BARRY LIBERAL AND RADICAL ASSOCIATION. THE SERVICES OF THE LArE SECRETARY. PRESENTATION OF A SILVER TEA SERVICE. On Saturday evening a number of the members of the Barry Liberal and Radical Association met at the Dolphin Restaurant, Barry Dock, for the purpose of acknowledging the services of the late secretary, Mr J. Roch, by the presentation of a handsome service of plate. The President (Mr S. G. Travers) occupied the chair, and he was supported by Mr Walter Morgm, the candidate for the division Mr W. Graham, late president; Councillor Morgan Thomas, Liberal agent for the division; and Dr. P. J. O'Dunnell. The members and friends who were present included the Rev W.Williams, Councillor D. Morgan, and Messrs R. T. Evans, J. O. Davies, T. Beynon, Tom Evans, T. Thomas, J. Stephens, J. Griffiths, &c. Mr J. Roch, who came to this district in 1890, was the first honorary secretary elected by the Barry Radical Association when it was formed about six years ago. Some time after- wards that Association was amalgamated with the Liberal Association, when Mr Roch acted to the combine as assistant secretary. He was, however, soon promoted, and up to the time of his being appointed the town's librarian was an untiring worker, devoting himself to the mastering of the intricaces of registration and general electioneering work. The President having briefly mentioned the reason of the gathering together of the mem- bers and friends of Mr Roch, felicitous speeches were delivered by Councillor Thomas, who spoke of the pleasure it gave him to see that the Association was about to recognise the work done by the late secretary in a very fittiug manner, and how the late secretary bad denied himself in order to make himself thoroughly master of his work by Dr O'Donnell, who instanced the signal victory gained by the Liberal Association at the last County Council election as largely due to the energy and determination of Mr Roch, and by Messrs R. T. Evans, Tom Evans, J. O. Davies, and Rev W. Williams. Mr Boch and Mr Graham having been associated together as president and secretary, it was appropriate that the latter should make the presentation, which he did in a very neat > and graceful speech, to which the favoured > recipient responded at length, thanking those I who had assisted and encouraged him during J his secretaryship a neat review of his late ) position being heartily applauded. Alderman Walter Morgan finally made a few I remarks touching upon the purpose of the t assemblage, at the commencement of which he f expressed the genuine pleasure it gave him to j be present. Gratitues was one of the first i characteristics of mankind, and ingratitude the i basest, and the poet was right when he ) wrote:- [ Blow, blow, thou winter wind, i Thou art not so unkind ? As man's ingratitude. He was proud that it was an Association of I oifUibers who knew their duties to their fellow- men. He was also pleased to be present to testify his appreciation of Mr Koch, though he f had never before ht-ard of making such a present to a bachelor. (Laughter.) Alderman 1 i Morgan concluded by wishing Mr Roch long 1 life and prosperity, which closed a pleasant meeting, it having gone off with a smoothness rarely attained at Buch ceremonies.

What are you looking at ? Don't look at that bit of paper. You were paid your wages in full up to that time ? When did she discharge you?

The Barry Dock Temperance Mission. A FAREWELL MEETING. On Thursday evening in last week the Rev D. Lee Cann presided over the final meeting held in connection with the Barry District Free Church Council Temperance Committee, at which Mr T. W. Glover has been the principal speaker. Mr Glover gave a farewell address, wkich was listened to with much interest. The lecturer re-capitulated many of his former subjects, and urged the meeting and the tem- perance workers on in the great cause. The Secretary of the meetings (Mr James Cruise) also spoke, and thanked everybody to whom the committee was beholden for assist- ing in making the visit of Mr Glover a success, especially the trustees of the chapel.

