NARROW ESCAPE OF THE GLAMORGANSHIRE…
NARROW ESCAPE OF THE GLAMORGANSHIRE HOUNDS. On Monday the Glamorganshire Hounds met at the Dimlands Lodge. The pack was soon on the trail of a fox, and, setting off at a rattling pace, hunted him over the moorlands to the south of Cowbridge. Just as the hounds were crossing the Cowbndge and Aberthaw Railway a passenger train was proceeding in the direction of Aberthaw. The driver, seeing that the pack, which was in full cry, was likely to be put in jeopardy, at once slackened speed. The hounds crossed the railway just in front of the engine, and had it not been for the thoughtfulness of the driver the conse- quences to the Glamorganshire Hunt would have been serioas.

SALE OF WORK AT CADOXTON.
SALE OF WORK AT CADOXTON. On Tuesday and Wednesday a. very successful sale of work was held at the Mission-room, Iddesleigh-street, Cadoxton, the proceeds of which will be devoted to a fund for the restoration of the Parish Church. On Tuesday afternoon the bazaar was opened by Major-General Lee, who said he had been asked by the Rector (Mr. Morris) to come there and open the sale of work, which he did with great pleasure. They could hardly do with- out bazaars now-a-days as they had not any rich people to give them heavy sums, and consequently these little sales of work were an essentis\prin- ciple in raising funds in the present day. He was asked by the rector to think particularly the following ladies who had worked so energetically in getting up the sale :—Miss Small and the Misses Small (The Court). Miss Palmer, Mrs. Treharne. Miss Jenkins (Old Village), Miss Llewsllyn, and Miss Wayland, who had been materially assisted by the Rev. E. Couch. He hoped that financially the bazaar would prove a suc- cess. Amongst those present at the bazaar were—Rev. E Morris (rector). Rev. E. Couch. Rev. J. Usher, Mr. Jones-Lloyd, Dr. and Mrs. Treharne, Mrs. and the Misses Small, Misses Williams (Tynewydd), Mrs. W. L. Morgan, Misses Morris and Barstow (The I Rectory). i Miss Palmer, Mr. W. L. Jones, lHr. Llewellyn Williams. Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, Mr. and Miss Whitfield, Mr. Benj. Lewis. Mr. Greenwood, Mr. Davies. Miss Rogers, Mr. Holmes, Missllees, Miss Martin, &c. The stalls, which were laden with large quantities of useful and ornamental articles, were in charge of Mrs. and M:ss Small, Mrs. Dr. Treharne, Miss Palmer, and Miss Llewellyn the refreshment stall con- taining many tempting dishes. All the fair stall- holders did an excellent business, and many and suc- cessful wiles were used to tempt purchasers. The world-famed Mrs. Jarlcy and her waxworks" had been specially engaged," and caused much merriment to the visitors. Mrs. Jarley. good old soul, was as loquacious as ever, but it was very difficult to recogniso in the excellent -1 Simple Simon," the popular little curate, the Rev. E. Couch. Simple Simor's countenance wore a most angelic expression, as. in time with the music, he fished in the bucket. The ferocious li Blue Beard threMened his wife "Fatirna" with death with slow and meisured action, and Cinderella, whose foot is not quite so small as one was led to imagine, and tried unsuccessfully to get her li tootsies into shoes which from crystal 'had been turned into silver. Tha maiden all forlorn," and the Man all tattered and torn worked so well that they brought tears to the relict of Mr. Jarley, who, it was imagined by those present had recalled the time when she used to look away from Jarley when he came love-making. "The Sleeping Beauty was so lifelike in her graceful movements that the audience were almost persuaded that she was alive, whilst the Prince gazed on her with eyes in which love shone bright and clear. The second part of Mrs. Jarley's show partook of a his- toric character. Queen Elizabeth, reviewing her troops, with an 8ft. 5in. in length soldier saluting her as she rode on her rocking horse, made a great impression on the audience, whose sympathies were thoroughly enlisted with poor Queen Mary of Scotland, just about to be beheaded by a stern executioner. Some slight revulsion of feeling took place when the frail Rosamond was brought to book by Queen Eleanor, and Henry II. seemed rather in a dilemma between the two. The Where are you going to my pretty maid," was quite right in putting on such a scornful look at the advances made by the "young man who came a-wooing," and he ought to have known better. The Mrs. Jarley's show was undoubtedly the best part of the proceedings, and the get-ups were exceedingly effective, and reflected great credit on Miss Small. The follow- ing were the ladies and gentlemen who took part in it and the characters :— Mrs. Jarley Miss Wills Simple Simon.Rev. E. Couch Blue Beard Mr. Holmes Fatima Miss Morris Cinderella Miss Martin The Maid all Forlorn Miss Beatrice Small Tha Man all Tattered and Torn.Mr. Wallace Davies Little Miss Muffit and Jack Horner Misses Morris Sleeping Beauty .Miss Llewellyn Prince Mr. Martin SECOND PART.

