On the same evening the bells of the Parish Church were rung in honour of the Royal wedding. THE "INDEFATIGABLE" BOYS IX CAMP. THF. SPORTS. During the week Brogyntyn PaVk has been visited by large numbers of townspeople evidently attracted by the novelty of the sailor lads, and the attractions offered in the shape of music and dancing. On Saturday the officers and boys were the guests of Mr. Bibby, of Hardwick Grange, Hadnall. They travelle(I by special train on the Cambrian line to Yorton, and were hospitably entertained by their kind host and hostess. The departure and arrival of the boys was witnessed by large crowds of people. On Sunday a church parade was held, when they marched to Oswestry Parish Church, where Rev. J. B. de la Bere otnci- ated. Their march through the town was witnessed bv many interested spectators. On Thursday mili- lary and athletic sports were held in the park, when a large crowd turned out to witness the different events, which included Naval physical drill, cutlass and bayonet exercise by the boys, and "heads and posts" and a Victoria Cross race by members of the Yeomanry. The weather was delightfully fine, and the large and beautiful demesne looked at it very best, the white canvas tents, the naval costumes of the boys, the flags that fluttered over the encampment, and the bright colours of the ladies presented a strong and pleas- ant contrast to the surrounding dark green foliage of the tall ancestral trees. The sports were held under the distinguished patronage of the Right. Hon. Lord Harlech, the Hon. G. and Lady Margaret Ormsby Gore, the Mayor and Mayoress, and the nobility, gentry, and tradesmen of the town. Ad- mission was by ticket, and the proceeds were devote I to the funds of the institution. It was gratifying to the committee to see such large num- bers turn out, for we are sure that there can be no more deserving object of charity than the training of the sons and orphans of sailors and other poor and destitute. The following are the winners in the several events:— 120 YARDS RAC E.—First hea 1 Samuels, Z G. McDonald, 3 McGregor. Second heat: I Richard- son, 2 Dumbell, 3 Holloway. Third heat: 1 Mc- Cormick, 2 Gatenby, 3 Fellows. Naval Physical Drill was gone through by twelve of the boys under command of Gunner-Instructor Orr. The evolutions were performed to the music of the band and were much admired. QUARTER-MILE RACE.—First heat: 1 Hudson, 2 Sergeant, 3 McDonald. Second heat: 1 Hawkins, 2 Gatenby, 3 McCormick. HEADS AXD POSTS, by members of the Yeo- manry.—1 Sergeant Felton, 2 Trooper W. Bowyer, 3 Corporal T. H. Hartnell. SACK RACE.—First heat: 1 Samuels, 2 Sergeant, 3 Brookman. Second heat: 1 Melrose, 2 Brown, 3 Connor and Rees (dead beat). Third heat: 1 Mc- Cormick, 2 Fellows, 3 Rose. WHEELBARROW RACE.—1 Dumbell and Hawkins, 2 Melross and McCormick and Levi and Hodson (dead heat). HOUNDS RACE.—First heat: 1 McCormick, 2 Mel- ross, 3 Dumbell. Second heat: 1 McCormick, 2 ross, 3 Dumbell. Second heat: 1 McCormick, 2 Hawkins, 3 Sergeant. Cutlass and bayonet exercise was gone through by twelve of the doys under command of Gunner- Instructor Orr. The evolutions were cleverly per- formed and elicited the hearty applause of the spectators. HUHDLE RACE.—1 Richardson, 2 McCormick, 3 Gatenby. TILTING THE BUCKET.—1 :Fellows and McCor- mick 2 Dumbell ana Wm. Taylor; 3 McGregor and Clancy. This competition was evidently new to most of the spectators, and was perhaps the most amusing of the day. A bucket full of water was secured on a cross spar between two uprights. A board with a small hole hangs underneath, through which one of the boys, seated on a wheel- barrow and hurled by his companion, must place a long pole. Failure to put the stick through the hole brings the water down on the top of the unlucky lads. GINGER BEER RACE.-l Dumbell; 2 Taylor; 3 Levi. In this race the boys had to eat a bun and drink a bottle of ginger beer in the middle of the race. TENT PEGGING.-l Trooper W. Bowyer; 2 Sergt. Filton; 3 Corporal T. H. Hartrell. Six of the boys next gave a sailor's hornpipe, their dancing being much admired. SINGLE RACE.—1 Hawkins; 2 Moatt; 3 Brown. The sports were brought to a close by a Victoria cross race by Sergeant Felton, Corporal T. H. Hartnell, and Trooper W. Bowyer. Owipg to the length of the programme several events including a tug of war and football contest had to be postponed till next Thursday, when the final heats of the several events and other competi- tions will be gone through. In the evening dancing was held on the Bowling Green of the Terrace to the music of the band. Large numbers turned out and the Green was taste- fully decorated with flags and lit with Chinese and fairy lamps presented a picturesque scene. The sports and other arrangements were in the hands of a general committee composed of the following gentlemen :—Messrs Felton, J. J. Davies, Spink, Kernish, J. Nield, Sergeant-Major Bryne, Powner, Loveday, Pearson, H. W. Sabine, J. Jones, Sergeant-Major Pendry, Dr O'Connor, J. Bolton, W. R. Lawford, E. Williams, A.

