- Notes and News.
ment had not shown that wisdom in working out the details of the scheme that they should have done. They, in Wales, were capable of doing things in the way of making cloth, for instance, that would be suitable for the requirements of this Territorial service or any other service. The Borough Member had been usin? his influence in high quarters to get Welsh products of this kind accepted, but the Welsh. Industries were not received in the way they should be. MR. PARKER went on to siy that Scotch battalions insisted upon making their own cloth or tartan, and in Wales they should have a similar opportunity, and not be called upon to make a cloth at a sweating price. Clothing for Welsh troops was made in factories that lent themselves largely to making that stuff irrespective of any profit whatever, almost as a by-product. We are afraid that Liberal Governments will not give more national recognition to Wales than the Tories will. There is, unfortunately, no Welsh national party strong enough to fight for Welsh national interests. THE two notable clerics at the official dinner given by the Right Hon. D. Lloyd- George were the Bishop of St. Asaph and the Rev. Herbert Morgan, of Castle Street. Mr. Morgan is the pastor of the chapel where the Chancellor of the Exchequer is a member, and one of the most popular of London Welsh preachers. WEDDING.—A very interesting wedding took place at King's Cross Welsh Congre- gational Chapel, London, on Monday, June 22, the contracting parties being Mr. G. Parry Griffiths, son of Mr. and Mrs. Griffiths, Llyncynfelyn, Colwyn Bay, late of Dolenydd Farm, Ynyslas, and Miss Elizabeth Evans, daughter of Mr. James Evans, Penbontgate, Crosswood, Aberystwyth. The officiating minister was the Rev. D. J. Griffiths, M.A., Morriston, brother of the bridegroom. The bride (being given away by her uncle, Mr. E. Evans, Castle Street, Stoke Newington), was charmingly attired in a cream-coloured dress, with hat to match, trimmed with ostrich plumes. The bridesmaids were Miss Annie Evans, 11, Downham Road, Kingsland Road (bride's sister), and Miss Griffiths, Colwyn Bay (bridegroom's sister). The bridegroom was attended by his brother, Rev. James Griffith, Colwyn Bay. After the ceremony the party drove to Downham Road, where a large number of relatives and friends were entertained to breakfast by Mr. and Mrs. Evans. It is interesting to note that all who sit to breakfast started life in Cardiganshire. Later in the day Mr. and Mrs. Griffiths left for North Wales for their honey- moon. The presents were numerous and costly. Miss Georgina Grosvenor the Society Palmist, late of Bond Street, London, and at present of Queen's Arcade, Cardiff, is the holder of a remarkably interesting collection of Testimonials, testifying to her brilliant powers as a palmist and phrenologist. The Testimonials are from members of the learned professions, and all classes of Society. The Welsh Club. At the annual meeting of the members of this club, which was held last week. the secretary gave a very gratifying report as to the present position and future prospects of the institution. The membership, both town and country, show a considerable advance every year, so much so, indeed, that the present accommodation has been fouad to be unsuit- able and insufficient. Arrangements have been made to enter other premises, the rooms hitherto occupied by the Authors' Club, in Saptembsr next, and as these are situate on the ground floor of No. 4, White- hall Court, they will possess further attrac- tions to the casual visitor. The members of the old committee, or governing body, were re-elected, and as Mr. Ellis J. Griffith, M.P., wished to vacate his seat on the committee, the Rev. Mr. D. Bryant, M.A.,B.C.L., was elected to fill the vacancy. Five additional members are required on the committee, and it was decided that an election to fill these vacancies be held in October next at the inauguration of the new premises. Lord Tredegar was again appointed president of the club, and Sir John Puleston and Mr. J. Pritchard Jones, D.L., were elected vice- presidents. The fees for membership are Town members, two guineas; Country members, one guinea and as the club year commences on July 1st, this is an opportune season for new members to enroll. All par- ticulars can be obtained from the Secretary, Welsh Club, 2, Whitehall Court, S.W. Welsh Industries. The annual meeting of the Welsh In- dustries Association was held at 83, Eaton Square, by kind permission of Lord Aber- dare, on Friday, June 26th. A large and influential company were present, and the chair was occupied by Lord Tredegar. In her annual report, the Secretary (Mrs. Helme), gave an interesting survey of the growth and present successful position of the Association, which has done so much for the local industries of Wales, and if the present growth is maintained, it promises to become an influential factor in the com- mercial life of Wales. The year's trading showed an increase in nearly all the centres, and it was demonstrated that the acquisition of new and more commodious premises for the London depot had amply repaid the promoters. Sir D. Brynmor Jones spoke of the good work of the Association, and Lord Tredegir humourously suggested that many of the Welsh ladies might patronise Welsh lace for their dres3 decorations in future, and trusted that at the next year's meeting a considerable increase would be reported by the energetic secretary. Attention was drawn to the annual sale and exhibition that was held during Tuesday and Wednesday last at the Albert Hall, an exhibition that was organised and carried to a very success- ful issue. Ancient Welsh Monuments. The personnel of the Commission to inquire into the state and condition of old Welsh monuments and crosses has not yet been definitely fixed. It is pretty certain, however, that Sir John Rhys, D. Lit., of Oxford, will be the chairman, and no man in the kingdom could fill it with greater honour and knowledge. Some eminent archaeologists from North and South Wales will be added to the board, but it is hoped that some practical business men will also be repre- sented among the number. It is suggested that Mr. Edward Owen, of the India Office, be offered the Secretaryship, and as Mr. Owen is a keen historian and archaeologist, he would be an admirable person for the work. The Commission will, of necessity, be a slow one. It will take many months to get particulars and report, from the various local archaeologists and as many of the principal monuments will have to be visited, the excursions of the members will be in- structive, as well as numerous. And, what is more important than all, it promises to be a very harmonious and happy inquiry.
