ILirri-on, A. and A. F. Perrin) have Performed their part satisfactorily under some- what difficult circumstances, for, though the are less numerous they have demanded "'ore space than last year, because they are larger. e. ihe outstanding- features of the exhibition are lkknrJallt and Counsel," the famous picture j Vv • F. Ycames, R.A., which has been. on view .In most civilised countries, and Sir Hubert HerKOiner's "Portrait of my Cousin,both of • hioh are splendidly shown in the V idona ltooili. The latter at 01100 arrests the eye as visitor enters the room, whilst the ormcr- *oe biggest canvas in the room—Dccupiea a pro- ttiincnt placc on the opposite side- -Nothing ^ore powerful than the Ycames' exhibit has seen at I?las Mawr of recent ye&rs. Not away from Professor Ilcrkomer's painting is another exceedingly attractive work—"Her «ea.rost"by Miss Constance G. Copcman, one of Mr 'iiinoy's nioo-t successful puipiis- The subject is 4 Spanish mother and her child, and it is in respects, a capital study. Mr James T- atis ■howi a couple of woodland views prepared in nl6 own inimitable style, whilst two river scenes by Mr W. S.

Mr Tom Clough, Glan Conway, has several exceedingly good .P^'iniens, chief amongst them being "April on i e Conway, at Bettwsycoed," which was recently ung |-jie Royal Academy. Miss Clara C. Jin, of Glan Conway, appears to have fewer Xhibits than usual, but she "is well represented b1 "A Midsummer Posy," to bo ;cen in the {^option Room, while Mu A. F. «Tiin displays six, two of which particular are amongst his best product ions. Mr A. C. Meyer, of Conway, has similar number on view, the best of an ar- **tio collection being "Dunstanborough Castle," ^oich has been given a' good place in the Vic- pria Room, and "A Moorland Sunset," it clever jtttle work hung in the Still Room- There are 7*^0 pictures by Mr J. C.

Mr Ben Fisher, of Roewen, shows an interest- and cleverly executed canvas in the Banquet- Hall descriptive of a Yorkshire "beck." A notable picture is "Fresh and breezy," shown the same room by Mr Cuthbert Grund'y, Vl°e-president of the Academy, who, by the is to be congratulated upon his election a member of the Royal Institute a few days o. The cloud effects produced are striking. ~ne of the few successful specimens of por- V^ture in the hall, is Miss Loveridge," by Shirley Slocombe, who has produced a •^autiful expression on a charming face. the Small Kitchen there is a pretty ool- the most noticeable being "Near the gUard," by Mr Cyril Ward; ""Sleepy. Hollow, Sprite," a clever study of lions at rest, by Mr j*°m Hey wood, of. Colwyn Bay; "Ceniaefi Bay," 5^ Mr WaVren WilLialris, of Conway;' "The and. Ben .More," by Mr W. J. Slater, that by Mr Tom dough, to which reference as been already made. Mr S. Maurice Jones, 8t.

The Wynne Room is devoted largely to minia- *^res, black and white studies, and architectural j't Mr Alyn Williams, as usual, claims st- ation at the miniature case. Mr G- A. Hum- Jjhreys, Llandudno, exJhibits a sketch of the j'^osed new home for the Carnegie Free j~lbrary at Llandudno, which shows that Mostyn- ?reet is to be shortly provided with a very ?4Qdsome building.

A MYSTERIOUS AERIAL VISITOR. — A correspondent writes:—About 10.45, on Saturday night a light was seen approaching high up in the air from the direction of Capel Curig to- wards Llanrwst- When it reached a position over the cliff near Gwydr Castle however, it swerved to the left, and proceeded rapidly to- wards Trefriw, when it was observed that it carried two yellow lights, one in front of the other. Owing to the darkness it was impossible to make out the shape of the machine. WThen it reached the Aluminium Works it descended to a lower level, and flashed a light downwards. It then ascended to a higher altitude, and pro- ceeded in the direction of Llandudno Junction, but before reaching the end of the mountain range, however, it swerved again to %the left, and" disappeared over the mountain summit at 11.10 p-m. exactly, having taken about 25 minutes to cover a distance of about twelve miles. Three gentlemen, while motoring from Bettwsycoed on the same evening, observed the machine crossing Bettwsycced, and proceeding in the direction of Cerrigydruidion. As they observed the lights about, thirty minutes before they were observed from Llanrwst-, it is thought the vessels must have returned to Bettwsycoed and followed the mountain range as stated. A PROMISSORY NOTE—Mr John Jones, of Gwernhowe' Uchaf, Yspytty, sued Mrs Ellen Jones, Moeliorwch Ueha" Llanrwst, at the Con- way County Court, on Thursday, under the ex- tended jurisdiction of the court-, for £82 18s 6d, alleged balance of principal and interest due on a promissory note signed by the defendant's late husband. Mr Twigge Ellis, Llanrwst, for the defendant, stated that he had received a not:ce from Messrs Porter, Amplilett, and Jones, the plaintiff's solicitors, withdrawing the action, and as he (Mr Ellis) had attended with his client and. her witnesses at, the courts when the Case had not been reached, he now applied that- the plaintiff be ordered to pay all the costs in the action.—His Honour Judge Moss made an order accordingly. THE EISTEDDFOD—The Eisteddfod mar- quee is in course of erection. The carved oak chair manufactured by Mr J. Wynne Williams is exhibited in Regent House shop window. CONFIRMATION SERVICE—On Friday the Bishop of St. Asaph held a confirmation service at the Parish Church, when candidates were presented from the following parishes:—Llan- rwst, Llanddogct, Capel Garmon, Eglwys bach, and Glan Conway.

The Bishop was assisted in the conduct of the ser- vice by the Rural Dean, and the Rev. f). C. Davies presented the candidates. Subsequently, the Bishop and the clergy of the Deanery were entertained to tea by the Rural Dean and Mrs Morgan at the Rectory. The prominent feature {)If tihÍs year's connnnabon was the large num- ber of adults who came forward seeking the full membership of the Church. This constitutes the best reply possible (adds a correspondent) to the Rev. Evan Jones, who recently declared tihe Church to be the Church of a dwindling minority-" In the minority, theiy may be, but in a dwindling minoTit-y, they are not- WThat was witnessed on Friday, harmonized better with Mr Asquith's remark—that "The Church has opened a new chapter—a new, beneficient, and fruitful chapiter in her history."

Chapel, on Sunday evening, the Rev.

It was not a question of politics but of religion. The disestablishment of the Church of England in Ireland, had proved beneficial, and he ventured to prophesy that ix this measure were passed, the Welsh Church would benefit. The resolution was read: "This meeting of the Calvinistic Methodist Church assembled for divine worship hails with the utmost satisfaction the introduction into the House of Commons of a Bill to terminate a legal establishment of the Church of England in Wales, and recognises in the Bill, an earnest desire to meet the just demands of the Weish nation for religious equality, and assures the Government of the warmest support in carrying this Bill into law.Mr C. Cynwa.l Jones (Lark Hill) proposed the adoption of tne resolut:on, and Mr William Edwards (Boderw), having seconded, it was carried unanimously. PERSONAL- Dr. R.
