ABERGELE URBAN COUNCIL. MONDAY—Mr Thomas Williams presiding. THE LAND DISPUTE.—The committee also considered the report of Mr Pritchard, of Ban- gor, as to the value of the land in Water-street and Pentremawr-road respectively, required .or the widening of the Avenue.-Ultimately, or. the motion of Mr Thomas, seconded bv Mr W liliams, it was decided to offer the Rev J. Jor.dj-Bate- man 3s per yard for the land required, such price to include the timber on the land required, such price to include the timber on the land to be taken —Upon consideration of the Rev Jones- Bateman's restrictions, the clerk was instructed to sav that the council would erect a, boundary wall 3ft. hieh, to be surmounted by unclimp.ble iron railings 2ft, 6in. high, and would preserve the present approaches to the land. Further, the council would preserve all trees that were t)rnamental.-An amended offer by the represen- tatives of the late Mr Boot with respect to the land needed near the station was considered, and the clerk was instructed to accept the same. TEAM LABOUR. The Clerk (Mr E. A. Crabbe) reported that the cost of team labour I' for the past vear for the various purposes of toe council was £ 85.—Mr Perkins said taey could iave maintained their own horse and man iOi that monev, and have been much better served. He 'a,e notice of his intention to move at 1he next meeting that the council purchase a norse and cart, and acquire a yard for their use. AN ALLEGED (NUISANCE.— Some discus- ition oecurred with reference to a fountain and water-trough in Market-street., which was al- leged to be a nuisance to the neighbourhood.— JtVas explained that the fountain was the gift of a lady, who required that it should be kept lliuEplied with water to quench the thirst of cattle, horses, &c.-A-lr Thomas Evans moved fchat the fountain be removed to PeTisarri.-In seconding this, 'Mr Pierce Davies statsd thait he lived near this watering-place, and found it was j 6 grea)t source of nuisance. When pressed to I explain what constituted the grounds of his ob- jection, he said the children played m the water Ind splashed it all about. Dr Wolstenholme said the Pensarn people would be glad to have it; it could be placed on the roadside near tne station, and would be a great boon to cattle, station, and would be a great boon to cattle, Sc.. being driven to the cattle docks, also to the horses of vehicles going to the station. Dr Wolstenholme added that he had no doubt they could obtain the donor's approval of the change. -The proposition was carried. GATES, v. STILES.—It was reported that the Abergele Rural Parish Council had placed wicket-ga-tes on the Ty Cadw and the Tany- goppa. footpaths. Through their clerk (Mr E. H. Millward), they now approached the urban council with the request that the good work of abolishino- the inconvenient stiles on these paths should be completed by the latter authority erecting wicket-gates in lieu of the stiles m their district" Mr J. Pierce said the parish council bad acted very wisely in making the approache's through the fields to the upland portions of the district suitable for people of all ages to travel upon. He moved that the request of the parish council be accdcd to.—This Dr Wolstenholme seconded, and it was carried.

RECREATION GROUND FOR LLANDUDNO.
