CARMARTHEN SCHOOL BOARD. A special meeting of the School Board was held last Wednesday evening, before the ordinary monthly meeting, to appoint a new member as a successor to the Rev A. J. Parry, late Baptist minister in this town, who had tendered his resignation on the Board. There were present Mr John Hughes, F. R.C.S. (chairmanj Mr. T. E. Brigstocke Professor Jones; Mr Thomas Thomas, Welliield Road and the Clerk. The Chairman, in opening the meeting, said that as they were aware, according to the Education Act 1876, if an occasional vacancy occurred on a School Board, such vacancy could be filled up by a quorum at a special meeting held for the purpose, and as they were a quorum, they would be entitled to go on with the ap- pointment then. The letter of resignation having been read, Professor Jones proposed, and Mr Thomas Thomas seconded the nomination of Professor J. Evans, Presbyterian College.—The motion was carried without opposition. The ordinary meeting was then held, when the Rev C. G. Brown, Dr. W. L. Hughes, and Pro- fessor J. Evans, the new member, were also present.—Several bills and salaries were passed and ordered to be paid.—It was resolved that in future all cheques be signed by any two members of the sub committee, consisting of the Chairman, Mr T. E. Brigstocke and Professor Jones. Mr T. E. Brigstocke said that since the last meet- ing he had had a statement from the clerk of the receipts and payments of the schools. The state- ment showed the total receipts of the Pentrepoth (boys) to be E291 17s. 4d. total expenditure, £ 305 3s. Ditto (girls), receipts, C201 4s. 2d. payments, £ 189 2s. Ditto (infants), receipts, £ 134 17s. Id. payments, JE141 Is. lid. Quay- street School, receipts, R104 17s. 8d. payments, JE158 4s. 11 Jd. Johnstown School, receipts, £ 94 13s. Id. payments, E138 7s. 7id. also A:85 OH. llAd. for general repairs, etc. to the five schools. The balance in hand was R222 9s. lOd. against £ 240 in the corresponding period last year. Mr T. E. Brigstocke it Professor Jones were ap- pointed visitors for the next month, and were requested to see as to the recommendation of H.M. Inspector that the gallery in the infant school be removed, and desks substituted. The report of the attendance officer was then proceeded with, when it was decided to enforce the attendance order made last December on the child of Joseph Barnett, labourer, Love Lane he, accordingly, to be sent to a training school. Summonses were ordered to be taken out against Mary Stephens, Waundew; and John Davies, Danybank for not sending their children to school. The Chairman asked the attendance officer to visit the railway station now and again, to watch for the boys that made it a point to beg about the place, and take them up, as they were a public nuisance. It was agreed to adjourn the question of ad- justing the salaries of the school teachers in ac- cordance with the last Education Code, as a copy of it had not been procured, until the next meet- ing. The next business was to appoint a vice-chair- man, instead of the Rev A. J. Parry, and Mr Brigstocke said lie rose with great pleasure to move that the Rev C. G. Brown be elected. He need not say much to recommend him as a useful member of the Board, and he was most fitted to the post by the important office he held as Principal. He had looked over the attendances of each member, and lie found that Mr Brown had attended the largest number of times. He was sure the appointment, if made, would give satisfaction to the whole of Carmarthen. Dr. W. L. Hughes seconded. Professor Jones moved an amendment that Professor Evans be appointed, as he did not think it right that an old member like Mr Brown should be burdened with the work done by Mr Parry, but that it should be carried out by the one appointed as his successor. The Chairman said he would vote for the amendment, and he should like to give his reasons for doing so. Mr Brown was a personal friend of his, and he had great respect for him, but he voted for Professor Evans, for the reason that it was made a party question at the last election, and as the anti-Biblists were in the majority, lie had, as he may say against his will, to maintain their supremacy. Being put to the vote, four (including Pro- fessor Evans) voted for the amendment, and two against Professor Evans being accordingly elected. Mr T. E. Brigstocke rose on a point of order. He did not know that Professor Evans had a right to vote before his appointment had been reported to the Education Department. If seemed very un- usual for a man to vote on such a question the first time he sat. Professor Evans said that great pressure had been put to bear on him to do so, and after due consideration he thought it best that he should do as he had done. Mr Brigstocke accepted Professor Evans' ex- planation, and said lie would not have mentioned it if he knew it had been previously arranged. This ended the business, but before leaving, Mr Brigstocke said that as they were losing their Chairman, they should express a wish that he would regain his usual health on his tour, and come back to attend to his duties soon again.

