The annual report relating to the Infirmary, signed by the President, was as fol- ios:—"Another Infirmary year has passed away, and we have again to place the aowmto øM. usual statistics before the subscriber. It will be found on perusal of the returns that 133 patients have been treated in the Infirmary du- ring the past year at a. oost of £ 1300 9B 10d. The respective number and amount lust year being: -PAtimts, 148; cost. 21324 13s lid, thus low- ing a decrease in number of 15, and of £24 10s Id in cost. This decrease may be, aocoutwted far in various ways, but m-w mpeei&llv by infectious OMea. which the partial closing of the. wards for some time. The smoking-room for the convalescent patients has not yet been built The first estimate of cost was so large that other plans had to be prepared to bring the expense within a reaftoniAibtd iimwuiiti The pro- seat estimate, and the one accepted, amounts to £ 60, towards whdoii your committee have only M promised and in hand. I trust, therefore, that our smoking friends will make up the de- ficiencv, and we then tfh\] 1 be able to complete the building without, having TeoouiMe to the In- firmary funds. Lord Penrhyn set Aim a good ex- ample in Hie maktor by giving 925; viU n. others help us? Appaala have been mme to the churches and chapels of the neighbourhood for collections towards the funds, and although these appeals have been well received, yet we are still short of a conoidbrable sum to anke our income balance with the expenditure. It is with deep regret that I, as president, have to point out the fact that we have been oompeHodI this year to draw upon oa.pi.bal to the amount of S375. No doubt many claims we, .made upon us all to support various charities and other phi 1 anthropvc objects, lliis yew, special claims are being made for our soldiera and their families; yob I think more might be done for our local and county Infirmary, which is doing such excellent work, ministering to tha aick and deserving poor, And providing the beet surgical treatment in ac- cident cases. We are all liable to accidents; various kinds have been treated in the hdrmwt this year, such a&-wci&nta from .moumtaaiwer- ing, falls from bicyoles, injuries from budAng operations, and suoh like. t)r. Renaud, of Man- chester, who has had considerable expervaftoe in hospitals, lately paid a visit to the wards, and entered in the visitors' book ■as follows: -'I have had the privilege of inspecting this Inhrmary, and have b0M impremed with its ottM?n? oomfort, and EWliwy mppliwiem, no læø than its almost unique situateon.' With these Sachs be- fore \UI, canuot something more' be done to ob- tain additional funds for wi ittsibituAioiv that doing such good work ? 1leave the 6nsww with the subscribers. I hope that all subscribers will try and induce tfoedr friends to become sub- scribers, for if they oouldl each get one additional subscriber, the funds required would then soon be made up. To make the sanitary appliances more complete, the nuedioal staff reeonmond4 that all the milk usad should be sterilised. This additional cost, but has been SHiotiiooied by the committee, far Lord Penrhyn again oame to their aid by offering to pay the oost of a pro- per steriliser, which will ^be at once put up. The drains are also about to 1>» thoroughly examined by competent sanatory engineers, so as to pre- vei.t any infectious oases breaking out amongst the patiente. I also haive to refer you to the re- port of the Dispensary Ooanmittoe, which shows that steadv progress hxi been made in that part of the work. Soma changes have taken place fimnmigat. the stsff during the yeiar, but all vacan- cies are now filled up. The Infirmary has been well looked after and mialntainsd, and is now wafficiently equipped for all patients seeking ad- mission. Many proffe-nba liavo (been received and acknowledged. The House Committee are alwaj-s glad to receive gifts, which greatly assist in the carrying out of the work, old linen being most acceptable. With regard to staff, officers, and servants of the Infirmary, it is a pleasing duty for me to acknowledge the thorough and satisfactory way in which they one and oaJI have performed their duties." The statement of swounts for the year ended October 25th last showed the following totals: -Roocipts: Collections from churches, £44 98 3d; do. from cbapeb, B51 Os 2d; interests and dividends, £495 5s 9d; donations, fbc., 25D 14a 8d; unokeref fultd, S16 16s; annual subscrip- tions, JE.570 7s 6d; in-patients' fees, :EIM 6s lOd withdrawn from capital isooount, SM; balance due to treasurer, ZW 18& 9d.

