1H----------..-------------REPRESENTATION"…
1 H- REPRESENTATION" OF CARNARVON BOROUGHS. VIEWS OF MR. LLOYD CARTER. Mr Lloyd Carter, deputy sheriff for Carnarvon- shire, and formerly agent of the Conservative party for the county, who is mentioueii as the likely Unionist candidate for the Carnarvonshire Boroughs, now represented by Mr L oyd George, at the next general election, visited Pwllheli, Friday, when he was interviewed by our repre- sentative. In reply to a question as to whether the reports as to the likelihood of his candidature were true, Mr Lloyd Carter said: No one was more surprised than inyseif to see the announcement in the news papers. To my mind the question of selection rf Unionist candidate is rather premature. At tie same timp, I may say that I have be; n urged by many influential electors, both Liberal and Con- servative, to contest the seat, and believing, aw I do, that Mr Lloyd George grossly misrepresents th,. views of the large majority of his constituents, I shall consider it my duty if called upon to oppose him at the next general election. However, I have reasons to heli, ve that when the proper time arrives the Unionist party will have a atrong and popular candidate to champion their cause. In reply to further questions, Mr Lloyd "arter said he had no ambition to enter Parliament, bdog quite satisfied with his present position in the county, but if the necessity arose he would have no hesitation whatever in becoming the Unionist candidate. Our representative learns from another source that no hops is entertained of Sir Hugh Ellis Nanney, who fought Mr Lloyd George at the last election, being prevailed upon tt) stitnd acrain. At the annual general meeting of the Bangor Working Men's Conservative Association held last Thursday, Colonel Marshall presiding, the follow- ing resolution was unanimously passed That the members of the Bangor Working Men's Con- servative Association assembled at their annual general meeting hear with much pleasure and gratification the mention of the name of Mr H. Lloyd Carter as the probable Conservative and Unionist candidate for the Carnarvon b, roughs at the next general election, and they pledge them- selves in the event of his coming before the electorate to do all in their power to ensure his return to Parliament.
ITRANSVAAL WAR.
TRANSVAAL WAR. A SKIRMISH A despatch received from Lord Roberts on Friday nigut reports severe fighting in the Free Stste. It became neces ary to drive the Boers from k'pjes they had held ¡î.ar the Krtru Sidiog Station, a few miles south of Br;mdfo t. This was successfully carried ou% the enemy retreating on Brandfort. That the fighting whs severe is evid- net-d by the fact t>'r:t Lord Robert. reports our losses at over 100 killed aitd wounded. Details wt-re published on Monday of the battle w';i,,h was fought on Tnur.sd-iy at Karree in the Orange Free State. It appears now that the British casualties were heavier than at first sup- posed. According to a despatch r c ived on Satur- day nineteen wer- ki.led, 159 wounded, and three ar- m-ssiog. As the result of our success, the enamy are report'd to have evacuated Brandfort and to be proceeding in a northerly direction. AN AMBUSH. A telegram dated from Bushmau K -p, on Satur- day, states that the force commanded by Colonel Btoadwood and Coloacd Pile ier, which", as gar- lisoniiig Thabaachu, oti Friiay was obliged to I. ave during the nignt in c!>n.-».qu?nce o; the near approach of a large force cf Boers, and marched to Bioemfontein Waterw01 ks, 8OJ, h of the Modder, where it encamped at four o'el, ck in the morning. At early dawn th camp was shelled from the rear Coioiiel Bcc!ill CJi1d thereup n klJt eff a c nvoy 911.j U and Q B-ttere-, the r -i-t of the force re- maining to act as a rearguard. The convoy arrived in a deep spruit, where t'.e B'Hrc' were concealed The A bole, detachment walked into the ambush and were captured, tog. the. wit-h six gun. Fortunately the 10<S of life was mll, mo't of the men walking into the trap before a shirt was fhvd. G neral Colvtlle'd Division left B!oemfoDt<dn early or. Saturday morning, and, arriving on the scene of tilP. untoward accioont about noon, commenced t:n sdied the enemy, an