SUNDAY DRINKING ON STEAMERS.
SUNDAY DRINKING ON STEAMERS. DR. ARNOLD'S PLEA FOR LIBERTY. A public meeting, presided over by the Mayor (Mr Bayne), was held at Bangor on Tuesday night to discuss the question ,of lessening Sunday drinking on steamers frequenting seaside resorts. The Dean of Bangor moved the) follow- ing resolution:—"That the exclusion of excursion, steamers on the, North Wales coast from the operation of the Welsh Sunday Closing Act and other controlling Acts is a fruitful source of mischief, and legislative powers are urgently nee,ded, to bring their drinking facilities under stricter control, and that licences should not be granted to sell drink in them on Sundays." The resolution, seconded; by Mr Henry Lewis, was supported; by the Rev. Edwin Jones, junr., vicar of Bangor, several Nonconformist ministers, and some lay- men in speeches the nature of which may be gathered from the striking speech by Dr. Arnold, of the University College of North Wales. He said that, though he might not ha,ve, much sym- pathy either for Sunday excursions or for Sunday drinking he considered, if he had correctly followed the arguments and sentiments so. far uttered, that. they were treading on dangerous grounds. If that had been a. meeting convened by the religious bodies' of the. town for the pur- pose of expressing their views as to the proper manner of observing Sunday it Would have been ai perfectly legitimate thing, but with a, public meeting it h3>- hoved them to be very careful when it was suggested that the aid of the law should, be invoked to force their particular views on other people. Much, censure of the English and of English ways had been given expression to. There was; danger in such a, course. A good deal had been said of the Welsh Sabbath and the, Con- tinental Sunday. He, deprecated, a hasty condemnation of the latter, which, con- trasted favourably in some respects with the Welsh Sabbath. Even in Bangor half the people were probably in bed on Sunday morning, and that because they had stayed up late, the previous night, it might be assumed, in order to shorten the Sabbath. At any rate, they had a good deal to learn, in this matter from; their Continental neighbours. One, of the Welsh speakers had asserted that they in Bangor had no need of fresh air on Sun- days. He had had a great deal of ex- perience with young students, and he ven- tured to say to the meeting very seriously that there was a, very great need of fresh air on Sundays. Their young people and students were pining for it, and with- ,out it the seeds of diseasa and; death were frequently .sown amongst, them. If they were not perfect themselves in this matter ought they not bei careful how they con- demned other people? No doubt to many who came down from the largei towns of England; those Sunday excursions, were the means of warding off sickness and death. Hie, should be very slow to advo- cate the, prohibition of the landing of ex- cursionists on Sundays. Laws passed in England 'to regulate Sunday obser- vance had not been very successful. The Mayor (interrupting) said therei was nothing in the resolution asking for the prohibition of the landing fo Sunday passengers at, Bangor. Dr. Arnold said that expressions iof I regret that Parliament did not prohibit it had been uttered. Excursionists were landed on Sundays under his windows, and he had never observed the drunken- ness spoken of, and others whom he. had: conversed; with had told him that they had not observed it. The resolution asked that the sale of drink should be totally prohibited on. steamers on Sunday. How many of these present had ever been seasick on a, steamer1? Those who, had would know that many people, con- sidered alcoholic, drinks as the best, remedy for that affliction. Besides, many people took food on board; these steamers who were; accustomed to' take alcoholic liquor with their mieials. Did they think it right to deprive those people of what they had been accustomed to? Or did they think it at all likely that such a law would be, passed? They were in effect asking for a law stronger for the sea than that in force on land; but, how were they to enforce it on the high seas? These people were really bona-fide travellers. He could not help feeling that the pro- posal was not a. practical one. Why not approach the companies quietly and make representations to them on, the subject. The Mayor: That has already been "done. Dr. Arnold said that, was, the first time he had heard of it. What they pro- posed might appear to bei an easy matter to such of them! as had not been accus- tomed to take alcoholic liquors, but, in his opinion it was not a practical pro- posal. The Mayor' said that if the resolution had. contained a suggestion to prohibit landing passengers on Sundays he would not have taken the chair, but it did not. He agreed with Dr. Arnold in disagreeing with the remarks of some of the speakersi. Their great point was t.)' do away with the great, drlaking on board, these steamers on Sundays. He did, not think it applied so much to Bangor, but at Mtenai Bridge, Beaumaris, and Llandudno it was a, dis- grace. The resolution was declared carried unanimously, and copies were ordered to be sent to the Welsh members of Parlia- ment.
