FREYSTROP COLLIERY.
FREYSTROP COLLIERY. WORKS IN AN ADVANCED STATE. PROSPECTS OF THE INDUSTRY I PROMISING. I The works at the newly-opened colliery at Freystrop are now in a very satisfactory state of progress. The company have laid down the latest machinery and have spared neither trouble nor expense in providing the best possible plant available. The main shaft, which has been sunk in the centre of their taking (extending from the Freystrop road to the railway line at Johnston) has now been brought down to a depth of over 50 yards. For 35 yards of this distance an excellent brick lining, with occasional patches of concrete where extra strengthening was required, has been laid on the sides, but, as the rock has now been reached, there is no necessity for continuing it further. The men are at present en- gaged in pumping the water out of the bottom of the shaft, and it is expected that, in a few weeks, they will be in a position to start digging the coal, which is anthracite of the finest quality. The water is brought up in huge buckets, holding over 300 gallons each, and shot into a neighbouring field, whence it finds its way to Merlin's Bridge. As the work goes on night and day, several hundred thousand gallons of water have been pumped out, and, even now, the quantity brought up is enormous. About 60 men are employed, and the company have built offices. blacksmith's and carpenter's shops, magazine, engine shed, furnace, etc. The Babcock and Wilcox Water Tube Boilers, which generate the power for driving the engine by which the buckets are hauled up from the bottom of the shaft, are well worthy of in- spection. They are the only boilers of the kind in Pembrokeshire. The engine, which has a double action, is a very powerful one. A complete system of signals has been established between the engine shed and the mouth of the shaft. The coal, used in the furnace, is anthracite, dug in an adjoining field, and it gives every satisfaction. The Company have still a great deal of work to do before all the preliminaries are finished. The prospects are very promising, and, as even the present operations mean the payment of about £ 100 in weekly wages, the enterprise is one in which much local interest is naturally taken.

I To the Editor of the, Milford Haven Telegraph." Sm.-Having read the report of the Xeyland School Board in the Pembrokeshire l £ iraid of last week, and I hope to see it in your valuable paper of this week also, Permit me to say, as a ratepayer, that I am against the building of a new classroom. I am thankful to the Rev. B. Powell Morris and Mr George Lewis for opposing it so ably on the Board. They have stated that it is not wanted and given figures to prove it. The partitions will answer the purpose at a cost of i50 or £60, when the classroom is likely to cost X600 or £ 700. The rates are high enough already and the majority on the Board are going to put 2d in the year upon them again. I hope that a parish meeting will be called soon and let the meeting decide which it prefers, whether the action of the majority, including the Chairman, Messrs. Levi Davies, H. Richards, Jones and Payne, who add X600 or £ 700 to the burden of the ratepayers, or the action of the minority, including Rev. B. P. Morris and G. Lewis, who advocate another plan that will suit the requirements at a cost of X.50 or XGO. Yours, etc., NEYLANDER.

St. David's Cathedral.
St. David's Cathedral. The efforts which Dean Howell is making to restore the Cathedral of St. David's (says the Times ") are much in need of practical encouragement. Bishop Thirlwall said of its architect that he seemed determined to plant in the furthest extremity of our island the standard of the utmost advancement of his art at the period of its most determined progression." The structure was begun by Peter de Leia about the year 1180, when, in the words of Sir Gilbert Scott's report made in 1862, the Roman- esque or round-arched style was in a state of transition into the pointed arch style now vernacularly known as Gothic: During the seventeenth ;\nd eighteenth centuries the cathedral was allowed to fall into a sad state of disrepair, and the first attempt at restoration was begun as a memorial of Bishop Thirlwall :n 1.864, when the presbytery, central tower, the choir, the nave, and the rood screen were thoroughly repaired, at a cost of over 143,000. Later, under the direction of Mr J. Oldrid Scott, similar work was done to the south transept, the arches and windows of the Lady Chapel and ante-chapel, and the roofs of the nave aisles. It is now proposed to restore the eastern group of buildings, consisting of Bishop Vauchan's Chapel, the vestibule of the Lady Chapel, and the Lady Chapel itself, which is further east, and is the largest and most important building of the group and the work is intended as a memorial of Bishop Basil Jones, Dean Allen, and Dean Phillips.

