"AS OTHERS SEE US." I HAVERFORDWEST DISTRICT COUN- CIL SHARPLY CRITICISED. "A DISGRACE TO PEMBROKESHIRE." Under the beading The Li^ht of Pembrokeshire, the South Wales Daily News'' sharply v :sharply criticises the Haverfordwest Rural District Council. It savs:- We wish the Haverfordwest Rural District Council could see itself as others see it. Replying to criticisms which its neglect has provoked, 3Ir W. George James declared at the last meeting that he had been told only that morning bv a highly- respected local gentleman that no public body in Pembrokeshire performed its duties in a more straightforward and effective manner. If that state- ment is true, local government in Pembrokeshire must be a bigger farce than even its severest critics have imagined. Let us examine the statement in the light of the Council's recent record. It is only a few months since this Haverfordwest authority, which has jurisdiction over nearly two-thirds of the county, put into force the Housing Act of 190i). For nearly four years the Act was a dead letter, and it would Inve been so to-day if the Local Government Board had not threatened pains and penalties. This neglect of public duties was not due to ignorance. It was wanton and deliberate, despite the fact that there 'a.re 'in the Council's area some of the worst hovels in Wales. Consider next how the Council treats its employees. Until we exposed it in these columns, and denounced its inhumanity, this model employer was paying its labourers a bare 1.)3 a week, and many of them even less. After months of shuttling and equivocation it decided to raise the wages slightly, but if all the increases then promised had been granted the labourers would still be miserably sweated and underpaid. Everybody thought the increases were now being paid, but it leaked out at the last meeting that the resolution to raise the wages, though passed some months ago, will not take effect till next April. In heaven's name, why ? Is this an example of effective and straightforward performance of duties ? The Council might also have assisted in the work of repairing the road to Hook, but it shilly-shallied iintil the plucky women of that village held it up to shame and contempt by doing the work themselves. Asain, it might have had the humanity to allow its sweated labourers a weekly half holiday, considering that for nine months of the year they work eleven hours a day, and nine hours a day in the three remaining months, hut when two members—the Rev. H. Evans and Mr W. Evans-put forward the suggestion they were shouted down with loud cries of -NO." The recent record of the Council is a disgrace to Pembrokeshire. In place of efficiency and straightforwardness there has been gross neglect, callous indifference, and shuffling and dodging of every urgent issue. But of an enlightened conception of public duty and zeal for the improve- ment of local conditions there is no trace in the Council's recent record. Nor will there be any radical change until the body is reconstituted or the County Council takes it firmly in hand.
Death of Lord Gawdor,i
Death of Lord Gawdor, we regret to announce tile death of Earl Cawdor, which occurred on Wednesday night at a nursing home at Kingston. His lordship's health broke down about six years ago and since then be had been an invalid.

The body was conveyed from London by train, accompanied bv Major Campbell, the Hon. Ian Campbell, the Hon. Eric Campbell, and the Hon. the Rev. Nigel Campbell. The coffin was taken straight to Cheriton. where it was met by the Rector (tue Rev. E. T. Roderick), who read the opening prayers of the burial service. A large number of sympathisers asstiiibled to pay the last tribute of respect, including Lord Kensing- ton, Miss Laubton, and Mr and Mrs Philip Lambtou. The tenantry on the Stackpole estate were largely represented. The service in the ancient church was fully choral. The hymn, ies,i, Lover of lUv Soul,' was sung by the choir, and :)¡th Psalm. Tue first portion of the service was taken by Archdeacon Williams, of Bosherston, and the scccnd Dortion by the Hon. the Rev. Niael Campbell. The Lord Bishop of St. David's, the Rev. G. Gabriei Warren, and the Rev.— Jeremiah, of CasLlemartin, were also present. The colli n, which was covered with beautiful wreaths, was borne from the church upon the shoulders,of workmen cn the Stackpole Estate to the solemn strains 01 the "Dead March in Sa,,i)." The scene Got the graveside was impressive. Ail stood bareheaded in the rain as the oak coffin was lowered to its last resting-place. The committal s3ntenccs were read by the Hon. the Rev. Nigel Campbell and the concluding prayers of the burial service by th2 Lord Bishop of St. David's. The grave was of brick and was lined with ferns, moss, and white chrysanthemums. The coffin was of polished oak with a brass shield plate, surmounted by a coronet, bearing the following inscription "Hugh Frederick Vaughan Campbell, ith Ead Cawdor.