According to comparative tables which aooom- panied the. accounts it Appeared that the average number of in-patiervt« weekly was 17, and the average cost of woekly board of partiartts and staff worked out at 5s 9Jd each. The roceij>te fts com/pared with 1898 showed a decrease of £ 145 13s ad, and them was a decrease of 216 139 9d in the expenditure. According to the House Surgeon's report 133 patients had been treated during tho yoa^, A decrease of 16 as com- pared with 1898. "iT?h?, report of the BM?r Provident Diiq*n&vl for the year ended Octobsr 25th last was as fol- lows:—"The Provident Dispensary 'haa now completed its sixth .('11\1' and shows no signs of dAcay. True, its membership has not of We been increaeing very poroeiptibly, but it has oor- solidated and is nowiciindet thanever. In the first year or two th.9 tale of progress seemed more encouraging, but it was found in time that tho rush comprised many who from their thoughtlessness and improvidence would nob con- tinue, whereas at the presont day the mieuaber- Aip consists of those who really appreciate the benefits of the institution and are prepared to abide by ita rules. The provision made for tho admission of clubs is beginning to be understood. Already the Port Penrhyn Medical Club and the Railway Men's Doctors' Club are on the roll of the Dispensary, and there are indications that more atieli clubs may l>a expected to join. The committee feel that, the time has come to again advertise the Dispensary, and point out its ad- vantages to the working-classes. A bi-Kngual circular for that purpose is already in type, and would have been issued were it not that an addi- tion to the modioli staff is contemplated, and this requires the approval of the General Oanir raittee. We now recommend the appointment of Dr. Ilomu. The dispenser has proved him- sclf to be most efficient and careful, and: the suc- cess of the institution is considerably owing to his reliability and attention to duty. At the end of the present year he applied for an in- crease of salary, and the committee felt perfectly justified in granting him a small advance. There wo now on the roll 364 heads of families and othere, representing about 792 individuals. The contributions have, lx>m coming in steadily du- ring the year, the oiull noticeable difference as compared with 1!J yoar hoing decroaoe in the Hadlwsv Mem'a C!ub, which is accounted for by tho ohœ made by Hie company in their staff -married mn with faaulios being promoted to ( _u- other placos, and being replaced by mostly single J men, who in many oases seem not to appreciate the 1t8 of ths Dispensary. It has also been found that the Disp ensary hours are not the most convenient for this class, and steps have been taken to remedy this defect Of Infirmary pa- tients from beyond the three miles limit there was last year few more oases than the year before. This year the deficit on the working of th Dispensary in M 8a 9d, being rather moro than 1Mf, y. and is accounted for by an increase of S2 in the expenditure and & decrease of £8 in the subscriptions. It may here be stated that the direct subscriptions to the Dis- pecsaiy tend to fall ot owing, it is belienred, to the spread of the idea that subscriptions to the Infirmary come to just the same thing. We have every reason to beMeve that the members ire satisfied with the working of the institution, and it is very rarely that we hear any com- plaints." The statement of accounts showed that the ex- penditure for the veor amounted to B104 14s 2d. To moot this subscriptions, etc., wore received amounting to M 58 5s, and the deficit of jB65 as 9d was made up b) the Infirmary. The President, in nw-wing tOO adoption and circulation of the foregoing reports andl ao- counts, said he did not know that he had very much to add to what he had stated in the re- port which was before the mooting. The one thing which stood ont prominently was the que&- tion of finance. It was a very great pity that they were obliged evetry year to repeat that they 9ould not make both ends meet. It was tdeo much to be regrotted that this year they had been obliged to draw upon the capital account of the institution to the extent of 9376. That amount was, however, not for one year, but It was on accumulation of deficit for two years, but still this sum did not exactly make both ends balance; they were still slightly in debt altho'-jh they hald tdrawn tupoln their Capital aooouitt to 'the oxtcaxt mmod. The accounts, which were before the subscribers, had been prepared in the usual way so that it could be seen at a glance what the cost of carrying on the institution during the year had been, and compare the expenditure with that of the pre- vious year. He was sorry to sty that there; had fbeen a doorcase in the amount of donations and collections. They found that although the col- lections received from ohurches had slightly in- creased, yet the collections from chapels had decreased. With regard to the annual sub- scriptions it was veryi regrettable that when any subscribers died they 11ad apparently nobody coming forward to succeed them as supporters of the institution. This year there had been a decroasc of jB8 58 6d in the annual subscrip- tions. He did not know why it' was, but it was A pity they oauld not find successors to annual subscribers who had died, and whow subscriptions thus oeaseidL There was agam the question of the amount received in interest and dividend on invested capital, the decrease under this heading this year amounting to F,8 58 3d. He attributed this to the fact that at present money ?m liInvt *w plentiful, and r-ti-I the interests and dividends deae.med. On looking cww the aomuitg of the Infirmary some might be inclined to say that it onst a great deal to treat cases in the institution. No doubt it did cost a -luge I amount for each cam But it should be borne in imdnd that nearly; the whole of the cases treated iin ithe Iiifiwoasry were surgical oases, which necessitated' great expenditure to treat I dwm, because it required special k*ltrmmt%i very often special treatmmt, sM therefore an I increase in the oost as oomparedi with ordinary oases. As in past years their thanks were due very much to the medical gentlemen who oamo to the institution diaily-and hourly when their services were re- quired—to administer to the wants of those who required theiir assistance. Their thanks were especially due to the honorary officers for the attention they had given to the institution. There was also another gentleman, the cha.p- lain, who had admirably performed voluntary duties in administering to the spiritual wants of thoeo in the Infirmary. Samo might be in- clined toO think that the 'benefits of the inetitu- tion;! were simply confined to nursing and sur- I gioal appliances. So iBar as the ^nursing was ooneomed, they took probationers into the In- I firmary, and it wao put of the routine of the institution—and it had been, well carried out in I past yoo.rs-to instruct the? nurses in the way of performing their duties. It was, perhaps, not generally known outside that their medical officer, the house surgeon, took upon himself to instruct the nurses and' to give lectures aa to tho treatment of cases and the way the nurses should perform their duties. This, he thought, considerably helped them to send out from the institution nurses who were thoroughly oa.pa.ble of performing their ctutiea HeI, therefore, thought