Gardening in Cardiganshire. PRESENTATION. On Wednesday evening last, at the close of the summer's course in horticulture, Mr Pickard, the horticultural lecturer was made the recipient of a valuable and handsome present by the members of his class, as a slight token of their respect and regard for him. The present took the form of a massive marble timepiece, bearing the following inscription in silver :-Cyflwvnedig i J. Lawson Pickard, Ysw, Gan Ddosparth Garddwrol Ysgolfeistri Ceredigion ym mhrif Ysgol Cymru. Cadeirydd, R. E. Bevan, Llanarth Ysgrifenydd G., Ivor Davies Cross Inn, Awst, 1900. An inlaid walnut secretaire, an ox-hide travelling bag, a swan" stylographic pen, and a framed group photograph, the whole forming an exceedingly handsome present. The class consists mainly oi schoolmasters from the midland and southern dis- tricts of Cardiganshire. In addition to the students there were present the Mayor, Mr R. Ellis, Mr Dan Jenkins, and Mr Evan H. James, representing the Technical Instruction committee. The Mayor (Alderman C.M. Williams) was voted to the chair, and in opening the proceedings he said that when he was invited to attend he was assured that a speech was not expected from him. This was fortunate as he had so severe a cold that he could hard speak at all. Hardly it not been from his interest in the class, and in the subject they were studying he would not have ventured from the house. Speaking as the Mayor, he gave the schoolmasters a hearty welcome to Aberystwyth, and as a member of the Technical Instruction Committee, he expressed his gratifi- cation at the number of pupils who had attended the class. He felt so pleased with the success of the course that he assured them he would be most happy to do whatever he could towards extending similar classes and teaching (hear, hear.) He paid a high tribute to the popularity and usefulness of Mr Pickard's work, not only in Cardiganshire, but in the adjacent counties as well. He was sure the College Authorities could not have secured a man better fitted for his work or exhibiting more enthusiasm for it than Mr Pickard. Already there were gratifying evidences in many parts of the county that Mr Pickard had succeeded in awakening a genuine interest in gardening amongst the rural residents, and they were now paying much attention to the cultivation of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and bees (applause). He asked Mr Bevan, Llanarth, to make the presentation to Mr Pickard. Mr Bevan, in the name of all his fellow-students, thanked the Technical Instruction Committee for granting the course. When he applied for the course he was under the impression that the work would only last for an hour or two each day, and that they would have the afternoons and evenings free. When they reached Aberystwyth, however, Mr Pickard interested them so much, and they found his enthusiasm to be so contagious that they had worked very hard indeed. Still, they had been able to mix the work with a fair amount of pleasure. He had great pleasure in saying that it had fallen to his lot to ask Mr Pickard's acceptance of these slight tokens of his worth. The clock was intended not so much to remind him when to begin work, as he was always ready for that (laughter), but to remind him when it was time to lefve off (laughter and hear, hear). The pen, he said, would be useful in answering the letters they intended writing him after they went down, the desk would hold a goodly stock of writing paper for the purpose, and if writing was still TOO much trouble, why, they had provided a travelling bag so that he could pack up his clothes and come and visit them (hear, hear). He had much pleasure in making the presentation (cheers). Mr Pickard, in acknowledgment, said he could only thank them very heartily, not alone for the value of the gifts, though that was great, but he should value them most for the kindly feelings which bad prompted the gifts. He felt immensely proud of the fact that he was personal friends with nearly every schoolmaster in the county, and it would now be his greater ambition to retain that friendship. Their handsome gifts would always remind him of the happy (Jays which they had spent together (cheers). Mr Lloyd, New Quay, in a flattering speech, said that the schoolmasters only regarded the present they had given Mr Pickard as a slight token of their esteem for him. Personally, he was a reserved man and rather dreaded the idea of leaving home to join the class. But he, in common with all the other students, had