The Repository of enterprising coa-ehing firm was adsminahly adapted focc show, and afforded every facility for ex- hibitdiEg to the best advantage a splendid collect-ion of dogs, poultry, pigeons, cage binds, and cats. The exhibits, which num- bered close upon five hundred, stated by the judges to show a marked improvement in all classes upon those of the two pnevioois shows,—a fact which emphasises tl1)9 work aoooimjplisihed by the Association during the three years it had been established. It is also gratifying- to note that this year's show was a financial success. Over £9 was taken at the gate, and when the number of tickets said before-band, as well as the entrance fees are aid-dcii, a substantial amount should be real- i8:d for the funds of th.e Association, and should be an eaicour&g«Giiiesi.t foar the oontHmit- tce to sitiil further extend the scope of the Association. The fcihow was held under tihe preeideney of Lady Nay'Lor L-eyland, with thirty replies* opta- tive and influiential vice-pr<3siitients.

Willkims, "Hipper Bangor J. L. F. J. Pike, Peauniaeauaiawr; and H. D. Eli as, Aiesandral road, Llandndruo. A CAT HUNT. A curious incident occurred in the cat sec- tkwx. Just before the judging commenced, it wae found th-at aae of tho cats had escaped from its cage, a.nd after a. search, the animal was found under one Off the tables, and io-nor- tOO the coaxing of the Stewards. ally, it took to flight, end was ciiaasd up and down the show yard, much to the amusement of the spectators. One of tlhe stewards hiav- ing given iip the hunt in despair appealed to Police-Inspector Owen to arrest, the escaped cat, but the genial Inspector declined to in- terfere, and consequently the judging of the eat section had to be abandoned for the time being. Among tihe special prices in the dog section were a pair of breeches, presented by Miess-rs Bradley and Co., the well-known clothiers, for the best dog in the show, exhibited by a bona-fido Working man. The judge was about to award the breeches to a member of the labouring classes, when a tradesman, who, it was .admitted, had exhibited a superior dog, but w-ho, it was held, did not come within the category of "working man," protested, claim- ing that a tradesman was as much otf a. work- ing man as anyone. A protest was lodged, with the result that the ooanmittee, at their next meeting, will be called upon to dcline what is a working man, and who shall wear the breeches. LIST OF AWARDS. DOGS.

RIPARIAN RIGHTS AND SEWAGE POLLUTION. GOOD MEWS FOR ANGLERS. Mr Jius't.ie? Parker gave judtr^cot <n De- cember Gili in the matter of "Legoed Jo.ntes v. Llacrwet Uiban District Council. Jh-e Counctil h.ad been pouring sewage into the river Con-way, to the detriment of plaintiff. The sewage fouled the pain t where he watered his cattle, -asd the fifhing was net improved by the. poihitioin, nor were odours pleasant from sew age deposit on a fhcal which at Low water st-ood o,ut in the channel. The plain- tiff asked for iujuoction, and got it. The defence raised, amccig other points, a. denial that plaintiff wps the owner of the bed of the stream, ad medium iiEum, even though he owned land which abutted on the river. Thev con bend ed that the stream wes tidal at this point, and therefore Crown property, if any; also that the E-cil, if it. belonged to any, was vested in the owner of several fisheries at that spot (to wit, Lord Ancestor). As to this claim to defile, where a riparian is not (or may not he) owner of the toil of the bed of the stream (a.nd so cannot establish "tree- pass as to the bed of the stream bv defen- dants' deposit of alien matter in it), the ruling of Mr Justice Paaker is signiftcant. He said: "I em of opinion that a riparian owner on the banks of a natural stream is, whether he is the owner of any part of the river bed or otherwise, entitled to the flow of the stream past his land in its matural state of purity or undetorionated by noxious matter discharged into it bv others. Anv- one who fouls water infringes his right{! of property, a.nd therefore he can maintain an action without proving that he has been actually drama.ged." Also his lordship laid down that enycae who deposits foul matter into a scream whence it can and does drift. on to a. neighbour's land, commits tres^a-ss. 