CARNARVON IIARBOUR IRUBT.
CARNARVON IIARBOUR IRUBT. The monthly meeting of the Trust was held on Tuesday morning at the Harbour Offices, under the presidency of the Hon. F. G. Wynn. The attendance also in- cluded Messrs J. Menzies (vice-chairman) E. H. Owen, R. Roberts, Tresvor Hughes, Thomas Owen C. Watkin Roberts, R. Thomas, W. Paynter, J. Pritchard, E. Hnghes (Mayor), Hugh Jones, John Davies, D. P. Williams, Thomas Hughes, Job Bowen, O. Roberts, G. J. Roberts, J. Bodvel Roberts, Dr J. Williams, Col Ruck; and Mr W. Bowen Jones (surveyor), and Mr Henry Owen (collector). THE* LATE COLONEL R. AP HU WIL- LIAMS. The Chairman referred to the loss the Trust had sustained in the death of Colonel R. ap Hu Williams, who was an old friend of his. About that hour the grave would be closing over one who had been a member of their Board, and that morning mourners were seen going about the streets. They all knew him well. He was an exceFent land- lord, and his true and kind heart had made him the friend of everybody. They were adil aware of the interest that he took in all I matters pertaining to the Trust, and per- haps few members took more interest in the work of the Board than he. He was most conscientious in the discharge of his duties, which he tried to fulfil to the best of his ability. It was only the other day that he met him at Afonwen Station--and whenever he dia meet him the work of the Trust was always uppermost in his mind—and their last words were concerning the improve- ments which he said the Trust ought to have effected in a part of the new harbour works on which they were new employed. Colonel Williams' idea was to make a land- ing place there for the Anglesey ferry steamer for the convenience of passengers in stormy weather and so much interested were they in the conversation that when the train started he (the chairman) asked hun to keep what he had to say until the meet- ing that day and also remarked upon the danger of his slipping which might result in death little thinking at the time that those words would have had a prophetic meaning It was while inspecting the works of the I Trust that he met with the accident which brought about his untimely death. As a member told him the previous day, the de- ceased gentleman was in a great hurry to catch a train,but he had got the idea of landing place so much upon his mind that he insisted upon the member in question go- ing with him to the new works in order that he might explain what he thought should be done and how best to carry it out, little thinking then that it would be hi3 last journey. These circumstances went I to show how uncertain their lives were. In the death of Colonel Williams they had lost a valuable member and one whom it wonld be difficult to replace. He moved that a vote of condolence be passed with the family in their bereavement. Mr J.Menzies seconded and it was unani- mously agreed to. THE VACANT SEAT The Chairman Since we have a vacancy on the Trust I give notice that I shall move at the next meeting the appointment of Mr Hugh Richards broker, as a fit mem- ber to succeed in the place rendered vacant by the death of our esteemed friend, Colonel R. ap Hu Williams. ANNUAL STATEMENT. Mr Menzies (chairman of the Finance Committee) submitted a report for the fin- ancial year ending 30th June, 1897, for which it appeared that the total income amounted to JE3404 139 3d, showing an in- crease of JE115 Os 3d as compared with the previous year. The ordinary expenditure amounted to £ 2406 5s 5d, a decrease of C15 lis 10d as compared with the previous year. The capital expenditure on new works dur- ing the year amounted to £ 1518 5s 3d; the mortgage debt of the Trust had been re- duced J6263 4s from revenue during the past year. The slates exported for the year were 99, tons as compared with 89,189 tons for the previous year. The coal im- ported was 16,622 tons as compared with 15,615 tons last year. Mr Menzies added that the bill for professional service in con- nection with the Corporation Bill amounted to JE50, but Mr C. A. Jones, solicitor to the Trust, only made a charge of 25 guineas, which the finance committee considered very reasonable, and recommended that the money be paid. The committee's recommendation having been agreed to Colonel Ruck pointed out that there was an increase of £ 81 in the cost of the gas and water supply during the year compared with the previous financial year. The Surveyor explained that this was to lie attributed to the whole of the gas and water services having been relaid. MONTHLY STATEMENT. The monthly statement of tee Finance Committee for September showed the fol- lowing particulars -Amount received from imports, jE60 16s; exports, £ 109; tonage, jE47 6s; passing tolls, £ 2 12s; yards, whar- fers, &c., £ 62—making a total of JE281 10s, as compared with JS272 for the correspond- ing period of last year. The quantity of slates shipped during the month of August waa 8340 tons, as compared with 7410 tons the corresponding month of last year. THE BOARD OF TRADE AND THE NEW SEA WALL. A letter was read from the Board of Trade with reference to the new sea wall now in course of erection. That Board pointed out that the Trustees appeared to have mis- understood the purport of their letter of the 28th July last. The Board agreed with the statement contained in the letter of the 3rd August as to what took place at the