IVCTJNTEES FBIZS DISTRIBUTION AT I CABNABVON. ISPRHCH ON NATIONAL DEFENCE BY SIR I t LLEWELYN TURNER. The tuul distribution of priaes and concert in connection with the G Company of the 2nd Volunteer Battalion Royal Welsh Fusiliers took plaoe at the Victoria Drill Hall on Wednesday night when the chair was taken by Sir Llewelyn Turner. Among those present were :-Lady Turner, Colonel Owen Thomas, Major Rees, Major Paynter, Captain Hardrnan, Captain Harwood, Lieutenants Walter LI. Davies, J. H. Rees, and Roberta. Letters were read from the following noblemen and gentlemen regretting their inability to attend: -The Most Noble the Marquis of Anglesey (Honorary Colonel), the Right Hon. Lord Penrhyn, Colonel Butler, Captain Griffith (Royal Welsh FottHeMLAc. Major Ï\8. in Ri_loK an o."ln. of the Volunteer movement in the country, said that he was glad to say it was increasing in popularity. It was started in 1860. and he held in hie hand the original roll which Sir Llewelyn Tnrner had signed, and be was sure that the wo it by knight wonld be gratified to find the company which he was instrumental in organising was now prospering so well (applause). The present strength of the Volunteers was 1225. and tbe "G" and H Companies now numbered 197. The Carnarvon corps was rapidly increasing, and the War Office authorities oonteirplated divid- ing them and he (Major Bees) thought it was very desirable tisat Carnarvon should have a battalion of its own once more (bear, hear). One of the principal objects of the Volunteers was to make (rood marksmen, and he thonght they expected a little encouragement for the service they were sap- posed to render to their country, and he oonld assure them that the members of the G and H Companies considered that they were amply repaid by the honour that was oonferred upon them by Lady Turner attending there to present the prises (applause). The Omaibman, in the oourse of a lengthy speech, aid there IF" a certain class of writers in this country-be oould not oall them tbinkers-to whom the presence or sppearanoe of a redcoat was all a red rug to a bull. He thought it was a very unfortu- nate thing that many people were led away from supporting the proper authorities of the country in keeping up its defeneee by writing of that sort. There was no greater lover of peace than the Duke of Wellington, or than bis great contemporary, Lord Nelsin, and he was sure there were no greater lovers of peace than those who came forward all V olunteere to defend their country (hear, bear). War was a most abominable thing, and the man who needlessly created war was the greatest enemy to the human race but it was necessary that we should bave the defences of the oountry properly maintained In every respect. He referred to the proposal to construct a ohannel tunnel between Englahd and France, which bad been three or four times before Parliament, and said it was not pleasant to think of the alliance at the present time between the French and the great military nation of Russia, with its millions of soldiers. What had Russia been doing but advaaciog upon India, which England bad governed for tbe advantage of its people for so many years? Would it bl an advisable change for tbe people of India that they should be placed nnder the government of Russia: woald it be desirable for them that they shonld exchange the mild government of England for the Siberian cruelties of Russia, for which she was so famous? If it woold not be to the advante of the people of India if it would not be to tbe advan- e of the people who we governed in the various parts of the earth, they mnet maintain their dofencoa (tpplMsf). Thev might be quite sure that it they did not defend their possessions, another Government wonld take them np. It was an old saying that, the Almighty helped those who helped themselves, and when He plaoed stalwart men in the oountry like ours, men able to it, men like the Volunteers whom be saw before him, who were ready to defend their oountry, and stand with the regular Army of the country in oase of necessity, it was an insult to the Almighty to oast away the inflaenoe we possessed. There bad been wars before, and unless they were prepared there might be ware again. He (Sir Llewelyn) wished to render to Major Roes and his men the utmost meed of bis gratitude for the diligenoe and the txoellenoe of tbe manner in which tbey had fitted themselves in oase that the things that had been might happen again (applause). It was a great thing to feel that in the hour of their need they had so many man retdy to defend them (bear, bear). Let tbem give every enoouragement to their soldiers (applause). Their houses would be broken in, but for the polios they would be liable to be burned, but for the are brigade and on tbe aame prinoiple the country was liable to be invaded unless they were propetly prepared (applause).

