I LLANFOIST BOY'S ADVENTURE. I ¡ William Miles, a Llanfoist boy, aged 13, lias evidently a strong spirit of adventure in him. I On Sunday afternoon he waded across the river U- sk to some of his chums on the other side, who refused his invitation to walk with him along the river bank. He therefore set off alone, and when he did not turn up at home that night his parents became alarmed. The boy had often expressed a desire to walk to the end of the river and this is practically what he did, for he arrived at Newport after a good trudge, and II sought out an aunt who lives there, and who had him sent back home by train.

I I Grave Condition of Affairs. PARISHIONERS' STRONG PROTEST DEPU- TATION TO MINISTER OF HEALTH. Mr. W. G, nut er, chairman of the Llanelly ai presided at a largely attended i meeting of the parishioners at Llanelly on Friday evening, to cor.-ider the situation arising in connection with the outbreak of typhoid j cever ill the locality. Mr. I). M. Ivvans moved a resolution 1 illing i upon the Crickhowell Rural District Council and the Ministry of Health, in view of the serious outbreak of tvphoid in the district, to urge the Brynmawr District Council to remove their sewerage pipes forthwith. Mr. Ivvans said he had had the sewer under his observation for many years and had seen many leakages along the track. He understood that 17 cases of typhoid had already been reported, and there was no doubt a greater number of cases were at present being watched. The stench arising from the sewerage was almost unbearable and the sewer was undoubtedly a grave 'menace to the health of the inhabitants of JJaneHy. Mr. M. Jones seconded the resolution. which was strongly supported by Councillors T. U Jones and A. J. Thomas. Mr. J. 0. Marsh, kl)cr ?g ?l a member "I the !~>k and-. Ivbbw Board of Conservators, emphasised the need of immediate action, and said that while pollution of the river and brooks was detrimental to tish. the seriousness of the matter as affecting the public health was of far greater import. It was a long-standing danger, and unless immediate steps were taken to get the line of sewerage pipes removed, the result would, be disastrous to the whole neighbourhood. The resolution was carried^unanimously and it was resolved, that Mr. I). M. Evans and Mr. 11 Powell clerk to the Parish Council) should wait upon the District Council as a deputation and ask them to co-operate in send- ing delegates to the Ministry 01 Health to put the position before them There was a brisk discussion regarding the inadequate water supply, and Messrs. T. 1.L Jones and E, W. Mcintosh, the local Councillors, explained that the Crickhowell Rural Council had the matter in hand. A resolution urging the Council to carry out.the scheme with the utmost despatch was carried unanimously. CRICKHOWELL COUNCIL TAKE ACTION. ) At the monthly meeting of the Crickhowell Rural District Council on Monday, Mr. W. G. James in the chair, ( deputation comprising Mr. D. M. Evans and Mr. W. II. Powell, clerk to the Llanelly Parish Council, interviewed the Council regarding the conditions in the I.lanelly district. Before receiving the deputation, Dr. 1'. H. Hill,Medical Officer of Health.stated that there had been a sudden and alarming outbreak of typhoid fever in Llanelly, twenty cases having been notified to him. with one death. Since his appointment in 1000, 250 cases of typhoid had been reported, with many deaths, and he had repeatedly called attention to the state of things. There was a total absence of a system of drainage. After relating at length the occurrences of epidemics during the last twenty years, with which our readers are familiar, lie stated that the presence of Brynmawr sewerage prevented water supplies being utilized. The conduit was a continual menace to the health of the- in- habitants of Llanelly. Many complaints had been received as to the pollution of the Clydach brook and its foul condition in the early morn- ing, presumably from sewage discharged from the Brynmawr sewer. At the time of his in- spection the stream Was dark, offensive, and evidently sewage polluted. He wanted some- thing done, and asked for the removal of the Brvuuiawr sewerage out of Llanelly, because to this he attributed the. cause of much suffering, disease and loss of life. The Chairman: It is useless writing to the Authorities. There has been endless correspon- dence already. I suggest a deputation should wait upon the Minister of Health and ask for immediate