Farmers at Fishguard. • ANNUAL CATTLE SHOW. HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL FUNCTION. Conspicuous amongst the social events of the Fishguard, almanack ranks the annual vCattle Show promoted by the North Pem- brokeshire Farmers' Club, and this years function, which took place on Friday was attended with a measure of success which Inus," have been exceedingly gratifying to Mr v. n Jones, the enthusiastic president, and to Sir V J G Johns, the indefatigable secretary, as also to the assiduous band of officials by whom they were so ably assisted. The unfavourable climatic conditions which had prevailed on the preceding day afforded a somewhat inauspicious augury, and, although the eventful day dawned tine, a dense pall of Ntfouds prolongued the apprehension for some houre Towards noon, however, a stiff breeze dispelled the threatening vapour, and ideal summer weather graced the remainder of the proceedings. i" From an yearly hour visitors poured into the town b .h by rail and by road, and throug' the day and far into the night the quaan, winding thoroughfares ^vei^ i' crowded to an extent calculated to arouse the ire of the casual cyclist or motorist, whilst caterers both for man and beast found their rescources taxed to their utmost capacity. THE EXHIBITS. I Viewed in every aspect, the show was v certainly the best which has yet been held in b the Maesgwynne Field. There have, Pe' ^ps, been previous shows 111 which certain cuam pion animals have stood forth more prom- inentlw but, taking the exhibits as a whoje, tlu?re 'was not a single weak class, AU the animals were even, and lit—did the exhibitors so choose—to go fuither alield and to com- pete elsewhere. One striking feature was the great improve- ment in cart horses, which certainly con- stituted a greater advancement than was indicated in any other class. It would be invidious to particularise where all were good but the exhibits of Mr Wynford Philipps, M.P, deserve special mention, as also do those in the two-Nlear-old class, in which Mr Griffiths, of Rickeston Hall, took the first and second honours. The yearlings were also a useful lot, as were also the cart foals. A dozen cart teams faced the judge, and although his task was a difficult one, it seemed to be generally agreed that Mr Yorke deserved the card awarded to him. The whole class was excellent and won high praise from the judge, the teams being cer- tainly the best which have been shown in North Pembrokeshire. Black cattle were, as usual, good all round, shorthorns were also strong--in fact, to a certain extent they got the better of the blacks, the prizes for the best heifer in the yard being awarded to a lovely shorthorn, the property of Mr Marsden, whilst for the best j cow in the yard the two classes divided the i honours, the prize being split between the shorthorn exhibited by Mr V J G Johns and. Mr W H Evans' black beast. Hunters in the young class, though good in quality, were few in number, but of the age of four years old and upwards there was a good display. Hackneys were, as usual, strong, and some very good ones were shown. The sheep were an even lot, but the com- petition was confined to a few of the usual exhibitors, the ordinary farmer being afraid to enter. Pigs were few in number. The butter staged was good all-round, Miss F Lewis, of Hanton, a well-known prize- winner, being the most successful. The jumping, which aroused a marked degree of interest, was decidedly good in character, poor animals being conspicuously absent from the entries. Horses in harness were a strong class, and evoked great admiration as they drove round in their smart turn-outs. It is generally agreed that the show is in every way continuing to make steady pro- gress. The members of the club are quick to study 1ie interests of the public, and the innov« Son furnished by the erectiog of a grand stand from which to observe the jumping competitions evoked appreciative comment in all quarters. The gate," which. fu upwards., of [100, is the highest on record with the single exception of that for the preceeding year, and, but for the threatening aspect of the weather in the early morning, there is every reason to believe that a new record might have been established. The judges were Black cattle, R Thomas, Esq, Great Pale, J Scourfield, Esq, Blaen- wernddu cattle of any other pure breed, R j Galbraeth, Esq, Home Farm, Margam cart horses, M Jones, Esq, Delbrwystual, Shrews- bury hunters, Leslie McCarty, Esq, Holly- mount, Co.Wexford butler. T- Lloyd, Esq, Aberdare. PRIZE LIST. p,oci-w -,aywn our columns precludes the insertion of purely commendatory awards, which were gratifymgly numerous.

