I BEAUMARIS REGATTA. Wet weather Badly interfered with the success of the Royal Anglesey Yacht Club's regatta, which took place on Tuesday. Heavy clouds rolling from the southwest, capping 110 they di-I the Snowdon:aii range, brought with them drenching shosersof rin I' during the earlier part of the day. At eleven o'olock there prevailerl a Blight breeze from the W.S.W., which, however, soon diminished in strength to such an extent that, although sailing before the wind, with every inch of nectary can- vas hoisted the competing yachts had not reached Puffin Island at two o'clock. By that time a dead calm prevailed. The Carnarvonshire mountains ?'n became enveloped bv the he?y ctonds which ?Hed now from the S.W.. ??t?award?the weather was of a hazy character For the handi- capped yachts from 8 to 15 tons (beam and water- line measurement), and thos6 of any rig exceeding I 15 tous, the course was as follows;—Starting from the westward of an imaginary line between the Vixen flagship off the pier and foremast of flagship thence round ten feet of Rank buoy, outside Puffin Island thence round flaeboat, off Craigydon thence round red buoy 11. 2," off Penmou back to flagship off Beaumaris to win. All red buoys, the Causeway flerch buoy being ex. cepted, to be left on the port hand going eastward, a-jd on the starboard hand going westward, leaving the flagship on the port hand on coming in to finish, and all marks being left on the port hand. The course for the 8 tons and yachts not exceeding 21ft. water-line was similar to that in other matches, with the exception that they were not to round the Bank buoy, off Pllffin, and the Causeway Perch buoy. The course for the first-class sailing boats was round the P. 2 red buoy, off Penmon, thence round the flagboat off Craigydon, and winning be. tween the flagship and the pier. The course for the first-class sailing boats was round the red buoy P. 2" oft Penmon, thence round the flagboat off Craigydon. C Th? ste?rts were Sir R. H. William' Bulkelev Bart., commodore; the M?rnuts of Ans'? sey vice commodore, and Colonel H?mp'on Lewis rear commodore. At an early hour Sir R.chard Wiil" l£ iams-Rulkelev, on board bia pleasure yacht the Viwhich acted as H?=-hip. ?a, bu,,iiv plyiug be weeu the many sailing craft moored off ?um?. giving instructions as to the cour.e. being given to those yachts which had been ejntereu in the several classes. The regatta committee, in addition to fl,,0 officers, consisted of Captain R. ap H Williams, Messrs If. R. Poole (Beaumaris), C. R. Cox (Liver- pool), F. Schwab a (Garthydon aud Manchester), J. H. Barton (Friars and Southport), and W. M. Preston. As hon. secretary Captain Johnson, R.E., rendered good service to the club, whilst Mr William Griffith was an efhoieut assistant, The first race was due off at eleven o'clock. At this time a slight breeze blew from the S.W., and soon after that the Blue Peter was hoisted as a signal for a start. The eight to 15 tons yachts entered-five in uumber-proceedell seawards with a very slight breeze from the W.S. W. Betting on shorewas rather in favour of the Wonderful, whilst many gave odds against her, hoping that the Ulerin, a craft built on the lines of the notable yacht Thistle, might win the day. The start be- weeu the yachts entered in this class was of an interesting nature. Brena led the way for a long time until the breeze diminished to such an extent that at four o'clock the competing yachts had not even covered their respective coarses. In the race (handicap) for the silver cup pre- sented by the Liverpool, Llandudno, and We)--h Coast Steamboat Company, Limited, and C10 added, with a second prize of 95, and a third prLe of f2, the entries were: -Illerin, J. Moseley, ten tons: Brena, G. R. Cox, ten to., Odille, J. H. Burton, ten tons; Wonderful, F. C. Buiuea, ten tons Rambler, J. Hand, eight tons. Rui ning before the wind, and after hoiatiug her spinnaker in good time, the Brena took the lead, followed by the Wonderful and Ulerin. which is a nodel of the famous yacht Thistle. A breeze sprangupfrom the N.N.E. and assisted those: yachts off Penmon, as well as the sailing boats, to proceed westwards, so as to pass the winning point within a reasonable time. Off Puffin the competing vejueln changed pUees, and the wind, though sometimes a dead calm, veered round to the N.N.W., thus allowing the yachts competing for the respective prizes to tack from Puffin Island straight on to Garth Point, and thence to the winuing point, For the eii'ht-tunner* the timing at the finish was as follo's II.

