WATER SUPPLY. The Surveyor's report on the w^fcer supply stated tht athe water supply could be im- proved if the pressure was equaliseJ. It varied from 32 to [j9,;lbs in pressure. If equalised the upper part of the town would be improved. Valves for the purpose would cost about £ 16 each.—«In answep to Mr Biishop, the Surveyor said he would only put one at first to see its effect-lihere was a dialogue on the subject (between Mr Bishop and the Surveyor, but Mr Bishop was not at all satisfied.—The Surveyor said if they turned off the water entirely, as they did with the present system, one part of the town would stiffer.-I-n answer to the Chairman, the Surveyor said he had seen the, valves he recommended at work.

R. Davies Ibe- Ilie-ved it was the piipe6 were gone old. He was prepared to support the surveyor's sug- gest ion.—(Mr W. Jones thought the surveyor had 1 tetter take up some of the pipes first to see if they were corroded. He had been told that there were Ibiig lumps in some of the pipe^.—Mr J. Stephens agreed, as they knew how bard m-mter corTcdod the pipes.—Mr Evan Jones asked if cold water corroded like hot water.—Mr J. Stephens asked about the Brewery.)fr Evan Jones said there was no ta,lk of that.—Mr W. Hoplkihs asked if they could not regulate the pressure by sluices.— The Surveyor maintained it was not, as too much might 'be turned off.-The Chairman sugge;3ted that where there was a fall they might lessen, the bore of the p pes from three inches to one and a half.—The Clerk said the pipes would then be useless in time. Other questions were put to the Surveyor, but he cilumig to the use cf the va-rre. He would put the first valve in the moist import- ant place.- he Clerk said those valves had been placed in sgyem'l places for the Llan- debie water supply.—Mr J. Stephens moved the Surveyor Ibe instructed,ip examine some of the p:pes in Carmarthen street 'before taking any cither action.—Mr John Davies seconded.—Mr C. R. Davies moved as an amendment that the surveyor be instructed to pint a valve, and atoo raise the pipes.— Supt. Evains seconded.

Jones thought they should arrange with the band's first as to what their charges were going to Ibe.—Mr Roberts said the Sports Committee had held a meeting, and resolved to give the proceeds towards the stand. The Committee asked that the Park should be closed on the occasion of the sports.— Mr W. Hpplkin asked why delay. The band stand was essential.—Mr D.

Death of Mr. Bernard Rees, J.P., Llanelly. The death took place at Goring Villa, Llanelly, early on Tuesday morning of Mr Bernard R. Rees, J.P., one of the best knownl of LLanelly's sons, and a gentleman whose name was a familiar one all over the Prirtci- ,pality. Mr Rees, who celebiated his 75th birthday on Saturday, had been suffering from an affection of the heart for some time, and this took an aggravated form a week ago, the end comin.g peacefully. The deceased gentleman was the bearer of a great name—a name which was a house- holld word in WaJt-s a. generation a.go, his father being that doughty champion of Non- confomnty, the late Rev David Rees, Capel A Is. That eminent dilvine was one of the pioneers of Congregationalism in West VV ales, doing yeoman service to the cause both by J11;,g pen and his eloquent tongue. It was "Re t's, Capel Als," who did a further service to the denonrination-, when some 80 years ago lie established the two connexional magazines, "Y Diwy,giwrf' and "Tywysydd y Plant," Iboth of which are still flou rushing. The subject of our notice, as might have been expected of the son, of such a father, was an anient Congregationalist, and was primarily responsible for the founding of Park Church, whose pulpit has been served oy. a succession of dir,,biinguiisbed men in- cluding the Rev J. H. Lochore, the Rev R. A. Bertram (of the "Christian Age"), Prin- ) cipal E. Griffithi Jones, and the Rev H. Elvet Lewis. For over 50 years Mr Rees had occupied the posiÏltiÏQn of treasurer of Park Church, as well as being senior deacon, and it was a 'great blow to the Church when, owing to failing health, he had to relinquish the office which he had adorned for half a century. As the publisher of the con- nexional magazines, the subject of our notice was well known beyond the limits of his native town, and he grudlged neither time nor talent to serve the cause that was 80 dear to his heart. r ,^0:r,ma'ny y?ars occupied a seat on the Lilaneliy School Board, and as am enlightened educationist did much to seoure for the town an admirable lot of public schools. For many years he. acted as a goveinor of Cardiff tniversity College. He was also prominenit in the establishment of the Mechanics* Institute. which has now become the pubiio library of the towni. Any cause which made for the public weal found in him an enthu- siastic champion, a,nd, apart from this, his personal character was such as to make an inspiration and an example to those around him. Of him it may be truly said that he "wore the white flower of a blameless life." He was largely interested in, the commercial life of Llanelly, and was a director of the Llanelly Gias Company. In hiis younger days Mr Rees vwas a brilliant cricketer, and with half a dozen other enthusiasts was responsible for the establishment of the Llanelly Cricket Club, having as contemporaries sportsmen of the type of Sir John Llewelyn, Edwin Douglas, and Henry John Howell. Mr Rees acted as oaptaiim for several years, and subsequently was treasurer. Hiimself a brilliant "bat," he took a zia-ttiral pride in tho achievements of his sons. Mr Fred Rees and Mr Percy Rees in the cricket field. He often re-caHed the visit of the All England Eleven to Llanelly in 1877. They played against 22 of South' \Vai-.os onj the old park. The English team included the IjifllVwhites, Daft, and several other crack cricketers, the Welsh tm in. cluding Sir John. Llewelyn and hiimself. The funeral to-day (Friday), will be strictly private.

