Mr and Mrs Laurence Brodrick most generously arranged a garden fete in the grounds of their beautiful country seat, Coed Coch, on Friday, Happily, the weather was favourable, and thanks to the excellent arrangements made fur the convev- fcnee of visitors from Abergcie, Colwyn Bay, and Old Colwyn, there was a large an 1 fashionable gathering in attendance, including the Countess of Dunchmald Lady Grisel Hamilton Ladv Jean Cochrane, Mr Robin Coch- rane Mrs Aitken, Bodelwyddan; Col. and Mrs Mcllor, Abergele; Mt Jones-Alortiuier, Brynsteddfod; Oapt.

Lodwiek Ellis. Bettws. Rev. Robert. Edwards, Trofarth Rev. 15. Thomas, Llanddulas; and Mrs aud Miss Croifieldj Colwvn Bay. There was no formal opening ceremony, but at three O'clock business commenced with a vigour that augured *rcl! for the financial success of the proceedings. A number of stalls had been fitted up with artistic Skill, and their contents were displayed to the best possible advantage, Mrs Brodrick being assisted in this Hfc'iiieetion by a number of ladies and gentlemen who entered into their work with commendable zeal and XI-ttttw-;iasrn. The general effect was heightened by the delightful surroundings of the" mart." THE STALLHOLDERS. The following ia the list of stal.lholders'- tfaucy Stall.-Misses Oldfieid, Farm, BdtW8; Miss Ewer, do. Clothes Stall.—Mr3 Ellis, Bettws Vicarage Miss Ellis, do. China and Glass Stall.—Hon.

Parcels' Tent.—Mrs Davids.ui and Miss Stephens. OTHER ATTRACTIONS. There were many attractions other than the stalls, but none so great as the beautiful gardens and grounds. The gardens might possibly have looked bet- ter two months ago, nevertheless the wealth of flora and foliage, and the charming manner in which the designs had been carried out, presented a picture of euch beauty that those who had journeyed long dis- tances to patronise the fete must have felt abundantly recompensed by the privilege of witnessing the spec- tacle. The rose garden had apparently suffered lass from the heat of the sun than most gardens in the vicinity at all events the blooms were firm, well- grown, and of excellent colours. No less striking was the kitchen garden, with its rich crops of fruit and Tegetables. Boating on the lake was a popular pastime, and the 'excellent music provided by the Old Colwyn Silver Band. under Mr Hezekiah Jetties enhanced much the pleasure of the rowers. Two very ruecessful concerts were given in the spacious drawing-room by the Llanelian Church Choir, *mose singing reflected great credit upon the iDoaductcr and the members. fiencraUr speaking, the fete WM a splendid success.

WELSH BLACK CATTLE SOCIETY. ANNUAL MEETING. The annual general meeting of the Welsh Black Cattle Society was hold yesterday week, at Aberystwyth. Mr G. Bovill, Bettwsycoed, presided over a good attendance, representative of North and South Wales. The Secretary (Mr James Thomas) presented a financial statement for the past year, which showed that the Society had a credit balance of J6242 10s. On the proposition of Professor Winter, it was decided to congratulate Lord St. Davids upon his elevation to the peerage. Lord Kenington was appointed to follow Sir Georgo Meyrick a.3 president. It was stated that his lordship started a black cattle herd two years ago. Mr R. M. Greaves moved that no members of the Judges' Selection Committee be chosen as judges. What they wanted on the Selection Committee were good judges of men and not good judges of cattle (laughter). The proposition was carried with two dissentients. The committee was then appointed as follows:—Professor Win- ter and Mr Jones (Worn) to represent North Wales, and Messrs J. W. Harris, Carmarthen- shire, and J. R. Thomas, Bwlchygwynt, to re- present South Wales. In discussing at what shows in 1909 prizes should be offered, a proposition was made to grant L40 to the next Royal Show at Gloucester. Mr T. Roberts, Aber, did not think they should give all their money to the Royal. They should give more to the Welsh National Show, which was increasing in favour, and brought together stock which was a treat to look at. Professor Winter said he wished to do all he could to help the Welsh National Show, but it was at the Royal that they got the foreigners, and they would never make much of their Welsh cattle until they could command a certain amount of foreign trade. 14 was decided to grant B40 to the Royal Show, and to express a strong hope that tho Society would give three prizes in each of the five Welsh black classes. It was fur- ther agreed to devote J312 in awarding twelve silver medals at the following shows next year: Welsh National, Anglesey and Carnarvon, United Counties, Haverfordwest, and North Pembroke. The Merioneth agricultural So- ciety having refused to make the competition for this Society's medal an open one, it was de- cided to withdraw tho modal tor the present year, and to grant the medal next year to the Pwllheli show. iThe report of the committee dealing with Professor Winter's scheme of challenge cups for herds was presented. Professor Winter said he was sorry that there were only three entries from South Wales and none from North Wales. But he was not downhearted. No doubt t.he rules drawn up were too stringent, and he pro- posed that the committee be empowered to re- lax them for tha coming year. This was sec- onded, and unanimously agreed to. It was decided that the entries tor volume 3 of the Herd-book should close on December 1,1909, the conditions of entry to be the same as those for volume 2. It was also decided that it be a rule that the pedigrees of both parents be en- tered in subsequent Herd-books. Profe.-aor Winter moved that a memorial be sent to the President of the Board of Agriculture, statins that. in the in.terest.s of the health of the live stook of this country, it was necessary that the restrictions at present in force upon the importation of foreign live stock be not relaxed. Mr Scour field, of YYhitland, thought the So- ciety should make its veice heard on the ques- tion of the future location of the. Welsh National Show. While not opposed in any way to Aber- ystwyth, he thought if the show was to be a really national one it should be movable, and should visit such places as Swansea, Cardiff, and Wrexham. No resolution waj; passed on tho mat f e r.

