The annual sports in connection wuh tins insti- tution were favoured with better weather this year than last, and the proceedings on Thursday were most succesflll in every respect. These sports are a great attraction to the townsfolk owing to the variety in the events. The band of the 1st V.

BYGONE DAYS (After the style of Burns' "Should auld acquain- tance be forgot.") Oh sweet to me in distant lands, Was welcome's kiudly rays, But sweeter yet to meet again A friend of bygone days. For auld lang syne, my dear. For auld lang syne We'll cheer the heart, before we part, For auld latig syne. In childhood's golden hours we played, And strayed o'er hill and plain And oh what bliss to treasure yet, The days of auld lang syne For auld lang syne, my dear, itc. I Through all the changes of my life, In strife or peace benign, I have not lost,-nor e'er shall lose The love for auld lang syne. For auld lang syne, my dear, &c. "While Cymric fire burns in my breast, And bardic pift is mine, Oh dearer than all else will be, The days of auld lang sync!

THE RE-OPENING OF LLANYCRWYS CHURCH. On Friday, June 24th, being St. John Baptist's Day, the parish Church of Llanycrwys was re- opened, after complete restoration. The Church, as restored, consists of a nave, chancel, vestry, and porch—the two latter being additions. It is a very simple structure, erected apparently in the 12th century. It measures internally 43ft. 8in. long by 19ft. wide, and before restoration there was no division to mark the relative extent of nave and chancel. In ancient times was was evidently a screen and rood loft, the staircase to which still exists on the north side, and it is quite possible that the name by which the Church is known was derived from the Hood" or Crucifix which stood upon the loft. The rood loft and j stair case were probably additions of the 15th cen- tury. The baptismal font, it is stated, is older than the Church. With the exception of the bowl of the font and the staircase to the rood loft, aud the small windows, which arc original, all else is modern The fittings of the Church comprise new seats, pulpit, reading desk, stalls, Holy Communion table, polished brass eagle lectern and rails. One very important feature in the internal arrange- n._ ments is the warming of the building, and this will be done by means of Porrat's Underground Stove." Without going further into minute details, it may here be mentioned that Mr Evan Christian, of London, was retaiued as architect. The contractor was Mr David Davies, Bryncrach, Llanycrwys. In response to the announcement that the Church would be re-opened on Friday, a large con- cotirse of people gathered together to take part in the religious services, by means of which it was proposed to celebrate the evebt. Amongst the clergy and others present were—His Lordship the Bishop of the Diocese, the Ven. Archdeacon Gritiiths, of Llandaff; the Revs Canon Walter Thotnds, of Bangor; D Jones, Lampeter, Rural Dean, and Mra Jones; the Warden of Llan- doviry, Miss Evans and Mrs Owen, The Deanery. St. Asaph; R Jenkins. Bettws C Chidlow and Mrs Chidlow, Caio; J Lewis, curate of Llansawel; D Williams, Llandyrnog; D Davies, Llanganten; T Harries, Llandrinw; Professor Williams, St. David's College, Lampeter; D Jones and Mrs Jones, Llansadwrn; J Davies and Mrs Davies, Llanllwni; B Parry Griffiths, Llanybyther; W Davies, curate of do.; J H Lloyd, Talley; T M Davies, Blaenpennal; T Davies, Gartheli; D Worthington, Lhingeitho; W Williams, Llan- ciwys; J R Jones, Vicar Choral St. David's; H Evans, curate of St. David's, J H Thomas, currte of Bistre; J Jones, curate of Borse; E W Evans curate of Lampeter; J Lloyd, curate of Llan- sadwrn; D D Evans, Pencarreg; and E Davies. curate of Pencarreg; Mrs Basil Jones, Abergwili Palace; Lieut.-General Sir James Hills-Johnes, K.C.B., V.C., Lady Hills-Johnes and Mrs Joiines, Dolaucothy; Sir James Drummond, Bart., and Lady Drummond, Edwinsford, and friends; Mr Lloyd and Mrs Lloyd, Llangadock; Mrs Long Price, A;c. The morning service commenced with Matins, followed by the confirmation of three young people, who had been on the previous Sunday baptised by immersion in the river Twrch. The service was read by the Rev D D Evans, and the first and second Lessons by the Hev D Williams and D Davies respectively, both being natives of the parish. The Lord Bishop of St. David s preached in English from St. Matt. xi. 12, "From the days of John the B iptist till now the Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, &c." Speaking of the Church, his Lordship thought it was as beautiful as it wa? 700 years ago, and reminded the congregation that the work carried out meant money. 