The Neuaddfawr Hounds. Vhese foxhounds had a capital day's sport on Monday, the 9th inst., and although the meet, Tregroes, on the borders of their country, is an I out-of-the-way place, the field was supplemented by a large contingent from the Tivyside. In addi- tion to the popular master (Mrs Hughes) and the hunt servants, all well turned out, we noticed Colonel and Mrs Newland, Mr and Miss Fitzwil- liarns, Mr and Miss Lb-yd, Gilfachwen Major Cass, D.S.O., Mr A. H. Jones, Pen'rallt Mr Lewes Bo wen, Mr Jones, Gellifaharen several sporting gentlemen, and others. After drawing a couple of covers blank, we found a rare good fox in Cwmhygar gorse, who very soon set us gallop- ing and jumping for all we were worth over a nice banking country, along the right side of the Cerdin Valley, leaviug Penlan on the right and Cwmul on the left, now pointing straight for that well-known resort of foxes, the Pen'ralltfachnog dingle, but on reaching the main road near Dolifor the hounds, fortunately for riders, came to a check, our fox having evidently been headed, and here we had a minute or two to look about us. The pace up to this point bad been a cracker, and the country deep and heavy. The view from here was grand in the foreground the river Ttvy meandering along through a beautiful sylvan valley, glittering in the sun like silver, with the mountain ranges of Breconshire and Precelly as background and in the far distance but there was no more time for admiration except for the hounds, who again hit off the line, and away we went, dashing along as hard as ever, and how straight they ran, to be sure, over that open coun- try between Penrhiwllan and Ffostrasol, till within a short distance of the latter place, where they bent to the right, and across the Cerdin Valley by Blaencerdin, skirting the moor by Alltmaen, and on as if for the strong earths at Lawrooi-irt but, finding the hounds in too close attendance, pre- ferred, like the good fox he was, to his own pluck and endurance and an open country, to a safe re- fuge underground. He now faced for Talgarreg, but the wire in this district interfered very much with our going. However, we could see the hounds a few fields off racing along, and within a few hundred yards from Postbach, running from scent to view, pulled a gallant fox down as he was jumping, or rather trying to jump, the hedge into the main road to New Quay time, one hour forty minutes. Mrs Hughes may well be congratulated on this excellent run, which we all enjoyed most thor- oughly. So far this pack has bad quite a good season, and, although the number ot h kills" has not been, perhaps, so numerous as with other packs, the sport shown has made up any deficiency in that respect and after all that is what good sportsmen wish for. TYSSULITE, Another correspondent writes:-On Monday, the 16th inst., the above famous pack met at Neuadd- Llanarth, where a large company of the friends of the cause had assembled, both on foot and on horse- back, and some even on "iron horses." Mrs Tobit Evans had kindly provided a sumptuous breakfast for the occasion, and, after ample justice had been done to the same by those present, Mrs Hughes, the gentle and good-natured lady-M.F.H., mounted her noble steed, and the hounds were drawn up on the lawn in front of the house. A start was immediately made through the pretty glen in the direction of Nanty- gwrdu, where Reynard had quite recently given ample evidence of his presence. Among those who followed were Mr Thomas Thomas and Mrs Thomas, of Hen- berrow, Gloucestershire (who are on a visit toNeuadd- Ltanarth, Mr Thomas's old home) Mr Stewart Men- zies, Mabws Mr Munro-Hughes, Aberayron Mr Sterry, Neuadd-fawr Miss Myfamvy Evans, Neuadd- Llanarth Miss Longcroft, Llanina Mr J Griffiths, Nantgwynfynydd Mr T Jenkins, Pontfaen Mr W Davies, Panne Dr Roger Griffiths, New Quay Mr Davies, Goitre; Mr Thomas, Ffynongloch; Mr Richard, Cnwc-ab-Edward Mr Evan Evans, Llan- arth Mr Enoch Rees, Rhosgoch Mr W Morgan, Penbont; Mr, Mrs, and Master Webb, New Quay Miss K Davies, Cetncoed Mr Arthur Edwards, Lampeter Mr Jenkin Evans, Blaenbargoed Mr J Jenkins, Llwynderw Mr W Rees, Beechwood Mr John Evans, Nantygwrdu, k-r. In a few minutes a fox was started on Nantygwrdu land, which directed his course towards the sea, hounds in full cry following, their music sweetly sounding through the various covers surround- ing Neuadd-Llanarth. Those on foot, owing to the favourable positions they had taken, as well as those on horseback, had several capital opportunities of observing the chase. After running over the Neuadd and Llwynderw lands, Reynard was headed by Bargoed, near the fhigh road leading from Llanarth to Aberayron, and forced to retrace his steps. He did so almost in the same way as he had gone, right through the Neuadd covers again, the hounds following all the time close on his heels. He passed near his old lair, swerved to the left, and then made for Nantyi-of -il, then over Cryngoad