HOLYHEAD. LIBERAL DEMONSTRATION. A Liberal meeting was held in the Town Hall on Wednesday evening, under the pre- sidency of Lord Stanley of Alderley. On the platform there were Mr A. Osmond Williams, M.P., Mr Ellis Jones Griffith, M.P.. Mr W. S. Owen, C.C., Mr W. D. Jones, C.C., Mr J. N. Thomas J.P., Rev R. R Hughes, B.A., Rev William Griffith, Mr John Thomas, C.C., Mr H. G. Williams. There was a large and representative audience.—Lord Stanley, in opening the meeting, dwelt upon the iniquitous Education Act. His lordship said that he did not blame the Minister of Educa- tion for enforcing the law, and that Minister could not be blamed if he administered the law in a fair and impartial way. But when unfair Jaws were passed their only remedy was to put in a Government that would re- peal the Acts which they felt to be unjust. The majority of Voluntary Schools were in a scandalous order of disrepair. The obliga- tion of renitiiying that laid with those who had the management of these schools, and it I vvas imperative that it should be attended to at once. The only effective action that could be taken, was thai, where public money was 'I expended that thero should be puble man- agement.—The R;'Y R. R. Hughes, B.A., moved a vote of censure upon the present Government, and also a. hearty vote of sym- pathy with the Liberals of Merioneth in their gallant fight against a tyrannical Govern- ment. measure against an unwilling people. -MrW. S. Oven, C.C., seconded in a Welsh speech, and brought ejaculation of '"Shame." when he referred to the aged min- isters and others who were put in gaol for standing t-o the;r moral convictions and principles. — Mr. Osmond Williams then addressed the meeting, and alluded to Lord Stanley as perhaps the greatest living autho- rity on education. He dwelt upon the Fiscal policy, the. unjust Licensing Laws, and the Education and Defaulting Acts. He was loudly cheered when he turned to speak in Welsh. Referring to the House of Lords, he said there were very many noN.? men members of that body, and he had many friends amongst them; but, as a body, he could not expect any good from them. The Education Act was the most iniquitous Act ever passed by any authority. The recent Rye election had plainly showed what the public thought of it.—Mr W. D. Jones pro- posed the following resolution Ti:ifl,t this meeting expresses its unabated con- fdeive in our honourable member, Mr E. J. Griffith and that it pledges itself to return him to Parliament at the iiext election, with an increased majority, should he be opposed." — Mr J. N. Thomas, J.P.. seconded, and the motion was carri 'd witii vociferous cheers.—Mr E. J. Griffith., who, on rising, was heartily cheered, said that he would havo to follow itie xaiiipb' set by Merionethshire, by addrerong them in Welsh. After n graceful reference to the marriage of Mr R. H. Williams, for a long time thl) secretary of 'the Liberal Associa- tion. the hon. member went on to speak of tlie Government and the fiscal split. Messrs Chamberlain and Balfour, he said, had lest the confidence of the country. All the Liberals in the House were tired of them. Most of their friends were tired of them. They simply stayed in office apparently uuiy for their salaries. Referring to home matters, he said that a-6 Welsh Liberals they were egtjtled to Disestablishment IHId to new education and licensing laws.—T4** meeting terminate# with ihe u-a*4 of thanks.

The examination was closed. THE REVIVAL.—On Thursday evening, the Rev. E. Williani3 (B.), Rhosllanerch rugog, preached at Caersalem (B.) Chapel. —The usual united afternoon prayer meet- ings were held at the same chapel. — On Monday, a united prayer meeting was held I at Eugedi Chapel; and at six o'clock, a pro- fession formed in Castle square, and marched through the streets of the town, xinging Revival hymns. The Rev Ellis James Jones, M.A., conducted the service, in which part, was taken by Revival con- verts. Whilst prayer was being offered by a boy in the gallery, three young women were observed talking, hnd O¡;,e of the con- verts prayed God to take compassion t n them. This incident created a profound impression. The si aging vva-n very good. No converts were announced.

