolal vote of thanks (hear, hear). The Society, from the commencement, had begun, and, so far, ended well, and he felt sure, so long as Mr D. H. Thomas was secretary, it would go on, and continue prosperously. The Secretary said he was very much obliged, and could only assure them he should try to do as well in the future as he had been able t6 do in the past. He liked the work very much, and it gave him a good deal of pleasure, when the show was doing as well as it was at present. The auditor, Mr Daniel, was also re-appointed. It was decided that the prizes in Class 45 be altered from zClO and £ 3 to X,5, X2, and £ 1, and that in Class 46 they be altered from £ 5 and 11 to £ 4, zC2, and 11. A letter was received from Mr Stokes stating that Mr Clement Williams thought, as he was giving his prizes again for tenant farmers, the money should be materially increased by the Society so as to induce more tenant farmers to compete.—The Chairman said this placed them in a fix, as they would have to go through the prize-list again. If Mr Stokes were there he would be able to explain what particular classes he wished to be increased. If those present undertook to do it every body would wish his own particular class to be increased (laughter).—It was ultimately decided to discuss the matter at the April meeting. The date of the show was fixed for August 29th.— Dr. Bowen-Jones reported on the inspection of the Recreation Ground as a site for the show. He said the committee came to the conclusion that it would be possible to hold the show there, although there were certain disadvantages; but these could easily be got over. The terms required were the same as at Ystrad, £ 12.—After some discussion, it was decided that the Secretary should enquire on what terms the tenant of Ystrad would let his field for the show. Mr H. Davies, Danygraig, who had received a prize for a heifer which had been slaughtered, contrary to rule 32, under which the prize was taken, wrote to say that at the time of the show he thought the heifer was in calf. Afterwards she did not seem to prove in calf, and rather than run the risk of keeping her' on, she was sold and slaughtered.—The Secretary said he found out that the heifer had been to the bull. The prize-money (£5) had in this case been paid over, though, as a rule, he kept it back for a time.—Mr J. W. Harries proposed that the matter be allowed to drop this time, and that Rule 32 should be altered, and Mr E. Lewis seconded.— Dr. Lawrence moved, and Mr Jones Davies seconded, an amendment that the price be not awarded.—Dr. Bowen-Jones contended that they should stick to the rules, or they would find themselves in a mess.—On a vote, there were sixteen for the amendment and three for the motion, and the Secretary was instructed to write Mr Davies accordingly. It was decided that in future, when meetings of the Society fell on a County Council day, they should be held on the following Wednesday. On the motion of Mr J. Scourfield, seconded by Dr. Jones, it was resolved That minute No. 4 at the meet- ing of the Council, held on Dec. 5th last, be rescinded, I and that Mr Clement J. Williams' prize in Class 32 be awarded to Messrs J. and W. Owen. ) I Dr. Lawrence proposed, in the absence of Mr Rees Stokes, who had given notice of motion, "That the committee reserve to themselves the right of accepting or rejecting any entry, and to cancel any class, and return entries and fees three days before the show.—This was carried unanimously. The meeting considered the advisability of accepting the offers of the Sulphate Ammonia Committee and the Phoenix Oil Mills Co. of prizes for the best root crops.— The Secretary explained that the latter offered one, possibly two silver cups, and the former X10 for best crops grown with kainit.—It was suggested that there would be considerable expense in sending judges to the different fields to view the crops, and eventually the offers were accepted conditionally upon the Society being put to no expense in connection with the prizes. Rule 22 was altered to read: "Any member of the Council being absent from all their meetings during the twelve months following their election be struck off the list." Rule 32 was altered: No cow or heifer exceeding two years old shall be eligible for a prize unless certified to be in calf, or to have produced a live calf within six months of the day of exhibition." Mr Wathen Thomas proposed that a bonus of X 1 o, similar to that of last year, be again given to the I Secretary.—Mr Saunders seconded, observing that the Secretary was not nearly paid enough. He managed j the show admirably, and it was through him they had got a balance.—Dr. Bowen-J ones said the question was I whether they should not give a bigger bonus, but it was not the amount of the bonus, so much as their appreciation of his work, that would please Mr Thomas. —The Rev. R. G. Lawrence supported the motion, as also did Mr David Evans, to whom it was explained the bonus was in addition to 120 salary.—The motion was carried unanimously, and Mr D. H. Thomas, in thanking the members, said he was perfectly satisfied to do the work for them for anything they liked to give him. He left it entirely in their hands, and should never ask for more. The meeting concluded with a vote of thanks to the Chairman.
