Liberalism in Conway CONFIDENCE IN THE GOVERNMENT. I A public meeting, under the auspices of the Conway Libeial Association, was held last night {Wednesday) in the Town Hall, Conway, when I there was a good attendance, notwithstanding the inclement weather which prevailed. Dr. M. J. Morgan, J.P., presided, and he was supported by Dr. Carter, Mr. J. P Griffiths, Mr. G. O. Jones, Mr. Win. Jones, and Rev. Wm. Edwards. The principal speaker was Mr. Edgar Jones, M.P. for Merthyr, who was no stranger to North Wales prior to his entering St. Stephen's, and the yo-ing Member's popularity has increas- ed since he has entered Parliament The Lib. eral stalwarts of the town were well represented. The Chairman said they would all be glad to hear Mr. Edgar Jones, M.P., and he was cure they all regretted that the Rev. D. Gwyn- iryn Jones was una^e through ill-health to be present He (the Chairman) said in reference to Welsh politics he was sure that they in Wales would not have been so patient only that Mr. Lloyd George was one of the eight in thf Cabinet. The speaker xeierroo to the House of Lords question, upon which the last flection was fouglit. Mr. J. P. Griffiths moved a vote of confidence m His Majesty s i-overnment. iney nan oeen yea.r after year for many years to the polling booths to emphasise thi needs oi Wales, and they were yet without many of those things which were dear to Wales. (Applause.) He be- lieved that they were coming. (Applause.) The Rev. Evan Jones had stated that the Conference on the Veto question was likened to the sitting on eggs. What they would hatch they did not know. They would have to wait (Laughter.) It was good sometimes to use the whip. (Laugh- ter.) They wanted s< mething now more than praise, and they should keep knocking at the door of the English Legislature for tne granting of the needs of Wales. He believed Mr. Lloyd C eorge's last democratic Budget nad given the death-blow to Tari f Reform. (Hear, hear.* At this point Mr. J. W. Hughes, who headed the poll on the previous day, entered the room with Mrs. flushes, ;,nd w:.s cordially applauded. Dr. Career seconded the vote of confdence. He paid a tribute to the high qualities of Mr. Lloyd George and the other Members of the Cabinet. He hoped the Liberals would be in power not only for next session, but for many sessions to carry on the business of the country. (Applause.) The Chairman asked Mr. J. W. Hughes and the Mayor, Mr. John Williams, to go on the stage, and as these gentlemen complied with the request they were heartily applauded. Mr. Edgar Jones, who was cordially greeted, said he had pleasure in supporting a vote of cor fide nee in a Government for work done, and ¡ not for empty promises Tariff Reform was dead. Mr. Bonar Law said it wasn't. On the other hand, Lord Charles Beresford said they had better drop the wolds Tariff Reform and adopt Retaliation. Lord Charles was evidently thinking of the Bombardment of Alexandria. (Laughter and applause.) In a scathing man- ner the speaker derided the so-called question ot Tariff Reform, The speaker dealt with Mr. Balfour's reference to the vague policy regard- ing peasant proprietorship. The unending pro- mises made by the Tories showed their want of a tangible policy. -Let them as Liberals remem- ber the work done by the Liberal Government, and also the hollow policies of the Tories. Mr. Lloyd George had killed Tariff Reform. Other men fenced with it, but Mr G-oige gave the Tariff Reformers a dose with his Budget. (Ap- plause.) All errors had to be rectified in deeds. It was they in the Carnarvon Boroughs who produced the man Mr. Lloyd G'orge, the skilful orator. The Budget was the answer to Tariff Reform. Mr. Lloyd George had laid down this year the basis of a great scheme for national insurance against unemployment. Free Trade had not had its proper chance yet. Cobden said that they would not gèl: real Free Trade until they got land free from the feudal system and its attendant abuses. Mr. Lloyd George with his Budget was going to give Free Trade its first real opportunity. The speaker referred to the navy scare-s of the Tories, and said that was a great reason why the Chancelloi should stick to his post. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Mr. Lloyd George abhorred the waste upon naval armaments, but if Torics would insist upon the;e scares they would have to pay for it. The money was wanted for social reform. (Applause.) No more money would be wasted in building ships than wa•• necessary. The Budget in the futtire was going 1o settle every- thing. In the past it was not so. They would not be wasting money in running after Mad Mullahs. The Budget would ma1,e it unneces- sary to have such a thing as Tariff Reform. The speaker dealt with the land question and the much-debated Form TV. Mr. Lloyd George had stated that there were good landlords who were going to be helped by the Budget. Mr. Lloyd George was not a revolutionist. He was as far as the North Pole was from the South from being that. The speaker dealt at length with royalties, and how Mr. George was anxious that the owners of royalties