In 1891 Judge Bishop became the successor of Judge Beresford, a profoundly learned lawyer, who retired from No. 31 County Court circuit after 13 years' service. The salary of this judgeship is E1500 per annum. At the Pembroke-Dock Dog Show yesterday (Wednesday) Miss Ethel Wickham, Coach and Horses, Tenby, was awarded third prize in the Cocker Spaniel Class for her fine dog "Black Prince." Services in connection with the London Missionary Society will be held in the Tenby Congregational Church on Sunday and Monday, November 27th and 28th, when the deputation will be the Revs. G. Wilkins (South India), and R. C. Williams (Matabeleland). There will be competitions in connection with the Tenby Presbyterian sale of work, to be held in the Public Hall on December 14th, in baking for ladies in drawing and writing; drawing a map of Pembrokeshire, and a pencil sketch of any one of the members of the Tenby Town Council. • Another member of the Tenby Liberal Club has been successful in winning a free break cue in Riley's competition, Mr W. E. Rogers having just won a cue with a break of 92. This is the fourth cue that the members of this club have won, which proves the .excellence of the play of its members. —— A marriage has been arranged between Mr Walter Roch, M.P., of Pembrokeshire, second son of the late Mr William Francis Roch, of Butter Hill, Pembrokeshire, and of Mrs Roch, of Plas-y-Bridell, Pembrokeshire, and Fflorens, only daughter of Major-General Sir Ivor Her- bert, M.P., and the Hon. Lady Herbert, of Llanarth Court, Mon. I; A Liverpool telegram says that the Cunard I Company have decided that their Boston steamers, Franconia and Ivernia, will, during the heavy passenger traffic in the American season, call at Fishguard as well as Queenstown on the eastward run. This means that all the Cunard passenger steamers will next year utilise Fishguard on the homeward voyage. « The weekly meeting of the Tenby Presby- terian Christian Endeavour wes held on Tues- day evening. Miss L. Morris presided. A solo was sung by Miss S. B. Wright, and an able paper was read by Miss N. Parsell on the topic "False Friends," based on passages in Jere- miah xxxviii., 14-23. The treatment of the topic was very profitable and instructive to young people. .— Tenby Hockey Club should have played to the Royal Garrison Artillery yesterday (Wed- nesday), but owing to the wet weather the game was postponed, the team, however, were enter- tained to tea by the Sergeant's Mess, and after- wards six of the Tenby team played a billiard match against six of the Royal Garrison Artillery, which resulted in a win for Tenby. Next week Tenby meet a Dock team. Last week an advance party of a religious order, who have acquired Castle Hall, Milford Haven, the ancient home of the Greville family, where Lord Nelson was entertained, arrived at Milford to arrange for the extensive alterations which are contemplated. Castle Hall is the finest residence on the Haven, and the improve- ments which are to be carried out will make it one of the most picturesque and noble struc- tures in South Wales. After a brief illness, Mrs Evans, wife of Mr Walter Evans, florist, Covent Garden House, Church Street, Tenby, died on Sunday last. The deceased, who was well known and highly respected in the town, was 55 years of age, and had carried on business with her husband for many years in Church Street. The funeral took place yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon from St. Teilo's Roman Catholic Church, the Rev. Father Carew officiating. At the annual meeting of the Llandudno Sea Anglers' Association, held last week, Mr J. W. Gardiner (late Manager of the National Provin- cial Bank, Tenby), was selected to fill a vacancy on the Committee. Special thanks, too, were given Mr Gardiner and Mr Peacock for the able manner in which these gentlemen carried out the duties of weighers-in during the season. The annual Hot-Pot in connection with the Association was held at the Royal Hotel, at which over sixty anglers and their friends were present. The Pembroke Free Press of last week states that the engineer who accompanied Mr Willows in his cross channel flight in the airship "City of Cardiff" was Mr Frank Goodden, youngest son of Mr and Mrs Goodden, late of Main Street, Pembroke, and now of Worthing. Mr Frank was apprenticed to an electrical engi- neering firm and after that he joined Spencer the balloon people. He has had many flights and descended by parachute from a height of nearly three miles. Mr Sydney James and his famous Strollers,' are to appear at the Assembly Rooms, Tenby, next Thursday night, when there will be a great treat in store. Full of vim and go, the "Strollers" serve up btirlesque in a manner that is extremely original, and their entertain- ment from start to finish is brim full of spark- ling fun, and conspicuous by its refinement. They have just concluded an enormously suc- cessful season at the Palace Theatre, London, under the management of Mr Alfred Butt, and are giving what is termed a "flying" farewell tour, previous to their tour of the world, or to be precise, Africa, America, and Australia, where they have already created many records.

