DENBIGH. i Denbigh Wonkingmen's Reading Room. -$» Mr Swayne presided over the annual meeting of the subscribers on Friday evening. Among those pcesant were Messrs D E H Robarte, W L Keepfer, C Cottom, B Lloyd Jonee, J H Palmer, W Drury, J T D Halford, and 0 M Drury (hon I secretary). Apologies for absence were announced from Mrs Tumour, Miss Townebend, and Miss Gold Edwards. The meeting' expressed their sympathy with Miss Gold Edwards in her illness. THE REPORT AN INCREASING MEMBERSHIP. The Hon Secretary submitted his annual report as bdow The working com- mittee h&ve much pleasure in presenting the list of subscribers and statement of accounts for the year ended 31st December, 1913, and are very pleased to state that the rooiiis continue to be appreciated and well appreciated. The number of sub- scribers is 71 j as against 64 last year, with an increase of J61 lis, and ehows that the utility of the institution is increasingly recognised by oar townspeople. The receipts from billiards and bagatelle continue to increfcse steadily, and testify to the patronage of the rooms. The com- mittee found it necessary, as mentioned in their last report, to have the rcof over the refreshment room repaired, and tbiJ was done at a cost cf X17 other small repairs to ice chimneys and landers were also carried out. The committee desire to thank the kind frieuls who continue to give daily papers to the rooms, which considerably reduces the expenditure under this head. The net cost of providing papers, it will be seen, was only £2 17s lid for the year. Billiards and bagatelle tournaments have been held and continue in popu- rity. Bl.iiatd matches with neighbouring institutions have also taken place and occasioned considerable interest. The committee desire to express their most cordial thanks and appreciation of the untiring efforts and interest of their hen secretary (Mr 0 M Drury), the excellent financial results of tha hit few years are considerably dua to him, and are pleased to report he has consented to continue in office, The ro-cifictit)if of Mrs Pierce as caretaker sni housekeeper, and Mr William Williams as assistant; caretaker is recom- mended. The statement of accounts showed the recaipfB to be 1136 19s 6d, including subscriptions L27 2s 61, billiards C30 133 6d, bagatelle £ 30 33 8d. The Chairman moved the adoption of the report and statement of accounts, which were entirely satisfactory. He con- gratulated the committee on the year's. working. Mr Halford seconded, and it was carried unanimously. PRESIDENT & VICE-PRESIDENTS. Mr Cottom proposed the reflection of the President and Vies-Presidents, re- marking that, as they hsd all been such good friends to the institution when it was not in such a flourishing condition, the committee had all the more confidence now in asking them to continue in office when the institution was flourishing (applause). Mr Kepfer, in seconding, said they owed a dsbt of gratitude to them all for the way in which they bid supported them in tha past, and still did so (applause). The motion was carried heartily. On the motion of Mr Halford aud Mr John Williaais, Mr W Metellus Jones was re-elected hon treasurer and Mr G Porter hon auditor, with thank3 for their past services. The general committee were re-elected on the motion of Mr Drury and Mr D E H Roberta. Tne working committee were also re- elected and empowered (if necessary) to till a vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr Price, The Hon Secretary was re-elected on the motion of Mr Cotifom and Mr Palmer, and was most heartily thanked for his excellent services to the institution.

