THE NORTH PEMBROKESHIRE FOXHOUNDS.
THE NORTH PEMBROKESHIRE FOX- HOUNDS. tift EDITOR,—1 have teen no mpntion of these bounds in any local paper: I will with your permis- sion endeavour to place before your readers what, I saw ot them upon two occasions—the first when the meet was at Letterstone lately. The day was rough and fine. There was a large meet, and one lady in a scar- let jackst graced the field, and rode well. After the usual hour the hounds were taken to a gorse opposite Heathfield: this was drawn blank. Thence over the river to Priskilly here we find at once. The fox first of all goes in the direction of the House, he then wheels to his right, and got to the cover below. The hounds giving him no rest, they forced their fox to the end of the cover, and he bieaks with his head to Stone Hall. Then taking along the slopes that face the river, he is pushed a long at a great pace to St. Lawrence Glebe Land over this, and over the Welsh- hook road, and through the Stone Hall covers, he goes to and swims the Cleddau, and so on to Welshhook. From this his point is now Seal vham: leaving Sealyham House upon hie right, he crosses the meadow land here, and so on and over Sealyham then to and over the St. Dogwell's Glebe Land. He gets away to the Garn Turney Rocks, then wheeling to his left, he makes straight for the Hyfryd covers, and so on to the end thereof. He was evidently making for the large earths close by, but unfortunately for our fox these are stopped. 'Jb's old fox was now dead beat, and after docking about the furze here, be got :.p into a thorn bush, but it was of no use: thus ended a run of some eight milrs in an hour and twenty minutes. No bounds ever pressed their fox in greater style, and 1\8 far as the writer can judge without a check. After breaking up our fox, Mr Phillip* draws up the Ford side of the Cleddau, and finds at the upper end. The fox makes Hayscnstlo his point, and then -zets back to Stoneball, and after a run of some 40 minutes is run into under Barnards Hill, thus killing a brace of foxes with two nice runs on the same day. Now for No. 2 occasion. This meet took place upon the 6th inst., at Mr Charles Mathias's shooting box, below Lettcrstone. The day was rough and cold. There was a fairly good meet, and amongst them I noticed with Mr Lort Phillips, and Mr Saunders levies, Mr Worthington, M.F.H., and Mr Herbert Worthington, Mr Colby, T. O. Edwardes, O. F. Bdwarde*, and Mr Harries, the celebrated steeplechase rider, also Mr Merriman, late huntsman. After par- taking of Mr Mathias's hospitality, we are'directed by him to draw some moorland under Langwarren. Not finding here, we proceed to Jordaston Moor, ana here Mr Mathias favours us with one of his foxes. This fox leaves the moor, -or is rather obliged to do so, and at a very quick rate be comes up a plough field, and then crosses the Llangwarren road, and on to Treved cover. Finding no rest here, he comes back to the road that he had just crossed, where under a hedge it, a plough field, the hounds check, but the quick eye of Merriman discovers our fox in a field to his left. Mr Lort Phillips at gallop is on his line, and at once our fox now goes to Llangwarren to find the earths topped, then over the river here and on to Heath- field. He again crosses the Cleddau to Priskilly with the hounds at his bru-b, and through the woods here. lie breaks at the further end, and then takes the line of the river to St. Lawrence Glebe Lands, over this and up to tbe Welshhook road, he goes straight for Barnards Hill. Now ho wheels to his right, and so on to Priskilly Vawr Mountain, and from thence down to the Cleddau, which-be crosses, and up to Welshhook. Leaving this upon" his right, his point now seems Sealyham, but no; the wind and the pace is against him, so sinking wind, he makes for the Cleddau, out just before reaching the Cleddau, he goes within 10 yards of a cottage, and the owner tells the writer that he is a large and nearly black fox, and this was the colour of the fox as seen when fouud—no doubt from the way he rau a cub: he did not know the country, but he was a wonderfully good one to stand before such bounds for one hour and a half, over fully 8 tniles of country. In conclusion, I would say in my Opinior, that the (perfection of a untsman is first, to hav* his bounds under such control, that when a fox breaks be gets them on his line at once, and 2nrt!y, Very quick at a cast, quiet in the field, using the horn only when absolutely necessary, and to be a grand horseman, an 1 drawing very closely. All these qualifi- Cations Mr Lort Phillips has to perfection: his hounds are the fasteitt upon the line of a fox that tiai writer has ever seen in North Pembrokeshire. Mr Lort Phillips has in Mr Saunders Davies, our High Sheriff, a grand horseman, and a splendid whip, and Mr Phillips has a moss able assistant in Mr Merriman. ■A-s a huntsman cannot at all times see what is taking place when hunting, so an old sportsman can be of material or great service. With these hounds, no run on any day seems to be too long for them, such is their condition. 