Barry Herald

[BY "ATHLETZ."] The star of Barry is net ascending. • • There was a Large crowd on Saturday last at the Llwyncelyn enclosure, Porth. At the commencement of the game the Unionists were much pushed, but Green saved. Picken was there with his big kicks, but the defence of Barry was good, and Picken's kicking resulted in nothing. • • Before half-time the Porth people managed to score, Stone doing the trick from a kick delivered by Parry. This was a neat performance, and deserved the applause it received. 0 0 • W. H. Williams scored the second goal for Porth, though Sutton played a fine game. He had a very busy time and played with his usual coolness, and was the means of saving the visitors from a more ignominous defeat. 0 0 The final score was 2 goals to I goal, Barry being the one. Mr A. W. Williams, Llanelly, one of the most popular and impartial of referees, was on the the field. Towards the close rain fell, and this caused the game to slacken considerably. • • • Magnificent weather favoured the reserve teams of Porth and Barry on Saturday at the Jubilee Field, on the top of the hill, and there was a respectable crowd round the arena. Porth were of the two the heaviest team, and looked like winning, but man proposes, and it was not so. • • The same scores were made as at Porth, but the positions were reversed, the Seconds here showing themselves superior by two goals to one. It was a very hard fight for Porth during the first halt, because they laboured against a very heavy wind, and the common opinion was that when the por- tions were changed Barry would tuff. r. But the superiority of the home team was never more dis- tinctly proved than when the positions were reversed. < < • W. H. Gregory, a Porth first," who acted at goal, was an amusing goalkeeper, especially when about 50 yards from his post, as was the case more than once on Saturday. W. H. appeared to have but indifferent opinions of the capabilities of the attacking eleven, and whisked about. like a monkey, making forage into the interior and playing with the ball; in fact, he carried it too far, and was ultimately the cause of losing a goal by giving one to the others. The Barry West End were strong on Saturday as the Cardiff Albions, whom they played at Bairy. were weak. The game lost much of its interest owing to that fact. Williams, Tolohard, and Morgan (the latter twice) scored for the home team, and the visitors went home rejoicing bur they didn't score anything. Another game played at Barry was that between the Barry District Juniors and Old Boys. This, again, was a one- sided game, the Old Boys scoring nothing and the home team four goals. » • In the Rugby section of the game the Barry Island United team met the Riverside (Cardiff) Club at the former's ground on Saturday, and scored two goals each. The Penarth Corinthians- played the Singletons at Penarth, when the latter had the advantage and came out four to one. Di-tas Powis beat the Canton Rovers at the Jubilee Park, Cardiff, by two goals to one try. A tight match was fought between Penarth Villa and Old Higher Grade, the Villans being beaten by three goals to two. • After their defeat by Cardiff on Saturday last, the Hospitals played a game with Peoarth on Monday. A goodly number witnessed the match. On the day's form Penarth played a good all-round game, a vast improvement on their previous dis- filay. Although the Hospitals were badly beaten rom start to finish, they played pluckily up the time the whistle blew, Penarth coming out winners by 1 goal 3 tries to a placed goal.

CONGREGATIONALISM IN AMERICA. ADDRESS BY ALDERMAN J. C. MEGGITT. Alderman J. C. Meggitt, J.P., who has lately returned from a vieit to America, gave a short address at a social gathering of Barry Congre- gationalists in the Wesleyan Schoolroom Barry, on Friday evening last,»on Congregationalism in America." Mr Meggitt who represented the Barry Congregational Church at the Boston Conference, said that about 60 delegates from England attended the conference, one of whom was Rev Gwilym Jones, of Penarth. One of the subjects dealt with at the conference was the Sunday newspapers, which Mr Moody, the American divine, had said was a terrible curse in the United States, and he (Mr Moody) spoke of the great victory which had been gained in England in the suppression of the seventh day newspaper. One of the peculiarities of American Church life, Mr Meggitt contended, was the poorness of the attendance at evening service, compared with that of the morning. This was in direct contrast with England, and many of the churches in Connecticut and the New England States closed their churches in the evening for that reason. Another noticeable feature of American educational and spiritual life was the freedom of thought and action. There being no State Church and no spiritual tyranny—no spiritual despotic rule—this free- dom extended throughout all classes of life, an,1 in American schools Protestant, Komau Catholic, and Jew sat side by side. The first National Council of the Congregational Union was held in London iu 1891, when it was presided over by Dr Dale. The Council just concluded in Bosten had 200 representatives from America, 60 from England, 15 from Australia, 2 from Japan, 4 from Africa, 5 from Asia, and 2 from Mexico, amounting in all to over 400 delegates, many accompanied by their wives. Speaking of the richness of American Churches, Mr Meggitt condemned the pew-rent system, and also the artificiality of the services, many of the Churches employing professional Ringers to lead the congregation, and dispensing with the voluntary choir. One thing impressed him very much. He was afraid that the worship of G >d in America was more of the head than the heart. The poorer classes in America bad not that place in the Chuich which, as Christians, it was the duty of their richer brethren to extend to them and this, he felt sure, was one result of the pew system. Mr Meggitt concluded by saying that his visit had been one ofwonderfulmterest to him, the greatness of their caase bad impressed him very much, and the stimulus he had received would, be hoped, enable him to do his share in the work that was before them all. It is Alderman Meggitt's intention to speak of American Sunday schools at an early date, a subject which ought to be of great interest to Sunday School teachers. -=-========:.