Wjlliams, M.P., contributed an article to the Dlily News and Leader" on Welsh Disestablishment—and After." Mr Williams dealt with Welsh national aspirations, and predicted that after Disestablishment Wales would become, not more Conservative as many people supposed, but more Radical than ever. Mr Williams's article has called forth a pungent Jetter from the Rev. A. T. Woodman Dowding, rector of Walton West, who writes as follows ''Sir,—I read Mr Llewelyn Williams's article in your issue of the .)h inst. with interest and amaze- ment. Perhaps, as an English Liberal domiciled in "Yest Wales, I may be allowed to comment upon three points. (1) Welsh Radicalism is tribal and not national, the distinctive difference between it and what we English Liberals consider worth prizing at all costs. Democracy in its best sense does not exist in Wales. The essential foundations are lacking in character upon which a noble democracy can be built. The damnosa hereditas of the Welsh, their local and individual arrogance, will prove the greatest bar to establishment of cultured democracy, 1u all tniegs the Welsh are Protectionists, even witlua the stronghold of Conservatism—the Estab- blistie(I Church. If the crv succeeds, Wales for the Welsh." inscead of The Best for Wales," the future of the country will be forlorn. (2) Mr Williams contradicts himself. If Welsh- men prized the heritage of the past, the whole of whicn (worth anything) is directly the outcome of English generosity and example, they would not view tne possible passing of the oldest institution in Wales—the Established Cliurch-wit li such equanimity. The chapels do not stand to-day for the best causes. The people are so priest-ridden by the ministers as the Roman population in Ireland and bpain is by the Jesuits. exl)erience of Wales combats the state- ment that Wales is "far in advance of England in matters relating to licensing," at anv rate. The population of my two parishes is under ;)1)0, and there are four pubtic houses, and considerable bunday Jrinkiog is winkerl at. I would venture to prophesy that if the Welsh become more Radical after Disestablishment, it will be in the tribal direction. At any rate, the differ- ence betwsen English Liberalism and Welsh ??ca))sm will become more marked. The honest and logic:),l outcome of the tribal characteristics ?ShoLuld '? show tt?l.f iu a rather snualid Tnrvism A. T. WOODMAN. DOWDING, Walto^West Rectorv, Rector. Pembrokeshire, January 7th.

