BAPTIST UNION OF WALES. ANNUAL MEETINGS AT PORTH. v The annual meetings of the Baptist Union of Wales were inaugurated on Monday at Porth, Rhondda Valley, and the reception accorded the delegates by the members of the Salem Church was most cordial. Salem, with its membership of be- tween 700 and 800, is one of the strongest churches of the denomination in the valley, and is at pre- sent under the pastorate of the Rev Rhys B. Jones, a young minister, who, with the co-operation of friends of other churches, has made excellent arrangements for the Union meetings, and has i J c 11 Ai, r'7An .1"1. -hn tuir. tounu iiosis ioraii Ullt; IVV ueiugdtca Wiiv aic LUI" week visiting Porth from all the counties of North and South Wales. Among the Union officials who arrived on Monday were the Revs Dr J. A. Morris, Aberystwyth (the President); W. P. Williams, Landore (the President-elect) E. Edmunds, Swan- sea (secretary) Mr H. Abrahams (treasurer) the Revs Principal Edwards, Cardiff; W. Morris, Treorky C. Davies, Cardiff; E. K. Jones, Brymbo; and others. A large number of meetings were held on Mon- day, but the majority of them were of a private and preliminary character. The Union Executive Committee and the Book Committee met in Salem Chapel, the Sunday School and Temperance Com- mittees in the Primitive Methodist Chapel, and the Foreign Mission and Building Committees in the Tabernacle Chapel. At each of these gatherings reports were adopted for presentation to the General Conference of the Union which met on Tuesday morning. Another interesting gathering in the Tabernacle was a private conference between the officials of the Union and the representatives of several English Baptist churches in South Wales with the view of devising a scheme for the formation of the English Baptist Churches of Wales iqto an English wing of the Welsh Union. This movement has long been contemplated, the English Churches referred to finding themselves more in harmony with the close oommumon views of the Welsh Union than with the open Communion practices of the Baptist Union of England. The report of this conference is likely to lead to an in- teresting discussion. The only public meeting during the afternoon was a gathering for Sunday School children. Mr Richard Jones, of Portmodoc, presided. Mr Benjamin Davies, of Penycae, Ruabon, read a paper, and some attractive model lessons designed to demonstrate modern methods of Sunday school teaching were given by Mr J Davies-Brown, of Cardiff. At 4 30 the delegates were entertained at a reception in the Salem schoolroom by the Rev Rhys B. Jones. A public meeting in the evening was under the presidency of Mr Llewellyn Griffiths, of Cwmavon. The Rev W- n Williams, of CiI fnwv r- delivered a stirrins: address on aggressive temperance methods, laying special stress on the need of providing counter attractions to public houses, and of refusing church membership to all connected with the trade." The Rev T. Richards also addressed the meeting, i;nd pleaded for greater z.-al and efficiency in con- nection with Sunday schoul work.

BARMOUTH. NURSIXG ASSOCIATION.—On Sunday week the annual collection towards the funds of this Associ- ation was taken at Caersalem C.M. Chapel, and a good snm was collected. COACHING TRIP.-T brough the courtesy of Mr Arthur M. Jones, coach proprietor, the members of the Barmouth Male Voice Party and a few friends 'h' I were on luesudj, evening, alter Dusiness nours, taken by him in one of his stage coaches for an outing as far as Llanbedr. It being a pleasant evening the company enjoyed themselves well. Mr Jones was thanked by all for his forethought and generosity. LOCAL PuzzLBS.—The cause of the newly ap- pointed surveyor withdrawing from his acceptance of office as Surveyor,-will the Local Government. Board sanction the application of the Urban Dis- trict Council to extend their borrowing powers ? What will be the next game of battle dcre and shuttle cock ? HEAT.—Since the beginning of this month the weather here has been the finest expeiienced for years. The only complaint one hears of is that the heat of mid-day is by several degrees too high. If so, why not take a few hours sea trip into the bay*? The boat owners complain bitterly that their pleasure boats are badly patronized by the visitors. VISITORS.