Lampeter Horticultural Show. The first annual show in connection with the Lampeter and District Paxton Society, was held on Friday last at the Pcterwell Girls' School. The show was well-arranged, and was one of the prettiest ever held in the district. A large num- ber of visitors arrived in town during the day, and patronised the show in the afternoon. Though the previous rough weather had been most unfavour- able for the crops and the out-door plants, there were in all 574 entries. The society was only es- tablished here about ten months ago, and is at present in a very flourishing condition. The Society engaged Mr Pickard, U.C.W., Aberystwyth, during last winter and spring to lecture and demon- strate on Horticulture, and the exhibibits bore the fruits of his labours. The rooms were decorated with mottoes, and at the entrance was a grand stall of herbaceous cut flowers from the well-known firm of Messrs Wm. Clibran, Altrincham, who were represented by their energetic district manager. Mr Wm. Lewis, Arthog. The collection, which presented a gay aspect, was well-arranged and included Phloxes, Coreopsis, Montbretia, and Gyp- sophila. Their new carnations Lord Windsor." and Mrs Weller," won universal admiration. The tomatoes and cucumbers were of a high merit, and each was awarded a special prize. The whole col- lection was a grand display, and was awarded a certificate of merit. At the other entrance was a collection of plants exhibited by Mr W. Inglis Jones, Derry Ormoiul, who was represented by Mr Crosier, and the display was a very beautiful and striking one. The show was declared open by Col. H. Davies-Evans, lord lieutenant, who in a brief and appropriate address stated that really the two gentlemen who deserved praise for the opening of a show at Lampeter were Mr D. F. Lloyd and Mr Pickard. He only came there to set a good example to the competitors (hear, hear) he did not come there with the intention of getting prizes. He was sure they would all agree that such a society was very much wanted in that part. He did not think the' Celts were such ardent gardeners as the Britons, who were very good gardeners; but there was no account that the Celts bestowed any time or attention to the art. The people who took the greatest interest in their work, however, were the Romans, They grew vines which were famous in many lands. They brought over with them one herb which they used in making broth, namely the nettle, which is still used for the same purpose. The Saxons also set a very good example in this way, and did great work in joiticulture. He hoped the society would continue to succeed (hear, hear), and to have another good show next year. Mr Pickard had taken up hi.; duties in earnest, and placed the matter before the country in a very favourable manner. H hoped the society would so flourish as to be able to form branches all over the country, especially in the villages. He had tried to open a branch at Llanybyther, but he found that they took better to the studying of malt. There were a few of the younger generation, how- ever, who bad already taken interest in horticulture, and he was pleased to find that they had been successful. He thanked the members for their invitation, and be only wished the society every success (hear, bear). Mr Pickard said he did not know where he came in for such a good share of credit, as the work was carried out in a faultless manner by the Secretary. Mr D. F. Lloyd, and the Committee. He was very glad to have the Lord Lieutenant to open the show, as he, wherever he went, would always attract a large number of people (laughter), as he bad done to-day. The show that day was one of the best and prettiest he had ever seen in Wales (hear, hear). Mr Dd. Lloyd, solicitor, having also spoken, the Lord Lieutenant formally declared the show open. The following awards were made:— DIVISION A. (OPEN). Collection of flowers in pots, to fill a space 5 feet square: 1 J Websdell, Caergog Nurseries, Aberystwyth; 2 Colonel H Davies Evans, Highmead.

