MARRIAGE OF MAJOR H. HARE…
MARRIAGE OF MAJOR H. HARE AND MISS ROSE BOOKER. On the 9th inst., at St. Jude's Church, Southsea, was solemnized the marriage of Major Henry Hare, 2nd Battalion Royal Munster Fusiliers, and Miss Rose Booker, only daughter of the late J. P. Booker, Esq., of Green Hill, Glamorganshire. The officiating clergymen were the Rev. C. Barnwell, Vicar of Southbroom, Devizes, brother-in-law of the bridegroom, and the Rev. Goodrich Langley, Rector of Somersham, uncle of the bride. The bride, who was given away by her brother, Mr Wyndham Booker, wore a white silk walking dress, trimmed with lace and ribbons to match, and a small floral bonnet, composed entirely of white roses; she carried a beautiful bouquet, the gift of the bridegroom. Shortly after the ceremony the bride and bridegroom left for Folkestone en route for Paris and Switzerland, where the honeymoon will be spent. The bride's travelling dress was of fawn-coloured cloth, trimmed with white moire, and hat to match. The presents included pearl necklet and pendant, pearl and gold bangle, diamond ring, gold bangle, gold brooch, silver- mounted dressing bag, silver-mounted dinner car- vers, silver breakfast dish, silver afternoon tea set, silver salt cellars, set of silver-gilt apostle spoons, silver sugar basin and sifter, silver tea kettle, claret jug, set of Norwegian tea spoons, silver fish knives and forks, silver fish carvers, pair of silver butter dishes, silver napkin rings, silver muffineers and cruet stands, bronze lamp, pair of silver lamps, travelling clocks, china fruit dishes, &c., &c.
LOCAL SUCCESS AT THE KENNEL…
LOCAL SUCCESS AT THE KENNEL CLUB SHOW. The display of dogs at Olympia bids fair to equal the best previous shows of the Kennel Club. So far from the threatened campaign against vagrant beasts, and beasts which are remarkably well looked after, having any influence on the Exhibi- tion, we fancy the mad-dog mania has put the cunophilists on their mettle, in order to demon- strate what, with proper care and common sense, it is possible for the friend of man to become. It is, perhaps, hardly fair to judge the entire species by the choice quadrupeds now exhibited in Ken- sington. They are the pick of their order, the aristocracy of their race. Yet, as every variety is on show, it is not difficult to see how, with bad management, these triumphs of the breeder could degenerate into the curs. Amongst the exhibits we are pleased to see that Dr Lock's Gwen won the prize for the best bitch, making her fourth champion win. "Blue Ruin," in the open. class for dogs, took second prize and the pair won the special prize (a cup) for the best brace, dog and bitch, belonging to the same owner, in the old English sheep dog classes.
FISH REPORT.
FISH REPORT. The trawl fishing this week has been fairly good this being the first landing since Monday, the boats averaged from three up to six pounds per boat for their catch which consisted of soles, turbot, brill, bream, hake, gurnets, whiting, conger, plaice, ray, <fec., The prices given here for prime fish not being satisfactory to some of the fishermen they are now landing at Milford, where prices are far better. The seine fishing is not so good as last week. Small takes of salmon, sewin, grey and red mullet, &c., having been landed, salmon and sewin selling wholesale at is. per lb. The bass fishing is very quiet this week, very little being done. I hear that a gentlemen caught a very fine bass from the rocks at the Castle Hill, weighing over lllbs. The lobster and crab fishing are about the same as last week—very quiet. The weather having changed, the fishermen seem to think that it will make matters better for all the different branches of that industry by scattering the large quantities of jelly fish, known to the fishermen by the name of squalls, and also altering the clearness of the water. All the trawlers are at sea. Wind N.N. W., fresh.- July 10, 1889.

PEMBROKESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL…
PEMBROKESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL AND THE RAILWAY RATES. A meeting of the Railway Rates Committee of the Pembrokeshire County Council, was held at the Shire Hall, Haverfordwest, on Tuesday, the 9th inst. The committee met to consider a letter from the Board of Trade, dated the 10th June, wherein the Board stated that they considered an attempt should now be made in compliance with the pro- visions of sub-section 3, section 94, to arrange the differences that had arisen between the Railway Companies and the objectors to the proposed sche- dule of maximum rates and charges. A similar letter had been addressed to all objectors. During the discussion that followed it was shown that the public and other bodies objecting num- bered 1550, of which 36 were County Councils of England and Wales. After going fully into the matter the committee arranged that a meeting of the joint committees for Pembrokeshire, Cardi- ganshire and Carmarthenshire should be held at Whitland, to meet Mr Frank Impey, of Temple Street, Birmingham, the expert, in order that he might advise the committee what course should be taken in the future as to supporting the objec- tions that had been lodged with the Board of Trade by the County Councils of Pembrokeshire, Car- marthenshire and Cardiganshire. The committee then considered the report that had been prepared by Mr C. W. R. Stokes for consideration by the County Council at their next meeting, and also a series of practical suggestions issued by the County Council for parts of Kesteven, Lincolnshire. It was decided to defer the consideration thereof until after the meeting of the joint committee.
TENBY POLICE COURT, FRIDAY,…
TENBY POLICE COURT, FRIDAY, JULY 5th. [Before the Mayor and Dr. Lock.] Catherine Parcell, an old offender, was brought up in custody charged with being drunk and dis- orderly in Lower Frog Street on the previous evening. Defendant pleaded not guilty, but the evidence was clear and the Bench inflicted a fine of 5s. with costs 4s., or in default of payment a dis- tress to issue; in default of distress seven days hard labour. Committed. SATURDAY, JULY 6th. [Before J. T. Hawksley and J. G. Lock, Esqrs.] Wm. Thompson, a tramp, was brought up in custody charged with obtaining the sum of 3s. by false pretence from Miss Margaret Ellen James of Greenhill Cottage, Tenby, on the 3rd inst. Mr W. Durnford, solicitor, from the office of Mr Mathias-Thomas, appeared for the prosecution. Miss Margaret Ellen James sworn, said-On Wednesday last the prisoner called upon me at Greenhill Cottage. He said he had received a letter from Mr Mason when at Pembroke-Dock, informing him that if he came over to Tenby he would employ him as a printer. He came to Tenby and then Mr Mason told him the season was very backward, but if he could hold. on till Friday he would employ him permanently. Three shillings would enable him to live till Friday, which he asked me to lend him. I lent him the three shil- lings. He asked me for it to pay for his food and lodgings, and on the strength of his statement that he was to be employed by Mr Mason I lent it to him. He also said that he would be earning 5s. a day, and if he worked a little overtime it would be 5s. 6d. He said he would be working on Friday and on that day 1 went to the printing office and saw Mr Leach. Cross-examined—You said you would repay me on Friday evening at 6.30. Mr F. B. Mason said-I am a printer and the only person of that name carrying on that business in Tenby. I do not know the prisoner, and never saw him until he was in the lock-up. The state- ment made by him so far as it concerns me is un- true. The prisoner has not asked me, or the fore- man of the office, for employment. James Watt deposed-I am Sergeant of police stationed at Tenby. From information received I apprehended the prisoner at the lodging-house, Tenby, at 1.30 p.m. on Friday and took him to the police station. I charged him (after cautioning him in the usual way) with obtaining three shillings from Miss James of Greenhill Cottage. He said he intended paying Miss James yesterday evening. He had Is. 9d. in money on him. The Magistrates' Clerk (Mr Robert Lock) then formally charged the prisoner and asked if he had anything to say, and in reply Prisoner said he intended repaying Miss James on Friday evening. He had sent a letter to his friends for some money, but it had not come to hand, and then he sold a coat to the hawker from Saundersfoot who said he would bring the money in. The Is. 9d. he had in his pocket was part of what he intended for Miss James. When the sergeant of police arrested him he thought it was to take him to Miss James. Instead of that he locked him up. The Magistrates committed prisoner for trial at the Assizes at Haverfordwest on Monday, the wit- nesses being bound over to prosecute. MONDAY, JULY 8th. [Before the Mayor and J. G. Lock, Esqr.] George Thomas, aerated water manufacturer, was charged by Mr Augustus Lewis, H.M. Inspector, with employing a certain young person in his factory at Saltern, Tenby, without the prescribed register being kept of his employment, and without a cer. tificate of fitness, contrary to the provision of sec. 77 and 27 of the Factory and Workshops Act. The Bench considered the case proved, and fined de- fendant 6d. in each case, and costs. Paid.
