OPENING OF NEW WING OF INFIRMARY.
OPENING OF NEW WING OF INFIRMARY. I GIFT OF MR. ALBERT WOOD. I The King and Queen left London for their I tour in Cheshire on Tuesday afternoon. Their Majesties had a cordial greeting on arriving at Huston Station, where a ^arge crowd had gathered, and were received on the departure platform by Sir Gilbert Henry CI aught on, chairman of the London and North-Western Railway Company, Colon-el Lockwood, M.P., a Director and Sir Robert Turnbull, general manager. In attpndanco were Lieutenant- Colonel tho Hon. Sir Harry Legge, Major Ciive Wigram, and Lady Eva Dug-dale. Sir Edward lieury, Commissioner of Metropolitan | Police, was also on the platform. The King and Queen entered into conversation with Str Gilbert Oiaughton and Colonel Lockwood, and lis Majesty also spoke far a short time to Sir Edward Henry. Their Majesties then entered the King's saloon and remained stand- ing in the vestibule while the train moved out. The Queen's saloon was decorated with mauvo orchids, lilies of the valley, and maidenhair fern, and that of the King with red rcr.es. Sir Robert Turnbull, who has made all arrangements for the tour, travelled on the train, which left for Huyton at a quarter past two. Their Majesties arrived at Huyton Station on Tuesday evening at ten ininute6 past six, and were met by their host, the Earl of Derby The station was decorated with paims and bunting, ard there was a small gathering of people outside, but otherwise the arrival was entirely without ceremony. Lord Derby escorted his Royal guests to the motor-cars, which drove off without delay to Knowsley. The guests who had been honoured with in- vitation* to meet their Majesties at dinner at Knowsley on Tuesday evening, besides members of the family, included Lady Isobel Gathorne-Hardy, Lady Wolverton, Mrs Bassoon, and Lord Herbert Vane-Tempest. INTERESTING CEREMONIES. I Ideal weather favoured the departure of the King and Queen from Knowsiey on Wednesday, Their Majesties left Huyton by train in the morning, and arrived in Chester at 12.15. The Royal train came almost to a standstill at Frodsham Station. and among those who congregated to give their Majesties a loyal re- ception were a large number from the famous jam manufactory of Messrs Kydd and Ivydd. v "The assembly consisted mainly of girls and Women, who made quite a striking picture i 1 their pink over-alls and looked very smart and neat. Chester kept holiday in honour of the visit of the Sovereign and his Consort, and people from the surrounding country districts joined with tho townsfolk in according the Royal couple a Loyal enthusiastic welcome. Bunting, flags, and other decorative material gave ex- pression of the happiness of all classes at "7'' the King' and Queen oin f their midst. Their Majesties, who were accompanied by tho Earl of Derby, were met at the General !Station, which was beautifully decorated, by the Duke of Westminster (Lord Lieutenant of jthe Countv, the Mayor and Mayoress (Alder- !man and Mrs J. M. Frost), the Sheriff (Mr John Dodd), the Town Clerk (Mr J. H. Dick- eon), and the High Sheriff of Cheshire (Mr Alfred Watkin). The Lord Lieutenant presented to their Majesties the Mayor and the High Sheriff, and the Mayor presented the Mayoress, the Sheriff, and the Town Clerk. General Sir Henry Mackinnon, K.C.B. (Major-General Commanding in Chief Western Command), and Major-General the Hon. J. E. Lindley (com- mandinig the Welsh Division Territorial Force) and their respective staffs were in attendance. A bouquet was presented to Hex Majesty by Master John Meadows Froet, the Mayor's grandson. The Nlayer and Mayoress, with the Sheriff and Town Clerk, headed the Royal procession of eight carriages to the Town Hall square. The Town Clerk, in the unfortunate absence through indisposition of the Recorder (SiT Jloratio Lloyd), read a loyal address fTorn the Ma; yor and Corporation when their Majesties Siad alighted. In reply to the address the Kinlg expressed the pleasure it gave him and the Queen to vieit somo of the scenes of industry in Cheshire as affording a fresh opportunity of coming into closer contact with the industrial workers. Aanongst those presented to their Majesties were the Bishop of Chester and Mrs Jayne, His Honour Judge Moee and Mrs Moss, Mr Albert Wood (honorary freeman of the city And donor of the new wing of the infirmary). OPENING OF INFIRMARY EXTENSION. At the request of Mr J. R. Thomson the King pulled a switch, which by an ingenious j electric device, opened the doors of the new j,Albert Wood" wing of the Infirmary, and •imultaneously unveiled a mural tablet re- ing His Majesty's most gracious act and the munificence of Mr Albert IV z. i. A flight of six rockets from the top of the ,?Wn Hall indicated the successful aceom- plishment of this part of the ceremony. ) His Majesty said it waa his wish that the institution should be known as the Chester Royal Infirmary. MR ALBERT WOOD. During the past forty years Mr Albert ,Wood has occupied a prominent position in the public life of the Borough of Conway. To use the old county phrase, he is "Cheshire torn and Cheshire bred," having first seen tie light near Birkenhead. He comes of an old commercial family who for generations have owned works at Liverpool, Stourbridge, 8altney, etc. The business was originally atarted at Stourbe. where "it is almost pre-historic," as Mr Wood amilin-gly observed to our representative. It was Mr Wood's father who carried the business beyond the borders of Stourbridge, and founded the huge business