IBANGOR NOTES.
I BANGOR NOTES. Mr TMitor, your compositor has put me in a most murderous frame of mind, and I dare not go near Carnarvon, lest I stain my hands with gore. Two weeks since he announced, to my surprise, that Mr Grierson had delivered a lecture to the Menfci 8ociety on Medical Art." Mr Grierson was never guilty of any such misdemeanour, and it was wrong of your printer to say so. The paper he really did read was on Medical Art." Last week again he made it appear aa if I wrote with a strong Cockney accent and makes me talk of | hartiste." If this printer has a family depending upon him, warn him in time. The streets of Bangor are usually ia a vety qaiet condition on Sundays between half-past twelve and half-past one, forcibly reminding visitors of the deserted cities we read of in Arabian tales. Any buddôn noise cr uproar, as yoi-i my imagine, is therefore rather atartliug. On Sunday last, while busily engaged in placing myself outside of a good dinner, I was horror struck at hearing a sudden, strange, and awful sound, resembling the dying groan of ten thousand men, followed with what seemed to be the hoot of an army of savages. With professional curipsity I hastily poured the oo.utents of my dinner plate iown my tiiroat'fplate ,P is missing, 80 it perhaps slipped down a;¡¡oi, snatotoi at my htt, and ran out to see what had happeftd. Alas, Jit waa the old,story another man's wife. It appears that a citizen from Kyffln- square had induced the wife of another man to elope with him. The woul i-be runaways made tracks for the Railway Station, but the neighbours getting fcceut of the garue iu hand impressed a policeman, and constituting themselves as body guard, tho whole popnlation of Kyfiln-equare struck for the Station. There they found the man, but the woman had disappeared. However, the gentleman was secured, and the cnvatcade then made for the other station, the Police Station, this time. The indignation of the crowd was gradually rising, and by the time they had got half way down High -streeet- it culminated in one dreadful groan, followed by a tremendous hoot of contempt. The payty most interested, however, walked along, trying to appear as if he had no connection with tha uproar. The husband of the faithless sp >uee was met coming up the road quitounconoerred. and seemed vexed to find that the spoiler of his donjpuf io happiness was in custody. He tried to smile, but it was the smile of a mar- tyr. There xnusc have bean maay cold dinners that day, as almost all the women had been re- turning from the bakehouse, and had their baked meat and potatoes tucked under their aprons. High-street, ia fact, smelled like a gigantic cook shop. Friars Grammar School Athletic Sports will take plaoe on April 3rd at the school grounds. It Is probable that Mr Shepherd will act as starter, ani! Messrs White and Hay will be judges. Dr Grey Edwards will probably act as referee. The prizes, which, I am told, are wall worth running t?r, have fcsen supplied by Messrs Mappin and Webb, of London. I trust that the weather wfll be more favourable than It was l.<¡t year, as the entries are pretty numerous. I hear that an effort will be made to get Mills Pennant to distribute the prizes, bat she is from home it present. The Beaumaris Town Council do not seem to think Sunday Closing hi We.lee an unmixed bless- ing, and Alderman Thomat! is of opinion that it has not been a Buocess. If it has nor been a suc- ceae. I think they should icncre ttl" petition in favour of Sunday Closing ir» England. I do not see why we in Wales should bother about petition- ing parliament to cioae public-houaes in England on Sundays. Sareiy the people r» »st interested are the people who wid be most aiJ-jcted by 'be Sua- dsijt Olvcing. If the English people really want Soida7 Closing, depead upon it, they will get it by their own endeavours, and net by petitions from Welah town councils. Th" Beann^ns Council must know that the Act, as applied to this part of the Principality, has not been the means of do. creasing the. liquor traffic, at le&fit, in Beaumaris, as to use Aldaxmaa Thomas**• words—" More people go to Beattmaris on Sundays nof than formerly." Let,be Eaglishmea fight ttioi." own battles; even if the Act Is passed in England, Wales will not benefit by it. G'albboniah.
