WREXHAM ART CLASSES. I A meeting of the Science and Art Committee was held in the Council Chamber on Tuesday, when there were present Alderman Jno. Jones, in the chair, Mrs J. Meredith Jones, Mr Simon Jones, and Mr John Francis; Mr Ashton Bradley, secretary, and Mr Ernest Draycott, master. The formal renewing of the committee, which was done by the signature of a form, having been done, Alderman Jno. Jones was re-elected chairman, on the motion of Mr Francis, seconded by Mrs Meredith Jones. The CHAIRMAN said he was much obliged for the honor conferred upon him, and regretted that only four members, out of a committee of eighteen, had attended. At a meeting held previously there were only two. If he did not think that the work of the classes met a need outside which was greater than the attendance of the committee would seem to indicate, he would be inclined to drop it, but he thought they must discharge their duty, for to stop the classes would amount to nothing short of a scandal. (Hear, hear.) Mr FRANCIS said the Committee W;8 too large. It was too large in the case of the Free Library. The SECRETARY read the following report, which was ordered to be enteied on the minutes Ruabon, 31st August, 1S91. I To Ashton Bradley, Esq. I DEAR SIR.-In presenting to your Committee my report for the January and April Sessions, I have pleasure in stating that the work, as a whole, has been satisfactory the attendance has slightly increased, and at the May examination the number ot students upon the daily registers were eighty-nine against eighty-seven at the corresponding period of last year. These were distributed through the several classes as follows :-Day classes, seven ladies' evening, forty-four artizans, thirty-eight; Saturday morning, twenty-three. A number of students at the Saturday classes attended one of the evening classes also, to enable them to make the number of attendances required by the South Kensington Department. In the examinations, the results compare favorably with those of the previous year, notwithstanding the unavoidable closing of the school for three y eks during the October session of lSILI. The total number of passes this year is sixty- eight twenty-three being first classes, against fifty-three, of which twenty were nr-t classes last year, giving an in- crease of fifteen. The total grant earned is A;50, but this will be subject to a deduction of S7 10s on account of students who failed to complete twenty attendances, this is principally owing to the closing of the school for the time st-ited be'ore, and was quite unavoidable, the losses being due in a great measure to students living at a con- siderable distance, and consequently only able to attend once during the week. I wish to thank those members of the committee who have very kindly given prizes for com- petition amongst the students. They have been very useful to me in carrying en successfully the work of the school. The following is a complete list of the success; s for the year :-Freehand- 'Litie passed 1st class, 22 passed 2nd class. Model—Five passed 1st class, nine 2nd class. Perapective-T vi o passed I.,t clasg, one 2nd class. Geometry —One passed in the advanced class, six elementary. Out- line from the cast—Two passed 1st class, Shading from the round-Five passed 1st class. Building construction- Five passed in advanced and the elementary. Two students, Mr Maguire and Pryse Lewis, sent drawings to the Depart- ment, which were accepted towards the teachers' certificate. Trusting the results will be satisfactory, I remain, yours truly, ERNEST DRAYCOTT. The committee expressed approval of the report. Mr Draycott applied for an increase of salary, and it was agreed, on the motion of Mr SIMOX JONES, that he be paid at the rate of 170 a year, with half the grant. Mr JOHN FKANCIS moved the following resolu- tion :—" That this meeting hears with great satis- faction of the kindly efforts that are being made by the Town Council to provide the Art Class with improved rooms, and hopes that their efforts will meet with an early and satisfactory completion." He said he proposed it with exceeding great plea- sure, because he did not know that the Town Council had taken any step that could be more conducive to the higher interests of the town than in the promotion of arts and sciences amongst the young. He took it as an indication of the sympathy of the Town Council with the progressive intellectuality of the town, and that it was only the beginuing of many others, (Hear, hear.) Mrs MEKEDITII-JONES seconded. Mr SIMON JONES cordially supported it, and it was decided to forward the resolution to the Town Council. On the motion of Mr SIMON JONES, it was agreed to apply to the Joint Education Committee for a grant of £150 from funds placed at its disposal for technical education. The consideration of having lectures upon mining and metallurgy was postponed pending the result of the application to the Joint Committee. A letter was read from Mr John F. Wfllans, draughtsman, Wrexham, Mold, and Connah's Quay Railway Company, stating that a number of fitters and others were anxious to have classes in machine construction and mechanical drawing. He was qualified under the Department, and was willing to conduct a class to which he knew twenty-three pupils who would join. It was agreed to accept Mr Willane' offer. A letter was received from Mr A. N. Palmer enclosing a cheque for 930 sent by an unknown donor in payment of the rent of the rooms. Mr Palmer said if a memorial were drawn up, the unknown benefactor might assist further. A vote of cordial thanks was passed to the generous giver, and to Mr Palmer for his share in the matter. It was also agreed to frame a memorial for further help. A vote of thanks was also passed to the managers of the British and National Schools for the use of their buildings for the examination. The classes will be re-commenced immediately, under the tuition of Mr Draycott. Intending members should communicate with the secretary, Mr Bradley,

