THE INVESTITURE 1 OAR1NA1R VOX MAYOR'S PROTEST. O.WES RHOSCOMYL FLAKES APOLOGY. FOR A SLIP. The feature of the investiture controversy this week has been an amusing slip on the part of Owen Rhoscamyl, who has mistaken Mr Myrddin Evans for the Mayor of Car- narvon. On Wednesday the Mayor (Mr J T. Ro- berts) caused the following- telegram to be sent to Owen Rhosoornyl: — Please apologise for and withdraw un- reservedl,y in the pufblie Press the umwar- ranted use of my name in your letter pub- lished to-day. I have declined, and will decline, to take part in the unwise and un- seemly bnawl which is being provoked over a question of transcemdant imiport jtnoQ to Wal'es. In to-day's "Manchester Guardian" the fallowing letter appears — Sir,—It is an old proverb in war that every man is at the mercy of his informa- tion, and behold me held up here as the Je- suit of misinformation!. Two days ago a. friend showed me copies of your paper and the 'Liverpool' Daily Post' containing a du- plicated' letter from Mr Myrddin Evans. "There's the Mayor of Carnarvon's case," he said. "Thait's the Mayor of Carnarvon. So I wrote a. little reply which you pub- lished to-day, as I understand. For to-day another 'friend hasitened to tell me of the awful catastrophic mistake I'd made, and even while he spoke the telephone bell rang to oaJil) me up to hear that there's a two- page telegram from the Mayor of Carnarvon waiting for me, and-well, you'll net ask ma to harrow you with the details of that! So now I've to sypologise1 to the Mayor of Carnarvon for writ,ing of Mr Myrddin Evans as Mayor of Carnarvon, and don t doubt at all buit that I'll also have to aipologise to appease the fury of Mr Myrddin Evans at finding himse'f written down as Mayor of Carnarvon. So here's that too, and there you are, and we'll all start fresh, and—"A oes heddweh?"—'Yours, etc-• 1 OWEN RH08C0MYL,

'rA JUSTICES' ORDER REVERSED STIFF FIGHT OVER A CARNAKVON- SHIRE LUL^SE. TH1-: ADVANTAGE Or LIVING NEAR A PUBLIC riOCrjE 1 The principal meeting of the Carnarvon- stiite Compensation Authority was held on Monday at Catrnarvon, Air J. E. Greaves (Lu-d Lieutenant), presiding. There were also on the Bench, His Honour Judge Bryn Roba-ts, Dr R. A. Pritchard, Dr Daiton. Dr Jones Roberts, Captain Drage, Messrs J., Issaird Davies, J. Evan Roberts, Thomas Roberts, Robert Hilghes, Ephraim Woodt. R. Norman Davies, Henry Knteehaw, J. Griffith Jones, uud A. W. Wynne Williams. Mr M. E. Nee informed the Bench that the owrfers of the Palace Hotel, Carnarvon, offered no objection to its being referred for compensation. Mr C. A. Jones, cleirk to the magistrates, supported the reference observing that the borough Bench considered there were too many houses in Palace-street, and the Bench made the necessary, orders. Mr Arthen Owen, on beihalf of the magistrates, applied for the confirmation of the order that the Ship Inn, Abersoch, should be referred for compensation, and Mr 0. Robyns Owen, on behalf of persons interested in property consented. Mr Arthen Owen also applied that the Ship Inn, Porthdinlleyn, should be referred and Mr Lloyd Carter for the owners and L licensee consented. lBotJh licenses were re- ferred for compensation, and also the New- Iborouigh Arms, Fourcrosses, Mr Lloyd Carter for the lessor, and Mr J. R, Anthony for the tenant offering no objection. On behalf of the miHgiftrates Mr Lloyd Carter applied for the confirmation of the order referring the Halfway Inn, Talysarn. for compensation; Mr Trevor Lloyd (instructed by Mr Hamlet Roberts) was for the owners and licensee. Mr Lloyd Carter said it was purely a question of redundancy, no complaint being made as to the conduct of the house. For many years the house had been under sentence of death, and in the opinion of the justices it was not required. It was not the class of house wihich should exist, the magistrates thought, but they had not taken action hitherto as they did not .wish to disturb the old lady who kept it. The justices considered that Penygroes was fully manned with taverns. Evidence was given by Supt. Griffith, Xvho ,said the house was nothing but a drinking house, and it was a great temptation to workmen going to the quarries. The house was not required for the needs of the- neighbourhood. Mr Trevor Lloyd: Do you qgree that this house is a trap for workingmen ?—1 agre^ it iq a temptation Do workmen. P.S. R'chad'ds, Penygroes, Mr Meiwyn Jones. schoolmaster, Talysarn., and Mr Rowland Williams, also gave corroborative evidence. Mr Trevor Lloyd said it must be shown that this house as against other houses in the neighbourhood should be taken away. There was absolutely no evidence of differentiation. It was absurd to say that) because the house 'as on the main-road it because the house was on the main-road it was "a trap." The court should not accept the complaints of village women filtering thresh the mouth of a constable with regard to the house which was conducted in an orderly manner. The best evidence as to the conduct of a house was the number of I its patrons.

