THE rINNER.-JUDGES' CRITICISM. At the Plough and Harrow Ino, in the even- ing, Miss Jones served an excellent dinner to a numerous company.

In proposing the toast of The King," the President remarked that, a a agriculturists, they all appreciated the hearty way in which His Majesty entered into everything connected with agriculture. The health of the judges was also proposed from the chair in complimentary terms. Mr Levi Jones, in respocse, criticised the ploughing in detail. He said that throughout the day the judges witnessed some exceedingly good work. The contest in the champions' class was very close—so close that darkness came on before they bad satisfied themselves as completely as they could have wished. The first prize winner made a neat and level cop, ploughed firmly and regularly through the ridge, judged his work out of the rean well, and divided splendidly, Tbey did not like the second man's cop very well: it was a bit too open, and be should have cut it a shade deeper but after be bad made his cop he improved all the way to the finish, ploughing very regularly, judging bis work well, and dividing splendidly. The third man made a very neat cop, with the exception of a slight fault in topping at one end. He ploughed through his ridge and divided fairly well, but on the off-side be bad one furrow an inch or two too wide, so that it did not match the other work. The fourth man copped fairly well, and ploughed very regularly through the fidge but his off-side was rather bad. In the second class the competition was again very close. The first prize winner copped a bit too high, though the work was of good class; but be kept some splendid furrows, turned them Ovc-t tidy, and came out well to his rean. One 61: two furrows on the off-side were a shade heavy. The second man nlro copper OO bigh, but in fairly good style. He plo»gheS ên all through his ridge, but in some places came out small to the rean, and when the horses ^ent on they smashed his ploughing. The ^bird prize, he had since discovered, they I divided between master and servant. Their COpping was more level than that of the first aDd second men, but was not of such good class. The servant's off-side was rather bad, the master also had a few bad farrows Ob tbe off-side. The winner in the third class Ploughed a few rough furrows at the start. *be second man's cop was not very straight, hough level, and he bad a few furrows too strong on the off-side. Tbe third man's fur- ws on the cop were smudged up a bit too tb tlch, and there were a few thick furrows on e off-side. Iu the Boys' Class the first prize i°Der made a very good cop, a shade too 'Sh; but he did some splendid work, and bad e8. 8°°d furrows in his ridge as any on the i e. (Applause.) He ploughed very rega- in through, and judged bis rean well, but ugbed a little too near tbe middle of tbe 3.Q he should have kept tbe plough a bit ro0'ijfco 9ide, and raised a little more ,e. secot,d boy's cop waB also a *6an|«y °° bnt b° ploughed level *nd bad a some very nice work. He Taken u* 0W8 too strong in the rean. inglv a *°Bel:ber the ploughing was exceed- ifadge it aD(* was a very bard task to Mr Evan Morsan described the hedging and ditching an geoerallv excellent,—as good work aw any the j:i<?grs had sefn iu that; part of the county thin year. The third class was judged first. The winner drew his hedge rather too much to him and might have been a trit stronger in liif gaps. The second man was not so good in tbe ditch and the top, and put bis first stick for the stake too much on its end. In the Boys' Class—one every Society ought to encourage—there were a few very good hedges. The winner was very careful to keep a good proportion of live wood in tiim, hedge, dividing very well, and staked and ditche,, well, hot might have had a better top. The second prize winner laid his first perch better than the first man, but fell off a good deal after wards. The third lad did not ditch right, and was a foot from the edge of the ditch to the stake, instead of eight or nine inches. There wert- three splendid bedgers in tbe Champion Class, and thev had an awkward thorn hedge to handle. The first prize winner made an excellent ditch, staked nicely, put his pleaches in well, and made a firm bedgp. The only fault they found was that the hedge was not qoite so straight on the top as they would have liked it. The second man hedged and ditched well, but bad his hedge about an inch too far from the edge of the di'.ch, and did not draw his pleaches quit, so hii:?b in the hedge as the first prize mm. The third man did not top and put his v'leaches in quite so well as the other two. In 1111' L'1cal Charopioos' Class it was rootit difficult to decide between the two first men, who did excellent work. The fault, of the winner waR thsS he was a little bare in the warding, and the s, cohd man did not make qui'e such a good top as the first, and did not finish off his hedge nicely. The third man had made his nitch too "slopy, and drew hi-i hedge to him. The, President, in giving "Saccess to the Society," said it wnt- iu a flotirishing condition, after 21 yeflr"" exigence, thanks largely to the help of a number of gentlemen who constantly supported it; and there was every reason to congratulate themselves upon he success of its work. It was very gratifying to bear such a good report from the jdfeges on the work done that day. and especially to find them speaking so highly of the work of the yoang men. They need not feara want, of good ploughmen and hedgers iu that district—(hoar, hear)—iod ther- Was no doubt that societies Ruetl as theirs were doing a orpat, work hy promoting a friendly rivalry among the young people. Mr Powell afti rwttrds thauked the secretary and treasurer for the trouble they took in manag- ing the HStirs of the society the stewards for their work 00 the field, and Mr Pritchard and Mr Williams for placing ground and hedges at their disposal. Mr Havard respou lod. He said Mr Probert and himself were very willing to do all they could lot tije society, and they were proud of the grand work that had bet n dono tbal, d:iy,- proud to know that the sooiety had betru in- strumental m training men to do Kiieu work. The lunds were iu a satisfactory ^tnt-. After balancing the books last year, foil wing a very successinl competition, they had ah ;ut £ 14 in band — (applause) — wbioji was v-rv creditable to a small society in a hill country. Com- menting on the lact that the. p<t*! arrange- ments of Upper Chapel had t" n improved during the last year, Mr Havxd remarked that when lie first came to the in \ght)Ourhood it was a. greu, thing to get letter once a wtelr Rometirues they bad to woit a fortnight, and s'lmetiim-s thev never got tite letter at all. (Laughter.) A branch of the Farmers' Union bad also been started ttiere-(Li, ar, bear)- and be had no doubt there was work for that Union to do if the farmers would only join and stick together. One thing ttje Union might do wa'; to find some means 01 gelling coal and lime to the dif-ltrict-(bear, hdH)- and they would also like the motor service extended to Upper Chapel. (Laughter.) Mr T Davits proponed tbe health of the Chairman, which was received witb musical honours.