should contribute to the taxes of the country. The valuation of the land would be made from the top of Snow- don to the bottom of Treharris coalpit. Mr. Lloyd George was the gentlest, suavest, and most obliging gentleman in the land. (Laugh- ter -ind applause.) His nice littie Form IV. was to ask certain unwilling gentlemen what they thought they ought to get for their land. (Laughter and applause.) He was proud of be- ing a Welshman. Form IV. was going to be a standing fact as to how obliging a Welshman can be. (Applause.) The whole sum and substance of Form IV. was that a. man should say what value he places on his land. The bother about it was that these gentlemen were not willing to say what the value TO. But the public would know. The landed neonle did not grumble of the little tax they would have to pay. It was what lay behind it in the future. Mr. George was letting off the pressure ot taxation upon the trampled people, a deal of whom were in South Wales. (Hear, hoar.) Mr. Lloyd George had the greatest safety valve against a revolu- tion in the schemes he was placing before them. This valuation of land was such that reforms would com-3 of their own accord. Landlords were howling about it. But Mr. Lloyd George had them in every way with their excuses. Per- haps some men in that constituency had receiv- ed Form IV. Nobody was intended to suffer, and nobody would suffer. All big social reforms depended upon Form IV. They would not get Form IV. next year. It had not been done be- tore since the days of William the Conqueror. (Laughter.) And they had been able to sleep I well since then. Form IV. was going to take Its place in history, with a reverent attachment to its author such as was given to the William of the Doomsday Book. (Applause.) The speaker dealt with the question of Home Rule and other questions in a manner which greatly interested his audiente, and upon the close of his speech he was accorded enthusiastic ap- plause. The vote was carried with acclamation. I The usual votes oi thanks to the s^ak-cr and J the chairman were accorded.

The Storm. During Monday night's storm, the ketch James, of Carnarvon, with a crew of four, was anchored in the Cross Roads. She suddenly dragged her anchor and went aground opposite Penmaenmawr, and near to Puffin Island. The Beaumaris Lifeboat went out at 12.30 a.m., and stood by until eight o'clock in the morning. The ketch afterwards proceeded to the Conway River, and is now at the Quay at Deganwy, having lost both her anchors and chains.

Llandudno Autumn Season Concerts. A GLORIOUS CHORAL NIGHT. Everyone who has the interests of the town at heart must rejoice to think that the autumn sea- son concerts of 1910 have proved a success in I every way. The only matter for regret is the fact that having been accustomed to such I musical treats for the past three weeks, they will f be greatly missed. The executive have tried to meet all tastes in the entertainment world. An immensely successful musical festival, a comic opera, Trial by Jury," and the engage- ment of the world-renowned Moelwyn Male I Voice Choir, have all been embraced during the season, which was brought to a close on Sunday evening. The appearance of the Moelwyn Choir on Thursday evening was one of the most success- ful the choir have ever had. Never was the choir in better voice, for they reached the high water mark of vocal fervour and delight, and held the huge audience spell-bound by their clever vocalisation. Many are the musical treats which have been heard at the Pier Pavi- lion, but we question if ever any exceeded the joy-imparting pleasure with which the sons of Meirion delighted their audience on Thursday, The programme was a brilliant one throughout, and the audience were most enthusiastic. A FINANCIAL SUCCESS. The three weeks' series of concerts has re- i suited in a surplus of some £ 20 to £30, without touching the reserve of £100 brought forward from last year. Including the musical festival held in the course of the season under the guar- antee of the Committee, the expenses have amounted to about /620. On Thursday night, when the Moelwyn Male Voice Choir, of Blaenau Festiniog, conducted by Mr. Cadwaladr Roberts, contributed most acceptably to the programme, there was a very large audience. On Friday night, again, the attendance was exceptionally large. The vocalists that night were Miss Dorothy Silk, of Birmingham, who made a successful first appearance at Llandudno, and Mr. James Coleman, who sang a patriotic song of his own composition the chorus of which was led by the local Company of Boy Scouts. Miss Lucy Nuttall, the Manchester contralto, was the leading attraction for the two final concerts on Saturday and Sunday nights, and on both nights the audiences were very large, being augmented by exceptionally strong contingents from Colwyn Bay, Conway, and other towns on the coast. At the close of the programme on Sunday night, Miss Nuttall sang the National Anthem, the audience joining heartily in alternate verses. It is proposed to submit a report and balance- sheet to the subscribers to the concerts at an early date.