MONDAY. Before Colonel GUTHRIE and Mr LEWELLEN WuOD. EXEMPTION FROM VACCINATION. James Hutton applied for an ord..r of exemption from vaccina'ion on the ground that such was dangerous to the health of his child, Arthut Gilbert Hutton.—It was granted. OFFENCE UNDER THE EDUCATION ACT. W. Williams, newsagent, Thou) Pson-street, was charged with an offence contrary to Section 5 of the Education Act by employing a boy named David Morgan, aged 10 years, to sell newspapers during school hours on the 12th ult, The case having been proved, defendant was fined 10s. SCHOOL BOARD PROSECUTIONS. G. Hearson was cited to appear before the magistrates to answer for his boy's irregular attendance at school, but he did not appear, and the case was adjourned for a month. The following parties were fined for the same (iffence :-James Brown, 5s; Maurice Cotty, William Reanie, and Mrs Fred Bayward, 2a 6d and Joseph Potter, 5s. LIGHTLESS RIDERS. Arthur Hainmond pbaded guilty to riding a bicycle on the highway after sunset, the same being insufficit ntly illuminated, ai d was fined 2s 6d and James Taylor and Frank Stafford were both driving Vt hides ou ths highway after sunset in the same condition, and a fine of 58 each was imposed. DOGS ALLOWED TO TAKE A STROLL. The following ratepayers allowed their dogs to take a stroll—a very natural thing for a dog— without hen g dre,se(i, as appl ov( riljy Mr Long's depaitment, ai d were mulcted in various amounts; -chai-Its liatbertou, ce Gtwge Baksr, 6t; Wm Bushell, 5s Edward Jenkius, 7s 6d WalliiNash 5s Charles Spratt, 7s 6d Henry Harford, 5s,; Noah Trenchard, 5s Mrs Fouracres, 5s John Spickett, 58. THREE BOGUS TRAVELLERS. Daniel Ponting, Richard Evans, and Wm Allen, all of the labouring persuasion, were found to have falsely pretended to be bona fide travellers on the 17tb ult.-David Gibbon, mine host of the Red Lion, Bonvilstone, served the trio during prohibited hours, who represented themselves to have come fiom Won voo. -Police-sergeant White having given evidence, defendants were each fined 10s, or seven days.—The fines were paid. A ROW IN OUR STREET. Mary Ann Caldicott, who explained, during many evidences of a sensitive nature, that she was the mother of 13, absolutely denied that she used language other than what was becoming in a mother of 13 in Holton-road on the 21st ult. Police-constables Harl is and Welsby were at great pains to convince the magistrates the other way, and they succeeded, for notwithstanding the evidence of Thomas Radford in Mrs Caliicoit's favour that lady was fined 5s. WOULD NOT OBEY THE BARMAN. James Diiscoll did not refuse to quit the Victoria Hotel when asked to do so by Police- constable Bcothby on the 21st, although the bar- man had asked him in vain. Having complied with the policeman's ultimatum Driscoll was told he was free. PEOPLE WE COULD WELL SPARE FOR THE WAR. A number of ladies and gentleman behaved in a disorderly manner while being drunk in various parts of the district, although it would be well if some ancient statute could be unearthed so as to to enable the Bench to dispaich some of these people to the front. They were Mary Jaue Skeppard, for whose appearance a warrant was issued, and also for Eliz beth Wooiacott aud GeOige Bi-ker. Gtorge Fisher, 5a; the same to Thomas Jackson and Hemy Huleuian; Joseph Bibby, 7s 6d likewise John Matthew, Robert Macdougal, and William Wood, Thomas Brown getting off with a fine of 2s 6d.

