Two Cambridge ladies were drowned, and a young lady from Bishop's Stortford subse- quently" died in hospital. Canon A. S. Farrai-, for forty years pro- fessor of Divinity at Durham University died on Sunday morning at the age of seventy- nine. In 1862 lie was Bampton lecturer and two years later was appointed by Bishop I Baring to the position he held at the time of his death.

I During some further experimental te-ts recently carried out at the mouth of the river Weser in the presence of a large num- ber of naval and other officials representing the British, German, and Dutch O-overn- ment and various shipping corpoi at ions, the submarine signal bell connected iv-ttli the Outer Weser Lightship was distinctly heard through the telephone receivers by the guests on board the Norddeutscher Llo,(t steamship Kaiser Wilhelm II (while the ship was under full steam), at a distance of seven-and-a-half miles. The possibility of locating the spot from which the signal pro- ceeded was also amply confirmed. These- results tend to show that this form of sig- nalling, which is unaffected by either storms or atmospheric conditions, will probably offer the best means. of contending with the dangers of collision and stranding in fog and thick weather. Mr James Mercer, a former pupil fit the Oakes, Institute, Walton, and of Liverpool University College, was on Tuesday an- nounced to have won the proud position of senior wrangler in the Cambridge mathemati- cal tripos.

Edmunds, draper, Manchester House, who very recently buried his mother at Llanged- wyn in the ninetieth year of her age.

Wynn. for. the term of sixty-seven years, a farm, by the ii-a,v' which has been occupied by Mr Ed- munels's family for close upon three centuries. Hi is probably establishes a record. The old lady, though latterly in failing health, was in full possession of her faculties and took a keen interest in the affairs of the farm upon which she had passed so extended a period of her life. She survived to see no fewer than five generations of her descendants born iJlto the world. The interment took place on the 27th May at Llangedwyn Churchyard amidst every evidence of respect and regard for one who had become a. notable figure in the parish. Probably, Mrs Edmunds was tHe oldest tenant on the extensive Wynnstay Estate. Her husband predeceased her by about twelve years.

PRESERVATION SOCIETY FORMED. A meeting was held at the Parish Room, Criccieth, on Wednesday night, to take steps to form a society for the preservation of the natural beauty of Criccietn, Port-madoc, and Harlech district. The objects of such society v. i.\l he to unite all residents and others in (a) Protecting from unnecessary spoiling the picturesque appearance of the town and neighbourhood, especially its natural beauty and buildings of historical archaeological or architectural, interest; (b) Protecting, and, as opportunity otters securing for public use and benefit, open .spaces, field paths, view points, and picturesque spots; (c) Protecting the fauna and flora of the district; (d) En- couraging the artistic improvement of the town and neighbourhood. The Society may also add locally to advance the objects of such societies as the National Trust for places of historic interest or national beauty; Commons and Footpaths Preservation So- ciefy; National Society for checking the abuses of public advertising; Birds Protec- tion Society. The movement for the formation of the Society has been initiated by Miss Emily Field, formerly sieeretary of the Hampstead Heath Protection Society, who was given every assistance by Mr W. Watkins, J.P. The meeting was well attended, those pre- sent including r D. Lloyd-George, M.P., 8-iid Mr Herbert Lewis, M.P. In the absence of the Lord Lieutenant (Mr John E. Greaves), the chair was occupied by the Rev. Canon Lloyd Jones. Mr Watkin read several letters. Mr John E. Greaves wrote stating that he was in entire sympathy with the move- ment, as indeed it behoved everyone to be who had any interest in the locality mateiKil or otherwise. It appeared to him that what was needed more than anything else was the introduction of a better taste in architec- ture for net only at Criccieth, but through- out North Walets man had done his best to spoil the natural beauty of the country by the erection of hideous and incongruous buildings. He thought more attention to architecture as a. branch of art sheuld be paid by their schools and coJeges. (Ap- ,-lo.C'r\ p.u.r. Mr W. H. More, of the Crown Ledge, Harlech wrote stating that he should like to have been present to learn by what methods the proposed Society could combat the vandal or tne utilitarian who had regard to utility rather than beauty. The former was g allv wilful, wanton, or ignorant. The -«>tter often had reason that might be difficult to overcome. TT„ Lord Harlech wrote that he wou:d \>e veiy pleased to assist any Society the purpose of preserving the natural «• and rave wild SM»«> tl.e The Earl of WTnchilsea wrote statmS that he is very much in svwrth tta, object, in view and as tar ric;r.een^ aim^ _rnn, was concerned would do his best to P them. He much feared however that, m manv instances the effort would bo .oo late In Snowdonia, for example, railways and tram lines left little to be added by the most blatant, vandal alive.. Letters in -support of the movement vei e also read from the Ceininon I cotpat servat'ion Society, the Society for theckm„ the abuses of Public Advertising, and the Society for the Protection A+nC1C^, sick ings. The former wrote that some such society was badly needed in the district. Dr "Jones Morris, chairman of the iprt madoc District Council moved that a societ> should be formed, and said it was very cessarv for Harlech and Criccieth who de- pended uoon visitors for a living to see that I the natural beauty of the district w.& pre- norvivl Something had been done to pie- serve footpaths, but he hoped that the new Societv would tir the loca-i authorities to-do more.

