Easter Cycling Manoeuvres. Colwyu Bayles in the Midlands. Tin; following account of the experiences of the: local volunteer cyclist detachment in the Mid- lands during Easter is interesting reading:- The Cyclist Co. of the 2nd V.B.R.W.F., under the command of Captain F. A. Dew and Lieut. Stanley W'ood-,leaving Hawarden at about 9 a.m. on Friday morning ran without halting and with- out any incident ito Etlesmere. Here a halt was called, jand a repast served to officers and men. After a rest of an. hour or so- the com- pany on ito Shrewsbury, arriving at about five o'clock, after an, .excellent- day ride over good roads and! in- .pleasant weather. This first day served rather to put the men in good condition 'than for} any practical work, and little was done beyond the making of an towards -the scene of action. From Shrewsbury, o-m Saturday morning, the company edvanced on to Bi'ic'gnorth in two sec- tions, the one section taking the -direct route through -Much, Wenlock, the other going by a more circuitous route through (Build-was. The two det-adhment's met at iBridgnorth, and com- paredi notes as to. the. sub labilities of the re- spective Iroutes li,G'r an advanced army, having taken careful observation by the way of all roads, badges, and circumstances of importance to an advancing army. After having taken dinner at Bridge-north all pushed on to Kidder- minster, and thence, after a short halt, to Wor- cester. Sunday was, made .an easy day for the majority who, riding through Tewkesbury, over one of the best roads in En-gland, arrived at Chelten- ham at aboi:Jt noon. The officers themselves wishing to learn 'the nature of the country and its possibilities between the iBristol 'Channel and London, rode from Tewkesbury to Winchcombe, thence 00 Stanway, and after spending the after- noon -in taking observations of the surrounding hills and! points of advantage, finally came down upon Cheltenham from Cleve Hill. From Cheltenham to Oxford-tocnt off 'the enemy's scouts marching to London or Bi.rminyham was made the opportunity of an interestiing competi- tion. Lieut. Wood rode first from Cheltenham to Oxford, and the men raced from -the cue. town to 'the other, starting at intervals of half an hour. The prize for Vbe cyclist who Tode 'the di. 'ance in the shortest time was won by Cyclist Davies, of Hawarden Company. In the evening :the men attended, a Glance, and were made much of. The foillow'ing day .saw the beginning of the return journey, 'a ride of about 5° miles, taking the company to Warwick. Andther competi- tion -en route added to the instructiveness of this journey, Cap't. Dew -offering a prize to the man- who made the 'best report of the road. The best of many 'good reports wa's adjudged to be that of Private 'H-ci-'kings, also of ;Haward,e'ii Company. The (next day was spent' riding from Warwick to -N-ewpo,rt, it-h-eince home. We ttear that the cyclists of the 2nd -V.B., R.W.P., have been favoured with almost ideal weaither for their Easter manoeuvres, azid that those who have taken part in -them have—contrary to what we believe to be the cuVtom in 'matters with which the War Office is concerDed-expressed them- selves as being imore t'h aai satisfied- with /all ar- rangements. We must confess that we our- selves have failed to understand the lack of enthusiasm which has been by our fellow-townsmen, cyclists -of Colwyn Bay attached to 'the battalion, which, we under- stand, are, except as regards officers, being poor- ly represented at the manoeuvres. In. at least one other division 'of North Wales cyclists on- To,l] ed, -them selves on purpose that they migtvi. be entitled to take part in the expedition. {Com.)

Daeth Mr Rob- erts yma yn agos i bedair blynedd yn ol, a bu ei gysylltiad a ni yn 11 n hapus a Uwyddianus iawn. Pan y daeth yma nid oedd- rhif yr p- lwys end. 41, a nifer y gwrandawyr yn 70, ond, yn awr mae yr aeio-dau yn 62, a'r gwrandawyx yn 164; ac mae pobpeth arall wedi gwneuJ cvnydd cyfatebol. Llywyddwyd, yn aosenold-eb Mr John Parry, blaenor hynaf yr eg'wys, gan Mr Henry Lloyd. Y cyntaf i siarad yd- :•; y Parch J. R. Jones, A.T.S., Caersalem.

