*CRICKHOWELL.
CRICKHOWELL. May Fair.—The May fair was held on Mon- day. Expectations soared very high in the juvenile mind, extraordinary rumours being pre- valent as to the pending visit of shows and roundabouts to the town. The youngsters were given a holiday, but as far as the fair was con- cerned they were doomed to disappointment. Three donkeys and a caravan, stationed on the Garn, comprised the sum total of the "pleasure" fair. The business fair was a similar fiasco, three pigs being the only live stock brought to market. y

DEVYNOCK.
DEVYNOCK. Women's Institute Formed.—A meeting was held in the Reading Room, Sennybridge, on AVednesday evening, the 8th instant, to discuss the desirability of forming a Women's Institute foi, Sennybridge district. Miss Jones, from the Board of Agriculture, attended and fully explained the aims and objects of a Womcn's Institute. The term is applied to a group of women banded together to help their country and each other. This may be done, during the present war, by taking up work which may help in releasing men from the land and increasing' the food supply, by encouraging I village industries, the making of toys. baskets. &c" and by making the Institute the centre of village life. and the meeting place for the social. recreative, and educational efforts of the neigh- bourhood. It 'was resolved that an institute should be formed in the district, and that meetings should .be held alternately at Senny- bridge and" Devynock. The following were appointed as officers :—President, Mrs. R. D. Garnons-AViiliams, Llwyncyntelintreasurer, Mrs. Powell, Ajthrawdv, Devynock secretaries, Miss Evans, Bailybedw. and Miss Margaret Llewellyn Davids. Cwmwysk.
ABERGWfiSSlH.!
ABERGWfiSSlH. IJ l:j.kl IU' ï:3 J, I Bird Life.—Now is tlie time, and this is the district, to see bird life at its fullest and best. I The chorus of song in the early morniny is most stirring and thrilling. Nearly all of the British son-? birds artf'here. The narrow valley ». -itli 1"llllllillg streams, are lined with hedgerows, and the sides of the hills are covered with trees of various kinds, marsh land is in evidence, great rocks are jutting through the mountain tops, and lakes are in the vicinity. so that Nature has provided liberally for the different birds. A careful observer may see if he takes the trouble almost yvery kind of bird, from the little wren and linnet up to the buzzard mid raven. Although they are in a lovin(mood, a iiio* intense and ferocious fight- ing spirit dwells within their breasts. You will see the peewits and curlews chasing the carrion crows away, and the crows worrying the poor buzzard. A kestrel (hawk) and a jay were seen fighting, and so resolute and determined were the two birds that they kept on until they came to the ground. They were then taken hold of and carried to the farmhouse barn by a couple of young men. Here they were let loose, and immediately commenced fighting again. Local Show Triumphs. Several of the premiums given by the Board of Agriculture and Fisheries, at the show of mountain pony stallions held at Merthyr Cynog last week, came to this district. Mr. Evan Protheroe, of Ty'n'cwm. was the recipient of JE7, t.5, and £ 3 premiums for three of his ponies. Mr. Hope, Llwyn^erw, and Mr. Jones, Glangweftyn, also secured a premium each. The premiums offered were twelve in number, and it was a fine record for this district to capture five out of the number given.

