Cynnaliwyd cynnadledd yn Mhafilon Caernarfon, I ddydd Sad wrn, er ystyried pa gamrd U pelIaeh dely hll gymeryd yn nglyn ag achos Chatham-street. Yr oedd rhwng dau a tbri chant o Fethodistiaid llevgol yn bresennol, a llywyddid gan Air W. Gladys Wil- liams, Waunfawr. Eglurwyd yr achos gan Mr R. 0. Williams, Ler- pwI, a dilynwvd ef gan Mr R. J. Williams, Bootle, yr hwn a ddywedodd na wyddai pa un a roddai y Gymdeithasfa y tystiolaethau y gofynid am danynt a'i peidio. Credai mai y peth goreu allent wneyd «edd;agelio at y Gymdeithasfa trwy gyfrwng deiseb wedi ei llawnodi gan nifer pur lluosog o'r aelodau yn ceisio ganddynt roddi i'r Parch. W. O. Jones yr hyn a ofynai. Y peth ddylid wneyd oedd dylan- wadu ar y wlad, ac anfon i'r Sasiwn ddeiseb wedi ei harwyddogan 5000 neufwy o Fethodistiaid. Byddai raid iddynt gymeryd rhyw sylw o hyny, ac efallai y caent yr hyn a ddymunent. Gofynodd Mr Owen Morris, bargyfreithiwr, i'r aelodau o'r wlad siarad fel y gallent gael barn y cyfarfod ar y mater. Pe byddai iddynt awgrymu rbyw gwrs cyffelyb i'r hyn a wnaed gan gyieillion Lerpwl. efallai y gallant ddwyn pethau i drefn, Byddai raid i'r apel at a Sasiwn fod yn un resymol a chyfreithiol. Byddai Lerpwl yn barod iawn i gynnorthwyo eu cyfeillion yn y wlad. Gofynai Mr O. J. Jones beth ddylid wneud yn Jrardaloedd hyny lie yr ofnid y codai terfysg. Mr Thomas Mewn achosion felly, yr wyf yn c,re^u mai'r ffordd oreu fyddai i ddau gyfaill fyned «rddeiseb oamgylch yr arllal, ond byddai gymaint egiwyiiyn gryfach Pe ddysid yddeiseb drwy yr vJPuiodd y Cadeirydd ar i bawb ond Methodist- iaid .beidio cyiuervd rhan yn y ddadl, a pheidio pleidleisio. Awgrymodd Mr Owen Moreis, Lerpwl, y priodol- deb o benodi pwyllgor bychan i gario allan yr hyn a Symeradwyid," gan y credal mal dyna y fforcldl oreu i ddwyn y mater i bwynt. Cafwydychydig drallerth pan ddaethpwyd at y gwaith o enwi pwyllgor, ac o'r diwedd, codocld Mr Benjamin Williams. Waenfawr, ar ei draed, a dy- wedodd mai gwell fyddai peidio enwi yr adeg hono, ,Orid penderfynu fod i'r pwyllgor a alwodd y gyti- hadledd yn nghyd i barhau, fel y gallent fod yn Ilwyddianus. Yr oedd y cyfeillion yn Lerpwl wedi gwneud yn llygaid eu lie. Eiliwyd hyn gan Mr Evan Evans, Waenfawr, yr hwn a ddywedodd y byddai yn anhawdd penodi pwyllgor cvnrychioladol mewn cynadledd mor luosog ag oeddhon. Cariwyd hyn yn unfrydol. a phenderfynodd y pwyllgor gyfarfod ddytfd Sadwrn, yn Ngbaernar- fon. Y CYFARFOD CYHOEDDUS. Daeth rjrwng 6,000 a 7,000'o bobl i'r cyfarfod cyhoeddus a gynhaliwyd yn yr hwyr, a ihoddwyd i Mr W. O. Jones dderbyniad gwresog dros ben. Llywyddwyd gan Mr Griffith Hughes, Llanberis, yr hwn, yn ei araeth agoriadol; a ddywedodd fod llawer o ddyfalu beth oedd amcan y mudiad yma, ac i'r gofyniad yr oedd llawer o atebion. Dywedai rhai mai eu bamcan oedd dylorni a difrio gweini- dogion y cyfundeb, rbanu'r eglwysi, a dinystrio y cyfundeb. Dywedid mai terfysgwyr oedd wrth wraidd y cyfan, ac mai eu bamcan oedd dwyn bywyd crefyddol llac a diasgwrn-cefn i'r eglwysi. Dywedai eraill mai eu hamcan oedd gwyngalchu y Parch W. O. J ones—-dyn oedd wedi ei gad yn euog. Gwyddai pawb mai nid dyfod yno darfu iddynt i ddweyd pa un a oedd y gwr parchedig yri euog ai nad oedd. Nis gallent hwy farnu hyny ar hyn o ™Td, oherwydd yr oeddynt yn nghanol tywyllwch. Ju wyddent beth oedd y cyhuddiadau na'r tystiol- aethau. Yr hyn yr oeddynt hwy yn awyddus i'w gael oedd rhagor o oleuni ar y dirgelwch. Ym- ffrostiai Prydain Fawr yn nhegwch ei deddfau, ac yn mhurdeb ei llysoedd, ac vn y ffaitli fod gan bob dyn berffaith hawl i amddiffyn ei hun. Rhoddid pob cymorth iddo befyd i amddiffyn ei hun yn y modd goreu. A oedd llysoedd uwch teyrnas y Gwaredwr i wrtbod yr un chwareu teg, ac i wrthocl y manteision hyn i ddyn a gynuddid o dori y deddfau ? Nid oedd gan yr enwad ddim i'w enill drwy iselhau safon dysgyblaeth chwaith, ond yr oeddynt yn dymuno ar fod i bob aelod gael chwareu teg cyn son am ei ddysgyblu. Nid eu hamcan oedd terfysgu yr eglwysi chwaith. Y bobl oeddynt yn cadw pethau yn nghudd oedd yn gwneyd hyny. Dyna oedd gwendid mawry Corph. y I Cynygiodd Mr W. Gadlys Williams y penderiyn- isid canlynol:—Fod y cyfarfod hwn, cynwysedig gan mwyaf o Fetlioclistiaici Cymreig, yn gwrth- dystio yn erbyn gwaith Cyfarfod Misol Lerpwl, yn gomedd caniatau i'r Parch W.