their medical officer was well deserving of theiii thanks for the manner in whiob he bad carried out his duties, which, he understood, had been most satisfactorily performed during the past year. He was enbreaaely sorry th&t J"m!. and Lady Psnrhyn ware not present that day, because he felt that they were the very greatest friends of that institution (hear, hear). Whenever anything seemed to be required they always came forward with their generous sup- port. Even at the last meeting of the oommit- too, when a suggestion' came from the medical staff that a milk steriliser should be procured for the. institution. Lord Penrhyn, who was present, at once aaidl it would give him great pleasure to bear tha oost of a steriliser (hear, h-Mr). He hoped that this example of Lord Penrhyn might be followed by others. Con- tinuing, he said that they felt that, the Infirmary was an institution which belonged to Carnar- vonshire and Anglesey, and that it was an in- stitution which required the good feeling of the inhabitants of the two counties. It was an institution that was not for the benefit of the rich, but for the benefit of those who could; not afford to have the best surgical appliances. Al- though this year their hearts were carried away to distanb lands whore their soldiers were serv- ing their country in a way tha.t something ought kA>e done for their wives and families, yet he thought at the same time that this institution, which was at their very doors, ought to a cer- tain extent to receive their sympathy and sup- pm-ti Hift was imrronaIy sorry that the ac- counts rather showed that there was some lack of sy" mpathy amongst them for those poor people who were obliged to oomø to the Infirmary. He regretted that that meeting was not more re- presentative. It was sometimes said that when people refrained from! coming to a meeting it rather indicated that they were satisfied with the way the institution was carried on and that they had no complaint. He hoped that that might be the only reason for that meeting not being more representative (laughter and hear, hear). He expressed the hope that those who were already subscribers would endeavour their utmost to induce others to become subscribem to the Ifundte of bh,, institution. During the past year they had reoeived many nice and ac- ceptable presents I such gifts were always very gladly received. He could assure the sub- scribers that the work of the institution had been carried on with 'efficiency and even- pos- sible economy, with due regard to the interests of all subscribers. He incidentally mentioned tho drainage of the Infirmary and said that cer- tain reeomaiendatiom had been made as to its improvement. This would entail an additional expenditure, but it was a matter which would iiave to be considered by the General Commitr u" In the omn-so of thei past year the institu- tion waa for a period partially closed, which to a certain extent accounted for the slight decrease in the number of cases treated as compared with the previous y. Referring to the report of the Provident Dispensary he said he gathered that it waa to a certain extent gaining ground. Tho Itdv. W. Ediwtairtto jseoondjed the- pro- posal. The Bishop of Bangor said he desired. to mako a suggestion, though he doubted whether, after hearing the president's remarks, this would be the proper time to bring it forward. However, ho would only make the suggestion. There was one thing which, in his opinion, would add very much to the happiness of those who were ob- liged to come to the Infirmary, and that the provision of a chapel if at any time the com- mittee ild see their way ro adopt the sug- gestion. He believed that at present the ac- commodation for religious worship wis not quite what one would wish in an institution of that kind. He knew that in hospitals at which he bad had the privilege of ministering that the fact of there being a chapel in the building was very often a source of comfort and happiness to the sidk people who were there. The President said he fully agreed with what the Lord Bishop had said, but the question of fuwfa stood in the way. There were a number of <Aher things as well which they wtmH like to see in that institution, but lack of funds pro- vented them from carrying out any suggestion of the kind at present. The motion was then cairriod. ETIWTIO-N OF ZREISRDEM. I The Bishop of Bangor proposed the rev-election II of Mr Hairry degg as president for the ensuing year. He thought that any one lisbetnizq; to the admirable and clear statement made by Mr Olegg in moving the adoption of the reports could not fail to see how thoroughly versed he was in all that appertained to this institution. Any other president they might elect would un- doubtedly do his best, but it would take him some time to learn the work so thoroughly as Mr Clegg now knew it. Dr. E. J. (Lloyd seconded, and said be felt sure they could not do better than re-elect Mr Clegg. the motion, Dr. Langford Jones, in suppthe motion, expressed (similar sentiments and said he did not think it would be possible for them to find any- one who took a more keen and sympathetic in- terest in the work of the institution. As one of the staff he (Dr. Langford Jones) should be glad to see Mr Clegg acoepting the office of president for another1 year. The Rev. W. Edwards also supported the motion, and said he had had the honour of be- ing oonnected with the Infirmary for a good number of years, and he felt certain that they cqiild not do! 'better than retain OSfr Clogg as president of the institution. On former occa- sions when they re-elected Mr OIegsr they had larger and more representative meetings, and he felt sure that those who were absent from the meeting that day would thoroughly agree with the action of the meeting now in further re-electing Mr Clegg. Froon what had transpired from 'time to time he knew that Lord and Lady Penrhyn, who took such interest in this institution, had a sincere desire that Mr Clogg should, continue in office as president. He thought that if they looked back they! would find that the mstntu- tion had steadily increased in support and efficiency Mr Clegg hadj presided over it. The motion was carried unanimously, the President adding that he had always taken a deep interest in the affairs of Ithe institutdarh He had tried to object to being re-elected presi- dent, but it seemed to be no good (laughter and hear, hear). He therefore had pleasure in ac- cepting office for another year (hear, hear), and thanked them for his re-election. GENERAIL COMMITTEE. The President expressed the opinion that it would prove more workable if the number of members on this committee was limited to! Ith, The Rev. W. Edwards suggested that it would be better not to omit any names at present. No doubt there were several on the committee who could not attend the meetings, yet they were good supporters of the matitutaoii. He proposed) Ithiat the Gelmeraflj |Cotamm5ttee be ro- elected, and suggested that in the event of any vacancies occurring no steps should be taken to fill them d in that way th? number of BMm? beta oould be reduced to thirty as suggested by thd president, Mr D. G. Davies secondt4 and the motion was carried. The committee as re-elected is as follows: Mr Harry Clegg (president), the Lord Bishop of Ba.ngor, Lord Penrhyn, I-adir Penrhyn, the Dean of Bangor, Rev. W. Edwards, Dr. Hughes, (Monel Platt, Mr Robert Davies, Mr T. Lewis (Gartherwen), Mr W. Pughe, Mr J. Gljnno Jones, Mr R. H. Pritchard, Professor E. V. Arnold, Dr. H. Grey Edwards, Dr. Lloyd, Dr. R. Jones, Dr. Langford Jones, Mr C. F. Pnest- ley Rev. H. Davies Owen, Mr Thomas Pnohard, Mr E. A. Young, Dr. Price, Mr D. Cameron, Mrs Edwards, Mr W. A. Foster, Miss Davit- (Treborth), Miss Wynne Jones, Rev. Canon Ro- bert, WilIiajM, MT J. IL Bmwn, Mr H. A. DuC, Mr W. A. D,,rbihir?, Mr W. Bdw-d- (Glasinfryn). TREASURER AND AUDITORS. On the motion of Mr W. A- Foster, second- ed by Dr. H. Grey Edwards, Lloyd's Bank (Bangor) were re-elected honorary treasurers. On the motion of Dr. Lwigford Jones, seconded by Mr W. A. Foster, Messrs Jolm Pritchard (Bodhyfryd) and W. Pughe, J.P., were re-elected honorary auditors., On the motion of the President, seconded by Miss Wynne Jones, a vote of thanks was 110- corded to then! for their past services, a similar compliment being paid to the him. medical staff and the hon. chaplain, SUGGESTIONS. The Rev. W. Edwards euggested that it would be an advantage if, in future, the names of members of the cammittoe were circulated with the reports for the information of those attending the annual meeting. The President intimated that this suggestion would be & te-d by the &crobw Mr D. G=es mid that in looking over the list of collections from churehea amd chapels he found a considerable number amounting to one! guinea. He did not know whether that re- presented a collection or whether this amount had been allotted to the Infirmary from a col- lection made. He thought that if a collection waa made towards the Infirmary the whole of it would -be sent to the institution and not a fixed subscription. In certain connections where he was interested he would take care to bring this matter forward. He asked if the secretary could not also draw attention to it. The Secretary said that this year a circular had been sent to all the chapels iq the two counties asking for collections towards the infirmary. He did not see how they could very well again draw the attention of the authorities to the fact that they had only sent a guinea. The; President said he thanked Mr Davies for drawing attention to this matter. He must con- fess he did not think it was quite fair not to send in the whole collection. Be knew that in some instances in his own church it would be announced that there would be a collection. for the infirmary, !but Bofaaethiimg else would be added and the Infirmary would get a guinea while the other object would get the remainder. The proceedings then terminated. MEETING OF THE GENERAL COMMITTEE. A meeting of the General Committee was held immediately after the conclusion of the an- nual meeting, when there were present:—Mr 01 egg (in the chair), Mrs Edwards, Miss Davies, Miss WJlme Jones, tho Bishop, Rev. W. Edwards, Dr. R. L. Jones, Dr. Lloyd, and Dr. Price. The following Bouse Committee was elected: —'Lady Penrhyn, Miss Davies, Miss Wynn-o Jones, Rev. W. Edwards, Mr E. A. Young, Mr C. F. PriwUey, and Mr D. Cameron. The Dispensary Committee was also elected as follows —Lord Penrhyn, Lady Penrhyn, Mr R. H. Pritchard, Mr 0. Poezi, Mr E. A. Young, Mr J. Griffith (Bee Hive), Mr W. Edwards (Glasin- fryn), Mr W. A. Foster, and Mr W. O. Clarke. Dr. Thomas was unanimously elected upon the medical staff of the dispensary. It was decided to call a special meeting of the Houso Committee for Friday next to oonsddtor the report as to the drainage.

1 THE CASftABVON CEOIE AT…
1 THE CASftABVON CEOIE AT WMSOR. Following up the compliment which the Queen TO two or three occasions paid te Weløh. choral sinor-q, as represented by the southern part of tins Princi- pality, her Majesty last week conferred a amilar honour on North Wales by commanding the famous Eryri Male Voice Choir -to appear at Windsor on Friday night. Tbi. choir, which sang before their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Dncbsss of York at Carnarvon Castie last summer, consists of 50 members, dratted. from Gaimarvon and Lianberis, about ote-ham of them being employed at the Dinorwic Slate Quarries. The choir has no .,m fessionals. Its conductor is Mr John Williams, organist of Christ Obamb, Carnarvon, and a choral conductor for upwards of twenty years. In the pro- gramme submitted to the Queen, the inevitable "Soldiers' Chom" fvm "Faust" was included, but the programme was returned with a request that the piece should be omitted, as her Majesty "did not like it." Consequently, the fine chorus, "On the Ramparts," was substituted. The programme as finally approved was as fouowti "God Save the Queen" (arranged for male voices by J. Williams). by "MMch of the Men of Harlech," in Welsh (ar- ranged by J. Williams). Solo and chorus, "Recognition of Land" (Greig); soloist, J. Thonns. Part song and solo, "We are the Young Musicians" Par :n6 went,"), in Welsh; soloist, James Jones. Chorus, "On tJwdWnparts" (8&mtis). Selection of WeM* melodies (arranged by Dr. Roland Rogers). Solo and chorus, "Land of My Fathers," in Welsh; soloist, J. Peris Jones. Ohorus, "Martyrs of the Arena" (De Rille). "God Bless the Prince of Wales" and the National Anthem (both in Welsh). Unforbunatelr, the first intelligence conveyed to the choir upon its arirval was that her Majesty wouid not be able to attend the concert. Tbe c Lir re- paired to the castle about mine o'clod. Keen disappointment was felt at the absence of her Majesty from the concert. There was in "t. George's Hall an audience of about 150, the front seats being occupied by, among others, the German Emperor and Empress and the Prince of Wales. The proceedings were behind time in rting, which resulted in one or two items being omitted, by the Prince of Wales's request. The choir sang with great effect and remarkable precision, and frequent marks of approval were discernible among their illustrious auditors. At the close of the ooncert, the Prince of Wal,es beckoned to Mr John Wilbams, who went forward, and was presented to the German Emperor. The Prince, addressing Mr Williams, said that the sing- ing of the choir was beautiful, and it bad been enjoved very much. The voices were so pure, and ve 7 ? 1--l b his Roya? Hi?hneaa thought the singdng very much like Swedish singing, wMIe a good many of the words mng seemed to resemble Swedish. Then bis Majesty the Emperor engaged in an animated conversation with, the conductor, and said that they were all highly delighted with the sing- ing of the choir. He complimented them all on their lovely voices, their precision of movement, and their obedience to the baton. Their singing was not like English singing ;i it was more Lke GeTman. because tney opened their mouths and sang out. His Majesty added that the Empress, who spoke Danish, said that she had recognised in the Welsh pieces mapy words similar to some found in the Danish language. He repeated that they were very much obliged to the choir, and wished the con- ductor, whom he shook heartily by the hand, to convey their thanks to the choir. The Prince of Wales, a.gain turning to Mr Wil- liams, remarked that her Majesty the Queen desired the Prince to present him with a baton, which was thereupon handed to MT Williams. the Zu Mr Williams retired, the Emperor bowed graciously, and the Duke of Connaught expressed his appreciation of the excellence of the sinking. The baton is of white ebony, and bears the letters "V.R. set in diamonds, and on the top there i. a. coronet similarly set.
