Declaration of Polls.
Declaration of Polls. ABERYSTWYTH. ACCUSATIONS OF SPITE AND JEALOUSY. Chief interest in the Aberystwyth con- tests was centred in the No. 4 Ward, where Mr. G. Fossett Roberts retained his seat by A large and unexpected majority against Mr. B. Taylor Lloyd, the Liberal candidate. The poll was a heavy one, 516 out of 580 on the register recording their votes. There were only two spoilt votes. The sucoessful candidate, in returning thanks, said he had been returned by a larger majority than lie had ever had in that ward before. (A Voice: That shows that you are respected). He did not wish to claim this as a personal defeat for his opponent. He had fought quite honourably, but it was a defeat, and ..a very bad defeat too, for those persons who were responsible for bringing him out. (Hear, hear). He (the speaker) knew very well what the result of the election was going to be. Wherever he went in the Ward he was toIld on all hands that this election was not, necessary, and everybody knew, further, that spite and malice had prompted the forcing of this election. (Hear, hear). The pubflic would judge, and they had judged in his favour on that occa- sion, and he again wished to thank them for the kind support which they had given him that day.Mr. B. Taylor Lloyd also returned thanks. He said he stood before them as the defeated candidate. He did not know exactly what to ascribe his defeat to. He did not ascribe it. to the causes men- tioned by Mr. Roberts, but he would not argue that point then. He was young as a (andidate in the fighting of elections. It was his first, attempt but he was not down- hearted. (Hear, hear). He had, he believed, fought the fight perfectsy fair, and had not made the slightest accusation against any man on the other side or against his oppon- ent. But, he did obiect to a circular sent out the previous night. He thanked the 196 voters who voted for him, and if he had the honour to be selected again. and he did consider it an honour to fight for Liberalism .he would willingly give his services. They all knew the force of Liberalism in the town, but, unfortunately, they had that -day been sold, but they would live to fight another day. One result of the contest had been to force upon the electors the political aspect of County Council elections. (Hear, hear). Mr. Lloyd then proposed a vote of thanks to the presiding officer and poll clerks.This having been seconded by Mr. Fossett Roberts, and carried, the proceed- ings ended. In the No. l Ward, Captain Doughton proposed a vote of thanks to the presiding officer (Mr. Julian Jones), and others who had taken part. Everything had passed off without the slightest hitch. That election said Capt. Doughton, had been forced upon them, and they could say of it that it was a test election They saw how matters stood, and he hoped it would be a lesson for everybody in the future. He thanked hi^ supporters for their faithfulness to him. Mr. J. T. Davies, the defeated can- didate. in seconding, assured the electors that the fight had not been forced by the O- ervatives. The election had been fought on out of pure spite and pure jealousy. Voice interrupting): No, never, don't talk your blooming L Mr. Davies: I am talking now, sir. Con- tinuing, Mr. Davies said that Captain Doughton had done his utmost to stop the election, but he failed, and the fight had been forced out of personal spite. (Hear, hear). If that gentleman refel riug to Mi. B. Taylor Lloyd) had withdrawn, it would have saved the town a lot of trouble and expense. Though he had lost that time he (Mr. Davies) said he would live to fight again, and he hoped that they would sup- port him at the next municipal election. In the No. 2 Ward, Mr. C. P. Lloyd pro- posed a vote of thanks to the returning officer, and Mr. D. C. Roberts seconded. Both gentlemen made allusions to the pleas- ant way in which the contest had been car- ried on, and Mr. Lloyd stated that he and Mr. Roberts were greater friends than ever. THE NEW COUNCIL. LIBERAL REPRESENTATION INCREASED. The new County Council will be more strongly Liberal than it has ever been be- fore. The old Council was made up of 49 Liberals and 15 Conservatives. Assuming that the eight new aldermen to be ap- pointed next week wil' be politically, in the same proportion as the retiring eight, the new Council will be made up as follows:— Liberals. Conservatives. Aldermen 14 2 Councillors. 39 9 53 11

Mrs. Lloyd was the last surviving member of a family of eleven, and was now eighty-four years of age. Her husband, who predeceased her twenty-eight years ago, was the son of Trefynor, Gartheli, being a member of a family of thirteen.

