SALE OF WORK AT BODLONDEB HOSPITAL. I GIFTS FROM PRINCESS VICTORIA. I (By Our Own Reporter.) I Mr, Lloyd George opened a sale of work done by wounded soldiers at the Bodlondeb Red Cross Hospital, near Bangor, on Wednesday. Dull and foreboding in, the morning, the weather improved for the opening eeiemony, which iva; conducted :t front of the hospital, in the presence of a large gathering. Mr J. R. Davieo, Ceris, who presided, briefly introduced Mrs Lloyd Gorge, and the Chair- man of the Menai Bridge Council (Air en- ogles; made a few rerrarKs, in which he re- minded the audience that though the hospital was in Carnarvonshire,it belonged to Anglesey. Menai Bridge took more than usual interest in the Premier, for it was ho who opened their pier in September. :904. Col. Dixon, the Director of the Red Cross in Anglesey, said it was the tluty of everyone m t hese days of trial to help their country, and especially our wounded soldiers No better ex- ample of self-sacriiice mid duty wils furnished in the country than the lives of the Premier and his wife. (hear, hen). It was through the kindness of Mr H. R. Davies, who was now 111 France, that the Anglesey Red Cross and the Menai Bridge Detachment were able to carry on their noble work at Bodlondeb. The hospital was organised by the Menai Bridge detachment, under the Coir.mai uant, Mrs Clegg, in 1915, and they had been helped by some members of the Beaumaris detachment, and also by the Menai Bridge Men's Detachment, who had eikeii on the orderly duties. Since the hospital was opened nearly 8{;(J men had passed through it, greatly benefitted by the invigorating air, the pleasant surroundings, and the assiduous at- tention of Dr. Thomas, the medical officer, and the nurses of the V.A.I), who staffed the hos pital, under the Matron (Miss Dickenson). The hospital had been very fortunate in its friends, who included Princess Victoria. The Hon. Violet Vivian had also helped them, and the Treborth family had proved loyal friends, while now they had the good fortune to havo Mrs Lloyd George interesting herself in their work. Mr Fred. W Turner, secretary of the Angle- sey Red Cross Society, acknowledged the loyal way thj people of Anglesey had responded to the appeals which had been made. When the war began, a meeting was summoned by Lady Magdalen Williams-Bulkeley, and a subscription list was opened for the benefit of our wounded soldiers and. sailors, <nd to provide them with extrü. comforts. The sum of £900 was immedi- ately provided, and that amount had been added to since, making the total fund about £3000, ail of which was given by the people of I Anglesey cheers). In addition the county had raised Jb'2500 in response to appeals for the Red Cross In rranee Serbia, Russia, and our own at home and at the front. An "Our Day" was to be held shortly, and he hoped last jear's col- lectiori. ;CllCO. would be edinsed. LUCKY WOUNDED SOLDIERS. I Mrs Lloyd Gcoigc, who was accompanied by her eldest daughter, Mrs Carey Evans, corrgra- tulated the staff of the hospital on the way it was being conducted. The staff was evidently interested in their work. "I have great ad- miration for and sympathy with Red Cross work." added Mrs Lloyd George "These hos- pitals throughout the country are carrying on a beneficent work, but I do not know what they would have done without the services of the jan{Js of young ladies who work in them. I congratl11at2 also the wounded soldiers who have 'been so lucky as to be sent here, a. peaceful spot after their strenuous days in France. I see the soldiers here have been busy, and that the result of their work is being offered for sale I to-day. 1 have seen a good deal of the beauti- ful work done by wounded soldiers, but I am I sure that what is done here is equal to anything I have yet seen." Lady Verney, in moving a vote of thanks to Mrs Lloyd George, said that during the past few days the gloom of the war had been deep- ened by the gloom of the weather, and they were afraid they would not be able to wet- come Mrs Lloyd Georgo with adequate weather, but the sun had proved kinder than their hopes, and as its light was dawning through the grey cloud?, so they hoped that, despite the surround- ing gtoom, the work of the Red Cross would go on for ever. They all rejoiced that in the present crisis of the Empire's f&te the eloquence of Wales, the er.ergy of Wales, and the re- sourcefulness of Welles were all being put at the service of our King and country in the person of Mr Lioyd George cheers) Alderman J. H. Burton seconded the vote, whirl] was carried. A brisk. sale was carried on in ono of the large green houses. A number of articles, in- cluding cushion covers, postcard covers, blotters, etc.. made by the soldiers, were sold. The ar- tistry shown by the men in making these ar- ticles evoked much favourable comment. In the collection of lfowers offei-ed for sale were a num- ber of exquisite carnations sent by Princess Victoria. The Hoji. Violet Vivian had charge of the fruit and flower stall, and Miss Bayne, Corfandy. sold the men's handiwork; while Sir Michael Duff, of Vaynol, was busy selling apples, unusually large in size. Concerts were given in the Hut, those tak- ing part being Mrs Hughes Wilhams, Gaer- wen: Mr Mulliner, Rifleman South, Lance-Corpl. Farmary, and Private Bramwell.