It was stated that John Hughes, aged 72 years, had been received into the house upon the instructions of Dr Jones, Fes- tiniog.

Jones stated that the man wa3 then in a very low condition, but he had improved greatly. Messrs Robert Owen Williams and Robert Williams reported having visited the. house. Everything was found clean and comfort: able. It was resolved that the chairman and vice chairman should attend the Poor Law Conference to be held at Welshpool during the first week in September.

NIGHT STRUGGLE IN A STORM f TWO MEN DROWNfEID OFF HOLYHEAD I The schooner "William Henry," of Truro, bound from Charlestown, Cornwall, for iRuTDcorn, with a catrgo of china. clay, put into Holyhead on Tuesday afternoon in a dismantled condition. It seesms thiaJt aibout 2 a.m. or 5 a.m. on Sunday, Catptain George Couch ran the ves- sel up thirty miles north-north-east of the Smalls Lighthouse, when he found that the sea was too heavy for him to sail the vessel, and he commenced to sheet the sail. While the forecastle was being made fast a heavy sea. filled the decks fore and aft, sweeping two men ovwboard. These were the mate and a seamian, whose Christian names Fred and John are At present only known. The gaJley was swept clean away, as was the companion ladder leaddng into the cabin. The vessel's boat was simaehed against the bulwarks. The captain himself was almost washed overboard, but he managed to clirg to some rigging',and1 thus save himself When he found his companion-way gone and water filling the caibin he sang out to the others to help him to keep the canvas ovr tb4 aperture. He, however, got no reply. An- other heavy sea. rolled over the -ess&I, and lifted the pieces of the boat, thus releasing the boy, but there was -ùlC sign of the other two. It being dark and uhe dock ful; cf water, the captain was placed in a perilous position. The vessel continued to take the sea on board throughout the ni.-lit, and all he and the surviving boy ooulJ do was to lay across the canvas covering the cab'n to k«ep the swell out. Later they sighted a passing steamer, and the captain imrnediate'.y built up a flare in the hope of being sighted, but no notice was taken of the signal, and the captain almost lost all hope of being rescued. As daylight dawned the gale decreased, and towards afternoon the sul-viv-olw had pumped the water out of the vessel, and finding she was light, and with a fair wind i. their favour, the vessel arrived in Holy- head Roadstead at ten o'clock on Monday nkht. Not halving a boat to communicate with the shore they hoisted a flag, and were eventually taken into the old harbour, where the vessel now lies. ————««—<■

