PHOTOGRAPHIC NOTES. ¡ (BY VERONICA.) PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE GARDEN. Flower time ami harvests are always attrac- tive, and the recent enoru»ou3 development in nature photography nia.it have had its effect ujioii many of my readers, so that I imagine numbers of them going into the garden* und fields to record phases of nature, quite apart from their attempts at "landscapes" j-.ad "1'ie\V." For photographic iiurposes, as well a3 for pieasing effect to the eye, it is al- ways a convenience to have flowers in good bold masses, aitd with retiring backgrounds. j The gardener, of course, often gets his effects of contrast by use of colour rather than oL differ- ence of tone vaiues, but the photographer is limited to tones only. Therefore, many a floral group which is charming in the open garden will require the introduction of an artificial plant background to make it effect-ivs when photo- graphed. < < EMPHASISING THE PRINCIPAL OBJECT. This is as important in flower photography a3 in any oilier class of cameia work, and fortu- nately by u-e of colour sensitive piates and light filters, together with careful selection of the lighting, it is possible to get £ Veat variation of effect into different views of the same subject. For instance, take a fine handsome group of those fine, tall, white lilies, which will be in bloom when these notes appear. They may be photo- graphed with the sunshine full upon them, and with the background of foliage in shadow. In such a case, if very ample exposure is given, so that detail may be preserved ia the shadows as well as in the highlights, you will have a glorious representation of "llaming June," with the lilies standing out boldly in the dancing sunlight, j against their shadowed foil. Iu the alternative, with the same subject, wait until a shadow falls upon the lilies and the background is lighted, If again, careful exposure and development are given, a totally different version will be pro- vided, and by thus watching the changes of E!ht, many a beautiful effect may be recorded, even in a small cot'age or suburban garden, without any very special knowledge or apparatus. « « a COLOUR SENSITIVE PLATES FOR HAR- MONY, By use of colour-sensitive plates and vay-Iit Ion of light filters, it i possible to ring a whole series of changes from flat series of lones to enormous- ly strong contrasts, and it is well to realise that no single arrangement of plate and light filter is suitable for all subjects, or even for all versions of any one subject. Generally speaking, how- ever, the isochromatic or orthochromatic plate, used with a medium light filter will give much more harmonious renderings of garden scenes than will the ordinary plate without light fil- ter. When attempting to deal with subjects that contain a good deal of red awl orange, it is well to use a panchromatic plate, again with a light filter. • • » • THE BEAUTY OF SMALL THINGS. Perhaps the greatest lê3.ion that any picture- making photographer can learn is that which tells him the beauty of many of the objects to be found in his own immediate suri^uidings. While costly orchids and their rare P.owers pre- sent interesting problems in colour rendering, probably no English plants give better opportuni- ties for beautiful decorative studies than do the common poppy and the common nasturtium. Two or three flowers and a few leaves of nasturtium give the opportunity for extremely beautiful technical work in rendering the texture markings and colourings, and these things can be grown even n atin a garret. It is quite a mistake, to long foV great formal gardens, and even those who have no ground at all can grow, if they have the patience, beautiful subjects for their work. Only this morning, within a few yards of St. Paul's Churchyard, in a busy back street, I notlced the windows of a warehouse wreathed in beautiful creepers, which were grow- ing from small quantities of soil in boxe-i on the window ledges, and what can be done in the heart of Londun can be done anywhere in the country, • • e STUDIES OF LANDSCAPE. We very often find prints described as "stud- ies," when they show obviously that no study whatever iias been devoted to them. Yet, study is a most .valuable thing, and is what can be obtained by anyone anywhere. As many camera men are now amongst the trees and mea- dows, 1tiiat a very useful and attractive piece of pastime is to make a series of real studies of some simple landscape, all from one position. If you can photograph it on several diffe- rent days, so much the better, but even three or four views, made at different parts of the same day, and with careful consideration of the circumstances, will, when developed and printed, give much useful food for thought. If possible, select a subject which includes some fairly dis- tinctive foreground, some middle distance, and some distinctively distant hill or other object. In seeking for variation, try to make at least one picture which emphasises the foreground at the expense of the distance,"and another which gives to the distance full or perhaps even undue value. The mere difference between the pictures given by two lenses of which one is say double the focal length of the other, the difference obtain- able by changes of light, and the variations that may be made by working with and without colour- sensitive plates and light filters will be interest- ing. Take a typical subject looking toward the east, and note the marvellous difference between this aspect when lighted by the morning sun, which makes ail the near trees and their shadows stand bold and dark toward the camera, and its appearance in the evening, when the light side of everything is turned towards the photographer. Much of this lightness has its own beauty and is quite different) from that which is to be seen at noonday. In each case, the beauty may be preserved or emphasised by suitable treatment, and it is the attention and skill which preserve these beauties that give a man the right to call hi3 pictures studies. » • • » A TIME" DEVELOPER. Alfred W atkins, who has done so much to re- move the mystern from exposure and develop- ment, and to render these processes simple and certain, has just given a new boon to photo- graphers by introducing a time developer and a patent "thermo" indicator which forms a part of the bottle. A speed list of plates with a rela- tive time indicator, is given with each bottle. The developer, which is concentrated, needs di- luting with water only, then any properly ex- posed 2>late can be developed with absolute cer- tainty by merely placing it in the developer for a pre-determined number of minutes. The only variable factor is the temperature at the time of working, and the variation of time for change of temperature is calculated automatically and in- stantly by the "thermo indicator." There is no need to watch the plate or to use a dark-room light.

