TURNER IN PEMBROKE- SHIRE. 'II A contributor in the South Wales Daily News of Monday has an interesting article dealing with the itinerary of Turner the artist in Wales, in the course of which he says, after referring to his visit to Kidwelly :—"The next point of interest was Tenby. Of the famous watering- place only a single sketch survives in the Sketch Books, 'The Walls of Tenby,' but it was a centre for many excursions. Carew Castle (two drawings), Carew Castle Mill,' 'Hook, Pembrokeshire,' 'Milford Haven,' and several unnamed, and so far unidentified, drawings, represent the output of this part of the tour. The Carew Castle drawing was an afternoon effect, showing descending sunbeams through soft clouds, after rain. Turner was now to make acquaintance with Pembroke, with its great ruined castle set in surroundings which appealed strongly to his genius. It was not a subject fui4 a Sketch Hook. It demanded larger treatment, and it is not to be wondered at that not a single sketch of Pembroke is to be found in the Sketch Books of this tour. The majesty of Pembroke Castle, as seen by Turner's eyes, must be sought in the drawings and painings which he made in after years. Two great pictures—'Pembroke Castle- t huu- derstorm approaching (exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1801), and Pembroke Castle- thunderstorm clearing' (exhibited in 1806)— are by their titles alone eloquent of the impres- sion left upon the artist by his visit to Pem- broke. He also included it amongst the engravings in the England and Wales series in 1829, and there are two studies of the same subject in the book known as the Studies for Pictures Sketch Buok, 1800-180,2, as well as small water-colour drawings in different pri- vate collections. There is nothing to indicate the length of Turner's stay in any of the places, except the number of sketches made. His whole life was a mystery, few details of his movements being known, and round this early part of his career there is a mantle of silence and obscurity, not easily pierced. His tour in- cluded, according to the original plan of it, visits to Haverfordwest and to Picton Castle. Whether these places were actually visited is difficult to decide. It is probable, however, that he went to Haverfordwest on his way to St. David's, a point upon which the sketch books afford explicit evidence. In and around St. David's Turner found an abundance of sub- jects. St. David's Head from Porthsallie Bay Rocky Coast Nolton Bay Mill (Nolton Haven, St. Bride's Bay); Rocks on Coast, Ramsay Island Bishop and Clerks Rocks on Coast Ruins of Bishop's Palace, St. David's Bishop's Throne, St. David's Cathedral Bishop Yaughan's Chapel, St. David's Gateway of Ruined Abbey (really another sketch of the ruined palace) Interior of St. David's Cathe- dral such are the subjects named or identified, with some others not yet identified, drawn by him during this memorable visit. With St. David's Turner appears to have brought this tour to a conclusion so far as drawings in South Wales is concerned. What followed can only be conjectured. The weather or stress of time may have made it necessary, to hurry away, to abandon the long journeys on foct in favour of the stage coach. He may have returned to Haverfordwest and travelled by stage coach to Carmarthen, Llandovery, Brecon, and Here- ford, at which last-named place he made the next drawings in his sketch book. These are followed by a series of drawings in and around Hampton Court. Herefordshire, one of his favourite haunts, and the residence of Lord Viscount Maiden, one of his patrons. There is a drawing of Brecon Castle, and a note of a commission to reproduce-it for Mr -Lambert, but the drawing has been removed from its place in the book and inserted later. It was probably made on this journey. and is some confirmation of the route suggested."

WHAT TENBY IS TEMPTED TO ASK. Tenby people are often tempted to ask, on reading testimonials from persons living many miles away, How is it these testimonials are always from strangers in distant towns, when the word of a neighbour alone can be easily proven ? But when the evidence ie Tenby evidence, like the following, there is no longer room for doubt. Mrs A. Llewellyn, whose address is 10, Clareston Road, Tenby says Many months ago I began to suffer a great deal with backache, caused, I believe, by a cold. At times the pains in my back were so sharp that they were almost unbearable, and frequently I would come over dizzy—when these dizzy attacks were severe I would be confined to the house, able to do but little work. The dizziness was often accompanied by -black specks before my eyes. I had read a good deal about Doan's back- ache kidney pills, and at last decided to give them a trial. The resnlt surprised and delighted me, for ease came with the first few doses, and two boxes of the pills completely cured me. Should I get any sign of backache again, I shall at once use Doan's backache kidney pills, for I have great faith in them. (Signed) (Mrs) A. Llewellyn." Doan's backache kidney pills are two shillings and ninepence per box, or six boxes for thirteen shillings and ninepence. Of all chemists and stores or post free, direct from the Foster-McClellan Co.,8, Wells Street,'Oxford Street, London, W. Be sure you get the same kind of pills as Mrs Llewellyn had.

