Jennings, the Mayor of llangiora, Mr Jennings states that »f his letter had been read at the meeting it would have been seen that the letter was. not one of protest. It was a letter written three weeks, ago at. the request of the liangiora Patriotic Committee, that the men would be entertained on whatever day was decided upon, but suggesting that in view of the exception taken in eome' quarters to a Sunday outing, the run should be altered to a Saturday. That letter had been replied to by the secretary to the Automobile Association to the effect that the day "could not be changed, as cars were not available on Saturdays, and the reply had been considered eight days ago.