"I .BANGOR5 FOOTBALL NOTES.f
I BANGOR5 FOOTBALL NOTES. f The weather on Saturday Wad not very favour- able for out-door sports, bat in spite of a wId raw wind and a drizzly rain, a large number of people congregated at the football field to witness the match between Trinity College (Dublin) and Bangor F. C. The Irishmen had only ten men, I but oce of the team from Friars School volunteered hia services, and did good work as half-bark. A I piea*anier game, I think, has seldom been wit- nessed, and the Irishmen returned home as highly delighted wit'i the game as the Bangoriaas were With thfe victory. *« v I have just been mentally conhastingSaturday's match with the match played at Pant between I Carnarvon A. IT. C'J. arid Bangor. It is true there were tv»# goals disputed, but the disputes verb settled in about one minute. I daresay there were not three minutes lost during the game. The Dublin men were far superior to the Ban- gorians, as regarded running; when it came to a run the Irishmen could simply wulk rovind their opponents. I believe they tore much rao?e »t j home ac Rugby than Association, which may ac- j count for their splendid wmniDg. No very bril- liant rune were made, tbe state of the ground being very unfavourable, and charging was a dangerous practice, so it was quite a toss up whether the charger or the charged went down. There was an amasing little piece of bye play in whether the charger or the charged went down. There was an amasing little piece of bye play in one corner of the field. One of the Trinity men I had the ball to himself in one corner of the field, when J. F. Williams ran up to take it from him the Trinity men, thinking by the colour of J. 1!s jersey that he was one of their own men, said: dOh, it's all right, I have it." All right." said .1. F., but at the same time securing the bail, and piving it a flying kick among the Banger forwards. The Irishman looked a trifle astonished at first, but laughed heartily at Ms mistake. So much for the good humour exhibited throughout the game. w Oae splendid combined run was made by the Bangor men. The Bangor goal was hotly besieged for about fifteen minutes, and the Dublin men were peppering away. However, after a scrim- mage the leather was secured by Davy Jones, and a short run Was made by him when he passed to Joseph Jon op, who *ran it up still] farther, then pissed it to Dick Williams, who sent it well up, when it was then passed to Smith, who sent it home. This Was the best piece of play exhibited. » A groat improvement was noticeable throughout the whole team, aad the passing was really good. Bob Williams and Willie Lewis worked together splendidly, and played like demons. If this im- provement is only sustained till Easier Menday, when the Aston Villalt-aam cccus, there will be seen then one of the beat gasies it will be possible to see. ♦ I hear that Humpnrey Jones has been selected as the first reserve man for the inter- national match, Wales v. Scotland. It is some cucouragement to think that the Northern Welsh Association has been acknowledged at last. It WfoB with much surprise that I read the letter in last week's issue, signed R. J, P. (excuse me forming a contraction). When I wrote tiie account of the match between Bangor Athletic and the Bangor Town Club, I really wished to do justice to both teams. I had been told that John (I do not know his name) played well, and wishing to do him justice, of course I said he had played well, and I simply called him by his nickname, because I knew cf no ether. With Jack Williams the case is a little different. I called him Step," to distinguish him fiom Jacky Williams, and I asiure R. J. P. that in neither case did 1 employ the nicknames in ordei to cast a slur on the iu- dividuals mentioned, as bo seems to think. I notice, Mr Editor, that "En Avant" has re- turned to his old style of notes, and you may tell him the football atmosphere is calm once again. • The result of the association committee meeting held at Carnarvon on Monday last, exceeded my most sanguine hopes. Of course, I expected that the Bangor club would sustain the protest, but that they should have such a lsirge majority in their favour, I did not erpact. It has been decided to play the semi-final at Vaynol Fark, failing that, at rlhyI. I trust that it may be played at Vaynol Park, as it-will be much more convenient for those most interested, namely the Carnarvon and Bangor people. It has been rumoured that' the Carnarvon Ath- letics intend to stand on their dignity, and refuse f to play, but I cannot vouch for the truth of this; but if they do not play, it will show a great want of pluck. Of oourse, I can well understand the feeling, and heartily sympathise with them (after Monday's meeting/. It must be heartrending indeed to havo the cup" thus rudely duelled from thefr lips. There's many a slip 'twixt •cap' and the lip." However, I trust they will agree to play. ♦ I I note that the local clubs will be well re- presented in the match between Liverpool District v. Northern Welsli. Humphrey Jones, J. F. Wil- liams and Willio Lewis have bo&n selected frota the Bangor F.C., aud Bertie Newton and Dick Newton from Carnarvon Athletic F.C. The final cup tie is to oe played at Rhyl on the 12th pMXtDM. Elles Dit. ADJomuftD Iwottbst.—An adjourned inquest was held on Tuesday upon the body of John Williams, aged 23, who was a native of Llanfair P.G. The deceased was a farm labourer, atLlan- gwyllog, and on Tuesday, 18th inet., took lodgings at 35, West-end, Bangor, and died there j the following morning. It appears that he had { quarrellei with Owen Jones, a felloe labourer, j about eight weeks since, and was sometime ? afterwards under the treatment of Dr Williams, Llaugefni. The inquest had been adjourned in order to find out if daath could have resulted from injuries received in that quarrel, but Dr Williams gave it as his opinion that this was not the case, and a verdiot cf Doatia from natural cauacii" was returned.

