They were Evan George, Thomas Jones, John Jones, and J. H. Mills. T. Jones and Mills had half-a-gallon in front of them. Witness thereupon drew the landlady's attention to them.

I A letter was read from Mr. G V TT County Surveyor, in reference to the st 11 clllfs, paving the streets. He was afraid that he not undertake to supply the Council with 100 cu c by the first week in October. So far as it w not interfere with the road work, he would supU]U as quickly as possible, at the Quarry Stone at the rate of 3s 3d per ton. COUNCILLOR Hamar asked if they were contmually to go in for expenditures on stone. As v they would shortly be laying the pipes for the new water supply, he was of opinion that the question of the stoue should be defered until the water ques- tion was decided.—Councillor Daniel Davies sug- gested that the matter of the stone be left over for a month, and in the meantime the Committee should ascertain the net cost of supplying the Council with stone (delivered). At the present time the Council could not estimate within a Is or two par ton. He thought it they would be un- wise for them to procure a large quantity of stone before they had ascertained the cost. He moved to that effect.—The Mayor having suggested that the matter should bo referred to the Scavenging Committee, it was decided that power be given to that Committee to get what quantity of stone was required, the price not to exceed 6s 6d per ton, de. livered.—Other business followed.

NEWTOWN HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. A N N U A L FETE. AN UNQUALIFIED SUCCESS. A programme wiiicii provides plenty of variety is certain to attract a large crowd, and therefore it was naturally expected that, favoured with fine weather, the committee of the KewtawTl Horticul- tural Society would be adequately compensated for the varied and attractive programme they provided for rhe delectation of Lhe general public. Hence it was that LLrgcJ cro YDS came to enjoy themselves, and that their anticipations were fully realised there is not the least doubt. They expected to see and here plenty, aud they unquestionably had a heaped measure—certainly their money's worth. Despite the threateniugs of the early morning, the day developed into one of warm sunshine, and con- sequently people were not afraid to Vèmtnre out of doors. It is estimated that over six thousaud people entered the show ground daring the day, and the committee have every reason to fee! satisfied with the result of their latest and best success. As last year the show was agaiu located on the Dolerw grounds, by the kind permission of Sir P"yce Pryce-Jones, the horticultural, refreshment, and official tents being fitted up ou the slope, whilst suitable tracks for the horse and cycle races were laid out on the fiat. Ihe arrangement in the horticultural trnt might have been better, the groups being arranged in the centre with a lot of tabling surrounding them, thus hiding them from view. The tables, too, were not satisfactorily arranged. whilst beneath were a lot of boxes, baskets, etc., which might easily have been deposi- ted outside the tent luring the show. Another place for improvement is the judging, which, instead of commencing at eleven o'clock, was d iayed over three-quarters of an hour, and there being R;aite sufficient work for four judges, the adjudication was not compl, tel until a quarter past two o'clock—over an hour after tin openiug of the gates. TAERE was noticeable a great impruvement in the cottagers' classes over previous exhibitions, the vegetables being exceptionally fine. The groups also were better than last year, but there was a great falling off in the exhibits by nurserymen. Altogether there were four groups, one by Mr Parry Jones being not for competition; coming out from the background was a large ficus elastica, beneath which was a handsome flowering begonia, and surrounded at tlie foot by a number of ferns and foliage plants. The first prize for groups was taken by Sir Pryce Pryce-Jones (gardener, MR G. Siiute), which was composed of a quantity of stove and greenhouse plants, but not so attractively arranged as the second prize group—which was exhibited by Major E. Pryce-Jones, M.P. The pnze group was principally conspicuous for its tuberous begonias and early flowering chrysanthe- mums. In Major Pryce-Jones' admirably arranged group was a magnificent HHam for the centre- piece, coleui, fuchsia, zea japonica, begonias, selaginella paaecum surrounding, whilst there was a llice green border of maidenhair fern. interspersed with begonia rex and marguerites. Mr Edward Powell, Plasybryu, was also represented by an attractive group, which was very highly commended by the judges. The table decorations at this show were a great feature, there being six nicely arranged tables in the competition. Mr B. Doman came first, whose table was conspicuous for its combination and colour. A bronze rustic vase, set off with white lilaims. pink carnations, grasses and maidenhair fern, covered a piece of pale green pongee silk laid out in the centre of the table. Rustic vases, similarly decorated, were deposited at the corners, interspersed with sprays of pink carnations, ivy leaf geranium, white berbena and grasses, with asparagns fern for back-ground. Mrs Edward Powell was a very good second with an epergne iu the centre containing yellow marguerites, adiantum frondes and grasses, worked in at the foot with selagenella moss. At the corners were vases sim- ilarly arranged. Mrs Copnall, who took first at Welshpool, was highly commended, and although the arrangement was similar in style, still it was not so complete in every detail. Mrs Hawksworth's table was conspicuous for its magnificent roses, but the arrangement was rather heavy. Other competitors were Mr Elwell, Neuaddfraith, and Mr Isaac Cooke, Shrewsbury, who secured first prize in the classes for a lady's spray and gentleman's button-hole, Mrs Hawksworth being se ond in the latter, whilst Mr Elwell was similarly placed for the lady's spray. In the exhibits by nurserymen, Messrs Jones and Son, Shrewsoury, had on show a fine collection of single and double dahlias, cactus dahlias and pon-pons, Their stand was also conspicuous for a chaplet of dark foliage and white lilies. Messrs Dickson and Son, of Chester aud Newtown, exhibited a quantity of herbaceous flowers, phloxes, gladioli, crotous, caladiums, palms, and dracaenas, with a splendid lot of cooking and dessert apples, whilst a box of cut dahlias was much admired. A tastefully arranged stand was that of Messrs Clibran and Sons, of Altrincham, who showed a splendid variety of herbaceous cut flowers, and a superb lot of dahlias and pon-pons. There was also a nice show of stove and greenhouse plants.—In the division for special prizes, two exhibitors in different classes for the best collection of vegetables, six varieties, were disqualified through exhibiting more than the number of varieties specified in the sche- dule. In each case they would in all proba- bility have taken first prize. One had two varieties of potatoes when one variety would have been just sufficient, whilst the other competitor who was disqualified had eight varieties. The honey division was a failure, there being only two entrants in one out of four classes. Mr Purton, Aberystwyth, took first prize, as at Welshpool, for extracted honey, Mr Edward Powell being second. There was not much difference to choose between the two lots as to ths point of colour, but Mr Purton's was more riper. The farm produce competition was extremely good as a whole, some fine specimens of wheat and bar- ley being exhibited considering the time of year. Unfortunately, some of the competitors had not complied with the conditions, and were conse- quently disqualified, the offence being that of cutting the straw. The roots showed how dry the season had been, many of them being rough in their growth, especially about thtj roots, some of which appeared to have been suffering from insect pest. The dog show was indeed a success, and there is every prospect that if this feature is continued at future shows better results will attend it. The quality of dogslexhibited was extremely good consider ing the small prizes which were offered. The setters, fox terriers, and collies mads up remarkably good classes, there being some noted winners dmongst them. The local classes were very fair, with a sprink- ling of some fine dogs. With such a good begin- ning, there is every prospect for a successful dog show to be held at Newtown iu future years. The officers of the Society this year are as follows :—Presidents, Sir Pryce Pryce-Jones. and Mr AC Humphreys-Owen, M.P.; chairman of the I general committee, Mr Edward Powell; vice- chairman, Mr William Francis hon treasurer, Mr J Lloyd Hughes (N. P. Bank); secretary, Mr Eraest C Morgan horticultural committee, Messrs A Higginson, Hollyoak, Howcroft, J Lawson, J Oliver, G Shute, and Smith. The duties of judges were ably discharged by the following gentlemen :— Hortieultural exhibits, Mr J Lambert (l'owis Castle Gardens), Mr Jones (Shrewsbury) both of whom also adjudicated upon the table decorations with Mrs Proctor; cottage gardens. Mr Higginson (Milford), Mr Norman (Bsrthddu); farm produce, Mr E Elwell (Nyoddfraith), Mr E W Savage (Glandulas); honey. Mr Spence: butter and poultry, Mr R Thompson (Welshpool) horse leaping, races, and turnouts, Mr A E Evans (Wrexham), Mr D H Owen (Shrewsbury), Mr C Wadsworth (Milford Hall); bicycle races, Mr Martin Woosnam, Mr A W Pryco- Jones; dog show, Mr Geo Helliwell (Sheffield). Clerk of the course, Mr W Jones; clerk of the scales, Mr F W Watchorn, F. R.C.V.S.; starter, Mr W C H Jones; handipapper of bicycle races, Mr H P Ellis (Liverpool) stewards, Messrs H E Breesc, A D Dawson, E C Jones, J H Jones, P Wilson Jones, F R Lloyd, J Lloyd, T Norton, W E Pryce- Jones, W F Richards, F W Watchorn, F.R.C.V.S.— The adjudicator of the band contests was Mr J Üre Hume, Sunderland, and the committee con- sisted of the following:—Messrs W Francis, J H Jones, P Wilson .Innes, E Owen, W P Phillips, T M Taylor. The admission committee was as follows Messrs J Bird, A S Cooke, G H Ellison, R Goodwin, C M Kershaw. Morley E Park, W Pryce, B B Row- ands, W E Sayer, C Ta) lor and W F Thomas. Great interest was centred in the brass band COFL^STS- '^NT of nine bands which entered in the FJUI„ 3TEP competition aud the chief contest only ^URN°D up, but it is gratifying to know TIRT TL ^OUI hands were good Jcomhina- .-N.