Pembrokeshire Imperial Yeomanry. I DINNER TO "13" EQUADRON. PRESENTATION TO SERGT.-MAJOR BLACK. At the Dragon Hotel on Thursday uight th) members of "13" Squadron of the Pembrokeshire Impeiiil Yeomanry were entertained to supper, when a presenta- tion was made to S-?rgt.-Mnjor George Black on the occasion of bis retirement as squadron instructor. Corp). D Y. Lesvis presided, and L-i was supported by Cipt. A. II. Howard ("A" Company Territorials). S-^rgt.-Mijor Cjvington (the new instructor), Sergt.-Majors ByiUld (CarrmrtLeu). Dimond (Teuby), an i Croucher (Lampeter), S=rgt.-Major Black, Ssrgt.-M'ijor Davies, SDrgt. T. C. White, Sergt. George Jei.kins (Haythog), Mr Howard Palmer, Mr W. E V. K ndall, and other visitors. An excsllent supper was provided by the host, and hostess. S'ipper over, the Chair,nan read lelters from Capt. oil, Cap t. C. M. S. flowelip, Lieut. Bo wen. Quarter- master Wiliuiott, Regimeutal-Sergt. Rutuball, and Lieut. H. D. Williams regretting their inability to be present and wishing every success to the function. On bahalf of the non-commissioned officers and men of "B" Sqaadrou, Sergt. -Maj or Daviea presented Sergt.- Maj or Black with a gold hunter watch. He said the gift would recall to the recipient old days in the Pembroke Yeomanry and the pleasant time they had during his stay with them as instructor. They one and all regretted that the period was not a longer one. (Hear, hear). Sergt.-Major Black had now entered the hotel business which would doubtless pay better than instruction in military duty- (laughter) -but at any rate he hoped their hta instructor would remain in the town with them for many years. (L-ud appliuse). Sergt.-Major Biack, who met with a rousing reception, thanked Sergt.-Major Divies for tha kind expressions the latter had made concerning him. He could only say that the i hort time he spent amongst the -1 B Squadron was exceedingly pleasant, and he never wished to meet with better men or friends. He highly prized the present they had given him that evening as it would remind him of his work amongst them and the happy relations which a)ways existed between himself and the Squadron as well as the happy time spent in camp. (Hear, hear). He wished every member of the Squadron the best of luck and a prosperous New Year. Worela failed him to say more on such an occasion. (Applause). The health of the guest of tiae evening was then drunk with musical honours. Responding to the toast of The Visitors," Sergeant George Jenkins said it gave him much pleasure to be present as an old yeoman, having been eighteen years in the Pembrokeshire regiment and two years an officer. The Squadron invariably had good officers and sergt.- majors, and he hopsd the members would always look up to them. He loved his troop and eiijoyed himself in camp. It was a great honour to have the Commanding- officer of the Territorials with them that evening, and he only wished others had graced the festive board. Mr Jenkins spoke of his connection with the National Reserve, and said they need not fear that when the time came they would be found wanting. (Hear, hear). Capt. A. H. Howard, who also responded, said he was very pleased to bear witness to the good feeling existing between the Welsh Territorial Regiment and Yeomanry. He referred to the happy relations which existed between himself and former instructors, and said they had not had Sargt.-Mijor Covington with them very long, but he had proved one of the best. (Hear, hear). The latter gave their own instructor a hand at the Territorial prize-giving at the Miuiaiuri Range, and he had always received the greatest assistance from the Yeomanry instructors So long as he remained in the A Company he would endeavour to maintain the harmony existing between the Territorials and Yeomanry. (Hear, hear). Alluding to the establishment of the miniature range he said he would ba very pleased for the two sergeant-instructors to arrange a friendly match between the A" Company aud the B" Squadron, and ho would give sufficient prizes to enable them to enjoy themselves. (Applause and a voice What about the National Reserve) The National Reserve were a very good force, and he believed did remarkably well recently at the miniature range, even a man who did not hit the target taking home a brace of pheasants. (Laughter). If he could do that with the A Company he should bo able to double the membership to-morrow. (Laughter). He was a firm believer in an outude range, and he offered a cup for an annual competition between the 11 A" Company and the B Squadron, and he would like to see the Yeomanry win it. (Applause). Sergt.-Major Dimond remarked that he was the first man to welcome Sergt.-Maj or Black on his return from India. In camp they upon him for singing and always found him a good chum. Sergt.-Mujor Black's record of 22 years as a cavalry officer should stand him in good stead in the responsible duties that his civilian life had imposed upon him. (Applause). He asked the regular soldiers of the permanent staff to rise and drink the health of Sc-rgt.-Major Black. (Applause). This having been done, Sergt.-Major Croucher, who was next called upon, observed that he came over to tai e charge of the B" Squadron, but he found Sergt.- Major Black a day before him, and he was transferred to Limpeter. Ho must admit ho would have much preferred to have stayed in Haverfordwest, if only for the sake of meeting Capt. Stokes, one of the adjutants of his regiment. In conclusion he wished Sergt.-Major B'ack every success on his retirement. (Applause). S-rgt. -Major Covington said he was sorry to have relieved Sergt.-Major Black of his duties, but he was glad to know he had such a good squadron. He knew it eighteen years ago in tbe time of Quarter-master Willmott. He wjs fully aware of the friendly relations existing between Sergt.-Major Black and the members of the Squadron, and he knew him as far back as 1896 at Aldershot. (Hssr, hear). He only hoped hf, as their new instructor, would get on equally well with the mem- bers and that at the end of the next camp they would form the same opinion of him as they did of Sergt.-Major Black. (Applause). The health of Corpl. D. Y. Lewis was drunk with musical honours and, in reply, the Chairman referred to his quarter of a century's service in the Yeomanry. Afterwards musicalselectiolls were given, and altogether a very enjoyable evening wae spent.

