MiRRlVGS OF MldS AIRD, OF LLANTYSILIO H \LL. On the lfjth inst.. Miss Kate Aird, third daughter of Mr John Aird, Llantysilio Hall, was married at St. Mark's Church, North Audley-street, London to Mr A. W. T. Bean, of Dansom Park. The ceremony was performed by the It.iv. George Graham, Vicar of Bexley, Kent. On the day in question, the village of Glyndyfrdwy presented a most animated appearance. To celebrate the event in a befitting manner, a com- mittee, with the Vicar, Rev. Geo. Williams, as chair- man. was formed to make the necessary arrangements. Subscriptions flowed in freely, amounting in the whole to about £30. The committee decide 1 to celebrate the marriage by giving tea to all the children of the parish, estimated at 400 tickets were, therefore, sent 'I to the British School and National School, and as many of the subscribers as resided in Llansantffraid I parish, the children of Llansantffraid National School I were also invited to join the Glyndyfrdwy School and in addition to the usual bell-ringing and cannon firing, there was a public dinner in the evening at the National School. The proceedings began as ear!y as nine a.m., when Mr Haynes, of Llantysilio, ou behalf of Mr Aird, distributed at the British S?'hoo). where the children of the two -chools had assembled, to each cbiU a silver ?xp?nee new frmn the mint, the number so distributed being 220. There was a lare number present to witness the distribution of these interesting mementoes of the happy event, and at the close ring- ing cheers were given hy the children for Air and Mrs Aird and family, and for the bride and bridegroom. The bells of the Parish Church and of the National and British Schools were rung at intervals of a quarter of an hour from 8.30 to 11 a.m., and again from 12 noon to 2.30, and at frequent intervals the loud reports of the three pieces of cannon, which had been posted on the heights above the village near Ty Cerrig Farm, reveberated from rock to rock, awaken- ing the echoes of the glens and mountain recesses of I the beautiful valley of the Dee. At one o'c! >ck the children and a large number of their friends met at the British School, where a procession was formed, marshalled by Mr W. E. Roberts, National School, in the folit)win, order:-Tlie Committee, the Glyndy- frdwy Brass Band, under the able conductor-hip of Mr W. C. Williams, British School (who gave their services gratuitously); the school children (National and British), carrying a profusion of flags and bannerets, which added much to the effect of the pro. Ci-ssion. Th-n followed the public in considerable numbers. The procession paraded the village as far as the Berwyn Arms Hotel, the band playing and the children singing alternately. At the Bsrwyn Arms the Glyndyfrdwy people were met by the children of the Llansantffraid National School and their friends, the children having been carried in a waggon kindly lent by M«- Hugh Jones, Penvbont Farm. Llansant- ffraid. The combined schools then saniz in front of the hotel for about half an hour, and with the greatest enthusiasm, a number of lines composed for the occasion by a local bard—Mr D. Jones (Dewi Ffraid), of Llansantffraid—to the well-known Welsh airs, "The March of the Men of Harlech," and 44 Glan Meddwdod Mwyn," printed copies of the poetry having been proviel,d by the Committee, and placed iu the hands of all the children. The procession was then reformed, and returned towards the British School, where tea was awaiting them. On the way a halt was made in front of the Sun Inn, where the children again sang, under the coti(iucl.-orsti;p of MrW. E. Roberts, National School, aud Mr Pugh, Llansant- ffraid Natio-itl School, respectively. On arriving at the ilritish School, the procession dispersed, and the children sat down to tea in relays, the girls first, then the boys, and afterwards their parents and friends. The schoolroom had been tastefully decorated with ferns and flowers whilst on the walls were dis- played the m..ttof's- God bless the happy pair," 14 Success to the bride and bridegroom," Long life to the happy pair." and the tea, which had been catered for by Mrs Roberts, Berwyn Arms, gave the greatest satisfaction.

