DIVISIONAL COURT. — The Queen r. Judge of Car- marthen County Court awl Bar id Erans, ex parte C. Bishop, l'hij was an application to the Supreme Court, ou a Rule Nisi by Mr Charles Bishop, that judgment should be enteiecl up in the County Court i" accordance with the awa d of the Arbitrator, bncl in opposition to the order of the Judge of the. County Court in its appeal stating rhat) the Arbitrator should stJt", a case (.IT the A Supreme C#urt. The case wis, on the lith and 12ihUnst, .very fully urged before Mr Justice Cavc ard Mr Justice NVillo, by the consent of the parties, and the application was refused. Mr Justice Cave said that the Arbitrator had made a certificate which it was beyond the power of any court to adopt. Justice AVills, while corcuiring, adde d that the whole cane seemed to him to be in such a hopeless mudd.e that, if, tho appellant thought it well to do. anything more in the matter, he had better brg'n the pro:eeJings afresh from t^e bfginning* Mr W D Benson (instructed by Mr W„ Morgan Griffiths, Carmarthen) appeared for the appellant (Mr C Bishop); and Mr Tinclil Atkinson and Mr Arthur Lowis (instructed by Mr C E Morris, Carmarthen) for Mr D.

Ihe place of resort selected year again was Pendine. The company numbering 20 were conveyed In the brake drawn by three horses from the well-known hostelry, the Ivy Bush Hotel. The day turned out, to be a scorcher and the pleasant drive to Pendine was, therefore, more thoroughly enjoyed. The start was made at 7 o'clock iu the morning and when Laugharne was reached a short stay was made to refresh both men and horses. Pen- dine was reached about 10 o'clock and then all soon afterwards repaired to tho Spring Well, where a grand luncheou awaited t.hem. Ample justice having been done to the sumptuous spread laid before them the company wended their way towards the sands and indulged in a game of rounders between married and single; but owing to both sides claiming victory it wr.s declared a drawn game. I A move was then made to the cliff* when an open air concert was arranged and the following songs were sung kNlona," Mr Tom Bartlett The Ptirson and the Clerk. Mr J. Charactacus Davies Mr W. Morrish The old Arm Chair," Mr R. Bennett In our Back Yard last night," Mr Walter Davies •' I'll take you home a^ain, Kathleen," Mr Tom Bartlett; "Off to Philadelphia" Mr Caractacus Davies. After the conclusion of this concm t a dip in the briny" was suggested and the tide then being neatly full all agreed with the suggestion. At five o'clock the company returned to the Spring Well, where tci awaited them, and to which, with keen appetites after their most enjoyable bath, all did justice. The bo-.De journey was begun at 5 o'clock, arriving ni Laugharae at 6 o'clock, where a temporary I gtoppage was made at the Globe Hotel. The effect of this stop was another concert in which the following songs were rendered:—"Kitty Wells," Mr B. Bennett; Queen of my heart," Mr l\.m Battlett; "They all love Jack," Mr Caractacus Davies; I've worked 8 hours this dar," Mr AY illie Thomas; Her golden hair was hanging down her back. Mr Evan David Jones "Ting-a-liDg," Mr W. Morrish. Mr T. C. Davies acted as accom- panist. After a brief walk round Laugharne, inspecting the old place, a return was made to the hotel and, afterwards, the following hymns were SUD-t on the journey home, the conductor being ^lr Tom Bartlett: -Sandon, Crugvbar, Aberystwitb, Carnarvon, Rock of Ages. God bless the Prince of Wales and the National Anthem were Bung. Mr G. Bushell proposed and Mr G. Jeffreys, sec- onded a hearty vote of thanks to their respected teacher, Mr W. J. Williams, Cambray House, for his generous action in giving them this excellent treat. It w is unanimously carried. A similar vote of thanks to Mr Tom Smith for hi- excellent catering was passed. Mr J Caractacus Davies was the Secretary, and Mr Charles Davies, Kiug'Street, treasurer.

