Further business disposod of, a very important, encouraging, and well-attended session was brought to a close. WELSH METHODISTS.—On Sunday next a meeting will be held in connection with the opening of the Welsh Methodist Chapel, Barry Dock, when sermons will be preached by the Revs. J. H. Jones (Llan- samlet), T. Edwards (Llansamlet), and W. Daniels (Penmark). CADOXTOX EISTEDDFOD.—There is every indica- tion that the Eisteddfod to be held at the Market-hall, Cadoxton, on August Bank Holiday, will be a splendid success. The Eisteddfod will commence at 10 a.m.. not at 11 o'clock, as previously announced. The competition on the chief piece will take place in the morning, so that all choirs who wish to do so may be able to go to Porth and Aberdare Junction to com- pete in those places by two o'clock. The committee has also decided to raise the chief prize to £20, with an Oak Chair to the successful conductor. IS YOUR WATCH WRONG?

Hettick, 60, Queen-street, Cardiff. [301 BARRY DOCK. TRADES' COUNCIL.—The fortnightly meeting of the District Trades' Council was held on Friday night last at the Victoria Hotel, Barry Dock. In the absence of the president (Mr. Copp) the chair was occupied by Mr. Rees. A year and a few weeks ago the preliminary meetings were held. at one of which representatives from the Cardiff Council—Councillor Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins Jones, and Mr. John Richards (secretary of the Cardiff Council)—addressed the meetings, and did all they could to assist in the 4 formation of the Council. The Council was success- fully formed May 15th. It then consisted of 15 societies or branches of societies, and by the end of the year the Council --had increased to 16 with the Smith's and Hammerer's Society. The Council numbered 1,400. Directly they got things in working order they started operations. They commenced with the Local Board concerning the fair contract laws and fair wages system, and on the 6th October the Local Board passed resolutions practically granting all the Council asked. They ,then approached the School Board with the result that the Board readily granted all that was asked of them. The next event of importance to the Trades' Council was the Burial Board election, and the Trades' Council secured fdur scats on that Board. The Coun- cil took a very active part in the painters' strike that shortly after ensued, and endeavoured to bring the strike to a satisfactory ending both by public meetings and private deputations to the local painters' associa- tions, and all but two agreed to the men's terms. The Council had been successful in having had placed in the three public reading-rooms the Workmen s Timet. Their efforts to place their candidate, Mr. Harrison. on the Local Board at the election failed. The only society which had withdrawn from the Council was the Amalgamated Society of Engineers, on the plea that their society was not adequately represented. It iB hoped, however, that the Engineers' Society will see their way clear to reioin the Council at an early date. BARRY DISTRICT TEMPERANCE COUNCIL.—A meeting of the Barry District Temperance Council was held on Friday evening, the 17th inst., at the Bible Christian Chapel. The Rev. J. Honey presided. Amongst those present were the Revs. W. Williams AND T. Evans; Messrs W. E. Davies (Chief Templar, Cadoxton Lodge). J. D. Davies (sec., Welsh Temperance Association). Alfred Westacott, A. G, Collins Mr. and Mrs. Rutter, Miss liope (Barry DOCK), Mrs. Inglis (President of the British Women's Temperance Association), MESSTS. Robbins, T. Thomas, J. Cruise, R. Lavis, Thomas Pearce, Fred Richards, &c. There were present about 30, who represented the different temperance organisations in the district. It was decided that the committee should draw up and print rules, which will be finally adopted at the next meeting. The following executive and officers were then unanimously chosen:—President, Mr. John Cory vice-presidents, Rev. Canon Allen, Messrs. Lewis Williams, J. H. Stowell, W. Williams, J. Lloyd, and Dr. Lloyd Edwards, and Mrs. Inglis treasurer, Mr. G. Rutter, Barry secretary, Pastor L. Ton Evans executive: Cadoxton, Messrs. W. E. Davies, James Cruise. Thomas Thomas, J. H. Edwards, and C. J. Flowers; Barry Dock, Messrs. Alfred