Rhyl Journal

SMALL TALK. Aimee Swayne writes as follows :—" Having read in your paper the account of the rescue of two boys who were surrounded by the tide at Rhyl last week, am very much surprised that none of the townspeople should have taken the matter up and tried to obtain for P.C. Adams a medal from the Royal Humane Society, or some other reward. Is it because he is a policeman that no notice whatever has been taken, and that even at the inquest of the boy who was drowned he should not even have been praised for his conduct ? This is scarcely the way to encourage anyone to risk their life, when only ingratitude appears to be met with Many a man with a wife and large family as P.C. Adams has would hesitate before venturing into water 5 or 6 feet deep, with a rough sea and the tide coming in." C. W. D., of Willealiall, favours us with the fol- lowing note D, -iring a recent visit to Rhyl, I and some friends were disgusted to see that the beach was being made use of to empty a cart-load of road rubbish. This was done opposite Edward Henry Street, close by the ladies' bathing place, and right in the midst of many children building castles," who seemed to think some fresh build- ing material had been kindly provided for them. I presume the man would not have dared to empty his cart there had he been forbidden to do so in- deed he owned as much when remonstrated with by one of my friends. I am hoping, sir, that this letter will cause the Rhyl Commissioners to issue strict instructions to their pien, forbidding the practice, otherwise many will hesitate to take their children to Rhyl for fresh air when such dirty prac- tices are allowed-practices. that would not be tolerated in the dirtiest of our Black Country towns." A Resident has the following idea of improv- ing the town:—"A lady from this part of the world has gone to stay near London. She describes the house she is staying in as an exceedingly pretty one, with very pretty lattice windows, and bal- conies, and pertinently asks why cannot Rhyl have such pretty residences. Well, lately, we have seen much buildings go on. but I think the most remarkable thing is the quickness, not the taste, with which they are run up. Can we not take a hint and let taste effect some improvement in the detached villas that are springing up here." A Llandudno correspondent writes:—"Four young scions of our noble race visited Llandudno on Sunday. They came in a growler and stayed the day. They patronised the promenade (such as it is), and pushed each other about in bath-chairs, evidently greatly enjoying the proceedings. They were looked upon generally by the promenders as two good young men attending to two good young men invalids, but what was difficult to understand was the frequent changes so far as concerned the personnel of the invalids." THE new lamps for the promenade are being fixed in position. Most probably the improvement will be completed soon after the season has closed and the visitors have left the town. But, don't you see, we want the visitors to see that we are doing something for them." THE town has been unusually full of visitors during the week. The promenade has been literally swarmed each day, and the foreshore amusements have evidently done good business. The children are here in their thousands, and en- joyment is having its full bent. RHTL versus LLANDCDNO.—A gentleman in the Midlands consulted an eminent specialist as to his health, and was ordered to the seaside. I'll go to Llandudno," said the ailing one. The doctor interposed with-" Don't go to Llandudno if you want to get better, to enjoy pure air, and be happy and comfortable, go to Rhyl." And he came As OTHERS SEE us."—A Birmingham corres- pondent writes —" Rhyl of the present day is very much different to what it was 2-1 years a go. The promenade extension, the extension both of the east and west parades, and the buildings erected on all side evidence the regard paid to the comfort of visitors, in short everything appears to be done to meet the approval of the thousands of people who visit your charming town every summer." A. S." writes :—" I was pleased to observe in the Visitors' List" of last week that the names comprised in my list had been correctly printed. I am sure it would materially assist the circulation of your paper if the Visitors' Lists were always correctly inserted, as vistors take a certain amount of pleasure in sending the Visitors' List to their friends at home, but do not send at all if not cor- rectly described." [It is our ambition to secure the correct publication of names, and we endeavour to attain it. But it is difficult to do so in many cases, owing to the indistinct handwriting on sheets supplied. A great proportion of these are written on by the servant-girls in lodging- houses, many of whom have but a very hazy idea of spelling. Some day we shall give specimens. Visitors should have the opportunity of filling up papers themselves. -ED. I