I [From a Correspondent with…
[From a Correspondent with the ChDir. I The proceedings at Windsor Castle were marred' only by the absence of the powerful Sovereign and beloved woman whom many of us had expected to see for the first time. That the Queen's attendance was improbable we had learnt en route. We had seen it in the mormng papers, but as is the wont of people who hope for the best, we put the bad news down to the pro- verbial "omniscience" of London journalists and chose to wait until such time as we should be able to decide the matter with our own eyes. "If there was a change we should certainly have been notified by wire" was the view promulgated with beautiful uunplicity by one of the second tenors, and in this we. all agreed. It, however, transpired that the papers were this timej some- where near themark. The conductor and secre- tary had a look in at the St. George's Hall—the room set apart for the concertr-soon after our arrival at Windsor and were informed, by Sir Walter Parratt that there was a probability of Her Majesty being at the concert for a few min- utes. Hence the enthusiasm and spirit which characterised the choir's last rehearsal before entering upon the serious task of the evening. We reached the Royal borough shortly before five D'elock, having been at the mercy of the railway companies from dawn till dusk. The station, even by the faint glimmer of dying day and subdued gaslight, looked 'bright with its decorations of red, white and blue. We proudly regarded these decorations as the first visible sign of the reception awaiting us until one more thoughtful than the rest recollected that there were other and more august guests in the town that dlay; and a quarter of an hour later we must have appeared a very ordinary lot of mortals as the Royal carriages dashed from the station with the Emperor and Empress of Germany, the Prince of Wales, and other dis- tinguished occupants, on their return from Blen, heim. With rasping -pp-ti" we sat to a sub- stantial tea provided for us by Royal forethought at the White Hart Hotel, where, by the way, a few months ago the Rhondda Glee Society partook of a similar hospitality. From the hotel to the castle is but a stone's throw. The ponderous mass of buildings-so familiar to all of us in picture,filled the landscape right in front of 113 so that a walk of two or three hundredl yards sufficed to bring ua past the sentries and redr coated servants and into the great hall which was to be our ultimate destination. The room- long, lofty, and' somewhat narrow—was an im- posing sight. It was resplendent with vari- ri.?,,P.gh i, ?i d., which seemed to be the general scheme of decoration. These devices literally oovered the oaken roof and must have numbered several hundreds, while those on the,walls had the advantage of being lighted up by triple- bracket lamps with groundhglass globes. As we stepped cautiously along we espied one of the tables which only two nights before in the same room had done service at the gorgeous State banquet. The illustrious company which had sat down to the feast had dispersedi and the fabulous wealth of gold plate had been carefully put aside—only the table remained as a solitary reminiscent of that historic gathering. The mid- dle of the room, contained chairs and benches, the former decorated with gold and the benches covered with rich. plush. There was accommo- dation for about 140. Almost at the other ex- treme end was a temporery platform, rising in tiers, to which the members of the choir were directed. At this point we were separated from the Royal party by about 15 yards. For a short time we had thg place to ourselves, as the only other occupants were Sir Walter Parratt and a few attendants. We speedily overcame the first feeling of awe which possessed us upon entering and the subsequent half-hour was spent in watch- ing th- passage of certain notabilities from a room on the left to another on the right, from whence afterwards came the hum of animated conversation and the music of laughter. The clock in the neighbouring great tower had sounded the hour of ten when from the room on the right there emerged a number of elaborately dressed ladies. Our principal "patrons" had evidently not yet come in, for the first fair arrivals took their seats in the midldle position, leaving the front chairs unoccupied. Then the guests filed in in a constant stream, and last of 'all there arrived the Royal personages, about eight in-number. The kindly open face of the Prince of Wales roadie< us at once more homely. H.R.H. was accompanied by the Emperor and Empress of Germany, the Princess Louise, the Duke of Connaught, and others, whose indentity we vainly guessed,but the Queen was not of them. The Marquis of Larue was also pointed out to us as beang present, while the auditors seated at the back ileeme(I to have among them a large sprinkling of servants of the household. The firet bus of the National Anthem brought the audience instinctively^ to its feet, and, act befitted the place and occasion, the anthem wae sjuig (to English words) with a vigour only possible to CJymric voices. Then, after an interval of two or three seconds, "The March of the Mom of Harlech" was rendered. It was sung in Welsh with the fire and martial spirit ollll devouring host in battle array snd the effect on the audience was remarkable. The Prince of Wales woro a smile of oompletei satis- faction and the German Emperor gazed intently on the choir with head erect. There was no doubt an to the success of the performance, par- ticularly as at the close of it a demand for an encore roøe-though too faintly to be heard by al1--from more than one occupant of the front seato. From this onward the choir conquered at every point. The pianissimo parts in the" various items revealed the presence of absotute stillness among the audience, end on one occa- sion the Empress and the Prince of Wales signi- fied their appreciation by applauding with their hands. The singing throughout was magmnoent in spite of the heavy strain entailed by the rapi- dity with which the programme had to be got through. The hour had become so late that the Prince of Wales requested the omission of one of the choir's most favorite pieces, "The Martyrs of the Arena." A correspondent of 81 London paper preeMn? to my that the ourwlinent was due to the t4ou-- of the. programme. He evidently waa not present, otherwise he would have discovered the true and rational cause- It was for the same reason—time-—that the choir had to keep back specimens of Welsh hymn sing- ing and "The Watch on the Rhine," to the latter of which a special significance attached, But why talk of presumptions and inaccuracies I Did not .nearly all the English. papere who re- ported the concert make ludicrous muddle of the titles of the Welsh pieces, and was nob your worthy fellow-townsman (Dr. Roland Rogers) given a name by the most sedata of the London journals which' no Gorsedld in the world would have recognised ? The ooncert was over before 11.30, and as we left the castle we had the satis- faction of knowing that though not actually pre- sent in the hall the gracious lady who honoured the choir with the Royal command heard the singing from an adjoining apartment, Before leaving Mr John Williams, the conductor, was presented by H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, m behalf of Ber Majesty the Queen with» hand- some baton bearing the letters V.R. set in diamonds. In addition to the conductor and secretary of the choir the accompanist (Mr Rich- ard Pritchard) rendered most valuable services.