The Elaine (Mr Nicole) won the cup for yachts of small tonnage, beatina the Lynette (Mr Bennett). The purse for Sve-tonners was carried off by the Chance (Mr Maclver); Millie (Mr Codderton) finished second. The purse for sailing boats was carried off by the Passtime, n Llaufairfechau boat; the Muriel finished second.

THE ROYAL WELS-A YACIIT CLUB REGATTA AT CARNARVON. Carnarvon Regatta took place on Thursday. It was fully twenty minutes past one when a flying start was made by the second-class yachts. There were no entries for first and seoond prizes of E25 and E10 respectively offered for the premium winners in the class of yachts exceeding ten and not above forty tons. belonging to royal or recog- nised yacht clubs When the start for the ten- tonners took place beautifully fine weather pre- vailed, a good breeze from the north-northwest springing up. With the incomiug tide the wind gradually iucreaed, ?o that when the second I\nd I third class yachts were out the scene on the Straits was of a most animating kind. Owing to the death of Lord Alfred Paget, a near relative, the Marquis of Anglesey, who his the com- modore of the regatta, was uuable to be present. Much regret was evinced at the absence of Sir Llewelyn Turner, the vice-commodore, now pros, trated by an illness which has prevented him from attending to public business. The whole of the work connected with the regatta, in the abseuce of Lord Anglesey and Sir Llewelyn Turner, therefore devolved upon Captain J. G. Wynn Griffith, of Llanfair Hall, the rear-commodore, whose presence and services are always acceptable. When the sail- ing and rowiHg matjhes were being procseded with. the baud of the 2nd Voluutoer Battalion of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers (conducted by Mr Watts), and which was boarded on a vessel moored under the Royal Welsh Yacht Clubhouse, discoursed a Choice selection of music. For several years past there have b-e!i no entries in the claes for yahts not exceediug 40 tOIJS. Probab'y the difficulties attending the navigation of Carnarvon Bar, with its intricate channels, may have eomethill to do with this, especially when it is known that the banks are shifting year ft r year. Ir. the straits off Carnarvon the charges in the ordinary geographical position of the sand- banks are btcomiun positively » nuisance in the fullest meaning of the term. Why cannot the Royal Welsh Yacht Club have the names of forty tonoer yachts as of yore included in the list of entries'? foe IlJlIj ority ot the spectators on the tine promenade off P rthvranr 00 Thursday could really answer the question, consequently a word on this poin" is unnecessary. Throi»li thiJ courtesy of Mr DAti Hbys, we subjoin the courses as fol. low. There being no entries in the raco for the first- OlaBB yach's, the siuual gun for the starting of the yachts ev> jrel in the handicapped race was given at 1.15, and t'llt of the 5.toulI"r. was given out at 1.45. A good breeze from the WNW allowed the oompetmg yachts iu the first-class to sail to much advantage, it being nearly blowing Irom Relan Point, Carnarvon. For the handicapped yachts the leugth of the course was computed at 16 miles as follows :-To chequer buov off the bar, leaving it ou the starboard baud, thence to flag boat off Plssb-ertoL, leaving it on the port hand, aud again round the chequer buov as before aud back to the to finish leaVin" her on the starboard hand. In going to the westward of the flag-ship all red buoy. to be ,left on the port haud going out and starboard baud oa returning, all black buoys to be left ou the star- board band going out and port hanu returning. The red buov to the eastward of the flagship to be left the port hand going out and starboard hand coming back. The course in the other sailing was something similar, with the exception that j the chequer buoy was not rounded. All were handicapped. The sailing committee decided to sTatch Ulerin, which allowed the Dysilio (Mr R. Heming, R.W.Y.C.) 16mi also giving to the under mLu tion e(I yachts time allowances as follows:—Miranda (Mr W. E. Jones, R.W.Y .C.), Igmin.; Itrena (Ur G. R. Cox. R.W.Y.C.), 16mm.; Khoda (Mr F. R. -ch?v.be. R.W Y.C.), 25mm.; aud Th? R?Mer (Mr J. H?'