SHOW The annual GOODRICH FLOWER schedule published by the Goodrich and Dis- trict Horticultural Society , and printed by the Ross Gazette Ltd. , is now ready for circulation , and a perusal of its pages shows that this society is still growing in usefulness as well as in popularity . , There are 90 classes in addition to the champion classes , and the events for the best kept gardens in the parishes which this society now covers . Conservative Soolal and Dance . A POPULAR GATHERING . The organizers of the new Conservative social and dance , which took place at the Corn Exchange on Monday evening are to be deservedly congratulated on the great success of their maiden venture . The sug- gestion of arranging such a function first originated with Mr. J. A. Thomas , the Secretary of the Ross Lodge of the National League , Conservative who immediately brought the question before the other Unionist Associations in the town , and by their hearty co - operation a strong and in- fluential committee was elected from among the members of the Ross Conservative Club , the local lodge of the National Conserva- tive League , the Kyrle Habitation of the Primrose League , the local branch of the Women's Unionist and Tariff Reform Associ- ation , and the junior Conservative League , which at once got to work to make the neces- sary arrangements . An excellent programme was drawn up for the first part of the even- ing , which took the form of a concert , with a short address by Capt . Robert Allen , the president of the Conservative Club , in the course of which he severely criticised the Llangarron speech of Mr. Clement Parish . Nearly four hundred tickets were sold , and according to the tickets taken and sold at the door . there were about 370 persons pre- The latter part of the programme sent . consisted of a dance , and this proved immen- sely popular , in fact so delighted were those present with this particular item , that the general and almost unanimous opinion was that more of these socials and dances should be arranged during the winter months . The proceedings opened with a well - render- ed overture by the band , which has only under the conductorship of Mr. C. S. Con- stance , and should , with continued practice , prove a great acquisition to the musical life of Ross and the neighbourhood . In many instances increased prizes are offered in some of the divisions , which now include all types of gardeners - recently been instituted , and is now run the novice , the amateur , and the professional -while the division for farmers . or their wives . is an exceptionally useful one . In addition to the Horticultural Section , the sports promise to be even more attractive , as the jumping , harness , and gymkhana classes have been increased this year . The date of the exhibition is fixed for Tuesday , August 18th , and the Hereford City Mili- tary Band ( under Mr. E. Stanton Jones ) has already been engaged for the afternoon . PRINTING .

This is in addition to the £ 1,300 already granted . It is under- stood that the above settlement was arrived at after pressure had been brought to hear from the Board of Education . Alderman James Corner , a prominent member of the committee , strongly protest ed against giving way , and on the committee adopting the course they did , he at once sent in his resignation .

Sir , You were good enough to insert a letter from me some time ago in which I endeavoured to show , from personal ex- periences in '70 , the urgent necessity of National Service . I now beg you to insert the statement of Colonel Seely , the Secre tary for War ( which was published last Friday ) , and which I enclose . THE TERRITORIAL DEFICIENCY . Colonel Seely , in reply to Sir Charles Hunter , states that the numbers of war- rant officers , non - commissioned officers , and men deficient on January 1 , 1914 , were respectively : Regular Army , 8,999 ; Ter- ritorial Force 61,848 . Quite a big field put in an appearance at Mr. Jack Parry's meet at Trevase on Satur- day last . A fair morning's sport passed the time away until after luncheon , when the real business of the day happened . Hares were plentiful , and this one was found within three hundred yards of Mr. Parry's house , on a fallow belonging to Mr. T. Webb , of Cross Ways . Crossing the lane and passing the Trevase Cottages , hounds carried a good head down the bank to the boggy meadows , where the field got over the brook by one of the simple but much appreciated hunting bridges erected by our host a few years ago .

ADDRESS BY THE RECTOR OF ROSS . Mr. John Davies , Alton - street , presided over the Brotherhood meeting on Sunday last , when the Rector of Ross gave an ad- dress , his subject being " Obadiah " Kings , chap . 18 ) . Obadiah , said the Rector , was only once mentioned in the Bible , and nothing more was known of him Yet he must have been a very influential man the Grand Vizier or , as they would now say , the Prime Minister of King Ahah . He was a man of position , wealth and power . Of his earthly greatness it might be said that his pomp follow him , " but of his character " as one who feared the Lord this could not be said . Let it be noted that he began well he feared the Lord from his youth ( verse 12 ) ; he persevered , for even in the height of his prosperity he feared the Lord greatly ; he continued in the service of God when it was not to his own interest , rescu- ing and saving the Lord's prophets , and suffering persecution at the hands of Jezebel . howeve . , " he took nothing away with him , nor did Union will , in respect of the salaries of side of the country , and those who have that this vein the opinion of many , Capt . ROBERT ALLEN , the President of the Ross Conservative Club , in his short ad- dress , said they were all probably aware that this social evening originated through the suggestion of Mr. J.-A. Thomas , the secre- tary of the Ross Lodge of the National Con- servative League , who appealed to the other Conservative organisations to join in . This was considered an excellent idea , and a strong committee was appointed from the members of the Ross Conservative Club , the SUCCESS OF A WORKING MAN - At the local lodge of the National Conservative examination held by the Board for Mining League , the Women's Unionist and Tariff Exams at the Sheffield University Nov. 25th .

