Pembrokeshire Association for the Preser. vation of Ancient Monuments. X ANNUAL REPORT, 1908. LLAWHADEN CASTLE.-All stems of ivy have been cut through near the roots and the stumps painted with corrosive sublimate, and it is hoped that by this means they will be effectually destroyed. Much of the ivy is, however, rooted in the walls, and still appears to be flourishing. The saplings upon the walls have also been cut and treated in the same way. The grass upon the tops of the walls should be removed, and a thin layer of concrete laid in order to prevent further growth, this might be done in sections, as funds permit, but much under- pinning and pointing is required in places. The proposed approach to the Octagonal Tower was found to be a more expensive undertaking than at first supposed, and as the work could Dot be done for the sum voted, viz., £20, the scheme has been postponed for the present. Your Committee recom- mend that the architect endeavour to devise some less costly means of access. CASTELL COCH.-The ivy and trees have been cut, aud the necessary pinning of the walls could now be Eroceeded with. The arch over one of the windows as been badly shaken by a large tree falling upon it; this arch should be pointed and cement grout run into the cracks from above; the walls should also be concreted along the top. The whole place is much oevrgrown with weeds. CILGERRAN CASTLE.-This Castle is still in a much neglected condition, and in places very dirty. It is understood that someone is being paid for looking after the place, but very little appears to have been done since the Cambrian Society visited it. CAREW CASTLE.-Some interesting details in the walls have been disclosed by the cutting of the ivy. LOVESTON CHURCH BELL.—With the consent of the Vicar and Churchwardens, this bell has been unbung and placed in safety upon the floor of the bell chamber. Upon examination it was found, however, that the bell is badly cracked, and cannot again be used; the following inscription was found upon it: Sancta Maria Ora Pro Nobis." It should be replaced by a new one. HOBESTON WEST. An appeal has been issued for funds for the restoration of this ancient church, and it is hoped that the stone effigy, and other objects of antiquarian interest, will be carefully preserved: a considerable sum is needed which it is hoped will be forthcoming. RHOSCROWTHER CHURCH. The removal of the stone altar from the floor of the chancel should be proceeded with by the Vicar and Churchwardens with the assistance of this Association it has been suggested that it should be fixed into the frame of the communion table under the table top if this should not be thought desirable it might be placed upright in a suitable position against the wall. JOHNSTON CHURCH.—This ancient building is now under restoration, and your committee have every confidence that the work will be carried out in a thoroughly conservative spirit; in the south transept a mutilated Piscina has come to light. PREHISTORIC HEARTHS. — A considerable number of what are probably the remains of prehistoric hearths, or cooking places, have lately been dis- covered in this county, and other parts of Wales, by Messrs T. C. Cantrill, B.Sc., and O. T. Jones, B.Sc., B.A., of the Geological Survey of England and Wales, a list has already appeared in the Archaeologia Cambrensis, sixth series, Vol. VI P. 17, and a further list will shortly appear in the same journal. ST. CATHERINE'S CHAPEL, MILFORD.-It is much to be feared that this ancient building, the greater part of which is still standing, may come to harm owing to the new street which is planned. Your committee earnestly hope that the sacred edifice and the graveyard will be protected and the chapel restored to its ancient use. ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY.-The survey has now been completed and a full copy of the maps and letter-press has been deposited with the National Library of Wales. A copious index to the survey has also been printed. TREHOWELL INSCRIBED STONE.—A stone gate-post having an incised cross upon one face and an ogam inscription running along one of the angles has recently been found on this farm in the parish of Llanfyrnacli, in the county of Pembroke, the inscription has not yet been read. The stone, which does not occupy its original position, should be removed to a place of safety as soon as possible. The Stone was found by Mr Arthur O. Griffiths, Glandwr, Stone was found by Mr Arthur O. Griffiths, Glandwr, and reported by Mr Llewellyn James, Derlwyn. THE GOODWICK CROMLECHS.—These cromlechs are near tbe new street recently built by the G. W.R. Co., and it was feared that they were in danger. Upon investigation, however, it was found that they are just outside the Company's boundary and are not Jikely to be disturbed by anyone. The resident engineer's attention might be called to (hem, and it would be well if some member would visit the place from time to time. NEVERN CHURCH.—The ogam stone in this church, which was discovered at the meeting of the Cambrian Archaeological Association four years ago, has not yet been placed in a position where it could be read. Your Committee have made several repre- sentations to the authorities of the church, and they trust that the stone will soon be removed to a more satisfactory place. J. W. PHILLIPS, November 23, 1908. Hon. Sec.

