The shops were closed and work suspended. The services, despite the inclement weather. were well attended, throughout the dav. I THE FERRY QUESTION.—The date of the arbitration on the value of the land on the Anglesey side of the Menai Straits has been fixed for November 8th and following days. Mr E. H.. Lloyd has been retained a-s counsel for the Bangor Corporation. A GOOD APPOINTMENT.—Mr Dan Jones, late principal tenor at Bangor and Exeter Cathedrals, has been unanimously elected by the provost, precentor, and senior fellows of Trinity College, Dublin, to a life appointment at the College Chapel of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin. Mr Dan Jones is well known in North Wales musical circles.

HOME TEACHING SOCIETY FOR THE BLIND.-The annual meeting of the above society was held on Thursday at the Queeai's Head Cafe, the Dean of Bangor presiding. The annual report showed that the financial posnuion of the society was satisfactory, but there had been a falling off in donations which had not been bal- anced by new subscribers. The number of blind in the district was now 204. Sub- scription received amounted to B67 and donations to JE78, and there was a balance in hand of JE62 On the motion of the Mayor (Alderman Langford Jones) the reports and 'financial statements were adopted. The committee and officers were re-elected, with the addition of Mrs Williams Ellis and Mr E. A. Young to the general committee, and Mrs W. A. Darbdslmre to the executive committee. MUNICIPAL ELECTION.—A compro- mise was on Tuesday arranged whereby a contest is avoided, and the political status, both parties being equally balanced, remains unchanged. Alderman Langford Jones (C.) is to retain the mayoralty a second year; Aldermen T. Lewis (L.), and D. Cameron (L.), are to be re-elected for a second term of three years, and Colonel Savage is to suc- ceed to the vacancy caused by the disquali- fication, owing to non-residence, of Mr T. C. Lewis. The elevation of Colonel Savage creates a vacancy in the North, or Upper Bangor Ward, wh'ch lie has represented .since the incorporation of the counu'l. The Con- servatives are willing that this should be filled by a Liberal, and the choice rests be- tween Mr Glynne Jones, a former member of the council, and Mr Wickens. In the Hirael Ward, Mr Foster (C.) succeeds Mr D. Williams (C.), who, on tli3 same grounds as those assigned to Mr T. C. Lewis, cannot seek re-elect(.on. W hetlier the arrangement will be carried into effect seems uncertain, as some Liberals insist that Mr Glynne Jones should be selected for the North Ward.