?' of the Cheshire Yacht C!ub),30miu. The race was a most interesting one throughout. At first Brena took the lead, followed bv the Ulerin. The Miranda sailed under con- siderable disadvantage, especially as a steam yacht actually hove to ou her wake at the start, with the result that she grounded on a misty bank off the Bsll Tower. When she got off, however, she made up for the loss of time, and outside the bar was able to beat up and pass all those yachts which had made a better start. At the finish the timing was as follows Miranda 3h. 33m. Isec. Dy,ilio 3h. 38m. 22sec. Ulerin 3h. 43m. 30sec. Wonderful 311. 52m. 25jec. Krena 3b. 53m. 393ee. Rambler. 4h. 9m. Osec. Rhoda 4h. 18m. 50sec. Miranda was declared the winner, Dysilio gain- ing the second prize, and Wonderful claiming 'he thitd. The Ulerin lodged a protest against the Miranda for alleged fouling, wbich,however,wasdis- allowed by the Sailing Committee. The priz, of £ 10 offered for yachts not exceeding five tons, only brought forward the Elaine (air T, A. R. Littledale. R.W.Y.C.) and the Minnie (Mr A. T. King, R. W Y C ) The Lyuuette. owned by Mr Bennett, R.W.Y.C., did not turn up, and the race w, 0 "by El.ine iii 4h. 33rn., the time tal-ed by Minnie being 4h. 36m. 28secs. Iu the sailing boat race for those not exceeding oz kAPL the result was .— Pastime (Mr Ward, Liverpool) 1 Louisa (Mr Young. Carnarvon) 2 Seabird (Capt. G. R. Thomas, Carnarvon) 3 Chieftain (Captain Elias,Carnarvon). 4 Stanley (Mr Hugh Jones, Carnarvon) ..5 Muriel (ltr Mason). 6 I i, the match between sailing boats not exceed- ing 21 feet on watar line, the successful boats were Jane and Catherine (John Roberts) 1 Missie May (Dr. Taylor Morgan) 2 Comet (Mr«.M. Jones). 3 A special prize was offered in a sailing race be- tween cutters belonging to the Carnarvon Royal Naval Artillery Volunteer Batteries. The winner was the boat belonging to No. I Bat'ery, under the charge of Chief Petty Officer Rowlands. The boat of No. 2 Battery sailed nnder the direc- tion of Sub-Lieutenant Owen, making a good econd. Prizes valued at ten guineas were offered for amateur boat fours. The boat yclept, the .John Pool, was mnnned by a scratch crew of Cambridge University men, coxswained by Mr R. Davies. Their opponents' boat, the Lizzie, was steered bv Mr Willie Litherland. Soou after the start, owing to the choppy sea, the University men's boat wa3 swamped, but fortunately did not capsize. The crew showed considerable pluck in rowing to the winning point, having pr-viously baled out a considerable por- tion of the water. The crelv of the second boat also met with a mishap, two oars being bioken at the start. In the fouroBred gigs race the first' prize was taken by Robert Evans (Santa Cecilia), and the second by Captain Evans (Queen of the Isles). The first prize iu junior fours race was won by John Poile (W. A. Jeffreys, coxswain), Lizzie second (George Litherland). Other aquatic competitions of minor import ance to k place, the old-time duck hunt finishing the regatta. There was a display of fireworks sub- sequently in the castle. It may be mentioned that a subscription list has been opened for the widow and family of Captain Williams, of Bangor, who was drowned whilst in command of the Miranda yacht off Penmon on Tuesday, and already 180 has been subscribed.