0 Ho appealed to them to contribute and support those who had been engaged in the loving work of carrying out that restoration. His Lordship then gave a short and graphic account of the surprise caused by the appearance of the. Baptist, the reality of his life and teacbing; and the consequent result described in the text of numbers of men of all classes violently pressing into the Kingdom of Heaven just like people crowding into a little building. In this age the same violence was to be prayed for, so that the Church might be pressed into, and Christianity again be a spirit and a life as in its first days. After the sermon was ended a celebration of the Holy Communion took place, in whicn the Bishop was the celebrant, assisted by the Rural Dean, Canon Walter Thomas, Revs D D Evans, and C Chidlow. The number of communicants was 93, and the offertories CIS Its 3id, which, with the money collected in the afternoon and evening services, made a total of £2.5 12s 3d. After the sorvice luncheon was provided in an adjoining barn which was really fitted up quite wonderfully for theoccision, and a large number of clergy and others sat down. Lieut.-Gen. Sir Hills-Johnes presiding. The usual loyal toasts were drunk, and due thanks returned by the Vicar of Pencarreg to the Bishop for coming there, and to all Churchmen and Nonconformists who had contributed to the funds.- The Bishop responded, expressing the pleasure he had from his first visit to that beautiful parish which was oueof the few he had not visited in his diocese. He was Jad to see the members on that day, though the Church was uncomfortably full. He was quoted the other day by Mr S TEvans, M.P., or rather mis-quoted for a remark which he ha.d made. What he said was that in the large populations the Churches were full, when lie went to otheis in country parishes they were crammed as they were that day, and it was evident from the number of com- municants present that a large proportion of them were Church people. His Lordship also expressed himself as highly pleased with the excellent sing- ing he had heard that morning in Church. Owing to the large congregations it was deemed advisable in the afternoon and evening to have the services in the Churchyard. The Litany was read by the Rev D Divies, Llanganteu, and the Ven. Archdeacon Griffiths, of Llandaff, preached in bis usually eloquent style from Psalm exxii. I., I was glad when they said unto me let 11s go into the honse of the Lord. The evening service was read by the Rev H Evans, a. former curate of the parish, and the lessons by the Rev J R Jones, St David's, and the Rev D Williams, Llandyrnog, preached an able, instructive and impressive sermon which revitted the attention of the vaot congregation for over an hour. Ilis text was St Mark vii., 32, 23. The contingent from Pencarreg was large, and food was provided in an adjoining field at the ex- pense of the good vicar. The farmers of the neighbourhood also vied with each other to show every hospitality, which is natural to them; It is only fair to add that bad it not been for the advice, encouragement, and substantial contribuions of the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, Lieut.-Gen. Sir James Hills-Johnes, Lady Hills-Johnes, Mrs Johnes, Sir R H Davies, K.C.S.I., llhosybedw, and 20, Hyde Park Gate, S.W., Mrs Lloyd, Brunant, and Mrs Methuen, of Avonwood, Clifton Down at the outset the much needed restoration of Llanycrwys Church would not probably have been undertaken. The parishioners, also considering their circum- stances, have shown their appreciation of the move- ment, and contributed liberally towards the restoration—both Churchmen, and Nonconformists ¡-aud all without exception have done what could fairly be expected from them. They remembered that the ashes of their relations lay beneath the shadow of the Church—and that it had been the shrine of religion from the 12th century at least. Friends of the Church at a distance were appealed to, and responded liberally, and the result is the neat and decent structure which is now well suited for its sacred purposes in the locality. The handsome altar cloth is the gift of Miss Cookman. The polished brass eagle lectern, with a suitable inscription, has been generously given as a memorial of the late rev. Mr and Mrs Johnes, of i)olaucothv bv tliei-, affectionate and loving daughters. lrs Johnes has also kindly presented a polished brass lectern for the Communion Table. A long kneeler before the Communion Rails is be- ino- worked by Mrs Jones, Lampeter Vicarage, and friends—the material for which was presented by J Gresswell, of Oxford. The S.P.C.K. made a grant of Welsh Service Books, consisting of a Bible, Prayer Book, and Communion Book, 80' A:2 7s. The cost of restoration was from £ 750 to £800. Most of the money has been subscribed.