.. Denbigh Literary and Social…
Denbigh Literary and Social Society. On Friday night the Town Hall was occupifd by a highly interested audience to hear a lecture by Mr Caradcc Rees, Burriaier-at-Uw, on Abraham Lincoln." The Mayor (Councillor T Lloyd Jones) presided, and introduced the lecturer in a brief and pithy speech. Tee lecturer was given a hearty reception. He described the adverit of Abraham Lincoln into American history. The narrative was lull of interesting facts, illustrating the birth, youtb, and subsequent manhood of his subject until he reached the exalted position of President of the United States. The wonderful doings and behaviour of the President during the war wag graphically described, end frequently called forth applause from the attentive audience. Many cf his accomplishments were set forth with great skill by the lecturer, who remarked that rising a3 Liceoin did from I absolute obscurity, with scsni; education, many hardships, and frequent rebufa to the goal of the leader of a great nation, must be an inoentivs to young men, especially those who hed the modern facilities of prccaring educaticn and advancement that were now cpen to most young people. Mr RefS concluded amid load applause. In propos; » a vote f thanks to the Lecturer, the resident, Mr Hugh JODB, B.A., referred to the fact that they had, as a Society, enj JYfd lectures from Mr Rees and the Hon W Ormsby Gore, M.P., and that the Society, in his opinion, hid done well by having these lectures (applause). I Mr Hardy sconded, end it was carried with applause. Mr B!es briery acknowledged the vote of thanks, and proposed a vote of thanks to the Mayor for presiding.—Mr D H Davies seconded, and it was carried with applause. «
Denbighshire Society | : Annual…
Denbighshire Society | Annual Dinner. KING AND THE DENBIGHSHIRE j t SOCIETY. Mr Edward T John, M.P., presided at the third annual dinner of the Denbigh- {shire Society in London, held on Satur- day night, at the Trocadero Restaurant, the principal guest being Major-General Sir Francis Lloyd. Amongst a large company also present were L»dy Lloyd, „ Lord Howard da Walden, Sir A Griffith j Boscawen, M.P., andy Griffith Boscawen, „ the Hon W Ormsby Gore, M.P., &c. I' A copy on vellum of the portrait of the k late Sir Hugh Myddleton having been sent to the King, the following letter was I received by Mr W A Bayley, chairman of I the society, from his Majesty's private ¡I secretary: Dear, Sir,—The copy on vellum of the portrait of the late Sir Hugh Myddle- ton has been laid before the King. His Majesty much appreciates the spirit which prompted this gift from the Denbighshire Society in London, and desires me to convey to you the expression of his beat thanks for this portrait." In a characteristic humorous speech Mr Spencer Leigh Hughes, M.P., proposed the toast oE' The Denbighshire Society in London." Sir A Griffith Boscawen, replying to the toast, said that Denbighshire was the pioneer county in doing something to- wards allowing young Welsh people to have & chance of learning music and keep- ing up the greatest tradition of the Welsh nation (applause). TOAST BY MR. ORMSBY GORE. The Hon W Ormsby Gore next pro- posed the loast Our Guest." He was the proper person, he thoughf, to propose it-as the representative of the most im- portant constituency in the oounty (laughter). Ha represented the capital of Wales Cardiff should not have that dis- tinction (bear, hear). Surely North Walea —the last of the dependencies to fall, took precedence over South Wales. The de- fence of Princ9 Llewelyn was a pattern for every county in Wales. The county | was a pattern in more ways than one. Where did the architect who built the I House of Commons get some of his ideas ? I Why did he go down to Wrexham Charch? He had the pleasure of proposing the toast of their guest, Major-General Sir Francis Lloyd, whom they could claim as a Denbighshire man (applause). He came of old Denbighshire stock, in fact, only that evening he had said that his family j came from "Foxholes" (es it was then| called), near Henllan, Denbigh. It was moat appropriate to honour as their guest called), near Henllan, Denbigh. H was moat appropriate to honour as their guest I a man who bad done more for the Welsh Territorials