After tea, the Lbmantffraid school returned homewards, starting about Sve o'clock. During the afternoon sports were held on the to? of the hi'l over- looking the village, in a field belonging to MrTnomas Jones, Tycerrig Farm. The sports included a number of fl it, s ick, and other races, tug of war, catching rabbits, &-c., whilst a large number amused themselves in games of \arious sorts, and in listening to the strains of the band. who played at intervals. The judges in the races were Messrs Edward Jones, timber merchant, and Thomas Jones, Tynyceubren; staiters, Messrs Edward Rob- erts, Co;d lal, Hugh Eastwick, Station master, and John Jones, Tycerryg. Whilst the sports were going on many persons climbed up the ste?p hillside to see the connon-firing, which was done by Messrs Owen Rowlands, Coed lal, Thomas Hughes, Vronheulog, and Ellis Evans, Ruthin. The following was the result of the races:-Flat race, boys under 6-1, William John, 2. Robert Roberts. Gins under 8-1, Polly Eastick, 2, Margaret Ann Evans.

At seven o'clock there was a public dinner at the  National School, which had been nicely decorated with flowers, ferns, &c., interspersed with mottoes suitable to the occasion. Tickets were taken by over sixty persons, and upwards of fifty gentlemen sat down to a capital dinner, which had been prepared by Mr and Mrs Edward Lloyd, of the Sun Inn. On the! tables were a number of choice flowers, and the » rangements made for the comfort and entertainment I of the guests were everything that could be desi: eJ. The following ladies kindly assisted the hosi and, hostess in waiting at the tablesMiss Williams, British School; Miss Jones, Minff .rdd Cottage Miss Jones, Aforuo; Miss Roberts, Tv'nyc_lyn, Miss Roberts, Dee Cottage; Miss Hughes, Penrallt; lr I Edwards, Sun-terrace; Mrs Paillips, Carrog Is-a; Miss White, Corwen Mrs Roberts, Ty Newydd; and Mrs Evans, ianygarth.

On Monday Mr and Mrs Bean arrived from | Leamington at Llangollen by the two p.m. train, and met with a hearty reception. On the platform the children of the National and Board Schools had been I' arranged four deep, and on the arrival of the train they struck up the lively air of "Jenny Jones to some verses which had been composed for the occasion by Mr James Clarke. The happy couple were wel- comed by the members of the committee, who were headed by the Rev. J. S. Jones, vicar. When they had entered the carriage, they were drawn, amid loud cheering, over the bridge and through a sonsiderable portion of the town. The enthusiasm of the men J induced them to continue the journey all the way to the Hall, a distance of two and a half miles. All along the route bunting was displayed, whilst at the top of the station drive, a beautiful double floral arch spanned both roads. At the entrance to the Hall, a ¡ number of neat and beautiful arches had also been erected, while festoons and devices of different designs spanned the road at several points along the way. From the slopes and summits of the surrounding Lills, cannons were tired throughout the day. On arriving at the Hall a circle was formed in front of the prin- cipal entrance, and Mr Jones, the vicar, presented the happy pair, in the name of the committee with a I b;:auiful illuminated address, mounted in a massive gilt frame. The Rev. Geo. Williams, vicar of Glyndyfrdwy, then read a copy of an address which was being got up by the people of his parish, but which, together with a carved oak chair, had not yet been completed. Mr Bean, in a few appropriate words, thanked them all for their very hearty welcome, and after- wards hospitably entertained the visitors. Tea was given during the day to the children of all the day schools in both parishes in their respective schools, with the exception of those from the town National School, who had their tea at the Bowling Green. In the evening about 70 sat down to an excellent dinner at the Grapes Hotel, when the Rev. J. S. Jones occupied the chair, and Air John Rowlands the vice- chair. The toilst of the evening, The Bride and Bride- groom," as well as that of Mr and Mrs Aird, were i drunk with great enthusiasm.

