COLWYN BAY NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD. DATE OF GORSEDD MEETING. A very gratifying feature of the National Eis- teddfod movement at Colwyn Bay is the excell- ence of the attendance at the Executive Com- mittee meetings. Time after time members who have arrived a few minutes late have found con- siderable difficulty in securing seating accom- modation. Last evening's meeting was no ex- ception, and one of the first to make his ap- pearance was his Worship the Mayor of Conway (Dr. M. J. Morgan). Mr James Amphlett, the chairman of the committee, presided. The Finance Committee reported that a draft had been prepared of the agreement between the Executive Committee and the general secretary (Mr H. Brython Hughes), but as Mr Hughes had been unable to attend this evening it was resolved that Mr Jos. H. Roberts arranged with Mr Hughes for the formal signing of the docu- ment. The agreement was read, and it appeared that Mr Hughes will be paid a salary of £ 100 for tho whole term of service; five per cent. on all moneys oollected under the heading of sub- scriptions, and that, in the event of the festival proving financially successful, he be presented with an honorarium, the amount to be settled ;n due time by the oommitt.ee. AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF FAITHFUL SERVICES. Mr Joseph Dicken pointed out that, as Mr Brython Hughes would be entering upon his duties at onoe, the Rev. William Hughes, to whose endeavours the arrangements made so far had been so largely due, would cease to act as » hon. secretary to the committee, and also as a member of the committee. He felt sure the committee had no desire to lose Mr Hughes' excellent services—(hear, hear)—and he, there- fore, moved that he retained office as hon. secre- tary. Mr Owen Lloyd seconded. Tha Chairman paid a warm tribute to the work r, ut accomplished by Mr Hii s, and humorously added that-it was.not suggested to give the hon. secretary even an honorarium. The motion was carried unanimously. THE GORSEDD MEETING. Bwlchydd Mon" presented the report of the Gorsedd Committee, who recommended that a permanent gorsedd be provided, and this was agreed to. Another recommendation was that the gorsedd meeting be held during the first week in Septem- ber, 1909. There was a feeling that this was not a suit- able time, and a discussion took place on the point, but after a division the committee's re- commendation was adopted. A small sub-committee was appointed to pro- cure a suitable site for the gorsedd, and to make inquiries for stones for the "'maen llog." I The Musical Committee's report was presented by Mr Llew. Davies. They recommended that "Saul of Tarsus" be the work prepared by the Eisteddfod Choir, and that Mr John Williams, of Carnarvon, be appointed choir conductor at a fee of 60 guineas for 60 rehearsals and three guineas for each concert. This was agreed to without comment, but it was stated that there had been twenty odd ap- plicants for the conductorship. The committee recommended that the following three pieces be the test selections in the chief ohoral competition: "Requiem Mass" (Mozart), "Trip we gaily" (D. Jenkins), "0 wild west wind" (Elgar), and they were approved. The second ohoral selections decided upon were u Gweddi Gwraig v Medd'wyn" (Dr. Parrvi and "Deep m my SkiT aa4 "Deep in IQ 8oaY The choice of compositions for the children's choral competition was deferred. Referring to this matter Mr Trehearn pointed out that as the Eisteddfod would be held from the 20th to the 24th September it would be too late for the children to take part in it, because the schools would have re-opened after the holi- days. He gave notice that at the next meeting he would propose that the Eisteddfod be held from the 13th to the 17th September. Mr William Davies: The same argument will apply for those dates as for the others, as the schools will be open on the first week in Sep- tember. It was decided to invite the chairmen of the Rhyl and Abergele Urban District Councils and the Conway Rural District Council to act on the Eisteddfod Committee. The Chairman heartily welcomed the Mayor of Conway to the meeting, and his worahip, in acknowledging, said that as the interests of Con- way and Colwyn Bay were identical he would be glad to do all he could for the Eisteddfod at Colwyn Bay (hear, hear).