1 am, faithfully yours, ONE WHO WAS OUT. February 10th, 1889. DEAR MR EDITOR,—How much longer will the Pembrokeshire Farmer contiune to bpar the odium of sendin" the worst butter in the kingdom to marke t, without making an effort to alter his mode of dairying. It is a well-known fact, that the herbage of Pembroke- shire is capable of making the finest butter in creation (as brother Jonathan says), and individually such but- ter can be bought in the County, but collectively it is the most miserable stuff that any one can conceive. Go into our Haverfordwest market, and for every one good basket, you will find 10 bad as to tbe casks don't mention it, the best is spoiled by salt, and as to two thirds of the remainder, Margarine at 6d. lb. would be a king tojit. Well, Mr Editor, what is the c-iuse of this ? First of all, from bad dairy management, dirt and filth, next greed and conceit. The first I need not •pecify, tbe second, grrod by skimming the milk too bare, and keeping it too long, by which a lot of sour' 8Vim milk is churned with the cream, giving it a hot eheesy taste. Again a lot of salt, as milch as lIb of 8:ilt to 101b of butt-r is put simply to hide the bad flavour and to have so many pounds of salt to sell as butter. Conceit in thinking that their own way is bet- ter than any one's else: in fact, yon cannot offer a greater insult to a Pembrokeshire Dairy woman, than to hint that there ia a better way of making butter than hers. But in spite of offending t.hojfair creatures, I am bound to tell them that there is: I am sorry to say hard things against my loir countrywomen, for a more industrious and h ird working class of women than our farmers' wives there cannot be found/and if they would but, consent to usa their heads as well as their hands, they would in a short time make an article that would drive the foreigner out ot the market. A few years back Sweden, Norway and Denmark were considered thj most famous in Europe. Now they command tbn •SiMisli market, and why? because they listen to reason have taken advantage of science, and have en- tirely altered their mode of dairying, and in every small farm of ten cows, you will find a separator, a butter worker, and one of Mr Llewellyn's last pattern ehurns, no milking with hot hands, no dirty lead pans, no sour milk, and no salt whatever, but only a wash in "alt water before the butter has got into a lump, and While it is the size of pea-, and then sending the same to a butter factory where it is classed, made up into neat packages, and spnt to the London market. What other countriei have done, surely we can. But before they and tbe dairies came to their present perfection, they established dairy schools all over the country, and Why cannot we ? Ll see b7 the papers th t the Bath and West of England Society are starting schools all over the West of England, and I know they are prepared to start one at Haverfordwest next March, if they can °Uly get a guarantee that scholars are to be fo md" Xheir requirements arc very little, and in my opinion, o\lr Farmers' Club could not do bet:er than to spend £ 20 of their surplus revenue to forward tbe object. I feel sure Mr Llewellyn would find all the new appli- ances required, and the Corporation a suitable build- 1119. The farmer in the neighbourhood would fin Hiilk and lovely scholars from their own private stock 'tld I have no doubt the landlords will give a helping. W Joking aside, Mr Editor, I do think it is the rjght thing to do. Dairying is the only thing that farmers now can depend on: that and rearm? of stock is the only thing that pays, aiiII7 1 thereforr, I double you with this letter. °J Oow KEEPER. BATH AND WEST OF ENGLAND DAIRY SCHOOLS. Mr G Gibbons, in the absence of the chairman, presented the report of the Dairy Schools Committer, -hieh "ave particulars of the two most recent HchooliS ?Pened0by the Society atSheptcn Mallet and Chipper.- ^atn. Both had been so successful that it had been f°nnd necessary to add an extra course of instruction ln eac}, case beyond those originally arranged for, as wag an overflow of student?. Allusion was *°ade to the heartiness with which the local com- *nittees at both towns had co-operated with the Committee and to the Society's indebtedness to gentlemen who hacl kindlv delivered lectures, or had II.cted as judges of the competitions. The report S°ntained the gratifying announcement that Her Majesty's Privy Council had awarded the Society a Srant of £ 100 in recognition of the work it had been cprrYing out in its schools, and stated that another 8chool would be opened at Exeter on February 26th l. applications to the Society to establish Schools will __a received by the Secretary vThos. nuwman, Thrace Walk, Bath) from Local Committees, formed ln the districts desiring such instruction, who will ^dertake 1> I.