—On Saturday the trains were loaded with visitors, over 200 arrived by the fast train due at 4 o'clock, for 64 of whom rooms were taken at Minymor House, and for over 70 at the Way View House. These two parties came under the auspices of the Holiday Resort Association, which provides board,, lodgings, and trips either by boats or chara- bancs including railway fares from London for the sum of 45s per week. A large number of Roman Catholic students, being the first contingent, also arrived from one of their colleges in Lancashire. The town on Saturday evening showed a brisk appearance. LIST OF VOTERS.—A correspondent asks what is being done bv the Liberal local committee with regard to having the names of all the Liberal electors oil the list of voters fer the year. When the old committee was in power, this and other matters, such as arranging who was to appear before the revising barrister to support the claims, were attended to. Has the work been entrusted to the local ministers to see to ? ENGLISH SERVICES.—These are now held every Sunday at all the Nonconformist Chapels. On Sunday morning, at the Congregational Chapel, Mr Ellis M. Evans, of the Post Office, sang a solo— The Dream of Paradise," and the Royal Male Voice Party gave a selection of sacred music. There was a large congregation, the preacher being the Rev Zachariah Mather, the resident minister. A collection was made in aid of the building fund, when a substantial amount was received. NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPEL.—The Roman Catholics have bought a plot of land on Cellfechan property for the purpose of crectinl, a new and a more commodious place of worship, which, it is expected, will be ready early next year. Father Wilcock is very assiduous with Lis ministerial work, and local affairs do not seem to absorb much of his time and energy. ENTERTAINMENT.—Mr Tom Abraham, who is ever on the alert to make the requirements of the town as a sea-side resort equal to the demand, has arranged for a series of concerts for visitors. On Saturday the first of the entertainments which are to be held nightly during the summer months, was given in a large marquee, on the Tennis Lawn, adjoining Northfield Hall. Several artists of high Ij, repute have been engaged. COUNTY SCHOOL BAZAAR.—The final arrange- -ments for the opening of the Bazaar in aid of the Building fund are nearly completed and the pro- spects are very encouraging. The managers and the ladies of the School district have entered heart and soul into the work and it is expected that the debt which now exists will be at the closing of the Bazaar melted down considerably, and the burden which now rests on the shoulders of the Managers removed. On Monday, Bank Holiday and the day before the Bazaar Mrs David Charles Edwards, Hafod-v-Bryn, Llanbedr, will hold a sale of work in her grounds the proceeds of which will be devoted to the same object as those of the Bazaar. OBITUARY.—On Monday week one of the oldest inhabitants and the last surviving daughter of the late Capt Hugh Roberts, Glandwr and Borthwen House, died at Belle Vue Residence in the 83tli year ot her age. She was connected with some or the most esteemed and ancient families of old Barmouth, and by her demise a link with the past has been broken, her sister and brother, the Rev Hugh Roberts, rector of Aberdaron, having pre- deceased her some years ago. The only remaining relatives are Mr John Evans, J.P., Porkington- terrace, and his two sisters. The deceased had been blessed with good health, retaining her mental faculties up to the time of her death. She was a faithful member of St David's Welsh Church, which she recollected being built. Previous to its erection the parents and all the children attended regularly at Llanaber Church, which was over three miles distant from Glandwr. Nothing excited her more than the mention of an attempt being made to disestablish the Church of England. Miss Margaret Roberts' lifetime was spent at Barmoutb, where she was much respected and beloved. She as well as other members of the family were very kind to the poor and needy. The funeral took place on Wednesday week, when the remains were laid to rest in the family grave at Llanaber church- yard.

