FESTIVITIES AT FRONFRAITH. On Thursday evening the servants on the estate, together with several friends were entertained at supper at Fronfraith, Mr Colville, head gardener, occupying the chair.—The Chairman, in proposing the health of the happy couple, said Major Bonsall was one whom they all loved and was one they deeply regretted to part with. Though they were sorry to part with Major Bonsall they had no doubt that lie had got a partner in life who would make him happy throughout this natural life (hear, hear). A letter was read from Major Bonsall as follows To the servants and workmen of Eron- j fraith, I think this is the most fitting op- portunity when you are all assembled t.)- gether, and I hope enjoying yourselves, for me to thank yon very much for the beautiftd and hand- some present in the shape of a clock, which you have been kind enough to give me. I shall always value it; but 1 value it a great deal more because of your kind thoughts of me on the occasion of my marriage, which I shall never forget. I hope you are all enjoying yourselves this evening although I am far away my thoughts are with you. Thank- ing you again for jour beautiful and handsome present." The supper was an excellent one, and the company thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The health of other members of the family was drunk, and the party broke up about eleven o'clock. MACHYNLLETH. distribution of frizes to scholars attending fie County Schools, took place yesterday. Our account of the proceedings is unavoidably held over or want of space, and a full report will tmnear in our next is.ue. BERRIEW.

LLANIDLOES. PERSONAL.—Mr E. W. Powell, eldest son of Mr Evan Powell (late of Broomcliffe) read the lessons in the Parish Church on Sunday last. We under- stand Mr Powell will be ordained some time next month. ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday an unfortunate accident occurred to a young man named Evan Davies, who is in the employ of Mr David Mills, Brongjifr. It appears thatl while unloading timber at the railway station he slipped and a tree of large proportions fell down upon his leg and broke it. His com- panions quickly went to his assistance and medical aid was at once sent for. Dr Morris, with his assistant, did all in their power for the unfortunate man, who, we are glad to hear, is progressing favourably. DEDICATION OF Two NEW STAINED GLASS WINDOWS.—On Wednesday the Parish Church was crowded w.th the friends and admirers of the late Rev John Hughes M.A., on the occasion of the unveiling of the two new stained glass windows which have been erected to the memory of hisfriends outside the Parish at a cost of £ 90. A more fitting tribute could not have been made to the deceased gentleman, for while Vicar of the Parish his sole object was the welfare and prosperity of his parishioners generally, which generous disposition had won for him the esteem and affection of everv- one especially of the poorer classes to whom he always gave a helping hand. He was also instru- mental in having the splendid cast window erected to the memory of the then Canon Williams, now Archdeacon of Merioneth, at a cost of about JE500. The deceased, who was fond of music, was very proud of his choir, by whom he was much respected and beloved. The two windows which are a wel- come addition to the north aisle, and have a beauti- ful appearance, represent the following iignres Peter, Jacob, John, Moses. Jeremiah, and David, the contractors being Messrs Savers and Westlake, of Manchester. On the bottom of the windows are inscribed the following words To the Glory of God and in loving memory of Rev. John Hughes, M.A., Vicar of this parish 1885 -1891." This is not the only memorial, for shortly after his death a local memorial took place in the form of alterations to the organ by Messrs. Hill and Sons, Loudon, at a cost of £170. This service commenced with the usual prayers followed by the 84th psalm, and a short lesson by the vicar (Rev. E. 0. Jones, M.A.) The choir then formed in pro- cession and marching to the windows sang hymn 550, Angels voices ever singing," during which the four youngest choristers unveiled the two beau- tiful windows. After the Vicar had pronounced the words of dedication, the choir again formed in procession, refmrning to the chancel, where they rendered very impressively the Nunc Dimittis." They afterwards gave inexcellent style Stainers anthem 0 clap your hands all ye people," which was followed by an organ recital by the Rev. R. S. Edwards, M.A., Minor Canon of Bangor Cathedral which was much appreciated. Programme Chorus- aria, Angels ever bright and fair" (IIandel) fugue in G minor (Bach) vocal solo, God shall wipe away all tears," Miss Marshall (Sullivan) Marche Funebre Chant Seraphiqne (A. Guilmant) andante (Balisle); vocal soiu, H Then shall the righteous shine forth," Mr. Tom Phillips (Handel) Offertoire, Lifebui-e-Wely." A word of praise is due to Miss Marshall and Mr. Tom Phillips for the excellent way in which they rendered their solos. The service closed with the singing of hymn 437, For all the saints who from their labours rest." CRICKET.—A match between Llanidloes and Montgomery was played at Llanidloes yesterday (Friday), and resulted in a win for the home team by three runs. Score :— MONTGOMERY.