THE LONGEST" DAY. BRIGHT SUNSHINE: GENIAL WEATHER. There was probably more sunshine on Sunday than on any other day during the year. According to the calendar it was the longest day, and in most parts of the country the sun shone brilliantly from a cloudless sky, and the holiday resorts were filled with visitors over the week-end. The heat in some places was intense, and would have been almost intolerable but for the cooling breezes which prevailed. Reports from the holiday resorts were:— Aberystwyth. Sunshine throughout; more settled; warmer. Bang-or.-Gloriously fine; calm sea.. Chest e r. -(,, loi- lous warlll day. Cohvyn Bay.-F"-ne, bright, and warm. Llandudno.—Glorious day fine and warm. Penmaenmawr.—Brilliant sunshine; calm; cool- ing breezes. Rhyl.—Temp. 65; sunshine 13.3 hours,

LLAXKWST BOARD OF GUARDIANS. THE VENTILATION OF THE WORKHOUSE The n onfhlr meeting of the above Board was held on Tuesday, Air John Roberts, J.P., pn- siding. The following members were also pre- sent :— M essrs I). G. Jones (vice-chairman), John Berry, J. LJovd Morris, John Hughes, O. Lloyd Jones, T. T. Roberts, R. Williams, Rowland Hughes, E.W.Roberts, David Jones, Isaac Hughes, D. Lewis, Edward Roberts, C. Jones, Evan Williams, David Owen, E. EdwanL, John Davies (Bryniog), J. (Gwytherin), the Revs. J. Gower, J.P., J. Llewelyn Richards, H. Ruwson Williams, and Henry Jones, Messrs R. R. Owen (clerk), T. Hughes (deputy clerk), Jone-i and T. T. Roberts (relieving officers), E. Hughes (master), and Dr. E. Lloyd Williams (medical officer). OUT-RE LIEF. The Clerk reported that the sum of JE185 -12s lid had been paid in out-relief during the I)aAt month to 318 paupers, being a decrease of £6 lis 8d in relief, and seven in the number of paupers. The cheques for the ensuing month amounted to £204; FINANCE. The Clerk reported that there was a balance to the credit of (he Union of £ 420 16s. The cheques drawn out for payment amounted to L1742 14,s lid, which would leave an adverse bal- anee in the hands of the Treasurer of i;1521 18s lid. The first, instalment of calls, amounting to £2295, was due cn June 22nd. THE HOUSE. The Clerk reported that there were 19 inmates in the House, against 26 the corresponding period last year. The Master reported that 86 tramps had been relieved during the-past month, against 90 during the same month last year. Mrs Ashley, Plas Cae Groes, had presented the inmates with maga- zines, and a vote of thanks was accorded the lady. Mrs Barrow Williams and Miss M. C. Williams, Matron of the County Hospital, Llan- dudno. had visited the House, and expressed themselves pleased with the arrangements. AX UNFORTUNATE PAUPER. Mr T. C. Roberta (relieving officer) reported that a female pauper in his district had been somewhat badly bitten by a dog. She was in re- ceipt of 4s 6d weekly, and applied for an increase during the. period of her illness. After some dis- cussion, it was decided to increase the relief to 7s 6d. ANNUAL TRIP. The Master reported that the local Sunday Schools intended groing to Llandudno on their annual trip in about a fortnight. It was usual to allow the orkhouse children to accompany them. The Clerk explained that the chapel authori- ties paid all expenses, but that the Board allowed the children a little pocket money. It was decided to adopt the usual course. FIRE EXTINGUISHERS. The Master intimated that a firm had signified their intention to give a free demonstration of their hand fire extinguishers. Probably the Board would be interested in the experiment. The Clerk pointed out that the Visiting Com-, mittee had considered the Local Government Board Inspector's suggestion to provide fire buc- kets for the establishment, and recommended that 12 buckets should be purchased, lie had applied for quotations, and the prices ranged from 35s a dozen upwards. Probably the Board would prefer to witness the result of the fire extinguish- ing demonstration before they decided. On the motion of Mr J. Hughes, seconded by the Rev. H. Rawson Williams, it was decided to defer the matter pending tho trial of the new extinguishers. The Clerk further reported that the Visiting Committee recommended the purchase of six new bedsteads for the sick wards. The Inspector had recommended the removal of all the old bed- steads, and the purchase of new ones, but the committee considered that their suggestion would meet the present requirements. On the motion of Mr