She carried a beautiful bouquet composed of white roses, lilac, and heather (gift of the bridegroom), and was attended by a little bridesmaid, Miss May Eames (picturesquely dressed in white silk and carrying a basket of pink roses), and Master Eric Webb (nephew) in an all white sailor suit with a buttonhole of pink rosebuds. both carried Russia leather prayer books (gifts of the bridegroom) on which their names and date were engraved in silver.

The promoters are to be congratulated on having arranged an exceptionally good programme, and it was the general opinion that this was the best concert that had been held in the Barracks up to now. Messrs Jones's Band were in exceptionally good form, and added a good deal of interest to the programme. The services of Miss Annie T Jones as harpist had been secured, and, needless to say, this lady's contri- butions were considered a great treat. Among the lady vocalists Miss Bessie Phillips was prominent, and her finished and artistic singing was the feature of the evening. Miss Pollie Jones delighted everybody with her rendering of a couple of pretty songs. Miss May Davies, Abergwili, played the accompaniments with unusual taste and skill, and also contributed a piano- forte solo with brilliant effect. Miss Davies should prove a valuable addition to the accompanists of Car- marthen and the district, as she has splendid execu- tion and taste, and reads faultlessly. The other ar- tistes are too well known to need any comment, save that they gave more than satisfaction. The hall, :which is admirably suited for the holding of concerts was nicely decorated for the occasion. Ap- pended is the programme:—' Overture,' 'Raymond,' Messrs Jones' String Band duet (tenor and baritone) Messrs James Morgan and Lewis Giles song, The City of Light,' Mr T Conwil Evans; harp solo, 'Echoes of a Waterfall,' Miss Annie T Jones violin solo, Saltarello,' Mr Victor Jones; song, Zuyder Zee,' Miss Bessie Phillips song, The Children's Home,' Mr James Morgan song,' She Wore a Wreath of Roses,' Miss Pollie Jones pianoforte solo.

He had:14s lid on him.—Defendant said that he belonged to the Milford Haven Militia.—The Bench fined defendant 5s and costs. David Edward Davies, of Temperance-yard, was similarly charged.— P.C. Richards said On Saturday, at 8.30 p.m., I saw the defendant in Lammas-street.

Some of the convictions were for keeping unregistered lodging-houses and the like.—Defendant was fined 10s and costs. Got Mixed Up-Mary Williams, 22 years of age, was brought up charged with being drunk and dis- orderly, and with doing wilful damage. Defendant refused to plead, or go into the box but sat stolidly on the seat.P.C Evan Jones said Last Saturday, about 8.45 p.m., I saw the defendant in Dark-gate. She was very drunk, and interfering with the people passing. I requested her twice to go away. She refused. I took her to the lock-up. She had no property in hw possession.—When asked if she had anything to say, the defendant sat in her place, but so far relaxed as to sav that she had only just come out of hospital. She had got mixed up with company, and had had a drop of drink.—Sergt Davies said At a quarter to nine on Saturday night I was in the police- station when Mary Williams was carried in. She was drunk, and in a mad rage of temper. She was trying to assault everybody, and beating her head against the table and the wall. She asked for a drop of water when she got to the cell. I fetched her water in a tin bowl. She threw the water over the cell, and smashed a window worth 4s with the bowl. She also smashed the bucket in the cell, and we had no quiet until she went to sleep on Sunday night. Then she commenced again this morning she had to be carried to the Town Hall. She was using the worst language ever I heard from all the bad characters in the whole of my experience. She was so violent that I thought it best to call in the prison sur- geon to see her. The doctor said that it was nothing but bad temper and the effects of drink.—Defendant: And being locked up for nothing.—Superintendent Smith said that the defendant informed him that she was a native of Blackwood; she was evidently a woman of loose character.—Defendant said that she had only come out from Llanelly Infirmary. She had walked up from Llanelly, stopping a night at Kidwelly on the way.— The Chairman said that the defendant would be sent to prison for a month for each offence, the senten- ces to run concurrently.—Defendant: One month for the sake of a drop of drink. That's the latest, any- how. During the course of the next case defendant started to sob and said, I was never served like that before. I never had a month, bad as I am." Then she commenced to shed copious tears, and shrieked loudly. She had to be removed forcibly to the police- station. George Ray Black-listed.—George Ray, for the 60th time, was charged with being drunk and disorderly.— P.C. Jones proved that the defendant was drunk on I the 8th November. He .fled from the town at the time.—Defendant said that he had been to Llandilo I since November. They could ask Inspector Griffiths or any of the policemen how he had behaved himself there during the four months he was there. He had just come out of prison when this summons was issued against him, and he did not want to go back. He was too weak.—P.C. Jones proved three previous convic- tions since June.—The Chairman asked defendant whether he would consent to be black-listed, or would have that question remitted to the Quarter Sessions to be decided;—Defendant said that he would rather have the question settled that day.—The Bench fined defen- dant 10s inclusive, and black-listed him.—Defendant asked if that would apply in another town.—The Clerk: It applies wherever you are, and a good thing for you if you will stick to it.

