up. Sometimes the lights wera not seen by witness, and at other times t-hey were mere shadows. The lights, h3 said, were piaying on him as a signal for some- one in authority to know what he was doing and where he was. Inside the house her father would see shadows, and the week before June he be- came much more strange. On the Tuesday lfore the occurrence Tommy, the elder of the two brothers, joined the Marines. That week the prisoner began to keep the light from penetrating, putting up sheets, etc., at the windows in the daytime. Alice, the aeceaeed, was his favourite daughter. Prisoner, who was seated in the dock, on hearing this looked down sadly and wiped away tears from hie eves with his hand. Margaret- Parkins (16), was the next wit- ness. The sides of her face were well pdJed by a white veil, while she wore a raIr of dark coloured spectacles. She said after going to bed she remembered nothing until the next evening in the infirmary Joseph Robinson, who lived next door to the prisoner, snoke to hearing Ena enouung "0.h. don't dad."

P.C John Harris, who aleo went to the house, said Mrs. Parkins and Margaret were saturated with blood. Blood was on the floor, walls and doo- of the bedroom. The witness spoke to finding the hammer (the handle ,,{ which broken), ch.se1. etc. Dr. West, house 51cgoon at Cardiff in- firmary, said Alice was admitted uncon- scious. There was an inch wound near the Tighr eve, a swelling on the left side, &n A serious fracture of the skull. The "no of the skull on the left side was Wered in, the brain protruding. had 14 wounds, chiefly on the back of th head. There was a slight fracture. Mar- garet and Ena had fractures on the right side of the temple, and smr.ll scalp wounds. Gladys had a scalp wound; not serious. Alice was the only one who died. The prisoner's throat was cut from side to side. Dr. Watkins produced a small piece ot word, fonncl in Alice's hair. This concluded the case for the nrosecu- t! DEFENCE MEDICAL EVIDENCE. Mr. Ivor Bowen said the prisoner haA been examined at th instance of the Trea- SUDr. Craddock. medical euperintendent of the County Asvlum at Gloucescter, sai e did not think the prisoner W11., respond b-e at the time, though on July 19 he was tn his right senses. The prisoner had no collect-' n of the occurrence. Dr. H. Cook, medical officer at Carditt Gaol, agreed. ,A Mr. Ivor Bowen, for the defence,. sai there wr« practically no facts at issue, and he urged prisoner committed the crime during a fit of temporary insanity, (xxunsei proceeded to speak of the prisoners tond- r«3s for his family, when it XV^&Jfv! that the prisoner was deeply touched by the ref?rence. Mr. Ellis Griffiths, M.P., asked if taere was anyone-any neighbour—who had any doubt as to the prisoner's sanity a.t the time? He also pointed out the fact of the hammer and chisel being concealed. I The Jud: it. was impossible in TOW of the evidence, sad as it was coming upon the poor children, to deny the terriib-e attack upon aJl of those in the nouse but one. The law presumed every ma-n was un- less the contrary was proved, and a ma.n was legallv insane when he did not know what he was doing, and also when he 1:0t know he was doing wrong. He rather aer-aed with for the prosecution that expert evidence called in afterwards war- not by any means conclusive, and neither were the Jury bound to accept their evi- dence. Though motive was not necessary to prove, t-he oHdewe die! not disclose the slightest motive, and. in fact, the. evidence was to the effect that the accu sed lived affectionately with his family, and was a slightest motive, and. in fact, the. evidence was to the effect that the accu sed lived affectionately with his family, and was a fond fa-ther. A man being hard up and depressed sometimes did tay, "I will end it aH" but was nothing to point that the prisoner said anything in that direction. The question' of the limits was difficult to explain. His Lordship thought there must have been certain lights and shadows on the wall, and became exaggerated accord- ing to the prisoner's view, he having some sort of idea tha.t they were done intention- ally to bear upon him. During counsel's and judge s addrseses to the jury, the two daughters who had given evidence rtodd up in the back of the court and listened attentively. VERDICT: "GUILTY, BUT INSANE." The jury, after half a minute's considera- tion, without leaving the box, returned a verdict of "Guilty, but insane." His Lordship ordered the prisoner to be confined as a criminal lunatic in Broad- moor Lunatic Asylum "until his Majesty's pleasure be known." HOW THE ACCUSED RECEIVED THE VERDICT. Prisoner, on hearing the senteoioe, iuraed on his heel and walked down the stairs. He was called back for a moment, 00 that the place of his detection—Broadmoor—could be officially stated by his Lordship. His two daughters, who had given evid- ence, breathlessly awaited the verdict, and to use the words of Ena to a friend shortly afterwards, "1 almost dropped when they gave it." "You ought to be glad at the result," asked the friend. 0 "1 am," was Ena-tr response, with feeling. Subsequently Mr. Ivor Bowen applied for permission for the two daughters to visit their father. His Lordship: Certainly.