RECREATION GROUND FOR LLANDUDNO. FORMATION OF A NEW CLUB. At the Marine Hotel, on Monday evening, a meeting was held, with the view to considering the 'advisability of forming a sports club. It was convened by Dr T. V. Lockhart Mure, Dr E. R. Woodhouse, Mr S. L. Pemberton-Pigott, and Mr W. P. Elias, who formed a preliminary omnrittee. There was a numerous attendance of residents, and Dr Woodhouse, who was elected chairman, stated that the four persons named on the circular had been engaged, on be- half of Mr A. Firth, during the winter in getting a sports' ground in order. The enterprise ori- ginated in the suggestion' of Mr Firth, that it would be a good thing if they could get the cricket ground of Llandudno, and lay it out with pitches, tracks, etc.. calling it the Llandudno Athletic Club Ground, and opening it to anyone who cared to join. Here, various sports could be run, such as cricket, hockey, lawn tennis, croquet, quoits, bowling, etc., according to the support given. A pavilion would have been eventually built, ana probably a racing track would have been formed all round. In ten days, JB500 had been promised towards the ex- penses, -if the scheme could be carried through. Unfortunately, they could not come to terms with Lord Most-yn, who wanted to bind them down to spend a thousand pounds on the ground, while he reserved the right of putting a road through it at any time during the lease. Those coiHutions were out of the question. Mr Firth then interviewed the Craigydon Land Company, and arranged to take from them a piece of land, several acres in extent, on, their estate at a rent of £ 15 a year. They "agreed to spend L300 in draining the land, planting trees 'and shrubs round it, etc., while Mr Firth agreed to pay 10 per cent. per annum on their outlay, in return for a lease of ten years. That seemed a reason- I able arrangement. But, unfortunately, Mr I Firth a'b,out, that time purchased a house at Clapham, and left Llandudno. If he had stayed in the town, there would have been no need to call that meeting, as he would have seen the scheme through. However, on his behalf, suffi- cient of the 'ground had been well laid out to form six tennis courts, and' all the expense had been borne, or would be bornne, by Mr Firth, who had paid, or would pay, out of pocket L150 which included the hoarding, and the tennis nets, and other apparatus. Mr Firth was in hopes that the Llandudno people would take the ground off his hands as a going concern, but, at the same time, he would be happy to give a donation of L10 and a yearly subscription of five pounds (applause). The idei was, that the ground should be worked 'by a sports' club, to include any sport or game that would be played on that ground. It was calculated that the tennis court receipts would amount to about L40 a year, and that JB120 a year would pay all the expenses, so that 50 or 60 members at a guinea. would make the ground self-supporting. That meeting was called with the'object of feeling the pulse of the town on the subject. There could be no denying the fact that something more was required to entertain the visitors, and this would! be a source of considerable pleasure to large classes of the visitors, as well as to the residents themselves (applause).—Letters from Mr E. E. Bone, Mr J. L. Mavger, and others, were read, approving of the scheme.—On the motion of Mr R. Conway, it was unani- mously resolved that a club be formed, to be called "The Llandudno Recreation dub," to take over the Craigydon ground.—-Dr Woocbhouse was elected chairman, Mr A. G. Pugh hon. secretary^ elected chairman, Mr A. G. Pugh hon. secretait, Mr Pember ton-Pigott hon. treasurer, and Messrs Edmondson, Haworth, Alexander Taylor, and Walter Jones, and Dr Lockhart Mure, an exe- cutive committee, the general committee being composed of all the gentlemen present, and those who had written giving their approval to the proposal, the committee to 'have power to add to their nu.mber.Lord Mostyn was invited to act as 'president, and a number of vice-presidents were also nominated.
LLANDUDNO PIER CONCERTS.
