ABERDOVEY EASTER GOLF MEETING.
ABERDOVEY EASTER GOLF MEETING. The popular and annual feature, the Easter meeting of Aberdovey Golf Club, was this year again patronized by about a hundred well-known and expert players of recognised golf clubs in different parts of the country. On Good Fyday, the players, who arrived on Thursday evening, played friendly matches in order to become acquainted with the links and to acquit themselves for the competition on the following day. Great improvements have been m.de in the links. New bunkers have been constructed, which seem to have troubled the players. The tffect of their con- struction has been seen in the indifferent results returned during the course of the meeting. The greens are in excellent condition. Great praise it due to the Grten Committee for the maintenance o( them in sucn a condition, and especially to Mr D L Howell, the honorary secretary, who devotta his energies to the interests and prosperity of the Club and links. Players from Haodsworth, Olton, and Kings Norton Clubs were very prominent in the meeting and carried off a g< od many of the cupi and club prizes with geld memento, together wish the sweeps which reached very handsome sums. All the events were under handicaps unless otherwise stated, and with t, e exception of the Sander's bowl and gold medal for the beat scratch score during the meeting were open to members of recognised golf clubs. Play commenced at niue o'clock eaon m >i n ng and players continued to go out in pAir,3 every four minutes up to twelve o'clock, thus making it impossible during the course of morning ana afternoon for none other thau competitors t. phy. The wel -known ciian- piitns of the Ciuh, Mr B I)-,rvii, r. presentative of Woking, an open amateur ch-tnpi,n holder of Grin's rec rd f 7'2. did not this time vi-it tile links, uor d d Mr J E Bill, Birmingham an old blue,-i-it the links "» defend toe H w ll Crating- Cup (prrseutp.d by Mr J d Ho .1 >il, Aberduv y), of whicn he wa. the holder 0" Saturday 'norning, 14 1 April, io t, i li and favourable weather, two iuti.r. sting an,i g od olf cards were taken out for the Howell Challenge Cup ith Club Prize. Piny was agaiut-t hpg y. Thi cup was preseuted in 1900 ..nd bbs been held by Major Grt-t-u, now of St Allud's Club, Lancashire, Welsh champion in 1900, and pr-sident of club in previous y^ars B N T^u-y, Oxford blue, and representative in the iuiei-colirgi^te garnet in 1905 L Todd, Eton College. In 1903 it was won by W E Price Jones, Newtown, who this time does not appear to be in form, and his display is not so satisfactory as on a previous occasion. Following him it was won by Mr D L Howell, hon. sec. of Aberdovey Club, who this time has not partaken in the game, but has devoted his time and energy to making the visitors happy and comfortable during their stay. Last year it was won by Mr J E Hill, who was on Monday evening, at the general meeting, appointed vice president of club. The winner on Saturday proved himself to be R M Hills, Handsworth Uiub, Birmingham, who won with a one down. Beat results Hep.

On Saturday alternoon, the weather was still pleasant and favourable to good golf. Play was medai, that is, scoring, and not match play. The k umber of strokes is considered and not the holes won or lost. The prize was presented by W T Bodkin, Eton Collc ge. Th first eight members of the Aberdovey Golf Club qualifi d for the Sanders challenge bowl. The Rev H Foster, Malvern, an ex-president of the Club, who had qualified, had to r< tire. The best nett scores were sent in by W D Worthiogton, Manchester, who returned an ex- cellent 74 nett, and undoubtedly hii handicap is too b g for the game he plays. Not being a mem- ber of the Club, he did not qualify. Gross Hep.

Fresh pl-yer,- arrived during tIle Saturday and some of them went very strong. The most notable was that of Mr W A Priest, of Birmingham, who return. d a good score and qual fi. d himself for the Sanders' Bowl. His putting was his weak feature, but he stands a go, -d ch-uce of carrying off the Sander's Bowl for his driving is very strong. He finds the greens a little slower than the Olton greens. Morning play on Monday A as a medal round for Gieen challenge cup, presented by Major Green. The present holder is G N Foster, Great Malvern, who at present carries his blue. This cup has been played for since 1897 during every Easter and summer meeting. The winner on Monday proved himself to be 0 G Goodman, King's Norton, who returned an excellent nett of 75. Mr Goodman won the cup in Easter, 1900, 10 he has only to win it again and he becomes sole possessor. Other players who stand in the same position are B Darwen, Easter, 1901 and Easter, 1903, and Mr D L Howell, Easter, 1898 and summer, 1900. About 90 cards were taken out and a good sweep was also taken. Results:- MONDAY MORNING'S RESULT.