'Ihere was mne'li ccmfldct of evidence"1 in the case, the Council even denying that thev caused any pollution at all. They also set up statutory aibsaiution for their coaduct, and denied general liability. His lords-hi.p eventually ruled that, though a public body, 2.d taking over the sewage system from predecessors in office, the Council stood, as to rights and wrongs i'n defilement, in the same position as one private individual would to another. He granted an injunction, but allowetd it to stand over for eighteen months, in ciiaer to allow the Council reasonable time to re-arrange their sewage system. The judgment will be welcomed from an angler's poimt of view, also g.efaerally as regards the enunciation of ripaa*.ian rights for uneon- taminated flow past his domain; aho from a tourist aspect. There mav be many readers who at one time or,other" have enjoyed the Email steamer trap on the flood tide frenn Conway to Tre.triw, for Llaiirwst, amd who would regret that the charm of the voyage should be marred by unsavoury depots-its iti th3 upper reaches, where the estuary ends, and the neeh water, stall tid-allv a^ccted and cammed by flood tide, begins to disclose itseilx ■as a. black-blue volume distinct from the muddy bro wn of the lower tidal basin. This •latter"stage of the up-riYcl. is about the most picturesque of all"; the little steamers often rounding points within what ioofks like linnd-shake distance of haymakers in the adjoining v5ater meadows. If the injunction obtained bv Mr Isp-oed Jones s'halii have tlie effect of saving tliase reaches fro.m defilement and desecration the public will be indebted to h.an.—"The Pield."

OBITUARY. eattolt < £ Ougljes, #a«0<n\ We much regret to announce the death, which occurred at his residence, Arfryn, Upper Ban- gor, on Friday, of the Rev. Edward Hughes, who was a residentiary canon of Bangor Caiuedral. For a considerable time past Canon Hughes had been unwell, and was unable to attend to his Cathedral duties, which were undertaken by Csnon T. Warren Trevor. The death of Canon Hughes removes a familiar figure from the Bangor Diocese, and closes a strenuous, and in many ways a remarkable life. He was bom at Conway, and in early life took up the study of natural science, which served him in good stead in the performance of his parochial duties being able, through its medium, to demon- strate to his parishioners and others the advan- tages cf temperance and physical exercise, and good sanitary' conditions generally. In this de- partment of knowledge Canon Hughes was at iirst la; goly s-Jf-taught, but when he had acquired considerable proficiency, he underwent a special o ;'d 1 course of study at South Kensington under Pro- fessor Huxley and Dr. Frankland. He there acquitted himself creditably in biology and chem- istry, and became a Fellow of the Chemical Society. It is sometimes thought that the study of scicnce is antagonistic to theology, but it was while at South Kensington that a casual remark by Professor Iluxley led to what may be called Mr Hughes' spiritual awakening, and undoubted- ly changed his life's career. When lecturing on biology, Processor Huxley remarked that scientists could trace life back to its remotest forms, and then were brought face to face with a Great Caus", before whom science stood dumb and im- potent. He continued his membership of the Chsmical Society to the end of his life. He was a member of the University of London. The pioneer in the way ox popularising science in North ivales lie frequently illustrated by lantern slides in lectures the injurious effects of the con- tinuous use of alcohol on the human system. He was also an mdcnt wppertcr of the anti-vivisec- tion movement. CaJlOll Hughes' first curacy was at Llanllyfm, having been ordained deacon in 1879, under the Rev. Evan Davies, now Rector of Llanllechid, and he threw himself into his duty with that energy which always characterised his oareor. He was given charge of a Mission Church at Penygroes, and in twelve months succeeded in C)eS. getting together a large congregation in the place of the comparatively few people whom he found attending the Church when he went there. He devoted his spare moments to the teaching of science to young men of the parish, and ulti- mately succeeded in passing two of his pupils m