now carried on under the name of Messrs Henry Wood and Co., Ltd. Mr Albert Wood has a nephew a director of the com- pany who represents the fifth generation in the concern. If Mr Wood's life has, to a certain extent, tjbeen uneventful, it has been a strenuous life, aad one in which he has always tried to serve hi8 country. Ho was educated at the London University, and on leaving college went into Ilia father's business. He was only eighteen years of age when he crossed to America in connection with important business trans- actions on behalf of the firm. Those were the days before telegraph and telephone were in common use, and it took fourteen days to cross the herring pond." Mr Wood continued to be actively engaged in th-obusi- ness until 1872, when he came to reside at Berarth Hall, Conway, where he remained until 1877, when he built his present beauti- ful residence, Bodlondeb. So far as his public work is concerned, it has been principa Ily oonfinoo. to Chester and Conway. So far back as 1872 he was mad-E a justice of the peace at Chester, and his name 18 associated with many generous gifts to that city. Only those who live and dwell in the city can realise and appreciate the value to f the whole district of the two now wings which ho has so generously added to the infirmary J at a cost of .£13.. It will practically mean a new era in surgical and scientific advance- ment at tha institution, which is now one of the beit equiped and up-to-date infirmaries in the country. It was only fitting that last year, when the work was nearing completion, Mr Wood should have conferred upon him the honorary freedom of the city. His associations with Conway are longer, and equally public-spirited and honourable. He has always taken a keen interest in the public affaire of the borough, and was ap- pointed on the old Corporation prior to th passing of the Municipal Corporation Act, although he did not actually sit on that authority. He has been mayor of the borough more times than any other living man. Dur- ing his term of mayoralty many important sohemes were carried through, including those associated with the Bridge and the Castle. He was made a magistrate for the county of I Carnarvonshire in 1877, and is about the third oldest magistrate in the county, whilst about 2j years ago he was appointed High Sheriff of Carnarvonshire. He has made numerous gifts to tho town, and on presenting the Muni- cipal Offices in 1908 he was made an honorary freeman cf the borough. At one time Mr Wood took an active interest in politics. but for manv years now he has not entered the arena. He was for quite a lengthy period a member of tho Reform Club. Ho has travelled extensively, having been twice round the world. In his younger days he was a keen sportsman, his v chief (sports j being yachting, fishing, and shootin.g. Lord Brassey and Mr Wood are possibly the oldest members of the Royal Mersey Yachting Club, of which Lc.rd Derby is now commodore. For upwards of fifty years he followed the .port, and won many a stiff race.
PORT SUNLIGHT'S WELCOME.I
PORT SUNLIGHT'S WELCOME. re ti P. OF MESSRS LEVERS' SOAP WORKS At Port Sunlight tho proceedings through- out were marked by e-nthusiastic loyalty. As tho train steamed alongside the new station erected specially for the visit, which has become known as Port Sunlight Station, their Maiesties were received on the platform by Sir W. H. Lever, Bart., who presented to 11 the King and Queen Mr Hulme Lever (his son) and Mrs Lever (daughter-in-law), Mr John Lever Tilloteon and Mrs Tillotson, Mr John Gray and Mrs Gray, Mr J. L. Ferguson and Mrs Ferguson, Mr Alex. Paul, and Mrs Paul. Afterwards the Royal party proceeded to the general oiffces of Messrs Lever Bros., en- tering the building by way of the west wing. The entrance was guarded by a guard of honour, consisting of No. 2 Port Sunlight Co. of the National Reserve (Captain F. S. Moore in command). The National Anthem was played by the Port Sunlight Silver Prize Band and as the Royal party entered the offices the Royal Standard was run up on the tower of No. 1 8oapery. Simultaneously a peal on the Christ Church bells signified to the villagers the arrival of their Majesties. The King and Queen and suite passed through the west wing to the main vestibule, the office staff the while standing at their des ks. Sir William Levpr offered for the gracious acceptance of her Majesty a casket containing vi?wa of the village and worka. a copy of a souvenir of Port Sunlight, and some sped- mens of the productions of the Port SunT(rht Works. Accompanied by Lord DeTby and his party, their Majesties and suite, conducted by Sir William Lever and his son, Mr Hulme Lever, went through the east wing of the offices and works. Proceeding through the soap works laboratory, where the King and Queen saw the chemists engaged in testing raw materials and soap for purity, the Royal party next arrived at the men's dining-room, where 900 workpeople were assembled. After inspecting the kitchens and pantries, their Majesties ascended by lift to No. 1 soapery, and watched the process of soap boiin?g, soap cooling, cutting, stamping, pack- img, and box making. Entering a special train, the King and Qucem were afterward? conveyed over a portion of the works. An- other interesting portion of tha works visited was the girls' dining-room, where there were gathered 800 workgirls. After making a complete tour of the works, the Royal party drove past some of the principal institutions in the village, a.nd which were pointed out to them.