Llandudno Cricket Club PROPOSED CRICKET WEEK. LORD MOSTYN'S JOKE. The annual dinner of the Llandudno Cricket Club was held on Monday night at the Clarence I Hotel. Lord Mostyn, the President, occupied the chair, and Mr. R. S. Chamberlain the vice- chair. Tile President gave the toast of the Llandudno Cricket Club. It was, Lord Mostyn said, a great pleasure to him to see around the table a number of old cricketers who were associated with him many years ago when the club was first formed. When the club was started the M.C.C. teams came down, and excellent cricket was enjoyed during the first season or two. It was entirely due to the gentlemen he referred to and others that the excellent ground now available was provided, and he trusted the club would be able to play on it for many years to come. (Applause.) At present the club was really going strong—(applause),—and he would throw out the suggestion that the pavilion now on the ground was hardly good enough.—(Ap- plause.) If the club would start a movement for providing a better pavilion he would do his best to help it along. (Applause.) The Rev. W. E. Jones, captain, in responding, suggested that next year they should arrange for a cricket week," and if they had a really good pavilion, they would be able to go to work with greater energy and invite down good clubs from England, such, for instance, as Oxford University Authentics." (Applause.) Mr. J. J. Marks proposed The Chairman and the Vice-Chairman." Lord Mostyn, replying, expressed his great interest in cricket and in the Llandudno club. CRICKET AND LAND TAXES. Mr. R. S. Chamberlain referred to the early days of cricket in Llandudno, forty years ago, when the matches were played on a rough piece of ground near the west shore, and when in- stead of its being sometimes difficult to find sufficient players there was great difficulty in making use of the players who came to the hotels and boarding-houses from the Universi- ties and elsewhere. He would like to see more of the boys brought into the game to-day, and facilities given for admitting them, especially to the practices in the evenings, when, as Mr. Marks had suggested, sides of some sort might be arranged and better practice at fielding obtained. (Applause.) He hoped that further subscribing members would join, as they would have to face more expenses next year. Mr. Lloyd George's taxes were not going to be paid for out of nothing, and a recreation ground of the character of the Llandudno Cricket Field was not exempt from the land taxes. So he calculated that there would be an extra tax of about /20 a year. He hoped he was wrong, for Lord Mostyn's sake-it really would be a substantial sum. Lord Mostyn I see the pavilion floating away. It is going. (Laughter.) Mr. J. E. Hallmark proposed The Visitors." and Mr. Jordan, of Deganwy, responded.