Couch Quoen Eleanor .Miss Williams Queen Elizabeth Miss Wayland Henry II Mr. Holmes Rosamond .Mi8S Llewellyn Mrs. Squeers Miss Phippa Petsy Prig .Miss Palmer The Band Miss Small The proceedings both days were of a very suc- cessful character, and we are glad to learn that a good sum has been raised for the very laudable purpose held in view by the promoters of the bazaar.

PENAKTH POLICE COURT.
PENAKTH POLICE COURT. MONDAY.—Before Major Thornley and Mr. T. R. Thompson. A MISCHIEVOUS YOUTHS—Morgan P. James, a youth, was charged with damaging a hedge on the ,arm of Corner's Well, near Cogan, on the 3rd inst., the property of Mr. John Reea, who estimated the damage at Is.—Police-constable Thomas H. Evans said he saw the defendant, with other boys, cutting down the hedge with hatches, but when they saw him they ran awn-y.—Fined 10s. and 1s. damage, or seven days' imprisonment. WILL HE KEEP HIS PROMISE ?—Edward Keen, Penarth, was charged by Police-constable Henry Headen with being drunk and disorderly, on the evening of the 28th ult., in Glebe-street.—Police- constables Headen and Evans proved seeing de- fendant drunk and creating a disturbance in the street, and the former was called afterwards to turn him out of a public-house.—Defendant said all the constables were on him, and he was now going to turn over a new leaf and knock off the drink.-The Bench, finding he had been convicted for the same offence frequently, now fined defen- dant 20s. and costs, or fourteen days, but threatened to send him to prison next time without the option of a fine, A CAUTION TO "FOOTBALLERS."—Francis and William Lewis, both milk vendors Thomas Palmer, labourer and Edwin Ellis, who described himself as "not working at all," were summoned for playing football on the highway in Arcott- street, Penarth. on the 3rd inst.—Police-constables Evans (77) having given evidence, Inspector Rutter said there were great complaints about boys play- ing football in the street.—Major Thornley said football playing in this manner was a great nuisance, and the magistrates must put a stop to it. Defendants would be fined 2s. 6d. each, or five days' imprisonment; but if they offended again, they would be dealt with very severely.
SHOCKING CRUELTY TO A HORSE…
SHOCKING CRUELTY TO A HORSE AT PENARTH. "A HEARTLESS WOMAN," At the Penarth police court on Monday—befare Major Thornley and Mr. T. R. Thompson—Alfred Webb, a young man, and his sister. Mary Frost, were charged by Goddard Lockwood, R.S.P.C.A., with withholding -food from a horse, the property of the female defendant's husband, who, however, was in prison at the time. — Police-sergeant Sansom gave evidence to show that on the evening of the 26th ult. he saw the male defendant driving a horse and cart along the roadway between Co^an^ and Penarth. The animal stopped every few yards, and was extremely weak and emaciated and in a very dirty and starving condition. He ordered the animal to be taken out of the cart, and sent home to the stable, with a request not to work the animal again while in that condition. Having been taken out of the cart the horse actually ate offal and pieces of paper off the street. -The inspector said on the following Monday he went to the female defendant's stable and saw the animal in question. The horse, which was a bay one, could hardly stand, and was tied to the stall by a piece of rope. The animal was in a most wretched, weak, and starving state, and he asked the police officer to get him 8oma oats, which he ate most ravenously. A portion of the manger had been eaten away, and the manger ha.d also been licked quite clean. The muscles of the animal were completely wasted away through want of food.-The female defendant said her husband being in gaol, she had no money for food for herself and family-in fact, she had only 2d. to buy food f.cr Sunday's dinner.—The Bench said they did not consider Webb was in any way re- sponsible for the condition of the horse, although he worked the animal while in a starving state. The case against him would, therefore, be dis- missed. With regard to Mrs. Frost, the case was the most cruel one they had ever heard at that court, and defendant had acted most heartlessly. She would be fined 20s. and costs, or fourteen days' hard labour. —
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A LOCAL…
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A LOCAL OFFICIAL. At the Penarth Police-court on Monday, Mrs. Bennett, wife of Benjamin Bennett, plasterer, Cadoxton, applied for a summons against Thomas Palmer, a married man, employed as driver of the steam road roller by the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board, for an alleged criminal outrage on her daughter, Florence Jane Smith, aged eleven, who suffered from St. Vitus's dance.-The applicant stated that on the previous Tuesday afternoon Palmer called the little girl into ashed off Court-road, Cadoxton, and, having given' her a penny, indecently assaulted her. The child had subsequently been examined by Dr. Treharne.-The summons was granted. i.