I THE LUNCHEON. Early in the afternoon a recherche repast was served in a spacious marguee, the cater- ing of Miss Rees, of the Commercial Hotel, giving entire satisfactton. Mr E D Jones, who presided over a goodly assemblage, was supported by Sir Marteine and Lady Lloyd, and by gentlemen prominently identified to the function. The customary loyal toast having been honoured. I irn-iari proposed that of the North Pembrokesmio-Carmers' Club, which had, he said, been established about thirty years ago, and'was yearly growing more flourishing and increasing in prosperity. He hoped that that state of affairs would continue for many years. That show was always looked upon as one of the best feeders to the United Coun- ties Show at Carmarthen, and the animal who took a first prize at Fishguard was generally successful at Carmarthen. He thought that was a great thing to say for the Pembrokeshire Farmers Club. (Hear, hear). He coupled with the toast the names of Messrs J C Yorke, and D H Perkins. The former gentleman, in responding, referred feelingly to the great loss which the Club had sustained during the past year through the death of Mr John Worthington, and to the fears which had been expressed that the absence of that gentleman's support would leave them crippled. From what, he had seen in the show yard that day he was, however, quite satisfied that—despite the loss which they all so deeply regretted—the show was holding its own. He was quite certain that so long as their present chairman and secretary held office, that state of affairs was likely to continue, and no one-would be more pleased than himself that such should be the case (applause). Mr Perkins, who was with difficulty in- duced to supplement the response, contented himself by remarking, amidst laughter, that he had very great pleasure indeed in endors- ing all that Mr Yorke had said. The Chairman, in submitting the health of the Judges, said it was unneccessary to him to dilate upon the subject, for all knew what a great attribute to such shows judges were. Shows of that kind would never cease to flour- isli-so long as the class of men which they had there that day was available from the country and the surrounding neighbourhood. It had always been the custom on that occa- sion to reguest a word from each of the judges, and that custom was a useful one, for the impression which a show made upon the judges was the measure which showed its suc- cess (applause). Mr R Thomas (Great Pale), who was first to respond, expressed the pleasure which it had afforded him to judge the black cattle, which he regarded as the best cattle for the market for beef (hear, hear). They were, he said, in excellent condition, but had not been pampered, and were fit to go anywhere. After emphasising the desirability of breeding and feeding good cattle for the butcher, he closed by voicing the hope that the show would be attended by every success (applause). Mr J Scourfield (Blaernwernddu) said he had been there on several previous occasions and always looked back upon them with pleasure. "He had many friends amongst that gathering, but the judges adjudicated upon the animals and not upon the men (hear, hear). It was perhaps better to have an entire stranger for the position, if they could get him, but he could assure them that he was not afraid to face anybody. They, as judges, had done what they had thought to be right, and if an animal had belonged to the King or the Queen, it would have made no difference to their awards (hear, hear). Since they had asked them to come they ought to abide peacefully bv their decisions! He could say that the show was not going backwards—he considered it to be the most even which he had ever seen. There might, in former years, have been more outstanding winners in some classes, but taking them all round, they were excellent stock, taken from the grass and not pampered. InJjNorth Pem- brokeshire, the land was, of course very good, and the cattle needed no feeding (laughter). He expressed his satisfaction with the classes generally, and stated that although he and his colleague had not always been able to ■entirely agree, they had only in one case had to obtain the judgement of a third man. In conclusion he pointed out the desirability of adopting the rule enforced in most other shows of compelling every animal to be led. Seventeen or twenty heifers who would not stand still, were not, he said, calculated to assist the judges in the discharge of their duties. Mr M Jones (Delbrwystual, Shrewsbury) said that this was first occasion on which he had had an opportunity of judging horses in Pembrokeshire, and he was very pleased to be able to state that they were very much better than he had expected to find them, and that it had been a very difficult job to decide —he could hardly please himself. A good many of the entries were fit to go into any show (hear, hear). Mr R Galbiaeth (Home Farm, Margam) said there was some very good stock in the locality, and its owners need not be afraid to take it to any show in the county. He had had a little difficulty in making awards in one or two cases, but he hoped that he had given satisfaction to everybody (hear, hear). Mr T Lloyd (Aberdare) voiced the pleasure which he had derived from that—his first- visit, and humorously remarked that, if it were an honour to judge the black cattle, what must it be to judge the: ladies' produce — the butter, etc (laughter) ? He had endeav- oured to do his very best and it was a treat to see the ladies smiling all over their faces. He had brought a stick to keep them away, but had not needed it (Laughter). Many had said that the season had been a bad one for the farmer, but he did not think that either the time or the season was bad. Most of the butter had been exceedingly good, and the farmers were all good (laughter). Referring to the excellence of the butter he