The adjourned Licensing Sessions were held on Tuesday, before Mr. D. J. Williams (chairman), Rev. D. Edwardes, Dr. Lloyd, Mr. Evan Evans, and Dr. Morgan. As directed by the Bench the Chief Con- stable submitted evidence against the re- newal of the license of Cross Inn, Ffair Rhos, and Fountain Inn, Swyddffynon. Cross Inn, Ffair Rhos. The Clerk read the evidence of Sergeant Lewis, Tregaron, which was given two years ago when the license was referred to the compensation authority. Cross-examined by Mr. Meyrick Hughes who appeared for the tenant and the owners (the City Brewery Company, Lichfield), Sergt. Lewis said the house was a well-con- ducted one, as far as he knew, but people used it for drinking purposes when drink was not required. Mr. Hughes: If they are thirsty, there's no objection to them having the drink. In further cross-examination, witness said the mines were not in a flourishing state. He admitted that the house was the only one on the way from some of the mines to Strata Florida Station. Evidence was also given by P.C. Thomas Jones, Bont, who said that a good many I visitors came to the district, and the house which supplied food least to visitors was the Cross Inn.—This was the case for the objection. Albert Edward Evans, licensee, said he had U en licensee two years since last Janu- ary. The Lisburne and the Esgairmwyn mines were now working, and at the Esger- mwyn mines, the monthly wages amounted from £ 390 to 24W, and at the Lisburne Mines, from P,180 to t200 were paid in wages every month. A.l the miners lived in the district of Ffair Rhos, and the hauli- ers in taking lead to the station, called at his house, and had a lunch there instead of having their meals at home. There was more trade now done than last year. The house was used by flockmasters and the fields belonging to the house could accom- modate from four to five hundred sheep. The house was also ha idy for people in cases of en urgency, such as illness, and some brandy, and syphons of soda had been sold thei o on Sunday week last. When he first cane there, he did not confine himself en- tirely to his business but now he did. He was satisfied with the trade. Cross-examined by the Chief Constable, witness admitted that he carried on some butchering. The house was a six-day license. The Chief Constable: What authority had you to sell liquors on a Sunday? The Chief Constable added that this showed what trade was done there. Mr. Hughes took exception to the last remark, and said it was very unfair. What had been sold on that Sunday had been done so to save a life. Witness, in further cross-examination, admitted there was a reduction in the num- ber of miners employed at Bronberllan Mine. In addressing the Bench, Mr. Hughes pointed out that the compensation fund was so low, that it would be absorbed if the license of this house was not renewed. Fountain Inn. The evidence of Sergt. Lewis, and P.C. Jones, submitted last year in objection to this license, were read. Hannah Felix, the licensee said that the trade of her house was increasing. The Decision.

TALYBONT.
TALYBONT. Horse Breeding.-The efforts of Mr. Thomas, of Tanyrallt Stud v.s a breeder of ponies were crowned with extraordinary success at the London Hackney Show last week. In a strong class of 12 entries, the 2nd prize for the best two year old stallion, fell to "Tanyrallt Fircooy," which retali- ated later by vanquishing the winner. He carried off premier honours at the Welsh National last year, and without a doubt his all-round quality is destined to win him ad- ditional laurels in the future. In the brood mare class unde rl4 hands, numbering 14 entries, Mr. Thomas had three ponies of exception ail merit, viz., "Paula," "Gimlet" and "Firegirl," which secured first, third, and fourth prizes respectively a past cham- pion being amongst the defeated. The lynx-eyed critics considered that they had never before witnessed three such fine ponies exhibited from one stud in one class. For their lovely condition, great credit is due to Mr. Thomas's Stud manager. In the competition for the championship and the medal of the Society for the best pony mare in the show-the goal of the ambitious, but alas! how seldom attained ?-the judges had no hesitation in awarding the palm to "Paula"-the dam of "Tanyrallt Fireboy" -her stylish movements being a feature of the day. Mr. Thomas is to be congratu- lated on taking out of his seven entries, six money prizes to the value of £50. This is the second time, it seems, that this cham- pionship has come to Wales.

