MUSICAL NOTES. [BY LLWYN ON.] SIR ARTHUR SULLIVAN. This eminent musican has been conductor of the celebrated Leeds Festival since 1880. It is said now that he is going to retire from the conductorship. The Leeds Festival Choir is a magnificent one, and we trust a worthy suc- oeasor to Sir Arthur Sullivan will be appointed. BARRY MALE VOICE CHOIR. This excellent body of vocalists has been giving a musical treat to the inmates of the Cardiff Union. We are glad to notice that the choir is giving concerts for local charities. A Cardiff musician had a novel experience some years ago at the Union in C North Wales. He went in company with a friend to hear a well-known divine giving a sermon to the inmates of the Union at C but the divine failed to turn up, and the musician had to give a lecture on music instead, and this to the evident delight of the inmates, who were not afraid to say that they enjoyed the lecture on music better than the sermcns they were accustomed to hear. TABERNACLE CHAPEL, BARRY DOCK. The Temperance Choir sang two pieces in fine style at the temperance meeting held at the above place on Tuesday evening in last week, under the conductorship of Mr John Petty, in the absence of the conductor of the choir, Mr W. T. Samuel. We understand that Mr P. Draper will have 23 instrumentalists under his leadership at the forthcoming concert of the Barry Temperance Choir on December 6th, when Handel's immortal "Messiah" will be given. Tickets are going well, and a bumper house will greet the choir. THREE MUSICAL PAPERS. There are three musical monthlies, which are well worth reading:-(I) The Musical Times, under the editorship of Mr F. G. Edwards; (2) Mutical Herald, edited by Mr J. Spenser Curwen-this is a very bright and readable periodical; (3) Nonconformist Journal, edited by the late organist of the City Temple, Mr Minshall. The three gentlemen editors are Nonconformists; but as for that, it doesn't matter what they are, for music doesn't recog- nise any sects or creeds. Musical readers should see these monthlies. By-the-bye, does one of these come to the Barry Dock Library ? If not, musicians should do their best to get one of them at any rate for the Library. XISTEDDFOD AT CARDIFF. A successful Eisteddfod was held last week at St Andrew's Hall, Queen-street, Cardiff. Several choirs from Cardiff competed, but were not successful. The male voice went to Ogmore Vale, and the chief choral to Maesteg. Better luck to Cardiff next time. 8 AND 7. A student from one of our colleges was preaching in a certain chapel in Cardiganshire, and the first hymn he gave out was Mesur 8 a 7 (Metre 8 and 7). He gave it out a second time, but no one seemed to start the tune. Then the student a third time said with great emphasis, Mesur 8 a 7 (Metre 8 and 7). Then one of the old deacons in the big pew said: Wel, dyna bumtheg (Well, that is 15).

ASSOCIATED SOCIETY OF SHIPWRIGHTS. PRESENTATION TO A LOCAL MEMBER. On Saturday evening last a large number of shipwrights, members of the local branch of the Associated Society of Shipwrights, and others, assembled in the large auditorium of the Victoria Hotel, Barry Dock, for the purpose mainly of assisting, in a monetary way, Mr Michael Collins, an esteemed member of the local branch of the Society, who had the mis- fortune, 30me ten months ago, to destroy the sight of the right eye whilst engaged in chop- ping firewood at his home. Mr Collins, in losing the use of his eye, became unfitted to follow his trade as a shipwright, and hence the gathering at the Victoria Hotel, over which Councillor J. Jenkins, J.P. (Cardiff), the district delegate of the Society, ably presided. In the midst of an extensive musical programme Councillor Jenkins wade the presentation. He said he was not so proud of being there as an associated shipwright, but as a Trade Unionist, who, as a body, had other objects in view besides the raising of their wages. (Laughter.) It gave him great pleasure to see that at the present time Trades Unionists were solving the problem of old age pensions, and were it not for Trades Unions and Friendly Societies the workhouses of the country would not be suffi- cient to hold those who, through no fault of their own, would find themselves compelled to end their daya there. (Cheers.) The sum which he would hand over that night to Mr Collins did not come out of their Society's funds, but was the spontaneous response on the part of his fellow-workmen. (Cheers.) Councillor Jenkins further said that the Associated Society of Shipwrights was started on the river Clyde with a handful of men, and to-day had 16,000 members, with a capital of £ 77,000. The Society at their last delegate meeting had provided an old age pension of 5s per week, which they hrped soon to increase to 10s. Councillor Jenkins then presented a bag containing £ 100 to Mr Michael Collins, and hoped that it would be the means of fur- nishing him with a livelihood in thp. future. Mr Collins having thanked his fellow-work- men, Councillor Jose, J.P., who supported the Chairman, rose, and ably seconded the latter's remarks, and said that it gave him the greatest pleasure to see that the trade he represented was upon the most cordial terms with the shipwrights, although he well remembered the time when that was not the case. There were no forces which could thwart the influence of Trade Unionism, or stunt their advantages in any degree. (Cheers.) A long programme of vocal music was gone through, with Mr W. Tame at the piano, the following taking part:—Messrs Silverthorne, W. Gile. W. Galliver, Mainwaring, Beynon, O. Organ Parry, Kane, K. Lloyd, D. Rollitt, Thomas, Sheldon, Reed, Saddler, R. Jenkins, &c.-The representative of Mr C. H. Bailey, of the ryne Engine Works, being unable to attend, sent with his apology' a couple of boxes of cigars for the use of the company.

