FLINT AND DENBIGH SHOW SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITION AT MOLD. NEXT YEAR'S VENUE NOT YET SELECTED. Though the show held to-day week, at Mold, under the auspices of the Flintshire and Denbighshire Agricultural Society was not up to the level attained at Colwyn Bay, twelve months ago, in points of entries, it was on the whole a thoroughly successful exhibition. The entries were fewer by 42 only, 183G, compared with 1878 at Colwyn Bay, and it was most satisfactory to hnd that the decrease had not taken place on the essentially agricultural side, the fall- ing oil being most marked in the classes r poultry, dogs, and pigeons. In tact, the cattle classes attracted a record entry, whilst the entries in the classes for sheep, horses, arid rigs were well up to average iof recent years. The western end of Denbighshire was of course inueh less in evidence in the com- petitions this year, nevertheless some credit- able victories were won by Mr R. E. Birch, Colwyn Bay; Mr Thomas Williams, Den- bigh" Mrs "C. Lloyd, do. the Bodrhyddan Horne Farm; Mr R. J. Dav0;, Abergele; and Mr John G. Gratton, do.

At the annual meeting, Mr Buddicom pre- sided, and among others present were Mr J. Eldon Bankes, K.C., Mr Herbert Lewis, M.P., Mr P. 1'. Pennant, Colonel Mcsham, Colonel Mainwaring, Major Birch, Captain Cole, Messrs E. Webster, T. James, Peter Roberts (Biomiieid;, J. W yune Williams, T. M. Keene, Colonel Howard, R. E. Jones, R. Morris, Frank Lloyd (Wrexham; John Wat kin, Mur- less (Wrexham), C. P. Sheffield (ido.d), A. E. Evans (Wrexham), etc. The chief business was to select the site ofn-e-xt year's show. The Secretary said they had endeavoured to come to terms" with Den- bigh, but had failed. They had since ap- proached Wrexham, but they had a rival there in the Welsh National fchow. The Wrexham Town Council had consulted the Farmers' ion, and the latter had un- animously decided to recommend that the Denbigh and Flint Show be invited, to Wrex- ham in lUll. Mr Murless explained that the Town Coun- cil felt they were under a promise to invito th,e Welsh National Society to Wrexham during the coming year, but in saying this he was not speaking in an official capacity, lie hoped that notning would be done un- less there was an invitation to that Society from the Town Council. On the proposition of the President it was decided to defer the question until the October meeting, and that in the meantime the fcociety's representatives meet the Wrex- ham Council and endeavour to come to some arrangement. MR HERBERT LEWIS, M.P., ON THE ESSENTIALS OF A SHOW. At the luncheon Mr Herbert Lewis, M.P., proposed Success to the Denbighshire and Flintshire Agricultural Society. He re- marked that three essentials of a good show werct—good men at the helm, a smiling sky to attract as many visitors as possible, and a record number of exhibitors. He congratu- lated the Society upon having all these factors that day (hear, hear). The Society, however, did not exist for the purposes of the show only. It existed in order to de- velop agriculture, and however great might be the pride of the prize winners and the de- light of tho visitors, these were not the only objects of the Society. He hoped the Society would continue to flourish, so that agriculture in that county and the adjoin- ing county of Denbigh might be improved. He trusted the Society would fulfil to the uttermost those high hopes which they enter- tained of its future (applause). In responding. Mr Pennant (chairman of the Finance Committee), said the Society he.d that day put forth its whole strength in a most marvellous way. He was not express- ing his own opinion, but the opinion of ex- perts when he said that the show that day waa most excellent (hear, hear). Their standard of agricultural shows at tho pre- sent time was rather exalted, because it was only -a few weeks ago that they had the great •Royal Show within a comparatively short distance from that place. It was most satis- factory that they should have such a. large number of excellent exhibits on the ground, and that there should be such large num- bers of agriculturists and others present to look at those exhibits (hear, hear). As Mr Lewis had that Society existed for the promotion of agriculture, and he had not the slightest hesitation in saying that the Society had thoroughly succeeded in carrying out this object by showing farmers the char- acter of the stock they ought to possess (hear, hear). "The President" was proposed by Mr T. M. Keene, and was suitably acknowledged by Mr Buddicom.