BLACKED THE "BOBBY'S" EYE." PRrrON FERRY COLLIER GIVES P.C. GILL TROUBLE. Evan John Jonei, collier, Briton Ferry, appeared on bail at Iseath on Friday, charged with having been drunk and dis- orderly and having assaulted P.C. Gill, in the execution of hiis duty at Briton Ferry, on Saturday night last. Inspector Bennett said that a serious assault had l)fen committed, prisoner giving the constable a black eye. Prisoner said lie acted under great pro- vocation. The constable twisted his arm some way or other, and altogether exceeded his duty. The Chairman (Mr. Edward Davies): You are fined ICe. and oosts for drunkenness and disorderly behaviour, and 40s. and oosts for assaulting the oonstable.

CHOIR OUT OF TUNE. BRITON FERRY VICAR DISMISSES HIS SINGERS. 1;01' a long time past reJations of vicar and choristers of St. Clement's Church, Briton Ferry, have been strained, and on Surday last the issue was precipitated by what is now familiarly called the "Vicais bombshell.' This was a summary dismissal of rhe choir, wh) had just completed the evening service, when they were informed, through one of the curates, that their services wore no longer required. The choir, who had, through some business grievance with the vicar, given notice to terminate their en- gagement on Sunday next, were naturaih much taken arack: and all have agreed never to do duty in the choir again. A Press representative has had an inter- view with the vicar, who said that the choir had brought the trouble on themselves. They resorted to plots and threats, and he had to face it. "1 had been informed," he said, "that the choir had intended to absent th&oiac!.ves from the choir next Sun- day, and so leave the church and clergy in the lurch. I decided to put an end to matters by dismissing the choir. "Matters had been brought to a head by an imperious letter to the choirmaster de- manding a written agreement regarding the payment of organists' fees to the very day."

SWANSEA GIPSY'S DEATH. POLICE HAVE NO CHARGE AGAINST THE MOPJilSTON CYCLIST. On the Countv sheet at Swansea Police Court on Saturday was an adjourned charge against William J. Davies, labourer, Mor- nston, of "causing the death of one Nelson Williams." This was the case in which a gipsy had been knocked down and killed on the Mum- bles-road. At the Coroner's inquest Davies had been acquitted of any blame. Inspector Williams said the police had no cliarge to prefer. Mr. Walters (chairman), addressing de- fendant, remarked that his case had been before the Coroner, and that court said that nc blame attached to him. Still, it was a, painful affair to defendant, and no doubt he would be careful in riding his cycle in future. Another point to be ob- served was the use of the bell when ap- proaching anyone. "Many times," said Mr. Wakens, "cyclists run by me-and other: too—and we only know of their presence by seeing them in the front.'

OLD SWANSEA FIRM. RECEIVER FOR M'ESSRS. GOLDS- WORTHY AND CO. Mr. Frank C. Bevan, Wind-street, Swansea, has been appointed receiver and manager of Messrs.

DENSHAWAI OUTRAGES. PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS: BIGGER GARRISON WANTED. Parliamentary papers were issued on Fri- day coaling with the manner in which the Denshawai outrage sentences were executed, and referring to othir cases of attacks by Egyptians upon Europeans. Should the existing state of things con- tinue, it is stated that tha Army of occupa- tion would have to be considerably increased and a prc-ss law passed. A despatch dealing with the trial states the defence broke down completdy, and amount-ad to an appeal for mercy, and that four prisoners were sentenced to death and eight to receive fifty lashes each. Dr. Harold Nolan certified that the sen- tences were. properly carried out, and one prisoner, a.n ep;lertic and unfit for flogging, was not punished.

