MACIIVNLLFTH Appointment.—Mr,. David Gillart, of t.he firm of Messrs. GiH&r.t and Sons, auction- eers, has been appoiiitcd agent to the Garthgwynion Estate, recently purchased by Mr. Owen Owen. of Liverpool. Air. Gillart is also the agent for the Cwmrhaiadr Estate. Obituarv.—The death took place on Wed- nesday in last week of Mr. Thomas Davies, "The Bakehouse." Maengwyn-street, at the ace of 47 years. Deceased, who had been in the employ of the Cambrian Railways Co. for many years, was a well-known figure at the shed." The funeral took place on Sunday, and was largely attended; the Rev Cunllo Davies, in the absence of the Rev. Fred Davies. officiating at the house and graveside. He leaves to mourn their loss a widow, four daughters, and two sons, with whom the dee-pest sympathy is expressed. Civil Service.—Mr. T. W. Phillips' name figures amongst the very few highest names 11 on the list issued on Friday last by the Civil Service Commissioners for their First Class Appointments. Mr. Phillips has secured such a position on the list as entitles him to choose his appointment in the Home Colonial or Indian Service. The triumphs which Mr Phillips gained, when lie was a pupil at the Machynlleth County School are still fresh in the minds of the people of this district. This latest achievement of the Cemmaes boy is only the natural climax to his bril- liant career at school and at the University. Golf.-O-n Saturday the Machynlleth Golf Club brought their first year's work to a close by completing their contest for the first autumn Challenge Cup. At the com- mencement 'of the day's play Mr. Eldred Davies was 5 up (on bogey); Mr. Macdon- ald was 1 up, Mr. J. I. Jenkins was 1 down Mr. J. G. Jenkins was 2 down, Mr. J. Pugh was 3 down. Other prominent players were too far down to be in the running for the cup on the second day. The weather was excellent, the light was perhaps too strong in playing one or two holes-the greens were in good condition, and some well-judg- ed puts were brought off. At the close of the day Mr. Eldred Davies had achieved a handsome victory, fairly out-classing his opponents. He finished 9 up whilst the run- ner up finished all square (with bogey). Mr. Davies playedmost consistent game—18 holes in 98 and97 (bogey 96) on the two days The Institute.—A few faithful friends managed to keep the doors of the Institute open during the summer months, and they now reap a reward of satisfaction for the season of long nights has again come round, and a large number of young men spend the long evenings at the Institute. A billiard handicap was played on the new table last week, and J. 0. Holt was the winner after a most exciting finish. The rooms have been well laid out for a pleasant winter session, and they are very comfortable. The young fellows who frequent it seem to take more audi more interest in it, and it is a thousand pities that some form of mental recreation cannot be provided for them at the present Institute. The Institute has also decided to form a Football Club, which we hope will flourish under the guidance and support of influential friends connected with the In- stitute. Mr. Eldred Davies has been ap- pointed captain of the team Mr. Jno. 0. Holt, vice-captain, and Mr. D. Davies, secre- tary. The opening match of the season will be played on Mr. Micha's field next Satur- day against the Aberystwyth Corinthians. Diolchgarwch.