PAWNBROKER AND "MASTER MARINER." ALLEGED FALSE PRETENCES. At the close of the business of the Barry Dock Pulice-court on Friday last J. B. Shaw, a pawn- broker, of Sheffield, made an application for a warrant for arrest against Captain J. C. Mills, a master mariner, otherwise a ship's steward. Ap- plicant had a number of telegrams and other correspondence in his possession, which he handed to the Bench for perusal, and stated that Mille had ebtained goods from him by false pretences. The goods obtained were 36 razors, valued at f4 16s., 36 pocket knives, and two dozen sets of carvers, to the value ot JE4 9s. The olerk and the magistrates, having examined the correspondence, asked where were the false pretences ? Applicant: He represented himself to me as a master mariner, and he is only a ship's steward. He told me he was coming over here to take troops to Africa. Bench There is nothing here that would lead you to believe he was a captain. Applicant: I have been led to believe so. The man goes to sea, and has a Wilson liner's badge on his cap. Chairman I would advise you to instruct a solicitor, Applicant: I will apply to the Pawnbrokers' Protection Society, Bench We cannot grant a warrant. Applicant said the man lived at that time at Barry Dock, and Ultimately a summons was issued against him, but we have since learnt that no ploceedings will be taken.

STEALING AN ARTICLE OF DOMESTIC USE. Jane Price, a married woman, was charged in custody on Monday at Barry Dock Police-oourt "ith feloniously stealing a bed sheet, valued at 2s, the property of Mra Elizabeth Thomas, an old lady liriDg at 24, Harvey-ott-eet, with whom prisoner lodged. Complainant missed the article on Satur- day evening when prisoner left.—Fred Hughes. a pawnbroker, of Vere-street, Cadoxton, deposed that the prisoner pledged the article with him in the name of Annie Besant on Friday last, and Police-constable Mendus said that in answer to the charge, the woman wanted to get some money for my husband.She was fined 5s, with an alternative of seven days.

THEATRE ROYAL, CADOXTON. AN AMUSING INCIDENT. An enthusiastic audience greeted the "Stow- away on Monday evening last at the Theatre Royal, Cadoxton. The "Stowaway" is in- tensely real, and for this reason was received with live and unmistakeable appreciation by the crowd which forpgnthered there on the opening night. Public opinion is an unerring judgi, un I the natural ways and means adopted by the actors to place before the auiience the plot of the piece, and the absence of all unrealism give that opiuion an opportunity of at once showing itself. Foremost among the actors in the "Stowawav" is Dickv Dials (Mr Victor du Cane), the stowaway, a most amusing combina- tion of the vulgar shortcomings of mankind, but good at heart. Dials has many good songs and some entertaining pa-t(-r, which he con- tinues right through the piece. He is im- mensely popular. '1 hH leading lady is Altheli Dale (Miss Winifred Maude), a most pleasing impersonation, and especially so in the early scenes. The lady, however, whose life forms a not uncommon tragedy in real life, is Florence Ktheringtun (Miss Ehzabeth Turner), who is wife of the evil genius, and who, io the third act, is sacriticed as being in the way of his ambition. This scene, in fact, is one of supreme interest. All the elements of a vulgal row occur in a common lodging-house in Fridgett's-clos^, London, E., but it is tembh rtjtil, and a piece of sustained acting wi,ich is raiely been out of the bounds of low lif. Charles Eth,-riiigton, the husband and murderer of "Miss Gray," is a man about town, a roue. a gambler, and fortune-hunter. Mr Frank Weston admirably sustains the hf-av) mau's, or villain's, part, and during the fourth act the scene was so impressive that one m^mb^r of the aud nee-a feiiinle, we believe-, ailed upon the viiiain to bold his hand. TOIII li glis, known 116 long Samson (Mr W. Travis Ureen) is the her", a sailor, an heir, and a gentlemen. It is while Tom was being bound to the mast that the excited young female before mentioned raised her voice in protestation. It was a compliment to the actors. A noticeable character is Chuckey, a London newsboy (Miss G<-rtie "t Clair), very original and entertamii g. Chuckey u 1 BLtheL Dnle contribute soun- very sweetly "Uug songs, ttno a dance, in which they both take part. Otb, r impersonations in trois fin- pro< uct on are Percy Ewart (Mr Gerald Bhke), a very good attempt at an addlepated, moneyed coxcorub; Paul Inglis (Mr James I.ang'ry), the father of TDi, Job Hickey (Mr Alf. Fet-ri -),a ttischaigefi'aiiiaii "alloy Prous- Inspector Johnson, Dttt-ctive Lynch, Leveu t I Atkius, Siid Jawkius. I