lVIUSIO STUDY IN WALES.
lVIUSIO STUDY IN WALES. WELSH INSPECTOR'S VIEWS. The Pavilion, Colwyn Bay, was filled to overflowing on Wednesday night, the 19th inst. by an audience which had come to witness a, performance of Balfe's "Bohe- mia,n Girl" by the pupils of the Colwyn Bay Higher Grade School. The performance; of the opera was pref ceded by a miscellaneous concert, and during the interval an address, was given by Mr L. J. Roberts, H.M. Inspector of Schools, who- presided. Mr Roberts con- gratulated the pupils -on the manner' in which they acquitted themselves, and he congratulated the teachers alsoi on the skill in training their pupils, and particu- larly on the admirable taste and judgment which they showed in, the selection of songs. The two pieces which had just been rendered in unison by thei choir, Sullivan's "Lost Chord" and the beautiful "Lead, kindly Light" of Mr D. Pughe Evans, a young Welshman whose pre- mature death a, few years ago! was a national loss—were well calculated to cul- tivate the taste of the pupils. They could do no greater kindness, to. young children than to teach them toi appreciate, good music. It was, indeed, a mistake to imaginei that children disliked good music; experience daily taught us that such was not the case. Someone had re- marked that for the young the best was not too, good; and, that was true in music as in all other respects. Though they should guard against confining children to severely classical music they should take care that nothing mawkish, inferior, or sentimental was permitted. Mr Roberts pointed out thei good work which was done in our elementary schools to promote musical culture; for it was a characteristic of these schools that every child was taught not only to sing, but to read; music, which in more pretentious schools was too often, regarded as the Cinderella among school subjects. They in Wales had every reason not toi relax their efforts in music, for while at one time they ha,d, held a position of acknow- ledged pre-eminencei in choral singing, their supremacy was now challenged in all directions. Quite lately a new rival had arisen from within, the British Lsles —one that came not from, the little Isle of Man. Those whoi had heard the Manx choirs at our National Eisteddfodau knew what formidable, they were. At the last National Eisteddfod one of the chief choral prizes was taken by a Manx choir. A very interesting article had,, been written lately by the organist of Ban- gor Cathedral, giving his impressions, as an adjudicator, of a musical competitive festival in thei Isle of Man. At this fes- ival the adjudicators, consisting of some of the, lea,ding English musicians, we,re amazed at the excellence of the singing; and one of them, Mr Wilson, the trainer of the Birmingham Festival Choir, ha,d confessed that for purity of tone the Manx choir excelled any he had ever listened to. All this; pointed to, the need of increasing and persistent efforts on their part, and if all did their duty as well as the young songsters had, done that evening the future of Wales as a musical nation, would be in good; hands.—(Applause.)

-------------PULPIT EPIGRAMS.
PULPIT EPIGRAMS. They must be wonderful preachers who occupy the, pulpits in Chicago, judging by the columns of epigrammatic utter- ances which appear Sunday by Sunday in the Chicago, Press. The following is one of the latest selec- tions:— Humility is never seen in the mirror. Greed turns aspiration into ambition. Where clothes; reign character abdi- cates. It's but ai slippery step from smartness to sin. Nurse a misery and you cultivate a, monster. The, man who lives, by tricks finds them to be back-handed traps. People who calculate on an, eleventh hour repentance always die at 10-30 p.m. The trees we raise, and, not the ones we drop from, determine our worth. It's no use praying for a three-foot streami when you, have only a two-inch pipe. Everybody says "Amen" to the man, who prays to- be takeni out of this wicked world.