The Militit. under the command of Captain and Adju- tant Hill a-nd Lieutenani Pritchard; the Royal Naval Volunteers, under the com- mand. of Lieutenant C. A. Jones and Sub- iLiehtenant E". W. Jopes; tii,,e Yeommry. under tha command of Lieutenant Dayid- aoa; the Rifie Volar.teer«, under the com- mand of Major Liaate;t«knf*Evaaa, and Quarter-Master Armstrong; and the Artillery Volunteers, under the command of Major Whiskin and Lieutenant Hughes, assembled in Castle square about 10.30, a id, headed by the baud of the 4th Batt. R.W.F.. marched to Christ Church. Inside the church the Militia band played the hym: 8, the organ being still dismantled. As a pro- cessional the well-known hymn "Jesus Christ is risen tc-day. Alleluia," was sung. The ViMr (the Rev J. W. Wynne Jones, M.A.). took as the subject of his discourse the word ''Hallelujah." and spoke of the Resurrec- tion. lie also mentio'ied that that day was St. George's Day, and pointed out that the national flag was an embodiment of the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew. He thought it was right that they should re- cognise the festal day of St. George as well as the festal day.. of St. Andrew, St. Pit- rick, and Si. David. Were it not for Er-g- land the rest would be a scattered lot of .i n. significant nationalities. On the coinage of the realm was a figure of St. George sl iym:; the dragon, which was emblematical of the victory of right over wrong, of purity over impurity, and of innocence over gttilt. Re- verting to the t eaching of Easter, the V c-ar said at a service of thot kind they should think r.ot only of their own dear ones but of those who had died for their God, their King, and their country, tmd in whose memory a monument had been ereetoo on Twt.hiil. The service was largely attended, and was most impressive throughout. PENDREF COMPETITIVE"] EETING.

SERVICE BETWEEN CARNARVON AND MENAI BRIDGE.—A correspondent writes as follows:—The inhabitants ought to support the Ferry Committee in their on- deavour to bring visitors into the town. Un. doubtodly. the progressive party on the Coun- cil havrt well considered the. future of Carnar- von, and they have provided proper and much-needed facilities for bathing, &c. The latest proposal is to purchase an up-to-date 6teamer to ply between Carnarvon and Menai Bridge, and to ruu in connection with the Liverpool and North Wales C'o.'s steamers. It is to be hoped that the lu.tter company will again renew their generous offer to advance the Council a five yeara' subsidy to enable them to purchase- a suitable steamer. Mr Rowland, father of Mr W. 11. Rowland, yacht builder, of Carnarvon and Bangor, has placed for disposal in the hands of our yachting friend, Mr Alvvyne Carter, such a steamer. She is called the "Nellie," the following being a description of her:—Twin screw steamer (wood), built by W. Roberts, yacht builder, Chester. Length 60ft., beam 12ft., draught 3ft. 6 inches. Two cabins, lavatory and w.c.; cabin tops and scats of teak. Flush deck. with awning over afterdeek. Teak steering wheel, brass engine-room telegraphs, wrought iron stanchions and rails, folding seats, side and mast-head lights. &c. Machinery by Messrs E. Timmins and Sons, Limited, Run- corn. Four 6-inch cylinders by 6-inch stroke, high pressure, silent exhaust; bilge pumps, and steam donkey pump. Boiler, steel, marine type, by Messrs Lindsay Baruett and Co., Glasgow, in perfect condition. Work- ing pressure, lOOlba. Speed, 9 miles (easily). This boat was built under Board cf Trade survey, and has a No. 5 pa,s.euger certificate for 117 passengers. It is fitted with Myer's patent propellers. The Ferry Committee have already had a trial trip. Last Thurs- day there was, practically speaking, one of the strongest tides ever known in the Swiliies. The chairman of the Ferry Committee (M? J. T. Roberts) insisted that, the steamer Mr Carter was offering the Council should be put to a test. on that day. On board the steamer were the Chairman of the Ferry Committee, Cduncillors D. T. Edwards, J. Fletcher, Owen Evans, Mr Robert Jones, in- spector of Seo. Fisheries, and the consulting engineer (Mr Pritchard. of Portdinorwie). All were very pleased with the steamer be. fore reaching Portdinorwic, and when the crucial moment arrived to face that ap- parently impossible whirlpool, the good little steamer surpassed herself with perfect e-ase in steaming the strong tide to the great delight of those who went to see that they, as representing the ratepayers, were this time going to get good value for their money. The "Nellie" is, we understand, offered to the Corporation for a ridiculously small sum, considering her capabilities, and it is to bo hoped the Council will not let this golden op- portunity slip by, but that they will establish a. connection with the Liverpool steamers, which we, as tradesmen, so greu.t!y desire. ENTER.TAINMENTS.-On Monday and Tuesday nights two grand variety enter- tainments were held at the Guild Hall. The proceeds wci-o in aid of the Catholtic Schools. Owing to a mishap to the Cine- matograph it was impossible to show the animated pictures on Monday night, but all present were admitted to an afternoon per- formance on T uesday.