IT Offices |' 54, JOHN DALTON STREET, MANCHESTER. This Company has purchased a Freehold Property, E about 200 acres in extent, situated on the Welsh 3 Coast, near to St. David's, Pembrokeshire, and com- prising the excellent and safe Harbour, known as r Porthgain the well-known Slate and Slab Quarries of Porthgain and Abereithy and extensive and I valuable Syenite Granite Quarries, now worked for the first time. t Owing to the long-continued trade depression, steps f were only recently taken to obtain the capital neces- A sary for commencing operations. The Directors have already privately allotted upwards of £17,000, exclu- sive of fully-paid Vendor's Shares, PORTHGAIN HARBOUR Is the Freehold Preperty of the Company. Facing North, it is well sheltered from the prevailing and violent W. and S.W. winds, and it has a wide and straight entrance channel with deep water. Being close to the Quarries (the Mills and Works being on the Wharves), Vessels up to 200 tons can load along- side without incurring land carriage. This Harbour I is the nearest available port for part of Pembrokeshire, i and tbe Company lintend to run their own steamers, and make Porthgain the Shipping Dgpot of the Dis- trict. The Manchester Ship Canal will give a great im- petus to the coast shipping trade, and through it this 'I Company will have direct sea communication with the heart ;>t"Lancashire. Themovementfordeveloping inland navigation, so as to admit of their use bv sea- going vessels is highly favourable to this Company. THE SLATE AND SLAB QUARRIES Are extensively opened, and produce Slate and Slab of good marketable value well known in the Markets. The improvement now taking plnce in the Slate and Slab Trades will largely benefit this Company. The immense returns from the Penrhyn Quarries < ( £ 200,000 profits in a single year), from Mr Assbeton Smith's ( £ 150,000 profits), from Lord Palmerston's ( £ 80,000), and other Quarries, were. invariably pre- ceded by years of unproductive ontlay, during the completion of the necessary works, and the opening, out of the Quarries this once accomplished, each sue- -1 ceeding ycnr's labour became increasingly profitable. On the Quarries acquired by this Company, similar large and necessary outlay has been made, the advan- tages of which will now be reaped. Abereithy Quarry is 450 feet by 300 feet aaross, and 150 feet deep, and has five well-constructed gal-j leries. Upwards of 80,000 Slates have been produced per month, the majority being of large size and first quality. The Slate is remarkably easy to split and make. Porthgain Quarry is 294 feet by 160 feet across, and 130 feet deep. There are five galleries producing ex- cellent Slab, and capable of returning 6,000 tons per annum. A new vein of fine blue Roofing Slate, of excellent quality has recently been discovered, ar.d is now being worked. The well-known Trwym Vein also crosses the property. There is also a vein of Green Slate, 17 yards wide, similar to the celebrated Whit- land Abbey Vein. The value of the property is largely increased by these disepveries. Both Quarries are supplied with complete machinery and plant, slate-sheds und tramways. Porthgain Quarry is now being connected with the Harbour Wharf (which is level with the lowest gal- | leries) by an 8-foot tunnel driven horizontally through j the intervening hillside, a distance of 150 yards. By means of this, Slab and Debris will be brought out at much lees cost than formerly, and the Quarry will also be effectively drained of water, without the ex- pense of pumping. THE SLATE AND SLAB DEBRIS At Porthgain and Abereithy is peculiarly adapted for making excellent high-class Bricks and Tiles, )\1t- pervious to water, and remarkably strong. The cost of manufacture is low. Contractors of large experi- ence speak highly of the quality of Slate Debris Bricks. Having a free harbour and no land carriage i. this company will be able to develope a very large trade. These are almost the only Slate Quarries in j. Wales situated actually on a harbour. The advan- tage of this was enormous, as owing to the heavy weight of these bricks sea carriage affords the only means of trading profitably. The Directors have ordered the necessary machinery and plant. THE GRANITE PROPERTIES. Extensive and remarkable Syenite Granite Deposits cross the Company's property, near Porthgain, which for Setts, Macadam, and Engineering Work in gene- ral, cannot be surpassed. The Quarry is being rapidly opened at little cost, and a quantity of setts (which are already sold) have been made. A powerful crane is the only machinery necessary for getting ..t(;f]8 s of a very large «ize. Machines for making Macadam have been ordered. THE FREEHOLD PROPERTY. Extensive mill-houses, engine-houses, fitting-shop, carpenters' shops, smithies, stables, offices, store- houses, 58 substantially built houses and cottages coal yard, slate sheds, and slate yard. The rentals of the cottages amount to about £ 350 per annum. TRAM OR NARROW GAUGE RAILWAY. ATramwav21mi!csinIength, connects Abereithy Quarry with the Harbour. THREE LARGE RESERVOIKS Supplied by a good stream of water running through the Properties, anorditig water power for driving the planing and other machinery. VELINDRE HOUSE AND GARDENS, Which is most useful for tbe accommodation of Directors and gentlemen having business on the Company's property. The Gardens and Meadows are walled and III good order there are also stables, coach house, cart house, storerooms, &e. ESTIMATE OF PROFITS. As the Company will carry on three separate trades, at one place and under one management, there will be great economy in fixed expenses and cost of work ing. The Capital actually employed will be from £2[),000 to £ 30,000. Any estimate of Profit must he based on the capa- city of the property, and the ptices realizable to day. (1). Assuming an output of Slate and Slab known to he well within the capacity of the quarries (2). the output of very shortly and j3) the number of Slate Debris Bricks and Tiles which one machine will make (without reckoning other more I profitable article?), it is estimated that at prices ob- tainable to-day, a net profit of 20 per cent to 25 per cent, should be made. The whole of the Properties and Rights are acquired for the sum of £ 24,600, of which a htrge part is taken in Shares. The cash payable is chiefly requisite for purchasing the freehold. Tbe only Contracts are between T. Davies of the one part, and J. A. for the Company, of the other part, dated the 1st of May, 18S3 the second is between J. Davies of the one part, and the Company of the other part, dated the 12th of September, 1888. A large part of the purchass money (both cash and shares) is payahie by instalments in proportion to the capital allotted. For full particulars see the prospectus, which may be had from the Bankers, Brokers, and the Secretary of the Company. February) 1889. MRS. POWIS'S REFRESHMENT ROOMS, Dark Street, Haverfordwest.