expressed regret that it could not be regularly obtained in Glamorganshire. The cheese, he continued, was not so good, but the eggs were excellent, fine in colour, large in size, and fresh. Mr Leslie McCarthy (Holly Mount, County Wexford) who also responded, was inaudible throughout practically the whole of his re- marks. He was, however, understood to say that the entries in the hunter class were very fair, and to state that he would be very pleas- ed to do anything which he could in an advi- sory capacity, but that he could not make a speech. Mr Yorke, in the unavoidable absence of Mr George Bowen, proposed the toast of their President, and said they welcomed him most heartily. He was, the speaker believed, quite the best and most liberal supporter of whom the Club could boast (hear, hear). That was very valuable, but his presence and the inter- est which he showed in the Club was even more so (hear, hear). He hoped some day to see that he had taken up one or other of the farms which he owned and was seeing what he could do with it himself. He fancied that with his business and general ability he would, if he adopted that course, soon give theme on- siderable difficulty in beating him. The toast was drunk with musical honours, followed by cheers-for the President and Mrs Jones. The Chairman, in responding, after express- ing appreciation at the mariner in which the toast had been honoured, said he was always very glad to do anything which he could in his modest way to support the show. Al- though he was not a practical agriculturist, he might perhaps, as had been suggested, some day try to become one (hear, hear). Proceeding, he proposed the health of the Secretary, which he characterised as being a toast of considerably more importance than the one which had just been drank (hear, hear and applause). The whole centre of organisa- tion, in a show such as that, was, he said, in the Secretary, and it was due to him almost entirely—at any rate to a very large extent— that the show had, during the last two years been so successful, not only in the matter of entries, but from a financial point of view, and the very active and industrious manner in which he looked after the interests of the show was deserving of the very highest com- mendation. They all knew him, they all knew what a good man he was, and what a good stock he came from. The toast was drunk amidst cheers. Mr V J G Johns, in acknowledging the honour, said he could but thank the Chair- man for his kind words he would always do the best that he could, as a Fishguardian, for the success of the North Pembrokeshire Farmers' Club. The gathering then dispersed. —o— HICH-CLASS CONCERT. — ft;' (he 't, UUu<iig tugtt ulu.j.j—vocal and. instrumental programme was submitted to a crowded auditory assembled in the Temper- ance Hall, which had been tastefully decorated for the occasion, ferns, palms, flags and bunting combining to produce an exceedingly effective ensemble. Miss Phyllis Carey (Fishguard) opened the programme with a violin solo Concert Muzurka," her execution being characterised by precision and delicacy of touch. For a subsequent item, a sprightly Romance in G,' she received a merited encore. The fine tenor voice of Mr Llew Jones (Aberdare) was heard to decided advantage in Watch with me, now, to-night," and How vain is man for each of which he was enthusiastically encored, substituting in the former instance Llwybr yr Wyddfa," and in the latter bowing his acknowledgments. Miss Katie Phillips, (Swansea) contributed River of Years," and Alone on the Raft," her powerful contralto voice doing ample justice to the numbers, as also to On the Zuyder Zee," which she gave in response to one of the two recalls which her efforts evoked. Mr Emlyn Davies (baritone, London) rendered "The Bugler," with such pathetic realism that the auditory declined to accept his bowed acknowledge- ments, and he was compelled to respond with Say Halloa^" a quaint item of a totally different character. At a subsequent stage he contributed" The Lowland Sea," "Mentra Gwen" following in response to an encore. Miss Amy Evans, soprano, London, gave a charming .rendering of Mendelssohn's diffi- cult song Hear ye Israel," for which she was deservedly recalled, and displayed her verstaility by contributing I wish I were a tiny, brownie bird." In the second porton of the programme she rendered Llacesaur Eryri" under conditions which reflected the highest possible credit. Messrs Jones and Davies were heard to advantage in The Ballad Singers," being compelled to repeat the chorus in response to the demands of the audience. La ci Darem was ably sung by Miss Evans and Mr Davies, an unani- mous demand for a repetition being responded to with I would, and yet I would not." Miss Evans also rendered Love's Coronation," Miss Carey contributing a violin obiigato. The programme was brought to a the singing by the united artistes of The Sea hath its Pearls," followed by the National Anthem. The various duties of accompanist were efficiently discharged by Mr Carey, of local fame. During the proceedings a small section of the auditory persisted in rendering hself obnoxious to the great bulk of those present. On several occasions the Aitistes had to appeal for order, whilst Miss Evans left the platform as a protest against the conduct of some of the occupants of the front seats. Ultimately, however, she was induced to return, and harmony again prevailed where discord had appeared on the verge of triumph, her rendering being most enthusiastically applauded. We are informed that the whole of the arrangements for the evening's entertainment were effected by Mr Anthony, who was, how- ever, unfortunately unable to be present. Certainly the greatest credit is due to him for the excellence of the programme provided. In his unavoidable absence, the stage man- agement was in the capable hands of Mr George Bennett.