thin any other man in the Kingdom (applausa). Sir Francis Lloyd was proud of his command when he com- manded the Welsh Territorial Division. He remembered once, at the instigation of Sir Francis, taking a detachment of the Shropshire Yeomany—24 in number and mounted—to face 500 Englishmen. The Shropsbires won-for many of them were Welshmen (applause). The great obstacle set before them was to capture the General's motor car—SEd they did it. They were indeed proud to have Sir'! Francis among them (hear, hear). There I was one thing, however, with which he must twit the General. He was told that Sir Francis had a good ear for music and knew two songs exceptionally well. One was God save the King and the other —wasn't (lougbter). He was sure Sir Frank's wab glad to be the guest of a music 1 soc; y and would enjoy, as they all did, th brilliant talent that was contributing songs and enlivening their gathering (applause). They hoped that in his new command, a great command, Sir Francis would have every success that his high calling admitted. It was a oom- mand to which every soldir should aspire. All they who knew Sir Francis knew that he would carry it out with great capa- bility, great courage, and great personality —a chsrm which always distinguished him (applause). COL WYNNE EDWARDS AND THE TERRITORIALS. Major-General Sir Travers Lloyd responded to the toast in eloquent and inspiring terms. He first thanked the Soeiety and his brother soldier—Mr Ormsby Gore — for the too kind way in which they had proposed this toast and I promised them a story in refutation of the libel that bad been made upon him in I reference to the God save the King story." It was a proud moment of his life, and he said it advisedly. It was when ) he was leading 1,000 Grenadiers to action. Out of that number about 120 were Welsh speaking men, and as they were marching to battle they burst into song—Welsh song. There had been sad moments in his life too-when he had fought with Welsh- men anil they had fallen about him many to rise no more. He was proud to be the guest of the Society. He chimed a county connection, and a very strong one. He was in possession of a grant from Henry de Ltcy, Earl of Leicester, signed in 1288, which had reference to some land in the I district of Lloweni, Denbigh. He was very sorry that bis grandfather had sold tbe particular land in 1795. He and his wife paid a visit to the county recently to see if they could buy back the land, but it. was impossible. He could claim that his I ancestors had served nine times as Mayors of Denbigh Town (applause). There were connections other than family ones. He was pruud of his connection with the Territorials in Wales. There was no county in the United Kingdom that should be more proud of its citizen iioldisre than Denbigh, and it was due in the greatest degree to Col Wynne Edwards (bea-, hear). They had a battalion occond, to none, but he must admit that there were I battalions in other parts very near it. There WAS no better kt ttali« n than he had in London. He inspected the battalion at Rbyl recently, and it was one of the finest he had spen. It was due in part to Ocl Wynne Edwards, part to themselves, and part to the greatest optimism of the great- est Secretary of State that they had ever, had (applause). If it were cot for that great optimism he wondered where that* Territorial Force would b3. The Territorial Army w^s the expression of the people— Rud though much had been said to the contrary, it was the finest thought of 0oq of the greatest Statesman of the 19lb I century, who had served the country for 60 years, most of the time in the Cabinet; he referred to Lard Palmerston (applause). He had invincible optimism. The speaker believed it was optimism they wanted. Pessimism hid done nothing for anyone since the world began. He wanted to keep up that optimism by keeping up the Terri- i torisl Force. It was the only one they were likely to have. Pessimism was not a trait of the Welshman. Lord Howard de Walden proposed the toast of the President, Mr E T John, who responded. IN MEMORY OF SIR HUGH MYDDLETON. A toast to a memory was the last toast of tha evening. The proposer was the President, who said In inviting you to drink to the memory of Sir Hugh Myddleton, I