LOCAL AND OTHER NEWS. Messrs W. & A. Gilbey have been appointed by Royal Warrant Purveyors of Wines and Spirits to His Majesty the King. Goodwick Post Office has to. day been opened for Telegraph business. Telegrams can be for- warded and received from 8.0 a.m. to 8.0 p.m. Sundays, 8.0 a.m. to 10.0 a.m.—Edwin Bowles. DR. BARNARDO'S HomEs.-The street col- lections in Haverfordwest in aid of this Institution took place on Saturday week, and totalled £ 6 7s 9d. This is a very creditable amount, and it could not be bestowed upon a more deserving charity. A good deal of distress and pain must result from every examination of female candidates for the Post Office. The applicants for positions have been known to outnumber the vacancies by ten to one. At the last examination, the result of which has been just announced, there mere 734 candidates for 132 positions. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY EXCURSIONS.— From an announcment in our advertisement columns it will be observed that the Great Western Railway Co, have arranged to run day excursions to Tenby on the 17th inst., on the occasion of the Eisteddfod, and a half day trip to Milford Haven on the 18th inst., on the occasion of the R.A.O.B. Sports. DEATH OF MR THOMAS REES.—One of the oldest inhabitants of this town passed away on Saturday in the person of Mr Thomas Rees, St. Martin's Crescent, who had attained the advanced age of 89. Deceased at one time carried on the business of a glover from which he retired mamy years ago. He was a gentleman of an exceedingly amiable disposition, and was held in great esteem by all who knew him. Mr Rees died in the house in which he was born. A novel and handsome illustrated book has just been issued by J. W. Benson, Ltd. Perhaps the most striking feature of the work is the detailed description of the manufacture of London-made watches given by this old-established Ludgate Hill firm, who are doing their utmost to encourage British workmanship, and by The Times popular system of purchase are placing the highest quality articles within the reach of all. They invite applications for a copy of this New Century book, which is sent free. HAVERFORDWEST JULY FAIR.—There was a rather poor fair yesterday, and, in all departments, trade was slack. An average amount of stock was in the market, but, as very few dealers were present, the demand was far from brisk, and the prices also suffered. Cows and calves fetched £10 to 113 best fat stock, £ 12 10s to X14. yearlings, £ 6 10s to X7: two-year-olds, 19 to X9 10s. Sheep and lambs were fairly plentiful, the prices being for mutton, 6d, and for lamb, 7d to 7ftd. In the horse fair, there were rather more animals than usual, and inferior sorts sold at reduced prices. Anything of quality fetched as good prices as usual. THE HOT WEATHER.—Summer seems to have come at last, and apparently has this time come to stay-for a while, at least—and the thoughts of our Lady friends all fly to Sunshades, Muslin Dresses, light and airy Blouses, etc., etc. Muslins appear to be as fashionable as last year, and at the present time no more lovely effects can be seen than those now being shown at Messrs. Greenish & Dawkins, in Market Street, although none of the Firm's Specialities are more noticeable than their Sunshades. There are whites, shots, and fancies, but best of all are probably the blacks. Plain Black Sunshades, edged with Chiffon, Black, with a charming lining of puffed Chiffon, others similarly lined in white, heliotrope, etc., together with less elaborate styles in black brocades and fancies. Prominent too in the Mantle Showroom are the Washing Skirts and Costumes, in Linen Holland, White Pique and Drills. For summer attire of every kind Messrs. Greenish & Dawkins' Show- rooms will be found well worth a visit. 379 BETHESDA ANNIVERSARY SERVICES.—The anniversary services in Bethesda Chapel on Sunday last were conducted by the Rev. W. J. Henderson, President of the Baptist College, Bristol. The attendance at the morning service was rather small, but there was an excellent congregation present in the evening. The sermons delivered by Mr Henderson were interesting and instructive. In the morning he preached from the text, 19c 19v of the Gospel according to John:—" And Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing wrote a title oaf nd Vu a,rle'th,, King of the Jews." The preacher referred to the resentment of the Jews at this title and to Pilate's refusal to change it at their request, after which he went on to point out that the title was merited. It was a favourite expression to say that a person elects" Christ, but it was faulty