Pesentation.—On ^aturdiy ¡at, at Pen- tour new buildings, Mr John Morgan was made the recipient of a handsome present to commemorate his recent marriage, by the masons and carpenters. It took the form of a solid silver teapot and was engraved as follows :—" Preseuted to Mr and Mrs Morgan, by the employees, on the occasion ot their marriage, July ht, 190-3."

The gift was supplied by Mr Ben Thomas, watch- maker. Illness.—On Wednesday afternoon of last week, Capt Rapson, M. V.U., and late Kind's horbourmaster at Portsmouth, was taken dl on Newport Parrog. It appears that in company with his father-in-law, the Rev H Miles, Llanstinan, he drove to Newport to visit his wife, who was staying at Brynymor. In company with Mrs Rapaon he was return- ing via the Parrog, to join the vehicle at the Llwyngwair Arms, when he was suddenly taken ill and for an hour lay in the ooeiu before being removed indoors.

The Royal Concerts,—We beg to draw the attention of our readers to the advertisement in another column of the Royal Male Voice Party's concerts at Fishguard next month, and would again remind them that the tickets are now on sale and may be had of the hon. secretary, Mr Hugh George, and others. The concert will be an unique one in the history of Fishguard and in order to secure seats early applications should be made for tickets. Greengrocery.—As will be seen by an advertisement in another column Mr Josfeph Rees, Main-street, has just opened business as greengrocer and fruiterer, and solicits a share of public patronage which we have no doubt will be extended to him. Outings.—On Saturday last a number of the divers employed on the Harbour Works had a very enjoyable outing to St David's and on Saturday next another section of the gang will make Cardigan their rendezvous. Regatta Concert.—We would draw the attention of our readers to the advertisement in another column of the Fishguard Hay Re- gatta concert to take place on August 18th Mr Raymond Carpmael (hon. sec.), one of the Harbour Works official engineers h engaged a budget of talent associated only with the highest class concerts in the most nom, lous centres. The artistes include the renown' ed tenor, Mr Trevor Evans, who sang before the Ring and Queen on board the roval yacht Jul, 20th 1902. The Qaeen on occasion said, I have never heard a better tenor." Although no stringer to Pernbroli' shire people, this gifted tenor is a familiar figure, by reason of his exquisite voice, in t ha very highest-class musical circles. Tftfl Queen is a superior judge of music, so that her remarks on the great tenor are unequi- voiable, and when one reflects that aU the finest talent in the world of music appeals at Royal concerts the value of such gracious comments need no further addition from out- side critics. Mr Trevor Evans, it should he stated, has been entrusted with the commis- sion of engaging the following well-known vocalists Madame Nellie Dummer, a con- tralto of sterling ability who has gained the hall-mark of worth in all the best concerts. Miss Marion Evans, medallist of the Royal Academy of Music, is one of the sweetest sopranos that has ever appeared on the coucert platform. Like the former two she has sung before the ablest critics and at the Patti conceits, both public and at Craigyno. Mr David is a fine baritone of estab. lished worth, and he is the winner of prizes innumerable in north and south national eisteddfodau. Mr Carpmael has also engaged Miss Elsie Curtis, a regular verforlller with the violin at the City of Bath Pump-room concerts concerts patronised by the fashion- abie society of that ancient city of medicinal springs. A page might easily be filled with extracts from the Press notices ro^ardin" all of the above, but space forbids. It ueed only be stated that with such an at ray of vocal and instrumental talent engaged at an enor- mous expense, the music-loving community will. it goes without saying, lend its loyal and generous support by securing tickets which, at the modest prices advertised, will be in great demand. Parish Cuurch.- To morrow (Friday) at 2 30 in the afternom Cuurch members and Sunday scholars meet at the National School and afterwards proceed through the Square and up High.street to Peudro Field for the scholars' annual tea treat. Games and com- petitions will be arranged for the children and a joyous afternoon may be confidently exp ;Ci.ed. Road W ideninfj.—The work of widening the very narrow entrance to Tregroes lane from the main road (j-ist uuder R*ivrd-fach), has j jst been comp.eted, and has prove 1 a vast improvement, thanks to the generosity of Mr W L Wilii-ims, U C., who has given the necesstry land for the widening fred of charge, as well as tbe land used for the sams purpose near Tregroes Cottages. Interesting Wedding.—Not for many a day has a wedding created so much interest and curiosity as that which took place on Tuesday of last week (July 11th), at the Registry office, Cardigan, by special license, between Mr Isaac Harries, of Trebover, Fishguard, and Mrs Ann Williams, of Bwlcb-y-fedwen, Nevern. The ceremony was studiously quiet consistent with persons of riper years. Very few were aware of the nuptials excepting the immediate witnesses. After the ceremony dinner was partaken of at the Commercial Hotel, and the homeward journey was commenced in good A time. The carriage and pair was supplied by Li the Commercial Hotel, Newport.