cannot refrain from felicita- ting your conmmittee upon the existence at this juncture of a Denbighshire Society: in London, so happily enabled to ac- 1 centuate and emphasise the services rendered to the Metropolis by ono among the many distinguished sons of Denbigh- shire—never perhaps more notable and numerous than in his day. The defective water supply of London at the close of the sixteenth century was a problem of dire urgency and painful significance, so much so that the work of Sir Hugh Myddelton in bringing the Laa river to London won for him instant recognition and the grateful appreciation of his contemporaries, Pennant stating how In 1608 the dauntless Welshman stept forth and emote the rock, and on Michaelmas Day, 1613, the water flowed into the thirsty Metropolis." The miracle which this seventeenth century Moses performed involved, however, infinite patience, persistence, perseverance, and very con- siderable financial risk and loss, only overcome by Royal co-oparation. It was, however, always an outstanding feature of Myddelton's character, that cot jointly with his successful conduct of his business as goldsmith and financier in London, he was elsewhere much of the marchant adventure—intrepidly endeavouring to develop resources of his country, Feard*iing for coal near Denbigh, mining in Cardigan- shire, and reclaiming land in the Isle of Wight-clearly a man of b.o&d and statesmanlike conceptions, appreciating Ir tie place and utility of imag* vitic n in commerce, and in no wsy deficient in that dcur determination, which is oft regarded as more Scotch than Welsh—perhaps more Saxon thin Celtic, bat which is no where more strongly exemplified than in the indestructible vitality of the Celtic fringe. To the sons and daughters of Denbighshire the memory of Sir Hugh Myddelton is rendered doubly dear by his fervent and heartfelt affection for the home of his childhood, the lacd and country of his birth. His letters teem with evidence of profound attachment to the town of Denbigh, the parish of Hen- llan, his kinsfolk and the associates of his youth, and Denbigh aDd its as- sooiated boroughs delighted to do him honour by repeatedly returning him to Parliament, where he was noted for the sagacity and soundness of his counsel than for the copiousness of his oratory. His day and generation happily learned to appreciate and to honour him, his public I spirit, his unaffectcd modesty, his high I integrity, his brood culture, his intense kindliness of disposition, have 1 ft behind him a fragrant memory which we do well this evening sincerely to honour." DENBIGH AND RUTHIN SINGERS. The musical portion of the proceedings was quite as important as the toasts and epsechee, and we had a ood opportunity of listening to talent of an exceptionally high (.rder. To mention the names of Miss Sybil Vane and Mr Furness WiHiems —of the Royal Opera, Govent Garden— soprano and tenor respectively, is a I guarantee of something great. Miss Vane bails from Cardiff, and Mr Furness Williams from Ruth'n. The latter was in ) excellent voic3; and before this critical audienca sarg splendidly. His song from Pagliacchi was a distinct success, and the other members were deserving of as great praise. It was pleasing to find two other names familiar in the Denbigh district on the programme. One was Miss Megan Edwards, niece of Mr W Parry Williams, High-street, whose Peoillion" singing and harp accompaniment elicited warm appreciation. We have heard Miss Megan Edwards before, when she his I demonstrated her abilities over the harp, but we have not heard her as a vccUist. The other local artiste was Miss Dora Thomas, Ruthin, a former pupil of Mr Wilfrid Jones, and her singing delighted the audience quite as much as did the singing of her contemporaries. She holds much promise. Miss Mina Williams, another Welsh l&dy, was the remaining vocalist, and she sang very sweetly. The accompanist was Mr Lemuel Bowen. Upon this occasion, as in former years, Mr George E Mitchell, the secretary, fiang topical verses relevant to passing events in the history of the Society, to the tone of 41 Men of Denbigh." Each of the items were encored. The singing of Hen WIad fy Nhadau" and the National Authem brought another memorable evening to a close.