The home-coming of Mr and Mrs Delme Davies- Evans to Pantglas Mansion, was made the subject of general public rejoicing in that neighbourhood on Wednesday evening. From Dryslwyn Station, and for the entire length of four miles flags bedecked the wayside, while many handsome garlands and tri- umphal arches spanned the road at intervals. The first of these was near the Dryslwyn Castle Inn, where the inhabitants of the village had erected a very fine arch bearing the device. To-day we re- joice." Nearing Dryslwyn Post Ofhce a very pretty garland of flags stretched across the roads to do honour to the happy occasion. At the entrance to Parkhenry the wish God bless you was suspended I from a floral archway. The entrance to Pantglas had been converted into a beautiful triumphal arch with holly laurels, fir and other evergreens. Printed in large letters and facing the roadway were the strikingly appropriate words in Welsh, Croesaw gartref i Mr and Mrs Delme Davies-Evans on the other side being the translation, Welcome home to > Mr and Mis Davies-Evans." This had been erected by Messrs T Williams, J Rees, J Price, Evans, Jones, Maesybont, and E Thomas, Llansannan Mills. Along the lengthy but charming drive to the house, two I further triumphal arches had been ereeted by the workmen on the estate one bearing the words, God bless the happy pair." and the otner the good wish, I Hir oes a deawyddweh on one side, with Long life and happiness on the other. The mansion itself was also decorated with bunting, the large tower being especially gay with flags. Mr and Mrs Delme Davies-Evans were timed to reach Drysh/n Station at a quarter-to-six, and here in time for that train the Carmarthen and Llandilo contingents of Pembroke Imperial Yeomanry had lined up under Sergeant-Major Reed to form a guard of honour to their popular lieutenant and his bride. A large crowdjjad also assembled in the vicinity to give Mr and Mrs Delme Davies-Evans a nearty reception. And this indeed was ac- corded them. As the train steamed up to the platform cheer after cheer was given. On the plat- form, waiting to receive the happy pair, was Mr Wil- liam Morris, Coomb, a cousin of Mrs Davies-Evans. The greetings being over, a procession was formed, headed by the Yeomanry, and amidst every manifest- ation of delight a move was made towards home. About a mile down the road the procession was met by the Llandilo Volunteer Band, in uniform, under Band- master Williams, and to the strains of lively music Mr and Mrs Davies-Evans proceeded to their home with truly military escort. Along the route knots of people had gathered, and as the procession passed they cheered lustily, the children waving flags and handker- chiefs. At the Pantglas Lodge gate a large crowd of tenantry, workmen, and visitors had assembled, ready with long ropeto draw the carriage up to the house. Here cannon had been booming all the afternoon, the roaring of the, artillery being neard for many miles round. As the! procession came into view the shot- firing became more frequent, and when it arrived at the gates the ndise of tne guns