The Society will meet again on Wed nesday, September 13, to consider a scheme for the establishment of an employment bureau in association with the Welsh So condary Schools, brought forward by Mr W. J. Evans, M.A., of the County School. Abev- gelo. Recent developments of Eisteddfod activi- ties are associated with the Welsh Biblio- graphical Society and the Welsh Folk-Song Society. The former is in touch with the National Library of Wales, and the latter offers rewards for the discovery of hitherto unpublished folk-songs. The work of these societies has on the whole widened the sqppe of the Eisteddfod I prize list. This year prizes are offered1 for the best selection from the works and bio- grarhies of eminent Welsh poets; for the collection of the unpublished work of & Welsh poet of the Tudor period, with critical notes; and for a descriptive sketch of Welsh life in Denbighshire during the 19th centurv. The literary competitions are said to form a record. Among the essays invited is one on The effects of the latest researches into science and philosophy on the theological ideas of the Cymry." Other competitions range over architec- ture, modelling, rainting, black and white design, photography, igeology, natural his- tory, and village crafts. An exhibition of Welsh industries and crafts is to be opened at Colwyn Bay on August 26 by Lady Dun- donald. More than ordinary interest attaches to the joint meeting on September 15 of the Gorsedd and the National Eisteddfod As sociation, under the chairmanship of the Archdruid. A section of the Bardic graduates wish to brinz the Gorsedd into closer relationship with the University of Walee. It is a matter on which there is sharp difference of opinion. Bardic degrees are looked upon as the poor man's road to distinction, and some fear exists lest affilia- tion with the University should tend to close the open door." This year's entrants for the chief choral competition are the Rhymney Gwent Choral Society, the North Staffordshire District Choral Society, and the Southport Choir. In the second choral competition the primacy will be disputed by the Crewe Glee and Madrkal Society. Bangor Choral Society, Trecynon United Choir, and Cefn Mawr Choral Society. Seventeen of the leading soloists have be,n engaged for the evening concerts. They will be supported by the Eisteddfod Choir of 250 voices.

THE DOUGLAS TRAGEDY THIRD VICTIM IDENTIFIED, AN lRQX FITTER FROM LLANDUDNO. A new artage of the Douglas tratgedy was entered on on Wednesday night owing to the identification of the third victim, airid in the evening the inquest was concluded on all three of the ill-fated persons found in the halfuour-Amy Cain (18), Lewis Wilson Mat. thews (20), and James M'Cullum (40). De- I spite this settling of identity, however, there is stilj absolutely nothing to show how any one of the three victims came to be drowned, although, of course, there are innumerable rumours, and the mystery is as deep as ever. In regard to t&ie idetntificiation of the oldest of the three deceased, there were among the ooanmunjioations to the police two letters—one from a. 'womtn in Accringtton named M'Cuillooh, and another from a Mrs I tMIOalLum, of Llandudno. Each believed the man as her husba.nd, and both with re- latives crossed1 to Douglas, on Wednesday to view the body. Airs M'CmIloch, who is from Aocrinjgton, saw a strikilllgl resemJblance to her husiband, but certain marks were miss- lp4, AIrs M'lOuHnm was admitted later to the mortuary, and tboth she and the man's i own sister identiflexi the deceased as beyond douibt James M'CuIlum. The jury were therefore summoned, and the inquest re- sumed at nighi The ICoironer explained that all the evi- denlce had been given except the identifica- i tion of the unknown man, and witnesses were now present to show who he was EIVIDENOE1 OF THE WIDOW, Elizabeth M'Oullum, of Wansfell, Glifton- road, Llandudno, said she had seen reports of the case in the newspapers, and, having seen the body that afternoon, she recognised it as beyond doutbt thtatt of her husband, Jaimes M'Galium, aged' forty, an iron-fitter, and laitely working in Hull. She last saw him in 'October. His work took him to various parts of the country. She heard ifrom hun some weeks ago, but had no idea h« was in the Isle of Man. In answer to the coroner and the jury, witnesa said her husiband was of a lively disposition, and she was certain it was an ajccident and not suicide. iMalbel M''Oalliuim, of Llandudno, sister of the deceased, also gave evidence of identifi- cation. She saw him last October. The Oooner: Was he prone to do any- thing to himself?—Not by any means. In summing up the Coroner said that was all the evidence they had of this mysterious affair. They did not know how the three bodies got into the water, and there was no- thing whatever in the evidence to enable the jury to form an opinion). One could form all- sorts of theories, but there was nothing whatever to support them, and the only verdilct he could imagine that the jury would bring in was seemingly that the three per- sons were found drowned. tMr Christian, a juryman, said the ha-rbour police should exercise a- more strong and tjbrirtgent conttrol over the south side of the tharbouir. Mr Woodl, another juryman, endorsed, and said he would like to have had further evidence of Mialtthews', movements on the day of the tragedy, and also as to his dis- position. Mr Withens. jurytman, said he knew the young man, and, as far as he knew, he was most reapecitaJble, and he did not think for one moment he would commit suicide. íMr Wood: His father we all know as one of the most resectable men) in Douglas. The jury una-nimously agreed, that there was no evidence to show how antY of the three got into the harbour. Sbme expressed the opinion that M'Oallum's death haa no •oonmaction wi.* thp other two. tAri open verdict of "Found disowned" was returned, and the jury and coroner ex- pressed their sympathy with the families of aU the deceased persons.

