I RE BICYCLE CHAMPIONSHIP OF PEM- I BROKESHIRE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN. SIR,-Will you allow me, through the medium of your paper, to call the attention of the racing cyclists and sports promoters in this county to the paltry prize offered at Ten by on August 7th, 1893, for the Bicycle Championship of Pembrokeshire, viz., a gold centre medal (no value mentioned). Now, the value of a reaHy good gold centre medal would only be about Yl, unless, of course, it is intended to give a medal as large as a plate, which, I scarcely think, would be acceptable to the winner. Now I ask is that a fair prize to offer for a championship race? Besides entailing the loss of a day, it would cost me (if I competed) as follows:- s. d. Railway fare I 2 3 Bicycle, Is each way 2 0 Entry fee 1 0 Total. 5 3 as well as the risk to my racing machine. Why cannot some sports committee, such as Haverfordwest, advertise a championship race at their sports and give a fair prize. Also not only mention what they are going to give for a prize, but what is the proper value of it, not an imaginary value, such as I see offered for the Half-mile Scratch Cycle Obstacle Race at Tenby, a Lito lamp, value 18s. Gamage, of Holoorn, London, offers this same lamp retail at 10s 3d So I think I am justified in calling the other 7s 9d imaginary. As happens, I cannot compete for the championship on August 7th, as I have to race elsewhere that day, but I will race the winner of it, if he be a Pembrokeshire man, for any prize he may wish. I do not think he will be justified in styling himself champion of this county until he has met and defeated me. Thanking you in anticipation for inserting this, I am. faithfully vours. W. J. COLE. Present Holder of Championship. Pembroke-Dock, July 24th, 1893. 1

TOWY FISHERY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN." SIR,—Mr Williams, the superintendent of water bailiffs, in his report published in the Welshman of July 7th, states Coracle netting has been poor, while seine nets have done well. Salmon rod and line fishing has been a blank." I am not surprised, ,when those seine nets, which are about 150 yards of net, come up to Blackpool, where the river is not over fifty yards wide, and sweep the river down in clear water. They keep the fish down, and there is no chance for the fish to rise at the first of the tide. You may see them from Coclbarli8 upon the different banks throwing those nets across the river, so far as the boat can go. Then they hold the net against the tide on low tides for fifteen minutes, so that it is impossible for any fish to pnss those nets only on the weekly close time. There. fore it is no wonder that the coracle netting has been poor and the rod and line blank and if the Board ot Conservators here will not take the same steps as have been taken in the Ayron Fishery District, j and make a by-law to prevent those nets from coming up a narrow river, it will be useless for us to take out licences in the upper waters. The Ayron Fishery District has made a by-law, as re- ported in last week's issue of the Welshman, fixing the kinds of net that may be lawfully used, and where. Now, Mr Noel Malan, assistant inspector of fisheries, has, after a careful inquiry, recommended that this be confirmed by the Board of Trade. We, on the upper waters, pay more for the preservation of the fish than the seine nets, which take practi- cally the whole of the fish. According to last report the figures were Rod and line, X122 17s; coracle nets, S79 16s; while the seine nets (ten in number) pay only JE50. Yours, &c., UPPER WATER. [On referring to the last Blue Book we find that the by-law to which our correspondent refers has already been confirmed by the Board of Trade. -ED.] TO THE EDITOR OF THE "WELSHMAN. SIR,-In my letter of last week I stated that the weekly close time was 30 hours, but in referring to the by-laws in the Act I now learn that the weekly olose season is, from noon on Saturday until noon on Monday" in this district. (See Appendix 12. Table No. 11.) By this we see that instead of 30 hours, 48 hours is given every week for the sole purpose of giving the full benefit to the fishermen of the upper waters. Now, your London correspondent will see that the fishermen of the upper waters are not under such disadvantages as he thought, for at the inquiry he referred to it was stated by the Car- marthen fishermen that their average time for ash- ing was 20 hours a week. This makes the chances stronger still for the fish to have free and unob- structed access to the upper waters. If you will kindly insert these corrections in your next Welshman you will oblege. CADVAN JONES. I TO THE EDITOR OF THE "WELSHMAN." I SlR,—I beg to thank you for your courtesy in inserting my letter, and I also thank Mr C E Morris and the Rev Cadvan Jones for their courtesy in replying to my letter. I am glad to find that these gentlemen have the anglet's interest at heart, and I hope that they will plainly show that this is so by declining, under present circumstances, to support any measure which will cut down the angler's opportunities of matching fish to a greater degree than has been recommended by the Board of Trade. If they should desire to act consistently with their awn views as to the worthlessness of the inquiry and the report, they should reject the whole of the report and exhibit their consistency by declining to support any of its conclusions. To accept any of -tt3 conclusions will be to ratify the report. I venture to say that Mr Cad van Jones has fairly and impartially stated his points. If we differ I am eure we can agree to differ, even if joining issue, and :bis I do on to monopoly point. Mr Cadvan Jones has introduced new matter. To this I am entitled to say something. He lays stress on the fact that I have not mentioned the weekly close time. As a matter of fact, I dealt with this subject in the rough draft of my letter, and out it out of the clear copy as cumbersome and un necessary to my argument. I, in my letter challenged the Conservators that one year with another the anglers caught six conditioned salmon whilst the nets were on, adding that possibly some few more might be caught in the pools at the extreme head s of the Towy and Cothy, because such few fish as escaped the nets would ultimately collect in these pools. This challenge necessarily carried with it the implication that the weekly close time was inadequate for the purpose of the passage and distribution of the fish to and in the general waters of the rivers. Mr Cadvan Jones is himself an acute reasoner. He will recognise the propriety of the omission, and will be satisfied with my explana- tion. I Mr Cad van Jones writes: Your correspondent will have us