PULLED A WALL DOWN. MALICIOUS WORK AT YSTRADGYN- LAIS. At Ystradgynlais on Friday Evan Price (46), of Brecon, was charged with pulling down the wall of a house in course of erec- tion at Abercrave, the property of Thomas Samuel, builder. Prosecutor stated that Price had been III his employment for a few weeks. On Ihe 14th iTh5L, in consequence of drunken habits, he was paid off. Price demanded 6d. more than the amount paid, which was refused. Prisoner then s :d, "If you don't give it get the worth out of vou if I get a month for it." On the following morning he discover- ed that portions of the walls of the house ha- been knocked down. He estimated damage at £20. When in the cell prisoner said to P.S. Jarrett, "I did the job, sergeant; I don't want to give you no trouble." Defendant was sent down for a month.

SWANSEA FISHERIES. ALLEGED FISH DESTRUCTION. MH. T. W. JAMES AND FISHING RIGHTS. BARGING REFUSE "LOP-SIDED ARRANGEMENT." i/ocal committee of the Glamorgan Sea Fisheries District met at Swansea oil Thurs- day. Mr. Tutton presided. Inspector Francis' quarterly report stated that fishing had not been 8v successful owing to the cold weather. He contradicted the report of the alleged destruction of fish, and in 14 years had only had reason to make two complaints. He had, how- ever, frequently seen boys from the Mum- bles a.nd elsewhere coming away from the nets with small fish, which they got by raking the bottom of the butts. Lobster and crab fishing had improved since the warm weather had set in, and on M'av 10th there Was caught off Langland Point a crab which weighed 1l lbs., and measur- ing 10 inches round the largest claw. This was most remarkable, as a crab weighing 3 lbs. was considered large. Town Clerk read a letter from the Oystermouth Council making representa- tions with reference to whole sal 3 destruc- tion of small fish at nets on the foreshore, which, it was alleged, occurred in conse- quence of the present arrangement of th? nets. It was hoped measures would be taken to prevent what must be harmful to the industry. The Town Clerk said thera were bye-laws. Mr. T. W. James I have been told there is a great destruction of fish. Inspector So have I j but I have never ssen it. Mr. T. W. James could not think these constant complaints were imaginary. Mr. Andrews said ever since he could re- member there had been, the same cry at the Mumblss. Replying to the Town Clerk, the inspec- tor said the bye-laws relating to the sLse meeh and pool of water were observed. Mr. Ja.m said that at Mumbles it was stated thera was no water at all. Inspector replied that there was always sufficient to keep fish alive. Town Clerk. Is it in the interest of the fishery to remove thestj nets? Inspector Francis answered that he bad seen very little destruction. Chairman suggested that the Oyster- mouth Council be told that. the committer were not aware of any different arrange- ment of the nets than what had obtained for three years past, but on the recom- menda.tion of the Town Cbrk. it was de- cided to ask the Oystermouth Council if they had any proof of the destruction. MT. Andrews complained of wilful and deliberate dama.ge done to the nets by un- known youths. Town Clerk: We should like to get to know the reason why. Mr. James "• Is no means of find- ing out who are the people receiving the Tents for the Town Clerk said that information might bs got. Mr. Ja.mes added that the old idea was that land along the bay carried with it a right of fishing, but it was his opinion that half the people who claimed fishing rights had no title to them. He suggested the com- mittee might become the tenants. Replying to the chairma.n, the inspector said there was now no deposit along the coast of refuse barged to sea. Mr. James remarked upon the time taken to barge it. He thought it could be de- posited all at once, but it took practically all day. Chairman It is a lop-sided arrangement altogether. Inspector: And I am really afraid there is going to be loss of life in t.hc winter with t.he tools they have got. Chairman: They won't possibly do it in the winter. The matter dropped. Mr. Andrews brought up the question of the damage done to his fisihing to tb 3 east of the pier by the change in t.he position of the sewer outlet consequent on the con- struction of the new dock. The Chairman suggested that he should consult a solicitor a.nd act independently of the committee.