Why Haverfordwest is Firm. I After reading this generous and encouraging report from Mrs Clarke, those who have the mis- fortune to suffer as she did will naturally long to get similar relief. Rut to get the same good as Mrs Clarke had, you must get the same pills. The fact that Doan's backache kidney pills helped our neighbour is no proof that any other backache and kidney pills will help you for there are no other headache kidney pills the same as Doan's. That is why Haverfordwest people are firm, and mean what they say, when they ask for Doan's pills. Mrs E.

On the change in the weather these pains were sharp and shooting. Rheumatism affected my legs, and all the symptoms pointed to kidney trouble. "I had taken other mediciues for relief, but better than all these were Doan's backache kidney pills.

One constable told her she would have to get out of the streets, and called up the central when told she was acting in a picture play. As no one could give decisive opinion in the case the play was continued. I Bessie Fay faces dangerous lion. Mose, one of the seven lions engaged in picture production at Universal City, has never known the trainer's whip, and besides killing a trainer some while ago, has injured several people since his sojourn at the studios. Miss Bessie Fay who has recently been engaged for these pictures has taken a fancy to Mose, and with great daring entered his cage a few days ago. The animal seemed rather surprised at fii-st, then angered at the intrusion, but the plucky young lady held him in check with her whip, and now the pair are the best of friends. Miss Bessie Fay, has brought her famous educated horse, "Arabia" to the Universal studios. This wonderful animal is insured for over £ 2,000.

About the middle of February a number of •pccial films, some long, some short, will be ready for the cinemas.

I In the careers of men in the film business is to be found many a romance to equal anything in fiction. Isadore Bernstein (Ucrnie), manager of the Universal Pa-ijic studios, for instance, at the age of 3 years toiled in a dingy attic, threading needles for a sweatshop in order to assist in pro- viding his baby brother with necessaries of life. That was 33 yetrs alro. At six the lad bccame a "Newsy "on the East-side streets of New York, and at fourteen he b-came a member of a small touring medicine show, and being a sturdy chap he 'posed as a weight-lifter and acrobat. Returning to the metropolis, he secured a post as "printer's devil" in one of the big publishing offices of the city, and learning the trade became foreman. He began to learn to read and write; up to that time he had never lil(i six iiiontlis' scliooliiig. Having learned to write he made an attempt at articles and soon stories of East-end life flowed from his pen. His next step was to be appointed superintendent of a Boy's Institute, and in this post he wielded influence over 30,000 boys and youths. Entering the motion picture business as an exhibitor he turned hirer later, and then took hand at the practical end of making pictures. He has a splendid record as an advertising man of the old Yankee Film Co., as general managei of the Republic Film Co., and the Monopol Film Co., which last concern he left to join thi Universal forces.