believe that he is a true friend of the angler, and would be ready and willing to extend any and all privileges to them. Yet these are the gentlemen who recently refused the reasonable request of a shilling licence to anglers." T groaii under the imputation. I am not a Con- servator. If I was I would be unwilling to charge anything at all for a trout licenoo, when, as things are, I should be giving nothing at all to the angler in retura for it. I am an angler, and as an angler I think it a very I hard thing that a poor man, who fishes at odd times, or a poor schoolboy after lessons, should have to pay 2s 6d for a licence, when a rich angler can travel all over your large district and fish both the poor man's waters and the rich man's for the same money. I can suggest a measure meeting the difficulty, if I am asked to suggest one. I may add that I am in favour of 2s 6d daily, and 10s weelky licences for salmon. Many a poor netsman would 3arn a handsome day's wages from visitors to Carmarthen when the nets were off, if daily licences would be granted, and the board would, in time, when the thing got spread about, get in a lot of two shillings and six- pences. If Fishery Boards were only keener after their interests and would go in for a more progressive and enlightened policy in the management and preserva- tion of their waters and district, salmon, as a food supply, would soon be quadrupled, the netsmen's earnings greatly augmented, the angler's amusement popularised and improved, and the rateable values of counties proportionately advanced. Under the existing state of things a valuable source of public wealth is not attempted to be developed. There is no progressive policy, only stagnation and conflict. I have endeavoured to treat this subject from a high point of view, and without littleness of inten- tion. I do not wish to prolong this correspondence. REGINALD B. SCHOMBERG. East Sheen, S. W., July 25, 1893.

QUESTIONS FOR THE KIDWELLY TOWN COUNCIL AND SCHOOL, BOARD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN." Siit,-I wish you would allow me a small space in your valuable paper this week, in order to ask two of the public bodies of Kidwelly a question each. Firstly, will the members of the Kidwelly School Board inform me, and other ratepayers who are inquisitive upon the subject, how many children there are in town who never attend school? I, sir, insitlt in paying that there are some scores at least. Whole families in many cases. Secondly, will the members of the Town Council kindly state in what town is the whole of the pavement allowed to be closed in for building purposes, and no convenience being made for foot passengers in the meantime ? meantIme? Yours very truly, PRO BONO PUBLICO. Kidwelly, July 25, 1893. PRo BONO 

THE "NAMELESS" STREET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN." SIR,-I am sorry that my reply to Dewi Fycban's letter, which appeared in your issue of the 7th inst., should have so annoyed him, because I never like to be impertinent nor contentious to anyone possessing, as he does, such a distinguished title. He does not seem to have understood the exact mean- ing of my prdvioua remarks, otherwise he would not for a moment think that his little humour," to use his own words, ruffled in any way my sensitive feelings." I still maintain that Dewi Fychan has only been a resident in this part for a few months, and yet, like many more strangers, he wants to rule oar ancient borough, and has the audacity to co-operate with two or three of the owners this time, and not as before, with the shareholders and directors, to call the whole block of thirteen houses The Avenue," in spite of the other seven owners and occupants, who have hitherto and are determined in future to have this new street called St John's Avenue." So Dewi Fychan, with his share- holders, owners, and directors may call the street what they may. In my friend's first letter, he distinctly says that a monthly meeting of shareholders and directors of the said property had been discussing the important question of naming the street. And in his letter ot last week, he clearly states that he only asked some of the owners, who told him that the few had decided among themselves to name it The Avenue." Are, therefore, the remarks, Mr Editor, contained in his first, consistent with those in his second letter ? Surely, Dawi Fychan cannot be ignorant of the fact that where a certain class of individuals are the actual owners of their property it is very unnecessary and quite unusual to have such a meeting clled, because, in my opinion as a ratepayer and a large owner of freehold property, the term 11 shareholders and direc- tors is very suggestive, indeed. Of course, I dou't presume for a moment that even such an important "poet" as Dewi Fychan is infal- lible. We are all fallible, and the probability is that he thought that the office of a director, &c., necessitated his alo being a freeholder. What right, I argue, had the so-called owners to take upon themselves the elaborate responsibility of miming the street without even consulting the majority of the occupants. It most be because they knew perfectly well that neither of them would sanction such a thing, nor would they hear of any other name but St John's Avenue." Again, Dewi Fychan leads us to believe that he knows a little of the law respecting the naming of new streets," because he holds that the few owners has a right to name their own property more so than anyone else. I grant all this; but why expest the other owners and occupants living in the same row to fall in with their views, and to be lead by them as long as they object. and dislike the word by itself ? Surely, sir, such a course is mean, unbusinesslike, and entirely out of the place. As to Dewi Fychan saying that a St Peter's Boy and a heavy ratepayer has nothing to do with the question, then I ask who has. It would be out of place to leave our borough affairs in bis hands, because he, like many agents representing different firms." are "opposed to pitch his tent where his principal directs him, conse- quently he may be removed from this town before he is:called upon to pay hardly any rates. Again, I am sorry that my friend cannot clearly see who I am behind the bush, and yet he feels certain that he has paid rates some time before I blossomed into such an important citizen. Surely he did not reside in Carmarthen then if so, he must be old, indeed. All I can say is, that Dewi has not yet known his man, bec-tuse I was born in Carmarthen over 36 years ago, and have lived here even since. And now I promise you, Mr Editor-at the same time thanking you in anticipation—that I shall not trouble you in future on this point. I am, yours, &c., CIVIS.