Westacott, Richard Lavia, J. D. Davies, and Rev. J. Honey Barry, Mr John Davies (Congregational), Mrs. Rutter, Mr. Taylor, Mr, Robbins, and Miss Hope. The next meeting will be held to-day (Friday) at 7.3d p.m., when it is hoped representatives will kindly attend. The Bands of Hope and other temperance societies not already represented will please appoint at once two delegates to represent them at this meeting. BANKING ENTERPRISE AT BARRY DOCK—The authorities of the National Provincial Bank of Eng- J^nd have caused to be erected opposite the central entrance of the Barry Dock commodious and handsome banking premises. The erection of the building was necessitated by the company's rapidly increasing busi- ness, and the Bank is not only an ornament to the town but a great convenience. The outside is built of grey Bath stone. The banking-room, the first room entered by the visitor, is a fine lofty apartment, 30 feet by 25. It is fitted up with counters, etc., of teak wood. The walls are painted with a newly-invented colouring suitable for freshly-built walls, called Duresco, of a very artistic light colouring, whilst the floor consists of a fine mosaic pavement in front of the counters, that behind being made of blocks of wood. The room is heated by one of Shortland's patent improved Manchester stoves, which, by an ingenious arrangement, acts as a ventilator and heating apparatus combined. The room is lighted by three fine square windows. Oppo- site the windows stands the iron door leading into the strong room. Bill Sykes would be useless against that door but if it were possible for him to open it, he would find his labours of no avail, as another iron door has to be opened before the strong room can be entered. As may be imagined, the Company have taken every precaution to preserve their documents and the valuables deposited with them, not only from thieves but also from fire. The safes are manufac- tured by Chubb; the walls and roof are built of fire- proof terra-cotta bricks; and the floor is one of concrete and iron. Just by the banking room is the consulting room, fitted with teak appointments the same as the banking room. The staireiise leading to the offices upstairs is made of stone, and, on being mounted, a series of offices a.re entered through a small lobby. The front windows command fine views of the Dock which lies immediately below. The offices are large and commodious, and the floors are here again of blocked wood. Handsomely carved mantelpieces with the initials of the company arc fixed in each of the rooms, and altogether the suite of offices are most suitable for the needs of the bank. The lavatories are supplied with Daulton fittings, and the sanitary arrangements are perfect. The living rooms of the caretakers are situated on the top floor, above the offices. Wherever possible iron and steel have been used, to lessen the possibility of the building being burnt down, and the company have not spared any expense in any way. The building has, as we have said, been erected at the central entrance to the Dock, a position which will enable the company to do good business with the Dock, and. with the town also. The bank has been erected by Messrs. W. Brock and Sons from plans prepared by Mr. C. R. Gribble, Russell-square, London. NEW RESTAURANT.—As will be seen on reference to our advertisement columns, Mr. Harry has just opened a restaurant and hotel clO"3 to the Barry Dock and Railway Station. No expense has been spared in fitting up the restaurant in an elegant manner. The cnisin is good and the charges very moderate. The nearness of the hotel and restaurant to the station is a great convenience to travellers, who can always rely on receiving courteous attention at the hands of the attendants. WELSH TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.