the Whitworth Scholarship Examination. A large number of others of his pupils have taken high positions in the professions. While at Bar- mouth Mr Hughes helped young seamen to qualify themselves for the higher marine exami- nations. A COLOSSAL TASK. At the end erf twelve months' work at Peny- groes, Mr Hughes offered the important curacy of Lhmfairfechim, where he had the ad- vantage of the inspiring influence of that well- known Churchman, the Rev. P. Constable Ellis, whom he subsequently might have succeeded in the living. In 1887, however, he accepted at the Iv hands of the Lord Chancellor, the rectorship of Llajoaber with Barmouth on the death of the Rev. John Jones. The Church of the parish being two miles away, and the chapel of case in the town being small and inconvenient during the summer months, in addition to having no architectural features to recommend it, Mr Hughes set about the erection of a Church which would ba a credit to the town, and mainly with the help of Mrs Williams, of Plasmynach, and members of her family, he ultimately succeeded in raising an edifice at the cost of some £ 40,000. The foundation of the Church was by Prin- cess Beatrice, while her mother, the late Queen Victoria, was staying in Merioneth. When the structure was three parts completed it will be remembered that the tower collapsed, almost re- ducing the Church to a heap of ruins, and the task of rebuilding seemed a hopeless one. He, however, again set to work in earnest, and was ultimately rewarded by being able to open for all time a Church which is a credit to the town, a pleasant feature in the landscape, and an ornate and beautiful place of worship. This unfortunate accident was such a shock that his hair, which had been black, turned white, and his health for some time was seriously impaired, but he achieved his great ambition. He also restored St. David's Church in the centre of the town, as well as the ancient Parish Church of Llanaber, and in addition to that, erected a fine and com- modious rectory house, the site being the gift of Mrs Pritchard and family, Tanyooed, Bangor, on a beautiful spot on the north side of the town. A STRENUOUS WORKER. Canon Hughes was a livng example of the fact that hard and conscientious work, with dogged perseverance, will, in the long run, be successful, for Church activity in Barmouth was greatly increased. As a temperance advocate, Mr Hughes lectured frequently all over North Wales, and sometimes in South Wales, and when Dises- tablishment of the Welsh Church was in the air he spoke throughout Wales, and in several places in England to explain the real position of the Church and her endowments. Sometimes he was in imminent danger of personal injury, and on one occasion he received a blood-stained letter saying that if he went to Anglesey he would not come from there alive, and on another occasion he had to make a detour of twenty miles to avoid a crowd which had announced their intention of stoning him on his way from the meeting. During his residence at Barmouth Canon Hughes took a large part in establishing a sailors' institute, which was much appreciated by the seafaring folk of the port. Finding no friendly society of any kind in the town, Mr Hughes Bijrted an Oddfellows Lodge, and ho also organ- ised the Barmouth Easter Monday Eisteddfod. He was also at one time chairman of the Bar- mouth Local Board. He was formerly proctor for the clergy of the Diooesb of Bangor, being returned by the clergy at the top of the poll on the first occasion, and was elected unopposed on the second occasion. In 1889 he was made a surrogate, in 1825 and 1900 he Was elected proc- tor for the D:ocesc in Convocation, and organising secretary to the Church Committee of Church Defemco and Instruction in 1884,and was High Sheriff's Chaplain in 1895. In 1903 the Bishop recognised his strenuous work by appointing Canon Hughes to the resi- dentiary canonry of Bangor Cathedral, rendered vacant by the resignation of the lata Rev. Canon Eleazer Williams, Llangefni, the post being worth E350 a year, but during the lifetime of the Rev. E'eazer Williams it was subject to a charge of S125 a year. Canon Hughes might be regarded as what is known as a "Prayer Book Churchman." His forte was persistence, untir- ing energy and devotion to his