Conway and District Free Church Counci. The Rev. Luther Thomas presided at a meet- ing of the Council on Wednesday evening, I October 26th, at the Baptist Chapel. Feeling references were made by the Chairman, Mr. J. P. Griffiths, and others to the loss the town had suffered by the demise of the late Mr. Parry Hughes, and a unanimous vote of sym- pathy with the bereaved family was adopted, and it was further resolved to send a record of his work towards uplifting the religious and moral standard of the town, to be inserted in the Free Church Year Book. Hearty welcome was accorded to the Revs. D. Tecwyn Evans and W. R. jones--who were present for the first time,—on the motion of the Rev. O. Selwyn Jones, seconded by the Rev. T. Gwynedd Roberts, supported by the Chair- man and Mr. j. P. Griffiths. Both the rev. gentlemen thanked the meeting for their good feeling. Most of the meeting \\as taken up making preparation for the forthcoming mission'which is to be held in the Town by the Rev. Rhys B. Jones, on November 14th to 17th inclusive, and in Llandudno Junction on November 18th. A motion in opposition to Mr. C hurcbill's Shop Hours Bill as at present constituted was adopted on the motion of the Rev. W. R. Jones. It was also resolved, on the motion of the Rev. D. Tccwyn Evans, to call upon the Government to use their utmost power to put an end to the Indo-Chinese opium traffic. On the motion of Mr. J. P. Griffiths, seconded by the Rev. O. Selwyn Jones, it was resolved "'That we rejoice the attcnpt recently made in the Town Council to have the Castle open on Sundays, proved abortive." A copy of the re- solution was sent to the Mayor and to the Press.

Penmaenmawr Urban District Council. THE QUESTION OF SUNDAY GOLF. INTERESTING DISCUSSION. At the vatsfct of the meeting of the Urban District Council on Tuesday evening, Dr. H. T. Jenkins, the vice-chairman, presided, but later on the Chairnan (Mr. P. H. McClement) arrived and occupied the chair. The other members present were Col. C. II. Darbishire, Messrs. D. Gordon Jones, R. D. Jones, F. D. Chantrey, Thomas Roberts, S. Williams, D3.vid Jones, R. D. Owen and Dr. J. R. Willi-inis; with the deputy Clerk (Mr. J. W. Post), the Surveyor (Mr. R. John Hughes), and the Collector (Mr. John Owen). WILL SUNDAY GOLF BE PERMITTED? The Clerk submitted the draft agreement with the Golf Committee for approval. After perusing it, Mr. R. D. Jones stated that there was not a word in the agreement with re- spect to Sunday golf. According to the agree- ment as it stood, the Golf Club would have a perfect right of opening the links on a Sunday. He should like to know whether that was so? The Chairman said there was nothing mentioned in the agreement. Mr. R D. Jones thought it would be well to hav<> a clause in the agreement to safeguard them-selves. The Chairman said the agreement would come up for revision in three years' time. Mr. Jones And during that three years would you, Mr. Chairman, guarantee that there will be no Sundav golf. Wa ought to have this matter clear. Mr R. D. Owen asked whether the golf house was at present used on Sundays by members. The Chairman Not that I im aware of. Mr. R. D. Jones said there was another point with referenec to the agreement. When the tennis and croquet giounds were completed, would those members have the same right of using the golf hou^e as the golfers. The Chairman replied that the Golf Com- mittee was going to the expense of constructing the tetuii; and croquet giounds and they would certainly expect to get some return for the ex- penditure they were undertaking. He did not belive that the Golf Club intended to prohibit anybody from using the golf house. He be- lieved that several outsiders already made use of the telephone there. Mr. R. D. Jones said he took it that according to the agreement the Council would be in receipt of any monies received from the tennis and croquet grounds. The Chairman Oh, no. Mr. Jones continuing said it would cost the Golf Committee very little indeed to construct the tennis and croquet grounds. It appeared now that the Council who were paying 14 rent for the field woald not be in receipt of this money, ami that no extra .-cnt was charged to the Golf Club. He considered this also should be made clear before the agreement was signed. He maintained that the Council itself should be re-, sponsible and in receipt of lees from the tennis And croqueit grounds. Mr. Thomas Roberts Then the Council ought to do the work themselves. The Chairman said the matter had been thoroughly discussed. The first -stirnate of the cost of the golf links was £1000, but the appli- cation for the loan was reduced to £ 900 in con- sideration of the Golf Club constructing the tennis and croquet grounds. If the original plan had been carried out, the Council would have to construct these grounds, but the difficulty arose in taking charge of these grounds and in receiving the fees, and handing out equipment. The Council felt that it should be under the same management as the golf The