BARRY PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS. This committee of the Barry District Council held a meeting on Tuesday evening, under the presidency of Mr E. B. Smith-Jones (the chairman), the other members present being Councillors D. Morgan, J. L. Davies, and J. A. Manaton. THE FIRE BRIGADE STATION FRONTAGE. Mrs Poynton Newman attended before the committee with reference to the frontage of the fire-engine station, and put severnl questions to the Chairman respecting his knowledge of the intentions of the Council when he disposed of the property adjoining to Dr Iserwood, of Soutbport, for whom she was at present acting. The Chairman characterised these as baseless insinuations" of a strictly private eharacter, which he would be able to meet at the proper place and at the correct time. Mrs Newman also complained that communications sent to the Council by the owner of the property had not been granted the courtesy of a reply, and it was stated that inasmuch as the matter had already been considered by the committee tin- decision then arrived at should be sent. PORT ROAD. The Surveyor produced plans of the proposed widening "of Port-road at Barry to 50 feet, instead of 40 feet, as originally intended, and it was now agreed to accept these plans provisionally upon the estimate ot cost being accepted. PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS AT RICHARD-STREET. Mr Waite, a property-owner, appeared before the committee and expressed it as a hardship that he should now have to pay for improve- ments in the back lane of Richard-street, seeing that he hid already paid JE30 16s for the frontage. By thus calling upon him to do this he considered that it would be of no use to him. It was iniquitous and unfair that he should be obliged to pay this money while his neighbours had only to pay X7. It was a corner house, and had he known it sooner he would never have speculated upon them.—The committee decided to consider the matter in the absence of the press. PENCOEDTRE-ROAD. Plans of the proposed widening and straight- ening of Pencoedtre-road leading from Cadox- ton to Wenvoe were submitted by the surveyor. They showed a roadway going up the hill at an easier grade than at present near the reservoir and joiuing the Port-road. It was agreed first of all to approach the Dinas Powis Rural District Council to join them in the promotion of the scheme for a 50 foot road and also confer with Mr Robert Forrest as to the necessary land. LANE REAR OF HOLTON ROAD. It was stated that only three replies had been received from owners of property in Hoi ton- road to an inquiry of the Council whether they would contribute towards its construction. Messrs Marshall, R. O. Jones, and D. John sent offering to contribute their share, but it was eventually decided to proceed with the work according to.the estimate of the surveyor, viz., X48. PAVEMENT IN HARBOUR ROAD. The Surveyor produced estimates for laying kerb and channelling on one side of Harbour- road, Barry, and it was eventually decided to defer the matter for the present.—The Chair- man suggested that this was an opportune moment for approaching the Barry Company to hand over the road from the Barry Hotel past the railway station, and upon this the Clerk 8 .id it would be better to discuss that in private, and that course was adopted. THE PORTHKERRY FOOTPATHS. Prices were put in for fencing required in connection with the footpaths at Porthkerry, which it has been decided to fence off from the other land belonging to the Romilly Estttte.- Councillor Manaton pointed out that a certain class of fencing was necessary, but it was decided to adopt the price submitted. MISCELLANEOUS. The Committee agreed to spend £ 7 10s in pro- vidingr the surveyor with proper office accom- modation.—On the proposition of Mr Smith Jones, seconded by Mr D. Morgan, it was decided not to establish a forge at the Gas Works for the purpose of sharpening the tools, &c.- The surveyor was authorised to allow contrac- tors to obtain crushed stone from other quarries than that of the Council, owing to the limited amount of stone the present crusher turns out. PYKE-STREET POST-OFFICE. A letter was read frum the General Post Offict- Department, in which the 1 ostmaster- Oeneral regretted he could not comply with the request of the Council that a telegraph office be placed in the Pyke-street Post-office, stating that the question was considered by the Depart- ment in .November, 1897, and it was agreed to write to the Postmaster-General urging the necessity of a telegraph office at that place. LETTERS. Letters were read from the Local Government Board sanctioning the Council in advertising for tenders for private street works in various streets from Mr Geo 'I homas and Mr Walker with reference to putting down pavements and from Mr Forrest re road to pier. 9