action. (Hear, hear). Replying to Mr. James, Dr. Hill said that, in his opinion, the outbreak of typhoid was mainly, if not entirely, attributable to Brvnmawr sewerage. Dr. Hill added that as long as Brynmawr sewage- was allowed to come down the valley, so long would there be recurring outbreaks of typhoid. The Chairman That is just the position. There is evidently a deplorable state of things in Llanelly now. Dr. Ilill There have been inquiries held. The Cliairlllqn And what has been the out- come ? (Hear, hear). What reliance, for in- stance, can be placed upon inspectors' reports when it is seriously stated in one of them that there are thatched houses in the district. (Laughter) Mr. A. J. Thomas said there was not a shadow of doubt that the prevailing state of things at Llanelly was a serious menace to the health of the inhabitants. A fortnight or so ago he was conducting a sale in the Clydach district, and the smell arising from the polluted stream was such that it was with the utmost difficulty he con- tinued to the end of the sale. In fact. he had not got rid of the smell yet. Mr. T. LI. Jones I have seen sewage in the Clydach brook Elj self. He moved that the Chairman, Clerk, Surveyor, and two parishioners attend before the Minister of Health as a depu- ,iter of Health as a (lepii- tation to lay a statement of the facts before him and urge immediate action. Mr Wm. Williams seconded. It was quite- time to bring the matter to an end, and that quickly. Up to date it had been treated with indifference. The deputation was then admitted. Mr. D. M. IS vans spoke of the unanimity shown at the well-attended parish meeting on Friday evening, and said that feeling among the parish- ioners had arisen to a very acute height. Twenty- cases of typhoid in the district, with an equal number under observation, and an outlook, from a health point of view, which could not be more serious. He had come to urge the Council to proceed with all speed to get this menace to I public health removed. Brynmawr had all too long been permitted to use the valley as a I sewage outlet, and the inhabitants were dc- termined to get the line of pipes, so long a danger, removed forthwith. Mr. W. H. Powell said the resolution passed by the parishioners called upon the Crickhowell Council and the Minister of Health to remove this danger to the cause of suffering humanity." and feeling was really intense. What would happen when Brynmawr erected 300 additional houses he did not dare to contemplate. There ought not to be a moment's delay. The Chairman With regard to the point raised by Mr. Powell with reference to Bryn- I' mawr building 300 additional houses, the matter has been pointed out to the Housing 'Com- missioner, but we have not even had an ackuow- ledgment cf the communication. It only shows ) how we are treated. j Mr ?yans and Mr. Po\yen having urged the need of an adequate water supply for the district of Llanelly, the Chairman said he was glad to say Mr. Hurley had the matter well in hand. But they must get the line of sewerage pipes removed and he was pleased to say that the Council had unanimously agreed to co-operate with the parishioners in sending a deputation to the Minister of Health. Mr Powell We are much obliged to you. I We have never doubted we had your sympathy and would get your willing help in getting this scourge removed out ot our midst. I

SUGAR LOAF MUSINGS. By 4 GOBANNIUM." Liauartii and Clytha had reason to be proud of themselves last week, when thev had in their midst such a distinguished soldier a. (,eneral Sir Charles Townshend. the hero d Kut. That they did appreciate the honour ::i no uncertain fashion was evident by the !!reat receiDtioll th. accorded to the General when he attended the presentation to local soldiers on Saturdav" evening at the Cb. tha Arms. General Townshend, oy ins great tight against tremendous odds in Mesopotamia, was a popular hero. He- "ays he has more enemies at home than he had in Meso- potamia. Well, there alway s will be ill-advised critics. 01 even the greatest and most infallible of men. and a successful general cannot hope to escapy the peculiarities of such people any mort? than otiiers. Assured of the admiration and respect of the public generally. General Town- shend can aliord to ignore anv insignificant critics. He is one ot our finest generals, and an English gentleman to boot. and. all who were his company. 