I REGISTRATION COURTS. I WREXHAM (COUNTY.) I On Saturday afternoon the Hon. Cecil Grosvenor, the Revising Barrister, sat at the Wrexham County Building* for the revision of the list of voters for the parishes of Abenbury Fawr, Acton, Bersham (Rhos- tyllen), Bieston. Borras Hovah, Borras Ritfrey, Erlas, Erddig, Esclusham Above, Esclusham Below, Eyton, Gourton, Marchwiel, Pickhill, R-jyton, oess- wick, Stansty, and Wiexham Regis. Mr W. WynnEvans and Mr W. H. Tilston appeared for the Liberals, and Mr George Bevan and Mr J. 11. Wiide, eecretary of the Wrexham Polling District, represented the Conservatives. On the list for Wrexham Regis, the Liberals objected to Mr Edward Arthur Hughes, of the Clements Inn, London, on the ground of wrong address, Mr Evans (from the office of Mr Allington Huehes, the voter's brother) appeared and stated that Mr Hughes still had the same offices. 1 lie vote was allowed, and Mr Evans asked for costs.—Mr lilston pointed out that Mr Evans only came from over the street.-Tiie Barrister said it was difficult for him to estimate the cost of a journey across the street. He sugeested that one shilling should be given, (A laugh.)—Mr Evans demurred, and said he was agent for Mr Huglies.-Evet)tually the Barrister granted him one florin by way of expenses. In the Marchwiel list Mr Bevan claimed a lodger vote for Mr Jonathan Phillips, who said he ludged with with his brother-in-law, Mr Richard Roberts, at Plas Noble. He had a bedroom and sitting room, and paid 12s per week.-In reply to Mr lilston, Mr Phillips said the sum named included his board. He '-L _1. .1 _Tn ronlv to Mr Bevan. the UOUDII arwuieo VA. j." » applicant said he uaid from five to six shillings above I the twelve shillings, and that went for fish and stimulants.—Mr Bevan pointed out that Mr Phillips was an invalid.—The vote was not allowed. In the Stansty List, Mr Elliott H. S. Strachan applied for a lodger vote in respect of rooms occupied by him at his father's house, Crispin Lodge. The vote was granted, the claim having been sustained some three years ago. I WREXHAM (BOROUGH.) I I, I On Tuesday, the Revising Barrister itne non. rt. Cecil Grosvenor) sat at the Guildhall to revise the list of voters for the borough. Mr W. Wynn Evans and Mr W. H. Tilston represented the Liberals, and Mr George Bevan appeared for the Conservatives. General the Hon. Savage Mostyn, C.B., claimed, through Mr Bevan, a vote in respect of Stanley Villa, which the General said he occupied up to August 3rd of the present year.—The vote was allowed. The Liberals objected to Mr Bernard Lewis on the ground that he was described as the joint occupier 01 offices at 13, Q ieen-3treet, whereas it should have been" 12" A declaration was put in correcting the error, and this the Barrister accepted. Mr J. E. Thomas, C.E., claimed a lodger vote in respect of rooms held by him at 3, Arybryn-terrace.— The claim was allowed. Mr W. G. Roberts claimed, through Mr Tilston, a lodger vote for his occupation of rooms at 14, Peny- bryn.—The vote was allowed. Mr Edward Hanmer, 18, Penybryn, and his father, Mr John Hanmer, of the same place, were objected to by the Conservatives. Both gentlemen resided in the same house, the father occupying the dwelling- house, and the son the shop, but living in the house. It was stated that the father occupied from the land- lord and the son paid rent to the father. The son also said that there was a door leading from the shop to the house, but it was only used by himaelf.-The Barrister said that John Hanmer clearly had a right to be on the list in respect of the house, but the other claimant failed.—Mr Bevan then withdrew the objection to John Hanmer.—Mr Tilston suggested to the son that he had better screw up the door between the house and the chop. Mr Charles F. Sixsmith (assistant to Dr. Palin), claimed and was allowed a vote in respect of his lodgings at Penadur House, Beast Market. The Conservatives objected to Mr John Foster, 7, Talbot-road, alleging that he had not occupied the necessary period. The voter produced his rent book, which shewed that the suggestion of Mr Bevan's was grossly wrong. The vote was allowed, and one shilling was given as costs. The Liberals claimed a vote for Mr Joseph Parry, in respect of 22, Charles-street. The facts showed that the claimant had lived in the house 18 months, but up to six months ago he was joint occupier with his son, but the rent and rateable value was not sufficient to give a joint vote. The son left six months ago, and now the father claimed alone. Mr Bevan urged that the rent and rateable value was not sufficient, but His Honor, who said it was a curious case, gave a municipal vote. Mr Bevan claimed a vote for Capt. James Glad- stone, in respect of the joint occupancy of his residence in Grosvenor-road. It was stated that he had occupied a house in that thoroughfare since 17th June, 1889, and in April muved to his present residence, which was over the road. The rent of the first house was 270, and that of the second 1:60. It transpired that the captain was entitled to a legacy under the will of the late Mr Painter, in which it waa provided that he and his wife (the latter being a rela- tive), should reside with testator's widow, who was also joint tenant. His Honor held that such an arrangement did not constitute a joint occupation for registration purposes, and declined to allow the claim. Mr Henry Claude Martin claimed through Mr Bevan for a vote as joint occupier in Mr Tompson's house in Salisbury Park. Mr Martin stated that he had a room in the house in question, which he could occupy at any time when business required, although his residence was in Chester.—Mr Tilaton, who oppesed, said he might ill .ke the same claim because he cccupied a room in his father-in-law's house when detained in Wrexham.-His Honor declined to allow a vote. -m m- I- i i • "w~» • • n iiieesrs. r rank ana j?reaeriCK rjelrne ciaimea ior votes in lespect of rooms which they occupied in their father's house in Charles-street. The rental was 10i per week. In answer to Mr Bavan it was said that no money passed in respect of the rent. They were boarded and had their washing, while the only money which passed was what they received from their father as pocket-money.—The votes were not given. Mr Charles Turner, Mount Pleasant, was objected to by the Conservatives on the ground that he had not occupied long enough. The rent-books proved otherwise, and Mr Bevan had to pay the applicant one shilling for the unnecessary trouble he had been put t'. Mr George Roberts, of 28, Victoria Road, was objected to by Mr Bevan on the same grounds as in the case of Mr Turner. Mr Bevan discovered that Mr Roberts had lived at the house the necessary peiiod. This information cost the Constitutional party one shilling. Mr Bevan raised an interesting point when he claimed votes for 15 persons who occupied stalls in the Wrexham Markets, and who resided within seven miles of the town. He said those he claimed for held stalls in the Butchers' and Vegetable Markets, and were entitled to a vote, the places of business being over the net yearly rental of £10. He pointed out that each shop was separate and distinct. Each tenant had a key, and was entitled to a week's notice. Certain regulations, made for the general convenience were made by the directors, and the markets were closed at certain hourf, but if the tenauts desired it they could be permitted to enter the markets, the keeper unlocking the gates. Mr Bevan quoted a similar case just decided in respect to the Spitalfields Market, where votes had been allowed in respect of spaces of ground. The facts were pretty well agreed upon, and Mr Bevan said he would produce evidence as to the usa of the key, after luncheon. Upon the Court resuming Mr Bevan called Mr Macauley, the assistant market hall keeper, who said whenever asked by a tenant to be allowed to enter the Market Hall he never refused. He, however, always made an inquiry why admission was wanted. In reply to Mr Tilston the witness said that the use of the key was a favor, and not a right. If a tenant came to his house at two o'clock in the morn- ing and demanded admittance to the market, he would refuse to open it. After this there was much discussion. In the course of it Mr Tilston said a similar proposal was made before the late Mr Coxon, who refused the votea.