calling, and his death will cause a gap in the diocese. He mar- ried Miss Humphreys, daughter of Mr Hum- phreys, Typoeth, Cemmaes, Mont. His only ehild, Miss Hughes, was a student at the Uni- versity College of Wales, Aberystwyth, and she subsequently qualified with honours in medicin, av,d surgery at the London University, and after wards married Mr C. E. Lowe, Sugnall, Ecclei hall, Staffordshire. THE FUNERAL. The interment took place on Monday at Cem- 're. maes, Montgomeryshire. Prior to leaving Ban- gor, a service was conducted at Arfryn, the resi- dence of the deceased, at which the family and the Bishop of Bangor, the Dean of Bangor, Arch- deacon Morgan, Canon Davies, and Mr William Jones, Pendyffryn, were present. The Dean con- ducted the service. Afterwards the coffin was taken to the railway station, and conveyed by train to Cemmaes. At Barmouth, the scene of the deceased canon's manifold activity, a large band of parishioners, with the Rector (Rev. R. Lloyd Roberts) as- sembled on the platform. The final rites at Cem- maes wore impressively performed1 by the Rector (the Rev. R. J. Morgan), Revs. R. Lioyd Ro- berts, Barmouth; C. P. Price, Machynlleth; and D. P. Thomas, Corris. There were also present the Rector of Llanbrynmair (Rev. D. O. Mor- gan), Rocfccr of Penegoes (Rev. David Roberta), and the Rector of Mallwyd (Rev. E. D. Lloyd). Mr D. J. Humphreys, nephew of the late Canon, impressively played the "Dead March." The coffin, which was of polished oak with brass mountings, bore a plate with the following simple inscription: "Edward Hughes, aged 67 years." There were no flowers by request. The mourners at the graveside were the widow, Mr and Mrs C. E. Lowe (daughter and son-in-law), Mr J. Hum- phreys (brother-in-law), and family, and Mrs and Miss Lowe, Shrewsbury. Among the parishioners of Barmouth who came to pay their last tribute of respect, were Messrs Ellis .Morri. John H. Davies, Thomas Griffiths, E. W. Ellis, Watkin Owen, Wm. Jones, Ernest Lloyd, Edward Davies, and Richard Powell. Though it Was arranged to be private, there was a large assemblage of members at the funeral. A memorial service, conducted by the Rural Dean (Rov. J. P. Lewis) was held at 3 o'clock on the same day at St. David's Church, Barmouth. The service was largely attended. The arrangements were in charge of Mr W. O. Williams, Manchester House, Bangor. PULPiT REFERENCE Preaching at Bangor Cathedral on Sunday, the Dean said tiheir thoughts turned that morn- ing to one who had frequently addressed the congregation from that pulpit, but wheae voice was now stilied in death. They recaJJed the vigorous and earnest Gospel Messages he de- hvcred: to tihem Sunday after Sunday during his term of resadfenoe. They know how well he loved the Church of which he was a minister, and how energetically lie upiheld her doctrine amd OOfen-dlcdl her work. To him the* simple plain truth was this one precious thing, and he would brook no compromise. The. beautiful church built during his incumbency of Barmoutih was at stamdilmg iiiesnoriaJ, to the great work he did in that parish. At LJanfairfeohan, too, as well as at Bangor there were many who always spoke of him as a true minister of Christ. The Cathedral organist played with much Mxipnesaveaiess Hacidei's "Dead March," and the choir sang "Happy and Blest" (St Paul).

eljg Sate tattler goilico. On Monday morning the remains of the late Father Jones, of St. Mary's College, Holywell and formerly of Carnarvon,, were interred at the St. David's Fancisean Capuchin Ohurcihyard at Pantasaph. The chief mourners were Miss James, Waltoaxm-the-IHl, Liverpool (sister); Rev. Faihera Paul Hooke, Jar vis, Ry.an., and Corgan (Holywell), Firraoane (Bangor), Righy (Rhyl), and Easfaham; the Vicar of Carnarvon;; Mr M. E. Nee, solicitor, Carnarvon; Mr and! Mrs R-eid (Bangor), with the boys of St. Mary's Col- tege, at wthnih Failber Jones was a tutor. The coffin was covere-dt writID wr&atha. The Requiem Mass »t Pamiasaph was performed by the Fran- CÏBan Capuchin Fatiber, after wlhidh the interment took place in the ehurdhyard.

He was a keen sportsman, and rarely missed a meet of cither Sir Watkin Wyrrn'a or the North Shropshire Hounds, and was out with the latter pack only Ia.st Friday.

LLANR SEIVERAGE CASE. (To the. Ecu tor ei thiB *'Pjoneier.