PRESTATYN. CONCERT.—On Monday evening, a grand concert was given in aid of the Welsh Wesleyan Chapel funds. Mr R. Roberts, C.C., of Dyserth Hall, presided. There was a large audience, the new schoolroom being well filled. The following per- sons took part:—Miss Broadfoot (Liverpool), Miss Hughes (Dyserth), Mr Fletcher Jones (Chester). Mr Bethel (Colwyn Bay), and Mr L. E. Thomas (Rhyl;. Miss Broadfoot's singing of "Caller Herrin," "The Zuyder Zee," and the "Kerry Dance" showed great talent, and Miss Griffith's rendered "Calvary" with much feeling. Master Thomas sang very sweetly The Better Land," Angels ever bright fair," and a pretty Welsh song in the minor key. Mr Fletcher .Jones gave "Myosotis" waltz and selections from Maritana on his violin. Mr Bethel supplied the humorous element with his well-rendered comic songs, whicn gave great amusement. Votes of thanks to the performers and the chairman being proposed and seconded, the concert was closed by the sing- ling of the Welsh National Anthem. ACCID.ENT. -An accident, which might have been very serious, happened to Mr John Hughes, coal merchant, while he was returning home with a load of coal on Wednesday afternoon. Some part of the harness broke, and the horse taking fright, knocked Mr Hughes down, and the cart went over him. He was taken home by P.C. Hughes, of Llanasa, who happened to be at hand, and is now- progressing towards recovery. NOTES FROM THE STEEPLE Top. It is fortunate for me that I am perched too'high above ground out of the reach of some people who appear to take umbrage at some of my notes. On Sunday afternoon, whilst casting my eye towards Rhyl, I saw, with my glass, a pitiful sight on the West Parade, to wit, a young lady hurrying homewards with half a dress on. Old Boreas had elevated the other half of the dress to the top of some of the iron railings, and the young lady, thinking no doubt that some unwelcome suitor wished to detain her, rushed forward, with the result stated, that she left that portion of the handsome covering behind. Tradesman are not doing half badly at Prestatyn, for I hear that on Bank Holiday they intend closing their establishment for that day On Saturday a pony belonging to one of the most respectable "citizens" took a very peculiar notion into its head. While waiting near the sea wall, watching its master enjoying a bathe, it suddenly made a dart over the parapet wall, from which perilous position it took the united efforts of about a dozen strong human beings to release it. On Sunday evening took it into my head to attend the concert held at the British School-room, which no doubt your correspondenc will report. The rev. gentleman who acted as conductor did his work well, with the aid of the platform in- spector (by the way a novel addition to the staff of a concert), There were English, Scotch, Irish, and Dutch songs sung, but not one Welsh song did the programme contain in this concert in W ales until au English gentleman in the audience got up and asked to be favoured with one Welsh song. Then the ever-readv platform inspector produced a vocalist in the person of a aon of Vulcan, who gave a representation of the music of Wales. Whose voices do I hear Sunday after Sunday in musical strains along the Promenade ? Why, Prestatyn boys, to be sure and if they have a chance at the next Methodist concert, Prestatyn talent will have a chance of displaying itself.

CHESTER ASSIZES. LOCAL CASES.- Williams v. IVillia-?is. -This was an action for money lent, in which a compromise was effected, whereby the defendant agreed to pay the plaintiff jES6 in discharge of his claim, and also pay the costs of Mr Edw. Roberts, who appeared for the plaintiff, whereupon the pleadings were withdrawn. Owen r. Jones.—The plaintiff in this case was Mr David Owen, of West Parade, Rhyl, who sued Mr Joseph Jones, of the Valentine Inn, Llanddulas, for damages for false misrepresen- tations on the sale of a horse in July last year. The case was tried before the Honourable Sir Arthur Charles, without a jury. Mr Marshall, Q.C., appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr E. H. Lloyd for the defendant. After hearing the plain- tiff and defendant and their witnesses, verdict and judgment were given for plaintiff for JE22 and coBts.—Mr Edward Roberts was solicitor for the plaintiff.

