Dog Show at Carmarthen. The annual show of dogs waa held at the Carmarthen market on Thursday, the 11th inst. Mr David Jones, Swansea, judged the important Welsh terrier classes and Mr L P 0 Astlov all the other classes. The adjudications ot those gentlemen gave every satisfaction. Mr J F lieos was the veterinary surgeon and Messrs F W ("av illin(I If Coysh were ring stewards. The yard stewards were, Messrs A. 0 Norton, A. Hadley. Mr L Junes; W. Vincent Howell Thorn as, Martin Davies, Superintendent Smilh, Messrs J Olive, and J Burgess. There was a good show in all tho classes, 4,1 the Welsh terrier section justifying the enterprise of the committee in providing a special judge for them. Fox terriers were tho strongest class in the show Mr W V H Thomas scored well in beating Prince," who carried off the championship at Strabane, Ireland, a fortnight ago. I- ID The pointers were a fair lot, and the winner won easily in coat and head. In the setter class the firft animal was a nicely marked bitch the second was a good bitch, who, however, carried herself very badly. Retrievers were very scarce, but the winner was a very good dog, who carried himself well. Mr Roberts won the first prize in the greyhound class with a nice black bitch, which had a good shape body, nock and head. Mr Thomas's (Paris House) General Picton" had a well shaped body, and ran tho winner very cloie. Black spaniels were a strong class, and the first prize bitch won because she had a well shaped body, and so pleased the judge that he awarded her a special prize. Pencaer Hess" made a good second. Spaniel-, any colour, brought four competitors into the ring. The winner was a good liver dog the second was a black and tan, and both dogs were properly placed in order of merit. The winner of the smooth fox terrier (dog) class was a well-known winner, and carried off the prize easily; the second aLo was a good dog and deserved second honours. In the fox terrier (smooth) bitch class the first and second prize winners were old prize winners. A very good typo of a terrier was the winner of the fox terrier (dog) class. The fox terrier classes were well contested, and all of the winners were excellent dogs. The Irish terriers were a select lot, and the winner was a very promising puppy, which captured the first in this class, and in the other for Irish terriers who had never won a prize before. "Coxy Ben" was a fine specimen of a Welsh terrier with a good body, legs and feet, and captured the first prize in a well- contested class. Bull Terriers as visual turned up well. The winner "Dude "was a large dog with plenty of bone, but some would rather have seen Greenfield Jumbo" placed first. Long Sight Goneral" a black and tan, carried off the prize in the next class, the second being a tan, and tho third being a Scotch terrier. A very nice pug won the first in the toy class, whilst the second poizûwilluer was a black pomeranian. In the St. Bernard's class, the winner stood well out and won easily. The coileys again wero a fine lot, and White Heather simply walked away with the prize in Class 22. This is a grand dog, which excells in head, coat, and carriage. The second dog had a nice head, but was rather out of coat. In the Colley Bitch class, tho prize went to an old winner who is a black tan, and white dog. There was a good assortment of Sheep Dogs, by Sir Visto" was an easy winner The Sporting Puppy Class was the most difficult class in the whole show, and so level were the dogs that the judge divided the first, second and third prizes betweeu Rowdy Raffle," 11 Burrows Bruce," and Mr T. Pearson's dog. The secretorial duties were admirably discharged by Mr C. Haydn Williams and Mr Evan Morris. Nothing which they could do for the good of the show was left undone their energy aud tact contributed greatly to its success. Appended is the