The cyclist of to-day is not content with riding his machine. He wants to know how it is made. If he is told that a particular l make of machine possesses points of super- iority over others, he is not content to take the salesman's word for it. He wants to know why it is superior. The Raleigh Cycle Company have found that it is good policy nowadays to explain some of the processes of manufacture of the all-steel Raleigh to the public, and in pursuance of that, policy they are at present showing in their window in Holborn Viaduct an automatic ball gauging machine. By means of this machine, all bnllls for bearings are gauged to the 5-10,000 part of an inch, and any ball failing to pass this test is rigorously excluded from the al1- steel Raleigh. The demonstration of the automatic gauging of the balls naturally attracts a large crowd.

I National Library of Wales. LORD RENDEL'S GENEROSITY. TIME OF FOUNDATION STONE LAYING. A meeting of the Council of the National Library of \Vales was held in London on Thursday last, Mr. Herbert Lewis, M.P., the vice-president, in the chair. There were also present Dr. Henry Owen (treasurer); Sir Samuel Evans, M.P., Sir John Rhys, Mr David Davies, M.P. Dr. Gwenogfryn Evans, Colonel Drad|noy, Principal Roberts^ Mr. J. H. Davies, Mr. D. C. Roberts, Mr. D. Lloyd Lewis (deputy treasurer). Mr. Green- slade (architect); and Mr. John Ballinger (librarian). A letter was read from Mr. Godfrey Wil- liams, of Aberpergwm, thanking the council for the expression of sympathy on the death of his father, Mr M.organ1 Stuart Williams, who was a member of th court of governors of the Library. The President and Principal Roberts pre- sented a written report with regard to the permanent site for the National Library, which stated that after seeing the plans of the propotsefi; building, Lora Riendel had generously agreed to give further land to the extent of a little over an acre, making the total area of the site about five acres-- The Chairman proposed that the council place on record their appreciation of the great generosity of Lord Rendel in giving this additional land, which would enable a far better arrangement of the building, both as regards the structure to be erected im- mediately and further extensions.—This was seconded bv Dr. Owen, supported by Sir John Rhys and Principal Roberts, and un- animously carried. The Architect presented a report upon the plans of the permanent building, and a sub- committee consisting of London members of the council was appointed to confer with the Architect, and settle any points of de- tail as they arise. It was decided to lay the foundation stone of the building some time during the sum- mer of 1910. and a sub-committee was ap- pointed to make all the necessary arrange- ments. Mr. D. Lloyd Lewis was re-appointed deputy treasurer. The Treasurer reported that since the last meeting Mrs. T. E. Ellis had paid the sum of £ 50 towards the building fund, and other payments amounting to L25 13s. had "been received. Th. subscriptions premised to- wards the building fund were now being steadily paid, and there was every prospect of practically the whole amount promised, over £ 21,000, being realised. The Librarian reported that after confer- ring with the President, Mr. J. H. Davies had purchased for the Library the rare work by John Penry, being his first book, pub- lished in 1587, and entitled "A treatise con- taining the equity of a humble supplication in the behalf of the country of Wales, that some order may be taken for the preaching of the Gospel among those people." This waa purchased at a sale in Anglesey for R30 10s. The Librarian stated that it was an excessively rare book, and that as the Library already contained nearly a complete set of the writings of John Penry it was an important addition. —| The council un- animously confirmed the action taken by the President. The Librarian also reported that the work of cataloguing the printed books in the Library was making good progress. Proofs of three catalogues which it was proposed to issue at an early date were submitted, name- Ily, the catalogue of the Oelynog Library; a catalogue of the Civil War and Common- wealth tracts; and a catalogue of books re- lating to Wales and Celtic languages in 1909. A third consignment of books relating to the Courts of Great Sessions had been received from the Public Record Office. Wooden shelving had been erected in the basement of the temporary building for the storing ..f these documents, and they were arranged in order according to the classification and numbering of the Record Office. Shelving had also been provided in the basement for storing bound volumes of newspapers. The newspapers and periodicals of the year 1909 were being bound, and when these were all returned the Library would have nearly 250 volumes of bound newspapers. The normal conditions for each year would amount to about 120 volumes.

