The opening of the new Market Building is not to be allowed to pass without a suitable ceremony. A deputation of the Chamber of Trade interviewed the District Council on the subject on Tuesday, and a committee of the two bodies have since seen Mr. J. M. Randall, with the result that an appropriate ceremony will be held to-morrow. This is as it should be. The erection of the spacious and ornate Market Building marks an era in the growth and advancement of the town which ought not to be passed by unnoticed. When one compares the old wooden structures which formed such an eye-sore in one of the chief business thoroughfares of the town with the present handsome row of shops and admirable covered market, there is room for gratifica- tion at the great improvement which has been effected. Though seemingly paradoxical, it is a maxim that the greater the number of shops in a thoroughfare the larger the trade done by each. Caroline Street should there- fore benefit materially, as well as aesthetic- ally, by the improvement. But a matter of paramount importance is whether the new Market will bring additional trade to the town. Some pessimists revel in asserting that Bridgend has seen its best days, and that its trade is declining. It is the privilege of the tradesman, as it is of the farmer, to grumble, but there is evidence, despite gloomy prognostications, that the trade of the town is in a fairly satisfactory state. One evidence of prosperity is the frequent opening of new shops, for which there seems to be an endless demand. With the continued devel- opment of the neighbouring part of the coal- field, trade is likely to grow more rapidly. The new Market ought to add to the general trade of the town. The customers it attracts may be expected to do business with the shops and the town generally should benefit. The key, of course, is in the hands of the trades- man—quality and price. • • • A new situation arises in connection with the opening of the new Market. Hitherto tradesmen have been allowed to expose goods for sale outside their establishments, practi- cally with impunity. The worst offenders in this respect have been the grocers and pro- vision merchants in displaying fruit and vegetables. Occasional complaints anent the obstructions are heard from pedestrians, and comments have been made by the magistrates on temptation being offered to pilferers, but hitherto no measures have been taken to put a stop to the practice. Under the Bridgend Market Act of 1836 offenders are liable to be brought before the magistrates and fined, and Lord Dunraven's Agent this week advertises that the Act will in future be strictly en- forced. This will mean, we assume, the end of what is really an undesirable practice all round. As the Market provides a suitable place for the sale of the articles commonly ex- hibited. there is no necessity to obstruct the pavements with them. Of course, the sale will probably be transferred to other hands, but we understand that at least some of the grocers of the town, will be very glad to be rid of a kind of business which has been thrust upon them against their will. The sympathies of the whole of Maesteg will go out to Mr. David Davies in his pro- longed illness. Mr. Davies has done much for the ratepayers. He has served his day and generation by giving of his best, and he deserves well of the people of the Llynfi Valley. On his retirement from public life last year a testimonial was promoted as a recognition of his services. It was intended to present the testimonial at a public meet- ing called for the purpose, but unhappily Mr. Davies's health would not allow of this being done. After waiting some months the com- mittee who had the testimonial in hand have waited upon Mr. Davies privately and made the presentation. The public will heartily endorse the sentiments expressed in the illu- minated address, and particularly will they re-echo the concluding paragraph wishing Mr. Davies a speedy return to health. The secret of the diminution of summonses for drunkenness in Glamorgan is not, it ap- pears, the increased sobriety of the people so much as the effect of an order issued to the police by the Chief Constable. About two months ago the Chief of Police sent out an order instructing constables, as far as pos- sible, to ascertain where the men were sup- plied with drink. This order was no doubt issued with the best of intentions. The most effectual way to stop drunkenness is to bring in the assistance of those who supply the drink, and coercion is probably the only way to secure such assistance. To summons the publican as well as the drunken man would be an effectual way of assisting the temper- ance cause. But it is seldom, for reasons which appear to us obvious, that the guilty publican can be discovered, much less brought to book, and the effect of the order has been that constables have refrained from reporting cases in very many instances. Sir Marchant Williams's comments on the subject have been followed by remarks from the Bridgend Bench. Mr. R. W. Llewellyn. on Saturday. strongly criticised the order, and stated that he had seen more cases of drunkenness during I the past week than had been brought before the court for the past month. It is to be hoped, in the interests of temperance and good order, that the instruction to the police may be withdrawn. • • The subject of the progress of Porthcawl is a hardy annual wmch blooms most profusely at this season. All the year round the air of the Council-chamber is redolent with the per- fume of some new scheme, but it remains for the opening of the summer season to bring out the choicest blooms. The particular sub- ject which now engrosses attention is the pro- posed formation of a syndicate to provide a place of entertainment. Doubtless such a I place would prove a strong attraction. To I trippers it would add a variety to the sad sea waves, and it would prove an invaluable haven for them in wet weather. Residents and visitors would find such a resort pleasant in the evenings. The movement is, we I understand, being favourably taken up by those interested in the place, and. sufficient support has been forthcoming without appeal- ing to the public to justifv the registration of a company, which will be made this week. If a suitable site can be secured on reasonable terms, there are bright prospects for the movement. In another direction Porthcawl has made decided strides forward. The Great Western Railway Company have ac- ceded to the request of the District Council I for an improved service of trains. Several additional trains have been put on. and there is now a frequent service to and from Cardiff, several being through trains. —

A LocAL BANKRUPTCY.—In reference to the bankruptcy of Morgan Jenkins (who traded as John Jenkins and Sons, grocers, at Bridg- end), Mr. Albert Parsons (who was instructed by Mr. Henry J. Thomas for Mr. C. E. Dovey, the trustee) asked Judge Owen yesterday to declare that debtor's father (John Jenkins) was a partner in the business at the time the bankruptcy proceedings were commenced. It was contended by the respondent that he sold the business to his son prior to the bank- ruptcy, but Mr. Parsons read answers which had been made by father and son before the Registrar. After these the Judge advised Mr. Raymond Allen (who was instructed by Mr. E. T. David, Bridgend), for the respon- dent). not to put his client in the box, &8 it might get him into trouble. The required declaration was made. HopE SUNDAY SCHOOL. --Successful services in connection with the anniversary of Hope Sunday School were held on Sunday, when sermons were delivered by the Rev. T. W. Ohance, M.A., of Merthyr. Solos were sung by Miss Hannah Cole and Mrs. H. Uewellyn- Cole. In the afternoon a children's miscel- laneous service was held, over which Alder- man T. J. Hughes presided. Recitations and solos were given, and a juvenile choir, con- ducted by Miss H. Cole. rendered selections, Master Cuthbert James presiding at toe organ.—The annual outing of the school took place on Wednesday, the rendezvous being Ogmore. The weather, as the trippers were leaving the town. was unpropitous. but later there was an improvement, and the condi- tions generally were capital. The arrange- ments were made and carried out without a hitch by the energetic secretaries (Messrs. V. A. Piercy and Haydn Jones) and the superin- tendent (Mr. D. H. Lloyd). A large band of ladies and gentlemen also worked hard to en- sure the success of the outing, including Ald. and Mrs. Hughes. Mrs. Lewis Davies. Mrs. Fisher. Mrs. Sheen. Mrs. Giles. Mrs. James, Miss Cole. Miss Thomas. Messrs. James (Old- castle)..Ed \LJd Rich. Abraham Lewis. — Gillard, etc. During the day an unfortun- ate incident happened.

Davis and other gentlemen succeeded in bringing him round. & A MERCER S FAILURE.
