THE County Surveyor of Montgomery (Mr G. A. Hutchins, M Inst.C.E.), has lately erected a bridge on the Bettws-Tregynon road, to replace the old brick structure washed away by the June flood of 1908, in re-inforced concrete on the Hennebique system. The arch is elliptical, and the span of 18ft is greater than in the old bridge, so that a much larger quantity of water will pass, thui preventing the banking up of flood water which has done so much damage in the past. The new bridge has now been tested with a total load of 27 tons, the maximum deflection on the centre of the bridge being only l/16th of an inch, the Arch returning to its former ou removal of the load. The test was carried out in the presence of the County Surveyor; the District Road Inspector; Mr W. F. Hobrough, of Hobrough and Co, the contractors for the bridge; and Mr Edmuad J. Gullis, A.M.Inst C E., of Gloucester, representing the patentees of the system. ON Thursday the Hafren Juvenile Tent of Rechabites were entertained to tea by the Super- intendent and the Chief Ruler, at the Tent Room, after, which a special initiation ceremony was held when twelve new members were < nrolled.

Reynolds, Willie Haraer, and gramophone selections were given by Mr Henry Bowers. Master Willie Hamer was presented with a prize for introducing the most members during the quarter. The prize was given by Mr R. Goodwin. The chair was taken by Mr David Powell, who, together with the Superintendent (Mr John Andrew) gave a short address. An unpunctuated reading competition was won by Muster Stuart Jones. The proceed- ings closed with the singing of the Land of my Fathers," Mr o D. S Taylor taking the solo. Two Home Missionary meetings were held in the Wesleyan Church on Wednesday. At the afternoon meeting the Rev A. E. Guile preached a sermon, and two solos, "0, Rest in the Lord and c. Calvary" were excellently rendered by Madame Jessie Stratbearn, A.R.A.M. In the evening this lady told "A story of her Convertion" and liow she obeyed the call," which was much appreciated by a good audience During the meeting this distinguished singer sang the following four solos, When I survey the Wondrous Cross," Rock of Ages," The Lord is my Light," and "r heard the Voice." She was hoard at her best with the two latter solos. Her marvellous singing quite captiv- ated the audience. Rev A. E. Guile presided. At the close of both meetings a collection was made on behalf of the Home Mission. Our local musicians say of Madame Strathearn that she is the finest singer that has ever been in Newtown. Her visit was quite a success, and the Wesleyans are endeavouring to hook her for another visit. AT the Victoria Hall on Thursday evening, a successful tea and entertainment was given under the auspices of the local branch of the Co-opera- tive Society. A large number sa- down to well laden tables, and, needless to say, did full justice the good things provided. After tea an enjoy- able programme was gone through, and encores were the order of the evening. The spacious room was crowded by an enthusiastic and appreci- ative audience, and the various performers acquitted themselves in a highly creditable man- ner. The President was Mr T. R. Briiigewater, who succeeded in keeping the audience under control The artistes were as follows: Newtown Silver Band (under the conductorship of Mr T. Reynolds). Miss Tilsley, Miss Kate Morgan, Mrs Parry, Messrs La.wt.on Reynolds, Llewelyn Morgan ■Jack Thomas and George Davies. The accompan- ist was Miss Edith Reynolds.

Bridgewater) awarded the first prize to Mr Douglas Whittaker and the second to Mr John Andrew. Much praise is due to the secretaiy (Mr John Griffiths), who had worked indefafig»bly to make the entertainment a. success. COUNTY COURT:—Before his Honour Judge William Evans, James Manuel, builder, Newtown, sued Rev W Christopher, rector of Llanwyddelan, for JB13 9s lid, for repairs carried out at the church at Llanwjddelan. Mr R. E. George ap- peared for plaintiff, and Mr S. H. Jarvis for de- fendant. The defence WAS that the work cun- tracted for had not- been completed, and when this was done the money would be paid. Mr Jarvis cited a particular item of .£6 14s, part of which only had been executed, and he sail that extras charged for were to have been done in lieu of the uncompleted work in this item.—Plaintiff replied that some of the work specified in the contract was not done, but he had put in some lead work in place of it. Mr Manuel avorred that defendant did not dispute the account until he was pressed for payment for the work which had been due on December 1st, 1905, and that the Secretary of the bazaar held for the purpose of raising the money, 'had said that the Rector had got the money to pay for the work. His Honour gave judgment for the full amount, plaintiff undertaking to see that the chimney connection was put in order if neces- sary, with a stay of execution for a month.—Mr Manuel was sued by William Pierce and Thomas Poulton for .£5 12a 2d balance due for plastering some houses built by the defendant at Llandinam. Mr R. E. George appeared for the defendant, and stated that .£3 9s had been paid into court. William Pierce said that he had con- tracted to plaster the work for .£43 according to the bill of quantities, but found that was in- correct, and sued for the extra amount of -85 12s. —Defendant contended that the contract was for the whole of the work, and that he was not liable further.—Judgment was given for the plaintiffs for .£5.