Crouch Hill, Presbyterian Church, Lon- don, has addressed a call to the Rev. Richard Roberts, of Westbourne-grove. As succes- sor to Dr. Meharry Mr. Roberts, it is felt, would maintain the high traditions of the Crouch Hill Church. He has Been very suc- cessful in West London, and has thrown himself with great energy into the general work of the Free Churches. Mr. Roberts is an old student of the University College, Aberystwyth. He was ordained at New- port, (Mon.) in 1897, and went to London in 1901 as pKr Of of i small Welsh Calvinistic Methodist flock at Willesdon Green. En- couraged by the Rev. R. E. Welsh and others he applied to the Synod of 1903 for admission to "ho ministry of the English Presbyterian Church, and almost immediate- ]y he was invited to Westbourne-grove. j
A Sabbath m Aberystwyth.
A Sabbath m Aberystwyth. I have recently had the privilege (writes "J.P." in the "British Weekly") of spend- ing a Sabbatli in Aoerystwyth, and it has occurred to me that a few notes thereanent might possibly prove not uninteresting to some of your readers. A stroll on tHe Saturday through the streets of that delightful resort, which pos- sesses 8,000 inhabi-ants, proved to us that we could have no difficulty in finding a con- venticle wherein to worship on the follow- ing day. All sections of religious belief are represented in Aberystwyth, with duplica- tion of the majority for worship in the Welsh language. Some of the kirks go at 9.30, some at 10, and some at 11. Attracted by the name, we worshipped in the morning in Wesley Church. The minister conducted ap accept- able service in English to an audience, which, though not numerous, for Welsh is evidently the language of the place, looked extremely worthy. The worshippers were manifestly the sailt of the earth. In the afternoon we strolled on the mag- nificent piomenade, fully a mile long, on the sea-front, watching the stupendous breakers as they rolled in in quick succes- sion, and battered tempestously against the parapet. In no part of the world have we ever seen finer rough-sea effects. We soon met quite a procession of young men and maidens, each one carrying a Bible. Evi- dently a young people's Guild had "skailed." In the evening we found our way to the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Tabernacle, where a service in Welsh was held. The edifice is handsome, modern, and well- lighted, and there was a very large attend- ance. An obliging fellow-worshipper in our, pew handed us a hymn-book, and courteously "found the places" for us. 'We have long been familiar with Gaelic singing, so weird and picturesque, but we had never before heard Welsh singing. It is melodious, impressive, hearty. Unlike most organists, who are apt to magnify their office, this organist, who was both modest and capable, kept himself out of sight and his playing in subjection. We often feel provoked in our Scottish churches by the assertive playing of the organ, which is anything but devotional, and which drowns the voices of the worshippers, and, indeed, often deters them from singing at all. In this case, however, the music was kept in its proper place, a faint accompaniment to the human voice. A simple anthem was beautifully sung and joined in by the whole congregation, the organ being hardily aud- ible. The minister considerately gave out the text in both languages, and occasionally used a phrase in English. He was evidently a fluent and eloquent preacher, and soon warmed up to his subject. He showed great animation, and his gestures frequent aQd full of life. Occasionally he would give an impressive and appropriate thump on the side of the pulpit. Now and again his voice would drop into a delicious cadence, a "hwyl," so characteristic of Wales. Though we could not follow him, it was easy to see that he is a born preacher and terribly in earnest. He was happily unhampered by a gown, and delightfully independent of his paper—indeed, I almost think he had none at all. The collection was taken by a band of young men, who went round with long- handled ladles, which pleasantly recalled the custom in the days of yore in my dear old father's church in tlio far north. Aj the conclusion of the service the bene- diction was pronounced, but only a very few left, not a dozen of the large audience. Nearly everyone retmained for the after- meeting. It was then evidently the turn of the session, or whatever they are called, about a dozen of whom were seated on the platform. A patriarchall old gentleman, of benevolent visage, whose head must have been the model in the famous picture, A Highland Sacrament," got up, and in earnest tones addressed the large audience. Then another worthy, who was the image of a re- cent Parliamentary candidate whom all Edinburgh knows and respects, held forth, then a third. We had no-r, the faintest idea of what he was saying, but he also evi- dently "rubbed it in." At this stage of the diet of worship, and seeing that a con- siderable number of courses in the spiritual menu were likely to follow, we left. It was a service which, though we knew scarcely a word, we felt to have been an in- spiring and uplifting experience. It counts for something to be associated with a crowd of earnest worshippers, even in an unknown tongue, of all ages, each one motionless from sheer attention, every eye intently fixed on the minister as he poured forth the words of life. We do not know the names of the minis- ters to whom we had listened that day, nor even whether they were the stated ministers of the congregations, but they both im- pressed us as men of God, and as possessing devout and appreciative audiences. A native of Aberystwyth with whom we had some conversation told us that they are still experiencing the great benefits of the recent Welsh Revival. He also spoke most appreciatively of the work of the Salvation Army. It is indeed refreshing to get far away from the busy haunts of men and to spend a Sabbath in such peaceful retreats as Stornoway or 'Aberystwyth.

