Anglesey & Carnarvonshire AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. INCREASED ENTRIES: RECORD ATTENDANCE. FULL LIST OF AWARDS. ■ (From Our Reporters.) Numerous entries, a record attendance, and ideal weather combined to make the 55th show of the Anglesey and Carnarvonshire? Agricultural Society hold on Thursday, at Llangefni, a conspicuous success. Instituted in. October, 1851, the Anglesey and Carnarvonshire Agricultural Society has un- doubtedly stimulated agriculture in both counties by offering premiums to farmers to im- prove stock, and the ehow, the venue of which alternates between Llangefni and Bangor, 's How regarded as one of the principal agricul- tural events in this part of North Wales. In the agricultural world a farmer who has gained laurels at the society's show is looked upon as having achieved a great distinction, and can always demand a high price for his horses and cattle. When the show opened at ten o'clock crowds paved into the show ground, which covered four spacious fields. During the rest of the morning the crowd gained in size, and by the time the jumping competition commenced in the after- noon it was estimated that the attendanoe con- stituted a record even for Llangefni. The feature of this year's show was the all round excellence of the exhibits, which showed au increase of seventy compared with the pre- ceding year, and with one solitary exception— the pigs—the exhibits won high praise from the fadges. In the heavy horse department the entrants were exceptionally numerous, so numerous in fact that the judging was not finished until the afternoon had well-advanoed. In one class no fewer than twenty-two horses figured, and in the ring they presented a fine picture. Not only were the horses numerous, but they wore also of excellent quality, and there Were very few easy winners. CAPITAL HEAVY HORSES. Seventeen classes were appropriated by the heavy horses, which numbered 153. The chief competition, thai for the challenge cup, valued at £10, presented by the secretary (Mr John Exitchard) .excited keen interest. Fifteen shire stallions, geldings, and mares, representative of the premier studs in both counties entered the ring. The winning animal belonged to Mr ii. J. Gardner, Valley, the vice-president of the show, who, having been previously first with the same animal, a bay mare now four years old, wins the cup out-right. There was nothing exceptional in the class for two year oM agricultural entire colts, Mr Richard Parry, Trefnant Wen, Gucrwcn, being the wbner. Some splendid yearling agricultural eolts and geldings were shown, Mr 0. Owens, Penhwynllye Farm, securing the award. Equally meritorious were the agricultural brood mares, the winner being a powerful animal full of good qualities, belonging to Mr O. Parry Jones, Hryn- ewran. The agricultural brood mares shown by tenant farmers formed only a moderate class, but with the following class for agricultural mapes not less ihan four years old the judges were greatly pleased, especially with Mr Gardner's exhibit, which obtained the a.ward. Yes, it is a big class, but it is a very un- satisfactory one to judge," said Mr Gould, one of the heavy horse judges, alluding to the class for the best team of horses, mare or geldings for agricultural purposes. He explained that the animals were of varying age, which arrange- ment was rather an unsatisfactory one. The prize, which was given by the president, went to Mr O. Owen, Penhwynllye, a well-known Anglesey farmer. The yearling filly shown by Messrs Williams iSrothens was very highly spoken of by the judges, and they also admired the filly foal belonging to Mr Hugh Roberts, Ty'n Cae, Bodedern, who secured the premium in a large class. Special prizes were offered by Earl Egerton, of Tatton, for the best foaJs bv either of his Worses serving in Anglesey during last season, ne best colt foal under thai head being shown by Mr Griffith, Bodeddaji, Tycroes.

