BRIDGEND NOTES. — —■ SEWERAGE SCHEME. A sub-committee of the County Council of Glamorgan Sanitary Committee, consisting of Messrs. Henry Lewis, David Morgan (Aberdare). and Evan Evans (Porthcawl), met at Bridgend on Friday. Having heard the evidence of several gentlemen, including Messrs. Price Davies, J.P., and S. H. Stockwood, they afterwards walked along the side of the river to Merthyr Mawr, and they are unanimous in recommending the authori- ties to push forward their sewerage scheme. A SINGULAR ACCIDENT. On Thursday evening a blacksmith, named Gethin Hopkin, unknowingly exploded a small dynamite cap, which burst on his eye, with, it is feared, destructive results to the vision. FISH DESTRUCTION. In response to a memorial from the Ogmore Angli-ng Association, Bridgend, on the pollution of the River Ogmore, a committee of County Council members on Friday inspected the stream, and heard farther representation on the matter. LOCAL WEDDING. The marriage of Miss Mary M. Jenkins, eldest daughter of Mr. William Jenkins, of Llanfihangel- place, Cowbridge, and Mr. Henry Oliver Irvine, of Link. Southerndown, agent to Earl Dunraven, took place at Llanfihanrel Parish Church on Wed- nesday. The officiating clergy were the Rev. E. Jenkins, rector of the parish (uncle of the bride), and the Rev. T. Edwards, of Southerndown. The bride was given away by her father. The brides- maids were Miss Margaret Jenkins and Miss Janet Jenkins (sisters of the bride), and Mr. James Bruce (cousin of the bridegroom) acted as best man. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins held a reception, at which the health of Mr. and Irvine was drunk with enthusiasm. Later on the bride and bridegroom left for Clifton and the North of England, where the honeymoon is being spent. The presents were numerous and costly.

A VIOLENT MAN AT COWBRIDGE. At an occasional borough court, held on Wed- nesday—before the borough mayor and ex-mayor —a person of the name of John Smith was charged with being drunk and breaking 11 panes of glass in windows belonging to Mr. John James, and two panes of a window belonging to Miss Mary Jones, Railway Inn. It appears from the evidence that the defendant went to Mr. James's house, and with a stick which he carried deliberately smashed the 11 panes. Going from these, he proceed to Miss Jones's house, and there smashed two panes, but was stopped before he could do further mischief. The police now appeared on the scene, and de- fendant acting very violently, he had to be taken to the police-station in a cart that happened to be passing. The magistrates sentenced him to one month's imprisonment for the glass-breaking, and seven days for being drunk.

INQUEST AT PONTYPRIDD. At the Union Workhouse on Friday, an inquest was held on the body of a man generally known as Ginger," but whose proper name was not forthcoming, and who was knocked down by a trap the previous evening: Deceased was a navvy aged about IS. A verdict of Accidental death was retuaned.

DISTRIBUTION OF AMBULANCE CERTIFICATES AT PONTYPRIDD. On Wednesday at the conclusion of the business at the police-court, Mr. Ignatius Williams, the stipendiary, on behalf of the local committee, presented the certificates of the St. John Ambu- lancc Association to those candidates who had successfully passed the examination of the society in first aid," The successful candidates were Alexander McDonald, P.S,; Charles G. Thomas, A.S.; Benjamin Evans, P.C. John Reeves, P.C. David Perkins, P.C.; George Perkins, P.C.; William Evans, P.C. Alfred Geoman, P.C.; David Davies (311), P.C.; John George, P.C.; Wm. Evans (267), P.C. Rees Davies, P.C.; Henry Evans. P.C. Messrs. William G. Beazer, William Marsh, Josiah Hill, Thomas Maddocks, Robert G. Morgan, Charles Spurway, William Powell, Wm. G. Williams, John Williams, and Tom Beazer. The elass, of which Dr. Alfred Evans, M.A., was instructor, was ex- amined by Dr. Edmund Thomas, of Bridgend.— The Stipendiary, in making the presentation, spoke in high terms of the value of the skill which the candidates had obtained, and as an illustration, referred to the services rendered by Mr. Thomas Maddocks, one of those receiving certificates that day, who, a few days ago, was instrumental in saving the life of a child who had accidentally severed the artery of the arm. He specially congratulated the police-constables, so many of whom had obtained certificates.—Speeches were also delivered by Mr. James Roberts, Mr. David Rowlands, and Councillor H; S. Davies, and a hearty vote of thanks to his worship was unanimously passed.

