flruwstli Deanerp magazine. Vol. V. (New Series). AUGUST, 1909. No. 200. GENERAL. The Sunday School Trip to Aberystwyth and the Coast will be run on Monday. August 16th. For times of Trains see Poster. LLANIDLOES. Much sympathy is felt with Mr. and Mrs. Hopper who have lost their daughter by the most painful of maladies which she bore with much fortitude and resignation. Mrs. Greknhow has very kindly presented the Church with a handsome oak hymn board which will be placed on one of the pillars and be helpful to those who cannot see the one on the pulpit. We often read in the Magazine of gifts to other parishes but very few come our way. We hope Mrs. Greenhow will have set the fashion !

Great anxiety was felt as to the weather for the Garden Fete on July 14, and more so as the prevailing tendency had been towards cold and wet, and we wanted two fine days running, for the Fete and the Wedding next day, which was almost too much to hope for. However, the fates were kind and neither on the 14th or 15th had we anything to complain of. The attendance at the Fete was excellent, and the Stalls and especially the Tea Tables were well patronized. The Tennis Courts were not so fully occupied as usual, but all the varied assortment of games had their respective patrons, and the Pierrots, who had been specially engaged, and who gave remarkably good entertainments afternoon and evening, drew large numbers of hearers and brought
