Notes and News. The Llandrindod District Council is a, very go-ahead body, as the improvements at this beautiful Spa testify. They can do some smart advertising, too. Madame Patti has promised to sing in aid of the Cardiff Infirmary. Cardiff and Glamorgan people are delighted. The Monmouthshire Education Authority have just decided to apply to the Local Government Board for a loan of t,47,000 for the new training college to be erected at Caerleon. To say the least, Caerleon is a curious place to select as the locale of such an im- portant college, and the Board of Education seem to have a very hazy conception of the geographical position of Wales and Mon- mouthshire in 'fixing upon this out-of-the-way village. From an historical point of view, Caerleon is a very important place, but on the ground of convenience and getatableness it leaves much to be desired. The Welsh seaside resorts are "filling up." Aberystwyth and Llandudno are particu- larly full, and record crowds are expected next week. Now that the English channel has been "flown over," the aviator will next turn to Wales and attempt to fly from Fishguard to Ireland. This is quite a possibility of the near future. Without a doubt Swansea has the finest market in Wales. The market buildings are larger and more spacious than any others in the Principality, and the scene on Satur- days is particularly animated. Whilst Welsh speaking is on the decrease in many Welsh towns it is increasing in others. A CELT correspondent has par- ticularly noticed an increase in Brynmawr, a busy and improving town in South Brecon- shire. Twelve years ago there was a fair amount of Welsh to be heard there, but at the present day one hears twice as much of the ancient tongue in what has not inappro- priately been termed the city of the hills." Lord Glantawe is optimistic with regard to the future of the Welsh tinplate trade. Speaking at the recent meeting of the Swansea Harbour Trust, he remarked—and his Lordship ought to know as well as any- body-that the tinplate trade showed an increase of 44 per cent. during the past month, which spoke well of an industry which a few years ago was said to be dying. The general prospects were most gratifying. America was the first to feel depression in trade, but it was now on the crest of a wave of prosperity that would have wonderful effects upon the rest of the world, especially the United Kingdom. The Princess Louise and the Duke of Argyle had a splendid reception on the occasion of their recent visit to the Rhondda Valley. It was a real Welsh welcome, there being Welsh speeches, Welsh music, and Welsh mottoes. Wales is to have a girl preacher. This is Miss Maggie Beavan, daughter of Mr. Rees Beavan, Caerphilly, who passed the Baptist examination, and was accepted by the East Glamorgan Welsh Baptist Association as a preacher. Miss Beavan, although only 16 years of age, is a splendid elocutionist, having won over 150 prizes at various Eisteddfodau. She is a niece of the cele- brated and popular Rev. J. Gomer Lewis, Swansea. The weather in South Wales has been very unseasonable this summer. No two days have been alike. To-day it may be cold, with rain, to-morrow scorchingly hot, with a high wind. The London Welsh Rugby Football Club have acquired an extensive and very con- venient ground at Wandsworth for the coming season. The opening match, in their new quarters, will take place on Sep- tember 18th, when the Glamorgan County Club will pay them a visit. In the evening a banquet and concert will be held, when the President of the Club, Mr. Milsom Rees, will occupy the chair. Four years ago, the Rev. W. Richards, of Paddington, was invited to London to take charge of a Welsh Church, and to preach in Welsh: to day, he is called back to a rural spot in Wales to preach to the inhabitants in English It appears that the Welsh services at Llanbadrig Church, like many other parish churches in Wales, are very poorly attended.