Correspondence THE WELSH SUMMER SCHOOL. (To the Editor of the "Welsh Gazette.") Sir,—May I be allowed to call the atten- tion of 'teachers and others interested in the study of the Welsh language, History, and Literature, to the necessity for an early decision on their part to attend the above school ? It will probably be found advantageous to secure rooms at Llandrindod Wells in ad- vance, while the accommodation of the Victoria Hall and County Offices which the Society have engaged for the purpose of holiday, the school may be found to be rather limited on the occasion. The following gentlemen have promised to deliver lectures:—Prof. E. Anwyl (Aberyst- wyth), Prof. J. Morris Jones (Bangor), Prof. J. E. Lloyd (Bangor), Mr. S. J. Evans (Llangefni), Mr. W. J. Gruffydd (Cardiff), Mr. Ifor Williams (Bangor), and Mr. T. Gwynn Jones (Aberystwyth). Mr. D. C. Davies, the genial town clerk of Llandrindod, has kindly promised to act as excursion guide, and will supply any ap- plicant with a list of hotels, etc. I shall bp most pleased to supply any applicant with copies of the syllabus and time taMe.

MACHYNLLETH
MACHYNLLETH Institute.—This week, Mr. Morgan, vet- erinary surgeon presented the Institute with a large number of old valuable magazines, including Blackwoods MacMillans, Temple Bar. Political.-Things turned out, as we fore- casted last week, in the local County Coun- cil Election. Many men of a despondent turn of mind, shook their heads in fear and promised a win for Mr. Campbell in Pene- goes, but blood is thicker water, and a Welsh-speaking intelligent Briton has ever a great pull over the Saxon who pleads his cause in a foreign tongue. We congratu- late Mr. John Edwards on his splendid vic- tory, and his constituents on securing the services of an admirable member. Supper.—On Monday night, Mrs. Jones Paternoster Buildings, and her son Coun- cillor R. Llewelyn Jones, entertained the Urban District Councillors, the postmaster, and his staff, and the contractor and his workmen to a grand supper at the Wynn- stay Hotel to commemorate the opening of the New Post Office at Machynlleth. Mr. John Pugh, chairman of the Urban District Council presided. Foreign Missions.—On Monday night Dr. E. Lewys-Lloyd, of Towyn, who is a direc- tor of the London Missionary Society gave an address on Missionary Work at Graig Schoolroom. The speaker dealt in a masterly way with the cheap talk of the scoffer, and the sneers of the indifferent. It was a powerful address, and was well received by the large audience over which Mr. E. Mor- gan Jones presided. The lecturer was warmly thanked by the Rev. Josiah Jones and Mr. T. R. Morgan, J.P. P.S.N.—On Saturday night a crowd of about four hundred people assembled in the Town Hall on the occasion of the weekly popular concert, when Mr. J. G. Jenkins, N. P. Bank was chairman. Mr. Jenkins is an* ideal chairman for these meetings, as he insists upon perfect order, whereas the frequenters of Penny Popular Concerts seem to think that they may jabber to their hearts' contentf little thinking that the singers and others sacrifice much to keep up these concerts from week to week. On Saturday some of the best talent of the town served the P.S.N. Committee-Mr. H. R. Humphreys, J. Maldwyn Evans, James Morgan, Miss H. B. Richards, Miss J. M. Jones (Esgairgeiliog) sang. Miss Maggie Lloyd recited "Cwraig y Meddwyn," Miss Jennie Humphreys was the accompanist. It was an excellent programme, and thanks to the action of the chairman it was not al- lowed to be marred by a restless few Council School.