CADOXTON & DISTRICT MASTER BAKERS' HOLIDAY TRIP. Under the auspices of the Cadoxton and Dis- trict Master Bakers' Association a company numbering between sixty and seventy had a most delightful trip to Tintern on Wednesday last. The weather on the occasion was everything that could be desired, and the manner in which the general arrangements were carried out seemed to leave nothing whatever wanting, great praise being due to Mr J. H. Davies, the energetic secretary, assisted by Mr B. Lewis, the president, and Mr J. Spickett, treasurer, for the businesslike manner in which the outing was arranged. Leaving home shortly after eight in the morning, the company journeyed by rail to Chepstow, where all alighted, and an hour was spent in a visit to the historic castle and other places of attraction and interest in the town. Re- joining the train at 11.15, the excursionists pro- ceeded to their destination at Tintern, where, after a brief interval, the visitors sat down to an excel- lent dinner in an arbour specially fitted up in the gardens of the Royal George Hotel. The chair was occupied by the president of the Association, Mr B. Lewis, and the vice-chair by Mr H. C. Griffin and Mr B. Summers, amongst the com- pany present being Mr Edward Hughes, Mr J. L. Davies, Mr and Mrs J. Spickett, Mr J. H. Davies and Miss Davies, Mr J. Westall, Mr Watson, Mrs Matthews, Miss Chappell, Miss Lewis, Miss Kendrick, Miss Taylor, Miss Mooney. Mr and Mrs Simmonds, Mr J. Cutter, Mrs and Miss Burbidge, Mr and Mrs J. R, Llewellyn, Mr J. A. Owen, Mr F. C. Fairbairn, Miss Morris, Mr T. Davies, etc. A thoroughly welcome repast having been done full justice to, a suitable toast list was gone through, the President, in submitting the toast of The Queen and Royal Family," making loyal reference to the birth of her Majesty's great-grandson. — Mr B. Summers, in suitable terms, proposed the toast of "The Cadoxton and District Master Bakers' Association," and spoke of the highly favourable circumstances under which the outing was being1 held, and he trusted much prosperity would attend the association. (Cheers.)-The President, in response, said notwithstanding what might be said by the Cardiff newspapers to the contrary, he ventured to say that 4.Jd charged for a good whole- some loaf of bread was not an exorbi- tant price. In fact, bread sold at anything under fourpence represented a loss to someone or obher. (Hear, hear.)—Mr R. O. Jones submitted the toast of The Trade of the District," which was acknowledged by Mr H. C.Griffin, who amid appltuse, alluded to the cheering prospects which distinguished the commerce of Barry at present,—Mr Watson proposed The Guests." and the President returned thanks on behalf of the visitors who had kindly united in the outing.- Mr J. Spickett, in proposing The Secretary," referred to the indefatigable services rendered by Mr J. H. Davies on behalf of the Association.— Mr J. H.

There were present —Mr W. Thomas (The Hayes), and Mr B. Lewis. The officials present were—Messr3 J. A. Hughes (clerk), J. C. Pardoe (surveyor), and R. Howell -(caretaker of the slaughter-house). The following butchers attended :—Messrs Burnett, Spencer, Jeremiah, and Guy. -The Clerk explained that the object of the meeting, first of all, was to fix what time of the day the slaughter-house should be closed during hot weather, as it was impossible for the caretaker to attend there early in the morning and remain far into the evening and, secondly, the meeting was called with the hops that the butchers would attend in large numbers, and make any suggestions they might think fit to the committee. The Clerk stated the committee had not had an opportunity of meeting r the butchers in the district since the slaughter- house was opened, and that they were desirous of tearing the opinion of the butchers on the workings of the slaughter-house.—The Chairman pointed out that a deputation had been appointed by the Local Board, who had visited slaughter- houses in Birkenhead and London, and bad seen the most modern and approved appliances, and they bad reported to the Board, who were pre- pared to proceed with the erection of a modern and convenient slaughter-house as soon as the occasion arose.—Mr B. Lewis stated the fees I received in connection with the slaughter-house barely covered the working expenses. The Board bad expended from JB700 to £1,000 in the erection of the slaughter-house. They had also obtained a. suitable site for the erection of a cattle market when the necessity arose, but as things were at present, the fees received only just covered the caretaker's salary, the rates and taxes, &c., on the slaughter-house, without paying any interest on the money expended. He felt strongly that -the butchers of the district should rally round the Board, and assist them in this matter. If the butchers would support them, he helieved the Board were ready to erect a model slaughter- Siousa, with all the requirements that are to be Board were ready to erect a model slaughter- Siousa, with all the requirements that are to be found in the best slaughter-houses in the king- dom.—After some comments by Mr Jeremiah, Mr Spencer, and Mr Guy, it was resolved that the meeting be adjourned until the 15th inst, Mr Jeremiah undertaking to communicate with the butchers, in order that their views might be obtained before the next meeting.

He had had plenty of opportuni- ties, but he had allowed them all to slip by. At last he had determined to amend, and no temp- tation would ever lead him to do wrong again. He had been in prison for years,'his sentences increas- ing as time went on, through previous convictions for trifling offences. He had not many months to live, solitary confinement had broken up his con- stitution, and he wanted to die out of prison.- The chairman, knowing the prisoner's antecedents, doubted his sincerity. He was not only an old man, but an old criminal. He was not too old, however, to turn over a new leaf, and, exercising a leniency which would, perhaps, astonish him, he would be sentenced to six calendar months for each offence. The sentences would run con- currently, and prisoner would be only six months in gaol.
