I&T Notes and News.
I& T Notes and News. The new King is a man of culture and of wide experience, and an orator of excep- tional ability. In London this week end Kings and Queens will be as common as ordinary citizens. It is a long time since we have had so great a number on our shores as were here on the present sad occasion. This has been a week of mourning in London, and business has been practically at a standstill. The general feeling has been that the King's funeral should have been arranged to take place on Tuesday last, and not on Friday. Parliament will not re-assemble until the second week in June, and the first duty to be attended to will be the Budget Bill for 1910-11. This will mean that the Veto Bill has had to be indefinitely postponed. As there will be no public festivities for some time, all the Continental Royal Person- ages will make but a brief stay in England at present. It is expected that most of them will be able to come next year to the Coronation ceremony, when entertainments on a lavish scale will be the order of the season. Wake up, England was the famous phrase uttered by King George on his return from an extensive Colonial tour some years since. As he had an excellent opportunity, when Prince, to become acquainted with most of our countries across the seas, he will be of valuable assistance to our future Colonial Secretaries. Biographies of the late King are being turned out by the dozens by various publishing houses. Many have already appeared in dainty little volumes, and a large fortnightly publication will shortly appear, which will attempt to portray his life story in some 1,000 illustrations and many thousand pages of descriptive matter. Some quaint Welsh inscriptions are to be tound occasionally on tombstones and mem- orials in English -churches. At Rochester Cathedral, for example, where a daughter of William Lewis Anwyl, of Bodalog, Merioneth, was buried in 1803, an inscription runs: Ni bydd dda gan Dduw ei didoli. Nev boed eiddi." The London Welsh Football Club an- nounces that on the 7th July a joint garden party between the. Welsh and the Heathfield Cricket Club will be held at Wandsworth when a good programme of sports, tennis, and bowls will be the attraction, to be fol- lowed in the evening by a concert, when several well-known artistes will appear, in- cluding the London Welsh Male Voice Party. A good band will be in attendance. The weather in Wales on Whit Monday was beautifully fine, with the exception of a few showers of rain that fell in some dis- tricts. The various health resorts were largely patronised, and there were big at- tendances at the Eisteddfodau. Of the latter the most important was that at Caerphilly. It is interesting to note that the 2nd Battalion Welsh Regiment will be on duty in London in mid-August. They will re- lieve the Foot Guards, who will be attending the Manceavres. It is many years since a Welsh regiment did duty in London, so that the present circumstance will be unusual. Yesterday (Friday), memorial services were held in practically every city and town in Wales, in common with the rest of the United Kingdom. A noteworthy feature was the co-operation of Anglicans and Noncon- formists in some of the places. In Carnar- von, for example, the Vicar was specially invited to take part in the service at Moriah Chapel, of which the Pastor is the Rev. Evan Jones. Mr. R. H. Williams, Local Government Board Inspector, expressed his surprise at a recent meeting of the Cardiff Board of Guardians that workhouse concerts had been so few in number lately, and as they tended to relieve the monotony of workhouse life, he urged the guardians to procure volun- teers who would be willing to give enter- tainments to the inmates, especially during the winter months. Mr. Williams's sugges- tion is worth the attention of every Board of Guardians. The Rev. Father Bernard Vaughan, the famous Roman Catholic Monk from London, visited Aberdare last week to open a bazaar, held under the auspices of the local Roman Catholic Church. Father Vaughan's visit occasioned much interest. His address was listened to with much attention, and he was accorded a vote of thanks on the proposition of a local Presbyterian gentleman, seconded by another gentleman, who is also a Presby- terian.