—The children of this school gave one of their famous entertain- ments this week, and it was perhaps a greater success than any of its fore-runners. The Town Hall was literally packed like a jungle-forest. At least a thousand people must have been present to witness the act- ing, dancing, drilling, and to hear the splendid singing of the Council School children. The second part of the programme consisted of a fairy play. Princess Ju Ju, Master Biddington, was the mighty mon- arch, Mary Thomas grand-daughter of the veteran, Mr. David Jones (tailor) was the Princess, Jennie Lumley, H. Thomas, Noel Jenkins played the part of wandering Prince and minstrels. Teddie Lewis was Ching Ching. J. Evans (son of Mr. Maldwyn Evans) was the wondrous magician, and D. Owen Morris was prepalled to use his axe on all impostors. These together with the fairies and the ladies-in-waiting, all did their part excellentily so that the great crowd felt justified in according Mr. T. Powell and his staff a hearty vote of thanks proposed by Mr. Henry Lewis, and seconded by Dr. A. O. Davies. The chairman was the Rev. F. J. Davies and right merrily did he conduct the meeting—no easy task with such an im- mense crowd—some of whom had to be con- tented with a back row seat, Mr. J. G. Jen- kins proposed, and Councillor D. Smith seconded the vote of thanks to Mr Davies.
FOOTBALL
FOOTBALL MONTGOMERYSHIRE AND DISTRICT LEAGUE. U.C.W. v. R.W.W. r U.C.W 1 goal. Il.W.'W 1 goal. The match witnessed at the Vicarage Field on Saturday was a most disappointing one, the home team giving a very poor dis- play. They scored their goal very early in the game, through a splendid shot by Harry Evans, and there were expectations then tha; the game would prove a strenuous one. Weak as was the display of the College men, yet they were superior to the Warehouse- men all through the game. The equalising goal was scored in the very last minutes of play. The left wing of the home quintette, together with the centre forward, had their day off," and the centre half, also failed to play up to his reputation. The best man on the field was E. O. Parry, the College left back, who played magnificently. He was never at fault, and on Saturday's Torm, he would make a splendid partner to Oswald Green in the cup matches. Several mem- bers of the Town Football Committee, who witnessed his play, were very favourably impressed with him. The College team was- Newcombe; E. 0. Parry, Evan Edwards; "lAani" Peter Edwards, W. D. Thomas: Sayce, Harry Evans, R. R. Jones, T. O. Jones and Tom James. ABERYSTWYTH v. CAERSWS. Caersws 4 goals. Aberystwyth 3 goals. Playing at Caersws on Saturday, the visi- tors were" beaten by four goals to three,. The home team scored two of their goals in the first minute, and added another one be- fore the interval. Aberystwyth, however, had managed to put in two goals before half- time, ihe scorers being John Elias Griffiths and Johnnie Jones. From a penalty kick, T. W. Rees drew level for Aberystwytli, but the home team established a lead again from a corner kick. Aberystwyth team was:—J. D. Davies; T. W. Rees, Eddie Hughes; Harry Jones, Bert Owen, Stanley Shone; D. J. Davies, Johnnie Jones, J. E. Griffith, Archie McKay, and W Wright, LAMPETER COLLEGE OUTPLAYED. G. T. P'ts. Aberystwyth College 2 4 20 | Lampeter College 0 0 0 Played at Lampeter on Wednesday last. The opening stages of the game were in favour of the home team. Aberystwyth, however, soon showed their superiority, and scored two tries in quick succession through Evans and Griffiths. Parry added a further l try for them before half-time. Immediately after resuming, Parry scored again, the try being converted. A free kick was given nefinst Lampeter, and Harry placed a goal. Good passing by the visitors backs ended in Evans scoring. Dick Richards, the home l centre, was unfortunate in having his leg broken. j

