MRS. GRUNDY'S JOTTINGS
MRS. GRUNDY'S JOTTINGS "Good intertanemint and acomidation for knightly lowers" is provided in a certain .establishment in the "east end" of the Barry district. The Right Hon. Lord Dunraven will formally -open the Barry and Cadoxton Conservative Club and Institute, situate in Holton-road, Barry Dock, on Friday, June 1st, when the Right Hon. Lord Windsor, Mr Robert Forrest, J.P. (ex- high-sheriff of Glamorgan and president of the institute), Sir Morgan Morgan, Mr J. M. MacLean (Unionist candidate for Cardiff), and other prominent gentlemen will take part in the proceedings, the opening ceremony to be followed by a banquet at Culley's Hotel, Barry Dock. Adjectivially considered, Mr H. Byron Reed's addresses on church defence are simply wonders. Here is a specimen-" They (the so-called Libera- tionists) wanted to wound, cripple, dislocate, upset, annoy, worry, and plunder the noble insti- tution which had done so much good for the people." The remark called forth a thick volume of applause. A Barry man has conceived rather a good joke at the expense of the Home Secretary. Last Thursday, be says, Mr Asquith paired twice-in the House of Commons and at St. George's, Hanover-squate. Mr J. Lewis, conductor of the Efailisaf (Llan- twit Vardre) choir, which carried off the prize of JS20 and a silver-mounted baton, in the second choral competition at Porth eisteddfod last Mon- day, is a brother to Mr Daniel Lewis, Woodland- street, Barry Dock. My congratulations to the Barry Male Voice Party and their popular conductor, Mr Farr, upon their success at Caerphilly Eisteddfed last Monday, although I would have preferred had they carried off chief laurels. Their pluck and artistic excellence deserved it. s> c- e Mr J. Arthur Hughes, solicitor, Cadoxton, and clerk to the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board, spent a well-earned holiday during Whitsuntide at Brussels. There are rumours of a silver cradle being subscribed for among the members of the Barry and Cadoxton Local Board in honour of an interesting event which occurred on Whit-Monday in the family of the esteemed chairman of that body. Dr W. Lloyd Edwards, of Barry Dock, started on a pleasure vis-it to Antwerp last Thursday evening. Mr J. H. Braunton, of Barry Dock, a member of the Barry Cycling Club, competed in the one mile novice bicycle handicap, at the 'Quins ,spring meeting, at Cardiff, last Tuesday, and came in second in the fourth heat, afterwards winning a good race in the final by about a foot. mm' A little bit previous. We this week received a -communication addressed "The Editor, 'Barry Dock Daily News.' The Barry Dock Buffaloes are again on the path of philanthropy. They intend next Saturday evening holding a smoking concert at the Institute, in Thompson-street, for the benefit of Brother Joe Cooke, who has been ill for some time. # Is the Penarth Football Club on the down grade ? for the members could not see their way clear to pay the compliment of inviting the Press to attend their annual dinner last week. » H.R.H. the Duke of York, speaking at lthe annual dinner in aid of the fund of the Railway Benevolent Institution at London last week. said there were two special qualities which had often struck him as belonging to the railway employees. These qualities were honesty and civility—qualities which extra specially belong to the railwaymen of Barry. Are the members of the Barry Local Board "allowing the grass to grow under their feet 1" The green stuff" can be seen springing up in the middle of Wcston-square and Lower Harvey-street. One of the most cherished privileges of the French Deputy is that of buying cigars under specially favourable conditions. The inhabitants of this district are specially privileged in having so many allotment gardens — hence, cheap cigars (?) One evening this week "Mrs Grundy" was present (as usual) at a convivial gathering, and on a sweep being suggested for the Manchester Cup she was lucky enough to draw Progression for the race in question. Her many friends might do worse than follow her tip both ways." c A gentleman in the neighbourhood of Stumpy, near Barry, prominently distinguished himself to -passers-by last Sunday by mowing grass on the lawn in front of his house. This is not an importation from America. •On a !recent Saturday morning a horse managed