Town Council
Town Council INCORPORATION OF ST. DOGMELLS. SURVEYOR'S ESTIMATE. A special meeting of the Town Council was held on Monday morning at the Guild- hall for the purpose of considering the sur- veyor's report and estimate of the proposed work at St. Dogmells. The mayor (Mr. T. Watkins), presided, and there were also present Aldermen J. C. Roberts, and A. Clougher Councillors J. Daniel, E. Mathias, T. H. Williams, J. Evans, W. Bowen, A. Harper, and E. Ceredig Evans, with' Messrs D. M. Jones (town clerk), and T. Bowen (surveyor). No Tenders. The Town Clerk reported that he had re- ceived 110 tenders for supplying now incan- descent lamps. It was resolved on the motion of Mr. T. H. Williams, seconded by Mr. J. Daniel, that the Oouncil should pur- chase lamps from outside firms. A Censure. Before proceeding with the agenda Mr. J. Daniel asked whether the press were at liberty to report the surveyor's report res- pecting St. Dogmells. His own. opinion was that it should be published. At the last meeting the press were asked not to report it, and although the local press paid respect to their wishes the report appeared in a Cardiff paper, and both gentlemen of the local press denied having sent it. It must, therefore, have been sent by a. memjber of the Council, and he was surprised at it. It was a downright insult to the Council. He proposed that, the press be allowed to report the proceedings. Mr. J. Evans seconded. Mr. Daniel thought they ought to protest against the wishes of the Council being ig- nored in that way. Mr. Mathias remarked that far more ser- ious things had been reported by the local press. Alderman Roberts did not know whether Mr. Daniel referred to him. He simply sup- plied the facts ,a.nd the total amount of ex- penditure. What appeared! in the Cardiff paper was not a report but a paragrauh. He acknowledged the authorship. Mr. Daniel said they asked the press not to report the meeting. His astonishment- was still greater at learning that the chair- man of the meeting had sent the report.. Alderman Roberts said he was not ashamed of anything lie had done. What he under- stood was that they were not to report the discussion. Mr. Daniel maintained that the press understood that. they were not to report the meeting at all, and having 'had that opinion confirmed by the two reporters the discus- sion ended. Incorporation of St. Dogmells. The Surveyor presented, an exhaustive re- port on the scheme for the incorporation of the village of St. Dogmells with the borough, and submitted an estimate of the expendi- ture of the outlay. In view of the interest taken m the matter we publish it verbatim: As requested at. a meeting of the ratepay- ers' of Cardigan held at the Guildhali, I have inspected the drainage system and the water supply at St. Dogmells rural. I must admit at the outset that as far as I can judge, both are far from being satisfactory. As regards the drainage, there is one big culvert running through the main street, but this cannot be called a sewer. It is merely a small stream of water partly cov- ered in, and the water running through this I culvert is used by the inhabitants for wash- ino" and mixing culm, etc. There are several other rubble culverts in different parts of the village for carrying off surface water from the streets which, if suitable from a structural point of view for carrying sewage, their position is such that only a few house owners would be able to connect their drains with the said culverts. There is however one newly constructed sewer at Glanteifioai serving the houses situated at Union-terrace. It is constructed of 6in. earthenware glazed socket pipes. If the whole of this part of the village was drained into this sewer, it would be too small and would have to be enlarged. After carefully inspecting the different parts of St. Dogmells my conclu- sion is, that it is without even a fairly re- liable system of drains or sewers except, the one already referred to that drains Union- terrace. I am not. going to say that St. Dogmells village should be drained, nor that it should not be drained, but one thing I should like to say, that sanitation is an important question these days, and is be- coming more important daily. Some may ask what calls for more drains and sewers at St. Dogmells than what already exists, they having no w.c.'s attached to their houses. We have to bear in mind that drains are not constructed for carrying away the contents of w.c's only, but for carrying away all liquid refuse, and according to the best authorities on the question, the latter differs very muohi from the contents of a w.c. after fermentationi and putrefaction sets in. Every house in St. Dogmells has its liquid refuse as in all other places, and the only mode of disposing with this liquid is by de- positing it on ground near dwellings or upon the surface of the garden attached to the dwelling-house. The atmosphere of a house with itsi surroundings saturateclt with this liquid refuse cannot be a healthy one. I hlave prepared an estimate of the cost of a drainage scheme that would in my opinion meet the requirements of St. Dogmells. It is