THE QUESTION OF RELIGIOUS PERSECU- TION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "WELSHMAN." I DEAR SIR, -It gi\es me much pleasure to undertake this week what, owing to absence from borne for a short holiday, I was indisposed to do before, viz., to follow up the subject of religious persecution. And here at the outset let me remind your readers that I have never once denied the Church's share in it. If other religious bodies equally guilty in this respect had only been honourable enough to confess rather than attempt to conceal the truth, such a correspondence as this would have been entirely uncalled for. But Nonconformists, to their discredit be it said, while unsparing in their ex- posure of the Church, have steadily kept this fact well in the background. I have already shown how that religious liberty was practically an unknown factor during the Cromwelian period. One would have ex- pected indeed that the Independents, having suffered so much themselves on account of religious bigotry, would have been prepared to show some little generosity to. wards opponent*. But no, when the vaunted 11 friends of freedom had an opportunity offered them of proving the soundness and sincerity of their professions, they were found lamentably wanting. Protestant Church- men, Roman Catholics, and Quakers dared not worship God in their own way without incurring the heaviest penalties. The persecuted became perseoutors both at home and abroad, so that what one historian said of the Puritan exiles who had fled to America is also equally true of their brethren in England. It would almost seem that their ambition was to excel their former tyrants in the act of persecuting (Maraden Neal). That was the state of affairs during that period: each party persecuted in turn. It was part of the spirit ot the age. And let us not be too hard upon our forefathers in this respect if they persecuted, it was done in all good conscience as a service to God, and they were themselves in turn ever ready to lay down their own lives when occasion de- manded it. However much we may question their wisdom, we can at least admire their sincerity. I need not fur' her expose to public gaze the various acts of cruelty and oppression-how narrow, bigoted, and vindictive the Independents and Presbyterians proved themselves during the short period of their political ascendency in England-oor dwell any more upon the intolerance shown in America by the very men who had Bed thither in quest of religious liberty. All this is common history, which no one with any claim to historical knowledge would care to question. The Rev D S Davies does not deny it, but in defence pleads that the Independents of the Cromwelian period did not believe or understand the doctrines of the earlier Inde- pendents," and even Mr Lewis James has at last dis- covered such to be the case, and with sadness admits that the spirit of persecution was very general in those times! So far so good. That was the sole object of my calling attention to the subject—to show that inas. much as persecution has been general, none had a right to point the finger of scorn at the other. Before quitting this subject, perhaps I may now be allowed to express a hope that Mr L James and all other mis- guided individuals who have been waxing eloquent, over the murders of the Church will in future turn their attention nearer home. Now we shift the scene and come to another subject. Mr D S Davies says that although the Independents of Cromwell's time "did not believe or understand the doctrines of the earlier independents as to the proper relations of Church and State, the Browniats and the Barrowists of 50 to 80 years before did understand, teach, and publish what is now very generally believed to be tht more correct view. They held that the civil Magistrate had no right to rule in the Church of Christ. The religious Independents held from the beginning that the Stote had nothing to do with a man's religion." Now that statement, as far as Barrow, Penry and Greenwoode are concerned, is diametrically opposed to the truth. Instead of deaying, they exag- gerated the civil Magistrates' prerogative in matters of religion. But before I proceed to prove this point, it may be interesting to remark that of the Brownists- the followers of Robert Brown—(who, by the way, subsequently repented of his error and returned to the bosom of the Church) -Neal, the Puritan Historian, says that "they did not differ from the Church of England in any articles of faith, but were very rigid and narrow in points of discipline." But discipline, as then understood, involved questions of doctrine. Neal adds that they denied the Church of England to be a true Church," and speaks of their" uncharitableness in un- churching the whole Christirn world." The following extracts will suffice to show that these alleged pioneers of religious liberty (1 < did not advocate the liberation of religion from State control, i,e., were no Libertionists (2) that they did not deny the Queen's supremacy and (3) tnat they were intolerant, and merely fighting for the supremacy and establishment of their own peculiar tenets. Penry claims that her Majesty hath full power from the Lord, by her Royal power, to establish and enact all laws, both ecclesiastical and civil, among her subjects her surpreme author, ty within her realms and dominions I acknowledge to be such over all persons in all causes, as no person, either civil or ecclesiastical, may exempt himself or his cause from the power and censure of her laws and sword." Both before and after he became a Seperatist, Peniy was decidedly an Erastian. The Queen and Parliament he declared in his supplication," had alone a divine right to reform the Church, and they sinned against God, stid he, by transferring this obligation to convocation. In fact, Parliament was Peary's Pontiff. I hope it will not be here said," exclaimed he in 1588, "that the Parliament can do nothing in the matter, because hitherto all Church causes have been referred to convoca- tion and doe ye meaoe it shall still be so P He held it to be the duty ot Parliament, not only to Disestablish the Bishop-A and Parish Priests, but also to