and Pen-I yroerfa, and down to Rhiwbren Dingle, crossed the river Mydyr near Rhiwbren Mill, being still closely followed by those on horseback. After traversing over Tycoch, Ffosdwn, and Cil-llwch, he ngain re turned through the river, and climbed the Rhiwhren steep hill, over the top, and managed to find a tem- porary refuge in a rabbit-hole on Llwynyrheol land, within *three or four hundred yards of where he started. He was soon dislodged, and the hounds in their usual merciful manner terminated his career, after a run of about twelve miles or more. The mask was presented to Mrs Thomas, Henberrow, as a momenta of the run, and the brush to Miss fillyfanwy Evans, Neuadd-Llanarth, both of whom had followed all the way, and were present at the death. .Nu sooner was he dispatched, than another, probably A relation was found in the same hole. This one was allowed a chance to save his life, which he availed jtumself of, by showing those presens that he was made of the right stuff. He ranj in the direction of Oakford, and after dodging for a while about Cae- eithm and Pomprendu, lie steered his course towards Cwmsaeson, Nantgwynfynydd-ucnaf, and Penrhiw- I Y Nenaddlwyd. He ultimately succeeded in reaching Llanerchaeron Wcods, below Penrhyn Farm, and found a castle in the ground, from which, owing to ths absence of the necessary engines of war, and the late hour to commence siege operations, he was not driven out. The company parted after enjoying a fine day, :and capital sport.

CARMARTHENSHIRE COUNTY EDUCATION COMMITTEE. To the Edtior of THE JOURNAL. ,SrR,-Allow me a short space in your valuable paper to draw the attention of managers of Voluntary Schools in the county to the proposed scheme for the constitution of an Education Committee under the Education Act, 1902." The County Council has issued a notice to the public in which it is stated that any objections or suggestions respecting the scheme may be made to the Board of Education, in writing, within 30 days from the date of this notice (dated February 26th), addressed to the Secretary, Board of Education, Whitehall, London, S.W." Now, I should like to know whether the scheme is to be accepted by the Voluntary School managers of the county as it is. Personally, I should like to see some changes made in it. The scheme states that the Education Committee is to consist of 25 members, 18 of whom are to be members of the Council, and seven to be selected members, of whom two at least are to be women of educational experience. The following interests are provided for :—"University Education, one member Secondary Education, one member Technical Instruction, one member Elementary Education, two members." I consider that the Elementary Schools are not fairly represented in the above appor- tionment. Three selected members are to represent University, Secondary, and Technical Education, and only two selected members to represent Elementary Education. Surely, the Elementary Schools are entitled to more representatives than the other three put together. If these five members are to be the representatives of these various interests, whose interests are the remaining 20 members to look after ? They are to act, I suppose, as detectives over those five invidious selected members. If these five selected members are to be in the real sense of the word representatives of elementary, &c., education, would it he too much for the Council to allow them to be elected or nominated by the managers, &c., of these elementary schools, &c. ? I find that the Educa- tion Act provides for something like this to be done. Section 17 (3) (b) states Every such scheme shall provide for the appointment by the Council, on the nomination or recommendation, where it appears de- sirable, of other bodies (including the Association of Voltin ta ry" Schools) of persons of experience in educa- tion, and of persons acquainted with the needs of the various kinds of schools in the area for which the Council acts." The italics are mine. Again, in the memorandum issued to County Councils by the Board of Education, 13th January, 1903, Circular 479, under Division V., it is said—" It is probable thac the repre- sentation of certain educational interests within the area of a Council may be effected most satisfactorily by the nomination of a-neniber of the committee by some society within the area, or representative of some educational interest within the area. This course may save the Council some trouble in selection, and may also be most satisfactory to the society which is to be represented. In other cases it might be more convenient that a society should be invited to recom- mnù a representative, or to recommend certain per- sons from whom the Council might choose a repre- sentative." I trust the Council will adopt this part of the memorandum, and that the Association of Schools in the county will endeavour to se.,ure the just boon for the Voluntary Schools. Yours, &c., P' A SCHOOL MANAGER.

