Deatb OF lilt. IRERETIITI) EtJans. It is with heartfelt sorrow we record this week the passing away of Mr Meredith Evans, Lawrennv Lodge. With his usual custom, he attended the morning service at the English Congre- gational Church last Sunday, and ful- filled with unwonted energy his duties as sidesman and deacon, but between 5 and 6 p.m. he bad a slight paralitic seizure and spite of the assiduous atten- dance of his doctor (Dr. J. Pugh Jones) and devoted nursing of friends and neighbours, he gradually grew worse peacefully passing away mid-day on Tuesday. A short biographical sketch will appear in our next issue.

He would do all' in his power to fulfil the duties expected of him in a manner that would prove of benefit to the Institution, The first duty he had to perform was a sad one, the cause for which was a subject of deep regret to everyone pre- sent, that was to pass a vote of heart- felt sympathy with the relatives of two faithful members of the Library, viz., Mr C. H. Miers, Lhv/ncelyn, and Mr Willie Williams, St. Ann's. On the motion of Mr Ernest Lloyd, seconded by Mr D. E. Davies,this was done in silence.

The Secretary reported that the expenditure incurred through the visit of the French Journalists last week amounted to £ 5. The Chairman said the Journalists spoke raost highly of their visit, and that iij was the best day they had en route. The singing of the children had touched them immensely, and they were delighted, with the Estuary. Whilst in London last week, ho had seen a copy of ihe French Guide Book just published, and ho was glad to observe that Barmouth had two pages of reading matter, and two pages of excelient views in the guide, It was reported that Mr John Walters, Manag- ing Director of the Art Picture House, and Messrs Pare & Bowden had very kinoly promised to assist the Association as regards funds towards advertising.. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr R G Moore, it was decided that a letter should be sent to all those who had given their assistance on the occasion of the visit ( t.lL.jl,:) L.: ¡{,VJ.

"Sir" Edward Pare, a comedian of skill and ability, indefatigable and con- siderably versatile man, unstinted ap- plause, his several items? were enjoyed to the full, the whole audience laughing u nres! I jned!y at bis excellent humour. The Hon." Harry Bowden is a humor- ist of a very high order, so pleasingly refined, and his artistic efforts were re- ceived with unfeigned appreciation.— Mr Harry Kirk, a comedian with a never ending flow of wit and humour, was in great form, and the audience were kept, in continual merriment the whole of the time he occupied the stage.—Mr Harry Slatter made good use of his cultured voice, and his numbers were especially enjoyable, all artistically rendered and w i  b care wiLlr iiiterpi,eL,t-tion.-Air Chas. Elstree was in his usual good form, and gave one or two exceedingly clever skits. richly funny and artistic. He has a remarkably wonderful, voice which he knows well how to use to advantage.— Mr Bobby Fraser, besides being an ac- companist of exceptional excellence, is an entertainer of ability, and is un- doubtedly a great acquisition to the show. Special mention should be made of the concerted items, particularly "The Chicken Rag" and "The Merry Month of May." The former included a burles- que cock fight, and was highly amusing, and the latter proved a most tuneful and characteristic number, the maypole dance being very effective. The sketch on this occasion, Musical Corsets," was excruciatingly funny, it was one of the most comical we have seen for a long time, and the audience greeted it with volleys of laughter. Altogether the concert was a huge success, and proved yet again that there is appa- rently no limit to the capabilities of this clever company. Their entertainment throughout is highly artistic and well deserving of every support, it would be difficult to conceive abetter working and satisfactory programme. We aie promised programmes in the near future that will excel anything the Mag- nets have ever done. There iS, indeed, a treat in store, The Male Yoiee Choir held their weekly Sacred Concert on the front last Sunday night, when about a thousand visitors and inhabitants listened with rapt attention. A very good collection was made, every penny of which was handed over to two very deserving cases in the town. Messrs Pare and Bowden gave the free use of the chairs for the evening, so that nothing be deducted from the amount collected. These sacred concerts serve a double purpose, not only do they bring the gospel in sweet and alluring strains of music to the hearing of many who cannot be in- duced to attend a piace of worship, but by using the proceeds in this manner they bring a ray of cheer into hearts stricken by sorrow and sadness. The history of the Male Voice Choir has al- ways been that of the Good Samaritan -tall.: is cheap and common, while good actions are rare and precious.