Barrie's life, together with extracts and a short review of his book, The Little Minister," which proved most interesting, and was thoroughly enjoyed by those present. THE Rev E. Jones-Williams conducted the second of a series of "Services of Praise" at the Congregational Chapel on Sunday evening. In his address, the pastor referred to the wonderful comprehensiveness of all hymnals, and the absence of strictly theological tenets. The hymns sung were preceded by an interesting account of the writer, and also of the composers of the tunes. ST. DAVID'S DAY has never received proper recognition in this Welsh municipality, but on Monday uext the Patron Saint will be honoured at the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Chapel by a tea and competitive meeting. A splendid pro- gramme has been ar-anged, and the meeting should be enjoyed both by Welsh-speaking Welshmen and by monoglot English. THE Ratepayers' Association is to formally enter into existence on Wednesday next. In these days of frivolity and pleasure-seeking, it will be interesting to note whether the young manhood of Newtown will endeavor to make civic life an object of ambition. An association—free from political bias—which has for its aim the betterment of the town and its trade, -should en- list hearty support. ORDER OF DRUIDS.—An interesting pr' sentation took place at the "Cedewain" Lodge, No. 1768, on Friday evening to Bro Oscar A Jackson, P.N.G A., of a beautiful silver medal gold centre, huitably inscribed, for services rendered as chairman of the Lodge during the past six months. Bro J. C. Williams, P D G M on behalf of the Lodge, made the presentation. Bro Jackson, in a neat speech, returned thanks. "THE PRIVATE SECRETARY."—Great interest is being manifested in the forthcoming production of the Private Secretary." The reserved seats have been taken up with astonishing rapidity. A good house is, therefore, guaranteed, but of the performance we withhold judgment until we have seen it on the boards of the Public Hall on Thursday next A great treat is anticipated, the play is a rare one, the caste the bt:st available, and the management most capable. MILFORD- OAD YOUNG PEOPLE'S SOCIETY.— At the meeting on Thursday week an excellent paper on "Tanymarian," was read by Mr K W. Hamer. Mr Richard Rees presided. —At the meeting on Thursday, presided over by Mr Joseph Jones, most interesting papers were by Annie Rees on Father Mathew," Miss Fiorrie Hamer on Frances Willard," and Miss Sallie Hughes on Mary Jrmes."

Arbuthnot and Mr William Watkins), to Sir Pryce and Lady Pryce-Jones and Captain Arbuthnot for the use of plants and the services of their gardeners; to Messss Jones Bros. for their decoration of the retiring room; to Messrs Pryce-Jones, Ltd., and Mr David Lewis, London House, for assisting with decoration, etc.; and to others who had kindly lent furniture for the occasion. SOCTAL—On Friday evening, the National School was the scene of a successful social and dance und.r the auspic-s of St. Mary's Church of England Young Men's Bible Class Like its pre- decessors, there was no lack of management in carrying through the social. With a good attend- ance, splendid music, light refreshments, and all the other accessories, it could not be otherwise than a complete success. Mr Ernest Owen and Master Harry Hanks supplied the music for danc- ing. An excellent vocal programme was contri- buted by Miss Emily Barratt, Miss Maggie, Evans, Miss Maggie Bellis, Messrs Norman Gentle, Ed. Hughes, and Harry Hanks. The secretarial duties were ably carried out by Messrs W. Griffiths and W. Tallis A MOCK Urban District Council Election, in connection with the Wesleyan Young Men's Debating Society, was held in the Wesleyan School-room on Friday evening. Mr Geo. Astley presided. There were five candidates for three seats, viz., Messrs T. I". Benbow (Conservative), Alfred Edwards (Conservative), Messrs Morley Hughes and Norman Edwirds (Liberals), and Mr O. D. S. Taylor (Ratepayers Association) The various candidates in able addresses described how they would improve Newtown if elected, and several quesiious were asked them. The dis- cussion was very interesting, and grew very exciting during the spirited speech of Mr