1 here were seven lots of property put iii) auction on 1 uesdav. and there were 1:0 less than seven hrtns of solicitors engaged. It was some- thing like a legal conference. It is an axiom that where there is a property sale there are the lawyers gathered together, but they have seldom been in such evidence as 0:1 this occasion. hether it lu that too many lawyers spoil the sale." like too many cooks sooil the broth." I know not, but several of the lots remained unsold. ihere was a cricketer oj the old seho d 011 the 'i'hen \¡S a nid.ete:[ "f the old SCL.î ,1 on the Abergavenny Cricket .round last week who providtd a link with the earliest daws o-f cricket iu Abergavenny This \JS )lr. (; J Peake. who was 011 a visit to the town. Mr. Peake played cricket at Abergavenny as far back as the 50 s and was one of the best all-round players for juilcs around. Dr. James, for manv. years headmaster of Rugby School, in his introduction to Frank Badham's Fifty Years of Cricket at Abergavenny," refers to Mr. Peake as follows :— 1 nquestionablv the best of us was George James Allen Peake. hardest of clean hitters, safest of catches, longest of throwers, steadiest of bowlers with just enough curl from the leg to find out a crooked hat! and (then as now) best of all good iellows." Mr. Peake was a stalwart of the Abergavenny team and played some fine games for them One correspondent in a news- paper controversy in isoi which arose from Crickhowell defeating Abergavenny, stated.that G..Peake was a sine qua non to the Aberga- gavenny Club. Those were good old davs, when the cricket pitch was on the site of the present. (:ink Market, and when" TCll the Sweep w as a noted member of the team. The Mayor's bardic title of Maer Htdu y Felllli," co"nfcrred 011 him at the Gorsedd of the National Ivisteddfod at Corwen, mav not convey anything to those who (11) not understand the. language of Paradise," but it means Peace JMayor of Abergavenny." It would perhaps have been more appropriate to have designated him The War Mayor of Abergavennv," for it is his war work which it is sought to recognise. For those who wish to address the Mayor in the proper pronunciatory manner, the best phonetic rendering that one can give is Myer hathe i Venni." There are now three bards on the Town Council, the other two being Alderman Col. Williams, who rejoices in the title of Gwilym G.Ian Cibi," and Councillor W. Rosser, whose bardic title is Gwilym y Feniii." Quite a Welsh element. What pow-wows there will be with the li s and the dd's :10:: The death of Andrew Carnegie reminds one of the position of the local Free Library. The Scotch-American millionaire, when he presented free libraries in a wholesale manner throughout the country, stipulated that a penny rate should be levied for their maintenance. At Aber?a- venny a penny rate produces ?130, and in normal times it was sumcicnt to keep the Library zoiii.? comfortably. To-day, things are vastly different. Periodicals and newspapers are double the pre- war price, gas costs considerably more and all expenses are up, with the result that it is im- possible to carry on the Library efficiently and make both ends meet. Any additional assistance towards the purchase of books would therefore be welcomed. :1'= A witness in the Police Court on Wednesday stated that she fetched a policeman to her husband. She did not know his name, but described him as "a short, fat one." His identity did not transpire, but somewhere a constable is blushing at the soft impeachment. If people were only called by their descriptions instead of their names what a lot less vanity there would be Time was when men were known by their description, but we are supposed to have become more civilised since those days. Holy Trinity Church, which has just sustained such a serious loss by the death of the Rev. J. R. Phillips, is fortunate to be one of the very few- churches which will not lose its endowments by the operation of the Welsh Church Act because they are not of sufficiently ancient origin and only date back a little over 70 years. On the other hand St. Mary's will be a great sufferer after a change in incumbency. St. Mary's is one of those parishes where a considerable part of the tithe is iu the possession of a lay im- propriator, and this, of course, will not be con- fiscated. The fact that churches are to be de- prived of their endowments without a chance to prove their claim, while the owners of lay tithe remain secure in their possession without their title being even challenged, is one of those no fellah can understand."