operation that was proceed- ,jn when the correspondent's telegram was d"R- ■pitched. A corresp ndent with Lord Roberts's army -.ends a detailed account of the fighting near Brandfr.rt oa Thursday. He add;, that the Boers succeeded in getting Wty over the flit couu-,ry, with their gens and waaf<ows. Their escape is attribut d to the delay "f the cavalry in completing the encirJlOg movr n,e> t, their impr. ssion being that the enemy had aiready gone. A full and circumstantial account has been receivd from LtT'; Roberts of tha disaster to thp force under Colonel Br 011 Saturday. In his retreat from Th^baechu to Bioemfontein the Colonel sent 011 in frunt his tw-i horse artillery batteries and his bsg-;aiie. O11 the march a deep nullah had to he cross-d and here the enemy were concealerl in force. They tjok the British van- tioard by surprise. Many men and horses were -hot at clöse range, a:id by this means toe Boers secured possession of seven of our guns and the whole of the bag'q,tc'. Colonel Broadwooii estimates his casualties t about 350, including 200 missing. In a later message Lord Roberts says he has received a report that the enemy have retired towards Ladybra d, leaving some twelve wounded officers and seventy men at Bloemfoutein waterworks. BLOEMFONTEIN. Further despatches were received from Lord Roberts on Tuesday, on the position in the neigh- bourhood of Bioemfontein. He reports that up to Monday night, although there had betn no fresh engagement,cur men had remained continuously in touch with the enellJY, In r-gard to the ambush, he states that many cmsp cuwis acts of gallantry were performed by the British soldiers. This is verified by the Boers themselves, who are stated, by one from their r:llb, to ha-e been deeply im- pressed with the 111 "gnificent- courage displayed. The War Office published a ltt of casualties among officers. It gives three killed, fourteen wounded, and three missing. There wa also hsued from the War Office a summary of our losses during the war. The total is over 20,000. including those at present s ck in hospital.

Bailey and Messrs Wm. Ansell, Dyffrya, and Richard Williams, Argoed, Dolgelley, took the oath as justices of the peace for the county. CIVIL BUSINESS. It was agreed to re-appoint the following mem- bers of Quarter Sessions :—W. R. M. Wynne, A. Osmond Williams, the Hon, C. H. Wynn, O. Slaney Wynne, C. Evans i loyd, R. S. Wayne, C. E. J. Owen, R. Prya Owen, an; Charles Williams, Esquires. Mr O. S. Wyrne was appointed assessor under the Clergy Discipline Act in the place of the late Dr Edward Jones. THE GRAND JURY. The followjn w ere sworn on the Grand Jury :— Ellia Davies, 48, Mount-street; Hugh Lloyd Davies, Regent House William Edwards, Mgti-street Samuel Ellis, 60, Mount-street Charles Hall, High-street John Hanson, Cross Foxes John Wm.

The CHAIRMAN, charging the Grand Jury, said it was satisfactory to note that twenty-two out of twenty-four jurors had answered to their names that day, showing that they were willing tó take part in the administration of justice in the county. However, there were no prisoners to be brought before the Court and it was unfortunate that the law required that they should be called from the;r homes at such a busy time of the year when there "as no busineas. There was nothing which he need charge them about. TEe state- of the county in regard to crime was still vry satisfactory. The Deputy-S, e,ff (Jr J. Chas. Hughes), on behalf of the High Sheriff, presented the Chairman with a pair of white g'ovep. The CHAIRMAN, acknowledging the gift, said this was the second occasion that year upon which he had had the honour of accepting a pair of white gloves from the Hig") Sheriff. He sincerely hoped that the county would be as distinguished io the future as it had been in the past by almost abolute immunity from crime. APPEAL CASE. There was one appeal down for hearing, being against the decision of the Corwen Bench in an affiliation case, adjudging William Evane, farmer, Corweii, to be the father of the child of Ellen Jones, Corwen.—Mr Wynne Evans, Wrexham, appeared for the respondent and Mr Madden, hamster, Liverpool (instructed by Mr Aneur:n Evans, Denbigh), for the appellant.