CaeGlas has been appointed as the place of assemblage. The procession will leave at three o'clock and proceed to Brogyntyn Park. Rev T. Redfern will officiate. PANT. A NEW DANGER.—The range of the Oswestry Volutiteeri3 at the Pant, is situated along a hollow, and at the rear of the targets there is a hill of some ? ed ^eet height, so that bullets would ar.mo /i-1?86 to height in order to escape.

The usual loyal and masonic toasts were duly honoured. This was generally considered one of the most successful of the annual meetings of the Provincial Grand Lodge. COMMEMORATION AND SPEECH DAY AT S. OSWALD'S COLLEGE. Con: memoration and Speech Dav at S. Oswald's College, one of the most prominent of the Woodward foundation of public schools, was celebrated with befitting ceremony on Thursday. The proceedings commenced at 8 a. m, with a full choral celebration in the College (temporary) chapel, Rev. H. Meynell (Prebendary of Lichfield Cathedral and Provost of the society) being the celebrant. The service was Lee Williams' Holy Communion in C," which was beautifully rendered by the choir. By three o'clock a good assembly had gathered for the com- memoration service, when Dykes' Te Deum in F" was sung. Following this Rev. Prebendary Mey- nell preached the sermon from Proverbs xiv., 34, dealing with the question of religious education, a difficulty which had arisen in connection with pub- lic as well as elementary schools. He pleaded strongly for definite, distinct, and dogmatic re- ligious teaching as the true foundation of the righteousness which exalted the nation. The offertory was for the new schoolroom, which is nearing completion. It is a handsome building, and is much admired for its exact suitability, com- bined with the beauty of its architecture, in which latter respect, indeed, it vies with the fine dinidg hall of the college, already so well known in the district. At four o'clock the following programme was gone through most efficiently in the great Hall, where the visitors, masters, and boys had assembled :—Glee, The Carnovale," Rossini: reci- tation from King JEenry V," act iv, scene 4 (Shakespere), E. Fearenside selection from prize essey on The History of the House of Lords," C. D Penn; recitation, "Ulysses" (Tennyson), T. A. Harvey; glee, The jlaiden of the Fleur-de-Lys" dpn lLa ?n I After a few introductory remarks by the Provost, the HEADMASTER (Rev. R. B. Thompson) said that the'past year's work at S. Oswald's was of a most satisfactory nature, very little of the credit of which he felt was due to him (the headmaster). He fully believed that each of the 14 Woodward Schools received much help from the daily prayers offered in their behalf, both in the society and in the homes of their pupils. The Provost, too, and the Fellows, the Chaplain, and his own staff of assistant masters, all worked unselfishly and untiringly for S. Oswald's welfare. He was glad to be able to say that the school was quite full; in fact he had had to refuse many applicants, whom he had passed on to S. Cuthbert's, Worksop. The year's honours were at least equal to previous years, and he would mention the following:—F. A. Lidbury, X50 schol- arship for three years at Hulme Hall, Manchester, also 16th in honours, London Matriculation; T. A. Harvey, 2nd division, London Matriculation E. Fearenside, X20 scholarship, Salop County Council. Oxford Local Examinations :—Seniors Five certificates-one distinction. Juniors: Nine- teea certificates-one 1st class honours, two 2nd class bonouts, one 3rd class honours, also eight distinctions. Five Pitman's shorthand certificates were won. Continuing, the Headmaster said in athletics the school had eclipsed all previous years both in football and cricket, the victory against Shropshire County Cricket XI. being the latest and greatest. One boy, he was proud to announce, had won the Royal Humane Society's parchment for saving life. The Headmaster, in appropriate terms, alluded to the late Rev. J. Peake, Vicar of Elles- mere, and welcomed the new Incumbent amongst them. In conclusion, this speaker looked forward very hopefully to St. Oswald's continued success, and feelingly referred to the loss the society would sustain through the approaching resignation of their Provost, whose well-earned rest, after a life so devoted to the Woodward schools, no one could grudge, however much they might regret the necessity of his taking it. Then followed the distribution of the prizes, handsomely bound in calf and stamped in gold with the college crest and motto Pro Patria Dimicans."