felt perfectly at home with Mr Pickard, although he had worked them far harder than had been expected, though he must confess that the work was exceedingly pleasant. No one was afraid of asking Mr Pickard a questiou, as his replies were always courteous and clear and to the point (applause). Mr Dan Jenkins, C.C., Ffaldybrenin, speaking in a dual capacity as a schoolmaster and as a member of the Technical Instruction Committee, said that he was always pleased to be of service to his colleagues, but in this case he hoped the service would extend beyond the schoolmasters to the school children and from them to the parents (hear, hear). Mr Robert Ellis, C.C., expressed the pleasure he felt at being present at that gathering. He felt delighted at the useful work that was being done by Mr Pickard in Cardiganshire, and said that so far as the means could allow he should always sup- port the horticultural department of technical in- struction. Mr J. R. Davies, Aberayron, paid a warm tribute of praise to Mr Pickard for his painstaking lectures and demonstrations, and caused much laughter by describing how some of them worked until mid- night, and then commenced to revise their notes at six in the morning. He cordially hoped that Mr Pickard would continue to be as successful as he bad hitherto been (applause). Mr Evan H. James, C.C., urged the schoolmasters to put the knowledge they had gained to practical use. Nothing would tempt the Technical Instruc- tion Committee so much to spend money as to see that their efforts were appreciated (hear, hear). Mr Davies, Newcastle Emlyn, proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the Mayor for presiding, and this was seconded by Mr Morgan, Crosslinn, and carried with musical honours. The Welsh National Anthem brought the meet- ing to a close.

Frongoch Lead Mines. The strike which threatened to mar the progress of this mine was brought to a satisfactory con- clusion at the end of last week. The history of the I dispute seems to be as follows :—About 250 Welsh miners employed at the Frongoch Lead Mires, in Cardiganshire, came out on strike on Wednesday, August 15tb, the management, it is reported, having discharged a young Welsh miner without, according to the opinion of his fellow-countrymen, just cause. Chief constable Howell Evans was communicated with, and a posse of police located at the mine. The Welshmen prevented the Italian miners, of whom there are still fifty engaged, from going to work, and additional police protection was applied for, fearing hostilities. A telegram, however, reached the chief constable late on that Wednesday 1 night countermanding this, the dispute having been settled. The cause for dismissal iq sairl to be as follows:- On Tuesday Captain Hein found John Davies and another miner riding on a tram without lights, con- trary to the regulations of the mine. The captain reported the matter to the manager, and Davies was instantly discharged, although tike miner accompanying him was allowed to proceed to his work. The following day the Welsh miners held a meeting and marked their protest against Davies's dismissal for such a trivial offence. It was further decided to appeal to the manager to reconsider his decision and allow the dis- charged miner to resume work. The manager declining, the Welsh miners came out on strike in a body, and on Wednesday week they mustered at the mine, some brandishing sticks to prevent the Italian miners entering the mine. They also refused to allow the engineers to descend to attend to the electrical plant and pumping machinery-It matter of serious consequence, but were subse- quently prevailed upon to allow the engineers to enter the mine. Having ascertained that Mr O. R. Jones, Her Majesty's Inspector of Mines, was in the vicinity, the strikers and Captain Hein communica- ted with him in the hope of an amicable settlement of the dispute. Inspector Jones attended at the mine unexpectedly, and the par- ticulars of the case having been explained to him. he, while admitting it was very wrong to ride on a tram without a light in any mine, did not approve of Davies's dismissal, and suggested that the man should be reinstated. Captain Hein said this could not be done until the return of the manager, who had left for Italy. The strikers arranged for a further meeting on Thursday, but before this was held a telegram had been received from Mr Nogara directing the reinstatement of the discharged miner. This news was received with satisfaction, and the miners returned to work on Friday.

