GL .(} ANOMALIES on tue 'CONWAY u BOABD OF &UAEDIANS. l To THE EDFTOR.J SrR,-I(ow that 'the Boards of GHirdians AR^ established on a quaai-decnocrafcie basis (i.e., on the one-man-one-vote principle), would it Dot be well in the Conway Union to get a little nearer one-vote- one value on the Board? The anomalies of repre- sentation on that Board are astoundinc, and redis- tribution is urgently needed. Representation can- not be diminished (by grouping parishes, eto.) until April, 1898, but the alternative method (increasing the size ot the Board by giving more re- presentatives to populous parishes of high rateable valne) c mid be -epeadily put into operation. The Conway Board oontains twenty-one elected members, while a neighbDuring Board (St. Asaph) oontains fifty-two. I wonld sqgyest that the Conway Beard (and also the -Urban Distriot Councils, Vestries, or Parish Councils, of the pwisbM joandaloMly; under represented) should petition for an increase of at least sixteen representative., distributed astollown aaonR the parishes named :—Llandudno, 4 lUKlwysrhcs, 1 Conway, 2 Dwygyfylchi, 2; Caerhnn, 1; Llan- sautffraid, I Llandrillo, 3 Eiriae, 1 Llysfoeo, 1 total, 16. The basis of representation would tben be that eaoh parish (whether large or tmall) would have one guardian to start with, and an additional guardian for each oomplete 900,popuiation coaplecl with .£5000 rate- able value. At present, Llandudno parish, with 6050 population and L52,373 rateabk. value, has only three representatives,-the same number as together come from the three parishes of GYFFIU, Lleobwodd, aud Oyffin, whioh unitedly can only show a totai of SWJ population and £ 5805 ratable value. Conway parish has only oneizopresenta, tive, on the other hand, for 2384 population and £10,325 rateable value. O ber glaring anonialit-s might be pointed out, bufrta^Sce it to maS, that the iten larger parisbee (the first-mentioned nine tnd Llaurhos) have only fourteen representa- tives for 21,747 population and L160r.04 rfcte- able valaq, while the other seren pjrishes have seven represent ativtie for 2882 population, and £ I8,683 rateable value. In tha first group a repre- sentative speaks (on the avorkge) for 1553 pe.t,eons and rateable value, whilst the smaller parishes average only 416 psreons and £ 2fff0 rate- able value &er member.

PRESENTATION TO THE'REV. CANON THOKAS. On Wednesday ereiing, the 19th tilt., a public meeting was heldunder the presidency of the Rev. William Morgan, B.A., in order to present Oanon D. WalteiThomas, M.A., with a testimonial on the occas tm of his departure from St. Ann's, Betliesdi. The Rev. C. H. DAvllcsaddressed the meeting and said that the present occasion was partly mournful, partly consolatory. It was mournful because it was in a war a: formal taking leave of one who had been their vicar and friend for 35 years. But it was als) partly COTlsolatory- to Canon Thomas because he was berag presen- ted with a practical proof of their esteem and affection-to themselves because it afforded them an opportunity of assuring him of their appreciation of his good work amongst them, and of their sense of personal loss in parting with him. An occasion of this "kind also affor- ded them an opportunity of taking counsel with their better selves (for many of them were, he supposed,more or less given to criticising anfl t. looking merely on the surface of things), and of estimating the true worth of the work that had been done. He felt sure that in the words of the Epistle for the previous Sunday it was a very small thing to Canon Thomas that be should be judged of them crof man's judgment, for" Fie that judgetb is the Lord." But yet he felt convinced that he valued their goodwill and their appreciation of his work- Accordingly he would proceed to ask whatOanon Thomas had done during the time he bad been vicar of St. Anns. "In the first place what had he done for the partoli and church ? He had raised "them to the position of being a. pattcm to the neighbour- hood. St. Ann's Church was noted for the devotion^ character of its services, he had elevated ,it to its true position, the ser- vice of the Holy Eucharist; he had always maintained a high tone and standard in his preaching and teaching. But his influence wts felt outside his own parish. For many years'lie had been one of the 'leading spirits in ati. diocesan work, and for 14 yearq be had represe.