Ancient Custom.

An old custom was indulged in Beaumaris last month when the Angelesey Hunt rode in after their sport with the hare. Riders and hounds paraded the streets and The Anglesey Hunt goes back to a surging crowd scrambled for hot the year 1757, but when this busi- coppers cast from the balcony of ness of casting hot coppers to the the Bulkeley Arms Hotel by the crowd started nobody seems to It has probably been done patroness of the Hunt Ball.

On the occasion this year the town band playing "John Peel' headed the Hunt procession: A feature was the number of women riders, and there were children mounted on ponies, including dark-skinned young gipsy who raide with an easy grace.

They had excellent sport on a day Scent was of mellow sunshine. good and a rousing run ended in a kill. There are now no foxes in Angelesey nor is there stang hunting in Beaumaris, any more, and there are people who will tell you that even the harriers are not what they were. "The young men and women are not taking to hunting." said an old follower and there is nothing like the enthusiasm there once was."

V WOMEN'S COMPLAINT.

A deputation organised by the Equal Rights Committee and re- presenting several women's socie ties waited upon the Home Secret- ary recently in London in connec tion with the new Factory Dill. The chief point made was that the deputation thought it important that before the bill was passed the Government should ratify the Washington

Hours Convention,

which does not contain any sex dis- crimination, an example, the de- putation wishes the Factory Bill to

follow.

Lady Rhondda, on behalf of the Equal Rights Committee, introdue Miss Froud, ed the deputation. representing the National Union of the Woman Teachers, spoke on economic position of women, and Miss Reeves, of the Women's Free-

Miss Monien Whately discussed the Washingtor Hours Convention in connection with the proposed Factory Bill. She was supported by an East End woman who, speak- ink from her own experience, said that if women in the heavy trades got higher wages and better food the lifting of heavy weights would Dot trouble them.

The deputation, which was re- ceived in private and remained Iwith Mr. Clynes for more than an. hour, was pleased with the sympa. thetic way in which he listened to the speakers. One of them anid afterwards that he had expressed pleasure at the opportunity of hearing their point of view. He appeared to appreciate their agree- ment that prohibitive and protee- tive legislation should be based on the nature of the work and not on the sex of the worker, and to as sured the deputation that he would give full and impartial considera- tion to their views.

Among the provisions the women asked for was the equality of pro- hibitions, restrictions, and regula tions for young persons of hoth