The service in the chapel was opened by the Rev. Edward White, and the Rev. Dr Dale gave an address. The relationship between him and Mr Richard, Dr Dale said, arising from their meinber- ship of the Education Commission, was very close. He spoke of Mr Richard as ore who had fought the "ood fl,bt. finished his course, kept the faith, and received the crown of righteousness." For nearly sixty years he had lived in this great city, but he d i ei, it was fitting that he should die, in his own land, amoug his own people, within sound of the waters and within sight of the mountains lie loved f;,) weil. He loved Wales with a passionate affection. Through all the labours and excitements aud controversies of his long public life he was under the power of the influences which surrounded him in the land of his birth. Having spoken of the 9tirring events which happened in Wales in the ø9rlv part of this century. Dr Dale referred to Mr Richard's father as one of the most eminent and devout preachers of "is day, and aid that by such men in the con"e of two generations Wale.- was rescued from and b,??,? ? nation :eár for i:j"!T"fitefs :rl{' 1 remained with him the strong Rnpport of his pe?. sonal integrity andth" central element of his power. In 18(18 Mr Ri.,I,1 entered Parliametit-but as omethilJi! m"re th, a mere politician. He never walked in the crooked paths of time and change." The thought of holding office never crossed his mind. He was Christ's servant in the House of Commons as well as in the ministry of the Gospel, and he cared for the ethical as well as the material ends uf t'ue State. His last considerable public work was as a member of the Education Com- mission. and he never ascended the steps at White- hall without knowing that he was risking life itself, Yet be continued his labours until the end, and only a few davs before his death signed the reports which had just been issued. After a beautiful reference to Mr Richard's private life, in which he was singularly gentle, kindly, affectionate, and unselfish—" he loved warmly. and was warmly loved "—Dr. Dale conoluded Our friend is not lost to ns for evur. He has passed from earth into the great company of the immortals, who live in power ana in blessedness because they live in God. They are like the stars, fly day Withdrawn from mor 81 eye, But not ex inet they hold their way In yl'irv thr nigh the sl;y Dr. Dale then offered a brief prayer, after which the procession re-formed and marched to the grave- side, Here a brief address in the Welsh Isngnag" was delivered bv the Rpj Oven Evans. D.D., ex- chairman of the Union of Welsh Independents, and formerly of Llanbrynmair. Dr. Evans founded his remarks on the description given of Mordecai He was great amona the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brothrln seeking the good nf bis people and speaking peace to all his seed." If only they would substitute the word Welsh" for the worrl "Jews." he felt that they could not better desoribe their friend. In many wavs he was "great" among the people, and accepted of his brethren. He sor.ght their good" r.nd he spoke 11 His death was a national loss, and was lamented bv the whole nation. The name of Henry Richard would be fragrant in Wales for many generations. Like Moses, the great Jewish 1II.i!er. he died within sight of the f111filment of manv of hi. life-purposes, for tbev were almost within reach of securing for religion in Wales that freedom from State con- trol which had so much impaired and injnrec1 it.

PRESENTATION TO THE I REV. ELIJAH OWEN, M.A., PENMON. On Saturday evening, the 25th ult., there was a large gathering of the parishioners of Penmon and Llanfaes, together with other friends and well- wishers, in response to an invitation from the Rev. T. Warren and Irs Trevor, to meet the Rev. E. Owen at the Vicarage, in order to bid him a formal farewell on his retirement from the curacy of the aboved-named churches, and also to present him with an address and a purse of gold, as a token of the esteem and regard in which the rev. gentleman has been held during the thirteen years of his official connection with the neighbourhood. A spa- cious tent had been erected on the lawn, in which were laid out refreshments of the most recherehi description, Mr and Mrs Trevor, and their family, being unremitting in their attention to their guests, and lavish in their hospitality. As soon as it became known that the Rev. E. Owen had acoepted the living of lilangoed, a move- ment was set 011 foot for presenting him with some substantial proof of the goodwill of the many friends he had made during the time he had lived in Anglesey. A committee was formed, under the presidency of Mr H. B. Mitchell, of Lleiniog Castle, cOIJsistiug of the vicar, the Rev, T. Warren Trevor, M.A., the churchwardens of the two churches, Mr S. Taylor Chadwick, Haulfre; Captain Preston, secretary; Mr