GOSSA-ES WERE AGAIN successful, "hey P.AJED the same selection, viz., Halevv" A*S the third band—Llan Festiniog, but the tone of E winning combination was infinitely superior to I that of the third band, which was led by the well- known conductor—Mr Gladney. It was, undoubt- edly, a grand musical treat. As an all-round I performance, Gossages were far in front of the others. This baud, we may point out, is a well known competitor at other brass band competitions, and has won several prizes. Local bands might well take a hint from this combination, the varia- tions in tone, and the cressendo and fortissimo passages being beautifully and carefully observed, and not one member was to be found b10wÎlJg harder than the other. One thing we noticed in connection with the winning band was that the balance and blending of the different parts had, evidently, been carefully studied, and among them was a very good diapson tone in the bass. There is no doubt that had local musicians the advantage of hearing snh excellent bands as the competitoi-s proved themselves to be they would greatly benefit by the experience. We do not make these remarks dis- paragingly, but hope tl1e competitioTl of yesterday will prove to be a stimulus for the future. The bands played in the following order :—Wingates Temoeranee Band, YVesthoughton, Mr. W. Rimmer conductor Llan Festiniog Silver Band, Mr. John Giadney conductor; Gossage's Soap Works Band, Widnes, Mr. J. J. Brady conductor Fochriw Brass Band, Mr. 11. Dawson conductor.