The Examiner's report was read as follows H TO THE PROVOST AND FELLOW'S. My Lords and Gentlemen,—At the request of the Headmaster I have examined the Lower Forms of the School in Church history, Latin, and arithmetic. Church History (period 1603 to present day) had evidently been well prepared and the text book carefully studied.-In Divinity the Gospel of S. p ar 1, » a Porti°n °f George Herbert's "Church ,°rc were taken by the Upper III. I was p ease o nd the Church Porch" so well known A 1 > 6 (?rrn an<^ iu S. Mark the average was good. By other Forms portions of the Book of Samuel, 11. Kinits. of th. A-# -,r » -3 CJ "D VI. ""J10SLleH, auu ajso the ^burd^ Catechism were taken. The knowledge of the history throughout was good, and the Catechism was fair.-Latin: Papers were set in grammar, translation, and composition The general average was good, and the boys are evi- dently being well prepared. The Lewer Forms of those I examined, as a whole, did remarkably well. --Arithmetic: I was pleased to find a marked improvement in general neatness and accuracy. The average of Upper III. was good; Upper II. somewhat uneven. The writing of the boys, as a whole, was decidedly good, and the work intelligent, and I am confident that good and careful work is being done in this important part of S. Oswald's School.—I have the honour to be, my Lords and Gentlemen, your obedient servant, HUGH F. BENNETT, B.A., Wore: Coll: Oxon. Throughout the above report the names of the t bovs who did best in the several Forms were given. Votes of thanks were accorded with great cheeing to the Visitors, after which Dulce Domum and God save the Queen" brought the proceedings to an end. Tea was served in the ante-hall for the visitors, among whom were—Rev Prebendary Meynell, Provost of Denstone Rev R Beviss- Thompson, M.A. (Headmaster), and Mrs Thompson; Rev T E Stevens (chaplin) Rev A E Wanton, Vicar of Ellesmere; the Hon. and Rev G H F Vane and Mrs Vane, Wem; Rev W B Gowan, Ruyton-xi- Towns Rev W Clement Tabor and Miss Tabor, Rev W R Rug-go and Mrs Rugg, Rev C W Pearson, Birmingham; Mr Philip Yorke, Wrexham; Mr J A Clegg and Mrs Clcgg, the Misses Sheraton and party, Mr E L Mylius and Mrs Mylius, Miss G Kingsford* Mr McCutchan and party, Mr F W Tickley and Mrf Bickley, the Misses Wynn, Mr J F Stanley and Mrs Stanley, Mr G Halliday and Mrs Halliday, Chirk Mr Harold Peake, the Misses Pricchard and party, the Misses Bickley, Tethhill; Mr Knapp and Mrs Knapp. Miss Ellis and party, Miss Jcbb and party, Miss Ponton, Mr John Lee, Mrs Lee and Miss Lee, Mrs Day and Miss Day, Rowton Mrs Halton Davies, Miss Broughall, and Miss Roberts, Chirk Miss Shingler Mrs Brade, Eccles Mr and Mrs Hill, Crewe Mr Parker and Mrs Parker, English Frankton; Mr Revell, and Mrs Revell, Mr R C Turner, Chester; Mr G Tyley, Mrs Tyley, Oswestry.

CLUB ANNIVERSARY'.—The anniversary of the Lily of the Valley Lodge was held yesterday. The weather in the forenoon was of an inclement nature, but by noon the sun shone out in all its splendour, the out-door demonstration taking place beneath an unclouded sky. The members assem- bled in the lodgeroom at twelve, and after the transaction of the usual business the procession was formed, and headed by the King Oswald Brass Band, under the leadership of Mr. Littlehales, marched to the Parish Church of Trefonen, where the Rector (Rev. George Williams) preached an eloquent and appropriate sermon from Gen. viii. 25, He died in a good old age." After the ser- vice, the procession,'having been re-formed, marched through the village to the Royal-Oak Inn, Treflach, where a sumptuous dinner was laid out in good style by Host John Jones. Dr Lewis, Oswestry, occupied the chair, Mr T. H. Stokes taking the vice-chair. Amongst those present were Messrs T. Hughes (Pautmawr), James Tyley (Tre- fonen), Thomas Edwards and Elliott Ellis (Tretlach), John Hughes (Red House. Treflach), William Evans (Barley Mow), John Carsley, Thomas Ellis, John Egerton, Thomas Edwards, Pryce Edwards, jun., &c. At the con- clusion of the dinner, the Chairman gave the toast of The Queen, the Prince and Priucess of Wales, and other members of the Royal family," which was enthusiastically received. The Bishop and Clergy C; and Ministers of all Denominations" was next given from the chair, coupled with the name of the Rector.—Mr Hughes, who replied on behalf of the Rector, was sure the lives of the clergy exercised some good effect in checking what he might term the madteareer of people and in putting them as near as possible in the right path. He could only add what he had been asked to say by the Rector him- self that nothing but the most urgent public busi- ness kept him from being present at the anniver- sary (applause). He (the Rector) was a very hearty jolly old gentleman, and speaking of the ministers of the other denominations also there was not a jollier set of resident ministers to be found in any parish (applause). The Army, Navy and Reserve Forces was given by'i, the Chairman and coupled with it the name of Mr Stokes, who is a retired member of the Montgomeryshire Yeomanry. This gentlemani made an appropriate reply, after which the Chairman submitted the health of the Lily of the Valley Lodge." He congratulated them on their continued prosperity. During the year their membership had increased by 12. This was very satisfactory, and although their member- ship scarcely numbered the half century, he trusted they would reach the full century before another year (applause). Their finances showed a corresponding increase, and as far as he could see by the good work that had been done at the table there was very little need for a doctor in their midst (loud applause).