Asked for the reason, p 9 °* the .udges told our reporter that Mr s ani;llt^ had rather too prominent 1' blades. Besides, the winning bull calf r*:a<cl a tougher skin. The steers were of superLative excellence ^specially the one from tho herd of Mr D. 0.' ^IKams, Ty Ma,wr, Clynnog-road, Carnarvon. Air Thomas Roberts. A bar showed tho best ^Vo y^ar old Welsh breeding heifer, which, by ^10 way, he has sokl to Mr Greaves, I'ort- ^ladoc. The tenant. who showed the best Jfarhng heifer of Welsh breed was Mr John Rryniau Fawr, Tycroes. The pure bred eish cows from the University College Farm Practically swept the board in their classes. A SINGULAR JUDGING INCIDENT. A singular incident marked the judging of th shoep. The vice-president had offered a jyecial prize for the best pen of one ram and • w<? owes of any brood, and the competition was JiiQgixl by (iie three sheep judges. The "6hort decided that three sheep of that j; »>e vvx:iro the best; the "long wool" judge, ^v*r, thought that the long wool specimens io be awarded the prize, whilst the Gf (;}]<» Welsh aticep further complicated t.^f- rnatter by averring that Cymru's represeii- ^t.ives were easy winners. In' vain the secre- .y endeavoured to persuade one of the cattle Vr>D"CS to come OT er and settle the question, !oc>ked as though a decision would never ■vv ^I'rived at when the "short" and "long" -m!*0 ,1,IC-3les capitulated, and (iie prize was yarded to tho trio of Welsh bred sheep which 0^*?? ^rpra '-fi0 farm odf the University College e v°rth Wales.

Hughes, (Parityfirith, Glan Con- way, who judged the butter, complained that the exhibits, generally speaking, wore rather too salty. TRADERS' EXHIBITS. The private exhibition on the ground tracted much attention. Occupying a com- matndBng position was the well-known firm of Mesans Gray and Co.,Llangefni. They had one of Orossley's oil engimes in motion, and also o,no of Corbctts's oelebratod grindimg mills. Tho firm also included in its comprehensive diep*\v ahafF caittera, pulpers, ixitato diggers, oil oake mills, horsepowers far ahurns, cu^tivatexs, Webi ohurn», end over end churns, butter vvotrkers, mangles, wringors, washing machines, eiieep dippers, slieop racks for feeding, corn bins, ploughs by Messrs Howard, Hornsby, Mealccra, Romcs, in fact everything; that the up-to-date farmer requixeo. On the ground were also tents representing the firms of Messtra the Palatine Oil Mill Company, Liverpool; R.

SeediMnon, Warrington; Thomas Foden and Co., Bridge Mills, Liverpool-road, Manchester; Dicksons, Chester, and: Day and-Sons, Crewe. THE RETIREMENT OF THE SECRETARY The sihotd was invested with unusual interest Jy the fact that it was the last at whichMr John Pritchajrd, Bangor, acted as secretary. In a short chat with our reporter Mr Pritchard said that lio had held the post secrc-itary of the Society for thirty years, havii-ig been assistant secretary for six years before he succeeded the late Mr John Lloyd. During tlie whole of that period he missed only on3 show, and that was due to indisposition. In- cidentally, Mir Pritefoard mentioned that as a rule the shows of the Society were great suc- cesses at Llangefni and failures at Bangor. During the day ma.ny prominent exhibitors expressed to Mr Pritchard their sircere regret that he had decided to terminate his connec- tion with the Society. It may be mentioned that Mr Prrtohajxl cqmrnemaraied the jubilee of the Society in 1891 by presenting lour valuable cups for competition, three of them having now been won outright. Mr Priitchard's suece*!K>r is Mr H. Parry Jones, auctions, Holyhead. THE OFFICIALS. The following were the officials:—President Mr E. J. Mabor-Smith, Tre Iarwetrth, Angles sey; vice-president, Mr R.

Denbighshire Teachers' Association.