DENBIGHSHIRE AND FLINTSHIRE TEKKIXOKIALfc RETROSPECT AND PROSPECT. A review of the work of the Denbighshire and Flint, hire Territorial Associations for tho year 1900-10 has been issued by the secretary (Major T. M. Keene, of Mold). The report for Dn- I bi^'hi-hiro states that the units the Association are renponsebJ-.j for have been raised, viz.: Two f<|uadrons of the Denbighshire (Hussarsi), Yeo- manry, the 4th Royal Welsh Fusilier^, the North Wales Brigade Company. Army Servioo Corps, and a company of the 5tdi Royal We- sh Fusilier.}. The o_u6stion of the provision of mobilisation etorea i.* in hand, and when this is arranged the units will be in all respcets complete and ready to fake the field at any time. This is at- tributed to the eom-mandintr officers and the wiliingr and ea.;)a.be the- have received from their officers and men. The re;x>rt also refers to the formation of a Territorial Reserve, extra duty pay for the permanent staff, the pro- vis-ion of miniature rur-fOj in various parts of the county, the erection of a drill hail at Cohvyn 33ay, and the need of improved range accommo- dation. Voluntary aid detachments (or Red Cm*} sections) wjli shortly bo started in the county. Having referred to the presentation of colours to the; 4th Battalion Royal Welsh FusiL iers, and its huiioric significance to the regiment, tho report concludes with an appreciative refer- ence to the employers of labour whok somefcmas at great inconvenience, permit.ted their emiv- ployee.; to join the Territorial Forces and to at- tend camp. Tho report of the Flint-hire Association describes the results of the year's work as "not unsatisfiictory." The strength of the 5th Bat- talion Royal Welsh FueiMers has cone up from 632 to 738. and the 3rd WeL-h Brigade R.F.A. is almo up to full strength. Tho Association regret that they have to face the serious ques- tion of the shortage of officers in the infantry. The purchase of the Victoria Hall, Mold, a drill hall has been sanctioned by the War Office, and the teftort contain^ reference to drill ha-Js at Sandycroft, Flint, a.nd Ha-warden. Both units are fully clothed and equipped, aDd the in- fantry battalion is now in possession of a wa^on and cart for truneport purposes. The review states: "The Association regret that they have had to take nzi against some of the men who ha.d failed to ma.k-e themselves cTicient. Whitat realising that men who serve are doing t-ix'ir duty by their country, it must bo remem- bered that now men receive pay whilst in camp in respect of the obligation which they ha.ve undertaken, the Association are losers financially if men are r.on-cfficienit.

People in her exalted rank of liie are always guided by the best advice ob- tainab.e, :o we may take it for granted that ('arrant Bread good. To be a mere' copyjst. .however, is not always satisfactory, so it is as well to know something about currants. They are a. won (Jarful product containing over 80 per cent, of nourishment, easily digested, and, m a w-ord, health-giving. Currants are tho little d-ried grapes of Greece, grown and dried by the rays of the generous sun which smiles c.l that favoured country. Grape-sugar, most valuable of footH, is present in abundance. One I eund cf currants, costing about 4-d, contains more nutriment of a kind than one po-ind of lean beef costing about Is 2d. Compare the cost, of both and draw your own oo-nelusioni. During your holiday feed well and wisely. Eat plenty of currants, eitlver by the handful, or in jjry of the delicious confections in which they appear.