After distributing the prizes, which she did in art exoeedingly graceful manner, Lady Tcanaimade a brief speech, in tbe oourse of which she said she did Not think the servioes of the Volunteers could be too highly appreciated in the country, and she hoped, if the corps was ever called into action, that they would all serve their oountry as loyal subjects (cheers). Captain Habdmui, in proposing a vote of thanks to Sir LI. Tomer for presiding, referred to the honour conferred upon Colonel Thomas and Major Payeter by Her Msiesfy.

I PEOPOSED PIEE _FOR BANGGE.
I PEOPOSED PIEE FOR BANGGE. I [To thb Editor.] Sir,—Will yoa kindly allow me a few words, apropos of a passage or two in the letter of I, A Master Mariner in your issue of the 10th Inst. He says there Sixty years ago Bangor possessed a Bp)ead!d trade in shipping, but it has gone to the dO1 within tbe last ten or fifteen years. Ship carpenters are almost an extinct species in Bangor. Sailors, too, have had to ohange their veoation. Now, supposing the shipping industry bad been as brisk as it was 20 years Ago. these men would have been enjoying oomfort which does not now fall to their lot." I venture to say, sir, tho explanation of the decadence is pretty obvious, viz., the low freights pre- vailing from Bangor for some years. Bangor has aniy one staple export,viz, slates,and when we look back ten or fifteen years we find slate freights to the Elbe, say 16s to Stettin, 16i to 20s and London, 10s to 12s and now they are about-Elbe,83 to 10i; Stettin, 10s to 13a London, 5s 6d to 7s 6d, a state of affairs that offers no inducement whatever for enterprise or even enoouragement. Freights have been sorowed down to starvation point, and for no {•eason that I can see except to benefit the can- sumer, and-to a great extent--the foreign oon- somer. There are excellent facilities for ship build- ing and repairing in Bangor, a patent slip having been put np by an enterprising townsman. But where is the trade ? When I turn to Portmadoc I find that there have been built there during the last three or four years six or seven vessels, two or three in building no w and the reason seems to be that freights run rather higher from Portmadoo, thus giving greater encouragement to the owner, and, 80 far as I know, none of us run vessels from philan- tbropic motives, but to make them pay. I know J do .—ym, Sea., A COASTING OWNER.
I FOOTBALL-2TEWS.
FOOTBALL-2TEWS. Banoob V. Llandtjdno WdtauaN.—Baugor last Saturday journeyed to Llandudno with ten men which ooly incladed four of the cap team. However, they managed to defeat the Workmen by no less than five goals to nil. The game was very uninter- esting, both teams lacking oombinstion, the kick and rush been en evidence. The result does not, by any means, sttte the game, as the Workmen had as IntTob of the game as the visitors. "Oanger II Hill played in,goal for BangoT, and to him Bangor owe their clean sheet. Llandudno Swifts II. Rhyl.—These teams met at the Summer Gardens, Rhyl. last Saturday, in beau- tiful weather. The Swifts brought their famous cup team, Rhyl also having a powerful team on the strongest team that h" represented Rhyl this year. Rhyl have been doing very weU lately,and it was thought that by having the Swifts at the Summer Gardens they would have the hon- ours of the first team that would defeat the Swifts this year. Davies set the ball in motion for the visitors, who were playing against the wind. The Swifts were the first to press and soored two goals within five minutes. The game was now very even Rhyl who were pressing were rewarded with two goals. After .tbis the Swifts woke -up, Arnold Jones doing some splendid runs, who just before the interval put the Swifts ahead,the soore at haU-time being. Swifts, 3. goals; Rhyl, 2 goals. In the second half Rhyl did not have an atom of chance, the Swifts keeping np the bombardment, Arnold J ODM herebemg very conspicuous for his accurate sbootlcg: T. Owen, A. Knight, and G. Allman, also played well for the Swifts. For Rhyl C. Jones, Langley, and Lloyd Roberts played very well. A roogh game I reeulted-Llandlldoo Swifts 6 goals, Rhyl 2 goals.