Fatal Accident at Mathry.
Fatal Accident at Mathry. The district coroner, Mr Ivor Evans, held an inquest at Carnachenlwyd Farm, Mathry, on Monday morning into the circumstances attending tne death of Eli Morris Rees, the three years and ten months old son of Mr v. Morris Rees, farmer. From evidence given by the father of deceased and by George Griffiths, a farm labourer in his employ, it appeared that about 6 o'clock on the evening of Wednesday week, the latter was sent by the former to loosen the lever of a hay- pitcher and to shift it over to a tree. He loosened it, and did not intend to let it go but was unable to hold it until Mr Rees arrived, with the result that it fell on deceased inflict- ing fatal injuries. The jury returned a verdict to the effect that death resulted from an accident.

The pony attachen to a trap belonging to Mr William Harries bolted down the hill from Temple Bar and, at the steepest portion of the incline collided with a waggon belonging to Mr Brown, grocer, of Newport. The trap, which was without an occupant, was smashed to pieces. GROWING POPULARITY.—The ever growing popularity of the town as a health resort is evinced by the fact that, during the past week, hundreds of visitors have spent their holidays here, the scenic and other attractions being appreciated to the fullest extent. ST. MARY'S CHURCH SUNDAY SCHOOL.— Wednesday was the date fixed for the annual visit of the scholars of this iustitution to the sands. PRESENT FOR PULPIT.-His Worship the Mayor (Captain Matthias) has presented to the Parish Church a Welsh-English Bible for use in the pulpit.

Otter Hunt.An otter hunt took place on Wednesday of last week, the meet being at Llwyngwair Lodge, and the hounds engaged being the pack belonging to Mr Pretheroe, of Dolwyrym. The route followed extended as far as Crosswell, the river being worked for a distance of about severn miles, and a large crowd followed the hounds. Only one otter was disturbed, the event of the day taking place in the vicinity of Velindre. The otter, which weighed some 25 pounds was killed immediately, without any chase. Mr J B Morgan, retired chemist, followed the hunt the whole of the way and, despite his advanc- ing years, succeeded in being present at the • kill." Fashionable Ball.—Llwyngwair Lodge was, on Friday night, the scene of a fashion- able ball. There was a large gathering of the elite of the district, many of whom came in motor-cars. EMIGRANT. Yesterday (Wednesday) Mr James, Brithgir, left for Liverpool, en route for the United States, from where he will sail on the s.s. Arabic," of the White Star line, this (Thursday) afternoon.