set about "Establishing the Government prescribed by Jesus Christ," meaning the newly-invented five-fold ministry of Calvin and Beza! "For what assembly is there in the land," he writes, "that dare challenge unto itself the ordering of religion, if Parlia- ment may not. Believe them not who tell you that it belongeth not into your duties to be oareful of the estate of the Churche and that the Lorde requireth no more at your hands, but the mayntenance of outward peace. As though men, committed to your Government, were but droves of brute beasts only to be foddered and kept from invasions and inroads." The Puritans in their Part of a Register" com- plained that the Archbishops had despoiled the Queen of her prerogative as Chief Governess in causes eccle- siastical. When you say," wrote Penry to the Houses of Parliament, "that you may not deal in matters of religion, do you not thereby think you rob yourselves of your own prerogative ? Was Penry an advocate of religious freedom and of Free Church principles? His reply will be found in his "exhortation to the Governor and people of Wales." They were to "compel all to hear the Word, and to subject themselves, at ?M<, outwardly into the true religion." So far, indeed, was Penry from advocating ',Free Church" principles, and tbe liberality and toleration which the pamphleteers ascribe to him that ( he told Lord Pembroke (the one to whom he dedicated his "exhortation") that if "finie Tur k, Papist, or other Pagan idolators remain in some of our Welsh cities and townes he ought to be compelled to conform himself to the outward service of the True God." Barrowe and Greenwoode's views upon the matter were exactly identical with those of Penry. This ministry, wrote Barrow and Greenwocde in 1590 to Lord Cecil, is derived from the Pope." They urged Cecil to move the Queen to make a more extensive use of her ecclesiastical Supremacy. "All Protestant coun- tries about said they have suppressed the Bishops." But they blamed the Queen for having allowed the ministry and orders, which came out of the bottomless pit, still set up instead of Christ's Ministryviz., the aforesaid five pillars." Such sentiments recur with monotonous frequency in all their writings. May I ask how suoh Brastians can be regarded as pioneers of religious liberty? for the liberation of religion from State control? for Free Church prin- ciples P for toleration^and forbearance towards oppon- ents? Mr Lewis James quotes Barrowe to show that he objected to being persecuted. Why should our adver- saries wish to deal with us by the sword and not by the word, by prisons and not by persuasions." What does this prove? simply that Barrow-loud in his advocacy of persecution in the case of others-bewails it when he in turn becomes the victim, for I have already, in a former letter, refered to the mercifal treatment he proposed for the Bishops and Clergy of the Church of England, viz., the fate of the -1 priests of Baal." I will only add that it was this same individual also who called upon the Queen '• to forbid and exterminate all other religions, worship, and ministers within her dominions." Mr D S Davies offers to correct me in reference to Roger Williams. However, I shall not quarrel with him on that subject, but refer him at once to my authority (Cramp's Baptist History, page 415). It may be, however, that that statement has to be taken cum grano salis, as it is evident that though Roger Williams seems to have broached Baptist views at Plymouth, and that those views gave offence, yet there were other reasons why he was banished. The Puritan Colonists, although they had emigrated there in quest of religious freedom for themselves, were not prepared to grant full liberty to others who differed from them. As an illustration of intolerance on the part of would-be friends of religious liberty, see an able article upon The Jesuists of Wales," by 0 M Edwards, in this month's Cymru. r D. M. DAVIES, B.A. I

NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION. Shooting at Bisley. I In respect of weather the climax was certainly reaohed on Thursday, at the annual shooting competi- tion held in connection with the National Rifle Associa- tion. The night was windy and rainy, and volunteers, who were squaded for early shooting, sought such pro- tection against the elements as overcoats and water- proofs could give. Never has been witnessed so pitiable a sight as was presented at the 200 yards range of the firing for the Prince of Wales' prize. Almost a deloge of rain fell with scarcely a moment's intermission from 9 o'clock till about 1.30 p.m. The marking boards were washed clean of chalk marks, and as competitors knelt to handle the rifle, water formed into streamlets I about their garments, making the firing points a very quagmire. Corporal Scott, 1st Roxburgh and Selkirk, won the LIOO and badge with a total of 103 points at the 200 and 600 ranges. The second competition on the programme was the shooting for the St. George's Challenge Vase. This is a competition of general in- terest to volunteers. There were close upon 200 entries, showing a slight falling off from last year. The con- ditions were seven shots at 600 yards. The first prize consists of the vase, which is held for the year by the officer commanding the battalion to which the winner belongs, the diagon cap, gold cross, and L30. Tne shooting took place in a tempest of rain. Private Henry, 30th Middlesex, won tbe vase, dragon cap, gold cross, and £ 30, & Capt MoEvan, 4th V.B. Royal Hussars, carried off the silver cross and £ 25. The bronze medal in the first stage of the Qoeen's Prize was obtained by Private Stock (2nd Liverpool), beating Sapper Sor- riilge (2nd Chester Engineers) by one point. Corporal WaJlingford won the Daily lelegraph Cap with 13 points, the competition being seven shots at 600 yards. Private Pixley, 1st Middlesex, was the top scorer in the Alexandra competition, making 68 points. Sergt. Sheldon, Royal Engineers, came second with 67 points The following were the local scores made in the St. Georgel's competition:- Pts. Corporal Williams, 1st V.B.W. 16 Private Davies, do 2 Captain Hutchins, do. 23 Private Thomas, do. 9 Q.M.-Sergt.

