THE NEW SCHOOLS.
THE NEW SCHOOLS. The managers of the Tenby New Schools met yesterday at the Town Hall, present,-Rev. G. Huntington, chairman, Rev. J. Lewis; Messrs. Allen, Sanders, Richards, Gwynne, Walkinton, Mason and Phelps. It was resolved to open the New Schools at twelve o'clock on Monday, the 27th inst., and to invite the Mayor and members of the Corporation, the Magistrates, the Clergy of all denominations, and the principal inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, to be present on the occasion. The architect of the New Schools is Mr. Daniel Birkett, of Carlisle, and the builders are Messrs. Morris and Davies of this town. They have been finished at a total money cost of £2,300, and are built on an acre of ground given by the Charity Trustees. The site is worth £500, making the total value of the schools £ 2,800. They will ac- commodate 250 boys, 200 girls, and 276 infants. The situation is very central, as regards the industrial population of the town, being between Chimney Park and the new houses built at the bottom of Hound's Lane and in the Pill Field. Mr. Mathias, the present National School master, will be the master of the boys school. Miss Holmes, the present Infant School mistress, will instruct the infants. For the mistress of the girls school the secretary was directed to write to two selected candidates for their testimonials, and on the receipt of these the committee will appoint the one who is most eligible. The absolute money cost of the schools is, as above stated, £2300, of which sum about tuuu has been realized, £727 has been promised by Government, there still remains nearly X700 to be obtained. The sale of the old Infant School, the only one which can be disposed of, may realize £500, leaving an absolute deficit of £200, besides what may be required for books, maps, &c. The contract for the schools includes desks and forms, but not books, &c. The Secretary mentioned that no provision for laying on water to the schools had been made, and it was resolved to ask the Corporation for a con- tribution which might take the form of laying down the requisite pipes, at an estimated expense of X20 or .£25, and the Secretary was instructed to apply to the Mayor for such a contribution. The committee were impressed with the necessity of procuring more money, but the particular mode was left for future consideration. It was suggested that a collection at the opening would bring in a handsome addition to the funds; and the several members of the committee were urged to get what donations they could from the friends of voluntary elementary education, and thus avoid a school rate. B IN AID OF THE RESTORATION
AZAAR IN AID OF THE RESTORATION…
OF ROBESTON WATHEN CHURCH. We have to thank several friends in Tenby, and elsewhere, for what they have already contributed to the bazaar which we propose to hold in August, towards the cost of restoring Robeston Wathen Church. We have not ventured to make a personal canvass of all our friends, fearing to press too much on some who are already heavily burthened. Some, however, have volunteered assistance, promising contributions of work, and other things for sale, and subscriptions in money: and we are aware that others are kindly intending to do the same. Will these good friends who have promised, or propose to help us, let me thank them for their kind intentions, and remind them that the bazaar will be held on August 18th, and the following day or days, at the Assembly Rooms of the Gate House Hotel, Tenby. May I also beg them to let me know, as soon as they conveniently can before that day, what they propose to contribute, and to send any articles for sale, when ready, either by train to Robeston Wathen, Narberth; or to Mrs. But- ler's, 9, Bellevue, Tenby, marking on each article the price at which they think it ought to be sold. We shall soon be prepared to advertise all par- ticulars, as to stall-holders, hours, admission, &c. There will be one unusual feature of the pro- posed bazaar. It will include one village stall, which will be held by the villagers of Robeston Wathen, and will be supplied exclusively with articles of village manufacture and produce; knitted things, quilted and plain work, butter, preserves, pickles, garden produce, poultry, eggs, &c., which will be sold at market prices. Contributions of work, &c., promises of help, and subscriptions will be thankfully received and acknowledged by me. Robeston Wathen, June 30. GEO. CLARK.
BAND COMMITTEE.
