CONWAY HORSE SHOW A GREAT SUCCESS. The twenty-second annual horse show was field at Conway on Monday. Unfortun- ately, a stiff west wind prevailed in the early morning, and a portion of the canvas enclosin.g the show ground was blown away. Towards noon the weather cleared up. The field arrangements were excellent. Mr Ephraim Wood, J.P., D.L., of Pabo Kail, was the president, and Mr David Jones, Llan, Dwygyfylchi, the vice- president; Mr James Porter, chairman of the general oommittee; Mr O. Rowlands, J.P., was the hon. treasurer; Mr T. ,0, Morgan, secretary; and Mr J. U. ,lgriffiths, the auditor. Tne judges were:- HEAVY HORSES Mr James Gould, Crouchky-Lymm, 'Cheshire; and Air Edward Green, The Moors, Welshpool. LIGHT 'HORSES Mr Walter Lloyd, HarttieJd, IHove, Sussex; and Mr W. H. Thompson, Balmain (Stud, Upholland. WELSH MOUNTAIN PONrES: Mr V. P. Lort, Bryniau, near Bangor. JUMPING COMPETITION: The Presid- ent, Mr Walter Lioyd, Mr W. 'H. Thompson, I .Cot Tne Hon. H. laoyd Mostyn, Mr James Porter, Mr George Barker. PONY AND DONKEY RACES: The [President, Mr R. E. Birch, Mr George Barker. A new feature in the show this year was I the prize for the farmer's son, under 21 years of age, who proved himself the best judge of a heavy horse. Four competitors entered, the first prize having to be divided between three, all of wilom picked out the ginning horse. With regard to the quality H> £ the stocky the judges declared that there was a very great improvement in the heavy horses as compared with last year, the brood Plaresbein.g an excellent class. The teams :were also good. There was nothing out- standing in the other classes in the heavy section. Tho light horses sitowed an im- provement on last year, while the turnouts were capital. The trotting race caused much amusement and "confusion," while the races for ponies proved a fiasco. On the other hand, the jumping competition was the best which has been witnessed in North ,Wales for many years. The following were the AWARDS.

GWYNEDD EASTER EISTEDDFOD I BAND ADJUDICATION. "Old Memories. I No. 1 -Dogelley Institute (J. F. Fidlwl: Opening rather loose, but fair tone. Duet requires more care for balance, blend, and intonation, and attention to details. A little slower tempo would suit better. Allegro. Rather blatant on second cornet, otherwise movement fairly well played, Corriet cadenza good. Larghetti: Good cornet soloist, but accompaniments are too loud; a little more refinement would im- prove you. Allegro: Rather too hurried and blatant. Some remark applies to six- eight movement. At (11) a little slower tempo would improve matters. Euphonium cadenza very good. Andante: Accompani- ments again too loud and not good in intona- tion. Euphonium should read better, Slight slips with soprano. Trombone goto taken too fast and trombone fails slightly. The whole movement needs more delicate treatment. Duet cadenza too measured and inelastic. Allegro modeTato: Very good playing, but second cornet is still rather brassy. Allegro: A very fair rendering to finish, but needs more attention to tune and general details. No. 2.-Moeltryfan Brass Band (J. W. Stubbs, Crewe): —'Opening rather Mattered and cleaner tongue required. Intonation out at (1)- Larboard Watch: Duet fairly rendered, but intonation is very much out. Solo cornet very flat in entering at (2). Move- ment needs a general overhauling. Accom- paniments very fair. Cornet cadenza fairly rendered. In this old chair, cornet does very well, but a little more refinement would improve. Soprano a little out at entry at (7). "Who deeply drinks of wine" The best bit of playing you have done, and much better in tune. This has been a good movement for you. Euphonium cadenza: Good. Soloist is rather too blatant and ac- companiments too loud. Soprano does very well, a very fair movement. Beautiful Dreamer: Trombone does fairly well, but accompaniments are too loud and intona- tion is at fault. Soprano again very good. Duet cadenza Rather too measured, but in good tune. Allegro moderato: Now the band is much better intoned all round, and give a very good rendering of this move- ment. Finale: Well played, but top cornets a little too strident. More attention to de- tails generally throughout the whole of the selection would improve matters greatly. A very fair performance, however. No. 3.-Nantllo Deulyn Silver Band (J. F. Fidler).—A very good opening, and a good cornet and baritone. Duet very good. Blend, balance, and intonation all of the best, but tempo a shade fast. A very fine cornet soloist, also trombrone and euphon- ium. Accompaniments excellent. Cornet cadenza: Al and solo is the eame. Accompaniments again good, and, soprano entries are good. A good movement, but I observe a few slips in soprano, "Who deeply drinks of wine." Well played with th "ception of a few slightly blurred notes. "Old Towler" Well played, but should take a little slower tempo at (11). Euphon- ium cadenza: Excellent. Euphonium does well in solo, and cornet is an artist in his entries. Accompaniments good. A splen- did movement, well played with the excep- tion of a few blemishes by soprano. Trom- bone solo Good solid playing and artistic shading. Soprano is excellent from (15) on. Duet cadenza: A treat to listen to. Allegro moderato: Good movement, well played. Solo cornet again gives me a treat at 18; and soprano is in his best form. Accompani- ments also good. Finale: Finely rendered with grand tone, fine spirit, clean execution, and good intonation. A performance that will take some beating. Far in front of the two previous bands. No. 4.-Penmfienrna-,vr Silver Band (J. F. Fidl,er).-A grand opening, really first class. Everything of the best. Duet going very well, and accompaniments nicely subdued and well in tune. A set of good soloists backed up by a good body of accompani- ments brings to the close an artistically played movement. Duet cadenza: Artisti-