the cheapest possible, but the scheme would probably not meet the requirements of the Local Government Board as it does not pro- vide for any system of sewage disposal works, the sewage. in this crude state would flow in, to the tidal waters of the Teify at the two outfalls, one at Pinnog and the other at Glanteifion. There is no necessity of con- structing sewers of large dimensions to cope with storm water from. the street gullies, etc., excepting whkt would be sufficient. for flushing the sewers. Street gullies for storm water could be connected with the culverts already in existence. Then followed the Surveyor's estimate of the work which he re- garded as necessary to be done, amounting to £ 721 12s. 6d. As I have stated already, I have also inspected the water supply of St Dogmells. There exists three different sys- tems of water supply in the village, and there are some parts which are not- supplied by t. eithier of these systems. The chief system i's the one that supplies High-street, the upper part of Feidrfawr, and the middle por- tion of the village. The source of this sup- f)ly is on the brow of the hill behind the road eading to Penality dref. The water is stor- ed at the source over night in a brick cis- tern arched in, capable of holding I should say five or six thousand gallons. The water is, I am informed, conveyed from this cis- tern by an inch lead pipe to the several pub- lic taps placed at different, points in the streets from which the inhabitants draw their supply. I wish to avoid any statement Which I am not able to verify but from in- spection I can but say the supply appears to be a limited one. The second system is the one that supplies the upper part of the vil- lage and Bankshonsaer. The source of this system is not far from the first. The cistern here also is built of brick, but much smaller than tlie one already mentioned, and the water is conveyed in a lead pipe to the public taps on the side of the roadway from which the consumers are supplied. The third system is the one that supplies the lower portion of Feidrfawr, and Glanteifion. The source of this system is a. spring near Oapel Degwel and the water therefrom is also con- veyed in a lead pipe to the public taps on the roadside. Such a water supply for a large and important village like St. Dog- mells cannot in my opinion be considered satisfactory. The mode of distribution, and the quantity of water available, is not such as should be provided for a village so thick- ly populated, the smallne-ss of the mains and the limited supply of water precluding any householder from taking advantage of water and laying on to their own premises for necessary purposes. The water supply should be at least 15 gallons per head which is far from being the case. To my know- ledge, there is only one source fro/L which an ample supply of water can be procured for the St. Dogmells village, and that is from the B'iaenwaun district. The water available from the different springs in this neighbourhood is ample and I have prepared an estimate of what in my opinion it would cost for providing St. Dogmells with a good supply of water. The upper portion of the village can be supplied from the present source' The following is the estimate:— 1,584 yards of 3 inch cast iron main from Blaonwaun to TrefFynon at 3s. 8d. per yard including all labour and material t257 8s; 572 yards of 3 inch cast iron main from Treffynon to roa dleadin.g to Penalltydref f92 19s. 484 ayrds of 2 inch main for Feidrfawr at 2s lOd. per yard -C68 lis. 4d.; 220 yards for Penalltydref road £ 31 3s. 4d. 296 yards for Bankshonsaer TC41 18s. 8d., 264 yards of i lead pipe for the mill district and Alltfach at, 2s. per yard £ 26 8s. build- ing a reservoir to hold from 10,000 to 12,000 gallons £ 100, valves, taps, etc., £ 56 10s., total £ 674 18s. 4d. I have nothing further to add with reference to the lighting, etc." The compilation of the report was con- sidered very satisfactory. The Mayor said it was a question for them to consider whether a public meeting should be called. Mr. Daniel did not think they could pro- ceed as it was intended for a public meeting. They could consider it in the meantime for the public meeting. The Mayor s;-id all he desired them to do was to be in a position to recommend to the ratepayers to take it over, and what they were going to do. Mr. J. Daniel observed that there were 2 or 3 things in the report calling for atten- tion. It would be very unfair to saddle the villagers with the expense from Blaeinvaun to Treffynon. As regards the drainage they could modify the scheme and extend them periodically Mr. Mathias said that before they pro- ceeded they must get the consent of the Local Government Board. The scheme might be twice the amount, and the work might have to be done straight off under the Board's supervision. Mr. J. Evans said that with regard to the water supply he did not think that ought to bo considered at, all as that would pay for itself. It would be a very good thing if the d rai nag > was carried out by degrees. It was not necessary to do it at once, and the villagers would be satisfied if it was carried out bit by bit.