Chrysanthemum Show at Llandudno. Splendid Collection of Japanese Blooms. A CHRYSANTHEMUM show, in aid of the St. Paul's Church House, took place in the Mostyn Art Gallery, Llandudno, on Thursday. The room was prettily decorated by Mr Walker's head gardener, Mr Atkins, who deserves great praise for the way in which he has cultivated the flowers, and for the advantageous and pretty way in which he exhibited them. There was an extremely good attendance, among those present being:—The Hon. Col. Mostyn and Mrs Mostyn, Mrs Pierce, Mrs Chamber- lain, Mrs Vincent Johnson, Mr and Mrs E. E. Bone, the Rector (Rev Ll. R. Hughes) and Mrs Hughes, Rev Tudor Owen and Mrs Owen, the Vicar of Llanrhos (Rev Francis G. Jones), Rev and Mrs J. P. Rogers, Mrs Jones, Miss Elphick, Mrs Walter Evans, Mrs Pemberton, Mr and Mrs Bein, Mrs Roskill, Mrs Parker, Dr Dal- ton, Mr and Mrs Cornelius Sever, Mrs Hamer, Mrs Rogers, Mrs West, Miss Edith Rogers, Mrs Bevan Evans, Mrs Arkley, Mrs and Miss Henn, Mrs Broughall, Mrs J. Winter, Mrs Ward, Mrs Jennings, and Mrs Brook. The chrysanthemums and the other flowers were the property of Mr' John Walker, of Osborne House, Llandudno, and were very kindly exhibited by him. They were grown at his two gardens at Haulfre, Llandudno. Some very choice specimens of Japanese chrysanthe- mums were shown as follows:—F. S. Vallis, Mersliam Mellow, Madam Gustiv Henry, G. J. Warren, Mrs F. W. Vallis, Mrs Barkley, Chas. Davies, Vivian Morell, Lady Hannan, Kimberley, Madam Edmond Roger, Mrs C. Crooks, Sensation, Mrs Mildred Lyne. Groups of single and very fashionable chrys- anthemums were also exhibited, including Norah, Ladysmith, Mrs H. Herbert, and, Mrs H. Broome. Mr Ernest Jones's Orchestra performed dur- ing the day, and gave a concert in the evening. The Amateur Juvenile Pierrots, under the direction of the Misses Roberts and Cooper, also gave an entertainment. In connection with the show there was a small sale of work. The stallholders wereMrs Broome, Mrs Francis G. Jones (Vicarage), Mrs Walker, Mrs Lorriman, and Mrs Roberts (Huyton).

People's Institute for Llandudno. To Guard Against Temptation. SOME time ago the Temperance Federation of Llandudno, at the instigation of several working men, approached the trades union and friendly societies of the town with a view to prevailing upon them to hold their weekly or monthly meet- ings upon premises unlicensed for the sale of in- toxicants. It was found, however, that except the Town Hall Assembly Room and the schoolrooms of the chapels, which were rather cheerless for this particular purpose, were not always available, and rather too expensive to light and heat. The public houses were the only places which could be obtained for these meetings. It was therefore pro- posed that a building specially adapted for the trades union and friendly society gatherings should be provided, either as a municipal institu- tion, or by private subscription. To consider this project a public meeting was held on Friday night, Mr J. O. Thomas, chairman of the Urban District Council, presiding. Notwithstanding the fact that the meeting had been extensively announced, the attendance was somewhat meagre. The Rev. J. Raymond, in advocating the move- ment, said that one of the greatest objections to the meetings of clubs and societies in public- houses was that women and children had often to attend them to pay subscriptions and the like. The present scheme would not clash with the project for opening a Young Men's Christian Association, which would have to be worked on entirely different lines. The Institute would, to a large ex- tent, have to be supported by the men themselves. A free library ought to be provided for Llandudno, and the institute could be incorporated with it. The library portion of the building should include a library, reading-room, and newsroom; then there should be a hall capable of accommodating 300 to 400 people, a spacious recreation-room, and a room in which the members of the societies could meet and pay their money. The present library and newsroom in Mostyn-street might be sold. It would fetch £ 5,000 or £ 6,000, from which would have to be deducted the mortgage of ci,ooo. Mr Carnegie would not assist them unless they obtained a freehold site, but if it were possible to secure a freehold site he might give them £ 5,000. Then the council had £ 700 in hand for a similar scheme and property which might realise £ 300 more. The Lifeboat Committee, if they could sell the old lifeboat-house, would have £ 200 which they might contribute, as they had a scheme of the same kind in view. That made a total estimated fund of £ 11,200, which might suffice for the build- ing he had described. (Applause.) Lord Mostyn had indicated his sympathy with the project, and there was, no doubt he would either give a free- hold site or sell one at a nominal figure. (Applause.) Mr E. E. Bone said that 400 at least of the 800 working men in the town should sign a petition to the council. That would show that they really wanted such an instiute. (Applause). Mr John Roberts, Mr Robert Roberts, Mr F. J. Sarson, Mr John Bellis, and others spoke in favour of the scheme, and Mr G. A. Humphreyssuggested that they should obtain a report from each society as to their requirements to give them a basis to work upon. This course was agreed to, and on the motion of Mr Bellis it was decided that the re- port should be laid before a properly convened public meeting of the ratepayers in a fortnight's time.

