Penmaenmawr "Terriers." DINNER AND PRIZE DISTRIBUTION, COLONEL DARBISHIRE AND THE GERMAN SCARE. The annual dinner and prize distribution of the F Company, 6th Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers, took place at Penmaenmawr on 'Satur- day evening. The Drill Hall, in which the din- ner was held, bad been prettily decorated for the occasion with flags and bunting kindly lent by Mr. David Hughes. The preparation of the dinner was in safe hands, Mrs. Phillips, Para- dise Crescent, with her usual skalfulness, laying out an excellent spread and providing a number of charming young ladies to wait upon the wants of the soldiers. Captain H. T. Jenkins presided, and he was supported by Colonel C H. Darbishire, Surgeon-Captain J. R. Williams. Lieutenant Watkin Darbishire, the Rev. Griffith Matthewa (Vicar), the Rev. D. P. Davies, the Rav. Caleb Williams, Mr. W. D. Jones (ex. Chairman of the Urban Council), and others. After full justice had been done to the good things provided, cigars were handled loumd. ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR. Captain Jenkins, who was well received, wel- comed the company to that dinner and said that he had a very satisfactory report to present re- specting the company, which was increasing in numbers. When they were constituted as the Territorial force they were only So in number, but last year they had risen to 114, and went into camp with 112 men. By now the number had increased to 119, and onJy one recruit was required to bring the company to its full strength. Because of its newness there was some difficulty about the musketry course, but he felt that they would do very much better next year, especially with the new rifles which were stored in the armoury. During the musketry season he hoped every man would finish his course early in the new year. They would al- ways find some of the officers on the range. The battalion shoot, as far as they were concerned, was very satisfactory, although they could hardly expect to attain such a brilliant result as the previous year. Personally, he w not sorry that they had not more cups, because he felt that they should be divided between the bat- talion. Since the F Company's first entrance into the competition they had won every cup that had been offered, and on two occasions they had as many as five cups in their posses- sion. The camp at Abergavenny was an enjoy- able one, although perhaps some of the men found it a quiet place. The battalion got an excellent report. Next year he had heard un- authoritatively that they would be camping at Aberystwyth between the 14th and 29th July, when the whole of the Welsh division of the Territorials would be there. He tendered his heartiest thanks to his brother officers, Lieuts. Darbishire and Cemlyn Jones, for their great help in the management of the Company. He was also greatly indebted to Colour-Sergeant Instructor Cox for the work he had done with the men. He concluded by wishing all present a very happy Christmas and a, prosperous new year. (Cheers.) Col.-Sergt. F. D. Chantrey, on behalf of the Company, tendered his heartiest thanks to Capt. Jenkins for the way he, had entertained them that evening. He also took that opportunity of congratulating Colonel Darbishire upon the very high praise given the battalion at the last camp. At the call of Sergeant Chantrey, three hearty cheers were given Captain Jenkins, and he was accorded musical honours. Captain Jenkins returned thanks. THE KAISER WOULD HESITATE! Colonel Darbishire was received with accla- mation. He said that the only way to maintain the excellence of the battalion was by working for each company, and not for themselves. If the battalion got a good character it sihed lustre upon each member of it, and it behiolved them all to maintain their character during th-eir daily occupation. Respecting the numbers, he was most anxious when he met commanders of others battalions that they would not be able to aay that he was short of men. The Colonel went on to give excellent advice to the men with regard to the new musketry course, and also to the proposed divisional camp at Aberystwyth, where they would be going through some very interesting exercises. He went on to point out how well established Germany was for turning out of Dreadnoughts. What was that for? They had no Chores to protect, and the only ocean they rested upon was the Baltic, and therefore why on earth should they want to build these Dreadnoughts, and the curious thing was that when they were five or six years old, they were out of date. He also referred to the toast of The Day," which was drunk by Germans whelil there were no strangers about. Why was England spending five or six millions of money at the great naval base near Edinburgh, which was opposite the Baltic Sea? If the Kaiser came over to that gathering he would hesitate before coming to attack England. (Laughter.) The Territorial force should appeal to everybody. It was part of their civil life, and what was re- quired