—On the motion of Mr. T. H. Williams, seconded by Mr. J. Daniel, it was agreed to submit the leport to a public meeting to be held on the 17th inst. J Bve-laws. Alderman Clougher moved the adoption of the bye-laws and Mr. T. H. Williams second- ed.—The Mayor disagreed with a clause which compelled ligiits to be fixed upon vehicles unattached in the street between one hour after sunset and one hour before sunrise.—.Mr. Daniel remarked that the police would not act once they gave latitude. —Mr. J. Evans also thought it was unreason- able, as farmers would then have to buy I three or four lamps every year.—The Mayor complained of street obstruction and said he had seen eases outside Mr. Daniel's shop in I the gutter.—Mr. Daniel explained timt one of the cases contained a piano, and there were two or three crates. He was at the time looking for a. ,oil to take them away. —Mr. Mathias.- also disapproved of the word "Shout" included in the bye-law relating to saler, by street vendors, and this word and the bye-law as to lights were deleted. Pavements The Surveyor intimated that a number of per&ons in Pendre were desirous of making a concrete up to the walls of their houses, and he suggested a charge of 2s. 6d. per square yard.—Mr. Daniel moved and Mr. Mathias seconded, a charge of 3s.-Mr. John Evans, in proposing a charge of 2e. 6d. con- tended that the Council ought to do it.- Alderman Clougher seconded, and Mi* Evans' proposal was carried. .■■11 'i, 1

The Pvgmies.—These interesting little people from the Ituri Forest, South Africa, gave several receptions at the Coliseum on Friday and Saturday last. There were six of them—four males and two females-and their history, manners, and customs were fullv explained. They also went amongst the "audiences, and had coppers freely be- stowed upon them in return for handshakes. They concluded each performance with a war-dance. St. Michael's Bazaar.—Although the ac- counts relating to the recent bazaar in aid of the completion fund of the Parish Church are not yet settled it is known with certainty that a very substantial sum, very nearly ap- proaching, if not actually attaining the £ 1,000 asked for, will be available for addi- tion' to the fund when the necessary expenses have been met. Sums for the sale of tickets have yet in some instances to be sent, ll: and on Friday evening the committee will meet, when a balance sheet will be drawn up. Fire.—On Wednesday night in last week a fire broke out at Fountain Court, T're- fechan, at the house of Mrs. Goniall. Chief Constable Williams (Capt. of the Fire Brigade) and Supt. Jones (the deputy captain), who were at the Police Station when the alarm was given, immediately pro- ceeded to the scene on their bicycles. The fire had obtained a good hold of the premises, and seeing that it was impossible to save then the Brigade directed its attentions to the safey of the adjoining houses. In this they were successful. Mrs. Gornall's house was completely gutted. Town Council Election.—The November election will soon be upon us. The retiring members are Messrs. Daniel Thomas, J. Bar- clay Jenkins, Isaac Hopkins, and J. Gibson. The possibility of a contest, seems very re- mote. Neither of the two political parties has yet met to adopt their candidates. We understand that pressure has been brought to bear on Captain G. Fossett Roberts D to contest a seat, but that he has definitely declined to stand. Mr. Robert Doughton and Mr. J. T. Davies aie mentioned for the office of Mayor. Water for the Railway.—The Cambrian Railways Company are carrying out import- ant work to secure an adequate supply of ir ks water for their locomotives, etc. As is well- known, they have been inconvenienced by the shortage which occurs during the summer months. They have already doubled the oapacity of the storage ta';k at the Rail- way Station, and bv next summer will have it connected by a line of pipes with a well which is being sung near the Gas Works This will make the Company entirely inde- pendent of the town supply, and, of course, they will cease to pay the t40O or C-500 per annum, which they have hitherto been charg- ed for the water consumed by them. 0 Harvest Thanksgiving.—The congregation of the English Baptist Chape!, Albert-place, celebrated their harvest thanksgiving ser- vices on Sunday last. The chapel had been prettily decorated b\ members of the con- gregation, and much of the decorative material, consisting of fruit, ficwers, etc, were free-will gifts. The pastor (Rev. T. W illiams, B.A., preached special sermons in the morning and evening, and-harvest hymns were heartily sung. At a service in the afternoon, presided over by the pastor, the children sang special harvest hymns. Mr. Radford, stipei-;nter of the Sunday School, opened the meeting, after which the Rev. G. H. Knkorian. a Protestant pastor in Armenia gave an address in "Harvesting in -k,Tr-pnla," v*hiehi was listened to with interest. Mr. H. Eiiis also gave an address. On Monday there was an exhibition and sale of work at the Coliseum in aid of Armeuicoi mission work, and in the evening the Rev. G. H. Krikoiian lectured on "Armenia."