LLANDUDNO PIER CONCERTS. INCREASING IN POPULARITY. Before we proceed to make any comments on these concerts, it is only due to Mr Nelson Jack- son, the popular humorist, who took part last week, to make a short explanation. It will be remembered that we stated that Mr Jackson was always good and invariably interesting, "but that a little novelty would be welcomed." It appears that the humorist introduced three of his latest songs on Monday evening, and which had never been sung in Llandudno before. It is also interesting to add that Mr Jackson has taken to reciting, and that he does it extremely well. The fourth grand special concert on Saturday evening was again the scene of a large and enthusiastic audience. The vocalists were Madame Belle Cole and Miss Emily Squire. Both names are well-known and popular with concert-going people in all parts of the country, but in no town is Madame Belle Cole better re- ceived and her singing more appreciated. Verdi's song "O Don Fatale (Don Carlos) was her first item. The music was just the range for her voice, and difficult as the song proved to be, the vocalist did it full justice, and an encore was warmly demanded, to which Madame Belle Cole acceded. In the second part- of the programme she rendered Lane's song "Story Time," in capital form and voice, and once more had to satisfy the audience with another ditty. A third would have been welcomed. Miss Emily Squire has a powerful voice. Her renderings of W. H. Squire's song "Love's Reverie," and Clay's "She wandered down the mountain side," were very creditable, and elicited a recall on both I occasions. "Concerto in G. Minor," was the selection played by the violin and orchestra. Mr ) Frederic Seigl manipulated the violin in a most masterly manner, the three movements, allegro moderato, adagio, and finale being exquisitely rendered. The other orchestral selection that deserves special mention was Powell's character- istic piece entitled "A Black Boy's Frolic." In connection with this characteristic selection, we cannot pass over the splendid sand effects so ex- cellently and realistically introduced by Mr Dunn, who, by the way. is an old hand. The remaining orchestral music included two Slavonic dances by Dvorak—one in C., and the second in F. Caryll's selection "The Runaway Girl;" and Weber-Weingartner's invitation a la valse. This well-known favourite was in new guise, many new features being introduced to the arrangement adopted bv Mr Bartle. Handel's recit and air, "Angels ever Bright and Fair," and the air, "Let the Bright Seraphim" (Samson), were the songs selected by Miss Emily Squire for the sacred concert on Sunday night. The artistes' did full justice to both. "Edward German th-- popular Welsh composer, whose real name is Jones-figured on the programme with two orchestral selections. The first was the movements from "Gipsy Queen," and se- condly, the march, entitled "Coronation." Wagner's vorspiel to "Tristan and Isolde;" Gluckmottle's suite-I. Menuet (Orpheus).; 2, Musette (Armide); 3, Air Gai (Iphigime), Sicilienne (Armide), Air gai; and a serenade by Gounod, were the remaining selections. It should have been stated that it was Mr J. Valk that played the trumpet obligate to the air "Let the Bright Seraphim." There was a very large and appreciative audience in attendance. The chief feature of Monday night's concert was the selection "Concerto in B. flat Minor" (Tschaikowski), by Mr Bartle on the piano, who was accompanied by the orchestra. Miss Emily Squire was in better voice, than on the previous occasions. Her songs "Should he upbraid" (Bishop), and Tosti's "Good Bye," were rendered more clearly, while her voice was much more in sympathy with the music. Kerker's "The Belle of New York," wa,s the leading orchestral piece played by the band. Two items on Tuesday night's programme were the cello solo by Mr Johan C. Hock, and piccolo solo by Mr A. H. Wood. Both were I really a treat. "In Cupid's Garden," and "Poor Wandering One," were the songs rendered by Miss Squire. By request Weber-Weingartner's invitation a la vale, was reproduced by the orchestra. Mackenzie's rhapsody on Scotch airs entitled "Burns." which introduced "Corn Pigs "Braw Lads o'Gala Water;" and "There was a lad born in Kyle," were beautifully ren- dered. Meyer Helmund's serenade "Rococo;" Sydney Jones's selection "The Gheisha," and Volstetd's humorous valse entitled "Lustige Bruder," concluded the orchestral portion of the programme. The remaining programme for the week were of a. popular character and such that could but be appreciated. Madame Conway, soprano, and Mr Douglas Powell, baritone, will be the vocal- ists at the fifth special concert on Saturday evening. J
UNIVERSITY COT-LEGE OFI NORTH…