was the growing young man from 17 to 18 years of age. He tendered his heartv thanks to Captain Jenkins, and also to the comimjis- sioned officers of the battalion. (Applause.) Surgeon-Captain J. R. Williams said he had to propose the toast of the visitors, and he coupled with it the name of their new Vicar (the Rev. Griffith Matthews). He wished to pay a tribute of respect to. his friend and comrade, Captain Jenkins, for the high state of efficiency to which he had brought the company. It was second to none, not only throughout the bat- talion, but the whole of the Brigade. (Cheers.) Captain Jenkins was highly popular with his brother officers and men, and the fact that 1, he was the Mess President was a sufficient cri- terion of the respect and esteem in which he was held. He had the interest and welfare of the Territorials at heart. Referring to the new Vicar, he said that no one in Penrnaeninawr took a greater interest in the auxiliary forces than the Rev. Mr. Matthews. (Hear, hear.) PREPARATION FOR WAR. The Vicar, who was accorded a hearty recep- tion, .said this was the first occasion upon which he had attended such a gathering but he sin- cerelv hoped it would not be the last. He was a man of peace. He taught and preached peace, but he felt strongly that if they wanted peace the only way to secure it was to be prepared for war—(hear, hear),—or for any emergency. He could only express the hope that he would be able to meet them often. As far as he could see, there was no way in which he could be connected with the company. If he were younger he might have been able to become one of them. (Applause.) He referred to the fact that in Bristol he had a fine bodv of young men who belonged to the Church Lads' Brigade. It was not limited to those who attended Church, but all young lads could join, and he was now glad to find that large numbers of them had joined the Territorial forces. He wished them every success in this great enterprise, and he congratulated the men upon having such an ex- cellent commander, and also captain, whom he thanked heartily for giving him the great pleasure of being present. (Cheers.) Captain Jenkins said they could not disperse without heartily thanking Mrs. Phillips for the most excellent dinner she had provided. Mrs. Phillips had catered for the company for some vears. Not onlv did she provide an excellent meal, but she also provided charming young ladies to wait upon them. (Applause.) THE PRIZES. The company dispersed, and outside the men fell in and marched to the Oxford Hall, where the prize distribution took place. The hall was crowded. The first item on the programme was the chorus, Crossing the Plain," by the Male Voice Choir, conducted by Mr. H. Christmas Jones, followed by a recitation by Mr. Dan Ro- berts. A comic song by Sergeant Hughes was well, received, after which Lieutenant Darbi- shire exhibited a number of magic lantern views.

Festiniog and the National Eisteddfod of 1912. At the Blaenau Festiniog Town Hall on Fri- day night at the close of a lecture by the Rev. H. Elfed Lewis, Mr. H. Ariander Hughes, the chairman, referred to the strong feeling existing in the district in favour of inviting the National Eisteddfod of 1912 to the town. (Cheers.) The one held there in 1898 proved a great success, both literary and financial. The Rev. R. Silyn Roberts, on behalf of the Welsh Society, proposed: that the chairman of the Urban Council be asked to convene a public meeting to ascertain the feeling of the inhabit- ants on the matter, and the motion was carried with enthusiasm. The Chairman of the Council has acceded to the request

The Melodies of Wales. ADDRESS BY DR. LLOYD WILLIAMS. An enthusiastic meeting of the Manchester Welsh National Society was addressed by Dr. J. Lloyd Williams, Banigor (a native of LLanrwst), on the melodies of Wales. The' chair was taken by Dr. Emrys Jones, and Dr. Lloyd Williams was assisted by members of the Cambrian Con- cert Party. Dr. Lloyd Williams said that the collections of Welsh melodies published oetween 1742 and 1844 do not fairly represent thenational music of the country The bulk of it consists of harp tunes not furnished with words, and the col- lectors were either North-Walians or foreigners. The folk-songs of North Wales and the still richer store of folk music of South Wales found no place in printed collections. The religious revival created a very strong prejudice against the old country music, with the result that a great deal of it, after first falling into disuse, was forgotten and ultimately lost. The collections of Maria Jane Williams and of leuan Ddu, the second volume of the 'Welsh Harper." and the Nicholas Bennett collection of melodies showed that there were a great many melodies in the country which were not in- cluded in the old collections, and that these re- presnted many distinct and interesting types of folk music, often furnished with charming lyrics. An account was given of the beginnings of the Welsh folk-song movement; of the first