Garden Fete.—A report of this function at Llwyngwair will be found in another column. Negligent Parent. At Cemmaes Petty Sessions held at Eglwyswrw, before Messrs 1 Corby and D J Edwards, on Tuesday, Mr W D Lewis, school-attendance officer for the Newport district, summoned Thomas James, of Summer Hill, Newport, for having failed to keep his sons in regular attendance at school. The boys in respect of whom the proceedings were taken were William James, and John James, and their respective ages were thirteen years and nine years. After hearing the evidence the Bench imposed a fine of 5s without costs in respect of each child, and intimatedthat unless the atten- dance of William improved he would be sent to an industrial school. Forthcoming Marriage.—A marriage has been arranged between Fred E Withington, of Fringford Lodge, Bicester, and Nesta, eldest daughter of Sir Marteine Lloyd, Bart., and Lady Lloyd, of Bronwydd, Cardiganshire, and Newport Castle, Pembrokeshire. Veteran's Visit.—The ancient borough of Newport was one of the haltirigptates select- ed by General Booth during his tour in the Principality last week. The motor cavalcade with the veteran in his now-historic white ear arrived shortly before seven o'clock in the Square, were a huge crowd had assembled, and had whiled away the waiting moments by singing a hymn which had been given out by the Rector. Simultaneously a collection in aid of the Army funds was takeirup, the sum of £ 6 being realised in an exceedingly brief space of time. The General was met by the Mayor (Capt. Mathias) in his robes of office, who was accompanied by the burgesses of borough. Mounting the car his worship read an address of welcome, after which he introduced Sir Marteine Lloyd, in his capacity as Lord Marshal of the Barony of Cemmaes. Subsequently the General addressed the assemblage for upwards of a quarter an hour, his eloquent phrases being listened to with the most profound attention. Hay- Harvest.—Owing to the severe weather which continues to prevail intermittently a considerable quantity of hay in the vicinity remains ungathered. Success.—Mr. T. B. Reynolds and staff, of the Newport County School, deserve the high- est credit for the excellent result attained by four of the pupils of the School at the Schol- arship Examination held at Fishguard recently, a report of which will be found in another column.

Sweeny, South Leys starter; Mr. Jack Howell, Trewellwell; clerk of the course, Mr. John Williams, Tan- yrallt, who with Mr G. H. Lloyd, (The Phar- macy), also did duty as handicapper.

Two parties competed, viz., Mr T Griffiths' (Solva) party, and Mr D J Richards' (Letterston) party. The competition was a keen one and resulted in the prize being divided. The adjudicators were Messrs D D Evans, L.T.S.C., Solva, and Mr John Harries, Narberth.—J.n the evening, a capital concert was held in the Schoolroom, which was crowded. The artistes taking part "were Madame Lal Price-Griffiths, of the Royal Welsh Ladies Choir; Mr and Mrs Brenig Jones, Martletwy and Mr John Brazell, the duties of accompanist being efficiently performed by Mr John Harries, of Narberth.—All concerned, particularly the joint secretaries (Messrs J J Jenkins and G B Harries) deserve the highest credit for the excellent results of the day's proceedings.

DINAS CROSS.
DINAS CROSS. Tabor Chapel.—Three meetings were held at this place of worship on Sunday by stud- ents from the Preparatory School at Carmar- then, the participants being Messrs Lewis, Login R Howells, Caersalem Johns, Blaenffos and Edwards, Parkyllyn, Fish- guard. The morning service was introduced by Mr Edwards, impressive sermons being de- livered by Messrs Lewis and Howells. In the afternoon Mr Howells introduced the service, the preachers being Messrs Lewis and Johns. At the evening service the introduction was performed by Mr Lewis, sermons being preached, in English by"fr Edwards, and in Welsh by Messrs Howells and Johns. Col- lections were taken at each of the services in aid of the students. During the week the bi-monthly meetings in connection with the Baptist Churches of North Pembrokeshire have been held. On Tuesday evening the Rev J LI Morris, Jabez, and the Rev Jones, of New Quay, delivered eloquent discourses, whilst yesterday (Wednesday) morning a ser- mon on a chosen subject was preached by the Rev George Hughes, of Cardigan. In the afternoon addresses on chosen subjects were de- livered by different individuals. Lucky Limerickers "—The Limerick craze has caught on" in Dinas, several prizes having been secured by residents, among the successful competitors being no less a person than the esteemed Rector. Spoiling the Egyptians."—At the garden fete held in the grounds of Llw/gwain Lodge, Newport, last week, the Rector of Dinas was succesful in winning a silver tea set, valued I at six guineas, in a half-crown raffle. Nautical Note.—Capt Owen Jenkins on Saturday left home for Greenock, where he will join the new steamer Dunmore," belonging to the Campbell Line. Veteran's Visit.