MISSIONARY MEETING AT TENBY.…
MISSIONARY MEETING AT TENBY. The annual Missionary Meeting of the Tenby Presbyterian Church was held on Wednesday, November 16th. The deputation was Miss Ellen Hughes, St. Asaph, a returned missionary from Assam, India. The report was read by Mr Edwin Lloyd, the secretary, which was accompanied with an earnest appeal for greater interest in missions. Miss Hughes delivered a stirring address, in which she gave a vivid picture of the condition of the people of India, and their great need of the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Her appeals for the women of India were deeply felt. An inte- resting feature of the meeting was two young ladies dressed in native costume-Nurse Jones represented a Khassie bride and Miss Write a Zenana woman. The meeting was a remarkably interesting one, and the deputation is an excellent advocate of the claims of Foreign Missions.
----THE PEMBROKE BOROUGHS.…
THE PEMBROKE BOROUGHS. 18 son- SELECTION OF UNIONIST CANDIDATE. The Executive Committee of the Central Conservative Council of the Pembroke and Haverfordwest Boroughs unanimously resolved at a meeting held at Neyland last Thursday afternoon to recommend the Council to adopt Mr F. Lort Philipps, Lawrenny Castle, Pem- brokeshire, as the Unionist candidate for the boroughs at the approaching election. Mr Philipps said that after having refused to con- test the seat on several previous occasions, being personally disinclined to actively engage in politics, he thought a few words of explanation desirable. He had decided to sink his personal feelings in view of the possibility of the return to power of a single Chamber Government. He reserved a full statement until a larger meeting of the Conservative Council, which takes place to-day (Thursday). Mr Lort Philipps is a large landowner in the county.
. APPEAL TO SIR OWEN PHILIPPS.
APPEAL TO SIR OWEN PHILIPPS. NOT SEEKING RE-ELECTION FOR PEMBROKE BOROUGHS. Pressure is being brought to bear upon Sir Owen Philipps, Liberal M.P. for Pembroke Boroughs, to allow himself to be nominated for the West Carmarthenshire candidature, and it is thought that the invitation is being favourably considered, especially in view of the fact that Sir Owen intends to reside in the Carmarthen district—probably at Coombe Mansion, the birthplace of Lady Philipps-and that he has intimated to Dr. Griffith, J.P. (president of the Pembroke and Haverfordwest Boroughs Liberal Association) his intention notto again seek re- election by that constituency. The following is a copy of the letter addressed to Dr. Griffith :— 76, Eaton Square, S.W., 19th Nov., 1910. My dear Doctor Griffith,-I desire to thank you and all my many friends in the Pem- broke and Haverfordwest Boroughs for their kindness to me since I have represented the United Boroughs in Parliament. I deeply appreciate the great honour done to me when on each occasion I was returned by a far larger majority than had ever pre- viously been recorded in favour of any mem- ber of Parliament for the constituency, and I therefore much regret that I do not see my way to offer myself for re-election at the coming General Election. Again thanking you and all my friends for their very kind support,—Believe me, yours very truly, OWEN PHILIPPS.
NEW LIBERAL CANDIDATE. --
NEW LIBERAL CANDIDATE. MAJOR GUEST, M.P., SELECTED YESTERDAY. At a largely-attended and enthusiastic meeting of delegates at Pembroke-Dock yesterday (Wed- nesday) afternoon Major Guest, who is at pre- sent the member for East Dorset, was unani- mously selected to contest the Pembroke Boroughs in the Liberal interest. The- new candidate, whose mother is Lady Wimbourne, and who is a cousin to Mr Winston Churchill, the Home Secretary, delivered a most able and inspiriting speech, and all present were highly delighted with the selection. Major Guest, who is quite a young man, possesses a magnetic personality, is what may justly be described as a "silver-tongued speaker," and is endowed with the rare gift of carrying an audience with him. In a measure he possesses some of the qualities which go to make up the remarkable personality of his brilliant and versatile cousin the Home Secretary, who, by the way, is expected to tour the constituency on his bealf, and map possibly speak at Tenby. Prominent Liberals ex- press themselves as more than confident of Major Guest's ability not only to retain the seat for the party, but to increase the fine majority which Sir Owen Philipps, the present member, secured last January. The new candi- date, who has appointed Mr W. C. Ivemy, of Pembroke-Dock, as his election agent, has already commenced a vigorous campaign, and will speak at a mass meeting of the electors to be held in the Public Hall, Tenby, to-morrow (Friday) night, over which Lord St. Davids is announced to preside. Major Guest intends to tour the constituency by motor, and yesterday (Wednesday) one of his magnificent cars arrived at Tenby. It may be mentioned that in the event of no other candidate being forthcoming, Mr C. F. Egerton Allen, J.P., who formerly held the seat, was willing to again come forward in the Liberal cause, an offer which was much appreciated by the Party throughout the Boroughs.