&ed the clergy in Convocation,where his voice had been heard not infneqnerrtly advocating the peculiar claims of the Church in Waves. Bntiiurther he had laboured Actively in -the causc of the defence of the, NN elsh Church when some of her prominent defenders of-the present day were in their teens or even in their pinafores. He had contributed largely to the Amddiff&iydd and other Welsh papers for maay years, -wliene7er necessity demanded, at tinifs of crisic and danger. Allusion had already been made to the large number of yoong men beiungimg to St. Ann's patrisli, whom he 'had beet; the rneam,3 of introducing, directly or Jndirertly, to the sacred ministry. And what had "he done fur mission work ? His audience knevr ,e".en better than hueiself what Canon Thomas bad done for mission work in Patagonia, and how deeply indebted the Colonists there felt to him for his great work on Lbeir behalf. Farther wbht had Canon Thomas done for Walles P Wales haS no truer son—(loud applause)—none more jealous for ier welfare, more jealous of her honour, more conservative of herest traoditions and characteristics, and in this respect his effort/èad been loyally and nobly ^seconded by his genial, sympathetic, and accomplished lady, who, though English her- self, bttd-thrown Varself heart and soul into the work acid Ihad throughout served faithfully and lovingly the land of tel' adoption, and brought tl&e blush «f shame to the cheeks of. some of them selves by her exertions in and ;for the Welsh language, and by her zeal for Wdes and the Welsh. Concluding, he expressed a hope that Canon aad Mrs Thomas and their family might enjoy very happiness in their new parish, and that thc-ir labours tnight be fully Vlessed. He was siire tti,,it Canoii -Thoma,,i felt keenly the partial severance of his connection with th e Diocese of Bangor, and to asted that it was not impossible they might have the pleasure of welcoming him back to the diocese. Speeches were also delivered by Messrs Richard Roberts and Richard O. Jones. The presentation, consisting of a handsome gold w&tth and chain,was then made by the Her K IrtMDH i In reply Canon THOMAS THANKED thorn in feeling terms for the valuable present which they had given him, and still more for the kind- ness and consideration which had prompted it He was not in a general way an admirer of testimonials, and he must confess it had the depressing effect on his mind of making him look within, and realising how imperfectly he had done his work among them, and how much time he had lost in learning what was possible and what was not. Though the retrospect reminded him of his mistakes, and of so much that was undone, it did not diminish from his gratitude to those who had decided to give him a tangible proof of their kindness as expressed in'the inscription on that beautiflll and valuable watch, a mark of respect, affection, and good will" to him is the "vicar from 1860 to 1894. It was aIlIng vicariate, and one which had given him the privilege of becom- ing acquainted with most of the families in the parish in times of sickness, sorrow, or death. It would be strange if it were otherwise. His memory was full of many events in the past, which had touched him deeply at the time and came back again (JUlte fresh. Among the oOO confirmed during the 33 years there was the one who became a soldier, and died at Isanduwallah. Among those who had been preparing for holy orders there was John Henry Thomas, whoihed during his career at Oxford, A goodly number were liowclergymen, and it Imo Loen his 1r;!J, a wish not y.t, abandoned, that they conld^meet together for 0V t'.Yred quiet da*n>oiMe'r to brace tl:du up to the duties tnd oppoi-ttiiii ties o their sacred galling while life and strength was theirs. He then referred to his family life and the freedom from death in his family, and io that of his predecessors. No death had cceurred of any vicar in that parish nor of any member of his family since hhe date of he foundation of the church in 1813. After having been there so long, and meeting with so much to make it desirable to remain, it may have seemed strange to some of them that he sh uld go away voluntarily, but the reason was very s.mp!e. His strength was going down hill, but th?re was no avoiding the necessity of going up hillinth?tpMiah. He could not hope to last the strain much longer, and when an unexpectui offer came, an offer which would not,if accepted, lrave him without some freedom in the future, he decided, though not without a few sleepless nights, to accept. What the future would b was in God's bunds. He was closing the longest chapter in his life, and with his last words would wish to exhort them all to stendfastness, old and young to join in tit- work of the burch and to support their new incumbent, who came to them with all his strength in him, and wish to build up and extend the Church among them. They must not be satisfied with thdr present position as dipciplef; of the Kingdo'it of Grace, nor with the present position of the Church in the Dnrish Tlieir motto should be Eycelsioi- He thanked the churchwardens for their co- operation, the Sunday and oay school teachers and lay readers and his ever faithful colleague and Iellow-worker Mr Samuel Jones, and all who had helped in promoting the materiel, moral, or religious interests of the parish during his life there, which was now ending. How long it would be was unknown to man, bnt be begged for fieir prayers on his behalf and hoped they might meet again where there was no sad parting.