EDUCATION IN CARNARVONSHIRE. H.M. INSPECTORS' REPORT. I LANGUAGE TEACHING IN THE SCHOOLS. I The Welsh Department of the Board of Educa- tion have just issued the report of II.M. In- spectors on education in Carnarvonshire for the period endied July 31st last, The report states that according to the latest available statistics (those of 1911-12) Carnarvon- shire has 147 elemen-taiy schools, of which 98 .y sc h oo l s, of iv l i,* ol i 98 are Council and 49 voluntary. In the percentage IIttdancc of children above five, Carnarvonshire ranks first among the Welsh counties with a per- centage of 91, the next county being Denbigh- shire with a percentage of 89. "The building activity of the Education Committee has been continuous. Immediately after tho passing of the Education Act it prepared a thorough and comprehensive scheme for putting the school structures in good order-, and this scheme, with necessary developments, was pursued systemat ical- ly and vigorously. The worst schools (and tho number of very bad ones was exceedingly great) were replaced by entirely now buildings; j others were reconstructed, some so thoroughly that they hardly diff ered from new schools minor improvements were made in the better schools, and ajfto in the defective ones which had to wait their turn for reconstruction. "A curious result followed; the districts which ha.d notoriously ba.d schools (such as those in the remote parts of Lleyn) soon had buildings in comparison with which other schools which had hitherto be)I1 regaj-ded as fine buildirugs came to look mean and drab. But gradually some of the districts thus obscured had their revenge, for. as the standard rose steadily, t'ho buildings which were at first regarded as satis- factory were condemned, and were replaced by new buildings surpassed even the earlier new schools in comfort and elegance. The ideal school of one day is soon regarded as a very moderate achievement, and the admired new schools of a few years ago now envy the greater conveniences of their successors, with their ampler playgrounds, their spacious gardens, their marching c-orridors or assembly halls, their rooms for handicrafts and housecraft, and their superior hygienic arrangements." Reference is made to the two "open-air" schools, near Penygroes and Pwllheli, whioh have been previously described, and the report states that improvements are also being steadily carried out in the non-provided schools of the county. In some of the newer schools praise-worthy efforts have been made to decorate the school grounds by cultivating flowers. I THE LANGUAGE PROBLEM. The report discusses tihe equipment, staffing, and curricula of the elementary, and intermediate schools of the county. The teaohers, it is stated, are gradually realisinp; that they are not tied to the shackles of a stereotyped course. They are free, within the limits imposed by the code, to arrange their work to meet the needs of the schools and the localities, and to develop it along the lines which their own attainments best qualify them to follow. But it sometimes happens that even in soma of the largest schools the syllabuses of work and time tables remain almost unchanged from year to year, without even such modifica- tions as must inevitably suggest themselves to any progressive teacher. In certain portions of Carnarvonshire, and especially in the district of Lleyn, the teaching of English is a very difficult problem, and it is more and more necessary (the report says) to emphasise that tho teaching should be sys- tematically graded in all classes with a view to getting the children to write and to speak Eng- lish with some ease before their school days are over. A welcome si-n is the effort made to cultivate the reading habit not merely among the older scholars, but among the scholars in the lower o1ames. The scheme for the teaching of Welsh pre- pared for the Camaj- von ah i r& authority by a com- mittee of expert teac-hers in 1904 haa on the whoie been faithfully followed, engendering increased interest and activity in the school life generally, but more particularly in the infant schools. In these the language of the home is now that of the schools. In tho few Anglicised parts of the county, too, when Welsh is well taught, it makes the pupils more thoughtful, self-reliaait, and in- telligent in their work. The success of the teaching naturally varies according- to the zeal and ability of the teacher. There are cases in which headmasters go so far as to hold the teaching of Weish partly responsible for the de- terioration in the quality of both the spoken and written English in their schools. That the reverse is true may be proved by a visit to any school where Welsh is well taught." After a reference to the Rhvd-ddu School which is described As a notew4orth exampLe of the value of bilingaal teaching in the hands I a capable and enthusiastic teacher, the report states that the success that has attended bilingual teaching at Rhvd-ddu (where the pupils have fewer opportunities of learning English out of school than in any other part of the county) proves that the future development of bilingual teaching in Carnarvonshire depends entirely upon the zeal and capacity cf those primarily re- ■ sponsible for it. Language teaching is oertain- iy the most difficult problem that confronts the teachers in the majority of the schools."