DENBIGHSHIRE QUARTER, SESSIONS. SATURDAY, OCTOBER ISTH. Before Captain uriffith-Boscawen, chairman; Lieut.-Colonel Hughes, Colonel Meredith, Edward Evans, Esq., T. P. Jcnes-Parry, Esq., Chas. Hughes, E-q., Dr. Ed. Davies, and Wm. Lexter, Esq. Major Leadbetter, chief constable, was also accommodated with a seat on the Bench. THE DENBIGH LICENSING APPEAL CASE. Mr J. Eldon Bankes and Mr E. H. Lloyd (in- structed by Mr Alun Lloyd, Ruthin), appeared to support an appeal against the decision of the justices lof the Denbigh Petty Sessional Division in refusing to renew the license of the Foresters' Arms beerhouse, Vale-street, Denbigh, held by Mr Thomas Adams.— Mr Douglas appeared for the respondent Justices.— The grounds of objection upon which the Denbigh Magistrates refused the renewal of the license were that the holder of the license had not for the last twelve months been the real resident and occupier of the house and premises referred to, and that in con- sequence thereof the house had not been ptoperly conducted. Mr Eldon Bankes contended that there were only four grounds of objection on which the re- fusal of the license could be based, aud one of the disqualifications was that no retail license should be granted to any person who should not be the real resident of the dwelling-house for which the license was applied. He submitted that the only ground of objection, therefore, in this notice was that Adams was not the real resident holder and occupier of the dwelling-house, and that it was not open for the Denbigh Magistrates nor that Court of Quarter Sessions to go into the question as to whether the house was of a disorderly character.—Mr Douglas said that if the Court held that view, his case would be worth very little, because the appellant had since gone to resid e at the house. He submitted that the question of the house having not been properly con- ducted could be gone into on the notice given, or without that notice, when the case had been adjourned by the Justices, and notice to the appellant given to attend the adjourned licensing sessions.—The Court ruled against Mr Bankes, who asked to have a case stated on the point as to whether the Justices below and the Justices in Qjarter Sessions were not bound by the ter:ns of the notice produced to the Court and could not go outside of it ?-.Nlr Douglas proceeding with the case, ca'led evidence as to the writing of a notice to the appellant requiring him to I attend the adjourned licensing sessions, which notice had been given to a post boy, but as this boy was not present, Mr Bankes took objection to the service of the notice and called the a!1- it J. i peuans anti ais wire, wno aenieu receiving any notice except a notice that was brought from Supt. Vaughan by a constable and thrown on to the counter at the Foresters' Arms.—Mr Douglas then applied for an adjournment in order to produce the post boy, but against the adoption of this course Mr Bankes strongly protested, submitting that the effect of it would be equivalent to fining his client 250 in the way of costs owing to pure negligence on the part of the respondents to prove their case.- After an adjournment, the Chairman announced that th* C urt had decided to adjourn the further hearing of the appeal until the 5th November.—Mr Bankes, upon this, offered to admit the service of the requisi- tion. for the sake of argument, and try the case on its merits, rather than subject his client to what he termed a 4" fine of 250," for that was practically what an adjournment would mean.—The Chairman said they could not, sitting as a Court of Quarter Sessions, accept such an admission after two witnesses had distinctly sworn that the notice had never been served.—Mr Bankes And I admit it, for the sake of argument, rather than pay a fine of £ 50 and be obliged to come here again.—The Chairman said his own feelings were strongly against hearing the appeal that day. He thought the whole matter should be thrashed out.—Mr Douglas li -ped the Court would adhere to their decision to adjourn the hearing, in order that he might have an opportunity of proving that the letter sent to the appellant from Mr Parry Jones' office, in Denbigh, reached its destination.— The Clerk of the Peace said the whole matter as to the adjournment wa3 entirely in the discreiion of the Court, and it was eventually agreed to adjourn the hearing until the 5th November, at Wrexham.—Mr Bankes said tha adjournment was caused by default on the otherside, and it was the universal rule in such a case that the costs of the appellant should be al- lowed for the day.—The Chairman said the Court d.c'.ined to entertain the qus-tioa of costs at present.