LOCAL HISTORY NOTES AND QUERTES. REPRESENTATION OF CARNARVON. My note on this matter last week was rendered pointless by sotiie inixt-ire oi the lines in print nig. The observant reader will find out, from what is clear in 1'iost of the note, how to correct the misprint. Smith says that in 1835 two mem- bers were sitting in Parliament as representatives of Carnarvon and the district which went with it, and he names the members, namely, Sir Charles Paget and Major Nanney. My point was that only two memOei represented Ix-th the county and its boroughs in 1833. Mr Assheton Smith represented the county, but the boroughs had to undergo seme trouble as to their repre- sentation. In the election (lJeceinber, 1832) there were two candidates, "Sir Charles Paget and N-o ca[, d i d L,.tes, ,4, Major Ellis Nanney. Sir Charles was elected, but Major Nanney petitioned against the election, and succeeded in ousting Sir Charles, 7LIi Feb., 1333, but a counter-petition by Sir Cha^e^ suc- ceeded, May 22nd following, in ousting the Major in his turn and S11 Charles was re-mstated. It is clear from this that these two gelltlemen weN not fellow-members of Parliament, representing Carnarvon, as Mr Smith ;>tate;i they were, to- gether- at the sumo time. While on this sub- ject, would some reader iiiiorm us when, and undei what circumstances, the county of Car- narvon wa-J divided into two constituencies, Eilion and Arfon'/ FROM CAP EL CURIG TO LLANRWST IN 1828 I feel inclined again To glean a few out-of-the- way facts and suggestions from Mr Smith's "Guide to Bangor," etc., 1833. At the end of July, 1828, we hnd our traveller at Capel Curig. What he says about the hotel is strikingThe inn, which is beautifully situated, stands, I should think, upon more ground than any other in Wales. If I recollect cright, it is about ninety yard-i in direct length; but it is not lofty." At Bettwsycoed they crossed Pont y Pair, passed through JBettwsycoed, went over "the grand cast iron Waterloo-bridge, round to the left and down to Llanrwst." Those acquainted with Bettwsycoed will notice that the way from Capel Curig to Bettws in 1828 went over Pont y Pair, that is, it came down along the left bank of the Llugwy, and not along the right bank, as now. I wonder whether this is right. If it is, I could anyone tell us when the present road through Pentre-dur was made ? LIVERPOOL-HOLYHEAD SIGNAL I StATIONS. Mr Smith has, in his third narrative, a great deal to say about these signal stations, which still remain on our sea-shore eminences, though their use and service are gone. I am collecting data to put together the history of this Old Telegraph, and what Mr Smith says will be bet- ter, for the time being, left among those data. INTERESTING JOTTINGS. I In 1829 Mr Smith reiers to Penrhyn Castle as having "undergone many changes; but the pre- sent proprietor is likely to render it a lasting monument of his wealth and his taste, having been for some years occupied in entirely rebuild- ing it on a scale of great magnificence." Also, to the beautiful road, which is about four miles and a half in length, extending from the Bridge to Beaumaris, which was constructed by the late Lord Bulkeley in 1804, at an expense of about -03000. His Lordship, it is said, presented it to the public, keeping it in repair at his own charge. An ancient Welsh manuscript, at the rectory of St. George's, near Denbigh, alludes to a road passing straight across the bay, lower than Beau- maris." I wonder what MS. is here alluded to by Mr Smith on page 71 of his "Guide." On his visit in 1829 Mr Smith was one of a party of, thirty-fi ve Li verpool ladies and gentle- men who accepted the invitation of a certain Mr Daney, of that city, to accompany him for a sea voyage, on his stcampacket Ormrod, to the Menai Straits and back. They started on Monday morning. May 11th, 1829. and returned the fol- lowing day. They stayed over-night at the