BARRY DISTRICT NURSING ASSO- CIATION. NEW SCHEME OF REPRESENTATION. The monthly meeting of the Barry District Nursing Association was held at the Nurses' Home, Woodlands-road, on Thursday afternoon last, Major-General Lee presiding. The mem- bers present were-Mr J. Arthur Hughes (hon. sec.), Mr J. Spargo, Mr Paterson, and Mr R. N. Davies. It was announced that the railway servants, to the number of about 700, had agreed to con- tribute one penny per week towards the fund. They had also written asking whether the com- mittee would be prepared to allow them to nominate a representative. The existing scheme of representation was therefore altered. It now provides that the committee shali consist of two representatives to be appointed by the District Council, two by the Trades' Council, two by the Friendly Societies' Council, two by the medical staff of the hospital, three by the District Ladies' Committee, and that any person or number of persons acting collectively be entitled to nomi- nate one member for the year following for each lum of £100 subscribed. By this scheme the Graving Dock employees and the Barry railway servants are entitled to representation on the committee. The Executive Committee also have power to co-opt three members. It was felt that thie scheme would be of great benefit to the town. Ten applications have been received for the appointment of nurse, which was deferred to the next meeting.

Barry Class Teachers' Association. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE. The adjourned annual meeting of the abovt Association was held at Holton-road Boys' Sobool, Barry Dock, on the afternoon of last Saturday week, when the chair was occupied by Mr F. T. Kingston, the president. The chief business transacted was the consideration of the neeesitary qualifications for admission into the Association. It was proposed that only fully certificated teachers be admitted; but eventu- ally, after a long discussion, in which Messrs Bennett, Kelly, Peach, Smith, and Wiukett took part, it was decided to admit all assistant teachers without distinction. The Association thought that such a course would promote social intercourse and friendly feeling amongst the diffet-ent olasses of teachers. The President afterwards delivered his annual address, for which be selected the pressing question of School Attendance," and in the courae of a carefully compiled and elaborate address he pointed out that every day the schools of England and Wales were open, about a million children absented themselves, or about one-fifth of the total number of children of school age, tor whom places had to be provided out of the ratepayers' mdney. Comparisons were drawn between rural schools, some with their average attendance as low as 50 per cent., and town schools, some of which could boast of an average attendance of over 90 per cent. It was again pointed out that, as regards school attendance, Wø.lt's, with its aver- age at of 75 per cent., was a bad third," when compared with England and Scotland. Among the chief causes for this poor attendance, the following were set forward as being the moat important:—Employment of children during school hours, soml ti III es even by the School Board members themselves in the rural parts of the country; unwillingness of magistrates to prosecute except by the enactment of trumpery fines, which were nothing when compared with the earnings of the child during school hours apathy of the general public who, as yet, do not seem to realise the great harm done to the future generation through neglecting the edu- cational needs of the present; and negligence of the parents, some of whom cared more for the immediate gain of a few pence than for the future welfare of their children. It was shown that these children, who escape the meshes of the educational laws, sooner or later develop* into corner-boys and jail-birds, who are after- wards a burden on respectable soeiety. The speaker called attention to the great waste of time caused by these regular irregulars; the hindrance to the progress of the regular children the waste of energy and time in teach- ing on account of the constant repetition neoes- sitated by the presence of irregular children in a class and the loss of uniformity of progress which is so essential to effective teaching that will be of real benefit to all the children in a class. It was instructive to hear, although the truth may not be pleasant, that the ratepayers of Barry have to suffer to the extent of about £1,000 per annum through the irregularity of school attendance. Mr Kingston said that to remedy this baneful evil, it would be necessary to inflict more stringent fines on the employers of children during school hours and on negligent parents; to invest the attendance officers with more power; to set apart a special time, or to establish a special court, for hearing attendance cases; and, above all, to educate public opinion so as to remove the present apathy towards all things educational.—Mr Kelly proposed a hearty vote of thanks to Mr Kingston for his able address, which was seconded by Mr Wickett, and supported by Mr Peach. They all testified to the great need of improvement in school attendance throughout the country. —It was decided to support the candidature of Mr W. C. Jenkins (Swansea) at the next Executive election, and correspondents were elected in each school to interview the teachers on his behalf.—This concluded the business of the meeting, and the members adjourned to tea, which had been prepared by the staff of Holton Infants' School. This was followed by a social evening, during which the fallowing sang:-Miss Wiiiter, Mr J. H. Morgan, Mi.,¡, Lizzia Morgan, Messrs Harris, Martin, and Morris.