Parfrey, do; 25 Sergeant Tomkins, do. 22 Corporal Thomas, do. 27 Private Williams, do. 28 Private Evans, do. 27 Lance-Corporal Jones do. 25 Corporal Wilson, do. 16 The shooting in the second stage of the Qoeen's Prize was the greit event on Friday, and the competi- tion throughout was attended by an amoant of interest and excitement not equalled before at the meeting since it was moved from Wimbledon. Fortunately, the day was attended by fine weather, and though the wind from sooth-west attained some force at two o'clock, it was, as a whole, not nearly so troublesome as on previous days of the week. Private Stocks, of the 2nd Liverpool, won the silver medal in the second stage of the Queen's Prize, with a record score of 208 points. Private Stocks having won the bronze medal in the first stage, has thus achieved a double distinction. He is the first volunteer to secure both the bronze and silver medals. Sergeant W T Davies, K (Llanelly) Company of the 1st V.B.W.R., adding a splendid 64 to pro-ious aggregate of 140, took second place with 204 points, being only four points below the top soore. Tbe firing at tbe 500 yards in the Quefln's opened a few minutes before noon, and the firing at the second distaoce opened at 2.30, in the presence of several hundred volunteers and visitors who thronged the ropes. There were six Welsh voluntsera in the Qaeen's hundred who took part in the final stage, viz. Pts. Sergeont W T Da.vies, Llanelly. 204 Corporal Gwatkin. Pentre 196 Colour-Sergeant Ball, Merthyr 195 Private Crabbe, Haverfordwest. 192 Acting-Sergeant F Jones, Wrexham 192 Colour-Sergeant Pascoe, Llanelly 189 This is an nnusoally large number to be successful in emerging into the final stage, which consists of ten shots each at 800 and 900 yards. The following are local winners who shot in the 300, bat who have not obtained places in the final stage Ag'te. Sergeant Colley, 1st Welsh, X I 188 Sergeat Tomkins, 1st Welsh, X3 178 Corporal Andrews. I st Welsh, X3 175 Captain Bell, 1st Welshes 173 Tbe Ayr team has carried off the Yeomanry Inter- regimeobl Challenge COP with a total of 461 points. The cup is competed tor by teams of eight yeomen drawn from the several regiments of Yeomanry Cavalry; fifteen shots at 500 yards. In the 500 yards stage of the Graphic, Sergeaat Fletcher, 3rd Hants, was the best with 35 points. In the Martin's Challenge Cup competition (Martini Henry) three competitors scored the same number of points, viz., 15. The China Challenge Cup competition also took place. Toe cup was first presented in 1864 by Volunteers in China for annual competition by the home Volunteers, and 195 is added by the N.R.A. The conditions are ten shots at 600 yards, one team of ten from each county, and teams need not. necessarily be formed of Rifle Volunteers only, bot Yeomanry, Ar- tillery, and Engineers may be included. The cup is held for the year by the lord-lieutenant of the winning county. The cup this year was won by the Lancashire team with 421 points, the next in order of merit being Warwick, 405 (£20), and then York, 402 (915) The following is the score of the Pembrokeshire Battalion in the China Cup competition :-Sergeant W T Davies, 37; Corporal D R Jones, 34; Bandmaster Parfrey, 37; Sergeant Richards, 27: Coloor-Sergeant Pascoe, 44; Sergeant D Rogers, 41; Corporal Andrews, 41; Private Crowley, 36; Sergeant Tomkins, 38; Captain Hatchins, 29 total, 364. Sergeant W. T. Davies, Llanelly, wins the Queen's Prize.vw^ The last competitions of" this year's Bialey Meeting were completed on Saturday, in beautiful weather, and this, with the final shooting for the Queen's Prize and the week-end half-holiday, brought a greater number of people to the ground than had been seen there before during the fortnight. The sun was hot during the greater part of the shooting hours, but its heat was tempered by an occasional breeze, which was by no means welcome to the men, who were watching every chance to make a good place in the Queen's Hundred. The last struggle did not begin until half-past two o'clock. This competition claimed principal attention. The earlier spectators had sought for the spots where the leaders were firing. Stock bad a large share of the popular attention. With 208 points to begin with, he had a useful !ead of four points, but four did not go for much when twenty shots bad still to be fired at 800 and 900 yards with the Marteine-Henry. Sergeant W T Davies, Llanelly, who has a high reputation, and has won the Bronze Medal of his country four times, stood next. According to the Standard he is certainly as good a shot as Stock, but with the result before us we cannot help disagreeing with that great authority, and saying he is a better shot. When the time for shooting at the 800 yards came on the little Welshman (Sergeant Davies) was almost deserted. He bad some of his fellow-countrymen to support him round the ropes, but every pressman and every English find Scotch volunteer in camp were watching the shooting of Captain Rothwell and Private Stock, and other shots from whose ranks the Queen's Prizeman was expected to rise again. But Major Bythway, the commanding officer of the Llanelly Company, stuck to the Sergeant. He sat within