ENTRE NOUS. '
ENTRE NOUS. [BY "THE SUB."] I have heard the question raised as to why, if the Urban Council desired to intervene in the appointment of the local Magisterial Clerk, it did not do so at the annual meeting instead of assembling specially for the pur- pose. The reason is simple the subject did not originate with any committee and the Council had consequently no power to deal with it in the absence of a notice of motion to that effect. The news of the impending retirement of Mr. WALTER L. WILLIAMS from the repre- sentation of Fishguard upon the County Council will be received with general regret. He has proved himself an able advocate of the claims of his rapidly-growing constituency and, if his efforts on our behalf have not been crowned with so great a measure of success as we could have hoped, the fault lies solely in the absence of a colleague to support him. It is, therefore, gratifying to learn that an attempt is about. to be made to secure additional representation for the town. I Surely claims which have long been conceded by the Council so far as the Board of Guardians is concerned, can no longer be disputed on its own behalf. The motion of which notice is to be given will unquestion- ably receive the unanimous support of the Urban Council, and it is sincerely to be trusted that the members of the superior authority will freely and generously recog- nise that recent changes in the northern part of the count justify a redistribution if not an augmentation—of its representatives. Apropos of MR. WILLIAMS' services, it will be recollected that he took an active part in the agitation for the diversion of Dinas Hill, but that his efforts proved without avail. The provisions of the Budget now occupying the attention of Parliament afford, however an opportunity of re-opening the subject, in- asmuch as a portion of the proposed in- creased motor tax is to be allocated for the improvement of main roads. I understand that Alderman G. B. BOWEX, J.P., of Llwyn- gwair, contemplates raising this issue at an early date, with a viev to securing a modifi- cation of the gradient of this most dangerous declivity, in which course he may rest con- fidently assured of the whole-hearted support I not merely of Ir. WALTER WILLIAMS but of all his colleagues living to the northward of Abergwaun. My attention has been directed to the un- satisfactory state of the path upon Park-y morfa, leading to the ruined fort, which, is in places so obstructed by breast-high gorse as to be practically impassable. Considering the manifold attractions of this walk, and that Fishguard's prosperity is largely depen- dant upon the extent to which it caters for the enjoyment of its summer visitors, it will be generally conceded to be high time. that some steps Were taken to ensure reasonable access to one of the most noted beauty spots in the locality. Into the vexed question as to whether or not there exist a right of way at this spot it is not my intention to enter, but I am confident that some modus vivendi might easily be reached whereby the path- way might be cleared ere the advent of Whitsuntide. An hour's work with a prun- ing knife would amply suffice and I commend the matter to the earnest attention both of the Council and of Mr J C YORKE, J.P. Let them follow the precedent quoted by a cer- tain rogue and vagabond yclept Shakespeare, emulate the example of the Mutines of Jerusalem," unite their strength, force an en- trance—then fight who shall be king of it ? ? ? w The desirability and feasability of estab- lishing an annual dog show on the banks .-of the Gwaun is being mooted, and deserves the careful consideration of all fanciers. There can be no doubt that, if held during the sum- mer season, it would prove a loadstone to augment the number of visitors to the town, whose very presence would serve as a guar- antee of its financial success. Many smaller places in the county have set the example with gratifying results, and I am satisfied that it but requires someone to take the initi- ative for Fishguard to fall promptly into line. ? ? w i* We Fishguardians are noted for knowing all about our neighbour's business—frequent- more than he does himself-and it is, there- fore, somewhat remarkable that news of what is happening in our midst should first reach us from London, via Cardiff. Yet that is what has occurred in connection with the record thousand-mile trip of a taxi-cab, which recently crossed fiom here to Rosslare. This is probably attributable to the fact that the vehicle failed to attract attention by reason of its strong resemblance to a private conveyance, many of which now reach the Emerald Isle by means of the new route. i S i; I I am, at last, in a position to write author- atively upon the question as to whether or not a member of the Territorial Forces is entitled to attend a political gathering whilst in uni- form. My readers have been gravely assured by a correspondent who professes to have an intimate acquaintance of the King's Regula- tions, that those enactments contain no prohi- bition to this effect; yet I find that paragraph 451 of the Regulations for the year 1908 reads 11 as follows :—" An officer or soldier is forbidden to institute, or take part in any meetings, dem- onstrations, or processions for party or political purposes, in barracks, quarters, camps, or their vicinity. Under NO circumstances whatever will he attend such meetings, WHEREVER HELD, in uniform." Comment would, under the cir- I cumstances, be superfluous

