6th WELSH. I Re-Union Arranged; for October 28th. October 2Rth with the 6th Welsh1 is „ a day of proud memory, for on that day in 1914 the battalion left Swansea en route for France, the first Welsh Territorial battalion to ()nnctiYe.4;erviee, and now in 1919 it has been' decided, as the result of a meeting on Saturday, that on 28th the battalion, w til hfild a reunion for all who have served during its existence, to take the form of A de- I monstration through the principal streets of- the town, to be fMlowed light refreshments iand; a scuoking concert. There was a large attendance of'old members or the 6th Welsh at, the meeting callecl at Mond Buildings on Saturday to: discuss- the question of a reunion Major .Gibbons occupied the chair, and was supported on the platform by several offieprs wlio, have-served during past ye..r..and during the great war with J the Pattalion, The chairman said thatdt had been felt that a re-union should lie held, some said long before the present time, but others thought it should mark some special date, such; as the return of the cadre from France. The 6th Wtflsh should endeavour to k})ètbr as far as possible, as they had formed, a glor,ious battalion, which bad done glorious work from a military point pf out in, Franoe. Col. Sinclair urged that the re-union should be fpr all past and present mem- bers. Major Morgan, who, said he had been oonnectad. with the battalion for 36 years, thought it should be held each year. -and that also an association should be formed for the purpose of giving a helping hand to one another. Q.M.S. Benalick suggested the date of October 28th for the occasion, and also thought the demonstration should be made a feature of the day. and on these suggestions a resolution was passed. Major Arthur Thomas was appointed secretary, and Major Gibbons treasurer, and a committer consisting of two mem- bers from Swansea and each of the out- | lying detachments, was appointed.

FISH PRICES. I ♦ A Warning From | Liverpool. I There is yet, it seems, a. go-oa deaV.of i J discontent in some places at the high prices fish is disposed of to conguoiers. Drastic action, however, is tlireatf?lled1 Mr. W. H. Quilliam, managing director of the Manx Fisheries Association, Ltd., unless there is a gTeatiinproTement eSec- tod very prom-ptiv, and a material de- crease in prices shown. I In a typewritten circular, Mr. Quiiliam states that on Saturday laot fish was bought in.some-wholesale markets by fish dealers at 2d. per lb., and sold at a Is. per lb. retail to the "publicand quite re- cently fish was being sold-retail at Is. 6d. per lb. which cad cost the dealer only ikl. jier lb. If the same fish had bt-cn soltl for 6d. per lb. the retailers could have  ( easily sold three, times the "quantity. .But retailers/continues the circular, pre- fer t'"to^buy 'a, small stock of fish, sell, it at excessive prices to' the public, knowing thereby that they contribute to being the cause of thousands of pounds worth of fisli ..being left glzitted- on the-; wholesale hiarket, tons of fish even goift bad and haviog to be destroyed. WARNING TO RETAILERS. c The círcttlar" conéludes with the lollow- ing warning: We have deckled to an- neunce our intention publicly to the re- tail fish tradets that unless fish hs" sold in the retail fish shops during the next fortnight at fair prices, only allowing a just profit to the tetaller, we shall at once commence to open retail shops on a very Ilarge scale on our own, and "solicit the oo-operation of every fish boat owner 4n the country." Councillor Percy Moiyneux was seen by one of oay reprtventatives on Monday re- specting the abofp allegations. at once ridiculed the assertion that- fictitious prices for fish had been adopted by local retailers. He assured our representative that- Swansea retailers had done every- thing possible to keep prices dowti, and that the charges. made, ia the Liverpool i circular certaifily could, n6t "apply to Swansea. La?t k, added, Ji?h was making 6s. a stone?at Swansea Fish Mar- kef, and retailers were d?po?in? whole fish at 6d. per lb., and cuts at 3d. per Ib.

FOR THEATRE-GOERS, Mr. Byrne's Policy for Coming Season. I hare no doubt (writes Mr. Tom Bytnefc of the Grand Theatre. Swansea), that ray- patrorus would like to get some idea ofi the fare likely to be ofierei to them dur-' ing the coming season, so for this purpa?al| I am asking our good friend the Editor to'' place this space at iny disposal. The most important of theatrical com- panMs are usually those paying first visits; with latest London successes, and of I this!: class we have Roxana," A Temporary I Gentleman," « Arlette," r" Scandal," "Shanghai." Daddalums," The Pur- ple Mask," and The Freedom of th; Usas." I .think you will agree quite nice little bunch." Of ro.,urn visits we hare Leg "Rouges e: Noirs,"«those really splendid army ell- tertainers who finish at the Savor Theatre, London, on the Saturday, and) open here, on the following Monday. Swansea should turn out en masse to this show, not for a.ny B?ntiiuentai: reasons, but because they have never seen' anything better ip the way of good, dean refined entertainment, and very little as good. Another favouTtfte is the t'eorél; brooking musical comedy, The Maid ti" the Mountains," the London run of wir eh. Iloqks as if it will never be determined; that oh! so sweet Irish comely, H Peg o' My Hqirt," who would not want to see it time after time; the great Russian play, "The Yellow Ticket"; our old friencfei. and Her Late Majesty's most obedient' servants The Royal Carl Rosa Olvra Co., who will probab:y include in their reper-; toire The Marriage of Figaro," and alsoj their latest production, The Masks": those evergreen musical come- dies, The Merry Widow" and Gippy Love the breezy Naval spv-play" "The Luck of the Navy" and The Female; Hun," the latter really should have been in the list above as the Lady (?) makes: her bfrw to a Swansea audience far tht) first time. Ladies (and gentlemen, too. for that, matter) are that it i- pos^ib-e to order tea or offee, in the ptepalati rn pf which every care is taken, .to. en«ur« its being properly server], which will 121 served during the intervals by the at- tendants either at the tables in the new- lounge or taken to the t you occupy.