-The Chairman having to leave the meeting, his health was pro- posed by Mr Stokes, to which Dr. Lewis feelingly replied. The toast was received with enthusiasm, He's a jolly good fellow being sung by the en- tire company.—The energetic secretary, Mr. Pryce Edwards, jun., responded to the Health of the Members."—Other toasts followed, the whole pro- ceedings passing off without a hitch. Dancing took place in the evening, the music being sup- plied by the King Oswald Band. CEMMAES. TEA PARTY.—On Tuesday afternoon the children attending the two village schools were invited to tea at Aberhiriaeth Hall by Mr. C. E. J. and Mrs. Owen, Hengwrt Uoha, Dolgelley, who are staying at their residence in the valley of the Dovey. At 3 in the afternoon the children marched to the grounds where they partook of an excellent tea, being attentively served by Mr. and Mrs. Owen, Mr. Griffiths, and others. Afterwards races and games were indulged in, the obstacle races for boys of all ages causing much amusement. Money prizes were given by Mr. Owen. Rain, however, greatly interfered with the sports. The children having assembled sang God save the Queen," Hen wlad fy nhadau," &c., in a pleasing manner. The Rector thanked Mr. and Mrs. Owen for their kindness and called for cheers, which were heartily given. The children on their departure received do present of a parcel of sweets or some nseiui present. GARTHMYL. MARRIAGE OF MR. G- M. EDWARDES- JONES. Mr G. Morgan Edwardes-Jones, only sou of Mr J. Morgan Edwardes-Jones, formerly of Garthmyl Hall, Berriew, was married to Miss Gabrielle Rose Johnson, eldest daughter of Mr Reginald Eden Johnson, J.P., of Terling Park, Harlow, on Thnrs- day week, at Gilston, Essex. The church was crowded with relatives and other guests, a special train having been provided for the convenience of London guests. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked very handsome in her costume of white satin, embroidered with pearls and trimmed with chiffon. She also wore a wreath of orange blossom, and a veil of white Breton lace. Her ornaments were a pearl necklace (the gift of her parents), a gold and diamond bracelet (the gift of her parents), a gold and diamond bracelet (the gift of the bridegroom), a sapphire and diamond bracelet (the gift of the bridegroom's father), and a diamond hair ornament (the gift of Mr and Mrs Shaw Stewart.) She was attended by five brides- maids, viz Miss Margaret Irvine, Miss Ariva Johnston, Miss Penelope Eyre (cousins of the bride), and Miss Winifred and Miss Audley Johnston (her sisters). These young ladies wore dresses of white muslin, trimmed with lace in- sertion and Caley ribbons, Bashes of pink Chine silk, and white chip hats, trimmed with white feathers and chiffon. They also wore gold curb bracelets, with pearl, turquoise, and coral mono- gram, and carried bouquets of sweet peas, the gifts of the bridegroom. The bride's court train was borne by her brother, Master Geoffrey John- ston, who wore a velvet suit lined with pink silk. Mr. John F. P. Rawlinson, son of the late Sir Christopher Rawlinson, acted as best man. The service was conducted by Rev. F. W. Bullock, rector of Radwinter, Rev. F. G. Eyre, uncle of the bride, and Rev. R. C. Bacon, rector of Gilston. After the ceremony a reception was held at Terlings Park. The bride's going away dress was of canvass, with bodice of shot silk, trimmed with white chiffon and embroidered grass lawn. Her hat was of black crinoline, with black feathers and crimson roses. LLANILAR. RENT AUDIT.—On Friday week the half-yearly rent audit of the Castle Hill estate was held at the Falcon Hotel, when Mr. Davies, solicitor, Aberys- twyth, the respected agent of the estate, received the rents. Ir. Davies announced that Mr. Loxdale h"c1 orfinornn slv srranted the tenants an abatement of five per cent, on the half-year's rent, which, it is unnecessary to add, was gladly welcomed by the tenants. After the usual business had been dis- posed of, the tenants sat down to an excellent dinner, which was provided by Mr. Hughes, host of the Falcon Hotel. The tenants were joined by Mr. and Mrs. Loxdale, and Mr. Davies, the agent. Mr. Davies, the agent. Mr. Davies, in proposing the health of Mr., Mrs. and Miss Loxdale, referred to the friendlv relations that existed between landlord and tenant. Mr. Loxdale responded, and proposed the health of Mr. Davies which was cordially drank, and Mr. Davies responded. A vote of thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Loxdale for their generous abatement was proposed by Mr John Jones, Garthmawr, and seconded by Mr Rowland Morgan, of London House, Aberystwyth. The whole of the proceedings were of a very pleasant character. NEWTOWN. SCHOOL BOARD.