Many would remember that Criccieth was (once in possession of a beautiful stream run- .ning: through the town. Its place was taken by a stone drain along which the water was supposed to run. It. was supposition, how- ever, for there was no water. (Hear, hear.) Mr George also a'Juded to the disappearance of the pond for Pentrefelin. and coming to tho Beeldgebrt- railway, admitted that he hael something to do with the original scheme. It was difficult- to know where to draw the line between utilitarianism and the spirit of beauty and he was sure that pro- moters of schemes of this nature would, re- garded generally, welcome rather than re- sent the advice and suggestion of a preser- vation societv vation societv Mr. Randal C'asson, Portnip.doc, support- ing the motion, said he was suie they were | all most grateful to Miss Field for initiating tho movement. This Society would prevent persons running t.he risk of individual odium in their efforts to preserve natural beauty. Such edium was very severe; and he :i-fl gone through it himself. (Laughter.) He did not think they could look for much support from the pub ic bodies of the neigh- bourhood judging from past experience. For instance every one of them in the dis- trit concerned, from the County Council downward, supported the original Beddgelert raihvy scheme which, in the opinion of those competent to judge, would have probably ruined the beauty of the Paso of AborgV> lyn. He (Mr Casson) tried to persur.de the promoters, d they would listen to him. They persisted in their scheme as it stood. Step:; were then taken to cru-h the scheme on a technical point and they crushed it. Public bodies did not inspire one with con- fidence and he must admit thnt he considered it would be much betfer to let Criccieth Castle remain in the of Lord Harlech than transfer its custody to the local govern- ing body. It was the latter that were re- sponsib'e for that beautiful stone drain run- ning through the town. (Laughter.) It was at Criccieth again that. the spirit' of economy had led to the erection or hideous buildings on sites which should have been pre- served.

Mr Carson said he utterly failed to got anybody to sup- port him except Mrs Davidson. Mr John E. Greaves, and Mr R. M. Greaves. Dealing with the question of paths. Mr C'asson said it was very necessary to discriminate between private paths used by the public for busi- ness purposes and public paths. This was a matter where great discretion was needed, but in all probabilitv the landowners would be prepared to co-operate with the proposed society. The resolution having been pas-ed. Mr. Watkin moved that Lord Harlech should bo appointed patron of the newly-formed society that Mr John E. Greaves should be appointed president and that the subscription should be Is. Mr Holmes seconded the proposition, which was carried unanimously, as was a vote of thanks to the Chairman and to Field and to Mr Hclines, moved by Mr Casson. and seconded by Mr Robert Thomas.

BALA Personal.—The Rev. J. Howell Hughes, pastor of Tegid Chapel, was one of the spe- cial p)reac!hers engaged to preach af the general assembly of Welsh Methodists at Liverpool last week. TriDs.-About sixty members of Sunday School from Denbigh visited Bala on Friday and to all accounts appeared to have thor- oughly enjoyed themselves. On Tuesday a. number of excursionists from Preston came into the town and were favoured with summer weather. Visitors.—There was a good influx of visi- tors into the town over Whitsun. Bala is becoming more popular each year as a health resort and as an ideal spot for rest and quietude. Whit Monday.—The Eisteddfod having been postponed fhis year owing to the re- vival, the young people of the town took advantage of the opportunity to hold special preaching meetings, and before twelve a.m. the town was crowded with visitors from Rhos, Llangollen, Oorwen, F-fisiiliniog, Do)- gelley and the surrounding villages. The first meeting was held at Tegid Chapel at 10.30 a..m. under the presidency of Professor Elli.s Edwards. M.A., who delivered a very appropriate address and aftertwards the sacrament of the Lord's Supper was partaken of. At 1.30 a huge precession, numbering over 2,000, was formed at the Green, and marched through fhe streets to Tegid Chapel. Owing to scarcity of accommodation, the building being crowded, an overflow meeting was held at the Congregational Chapel, and addresses delivered at both meetings by the Revs. D. Stanley Jones, Carnarvon; Henry Rees, Pwllheli; and J. J. Roberts, Port- mado'c. At' 5.30 eloquent sermons were de- livered at the Congregational Chapel by the Revs. Professor Ellis Edwards, RaIn," and D. Stanley Jones, and at Tegid Chapel by the Revs Henry Rees and J. J. Roberts. A prayer meeting was afterwards held.

ABERDOVEY Temperance.—At the temperance meeting held on Sunday evening at the Assembly Rooms addresses were given by J. Owen, J. Roberts. W. Jones, and R. Davies. Mr D. J. Williams presided and the singing was conducted by Mr J. Lumley. There were s^i'eral English visitors present and several English temperance hymns were sung during the meeting. Gifts of Books.—Mr C. J. Thompson, Tre- feddian, has presented another parcel of bcoks to the Institute Library, consisting of 1 9 ten recent works well bound and in excel- lent condition. This will make the number of volumes given by Mr Thompson about 200.