WITH-a sumpttous Christmas Double Number The WINDSOR MAGAZINE breaks new ground and sets a higher standard than has ever been reached before in magazine enterprise for total bulk, infinite variety and splendid value of content; For within the handsonme coloured covers of this one issue are to be be found the latest work of the most distinguished novelists. In the domain of fact the articles of the number cover II. wide range of interests, instructive and entertaining, among the distinguished contributers being Lady Henry Somerset and Charles G. D. Roberts, and in this deparment are subjects which supply themes for a large number of finely I'nlnn1'l!éI nlates. Thus an article on The Women of the Bible in Modern Art is accompanied by no fewer than five admirable coloured plates from originals by eminent artists, in addition to nineteen reproductions of other pictures in- black and white. Four further coloured plates are from the spirited sporting pictures of Mr Thomas Blinks, of whose work there is an interesting account, with many half-tone reproductions in addition to the four coloured plates. Golf is represented by a pair of coloured plates from pictures by J. Finnemore and four other subjects in this notable coloured series are from pictures by J. MacWbirter, R.A., Joseph Earquharson, A. R.A.. Mrs Seymour Lucas and Miss Lovering. Altogether it is an amazing sliillingsworth of really important letterpress admirably illustrated. TEACHING MKTIIODS.—Four American teachers are at present visiting Barry secondary and elementary schools. Thesje ladies, Xvho are from New- Jersey^ schools—the Board of Education of which they describe as one of the finest in the States-have been granted four months' leave of abseuce without loss of salary. In an interview with our representative they gave their general im- pressions of the salient features of British education. In the infants' departments, they said, at Barry the work compared favourably with the best work seen by them in the rest of the towns visited, but wherever good work was exhibited it meant a good teacher. In view of the opinion in some quarters in Barry and elsewhere that it was not altogether necessary to have a good teacher for infants' schools, the ladies were emphatic that in the infants' departments, above all, good and efficient teachers were neeesary to start the child's education on the right basis. Great stress was laid upon this in American schools.—Asked what were some of the points of difference between British and American education, one of the ladies stated that the tendency in America WAS to allow the people to do a. great deal of work, whereas in many of the British schools the teacher did too much work, and the lessons were less y • *tical and partook more of the lecture form. This wa > less appar- ent in Scotland than England. On the question of the relative spelling abilities they said it was difficult to judge, one of them statiug that before she could say the spelling was good she would want to personally test them-and to test them, not with a selection from a dictionary, but of words which the children used. They were pleased with the composition and spelling at the Barry County School. SHERIFF'S DUTIES. The office of Sherriff is not such a sinecure as many people imagine. Although many of his duties are now performed by deputy, the Sheriff is still the chief excutive officer for all criminal processes, and must eyefc carry out jbhe sentence of death with his own hands if no one will perform this unpleasant duty for him. lie has also to attend the Judges of Assize and provide them with carriages and escort of javelin mev, and he must see that they are comfortably housed in suitable "Judges lodgings." And for any neglect of these he liable to he com- mitted for contempt of court. Not long ago a Sheriff was fined because he had lodged a Judge over a batcher's shop, and in another case one was severely censured because he had requisitioned a growler'' for the Judge's conveyance from the station, instead Of the usual carriage and pair,

Marriage of Lady Edith Campbell. FASHIONABLE CEREMONY IN LONDON. The parish Church of Holy Trinity, Brompton, was on Saturday afternoon the scene of one of the most interesting weddings > of the season, when Lady Edith Campbell, daughter of the Earl and Countess Cawdor, of Golden Grove, Carmar-i thenshire, and Stackpole Court, Pembrokeshire, was led to the altar by Mr. Charles Ferguson, son [of Colonel and the Hon.