Al'eged Wounding at Penrhynside. Prisoner Sent for Trial. ON Thursday, Hugh Jones, of Penrhynside, was brought before the Llandudno Police Court charged with wounding Evan Evans, under circumstances detailed in our last issue. Dr Dalton presided, there being also present on the bench Messrs J. Adey Wells and J. O. Thomas. Mr E. W. Johnson appeared for the defence. Evan Evans gave evidence, which was in Welsh, and translated by Inspector Owen. During the course of the evidence Supt. Rees complained several times that Evans was a most unwilling witness, and he should have to ask the bench to treat him as hostile. Mr Johnson: I think he is giving his evi- dence very fairly. By Supt. Rees: He was sent for by his mother, aged 80, to quieten Hugh Jones. They had a bit of a scuffle on the load, and Hugh Jones put the pitchfork through his right hand and also bit a finger of his left hand nearly through. By Mr Johnson: He had bee" friends with the prisoner for about twenty years, and was still friendly. He had had a few drinks on Saturday, and would not be surprised to learn that the prisoner had also had a few, but they had not been together that day. Mr Johnson: In fact you can lower as many as most people?—Yes. Witness was not certain whether he put his hands on the pitchfork. It was very dark at the time. Prisoner then gave evidence on his own be- half. He was a joiner by trade, in the employ of Mr J. H. Jones, joiner, Craigydon. On Saturday he took 16s 10gd as wages, and had several drinks that day. In the afternoon there was some bother between his brother and him- self, and his brother knocked him down, his head coming in contact with the floor. He went to get a stick to defend himself, but got a pitchfork. His brother followed him to the porch, and then returned to the house, and closed the door. He stood in the yard with the pitchfork in his hand. Evan Evans came up and tried to strike him. In reply to Mr Johnson, witness said that when Evans tried to strike him he had the pitchfork in his hand, and Evans brought his hand down to the pitchfork, and that was how the accident occurred. He had not been an in- timate friend of Evans, although he knew him well, and Evans had many times knocked him about. By Supt. Rees: There were two windows broken at his house that day, but they were broken by his brother. His mother ran to Evan Evans for his assistance, but had not had to seek his assistance before that date, owing to his conduct on other occasions. Mr Johnson, for the defence, contended that the police had exaggerated the charge, and had not submitted one tittle of evidence in support of the grave charge of "unlawfully wounding, etc." He contended it was purely an accident caused by Evan Evans running against the pitchfork in a drunken brawl, in which neither one or the other were sober. He asked the bench to dismiss the charge. Aftr retiring to consider the evidence, the Chairman said the bench considered there was a prima facie case, and prisoner would be sent to the Quarter Sessions for trial. »

Death 01 Another Famous Bard. Watcyn Wyn's Illness Terminates Fatally. WE regret to announce that Watcyn Wyn," of Amamnford, the famous Welsh bard, died on Sun- day, at the age of sixty-two, after a long and pain- ful illness. He started life as a collier, was trained for the Congregational ministry at Carmarthen Presbyterian College, and afterwards established Gwynfryn for the various professions, but more especially for the Christian ministry. This school became one of the most successful in the Princi- pality. Watcyn Wyn was one of the most prom- inent members of the Gorsedd, of which he had been secretary many years. He many times won the National Eisteddfod's highest honours, but per- haps his most important achievement was winning the chief prize for a poem on Washington at tne Chicago Exposition. He was a strong advocate of the introduction of the harp into Welsh homes, and won great fame as a lecturer and adjudicator. He was co-editor of the "Diwygiwr," and was foremost in all matters pertaining to the Welsh mation's welfare. His wit and humour gladdened the hearts of thousands, and a great gap is left in Welsh national life. He was a simple, plain, modest man, possessed of great originality and ex- ceptional natural ability. A national testimony was being subscribed to him, but he has passed away before the nation has repaid and honoured one of its greatest sons. He was undoubtedly one of the greatest Welshmen of his generation, and to-day a whole nation mourns its loss.