NEWCASTLE EMLYN. ACCIDENT.—A regrettable accident befell Mike Sullivan, a lad of 17, at this place on Sunday night. Sullivan hails 'from Swansea and is in the employ of Mr Danter, a well-known variety show man, who is at present touring in the district. It appears that the lad, while in the act of driving a heavily laden van down the Cardigan-road, fell under the wheels at the top of Porth-st., the load passing over one of his legs, fracturing the thigh bone, and severely bruising the other. Dr. James Thomas was immediately in attendance, and in addition to exercising his medical skill, he had the unfortunate lad removed to his own residence, where he re- ceived every attention and kindness at the hands of the doctor. There being no suitable accommo- dation in town for treating such cases, the sufferer was removed on Monday to the Swansea Infirmary, Dr. Thomas accompanying him on the railway journey. LLANFYRNACH RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL.— The monthly meeting was held at the Guardians' Board Room on Friday last, Mr Evan Thomas (chairman) presiding.—The Cairman moved, Mr T. Bowen seconded, and it was unanimously resolved that the road labourers be instructed to clip the sides of all hedges abutting on highways, and that the owners of such hedges be called upon to trim the top thereof.—A letter from the Local Govern- ment Board was read calling attention to the water supply of Llanfyrnach, and was referred to the Inspector of Nuisances for his report thereon.— The Medical Officer (Dr. Lloyd), and the Inspector of Nuisances (Mr John Bowen) were re-appointed for the year commencing 30th September next at salaries of £ 20 and S7 10s respectively.—The In- spector of Nuisances read his report, from which it appeared that the privies at Tegryn Board School were in a very unsatisfactory state.—The Clerk was directed to call the attention of the Chairman of the School Board to the matter. LLANDYSSUL RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL.—The monthly meeting was held at the Guardians Board Room, Newcastle Emlyn, on Friday last, Mr J. D. Lewis presiding.—The letter of the Local Govern- ment Board respecting the Medical Officer of Health's annual report for 1899 was again read, and the consideration thereof adjourned for a month to "enable Dr. Powell to attend.—Dr. Powell (medical officer), and Mr J. Bowen (inspector of nuisances), were re-appointed to their respective offices for the ensuing year at the same rate of salary, viz., E30 and E21 10s.—Mr Griffith Davies moved that an extra road labourer be employed for the highways in the parish of Penbryn.—Mr D. C. Jcnes sug- gested to Mr Davies that he should postpone his motion until the next meeting to enable members to examine the annual returns of expenditure, which are now being printed, to which he agreed.— The Inspector of Nuisances read his report.—Mr J. H. Evans moved, and Mr G. Davies seconded, and it was resolved that the road leading from Blaen- machnog to Trebedw, which has been repaired and kept in repair by the Great Western Railway Com- pany for the last few years, be taken over by the Council.—The Surveyor reported that he was per- fectly satisfied with the condition of the road.

The Assessment Committee having applied for consent to appear in the name of the guardians as respondents to the appeal to Petty Sessions against the last poor rate for the parish of Llandyssul by Messrs D.

Evans that such consent be granted, and that the clerk be instructed to appear for the committee at the hearing of the appeal, and that he also be empowered to engage valuers to give evidence in support of the assessment. Mr D. C. Jones intimated that for his part he was prepared to withdraw his appeal, on the understanding that the re-assessment of the whole Union would be carried out. Mr Edward Mathias' tender for millpuff beds at 17s 6d, 16s6d,and 14s 6d each,and for high back and low back arm chairs at 9s 6d and 6d each respectively was accepted. SPORTS. The twelfth annual Athletic Sports which were postponed from August Bank Holiday on account of the inclement weather, were held on Wednesday, the 22nd. The weather was not at all favourable, heavy showers falling throughout the afternoon, which, in addition, to making it uncomfortable to the onlookers made the ground very slippery and a good many falls took place, which happily were not serious, though a young lad, Jenkin Llewelyn Nicholas, son of Mr Nicholas, stonecutter, had his shoulder bone dislocated, but he is now progressing favourably.

United Counties Hunters' Show at Carmarthen. The United Counties Hunters' Society held its thirty-sixth annual exhibition of hunters and colts on Thursday in Ystrad Park, Carmarthen. Ac- cording to the number of entries shown in the catalogue the show this year shows an improve- ment upon the last show. Referring to the entries for the past few years, for instance, one gets the following figures :-1894, 140; 1895, 152; 1896, 148; 1897,125; 1898,135; 1899, 137 1900,147. It was not alone in the number of entries, how- ever, that the show evinced signs of healthy progress, but in the quality of the exhibits and in the way in which the exhibition was patronized by the public. The President of the Society is Earl Cawdor, who succeeded in that office to his late honoured father, and who, it need hardly be said, carries out his duties with all the dignity and use- fulness which characterises his public work.