Johnstown Eisteddfod. 7o the Editor of the Carmarthen Weehly Reporter. Sitt, -You wiil, perhaps, permit me to say that the first note in the column of I L)cl o:ice in last week's issue to the effect that Johnstown Eisteddfod was "off" was incorrect. To dissipate all anxiety, and remove the uncertainty which your note has engendered is the object of my writing, Many frionds in the town and neighbourhood have readily subsciibed toward* the funds, and it will give them pleasure to learn that the event will come ofF. X.;W has come from several quarters that choirs ha\e already been formed to enter into com- petition. One of thp most eminent musicians (Mr I) Jenkiis, 1\111;0. liae ) will adjudicate, ati.1 his Wo-slu !d the Mayor (II Brunei White, E>q ), AY. M Griffiths, Esq., J.P., and the Rev J. Marsden, U D., have consented to presiela during the day. These facts go far to prove that success will be lightly wen. Yours respectfully, G. SAMUEL, H, 11, See.

PRECEPTS. Precepts for a county rate, at 11 t in the C, were agreed to. RECENT APPOINTMENTS. A letter was read from the Local Government Board approving of the reduction of the salary of Mr J. D. Hopkins, Quarterbach, rate collector, from £1-1 per annum to EIO.-Atiother from the same source was read approving of the appointment of Mr Rees Davies, as rate collector, for the parish of Bettws, at a salary of £ 26 a year. SANITARY AUTHORITY. The question of the repairs of the damage done to the road by timber haulage was again under discussion. At the last meeting the board had come to what was apparently a final conclusion as to the amount they would accept from Mr Sutcliffe and Air Jones, but Mr D. Jones, on behalf of the latter, proposed different terms.—The Chairman said it could not be discussed that day, and if Mr D. Jones wished to re-open the question, he must give notice to rescind what had been done at the previous meeting.—Mr D. Jonet then gave notice. THE L. & N. W. R. CO. & THE COUNCIL. The Council having complained to the Board of Trade of the delay caused to vehicular traffic by shunting operations at Llandilo Bridge Station, a reply was received from that body, enclosing a copy of a reply from the L. N. W. R. Co., in which they stated they had made enquiries inta the subject, and found that the shunting only took place once a day, when it became necessary for the engine to enter a loop joining: the main line. The delay never exceeded from 5 to 8 minutes, but arrangements should be made so as to prevent detention as much as possible, and it was believed there would not aga:n be any reasonable ground f"r complaint. ALAS FOR PARISH COUNCILS. Ever since its conception the Llandilo Paiish Council has been greatly concerned about the repair of a road atBrynback Farm, Brynatnman, over which there is claimed to be a right-of-way, and scarcely a meeting has been held but the question has cropped up.—The Clerk had at the request of the Parish Council written to the District Council, as by certain sections of the Local Government Act, it was clearly the duty of the District Council to deal with the matter. But it was equally clear the District Council did not want to deal with the matter, and they thought it was a question for the Parish Council, and so—on the principle of sending the fool fiirther "-the matter was referred back to the Parish Council. So the game of battlecock and shuttledore goes on with the Council in most matters the poor Parish Councils see fit to refer to them. ALLEGED OBSTRUCTION OF A ROAD AT AMMANFORD. In connection with an alleged obstruction of a read at Ammanford, which led to the river, Mr L. Bishop, agent to Lord Dynevor, had been communicated with, and in reply to the letter he received from the Clerk, he stated that he was much obliged for their consider- ing what would be to Lord Dynevor's advantage (a laugh). He had advised his lordship to put a gate to the road, but could not recommend it should be kept open for any purpose.Air ,T. L Williams maintained that on one side the public had a right ta the road. —The Chairman said he thought they had a right-of- way ta the river.—The Surveyor said there was no way of getting to the river unless they had that right. TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION. The Clerk to the County Council wrote with reference to the proposal of ii iviii., an itinerant farrier with a van pass through the county, and asking if the District Council would like the same to visit the localty.—It was agreed it should do so. A WATER RATE at 9d in the £ was agreed to for the Brynamman District. The amount it would realize was E-7,9 15s 7d arrears, 1:2 12s. Total, 9.56 6s ;n.

