CARMARTHEN TOWN v. ITMBLE UNITED. On Saturday Carmarthen Town played Tumble United in the Morgan Arms Field. The home club was minus several of their regular players. and played one man short throughout the game. The first half was fairly even, each side attacking in turn hut Carmarthen's defence proved too sound for the visitors. There was no score at half time. Immediately on the re-start some beau- tiful combination was witnessed between the four Carmarthen forwards. Evans got rid to Exton, at the right moment, and the latter giving the Tlinible goal-keeper no earthly chance, scared a beautiful goal. Soon after Shenton added au-1 other and Evaiis missed when near the net. The Carmarthen forwards played a very nice game. | as did the new man. D. Davies. Final score: Carmarthen. 2 goals; Tumble, nil. 0:

CONSERVATIVE MEETING AT II BURRY PORT. MR. MERVYN PEEL'S SPEECH. I The general meeting of the Conservatives aiid Unionists of the Eastern Division of Carmarthen- shire, held at Burry Port on Saturday night, was a large and. in many people's opinion, a very re- presentative gathering. Mr. E. Trubshaw, Llan- elly, presided, and Mr. Mervyn Peel, J.P., C.C., Danyrallt. Hangadock. laid his views before the members with a view to selection as Parliamentary candidate for the division. General satisfaction was expressed at Mr. Peel's decision to contest the seat. Mr. Peel, who received an ovation, said tke political situation had changed, and, in his opin- ion, it had changed immeasurably for the worse. They saw their best, their oldest, their most valued institutions—institutions that had braved many a storm in the past—threatened not with salutary and much-needed reform, but with destruction. They saw a growing feeling of insecurity in re- gard to all forms of private property, liberty, and the Constitution, and even the Empire itself was in less safe condition than it was ;and, what was, perhapik; worst of all, work and wages were leav- mg the country. In addition to all that, they saw responsible Ministers of the Crown rushing about the country using wild words, and appealing to the basest passions in humanity in order to gain support for their policy. There were only three ways of getting the money wanted by the State-- by increasing taxation, or by reducing expendi- ture, or by adopting a tariff system. The first two alternatives were out of the question. The inter- nal taxation of the country was high enough; they could not reduce the expenditure without starving the Army and Navy. and the only policy was to adopt a system of tariffs which had proved so successful in Germany and America. But that meant the abandonment of what was erroneously called Free Trade. They had had four years' ex- perience of what a Radical Government could do. what it could not do, and what it would do if it could (laughter). The Government had auopted methods of taxation which were discarded by their predecessors as dangerous and impracticable. They had weakened the national defences by re- ducing numerically the strength of the Army and by starving the Navy. They had lost the two- Power standard, never, he feared, again to re- turn. They hadsnubbed find flouted the Colonies, banging, barring, and bolting the door in the face of their moderate request of reciprocity of j treatment. They were increasing the taxation J in a way which must eventually fall heavily upon the poor. They were making use of capital for the purpose of revenue, which any business man would tell them was the right road to national bankruptcy. They had no redress for the want of work and wages which had become a chronic dis- ease in the land. Tn the case of the Navy, the Government had turned hundreds of skilled work- men out of Woolwicli Arsenal and Pembroke Dock- yard, and those men had gone over to Germany. where they were building fleets (laughter). As to small holdings, the Unionist party did not believe in the county councils becoming landlords. They believed in having small ownerships all over the country (applause). The Unionist party did not believe in the principle of compulsion. There was always plenty of land going somewhere in every county. They would like to see a regular system of peasant owners—freeholders established all over the country (cheers). The Unionists, if re- turned, hoped to adopt such a-scheme as Mr. Geo. Wyndham's in Ireland. The House of Lords must stand, but he was in favour of reforming it (ap- plause). The House of Lords ^louldl represent the brains of the country. He would like to see men who had risen to the highest position in the land through their own ability, intellect, industry and perseverance, in the House of Lords—the greatest engineers .the greatest chemists, the greatest men in literature, science and art, and greatest builders (cheers). The Chairman said that he was quite sure, after hearing that speech .that the meeting would feel proud of having been able to secure the services of so akle a gentleman as Mr. Peel to fight their battle for them (cheers). Mr .Howell moved the adoption of Mr. Peel as the Conservative and Unionist candidate, and Mr E. Hewlett seconded, the motion being carried amidst loud and prolonged cheering. Mr .Griffiths, in moving a vote of thanks to the chairman .expressed the hope that Mr. Trubshaw might be prevailed upon to contest the Carmar- then Boroughs in the Unionist interest, and the statement was greeted with the greatest enthus- iasm.

