NOTIOE TO CORRESPONDENTS. R. F.I.Thc first step is to engage a solicitor who will ascertain all about the charity. Then a scheme has to be prepared. An inquiry would probably also be held. The processes are expensive and very slow. I intended to write privately, but pressure of work prevents me.

CARDIGANSHIRE COUNTY COUNCILS. I think I have won, although I am not elected. MORE SPORT. The ghost of 2,'Q Old Fox writes If I had been at the meeting of foxes held last week, I could have told a story that would have made sportsmen weep. I was bagged and kept for a run. Before being liberated one of my legs was tied up, as the legs of wild W elsh sheep are tied up. I started off and did my best, but what can a fox do with only three legs in a strange dis- trict against a lot of hounds. I was caught and torn to pieces, and the last thing I heard were sounds of wild rejoicings that I had been caught. Sport, believe me, is as dead as I am TO THE NEW COUNTY COUNCILLORS. Myself You have come through the elections, and it is now your duty to consider the question of aldermen. I hope you will elect sixteen Liberals, and that you will elect every one of them from your own body. Let there be no going outside to console rejected candi- dates, or to honour those who failed to become candidates. I have no faith in the best man cry, but if it is a genuine cry we shall discover that fact in I the sixt2.i elections to fill the vacancies caused by the aldermar.ie selections. Spokesman We must have a preliminary meeting to agree on a policy in reference to the selection of aldermen. We have come off all right in the first round, but there are still two rounds to fight, and the final result depends on the way we select aldermen and afterwards on the way we fill the vacancies created. I think we might put in one or two Conservative alder- men. Even the worst of Lords Lieutenants used to make a Liberal magistrate now and then. Myrelf My only desire is that whatever you do you should do it deliberately and by agreement. A STARTLING SUGGESTION. Not lovig ago an Aberystwyth Town Councillor suggested to me that all th trees at both sides of North Parade should be cut down; that the footpaths should be narrowed by many feet; and that the cabstand should extend from Baker-street to Queen's-road. He also expressed an opinion that the houses in North Parade would be converted into shops. This was startling, but I am not sure that he is wrong. To destroy the trees in North Parade would be dreadful, but utility is god in this ave, and if business comes low;, down, then beauty, alas, will have to give way. VERY RIGHT. County magistrates will have to elect half the mem- bers of the Joint Committee to whom the management of the police will be entrusted. I believe many magistrate who act are not qualified. I understand that -ery magistrate elected on the Joint Committee will be challenged to prove his property qualification. As long as property is the qualification let us be sure there is the pfbpsrty. CARDIGAN GAS. I was glad to hear that there is a prospect of obtain- ing gas at 4d. per 1,000 cubic feet. At Cardigan gas is so dear very few people use it. Aberystwyth gas is dear enough, hut Cardigan gas is half a dear again, and not by any means of better quality. What wise t men the directors of the Cardigan Gas Company must I be They see shopkeepers burning oil, but they keep up the price of their gas. Well, well, their day is drawing to a close. Water gas will finally dout their glim," A MORNING TRAIN. The train that reaches Aberystwyth at 10.25 a.m. often has to wait at Towyn and other places until the time has expired. What passengers say is that the train might be accelerated so as to reach Aberystwyth earlier, or it might be made to start later. There may be reasons only known to officials for these "waits," but the suggestion to reach earlier or to start later does seem reasonable. A BANK BALANCE. There is a balance of seventy or eighty pounds in the bank from the Cardiganshire Agricultural Society. Ought not something to be done, not only with this money, but to promote agriculture in the county. Now the County Council elections aie over we shall all resume ordinary work and business. My ideal is to have a real county society with the shows held in rotation at Cardigan, Aberystwyth, Aberayron, New- castle Emlyn, Llandyssul, Lampeter, Tregaron, and other places at which a local committee can be formed and a guarantee given. Cardigan and Aberystwyth must work more totjvther in the future than has been common ia the past. ON DEFEI T. I often think that defeat is very like death in that it is far leas dreadful to the victim than to the onlooker. I have often been defeated, and never felt the pangs and qualms in defeat that have assailed mo on the few occasions when I have scored a victory. There are scores of defeated candidates in this district at the present time, and some of them may be sore at heart, and full of humiliation. Let them be of good cheer. Defeat is not even a mis- fortune. It is only when the battle is wrong that the issue ought to bring pain, and if the battle is wrong victory only hides the shame which defeat emphasizes. More men have been ruined by victories than by defeats. The cheers of the unthinking crowd go with the successful candidates, but sympathy-the best possession—goes with the defeated candidates and remains with them, while the sound of the cheering multitude dies away almost at once. I suppose French soldiers who fought at Waterloo were as proud of that fact as British soldiers were who fought there. In the end it is the fight and not the issue that is important to the individual, Defeats are better than victories as stepping stones to nobler manhood. I am not sorry for defeated candidates, if they have fought with clean hands and not for personal pride. If they honestly desired to render service which has been declined, they can stand aside without regret, or pain, or any sense of shame. The Coast, P.W.