Fishguard's First 11 Taxi." Crosses to Rosslare. Thousand-Mile Trip. The eminently practical Yank" is not slow to realise and utilise the unrivalled facilities possessed by Fishguard as a cross- channel port, though, as might be expected, he adopts unusual means of demonstrating his appreciation, as witness the case of Mr Charles Klein, an American playright who, outside the Savoy Hotel in London, hailed a motor-cab driyer named Churchman, who now holds the world's record for a cab-drive having indulged in a jaunt of over a thousand miles through England, Wales, and Ireland. Southampton said the fare, and Church- man headed his car for Hampshire as un- questioningly as though the word had been "Piccadilly-circus. "We put up the first night at Southampton," said Churchman, telling his story to a representative of the "Evening News." "Afterwards we drove to Bournemouth, up to Bath, Gloucester, Hereford, Monmouth, Carmarthen, and after visiting several places in South Wales we reached Fishguard." At Fishguard," he continued, the cab was taken on board the steamer, and we crossed to Rosslare. From there we wept to \Vaterford and Cork, and on to the Killarney Lakes. We returned to Cork, which we made our headquarters for a few days, touring in the neighbourhood. Eight days after I left the Savoy Hotel we arrived at Queenstown Here Mr Klein left the cab and caught the boat for New York. I crossed with the cab to Liverpool and drove it back to London, reaching home ten days after I started. The weather was fairly good most of the time, and I had a most en- joyable holiday. I had never been in Ireland before, but what I noticed about it chiefly was its bad roads. The cab is the ordinary type used for the London streets, and al- though in Wales and Ireland I went up some of the stiffest hills I have ever seen, I had no difficulty at all in mounting them. During the whole ten days I was stopped once on account of mechanical troubles, and that for ten minutes only. I had no punctures and only used my lowest gear on one occasion. Mr Klein, who owns and under- stands motor-cars, chose a Napier because he wished to see what an all-British cab could do."

Piscatorial.—Good baskets of whiting and other fish are being caught nightly on the renowned whiting bank. Boating.— Since the advent of Spring 11 weather boating has been indulged in practically every night by parties starting from the Lower Town Harbour.—On W ed- nesday evening of last week one party had a decidedly unpleasant experience, owing to the unexpected setting in of a heavy swell which prevented them from returning to Lower Town Harbour, despite all their efforts so to do. Ultimately, at about eleven o'clock at night, after having been drenched to the skin and experienced many narrow escapes from being swamped, they succeeded in beaching the boat on Goodwick sands, where they left her. Commercial Chatter.— Messrs Blackburrie and Owen's new grocery premises at the corner of Main and Hamilton streets will be opened for business to-morrow (Thursday). —Mr Joseph Rees, fruiterer and fishmonger, has acquired the premises in Main street for- merely occupied by Mrs Campbell, and in- I tends opening them for businesss as soon as structural alterations now in progress, have been completed. Messrs Evans and W R Carver acted as solicitor and auctioneer respectively for the vendor Maritime Matters.—Mr D J Jones, of Lower Town, chief officer of the Westward Ho, « reached home on Saturday.—Mr John Owen, of West street, who recently returned from a twelve-months' Australasian voyage, left on Monday morning for Bristol in order to rejoin the Homelea," which, after loading at Car- diff, will proceed to the Mediterranean. New Petty Sessional Division.—A largely- attended meeting of magistrates resident in the Kernes and Dewsland Petty Sessional Divisions was held under the presidency of Mr J C Yorke in the Town hall on Thursday morning for the purpose of making the pre- liminary arrangements in connection with the creation of the new Fishguard Division. The proceedings were private but we under- stand that it was decided to advertise the post of Clerk at the temporary salary fixed by the Standing Joint Committee, it being agreed, by a majority of one vote, that a knowledge of Welsh, whilst not to be treated as an essential qualifications, would be re- garded as a recommendation in filling the office. It was arranged that the sessions should be held monthly, the day chosen being 'I'll u rsday.- Kemes Petty Sessions will be held in the Court House, Newport, on Tues- day afternoon. Partnership. We are informed that Messrs D John and J Griffiths have lately en- tered into partnership with Mr Rees Thomas (Royal Oak) and Mr J D Phillips (Letterston) and the newly-formed firm have secured the contract for the erection of a fine new house for Mr W D Griffiths, Castle Stores, at the top of High Street. Dog Stiow.At the Haverfordwest Dog Show on Thursday last Mr H W Thomas' (Jordanston) Sealyham terriers took the spec- ial prize for the best Sealyham dog in the show bred and owned by exhibitor. Mr W T S Tombs' dog took a prize, as also did some dogs exhibited by Mr Chambers, Glyny- mel. A full report of the show will be found in another column. Tennis.—Play has commenced for the sea- son upon the Fishguard Tennis Club's Courts near Brynymor. Parish Church. In consequence of St Mary's Parish Church being in the hands of the cleaners, no services are being held in the sacred edifice this week. Tabernacle.—The yearly meetings at this place of worship were held on Saturday evening, Sunday, and Monday evening, the preachers being Principal T Rees, M.A„ Bala-Bangor, and the Rev. D R Davies, Rhydyceisiaid. At each service the sacred edifice was comfortably filled with a most appreciative audience, which listened with wrapt attention to the stirring and able dis- courses delivered. May much good attend their efforts. Obituaries.