MR. HARFORD'S SPORTING RIGHTS. SIR,-Your last week's issue contained a report of the proceedings of the Lampeter Assessment Committee at their last meeting, and I was sur- prised to find that the Committee should have expressed their indignation at my having, in my official capacity of Overseer of the parish of lAm- peter Urban, written to the Local Government Board, asking for instructions how I should act owing to the apparent neglect of my predecessors in office, and certain irregularities in relation to the non-collection of rates legally and properly made in respect of sporting rights. Before I could submit the facts properly to the Local Government Board I applied to, and obtained, from the Clerk to the Assessessment Committee, particulars of what had taken place, and although the statements con- tained in my letter to the Local Government Board were perfectly correct, the Committee condemned, not only my action, but also that of their Clerk for having supplied me with the reasonable informa- tion which I was entitled to as Overseer of the parish. The facts stated shortly are as follows :— The sporting rights on the Peterwell Estate were, many years ago, assessed to the poor rate, and subsequently, on an appeal on the ground of their being too highly rated, the rateable value was re- duced to £ 100, upon which sum the xates were Segularly paid until the year 1898, when Mr. Har- ford ascertained that he was the only person in the union who was assessed in respect of sporting rights, and he gave notice of appeal against the assessment on the ground that he was not legally liable to be assessed; but on the hearing of his appeal before the Assessment Committee, he found that sporting rights were liable to be rated, and he stated that his objection to the assessment was that sporting rights in other portions of the union had not been assessed, whereupon the Assessment Committee passed a resolution that the rates pay- able by him in respect of his sporting rights should not be enforced until other sporting rights in the union skould be assessed. Mr Harford was chairman of the Assessment Committee at this time, and was taking very active part in the preparation of new valuation lists of the whole Union, and it was fully expected that they would have been completed in a short time, and ■ the snspension of the payment of the rates would not. therefore, have caused any great loss or incon- venience, but when the new valuation lists were finally adopted in about six months afterwards, no sporting were included in them except those of the Peterwell Estate, although the overseers of all the parishes in the Union had been requested to ass4e4s all sporting rights liable to be assessed. Immedi- ately after the new valuation lists were passed, the Committee expressed their dissatisfaction with them and passed a resolution that they were not to be sent to the overseers. After the resolution suspending the payment of Mr Harford's rates on sporting rights until the other rights were assessed had been passed, it was clearly his interest that no other sporting rights should be assessed, and it is open to the remark (although I do not suggest it) that Mr Harford, as chairman of the Assessment Committee, abstained from getting the other sport- ing rights assessed, as he would (assuming that the resolution of the Assessment Committee was legal and binding) be exempt from payment of his own rates so long as the delay in assessing those other rights lasted. The simple question in this matter is: Who is to be blamed in consequence of the irregularities which have taken place ? Is it the Clerk. whose advice Mr Harford during the time he acted as chairman refused to adopt, or the Committee ? It is no part of my duty to defend the Clerk, who appears well able to do so himself, but I may say that had the Committee adopted his suggestion, the difficulties and unpleasantness which have taken place might have been avoided. The Clerk to the Assessment Committee is not the only person who objects to Mr Harford being relieved from payment of the rates due from him, but for reasons well known in this town, many ratepayers abstain from openly expressing their opinion, and when I say that the rates due from Mr Harford are legally, justly and honestly due, I venture to state that if the question were submitted for the opinion of the ratepayers of the parish to be decided by ballot, there would be an overwhelming majority in favour of the payment of the rates being enforced. It appears very unreasonable that an assessment com- mittee should have the power to strike out of an assessment property liable to be rated, or to reduce to a nominal sum such rateable property without giving any notice to any person and without re- ceiving evidence that the property is less in valu than the sum at which it was previously assessed. Your obedient servant, .EV AN DAVIES. Beech House, Lampeter, 20th August, 1900.

CROSS INN. TREAT.—Last Friday the annual teaparty was held at Brynrhiwgaled. The day was fine and it seemed as if nature were in its favour. A great number were assembled. Members of the chapel together with many visitors who were visiting various places in the locality. After tea, young and old were eager for some fun in order to digest the cake more easily. The sports were held at Synod-Ganol field by the' kind permission of Mrs Jones. In the evening we had a pretty little entertainment, comprising of recitations and solos by the children and a few adults, of whom some were visitors. The chair was taken by the Rev E. J. Edwards who gave a very appropriate address at the commencement, and congratulated the audience at the end for their good behaviour. The chapel was full and all listened attentively throughout. Hen Wlad fy Nhadau" having been sung by Elenor Davies, Pencwm. a pleasant evening was brought to a clos*. cl

WATER SUPPLY.- The Caron Lower Joint Com- mittee met on Tuesday morning last at the Town Hall under the presidency of Mr David Davies, Morfa, Llanddewi. The other members present were Messrs D. J. Williams, H. W. Jones, W. R. Jenkins, Dr. Lloyd (medical officer), and Jenkin Lloyd (clerk).—The only matter for consideration was that of the best means of supplying the town with a better and more convenient supply of water. ] Several letters were read from engineers offering 1 9 their services to carry out the work. It was re- solved that the Clerk should communicate with the various engineers as to their terms, and report on the work. The matter was then adjourned for a week pending a reply from the applicants. VISITORS.—Never has the town been so well patronised by visitors as this year, and every lodg- ing house in the place is occupied. The chief 4 places which are patronised by the visitors are Pica bach, Pantsheriff, and the Bog. The seats recently put up by the Parish Council are occupied from early noon till dusk, and are a great boon to the visitors. It is very gratifying to learn that steps are also being taken by the Council to call a public meeting on Tuesday night to consider the question of supplying the town with a jbetter sys- tem of public lighting, and to have the lamps lit forthwith for the convenience of the visitors and the townspeople alike.