I ,THE CHOIR. AT NORTHAMPTON.
I THE CHOIR. AT NORTHAMPTON. On their journey home, the Eryri Male Voice Choir made a stay at Northampton, where they sang at a concert given in the Corn Exchange in aid of the Mayor's Patriotic Relief Fund. The announce ment by the Cambrian Society of Northampton that the Welsh singers would visit that town had caused no little enthusiasm, so that when the members of the choir alighted at the railway station they met with a cordial reception. Three large brakes were in readiness to convey the visitors to the Corn Ex- change, where they met with an enthusiastic re- ception from the lar d' nee assembled to hear the famous North W:si:.c:nd:en%I:: ship of Mr John Williams. The programme was as follows "God Save the Queen." Chorus, "Ymgyrch Gwyr Harlech" (arranged by John Williams). Chorus, "Recognition of Land" (Edward ureig); baritone solo, Robert R. Thomas. Chorus, "On the Ramparts" (A. Saintis). Selection of Welsh melodies (arranged by Dr. Roland Rogers), "Toriad y Dydd," Codiad yr Ehedydd," "Yn Nyffryn Clwyd," "Serch Hudol.' Solo and chorus. Hen Wlad fy Nhadau;" tenor solo, John Peris Jones. Chorus, "Martyrs of the Arena" (De Rille); quartet, J. Peris Jones, J. Cottrell, Hugh Jones, H. Davies. (a) "Ar D'wvsog Gwlad y Bryniau," b) "Duw Gadwo'r Frenhines." The band of the 1st Volunteer Battalion North- amptonshire Regiment also played several items, including a selection of Welsh, melodies.
I BANGOR SCHOOL BOARD. I
I BANGOR SCHOOL BOARD. The monthly meeting of the above Board was hielld on Wiedtnesdhy evening, Principal John Pries (chairman) occupying the chair. The Ii- tendance included: Dr. R. W. Phillips, Pro- fessor E. V. Arnold, Principal Silas Morris, Mr A. '0. Dowito (clerk), and Mr W. U. Jonee (at- ttndance Offbeer). ST. PAUL'S SCHOOLS. The Head Teacher of the St. Paul's Mixed School reported that the number on the regis- ters last month was 439 as compared with 412 fur the corresponding period Ilt year. The average attendance. was 402 as against 332 for the same month last year. The Head Teacher of the Infants' School re- ported the number on the registers last month to be 183 as compared' with 187, the average attendance being 128.1 8fI compared with 114. In has report Mr T. J. Williams, headmaster of the Mixed School, asked if the Board would take into their consideration the advisability of warming the Tooms by means of a heating ap- paratus instead of by stoves as at present. Dr. Phillips thought the expense of carrying this out would be more than the Board could undertake. It was proposed that the clerk should enquire as to tho probable cost of erecting heating ap- paratus, it being understood that the inquiry wag sinmlv for information. GAIITII WHOOLS. I The Head) Teacher of tho Mixed School re- ported the number on tho registers to be 255 as against 243 for the corresponding month last year. The average attendance was 206 as com- pa.rOOl with 176. The Head Teacher of the Infante' School re- ported that, th,e number on the register w'M 152 as compared with 175, the average attendance being fJ7 as compared with 92. One of the teachers, Miss lizzie Jones, ap- plied) for an increase of salary. It was decided on the motion of the Chair- man, seconded by Principal Morris, to grant her a bonus of £ 5. It wias understood that aooording to the scale under which the Board were working that she was not legally entitled to an increase of salary. GLA1NADDA SCHOOL. The Headmistress reported the number on I registers to be 239 as compared with 250, the average attendance being 185 as oampared- with 188. PUlPII, TEACHERS' CENTRAL CLASSES. I From the. report of the Head Teacher (Mr T. K Jones) it did not appear that them was any- thing of importance to communicate to the Board. It was stated that the magic lantern, ordered to be purchased by the 'Board, had come to hand, and. Messrs Camell and Clo. had promised the free loan of 28 slides to illustrate one cf their books entitled, "Round the Em- pire." This offer had been accepted. LABOUR CERTIFICATES. In response to a communication from the Sohool Attendance Committee, Mr Edward Ro- berts, H. M. Inspector, wrote that he would be glad to conduct examinations, for the purpose of granting labour certificates, twice a year in any months named bv the committee. The Attendance Officer stated that he had heen consulting with the teachers, and the latter were almost all favourable to the holding of such examinations in the months of January and July. On the motion of Professor Arnold, seconded by Principal Morris, the clerk was infracted t.ri 'aommundoja'te with thn inspector with the view to arranging for the holding of examina- tion,, accordingly in the schools within the area of tho Board. ■PROPOSED (HIGHER GRADE SOHOOL. The suggestion that the Board should estab- lish a High er Grade Sohool in Bangor was made at a previous meeting by Mrs H. O. Hughes. A committee was appointed to take the matter into consideration, and to report thereon to the Board. It was now stated that the committee kid' not met Dr. Phillips said he did not think it would be possible for the committee to move in the ¡ matter unless they had some definite proposal before tboa. With regard to the suggestion that the old Friers Sohool building might be utilised for the purp0809 of o Higher Grade Sehoo!, he thought they sMwild first oommuni- eMe with the Friars Land Syndicate to inquire if it would be possible to get the Friars School buildings for a term of years, and if so what alterations the Syndicate would be prepared to mate to the buil He thought that: un- j less the committee formjilated a proposal of eome soft to submit, to the (Syndicate there was no good the committee meeting. The Chairman asked if it was understood that the old Friars School Was to be the place far a Higher Grade School if the suggestion waa car- ried out. Dr. Phillips said it was not there was only a tentative discussion on the matter. The ideoa at the last Board was that, if the terms were favourable, it might be possible to utilise the old Friars School instead of building new pre- mises. Before anything of the kind could be carried oat they would, of course, require the sanction of the Education Department. He did not think it would be of any use the oom- mittee meeting to discuss this matter apart from some representative of the Friars Land Syndi- cate. If the Board were to instruct their clerk to ask the Syndicate to appoint representatives to