Makers o mohair and best classes of lusters are wel engaged. In thewarehouses business is fairly good

Llanwyd y llys yn mhell cvn arnser dechreu ac yr oedd canoedd y tuallan vn methu myned i mewn. 1 Cymerodd y Barnwr Grantham ei sedd am haner awr wedi deg, a galwyd ar y rheithwyr beb golli amser. Gan for1rIr Moss ar ran y diffynyddion wedi gwrthod y Trieithwyr wysiwyd gan yr is-sir- ydd gweithredol, gorfu i drengholydd y sir alw rheithwyr eraill. Tyngwyd i mewn Mri David Roberts, Caeathraw; Richard Jones, Llandwrog; J. Oliver, Llandwrog; W. Owen, Rhostryfan; John Griffith, Bryn; Wm Griffith, Llanwnda; Richard Williams, Rhostryfan; John Williams. Llanwnda. D. T. Edwards, Caernarfon; W. Gwenlyn Evans, Caernarfon; Richard Pritchard, Caernarfon; a Joseph Roberts, Caernarfon. Galwyd hefyd ar Mr W. Brocklebank, Parcia, ond dywedodd ei fod yn denant i Arglwydd Penrhyn ac felly, esgusodwyd ef. Cyhuddwyd Owen Jonah Owen, John Thomas Jones, John Owen (Rhiwlas), John Owen (Llanrug), David Thomas, Richard Williams, ac R.J. Williams, o ddilyn John Evans yn anghyfreithlawn ar yr lleg; o Fehefin, gan fwriadu ei orfodi i beidio dilyn ei al- .1 wedieaeth fel Drif farciwr yn Chwarel y Penrhyn. Erlynid ar ran Arglwydd Penrhyn gan Mr 1. C. Gill, K.C., gyda yr hwn yr ocdd_ Mr Trevor Lloyd, yn cael eu cynorthwyo gan Mri Carter, Vincent a Douglas Jones. Diffynwyd gan Mr S. Moss, A.S. (yn cael ei gy- farwyddo gan Mri Lloyd-George a George). Wrth agor ei araeth dros yr erlyniad, dywedodd Mr Gill fod yr achos yma yn un pwysig. Nid oedd y ffeithiau yn nglyn ag ef yn anhawdd en deall; ac yr oedd y gyfraith yn cglur iawn ar y pwnc os gellid profi y ffeithiau fel y gosodid hwynt^erbron. Gwyddai y rheithwyr, wrth gwrs, beth oedd natur y cyhuddiadau; ac o ba betli y codasant. Cododd o helynt y Penrhyn. Nid oedd a fynent bwy, ar hyn o bryd, a'r gwabaniaetb rhwng y meistr a'r gweithwyr; ond gallai ddweyd wrthynt ddarfod i'r chwarelau gael eu cau tua diwedd y flwyddyn ddiweddaf. Yna eglurodd Mr Gill ar fap y gwahanol fanau lie y dychwelai y gweithwyr o'r chwarel i'r pentref, ac aeth yn mlaen i ddyweyd ddarfod i'r dvrfa wedi eyfarfod y gweithwyr mewn un man redeg i lawr i fan arall lie y gallent gyfar- fod a'r lleill oeddynt yn dychwelyd, nes o'r diwedd iddynt fyned yn un dyrfa fawr gerllaw gorsaf y rheilffordd. At yr hyn a ddigwyddodd rhwng y pwvnt yma a He o'r enw Rachub, y gelwid sylw y rheitbwyr yn fwyaf neillduol. Derbyniodd y dorf yn y fan hon 18 neu 20 o weithwyr a ddaethent o'r chwarel drwy waeddi a hwtio a phob math o anmharch. Galwent hwynt yn fradwyr," cyth- reuliaid." Dywedid y dylid eu lladd, ac anmharchid hwynt yn mbob modd. Safai y heddgeidwaid rbwng y gweitbwvr a'r dorf, ond dilynodd y dorf bob cam o'r ffordd i'w cartrefi, yn cael eu bygwth bob cam o'r ffordd. Yn awr yr oedd peth fel hyn yn brofedigaeth chwerw i bob dyn. Peth fel hyn oedd yn debyg i beri ofn ar ddyn pur wangalon, a'i rwystro rhag dychwelyd i'w waith, ac nid oedd o gwbl yn anmhosibl nad oedd yn y dyrfa a ddilynai y gweithwyr hyn ami un fyddai yn falch o ddych- welyd at ei waith ond ei fod yn ofni y dorf. Byddai iddo ef alw nifer o dystion i ddweyd mai y diffyn- yddion oeddvnt vn arwain y dorf yma. Yn awr rhoddai y gyfraith amddiffyniad'i weithwyr rhag triniaeth fel hon oherwydd pasiwyd deddf arbenig i'w rwystro. Amddiffynai y gyfraith ddynion bob amser rhag ymosodiad ond tybid,ei bod hefyd yn bwysig i amddiffyn gweithwyr oeddynt yn cario allan eu dvledswyddau a'u barn ar gwestiwnllafur- awl rhag ilia eu cydweithwyr nad oeddynt yn cyd- weled a hwynt. Yn ol y ddeddf a basiwyd yn 1875 yr oedd yn drosedd i weithredu yn y fath fodd ag i geisio gorfodi personau i wneyd