Roberts, Penmon, assistant secre- tary, and Mr Roberts, of Rhoe Cottage and the results of their working were the very handsome address and weighty purse presented ou Saturday. The presentation was made in the grounds in front of the tent by Lady Magdalen Williams Bulkeley and Mrs Hampton Lewis, Henllys; Sir R. Williams Bulkeley and Colonel Hampton Lewis being church- wardens of Llanfaes. The address was beautifully designed and illuminated by Mr O. T. Jones, Erw Fair, Bangor. The purse was worked for the occa- sion by Mrs Mitchell, Lleiniog Castle,and contained one hundred guineas. Sir Fichard Williams Bulkeley took the chair, and after a passing refer- ence to the innate pleasurable sensations arising from unity of opinion, and consciousness of una- nimity of purpose, he went on to say-Sucih pleasurable emotions I share with you all to-day, for I feel that we are all imbned with the same opinion of Mr Owen, and are animated by the same desire to do him honour, by offering him a token of our regard, in recognition of his long and valuable services. In his departure from among us we lose a friend of thirteen years' standing who by his never-failing attention tc duty, his courtesy, and geniality, has endeared himself to ns all. I take it as a good omen that we part from him in sunshine, not in shadow. Let us hope that the bright sun smiling down noon us this after- noon may portend a bright future for Mr Owen, and for the people of his new parish. It is unnecessary to say anything that may appear to enhance the good opinion formed by all of Mr Uwen; for all know him well, and therefore know his good qualities; and although, in his official capacity, he will be separated from ns, yet he is not going fflr-he will yet be a neighbour —going only next door, as it were eo we shall often see his face, and shall always, I am sure, greet him with a hearty welcome. Without further detaining v0ti,1 will read the addre. which Lady Magdalen will present. The address was then read as follows To the Rev.:E. OlDen, M.A., Curate of Penmon and August 25th, 1888. Dear Mr Owen,—It gives us great pleasure to a k you to accept with this address a purse ef liK) guineas as some recognition on our par, of your thirteen years' service amongst us. While congratulating you 011 your preferment to the vicarage of Llangoed, we cannot bu' feel the loss we sus- tain by your removal. Although we shall often miss yonr presence amongst us yet we are glad to feel sure the fruit of your earnest and faithful ministry will still remain. During your long residence here we have always found you zealous in your work, ronsant in your duties, and a oastor and friend to all Welsh and English, rich and poor, whether ia sicknes-i or in hea'tb. Wishing you, Mrs Owen, and your family long years of continued usefu nes. and h.ppiness wherever your work may be, we b g to su b ?cri b (? ourie l ves, in the name of ;{oh;le;. f;!U¿, :Wl't., in the name of (Signed) T. WARHKN TKEV )R, Vicar. (Signed) :r:;g:EirCl¡nl'chwarden. Of T. L. HAMPTON L,:?,. Llanfae-<. NESRY BRASH:R MITCdEI,L 1 Churchwardens ROBKRT WILLIAMS ) of Per,mon WILLIAM M\SSEY PUTSTOS, Hon. Secretary. Lady MAGDALEN BULKELEY then graciously pre- sented the address, after which Mr MITCHELL rose and said :—Dear friends,—Mr Trevor has given to me, as senior churchwarden of Penmon, a very pleasant task, viz., to explain to you the motive for our meeting here to-day at his hospitable parson- age. It is to give expression to our fetliugs of respect and regard for the Rev Elijah Owen, on his leaving onr parish to become vicar of Llangoed, and to give the still more practical proof of oar goodwill by presenting to him a purse containing one hundred guineas. It is an occasion which speiks for itself in two wavs-firfit, of the estimat'on iu which 1\Ir I Owen has been held during his ministry of 13 years among us and sec,1nrtly,I must say (as belonging to another country) it tells of a liberality and kindness which I am convinced would be found no- where except in this dear little Island of Anglesey, I have ever experienced the same generous kind- ness, without exception, whenever I have sought i; and it is a memorable fact that, as I have been informed by Mr Preston, who, as honorary secre- tary, collected the money, he received bnt one refusal to his appeals, and that was not from an Anglesey friend. Mrs HAMPTON LEWIS, with a few appropriate words, then presented Mr Owen with a purse of a hundred guineas. In acknowledging the testimonial, Mr OWEN said Sir Richard Bulkeley, Ladies and Gentlemen,—I thank you all very sincerely for your general and uniform kindness towards me and my family durins; the time I have lived among you But most of all I must thank you for this present display of it, by coming here this evening to wish me" God speed!" on my entrance npotia new sphere of work-by the very beautiful and flattering address which has been