UNIVERSITY COT-LEGE OF NORTH TV ALES. CLOSING CEREMONY." On Friday afternoon, the annual function known as the "Closing Ceremony." took place at the Assembly Hall of the University College of North Wales. Mr H. Bulkeley Price, chair- man of the council, presided over the large gathering of students, members of the council, &c. • The Chairman, in his opening remarks, said that. he found himself in that too conspicuous position owing to the much regretted absence of the president, Mr Rathbone. Principal Reichel then read his report of the work of the session, and remarked that it had been an unusually eventful one. There had. been considerable changes in the staff, the electrical engineer's department had been re-organised, and a new technical department in mining had been proposed. There had been a great increase in the number of these studying for their degrees. Last year, the number who qualified themselves in this direction, was 21; this year of all succeeded, the number would be 40 for the B.A. degree, and 1.4 for the B.Sc. degree. The one feature which was less satisfactory was I the falling off in the proportion of science candi- dates among the new students, which seemed to indicate a. tendency among the North Wales Schools to devote mainly to arts subjects. When it was remembered that those who pursued the arts course alone were almost -T necessarily limited in their choice of a career to the literary professions, WLich were already overstocked, while large fields of work still lay open in various industries for which a sound scientific training was a primary condition of success, it would be seen that the fact he had s' mentioned should give food for reflection to the governing bodies of the new schools, and the parents of the pupils trained in them. The Principal referred to the loss which the College had sustained through the appointment of Dr Andrew Gray to the chair of Physics at Glasgow, in succession to his old teacher, Lord Kelvin, and to various other changes in the staff, including the appointment of Dr Taylor Jones to the chair of Physics vacated by Dr Gray. He also referred to the generous action of the Drapers' Company, in making a grant of L600 to assist in the carrying on of the electrical engineering department. With regard to the application of the conference held at Festiniog to the court of governors for the establishment ot a school of mines at Bangor, the Principal remarked that the court had given a favourable answer to the deputation, and had made arrange- ments for the holding of a, conference of County Councils, local technical authorities, owners and managers of mines and quarries, and all those likely to be interested in such a scheme. This conference would be held at Rhyl in September. The question of the new site and buildings for the college had been in the fore- front, and the municipal authorities of Bangor had met the college in a most friendly spirit, to discuss the question. The Principal lastly men- tioned the establishment of a students' volunteer corps last October. The company was already over a 100 strong, officered by members of the staff, and the major part were shortly godng into camp for a month. Professor Lloyd, the registrar, read the list of awards of honours certificates on the work of the session 1899-1900. Below will be found the names of those who passed in the first- class Greek.

DEUDRAETH COUNCIL. TUESDAY. -Present, Mr W. Jones, J.P. (chairman), Messrs R. Richards (vice-chairman), Thcmas Davies, Richard Roberts, J. P. Roberts, Thomas Roberts (clerk), D. Jones (assistant clerk), and Thomas Jones (sanitary inspector). LETTERS.—Several letters from the Local Government Board were read, amongst them being one which recommended the payment every half yearly of the sum on account of the Agricultural Ratings Act.—This was adopted.— The same authority also requested the payment of £7 19s lid due on the loan which was made on account of the Penrhyn drainage scheme.— This was carried. TAXING THE CYCLES.-The chairman was in favour of the suggestion to tax cyclists, and of taking steps to pass a measure in Parlia- ment to this effect.—This was s.Iso the view taken by Mr R. Pritchard, the vice-chairman, and Mr J. P. Roberts.—The council passed a resolution to this effect. COMPLAINTS.—It was resolved to ask a firm to draw out a scheme for the drainage of the Penrhyn.-A number of letters were read from the parish council, complaining of the insanitary nature of the locality. These com- plaints had been drawn up by the clerk (Mr J. Jones).—A similar complaint from Talsarnau was read.—The surveyor (Mr Thomas Jones) was deputed to take steps to attend to both matters. SANITARY EXPENSES. Mr J. H. Thomas, on behalf of the Carnarvonshire Sanitary Committee, wrote notifying the salary due to Dr Fraser annually.—This was R28 from this council, and R15 from the Glaslyn Council. VITAL STATISTICS. The number of births registered in the course of the month was 14, and the deaths, 16. There were two cases of infectious diseases. THE DAIRIES' ACT.