-A n adjourned meeting of the Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn School Board was held on Friday, Mr R. Phillips presiding, when there were also present Messrs John Humphreys and T. Rees, with Mr R. Williams (deputy-clerk), and Mr J. Andrew (attendance officer).-An estimate was received from Mr J. W. Swain for the construction of two new windows to boys' school at Newtown, and for the erection of a platform in the same school.—On the motion of Mr J. Hum- phreys, the estimate was adopted, and it wa? de- cided to carry out the work forthwith.—The question of repairing the new heads to five chim- neys in New-road was deferred.—The Deputy-Clerk read a letter from Mrs Goodwin intimating her desire of placing her son, Frank Goodwin, on the teaching staff of the New Church Stre-'t School in January next.—An application from Goodwin respecting the salary of her dnughler; who teaches in the New Street School, was adjoitrne-l to the next meeting.—The report of the Inspector upon I u the Penygloddfa evening school was r"ad. It stated that the average attendance was 40'9, and the total amount of giant earned £33 19s 6d. The following are the remarks of the Inspector upon the school The number attending this school is very creditable, and the work done is prftty good. It is desirable that all should endeavour to atten*d punctually." —The Chairman remarked that it was a very satisfactory result of the evening classes, which reflected great credit on the Master, Mr Griffiths. lr, Humphreys moved that they tender their heartiest thanks to Mr. Griffiths for the great pains and trouble he had taken in conducting the evening school. Mr. Griffiths was worthy of the thanks of the Board as well as of the parents of the scholars who attended his classes. The classes were an immense boon to the children, and Mr. Griffiths had worked early and late in order to make his school efficient.—Mr. Rees, in seconding the motion, spoke in eulogistic terms of the success attained by Mr. Griffiths in his eveninsr school. They were very pleased to sea Mr. Griffiths taking such a deep interest in teach- ing those who, having left the day schcols, could only afford time to attend evening classes. Such work strongly appealed for their assistance in the futnre,- The Chairman said he was afraid the evening classes were not so widely known as they ought to be. He thought that as a Board 1 hey should encourage Mr. Griffiths in his work.— The motion was carried unanimously.—There were fourteen applications for the post of certifi- cated assistant master at the New Church Street School (boys' department). Mr. Humphreys moved that the appointment be decided by open voting. He had looked through the list of ap- plications, and from his point of view there was one applicant who stood head and shonldets above all others. He was very pleased to tind such a large number of young men applying i< r the post, but there was no hesitation in his mind as to who should be elected.—The Chairman pointed out the responsibility attached to the appointment of an assistant, master, and especially so W!H: I the Board was so small. Mr Humphreys observ-d that according to Lhe terms of the advertisement ¡ new teacher was to begin his duty oil August 3rd. He moved that Mr Albert Evans be appt)iiit,e(l. -Ilr Rees seconded the motion. He was very glad to see such a number of applicants for the post, which proved that the amount offered by the Board was somewhere about the market value. He believed the Board was unanimous in applying for an assistant master, fand ,hoped they would also be unanimous as to the appointment of that master. He was very pleased to find among the list of applicants an old teacher who bad served the Board for six years. Mr Evans was one of the most successful teachers the Board had had, and his addition to the staff would, he believed, strengthen it very much.—The motion was then put, and carried, unanimously. — The result of the pupil teachers' examination was read by the Deputy- Clerk.—The quarterly report of the Attendance Officer stated that the number ot children upon the register was 1,213, and the average attendance, 1,029, or 84.8 per cent., a decrease of 5 on the register, and an increase of 34 in average attendance, as compared with the corresponding month of last year. During the quarter ended June 30th, 214 children had attended full time. He appended a list of the names of those scholars. KERRY. UNITED SCHOOLS TREAT. On Friday week the annual school treat in connection with the Sunday and day schools of Kerry was held in charming weather. The tea took place in the Schoolroom, and the tea-makers were busily engaged for about four hours. In addition to the children a large numuer of the adults attended to partake of the "cup that cheers." Shortly after two o'clock a contingent of the Newtown Silver Band arrived, and played through the village to the Schoolroom where an excellent programme of music was rendered. Amongst the many friends who attended were Mrs A. W. Pryce Jones, Mr Alderson, Mr and Mrs Proudfoot, Mr and Mrs Charles Jones, Mr James Davies, Mr and Mrs W. H. Williams, &c. After tea an adjournment was made to the beauti- ful Dolforgan grounds (kindly lent for the occasion by Mrs Willans) where all kinds of innocent games were indulged