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. The com- mittee have every reason to he satisfied that their second attempt# fully realised their ex- pectations. Excellent singing was heard, in all competitions. In opening the day's pro- ceedings, Mr. R 1'. Hammond delivered an appropriate address. A better conductor than the Rev. R. Ellis Williams con id not be iound.

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. Dr. J. H. Williams strongly protested against such tactics. He believed in open voting, and left the room whilst the voting wa.s going on. The ballot went in favour of Mr. W. P. Edmunds's tender. I BORE WELL. j Mr. R. 0. Thomas asked if any further communication bad been received regarding this question. Thei Surveyor replied that a letter had been received from Mr. Daniel, the mineral agent for Earl Cawdor's estate. Thf) letter Laving been read, it was considered that the terms therein were unreasonable, and it was agreed to defer the question pending a reply from the Stepney Estate Agent. I RATE. Tire common sea' of the Council w as affixed to a rate of Is. lid. in the £ to cover the es- 11mates for the ensuing half-year. The sum to be collected is £ 1292 Is. lOd. I SMALL DWELLINGS. Dr. J. H.

Mr. R G. Thomas seconded. Mr. John G. Hancock moved as an amend- ment that the Council do not take such a step. There was no seconder to the amendment, and the proposition was carried. I WESLEYAN ROAD. I A letter was read from Mr. Arthur Mor- gan, of the Burry Port and Gwendraeth Val- ley Railway Company, stating that a supply of ballast for the diverting of \VesIeyan Road would be given free of charge.

All the blinds were drawn. along the route, and a general note of sadness was apparent. The burial took place on Fri- day afternoon, and the funeral was largely attended. -0:- Tire village presented a very deserted ap- pearance on Whit-Monday, there being no attraction in the village, and holiday-makers were consequently obliged to go elsewhere. Extensive preparations are, being made to ensure a most fitting eoio.memorat.ion of Adu- lam's bi-centenary. The chapel itself has been painted, and already the villagers ane vying with each other in setting their houses in order. Painters, decorators, plasterers, and masons have certainly no cause to complain, os tiwy have lately had a grand time locally.

DAFEN.
DAFEN. .A successful chair eisteddfod was held at Maescaaher Baptist Chapel on Saturday last, presided over by theRev.P.Phillips,with the Rev. T. R. Williams as conductor. The programme was of a varied and interesting character. Mr D. Davies, A.C., conductor of Bethel Chapel Choir, Llanelly, was the adjudi- cator of the musical portion, and Mr. J. J. Hughes (Peredur), Liangennech, adjudicated the miscellaneous portion. The Dafen Male Voice Party (conducted by Mr. J. H-owells) succeeded in winning the first prize. The test piece for the chief rccitatLon was "Y Ddae-argryn yn Sicily," the author being Mr. Ben Davies (Pelydrof,'), Dafen. The success- ful competitor was Mr. J. Harris, Felinfoel. Great praise is due to the committee, and es- pecially to Mr. Tom Davies, Halfway, secre- tary, and Mr. W Davies, Penallt Road, who ac-ted as accompanist. The chair was the gift of Messrs. Davies and Sons, Station Road, Llanelly. -0-- Local musicians may be pleased to learn that a movement is being made to create a juvenile drum and fife band in the village. The suggestion is worthy of consideration, ¡ and a meeting of the committee and members' of the late adult band will be 'held shortly, when the question will be fully considered.; In the meantime it is hoped that all inter- I Rioted will be prepared to rally round. Excursion trips have already "comui-enoud, the first being that of a section of Maescanner Sunday School members to Parkmill on Mon- day last, when an enjoyable tiInoei was spent. The preaching gymanfa" will be held 011 Tuesday and Wednesday week, in a field near Aelybryn and in our next issue we hope to deal at greater length with this interesting event. -0- The local eleven again did well on Saturday against Swansea Thirds, time alone saying the Tawe team from defeat. J'ere Griffiths was again in evidence with the ball, taking 4 wickets for 26 runs, besides contributing 18 tuns The top scorer was E. Roberts, with 24 runs, and who just now is going strong with the bat. D. J. Saunders (21) and J. Williams I (12) also batted well. Next Saturday a league match will be played at Liangennech,

LLWYNHENDY AND DISTRICT. The! tea and concert at Berea Chapel on Saturday was highly successful in every way, and it was certainly the desire uf all /present that similar functions should he lieid more often. -0-- We are pleased to understand that a move has at last been made to get an eiateddfod on a large scale, as will be seen, from our ad- vertising columns. With such a capable sec- retary as Mr. E. P. Thomas the result need i not be feared. Quoits are gaining in popularity locally, and I with a little enthusiasm one of the local ex- perts may perhaps top the league table.