AMMANFORD. RESIGNATION OF MR. CONSI'ANTINI;.— It is with deep regret, we notice that Mr Constantino, head master of the Board schools has decided to retire from his profession, and seek repose in seclusion. He has occupied the position which he now vol- untarily relinquishes for the last twenty-five years, and it redounds to his credit and honour that he is being held in high esteem by all classes of people, as an amiable schoolmaster, a kind neighbour, and unassuming citizen. His loss will be keenly felt. A meeting was held the other eveiiiig to r_1 take into consideration the desirability of present- ing him with a testimonial, as a token of regard and affection upon his retirement from a pro- fession to which he has renùered such signal service. cl

CARMARTHEN TOWN COUNCIL. ) A special meeting of the Carmarthen Town Council, held at the Guildhall, on Monday, the mayor (Mr T. Jenkins) presiding. Therè were also present Mr T.

Lewis Hughes), the surveyor (Mr John Morgan), and the Super- intendent of Police (Mr T. Smith). \I'I'OIYf\IET OF RETUKNMN1 OFFXCFI;. The Mayor said the first business they had to transact was to appoint a returning officer for the Eistern Ward in the room of the late Aid. J. Nl(,ri-is.-Aldermaii C. N\ Joi.es ol)-cr\,e(I that it was an annual appointment, -The Clel k There is an election now pending. That is why it is necessary to make the appointment now.— Aklermau C. W. Jones proposed, and Alderman Rowlands seconded, that Alderman R. W. Richaids be appointed returning ()thcer f r tiie Eastern Ward, and the motion was agreed to. THE MAYOKAL CHAIN—MEMBERS BACKWARD IN SUBSCRIBING. The Mayor said that the next question was to provide the unpaid balance in connection with the mayoral chain. They were ju t a few pounds short of the required amount, and they had kept the maker a long time without payment. Some gentlemen, who had promised subscriptions, had not yet paid. A sum of ti; 4s 7d was un- provided for. If they had the promised sub- scriptions, that sum would be met. Mr Jaiiie, Davies As you know, Mr Mayor, I was totally against it, but I will pay my subscription (Ali Davies then handed in £ 2 2s, and was much ap- plau-ecl).-A.layor The other gentlemen are Mr Evan Jones and Mr W. R Edwards. \Ve can draw a cheque on the borough accnmt for E6 4s 7d, and pay it back again. — Alderman C. W. Jones If these two gentlemen will fultii their promises it will be alright. Mr Jaine* Davies I should not like to draw 011 the borough account for the ratepayers to say that the chain was paid for out of the rates and taxes. -Town Clerk Mr W. R. Edwards has promised if you ask him personally he will pay in a minute. --Mr Cadle Mr John Lewis, Johnstown, will see that lie hands it over (laughter). I hope the reporters will put the names of the backward ones in for the public to know (hear, hear).— Alderman C. W. Jones I propose that the Town Clerk's managing clerk should go and see the men personally, the money will then come in before the evening. Alderman J. Lewis I move an amendment that Alderman C. W. Jones go round himself and collect the money (laughter). At this point Mr Evan Jones entered the room, and on being tackled by the Mayor, he promised to send in a cheque for jE2 2s that day. It was decided that the Clerk should see Mr W. It. Edwards periotially.A discussion followed as to the inscriptions to be placed on the links, and it was decided that the name and year of office of each ex-mayor at present on the Council be in- scribed on the several links at the expense of the ex-mayors. THE WATER St,'IIE.ITE. -ANOTIFE, P. STEP FOR WARD. The Council then formed itself into a com- mittee oil the question of water supply. Toe Town Clerk said that, according to the Council's instructions, he wrote to ask Mr J. A. -B. Williams, Cardiff Waterworks' engineer, what his terms would be for visiting the Pentremawi springs and reporting on the plans of the surveyor and the scheme generally. Mr Williams replied that his terms would be £7 7* a day and travelling expenses, and C;5 5; a day for preparing rel)orts.Alr James Davies These charges are ridiculous, shameful. — Alderman C W. Jones They are prohibitive. — The Mayor We must procure the services of some com petent engineer, and we cannot get a man cheaper. — Alderman Rowlands and Mr Evan Jones expressed doubts that the supply from Pentremawr was sufficient. An oppositt view was taken by the great majority of those z, present. —Ultimately, on the motion of Mr D. E. Williams, the following gentlemen were ap- pointed as a committee to arrange all pre- liminaries, with p nver to employ an engineer, etc. :-Ale."rs T. Davies, Daniel Jones, John Lewis (Johnstown), Evan Jones and II. Cadle, together with the Mayor and Town Clerk. The Committee will meet on Friday (to-day). The Town Clerk was directed to write to other engineers in the meantime for their terms.