Important Church Appointments. THE DEANERY OF ST. DAVID'S AND THE ARCHDEACONRY OF CARDIGAN. The Bishop of St David's has appointed the Rev Chancellor James Allan Smith, D.D., to be dean of his cathedral in the room of the late Dean Howell. The new dean was born in 1846 at Pyecombe, Sussex, his father being the Rev James Allan Smith, vicar of that place. He was educated privately, and proceeded to Wadham College, Oxford, where he graduated in 1863. He was ordained deacon in 1864, and priest in 1865, by the Bishop of London (Dr Tait), and was for two years curate at Holy Trinity, Marylebone. After being lecturer at Boston Parish Church he was appointed by trustees to the vicarage of Holy Trinity, Nottingham, in 1871, and when still under 30 years of age was made by Bishop Christopher Words- worth prebendary of Sanct.e Cruris, in Lincoln Cathedral. The Church Patronage Society appointed him to the vicarage of St Matthew, Swansea, in 1887, and the same patrons promoted him to be vicar of the mother church of Swansea, with the charge of over 20,000 people, in 1894. Here he did splendid service, which was recognised by the Bishop of St David's, who in 1897 made him canon residentiary, chancellor of the cathedral, and chaplain. In 1901 Chancellor Smith accepted from Lord Glanusk the vicarage of Hay, near Hereford. He is of evangelical views, and will carry on Dean Howell's traditions at St David's. It will be noted that, out of the 39 years during which I he has been in holy orders, he has passed 28 as a member of cathedral chapters. The Rev Prebendary Williams, vicar of Holy Trinity at Aberystwyth, has been made Archdeacon of Cardigan, in the place of the late Rev J H Protheroe, vicar of St Michael's, Aberystwyth. The new Arch- deacon is a late scholar of Jesus College, Oxford, where I he took an excellent degree in 1865, proceeding to his M.A. in 1867. He was ordained deacon in 1866. and priested the following year. The whole of his clerical life has been spent in the diocese of St David's. In 1881 he was honorary secretary of the St David's Dio- cesan Conference, and was appointed to a prebendal stall in St David's Cathedral in 1886. Since 1887 he has been vicar of Holy Trinity, Aberystwyth. He is also rural dean of Llanbadarn-fawr, a position similar to which lie occupied some years ago when he was rec- tor of Merthyr, near Carmarthen. He is a sound Churchman, and belongs to the same school of thought as his immediate predecessor.

SOWIXG GRASS SEEDS.—The present is the best time to sow grass seeds either for Permanent and Temporary Pastures or for Alternte Husbandry. As much care should be given to the selection of the seeds as to the preparation of the land. The seeds should be of high germinating power true to name and perfectly clean. Messrs SUTTON & SONS, of Reading, who have had during the past century practical experience in laying down land to glass in all parts of the world, invite correspondence from landowners and farmers contemplating the conversion of arable land into meadows nr pastures. They prepare mixtures of Grasses and Clovers for Alternate Husbandry from lis per acre for Temporary Pastures, from 15s per acre and for Permanent Pastures, from 17s 6d per acre. Full particulars of these prescriptions are given in Sutton's Farmers' Year-Book for 1903, a copy of which may be obtained from Reading post free, on It) plication by Agriculturists.

LOCAL NEWS. To OUR RKADEHS.—Extiaordinary pressure on our space compels us to hold over items of local and dis- trict news. Miss HANCOCKE'S TESTIMONIAL FUND will be kept open till the end of the month. Small subscrip- tions can be paid to Mr E. Colby Eva* s, Guildhall- square. Miss MARY EVAxs, soprano vocalist, pupil of Signor Randegger, and late student at the Royal College of Music, is open to aecept engagements for concerts.— address, Stepney House, Quay-street, Carmarthen nd Scythlyn, Pencader. [2301 SHIPPING ARRIVALS.—The s.s. Bonahaven dis- charged a cargo of 210 tons of Cross's Superphos- phates, Dissolved Bone Compounds, Kainid Nitrate of Soda, &c., at Carmarthen Quay on Saturday last. The manures are in fine condition, and are packed in very strong new bags for Mr Thomas Williams, Blue-street. ALLEGED THEFT BY A MILITIAMAN.