Pembrokeshire Territorials. A meeting of the Pembroke County Committee under the Territorial Act, was held at Haverford- west, when Colonel Walker presided, and there were also present Sir Owen Scourfield, Dr. Geo. Griffith, Mr. J. V. Colby, Colonel Lloyd, R.E., Colonel Goodeve, Colonel Roch, Colonel W. R. Roberts, Colonel Beddoe, Major Owen H. S. Wil- liams, Major Treweeks, Captain W. J. Jones, Mr J. C. Yorke, and t'he secretary, Mr. Pugh. The provision of drill halls was discussed, and a plan for a new drill hall for Haverfordwest was laid before the Assoeiation by Captain W. J. Jones, who maintained that the new hall would considerably assist recruiting in Haver- fordwest and district. The proposal was very favourably received, but t'he association thought the plans a little too elaborate and costly. It was decided to delegate powers to Col. Roberts and Captain Jones to further consult with Mr. Hugh Thomas, the architect, with a view to cer- tain modifications in the plans. The proposed removal of the headquarters of tVe 2nd Battalion from Haverfordwest to Llanelly was next considered. Dr, Griffith vigorously pro- tested against the suggested removal, and he was supported by Colonel Roch and Captain Jones, the latter gentleman pointing out that the first Volunteer corps started in Wales was at Haverfordwest. It was pointed out that Colonel Roberts would be succeeded in command by a Carmarthenshire gentleman, and that it would be more conveni- ent to have the headquarters at Llanelly. To this Captain Jones replied that on a former occasion Colonel Picton Evans of Cardigan, was in command, but the headquarters were not re- moved. Colonel Walker held that to remove the head- quarters would add to the prospects of recruit- ing in Llanelly. Captain Jones did not think it would have the least effect on recruiting, and mentioned that recruiting was advancing in Llanelly at the pre- sent time, and that no reason could be assigned for the removal. A resolution was passed protesting against any removal of the headquarters from Haverford- west. Col. the Earl of Plymouth. C.B., has been ap- pointed to the- honorary colonelcy of the Gla- morganshire Royal Garrison Artillery. 4

St. David's. EARLY LAMBING. A yearling ewe, belonging to Mr. Thomas, of Lower Treginnis Farm, gave birth to two lambs on Sunday last. Both mother and youngsters are doing well. Surely this' is rather early. ST. DAVID'S LIFEBOAT. In response to a telegram from Strumble Head on Wednesday evening that signals of dis- tress had been noticed from the neighbourhood of Porthgain, the secretary (Dr. Williams) gave orders to launch the boat at 8.30 p.m. This was promptly carried out, and the boat had an ex citing time between Porth Stinan and Strun>ble Head, in spite of favourable tide and wind, very heavy seas prevailed. Fortunately, as it turned out, they were not able to discover, after careful search, any signs of a vessel in distress, and re- turned at 9 a.m., to the boat house. The rocket apparatus was also sent to Porthgain, but like- wise, without discovering anything requiring as- sistance. We are glad to congratulate the crews both of the life boat and rocket apparatus on their prompt answer to the call of duty. ST, DA VD'S CITY HOCKEY CLUB. Several good practices have taken place, being well attended, especially last Wednesday, when a really good match was played between mem- bers on the club ground, at the Grove Hotel. We are glad to hear that two, if not more, matches have been arranged for during the next few weeks, by our energetic secretary, Miss M. Bey- non, Qf Pealan, and the captain, Mr, E. Spack- in^n,

MILFORD HAVEN. THE STORM. The storm which visited West Wales on Sunday was felt in no part of the county as it was felt in Milford. In Hamilton Terrace on Sunday night pedestrians could only with difficulty remain on their legs. One lady was blown right off her feet and received a nasty fall. WESLEY GUILD. The first Literary meeting of the above Guild was held in the Schoolroom on Monday last, the Rev. J. Ward presiding. A paper on "W. E. Gladstone" was read by Mr. Ralph Morgan. All present appreciated the paper. CHAMBER OF TRADE. At the annual meeting of the Milford Chamber -u of Trade, held recently, the following were elec- ted officers for the ensuing year :-President: Mr A. J. Rust; vice-president, Mr. J. R. Garrett; treasurer, Mr. W. T. Laugharne; secretary, Mr. R. W. John. The Chamber has been discussing several matters of importance, including better train facilities to and from Milford, and better deliveries by the steamship companies. WHIST DRIVE AND DANCE. A whist drive was held on Thursday night in last week at the Assembly Rooms, Masonic Hall. There were fourteen sets, under the direction of Mr. Robinson. The ladies' prize was won by Miss Oliver, Mr. T. S. MacDonald taking the gentlemen's prize. The same evening there was a dance in the hall. Miss Davies presided at the piano, the M.C. being Mr. Howlett. I NEW READING AND RECREATION ROOM. A new reading and recreation room which has he«n built in connection with the Priory-Room Mission House was opened on Monday evening. The building, which is of corrugated iron, has been built at a cost of £30. Prior to the open- ing ceremony, which was performed by Arch. Williams, a supper was held in the adjoining mission room. In declaring the room open. Archdeacon Williams said that he hoped the new room would be the means of enhancing the moral and spiritual welfare of the young men connected with the district.-Capt. Hall, evan- gelist in charge, also spoke.-A. meeting of mem- bers was afterwards held, at which it was deci- ded that the room should be managed by a com- mittee of six, composed of-Messrs. J. Fairbairn (chairman), J. John, J. Thomas, T. Sweeney, R. Thomas, and H. East; treasurer, Captain Hall; secretary, Mr. T. Lawrence. -:0:

