■>? The 06 rnarvon Literary U nionbrought a very s iceessf ul season to a close on Monday evening, whet Glan Alaw delivered "he final lecture of the series. It has he,m an admirable series, and atever has the Union's claim for support fceen better justified. The members have had the advantage of following several learned men along unaccustomed trails, and the sum. total of the new knowledge obtained has been considerable. The Committee met with several misfortunes, and considerable disappointment was caused by the non-appearance of Madam Sarah Grand, Sir William Preece, and Dyfed,-the two latter unfortunately fceing unable to attend through illness. But prompt action secured admirable substitutes, and half-a-dozen really in- teresting examples of the popular lecture were the result. To begin with, we learnt a good deal that was s ew and interesting of French ways from the witty Emrys ap Iwan. Next we followed Mr Kearton into some of the wondrous ways of wild nature, and marvelled both at the curiosities found therein and at the lecturer's wonderful ingenuity. Then those who are Welsh of us gave our brains rare exercise in following Professor Henry Jones's criticisms of Mr Balfour's 1 philosophy, a process that was productive of the liveliest interest and profit. Next I' we shipped with Mr Herbert Jones to New Zealand, and were magnetised by his vivid descriptions of the Southern Britain and its life. Following, we lear t much of v-old and goldinining from Mr j G. J. Williams, and finally we took a j rapid review of the progress of the past under the able tutelage of the learned Glan Alaw. We enumerate the list for the sake of non-members, merely to in- timate to them what they have missed, in the hope that they will be induced to register a vow to enrol their names next year. Lectures such as the above, illustrated as most of these were by admirable pictures, are the most interest- ing mediums of knowledge and popular culture yet devised, and the Carnarvon Union may tike to itself credit for making as good a provision for the town in this respejt as is well-nigh possible.