Benbow and then at the polling. The favourite caudidate was Mr Benbow, who was returned at head of the poll. The following as election officers: Mr C. T. M. Taylor (returning officer), Mr J. H. Andrew (presiding officer), Mr Garbett Edwards (poll clerk). The returning officer declared the result of the poll T. F. Benbow (C) 23, N. Edwards (L) 13, Morley Hughes (L) 12, O. D. S. Taylor (KA) 11, A. Edwards (C) 9. The first three were declared duly elected. After the declaration of the poll Mr Taylor, one of the defeated candidates, pre- sented a petition to the returning officer for the unseating of Mr Benbow (C), on the ground of corrupt practices. The returning officer accepted the petirion. after being prop-rly signed and dated, and the petition will be heard shortly. At the close of the meeting a hearty vote of thanks wa3 passed to the chairman. DANCE.—"Thoroughly enjoyed and a regular romp." was the verlict passed upon the Dance held in the Public Hall on Thursday night under the auspices of the Hockey Club. That particular verdict was general, and there were 60 couples at the last hop of the season. The Hall had been brightened and beautified by means of curtains, fligs, festoons and bunting, under the very able superintendence of Mr Fred Benbow. The Cede- wain Quadrille Band playd a popular selection of dnnce mn-iic in their own acknowledged style, and the light fantastic toe was tripped until 1-30. For those who did not dance, whist and bridge tlioble, were provided in the ante-room. The arrangements were in the hands of a small com- mittee with Mr R. A. Wilson of the United Counties Bank as secretary, and a rare secretary he proved. It would also be unfair to pass over the sterling work done by Miss Smith, of Black Hall, Miss Ethel Woosnam, and Mr Bert Powell. The club was fortunate in receiving a great amount; of support from non-members, who kindly lent furniture and helped to make the1 necessary arrangements. Through the assiduous attention of ihe genial Hall-keeper, Mr John Bennett, the floor was in capital condition. Light refresli- m nts were served in the upper storey by Mr H. J. Viukers. The M.C's were Messrs Bennett- Lloyd and Harry James. The dance, which was so popular an event this year, will, it is hoped, be continued next year, and become a regular fixture in the town's social functions.

He expressed his gratification that leading churchmen as well as workingmen had come forward. The former included Mr Charles Shuker and Mr W. M. Ireland. THE COUNTRY TRADERS' TRIBULATIONS.— Many complain of Welshpool's trade being bad, and no doubt it might be batter, still (says Mr D. J. Jones) they are much better off than many other towns. He was recently away for a week- end to a small town near Manchester, and he found business there in a very bad stite, people go to Manchester for nearly everything they want, and a great number of shops were vacant. A QUESTION.—"There is one serious question the Guild had got to face in the future, and that is the difficult problem of Protection or Free Trade." Thus spoke Mr Robert last Tues- day night as president of the Welshpool Trades- men's Guild. We cannot the isaue," he continued, "because it is a matter of the gravest concern to a small town. Should we obtain another lease of life if our Tariff system were altered, or would the change merely hasten the downfall of the small towns?" Mr Robert Owen suggested that this should form the subject of debate by members of the Guild.—the in- struction of the community at large it is to be hoped, if the debate take place, that the Press will be invited. WESLEYANISM.—The number of teachers and the average attendance of scholars at the Wes- leyan Sunday School showed an increase last year over 1907. At the prize distributioa on Sunday, the Superintendent (Mr L. R. Green) also reported that 32 scholars of the afternoon school had ob- tained the full number of marks, and 22 had missed less than three Sundays.—Last Tuesday, Madame Jessie Strathearn, A K.A.M soloist at the London Wesleyan Mission, and an ex-vocalist with the Life Guards' Band, sang at the Wesleyan Chapel in the afternoon and evening. She also gave a 65 minutes' address on "The Story of My Conversion, or how I obeyed the Call."

