Society anfc pcyeonaL It is being said by those who ought to know that the Queen has sanctioned the betrothal of Princess Victoria of Wales to His Serene High- ness the Hereditary Prince Earnest of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, Her Majesty s grand- nephew. The Prince is twenty-six, by no means a bad match financially, and issufticiently born to satisfy the most exacting of Imperial and Royal relations. Indeed, the Hohenbhe-Langen- burgs trace their lineage back nearly a thousand years, to Eberhard, Duke of the Franks, and brother to the German King, Conrad I. All the Hohenlohe-Langenburgs have large possessions, so that the stereotyped objection to another German alliance would not hold good in this case. V Neither would it in the case of the young gentleman, also German, whom match-making Dame Rumour assigns to Princess Maud. The Landgrave of Hesse, His Serene Highness Alexander, who is a nephew of the Queen of Denmark, is also the owner of large estates, as well as 225,000 a year from the German Govern- ment. The Landgrave is also six-and-twenty years old, so that in neither case would there be any disparity of age. At present, however, neither rumour is confirmed, although I understand that in the case of the Princess Victoria the matter is virtually settled. # Princess Maud is the one daughter of the Princess of Wales with a very decided will of her own, and she is tolerably certain to marry where she pleases or not at all. It was Princess Maud who, if one may credit what one hears, once settled the to be or not to be of a new dress in a particularly summary fashion, with the aid of a wax match. The Prince of Wales is really suffering from varicose veins, I am told, and is obliged to exercise the greatest care in moving. I am sorry to hear it, as it is a painful and dangerous ailment. Fortunately, the Prince can rest just as much as he need, although, to one of so active a disposition, idleness must be irksome to a degree. It is understood that after his visit to Homburg the Prince will be his daughter's guest at Mar Lodge for a week or two. It is said, "the clamour against the Royal grants has been a direct benefit to the Prince of Wales. A few days ago the Marlborough House post-bag brought his Royal Highness a registered letter, which, on being opened, was found to contain ten 21,000 Bank of England notes. They were accompanied by a dutiful letter, inscribed in a somewhat shaky Italian haud, and the gift was presumably a souvenir of loyalty from some wealthy spinster whose wealth exceeds the necessities of her life. I hope, for the Prince's sake, this story is true." # It is known that the Princess Sophie of Prussia has gone to much trouble to learn Greek since it was known that she was destined as the bride of the heir to the Hellenic throne. The Princess has made sufficient progress to be able to correspond with her fiance. In this connection an amusing story of the Emperor is told. His Majesty, wishing to ascertain the progress made by his sister, addressed to her a long letter in Greek. The Princess tried to read it, but without success, and she informed her brother that she was not sufficiently advanced in her studies. The Emperor laughed heartily, and said to his entour- age. I will send this letter to the Prince of Saxe-Meiningen, who is a distinguished Hellenist. We will see if he can read my Greek." Then with a sly look his Majesty added, It is a letter in German, with Greek characters." A new departure in coaching promises to be one of the novel features of next season, a lady having last week started the idea in the metropolis by driving a four-in-hand through Piccadilly to the astonishment of the public. We soon accustom ourselves nowadays to sights of this kind, and if, as is anticipated, lady whips exhibit a desire to drive coaches, we shall, I suppose, come in time to regard it as no more strange than that they should drive a pair of horses in the Park. It may not generally be known that the Princess of Wales, who is an excellent whip, has been frequently seen driving her son-in-law's coach through the Richmond lanes, and managing her four horses with perfect skill. Possibly, now that the ice has been broken for her, she will venture to handle the ribbons elsewhere, and, if so, then we may confidently expect to see a brilliant array of lady-whips at future meetings of the Coaching and Four-in- Hand Clubs. # The cavalry charges at the recent Review at Aldershot were particularly commented on and admired by the young Emperor. The example of Lords Lionel and Arthur Cecil is worth following by younger sons of peers and landowners. They are the sons of the late Marquis of Salisbury by his second wife, who is now Countess of Derby, having married the present Earl in 1870. Lords Arthur and Lionel have not exactly illustrated the rather doubtful truth of the old couplet, which says If a man e'er wants to thrive He must begin at thirty,five. They began before that age, and are now thirty- eight and thirty-six respectively. For many years they have very successfully farmed on a large scale at Orchard Mains, near Melrose, adopting the only means of making farming pay, that is, by working with their own hands, and practically seeing to every detail themselves. They have been particularly fortunate in horse-breeding. They have now given up their farm in Scotland and have taken two large farms in Kent, near the Eirl of