Mr. George Duncan, who is so well known at Conway reached the final tage of the Z240 golf tourna- ment last week, but was beaten in the final by Sherlock, of Stoke Poges. Duncan this week, has been presented with a purse subscribed for by ladies and gentlemen members of the Hanger Hill Club as a mark of their respect for him, and as a memento of having established two records in the open championship at St. Andrews this year, viz. :—two rounds of the old course in 73 and 71 respectively, the latter record being shared by Smith, the American professional. Duncan, for some years, was professional with the Carnarvonshire Golf Club at Conway. THE BRITISH RAINFALL.—In the British Rainfall for 1909, which has recently been pub- lished, appears a clever article on The Spot in England and Wales where the snow lies latest, with observations of snowfall on the Snowdonian Range from the pen of Ir. J. R. G-ethin Jcnes, Talybont, and TO illustrate the article appears four photographs taken by Mr. W Hughes, chemist, and at the close of the article the following appears :—I must state that much credit and thanks are due to Mr. W. Hughes, chemist, Conway, for the im- portant work of taking photographs during two journeys, one of which was undertaken at night. The two journeys meant to Mr. Hughes walking 60 miles over 'hill and dale. We can vouch for this latter statement ourselves, for our representative accompanied Mr. Hughes on one of these journeys. CARMEL LITERARY SOCIETY.—On Mon- day evening there was a generai meeting of the members of the Carmel C'.M. Literary So- ciety, presided over by Mr. Owen Evans. It was decided to appoint chairmen of the meet- ings during the winter to act each month, and several names were suggested Messrs. Os- wald Dorkins and J. J. Evans were appointed secretaries, and Mr. R. S. Parry treasurer. There is every promise of a very successful reason. THE CONSTITUTIONAL CLUB.—We learn on excellent authority that the Constitu- tional Club is to be revived after a period of anxiety to some member;. Although at one time it was contemplated to sell the property, we are now given to understand that this will not be done, and that under the new organ- isalton scheme the club will overcome any difficulties which it previously experienced. QUARREL AT A FAIR.—At the Bangor 'Police Court, on Tuesday, Hannah M. Ro- berts, wife of a Conway hawker, and a wo- men named Hannah Hughes were charged with disorderly conduct at Alber fair on the 1st October. A police constable stated that short- ly after 8.30 in the morning he heard shouting and screaming iu th3 village of Aber He pro- ceeded in that direction and saw the two wo- men in the middle of a large crowd quarrelling. They ran to meet the officer and commenced blaming one another. It appeared that there was some difference bet wee:1 them as to fixing up a stand for the sale of goods at the fair. The woman Roberts struck Mrs. Hughes acrosg the face and she retaliated in the presence of the officer. Mrs. Roberts told the magistrates that the reason she struck Mrs. Hughes was Wause she said that her father was a mur- derer. The magistrates bound both women over in the sum of Is each to be of good be- haviour for the next month, and pay the costs amounting to 7S. 6d. each. DEATH OF A RESIDENT.—It is with ex- treme regrrt that we have to record the death of Airs. Mary Hughes, widow of the late Mr. Edward Hughes, LIangoilen, and mother of our well-known townsman, lr. Wm. Hughes, chemis*, Castle-street. The deceased lady, who had reached the advanced age of 86 years, had resided with her son in Conway for the past ten years. She was of a retired disposi- tion, and was a lifelong Wesleyan. The funeral took place on Monday in the family grave at Meliden Churchyard. At the house at Con- way the service was conducted by the Rev. Tecwyn Evans, and there was a large attend- ance at the funeral. The chief mourners were Mr. Wm. Hughes (son), Messrs. Peter Hughes, Carnarvon, Peter Jones, W. Jones, and Isaac lnBb (nephews). Those who accompanied the cortege were Messrs. J. P. Griffiths, J. Hooson, t W. Hughes (solicitor!, II. Nevitt, R. Roberts (Liverpool) and Councillor Thos. Williams (Prestatyn). At Meliden the service was conducted by the Rev. D. Griffith. ALARM OF FIRE.