—Dinas was honoured last week, inasmuch as it was one of the few intermediate points at which the veteran founder of the Salvation Army consented to break his motor tour through the Principality. The General was met, on his arrival, by the Rector, and the Revs. J. W Maurice, Jones, (London) and T. Evans (Pontsbury), the latter of whom terminateda brief visit on the follow- ing Saturday. The General delivered a brief address to an appreciative gathering, and offered up a fervent prayer. A Welsh member of his entourage addressed the assemblage in the vernacular. Emigrant. Yesterday (Wednesday), Mr David George left the village for Liverpool, whence he will sail to-day (Thursday) on the White Star Liner "Arabic" for the United States. Mr George has already four brothers resident in the States, and as a thorough competent agriculturist, there is every reason to believe that he will progress in his new sphere of labour. Open-Air Service. On Sunday evening service was held in God's acre adjoining the old Church at Cwmyregllys. A large concourse of worshippers attended, and a most interesting sermon was delivered by the Rector. The Season.—The influx of visitors. shows no signs of abatement, and although many have returned home benefited in health by their sojourn in so bracing a locality, fresh arrivals maintain the ranks of the" surplus population at their full strength, the actual figures being far in excess of those of any previous year. Mr. and Mrs. Rees, from the Bungalow, returned home on Monday, whilst Misses Thomas and Roberts have also left. Mr Nicholas has returned to London, and Mrs. and the Misses Chegwidden, for Swansea, after spending a most enjoyable fortnight in this pleasant locality. Amongst the new arrivals, mention may be made of Mr. Mrs. Rees, from Pontycymmer, who are staying with their son-in-law and daughter (Mr. and Mrs E. Davies), at Castle Green. Mr. Griffiths has been ailing for some time, and it is hoped that the ehange of air and scenery will greatly benefit his health. Mr. Parry, schoolmaster, of Ruabon, North Wales, has returned home after spending a most enjoyable vacation with his relations at Brynhenllan. Other arrivals during the past week include Dr. and Mrs. Neish, Cardiff, who are staying at their residence at Penrhiw; Mr. Thompson and family, of Cardiff, who are stopping at Bryny- mor, and die Rev. T. S. Jones and family, of London, who have taken up their residence at Tyllwyd. Sports.—We would remind our readers of the sports to be held to-morrow (Friday) at Pwllgwaelod, weather permitting, to com- mence at 2 p.m. The entries already received give promise of a very successful gathering.— In the evening a grand concert will be held in the schoolroom in which several well- known vocalists will take part.
Garden Fete at Llwyngwair.
Garden Fete at Llwyngwair. A FASHIONABLE FUNCTION Despite the somewhat unpropetious state of the weather, the garden fete promoted in aid of the funds for the restoration of Nevern Church and for the foundation of a reading-room prov- ed to be an unqualified success, and the pictur- esque grounds of Llwyngwair Lodge, kindly lent for the occasion, presented a scene of mark- ed animation. Large numbers of visitors flock- ed into the town from the surrounding area, and it is anticipated that the net proceedings will amount to the highly credible figure of close upon £50. No pains had been spared to render the function an attractive one, and a willing band of enthusiastic workers laboured assiduonsly to promote its success. The Rector of Meline (Rev T M James) form- ed an ideal curator for a mock art gallery, which was exceedingly well patronized, whilst Mr Kernes Lloyd (of the Castle), ably assisted by a modestly-anonymous gentleman, did a roaring trade with an Aunt Sally." Miss Tolle- mache;proved an attractive gipsy, and many were the palms which she was, for a considera- tion," called upon to scan. Mr Ward, the genial schoolmaster from the adjoining village of Nevern, was in charge of a highly successful fruit-stall. At one period of the day trade at this emporium was phenomenally brisk. For the al fresco tea, which was partaken of by many, the arrangements were in the capable. hands of the Mayoress (Mrs Mathias of Parrog), Mrs Brown (Berry Hill), Mrs Phillips (Newport Rectory); and Mrs E Bowen of the Mansion ably presided over a fancy stall, whilst Miss Joan Bowen superintended a bran tub. Hat-trimming competitions for gentlemen, which aroused considerable amusement, were organised by Mr J B Bevan and Miss Violet Bevan. Other amusements* embraced egg and spoon races, raffles--in which .the Rector of Dinas was particularly successfuf-and concerts at which the Newport Ladies Choir, under the capable baton of Mr H R Felix, acquitted it- self with its accustomed brilliancy. Dancing on the lawn to the strains of the Newcastle Emlyn Brass Band, which provided an excellent programme, brought an exception- ally pleasipg function to a successful close.