Derby's property there. It is pleasant to hear of their success, because others may realize from it that it is not necessary for younger sons to go the dogs. This used, at one time, to be almost an article of faith with the fashionable world. V Sir Henry Roscoe's constituents have drawn from him a long reply addressed to Mr Herbert Philips respecting his advocacy in Parliament of the compulsory muzzling of dogs, which they regard as an odious form of class legislation affecting thousands of humbler folk, while rich people will have special exemption for their hounds and other sporting dogs. Sir Henry declares the memorial in one locality consists of the signatures of boys and young women, who are clearly unaware of the purpose of the bill, which reminds me of an answer given by a lady who had signed the Anti-Suffrage Memorial. When asked by a friend why she did it, she naively replied, Surely there are fools enough in Parliament without adding to them." Taken altogether, the member for South Manchester pronounces the petition as having no possible weight as expressing the opinion of competent persons." # The current quarterly number of the Novicrucian contains an article by Captain Jones-Parry on theatrical reminiscences. Captain and Miss Stewart, of Alltyrodyn, have returned from the United States. During a month's absence from home they visited New York and Niagara. We are sorry to hear that Mr Stepney-Gulston, of Derwydd, has been seriously ill, the result of a severe shock from a fall. # The Tivyside lawn tennis club is, if possible, more flourishing this year than ever. It has exceptional advantages in having a pillar of the Church as its secretary for he can make up matches, and then marry the parties aftbrwards if they desire.

He was carried back to the Armoury, and on Thursday was slightly better.

Officer for the week, Lieutenant Hutchins. Orderly Sergeants, Arthur Ll. Davies and Abel Davies. Company drill on Monday, at 7.30. p.m., in the Cattle Market plain clothes. Class firing on Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Satur- day,0 at 2.30. p.m. (weather permitting). (1) Attention is called to Paragraph 1051 Volunteer Regulations 1887. Volunteers will be careful on all occasions to appear either in the authorized uniform of the Corps, or in purely civilian dress. The unsoldier-like appearance of Volunteers dressed partly in uniform, partly in civilian costume, brings discredit, not only on themselves, but on the force to which they belong. (2) The Officer Commanding this detachment particularly requests that this order be attended to, and that the military great coats are not worn except when full or undress uniform is ordered. (3) Members from camp are requested to return the haversacks and coat straps into store as early as possible. G. A. HUTCHINS, Captain Commanding.

CARMARTHENSHIRE RIFLE ASSOCIATION. THE ANNUAL MEETING. The annual prize meeting of the above Association was held on the Danyrallt Range, Carmarthen, on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednes- day. The weather experienced was hardly Qiieeri's weather," in fact, a good name for it would be "shooting-week weather," for a dry meeting for this Association has hardly ever been known. On Monday no rain fell, but the wind was a puffy one from the rear on Tuesday, the wind had risen and changed direction to the right rear, from which quarter it came in gusts while on Wednesday the culminating point was reached, a strong right wind, at times almost reaching a hurricane, was present, and rain fell very heavily during a portion of the day. As an in- stance of the strength of the wind, we may mention that one gust blew down the marquee erected by the Llanelly men for their accom- modation, and also split the secretary's tent in two. The state of the weather prevented very high scores being put on, although Lance- Corporal W. T. Davies, Llanelly, succeeded on Wednesday, in putting on the highest possible at the 200 yards in the Ladies' Prize. The shoot- inO" for the bronze medal of the N.R.A. was again this year very close, Lance-Corporal W. T. Davies and Sergeant G. S. Harries, tying for it with 217 points, thus necessitating a shoot off. Five shots were fired by both, the former making 19, and the latter 18, Lance-Corporal Davies thus winning the medal by one point. Both the Executive Officer (Mr T. Jones), and the Secretary (Mr B. Spivey), were indefatigable in their different departments. During the afternoon a meeting of the members of the Association was held in the secretary's tent, Major Bythway in the chair. Major Bythway said that in previous years a great anxiety seemed to have filled everyone to rush away from the field, and so an important part of the proceedings had been omitted, i.e., the pass- ing of a vote of thanks to the officials. They all knew how hard both the executive officer and the secretary worked for the success of the meet- ing. He proposed a vote of thanks to the executive officer and the secretary. Sergeant Harries (Llanelly), the Captain Commanding H and I companies, Qr.-master Sergt. O. Richards (Llandilo), and Sergeant Francis (Carmarthen), and others, having borne testimony to the hard work performed by both the officials, the motion was carried unanimously. The following is the list of the highest scorers the scores, however, have not yet been verified THE COUNTY ASSOCIATION PRIZE of £20 (in the bronze medal aggregate;.