rliywbeth nad oedd ganddo ef awydd i'w wneyd, ac yr oedd ganddo yr bawl i'w wneyd. Gobeitliiai y byddai i ddyfarniad y rheithwyr yn yr achos yma fod yn ddigon clir, fel na byddai ambeuaoth yn meddwl neb yn nghylch sefyllfa dynion ddymunent weithio; ac nad oedd v gyfraith yn ymyryd a'r dynion hyny na ddymunent weitbio. Dyna lle'r amlygid pwysig- rwydd yr achos. Dywedodd Mr Moss fod llawer wedi ei ddyweyd yn nghyleh amcan y dynion yma yn dilyn. Dywedid mai torf afreolus ydoedd ac mai eu harnean oedd rhwystro y dynion i ddychwelyd at en gwaith. Yn awr dylid cofio fod Undeb yn beth cyfrerthlawn ac fod streics yn cael eu cyfreithloni hyd yn nod pan fyddai masnach yn eael cam. Nid oedd dim yn anghyfreithlon yn ngwaith y dynion yma yn cytuno a'u gilydd i wrthwynebu Arglwydd Pen- rhyn. Yr oedd ganddynt berffaith hawl i wneud hyny. Yr unig gwestiwn i'w benderfynu oedd y Dwnc a aetli y dorf yma ar ol John Evans gyda'r amcan i'w orfodi ef i beidio gweithio yn y chwareL Os caent allan mai torf yn gwneud arddangosiad ydoedd; nid oedd y ffaith eu bod yn eyfarfod i wneud 'hyny yn ddigon i gael dynion yn euog. Beth oedd we.li eu dwyn yn nghyd ond y ffaith fod rhywbeth anarferol ar ddigwydd-fod tua 45 neu 60 o heddgeidwaid wedi dyfod i Fethesda, ac yr oedd y bobl yn llawn cywreinrwydd i weled y gweithwyr yn cael eu hebrwng siartref gan yr hedd- geidwaid yma. Ni wnaethant dim ond datgan eu hanfoddlonrwydd o waith y dynion hyn yn myned i weithio, a gallai ddweyd nad oedd datgan teim- ladau felly yn drosedd. Yr oedd gwahaniaetb rhwng datgan teimlad o anfoddlonrwydd a cheisio gorfodi dynion i beidio gweithio. Daliai nad oedd vr heddgeidwaid yn gywir I-(.l u manylion, a gof- ynai gyda phob gobaith i'r ri-imwyr pwy oeddynt debycaf o gredu, ai yr hed<lgeidwaid na adnabu- ent y dynion neu y bobl hyny oeddynt yn eu hadnabod ar hvd eu hoes. G llwyd yr heddgeitj- waid yma i Fethesda i aindcliffyn swyddogion Arg- lwydd Penrhyn ac onid oedd yn rhesymol tybied iddynt wneud camgymeriad yn eu cyffro pan oedd llu o wragedd a uhlant yn gwaeddi ac yn bwtio. Galwai sylw yn mhellach at y ffaith na wnaed ym- osodiod ar na niwed i neb. Dylai y rheithwyr yn "1-_l!. .1. nghyntaf gael allan fod y aon yn cti.cuius, ac mai ei hamcan oedd rhwystro John Evans rhag gweithio. Gwadai ef yn y modd mwyaf pendant yr hyn a bonaiyr heddgeidwaid yn nghylch cvmeriad y dorf Nid oeddynt, yno i fygwth a pheri ofn fel yr honai yr heddgeidwaid a byddai iddo alw nifer luosog o dvstion i brofi vn wahanol ac i bron hefyd nad oedd y diffynyddion yn euog o'r hyn eu cyhuddid o hono. Cymcrai y dynion un olwg ar y modd y trinid hwy yn v chwarel; ac Arglwydd Penrhyn olwg arall arbethau, a'r canlyniad oedd streic- Yr oedd aran Ar°"lwydrl Penrhyn oerffaith hawl i beidio rhoddi ffordd, ac yr oedd gan y gweithwyr hefyd gan Ar°"lwydrl Penrhyn oerffaith hawl i beidio rhoddi ffordd, ac yr oedd gan y gweithwyr hefyd _J _1 _1. L 1 -'1 yr nn hawl, a'r canlyniad oea iou y uuwy oiaiu yn benderfynol o beidio rhoddi i mewn. Cofied y rheithwyr fod cyfrifoldeb mawr ar eu hysgwyddau. Credai y byddai idilynt gyfiawni eu dyledswyddau yn gydwvbodol, ac y byddai iddynt fwrw rheith- farn o ddieuog." Bu y rheithwvr allan o'r llys am tua deugain mynyd, a phaI; ddyciiwelasant dywedodd Mr Gwenlyn Evans, y blaenor, y dymunent gymeryd yr holl achosion gyda'u gilydd. Tra yn conderamo yr arddanorosiadau a gymerent le yn Methesda, caent na phrofwyd y diffynvddion yn euog. Derbyniwyd y rheithfarn gyrla banllefau o gym- eradwyacth vn y llys, a plian glywodd y dorf oddi- allan y cynhwrf, clywid y banllefai mwyaf bydd- arol.. „ Ataliwyd v swn yn y llys vn fuan gan y Barnwr ond parhai y gymeradwaeth tuallan am hir amser.