J. J'nes (vice-president and treasurer), John Jones, J P. (vice-president), A E. Bond, T. R. Edwards, A. J. Giles, and R. S. Roberts. In the secret,ariea' report it was shown that, on April 14th the Guild's Council passed a resolution asking the County and Borough Members to oppose the Miners' Eight Hours Bill on the ground that no hardships on miners existed, that the Miners' Federation was strong enough for their protection without the aid of an Act of Parliament, and that such an Act would be the means of increasing the price of coal as well as that of manufactured goods. Other matters which had CIIIllO before the notice of the Guild's Council had been the question ot the Militia and Rifle Range, the establishment of night schools in Welshpool, the fairs and markets, the Town Council's Henfaes scheme, which they cordially approved, the suspension of railway servants, hawking meat in the borough, the Western Command Cavalry Depot, Co-operators and the Income Tax, the Debtors Act, and many other matters affecting traders generally" The Guild's income for 1903 amounted to £4 3a 8d and the expenses to .£3 9s.

Your Worship, I have been asked by Mrs Herbert to express to you and to the Corporation of Welsh- pool how much she and her family appreciated the attendance of the Corporation at the funeral of the late General Herbert. This mark of respect to his memory will long be remembered by them. I also desire to convey my thanks to you, and to say how grateful I am to my neigh- bours for thw sympathy shown on this occasion. I I am, yours faithfully. POWIS. His Worship, the Mayor of Welshpool,"—At Tuesday night's Con- servative meeting in Welahpool Town Hall, Colonel Pryce-J >nes the prospective Conservative candidate, referred to the great loss which has been sustained in this part of Wales and Shropshire during the last three weeks. It is the lamented death of General Herbert. I feel that you would like me to express, on behalf of the Unionists in these boroughs, how deeply we regret his departure from amongst us On many occa sions in this hall, and at Montgomery and New- town, he has at great inconvenience, and some- times at very short notice, come to preside at our meetings. It is not always in these days that rill the members of our great families take an active part in municipal and civic life. But as regards Generel Herbert, we all know that he took a very keen interest in county matters and in political matters, after having taken a distinguished part in the service of the Crown in foreign lands, and we feel his loss very much."

THE LITERARY SOCIETY.—This society is ap- proaching the close of a very successful session. Several of its meetings have been exceptionally good and well attended, and we confidently hope that the efforts of irs members will be amply rewarded. List Tuesday night we had a debate, "Should the franchise be extended to women?" Mrs Davies, Dolafon, took the affirmative, and Mr J Breese, Glanhanojr, the negative. Miss Jennie Richards, Tyhwntirafon, ably presided. Instead of an address from the chair, Miss Rich a'da read UiJ a pithy paper on "Good Manners," which it had been her task to prepare for a previous meet- ing. After a sweet duet, from Misses G. Gittinp and S. A. Thomas, Mrs Davies and Mr Breeze read their papers, which were both elaborate and spicy The debate was well sustained for about an hour, as a llire number of men and women got up to speak. Indeed, there were several ladies present at this meeting whose company we did not have the pleasure of at any previous meeting. They were there to defend their rights, and gallantly they did it. 'Tis true all the ladies were not suffragettep, but the exceptions were very few. When it came to the voting, 28 were found in favour of votes for women,' and 23 against. Tha suffragettes were in high glee, and many of thetn expect that before this Parliament is out each of them will have a vote.