Denbighshire Teachers' Association. ANNUAL MEETING. COACHING FOR COUNTY SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIPS. TEACHERS' SALARIES AND EFFICIENCY. The annual meeting of the Denbighshire County Association of the National Union of Teachers was held in the Pavilion, Llan- gollen, on Saturday. There was a large attendance of members, Mr W. M. Pierce, of Denbigh, the retiring president, occupy- ing the chair at the morning business meet- ing. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Mr R. Hughes-Jones, Vron Council School, Wrexham, was elected president. Mr S. G. Jones, of the Colwyn Bay Higher Grade School, the only nominee, was unanimously elected vice-president. It is the custom for the vice-president to become president in the ensuing year. Mr Ellas Jones was appointed treasurer, and Mr E. J. Roberts was re-elected secre- tary PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS. The incoming President, in his address, deprecated the indifference of many teachers to the work of the Union. Review- ing the changes in the machinery of educa- tion in the past decade, Mr Hughes-Jones held that every change that had occurred was in the direction of a national svstem-, which was now in sight (applause). The wrangling about education had made the question a gloomy subject, which was be- clouded by denominationalism, and the only thing that one would think people cared about was sectarian teaching. The de- nominations., to defeat one another's objects, discounted the teacher's comfort and placed obstacles in his way. This was particularly the case with the voluntary school teachers. In Denbighshire the West Riding judgment was responsible for a further disturbing official letter, intimating that it was proposed by the County Com- mittee to take into consideration the time devoted to religious instruction in the schools and to make a deduction on account of such time given for religious instruction. The present condition of affair's was a public waste of money and effort, and the denominational difficulty stood in the way now as in the past. A better system of training teachers was urgently needed. Whatever became of the Bill before Parlia- ment, he hoped that it would place elementary education under public control and would absolutely free teachers from re- ligious tests. The National Union depre- cated any sectarian or party sympathies on the part of teachers. The Union had repeatedly condemned in the strongest manner the imposition of non-scholastic tasks as a condition of appointment to a post or the retention of a post as a teacher, and the attempts, too often successful, to deny to teachers some of the ordinary civil and religious liberties of the English people (apnlausej COACHING CANDIDATES FOR SCHOLARSHIPS. Mr R. B. Searell, Denbigh, moved: ''That this meeting of Denbighshire teachers con- siders it undesirable that teachers should take classes out of school hours for county school scholarships." He said that a cir- cular letter had been sent to the teachers in one of the school districts of Denbighshire suggesting that better results in the county scholarship examinations might ensue if the teachers devoted two or three evenings a week to coaching some of the brighter scholars. Teachers, Mr Searell contended, ought not to be required to make up in their own private time for the educational de- ficiencies of the primary schools, and if special preparation was essential then it was the duty of the education authority to make arrangements for that special and in- dividual attention in school hours. It was always found that scholars from schools having certificated class teachers were welt placed on the scholarship list, and until all schools were placed upon the same footing of efficiency as to staff, etc., it would be unfair to compare school with school and district with district as was now often done (applause). With due deference to their worthy inspectors, he objected to the schools of a district being judged by the result of a scholarship examination (ap- pIa use) Mr W. R. Owen seconded the motion, which, after some discussion, was carried unanimously. EXTRA LABOUR FOR HEAD TEACHERS. A resolution was passed unanimously, on the motion of Mr W. M. Jones, seconded by Mr Elias Jones, Rhos, respectfully ask- ing the Attendance Committees to omit from the annual report the average and per- centage of attendance of children between the ages of seven and twelve and of twelve and hfteen, inasmuch as the finding out of these statistics imposes much extra labour upon the head teachers, and no provision is made for them in the registers. THE VICE-PRESIDENT'S SPEECH. Mr A. R. Pickles, in the course of a short address, enforced the urgency of improved facilities for the training of teachers, and advised that the candidates for the pro- fession should be nominated from tho elementary schools by the teachers who had had the opportunity of learning their possible fitness. He ran through the re- forms which the National Union still de- sired to bring about, and expressed a hope tliat teachers in Denbighshire would not fall into any of the traps which seemed to be so skilfully laid for them. As to the West Riding judgment, it was unfair and un-English to penalise the teachers for the fault of an Act of Parliament (applause). Whatever their politics or their religion in Wales, teachers should be teachers first. It was the duty of teachers as a body to see that every qualified member of tho pro- fession received a fair day's wage for a fair day's work (applause). PUBLIC MEETING. ADDRESS BY MR HERBERT ROBERTS, M.P. A public mooting was held in the a.ftor- Mr J. H. Roberts, M.P., presiding over a large attendance. Mr Herbert Roberts, M.P. in