LLANDOVERY. I lie THE SHOCKING DISCOVERY AT LLANDOVERY. -At a special sessions held on Friday before Messrs Pelliam Thursby Pelliam, (jeorge Jones. and Captain Jeffreys, Anne. Williams, late of Nantgwyn, Rhandermwyn touching the death of whose child our readers will rememher a coroner's enquiry was held at the town hall on Monday, when an open verdict of found dead was returned was brought up in custody by P.S. Williams, and charged with consoalinv the birth of the said child in a field near Llandovery on the 7th inst. The evidence tendered on the present occassion, was the same as that given at the inquest, a full report of which appeared in out- last issue. No additional facts were adduced. The witnesses were Mr Daniel Thomas, Nant- gwyn, Khandinnwyn, and P.S. W illiams. Owing to the intense interest taken in the affair, despite the fact that the time at which the magistrates would sit was not known definitely, there was a fairly good attendance during the hearing, which increased as the case progressed. Prisoner was committed for trial at the next Carmarthenshire I Assizes which will be held on the Ilitli prox. Albert Lane, from the Middle- sex Reformatory School, aged 20, who was lately engaged as a postboy at the North W estern Hotel, at Llandovery, was charged by P.S. Wiliiams with stealing a pair of boots from TynllwydFarm, Mothvey, on the 18th inst. Witness sworn, said that in consequence of information he received concerning the prisoner, whom he saw driving a orako near Velindre 011 the 21st inst., he went on to him, examined his boots, and questioned him as to where he had them. Prisoner replied that he had bought them in Liverpool for 7s Gd. But upon guillJ to the North Western Hotel, and taking them off, the witness fouud them to mswer the description of the boots stolen from Tynllwyd, and thereupon charged the prisoner vith the t'left. He was also charge I with mother offence committed by him in Breconshire. Prisoner replied that he knew nothing about that ■sharge, but admitted that he was guilty of steal- ing the boots. He was then locked up.—The next witness Morgan John Morgans a servant at Tynllwyd said that the boots (produced) were his property. He valued them at 10s. He la t saw ciiein 111 hii bedroom above the stable at Tynllwyd ibout 8 a.m.. on Saturday. U,1 Sunday itioriiiii4 last about 10 he missed them. He saw the prisoner with a horse and carriage at Tynllwyd tarui ou the 18th inst. Being fair day there were a good many people about the yard and stable. He was certain prisoner was one. He <new nothing that the prisoner had taken the boots till told by the sergeant. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to one calendar ruoii,li I with hard labour at the expiration of which time he will be rearrested by the Breconshire police on the charge of stealing a horse's bit and curb value 153 from the Railway and l'sk Hotel, Sennybridge, which was found by P.S. Williams, at Llandovery ou the 22nd inst. J VOLUNTEER leitrll on good luthority that the cost of a new battalion of volunteers for Carmarthenshire will be included in the estimate from the War Ortice this year. So if the estimate is passed L'andoveryians may look forward to the realization of their hope 'or the establisment of a corpse in their midst ere long. My won't our smart young men then 4et sweet revenge on the girls that cruelly cut hem in their pre-uniform days. CURIOUS DISCOVERY. —We have just received the following interesting details concerning a curious discovery at Ciiycwin. Mr Evan Prit- chard, of Penstackan, near Llandovery, farmer, while lately on the Khumanallan mountain, looking after his sheep, came acros a dead pigeon .,i 11 evidently killed by a hawk as there was nothing remaining but the head and wings. Judging rrom what was left, one would think it was iilled that morning. (Ju examinition the finder iiscovered printed on one of the wings in red ink" 1)0 Worcester" on one of the inner quills. It is hoped by the insertion of these facts that the owner will come to know what befel lis illfated pigeon, and thereupon let us know its history, which will doubtless prove very interesting, as undoubtedly it must have wander- dd a lot before it came so far from its home. The quill is still with the tinder, Mr Pritchard, who will be pleased to show it to anyone interested. DEATH.—It is with feeling of deep regret that we have this week to announce the death of Mr William Thomas, Coalbrook, after a short, but painful illness. The de ceased, for many years, held the position of e igine-drivor under the London and North Western Railway, and was much respected by his fellow employes. The deceased leaves a widow with eleven children to noun-i his loss, with whom, it is needless to say, the inhabitants of Llandovery sincerely condole in their great and irreparable loss. The funeral, which was undoubtedly the largest beheld tt Llandovery for some time, took place on Sunday. It was at tended by thousands. Among the solemn corteyf were most of t he railway employes of the district' The Rev J Williams, curate, officiated. Several floral tributes were placed on the grave among the number being one from his fellow employes at Llandovery station. ScHOJi. THIS AT. — On the occasion of the marriage of Mr C. P. Lewis, and Miss E. Walters, the children attending the British and National schools were entertaiuscl to excellent tea and cake, and other delicacies by the bride and bridegroom. The following ladies kindly presided over the tables at the two schools. British school, Mrs T. X. Jones, Castle v-ew Mrs Davies, Victoria Brewery Mrs Thomas, Bel- mount House Mrs Davies, Oak House Miss Morgan, mistress of infant school, and the female teaching stall". National school, Mrs and Miss Hardwick; Miss Barratt Miss Wiiliams, Gollen House, and the Sunday school teachers. On the same day the inhabitants of Llanwrda and Llall- sadwrn, a large number of whom are Mr P. C. Lewis' tenants, celebrated the occasion in a right merry style. In the afternoon sports, etc., Were held at "Pigin Tabor," where all comers were bountifully regaled with tea and cake of which latter the quantity consumed must have be con- siderable, when the fact is taken into considera- tion that there were between eight hundred and a thousand on the peak, which commands a splendid view of the surrounding country for miles around. The cake was supplied by Mr D \V. Jeffreys, grocgr, Stone-street. Liquid refresh- ments of various kinds were also distributed to the adult portion of the crowd, and all appeared to enjoy them thoroughly.