IMOTOR CARS, AND A TRIP ROUND…
MOTOR CARS, AND A TRIP ROUND THE WORLD, AT NO COST. I la these days of vigorous advertising, many iugenlotn ideas have been exploited, but turely nothing has been more striking than the lavish generosity of Messrs Joseph Watson & Sons, of Leeds, the makera of "W åteon's Matchless Cleanser." This firm ia just bringing to a cloae a competition which must have attracted atten- tion in every parb of the country. The prize- giving is based wholly upon the number of Matchless Cleanser," Nubolicand Spark- la wrappers which are sent in, and the prize3 themselves are of such extraordinary value, and so numerous, as to excite wonder and admira- tion. No fewer than four motor cirs will be given away, and seme lucky person will obtain a first-class free tour of the wor:d (yalue 2200). But Messrs Wataon'd generosity does not sbop thore. Othar prizes include a dozen pianos and organs, 15 Chesteifiald lounges, 150 vacuum cleaners, and literally hundreds of thousands of acceptable and valuable house- hold requirements. A unique feature of the competition ia that a prize ia guaianteed to every competitor who sends wraj pjrs acooiding to the rules, and every priz3 is guaranteed the value abated. Readers should particularly note that the last date for sending in wrappers is Mftrch 31s,

THE VALE OF CLWYD SANATORIUM…
THE VALE OF CLWYD SANATORIUM To the Editor of the FREE PRESS, Sir,—Reading the evidence in support of the proposed Yale of Clwyd Sanatorium at Plas Llangwjfan, I particularly noticed the statement made by Mr E H Mmwrd, clerk to the Abergele Parish Council, in which he says that the existing ssnatoiium at Abergele is situated within two fields of Sir Herbert Roberta' mar-sion, and that the latter had nmde no objection to it. By tMs it wonld ecera that the Abergele Sana- torium is (1) Very close to and (2) in full view of the mamioD. Firstly, the buildings are fully half-a mUe apart and are farther separated by a small wooded valley and a public highway seoonuly, the Abergole Sanatorium is not by any means in full view of the mansion and the Vale of Clwyd Sanatorium would not (on the admission of its supporters) ba ia the slightest degree hidden from the 00013pler of the adjoining property. Mr Millward has also omitted to state that the Abergele Sanatorium is not a new building, but an existing tcansion with the addition cf a laundry is being utilised. Lastly, I may say that in my own opinion and in chat of a large number of the J residents of Abergele, the oases of the existing sanatorium rt Abergele and the ¡ proposed Vale of Clwyd Sanatorium at Plis Llaiigwlfan have not the slightest similarity and present absolutely no parallel.—Yours, I &3., AN ABERGELE RESIDENF.

FORMER RUTHINITE'S CANADIAN…
FORMER RUTHINITE'S CANADIAN EXPERIENCES, REPLY TO MR BRYAN. To the Editor oe the FREE PRES*. Sir,—Being an old Denbighshire man, in fact having spent the first 12 years of my life at Ruthin, I oeoasionally have a copy of the Free Press sent oat to me. In the issue of Saturday, February 7ht I see a Mr Bryan wrote a letter on the eubj^ot of "Emigration to Canada," and, while admitting the majority of hia statements as being correct, the minority are to my way of thiafclug so absurd that, in all fairnsss to those of yon/ readers who may be inflaenced by this article, I fed that as an old Ruthfnite I must do 1n1 bast to refute thsci. To begin with ha BftYB, "A eoned constitution h necessary, as there are no hoepitais out there, and doctors are very, very expensive, and ia most cases muso be paid every time they come to the house to gbe treatment." Now I have gone to some pains to find ont the state of things cs they exist at the present tiase in the West. Mr Bryan I imagine can have had no very extended experience out here, or at any rate not for many years, or he would ba wall aware that thsre is at least one hospital in every city in Canada and in moat of the larger towns. Also in con- tradiction of hia paragraph on charities (which we will discuss later) I may add t i&t the majority of those hospitals depend vary largely on charity to their upketp. Agaiu I have heard too muoh about tho trouble to which doctors are pulu in collecting their long past clue accounts, to treat hia Gish duotorij with any degree of terioasRSss, and I can quote instance after instance ot poor people in tbo Wcet who have bsen unable to pay the. doctor lot many months alao of sny nun-ber of doctors who are nob woil off to day, only because they are unabte to colleeb ^hat is owing to them. Did Mr Bryan wish to g&ia the sympathy of your readers when he waxed so in- dignant at the humble method we have in Canada of quenching our thirst ? I WJUM like to emphasize tha fact that these engaged in hard phjgioal labour ott here do drink nothing but wi tsr, ard I det. anyone to find a commurity cf better set I up men. So much for Mr Bryan's Lworee- what undignified way of expressing Ms disapproval of this