OWAIN GOCH AND MORWENNA; ---'-
OWAIN GOCH AND MORWENNA; A NARRATIVE; OF THE, GREAT ORME. The preventative men, thinking they were on the right scent, having found Eo: portion of a white garment which had caught in some brambles, came to the conclusion, erroneously as we know, that the smugglers had come' overland, and pushed in thei direction, of the vicinity of their haunts. Not a man amongst them knew the whereabouts of the retreat. Many had, in times pa,st, set out with the vowed intention of discovering it. It is possible that some, of their number did do so., but they never returned with the in- formation, and it was generally con- jectured that they had been kidnapped. If only the moon had, vouchsafed to, ccmei out, of its hiding place, it is just, possible, from the height, of the Ormie, which they had reached, that they might have seen the Smuggler's. boat returning, but the fates favoured their enemies. For hours they searched for further clues, and as dawn approached they re-doubled their efforts, but the officer in charge at length gave, the order to return. On taking the r,oll-call it was discovered that Caradoc Ivors was, missing. Inquiries, as toi when he was last seen, were made., but beyond the fact that it was he who had found the portion of white garment, nothing was known. Caradoc Ivors had mapped out plans of his own, and determined, to follow them once he had given the alarm. He ran shorewards, and although he neither saw nor heard anything which could have led him to thei conclusion, he nevertheless made; certain the approach had been made by the sea. It was difficult, to see more than an arm's length, but he knew his way well, and in a, short time, scrambled down into' a covel. It was well sheltered from, all winds but the south, which as it, blew off land made the1 anchorage for the fishing and other boats safe. It did not take Carodoc long to find the shore anchor of the preventative boat; not that he in- tended to use it, beyond utilising it as a means to securing a smaller and, more wieldly boat. But Caradoc had reckoned without his enemies, for on pulling in the hawser he found it had been severed, this meant either the boats had, been allowed to, drift out, to sea, or had been scuttled. But whilst it convinced Caradoc that he was on the right track, it did not help him to' follow them. He did not wait long to consider his next step, but quickly moving on he found and hauled on toi other hawsers, but all, as far as he could find out, had been treated, the same. There was just •one chance, that the boats had been allowed to drift, and the tidei being stronger than the light breeze, one, of the lighter craft might be hugging the shore. The possibility was a remote one, but not to1 be slighted. It was perilous, work clambering along the cliffs in the dark, but he never stopped, for an instant to consider the danger, nor what he was going to. do once he ha,d, found the, boat, he sought. There was, in his mind a half- formed idea, of following his, enemies in the direction which, it was, most com- monly thought, the, Smugglers hiding place lay. He, was, almost giving up his search as vain, when he stumbled on a, sharp pointed rock and fell forward; he put out his hands, toi save himself, and found himself clutching the gunwale of one of thei smallest punts in the bay. To find, out, just exactly what condition she was in, whether seaworthy or otherwise, was quickly but thoroughly done. So far all was, right. The. thought did once flash through his mind to- go in search of somei of his; companions, but, decided, that by this time they would be much. too far away, and without further delay he pushed: off. Hugging the, shore, as near as he dared he pulled strongly in the direc- tion of the first point. Once, the mioon cast its light, for a, brief moment over the waters, and Caradoc turned to look around and felt convinced he had seen,, a. boat ahead of him. This gave him renewed vigour, and setting to work he plied the. oars with all his might to lessen the dis- tance between them,. Fully an hour had passed, and once, or twice when Mor- wenna.'s lover lay on his oars to listen, he heard distinctly the noise of the oars mov- ing in the rollocks. The sound of a whistle came towards him, and he wisely conjectured it was time, to draw in oars and drift with the tide. The flash of a lighted lantern landwards was an- swered by three distinct whistles, which along with the noise of the oars, splashing in tha sea, proved to Caradoc that he had been within an ace of being discovered. Cautiously slipping out, his oars, he pulled sufficiently strong, as he thought, to. counteract the tide. But ere he! was aware of it, h81 found he. was drifting on to a shelving rock. Too late to make an effort to pull -away from it, he slipped, over the side and prevented any noise: of his boat grounding, which otherwise must have, given the alarm. Standing up to his arm- pits in the sea his patience was rewarded. He heard, the smuggler's boat being pulled; up on the shingle, and saw more lights. One' light appeared to descend and ascend; several times, and, then dis- appear entirely. C'aradoc Ivors knew he had plenty of t,im21 to. meditate ere daylight appeared, and this is what he intended to wait for. It, was, running a, big risk, but, having at last found the whereabouts of the dreaded Smuggler's Cave he determined to make sure of its bearings so' as to, organise an attack with some view1 of success. w Daylight, had appeared some two. hours or more, when Caradoc Ivors returned toi Llandudno, bay. The- loss of the boats had. by this time, been, discovered. His com- ing had been seen, and no. sooner had he reached the shore, than he, was plied with endless questions, which he rapidly j .1 answered in order to: the more quickly get way. He lost no time. in getting to, head- quarters and giving them there full de- tails of all he had seen. "And what now, Caradoc?" queried his officer. Give me ijwc. men, or three at the outside, and I will be in their cave to-night; 1, only, will run any risk—and if, as it is said.—there is a, way out, either east, west or south of the; Orme, I will find it, and bring Morwenna from the clutches of that lawless gang. o & (To, be Continued).