Football. ABERQSTWYTH v. U.C.W. These teams met under favourable conditions on Saturday last at the Vicarage Field, before a fair attendance of spectators. College were strongly represented, but Town commenced play with only ten men, a substitute being .secureel later. College immediately took up the aggressive, and within two minutes of the start scored through F. P. Jones from a scrummage in the goal mouth. Even play ensued for the next 15 minutes, after which the Town forwards showed a remarkable awakening, and fairly overran the opposing. T llees scored twice in quick succession, V. Jones landed a fine goal from the quarter flag, and the fourth was placed by Oswald James. At half time Town were leading by four goals to one. College made a better show during the second half, although mainly on the defensive. Barson scored another goal for the Town, and just before time Allsop put on another for the College. Final score—Town live goals College, two goals. Referee, Mr J. C. Rea. MACHYNLLETH v. SINGLETON & COLES. On Saturday last the Machynlleth team journeyed to Shrewsbury to play Singleton and Coles in the semi-iinal round for the Welsh Junior Cup. They took up a strong representation, and were ac- companied by a good number of supporters. The match was predictad a safe win for the homesters, but the representatives of Maglona went up with a determination to give a good account of themselves. The first half throughout was pretty even, both sides exhibiting good foot-ball, and when half-time arrived nothiW bad been scored either way. On resuming, the homesters played for all they were i worth, and kept up a terrific bombardment on their opponents goal. The Machynlleth backs, how- ever, shone brilliantly in defence, and they presented an implacable front to the repeated attacks made on their citadel. This aggressive attitude was kept up for the greater part of the second half, and shots were sent in thick and fast, and it is marvellous how all were stopped. The pre .sure was relieved toward the end, and Mach- ynlletb eventually emerged with a clean sheet, the game ending in a pointless draw. The teams will again fight for supremacy on Saturday next, tbe venue this time being at Machynlleth. LAMPETER TOWN V U.C.W., ABERYSTWYTH This, tbe second and last, of the encounters arranged between these teams, was decided on the S.D.C.S. enclosure, Lampeter, on Wednesday after- noon of last week, and despite the coldness of the weather, a large concourse assembled. Earlier in the season, when the two clubs struggled for supremacy at Aberystwyth, the Lampeterians had to suffer a six pointed defeat after a hard contested game, and in the present encounter their supporters anticipated a close match. Nor were they dis- appointed for their favourites, although Vanguished played valiantly and made the invincible Aberyst- wythians tight every inch of ground. Punctually to the advertised time the teams faced each other, the players being as follows:—Lampeter, back, Phil Jones; three quarters, D. Lewis, A. S. Jones, Anthony and J. Lovell; halves, E. P. Thomas, and W. Gritliths; forwards, D. J. Davies (capt-), J. F. A. Thomas, J. Close, E. 1. Davies, D. Evans, D. L. Jenkins, D. Jones, and D. Roberts. U.C.W., Aber- ystwyth, back, Steer three