LLEYN AND EJLVION NOTES Why shiould Pcatmadoc be so quiet dlurmg Eiaistertide? The question is being a.skedi omoe more oil all hands. 'Business is at a stand still; (but no provision whatever is miaid'e towards en- terttaining or edevatfing the people. At other towns, preacTi'ing' meetings, musical festival's, slwws. Eisteddfodau, etc., compete for tihe ex- ploitation of the Holidays. But so far as Easter is concerned, Portimadoc is content, so to spuak, to take a seat behind the back door. Wlhat- has become of thei Chamber of Oam- ineirce o.r Mercantile Associatkxn whiich was furmed not soi long ago with a flourish' of trutm- piet-s? Stome. of us thought at first that this or- ganisation was about to perform wondletrs in the 'Way of promoting trade and commieroe. 'But what has been. dœ1e? Rather let me ask, Has amtftihlilng been done? I am sadly afraid that the organisation fell stillborn. But if it is still aOlilve and able to toddllie, I hope to catch sight of it before long. < < The true and staunch friends of .progress and reform are very few, wihen a real test is ap- plied. The energy of our townsmm seems at present to be absorbed by athletSicism. In this dlepaitiment, Porttmadoc ranks high, so far als North Wales jn concerned'. it • • The aninuul show at Pbrtmadoc iis fast ap- p/noachliing. As a rule, muw good1 work is done in ordter to secure the success of the event; and I hope that the success of the past miay be repeated tlh\i5 year. I fear, however, that a cer- tain slackness has set in; and that the show1 is not so wtell backed up as it miiglit be by tlh'oise ■wiho derive sipetcilal advantages from; it. I am not referring at all to the committee atnd the officeirs, most of whom deserve high praise for •tihteir aissidnuty. » » » Anglers were busily engaged on the banks off the Gloslyn and lessor local streams, during tihe holidays; but owing to the (.<IOiJJd: weather, the sport wa's poor. Many Portmadioiciites were seen wasQiing their worms up beyond Beddgelert; wiliile others were heard wundering thsrouigih the Codliiseoim, at Rome, medlitlating OBX the gretatfluesis I (Of, the Caesars. I hope they all enjoyed' the vocation, At N'evin. an enlfhusataKtao political meeting, addressed byMT Lloyd-Gteorge; at Plwllihteili. sports; and at Criwcietih, the Capel iMfaiWr Eisteddfod offered Easter divetrsatoms to please most testes. At Criccileltlli', the geniiial micinber for Merioneth presided'; and the con- ductorsibip was in the capable liaandk of the poly- ctathediric bard, Dry Mir. I understand that the prooeied'in.gs were very successful. wmt ougftilt to be the real object of a sem-ietf of lectures, sudh as the GiMirfet lectures? Cer- tain gentlemen at Por'tamdoc seem to think that tahiety sliould1 aim primlairfily not at miemtal culture, effected by means of the language best undter- istoood by the townsmen, but at the suppressiilm of the naltiive llangfu'age. Of course, there is a. spacious pLea, off "advantage" of some sort, ne!arly • always pecuniary. The pleai is based on a. pro- f found mistake. The partis of Wales Whiefre tlte I Native langiuage has dliisiaippetoedl are notorious'ly the pairts where morals, eduoaitiOlnl energy, iind- Sctoija! progress ajrie at the lowest point. In most IlÐnglå.Sh towns, it woiild be conceded by an v (education commlit'tee that it would be a grcJt, advantage to young people to laarn French.But a proposal to organise a series of public lettures am French would be scouted as absurd. Wihy should Portmiadioc W.elIshmen pay such heed to D. S. D. ? It is ai great mistake to suppose t'liat lie is a near relative of £ s. d.

