Though the collection of white wyandottes was the best ever seen, it is understood that the Woodlands ockerel would have a still higher place were it not for the fact that he had started to moult.

A MYSTERIOUS ACCIDENT.—A mysterious accident has befallen Mr. Robert Williams, brother of Mrs. Roberts, of the Emu Restaur- ant. Early on Saturday morning, he was exer- cising a horse which he was breaking in for Mr. M. Roberts, Llwydfaen, on the .main road, a little above the Llangelynin Rectory, and shortly before ten o'clock he was found on the road side llnconsiCIiJaus and badly cut and bruised about the head. He was discovered in this serious condition by the driver of one of the Anglo-American oil vans, and with the most commendable despatch- he conveyed the injured man down to Dr. R. Arthur-Prichar,d's -surgery. 'Here he received the best of attention by Dr. Prichard himself, the cuts necessitating several stitches, and was afterwards taken to his sis- ter's house, where he now lies in a convalescent state. Curiously enough Mr. Williams cannot make out how he came by the accident •. all he remembers is that a motor just before had frightened his horse. We trust that Mr. Wil- liams will make a speedy recovery. "CHILDREN'S SUNDAY."—Next Sunday will be "Children's Sunday" at the Soar Wes- leyan Mission Chapel, Gyffin. Children's!

MOTOR AND TRAP COLLISION.-The foot of ,the Gyffin Hill was the scene, on Sun- day afternoon of yet another accident. Mr. Ra. bertis, The Bedol, along with a friend, had only just turned a corner, in a trap, to ascend, when they were met by a hired motor-car from Llan- dudno, and a collision took place. The tr,ap was badly crushed, both shafts being broken, and the horse turned completely round and bolted. Fortunately, the occupants of the trap -escaped unhurt, and the horse was soon after- wards captured by Mr. Williams (manager for Messrs. H. & J. Thomas), who was on his way to Gyffin from Conway. Supt. Rees was in the vicinity at the time, and we understand had a consultation with the parties concerned. LLINOS CONWY."—Her many musical friends in the town have arranged a capital pro- gramme for Miss Jennie, Jones' benefit concert. Considering that "LIinos Conwy" has been the "star artist" of so many performanceis in aid of others, it is not surprising, now that she herself is in need of a helping hand, that her case is being taken up with such general sympathy and enthusiasm. The concert takes place on Tues- day next (the 22nd), when a packed house is anticipated. FIRE BRIGADE.—Orders for week ending Oct. 28th Station Duty, Firemen William Parry and Robert Evans; Officer on duty, Lieutenant O. Williams. F. A. Delamotte (Chief Officer).

YOUNG MILITIAMEN IN TROUBLE.—Mr Justice Sutton presided on Monday at the Carnar- vonshire and Anglesey Assizes, which were held at Carnarvon. Henry Howard (19), James M'Ardle (17), T. H. Eastwood (r8), and Edward Eastham (17), pleaded guilty to stealing a lamb, the property of Robert Edwards, from Conway Marsh during last summer, and the three first-named also pleaded guilty to breaking into the Carnarvonshire Golf Club house and stealing therefrom a jacket and some sweaters and boots. Mr R. A. Griffith (instructed by Messrs Marks & Marks) prosecuted, and accord- ing to his statement the accused were members of various battalions which were encamped at Conway last summer. One day the Borough Surveyor of Conway found the men cooking a chop in their tent, and inquiries led to different parts of a sheep being found hidden in a hed. The men at first gave false names, but soon afterwards they ad- mitted the offence. Two i-nititary officers gave the accused a good character, more particularly East- wood and Eastham, who appeared in the dock in uniform. Howard, it transpired, had been pre- viously convicted. Howard was sentenced to two months' imprisonment for each offence, the sen- tences to run concurrently, and each of the others was bound over in his own recognisances.

The Property Market. MESSRS. WM. DEW & SON. Messrs Dew and Son, under instructions from Mrs Holland, of Caerdeon, offered for sale by auction at Harlech, Merionethshire, on Friday, in seventv-six lots, houses, business premises, building sites, and farms situate in or near Harlech. Bidding was brisk, and very few lots were with- drawn. The sales totalled £ 21,000. The Castle Hotel was sold to the lessees, Messrs Sheriff Roberts, for £ 2,500. Lord Harlech bought three farms at £ 5,000. The purchasers of building sites included members of the Royal St. David's Golf Club. The vendor's solicitors were Messrs Breese, Jones, and Casson, Portmadoc. Messrs Wm. Dew & Son, of Llandudno and Bangor, at the Castle Hotel, Conway, on Monday, offered for sale three well-known hotels in the vicinity. These were the North-Western Hotel, Llandudno Junction the Alexandra Hotel, Pen- maenmawr, and the Nantlle Vale Hotel, all the pro- perty of the North Wales Hotel Company. No acceptable bids were made at the auction, but we understand that there was every likelihood of important business being done by private treaty soon after the sale was over. MR. F. J.