----._--'----MR. WM. JONES,…
MR. WM. JONES, M.P., AND PAST REVIVALS. Mr William Jones, M.P., occupied the chair at a lecture given on Good Friday night at the Tabernacle Welsh Baptist Chapel, Llandudno, by Mr R. R. Hughes ("Treborfab"), of Blaenau Festiniog, on "Thei Religious Revivals of the Past." The hon. member called attention to the permanent advantages which the, Welsh people had derived from the former re- vivals. There, were three, that he noted. The first of them, which occurred in the eighteenth century, was practically the awakening of the religious consciousness of the nation, and it left to, them their glorious hymnology, which might be said to be unparalleled in European literature. The, second revival, at the, beginning of the nineteenth century, crytallised their theology and literature, while that of 1859 brought in its wake their political emancipation and the renaiscence of their educational activities. In all of these three revivals, which were evangelical, the trend -of the religious aspect was to- wards the salvation of the soul. This present day revival seemed to be a gather- ing of the force of the early three into a permanent influence for the salvation of the whole, man. Whereas the earlier movements emphasised the individual, the present manifestation appeared to be more democratic, and took in all the social life of the nation, thus reverting to the early days of Christianity, when the. Church was not so much emphasised as the Kingdom of God. Consequently one might infer that this revival might well I;et,om, 1 L:: re- discovery of the Kingdom, of Heaven. We had a more practical application of re- ligion to. everyday life, teaching the dc importance o the, physical conditions as well as of the- intellectual and spiritual, the drawing of the churches into; more intimate and closer relations. Hence the supreme necessity of providing institu- tions in, connection with thei various churches to' perform, for portions of the community functions not performed for them by the home, and society at large. In a thoroughly mixed population in- stitutions in connection with the churches were. essential. They would work by every method—social, educational, liter- ary, recreative. By this revival, too, woman had to her own. Another aspect of it was the stratification of the lay element, in contradistinction with the sacerdotal or priestly element, in .our re- ligion.
o PENRHYN QUARRY.
o PENRHYN QUARRY. REDUCTION OF WAGES. The representatives of the; Psnrhyn quarrymen were, called; together to. meet Mr Young at the, quarry office on Tues- day, when he. reminded them, that in November last he, explained to them the depressed condition -of the slate, trade;, and how necessary it was to reduce, wages by withdrawing the special 5 per cent. bonus which Lord Penrhyn had given to the, men on the 11th June, 1901, and continued until the 14th March this year. Mr Young (said that he much regretted having to tell them to-day that unfor- tunately the situation is now much worse owing to slackness in the building trade and the large imports, of foreign slates, which made a further reduction of 5 per cent. in wages unavoidable, but in order that the men might feel the effect of this reduction as little as possible, Lord Pen- rhyn had given instructions to continue the existing bonus -of 5 per cent. for another six weeks, i.e., until the end of the next quarry month, Tuesday, 6th June, after which date. the; bonus will be withdrawn. A general discussion followed, in which Mr Young explained to the men's repre- sentatives how badly thei trade, stood in various districts; and pointed out how Penrhyn and other Welsh slates were almost entirely shut out from the South of England ports by the great, quantity of French slates (amounting to about 70,000 tons last year) that were dumped over here at very low prices. At the, conclusion of the interview, which was of a frank and friendly nature, the deputation asked Mr Young to convey to Lord Penrhyn their appreciation of his having allowed the, bonus for so long.