WELSH FLOCK BOOK SOCIETY. A meeting of the Welsh Sheep Flock Book Society was held at the showyard of the Welsh National Show at Aberystwyth yesterday week. Mr Owen Price, Nantyrharn, Brecon, was voted to the chair. The Chairman complained that most of the meetings of the Society were being held in North Wales, and said that if the meetings were not held in more convenient, oentre3 tne South Wales members would have to i»tire. Ho also protested against tho action of the Socjety in appointing six persons from North Wales as judges of Welsh sheep, and only one from South Wale3. Mr Conwy Bell, Rhuddlan, said that the Society would only be too pleased to arrange its meeting to suit the South Wales members if Mr Price would guarantee that they would at- tend. It was decided that future meetings be held at Shrewsbury. In the course of further discussion Mr Conwy Bell urged the importance of the registration of Welsh sheep. Without it, he said, they could not hope to make progress. Professor Winter, Bangor, said that within the last three months he had had an inquiry for Welsh sheep from America, but the- abso- lutely refused to buy sheep that wore not from a registered dam. On the motion of Professor Winter, second- ed by Mr R. N. Jones, Corwen, it was agreed that the entries for the next volume of athe Flock Book should close on January 1st, 1909, and that it be a condition of entry that all sheep should be "tagged."

Mr Isaac Batho reminded the Board' that the committee did not consider that tho pre- sent arrangements should be altered. Mr Batfio went on to explain, that the children were marched into the dining-room separately, and had their meals in the centre of the room, whilst the adults were seated round on the outside. The children did not come into contact with the adults, and while in the room they were under plenty of official supervision. The Inspector might not have seen the matter in thai light.

ST. ASAPH (Flint) RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. There waa very little business of public interest transacted at the monthly meeting of this body, which was held on Friday, at the St. Asaph Workhouse. There were present -—Messrs Ed. Williams (chairman),' W. Morris (vice-chairman), W. S. R;;b?rU, J. Lothian, LI. B. Evans, Ed. Morgan, John Jones, Waen, and G. Williams, with the Clerk (Mr Chas Grimeley'i, the Medical Officer of Health (Dr Lloyd R-oberts), the Sur- veyor (Mr John Llovd), and the Saaitarv Inspector (Mr E. U. Evans}. RHYLLON IMPROVEMENT. It was reported that the interested owners had grunted permission for the execution of the proposed road improvement at llhyllon, which involves the re- moval of a dangerous corner, and widening of the road. It was decided to invite tenders for the construc- tion of a stone wall and fence. ROADMEN AND THEIR WAGES. It was decided to increase the wages of nine road- men from 16s to lqs per week, and to continue pay- ing 168 to the remaining five, who are elderly men. A proposition was made to reduce the wages of the lat- ter, but it met with no support, some of the men hav- ing been 20 years in the service of the Road Authority. NEW TELEGRAPH LINE. The Postal Authorities intimated that they shortly intended laying a new telegraph lino from Bodfari to Tremeirchion, and would oamplv with the require- ment of the Council, namely, b placc tl:, poles in spots which would least interfere with traffic.

HOLYWELL RURAL COUNCIL AND THE DEE NAVIGATION. At Friday's meeting of the Holywefl Rural District Council there was an interesting d; cushion regarding the Dee navigation scheme. Mr T. Humphreys, who attended tho confer- ence at Chester, said he thought the work 0.£ deepening the river should be commenced at Mostyn Deep, so as to allow ocean-going vsteels to go right up the tfiver, from end to end. llo thoroughly evmcathLsod with the scheme, but he wanted to tee it carried through in its en- t'iretv. Mr J. Pefcrie hoped when the scheme iteelf wta before the Council they would support it, because if the w-lu-me was carried out it would be the making of Fiintehire (hear, hear). He did not see why £ 400,000 need frighten the county (hoar. hear). Mr Humphrey., said it would not only be the making of Flintshire, but tho whole of North Wales (hear, hear). Mr H. Powell said they ought not to be afraid of the penny rate; they ought to pay it gladly. There were on the banks of the river 80 collier- ies. That Counoil would benefit by tho scheme more than any part of Flintshire, and he thought they should 3UDDOrt it to their utmost.

Having commenced his reign at the age of eleven, Richard found himself at the age of twenty-one still in the leading strings of his uncles the Dukes of Lancaster and Gloucester. He made several ineffective attempts to obtain the power to govern his kingdom, but his Grace of Gloucester, with 40,000 men to back him, enforced his arguments, with the result that the King's supporters were impeached and executed to a man, and the King was obliged to appoint a Government composed of fourteen nobles, with the Duke of Gloucester as president.
