SW A CORPORATION EMPLOYE AT OXWICH. — The officials aud workmen employed by the urban sanitary authority, accompanied by a. number of invited guests, made an excursion on Monday to the delightful Bay of Oxwich. Leaving Mr Pike's livery stables at Swansea about nine o'clock in the morning, accommodated in some four or five brakes, the party—numbering about 60—enjoyed a pleasant drive through the beautiful and far- famed scenery of Gower. After a halt at Park Mill, the excursionists proceeded on to their destination, which was reached in good time.

The weather continuing unpropitious, it was thought desirable after dinner (which was supplied by Mr Jones, of the Adelphi, Swansea) to return to the Gower Inn, Park Mill, and upon the excursionists reassembling at this hostelry, Mr B. R. Harvey, an ex-member of the town conncil, presided over a gathering of a convivial character, when singing and dancing formed the principal amusement and attraction, one of the songs being composed by Mr Davies in honour of the occasion. Here with the guidance of the chairman, Mr Martin, foreman of workmen, and other gentle- men, the pleasure-seekers succeeded in thoroughly enjoying themselves, returning home shortly after nine o'clock.

The signal was first given by the display of the flags of the harbour, the captains of the various vessels responding to it as they arrived, without being aware of its real significance. The demonstration may be considered very appropriate, as marking an important step on the part of the harbour trustees.