MERIONETHSHIRE STANDING JOINT…
MERIONETHSHIRE STANDING JOINT POLICE COMMITTEE. The quarterly meeting of the Standing Joint Police Committee was held on Tuesday afternoon at the County Hall, Bala. There were present Messrs W. R. M. Wynn, Charles Williams, the Hon. C. H. Wynn, Messrs R. S. Wayne, R. Prys Owen, J. Llsyd Jones, Edward Jarrett, and Dr John Jones with Mr Rob'-rts Jonps, clerk Majr.r Besi-, chief constable and Mr J. M. Jones, county surveyor. ELFC'IION OF CHAIRMAN. On the motion of Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS, seconded by Dr Jonx JONES, Mr O. Slaney Wynne was unanimously elected chairman. THE LATK DR EDWARD JONES. The CHAIRMAN referred to the kss sustained by that body as well as the county generally by the death of Dr Edward Jones and moved a vote of condolence with the bereaved widow and family. The proposition was at once passed. | ABSENCE OF A REPORT. From the minutes it appeared that the Surveyor was at the last meeting asked to report upon th" water supply of the Police Station at Pennal, there being an application from the Towyu Urb"n Council for a contribution towards the cost of erecting a pump at that place. The SURVEYOR said he had no report, the matter having escaped his attention. The CLERK, in reply to the Chairman, said he had sent the Surveyor a copy of the resolution. The CHAIRMAN—You ought to be more careful in th« 8f thingw. The SURVEYOR—I was at fault there, Sir. Later on in the meeting the SURVEYOR said he had passed through Pennal and found that a pump had been erected there in a "tidy" manner. He did Lot quite ca'ch at the Committee that he was to prepare a report and he considered it to be no part of his duty to do -0. It was agreed to defer consideration of the appli- cation until the Surveyor had presented a report as to whether the pump was a convenience to the Police Station. THE POLICE AND SHEEP DIPPING. The CLERK stated the Executive Committee ap- pointed under the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Acts had considered the resolution passed by the Committee in reference to the appointment of inspectors other than the police to superintend the dipping of sheep in the county. They had declined to appoint such inspectors. The CHIEF CONSTABLE said the police had really no time left to attend to their proper duties when they had to do this work. He knew it would be a great expi nse to appoint inspectors, but he did not see that it was the duty of the police. They had quite enough to do in looking after their work which had to be neglected for the sheep dipping. Everything fresh that cime out seemed to he put on the police, He did not object to that, but he did not think that sheep dipping should form part of their duties. Mr R S. WAYNE asked whether it was not prob- able that this sheep dipping would lessen s.;on—that they would return to the former state of things before long ? The CHIEF CONSTABLE did not think so. The other counties adhered to their rules. Mr JARRETT said at the meeting of the Execu- tive Committee there was a strong feeling ngainst appointing inspectors other than the police. Dr JOHN JONES thought the complaint. of the police could he met by appointing stated places and times for the dipping. The CHIEF CONSTABLE said that would lessen the trouble considerably. Mr JARRETT said the police did this in other counties. The CHIEF CONSTABLE said the neighbouring counties had associated and they were now all against this county. Mr JARRETT said the other counties boycotted that county and tried to prevent their sending -beep to the Oswestry, Wrexham, and other mar- is ers. Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS asked the Chief Con- stable why he objected more than the police in other counties ?! The CHIEF CONSTABLE said it was a small force w:.th a big ar,a to work. The CLKKK said that Body had no power to do anything in that matter. The whole power was vested in the Executive Committee. In reply to Mr Osmond Williams, the CHIEF CONSTABLE said the police obtained no extra re- muneration for this work. Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS proposed that the Com- mittee he recommended to give some remunera- tion to the police for the work. Dr JOHN JONES seconded the proposition. Mr JARRETT siid he made a proposal to that effect at the last meeting of the Committee, but it was strongly opposed. Mr OSMOND WILLIAMS—I suppose we can say our police shall not do this work. The CLERK-I do not know about that. The Home Office w ould probably have something to say in the matter. The CHIEF CONSTAlLE-The police are undtr the charge of this Committee. The CLERK said all he knew was that in other counties the police did this work. The Hon. C. H. WYNN thought that was a matter of such importance that the Executive would no doubt call a meeting at once to consider any recommendation made by that Committee. He proposed that the Committee r' nId be recom- mended to fix upon central places jut sheepdipping, as that would minimise the trouble to the police. This was agreed to. ABSENCE. Letters regretting inability to'attend were read from Colonel Evans Lloyd and Mr Charles Owen. POLICE ACCOUNTS. The Committee appointed to examine the police accounts reported that they