SHOW AND FETE- Tt will be seen from our advertising columns that the entries for the New- town Horticultural Society's Show and Fete, to be held in Dolerw Grounds on Friday week, close on Friday next. The prizes offered for garden and farm produce are more extensive than last year, and valuable prizes are offered for competition for horse leaping, turn-outs, galloway races, trotting match, bicy ele races, &a- There are a variety of classes also in the dog show. Brass band contests will form a special feature of the fete. In all de- partments the committee have been most careful to select reliable and experienced judges. Intend- ing competitors should communicate with the secretary, Mr. Ernest G. Morgan. With the varions other attractions which will be provided, the cam- petitions should afford a very enjoyable programme. Cheap excursion trains will be run from all parts. R. W. W. TRIP TO BLACKPOOL. The Royal Welsh Warehouse Recreation Society had their third annual excursion to Blackpool on Saturday last. The first train left Newtown at a quarter to six, calling at Montgomery station for a number of friends from Churehst-oke and Chirbury, and after again picking upat Forden station, the train, which was then quite full, proceeded direct on its long journey. The second contingent started from Llanidloes, and at Llandinam and Moat Lane stations the numbers greatly increased, ti-e train filling up at Abermule and Welshpool. Both ex- cursions arrived at Blackpool before noon, aad though the weather was very wet, it cleared im- mediately after arrival, and a very enjoyable day was spent, the constant round of amusements at this watering place being of such a varied character as to please every taste. Just before the hour for returning some coaches got off the line at Poulton, outside Blackpool, causing a, delay of 3 hours. Happily the weather was fine, and but for this slight mishap, the excursion was altogether a de- lightful trip. A large number availed themselves of the opportunity afforded them by the comioittee s arrangements to remain for 10 days, the remainder returning on Sunday morning. We understand that between 900 and 1000 took advantage of the exceptionally cheap facilities afforded, and the society are to be congratulated that their arrange- ments were so perfect as to give satisfaction to every one. PRESENTATION TO A FARMER.—At the Congrega- tional Schoolroom, Newtown, on Tuesday afternoon, Mr David Hamer, C.C., late of Castell-y-d,;il, was made the recipient of an illuminated address in album form, together with a cheque for £ 58 for the interest he has taken in matters appertaining to the welfare of the tenant farmers in that part of the county. Rev. Powell Williams presided, sup- ported by Mr A. C. Humphreys-Owen, M.P., Mr Rd. Jones (Pertheirio), Mr John Jones. Llanfyllin, &c. The Chairman alluded to the prominent part taken by Mr. Hamer in public affairs, and said that the album contained the names of two hundred sub- scribers, from men like Lord Rendel, and Air. Humphreys-Owen, M.P., down to the nameless agricultural labourer. In defence of Mr. Hamer's interest in county business, he said that the leisured classes in Montgomeryshire were a dwind- ling few. Mansions once the scenes of bright- ness and life, were deserted or occupied by strangers whose interest in the county was of the slightest kind. It was to the farmers they had to look, though he hoped the time would never come when they would be represented entirely by any one class.—Mr. Hamer Jones, the secretary, then read an address.