—A daring robbery was committed at the Barracks on Tuesday evening and a sum of £45 6s lOd was stolen from one of the stores. One of the men from Sergeant Clarke's company was missing from parade on Wednesday morning, and it is suspected that he is the culprit, Anyhow the information was given to the police, who at once set the machinery of the law in motion with a view to his capture. It was supposed that he had gone to Milford, but P.C Phillips' enquiries proved the the story to be incorrect. Up to the time of going to press, the man whose name is Charles Sinclair (sup- posed to be false), and a native of Islington had shown a clean pair of heels. He was dressed in a brown trilby hat, new dust coat, and a new pair of box calf boots. 1ST V.B. WELSH REGIMENT (Carmarthen Detach- ments—Orders for the week ending Saturday, the 28th March, 1903. Officer on duty, Lieut. Jack Francis. Company orderlies, Sergt J T Davies and Corpl J Seilo. Orderly bugler, H Evans. Parades, &c Company drill on Monday and Thursday at 7.30 p.m. Recruits' drill every week evening (except Thursday and Saturday) at 7.30 p.m. Morris Tube practice on Thursday from 2 p.m., and Saturday from 6 p.m. There are still vacancies for a number of recruits. Persons intending to join should give in their names to the Sergeant-Instructor.—By order, JAMES JOHN, captain commanding detachment. TEMPERANCE.—The weekly meeting of the Carmar- then total abstinence society was held on Sunday last at the new Methodist Chapel Priory-street. The chair was taken by Mr T Davies Water-street, and there was a fair attendance. Addresses were delivered by the chairman, Mr Salter, and Mr 0 C Morgan, 0 C S. A committee meeting was held afterwards, when only the deacons of the Chapel remained behind. TONIC SOLFA ASSOCIATION.—At a meeting of this Association, held at Merthyr on Saturday last, and presided over by Mr D. Jenkins, Mus. Bac., Aberys- twyth, the lion, secretary (Mr J. R. Lewis, Priory- street) was desired to convey votes of condolence to the families of the late Dr Parry, Mr Robert Griffiths (late secretary of the Tonic Solfa College, London), and Mr M. O. Jones, Treherbert.—The next conference will be held at Dowlais on the 15th October next, when Mr J. Spencer Curwen, London, and others will address the meeting. CARMARTHENSHIRE HUNT CLUB.—A meeting of the Carmarthenshire Hunt Club was held on Saturday last at the Boar's Head Hotel, when Mr T. Parkinson, Castle Pygyn, presided over a good attendance.—The chief matter for consideration was the arrangement for the continuation of Mr R. H. Harries, The Croft, St Clears, as Master during the next season. It is satisfactory to learn that everything was arranged so that next season Carmarthenshire may look forward to another successful season under the regime of the popular sporting and excellent Master. Great interest was evinced in the proceedings. The economical rearing of calves and the best and cheapest method feeding them in their early days is a matter of much importance. Some peop'e rear them upon butter, by giving them whole-milk or hand- skimmed milk, but this is wasteful. The food on which they thrive best is separated milk from the Alfa Laval" Separators, enriched with a little oil or other extra food. Th., separated milk is fresh, sweAt and warm calves fed on it never have scour." Thus the farmer obtains a double advantage from using these Alfa La, Separators—more butter and better calves. THE "ALFA LAVAL" SALES EXCEEDTHAT OF ALL OTHERS PUT TOGETHER. AND THEY HAVE RECEIVED OVER 550 FIRST PRIZES.

CARMARTHENSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—A meeting of this Society was held on Saturday at the Boar's Head Hotel, under the presidency of Mr E Lewis, Cillefwr. There were also present Messrs J R Thomas, Towyn D H Thomas, Starling Park R H Harries, The Croft J Francis, Myrtle Hill J Harries, Pihoath J F Rees, M.R.C.V.S H Law- rence, and Herbert Davies, Half Moon Hotel together with the hon sec (Mr Jack Francis, Myrtle Hill).—It was resolved to hold the entire horse show as usual on John Brown's fair, the 15th April, but owing to the new fair ground at the Cattle Market being complete, the Carmarthen Corporation will be approached with a view to securing the Recreation Ground for the holding of the exhibition.—Several first-class men were named as possible judges, and the Secretary was requested to communicate with them in order to aseertain whether they would act if selected. CARMARTHEN LIBERAL ASSOCATION.