Yna cafwyd gair ran Mr Hugh Robert., blaenor yn yr -eglwys. Gofidiai yn fawr eu bod yn colli eu gwemidog, a dywedai eu bod wedi cael llawer o Iwyddiant drwyddo, a'u bod yn disgwyl llawer o Iwyddiant i ddilyn ei jmdrech- ion yn y dyfcdol. Y nesaf oedd Mr Thomas Jones, aelod yn yi egilwys. Teimlai ef yn bur wahanol i'r hyn a wnai pan oedd yn righyfarfod sefydlu Jir Roberts, a thystiai gael bendith yn bet- sonol trwyddo.

Y peth nesaf cedd ilywydd gyflwyno an- erchiad rhagorol a hardd, wedi ei fframio yn ddestlus iawn.

Conway Horse Show. A RccordBreaking Exhibition. Two Thousand Spectators and an Unprecedented Entry. Erstwhile Champions Beaten. "Your blooming little island is steady-going enough, but your darned weather is one of the most slippy things in creation." Such wso the characneristicall}'-worded view of the vagaries of Britain's atmospheric conditions, as was ex- pressed by a well-known trans-Atlantic eorpin some time ago. Comparing the conditions' pre- vailing on Coed Friday with tihose which ob- tained on Easter Monday, we cannot help feeling the Yankee's remark 'was not altogether far- f-e'tchcd. Friday's balmy b-reeze and, spring- like freshness had given way on. Monday to a cutting north-westerly 'wind, as wintry in every way as anything experienced in December. Indee-d, the surrounding hillfcops were covered with snow. Th-e sun. shone fitfully, and -that is about all that can be- said) (favourably of the 'weaither-clerk's. work on Monday. It was under such adverse circumstances.then, that the- sixteenth. annual horse show was held at Conway; and -that we are able -to- record an eminently successful issue .to the Society's pre- parations is, due to something other than good weather. A reiCnrd wa" 'established in ffhe- number of entries, there "being an increase o.f twenty names in the schedule, while at the moment when the jumping -events took place there were nearly 2,000 people on the ground, who hadi paid their gate money. Of the many innovations introduced this year by the executive, there wasi none- more judicious than the change or scene. Hiliherto, to reach the sho!w-ground meant a weary trudge over half-a-mile of the Morfa, but on this: occasion the situation 'was. buit the other sidle of the boundaTy-wall near the workhouse, and from, all points of view the change was a commendable one. The secretariat was in other hands. In the plaice of Mr Robert Davie's' (who has for many years rendered, yeoman 'service to the show), Mr Llewelyn, Jones, chemist, Lancaster-square, figured; and, to say the feast of it, the gentleman has .lacked nothing of the former's energy and enterprise, aSI is evidenced, by un- deniable results. Early aind late Mr Jone's has failthfully (ituck tohis charge, and if he continues to' do likewise there is 1-io. knowing what the future has in store for the irisljitution. The secretary was admirably supported! by Mr Isaac Parry. The other officials were: Mr George Barker. Llandudno, president; Mr Robert Ellis, Bryny- p- vice-president; 0.Ir G. O. Joneo, J.P., Merchlyn, icihaixman' of the committee -ill" 0. Rowland, J.P., N.P. Bank, ConwaiYi treasurer; Mr W. J. Bushnell Con -vay, hen. veterinau'y surgeon. The judges were:—Heavy horses: Mr Char- nock, Hale, Liverpool, and Mr Peter Davies, Warburton. Light horses: Mr Griffiiih Jones, Nyffryn, Pwllheli, and Mr Thomas Morrell, ITellaby Hall, near Rotherham. Jumping com- peti'tiion: The President, Lord iMostyn, Cant. Wall, Mr Jameo Porter (Mayor of Conway), Mr Griffith Jones, ancli Mr Thomas Morrell. Pony races: The President. Champions Beaten- Speaking generally, there was a marked im- provement in the quality of animals exhibited, the heavy-classes being perhaps slightly superior to thosed the lighter. As Will be seen from the appended list, Mr John Lewis, of Trws't Llewelyn, Gar'thmyl, iMon-t., again carried away the £ 50 and silver medal, presented. by the Horse S-occety, for the best 'shire stallion to walk the cistrict. Though not so many in