If I were but a Gentleman. If I were but a gentleman, With money at command, I'd patronise the local men, And give n helping hand.

All games and sports I'd patronise, Both in and out of doors But baneful betting I would ban As bad as putrid sores.

MEAGER'S PROMISE. Alleged False Pretence at Brecon. i Franklyu C. Meager, said to be a bookmaker's clerk, residing at GO, -NeNv sfreet, Gloucester, is a imn who, smartly groomed, wouid annul attention anywhere as a man of style, as he is undoubtedly of good education. His educa- tion was apparent when he appeared at the Brecon Borough Police Court, on Monday, charged with obtaining 10o by fal,e preteaces from David Peregrine, draper, of Cambrian House, Brecon. Mr Peregrine stated that on February 13th defendant came to his shop and told ban he had come from Swansea that day on business for his firm, riding a motor cycle. He had been to Llanrihangel, where he had had an accident, preventing him riding the cycle back home He had wheeled it to Talyllvu Station and booked it by rail to Swansea, and bad himself walked from Talytlyn to Brecon. He was a friend of Mr Llewelyn (wimess's predecessor), and ex- pected to SeO him there. He was or Ib tirm of Merger and Co." There was a well-knoAn firm of auctioneers in Swansea of that naaie. Defendant further told witness that Ut t anlici- padng being out of Swansea many hours he had conni wiihout money, aud wanted some to pay I his fare in the train then abou* due. A* Mr L! ewelyn was not there, would witness belp | him out of the diliiculty by lending him enough I money to get some food and take him back to I Swansea. He would return itie iiioijej, tile next du. In reph- to a question, defendant, t said lie was one of the firm of Meaner and Co., auctium ers, Swansea. Witness then lent him lO.s iJ" had not received the mo iey >et. Defendant gave him an I.O.Ti. F C. Meager, Swansea." Witness wrote to the iirm of Meaner and Co., Swansea, and ha i it reply denying that defendant was coem-i::ed will) I then- Had not defendant said he belonged m the firm witness would not have puted- wiio the liloiiey. By the Chairman (Mr E. A. W, ight): He now k iew that the delendaut's statement about a motor cycle accident %vi,, ii,,t ir.te—n > bicycle was booked through from TJyllyn to S .vausea that div (, the next. Cross examined On entering the shop do fendant asked for Air Llewelyn. Witness said he had left Brecon, but bad been there on a visit a few days previously. Defendant said his father was an auctioneer at Swansea. Defendant And that is perfectly true. There is no firm of Meager and Co.; it is Beynon and Meager. (The letter produced by prosecutor was signed t. Beynon and Meager.") In further cross-examination, witness said defendant asked for no specific sum. Defen- dant offered to give the I.O.U. Witness said he was oertain defendant mentioned Meager and Co," Defendant here remarked that he omitted to put his Swansea address alii the I O.U., or he would have answered any letter from prosecutor himself. He was in Swansea at the time Beynon and Meager's letter was written (February 17th). P.S. John Davies, Talgarth, said that on the 13th February be was on the platform at Three Cocks Junction when the 1.45 train arrived from Builth Wells, and saw the defendant leave that train and go to the booking office. Having received certain information, witness followed him and was present when defendant was questioned by the Stationmasfer. Asked fro:n where he had travelled by the Midland train earlier that morning, defendant replied that he came from Hereford. He then booked to Talgarth. Detective Hayso, of tl)- S vausea Police, proved arresting the defendaa there on Satur- day as he left a London i-xmrsion train. Defendant was the sou of the se i >r member of the firm of Beynon, Meager an Co., but was not connected with the firm in mi; way. Defendant here remarked that lie had been living at Swansea, not Gloucester, from before the time of this occurrence, and Detective Hayse admitted seeing him there three weeks or a month ago. P.S. Williams stated that when he received the warrant at Brecon Police Station defendant replied I don't understand it." In answer to the charge, defendant said he bad no intention to defraud. He should not have given an I.O.U. if he had used a false pretence or had any intention to defraud, nor should be have gone to Swansea, where every other man knew him. The Bench committed defendant for trial at the next Quarter Sessions, and offered to accept a JC50 surety for his appearance. I