EVAN ROBERTS IN NORTH WALES. VISIT TO BETHESDA. SINGING MEETING TURNED INTO PRAYER MEETING. ¡ The annual Gymanfa Ganu was held at Jerusalem Chapel, Bethesda, on Friday, and wab attended by Mr Evan Robrets and the Rev John Williams, of Prince's road, Liver- pool. Tho advent of Evan Roberts unex- pected as it was, into the meeting at onc-o extinguished the sprit of choral singing, and the meeting vvas instantly converted into a, prayer meeting which continued with extra- ordinary warmth for a couple of hours. Then the chairman, in view of an evening session due to start at five o'clock, officially closed the meeting, but the congregation would have no closing and a perfect storm of prayer broke forth from all parts of the chapel, which, seating a thousand people, was now packed with 1,500. Evan Roberta spoke briefly in the course of the meeting, and one parson confessed Christ. In the evening the chapel was agaiu packed, prayer and praise being continuous. The noise created by the ptbpie at the various inner doors trying to force their way in became so great in the course of the ear vice that the Rev John Wiliiama left the pulpit for the purpose of restoring order. Afterwards he endeavoured to regain admis- sion into the chaoel, but tailed, and finally took refuge in a vostry. Î EVAN RODERTd AT BLAENAU FESTINIOG. Mr Evan Roberts arrived at Festiniog OR Saturday afternoon with th.) Rev John Williams. It was arranged that Mr W:1 liams should be the guest of Mr G. U. Ellis, Penmount, the High Sheriff for Mer- ionethshire. At three o'clock on Saturday afternoon Mrs Eilis was observed driving through Blaenau Festiniog to meet the train from Bctt wsycoed, and almost simultaneously the news flashed through the town that Mr Evan Roberts had suddenly decided to ac 1 company Mr Williams to Festiniog. Soon the people were streaming along the streets towards the station, but few were there in tirnt to see Mr Williams and Mr Evan Ro- berts hurry along the platform to the High She-riff's carriage. j Penmount, which stands on an eminence 600 feet above the renowned Vale of Fes- tiniog, is situated three miles from the town, 'I ;.& two miles of streets v'hich form part of tht maiu road were thickly lined with spec- tutors, who, almost without exception, ie- spertfuliy took off their hats to the distm- gii'bed visitor. Greater homage could not have- been paid to Royalty. The face of lie- Revivalist, aa be repeatedly took off his hat i.1 acknowledgement, was radiant with smee. at the welcome accorded to him. | On Saturday night tho Rev John Williams i preached in Peniel, Festiniog. Mr Evan I Roberts accompanied him. For close upon ) an hour after the service started people from far and near flocked into the chapel to have a view of the Revivalist, who was seated in i the big seat immediately below the pulpiT. The noise occasioned by various late corncf forced the Rev John Williams eventually to atop preaching, and to suggest converting" the service into a prayer meeting. Mr Evan Ro- berts, who is very averse to idle curiosity, then rose and left for the chapel house, where he remained during the rest of the sermon. As soon as Mr Roberts left quite a. hundred cf the intruders quitted the chapel, On Sunday morning the Rev John Wil- liams and the Rev Owen Owens preached at Peniel. Mr Eva.n Roberts was again present, but, there was an entire absence of the un- becoming disorder of the previous night.

It is not given to everyone to sing at his own funeral. This has been accomplished by a Cork merchant. At the conclusion of tho ceremonies, {L phonograph was turned on, and the mourners listened to the dead man's voice chanting the Requiem. It ia intended that each anniversary of his death is to be commemorated in a similar mann-erj Printed for the Proprietors by Thomaa Jones, and published by him at the "Ob- oerver and Expires" Office, New Harbour* Carnarvon.
