The chair was taken by the Rev Canon Hughes.- The Chairman, after explain- ing the object of the meeting and pointing out the necessary conditions, etc, said that this was a golden opportunity for Barmouth to start a movement so as to secure the inestimable boon of a course of scientiffic lectures by eminent mea who can pre sent their facts in a popular and interesting manner. —Letters regretting inability to attend were read from Miss Griffith, Arianfryn, who promised her hearty:support. Mr Wilson Roberts and Alderman Lewis Lewis sent messages to the same effect.-The Rev J. Gwynoro Davies pointed out that there could only be one opinion in the matter.

Mather strongly seconded the proposition.—After Dr Hughes, Mr H. Evans, Mr Adams, and Mr Tom Abraham had spoken in favour of^the^lectures, the proposition was carried unanimously.—The follow- ing were then elected a committee to make pro- visional arrangements with regard to the applica- tion:—Canon Hughes, Revs J.Gwynoro Davies and Z.Mather and Dr Hughes, Messrs J. Thomas, E. D. Hughes, M.A., Hugh Evans, J. H. Richards. The Rev Canon Hughes undertook to discharge the duties provisiollldlyof secretary. The Chairman warmly urged on each one present to do all in their power to create a healthy interest and en- tnusiaam in the movement. Their object was to stir the minoa, of the young out of the lethargy and torpor which too aften characterised their attitude in relation to intellectual pursuits. Min isters knew too well that that was so. The com- mittee will meet again at seven p.m. on Tuesday next.