Trouble on Trouble FIRST RHEUMATISM, THEN RCXEMA I DEVELOPED FROM A CHILL. BOTH DISORDERS PROMPTLY YIELD- j ED TO DR WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS, There is a striking illustration of the ola' proverb that troubles never come Mngly in the misfortunes of health that befel Mrs Catherine Burgess, of 36, Furnace Hill, Chesterfield. A simple chill led to a dis- i ordered state of the blood, and this gave rise to the rapid development of two most aggravating ana' painful disorders Rheu- matiem and Eczema. At length, Mrs Bur- gess took Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and through the Tich, red blood these pills supplied she was completely cured. Describing her case to a reporter Mrs BuTgess said:— Tired and Overheated. Caught a Chill: Rheumatism with Eczema Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cured her. "I had taken a long walk one trying day and returned hornet tired and over- beared. Foolishly I sat in a draught and thus caught a chill. My head felt dizzy, my eyea burned, and cold shivers ran down my spine. "Then followed sharp agonising pains in my shoulders and back, and at length my arms and legs were tor- turoo with acute stinging pains. In a few days 1 was racked with Rheu- matism from my shoulders to my feet. I Later, 1 be- came aware that I was anemic. The cliitl had affected my blood and this was weak- ening my constitution. I was languid, nervous, and very pale. The weakness with I the tortures of Rheumatism made almost any exertion impossible, and I had the greatest difficulty in looking after the house- hold. Then eruptions formed on my skin, and an extremely irritating inflamma- tion spread over ane. It proved to be Eczema, and made me most unsightly. "I had tried remedies for the Rheumatism without relief, but knowing that Eczema was a blood disease, and being thoroughly run down and nervous, I made up my mind to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills, for I had I read of most obstinate cases beitng cured by these pills. 're "I got a supply and took them regularly. After a few days' treatment my nerves were calmed, and the pains in my legs. shoulders and arms diminished' considerably. As, I continued Dr. Williams' Pink Pills my veins were fed with new blood, and I lost the sickly pallor on my face. Then the pains of Rheumatism left me, the inflamma- tion of the skin and Eczema were also rapidly disappearing. I persevered with the treatment, and my general health im- proved wonderfully. In a remarkably short time all traces of Rheumatisim. Eczema and Ancemia vanished ana' I was completely cured." Here is positive proof of the gren.t- value for internal and external dis- orders of the Rich, Red Blood that only Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cn make. Through this new -h-'ood these pills supply overflowing strength, ool,nd nerves, and a clear, healthy skin. Resides Annemia, Rheumatism, and Eczema, they have also cured Debility, Indigestion.