FARMER'S WIFE CHARGED AT PONTARDAWE. ALLEGED SAYAGETCRUELTY TO AN ILLEGITIMATE GIRL. DOCTOR SPEAKS TO HER PITIABLE CXXNDITION. Au Pontardawe on i?ridav Hannah Jones, Cwrtybarewm Farm, Pontardawe, wife of Llewellyn Jones, farmer, was summoned for assaulting and ill-treating and neglecting Mary Jane Hughes, aged Us. an illegiti- mate child in her charge. Mr. Leeder, Swansea, pro&ecirvU,;l for the .S.P, C,C., and ,f- Benson, barrister, defended. Mr. Leeder said he would prove that the! child bad been terrorised and ill-used, and that on July 1st, defendant, after having kicked her and knocked her about the head with a d,ung fork, used a poker and beat her about the head and body in a mo-st unmerci- ful manner. The child ran away shortly after in consequence of the defendant paying tl she would kill her, and found refuge in a farm. If nroved, he thought the magis- trates would say that this was a veryJad case indeed, 'lhey had reason to believe tint the ill-treatment bad taken place in -he absence of the husba.nd, so they could :iot say that he was responsible. Inspector >■ Arnold, N.S.P.C.C., said on July 3rd, in consequence of complaints, he went to see tnj child at Pontardawe at the house of Mary Ann Griffiths. Dr. 'ivans, Vrs. Griffiths, and P.C. Hill were present. The child was in a. TERRIFIED STATE, TREMBLING FROM HEAD TO FOOT, and also in a very dirty and neglected con- dition. She was nothing but a macz of Lruiisas from head to foot. The same day witness saw defendant at Cwrtybarcwm Firm. Whin spoken to about the condition of the child she replied, "I only beat it itti my hand. She is a little liar. The cow kicked her one day last week and made the brui&es." Asked if she had made inquiries as to the whereabouts of the child, she ie- plied, "No, but my husband is going to look for her to-day.! The child, she said, was not attending school. The school was too far away, about a mile and a half. Witness told her the child should have received proper at- tention. Witness brought away the ioker fr the farm. (The poker produced was a thick, etout one.) Replying to Mr. Benson, witness said the child was with Mrs. Jones, by her mother's consent. Mary Ann Griffiths, Ivy Cottage, remem- bered seeing the etiild on Monday, July 2nd, about midday, outside her (witness's) house. She called her in, and the child cried out for something to eat, and witness gave her so- cake. There werte marks on the child s eyes and a scar on the cose that a half-crown^ wouldn't cover! She said she had run away from Mm. Jones because the latter had threatened to kill her. She fetched P.C. Hill, and then they found her bruised nil over her little l>ody. The child was dirty and verminous, and they bathed her. P.C. Hill corroborated. "GREAT DEAL OF UNNECESSARY PAIN." Dr. WLHiam Owen Eva.ns said the child was dirty, verminous, and excited and ner- vous. It complained of pain in the head, but there was no bruising beyond a small red patch. The right temple was swollen, and there was a small scab en th-3 cheek. Left arm and shoulder Isad bluish and ye-ll-ow bruises. Over the shoulder blade it was almost black, and very painful to the touch. On the nose was a wound, half an inch long. There were three yellow bruises on the lower part of the back; deep --I livid bruises on both legs—one of them 2iin.s- by 2ins. He considered the child had b?ea subjected to a great deal of un- necessary pain. CHILD TELLS HER STORY. Mary Jane Hughes, the girl, said she was an orphan, and came to Mr. Jonas' farm from Blaennantidu Farm, Velkidre. Mrs. Jones had been cruel to her, but Mi. Jones was not, and Mrs. J-m, v.'ould not beat her when he was in. She used to beat i.cr with a dung fork and kick her. Two months ago she. kicked her on the left eve and she could not see for a w:ek. On S'unday, July 1st, she kicked and beat her with a kitchen poker all over. On Monday I she threatened to kill her, saying: "Go out of the house and go to the or 1'11 kiTl you!" Witness went to Mrs. Griintlis's. where she stayed over Monday night. She had to get up at 5 every morning and work till 12 at night. Mr. Leeder Have you ever been hurt by any animal?—No. Ever been kii ifd by a cow.'—Yes, a w?ek before last. Did it burt you much?—No. Had your iiiist-, rtss beaten yeu before that ? ,v es she is always beating me. In rly to Mr. Bemon, the little girl admitted that she had not told Mr. Jones about being on the last occasion. Some time ago had a black eye that was not can sea by runr:r^ against a nail. but by defendant beating hsr. »e had told Greenaw ay that the black eve had been caused by running against a nail. That was not true; but she was not in the habit of telling untruths. M'r. Ben thai 1: Did you really believe she was going to kill you?—"ics; she said it nasty- I John Thomas Greenaway, farm servant, sa'/i he mid seen tne 1 it tl e girl six or seven t-inies in t'1— crying, saving that her mistress had been beating her. He had seen defendant beating her once. On these T, o-ccasions JI) s had been away. By Mr. Benson: When he saw her with I the "black eye, she first said she had run against a nail, then that she had run ao-ainf^ a churn, ar.o then that her iristrees h3d beaten :ier Mt. Benson Which of those thr*> stories did you believe.—-I didn t believe either of them. The defence was a denial of the charge, and a submission that all the bruises on the girl were caused by a cow kicking her. The 'giil, said the defendant, was of dirty habits and given to telling untrnths. Defendant and Mrs. A#ma Thomas gave evidence. Mr. Bereon submitted that, anart. from thi bruises, there nvas no evidence such as was ordinarily given in neglect cas- s no evidence cf starvation, insufficient food or clothing. The girl's story -was an extra- ordinary one. If Mrs. Jones had used the ordinary one. If Mrs. Jones had used the I poker as described by the little girl. S6,e 1 would hav3 been standing there on a charge JI of either manslaughter or murder. But if the. girl was not to be behoved in that parti- cular statement, what about her other state I me.nts? He submitted that her evident had been shaken by that of other witnesses I They had the fact the child had been knocked down and kicked by a cow, which was suffi- cient to account for the bruises.

