AN INTERESTING MEDAL. It will be remembered that a few months ago Mr E. B. Sawyer obtained the first prize in the plumbing examination under the Technical Instruction Committee of the Ba, ry School Board, the prize being 13 in gold. Mr Sawyer has now received from the Worshipful Cow- I pany of Plumbers a massive silver medal, three inches in diameter and half-an-incb thick, enclosed in a glass case. Ihe medal weighs about 12 ounces. It is finely engraved. there being on one side a representation of St George slaying the dragon, wirh the arms of the Worshipful Company of Plumbers, and on the other the motto "Justice et Pax," an i "God is our Hope." Underneath are the words: First struck and presented fur excel- lence of workmanship. National Workmen's Exhibition, London, 1893." The medallist will, no doubt, treasure the fine souvenir.

An interesting fact was the publication of tJ?e ^08P«1 of St. John, bound in khaki, which had been distributed among the soldiers leaving this country, to the number of 89,000. Of this number a country lady had given 40,000.

■ ■■■■■. ■ « y .y ROYAL LIVER FRIENDLY SOCIETY. WALES CREATED A SEPARATE DISTRICT. PRESENTATION TO THE MANAGER. On Friday evening, at Barry's Hotel, Cardiff, a large company of ladies and gentlemen, many of whom are connected with the Royal Liv( r' Friendly Society, assembled at a pleasant gathering, preceded by an enjoyable dinner. The Society has of late made rapid strides in the Principality, and, as the wealthiest of its kind, deserves the support of all those desirous of making provision of a necessary character. Recently the Committee of Management decided to make Wales a district unto itself, and Mr Andrew Gardiner, of Cardiff,-& gentleman who has worked assiduously in the interests of the Society-its first manager. Advantage was taken by the agents and others who have been engaged with Mr Gardiner to present him with I MR ANDREW GARDINER. a handsome testimonial, consisting of an illu- minated address and a gold pendant, and Mrs Gardiner likewise with a handsome gold watch, while Mr p. Vickerstaff, another prominent official from headquarters, was also made the recipient of a valuable walking-stick as a token of regard and appreciation. The chair was occupied by Mr W. Harris, F.R.G.S., and that gentleman kept the audience delighted with his rare good humour in the conduct of the pro- ceedings. Amongst those who graced the gathering with their presence were Dr W. G. Owen, Dr and Mrs D. R. Jones, Councillor and Mrs E. Thomas, J.P., Rev A. McMillan, Rev Mr Forbes, Mr and Mrs A. T. Gardiner, Mr George Gardiner, Miss Forbes, Mr H. Cutliffe, Mr and Mrs W. H. Cross, Mr and Mrs J. Donoghue, Mr and Mrs George Hughes, Mr and Mrs Arthur Kidney, Mr V. J. Middleton, Mr Jack Harvey, Mr and Mrs Coleman, Mr and Mrs J. Gardner, Mr and Mrs Meazey, Mr Thomas Edmunds, Mr and Mrs Dorward, Mr and Mrs Deweran, Mr and Mrs F. Davies, Mr Frank Jefferies, Mr J. W. Bancroft, Mr Chapman, Miss Chapman, Mr Paradise, Miss Paradise, Mr and Mrs A. Gardiner, Mr P. Vickerstaff (inspector), Mr H. J. Cole, Mrs E. J. Cross, Mr W. H. Cross (jun.), Mr R. Smith, Mr H. Walmsley, Mr and Mrs R. Rogers, Mrs Durham, Mr Mark Lewis, and Mr William Harrop. Committee of Management: Mrs Bond, Mr W. Scott, and Mr and Mrs J. Whildon; C. G. Johnson, hon. secretary; Miss 8. M. Lewis, Ebbw Vale; Mr and Mrs W. B. Lyle, Mrs Edward C. Clapp, Mr W. Baxter, Mr T. J. Clancy, Mr and Mrs Case, Mr Gilbert Lyle, Miss Dora Grant, Mr and Mrs McPherson, Mr Harry Graut, and Miss Jennie Grant. Letters of apology, to the number of about 60, were received from, amongst others, Messrs W. Goldsmith, a member of the Committee of Management; Towers (Burrileigh), Sheldon, &c., &c. LOYALTY AND PATRIOTISM. The loyal toast was drunk with an enthusi- astic demonstration, the Chairman making a very appropriate and neat speech in submitting it to the gathering.—Dr. D. H. Jones gave The Active and Reserve Forces," and Dr. W. G. Owen (Barry), late of Carnarvon, replied.— Mr Mark Lewis, a prominent Welshman, sub- mitted the tua,t of Cymru Fydd," alluding in eloquent, terms to the part Wales had tnken, and is destined to take in all ranks of life, whether in religion, commerce, or education.— Councillor Edward Thomas (Cochfarf), who met witn a very cordial reception, declared in th. course of a fitting response, that all people resident in the Principality undoubtedly had her interest at heart. OUR GUEST." The Rey Andrew Macmillan, who gave this toant amid a scene of great enthusiasm, declared, as a minister, that he did not look among men or ttiooe who had wings to soar through the blue aware. He estimated a man's spiritual pr gress by that man's progress in his own family, and the sphere of labour in which God had culled him. No man could, in his sight, be an intensely just man, although attending the prayer meeting, if his children were found going barefoot, and his wife with a black eye. (Hear, hear, and laughter) Knowing Mr Gardiner, he could say that he did not come within a thousand miles of such. He felt proud of him as a Scottish Aberdeen lad, where they were bred looking at their mothers with the spinning wheel, and as the hum of its music spread, the children would start singing just as the Welsh children do. There parents had an indomitable ambition, not for themselves, but for their children. By the recollection of these things he was reminded of what had made Mr Gardiner's success. If, when he entered Cardiff, he had not a human being he could call a friend, he had plenty around him now, and be prayed God that when his work ceased in Cardiff, he could count upon so many more. (Hear, bear.) This was not only a tribute to Mr Gardiner's business aptitude, but to some- thing better; but the promotion could only come to Mr Gardiner, as it always should come to those who made their business their first concern. (Hear, hear.) To Mr Gardiner and Mrs Gardiner he felt sure that these practical proofs of the esteem of their friends would be a source of joy to them throughout the years to come. (Cheers.) The toast having been heartily drunk, the address and pendant (bearing an inscription) were handed Mr Gardiner, and the watch to appl^drddDer' 6aCtl graC8ful act beinS loudly The address read as follows:- To ARDRIW GARDINER, ESQ., District Manager for Wales of the Royal Liver Friendly Society." "DEAR SIR,-The &PPOintment of the first district manager for Wales 0f the RrVal Liver Friendly Society marks the development of its busies and the selection of its moac isuccessful ♦ P"!1 to lh>3 iinportaut P08t donoteg, not m dg" du« recognition of merit, but, furthermore a to accelerate the progrtw alraa'dv << Q lroughout the priucipaiity. recaid was m&nifestad to- »l,e p ,^y your election as our representative A nt. idUC Vie?OU,lcilef Union of ^11 Soci i rS °f —Iciest collecting F.wdy boci- ty m the kingdom- he fairest h«;uuur iu tmr po»#t to bentow. It is, therefore, peculiarly gratifying to observe the greater honour bestowed upon you by the Committee of Management, whose confidence in your abilities is shown by entrusting to your super- intendence the entire business of the society within the borders of Wales and, accordingly, we respectfully beg you to accept this permanent record of our heartiest congratulations upon your appointment thereto, and of our best wishes for your future career. The unswerving integrity and untiring energy which have created your unique success, serve us as a stimulus and an example and we trust that there will be rouohsafed to you continued health and vigour to pursue your onward course into the future and that Mrs Gardiner will always, as in the past, be enabled to rtnder you such aid and cheer as only a wife—God's best gift-can give. And that your path will ever be as the shining light is the prayer of Your fellow servants aod friends, Dr De Vere Hunt, Dr D. R. Jones, W. Arm- strong, W. Baxter, J. W. Bancroft, E. J. Cross, W. H. Cross, E- Case, F. Chapman, J. Coleman, C. Clapp, J. Donoghue, S. Deveraux, W. Dorward, T. W. Davies, A. E. Elgar, W. Edwards, T. Edmunds, A. T. Gardiner, G. T. Gardiner, R. C. Gerrish, J.