j LLANWRTYD WELLS COUNCIL. Demand for Plan:, of School Alterations. At the monthly meeting of the Llauwrtyd Wells Urban District Council on Friday there were present Messrs J. A. Davies (chairman), "man ), J. T. Evans. J. H. Rees, E. Saunders Morgan, D. J. Williims, Evan Price, S. Griffiths (clerk) and J. Williams (collector). Mr Saunders Morgan expressed the opinion that it was important that the Urban District I Council should ask for plans of the alteration to be carried out at the Council Schoo" He had been informed that a large sum woold be spent on the improvements of the building and the extension of the grounds, and it was only fair that the Council should see the plans before the work was done. The ratepayers of the parish of Llanwrtyd Wells would have to pay one-third of the expenditure, and if the alterations and extensions are not carried out to meet the requirements of the Board of Education, they would be saddled with an extra amount. The members of that council were representatives of the ratepayers and it was their duty to see that the ratepayers' money was spent to the best advantage. Mr Evans said the County Council were the authority to lock after the matter. Mr Saunders Morgan remarked that the ratepayers' interest should be looked after, and as the school was in the Urban District they had a right to ask for the plm;ns to be produced to them. When there were any other altera- tions going on in the town they insisted on plans being produced. They had from 160 to 170 children attending the school regularly, and the C rnucil should see that the sanitary condi- tion of the schojl was perfect. The Chairman said it was possible that a charge would be made on the parish for work carried out if it was not done to the satisfaction of the Board of Education. Mr Williams observed that the only thing that the ratepayers bad to do was to pay one third of the expenditure and the rest was met by the County Council. The Clerk said it seemed to him that the Urban District Council could do nothing in the matter, as the County Council was the superior authority. The Medical Officer of health would have to see that the sanitary arrangements were properly carried out. Mr Saunders Morgan said they wanted Llan- wrtyd healthy, and they wanted the sanitation < of the school where their children were sent 1 daily to be perfect. 1 Mr Williams insisted that it wts useless to 1 isk for the plans as the matter was in the hands of the Education Authority. Mr Saunders Morgan wanted the plans as ( submitted to the Board of Education, and moved that application should be made to the i Education Committee for them. f Mr Rees seconded the proposition. ] Mr Williams considered that the managers ] should see that the work was properly carried jut, C Mr Evans replied that the managers had lothing to do with the alterations nor the spending of the money. ] The Clerk also said that the managers had s nothing to do with this matter as it was in the tiands of the County Council, and if blame was attached to anyone it was to the County j Council. 4 The Chairman said the County Council was to be blamed for unnecessary expenses. Mr Rees asked ho*- many times the County Councillor for Llanwrtyd attended during the ] past year but there was no answer. The resolution was unanimously carried. The Council elected Mr Evans and the Chair- man to represent them as Managers of the Llan wrtyd Council school. A reference to the late Capt. Penry Lloyd is 1 given in another column.