ST. DAVID'S, CARMARTHEN. I BAZAAR IN THE ASSEMBLY ROOMS. I The sixth annual bazaar promoted by the par- ishioners of St. David's, was held in the Assembly Rooms on Thursday last. The large hall in which the stalls were arranged presented a very taste- ful appearance, and the windows not being ob- scured by evergreens, the scene was more light and airy than is usual at these functions. The as- semblage of goods was a tribute to the diligence as well as the persuasive powers of the stall-hold- ers, while the decorations had been very satisfac- torily carried out by Mr. D .Rogers, Lammas Street. The still-lioidet-s N%-t-re:- Men's Stall—Members of Christ Church, who had a very excellent display of useful articles. Coffee Stall-Staff of Model School. Tea Stall—Mrs. B. A. Lewis, Mrs. and Miss Trivett, Mrs. and the Misses Bu shell, Miss M. J. Jones, Miss Edith Davies. Miss C. Lewis, Mrs. Matthews. Mrs. Wliliams. Miss Colby Evans. Miss -N fatt l ie%A-s. W l i l linis, f J. Rees, Miss A. Greaves. Miss M. Lewis, Miss P. Richards, Miss C. Lewis, Miss Richards. Flower Stall—Miss Pooley, Mrs. and the Misses Marsden, Miss Florence Harries. Sweet Still-Ilsses Blan(i Davies, Miss Jef- freys. ami the Misses Leonard Refreshment Stall—Mrs. J. F. Rees. Mrs. Mor- ris, Mrs .Davies, tire Misses Davies. the Misses Morris. Mrs. Evans (Buffalo. U.S.A.). Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd. Mr. Morris, and Mr. J. Davies, ice cream stall. I Farmers' StaH-Jfr. and Mrs. Williims. Mrs. Daniel. Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Morgan (AngelHotel), and Mrs. Evans, Temple Bar. Vicarage Stall—Mrs. Walters. Miss Lewis. Mrs. Parry. and Mrs .Holmes; assisted by Mrs. Ham, Miss Owen. Miss E. Owen. and Miss Hearder. Hoop-la—Mr. E. Collier. As side shows there were entertainments pro- moted bv Mr. Baxter Brook and Mr. W. D. Thomas, in which Miss Ray Evans, Mr. H. J.- .hnes, Mr. Hubert Cooke, Mr. T. Palmer, and Mr. W D. Thomas appeared as the Dons," assisted by Jones's Band; also air gun competi- tions in a roonr downstairs, under the manage- ment of Sergt-Major Martin and Mr. Bushell. Hoop-la also attracted a good deal of custom. During the afternoon and evening there were raffles for a ton of coa I. won by Air. Dan Bartlett: for an oak chair, won by the Rev. Owen Jones a carcase of a. sheep, also won by the Curate; and other articles. There was a good attendance at the opening, among those present being the Vicar (Rev. T. R. Walters), the Mayor (Mr. J. Crossman). Mr. W. TJoyd, Mr. W. Thomas. Mr. Bland Davies. Mr. E. Collier. Mr. Baxter Brook, the Rev. Griffith Thomas, Rev .Owen Jones, Rev .D. T. Jones (Llanllwch). Mr. R. E. Jones (N. and S. Wales Bank), Mr D. Rogers. Mr F Wilkins, etc. The Vicar said the bazaar was for the purpose of trying to get money for various parochial objects, amongst which one had a very firm hold upon all- of them. and that was the Model School (ap- plause) He was sure the Mayor's memory went hack to the time when perhaps he didn't love the Model School quite as much as at present; or per- haps he liked the school, but not the cane of the master. In the davs when he was young the stick was used freely. In these days corporal chastisement was not permissible to any great ex- tent, and the parent at once seized the opportun- ity to take the part of the child against the dis- ciplinarian of the school, which was not altogether wise at all times. But they should suppose, there- fore, under these circumstances, that the parents being wise would naturally come to the conclu- sion it would be perfectly unnecessary that the child should be chastised because he had been so well brought up at home. That was not his ex- perience, and perhaps some of them would be able to re-echo it. This bazaar was the sixth of their series of annual bazaars. There was a considerable amount of trepidation when they first started it. and he fancied there was a certain amount each year as the time came round for organising one. They could, he thought, say. as perhaps had been said on similar occasions, that the room had never been better got up; there was never a greater supply of goods for sale. and the only thing that remained now was that they