Woman Poacher Fined. UNIQUE PEMBROKESHIRE CASE. At the New Chapel (Pembrokeshire) Petty Sessions on Wednesday, the Bench had before them a unique calle, in which a woman was summoned for poaching. The defendant was Mary Davies, of Penrhipen, and she was summoned for trespassing in pursuit of rabbits in the daytime on lands belonging to Mr J. V. Colby, Ffynone. Defendant did not appear. Mr Roy Evans, New- castle Emlyn, appeared to prosecute. The evidence showed that when seen by the game- keeper the woman had with her a ferret in a box, five rabbits, and a bag of nets. She was accompanied by three dogs, two of which she admitted belonged to her. The Bench, in imposing a fine of 6d and costs, said that was the first time at that court for a woman to be summoned on such a charge.

! Pembroke Dockyard.
Pembroke Dockyard. FAVOURABLE OUTLOOK. BUSY TIME EXPECTED. A correspondent writes that the outlook for this year at Pembroke Dockyard is remarkably favour- able, although an apprehension exists that a much smaller programme of new construction and a smaller programme of refits will be provided in the Navy estimates, which will be issued shortly, than was the case last year. Independently of that, however, great activity will necessarily prevail at the dockyard during the greater part of the year, and overtime will undoubtedly be necessary on a fairly donsiderable scale. The work at present in hand and that in prospect make those conclusions certain. The oil cargo steamer Trefoil, which was commenced twelve months ago, is now in an advanced stage, but a great deal remains to be done to her before she is completed, and more men will have to be employed on her if she is to be prepared for service in a reasonably short time. Her sister ship, Turmoil, which was laid down in the building slip early last, September, is still in the initial stage, and few men are as yet employed on her, but as her completion is equally urgent with that of the Trefoil a large number of men will be necessary, and the work will occupy several months. Oil cargo ships differ materially from all other types of vessels. They arc exceedingly strongly constructed, and involve more work than any warship of the same size. LTGIIT-AEilOURED CRUISER. The light-armoured cruiser Cordelia, which has been six mouths in hand, is approaching the state in which ships arc usually launched, but afterwards there will still retii-iiii i great deal to be done before she is completed. She is a long aud narrow vessel, and will have a very light or shallow draught, and it can hardly be said that the armour will render her immune from the possibility of penetration by the 4-iuch B. L. guns with which the latest types of ocean-going destroyers arc being equipped. Still the vessels of this class have been highly praised by the Admiralty, and it is, therefore, reasonable to suppose that they will require the early completion of those now in hand, which number 13. The Cordelia is one, aud the Craysfort, for which the order has also been placed at the Pembroke Dock- yard, is another. The last-named has not yet been laid down, but will be immediately after the launch of the Cordelia in February. As has been observed, the Turmoil will furnish a considerable amount of employment this year, aud, judging from experience gained in building the Cordelia, the Carysfort will also be a prolific source of employment. WORK SUPERABUNDANT. The Ileliopolis also, which has to be converted into a hospital ship, aud is to be renamed Mediator, will. give labour estimated at £ 2:3,000. The work on that ship is in an early stage, although she has been lying at- Pembroke Dock waiting to be taken in hand for many months. This delay suggests the probability that the work on her will be required to be proceeded with rapidly before long, and thus the ship will contribute in a large degree to the general activity which will be a certain characteristic of the future at the dockyard. Then, ag:till, tli,-re is the refit of the Antelope, which, according to the Navy Estimates for the cur- rent financial year, was to be carried out at this dockyard, and upon which .w,000 is to be spent for labour. That work should be completed before March 31st, and will, should it be carried out here, necessarily furnish employment for a large number of men during the interval. In addition there will bo refits of destroyers, of which there are now three iu hand, one nca, ing completion, one approaching that stage, and one just commenced. This work employs a large special stall continuously. For many months to come work for all other employees will be superabundant, 110 matter what the pro- gramme of new construction to be provided for the dockyard in the Navy Estimates for next year may THE PRESENT—AND FUTURE Regret is expressed that greater progress has not been made with the Turmoil, f.nd that the Carys- fort, upon which £ 16,000 should be spent for labour before March *51st, has not been begun. For four out of six years previous to last year, only one new ship was allotted to the yard in each year, but last year the number was increased to two, and hopes were entertained that such good progress would be made with the new ships that the Admiralty would be encouraged to continue the increased amQunt of new construction in the future. It is held that the new ships should have been given preference so as to preclude the possible conclusion at which the Admiralty may arrive when considering the present situation at the dockyard that it is useless to provide a huge programme of new construction, because the dockyard cannot cope with it, and hence decide to reduce it to the old level of one small cruiser in each year. This will be regrettable should it prove to be the case, because the belief that the programme of new construction for the dockyard had been perman- ently reduced to one small ship every year six years flg-O, following a succession of large armoured cruisers like the Duke of Edinburgh, Warrior, and Defence being assigned to the dockyard immediately previous, destroyed public confidence in the likeli- hood of the dockyard being permanently maintained, and summarily stopped the development of the towu of Pembroke Dock by destroying private business enterprise. But except that it will probably be again construed as a warning of the instability of the dockyard, one light cruiser will probably be sufficient in the new programme, in view of the abundance of new constructive work.-South Wales Daily News.

