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.