— Mr Humphreys-Owen, who made the presenta- tion, referred to Mr Harrier's public work, and said he thought no man took part in public life with any expectation of getting anything like pecuniary, substantial return for his energies. The rewards which a public man sought, were different; they were twofold. In the first place, he sought, accord- ing to his light, to leave the world somewhat better than he found it (cheers), and that he might do in however humble a situation ho might be. in propor- tion as much in the position of councillor represent- ing the small units of their country as if ho were Prime Minister at the head of a great nation. There was another reward, and that was the appreciation which honest work, however imperfectly done, re- ceived from those for whom it. was intended. For his own part, and he was well on his WHY to the allocated span of human life, lie had never seen a time in which the sincere and persevering efforts of public men to perform their duty had not met with amide and complete recognition at the hands of those around them (cheers). They might, at first, arouse prejudices and hostilities which for a time obscured their fair fame and hampered them in their career, but ultimately and in the long run when the good and the bad fell into their natural perspective the good appeared in i;s proper pro- portions, and the evil appeared as relatively small and overborne by the good (cheers). There was one other point in Mr Hamer's career that he was glad to touch upon, and that was his advocacy of the just claims of the tenant farmer. They might think that he, as a landowner, might feel some hesitation when he came to that part of the subject, bat he did not (cheers). It was impossible for a man engaged in business rela- tions not to have temporary divergent interests, but finally the prosperity of one class made the prosperity of the other. In their system of arguing out their differences, and submitting them to the judgment of impartial bodies of those of their fellow-countrymen not directly interested in them, nothing, to his mind, was more important than that each class should have able, staunch, and honest exponents. In all those qualities he thought they would agree Mr Hamer excelled. He was able, he knew his subject, he was staunch to the convictions he had formed, and was always fair and honest in controversy (cheers). Being such as he was, and having performed such services as he had indicated he thought they were assembled there that day TO perform a most graceful and pleasing task in offer- ing him that testimonial of their regard and appre- ciation, and he had now the very greatest pleasure in presenting to Mr Hamer that testimonial, which, he felt sure. he would always regard as a reward for past services, and an incentive to similar ser- vices in the future (cheers).—After some remarks by Mr J. Lewis, Mr Hamer replied, thanking the subscribers for their kindness, and explaining the causes which had led him to give up farming after 33 years' experience of it. As regards his giving evidence before the Land Commission, he sai l he thought out the matter previously very cai-'fully, and came to the conclusion that, be the results whatever they might be, it was his duty to give the very best evidence he could before thai body (cheers). He knew quite well what it would mean. One of the results would be what it had been, but. never mind, he had done his duty—(cheers) -and in times of darkness he had nothing to support him more than the consciousness that he had done what was right (cheers).—Mr R. Jones (Pertheirin), after referring to Mr Hamer's work on behalf of tenant farmers, said it was exceedingly brave of Mr Hamer to give evidence before the Land Com- missioners, who had found the information he gave them of great practical value.—Brief addresses were also delivered by Mr J. Jones (Llanfyllin) and Rev. G. Phillips. ———— LLANWNOG. CHURCH RESTORATION BAZAAR, Yesterday.— For some years, the parishioners of Llanwnog have been filled with a desire to see their ancient and beloved parish chmch restored, and it was wizh this object in view that they have worked most assiduously during the past two years, headed by the following committee: Revs. O. Parry, vicar, and O. K. Evans (secretary), Mr. and Mrs. Wain- wright, Mr. and Mrs. Kinsey, Mr. Hughes, Mr. and Mrs. Shelton, Mrs. and Miss Hickman, Mrs. Snow, Mrs. Breeze, Mrs. Phillips, Miss Jones, Messrs. David Jones, Ward, Watkins (Henfryn) and Rowlands. The bazaar should have taken place twelve months ago, but owing to a similar function being performed at Carno, it was decided