meeting of the new Welsh Folk-song Society at Carnar- von in 1906, when papers on the subject were read by Mr. A. Percival Greaves and Sir Harry Reichel, and of the extension of the movement at the meeting held in connection with the Llan- gollen Eisteddfod. As a result of the renewed interest taken in the subject and of the energy shown by the secretaries (Mrs. Mary Davies ano Miss A. Preeoe) the membership of the Society is now close upon two hu,n,d(red the first num- ber of the journal of the Society has appeared, and the amount of material already collected is so great that it has been decided to bring out two numbers this year instead of one. The journal will contain unpublished melodies, to- gether with the words sung to them, and his- • torical and critical notes by various experts, English as well as Welsh. In this way it is hoped to bring )together a mass of valuable material for the use of the student and the musician as well. It was pointed, out that the .greatest need of the movement at present is an increased number of energetic and sympathetic collectors, as every years sees a diminution in the number of peopfe who remember the old melodies. Charming illustration were sung by the Cam- brian Concert Party. Among them were Ffarwel Mari 11 and Y ddau farch by Mr. Llewelyn Hughes Yr Hufen Melyn by Mr. Barnet Jones Doli and Breuddwyd y Bardd by Mr. R. R. Williams, and the part- songs Yr Hen Erddygan," Caniad Pibau Morfudd," Moel v Wyddfa,' Ffarwel i blwy' Llangower," and Tra bo dan." The next meeting will be held on January r-vth, when Mr. S. Maurice Jones, Carnarvon, will deliver his lecture on The homes of some famous Welshmen."

Trefriw Council School. ANNUAL ENTERTAINMENT AND PRIZE DISTRIBUTION. Juvenile entertainments are, always popular at Trefriw, but never is the Public Hall better fined than on the occasion. of the annual prize distribution in connection with the day school, which took place this year on Thursday even- ing last. The distribution was preceded by an enter- tainment of the highest merit given by the scholars. The chairman was Mr R. H. Wil- liams, Plas Gladys, and the Rev. J-Ienil Jones acted as conductor. The first four items on the programme were done by the infants, in charge of Miss Humphreys. All four items proved thor- oughly enjoyable, and reiflected the greatest credit on those who had trained the little ones. Their singing was bright and in good time, whilst their recitation, No joke to be a baby," was much enjoyed, and the Kindergarten game, as well as the scarf drill, were skilfully per- foimed. The Chairman, said it ,gave him much pleasure to be present, and to see so many present to pay a tribute to Mr Roberts, the head master, and his staff, and also to the Managers, and also to witness the performances of the scholars. They all felt that just now the country was at boiling point with excitement, and fighting speeches were to be heard' on every side, but there they were all united in love and unity, brought together by the influence of the child- ren. (I-I ear, heTI.) Trefriw had an interesting history in the mat- ter of education, and for the sake of those present he would give a brief account. The first school was held at Ysgubor Gerrig, built by and supported by the Gwydyr Estate The master was a Mr Hughes, who was also clerk at Gwy- dyr. He eventually left and for some time there w$s no school, and on the advent of a Mr Griffiths to the village a school was opened at that very building, where they were then con- gregated, but which was then a Congregational chapel. Leaving that building, the school was removed to the old C.M. chapel, the teacher being a Mr Robert Jones, The Hiafod. This again, :'n turn, was closed, and a little later another was opened by a Mr EVlan Evans at the Church. After this came a Mr Williams, of Llanrhychwvn, who taught until a new school was built by the Gwydyr Estate, which did duty up to a few years ago. Tihere were several masters, but he wished to mention Mr Eastwood in particular, who was instrumental in creating in the village a great educational revival, which he was pleased to say had kept up to the pre- sent day. (Cheers.) The Rev. Henry Jones supplemented the Chairman's address by the remark that five scholars had been sent up this year to the County School, and each one had passed, a great record, and one which any school might well be pioud of. An interesting programme of songs, recita- tions, and sketches was then, oointimied. One of the best songs was The funny little man of Chelsea." by six girls, who all had charming voices, and' sang in delighltful tune throughout. Master Bibby created endless fun and amuse- ment with his ventriloquism up-to-date, as well as in the farce entitled A Surprise Visit." He was well supported by Herbert Evans. The action song entitled' Suffragettes simply brought the house down,, their efforts being loudly applauded. The distribution of prizes was performed by Mrs Ocklestone. Miss Meredith, Plas Engan, and Mr R. H. Williams.