in- terview. The statement was to th eeffect that the Board of Trade and the Trustees should agree to a case being stated for the opinion of the law officers of the Crown, and in the event af their decision being in favour of the right of the Crown, the Trustees should purchase the same on the terms stated in the correspondence. The Board did not desire to depart from the position, bctt in their view it was unnecessary for the law officers to hear counsel on either side, as as the case which theTrustees agreed to sub- mit would presumably contain evidence in support of the claim put forward. More- over the question of appearing by counsel was no part of thea rrangement made with the deputation, and was contrary to the in- variable practice. If the Trustees had been as they alleged, in possession of the fore- abore for over a century with a full know- ledge and assent of the Crown there should be no difficulty in their being able to prove I the letter at a very small cost, while if, on the other hand, the Crown should com- mence proceedings a s suggested in the Trustees' etter it would have to be by way of information under the Crown Suits Act, 1865. In such proceedings it would be necessary for the Trustees to go into their title for the purpose of putting in an answer to the information, and in addition to that expense there would be the further expense of the legal proceedings. In theso cases, and having regard to the letter of the trust of the 19th July last, the Department would be glad to hear that upon reconsidera- tion the Trustees were prepared to carry out the arrangement which had been arrived at, and that this statement of the case with the necessary evidence upon which their Tiaim was based would be forwarded in due course for submission to the law officers. Th course proposed had been found to tend to the avoidance of costly litigation and solu- tion of disputes. Mr D. P Williams thought the matter was of too technical a nature for the Board as a whole to decide upon, and he suggested that it be left in the hands of the Chairman, Vice-chairman, and Mr C. A. Jones. Mr Menzies The question is whether you approve of what the letter contains. It will be remembered that Mr Tyrrell, the counsel, advised Mr C. A. Jones that it would be well for us to appear by counsel. Mr Bodve Roberts: That means that he would like to go there himself (laughter). Mr Menzies explaine d that what the Board of Trade wanted from the Trustees was a fee simple of £ 1 and a perpetuity of ( Is per annum. J After further discussion, it was resolved I on the motion of Mr Bodvel Roberts that a j case be stated for the law officers of the [ Crown. I LLANDDWYN. A number of gentlemen were named to sign, on the behalf of the Trust, a lease of Llanddwyn for 75 years. Sir Bodvel Ro- berts being named said that the lease ought to be signed by the junior members of the Trust, as they would live longer than he and others (laughter). The Chairman (to Mr Roberts): After 75 years your responsibility will be over (laugh- ter). v ° A PETITION. I A petition, signed by about 80 cattle dealers, &c., was received praying upon the i Trust to make better facilities for the land- j ing of cattle from Anglesey, by the erec- tion of a sipway on the site of the new works | ing of cattle from Anglesey, by the erec- tion of a sipway on the site of the new works | in close proximity to the slaughter-houses. 1 A letter was also read from Captain Lewis, j of the "Arvon," supporting the views ex- pressed by the petitioners. He added that the late Col Williams who had examined the proposed site with him, was in favour of the scheme. The Chairman said that|he had written a reply to the letter in question, which was addressed to him, stating that some im- provement of the kind was needed, because on several occasions lie himself had been unable to land a boat at the present slip- way, but seeing that a considerable portion of the new wall ha d been erected the Trustees would not be able to alter the contract. At the same time everything would be done to meet the wishes of the petitioners. Colonel Ruck: This question has been discussed by us before. Mr Menzies said that the matter had 1 been under consideration by the Trust on several occasions, and at the outset it was I pointed out that the best sice for a slipway I was behind the "Ja Ja" warehouse. The new sea wall was intended to be one side of a dock which would float vessels of greater draught than those which entered the pre- sent dock, therefore it was out of the ques- tion to make a slipway there. Mr G. J. Roberts observed that when the question of making the present slipway was first discussed the landing of pasengers was the chief consideration, and this was how the scheme was adopted. It was then thought it would be rather far for passeng- ers to walk to the end of the pier. More- over, there was no knowledge then that the Trustees were going to incur expenditure in making the new wall, otherwise cattle dealers and others would have held out to the last in favour of making the improve- ment suggested. Under the present condi- tions the greatest difficulty was experienced in landing cattle and sheep, and passengers were also greatly inconvenienced. By the erection of a slipway on the site in question the passengers traffic would not be inter- ferred with, and the necessity of taking the I animals through the