agreement as it stood was the agreement amended by the Council, and it had been considered two or three times by the Golf Counnittee and adopted by them, and the Council weie unanimous in favour of it. Mr. R. D. Jones asked the other members of the Council whether they understood when they voted for the adoption of the agreement, that the Golf Club were to receive all fees for the tennis and croquet grounds. He doubted it very much. Mr. F. D. Chantrey felt that the Golf Club ought to have every facility for making all they could out of the grounds. It would take them all their time to make it pay, and they would not get much out of the additional games. Mr. R .D. Jones said his complaint was that there was nothing mentioned in the agreement about it. He did rot believe there was a minute on the books in which it stated that the Golf Club was to be in receipt of the fees The Chairman If there is not; there should be, because it has been passed. Mr. Gordon I quite agree with Mr. R. D. Jones as to'the playing of golf on Sunday. The Chairman I think you have very little confidence in the Golf Committee. Mr. R. D. Owen I take it there won't be any Sunday pLaying. The Chairman has given his word. The Chairman I have nothing to do with it. I am only a member of the Golf Club. Mr. Thomas Roberts also said he was against Sunday playing. The Chairman If I want to play on a Sun- day, I go away. Ir. Thomas Roberts As it is now, anybody can go there and play on a Sunday. Mr. R. D. Owen If there is any risk, it ought to be decided. The Chairman The club may be forced to allow playing on a Sunday, or a-?k the Council to take the links over. Mr. R. D. Jones replied that the deputy Clerk's statement to the Local Government Board Inspector was different. He said that there was no doubt that at the end of three years they would be more likely to reduce the debt by £ So. The Chairman Perhaps the Clerk had Sunday golf in his mind. (Laughter.) The Deputy Clerk said .th.a.t his statement was that if it progressed the !>'wne as it had done this year. The adoption of the agreement having been proposed and seconded, Mr. R. D. Jones moved and Mr. Gordon Tones seconded, that the agree- ment be referred to a special meeting of the Council. The amendment on being put was lost by a majority, and the original motion was afterwards carried, Messrs. R. D. Jones and D. Gordon Jones only voting against it. THE CEMETERY. Dr. J. R. Williams gave notice that he would move at -he next meeting of the Council that a whole time man be emploed at the Cemetery. He stated that the cost would not come out of the naievj, as most probably a number of people would be most willing to subFcrib-t: to keep a man there regularly.

Carnarvon Quarter Sessions. The Quarter Sessions for the county of Car- narvon were held on Thursday, under the presi- dency of the Chairman, Mr. J. E. Greaves (Lord Lieutenant), when, in the course of the swear- ing in process, a number of the Grand Jury showed a distinct partiality for the Welsh form of the oath. The first to depart from the prac- tioe which has always obtained of taking the oath in English was Mr. T. E. Griffith (Beren), and he was followed by seven others, including Professor T. Hudson Williams, of the North Wales University College. The innovation was zD generally remarked upon. THEFTS.

Pritchard Brothers, Garth, Bangor, and stealing therefrom r-ix lemons. Mr. S. R. Dew appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Artemus Jones (instructed by Mr. Pentir Williams) a-idressed the Court in mitigation of punishment, describing the ac- cused as a highly respectable lad up to the time of this offence. The Court bound the accused over, and directed him to be placed under the supervision of the probation officer for twelve months. He was then discharged. NEW MAGISTRATES. Dr. H. Grey Edwards and Mr. J. E. Griffith, Bangor, qualified as magistrates. VALUERS' RETAINING FEES. Mr. Thornten Jones, acting on behalf of various parishes in the Conway Union, applied to the Court to sanction certain valuers' bills of costs in recent appeals by the parishes against the county rate basis. The appeals, he said, concerned a sum of ^6,000, and the fees were undoubtedly reasonable and had been paid by the appellants. Mr. J. T. Roberts (clerk to the County Council) opposed, on the ground that a retaining fee of 25 guineas was exorbitant, and _e that practically all the work charged for had already been done for the Union, entirely apart from the Interest which the parishes as such had in the valuation. He admitted that the tees had been paid, but he thought that it was a public scandal that gentlemen in the position of valuers should take upon themselves to fix what fees they would charge. Mr. Thornton Jones pointed out that the work had to be entered upon for the parishes. It did not follow that because valuers had already done work their services were to be placed at the disposal of any hireling. The Court disallowed the retaining fees, but sanctioned the remaining costs.
