The baud played at intervals in the field during the evening. After the prizes had been distributed to the successful winners, Mr Thomas Watkin, in eulogistic terms, proposed a vote of thauka to the High Sheriff and Mrs Hilton for the treat. He said the day had been an enjoyable one, and they had observed that the most innocent of creatures, such as the little birds and lambs, enjoyed themselves more than anything else. That day's en- joyment wouid do them good, would do the children good, and their health would benefit by it. He ad- mired seeing the children throw themselves so thoroughly into the competitions, and he hoped they would take a lesson from it to do well in whatever they uiidettook to do, to have regard to quality as well as quantity. Mr Hilton, as High Sheriff, as they were awu,re, held a very high office of social position, but from that elevated position he did not forget tha people d Llinfair. Mr Hilton had a long pur,"e and a bit? iieltrt-a heart big enough to treat 1 he whole neighbourhood. The vote was seconded by Mr G. E lmunds, Bank, and supported by the Rov. T. D. James, and carried with great cheering and" three- times-three." Three cheers for each member of the family were then called for and warmly acceded to. Mr Hilton, in acknowledging the vote of thanks, said it afforded Mrs Hilton and himself great satisfaction to find they had all enjoyed themselves. He thanked the IRdies who presided at the tea and the members of th committee for the valuable assistance rendered by them ,to enable the treat being carried out satis- factorily. The company then dispersed, after a most enjoyable day, the band taking the lead and marching to the town. A large quantity of currant cake, bread, tea and sugar, &c,, waa distributed to the poor