in construction. Christ is monarch of all whether we vote for Him or not. The question whether He is to be King is not submitted to us. The question is whether we will take advantage of His royalty and get the blessings of His reign. Christ is King, said the preacher, adding are we loyal and do we, in the course of the week say, I wonder what the King would like me to do. Or do we try to carry out our own will without any regard to His ? There were unfortunately too many people who forgot Christ during six days of the week in their business, and who said Divine service is for Sunday from 10 to 12.30, and if it lasts any longer woe to the preacher." Divine service should never end. The rev. gentleman also preached on Monday evening. HAVERFORDWEST SroRTS.—The Haverford- west Sports Committee, to whose present condition reference has been made in this journal at intervals during the past few months, are making a final struggle for existence. Their career has been one long record of mismanagement. We would be the last to impeach the honesty of a single member, but there can be no denial of the fact that they have been exceptionally unfortu- nate, and that the big balances, sometimes in hand, dwindled without any endeavour being made to keep the sports up-to-date. The public are no doubt afraid that these misfortunes might continue, and they arc chary ot committing any further funds to their control. We are sorry to say that the recent addition to the Committee has not been of a sufficiently representative or influential character to warrant us in advising them to the contrary, it is stated that about seventeen Committee men are williug to guarantee j;2 each towards sports for this year. Everything is to be done on the most economical scale and so on. These promises and guarantees are splendid in their way, but the public obstinately demand a change in the constitution of the Committee, and as they hold the purse, it is more than probable that they will have their way m the long run. It is a pity that the sports meeting here, which should be the best in the county, should ever have been allowed to lapse into the hands of a self-elected Committee. These Committees may or may not do their best-they are always liable to suspicion. The only way to restore the public confidence is to have a Committee properly elected, composed of substantial business men and others, who would not have any personal interest to serve by doing work of any kind in connection with the flxttire. T",ltil this is done, most people will witholtl their subscriptions. As there is not time this year to do it, the best thing to be done is to let the meeting fall through this year, and hold a proper one next year. We know an attempt is at present being made to get in subscriptions by the old Committee. If they persist in their attention to hold an athletic meeting, it should not be known as the Haver- fordwest Bank Holiday Sports, but as the Haverford- west Sports' Committee's Sports." DEATII OF MR. D. VAUGHAN, FISHGUARD. -On Friday morning Mr David Vaughan, High Street, Fishguard, died at the ripe age of 83. Mr Vaughan had been in a large way of business in the town, being connected with the firm of Messrs Vaughan, Williams & Co., timber and general merchants. He had also taken a prominent part in public affairs, being a guardian of the poor for over 30 years, and was prominently connected with the Lifeboat Committee, having been chairman for many years. He rendered good service to the town when he advocated the acquisition of the land under the houses that were then built on the Square in order to secure an open space. He leaves a daughter and two sons. ALL NIGHT IN AN OPEN BOAT.—On Thurs- day evening Mr H. P. Griffiths, a farmer living at Long- house, near Trevine, on the north coast of Pembroke- shire, took his little seven-year-old son out in a boat. In a short time a heavy fog crept up from the sea, shutting out all sight of land. They made for land, but were unable to find it. The little boy kept awake, he said subsequently "until the moon got up." The farmer's labourers and boatmen of Trevine and Aber- castell, when they heard that Mr Griffiths had not returned, set out to look for him but they had to return late without any success. Meanwhile the boat had been carried by the tide up towards Cardigan, and it was sighted by a trawler off Dinas Head on Friday morning. Its hungry occupants were supplied with something to eat and towed to Abercastell. They arrived home about 10 in the morning little the worse for their adventure, much to the relief of their friends.
I A TRAGEDY IN CASTLE II SQUARE.