—The annual meeting of the above Association was held on Friday evening at the Assembly Rooms, when the chair was occupied by the Rev Joseph Harry. There was a very small attendance. The Rev A Fuller Mills (secretary), tated that there were 289 niembes on the books, and they were good sound Libera ron whom they could fall back any time. They had shown their strength at the recent municipal elections, and in a few years' time he hoped to be able to change the whole complexion of the Council.—The Rev Edward Davies proposed the re-election of Principal Evans as president.—Mr H E Richards seconded, and the motion was carried.—On the motion of Mr A J Jones, seconded by Mr Morris Jones, the Rev A F Mills as re-elected secretary and treasurer.—Mr D Williams, J.P., Priory-street; Prof Jones, and Mr H Howell, J.P., were elected vice-presidents.—A dis- cussion took place over the action of the Town Council in postponing the disqualification of Alder- man E Colby Evans until the 1st of November next. It was decided to instruct two of the officials of the Association to get legal advice as to whether the vacancy ought not to have been declared at once.— Mrs H E Richards, Picton-terrace, was unanimously selected as the candidate of the Association to contest the vacancy expected on the Board of Guardians ow- ing to the removal of Miss Hancocke to London. MYDRIM SCHOOL. — In the House of Commons on Friday, Mr Lloyd Morgan (R. Carmarthenshire, W.) asked the Secretary to the Board of Education whether he was aware that no Government giant had been pair" in respect of the elementary school at Mydrim, Carmarthenshire since last May, and that the school was only kept open by the teachers, on their own responsibility; and whether he would state what steps should be taken in order to secure the annual Government grant.—Sir Wm. Anson answered (by paper): As the hon member is, doubtless, aware, the managers of the Mydrim School declared that they were unable to continue the school after May 30 last, and it was accordingly removed from the annual grant list. The Board understand that since that date the school has been conducted as a private adventure school by the headmaster. The trustees or any other responsible body of manageis are at liberty to re- open the school as a public elementary school and to make application for its being again placed on the annual grant list, but the conditions of the Code, as sanctioned by Parliament, make it impossible for the Board of Education to pay grants in respect of a school carried on as a private adventure school. The Church Discipline Bill, promoted by the Liverpool Protestants, was accorded a second reading by a majority of 51. There was a fair degree of unanimity as to the need for a change in the law, though there was disagreement as to method.—Mr Balfour ex- pressed condemnation of the conduct of both the ex- treme ritualists and the extremists on the other side. He promised to endeavotir to relieve the Bishops from the liability to personal expense in the prosecution of disobedient clergy, and he pressed for a more concilia- tory spirit among the factions in the Church. He would have been glal to see the Bill and Mr Cripps's Bill sent to a Committee, but felt bound to oppose the present Bill as it stood alone. BOROUGH POLICE COURT.-Held at the Guild- hall on Monday, before Mr C W Jones, Gwynfryn (in the chair) Mr David Williams, Priory-street and Mr Thomas Thomas, Disgwylfa. Drunk and Disorderly.—Thomas Davies, collier's labourer, was charged with being drunk and dis- orderly.—P.C.

He requested him to go away, and he did so.—Defendant pleaded guilty, and was fined 5s and costs. COUNTY PETTY SESSIONS.-Held at the Guild- hall on Saturday, before Mr D W Drummond (chuirmanl, Mr C W Jones, Gwynfryn (vice-chair- man), and J H Thomas, Gilfach* Alleged Drunkenness. — Walter Evans, labourer, Mill-street, Carmarthen, was summoned for being drunk on the 5th inst.—-P.C. W James, Abergwili, said that he saw defendant in the village of White Mill, about 10 p.m. He was fighting with another man, and was on the I ound. He was drunk, and he assisted defendant into a trap. He had cautioned defendant before in the public-house.—The defendant denied being drunk, and called a witness to prove his sobriety. — The case was dismissed.—Thomas Thomas, farmer, was summoned for a like offence on the same occasion.—Mr H Brunei White, solicitor, defended, and the case was adjourned until the 28th inst.P.S W Thomas charged James Williams, road-labourer, Talog, with being drunk on the 7th inst.—The officer said he found the defendant sleeping on the roadside.—The Bench imposed a fine of 2s 6<1 and costs.