-His Honor said the question was whether the tenant occupied the stalls without a break. In giving judgment, he said upon the evidence before him, it seemed that these people had not sur-b an occupation as was contemplated by the 210 occupa- tion franchise. One of the conditions was that the person should have the right of entry, and occupy the place every day during the qualifying year without being subject to anyone's consent. The Market Hall Company exercised the right of excluding all the claimants every night from eight o'clock until seven o'clock the next morning, and therefore the Company did interfere with their occupation, so that they could not, on consideration, claim to be put on the register. Mr Bevan asked for time to consider whether he would appea', and his Honor allowed one week. Mr Tilston pointed out that there was one of the several persons to whom he did not object in the list of claimants, and that waa Mr Samuel Roberts, of the Vegetable Market. He had a key to enable him to enter and feed certfin animals he had.—Mr Wright, the Market Hall keeper, said he had lent Mr Roberta a key, but only as a favor. He had had it for two years, but witness had the right to take it from him.— The vote was not allowed. Votes were claimed and allowed to Capt. Archdale, Lieut. Webber. Lieut. Maddocks, and Quarter- Master Perris, R.W.F. John Ellis Richardson claimed a vote as the occupier of the Hermitage Farm, of which Mr David Jones was the tenant. Granted. The Court then adjourned until half-past six, when George Henry Vigjjara claimed an occupation vote as the occupier of 17, Town Hill. He had occupied the premises for several years, and acted as caretaker of the shop and house. The vote was allowed. Mr Tilston objected to the vota of Wm. Pugh, 3. Holt-street Buildings, on the ground that his occupa. tion had been broken. In answer to Mr Tilst m, Pugh said he had been a member of the Denbighshire Constabulary, and was moved from Wrexham to Llangollen. After remaining six months there he came back to Wrexham. The vote was disallowed. Wm. Henry Errington claimed a lodger vote for rooms occupied by him at his mother's house, 1, Nelson Terrace. He had occupied thara for four years jointly with a Mr Woods, who did not claim. The vote was allowed. Harvey Samuel Davies claimed a lodger vote for rooms occupied by him at his mother's house, 9, Percy-road. He had occupied the rooms for eight or nine years. In answer to Mr Tilston, Davies said the rooms were not for his sole use, and there was no fixed arrangement with his mother. The vote was accordingly not allowed. William McLeary claimed for 18, Fsrndon-street. The Assistant Overseer stated that he thought the man was 3ead, and thus he omitted him from the list. The vote was allowed. George Jenkinson claimed a lodger vote for rooms occupied by him at Bryn Off a, the residence of his employer. Mr Charles Davies. In answer to Mr Tilston, Jenkinson said board and lodgings were patt payment of his services to Mr Davits, and the vote was cot allowed. William Aston claimed a vote as joint occupier of the shop, No. 30, Penybryn. In answer to Mr Bevan, Mr S. Aston said he held the shop by a lease made in his own name. The vote was accordingly not | allowed. THE MARKET HALL CLAIMS. It is rather surprising, says the Man chestei'iGua?-dian, that after the registration agents have been contend- ing and the revising barristers judging for so many years there should still be left so many points in dis- pute as to the electoral qualification. At Wrexham the other day there was a distinct difference of opinion with regard to the rights of certain market tenants to be placed upon the list of Parliamentary voters. The claimants are occupiers of shops in the Market Hall and Vegetable Mat kef, and the agent who acted for them maintained that their position was p-recisely analogous to that of tenants in lock-up shops in the street?. Hut on the other nana it was proved that the marketa were locked up every night at fixed hours, and only opened in the mornicg by the market inspectors and this, it was argued, interfered with the continuity of occupation demanded by the Act af Parliament. The Revising Barrister could not get over this objection. He was obliged to admit that, inasmuch as during the night it was only possible for the tenants to enter the premises by permission of the inspectors, there was a clear break in the continuous occupation demanded by the law. But he apparently considered that the applicants had good reason to ask for a further con- sideration of their claims, as he agreed to prepare a case for submission to a superior court. The further proceedings in the case will be watched with interest by market tenants in other towns. We underatand that the Conservati ves do not intend to take the case further. HOLT. I I The Hon. R. C. Grosvenor sat at the Red Lion, Holt, on Saturday, the old Town Hall being in a dilapidated cjnditiou. He commented on the fact, and recommended the Holt Town Trust to re-roof it, intsead, as comtemplated, of building a new one. He also referred to the church, and spoke of repairs to the exterior which are evidently wanted, namely, the ivy removing and the joints cemented, to prevent the palpable decay of the structure. Four new votes were allowed. I COEDPOETH. I On Tuesday the revising barrister attended at the Cross Foxes, Coedpoeth, to revise the list of voters for the Minera and part ot Bersham polling districts. Mr W. Hawkins Tilston represented the Liberals, and Mr Bevan (Wrexham) the Conservatives. Owner- ship claims were granted to Edward Hughes, top Talwrn road John Moss, Waen road DavidDavies, Bryuhaulog William Ellis, near Wesleyan Chapel Robert Owen, Old road (for 10J acres of land) Tlios. Lloyd, Talwrn Thomas Williams, Tabor Hill; J. Jones, engine-driver, Mona