LLANDYFODWG SCHOOL BOARD. c An ordinary meeting of the Llandyfodwg School Board was held in the Nantymoel Board School on Wednesday afternoon, Mr. D. Evans, presiding. The others present were Messrs. J. Abel, E. Griffith, Lewis Griffiths, E. Jones, D. Vaughan (clerk). MISCELLANEOUS. L. The Clerk reported that he had received £ 2 2s f as Drawing Grant from Craigrhiwglyn School. The drawing- grant of Glynogwr was 195., and from s Gilfach Goch School £3 9s. He had not yet re- v ceived the drawing grant from Nantymoel Schools. He had that day received jES9 2s. Od". from fees at Gilfach Goch. Glynogwr, and Nantymoel Schools. He did not know how it was that he had not re- ceived the fees for the Craigrhiwglyn School. SUPERANNUATION OF TEACHERS. The Clerk reported that he had received a letter from the National Union of teachers enclosing a petition to the Prime Minister asking him to establish a scheme for the superannuation of teachers in public elementary schools. The Board was asked to sign the petition if they ap- proved of it.-It was decided to defer the considera- tion of the matter until the next meeting.—On the motion of Mr. Able. seconded by Mr. Jones, it was resolved to advertise for an assistant mistress at Craigrhiwglyn Board School at £ 40 per annum, to take charge of the sewing as well. CRAIGRHIWGLYN BOARD SCHOOL. MIXED SCHOOL. The results of the examination are not quite so good in some respects as they were last year. The arithmetic of the middle portion of the school is not strong, and the working of problems is still a weak point. The mental arithmetic of most of the -classes is only fair. A better acquaintance with the matter of the reading books is desirable. There were, however, some-very creditable points in the work. The arithmetic of the second and sixth standards, the spelling of the three highest classes, and the recitation generally deserved praise. The grammar, too, except in the second standard, was creditable. The geography is unequal, and it is with hesitation—allowance being made for illness amongst the teachers—that the higher grant is recommended for it. The needlework is very fair. The appointment of an assistant to take charge of this branch of instruction seems desirable. The singing from note was excellent, and the musical drill deserves praise. INFANTS SCHOOL. The school has been in charge of the present mistress since October, and seems likely to do well under her care. There are signs of improve- ment in several of the branches of instruc- tion. The parts of the work to which particular attention should be paid dur- -ing the coming year are the mental arithmetic and tables generally, the handwriting of the second class, and the singing by note. The .needlework was good as far as it went, but quicker work should be encouraged. There is still some irregular answering in the third class. Small tables for use in the Kindergarten occupations are wanted. EVENING SCHOOL. The scholars acquitted themselves well at the examination. Only one attendance can be made at each meeting. The total grant earned is .:£129 16s. GLYNOGWR SCHOOL. The school has passed a very fair examination. On the whole, more attention should be devoted to the meaning of what is read and recited, and to mental arithmetic. The grant for music by note -cannot be recommended, the tests in the two lower divisions being unsatisfactorily performed. Geography has been taken up for the first time this year with some success, and grammar is good except in the third and fourth standards. The needlework deserves high praise. The total grant earned is £ 57. °