There were 101 in- mates in the House, as compared with 92 last year. 109 tramps had visited the House during the fort- night. Outdoor Relief,—The report of the outdoor relief for the fortnight was as follows :—First week, 953, a decrease of 7 expenditure, JE136 6s 9d, an increase of £3 15s 9d. Second week, 950 paupers, being a decrease of 8 expenditure, £1311s, being an increase of £2 6s 6d. Treasurer s Report. —The Treasurer reported that there was a balance 1 n hand of £2,487 8s 6d. An Increase of Salary Wanted.—A letter was read from Mr Joshua Davies, King's Head, St Clears, asking for an increase of £5 in his salary as assistant overseer.—This was adjourned until the next meeting. RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL.—A meeting of the Carmarthen Rural District Council was held at the Town Hall, at 1 p.m. Mr G Barrett Evans (chair- man of the Council), presided. Laugharne Water and Sanitation.—A letter was read from the Local Government Board asking what steps the Council were taking with regard to the drainage and water supply of Laugharne.—The Coun- cil had a discussion with Mr Harries, of Pilroath, with regard to the offer to let the Council have water from Llandawke at £25 a year. The Council con- sidered the terms too high and it was agreed that Mr Harries convey that view to the others interested in the property, with the object of ascertaining if some lower terms could not be arranged. Mr Raymond's Engine.—Mr E Morgan, surveyor, reported that Mr Raymond was doing great damage to the roads as he was breaking stones with his trac- tion engine in wet weather.—The Clerk You have no power to stop that.—Mr Morgan said he had read in the Daily Mail of a case in Yorkshire in which a Council had recovered jE500 damages against the owner of a traction engine. Mr Raymond's engine was doing about JE30 worth of damage in Laugharne.—Mr Morse What is the weight of the engine.—Mr Mor- gan Ten tons.—Mr John Phillips And there would be eight tons in the trucks.—Mr Morgan said that Mr Raymond contended that on account of the width of his tyre, the weight was not excessive, and therefore, the Council could not interfere with him.—Mr W J Thomas proposed that Mr Browne (the Clerk) write to Mr Raymond, informing him that the Council would hold him responsible for any damage done to the road. —Mr W LI Thomas seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Ferryside Water Supply.—An application from Ferryside for leave to connect with the water supply was granted, but it was decided that in future a fee of 10s be charged for such permission.—Miss Gwyn said that there were many people at Ferryside who used the water, and did not pay the rates. They pro- fessed to have wells, but they fetched watrr from the stand pipes. The people at Roberts Rest farm used the water continually, hut they never paid the rates. —The Clerk said that the rate collectors ought to put such people on the rate book. Pontyberem Water Supply.—A letter was read from Mr James Thomas, Haverfordwest, conveying the terms on which the Rev Mr Puxley could let the Council have the water from Garn Farm. He wanted £200 down (between the Llanelly and Car- marthen District Councils), £10 a year, sufficient water to be left for the needs of the farm, and the Councils to pay the usual costs.—The Clerk said that Mr Thomas had omitted the most important thing— the term for which he could grant the lease. The Local Government Board would not sanction the borrowing of the money except the 'ease were in perpetuity for a very long term—some hundreds of years. Duck Lodge.—Mr Gomer Henry reported that the owner of Duck Lodge, Ferryside, had made an effort to improve the sanitary state of the cottages. It was alleged, however, that the drainage from the slaughter-house got into the stream.—Dr Bowen-Jones said that the place was not fit for a slaughter-house. There was a calf, a chest of meal, several trusses of day, and a lamb a couple of days old there when he saw it. The pavement was very rough, and the blood got into the gutter. The Local Government Board Inspector had condemned the slaughter-house many years ago and it was better then than it was now.—It was decided to call on the owner to carry out all the requirements of the Council. Abergwili and its Water Supply.—Mr J. G. Davies said that all the water taps at Abergwili were out of repair.—The assistant clerk (Mr Saer) said there was £5 3s 3d due against the Abergwili water supply. The j people could not have supply when they would not pay for it. They did not pay the rates.—The Clerk said that they had no caretaker now.—Mr Davies It is no good having a caretaker there, because he has nothing to take caie of.—This was all the business.

ABERGWiLI. SAD DEATH.—Our readers will hear with the deepest regret of the sad death of Mrs Evans, wife of Mr Walter Evans, Ffosygest, which took place on Tuesday, from child birth. The deceased was only 32 years of age, and was the daughter of Mrs Thomas, Penybedw. The infant is doing well. Much sympathy is felt with the family. PRESENTATION.—An interesting meeting was held on Tuesday night at Salem Baptist Sunday School, White Mill, when Mr William Phillips was made the recipient of a beautifully carved oak chair (by Mr Llewellyn, cabinet maker) subscribed for by the mem- bers of the chapel, in recognition of his valuable ser- vices in conducting the musical work of the Sunday School. The chair bore the inscription Presented to Mr William Phillips by the Salem Sunday School, The Rev — Gimiett (pastor of the chapel) pre- sided over a large meeting, nearly every member of the school being present.—The presentation was made by Mrs Maiy Lewis, the senior member of the school. —Mr Phillips, in thanking them all for their great kindness, said he never anticipated anything of the kind for what he had done. It was always a pleasure to assist in a good cause, and if his services were ap- preciated, that was sufficient recompense for him. He was proud of the token of their good feeling towards himself.—The enjoyment of the evening was consider- ably enhanced by the introduction of a gramophone entertainment, the instrument being lent by Messrs D. and LI. Rees Jones, Market Hall, Carmarthen, and manipulated by Mr Willie Jones, Cwmhowell. Mr D. J, Harries, the Mill, also brought his gramophone, and worked it.—In the intervals speeches were deli- vered by Mr James, Bailyglas, and Mr H. Lewis, CWnJ, —The meeting terminated with the singing of Hen Wlad fy Nhadau."

