SEED FAIR.—This annual fair was held on Saturday, and attracted large crowds of country people into the town. In the evening the usual stalls in Catle-street came in for a good deal off attention. Simons' fair in the Waen was also well patronised. THE IfORSE SHOW.—Despite the fact that some thousands of people visited the town on Kasster Monday, there was not a single charge of drunkenness made by the police. Deputy Chief Constable Rees spoke very highly of the order- liness of the people who thronged the streets in the evening. The laying out otf the .show ground wai in the hands of Messrs. Bar- rett and Co., Stoke-on-Trent, who gave the Committee every satisfaction with the excellent iUTangaments they had provided. PROPOSED TENNIS CLUB.—A number of young ladies and gentlemen having expressed desire that a tennis club should be formed in the town, Mr. Hugh Conway-Jones, Cadnant Park, has taken the matter up, and is enthusi- astically working with the object of procuring as many i-titending members as possible. An excellent ground for the courts has been sug- gested, EASTER MONDAY.—This was a record day for the number of visitors in Conway, and the eating houses did a roaring trade. At the rail- way station over 2,500 railway tickets were col- lected from passengers, numbers of special trains disgorging hundreds olf passengers for the horse show, which was the chief attraction. Mr. Jones, the stationmasfter, and his staff are to be complimented upon the excellent manner in which they dealt with the large crowds which -arrived during the morning and left the town again in the evening. The takings at the toll bridge also constituted a record. Although the streets were crowded and traffic congested, the police force so capably directed the traffic that not a single accident is reported. THE QUARRY COMPANY.—Satisfactory progress is. being made with the construction of the aeriial ropeway horn the stton.e qua^rriek across the Morfa to the sea, with the object of taking granite away by sea. The bridge across the matn road to Bangor has already been cori- sitiucted, and men are to be seen busily word- ing at the construction daily. PROPOSED COMPETITIVE CHOIR.—For ;orne weeks past the question of forming a mixed choir, irrespective of the Choral Society, has been exercising the minds of several local singers, the. object being to take part in the second choral competition at the National Eis- teddfod at Colwyn Bay-. A Committee has been ftjrmed, with Mr. R. T. Tlu^s as Secretary, and on Tuesday <ening. a general meeting of intending members was called together. A good number attended, Mr. Josef E. Jones occupying the chair. It was stated by some of the mem- bers that there was a desire on the part of many local singers to join the choir, and the reason for their non-attendance at that meeting was that they were under the impression that it was a meeting of the Committee only. A short discussion ensued, after which it was un- animously decidled to requt-st all intending mem- bers of the choir to send in their names to the Secretary by a week to-day (Thursday), at the latest, and afterwards that a Committee be held to make the final arrangements. Members will be welcomed from the surrounding district, in- cluding Deganwy, Penmaeamawr, Roewen, and other places.

WANTED TO FIGHT A STATUE.—On Sunday night there was considerable amusement in LacasteT-square by the antics of a man the worse for drink, who endeavoured by all kinds of threats to get Prince Llewelyn to come down from the monument on the square to fight him. He was spotted by the police and was moved 0: but owing to the man's anxiety for a fight with such objects as the Erskine Arms Hotel and the Toll Bridge, he was locked up for safety, and liberated later in the evening. ATHLETICS.—Percy Smailwood, who is de- scribed as the champion middle distance runner of the world, had (says the Pittsburg Dis- I patch ") little or no trouble in defending his title against a classy field in a race of five miles a short time ago, finishing his final lap in 26 minutes and a few seconds, being two full laps ahead of the field when he breasted the tape.