J. Hughes, seconded by the Rev. J. Llewelyn Richards, the committee's recommendation was adopted. THE VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE. Dr. E. Lloyd Williams, the medical officer of health, submitted a report in regard to the ven- tilation of the Workhouse. He submitted that the existing small fastened-up windows should be replaced with sash windows, to reach up to the ceiling, in order to secure proper ventila- tion. The Rev. J. Gower said the room facing the meadows was provided with six windows, which should suffice to properly ventilate the room. Dr. Williams: A dozen such windows would be useless. Mr G. Roberts A window that can be opened at the top is useless for ventilating purposes- Mr J. Davies: The bad air would escapo through the door when opened. Rev. J. Goner You shoiukl all go. and exa- mine the windows beforo you decide to expend a large sum of mont^ It the old windows are replaced with la-ge new ones you will have to place iron bars across them or else the inmates will break their necks in atrempting to escape through them (laughter). Dr. Williams explained that the svstem ot ventilation was 50 years behind the age. It did not matter what tho size of the rooms were if the windows were fastened up. Rev- J. Ll. Richards: Would one now win- dow to oacli* rooni suffice ? Dr. Williams: 1 hardly think so. Mr J. Davies: The rates are not considered at all. You arc only thinking of spending- Wo are not bound to adopi the suggestion laid before us. Rev. J. Gower: The best authorities contend that a hole under the windows with a pipe at- taehed is the best method of ventilation. The Chairman: We must take notice of the medical officer s report. Tho ventilation of tho house is even of more importance than the rates, yet I do not see what we can -do this year, as this expenditure is not included in the estimates. At the same time our hands will probably be forced by the Local Government Board at some time or other. Rev. J- Gower: You know nothing about ventilation (laughter). Wait until you get ex- pert act (laughter). Chairman have Dr. report before us- The C lerk remarked that the Ipæai Govern- ment Board had written to enquire what tho Board had done in regard to the medical offi- cer s report. Lc\- J- Gower Why did Dr. William- send his report to the Local Government Board!' The Chairman: It w& his duty to -Lio so. Re\. J. Gower: Why didn't he submit it to us first Mr E. Roberts: Surely wo have something better 10 do than listen to Mr Gower's Per- petual talk (laughter). 1 Rev. J Cower: The Board must first pass a resolution that I alii not to talk or eLse I ■u'lii keep on expressing my views- I have not bo-on a Guardian for 29 years for nothing and I am not going to be gagged by Mr Roberta or anyone else. At the request of the Chairman, the passage at arms terminated at this noint, and on the motion of the Rev. Rawson Williams, s.conded by Mr J. LI Morris, it was decided that tho matter should be referred to the Visiting Com- mittee- ° PAUPERS AND COWS. Tito Clerk intimated that the Finance Colu- mn tee had suggested that he should write to the looal Government Board for power to re- lieve poor people who possessed a oow. but he suggested that tho application should be de- ferred pending the auditor's report. Mr J. Davies: Who brought the matter be- fore the inspector? The Clerk; The inspector warned the re- heving officers not to relieve such cases- Mr J. Da vies: But someone must have i r, I formed him that we are in the habit of re- lieving those persons. Rev. J. Goy.-cr: I suppose the relieving offi- cers had enterod the fact in their books. Thev do nor. enter how ntueh money paupers have in Clubs or banks-(hear.hoar)—nor a list of their furniture, and I do not see why thev should include thel cows. I suggest iliat in fu- «™or?S )d° C",0r The Clerk: That would encourage tkm to decetvo the Board. The Chairman We must try and evade being Tt -aS ,ar-f'J s m. <Jllr Power (laughter) It nas decided to await the auditor's report before moving any further in the matter- CONDOLENCE. On the motion, of the Chairman, seoonded by tne^ Rev. H- Rawson Wilhams, a vote of svm- pabnv was passed with tho Clerk on the I-as of his sister. .Jí8