to get upon the line at Glogue station as the train was leaving for Cardigan. It started off in front vof the engine, and, keeping to the permanent way, was never headed, arriving at Crymmch well in advance of its iron competitor. I believe it." murmurs the office boy, and then there ensued an .argument as to the same thing occurring nearer home. The postal department estimate that the yearly loss on the passage of newspapers accounts to no ;-less than £ 90,000. At the annual session of the Sons of Temperance, at Newcastle last Monday, it was announced that the adult membership was 30,800, and the juvenile membership I 11,700. The adult funds were J6120,000, and the juvenile funds £ 6,000—an .increase in the former of .& 6,000, and in the latter -of A 900. The question of amalgamation between the Primitive Methodist and the Bible Christian denominations will be raised at the forthcoming Primitive Methodist Conference at Chester by a resolution from Newport circuit, which has been endorsed by the South Wales district meeting. Mr Herbert Gladstune appears in the House of Commons with his hair nicely curled, and a brilliant carnation in his button-hole." This is a remarkable resemblance to the president of the Barry Bachelors' Association. O C- To take a cow from door to door, and milk her in the presence of each customer, is the very newest departure in London milk business. Preaching last Sunday afternoon at St. James'- hall, London, on "The Reunion of Churches," the Rov Hugh Price Hughes said the influence of Christians would be ten times increased if they would but brush their theological differences aside and act together in matters affecting their common welfare. What shall we do with our boys? I have received several letters of complaint lately of the mischievous conduct of boys in the Barry district, and I have been asked to call the attention of the police thereto. I do so with pleasure, because if respectable people cannot be allowed walk the streets without being systematically insulted by a lot of ignorant scapegraces, it is time to set the law in motion. An example or two would do a world of good. A Cadoxton tradesman this week sent his apprentice two or three miles for a pennyworth of cabbage plants, but instead of the plants the tradesman received a warning as to the reckless way he spent his money in future. Mr Edward Davies, J.P., Llandinam, the man- aging director of the Barry Railway Company, has subscribed J31,000 to Trevecca College and £1,000 to Bala College, On the subject of signalling wind-bound vessels in Penarth and Barry Roads, a communication has been received from the Admiralty regretting that they cannot allow the coastguard to signal wind- bound vessels for Lloyd's committee, as it would involve the employment of an extra man. Where such assistance could be given, however, without involving expense it would be done. ♦ Heard in Barry Dock :—Customer What kind of a chicken was that you gave me day before yesterday ? Poulterer A Plymouth rock ma'am." Customer Yes, it cut like one." II< A contingent of vocalists is about being trained under the auspices of the Barry Male Voice Party to join with Mr Jacob Davies' Cardiff choir in competition at the national eisteddfod at Carnat von this year. So'ne young men from Penarth fell into the lake at Cheddar last Saturday, but happily with no ill effects save the saturating of their Sunday cothes. One of the number may receive the Royal Humane Society's award. The Barry Local Board will meet next Monday to pass a resolution to oppose the Barry Company's Bill in view of the protection of the public interests of the district.
FALL DOWN A SHIP'S HOLD AT…
FALL DOWN A SHIP'S HOLD AT BARRY DOCK. Henry Curtia, aged 15, belonging to Bayswater, an apprentice on board the sailing ship Dunsire, of London, accidentally fell a depth of about 35ft. into the hold of that vessel, lying at Barry Dock, on Wednesday evening last, and sustained a severe scalp wound and a slight fracture of the skull. There were other injuries, both internal and ex- ternal. The injured lad was conveyed on the Barry Company's ambulance carriage, accompanied by Captain Gunson and Dock-constable J. Edwards, to the Hamadryad Hospital Ship, Cardiff, for treatment, having been previously attended by Dr N. J. N. Bray, Kingsland-crescent.

THE CHURCH CONTROVERSY.