BANKRUPTCY OF A COLWYN BAY PAINTER' Thomas Dyer, painter and decorator, North- wich House, Penmaenrhos, Old Colwyn was publicly examined at the Bangor Bankruptcy Court, to-day week. "Pressure by creditors, bad trade and illness in my family" were the reasons ascribed for his failure by the debtor, whose gross liabilities amounted to L642 108, there being a deficiency of B230 lis. The Official Receiver (Mr Ll. H. Jones) re- ported that .the receiving order was made on the debtor's own petition, which he filed in conse- quence of pressure by creditors. The debtor was adjudicated bankrupt on his own application on the 16th November last. The debtor, who was 39 years of age, was a painter and decorator, and has carried on business at Northwich House, Penmaenrhos, near Old Colwyn, since September 2nd, 1904, having previously lived at Rhos Cot- tage, Penmaenrhos, for about five years. He stated that he had no capital when he commenced business, and about nine years ago he entered into partnership with his brother, and carried on as "Dyer Bros." There was no deed of partner- ship, but about three years ago his brother went out of the business, when a deed of clissolution was executed; the debtor agreed to pay all debts, and took what assets there were. There were no liabilities in respect of this partnership. The debtor was the owner of Northwich House, Pen- maenrhos, in which he resided, which he pur- chased for £ 350, but this was now subject to three mortgages, the first mortgage being for B250, the second for £ 100, and the third to his solicitors for JE45, and he estimated a surplus of 25 over and above the mortgage debt. There was a transaction in connection with a racehorse, in connection with which the bankrupt said: "I was sued by Potts in conjunction with a man named Evans, in respect of a racehorse which Evans bought, but for which I had given a cheque for JE150. That cheque was dishonoured. I don't know the circumstances. In the end; Evans was ordered to pay the costs, but he went to Canada. I can't explain the circumstances. The proceedings cost me j669, which is still due." Further enquiries were being made. The debtor said he had been sued for three or four years, and there had been three executions against him during the last six months. The furniture wafil claimed by the debtor's brother, having been sold to him about 16 months since for 9,60, of which JC45 was in respect of a debt due for money lent and wages, and the balance of L15 the debtor stated was received by him. The unsecured lia- bilities were: Two creditors for professional ser- vices £ 49 9s 9d, one for money lent £ 2, and 14 creditors for goods supplied J6189 15s 3d, total B241 lis, eight debts amounting ,to 9196 17s 9d, exceed £10 each. A SEARCHING EXAMINATION. The debtor underwent a searching examinatio4 by the Official Receiver. He stated his brother dissolved the partnership, saying that he waa going abroad. He, however, did not go abroad, but continued in the same line of business. Ilo did not compete against debtor, but worked for him. Debtor took over all the liabilities of the., partnership, the amount of which he did not know. Neither he or his brother put any, money in the partnership. The Official Receiver; And what did you draw out? Debtor: What we could (la r The one who pulled the moat got the most 7- We were to draw 7 an hour, but we went for several weeks without drawing any money. So it was a bad business?—Well, it was not a. paying business. Proceeding, debtor explained that his debtors would not settle their bills. He agreed that it was a lucky thing for his brother to clear out, leaving him with an insolvent business. There were no books. He sold some ladders to his brother, who had lent him money. At present he was working at the Dolgarrog Aluminium Works. Questioned with regard to the racehorse trans- action, debtor denied that he bought it from Edward Arthur Evans, nor did he give a cheque for it in favour of Evans' wife. He did not have any negotiations with Evans. Did you buy this mare?—I was mixed up in it. I don't really know what way things went. Now, we must have this "Tale of a horse." Start where you like? The Registrar Come on, now. Start where you please. The debtor looked perplexed, whereupon the Official Receiver asked him who had the mare originally? "Potts had it to start with at Rhos," said the debtor. Who did he buy it from ?-From Edward Evans, I believe. Then it was Edward Evans' mare. How long did he have it?—I don't know. Did you see the mare?—Yes. Had you been doing a good deal of work for Edward A. Evans and his father and Potts?—I knew Edward A. Evans well. You knew he was an undischarged bankrupt?- Yes. How did you know that the mare belonged to Potts?—I can't say. Do you know that Potts says the mare was never his?-I don't know that he said so. When did you buy the mare?