A MORALITY PLAY. I
A MORALITY PLAY. I (From a Correspondent.) I The morality play "Christiana and her child- ren, founded on John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Pro- gress, was given beforo crowded and detighted aiidl enc-es a.t Holyhead Town IIail, on Tuesday. The staging' was very simple, the scheme beunig- white and black, and gold. The dresses had been carefully planned and carried out to fliit the play, the colouring harmonifinig- with the characters of the players, the pilgrims and heavenly beings in white and soft colours, while t-he wordly groups made a striking contrast in their brilliant ccs- tumoe. Especially beautiful were the angelic visions, the central figure i.n a clinging silver garment with wonderful white wings. No names were given on the programme, but wo understand that the title role was taken by Miffl Mary Heaton, while the ohildren's parts were played by the IiŒiœ Muriel Tywyn Jones, and Annie, Bill, and Master Gyn Williams. Mer cy was represented by Miss. Burrows; Mrs Tim- orous by Mini Eva Burr; Greatheart by Mr Oe- wald Hobbs; the Interpreter by Mr Learmouth; the Heavenly Messenger by Mr Owen. The incidental music from Ga.ul's "Holy City" was excellently rendered by a chair and orchestra under the conductors-hip of Mr Thomas Price, the lord-er d th orchestra being Miss Agnes Jones, Carnarvon. Tho poetical and beautiful allegory lias been dramatised by Mrs Duncan Pearce, of Lewes and this ;,& the first time it has been played in W&lee. It was admirably produced bv Mr Cecil Kirmaird

DISTRICT NURSING INI ANGLESEY.
DISTRICT NURSING IN I ANGLESEY. WORK IN MENAI BRIDGE, LLANDEGFAN, I AND LLANFAIR. The annual meeting of the Menai Bridge, Lian- degfan, and Llanfair P.G. District Nursing As- sociation, was he;d on Thursday at the New Hall, Menai Bridge, Colonel Dixon presiding. The Chairman made sympathetic reference to the serious loss suffered by the association d'uring the past year through the deaths of Dr. Roberts, of Iiryn Teg, and of Mr II. Burke'jey Price, both of wihorn had been the most, faithful friends and trusted counsellors of the committee from the beginning. By the death of 1'1n3 Mousche also the committee itoad lost one of their own members with much regret. Before thecloae of the meeting the chairman proposed that a& friends of the Nursing Associa- tion present desired to associate themselves with the oommitteo in mourning theso tad losses (es pec.ially oi Mr Buikeley Price, who had presided for so many years over this annual meeting with- out a break) and in an expression of fympat-hy with the bereaved families and relatives. This was seconded by tho Rev. T. Charles Williams, and carried. Upon the suggestion of the Rev. O. B. w i,!I;rno it was decided to record the \ote in tho committee's minutes. I INCREASED FUNDS NEEDED. I Ihe v./niWMti, in moving the adoption of tne j report (which had ln already distributed and taken as road), spoke of the pleasure he felt in g-iving a.ny haip in his power to nursing work ar/Ktht> poor especially, which he felt must appeal to everyone. He drew attention to the favourable testimony borne to the excellence of tho nurse's ivo '-k by fh", Inspector from London. He al'irded also to the need of more funds for the satisfactory carrying on of the work in so largo a district, hoping that some practical OLig- gestions toO tJrs end might be made for the guid- aJIl.:} of the committee. VALUABLE WORK DONE. I I Dr. v\ uiiams, ot Menai Bridge, adore,?snci tne meeting and that from his own exporiunoo he could speak of Nurse Williams' efficiency and tact in the carrying an of her work, and lie pressed home with force, the need for more funds. The (Est rid had three centres, as it were, and each district fliottd, in his opinion, provide its own set of nursing appliances, tho supply of whiüh. bad certainly been deficient. He advised an appeal being1 made to the farmers cf the neighbourhood, a-iio that thero should be a house to house collection.

BANGOR NORMAL COLLEGEI CONCERT.
BANGOR NORMAL COLLEGE I CONCERT. FINE PERFORMANCE OF "SAMSON." I Pa.st performances of the Bangor Normal Col- lege Choral Society attained such a degree of ex- collew-e as to lead one to anticipate a more than nsu.?1 mDrItonoU6 rendering of Handel's "8am- son," at the third annual concert of the Society at the Penrhyn Hall, on Wednesday night, and those expectations were fully realised. For noarly three hours the large audience listened to the glorious strains of the oratorio and appeared quite loth to leave the hall at tho close. "Samson," which was composed in 1742, after the ''Messiah" had not, previous to Wednesday evening, been heard in il:6. entirety in Bangor for at least forty years, and lovers of Haadel's music —their number is legion, owe a debt of gratitude to Mr Hurren flard-ing, MILS. Ha.c., who conduc- ted the performance, lor enabling them, to hear this g-relt musical drama. Iiandel lias his de, tractors, but there are few composers whoso music make euch a direct appeal to the hearer. poignant strains of tho tenor air, "Total Eclipse," the whirlwind solo "Why docs the God of Israel Sleep," the stately "Honour and Arms," the tendor "With plaintive notes and am'rous moan," and the majestic concluding chorus, "Let their celestial concerts"- ati combine to arrest the attention of even one whose acquaintance with the technique of music is but slight. From start to finish the work was given with- out a hitch, and the audience is to bo com- mended for obeying the request of the conduc- tor that no encores should bo given, thus pre- serving the continuity of the story. Probably the tone of the choir, consisting of 160 singers, all students of the college, was not quite so pure as at the last concert, nnd the sopranos showed no great, love for top "G's." But they sang in a delightful manner. They adapted thoir tone to the varying moods of the choruses; the heavy numbora were not overdone, while the ladies emerged from the supreme test of any ehoir-the unaccompanied singing of the chorus of virgins, "Her Faith and