THE CHURCH CONTROVERSY. A PRIEST'S REJOINDER TO MR ROSS. THE CORRESPONDENCE STILL WAXES STRONG. To the Editor of the "PENARTH STAR." DEAR SIR,—Your pungent wit and biting irony were visible in the heading of A. E. P. Ross's last communication as "Reply to 'A Priest of the Undivided Church.' He spoke of absurdities advanced by me, but was unable to produce one. He mentioned record office documents, which have become accessible, and which supply evidence against the Church of England, but he did not give a single specimen, nor quote one solitary sentence to show that he spoke the truth. He reiterated a foolish statement, made by him in a former letter, as though repetition could make a falsehood true-as though reitera- tion were proof. He referred with unctuous and imbecile egotism to a function at which he assisted in Clifton, as it that were evidence of anything. With impudent presumption he takes on himself to assert that the party which I represent" is now ashamed of the name Protestant. I say this assertion is inexcusably false. We have gloried and ever shall glory in resisting error and superstition in the Holy Catholic Apostolic Church of Christ and in protesting against it. He says "the Anglican Church was set up by violence, and supported by robbery and penal laws." This is merely frothy nonsense, with no pretence to verity. How about the Inquisition? How about the massacre of St. Bartholomew's (and that medal!)/ How about the bloody episodes of religious persecution which have always attended the propagation and power of the false and uncatholic religion of Rome ? Will "A. E. P. Ross" deny that Roman (I mean what he falsely calls "Catholic") com- mentators on the Holy Scriptures have defended and recommended the persecution of heretics ? St. Augustine of Hippo, forsooth, a witness on the Roman side! If that good Christian man were to appear on earth now, does "A. E. P. Ross for one moment suppose that he would not condemn the Cliurch of Rome and all her abomi- nations, while he would bless the Catholic Church of England as the most glorious witness to Christian truth that the world has ever seen ? Your correspondent tries to do a little trade by mentioning together Catholics (sic) "and Nonconformists." Now, I have fearlessly written in your columns about the latter, bat let me now say that, with whatever feelings I may regard their religious opinions, the doctrines and views which to my mind appear to be mistakes on their part are very little in comparison with the gross and capital errors of the papist. The latter is now endeavouring to make the dissenters of England and Wales his tools in order that he may the more easily carry out his proposed end, viz. (as Cardinal Vaughan put it) the conversion i.e., perversion) of thirty millions of Englishmen." I believe that their good sense and love for truth will prevent English and Welsh dissenters from being thus duped by JeEuits and all the black infantry of Satan." To hear or read the confident assertions of papists an unwary person might be led to think that they are (outside of England) acknowledged universally as the Catholic Church, but the fact is that the Ancient Orthodox (or Greek) Church will not touch the hem of their filthy garments. While Rome, with wonderful kindness and courtesy, condescends to regard members of the Greek Church as only schismatics, the latter, on the other hand, will not acknowledge the priesthood, &c., of Rome. In fact, an incident occurred in Australia some time ago, and another in the United States of America, showing that the Othordox Church is far more disposed to friendly relations with the Anglican than with the Roman Communion. In reference to your correspondent's statements regarding the Blessed Virgin Mary, let me say that, in spite of what he may say to the contrary, all the eaily commentators (as Irenaeus and Chrysostom) understand the answer of our Lord to His mother as conveying a reproof; but, of course, that does not matter to one who prefers a Catholicism conceived and brought forth at the Council of Trent, or shall we say rather by the vatican decrees, to the one Apostolic Catholic Church established by Christ and endowed on the day of Pentecost by the gifts of the Holy Ghost.—I remain, Dear Sir, Yours in the One Faith, A PRIEST OF THE UNDIVIDED CHURCH.