Mr Gardiner, in the course of his reply, said It would be an impossible task to attempt to express my feelings on this auspicious occasion, and I can do little more than say that my emotions are stirred to their utmost depths by the extreme kindness which has been manifested towards me by so large a number of colleagues and friends. My thanks are especially due to the energetic secretary of the presentation movement, Mr Johnson, and to each individual subscriber towards this handsome address. I cannot lay claim to having merited so unique a proof of their personal regard, although I am not conscious of having at any time behaved in such a manner as would tend to forfeit the esteem of my friends and fellow-servants of the Royal Liver Friendly Society. Eulogistic references have been made to my work both in the address and in the speeches which you, sir, and the other speakers have delivered, and I cordially appreciate all that has been expressed in that respect, because it is a source of pride to feel that a conscientious perseverance has attained, as it always does, a measure of success. Moreover, it is very gratifying to realise that one's best efforts are appreciated by those with whom he serves, no less than by his employers. The very kind allusions made to Mrs Gardiner please me beyond everything. Welsh ladies make the best of wives, and I must be pardoned for saying boldly that my wife is the best of Welshwomen. If my fore-bears have given me Scotch grit, my wife adds the Celtic warm-heartedness and enthusiasm which makes work easy and success enjoyable. As to the future, I can say no more than that, with the co-operation of fellow-workers, animated with a common desire to accelerate the progress of our Society, I am determined, so long as God shall spare me, to do my very best. The Committee of Management is composed of nine good men, and true, who never make a mistake—well, very hardly. I desire, in the most emphatic manner, to bear testimony to the capabilities of the individual members of the Committee of Management,—two of whom I am glad to see here to-night. Without doubt, the present committee is the best in every way since the formation of the Society, and, with such excellent leaders, we may well look forward to the Society making continuous headway in the future. On them alone rests the responsibility of entrusting men with a command of comparative importance and whether they have made a big blunder in so doing, time alone will tell, But there can he no question that the Society has not made such headway as it might, and would have done if the present Board bad been in office years ago, and with such an energetic staff of workers as 1 now have around me, I believe that the com- mittee are justified in looking forward to a considerable addition to the Society's business in the Principality, and if we can but persuade ourselves that we are the ones to do it, the result is certain. Again, I beg to thank most heartily the chairman, speakers, artistes, and everyone present and absent who have contributed towards the success of this gathering, and have done me so much honour. My aim shall ever be to retain their esteem, and to all my fellow- agents and collectors I would say, "'Tis not in mortals to command success, but we'll do more —deserve it." Mrs Gardiaer also made a particularly happy and appropriate speech in acknowltdgment of the presentation. Councillor Edward Thomas, after a few re- marks from the Chairman of appreciation of both Mr and Mrs Gardiner, then presented Mr P. Vickerstaff, from the chief office, with a handsome walking-stick, and that gentleman made a suitable reply. "ROYAL LIYIR FRIENDLY SOCIETY." The Chairman gave this toast, and alluded to its position of undoubted eminence in the kingdom, its beneficent objects, and anticipated a bright future for it in South Wales. (Cheers.) -Mr Harrop, one of the Committee of Manage- ment, first replied, and Mr Mark Lewis fol- lowed, and referred in detail to the immense progress made by the Society generally, no less a sum than 12 millions of money having been entrusted by the members to the management. (Cheers.) Mr Lewis spoke in highest terms of praise of the energy displayed in the Cardiff district, and notably by Mr Gardiner, who ranked with the most successful of the Society's agents throughout the kingdom, and added that in promoting him to the important position of district manager the committee anticipated still greater results in the immediate future. (Applause.) OTHER TOASTS. The Delegates" was proposed by Mr J. Whieldon, and was responded to by Mr Thos. Edmunds, estate ageut, who stated that the delegates were ever ready to support the Com- mittee of Management in all their efforts to develop the business of the society. (Hear, hear.)-The Chairman then announced that time was up, and that the pleasant proceedings must be brought to a close. He congratulated Mr Gardiner and all concerned upon the ex- traordinary success of the gathering, and thanked the artistes, especially Miss S. M. Lewis, R.A.M., and Madame Edward Thomas, for contributing so largely to the enjoyment of the proceedings. A vote of thanks having been heartily accorded to the Chairman, on the proposition ot Coun- cillor Thomas, seconded by Mr Mark Lewis, the gathering ended with God Save the Queen," ENJOYABLE PROGRAMME.

