A firm of fruiterers carrying on business in Chelsea was summoned by the Board of Agricul- ture under the Merchandise Marks Act for applying a false trade description, to wit "English" Tomatos, to goods exposed for sale.—Evidence was given to show that the tomatoes came from the Canaries, and it was urged by the prosecution that cases of this kind are numerous. The defendant, who pleaded guilty, observed that during the quarter of a cen- g tury that he had carried on his business no sugges- tion of improper trading had been made against him. He told the inspector who asked whether the fruit was English that it came from Teneriffe and maintained that there could be no real deception since no one could expect Tomatos at this season at 6d. per pound.—A fine of £10 and J612 12s. costs yore imposed.

MERRIE ENGLAND" AT CARMARTHEN
MERRIE ENGLAND" AT CARMARTHEN GORGEOUS PRODUCTION llie long-looked-forward-to performance of "Merric England" came off at the Assembly Rooms on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evening last. It' was not a matter of wonder that the hall was packed, for the members of the Carmarthen Ama- teur Operatic Society have by this time earned a well-merited reputation. When the curtain rose the audience were confronted with a striking pic- ture of the good old English manner of celebrating May Day. The crowning of the May Queen was prettily done, the Queen deporting herself well. She chooses Long Tom and Big Ben 118 her two champions and the former is already in love with JiJl-all-Alone, a reputed witch. The entry of Jill, whose make-up was perfect, was striking, and when greeted as a witch by the crowd the acting 10 was exceptionally fine. Jill's impersonation was such as would evoke the admiration of even Watts- Dunton himself. Walter Wilkms (a player in Shakespeare's Company) next came on, and fairly brought the house down with his humorous oham- pioning of Shakespeare's masterpieces. The pass- age in which the May Quen discloses her jealousy of Jill was superb. The entry of Sir Walter Raleigh and his lady-love, Bessie Throckmorton, followed by the Earl of Essex, was fine and worthy of the courtiers of old. At the instigation of the May Queen, Jill is harshly treated, and the manner ill which Walter Wilkins backed out of protecting Jill was most amusing. However, Essex rescues her, and in return he is handed a paper found by her in the forest, and which turns out to be a love- letter written by Raleigh to Bessie. Later on Queen Elizabeth enters in State accompanied by her attendants. Wilkine aeain appears upon the scene, and this time his bravado results in his being pitohed into the Thames. Soon afetrwards he re- pears bearing unmistakable signs of the immersion, and the sudden chill thus contracted was most amusingly portrayed. The May Queen again ac- cuses Jill of witchcraft. Esse* produces the letter which drives Queen Elizabeth into a slighted fury, in whioh she condemns Jill to be burnt as a witch, BfflBiie to imprisonment in the castle, and Raleigh to banishment from Conrt. Here the players were really great, and the impersonation absolutely life- like. In the second Act the curtain rises upon Jill in the depths of Windsor Forest. She and Bessie have esaaped from the Castle by a secret passage known to the former. Presently the masquers come in and Wilkins again gives a fine di.^pla*- ot humorous acting which was most highly apprecia- ted; but a pretty stiff piece of work to do indeed. Queen Elizabeth confers with an apothe- cary with a view to obtaining a secret drug to poison Bessie. After the Queen leave*, the apothecary turns out to bo her jester. This was well done. Essex however by a ruse eventually manages to work upon the Qul}l.n'jj feeling w.th the result that all are par donod and ends happily with the play of Robin Hood 8 wedding. It must, suffice to say just now that this is generally accounted the best of the many performances which the society have given we hope t. deal with the matter at more length next week. In the meantime everyone concerned lit the pro- duction is deserving of hearty congratulations. The following was the caste:—The Earl of Essex. Mr. W. J. Williams; ir WTalfc>r Raleigh, Mr. P.

It is to be hoped, however, that the present competition will b'» of a more sporting nature than the previous one, and that the decision of the adjudicator will be received with good grace.

THE RAILWAY STATION".—On several occasions, we have called attention to the need which exists at the railway station, viz., a footbridge to cross the line. but the authorities have not moved in the matter. Several improvements have been carried out. for wJiich we are thankful, but the townspeople ought rot ta be satisfied until a bridge has been erected between the two platforms. On Friday evening, as the last train from Aberystwyth was steaming into the station, a man was seen crossing the rails in front of the train, deaf to all entreaties. It is marvellous how he escaped a terrible death, and those on the platform were horrified. If this fool- hardy fellow had lost his life, probably it would rouse the authorities to a fetMC of their duty, but in order to prevent any risks a bridge should be erected at once and thus put a stop for ever to foolish pranks. The man deserved A good flogging for his foolish and rwckles? action, but until a bridge is erected the pre«"i«t crossing must be used. If a bridge be erected, anyone crossing the rails could be sum- moned and punished severely as a warning to others. I CHORAL FESTIVAL.—Preparations are being made for the deanery festival and catechising of Sunday School", which will be held at St. Peter's Church on Wednesday. June Wth.