Floral Fete at Abergwili. BRILLIANT SCENE IN THE PALACE GROUNDS. On Thursday the 2nd inst., a brilliant function was held in the grounds of the Bishop's Palace, AbengwiJi. A bazaar is •held annually im St. David's diocese for the benefit of the vaicous diocesan charities, and is takeui in turn) by each archdeaconry. This year, when it tea to the turn of Gar- marthen, it was decided by the woikers that it should take the form of a "floral fete," and the idea was ibriilildaiiitly carried out. Thus the Carmarthen Deanery Stall was Ibeout.fully decorated with ivy; the Kidwelly Stiafl was tastefully arranged in roses of all hues; the Llaindilo Stall was nicely em- Ibowered in honeysuckle. Sweet Peas were prominent im the decoration of the Lllainga- dock Stelil; Marguerites formed the basis of the decorative schema in that cf Mrs Owen's Stall ] Iris and Snapdragon nicely set off the St. Clears Deanery Stall. The Carmarthen Town Stall was emlWbltished with shields dis- playing thcjarms of Carmarthen, St. Peter, and St. David, painted by Mr E. Collier. All these, together with the Sweet Stall, were arranged in a huge tent, 120ft. by 401.t., and under the almost tropical bliaze of the sun, a very gay spectacle was presented by the fashionable assembly from counity and town which foregathered in the midst of the mass of decoration.