I SIR,—If the frightful efflavia arising out of the manholes on our Sewerage System is an indication of the progress of Sanitary Science, the le:1st said about it the better. As I was walking down King-street on Sunday, the smell arising from the Sewers there was positively oickening; and what was in that district is but an index of what is general all over the town. In the fac"- of this, is it to be wondered that the fevers of one kind or another are so prevalent in our midst. Cannot some plan of ventilation other than the one in vogue be adopted ? The o!d privy system with all its drawbacks was certai nly not worse than our present one. It is to be hoped that those 44 in authority" are giving the matter the consideration which it demands. —I am, &c., W.R. Wrexham, Oct. 21, 1884. THE WATER SUPPLY AT RHOSYMEDKE. j SIR,-All.ow me, through the columns of yotir widely circulated journal, to complain of the supply of water in Rhosymedre. The short supply at the present time is dreadful. At the early hours of the morning (say from four to six) you may observe work- men's wives travelling about from one place to another. even in Cefn, in search of the necessary quantity for domestic purposes. Ou many occasions there is none to be had, and hence the difficulty of preparing breakfast for the family. How is it that the authorities do not fulfil their engagements with tiie public in those matters—is there no water to supply the Reservoir sufficient for the wants of the labouring class, for I hear there are no complaints from the well-to-do portion of society. What makes the case worse is, that the Collector calls regularly for his water rates. I should most decidely suggest to the inhabitants to refuse to pay the rate until a. full suppiy is guaranteed.—I am, &c., A SUFFERER. REFORM OR DISESTABLISHMENT. Sin,-Your correspondent, under the above name, in a former letter states that Gwddelwern poor and unfortunate" has every year £ 300 taken away to swell the enormous revenue of St. Asaph Cathedral,, leaving the Vicar .HO. Some months ago your columns contained the report and recommendations of a Royal Commission, which states that was taken from parishes, of which Gwyddelwern was one, to pay the Vicars choral of the Cathedral, and they re- commend that in future, the number of Vicars choral shall be two, or not less than two, well versed in the Welsh language and havin, t200 a year each. The1 surplus of £.150 is to be dtvided amongst so many recipients that there will not be much left, for Ciwyddelwern. First the Dean, who has ALIre,t,ty C700 a year, is to hold the Rectory of St. Asaph, apparently a new benefice as if this was not enough, they gave him a glebe house, now held by the Ecclesiastical j Commissioners. The report says "that the Income of the Deanery is not enough to maintain adequately the position of the Dean, and the house attached to his office." Therefore he is to have a better house and more money to spend in it. He is to be Rector of St. Asaph also, endowment not stated. As the e sums will absorb at least X400 a year, the parish or parishes, whose tithes thus alienated support the Cathedral, will not retain much for themsel ves. One of t! e ph as upon which the augmentation of the Dean's income is defended is, that previous to the Cathedral Act, the income was over 1:2,000 a year To 14 run," as the Americans call it, this 44 English praying! wheel" in a small town, iu a Welsh county, they | recommend the following staff :—1 Dean. 6 Preben- daries, 7 Canons Cursal, 2 Vicars Chora', G Lay, Clerks, an Organist, 12 Choi isters, and such other officers as the Dean and Chapter may appoint • Each Canon is practically to hi,,ve nine months absence from duty, though paid for a year, and when in I residence, he need only deliver one sermon each Sunday and holyday. As if to endorse non-residence and plurality as a practice, with the approval of the Royal Commission, a possessor of a Canon' stall may I be a Vicars choral, receiving the payment for both. 1 Under the above circumstances it is clear that poor and unfortunate" tJwyddelwern, will be poor and j unfortunate still. The wh de scheme is a scand-d and i a disgrace to an age in which the reform of ail abuses, outside the Church establishment, is distinguishing feature. The only offset it has to the reform :r is, that before it can be carried out, the State Church in Wales, at least, will hav? become like that in frebml. a thing of the past.—I am, &c., A LlKEiiATio.vi.4f. ij ALmEHAHu.Mr. i „

Trade Intelligence. 'frafle InteJJigenoe. COAL AND IiWX. 1 BARROW, Monday.—There is rather a better tone ill the hematite pig iron trad-, and more numerous inquiries are reported, as well from home as from foreign consumers. There i., no variation in prices, although makers are firmer. A more liberal s inpiy of orders for steel are reported, and! it seems evident that the mills will be more bdskly emrJoyeJ durin; the winter than during the past few months. Ship- builders are also better off for orders. There are, however, in all departments large numbers ot men out of employment. The engineering, ironfounding, and general trades are poorly employed. Iron ore is quiet at late values, 8s 61 being an average quota- | tion at mines. Coal and coke very dull. Shipping, quiet, especially in foreign exports, and freights lo.v. MIDDLESUOUOUGH, Tuesday.— The pig iron market was firmer to-day, and a fair anr-uiit oi business wa., donu by makers, w ho*> average urice lor N-; S is Sk;,i 61; merchants quote 36s 3J for prompt, ami 6 I less for winter delivery. Forge pigs continue stronger at 3-1. and No 4 is 34s 6J. The shipments are improving, and fall little short of last m >nt!i; and owing to this, makers see no reason for blowing out ad iiiioual furnaces. Finished: iron is in somewhat better request; and the Richmond Iron Woiks, at Stockton, which have been closed for nearly ten y.ars, will i:t., i, be reopened. Steel rails are in increased demand, and the syndicate price of £ 4 15s is fuliy maintained. The prospects for the steel trade altogether are d-rci 'edly more satisfactory. Deliveries of bow; chairs are heavy from the Tees for Innia. WOLVERHAMPTON, Wednesday.—New business wa- but little offered to-day. Orders for pigs v.-■-r- especially difficult to secure. Half the ad vance quote three weeks aud a mouth ago has been lost. Local pigs Were without alteration.