The Pier and Pavilion. SWIMMING CONTEST. The concerts at the pierhead and in the Pavilion during the week have been, as usual, of a high order of excellence. Mr Charles Reynolds' splendid band has proved a great attraction to visitors, and no wonder, considering that each member is a star in his own partieulor line and that Mr Rey- nolds himself is the conductor. The music dis- coursed by the orchestra is at all tiipea of the best and by the leading masters, and this fact has a deal to do with the success of the concerts. The vocalist of the week is Miss Florence Burns, who has nightly been received with ioud plaudits of approval. This lady possesses a sweet, attractive x-oiev ofco,-isiderable rilige -,vhich is effectively used. Several encores have attended her performances, and well they have been deserved Miss Lane has during the week given an ex- hibition off the pierhead of scientific feats in the art of swimming, and her lucid and chatty lectures which accompany her performances prove of, great interest to the assemblies. Professor Beaumont, who holds the 4 minutes 30| seconds under water" record and who has saved over one hundred lives from drowning, has also given exhibitions of ornamental swimming and diving, assisted by Little Alice," who is presumably his daughter. The pierhead attractions are fully deserving of the patronage which is accorded them. Yesterday afternoon, a swimming contest, for prizes of 30s., 20s., and 15s., took place off the head of the pier in the presence of about 600 spectators. The officials of the racing were: Judges, Mr Albert Robinson (who carried out the whole of the arrangements most satisfactorily) and Mr Charles Reynolds handicapper and starter, Mr John Dobbins. The pierhead was gaily decked with bunting, and a starting flag was floating on the water 200 yards to the eastward. The tide was at ebb when the contest commenced. The course was from the flag to the pier. A very heavy sea was running at the time, with a stiff breeze from the North-west. The first heat was contested by John Evans (15 seconds start), James Power (scratch) and R. C. E. Rosney (5 seconds). Power, who holds a first-class az'my certificate for swimming, led the race all the way with a full breast stroke of about thirty to the minute, and he was greeted with loud ap- plause as he neared the pier. Evans gave up when half way home, as he had lost his bathing costume. Power finished with the left side stroke and turned on his back as he passed tho post,amidst loud clapping of hands. Rosney was a good second. Kayana (scratch), A. McCann (scratch), and D. E. Thomas (5 sees.) swam the second heat. The first- named, who keeps the Japanese stall ou the pier, gave up soon after starting and went to the boat. Thomas finished first with a good even breast stroke. In the third heat were Frank Jones, who fell out at the last moment, W. McCann, and J. D. Dowsey. Dowsey gave up when about half the distance had been traversed, and the race was con- sequently a walk over for McCann, who used the same finishing strokes as the winner of the first heat. The final was a good race. Thomas and Power fought hard for supremacy, but Power found he had met his man and gave in, being content with the second prize. Thomas won the race when half way home, by a pretty double-hand stroke, and he was loudly cheered on finishing. His time was 4 minutes 10 seconds. Power was a good second. Originally there were sixteen Entries for the con- test, but only nine competed. During the final round the wind blew stronger, and the time in consequence was considered good. The decision of the judges as to the disposal of the third prize was not known as we went to press, but we believe that they considered McCann was not entitled to it as he did not swim the whole distance. The attractions at the pier and pavilion for next week are published in our advertising columns.

