MILITARY FUNERAL AT NEWTOWN
MILITARY FUNERAL AT NEWTOWN On Thursday afternoon the remains of Sergt.- Major Ba.rnsda.le, M.Y.C., were interred in Newtown Churchyard with military honours. Significant of the gallant Sergeant's popularity was the largo muster of omcers and troopers of the regiment and members of the Volunteer Battalion S.W.B., as well as of the general public. AU along the route from Crescent-street to the Churchyard the streets were deeply lined by townspeople, while the ceremony at the graveside was performed in the presence of a large congre- gation. The omcers present were Captain Holmesworth, adjutant of the 5th Yeomanry Brigade, and Captain E. G. Williams Vaughan, squadron commander. A firing party of 16 were under command of Squadron Sergt.-Major Jestico. The bearers were Sergeants D. Evans, J. Hamer, W. Ll. Powell, and D. Jones, all of deceased's squadron, and the pall-bearers Sgt.-Major Myhill, Denbighshire Hussars, Reg. Sgt.-Major Barratt, and Quartermasters E. L. Jones and J. E. Scotson. The order of the procession was as follows:— Firing party under Sgt.-Major Jestico the band of the regiment under BandmascerWhittingha.m; hearse with the pall bearers on either side; the four sergeant bearers; deceased's charger carrying the jack boots reversed; mourning ccach with Mrs Barnsdale, daughter, and relatives, and immediate friends of the deceased; a squadron of the Montgomeryshire Yeomanry Cavalry, headed by Captains Holmesworth and Williams Vaughan; general public; and a detachment of the 5th V.B. S.W.B., under command of Lieut.-Surgeoa. Raywood and Sgt.-Major Gibson. At the head of the coffin were placed deceased's helmet and sword, and at the foot the Union Jack, to which were pinned the Sergeant-Major's medals won on the field of battle. A short service was conducted at the house by Rev T. Enoch, after which the cortege movad off for the Churchyard to the solemn strains of the 'Dead March.' At tha Church the service was jointly conducted by the Rector, Rev J. S. Lewis, and Rev T. Enoch, and while the body was being removed to the grave- side Mr Macrone played the Dead March on the organ. Three volleys were fired over the grave. Many people lingered in their last look into the resting place of a gallant soldier, a respected citizen, and a true friend. The arrangements were faithfully carried out by Reg. Sgt.-Major Barratt, Newtown, and the beautiful coffin was made by Corporal J. Manuel. Wreaths were sent by Mr H. Barnsdale, Cambridge (brother), Mrs Wright, Stamford (sister), Reg.

PRESENTATION TO MR. J. LLOYD…
PRESENTATION TO MR. J. LLOYD HUGHES. In the Bear Hotel, on Friday evening, Mr J. Lleyd Hughes, of the National Provincial Pank, Towyn, met a representative gathering of his Newtown friends, by whom he was presented with a tangible mark of esteem in recognition of his departure from the town. Mr Hughes's long period of usefulness in Newtown is universally acknowledged, and his removal to Towyn in the early part of the year was much regretted, par- ticularly by those who were associated with him in the various societies and organizations for which he rendered signal service. The Innrmary, the Freemasons, the Bowling Club, the Shake- sperean Club, the Horticultural Society, and other institutions enlisted his active assistance, and indeed all projects which affected the welfare of the town, and its inhabitants had his loyal support. It was, therefore, with mingled pl<*asure and regret that several of his more intimate friends recently initiated a subscription list in appreciation of so worthy a citizen. At the pre- sentation ceremony there were present Mr and Mrs Lloyd Hughes; Mr Forster, postmaster, Mr G. H. Eilison, Mf P. W. Jones, Mr G. Edwards, National Provincial Bank, Mr Grimths, North and South Wales Bank. Mr and Mrs Evan Hum- phreys, Mr Wm. Watkin, solicitor, Mr Henry Morgan, Mr Marston, Mr Kershaw, Mr James, Mr Robert Buckley, Mr Edward Buokley, M" Harry Breese, Mr John Owen, Mr Edward OWeD, and Mr Park. Mr FoRBTER, who was voted to the ubair, made a few felicitous remarks appropriate to the occa- sion, and then called upon Mr Ellison to make the presentation, which took tha form of a choicely designed black