AN EXTENSIVE ENCOUNTER WITH A MAN WITH THE SUNSTROKE. William Evans, a little man with a parched skin, was charged at the Barry Dock Police- court on Monday with assaulting the police on Friday evening last.—Police constable Chilcot said that on the evening of the 17th inst the prisoner was behaving in a drunk and dis- orderly manner opposite Culley's Hotel, Barry Dock. He was requested by witness to move on, and instead attacked the constable and I- for half-an-hour we were struggling on the ground." Prisoner struggled like a madman, and it re- quired the assistance of two officers of the law, beside Police-constable Chilcot, to persuade prisoner to come to the station. Evans, who naid he had had a sunstroke whilst serving in Her Majesty's Navy in India, was sent to prisou for 14 days without the option of a fiiie.

PRE-NORMAN MONUMENTS IN GLAMORGAN. Mr T. B. Thomas, R.C.A., lectured on the pre-Norman monuments in the County of Glamor- gan on Tuesday evening, before tho Barry Literary aud Social Society. Captain Hamilton Murrell presided. Mr Thomas, in the course of his paper, gave some idea of the riches which this country possessed in monuments of a very early epoch, made before the Normans entered the country. These represeneed a distinctive school of art which belong to the Celtic branch, having been introduced <. almost directly from In-land, as is shown by certain local peculiarities, which relate the monuments rather to Irish examples than to those of other parts of Great Britain. The monuments selected for illustration were those executed in Glamorgan, as in other parts of Wales, during the period from the fifth to the tenth century—i.e., the period during which Celtic influences were predominant in this part of tbe country. Tho lecture was ill- ustrated by a large number of slides, after the photographs of Mr Mansell Franklen, of St. Hilary, lent by the Cardiff Naturalist Society. After describing the peculiarities of the mona- ments, and entering a plea for the re-introduction of such ornaments in our own times in all kinds of decoration, whether architectural or ornamental, the lecturer adverted to the fine group of monu- ments to be seen at Margam, and also those still more celebrated at Llantwit-Major, besides other isolated instances, such as the great shaft at Llan. dough, and examples at Coychurch, Merthyr Mawr, and Golden Grove. The lecture was listened to attentively throughout, and a hearty vote of thanks accorded Mr Thomas at the close.