KIDWELLY AND DISTRICT NOTES. [ B y RAMBLER.] There is some hay cut at the neighbouring farms, but the great majority is still standing waiting for settled weather. Mr David T. Griffiths, of Jesus College, Oxford, son of Councillor Dvid Griffiths, London House, Kidwelly, has just taken ä First Class in Modera- tions in the Honour School of Mathematics in the University of Oxford. Mr Griffiths is the first in Jeaus College who has taken this First Class for the last ten years, only six others til the whole university having done so now. We also hear of the success of ai?other Kid- wcllyite, viz., Mr John Williams, of Motfa-bach, who has just taken a medical degree at tIle.Ediii- burgh University. Mr Williams intends shortly to come to Kidwelly and assist Dr. Jones in bis work. We wish him a success. We are asked to remind out readers that the first flower show ever held in Kidwelly will be held in the Old Castle Grounds on Tuesday week. Combined with the Flower Show there will he a pleasure fete, dramatic entertainment by a party of ladies and gentlemen fiom Ferrysule, and a sale of useful and ornamental articles. The Llanelly Volunteer Brass Band will be in atten- dance, and cheap trains will run on that day fr< >iii Carmarthen and Ferryside. The object of the whole being such a good one, to liquidate the debt remaining on Kidwelly Parish Church (about £200), we trust it will prove a great success. The Eisteddfod to be held at the Castle on Bank Holiday also is getting near. The chief choral competition will bj "Ffarwel i, ti Gymru fad," for which a prize of £ 30 is offered. The usual meeting of the Town Council was held at the Town Hall on Monday evening. The business done was of no importance. The Petty Sessions were held on Monday, at the Town Hall, before Mr T. Morgan (mayor), and Mr T. W. A. Evans. There was only one case for hearing, that of Dd. Richards, Pwll, Kidwelly, furnaceman, charged on remand by P.S. Jones with being drunk and disorderly at midnight, on the 1st inst.Defendant pleaded guilty also to three previous convictions within 12 months. Fined 7s. (jd. and 8s 8d. cost.

LAUGHARNE ECHOES. (By AUKRCORRAN) Laugharne, Wednesday. THE OMNIBUS RIVALRY. In our last issue I mentioned that another omnibus was going to be run daily to St. Clears station, the proprietor being Mr J. J. Benjamin of the Globe Inn, Laugharne. Mr Benjamin commenced running on Saturday last, but his venture has in no way affected the "old stager (Mr Evan David) in fact, I believe, Mr Evan David has been much bettr patronized since the advent of the new saloon omnibus. The "new broom has failed to sweep off Mr Evan David's passengers, and the rush for the G. W.R. break is tremendous. SINKING OF THE SMACK "HENRY." Monday last was a soaking wet day, and a strong southerly wind prevailed, doing much mischief along the coast. I much regret to state that the smack Henry (of Llanstephan), experienced the force of wind and tide with disastrous results. It appears that the Henry (Mr John Childs, skipper; was laden with coal, and lay in Carmarthen river. The force of wind and tide caused her to drag her anchor, and drifting in to the shore she soon sank Intense excitement prevailed in the villageof Llanstephan, for the skipper was seen clinging to the rigging in imminent peril. The life-boat was immediately manned, and lie was soon released from his perilous position. From what I can glean it appears that the smack is likely to become a total wreck. The same evening, Mr Ernest St. George Kaye's boat was damaged by being dashed against the rocks, and Mr Peel's boat, "The Gwenny," got away from her moorings, but escaped injury.