meet the committee then it would pave the way for the committee to take some action, The Chairman remarked that he did not very much favour the idea of acquiring the old Friars Schocfl premises. T%!ey had already exper- iemee<? a great de&l of trouble in the OMe of St. Paul's School in trying to adapt an old building to more mcxtern requirements. Hie would be more inclined to going in for new buildings. At the same time he thought no harm would be done in adopting the course suggested by Dr. Phi. It was eventually decided on the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Dr. Phillips, that the clerk should ask the Friars Syndicate to appoint representatives to meet the committee on ttiis matter. I FINANCIAL. The Clerk submitted1 the accounts of the Board for the year ended September 29th last, which had been duly sud-ited by the District Auditor, and found correct. In reply to the Chairman, the dork stated that the amount standing to the credit of the Board at the end of the financial year was 2136 2a 5d, as compared with 2394 6s 9d at the end of the previous ifnancial year. There was a sum of £ 1143 3s 6d due to the bank on account of -the St. Paul's School loan, but that would be cleared eff when the Board received the neces- sary sanction to borrow the amount required.
I BANGOR AND THE TRANSVAAL…
I BANGOR AND THE TRANSVAAL WAB BELIEF FUND. On Thursday evening the Mayor of Bangor (Alderman J. E. Roberts) presided over a puiblio meeting which was held in the M4strateW Room, Bangor, to make the necessary anrange- menta for organising a local relief fund in con- nection with the county fund initiated by the Lord-lieutenant Communications regretting in- ability to attend and heartily sympathising with the movement were received from the Lord Bishop of Bangor, Lord Penrhyn, the Rev. W. Edwards, Mr W. Pughe, J.P., Principal John Prioe, and Councillor David Owen. The Mayor explained' that he had attanded the meeting which the LoTd-lieutenant had sum- moned at Carnarvon, and as requested by the Bangor City UounoU he had on their behalf stated that they would heartily co-operate in the movement initiated at) the county meeting. He was very pleased to say that very good work had I' already been done at Bangor by the Misses Aronson, who had collected about £ 112—(cheers) —inonnaciion with the "Daily Telegraph" war relief fund. The Misses Aronson had, however, expressed their willingness to hand over the amount collected by them to the county fund, a fact which he (the Mayor) had much pleasure in announcing to the county meeting at Carnarvon. He believed there had been other collections at Bangor on a smaller scale, and, if he was rightly informed, the children of one of the Board Schools in the town had collected in pennies about JM. He had called this public meeting at the request of several influential gentlemen in the town. He was pure they were all agreed upon the advisability of initiating a movement iri the town for such a good object as the relief of the wives and families of our soldiers who were fighting fur their country in the Transvaal. They were much indebted to the Misses Aronson I for the work they had already done in this di- rection at Bangor. There might be differences of opinion as to the necessity for and the justice of this war (cries of "no, no"), still he believed they were all agreed as to the necessity of re- lieving those who suffered in consequence of it, and the way they could show their admiration of our soldiers was by supporting the fund for the relief of their wives and famiHee (hear, hear). Principal Reichel moved "That a local Trans- vaal war relief fund be opened in Bangor in con- necticfn mith tho Lord-lieuteaiajvt's fund." It seemed to him that one of their first duties as citizens was to do what they could on behalf of the soldiers who had gone out to fight in the cause of their fellow-countrymen. He did not know whether this fund was intended for the widows and orphans or for the families of the soldiers. The Mayor said it would be in connection with the county fund which would be for the benefit of the Welsh Fusiliers and the reservists of this county. Principal Reich-el, continuing, said that pro- bably this war would last longer than, vras at first anticipated', and it required an effort on the part of those desirous of making provision for the families of those who had gone to the front. TMB,Was a national war in the sen6& that it was a war to maintain the national position in South Africa. It had /been w recognised by the pe0- ple of this mmtry and the 0014Dni oYs. ic; should all be prepared to take some part in it, and those who were at homo would bo shirking their duty if they did not do their best on be- half of the families of the soldiers who were fighting for their country (cheers). Alderman Thomas Lewis seconded, and said he believed they all heartily approved of this movement and they should do their utmost to carry out its object A great and wealthy oun- try like Great Britain would be well able to sup- port the widows and orphans of our soldiers from the public funds, but the voluntary subscriptions of the people would better show their apprecia- tion of the brave soldiers fighting in a distant land (cheers). The soldiers were doing their work in a good and effectual manner. He ventured to think; that those at home should be prepared to make a sacrifice on behalf of their fellow-countrymen who were fighting on their behalf (hear, hear). Ho trusted that the move- ment would meet with heartystippoit in Bangor. Councillor David Williams, in supporting, said that he wished to act on the Mayor's hint not to discuss the causes of the war. Still he thought it was a satisfaction to feel that in aiding a movement of this kind they were supporting 8: righteous cause. If he was to say anything of the wax he would say that he was quite prepared, to allow the justification of the war to rest on the admirable' Statements which ihad been made during the week by the authorised spokesmen of Her Majesty's Government as well as by such statesmen as Sir Henry Fowler, Sir Edward Grey, and Mr Asquith. He agreed with Prind- pal Reicliel that this was eminently a national war (hear, hear). Such a consideration made the duty of assisting a movement of this kind doubly incumbent upon every patriot. Yet, allowing for differences of opinion on tie pol- itical aspect, they still remained under a debt of gratitude to their soldiers who had so nobly