FESTINIOG UBBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL. THE FINANCIAL POSITION, PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF MARKET AND FAIRS. On Friday evening the monthly meeting of the above Council was held, the following members being present:—Messrs J. Cadwalader (chairman), Evan Jouos, U. Jones. William Owen, C. Roberts, J. Lloyd Jones, E. M. Owen, J. Lloyd Jones (junr.). If. Jones, David Williams. William. Edwards, W. J, Rowlands, Richard Jones, B. T. Jones, R. C. Jones, E- T. Pritchard. E. LloyJ. Powell, W. 1' Alhwen Williams (engineer). Alun Davies and Csradog Rhydwert (assistant clerks;, and Geo. Daviea (sa 11it lrY i tisp cciOr). The Chairman, on behalf of the Council, welcomed Messrs Priloiuird and Powell, the two new members- FIR hi BRIG ADE STATION. Mr I). Williams proposed that the committee shenid be asked to reconsider the desirability of erecting a fne brigade station. lie did not why the matter should be delayed. Money had been lent for the purpose of building such a station- Mr Owen Jones said lie was glad to under- stand that the c:mmi;t-re had been convinced of the utter unsuitabiliry of the site for such a purpose. Air D. Williams said the reason why tho matter was referred back was because the she was too narrow, and b'eatise' stones had fallen from the overhanging rD-ck on to the site Up-HI wh:ch the building was to be erected. It vvidd be useless to spend £ 400; or CWO in building on a sire which they, as business men, would never use for the purpose. Th Council had a kase- on the place, and ooufd use it for other purposes- Mr Powell: Who is to make secure the preci- pice at that place? Mr W. Owen: Not the Council Mr O. Jones supported the proposal that tho quest-ion should be referred back to the eommitlce, and this was passed. THE W ATElt WORKS. Mr C. Roberts drew attention to the fact that tho service pipes connected with the water unitt were allowed to become charged with tllrf. He proposed that if the Council's work- men were engaged in doing anything to the mains that they should see that the service pipes were kept clean. The Chairman ruled the motion out of order. Mr 1. J- Roberts thought it was the duty ot every householder to keep tho connecting pipe to Ins house in a proper state. 'TENDER' ACCEPTED. On the reeotninundation of the Works Com- mittee, the tender of Mr John C. Jones for stone work at Cumbowydd, was acoepted- VITAL STATISTICS. The Medical Officer reported that there were 23 births and 9 deaths during the month. No infectious disease had been notified during the past six weeks. TEC IINlCAL EDUCATION. The commitfeo reported that the annual re- port of tho o'ganis^rs was oonsidered, and it was resolved to claim the fees that were in ar- I cl rears. The organiser (Mr John Cadwalader) declining to accept pawnent for his service, a cordial vote of thanks was passed to him. According to the Organiser's annual report, there were 133 students at evenin- classes I during the session, of whom 140 qualified for a grant. The estimated amount of grant earned was 1;46 2, bd, The total foe-s received amount- ed to JE12 16s, and the salaries paid were £102 2s 4d. Mr O- Jonas said it was a pity that mere of the young men of the district did not avail themselves of the opportunit- os offered by the 111 asses to improve their education and cul- ture. lie was afraid that, much of the apathy was due to misunderstanding. He contended that it would IX1 ituxo -advantageous i1' local educational matters were controlled bv a Iùccd body, and not by the County and district com- mittees. The separation and division of e-du- cation authorities had done a. great deal ot harm. These powers ought to be placed in tho han-d. of one authority. The. Co-mcil had in- tended to help the scholars who had left the Higher Grade School, but could not proceed to the County School, by providing for them continuation classes at evening schools. This course was difficult to carry out at first, and it was far more difficult now. lie appcal-xi strongly to tho community at large to giv-9 their support to the evening classes- COUNCIL'S FINANCIAL POSITION. According to tho Finance Committee's rQ- port bilk to the amount of E678 were passed tor payment. The oommittee reoonimien<ieicl that three months' notice be given to all the officers of the Council with the v-ew of rear- ranging the offices. Mr Lloyd Powell asked if the Librarian was included Y- The Chairman: Yes, ati4 all other officers except Dr- Jones, the medical officer, who did not. give all his time to the Council. The Chairman added that it must be borne in ruind that H this was being done upon