House, Talwrn Michael Roberts, Plasgwyn Mountain Edward Kelly, Plas- gwyn Mountain (allowed 415 expanses), together with a few others. Robert Rogers, Salem road, had not owned his house long enough, therefore the claim was disallowed. Several succession occupiers' votes were granted, one of which-that of John Pugh, late Queen's Head—drew a little attention. Mr Daniell, assistant overseer, said Pugh lived there on July 28th. Mr Tilston objected to the overseer's evidence as being out of order. The Revising Barrister main- tained that it was in order; he had instructed all overseers t) make inquiries in order to save expense and inconvenience. Mr Tilston said he was told Pugh left before the 15h. Mr Daniell: He paid his poor-rats up to the 28th. Mr Bevan At the risk of expense you can call Mrs Pugh here. The Revising Barrister But you cannot ask her any other ques- tion. Mr Tilston But it is one thing to tell an overseer, and another to make a statement before the court; I could question her here. The Revising Barrister Do you wish to call her ? Mr Tilston under the circumstances I withdraw my objection. The result of the sitting is as follows:- Liberal. Conservative. Ownership claims sustained 16 3 Ownership objections sustained 5 8 Occupiers' claimi sustained 0 1 Occupiers' objections sustained. 3 0 24 12 Liberal gain, 12. RU ABON. The Revision of ths lists of voters for a part of Ruabon, Coed Chriationydd, Moreton Above, part of Moreton Below, Dynhynlle Ucha, part of Bodylltyn, and Erbistock (in Denbighshire), was conducted at the Court House, on Friday. The Liberals-were represented by Mr W. Hawkins Tilston, Mr Wynn Evans, and Mr Price (Liberal agent), and the Con- servatives by Mr George Bevan, Mr T. Owen Charles, Mr Robert Lloyd, an 1 Mr J. S. Layeock.riie name of Robert William Herbert Williams Wynn, Cefn, St. Asaph, was objected to on the occupation list by the Liberat", aa was also Owen John Williams, of Tynyffordd Farm, St. Asaph, and both objections were sustained. The following is the result of the revision :-Liberal objections sustained, eighteen cl ims, three Tory objections, seven; claims, nineteen being a Conservative gain of five. RHOSLLANERCHRUGOG. The court was held at the Public Hall, on Monday afternoon. Mr W. Hawkins Tilston (Wrexham). Mr Joseph Rogers, and Mr Joseph Price appeared for the Liberals and Mr George Bevan (Wrexham), Mr William Taylor, Mr D. C. Owen, Mr C. Simpaon, and Mr D. Phillips (Penycae), represented the Con. servative?. There were no cases of public interest. The result of the revision was a gain of 24 votes for the Liberals. Mr Charles W. Wright, assistant overseer, is to be congratulated upm the very satis- factory manner in which the lists had been prepared. The interest taken by the public in the Revision Court was very small compared with what it was a few years ago. CEFN MAWR. I The Revision of the lists for the townships of Chriationydd K nrick and C.,ed Chriationydd waa held at the Pigeons Inn on Friday afternoon. For the Conservatives there appeared Mr George Bevan, Conservative Registration Agent; Mr T. O. Charles, organizing agent Mr Robert Lloyd, Conservative agent, Ruabon and Mr J. S. Laycock, Wynnstay agent; and for the Liberals Mr W. H. Tilston and Mr Wynn Evans.—William Evans, Mile End Terrace, Trefynant, was objected to by the Conservatives on account of a mortgage on his property. It was stated that the mortgage was only 2200 on three houses and a shep, and the objection was not sustained.—George Downes was objected to by the Liberals on the ground that he had been absent from the Cefn during twelve months. It was proved that complainant had not been from home during the last twelve months, and the claim was allowed, and costs granted. I CHIRK. The Court was held at the Hand Hotel on Friday morning. Mr W. Hawkins Tilston and Mr Wynn Evans, Wrexham, appeared for the Liberals, and Mr G. Bevan, Wrexham, for the Conservatives. The Liberals objected to an ownership claim to vote in respect of Trevor House on the part of the Hon. Charles Edward Hill-Trevor, inasmuch as the Hon. George Edwin Hill-Trevor had also made a claim, and stated that he was the owner.—The Hon. George Edwin Hill-Trevor said he was the owner of a rent- charge issuing out of Trevor House, and had been so for about nine years. The present owner was Lord Trevor. He was not aware that the Hon. Charles Hill-Trevor had claimed to be the owner of the house. It would have been absolutely impossible for a conveyance to have been made from Lord Trevor to his brother without his knowledge.—The claim of the Hon. Charles Hill-Trevor was not allowed.—The Liberals also objected to the claim of Mr R. Myddelton Biddulph in respect of Haslehurst Gate House. Mr Parker, the agent for the Chirk Castle estate, said there had been a conveyance of the pro- perty, and that he paid the rents to Mr Robert Myddelton Biddulph. The claim was allowed.—The Rev. E. James Evans was objected to by the Liberals, on the ground that he was not entitled to an occupa- tion vote.—Mr G. Bevan contended that the rev. gentleman was entitled to vote as he was the occupier of a benefice.-Tiie claim was allowed. I LLANGOLLEN. On Friday afternoon the lists were ravised for the parishes of Llangollen, Brvneglwys, Llantysilio, Glyntraian, and Llansantffraid-Glyn-Ceiriog.—Mr James Clarke represented the Liberals, and Mr C. W. Richards the Conservatives.—Lodger claims for the following were substantiated :—D. L1. Foulkes, solicitor's clerk M. C. Luttman, organist of Parish Church the Rev. H. E. Thomas, curate H. C. Whitelegg, and R. Wm. Thomas. Oak-street. The only point of interest which was discussed was the objection brought against Mr T. Longueville and Mr J. P. Hauler, which had been adjourned from the Llansilin Cuurt and the Barrister finally decided that sporting rights did not confer a qualification under the Act, and the names were consequently struck off. He, however, confessed he had some doubts upon the matter, and promised to consider it further, and communicate with the respective agent-, in order that the overseers might know how to proceed in future. LLANSILIX. The court was held on Friday for the revision of the lists for the parishes of Llanarmon D.O., Llan- armon M.M., Llangadwaladr, Llanrhaiadr-yn-Moch- nant, and Llansilin. Mr C. W. Richards, Llangollen, represented the Conservative?, and Mr James Clarke, Llangollen, the Liberals. The Rev. Thomas Henry Peate, who was on the register as joint occupier of Maesystabal, Llangedwyn, was objected to bv the Liberals, and his name was expunged. James Canham, gardener, Llangedwyn Hall, who had been placed by the overseer in Division 1 was also objected to by the Liberals, and his name was transferred to