Truth," with credit. An irn- pressive performance was given of the ponderous "Fix'd in His everlasting seat," the ritro being sung with all that dignity the music denra.ni&, but their best number was undoubtedly "Let their celestial concerts all unite." Tiiey revelled in tho broad, sonorous phrases of this chorus, which, iilce the preceding air, "Let the bright Seraphim," it may be stated, d-d not form part of the work as originally composed, but was subsequently added. In all the choruses tho harmonies were finely poised and balanced, and the choir sang with an intelligence and a thoroughness which reflected great credit on th6 cond act or. THE SOLOISTS. I The outstanding solost was Mr fvan .Lewis, who tilled the titular roie. The tenor recitatives and solos in "Samson" are by no means easy, but Mr Lewis encompassed aii tho diificulties with all the skill <f ar. artist. He was alike effective in such diverse examples as "Total eclipse" und "Why does the Gocl of Israel sleep," but he deserves most crottit for the intelligent Kiaiiner hednterpreted the recitatives. This is an art which very few singers have mastered; most of them fail to differentiate between an air and a recitative, but Mr Lewis showed the distinction, and thus added greatly to the enjoyment of the performance. Mrs Josephine Williams-Lewis, to whom was allotted the contralto so.os, sang with due fervency, a-nd like her husband, declaimed the recitatives with artistic resource. Her rich voice was hoard to best advantage m "Return, return, 0 God of Hosts." Ti Ha.ra.h Kis?ath, tho soprano eoloist, fell much. florid music which suited .her vo ce. While not powerful, her voice possesses the charm of sweet- ness, and she sang "With p:amt:ve notes" in a delightful manner, but in "Let the bright Seraphim" (which was given without a. trumpet obligatfca), a trifle more emphasis and expression would ha\o heightened tho effect. The baas solos were shared by Mr D. Felix Davies and Mr Herbert J. Williams. The former sang the well-known "Honour and arms" in true Handelian fashion, the air admirably suiting his voice, and lie had quite an ovation at its close. He a so gave a good account of himself in the following duet, "Go, Baffle -;>w- ard, go," and iu "Presuming Slave! to ve their wrath." Mr Herbert J. Williams, who ang the "Manoah" óolos, is the possessor of u power- ful voice, over which, however, ho has not com- plete control. Hen rendered "Thy glorioua deeds" very effectively. Mr Gomor Evans sang the items alloted to the "Israelitish Messenger." The orchestra composed of:—1st violin,, Mr J. R. Whitehead (leader); 2nd violin, Mr W. Edge; viola, Mr F. C. Wein<gacTt.ner; violincello, Mr S. Ledga.rd; bass, Mr F. Richardson; and piano- forte, Mr J. Roley—daserves nothing but praise, That six instrumentalists oould produce such a wealth of sound, rich and sonorous, was indeed remarkable, and moreover they played with iin- varying accuracy, for which the soloists must have been deeply grateful. Very impressive was the "Dead March" from "Saul," which has been introduced into tho work, and in the overture with its familiar minuet they excelled. Mr Whitehead itiade an ideal leader. Mr llum-cn Harding. in conducting, had his foroes vveil in hand, and controlled the climaxes of tone very skilfully. He must be eongratula- ted upon a performance which adds lustre to the musical traditions of the Normal College. Before the next concert ia held in the Hall, tho City Council might re-paint tho walk, parts of which have been badly scored, and present an unsightly appearance.
-PROPERTY SALE AT !AMLWCH.
PROPERTY SALE AT AMLWCH. Messrs Hughes and Jones, of Amlwch and Roo- organ, oondu-cted a salo of freehold propertoy at tha Institute, Amlwch, on Wednesday. The lots numbered thirty, and consisted of small hold- ings and cottages in the parishes of Rhosybod, Aml wch and Llameilian, and in the vicinity of Parys Mountain, the first eight lots being moiety la.nds, which were offered by the instructions of the Marquis of Anglesey and Lady-^eave, whilst the otlier 22 lots were portions of the Anglesey Estate. Mr David Jones, who conducted tlie. sale, said all the tenants had been invited to meet the vendors' represen tali yes prior to the sale, and many had availed theui&elvos of the opportunity to secure their holdings at the most reasonable figures at which they were offered. Tho moiety lands were then offered ranging in size from two to iive acres with small cottages thereon. Six of the eight lots were disposed of but the reserve was not reached in respect of two others. Penyoae, a dwelling-house producing a rental of F,6 10s per annum, was then offered. Start- ing at S60 tho bidding soon readied £150, for whioh tlie house was sold to the Rev. W. Davies, Independent minister. There was no ofTer for a tearaoe of three houses called Penycae, and two of the few thatched cot- tages to be seen in the district were withdrawn. The tenants secured Cerrig-y-bleiddiau (5a. 3r. 23p.), Hen Waith (6a. lr. 25p), Dafarn Drip (3a. Ir. 37p), Glan Gors Fawr (3a. 2r. 17p), and Llyn Cooh (2a. 2r. 10p.). A terraee of five cottages in Rhosybol elicifcecL a first bid of 1;60, which drew from the auc- tioneer the remark that the bidder was over- cautious. Mr Port, Rh-oagoch, beoa-me the pur- chaser, his bid being £ 150. The old Uxbridge Arms, rented at £10 per an- num, was bought by the tenant, Mr liemry Row- lands; and five other lots in tins same village be- came the property of their respective tenants. The village smithy, tho auctioneer announced, had been sold to the "village blacksmith," and Pen Pare Isaf and Tanyffcurdd, small tenements, had also been bought by the tenant, Hen Bare, 22a. 2r. 29p.. and Pen Pare, Is. Or. 30p., were offered in ono lot, and, starting at C500, the price offered advanced to 2760, when it was knocked down to Mr W. Fanning, acting for a client. Out of the 30 lots, 24 wore sold. The vendors' solicitors were Messrs Williams and James, Nor- folk HouBe, Thames Embankment, and Messrs Walker Haa-tinaau and Co., 36, Theobald's road, W.C.