There was a great conflict of evi- dence by the delegates. Pontardawe agreed to visit Barry laat Boxing Day. The evidence was conflicting aa to the exact time the Poutardawo team ai rived. Thegamtt was fixed to commence at 11.30, but it was alleged that the visitors did not arrive till 12. Previous to that, the game had been declared off," and a £12 gate returned to the spectators. It was decided to defer the deci- sion on the matter till fuller evidence could be produced. • There was no fixture" iih first team on Saturday, and the only matches in the district consisted of those played by the junior team*.

=================== BARRY LOW WATER ENTRANCE. THE RECENT SUBSIDENCE. VISIT OF SIR JOHN WOLFE-BARRY ASCERTAINING THE CAUSE. Sir John Wolfe-Barry, consulting engineer to the Barry Railway Company, paid a visit of inspection to the docks on Friday, by request of the directors, who desired to have his opinion as to the cause of the subsidence on the east side of the deep-water entrance. It will be remembered that about three weeks ago a subsidence took place on the quay to the east of the deep-water lock, the wall of which bulged out to the extent of l bin. to the top diminishing to 3in. at the foot. Since then navvies had been at work making excavations in order to asoertain the cause of the subsidence and the bulging of the wall. They have cleared away a large area to a depth of about 20ft. Sir JohnWolfe-Barry's representative (Mr Brereton) has from time to time visited and directed the operations, and on Friday morning Sir John himself made his inspection. He was accom- panied by the company's engineer (Mr Bell) and ether officials, and a prolonged examination of the site and cloaely questioning the diver who had examined the botton of the lock and the wall, Sir John returned to London soon after mid-day. He did not express any opinion as to the cause of the accident, declaring his intention of making his report to the directors at the next meeting. It had been supposed that the pressure of water through the embankment from the basin or the dock had washed out the soil and forced out the wall. but the excavation shows that the subeoil is relatively dry and that water does not-so far as the depth at present reached ia concerned-pass through from the basin or the dock to the deep water entrance. Indeed, it is a subject of remark that this soil has been found to be so dry. With regard to the lock wall it is stated that the lower part is much narrower—probably not more than one-third the thickness of the upper part-and the opinion expressed is that the subsidence will probably be found primarily due to some fault affecting the wall alone, and of its becoming top-heavy owing to the iorcing of water from the deep-water entrance into the weep holes and its return into the lock when the water is suddenly lowered, washing out the soil hebind. For the present, however, no pro- fessional opinion is obtainable.