LAUGHARNE ECHOES.
LAUGHARNE ECHOES. (BY ABERCORRAN). Laugharne, TuesJay. 0 TREAT TO THE CHOIR BOYS. On Thursday, the loth inst., through the kindness of Mrs Matthew Jones, organist of St. Martin's Parish Church, the choir boys enjoyed a very pleasant outing at Pendine. Arrived at the sea side, various games were indulged in, such as running, jumping, &c., -n ZD t, for which the boys received prizes, Mrs T. Kelsall and the Rev. J. M. Jones putting forth theii utmost endeavours to provide amus ment for the boys. Nor were their creature comforts neglected, for Mrs Jones had provided a capital tea, and to the latter ample justice was done. The party returned to Laugharne ill the evening, after experiencing 0 In a very pleasant and enjoyable outing, of which the boys will, no doubt, retain happy associa- tions. ORGAN RECITAL. On Sunday night last, after the service at St. Martin's Church, a short organ recital was given. Having been invited to remain, a large number of the Congregation availed themselves of the opportunity of hearing some very beautiful music. Mr Charles F. Williams, organist of Christ Church, Eastbourne, pre- sided at the organ, and rendered several pieces in a masterly manner. The violin solos were beautifully rendered by Mr Oliver Williams, the organ accompaniments being played by Mr C. F. Williams. CRICKET MATCH.—ST. CLEARS v. LAUGHARNE. Although but a few months have rolled by since the resuscitation of the Laugharne cricket club; and (in consequence of having commenced practice when the season was on the wane) the practices have necessarily been short, yet I am pleased to be in a position to record a victory for the home team. The c, club, having accepted the challenge of the St. Clears team, picked up the gauntlet on Satur- day last., and, favoured by glorious weather, went in to achieve "maiden" laurels. The match—an exciting one throughout—came off 0 9 in Orchard Park (kindly lent to the home team by Mrs Norton, Laugharne Castle). The Laugharne club was ably captained by Mr M. S. David, and equally well umpired by Mr Percy Davies (London). Mr J. S. M'Pherson did really splendid work for the home team. He batted and bowled equally well, and, with the exception of Mr Maurice Williams, was the only other player who reached double figures. Mr W. C. Griffith is a good all-round player. He has an accurate eye, and, with practice, would make a really excellent bowler. Mr Maurice Williams distinguished himself in batting and bowling. He also made a splendid long stop, hardly letting a ball go by. Mr W. Morse, too, batted well. The visitors showed splendid form, especially Mr Davies and Mr Carter, and wete seen to the greatest possible advan- tage in their bowling. On the other hand the fielding of the home team was very praise- worthy. The flrst innings resulted in a tie, but in the second innings the home team won by 3 runs. The energetic lion. sec. (Mr W. H. Saer) has done his level best in furthering the interests of the club. Before appending the score I should like to say one word more. The cricket season will soon have passed by, and I would suggest that, ere its close, the club should form itself into a football club as well, and thus keep the ball rolling." I herewith have much pleasure in appending the score :— LAUGHARNE. 1ST INNINGS. 2D INNINGS.

UNITED COUNTIES HUNTERS' SHOW.