Margiarct Wyndham, Mrs Ernest Wilberforce, Mrs George Cave, and Miss Glad:-tone. Tho Bishop of St. David's said when the thoughts of all we-1m now concentrated upon the extremely grave position of public affairs they ought to tako oaro that tho fa.r-reaoh.ing and in- jurious consequences cf the pasaing of the Welsh Churcih Bill should mt be lost eight of. A sug gefition had born made in the Liberal papers last few days that tfiio Prime Minister .meant to ma.kc the parsing of the WeMi Church Bil under tho Parliament Act On.0 of three con- ditions ft r taking a General Election in about three months' timo. He hoped that suggestion wan not well-founded, as no reasonable being -ocmjd say that tho Bill had public opinion be- hand it. It was now quite clear that the D:w- oncknYiraont proposals of the Bill wow contrary to tihe wishes of a largo number of W«!ah Non conformists. A protest agaiiat the Bill had been e-,g,n4,d by over 15,000 Noncon formists over twenty-one yoMia of age in the diooeee of St, Asaph. Many more Notwwnfcrmists were sign- inig m ofcluer parts of Wales.

BANGOR AND BEAUMARIS UNION.
BANGOR AND BEAUMARIS UNION. CARE OF THE MENTALLY DEFICIENT. I At a mooting of the Guardians of the Baa- gor and Beaumaris Union on Friday, tho Rev. W. Morgan presiidkiig, a coinmumoalion written on Ijehaif of tho North Wales Poor Law Con- ference was read with reference t.o the Mental Deficiency Act. In view of the fact that even after the Act has come into operation a con- siderable number of mentally deficient paupers will remain under the control of the Guard- ians, the Board was asked to nominate re- presentatives to a joint conference to discuss the whole question, cv-pecially as it was be- lieved that in making the necessary provision the unions would desire to act in combination. The Chairman, who, with the secretary of tho oonf croupe, had (signed the coinmainioaticai explained the obligations of the Guardians under the new Act. It was thought that the Ik sards cf Guard: ana oould best do their duty I in the matter by acting- in combination, as eome of the County Councils proposed doing, and so ensure better classification and a wider area. The grant- which the Welsh County Councils would reserve from the, Government would at first be very small, only 12000, but it m-ight be X500 more in five years; but the councils wc'uld only proceed as long as the grant was equal to half tho expenditure. At first it was n.ot thought that more than 300 people would come under the Act in the whole of Walefi and Monmouthshire, and these would be dealt with either at one central institution or in two smaHer ones. A haviii- been made that all the members of the Board ought to receive copies of the Act, a Guardian as-ked. also Whether Welsh copies were not available. The Chairman: I know a Lady who could translate an Act of Parliament., but I should not care to try it myself (laughteor). Cainon Edwards considered that it was de- sirable to have further information, and to that end he moved that representatives be appointed to the proposed conference. The Chairman, Vice-Chairman, and Mr Joseph Davies were accordingly appointed. THE NEW INFIRMARY. I A letter was received from the Local Government Board sanctioning the borrowing of S1460 for furniture for the new infirmary. It was an/nounoed that the Local Govern- ment Board had surcharged an amount paid by tho Guardians as solicitor's charges for preparing an agreement and form off contract in connection with the infirmary. Mr W. R. Jonea did not think that a soli- citor's services were required, as the Clerk oouLd have done the work just as well. The Clerk: The Clerk could have done it, but he had no chance. The Chairman explained that the reason was that it was thong?}]t it would not be wiae for arvono but a Lawyer to do the work. MR JOHN BURNS' ACKNOWLEDGMENT. 1 Mr John Burns wrote personally acknow- ledginig a resolution passed by the Guardians expressing appreciation of his services at the Local Government Board, the Chairman re- marking that that was the first instance he had ever known of tho head of a Government department writing a letter of the kind with his own hand (hear, hoar).
