More favourable weather for a Bank Holi- day than that which prevailed on Whit-Mon- day it would be impossible to desire, and not- withstanding the fact that there were counter- attractions in the neighlxraring towns, the exodus from Burry Port was tremendous, but tho influx for the purpose of attending the eisteddfod overbalanced this exodus, and the town was visited by hundreds of people from all parts of South Wales. It was the second annual eisteddfod held under the auspices of the Tabernacle Welsh Baptist Church, and there can he no doubt that this year's event was a complete success. Tho proc-eedings were carried on at the- <-hape1, and early in the day it, was found that the. seating accom- modation was insufficient. The committee, we understand, have already decided to con- tinue the eisteddfod on Whit-Monday of next year, when a large and commodious marquee will lYe erected for the occasion.

I Tenders were received for the supply of I earthenware pipes to carry out the Achddu- Isaf drainage. There were; five tenders re- ceived. Two of the local tenders were pre- cisely the same figures, and the Surveyor suggested that a sample pipe be asked for. The Rev. J. H. Rees protested against such action, and said that the Council had already invited tenders, and it.s duty \vas to accept or reject any tenders. There was a prolonged discussion, and a suggestion was made to divide the order, but was not approved of. Ultimately, Mr R. G. Thomas proposed that. a. vote by ballot be taken, and it was agreed to.