A Call to the Young Men of…
A Call to the Young Men of Newtown. Sir,—Reservists are very badly wanted for our Newtown Company 7th Rayal Welsh Fusiliers The advantages of joining the Territorials are so well known that it is needless for me to enumerate them. I should be much obliged if you would give this letter prominence in your paper, and give your large number of readers a good whip up. The movenent has been so well responded to in London ani all over the country that it behoves Newtown not to be behind hand. I propose holding route marches through the adjoining cout try and also round the town itself, and I shall welcome any young men who may present themselves for enrolment. There is no reason why the Newtown Company should not be the smartest as well as the strongest in numbers. If we do not respond I am certain that consciip- tion must be resorted to. Mid that would have many disadvantages to all. England has always free in all respects aid we must not spoil our traditions, so therefore, through the medium of your paper, I make a first call upon the young men of Newtown to come forward, and by enroll- ing themselves in their Company to ob- viously do their duty. The conditions ot service and regulations under which they would serve will be most carefullyexpÙtined to all at Head Quarters.—Yours faithfully, R. J. W. AKBUTHNOT, Captain 7th Royal Welsh Fusiliers. -j-
Montgomeryshire Infirmary…
Montgomeryshire Infirmary Governors. The annual meeting of the Montgomeryshira Infirmary Governors was held at Newtown on Thursday, when Mr Hugh Lewis presided over a gathering consisting of the Revs R. Evan Jones, Canon Williams, Canon Woosnam, D. B Edmunds, J. A. Roberts, Mark Martin, Messrs Scott-Owen, Edward Powell, T. A. Forster, Alfred Ford, W. P. Phillips, Walter Davies, T. Meredith, J. Danily, Richard James, W. G. Cottle, J. Arthur Jones, J H Jones, Ä. 1. Guest, William Watkins, A. T. Benbow, Llewelyn Phillips, J. E Mills, C. S Pryce. David Bumford, W. Trow, Drs Shearer and Jones, together with the Secretary, Mr E. C. Morgan. It was reported th". Mr R E Jones wished to be relieved of the positions of bon. treasurer and trustee owing to advancing years, and that for like reasons Mr Whitley O wen resigned his trusteeship. On the motion of Mr W. P Phillips the meeting unanimously replaced these gentle- men with Mr David Davies, M.P., and Mr Edward Powell. Mr Ford. in moving the adoption of the Board of Managers' reoort, said it was very gratifying and encouraging to find that the support gener- ally given to the Infirmary was well maintained. They had every reason to congratulate themselves, for some years ago for reasons he need not state, the Infiimary was not in such high favour with the public. He was glad to think that the source of disturbance, or whatever it might have been, had entirely been removed. There had come to their assistance during the last year or two a new source of income. He referred to the cycle car- nival from which .£40 was received last year (applause). It was very gratifying to find that that carnival was promoted and carried out by a class of people who felt greatly interested in tb institution, alld by others who, at one time or another, received considerable benefit from it. He looked upon their efforts in this way, as a sort of intimation of their gratitude to the Infirmary and a testimonial tOI those who were carrying 0n its management from week to week, as well as to the medical gentleman whose untiring exertions added greatly to its success. Mr Ford concluded with a high tribute to Mr R. E. Jones and Mr Whitley Owen, who had retired owing to advanc- ing years. The report was adopted. The usual votes of thanks were awarded to the Board of Management, the Auditor, Mr Benbow, (who was re-elected), the Hon. Treasurer, Capt. Arbuthnot and Mr William Watkins, the Ball Secretaries, the Matron and Staff, and the Medical Staff. The Chairman ma.de feeling allusion to the death of Dr Purchas, who had been associated with the Infirmary for 18 years, and gave to it bis best services. Mr Hugh Lewis was appointed hon. treasurer in place of Mr R E. Jones, and Lord Sudeley was re-elected president. For the Board of Manage- ment twenty nominations were received and these were accepted, the former district members of the Board being also reappointed- Dr Stevenson was elected on the medical staff in succession to Dr Trumper. In moving a vote of thanks to the Ball Secre- taries, the Rev Canon Woosnam paid personal testimony to the excellence of the arrangements made for that entertainment. He, at tha same time, thought it wis not well that such an insti- tution should be dependent for its income on entertainments. The Chairman also congratulated the Hon. Secretaries upon the success of the annual ball. Mr William Watkins in acknowledging the compliment, on behalf of Captain Arbuthnot and himself, said it was with much diffidence they took up the work so ably and so successfully per- formed by their predecessors, but they had been greatly assisted by the Secretary, Mr Ernest Morgan, and were well repaid for their trouble by the success of the Ball. He had pleasure in handiug to the Chairman a cheque for JB58 10S, being the net proceeds of that entertainment (applause). The Clerk reported, through Mr Martin Woos- nam, solicitor, that the legacy of JB500 left to the Infirmary by the late Mr Fredrick Lloyd Ford, of the Fron, Newtown, has now become payable to the Governors on the death of the testator's sister. The subsequent discussion regarding the pro- posed new Infirmary is reported elsewhere.
RIFLE OR BILLIARD CUE ?