in, such as racing, swinging, &c., while the adults enjoyed themselves by dancing to the strains of the baud. Before leaving each scholar was presented with a toy or useful article. The tea makers were Mrs Nares, Mrs Willans, Mrs Poundley, Mrs Milnes, Misses Venables (2), Miss Jones (Gilfach), Mrs Jones (Brynllywarch), Mrs Mackay, Mrs Noke, Miss Gilbank, Miss Wheeler, Mrs Edith Wheeler, assisted by Misses Milnes (2), Miss Jones, Miss Charlton, Misses Davies (Drefor), Misses Noke, Misses Blayney, Miss F. Owen, Miss Ethel Breeze. Mrs Davies (Drefor) superintended the provisions, assisted by Miss Lockley and Miss Day. Valuable assistance was rendered by Rev O. A. Nares, Rev Henry Williams, Messrs Reese Hamer, Benbow, F. Evans, Sydney Bowen, T. Price, and P. Moigan. Great credit is due to Mr J. M. Milnes for the very excellent arrangements he had made in catering for everybody. A rote of thanks to Mrs Willans for the use of the park, also to the tea makers and assistants brought to a close one of the most successful tea meetings ever held in Kerry. LLANDINAM. SCHOOL RKPORT. The following is the report of H.M. Inspector upon his recent inspection and ex- amination of the Board School Mixed School: This school is well disciplined, and intelligently and very efficiently instructed. The elementary sub- jects and grammar were very good, and the recita- tation, geography, needlework, and singing from r I notes fairly good. A considerable number did fairly well in mensuration as a specific subject. Infants class: The infants are well disciplined and well instructed. The reading was not so good as the writing and arithmetic, and it would he desire- able to pay increased attention to it. The recitation, occupations, object lessons, and drill were very creditable. The singing from notes was only barely passable." The examination was conducted by Mr Williams, Chief Inspector, assisted by Mr. Thomas, Sub-Inspector, and the grants earned were the highest on every subject. MACHYNLLETH. PROMOTION. Mr J. J. Jones who for the last five years has been on the local staff of the London and Provincial Bank has been promoted to the Llanelly Branch. During his stay in the town Mr Jones earned the respect of a large circle of acquaintances. OVERCOME BY THE HEAT. On Thursday morning a young man named Edward Jones, employed as a porter at Machynlleth station was engaged in cleaning carriages and whilst standing on the foot- board was seen to fall face downwards. He was at once taken home and Dr Matthews called in, when it was found that Jones was suffering from the excessive heat. He is now making satisfactory progress. Some 18 months ago he met with an accident by which he nearly lost his arm. ACCIDENT.—About a fortnight ago a married man named Richard Roberts, residing at Cwmera, near Corris, met with a serious accident. It seems that Roberts was working in a slab quarry when a large stone fell and crushed his left foot. He was attended to locally, and afterwards admitted to the Londonderry Cottage Hospital at this place, where his 1e; was amputated by Dr. A. 0. Davies, and the patient is now making satisfactory progress. This is only one of many incidents by which the value of the Cottage Hospital is emphasized. FUNERAL.—We regret to have to announce the death, which took place on July 20th, after a pro- longed illness, of Miss Jennie Meredith Jones, daughter of Mr and Mrs Meredith Jones, of Dovey View, at the early age of 18 years. The deceased was formerly a pupil teacher in the Board School, but some seven months ago had to reisign her post owing to ill health. The fuueral was very largely attended by all claases, and much sympathy was shown with the family. At the house the service was conducted by Rev. Josiah Jones, and the Craig choir, of which the deceased was a member, sang some old Welsh hymns. The procession was headed by the ministers, and then followed members of the local :(,oodTemplars' Lodge wearing mourning regalia. The coffin was of polished oak and covered with flowers. At the grave-side the service was:conducted by Rev. D. F. 11 Lewis, Corris, and Rev. G. P. Thomas, Aberhosan, the choir again singing a funeral anthem. ABERYSTWYTH. (Continued from page 2.) RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. Mr. J. B. Morgan presided over a special meeting of the council, held at the Workhouse on Monday afternoon. A letter was read from Dr. James, Fagwyn, as to the modi- fication of infectious diseases and the clerk was in- structed to write to the local practitioners pointing out the great importance of immediately notifying any outbreak of disease. If this was not done pro- ceedings would be taken against them. An analysis of water from a well at Cwmpadarn was submitted by the inspector and it was decided to close it. Another one in the same neighbourhood had also been examined and it was stated that if proper care was taken in preventing it being con- taminated the water was fit for domestic purposes. BARMOUTH. PETTY SESSIONS. HarD., y. Before Mr 0. S. Wynne (Chairman), Dr Lloyd, Alderman Lewis Lewis, Rev. J. C wynnro Davies, Mr Ansell, and Mr Davies. M SCARCITY OF MAGISTRATES.