SHOT FIRING IS NIINES.-The S,),th Wales coal- owners have resolved to oppose the new rule relating to &h»t-tiring in mines recently issued from the Home Office under the Mines Regulation, Act, and are seeking arbitration in the matter. The rule provides that all men shall leave the mines during the time of blasting, excepting those actually engaged in dis- j charging the duties of shot-firing. The masters declare that the new rule will bi quite impracticable I in many of the collieries, and a deputation has been appointed to wait upon Sir William Harcourt.

AURICULTUK I FARMING AND THE CORN TRADE. I The Mark Lane Express of Monday s?.ys—" The open weather ha, been very favourable for wrka I sowing, but the land again wants rain. The fair mild weather, however, has favoured; the lifting of the mangel crop, which is ripening ve:-y fast. The swedes | are growing steadily, and the crop will be much heavier than was at one time anticipated. With regard to trade, English wheat has not received any better attention from millers, but the reason has brought the usual inquiry for picked samples for seed, and this lias kept fine pareds firm. If alti-ig barleys are now iuqllired for, and sell more readiiy at any ap- I preciable decline from former rates, but buyers 1 ?k for concessions in respect of all but nnest sam pI, ¡ which may po?ibly reach 44s. New ûat sell sh'wly. but old heavy oats are, usual at this time (?l? the year, in request, and seemingly scarce. Other articlei remain without quotable change. The trade for I wheat off stands in London has become completely» demoralised, English wheat being intrinsically cheaper than any foreign description, and so long as it. i. freely offered the foreign trade must become asphyxiated.

I SPORTING. i [FROI OUR SPORTING CORRESPONDENT Ji '[ LONDON, Thursday, _Tt. s better to be born lucky than rich." Mr Hammond, the owner of St. Gatien and Florence, r Mas. perhaps, often thought of the old saying. Never in the annals of racing has a man been blessed with more luck than Mr Hammond. Everything he touches seems to turn to gold. The Manchester Cup, Derby, t esarewitch, and Cambridgeshire have helped to add a good balance at his bankers. Lord Allington introduced this lucky gentleman to the Prince of Wales, on Tuesday, and' afterwards His Royal Highness visited the stables, presided over by R. Sherwood. The Cambridgeshire winner, Florence, beat all records by carrying home the welter weight! of 9st Gib. Bendigo (who was one of three I took to beat the field) may be deemed unlucky, and if it had, not been for his changing his stride within a hundred yards from home, at which part of the race he was well in front, he would assuredly have won, for ten, yards past the post he was ahead. Great credit is due to boOth Webb and Snowden, for they rode a r;>c« well worth going a hundred miles to witness. Last week. I stated! that Sandiway is a very much over-rated mare, and even with the services of C. Wood she failed to get a place. Pizarro showed a hold front for a greater part of the race. Prism had t, io much weight, but nevertheless made a good fight of it. Chislehurst disappointed his supporters. I shall expect to see Archiduc run better than he did1, on Tuesday. In my opinion he was drawn a little too fine. Stockholm's action was decidedly short, and Highland Chief did not create a favourable impression with the critics. l'irince, Corunna. Quicklime, and Sir Reuben, helped to swell the field, which was the smallest sinca 1S42, when Ralp won from seventeen opponents. As I predicted, Casuistry colt won the Dewhuret Plate from nine opponents, Cora being second, and Xztititraille-; third. This animal was tried very highly with Duke of Richmond, before leaving ivingsclere* previous to the Middle Park Plate. GALOI'IN.