should see a large company, and that they would prove to be good buyers. He thought every one would go away feeling that it was far and away the best bazaar they had ever held. Everyone had done their best. He thought lie might conscientiously say as a truth that couldn't be denied, that the work- ers in the parish of St .David's were not half- hearted ones. When they set to do a work they did it with all their might. He referred to the appropriateness of the Mayor of Carmarthen an old school bov of the Model School, opening that oazftar. and as. he hoped, giving the full counten- ance he was able to "give to the efforts that were made on behalf of that school (applause). Inhis capacity as one of the managers of the school, and also as Mavor of the town. they looked to him to do something for the school, and he would not be backward lie (the Vicar) was sure in doing all lie possibly could. He asked the Mayor to open the bazaar, and expressed gratification at having his presence there. The Mnvnr said he need hardly tell them he was very pleased to meet them that afternoou, and render such help as he possibly cpuld by stepping into the breach which had been caused by the in- ability of the Lord Bishop of St. David's to at- tend. He congratulated them very iiiii C'h "indeed upon the manner in which they had decorated the room. The stalls, he observed, were well arranged They were well stocked with everything that was not only ornamental butuseful. He saw ample evidence that there had been busy hands who had not been afraid to sacrifice time and magnanimous hearts also who had been equally not afraid to sacrifice money for the church in which they worshipped, and to which they were much devoted He assured them any church must feel proud of a gathering of that kind. and to gather together under such circumstances as they had that after- noon was not an easv matter, but knowing the ] people he had before him. and knowing their cap- acity, he felt positive that nothing they had done in the past would not be done that day. He felt. too. in the Church there must be some workers. I Speaking personally, he was rnther in favour of institutions of that kind. that was when they were conducted on Christian lines .and sometimes he wa.s half inclined to think they were realiv indis- pensable to the welfare of the churches. He (ii(i not wish them to misinterpret what he said. He ?s not confining himself particularly to ^aars so much as to any gathering which would be on- ducive to bringing together young ?and ?ol? d i-n ? a work for any good cause (hear, hear and applause) Any Church, if it wanted its influence felt must be-an organising church ,a living ellui-eh full of adivity. because incapacity meant d'a. If ?hev wanted their church to fulfil the mission for which it was built they must not a]1™ their swords to become rusty, but must wield ?them ?; an?d according to the measure of the work they did ¡ would their achievements be Another reason why he liked institutions of this kind was because thev brought about a better understanding be- tween the people. Oftentimes praconcened no- tions were formed by each which were erroneous and consequently injurious, Agencies of this kind would brkig people together, and what really ap- peared a reality was found to be a shadow only. By social intercourse a misunderstanding was dis- placed and removed, and they came to the con- clusion that So-and-so was not so bad after all when they knew him enemies were made friends. If gatherings of this kind would produce that only, then he contended they had rendered excellent service. The Vicar had just told them their past "bazaars had ben great successes. It was sincerely to be hoped that day's efforts would supersede every other previous effort. He felt sure when night arrived and the total was got at, they would be able to declare the 1M)9 bazaar was the very best St. David's parish had ever had frip- Mr. E .Collier proposed a vote of thanks to the Mavor for coming there at great inconvenience to "himself He and the Mayoress had arranged tc co to London for a big function the next day, and put off their journey until a 'ater train on pur- pose to come there to open the bazaar.