I PYGMALION." FAMOUS PLAY AT THE BOROUGH THEATRE I NEXT WEEK. The Attractions Association, who have control of the Borough Theatre for the ensuing season, commence operations next week. It is intended to secure the best productions it is possible to obtain for the entertainment of the local public, and a good start is made with Bernard Shaw's famous play" Pygmalion, which will be staged famous play Pygmalion, at the Borough Theatre on Monday and Tuesday next.' In this play we have G.B.S." in his most benign mood—he cannot find it in his heart to give anything sharper than a good- humoured thrust at his dearest enemies. For once he lets off the middle classes, even morality, with merely a caution. The play is certainly one to be seen—in fact it must on no account be missed, for it is unlike anything we have seen before or are likely to see again—it is unique, it is indescribable, and it will live. The fun con- sists in the high-handed way in which Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, subjects Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl, to a sort of forcible feeding with orthoepy. By sheer will power this benignant Svengali trains her to speak like a lady, and he passes her off as a duchess at an ambassador's garden party. I On its orginal production by Sir Herbert Tree at His Majesty's Theatre, London, Pygmalion I met with instantaneous success. The company I visiting Abergavenny next week is under the well-known management of Mr. Charles Macdona. The leading parts are in the hands of Miss Muriel Kidner and Mr. Lionel Leonard. Other members of an exceptionally excellent cast are Ilr. Tom I Mowbra}-, Mr. Leonard Clarke, Mr. Bert Murray, ¡ Miss Eth .1 Lodge, Miss Belle Russell. Miss Marion Sterling. Miss Lorraine Norton, Miss Edith le, &c. The company has been rehearsed under the personal direction of the author, and the pro- II duction is an exact replica of the Loudon presentment. i I "MARMADUKE." I The sccoud great attraction secured by the Attractions Association is the farcical comedy, I the irresistible Marraaduke," which will be given on Friday and Saturday evenings next at the Borough. Theatre. Tnis Well-known play j comes direct from the Haymarket Theatre, where it was played under the direction of Mr. Dennis Eadie and was judged by the critics to be one of London's biggest laugiiter-niakers. It is written by the author of that successful comedy All-of-a-Sudden Peggy." The principal parts | are played by Mr. William Daunt and Miss Altraia Stafford, who are well known members oi the Manchester, Liverpool and Birmiugham repertory theatrcs. I

T:;i Llanfoist Horticultural j-ociety have reason to be proud oi themselves, for though Thursday's exhibition was only their second venture they easily had the best display in the district. The Abergavenny Show during the holidays established a record with its 000 eutrivs. hut Llanfoist did better still with over 700 individual entries, which, with trade ex- hibits, amply filled the two large mar q uees which had been provided. It has been a hard season to set the best results from the soil, but the quality of the exhibits was remarkable awl was a matter of general comment. Fruit flowers and vegetables were all noteworthy, and whether br not Llanfoist is "the Garden. of Wales. the amateurs there certainly know how to grow thing- Mr; Henry Pitt had a fine: exhibit "i flowers, plants and fruit, which was much admired Mr. Percy Eraser had an attrac- tive show oi hydrangeas and other plants Mr. C. Parry exhibited .geraniums and ferns Mr. Simmonds. of Llaneilen, also had a good "show of plants and Mr. S. Salter had an attractive collection of choice bottled fruit. These varsous exhibits added much to the attractiveness of the show. The president of the Society is the Rector, the Rev. H. Morice Jones, who takes a groat interest in horticulture. Mr. H. J. Rice worked in- defatigably in the horticultural section, andsMr. A. G. Norman was equally enthusiastic in the arrangement of the'sports programme, which is a popular and attractive feature of the Llanfoist Show. The opening ceremony was performed by Col. H. Miers, D.S.O., who was introduced by the Rector. Col. Miers complimented the Society on its successful development and record exhibition and said that for a small district such as that the show was quite a remarkable one. He knew what a large amount of spade work c ?inionii, st)a(ie N\ (?r k Mr. Rice and Mr. Norman and the rest must have put into it. The Rector subsequently inade a presentation of a case of pipes to'L.-cpl. J. Webb, who was home from overseas, the presentation being made on behlh. of the Welcome Home Fund. The baby show aroused a good deal oi interest. There were about 30 babies under iS months of age entered, and of these 21 were examined. The judges were Mrs. T. B Lloyd and Mrs. Fred Thomas, who judged on Infant Welfare lines and gave points for cleanliness oi the skin, mouth, ears and eyes, natural- feeding, and dressing. They were of opinion that all the babies were worthy of a prize, but many marks were lost by babies being dressed iu flannelette. The awards were as follows :-1) Bernard Evans, 52 Richmond-road 2, Kenneth Kilmiuster, i Court B, Lower Monk-street 3, Nancy Parry. 6 Overton-terrace. A special prize was given for fine twins, Hy.