were kept in perfect order and were quite correct. CHIEF CONSTABLE'S REPORT. The Chief Constable's report was read in which he stated that the number of vagrants relieved in the casual wards during the quarter was 779 as compared with 1,145 in the co responding quarter last year. Thirty nine persons had been pr ceeded against lor drunkenness as compared with twenty- eight in the corresponding quarter. Oue publican was proceeded against and convicted for breach of the L'censing Act as compared with two the corresponding quarter of last year. The statistics appended showed that no indictable offences were committed during the year. Las year there was one. The number of persons proceeded against for unindictable offences was 123 as compared wish 143 last year. The CHAIRMAN said the decrease in the number of vagrants was very sa1 isfactory. The CHIHF COKSTABLE-- y. There is a decrease in everything except drunkeness and in that only an increase of eight persons convicted. In reply to Mr Jarrett, the CHIEF CONSTABLE said that increase occurred at Fentmiog. Good times brought an increase of drunkenness and it went down with bao times. Mr JARRETT said the decrease in vagrancy was very marked. Living 0!0O to the road, they used to be troubled very much by tramps, but they had seen hardly any latfly. The CHIEF CONSTABLE said he attributed the decreaee to the fact that :-o many able-bodied men had been taken away to the war leaving employ- ment open. A great many of the men who got relief as vagrants were mere miners or colliers travelling about from one place to another on the lookout for work. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The Surveyor reported that the repairs to the Towyn Police Station and the vane ano dome of the County Halt at Blaenau Festiniog had been completed. The wood and iron work on the out- side of police stations of Towyn and Bala require i painting, The new police buildings at Blaenau Festiniog were progressing favourably but slowly. He expected them to be completed in two mouths' time. The report was adopted. A LEGAL QUESTION. The Hon C. H. WYNN asked a question of the Clerk in reference b the liability of the 0wn"r of a traction engine going over a bridge after a notice had bi-en put up stating that it did not hold over a certain tonnage wnich was below the weight of the engine. He asked the question because it might be found necessary to take action in regard to e.n occurrence of that kind, as complaints had been received that the traction engine went over LJau- elltyd bridge which was supposed to hold a certain weight. He was perfectly aware that if the bridge broke down the owner was liable, but let them think what inconvenience would be caused to the public. He therefore wished to know whether they had the power to prosecute a person: aking the engmer over the bridge in "pite of the earning. If they had, he would certainly propose that t;ie police should pros-cute. The CLERK said unfortunately Llanelltyd bridge was not mentioned in the bylaws, which would have enabled th-m to prosecute. A Committee had been appointed to draw up bylaws, but they had not yet been prepared. However, though he did not think they could prosecute, there was no doubt that the owner would be liable in the event f damage being caused to the bridge. Mr WYNN—In that ease it is not a question for this Committee at all. A hope WJ8 expressed that the Committee ap- pointed to draw up new bylaws would meet as s;:ou as potsible. The Committee then rose.
TOWYN.
TOWYN. TROUT FISHING.—Some, very good trout fishing is being obtained in the Dysyuni. Mr D. Jones, Medical Hal!, had some excellent t'port last week. It is to be hoped that the water and the weather will be favourable for fishing during Eister week when a large influx of visitors is expected. VOLUNTEERS.-—-Letters have been received from the Towyn boys who are with the army in South Africa, giving a good account of tne voyage out and of the wonderful isles of the RFa seen "n the voyage. At the time of writing, i.e., 11th March, they worn in camp at Green Point Common, Cape Town, but since then have gone up to the front and probably w. re in the action atr Brandfort,as the We! h Borderers were there. VKSTKY.—The annual vestry for the nomination of ov-rs'-era of the Bunal Board was held on Friday t ie 30th of last month. Mr H. Haydn Jones wa* voted to the chair. Mr Daniel Edwards, builder, Towyn Mr Arthur Tomlins, Bryntegwell, Ab r- ilovev Mr J. Ta, man. Tynlhvynhen, Bryncrug; and Mr J. Jones, Cefnlleeoediog, Pennal, were n, m- inated a overseers for the ensuing vear. The fir,t three were in office last year, The retiring members of the Burial Board were re-elected, viz., Mr R. W. Richard", Bryncrug; Mr R. Morgan, builder and Mr Meyrick Roberts, quarry manager Mr R. Bowen and Mr D. O. Jones were d auditors of the Burial Board. Some very sharp criticism of the action of the Urban District Ccuncd in dealing with the main rlach. followed. It was stated by several ef the speakers that the expenditure this year would exceed that of last year by over E200, and that, as far as it was known, without having had any extraordinary work done. The Cnairman called upon Mr J. M. James, as a member of the Council, to give some explanation— Mr James said that the excess of expenditure was to be ccounted for by the application of a much larger quantity than usual of granite macadam to the roads and a more extensive use of the sttam roller, justified by the new regulations of the County Council which will come into force on the 1st of April, 1900.