CARDIGANSHIRE COUNTY I COUNCIL. The polling in the election of candidates for the county of Cardiganshire occurred on Tuesday last with the the following result :— ABERYSTWYTH. At Aberystwyth votes were recorded in the Town Hall, and the presiding officers were Councillors D. C. Roberts, ex-mayor, Thomas Griffiths, William Thomas, Thomas Powell, and J. E. J. Lloyd. There was little or no excitement during the ftay, and polling pro- ceeded very slowly up to six o'clock. During the after- noon the officials found time hanging somewhat heavily on their hands sat down to a piano in the hall and struck up "Hen wlad fy nhadau," the whole company joined in the chorus. At six o'clock out of some 1,200 voters on the regis- ter, 600 oniy had recorded their votes. During the remaining two hours the officers were kept busy, and when the poll closed at eight o'clock no fewer than 1,005 had voted. Counting began in the Council room about half-past eight, and at eleven o'clock the result was announced to the large crowd who were waiting in the square in front of the hall. The Good Templars issued a manifesto asking teetotallers to vote for the three temperance candi- dates, the effect of which was to greatly assist the cause of Mr John James. At a quarter past eleven Alderman Roberts, the returning officer, went into the large hall and declared the poll to be as follows Mr C. M. Williams (L) 681 Mr John James (L) 610 '-Alr George Green (L) 563 The Rev T. Levi (L) 534 Mr B. E. Morgan (C) 49S Mr Johu Morgan (1) 336 ANALYSIS OF VOTING. George John Thomas B. E. J. C. M.

M. WILLIAMS, who was received with loud and prolonged cheers, said he was really unable to find words to express his thanks to the electors for that expression of renewed confidence in him. He was proud of the position he occupied on the poll that day. (Cheers.) fhe electors had entrusted him once again with duties pertaining to the interests of Aber- ystwyth. They had returned him at the head of the poll to represent thtm in the County Council of Car- diganshire. (Cheers.) It waa no time to make a lengthy speech that evening. They knew after the hard day's work that he was tired; but he must be allowed to say that since they had first reposed confidence in him he had endeavoured to represent them faithfully and to the best of his ability. (Cheers and a Voice: "Quite right.") That was the fourth election in which they bad done him the great honour of returning him at the head of the poll and he thought he ought to be very proud of the position, con- sidering he was not a native of Aberystwyth. That, however, was not his fault. He came to Aberystwyth as soon as he could after he was born, and if he ever had to undergo a second birth he would select Aber- ystwyth. (Laughter and cheers). Having returned him, they could rely upon it that he would do his utmost in their behalf in the County Council and he trusted that when he should again have to seek their strflTages they would have had no occasion to withdraw their confidence. (Cheers). He was particularly proud of the position he occupied that evening because last November their representatives in the Town Council thought proper to elect him mayor, and taking the position to which he had been elected as a sort of con- firmation of that hrnour, he could assure the electors that it would stimulate him to further energies on their behalf. (Applause). Alderman JOHN JAMES, who was also received with loud cheers, said he likewise was obliged to his fellow townsmen for the renewed confidence they had placed in him by electing him second on the poll. (A Voice Vigilance Committee). He could assure them that nothing should be wanting on his part in looking after the interests of the town to make them for one moment regret having placed him in that honourable position. (Applause). Mr GEORGE GREEN thanked the electore very sincerely for the very respectable number of votes recorded in his favour that day. He was not only sensible of the favour conferred upon him, but he was also sensible of the responsibility of the office to which he had been appointed. The County Council was an entirely new and untried thing. What it was going to do for the benefit of the county was to be found out. He had been endeavouring to find out what benefit it contained for the community. It took a great deal of time to comprehend all that the large