The monthly meeting of the governers of the County School was held on Tuesday even- ing at the Clerk's Office, Portland-st.. ivh-i there were present i-, C. M. Williams {chairman), presiding,; Mrs. Griffith, C'apt. David James, Rev. n. J. RooM.A., and Capt. T. Doughton (Mayor), with Mr David Samuel, M.A. (headmaster), and Mr. John Evans (clerk). The Llanrwst County School asked tin- support of the governors of this school to a resolution in favour of breaking up for the annual midsummer holidays early in July, and that the Central Welsh Board be re- quested to hold the annual examination at an earlier date.—It was decided that the matter be placed on the agenda of the nexl meeting. The Clerk reported the receipt of a c-oov of the honours' list of the Central Welsh Board.—The Chairman pointed out that this year the school only sent in two honours' candidates, and the two got through. They hoped next year the Head'm:!ster would ser,) in eight or ten honours' candidates and get them all through. On (the recommendation of thb Fir.aiv-o Committee, it was dccidcd that grants of £ o each be made to the football and hockey clubs of the school. The Headmaster's re- quisition for 24 single desks was also al- lowed. together w itli a requisition union at- uig to £ 30 for physical apparatus. The Headmaster reported that the num- ber of pupils in the school was 180, as com pared with 13S in the corresponding period of last year. Included in the number were 21 teacher probationers. ST MICHAEL'S CHURCH BAZAAR. THIRD DAY & OPENING. FINAL RESULT. The third and last day of the baziar in aid of the completion fund of St. Michael and All Angel's Churoti, Aberystwyth, i\d.3 opened by Mrs. Steel ("Flora Anne Steel ). Talgarth Hall, Pennal, at noon on lhursday last. The chair was occupied by Mr. J. Francis, Wallog. and the assembled company was a large one. „ In a short introductory speech, -vi-. Francis -said it afforded him very great pleasure to render what little service was requii-ec, l of him in the interesk of the bazaar. He sincerely hoped that at the close, the promoters would find that they had attain- ed the object they set themselves to accom plish. He proceeded to introduce Steel, who, he said, was a well-known and celebrated authoress, and whose name to J.nAh.lrl "nor¡-1 A rmlausp1!. iiiaii Mrs. Steel, in a pleasant and graceful speech, said she had been provided villi statistics with regard to the possible she would not say "ible" but absolutely certain "-cow,pletion of the £ 1,000 Witil- out going into the figures she hoped that the remaining C300 would be forthcoming that day. Aa a stranger she felt she must express her admiration of the fact that they had been able to build a church at an ultimate cost of nearly £ 15,000. Considering their congregation wa& a small one, the building of a church to seat a thousand persons was one of those acts of altruism which was al- ways worthy of admiration. Such, acts re- minded her of a hive of bees, which, when it is at the height of its power, at the ful- ness of its riches, is safe, and the combs filled with honey, forsakes all that, gives up all the fruits of its labour, and goes out in- to the wilderness to found a new colony. Why?-in order that the young generation may begin life absolutely unhampered and without any drawback whatever. She thought a beautiful church was an educa- tion in itself. She. remembered when, as a child, she first visited Cologne Cathedral. She would never forget the forest of pillars, and the light falling on the tesselated pave- ment in colours which seemed to her more hleavenly than the blue of Heaven. She believed the church in Aberystwyth would serve its educational purpose well. It would serve to remind young people of the lessons which it was their duty to instil into then- minds. She could not, since she touched on education, leave it without giving a word of warning to the people who seemed to forget that they were changing the whole world by their educational policy. They were trying to put the State in the place of the parents, and to destroy nature's great trinity-- father, mother, child. It was idle to say they must do this in the interest of the child if the parent was unsatisfactory it was their duty to educate the parent Therefore all such schemes as the present one seemed to be in direct contravention to the law of nature. Before she declared the bazaar open she wished it was shut. She did not believe that when Solomon was building his temple he built or completed it by the aid of a church bazaar. Now-a-days we exchanged a sixpence for a pincushion, and thought we had done a good act; yet she herself was going to try to buy a pincushion at every stall. (Laughter and applause.) h o suggested that the young ladies should make a circle of acquaintances, find out what they wanted, make that article, sell it to them privately, and give the money to the object they wished to foster. Mrs. Steel then form- ally declared the bazaar open. The Vicar, in the name of the church workers and promoters thanked Mrs. Steel for hei-i kindness in opening the bazaar. Proceeding, the Vicar announced that on the first day t440 12s. lid. was raised, ana on the second day E237 Is. 9d., which to- gether made a total of £617 14s. 8d. On the first day he ventured to ask for £ 1,000, cn the second day he saw traces of that sum being secured; that day he felt as bright as the sunlight, for the amount was coming, he could almost put out his hand to receive it. (Applause). There were those who had toiled for the past 16 or 18 years. for St. Michael's. When his revered predecessor wished to found a new church a number were ready to help, and from that time to this there had been an immense amount of hard work, giving, a.nd enthusiasm. The fund amounted to £ 4,290, and all that money I except £150 had beer: raised in Abervstwyth and neighbourhood, while £3,000 had been raised since1 the death of Archdeacon Pro the roe. In proposing a vote of thanks to Mrs. Steel he was sure that the best thanks they could give her would be to make up the £ 1,000—The vote was seconded and carried with acclamation. A vote of thanks to the chainnan wa.% carried and briefly replied to. ODE TO CONSTITUTION HILL.