LLANDUDNO. frarssx.-An inqnest was held at the Cottago » On Saturday. touching the death of Robert Hnghes, Morfa, Eglwys ?hM, 23 years old, who leaver a widow and one -bild. From the evidence of Thomas Edwards it seems the deceased was employed at the new docks being constructed at Dqganwy, and on Friday, whilst working tu* a tipper, slipped off the metals in leading the front horse. The animal stamped on bim, which pre- f vented his rising, and subsequently the front I wheel of the truck mangled hia body frightfully. He was takeu with all speed on A stretcher by special engine to the Cottage Hospital, was seen by Dr Nicol, but died a few minutes aftemardq. The jury remarked npon the dangerous practice of tippers running along the metaur, and, ia reply to the coroner, the chief foreman, who was present, for the London and North Wsstarn Railway Com- pany, said he would see that the practice be rot allowed in future. He had previously spoken about it, but the 'tnen ehose to ran along the metals.

Lord Prshkts's Gbwbbosity.—FOR some seasons txsk the members of the Carnarvon Rowing Club have been hampered by a want of funds, a state of things which hu prevented them getting a new boat of the most modern construction, with- out which it would be useless to enter into any I' great competition, and have recently be«u sending circulars round to possible subscribers. One of these was sent to Lord PeHrbya, who at once, in an autograph letter, acknowledged the receipt of I it, and said that as he had no idea whatever of the qUI needed to parchus-j a boat of the kind acquired, he should be gla-i to know the total cost of sach a boat. The secretary of the club re- plied that a tarn of j648 w )uld be required, where. upon his lordship in .the no-it generous manner, <ent, by return of post, a cheque for half the twmount, vhs., J524. Generosity of this kind will lie widely appreciated. PorufcAB ScimtcB L»cw i3.—A lecture on the cc Chemistry of Food was delivered in the Eng- lish Wesleyan- schoolroom on Wednesday evening, March 19th, by Mr Alfred Williams, CE. The «ha!r was taken at half past &oven by John Menzies, 35sq J.P., who in hid remarks said that he was glad.to find that this claas of lectures, which were being delivered all over the country, was appre- ciated in Carnarvon. The lecturer was warmly received. He taid,that all thjt be would attempt U do that evening was to show how "Food'' is originally derived from the reeks and soils, and from air and water, but wonli have occasion to .refer to special classes of aliments. He would defer the consideration of composition, properties, and adulteration until a future lecture. Having pointed oat that i ight was wave motions in the aether, the lecturer went on to say that it waa by virtue of these rays of light we continued to live. Although the assertion somewhat startling, he feltaure that his audience woad see the troth of it ere the close of the lecture Several experi. ments of great beauty were performed to show the composition and properties of I the air. Hav- log demonstrated bl experiment that the action of oxygen OIl the carbon of tho blood circulating in the longs was almost identical with the action of the same on an ordinary fire, the lecturer went on to say that it was the carbon contained in our I food which was "burnt" by the ox of the air, that kept up the heat of the body. This fact led to a convenient and natural way of dividing foods into two great classes, viz., those which went to keep up the heat of the body, and those which went to form tissue," and to re- trace waste. For an aliment to possess the latter property it was absolutely necessary that it should contain nitrogen. The lecturer said that it was Astonishing to notice the DnmL"r of errors which I were cJne to ignorance of these first principles. For instance, arrrowroot was shown to be destitute of I nitrogen, and therefore destitute of nourishment. I Cocoa again was often mixed with etwrch and I wagar, and its per-centage of tissue forming nitro. t*en reduced. By means of the oxyhydrogen microscope the differeuce between pore and adul. terated cocoa was made very plain to Mr Wil- liams's audience. The sample of pure cocoa was token from some of Messrs Cad fury's. What the lecturer called the formative prirciple inherent in matter was a subject of deep interest, and the ««araples: ot cryetallaatioa which waiii thrown <42 to the screen, drew from the audience loud ap- plause, espeeirily the beautiful growth of lead, which waa brought about by a current of el»ctfxcity. Having traced out how all out food comes, In the first instance, in xa the rocks and soils, and from air and water, by the action of sanlight on tha green colouring matter in the leaves of plants, the lecturer aaid that before concluding he would like to point out that the power which drovs our I ateam engine was the stored up power of the sun, &I was also the cheerful blaze of our fires. The lecture was listened to with the greatest interest by | al large and appreciative audience. In I seconding the voto of thanks to Mi Williams (which wes proposed by the chairman), Mr I Hughes said that he hoped they would soon liave the pleasure of listening to Mr Williams again. Mr Jeffrey -begged to endone Mr Haghes's remarks. Thanks werb accoidad to Mr W. G. Humphreys for the very efficient way in trhUfti he agisted the lecturer.