RIFLE OR BILLIARD CUE ? On Friday night, in Llanidloes Town Hall, the local detachment of A Company 7th Batt. R.WF. were regaled to a knife and fork parade by Capt. David Davies, M.P. For the nonce the bayonet was discarded in favour of the table knife, and the company forsook the camp fires for the convivial board. There was a splendid muster, and in addition a number of invited friends swelled the forces which assailed the well-served viands. The non-territorialists included the Mayor (Mr E. R. Horsfall-Turner) the ex-Mayor (Mr Richard George), the Town Clerk (Mr Arthur Davies), Col. Davies-Jenkins, Rev E. O. Jones. Rev E. Lloyd Roberts, Messrs John Davies, James Grant, Gwilym Edmunds, Dr Vaughan Owen, William George, H. D. Webb, William Ashton, Edward Hamer, J P., Llewelyn Phillips, J. Kinsey Jones, Dr Davies, Richard George, J.P., David Rees, George Hercomb, William George (solicitor), J Jones Meredith, David Owen, B. Williams, and Lloyd Jarman. Captain David Davies who was announced to preside was delayed, and in order not to keep the company waiting, Col. Davies Jenkins (late 4th Queen's Royal West Surrey), proposed the Royal toast in happy style. A song by Mr Idris Owen, a baritone of great local repute, followed, and received the plaudits of the company. Mr George Hercomb thought they should be thankful that they lived in a country which possessed the finest, though not the mcst numerous, Army in the world. They could look through every page of British history and never blush, and when they were required he was certain they were prepared to do what they had done in the past. Going to the Navy, they felt great pride in that arm of the service. The British Navy was known the whole world over, and with their Navy they need enteitain no fears for the future. Going to the Territorial Forces, he felt more at home, they looked on their citizen soldiers as a great support to the regular army, and when their services were required-and be hoped they would not (laughtor)-but he still hoped they would not (applause). He thought the parents and employers ought to sacrifice a little more to give opportunities to those who served them greater facilities to jcin this most useful branch of the service. Although his family was not a large one be felt very proud that all his children belonged to the territorial army (applause). Colonel Davies-Jenkins, in responding, gave a highly interesting resume of the his- tory of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. He hoped that the fact that they belonged to a very distinguished regiment would have some influence on the young men, and cause them to join. A splendid rendition of "Let me like a soldier fall" by Mr Tom Phillips followed. Mr David Davies was new on the scene, and occupied the chair amidst a tremendous burst of cheering. "The Bishops, Clergy, and Ministers" toast was entrusted to Mr Edward Hamer, J.P. They were pleased to see the Vicar present, as he believed he was the chaplain of the corps.—(The Vicar; No, I am not.)— He understood he was, but even if he wasn't, at any rate he ought to be (ap- plause and laughter). The Vicar (Rev E. O. Jones) said they were aproaching the time when it would be harder to be peaceable, and in the next twelve months there would be fighting, and he was going t6 do all that lay within his power (laughter). He hoped, however, that, all personal feeling would be avoided, as it was quite possible to fight great constitu- tional matters on their own merits (ap- plause). The Rev J. Lloyd Thomas also responded. Captain David Davies then distributed the prizes and certificates. The results were as follows:—Best drilled section, second prize, Sergt. Rogers' section. For introduc- ing recruits: Pte Fred Owen (4), Pte T. Owen (2), Pte E. Edwards (2), Sergt Rogers, and Lance-Sergt T. P. Williams. Silver spoons for shooting: Ptes Hercomb and A. Roberts. A comic song from Pte A. Roberts re- ceived a vociferous encore. Pte Hercomb proposed the "Visitors," and in a particularly neat speech referred to the difficulties they had with employers who would net allow their employees camp leave, and so prevented them going. The Mayor (Mr E. R. Horsfall Turner) responded, and expressed their pleasure in meeting Captain David Davies, who came there occasionally in his car, but passed through rather quickly (laughter). Sergt Frank Rogers, in a soldierly speech, referred in glowing terms to the officers of the regiment, and particularly the officers of A Company. Musical honours were accorded the popu- lar Captain. Captain DAVID DAVIES, in reply, said that taking it on the whole last year's camp was a very satisfactory one from many points of view. They aad got through a great deal of work, and every- body took a keen interest in the work they had to do. He did not know where their next camp would be, but he hoped everyone would try and stay for the whole fortnight, and not for merely a week and he hoped he would be able to stay for the whole fortnight himself. He considered that the refre&hmenu and recreation ten almost obvi- ated the n^CfSsity of the canteen, and he hoped that men would as far as possible make it a real success and patronise it m .re. He did not see why they should not have fun out of the