IFOOTLALL NOTES.
I FOOTLALL NOTES. I [BR Cbitio.] Banoob Resibvm V. OoLWYN B&Y.-Thim match was contested on the ground of the Bangor Football Club, on Saturday afternoon.. The Reserves had a very weak team, and the visitors were short of two men,and J. Stewart and Willie Jones were asked to play. The Colwyn Biyitea pressed from start to end, and they were not long before they scored. Johnnie Stewart played a good game so did Willie Jones. By-the-bye how is it that Willie Jones doesn't play for the Bsngor team ? He is,I believe, < member 01 the olnb, and his services would be greatly appreciated. For the Reserves, Elias played well at hsif-back. He was here, there and everywhere, and his defence was really grand. DunniolifFe is a smart full-baok with a little more practice, he will figure very prominently in the football ciroies. Fiooh. the Reserves' custodian was not up to his usual form. On three occasions he did not even attempt to stop the ball. I sugpose the reason of his recklessness was due to his not attending practices. Now then, Finch, when yon play next time show the spectators what, yon oan do. You have played well in previous matcbell, and I am eare yoa are able to do so again. The right wing of the visiting team played a clinking game throughout, aDd so did the right full-back. The game ended in favour of the visiting team-by 6 goals to two. A very had result indeed,Reserves; you must reform. You were beaten. I hear, at Menat Bridge, the Saturday previous. Better lack at forthcoming matohes, I hope. Bsogor jiurneysd to1 Llandudno on Saturday to play the Workman, and returned home victwime, having bsatsn th* LlandedaviUs by five goal* to ml..

LLANDUDNO POLICE 00UBT. I This conrt was held on Monday, before Dr. K. H. Bold Williams, Dr. Dalton, Mr Elus Jones, and Mr I Charles Frost. TOO ru ecwa roa mitbiho. I John Benry Mnlholland, a respectable-looking young man, was charged with beingoncaptain Longebaw's premises, a private house at Deganwy, for unlawful purposes during Saturday night. Superintendent WruiASts said that Captain Long- 1 shew went home by the last train on Saturday night. He fastened all < he doors and went to bed as osoll, but at two o'clock on Sunday morning there was a disturbance, and the prisoner was found walking about the. bouse with a lamp in his hand. Captain LODgeh.w cam downstairs, and the man wa* apprehended. H: gave bis fall name and address, but could give no asooant of how he got there. The Cbaibxan Was he sober ? Superintendent Williams 1 He was muddled In drink. He gave straight snswsrs to everything except as to how he got, into the house. In reply to the Chairman the Prisoner said he bad spent the evening in Conway, and was drunk. He oould not say whether he walked from the Junction or went by trsin. Superintendent Williams said the young man's mind seemed to be a perfect blanb after he left the Junotion. The Bench oautioned the prisoner as to his eon- duot, bat said that 19 there was no previous OOD- viotion, they shonld take a lenient view of the case, and fine him 58 and costs. THE CAM AOAWST HUGII THOIUS HUSHES. I Mr Chamberlain alluded to a oase at the previous' court, in which a lad, named Hagh Thomas Hughes, was oharged with stealing a £5 note and ;sent to a reformatory. The boy's mother bad been distraoted ever sinoe, and it was doubted whether the boy did steal the note. He found it, took it to the bank, and laid, II What is this ?" He was given sixpence by Mr Wells for taking it there. Theachoolmtster at the Board Sohools oould oertify that the boy was of weak mind. The Chaibman We had none of this evidence before us at the trial. Mr Chambsblain No, but you can move the Home Secretary in the matter. The Chaibkan said that if the boy was of wask intellect he would not be treated like lads of full mental capabilities. Mr CntuBiBLAtu If it i. proved that the boy Is not a thief at all, a great deal will depend npon what the boy said at the bank. The CHAIRMAN Can we go behind the prosecu- tion ? The CLINK I am afraid 70a cannot do that. Mr Chambbblain If the boy has been wrongly convicted he shoald be righted. Otherwise this woman would be put to an expense she aannot afford in applying to the Home Secretary. If the boy is off his bead" it would make a difference. The