Y RIIYFEL YN AFFRICA. YMLADD GER EDENSBURG. Y BOERIAID YN LLOSGI TREF. Ddydd Mawrth, yr \yythnos o'r blaen daeth new- ydd (AEdenbm-g i'r perwyl fod nifer o Rimington's Guides wedi rhuthro yn sydyn ar gommando Boeraidd ar l'ryn tuag ugain milldir i'r dwyrain, a thna toriad dydd, gwnaed rhuthr ar dair oehr y Boeriaid gan en gorfodi i ymostwng. Cymerwyd 19 yn garcharorion, yn cynwys y commandant Barhuisen, Boer cyfrwys, a fu'n dryllio trenau yn ardal Edenburg. Aeth nifer o'r Boeriaid o dan y Commandant Scheepers i Murray sbu rg-tref gyda phoblogaeth o 1000, a lie y megir ceffylau, rhwng Nelspoort a Graaf Reinet—llosgasant adeilad cyhoeddus ac amryw dai. Mae Fouche, a. ddiangodd o Traskei, wedi ym- ddansros eer Barkly East, ac wedi cael adgyf- nerthion. Mae y milwyr Prydeinig yn yn rhy wan i fyned alian i'w gyfarfod heb beryglu y drei. Dywed Arglwydd Kitchener mewn brysneges ddechreu'r wythnos fod 40 o Foeriaid wedi ni lladd er dechreu Gorphenaf, 27 wedi eu cl'vyto, cymerw yo 132 yn garcharorion, yruostyngodd 21, cymerwyd rneddiant o 149 o reifflau, 7000 o ergydion, 312 o wageni, a lluows o stoc. Edrydd Arglwydd Kitchener y cymerwyd medd- iant o nifer fawr o garcharorion, stoc, a gynau er's pan geisiodd De Wet groesi i Cape Colony yn niwedd Chwefror. Edrydd neges o Lourenco Marques y bu brwydr fawr rhwng Machadodorp a Lydenburg, a gorch- fygwyd commando Boeraidd mawr ger Belfast a chawsant golledion trymion, 50 wedi eu lladd, a nifer fawr wedi eu clwyfo. Adroddir y clwyfwyd Capten R. B. Webb, o'r Driscoll's Scouts, yn ei goes chwith ar y 5ed cyfisol, a dau ddiwrnod yn ddiweddarach clwyfwyd Capten R. Terry, o Gatrawd Manchester, a phump o ddynion. Glaniodd Mri Sauer a Merriman, y cenadon kffricanaidd a fu yn y wlad bon, yn Cape Town ddydd Mercher, ond ni wnaed unrhyw gyffro pan laniasant. Adroddir fod y gweithredianal1 yn y nos yn Nhalaeth Afon Orange yn cael effaith dda. Derbyniwyd llythyr yn rhoddi manylion am frwydr Vlakfontein, lie y dywedir ddarfod i'r Boer- iaid saethn clwyfedigion. Dyweil yrysgrifenydd y daliwyd German yn y weithred, a saethwyd ef yn farw. Edrydd Arglwydd Kitchener o Pretoria yr ymosodwyd ar safle Heddlu Dcheudir Affrica ddydd lau yn Houtkop, i'r gogledd-orllewin o Vereeniging (yr orsaf lie v croesa y rheillffordd y Vaal) gan y a a _1 .1À"V> r- 1.r> Boeriaid, a llwyddasant i gymeryu lueuuiauu u 11<011 wn mawr. Yna gyrwyd hwy ymaith. Lladdwyd