The Secretary, in his report, stated that the number of players registered up to date was 429, and that he had done all in his power to induce junior olubs to enter the junior division of the League, but so far the prospects for forming the League were not very promising. LATE ARRIVALS. Conway were reported for being twelve minutes late in the Beaumaris fixture. Llanrwst were re- ported, for being 36 minutes late for their fixture with Denbigh. The explanations offered were regarded as satisfactory, and no fines were im- posed.

Denbigh being also fined 2s 6d for being late in their fixture with Holyhead. ° Two cases in which players had signed on for two clubs were dealt with, and after discussion slight, fines were inflicted. A protest was received from Holyhead against a decision of the referee, Mr A. Hughes, Llan- rwst, in their match with Blaenau Festiniog. A letter was also received from Mr Hughes in sup- port. of his decision The meeting decided to up- hold the referee's decision. The following transfers were confirmed :—Robt.

NORTH WALES AUTOMOBILE CLUB. CONSULTATION WITH ROAD AUTHORITIES. CARNARVONSHIRE COUNTY SURVEYOR S VIEWS. (From a "Pioneer" Reporter.) An important meeting of the Roads Committee of the North Wales Automobile Club was held on Friday, at Corwen, when there were present: —Mr J W. Wyatt, Cae Synamon, Carnarvon (chairman); Colonel O. Lloyd J. Evans, Broom Hall; Colonel Sandbach.Abergele, Major Turner, Flintshire; Mr H. R. Davies, Treborth; Mr S. T. Chadwick, Beaumaris; and Mr J. H. Burton, together with a number of the Road Surveyors of North Wales, who had been invited to attend and who had motored from the various counties for the purpoao. The ciuei business of the meeting waa to have a friendly discussion between the Club Committee and the Surveyors of Mains Roads upon various questions afteocing the cost, system ot repair, and other matters connected with the public roads in thoir relation to motoring. The Chairman gave figures showing that the roads of North Wales cost. in maintenance less than half those of the border English counties. He, however, recognised that as the rateable value and resources of the Welsh counties were so much below those of England, North Wales, according to her means, was doing good and effective work (applauso). He invited the atten- tion of the road surveyors however to a number of teohnical matters connected with road repair- ing, some of which he thought would not entail much additional expense. What the club de- sired more than anything else was the improve- mont. of distriot roads (hear, hoar). Waa it not possible to have more of these roads mained? Or was there any means by which the condition of those that formed important links between existing main roads oould be brought up to main road standard 'hear hear)? He invited dis- cussion on these points, and also in reference to the direction whioh the influence of tho club should tako on the tjuestions now occupying at- tention in highway circles, e.g., whether the roads should be made State roads as in Francs, arid financed and repaired by the Government, whether the existing authorities should be utilised as far 811 experience had shown them efficient for the repair of roads, with a Government grant to- wards the upkeep of main roads, as provided for in the Bill the Roads Improvement Association was now promoting (hear, hear). Mr H. R. Davies handed round copies of tho Bill, and a general discussion followed, from which it beoame evident thatr the feeling of tHe members was decidedly in favour of more main roads and for a grant out of national funds tor their maintenance. The Surveyors, while promising attention to such matters named by the Chairman aa came within their sphere, pointed out that several of those named by the Chairman devolved upon others. For instanoe, the lopping of trees and trimming of hedges in fences adjoining roads was the duty of owners or occupiers; the efficient renewing of pipe trenches devolved upon the gas water, or sewer authorities who made them; and that while motor cars wanted small metalling, motor lurries and traction engines needed large metalling on the same roads. Scarifying adopted as a system would largely increase the cost of road repairing. In proposing a vote of thanks to the committee who had invited them there, Mr Evan Evans, C.E., Carnarvon, the oounty surveyor, said that while motorists complained that the surface of the roads wore riot quite as smooth as billiard tables, road surveyors found to their worry and sorrow the unmistakable marks of motorists on the roads. Indeed in their moments of despon- dency they (tho surveyors) sometimes-asked them- selves what was the use of making smooth tho ways for people who motor-holed them and blew them asundor (laughter). They had seen their hosts of that day pass by with a whir and a oloud, and a smell, and had heard them execra- Hd-by those who did not possess motor can; (loud laughter). But when the surveyors came to know the motorists bettor they recognised them as a long headed race of people who had travelled faster and further than most people. Tho motor industry was already a. big one. and ho and his colleague,: recognised that the motor was going to remain on the roads whether those wiu posser-sed no motor iikod it or not (hear, 1 ear). And why should it not? The motor was the fastest thing yet discovered to do businolisi with on roads, to bring tho rural parts of tho country ir.to closer touch with the busy ccnires, to causo interchange of commodities between po- pulous (;ent.r0S and remote parts, in short. to create addition-ll trade (hear, hear). As they could not live without recreation, pleasure, and 1'c.