custom of the country. Farther on, Mr Bfyen advises tboae I goiLg cut to the North West to step off in the East for twelve months. Is it neces- sary to suggest to your readers that thia would be a culpable waste of time, when the emigrant could be getting acquainted with the life, the conditions, and also the people in the particular district where he intended to make his home ? It may interest your readers to kaow that people from the British Isles invariably feel the cold least in their first year. Mr Bryan then proceeds to give us eoaie grim stories of the intense cold in Naw England, i.e., the Eastern United States. Io would, perhaps, have baen more to the point if Mr Br) en had told your readers something about the climate of Canada, as his letter is on the subject of emigration to Canada and not the States. Finally Mr Bryan tells ns that Charitable institutions are as ecarce ae milestones on ths Atlantic Ooean," This statement is a disgraceful slander on the people- of Canada, for out here there are several big charities for Instance, the Salvation Army, the Margaret Scott Mission, and the hospitals, to say nothing of the associated charities. Subscriptions were received from all over Canada for the San Francisco earthquake, and more recently the Titanic disaster, which goes to prove that despite the fact that Mr Bryan found people seeking charity, had to work too hard for the pecuniary assistance they received, the country has nevertheless proved itself charitably disposed towards those in real need. Apologising for tsklng op so much of your valuable space, I am, air, yours truly, RUPERT C REECE. 76" Colony-street, Winnipeg, Man., Canada. March 4th, 1914.
INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS IN CANADA.
INDUSTRIAL CONDITIONS IN CANADA. MR W S BRYAN DEFENDS HIS STAEEMENTS, -To the Editor of tbe FREE PRESS, Sir,—I have jast received a copy of your interesting paper dated February I 21st of this year. la this issue is a letter from Mr William Grifiib. w'ao, I presume, is the Canadian emigration agent, now on a visit to Wa'e?. I shall proceed to pen an answer to his letter at once but in the □jdintime I woull ask you to reprint and publish enclosed letter from Mr J Stuart, of Sink Ste., Marie, Oatario, Canada, dated January 27oh, 1914, addressed to the EH lor of the Liverpool Weekly Mercury and pnbli&hed in that paper February 21st. I ask you to do so in the Interest of th8 pub'.ic and those who have their eyes turned in the direction of Canada at the p.esent time. Thanking you in anticipation.-I am, yours truly, W S BRYAN. 80. Oak-street, Waterbury, Connecticut, U. S, A. The letter referred to, which is signed by 11 J SIaigt, Sault, Made, Ontario, January 274h, 1914," says The articles I refer to would lead one to think that owing to record harvests and statistical reports of progress in imports and exporti the lot of the working mea i. a 1 happy one. Now, this is not so, and as a resident o! this country for some years I can safely say that the working man's lob was never so hard as it is now. There are many thousands of men throughout Canada j unable to find work. Winnipeg alone oan [ account for twenty thousand Toronto has about as many, and so on all over the country. Why, even in a small plaoe like Sault Ste, Marie there are hundreds walk- ing about workless, and more are expected to be laid eft daily. Not only that, but many of the m a who are working have received substantia! cuts in their pay, and they dare not kick," or they would be superseded by others who would gladly do anything to get the wherewithal to live. Men here work, es a rule, under far worse conditions than in England. They are required to produce more, and are supervised to the laJlb notch. In most places joba are timed, and according to a man's ability to make the time, so he is pdd. This may look all right to some people, but it's a fine example of the survival of tie fittest, and the fit ones are few and far indeed. The general Bea in England is that workmen get much bigger pay in Canada than at home. So he does but when he has paid his bills he is no better off. It the average working man in Canada went in for the tame quantity and quality of amusement and recreation that the working man in England does, and can tffjrd, he would go sadly in the hole. The only man who can save money in this country ia the man who forsakes all pleasures and devotes himself wholly and safely to work. work. I do not write this to give people the idea that Canada never was 01 never will be (my good but to show them that coming to tbis country at the present time is a beriout, step to take. It is an absolute trnth- there are ^thousands starving, and immi- grants are more than likely to have to hang oat till the tpring before they can get anything to do. Intending immigrants would be well advised to etay at home till the warm weather comes, for this is a cold country to go hungry In-much colder than Eogland."