BRITISH WOMEN'S TEMPERANCE…
BRITISH WOMEN'S TEMPERANCE ASSOCIATION. The eighteenth annual council meetings of the above association were held in London last week. Lady H. Somerset and Miss Willard gave a grand reception to the delegates in St Martin's Hall on Monday evening, May 7th. As is usual on such occasions, the weal th, beauty, and fashion of the West End seemed to predominate, and many were the varieties of costly costumes worn by the delegates and their friends. The decorations of the hall were exceedingly pretty, being gay with tropical plants, flowers, and white ribbon. As Lady Henry received the guests with her beaming face and warm grif of the hand it seemed as though total abstinence made everyone happy and kind to each other. The excellent music discoursed by the women's mandoline band and the first-class refreshments served helped to put everyone at their ease, and made us feel that the bond of sympathy made all the world akin. Short addresses were given by workers from India, Africa. Spain, the United States, Scotland, Ireland, and Gallant Little Wales," which, you will be pleased to hear, has added more branches and members than any other place. The presenta- tion of badges and photographs to the most successful collectors for the Industrial Inebriate Home" was a very interesting part of the pro- gramme, and loud was the applause when the result of the appeal to the branches was made known. One thousand pounds was the amount asked for, but nearly £3,000 has been raised. Tuesday was devoted to praise, prayer, and short addresses Wednesday and Thursday to business. When the roll call was read, it was with profound sorrow we learned that 50 of our workers had passed away, being called by the Master to higher service. The progressive policy which Lady H. advocated last year has proved more successful than our most sanguine expectations. Three hundred branches have been added to the associa- tion, making in all 800. The expenses for the year were £ 4.000, the income being a little over that amount. Four hundred pounds were raised by the president herself. The resolutions for temperance teaching in schools, restrictions of sale of intoxi- cating liquors to children under sixteen years of age, grocers' licences, legislation for inebriates, dresses in pantomimes, &c., were, after lively discussion, unanimously carried. The annual meeting was held in the Queen's Hall, Langham- place, on the evening of the 10th. The magnificent building was packed an hour before time. The rich tones of the organ, the electric lights, and the embellishing of the hall were enough to strike consternation into the hearts of many a rustic. The action songs by the Band of Hope children, the singing of. Madame Antoinette Sterling, and the speeches of Lady H. Somerset, Miss Willard, Rev Canon Wilberforce, Sir W. Lawson, and Sir B. W. Richardson were all that could be desired. The presentation of souvenirs to Miss Willard (who is leaving the mother country to resume her work in America) closed one of the most profitable and enjoyable conventions ever held under the presidency of our beloved leader. We believe everyone will return to their work strengthened and refreshed, and more determined than ever to fight that greatest of all evils, the liquor traffic. We hope to arrange for a public meeting, to be held at Barry Dock in the early part of June, when further particulars will be given, and, we trust, many members added to our numbers.—F. INGLIS, president, Barry.
CHURCH DEFENCE MEETING AT…
CHURCH DEFENCE MEETING AT LLANCARFAN. A crowded meeting was held at the Board School, Llancarfan, on Friday evening last, to hear a speech by Mr H. Byron Reed on the Disestablish- ment and Disendowment of the Church in Wales. The chair was taken by Mr O. H. Jones, J.P., Fonmon Castle, and there were also amongst those present the Rev A. T. Hughes, vicar of Llancarfan, and Mrs Hughes the Rev Mr Lewis, Baptist minister, Llancarfan; Mr W. Griffiths, Wesleyan minister, Llancarfan the Rev E. Morgan, vicar of Penmark, and Mrs Morgan Mr and Mrs Harbottle, Fonmon Messrs Price, Lam- bethery Loughor, Llancarfan Hopkins, Moulton J. Savours, Rhoose W. James, Fon- mon W. Thomas, Aberthaw W. Alexander, Duck, Davies, James. Blackton Maisey, Welvert; J. Liscombe, W. Liscombe, &c.-The Chairman having, in a few well-chosen words, asked for a fair hearing, Mr Byron Reed addressed the meet- ing. He supposed those present might be divided into three classes, viz. :-Churchmen, Noncon- formists, and those who could scarcely claim to be either one or the other. Speaking chiefly to yon- conformists, he pointed out that the Bill lately introduced into the House of Commons did not bear upon its back the name of a single Welsh member. It was backed by those whose only interest in it was to secure for the Government the majority of fourteen the other night. This Bill to injure the Church was introduced to keep the Welsh members in good working condition. He .appealed to them to act on the principle, Do unto others as you would they should do unto you." (Hear, hear.) In dealing with this matter, they must remember that the Church in Wales was one with the Church in England, and