quarters, Allen, W. G.; Williams, E. D. Evans (capt), and W. D. Thomas, halves, H. H. Williams and Audbrey Roberts forwards, D. S. Jenkins, E. A. Evans, M. Davies: Parkes, Walters, J. Edwards, E. J. Price and S. Smith. Referee, Mr J. S. Jones, W.F.U. Lampeter. Aberystwyth commenced operations towardstlie town end, and for a time neutral territory became the venue. Rushing a scrum, Lampeter, at the the outset pressed, and then the leather reaching Steer, he, with an admirable judged punt, sent it over the equatorial line, the visiting forwards mullifying a return. A succession of scrummages ensued in the Lampeter half, and the visiting vanguard rushing 4own almost scored. Alcwyn Jones at the critical period pluckily stopping the chatge and relieving to mid-field. Here the ball was telung across to Anthony who raced a few yards and transferred to Lovell, the latter unfortunately mulling. More gruelling work followed in mid?tield, and the visiting forwards with a superb rush, invaded the home territory, Parkes and A. E. Evans being prominent. Eddie Evans punted down and the ball dapping awkwardly for the home custodian. Archie" Williams dashed up and scored, the shot failing. Undaunted by this early reverse the homesters forced the pace, the defensive powers of their opponents being taxed to the utmost. Slowly, but surely, the Collegians caused the Lampeter men to assume the defensive and soon positioned themselves near the rubicon, and a loose rush culminated in Jenkins notching a try, Eddie Evans successfully pushing the oval above the bar. Dropping out the homesters rushed into the Aberystwyth 25, and for a considerable time play waged hotly here. Exchange of punts favoured the visitors, Eddie Evans finding touch inside the Lampeter ground. A bombardment of tbe home citadel was the next feature seen, "Archie" Williams smartly planting near the ruprights after clearing all opposition. The visiting skipper easily negotiated. From this to the interval the game fluctuated, and when the loot" sounded the score reac|:— G. T. M. U.C.W. 2 1 0 0 0 0 Changing ends, Lampeter resumed. A punting exhibition was engaged in by the custodians, the result being that the Neath man gained much turf for his side. Scrums and throws out occupied the next ten minutes. Wheeling a scrum the Lampeterians footed the objective dangerously near the Aberystwyth line, "Archie" Williams securing his snje in this time of jeopardy. An irregularity by thENvi-siting halves saw them penaliaed, Alewyn Jones booking to near the line. In a magnificent fashion the visitors relieved the pressure, I Eddie Evans racing to the centre. A passing bout initiated by the visiting scrum- workers would have proved effective had not Alcwyn Jones intercepted and punted to touch with an irresistable rush the- visitors crossed, Dan Lewis spoiling their efforts by kicking out of bounds. Quickly play hovered around the visitors' goal, and the homesters going over, a minor was the outcome. In a rare business-like manner the homesters made things warm for their opponents, and near the line a "free "being awarded them, E. P. Thomas, who was entrusted with the kick, landed the only points scored against the Aberystwy hians this season. Things after this ruled in favour of the homesters, only erratic/passing preventing them from scoring. With a combined forward movement the visitors, raised the siege, but again the home- sters attacked and continued to hold sway until the final blast announced the cessation of the fray. FINAL SCORE. G. T. M. U.C.W 2 1 1 Lampeter *1 0 2 1 ^Penalty. REMARKS. From a spectator's standpoint, the game was un- interesting, a scramble for possession being the chief ciiaraett-rili ics of it, relieved only by a few brilliant bursts. The superiority of the visitors was. unquestionable, although