CONGL Y CYMRY. 1 DAN OLYGIAETH LLWYBFRYN.] LLITHIAU J. EDWARDS, NANTYMOEL. AT OLYGYDD "SEREN Y DE." SYR,—Rhaid i mi eich blino eto am ganiatad yn eich colofnau i wneyd sylw o drwth enllibaidd a chyf- eiliornus J. Edwards. Bum yn meddwl gwneyd ag ef yr hyn na wnaeth yr un drwg ag ef, sef ei adael yn ddisylw, gan ei fod mor druenus a dibwynt yn ei lith hir-wyntog. Ond credais, am ei fod yn osgoi y pwnc, na wnai fliangell fechan ddim drwg iddo. Gwel pawb oddiwrth yr ysgrif duiweddaf ei fod yn ateb i'w enw i'r dim. Pan ffodd y Jacob gynt, daeth yn ol wedi cael enw newydd a chymeriad yn ei ateb. Ond mae yn ymddangos na ddaeth y Jacob hwn i'r un Peniel ar ei daith, oblegid mae yn nghafael a'r hen dries o hyd. Ymddengys ei fod yn nghanol tywyllwqh caddugawl gyda golwg ar yr oil a ysgrifena. 'Rwyf yn protestio yn ei erbyn yn fy ngalw i ac A. Davies yn frodyr ac nid wyf yn foddlon iddo chwaith ein g.dw ni ein dwy yn chwiorydd. Nid ydym ni yn honi perthynas mor gysegredig a hon a neb, ond a. chymeriadau teilwng— rhai wedi eniil iddynt eu hunain enw da yn ygymyd- ogaeth y byddant byw ynddi. Haera fod A. Davies a. minau wedi ymgynyg at ryddhau ac amddiSyn Mr. Hughes. Rhaid bod yn gaeth cyn y bydd eisiau i neb ryddhau, a chael ei gyhuddo o fod wedi pechu cyn y bydd eisiau iddo ef na. neb arall i amdditfyn. Gwn, Mr. Gol., iod Mr. Hughes wedi pechu ar nos Sul, Medi 25ain, yn erbyn J. Edwards a'i gyfeillion. Ond y mae J. Edwards yn ddigon gofalus i beidio cyhuddo na. gofyn dim i r cyfeiriad hwnw. Nid pregethuar fedydd sydd wedi peri i J. Edwards aflonyddu, oblegid mae Mr. Hughes yn gwncyd hyny bob tro y gweinydda yr ordinhad a chlywais ef yn siarad yn llawer cryfach ar fedydd nag y gwnaeth y nos Sul hwnw. Bedyddio un oedd yn aelod gyda'r Annibynwyr oedd y pechod mawr oblegid dyna wnawd y tro o'r blaen, pan ym- osodwyd gan rai o'r Ull gorlan. Pe dygwyddai i* J. Edwards gael ei gyfnewid trwy ras, ac i'r rhagfarn sydtf yn ei lywodraethu gael ei ymlid ymaith o'i fyn- wes, fel ag i fod yn ymgeisydd am fedydd y Testament Newydd, 'rwyf yn sicr y byddai yn blesor gan Mr. Hughes ei fedyddio yntau hefyd. Trueni fod J. Edwards, fel y Phariseaid gynt, yn cenfigenu am fod rhai yn cael eu dwyn o'r tywyllwch i'r goleuni, tra mae ef ei hun yn un o wyr y nos. Credais unwaith fod gan J. Edwards ryw newydd i'w ddweyd iwrth blant yr afon a phlitnt y basin bach ond nid oes ond gwynt a chwydd yn ei boeni, a hyderwn nn. tliry y rhai hyn yn ffolic na dropty arno, ond y dysg y wers o hunan- adnabyddiaeth yn fuan. Dywed J. Edwards ei fod yn methu dirnad beth a gynyrchodd y penawd "Bedydd" i'm llythyr. Nid wyf yn synu at hyn, oblegid dyna lie mae ef yn methu yn barhaus. Methu dirnad y ma.e ac oblegid y diffyg hwn ynddo taflwyd ef i ddyryswch gan yr ychydig linellau anfonwyd gan Mr. Hughes i'r SEREN. Deallodd ef fod .Mr. Hughes yn dweyd ei fod wedi cael ei gamarwain, tra y deallai pawb eraill mae dweyd wrtho am dcl'o(I i wrandaw arno ddarfu Mr. Hughes, fel na fyddai iddo gael ei gam- arwain. Methu dirnad y gwahaniaeth rhwng y dy- fodol a'r gorphenol mae J. Edwards. Nid yw yn gyf- rifol am hyn, canys gwendid naturiol ynddo ydyw. Gofala J. Edwards, yn ei ysgriblach, ddweyd nad yw yn gallu cadarnhau fod Mr. Hughes a minau wedi bod yn ymgynghori a'n gilydd. Dyna drueni na allai ei gadarnhau, fel y gallai gadarnhau rhywbeth." Ond, dyna, nid yw enllibwr byth yn cadarnhau dim a cjflywed. Amcana, trwy ei syniadau maleisus, wenwyno meddyliau eraill, ac y mae wedi cadarnhau y