LOCAL FOOTBALL. I OWEN PHILIPPS CHALLENGE CUP. I MILFORD TOWN, 5; v. PEMBROKE DOCK UNITED, 1. This match in the second round of the above com- petition came off at Hakin on Saturday. Unfortunately, the day was oao of the most wretched, and although there was a fair gate, it would have been much larger if the weather had been better. The United have es- tablished a good reputation and have twice drawn with the Docks aud put up close games against the Border Regiment. The ground was in a sodden condition and the going was rendered heavy and treacherous. Ned Walters kept up his run of luck in winning the toss and played down the hill, but for a wonder there was no wind. The opening play favoured the Robins who were soon in proximity to the bottom goal and after a good effort by Jeffries, Mat found a fruitless corner, The visitors gained ground from a series of throws-in, but were forced back and from Teddie's centre Jeffries missed by inches. John led his forwards up the field but John Smith was a barrier that could not be overcome and a subsequent attack near the United goal Teddie was badly winded. The visitors showed nice work in geting into home ground, Smith twice chipping in at the nght time. Milford were aggressors and showed bad judgment, in their placing, but at length the forward line got going and Warr ended up with a fine shot which Williams saved in brilliant style and the Dock lads sailed away on the right only for Graham to make a poor shot wide. Another good bout of passing by Miiford ended in Mat shooting outside, Jeffiies following his example. The pressure, however, was sustained and Ned Walters raced past Edwards and Shanahan and screwed in a most remarkable centre which Warr missed but. Mat Davies took it and gave Williams no chance. After mid-field play the United made an incursion into the home territory and when Davies mis-kicked in the goalmouth it was odds on an equaliser, but the ball was got away and Ned Walters ended a good run with a poor shot. Smart passing led to many attacks on Williams's charge, and Lloyd and Shanahan time after time proved their worth with cool defence and sound kicking. Jeffries, Daviea and Warr made good attempts which Williams picked up. From a corner Stevens grazed the bar with a lightning drive. Jeff had bard luck in striking the bar and a series of corners were profitless. A lovely piece of work in which the ball passed from head to head deserved a goal, but coming again Williams failed to stop a hot one on the ground and it was rushed through and made a bccond point for the home team. A tricky run by the visitors' left was daogorous, but Llewellyn shot wide when well placed. A combined move led to Blockwell testing Williams. From a weak kick-off Teddie Walters almost scored. Orsman put in a clever run and John continued with good work, Stevens coming along just in time to rob him. Another tit-bit at the other end followed, Jeffries worked in finely with Teddie and the latter ran right through with a third goal and this was the state of things at the interval. On re-commencing the United were soon in the home goalmouth, but B. Davies put up sound defence and extricated himself cleverly. Milford retaliated and a nice centre from the left was spoiled by Toddie getting off- side. That player and Jeffries engineered a movement which nearly came off and then Smith had to stop Graham as the United forwards were getting together. The ball came up to Jt-ff who again collaborated with Teddie and this time the little wizard got clean through and left Williams helpless. It was a grand bit of play. More baautiful combination by the home forwards just failed to materialise and the visitors got on the run Bevan having a hard tussle to hold his men. Gwyther found a corner which failed. Some promising attacks by the United were badly finished off. Teddie Walters got cleverly away and