Jenkins, M.A., Rev D. J. Jenkins, and and Mr Frank Morgan. The Ibazaar Was opened at noon by the B'i:ihop of Huron, who is at preseiift visiting the Kingdom connectioni with the Pan- Amglioan Congress. The Bishop oIf St. David's said that he desired to say on ibehallf of Mrs Owen how deeply she had fdlt the encouragement, and bow gratified she was at the extremely kimd response' given to her /by the ladies from the four deacomiries and from the town of Carmar then—and he ft bought he ought to add from the parish of Albelbrgwili. He thought that the ladies who took such very great trouble must have a very comlÎderaible amount of eatistfaction in seeing the resulit of their work in thee heautiful stalls weU furnished with .a1!ttt3ICt¡:we and useful article^. Hrs wife iboltonged to the class of sellers, and he wished to say a word to the Jladlesand gen- tleme.ni who were amongst the IbtlJers. He wished to encourage them in their good by mentioning that they had an eneouvage- menït to purchase lielt the attractiveness and variety and Ibeauty of the wares at the stalls around them. He thought that they would find another inducement to 'buy in the reasonableness of the prices as welJ as Ill, the persuasive powers of the ladies who presided at the stalls. They would find that not only would they tbe, given excellent value for their money, but that their money would go to the support of various excellent diocesan institutions. He had given particulars of these charities' to a very diisbimguiyned body —the Welsh Church Coin mission—of which the Archdeacom of Cannartlisn was a worthy representative there that day. He was very much impressed by the cowviciifeion of that Commission—of which he (wished to speak with ,re03pect-of the good work done by these societies, 'because they did jiot think that particulars a)bout them were necessary. They would fhlave every confidence in supporting a society like the Clergy Onplian Corporation the Diocesan House of Mercy, and last but not least, the Giris Friendly Society. He had much pleasure in calling upon his ibrother to the bazaar. The Bif-ihop of Huron said that he was ex- ceedingly glad' that he was aible to comply with the request of their beloved Bishop, and to heOp event Iby a word the good work in which' the heart of the Bishop of St. David's ^ias_the advan/cement oIf the kingdom of our Lord JC.ŒS Christ in the Principally of Wales When he came there he felt that he was only in the way, Iwit he derived some consolation from reflecting T^lcy J!leV who only ptanid -and wa:it," He felt cloned to say something about the laind he. had adbpted. He could not help noticing Y),a^ scarcely any cf the prcMbems whcli they had in Wales were the same as those ^h ch they had to solve ini Canada. In Canada they were trying fo fill up a Coiitinent a loyal nation. They Ihoped in ten. or twenty vears to have on. the North American con- tinent ten cr twenty millions of loyal Canadian people. They were suffering from irdhTstion. Tliey had a very great mixture of people coming into Canada. They had 62 different languages in the domintian or Oam,-uli. They e:rcu!a;<xl the Scmpture? in 62 lamguages. The hil ngual difnciumy of Vank into nothing thr-sde the prohrem of the amalgamation of there heterogenous imml'gran(ts into one loyal Canadian people. He only hoped that a sufficient number of tho best element in the Old Land would come out and hellp them ini rthe process of digest- ing theee clements, that are coming to Canada. In Canada they had practically to found a civiiv^ation. They had 3,000 or 4,000 ipeojple dumped on the prairie, witho-ut railway, churches, office, or aaiything els-e.

The jvpoblem with you is the problem of maiin- temaince. You have not to lace it as we have to if ace it. it is inot your privilege a3 it is tho privilege cf the people of Canada to sup- port your own olergy. Your- fathers and my iathcrs largely support the clergy of the pre- sodt day. In Canada, the -ving people sup- port the Itiving clergy. I cannot but thintk that i.;It would The a Meæing to the Church if a little more of that" were introduced into the Church in my native Ita,iid. I feel that that would Jbe am element of great strength. —The Bishop of Huron then, went on to say that he pieterred to cal it not the Church of England in Wales, )but the Church of Wales, because the British Church comtrilbuibted to the formation of the English Church. More tJHn bialt of England was Christianised by mijssionarieg from the Ancient British Church. iHe gave a wide meaning to the comma.ndment "Honour thy father and thy mother." He took it to meant that we should honour our ancestors. Wisdom would not die with us, a.nd it certainly was not born with us. We owe a great deal to our fore- fathers, and amongst ithe blessings which we owe to them is the Church. The institutions of a people are the dress in which the life of the people: has e-xperesSed itself, and our Church is the spiritual expression- of cen- turies of British Christianity; that in the long run must be the Church best suited to the genine of the British, people. Coming back to Wales after an absence of 20 years, I he not-iced one change-that there was an increase of English speaking. It might be that there was more Welsl^speaking as well; j.t might be that they were becoming more cultured, and a person who spoke two languages was mo.re cultured than a person. who spoke one. But if the time e came when they had to substitute English for Welsh iservicrs, he hoped they would pre- serve the oM Welsh tunes. Some one. had said, "Let me make songs for a people, and I care not who makes their laws." A good deal off Welsh sentiment had been preserved in yr lien a'anvon Cymreig. If they adopted English hymns, he hoped they would pre- serve the Welsh tunes. He congratulated Mrs Owen on. her success in 'bringing the clergy and the laity together which would, he (believed, promote esprit de corps. He had much pleasure in declaring the bazaar open for the spending of money. Mr Truibshaw proposed a vote of thanks to the- Bishop of Huron. This was 'seconded by the Veneralble Archdeacon Evans, and was carried unanimously.
