WH!T-TUESDAY SPORTS. I RECORD ENTR!ES. I Therc!are record entnes for the too:; events at j the Whit-Tuesday sports which are being run by the Abergavenny Attractions and Improvement Association. They total no less tlian 35, which is very encouraging to the Association and fully justines them in their deciding to run professional sports. The official handicapper, Mr. Ted Lewis, of Pont) pridd. \\ho is one of the greatest authori- ties in sport in South Wales, in a letter to the Secretary, says the entries are truly very good. An excellent afternoon's sport is assured, as the competitors come from all over 8cuth Wales and adjoining English counties and many of them are wellknown on the sprint track.

ANtMAL SAGACITY.I
ANtMAL SAGACITY. I To the Editor of the" Abcrgavenny Ch¡'onicle" I SiR,—Last .Tuesday evening I went for a walk to the top of the Cantref, taking my dog with me. When in the Pentre-iane I discovered my dog was minus his muzzle, so immediately retraced my steps. At Clunmore Villa I begged a piece of rope, to make a lead for hi;u. No sooner had I made it fast to him, thanked Mr. Heap, and turned away, than there standing at the entrance to Western-road wss a representative of the law. Saved, said I to myself, in the nick of time. I explained the circumstance to the constable and came on by way of Ivinden -avenue and Avenue- road. When about thirty yards above the cricket ground, and on the opposite side of the road, my dog made a bolt from the pathway. The lead checked him, and I endeavoured to bring him on, but he stubbornly refused. Think-I ing he was offended with the rope, I stooped down and endeavoured to coax him to come on, but no, he would only make for the other side of the road. To humour him a little I gave him I his head, and he led me straight across the road, put his nose under the iron railing and wagged his tail. I looked over, and there lying two feet from the fence was his muzzle. I have a little bantam cock which strayed into my garden twelve to thirteen years ago. The dog and bird are very chummy. About three years ago my wife was sat in the liouse quietly sewing, when in rushed the dog in a frantic con- dition, seized hold of my wife's skirt and com- menced tugging at it, whining the while. She beat him off and he ran out in the back, but was in again in a second, took hold again and began tugging her skirt and whining. Wondering and curious as to what was the matter, she got up and followed him. Off he ran round to the back. Poor old banty had essayed to spring upon the w.c. seat, forgetting the opening, and there he was wedged down in the bottom of the pan. When lifted out the dog made an immense fuss of him. Surely these are instances of superior canine intelligence. Yours truly, I EDWARD H. RESTAI.L. I

) Abergavenny Rurat Council. ) —— I THE HOUStNG QUESTION. I i INQUIRIES tN EACH PARtSH. I 'i'!ic'monthly meeting ot th" Rural Tistrict Council was held cr. Tite,,(Ia- Ro1)t. Johnson presiding. I Housing Committee's Report. I The- report of the Housing C' re-ad by the Clerk, stated that the Surveyor's report on the need of houses for the working classes in the remaining parishes was not ready, the clerical beiu' n so heavy that he liad time tn go round the parishes. The Surveyor was author- ised to encase a young man w1: was a de- mobilised soldier, at a salary of 305. per week, subject to the approval of the CU:1;.cil. The Clerk read a letter from the Uantilio Per- thotev Parish Council suggesting th;: Croesonnen estate on the new Hereford-road as a suitable site for houses, presuming that the questions of a proper water supply and sewerage would be considered. It was resolved that a small com- mittee of three members of the Housing Com- mittee be appointed, together with the Coun- cillor of the parish, to attend in some public place in each parish after 6 o'clock in the evening, notice to be given in each parish some days previously of the places where the working classes could meet the committee, if they were in want of houses, and that the Surveyor arrange a rota for the approval of the committee. A letter was read from Mr. C. G. GwiUim. chairman of a meeting of inhabitants at Pwlldu, requesting the Council to ask the Blaenavon Company to put the present houses in proper repair, namely, doors, windows, flooring, and drains at the back of the houses to prevent damp, with a w.c. for each house. Another resolution was passed asking the Council to build sumcicut houses for the inhabitants of Pwlldu. The report was adopted. I War Bonuses I I The Clerk read the revised scaie o: war bonuses drawn up by the Local Gover:¡r:leut Board, which authorised an increase of 2c :.er cent. on the ordinary salary. I It was agreed to adopt the new sca!< I The Dinner Hour. I- I Mr. I'richard proposed that the time of meet- inn should in future be 2 o'clock instead of 1.30. winch was very inconvenient, a;o. frciu i to 2 was the usual dinner hour. The Rev. II. Morice Jones seconded. Mr. F 0. Price moved an amendment that the time of meeting remain as at present, They had to take into consideration the farmer.- who lived some distance away. Mr. Jenkins seconded the a:lldment. which was carried by seven votes to 6ve. there being nve neutrals. Up To Date. r I I 1 I- 1 iiic Surveyor read a letter !l .-IS tenants of cottages at Spring Wells., Koss-road. stating that they had received four weeks notice of an increase of rent of 10 per cent and enclosing is. each for the purveyor to make an inspection of the cottages, according to the Act. The Sur- veyor explained that this was the new Act which authorised an increase in rents of 10 per cent., but which provided that no increase should bt: made where the sanitary authority certified that the houses were not teasonably fit for human habitation or not kept m a reasonable state of repair. With any such application a fee of fs. was payable, but the tenants were en- titled to deduct it from the increase of rent. I The Surveyor was instructed te inspect the houses as requested. The Monmouth Cap Poad. "I Mr. Joseph Gnthths moved t !!at I [Its council beins; of unanimous opinion that the Monmouth Cap road is as important as auy "ther road in Nortli Monmouthshire, application be forthwith made to the Roads and Bridges Committee of the Countv Council to take the road over as a main road and that the necessary iacts and figure,; he included in support r.f tills application. The Rev. II. Moricc Jones seconded the pro- position, vhich was carried. Roadmen's Wages. I I I Applications were receivea irom .-everat roau- men for an increase in wages. ,Mr. Joseph Grimths said W;1; a lot of unre.st among the roadmen who were working dose to County Council roaduien There was one case of a young man aged 25 who had been demobilised after four years' service, who was paid 345, 6d. including war bonus, while his father, aged 60. who worked for the County Council, received £2 i8s. per week. lie thought tlieir men should be dealt with on. their merits. The Surveyor said the county roadmen were being paid is. 3d. per hour. ;Mr. Wm. Gwillim said he thought the Council were rather hard on their men. Some people thought that the working classes could live on wind. but it was impossible. IMr. Alfred Edwards said lie dtd iioi. think the application of any roadman had been refused. It was decided to grant increases.up to 41S, 6d. per week.

