TOTAL ABSTINENCE SOCIETY. I An enjoyable meeting was held at the Ragged School on Saturday even- ing, Mr. Radcliffe presided over a large audience. The following took part: Misses Violet Morse, Kate Evans, Martha Williams, Dolly Fullow, Ethel Thomas, May Davies, Messrs. Itees Wil- lians, Harvey Morgan and William Eaton. A sketch by the Waunwen girls entitled, "Looking for a Servant" was the chief itom and caused much amusement. Miss Gertie Thomas proved an efficient accompanist.

CHEAPER FARES. í ( SWANSEA TRAMWAYS co's. CONCESSION TO THE WOf*KP £ QPLE. I INTERS HNS REPORT The seventy-fourth annual general meet- ing of the Swansea, Improvements and 'I ramways Company Co. was held at Kings- way .London, to-day, Mr. C. G. Tegetmeier (chaivman) presiding. In his address the Chairman said ;-1 have now to move that the directors' report and statement of ae- counts be received anil adopted. Our tlXtitic receipts for the paet year amounted tl) I £ 61,368, or £ £ 23 more than in the previous yea;" and tbo number cf passenger? carricd was 10,901,000, as compared with 10,416,000. For several years past our traffic receipts I have shown a continuous increase, and al, though the increase last year is less than we ha1, e experienced in the immediately preceding years, we have, I think, in the circumstances, every reason to regard the J result with satisfaction. As you will re- member, the weather conditions during the bummer 01 laet year were very nnfavour* able. I think they were snore unfavourably at Swansea than at m«t other parts of the kingdom, and the distinctly pleasure traffic which contributes largely to our receipts vas ^ery adversely affected. Then in aÚdi. tion to the unfavourable influences of bad weather, we hu.d the after-effects of the I coal stiike, which, by lessening the spend- ing poorer of the community in the eur- 1 roundmg districts, materially affected the auabe:- of holiday visitors to Swansea dur- ing the summer, and the cocsf'nucnt tra? on our lines. edification of Fares. Another factor which affecta a comparison of our traffic receipts with those of preced- I ing years is the modification of fares which came iato force a.t the beginning of last year. As you will notice, the increase in our receipts is not proportionate to the in- create in the number of passengers carried, for the d64,000 additional passengers we car- ried would have given us at our former rate of average receipts per passenger an in- crease in receipts of over £ ".7C0 instead of the £ S8S which we actually received. This is due to the operation of the arrangement embodied in our recent agreement with the Swansea Corporation in connection with the tenure of our lines which I referred to at our last meeting. Lnd§ £ -thi8 agreement the company inacia tho concession which I". I think, unique in tramway undertakings in the Kingdom, of carrying workpeople, that is workmen and workwomen, at the workmen's fare of one halfpenny per mile at all hours of the day. Tho result is seen during the Past year in an increase of 875,190 passengers carried at the workmen's fare. No doubt a consider- able number of these passengers were pas sengers who would not have travelled at all unless they had been able to do so at the reduced fare; but probably a very much larger number were passengers who had pieviously paid the ordinary fare, and who would have continued to pay the ordinary fare, and the figures indicate cløarly the value of the oonces-sion to the working class population of Swansea. It is interest- in? to note that the total namber of pas- sengers carried at the workmen's fare of one halfpenny per mile represents nearly 20 per cent. of the whole of the p&Mengers carried. The Other Side. I On the other sirle of the revenue account I our expenses show slight increases nnder several heads. Power and running ex- penses are Z695 mors, mainly owing to th9 increased cost of coal, and partly to addi- tional car miles run, and administration and general expenses are zE265 mere. On repairs and maintenance we spent. £ 7,468, and in addition to this actual expenditure we have set micto £ 7,000 out of true yeaj-'s revenue for prospective renewals, which has been transferred to the renewals ac- count, making a total of C14,468, or practi- cally the same u" in the previous year. The expenditure on renewals amounted to F3,457, anl our renewals account, after charging it with this amount, will stand at £ 15,719. The amount payable to the Swansea Cor- poration in respect of the leased linea is £ 7,767, or £ 