number ai" last year the anima-lis- shown in thi's class weire of a deicidedly superior character'—taken as a whole—to any seen, at this show for many years. Aldington II., the prize-winner, is a remarkably fine bay horse of eleven years üld. In point of size, weight, le'gs, feet, action, and' general appear- ance it is, an animal calculated to, fill the re- quirements of the -district to a nicety. The same exhibitor took second place with his "Severn Viceroy," a black-three-year-old, of at- tractive proportions and -good bearing. The entries in the agricultural 'team class were not so numerous one1 would: like to see t.hein, but the pair which won first prize for Messrs J. and Jeffrey Foulkes, Heaidra, Junction, Conway, were all worthy of 'their place. In KHend-re Duchess" and "Desford Virgin," the winners in classcis four and nine respectively, Mr W. Parry Jones, T'he Gop ,Farm, Newrnarket, Rhudidlo,ii, has- a couple of rare a.nimals. The former Itook the lead over Mr/Thomas Jones's (Talycafn) "Queen"—last ydar's cham,picl,-)-in the- class for the best agricultural in-foal mare or foal at foot, after an exceptionally keen con- test, and also secured the-silver medal, presenited by the Shire Horse Society, for the best mare^cr filly, entered or eligible for entiry in tihe Shire Horse Stud Book. "Ilendre Duchess" is an aged chef-nut mare, 'well-known to all attendants of local horse shows, while "Desford Virgin" is a black tbree-yea'r-old of singularly attractive build. ''Flower," the winner in the filly class, by "Boxted Flag," is a very promising bay of eleven months old-, the property of Mr Thomas Jones, Garth. Farm, Talycafn. A neither -notable entrant from, the Iame district was that elhown by 'Mr Robert Ellis, of IBrynvpin (the vice- president), in the class for geldings of any age, a'nd open to- a radius of 20 males- c.f Conway. "Mr W. Glynne, .of T.ydiate, near Chester, took with ease first and second place in settion for the bet-t m.ar-e .or .gelding of_K hands and over, to be shown. under saddle, with two very fine 'bay mares. In the lighlt classes there, w:ere several ex- cellent contest's, and that between "Queen-go- Bang" and a brown seven-year-old, the property of Mr T. R- Evans, 11, Dale-street, Liverpool, was undoubtedly the keenest. "Queen-go- Bang" is owned by 'Mr G. E. I- ranklin, The Field, Ormaston-road, Derby, a chesnut ihare, which has swept the boards at, Loin,dtan, Dublin, and other popular eyibi-bition-, in the country. Considerable difficulty was experienced by the judges, but eventually awarded in favour of the Liverpo.ol mare. Tit ir., in-teiresting to note thrit the 'second prixe-winnen" is by "Calesar," one o.f titre many well-known animals1 owned by Mr John Jones, Lla.ndud'no. I Another exceptional exhibit in light classes was "Princess Royal," ,the beautiful two- year-old chesnut which took prize for the Hon. lrs Ward, Old Colwyn, in ihe tlassi for mare or gelding under three-year-old. There were many fanciers inclined (Jo the opinion that she was the finedt animal in the whole show. The mountain pony class was very popular, but the quality was not all that could be do-ired. Mr T. J. Owen, Avallon, Abbey-roadi, Llandud- no, beat all comers with "Lady Orme," a bay of four years old. The jumping competitions were eagerly watched, and the clean, graceful work of the winner, "Ilard'cash,"—which, if we mistake not, took firis,t prize last year also in fheopen event—- was greeted with loud applause. Mr Arthur W. Jones, of Plashen, Gaerwen, had an excellent second in this class' with "Brown Gel." In the class confined 'to North Wales, the latter won easily. As usual, the pony races were also very popu- lar, and "Mayflower's"' success in the first race w?f) cheered 'to the echo. Li'tkie Sidney Glutton rod-e, as a master eif course. The Conway Brass'Band played selections on. the field during the day. Mr Fred. Jones, Bangor-road, catered for the President's luncheon in good style. Appended is The Prize List.
