Successful Garden Fete at Glan Conway. PROPOSED PARISH HALL. The beautiful grounds of the Glan Conway Rectory were yesterday (Wednesday) the scene of a charming little garden function, the pro- ceeds of which were to be devoted to the fund which is being raised for the building of a Church house for the parish. Everything had been well organised, and the stalls for the mo&t part were laden with articles which had been made during the past year by the members of the Ladies' Guild of Workers. There were a large number of people present, who were received by the Rector (Rev. Griffith Williams) and Mrs. Williams. THE OPENING CEREMONY. Mrs Crosfield, of Colwyn Bay, attended to perform the opening ceremony, and the Rector, speaking at the outset, referred to her kindness in doing so, remarking that as she had come from another parish it was a special favour on her part. He remarked that people nowadays had so much to do in their own parishes, that it was difficult to secure help from outside at all. (Hear, hear). The Rector proceeded to explain the object of the function, pointing out that every chapel of importance within the parish had a class room, wheras the Church had none. He 'dwelt upon the necessity of a Church, room in which to hold Church meetings, children's gathering, socials, etc. Mrs. Crosfield formally declared the function open, in the course of a happy speech. She also pointed out that at the present day, a Church room was an absolute necessity for ensuring the success of Church work. Master Bertie Coates then presented; Mrs. Crosfield with a pretty bouquet, and the Rector formally thanked her for her services. The stallholders were:- Plain work stall: Mrs. Jordon Evans, Mrs. Maddock, Miss Hughes (Ty Isa), Miss Bell Britton. Baskets, etc., stall: Mrs. G. Williams (Rect- ory), and Miss Jordan Evans. Cake stall: Mrs. Wellesley Cotterall. Toy stall: Miss Treweek and the pupils of the Bodhyfryd school. Fancy stall: Miss Jessie Treweek, Miss Perrin. Miscellaneous stall: Mrs. Rogers Jones. Ice Cream stall: Miss Elsie Rogers-Jones, Mrs. Ellison. Aunt Sally Mr. Perrin. Tea tables: Misses Hughes (Ty Isa), Mrs. Phipps, Misses Nellie Ellesmere, Vaude Coates and others. I ENTERTAINMENTS. An entertainment arranged by Mr. Allan Lewis and Mr. Van Hey was given, when the following sustained; an interesting programme:—Miss Hasnep, Mr. Van Hey, Mrs. Wesllesley Cotterall, Miss Adams, Mr. Allan Lewis, and Miss Keene.

THE POST OFFICE.—At a special meeting of the Corporation a letter was read from Mr. Walker, the Conway Postmaster, asking if the Council had any objection to the Llandudno Junction office being closed on Wednesday e,-enings. -Councillor Stott considered this was preposterous, as there were a large number of private residents in the neighbourhood, who would require the use of the office. Several members laid objections, and it was finally de- cided to reply that in the opinion of the Council the proposed closure of the office would not meet with the requirements of the public. PRESENTATION.—On Thursday, the teach- ers and scholars of the Council School assembled in the Central Hall to perform a very interesting ceremony. It was well-known to most readers of this column that the esteemed and highly- respected headmistress of the infants' depart- ment was relinquishing her duties that week. On behalf of the managers, the headmaster, Mr. D. Lloyd Morris, presented her with a timepiece in solid oak case. Again, on behalf of the staff, she was presented with a silver cake basket, bearing the inscription, Presented to Miss M. W. Jones, by the staff of the Llandudno Junction Council School, on the occasion of her marriage Midsummer, 1910." On behalf of the scholars, Miss Jones was presented with a silver fruit stand bearing a suitable inscription. Miss Jones acknowledged the kindness of those who had subscribed, and wished her successor as happy a time as she herself had experienced at the Junction. The meeting was brought to a close by Mr- Morris calling for three chrers, which request, needless to say, was complied with in the heartiest manner,

MODEL YACHTING.—Owing to the incle- ment weather, the club racing on Friday was postponed, but several of the members and visi- tors braved the elements and had several im- promptu races, which provided considerable excitement.

For the benefit of her health, she had been stav- ing in the country in Herefordshire, and here she had a relapse, and died on Tuesday morning. She was very popular with her fellow pupils at the school, and although only seventeen years of age, she was a. willing worker at the Methodist Chapel, where she attended with her family. The body was brought to Llanfairfechan on Wednesday, and buried in the afternoon, the funeral being a private one.

THE GOLF CLUB.—At a meeting of the committee of the newly-formed Golf Club, it I was reported that the family of the late Mr. Owen Owens, London and Tanyfoel, Penmaen- mawr, who was president of the club at the time of his death, had kindly presented a silver chal- lenge cup of the value of £ 20 to be competed for on the links of the club. The first competition for the cup will take place next Month. THE TERRITORIALS.—On Saturday after- noon there was an excellent muster of the local Territorial Company, under Captain H. T. Jen- kins, at the Drill Hall, when they marched to the railway station to join a special train for Bow-street, Aberystwyth, where they will undergo a fortnight's training. The company, which was practically at full strength, presented a very smart appearance. ANNIVERSARY SERVICES.—The anni- versary services of the Sunday School were held at the English Wesleyan Chapel throughout last Sunday, where there were large congregations, the attendance of visitors being exceedingly good. Special sermons were preached in the morning and evening by Mr. 1. H. Brindley, Bangor, and in the afternoon a special service was held for scholars, parents, and friends. Collections were made in aid of the Sunday School fund. SACRED STUDY.—The quarterly meeting of the Arllechwedd branch of the Society for Sacred Study was held at the Vicarage on Thurs- day last, the Sub-Warden, the Rev. J. W. Ro- berts, Conway, presiding.