BAND COMMITTEE. Yesterday a meeting of the committee was held at the Town Hall, present,—J. Gregory, Esq. (Mayor), in the chair; Drs. Lock and Whitworth W. H. Richards, Esq.; Messrs. J. Hughes, R. Mason, W. M. Walkinton, and W. Williams. The chairman stated that an efficient band had been engaged; that they would commence playing on the promenades on Monday next; that their business was to appoint a honorary secretary and treasurer in the place of Dr. Lock, who, from a serious family bereavement, had resigned; and to take the necessary steps to raise the funds to pay the band. Mr. W. Williams, chemist, was unanimously elected honorary secretary and treasurer. Resolved,-That the committee make an house to house canvass for subscriptions. The honorary treasurer, Mr. Williams, will gladly receive any donations, and as he will have a great deal of trouble we hope all interested in the welfare of Tenbv will call on him and leave their money, and thus save the committee the irk- some duty of canvassing. A full list of subscribers will appear in our next. The band will play as under, in the morning from eleven till one; and in the evening from seven till half-past nine:- Morning. livening.

PARISH CHURCH—On Sunday last, the Ven. Archdeacon Clark preached in the morning on behalf of the Diocesan Board of Education, when £10 was the amount of the offertory. TENBY CONSTITUTIONAL ASSOCIATION. The annual general meeting of this association was held last evening in the Royal Assembly Rooms, W. H. Richards, Esq., in the chair. The accounts showed the society to be in a satisfactory condition, while there had been a steady increase in the number of members. It was unanimously resolved that in future all candidates for admission must be proposed and seconded by a member of the asso- ciation. TENBY POLICE—On Monday last Captain Willis, the Government Inspector of Police, visited Tenby, and inspected the Lock-up house and the police. He advised the Watch Committee, both on the account of efficiency and economy (owing to Government paying a moiety of the expense) to join the County Constabulary. If not, that they ought to have a new Lock-up house, with a resi- dence for the chief officer adjoining. Mr. Robert Lock was on Tuesday last admitted a solicitor of Her Majesty's High Court of Chancery, and an attorney of the Court of Queen's Bench. GRAND AMATEUR DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT.- W e beg to direct the attention of our readers to an advertisement which appears in another column, to the above performance, which is to take place in the Assembly Rooms next Saturday week. It has been remarked that there has, during this season, been a great dearth of amusement in Tenby. Here then is a break, and we wish the affair all success. There is a novelty in the features of this entertainment, in the fact of the first part being made up of scenes from that almost best known and most popular of Charles Dickens's works, "Nicholas Nickleby." This, combined with the tempting carte provided for the pleasure loving public, by the names adver- tised to perform in the farce, leaves us little doubt that an overflowing house will welcome the amateurs. COTTAGE HOSPITAL.-Number of beds, 7; total number in hospital, I.-July 1, 1874. ODD- FELLOWSHIP.-Tbe usual half-yearly audit of the accounts of the Loyal Ship and Castle Lodge took place on Tuesday evening in the Lodge-room, St. George Street, when the books showed the society to be in a satisfactory state, as will be seen from the following statement:- Balance in hand from last half-year £ 0 19 5 Receipts. 103 18 4 Paid to sick members. 71 5 0 Invested in Savings Bank. 15 0 0 Medical Officer's bill, &c. 32 6 0 Balance due to Treasurer. 1 9 9 Cash in Savings Bank. 1654 2 7 Total value of lodge property. 1705 17 2 ihe lodge numbers 156 members. The elected officers for this half-year are,-Bro. John Thomas, N.G.; Bro. W. J. Rees, V.G.; Bro. J. R. Wil- liams, Sec. POLICE COURT, Thursday, July 25th.-Before Dr. Dyster, (chairman); W. Rees and H. Sanders, Esqrs—Richard Ormond was brought up in cus- tody by P.C. Carew, charged with being drunk and riotous on the previous night. Fined X2 with 5s. costs -The same constable then charged de- fendant with assaulting him whilst in the execution of his duty.

Rees, Esqrs.- Catherine Parcell was charged with being drunk and riotous in Tudor Square on Saturday evening, the 20th inst. P.C.