SIR JAMES HILLS-JOHN ES IN "I' SWANSEA. OPENING OF THE UNITED SERVICE BRIGADE INSTITUTE. ENCOURAGING SPEECH: SYMPATHY WITH THE OLD SOLDIERS. INTERESTING PRESENTATIONS AND PROCEEDINGS. The new institute of the Swansea United Service Brigade, in Alexandra-road, was formally opened Thursday evening by Lieut.-General Sir James Kills-Joixnes, V.C, G.C.B., amid much public enth-uiasm and some martial show. the Brigade, in- cluding many veterans with Crimean, mdian Mutivty, an<l other medals pinned to neir brea,t £ leli in to the number of over a hundred, at the old headquarters in Wind- street, and headed by the Swansea lolice liinl, under Director Mr. W. Courtnev, marched in procession to the new premises. The gallant General, who wore the badge of the Brigade, of which he is the esteemed president, rode with hi6 Worship the Mayor ltr. Gwilyoi Morgan) in Col. Wright's maguincent motor car, and the Colonel and Major Chas. Wrigh; followed behind in a carriage. Col. LI. Morgan and Capt. Strat- ford Burton (1st G.V.A.) were also present, having driven up just before. In Alexandra- road there was a good muster ot the Church Lads' Brigade, of which Col. Morgan is couiuii ndant, the companies present being St. Gabriel's, St. Mary's A B and C, York- place, All Saints'. Ivilvey, and St. Thomas, whilst the officers on parade were Senior Donaldson (r: command), Capt. L ng- ham, Capt. D. W. Bird, Lieuts. G. B. Thorny, Thos. Thomas, and W.

The lade formed up on either side 0: the roadway, which was thronged with people, and General Sir James Hills- Johnes, an arrival. wats taluted by the young brigade," an i cheered by the oubac. Commandant Ciias. Miggc-, who was pro- haoiy the proudett man present, Council'.ore Dame: Jones and H. G. Solomon, Mr. Joseph Hail. Mr. David Davies (editor, "Daily l'ost"), Mr. S. R. Thompson, and otners were outside the new institute, where tne Mayor, in a few suitable remarks, asked Sir ,'a.u.es' acceptance cf a beautifuily-char-te *e> with which to open the new head quaiteio of the Brigade. Inside, the General, who seemed delighted with the spick and span appearance of the institute, under the .charge of Orderly-room Sergeant -1-- Sand well and his good lady, was ftiown round, and then from the games' room win- dow or t he first tioor the assembled ero d Wa.5 addressed. The Mayor had great pleasure in asking Genera. Sir James hi ills-J ohnes to open th* new institute, and spoke of the pnde that ^•as felt at the sei vices of the Oid soldiers being rtsocnised in that way. The majority ol tueu. iiad seen active service, and it was pieasing to know that in the evening of 1 their <J;iys they weie enabled to meet to- get he- for their mutual good, and talk of tne cijys that were gone by. (Hear, hear.) Out pure gratitude for the services of those no Die fejiowo he, as chief magistrate, felt that it wai, his bounden duty to do the uttie he could in helping forward the move- ment. (Hear, hear.) kfrfc^ral Sir James Hiils Johnes was en- thusiastically received on stepping forward o declare tue institute open. He said :— t great- pleasure to take a part in the opening ceremony of this Soldiers' and ore. institute, arid I feel much honoured at uavmg been asked to dc.dare it open. and eipecialiy honoured by the kind recep- tion given me by you, Mr. Mayor, by Col. I I and by other friends of the Brgade. ;i reception, 1 am sure, encourages one and all of us to persevere in furthering the welfare of the Brigade, which Commandant Maggs han so happily raised, ably agisted by nis adjutant, Mr Taylor, and his non- commissioned stan, and wrongly supported by tne patrons and vice-presidcnti of ID;- Lngaae. and last, but not least, by the ear c-o-operation and good behaviour of U'«mt>eis themselves.