tri o'r Prydeiniaid a chlwyfwyd -saith. Bu colofn dan Arglwydd Methuen yn ymladd ar y 5ed ilr dwyrain o Zeerust, pan y lladdwyd tri o Foeriaid, cymerwyd yn garcharorion 43, a medd- ianwyd rhai gwageni, rheidtau, a gwartheg. Clwy- fwyd dau o'r Prydeiniaid. Partbed ymholiad yr Ysgrifenydd rhyfel yn nglyn a'r frwydr yn Warmbaths, dywed Arglwydd Kitchener y bu brwydr ugain milldir o'r lie hwnw. yn Klerk's Store, pryd y daetb Kitchener's Scouts ar draws y Boeriaid yn ddisymwth. Dywed Arg- lwydd Kitchener nad ydyw yn anfon unrhyw neges os na bydd o bwys, gyda chanlyniad penodol. Yn yr acbos hwn yr oedd y swyddog a lywyddai ar y pryd wedi rhoddi manylion rhy lawn o'r hyn a gy- merodd le. Nid yw ef (Arglwydd Kitchener) yn cefnogi ceisio gwneyd ysgarmes fechan yn frwydr fawr. Ymwelwyd ;a'r Lieutenant W. S. Hern, enw yr hwn a grybwyllwyd yn nglyn a'r-gweithred iadau yn Vlakfontein. Cvrhaeddodd Mr Hern i Loegr m ddydd Gwener, ac ymwelwyd ag ef yn Nghaerdydd. Gwrthodai ddyweyd dim parthed saethu y clwyffed- igion, ond cadarnhai y mynegiad a wnaed gan yr Ysgrifenydd Rhyfel yn Nny'r Cyffredin ddydd lau. Pan gyrhaeddodd i Johannesburg adroddodd i gyn- rycbiolydd Arglwydd Kitchener y gwelodd y Boer- iaid yn saethu y clwyfedigion. Enfyn Arglwydd Kichener ddau neges pwysig o Pretoria. Yn y cyntaf dywed y cyrhaeddodd colofn y Cadfridog Ellipt i Heilbron, yn Nhalaeth Afon Orange, o'r dwyrain. Yn ystod ei orymdaitb, daeth y Milwriad Broad- wood ar draws Reitz yn ddisymwth, a cbymerodd feddiant o aelodau o Lywodraeth y Dalaeth Rydd, ond Mr Steyn ac un dyn arall. Diangodd Mr Steyn vn llewys ei grys ond daliwyd ei frawd. Hefyd, cafwyd hyd i bapyrau perthynol i Lywodraeth y Boers. Hefyd, dywed y negeseuon y cyrhaeddodd dwy golofn Brydeinig i Zeerust, yn y Transvaal, fu mewn cyilwr o warchae yn ystod y misoedd di- weddaf. Dywed neges answyddogol fod gweithrediadau cyffredinol wedi dechreu yn erbyn y Boeriaid y Cape Colony. Dydd Llun, dywedai Arglwydd Kitchener fod Mrs Scbalk Burger wedi ei dwyn i Pretoria. Dywedir fod Kitchener wedi penderfynu ar gyn- llun newydd i orphen ylrbyfel, nid.amgen defnyddio gwyr meirch yn lie gwyr traed. 6s darfu i'r Boeriaid saethu clwyfedigion yn Vlakfontein, dywed Kruger, meddir, na wnaethant ddim gwaeth nag a wnaeth y Prydeiniaid yn Elandslaagte, a'u bod wedi eu cythruddo gan far-. bareidd-dra'r Saeson yn llosgi ffermvdd ac yn cam- drin gwragedd a phlant.

