TREGARON. WEDDING.—The marriage of Miss Maggie Morgan, eldest daughter of Mrs Morgan of the Talbot Hotel, and Mr Stephen Jones, 42, Warwick- street, Belgrave-road, London, was solemnised on Wednesday of last week. The bride, who is a native of Tregaron, is well known throughout the district and her genial, pleasant, and social manners have endeared her to all who know her. The bridegroom, up to a few years ago, was an assist- ant chemist at Mr Jones's, the Post Office, and is now in business in London. He is a native of Swyddffynon and, though not so well known at Tregaron as the bride is, during the time he was at Tregaron he was a great favourite amongst those who came in con- tact with him. At the time fixed for the wedding, large crowds of people thronged the streets to see the party going to the chapel and flags and banners were largely displayed and the event celebrated by gun-firing and other forms of marriage rejoicing. The chapel was tastefully decorated for the occasion and when the party arrived it was soon filled. The ceremony was performed by the Rev Morgan Evans, in the presence of Mr Peter Williams, the registrar. Mr William Jones, 35, Askelon-street, Battersea, brother to the bridegroom, acted as best man. The bridesmaids were the Misses Nancy and Cassie Morgan, sisters of the bride, with Miss Eleanor Jones, the Post Office. Miss Foulkes of the Intermediate School played the Wedding March. The bride was charmingly attired in ivory white silk-trimmed chiffon and orange blossoms with tulle veil and a bouquet of lilies of the valleys and roses, with trail. The bridesmaids also were prettily dressed in spotted muslin over mauve silk, with hats to match of white chiffon and feathers. They wore brooches of heart-shaped amthyst stones set in gold which, with the bouquets of chrysanthemums and roses, were the gifts of the bridegroom. The bride was given away by her uncle, Mr J. D. Rowland of Cardiff. After the ceremony at the chapel, the bride's mother held a reception at the Talbot Hotel, the Assembly Room of which had been profusely decorated for the occasion with flags, evergreen, and mottoes. Appropriate speeches were made by Mr J. D. Rowland, the Rev Morgan Evans, Mr Tom Jones (Post Office), and Mr Morgan Morgans. On the toast to the Bride and bridegroom," the bride- groom suitably responded and Mr Dan Jones after- wards gave an excellent rendering of True till Death." In. the evening, at the same place, a large number of guests were entertained when various kinds of amusements were indulged in till a late hour. The happy couple left by the afternoon train for Cardiff en route for Ilfracombe to spend their honeymoon, accompanied by the good wishes of all.

AGRICULURAL EDUCATION IN WALES. The departmental report just issued, shows that grants of JE800 each are made to the University Colleges. of Aberystwyth and Bangor, and that Bangor College gets an additional grant of 9200 for the college farm. Dealing with the work done at Aberystwyth, the Inspector of the Board of Agriculture calls especial attention to the experimental garden of three- quarters of an acre, from which it may be possible to show by ocular demonstration what is the actual regular appearance of any particular farm crop when grown under certain known manurial con- ditions. From this it may be but a step for a per. son by studying the appearance of the crops on any particular field, to form a very fair opinion as to what are its manurial requirements. Some plots are treated as if they were miniature fields and taking the wheat crop for example, experiments are in progress showing the effect of sowing large grain or small grain, thick seeding as opposed to thin seeding, one variety obtained straight from England compared with the same after it has been grown for two years in Wales, and so on. Of the thirty-nine elementary students, five came with county scholarships from Staffordshire and the re- mainder with county scholarships from Welsh counties. Field demonstrations were conducted at twenty-five centres, including five in Merioneth- shire and five in Montgomeryshire. Lectures on general agricultural subjects were given at four centres in Montgomeryshire, where the audiences averaged seventy-three. The expenditure for the year was £ 2,300, to which six county Councils con- tributed £1,030, and fees and miscellaneous receipts produced JE330, while the scholarships awarded by county councils amounted to JE645. Of Bangor College, the Inspector says the normal work has proceeded without much material change. The principal point of interest in connection with the work during the year has been the acquisition by the College of a farm which will supply a long- felt want in the scheme of agricultural education provided for North Wales. The dairy school at Lleweni Hall, Denbigh, was open for nine months of the year and seventy-five pupils attended and all but seven stopped for the normal course of six weeks and many remained for two or three months Travelling dairy schools visited all the counties in the district of the College. In Denbighshire, courses wpre held at four centres and were attended throughout the full length of each course by forty-four pupils. At one of these centres a cheese as well as butter class was held. This form of instruction shows signs of increase and a demand is springing up for it not only in reipect of Cheshire cheese, but also of Cheddar, Stilton, and soft cheese. In Flintshire classes (including, at one centre, instruction in cheesemaking) were held at three centres and forty-two out of a total of forty-three pupils received the full course of ten days' teaching. In Montgomeryshire provision was made for butter- making instruction at four centres. There was a total attendance of forty-two pupils, only five fail- ing to take the full course. Field demonstrations had been carried out at twenty-six centres, including one centre in Denbighshire, six centres in Flintshire, and two in Montgomery- shire. One of the experiments in Flintshire was of a new character and dealt with the improvement by means of manurial treatment of rough mountain pasture, and it was likely to yield useful results. Courses of lectures were given at seven centres in Denbighshire, with an average attendance of thirty- two, and at nine centres in Montgomeryshire, where the average attendance was forty-nine. Dur- ing the season travelling libraries, consisting of six or seven standard works, had been started, and the libraries were lent for a period to such centres as desired them. The cost of the College work, exclusive of the farm, was £ 2,195, to which county councils granted £ 1,058.