I A TRAGEDY IN CASTLE SQUARE. DETERMINED SUICIDE OF A KITTEN. A THIRTY-SIX FEET DROP. I [" TELEGRAPH" SPECIAL.] Do animals commit suicide? This is a question on r which many learned articles have been written and in connection with which thousands of anecdotes of more or less, particularly less, veracity have been told. Dogs have been known to refuse all food and to lie down and die on the graves of their masters. They were usually sheep dogs. Turkeys have been driven to despair because they could not grow feathers as brilliant as the peacock. That veracious old chronicler, ZEsop, tell us of a frog, which blew itself into smithereens in the endeavour to get as big as an ox. But no tale or illustration, either ancient or modern, can compare with the true and terrible incident, which occurred in Castle Square on Sunday evening. Scores of people were walking up and down the street, enjoying the cool, serene air, smoking the pipe of peace, discussing international politics, the war, or the last thing Councillor McKenzie said, when their attention was attracted to the strange movements of a kitten in the top storey window of Mr Tom Phillips' house. The kitten walked out on the window-sill, and looked deliberately down as if considering how far it was to the ground. Like those would-be suicides, who have been deterred from jumping into a dark, deep-flowing river by the dread of catching cold, it evidently thought the drop too long and walked back again. Then evidently making up its mind that I LIFE WAS NOT WORTH LIVING, it walked out once more and looked down upon the pavement, again felt frightened and went inside. By this time the crowd on the street had greatly increased and there was much excitement, but few expected the terrible denouement, which came a moment later, when the kitten rushed out on the sill for the third time and, with a heart-rending squall, launched itself into space. It fell with a dreadful thud upon the pavement, got up on its hind legs for one final look at the bright, mouse- thronged world it was leaving, and then gave up the ghosts of its nine lives at once. Now what could have prompted that kitten to cut short its caraer ? Was it a love affair, or drink, or internal pains consequent on a Gargantuan feed of mice ? The speculation is interesting but profitless. It is vain to try to probe the workings of the feline mind. Let us say nothing against its character. It was young and well-conducted, and never made night hideous with caterwauling on the tiles. The good die young. A later bulletin says the kitten is, like Johnny Doolan's, still alive and kicking," so, that, as far as this incident is concerned, all speculations and moralising are out of place. Cats are disappointing creatures.

P.C. Lewis swore that, on the 4th June, he met defendant carrying a gun and having four rabbits thrown over his shoulder. Defendant admitted that he killed two of the rabbits and that he had no license. Fined 3s 6d and 10s costs. THE LATE ASSISTANT OVERSEER OF I ROSEMARKET. Mr Hugh R. Williams, auditor of the South Wales District, applied for a distress warrant against Thomas Belton, late assistant overseer of the parish of Rose- market, in the Pembroke Union, because he had not paid or caused to be paid to the Pembroke Guardians the sum of X40 12s lOd, certified by the prosecutor to be due from him at an audit of the accounts made on the 21st May. Mr R. T. P. Williams appeared for the prosecution. He said the offence as admitted. There was really no defence to it. After reading the sections dealing with the powers of an auditor in this respect, he asked for the issue of a distress warrant, and, in default, for the com- mitment of the defendant to prison. Mr Hugh R. Williams, having produced his appoint- ment and complied with the other formalities, swore that defendant attended the audit at Pembroke on the 21st May as assistant overseer with the books for which he was responsible. Defendant, on entering the room, asked to be allowed to make a statement, which he did to the effect that he had used parochial monies to the extent of about £ 40. Witness was somewhat startled to hear that, and asked him had he any objection to put that statement in writing. Defendant said he had not, and willingly wrote and signed a statement. Mr R. T. P. Williams handed in defendant's written statement, which was as follows:—" I am a defaulter to the extent of about X40. I have been out of work nearly eight months, and used, during that time, parochial monies to prevent my wife and children from starving. I have a brother whose name I offer to the guardians as security, who is reputed to be worth £ 2000." Mr Hugh Williams continued that he afterwards audited the books presented to him and found that a sum of £10 12s 10d, which had been collected by the defendant, had not been deposited. Mr A. James: I presume the guardians will take up the matter of security ? Mr R. T. P. Williams Yes. The treasurer's certificate that the money had not been paid was next handed in. Defendant: I was accepted without any bail. I spent the money while I was out of work from July to the following March. I can get evidence to prove it, if it will be of any benefit, but I don't suppose it will be. Clerk (Mr H. J. E. Price) It has nothing to do with it. Defendant: When money is handling in a house and food is required for children, it's a great temptation. Clerk It's one you ought not to yield to. Defendant: Your worships, before you make your decision, may I be allowed to pay this back at 2s 6d a week ? Mr A. James That's a matter for the guardians. Mr R. T. P. Williams: That is an offer, which Mr Williams, as a public official, could not entertain for a moment. Defendant: If I am put to prison, which I expect I shall be, it will be no benefit to anyone. My wife and four children will have to be kept. If I pay 2s 6d a week, somebody will get something from it, and there will be some means of paying it back. Clerk The magistrates have only one duty to perform —to grant the order asked for. The distress warrant was then ordered to be issued. In default the alternative is two months' imprisonment.