Eglwyswrw Petty Sessions
Eglwyswrw Petty Sessions These sessions were held at the Court House, Eglwyswrw, on Tuesday morning, the adjudicating magistrates being Messrs T Colby and D J Edwards. Supt Brinn, of Fishguard, was present, and prosecuted ki a number of the cases. ASS ASTRAY. Constable Lewis summoned David Thomas Cummings, of St. Dogmaels, for having per- mitted an ass to stray on the highway on the 1st ult. Defendant, who did not appear was fined is with 4s costs. PUGILISTIC BACCHANALIANS, Frederick James and David Lloyd, of St Dogmaels, were summoned for having been guilty of drunkenness on the 13th ult. Constable Lewis stated that he found the defendants lying down in the street, assisted them on their feet, and accompanied them home. On the way, defendants became very disorderly, and commenced to fight with-each other. He stopped them several times with tke result that they expressed a desire to try conclusions with him, and struck him several blows. Eventually, with a considerable amount of trouble he took them both home. Defendants were each fined 3s 6d with 6s 6d costs. CARELESS GIPSY. Constable Davies, stationed at Boncath, summoned William James, a travelling gipsy, for having permitted three horses to stray on the public highway at Eglwyswrw, on the 23rd ult. A fine of 2s in respect ol each animal, with 4s costs, was imposed. STUGGLE WITH A CONSTABLE. Evan Parry Jones, of St Dogmaels, was summoned for having behaved ui a dis- orderly manner whilst drunk in that town on the 3rd inst. Constable Lewis said defendant had his coat off and wanted to fight with him. Wit- ness had to close with him and found it necessary to obtain assistance in order to take him home. Defendant was mulcted in a fine of 3s 6d with 6s 6d costs. OTHER CASES.

There is a probability that Parliament will not be prorogued until the last day of the month. The Bishop of London, referring to the Welsh Church has declared, We will not see you disinherited." Mr Evan Roberts is reported to be con- valescent and expecting to recommence work as a revivalist next month. The County Council is seriously consider- ing the question of re-afforestation-one of the most vital problems with which the twentieth century is faced. The threatened appeal in the Goodwick Common dispute not having been lodged within the statutory period, the magisterial decision has become absolute. Local mariners will be interested to learn that negotiations relative to the Plimsoll Line at present in progress are likely to lead to an adoption by Germany of the British l system of measurement. It is understood that an interim report will shortly be issued by the Welsh Church Com- mission. The Dailv News' prophesies that a Disestablishment Bill for the Principality will be included in the ministerial programme for 1909. If one of the judges at Fishguard Cattle Show is to be taken seriously, a fine opening offers for an enterprising farmer to export Pembrokeshire butter for consumption by the benighted inhabitants of the wilds of Glamorganshire General Booth has, at the close of his Welsh tour, issued through the medium of the "South Wales Daily News," the following message to the Principality :—" Let every man and women possessed of the spirit of Jesus Christ fight as never before for the Salvation of Wales.—WILLIAM BOOTH.— August 12, 1907." The Baptist Church at Broad Haven, of which Mr Gwilym Davies, B.A. is the minister, has struck out a line for itself. An annual flower show is held under the direct auspices of the church, open to all farmers and cottagers in nine surrounding parishes. Something between £23 and £25 will be handed over to the treasurer of the church as a result of the day's work. A leader-writer on the staff of the South Wales Daily News sapiently observes -apro- pos of the Esperanto Congress—that English will carry you anywhere." It is to be hoped, for the sake of his own peace of mind, that he will never have occasion to visit certain por- tions of North Holland, Normandy, Brittany — and even North Wales—with which we are familiar Two Newport gentlemen who visited Fish- guard on Wednesday week delayed their return in order to listen to General Booth. Trusting themselves to a donkey cart, they made but slow progress in a deluge of rain and were at last compelled to awaken a compassionate licensed victualler and induce him to take charge of their refractory steed and the conveyance. Ultimately they reached home, footsore and wet—but they had seen and heard the "General We are informed that the present danger- boards on hills in the vicinity of Fishguard will shortly be replaced by new ones. In view of their dilapidated and illegible state it is to be trusted that the work will be promptly effected, as the existing state of affairs places a grave moral responsibily upon the local authorities, in view of the large number of holiday-making cyclists — strangers to the locality—who are at present sojourning in the county. Mr Richard Bell, M.P., general secretary of the Railway Workers' Trade Union has informed the press that no formal step in the matter of the threatened strike can by taken until after the next meeting of the executive of the Union which is to be held a month hence. Meantime the workmen's representatives declare that their movement is gaining-strength every day. They add an expression of their belief that although the machinery of the Railway Assdkiation was not directly employed with reference to the present agitation, the various railway com- panies have nevertheless been acting in con- cert, and that the purport of the replies of the respective chairman was arranged at a previous confidential conference of represen- tatives of the companies.

