Notes and News.
Notes and News. Mr. Lloyd George is the minister in attendance on King George this week. Next week will be a record one for Colwyn Bay-it will be an entirely Welsh week. Despite the lateness of the season the prospects of the National Eisteddfod at Colwyn Bay are most encouraging, and pre- parations have been made to welcome a record crowd. The Cymmrodorion meeting on Monday evening next at Colwyn Bay will be pre- sided over by the Hon. Ormesby Gore, who is the youngest Welsh representative in Parliament. Llandrindod is becoming despondent. There have been no Welsh Radical confer- ences at the famous Welsh spa for some time, and it looks as if the whole of our political matters are going to be settled in future at the National Liberal Club in London. The Welsh Liberal Council held a meet- ing at Shrewsbury last week, but the report submitted was a very disappointing one for Welsh nationalism as well as for Liberalism. Now, that the Welsh Party has tied itself to the tail of the English Liberals, the Labour section in South Wales is becoming jubilant. Efforts will be made at the next Labour conference in Wales to give promi- nence to Welsh national questions, and if that is done effectively it is hoped that the party will gain many recruits from the advanced Liberal section. It has been arranged that the Gorsedd in connection with the forthcoming National Eisteddfod at Colwyn Bay shall be held at Flagstaff, the residence of Mr. Whitehead, and not at the field near Rydal Mount, which had been selected. As the distance to the Flagstaff is greater than to the Rydal Mount field, the Gorsedd will commence at 8 a.m., instead of 8.15 a.m. An amusing incident occurred at a special meeting of the Barmouth Council last week. The members were engaged in a warm dis- cussion relative to a motion to cut off the water supply from two or three turbines in use in the town, when just before midnight the gas was mysteriously turned off, and the meeting had to be abandoned. The bardic chair for the Colwyn Bay Eisteddfod this year has been presented to the committee by Messrs. D. Allen & Sons, of Colwyn Bay, and is of exceptionally artistic design, and far superior to anything that has been seen at the Welsh Eisteddfod for many years. The inter-laced work orna- menting the framing of the chair is all based on the well-known Opus Hibernicum so largely used on ancient Celtic crosses. The back is a fine piece of work, the main feature being the Red Dragon, in the design of which many authorities and experts have been requisitioned, so that if there is any- thing more than legend in the refuted national crest, at least we have here a most trustworthy representative. The design and arrangement of the beast are of interest, and the difference between the chair Dragon and the weak-legged gamecock model which appears on the Eisteddfod note-paper is worthy of note. In the lower portion of the back panel is shown the rising sun, and at the top the three-rayed emblem of the Eis- teddfod, inlaid in ivory. Round the panel the various well-known mottos are arranged. At a luncheon after the opening of Pen- coed Water Works on Wednesday, says the Glamorgan Gazette, Mr. W. A. Howell, to illustrate the keenness of Scotchmen, told a good story. A man was in a river apparently drowning. Four men, an Englishman, a Welshman, a Scotchman, and an Irishman were on the bank. The Irishman ran for a spade to make a dam higher up the river to stop the water the Welshman got down on his knees and prayed; the Englishman leisurely took off his coat while the Scotch- man ran off to get the drowning man's job. Motor car fatalities are now becoming the regular daily events, and in nearly all cases the verdict at the inquiry states, the driver was exonerated from all blame." It appears that it is the poor pedestrian who is at fault, mainly, we believe, because he cannot run fast enough Something will have to be done to prevent the present wholesale slaughter of the innocents. We are glad to note that the Rev. D. Bankes Williams, Cwmavon, is making an effort to secure the preservation of the tomb of the celebrated Methodist preacher, Siencyn Penhydd, who died on December 26th, 1807, aged 61. A South Wales weekly paper remarks:—" It has been stated by certain historians that the body of this celebrated preacher, whose proper name was Jenkin Thomas, was interred at Margam Cemetery.