Long before she was due the Roslin Castle anchored outside Southampton Harbour, and at 3.45 she came alongside the quay, where a large number of people awaited friends and relatives on board. Owing probably to the absence of information as to who was on board, neither the Pembrokes nor the Glamorgans had any familiar faces to welcome them. It was not until the transport was berthed that the names of the returning Yeomen could be obtained. Arrangements were made for despatching most of the troops to their respective depots on Tuesday morning The Denbighshire and the Montgomeryshire contingent of the Welsh Yeomanry, however, left on Monday night for Wrexham, whilst the Pembrokes remained on board overnight and entrained for Tenby at 8.20 a.m. on Tuesday, arriving at their destination at 5.20 p.m. NAMES OF THE MEN. All the Welsh Yeomanry are in splendid health. The Pembrokes on board are Squad-sergeant M. Mann, Sergeants Millett, Morris and John Corporals Edwards, Bayes, Francis (Swansea), Falkener (Swansea), and Wiedliefft; Bugler Agen, Squad-Sergeants Leonard, and Jenkins; Troopers Atkinson, Bey the, Cross, Crocks, Chapman (Swansea), Callaway, C. Davies, T. Da vies, George, Gunning, Griffiths, Hodson (Swansea), Hunt, Holloway, Halsall, Ingelly, W. R. Jenkins, D. M. Jones, Kempton, C. W. Lewis, T. Lewis and Lambert. The Roslin Castle brought in all 40 officers and 750 men. The only Welsh officers on board were Lieutenant- colonel Forbes, the commanding officer of the Welsh Yeomanry; Captain Cox. the adjutant; Lieutenants F. J. Walton (Montgomeryshire), and Lieutenant A. P. Evans (Monmouth Militia Engineers). Amongst the troopers were Yeomanry from all parts of England and Ireland, as well as the Canadian Scouts—tall, strapping fellows—and Rough Riders. As the transport swung alongside many a familiar face could be recognised, and most of them were unexpected arrivals. Swansea men seemed pretty thick amongst the Pembrokes: Cardiff men predominated in the Glamorganshire details. On the quay there were not many local people ready to welcome the men. Captain Ernald Richardson came down to see his comrades of the Pembrokes return, and Mr. Francis came down to welcome his son whose dashing ride with dispatches from beleaguered Fauresmith was one of the best exploits in the history of the Pembrokes. For the rest there were no friends waiting, but this was only one of a thousand things taken with equanimity, and they cheered heartily nevertheless. I THE YEOMANRY IN TENBY. A MAGNIFICENT RECEPTION. The Pembrokeshire Yeomanry, who are returning from the front, travelled from Southampton to Tenby yesterday. They were in charge of Captain Ernald Richardson, who met them at Southampton, and Captain Cox, the adjutant of the Welsh Yeomanry, came up in the same train. At Trowbridge a large crowd had assembled, waiting the Wiltshire Yeomanry, who, however, were due to arrive by a later train. Their disappointment did not prevent them from giving the Pembrokes a good cheer, and, at all the stations on the way there were like demon- strations. The home-coming to Tenby was a magnificent one. The company was met at the railway station by a concourse of persons numbering some thousands, and the scene in the streets through which the procession passed was most enthusiastic. Every street was profusely decorated, and business was suspended in honour of the 48 bronzed boys from the front. On the platform the Mayor (Mr Laws), the Cor- poration, and half a dozen Yeomen who bad been invalided home had foregathered. His Worship, having cordially welcomed each Yeoman by a shake of the hand, tendered them a hearty greeting on behalf of the town amid cheers. A procession was then formed. First came the Boys' Brigade band, which was succeeded by the coastguards, 43 members of the Royal Navy Reserve, the fire brigade, the borough officials, the Mayor in his carriage with the Town Clerk (Mr T. Rees) and lady friends, officers of the Army, Navy, the Yeomanry Band. under the direction of Mr W. F. Hulley, Col. Roch, who commands the Yeomanry, officers and staff of the P.I.Y.'s, advance mounted escort, with Captatn Collis, the adjutant, The Boys from the Front," and a mounted escort. The scene up Warren-street was ex- ceedingly picturesque, and the enthusiasm of the general public knew no bounds as the brave boys, to the tune of "Sons of the Brave," played inspiritedly by the regi- mental band, marche along White Lion-street and through