the advise of the Local Government Board, based on the strength of the puBlic auditor's report. Mr W. Owen proposed that 9, special meet- ing of the Council be held on Tuesday, and that the Arrears Committee should present this report to the Council then. Mr Evan Jones seconded- The Chairman; Will it .he an open Council or private? Mr Wm. Owen: Personally, I should prefer it to bo open, but considering the serious state we are in, I think we should rostr:ct the meet- ing to the members- 1 propose that the not- ing bo private- Mr Owen Jones having seconded, the motion was passed, it being understood that the Press would bo funtitshed with a report of the meet- ing. T'he Council were indebted to the bank, after paying bills that evening, to the extern of £ 1253. Mr 0"11 Jones read the figures a, prepared by the (. lerk, and said that such figures showed how very serious^ their financial position was. The committee's report was then passed- THE LIBRARY. Mr Llovd Powell wanted ati explanation in regard to the proposal to spend the ;650t wa.s to the oredit of the library at the bank. Why was it that the money had not been spent on new books? Mr O. Jones said that a reason was given in the committee, and Mr Powell should ac- oept that reason. Mr Powell: The committee were under the impression that the money was at hand, but the Chairman (Mr D- Williams) ruled that we w'ere not in a position to spelld the money. The Chaitman said that everything was clearly explained at the committee meeting. Mr 3v. T. Jones But the list has siuoe been approved by the Council- Mr David Williams: Nothing of the kind. The matter then dropped SHEEP DIPPING. Mr C. Roberts earnestly appealed to the Council to help the farmers to have an amend- ment made in hhe Sheep Dipping Regulations issued by the Board of Agriculture- Mr Ro- berts pointed out the los-s, trouble and annoy. ance caused to fariyier3 by the present regula- tions. Tho majority of the Council did not think that they had any authority to interfere in the matter. MARKETS AND FAIRS. Mr C. Roberts proposed that the Council should proceed to establish markets and fairs at Blaenau- It was a. very oemmodiouis phce for such purposes. lilin Festiniog was intro- ducing new improvements. Why could not Blaenau do the iJame Ý Mr Roberts proposed that a eub-oommittee should be appointed to consider the matter. L Mr Powell seconded. Mr Owen Jones It has been already passed, and perhaps it will be carried out some time before the millcnium I (laughter)-

Mr Asquith has replied to Miss C. Pank- hurst that he has nothing to add on the sub- ject of the women's franchise. Militant meth- ods are again threatened, and the Cornell's Social and Political Union are considering what action to take in order to bring the neces- sary pressure to bear on tha Government.

SYLVAN FETE AT LLAN- DRILLO. IN AID OF A WORKINGMEN'S INSTITUTE. DELIGHTFUL AND SUCCESSFUL PRO- CEEDINGS, With tha very good object of providing' a workinguKn'» in'.tit.ute in the village the tireless Vicar of Llandrillo, assisted by a few equally conscientious and encirgetic f sends, promoted a tsyiva-ti fete in the ancient and historic old ruins of B vn Euryn, 011 Thur^dify and Friday. Happily, the w amor was propitious, aud the proceedings throughout were of a delightful and the-roughly successful character. OIL both days large crowds attended, ttid it was seen apparen*; that ihe Vicar's hopes that the pro- ceeds would amount to £ 200 were in a large in-eai-uro justified The arrangements were perfect, and the at- tractions included two performances daily of Edir-foi Fyohan." a playlet written by the Vicar with a Welsh her, of the "12th century, who lived in Llys Euryn, as his principal subject- Other attractions included palmistry, schooling and putting competitions, cocoa-nut shies, ing Aunt Sallies," tug of war draws, fishing' pond, etc In addition there were a number of slllb heavily la-dee, with useful goods, which were offered for sale by a number of moot in- dustrious ladtes. Thursday's opening ceremony was performed in ni-osi. delightful weather by lrø Wood, of Aberhod. EXPLANATORY. The Vicar, in explaining the object the proceedings, said it was to raise money for the purpose of buddinar rootle for their men, in the form of a men's institute. As they were aware, when Colwyn Bay was cut off from Llan- drillo it had been left all by itself, so to sjieak, there be'.ng nothing but the