they had to reckon on the uncompromising opposition of Churchmen in England as well as in Wales. (Applause.) There was a good deal of interruption at different parts of the speech, which did not, however, have a disconcerting effect upon the speaker, who, with unfailing good humour, used the interjected remarks to strengthen his argument. At the conclusion of the address, on the Chairman inviting questions, Mr T. Price rose in his place, and asked the speaker how the payment of tithe was altered from payment in kind to payment in money ? And elicited the answer that it was done by the Act of Parliament, known as the Commutation Act. The speaker also remarked that every- thing done by citizens, even to the meeting they were at that moment holding, was authorised and protected by Act of Parliament, Asked if he would be surprised to learn that by the Commutation Act the value of tithes was enhanced, Mr Reed answered that the passing of the Act was, at the time, to the advantage of the clergymen, but that tithe of the value of f4 at the passing of the Act brought in only £3 now. Asked how it was, if the clergy were not State j officials, that the registrar's presence was not necessary to the due performance of a marriage in Church, while his attendance was required at a marriage solemnized in a Nonconformist Chapel ? J Mr Reed replied that it was because the vicar of a parish was accepted as a registrar, while a Nonconformist minister was not. (Cheers.) But why ? continued the speaker. What is a Nonconformist minister ? The answer was followed by cries of shame and much uproar, any one who likes to call himself one." When order was restored the speaker continued. They might be seen, Mr Byron Reed said, on Weston Beach, or in Hyde Park, on almost any day. They knew that anyone who chose to preach, even if his following numbered three, could be recognised as a Nonconformist minister. Let them look into Whittaker's Almanack they would find there in. the long list of religious denominations ample proof. A number of most important questions had often to be decided by reference to the marriage register, questions of legitimacy, succession, &c. It was impossible that all persons recognised as Nonconformist ministers, many of whom engaged in trade and had no settled habitation, were here to-day and gone to-morrow, could be entrusted with so important an office. On the other hand, the incumbent of a parish had a well-known and settled habitation, and could easily be found at any time. (Hear, hear.) Mr Price thanked the speaker for his courtesy in answering his questions, and said he would now be glad to hand him over to someone else. The Rev Mr Lewis, Baptist minister, Llancarfan, then asked a series of interesting questions, chiefly historical, to which Mr Reed gave exhaustive and instructive replies. Mr Griffiths, Wesleyan preacher, Llancarfan, then offered a few remarks, declaring that he did not wish to take away from the Church one penny of what really belonged to her, and he should feel contempt for any man who desired to do so. The Church at present was like David when clad in Saul's armour. He wished to set her free, and he believed that Disestablishment would be the Church's salvation. Mr Byron Reed having reminded the last speaker that even Churchpeople claimed God as their Heavenly Father, called upon the audience to join in singing the hymn, 0 God, our help in ages past." This being done, the Rev E. Morgan pro- nounced the Benediction, and the proceedings terminated.—Communicated.
ROBBING AN HOTEL TILL AT CADOXTON-BARRY.
ROBBING AN HOTEL TILL AT CADOXTON-BARRY. John McDonnell, marine fireman, was charged at Barry Dock Police-court on Thursday (before Mr S. Batchelor and Mr John Duncan) with steal- ing a sum of money from the till attached to one of the bars of the Wenvoe Hotel, Cadoxton, on the 16th instant.—Mr Sydney Chappell, Wenvoe Hotel, deposed to seeing defendant in the bar on the date named. He did not see McDonnell toujh the till, but heard some money fall.-Charles Boulton, a labourer, stated defendant leaned over the counter and took some money from the till.- Isaac Hale, employed at the Wenvoe, gave similar evidence, adding he saw the money in defendant's hand. -Acting-sergeant Ben Davies proved arrest, and finding on defendant elevenpence in coppers. —Defendant, who said he was sorry he had taken the money, being in drink at the time, was sent to prison for fourteen days' hard labour.
A FRAUDULENT BARRY SAILOR…
A FRAUDULENT BARRY SAILOR SENT FOR TRIAL. At Barry Dock Police Court on Thursday last (before Mr S. Batchelor and Mr John Duncan) Carl Knutson, a Norwegian sailor, was charged with obtaining 10s by false pretences from Ann Winstone, wife of Robert Winstone, Gueret- street, Barry Dock. Prosecutrix said defendant came to board with her. In payment of the bill for board and lodging defendant handed the woman an advance note, and asked for the 10s balance te procure some clothes. This he had, but when she went to cash the note, she could not find the broker whose name was on the note. —Acting-sergeaat Herbert Evans having given evidence as to arrest, defendant was committed for trial at the Quarter Sessions.