High-street to St. Mary's Church, where the National Anthem, played on the organ by Mr Cecil Williams, greeted them. A shortened evensong, with two special psalms, preceded an appropriate sermon by the rector (the Rev. George Huntingdon), the blessing by Archdeacon Williams, whose son was shot in the Transvaal whilst out with the Pembrokes, being followed by the hearty singing by the congregation of 4' God Save the King." The procession, re-formed, passed through Tudor-square and St. George's-street to the Royal Victoria Pavilion, which had been suitably decorated. In the dining hall a very hearty repast was enjoyed by some 220 patriotic people, including not a few ladies. During the repast the regimental band played, and Mr Williams's male voice party sang. At the Mayor's table was Captain E. Richardson, and among others were noticed Sir Charles Philipps, Bart., Mrs Roch, Miss Bridges, Miss Saurin, Miss Owen, Mrs Richardson, Mrs Ernald Richardson, Miss G. Owen, Mrs Saurin, Colonel Saurin, Colonel Roch, Mr F. Lort Philipps, Mr Harrison, Mr Morris. Mr Roch, Mr L. Stokes, Captain Collis, Mr G. Stokes, members of the Corporation, the Town Clerk, and a number of other officials. The post-prandial proceedings were most successful.
PEMBROKE YEOMANRY. I
PEMBROKE YEOMANRY. I ANNUAL TRAINING CONCLUDED. j SOME INCIDENTS OF THE CAMP. The annual training of A, B, and C Squadrons of the Pembroke Imperial Yeomanry, under the command of Colonel Roch, came to an end on Friday, the camp at Penally being skilfully struck in the afternoon. The past week's work had been decidedly practical and useful, the regiment getting a thorough knowledge of emergency work. The opinion of the Earl of Erroll, the Assistant Adjutant-General of Cavalry, as to the result of the three weeks' camp life is of a highly satisfactory character, and reflects much credit on the colonel's selection of officers. The inspecting officer's views have already been published. It may be added, however, that a repre- sentative learned, in interviews with both commissioned and non-commissioned officers, that the conduct of the troopers had been admirable, no jealousy marking their behaviour when special praise was given to a particular section of the regiment, as in the case of the Carmarthen- shire men, who received an excellent testimonial respecting their strict attention to instructions throughout the training. The squadron from that county displayed superior horsemanship in the races, the premier honours in three events being ungrudgingly awarded to their representatives, namely, Trooper Anthony, who led the way in the troopers' race and the regimental race and Farrier Sergeant F. James, who was ahead of the other contestants in the sergeants' race. In the officers' race the winner was Lieutenant C. R. Roch; Corporal Sheehan and Trooper Griffiths (B Squadron) got first in the jumping-by-files contest; Sergeant-Major Willmott was the best tent-pegger; and S.-Q.-M.-Sergeant W. Mathias the most expert lemon-cutter, a contest which was marred by a heavy shower of rain. The camp incidents include many items of interest. For instance, so charmed were many aristocratic visitors with the regimental band, which is directed in a decidedly professional manner by Mr Hulley, of Swansea, that it was often requisitioned at county gatherings. The old kettledrums, which had been used on many an historic occasion, were sometimes in evidence, the inscription, now partly obliterated, being noted with interest. The inscription on each drum runs as follows:—"Presented to the Castlemartin Yeomanry by Sir John Owen, Bart., M.P., Lord Lieutenant of the County of Pembroke, Aug. 1, 1833." The regiment, by the way, was formed 104 years ago, the centenary being celebrated in the Diamond Jubilee year. Mr Hulley, who takes charge of the above-mentioned relics, has supplied the music for the regiment for nine years. This year he had no less than 18 members with him, and they formed a military and a string band. Each is booted and spurred, wears the blue uniform with white facings, and, at rare times, is mounted. Mr Hulley admired the "Carmarthensbires" on account of their musical tendencies. Some, he observed, possessed good voices, others made evenings very lively with comic songs. He remarked on the esprit de corps which all the members of the regiment had cultivated, and on their great willingness to help one another. The officers, too, from the colonel down, had been most considerate