Mr. John Lowdon presided, there being present, Mr. John Davies, Mr. Blackmore, Alderman Meggitt, Mr. D. A. Roberts, and the hon. sec. (Mr. J. A. Hughes).—The minutes of the last meeting having been confirmed and signed, the com- mittee proceeded to the consideration of the subscrip- tion list.-The Secretary stated that the whole of the contributions paid into the bank amounted to £ 477 8s. 6d.—He had received a letter from Mr. John Cory, which stated that at the time he promised f250 he was under the impression that they had to raise £2,000, but now that they had only to raise .£600, he thought he would meet his promise by sub- scribing £ 125, for which he enclosed a cheque.—Mr. Lewis had promised £ 20, and he now wrote to say that he had done so on behalf of the executors of the late Mr. E vans' estate, and when they let him have the money he would forward it. Mr. Lewis Lewis wrote with reference to the JE17 which he promised that he and Dr. O'Donnell would gather. Dr. O'Donnell had withdrawn his subscription of £10, and as Mr. Lewj^ was not sure that they would be able to get all that had promised, he (the secretary) thought they would not get more than 13 or £ 4 from Mr. Lewis. Mr. Jewel Williams had promised £ 10, but he had since withdrawn his promise as the committee had not bought a site in which he was interested. The site referred to comprised two acres, for one of which a charge of X800 was made, and the other acre given free. They had, however, decided to buy a site of two acres for which they were only charged .£600. Several other subscriptions that had been promised had not been paid, but they were in most cases pretty sure of getting them. Alto- gether about £ 500 would be obtained, and they would require in all about £ 150 more to purchase the land and cover expenses. The bank would not object to advancing money needed.—The Secretary also said a great many gentlemen in the district bad not given or promised anything, and a list of names was made out, and the several members promised to see them.—This was all the business to transact, and it was decided that another meeting should be held on Friday, 16th I.O.G.T.—STAR OF BARRY LODGE.—An open service of the above lodge was held in the Sea-view Restaurant, Barry, on Tuesday week last. Bro. Rev. Christmas Lewis occupied the chair. After a very able and interesting address by the Chairman, tbe following programme was gone through in a most satisfactory manner :—Song. Bro. W. E.

SCIENCE AND ART COMMITTEE.—The monthly meeting of the Barry and Cadoxton Science and Art Committee was held on Wednesday evening at the Board School, East Barry, Mr. J. Lowdon (chair- man) presiding. There were also present Messrs. F. W. Flowers, D. Roberts, H. Inch, W. J. BendaU, J. O. Davies, and E. F. Blackmore.-A number of letters were read from the Science and Art Department with reference to the working of the various classes at Holton-road School, and it was re- ported that appliances for illustration of science sub- jects taught had been supplied through the instru- mentality of Mr. Walter Hogg, the organiser of the county,and others were in the course of construction for the county authorities and would be supplied to the local committee as soon as ready.-It was reported that the Ven. Archdeacon Bruce, Councillors Oliver H. Jones and W. B. Shepherd has been appointed by the County Council additional members of the Barry Committee.—Mr. J. O.

On !the same occasion Mr. J. O. Davies, the late secretary, will be the recipient of a large number of books as a testimonial of goodwill and appreciation from the committee. CONCERT.—On Wednesday next a concert,will be given at the Congregational Church, the proceeds of which will be used to provide prizes for the scholars. As this is a very deserving object, and we hope there will. be large attendance. The parents especially should show their appreciation of the labours of the teachers by turning up in large numbers. A splendid programme is being arranged, and amongst the per- formers will be Miss Annie Jones, R.A.M. (harp), Mrs. Janet Price, Miss Agatha Cornish, Mr. E. W. Waite, Mr. F. Griffiths, &c. WESLBYAN BAND OF HOPE.—On Saturday .even- ing last the second of series of entertainments con- nected with the- Wesleyan Hand of Hope took place.The building was crowded with interested friends, and we may state that the conductors of the Band of Hope appreciate very much the support of the parents and friends in thus showing their ap- preciation of the work of workers. Mr. J. J. Moon presided, and he was supported by the Rev. Graham Payn, Mr. Ralph (superintendent of the Band of Hope), James Radcliffe (the energetic secretary), Mr. Amor.—The Chairman having given a characteristically humorous speech, a good musical programme was gone through.—The Rev. Graham Payn next delivered a short temperance address, strongly impressing the need of total abstinence on all present. He was pleased to see that the children had acquitted themselves so well, and he hoped that the series of meetings would be as well attended. The Band of Hope, as we stated a short time since, is in a very flourishing condition, and numbers 120 members, which speaks well for the cxertions of the band of workers. In the course of a week or so the members of the Bznd of Hope will partake of a tea and magic lantern entertainment.—Mr. Amor efficiently con- ducted the singing on Saturday night, Miss Roberts accompanying on the piano and Miss Parry on the harmonium. The following was the programme:- Hymn, Band of Hope children pianoforte solo, Miss Roberts; recitation, The Band of Hope Lifeboat," Master F. Garrett; solo, Miss A. Clemence; recita- tion.

ACCIDENT TO MR. SMALL.—On Tuesday morning Mr. Frank Small, the contractor for the new Cemetery Chapel at Merthyrdovan, met with a serious accident. Mr. Small went to the chapel in course of erection to supervise the work, and whilst stepping back to look at the building his foot came in contact with one of tha grave-markers. The marker slipped, and Mr. Small fell with his leg under him, spraining his ankle, and breaking the small bone of his leg. Mr. Small was at once taken to his residence at Barry, where he was medically treated by Dr. Prosser Evans, of Cadoxton (Dr. Neale's new assistant), who, on examination, found that besides spraining his ankle Mr. Small had fractured the fibula of his leg. Mr. Small, we are glad to liaar, is progressing as favourably as can be expeo ,ed. PARTNERSHIP DISSOLVED. — Tuesday night's Lon ion Gazette contains a notice that Richard Pitt and John Wyatt, trading as Pitt and Wyatt, at Newport and Barry, builders and contractors, have dissolved partnership. R. Pitt retires. VOLUNTARY WINDING UP.-The London Gazette of Tuesday states that at an extraordinary general meeting of the members of the Park Building Com- pany (Limited), recently held at Cardiff, it was re- Mlved that the company be wound up voluntarily. Mr. J. E. Gunn, of Westgate-chambers, Cardiff, was appointed liquidator for the purpose of winding up. PRESBYTERIAN BAZAAR.—We understand that, in conjunction with the Presbyterian bazaar to be held at Barry on the 14th and 15th inst., the Barry String Band have consented to perform each evening, and have prepared a most attractive programme, which in itself will be a rare treat. At the same time, we might mention t!iat Bonn's World Diorama will be on view, and will, no doubt, prove on this occasion, as in the past, tlv; attraction of the bazaar. Amongst the other attractions will be a museum of curios and fina art exhibits, in charge of Captain Morris Jones and Mr. Harry Inch. This interesting collection will in- clude some things from the Holy Land. A dwarf show, exhibited by the Misses Morgan, is a novel and genuine wonder. With such an array of attractions, there should be no lack of visitors. Colds and coughs are prevalent at this season of the year. Fortify your constitution against their attacks by a timely use of Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters. It is far better than any alcoholic stimulant to keep out the cold."