-Mr Roberts, the clerk, had made inquiries regarding the above, in accordance with the request of the council, and it was resolved that he should send a copy of the Act to each one of the members for their further consideration. THE DRAINAGE OF HARLECH.—The question of the appointment of a successor to the late Messrs Thomas Roberts and Son in the work of carrying out the above undertaking was considered. A scheme for the work had been drawn out by the above firm, and this was in the possession of their successors.—It was re- solved, on the motion of Mr R. Richards, seconded by Mr Richard Roberts, that the clerk should communicate with the above firm on the question of their proceeding with the work if the terms are satisfnetorv. THE DRAINAGE OF TRAWSFYNYDD. -Dr Fraser had, in accordance with the re- quest of the council, visited Trawsfynydd and considered the application of Dr Humphreys with regard to the joining of a drain belonging to him to the main pipes.—His report was a favourable one, and on the motion of Mr Thos. Davies, seconded by Mr J. P. Roberts, the request was granted. THE SANITATION OF PENRHYN. — The surveyor had, at the request of the council, drawn out a report expressing his opinions and his suggestions with regard to the best means of remedying the complaint made by Mr R. Roberts about the sanitary state of a part of the Penrhyn district. There were about forty houses in the district and he recommended a scheme for the improvement of matters there.- In reply to Mr Thomas Davies, he said that the cost of carrying this out would be on the shoulders of this council.—The Surveyor re- marked that this was the only part w)- :ch was not in connection with the drainage scheme. He suggested that a committee be appointed to discuss the matter further. He said 'that the upper parts of the Penrhyn up to Penlan had already been connected with the main drain.— In reply to the chairman, Mr J. P. Roberts re- marked that it was a matter which deserved the attention of this council and the parish council in committee.—Mr Thomas Davies moved that the matter be entrusted to a committee from the Penrhyn, the parish council, &c., and that reports be drawn up again, but he remarked that if the work was to be carried out effectually and thoroughly, a further loan should be obtained. Mr R. Richards supported Mr Thomas Davies's motion, and spcke in favour of deputing the surveyor and Mr J. P. Roberts to meet a committee from the Penrhyn council to discuss matters.—This was agreed to. THE SURVEYOR'S REPORT.—The Sur- veyor reported that he had made an agreement with Mr Thomas Williams, Beddygwyn, to cart off the rubbish from Minffordd, up to the end of the year. He also referred to the unsatisfactorv state of a number of houses in the Penrhyn with regard to their sanitary arrangements, and suggested that the owners be warned to take steps for the remedying of this important question.—It was resolved that the surveyor should communicate with the houseowners on the subject. ROAD MAINTENANCE.—The expenses in connection with the above amounted to £ 48. These were passed. The balance at the bank in favour of the council was reported to be R140. —It was asked whether a mineral works at Cwm Mawr, Llanbedr, had contributed towards the expenses of road maintenance, and it was resolved, on an answer in the negative being obtained, to request that such a payment be made. WASTE LAND.—A request was made from a certain person for permission to build a house on a piece of waste ground.—As he had land of his own, it was remarked that if he wanted land from the council he should pay rent for the same.

CRUELTY CASES AT CAR-\ NARVON.
CRUELTY CASES AT CAR- NARVON. A PITIFUL TALE. On Monday, at the Carnarvon Petty Sessions, before the Mayor (Alderman W. J. Williams) I and other magistrates, Hugh and Ann Edwards, Baptist-street. were summoned by the S P C C for neglecting their children, and I Ann Edwards, was further summoned for ill- treating her child. 