THE OWEN PHILIPPS' CHALLENGE CUP.- 1st ROUND. DEPARTMENT ATHLETIC v. MILFORD RESERVES. Owing to the Milford first team being away at Ebbw Vale, the Reserves had to meet the Pem- broke Athletic at Milford on Saturday. The homesters, however, were assisted by a couple of first team men. Playing with the wind, the visitors attacked stronly at the outset, but they could not pierce the home defence, which was very strong. Dur- ing a visit to the visitors' territory, Hoggins should have scored, but his parting shot went wide. The visitors had most of the play, and on several occasions severely tested Jones, but the custodian was in hue' form. andkept out many a slashing shot. For an infringement of the rules the Athletic were awarded a penalty which Jones saved amid applause. From this point up to half-time the game was strenuously contested in spite of the rain, which made things uncomfort- able for the spectators. Scientific play was at a discount owing to the slippery nature of the ground. Towards the close of the first half the homesters lost a couple of fine ehances, and half 'time arrived with no score. With the wind at their backs Milford attacked, but the Athletic put up a good defence, and made a couple of rallies to the home half. However, they were driven back. From a throw in Thomas placed back to Burr, the latter sending in a long oblique shot, which beat the visitors' goal-keeper all the way. In fact he made no attempt to btop it. Almost immediately after this success the Athletic had an opportunity of equalising. Jones, however, ran out a goal, and succeeded in transferring the venue to the other end, where Hoggins again put through. Just before the close a free kick was awarded the homesters close in and Hoggins again espying an opening shot a third point. This was the extent of the scoring. Milford being declared winners by three goals to s nil. P. Thomas, an old forward, and H. « Mathias at half-back made their first appearance this season, and gave a good account of them- selves. o:

RUGBY. MILFORD v. HAVERFORDWEST. The above teams met in a friendly encounter at Milford on Saturday. Play was of a scramb- ling nature, but the visitors succeeded in scoring a try in the first half, this being the only score j registered in the first ninety minutes. The play in the second half was wholly in favour of Mil- ford, but they were exceedingly unfortunate and could not get over. They were unfortunate also because it was dark when 'half-time was called, and before the finish it was practically impossi- ble to see the play. Shadowy forms could be seen darting here and there after an unseen ob- 1 ject. It was. however, gathered that Milford had the better of the argument, and a couple of ap- peals were made by them in respect of a try ( which they claimed to have scored, but they were not allowed. At length, however, they ob- ] tained a legitimate try, but Caisley failed to kick a goal. The result was a try each.

j MILFORD HAVEN URBAN COUNCIL ( I PRICE OF GAS TO BE REDUCED. 1 j ( THE COUNCIL AND THE GREAT WESTERN 1 RAILWAY COMPANY. I -< i An important statement was made by Dr. Geo. I Griffith (chairman of the gas and water commit- I tee) at the monthly meeting of the Milford Ha- ven. Urban District Council on Friday evening to 5 the effect that the inhabitants of Milford may 1 soon enjoy a reduction in the gaa rate. Mr. C. T. Blethyn presided, the other members present being: Dr. G. Griffith, Col. W. R. Roberts, Messrs < W. Williams, T. G. Hancock, D. G. Jones, G S 1 Kelway, A. S. Chugg, G. Cole, J. Rees, J. Llew- i ellyn Davies, and Dr. Davies. 1 PRICE OF GAS TO BE REDUCED. < Dr. George Griffith submitted the report of the Gas and Water Committee, which stated that the new bed of retorts was started on the 10th inst., and in consequence of the increased make it was found that two stokers were unable to properly attend to the extra work, therefore an extra man was engaged and the day divided into three shifts of eight hours each, this ar- rangement the committee 11.3 confirmed for the winter months. The Committee also reported that the new pumping plant at Priory had been working continuously for three months. There had not been the slightest trouble — everything being thoroughly satisfactory. The cost of coal coke, oil, etc., for the period was £ 12. lit was contended thai the new service reservoir be cov- ered with wire netting at a cost of about £ 25,and that goods be ordered to the extent of £31. Mr. Hancock seconded the adoption of the re- port. Colonel Roberts asked for a statement as to the expense of working the new pumping machi- nery at Priory, and for a comparison with the expense attached to the old system for the corre- sponding quarter of last year. He thought the public should know what saving had been effec- plant the installation of the suction gas Dr. Griffith replied that the same question had I been asked at the committee meeting, and the answer given was that the saving due to the new plant would be about &30Q a year. Col. Roberts: What do we save on this quarter? The Clerk: I should think the bill for coal for the last quarter will be from C70 to Z80 less than for the correspond .