church. The first thing1 they had done was to build a Church room, and all agreed that it was a commodious and beautiful building. When he first came into the district tho population was "nothing as compared with to-day." and lie had been struck with the scarcity of the male sex. On his second Sunday he asked a friend, "Wrhero are the men?" "Oh." was the reply, "they are all here except one, and he is bad with rheumat- "ism" (laughter). Since then the number had increased so considerably that they felt tiiat they should do something for them. Someone would say, "Why not use the Church- room?" The reply was that the room waa used for entertainments, etc.. during the winter evenings, and they found they could not use it for i. Itio men, for if t,hey ,put up tables, etc., for games they had to bo continually moved. They found that they must have rooms for the men themselves, and last winter they had determined to arrange a scheme to Taise the necessary money (hear, hear). The men were exceeding- ly keen, and were doing their utmost, as the arrangements that day showed. They had made calls a time ago upon the people in the parish for the expenditure on the tower, aud ,iow they were following immediately upon it with thia call. They felt that with the sylvan fete they might possibly make the sum required at "one fell swoop" (hear. hear, and laughter). Thev had already obtained nearly £ 100, but another £ 200 was required. He was sure when thev knew what had been done in the past, that this amount would be raised with- out further effort. Last year the men had only bee.n able to meet two nights a week, and he could assure thClll that they greatly appreciated that. They should, therefore, do their best to back up their endeavours to push forward the good work (applause). Mis Wood then stepped forward, and said: "I hope you will go away with empty purges. full hand's, and satisfied hearts, and 1 now de- clare the fete open" (cheers). Business-was eoon in full swing. THE PLAY. The performance of "Ednyfed Fychan" was heartily appreciated, each entertainment being attended by large audiences. The piece was played in the ruins of Llys Euryn (the scene of the* story), and from start to finish the perform- ance proved most interesting, the artistes in the majority of cases displaying no small amount of talent. Especially should mention be made of Miss Gwen Bostock, as "GwenUían," and the Rev. J. M. Pricc as "Ednyfed Fychan." These two bore the brunt of the work, and right well did they carry it through. Miss Edith Clint, as "Megan," gave every satisfaction in a difficult part, and the same can be said of Mr Vallance, as "lorwerth;" the Rev. T. E. Timothy, as the "Priest;" Dr. Matthews, as "Gwiiym," and Mr P. N. G. Holmes, as "Madoc." A notable fea- ture of the performance was the remarkably clever acting of the children taking part. The young actors of Llandrillo have often pleased audiences from time to time, but none more so than did Effie Tozer, Doris Roberts. Nora Hemp- hill, and Arthur Roberts, on this occasion. In addition to the principals there were al.} peasants and court ladies, the full caste being M follows: "Ednvfed," Prince and general of "Llewelyn the Great," Rev. J. M. Price; "Hywel," son of Ednvfed, Doris and Arthur Ro- berts; "lorwerth," temporary Governor during Prince Ednyfed's absence, Mr Vallance; "Gwilym," confidential servant and armour bearer of the Prince, Dr. Matthews; "Madoc," boatman and fisherman, Mr P. N. U. Holmes; "Peasants," who biing the news of the devasta- tion, Mr J. Walker, Mr H. Gale; "Priest," one of the monks of Rhos Fynach, Rev. T. E. Timothy; "SIyfanwy," daughter of Prince Ed- nyfed, Nora Hemphill, and Effie Tozer; Megan, trusted old nurse in the family, Miss Edith Clint; "Gwenllian," the Lady Gwcnllian, wife of Prince Ednvfed, Miss Gwcn Bostock; court ladies, Miss Rachel Hughes, Miss Nellie Roberts, and Misses Hewitt; the hidden choir, Llandrillo Church CHtsb'. Tea was provided in a large marquee during tho afternoon. STALLHOLDERS. The following were in chargo of the various stalls and amusements :— Men's Stall: Mr Brereton, Mr R. Barlow, Mr C.

Something came down and hit Owen oa the head, causing him to fall and roll down to whor3 he (witness) stood. Owen felt oa lua back, and appeared to be dead- Witness call- ed on James Harries and Hugh Jones to ren- ON help, and they carried the deceased to tba cabin. By Mr G. J. Williams: F.