THE DIN AS POWIS HIGHWAY BOARD. + The monthly meeting of the above Board was held on Wednesday morning. Major-General Lee presided, and there were also present Mr. Tudor Crawshay. J.P., Mr. D. T. Alexander. St. Andrew's Mr. Wm. Evans. Pendovlan Mr. T. Thomas, Llan- trithyd Mr. Oliver Williams. St. Lythan's Mr. Oliver Thomas. Wenvoe; Mr.,Daniel Lougher. St. Nicholas and Mr. William Lougher, Llantrithyd the Surveyor (Mr. Laurens). and the Clerk (Mr. Morris). The minutes of the last meeting were read. con- firmed, and signed by the Chairman. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The Surveyor read his report, which was as follows :— I have prepared an estimate for making a foot- path leading from the mill at Dinas Powis to the village. It is as follows :— Laying 160 yards 9 in. pipes at Is. tkl. U2 0 0 Filling of old trench 4 0 0 Gravel "footpath 4 0 0 In accordance with instructions received at your last meeting I caused to be taken down the fencing erected at Dinas Powis by Mr. Robert Harry, which was an encroachment upon the highway. This was done on Tuesday July 12th, 1892. I have tested the Postern Bridge to an extent of 11} tons a.nd I -would recommend that notice boards be erected on each side of the bridge, stating that loading passing over it should not exceed 10 tons The pound at St. Nicholas is in need of repairs. The -probable cost would be about £ 15 10s. This vvw&ld be for building the walls all round 8 feet high, and for a gateway and for a pair of gates 7 feet wide. A foot-bridge is required over the Wrinstone Brook, between Bonville Farm and Wrinstone Farm. The present bridge is in a danger- ous state. The new bridge would probably cost £ 7 lOs. A culvert is required near the Greendown Farm. Bonvilstone. The culvert would be 25ft. Ion? and 3ft. wide inside, with an arched top. and two end walls. The roadway would require rising, so as to allow an easy grade:over the culvert, and cl 60 cuoic yards of materials would be necessary for this purpose. The brook would be deepened to an extent of 50 yards from the culvert in the orchard adjoining the W roadway. The cost of this work I estimate at about £ 15. A wall belonging to you near Whitmell Farm. Bonvilstone, requires re- pairing. Tiie coping for many yards has been pushed off and thrown into the brook. Stones are wanted for the repair of the highway at Porth- kerry. Money was given to your surveyor last year for this purpose, and as there is no contractor for this parish, the matter remained open. One of your workmen on the main road has not been paid the C4 due to him. He has applied to me for the money. I ask for a 'cheque for 445 to meet current expenses. The following cheques are also required Messrs. J. Sessions and Son. e2 14s. Messrs. Dando and Sons, £ 2 5s. Mr. Rees. Dinas Powis, £ 3 lls. 9d. total, £ 9 17s. 9d. The follow- ing cheques are required in connection with the various contracts for the repairs and maintenance of the highways within your district :—Mr. Edmond Lewis. Eastbrook, £ 15 Mr. Jacob Ridout, Sully, £ 6 Mr. Rees John. Wenvoe, t20 Mr. W. Davies, Llancarfan. X 10 Mr. James Smith, Penmark, £ 10 total. £ G 1. I The Clerk mentioned that a writ had been served on the Highway Board by Mr. Thomas Jones Davies, one of the Board's contractors, for a sum of money, and asked for the directions as to what steps he should take in the matter.—Mr. D. T. Alexander moved that the Board defend the action.—Mr. Alexander also moved that with regard to the road (about which the dispute arose) that they should not take it over, but let it remain in the present position until the proper person had done the work, and that an arbitrator be appointed. THE POSTTARN BRIDGE. The Chairman said that in company with Mr. Laurens he was present when this bridge was tested, and two heavily laden waggons passed over. The bridge was more than equal to the steam of the weight, and he moved that the Sur- veyor's recommendation be adopted.—This was agreed to. cl MISCELLANEOUS. With regard to the pound at St. Nicholas, the Chairman objected to the repairing being done at the cost of the Board, as it belonged to a private individual, and after a discussion it was left for the owner to see to the matter.—Mr. Lougher pro- posed that the new culvert recommended by the surveyor near the Greendown Farm. Bonvilstone, be made, the cost not to exceed the surveyor's estimate of £15. It was decided that the coping of the wall referred to in the surveyor's report should be seen to.—The Surveyor reported that the workmen referred to in his report had been paid.—Cheques were signed by the Chairman for the necessary establishment expenses, the total amount asked for by the surveyor being nearly £ 150 and cheques granted for bills sent in by the Wenvoe Estate. £19 13s. 2d.; and Messrs. Meggitt and Jones for Xi IGS. lid. (provisionally upon the Surveyor's approval. The construction of a new footpath between the Mill and village at Dinas Powis was deferred for a time.—The Board de- cided that a new bridge should be erected over the Wrinstone Brook, the cost not to exceed the Sur- veyor's estimate, £ 7 10s. THE WIDENING OF THE WENVOE PARISH ROAD. Tenders were opened from the contractors tendering for the proposed re-making and widen- ing of the parish road from the School to the Railway Station at Wenvoe as follows For widening the road to 20ft.. Mr. F. Scott, L457 H,¡. 4d.; Edmond Lewis, £ 555 9s. 2d. W. Richards £ 885 19s. 10d.; Baker and Gregory, £686 15s.; 4:596 ls., Evan Poole. £ 596 Is.; David Love, -4880; William Rees, £ 529 15s. 9d. Jenkins and Arnold. £ 586 10s.; E. J. Ince..€551 Jenkin Brock, £H5ï 2s. 6d.; J. Strong, £646 Batehelor and Stunders, zC480 W. Jones, £ 885; Charles Gwatkin, £ 508 14s. 7d.—Mr! Alexander, who opened the tenders, announced that there were supplementary tenders for reduced quantities for 15ft. and 10ft. width road. Mr. Scott's supplementary tender was-Lift., £ 390 9s. and loft.. £337 5s. 10d.; Mr. Rees, 15ft., £ 483 3s. lid. 10ft., .£444 3s. Id. Mr. Ince, 15ft., £ 4fi5 10s. 6d., and 10ft., £39ï 2s. 6d.; and Messrs Batchelor and Saunders, 15ft., t- 423 6s. Rd., and 10ft., £377 13s. 8d. The surveyor's estimate was 4600. Mr. Scott's tender was found to be the lowest.—A discussion took place on the tenders, and Mr. Williams proposed that Major- General Lee. Mr. O. H. Jones, and Mr. D. T. Alexander be asked to inquire intoi the securities of Mr. Scott, and, if they were found to be satisfactory, the contract should be given to him.—This was was agreed to. It was decided that the tender for the 10ft. road be accepted, the Board reserving the right to have the road widened if their funds would permit. THE OUTSTANDING CALLS. Mr. Alexander commented strongly on the out- standing calls on several parishes, and it was de- cided to call the attention of the overseers of the parishes behind to the matter.—Mr. Williams said that no doubt it was owing to the haymaking that the calls were not paid but Mr. Alexander differed from that opinion. BAD STATE OP A ROAD. Mr. Williams complained of the state of an extra parochial road, which was in a very bad state.- The Chairman said they could only summon the parish to repair it. THE LATE SURVEYOR. Mr. Alexander said he should like to ask Mr. Morris their present position with regard to their late surveyor.—The Clerk said the audit of the books would take place next week, and until that was done he could not say anything in the matter. The Chairman asked the condition of the agree- ment between the Barry Dock Company ancf the Board. They were still paying tolls.—Mr. Alex- ander said it would be a great advantage to the public if the tolls were abolished.-The Chairman said that although it was desirable it would require a lot of money to buy up the tolls.