UNITED COUNTIES HUNTERS' SHOW. The twenty-fifth annual exhibition of hunters and colts, under the auspices of the United Counties Society, was held at Carmar- then on Thursday (yesterday). The number of entries was larger than usual, and the attendance was exceedingly good, a great number of the neighbouring gentry and others attending. An improvement in the arrange- ments was very apparent. The ring was made larger, and instead of the horses being galloped about in the show field while waiting for their turn for judging, they were confined to an adjoining field. Two and three year olds were good classes, as were also the weight carrying hunters, while four and five year olds were a fair lot; brood mares were moderate. The jumping competition was productive of much interest. The horses had five obstacles to clear, a bank, gorsed hurdles, wall, gate, and in and out hurdles. Few of the horses negociated the last three successfully, and after all the competitors had gone through the performance the judges selected three to make a second trial, namely, Mr Griffiths' Pill Box," Mr Lawrence's "Osman," and Mr Francis' "Kathleen." The first did not do so well this time, and the second fell at the wall. Number three, however, took the wall, and "in and out," capitally, and was awarded the first prize. The judges were :—Capt. W. H. Fife, Sandley, Gellingham, Dorset; Mr W. II. Jenkins, Upton House, Banbury, Oxfordshire Mr J. Cooper, Brook Hill, East Haddon, Northamptonshire. The following is the prize list:— Hunter, colt or filly, two years old (bred in the Counties of Carmarthen, Pembroke, Cardigan or Glamorgan)—1, 915, Capt. Higgon, Scolton, b. c.

----[ LLANSTEPHAN.
[ LLANSTEPHAN. COMPLIMENTARY DINNER. -On Monday even- ing last, a complimentary dinner was given by the tenants of the Plas Estate, to their worthy landlord and landlady, Mr and Mrs Meares, at I the Union Hall Hotel. During the day, Mr Meares and his agent, Mr J. Howell Thomas, visited his tenants and inspected the farms and cottages on the Estate. The Llanstephan peal of bells sent forth a joyous welcome to Mr and Mrs Meares on their first visit to the place, the Meares family being held in great esteem by the inhabitants. A very large company sat down to dinner, including 52 tenants and visitors. An excellent spread had been provided by host and hostess Rees, their catering being well-known in the district, and on this occasion they received some well merited compliments. Among the tenants we noticed Messrs Thomas, Parky vicar Davies, Pentywyn Davies, Plasuchaf Thomas, Penycoed Phillips, Ffynonfair N. Church Hughes, Laques-fawr; J. Francis; Lewis, Cwmllanwybr; G. Davies; D. James Smith Rees James T. Rees, Union Hall; and others. The visitors included the Revs W. R. Lloyd D. S. Davies, vicar of Llanybri Dr. Carver Mr Carver Captain Edmunds Messrs Thomas, chemist W. Hanc jck Frank Church J. Morgan, National School T. Amos, L!anybri National School J. Thomas, D. Davies, Lord's Park; T. Thomas; B. Bowen; &c. Mr J. Howell Thomas occupied the chair, having on his right Mr and Mrs Meares, and on his left the Misses Thomas, Starling Park. After the cloth was removed, the chairman proposed the toast of "The Queen and the lloyal Family," which was drunk most loyally, the company sinking God save the Queen." The chairman next gave the toast of the evening, viz., Mr and Mrs Meares," which was drunk with musical honours. He (Mr Howell Thomas) dwelt at some length on the relations between landlord and tenant, and on his office as middle-man, who had to study the in- terests of the landlord on the one hand, andthore of the tenants on the other. He also eulogized the Meares family for their continued and successful efforts in improving the condition of the farms and tenantry on their Estate. He concluded by saying that Mr Meares was one of the best land- lords in South Wales. This expression produced an unanimous response of quite true from the tenants. Mr Meares then responded, and begged to apologize for his inability to respond to the toast in Welsh. He thanked them all most heartily for the kind way they had drunk his own and his wife's health, and also for the kind feeling which prompted such an enthusiastic reception as they had received on their first visit to Llanstephan. He also begged to thank them personally fer the handsome silver salver, which his tenants had presented to him on his marriage. He Telt extremely proud of his tenants, he knew that they were a genuine lot of thorough good Welshmen, who had shewn once before their love and devotion to his father, and he was now further gratified to see it extended to himself and his wife. He would never forget the kindness shewn towards him by his tenants, and if ever hard times came round they would always find in him a sympathizing friend (cheers). Mr Means next proposed the health of Mr J. Howell Thomas and his family." He praised the stewardship of Mr Howell Thomas and Mr Vincent Thomas, and expressed his indebtedness to the former for the cordial feeling which existed between him and his tenants. The toast was drunk with musical honours. Mr J. Howell Thomas thanked Mr Meares and the tenantry for the hearty