—I don't know that I did buy it. Then, why did you give a cheque for JB150 for a mare that you never bought. You don't make out cheques for J6150 every day?—I know I don't. How came you to give £ 150?—I don't know. It was a complicated affair, and I don't know what I was doing. The Registrar: You did not intend paying :Cilro?-No, not as far as I could see, because I didn't have it (laughter). The Registrar: You were evidently an inno- cent third party? The Official Receiver: A third party perhaps, but I don't know so much about the adjective, though it might be quite possible. Did you make out a cheque for JE150 for this mare?—Yes. And you were supposed to be buying it on behalf of a Thomas Gandy, a workman at a chemical works?—I don't say that. Well, who were you supposed to be buying for?—I don't know- What did they say to you when they asked for the cheque?—I don't reme-mber the circum- stances. Well, who got the cheque?—Potts. Was it Evans who got you to sign the cheque ? —Not as far as I am aware of. The Official Receiver: Please don't say "As far as I am aware of." The Registrar: You don't send cheques for L150 every day? Come on now.—I don't remem- ber it. Come on now. Can't you explain?—No, I can't. The Official Receiver: You put in a defence in this action. Who was your solicitor?—Mr Morgan. You say in your defence that you agreed to buy the mare on condition that it was quiet in harness. Then you say that you sent Potts a cheque for E150, and took away the mare to try. Did you take away the mare?—I don't remember the case at all. I can't answer you. Were you simply a tool in the hands of Evans? -No, I was not a tool. Then you were doing the business on your own account? The Registrar: You must have known whether you bought this horse or not?—I don't remem- ber. The Official Receiver: Although it cost J,50. Was it a cart mare?-No. Was it a racing pony?—It was a trctting pony. Now, what did an insolvent painter want to buy a trotting pony mare for £ 150. What did you want to buy it for?—I can't say what was my object. You go on to say in your defence that "The mare is unmanageable," and that you requested Potts to send for the mare?—I don't remember now. It's no use saying that. Did you write the letter at the instigation of Evans?—I'm sure I don't know what I did. Did Evans draw out a letter for you to copy?— I can't say. Well, Potts says that all oommunications fox the purchase of the mare were between jou and Evaoet

——11 JLi.jlUHW PEIZE DAY AT KYDAL MOUNT. WESLEYAN CONFERENCE PRESIDENT AT COLWYN BAY. AN INTERESTING ADDRESS TO SCHOLARS. Owing to the indisposition of one of the scholars there were none of the usual outward evidences of enthusiasm characteristic of "speech day" at Rydal Mount., Colwyn Bay, on Friday. Nevertheless there were abundant indications of the satisfaction felt on all hands with the pro- gress made by the scholars during the year. Mr J. L. Barker, chairman of the governors, presided over a large gathering of boys, their parents, and friends,, and he was accompanied on the platform by the Rev. J. Scott Lidgett, president of the Wesleyan Conference; Rev. F. J. Briggs, Mr C. N. Wright, Mr C. W. Ashcroft, and the Principal (Mr T. G. Osborn, M.A., J.P.). HEADMASTER'S REPORT. The Headmaster, in presenting his report, said he was glad to be able to look back on a year of almost unbroken health. Unfortunately, at the time of speaking the shadow of sickness lay upon them, and though there was a slight im- provement in the patient's oondition the doctor had forbidden any applause. He referred to the very sad loss which had fallen upon the school and on himself with especial force, in the death of Mr Deaville. The severity of that lose had been to some extent lessened by the chivalrous I assistance which had been rendered last term by an old friend, Dr. A. S. Way, the well-known translator of Homer and Euripides. At the governors' meeting a letter from Dr. Way had been read in which he expressed in very flatter- ing terms his appreciation of the high standard of work and conduct which he found, and the pleasure which his stay had afforded him. The year's work, the headmaster went on to say, had shown marked improvement in both quality and quantity, and if he could not paint a picture of absolute perfection still it was perhaps as near that ideal as it was reasonable to expect in an imperfect world. He acknowledged gratefully the services of his colleagues, both resident and non-resident, and especially the assistance rendered in games and out of school occupations. In concluding, he extended a cordial welcome to the old boys, and regretted that the inconveniant date had prevented many from being present who would have gladly been there if it had been possible. Mr Barker made a touching reference to his own friendship for nearly 50 years with Mr Deaville, and spoke in the highest terms of his character, influence and professional skill. THE PRIZE LIST.