ALLEGED ABDUCTION AT CARDIFF. At the Cardiff Borough Police-court on Wednes- day—before Dr. Paine. Alderman David Jones. and Mr. J. W. Vachell-Edward Davies (22) was brought up charged with abducting a girl named Rose Kimber, 15 years of age, on the 22nd ult. The mother of the prosecutrix produced the certi- ficate of her daughter's birth, and said that Rose had been keeping company with the prisoner. The evidence of the I prosecutrix was to the effect that she first met the prisoner in the Theatre Royal. She afterwards kept company with him, but did not let her mother know until about a twelvemonth ago. Early last month she heard that the police were on her track for "going'' with the prisoner, and told him that she would leave Cardiff. He offered to accompany her, and they both went to Barry. They stayed there two nights.—Sergt. Scott said that on Thursday evening, the 28th ult., he apprehended the prisoner, who said. She asked me to go with her to Barry Dock." He now plead' d that the prosecutrix insisted on following him about, even when at work; and when he wished to break off the engagement owing to the dissatisfaction of her mother, she replied, Oh, never mind my mother.He was committed on j this charge to take his trial at the Assize; at Swansea.

ST, NICHOLAS PETTY SESSIONS. WEDNESDAY.—Before Mr. Tudor Crawshay (in the chair) and General Lee.

Harris proved the case. ALLOWING A COW TO STRAY.—Septimus Noys was charged with allowing his cow to stray on the highway of St. Nicholas on the 26th .July.-Policllo constable Thomas Harris proved the case.—Defen- dant said the cow was put into the field on the day in question, and the children knocked down the gate and let the cow out.—As this was defendant's second offence, he was fined 10s. DRUXK WHILST IN CHARGE OF A Two- HORSE BREAK.—Thomas Alfred Denton, a respect- able-looking young man in service, was charged with being drunk whilst in charge on Sunday, the 24th July, at 8.45 p.m.—Police-constable Harris proved the case, and defendant pleaded guilty.- The Bench remarked that it was a bad thing to be drunk at all, and a great deal more so whilst in charge of horses, and he would be fined 10s. THE FINALE OF A RECENT TROTTING MATCH. -Horace Taylor, Main-street. Cadoxton. and Abel Gray, horse dealer, Weston-road, Cadoxton, were charged with furious driving at Wenvoe, on the 13th of last month.—Mr. Thomas Thomas, farmer, residing near the Rectory, Wenvoe, said there was a race on the 13th of July between the two defendants. It was about a quarter to four in the afternoon. They were driving on the Wenvoe-roadinear his house. There was a crowd on the road, and the children of the school came out just afterwards. It was very dangerous for the children. If anyone was coming in an opposite direction, they would have been run into by the defendants.—Defendants pleaded not guilty, and said they were not racing. The pace there were going at was only a smart trot.-The Bench fined defendants jEl each, or 10 days' imprisonment.

