The i Wrexham Guardian' says : — • v An enormous beech-tree was drawn from Hawarden Park yesterday by 7 horses belonging to Messrs Bracegirdle & Son, timber merchants, North wich, to the Wrexham goods station of the Connah's Quay Railway, for transit to Manchester. It was felled a few days ago by Mr Gladstone, who, notwithstanding that it measured thirteen feet in circumference, accomplished his laborious but agreeable task in less than six hours. ; The tree contained over 200 cubic feet, and weighed nearly ninetons. Experienced ' fellers' tell us that the . ex- Premier did his work in a thorough business-like manner, ancl quite to the satisfaction of the purchasers."