Division 2. In Llangadwaladr parish the claims of Edward Jones as owner of Tygwyn, and John Evans for Caedicws were, on the obj ction of the Liberals, disallowed, as their respective qualifying properties were now included in the parish of Llansilin. In the Llanarmon list the Liberals objected to Mr T. Longueville, Llanforda, and Mr J. P. Hamer, Glany- rafon Hall, Oswestry, who claimed in respect of sporting rights, the contention being that sporting rights did not confer a qualification. The point was argued at considerable length, and adjourned for final decision to the Llangollen Court. A lodger claim put ill by Mr Davies, Hand Inn, Llanarmon, was allowed, and also two ownership claims by John Humphreys and Ellis Roberts for Llanrhaiadr. The Revising Barrister highly complimented Mr Davies, the assistant overseer for the latter parish, for the admirable manner in which he had prepared his lists. BRYMBO AND BROUGHTON. j The revision court for the above districts was held on Wednesday by the Revising Barrister. The first meeting was held at the Reading Room, Broughton, in the morning, when Mr W. Hawkins Tilston tepre- sented the Liberals, and Mr J. Owen Charles the Conservatives, both gentlemen being assisted by the secretaries and supporters of both parties. The second meeting for the Brymbo district was held at the Institute in the afternoon. The several ownership claims were sustained by both parties in each parish. In Broughton two lodgers' votes were allowed. In Brymbo, Mr Alfred Darby lost his occupation vote A upon the objection of the Conservatives. The Liberals succeeded in objecting to thiee claims of the Tory party, whilst in Division I., the Tories only made one claim, namely, that of Mr Edward Taylor, which was allowed, At the close of the business, Mr Tilston thanked the Barrister for his courtesy, &c. during the revision, and after a few remarks from Mr Bevan, I the Barrister returned thanks.

PRIMROSE LEAGUE FETE AT NANTCLWYD. MR KEYON, M.P., ON THE GOVERNMENT POLICY. On Tuesday afternoon the annual Primrose League Fete in connection with the Ruthin Eyarth habitations, took place by kind permission of Mrs Naylor Leyland (dame president) in Nantclwyd Park. The attand- ance was large considering the unfavorable weather which prevailed, and the Ruthin Town Band en- livened the surroundings with music. Tea was pro. vided in the extensive coach house, which had been decorated under the superintendence of Mrs Naylor Leyland. The tables were decorated with beautiful palms and valuable flowers, and the proceedings graced with the presence of the following ladies, who presided at the tea—Mrs Rouw, Mrs Jenkins, Mrs Davies, Mrs Theodore Rouw, Mrs Turner, Berth Miss Preston, Miss G. Preston, Miss G. R >uw, Miss Otven, Miss Morris, Gathgynan; Miss Edward-, Church-gates, Ruthin, Miss Jones, Llysfaai, and Mrs Humphreys, Llanfwrog. Owing to the damp condi- tion of the grass, the people assembled in front of the hall, where Mr Preston introduced them to the Hon. G. T. Kenyon, M.P. Mr KENYON said he was very glad to see them in such large numbers on that interesting occasion, and he was sure they had a deep sense of gratitude to Mrs Naylor Leyland, the dame president, for the support ahe gave to principles of the Primrose League, and the only thing she had not been able to provide was a fine day, but for that extra- ordinary summer, they may take it for an average day of the summer of 1891. (Laughter.) He would take for his text some remarks made by a gentleman who had been selected to oppose him. He was an estimable gentleman, and he had known him for many years, but he had recently aspired to a seat in Parliament. Mr Humphreys-Owen, when speak- ing the other day at the opening of the Liberal Club in Wrexham, said he was asked why he had come down there to oppose Mr Kenyon. He (the speaker) did not complain of the question or the answer. He had great respect for him, and he believed it was reciprocated. He said he considered Mr Kenyon belonged to a party who did more harm than good to the general interests of the people. The record of the Liberal party was not altogether One that politicians could regard with complete satis- faction. Mr Gladstone's ministry had cost this country many men's lives, and a large amount of expenditure. He would remind Mr Humphreys-Owen of the death of Gordon, and that was an incident which would be handed down, the history of a man who, in obedience to hia country's calls, sacrificed himself through the mistakes of the then British Govern- ment. He would commend those incidents to the memory of Mr Owen. If there had been faults in the Tory Governments, there had also been faults in the Liberal Governments. (Hear, hear.) He was privileged to represent a Welsh constituency in Parlia- ment, and he was content to rest upon the policy of Lord Salisbury, which was pronounced in 1886 and which they had sent him to Parliament to support. From that declaration, made five years ago, he had nothing to take from and nothing to retract. It was a policy which had pleased the English, Irish, and Welsh, and it was one that the electors would support when the next election took place. He would ask any man in that assembly whether the condition of Ireland was not better, and more full of bope than when Mr Gladstone held office? The murder of Lord Frederick Cavendish had discovered and exposed the existence of secret crime. Agrarian crime was now practically absent, and the extraordinary powers which the pre. sent Government was obliged to take upon itself owing to the condition of the country, were not now put in force, and at the present moment there was no exception in the law from that in England. Many laws had been passed for bettering the condition of the people in Ireland. The railway system had been extended, and many other improvements had been undertaken, and there was much due to the con- structive genius of Mr Balfour. (Applause.) They had been able to pass a number of measures which he thought would be satisfactory to them. There was the better housing of the poor, and bettrr arrangements for seamen at sea, and the Factory Act; which enabled children to continue their education at sshool much longer than formerly, and the children had now a much better opportunity of Derfecting their educa- tion. These were amongst the records of the present Government, and no one need be ashamed of it; and if good legislation would be considered, then Lord Salis- bury's Government would take the election. There were a great number of electors who considered that a change in the management of the nation's affairs was desirable after a few years, and success in legislation was not always success in the election which followed. He put it