Chairman Off bis head is a compara- tive term. A person may be an imbecile and yet know the difference between right and wrong. Superintendent Williams said he oonveyed all the circumstances to the prison authorities to have the boy examined, and it was a great difficulty to get him to a school at all. Tbey will teaob him a trade and will not expect him to learn anything else. The toy was in a good home in Cheshire. The CHAtEmAN I am afraid the mother Is tabour- ing under a misapprehension as to what is being done with the boy. I think it is the greatest meroy in the world-if the poor woman can be brought to see it—to tend the boy there. He was Dot punished for the offence of stealing at all. Superintendent Williams said the mother of the boy could go and see him if she liked and would then be satisfied. The matter then dropped. THII riNBHVNSIDB PUBLIC-BOUSIT CAM: John Jones, Aelybryn, was summoned for being drunk at the Cross Keys, Penrhynside. Mr J. E. Humphreys (Manrwst) appeared for the police; Mr W. D. Henderson for the defendant and Mr R. S. Chamberlain for the landlady, Ann Price, who was ammoned for permitting drunken- ness. P.C. Jambs said that on Tuesday, November 8th, he went to the Cross Keys at six p.m. and saw the defendant, John Jones, drunk, with half a glass of beer at his side. He asked the landlady why she served John Jones when he was drank. She said it was not her fanlt, but the fault ef Lizzie the servant. John Jones left, and witness followed as it was a daagerous road. The defendant eonld not open his gate, but with diffi- culty climbed over the wall, and fell down on the other side nearest the bous9. Cross-eximloed by Mr Henderson, Witness said he did not know why the defendant oouli not open the gate. John Jones did not deny being drunk,but said, I hope you won't be angry with me." Ann Hdohbs, wife of Richard Hughes,remembered the 8th November. She was going home as about 5,30 p.m. Two men were in front of bar. The defendant was one of them. She thought they were drunk, and was afraid to pass them. Witness desorihed that they were staggering from one side to the other. Some little ohildren ran to her for protection. She told the policeman about them. Pitbb Hughes, iandbrd of the Penrhyn Arms, and Marqadbt Jane HUGBIS were called, and stated that they refused to serve the defendant because they considered he had had enough. Mr Henderson called JOHN Edwabds,stone mason, who said that on the 8th ult., at about five p.m., he was with the defendant John Jones in Moetyn- street. They went home together in a milk cart. John Jones was sober. They went to the Penrhyn Arms and bad a drink thera. Maggie Hughes served them with one glass of beer each. She never refused him a drink. They then went to the Cross Keys, and had two glasses of beer. The oon. stable oame In. John Jones said to bim. Don't beanrrywithukg. I am Roing home." John Jonee left his beer, and went out. EDWARD Evans was called and said he was in the Cross Keys on the occasion in question. John Jones was quite sober—as sober as witness at the present moment. The witness's style of giving evidenoe was so queer that the Bench thought he was not quite sober" at the present moment," and this view was strengthened when the witness tripped and nearly fell a8 he left the box. Evan Jonss, who was at the Cross Kqy, gave, corroborative evidenoe as to defendant being sober. CrosuamiDed by Mr Humphreys the WITNZFA said the only thing he coald remember was that John Jones was sober. Mr ffumphasys. If John Jones was sober why should he go out and leave his beer not tasted ? Witness I don't know. The Chairman: And his beer not tasted even. Elizabeth Evans, the barmaid, said she supplied the beer on the 8th nit. She was not in a position to see whether the defendant was drunk or sober. ANN Pbics, the landlady, detailed the conversa- tion batwoeti herself and the oonstable. She told him she did not know there was anybody in the house drank. Cross-examined by Mr Humphbbys: The eon- stable calleo her attention particularly to John Jones. From what the saw of Jones he appeared perfectly sober. The Bench fined the defenfant 20s and coats, it being a second offenoe this year. The cue against Ann Pries, the landlady, was then gone into, and the same evidence given. For the defence Mr Chamberlain urged that the defend- ant had kept her house well for 20 years, and in the present oafa did dot know the man Tones was drunk.