Ir- v. CAR- MARTHENSHIRE <il-NTLEMI-N. TWO DAYS' MATCH AT ABERGAVENNY I Teams of 12 aside representative of Mon- mouthshire Gentlemen and Carmarthenshire Gentlemen played an interesting two days' match at Abergavenny on Wednesday and Thursday. The Monmouthshire team, which was largely composed of local players, took first innings, and, apart from Dr. Tresawna and A. M. Maltby, made a poor display with the bat, and were all dismissed for 134, of which the two players mentioned contributed 74. A. I" Trubshaw and C. S. Trubshaw bowled ).1U- changed, the former taking eight wickets for 43 and the latter three for 7S. Dr. Tresawna hit eight boundaries, including a six, the ball going into the grounds of Lyndhurst. Car- marthenshire scored 183 for the first three wickets, Dr. Gwynne Thomas hitting merrily in all directions, and scoring no less than six Vs and six 4's, while C. S. Trubshaw hit ei,(,rht I's in his 46 not out. Carmarthen were leading by 100 with four wickets in hand when stumps were drawn oil Wednesday. On Thursday the Carmarthen Gentlemen carried their score to 342, putting on over 100 runs for the last four wickets. The-Monmouth- shire team did better in their second innings, but though they made 190 they failed to stave off an innings defeat. The visitors changed the bowling more and put in no less than six bowlers, the most successful being T. L. Price and A. R. Trubshaw, who took three each for 24 and 20 respectively. Considering the Carmarthenshire score, P. Sharpe did remarkably well in taking six wickets for 74 runs. Scores MONMOUTHSHIRE GENTLEMEN". I st Inning. A. M. Maltby, b A. R. Trubshaw. 30 E. \V.

I Clydach visited Crickhowell on Saturday. Both teams were short. Crickhowell, winning the toss, sent in Provan and the Rev. R. M. Cole-Hamilton to oppose the bowling of Gunter and Mcintosh. Provan made some good hits, and then the Rector of Llanbedr joined the home captain, both batsmen showing good form. Lewis was stumped in stepping out to drive Bowkett. He made 22 in quick time. Capt. Evans again failed, but Townseud played well. Longman hit finely, and with the score at 155 for eight wickets Crickhowell declared. Cole- Hamilton compiled a capital half-century. Clydach made a plucky attempt to hit off the runs, Bowkett making some splendid drives, in- cluding one for six off Provan into the adjoining field. He was missed off Bailey, a mistake that cost Crickhowell dearly. Eddie Willi ims and Gunter did well, and in the end D. Mcintosh played out time, a drawn game ending iu Crick- howell's favour. The heat was intense and plainly affected both sides, the batting for the most part being stronger than the bowling. Among the spectators was Mr. Tom Watkins, of the U.S.A., at one time one of the finest bowlers in Wales, and who but a. few years ago made half a century for a Philadelphia XI. Scores CRICKHOWELL. A.