--NEW QUAY
NEW QUAY SUCCESS.—Mr. Tom Arthur Jones, Marine-terrace, ha" passed as assistant clerk 1Jl the Civil Service. He was formerly a boy clerk and is heartily con- gratulated on his success. CHBAK DISTRICT COUNCIL.—A specially convened meeting of the Council was heid on Monday even- ing to draft out a reply to a letter received ruin the Local Government Board and which appeared in our last issue. There were present: Messrs. George Davies vm the chair), Evan Lewis, J. L. Jones, Evan Evan. Captaii: Jenkin Thomas, David Davies, and the Clerk. h. J. W. Thomas. The Chairman explained that the committee which had been appointed to or.iit out the reply had failed to agree as to its purport and it was nenoe considered prudent to convene a special meeting. After a lengthy and an unusually heated discussion the fol- lowing reply wu. approved .1 :—" In reply to your communication of \la[ch 23rd re the proposed water scheme, I beg to state thai vhe question has had the full consideration of my Council and herewith beg to inform the Board that the majority of this dis- trict are directly averse to any elaborate water scheme. To prove this, I beg to reter you to the result of the last Council election, when a Council was returned with but one exception to resist in every possible way any scheme that may be thrust upon them. The Council as representatives of the ratepayers feel bound to resist the St. David's well scheme owing to the cost of the undertaking and the satisfactory supply now existing. The burden of the expense would be more than the ratepayers can bear under the pffent circumstances.—(Signed) J. W. Thomas, clerk." DEATH.—The death occurred on Wednesday of last week of Mr. Thomas Jenkins. Tawelfryn, Maeny- groes. at the age of 40 years. The funeral, which was largely attended, took place on Wednesday afternoon, burial being made at the Maenygroes Churchyard, the officiating ministers being the Revs. W. Griffiths (pastor). E. Aman Jones. B.A.. and J. T. Evans, Glyn-Ne>ath. The deepest sympatny is extended to the relatives in their sad bereavement. WATER SUPPLY.—The note of warning given in your last isue has fallen upon deaf 1 ears. The threat of action by the Local Government Board and County Council L. openly derided by the Urban Dis- trict Council, and they are quite easy in their minds. This water question ha.s been a hardy annual for the last 21 vears, and, like the former threats, this is but a. little spume to be carried away by the breeze. The cry has been '"more rates." nothing about the waste of health and strength; nothing about the steady drain of infant life: and a record oi 28 deaths to 14 births in 1913. Year after year the district medical officer of health has told the Council that their children are drinking liquid manure. Seemingly they are content that their children should do so. The district, it is said, is poor and cannot afford to pay ld. a week for water, so legal advice will be sought to prevent, if possible, this expenditure. No lack of funds to oppose. In reply to the County Council's letter of 30th January last, the District Council wrote that they had an approved scheme by a competent engineer to bring- water from Ffynon Ddpwi, and only required financial assistance. At a public meeting held on 31st March—the ev of election day-the councillors present stated that it was within their knowledge that this letter had been sent, but they did not agree with its contents. Yet out of nine council men six are publically avowed opponent" of a water scheme. Of what value can the County Council put upon their reply? Presumably it was meant as a blind. The statement forwarded by ratepayers to the President of the Local Government Board has been sent to the Urban District Council, thus putting them on their defence. The indict- ment is heavy and consists chiefly of statements made by Dr. W. E. Fletcher. medical inspector for the Local Government Board, and these statements are supported by the medical officer of health for the county and L rban District of New Quay. In the f-'ce of this indictment what-fire the intentions of the Urban District Council of New Quay? Time alone will solve the problem. A report of the Council meeting appears elsewhere.

ALLTTRODTS CELEBRATIONS.—Mr. Davids, Hen- bant HaH, stated at the above luncheon that he would like to say a few words as churchwarden of Capel Dewi. He (the speaker) hoped that Mr. Stewart would take up the office so long and ably held by his grandfather. Speaking on behalf of the members of the church. Mr. Davies thanked the hon. family of Alltyrodyn, and especially the great and good man, the founder of the Stewart dynasty in this district. What I have to sav is well-known amongst us. so few years having elapsfed since we were deprived by death of his good services as warden, which he invariably car- ried out in a truly Christian spirit so meek and unassumng. thus realizing the ideal of the Chris- tion church that inside the church all rftembers are equals before God in his sanctuary. The late lamented Capt. Stewart undertook, at his own ex- pense, the re-building of our stately church, whioh i < to-day deemed by experts to be one of the finest of its size in tn" dioce^. with its conveni- ences and decoraton, and the three grand memorial windows, together with the 13paitiftil pipe organ, so suitable to the or Jhe .di'irch. All of which must have cost him many thousands of pounds: and last but not least he in=i^t"d upon bearing all the expense of cleaning and heating the church, and also for keeping the churchyard in good order up to the day of his death. So under the circumstances we can be excused for revering his memory. I am sure I am expressing the great pleasure of all my neighbours in being here this afternoon at the invitation of the Hon. Mrs. Stewart and the young Squire upon this auspicious occasion, which occurs once in life to wish him a long and happy life in his malted pos^ion. and to express our hope that he may be guided by a kind Providence to emulate the deeds of his lamented grandfather who. I might mention in passing, had the good idea of having St. David'g and St. John's made into an ecclesiastical district with an incumbent of its own. and had he been spared for a few more years he would have ren- dered great assistance in carrying the project through. But now the matter muct be nr.c!c-taken by others. In conclusion I beg to thank the young < Squire and his mother for this opportunity of ex- pressing our appreciation of the late head of the family, and our hope that the present head will follow in his footsteps, and to wish him a long life and great prosperity.