826 more than in the preceding year. The amount includes for the first time a sum of C575 5e. lid., being 2 per cent, upon our gross profits, which, in accord- ance with the recent agreement, the Corporation will receive in the ensuing 30 years during which we have fixity of tenure of our own and of the Corporation linep The net result of the year's operations, including the £1,71.3 brought forward from tha previous year, is a divisible profit of £ 12,349 16s. lid. We propose to place to re- serve the same amount as in the preceding year. viz. the reserve to £ 38,858, and after paying the dividend on the preference shares amounting to £ 2,598 8s.. to pay a dividend on the ordinary shares at the rate of 5 per cent, per an- num, which is the same as we paid in the preceding year. This will require £ 6,500, ani leave CI.751 8s. lid. to be carried for ward. Satisfactory Progress. I The company has made satisfactory pro- gress during the last few years. In 19C6. when we were working the same route mile- age as at present, our traffic receipts amounted to E45,462, and we were able to pny a dividend of 2 per cent. Last year's figures show an increase of nearly £ 16,000 in our tratnc receipts, and the dividend ha-s increased by successive stages to 5 per cent. I see no reason to doubt that this progress will be continued. The short ex tensions of the lines about to be con strueted by the Swansea Corporation will much improve traffic facilities, and the pro posed Town Hill I ramw ;v, which :s now the subject of very careful consideration, in whi.h the company is lad to co-operate, j may be R?pRctRd. when conGtr'iC't.f.c1. tell t have = important effe" upon the future development of the town. We may, I think, anticipate that the growth and pros- perity of Swansea* which the Corporation are using well-directed measures to further, will be rejected in a corresponding growth ia our revenue. Before concluding, I should like, as on marry previous occasions, to express the board's recognition of the services of Mr David James, our general manager, and his staff. The company is fortunate in being well I served by a loyal and efficient body of workers

LGSS TO WELSH MUSIS. I DEATH OF A WtLL-KKOW!) C3M- | POSES AND foJHSUCiOH. MR. D. BliYN EVANS. By the death, on Saturday morning, of Jlr. D, Emlyn Evans, Wales has 10.:>1; one of her mo&t prominent musical sons. For nearly Hfty years Mr. Evans was widely known composer, adjudicator, j conductor, and critic, and since 1880 up to a few years ago chore was not a single iNaiioixai Eisteddfod in which he had not taken part in some capacity or other.. jir. Evans was born near Newcastle Emlyn, and, when twelve years of age, was apprenticed to a draper in that town. In ius younger days he was considered to be tne possessor of a fine alto voice, wfiicn subsequently de- veloped into a pure tenor. At the age oi twenty iie went to Cheltenham, ami found means there of studying the ■organ. He became attachect to a local choir, and toon blossomed out as a con- ductor. But his great delight was the composition of music. He won his first prize as a composer at an eifateddiod held at Coity in 1663, and two years afterwards took two prizes at the Aber- ystwyth National Eisteddfod. These were followed with successes at Neath, 1866, Carmarthen, 1867, Mold, 1873, Pwllheli, 18/5, aud W rex Lara, 18/6. At che latter eisteddfod Mr. Ernlyn Evans won all th3 low- musical compositions, and altogether the number ox his ekj- j t-c-ddf-odic prizes exceed seventy, in the year 1880 he came into prominence as J au adjudicator, and since then few great gatherings have been held at which he did not adjudicate. The publication or his songs created J a new era in the musical history of Wales, aud his ''Bc-dd Llewelyn" still ioids its place as a ':model song." His muisicai compositions were very numer- ous, including several cantatas, an- thorns, glees, part sougs, and congrega- I tional songs. Many 01 these have been collected and published. In addition, tie has written several musical test books a.nd articles, and he arrangeriynd edited Mr. jSicholas Bennett's coilec- tion of Wreish airs, <300 in uuinbcr. For years he edited "Y Gerddorfa" and "Chi-onlef y Cerddor," and was co- editor with Mr. David Jenkins, Mus. Bac., of "Y Cerddor." He was also | the chief musical editor of the "Salmydd," the Welsh Congregational tune-book, and the new Wesleyan time- book. The deceased married the widow of the j late Mynyddog, and resided for many years at Cemmaes, Montgomeryshire,