MIDNIGHT BLAZE AT BARRY DOCK. fWO SHOPS GUTTBD IN THOMPSON- STREET. EXCITING SCENES. POLICE DO GOOD WORK. GREAT DAMAGE BY FIRE AND WATER. AFFRIGHTED OCCUPANTS. The peaceful state of Thotnpson- street, espe- cially at the hour nearest midnight on Sunday, was rudely disturbed by the cry of Fire and by the noise of affrighted screams from the occupants of No. 25—a jeweller and tobacco- nist's premises. These screams could be dis- tinctly heard along the doekside and in all the lower portions of the town, and those people who lived near, on rushing into the street, saw the front portion of the shop in quite a blaze. I A neighbour named Orders ran to the police- station, while Police-constadle Eeedles, who was on the beat, could do nothing except see that all the persons on the premises were removed to a PLAOE OF SAFETY until the arrival of the fire-extinguishing ap- pliances from the Central Station. Mrs Barnett and her young infant child, who gave utterance to the screams, were conducted into the street; and through the kindness of Mr Cullum, of Lloyd's Bank, they were hospitably received on those premises. Within a few minutes Police-inspector Williams, with Ser- geants Gill and R. H. Thomas, arrived on the scene with the hose and reel, and, together with a strong force of police, quickly got to work. A water-plug was discovered imme- diately opposite the burning building, but the heat was even at that early hour so fierce that it was with considerable difficulty that the men held their position at the standpipe. Council- lors E. B. Smith-Jones and Manaton were early on the scene, and these testified to the excellent work done by the police who, within a short space of time, were pouring a COPIOUS STREAM OF WATBR on the buruing shop. Superintendent Giddings also arrived soon after the outbreak, and directed the movements of the men, who were joined by the dock police, under Sergeant Franks the Barry police, with their hose and reel, in charge of Police-sergeant Abraham; and the Cadoxton appliance@, with Police- sergeant Ben Davies. A ladder was placed in the front of the building, and up this Police- sergeant Thomas and Police-constable Harris, with several dock men, cairied the nozzle and hose, and from the roof of the adjoining building a stream of water was sent down on the flames. In order to prevent the spread of the outbreak along the wooden rafters joining one building to the other slates were stripped off for this purpose, and at this juncture the roof of No. 57 FELL WITH A CRASH as a hugs tongue of fierce flame and a dense volume of smoke shot into the air. In the street below hundreds of people had by this time congregated, but the heat of the burning building, now resembling a huge furnace was so great, that the police worked under exceed- Z5 in fly trying circumstances. The power of the great heat may be judged from the fact that windows opposite—40ft. away—cracked with its effect. At the rear the Barry men with their hose had got to work from a standpipe fixed in Travis-street. All hope ef saving this building had been hopeless from the outset, and as the fire appeared to be growing more fierce on the lower jiide in a shop occupied by Mr Cohen, outfitter, the police concentrated all their attention en this portien, with results that, as any indication of Ire appeared, they met it courageously each time. It was a hard battle. The police had already been kept unceasingly engaged for over an hour, and the prospect of SAVING THE ADJOINING BUILDINGS appeared very remote. They kept on working under trying circumstancss, and were rewarded by seeing the furnace-like charater of Barnett's shop being gradually overcome. Water was kept pouring on the upper side, and the pre- mises occupied by a boarding-mistress named Mrs Phillips, suffered from the extreme heat and the great rush of water alike, but as it was at one time seriously threatened, it was another reward for the perseverance of the police that the fire should have been stopped from doing serious damage here. On the other side, in the upper portion of Cohen's shop, there lived a man named Irish, with his family, and these removed what goods they could before the first inrush of fire appeared. The conflagration appeared to cling to the roof, and the BGOMS IMMEDIATELY BENEATH in these premises, and the efforts of those in charge of the extinguishing appliances had to be continually reverted here. To keep the firP within the limits of the one shop occupied all the attention and work of the men, and this they managed after a struggle lasting over two- and-a-half hours. They deserved the greatest possible credit for their- efforts, and our repre- sentative, who was present, was assured that greater skill in combatting with the fiery element could never have been shown by any other trained brigade in the kingdom. Every assistance was rendered by riggers and dock workmen, and together the result of what appeared at first to be hopeless devastation of three or more business premises was very peculiarly gratifying under the circumstances. The shop-No. 59-was a black, ruined wreck, and the other—No. 5i-wa3 gutted, while that occupied by Mrs Phillips suffered greatly. The builditigs belong to a Newport Building Society, and the less in that case is fully COVERED BY INSURANCE. Barnett's stock-in-trade and furniture is also insured heavily, while Cohen's loss also will be restored. As for Irish, it unknown whether his loss will be made good, but Mrs Phillips, the refreshment-house keeper, will probably ba the greatest sufferer. Up to last year her furniture and stock-in-trade were insured, but she discontinued her payment of the premium and as a person who is uot in very good circum- stances, the loss will be most keenly felt b her. The fire was naturally attended with th., wildest excitement, and all who witnessed r speak in terms of high praise of the magnificent work of the police