FOOTBALL NOTES. 1. ASSOCIATION. [BY ATMLITI. It was like a patch of green in the desert, an oaiiis to the tired eye of the Bastarn traveller, to hahold at a feetball mateh on Saturday a number of ladies. The match I refer to was that betwosn the picked teams representing Swansea and Barry school boys, who played at the Buttrills Field. • • • The ladies were there, and, of course, made critical remarks as the game progressed. Remarks whioh discovered their nowl knowledge of the game. The ladies were the teachers of the Barry youligo-ters, and had come to ancoorage them with their presence. This was so effective, that the boys won by three goals to one. Mr Quayle, one of the heme teaehers, acted as referee. m Play waa moat exciting, aud a wholesome, lively, boyish game was witnessed. T. Lewie and Chamberlain seored for Barry, and Turvey for the visitors. a • At the conclusion of the game, tha League match between Haved and the Unionist Reserves com- menced. Havod kicked off, and went straight at the goal. With an effective dash the ball was put right through, and five minutes later it arrived a second time, Daviee, for Havod, scoring both. This was the start. < a As may be imagined, the Barry teem were a little surprised. They were a bit dazed-proosca pied, aud one member iterated and reiterated that he had not had a chance with the ball, mildly insinuat- ing that should he do no, there wonld be 80 more aeering at that end of the field. < e • However, the home beys leon buekled down te business, and before long showed their superiority. An attack was made On the Havod goal-keeper, and he sucoumbed, Jack Thomas sooriug the first goal. Once warmed up the play beeame more earnest and exeitiog, and when Wineh added another, it was seen that the criaie had been reached, and that there would be a stiff fight to the finish. • e Restarting Barry dashed, as their opponents had done before, and Lowrie scored number three. The most viKeurous attack which the eastern coal has yet suffered this season was now directed against it. Towards the elose of the game the baU was never farther then the 25 line from the pests. The game was thoroughly well played, and the excite- ment of the spectators was intensified by the splendid way in which the Reserves tackled their oppeaents. They allowed nothing to pass them, and before the cloee J. Thomas had again | scorsd, and little Ticb, the beme boys thus finish- ing victors by three goals. The final seore was five te two. The home team, without exception, played well, and deserved their victory, a hara-fought battle being well won. On the other side more than one showed they were not in form, except, perhaps, in their eagernees te kick the ball. • The premier team viaited Aberdare, and had their colours lowered, which is unfortunate, because Aberdare started with only ten men. When in their full strength, the hill men showed their suptrioiity, and Sutton had to make use of all his knowledge and skill as a goal-keeper. In the first half the top of the League settled roaad the Barry goal, bombarding it with some terrific shots, only one of which, however, passed Sutton, just before the call of time. a • Upon the reatart, Barry again lost the ball, and saw it, as before, the plaything of the heme team. The second half saw the climax of a very hard played 6(ame, and Thursby saved the honour of the visiting !eam by scoring near the call of time, the Aberdare men beating them by one goal. • Among the Junior matches those between the Barry Junior Seconds and Woodland Villa-score, four goals to nil; and Woodland Villa and Travis- sfreet United, by which the United won by one goal to nil, were the most iaiportaut.-Cadoxton United were to have playt-d the Island United, but the latter team not appearing, they played the Beeends, and wea by seven goals te eae.