RHYL LIFEBOAT.—A meeting of the local committee was held at the Secretary's office, Town Hall, yesterday, T Griffies Dixon, Èsq., Chairman of the local Branch, in the chair. Mr Eustace Stracey, District Inspector of Lifeboats, was among those present. 7Extract of rninutes-The following letter was read and ordered to be placed on the minutes, viz., "Rhyl, 3rd August 1893, to the Chairman and Members of the Rhyl Branch of the Rhyl National Lifeboat Institution. Gentlernan, -Owing to the extraordinary increase in the duties appertaining to my office as Town Surveyor, I have decided to resign my appoint- ment as Honorary Secretary to the local Branch. I feel very sorry to be compelled to take this step, especially after having filled the post for a quarter of a century; but the circumstances are such, that I cannot, as in years past, devote the necessary time to fill the office as efficiently as the object and nature of the work demands. My interest, however, in the lifeboat work is none the less keen than heretofore.—I am, Gentleman, Yours faithfully, Robt. Hughes, Hon. Secretary." Proposed by T. Griffies Dixon, Esq., seconded by Mr Robert Jones, Foryd, and carried unanimously "That Mr Hughes' resignation be accepted and that the committee place on record that they y are very sorry to lose the services of Mr Hughes, who has acted so efficiently as Honorary Secretary during the last 2o years, and further, that Mr Hughes be, and is hereby, elected a member of the committee of the local Branch; and that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Parent Society in London." Mr T. Griffies Dixon, the chalrman who has been connected with the I Branch for upwards of 35 years, kindly undertakes to write a letter to the Parent Society, expressing the committee's kind feeling towards Mr Hughes, who has been so long associated with the work', and the high appreciation in which his pasf' services are held, I

Wallace Erskine and Charles Macdona's celebrated comedy company, who were here a short time ago, will, at the Town Hall on Monday and Tuesday, August 14th and 15th, produce those two highly successful comedies "Niobe" (all smiles) and Jane." The plot bears a certain resemblance to that of Pygmalion and Galatea," but is incom- parably more humorous, the mirth-exciting power of the piece arising from the awkward situations and ludicrous mistakes caused by the petrified figure of an ancient Grecian Queen. On Tuesday "Jane" will be played. We cannot speak too highly of this well-known comedy; from the rise to the fall of the curtain laughter follows every move- ment, every scene, each grip and crank and flasli of dialogue. Messrs Erskine and Maodona's com- pany is of exceptionally high class, so we advise those who wish to enjoy themselves not to miss paying them a visit during their stay. PRESENTATION OF MEDALS TO CYCLISTS.—An interesting ceremony in connection with the Rhyl Cycling Club took place last Saturday at St. George, \iz., the presentation of medals to the members who have completed the long-dis- tance rides in the stipulated number of hours. The number of cyclists, including ladies, was 31 and a very pleasing sight was presented as they wheeled slowly out of the town. The journey was not of the most agreeable nature owing to a strong head wind and a smart shower ot rain. which fell just as St. George was reached but fortunately shelter was at hand and in a short time all sat down to tea, at the invitation of the officers and committee, at the "Kinmel Arms," Mr and Mrs Duncombe, host and hostess, gave entire satisfaction by their endeavours to make everyone content and comfortable and the meal was thoroughly enjoyed. Afterwards the medals were presented, on behalf of the club, by Mr Aidney to the following gentleman :—Messrs. Bernard Griffiths and T. H. Pincott, a, valuable gold medal each for their ride of 150 miles in 51 hours. Silver medals were presented to Messrs John Evans and John Edwards, and also to Master Harold Connah, for the 100 mile ride in 14 hours. The committee added a silver club badge to the medal given to Master Connah to show their appreciation of his plucky ride, he being only eleven years old and the youngest member but one of the club. After the medals had been given, Mr Aidney, addressing the winners, ilaid: My duty this afternoon has been a very pleasing one and I congratulate you on your success; you have shewn qualities of endurance and judgment in your respective rides, and I am sure you will treasure these momentoes given to you by the Rhyl Cycling Club as long as you live, and I hope you will live long to wear them. May you in your ride through life, never get discouraged 'by any hill that rises in your path, but try to sur- mount it with persevcrence and pluck—may you, in dangerous places, proceed cautiously and apply the brake judiciously, and when the last valley is reached and old Father Time, whom you have lately conquered, conquers you and puts out your lamp, may you submit with fortitude and take II your rest. —Mr John Edwards suitably returned thanks on behalf of the winners and the proceed- ings then terminated. IMPORTANT PROPOSAL.