AT THE ANNEXE. I Hospital Concert for Dis- I c'harged Soldiers. A concert was held at the Swansea Hospital Annexe for discharged soldiers on Wednesday evening, arranged by Mr. W. Lawson Evans, whose programme the Tommies always look forward to. Mr. I W. F. Francis, the secretary of the N.F.D. and D.S. and S., presided. The programme included many talented artistes. The following took part: — Miss Lillian Taylor (child soloist), Mr. Laurie Tucker (baritone), Miss May Jackson (comedienne and dancer), Miss Morfydd Clement, "iston (soprano), Herbert G. Hemington (light comedian), Miss Doris Francis (child dancing violinist), Miss Olwen Davies (soprano), Harry Florence (singing collier), Miss Mary Lewis (contralto), Jolly Solly Solomon (Hebrew comedian), Miss Brenda Williams (male impersonator), Mr. Bryn Francis (baritone), Martin Harvey (the young Morny Cash), Miss Gwen-da Walters (elocutIOnist), and Miss Ivy Francis (mezzo-soprano). The accompanist was Mr. Dick Williams. Mr. W. F. Francis proposed a vote of thanks to the artistes, and said it was I the intention of the League to try and run a concert every week. Mr. Williams, .of Killay, responded, and congratulated Mr. Lawson Evans for the array of talent he had succeeded in getting together.

— — —^ THE GROCERS. I National Organiser Addresses I Swansea Meeting. The Swansea and District Growers' Association received a visit from a well- known member of the Grocers' Federa- tion on Wednesday afternoon, when Mr. Haslam, of Bolton, the chairman of the organising committee of the national body addressed a meeting. Mr. W. G. Gravelle presided. Mr. Ilaslam, referring to the bacon scandal, derided the fallacy of grading, and averred that the sale of the com- modity was an absolutely dead loss, and had been for the past two years. He re- ferred to the unfairness of the rule tha-t allowed the consumer to re-register, and prevented the retailer. Sir Auckland 'Jtddes' statement about the small trades- men being the real profiteer was scorn- fully denied, and he went on to criticise the manufacturers causing unnecessary trouble and unrest by the exhibit o. prices on proprietary articles, when no manufacture would guarantee prices above a few days. A voie of thanks to the speaker was proposed by Jr. Webber, chairman of the South Wales Council, and seconded by Mr. W. Lewis, J.P., Morriston. Messrs. Griffiths (Llaueily) and Evans (Neath) supported, and the resolution was carried with acclamation.

WAR HOSPITAL. I Neath Guardians Consider I Conversion. Neath Board of Guardians on Wednes- day supported a circular resolution ask- ing that the legislation of the Old Age Pensions Act be transferred to Boards of Guardians for administration. Neath Board of Guardians on Wednes- day were notified by the Military au- thorities that the war hospital was no ionger required, and would be closed on September 30. Orders had been given for the transfer of the patients to Car- diff. The Clerk (Mr. E: Poweli) an- nounced that lie had replied to the letter calling attention to the terms of the con- tract, and the Board ratified the Clerk's action. Mr J. Davies (Cimla) asked whether the Board would be prepared to let half the building for a general hospital to meet the needs of the district. The Clerk: That is a matter which must have the sanction of the Ministry of Health. Mr. Levi James suggested that it should be further considered when they as guardians were in possession of the building. This was agreed to. DRYMMA FI RE. 1 At a meeting of the Neath Board of Guardians, Major W. B. Trick, in ac- cordance with notice of motion, moved that the Board apply for borrowing powers for the sum of S:1,697 3s. fid., re- payable in 30 years, which represented eath s quota towards the re-building of the Drymma Institution, destroyed by lire. This was agreed to. Mr. Howell Peas, Resolven, was at Wednesday's meeting of the Neath Board of Guardians, appointed collector of the poor rates for the parish of Resol- ven. Mr. E. J. Jones, in nominating Mr Fees, said he was at present acting as collector, and the retention of hie ser- vices would be at the game remunera- tion.

LLANELLY TRADE.  J Figures for th? Port. The official statistics relating to the revival of trade at the port of Llanelly during the month of July, which have just been issued, are of interest.

COUNCIL SCENE. Lively Fishguard Debate Over Tribunal. The Fishguard Urban Council deferred the question of forming the Council into a Profiteering Tribunal, Mr. D. O. Jones declaring it unnecessary and bad economy. Messrs. W. Redmond and J. Phillips described the Council as composed mostly of tradespeople, who took care of their own interests. The Chairman (Mr. D. Rees, a baker) objected to such remarks, and said that if they were persisted in he would leave tho chair. They were not in Ireland, and were not Sinn Feiners," even if Mr. Red- mond was. Mr. Redmond hotly retorted that he would voice that which they knew was the truth.

THE BRECON ARTIST. I Exhibition of Paintings at I Swansea. Mr. Sam Garratt, a Brecon artist of considerable repute, is brightening the gallery of the Royal Institution at Swan. sea with an exhibition of his' paintings, which will remain open until the 27th. The exhibition opened on Thursday afternoon, and we hopo that during the remaining days Swansea will not be slow in showing its appreciation of tho artist and his work. inere are some very beautiful exhibits. The centre piece is Mr Garratl's Academy picture for 1917, and there are others, less ambitious in design, that will equally captivate the eye of the artistic visitor Mr. Garratt evidently loves the moor- lands of the Brecon lieacons, and parti- eularly amongst his water colours there are glimpses of this wonderful country that show how susceptible the artist is to tho moods of nature. One, would have imagined that working in this district, Mr. Garratt might have found a chance for the Carmarthenshire Van, but as far as one can see, he has specialised among the Beacons. His pictures include quite a number of local scenes, particularly of Swansea Bay and the Gower inlets.