leid and presentel to me by Lady Magdalen; aud by the more weighty,if possible,argu. ment of all, and most convincing perhaps-the very handsome purse of jold to which you have all con- tributed. I have always taken it that when words and deeds go together—the one following the other as a natural sequence-it argues something very real. They are then the oom bined expression of a common sentiment, and point to the purity of the fountain from which they spring. And in the present instance this is strikingly illustrBted-thr. as one would expect to find it from those who have had the drawing of it up, scholarly aud true from the stilted phrases of such productions, is full of kind expressions of sympathy and goodwill; while the heavy purse is something substantial, and gives solidity to your words, And I know, from personal experience, that one and the other-the address and the purse-have entailed much thought and tact before the eff)rt could be brought to such a successful and happy issue My g atitude is, in that w -,y, intensified towards those gentlemen who originated the idea, and who have so ably cirriefl it out. I know that my late vicar, Mr Trevor, has been most anxious, and has antered with the greatest energy and spirit into tile mM'er, seconded, as he always is by the church- wardens of Penmon aod Llanhes-Mr Mitchell and Mr Williams; Sir Richard Bulkeley and Colonel Hampton Lewis. Nor do I feel myself less indebted to the warm hearted secretary, Captain Preston, and his assistant, Mr Roberts. We all know that whatever Mr Preston takes in hand always prospers, simply bCcaltRe it is the rebound of his own kino] disposition which prompts him at all *imOR to do bi9 best for everyone, who in turn readily respond to any rp,.l made by him. And with these gentlemen, I would include every in- dividual subscriber. I must ny. I thank you all. And as the hc..litv from whence it em!\nats intensifies or diminiRhes the feeling of gratitude, I will .ay now. as when a ohild, I thank von from the bottom of my !:eart. I fesl assured, and I have confidence to face the fresh responsibilities which Ii" before me in the assurance,that I carry with me the good wishes of kind and tried friends. And what is more, T carry with me the experience of a "ther protracted training nod novitiate, both of which will be of service; for although my usual Sabbath lay's jonrney of eloven miles will be some- whs t shortened by the chauge, the seeming advantage will be more than counter-balanced by the increase 01 churches. Ul) on the present I have, .h&rad tile servko8 of t\Vo churches with my vicar, whereas 110'0 I shall have single-handed tC. serve three churches. But if troubles arise I have not far to come for consolation and advice; for I earnestly hope there will he still reserved for me a little corner for the sympathy and goodwill that have so Ion:! existed between us. The Rev. T. WARREN THEVOR ppolte next,—I cannot let this opportunity pass without saying a few words to convey to Mr Owen our hest wiHhes for his future prosperity an,1 happiness. I look back with plaqnre upon the uniformly happy relationship that has existed between Mr Owen and myself during the whole time that we have worked together—a relationship of perfect happiness and contentment -a relationship of mutual confidence. The c'.mrohwardena have ou the address expressed our sentiments; and I myself may say that Mr Owen has been most constant in his dnties-rever a moment late and dnring the long term of thirteen years no emgle service has ever been omitted by him. This was due to his strict sense of duty, and anxiety to perform what was required of him, backed up by a strong constitution. I am very sorry to lose him, Knd yet I feel glad for Llangoed. For Llangoed, my friends, is no Paradise. But Mr Owen will improve the garden. I am very glad to think that should be feel the need of help, or in anyway be down-hearted, he has only to read the address to find out what others think of him, which I am sure will be of great encouragement to him. Although he is leaving ns, still there is a bond of union between us. I mean the Penmon National School, which is, in fact, Penmon and Llangoed School. There Mr Owen and myself will have to meet, as the vicar of Llangoed is one of the trustees; and I have great faith iu his taking as great an interest in the school as he has hitherto done. I have often admired his faithfulness in coming up twice a week, during the winter months, to the house we rented in Ty'nlon to teach the young men of the neighbourhood whosa education had been neglected in their youth. These, I am snre, will always feel grateful to him, as the good he has done them will be certain to have a lasting effect. Mr Owen has been a real fellow-worker with me, and a friend at all times. In any difficulty, or anxiety, or tronble, I was always sure of his sympathy, and in going to his new