THE AMALGAMATION OF LLOYD'S AND WILKINS' BANKS. MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS AT BIRMINGHAM, A special general meeting of the shareholders in Lloyd's Banking Company (Limited) was held on Monday afternoon at the Midland Institute, Birm- ingham, for the proposed ratifying or otherwise of a provisional agreement which the directors had entered into for the acquisition of the banking business of Messrs. Wilkins and Co., at Cardiff, Brecon, Carmarthen, Dowlais, and other places in South Wales. Mr Thomas Salt, M.P., chairman of Lloyd's, presided, and there was a full attendance of directors, but only a small number of share- holders were present. The Chairmaa, in moving a resolution confirm ing the provisional agreement referred to, said it was impossible to explain in detail the terms of purchase, but the business of Messrs Wilkins was one with which Lloyd's had had a long connection as its London correspondent, and, though the directors of Lloyd's were not anxious to extend their business, when they heard that the proprietors of the South Wales bank were desirous, from wise and prudential motives, to convert a private bank into a joint stock concern, they felt it was an opportunity to extend their connection in South Wales which they ought not to let slip. The bank which they proposed, with the consent of the share- holders to acquire was one of the best private banks in the country, whose financial position bad been found to be, after strict investigation, above all criticism. Lloyd's would take it over on such terms that they ran absolutely no risk whatever. (Hear, hear.) They took it over absolutely clean, and, what was unusual in the transaction of that kind, they took over a business which, from its location & history, was capable of large and progressive im- provement. (Hear, hear). They were buying, not only the present, but a very valuable future. The deposits were large, and these were well spread in loans and sound banking investments. As he bad said he was not in a position to disclose the precise terms of purchase, but the terms were mutuillly and largely advantageous and satisfactory, and such that they would not add a penny to the purchase account of Lloyd's. There was an impres- sion that this was a very large account, but it vas really very small, and at the next annual meeting the directors hoped to be able to tell the share- holders that it was wiped out altogether. (Hear, hear). On every ground he considered the step proposed a sound and wise one. Mr J. Spencer Phillips (deputy-chairman), seconded the resolution, and said the circumstances of banking bad entirely changed in recent years, and Messrs. Wi!kins had wisely elected to dispose of their business when it was at the zenith of its prosperity. He believed the purchase would turn out to be the most advantageous one for the share- holders of Lloyd's. 0 In answer to shareholders, the Chairman said the senior partner of Messrs Wilkins and Co. would join the board of Lloyd's, and two of the other partners would be closely associated with the management of the bank. There were 6 partners in all, and the other three would give loyal and constant assistance. The bank bad business at Cardiff, Brecon, Llanelly, Merthyr, Carmarthen, Cardigan, Haverfordwest, Aberdare, and Dowlais. A shareholder having pressed for some idea of the terms of purchase, the Chairman said it was im- possible that he should give this information publicly, however interesting it might, be and how- ever willing he might personally be. The effect of doing so would be to prevent any further negotia- tions with Lloyd's, because people desirous to sell could not trust them to keep secret matters which were essentially private, or, at all events, to render their position in negotiations of that kind in the future exceedingly difficult. The resolution was supported by several share- holders, and unanimously approved.

NEWCASTLE EMLYN. TEIFY BOARD OF CONSERVATORS — The quarterly meeting of this board was held at the Salutation-hall, Newcastle Emlyn, on Friday, Mr Thomas Harries presiding.—A motion of Mr John Rees to reduce the scale of licence duties for draught and coracle nets one-half was adjourned until the next quarterly meeting.— On the motion of the Rev. John Griffiths, seconded by Mr E. C. Phillips, the close season in the Tivy for all modes of fishing, except rod and line, was altered so as to open three weeks in September and take away three weeks in February. —It was, however, pointed out that a similiar resolution had been passed by the old board and refused by the Board of Trade, which would doubtless be in the case with the present motion.—The alteration was carried by seven votes to five.-A motion was carried by eleven to two that the scale of licence duties for trout licence be altered by allowing night lines at Is per dozen.-Tlio meeting lasted about three hours.