EXPERIENCED MOUNTAINEERS KILLED…
EXPERIENCED MOUNTAINEERS KILLED IN SNOWDONIA. REMARKABLE ESCAPES. The Eastertide Holidays in North Wales have been marked by two terrible mountaineering tragedies-the first on Good Friday and the second on Easter Monday. The victim on Good Friday was Mr. Donald Robertson, of 11, Chelsea Court, London, who fell whilst climbing the Glyder Fach, and died in the Carnarvonshire and Anglesey Hospital at Bangor the same night. A SAD STORY. We are specially requested by the friends of Mr. Robertson, who were with him, to publish the following official and revised narrative and memoir:- Mr. Charles Donald Robertson, who fell on Glyder Fach, North Wales, about noon on Good Friday, died soon after midnight without re- covering consciousness in the Carnarvonshire and Anglesey Infirmary, Bangor, where he was taken after the accident. Mr. Robertson had come from London to join a large party of friends in Wales on the previous evening. On Friday morning he drove with a climbing party from his hotel at Pen-y-Pass to Ogwen Cottage, on the Bethesda road, with four friends—Messrs. Bartrum, Shadbolt, Bereford, Heywood, and Donn, all climbers of proved ability. He began the ascent of the east gully on Glyder Fach, Mr. Robertson taking the lead of the climb, the rest of the party,who were roped to him in the customary manner, remaining below, waiting their turn to begin the climb. Mr. Robertson had reached a point of some 30 feet above the start, when his hands appeared to slip from the rock ledge they were grasping, and he fell head downwards upon the stones and loose snow, where the rest of the party were standing. He was unconscious on the moment of the fall. His companions immediately at- tended to his injuries, and a stretcher and the assistance of a trained nurse and a doctor were procured from Ogwen Cottage. A large num- ber of Mr. Robertson's mountaineering friends who had been climbing elsewhere on the peak, carried him as rapidly as the rugged nature of 9 the ground would permit to Ogwen Cottage. Here, after a brief examination, he was trans- ferred to a large motor car and conveyed to the Infirmary at Bangor, which was reached at about five o'clock. Mr. Robertson at first appeared to rally, but he suddenly sank shortly after mid- night, and passed away without recovering con- sciousness. MR. ARCHER THOMSON'S THEORY. Mr. J. M. Archer I tiomlon, headmaster 01 the Llandudno County School, the best living authority on rock-climbing in North Wales, who assisted in the removal of Mr. Robertson's body on Friday, first discovered, in June, 1895, the route up the Eastern Gully on Glyder Fach taken by Mr. Robertson, and he has since climbed it several times. At the inquest it was stated that Mr. Robertson's colleagues thought he had taken the wrong route, and advised him to try an alternative one. Mr. Thomson, speak- ing to a correspondent on Tuesday, stated em- phatically that the route chosen by Mr. Robert- son was the better of the two. Mr. Thomson climbed it after the accident as far as the spot where Mr. Robertson fell, for the purpose of ascertaining, if possible, the cause of the acci- dent. He has come to the conclusion that the cause was nothing but a pure slip from the some- what slabby rock.
Fatal Fall on Lliwedd.
Fatal Fall on Lliwedd. The second accident took place on Easter Monday, when Mr. Leward Salt, the head of the the well-known Burton brewery firm, was killed by a fall of nearly 200 feet whilst climbing Lliwedd with a party of friends. The accident took place on the Eastern But- tress of Lliwedd, one of the spurs of Snowdon. The north face of Lliwedd affords some of the most difficult rock climbing in Great Britain. It is very steep, and is divided by gullies into four distinguishable crags, the highest of which are the east and west peaks, or, as climbers have habitually called them, buttresses. The east peak, on which the accident oceurred, was first climbed bv Mr. Archer Thomson and Mr. Ecken- stein in April, 1903. These gentlemen also made the ascent by a new route, somewhat easier, in September of 1905. This was christened the Horned Crag route, and it was upon it that the present accident took plac. Preci-ly how it happened no one can say, for Mr. Salt was not in sight at the time. The rope was broken by his fall, and in consequence of this the other members of the party were fortunately not in- volved in the mishap. They began the descent at once, and, though naturally shaken by the accident to their leader, they got down safely. The body was carried down to Capel Curig in the evening.
THE INQUEST.