I Carmarthen Borough Police Court. MONDAY.—Before Mr C. W. Jones, Pen- llwyn Park (in the chair); and Mr T. Davies, The Quay. THE TRELECH TROUBLE. Mr J. D. Evans, relieving officer, applied for a maintenance order against William Howells, Croesffordd, Trelech, in respect to his wife, who was chargeable to the Carmar- then Union. Mr Rowland Browne appeared on behalf of the Guardians; and Mr James John defended. The Bench expressed their opinion that the case ought to be settled, and Mr Browne and Mr John retired to see if they could not agree as to terms. A LAME HORSE. Inspector Styan, R.S.P.C.A, Carmarthen, charged John Evans, farm servant, 15, Cambrian-place, Carmarthen, with working a hcrse whilst in an unfit sntte. Herbert William Price, Ystradwrallt, Aber- gwili, said On Wednesday, the 6th of July, I was driving from Queen-street to King- street, when I passed a milk-cart. I noticed that the name John Thomas, Thornhill, was on the cart, and I reported the matter to the police. There was only defendant in the cart at the time. Inspector Harry Styan said: On the 7th of July from mfoimation received from the police, I went to Thornhill. I there saw a chestnut cob, which was lame in the near fore leg. I afterwards saw the horse in the Forge, and saw its shoe off. On taking off the shoe, I noticed there was a corn on the inside of the heel, and matter squirted out of it. The horse was in good condition. I saw defendant and told him about the com- plaint. He said Yes, I know it was lame when the gentleman saw it. I didn't notice anything the matter with it, when I came out this morning." I again called at Thornhill, and saw the animal. It had been shod with leather. The Chairman The fact of the horse being shod with leather showed nothing. Horses with tender feet for instance, are shod with leather. Witness I believe the horse has been "reated since. Defendant was fined 2s 6d and costs. TROUBLE AT TEMPLE BAR. James Isaac, carpenter, Temple Gardens, tvas charged with this offence. P.C. Thomas Davies said On Monday, .he 1st of this month at a quarter past eleven it night, I was called to a disturbance in Fern pie Gardens. In the passage I saw iefendant with a crowd around him. He vas cursing and swearing, and abusing the andlord of the Temple Bar Inn. I weut )n to him, but his son tried to take him away. [ threatened to lock him up, and he went vith his son into the house. I did not see lim after. Defendant—Was I kicking up a row ? Witness—Yes, you were. Defendant—What! I ? Didn't I show you 1 stone ? Witness I don't know. Defendant—Well, how did Humphreys iave a black eye ? Witnes--I don't know. Defendant—I came from the house, and here was a row there. I was not out at all. [ had no money to get the drink. I am fond )f a glass of beer, to tell you the truth, but is for being drunk, I was as sober as I am low. Witness I have no doubt that you were irunk. Defendant What public-house could have eeti open at a quarter past eleven at night? b The chairman: Have you any record igainst defendant, Supt. Smith ? Supt. Smith He's been here eight times before. Fined 5s and costs or 14 days. EJECTMENT. Mr Charles Edward Davies, chemist, King-street, applied for an ejectment order igainst John Davies, 16, Wood's-row. Applicant said that he was the represent- ee of his mother, deceased, Mrs R. M. )avies. Defendant's tenancy was a weekly me. The rent of the house was 5s per veek. Applicant had not received any rent ince lie had become agent from the 14th )f March last. Defendant was still in )ccupation. They had given him HO reason vhy they did not pay. Defendant's wife—I am willing to pay the ent. Mr Davies will not take it. Applicant I have not received anything rom you I only want you to leave the louse. The Chairman We make the usual irder, and that is that you leave the house rithin 21 days. MOVING PIGS. Samuel Evans, Parkyberllan Cottage, ishermap, was charged with removing four tigs without a declaration. P.C. Thco. Richards proved the case, and Iefendant was fined is and costs. Daniel