SANITARY CONDITION OF PONTYPRIDD. ANNUAL REPORT. At the ordinary meeting of the Pontypridd Local Board, held on Friday, and over which Mr. David Leyshon presided, Dr. Howard Davies, the medical officer, submitted his annual report, from which it appeared that during the year the number of births was 859, and the deaths 5.01, giving a birth-rate of 39 per 1,000 and a death-rate of 29'4 per 1,000. During the year the town has been visited by epidemics of scarlatina, erysipelas, puerperal fever, and typhoid fever, the latter of which was still prevalent. Having denounced the manner in which the scavenging had been carried out. and dwelt upon the pollution of the Rivers Taff and Rhondda, Dr. Davies strongly advocated the weiriag of the Taff for boating purposes as soon as the pollution complained of could be done away with. He also urged upon the board the advisability of establishing public lavatories, a public mortuary, and public recreation grounds for the town.

CORRESPONDENCE. I-,t* The Editor does not hold himself responsible for the opinions of his Correspondents.

SOME WORDS OF JOHN BRIGHT ON HOME RULE. TO THE EDITOR. SlE,—May I submit for the consideration of your readers some words of a great English states- man on a question which is occupying our atten- tion now. They are worthy of serious considera- tion. 1. 1; I have never expressed or held the opinion that a Parliament in Ireland would be a benefit to the people of Ireland." 2. "I believe the United Parliament can be and will be more just to all classes in Ireland than any Parliament that can meet in Dublin under the provisions of Mr. Gladstone's Bill." 3. 41 My sympathy with Ireland north and south compels me to condemn the proposed legislation." 4. To have two representative legislative assemblies or parliaments in the United Kingdom would, in my opinion, be an intolerable mischief, and I believe that no sensible man can wish for two within the limits of the present United Kingdom who does not want to see the United Kingdom broken up into two nations, entirely separate from each other." 5. I have no doubt of this, the Welsh Church question may. and probably will, remain unsettled for a time whilst we are fighting over another question—whether one of the three countries is to be handed over to this conspiracy, half Ifish half American, which is now at open war with the government of the Queen." 6. When Mr. Gladstone said, Ireland stops the way," Mr. Bright replied,11 Mr Gladstone stops the way. He insists on an impossible legislature for Ire- land, and insists on it to the exclusion of legisla- tion for the whole Kingdom." These are weighty words. They are the clear utterances of a man who was a good Liberal and a true friend of Ireland. They merit the earnest attention of everyone who is anxious to know the truth and do the right in the important question that is now stopping the way in this country.— I am, Sir, A REASONABLE POLITICIAN. ROYAL CADGING. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,—I was rather surprised to notice in your last issue that the approaching marriage of of H.S.H. Princess Mary of Teck with H.R.H. the Duke; of York affords an opportunity for cadging, which is not intended to pass un- noticed by the officials of Glamorganshire. It may be well for that class of people to sub- scribe liberally towards the presentation account, but how have these officials and the Royalty figured in the subscription lists towards the sup- port of those from who the oread winner has been taken in the late colliery accidents. I should be glad to know what the objects of Mr. F. P. Jones-Lloyd we) e in moving that our Local Board tender their congratulations. Wishing that the Queen would spend more money in England and less abroad.-I am, &c.. J. ROBBINS. Barry Dock, June 19th, 1893. —, A DANGEROUS SPOT ON THE BARRY RAILWAY AT COGAN. TO THE EDITOR. SIR,-I am glad to notice one of your Cardiff contemporaries (the Western Mail) has made, in Day by Day," reference to the dangerous curve which exists in the Barry Company's line of rail- way between the tunnel and Cogan Station. So sharp is this curve that I have actually seen pas- sengers thrown on their sides as the trains rapidly runs into the station. I hope, Sir, therefore, you will take up this matter, and assist in bringing it under the notice of the Barry directors. I travel between Barry and Cardiff almost daily, and I have several times heard strong comments about the awkwardness of the curve in question, and I would suggest that the line be rounded off a little at this spot, and thus make the curve less jerky and dangerous than at present.—Thanking you, Sir, yours truly, SAFETY. —— + TO THE EDITOR. R V SIR,- Will you allow me a small space in your next issue in reply to your correspondent Fair- play." First, he says The Temperance Party are getting up in arms at last on the question of drink and vice for which he is very glad," and then goes on to say that they are all ready with resolutions, suggestions, denunciation, to tell others what to, do, but as for their part it ends there." Mr. Editor, to my mind, these two quotations destroy each other if the first is true then the second is not. We not only resolve but act, we do not try to saddle the police with dirty work. It is the work the police have undertaken to do, and as much their duty to put down shebeening and houses of ill-fame as it is their duty to take the man into custody who abstracts Fairplay's" watch from his pocket, or knocks him down in the street. Then 4 Fairplay" can see the mote in his brother's eye, but cannot see the beam in his own. The remainder of his letter is made up of sugges- tions and denunciations as to what the temper- ance party ought and ought not to do; his sug- gestions. &c., would carry much greater force if he had the courage of his opinions, and came out in his true colours. He says, He would not be ashamed to be seen entering the slums in his Master's name." I question this last remark very much, he is ashamed to put his name to what he has said against brethren who are trying to help on the cause of Christ in our midst. His sneers about the good and holy are in very bad taste, more especially as he signs himself Fairplay;" his letter would have been more appropriately signed Foulplay," as he has nothing better to do than throw stones from behind his misnomer at those who aretrying, however feebly, to help on the cause of Christ and humaItity.-I am, &c., F. INGLIS, Hon. Sec. 5, Hillside Villas, Barry.