¡;tJl, they should welcomo thLq now form of: amusement, this norvo bracing means of travel, this truly lieulth-giving mode of touring round the country. If, in doing 00, they did kill a few slow moving geese, an occasional dull stupid wayfarer in the way of pigs, what did it matter —providing, of cou'se, they paid for what they thus killed. Road si rvayors needed no convincing "that their roads were no" yet quite up to motor standard. Had they thought so their experience in motor- ing to Corwen that d'1." would soon havo con- vinced them thay were mistaken (laughter). Their far-seeing hosts, in giving them a free motor ride. had sa.id in effect:—"You, engineers, if you do not believe us, motorists, that your roads are lumpy and anything but smooth, come on our cars end we will shake you into that belief" (laughter). But t) show the motorists on the other hand that the County Councils, the guard- ians; of the public purses, were not altogether un- mindful of them, he would tell them what Car- narvonshire had done to meet their desires and needs during tihe short period that motors had been plying on the roads. There were about 250 cam and cycles registered in the county. These had cost their owners, say, £50,000, to purchase, and had contributed some J6500 to the county rates. The county, to meet the requirements of this traffic chiefly, had spent in various ways a sum of J35000 on 250 miles of roads. Irl other words, they had spent ten times as much as they had received directly from motor oars. If they took as typical the road through Beddgelert to Capei Curig, a length of 14 miles, they found the rainfall to be 120 inches a year. This heavy- rain- fall was a factor to contend with in the repair- ing of roads when oompared with the average rainfall of 40 inches in England. Let motorists bear this fact in mind when next they blessed tho road surveyor (laughter). That strip of road had been motor signalled at a cost of £10. By Portreuddyn they had reduced a hill in rock, and widened the metalled part at the corner at a cost of £30. A protruding rock at Aberglaslyn had been partly removed at a cost of £10. Bryny- felin bend had been eased at an expenditure of JE50. The narrow road and bend by the old mill, Beddgelert., had been widened at a cost of £20. The sharp oorners at Clogwyn Gysgfa and Peny- gwryd wero now being cut at an outlay of £25. Penygwryd Bridge had been strengthened for motor lurries at a cost of £50. The swampy foundations on the Penygwryd length had been drained a.t a cost of £25. The rocky protrusions in the surface had 'been blasted or removed at a oost of £30.. Those protrusions which, when journeyed over at 20 miles an hour or upwards, used to bump the occupants of the rear part of the car into the air whence they descended with blasphemy—(laughter)—in their hearts, if not on their lips, had now disappeared (hear, hear). Sideslips and skidding were to be counted femong tho evils which might be to some extent reduced by careful road repairing (hear, hear). The big rounded backs and the deep side ditches which the ancients had left as a heritage on all roads where they had money to spend, were due to mistaken, albeit pious notions. A road with a bog back and a side ditch large enough to carry a mountain torrent was, in olden times, oonsidered to be in model state. At the loss of some old fashioned friends, and the cost of acrimonious correspondence with others, and bearing with the best gra.ce he could being called some very ugly names, he had, at a cost of JB75 on this piece of road, filled up the haunches and sides, underdrained the water, and replaced the ditches with grass plots (hear, hear). Sideslips and ditch skids on this piece of road were largely things of the past (applause). They had, therefore, done some things which h9 thought merited some consideration (hoar, hear). Gratitude was, of oourse, a thing a pub- lic servant, especially in Walos, did not expect ("Oh Oh!"). It was a word they had sometimes hoard of, and found in the dictionary—that was all (laughter). The bread of gratitude was un- known to them — perhaps because they dealt so largely in stonoo. More, of course, could be; done and should be done to make the roads smooth and less dusty. At all events he could assure them that tho road engineers were pre- pared to do more—and he could venture to add his colleagues who were there that day were capable and competent to do all that was re- quired (applause). He feared, however, that, much oould not be dono until new funds wsre forth- coming (hear, hear). The traffic over the ma,in r<x\.ds was now much more than ever national traffic. Their maintenance should, therefore be a national charge (hear, hear). In the smaller counties, eispeciaJly those not thickly populated, thoro should^ba but one authority dealing direct- ly with the main roads, instead of as at present, a railway company here, a canal company there, a district, or urban, or borough council and a oount.y council, all dealing with the same class of road in the same, county. Motorists were people of influence, and he commended these two things to their united and energetic efforts national funds lIJ1d ono authority for all main roads in each county in Wales. Given this all else might well be left to tho County Councils and their surveyors (applause).

LLANDUDNO FIELD CLUB. GWRYCH CASTLE AND BRYNGWENALLT. On Saturday, at the invita-tion of the Abergele Antiquarian Association, the Llandudno Field Club visited Abergele. By permission of the Countess of Dundonald, president of the Aber- gele Antiq rarian Association, Gwrych Castle and grounds wore first visited. Old Gwryoh, now in the occupation of Mr Inglis, the estate agent, attracting interest as the early home of Mrs Hemans, the poetess. At Gwrych Castle there were evident signs of extensive preparations for next week's festivities in connection with the ooming of age of Lord Coohrane, eldest son of the Earl and Countess of Dundonald. The ascent of "Castoll Cawr" (the Giant's Castle) was next entered upon, the winding path through the beau- tiful wooded slopes of Gwrych making compara- tively easy what would otherwise have been a stiff climb for the lady members of the party. A descent was afterwards made to Bryngwenallt, the homo of Mr Herbert Roberts, M.P., who, together with Mrs Roberts, extended a warm welcome to the party. After an inspection of the gardens and a short .address from Mr Ro- berts, in which he drew attention to the Muo&- tive nature of the work done by the Sociotios, the party returned to Abergele, where tho visitors were entertained to tea at the new cafo lately presented to the townspeople by the Bryngwen- allt and Tanrallt families. Attention was after- wards drawn to the sucoessful excavations ro- oontly conducted by the Abergele Antiquarian Association at the early Celtic Hill Fortress on "Pen-y-Corddyn" under the guidance of Pr.jte.jor Boyd Dawkins and Mr Willoughby Gardiner.