VALE OF CONWAY SHOW'S BIRTHDAY --o- The Vale of Conway Agricultural Society is to be congratulated upon attaining its fortieth anniversary. From a very small beginning the agri- cultural show, held under the auspices of the society, has become one of the most important events of its kind in North Wales. Judging by this year's show, the society is as young in spirit and ambitious in its aims as ever it was. Not content with encouraging the better breeding of live stock, it has made every effort to improve the making of butter. Bee-keeping is also fostered; the section set apart for dogs has become an important feature of the show and this year the society added a horticultural side to the show. We were pleased to observe that their enterprise was fully justified. But the show, after all, had its weakness. The farmers, for reasons best known to themselves, still adhere to the old style of butter-making, and there was not a single exhibit in the competition which came up to the standard one would desire. Until farmers decide upon adopting modern methods, they can hardly expect to compete with nations which are more up-to-date in that respect. The num- ber of the honey exhibits was sadly disappointing. The Vale of Conway is an ideal place for bee-keeping, and it is to be regretted that more advan- tage is not taken by small farmers, in particular, to augment their incomes. Nevertheless, the quality of the ex- hibits was good. There was only half the number of pigs on exhibition as compared with last year. The cattle and sheep were excellent. The entries might have been more numerous, but the quality of the stock, on the whole, was of a superior character. Accor- ding to the judges, the heavy horses were the best shown for some time. The light horses were somewhat mixed, but the geldings were excep- tionally fine. With regard to the dog section, all the classes were well filled. Such was the Vale of Conway Agri- cultural Show in the fortieth year of its existence, and should a similar rate of progress be maintained during the next forty years, we venture to think that it will redound to the credit of the promoters and to the benefit of the community interested.

GENERAL BOLJDAY FOR NORTH WALES. The scheme set on foot by the Loudon and North-Western Railway Company for organising a general holiday along the North Wales coast on the first Wednesday on October is rapidly developing, and the Prestatyn Council has now passed a reso- lution to fall into line with other towns and to proclaim a general holiday in their district. Prior to last year each town worked on its own account, but last October a general holiday was arranged for, and Rhyl, Colwyn Bay, and Llano dUCíno organised large excursions,

AGRICULTURAL IWPR0VEMENT (To the Editor.) &i:r,-Œ should be glad if you will allow me to make some reference to a matter which w engaglIlIg considerable attention in the county of -Caniairvon. It is common knowledge that the County Council have purchased an extensive landed esfta/te. aud that schemes are unjder con- sideiation for its effective utilitization in the best interests of the county, and with fs.pew.al r€^axd to agriculture. Th" scheme, that I understand finds a iounsi evalble measure of support,, is one in- tended to develope, by means of instruction and practical demJonsitration (upon commer- cial lines), better and more remunerative methods of farming throughout the dis- trict; to estalblish in fact what Sir Horace Phinkeltt and his friends in Ireland1 would calj, if I may quote from him, "better farm- ing, better business, and better living." ing, 'better business, and better living." Any scheme must of course he justified upon an eoonomilc basis, to which, no douibt, those who ihave the matit-er in hamid will give the fullest attention. One hears, however, unfortunately, df topiposifion from town raterpayera, and trading interests, which in iteelf is surefv somewhait shlort-sight'ed. If a laiige staple industi-y of the county can be improved, and; rendered more profit- able to those engaged in it, there can be little douibt that prosperity will react and adioot favourably all classes of the com- munity.—I am. vours faithfully.