to them, why should they assist to discard a Government which during its five or six years of office had hardly committed a single mistake ? In the last Government's time there were wars and rumours of wars; but now, for the first time in the history of that great country upon which the sun never sets, there was no rumour of war, and if peace meant anything, surely those who were anxious for the times which followed peace-thosa who had held the helm in foreign affairs, should be re-elected. Their oppo- nents could not pick a hole in her Majesty's Govern- ment's foreign policy. There was a miserable story lately that some British bluejacketi had lauded on some out-of-the-way island, but by the time the even- ing papers were read it was found that there were no ironclads present and to that state of things the opponents of the foreign policy of the Government had been reduced. If it was not possible for their opponents to pick holes in the domestic and foreign policy of the Government, they might try another trick-of which there were signs—to bribe the British elector to vote for them. There were two things, and what shape and form they would take before another general election could not be said; but he would mention them that they might be aware of them, and he would be able to give them the tip if anything more serious was to come of it. (Laughter.) One was the question of capital and labor in the Eight Hours Bill. In the first place, he did not think it was possible to extend the proposal to all trades in that country, and they would find it extremely difficult to legislate for the past. At a trade union meeting recently held, Mr George Howell, the great labor re- presentative, said there were four distinct reasons why such legislation could not be passed. The first was the impracticability of the universal adoption of the law. If they lay down that law it was making men equal, one of whom could work with ease for 12 hours, whilst the other could not work eight hours. The third reason was that they would require a perfect army of Government inspectors, who would require payment. Overtime would be stopped, and one man should not work because his neighbour who might be a fool or a drunkard would not work. According to the history of such legislation, it had always failed in the cause of labor. They would not have one master to work for. but a Government, which was the hardest master. As to the question of the disestablishment of the Church in Wales, as members of the Primrose League it was their duty clearly to stand by true religion, and whether they were Catholics or Protestants, they should support the religious feeling of the country, and not work against each other, but work in the same direction and together for the one blessed object. (Applause.) He urged them to try and extend the principles of the Primrose League amongst their relations and friends, and he would be returned for that constituency for which he had fought four times, twice to defeat and twice to victory. (Cheers.) He would be returned for the Denbigh Boroughs to support the Church and State and the principles of the Primrose League. (Applause.) Mr B. BRYAN addressed the audience shortly, mentioning his intention of supporting Mr Kenyon. The meeting then broke up, and the people resorted to another portion of the park, where sports took place, Mr Rouw conducting the proceedings in his usual prompt and efficient manner. A

THE MURDER OF A FLINT GIRL. i James Stockwell, thirty-two, teamer, Linthwaite, was brought from Wakefield very early on Mon- day to Huddersfield to be charged before the Bench with the murder, on the 21st of August, of Catherine Dennis, fifteen, servant of the Ivy Hotel, Linthwaite. Mr Fletcher, assisted by Mr Drans- field, prosecuted on behalf of the Crown. The prisoner was defended by Mr Lewis Sykea. A great crowd assembled in front of the County Police Court, and broke down one gate and gate post, but order was restored by the police. The people were admitted to the Court. Mr Fletcher opened the case for the Crown, and after reciting the main facts said he should call Police-Constable Taylor, who apprehended the prisoner, and he would tell the Court that on the Monday after he was handed over by the borough magistrates the prisoner voluntarily and without being questioned, and after being cautioned, made the following statement Its no use going so far round about it. I may as well get it over at once. It is all through drink. I was lying down on the seat, and she kept pulling my hair." Mr Fletcher said that on the facts he should prove, he should ask that the prisoner might be committed for trial for wilful murder. Before the adjourn- ment for luncheon the evidence of eleven witnesses had been taken, but there was nothing fresh in anv of it. In the afternoon, Peter Whiteley, twister-in at Linthwaite, was called, and said that on the day of the murder he was coming towards the Ivy Hotel about four o'clock, and he met Stockwell in Yew Tree-lane, coming from the direction of the Ivy Hotel. He would be about 200 yards from the hotel. As he passed he said, How do, Jim," and prisoner replied How do." Prisoner looked as if he had been on a day's spree. Dr. Haigh said the knife taken from the prisoner was likely to produce the wound causing Dennis's death. The wound was two inches and a half deep. The condition of the body inclined him to believe that there had been an attempted outrage. Prisoner was committed for trial.

DENBIGHSHIRE AND FLINTSHIRE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. THE SHOW AT WREXHAM. The fiftieth annual show of this society was held last Friday, in Wrexham. The exhibition was held on land in the rear of the Wynnstay Arms Hotel, where Mr F. Lloyd's auction yard and com- modious shedding proved of much convenience, Mr C. Murless kindly lending the adjoining field. The arrangement of the showyard was satisfactory, and the area covered by the exhibits, which we understand are larger in number than last year, was compact, so that the interests of the visitors were consulted. The patron of the Show is Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, But. This year the president is Sir Robert Cunliffe, Bart., and the vice- president is Mr Frank Lloyd, Eyton House. We have referred to the arrangement of the show- yard, for which the responsibility must be placed upon the shoulders of the Local Committee, who have worked remarkably well, aided by Mr John Evans, Chesbire View, Marchwiel, their secretary. Mr J. Colmere Gittins, of Wrexham, was the general superintendent of the show-yard Mr John Roberts, M.R.C.V.S., was veterinary inspector, and Mr Frank Bellis, of Mold, the secretary, discharged his part with ability.