—We deeply regret to have to to record the demise, who occurred on Sun- day evening of Mrs Phillips. relict of the late Mr Lamech Phillips, an old and highly esteemed resident of this town. The deceased who is a sister of the Rev J D Symmonds complained of feeling unwell on Sunday, and passed away as stated somewhat suddenly, to the grief of her relatives, with whom the utmost sympathy is felt on all hands. Wedding.—A wedding took place on Mon- day last at the Registrar's Office, Pontypridd, the contracting parties being Miss Mary A Reynolds, Hendrewen, Fishguard, and Mr Daniel Jenkins, of Clyn, Fishguard. The bride, who was given away by Mr William Jenkins, was prettily attired in a dress of pale blue trimmed with lace and hat to match. The bridesmaids were Mrs D Davies, Har- court-terrace, Penrhiwceiber, and Miss Jenk- ins, Ferndale, who were dressed in cream costumes with hats to match. The best man was Mr David Davies (postman). After the ceremony the party returned to Harcourt- terrace, where the wedding breakfast was partaken of, and where a very large number of guests were entertained to a sumptuous repast. The happy couple were the recip- ients of a great number of useful and orna- mental presents. Grand Concert.—We desire to direct the artention of our readers to the advertisement which appears in another column of the grand concert in aid of the funds of the Fish- guard Choral Society which is to be held in Hermon Chapel on Wednesday the 26th inst. The proceeds will be devoted towards defraying the expenses of sending a choir to compete at the Nationial Eisteddfod in Lon- don, and it is earnestly to be hoped that the patronage extended to the function may be equal to that which it merits. Subscriptions will be thankfully received, and tickets may now be purchased from the officials and mem- bers of the Society. Plan of chapel to be seen with Mr H B George, chemist, the ener- getic hon secretary of the concert, and at the Echo Newsagencies. Book your seats early Domestic Economy."—Under this head- ing there appeared in our last issue an article —culled from the columns of the Narberth Weekly News"—in which reference was made to the appointment by the County Education Authority of a Miss Thomas, of Narberth, as an instructress in cookery and laundry work. It was therein stated tnat this lady's experience and qualifications gave her a great advantage over the other selected candidate, who happened to have been Miss M E Thomas, daughter of Capt and Mrs Thomas, of Angorfa, Fishguard. In justice to the latter lady it should be stated that the successful candidate's only superiority lay in the fact that she had had two months' actual experience as a teacher. Our young towns- woman is to be heartily congratulated upon the remarkable progress which she has made in her studies, for it is a highly creditable achievement to have secured second place in open competition for so important a post. Social.—A highly successful social in aid of the Piano aud Library Fund of the Coun- cil School was held in the Temperance Hall on Friday evening, the attendance numbering upwards of seventy. An excellent programme of dance music was very kindly furnished by Mr Sydney J Pitt, the duties of M.C's. being tactfully discharged by Mr R E Williams. (solicitor), and Mr J S Thomas, B.A., (County School). Cards and other games were pro- vided for the non-dancers, whilst all were provided with refreshments—the gift of var- ious generous donors-the tables being ably presided by Mrs 0 D Jones and the Misses Edwards, Aldridge, Monk, and Davies. The whole of the arrangements,which were in the capable hands of the Misses A E Edwards, and E E Monk, gave unqualified satisfaction, and the function, which secured the patron- age of several members of the Board of Man- agers, was declared by all participating to have been one of the most successful of its class ever held in the town. We understand that arrangements for holding a cafe chantant in aid of the same deserving object are already under consideration, and that a definite an- nouncement in connection therewith may be anticipated at an early date. Panteg.—A very successful concert was held at the above place on Wednesday last. The Chair was taken by Mr V J G Johns, Manorowen, who kept the audience in a humourous mood throughout. The accom- panists were Mrs Perkins, Hendrewen, and Miss Howells, Fishguard, who discharged their duties very efficiently. Mr Blackburn also very ably accompanied several of the songs'on the violin, which gave a graceful effect. The concert was of a high standard, each ariiste giving undoubted satisfaction. Owing to a lengthy programme it was con- sidered advisable not to have a repetition of any item. The usual votes of thanks ter- minated a rare musical treat. All those who took part were afterwards invited to Hen- drewen to partake of Mr and Mrs Perkins' hospitality, where a very pleasant company assembled.
Saturday Scenes.
Saturday Scenes. Batch of Goodwick U Drunks."

An interesting lot of Welsh manuscripts which are at present in the National Archives in Paris, are about to be published for the first time. They were recently personally transcribed by Mr T Mathews, M.A., of Llan- debie, a member of the Carmarthenshire Antiquarian Society and Field Club. The manuscripts include bulls from Pope Urban VI to Richard, Bishop of St. David's, in ad- dition to copies of the original documents translations of the same into English will be given, as well as phototype facsmiles and an introduction.