MR, LLOYD GEORGE AT BODNANT. SPEECH ON WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE. THE rOLITICAH SITUATION. LADY I'JicLAE:N'S HOSPITALITY. (From Out* Reporter.) members of the Carnarvon Women's LiberaJ Asoclaticn were the guests of Lady Mcijaren at iiodnant Hall, Talycafn, to-day week and they were entertained with splendid liberriity. There are no less than. 40 acres of p-ees;ire ground at Eodnant and every yard of it has been laid out to the best possible advan- tage. Tho chalceat flowers and plants thrive in the open with a luxuriance that speaks elo- quently for the climaiio conditions in which Lhey grow and the skill and caie of tho small army of gardeners who look after them. There is a per/oct maze of walks, but. Oiue1 though one lost -oiiceelf in them their charms wero so alluring that geographical dinect.on became a matter of no consequence. The waterfall, in the dell, the lake below the terraces with its many-hued lillies; the terraces themselves with their roses, etii-naticns, and, plants of all varieties and colours the splendid park, fh,- noble hall, and above all the mag'nificent view of the ia.mous Conway Valley and- its rugged mountain badcgrouIJd-H there things were commented upon, in terms of unfeigned delight by her ladyship's eighty odd visitors. The repast which folio wed indoors was in keeping with the joys experienced out of doors. Tea over, the members and their friends asem- bled oii the lawn in front of the Hall where in a. few momenta they were joined by jLeady McLaren, the C'hanceLoi* of the Exchequer, and Mrs Lloyd Gcorg, whcce advent was cheered to ti.v. ccho. McL VREN,g APPEAL> LADY McLAREN said she must just say a word or two t)f welcome on that occasion (hear, hear). They had most kindly a-,lc-ed her to come over to address their Association at Carnarvon. and the had been locking* forward to accepting their in- vitation, but owing to the great stress of the season she had been quit-e- unable to do so. It was therefore particularly kr.d of them to come and sec her litest—(laughter audi cheers)—and' jt was with the greatest pleasure that she welcomed them all. She had alao keen p'oasure in wel- coming the Chanoe'lor and Mrs Floyd George (cheers). The Chancellor had signified his in- tentlon to speak to them upon political events-- (hear, hear)-alld under the c.rcamstances she would do well to rerervo what she had to say to them about polities (cries of "no" and "go on"). It had been a very arduous season for all of them. As scon as tho general election was over and Parliament had assembled the clooids gather-rd on the political horizon and they had been very much afraid that Parliament would be dissolved, involving them in another general election. Whether by g'ccd luck or by good management or the consummate tact of the Cnanoellor, the Liberal Government was still in cilice and if she judged rightly, were likely to continue in office for some tin o (applause). In- stead of the session of strife whi-ch they all anti- cipated1 they had had a ca..1m session; in fact a rather dull one (laughter). The one question of acute interest before the House had. been the women's question (cheers). They had brought in Bill which they thought was of a conciliatory oharacter; it was indeed called the Conciliation Bill and it had found support from Conserva- tives, Labour members, and the majority of the Libeiuls. She need not remind them how it had won a grand! majority of 100 votes in the House- of Commons. But the measure nad one fatal defect; it did' not commend itself to the Chan- cellor (laughter and cheers). They had now met to consider what was to be done urder that condition of things (laughter). They hoped that very great men who had such a power over the Cabinet and the country would now suggest soma means by which a suffrage measure might p:¡s,;¡ through Parliament. They did not mind much whether it was a small or a large mea- sura—just as the Chancellor pleased about that —(daughter)—but she Ihojxid he would apjxsal to the Government not to face the country again without giving the vote to women (hear, hear). They only wanted votes so that they might sup- port the Chancellor and his colleagues in their grand schemo of socal reform (cheers). That was what was nearest to their hearts; they wished to remedy the great injustice suhered1 by the mass of the people and to placo their country upon a different social platform (ap- plause). They wanted to make their country grec.t and glorious and to do that they must raise every individual in it and' make every home, even that of the poorest happy (loud cheers). Mr Gladstone said "Liberalism mean", 'trust the {eople' They now urged the Chancellor to "trust the women." If he did go he would find at tho next election that they would not fail him (hear, hear); they would work with their whole heart and strength to achieve a great Liberal victory at the rcxt election. They would now hear what the Chancellor had to say to them and she earnestly hope-d he would v g'ive them a honeful speech (app'ause). THE CIIAiNCELLOR'S SPEECH. MR LLOYD GEORGE said he hoped they would not accept the short, although very happy, speech they had heard from Lady McLaren as a complete redemption of her pledge to address tha Liberal Women's Association, of Carnarvon. They must insist upon fcor appearing at Car- narvon and giving" one of her bril- liant speeches (hear, hear). She had already given him a cue as to what he ought to address them upon, and he promised them 'that he would Fly something' on t h, cjucstiqn