CROWN LANDS IN WALES-1
CROWN LANDS IN WALES-1 MR RUNOIMAN AND THE REQUEST j FOR INQUIRY. ] Mr Runoiman has sent a letter to Mr Ellis Davies, M.P., in reference to the request for an inquiry into waste and Crown lands, and foreshores in Wales made by a deputation that watted on Mr Aaouith lust August. In it he says that the notes which Mr Daviea submitted to the Prime Minister last August have been carefully consider- ed by Mr Lev iron Gowor, the commissionar who haa charge of the Crown lands in Wales, who 13 satisfied that the commissioners have es full in- formation as ii neceaeary regarding the Crown's rights in Waloi. The appointment of a com- mission of inquiry was demanded by the deputa- tion, but the at which the suggested ccmmUgkm might arrive would have no legal effijet, and, if the conclusions were ditsouted, triey would have to be proved by legal evidence in a court of law, experience of which goes to show that the result wauld bo at least uncertain, while the cost would be heavy. Moreover, an in- quiry of the kind euggostod must involve costs enormously disproportionate to any practical benefits which might result from it.

THE ULSTER CRISIS. 1
THE ULSTER CRISIS. 1 A CONSPIRACY AND ITS CONSEQUENCES, (From a London Correspondent.) General Go has returned to Ireland with a written assurance in h:s pocket tha.t neither he nor hia officers will bo asked to undertake operations against the loyalists of Ulster. Why, in faoo of this fact, the Government should have stated in both Houses on Monday that the General had gone back unconditionally is beyond comprehen- sion. The ooildc-alnient can only be regarded as another instance, of the inability of Minitsters in thifl crisis to call things by their proper names and act above bo^rd. However much it may be regretted that there should have been any col- lision between the Army and the civil authority— ,a,nd both 3idC"S do regret the collision deeply for a variety of reasons—the one great fact has been put beyond question that all thought of coercing Ulster has been at last abandoned. The Ioyalists have gained thoir end; it only remain* to arrange how best to effect the exclusion of the Province, if indeed theHome RuleBill ever becomes law. No more dramatic development has taken plaae in high politics for many a day. It is questioned' whether the Government will reoovar from the shock; certainly all its prestige has gone. Be- fore another week is over we shall probably learn that Mr Aoquitb is ready to give a dissolution about Juno if the Opposition will first allow the Home Rule Bill, the Welsh "Church Bill, and the Plural Voting Bill to become law. Of course, Unionists would never agreo to any snoh oondi- tions. What is wanted is a test of the feeling of the electorate upon the one iss-ue of Home Rule. As Mr Bonar Law ihaa ponted out, a test could be carried through without troubte by the refeir- endum wl%n necessarily the plural voter would not count. But the method is comparatively un- I important. The main thing is to g.'t to the coun- try, nd now that the expediency of an early election is being dM<ynssed seriously by Ministera we may expect &n early dissolution with soim assurance. CHA08. I The state of opinion on the Coalition side is chaotic. Mr Churchill's speeoh at Bradford, in which he boasted about putting "these grave issues to the proof" had a galvanic etfACt upon tho party for a. few days. Now the stimulus ia exhausted and tho o!d nervousness has returned. The poet Burns muat havo had these timorous oroaturca in his eye when he wrote these lines, for the words txactly describe their frama of mind :— "Rut, Och I baokward cast my e'e, On prospects drea,r An' forward, tho' I canna see, I guess an' fear!" • I'. A FOUL CONSPIRACY. I There seems to be no doaubt at all that a con- I spiracy was on foot to put Ulster in a b;z(\. Qurite openly, Colonel Seely and Mr Churchill are accused of acting together to that end. The one miscalculation was as to the Army. It may be true that General Paget, in telling his officers what was wanted of them, did go a little heJond his instructions, but there oa.n be no dou.bt that the spirit of the language he used was the spirit which had been conveyed to him at the War Offioo only a day or so before. No officer of General Paget's experience and reputation would have dared to mislead; his fellows. He blurted out the truth, and apparently he is now to be made a scapegoat. But he will have his de- fenders with whom the Government will bo forced to reckon. The madness of the conspiracy is really appalling. Ulster was absolutely qui'e.t. Sir Edward Carson had completely succeeded in preserving the peace. There was no likelihood of any disturbances anywhere. This was the moment chosen by the two Ministers to test whether Ulster was bluffing or was in earnest. Troops were moved, some small ships of war woro s-ent with troops to Belfast Lough, and if the plans had 'not miscarried, Mr Churohill in- tended, so it is asserted, to land blue-jackets from battleships at Belfast. A MONSTROUS THING. I The whole thing is monstrous. Mr Aaquith himself is not biamed except upon the one ground that ho failed to keep a tight grip of his Cabinet, *ind to insist upon the fullest knowledge. In all seriousness, however, ouch a failure is bad enough. Amongist Liberals the bi-tterest feel Luge are growing up, again be it noted, not against Mr Asquith personally so much as against the two defence Ministers. A further count which is formulated against Colonel Seely is that he did not in the first instance give full information to the King, and