to one and all, the enforcement of the disciplinary law being accompanied with much kindness, consequently the officers were much respected, and all along things went "as merry as a marriage bell." The Sunday religious devotions included a drumhead service in the camp, the officiating clergyman being the Rev. Mr Morris, of Penally. The lessons were read by Colonel Roch. Out of deference to the wishes of the men from the mountains the band played" Crugybar," "Aberystwyth," and "Diadem," tunes which were finely rendered with heart and voice by the troopers. The camp dance in the officers' quarters was an un- qualified success, some 20 couples enjoying themselves in the reception marquee. The ladies came from various parts of West Wales. Captain Wynford Philipps, M.P., for Pembrokeshire, was the host at a big dinner at the Gate House, whither a fashionable assembly were entertained right royally, the health of The Auxiliary Forces" being most enthusi- astically drunk. On Thursday the adjutant (Captain Collis) accompanied Major Kennedy, with a vet., of the Remount Depart- ment, and many of the best horses in camp were bought most of the sums given for them being pretty liberal. Trooper White, of Haverfordwest, had bad luck with his horse during the training. Another animal kicked it in the leg, and White's mount had to be shot. A court of inquiry was held, and a Government award recom- mended. Trooper Henry Owen, son of The Jubilee," Carmar- then was most unfortunate. On Monday he was with a section of troopers, when one of them, seeing his trigger cocked, asked if the gun was charged. Owen believed it was not, and so his comrade put the trigger down for him. There being a blank cartridge in the weapon, its contents entered the nostrils and the top of the left eye of young Owen, who is temporarily disfigured. How he saved the eye is a mystery. The troopers had a rare tale to tell in reference to a local police constable. The other night he is supposed to have seen two of the regiment riding towards the camp very hurriedly, and he considered they were contraven- ing the law which prohibits fast riding. Failing to stop the men, Robert" went through the lines to ascertain their names, and if possible to identify the sweating steeds. He must have reckoned without his hosts, for no sooner had the cause of his presence become known than the men, most of whom had retired for the night, issued from their tents in regulation night attire, and, regardless of their unmilitary aspect, hooted, pelted, and chased the peeler," and for very life he ran across the hills. He was evidently a good if not a one-time professional runner. But for this fact—and he must have known it —he would in all probability have dearly paid for his hastiness in trying to cheat the martial court out of a job. It is freely stated that he will be well advised to cry low. He cannot take steps in a civil court, seeing that he had no opportunity for picking out either men or beasts,
1 A Burial Delayed.i
1 A Burial Delayed. UNTOWARD INCIDENT IN FREYSTROP CEMETERY. A mistake, alleged to have been made by the grave- digger in Freystrop Cemetery recently had rather untoward consequences, and an unpleasant feature in connection with it is that this was the second occasion on which a like error ocurred at the burial of a member of the same family. Some months ago, when the father- in-law of Mr George Roch, who works at the hydraulic engine tttNey land railway station, was being buried, it was discovered that the grave was not large enough to permit the lowering of the coffin. The burial had there- fore to be delayed until it was enlarged. On Wednesday week, Mr Roch was burying his father and there was a repetition of this very painful occurrence. We have been informed on what we have every reason to consider reliable authority that Mr Roch gave the gravedigger the exact dimensions of the coffin. Yet when the coffin was attempted to be lowered, it was found that the grave was too narrow to allow of its going down any further than six inches. Mr Roch and the other mourners were naturally much pained at this incident, the burial having to be delayed a considerable time till the grave was excavated to the proper width, and the burial service being recited as the coffin lay on the grass on one side. If the facts are as stated, the matter is one that calls for investigation so that steps may be taken to prevent a like occurrence on any future occasion.