Pen- rhyn Arms Hotel, Bangor, "under the agree- able auspices of our amiable hostess" Mrs Bick- nelL On Tuesday they went aboard the Ormrod at Beaumaris, where they admired so much the newly rebuilt Bttron Hill, which had just then been under the attention of Mr S. Wyatt, the architect, who had also renovated Penrhyn Castle. At that time they little thought of what they heard afterwards—namely, that on the pre- vious day the young bride of Baron Hill, the wife of Mr (afterwards Sir) Richard Bulkeley, and daughter of Colonel Hughes of Kmmel (after- wards Lord Dinorben), had died in London, after barely a year of married life. I T. THE ROYAL WELSH (R.W.F.). it ought to be the pride of this Regiment that it stands so high in the list of honours-bearing regiments of the Army. The King's Royal Rifle Corps is the highest in the British Army, with 33 honours; then comes the Highland Light In. fantry with" 29; the Rifle Brigade (Prince Con- sort's Own) with 28; the Gordon Highlanders, and the South Staffordshires, with 26 cach; and then the Royal Welsh, the Royal Scots, and the Royal Dublin, with 25 each. This is surely an enviable position and the regiment has a right to be proud of it. I RECTORS AND VICARS OF LLANDRILLO. The next game m the list of rectors is-" 1598 John Roberts, M.A., void by lapse; vicar oi Corwen, 1571;" rector of Cerrigydruidion, 1581; rector of Erbistock, 1585." He is put as rector of Llandrillo from 1598 to 1609. It is next to impossible to know much about this man, though he was contemporary of such men as Archdeacon Edmund Prys,. whose "history is so well known. He can hardly be vicar of Corwen in 1571, as Dr. Salisbury was vicar of Corwen from 1573 to 1578. Archdeacon Thomas, under Corwen, puts John Roberts as vicar from 1578 to 1581. This is far more likely than 1571. Foster's "Alumni Oxoniensis" would probably give the name of his father and birth-place. He probably served Llandrillo himself with no vicar helping him, and that up to 1619, as we suggest below. The next rector is-" 1609-33, John Bayley, B.D. warden of Ruthin, 1621," and in his time, 1610 to 1632, Griffith Prichard, M.A., is vicar. Even this vicar was not altogether at Llandrillo, as he is put down as rector of Llangelenin 1613, and Canon of Bangor and rector of LJangynhafal 1626. John Bayley was a son of Dr. Lewis Bayley, Bishop of Bangor, 1616-1631, author of "The Practice of Piety," the book which first stirred John Bunyan to think seriously about religion. John Bayley naturally was in his father's diocese of Bangor. I doubt whether he kept his connection with Llandrillo very long. He was made Precentor of Bangor Cathedral, October 2nd. 1617, and in 1618 was made vicar (according to Browne Willis' "Bangor," but rec- tor according to Archdeacon Thomas) and Pre- bendary of Llanfair Dyffryn Clwyd in the Cathe- beti d ary of dral of Bangor. In 1621 he was made the fifth Warden of Ruthin. He gave up the Prenbendary stall in 1619 and was succeeded by one John Roberts, M. A., who waa made rector of Llan- gynhafal and Llanfair the same year. My theory is that this John Roberts was the rector of Llan- drillo of that name mentioned above, and that rhe date 1609, as the year John Bayley became rector of Llandrillo, ought to be 1619. Then Bayley would give up Llanfair, and the Canonry attached to it in Bangor, and Roberts admitted to them in his stead, and getting Llangynhafal also as an inducement to make the exchange of allowing Bayley to have Llandrillo. It is signi- ficant that Griffith Prichard, M.A., vicar of Llan- drillo, was made rector of Llangynhafal after Roberts' death in 1626. Of this Griffith Prichard, Browne Willis' "Bangor," page 170, says: "On Sept. 13, 1613, he was instituted to Llangelynyn Rectory, Co Carnarvon, and on his quitting that to Llangynhafal, Co..Denbigh, Oct. 4, 1627. Collated Canonicus Primus in Bangor CathedraJ Dec 7, 1626. He died Anno 1632." HISTORIC US.