13 years of ^ge- -™1' Roberts prosecuted, and Mr M. E. Nee de- fended. No evidence was given on the first charge, and the summons was dismissed. Mr Richard Roberts, solicitor, swore that on the 24th of May, as he was going up Pool-street, he heard somebody moaning, and just opposite Bantist-street, there was a crowd of people, who were crying out "She is sure to kill her, the poor little thing." Witness stopped and saw the de- fendant, who seemed mad with rage, and had the tittle girl's hair in her hand and dragged her by the hair into the house. He felt his blood boil- ing. and followed her to the house. There she was beating and beating the child about the face. He told her she must not abuse the child, who was bleeding profusely from the face. He asked an officer to come in, and he saw the child's pinafore covered with blood. Later on, they met Inspector Rowlands, and told him what had taken place. Cross-examined, Mr Roberts said that the lefendant held the child's hair with her left hand and beat her about the face with the right fist. She also thumped the poor girl and knocked her head against the wall. It was about the cruellest beating he ever saw a child subjected to. The woman seemed to have quite lost control of her temper. P.C. Watkin Jones said that the reason the mother gave for beating the child was that she had refused to take her father's tea home. Inspector Rowlands, N.S.P.C.C., deposed that he had called in the house later, but the child was not there. He subsequently saw the child on the street, her arms and hands covered with blood, and her pinafore saturated with blood. In addition to this, the child was very dirty and her clothes filthy. In cross-examination, the witness said that he had questioned the girl, who at first denied that her mother had beaten her, and said that she had knocked her nose against the wall. Dr Evans, swore that the girl had been much neglected—much more so than the other chil- dren. and the neglect and suffering she had been I subjected to was likely to injure her health. Mr Nee, in addressing the court, said that no [ information had been given relative to the two younger children. The second summons was entirely unnecessary and ought to be dismissed. On this day, the mother asked the child to take her father's tea to the "Christiana" warehouse, but she refused and ran out, defying her mother. As a matter of fact, the child had become quite uncontrollable, and the mother could do nothing with her, and she often played truant. A neigh- bour, who was on the scene, caught the child for the mother, and the latter caught her by the I neck, and not by the hair, as had been said. The child saw the blood and began to scream, and it was that screaming which attracted the notice of Mr Richard Roberts. Ann Inwards, the defendant. was then) called, and said that the child had refused to take her father's tea, and ran out of the house, saying she wanted to play. A neighbour caught her and she (defendant) took hold of her bv the neck, and struck her twice with her hand on the nose. She did not drag her in by the hair, nor did she beat her in the house. She had had a great deal of trouble with the child, and she was kept as well as the other children. Ann Furlow said that she saw the child mak- ing grimaces at her mother. Witness's hus- band caught the child, who began to scream be- fore her mother came. The mother only struck the child twice. She had never seen the mother strike the child on the nose before. The summons for the neglect against the father and mother-was dismissed, and the mother was fined 2s 6d and costs for the assault. The next case was against William Roberts, Chapel-street, who was summoned by the society for neglecting his children, and his wife sought a separation order. Mr J. T. Roberts prosecuted. Caroline Roberts, the defendant's wife, said that her husband was a labourer, and could earn 18s. a week when at work. He seldom gave her any of his wages. Witness said that when she married him she had saved a considerable sum of money, and after furnishing the house, she had L30 left. Her husband spent all that in six months, and during the past year had given her very little wages. She had often been without food in the house. A little baby was born at the end of May, but she had no money. Her husband had earned six shillings that week. On one occasion he brought two women to the house, and she was turned out of the only bed they had, and had to remain on a chair all night. A babv was born the following morning. Her husband spent all his money in drink, and the furniture and her wedding ring had been pawned. Inspector Rowlands said that he had visited the house, when the baby was nine days' old. There was no food in the house, but he saw the defendant later on the day drunk in the street. Catherine Ann Cruncorn, a sister to the com- plainant, corroborated the wife's evidence, and said that she had never seen plenty of food in the house. During her last confinement, witness had to bring food for her sister. Defendant, who said he could not find work, was sent to prison for three months' with hard labour. Then a separation order would come into force, and the defendant would have to con- tribute 7s 6d a week for the maintenance of his wife and children.

MR BERIAH EVANS AND THEI METHODISTS.)