MR. LORT PHILLIPS' CANDIDATURE.
MR. LORT PHILLIPS' CANDI- DATURE. MEETING AT TENBY LAST NIGHT. In response to the following circular sent out by Mr C. W. R. Stokes (chairman of the Tenby Conservative and Unionist Association), there was a representative gathering of local Unionists at the Royal Gate House Assembly Rooms last (Wednesday) night:— PEMBROKE BOROUGHS ELECTION, 1910. LADIES and GENTLEMEN, Mr Lort Phillips, our local Candi- date, having consented to champion the Con- servative and Unionist Cause in these Boroughs, will you meet me at the Royal Gate House Assembly Rooms on Wednesday next, the 23rd inst., at 8 o'clock, to make arrangements for making an energetic and vigorous campaign within this Borough. Yours faithfully, CHAS. WM. REES STOKES, Chairman of the Tenby Conservative and Unonist Association. Mr Stokes presided, and was supported on the platform by several ladies and gentlemen. In the course of a somewhat lengthy speech he dealt with the existing political situation, and referred in eulogistic terms to their new candi- date, Mr Lort Phillips, in whom they had got a real local man at last, and not, as the other side had so often taunted them with, a "carpet- bagger." The state of affairs had been changed now in that respect, for it was the Liberals who had got the stranger and the "carpet bagger." During the meeting speeches were made by Mrs Denne (chairman of the Tenby Women's Unionist and Tariff Reform Association), Mrs Norman Scott (secretary), Captain Troughton, Mr T. P. Hughes, Mr G. H. Sandercock, Mr Montagu Leeds, Mr J. Leach, and Mr John Thomas (Warren Street).
SIR OWEN PHILIPPS AND WEST…
SIR OWEN PHILIPPS AND WEST CARMARTHEN. Mr John Hinds, of Blackheath, was yester- day selected as the Liberal candidate for West Carmarthen. The names of six gentlemen were submitted to the delegates, amongst them being Sir Owen Philipps, who has retired from the Pembroke Boroughs.
MR. WALTER ROCH'S SEAT. --
MR. WALTER ROCH'S SEAT. There was a rumour on Tuesday that Mr Walter Roch, the Pembroke County member, contemplated retirement. For some time past Mr E. D. Jones, of Fishguard, has been men- tioned as the Liberal candidate in the event of Mr Roch deciding to relinquish the teat. Mr Roch is in delicate health, and at the last elec- tion was unable to give the constituency the attention which he otherwise would have been able to give.

LATE MRS. M. A. A. LEACH.…
LATE MRS. M. A. A. LEACH. —— FUNERAL AT ST. FLORENCE. Last Friday, shortly after noon, the mortal remains of the late Mrs M. A. A. Leach, who died in London, were interred in the St. Florence Parish Churchyard. The deceased lady was the widow of Mr John Leach, a former tenant at Ivy Tower, and who died in 1876. She celebrated her 80th birthday in April last at her London residence, No. 14, Queensborough Terrace, Paddington. The service at the grave- side was taken by the Rev. J. Palmour, Vicar of St. Florence, assisted by the Rev. R. F. Banning, of Kentish Town, a nephew of the deceased. Other relatives who attended as mourners were Colonel H. M. Skrine, Mr F. Skrine, and Mr J. H. S. Hanning. Colonel and Mrs H. H. Goodeve, the present tenant of Ivy Tower, also attended the funeral. Amongst those who sent beautiful wreaths and flowers were the Rev. H. and Mrs. Skrine, Mr and Mrs F. H. Skrine, Colonel and Lady Mary Skrine, Mr and Mrs. J. H. S. Hanning, Miss A. H. Hanning, Mrs Richmond, Miss Agnes Harries, Colonel and Mrs H. H. Goodeve, and the deceased lady's nurse and maids at No. 14, Queensborough Terrace. We understand that the late Mrs Leach has left a sum of about £250 for the poor of the parish of St. Florence. The funeral arrangements after the arrival of the remains at Tenby were carried out by Mr F. B. Mason, the deceased lady's house agent.