parish I wish him every success and happiness. A vote of thanks to Mr Preston was then pro- posed by Sir RICHARD BULKELEY in the following terms:—Mr Owen has certainly thanked those to whom thanks are due. Had it not been for Mr Preston's well-timed energy, I fear the testimonial wonld not have been so successfully carried through. Yon, mv friends, have supplied the sinews of war. Mr Preston, like our able general, has carried out the work as successfully as any man could do. I therefore beg to propose a cordial vote of thaDks, with our best wishes, to Mr Preston. In acknowledging the compliment, Captain PRESTON said I am greatlj obliged to you for yonr ki.d wishes and vote of thanks, which to me, at the same time, appear quite unnecessary. For this work, my friends, having snch a sincere regard for Mr Owen, was to me a labour of love. for which I am amply repaid by having an opportnnity of sbovring, to a certain extent, my esteem for him. And the opportnnity was, in fact, a source of delight to me, Considering the ready response given by all to whom I applied, and the material assistance of Mr Taylor Chadwick, Mr Roberts, Penman; Mr Roberts, Rhos Cottage, a-id Mr R. Roberts, pilot, the task was indeed bnt light. And I can only wish "r Owen every happiness. Mr OWEV proposed a vote of thanks to Mrs Trevor for her great kindness in taking so much tronble on his behalf, to which Mr Trevor replied in a few snitable words, after which the company dispersed. Amongst those present we nciticpd Sir Richard and Lady Magdalen Bulkeley, Colonel and Mrs Hampton Lewis, Mr an 7-.frs Rrasier Mitchell, the Rev. T. Warren Trevor, Mrs Trevor, the Misses Trevor,Maste'B Thomas and Rowland Trevor. Lady Ramsay and the Misses Ramsay, Rev. E. Owen,Mrs Owen, the Misses Owen, and Mr Eyton P. Owen, Mr O W. OIVpn.

On Sunday, the 19th ult., If, Owen preached, in English, for the last time,at Llanfaes Church, from the text, As thy days, so shall thy strength be." (Dent. xxxiii. 25), and referring to the changes incidental to life in general, made allusions to his departure from the parish in the following words:—In conclusion I wonld address a few parting words to those members of this con- gregation, among whom I have lived and I "bonred for the last, thirteen years. In entering upon new duties and new responsibilities, my mind natnrallv reverts to the past, and reviews, with feelings of thankfulness, the uniform sympathy and enconratre meat which have aidei me so materially in discharging the duties of my sacred office. It is not without many regrets that I now close my ministrations in this ohurch, where my imperfect efforts lo be a faithful minister have been so favourably received, and where, for so many years, the mutual relationship of pastor and people has been truly preserved in "niiitv of spirit, and in the bond of peace." With the ex. perience of the past to fall back upon, I feel that I carry with me into the future many good wishes and prayers for success in my new sphere. May God, of His great mercv, grant that this prayerful support may never be withheld, that so I may continue to f share in the Divine promise" As thy days, so shall thy strength be."

YACHT RAC0 IN THE MENAI STRAITS. A YACHT SUNK. Oa Wednesday a very interesting race took place on the Menai Straits, when four- teen vachts competed for the silver enp, valued at Xio, offered by Captain Williams, ria- Dwynon. Unfair P.G. The course was from Gallows Point, off Beaumaris, through the SwiU0-, • and to finish off at Carnarvon between the mark- hoat and the battery of the Royal Naval 3ese t. The yachts, which were mostly those that competed at the Beaumaris Ragatta, left Beanma-is between one and two o'clock in tM ?erncou. in the face of a atrong breeze from W.S.W. After passing under the Menai Susp-n siou Bridge the yachts were allowed to use their sweeps and t.) lower their boats and be towed by them, but the boats had to be got on board before Plas Newydd and Vavnol were passed. The fir-t to pllS tbe flag at the finish was the Ulerin (J. the b v nine illItes, the Brena coming in third, and JE )!ia (Mr J. R.Davies) fourth. The race was under the direction of the Sailing Committee of the Anglesey Yacht Clnb and carried out according to the rules of the Yacht Racing Association. The boats were de- spatched by Sir Richard Bulkeley, the commodore of the Royal Anglesey Yacht Club. A prowet against the winning yacht has beeu lodged by Mr Pennant Lluyd, the owner of the Restless, which wiii have to be decided by the committee of the Roval Anglesey Yacht Club. Whilst the Lucinda (Mr W. King), one of the competing yachts, was passing near the George Hotel it capsized owing to the large spread of canvas it carried. The crew, five iu number, were safely rescued by Mr John Williams, of Menai Bridge. Yesterday (Friday) a number of men and boats were employed in the work of float- ing the Lticindst.