BARRY TRADES AND LABOUR COUNCIL. I PENSIONS FOR THE AGED. FOOTPATHS AGITATION. I THE SALARIES OF HEAD TEACHERS. ——— The fortnightly meeting of the Barry Trades and Labour Council was held at the Glamorgan Restaurant, Thompson-street, Barry Dock, on Thursday evening in last week, Mr J. Hill, vice-president, in the chair. There was a sparse attendance, which pre- vented a discussion, adjourned from the last meeting, taking place on Old Age Pensions, and Mr Thomas moved, and Mr S. Tottles seconded the resolution put forward at the last meeting to the following effect:- That the Barry Trad. a Council is emphatically in favour of the principh s of universal State pensions for the aged, and pledges itself to do all in its power to place such a law on the Statute Bouk of the realm. —This resolution was now unanimously passed. The Secretary (Mr T. J. Chamberlain) read a letter from Mr H. R. Aid ridge, lecturer to the Land Nationalisation Society, offering January 5th next year as a convenient date on which he could lecture to Trades Unionists on the sub- ject of land nationalisation. After some discussion, this date was accepted by the Council and the Secretary, and Messrs J. Hill and R. Lewis were appointed a ways and means committee to make all necessary arrangements. A proposition to make a collection at that meeting was opposed by Mr S. Tottles, on th- ground that it was detrimental to the Council's dignity. DUTY IS ITS ow:; REWARD. The Secretary next proposed that the Council appoint a committee for the purpose of raising a fund to present Mr John Ward, the secretary ..f the Navvies' Union, who has lately removed to London, with a sDlall tokt-n (If its Hpprecia- tion of his services to the cause of labour. Mr Tottles seconded. Mr W. Lewis moved an amendment that the matter be deferred. He was not in sympathy with the resolution. There were many who were not in a position to do the work which Mr Ward had done, but they had, nevertheless, done their duty, and on the same principle they ought to be rewarded. Mr R. Lewis seconded the amendment, which was adopted. Mr Pugh said ingratitude was one of the greatest bars to the progress of Trades Unionism, and that they should show their appreciation of Mr Ward's services, even if it was in the form of having a p-tiny subscription list. He pro- posed that the meeting recommend to the next Council meeting the adoption of the resolution. THE FOOTPATHS' QUESTION. The Secretary read thefollowing letter from the Clerk to the District Council:— Sm.- Your letter of the 31st ult. was laid before a meeting of the Council held on the 13th iust, and I was instructed to reply to it. A deputation frovi the Council have had several interviews ith Mr Forrest, who is ag,nt of the landowners across whose property the different paths run, and where a'e two paths which the Council have been desirous of seeing open, and which the landowners are taking sreps to close. After considerable discussion and more than one int, rview, an arrangement has been practically arrived at by which the paths will b., ti ro, n open to the public as public footpaths, anri the Council will ffiuce them off. The Council are at piesent discussing the kind of fencing to be used, and as they are anxious not to go to very great expense in respect to the matter, that is the reason some delay is taking place.—J. ARTHUR HUGHES, Cleik to the Council. Mr F. Walls strongly objected to the rate- payer's mont-y being used for fencing up the footpaths, and he proposed that they protest against the way in which the District Council were spending the money of the ratepayers in fencing off the private property of other people. Mi W. Lewis seconded this, which was carried. GROCERS' UNIONS. A circular was read from Mr James Mac- pherson, secretary to National Union of Shop Assistant-, Warehousemen, and Clerks, in which it was stated thlit two Unions, the Early Closing Association and the National Association of Grocers' Assistants, were seeking representa- tion on Trades Councils, and which contained particulars respecting the Associations. TEACHERS' SALARIES. Mr J. Rees, the Labour member of the School Board, atte- ded and reported (in the woik done by the Board during the last few we, k-. A discussion ensued on various items in the report. Mr W. Lewis asked Mr Ret s if he bad vcted for the increases made in the salaiies of the head teachers, and upon Mr Rees replying in the affirmative, Mr Lewis protested against the same, being supported by the Secreiary, who d. claren that the wages were altogether too high. Shortly after the business concluded.