THE CHURCHES. The Rev. Evan Jones, vicar of Llanfaircaer- einion, has accepted the living of Moid, recently offered him. The Rev. Robert Thoma3, Congregational minister, Barmouth, has received a call to the pastorate of Cemaes and Lianfochell Congrega- tional Churches, Anglesey. On Saturday night and throughout Sunday there were special servioe3 to mark the opening of a new English Presbyterian Church at Bag) lit. The special preachers on Sunday were the Revs. Dr. Griffiths, Holywell, and R. F. Crockett, Liv. erpool Rev. Gilbert Cunningham Joyce-, warden of St. Deiniol's Library, liawarck'ri, was in- efcalled. at St. Asaph Oatih&draj on Friday by iSean Pryoe. CHnon Joyce is sucoeecung the late Canon Griffith Jon-ea, of Marohwiel. It has been decided that the presentation by the parishioners of Wrexham to their late vicar (Canon Fletcher, now rector of Marchwie", a neighbouring parish), shall take the form of a portrait in oi 's and an address. The artist chosen its Mr J. Blake Wirgman, of London. The Rev. Job Miles is resigning the pastorate of Baker-street Welsh Congregational Church, Aberystwyth, after having held that office for an uninterrupted period of 35 years. The an- nouncement, was made to the congregation on Sunday night, and was received with much re- gret. The resignation will take effect at the end of the year, BANGOR CLERICAL AUGMENTATION FUND. The committee of this fund will shortly meet to allocate grants. Incumbents who desire to apply for grante are requested to write for ap- plication forms to the manager of Lloyds Bank, Bangor, not later t-han the first we-c k in Novem- ber. PRESENTATION TQ REV. DANIEL v DAVIES, DENBIGH. On Monday, under the presidency of the sen- ior churchwarden. Mr R. Humphreys Roberts, J.P., a largely attended meeting of Church- people of Denbigh waa held to take leave of the Rev. Daniel Davies, M.A., who is leaving for the Vicarage of Wrexham, after ten years' successful work in Denbigh. The farewell took the form of a presentation, towards which J3152 4b has been contributed, and after the purchase of a handsome sterling silver tray suitably inscribed, the balance was placed in a. purac. Testimony was borne by Colonel Mcsham, Mr J. P. Lewis, Mr John Davies, Mr C. Cot- tom, the town clerk (Mr Parry Jone6), and other parishioners to the great work of the retiring Rector, !by which the Church and schools, both Welsh and English Sunday Schools, were far in advance in numbers a.nd efficiency of any- thing they have ever been, whilst they have just, through his efforts, raised £ 1900 to .re- store the oid Church of Whitchurch, and build a Sunday School and Mission Hal,. The Rector, ,in a touching farewell address, alluded to the continuous sympathy and sup- port extended to hrim by a.U classes of Church- people, from whom he parted with great re- gret. BANGOR DIOCESAN BOARD OF EDUCA- TION. The Rev. J. C. Morrice, M.A., preaching at Bangor Cathedral, on Sunday morning, on behalf of the Diocesan Board of Education, said it had been established about 57 years ago, and the ob- jects of its work were two-fold. It provided a syllabus of religious instruction for the diocese, for both the day and the Sunday schools, and ex- amined such work; it also provided prizes and certificates on the results of the examinations. In order to do this work about J6250 a year were required, and of this sum J6150 were provided from two sources, therofore there remained for the diocese the sum of B100 a year to collect in order to carry on the work. That was a small sum when allocated throughout the diocese, a.nd if every Churchman gave a little share it would be scarcely felt at all, but the fact was that the Society had fallen short of this sum for many years past, and it had left them with an increas- ing debt. Unfortunately, the Society had lost through death a good many staunch supporters. The late Lord Penrhyn was a warm supporter of this Society, as indeed he was of every other diocesan society, and the late Mr Norria awakened interest in the study of Church history in the diocese by putting aside annually during his lifetime a sum of £ 5 to be devoted to prizes. With his death those prizes ceased, and the Society had waited in vain for someone to come forward to fill the gap. The Society, it was true, continued the prizes, because they realised that much good work was being done by the encour- agement of this important study of Church his- tory, especially amongst the young. The Society was a voluntary agency, dealing with Church children alone, and it deserved the support of every Churchman.