the course of an addrjss, said he considered that the condition of barring party politics from the domain of education should be a condition that should always prevail. It was largely owing to tho introduction of party politics into the educational arena that for 50 years and more the cause of elementary educa- tion in the country had been a source of friction rather than a great unifying force in the national life. It was high time that this senseless conflict should cease, for the solution of the great question lay not in endless debate upon tlie floor of the House of Commons, but in the hearts of the men and women of tine land (hear, hear). They were, doubtless, all familiar with the pro- visions of the new Education Bill, and he might be asked "What about the future?" It was never safe to prophesy, but in poli- tics and in everything else ho was an op- timist and he believed the provisions in regard to the full popular control and full freedom fro tlie teaching profession from relio;ious tests and other tests would be car- ried soon into law. There were other pro- visions dealing with the administrative side of Plication tliat he felt sure would receive legislative sanction. He thought the time was not far distant when they would think it no longer worth while to cultivate tlie conflict in. sectarian differences as regarding education, for he refused to believe that in that country there was a great gulf fixed which could not be bridged between the various sections of the follo-wers of Christ —(annlause)—and snrelv it was their duty to do all that they could to mimmiso the diffi- culties, and with the bridge of charity to remove tlie gaps that at present jpivided them with the widest spirit of tolcrance." In regard to the West Riding judgment, he woidd only say that lie was iiad of that de- cision b?cause it had cleared tho air, and shown them where they stood arid if con- troversy upon !any question of education was bad enough to fight upon, it was ten times worse when they fought without being assured of their position. For his own part, he thought that tho judgment would be the means of bringing about, sooner than any of them thought, a decisive and satis- I factory settlement of the question (applause). TEACHERS SALARIES AND EFFI- CIENCY. Mr D. E. Rees proposed a resolution ex- pressing the opinion that the adoption of an adequate soale of sala.rt3s would co-nduoe to greater efficiency in the schools by re- moving the inequalities at present existing in th2 payment of teachers of similar rank and qualifications, and calling upon the Denbighshire Education Committee to es- tablish a scale. He drew a graphic meture of the ill-effects of the present deplorable position in rural districts where teachers are underpaid. The resolution was adopted. Mr A. R. Pickles vios-president of the N.U.T., pleaded for a better recognition of the requirements of tho teacher and a more sympathetic regard for his requirements. It was not a good thing for Denbighshire if it were better to be an assistant master in Wrexham thlln a headmaster in the country districts (hear, tasar). Mr Clement Edwards, M.P., said he was thankful for the West Riding decision, which he believed was based upon sound law. The education authorities should say to the teachers in the non-provided schools, "You may continue in your present school on the clear and distinct understanding that the salary is paid for secular purposes alone, and if you care to impart religious instruc- tion you must deal with the trustees of the particular denomination as to what you should be paid for the other duties required to be performed above, and beyond those provided in the secular syllabus" (applause). In tliat way he thought they would get a short cut to a satisfactory solution (hear, hear). EDUCATION COMMITTEE DEFENDED. Mr W. G. Dodd, chairman of the Denbigh- shire Education Committee, said a good deal had been asserted as to the condition of the tocher in Denbighshire to-day; but was not that position better than when education authority oa.me into power? (Cries of "No, no.") He said the position was better. (" But the prospects are not.") So far as he was concerned, he assured them that the desire of the County Commit- tee was to improve the status of the teacher, and he defied anyone who was prepared to make charges to coane to the fountain head and have them thrashed out properly. (Voices Pay us! pay us!) They were being paid better than before, and he condemned. attacks that had been made upon "Article I 68's," who had not, in tfhe past, had the advantages that wene now /placed within their reach. Let the teachers combine, if they would, to educate the ratepayers, but do not let them try to coerce the Denbigh- shire Education Authority. If any of them had grievances let them take them to the authority. A public meeting was scarcely the place to air them. Mr Pickles said it was quita true that the ratepayers must be educated in the first place to see the necessity of honouring tlie teaching profession, and no member of the Education Authority oould surtely consider such conditions to be favourable when he knew that the services of the average teach- er, perhaps after 30 years' work, over and over again were recognised as being of less value than those of a bricklayer. His plea was tht as education was tho most imports ant of ail their industries they must have the best teachers they conild get, and if they desirod the best teachers they must hold out to thorn a good and sufficient pros- pect. That had always been his plea, and he had left it to the local authorities to put the cap on if they thought fit. The members of the association were sub- sequently entertained to tea by Mr J. H. Roberts, M.P.