that afterwards he deliberately at- tempted to conceal the facts from the House of Commons. Even late on Monday niglit he would not admit that General Gough had gone back to his post, not unconditionally, but upon his own terms. WRITTEN TERMS. j Apropos of General Gough the interesting- fact beoame known on Tuesday—no thanks, however, to Colonel Seely-that the first offer made by tihe War Minister was that while the Government would look to the General's brigade to uphold law and order in Ireland, yet it would not expect it to take a part in suppressing a political agita- tion. General Gough pointed out that tha.t waa much too vague, and it ia stated that one of the arguments used was that under such a pronounce- ment the Government might paas the Home Rule BiH, and he iniglit be asked, in upholding Paw and order, to uphold the Home Rule Act, and therefore be brought .into a position in whioh he would be called upon to take part in the coercion of Ulster. Eventually a document was drawn up in accordance with his desires, and was signedi by the Chief of the G-eneral Staff and members of the Army Council. THE SCENE IN THE HOUSE. I The jsce-ne in the House of Commons on Mon- day, when tho great disclosures were made, was stirring in t-he extreme. It well befitted the oc- casion. There was a great crowd and passion was at white h-eat. I do not think I ever before heard so much unparliamentary language used without a protest. Members shouted at will. Judging the temper of the House, Mr Speaker wisely refrained from asserting authority too firmly. Had he acted otherwise a serious explosion mrust have resulted. The chief Ministers looked very ill at case. Mr Lloyd George sat with pale drawn face. Mr Churchill exaggerated his embarrass- ment by endeavouring to conceal it. Mr As- quith had lost his ruddiness, and he was unusually nervous at the table. It was perfectly obvious that he felt he had been duped by his colleagues. Colonel Soely's face was a study. It was that of a schoolboy who has been found out but does not know what his punishment is to be. On the front Opposition bench, Mr Bon-ar Law had the sup- port of Mr Balfour, Mr Chamberlain, and Mr Long, Behind them sat the crowded host of their .men in a state of suppressed enthusiasm and excitement. Mr Bonar Law's speech was a brilliant piece of work. The facts were mar- shalled with extraordinary &kill, and before he had gone far the entire House (realised that his facts were really facts and no garbled versions. Later on Mr Balfour, looking bronzed and well, made suoh a speeoh as carried his hearers back to his great days in the eighties and the nineties. The Government shook under every blow. OTHER MATTERS. J This Ulster business has not been the only im- portant incident of a heavy week. Tho Rosyth housing scandal will not soon be forgotten. Al- though five years :have passed sinro the naval baao was commenced the Admiralty has made no adequate provision for the housing of the hun- dreds of labourers employed. The huts are des- oribed as deplorable hovels, and some of the me" prefer to sleep in tho open. But for Lord Robert Cooiland Mr John WTard, the state of things would not havo been dlseloscd, probably, just yet. And this has happened under a Govern- ment which is attempting to iiiaitgti-rate a houa- ing^oampaign! Next timo Mr Lloyd Georgo goes on tho platform he will bo reminded of this case of discrepancy between his practice a.nd his creed. Meanwhile, the Unionists and tho Labour men a ro taking steps to compel the, autho- rities responsible to fulfil their duty without further delay. The Scottish Local Government Board and the Admiralty may quarrel as much as they like over the question, but the men on tho job must not be played with as pawns any longer.

PORTDINOUWIC NATIONAL SCHOOL.
PORTDINOUWIC NATIONAL SCHOOL. Thoeo of the older generation who visited the National School yesterday must have been agreeably surprised at the exhibition of the work of the scholars. Gone are the days oi the da-y-as-dust curricula, and instead the children are given work whioh will interest, and at the same time develop their latent powers. Even a cursory glance at the article. exhibited with such charming- taste ahowed that the school has in Mr D. Jones a head- master of umdoubted worth, and a most capable staff, who are up-to-date in their methods. From the cardboard work of tho infants, who are quite adepts at it, to the an- needlework of the elder girls, there is tlvi stamp of excellence and particularly attrac tivo was t'he leatherette and raffia work. A variety of articles, all useful, were made out of raffia, and the infants were given an oppor- tunity of showing their skill at weaving. Tho examples of sketching and brush work were very creditabLe to the school. This is one of the few schools of the county where tie elder pupiLs are taught bookbind- ing, and the visitors were enabled to inspect some excellent specimens of work. They are oliso taught gardening in an advanced form, and im ono part of the exhibition was shown the effect of water on different soils, includ- ing that of the school garden; seeds germ ma- ting and an ingenious apparatus by which could be seen the rate at which a plant grows. Some monthis ago bulbs wore distributed among the pupils, and the plants wero brought to the school yesterday to be j u-dged by Mr Weaver, Yaynol, and Mr Griffin, Tre- borth. Who awarded over ninety prizes. A large number of the various articles wlere sold, the proceeds going towards the school library. Imon" the visitors was Professor Archer, of the U.C.N.W.