MR. H. a FHYER RETIRES. Cardiganshire Loses a Valuable Official. We are informed that at the next meet- ingof the Cardiganshire Standing Joint Police Committee, to be held at Lampeter on the 11th inst., notice will be given of the impoending resignation of Mr. H C Fryer, the "County Clerk. The step is one which has been contemplated for some time by Mi- Fryer, chiefly on account of advancing years, but the recent death of his eldest brother, who resided at South Lychett, Dorsetshire and to who-e estates he has succeeded, has precipitated it. Mr. Fryer has been Clerk of "the County Cotmcil and Standing Joint Committee since the inception of those bodies, and he has at all times enjoyed the implicit confidence of the .members. A most capable officer, he has displayed unvarying courtesy in the discharge of the duties of his important Oth-I ces, and his severance from the public life of the county will be a distinct loan, We understand that Mr. Fryer will leave the date as to when the resignation -shall take effect te be determined by the conveni- ence of the nieyitbei's of the County Council. He will continue to reside at Aberystwyth until April or May next" after which time he will remove to -South Lychett.

Gwyncdd Tciiiperai-icc Association. On Wednesday and Thursday of last week the leading men and women of the World of Temperance in North Wales met in con- ference in the little town of Machynlleth, where elaborate preparations had been made to receive the host of delegates that gathered there on the occasion. Every county from Aberystwyth to Holyhead sent its represen- tatives to the annual meeting at Machyn- lleth. Liverpool. Manchester, Rochdale and London branches were also represented by a few delegates. The delegates were v ot 0 1 slow to congratulate the local committee on the excellent provision wliich they had made for the Gymanfa at Machynlleth. The ar- rangements lay most heavily on the should- ers of the local secretary, Miss Maglona Rees, and to her, as such, belongs the lioness' share of honour. The arrangements for the men's share of the work were in the hands of the Rev. F. J. Davies, than whom no local committee could possess a more capable secretary.—On Wednesday afternoon a procession of school children paraded the streets of the town carrying banners and singing temperance songs. Mr. W. Roberts, Council School, with tliose who aided h' dese'ves much praise for the excell p of the children as they marched in o- cession. At five o'clock a children's ""1\;1,6 was held at the Weslevan. Chapel when Mrs. FouIkes Jones, supported by Mrs. Davies, Royal House, President of the local branch N.W.W.T.U., presided. This meeting was a great success; the general secretary, Rev. Rhys Davies, Bangor, knew what he was about, when he arranged for Mrs. Jones (Ceridwen Poris), Fourcrosses, and the Rev. Mr. Edmund Griffith, Liverpool to address the children. At seven o'clock a public meeting was held in Graig Chapel, when Mr. Herbert Roberts, one of the chieftains amongst the temperance warriors of this country occupied the chair. Mrs. Timothy Davies (London) gave a solo at this gather- ing before the Chairman called upon Cranog- wen to address the huge crowd that had come together that, evening. Cranogwen and the Rev. Henry Rees (PNi-Tlheli), roused the meet- ing with their stirring discourses, and great enthusiasm characterised the first night's meetings.—On Wednesday night, delegates addressed meetings in all the surrounding villages. At nine o'clock on Thursday morn- ing was held a women's prayer meeting. At ten o'clock the women, 111 their confer- ence, discussed the work done by the various local branches of their Union, and the plan of their work for the coming year. Miss Prichard (Birmingham) was re-elected general secretary of the Union; Miss Mathews (Am- lwch). was re-elected secretary of the litera- ture department of the Union. Various topics of immediate interest were discussed by the members ot the North Wales Tem- perance Association at their conference in the morning. In the afternoon a united conference, under the presidency of ivir. Edward Jones, J.P., Trewythen, was held in Maengwyn Chapel The most important business transacted at this conference was the passing of a strong resolution, proposed by Mr. Herbert Roberts, M.P., seconded by Mr. Joseph Malins, Birmingham, in favour of special temperance legislation for Wales. Mrs. Rowland (Holyhead), gave a solo at the afternoon Conference, Mrs. Timothy Davies sang at the public meeting in the Town Hall on lhursday right.