—Jlr Owen blaney Wynne at the outset said a few words as an explan- ] ation of why he had come there that day. He had i come there at the urgent request of the authori- ties in consequence of the scarcity of magistrates. < Many local magistrates were away on account of < illness, and one could not act because he happened to be the High Sheriff for the time being, while some magistrates were precluded from sitting on some charges because they were members of the Urban District Council. He made this explanation because it was unusual for a magistrate for one district to sit in another. STRAY ANIMALS.—Benjamin Bryan, Oswestry. was charged with allowing three horses to stray on the highway between Dolgelley and Friog on Sun- day, the 5th inst. P.C. Evans, Llwyngwril, gave evidence, and defendant, who (lid not deny the I accusation, said the horses must have got astray while he was asleep. A fine of 5s for each animal was inflicted, the Chairman observing that this was a very dangerous practice and defendant was an old offender. ALLEGED OBSTRUCTION.—J. M. Jones, Barmouth, was summoned by the Barmouth Urban Council for obstruction. Mr W. George prosecuted and Mr Arthur Hughes defended. P.S. Williams said that on the 27th of June he saw two carriages obstruct- ing the highway for about 20 minutes. In reply to Mr Arthur Hughes, the officer said he did not see Mr Jones there. He asked Arthur -Jones whether defendant had cautioned him not to obstruct the road. The latter said he had not. He had cautioned Mr Jones before and had asked him to caution his n-ien.P.C. Barnard gave corroborative evidence, but in cross-examination this officer said that Arthur Jones told him that Mr Jones had cautioned; the men.— Arthur Jones, called for the n '11"" T defence, said he told bergeant Williams that iMr J. M. Jones had told all his men not to allow the carriages to stop in the road too long. He heard the defendant giving strict orders to his men to this effect.—Mr Arthur Hughes contended that according to criminal law if a man did all in his power to prevent an act of this kind he was not responsible for the neglect of his servant and he failed to see what he had to answer.—The Bench dismissed the case but asked all owners of carriages to abstain from obstructing streets in future. AN INTERESTING CASE.—A case in which con- siderable interest was taken, was that in which Lewis Williams, Barmouth, and another were charged with trespassing on the railway," but which was in reality brought forward for the pur- pose of preventing unauthorised porters from con- veying goods to and from the railway station. There were eight charges against Williams and seven against his comrade, but it was agreed that one of the cases against Williams should be taken, and the remaining to be disposed of according to the decision. Mr. Corfield, Oswestry, represented the Company, and Mr. Arthur Hughes, Aberys- twyth, defended.—Mr. Corfield, in the course of his opening remarks, contended that the term railway meant the railway, the premises and the works connected therewith. Formerly a there was good deal of irregularity and sometimes a disturb- ance, if not a free fight at the station between those who conveyed luggage, and this went on to such an extent that ultimately the Company came to the conclusion that they had better license a man in the town who was able to carry on the work as town porter. As a result a man named. Davies was appointed, and he paid a comparatively large sum to the company for the privilege of bringing and taking luggage for passengers. He was allowed on the platform to do so, but the others were not.—Mr. Arthur Hughes said that this history was very interesting, but it had really noth- ing to do with the case.—Mr. Corfield pointed out that a lot of disturbance had been caused, between the defendant and the Company's servants. Mr. Davies had the exclusive right to do the porterage, and that bping so the defendant was told he must not come on the Company's premises again, as he would be treated as a trespasser and prosecuted. He still persisted in coming and the Company had no alternative but to summons him and ask the Bench to inflict such a penalty as would prevent the recurrence.—Mr. Benjamin Williams, station master, Barmouth, was called and said he had warned the defendant not to come on the Company's premises, and if he persisted in coming he would be treated os a trespasser. Every day since and up to the previous night he persisted in bringing luggage to the station.—In reply to Mr. Arthur 19 11 Hughes witness said he had been instructed by his Manager and believed that the Company had a monopoly in this respect. The man was on the road leading to the station on the town side. He did not come on to the platform. — In reply to Rev J. Gwynoro Davies, Mr Williams said he had been instructed not to allow these two men. —Mr Arthur Husrhes pointed out that the Railwav Company were obliged to take any goods tendered them for carriage, and that being so they would be bound to take them from who ever brought them. One of these next days he would send this man with goods to the Company and defy them to refuse their acceptance or chuck the man out. This monopoly they would fled would break down. Pro- ceeding to give a definition of the word railway," Mr Hughes contended that in