The missionary work in the Khassia Hills was begun 50 years ago, and out of a population of 200,000 inhabitants, 7,000 had become adherents of the body he himself represented. Great difficulty was experienced at first in making the converts understand the Scriptures, and an alphabet had to be constructed to suit the native language, which;had been so successful in its object that°many of the Khassias would now compare very favourably with the reading members of the body at home. It is probable Mr. Stephens will give another lecture at the same building in October next. A sum of about £ 20,000 was recently bequeathed to the above missionary fund by Mr. Robert Davies, of Bodlindeb Anglesea. BURIAL BOARD MEETING.—A special meeting of the Burial Board was held on Wednesday night last to consider an application from the caretaker of the Merthyrdovan Cemetery for a testimonial, as he is applying for a position of storekeeper at the Bridgend Asylum.

The play has been witness by very fair audiences. The company is a very good one, and Miss Doris Hamer, as Helen Larrell carried the sympathy of the audience with her, and the other members of the company, without exception acquitted themselves very well. New scenery end effects were used, and the representa- tion of a ship canal by moonlight was very realistic, a neat sheet of water being used.

LOCAL BOARD.—The adjourned meeting of the Public Works' Committee was held on Tuesday night at the Penarth Local Board Offices. Mr. T. Bevan presided. The Board approved and passed plans for the erection of St. David's Church, in Cogan, which was capable of accommodating 370 people. Plans for a temporary theatre, submitted by Mr. Horton, and to be erected in Cole's Yard, were also passed. The Taif Vale Railway had submitted plans for the extending and widening of the Windsor-road Bridge, and for lowering the present road. The Surveyor had been deputed to report upon the practicability and advisa- bility of the scheme, but recommended the Board not to accept the present plans. As the proposal of the Taff Vale Railway vitally affected the inhabitants of Penarth, it was proposed by Councillor Shepherd, seconded by Mr. Morgan, that the Surveyor acquaint the Taff Vale Railway of the Board's objecting to the present plans, and that a full Board meeting to fully discuss the matter be called next Friday. This was carried. The Board considered that the present bridge is dangerous and an eyesore, and reflected discredit upon their predecessors in office. SULLY. ECHO BOYS' OUTING.—The bovs who sell the South II ales Daily News and Echo were treated to a holiday on Sully Island on Bank Holiday, and during the day races were run for useful prizes, consisting of jackets, jerseys, boots, caps, etc. The weather b°ing all to be wished for the youngsters thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and returned to Cardiff in high glee. LLANCARFAN. SUNDAY SCHOOL TREAT.-On Wednesday of last week the Sunday Schools in connection with the Baptist Chapel took their annual trip to the seaside. The day proved beautifully fine for the occasion, and notwithstanding the busy season, especially among farmers, a good number of scholars and friends as- sembled at the rendezvous at 12.30, where wagons, ltC., kindly lent by Messrs. John Lidmoor Edwards (Pennon), and John (Ford Farm) were in waiting. The Leys were reached about two o'clock. After a short interval the company sat down to a substantial tea, prepared at the Ship Hotel.

About 8.30 a start was made for home, all having thoroughly enjoyed a capital day's outing.

The horse was a noble animal, and one of his favourites. (Cneers.)—Mr. David Rees, veterinary surgeon of the pits, responded. He attributed the excellent condition of the Ferndale Colliery horses to the precaution taken by the management of the worlp in securing adequate room or space for the animals to work, to the liberality of the company in sparing no exnense regarding the supply and the quality of the animals, and to the care- ful supervision by the master hauliers and the stable- men, and the system of training all fresh horses during the first few weeks after they had been lowered into the mines. Many underground horses were ruined owing to their being over-worked or not properly treated during the first s:x months of their existence lnn.. co/heries.—Mr. Bevan, head cashier of the collieries, in replying, stated that the financial success of the show greatly encouraged the committee, and the display of excellent colliery horses in next year's show would be still greater.—Dr. Parry, J.P., gave The Judges," and Mr. Jacob Ray, agent of the Ocean ,,?er?es' ^r- Thomas, manager of the Mardy Collieries; Mr. G.