Mr. Gwynne is the eldest son gramme with which he could really quarrel of Mr. Thomas Gwynne , of the Weir End . was the one he was now dealing with , viz . , Bridstow , Ross , and is employed as an ex- an address by himself . He might say first aminer by the Acton Hall Colliery Co. , of all that he had received letters of regret at their inability to attend from Capt . P. A. Clive , M.P. , and Mrs. Clive , Col. O. R. Middleton , Capt . L. P. Walsh , R.A. , Mr. Child , Mr. Barling , and Mr. Thorpe . They all knew the reason of Capt . Clive's absence , for he was at present serving their interests in Parliament . where he worked very hard on their behalf ( applause ) . He hoped that as long as he consented to serve them that they would do their utmost to allow him to continue to represent them ( applause ) Well , as he ( Capt . Allen ) was down for an address , he supposed he must say something . He was not going to touch upon the present state of politics in England , but there was one thing he wished to refer to . Those who read the papers would agree with him that there were some most extraordinary statements flying Gamefeather about from their opponents . This seemed to be quite the order of things from the ments as those were known some time ago as terminological inexactitudes , " but he ovation , and her first song , " ( Sanderson ) , gave the singer hardly knew what to call them now .

The audience was then treated made by prominent members of the Govern- to a very clever conjuring performance by ment , Capt . Allen proceeded to say that he Mikado , the silent Magician and Japanese now wished to touch upon a matter which conjurer , whose tricks were really marvel- came nearer home to them . They had their lous , and were productive of most hearty applause . The latter part of the programme prospective Radical Candidate . speaking at Llangarron on the 30th of last consisted of a further graceful dance by month , and he had a report of his speech Miss Mew , and songs by Mr. Harold Crump , which appeared in the " Ross Gazette , " and Mrs. Harold Crump , and Mr. G. H. Porter , he had no reason to doubt that that speech all of whom were again well received . Refreshments were then handed round , was perfectly reported . Amongst other remarks Mr. Parish made , and after an interval the hall , which was he said this : " The Tories were all against very tastefully decorated by Messrs .

At the conclusion of the address , Mr. H. T. Howell sang Shipmates o ' Mine , " and was loudly applauded . The comic element was taken up by Mr. G. H. Porter , and it matters not when or where he appears , he always proves a most popular favourite . His first song on this occasion was " How are Yer ? " with the response by the audience , which was taken up very heartily , " Very well , how's yerself , " and for that he was given an enthusiastic encore , and in reply to Tipperary , " the chorus of which gave the audience an opportunity to join in . dance , which was greatly appreciated , and Freda Mew then gave a most delightful this was followed by a song , sung by Mr. J.

A public meeting in connection with the Ross Free Church Council was held in the Baptist Church Schoolroom on Thursday evening last , Mr. T. J. Guy presiding . The meeting was chiefly in support of the tem- perance movement , and was attended by the children of the various Church Bands of Hope in the town , who rendered solos , choruses , recitations , etc. , at intervals dur- ing the meeting . Mr. E. B. Reynolds , of Leominster . the president of the Hereford- shire Free Church Council , and the Rev. T. Howell , of Leominster , the hon . secretary , were also present . The meeting opened with the singing of a hymn , after which the Rev. W. A. Powicke led in prayer . Mr. Guy welcomed Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Howell , and gave a short address upon the principles of the Free Church Council , and said that the Conneil brought together all those who had differences in their Churches . in a united service for God , when they could all cultivate the beautiful spirit of worship- ping God together . One of the great bless- ings of the recent mission , he thought , was the fact that they were all united together in prayer praise to God . Mr. Reynolds said they were there as Free Churchmen , and they believed in freedom in matters of religion When they remem- bered what their ancestors did so that they at the present day might have this free- dom of religion , they all realised what a Had it not great privilege they enjoyed . heen for the struggle for freedom their fore- and correctly who was Awakening as " were an evidence of his character . and unworthy was the best that they could . was always the case ; yet , after all , how poor do .