dywediad am dano-mae creadur ymchwyddol ydyw. Mae cylch y gynulleidfa y mae yn edlychyn o honi wedi myn'd yn rhy fach a chyfyng iddo. Rhaid iddo gael gwthio ei drwyn i mewn i gynulleidfaoedd eraill. I ba le nesaf, wys ? Gwyddom iddo ymchwyddo o'r blaen, nes i'r lie fyn'd yn rhy fach iddo. Gallai pob un ond J. Edwards ddeall, fel fy hunan, oddiwrth y sylw a wnaeth Mr. Hughes o'i ofyniadau, nad oedd yn bwr- iadu gwneyd rhagor o sylw o honynt. Felly, nid oedd eisiau i neb ymgynghori a Mr. Hughes er gwybod hyny. Dichon mai mesur wrth ei lathen ei hun y mae J. Edwards pan ddywed fod yn rhaid i miymgynghoxi, am ei fod ef yn gorfod gwneyd hyny a'i athraw. Oni ddarfu i mi yn foneddigaidd ofyn maddeuant Mr. Hughes os oeddwn yn eymeryd gormod hyfdra wrth wneyd sylw o ofyniadau J. Edwards? I hyn y mae darllenwyr y SEREN yn dystion. Haera J. Edwards fod i'r gair Bedydd amryw ystyron eraill mor gyfreith- Ion a'r gair trochi. Wei, yn enw synwyr cyffredin, paham na ddywed beth ydynt ? Ai tybel mai taenellu ydyw un o honynt ? Ni wna haeriadau disail y tro, 'rwyf yn sicr, i ddarllenwyr y SEREN. Oni ddarfu i mi gyfeirio at enwogion ac ysgolheigion yn mhob oes sydd yn cydnabod mai trochi yw ystyr Bedydd ? A ydyw J. Edwards wedi gwrthbrofi hyn ? Na, mae yn gwybod nas gall wneyd hyny yn gydweddol a dysgeidiaoth y Testament Newydd. Ond y mae yn ddigon haerllug a digywilydd i haeru fod hyny yn anghywir; a dywed, yn ymchwyddol, Ond yr wyf yn dweyd droswyf fy hun." Dyna glamp o hunan Y gwir yw hyn—y mae arwyddion amlwg yn ei ysgrif ei fod wedi bod yn chwilio am yatyron eraill, heblaw* trochi, i'r gair Bedydd, a'i fod wedi ei giomi yn fawr o herwydd ei fethiant. Yr wyf yn synu ei fod yn foddlon cydnabod fod trochi yn ystyr o gwbl. Felly, mae bedydd y Testament Newydd yn cael ei weinyddu gan y Bedydd wyr, yn ol J. Edwards ei hunan. A all ef brofi fod fedydd y Testament Newydd yn cael ei weinyddu gan yr Annibynwyr ? Dylai wneyd hyn cyn gadael y inaes, neu, o angenrheidrwydd, bydd yn rhaid i'w frodyr ei alw i gyfrif am gtniatau lymaint i'r Bedyddwyr. Dywed, hefyd, nad yw yn ymgymeryd a gwneyd sylw o A. Davies na J. James. Nid oes neb wedi gofyn iddo, ar a wn i, i wneyd sylw o neb na dim, ond y pwnc. Ond y mae arno ofn y pwnc. Arf per- yglus i gyfeiliornwyr i ymyraeth ag ef yw y gwir- ionedd. Mae gwirionedd wedi gwneyd i lawer J. Edwards i ffoi cyn hyn. Mae, mewn modd enllibaidd a llechwraidd, am i'r cyhoedd gredu fod gweithiwr islaw sylw Mr. Hughes. Dyna i chwi, Mr. Gol., amcan mileinig, onide ? Onid i weithwyr y mae Mr. Hughes yn pregethu bob Sul? Onid gweithiwr yw Mr. Hughes ei hunan ? ie, a gweithiwr caled hefyd ac y mae y gwahoddiadau mynych y mae yn gael i eglwysi De a Gogledd Cymru, ac i'n cymanfaoedd, ynghyia'r hyn y mae wedi wneyd yn Nantymoel, yn profi ei fod yn weithiwr caled iawn. Gallwn feddwl wrth sylwadau J. Esiwards fod dyn yn peidio bod yn weithiwr pan yn weinidog. Camgymeriad o'r mwyaf, J. Edwards. Mae yn syndod na fyddai dynion yn edrych i fyny ar J. Edwards fel un eithriadol. Dy- wed, mewn ton lleddf, Ymddengys, pe bawn ar enw o weinidog, gan nad beth fyddai fy nghyrhaeddiadau a'm hamgyffredion, y byddid yn edrych i fyny ataf." Yn enw pob synwyr, paham na wneir pregethwr cyn- orthwyol o hono ? Mae yn ymddangos y byddai yn foddlawn ar enw yn unig a dichon y gwna enw heb y eylwedd y tro iddo ef yn y cyleh y mae yn troi ynddo. Rhaid cael rhywbeth heblaw enw i enill sylw a pharch, J. Edwards. Fe gymerodd J. Edwards ei huifcn yn destun y tro diweddaf, a J. Edwards a J. Edwards oedd yn barhaus ganddo, a dim am Fedydd. Dichon y galwaf sylw y cyhoedd at Fedydd yneich colofnau yr wythnos nesaf, os caniatewch, Mr. Gol:—Yr eiddoeh, J. JAMES. Nantymoel, Rhag. 12fei