CARMARTHEN COUNTY COURT. I I This Court was held on Thursday, October 21st before His Honour Judge Stephens. Benjamin Jones, haulier, Carmarthen, sued the Carmarthen Rural District Council for £3158. for haulage of three trucks of stone from Ferryside station. Mr. J. F. Morris was for plaintiff, and Mr. I-I. Brunei White for defendants. Plaintiff stated he hauled 20 trucks, and was ptfid for only 17. Cross-examined by Mr. White, he admitted that he had heard these three trucks didn't arrive at Ferryside at all. John James Evans, haulier. Lammas Street, said he was working at Ferryside last December for Mr. Jones, and carted the trucks of stone. For the defence Mr. Brunei White said the three trucks in question never came to Ferryside, but were at Carmarthen Junction, and the County Council had them. It was pointed out to plaintiff in August last that he had not hauled these trucks because they never came to Ferryside. John Richard Williams, checker. G.W.R., Ferryside, produced the waggon book, and said there was no mention of the trucks in question. These were consigned to Carmarthen Junction from Cross Hands on the 28th December, 1908. The invoices had. however, been thrown out at Ferryside and entered in his hook in error, and that was how he came to give the numbers to Mr Jones when he said the Carmarthen Rural Dis- trict Council would not pay him. Cross-examined he admitted that he signed plaintiff's book: "The numbers are carefully checked and found correct.—J .R. Williams," but when he checked the waggons he found out the error. Mr. Gomer Henry ,surveyor, produced the in- voice of six trucks consigned from the Lime Com- pany to Ferryside. all of which lie had paid for. Mr. Martin, inspector on the G.W.R., was called and said he had traced the trucks which had left the Limestone branch ,and he found that between December and March only 17 trucks had left for Ferryside. He had traced the three trucks in question. They were consigned to Carmarthen Junction, and through a mistake the passenger guard put out the invoices at Ferryside. The clerk at first sight did not read the heading and passed the numbers through his books. That was how the mistake arose; it had been discovered in the audit office. The trucks arrived at Carmar- then Junction, and the stones were duly delivered to Carmarthen County Council Mr. Wm. Davies, a messenger from the Lime Works, gave further evidence. The Judge said he had been able to understand the case at first: it was a pity Mr. Martin was not called earlier. They had kept their best witnesses to the last. He was sorry he had been so thick- headed, but the case had been inverted. Verdict for the defendants with costs.

-Z- BEETHOVEN'S SONATAS. I (Translation.—Continued from Welshman," I September 17tli). SONATA, Ot-U S 7. i This Sonata may be classed among Beethoven's greatest, although it is merely distinguished as j No. 7. The Largo, above all, is admirable, :1n. is a model of highest inspiration. As a rule, it is ) more musicianly to work up the whole of a sonata, and not to play extracts from it. as many pianists do however, in a case like this, those whohave not the technique sufficient to execute the Allegro, and the Finale of the present sonata, should be allowed the enjoyment of playing the parts which are less difficult, but full of pathos and beaut v. The Lar?o and the Allegro in the form of'a scherzo which follows it, can be separated from the rest of the sonata, and can be well performed by people who have more expression than technique in their artistic equipment. Allegro Molto, con brio. This movement must be played with great ani- mation, yet it is of a serious character. The first chords are decisively struck, and the first four bars are played forte, the bass E flat being stead- ily repeated, with a change of finger. Now comes a soft passage of twenty bars, during which the volume of sound increases and decreases with great smoothness. The essential thing is to pro- duce a perfect legato, with a gentle, light touch, and an unvarying steadiness of movement. The I long bass notes are well sustained; we have heard careless pupils rap the tied note in the bar follow- ing them; the right way is to strike the long notes with a powerful elastic thumb, so that th-, tone will continue through the length of the tied note. The ensuing scale passages must have a limpid now, while the 6-8 rhythm must be dis- tinctly produced. two fortissimo chords are struck with great fiimness; and the staccuto oc- taves will be light alid piiiiissinio, to contrast, each time they occur, with the stern energy of the fortissimo chords. In the following four smooth quiet bars ,the A, beginning the phrase, should alone be marked out from the rest—a rote of mournful meaning. Take care to hold down the F in the bass. Now comes some legato playing, where the left hand becomes prominent; careful, neat playing is essential in order to produce the charming effects of this passage. The right hand must skip cleverly from A to the high F, which must be accentuated and sustained; meanwhile. the left hand has a downward progression of staccato quavers to work at; light, regular, and perfectly accented. The chords of the following melody must be gently connected and sustained. Each phrase is punctuated by quaver rests. A kind of variation follows, where the notes of the melody mtfst be sustained above the graceful or- namentation of the auxiliary tones. The cres- cendo culminates on deep vigorous chords. Then comes a contrast of pianissimo chords where one must caress the notes, bringing out the cantabile of the treble and tenor .and sustaining the G in alto and bass. Further on is a brilliant chro- matic scale. The continual alternation of stac- cato and legato in the bass, the sforzando on each first beat, tliS'crSscendo of the big scale leading to a fortissimo—all should be rendered as faithfully as possible. The mordents should occupy not a moment's space, and should be brightly done, so as to keep up perfect rhythm. The long passage in semi-quavers is difficult 811 account of the con- tinued speed required. The second part of the movement does not call for special remark, ex- cept that it is more vigorous than tie opening part. Two pianissimo chords bring back the sub- ject of the Allegro in its original key. The piece finishes with a fine crescendo full of fire, in which I the chords are loud, decisive and staccato. C. C.