GWYDDELWERN. A PLEASANT EVENING: UNIQUE GATHERING. I A moat successful concert was held at Oraiglelo Hall, the object being to spend I a ploaiaat evening in the company of Miss Blodwea Richards, who, through I indisposition, is deprived of the enjoyment bf-r numerous friends derive from the various social gatherings that are held in the district. The psrty was highly pleased to see Miss Alice Edwards, Po-fe Office, Bettws, also in their midst. The services of ths noted comedian from Llangollen, viz., Mf Walter Lettescma, were secured, and an outburst of applause 'I met his first appearance rigged up as a paperhanger and singing When father papered the parlour.' He was loudly encored and sang Breakfast in bed on Sunday morning,' which was highly ap- preciated. Equally pleasing was his fiae rendering cf I was standing at the corner of the street,' and he responded to an encore with When father joined the Territoiiils,' "h:ch creattd roarg of laughter. The nrxi song w. a I Wh(-n the missus gsys its blitek-wfll its bl>ck.' This acrain was encored. By special re- quest ho crowned his songs by giving agiin c Father papered the parlour' in 0 txcellent fashion, and this time the audience, much to their delight, were abler to pin in the ohorus. Miss Jonee, I Brithdir, the excellent reciter, also heartily gave >er services, rendering with effect three recitations and one eacore. Her firsi was a splendid rendering of I Piwb I at y peih y bo,' which the audience greatly en hyed, but her masterpiece was Suddiad y Titanic,' hr flae lendering ? of so difficult a li,-ce showing great ability, and no lees pleasing to the aud- ience was her last contribution, viz., < Mr Moody a'r fam a'r plentyn,' which followed her second rendering, by request, of I S'lddid y Titanic.' Mr W Llovd YVilliaing (Glandonwy) sang two gongs with taste and tffect, viz., 'Three fori Jack and Y Baunerur.' A humorous recitation waa given by Mr E James Hughes, Stores. Mr R ldris Williams sang 'Castiau Gwraig,' followed by a song, I Men(ra Blodwen,' by Mr R Ol Jones, Mardy Bach. Miss Davies, Ty- nant, pleased the attendance with Un- waith etto'n yn Ngbymru anwyl,' which was followed by a fine rendering ol Arglwydd arwsin trwy'r anialwch by Mr Hywel Daviea, Tyn'fedw. Miss Edwards, of Battws, with her melodious vcicr, sang a few a.ngg with effecf. The duties of ac.ompan;8ts were ably performed by M'ss Hannam aud Mr Jones Edwards, B tiwa. 1 Daring the interval the party partook of a pplendid repspt, Ustefully prepared by the kind family of Craig!elo. A very interesting item on the programme was the presenting to Miss Richards by the chairman, the Rev J Foulkes Ellis, of a purse containing a substantial amount cf money. Mr Ellis gave an txctllent address, and, turning to Miss Richards, said that he was pleased on behalf of the party to hand over to her the present as a small token of the best of feelings that existed between her and her numerous friends. Miss Richards, in kind and broken tcnep, responded, and heartily thanked one and all for their kindnes?. A moat hearty vote of thanks was pro- posed to Mr and Mrs Richards and family for their splendid reception and hearty welcome by Mr Ellis Roberts, Oaehir, and seconded by Mr Edward Robsrte, Aran House. An equally hearty vote of thinks to the artistes and all who hed taken part in the entertain- meat was proposed by the Chairman, and carried amid loud applause to Mr Walt,er Lettesome especially, who gave I his services free. Mr Richards, on behalf of the family, thanked all for their presence and kind- ness towards Blodwen.' The singing of 'Hen Wlad fy Nbadau brought a most enjoyable evening to a close. May these two favourites be soon re- stored to health, that they may, as in the past, c)ntribute towards the pleasures of life.