was drowned in the thundering cheers which went up from the large crowd. The pair or horses were immediately unhitched from the landau, and ropes attached. Then dozens of will- ing hands dragged the carriage triumphantly up to the entrance door of the home of the occupants, the band playing lively tunes, and the crowd continually, cheer- ing. It was a splendid sight, and clearly showed the J popularity of the agent of Pantglas in that vast dis- trict, and the verv warm affection the inhabitants have for the esteemed lady he has taken as his partner in life. On the flight of steps leading up to the magnifi- cent hall stood Colonel H Davies-Evans, Highmead (Lord-Lieutenant of Cardiganshire), and MrsDavies- Evans waiting to give their son and daughter the f. warmest of welcomes. As the greetings took place the crowd cheered loud and continuously. At the com- mand of Sergeant-Major Reed the members of the Yeomanry gave three cheers for their officer and his good lady;" Mr Delme Davies-Evans then ascended the landau, and on addressing the tenantry, Yeomanry, and friends, was received with tremendous cheering. He said I must say I little expected when we started from Shrewsbury this morning to get such a good welcome as you have given us to-day. I don't suppose there has been such a good show and such a. warm welcome given to anybody in this country for some time (applause), and I must say it warms my heart (cheers). I felt almost overcome when I saw the Yeomanry there, the red-eoated Volunteers, the tenantry, and friends, and everywhere by the road free signs of welcome to me and my wife (cheers). And when we got to the lodge it was still the same. I am sure you could not have given me and my wife a better welcome than you have given us to-day. I simply get up here to thank yon for your welcome, as I am not a great orator. I think it is delightful to see the whole countryside turning out to welcome us back to Pantglas (cheers). We want to have a bit of fun now, so 1 won't make a long speech. Let me thank you most heartily, the tenants, Yeomanry, band, and friends, for giving me and my wife such a warm welcome" (cheers). The crowd then sang For he is a jolly good fellow," and gave cheers for Mrs Davies-Evans, who was called upon for a speech. She received a huge reception on entering the carriage, and said I must thank you all very much indeed for the exceedingly kind wav in which you have welcomed me to my new home (cheers). It is really very kind of you" (loud applause). A number of photographs of the Yeomanry and crowd were then taken, after which everybody was regaled with sumptuous refreshments, and the evening devoted to conviviality. About 9 o'clock the huge bonfire, which had been built on a lofty eminence near the house in honour of the occasion, was lighted, and told its joyful tale for many miles round. This terminated the proceedings. The whole of the arrangements, which were excellently carried out, were under the superintend- ence of Mr D Griffiths, sub-agent of the Pantglas Estate. PC Robins, who was mounted on horseback, regulated th3 procession.