JONES'S DAY AT RHYL.
JONES'S DAY AT RHYL. The prevalence of the national patronymic Jones — at Rhyl Police Court on Tuesday caused considerable merriment. There was not, a, case in which the namei did not appear in some; con- nection or other. One individual bear- ing the. name- of Isaac Jones, of Vale Road, Rhyl, should have made his 27th appearance upon a charge of drunkenness, and, in his absence he was ordered 28 days' imprisonment with hard labour. In another case the name of Robert Jones wa,s called as that of the defendant, and. to the, amusement of everybody a man ,of thati name got up in the bilc "f the court and. came to the, front, only to be told that he was not wanted, but that the police were after another Robert Jones altogether. To add to the long list of Joneses, Mr J. W. Jones, the new chair- man of the Rhyl Urban District Council, was sworn in as a magistrate.
SPORTS AND PASTIMES.
SPORTS AND PASTIMES. SCHOOLBOYS' C!HALLENGE SHIELD LONDONERS WIN BY A SINGLE GOAL. Expectations that a, good exposition of the game of football would be witnessed in the final for the above shield were fully realised, for from first to last, the match was brimful of incident, and it was only in the last two or three minutes that the fortunes of the game were, decided. The Londoners were much the heavier lot of boys, appearing almost men by the side of the diminutive Sheffield boys, who were immeditely made favourites by a large majority of the. two thousand or more spectators who- lined the ropes, and filled the stand specially erected for the pur- pose. X X The, style of play of the two teams pre- sented as great a contrast as their physique, for while the, Londoners de- pended on fast, runs on the ,extreme wings with more or less well judged centres the Blades were conspicuous by their short, sharp passing, in which they often shone most brilliantly, and with a little better luck would have; secured a lead in the first few minutes of the game. # X # Some, smart work by Smith and his backs, however, kept, the ball on the right side of the, uprights, although it seemed during one exciting bully in the goal mouth that Sheffield would get through. The London boys got; two. goals in the first half, the first of which was rather a soft one, but no chance was given to the Sheffield goalkeeper to save the second. The Blades were unable to reply to these. points, so the Cockneys crossed over with a commanding lead. This lead they main- tained for some time, in spite of the de- termined attack of the Sheffield boys. Sheffield's first goal was one of the prettiest seen on the Council Field this season, and came from. a corner kick, which was nicely placed and headed with great accuracy by two players before find- ing a retiring place in the net. The equaliser came a, minute or two later from a, free kick in the goal mouth, Smith carrying the ball from a long dropping shot. The kick was taken by Bentley, the captain, who safely steered the ball through a, ruck of players off one of the London backs. Just when it, seemed, as if a, draw would result, Holloway -on the outside left secured the ball well in his own half, and made a mor'e dashing run down the line through all opposition, and steadying himself at about fifteen yards range de- feated the Sheffield keeper with a brilliant shot, and so won the match for his side. The Shield was subsequently presented to the winning team as well as medals to both sets of players. CRICKET. I LLANDUDNO v. ST. CYPRIANS. Llandudno opened the season with a match with St. Cyprians, Liverpool, and having won the toss sent, in Halstead and Briggs, who, put on 61 before, the former was dismissed for a good 42 (8 fours). Briggs left shortly afterwards with 53 to his credit (7 fours). T. B. Farrington also played well for his 27 (5 fours), whilst, Grundy played a merry innings of 25 not out (6 fours). The innings was declared at a total of 164 for 5 wickets. St. Cyprians1 after the tea interval com- menced to, bat, and were, soon dismissed for 48, thanks to bowling of Brings and Howel Jones, who each took°"4 wickets at a small cost.