the Act under which the summons had been taken out the term meant the permanent way. That being so there had been no offence, for according to the stationmaster the defendant was outside the platform, in fact the platform was between him and the railway. Mr Hughes then went on to explain several different Acts dealing with railways, and pointed out that the Company had their remedy, but that in this case they had taken out a summons under the wrong Act. There had been no trespass, no wilful obstruction, and no refusal to leave when requested. He would ask their worships to dismiss the sum- mons. He had always found the Cambrian Rail- ways Company amenable to reason and prepared to meet all people in a fair spirit, and he bad no doubt that when he had put the matter clearly before his friend and the Company there would be no mis- understanding. Mr Corfield in replying, failed to see how his learned friend could construe the sum- mons to be wrong. What use would a railway, a permanent way, be without, station and premises, &c. Aud unless something was done to prevent the couise of things now going on it would be very difficult for the stationmaster to carry on his work. —The Bench retired to consider their decision and on returning the Chairman said they gone very care- fully iniothe matter, and had unanimously decided to dismiss this summons. They would not say, however, on what grounds they had decided to dis- miss it.—Mr Corfield: I was going to ask yonr worships whether you would grant me a special case as to the meaning of the woid railway.— The Bench expressed their willingness to do so.— Mr Arthur Hughes applied for costs, but this was not granted. DRUNKENNESS.—An old offender named William Wright was charged with being drunk and disorderly in the Beach Road, Barmouth, on the 12th July.—Defendant pleaded guilty and Supt. Jones having proved previous convictions, defen- dant offp^ed to give up the drink in future and was fined 5s. and costs, and at the same time cautioned that should he come before them again he would be dealt with very severely.—David Davies, Crown Shop, Dolgelley, was also charged with being drunk in Aberamffra Road on the 12th July.-P.C. David Jones proved the case and a line of 5s. was in- flicted. I No LIGHTS.-R, Dew, 7 Marine Terrace, Bar- mouth, was summoned for riding a bicycle on the 13th of July, after sunset, without a light.—Defen- dant said he Lad been away all day and his lamp had gone out because there was no oil in it. He did not think there was any harm in his riding in- to town without a light for in the place where he c-,i nie from he could ride all night if he wished without lighting his lamp.—Mr. J. C. Hughes: That's a nica place to live in! (laughter). The Bench fined him 2s. 6d. and costs. FOR WAGES.—Alfred Hodnett, baker, sued David Williams, Barmouth, for the sum of X2 12s., a month's wages, in lieu of notice. Mr. Arthur Hughes appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. W. Geerge defended.- Hodnet said he agreed to come to the defendant's employ in April, for 16s. per week. On the 12th of June, he agreed to have the wages reduced to 13s. on condition that he should receive R2 at the end of September. A week afterwards Williams complained about the wi being late, and engaged another baker.iws was dismissed. Williams offered him nine shi which ke refused to take, claiming his notice.—Cross-examiucd by Mr. George, WItDg said his master had complained of the bread burnt.—Mr. David Williams, the defendant, sj1, that after he had engaged the plaintiff in .A.p nd complainant was often late, the bread was sour often allowed it to burn. There were bottles beer kept by the plaintiff 011 the premises, ,0 the 19th of June he told him if he did not cleall lie trough, and prevent the bread getting sour, would have to get another man. In the aftei^ the plaintiff had not cleaned the trough and sa1 was not necessary. Witness saw some W hiddeu in a box. They had been spoilt and told him that he could not trust him. plaID 't said Give me my money and I'll go." When lt; ness came back with the money plaintiff refuse I ad take it and claimed a month's notice. He t received many complaints from his customers the bread was sour.—The Bencii considered man was dismissed on justifiable grounds "nd "Ide an order for the amount" offered, namely, nIl shillings. Lion BREACH OF BYE-LAWS. William Jones, Hotel, Barmouth, was summoned by Sergt.y1 for plying a charabanc for hire without tj10 Mr. Arthur Hughes defended and admitted j offence, but pointed out t hat it was only a tecu offence and that Mr. Jones obtained a license > ^g ■ in three days.—Mr. George said lis did not for a penalty. There was another charge^ agal the owner, Ellis Jones, for driving wit."° eti license, but in this case also a license had since j taken out.—The Bench dismissed both cases cautioned all drivers and owners.—-Evan Barmouth, was also summoned for plying f°r without a license, and the Bench asked everT-, be to remember that in future the Bye-laws woul enforced and penalties imposed.—There were charges against John Evans for the plying f°r and for loitering. The first summons wa3_ g drawn.—-Mr. George pointed out that this lo^1 was a great nuisance.—Sergt.