Phillips, Pistyllgwyn, Newchurch, or removing five pigs without a declartion, ras, on the evidence of P.C. Phillips, fined s and 8s costs. SUNDAY DRINKING IN CARMAR- THEN. Mrs Fanny George, of the Cresselly Arms, ras charged with a breach of the Sunday b Closing Act. Mr James John was for the lefence. Superintendent Smith said On Sunday norning, the 7th inst., at a quarter past leven, I heard the door of the Cresselly nn, King-street, which is kept by defendant, •pen. A young woman put her head out nd looked up and down the street, and in a hort time a little girl of 10 or 12 years of ge, named Lizzie Thomas, came out from he house and walked across the street to Conduit-lane opposite. I noticed she was arrying something under her cloak, The hild was scared, and I asked her to come )ack into the public house. At the door asked her to open her cloak, which she lid, and in her hand I found a quart of resh strong beer. The Chairman Was this the same girl hat came and looked up and down the treet ? Witness also said I knocked at the door wice, and heard movements as though tcople were moving about. The son of the lefendant then opened the door. I asked tim why he supplied this little girl with jeer. He said, I sent her with it to the voman who washes here." Defendant was leaf; that is why I spoke to him. In tnswer to me he said, The little girl is my iiecc, and lives on the premises." I found L man, a stranger to the town, on the premises, but I did not take his name. I hen said I would report the case, and left he house. Mr John Were you standing in the ;treet ? Witness Yes. I saw her in the street, Unless a person looks out into the road I -ould not see him. The party looked up instead of down, and did not see me. George told me when I went in that the beer was for the washer-woman. Some years ago there was something known against the house. Mrs Margaret James, wifo of David James, labourer, 15, Mill-street, said: I work occasionally at the Cresselly Arms. I go there every Sunday morning for the purpose of cleaning up after the Saturday. It is usual for me to have an allowance there. I did not have my allowance on Sunday week because Mrs George was not down. I asked the little girl if she would bring it down to me, and she promised me she would. She did not bring it down, but came down about dinner-timo, and told me tho reason why. I had it OIl Monday, but I did not pay for it. I am in the habit of taking what I have homo for my dinner. By the Clerk I sometimes have about four pennyworth or a quart of beer between Saturday and Monday. I did not take it away on Saturday because I wanted to work somewhere else. I was working until 12 o'clock in the Coffee Tavern. Elizabeth Thomas, grand-daughter of defendant said I was taking the beer to Mrs James, of Mill-street. That beer was allowance. She is always having it. Mrs James had been working in the house that morning. My granny did not go out from the house. My grandmother keeps the keys of the cellar. I went down to Mill-street under the wall." I wanted to go the back ? way because I was dirty. I went through Spilman-street over the Quay, and up pass the Foundry. I turned up a lane by Crossman's. I, went down to Mrs James after dinner, and told her I was caught, and that was why she did not have her beer. By the Chairman I am not in the habit of taking the beer. She always takes it herself. Z, She is there every Sunday for the last four months. I was dressed when I went dinner-time. Mr John having addressed the bench, Lizzie Thomas was recalled, and said she was 12 years of ago—going on 13. She had not beou talking about the caso to either defendant, Mrs Jamos, or her uuclo. Defendant had told her to come to the court to tell the truth. Mrs James was in the house the previous day. The Bench then retired, and after an absence of five minutes returned. The Chairman said there would be a conviction, and the defendant was fined Li and costs.