—The relations of the Machyn- lleth Assessment Committee with the Overseers of the parish of Towyn were also severely dealt with. —The Committee had, it was stated, without any apparent reasons, increased the valuations of houses submitted by the Overseers, thus necessi- tating numerous appeals against the increase which, in most cases were, on appeal, practically reduced to the valuation made by the Overseers.— The Vestry Clerk was directed to convey the views of the Vestry to the Assessment Committee. FLY BY NICnT.-It is said that the signs of the zodiac are difficult to read, hence the danger of undertaking adventures by flight without being versed in the mystic signs of a.m. aud p.m. Keeu was the interest taken by the savants in the Cam- bridge and Oxford boat race and on Friday they determined to witness it. Preparations were made for the j iurney on a scale proportionate to its length. Time tables were consulted end the route sketched out. A conveyance was ordered to start from Towyn, Merionethshire, about 10 30 p.m. and the tedious journey by road commenced. There were only a few flickers of light, visible in Abpr- dovey as the conveyance wended its wy through the darkness of the night. The owl hooted and the night jay screeched when disturbed by the noise of the chariot passing through the woods be- tween Aberdovey and Pennal. Sleep and oblivion reigned over all at the latter place. The further they went, the darker the night grew. They toiled up the hill, from the summit of which the lights of the Machynlleth Railway Station should have been discernible, but tha: p ant on the railway was shrouded in the dark falls of the ebony night. Onward the cavalcade went right in to the jaws of the Station. The party alighted and, for a time, waited patiently for the officials to appear. They lighted their cigars and whiled away the monotonous time right cheerfully and discussed the pros. and cons, of the important contest to be decided on the morrow. After waiting unt 1 it was very nearly time for the train to arrive, it occurred to the party to look at their time tables again and, oh horror it was discovered that the train was due at 1-28 p.m. the dav beiore. What was to be done? The journey onward was too long for the already tired steed and to retreat is not congenial with the nature of the Briton, but they were Britons nevertheless and faced like men the responsi- bility of having made a mistake and commenced the weary return journey, disappointed certainly, but quite determined to pay more attention in future lo the signs and cymbals of railway time tables. As returning through the villages of Pennal and Aberdovey, and on arriving at Towyn, they found the inhabitants still in the arms of Morpheus. Too brave to disturb the inmates of their bom; s, the trio sauntered down to the Esplanade, gazed at the wild sea waves, and thought in sorrow of the morrow. With the dawn they returned to their homes and went to bed tired and sadder, if not wiser, men. They cer- tainly have the deepest sympathy of the com- munity.

The inhabitants of Lady- smith were very pleased to see them, there being a great many pitiful sights where the Beers shells had taken effect. Though there were a great deal of sick persons in the hospital, the Boers put several shells through it. The British force was getting ready to ao tip into the Trainsvaal. There were about 2,500 sick in hospital at Ladysmith when it was relieved.

In Need oj a yew Leg. -Application was made hy an elderly male iumate, who has a wooden leg, for money to procure a new wooden leg to enable him to have the House aud seek employment. He stated that his present artificial support was in a dilapidated condition, being broken through and through in several places and patched up with iron. He would show the peg to the Guardians so as to test the veracity of his statement.—Tha Chairman: No, no. We know nothing about wooden legs. (Laughter.)—The Vice-Chairman inquired whether the "pp icsnt had a place to go to if the Guardians granted his request?—Applicant: I have no tixed placR. M I' Cadwaladr Roberts said applicant lost a good place at Featiniog.—Applicant r joined that he had to leave his employment through an injury to the fl-> hy portion of oue of his limbs. —The Medical Officer supported the statement of applicant that his present peg was in a bad state. A new member would cost from f7 to 99.-Ultimately, it was resolvpd to Itsk applicant's late employer if he would emply him in the event of the Guardians providing a new wooden leg. Clothing Request.-Lt tt,-rs were recc-ived from the Carnarvon and Bangor unions asking for a supply of clothing for the inmates of the Penrhyn Work- house lodged in their workhouses whilst the altera- tions are proceeding at the former place.—The a,pplication was referred to the Visiting Com- mittee. Appointment. On the proportion of Mrs Morgan, seconded by Mrs Morris, Miss Richards, Llan Fes'iniog, was added to the membership of the B arding-out Committee. The Festiniog Case.