AT WENVOE. MISS JENNER COMPLAINS OF MALICIOUS CONDUCT. Miss Jenner, writing on Wednesday to the South Wales Daily News, says :—Since I returned from the High Court of Justice, on February 15th, I have had to contend with a series of malicious ana cowardly acts towards myself and my pro- perty, such as stone-throwing, windows smashed, flowers uprooted, and walls broken down, &c. But last night's work, for its wanton and mischievous waste, exceeds them all, in my opinion. I am growing my front garden for hay to give away to a clergyman not far off, and only yesterday it was admired as the earliest crop about here, and last evening I was sitting out in my front up to ten p.m., as it was so light, and the day had been so oppressive, and up to that hour the grass was safe enough but on going out this morning, at 6.10 a.m., I found a considerable portion of it all down, as if a man had been rolling all over it. Lodging local complaint has proved to be useless, so I will see what publicity in the Press will do. MISS JENNER AND HER LAW TROUBLES. Miss Jenner. of Wenvoe, asks a contemporary to state that she is deeply grateful for the expressions of sympathy for her illness which have reached her. Rhe is much better now, but, in accordance with the advice of her medical attendant, Mr. A. E. Taylor, she will go to some seaside resort before taking any step to procure a summons in the recent alleged assault case. At present her physical condition is not equal to the worry of an action.

LOCAL SPORTS. Attracted by the healthful weather on Saturday afternoon many of our Barry and Penarth friends journeyed to the grounds of the Grangetown Athletic Club. were the first fiat races of that body were held. It was a most successful inaugural meeting of the above club, which, for an amateur gathering, was far from being mediocre, there being some of the best sprinters in the neighbour- 'I hood present, as upwards of 350 entries for 12 events will testify. In fact, the cream of the running fraternity of the West of England and Wales made their presence felt. The racing was well up to the standard, and considering the rough unfinised track, good time and very close, exciting finishes were the order of the day, three or four dead heats raising the spectators' enthusiasm higher even than the intense heat which prevailed all through the afternoon. The committee, in their programme, regretted that, owing to the exceptional drought, they had been unable to get the ground into proper condition, and, for the most part, it cer- tainly was far from a model race track in fact, it is a regular heart-breaker but, as one competitor remarked to another, "It is just as bad, Jack, for one as the other while one man. with his bag in hand, tried his paces, turned to his trainer, with "Rather a ragged un, but better far than where I trained on." So our recommendation to the Com. mittee of Management is to get the ground into proper-going order, and their future prosperity will become an established fact, because if about 2,000 persons attended a raw, maiden effort, it stands to reason that future meetings must draw good and substantial gates. The prizes offered, according to the programme, aggregated £ 40, which was, from our observation, far below their real value. The pro- ceedings were certainly conducted in most exemplary style, and reflected great credit upon the committee, who were well represented by the following officials :—Handicapper, Mr. A. J. Davies judges, Messrs. S. H. Nicholls and W. M. Shepperd starter, Mr. Stowe timekeeper, Mr. H. Wheeler. The Cardiff Mechanics Band was in attendance, and played a capital selection, under the conductorship of Mr. D. Moore.

CYCLING. Many of our local knights of the wheel have had rare good runs during the past week. They were to be met on every road, and seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. The only thing which appeared to trouble them was the fact that they could not keep themselves cool. We hoped that some of our young friends will take the hint that it is some- what dangerous to race on the narrow country roads with so many 6harp curves. One day last roads with so many sharp curves. One day last week, we understand, two of them had a very nasty collision, and it is a mystery how they were not killed. Good healthful exercise is to be found in cycling, but continual driving at a breakneck does no one any good.