■ quarter of last year. Col. Roberts remarked jthai that was very satis- factory. J Dr. Davies: Does that include cartage? Clerk: Yes, everything, Mr. Kelway observed that according to the re- port the Gas and Water Works Committee 'had taken upon themselves to engage an extra man for the gas works without the sanction of the Council. Before making an appointment every other committee first consulted the council and on a matter of principle he thought the gas end water works committee had eveceeded their rights in this case, Mr. Llewellyn Davies: I am under the impres- sion that when the hew system' of retorts was recommended the gas could hf 0< v —— MiuuuiavtUiCU a 1 no greater expense. Dr. Griffith explained that the matter had been before the committee, and the extra labour was necessitated by the increased demand for gas, and as they could not get the men on for the same shifts as formerly the manager told the committee that lie could not possibly do without more labour. The committee concurred, and an extra man was put on. The Gas Manager, stated that more work could be done with the six retorts than was formerly done with the three beds of retorts. The expec- tations in that respect had been fully realised, and the extra labour was now required in con- sequence of increased consumption of gas. He had come to the conclusion that three shifts would be to the best advantage of the council, but if a more economical method could be sug- gested 'he would be most anxious to hear of it. Mr. Llewellyn Davies I hope the gas and water committee will not construe my remarks into a reflection on them in any way. The fact that there is a much larger consumption of gas is a matter of considerable satisfaction to the Council. The Gas Manager: This year's make will be about twelve millions. Last year it was about ten millions. Dr. Davies observed that the point raised by Mr. Kelway was that no labour should be en- gaged without the sanction of the Council. He should like to know whether the gas manager had been unable to consult the chairman of the committee, The Gas Manager: The extra retorts were put in on the 9th, and of course I satisfied myself before taking any steps that the men were un- able to cope with the increased' work owing to the extra bed having been put in. Mr. Kelway remarked that the gas and water manager knew very well that the demand for gas was increasing. He asked whether it would not have been possible for him to have brought ehe matter before a previous meeting of the com- mittee, so that they might submit a recommen- dation at the last meeting. The other Commit tees which had brought forward recommmenda tions probably wanted labour quite as badly as the Gas and Water Works Committee did, but these Committees had followed the proper and customary method of obtaining that labour. I Colonel Roberts was of the opinion that Mr ) Kelway was perfectly justified in bringing that matter forward, but he was certain that Mr. Kel- way, like all the other members of the Council, would be perfectly satisfied to find that there had been a considerable increase in the con- sumjpption of gas. That being so he hoped the Committee would at an early date take into con- sideration the desirability of reducing the price of gas, and thus still further increase the d& mand. Dr. Grimfim can assure the Council that it is the intention of the Committee to bring up a report at an early date. They will recommend a reduction in the price. The consumption of gas has now increased to such an extent that, I think, a reduction can be advantageously made. Mr. Llewellyn Davies: I think the Committee should devise some method whereby gas can be supplied cheaper in the day time for cooking purposes. A large number of people now use gas "cookers, and it would be a great boon to the inhabitants of Milford to have gas at a cheaper price between the hours of eight or nine, and from; four o'clock. Mr. John Rees said that the Clerk, or whoso- ever had the management of affairs, would have something to do keep the accounts if Mr. Davies' suggestion were adopted. Dr. Griffith: A statement of accounts in con- nection with this question has been prepared. They are now under the consideration of the [Committee, and they will bring their report. I do hope we shall be able to reduce the price of 'gas in a very short time, and I also hope that we shall be