—Mr Cad,viladr Roberts called attention ta the case of Griffith Lloyd, Festiniog, referred to by the Chief Constable at the Police Court on the previous Thursday and pointed out that the p dice held that the Guardians should take act.ion.-Th", Guardians still felt that they could not take action against Lloyd in respect of his wife, but in the case of his son, who is rt s'dent: at an asylum and chargeable to the union, it was agre d to institute proceedings for maintenance. Padded Room.-A tender for padding one of the rooms in the House amounting to f56 15s 6d was accepted on ths recommendation of the Buildings ) and Repairs Committee. The Alterations at the Hoitse. -A lengthy report on the delay to the alterations and additions to the House was submitted by the Buildings and Repairs Committee aDd a recommendation was made.— After considerable discussion, it was resolved to defer consideration of the recommendation and io the meantime to communicate with the contractors. Votes rf Tha?iks.-Mr Cad waladr Roberts moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman for his services in the chsir during the past year. Mr Robert paid a tribute to the manner Mr John Jones con- ducted the business. He was very pleased to find him in such good health. (Hear, hear.)—Mr Wrn Jones seconded the proposition which was crri. d amid applause.—The Chairman, in responding, returned his thank-1 to the Guardians and officrrs for their hearty support. It was their kind cn- operation that made the office one of pleasure, comparatively speaking. He also wished to thank the reporters for their fair and impartial report". They had t all times shown a desire to givo what was interesting to the public without injuring the Board in any way. In fact, as chairman, he was indebted to them one and all. (Applause)—Mr William Jones then moved a vote of thanks to the Vice-Chairman who, he said, threw all his energy I into the work.—Captain Morgan Jones seconded the preposition which was likewise carried amid applaus.In responding. Mr Oven Jonea said he must say that he was getting rather weary of public offices taking them as a whole, but in the case of Penrhyndeudraeth, he could honestly say that he considered the position he held an honour in the fulness of the term. (Hear, hear.) He had endeavoured to do his duty conscientiously and impartially and that would be his endeavour in the future, no matter what capacity he held. If he had given offence to any member during the past year, he had no intention of doing so. As he had aid before, he had attempted to do what, was right and proper. (Applause.) -On the motion of Mr Robert Richards, seconded by Mr William Jones, a vote of thanks was also accorded Mr Owpn Jones for his services as chairman of the Finance Committee.—Responding. Mr Owen Jones said he was glad to say that every parish had made good its arrears and that there was every prospect of starting the new financial year on a healthier basis than ever. (Hear, hear.) The Estimate.—Mr Owen Jones then submitted the estimate for the half-year ending September, 1900. The value of the union was £ 103,S90, heing an increase of £ 2,000 on the corresponding period last year. The estimated expenditure for the ensuing half-year was £ 468 8s, being an increase of E260 on the corresponding period last year. This was equal to a rate of J °:Ïd in the pound on the assessable value. In addition, a certain amount would have to be in hand to tide over liabilities in- curred during payment of different calls. A sum equal to a rate of 3fd was provided for in this con- nection. There would also be a county rate of 4(1 payable by the parishes in Merioneth. The total rate in the case of the,latter after deducting balances in favour of the parishes would be Is 2|d for Fes- tiniog and Is 4d and Is 4icl for the other parishes. The new valuation had delayed the submission of the precept from Carnarvonshire. The amounts payable by the parishes in Merioneth would be as follows :-Festiniog, £3.680; Llanbedr, £ 76; Llan- danwg, fl27 Llandecwyn, £72 Llanfair, £103; Penrhyn, £285; Talearn, fl22 Llanfrothen, £ 165 Maentwrog, 9107 Trawsfynydd, £262. He moved the adoption of the estimate.—Captain Morgan Jones seconded and the estimate was adopted. Half-Yearly Audit.-The Clerk made a report as to the half-yearly audit and said the Auditor im- pressed upon the Board the necessity of getting all bills and accounts submitted in due time. Absence.-A letter regretting enforced absence was read from Mr J. E. Greaves. Appreciation of Loyalty.-Mr Robert Richards referred to the departure of Mr Bowen Jones, son of the Chairman and member of the Board, for South Africa on April 16th. He proposed that a letter expressing the Guardians' appreciation of his loyalty and wishing him success should be sent to him ere his departure. (Applau, )-The Vice- Chairman secondt-d the proposition, which was carried amid loud applause. The Chairman, deeply affected, roe to acknowledge the kind wishes of the Guardians, but was unable to express his acknowledgments in words, being completely overcome with emotion.—This was all the business of interest.