The next meeting will be held in the Conway Vicarage in September. THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOLS.— The report of the Diocesan Inspector of the exa- minations held at the above schools has come to hand. In the infants' department 47 first- class certificates were awarded, 38 second class, and 33 third class, and in the mixed school 54 first, 56 second, and 67 third. Special certifi- cates were awarded to Etta Margaret Williams, O. H. Jones, Katie Hughes, Willie Cliffe, Trevor Jones, William Jones, John Elias Williams, Albert Hughes, Herbert Jones, and Maggie M. Williams. Referring to the mixed schools, the Inspector stated that the whole syllabus was followed by careful and thorough teaching. The majority of the children answered correctly and intelligently all questions asked. Their knowledge of Old and New Testament history was particularly correct. The Church catech- ism had also received adequate attention. The children in the three groups in the infants' school acquitted themselves very well. They had been carefully instructed and answered the questions intelligently. They sang sweetly, and repeated correctly the prescribed portions of Scripture and the Church catechism. Diligence and care- ful teaching must have been given throughout to achieve such good results. FORTHCOMING PROPERTY SALES. On Tuesday, the 16th August, Mr. F. A. Dew will put up for auction at the Mountain View Hotel, the attractive freehold property known as the Dwygyfylchi Post Office, situate on the Conway Old-road. The property consists of a post office, with a village shop and store-room, and a sub- stantially-built residence which is always well let to visitors in the summer. The property is in the midst of some of the most charming and picturesque scenery to be found in Wales. On Friday, the 2nd of September, Mr. Dew will conduct another very important property sale in the Grand Hotel, comprising well-placed commercial properties, freehold building land, and leasehold dwelling houses and cottages, being the property of the late John Jones, Glas- gow House. There are nine valuable lots to come under the hammer, and in addition the book debts belonging to the estate of the late Mr. John Jones, approximately amounting to ZI,800, will be sold by tender. The sol- icitors for the vendors are Messrs. Porter, Am- phlett & Co., Conway, Penmaenmawr, Colwyn wyn Bay, and Llanrwst. THE SEASON is in full swing at Penmaen- mawr, and large numbers of visitors continue 11 to arrive daily. The beach in the mornings pre- sents a very pretty spectacle.

The Penmaenmawr Golf Club, whose sporting nine hole course, so beautifully situated between the mountains and the sea, were opened earlier in the year, and has been visited and favourably com- mented on bv many well-known players have arranged a novel competition for August Bank Holiday week. Having the good fortune to be presented with a magnificent silver challenge cup in memory of tkeir first President, the late Mr. Owen Owens, they have decided that it shall be competed for under the following conditions, the event to be open to members of any recognised golf clubs — The inital play shall be by strokes, and will extend from Bank Holiday to the following Friday. Competitors will have the option of taking out as many cards as'they please during these five days, at an entrance fee of is. per card, but not exceeding one per day, and the players returning the four best nett scores will on Saturday, August 6th compete by match play for the honour of appear- ng in the final, which will take place on the same afternoon, also under match play conditions over 18 holes. The name of the winner will be en- graved on the Owen Owens Challenge Cup, and he will also receive half the fees accumulated in the initial stroke competition, 25 per cent going to the other finalist. A competition of so prolonged and novel a nature will doubtless appeal to the sporting instincts of a large number of the golfing fraternity, and the Penmaenmawr Golf Club are to be congratulated on their ingenuity in evolving an event of so unusual and pleasing a nature.

The best man was Mr. Richard Lloyd George, son of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, v ho, with Mrs. Lloyd George, P, present at the wed- ding. Among the many wedding presents was a c-Id watch and chain from Mr. and Mrs. Lioyd George. In proposing the health of the bride and bride- groom, the Chancellor said his brother had that day ceased to be a Home Ruler by joining the Unionist party, but the union was that of hearts and affection, and he wished them long life and happiness in that state. He had known both for many years, and the less he could say of his brother the better. It was about forty years since that his brother hit him in the eye, which was still marked. The Chancellor referred to other incidents of their early life, and said that he owed more to his uncle and his brother than to any others, for for they had freed him from the drudgery of busi- ness with much self-sacrifice and devotion, to enable him to follow his public life. If Pro- vidence had blessed his work he owed the oppor- tunity to his uncle and brother. For any man to devote his life to the compli- cated problems of the State thoroughly it was essential that he should be free of anv other work. Laughter greeted the Chancellor's remarks that, if he continued to hold his position in the Government, he should, by way of reciprocation of kindness, be pleased to deduct seven and six- pence from his brother's income-tax when he made application. In similar vein, the bridegroom replied that his brother's reference to the incident of forty years ago made him feel he was a man of mark. The Chancellor left with his brother and the bride by the four o'clock Irish express for Lon- don. Mr. and Mrs. William Lloyd George will pass the honeymoon on the Continent.
