The leek was -generally, worn by both young and old, and in the evening a large number attended banquets held a.t the ictci\a Hotel and the Centr il Rt'sfaurarit. Mr and Mrs MeFarlane, tno genial hoot and hostess of the Victoria Hotel, had prepared a sumptuc.ii.s b:vi(iiiet. There were over bO gU">j present. J.

This was fojb.wed by the toasi of "Tho Queen, tho j Prince arid Princess of Wales' and tho resi of tho I Royal Family," after which tho veteran, Mr K. P. HttghoS, rendered, "God bless the Prince of Wales-' A "NOBLE CHARACTER." The Vici'-President (the Rev. Titley Williams); in submitting, the Icust St. David, our patron saint," said 'St. David was a true Briio,n and jiatriot, and flourished at an age when there was no distinction between the rac-ús-all were then Britons. IIo was uco only Bishop of Wales, but Bishop of England also. His character was tho .r.eblcst in the history of the country, and, formed an example for ages t follow. Personally, ho would wis'i to pull Movn OfTa si and tilow young Wales to look bevend. Although ho could not follow Mr Lloyd George's pobtioal idea, he was proud of the fact, that a Welshman had reached such a high position. He (tho speaker) expected that. Mr Lloyd. George would shortly bo promoted to be Ch tneeilor of tho Exchecpier, which shovved what Welshmen were ca:>ab!o of attaining (cheers). PLEASANT REMINISCENCES. Mr Aihv, en Williams, Fesiiniog. who respon- ded, said that lie had attended the great aruiuai anaivenury of the patron saint at LlanrwsA for 40 years. Llanrwst was part of England and M'ajes e renic and everywhere (laughter). He remembered trial 40 year^ ag'o the dinner was held at the Bull s Inn.

The Navy of the present day rea(i I wis quite ;is ready to do its duty as tho hearij of oak of the past (cheers). The Japanese army ha.d boen modelled upon tho German army, but I the Navy had been modelled upon that of Bri- tain—it was a child of the British Navy (cheers). Ho w as afraid that there was at, tho present day an inclination to starve tho Nav.>—a tendency to practice economy at the expense of efficiency. practice economy at the expense of efficiency. They had inherited from their forefathers, tho "rule of the sea," and it was due to the child- ren to bo placed in the position to stall "rule the waves" (cheers). There were men on both of the House anxious for efficiency, but there was also an element of inefficiency, and this wn-8 a source of danger to tho "iirt line of dc- fcnco." The Russian fleet was cent from tho Baltic meet, its doom, to face the modern ap- cf Japan—and had as much chance of r;UCC;Y>S as a man would have with a how and ar- row a-ainsi the modern rifle.