OUR LOST LEXICOGRAPHER. 'Good work persistently performed compels recognition. Wales does not possess many scholars of the Teutonic type—men who devote a. lifetime to do a piece of work in such a "grundlich und wissensehaftlich' manner that it never needs doing over again. iBut. happily, we are not without a few; and of them, Chan- cellor Silvan Evans, D.Litt., was the chief. (According to Kilsby, he was the only Congrega- tionalist who ever 'verted to the Established Church leaving the former sect poorer. That may or may not be. Silvan Evans was, how- ever, not a man for any sect-whether established or unestablished—'but for the nation; and it was to serve his own nation that he devoted his life. Having been born in Cardiganshire eighty-five years ago. he was educated first at the famous iNeuaddlwyd Academy, and afterwards at Lam- peter College. He held curacies in Lleyn—■fir.st at Penllech, and next at Llandegwning for fourteen years. Afterwards, he obtained in succession the livings of (Llan-ym-Mawddwy and Llanwrin, where, we understand, he did good work as a clergyman. tHlis devotion to Welsh literature was, however, a distinct hindrance to his promotion in what is sometimes ironically called the Church of Wales. (Bishop Campbell, of Bangor, to put it mildly, was no lover of Welsh literature. iWhen 'Bishop tLloyd succeeded to the iSee, 'he lost no time in making some slight amends to the patient scholar. It is a. wonder that in spite of the discouragement, almost lifelong, b" his 'superiors, he was able to accomplish so much. Dr Silvan lEvians wrote ia igreat deal -of prose and verse—much of ait excellent in quality, a book of folklore (being (particularly racy 'and interesting. Ne compiled hymnbooks, he edited 'and translated many standard works, and ihe edited a first-rate literary magazine. But j above all he :W1as a lexicographer. Over forty I years ago he (compiled 'an English-Welsh and Welsh-English dictionary tin two thick octavo volumes. It was then much needed, and is still highly appreciated. It (Was issued by the late Thomas Gee, IWhosold oveT two thousand copies, though it'he 'price was albout two pound's. There was a lively squabble between com- piler and (publisher however; .for the latter had insisted on keeping tihe work within certain: size limits, and had put one of (his assistants— iGweirydd ap tRihys, :prolhably-to "cut down the copy." The anger of the (lexicographer against the "Calerafts of 'Denbigh" knew no bounds! Though not 'perfect, the dictionary possesses high merits. iTt was the .work of ten years. In 1896, when the departed scholar 'was approach- ing his 80th year, heoommeruced to publish his "magnum IOPUS," ia historical Welsh Dictionary, more or less on the model of '.Dr Murray's gigantic work. In (compiling this work, Dr Evans had scarcely any help beyond .what was corded by his devoted son, who has tgiven up many years to the enterprise. The late Lady Llanover, with ichara'cteiristic (generosity and patriotism, subsidised the publication very handsomely. When she died, there was 'a hiftch Ibu't 'a CiviC iList Orant .was secured, and a com- mittee of scholars undertook to make .suitable I' arrangements for the publication off the (remain- der of (the work. Dr iSilvam Evans himseSf ¡ sltrongly desired that the work should ihave ibeen published on a !more democratic 'and com- mercial basis, for he had great (faith in 'his countrymen that they -would support iliiis efforts if they .were properly appe-aled fto. We trust that the .publication Iwill 'forthwith be pushed forward. That will be by far the lbest memorial to the ilii'ework of lour great lexicographer. Wales is much the 'poorer for the loss of him. As 'Mr Lloyd-George iwell (remarked at New- town, we want many more men of such per- sistent devoitiiion to (great tasks for the benefit of the nation.

BETHESDA. CONCERTS.—The Penrhyn Choirs gave fine- concerts on Tuesday and. Wednesday evenings at Carmel and Treflys. At Carmel, Mr D. G. Davies, solicitor, conducted the entertainment, and Dr Lumley Roberts presided at Treflys. The choirs return to their work on tour on. Saturday. "CYMANFA."—The Congregationalists held their annual Easter "Cymanfa, when the fol- lowing ministers officiated —Rievs (W. James, lowing ministers oniciated —Rievs (W. James, Swansea; D. J. Williams, St. Clears; T E. Thomas, Coedpoeth J. D. Jones, Abercanaid T. J. Morgan, Pontardulais; J. Dyfnallt Owen, Ebenezer D. Ffrwdwen Lewis, Trefor and Rj Thomas, Landore. QUIETNESS REIGNS.-IHad it not been for' the three rowdies from a distance, who made a. part of Monday night hideious, the holiday would have passed without a solitary instance of mis- behaviour. Monday morning and evening was given over to divine service, and the afternoon to the dignified and mass meeting of quarrymen. The inhabitants are .indignant because strangers disgraced themselves. (DISORDERLY CONDUCT. — At a special police court, on Tuesday, at tBangor, before T. Lewis, Esq., and W. Pughe, Esq., three young men, named Rt. Williams, J. W Jones and Ellis W. Owen, residing a.t JDbenerer, were charged with being drunk and disorderly at Bethesda"on Easter Monday.—They were each fined JSl and costs, and Mr Thomas Lewis severely admon- ished them, observing- that they, beiner outsiders had committed a serious act, considering the state of aEa-irs in the Betheada. district, conse- quent upon the strike.