Messrs Powell Brothers and Whitaker had a stand on the ground, at which most noticeable were their priz potato digger and celebrated mowers. Messrs Cudworth and Johnson, of Wrexham, exhibited a useful engine. Stands, which attracted attention; were erected by the Singer Sewing Machine Company, Messrs Day and Sons, Crewe McHattie and Co., seedsmen, Chester; Thorley Day, Son and Hewitt, and Dicksons, Limited, Chester. During the day the Wrexham Borough Band, conducted by Mr J. Ingham, performed an admirable selection of music. The National Telephone Company, Limited, laid a wire from their exchange in Hope-street to a room near the refreshment rooms. The use of the instru- ments was given free of charge, ar.d during the day conversations were held with Liverpool and other towns. THE ANNUAL MEETING. I The annual general meeting of the members of the society was held in the secretary's tent, when Sir Watkin Williams Wynn, Bart., the patron, took the chair. Among those present were Sir Robert Cunliffe, Bart., Messrs P. P. Pennant, J. Scott Bankes, Edmund Peel, H. Humphreys, James Dickson (Chester), R. Pod more (Sealand), Horace Mayhew (Hawarden), T. W. Bowdage Evans (Rhyl), J. Ken- rick, J. Lea, C. Murlesa. C. Tudor Hughes, William Lewis (Marford Hall), H. Dyke Dennis, S. K. Main- waring, T. J. Dutton (Saltney), &c., &c. The first business was to select a town for the next meeting of the show. A deputation, to press the chaimg of Rhyl, was introduced by Mr W. Conwy Bell. Mr J. Arthur Evans, speaking on behalf of the deputation, said that unfortunately there had been no opportunity to have a special meeting of the Town Commissioner, but he had consulted his brother members, and found they were unanimously in favor of having the show next year. Mr Evans argued that Rhyl was most central, and DI-aded that the gate money was always large at the Rhvl meeting. He pointed out that the National Eisteddfod would be held there next year, a proof of the growth of the town. He said that on Saturday a hall had been opened which was without its equal in the North of England. He said the movement would meet with the most cordial unanimity, and moved that the show for 1892 be held at Rhyl. Mr Joseph Williams, T.C., Rhyl, seconded, and the proposal was unanimously carried. On the motion of Mr Arthur Evans, seconded by Mr Scott Bankes, Mr E. Whitley, M.P., now resident in Rhyl, was elected president. Mr W. Conwy Bell, of Bodrhyddan, was elected vice-president, on the motion of Mr Sheffield, Rhyl, seconded by Mr E. Peel. The committees were elected, and at the close a vote of thanks was passed to Sir Watkin on the motion of Sir Robert Cunliffe, seconded by Mr Scott Bankes. I THE LUNCHEON. I The luncheon, supplied by Mr Murleaa, of the Wynnstay Arms Hotel, was served at one o'clock in a marquee. Sir Robert Cunliffe, Bart., presided, and there were present: Sir W. Williams Wynn, Bart., the Right Hon. G. Osborne Morgan, Q.C., M.P., Mr Scott Bankes, Dr. Palin (Mayor of Wrexham), Mr E. Peel, Mr P. P. Pennant, Mr F. Lloyd, vice. president, &c. The Chairman, in proposing "The Queen," referred to the cordial and loyal reception which Wrexham and district gave her Majesty when she visited the town. He hoped the Queen would be induced to pay another visit soon, and was sure that in that event a reception even more cordial than the former one would be given. (Cheers.) The Chairman also proposed "The Prince and Princeps of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family." He said the Royal Family did their duty, and proved themselves good citizens of the country. (Applause.) Mr Edmund Peel proposed the Members of Parliament Present," coupling with it the name of Mr Osborne Morgan. He regretted the absence of the Hon. G. T. Kenyon, who was prevented attend. ing in consequence of the funeral of a relative. Mr Peel humorously said farmers were accus- tomed to grumble at the weather and the members of Parliament. The weather had changed for the better just now, so there were only the members left. (Laughter.) He thought the representatives in Parlia. ment received but poor thanks-(hear, hear)—and he trusted that which ever party was in power, they I would always consider the just interest of agri- culturists. (Applause.) Mr Osborne Morgan, who was warmly received, feel- ingly referred to the death of the Postmaster-General, whom they had been accustomed to see at such gather- ings. He congratulated the Society upon the success of the show. When he was looking at the butter making competition, he wondered how it was that they sent over the sea to America for cheese, and to Denmark for butter. (Hear, hear.) He had recently read a report of the Board of Agriculture, which re- ferred to the excellent work done by the Bangor College. So good was the work done. that the Board had voted the very large sum of 2500 for the purpose of Agricultural Education in North Wales, and he hoped its effect would be shown in many an agricultural show. (Hear, hear.) He wished be could give them some practical advice upon farming. He had had some little experi- encp, but he found that hia part of the work was chiefly that of signing cheques. (Laughter.) He would refer those present for sound advice to Mr Scott Bankes, and others who had made their fortune by farming. Mr P. P. Pennant, in proposing Success to the Denbighshire and Flintshire Agricultural Show, said the Society, like most other institutions of its age, had had its ups and downs, but any one who went round the present show and looked not so mueh at the Quantity as the quality. and at the list of ofifcers, would agree that the show was not down now but up. (Applause.) In this opinion he was confirmed by a comparison with the two last shows at Mold and Ruthin. He congratulated the two gentlemen who had carried r fit champion prises for stock and sheep, and their exhibits would have done no discredit to the Royal Show. If the Royal Show came to Chester, as they hoped and trusted it would, two years hence--(applause)-he hoped those two ex- hibitors would be able to takp champion prizes there, and thus reflect credit on Flintshire and Denbigh- shire. (Hear, hear.) He coupled with the toast the names of the patron, Sir W atkin W* Wynn (who, along with his predecessors, had been the mainstay of the Society for a long time) and of the president, Sir Robert Cunliffe, and the vice-president, Mr Frank Lloyd. The members would have to look a long way hack before they found such able men managing the affairs of the Society. (Applause.) Sir Watkin, in replying, said whatever the quantity at the show might be, the quality was ex- cellent. They could not expect in a small district to compete with a show like the Royal, but what they could expect and what they did hope for was to have animals in the show fit to send to the Royal Show. In his estimation there were .everal auch among