THE TRADES COUNCIL'S FIASCO AT BARRY DOCK. To the Editor of the BARRY DOCK NEWS." DEAR SIR,—As might have been expected the great mass meeting held under the auspices of about a dozen individuals who have been for some time professing to cater for the Labour cause of the Barry district, but who in reality have been catering for themselves, as proved by analysis of their speeches delivered last week in the Iddesleigh Hall, Cadoxton, has proved an utter failure. Had the constitution of the Barry Trades and Labour Council been identical with the various Trades Councils of the United Kingdom, this fact would have been a deplorable one, but taking into con- sideration the true state of affairs, it will un- doubtedly have a beneficial effect on the Trades Unionism of the district. The public were pro- mised a very savoury repast of political and social speeches from Messrs Keir Hardie. M.P., J. H. Wilson, M.P., H. Slatter, J.P., J. Curie, F. A. Fox, T. Davies, W. G. Tunley, J. Recs. Councillor J. Jenkins, J.P., and other prominent Trades Unionists, with Mr E. Harford to officiate as chair- man. Yet, what do we findAs a matter of fact, speeches were only delivered by Messrs F. A. Fox and E. Harford. Mr Curie was also present, but for some reason or other left early. Owing to scarcity of speakers, Mr J. H. Jose occupied the chair in order to allow Mr Harford to step in to the wide breach. Mr T. S. Thomas submitted the resolution, and absorbed fully half-an-hour in ex- planatory remarks as to its meaning, ignoring the fact of there being a possibility of his hearers in the body of the hall being possessed of a little intelligence. He was followed by Mr F. A. Fox, who dealt with the very crux of the question of organisation in a very able manner, his remarks being very concise and to the point. The indi- viduals constituting the Trades Council who were present could not do better than endeavour to put Mr Fox's arguments into practical use by the absolute abandonment of their wire-pulling policy and substituting a thorough system of re-organis- ation among themselves. The next speaker in support of the resolution was Mr Harford, who dealt fully with the legal eight hours question and the Employers' Liability Bill with a very interesting speech. I venture to say that had these two gentlemen understood the composition of this so-called Council, and their policy during the last eighteen months, an apology would have been submitted to the meeting for non-attendance. The seconder of the resolution was Mr W. Copp. He stated that some men would work more than eight hours whether required or not. Will he answer a question I put to him through your columns last July as to its being imputed that he himself was working overtime to the detriment of his fellow Trades Unionists? Mr J. Rees failed to put in an appearance to support the resolution. Throughout the whole controversy I have had with this self-styled Council, I have always shown respect for Mr Rees as the most conscientious member of it, and it would be interesting to know the cause of his absence. Of course, the proceedings would not be complete if the redoubtable Mr Harper had not the opportunity of delivering his usual incoherent harangue to the workers. Nevertheless, this meeting will not have been held in vain, for if the .workers will rise to a sense of duty- by adopting Mr Fox's advice in thoroughly re-organising them- selves, and sending men of sterling value to repre- sent them on the Council, or even compelling a complete change of policy to take place on the existing Council, which could be remodelled with a sprinkling of new blood in it, it will have a beneficial result as regards the Trades Unionist .movement generally.—J am, yoursj &c., J. HARRISON, Late Vice-president, Barry District Trades' Council. 10, Kingsland-crescent. Barry Dock, May 8th, 1894. THE STATE OF CADOXTON COMMON. To the Editor of the "BARRY DOCK NEWS." DEAlt SIR,-Allow me the aid of your influential columns to call the attention of the local board to the condition of Cadoxton Common. I venture to say there is not a prettier vantage-ground in any part of the district, and this is confirmed by the numbers who congregate on the Common on fine summer evenings. Yet it seems utterly neglected, cut up into ruts here and there, and used as a general dumping ground for horses of all breeds, and of no breed at all, making it specially dangerous for children. Lately our friends, the quoit-players, have taken a fancy to have a few quiet games to the injury of the turf. Not that the game should be objected to, but it proves that this valuable piece of land should receive attention as seen as possible, so that, instead of an eyesore, it should be recognised to be, as it really is, the most picturesque spot in the district, and cared for accordingly by setting apart a space specially for quoits and similar games.—Yours truly, CAVEO. Cadoxton, May 9th, 1894. SUNDAY. QUOIT-PLAYING AT DINAS POWIS. To the Editor of tIle" BARRY DOCK NEWS." Srn,-I notice in your last issue a paragraph which is likely to do material injury to the Dinas Powis Quoit Club, viz., that quoits is being played on Sundays at Dinas Powis, and I beg to inform you that we do not allow our ground to be open, neither do we allow our quoits to be used by any member of the club on the Sabbath Day but, of course, we cannot be responsible for the action of private individuals. Trusting you will kindly give this space in your next issue,-I am, yours faithfully, STUART CRAM, Hon. Secretary, Dinas Powis Quoit Club. Dinas Powis, March 14th, 1894.
