Williams, not seeking re-election. The candidates were Messrs David Thomas Davies, Aberkin, cI<¥k; Edward Davies 4, Glyn-terrace, shoemaker; Thomas Owen, Dolau, joiner; and William Smith, Penmaenmawr Hotel, hotel keeper and corn merchant There were two vacancies in the Pantyrafon Ward with three can- didates seeking favour. They were Dr Herbert Jenkins, Tanyberllan, medical doctor; Mr William Henry Rhodes, M.A., schoolmaster.; and Mr Richard Williams, Vron Villa, builder. The result of the polling was declared shortly after 8-30 in the Panyrafon Ward, the figures being—Jenkins, 176; Williams, 147; and Rhodes, 56. The two former were declared elected. Shortly after, the Capelulo boxes were brought in, and the figures given were-Edward Davies, 39; Thomas Owen, 32; William Smith, 13; and Thomas Davies, 3; Edward Davies being declared duly elected. A large crowd assembled to hear the result declared, but no excitement whatever was apparent.

Marriage of Miss Dew, Bangor. A Brilliant Function. List of Wedding Presents. [BY OUR. OWN REPORTER.] ON Tuesday at noon, Bangor Cathedral was crowded with a fashionable congregation on the occasion of the marriage of Miss Gwendo- line Dew, second daughter of Mr Wm. Dew, Wellfield, Bangor, to Mr E. O. Williams-Mey- rick, eldest son of the late Rector of Beaumaris. The city was en fete. Beautiful weather pre- vailed, and the streelts between the bride's home and the Cathedral were enveloped in bunting, several arches resplendent in evergreens and flowers and bearing appropriate mottoes, span- ning the roadway at different points. Owing to the popularity of the contracting parties, the approaches to the Cathedral were simply besieged by people 'anxious to get a glimpse of the interesting couple. Mr Dew's extensive business ramifications and his per- sonal popularity invested the ceremony with an unusual amount of eclat. The service, which commenced at one o'clock, was conducted by the Bishop (Dr Watkin Wil- li-ams), Dean Pryce, the Rev W. Edwards (the senior vicar), and the Rev Richard WuJams. Mr T. Westlake-Motgan presided at the organ, and the boy choristers took part in the musical portions of the service. The Dresses.

She wore a tulle veil over a wreath of natural orange blossom, and carried a bouquet of orchids, the gift of the bride- jjroom. The bridesmaids' dresses wer-e of ecru spotted nover chiffon and white SHK. The bolero bodices had pink panne fastenings and belts. The hats were. composed of pink roses, lace, and foliage. They carried bouquets of pink roses and lilies of the valley, and wore tur- quoise and pearl pendants, both the gifts of the bridegroom. The bride's travelling dress was of pale blue frieze, the bolero coat of which had a large lace collar embroidered with turquoise and sequins. The large white hat was adorned with pink roses 'and violets, and a long grey travelling coat completed a very pretty costume. The bride's mother was attired in a Ifttndsome gown of black broche grenadine over heliotrope silk, with a. toque of violets, and she carried a bouquet of pink carnations and lilies of the valley. The bridesmaids were the Misses Alicia an Eneid Dew (sister of the bride), Miss Guthrie [Hope Park), and Miss Rhoda Whiley (London). The best man was Captain Jack Davies, R.A.M.C. List of Guests.

Dublin. Cambrian Concert.—The Good Fridav concer under the auspices of the Welsh Church in this city, was held this year in the Sackville Hall. The attraction of a good programme and first- class artistes secured a very large attendance, in fact the largest audience ever seen at a Welsh concert here. The artistes were: Madame Coslett-Heller, Miss Lewis, Miss Lowe, Miss Louie Lowe (violinist), Messrs J. R. Morgan (St. Patrick's Cathedral), R. J. Samuel (Colwyn Bay), I. G. Scott, and D. J. Jones. Madame He ler sang the following in a masterly fashion: "Gwlad y Delyn," "Beloved, it is Morn," "Myfi sy'n Magu'r Baban," "Beth yw Bywyd," and "The Calico Dress." This was the first ap- pearance of Madame Heller at our Welsh con- cert, and her splendid performance fairly cap- tivated the audience. Mr Morgan, who is a great favourite in the city, sang "I am Waiting," "0 Na Fyddai'n Haf o Hyd," and "Good Night, Beloved." His sinking always demanded the highest praise, but we have never heard him better than on this occasion. He is a gentle- man always willing to assist his fellow- countrymen, and they are proud of him. Mr Samuel rendered with malgnificent effect the fol- lowing songs: "The Village Blacksmith," "Merch y Cadben," "The Skipper," and "Father O'Flynn." The last song took the house by storm, and his singing throughout was highly 6 satisfactory. The recitations by Miss Lewis, Northumberland Hotel-"Modryb Sian" and "Trouble in the 'Amen Corner"—were extreme- ly good, and heartily applauded. The reading of "Paddy at Sea" by Mr D. J. Jones was most amusing, and we should like to ha've another trip with "Paddy." Miss Lówe sang "The Star of Bethlehem" and "Forget" with excellent effect, and Mr Scott gave a pretty rendition of "My Beloved Queen." The violin performance of Miss Louie Lowe delighted everyone pre- sent; and the playing of Miss Elsie Griffith, the accomp'ished pianist, was greatly appreci- ated. "Hen Wlad fy Nhadau" terminated the best Welsh concert ever held in the City of Dublin.—COR.

Tal=y=Cafn. The Fishing Season.During the past few weeks the Conway fishermen have been making good catches of sparling, which brought in an average of 2s 6d a dozen. From the reports of the men there is every sign of a prosperous salmon fishing season. Several members of the Sea Fisheries Board were up the river on Monday to see whether it was possible to use a one-inch mesh instead of a three-quarter inch as at present The fishermen are loud in their condemnation of the change, for it adds quite two ounces to the weight of each fish, and the sparling fishing would not be worth fol- lowing up. So spoke an old hand, who is generally fair and reliable;