The request was complied with. The clerk stated that it was time that calls be signed for the I following six months. He said that the calls thii time differed a little from the previous calls, in consaquence of the arrears being included in them. £ 1,933 of the old call had not yet been paid, and he included this sum in the new call. A.I«o' the new call was Id in the £ in excess of the previous one, and the reason for this was that the rateable value of the Dinorwic Quarry bad fallen over JB3,000 since the time when that call was made.

TM Church Yoluo Mbk's Ltterart Society Amwuai, CaNCKaT. —On Thursday evening last a small audience assembled at the National School to hear a capital coucert arranged by the abova society. The s> tnallnesa of the audien was no doubt due to the counter attraction at ibenezer Ohapel and to the weather. The artistes were — Sopranos, Missea Brad wen, Miss Fanny Richards, and Miss M. J. Fotrlkes. A. C. Hope did not appeal as announced. Tenors, Ecs Bradwen, Mr R. Fouikss, Mr IL H. Wil- liams, and Mr J. E. Jones. Baes, Llew Llwyfo, Mr Tom Harris. Mt David Tones, Mr Henry Jones, and Mr A. Henderson. We have not space to I not? at length the many excellencies of ibe conce t, and m-n8t confine ourselves to a notice of a few of the chief points. In the first place, Mr 0. A. Jones proved himself a most genial and satisfactory chairman, enlivening the proceedings by many a happy anecdote or remark. Secondly, LlcwLlwyIo was in one of his happiest moods, his readering of U Simon the Cellarer" in response to an encore being really fine. The third point wo note was not ac exeeUency. We refer to the recitations in- terpolated between the pongs by a gentleman whose name we did not obtain. However good these recitations may be under certain conditions, we considered them rather mistimed on Thursday night, as adding considerably to the length of an inordinately long programme. The fourth point wo must also denounce on the same grounds, and on another. We refer to tke eiaging at sight cam petition. These are admit able devices no count to test the acquirements of the competitors, but why afflict a long enduring audience with them ? The dreaty item might well have been omitted, espe- cially consideting the length of the programme and the thorough ventilaition of the room. Miss Fouikes, who sang] "Beddgolert" and Gwrhig j Morwr," has a voice which may be described -is pleasing, very pleasing indeed, but her manner is disappointing. There is no intensity or fervour in it, and Dr Parry's grand production was warbled almost as coolly and indifferently as some common place lullaby. This was a pity. Miss Poulke6 would do well to ixaitata passion, if she docs not feel it in songs like these. The Misses Bradwen were charming, alike ia their voices and their cultured style, their rendering of Handel's duet, "Oh lovely peace" being good, and their singing of the songs put down to their names, viz., I". Bird in the hand," by Misa Sissio Bradwen, and "Tit for tat," by Miss Maggie Sradwea, being delicious. Miss Fanny Richards appears almost a prima donna amongst our local singers. Her voice is a grand one and eqaal to the severest demands, daricnli^e in what wo may call its lower upper notes welling forth as if fromen exhaostlesa fountain swelling and filling the room without apparent effort till the rafteM ting again, and withall of a marvellous sweetness and extensive compass. It Is a voice well worthy of the best treatment, and Miss Richards, while lacking the culture of her move fortunate 3ietars in this res- pect, has an exquisite natural taste, which makes fall amends for lack oi tuition. We recommend Miss Rioharde to aim at the highest flights of the musical prciet^n, confident that with hard, work and pers^virring study she will ere long justify, and evea surpass the predictions we.have more than once ventured to make concerning her. Her renderings of "Y Gazdotes Faoh," and "It was a dream," ware characterised by true dramatic genius. Mr J. E, Jonee has & very light tenor voioe, which he managed beautifully in the two songs Y Fam a'i Baban," and "The Anchor's weighed." Mr R. W. Foalkes is a rough musical diamond, and when a