—On Sunday evening, shortly after seven o'clock, the fire bell was rung with considerable force. Great excite- men prevailed in the different places of wor- ship, and as soon as the service was over the congregations rushed to the fire station, where it was ascertained that a fire had broken out at the residence of Dr. M. J. Morgan, in Rose- hill-street, but fortunately it had been ex- tinguished some time before the crowd had gathered round. It appears that Mrs. Mor- gan who was at home with her mother, noticed a strong smell of fire, and went up into a storeroom at the top of the house, and found a large basket full of waste paper and other articles ablaze. She rushed out and in- formed two men who were passing, and they in turn called at the Police Station. P.C. Owen; who was on duty, rushed down the street "no arrived in the nouse in time to check the further progress of the fire, which was spreading at a omewhat rapid rate. He was followed in the house by others, who carried out the burning basket. It was whilst this was being done that the fire bell was rung, and the local Fire Brigade turned out very smartlv, but their services were not required owin^' to the promptitude of the police con- stable, who at first had considerable difficulty in entering the room owing to the density of the smoke. Fortunately, very little damage was done, but had the fire escaped notice for another hour, there would undoubtedly have been a very serious conflagration. FIRE BRIGADE.—Orders for week ending October 24th, igio:-Station duty: Firemen Robert Williams and W. H. Jones, Probationers George Owen and T. Davies. Officer on duty, Lieut. Owen Williams.—F. A. DELAMOTTE, Chief Officer. ENGLISH WESLEYAN CHAPEL.—The harvest thanksgiving services were held at this chapel on Sunday, when the pastor, the Rev. W. Mellor, officiated. The chapel had been very prettily decorated, and there were good congregations. On Monday evening a very successful social was held in the schoolroom. PROPOSED HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. —A society has recently been formed, to be known as the Conway and District Horticul- tural Society, with a view to cultivating an improved knowledge of, and taste for, garden- ing, farming, bee-keeping, &c., and also the holding of an annual show. The secretarial duties are in the hands of Mr. W. E. Baugh, Woodlands, from whom all particulars can be obtained. BIBLE SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of the local branch of the British and Foreign Bible Society was held in the Baptist Chapel on Tuesday night, presided over by the Mayor (Councillor John Williams). The devotional part of the meeting was conducted by the Rev. J. Luther Thomas, after which Mr. J. P. Grif- fiths read the report of the Society. The I Mayor, in a short address, stated that he re- membered those meetings very much better at- tended, and urged them to secure a better at- tendance in future. The Rev. D. C. Edwards, deputation from the parent Society, delivered an effective address on the work of the So- ciety, and the Rev. D. Tecwyn Evans also spoke. Votes of thanks were accorded the chairman, the speakers, the collectors, Messrs J. P. Griffiths and David Jones, who had as- sisted in furthering the work of the Society. PERSONAL.—On Saturday, at Eastbourne, Mr. F. A. Delamotte, Borough Engineer, was elected a member of the Council of the Insti- tute of Municipal Engineers. IN SOUTH WALES.-The Rev. D. Tecwyn Evans, pastor of the Welsh Wesleyan Chapel, last night (Wednesday) took part in the anni- versary services of the Soar Congregational Church, Merthyr Tydvil, with the Rev. Thos. Nicholson, of London. Soar is one of the largest Congregational churches in Wales, and that a iWesleyan minister should be invited to preach at its anniversary is another sign that bigotry is dying away in Wales, and that Christian charity and goodwill are spreading. Mr. Evans is also officiating at Merthyr Tydfil to-day (Thursday). HARVEST FESTIVAL.—There was a gen- eral holiday at Conway yesterday (Wednes- day) on the occasion of the harvest thanks- giving services. The Nonconformists held united services throughout the day, until the evening, when services were held by the dif- ferent denominations in their own places of worship. Services were also held in the Parish Church, which had been beautifully decorated zy the following:—Chancel, Mrs. Roberts, Vicarage; pulpit, Mrs. Cross, Miss Aitken, and Miss Gruibb; screen, Mrs. Tom Hughes and Miss Deane font, Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Jackson windows, Miss Sarjant.

Williams, Mr. Johnson, Miss Aitken, Mrs. Gatty, Mrs. Bradbury, Mrs. Fred Jones, Mr. Herbert Jones, Rev. F. G. Jones, Miss Jones, Mrs. Cross, Miss Sarjant, Mr. Watkin Jones, Miss Melson, Mr. S. J.