LAMPETER. MARRIAGE.—At the Noddfa Baptist Chapel on Tuesday last the marriage was solemnized (by licence) of Mr Evan Davies, of Plasnewydd, Silian, licensed victualler and blacksmith, and Miss Jane Jones, of Llettymawr, in the same parish. The Rev Daniel Jones (minister) officiated, and Mr E D Rees acted as registrar. Afterwards the happy pair and their friends sat down to breakfast at Cefenbryn-terrace, the home of the bridegroom's mother, Mrs Anne Davies. HOME-COMING.—The Rev D. Alexander Lloyd, B.A., formerly curate of St Paul's, Harringay, London, returned home here on Friday tost, after a period of fourteen months' service as acting chaplain to the I Forces in South Africa. He was met at the railway I station by a large number of friends, who extended him a most enthusiastic welcome. Mr Lloyd left Har- ringay early last year, and was attached to a mobile column, consisting of the 9th Royal Lancer? "and a sec- ) tion of the R.F.A., with whom he remained until the I gallant 9th went to India. After this he joined Col. Capper's column, which at that time was stationed at I Williston, and remained with it until after the declara- tion of peace. He subsequently became attached to troops in Eastern Transvaal and Orange River Colony, aud finally to the Military Hospital at Harrismith, until orders were received for his return home. He embarked on the Kinfauns Castle at Durban on Feb- ruary 12th, and reached Cape Town on the 16th of the same month. After three days' sojourn at the latter place, the Kinfauns Castle was again boarded, and Southampton was reached on the 7th instant after a very enjoyable voyage. What otherwise would have proved a monotonous voyage was spent in holding var- ious games and amusements on board. On the 26th and 27th of February athletic sports were held, com- mencing each day at 2 p.m., presided over by Capt R. Reynolds, R.N.R., while the chairman of the com- mittee was Major-General R.S.S. Baden-Powell, C.B., and the Rev Mr Lloyd was honorary sesretary. The list of events comprised potato race (gents), potato race ladies), cockfighting, boys' handicap, girls' handi- cap, turtle pulling, chalking pig's eye (ladies), 75 yards flat race, sack race, three-legged race, egg and spoon race (ladies), wheelbarrow race, threading the needle (ladies), 300 yards flat race, slinging the monkey, bolster fight, skipping competition (girls), long jump, tug of war. PRESENTATION TO THE REV ROBERT WILLIAMS, M.A.—The Rev Robert William?, M,A., vicar of Llan- dilo, was on St David's Day (celebrated at the College on the 3rd instant), presented by the stu- dents with handsome and complete volumes of the works of Shakespeare, Dickens, and George Elliot. A Louis XV clock was also presented to him and Mrs Williams, who was included in the presentation, in recognition of the great interest she had taken in the social life of the College. The meeting was presided over by Principal Bebb, who made appropriate refer- ences to the great and good work done by Mr Wil- liams whilst a member of tha professional staff of the College. There was no doubt that he thoroughly under- stood the Welsh temperament of the students, and on many occasions they had found in him a good friend and wise counsellor.—The Senior Scholar (Mr W E Thomas) in ^making the presentation, stated that speaking as one who had been under his tutorship for two years, it was with mingled feelings of regret and pleasure that he had to perform a duty and privilege. He spoke with regret because the College hod lost in the Rev R;Williams a gentleman whom she could least- afford to part with. The fact that the Rev R Williams was a Welshman, and also had been a student of the College enabled him to understand and draw out the sympathy of the students, and this power was of in- estimable value to the College Board. Yet, though it was a loss to the College, it was a gain to the Church in Wales, and especially to the parish of Llandilo. On the other hand, he (the Senior Scholar), pointed out the pleasure it gave him to stand there on behalf of the students to make the presentation—a presentation which spoke most eloquently, if silently, of the great respect and esteem in which the Rev Rober'. Williams was held by the students."But the presentation was not exclusively made to Mr Williams, for the clock which they saw before them was the gift of the students to the Rev Robert Williams and Mrs Williams. Of Mrs Williams it might be said that she was quite as highly thought of as her respected husband, and even more so. He could assure her thaf. the students had already missed her presence, for it was the privilege of not a few of the students to be greeted by her genial smile, and to be entertained by her pleasant conversa- tion. Mrs Williams had, even more than her husband, taken a lively interest in the welfare of the students, and for many years had kindly given her services as accompanist at the St David's Day concert. There- fore, for the many services she had rendered the stu- dents were pleased to associate with the name of the Rev Robert Williams that of Mrs Williams also.—Mr W 0 Thomas (undergraduate) endorsed the remarks which had been made by the senior scholar, and on behalf of the students and himself wished the Rev and Mrs Robert Williams a most successful career.—All the professors and lecturers of the College were pre- sent to witness the presentation. ST DAVID'S COLLEGE SCHOOL.—Much inteiest has been taken by the Upper School in the competition for the prize offered by Mr Dudley Morgan for the best essay on an economic subject. The two alternative subjects chosen by the majority of the boys were "The changes associated with the name Industrial Revolu- tion and The struggle between Capital and Labour, historically viewed." Dr Walker very kindly adjudi- cated, and, in awarding the prize to Godfrey Evans, expressed satisfaction with the general excellence of the papers in substance and style.