Warr missed an easy chance. The United forced a passage down the centre and Smith handled just outside the 18 yards line Shanahan shot but Batten easily cleared it. The visitors were now playing up in better style and the home goal had some narrow shaves and a corner ensued. From this JeffrieB mada a great run to the other end, where Nerl just ran the leather out. The United were persistent and there was a melee in the home goal, Batten fisting away a dangerous shot. Still the lads pressed and were hard to hold especially in the quagmire in front of goal. Llewellyn centred well and Gwyther with an open chance scored a grand goal amidst encouraging applause. It was not long after this, however, before Jeffrirs again got on the warpath and made a clear opening which Warr seized with alacrity and added a fifth. From this to the end play was interesting and some good attacks were frustrated by Lloyd and Williams. It should be stated that the appointed referee, Sergeant I Ro wsell, did not turn up, but the visitors had every confi- dence in Mr Oakley, who ably controlled the game which was brimful of smart, crisp football. For fully twenty minutes the United kept the Robins hard at it, and them- selves contributed some really clever bits of work. We see in them the making of a fine team and they have evidently modelled their style on that of the Robins who for so many years have been the pioneers of all that is best in the art of football. It was due to this fact that tho game was so interesting and that the home team were able to reproduce something like their trae form. If we could get a continuance of this kind of football the crowd would again be attracted. It did take them rather long to get into their stride, but when they did, the work was first-class, except in the all important matter of shooting, far too many chances being missed. Jeffries worked his line well, whilst Teddie was at his best, the three others also coming out well. The halves were sound, though Bevan appeared out of his place on the wing, but he is a tough customer. Blockwell and Stevens played with rclre judgment and if the backs miskicked occasionally, they were safe and gave Batten an easy time. The United are beautifully balanced fore and aft. Williams was very smart in goal, the backs splendid kickers for their years, the halves were the weakest link, but they had a hurd time with the home forwards in form. The United forwards are full of promise, and John initiated many moves, L!ewellin was a good substitute for Beynolds, and the left wing pair were tricky youngsters. Graham was not up to his best. Milford now pass into the semi-final. The teams were:- Milford Town. — Batten B Davies and Smith; Blockwell, Stevens and Bavan Ned and Teddie Walters, Jeffries, Warr and M Davies. Pembroke Dock United. Williams; Lloyd and Shanahan; Leighton, Phelps, and L Edwards; Llewellyn, W John, S Graham, S Gwyther, and A Orsman. Referee Mr J. Oakley. The samd teams meet again next Saturday in the Pembrokeshire League. MILFORD STARS, 10; v. HERBRANDSTON, 3. A friendly was arranged between these teams on Satur- day on the Stars' ground, Priory Road, but the villagers arrived four short and substitutes had to be found. These included Ted Hoggins, the erstwhile Robin, who intends playing for them from now on. The ground was in a sloppy state and the game does not call for much description. Suffice it to say that the Stars kept up their goal getting record. The Stars have the following dates open .-January 24, February 14, March 21, and April It, and Mr W. G. Martin, hon. sec., will be glad to arrange fixtures. Next Saturday a Juuior League match wil bo played between the Stars and H.M.S. Terrible, and should be a keen one. 1 WEDDIG Caeds WEDDING Cards Ne^ S.ELFA. riox JUST Received.—For Specimens and prices, apply at the Telegraph Offices, Haverfordwest and Milford Haven,