USS G35ISEHVJT0RS. Complaint of Brecon Sewage Works. A meeting of the Usk Board of Conservators was held at Abergavenny on Thursday, Mr. Reg. Herbert, of Clytha (vice-chairman) pre- siding. There were also present Colonel Sandennm, Mr. Anthony H. Miers. • Colonel deAVinton, Captain J. D. D. Evans, Mr. H. E. Gray, Mr, E. C. Maurice, Rev. D. Saunders Jones, ,Mr. David Powell, Mr. W. Gower Andrews, Colonel AV. AVilliams. Mr. Iltyd Gardner. Mr. W. G. James and Mr. J. 0. Tyler. On the report of the Clerk (Mr. H. S. Lyne). a rate of 3s. in the X. the same as last year, was ordcd to be made. Mr. LVtlc said that next year they would have paid off their loans, and he hoped they would be able to reduce the rate by 6d. In Head Water Bailiff Brace's report it was ■. 1 •. t !• •• V' no hit ion f!*o-i the Brecon and Sennybridge sewage works to report. Captain Evans said there were complaints of pollution from the Brecon Sewage Farm. Colonel deAVinton said the overflow left a great deal of sediment, but he did not know whether it affected the fish. The Clerk said the bmeU was objectionable, but the only deleterious effect was that it seemed to kill the fiy. Mr. David Powell, as a member of the Brecon Corporation, said he thought every thing was now satisfactory. It was decided to ask the Water Bailiff to make a report. CAPTAIN EVANS AND NETTING FOR TROUT. Captain J. D. D. Evans moved that applica- tion be made to the Board of Agriculture for the suspension of bye-law No. 12 during the wry, 1:¡ the river might be netted for trout to add to the food supply. He said rod fishing was considerably reduced, illicit fishing was also very much reduced, and the result was a very much increased stock of trout in the river, with an undue proportion of cannibals, which ought to be removed. He considered it ¡ a patriotic duty to net the river. All sources of food had been put under compulsion j long ago. and he thought it was wise to do the netting themselves before they were put under compulsion. He suggested that there should be no netting of trout from Aberg:\yenny down- wards, only a small quota should be drawn j from Abergavenny to Crickhowell. a larger I proportion from Crickhowell to Buckland, a heavier proportion from there up to Brecon, a 1 moderate proportion from Brecon to Penpont. a light proportion from Penpont to Senny- I bridge, and above Sennybridge no trout should bo taken. Although the lower reaches pro- duced ihe heaviest weight, the trout could not I>e replaced as well as in the upper reaches, I owing to the lack of suitable spawning ground aifcT frjfiutaneS. j Mr. Gower Andrews seconded for the pur- i pose of having the matter discussed. 1 Mr. E. C. Maurice said he reprcscutcolle of ] the largest owners (Mrs. tiwynne Holford) and | an owner who had let nearly the whole of her !¡ fishing,a thing which was never done before the war. He strongly opposed the motion, I because he did not think that the results would I justify it. Unless they extracted a vast quan- tity of fish more than at present it would not warrant the uxpense and trouble, and if they I did take a great quantity of fish more than at I present they were going to ruin the fishing, whichwas a great asset. He did not agree that fishing had been' considerably reduced theirs had increased, and they had 12 rods to six miles of water. His experience was that there was not a groat increase in the stock or the weight of the trout. Colonel Sandeman said the poor people it was sought to benefit would not buy the fish they were not going to pay 2s. or 3s. per Ih. for it. Mr. Tyler said he, know there were colliers who paid 4s. per lb. for trout. Mr. H. E. Gray said what he had done on his waters was to give twice or three times as many permits to fish, in many instances to working men. In one or two instances he had allowed one day per week, and this was a better way of catching fish than that suggested by Captain Evans. With regard to the letters in the Brecon paper, written by "A would-be Izaak AValton," he thought Izaak AValton was a man who would not agree to the tone of any of those letters, and the "more those letters were ignored the. better. As to the resolution, he believed that there was a rule or bye-law which enabled any fishery owner to net his own water by taking out a license which cost f.5, so that if any owner desired to supply food to the people there was an easy course for him. Per- sonally he preferred to give extra permits to fish. He did not agree with Capt. Evans that illicit fishing was greatly reduced. From Llan gynidr bridge up to Brecon poaching had con- siderably increased, and lie knew that fish was being sent from Talyllyn Station. Illegal fish- ing in the Brecon district was far greater than it was in pre-war times. Far from there being too many fish in the riser, it would be found that if they were short of water-bailiffs the stock would go down. Mr David Powell said there was a very strong. feeling in the Brecon district, and he thought that something of the kind suggested should he done. There was an impression that there werlop a lot of fish in the river which should be used for food. They all knew what steps had been taken by the Food Controller, and possibly their fish would be commandeered. After further discussion, Capt. Evans amended his motion to the effect that the Executive Committee be requested to consider whether it is possible to aid the food supply from the stock of trout in. the river to the general advantage of the country, and if so, by what means this result can best be attained, and to report to the Board. Mr Tyler suggested that the netting of. salmon should also be considered, and with this addition the resolution was carried. It was decided that, in the event of the com- mittee having any definite recommendations to make. a special meeting of the Board should be called. ':>'

The question of contesting the constituent in the interests of Labour was discussed. plies to a circular letter showed that every affiliated bra?»ch strongly favoured a contest.