County Court. Thursday, August 23rd, 1900, before His Honour Judge William Evans. A MINING TRANSACTION". Henry Francis, manager for Messrs. Green and Co.. iron founders, Aberystwyth, appeared as plaintiff in a claim for £ 18 14s 7d brought against Edwin Hoa!, Drws-y-Coed Copper Mine, Nantlle, Carnarvonshire. Mr A. J. Hughes appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr J. B. Allenson, Carnarvon, for the defendant. Order and delivery was admitted, the point at issue being the liability of the defend- ant. Mr Allenson said he could not produce any of the correspondence or accounts, as his client was not now in the Mine Company's service. Mr Hughes said the claim was for roller shells supplied, and put in the order for the same, and the correspondence which had taken place on the matter.-In reply to Mr Allenson, Francis said his firm began supplying goods to the Mineral States Corporation, Ltd., in 1895. They supplied hundreds of pounds worth, and in every case received an order signed by Capt Hoal. He did not know that Capt Hoal was in the employ of the Mineral States Corporation, Ltd., at a weekly salary. After the Corporation went into liquida- tion, a ledger account was opened with Mr Hoal, but he did not know that Mr Hoal was acting as manager for the receiver. Mr Francis said he had been sent to examine the mine on behalf of J. G. Green, plaintiff's brother, who intended joining the Syndicate, but he did not go down on behalf of the plaintiffs' them selves. dr Allenson contended that plaintiffs should have sued the members of the Syndicate, and not his client, who was only a servant. It was the regular custom and practice for the mine captain to give orders in his own name. If the plaintiffs had applied to the members of the Syndicate no doubt the money would have been paid.—The Judge suggested that the members of the Syndicate should be added as co-defendants in the action, which course, he thought, would facilitate matters.—Mr Allenson agreed to supply the names of the members of the Syndicate, and both parties having agreed to the suggestion of the Judge, the case was adjourned to the next court, in order that the necessary writs might be served. LOSS OF A HEIFER. John George, farmer, Bryngarw, Trawscoed, brought an action against John Jones and Annie Jones, Gilfachlas Farm, Trawscoed, to recover £6 in respect of the loss of a heifer. The action was tried before a jury, consisting of Richard Richards, Gwarfelin; Thomas E. Jones, Bachyrhew Stephen Jones, Penygraig Morgan Morris, Piercefield and Lewis Evan Jones, Tancastell. Mr A. J. Hughes appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Stanley Griffith Jones (instiucted by Messrs Smith, Davies, Sc. Co.) for the defendants. Mr Hughes, in opening the case, said on Saturday, 7th July, the heifer trespassed on the defendants' land. Mrs Jones and her son saw it, and they put a dog, generally known as a cu sodlo," to chase it off. This the dog did, and chased the heifer not only off defen- dants' land, but until it got into a neighbour's field. There it came in contact with a gate or some obstruction, and from the injuries it received, the animal died.-Plaintifl who was first called, said he saw Mrs Jones on the following Monday, and told her You did an awful thing on Saturday." She replied Yeq, but I did not intend to do it." Mrs Jones also said they would pay for the heifer, and asked him (plaintiff) not to put them to any costs. The heifer was found in a ditch, and from its appearance, he would judge it had broken its neck by coming in contact with tke gate.—David Williams, Llwvnmarchgwilym, Lledrod, gave corroborative evidence.—Jane George, plaintiff's wife. proved seeing defendants' dog coursing the heifer.—Elizabeth Owens, and Thomas Hop- kins (Hafodwenog), gave further evidence on plaintiff's behalf.—John Evans stated be sold the dog which chased the heifer to Mrs Jones. He told her it was a sharp biter, or, as they were known in Wales, a sodlwr."—A question was asked by the judge as to the breed of this par- ticular dog, but no one could give the information. Mr Stanley Jones asserted it was only a fancy dog, and Mr. Arthur Hughes said it was one of those useful dogs." It was suggested that the dog which was at the railway station should be brought into court to determine its breed, and this was eventu- ally done. The examination, however, gave little material assistance in determining the pedigree, except that the animal seemed to be a mongrel of the most pronounced type.