THE TITHE AGITATION IN WALES. Mr Stuart Rendel, M.P., president of the Welsh National Council, in acknowledging the resolution passed at the meeting of Meifod farmers after the recent distraints and pales, says I need hardly tell you that I heartily concur in it I consider that the pwsent application of the Meifod tithes to be a scandalous and intolerable perversion of public funds. I kn)w that Chriot Church is the legal titheowner—the more the shame and the worse the injustice. People who are profiting by iniquitous laws are preaching the law of order just now with sickening hypocrisy. In the same tone, people who have got hold of the property of others are pro- claiming the rights of property with singular obtuseness of moral sense and obliquity of moral vision. We need not be disturbed by this con- venient begging of the question our business is to correct law by equity and to see that property goes to its riglitfuf owners, not by violence in either case, bnt by efery method which the free constitution of the countrv places within the power of its free citizens. In the case of the Meifod tithes we are the more constrained to snch action because in that instance Welsh patriotism and Welsh religion are alike outraged. I would, however, respectfully warn our humbler friends near Meifod, especially the labourers in the more English end of this parish. of the grievous injury to our cause which must follow any hasty or uoprernediated act of violence. Deliberate violence there cannot be. I understand that an improper endeavour to extort from the auctioneer a promise not to come again was dis- countenanced by the people generally, and wap with- drawn. Menace and violence are as injustifiable as unnecessary, and they are foreign toevery Welsh instinct and habit."

ALARMING ILLNESS OF THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH. HIS FAMILY SUMMONED TO HIS BEDSIDE. The Lord Bishop of St. Asaph, Dr. Hughes, who is spending his holidays in Scotland, and staying at Creiff. has been prostrated by apoplexy. I* is stated that his lordship was engaged for several hours on Tuesday in attending to correspondence, and he afterwards retired for rest. Finding that he delayed in reappearing, the bishop's room was en- tered, when he was found to be in an unconscious state. A doctor who was sent for pronounced the bishop t) be suffering from the attack named. His sons. Professor M'Kenny Hughes and Mr Pritchard Hughes, were telegraphed for. The bishop is in his 82tid year. One of the letters written on Tuesday contained au offer of the living of Northop to the Rev. Daniel Edwards, Cefn, a most popular clergy- man.

THE NEW DEAN OF ST. ASAPH. I It is stated by the Liverpool Courier that Bishop Hughes has appointed the Rev. David Evans vicar of Abergele, to the deanery of St. Asaph, void bv the resignation of Dean James, formerly had. master of RO8all. The new dean, who was a student at St. Bees in 1855, was ordained in 1856 by Bishop Vowler Short, and after boldina one or two curacies in the diocese of St. Asaph, was appointed incumbent of St. Mark's, B ila, and subsequently rectcr of Llanycil, with Christ Church, Bala. In 187G he was presented by Bishop Hughes to the vicarage of Abergele. Mr Evans will not leave Abergele to enter on his new dnties at St. Asaph until about the end of the year. We (Xorth Wlle, Chronicle) believe the announcement is prematn-e.

HORRIBLE AND MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY. While a roan was on Friday sweeping the ruitwzy station at Guilford he discovered a parcel containing a human foot and leg, which he at once conveyed to the police. The parcel apparently bad been either thrown out of a passing train, or from a bridge which passes over the railway close to where it was found. The remains have bpen examined by Mr H. S. Taylor, the police sargeou, who states that they consist of a right foot and a portion of a leg, the aesh hanging therefrom having been bailed Some of the flesh and the toenails, bad evidently been boiled away.

JACKDAW COMPETING WITH A CLERGY. MAN The jackdaw of Rheims has been excelled in audacity by one at Monkton. in Kent. where it walked into a church and attempted to take part in the responses. The condition of the congregation was little short of side-splitting. The clergyman himself with difficulty kept a straight face, while the school children present broke out into open laughter. Things became so bad that the clergy- man was impelled to order the children out of the church. An attempt to catch the intruder was quite vain. It flew to the rafters above, where it muttered and chattered to the end of the service.

CURIOUS ACCIDENT. A curious accident has occurred to a man named Peter Mansell, a prominent member of the Salva- tion Army in Guernsey. Mansell and his son were engaged in driving an iron spike into a wall. The father held the spike, while the son struck with a heavy hammer used in granite cracking.
