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.

LLANFAIRFECHAN. HARVEST FESTIVAL.—There was a gen- eral holiday at Llanfairfechan yesterday (Wednesday), on the occasion of the harvest thanksgiving services in the Nonconformist places of worship. There were good congre- gations at all the meetings. GLADSTONE LEAGUE.—The local group of the Gladstone League met in the Peniel Schoolroom on Friday evening, when a con- cert was held, the programme being sustained by local talent. Considerable amusement pre- vailed during a competition for an impromptu address on Suffragettes, and the prize was awarded, amidst cheers, to Mr. Owen. THE RAILWAY STATION.—One of the greatest improvements that can be effected at Llanfairfechan is that which is proceeding at the railway station, where a large gang of workmen are at work raising the platform considerably. Previously it was most inconvenient to alight from trains, and at times dangerous, several people hav- ing had some nasty falls.

GLAN CONWAY. NEGLECTING THE DIPPING ORDER.— At the Llanrwst Petty Sessions, on Monday, Robert Williams, Bwlch Farm, Glan Conway, was charged with neglecting to dip his sheep according to the Dipping Order. P.C. Williams stated that on the 6th September defendant came and asked him for a licence to remove sheep, and he (witness) replied that he thought he had no sheep, and that he could not give him a licence without first seeing the sheep dipped. Defendant then said he had dipped them on one of the last days in August. He asked why defendant had not given him notice, and defendant said he had been too busy with the hay. He again asked defendant about the dipping of the sheep, and defendant admitted he had not dipped them. They were dipped on the 7th September. A fine of 10s. and costs (17s. 6d. in all) was imposed. HARVEST FESTIVAL. Harvest Thanks- giving services will be held at the Parish Church on Monday. The first service will be at 7 p.m., and on Tuesday (St. Luke's Day) at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. in Welsh. On Tuesday, the Holy Eucharist will be celebrated at 8 a.m., Evensong at 3 p.m. The preacher will be the Rev. J. F. Reece, Llan- rhos. The Welsh preacher will be the Rev. John Davies, Rhvl, and the Rev. James Davies, Liver- pool. MUST BE WEIGHED.—At the Llanrwst Petty Sessions, on Monday, Price Hughes, grocer and baker, Glasfryn, Glan Conway, was charged with selling bread otherwise than by weight. Mr. J. Clarke Jones, Chief Inspec- tor under the County Council, prosecuted, and Mr. T. Latimer Jones defended. Douglas Wynne Griffith, Assistant Inspector of Weights and Measures, stated that on the 21st Septem- ber he called at defendant's shop at Glan Con- way and saw a young woman. He asked for a 21b. loaf, and she reached one from a table in the shop. He asked the price, and she said threepence, and he gave her the money. The loaf was not weighed, but at his request it was weighed, and it was lib. 130zs., or 30ZS. short of 2lbs. Cross-examined by Mr. Latimer Jones He would take the young woman to be 18 or 20. He saw no one else.—Mr. Jones ad- mitted there was a technical offence, but it was the child who served the loaf. She was onlv 14. Had the mother been present the bread would have been weighed. A fine of is. and costs was imposed.

ROEWEN. ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday of last week, Mr. John Owen, Glyn ucha', met with an acci- dent, which afterwards proved fatal. It seems that he was attending to an upright boiler, which was used for cutting chaff, &c., when he heard a small leakage into the fire. While he was bending down to locate the leakage, the boiler exploded, and he received the full force of the explosion in his face, the scalds and the shock proving fatal on Friday night. Much sympathy is felt in the district for the bereaved family, especially the widowed mother, who has lost an exemplary son. SYMPATHY.—At a Church meeting held at the Roev/en C.M. Chapel on Thursday votes of sympathy were passed with the following mem- bers of the church in their illness:—Mr. John Jones, Mount Pleasant; Miss Davies, Llwyn Onn Mrs. Roberts, late of Dolcrwn, and Mrs. Hughes, Tyddyn Bluan. WATER SUPPLY.—Mrs. Holland, Gell, sup- ported by Mr. Walter Lloyd, appeared before the Conway Rural District Council on Friday to present a petition in favour of getting a water supply for the village of Roewen and received a very sympathetic hearing. There is no doubt but that Mrs. Holland is doing ex- cellent work in this as well as in other capaci- ties, and it is a great pity that she was not better supported.