FOOTBALL.
FOOTBALL. WELSH CUP SEMI-FINAL. ABERYSTWYTH v. CARNARVON. The semi-final tie of the Welsh Cup between Abe-ystwyth and Carnarvon was played off at Oswestry on Saturday. The Carnarvon team arrived on Friday night and the Aberystwyth team with a train load of supporters came on the scene about an hour before the match. The weather was all thac C(,uld be desired and all the conditions were favourable to good football. The North' Wales team in black and red jerseys were the first to enter the ground, being followed a little later by the sea-side team who wtre gree ed with a hearty cheer. The teams were composed as follows :—Aberystwyth Goal, L. R. Roose hacks, C. Parry and George Evans halves, W. Jones. J. H. Edwards (captain), and D. M. Evans; forwards, T. Whelan, J. Evans, Marshall, G. Karson, and Oswald James. Carunrvon --Goal, J. H. Evaus; backs, J. T. W iiliams and D. O. Edwards halves, J. Griffiths, D. S. Jones, and H. G Evaus forwards, W. Morris, A. Williams, J. R Williams, T. Roberts, and J. W. Kingsley. The referee was Mr R. T Gough. The ball was put in motion by Carnarvon at 3-30, but tneir forwards imine iately lost it. Aberystwyth made a rush for goal, Marshall shooting a trifl- Wide. From t.he goal kick Oswald James obtained pos- S'Seiou and raced awav, but was fouled. Parry placed the ball nicely, but Edwards cleared. The sensiders continued to press and J. H. Edwards eventually sent in a splendid shoe which Evans managed with difficulty. Aberystwyth were uiven another kick for a foul, vvhicu Parry to; k, and W. Jones tried the Carnarvon custodian for the secema time. Kingsley got away, out when well do..n the field kicked straight in front of him and Michael Evans sent the leather buck again J. H. Edwards after a be-utiful dribble gave to Marshall who sent to Whelao. That player centrtd again and J. Evans p.it j he ball in the net amidst lo.id clu-ers. On restar ing, Carnarvon rusherl away, but were easily brought to a full stop by Parry and Aberystwyth became again dangerous, a corner being conceded them. The Carnarvon backs, who were plaving a s"und game, cleared. A. Williams went away, but Roose was not called upon, the ball g>ing\vide of the THn k. Oswald James brougi t off a pretty run and W heian almost succeeded in scoring. Toe pressure on the Carnarvon defence continued and every moment an addition to the ;core was exp ced. On one occasion tr'e forwards seemed to have the goal at their mercy, but..seemed too excited to know what to do with the ball. Kingsley and Roberts essayed a run, but Charlie Pa, ry upset the conspiracy. A foul granted to Carnarvon en- ahled them to g. t within shooting distance of Rcose, but harried by the backs they allowed the ball to go over the goal line. Some tricky passing on the part of Marshall, Evans, and B-.rson was witnessed and the ball was kept in dangerous proxmity to the- Carnarvon for! Two corners in succession fell to the lot of Aberystwytn, but no advantage was gained. Carnarvon right wing took the leather down the field, but Roose, running out, transferred the globe t,) the other end of the field, where the Aberystwyth cap-ain treated the spectators to an exhibition of dribbling, easily dodging the opposing halves and placing the ball in a good position for his forwards. The only advantage gained, however,§was a corner. Edwards relieved and the Carnarvon forwards got away. Roose ran out and cleared and Marshall obtaining possession, made a brilliant run from one end of the field to the other, but his final shot, which deserved a better fate, went into the goalkeeper's hands. Half time arrived when Whelan was about to take a corner. Scole:- Aberystwyth 1 goal Carnarvon ml. m, me game was resumed in a brisk fashion and within a few minutes, Oswald James tested the Carnarvon custodian. A little later J. Evans sent in a smart shot, but the Carnarvon man caught the ball and threw out. There was a pretty run by James and Barson aud the former sent the leather bang against the corner of the upright aud crossbar.' A second shot struck the side of the net. Aberystwyth pressed and Whel&n made a good attempt to find the net. A foul was granted against Carnarvon and Parry taking the kick as usu d landed the globe in the right spot, with the'result that Barson scored number two for Aberystwyth. After this Aberystwyth seemed as if they thought they had .J_ -1 uoue enougn ana instead 01 attempting to score confined themselves to a game of defence. This had the result of encouraging their opponents who went at it tooth and nail. Kingsley and Roberts forced Parry to