TRIP TO MILFORD. The following is a cutting from the Cardiff Times, October 13th, 1860:—" Happy is the man who can plod his way through this world and escape the disappointments which are continually surrounding him. On Monday last a large num- ber of our workingmen had prepared themselves for a day's recreation and pleasure by going to see the Great Eastern. The charge for the trip was certainly very cheap, and it being pay-Monday, which is generally known to be the workmen's holiday, we could not blame them for embracing the opportunity. Well, at the appointed time they were at the station. The youthful and gay were there in abundance; the middle-aged with their sons and daughters mustered in great strength. The hoary and bald-headed were among the number; in fact, all ages, sizes, grades, and professions were beut upon having this 296 mile ride. At six o'clock they started. At Aber- beeg Junction the Nantyglo train brought another cargo from the 'upper black country;' and when both trains were linked together, eighteen full car- riages were mode up of hill people. They arrived at Newport in due course, and were soon packed together in all sorts of carriages. They started in good time and good spirits. But when did they get to their destination? Why, at noon it might be expected. No, it was ten minutes past four when they arrived at Milford. At six o'clock they were ordered to take their seats for the re- turn journey, having had only one hundred and ten minutes' stay at Milford. Of course, they made the most of it. At six o'clock they mustered at the station, and were kept for an hour before they could get to their seats. At length the train started, and at half-past five the next morning some of the party arrived at Ebbw Vate, and other had not arrived up to the time we write (Wednesday). Various are the tales told of the journey."

A PICTURE OF JOYOUSNESS. In the course of the line art feature of the November Whidxor Magazine, which consists of fourteen delightful landscapes and pastorals by distinguished artists, grouped as Themes by Mead and Stream," together with a finely printed coloured plate, the writer says :— Decorative as a Japanese brocade, complex, vivid, luminous, the picture The Chase,' by that clever Scotsman, Mr E. A. Ilornel, was justly and prominently centred in the Academy of—if we remember rightly-a couple of years ago. Glittering almost jewel-like in colour, this scene of flowers and children and butteitlies, which holds the dignity of imaginative art, loses these admirable qualities very considerably in its translation into black and white. Painted in an hour of immeasurable heat, the glare of which could scarce be borne by older eyes thah those of children, the picture shows a. joyousness which Mr Hornel emphasizes in his mastery of his material; for the enterprise with which the work was undertaken, and the skill and vigour with which it was carried through, make it a very noteworthy performance."

DAILY DIALOGUES. h- -So we may see a couple of Welsh-built ironclads in the King's Dock, by the Post-the Howe and the Edinburgh ? -Yes; and it sounds rather curiously to some people to hear of big boats of that kind being built in Wales. It sounds an anachronism -but the biggest anomaly in that line is the firm of Messrs. Hartland and Wolff, of Belfast. You have here an immense shipbuilding yard—the finest in the world, perhaps, of its kind—in a country whose mineral resources and develop- ment are about on a par with those of Patagonia. -You're a bit of a naval expert. Have many of these boats been built at Pembroke ? -In the past, yes. In the future it is very improbable that Pembroke will ever again reach the activity of the old days. The most recent was the Renown, a battleship of 12,350 tons, which was built there in 1893-95. She was a failure in most respects, and is now on the list for scrap- ping. Then the Empress of India and Repulse, sister boats, of 14,150 tons, were turned out between 1889 and 1892. They were the biggest ever built there, and are fine boats still, but their number's up. Then the Nile, of 12,000 tons, was built in 1886; the Anson, of 10,600 tons, in 1886 the Hoice in 1885, the Collingwood in 1882, and the Edinburgh in 1882-sho was laid down in 1879. So far back as 1872 the Thunderer was launched. All these were boats from 9300 tons up, and are hopeless has-beens. In the way of other craft, we have the Duke of Edinburgh and the Warrior, built between 1903 and 1905, boats of 13,000 tons. The Drake, one of our finest and fastest vessels, was lauched in 1901, and can do 25 knots. Smaller vessels built are the Essex, Cornwall, Aurora, Spartiate, Andromeda, Cambrian, Flora, Forth, Thames, Amphion, Iris, Mercury, Pearl, Blanche, Blonde, and Hazard. These range from 1870 tons to 14,000 tons displacement; so you'll see that the Little England slips have done an extraordinary amount of work in their time. -It's an extraordinary list. Why, it's quite a navy. -Yes, it's very far from being a small navy either. It's a stronger fleet than any Power save half a dozen possesses. And then there's the Royal yacht, built ih 1897. There was a bit of a mess of her in some respects, as a yacht and a warship are very different kinds of boats, and the men who can design and build the one aren't necessarily equal to the task of designing and building the other. Pembroke has been a big place in its time.—South Wales Daily Post.

BRITISH MADE." For patriots there is a ray of sunshine in the toyland of the winter gift-giving season, which will be appreciated by the parents more than by the children, and that is that the British child can play with a British-made toy, which, sur- prising as it may seem to some people, is not only much better made, but is cheaper than many foreign toys. A few years ago it certainly looked as if the enormous amounts of money which are spent on toys would go in increasing shares to provide work for alien hands, but the tide has been turned entirely without the aid of sentiment. Shoppers will find that, thanks to the skill and thought of those who make toys in our islands, the British toys are, in many instances, far and away better value than those of other lands. We hold practically a monopoly in our own markets for wooden toys. Years ago, wooden toys were collected from scattered home workers, who each devoted their time to the production of a single class of article, but few of these poorly paid craftsmen are left. Here and there are a few who still struggle on, like a careworn toy barrow maker I heard of in the South of London. For over half a century he and his father before him have toiled, making wooden barrows in the dingy home, but the modern toy-maker works in one of the large factories, aided by every modern ap- pliance and under hygienic conditiOlls.-Windsor Magazine.