that day's entries which would hold their own at any exhibition of I the Royal Agricultural Society. It was J gratifying to know that the Denbighshire and Flintshire Society was in a sound financial state, and it behoved them to make an effort to enlist the sympathy of all agriculturists throughout the dis- trict to support the show in every possible way, and to keep it a success now that it had got its head above water. There were times when it was not so Bucces- ful, and now that it was fairly afloat let them hope it would continue to prosper and to show the model type of animals to be bred by the Denbighshire and Flint- shire farmers. That would be a good thing for large and small farmers alike-the former could have the best stock and show the small holders what they ough t to breed, and the small farmers, if they could not afford to keep show stock, could afford to keep a good quality of animals, and whenever they got a chance feed the larger farmers with their stock. (Applause.) The President, after explaining the absence of the Hon. G. T. Kenyon, M.P., pointed out how the town of Wrexham, with its rich mineral district, was a source of benefit to the agricultural population. Those of them who were dependent on the land had their ups and downs, hut he looked hopefully to the future. They had passed through a very trying period about 1879 and 1880, but of late the results had been much improved. He had great faith in the energy of the British farmer, who was now turning hia attention to everything that would bring the best products from the land, and he felt sure those who could breed such excellent stock as had been seen in the ring that day would not fail in the race of competition with any other country in the world. (Applause.) Mr Lloyd briefly responded, and praised the cheese exhibits, which he regarded as good enough to com- pete with anything at Chester. (Hear, hear.) When the Royal Show visited Chester those exhibitors would doubtless compete there, and give a good account of themselves. Mr Scutt Bankes gave The Town and Trade of Wrexham," and praised the capital of North Wales for the cordial co-operation which had contributed to I the success of the show. The Mayor (Dr. Palin), replying, intimated that, with the co-operation of his fellow Councillors, he intendended to memorialise the Royal Agricultural Society to hold its show at Chester two years hence, and he trusted Wales would not be backward in bringing exhibits, and would carry off many valuable prizes from the show. (Applause.) The proceedings in the luncheon tent then ended. I THE SHOW. I Those competent to pronounce an opinion express themselves highly satisfied with the show, and say that, although the numbers were somewhat small, the quality waa high. The entries for cheese and butter were large, and I the quality was of supreme excellence. The two counties have always stood high in these articles, but this year the judges are able to pronounce an advance of a very considerable kind in each class. The butter attracted many competitor. The cattle, which were exhibited in the Eagles Meadow, were very attractive. The shorthorns were fairly represented. Capt. Ormrod's bull was admired, as was Mr Lloyd's jToiia Gwynne." Mr King, of Ruthin and Mr Lloyd showed some promising heifers. The Welsh cattle were particularly good, and the bulls were exceptionally fine. The crcss- breds, too, had much to commend them. Mr Peel, of Brvnypyp, won the champion prize with his fine bull Fairford." The useful prize of 95, given by the Secretary, for the best pair of dairy cows, milking properties to be taken into consideration, was won by Mr Studley, of Overton. The horses, which were stalled in Mr Lloyd's covered mart. were distinctly a good class. Like other departments the entries were smaller than ought to have been the case, but it was here that quality was to be observed. We have no recollection of having seen a more promising collection of horses than were exhibited. The cart horses were strong, and the whole class showed that increasing care is being paid to breeding. The young horses too were very good. The light horses were fine specimens of their race, and the judging was difficult. Sheep proved interesting, for some of the priza winners were excellent. The Welsh class was strong, and the owners have every reason to be highly pleased with their exhibits. Piga were not numerous. The poultry too were rather few but some capital birds were shown. The prizes for dogs (which were open) drew as fine a collection of dogs as has been seen in a local show. Many of the animals were of very high quality, and as usual this department was visited by a very large number of people. The competition in making butter attracted seven entries, and the covered sala ring was the place where the work took place. The competition attracted crowds of spectators, who were able to see how butter is made. and made too on the most approved principles. During the afternoon, Mr Nuttall, of Leicester, delivered an interesting lecture on butter-making to a crowded audience. The following is the PRIZE LIST. CHEESE.

BRYMBO CONSERVATIVE AND UNIONIST CLUB. On Friday a special meeting of the members was held for the purpose of considering the building of the new Assembly Room, and to consider a pro- posal to reduce the annual subscription from 53 to 2s. Mr W. P. Butler presided, and there were also present Messrs John Griffiths (Myfanwy Cottage), Powell (Bryndedwydd), J. Mathiaa, J. Williams, Roberts, W. Rogers, S. Mathiaa, E. Jones, Jackson, Alfred Price, Owen Charies, Taylor, Lloyd, Ll. Evaus, E E. Rogers, Evan Evao3, cmvcral othoro. ThP Chairman explained the steps already taken as to the proposed new room, from which it appeared that preparations are being made for building a fine spacious assembly room at the rear of the club premises. Almost all the materials had already been promised, viz., bricks. slates, timber, mortar, lead, paint, glass. &c., and the members of the club had themselves cleared the ground and excavated the foundations. Great praise was due to the members who after working all day in the coal pit gave some hours hard work for the good of the catase which tney have at heart. The members expressed themselves greatly indebted to Mr Butler for the trouble he had taken in the matter. Ultimately it was decided to commence thp. building the following week, arrangements having been made with the builder. Mr Owen Charles explained the proposals with regard to the proposed redaction of tho- annual subscription, and the meeting being anani- mcusly of opinion that the membership roll waa now large enough to justify the redaction, ti24 proposal was heartily agreed to, and a considerable number of new members Bropoaed. Mr John Ed wards was elected secretary to the Brynibo Constitutional Association, in the place or r Wright resigned. ————— ———