narraw streets of the town to the slaughter house would be cb- viatd. The Chairman observed that the Trustees could not at present alter the plans of the new sea wall ut they might after the com- pletion of the works take into consideration the question of making another slipway, There was no doubt that a landing place of the kind suggested was neded as it was diffi- cult to approach the present slipway when a stiff breeze was lowing from certain direc- tions On the motion of Mr G. J. Roberts the petition was referred to the Works Com- mittee. THE PROPOSED NEW PIER. With reference to the application made by the Corporation some time ago for per- mission to dredge the Anglesey channel for the purposes of the proposed new pier, and the recommendation made by the Trust at its last meeting that the matter be referred Mr Leyster, senior, the Corporation bad now wrote stating that they could not see their way to accept the recommendation, j and suggesting instead that the Trust! should appoint a small committee to con- fer with a sub-committee of the Corpora- tion upon the matter. The Mayor said that the opinion or the Corporation was that by meeting in the way suggested some means might be devised for for overcoming the difficulty. Mr Bodvel Roberts explained that the r Trust in their reply had confined themselves to that part called Barras, whereas the ap- plication of the Council relate dto the whole length, including the bank opposite the pre- sent pier. Mr D. P. Williams considered that it would be very desirable to appoint a com- mittee as suggested, and this view was sup- ported by Mr Richard Thomas, who pointed out that owing to the presence of the bank ] opposite the pier the ferry steamer could hardlv land at high tide. } J The Vice-chairman observed that the ( Trust even on their own account ought to J call in an expert. Without being disres- I pectfu to his fellow-members he did not I think that they knew very much about the question at any rate he would not care to accept the responsibility. The Chairman I am told that if this is a. navigable channel the matter will have to be referred to the Board of Trade before any dredging is done. Mr D. P. Williams formally moved that with the view of coming to an amicable < settlement the meeting should appoint a sub-committee to meet a committee of the- Corporation. Tne Vice-chairman said it was not a ques- tion for an amicable settlement, for he ven- tured to say that there was not a member of the Trust who was not anxious to assist the Corporation in regard to dredging so far a.> it did not interfere with the navigation lof the river. The best thing they coud do would be to take the opinion of a man that they could trust as to the effect of dredging on the navigation. The Chairman said that the Trust could not take the responsibility of the effect which any change might have on the river. Mr Lvster had told him that the matter would have to be referred to the Board of Trade. He believed that there was a great deal in Mr D. P. Wiliams's suggestion for the appointment of a committee. Dr John Williams feared that the joint committee would never agree. Mr Bodvel Roberts said that he must dis- agree from the previous speaker, for a joint- committee would find out whether the re- quirements of the Corporation could not be reduce to a minimum. Mr Thomas Owen spoke strongly in fav- our of doing something. Last Saturday week the two o'clock steamer from Anglesey wenc aground and was not released till five o'clock, and by this means one trip was lost. There was again a talk of having a station at Llangaffo, and if that was erected the Carnarvon people would be sorry to find the Anglesey people from that part going over to Bangor to transact their business. He was rather afraid that before long the chanel would come entirely to the Anglesey side as it was already moving fast in that direction. After some further discussion a com- mittee was appointed to confer with the Corporation, the committee consisting of the chairman and vice-chairman, Messrs Edward H. Owen, Charles A. Jones, John Hughes, Thomas Owen, Job Owen, and J. Roberts. THE ABERMENAI BREAKWATER. In his report for the month the Surveyor stated that the work of strengthening the Abermenai Breakwater had been suspended for the winter. Since his last report 100 yards of groins had been taken up and re- placed, this bringing the total length up to 260 yards sincethe beginning of the sum- mer at a tota outlay of £ 17.—He added that 313 yards of the foundations of the new sea wall had been laid down.
THE CAMBRIAN RAILWAY.
THE CAMBRIAN RAILWAY. The. Cambrian Railways Company con- template carrying out extensive improve- ments in their permanent way, especially to the main section, during the coming winter months. It is proposed to double the line at two points between Whitchurch and Aberystwyth in order to avoid the delays and congestions of traffic now experienced during the summer season. The two parts at which the improvements can be carried out with the least outlay are those between Montgomery and Moat Lane, and between Machynlleth and Borth. The doubling of the line in these two actions will consider- ably expediate the traffic.

The tenants had formed a committee, of which Mr Urias Williams, Bodlondeb, was ments, and had purchased a very handsome chairman, Mr T. Breese secretary, and con- sisting of Messrs W. Jones.