The late Dr. R. Lluwy Owen
The late Dr. R. Lluwy Owen FUNERAL AT BETTWSYCOED. The funeral of the late Rev. Dr. Robert Llugwy Owen, whose death at Colwyn Bay we announced last week, took place at the Bcttwsycoed Cemetery, on Friday afternoon. At Bryntawel, where the remains of the deceased had been brought the previous night, a short service was conducted by the Rev. Evan Davies, Trefriw, after which a memorial service was held in the Methodist Chapel, close to. Here the remains were escorted by a large crowd of ministers, dea- cons, and the general public. The Rev. Thomas Parry, Colwyn Bay. opened the meeting by reading a portion of the Scrip- ture and offering a fervent prayer. The Rev. Robert Roberts, Colwyn Bay, delivered a short address in the course of which he referred to the late Dr. Owen as a true and religious man,—a man who lived much in the society of God. His life was well shown in his publications as well as in his sermons. The Rev. Mostyn Jones, Bangor, said he remembered the deceased in the year 1875, when in the \\aterloo of the political cam- paign, he being the gallant Wellington, he brought over the county of Flint to his own way of thinking. He'also brought over the Monthly Meeting, in which every member had a right of expressing his own opinions. He was an original man—original in his thoughs and sayings. His way was to teach and not work upon the emotions of the people. The Rev. Owen Evans, Elandudno, re- ferred to him as a public man when at Acre- fair, and the schools at that place were now a monument to his memory. As a littera- teur, he stood alone amongst them, and he (the speaker) advised all young people to read his sermons. The deceased always clung to privacy, and that was the trait that the young should emulate. The Rev. Barrow Williams also spoke a few words, and referred to him as an indi- vidual who was not afraid of man. He held an independent opinion, and still he did not offend those whom he disagreed with. He allowed to others the same latitude as he himself fought for. He was a man of action and thought combined; and his work for Nonconformity in Flintshire was a proof of his action. He was always revered by those whom he fougnt against. Dr. Owen was one of those who glorified God by his thoughts and they wanted more men of his class. As a friend of 31 years' standing he would miss the deceased greatly. Tho service concluded with a prayer offered by the Rev. Lewis Williams, Col- wyn. The funeral cortege proceeded to the cemetery, the coffin being carried on a bier by six bearers. On their, arrival, a short service was conducted by the Revs. T. M. Jones, Colwyn Bay; W. Edwards, Conway* and Robert Roberts, Colwyn Bay; and the hymn, Day clydd o brysur bwyso," was impressively sung. The coffin, which was of polished oak, with brass mountings, bore the inscription- — "Parch Dr. R. Llugwy Owen; hunodd Modi 16eg, 1906; G9 oed;" and on it were beautiful floral tributes from his niece "Annie." from Mrs and Miss Thomas, Mr R. Thomas, and Mr R. E. Jones, Conway; and from the Carmel C.M. Chapel. Con- way. The chief mourners were Mrs Owen (his aged mother), Mrs Owen (widow), Mr Joseph Owen (brother), Mrs Hughes and Miss Owen (sisters), Dr. Owen. Dr. Owen, Colwyn Bay, and Dr. Owen, Mostyn (sons)^ Mrs Oliver Jones (daughter), the Rev. Robt! Roberts and Mrs Roberts (sister and brother- in-Law), the Rev. Moses Jones, Bala, and Mr and ¿.¡ rs R.

The fature of Percy Hughes, tho brilliant Welsh boy pianist, has, thanks to the efforts made on his boJialf by the Western Mail," of Cardiff, been comfortably assured for the three years during which he studies in London.