the homesters played a valiant game. What the homesters lacked was combination, and in this department the men from the northern town excelled. Individualism, then, was the weak feature of the homesters,ar.d perhaps this hint, given for their beiicilt, will a beneficial effect upon them in the nerd matches in which they will participate. Considering ,that Lampeter made absolutely no ♦preparation, their ice exceeded the ni'-st:sanguiiie expecta- tions of their supporters, aad impressed the fact upon all that with a little judicious training the Lampeter team would mark itself as one not to be dispised in this part of the country Dealing with the playei-s individually, Steer, Eddie Evans, and Archie Williams are players who should in the near future establish for t hernselves a reputation in first-class company. Williams and Evans, in par- ticular, were exceptionally brilliant. The pack, too, deserves all the ecomiums which it received. Turning to the Lampeter team, of a hard-working and untiring eight, D. L. Jenkins was the pick, although each one of the front rankers played excellently. Alcwyn Jones and E. P. Thomas were the shining lights of the backs. Throughout the match not a single accident or an un-toward incident occurred, and another exhibition between these rivals will be looked forward to with pleasure.

ABERAYRON. THE BRITISH SCHOOL.—Mr J. R. Davies, head- master of the British school, is to be congratulated on the very satisfactory report of H.M. Inspector on the recent examinations. It, shows steady im- provement has been made by this school for several years, and it is now in a thoroughly efficient, condiuon. ,SOIREE.-On Thursday evening a successful soiree was held at the Assembly Rooms. There was a crowded attendance of both ladies and gentlemen. The Misses Kate Jones and Maggie Evans, Alban-square, were the prime movers, and they were ably assisted at the refreshment tables by Mrs B. C. Jones and Mrs Griffiths, the Vicarage. Songs were sung by Miss Alice Jones, Miss I. Rose, Miss Kate Jones, Master Popsy Griffiths, and a recitation was given by Miss Bertha Jones. After indulging in dancing until midnight, the procee- dings closed by singing "God save the'King." Mr Chas. Dewhurst, B.Sc., acted as M.C. TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.—The Rev. J. Thickens presided over a meeting of this Society held on the 6th instant at Peniel Vestry when there was a good attendance of members. The programme was short but bright. Miss Jones, Aberarlh, sang a Welsh solo in her usual fine and effective style. This was followed by an interesting and im- pressive address by the Chairman exhorting the younger members to partake of the spirit of the madness of youth." John Daniel Hughes read a humourous tale, after which came a song sweetly sung by Mrs Thickens. A novel feature in the pro- ceedings was a violin solo finely rendered by Mr Danny James. At the conclusion of the meeting some more new members were enrolled. 1 LITERARY AND DEBATING SOCIETY.—Last Friday's meeting of this Society was of great interest to school-children, and to those who have to do with education in other ways. All the speakers were pupils of the County School; and they did their part well. The question on which they spoke was vaguely and ambiguously expressed in the programme as Detention v. Capital Punish- ment." Dr Davies presided, and there was a satis- factory attendance, the County School pupils being present in force. Master Milton Davies opened for Corporal Punishment." He said that the pain, the disgrace and indignity incurred by corporal punishment was far more effective in its results than detention although the latter is long and tedious. Detention deprives the pupil of proper recreation, and punishes the master as well as the