,TEImIBLE SEIPPIITG DISASTER AT HOLYHEAD. On Friday night and throughout Saturday violent gales were blowing over tbe greater part of the United Kingdom, and considerable damage and loss of life is reported from many places, especially aroand the coast. Snow and sleet fell its many districts. A terrible shipping disaster ooanrred oft Holyhead early on Sunday morning, by which no fewer than twenty-aix men lost their lives. Between tbree and fonr o'clock the men on the North Stack gun station saw signs of distress fired from 110 vessel which appeared to be clrift,ng rapidly towards the breakwater at almost the same spot at which tbe "Kirkmichael" grounded last Saturday wee.k. From this station a telephone communicates with tb3 Holyhead Coastguard Station, and by means of this word was sent for assistance. The men in charge of the life-saving apparatus immediately proceeded to the spot, and aithoogh the sia, was ooming over the breakwater in tremendous volumes, entirely oovering the mill, they worked well to yet a rocset line aoross the unfortunate vessel. Tue first rockst fell short, and almost immediate! tbu mainmast fell, etriking the vessel amUehipn, parting her in i two. This occurred at about- ft qu» iter to four, and the morning was blaok, but by tho fi,wli pf light, when the rocket was fired it ws.i C that p»>rt of the crew stood upon the forecast le ,1 others on f-Jie I poop. Several of the poor 1-illosts were inBant killed by the falling of the mast. The øeas wer sweeping over the vessel with tremendous force, doing terrible havoc, and notwithstaudiag the roaring of the hurricatie, the ories of tbe sailors fit aasiitanoe were frequently beard by those an the ahore. The vessel mas now bsiug fast broken tip, and the men's crits were drowned by the crash of fallieg spars, which killed many of them. The life-aaviug apparatus, in charge of Mr Murch, was stationed on the breakwater, and at a moment when the wind was blowing less strong than it had been doing a line wao fired, and, amtd loud cheers from the spectators on shore, fell u/ rosa the fore- castle. Amost, pathetic sccne, however, ensued fir tbe-rescuers, who were joyfully expecting that tue line wonld be made fast and the remniuder of thecrew brought rafely ashore, now found that not a single sonl of boll the twenty-six who had formed-the orrw survived to.fix the line. Nothing had been heard of the unfortunate men after the falling of the mizzen- mut "and foremast, bnt it vra- not thought that the whole of the crew had been killed or washed over- board. TbetifeboBt "Thomas Fielding" put off, but owiqg to the terrific north-westerly wind she was unable to get anywhere near the shipto-render assistance. The final catastrophe took place on the boolders in tbe bend at the back of the breakwater. and within half-an-honr of the vessel's stranding she was encashed to pieces. The iship proved to be the steel barque "Osseo," of Londonderry, 11463 tons gross. She was owned by Mr R. fl. M'Corkell, and was proceeding from Falmontlh to Ardroegsn. On the 21st ult., a vessel bound far Belfast passed the Osseo" seventy •smiles wat of Scflh, and Captain R. Bogee, of the latter ship, telegraphed a warning to the otber cap- tain of the approaching storm. Many of the bofiies fit the drowsed men have been washed ashone. All the coastguards at Hoiyhead station say thny bav4 cerer witnecsed so piehetio a soene in their entire «5Dgerience. An eye-witness says that of all the terrible dis-' aitashe hadwct), the calamity of Sunday moraing: waathe most pallin¡; Scaroeiy bad the Osseo rounSed the rooks when she was daehed on to the breakwater aad .be¡?fl.o re break up. The masta gave way first, followed by a parting of the vessel in the middle, and the nnforuJlJate sailors were crushed in a shocking manner. Aboat thirty minutes after tbe vesael strande^ scarcely a vestige of the ship remained to view. 'The Hfe-saving apparatas crew state thit terrible as was the"iSirkmichael" digester last Saturday week, it was incomparable with that of tho Otseo." Tfeosgh promptly on the spot, the < lif.-Faving crew could render no assistance, as the men belonging to the vessel hadall been drowned or killed. The news of the wreeketbe,41 Osseo on reaching Londonderry cans->d feejings of deep dismay. Tho unfortunate cr«w, six of whom belonged to London- derry, where the vesael was owned, were expected homo for CbrUtmas. The past w-eek was one cf intense anxiety for the relatives of the men. All dayon Saturday the offioe of Mr IS H.M'Corkell. th owner, was besieged by inquiring wives and relatives. A reassuring answer was given in all instances, as it was believed the barque was standing out to sea awaiting the moderating of the gale. The barque was spoken on Friday morning, the 2M lilt., north of the Bay of Bicesy.by the steamer a. "40 ,1TT.Jf.1,.