Hampton Lewis," and in doing so he expressed the hope that he would have many years to follow in the footsteps of his father. Mr Urias Williams, as 'chairman of the presentation committee, then introduced Mrs Owen, Hirfron, to the president, and Mr T. Breese, as secretary, read an illumi- nated address, in which the tenants ex- pressed themselves as being proud and glad that Mr Hampton Lewis had attained his 21st birthday, and they hoped that he would follow the footsteps of his father. Mrs Owen, in formally making the pre- sentation, said that she was very proud of the honour and was very glad to see Mr Lewis grown up, as she remembered him from his childhood. Mr Breese then introduced Mrs Roberts who presented the other silver cup on be- half of the servants of Bodior, and Mr D. Jones, on behalf of the servants of Henllys and Brynhyfryd, presented a set of gold studs. Mr Hampton Lewis, in acknowledging the presentations, warmly thanked all the friends who had shewn such kind feelings to- wards him.

--...-OF GREAT PUBLIC INTEREST.…
OF GREAT PUBLIC INTEREST. It is the duty of every individual, and es- pecially the press, to distribute news and facts which tend to promote general welfare as by this means only will it reach all classes. Nothing is more deserving of publi- city than the proper means or remedies which will ensure public health and prevent the ravages of prevalent chronic diseases, from which thousands lead a life of suffering and pain, because the proper means and remedies are not known. Prominent among the re- medies thus deserving of mention is War- ners Safe Cure. The universal verdict of thousands in Great Britain and Ireland, who have used it, leaves no doubt as to its value, and we have repeatedly reported facts regarding this remedy, and again bring before our readers a marvellous cure effected in the case of Mrs Tompkins, 44. Bridgend road, Maesteg, South Wales, as illustrated by her letter before us, which reads: —"I consider it my duty to make public my wonderful cure through Warner's Safe Remedies, for I was on the brink of my grave, but through the dear Lord's mercy, one of Warner's books came to hand. I had seen them many times before, but would not read them, as I thought nothing but having a doctor would do. A doctor at- tended me for six weeks for Bright's disease and I was worse than when I sent for him. He told me I must submit t oan examination, he would have another doctor with him. same evening the nurse brought me Warner's book, that had been pushed under the door, then I read it, and could see it was one of God's sent blessings, for this wonderful medicine, Warner's S afe Cure, completely cured me, and you may be sure I am never tired of recommending it wherever I hear of any illness."
FOOTBALL.
FOOTBALL. BANGOR V. CARNARVON IRCN- OPOLIS. When Greek meets Grcek Then comes the htg of war." Such was the case last Saturday when these local rivals met in a friendly encounter at Bar.gor. Bangor had their full strength on the field, whilst Carnarvon played two reserves. The game was hotly contested throughout, and b )th teams were so evenly balanced that a draw would fitly represent the play. It was in the last ten minutes, however, that the game was won, Bangor being fortlitiate in obtaining twolgoal mainly thrCujjh superiority of strength, and not skill. The gsme during this period more resembled a Spanish bullfight than a game of football. The spectators cheered every bit of dirty play; thus the players were encouraged to give an exbibition of their pugnacious abilities, and the general opinion of the spectators after the match was, that they had witnessed a game the like of which had not been seen in the locality for many years. The teams lined up as follows :— BANGOR. Alec Hughes. R. Roberts. Trevor Jones. J. Arridge. T. Buckland. S. Roberts. R. Jones. T. Thomas. Shea. R. Owen. W Lewis 0 D J Jones. W Owen. J Williams. Ellis Williams. W. Morris. H Evans D S Jones. J Griffith Matt Hughes. J. O. Williams. J. E. Hughes. CARNARVON. Referee, Mr J. C. Jones, Bangor. Bangor won the toss, and elected to de fend the Church-end goal in the first half. W. Owen kicked off for Carnarvon, and the ball was taken towards the Bangor goal ar,d sent behind. Carnaivon kept up the pres- sure for about ten minutes, when W. Morris tested Hughe3 with a fiue shot, but the Bangor custodian was just able to avert the downfall of his citadel. And the Bangor backs found that they would have to play a rather different game in order to avert danger from the Carnarvon vanguards. W. Morris got clear with the ball again, but as he was steadying to shoot for goal Trevor Jones, the Bangor back, rushed at him; however, he just missed his mark, but Will sent the ball behind. The game from now to the end presented a very different ap- pearance—the players on both sides goiiig for oce another like dogs. Football, how- ever, was out of the