LLANDUDNO. I JURY'S ANIMATED PICTURES.—Large audiences are nightly seen at the Prince's Theatre, where Jury's splendid bioscope dis- plays some very fine living pictures. The pic- tures are changed on Mondays and Thursdays. PIER BIOSCOPE.—Like the proverbial brook, Hughes' Pier bioscope seems to go on for ever. The patronage is excellent, and the pictures better than ever. I IN PORTUGUESE WATERS.—Mr. Samuel Hughes, the secretary of the Pier Company, accompanied by his son, Mr. Samuel Hughes, and friends, have gone on a holiday, disquiet- ed Lisbon. being a port of call. THE LIBERAL CLUB.—The Llandudno Liberal Club Buildings Company, Limited, are recommended by their directors to declare a dividend of 4! per cent. for the year ended September 30th NORTH WALES ADVERTISING BOARD. —The first conference of secretaries of the affi- liated associations of the North Wales Advert- ising Board and Executive Committee is to be held in the Town Hall, on Tuesday, the 20th inst. END OF THE STEAMBOAT SEASON.— The decision of the Liverpool and North Wales Steamship Company to extend their season up to and including Monday last, was much ap- preciated by the public. It was the favourite steamer, St. Trillo," that did the service of trips to Carnarvon, calling at Beaumaris, Ban- gor, and Menai Bridge on certain days of the week, and shorter sea trips on others. It is gratifying to learn that the enterprise of the directors was a financial success, and it is hoped that the trips may be further extended next season. Gay with bunting, the St. Trillo" was taken on Monday evening by her highly esteemed and popular commander, Captain William Williams, to Birkenhead, after cordial handshakings and the best of luck and good wishes from the many friends who witnessed the departure. THE AMATEURS FOOTBALL CLUB.— On Saturday the Reserves meet the Holyhead Reserves on the Council Field in a Second Division match, whilst the senior journey to Blaenau Festiniog in the First Division of the competition. Both matches are of great in- terest to the club, and are stiff encounters. ENGLISH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH — On Sunday sermons were 'preached by the Rev. Dr. Porter, professor of Hebrew at Bala College, to large congregations. DEATH OF MR. B. R. DAINES. — The death took place on Saturday, at his residence in Upper Mostyn-street, of Mr. Benjamin Robert Daines, in his 80th year, after a short lilness 'ollowing an accident. Mr. Daines came to Llandudno in the year 1857, and was a pros- perous tradesman in those days, and by his death the last of old tradesmen of the town has disappeared. It is possible that he was the oldest English resident in the town. He was a man of ceaseless energy and peisever- ance, and was very fond of the town of his adoption, which he saw grow from a fishing hamlet to its present dimensions. He had several shops under his management in bygone days, and carried on a drapery business in Upper Mostyn-street at the time of his death. He was a great lover of horses, and many are they who remember the favourite mare, Kitty," which he delighted to ride in local races with great success. For many years Mr Daines was an auctioneer, and a member for some time of the old Board of Commissioners. He leaves a widow and eight children—five sons and three daughters—and twelve grand- children to mourn his loss, and it is singular to relate that Mr. Daines' death is the first to occur in the family. The funeral took place on Monday, at St. Tudtio's Churchyard, and was of a private character. The chief mourners were Messrs. John, Edward, Alfred, and James Daines (sons), MI. Reardon (son-in- law) and Master Harry Hutt (grandson), the latter of whom always used to accompany Mr. Daines to and from Conway Shore, where he used to engage in gardening. The Rector offi- ciated at the house and graveside. Wreaths were received 'rom members of the family and friends. CRICKET CLUB.—The annual meeting of the Llandudno Cricket Club was held on Mon- day night, at Clarence Hotel, Mr. A. Conolly presiding. The hon. secretary (Mr. E. P. Mor- ris) reported that the club had had the most successful season in its history. Lord Mostyn was re-elected president, and the folllowing appointments were made:—Captain, Mr. C. F. Farrington vice captain, Jr. C. N. Jones hon. treasurer, Mr. J. W. Gardiner; hon. sec- retaries, Messrs. E. P. Morris and J. R. Evans committee, Mr. A. Conolly, Mr. Howel Jones, the Rev. W. E. Jones, Mr. J. E. Hallmark, Mr. J. V. Humphreys, Mr. Goodman Jones, Mr. Chantrey, and Mr. A. N. Wills. HOCKEY.-Llandudno met with their first defeat on Saturday, losing to Ruabon by four goals to nil, Ruabon playing a strong, bust- ling game throughout. The home team (writes Spectator '") was in a way reorganised, C. N. Jones leaving his position at back to go cen- tre, and Griffith dropping to full back. Of the reshuffling opinion cannot be given at pre- sent, as neither player had an opportunity to show his prowess in his new position. Llan- dudno failed mainly through the weakness of the forwards against the Ruabon backs, and the feeble work of their own defence. Never- theless, personally I am looking forward to vast improvement in their play on Saturday, as Llandudno, to my mind, have a very cap- able team. The following players represented LIandudno Brocklehurst, goal Gordon Chantrey and M. K. Griffith, backs F. B. Reece, E. Parry, D. O. Davies, halves; Ll. Bone, G. Jones, C N. Jones, Price, E. Barlow, forwards.