STEPASIDE NOTELETS. I
STEPASIDE NOTELETS. I For the purpose of raising funds for the purchase of an organ for the Sardis Church, a highly successful "social" and evening entertainment took place at Elim Chapel on Saturday, the 2nd inst. The costs of the tea and other provisions will be defrayed by the young ladies of the church, and the proceeds devoted to the Organ Fund. So successful was it that the young men have promised to try the same thing at the Sardis Chapel a month hence. Throughout the district this seems the most popular way of raising money for church purposes-far in ad- vance of entertainments and concerts. Tea is provided at a nominal figure within the reach of all, and the multitude attends, which, as has been proved, is a better method than putting it at a figure only reached by the few. We wish the local church every success in this matter. # Before these notes appear the issue of the contest be- tween Mr S. H. Owen, St Mary's Hill, Tenby, and Mr D. T. Lewis, Blaencilgoed, for the Amroth division of the County Council, will be known to all. Both parties have been working very hard for weeks past, and we never remember to have seen such a thorough canvass by the supporters and candidates themselves as in this case. Both parties are confident of success, which, of course, cannot be; but the disinterested spectator thinks it a neck-to-neck race with a doubtful issue. Success to the winner. The St Issell's division returns Mr C. H. R. Vickerman without a contest. There were rumours of a local minister's intention to oppose him, but it appears he himself never thought of such a thing, as he has sufficient work already-a very wise decision, as we re- member other ministers who did themselves and their churches no good by attempting the same thing not so long ago. # Apart from political sentiment, to which some people object, there is no one more worthy of the honour of representing the parish on the County Council than Mr Vickerman. He is a landed proprietor and large em- ployer of labour, and-what is more than all-the only one hereabouts. Like his respected father before him, he is not afraid to speculate, though the returns are not what might be expected. In this respect much has been spent during the past twelve months without any return whatever, nor is there any prospect of any in the immediate future. < Parish meetings are on the boards just now. One will be held at Amroth during the week, to elect eleven good men and true to look after the interests of the parish. The St Issell's parish meeting was held on the evening of the 2nd inst., and we hear a poll has been demanded. Stepaside enjoys an unique position in these matters, owing to the line dividing both parishes running through the centre of the village, so that the village really is interested in the affairs of both.

SAUNDERSFOOT NOTES.
SAUNDERSFOOT NOTES. The parish meeting, convened for the purpose of forming a new Council, was held on the 2nd inst., with Mr James Vaughan in the chair. Out of a possible 400 ratepayers, only some 70 or 80 were sufficiently interested to put in an appearance. Nomination papers for 28 candidates were handed in to fill 15 seats. After these had been arranged in alphabetical order, they were put to the meeting, those present being expected to decide the matter by show of hands but in consequence of the behaviour of many of the voters being so grossly irregular-many voting for the whole of the 28-it was deemed absolutely necessary to demand a poll, which will take place on the 26th inst., unless 13 withdraw. In the show of hands—which, to make the best of it, is but a farce in matters of this kind-we noticed that several old progressive members got kicked out, notably among them being Mr David, the Foundry, who was chairman the first four years, during which time he rendered conspicuous service in the initiatory work of the Council, as well as taking a leading and active part in the carrying out of the Sardis and Ridgeway-road schemes, and other local improvements in water supply, &c. More recently he actively represented the St Issell's Council on the Longstone Improvement Committee, acting as secretary to the undertaking, and was most successful in raising funds for the work; yet it was through the action of voters from this part that Mr David lost his seat, by show of hands. Let us hope that people will recognise their friends better at the forthcoming poll. f It is very strange that men will give their time to public work after being thus treated with ingratitude, but such is the case. Mr David is only an instance.

Mr William Williams, hired shipwright at Pem- broke Yard, was admitted to hospital on Tuesday, having cut one of his legs severely with an adze. At a special meeting of Lampeter School Board on Thursday, 28th ult., the terms of Mr D. Lloyd at R204 13s. 6d. for the site of the new boys' school buildings on the Bryn-road were accepted. Mr L. Bankes Price was appointed architect. The fishing smack Nellie, of Lowestoft, which arrived at Milford Haven on Sunday, reported that during the gale on Saturday two of her crew, Robert Wigg and William Garrett, were washed overboard and drowned. Both men were single. Amongst the local Bills reported for second reading in the House of Lords on Friday, were the Llanelly and Mynydd Mawr Railway and the Weston-super-Mare Gas Bills. The Llanelly Harbour Bill; and the Prestatyn Water Bill were read a second time. Mr G. W. Brockway,-hired writer from Ports- mouth, has been appointed first-class writer in the chief-constructor's department ae Pembroke-Dock, and Mr Frank Gwyther, hired writer, in the expense accounts department, first-class writer in that department at Pembroke. An inquest was held at Waterford on Saturday afternoon on the body of Mr Thomas J. Williams, a solicitor, of Llanelly, who was found dead in bed at the Bridge Hotel on Friday. The evidence showed that the deceased was in the habit of taking laudanum for insomnia. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental poisoning." Mr William Morris, established shipwright, who has retired from Pembroke Yard on a pension of R51 3s. per year, was, before leaving, presented with a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles enclosed in a leather case, suitably inscribed. Mr W. C. Ivemy, chargeman of shipwrights, made the presentation, and Mr Morris, in responding wished all hands long life and prosperity. On Tuesday evening, last week, the members of the Laugharne United Choir presented a purse of gold to their conductor and accompanist, the Rev. J. H. and Mrs Beynon, in appreciation of their past services, which Mr Beynon again placed at the disposal of the choir. The Laugharne Eisteddfod Committee also presented a watch to Miss Kitty Richards for her services in connection with the Eisteddfod.