the ropes behind him, and every breath of wind bad an answering response in the agitated state of his appearance. It cannot be denied that the Welshman had several dangerous rivals well up in aggregates. At the end of the 800 yards he dropped to third place, Captain Rothwell having increased his aggregate to 242, while D&viea' aggregate was 239. Dalies finished at 900 yards with a grand total of 274, three points below the winner of 1892 (Major Pollock). Captain Rothwell finished with 271, and Sergeant Davies was then 269 with two shots to go. He had only to place a magpie to win. Colonel Wileon (captain of the Scottish Eight) at this critical juncture came to the rear of the firing point, and, by a deprecatory gesture of the hand, warned the crowd not to make any sign which would be likely to disconcert Sergeant Davies. But the marksman himself, as he afterwards admitted when interviewed, had a presentiment that a great deal depended on the ninth shot, and this foreboding was confirmed by the suppressed excitement at the ropes. Pulling himself together, he sent the ninth shot on its fateful errand, and when a magpie—the much-needed three—was signalled the spectators could no longer restrain themselves and broke into a cheer. Every shot was noted, and when at the seventh trial a whisper ran round the camp that the Little Welshman for so he was familiarly called-was bound to win, Major Bythwav was wild with excitement as one would imagine, but the sergeant shot on unconcernedly. I didn't," he afterwards said, know I was so near, and until the shouting began had no idea I was so well up, although I thought the whispering going on when I fired my ninth shot referred to me." On his tenth shot, when crowds surrounded the ropes, he again found the target, and rose from the prone her Majesty's gold medalist of 1893, with a grand aggregate of 274 points. A force of police at once formed up, and with difficulty prevented the friendly mobbing of the hero of the hour. The counterfeit presentment of the Queen's prizeman was at once secured by the aid of the snapshot, and then a small throng of pressmen plied the sergeant with questions as to his career. Major Bytbwav, who was present at the ranges, was the first to offer his felicitations on the triumph of a member of his battalion. After having answered the various questions, and having carried out his rifle, a number of men of his own regiment hoisted him shoulder high, and preceded by an escort of mounted police carried him to the staff enclosure, where the band received him with the strains of See the Con- quering Hero comes." The cheering, which had been vigorous all along the route, was renewed with even more energy when the enclosure was reached. Major Bythway, during this time, had stuck to the hero like a leach-to use a familiar expression. At the enclosure was Earl Wltldegrave (president of the Association), Countess Waldegrave, Lord and Lady Roberts, and Col Mackinnon (secretary of the N.R.A.), and many other distinguished personages. Lady Waldegrave at once pinned the Queen's Badge on the sleeve of the Welsh hero, and cordially congratulated him upon his great distinction. Major Bythway shortly disappeared, but shortly after returned with eight Welshmen in mufti. The victor was placed in the gold medalist's ohair, and, tbe way having been cleared through the crowd, he was carried in triumph round the camp. The major placed himself amongst the bearers, and, on being asked by an inquisitive person whether Sergeant Davies was a teetotaller or not, replied in his jocular manner, Well, he eats, drinks, and smokes, and generally conducts himself like a decent Christian." With the band playing again Handel's well-known march, and several mounted Dragoons in the van, the procession passed on to the camp of the Victoria Rifles. When opposite the pavilion lawn, several officers cheered enthusiastically, and Sergeant Dvieø acknow- ledged the salutation by repeatedly doffing his cap. The enthusiasm reached its climax in the camp of the Victorias. Captain Keeson expressed the extreme grati. fication with whioh the Victoria's and St George's Rifles greeted the victory of a Welshman.-Major Bythway, in a brief speech, said this was the first time the Queen's Prize had gone to the Principality. Somebody had called out" Gallant little Wales." But that was all rubbish; it was Wales and England combined. Sergeant Davies was a Welshman, but he (the gallant major) was an Englishman (renewed cheers and laughter greeted this pointed oration). After the distribution of prizes, Sergeant Davies responded to the toast of his health, which had been drunk by a number of Welsh Volun- teers. He said Wales had in the past been without a rifle club, but one had been started, with the result which they had seen to-day. He trusted that the Prin- cipality would again take the national trophy. Major Bythway's health was also toasted, and reply- ing, he remarked that years ago he said he would never resign his commission until the Queen's Prize had been brought to Llanelly. Now he saw the hope of years accomplished. Sergeant Davies is the winner of £ 250, gold medal, and gold badge. His scores were:—First stage, 