—It is well known that the ravages of scab have for many years past resulted in an annual loss of over one million sterling to the sheepmen in Cape Colony, against which all the efforts of the government backed by an efficient staff of Inspectors have hitherto proved unavailing. In this state of affairs Messrs. Win. Cooper & Nephews, the well-known manufacturers of dips have come forward with a proposal embo- dying an undertaking to cleanse the entire colony of scab within a maximum period of 2i j'ears or a sum of money representing less than one year's loss through that disease. THE LYRIC HALL.-Tlie attraction at the Lyric Hall during the week has been Miss Kate Fedora's talented comedy company, who have not failed to draw good houses. The Lyric Hall management has attained a reputation for first-class catering, and that reputation is enhanced if anything by the performances of the past week. On Monday and on each evening since The Swiss Guide or Mountain Love," a pretty comedy drama in three acts and four scenes, occupied the boards. The piece conveys the audience over a large portion of the globe, the curtain rising on a Swiss village, and the second scene being in a New York street. The incidents are splendidly worked out, and the machinations of the female adventuress, without which no comedy or drama would hardly be complete, are of course in the end frustrated, whilst the workings of a gambler who is included in the caste meet with their own reward. Miss Kate Fedora played the part of Carl, a mountain guide, and her songs and male impersonation were in perfect accord with her ease and grace of pvCtiou. Mr Claude Leslie as Captain Lestrange (a gambler) was perfect, and Mr Claremont Gaskell is entitled to high commendation for his Hert Paulo (a miser). Mr Will Percy, the well- known comedian, assumed the role of Dr. Coffin (a quack) and his general rendition of the part, together with his songs, was funny in the extreme. Mr D'Arcy Walton is entitled to a meed of praise for the manner in which lie interpreted Jacques (a masher) and Miss Charles Manns as Jack Reynard (a loafer) were equally as successful. Miss Rose Maitland played Lizettc to a nicety, and her songs and dances were well received. Miss Adeline Ewers as Gertrude Lestrange (an adventuress) was perfect in her part.—To-night (Friday) and to-morrow "The Gipsy Queen," a new romantic sensational drama, illustrative of gipsy life, in three acts and eight scenes will be performed. Miss Kate Fedora's benefit last even- ing was a great success. CONCERT AT THE Tows HALL.—A grand concert of far more than average merit took place in the Town Hall on Monday evening and it is a matter for regret that though every effort to secure a packed house had been exerted, the audience was not nearly as large as was expected and as the programme and the artistes deserved. As a collation of musical gems, the items comprised in the programme were such as should demand the attendance of lovers of music, and the only explanation for the comparatively small audience is the counter-attractions in the town. The audience, as it was, proved most appreciative, and many of the items were honoured with encores. Mr Victor Hindle as a pianiste gave evidence of superior executive ability, and his interpretations of compositions by Chopin and Beethoven, to say nothing of his accompaniments during the evening, were most rapturously received. Mr R. Y. Sturges is a clever flautist, and he played pieces by Kuklan, E. German, and Terschak in exceed- ingly commendable style. Signor Vinorei con- tributed two violin solos by De Beriot and T'apiiii, and a third from his own pen. He handled a fine old violin and, with a masterly bow, he acquitted himself admirably. He is a violinist of no mean order; his execution is perfect and he throws plenty of stage effect" into the bow manipula- tion; A pizzicato passage in one of the solos was highly appreciated by the audience, and the performance of Signor Vinorci throughout stamped him as a violinist worthy the name. Madame Laura Howarth, who has appeared at the Liver- pool Philharmonic and Sir Charles Halle's Man- chester concerts, contributed, in fine cultured soprano, Dudley Buck's ever-popular "When the heart is young," Rossini's "Una voce," and "A damsel fair was singing" (Gauz), the audience vociferously re-calling the artiste. Mr W. H. Atkinson was the other vocalist, and he sang that sublime composition Honour and arms from Handel's Samson, a.nd III Balenf" from Verdi's Trovatore, with remarkable effect and great success. As a concert, the proceedings were successful in the superlative degree. Z.