able to reduce the water charges. The time has come when we should take the question up. Mr. Kelway: I believe in many towns there are two prices for gas-one for lighting, and one for domestic purposes. It is a plan I should like to see in operation here. It is for the domestic part of the business that we have to look for the great increase in consumption. The Chairman thought that would be a very difficult thing for the gas and water manager. Mr. Kelway: Two meters would do it. The Chairman: It is impossible to make a dis tinction between the gas consumed in the day time and that consumed at night. But by hav- ing separate meters the difficulty might be over- come. Mr. John Rees: We can safely leave that in the hands of the Committee. The report was then adopted. AN UNBEARABLE STENCH. The Sanitary Committee, the report of which was submitted by Mr. J. Llewellyn Davies, stated that they had received an application for licence to keep Petroleum Spirit for light locomotives, from Mr. Gilbert Jones, of No. 9, Charles Street. The proposed place of storage having been ap- proved by the Surveyor, the Committee recom- mend that the licence be granted. The Commit- tee also approved of the Sanitary arrangements shown on the plans of a house and shop pro- posed to be built by Mr. Gilbert Jones in Charles Street, and of a house for Mr. S. F. Uglow, in Wellington Road. Mr. Jones seconded the adoption of the report. Mr. Chugg called attention to the fact that on the 17th ult., his attention was called to the con- dition of a cess pit at a house in Wellington Road, Hakin. The stench, he said, was so un- bearable that the neighbours had to close the doors and windows of their houses. Something should be done to warn the contractors. Mr. Llewellyn Davies said that there was a similar case in Milford, where a letter was sent, and the contractor was warned. The Chairman: A letter should have been writ- ten. The report was adopted. HIGHWAYS, LIGHTING, AND IMPROVE- MENTS. The Highways, Lighting, and Public Improve- ments Committee reported as follows:— Your Committee recommend (a) That the South side of Robert Street from; Priory Street down be kerbed and channelled, estimated cost 474 4s.. (b) Thiat the Rural District Council of Haver- fordwest be offered 920 (without prejudice) in settlement of their claim of <643 10s., amount of illeged damage to road from Tiers Cross to Ford in consequence of extraordinary traffic and exces- sive weight in hauling stones for the Urban Council, (c) That an extra man be employed on the Highways for three months, at £1 Is. per week. (d) That six new street lamps be ordered at a cost of £ 6. The Committee also reported: (a) That they have directed Notices to be served on the owners of property on the East and South sides of Nan- tucket Avenue to make up carriageway, kerb, and pave. (b) That they have approved of the following plans, and recommend their adoption by the Council, viz.: House and, shop, proposed to be built by Mr. Gilbert Jones in Charles Street; house proposed to be built by Mr. S. F. Uglow in Wellington Road. Amendment to Plan (No. 89) of houses proposed to be built by Messrs. W. and G. Cole, in Great North Road. Mr. Kelway made a number of comments on the report, and stated that the work on the high- ways had increadsed considerably, and this, he thought, quite justified the employment of an ;xtra man. Colonel Roberts seconded the adoption of the report. With reference to the damage alleged to have been done to the road from Tiers Cross to Ford, Mr. Chugg asked whether a detailed statement is to the damage had been submitted. Dr. Davies: Is not the contractor liable for the lamage to the road? If we are liable I should think the contractor ought to pay. Mr. Kelway replied that the liability fell upon the Council. Mr. Chugg observed that £20 was a very large reduction. It was a 50 per cent. reduction, If it was a just and legitimate charge against the Jouncil, why should it have been reduced? The Chairman: I may say that the Committee oelieve this to be a just charge. Mr. Hancock: Is there any information to be ?iven about the recreation ground ? It is about ;ime we should hear something now. Mr. Kelway: I can only say, as Chairman pro .em, that we have had nothing before the Com, nittee to justify us in bringing forward a report. Mr. Hancock: A letter has been sent out to some landowners. Can we have some informa- tion about that, The Clerk replied that replies had been re- ceived from certain landowners, and that the committee had visited some sites. But he added .hat no replies had been received to justify him in inviting the members to the office to discuss them. The only reply received since the June meeting was one from the estate stating that they had nothing to sell. Mr. John Rees: What about the landowners on the other side of the water# We must get a rec- reation ground for Hakin as well. It is part and parcel of the district. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Hancock: I think it was the idea that Hakin was to be included. Hakin was to be included. The Chairman: A letter is to be sent to the owners of property on the other side. A member: To be sure. The report was adopted, FINANCIAL. The Finance Committee recommended the pay- ment of bills amounting to £ 1,780. The Commit- tee also reported that they had had under con- sideration the District Auditor's report upon tht3 audit of the accounts for the year ended 31st March last, and, with a view to carrying out the suggestions of the Auditor, they recommended that, as the present Assistant Collector (Mr. Day) did not desire to become an exclusive officer of the Council, his engagement be terminated as soon as can be conveniently arranged, and that an Assistant Collector (full time) be appointed at a salary of £ 70 per annum. They also recom- mended that the Assistant Clerk's salary be in- creased to Z75 per annum, and, pending the new appointment, that power be vsled for to appoint temporary assi^tftnott at a' weekly wage of 27s. Mr. HaneoCk moved and Mr. Williams secon- ded the adoption of the report. Colonel Roberts made mention of the reference to Mr. Day's engagement, and in reply to a ques tion by him, the clerk explained that be ltad seen Mr. Day, who was ready to relinquish his office whenever it met' with the conyenience of the Council. Col. Roberts: Has the Committee power to ad- vertise for a successor? The Clerk: It is understood that the Committee will advertise. Colonel Roberts: That is all right. Mr. Llewellyn Davies asked whether it was necessary for a collector to devote his whole time to the work. He did not think it was. A man should be appointea who would be of some as- sistance to the Clerk in the office. Ultimately the report was adopted. TRAIN FACILITIES. A letter was read irorn the Great Western Rail- way Company acknowledging the Council's peti-' tion for better train facilities, and stating that "the representation made in the matter shall re- ceive the Company's careful consideration." (Laughter.) Dr. Griffith said they were very pleased to re- ceive the letter, but really the time had come when something definite should be decided upon It was useless to put the matter off for months and njonths, and the Company should be finally asked what they intended to do. Mr. Llewellyn Davies: I second that. The let ter may mean a good deal, and it may mean very little. The representation made in the mattel- shall receive the Company's easeful considera- tion. When? In the sweet bye and bve ? (Laughter., A letter should be sent as Dr. Griffith suggests, asking that they should give the letter immediate consideration. Dr. Griffith: We ought to have an assurance at once. Mr. Davies: They can do it very well. Dr. Griffith's suggestion was carried in the torm of a resolution. APPOINTMENTS. Colonel Roberts was appointed to represent the Council at the triennial meeting of the Governors of the University College of South Wales and Monmouthshire.-The Chairman was appointed the annual representative.—Mr. J. Llewellyn Davies was appointed the Council's representa. tive on the Port Sanitary Authority, • I M "4 Moravian Foreign Missions. BISHOP HASSE'S LECTURE ON JERUSALEM The annual Foreign Mission Festival in con- nection with the Moravian Church, Haverford- west, was held on Sunday and Monday. The Right Rev. E. K. Hasse, from London, and Bishop of the Moravian Church, paid another welcome visit to the historic old church. On Sunday morning there was a large congregation, i and the pulpit was occupied by the Bishop, who preached an appropriate sermon. In the even- ing the interior of the little church was crowded, to its unmost capacity. Bishop Hasse delivered an admirably lucid and well-reasoned discourse. Special hymns were sung at each service, and Mrs. Reed presided at the organ with ner custo- mary ability. The collections were in aid of the Foreign Mission Funds. On Monday evening, in the Temperance Hall, Bishop Hasse delivered his celebrated lecture, entitled, "Jerusalem Ancient and Modern," and illustrated by lantern views. Sir Charles E. G. Philipps, Bart., had been announced to take the r>liair and tnp ball was crowded in everv nart. The Rev. S. L. Connor said that Sir Charles' Philipps was unable to be present with themi that evening. Sir Charles had fully intended to take the chair right up till Saturday evening, when he (the speaker) was handed a letter by the Baronet's private secretary, and to the effect that Sir Charles was extremely sorry to have to ask then to excuse him presiding on Monday evening. As they might have heard he sus- tained a nasty fall at Haverfordwest some weeks previous, and his knee was not getting well so quickly as might be desired. Dr. Lloyd had, therefore, advised him that it would be safer not to attend the meeting on Monday evening. He had been looking forward with much interest to hearing what Bishop Hasse had to say about Jerusalem, which he (Sir Charles) had visited. The Rev. S. L. Connor explained that Mr. R. T. P. Williams had come forward to fill the breach as chairman. The chairman (Mr. R. T. P. Williams) said that they must all deeply regret the absence of Sir Charles Philipps, especially when that absence' was caused by a serious accident. He should like to take