recrea- tion tent, and keep the young recruits from stray- ing off to the canteen and getting into scrapes th-gre (laughter). It seemed to him that in Llan- idloes there should be no difficulty in getting the extra men required. THE BILLIARD FEVER. He was in Llanidloes some months ago and was glad to see so many men enjoyiae themselves in the' billiard-room, but he thought those men would do even better if they joined the territorial forces (applause). It was not their intention when that building was erected that it should serve as a counter-attraction to the drill-ball, not many of hundreds of yards away. The fellows who could spend so much time there could surely sacrifice a little of their time in doing theii drill in readiness to serve their country in time of dis- tress (applause). There was an opinion amongst would-be recruits that if they had to leave the neighbourhood they would be called upon to pay up a sum as a fina to the Association. He could only speak for himself, but he thought that there was no doubt where a man left the town to go somewhere else he would not be called upon to pay any fine, and he did not think that upon any ground of that kind they ought to be deterred from joining. They had probably noticed the extraordinary activity going on in London, where some 8,000 men had joined within the last few days. 'DAILY MAIL' STIMULANTS. It was rather mournful when patriotism had to be stimulated by plays and a papnr like the 'Daily Mail' before people would come forward to join. In Llanidloes they had no dramatic performances, and he did not know tuat the local papers had done as much as they might. He thought young fellows shoind come forward and do it out of proper spirit, because they felt it their duty to do so, and be of some service to their country (heir, hear). It was unfortunate that their rifle range should be so far away, but he hoped they w. uld take every opportunity of making themselves proficient with the rifle, for a territorial W>j.S n 't of much use unless he could use his riflk He was glad to see so many gentlemen sitting around the table, and he was sure that the appeal addressed to them by Pte Hercomb would nor fail on deaf ears. Fellows c luld not be exp-cted to join unless their employers were willing to let them take their holidays in camp. I PRICKING THE EMPLOYERS. In Australia, which h-d taken upon itself the duty of fiudmg a citizen army, the empl yer who did not let his men go to camp w,,ui,i be fined £ 250. Ho believed that only a lir.tl- stimulus was wanted, and before long they would be able to get their full quota for the district. They must have public opicion of all shades to back thew up. That year he would have to no t" Aldershot within the next few months to unaeigo a month's training there. He was not looking forward to it, very much, but he hoped to come bick knowing a littl- tnor dln he diri at pr sent. After a highly acceptable duet by Pte Nuttall and A. Roberts, a vote of thanks was proposed to the accompanist, Miss Lena Davies, by the Chairman. After singing the English National An- them—the eleventh hour being at hand-the assembly broke up after a thoroughly en- joyable time.
---GOLF GOSSIP.
GOLF GOSSIP. J By COLONEL FOOZLEB.J For once in a while the Newt-own Club has been beaten, and to Llandrindod the honour of lowering this proud record is credited. But as in almost every misfortune there is an element of consola- tion, Newtown obtains at least some measure of satisfaction from the reflection that in cons^quei ce of repeated postponements of the match the day found them with crippled resources. The team placed in the field was far from being the best available in ordinary circumstances. The popular pastor of the Congregational Church, the Taylor brothers, and Messrs Pryce Wilson Joces and Sydney Powell (the skipper who is playing a very strong game) were all away. These inclusion? would have, I imagine, made themselves felt ÍI, a scanning of the cards. But this fact, notwith- standing, the vieitors played finely, all of them considering their scant knowledge of the course, and some capital individual efforts were witnessed. The match between the two professionals proved equal to expectations, and by his victory over George Humble, young Lewis has adorneo his cap with another feather It was a great fight. In the opening the Llandrindod Pro" had, if anything, the best of matters, but Lewis was dead in his approaches, and holed out magni- ficently. Indeed those "puts" were worthy ot the attentions of the snao-shottist. I am asked to call particular attention to one of the most important regulations in the etiquette of golf, viz., Players looking for a lost ball should allow other matches coming up to pass them • they should signal to the players following then' to pass, and having given such a signal they should not continue their play until these players have passed and are out of reach." The question is how long a ball may be searched for before being declared lost, inasmuch as those coming up behind must not, under any circumstances, piay fpn uniil they receive the signal to do so. Rule 20 in the definitions says five minutes. If, however, that time were taken by the owner of every lost ball there would be