CELLAN. ERW CHAPEL.—The tea and entertainment given annually to the children attending the Sunday School of Capel yr Erw was held on Friday of last week The tea was laid on the tables at four in the after- noon, over which the following ladies presided, namely :—Mrs Davies, Tyncoed Mrs Jones, Factory; Mrs Davies. Cnwcyfallen Mrs Jones, Lanlas Mrs Roberts, Oakford Miss Reynolds, Talfan, and Miss Rees, Glanbeifi Cottage whilst Mrs Davies, of Plas- newydd, with her usual kindness, placed her house at the disposal of the Sunday School to prepare and lay out the tables. There was a good muster of scholars present, who enjoyed the treat thoroughly. Later on in the evening an entertainment was held in the chapel, under the presidency of the Rev T Eli Evans, when an interesting programme of vocal and instru- mental music, recitations, and dialogues was gone through. Mr John Williams, of the Post Office, was chiefly instrumental in getting up the entertainment, and the credit of its success is mainly due to him. Mr Williams is a zealous supporter of the Sunday School, as well as the singing class.

LLANECWAD. PRESENTATION TO REV. J. D. JONES.—The Rev J D Jones, curate of Llanegwad, having accepted a curacy at Poplar, London, his parishioners deter- mined that he should not leave the parish without some token of the high esteem in which thev hold him. It was decided to open a presentation fund, and Mr J J Rees, Llwynfortune, and Mr J Tavlor, Alltyferin, went round the friends of the parish, and Holy Trinity Churches, and Mr H Daniels and Mr Jona- than Davies collectéd at St John's Church. The result was that a very substantial amount was collected, and on Monday last the Rev J D Jones was presented with a purse of gold at a public meeting held at the National School. The Rev E Thomas (vicar) presided over a large attendance.—The Chairman, before making the presentation, spoke in the highest terms of the services Mr Jones had rendered to the cause of the Church in the parish during the five years he had been with him as curate. He was a thorough, earnest worker, and he (the speaker) regretted his departure. Poplar would be the richer, and he could only hope the change was for the best. The curate wis leaving entirely at his own wish, and he trusted a brilliant future was before him. He then presented the Rev J D Jones with the purse of gold on behalf of the Church friends.—Mr Taylor spoke a few words, setting forth the appreciation of Mr Jones's services by the inhabitants. The collectors had, almost without exception, been cordially met, and everybody seemed only too eager and willing to respond to their I appeal.—The Rev J D Jones, who was visibly moved when speaking, said he did not know what he had done to deserve such kindness at their hands. He had tried to do his best, but, of course, it was not possible to please all. He could only thank them for I the kind gift with which they had presented him. He would always carry with him pleasant recollections of his Llanegwad friends.—Mr J Thomas, Cothi Bridge, although suffering from a severe cold, sang a Welsh song, and then led the large audience in the singing of the National Anthem.—Thus terminated a pleasant, yet at the same time regrettable meeting. -I

Judging by the very large audience that was present we should say that the Town Band was au undertaking well pleasing 10 the inhabitants of the town. The vocalists are all so well known that no- word8 of ours could add to th« reputation they have already made, but let it suffice if we nay that all the- songs and choruses were rendered in an excellent style. Little need be said of Mr L. Abram and Mr W. B. Watlans, who gave such a splendid rendering of the cornet duet, Flow. gentle I leva," as they aie both ac- cornplished musicians. Messrs W. B. Watkins, A. Griffiths, J. Morgan, and J. Watkins gave an excellent rendering of the quartette, "Murmuring Breezes," and, if that is to be taken as he standard of playing of the- rpst of the members, neither Mr Abram, the conductor, nor the committee need have any anxietv as to the suc- cess of the band. During the interval the band gave a fine display of music in "Melodies of Wales," and a word of praise is due to Master George Hinkin for his splendid rendering of the solo.