THROUGH READING THE FOOTBALL REPORT. MAN'S JAW BROKEN AT BARRY DOCK. PRISONER COMMITTED FOR TRIAL. At Barry Dock Police-court on Monday (before Mr J.S. Batchelor and Mr Lewellen Wood) John Thomas, a labourer, living in Charlotte-place, Cadoxton, charged William Thomas, on bail, with unlawfully wounding him on the 21st ult, at the Biss-ett Hotel, Barry Dock.

An argument ensued, when piis' ner struck hm in the face. He fell, and was ¡\'ain struck by Thon.as. who cut his !ac,- an,l Icos,,d his tetth.

DEPARTURE OF MR JOHN WARD. AN ENTHUSIASTIC SEND OFF." A most enjoyable smoker was held at the Witcbill Hotel, Cadoxton, on Saturday evening last, which had been organised by some friends of Mr John Ward, who is leaving this district to take up his duties in London {as the general secretary of the Navvies' Union. Amongst those who supported Mr John Ward, who him- self presided, were Messrs S. J. Wade and James Cooksley, trustees of the Navvies' Union T. J. Chamberlain, secretary of the Barry Trades and Labour Council; J. H. Cooper, secretary of the (Shipwrights' Society; E. Griffiths, Coal Trimmers' Union; W. Ball, A. Green, J. Jones, J. Roberts, W. Tame, W. H. Evans, &c.-Mr Ward, on rising, met with a very hearty reception from the audience pre- sent. In the course of a brief and elaborate speech, Mr Ward dwelt on the good feeling existing between him and the public of Barry, and also on the good work which bad been done on behalf of the Union which he represented. True, some did not agree with what had been said and done; but opposition was to be met everywhere. He admired opposition, if that opposition was for the good of his fellow-men. Mr Ward then dwelt on several topics, chiefly among which was the strike among the navvies which took place a few years. He was of opinion that the strike did a great deal of good, because it had risen the standard of wages higher than they were before. During the strike, which lasted about 13 weeks, they were able to collect about S800 on their behalf, which went to show that the sympathy of Barry was in full accord with the movement. He felt very sorry that he had to leave the district, especially as he was leaving one who was very dear to him. He referred to his little boy who was laid in bis grave at the top of the hill.-Other speakers followed, including Mr Chamberlain, Mr Taylor, and Mr Tame, all of which testified to the ex- cellent work which had been done by Ward during the three or four years which he had been resident among them.—Capital songs were rendered during the evening by several gentle- men present, the nature of which were both comic and patriotic. At the close of the pro- ceedings, the health of Mr and Mrs Ward was heartily drank to Should old acquaintance be forgot," and a very successful smoker came to a close by all wishing Mr Ward God speed in his new sphere of labour.