MONMOUTHSHIRE AND SOUTH WALES ORDER OF ODDFELLOWS. ANNUAL DINNER OF THE' WINDSOR LODGE. The first aunual dinner of the Windsor Lodge of the Monmouthshire and South Wales Order of Oddfellows took place on Tuesday evening- last at the Clarence Hotel. Barry Dock. It proved to be a decided success. The comestibles provided by the host and hostess (Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Ross) were all that could be desired the various toasts were given and responded to in a sensible style while the smoking concert was as harmonious as could be wished. Anout 42 sat down, the chair being taken by Dr. Livingstone' (the medical officer of the Lodge), and the vice by Bro. Fowler. Among those present were Messrs. G. Taton (Vice Grand), C. Watkins and M. Hopkins (joint sees.), C. F. Ross (treasurer), J. Dver. A. J. Weston, S. Dyer, F. Shaddock, J. Allet, W. Lee, J. W. Williams, II. Cottle. I. Jones, E. Jones, R. Griffiths, M. Segram, F. Conybeare. T. Barry, F. O'Neale, G. Angel, C. Blow, E. Dodd, W. Minnis, J. Hewitt, J. Ciirtis. T. Long, W. Fowler. J. Lloyd, J. Stroud, A. Jenkins, G. Clements, W. Griffiths, H. Dodd, T. Dodd, J. Evans, J. Gibson. J. Cutris. F. Jeff, &c.. &c. On the removal of the cloth, the Chairman gave the usual loyal toast, which was duly honoured. Bro. Fowler then gave the toast of The Order." After expressing regret that someone with more experience aud knowledge of the Order had not been selected to propose the toast, he remarked that he thought that the Monmouthshire and "South Wales Order of Oddfellows was one of the best friendly societies that they had at the present day. (Applause.) He was of this opinion, because it was founded on a better basis than any other friendly society at the pre- sent time. For instance, let them suppose that a man had got a roving commission about the country—had to shift about in order to earn a livelihood. Well. some societies, of which he had been a member, had been so constituted that he would have had to stop there if he wished to re- main on the books. In the case of the present society, however, it was totally different, for a member could migrate to another lodge, and have as much power in that aq the one he had left. He was sorry to announce that their district secretary (Mr. Thomas) had sent a telegram, saying that he was ill, and unable, therefore, to be present, for if he could have been at that dinner he would doubtless have given them some valu- able information. Hemightsay that he (the speaker) had been at the meeting at Cardiff where a number of prominent gentlemen had spoken, and he must say that he had heard some good sound Bense. So far as the Windsor Lodge was concerned he was sure that the better it was known the better it would be liked in fact the people of this country when they began to know the basis on which the Order stood the more they would approve of it. (Applause.) The toast was heartily drunk, and Bro. Watkins responded. He said the Order consisted of 148 lodges, with a membership of between 7,000 and 8,000. Each lodge helped the other exactly the -same as an amalgamated society would do. In this respect they were different to the Ancient Order of Oddfellows, which had a million and a half of money in the bank, for