—A meeting of the above society was held at the Welsh Independent Chapel, Barry Dock, on Tuesday evening, 28th ult. The Rev. W. G. Williams presided. Addresses were given by the Rev. J. Moms. Star-street, Cardiff Mr. John Lewis. Cadoxton and Mr. John Phillips, Barry. Master W. Lewis, Cadoxton, gave a very interesting recitation, and the Band of Hope Choir, under the leadership of Mr. D. Levis, rendered someiagreeable music. At the close of the meeting 21 persons signed the pledge. NARROW ESCAPE. — On Monday afternoon, a woman named Thompson, residing at Fryatt-street, had a very narrow escape from meeting with a serious injury. A man, named Lock, in the employ of R. P. Culley and Co., of the Barry Dock Hotel, was pro- ceeding down Thompson-street to the Barry Dock Hotel Bottling Stores in a trap. He noticed three women ahead of him, and as he neared them they appeared to be getting out of his way. Just as he was passing them, however, Mrs. Thompson somehow managed to fall alongside the horse, which reared, and the trap, which was heavily laden with bottled beers, passed over the woman's legs, near the knees. On examination it was found that no bones were broken, and the woman was taken home at once. Dr. Edwards saw the woman, who received a severe shock. LOSS OF A BARRY VESSEL.—A Lisbon telegram states that the British steamer Dacia, of Whitby, from Barry for Port Said, struck on a rock off Cape St. Vincent, and was abandoned in a sinking condition. All on board saved.—Lloyd's. BAKERS' CONFERENCE AT CARDIFF. — A great meeting of the National Association of Master Bakers was held last week at Cardiff, when bread from all countries was exhibited. Ireland won the first prize, and the greatness of the competition may be gathered from the fact that pome of the bread took over a fortnight to reach Cardiff. The only exhibitor of plain and fancy bread, French rolls, Ac., from this district wu; the well-known Barry Dock baker, Mr. James PriAdvt. 'r CADOXTON. THE CADOXTON RECREATION-ROOM COMMITTEE held a meeting at the Rooms on Tuesday evening, the 28th June, Mr. Meggitt in the chair, at which it was decided to wind up affairs. Dr. O'DoniKlI kindly undertook to dispose of the billiard table at not less than £40, and Mr. Rees Williams the furniture of the Rooms for about £12. Mr. Meggitt will hold himself responsible for the rent. The meeting- was a small one, only a few members attending. PERFECT THRIFT SOCIETY.—The sixth public ballot in connection with the Cardiff-Barry and District Perfect Thrift Society was held at the Cadoxton Public Hall, on Thursday, June 23rd. Mr. J. Rees, Iddesleigh- street, in the chair. Amongst the gentlemen present were Messrs Carslake, Ward, Llewellyn Williams, J. R. Llewellyn, D. Edwards, Harrison, Hunt, etc. The number drawn was 148 being that of Mr. R. Bissalt, 18, Ryder-street, Cardiff. TWO CADOXTON CA^ES.—At the Glamorganshire Quarter Sessions, held this week at Cardiff, Thomas Carr, a young man, pleaded guilty to maliciously wounding Sarah Millward at Cadoxton on the 31st of May. Mr. Lloyd Morgan appeared for the prosecu- tion. Previous convictions having been proved, prisoner was sentenced to six months' hard labour.— John Evans, 48, carpenter, indicted for stealing a quantity of clothes and a tin-plate from the dwelling- house of Maria Mooney, the property of William Allen, at Cadoxton-juxta-Barry, was found not guilty, and was accordingly discharged. ENGLISH WESLEYAN SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNI- VERSARY—Last Sunday two sermons were preached in the Market Hall, Cadoxton, (kindly lent for the occasion by Mr. Lewis Lewis), by Mr. Dawson of Penarth, owing to the unavoidable absence of the Rev. G. Payn through sickness. In the afternoon an address was given by the Rev. J. Honey, of Barry Dock. Duiing the day Anthems, Choruses, Hymns, Recitations, and Dialogues were rendered by the choir and scholars in a very able manner reflecting great credit upon themselves and their leader, Mr. John Davies. In the evening a solo was rendered by Mr. Proud, of the Blue Ribbon Choir, auda quartett," God is a Spirit," by Messrs. Lewis and Smith and Misses Smith and Wensley. Mr. J. E. Wensley presided at the organ, Mr. Lewis (headmaster Cogan Board School) piano, Mr. Evans, bass fiddle, Mr. Miles 'cello, and Mr. De la Hay, violin, and all fulfilled their duties in a very efficient manner. The collection for the day amounted tojElO. THAT tired feeling that troubles you so often indicates a disordered Liver and may lead to very painful symptoms, such has depressed spirits, or con- firmed melancholy. Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters by removing the cause soon banishes the symptoms, and revives the spirits. See add. page. [3 PENARTH. TORY MEETING. — On Wednesday night Sir Morgan addressed a meeting of electors, but an adverse vote was carried at the end of the meeting. Mr. Lascelles Carr appealed for the suffrages of the Nonconformists by reviling their ministers. ST. ATHAN. A MEETING to promote the candidature of Mr. A J. Williams, the Liberal candidate for this Division, was held in the Methodist Chapel on Saturday even- ing last. There was a large attendance of voters, amongst those present we noticed—Messrs. Williams, Castleton Edwards, Aberthaw Hopkins, Gilestone D. Lougher. St. Athan Doone, St. Athan Morgans, Colhugh Villa: D. Evans and E. W. Miles, Cow- bridge; Chatterton, Andrews, Davies, Wm. Baldwin, E. George, and William Deere, Llantwit: T. Price, Hoverton; &c., <fcc. Mr. T. Morgan was voted to the chair, and apologised for the absence of Mr. Williams, who was detained at Rhoose to address a meeting of his constituents, and called upon Mr. Evans to propose the first resolution, one of confidence in the Liberal leaders, which he did in a vigorous speech, which was seconded by Mr. Miles. During Mr. Miles' speech Mr. Williams arrived, and was received with great enthusiasm. Mr. Williams in supporting the resolution dwelt upon the work done by the Welsh members in the late Parliament, and appealed to the electors to settle once for all the Irish question, so that the way should be clear for the settlement of the Church Question in Wales, the Land Ques- tion, Local Government, One Man One Vote, and the other numerous questions which were awaiting decision, and concluded a forcible speech by impressing on every elector his duty to record his vote, and not to be over-confident, and thus let the majority fall small, and thus encourage future useless opposition. Mr. Morgan, Colhugh Villa. movecU vote of confidence m )11', WI-liuiiis, wliich was seconded by Mr. Thomas Thomas and supported by Mr. Wm. Hopkins. After Mr. Hopkin's speech, a working man (Mr. David Jenkins) rose in the body of the room and said he could not let the vote be put to the meeting without saying a few words in favour of Mr. Williams and contrasting him with his opponent.. He gave a humorous description of the way the Conservatives try to win votes at the Primrose League meetings. The vote was carried with one dissentient, a vote of thanks to the chairman bringing a very successful meeting to a close. NURSTON. ENTERTAINMENT.—Thursday evening.

LLANCARFAN. SUNDAY SCHOOL TREAT.—On Thursday of last week the Sunday School in connection with the Wesleyan Chapel took their annual outing to the sea- side. The Leys as usual was the selected place, and despite the inclemency of the weather, which un- doubtedly damped the ardour of a few, and disappoin- ted others, a large number of scholars and friends assembled at the rendezvous in order to join the merry party. Messrs. Hopkiins, Moulton, Lougher (Llan- vithin), and Jones (Llancarfan), generously put their horses and conveyances at the service of the Sunday- school. During the journey down the children, in order to beguile away the time, sang lustily some of Sankey's hymns and a few of their Day-school songs. The Leys was reached about two p.m. The company at once dispersed, all on pleasure bent some bathing, others shell-seeking, and a few indulged themselves in crab-hunting, while a considerable number of isolated couples could be seen here and there wending their way, shyly if not slyly, along the beach love-making presumably; but all as it were, harmonising beauti-' fully with the music of the in-coming tide, which is always grandly and majestically accompanied by the roar of the waves on Breaksea Point. About four o'clock about 150 or 200 sat down to a substantial tea prepared at the Ship Hotel. The following ladies and gentlemen were most assiduous in their attention on scholars and friends alike, viz.:—Mr. W. Griffiths, Miss Evans, Mr., Mrs., and the Misses Lougher, Garn- llwyd, Mr. and Miss Lougher Llanvithyn, Mr. Hopkins, Moulton, Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Liscombe, Mrs. W. Lougher, Llancarfan, Miss Morgans, Llan- trithyd, Misses Lougher, Sheepcourt, Misses Morgan, Brynwell. and Miss Jervis, Welsh St. Donats. About eight o'clock a start was made for home, all having thoroughly enjoyed the days outing.