Haverfordwest School Board. APPOINTMENT OF A GRAMMAR SCHOOL GOVERNOR. A special meeting of the members of the Haverfordwest School Board was held at the Council Rooms on Wednes- day afternoon.

P. Ormond had occupied the position for several years, but his term of office expired recently, and was notified by the Clerk to the Governors (Mr Phillips) to the Board in a letter dated March 15th, in which they were also asked to fill the vacancy as soon as possible. There has been considerable delay, but on Wednesday Mr Ormond was re-elected on the motion of Mrs S. B James, seconded by Mr H. J. E. Price. The Board. afterwards went into committee to consider the re- organisation of the teaching staff of the schools.

The Clerk presented the usual certificate that there were no prisoners for trial and the Chairman (Mr T. Rule Owen) expressed his pleasure. VOTES OF CONDOLENCE. Letters expressing thanks for resolutions of condolence passed at the last Quarter Sessions with the King and the Royal Family on the death of the late Queen Victoria, and with the family of Major Cropper, were read. SWINE FEVER f A copy of the letter from the Board of Agriculture on the breaches of the Swine Fever regulations read at the County Quarter Sessions was read. Commenting upon it the Chairman said he quite agreed with the circular and with the necessity for increasing the penalties in such cases. He had no doubt that in their capacity as magistrates they would apply the principle suggested. THE ADJOURNED SESSIONS. r The Sessions were then formally adjourned by the Crier I till August 12th next and the Court rose.

NEYLAND NOTES.
NEYLAND NOTES. The improvement of the school attendance continues to demand the attention of the Neyland School Board and the last meeting was largely" taken up with a iruggestive and important discussion upon the point. I The Board had previously approved of the idea of j offering prizes to the children who would show the best record in the attendance lists, and, while this will no doubt have a good effect amongst a proportion of the best conducted children, there can be no doubt that the cigarettes, suggested by the headmaster. would appeal more strongly to others. In Neyland. as in the neigh- bouring towns. and in fact all over the Kingdom, one always encounters crowds of half-cultivated little urchins, who spend their time begging for stumps and throw- ing stones at the windows of unoccupied houses. Although the headmaster may be unduly pessimistic, there is a large foundation of truth in what he says. If parents could be made to see their duty, there would be no objection to the increased home lessons suggested as a remedy for keeping the children off the streets. There need be no fear that many of the young hopefuls will die of over-study. + The proposal that children should not be punished for coming late to school is absolutely ridiculous. If they could come in when they pleased, the schools might as well be closed altogether. A good, judicious caning ia rarely misplaced. There has been too much exaggeration altogether in Neyland as to the punishment inflicted on the children. Such things as the causeless pinching of children by feather-headed pupil teachers must be strongly discountenanced, but the Board can trust the head teachers to prevent any great abuses in that direc- tion. No member should encourage the writing of complaints by any of those sentimental mothers or fathers, to whom Mr Aswell referred. Teachers have got sufficient worry without being haled before the School Board to answer accusations, sometimes groundless, but always trivial, of inflicting undue punishment. The necessity for the erection of a new classroom was far from conclusivelv proved by its advocates at the last meeting. Rev. Mr Powell Morris and Mr George Lewis adduced an overwhelming case against it. pointing out the small average attendance, the ample accommodation provided by the existing school, and the fact that a partition, at about one-tenth of the cost of a classroom, would meet all requirements. The voting left them in a minority, but I am sure that, if the parish meeting suggested by Mr Richards were summoned, their attitude on this matter would meet with a large share of approval.

A CURE FOR THE DEAF. Twelve years ago a French doctor named Drouet found a curative treatment for the Deaf, based on external applications behind the ears. Hundreds of cures have since been effected by the Drouet Insti- tutes which were created in Paris and in Brussels to mate the new system known. A branch of the Drouet Institute has lately been established at Regent's Park-road, London, N.W.. and there deaf people may apply for advice, which is given free of charge. A copy of the "Journal fer the Deaf, containing very interesting information on the Drouet treatment, is forwarded gratis to any person affected with Ear, Nose, and Throat Disease. A special report form is also dispatched to patients who, being unable to call at the Institute, wish to submit their case by letter. No operations whatever are performed at the Institute, and no instrumente used.
