Y Ddau Drebor Aled." SYR,—Ysgrifenais lythyr maith yn dwyn perthyn- as a'r testyn uchod at yr wythnos hon; ond pan ar ei anfon i'r wasg, daethum i feddiant ar ddigon o reswm dros beidio gwneud hyny. Hoffwn ddweyd dau beth a bydd yr helynt1 hwn ar I en wedyn, mor bell ag yr wyf fi yn y cwestiwn. Dyma'r cyntaf-Nid cywir ar ran "Penv- gogarth" oedd dweyd fy mod wedi myned r. sir Gaernarfon i sir Ddinbych at Afon Aled i chwilio am urdd-enw; na, fel mater o ffaith. nid es i ddim i chwilio am dano i le'n y by-l Canys y bu'm yn byw yn Aled-terrace., Talysarn, am dros ugain mlynedd, ac os oes genyf gartref yn rhywle, yno y mae efe eto. Felly, onid peth hollol naturiol oedd i feirdd Dyffryn Nantlle ddechneu fy n'galw y nTrebor Aled, ac i minau, pan yn anfon engljmion neu benillion i'r wasg, roddi yr enw hwnw wrthynt? Yr ail beth ag y carwn ei ddweyd yw hyn Fy mod yn bawd i roddi cynyg i "Penygogarth" neu rywun arall, i dd'od i'm cyfarfod mex-r, man penodedig, gyda chyfaill neu ddau o bob cchr, ac yna i fyned i mewn i'r achos mewn modd cyfeillgar. Os nadallaf brofi mai myfi cldachreu- arfer yr enw gyntaf, rhoddaf ef i fyny ar un- waith, ar yr amod fod i'r ochr arall hefyd wneud yr un peth. Felly, ychydig o gyf 1 noddiadau cyntaf bob un o honom fydd eisieu, yn ngbyd a'r amser y daethant allan trwy y wasg. Dyna gjmyg teg, onide?—Yr eiddoch yn gywir, Conwy. TREBOR ALED.

The Late D. R. Davies, Glan Conway. Munificent Bequests. By his will, which has just been proved at St. Asaph, by his executors, the late David Richard Davies, Plas Isaf, GIan Conway, bequeathed legacies amounting to EIO,000 to various relatives. The testator gave X6,000 to found a charity to be called the David Richard Davies Charity." He directed his trustees to invest the money and pay the income to a committee to be composed of the rector of GIan Conway, the minister of Bryn Ebenezer Methodist Church, and the chair- man of the GIan Conway Parish Council, who are to divide the interest between the deserving poor of the parish of sixty years of age and upwards. The testator also bequeaths, £ 1,000 to the trustees of the Chapel, towards the purchase of an organ, and zC,,000 towards the chapel funds. He further bequeathed £ 4,000 to the Conway Rural District Council towards the cost of establishing a fever hospital, provided that the hospital 1:1 shall be commenced within five years of his death; but in the event of it not being so commenced, then he divided the £ 4,000—^1,000 going to Dr. Barnardo's Homes and £ 3,000 to the University College of North Wales to establish three scholar- ships for the benefit of young men from GIan Con- way district.

A Colwyn Bay Resident's Great Failure. Mr Skelsey's Examination. Singular Admissions. AT Chester Bankruptcy Court, on Tuesday, before Mr Registrar Giles, George Henry Skelsey, com- pany director, formerly of Wepre Hali, Connah's Quay, and 66, Watergate-street, Chester, and now residing at Colwyn Bay, came up for his adjourned examination. The debtor's statement of affairs, it will be recollected, shewed liabilities expected to rank £ 20,794, and assets (including estimated surplus of securities £ 45,850), £ 47, 602. The cause of failure was alleged to be "owing to delay in carrying through a transfer of mortgages on Dee Estates, chiefly caused by the war and fall in consols." The examination was conducted by the Official Receiver (Mr LI. Hugh Jones), and Mr Davison was present on behalf of the trustee (Mr F. J. Warmsley), Mr Harry Jones being also in court, while Mr Churton represented debtor. Replying to the Official Receiver, bankrupt said a petition was filed against him on September 27 last year by the Bank of Manchester, Limited, their debt being £ 300 odd. The petition was dismissed on the payment by him (the debtor) of £ 100, which sum was obtained for him through a Mr Holland Owen from Mr Charles Barker, who was now a creditor for over £ 2,000. He did not know who Mr Barker was. He first borrowed money from him quite three years ago on practically no security. -Tlic Official Receiver: It is very difficult to interpret that answer. Debtor explained that the security he gave Mr Barker was really worthless. He promised to give Mr Barker a charge, if called upon, upon his Dee ordinary shares. He was to pay Mr Barker 6 per cent. interest. Mr Davison: You are living at Colwyn Bay now ?—Yes. Is the house in your name ?—In my wife's. What is the rent ?— £ 100 a year. Not C150 ?—No. Are you justified in incurring that liability ?—I suppose she is justified in doing what she likes if I am not. What are your means to discharge that liability ? —You know my means. What are your wife's means to discharge the liability ? Mr Churton objected to the question, and Mr Davison did not press it, but asked: What are your means ?— £ 250 a year at present. From what source ?—From the Dee Estates As local manager or receiver ?—Local manager. Have you got any other source of income ?—Not at present,-sir. The examination was closed subject to the usual formalities.