much complaining among those who are following bim. When closely followed he should be gracious enough to give the signal it his lost baU is not discernable during the first minute. That, at any rate, would be something like the etiquette I should observe, and the one ^reat principle which makes golf enjoyable is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Keep that principle ever in mind and you'll not go far wrong on points of etiquette. Machynlleth will EOdn be able to justify its boast that the course there is second to nil nine hole course in Wales. Things in OwM GMyndwr's city are blooming, and theariival of Branch has been the signal for a root and branch revival of the ancient game. The young pro has already made his presence felt and has devised a number of little improvements throughout the course, which make the game more attractive. His activities have been centred chiefly upon the greens, some of which at present are a little coarse on account of the math which flourishes tbere. This will scon be exterminated under his careful surveillance, and the fine silky texture will take its place. Already some of the greens are now bwdering upon perfection itself. The fair way, too, has received the attention jf the new pro and the mole hillocks have been levelled. He takes a keen interest in his work and is determined to make the course a popular one. He has had a round or two, and I am told that in combat with the redoubtable Col. Bogey be was one down on that gentleman He is a skilful player, particularly with the wooden clubs, and his drives' are enormous. The new Captain—Major Barry Taunton-has shown an immense amount of interest in the club and pays frequent visits to the ground, where be supervises and recommends work that has to be carried out. Last Saturday the first of the monthly competitions was hld and these will be continued throughout the season. It is a little awkward sometimes to arrange matters with the rifle range, but things are progressing harmoni- ously enough. The local authority will take note when advertising the town's attractions of the im- por which thii gelf linke hso for witsitcrre, con- sidering that the game now finds its devotees in all classes of society. This ought particarly to be kept in view owing to the fact that the fishing facilities hava been restricted and are available only to those who have purees big, deep, and heavy.
BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE…
BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY. The annual meeting of the Xewtown Auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society was held in the Victoria Hall on Monday evening, when a good number of subscribers and others interested in the Society attended. Canon Williams presided, and was sup- ported by the Revs T. E. Williams, E. Jones-Williams, and LI. Jones, Messrs G. Griffiths, Richard Phillips, and J. T. C. G ittins. The Chairman remarked that he was al- ways pleased to see laymen occupying the chair at the annual meeting, because that showed the public that the Society appealed to laymen as well as to ministers of the gospel. The latter were bound by their pro- fession to do all in their power to spread a knowledge of the Word of God, while the former by their support of the Society showed that they felt that obligation equal- ly binding upon them. However much they differed as to the best way of bring- ing home the truth of the Bible to young and old, they differed not at all as to the value of the Bible itself. The Bible So- ciety appealed to them in Wales with a special force. It was mainly through the instrumentality of a Welshman—Rev Thomas Charles, Bala-that the Society was founded. No patriotic Welshman would hesitate to support that Society, were it only from the fact that the needs of Wales had been the occasion of giving birth to an institution whose activities were now world-wide and whose object it was to bring the Word of God to the notice of every man, woman, and child upon the face ot the earth. The Society were sup- plying that Book to all in the language they best understood. To many of them there was no book to be compared to the Welsh Bible, a treasure given to Wales by another great Welshman, one of the greatest bene- factors of religion—Dr William Morgan, of Llanrhaiadr-yn-Mochnant. The Welsh ver- sion appealed to Welshmen with a force and emphasis which no other version could rival. Let them, then, as they valued their own Bible in their mother tongue, do their 6 very best to spread a knowledge of God's Word in the language understood by the people to whom it was sent. They were ex- ceedingly glad that night to welcome the deputation, though he was a Saxon, and had crossed Offa's Dyke, not, however, as his ancestors of yore used to do, with sword in hand to fight and conquer ancestors, but with the gospel of peace and good-will to all men. In conclusion, the Chairman appealed to the audience to support the Society, because of the value they them selves set upon the Bible and its mp^a?p The Rev T. A. Wolfendale, M.\ of M?nl Chester (the deputation), then delivered an I instructive and eloquent address on the British and ioreign Bible Society. CAENSWS STOCK RALE.-C)ur corrpsnondent, report?