STEALING BOOTS. Joseph Hassett, a boilermakers' helper, of 25. Scott street, Car iff, was brougnt up in custody at the Barry Dock Police-court on Monday last charged with st.a:i. g a pair of bouts, valued 12s 6ti, the property of John Ltban, outfitter, Thompson-street, Ba-ry D ck, 011 the Friday previous.—Insp<^tor Franks, of the dock police. said he noticed something bulky under prisoner's coat, and asked him to give an account of how he came into possession of the boots. Prisoner said he bought the boots from Arkell and Company's shop in Cardiff, but, the manager of the Barry branch denying this, prisoner was given into custody.— John Leben, 47, Thompson-street, recognised the boots as belonging to him, which had been stolen from the doorway of his shop.—Prisoner, who said he had been workii g six years in Barry Dock, and had nei er before beeu before the magisi rates, was fiued El in default, 14 days' imprisonment.

BOER NEGRO RUNS AMUCK. Josiah Richardson, a coloured seaman, appeared btfere the local magistrates on Friday chargeu with being drunk and dis rderly and threate..irg to shoot. Police-sergeant Gill on the previ ous even- ing in Holt< n Roa l, opp site the Vicioria Hotel, B..rry Dock.- Sergeant Win. Gill said defendant, who was in custody, created a disturbance that evening near the Victoria Hotel. He was expostu- I.TLI -,g and shouting out. that he was a B.<er, and didn't caiefor any man in the street. The Sergeant mildly requested prisoner to be quiet, and subdue hi-, rising ire, when he drew a revolver and levelled it at the po iceman's head. The Sergeant pr mptly drow his staff and tapped it on the crown of the Boer, who ran away, taking his course down Tiiompson-street and D <ck Vi^w-road, and accum- ulating pursuers as he advanced.—Pulice-constable Kemp corroborated the evidence of the previous w itnefcS, and John Hollaud, a byestander, said he saw the "coloured gentleman" ruuniug down Dock Yiew-road, aud throw away bis daugerous weapon. Prisoner also tried to hit witnert, who stopped him. Prisoner was a seaman just arrived from Cardiff, and when searched at the station car-tridiffs were found in his possession which fitted the r v lver, although in ded >r- d ii wa-i not lo.idrt>! at ttie time.— I'lie Bc, Cil thought i a v ry seriuus case, and sent j.rinu.er to gaol tor 14 ays without ti-e option t a tine.

BARM DOCK POLICE. FRIDAY. Before Dr NKALE and Mr J. C. MKOGITT. THE GKKVIOOS CHARGE. Joseph Taylor was the first defendant called at Friday's Court, and he was there to answer a charge of allowing his dog to stray about in an aimless way without a muzzle on his m so, this being the third prosecution for the same offcnce, and defendant was fined 7s 6d; Ernest Brown was, for a like offence, fined 5s as were Owen, McCann, D. H. Dunney, Robertson, Edwin Jones, Wm Osborne, John Rees, and John Roberts, Bonvilstone. MORE GREVIODS CHARGES. Henry Newman was mulcted in 2s for allowing his chimney to smoke excessively.—Alfred Day was at such a distance from his horse and trap on the 8th inst at Barry, as not to have proper control over the same, and he was mulcted in 5a.-The same fine was meted out to S. A. Gulliford, who was driving without lights after sunset on the 6th inst; and Noah Laugford who, on the 8th of the month, drove a cart without a name painted there- on and 10s upon Aneurin J. Miles, a small store dealer, who was charged with selling fireworks to a child on the 6th inst.

MORE FIKEWuRK ENTHUSIASTS. Several boys, many of whom found it difficult to survey the Bench from the floor cf the dock, were fined for setting off fireworks in various parts of the district. A large numbei also were full grown youths, who doubtless delighted in the exhilarating pastime of frightening old ladies, and blowing up the locks of doors in the distiict. In one particular case Wm Davies stoutly denied setting off the fire- works, and "the child's mother," the child was nearly 6ft high and about 22 years of age, strongly and indignantly denied that her boy bioke the law on the evening in question. She was mainly in- strumental in securing the dismissal of the case. The following were fined Is—John Edwards, Dd. Davies, David Price.