BARRY DOCK POLICE MONDAY. Before Colonel Gcthbie and Mr Lasckllis CAM. Very little was dene at Monday's Police-court, which is surprising seeing the exciting and enthu- siastic way people, end eepeoially those likely to appear before the magistrates, have been enjoying themselves during the past week or no. 1 iXTiNSley. Mr G. Hobbs, manager of the Windsor Hotel, applied for a five hours' extension on the 19th inst, the occasion being a dinner and dance in honour of St Patrick. Granted. OKILDRBX IN THE DOCK. Maud Osborne, 14. living at 22, Main-street Lionel Thomas, 2, Old Mill-road and Arthur Willisana, 4, Old Mill-road, all of Cadoxton, were severally proceeded gainst for stealing wood, the property of Mr Ben Thomas, estate agent, Barry Dock, from a stable in Old Mill-road, Cadoxton.- Police-constable Thoms and Mr Thomas proved the eases. It was shown in the evidence that though the children took the wood, in the form of planks, valued at about 15s, part of the joists of the building were taken away, evidently the work of older hands. Having heard the evidence, the Chairman strongly censured the parents, who appeared in ooort, and said that they were more to blame than the children. He wanted them to notice that the' defendante were each bound over in the sam of SIO, for six months, to ceme up for judgment when called upon. He waa sorry they could not get held of the boys who were the principal offenders. A FATHIB. Arthur Williams, father te Oliver Williams, applied for a certificate exempting him from vaceiuating his bey. Applicant had a conscientious objection to vaceination, aad his application was accordingly granted. SCHOOL ATTSflDAf!CS. Mr A.

Richard John and Thomas Hughes were each fined 5s for a like offence. A LIGHT DRUNK LIST. We have before referred to the surprising facti that though the news of the surrender of Krager and the relief of Buluwayo has caused any amount of jubilation among the good people of Barry Duck, very few appeared before their woranips to Buppert a charge of behaving in an ucaeemly manner while under the influence of excitement. Those who were fined for this were Frank Watkms, Ueorge Bitchell, John Mitchell, Thomas Mo(ire, Artiler Elias, and John Powell, 7a Od Fred Jenkins, Robert Stone.

I SPECIAL FOR THE RESERVISTS' FUND. i On Saturday evening the Romilly Hall was crowded to its utmost extent by an audience from all parts of the district. The occasion of this was t an entertainment organised for the benefic of the local Reservists' Fund, and if one is to judge by the number present the fund will receive a very ) substantial amount from the committee. It would be impossible to give any name to the entertain- ment, although it was ostensibly a limelight show, with scenes fiom the Transvaal as its principal » ittraction. The platform was an arsenal, contain- ing a very miscellaneous asiortment of warlike eapons and o her things. The fore-part of the stage was battl -mooted, and adorned with flags. It was armed with kl aki-coloured guns, and many fie,rce-lookitigindividuale-local volunteers, sailors, a company of the Boys' Brigade, and several old veterans. One scene was especially apt at the present time. It represented Britannia surrounded by soldiers of our gigantic Empire. This scene Aas productive of much amusement. Everybody seemed to be on the qui vive. Soldiers and sailors, guns and flags, all on the move, made a very ani- mated scene. It looked very much like the capture > of Pretoria. The scenes from the Transvaal which were put upou the screen were humoursiy described by Dr Kelly, who patriotically pointed out the units of animated Nature who belonged to Ireland. Dr Keily's good humour was a great factor in the success of tue entertainment. Another good thing was Mr Waters thrilling description of how Bill Adams won the Battle of Waterloo. This was a treat, aud received due recognition. Quite another form of amusement was that provided by Mr Cornelillii Power in an exhibitiou of club swiuging, which was magnificent, and loudly applauded. The r,citing of The Revenge by Mr Thomas was an exceptionally good performance. There were many other features ot this many-sided concert," aud a large number of ladies and geutlsmen kindly helped in making it an unqualified success. Ameng I them were Mrs Crockford, who sang Killarney and Dear Old Wa',es," Miss Emanuel, who im- personat,d "Britannia," and Messrs Hunt, W. Evans, and Francis, who sang Kipling's poem, f,ich realis,(i El 13,¡ 2d for the A.M.B. Fund. The evening concluded with the sinking of the t National Anthem by the whole of those in the [ building.