—— The funeral took place on Monday at his home, Penrhyndeudraeth, of Mr Parry Jones, the working manager of the lMoelygest Quarry, Portmadoc, who died last week at the a'ge of :'1' The quarry was closed to enable the 100 em- ployees to attend the funeral.

Gardening Notes for July. Specially Contributed to the Pioneer.' THE following gardening operations, suitable for Colwyn Bay, may be carried out during the early part of this month, the soil being most suitable for the growth of all crops and the climate being exceptionally mild. No other part of the United Kingdom equals Colwyn Bay, as far as its shelt- ered position is concerned. Taking this into consideration, the very earliest of vegetables should be grown in large quantities, both for home consumption and for market. Early vegetables find a ready sale, and obtain good prices. Much might be done in this district for producing early crops, and much waste land might be brought into useful cultivation. I cannot speak too highly of the Bay and its superior advantages, compared to the Midland Counties. Kitchen Gardening. In a considerable measure, the early sowings will take care of themselves, and we may con- sider our anxieties over. My notes for this month will therefore be more brief. I do not counsel the cultivator to rest, but to be ever on the alert. Watering and weeding are the principal labours of this month, and both must be pursued with diligence. Where there is a supply of sewerage water to be conveniently bad, wonderful results may be expected. Sewage, no doubt, is obnoxious to many, and would become a nuisance in thickly populated districts. It is also not easily obtained as a rule. But, for amateurs, the difficulty can be overcome by gathering fresh horse droppings and placing the same in a bag with a little soot, soaking the whole for twenty-four hours in a tub, adding sufficient water to admit of it being tapered down to half-and-half. This will form splendid manure water for all classes of plants, either in the greenhouse or in the openair. The vegetable crops may be given a much stronger mixture. In my opinion, all outside plants should be watered heavily. This is far better than frequent light-waterings. Asparagus should cease to be cut in this district. A great number of gardeners, and amateurs especially, cut their beds too late, forgetting that ¡ the plant must store up material for another season. Wind often does great damage to the late growth, as they are often snapped off at the bottom. Stakes may be placed here and there to protect them. Water, with a little salt added, may be given them with advantage. Broad Beans. Broad beans may still be sown, but they are not much in request in the latter part of the season. A late crop of runner beans will pay the gardener for his trouble, as they are always in request, and I should say that, in Colwyn Bay, with its mild autumn, they could be gathered late in the year. Celery. Celery, being one of our principal vegetables for winter use, should have every attention. It should be planted in trenches, three feet apart. Lettuce or spinach may be sown between the rows, until the celery is ready for earthing up. The best use of the ground should be made at all times. Stake scarlet runners and peas, and sow, for succession, French beans. Broccoli, savoys, and Brussels sprouts should be planted out early, and sown again for later use. Stockwood ridge cucumbers, grown on a manure heap, would give abundance of cucumbers for August, the smaller fruit are the most suitable for pickling. I have seen a good crop of ridge cucumbers grown even in the north of England; they should thrive much better here. Tomatoes. Tomatoes should be planted out either against south or west walls, and in sunny spots in the open ground. Winter potatoes should be finally earthed up during this month. Flower Garden and Greenhouse. All bedding plants should now be finally planted out. Of course, all the beds should have been prepared according to the varied wants of the plants. Sub-tropical plants are not grown to any extent in this district. I should strongly recom- mend them for a trial, as I feel sure they will give the grower every satisfaction. Most parks grow them now. Plant out all hardy annuals and sow biennials and perennials, if not done already. In this district the rose seems to flourish in the most unexpected places, with even no regard to cultiva- tion. I should like to see some grown for exhibition purposes. Sow herbaceaus, calceolarias and cinerarias, and pot out former sowing of the various winter flowering plants. Primulas will give the green- house a gay appearance during the winter. For cutting purposes plant out arum lilies. I The Fruit Garden. Fruit does not seem to be grown much about here. We see in Bodnant Hall, an illustration of what can be done in the district. I should like to see Colwyn Bay horticulturists make a greater effort in this direction. Apples and pears are always in great demand, and especially high- class dessert fruits. The Chester Paxton Society has done excellent work in this respect by giving free lectures on fruit growing. Our fruit walls are greatly neglected. South and west walls are most valuable for apricots and peaches very high walls are suitable for dessert pears,and east walls for plums. Cherries, gooseberries, and red currants thrive best on north walls. Nets should be placed to guard the strawberries and early cherries from the birds, the pests of the fruit grower. strawberry runners should at once be put into pots for early forcing. Raspberry suckers should all be removed, leaving only half-a-dozen for next year's fruiting.