How could it be otherwise, for were they not skilfully led by their general leader, Billy Howells, whose pleasant face on such occasions is always an indication of soothing enjoy- ment.

SAO NATALITY. —A singularly sad afl'air has just occurred at Tregaron in the drowning of a bright and promising boy from that town. Young D. O. T.tomas("D.)t,"ashcwasatiectionate!y known by his schoolmates) was the FOU of PiJice- coustable Thomas, formerly of Yttrad, Cardigan- c;1 shire, now of Tregaron. At a very early age he y z;) won an exhibition at St. David's College School, Lampeter, where he soon established a reputation as the most brilliant boy in the school. He passed the London Matriculation Examination some years ago, end then, under the care of the Rev T. M. Evans, iNI. A., prepared for a history scholarship at St. David's College. In this he succeeded and won the highest entrance scholar- sliij) list year, olitiiiiiii-, the "blue ribbon" of the first year-the Bates Prize. He had only just been sitting for his moderations examination I at Lampeter—the result of which will be an- nounced a few days hence—and was now home for the summer holidays. On Friday lie was expected home all day by his parents, and at dawn on Saturday his father came across his clothes on the banks of a neighbouring river, whe e his son had been drowned -woile ba'hiog.

I.'s annual repot t, continues to be conducted satisfactorily. The grants earned this yeai, which reached the sum of something over 20s per child in average attendance, is tho largest ever earned by this school. We are pleased to note too, that the grants earned for drawing," which in most schools taken up last year for the first time, were higher than those obtained by any of the schools under the Board, aud indeed higher, as we venture to believe, thap. any school within a considerable circuit.