Cycling. An electric motiT h;is been built in Texas, weighing less than a tenth of an ounce. At a cycle parade held at Wandsworth in of the local hospital, an accident occurred, which re- sulted in the death of two men, while three had to be taken to the hospital in a serious condition. Cyclists who may journey to London, and are anxious to avail themselves of the opportunity of visiting the British Museum.will be glad to leftcl-I that the authorities have made provision for the storage of cycles. The Autumn Number of the Dunlop News has seen the light, and the Dunlop Co. at 100, Clerkenwell Koad, London, E.G. will be pleae-ed to forward a copy free of charge to anyone applying for same. A cocksure youth in North Wales saw a warning on a hill near Denbigh and smiled siipeveiiiously. He also took no heed of the sboutre of ¡xt<:c:ers bv, but rushed on to what those that knew the hill felt must be certain death, and their fears were fulfilled, for lie foil against a wall and was instantly killed. A well-known spot where the dang-v notice is disregarded is the descent at Wrotham on chief road to the seaside through the county of Kent. In addition to being steep and long the hill at itH foot enters a narrow witti houses close huddlell together, and the residents have become so used to accidents that they petitioned the Home Secretary to place a limit on the downhill speed permissible. Another hillside community, great!v disturb'd by the descending cyclists who sweep through midst, have passed a resolution iu favour of making it compulsory for all cyclists to dismount and walk down. Of course they have not power to cnforc-j so absurd a proposal, but that is their view of the only possible cure. When life sawing warnings are disregarded utterly what other restraint will have effect? The cowardly cyclist who causes an accident and then runs away is the subject of much anathema in the general press, but his counterpart when driving n carriage or cart is less vehemently com- mented on. Why? At Nottingham County Court a lady recovered £ 13 damages from a carter who ran her down, and left her, but the howl of indig- nation has been practically unheard, yet the fellow was particularly callous, and the case well proved. The cart driver was on the wrong side, and gave no room to a lady rider, whom he upset by entang- ling the step of his cart in her wheel. X ot con tent with this, he drove on, with the jigger dangling on the step, and not until he was pulled up by a policeman who saw the whole affair, did lie make any attempt to stop. And to crown all, in court, he pleaded that the lady was only a beginner What a nice gentleman Not many more weeks, and Autumn will be upon ns, the season of the year when roads —especially those covered with trees-become greasv and treacherous to riders. Perhaps it is at this "period that non-slipping tyres are most useful, for with smooth covers it is with the greatest diiffculty that riders succeed in keeping up right. If any of our readers intend having non-slipping bands fitted to their tyres we would recommend them to purchase the Dunlop-Welch which has always proved to us most satisfactory as a non-slipper. Probably one of the most interesting Counties in England is Kent, and at the present time the cyclist who is fortunate enough to have the time to spare to explore this part ot our fair islands, is to be en- vied in the amount of enjoyment, he would get out of a trip through the county. Just now the hop gardens are at their prime and a little later on these gardens will be brightened by that section of human- ity who gain a good living by picking the little flower which goo", to make up our supply of beer. Thus the very thirsty cyclist would doubtless find Kent doubly interesting. Cordung, always strikes us as one of the most remarkable men on the racing path. He has in- jured himself on many occasions while either train- ing or racing, and that often very seriously. Yet one sees liini out and about again, as active as ever, and as eager for the fray, in about a quarter of time that it would take anyone else to get well The writer had a chat with the plucky little Dutchman the other day, and a feature or the conversation which ensued, was the very light way in which Cordang referred to his several spills. He is a marvel to say the least of him. At one time when Robert Lowe, M.P. was about the only Member of Parliament who rode a cycle down to the House, the others members all looked upon the popular" Bobbie" as, weU, just a trifle "wrong in the upper story." What a contrast now, to be sure At the present day it is possible to see a perfect stable of machines stacked in Palace Yard, the property of C'cliii!- Times have changed indeed since the one solitary 11 ordinary used to lean against the wall of the House, and the march of progress has even induced Parliamentary representatives to follow the lead. What a wonderful thing is the cyjle, when every- thing is considered, and how useful lias it been in all branches of business and pleasures. At one ihno every phase of t was wrapped, as it were, in its own surroundings, yet nowadays the cricketer cycles to his "pitch;" the footballer does the same; the lawn-tennis player follows suit, and the oarsman finds cycling a pleasant relief from too much work on the water. Indeed the more we look at our pastime, the more convincing is it that the cycle is absolutely indispensable. Before long we are likely to see a very genuine game of cvcie-polo introduced into this country, something in fact entirely different from the so- called game which a party of Americans brou"ht over or "o The real be played as near the original as it is possible to do it with the exception of course that the, eyeb, will take the place of the One thing is certain that the new game will require much mere skill and precision than the style which the Yankees adopt of banging a ball with the front wheel.