THE INQUEST. A GRAPHIC ACCOUNT OF THE ACCIDENT. Yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon, Mr. J. Pentir Williams, the Coroner for North Carnar- vonshire, held an inquiry into the cause of the death of Mr. Leonard Spencer Salt, whose age was given as 41 years, and his address as Ashby- road, Burton-on-Trent. The Rev. Sinnett Jones, the Vicar, was elected foreman of the jury. Evidence of identification was given by Dr. Thomas Salt, a cousin of the deceased Reginald Hudson, Stratford-on-Avon, said he was a friend of the deceased. They were spend- ing Easter together at the Royal Hotel, Capel Curig. On Easter Monday morning they started, accompanied by witness's daughter, from the hotel about 10 a.m., cycling as far as the cliff. They carried with them a rope for climbing the East buttress of Lliwedd, better known to climbers as the Horn Cragg route. Witness was not so experienced a climber as the deceased, and had not done this particular part before. This was not considered a very dangerous climb, but it needed a deal of care. The climb was started about 12.45, and they got up one-third of the way or less. They met two others, who were on the buttress when they arrived, namely, Messrs. Hirst and Hubback, and the five of them roped themselves together, the two ropes being looped around witness's body. Deceased led the way, and witness's daughter followed. He (wit- ness) came afterwards, followed by Mr. Hirst, and Mr. Hubback brought up the rear. All went well for some time. Just before the acci- dent deceased appeared to be in a perfectly safe position. His daughter was separated from the deceased and witness by about 50 feet. The deceased then went out of sight, and they still thought he was safe. Witness's attention was fully occupied, when he heard a thud, and some- thing falling. By the Coroner It was a severe climb, and was done by placing the hands and feet in cre- vices and making all kinds of movements. The buttress that day was dry and in excellent con- I dition for climbing. He did not think that the frost would affect the surface of the rock. His theory was that something happened to de- ceased's foothold. When witness heard the noise, he thought it was the rock falling, but his daughter cried out in agonising tones, Hold on, daddy," and looking down witness saw the body of a man sliding down the slope. He did not think it was their leader, because there was another party up above them. He called out to his daughter, Where is Leonard ? and by gestures only could she explain what had hap- pened. With some difficulty they got down and conveyed the body the body to the hotel. Miss Phillis Hudson corroborated the evidence of her father, and added that she was nearest to Mr. Salt, but could not see him at the time of the accident, as he had just disappeared from view. Deceased did not say anything, but she heard him exclaim something, and the next she heard was the fall. She quite expected the rope to pull her, but she only felt a slight tug, as the rope broke. She saw the deceased falling down the rock, and on the surface of the snow below. She was not in a perilous position, but she could not have borne the weight of the deceased if the rope had not broken. Her father and the others would also have been dragged down. Francis William Hubback, of the Cardiff, Uni- versity, said he brought up the rear of the party. He saw the deceased falling, and he also heard the rumbling as of falling rock. He had not met the deceased until that day. The Coroner, in summing up, said it was a very sad accident, and might have been a great deal worse. It was sad enough for one to be killed, but it would be appalling for four or five. The pastime of climbing had a deal of fascina- tion, and those who did not indulge in it had no conception. It was a dangerous ascent, but it had been successfully ascended by others pre- viously. It was also a difficult ascent, but the fascination was in the overcoming of these diffi- culties. He (the Coroner) imagined that it was very much more dangerous at this time of the year after the effects of the frost and the snow on the rocks. No one knew exactly how the accident happened, but they had it that the deceased was a good and careful climber. The party had no axes or anything of that kind, think- ing that the rope was sufficient. A fall of 200 feet would at once kill a person, and he was sure the jury would agree that the deceased died as a result of the injuries received from falling off the buttress. The jury returned a verdict of accidental death. The Rev. Sinnett Jones, in proposing a vote of sincere sympathy and condolence with the aged parents of the deceased, hoped that he might rest in peace, and that God would comfort his parents and friends, of whom he had a great many. This was carried by all the jury standing. Dr. Salt thanked the Foreman and the jury, Dr. Salt thanked the Foreman and the jury, and said he was certain the family would appre- ciate their sympathy very much. THE FUNERAL. Immediately after the close of the inquest, the remains of the deceased were interred in the old Churchyard. The body had been in the Church since the previous night, where a short but im- pressive memorial service was held at the late hour of 11 p.m. At the funeral the Vicar was assisted by the Rev. R. A. Morris, Curate of Halesowen, who is engaged to Miss Hudson. Amongst many beautiful floral tributes were those fron the Rev. Sinnett Jones, the fellow members of the Burton Club, the Directors of Salts' Limited, the staff and the members of the Burton Cricket Club.