ISAILING RACE AT PENARTH.

The weather was fine, but a strong north west wino was blowing, and squally. The Levant (kindly lent by the commodore, Mr Vellacot, who actei as umpire) followed the race, and a most enjoyable after- noon was spent.

THE LATE MR T. JENKINS, CROSSTON, LLANCARFAN. As announced in our obituary last week, Air Thomas Jenkins, Crosston, Llancarfan. died on the 8th instant, at the advanced age of 90 years. The funeral took place on Thursday last at Soar Burial- ground, Bonvilstone. At the chapel, the Rev T. C. Thomas read and prayed, and the Rev W. E. Evans, Carmel, preached an impressive sermon. The Rev W. 0, Owen. Bridgend, delivered an address at the graveside: and amongst those present we noticed the Revs J. Lewis, Llancarfan W. Daniels. Barry and W. Griffiths, Llancarfan. Alderman H. Anthony, J.P., Caerphilly: the principal members of the family of the deceased Mr W. and Mrs Jenkins and family of Rhoose Mr and Mrs T. Jenkins and family. Gwennydomer, near Caerphilly Mrs Lloyd and Miss Jenkins, and a large number of carriages, in which we noticed Messrs Howells. of Llancadie Mr E. Thomas, Llancadie Mr Loughor, Llanbithin Mr Loughor. Garnllwvd Mr Davies, Llanbethery Mr J. Smith. New Wallace, Wenvoe Mr J. Morgan, Llantrythyd Mr T. Price, Llancarfan Mr E. Griffiths, Bonvilstone Dr Powell. Barry, Ic. On the coffin were two beautiful wreaths, one from the Rhoose family, and the other "From little John," the youngest son of Mr Jenkins, Rhoose, of whom his grandfather was particularly fond. Mr Jenkins was well-known in the Vale of Glamorgan as a very successful farmer and a keen man of business. He was born at Glynog.ganol Farm, near Llantrisant, in the year 1804. He came to the Vale fifty years ago. He was at Lanbythery for eleven years from Lanbythery he went to Castleton, where he was for 21 years. Farming then was a paving concern, and Mr Jenkins was able to retire from business and spend the remainder of his life in plenty and peace at Crosston, his own place, and one of the prettiest residences in the Vale. In religion Mr Jenkins was that of a staunch Congregationalist, and he was a faithful member of Carmel Church, Bonvil- stone. He was converted under the powerful ministry of the late Mr Hughes, Groeswen, and joined the Independent Church at Cymer, Rhondda Valley, where his father and mother were members, and though the distance from Glynog to Cymer- was five or six miles they seldom missed the Sunday morning service. When at Castleton he went to Bethesda Fro, and was a very great admirer of the late Rev Morgan Morgan. He was a Welshman of the old string. In his opinion the Welsh language is the grandest in the world, and he had no patience with parents who were doing their best to banish it from the country by bring- ing up their children in English. Mr Jenkins was taken ill about two months ago, and it was feared at the time he could not live but a few days, but he had a strong and robust constitution, and it took death two months to cut it down. During his illness he showed wonderful patience,. and his mind never wandered from his dear Redeemer. It was very touching to hear him re- peating old Welsh hymns, such ite- Caersalem, dinas hedd, o na bawn yno'n 03'w, 0 hyd cawn weled gwedd A siriol wyneh Duw Mae weithiau'n dywyll arna'i 'nawr, Fy haul aid u byth yno i lavvr. On Tuesday morning, May Sth, his soul took flight to the realms of glory, To be with Christ, for it is much better." It is noteworthy that he was born in May. married in May, died in May. Mrs Jenkins died eleven years ago, in the year of their golden wedding. Everything that love and money could do were done to alleviate his last sufferings, His two daughters, Miss Jenkins and Mrs Lloyd. were constantly with him, and remained with him to the last. He came to his grave in a full age, like as a stock of corn cometh in his seasoa. Communicated.