MR BERIAH EVANS AND THE I METHODISTS. ) SLANGED AND PRAISED. SOME ANONYMOUS LETTERS. MORE TO SAY ABOUT HOWEL HARRIS. Mr Beriah Gwynfe Evans's book, "Diwygwyr I Cymru," has earned for itself such a reputation —it has been thoroughly well cursed by some people, and equally highly praised by others— that a "Herald" representative made up his mind to interview the author of the book, and glean his opinion of the views of others. He found .b. his opinion, of the views of others. He found Beriah in his den 12,t Penvbryn, literally buried in manuscripts. Busy though he was, "he readily consented to place a quarter of an hour at my disposal," says the interviewer, "and, in order not to waste any valuable time. imme- diately I plunged into the subject, and asked bluntly how the book had been received, and what was the 'general opinion as to its merits." Mr Evans replied: "Opinion among Method- ists is more or less divided as to the merits of the book. The more bigoted, those to whom Methodism is more important than truth, con- demn the book in toto. 'The more liberal-minded among them, on the other hand, recognise and admit that I have rendered a public service bv bringing out the book." bringing out the book." "And can you give specific instances of each class?" I ventured. "Oh, yes," came the ready reply, and turning to a large heap of correspondence on the table, he picked up two or three. "Here," said he, handing me a postcard, "is a good specimen of the first class." It was a virulent personal attack upon Mr Evans, winding up thus "How could you have the impudence to go to Trevecca, and nio^ioubt partake of the hospitality of the professors, for the express purpose of trying to find some flaw in the character of Howel Harris, passes the comprehension of any honest man. I presume that you are under the impression that the law of libel cannot touch you. There may be some of Howel Harris's friends still living who will cause vou a rude awakening." awakening." "But," said 1. noticing the postcard bore only the signature "Hen Fethodist," "this is anon- ymous?" "Yes, fortunately for the writer," came the grim reply. "That kind of argument generally is anonymous as, for instance, the other Methodist, who reviews the book in much the same spirit in the 'Herald Cvmraeg. "But this is not the common attitude of "But this is not the common attitude of CalViMstic Methodists?" I Queried. -fortunately, for the credit of Calvinistic Methodism, it is not. Here, for instance, is a review in the 'Baner,' a paper which is a stronger power even than the 'Goleuad' itself in Welsh Methodist circl.es,-a review written, a's you will see, admittedlv by a, Methodist, and I one whom I have not the privilege of knowing personally. He says: 'Mr 'Beriah tEivans has placed Welsh Nonconformity under a heavy ob- ligation. So far as we can see, the author has not in a single instance deflected the scales of justice in order to favour his own de- nomination, nor to present any other denomina- tion in an unfavourable light. Though ourselves belonging to a different denomination to the author, we repeat that we have not per- ceived a single instance of unfairness in tihe book. He has performed the part of an impar- tial Mstorian_and for this we thank him.' That is the opinion of a fair,uriprejudiced Methodist. Here is another from what I may call an 'Official Methodist. I took the letter, and saw it was written by ? )Wn and popular Methodist minister, holding a prominent position in the officialdom of that denomination. In it, he said, "I am pleased with the book. My heart's desire is that it may attain its object. Should you be bringing out a further volume, it will give me the grerat- est pleasure to assist in securing for it also the widest circulation." "Here is another," said Mr Evans. This, I saw, was trom a recognised leader of the denomination in his own county, and referred largely to a controversial Dortion of the book, on which he wanted some further information, pending which he suspended judgment on that particular point, and then went on to say —• "Thanking you for the immense pains you have t-ake-ni, and trasting the work may do much good, II notwithstanding a few defects." "Tihose, said Mr Evans, "are fair specimens of enlightened, unprejudiced, broad minded Methodi opinions. Shall I show you more?" I and he hed out his hand to the pile at his side. I "No, thanks," I replied hastily, with visions I of art editorial scowl, and the echo of the sub- editor's growl at a superabundance of copy. But reverting to that postcard. I suppose you a.re aware that a rumour very much to vour dis- credit is 'being sedulously cirenlated in certain Methodist circles?" "It is quite possible," said he, with a smile. "I am growing used to that sorb of thing. What is this particular rumour?" But I was on mv guard. "First, of all," I asked, what of this charge on tihe postcard1 of abusing hospitality ?" abusing hospitality ?" "Pool. Shee^" nonsense, As a matter of fact, I never saw during my visits either of the pro- fessors, though two members of the staff are personal friends of mine. During the many weeks I spent there, I never saw a single mem- ber of the staff, and never ate salt with one of them.' "Come, said I, much relieved. "That ■gives me courage to specify the rumour which was cir- culat.ed to your disadvantage. It is said that before you were allowed to see a single Trevecca MISS., you were asked to pledge yourself that if you discovered anything which would reflect un- favourably upon Howel Harris, you would not arwl that you gave a solemn pledge to that effect." wWh ?VanS a loud, hearty laugh, Mhich resounded from the walls.