of women's suffrage, but he would like r,t 1, to say firet of all that he apologised for with- drawing them from the enjoyment of those beautiful grounds and from thf contemplatiOn or grand scenery which surrounded them to consider the mere mundane affairs of tho poli- tical world, which, as Lady McLaren had re- minded them, had: boon singularly dull during th last session of Parliament. Proceeding, the Chancellor said that during the kst few clays he had been struck with the immense number of people who were engaged in pure holidaying. There was no country in Europe in which the same thing obtained to such an extent, and yet this was the country which had been ruined by Free Trade people. Yet, after all, there were millions of people even in this country, rich as it was, who coufd nob indulge in a holiday, who were sunk in poverty, who found it just as much as they could do to provide sustenance for themselves and their families throughout tho year. "It is a great shame," said the Chancellor, "that in a rich country like ours there should be so many people who find the horizon of life bounded by mere sustenance for them- selves and their families. It argues that there is something wrong in our social sphere, and tho best thing we can all do is to turn our minds to see in what direction we can meivd it." Turning to the political situation, Mr George said they had had a rather quiet and dull stssibn. The political weather was a little uncertain. It was very difficult to pre- dict what was going to happen. It was not safe to forecast more than the next twenty-four hours. The polit;eal situation was rather like tho present weather; they might find it fuU of menace, with clouds dark and threatening, and they thought they were in for a great storm, and, after all, they were let off with a very light shower. Then another day be- gan, full of brightness and sunshine, but as it went on clouds began to gather, and they were not sure what would happen. Coming to the question of women's suffrage, Mr George said that was the first meeting of a Women's Liberal Association he had ad addressed since a rather famous mr-cting at the Albert Hall. "Now," he proceeded, "I have been accused of having gone back on the terms which I then gave, on the pledgo which I then signed. I adhere in every particular to the pledge I gave at the Albert HaJl-in every particular; I do not recede from a syllable of it, and inasmuch as that pledge was g?ven after consultation with my chief, the Liberal Prime Minister, I think I can also say that neither he nor the Government to which he belongs recedes from it. NOT A DEMOCRATIC BILL. Well, then, you may say, "why didn't I vote for the Conciliation Bill? Because that Bill did not come up to the conditions under which I undertook to vote for Women's Suffrage in th-e House of Commons. What we-re those conditions. The first was at the Bill should be a democratic one, and the second was that there should be some evi- denoo that women really asked for it. "To the second condition I attach less im- portance than I do to the first. I attach su- preme importance to the first. I have never voted for a Bill which is not a democratic one, and I never wiii, and I will tell you why. There are so many artificial obstacles in the way of progress that I decline absolutely to have any- thing to do with them. "Just think of the number of artificial diffi- culties which the constitution of thi> pountry places in the way of any measure of reform. You have got the House of Lord;. Now I do not want to discuss the House of Lords at the present moment, but at any rate it is an pbitaclo in the path of reform. Then there is the con- gestion of businef); in the House of Commons owing to the very cumbrous and rather unin.tet.li- gent Parliamentary machinery which we havo got in this country. "When you have got, in addition to that, our registration laws, which eecm to have been framed as if with the purpose of making Et al- most impoesiibic to get on the reginter, and fourthly, a.nd one of the greatest obstacles of all, you have got the plural voter. "The p. ural voter is a person who ha., got twice or threo times, or may be s'x times, as much power and influence in the choice of a re- presentative as his neighbour has, not booauoo he has six times as much intelligence, but pure- ly aud sinaply because ho has six timer, ar> much property as the other, and not always that, but because his property chances to be spread over Mix constituencies. That ia undoubtedly a very great obstacle to reform. "Take the present Parliament. Had it not been for tho plural voter, who votes several times in the coarse of a general election, we g.hould have had a majority at the last election cf pretty nearly one million votes, instead of about four hundred thour-and, and wo should have had a Parliamentary majority of not 100 but 200." The history of the last forty yea;-?, Mr George proceeded, to!d the same ta'e. "What I say as a Liberal is this. I do not feel incknad to vote for any BiJl that increases the number of pluratl voters in this country. Now, what ii-, thre ';0- called Conciliation Bill? It. is a Bill which woui'd give a vote to every lady of property if she eheso to tako the trouble. I do net object to that at a-, but it would only g.ve a v&,e to barely one- tenth of the working women. WOMEN SUFFRAGE ALL ROUND. "Now if you are going to have a Bill to en- franchise women you miut do it all round-— (cheers)-and you must maintain the proporulon. I do not want to double the number of plural voters