I germeeb, Loughor*'Llwynhendy. Llanelly, and I,. Pontardulais. Under the presidency of that eminent Welsh litterateur, Cranogwen, seve- ral vital matters bearing upon the inner work- 1 ings and methods of the movement were well discussed. After the close of the meeting a social tea was held in Salem Vestry, where I later able temperance addresses were delivered by Cranogwen and Mrs. Jones, rontardawe. Members of the Salem Band of Hope, con- I ducted by Mr. John Lewis, Master Glyndwr I Harry, and Mis see Gladys Hanmerton and Ethel Williams, together with Misses Winnie ¡ and Eluned Thomas, rendered valuable aid to I make the evening's programme attractive. Mrs. Hugh Jones, of Llanelly, took the chair, I and her services were much appreciated.
ii TRIMSARAN.
i TRIMSARAN. On the night. of the 26th ultimo genial Dr. Howells called, me from the house to hear the nightingale. While enjoying a rich treat, it, was very good of him to restrain from keeping the good tiring to himself. An unselfish nature is a beautiful one. A few days prior to this date, Mr. Umbleton informed me that he had heard the sweet bird several times, but I tried to convince him that he was quite mistaken. It has been said that "Philomel" | shuns Cornwall out of sheer jealousy, and if that delectable county, why not the rnagnifi-, j cent village of Trimsaran, where we are ex- eeptionally fortunate in having many lovely singers? When in Sussex I often listened long and delightedly to the Queen of Song- sters," never tiring of its marvellous song, nor should I do bo however freQuently I might hear it.—W.

J. W. Graham, Esq., | C'ulla House, acted as chairman Mr. Graham had the pleasure of distributing the certifi- cates, and also of presenting Dr Howells with a beautiful walking stick on behalf of the members of the class, on which was inscribed. —" Presented to Dr. J. Howells by the mem- bers of the Ambulance Class." It is said that- Dr. Howells, will also start a nursery class for the ladies next winter. -0-- The Parish Council met on Saturday at the Council Schools. :0-0-- ¡ The number of Parish Councils.in England' and Wales is over 7000, and while the legisla- | tion of 1894 which brought them into cxis has not achieved :JU 1}¡:¡t its promoters expected lit the direction of arousing local interest in rural parochial affairs, there is plenty of scope for sound public work to be done by members of the Councils. The Act of 1900 empowers a. Parish Council to appeal TO the County Council, if the District Coun- cil neglects to build under Part III., and further empowers the County Council to take over and use the. powers of the District Coun- cil under the. Act. It must be inferred from this that the Parish Council, is henceforth ex- pected to discuss the housing of the parish- ioners, and to request the District Council to adopt the Act wherever new cottages are re- quired. i On Sunday laet Sardis held ibeir "aaniver-: í sary services, when the Rev J.

A Union of Urban Councils. PROPOSED ASSOCIATION FOR WALES. A feeling has existed for some time that it would be very advantageous were the Urban Councils in the Principality banded together in an Associa- tion, which, whilst preserving its individuality, would work. where advisable, in concert with the National Ucban Council's Association. With ? view to inaugurating the movement, a conference was held in the new county buildings, Llandrindod Wells, ou Whit Monday. Mr. James Ed wards, Chairman of the Llandrindod Wells Urban District Council,1 was voted t) the oiwir. r STf^SBI .= Mr. Spowart presented a list of Councils who were either represented at the conference or had expressed their approval of the proposed associa- tion, which included some of the principal Councils in Wales. The population repre-ented by Councils who were either represented or who had expressed approval of the scheme was 388,077. Mr. Spowarfc enumerated the reasons for the establishment of a Welsh Association. They all agreed, he said, that the National Association was a force. If the councils of Wales were banued together the National Association would be bound to give better attention. There were particular questions which affected Wales. He suggested that the nLti, L sbculd go no further than a pledge by the representatives present for the expediency of forming an association for Wales. As to the subscription, thought a purely nominal one would suffice. The fallowing resolution was moved by Mr. Howells, Llanelly, and seconded by Mr. Tom Taylor, Fontypi-idd: "That the representatives of Welsh urban district councils here present are of opinion that it H advisable to form an association j of the urban district councils in Wales, and that j such association be fonned accordingly, and the representatives here present resolve to recommend their respective councils to join the association." The I eshtion was unanimously carried. Particular emphasis was laid on the fact thit it would be the association's earnest desire to act in concert with the National Association. Mr. Arthur .Be8 (secretary of the National Association) ppoke in favour of the proposed Welsh Association, and expressed the earnest hope that the association would be successful and work in harmony with the National Association. A provisional -committee was appointed of non more than one representative from each council present, or which had signified its approval of the scheme, to consider and draft rules for the associa- tion, ant to report to a further conference. Mr. Spowart v appointed Secretary pro. tern. QUOITS. LLANELLY v. LLANSAMLBT. The above teams met io a League Match on Saturday iasf. Scores:— LLA'SL^A Y. George Madley 9 W.