A.C.U. TRIALS. More Retirements at Llan. cErindoeS Wells. Returns made up on Wednesday showed that the total distance covered up to the previous evening was 2581 miles. Seven- teen competitors lost marks on Tuesday, including seven fresh ones, whilst 10 oompetitors lost additional marks. The worst losses were James Edwards, riding a Sf h.p. Humber 29 marks lost; C. Cather Cook, 4 h.p. Triumph, 26 lost; Howard Lane, 41 h.p. B S.A., 22 lost; J. L, Stocks, 6 h.p. Ariel, 31 lost; J. G. Lowles, 8 h.p. Sunbeam, 58 lost. RETIRED. t Tile tollowmg have retired: J. xv. i.ane on a Douglas; Charles Ifartlwright, New Imperial; Lt. Lauro de Aranjo. Hanley- Davidson; H. A. Leak, Hanley-Davidson; A. V. Somner, Zenith; R. H. Baxter, Redco; Reg. Brown, Sunbeam; S. S. Deb- enham ,Campion; N. Svanso, Morgan; J. Drew, New Imperial; J. G. Lowles, Sun- beam; W. J. Barker, Henderson; W. Douglas Hewkes, Morgan; Jas. Edwards, Humber; W. Edwards ,B.S.A.; J. L. Stocks, Ariel. Consideration was given to-day to the fact that several competitors missed Van Hill, Llanwrda, in Tuesday's run owing to the direction arrow having been re- moved. Under tho circumstances it was decided not to make any deduction, of marks. I TEAM PRIZES. Four teams retain whole marks for team prizes, viz.; Triumph, Scott, A.J.S., and B.S.A. Four others have only tost four marks each, viz.. Douglas, Rover, Sunbeam, and Blackburne. A noticeable feature in climbing Bwlchygroes was that lighter and medium powered combinations beat heavier- powered machines. Star performances in this climb were G. Shermans on a 4 h.p. Triumph side- car, and' P. W. Moffatts on a 31 h.p. Douglas solo. Thomas J. Stardy, riding a 2:1 A.J.S., skidded at Llanbadarnfawr Bridge, 2i miles from home on the return journey, and his machine had to be towed home. I DEVIL'S BRIDGE RUN. lilandrindod Wells, Thursday. Ninety-three started for Devil's' Bridge this morning. Seventeen have now retired. S. T. Ashley, riding a 2! h.p. Connaught, re- tired to-day. A.J.S. team is out of competition for team prize. The rough nature of the land appears to have had a bad effect on the construc- tional part of the machines ,thus neces- sitfiting a good many retirements.

I VILLAGERS' ULTIMATUM. At Llanwnda (Pertbrokeshire) Council Mr. James Evans, the rate collector, re- ported that, adhering to the recent re- solution to with ho'd th° rates until the Harbour Village road was put into a passable state of repair, the inhabitants of the village all declined with one ex- ception) to pay the rates. The Council resolved to urge upon the Haverfordwest Rural District Council to remedy the condition of affairs at the earliest pos- sible moment s

FINANCIAL NEWS. I I FOEEIGN EXCHANGES. I I FOREIG EXCHA.NGES. The French exchange was steadier, the I rate closing at 371. 50c. buyers, and Belgium moved in Sympathy, closing at 36f. Oc. New York was slightly more favourable at 4.14 dol. German marks improved to 1191 to the pound. Tikcre was a further decline j in the value of the lira and peseta, Italy I  closing at 411r. 40c. and Madrid at SS.p..?. THOMPSON AND SHACICELL, LTD. J The directors of the above company, m I their annual report, state that the net pro- I fits for the year amount to 113,30S 14s. 9d. to which must be added the amount brought forward from last year, £ 5,918 14s. j 1.Cd, (leas dividends declared at the last an- i nnal meeting, £Z,J7D 5s.), making a total of S16.853 4s. 7d. From this sum the following j p,ymente have been made during the year: j JDobenture interest, £ 425; interim dividends i 6 per cent. per annum on Preference I nhares, £ 300; 10 per cent, pe-rannum on Or- dinary shares, £ 2,070 5s.— £ 2,795 5s., leaving I a total of £ 14,056 19s. 7d The directors have aflded to reser. e L5,000, leaving the avail- able balance oi £ 9,056 19s. 7d. From this "balance the directors recommend the pay- ment of divideriB at the rate q £ 6 per cent. per annum on the Preference shares, and 111 per cant, per annum on the Ordinary shares for the half year to 30th June, 1919, absorb- ing £ 2,370 5s., and, in order to provide for income tax and excess profits duty, to carry forward £ 6,636 14s. 7d, to the next account. The directors further recommend the ieaue I of Bonus shares to the Orindary ehas-v- holdere out of the reserve fund in the pro- portion of 10 per cent. of their respective holdings, for which purpose a, resolution will be submitted at the annual meeting; also a special resolution will be submitted to convert the present Preference shares into Brference shares with cumulative rights as to dividend and priority as to capital. The First Mortgage Debentures for £10,000 fell due for payment on 15th January, 1919, and powers were taken for their renewal, but the directors decided to issue only £ 7,000 fo? the time being. It is with much regret that the directors an- nounoe the retirement of the managing di- rector, Mr. E. W. Shackell, in consequence of a serious operation, and they desire to take this opportunity of recording their high appreciation of the services which he has rendered the company for so many years. They a.re pleased to add that Mr. Shackell has accepted the position of con- sulting director. Mr. Alfred Akenhead and Mr. E. W. Shackell, junior, have been ap- pointed joint general managers with a view to their being managing directors of the company, and a special resolution will be submitted at the meeting of the share. holdera to alter the articles of association to allow the appointment of more than one managing director.