question. The game for some time was contested between the 'Nops' forwards and the Bangor backs. Ultimately Bangor got a turn at pressing, Walter Lewis being conspicuous with some fine centres, but J. 0. Wil iams and Mitt. Hughes prevented danger. Give and take play followed for seme time, both goals I being visited in turn, but the goalkeepers were in fine form. About fivelminutes from the interval, a free-kick was awarded Ban- gor in the 'Nops' quarters. J.Arridge took the kick, the ball dropping at the fo^t of Dick Owen, who was standing close in, Illld this player had no difficulty in notching the first point for Bangor. Half-time arrived with the score, BANGOR, 1 GOAL, CARNARVON, 0. From the restart the game was more fiercely contested, both sides striving hard to gain some advantage; fouls were frequent, and the excitemeut rose to a very high pitch. Now, Walter Lewis would get away for Banger; then W. Owen, the 'Nops' Center forward, would be seen racing down the field, but the forwards were not able to make much headway owing to the fine dis- play of the half backs on both sides. Buckland would occasionally attempt a run for Bangor, but Owen tor Johnny Williams would be after him like a shot, and would bring the ball back again. Then Shea or Tommy Thomas would break away for Bangor, and would be pulled up by the Carnarvon backs. W. Owen, :at length broke away from the 'Nops' quarters, and passed to Ellis Williams, the outside left: this player crossed to Will. Morris, who took up the running. Sam Roberts went for him but missed him; then Buckland ran up to him, but Will dodged round, and was running at top speed for goal. The two Bangor bicks came for him together, and it was wonderful how Will, managed to slip between them with the ball. He had only a few yards more, but tne Bangor backs were after him like hounds, and suc- ceeded in bringing him to earth with a kick in the leg just as he was about to shoot; I this bit of work on the part of Morris was about the best bit of play seen during the J match, and the spectators cheered lustly. In a few moment play was at the other end a foul was given against one of the Carrar- von backs, from which Bangor score ftgain. After the restart, midfield play continued for some time nltimately the ball was pass- ed to Ellis Williams, who was iaceing his own goal. But poor Ellis was rendered "hors de combat," by a kick, and the game was stopped for a few seconds. When play was resumed W. Owen, who had been play- ing a champion game for Carnarvon, found an opportunity of avei ging this dirty play on the part of Bangor. W. Owen was running the ball down the field, Roberts came towards him and was sent back reeling along the ground for yards from a severe, charge by this sturdy centre forward. A' rush was afterwards nibde tpwatfls Ca*-» oarvon gcah and BucMand srcobed tne'.tSWi I poal for Bangor, with a splendid shot. The end was reached in another minute with the score:- BANGOR 3 GOALS, CARNARVON 0. For Bangor Alex. Hughes in goal played as good as ever. The backs, however, in- dulged in dirty play and but for this Car- narvon would certainly have scored on more than one occation. J. Arridge was their best half back whilst Walter Lewis and Tommy Thomas were the pick of the forwards. For Carnarvon J. E. Hughes in goal and J. 0, Williams and Matt. Hughes, the backs, played very well J.O. being acknowledged the best back on the field. The half hacks, the three youngest on the field, played a, very good game. Ellis Williams and D. J. Jones, on the left wing, showed greht promise, W. Owen on the centre, with Johnny Wi'iams [..ud W. Morris on the right wirg played splendidly and suffered hard li: es on Reveral occasions. If Carnarvon kef.p up the form of last Satuiday, it willl,ot becsurprising to find them reversing the score when they play Bangor again. ON-LOOKER.

In the first half, the visiting team pressed rather hard, but the home team had a sdeudid fulibuck in the pet son of Priestly, but for his fine play, the visitors would have managed to scaie many more goals than they did. At httlf-time the score stood :—Beaumaris, o Llangefni, 1. Immediately after the re-stivrt, ihe home team managed to take the ball in front of their opponents' -oal, but it was not with- out very hard work that they managed to put it in.

j ANGLESEY AND CARNARVONSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. A meeting of the executive committee of the Anglesey and Carnarvonshire Agricul- tural Society, was held at the Castle Hotel, Bangor, on Thursday.

Among the number was one against Messrs J-131, Jones and Son, Dinarth Stud Pony FatDJ" near Llandudno, to whose exhibit Wf.g awarded the £ 10 prize offered by Lord PeH- rhyn for the best mountain pony. The p)0- test was lodged on the ground that Messrs John Jones and Son were not bona-fide tru- ant farmers, as laid down in the conditions, but horse dealers.