to to defer it until yesterday, when it- took place under the most auspicious circumstances ai the British Schools, Caersws. During the morning various members of the committee had been hard at work in preparing- the stalls, &c., with the result that when the opening ceremony was performed, the schoolroom presented a most bright and attractive appearance. The stalls, which were laden with articles of a useful and fancy nature, were presided over by the fol- lowing ladies :—No. 1: Mrs. Hickman, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Hole, Mrs. PhilRps, Misses Hickman, Adams, and Ethel Adams. No. 2: Mrs. Snow, Mrs. Wainwright, Mrs and Miss F. Kinsey, Mrs. Breeze, Misses [Jones, (Hannah Hughes, and Savage. Provision stall: Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Wainwright. Refreshment stall: Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Rogers, Misses Olive Hammond, Jennie Jones, Cleaton, and Sarah Hughes. Flower stall: Misses Snow, Mary Hickman, and Savage. Grocery stall: Miss Ruby Hickman. Miss Williams, who had a stall, was unavoidably prevented from being present, and in her absence, Mrs. A. Davies and Mrs. Richards took charge of the stall. Various amusements were provided for the entertainment of the visitors, and these included a "Fine Art" gallery in charge of Rev. O. K. William?; a phonograph (lent by Messrs. New & Mayne, Westminster), under the superin- tendance of Mr. E. P. McKie. Concerts were, also given during the day, of which Rev. W. D. Roberts, Llanidloes, was the conductoi. The following, amonget others, took part: Rev. T. Enoch, town; Airs. Tanner-Francis, Airs, and Miss Hick- man, Miss lkiu, Llanidloes; Airs. Breese, Messrs. Alaerpne, G. Phillips, and K. Cleaton. Numerous articles were contributed to the various stails, Messrs. ■ S. Fry Co. and Messrs. Lever Bros. being represented by their respective manufactures. Flowers were sent by Captain Adams and All. Palmer, Newtown, whilst amongst others who were conspicuous by reason of their generosity ap- pears the name of Airs. Tudor, Bron;:euiog, near Oswestry. Shortly after half past one o'clocnc La:!y Pryce-Jones, accompanied by Aliss Pryce-Jones, entered the Schoolroom for the purpose of per- forming the opening ceremony.

Jones (late of Park), Newtown, Mrs, Miss, and Mr ilamer (Tynyreithen).—The Vicar, in his opening re;narks, said that it was unnecessary for him to intioduee to them Lady Pryce-Jones, whose kind, familiar smile was so well known 10 them ail, as also that of Sir Pryce Pryce-Jones, whose reputation extended over nearly the whole of the civilised woild by reason of his energy and enterprise. It was with great diffidence that he asW Ladv Pryee-Jones — whose kindness, generosity, and benevolence were so well known- -,o come there that day. because he remembered well the old proverb on the cruelty of over-working ,:1:) willing steed. However, her ladyship's letter at once dis" atmed him of all fear, and he felt that there were still some who were not weary in well-doing (applause), lie could dilate further, hu: ilS Lady Piyce-Jones was present, he would ask her to open the bazaar (applause),— Lady Pryce-Jones expressed the great pleasure it gave her to come there to assist them for the good of the Church, and hoped that before the close of the bazaar, all the beautiful articles on the stalls wouid be sold and the committee rewarded for their efforts in getting those articles together. She had great, pleasure in declaring the bazaar open (applause).—-Dr Snow in proposing a vote of thanks to her ladyship for performing tho opening cere- mony, alluded to the many acts of kindness and generosity which Sir Pryee and Lady Pryce-Jones had performed in connection with the parish, and also with the cliapel-of-ease at Caersws.—Air Wainwright seconded the proposition, which was carried with acclamation.—The sale was then pro- ceeded with. LLANS1LIN. lii-.NT AUDIT.—Sir Wutkin's rent audit, was held on Friday. A large number of (he tenants attended. 1 n the evening an excellent. dinner was provided by Mrs. Hughes, the hostess.