Local Volunteers in Camp. UNDER CANVAS AT PORTHCAWL. The South Wales Volunteer Brigade, consisting of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th Battalions of the South Wales Borderers, and the 2nd Battalion Welsh Regiment, went into camp at Porthcawl on Saturday for a week's training. The special trains conveying the men and the baggage commenced to arrive at PorthcavqJabout-4 o'clock in tho afternoon, and by 10 o'clock the whole brigade were landed safely in camp, to the number of 3,733. The en- campment is delightfully situated on the high ground along the sea from between Porthcawl and the Rest Convalescent Home. and has an excellent supply of water laid on. The 2nd V.B. Welsh occupy the College Field close to the Esplanade, and about half a mile beyond, on Lock's Common, are encamped all the battalions of the South Wales Borderers. The 1st South Wales Borderers, whose members are drawn from the County of Brecon, number 650 in camp.; the 2nd battalion, representing the districts of Chepstow, Tredegar, Rhym- ney, Blackwood, and Risca, 800; the 3rd. whose headquarters are at Pontypool, 650.; the 4th from the districts of Newport, Abergavenny, and Usk, 630; and the 5th, from Montgomeryshire and the Border Counties, and including the Aberystwyth University Corps, 480 the 2nd Welsh, from Bridg- end and Port Talbot, 523; making a total of 3,733 men under canvas, which is not as good a muster as was anticipated. Although the weather on Saturday was cloudy and rather unsettled, seeming to indicate a change for the worse, Sunday broke bright and clear, with a cooling breeze that came as a great relief after the excessive heat of the past week. There was a church parade for each battalion in the morning at 11. After Divine service in the 4th Borderers' quarters, Colonel A. Goss presented Bandmaster Gabb and Quartermaster-Sergt. A. H. Babbage the long service medal. During the day thousands of trippers, who came into Porthcawl by train and road, visited the camp. Amongst the officers and men in camp are several who have been on active service in South Africa; they are distinguishable by a piece of ribbon worn on the left breast, and by their soldierly bearing. Tbe 3rd Borderers still have 72 members at the front. The annual inspection of the 1st, 2nd, and 5th S.W.B. will be held on Wednesday by Colonel R. C. Hare, C.B. j commanding 24th Regimental District.

GOGINAN. SCHOLASTIC.—The Rev Wm. M Davifs has been successful in passing Ordinary Latin of the Welsh Degree Examinations, and Mr John James, Cwmerfyn, the Intermediate Hebrew. Since their connection with the U.C.W. both have been able to make a step in advance each year. Mr Math. H. Evans, also a bright scholar, has passed his Welsh Intermediate. JEZREEL.—On Saturday last news arrived here of the death of Mr John Mason of Ystrad Rhondda. Mr Mason was a native of this place, having for many years superintended an important section of the Goginan Mines. When the mines stopped he removed to the Rhondda Valley and there carried on an extensive business as a grocer, &c. He however, during all his time, annually subscribed towards the cause at Jezreel where for many years he had been a faithful precentor and deacon. The remains were interred at Jezreel on Wednesday. SUNDAY SCHOOL TRIP.-Tlie, 'Sunday School of Dyffryn C.M. Chapel had their annual outing on Friday last, for which they were favoured with glorious weather. The scholars, teachers, and friends, to the number of about 85, started at seven o'clock from Goginan, and drove in brakes to Aberayron, reaching the latter place about 11 o'clock. The seashore proved the greatest attraction, and the children enjoyed themselves to their hearts content bathing, paddling, and gathering shell-fish. Tea was provided at the 'Vestry of the Methodist Chapel, when the ladies who attended at the tables were Mrs Evans, Loveden-place; Miss Jenkins, Goginan Fach; Mrs Jones, Miners Villa; Miss Richards, Hafodau Mrs Davies, Dollwen, Mrs Bradshaw, Mrs Jones, and Mrs Thomas. The arrangements had been entrusted to an energetic committee, consisting of the Rev W. M, Davies (pastor), Messrs Daniel Morgan, Lewis Richards, and J. Evans (sboolmaster). During the day there were some exciting scrambles for oranges sweets, etc., amongst the children, kindly provided by friends. Tha return journey was entered upon at five o'clock, Goginan being reached after a most successful outing, marred by not a single unpleasant incident, at about ten o'clock.