THE BUSTLING LIFE OF THE FUTURE. The President of the Wesleyan Conference, having distributed the prizes and referred to the work of the school under its distinguished head, said he singularly enough came across in the train a review of a translation by Mr Foster Watson, of Aberystwyth, of a book by a Spaniard in the time of Henry VIII. containing a descrip- tion of a schoolboy of the Tudor period. A striking passage was the description of the way in which parents brought their sons to the schoolmaster. "I bring you this boy of mine," says the father, "for you to make a man from the beast." Nowadays schoolboys when they occasionally used the word "beasts> did not ap- ply it to one another; they applied it to much more august members of their community than even the head boy (laughter). After a long account of the life of the Tudor schoolboy, the Spaniard summed up thus his ideal of education: Good does not consist in rights, honours, posi- tion, or in learning merely, but in a keen in- tellect, wise, mature judgment, religion, pisty towards God, the performance of duty towards one's parents, the cultivation of justice, temper- ance, liberality, magnanimity, equability of mind in calamity, and brave bearing in adversity." He could not help thinking, Mr Scott Lidgett went to say, that the mediaeval Spaniard had given agood definition of the objects of educa- tion which might be set before the people of the twentieth century with as good effect as it was before the people of the sixteenth. In the presence of schoolboys one could not help fore- casting the future, and nobody could think of the future of our times without feeling that those who were being educated to-day would have to pass their lives, if God spared them. in a generation which would have to handle vast forces, which would deal with great con- ceptions, and which in all interests of life would be brought face to face with lightning-like transitions. There never was a time when the human mind had to deal with such VAST POWERS AND PROBLEMS or when changes of all sorts came to men so rapidly. This was true in the work of the Church; it was equally true in the life of the State, and exactly the same conditions, he ventured to say, governed the practical life of business men, and especially of the great pro- ducers and distributors of our time. Therefore boys should be so trained that they would acquire the power of swift, sure, and courageous thought, so that they would be able to face the great questions which would come before them, whether as business men or as Christians, and the rapid changes which came upon the con- ditions of life, with an unfailing judgment so trained to be accurate, and so self-confident in the best sense, that they would be able to deal un- shrinkingly with vast issues and to face with the prospect of success those sudden emergencies and rapid changes of condition which they would have to encounter. Life would not be begun well unless it was trained to live with the great masters of human thought and action. We were I faced with all tha seductions of ephemeral literature, we were incited to pajs our leisure in a round of recreation and amusement, and we needed more and more the high ton the sum taste, the trained habits of readiqg which would enable us to refuse to be attracted t)y that which dissipated our thought and destroyed our char- acter, and to live continually among thoee great lights, those prophetic influences ofifterature, of higher thought, and of history, by whom tha noblest aspirations of human life were con- tinually being inspired. The Rev. F. J. Briggs proposed a vote of thanks to the president far his JQndness in coming and for hi; wise and istatesman-lilts address. This was seconded by Mr C. lq., Wright, an old Rydalian and a governor.

The Registrar (to debtor): You feel that you have been engaged in a discreditable business, and you seem ashamed of it? The Official Receiver: You say that you were not the tool of Evans, and that you bought this mare for your own purpose. Now, did you buy it for yourself?—I can't remember. The Official Receiver (sternly): Well, you must romernber.-I am telling the truth. The Official Receiver: No, you are not telling the truth?—I don't remember. Do you know Mr Gandy. What is he?-He works at the chemical works. What does he get every week?—I don't know. Well, is he a wealthy man?—I don't think so. Did you buy the mare from him?—No, as far as I am aware. Is Gandy any relation of yours?—Brother-in- law. Where does he live?—At Northwich. Why was he brought into the business?—I don't know. Can he draw a cheque for £ 150?—I can't say. I have not seen him for years. Did he aak you to buy this horse for him?— No. not as far as I am aware of. You don't allege in your defence that you bought this mare for Gandy, and you certainly did not buy it for yourself. Now, as a matter of fact, was it not a trick to get Potts' endorse- ment on a cheque for JB150, so that Evans might commit a little fraud?—1 don't think so. Well, that is what it looks like on the face of it. It's as plain as a pike-staff. The Registrar: However discreditable the thing might be it does not affect this case. The Official Receiver: Except that there are the costs. Tho Debtor, questioned by Mr Morgan, Col- wyn Bay, said that he executed a document in favour of his brother, who, at the time, repre- sented that he was going abroad, but he was not aware that he gave him the security. Mr Morgan: Did you execute a deed?-A deed was made, and I am under the impression that it was for JE20. Mr Morgan: Do you know that if you say anything incorrect here, you can be committed for perjury. Will you swear that you did not sign a deed in, favour of your brother for £ 55?— I was not aware that it was for:C55. I was aware that it was for JB20. Mr Morgan: Your memory is very peculiar. Do you remember when you dissolved partner- ship your brother coming to me?—I don't re- member that. In consequence of ybur brother's statement, did he obtain a loan from me?—I could not answer you that. You know that I took the transfer of his security.