I wiah to make it quite clear that the urban authority was not in existence until 1897, many wars after the laying of these two sewetr outlets, and that the latter have not been altered aci any way since they were con- structed by the old sanitary authoritv, of which body Mr Isgoed Jones was & mean be-,r, amid the peeme mover in deciding the ticciB of the two outfalls. Many say "Rather than go to la.w why not have accepted the terms offered bv Mil" legoed Jones?" The replv is, theit rt was utterly beyond the power of the Council to out the conditions, if they had been unw,ie,3 enough to accept the offer, for tho reasons which I will sta-te; — (a.) The cl.stance to which No. 1 sewer would nave to be carried is about 450 yards, with only an availaole of one inch in the whole length (these are not my fig-ares, but are taken from the. eviaenoa of plamtJf's witness, Mr C. F. Far- rington, page 55 transcript of shorthand notes of the ease) a practical impossibility. (b) It berng a new outLt and d.cchaiging' crude sewag-o, the Local Governmejit Board would not permit it to be carried out. (c) Assuming for the moment that it was a practical scheme, having th-, consent of the Local Government Board it would be even then a jump from the frying pan into the fire, by creating a fresh nuisance to the adjoining owner, the Rev. John Gower. Now, coming to the alternative scheme, under which the minimum of" c()Doessions" in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 of Mr Isgoed Jones' letter. This called for a proper treatment of the sewage, and the purifying of same, before it would be allowed to be discharged into the river. In other words to buy from him four or five acres C'f land, the erection thereon of purification works, a pumping station to lift the sewage on to the filter beds, etc., at a cost of anything between £7000 and £10.000. All tlÚ to be carried out under extraordinary conditions and limitations—a very gratuitous offer indeed! The letter goes on to say that in any event "the whole of the costs and expenses incurred by Mr Isgoed Jones to be paid to him by the Council." The plaintiff has been living at Plasyndre for the last twelve years, and last year bought the property, an estate of 11 acres 1 rood 1 perdI, seven acres of which is low lying, and bordering on the river Conway, and subject to floods eight to twelve times during the year, when it is covered with water several feet deep. For twelve years, and up to July last the whole of the town refuse has been tipped on this field, the tenant contracting with the Council for the cart- ing and disposal of the refuse, which he was al- lowed by Mr Isgoed Jones to place on,the field in question. It is the river boundary of this field that is effected by the two sewer outlets, causing such a "disastrous injury to my estate." I am informed that during all th= years that Mr Isgoed Jones lived at Plasyndre ho never made a single complaint of any nuisance to him- self or to the property from the sewers. How- ever, on the 1st of February of this year a let- ter was received from Mr solicitors com- plaining for the first time that the sewerage that went mto the river a nuisance, and requiring undertakings that immediate steps be taken to prevent the sewage passing into the river, and thereby causing a nuisance. It appears that this letter was placed before the Council at their monthly meeting, and on the 14th of that month a letter was written by the Clerk asking the solicitors to set out their client's claim in full, and pointing out thai the Earl otf Ancaster claimed the whole of the bed of the river, and the fishing right therein, but instead of receiving full particulars of the claim, the Clerk to the Council was on the 17th of that month served with a writ claiming an injunction, damages, and costs. I In conclusion, the writer would invste those interested to go and see for thcmselvea whether or not the two sewer outlets are such a nuisance as alleged by the plaintiff.—I ai-n, etc.. RATEPAYER.

It is intended to hold frequent lectures and receptions at which there will be opportunities of hearing the leaders of the suffrage movement in other countries, and of welcoming workers in the cause from other iaade. Literature of ill kinds bearing upon the suffrage movement wiL be obtainable at the Club, and it is intended shortly to form a suffrage library and informa- tion bureau. The subscription has beeai fixed at one guinea per annum, ",j,tfu an entrance fee of one guinea on and after January 1st, 1911. A reduced subsercpfcsoii of 1 Ote 6d: may be paid by members resident abroad. Foreign or Colonial members may pay a subscription of 5s for a period not exceeding two morjtibs. The Club has been fctrmcd as a company limited by guarantee, and tlie condition of membership is that no member incurs any liability beyond the subscription and entrance fee, and a sum not exceeding £ ± ia the event of the winding up of the Club during the time tsat he or eihe is a member, V1 within on. yeair afterwards.