Then I understand you have further dis- closures Are they also sensational ?" He shook bis head, as if anxious to avoid a painful question. "You are hunting for 'good' copy," he replied with a smile. Then more gravely, "I have said all I intended saymg. I should be sorry indeed to be compelled, in self-defence, to say more than I have done." «wei? ^ave more say?" I urged. to "k,,1//011 in tJiat ^ay> 1 have more to_s>a.y, but I would rather not say it." of the Methodists aside, I asked, "What stance?" denoiniM'ti0n»-your own, for in- or a section of them, ™ £ £ £ *>* is more of a book than an Independent one.

Some Baptist county as- sociations have adopted it as a Sunday School prize-book, —handing me two or three official letters to that effect. "Thai doesn't seem as if the Baptists have been frightened off by the cry; against it?" T N°>' said he, "and here is a proof that the Independents don't believe I am contaminating the country with moral leprosy." He handed me a printed document. It was the official syllabus of the Sunday School com- ?c £ nee t the Welsh Congregational Union for lyuu I. In the honours' class, (Mr Evans's new work was specified as the official text-book In religious history. Professor 'Anwyl, Aberyst- iryth, was named chief examiner, having under him for each county association 40 to 50 other well-known public men as divisional examiners. Prizes Amounting to R25 were offered for the best papers in the several dpuntv divisions, and medals for the best throughout the country." "That seems a very effective way," I added. "Yes," ihe said, "your Methodist reviewer's fulmlna-tions are not going to put a stop to thp spread of light. Wsdeyars and Churchmen are almost as enthusiastic about the book IS are the the Baptists and the Independents," handing me a number of reviews and letters from publicum en in those bodies. "The accuracy of your historical statements has been called in question." I submitted. "By your anonymous Methodist reviewer, I presume? Well, here is a replT to the charge," and he handed me ia long and closely-writtenfet- ter, for he seemed to be able to submit documen- tary evidence in support of all his assertions. I made the following extracts from this letter: "You have succeeded in throwing a, great deal of new light upon what was supposed to be a threadbare subject. With most of what you say as to the work in Wales Itself, I am in- el'ined to agree. The sale of the book must now be immaterial to you. but I shall consider it a duty to Welsh history to recommend all my friends to get hold of it." This letter was from Professor Lloyd, M.A., who is recognised as second to none as an au- thority on Welsh history. "Is Professor Lloyd right in sajing that the sale is now immaterial to you?" I asked. "No author ever born has yet seen too big a sale for his work," said Mr Evans, "but." and his countenance lit up with enthusiasm, "the sale of this book has been unprecedented. Look here, and here, and here," turning over the pages of his order book. Here are repeat orders over and over again. Agents tell me"they could sell twice as many as they got in their first supply. Had I printed 30,000 instead of 20.000. I could easily have disposed of them. Not a single agent complains. Practicallv, all of them tell the same tal-e-the best and cheapest book ever published in Welsh; subscribers everywhere more than satisfied with the book. Look here." And he showed me a long, apparently endless, list of extracts from a.gents' letters in every county in Wales, and several English towns, all, without exception, speaking in the highest terms of the book, and its reception by the subscribers. It is safe to say that no book ever published in. Wales could show such a roll of spontaneous laudations-and every post swells the psean of praise." "With such a list," said Mr Evans, rubbing his hands gleefully, "I tihdnk I can afford to laugh at your Methodist reviewer's attempts to curse my book—and me." "But why not a, second edition?" I said. "In Welsh or 'English?" asked he, with a smile. "Both," said I, with a sudden Inspiration. "Ah," came the enigmatical reply. "We shall see what Ave shall see." And pocketing my note-book. I shook hands and left, wishing that 1. too, could: secure ia cir- culation of 20,000 for a first edition of my book.