—The defence was a complete refutation of the plaintiff's evidence. —Ann Jones, one of the defendants, said she drove the heifer out of their field. She, however, did not set the dog on the animal; in fact, she had no dog with her. This was about five o'clock, whereas plaintiff said the heifer was chased about eight o'clock. She also denied having had any conversa- tion with the plaintiff on the following Monday.- Tom Hugh Jones, John Jones (defendant), and Ann Jones, gave corroborative evidence.—The jury eventually found for the plaintiff in the sum of £4 10s., and a verdict for this amount was given. MINSTRELS IN COURT. In the case of H. Harker Nicholls, High-street, z7: Towyn, a minstrel, who brought an action against Gilbert. Pai 1 wav-t er race. Aberystwytb. to recover a sum of £ 50, being damages for breach of contract, Mr. W. P. Owen, who appeared for the plaintiff, suggested that as there was more business on the list than could be transacted that day, the case should be adjourned till the next court.—Mr. Arthur Hughes, who appeared for the defendant, had no objection to the postponement, and the judge gave his consent. CONFESSIONS OF AN EGG MERCHANT. William Richards, 6, Pier-street, Aberystwyth, sued H. F. Dugmore, egg merchant, for the suru of £9 Is, £ 3 of which had been paid into court, for eggs supplied.—Mr T. J. Samuel, solicitor, ap- peared for the plaintiff.—Defendant's contention was that lie had only been able to sell two out of the four cases sent, the eggs being improperly packed in bulrushes instead of clean straw, and were not according to order.—Plaintiff stated that he only packed his eggs in clean straw, and kept two men at the work, and sent between 60,000 and 80,000 away weekly. He never used bulrushes in packing.—Two packers named Arthur Jenkins and Wm. Jones, corroborated this statement.— -S" .=-« Defendant said straw could not be obtained in this neighbourhood for packing eggs, but plaintiff, recalled, said he obtained his straw from the njui.it>! y tUiJ tilso tliiiit sent in china crate, wiitin it was suitable.-Def endant ventured some interesting information upon the egg. An egg was considered new laid until it was a week old, and was con- sidered a fresh egg until it was a month old. In London all brown eggs were marked" new laid." An egg over a month old would be termed a Continental egg and was generally used in the manufacture of ice cream (laughter). Confectioners were supposed to use a large quantity of stale eggs, but that was not so. They did years ago, but not now.—The Judge: I suppose they use something else to get the flavonr- Defendant also remarked that if he had a good fresh egg, he was not in any hurry to sell it. The pontiff's eggs, which he had been unable to sell, had been destroyed by the Great Western Railway Company.—The Judge desired further information upon the nature of the packing, and defendant agreed to call an employee of the Railway Company to give evidence on the point.— He had not returned, however, by the time the Court rose, and the case had, consequently, to be adjourned. MASTER AND SERTANT. William Hughes, Cefnllech, Nanteos, farm labourer, sued David Jones, Brynrychen, for Z8, wages due. Mr. T. J. Samuel appeared for plaintiff, and Mr. A. J. Hughes for the defendant. Plaintiff said he agreed to work for defendant for £21 a year, but he left on the 19th. April last, because defendant told him to go.—Cross examined plaintiff admitted he bad refused to work two mares which were in foal, because he wished to work one which was not. His father had asked Mr. Jones to take him back, and he said he was willing. Mr. Jones, however, had not asked him (witness) to return.—The plaintiff was now asked whether he would return to defendant's employ, but he replied in the negative.—Judgment was given for the defendant, a counterclaim for Z9 for breach of 80ntract being withdrawn. A TAILOR'S BILL. David James, tailor, Aberystwyth, sued David Lewis, Rbeidol place, for 10s., being 6s. balance for suit of clothes and 4s. money lent. Defendant, who was represented by Mr. T. J. Samuel, admitted the former amount, and had paid it into court, but denied ever having had the 4s from James.-Plaintiff also could not produce any acknowledgment for the 4s.—Judgment was given the plaintiff for the amount paid into court.