reception they had given to the toast. He could not help being greatly pleased to find that his labours were equally appreciated by landlord and tenant alike. He had endeavoured to be just at all times, and had managed the Estate as if it was his own. He hoped the good feeling which now existed between all would be maintained as long as they lived. Mr Vincent Thomas also expressed his thanks for their kindness towards him. He had found that the people of Llanstephan were the jolliest fellows he had seen always kind ana pleasant whenever he met them. It was a pleasant duty for him to act under such a sym- pathizing landlord and such genuine and perse- vering tenants, and trusted their mutual friend- ship would last lifelong. In reply to the toast of The Tenants," Mr Davies, Pentywyn, begged to add his testimony to the harmonious relations which existed between landlord, agent, & tenants, one and all working for the common good. Mr Thomas, Penycoed, in a humorous speech, expressed the great pleasure the tenants felt at the presence of their landlord and his lady in their midst, and felt inclined to think that the more the landlord and tenant saw of each other the more they would love each other. Mrs Meares had told him that she liked Llanstephan very much. He thought that was a good omen. If they could persuade Mrs Meares to come and live among them, he felt sure that Mr Meares would not be far away. Mr Noel Church responded to the toast of the aged Vicar, and the Revs. W. R. Lloyd and D. S. Davies also responded to their respective toasts. Mr Meares proposed the health of Mr and Mrs Rees, of the Union Hall Hotel," and expressed his great- est satisfaction at the excellent dinner of which they had partaken, and hoped that they would enjoy a long, happy, and prosperous life at Llanstephan. Mr and Mrs Meares have won golden opinions from all, and their geniality, kindness, and sympathy will live long in the memory of the Llanstephanites.
LLANLLAWDDOG.
LLANLLAWDDOG. SUNDAY SCHOOL TRIP.-On Friday last, the scholars and teachers of the Llanllawddog Church Sunday School, numbering about 70, had an outing to the sea-side. The two waggons in which they were conveyed met the school near the Stag and Pheasant at six a.m., and after a pleasant journey Llanstephan was reached about 9.30. The weather, though marred by an occasional shower, proved on the whole to be very favourable, and it is needless to add that all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. At two p.m. all met at the house of Mrs James, the" Bull," where ample provision for the inner man had been provided by Mrs Davies, the Vicarage. After the cravings of the inner man had been satisfied, the school went in a body to visit the old castle, and the splendid views of the sur- rounding country and sands as seen from the castle were greatly appreciated. Subsequently the company divided into smaller sections for the purpose of visiting the neighbouring places of interest, it being understood that all were to meet at the Bull" for the return journey at 5.30. Punctually at the appointed time the start for home was made, and the Stag was reached about 9.30 p.m., without anything having occurred to mar the day's proceedings. The expenses of the trip were defrayed by Rev. W. Davies, M.A. Mrs Lloyd, Glangwili Mr Jones, Derlwyn Villa; and Mr Davies, Pentre- mawr.

of the channel. The plan of defence is a, line of observation between the Lizard and Ushant, patrolled by the Rodney, Howe, Warspite and two or three powerful cruisers, supported by a squadron of the remaining ships, under the flag of Admiral Sir J. Tryon. The enemy was first sighted at 3.20 a.m., on the 17th, appearing in small squadrons and single ships evidently scattered, owing to the thick and heavy weather prevailing. Chase w .s immediately given, with the result that when thereof returned to Falmouth that night to fill up their coal bunkers, they had the satisfaction of reporting that Admiral Tracey in the Rodney had captured the first class ship Camperdown, as well as the Hero and Immortality. These vessels added to the strength of the defending fleet will tender the passage of the channel an arduous, if not an impracticable, task. It is not exactly clear whether the scattered formation in which the enemy's fleet presented itself was the result of design, or bad weather if the latter, it is not the first time that the elements have warred on our behalf, and it teaches us that though our modem ships are but huge machines in which the engineer has in great measure superseded the executive officer, yet careful seamanship is not altogether unavailing. Nelson's tactics were to keep his ships in close order, to pierce the enemy's line, and over- whelm one position before the other could come to its assistance. To keep vessels in proper station in order of sailing during heavy or foggy weather is no easy matter, and in the days of sailing ships put good seamanship to a seveie test. So now the squadron that < in maintain its order, whatever it may be, and he ready to afford mutual assistance by a concentrated force will have an advantage over scattered fleets that lay themselves open to defeat in detail.