FOOTBALL NOTES. Wrexham Olympic j,,t managed to get the second round, of the English ("uv Couipetiiun; oa Saturday,, beating Goldenhiil (Staffordshire) by one goal to none. The game was not a very interesting one, and it was only just before the call of time that a little excitement was infused into it oy the Olympic completely penning their opponents. Numerous corner kicks were given, and ic was from one of these, splendidly put in front of got, by R. Davies. that the winning point was scored, and immediately afterwards the referee blew his whistle. The visitors were but a moderate lot, the only exception being the goalkeeper, who was far superior to the rest of the team. Ho was "all there," anil the way he punched out shot after shot was something marvellous. Me received quite an ovation as lie left the ground, and he well deserved it, and Goldenhiil have him alone tu thanic for the smallness of the score. The home team did not half play up. to the mark. The backs played pretty well during the whole of the game, but the fsprwitr(lb- well, the less said about them the better. I don't think I have ever seen them play so lot)--a before, and many times a good opportunity of scoring was missed by their not being ia their places. There was no combination or passing at ail. R. Davies being lame, of course, made a lot of difference, but H the rest" had showu the least bit of judgment in fiont of goal, the score would have been larger. What has come to the usually quiet "George" lately ? Last year he could not be got to charge m man when it was wanted, this sea-on he hardly does anything else. I don't think, though, that it improves his play a.ny. and I should advise him to keep to hM ,?,i stv'e. I believe Goldenhiil have lodged :.H I objection against Bu. ke, a member of the Olympic, on the ground that he belonged to the old Wrexham club last season. I don't think it wia cowe to any- thing, though, as I fancy when they come to consider the matter a little, they will see the foolishness f such a protest, and let the matter drop. In tl e account of the recently held general meeting of the Northern Welsh Football Association, held at Bangor, I noticed that it was rep..rtjd that several iut.mb'rs complained of Lhe exc!?>ii.n of that Ans.iCt?- tion from the Welsh international tenm, it being; stated th?t np t? the prevent representatives of Welsh teams have been limited to within 25 miles of Wrexham. The .secretary was aLl) instructed to forward to the English Association a strong repre- sentation on the subject, and to point out the unfair- ness in .-electing the so-called Welsh tea-,ti." in t!:o first place, I should like to know what the English j Association has to do with the matter Ic has not yet, as far as I know, any control over the Welsh Association,, and certainly not in the selection of the I interuati.mal teams, A pretty thing that would be— the English committee choosing the Welsh team to play own international team. Now, passing ov* t- any such foolish ideas as die above, I thiuk Mr A. D'Oyley Waikin* and the several membess of the Northern Association are: inclined to "cry out before they are, hurt.?' Tiiey cay that no members of the Northern Association are chosen tl play in the Welsh International Teams. Now, this is untrue, as everyone who takes the least interest in football knows. No later than last sjusoai a member of that Association (belonging to the Bangor Club, I helieve), was selected to [,lay in a county match, which took place on the Racecourse. I., myself, don't think he jn>tified- the seh:ct. >n at all, but the committee were of a different opinion, and he was chosen t > represent Wales in oxie of LIL. fi*,ev- national matches. He failed to put in an appearance on that occasion, but I thiuk his absence was of no consequence, as a far better man was put in his place. A member of the Ithyl club was also picked to play in one of the teams, on what grounds I don't know, un- les-i that it was that he had been a University man. Bnt I forgot, the other had been in a University, and of course all University men can play." He, also, failed to turn up, and so I did not have the pleasure of seeing how hj shaped. Only that it would be a waste of time and space, I could mention many players who do no belong to the Welsh Association that have played in International matches. Then, again, advertisements are sent to the leading sporting papers every season (but perhaps they do not read sporting papers up Bangor way), asking for players who wished to represent Wales in the International; matches, to send their names in to the secretary of the Welsh Association. As far as I know, not one of the members of the Northern Association sent their names in last season (the two I have mentioned were brought forward by the Rhyl representative), so I can't see how they expect to be selected. I hope the Northern Association will drop making ail this fuss, and if they have any members they think entitled to play in the International matches, let them send their names in and play in the trial matches—go about it in the proper inarisi(-r-.tri(I I have no doubt that if they are worthy of places in the teams they wiil get them.