L L A N S A I) W R N CYMANFA GANU.—Tne annual sinking festival of the Congregaticnalists of Llansadwrn, Hermon, and Bwlchyffio, was held at Ebcr.ezer on the 11th inst., in this village. A large body of singers assembled, who soon made evident that they had diligently practiced the selected tunas during the year. The selections were from (.aniedyd,I Cynnlleidfaol, and comprised Abergele, Udgarn, Lennox, Rhondeli, Neuaddlwvj, Austria, Old Derby, Adeste Fidtles, Armageddon, Cynhauaf, with the anthems, Gweddi'a Mawl," and Tt-yri):isa le-u Mawr." The conductor was Mr James Rets, Llansadwrn, who has labouuel hard, in and oat ot season, with his choristers to produce such beautiful singing as was hc-arcl at the Cymania. A new feature this year WAS the iiitiolili,tiin of violins to accompany the* music. A vast concourse of ) eople asee nbleel, and the effect surpasld anything yet produced io the district.

LLANDILO. TRIPS AND TREATS.—On Thursday, the 11th inst.. the annual school treat took place at the Trapp, and was entered into with considerable zest.—Oa Monday last a most successful Sunday School trip was organized by the Baptists, Methodists, and Wesleyans to Aberystwith. Some eleven hundred persons took advantage of it, and were conveyed to that favourite watering place in two trains. It is needles to add that as as the weather was so fine, an enjoyable day was spent. EABLY MUSHROOMS.—Some of these delicacies were picked up at Carregcetmsn Castle farm on Saturday last, A CHORAL FESTIVAL was held in the parish church. and was largely attended by choirs of the union which embraces a large area. The large edifice was crowded aod the programme was satisfactorily rendered. Where, oh where are the Llandilo Sports ? Where, oh where can they be ?

GIRLS' FRIENDLY SCCIETY.- The annual festival of the Llardilo Branch of the G.F.S was held last Thursday (I lth inst). The girls assembled at the National Scluol and were met by Airs Thomas, Moreb, (the branch secretary) and a few of the sssociation. A short service was conducted in the Parish Church by the near (R?v Lewis Price) who delivered in appropriate address, basing his remarks on the latter portion of Romans xii. i "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies o God that ye psent your brdics a living sacrifice holy acceptable unto God which is your reisonable service." The remainder of the afternoon was spent at Tregib by the kind permission of Mr and Mrs J \V Gwynne-Hughes. The diy beautifully tine, tea was served to 91 girls and 8 associates on shady portions of the lawn, where seats, loungis, and rugs wui thoughtfully placed at the disposal of tie pbrty. Amuements of all kinds weie subsequently indulged HI, Mrs and the Misses Gwynne-Hughes taking an active part; but to Miss Lily Gwynne- Hughes the palm of the afternoon's pleasure is tl.ic.d-dly due. Into every game she threw herself with child-like í':fil and real pleasure, an I we have a suspicion that the girls romped more t.h.u u-ual on seeing the pleasure afforded the little daughter of their host and hostess. Mr Gwynne-Hughes, Mrs on I Colonel tiwya bused themselves with th? aquatic tendencies of the guests, many of whom indulged in a row on the Tregib pondj dmbtless f-jeling all the more heroic and venturesome with such aid at hand in case their inexperience might result in a dip. It should, however, be mentioned that not only were the grounds at the disposal of the party, but the residence itself was thrown open The general character of the man-sion, its beautiful furniture, and many works of art, greatly astonished and pleased the visitors. Liberal refreshments were again supplied, and a few Welsh hvmn6 sung, as the thides of eve' P.Cre falling Mrs Thomas, in the name of the associates aiid members, tharkfd the Tregib fam iI y b It few appropriate woidi for their mai.y kindnesses, eui 1 in particular for the most enjoy able alternion.

It is reported 3;)0 were on board. Two men were saved by fishermen. Two representatives of Donald Currie and Co. have left for Ushant. It is prcbable that the majority of the passengers were second and thi:d class. Captain Pearce's connection with the Castle is a long one, dating back from the time of the company's sailing ships.