FRIDAY. Before Colonel THORN LEY and Alderman J. C. MEGGITT. WAlt AT HOME. Susannah Smith is the sister of Sidney Smith. Both are residents of Burry Dock, and live under the same roof. On the 19th inst the peaceful abode was disturbed by Sidney, who was heated by "fire-water," the evaporation of which was accompanied by a desire to smack his sister in the face. Susannah only wanted peace and quietness, and the magistrates thereupon tried the solution of binding the brother over in the sum of flO to be of good behaviour towards all Her Majesty's sub. jeots for a period of six months. LET LOOSE THE DOGS. There was a good crop of unmuzzled proseou tions. Hannah Evans, a Cadox'on resident, has a dog which has a penchant for slipping out through the doorway when anyone calls. This trick cost 5s. There was a double-barrelled offence against J. Jouker of keeping a dog without a licence and also allowing the unlicensed brute to stray abroad ou the highway without a muzzle. The two things- together caused the payment of 12a 6d as a fine. Then came the following up to the dock, who went away the poorer for their experience, viz., William Hinde, Thomas James, William Griffiths, J. Leben, Mrs Ellis, Evan Blake, John John, Robert Thomas, and Thomas Watts. BREAD OTHER THAN BY WEIGHT. Thomas Davies, baker, Barry-road, was fined 5. for being fouiid selling bread other than by weight, and Robert Hamilton, another tradtsman, "a ordered to pay a similar amount, Police-coustable Herbert Evans proving both casM. A MUSIC CRITIC AS CONSTABLE. Three youths named Butler. Burbidge, and Quin were summoned for t wo ofie ces of disorderly conduct in the street. Po-ice-c< nstable Hawkins baid the defendants were in the doorway of a shop in Birry-road Idancing and singing, and afterwards they did the same thing in the roadway. When the constable spoke to them they refused 10 desist, and walked up and down the road. -B,itler (to witness): What comic songs were we w istling ? They were comic airs.—What were they ? They were comic.—They may have been sentimental? I can tell the difference between comic and senti- mental songs any time.—The Bench ultimately dismissed both cases with a caution. THE PRIDE OF THE COUNTRY. Benjamin Summers surrendered to the common charge of being drunk and disorderly, the tesult of his being ejected from the Bassett Arms Hotel, Holton-road, on the night of the 17th ult. Defen- dant acted as his own lawyer, sharply cross- examined the prosecuting constable, but was eventually fined 5s.-Henry Opits suffered to the extent of 2s 6d 00 the same charge Thomas Jones, 5s R. Bernard, 7s; Jenkin Evans, 7p. 6d; R. Bessant, 2s 6d John Hurley, 2s 6d Michael Gordon, 2s 6d John Dongal, 7s 6d; Michael O'Brien, 7s 6d William Evans, 2:1 6d; and Elizabeth Mote, 5s.—A married woman named Stowell made her appearance before the Bench for the 15th time, and was now sent to prison for 14 days, not being able to meet a 10s fine, the Bench remarking that the local hotels should be looked after a bit more by the police, as people seemed to be filled with drink and then thrown out of doors.

BURNING ACCIDENT AT BARRY DOCK. THE INQUEST. Mr E. B. Reece, the district coroner, held an inquest on Friday morning last at the Central Police-station, Barry Dock, touching the death of Ellen Price, aged 55, which took place on the 26th ult, from injuries she sustained by falling with a lighted lamp on the 14th ult. Deceased had died at the Voluntary Hospital, Barry Dock, whither she had been removed. Mr Evan Jones was fore- man of the jury. It was ascertained during the hearing that the husband of the deceased, who is a mason, and lived with his wife at 142, Mertbyr- street, Barry Dock, was drunk at the time of the accident, and Edward Twigdon, who was the first to render aid to the woman, said that when he saw her the flames were about her mouth.—Dr Livingstone deposed that he attended the woman, both at the time of the accident and when she died. When he first attended her she presented a horrible picture, being simply charred. He was of opinion that she was not drunk at the time, al- though the same could not be said of the husband. Deceased died from injuries received on the night of the fire.-The jury returned a verdict of Acci- dental death," and complimented Twigdon on his prompt behaviour on the occasion.

GLAMORGAN MAIDS AT LONDON DAIRY SHOW. LOCAL CONTESTANTS SUCCESSFUL. Miss Janet James, formerly of Whitton Rossar, in the parish of Llancarfan, succeeded in winning a first prize at the London Dairy Show last week, and also succeeded in securing the second prize in the butter exhibit. It appears that after a person wins a first prize in the butter maki g contest in this show, they are debarred from competing for any further money prizes for thiee yeais, but the Socieu offers meaals, and the Lord Mayor a cup as the championship trophy, for which only the first prize winners are allowed to compete. There- fore, e ch yt.ar witnesses the first prize winners of four pars competing for championship honours, the competitors generally numbering over 30. It is gratifying to learn that, although Miss James did not succeed in carrying of the Lord Mayor's Cup, she succeeded in coming third, a performance upon which she is to be highly congratulated. Miss Jane Loughor, of Sheepcourt, Bonvilstone, also succeeded in winning a second prize, and Miss Mary Loughor, a sister of the afore-mentioned, was highly commended.

THE ROYAL WELSH LADIES' CHOIR. The visit of the Royal Welsh Ladies' Cheir to the Cadoxton Hall is looked forward to with keea relish by all who enjoy vocal music of a high-class order. We learn that several artistes will make their first appearance in this town next Wednes- day, of whom Madame Clara Novello Davies expects great things. A few reserved seats may still be obtained at the various places mentioned on the bills.