In this series of specially written articles, we purpose answering the various arguments used by advocates of Tariff Reform.

WHAT IS TARIFF REFORM? Tariff Reform" is a proposed.revolution- ary change in our system of national taxation —a change that would affect, for better or for worse, every household in the kingdom. At present oGovernment imposes Tariff duties or taxes ii!.)oii only a very small number of the eommodiues imported into this country from abroad. The chief commodities thus taxed are alcoholic drinks, tobacco, tea, coffee, sugar, and sub-; lances containing sugar. None of these commodities excepting alcoholic drinks is produced in this country; and it is important to note that these drinks, when manufactured in this country, are taxed equally with those imported from abroad.

FREE TRADE v. TARIFF REFORM. The merits of our present system by com- parison with that of the Tariff Reformers are, firstly, that the whole 0: the money raised by these taxes goes into the National Exchequer; and, secondly, that the cost of collecting the taxes is comparatively small. Tariff Reformers, on the other hand, pro- pose to put taxes on all commodities, whether food commodities or manufactured goods, that are brought into this country from abroad, subject to two exceptions or qualifications. Firstly, they say that no Tariff taxes are to be imposed upon raw materials for use in our manufactures. Secondly, that commodities imported from our Colonies or other Dominions are either to be admitted free, or are to ba taxed more lightly than those im- ported from foreign countries. Tariff Reformers argue that these proposals would have the following beneficial results 1. Additional revenue would be brought into the National Exchequer. 2. The importation of foreign manufac- tured goods into this country would be dis- couraged, thus providing more employment for British labour. 3. The importation of foreign food com- modities would be discouraged, thus stimu- lating the production of theee commodities at home and in our Colonies. In exchange for the benefit thus resulting to the Colonies, it is expects that they would give a "preference" to our manufactures by imposing lower Tariff duties upon these thjcxn upon foreign manufactures. The minimum Tariff Taxes proposed by Tariff Reformers upon commodities imported into this country are 5 per cent. upon food, and 10 or 15 per cent. upon manufactured goods. But there is no unanimity or official support of the Tariff Reform League regarding per- centages. Plainly, the most important of these pro- posed taxes are the taxes upon imported food. Tariff Reformers maintain that food taxes at the rate of 5 per cent. upon imported corn and meat, being only lB. on each sovereign's worth, would not make food any dearer to the consumer, because the foreign growers of the food commodities would sell them 5 per cent. more cheaply for fear of losing the British market.

THE FUNDAMENTAL ERROR. Actual experience of food taxation, how. er, both in this country and abroad, has conclusively proved that tbese anticipations of the Tariff Reformers are entirely mistaken. One of the ablest Conservative Chancellors of the Exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach (now Lord St. Aldwyn), believed at one time that a tax of Is. per 4801b. on imported corn would not make flour any dearer to the con- sumer. Afterwards he frankly confessed that he found himself mistaken for, in fact, corn became Is. dearer immediately the tax was imposed, and later, when the tax was taken off, corn immediately became Is. cheaper. Again, in Germany and other countries which have had experience of food taxes, it has been found that food prices rcse by at least the amount of the taxes. and sometimes more than that. For example, at the begin- ning of August, 1908, the price of wheat in London was 31s. lOd. for 4S01b. In Berlin at the same time wheat of the same quality was 4&1. 8d. for 4801b., or lls. lOd. dearer; and lis. lOd. was the precise amount of the Ger- man tax. Two months afterwards, in the middle of October, the London price was 31s. 2d., and the Berlin prico 44s., being 12a. lOtI. dearer, or actually Is. more than the amount of the German tox. British agri- culturists laugh -at the notion that food taxa- tion would not raise prices. The very purpose and intention of the taxation is to raise prices—otherwise, the Tariff Taxes would be no encouragement to the growing of British corn. It should be clearly understood that the proposal of Tariff Reformers is to impose the 5 per cent. Tariff taxation on all kinds of im- ported food. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain at first proposed that no Tariff duties should be put upon imported maize nor upon bacon, because British farmers need maize at its cheapest as food for their animals, and because imported bacon is an important food of the poorest working people, Mr. Chamberlain thus ad- mitting, by implication, that duties do en- hance prices. Now, however, practically all Tariff Reformers are agreed that the 5 per cent. Tariff must fall on all food commodities alike.