In that the iielu .hui hiven to tliese oid and infirm si^^ant be satisfactorily carried ou a oenevcent fund has been started, *nd up to da.e warnily supported, not only by many members ot the Brigade, but by meeds in the town and district of Sv.aiieea. i trust tueee kind friends will continue their dona- tic-rn, and tnus shew tliat their appiovai i of thf good behaviour of the Brigade and th(, ir interest in the former service 'ts members has III 0 way diminished. In studying the annual report of the Brigade I learn that the first recognition of .Ile veterans of Swansea was a public dinner given to them in 1900, at which Colonel Morgan presided, and 80 veterans weie pre- tent. Similar pleasant meetings took place yearly up to 1904, the number of veterans steadily increasing. Coninnaixliani Ma-'gs then conceived the admirable idea of formms a brigade ot veterans, thereby securinc a respoi sible and well-behaved body of 2>en to s*re..gthon h6 appcQjls for employment of retired and reserve soldiers and saliors- the chief object for winch the Brigade -as iorm&d. The happy occurrence of H M the King's visit to Swansea in 1904, enabled C-oni-ri- z ndant Maggs to obtain H M. sanc- tion for a parade of veterans. Three hun- dred under his command were inspected by His Majesty, who kindly expressed his pleasure at seeing them. His gracious re- "cognition of the good services of these veterans gave the movement the d«:red impulse, and Commandant Maggs, taking advantage of it, has enrolled 250 members, and liaii obtained a number of distiiigukhed patrons, headed by Field Marshal H.R.H. the Duke of Conravjght—(applause)—also a good list of influential and liberal vioe- prtsidents and frierds. Before closing my tpeech I would draw your attention to the somewhat unfurninlied condition of the rooms of the institute, and aJthough no appeal has been suggested to me, I cannot but express a hope that everyone present who has not already subsCTibed towards the furnishing fund will kindlv do so now, either in kind or money. To you, Mr. Mavor, and all present, I tender in the" name of the Brigade our heartiest thanks for vour kind support this evening. I trust" the warm interest you have always shewn will abide strongly in your lieartg. and that you will continue to assist Com' mandant Maggs by your personal influence as well as by your gcn-crouc; donations to CcJrps funds, to carry on the good work he Ilk" brought to a succassfu] 'Issue, To OaptAii. Cojquhoun, for haying *> Kw<], permitted the Pohoo Band to PIay for thJ Brigade this evening and to each member of the band, to tb*- members of the Te'e graph Messenger Band to the Comma od- ant and to the bovs of the Lads' Brigade for the part they have taken in this cere' manv, and to the members of the Wo-kintr Men's Club, for their very friendlv set in giving the Brigade tne use of their rDOmå for their quarterly meetings and other meet- ings. our heartiest thanks are given. One word more of thanks and praise to you, Commandant Maggs, and to your staff." for the careful management of the funds of the Brigade, which haft enabled you to start this i,t' ;tiit,e. It will be such a comfort to vour men that you will. T am sure, feel fully rewarded for all the kind thought and care you liave devoted to this excellent object. Whatever financial assistance yon may require will, I believe, be readily given by the many generous friends of the Brigade. (Applause.) The gallant 0eneral then hoisted the Bri- gade flag and declared the institute open, ami- much cheering and the "preeent arms by the Lads' Brigade, followed by the 6ing- i- p of the National Anthem. Colonel Morgan called for cheers for the general and "three good ones." The response was very cordial, -md wav- ing his acknowledgments, Sir James uisap- pea-red into the building. A general tour was then made, and in the shooung range (provided by the generosity of Colonel Morgan), and which was in charge of Board Member N. Samuel, the hero of Delhi tried his skill with the air-gun, and found the edge of the bull. Sir ames had the satisfaction of knowing that he was not beaten either by Colonel Morgan or Captain Burton, both of whom also hit inners. In the reading-room the general was confronted wit.i a fine enlargement of himself, and hen VK gave one or two autograph mementoes of his visit. An inspection of the Church Lads' Brigade followed, and then a move was made to the Working Men's Club, Sir James pausing on j the way to express greetings with Band- master Courtney and the members of the POce Band. In the spacious clubroom were assembled the veterans who, having