FISHGUARD BAY REGATTA AND…
FISHGUARD BAY REGATTA AND CONCERT. The annual Fishguard Bay Regatta will take place next Wednesday and, given fine weather, should prove one of the most suc- cessful that has yet been held. The events will be of a highly-diversified character, and bid fair to furnish an extremely interesting programme. Conspicuous amonst the natatory events is a thousand-yards return race for men for which a large number of really first-class swimmers have entered. We understand that a number of young men in the Lower Town have imported a new gig, which arrived by rail on Monday, with the object of trying conclusions with the corresponding craft belonging to their neighbours at the summit of the hill. The regatta will be' followed by a high class concert in the Temperance Hall. Mr J C Yorke, J.P., will preside, and the artistes will include such eminent vocalists a: Madame Griffiths- Benjamin of London, (soprano), Miss Hilda Evans, of the Royal Welsh Ladies Choir (contralto), Mr Harold Green, of London, (tenor), Mr Shadwell Dobbs, of the Good- willie singers and Exeter Cathedral (bass), and the renowned society entertainer, Mr Martyn Rose, of London. The accompani- ments will be in the hands of Mr 1 H Carey, A. Mus., T.C.L. A better programme of high class music than that in preparation for this concert has never before been presented to a Fishguard audience.Tickets are now on sale and should be purchased early.

c LETTERSTON.
c LETTERSTON. Death.—A sad death took place on Satur- day last at Rhewig Moor, when the three- year-old daughter of Mr and Mrs Tom Price passed away very suddenly. It appears that the little child was quite well on the previous day, but had indulged rather freely in eating fruit from the garden, with the result that she was taken ill, and in spite of every effort, deatli supervened.—The funeral took place yesterday (Wednesday) at Saron Burying- ground, the being largely attended by relatives and sympathisers. On Saturday last, whilst Mr Holtham, of Pontreteva, Jordanston, was attending the Letterston Sports, lie left his horse at a farm- stead near by, and, it appears, tied it in the stable in the usual way by placing a rope around its neck. Apparently, Mr Holtham did not notice, while doing so, that the cord had a slipping knot, and just as he was re- turning from the sports he found that the rope had slipped quite tight around the horse's neck, and that the animal, which was a valuable one, had been strangled. Flower Show.—The annual Flower Show and concert take place at Letterston on Mon- day .next (fair day). The entries are as numerous as ever, while the standard of the exhibits is likely to equal, if not surpass, that of previous years, notwithstanding the unusually wet season experienced.—For the evening concert, a number of excellent vocal- ists have been engaged and a musical treat is promised those who will attend.—Among those to take part will be the young Glam- organshire vocalist who carried off the prize in the juvenile competition at Hermon Eisteddfod, Fishguard, and other prize-winn- ing soloists.—Tickets are now on sale. Musical.—The friends at Saron are to be congratulated upon the excellent arrange- ments made for the reception of this year's Cymanfa Ganu," among these being the introduction of a richly-toned harmonium, which had a double effect--that of bettering the singing as well as creating a longing in the hearts of some of the Saronites to have an instrument of the kind for use in the chapel regularly. So keen were some of them on this point that a strike was humourously suggested against removing the borrowed instrument from the chapel, and a show of hands was taken in favour of retaining it, but in this way they were unwittingly led to press in the thin end of the wedge towards securing a new instrument. A capital idea But it would be just as well to go a step further and go in for a new up-to-date pipe organ. Mr A Carnegie has lately presented several, and might advantageously be approached. The Pendre Cycle Works could supply the motive power. Cycling.—At the sports on Saturday last riders of the Runaway Cycles carried off the prizes offered in the two local as well as in the open races. Draw. draw for a motor cycle took place at the Schoolroom, Letterston, on Mon- day evening last, in the presence of a large number of ticket-holders. The winning num- ber was 828, the holder being Mr B Jenkins, Soar, Clynderwen.