pupil, thus being an absolute waste of time. Master Popsy Griffiths having undergone both methods of punish- ment claimed to be an authority on the matter. He thought corporal punishment more degrading and more painful, whereas detention may improve one. Girls cannot be "corporally" punished, although they need punishment, being tremendous jabberers. In detention the pijpil is bound to learn something. Miss Olive Jones said well-known educationalists had stated that the need for punishment is the fault of the teacher. Punishment of some kind is sometimes necessary in the case of boys. If detention was the usual punishment children would be kept too long at school, and they would lack fresh airland exercise thereby. The teacher is also punished by detention. Miss Bertha Jones speaking for corporal punishment said it was soon ended, whereas detention was long and wearisome, and injurious to health, besides curtailing the time allowed for recreation. One of the largest schools in Wales had changed detention for corpoialpunish- ment. Master John Daniel Hughes also supported corporal punishment. Master Seymour Rees spoke for detention. Corporal punishment makes one more stupid and dull, and one's mind less clear. Parents are often offended by it and withdraw their children from school in consequence. A box on the ear has often made a child deaf. When punished by corporal punishment the children are in a mad mood. Masters Ocky and Edgar Davies arguing from the standpoint that Eagland is a free country condemned both methods of punishment. After some general critical remarks from Miss Scott, B.A., and Mr Dewhurst, B.Sc., the voting was taken, when twenty-eight voted for corporal punish- ment, and six for detention. BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The usual fortnightly meeting of the Board of Guardians was held on Wednesday the 6th inst, when there were present:—Mr T. A. Lloyd, Llan- santffraid (chairman); Mr J. M. Jones, Cilcennin (vice-chairman); Mrs Leah Jones and Mrs M. Rees, Aberayron; Messrs Lewis James, Cilie James Williams, Dihewyd; J. M. Howell, Henfynyw; G. Griffiths, J. C. Jones, and A. Lloyd Rees, Llanarth J. Davies, Llanbadarn Trefegiwys J. Davies, Llan- ddewi Aberarth Cerigian Evans and Jenkin Davies Llansilio; David Jones, Ystrad and D. M. Row- lands, Llansantffraid together with W. Evans and A. L. Thomas (relieving officers), Jenkin Evans (sui-veyor);- Griffith Evans (master), and B. C. Jones (clerkf). VOTE OF CONDOLENCE. On the proposition of Mr J. C. Jones a vote of condolence was passed with the Chairman on the death of his father, Mr Lloyd of Adsolwen. COUNTY RATE. A precept made by the County Council for county rate amounting to E427 7s 3d, and another for Technical Instruction rate amounting to £71 4s 6d was laid before the Board. ELECTIONS. The Clerk explained the effect of the Guardians' Election order issued by the Local Government Board, which was to the effect that the Triennial Election would be held this year at ar. earlier date owing to the Census being taken on the same day as the Election would otherwise have been. POOR LAW CONFERENCE. On the motion of Mr J. C. Jones, seconded by Mr David Jones, the Chairman and Clerk were ap- pointed to represent the Board at the Central Poor Law Conference to be held on the 26th and 27th inst in the Guild Hall, London. ASYLUM. The Clerk laid before the Board a statement signed by the Asylum Medical Superintendent showing the condition of every paul)er lunatic in Carmarthen Asylum chargeable to this Union. RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL. A SOLICITOR'S BILL. { The long-expected i'bill of costs of Mr Daniel Watkins, Solicitor, Lampeter, in the Llanina right' of way case had been referred to a committee con- sisting of Messrs J. C.