TOWN TALK. -:0:- The G.W.R are running excursions to Swansea on May 14th, and to London on May 16th. A man well known in King-street has persuaded a friend that the Johnstown wells are only beneficial at eye tide. A local fishmonger had a quantity of salmon left on his hands over Sunday recently through refusing to lower his price. His prices were high, and his fish soon became the same. An unconscious humorist some time ago, speaking of a famous pulpit which was pulled down not long ago, said that it was falling to pieces from the result of dry rot. Bert Andrews and C E Baker intend competing in the quarter-mile cycle championships of Wales at Pontypridd on the 9th inst. The Sports and Attractions Company, Limited, have refused to tender for the championships of Wales to the N.C.U., believing that they should not be run on general holidays. A poster printed at Llandilo, and exhibited in a shop window in town announces that a small black satin lady's bag has been lost. One would like to see that satin lady. A local wiseacre informed a JOURNAL representative during the burning of the Bishop's Palace that this is the largest fire I have ever seen in Abergwili." There is not the slightest doubt about it. It is stated that two partners in a coracle at Car- marthen the other night made a haul of no less than SOlbs of salmon and sewin between them. Their net earnings for that one night were about £8 each. A Carmarthen man, whose speech was suffering from the effects of several wedding feasts he had just atten- ded, was the other evening heard to make a remark abcut the Metropolinshire police. Mr D N Jones, Johnstown, has formed a male voice choir to compete at Llanstephan Eisteddfod. A prac- tice was held on Tuesday evening, and another will be held on Sunday at 12 o'clock noon, in Union-stteet Schoolroom. The Carmarthen Cycling Club has not been formed too soon. It was certainly anomalous that a town possessing one of the finest cycle tracks in the country should be without any organisation for the training of cyclists. The 1st Volunteer Battalion Welsh Regiment have been permitted by the War Office to adopt a service dress uniform, to be introduced gradually as the pre- sent clothing becomes unserviceable. A sample jacket, trousers, and putties have been submitted and approved. At the English Baptist Chmch on Sunday evening, the Rev A Fuller Mills, at the close of an able dis- course, referred to the late Mr Matthew Lewis, and made suitable and feeling comments upon the deceased's good qualities. The interior of the church was draped in black, and at the close of the sermon the organist (Mr Howard Morgan) played the" Dead March in Saul. A gentleman who made a call on a friend the other day was shown by the maid into a small parlour, and took a seat on what looked like a home-made seat, neatly covered with chintz. When the lady of the house entered the room, and saw where the visitor had planted himself, she screamed excitedly, and begged of him to rise. He did so with alacrity, and not without alarm, to discover afterwards that he had been rest- ing his 14 stone on the penny-in-the slot gas meter. Next Tuesday evening at 6.30 o'clock sports will be held at the Park in connection with the Carmarthen Amateur Cycling Cluh. There will be no charge for admissiou, and amongst the events are half-mile and two mile handicap races. A gold medal will be awarded the first and second in each race. The sports should prove very attractive, and credit is due to the Cycling Club for providing such an excellent innova- tion. THE Carmarthen Sports aud Attractions Company have issued the entry forms for their grand motor-cycle and cycle competitions and foot races on Whit-Monday in Carmarthen Park, and which can be obtained from Mr A..Tones, secretary, Carmarthen House. The races are of an exceptionally attractive character, and appeal to all classes of riders and foot runners, handsome prizes being offered. Unique and sensational attrac- tions have also been engaged, full particulars of which will appear in next week's advertisements. An accident of a very extraordinary character was narrowly averted near the old railway station the other evening. The seven o'clock L. and N.W.R. train having just received the staff from the signal box on the Parade side, was getting up speed again, when a horse was seen running away down the Parade road straight for the line with a man after it. The horse dashed right in front of the engine, and narrowly escaped being knocked down. The man, not seeing the train followed, fell in the four footway, but the engine-driver applied the vaccuum-brake, and pulled up just within an ace of the man. At this spot several nasty accidents have occurred, and now that the old station is not used, a fence of some kind should be erected there without delay.

She was one of the most faithful and oldest members of Salem Congregational Chapel. It is a remarkable fact that she survived her husband and all her children, having seen nine funerals leave her house—her mother, hec husband, and seven children.

LECTURE.—At Horeb Chapel on Thursday evening, the 30th ult., Mr M H Roberts, Alney, Buckingham- shire, delivered a very interesting lecture on Man." He dealt ably on the different theories as to the origin of man, and maintained that man was to make pro- fress for ever. The chair was occupied by the Rev 'eter Jones, Wesleyan minister, who, at the con- clusion, proposed a vote of thanks to the lecturer, and was seconded by the Rev T E Nicholas.—The lecturer then proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman, and Mr W Griffiths, Cilcennen, seconded. COOKERY HONOURS.—At the cookery exhibition held a few days ago at the Royal Albert Hall, London, Miss Annie Lewis, sister ot Mr David Lewis, Sunny Bank, Ffuirfach, obtained a gold medal for confec- tionery and a silver medal for demonstration in cookery.