CARMARTHEN BOROUGH POLICE COURT. GUILDHALL, Monday, Oct. 25th.—Before Mr. Thos. Thomas, Harddfan Mr. T. Davies, Picton Terrace; Mr. W. SpurreJl, Mr. H. E. Jilagdon Richards, Mr. T. E. Brigstocke, and Mr. J as. Davies. Wm. Thomas, retired Navy man, of Neyland, applied for the transfer of the Green Dragon Inn, Wood's How, and in reply to questions said he was applying for a job on the G.W.R., so that he ex* pected if he got work he would be away from the house in the day time. The Bench granted the application on the under- standing that he would undertake to be at home every it 'glit.- John Jones, tinman, í. Shaw's Lane, was charged with being drunk and disorderly on Satur- day night. P.C. Davies (No. 8) proved the case, and said defendant smashed the window of the house where he had been living, doing damage to the extent of 128., the property of -Ni-r.-D. C. Gower. Defendant said he knew nothing about it. He was also summoned for being drunk on the previous Saturday week in Shaw's Lane. The Chairman said the magistrates considered his case a very bad one, getting drunk every Sat- urday night. They would prevent him doing it for a few Saturday nights now. by sending him to prison for 14 days in each case, a month in all. J. E. Footman, farmer, Hafodwen, was sum- moned for allowing his dog to be at large without a collar on the 18th inst. Defendant said the dog followed the servant. A fine of Is. and costs 7s. 6d. was imposed. Wm Williams, farm servant, was summoned in respect of the same offence. Mr. Footman when asked why the man was not present said lie would rather not come, and he ap- peared for him. The Chairman—Most people wiio have sum- monses would rather not come. We want him here; that is no excuse. Mr. Jas. John, town clerk, who was in court, said tjie two summonses were issued by his instruc- tions to show that not only the owner, but the servant was liable if dogs came into town without collars. He thought the justice of the case might be considered to be met. At any rate he took up- on himself the responsibility of advising the Super- intendent to withdraw the summons in this case. The Chairman said as the Superintendent with- drew the case the magistrates had no alternative but to dismiss it, but let it be understood both owner and servant are liable. .John Thomas. Cilfrydyn, Conwil, was summoned for being drunk and riotous in Water Street on the 16th inst. P C. Jones said lie heard the defendant using bad language and found him drunk and wanting to fight some other farmer, causing a large crowd to collect. He spoke to him and told him not to be foolish. butvhe wanted to sti-ike the farmer, which action witness prevented. When witness threatened to lock him up he went awav. Defendant said the farmer shot his bitch twice close by his place .and said he would do it again. They had a dispute and his temper rose. He de- nied being drunk. The Chairman said his temper would not have risen if he had not had drink. When he came to town he must try and keep that temper down. Fined 5s. and costs. j

Dauy- gi-aig relieved to centre and the College were hardly pressed, but relieved on the line. A Dany- graig three-quarter made a mark in front of goal, but the kick went wide, and the game transferred to the visitors' 25, where severe tussels were in favour of the College. Relief came from a kick into touch. The bal lwas worked down and from a scrum near the line Crocker scored a try which Ward converted after a quarter of an hour'; I play. Danygraig again worked down, but relief came from a mark close to goal. A very nice game was played on both sides.