duly saluted, were next inspected at the hands cf the general, d then the proceedings took the torm of a presentation meeting. Sir James presided, and was supported by the donors and others already named. The President congratulated the Brigade, and hoped they would always be looked up "■J thvir soorietv and good conduct, and thus be an honour to the regiments to which they formerly belonged. (Hear, hear.i He thus be an honour to the regiments to which they formerly belonged. (Hear. heax.1 He then (at the request of Adjutant A. E. Tay- lor, on behalf of the Brigade) presented Com- ma.ndant Maggs with an enlarged portrait cf himself and a beautifully illuminated ad- dress, Le latier setting forth an expression of the personal :.ttachmest of the members for the commandant and a warm apprecia- tion of his services in bringing about tne new Institute. Reference was also made of the fact that Mr. Maggs had served in the Abyssinian war, where he was me^itionsd in despatches. (Applause.) In a few words, Adjutant Taylor said the gifts were nothing compared to vhat ciight to be given their n commandant. Commandant kaggs, who was very oor- dialiy received, suitably replied, and in re- ferring to the opening of their "nattytle Institute," acknowledged the generosity that had been shown towards the movement from "the general down to the humblest member of the Brigade. His had been a labour cf love. When he found in 1900 Mr. David Davies, of the "Daily Post," gather- od together at a dinner, through the i-ind- r of friends, under the first presidency of Colonel Morgan, about 30 old soldiers, he was determined to see if he could not estab- lis a permanent home for them, and he had j but tried to do his duty. (Hear, hear.) The illuminated address would remain in ms family, he concluded, but the portrait tie presented the Institute. (Applause.) Colonel Morgan proposed a vote of thanlcs to Sir James Hills-Johnes for kindlv coming | there, and remarked that be and' his oro- thers were esteemed by their fellow-officers in the Army and in the affections of the British soldier. And now that ue general hid retired .all of honours, which be so well deserved, he even took an :"terest in i -e old soldiers. (Applause.) The Mayor seconded, and said Sir James v i* one of those who had made the British Army the onde and beast of the world. (Hear, hear.) The vote was accorded with acclamation. In acknowledgment, the President, who In acknowledgment, the President, who was again loudly cheered, said it was a pleasure as well "as a, outv for him to be there—a duty to the old soldier. (Hear, hear). He had seen him in the field in sickness and in a good many ways, "and give ms a good British soldier—you cannot beat him." (Applause.) Colonel Wright moved a similar compli- ment to the Mayor, who, said the colonel, had stamped the new institute with Swan- sea's stamp, and showed that Swansea thougnt of its old soldiers, and, he believed, would stand by them in not only keeping the institute as good as it was now, but help to make it some Jay or other better and bigger. (Hea-r, hear.) As to the bene- volent fund, if the members themselves subscribed to it, they would find many people in the town would assist them, and in other remarks b3 ga- e to Mr. Maggs the whole of the credit for the success v. the institute. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Joseph Hall seconded, and said he was quite sure the Mayor's heart was in the work, and that his Worship desired that the institute should be a great suc- cess. (Hear, hear.) The motion was carried enthusiastically, I and the Mayor, in reply, remarked that talcing the great bulk of the old soldiers > they had a splendid specime" in Swansea of them. (Hear, hear). 1 At this stage letters of apology were an- J nonneed from Major Sinclair and the Vicar of Swansea.. It was also stated that Capt. I Burton had become a vice-president, and t the gen-arosity of Col. Morgan in present- 1 ing the air-gun saloon was acknowledged, f Further, Mr. David James, who had as- r sisted nobly, had consented to give the use of the Mumbles Pier for a carnival next s month. h. Quartermaster-Serg^. A. Hinder here sang "The Boys of the Old Brigade," and was I encored Mr. Harry Rogers accompanied. I 1r. David Davie.s was well received on rising to propose thanks to the President, vice-presidents and donors, and said he thought he ought tD throw a "txxl deal of feelins" into the resolution, because he was one O' the rice-presidents. (Laughter.) As far as his own part in the movement was concerned he wanted to clear their minds and say that ever since Mr. Maggs had taken and moulded the organisation his (Mr. Davies') function had simply been a decoiative one, as he honestly believed that if the thing was to succeed it ought to be worked exclnsivelv by ex-soldiers and ex- naval men. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Maggs createI the organisation, and all that was required was to secure the aid of the mem- bers and suocesc was assured. (Hear, hear.) And he thought the best possible testimony of their sincerity had come that night, by their latest achievement. (Hear, ,'iear.) Everv meeting he had attended was to cele- bruU3 some new development. It was said that the first idea of it was through the dinner at the Mackworth, when about 80 were present. In point of fact, he did not think they had oki soldiers present that time. Co!. Morgan took the chair, and they knew that the Colonel had an absolute a.b- horrence of'anything like speechifying that ti*-y «>cld realise whit 2ra. titude they owed him for c^,n ing thera. (Laughter.) But what. I ;Mr- Davies) wanted to sav w*s that they had attained the end which was desirable and highlv creditable to them as a Brigade. It begun m a very mod<*a, SOrt of way, and grew and grew. but the little dinners were only functions of a night. The men were dieorganised—conscious of being a few separate un It,but under the influ- ence o: those HttLe dinners they were now the solid body that they ought to be. (Ap- plause.) He remembered that two old men met at that first dinner who had since ;.ass>ed awav tc- their last long rest. Thev met and shook hands and exchanged reminiscences They had not met siiwv the battle of Bala- clava. The last time they had met- before was or. the battlefield, and they were here, living in the .same town, unconscious of the existence of each otbe-r. That little func- tion brought them together, and if it had done nothing more, it showed it was a most desirable and most noble object. (Hear, hear.) He thought the Brigade, as it. was now, was the organisation that they dreamed

of years ago--a body of self-respected men. proud of their past as soldiers in the SeT. vice oi theisrSovereign—men who bad cle- termined to be LT"U to themselves ajid to their regim«nte. (Hear, hear.) He behevad every man in the Brigade was a better man for being a member of it, and he beheved that collectively they stood higher in Swan- sea tc-day than ever before. (Hear, hear.) That wa.s something to be gained,'and it- was one of the prime objects of the vhoie movement to bring the public knowledge of the fact that they had amongst them men who were entitled to public recognition and public gratitude. (Hear, hear.) That had been done, and he did not think it would be possible for anybody to live in Swansea and forget that there wa, such an institution as the United Rervioe Brigade. (Hear, hear.) The moveinent was bound to grow. and as they made it a success so it would extend to other towns. It was just now a borough matter, but it wouid become a truly national movement. (Hear, hear.) They desired to thank the donors, not only for help financi- aliy, but for something of infinitely greater value, and that was the coming forward and identifying themseIvies with the Brigade and thus making them selves a part of an organisation which could only exist with the public respect and approval. It was gentle- men like the President, Col. Morgan. Mr. Joseph Hall, Col. Wright, and the others on their list tlia-t be referred to, and they could look back upon that gathering, feel- ing justified at what they had done, because it was a credit to the Brigade, the character and conduct of which was also a credit to the donors. (Applause.) Board member Mr. J. P. Jones, who put IIn a word for the sailors, seconded, and the resolution was carried with acclamation. Major Wright moved a vote of tbanb to the Coanmandani and staff of the Brigade, and felt they had had much to do with the opening of their new institute. (Hew, hear.) Councillor Solomon seconded, and asid that thongh a life-long teetotaler, he was glad the Board of Management had taken the broad view not to exclude intoxicants in their comforts. (Hear, bear.) The vote was hearily accorded- Adjutant Taylor replied. Quart ^master J. T. Mason moved, Mid Sergt. A. 0.

General Sir James Hills-Johnes was the first great soldier from the outside who came to help them. He set the example. and others could follow with advantage, and he (Mr. Daviee) tho-uglit they, as a Brigade, begaD to be respected the night they brought the gallant General to Swansea. (Applause.) The National Anthem was then sing.