93. Second stage, 111. Third stage. —800 yards, 0-4.2-4- 3-5-4-4-4-5 (3,5) 900 yards, 4 2-3-5-3-5-5-3-3-2 (35) total, 70. Grand total, 274. Major Rothwell, was second, with a total of 271,while Private Stocks was a good way down the list. Captain Goldschmidt. the adjutant of the 1st V.B., sent a congratulatory telegram to Major Bythway and Sergeant Davies. Sergeant William Thomas Davies, the Queen's Prize- man, was born and bred at Llanelly, but the town of Carmarthen has also a claim on the hero, as his father was born at Rhydygaellu, a rural place about three miles from the town. He has also, for many years, been a familiar figure on the Danyrallt Range at Car- marthen, and is much beloved by the members of the Carmarthen Company. He is 33 years of age, 5ft. 5!in. in height, and exceptionally strong in build. His con- nection with the V olonteers began thirteen years ago, and was due to the fact that be then conducted the Town Band, which became amalgamated with the Volun- teer Band. This was his fifth visit to Bieley, but the first time to get into the Queen's 300. Some fatality seemed to attend him in this competition. One year he had to shoot in a gale, and was put out at the first lange on another occasion the mechanism of his rifle went wrong. His record in the Queen's compared so badly with his record generally that among his comrades it had become a joke that "W. T." did not get along at all well with Her Majesty. The best of his achieve- ments have been dealt with elsewhere, but it might be added that for the last two or three years Sergeant Davies has almost swept the board at the County Asso- ciation rifle meeting. Last year be took some gocd prizes at Darnley, but did indifferently this year. Two years ago he tied for the first place in the all-comers' competition at Brynmawr, which was attended by Bates, the Queen's Prizeman, and other "cracks." This is no fluky win for the sergeant, as his averages for several years show wonderfully good, consistent shooting. Singularly enough, it was a toss up whether he would attend the Bisley meeting this year. He had been ill for the previous fortnight with a severe attack of quinsy, and the rifle had scarcely been in his hands for some time. Writing on the day preceding the Thursday he was expect.edto leave Llanelly, he stated that it was extremely doubtful whether he would venture upon the journey—" Dr Evans shall decide it to-night." Happily for him, Dr Evans said yes, and, on Thursday, Sergeant Davies passed through Cardiff, looking ill but hopeful of improving as the days went on. His hcpes were realised, and, by the time the competition was in full swing, he reported himself in real good form." He is a brother of Mr David Davies, acting editor of the Western Mail." On Tuesday evening, the I Company of Volunteers from Carmarthen, under the command of Lieut-Cadle (the mayor), went to issist.in the reception of Sergeant W T Davies, the Queen's Prizeman, on his arrival home at Llanelly. The men mustered in good numbers at the Armoury at half-past five, and proceeded to the station, whence they departed by the mail for Llanelly. The whole of the corps from Carmarthen, numbering about 120, were present, and, apparently, out-numbered even the Llanelly men. In fact, the procession appeared to consist principally of Volunteers from Carmarthen. On arrival at Llanelly, the Carmarthen men were dis- missed, and at about quarter to eight fell in again. They were then joined by the adjutant (Capt Gold- schmidt), who received a hearty welcome. After thanking the men, he regretted the absence of the Haverfordwest corps, but, in order to make up for it, they were going to give Sergeant Davies a splendid reception in Haverfordwest on Monday next. During the interval which elapsed before the arrival of Sergeant Davies, a procession was formed of the employes of the Sooth Wales Works, number- ing 1,000 strong, with the LlaneIIy Volunteers and the detachment from Carmarthen. Two white goats were carried on raised platforms, while the whole procession was rendered picturesque and striking by bands of torch-bearers. At nine o'clock, the train which bore Sergeant Davies arrived from Cardiff. Major Bythway and Sergeant Davies immediately alighted, and were received by a guard of honour, Adjutant Goldschmidt, the Mayor of Carmarthen, and other officers. Amidst deafening cheers, the party emerged from the station, and Sergeant Davies and Maj or Bythway were placed in chairs and carried at the head of the procession, which immediately moved forward, the Llanelly Town Band and that of the Carmarthen and Llanelly Volunteers, amalgamated, playing 11 See the Conquering Hero comes." After proceeding around the town, the party mounted to the verandah of the Guardian office. Speeches were made to the crowd below by Sergeant W T Davies, Major Bythway, Mr David Davies (brother of the hero), Lieutenant Cadle, Adjutant Goldschmidt, and others; and, after the hero of Bisley had been conveyed to his home, the Carmarthen detachment returned by the mid- night express. The whole of the railway fares of the Carmarthen detachment were paid by Lieut. Cadle, whose action in this case is characteristic of his usual generosity.