marble timepiece inlaid with gold and granite, together with a pair of beautiful bronze ornaments. The timepiece bore the in- scription Presented to Mr J. Lloyd Hughee, on the occasion of his leaving Newtown for Towyn, by a few of his friends." Mr ELLisoN said it afforded him the greatest possible pleasure to accept the duty of making & presentation to one who was so worthy of it. The valuable services which Mr Hughes had rendered to Newtown were appreciated in the highest degree. To various local bodies in town he had devoted much time and labour, and in everything that required his secretarial abilities he bad been ever ready to assist. This presentation found its origin in the Bowling Club, of which Mr Hughes was an old and esteemed member, and Mr Pryce Wilson Jones having very willingly consented to act as secretary a subscription list was opened. Had the subscriptions not been limited to five shillings, he was sure a much larger sum would have been subscribed. Proceeding, Mr Ellison referred to the kindly manner in which Newtown invariably received strangers. He himself came to Newtown thirty years ago, and had always found its people to be of a very sociable and agreeable character. This was examplined in the numerous testimonials which were presented to worthy citizens. He asked Mr Hughes to accept the presents, not for their intrinsic worth, but fer the good feeling that prompted them. He wished him God speed in his new sphere of work, and concluded with the observation that when Mr Hughea's earthly time had run, this clock would indicate to generations yet unborn how highly he had been respected by those amongst whom he lived in Newtown (applause). Mr WATKiN. in an appropriate speech, alluded to the services which Mr Hughes had rendered on behalf of the Shakesperean Club, of which he was a member. Mr KE&SHAw emphasised the good work which Mr Hughes accomplished as treasurer to the Horticultural Society, and eulogised the many good qualities by which he had endeared himself to all who knew him. Mr ROBERT BucKLBY referred to the invaluable assistance Mr Hughes had rendered to the Bowling Club ia his capacity as secretary—a position in which only the most capable of men could give all round satisfaction. On behalf of the club he much regretted Mr Hughea's departure from the town, and wished him all possible success. -Mr EvAN HUMPHREYS spoke on behalf of the free masons, and bore testimony to the excellent work Mr Hughes had performed in the interests of that order.—Mr P. W. JoNES said he had the honour of succeeding Mr Hughes as secretary to the bowling club. and his experience of the diin- culties that were associated with that omce, con- vinced him of the ability and wonderful amount of tact and managerial capacity which Mr Hughes possessed, for his secretarial work gave the utmost satisfaction.—Mr GRIFFITHS spoke from a bankers point of view. He remarked that he had always regarded Mr Hughes a< an honourable opponent, and thought this a ntting occasion jto express the good feeling that had ever existed between Mr Hughes and all the bank officials in Newtown.— Mr HUGHES, who was very warmly received, on rising to respond, said he was deeply impressed with the kind expressions which had been made respecting him, and was greatly pleased to think that his services in Newtown had been so much appreciated. What he had done was out of a sense of duty, and it had afforded him much pleasure to act in the various capacities they had enumerated. Ha could not express himself in the manner he should like to. Once he prepared a. speech—it was, he thought, a beautiful speech- on the occasion of his leaving Lampeter. He studied it well, but when he got up to deliver it he found it had gone (laughter). The presenta- tion he received; but the subscribers did not receive the speech (laughter). He had, therefore, made up his mind on this occasion not to prepare a speech, preferring rather to take after the manner of one gentleman from whom a great speech waa expected, but who simply got up and said-" I thank you gentlemen most heartily," and sat down (laughter).—A vote of thanks t. Mr Forster for presiding brought a very pleasant meetÎDa- to a close.
