VISIT OF MRS ORMISTON CHANT. On Tuesday afternoon Mrs Ormiston Chant delivered an address to a large gathering of ladies in the Public Hall, and in the evening the large hall was again crowded by a mixed aUd iellee to licir an address from her on temperance work. The officers and members of the local Good Templar lodge were present and the choir occupied seats at the back of the platform. Mr C. S. Denniss occupied the chair, and was supported by Rev J. J. Poynter, S. H. Terrill, R. Jones, Bissell, W. 0. Evans, Dr Fuller, Mrs Hughes (secretary Women's [ Temperance Union), Mrs Owen (Fern Bank), Mrs Hammond Williams, &c. The meeting opened with the singing of a hymn, Miss Venables and Miss Maurice Jones playing the accompaniments, after which Rev S. II. Terrill engaged in prayer. Apologies for absence were received from the Vicar (Rev Cecil Hook) and Rev T. Redfern.—The Chairman in his opening remarks said there was no need for hi m to offer any apology for using whatever influence lie possessed in supporting such an organisation as that which brought them together that evening. He felt it not only to be a duty but a privilege—(hear, hear)—to associate himself with those who were working for such noble ends as that organisation bad in view. Any work having for its object the advancement of temperance and sobriety should certainly be sup- ported not only by Christian people but by all those who had any influence to wield over their fellow- men. The official position which he had the honour to occupy gave to him the control of a large body of men whose daily labour necessarily involved them with a certain amount of hazardous duty, the discharge of which rendered it essential that they should have clear heads and steady hands if thev were to do their part in carrying safely to and fro over the system of the Cambrian Railway the large number of the public who travelled over their lines day by day and year by year (applause). It was imperatively necessary that those who were thus employed should be men whose reputation was one for sobriety and for temperance and there- fore he considered it was his duty to do all he could to encourage and to inspire those who ware labouring with a view of increasing the number of those who were workers in that noble and self- denying work (applause). So far as his com- paratively short association with the town and district had enabled him to form an opinion, it was a pleasurable duty to be able to say that the Cambrian Railway was one which could bear very favourable comparison with that of any of the large or small railways throughout the country (applause). He believed there had been com- paratively less drunkenness, excess or intemperance amongst the Cambrian Railway men than he had seen anywhere else during his railway experience (loud applause). The severe strain to which the staff had been put to during the recent days by the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to their principality, had been unprecedented in the his- tory of the railways of Wales, and it gave him great satisfaction to state that that strain had been borne by the men by their temperance, by their abstinence and by their thorough efficiency, in a way that had provoked universal praise and which had brought from their Royal Highnesses a letter stating that they had been most gratified with the way in which the work had been accomplished (loud applause). Such a result could not have been attained had not every mem- ber of the staff lent himself to the work with a clear head, with a steady hand and with a deter- mination which could only be attained by sober minded men, to do their duty faithfully, loyally, and well (applause.) Another reason which en- hanced the pleasure he felt in being present that evening was because of the presence of a lady whose reputation extended from one end of the land to the other and beyond (applause) whose self denying efforts, whose noble example, whose splen- did achievements had made for her a reputation which was well earned. Mrs. Ormeston Chant had done Oswestry honour by coming there that even- ing (applause) and he felt it an honour to be there by her side (loud applause.) The speaker con- tinuing spoke of the necessity of those who were in sympathy with the work taking a more active interest and giv- ing more definite expression to their disap- proval of intemperance and excessive drinking and cOn-ulude&uovy-oloquent -address by intimating that any who wished to sign the pledge would be allowed an opportunity at the close. Miss Manrice Jones gave an excellent rendering of The Holy City," Mr J. Ollerhead playing the accompaniment. Mrs Chant was then introduced by the Chairman and gave an excellent address on temperance work, illustrated by many anecdotes of an auto-biograph- ical nature. She spoke of the necessity there existed for drinking fountains at railway stations, and of the increased accommodation required for travellers on temperance principles. As an enthu- siastic cyclist she advocated the establishment of places of refreshment for cyclists in towns where refreshments could now only be had at public houses, and briefly alluded to her famous crusade against the Empire Music Hall in London. A col- lection was afterwards taken, and the meeting was brought to a close by the singing of a hymn and the pronouncing of the benediction bv Rev J. J. Poynter.