—A fine of 408 and costs was inflicted and advocate's fee allowed to Mr Humphreys. The licence was not endorsed. 1Ioen06 was co?golonsas nt?oacM. The Board ol Commissioners were summoned for aausing an obstruction to the highway in North Parade. Mr Cbambbbuin, for the Commirsonsrs, objected that the Board should bave been summoned as a whole. The Clerk shonld have been summoned as a r»8ponsible party. Eventually Mr Chamberlain agreed to the summons being amended. P.C. Rise deposed to the fact that the Commis- sioners are reconstructing a urinal at the top of the North Parade opposite the Baths Hotel. Tbey cansed an obstruction to the road by leaving stones and planks whioh reached from 20 to 25 yards Into the street, and no hoarding was constructed. Mr Chambbblain produaed a plan showing that, independent of the obstruction, the Commissioners left a roadway 25 ft, in width. He contended that the Commissioners, as onstodlans of the highways, bad power to Cake up the roads in any part of the district. Superintendent Willums further examined the witness to show that obstructions were plaoed on I the highway and caused an obstruction which might have been prevented. It was very different to repairing roads. Sergxant Rowland corroborated the evidenoe of P.O. Ridos as to the obstruction. A oonstable walk- ing past there in the dark with no light would have oollided with a pieoe of sheet iron just below bis knees. HrClIAIOIIILUN contended that the cab-stand adjoining the winch was not a part of the public highway. The CatmuiK disagreed with that view. Tha Butch decided to impose a fint of 2e 6d and costs against Mr Conolly, the clerk to Use Crnnmis* sioners. Mr Chambsblain said the Board would bow w tbe decision of the Becob. No doobt somebody bad thought it very clover to get the Board of Commis- sioners summoned. I The Bsnch Ana the ratepapers will have to pay for it. Mr Uhambbblain Ob, we don't care for the rate,. payers (laughter). Superintendent Willums: Bat you must be answerable to the ratepayers. 6 CP MKTS NP BST WILLIAMS ON ■ DINNERS n AND EXTESSIONI." Mr Thomas Smith, of the Victoria Beetanrans, applied for an extension of time to 3 a.m., on the 2bth loot., the occasion being a dinner by the Post- office Staff. Superintendent Williams deprecated such long extensions btdng granted for dinners. A staff of constables had to be kept up to see after tbese continual extensions in Llandndno. The ChaisAan This is only for the Post-office officials. Superintendent Wimmms Bat otheM ? there.

HAUGHTY BOYS AT PENNHYNSIDT. I Henry Taylor, Penrhynside, had summoned a boy named William Williams for damaging a hedge and for writing obsoene language on his door.-Mr Chamberlain appeared for the prosecution and Mr Bellis defended.—A little boy named Daniel John Roberts deposed to seeing William Williams pulling op the hedge, and writing something very dirty in ohalk and penoil on Mr Taylor's door.—Corroborative evidenoe was given by William Hilton and Samuel Roberts.—For the defence Mr Bellis oon tended that the wrong boy had been summoned. He had the name of the boy who committed the offence, and submitted that Daniel John Roberts had given evidence to shield his brother Samuel.—Mr Chamberlain aeked permission to recall Mr Taylor to give rebutting evidlmce.-The Clerk (Mr Porter) advised that this could be done.-Mr Taylor stated that the defendant met him. When spoken to by witness about the offence the boy oried and said he would not do it again.—The B'.nci, fined the boy 5s and costs for writing on the door, but dismissed the case as regsrds the fence. The Bench wished to caution boys not to do snob a thing again.

The costumes in the various tableaux were splendid, and presented a remarkably fine effect by means of lims-ligbt. The room was orowded to its utmost oapaoity, the entertainment being patronised by the elite of the neighbourhood. The Rev. jenkyn Davies, B.A., curate of Menai Bridge, deserves to be warmly congratulated upon tblluooe81 which attended his efforts in getting up the entertainment, the object of which was to pro- vide fends for improving the parish cburoh.