that opportunity, however, of cor- recting a mistaken impression which had got about. Sir Charles was inside the railings of the Shire Hall, which was outside the jurisdiction of the Corporation, and no blmae could therefore be attached to that authority. Dealing with the subject of the lecture, the chairman said that was the second visit of Bishop Hasse to Haverfordwest. He had the pleasure and privi- lege of hearing the Bishop at the Moravian Church, when he was both interested and in- structive. The subject of the lecture to be de- livered that evening was of world-wide interest. He did not suppose many people in that room that evening had, like Sir Charles, had the privi- lege of visiting Jerusalem, but he thought after they had listened to Bishop Haste's lecture they would know as much as if they had visited the most famous of cities. Miss Footner then sang "Oh. Divine Redeemer" with artistic expression and feeling. Bishop Hasse said Palestine was the land of hills and vallevs. The only port was Joppa. From Joppa they proceeded to Jerusalem, which was situated on a high plateau, 2,500 feet above the sea level. On either side they could descend into the valley of the Jordan, which was 3,700 feet below Jerusalem. Palestine was intensely inter- esting for its great historic associations. The old name for Jerusalem was Salem. The city itself was a curious blend between the old world and the new. The town itself was now in a very insanitary condition, and the greatest precaution was necessary if the tourists wished to avoid malarial fever. People flocked to Jerusalem from all parts of the world, and as many as forty different languages might be heard in its narrow streets. The houses for the most part were small, but there were modern houses owned by wealthy European Jews. The Palestine Explora- tion Society were doing a noble work, and some of the discoveries made by the excavators strik- ingly confirmed the Biblical narrative. Solo- mon's Temple must have involved an expendi- ture of £30,000.000, and Herod's Temple was al- most as magnificent. Solomon not only made Jerusalem the greatest of cities, but showed mar- vellous engineering skill in his provision of water by means of Solomon's Pools. Owing to _the sanitation of Jerusalem, the question of a water supply was now a very difficult problem, and it was stated that 200 Jewish children died everv year for want of water. The Mosque of Omar was one of the finest ecclesiastical structures in the world. Then there was the Church of the Holy Sephulcure, which probably ccntained the birth place of Christ. At Calvary to this day the rocks showed the rents which geologisis ascribed to some earthquake or commotion probably at the time of the Crucifixion. Some views of the Moravian leper home were also shown. Miss Rose Footner sang "There is a Greenhill Far Away" (Gounor), with the utmost feeling. The Chairman moved a vote of thanks to 'he lecturer, which was seconded by Mr. Sidney Rees, and carried wtth acclamation. The Rev. Owen Jacobs admirably manipulated the lantern. A number of interesting curios from foreign missionary fields were on view, and for sale.

The financial report showed that the membership had increased to 32, and that the total amount of scriptions reached £4 4s 6d for the past season.

Sir Owen. at this juncture, kindly handed to the *creta>y and treasurer £ 2 as subscriptions from himself and Lady Scourfield, which was thankfully acknowledged by all present. Mr Webb then proceeded to read his abstract of ihe doings of the club in the field. Seven atchea were wou, four lott and two drawn. The secretary pointed 0111 that the draw with Haverfordwest Grammar School was a virtual win as the sohool mnde 51 and Wilhamston 43 for five wickets, and that the Sww with the Haverfordwest Town team was tairly even, as Williamston scored 45 for five wickets to the Town's 78 in a completed innings, Coming to the batting averages. S. C. Webb stands first with 19'5, E. E. Goodridge next with 13-3, and H. Good-, ridge and D. George tie for third plaoe with 9,8. In the bowling averages H. Goodridge SAptured 14 wicbeti for 70 runs, S. Q, "Wsbb 25 for 127.Will John for 202 (6'3 average runs per wicket), and B. George 20 for 143 (7.1.)

Webb, 7 for 20, Stud f tor 12 (twice); and T. George 5 |for5. Mr J. \Ve,ib was for the third time unanimously re-elected secretary, treasurer and captain, and a hearty vote of thanks was accorded him, on the proposition of Sir Owen, for his work during the past season. The Rev. W. L. Stubbs proposed a vote of thanks to Sir Owen Scourfield for occupying the chair, and for the genial baronet's very keen a;id substantial interest in the club generally, Mr W. Elkins seconded in terms of greai eulogy, and coupled with Sir Owen the name of Lady Scourfield in equally happy terms. Iu supporting, Mr Webb remarked upon the very great kindness shown by Her Ladyship in providing ten so frequently last season in addition to her usv^al donation of £ 1. Needless to say the vote was mast heartily accorded amid much great applauses. The singing of the Natioual Anthem brought the proceedings to a close.