Act contained but no doubt it contained some good; and no doubt, too, a great many things that had been hitherto neglected would be delegatsd to the County Council for remedy. (Hear, hear.) Among the things he had most at haart, and which he felt to some extent identified with, was the importance of proper dwellings for the working classes. (Applause.) That was a disgrace to the community as it stood at present, and he felt perfectly sure that whatever powers were conferred upon the County Council very com- plete powers would ultimately be given to it for deal- ing with that subject. (Cheers.) To working people that wa.s a matter of very great importance. (Ap- plause.) Persons who, like himself, had been much among the dwellings of the poor knew that they tenanted places not fit for human beings to live in, and if the County Council would not deal with the subject it would be much wanting in the discharge of its duty. (Cheers.) But, whatever it might be, as far as his knowledge and powers went, he should do the best he could to pro- mote the interests of the county and to perform his duty honestly. (Applause.) The Rev T. LEVI (who was asked to speak in W iZsh), said he was not going to make a long speech, either in Welsh or English. Continuing in Welsh. the rev gentleman said he was much 6bliged to the electors for returning him, though he was at the bottom of the list of successful candidates. He had nothing more to do than to promise to do his best in their behalf in the position in which he had been placed. He should like to have a quarter of an hour to explain fully the position he had taken up. He hoped he should have a better opportunity on another occasion. That evening he would only repeat his best thanks for the confidence they had placed in him. (Cheers). Mr B. E. MORGAN, who was received with cheers, remarked that perhaps the only thing he could be expected to do as a defeated candidate was to thank those who had helped to place him as high on the poll as he found himself to be. He was not much behind number four. He only wished he was as much above as below him. (A Voice It can't be helped). He was glad there had been no disturbance, and that there had been no display of ill-will of any kind throughout the day. (Cheers). Mr JOHN MORGAN thanked most sincerely those ladies and gentlemen who had supported him that day. Perhaps he oughtto thank still more sincerely those who hadabstainedfromsupportinghim. He should endeavour to earn their support, so that in future they would pay him the compliment of electiag him as one of the members of the County Council. (Cheers). Alderman C. M. WILLIAMS proposed, and Alderman JAMES seconded, a vote of thanks to Alderman Roberts and to the Town Clerk for the efficient and impartial manner in which they had carried on the election. There had not been a single hitch from start to finish and the conduct of people of the town had been most exemplary. (Cheers). Alderman ROBERTS and the TOWN CLERK responded, referring to the kindly feeling exhibited on all sides, and claiming on behalf of all officials concerned in the election an endeavour to do all they could to secure a fair election. (Cheers). The meeting then separated. ABERAYRON. Mr Hugh W. Howell, solicitor, was the returning' officer for the three electoral divisions of Aberarth, Aberayron, and Llansantffraed. The counting took place at the Town Hall on Wednesday morning. The result of the Aberayron district has quite surprised the Tory wire pullers, who, when they had succeeded to get Mr John Griffiths to oppose Mr Howell, did not disguise their joy and sanguiue anticipations that he would crush him, as the wheel crushes the fly. So much for the wisdom of the local Tory seers. Mr John Hugh Jones' victory had been predicted from the very first, and the majority proves to be satisfactory. No local interest was felt in the result of the Llansantffraed district. The liveliest satisfaction was displayed in the success of the two local Liberal Councillors. A crowd awaited the declarations of the poll, and both Mr Howell and Mr Jones were lustily cheered as they left the Town Hall. In the afternoon Capt. Evans, Dewi Lass, Aberarth, brought the children of Aberarth British School down to Aber- ayron in marching form. They were halted in front of the residences of both members, and were instructed to give each a hearty