I Abergwili Horlicultnral and Agricultural Society* SUCCESSFUL SFOYv" ON THE PALACE GROUNDS A highly i.'UO'Jossiuj snow was liekV fit ^cergwiii OG Thursday, August llth, on the grounds of the Palace. kiiidlv lent for the ooca-ion by tho Lord Bishop of St. David's. After being dead for some time --hmec1 by internal strifo and jealousy— this society has been successfully resussita- uteu, and now that that difficult feath.s.a been accomplished, it is to be hoped that hotter counsels will prevail, and that Ahergwili | show will continue in the future as it has dcxie in the past—to bo an eVUllt veil worth | looking forward to by the hoitiralturists of Carmarthen aud acighboxtrhood, k very commodious tent accommodated the exhibit of flowers, fruits, and vegetables, Bath in the cottagers and the open class, there was good competition for the prices oA'erod for window plauta. Fuchsias call for a special word of praise, as they were shown in a pleasing variety of colours, and the plants were wo vigorous and well, trained that many ul thorn bore thirty or forty healthy bloouix, Geraniums also funncd a good class, although a little moro vitrioly might have hcon usefully imported into the character oi t ;.j exhibits. Some of the other piauts shown, included a number of pretty flowering" begonias, and several specimens of tlfe same family, whoso rich, dark, variegated leaver formed a pleasing feature of the exhibits, and prove -their great capaoihtub i<¡0U cultivated solely as a foliage pIa. t. In some of the cut-flower classes there was a lamentable lack of competition. The cottagers' section showed so few exhibits in these that the first prize waa not awarded in many of the classes. A fine lot of dahlias and asters v. ere shown but for some of the other prizes offered tho competition was more or less nominal. There was not a single entry in what ought to have been a pretty section—that for eix varieties of roses. This is not by any means du6 to the fact that Ahergwili people do not cultivate roses, but is probably attributable to the circum- stances that they So not give sufficient attenhon to these pretty flowers to have varieties caPahle of showing good blooms in the autumn. "With the exception of the two classes of plutus aii(i ted currants, there was a pretty good show of fruit, although here again the cottagers' section was fcv^C!1 lOa evident.

Regatta at Ferryside. The annual regatta was held at Ferryside on Friday. The day was bright and warm, and a good breeze prevailed-so that circumstances combined for the success of tho event. Had it only been a little better advertised, and date fixed for one of the early-closing days in the neighbouring towns, a much larger attendance of spectators might have been anticipated. As it was, the event was witnessed from the sands by a goodly number of visiters, a large number uf pleasure boats cruising about in the bay at intervals between the various events added greatly to tho animation and general picturesque proceedings. It is to be hoped that the people of Ferryside will, for their own sake, do all in their power to extend and boom tho regatta, for it is only by having a few annual events of various kinds in a little seaside place liko this that its name can be kept before the public, and a constant stream of visitors during the season be assured. If Ferrysido does not learn to boom itself a little better, it will possibly have to take second place us compared with other resorts of the kind in South Wales, who are now advertising themselves for all they are worth. A slight but regrettable incident marked tho opening of tho regatta. The Ceres," belonging to Mr David Davies, Ferry side, was capsized by a gust of wind whilst being handled before the race started and as she was not righted for some hours, she was not able to compete in the open boat class, as was intended. The following is a list of the events :— YACHTS Dot exceeding 22 feet linear rating Y.H.A. rules and time allowances (excepting rules G and 10). The first prize, a challenge- cup, worth £ 7 (<0 be held one year, and to become the pro- poity of the holder if won twice in succeeeion) and fcl 2nd prize, E2. The competitors were:- I" Holly," Major Sir George Greavee, K.C.B. 1 "Elsie," Mr JSvan Jones, Ferryside 2 The course, which was six miles in length, was round the white barrel post, and then round a mark boat off St. Ishmaels Church-twice round. Both yachts raced well, but the Holly won easily. She came in ahout 11 minutes ahead of her rival it was nut therefore nectseary to make calculations for a time allowance, as in that way the Eisie would not have gained more than two and a half minute". OPEN BOATS not exceeding 20 feet extreme length. 30 seconds per foot allowed. Race confined to boats belonging inside the Carmarthen Bar. Prize, a challenge cup, presented by Mr A R Gery (to be held for one year, and tJ become the pro. perty of the holder, if won twice in succession), lld £ 2 2ndj L2; 3rd, £ 1 6.

The forcer was behind, but she seemed likely to win by time allowance, when AS she \a. rounding broke- her rudder and fouled the canitnittre boat. SI13 was therefore disabled, as well as disqualified. FJSHIXG- BOATS (Sailing) not txcredinj Hi teet 6 ins, Hilled by one mati only igt, £ 2, 2nd. £ 1, 3rd, 10s.

At the close of the proceedings the prizes were presented to the winners by Lady Morgan. Colonel Fry, in moving a vote of thanks to Lady Morgan, said he felt sure that the winners valued the prizes much more highly 011 account of their being presented by a lady (applause). He asked them one and all to give three hearty cheers for Lady Morgan. Redoubled cheers were heartily given on this invitation for her ladyship. Sir George Greaves returned the cup to the committee for future competition, although it had now become his absolute property, he having won it twice in succession.