few not displeasing manner isms are polished away will rank high alt a tenor singer in local circles. His manner is hooeat and hearty, and wine Mm favnnr wiHi hfa imdfptMto .t. He sang Handel's flue air How vain is maa, and a song the title of which escaped ^us. MrD. Jones sang "The Skipper's Flag" well, but was not so successful, we think. In Ehren on tha Rhine." Mr H. Jones sang Gocoaiant i Qymra," and Honour and Arms," In good style. Mr R. H. Williams smng the "Children's Home," and eang it very well indeed, and with the most correct taste. Eoa Bradwen contributed a piecc) of his own composition, -Utled C!Breu- ddwyd y Milwr." We should prefer to hear it again before passing an opinion on it. As to Mr Brad wen's rendering of it, that was irrep-oachable. Mr Tom Harris closed the programme by singing The Bell Ringer." £ Bis previous song so The Powder Monkey," is an old favourite. Mr Han-is sa*! £ ;it well, but his rendering of "The Bell Ringer was one of the best of the evening,, and we do not expect to hear it better sung. It was indeed a treat. Mr Harris's voice improves oon- tinuaily, and much of its earlier roughness has gone. As a gentleman well qualified to judge remarked, it is a voice that will go on improving for years, growing mellower and Pil rer year by j year. Mr J. Williams, organist of Ohfist Ofcurch, most efficiently discharged the realty exacting duties of accompanist. II kotal Naval Rksssvb Coxcbat.—On Monday evening, what was announced as a "grand COil- cert" was given by the members and friends of the No. 1 Battery of tha Royal Naval Reserve. This must not be confounded with the entertain- ment uonualiy given by the Naval Volunteers. I The committee had scoured the presence of Sir I Llewelyn Turner as chairman. Ltdy Turner was also preseat. The prograoune was gone through in what may ba;mildly termed a rollicking fashion, and the very large audlsnoe were treated to some | tacbibitiona of the vooal art. Mr 0- I a rencu, who sang The Slave Ship," has a capital voice, and considerable taste, and His rendering of the sdng was well received., Thouword eoMMMt, by six members of the Royal Naval Reserve, was well done; the blunders, however, c? one of the men, who was elearly a ivjw hand, cansiog con- sid<m»We omsseraenV Mr B. S. Jones, R.N.R., brought down "the Qtaxue by his lively and humorous rendering of a comic soog concerning the deipgs of mermaids in their ocean heme, and 1 wag. enwr-d. Bis second song was equally weli- received, and lie ■certainly was cae of bhe most successful artistes of the evening. The remarks made in another paragraph concerning Miss Fanny Richards'a voioe will apply in this case. The treat of the evening was the appear- ance of Mr John Trevor Williams as a comic I vocalist. Tilat gentleman, who appeared in evening dress, was received with tremendous cheering, renewed over and over again, an ovation which he mildly deprecatod by a gentle wave I of his hands towards the delighted audience. He had in his hand what appeared to De a nymn book, and seemed to hold it upside down, but he, 1 nevertheless, went through his song without a I blunder and though naturally rather nervous at first, he gradually recovered his confidence, and was, at the conclusion of the song, greeted with such a bu'st of applause ae seldom talls to anyone, save perhaps Sims Reeves. He returned, ard in funereal tones and time commenced to sing "Sweet Belle Mahone," which we beg to point out to H, Williams is not a hymn, and should have been suvg with a little more spirit. However, it was a greater success that the first effort, the audience joining in the chorus con a/wore, and thust providing what was really the most enjoyable iten; in the whole performance. It was really a treat to listen to that impromptu chorus singing. What was described as positively Mr Williams's last pablio appearance before his departure for the Oontiueat was mcst undoubtedly a sucoess from every point:ofriev. The entertainment concluded with the singing of God save the Quean." NORTH Wales CoyoaBGArxcxAi, Union -The seventh annual ausecibly of the North Wales Con- gregational Union was operfed on Monday at Oswestry, under the presidency cf Mr A. J.