EFFECT OF FOOD TAXES ABROAD. Let us remember also that the food taxes imposed by foreign Governments on their im- ports of food commodities were small at first, and were afterwards made much heavier, on account of the complaints of the agriculturists that the small taxes did not sufficiently com- pensate them for the increase in the cost of living caused to them by the Protection Tariff system. Foreign experience is a surer guide as to what we may expect than are the pro- mises made by our Tariff Reformers at pre- sent, when they are striving their best to ren- der their proposals attractive to the masses of the people. Even now, British farmers declare that the 5 per cent. tax on wheat will not be nearly enough to enable them to grow wheat against foreign and Colonial competition. The earn- ings of the farmers, we must remember, will be reduced by the increased cost of feeding their animals, consequent on the taxation of imported feeding stuffs and agricultural ma- chinery, and they will, therefore, clamour for compensation in other directions.

PRODUCERS FIGHT CONSUMERS. In fact, as we see from the example of other countries, the only ultimate limit to the weight of the food taxation will be the result of the perpetual struggle between landowners and larmers on the one hand to force the taxes higher, and of the consumers on the other hand to keep them down. As it is more diffi- cult for consumers to combine than for pro- ducers, the result of the struggle can only be in favour of the latter. W. R. Y. F. T. F,

I cally treated. Cornet solo goes magnificently with the exception of a few blemishes by soprano last- two bars. "Who deeply drinks of ,wine" Again a well p iayed movement. I have nothing but praise for the whole of this movement. Euphonium cadenza Ex cellent. Euphonium soloist rather spoils his solo by overblowing his instrument a little, causing a little faulty intonation. Move- ment otherwise good. Trombone eolo rather hurried, and a few blemishes by soprano spoils, and otherwise good movement. Duet cadenza: Trombone a little out in intona- tion, otherwise good. Allegro moderato: Good playing, and accompaniments are finely rendered. Finale Rather spoiled by hurried finish, which caused an unsteadiness to creep in. Soprano out of tune to finish and blurred notes. Nevertheless an excel- lent all round performance. Has run number three verv close. 1, Nantlle Deulvn. 2, Penmaenmawr. 3, Moeltryfan. ) March Contest, "St. David" (Test Piece). No. 1 Band (Dolgelley Institute), conduc- i tor, Ir J. F. FidlBr. A fair'y attacked opening and well in tune with the exception of soprano, who shades out a little; and slips creep in. Bass solo fairly rendered, and general reading good. Trio: Not subdued enough, and should have more delicate treatment. Never- theless a fairly well played march. No. 2 Band (Moeltryfan Brass conductor, J. W. Stubbs. A loose opening, one instrument having a note all to himself. Cornet is playing very well, but the band' intones poorly, and could do better with less blowing, and paying more attention to the relative length of notes. Trio Needs a lot more refinement J and better intonation, and more correct reading. No. 3 Band (Nantlle Deulyn), conductor, J. F. Fidler. J. F. Fidler. A good smart opening, played with the buoyant spirit which is charactertistic of the music, but you rather spoii your fortissimo by blatant playing. Soprano is rather unfortunate. Trio is grand. Sorry I for soprano, but you have rather spoiled this portion. A little less tone, and more close attention to detail would have put you in I front of No. 1 if soprano had not failed. No. 4 iBand (Penmaenmawr Silver Band), conductor, Mr J. F. Fidler. Another good opening, and you have things well in hand. Good soprano, but I can "hear" you if you play a little more p. Band proceeds capital, with good blend, balance, and intonation. Trio Ar- tistically rendered with the exception of a few slightly blurred notes by soprano. Sonrano should tone down a little, it would be an improvement. A very good perform- ance, and slightly in front of all others yet. 1, Penmaenmawr Silver Band.