-"THE -NUGGETS." I
"THE NUGGETS." I The Nuggets Comedy Company, wno are appearing at the Castle Grounds every afternoon and evening, have created an excellent impression among the local public. They arc a talented party with an almost inexhaustible repertoire which enables them to change the programme at every performance. Mirth, melody and move- ment are the distinguishing characteristics, and an hour in this cheerful environment is sumcient to dri\"e dull care away. The company are under the direction of Mr. Barry Lanchester, an old Savoyard who has played Jack Pr.int about a thousand times and many father important roles- as well. He is a host in himself and is well- supported by a specially-picked company who by their excellent individual and concerted numbers make every performance go with a swing. It is- hoped that the public of Aberga- venny will support the Attractions Association in their efforts to provide high-class al fresco I entertainm.eii.ts for the summer season.

) Abergavenny Ma jor's Tragic End. I r\ews has reached Auergaveuny that i\iajor H. E. V. Kyncli. C.O. of the iS ,rd labour Coy. in France, met with a tragic end on Saturday I morning last. He was sat down on a chair and dropped off to sleep. The candle evidently set I alight the paper shade and the fire spread to the canvas which covered the wooden table and to the wooden walls of the hnt. It is believed that Major Kynch was snSocated by the smoke and fnmes before waking up and was therefore nn- conscions of the occurrence.

I ABERGAVENNY LANDLORDS AND THEtR RENT. 7'o </«.' Editoi' of the" ÀbCl'yavcnn!l Chronicle." DRA.R SIR.—Some of the owners of houses in Abergavenny have giveu their tenants one month's notice that their rents will be increased by 10 per cent. as from the ist of July next, and I should feel obliged if you would, through the medium of your paper, for the guidance of your readers, say whether you agree with the Daily Mail which has over and over again stated that this increase cannot be made until six months after peace has been proclaimed by order in Council." I am referring, of course, to houses up to £26 per year rent. I think, perhaps, it would be a good plan if tenants sent their landlords' notice to london, and let the Law Officers of the Crown have a look: at them probably they would move in the matter. ¡matter.