HARVEST FESTIVAL.—Yesterday (Wed- nesday) harvest thanksgiving services were held in the Church of the Holy Trinity, which had been beautifully decorated by lady workers. The special preacher was the Rev. J. Alban, former curate-in-charge of the church. HOLIDAYING.—Mr. Thomas Wynne, the popular stationmaster, after a heavy season's work, is enjoying his well-earned holiday. BREAD-SELLING.—At the Llanrwst Petty Sessions, on Monday, Hugh William Hughes. Stanley Stores, Llandudno Junction, was charged with selling bread otherwise than by weight. Mr. J. Clarke Jones appeared for the prosecution. Douglas Wynne Griffith, an In- spector, said he met defendant's cart on the road to Glan Conway and asked for a 2lb. loaf. The man said he had 160 2lb. loaf, but he had a threepenny loaf. Witness got a loaf from him. He had no scale to weigh it, and the bread was sold by price, and not by weight. Defendant pleaded guilty to a technical offence. It was a case of negligence on the part of his man. It was the custom to sell bread by fixed price, and not by weight. A fine of is. and costs was inflicted. HARVEST FESTIVAL.—Efforts to have a united service of the Free Churches having failed, thanksgiving services were held in the various chapels yesterday (Wednesday) and were fairly well attended.

CAPEL GARMON. A COSTLY RABBIT.—At the Llanrwst Petty Sessions, on Monday, Evan Morris, Beudy Gwyn, Capel Garmon, was charged with trespassing in pursuit of conies on land in the occupation of Mr. Owen Jones, Pen- rhuddion Canol, Capel Garmon, on the 16th September. Mr. Lloyd Carter appeared for the prosecution. Robert Wood, rabbit catcher and game watcher on the Yoelas Estate, stated that he had set snares on a field at Penrhudd- ion Canol on the 15th September, and at 5.30 the next morning went to examine the snares, when he saw defendant with a rabbit in his hand coming from the direction of the snares. He asked defendant where he got the rabbit from, and defendant swore, and said he did not get it from their land. Witness eJttimined the rabbit, and could see it had been in a snare. He then went and examined his snares, and the morning being a very dewy one, there was a track of the defendant's footsteps going right from the place where he accosted him to the snares. He did not see him take the rab- bit. He was 10 or 12 yards away from de- fendant when he saw him. Evan Morris, the defendant, elected to give evidence on oath. He stated that he lived at Beudy Gwyn, and was coming from Bettws-y-Coed that morning, having started from there at 4.45. He came along the footpath leading past Ynys for Pen. rhyddion Pella, and by Ynys a rabbit ran into the wall and he caught it. He went on to Penrhvddion Pella, and in order to make a short cut left the path and crossed the field. He had seen Wood for some time coming from the top of the field, but he knew he was doing no wrong, otherwise he had plenty of chance to keep clear. When he met Wood the latter asked him where he got the rabbit from, and he replied Not from your land, but from Lord Penrhyn's land at Ynys." The Chairman said that to the majority of the Bench it was quite clear that he had taken the rabbit, and a fine of 20s. and costs, with an advocate's fee of one guinea, was imposed.