CARMARTHEN GRAMMAR. SCHOOL v. I TRAINING COLLEGE. A Rugby football match was played on the Grammar School ground s on Thursday, 21st inst., between the Training College 11. and the Gram- mar School. The field was not in very good con- dition after the heavy rains. The referee was Mr j J. O. Morgan, who did his duty very fairly. The School team was really superior, and ought to have won. Of the forwards, the best were J. L. Ifot- gans. T. A. Roberts and W. S. Morris. C. G. Lewis who played half-back with Mr. Bidgood I played a fine game. When the School scored the hall was dribbled down to the line between G. Jones and T. M. Davies, and T. A. Roberts dropped cm it and scored. I. T. Davies failed to convert, but made a fine kick. When tlie i], lege II. scored their try W. Hopkins ran in touch alt the way and scored. The touch marker for the School' was A. O. Jones, whose opinion as to whether it was then in touch was different to everyone else's. The College try was uncon- I verted. At half-time the score stood one try each. F. Thomas only had one real chance and carried the ball and passed to C. G. IA-wis, who carried it over the line, but the point was not allowed owing to a forward pass. In this hair the College was only in the School twenty-five once. The College full back saved them a. good deal by, his fine lengthy kicking. Final wore: Grammar School, I try (3 points); College II., 1 try (3 points).

11 PEMBROKE NOTES. — For being in the bar of a public house with a four months' old baby, a gipsy woman was at Pem- broke Dock on Saturday fined 10s., including costs. To mark their sense of indignation at the decision, and their sympathy with the poorly-clad woman, Mr. R. D. Lowless and Mr. F. S. Ree d, solicitors, gave handsome donations, which nearly paid the fine. • Pig farming seems "tp be a profitable hobby at Pembroke Workhouse. During the year just end- ed a elearprofit of £4i was made on 62 pigs, not- withstanding the fact that one young porker died a premature death. • • • A popular wedding took place at Bethany Bap- tist Church.

A correspondent of the Yorkshire Post says: It is believed that the Commission have found that the Church of England possesses considerably more members than any single Nonconformist de- nomination in the Principality. It is said that the Commission will report that the Welsh Angli- cans number from one-tifth4 to one-fourth of the Welsh population, and that the four principal sects are the Presnyterians or Calvinistic Metho- dists, the Congregationalists, the Baptists, and the Wesleyan Methodists. TRACES or PIIKHISTOUXC ATAV IN WALES.—At Bir- mingham University on Friday night Professor I E. Anwyl, University College. Aberystwyth. de- livered his presidential address to the members of the Undeb and Brytlioniad. his subject being Raoes of Prehistoric 1fan.in Wales." The let- ture was based upon investigations made and papers written by Professor Anwyl for the Cam brian Archaeological Association. Of palaeolithic man, he said, there were no certain traces in the 1 Principality. The most likely places in which such tra-ces might be found were the caves of the Vale of Clwyd explored by Professor Boyd Daw- kins, the caves of South Pembrokeshire and Car- marthenshire, explored by Edward Laws. and the caves of Gower. which contained some of the finest remains of extinct animals to be found in Wales. Of neolithic* man, however, the man of r the newer stone age. there were numerous traces in Wales, especially of his burials. Most ar- chioologists were of opinion that the cromlechs of Wales were the ancient tombs of the neolithic period which were covered at one time with a mound of earth, and with stone. Prof. Anwyl suggested that possibly some of the later crom- lechs of more elaborate type might have been left uncovered. The remains of the stone age in Wales in the form of cromlechs were to be founct mainly in West Wales, Anglesey, and Pembroke- shire being especially rich in these remains. There were also some excellent specimens in South East Wales. Coming to the Bronze Age, he said bronze implements had been found in several parte of Wales, and were of a type similar to those found in England and Ireland, especially Ireland. The chief remains of the bronze age, which began in Wales about 1500 B.C., consisted of burial mounds which contained for the most part stone chests, holding vessels in which the ashes of the dead were placed, the practice of cremating having extended at this period through nearly the whole of the Principality. The bronze age w,- .is succeeded by the early iron age. about 250 B.C. The iron im- plements of this age had nearly all perished through rust, but the bronze implements of this period were distinguished by their Striking orna- mentation and by their enamel. It was to this age. in all probability .that some of the chief hill portresses of Wales belonged, such as the Trer- ceiri, in Carnarvon, and Garngoch in Carmarthen- shire.