The question was raised by Mr R A Patterson, London, regarding the Club's severance from the Welsh Golfing Uaion, and an explanation of the Executive Committee's action was given by the Secretary. After a lengthy discussion, the sug- gestion that the question be again considered by the Committee was adopted. Complaints were made by several members of the inaccessibility of thellinks owing to the length of the railway journey at this time of the year from and t) the Midlands.

The entry is large, the weather is everything that could be desired, and the arrangements, thanks to Mr W. H. More, the painstaking and genial honorary secretary, are as near 'o pefection a- th-y can be. The visitors inclu(le Mr J Graham, junior, the Sco.tiflh international, who on Wednesday broke the record of 75 of the extended course, going- rouid in 73 Full details of the events will be published next. week.

Representation of Eivion.
Representation of Eivion. HOST OF LIBERAL ASPIRANTS. Mr Bryn Roberts, M.P., has been appointed judge of the county courts of Glamorganshire, a position rendered vacant by the death of his Honour Judge Gwilym Williams. The appointment will create a parliamentary vacancy for the Eifion Division of Carnarvon- shire, which Mr Bryn Roberts has represented as a Liberal since 1885. At the general election, as well as in 1895 and 1900, he was returned un- opposed, the last, contested election being in 1892, when he had a majority of 2,594 votes. He re- ceived 4,567 votes, and his Conservative opponent (Mr W. Humphreys), 1,973. Mr Bryn rtoberls, who is sixty-three years of age, is the eldest son of the J ate Mr Daniel Roberts, of Bryn Adda, near Bangor. He quali- fied as a solicitor in 1868 and was called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1889. He is deputy chairman of the Quarter Sessions and an alderman for Car- narvonshire. Rumour has been busy with names of probable Liberal candidates for the vacancy. Amongst those mentioned are Mr D P. Williams, chairman of the Carnarvonshire Education Committee Mr J. E. Greaves, the lord lieutenant Mr Evan R. Dhvies, the Welsh Revolt secretary Mr Ellis W. Davies, solicitor, Carnarvon, secretary to the Eivion Liberal Association Mr D. R. Daniel, Fourcrosses, organizing secretary of the North Wales Quarrymen's Union Mr T. E. Morris, Portmadoc, a barris1 er of ilie North Wales cir- cuit Mr Charles E. Breese, Portmadoc and Mr Howell J. Williams, a London county councillor. =Neither Mr Greaves nor Mr Evan R. Davies is an aspirant for the honour, but at least four of the others have intimated their intention of laying their claims before the Liberal Associa- tion. Some of them, indeed, have already been testing the pulse ot the constituency. fcThere are Conservatives who feel it useless contesting the seat, but there are others spoiling for a light, leelmg that the party should have uu idea ot the relative strength of Liberalism and Toryism in the division. As soon as the appointment was announced a meeting of the Executive of the Liberal Association was convened for yesterday to discuss the situation. Attention is drawn to the unsatisfactory constitution of the Executive of the Eivion Liberal Association It consists d thirty- five members, of whom nine are past chair- men, five vice-presidents, the treasurer, the secretary, and nineteen other members. In the past, the Committee has been apparently appointed without anv regard to a fair re- presentation of the electors in each of the district, with the result that some districts are more than fully represented, while others have no representatives at all. For instance, Pwllheli town, with only forty-one county electors, has three representatives on the Ex- ecutive, while Portmadoc, with 900 electors, has only four; Llandwrog, with 850 electors, has only one; and Llanrug, with nearly 700 electors, is still worse off, having no repre- sentatives at all. In fact, five-ninths of the the electorate have onlv thirteen representa- tives, while the remaining four-ninths have twenty-one. The total electorate numbers about 9,000. The Executive of the North Wales Quarry- men's Union, after a prolonged sitting on Wednesday, decided not to run a Labour can- didate. At a meeting of the Executive at Carnar- von yesterday, the preliminary arrangements were made for the selection of Liberal candi- dates. Four letters from probable candidates were received, but the names were not dis- closed. The Rev Ceidiog Roberts and Mr J Elias Jones, Penygroes, were deputed to undertake the secretarial duties the Secre- tary being a candidate. Every tiling passed off with perfect unanimity.