in this country who will be at the com- mand of every Tory organiied to overbear the voice of the o ee-tons in a 6on. tituency. "I arri all for women's suffrage, but I want it all round (cheers). But it may bo said: 'The Conciliation Bill would enfranchise working women, too." It would enfranchise probably about one-tenth or one-fifteenth of the working women of the country—not more—and the work- ing women who, under this Bi'S, would get the vote would not really be representative of their C'ÐS. They are not the best representative of their claj-, for the simple reason that they are more dependent. They have not got the same strength and .backing to resist undue influence as the wtifo of a working man would have, and in many respects they are not 00 well equipped. I be- lieve in enfranchising the working woman; I wou: d vote for it; I have voted for a Bill that would have done fO; I will do so again, and not merely that, but I wilil use the whole of my in- fluence, whether publtclv or privately, to get a BiT of that sort through" (cheers). There were conditions, he proceeded, under which a working man and his wife's interests were divergent. A husband given to excessive drinking would not vote for a Bill to reduce the number of public-houses; his wife, who had to try to keep the home together on the miserable ragged remnant of the salary which the husband gave her, would be only too glad to have the chance to vote for such a Bill. The man had such gratification as the day excitement of drink gave him; the woman had to face for the whole twenty-four hours the squalid, miserable, impov- erished home, with its hungry and ragged chil- dren. It was she who suffered the perdition of it, and in such a case she, above all others, ought to have a vote to protect not merely her- self but, her little children as well (cheers). No Bill which does not give the patent weapon of the vote 'to such a woman would ever get his support. Any Bill which would give that woman the vote would have the support of every in- fluence he could possibly exercise. HARD ON MR CHURCHILL. To those who complained of his and Mr Churchill's opposition- to the Conciliation Bill, ho would point out that. the extension of the suff- rage on women in the Colonies and in America had been on democratic principled. Suffragists in Australia and New Zealand would reject with scorn the Bill which wa.s called the Conciliation Bill. "I think ib rather hard on Mr Churchill and myself," said Mr George, "that we should be denounced as traitors to the women's cause, purely and simply because we have advocated the following' of the only successful experiments in women's suffrage which have ever been made in this world, and because we refused absolutely to support) a measure which no suffragist in the Colonies or America had ever had given his vote for." There was another condition imposed by the, Prime Minister: that there should be some proof that women really wanted the vote. He thought that was reasonable, not because justice ought not to be extended until people clamoured for it, but there were many things claiming tho at- tention of Parliament, and he thought it was right that it should be given first, of all to the most urgent things, and he did not know that there was real proof up to fhei present that the vast majority of the women of the country were sufficiently interested in the franchise to re,ally ask for it. He was more than ever doubtful as to whether the cause of the women had been helped by the methods which had been followed during the last few years in advocating the cause of women. After all, had it really taken such a long time to bring the question to its present position con- sidering the magnitude, of the change involved? Irish women had been working for Home Rule for over 100 year3, and Bill- had been car- ried in tho House of Commons for it, and yet. it was not granted. Supposing Irishmen went about the country breaking up the political meetings of their friends, did anyone think that would help them ? His view was that this was a fatal way, and he knew it did harm to the cttiso in very in- flue-ntial quarters. Men whoeo support was worth having were not to be bulbed into a thing. LORDS' QUESTION FIRST. "But," proceeded the Chancellor, "whatever the Bill, I would not put it in front of a settle- ment of the IIouso of Lords' question (cheers). I say the same thing about Welsh Disestablish- ment.. I would not put anything in front of .,on that queston; iv is paramount. We have under- taken the task, and it would be lolly for us to drop it. "We have got to get a settlement of that first —(cheers)—and, honestly, I am amazed at the light-heariedness with which some of my Libe- ral friends were prepared to put even a question like this in front of it." VOTES OF THANKS. Mrs Lloy(1 George, who was cordially re- ceived, then proposed thanks to Lady MoLe.ixm, on behalf of tlwt Association, for allowing them to spenoi the afternoon in these beautiful grounds They had all enjoyed thoroughly every moment of the afternoon (hear, hear). Mr3 Natiii Roberts (president of the Associa- tion), in seconding said it was well for them that Lady McLaren had been unable to keep her pro- mise to go to Carnarvon- b;cause they had now mise to go to Carnarvon- b;cause they had now been privileged to tee her in her beautiful home while yet hopeful of obtaining an address from her at Carnarvon (cheers and laughter). They also desired to thank Lady McLaren for the brayo way she was fighting on behalf of their cause (cheers).