I LLANGATTOCK. I PEACE CELEBRATION.—A parish meeting was held at The Miles Memorial Hall, on the 2nd for the purpose of deciding on what form the peace celebration festivities should take. The chair was taken by Mr. James Edwards, and there was I a tairlv representative gathering present The Chairman said the Parish Council had previously held a meeting to consider the financial aspect of the matter, and had decided to levy a 2d. rate, which would realise £40, the amount estimated to be required. A letter had been received from the Local Government Board, in reply to an enquiry from the Council, stating that they were prepared to sanction reasonable expenditure by local authorities, including Parish Councils, in connection with the celebration of peace.and a general sanction would be issued in due course. They were not able to undertake to express any opinion beforehand as to whether auy particular kind of expenditure might be incurred for the purpose referred to, nor as to the amount which might properly be expended, and the question of the reasonableness of particular expenditure would be one for the District Auditor to deal with. Referring to the question as to whether the money should be raised in the manner de- cided on by the Parish Council, or by voluntary contributions, he said the parish had already contributed generously towards the many deserving causes brought to its notice through- out the war, but there was an end to everything and it was felt by the Council that the voluntary horse had been nogged to death. Later during the proceedings there was a short discussion on the matter, one ratepayer remarking that the levying 'of a rate for the purpose was unfair, as there were a number of parishioners who would get off scot free," as they paid no rates, and in reply another ratepayer, and one of the largest in the parish, replied that lie would prefer to have the rate and finish with it, notwithstanding that it would fall rather hardly upon him. It is understood that the rate at 2d. in the will be levied in due course. A committee consisting of the Parish Council, the members of the Wel- come Home Committee (who were several times referred to in eulogistic terms for the creditable work they had already done) and a large number of other parishioners' was elected to make the usual preparations for carrying out the festivi- ties, which will consist of sports, free tea for all children, soldiers, and as many inmates of the Workhouse as can attend, an open-air concert, and sports. The soldiers who have been on active service from the parish, numbering 112, will also be given a framed testimonial together with a presentation of a War Savings Ccftmcate, through the instrumentality of the Welcome Home Committee. Messrs. S. D. Caine and James Powell (Canal) were elected joint secre- taries, and Mr. James Edwards, treasurer.

The Master: Yes,sir,but!.thml:Icouldget itnow. '\fr. Hayward Margarine only has been ser\-ed to the inmates, and a little butter would be a welcome change. The Chairman I am sure no one wishes to make any distinction. (Hear, hear). It was decided to get the allowance of butter for the inmates. I THU VACANT REGISTRARSHII'. I it was stated that the Registrar General, through Mr. Thos. I<ewis, supt. registrar of births and deaths, had made an interim appoint- ment, vix., Mr. D. W. Hvans, acting relieving omcer. This was unanimously connrmed by the Guardians, and Mr. Hvans said he only accepted the office temporarily, so that Mr. Bevan, R.O., on his release from the Army, might be appointed when he came home. (Hear, hear). r INCREASED REMUNERATION, t I On the recommendation oi the Finance Com- mittee the salaries of the collectors named were increased as follows :—Mr. Wm. Powell, parish of Beaufort, to £70 a year Mr. A. J. Roberts, parish of Llechryd, to £8 a year, Llangynidr to k.32 per annum, Dukestown to £45 per year, and Rassa to £25 a year. Mr. W. G. James, in moving the adoption of the Finance Com- mittee's report, said he was surprised to find some of the collectors paid so poorly. An application from Mr. Thomas Lewis, collector for the parish of CrickhoweII, for in- creased remuneration, was considered and it was decided to increase the salary from £30 to £35 per year. The Board also resolved to grant the Clerk and Relieving Officers the new Civil Service scale of war bonuses authorised by the Local Govern- ment Board, and to give Dr. Hill /2o per year increase. I ALTERATIONS AT THU HOUSH. I Relative to the proposed alterations in the system of sanitation at the house, a communica- tion was read from the Local Government Board agreeing to a modification of the requirements origmally asked, in view of prevailing prices, and pointing out that what was now necessary to carry out would reduce the cast. and the Guar- dians instructed their Surveyor to revise his plans and estimates accordingly. I t SUBSCRIPTIONS. j A letter was read from the Gihvern Nursing Association asking the Guardians for a sub- scription to their funds.

v I LLANGATTOCK UNGOED. I VISIT OF OLD Punr<.—Last Friday evening, the 3oth ult., at the James Davies School, an old pupil of that school, in the uniform of the United States Army, was heartily welcomed, together with his newly-wedded wife, Miss Henry, of Port Talbot, who had on previous occasions endeared herself to the parishioners by her ex- cellent gift of song. The soldier was Mr. H. J. Jones, son of Mr. George Jones, of Tump Farm. He joined the Quarter-Master Corps of the U.S. Army at Chicago in November. 1917. and has not as yet been demobilised. As his visit was to be a short one, the meeting of welcome was hastily convened. Mrs. Thomas and the school children, with the assistance of Miss Kingscote and Miss Williams, Berry Farm, were equal to the occasion. There was no time to buy a present, but Mr. Jones, in accepting a scrap of paper," instead, declared that, though his wife and himself had received many presents, the Llangattock present, considering all the cir- cumstances, delighted them most. Mrs. Jones responded by an inspiring rendering of the Perfect Dav."