-v- 1 NEW CASTLii EML Y IN G.AV.R. Sued.-At Swansea County Polico Court on bat or day the Great Western Rail- way Company was summoned by Sir Mar- teine Lloyd with the object of having de- termined certain differences as to accom- modation works near Pontarduiais in con- nection with the new railway.—Mr. T. N. T. Strick appeared for the plaintiff and Mr VV ithington (of London) for the company. —-Ur. ttuiclt said an arrangement had been come to with the company as to the addi- tional accommodation works to be construc- ted for the plaintiff. The works agreed on included construction of a drinking pond, pipes, culver.s, etc., and he now asked the justices to appoint a time for the commence- ment and completion of the works.—Mr. Withington said with respect to a large number of the works required the company had always been ready to do them, the dif- feiencc being as to trifling matters. The company had most reason to complain of the proceedings on account of the extraor- dinary posi, ion taken up by the plaintiff. The company had indeed never in all the enormous works it had undertaken been put into court before on a question of accom- I modation works.—The Bench ordered the company to pay the costs (8. 3s.), and that the works be completed within 12 months. St. David's Day.—The students of the Emlyn Grammar School celebrated the day with the holding of a banquet at the Caw- dor Hotel, an excellent spread being pro- vided by the manageress, Mrs. Thomas. After partaking of dinner, the usual toasts were submitted. Dr. Powell, who presided, delivered a patriotic speech. The principal toast, that of St. David, was proposed by the Rev. Symlog Morgan, and was responded to by the Rev. Myfenydd Morgan, St. Dog- maels, who was the chief guest of the even- ing. A few suitable verses were also recited by Mr. William Jones, Bridge-street. A hearty vote of thanks was passed to Dr. Powell and the Rev. Myfenydd Morgan, on the proposition of the headmaster, Mr. John Phillips. The remainder of the proceedings took the form of a miscellaneous entertain- ment.

Capel Mair.—The new pastor, the Rev. T. Esger James entered upon his ministerial duties on Sunday last, when he was ac- corded a hearty welcome by Messrs. T. M. Daniel and O.

"Gwyl Dewi Sant.This festival was again this year celebrated by a public ban- quet at the Guildhall on Tuesday evening, and the large gathering which assembled proved that the event is growing in popu- larity. The Mayor presided.
. CILCENNIN.
CILCENNIN. Departure of Rev. J. T. Parry.—There was an united farewell service at Seion on Monday evening, when there was a large- attendance of local members and delegates from other churches. Mr. Morgan Evans, Oakford, presided, and said they had met to say "Good-bye" to Mr. Parry, and wish him God speed in his new sphere of labour. Personally, he regretted that Mr. Parry had chosen the smoke and noise of South Wales rather than remain in the pure air of Car- diganshire. He had the highest respect for Mr. Parry. He had great sympathy with the churches in their loss, and advised the congregation to be careful in the selection of their next pastor. Among others who spoke were Messrs. J. Milton, Dihewyd; E. Williams, Perthibach; Thomas Jones, Poet Office; John Thomas, Factory; Capt. Rees, Nebo; Evan Felix, Crug-garn; Rev. Caro- lan Davies, Tyngwndwn; J. C. Jones, Llan- arth and J. Jones, Tirbach. Mr. Timothy James, the treasurer of the church, on be- half of the Sunday School, presented Mr. Parry with a purse of gold as a token of the high appreciation of the members of his ser- vices.—The Rev. J. x. Parry suitably and feelingly responded. Farewell Sermon.—The Rev. J. T. Parry occupied the pulpit of Seion Congregational Church on Sunday, the occasion being his last as pastor of the church. During the afternoon service fourteen new members were admitted!. In the ewtefning the rev. gentleman preached his farewell sermon.

Jones, B.A., Aber- ayron, adjudicated the recitations, and translation in the test room. The sacred edifice was packed, and it was surprising how orderly the audience was. The lengthy programme went off as merry as the pro- verbial bell. The competition was of a very high standard throughout. The following is the list of awards.—Duett for children under 16, divided between Maggie M. Owen and S. R. Thomas; and Mary E. Roberts and Gertie Evans; solo for children under 16, 1, Maggie M.

ST. DAVID'S, NEAR LLANDYSSUL. Entertainment.—On Friday evening last the scholars attending the Council School gave their annual entertainment, an event it is hoped has come to stay. Last year a school library was established, while this year the proceeds are in aid of a piano for the school. The chair was taken by Mr. Charles Lloyd, M.A., J.P., Waunifor, and the proceedings throughout proved both in- teresting and entertaining. The programme included recitations, songs, nursery rhymes (set to music), dialogues, comic sketches, and a children's musical comedy, entitled "The Man in the Moon." The meeting closed with the usual vote of thanks to the Chairman and the Head Teacher and staff for the careful training of the scholars and the interest taken in educational matters, while Mr. Tom Jones, Rock Mills, sang the Welsh National Anthem, the audience join- ing heartily in the chorus.