cheer, which they did. After dark blue balls were sent off and bonfires were lit. BORTH. When it was known in Cyfoethybrenin that the Rev E. W. James, Bryndderwen, had been returned with a majority of 26, flags were generally displayed and after nightfall bonfires lighted, fireworks discharged, houses illuminated, and hundreds of people paraded the streets up to a late hour. About six o'clock, the rev gentlemen and friends were drawn in an open carriage through the village and, addressing the assembly said that the day was rapidly approach- ing when laws would be made by the people for the people. The Tories, he said, had had the handling of the public purse too long in order to pension their friends and relatives. He rejoiced to find, however, that better days were dawning for the people. CARDIGAN. In Cardigan town the polling was carried on with but little excitement. The Conservatives kept up a cry of "no politics," and thereby many Liberals were induced to share votes with their candidates, but on the result being made known it was soon discovered that the no politics" was simply an election squib amply proved by the pealing of the St. Mary's Church bells. PONTRHYDFENDIGAID. On Tuesday the 22nd January, the polling for the Strata Florida Electoral Division took place. The Polling Stations were Yspytty Ystwyth Board School for the parishes of Yspytty Ystwyth and Gwnnws lower, and Bronant Board School and Swyddfynon for the parishes of Blaenpennal, Lledrod upper and lower. On Wednesday following, Mr Wm. Hughes-Jones, the Deputy ReturningjOfficer attended at Strata Florida "lo Board School, with Mr E. D. Jones, Clerk to the Tre- garon Guardians, and John Ree3, Bont Board School, his clerks, and counted up the votes. his clerks, and counted up the votes. ABERYSTWYTH DIVISION (four members)— C. M.

ABERYSTWYTH FOOT BEAGLES. On Saturday, the 12th. the meet was the third mile- stone, Devil's Bridge-road. At 12 o'clock sharp the Master made a move for Cefnllech, where we soon had I our first hare moving, and sent her at a fair pace to Pennrock, where he had a long check on the road, the scent becoming rather bad, but the hounds being lifted and cast round, scon got away on the line, and took us over Penuwchfaeh to Llwynbrain, down to Pwlly Dingle and over for Brenan, where she was lost. After a long trial our second hare was found on Blaen- whilog, and turned out to be a clinker. Sjent having improved since the morning, the hounds sent this plucky bit of fur over Cefnllech, part of Brenan, through Tyncwm Cover into the valley, then over the Nant Eos Brook up to N,*ntrhyd. Turning to the left, and going over Rhosuchan, she crossed the Devil's Bridge-road on to Pwllcenarden, through the cover, down to Rhiwarthen hask flats, which she ran for some distance, and finally getting on to the banks of the River Rheidol caused the first check. Rector and Pirate soon put matters straight by hitting the line on the other side, and this business-like pack settling down to their work, they pushed Madam over the Goginan-road, near Bwlchgwffordd, to Abercwmdole and to Llwyniorwethissa. From the latter place she ran the Lance Down, and re-crossing the road on to the flats we had check No. 2. Soon off through the river again, going over Trering, Pwllclar, and up the hill to Nant Eos Arms. Turning to the right as if for Glasgrug, she changed her mind, and ran up a lane on Pencefn, which caused our third and last check. While the Master was casting, a well-known sportsman proposed that lanterns should be got, as it was so dark the fences could scarcely be seen. In darkness or not, the Master- was not to be done, and by a very judicious fotws-rd cast the line was hit off ovar the Devil's Bridge-road, on through the Buildings, and through the Nanteos covers, over the Hendre and CefnHech up to the field where she was found. Then over the hill for Brenan, where she was run into in perfect darkness at the end of two hours and ten minutes. The ground covered must have been nearly twelve miles. Out of a field of eighteen, the following were up at the death :-The Master, the two whips, G. Williams, and G. Richardes. Wednesday, Ynyslas Station.—Had but poor sport, scent failing but late in the afternoon we had an hour on the Figgrn, and finally driving her over the River Lerry to the Moelynys rabbit warren, had to gvie her up when dead beat. CnIRo.
