LLANDYSSUL. KING'S HEAD CM'B.-OD Welnesdiy, the 22nd inst., the annual feas day of the club assembling at the King's Head Hotel took p'ace with mo) (i ceremony than usual. Since tho transference (I' the rdub to its present quartera, it IiiLs not paraded through the streets of the town, but has satisfied itself with a quiet dismiss. This year between 12 and 1 p.m., the melodious strains of the Llysnewydd band, under the leadership of Mr Simuel Jones, were heard at the King's Head Hotel whence they paraded the streets of the town, first going to Pontwelly, then back again to the rortn liotel, and nnally returning to its present headq larters. After this, an excellent dinner, well served, was provided at the Assembly Rooms, the Revs, W. Lewis and W. J. Daries being present as guests. The remainder of the afternoon HRS very pleasantly spent, inasmuch as the ban 1 1 liyed excellent instrumental pieces. The club is entit lel "The Christmas Friendly Society." Its officer- are: President, Mr John Thomas, Penfron acting secretary, Mr D. Bo-ten Jones, secretary, Mr Jonithan Jones; treasurer, Mr J. S. Jones, King's Head Hotel. The present trustees are, Messrs S. Evans, the Shop, J. Evans. solicitor, and W, James, of the Stores, the h3t named gentleman filling the position so long and so honourably held by his lamented father, Mr John James, Troedyrhiw. Auditors, Messrs J. W, Jones and J. D. Lewis. The club, which was established in 1872, at the end of last year numbered 128 members, and is steadily increasing. At the close of the year it was worth £535 58 Old, having gained 441 6s during the year. From this it will be seen it is worth Xi 3i 7jd per member, a very strong position indeed. We wish it succesj in the future. SALE.—On Wednesday, the 22ad inst., Mr D. Evans, Gorrig, sold the furniture, &c., which lately obtained at Twelly Villa, the tenancy of which has now been given up by Mr Jones, coal merchant. The goods eold realised good prices, and there was a very good attendance. GENERAL ELECTION.—Mr W. Jones. the Liberal Unionist candidate for Cardiganshire, has just caused his address to be placarded on the ivalls of the town, but we understand that the gentleman does not intend to address the Llandyssulites. From inquiries made by your correspondent he learns that the reason of this is his fear of a stormy meeting. A committee has just been formed to support the candidature of Mr Bowen Rowlands, and means to work energetically. Rev. T. Thomas has been appointed sub-agent for the northern district, and Mr J. D. Lewis for the southern district. 011 the other hand, Mr T. H. Davies, solicito-, has been appointed Mr Jones's sub- agent. DEATH OF AN OLD FISHERMAN.—Mr Thomas Jones, fisherman, of this town, has quitted this mortal scene. He died on Friday, June the 24tb, aged 58 years, and was buried at Penybont on the following Monday, when the Rev. W. Latvia officiated. Mr Jones was such a skilful fisherman that he attracted in attention of Mr A. Weinholt. who engaged him to accompany himself to France, Germany, Ireland, &c., so as to engage in the piscatorial art. Mr Jones received from his p vtron the sum of .£24 per annum during his life time. He leaves a widow and six children to mourn hi loss. CRICKET,-On Wednesday, the 22ud inst., a match was played between Lampeter and Lhn. dyssul on the Wilke's Head field. Fresh from the laurels they had won the preceding Saturday, the Llandyssulites ought to have put the same team on the field so as to try conclusions with the bowling of another town. Uufortunately, this they failed to do, and as their tail'' was by far too long it was evident when the first four batsmen were out, it was all up with Llandyssul. Some- how or other, Mr T. H. D.ivies, the vice-captain, never comes off gloriously in a match. He is a good fieldsman-were he to bat more carefully, he might now and then make a little" pile." The brothers Hall are very active and are excellent all round cricketers. Judging by results they are the Graces of the team—they are as active as squirrels and excellent bowlers, and good bats to boot. When they fail and the shades of the 2nd pair, Lloyd (Captain) and Thomas, arc not visible, why, "dash it all," to use an expressive phrase of a sharp little cricketer, Llandyssul is nowhere. In the 2nd innings, P. L'estrange batted well, but lie could not get a partner to stay in with him. Had one chance for a catch been taken by a L lan- dyssulite (a promising young cricketer and an acquisition to the club), the Lampeter crack scores would have fared a great deal worse and a different result might have been recorded. However, we must remember there are spots on the sun. A word of special praise is due to Messrs J R. Evans and J. S. Jones for their excellent bowling, and to the Rev. T. Davies and J. Ll. Jones for their batting, Another gentleman, Mr S. D. Jones, batted very carefully. The Rev. W. J. Davies and a Lampeter gentleman, whose name did not transpire, acted as umpires. Appended is the full score LL. I)YSSUL.

Inasmuch as the Llandyssulites had been defeated on the previous Wednesday, aud it was known (so the rumour goes) that the same Lampeter men were going to bowl, they took up a different team to Llanybyther, and their expectations of a victory were very high indeed. As the wagonettes slid along, the cricketers' spirits were high indeed, and as they stopped at Waunifor to pick up the genial squire, the hero of innumerable drives made his appearance surrounded by his children a very picture of happiness, the absence of Mrs Lloyd alone was wanting in order to term it perfect. Victory was indelibly written on the brow of every Llandyssulite. But alas! they were doomed to disappointment because the Llanybytherites first of all told them on their arrival in the town—that requires looking after judging from the dilapidated condition of its bridge (where is the county council?)—that the match was to come off at Highmead. Thither they went, but no Llanybyther team arrived. Once on the Highmead grounds their disappointment was tempered by the geniality and kindntss of Mr Bertie Evans, B.A., who has jU3t returned from Cambridge with high academical honours, and ▼arious games were indulged in, sucjj as gve8j cricket, and billiards, while the inner man was most sumptuously attended to, thanks to our host. Although like the gallant Duke of York and his raen we -1 marched to Llanybyther and marched back again without encountering a foe, yet twas a famous victory over the e%il spin's that arose through the action, or rather inaction of the cricketers of Llanybyther. How would feel had they been so treated by Llandyssul it Heeds no prophet to tell. MANORDEILO. OUIING.—The annual outing of the St. Paul 9 Church Sunday School, given by Col. Richardson, of Glanbrydan Park, came off on Thursday, 23rd June, the scholars having unanimously selected Llandrindod Wells as the place of their destina- tion. The party numbering about 200 left Talley Road andlaurhy j stations by the 6.15 0, Ill. train from Swansea, and returned by the 6.25 p.m. train from Craven Arms. Splendid leather prevailing the party enjoyed themselves to their hearts' content. Excellent fares were provided, as usual, through the kindness of Mrs Richardson and Miss Lewis, of Capel-issa, to which ample justice was done. All the party arrived home in the best of spirits after having spetit a most enjoyable day.