they circulated their funds and if it happened that they had so much money that they did not know what to do with it they would increase the pay of the sick members. Another great advantage they had was that when a man lost a limb, or had say a paralytic stroke, he would be entitled to £ 100. This sum would be raised by levying on every member in the Order a contribu- tion until the amount was raised, so that it would not take anything out of the financial funds. The contributions to the Order were sixpence per week for all members, and, including doctor's fee, 7d. In case of sickness, a member received 10s. for the first six months, and then us. On the death of a member £12 was paid, and on the death of his wife eB. The history of the Order had been like that of others. When it was started, a certain number of men joined simply to make what they could out of it. But he was glad to say that the Order was now in a flourishing condition, for the members were taking more interest in it, and were trying all they could to make it a success. The Lodge at Barry Dock consisted of 42 financial members. It had been established 12 months ago, and they had £ 20 in hand after paying the initiation fees, regalias. <fcc.—(applause)—and he considered, therefore, that they were on a good substantial footing. He was happy to say that they had some splendid members he did not sup- pose there was a better lodge anywhere than at Barry Dock. They were good substantial members; they came and paid their contributions regularly. This was far better than having a number of bad members indeed he would rather have 20 good than 40 bad members. He trusted that at the next anniversary dinner they would have £ 100 in hand; in fact he might say he would not be surprised to eee it. (Applause.) Bro. J. Hewitt also responded. He was very proud that he was a member of the Order, and he hoped to continue one. He wished success to the Order, and also to the visitors present that evening. Bro. E. Jenkins afterwards gave the toast of The Press in an interesting-style. He reiterated the benefits conferred upon a community by a well-condueted journal, and spoke in terms of praise of the local journals. The toast was heartily received, and was re- sponded to by the Editor of the Star, Mr. J. R. Llewellyn, and Mr. S. Jones. Bro. Watkin gave the toast of the Chairman.' They thanked Dr. Livingstone, he said, for the admirable way in which he had acted as chairman that evening, and also for the care and attention which he had devoted to the sick members of the Lodge. (Applause.) The toast was received with musical honours, and the Chairman in responding, said he agreed with what Mr. Watkins had said respecting the Lodge. It was far better to have a. few genuine members than many who were spurious. They would ba better able to build a 'good super- structure on the first named elements, and he looked forward to the day when the Windsor would be the of Lodge the district, and it would be an honour to belong to it. (Applause.) The musical part of the programme was gone through excellently well. Songs were sung by the Chairman. ''The convict's farewell"; Messrs. G. Angel, "Sing to your mother John H. Cottle, She's goare to get change for a shilling Dyer, "Sweet violets" (with variations); J. Curtis, The cricket on the hearth and Master Owen Mooney, The Three-leaved Shamrock." Mr. C. R. Ford accompanied on the violin. The dinner terminated with the singing of Auld Lang Syne."