HAVERFORDWEST. BOARD or GUARDIANS.—At last meeting of this board (Captain Higgon presiding), the Master reported that the number of paupers in the House was 115, the number in the corresponding week last year was 100. He also stated that the inmates enjoyed the treat given them by the Guardians on the occasion of the Roval Wedding. Lady Maxwell, of Calderwood, sent X5 to be given in presents to the inmates on the same day. Sir Owen Scourfield has also kindly defrayed the expense of a treat to be given at the seaside to the inmates.—Mr Lewis, of Tyllwyd, said they had parsed a resolution that the paupers should have a feast on the day of the R,yal Marriage, and there was a great deal of objection in the county that this should have been done at the expense of the rates. He moved that the hat should be passed round this board in order to pay for it (cries of Oh.")—Mr J Llewellyn Davies took upon himself all responsibility for the proposal. He did not regret it, and he was sorry to hear it stated that the county objected to what was done. Rather than send round the hat he would bear the expense himself.-Mr W M Lewis also did not regret it,—not by any means. There was a great deal of ditress and difficulty in the county at present, therefore, seeing such a rare oppor- tunity as they bad there in the attendance of guardians, he suggested that the hat should be passed round this board. -Chairman: Mr Lewis prefaced his remarks by saying that there was a very strong feeling oat of doors against the course which the board took at the last meeting. I wish to say this-that the elected guardians who attend here are sent here by the votes of the ratepayers, and if you, gentlemen, in your wisdom and judgment agree to a motion, as you did here this day fortnight, I do not think you should be swayed at all by feelings expressed outside. If we are to be at the nod and beck ot flying reports and statements made out of doors, our independence is gone (Cries of bear, hear.") I also beg most emphatically to take exception to what Mr Lewis has said as his reason for bringing forward his present motion. I do not think so far as I am able to judge, that there is a strong feeling out of doors against our action—(hear, hear)-and I quite agree with the view expressed by Mr J Llewellyn Davies. I do not believe that the feelilfi fefeired to by Mr Lewis is by any means general. IfJff Lewis likes I will put his motion, and take the sense of the board upon it.—Mr W M Lewis I beg to withdraw it, bot as to the feeling out of doors against our action, I would not have said so unless I knew it to be a fact. -Chair- man I never said that you were stating what you knew was untrue. Mr W Williams: I fully endorse what has been said by the chairman, to raise such a question is, I think, a reflection not only upon the board, but upon the loyalty [of the county of Pembroke.—The Clerk The next business is to appoint a oollector of rates for the parish of Fiohguard.- The Chairman then read applications for the appointment from Mr T Williams, Mr D H Lewis, and Mr George Williams.— The Clerk said he bad received a copy of a resolution passed in a vestry of the parish of Fisbguard on June 30, to the effect that the salary of the collector should be X30 in respect of the poor rate, and £ 12 in respect oftthe sanitary rate, making a total of X42. The resolution was carried by a majority of one, there being 41 present. Chairman The salary is £ 52, but you will remember that this day fortnight it was understood that the candidates should be informed that an applica- tion would be made to the Local Government Board to reduce the salary, and whoever was appointed would have to take it on the distinct understanding that he was liable to have the amount of 152 reduced.—Rev T G Mortimer: I should state that the proceedings of the vestry were very irregular. The other party claimed a majority they demanded a poll, which did not take plaoe. Chairman: In the event of any step being taken by the vestry to reduce the salary the person elected must accept office on that understanding. It will be quite competent for those who are dissatisfied with the conduct of the vestry to take steps to annul their proceedings. -Rev T G Mortimer: I beg to move that we do not forward the resolution of the vestry according to my contention, that resolution was utterly null and void.—Chairman You can make the appoint- ment on the understanding that the salary may after- wa ds be reduced.—After further discussion Rev W M Lewis moved that the resolution lie on the table.-A diviaion was then taken, when there voted-For Mr L wis, 28; for Mr T H Williams, 24 and for Mr George Williams, 13.—On a second division there voted for Mr T H Williams, 35 and for Mr D W Lewis, 30. The former was therefore appointed. A BRACING Tozic.-Pel) Der's Qainine and Iron re- novatestbe most broken constitution to Health, Strength, Enerllv. LOGIN. SCHOOL TREAT.—On the day of the Royal Marriage a splendid spread of tea and cake was given to the children attending Penygaer Board School by friends in the neighboorhood. Afterwards sports were held, and prizes (to which Miss Shaw Protheroe, Glyntaf, kindly subscribed) were distributed Amongst the juveniles. The children then sang a number of songs admirably. The schoolmistress (Miss Harries) deserves great praise for her excellent training of the children. Returning to the field the children were provided with buns (given by Mr C F Lewis, Vronwen), gingerale (given by Mr Walters, chemist, Llanboidy), and sweets (given by the committee). In the evening a very pleasant entertain. ment was held in the schoolroom, concluding with God save the Queen."