re- sponded to their country's call (cheers). When they compared the number of the reservists who had been called up with the number who had responded to the call he thought the response was a remarkable proof that our soldiers could still be depended upon to do their duty as in the past, (cheers). And no one could read the daily accounts, of the battles fought in the Transvaal without A feeling of pride in O»T soldiers. They: had shown dmt they were of the same stuff ae the heroes whose deeds were enshrined in the most stilting of our English verse. But the duty of those who stayed at bomo did not stop at admitaxioni of a soldier, Admiration and j r gratitude abould find a vent in the performance of the obvious duty of caring for those whose protectors had gone to the front. There was no question as to the sacrifices made by the soldier in quitting his homeland loved ones in order to occupy the post of danger: there should be no reluctance on tho parti of the population at home to make sacrifices in ferder to make proper TO- visien for the familieS of the soldiem. He es- pecially wished to emphasise that this was a case for extra swrific6 Because people contri- buted to. this fund, they ought not to withdraw their eupport from philanthropic institution* like infirmaries and hospitals. A special duty demanded a special effort, andheheped it would be made (cheers). The resolution was earned. AJktenman Gjrejy Bdiwanfe, proposed that a committee be appointed to carry out alls the no- cessafy arrangements, the oommittee to consist of. those present at the meeting and the gentle- men who had written expressing inability to at- tend, with power to add to their number. There was no doubt a necessity a present for & move- was no doubt a neoewq ment of this kiridand they had noble examples all over the country of generous support to the war fund. He was of opinion that there was some lack of organisation, to find out people who required such help as the war fund intended to give, and he mstMMed two cases in London gzi,? were OWY brought to light through the medium of the ooroner's court. The committee they now proposed to appoint wtrnM, he felt cer- tain, work thoroughly and heartily to get sub- scriptions from all classes. If they considered the mortality in the Peninsular wars what must it be in a war now when the most modem armaments were used. For the freedom which they enjoyed in this country they were indebted to the soldiers and sailors of the. Queen, and it was their duty to help those who had gone out prepared to shed their b:ood for tLf]dr oountry (hoor, hear). He thought that every member of the committee would do all in his power to pro- mote the fund and bring it up to such an amount that it would not only help Tommy Atkins and his family but that it would be a credit to Bangor (cheers). Alderman Henry Lewis seconded, and said he thought they were agreed that in this war they were going to win and that they would support those who helped to bring that victory about. If their arms were victorious it would meae liberty and freedom in South Africa. They must how their sympathy in a very marked Way with those who would be in suffering and distress OIl account of the war (hear, hear). Councillor Langford Jones supported, and said he felt sure this fund -would meet with the hearty and general support of the people. Councillor T. G. Williams suggested that em- ployers in the town should be asked to induce their employees to contribute a weekly sum dur- ing the continuance of the war. He also sug- gested that a collecting box should be placed by the Town Clock to give visitors an opportunity of contributing. The motion was carried. Alderman Savage proposed that the Mayor be chairman of the committee and that the Town Clerk (Mr R. H. Pritchard) and the Deputy- Town Clerk (Mr J. A. Rodway) should act as honorary secretaries. This was seconded by Councillor T. J. Wil- liams and supported by Mr L H. Aronson. Councillor E. O. Price said he did not approve of oonfining the fund to the 23rd Regimental district as he thought in that way some branches of the service would not be included. He favoured a national fund and a general distribu- tion. Mr J. Humphreys expressed similar views. The Mayor said that at the lord-lioutenaites meeting a very broad view was taken of the mat- ter in connection with the county fund. A small committee had been appointed to deal with CMM. of emergency. He had no hesitation, in saying that that committee would deal with everybody in this county who might be affected by the war. The resolution was carried. Councillor W. A. Foster reminded the meet- ing that Mrs Assheton Smith had arranged far & grand ooncert to be given at the Penrhyn Hall on Wednesday, December 13th. She was herself undertaking the whole of the expense and the proceeds would be entirely handed over to the war fund (cheers). Subscriptions to the amounffl of B40 were pro- mised in the room. After the conclusion of the public meeting the committ-ae met to make arrangements for ool- lecting subscriptions throughout) the town.
POSTECOMIND PATRIOTIC CONCERT…
POSTECOMIND PATRIOTIC CONCERT AT BANGOB, The grand patriotic concert, which is being organised by Mrs Asshebon Smith, is to be held at the Penrhyn Hall, Bangor, on the afternoon of Wednesday, December 13bh, and is in aid of the widows and families of our soldiers and sail- ors fighting in South Afriea. The artistes will includte Herr Hugo Heinz, Miss Marianne Eissler (vooalist to H.R.H. the Duke of Saxe- Ooburg and Goths), Miss Clara. Eissler (harpist to H.R.H. the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha), iMr8 Preston, Mr Seth Ifughes, together with the Royal Eryri Male Voice Moir. Mrs Assheton Smith also hopes to nag at the con- cert. Dr. Roland Rogers will preside at the pianoforte. All the, artistes are giving their sec- vices gratuitously and Mrs Assheton Smith her- self undertakes the whole of the other expense, so that the proceeds will be handed over entirely to the relief fund. With such a number of talented artistes the concert is sure to be musical treat of a high order and we trust it will receive the extensive patronage of the peo- pie of Bangor and thesurrounding district as the deserving objeot to which the funds will be de- voted appeals- directly to the hearts of the peo- ple. Further details respecting the concert will be found in our advertisement columns to which wo desire to draw our readers' attention.