TENBY CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.…
TENBY CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. YOUNG MEN'S SOCIETY. INAUGURAL LECTURE. On Wednesday evening, November 9th, in con- nection with the Tenby Congregational Church's Young Men's Society, and as the first item in their programme for the winter season, the inaugural lecture was given by the President (the Rev. J. Lloyd Williams, B.A.) in the school-room of the above church in the presence of a goodly gathering of members and sympathizers. The object of the Society is to promote mental and moral cultivation, to develop the gift of ordered speech, and generally to evoke a deeper interest among young men in the higher pursuits and larger issues of life, and the programme drawn up by the Committee is intended to stimulate the exercise of any gift of mind and speech and service which may hitherto have remained un- recognized or undeveloped. The Rev. J. Lloyd Williams took as his subject The Englishman's Place and Power in Modern Progress." Beginning with a quotation from a Russian writer to the effect that the colonizing power of England was such as to make it practi. cally an invincible power in the competition of races," and with an endorsement of a well. founded statement of Benjamin Kidd's that the vigorous English race, with all its faults, has carried humanitarian principles into its dealings with inferior peoples," he showed how history teaches that the more effective conquests are obtained, not through wars, but through superior intelligence and character. He referred te a table, compiled by Dr. Schaff, showing that the English-speaking peoples excelled in virility and vitality, and flourished more extensively than Russian, French, and Spanish nationalities, and that while Latin peoples were falling behind in the march of progress, the power of the Teuton was extending over land and sea. During the last century the English-speaking people multi- plied fivefold. Further, the literature of the Englishman was unsurpassed. In the words of Emerson, the. great English masters were out of all rivalry and reach." Taine, the French writer acknowledged that English literature stood first* The lecturer pointed out the appropriative and absorbing power of the English language, which borrowed from all sources and culled from every quarter. The progress of the English people was at the root of much of the jealousy of other nations. The difficulty, for instance, with Germany was neither naval nor military, but arose from the fact that England was in posses. sion in so many parts of the globe, and that the German Empire craved for larger room for its own expansion. It was a significant fact that the English and German cousins were the two great leaders of modern advance. Continuing, he called attention to the fact that the chief characteristic of the Englishman was, not love of money, but love of enterprise. The greed of gold did not send discoverers to the North and South Poles, but love of action, The Englishman had also strong common sense. He was sane in judgment remarkably level-headed, and eminently practical.' He seemed to combine in varying degrees the versatility of the Frenchman, and the deliberation of the German, avoiding the stolidity of the one, and the fickleness and rashness of the other. He ventured to dispute the statement of Canon Knox Little that "the Englishman was deeply reli. gious." He would not say deeply, but rather, evenly and calculatingly religious. His chief weakness was in this respect that he sought to make the spiritual and the temporal run parallel, and attempted the impossible task of mingling them into a kind of mechanical compound, instead of making the spiritual splendidly dominant over the material. The old jollity of the Scandi- navian blood was still running in John Bull's veins, making him prefer the feast to the fast, inclining him to periodical religiosity rather than to sustained religious enthusiasm. In that reo spect he misses the fine faith and idealism of the Celt to whom the eternal world is the great reality, whose ultimate reliance is upon the spiritual and the unseen. The lecture concluded with a comparison between the Roman and English Empires. The Roman Empire fell because it lacked cohesiveness. It could not blend its races and nationalities. The Hebrews failed through their exclusiveness. The Greeks failed on the moral side of human nature. The Romans failed through the absence of high ideals. The Englishman has the advantage of Christianity, the power of which he knows, the secret of which he has not yet fully known. Still, his faith is in the Cross and in the risen Christ, and in virtue of that power which commands him, sometimes unknown to himself, and sometimes in spite of himself, he is able to discover and reject the false and fatal in the life of nations, to absorb and assimilate all that is good and true in the past, and, therefore, takes the leading place as the great missionary of the modern world. The lecture was followed throughout with keen and intense interest, and the proceedings ter. minated with a cordial vote of thanks. The Young Men's Society meets in the Central Class Room of the Congregational School-room every Tuesday evening at 7.45, and young men desiring to help and be helped are invited, to join. Cards of membership for the term, threepence each, may be obtained from the vice-presidents or secretaries.
TENBY CEMETERY EXTENSION.…
