LARGEST BALANCE OF RECENT YEARS . The annual Easter Vestry meeting in con- nection with Ross Parish Church was held in the Lower Schoolroom , after being ad- journed from the vestry , on Friday morning last , when the Rev. R. T. A. Money - Kyrle ( Rector ) presided over a very good atten- dance . Among those present were Colonel Q. R. Middleton , Captain R. H. Verschoyle , Rev. C. H. Payton Mr. F. W. Wintle , Mr. J. E. S. Hewett , Mr. J. Meredith , Mr. T. Matthews . Mr. J. B. Evans , Mr. D. Leigh- ton , Mr. Horton . Mr. H. J Pike , Mr. H. Stevenson , Mr. G. Okell , Mr. C. E. Gray , Mr. J. Turner , Mr. H : S.

HEREFORDSHIRE APPLES . - At a meeting of the executive of the South Herefordshire Farmers ' Union , held at Hereford on Wed- nesday , the secretary ( Mr. J. P. Griffiths ) " said a letter had been received from the secretary of the National Executive of the Farmers ' Union ( Mr. Palmer ) intimating that the Agricultural Organisation Society was interesting itself in the co - operation of apple growers , and had suggested that a con- ference should be held of farmers interested . Mr. Palmer enquired whether the branch was in favour of holding a conference and , if so , requested them consider what arrangements should be made . The proposal was favourably received , and a committee , consisting of Mr. E. W. Caddick , Mr. J. A. Thompson , Mr. E. C. Andrews , Mr. Leslie Tompson , and Mr. A. G. Bunn , was appoint- ed and empowered to make the necessary arrangements . Mr. Caddick suggested that the conference might take place on the an- nual Tasting Day at the National Fruit and Cider Institute , Long Ashton , on May 7th . MARQUEES AND TENTS FOR HIRE . - Tente for all purposes - Flower Shows , Garden Parties , Weddings , Sales , Camping - Tabling , parishioners for giving him the Easter Seating , Walling Canvas , Flags , Lamps , etc. 25. It was indeed very kind of the parish- offertory , which amounted to nearly Marquees to seat from 10 to 1,000 people.oners to give him that sum towards the Engagements booked now for the ensuing stipends of his assistant clergy . As a matter of fact , everything , was rising in price , and even the curates were rising , for in the ensuing year he would have to pay - and he did not complain because it was quite right that advances in salaries should be given without any strikes more than had ever been paid in Ross for the services of the assistant clergy . But he was glad to say the tithe was better than it was a few years ago . They had not undertaken any very great work as regarded alterations to the season . E. and R. THE RECTOR'S REMARKS . After onening the meeting with prayer , the RECTOR said it was the custom at this meeting for him to make a short statement . In the first place he wished to thank the Estimates free.-A.

Trout are very numerous this season - the absence of snow during the past winter being largely accountable for this gratifying state of affairs . The blue and olive Dun proved to be a killing bait . Grosmont , which is situat- ed some 15 miles from Ross , appears to be the most popular spot on this renowned trout Church during the year .