concede a corner which, however, proved fruitless. Eu wards, the Carnarvon left back, checked a rush by the Aberystwyth right wing and A. Williaini headed a rush towards Roose. J. H. Edwards was convicted of a foul, bnt the advantage to Carnarvcn was neutralised by the ball going ovfr the line. Play settled down for a time in midfisld, after which W. Jones was called upon to check K ngsley, who, however, continued his career and shot wide. Oswald James raced up the ground and centered, hut the ball finally went out of play. A free kick was granted to Carnarvon in mid-field and from it A. I Williams scored the fir,t gonl for Carnarvon amidst tumuPuou* cheering. Aberystwyth stirre i up a bit, but the players became too excited f, r good play. Two or three fr, e kicks were granted against Aber- ystwyth and the Carnarvon forward" looked dangerous. The game became very fat and a sp-ctator taking the time found that, within thirty eec >nds Ro ue and Evans both dealt with shots. The Aberystwyth halves lost a good deal of ground by continually tnak ng fale throws and toe ball was kept in their side of the half-way line. A corner was granted to Carnarvon and when the ball was shot across Geo. Evans handed the bid! and the Referee gave a penalty kick. V\ iiliams, who took the kick, shot along the ground and the ball passed through Roose's legs, Carnarvon thus equalising amidst further cheering. After this neither side did much aud the game endt d in a draw. Score :— Aberystwyth 2 goals. Carnarvon 2 goals. Iii tbe:evening the Association decided that the tie should be replayed at Towyn next Saturday.
INFLUENZA INCRE ASING.
INFLUENZA INCRE ASING. The Influenza Epidemic is again spreading over the countrj. The visitation is of a very prostrating nature, and the disease is certainly on the increase The origin of the disease, or rather the circumstances which bring it about, is as much a mystery as ever. You cannot trifle with Influenza. It undermines the Nervous System to a greater extent than almost any other dis- ease, and it is Pneumonia that kills, and Pneumonia strikes the man who imagines he has only a mild form uf Influenza, and can go about the street just as usual. It can hardly be doubted that the prevalence of Chest and Lung Complaints must be ascribed to the baneful influence of Influenza, whose after-effects so frequently take this form. It was a bad day for this country when this malignant scourge first visited Dur shores. Year after year it has never since failed to revive at its due time and to extort its tribute of human life. Having observed its ravages, and its dreadful effects upon the constitution on the occasion of its former visits, we cannot but regard its recurrence with much fear, as a great many have not yet, if they ever will, regain their former health. As a Preventive, we know of nothing equal to Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters. A few strong doses taken in time have often proved effectual in warding off attacks of this Malady, and always succeeding in mitigating their severity when a patient is under their influence. Do you suffer from Chills alternating with sudden Flushes, Severe Head-ache: accompanied by difficulty of breathing, and symptoms of Catarrh, Pains in the Chest, under and between the Shoulders, and a stiffness and soreness of the Muscles, Loss of Appetite and Nervousness. If you suffer from any of these symptoms, know that they are the forerunners of Influenza, and it behoves you to resort at once to a course of Gwilym Elans' Quinine Bitters. By common consent Patients everywhere admit that they feel more depressed and miserable after an attack of Influenza than while under its influ- ence, and more than they feel after an attack of any other illness. The best way to banish these miserable feelings is to take Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters, the Vegetable Tonic. We can strongly and confi- dently recommend this Preparation, as it has treated severe cases of Influenza. Heavy Colds, Extreme Weakness and Langour, with greater success than any other known Remedy. We may also add that as a Remedy for Indigestion, Sleeplessness, Low Spirits Nervousness, and Loss of Appetite, Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters stands unequalled. It is sold in bottles 2s. 9d. and 4s. ttd., by all Chemists, and Patent Medicine Vendors, or sent direct, carriage free, for the above prices, by the Sole Proprietors Quinine Bitters Manufacturing Company, Limited, Llanelly South Wales. Avoid Imitations. See the name GwilymlEvans "on Label, Stamp, and Bottle.