Duke of Westminster and the Liberal Party. THE Duke of Westminster has, says Atlas in The World," taken the most effectual means of dealing with the report that he had decided to enter active political life under the leadership of Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman." Setting aside the fact that Sir Henry Campbell Banner- man possesses no "leadership "outside the House of Commons, the accredited Radical leader in the Upper House being Lord Spencer, few people can have believed that the Duke of Westminster con- templated making his political debut under such unpromising auspices. The report, which emanated from a Radical quarter, doubtless had its origin in the wish that is father to the thought, since in some respects the Duke would obviously be, to borrow Lord Kitchener's phrase, an asset of considerable importance" to the Opposition in the present state of its fortunes. But as it is he 1 '7 has an undeniable grievance against the dis- seminator of a rumour involving so unpleasant and unwarrantable a slur upon his patriotism as the statement that he had attached himself to the author of the "methods of barbarism" slander.

Llanrwst Board of Guardians, THE fortnightly meeting of the above was held on Tuesday last at the Union, under the presidency of Mr E. Jones-Williams.

Relieving Officers' Reports. Mr O. Evans Jones, the relieving officer for the Llanrwst district, reported that he had spent £ 50 IOS. 5d. in relieving 157 paupers during the past z;, fortnight, and the sum of £ 43 was voted to meet the current outlay. Mr Roberts, the relieving officer for the Pentre- voelas district, stated he had relieved 154 paupers, and had spent £51 is. 6d. in so doing. A sum of ^45 was voted him for the next fortnight. The Coronation Celebrations. A letter was read, dated June 20th, from Mr S. A. London, Hendre, Bettws-y-coed, enclosing a cheque to cover a distribution of ten shillings each to those receiving out-door relief in Bettws-y-coed, and of one shilling each to every inmate of the Workhouse in reference to the Coronation celebra- tions. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded to Mr London for his kindness. Several members of the guardians testified to the most hearty way in which the inmates enjoyed themselves on that day, happiness being depicted on each countenance. The Master's Report. Mr W. Jones presented his report, in which it was stated that the inmates thanked the Board for their kindness towards them on the 27th June; also to Mr London, of the Hafodlas Quarry, for sending them is. each on that date. Margaret Evans, of Ribo, Trefriw, daughter of Cae Celyn, applied for Ellen Roberts, aged 38, native of Penmachno, to live with her at the farm, and the application was granted. Annie Hughes, aged 27, wife and two children of Mr T. J. Hughes, Ty'n Llwyn, Nant Bwlch, was admitted on the 30th ult., about 11 p.m., stating that she was afraid of her husband, and could not live with him.—It was decided to allow her to remain in the house, the officials to write the husband. The number ot inmates in the house was 32 as compared with 26 in the corresponding period of last year, and tramps nine. The Sanitation of the House. Referring to the improved sanitation of the house which has given such satisfaction, it was decided to vote a sum of C15 to Mr Wynne, the sanitary in- spector, for his services. A vote of thanks to him was passed, and also a similar compliment to the Urban District Council for kindly allowing him to carry out the work. In reply to a guardian, the Chairman stated the work was excellent, and gave every satisfaction. I