THe WATER SUPPLY.—The Water Committee continue to direct their attention to the prevention of the waste of water. They have stopped enormous leakages, and consumers' attention is directed to a fresh notice published in another column. THE COAL CRISIS.-The Gas Committee is to be heartily congratulated on the saving likely to accrue by the contract recently entered into for coal, in view of the present crisis. We believe that the present stock will supply the town for three months again and as it was bought before prices bepaii to rise, the significance of the fact will be appreciated. THE BOTANICAL GARDENS. These charming resorts arc becoming a favourite attraction for visitors. Mr Roberts has made great improve- ments there of late and has added summer-houses for the comforts of visitors. The gardens are a charming change from the glaring sands. Next Sunday, through the kind permission of the Col. and Bandmaster, the splendid band of the Welsh Fusiliers will play a selection of sacred music in the Gardens, commencing at 7.30 p.m., it beina the first time for music to echo its charming strains in the Rhyl Paradise." LOCAL CYCLISTS' LONC DISTANCE RIDE.-On Tuesday night, while the majority of the good people of this town were snug in bed, three mem- bers of the Rhyl Cycling Club, viz., Mr H. T. Roberts (captain), Mr Walter Davies, and Mr John Edwards, were pedalling along the Vale of Clwyd under such conditions of road and weather as would make the best of riders feel disheartened. Much heavier rain had fallen in the Vale than we had felt in Rhyl, and the roads were reduced to a state resembling Yorkshire pudding before it is baked, through which the cycles plunged like large sized egg-beaters, and the back wheels of each machine "skidded" continually; in places, the road-surface was covered with water, and to make matters worse, rain continued to fall at intervals.' Riders of pneumatics will readily realise the situa- tion. At St. Asaph, Edwards came a cropper and returned home with disabled cycle, but pluckily started again on a fresh mount, and by another route, and eventually completed 150 miles in 2Ll hours, which will entitle him to the club gold medal. Edwards also holda the silver medal for the lOO. mile ride. Davies wisely retired at Chirk, with the idea of making another attempt under more favourable conditions on reaching home he had covered a distance of 50 miles. Capt. H. T. Roberts, with his nsuaf grit, pushed ou alone, and arrived at West Felton at (j a.m., and then decided to abandon his original idea of riding 200 miles, considering the adverse circumstances, and go for the 150 mile medal. Shrewsbury and Shifnal were passed, and then Wolverhampton was reached a short rest followed, and the return journey was commenced with the wind dead ahead when Shrewsbury was again reached. Roberts was suffering from rheumatism in the right knee, owing to getting wet in the night, but he pluckily pushed on to Oswestry, thus completing the 150 miles in 20 hours and 25 minutes. Roberts' time, start and finish:—Rhyl, 10-10 p.m., Tuesday; Oswestry, 6-35 p.m., Wednesday. TII most dangerous part of a home is tho scullery sink. A packet of It UD80: S' EXTRACT or SOAP or I fcluogoNs' Day SOAP in a bucket of hot wftter, poured down th-3 sink every week, removes all dangerous decomposing matter.

THE Liverpool Journal of Commerce says the minister of the interior of Canada has requested the Canadian High Commissioners to invite two tenant farmers from Wales to visit the different provinces of Canada next month, with the view to investigate and report upon the agricultural resources of the country. Travelling facilities will be provided and actual out of pocket expensesdefrayed. The missian will probably occupy about two months. Application from persons to whom toe invitation may be acceptable may be made to John Dyke, Canadian Government agent, 15, Water Street, Liverpool. Applications will only be entertained from those actually engaged in farming, who are well known in the district from which they come, who are in a position to leave for Canada early in August, and who can produce testimony from a number of other farmers that their reports will be acceptable. Equal consider- ation will be given to application from tenant farmers whose operations are conducted on a com- paratively small scale as from those who farm move expensively. Applications from properly qualified agricultural labourers are also invited.

THE ROYAL WELSH LAND COMMIS- SION. Lord Stanley of Alderley, in the August number of the National Review" has a slashing attack on the Welsh Land Com- mission. He shows the fishy character of the questions sent out by authority of the commissioners. As to the famous incident of the young labourer of 25 who married a widow of 50, the noble critic thinks the question of one commissioner, who wanted to know if such a young man might not be a comfort to such a woman, a good example of the wisdom that prevails in the inquiry. Other questions suggest to Lord Alderley the hand of a Trades Unionist, and still others deep ignorance of Welsh rural life. His Lordship thinks there is no more ground for the grievance suggested by an agitator that Welsh tenants are affected by a difference of language, politics, and religion between the landlord and tenant than there is in England. Lord Stanley of Alderley has found it is impossible to understand what was said to him in Derbyshire as in Wales, and he holds that a great deal of nonsense is talked about the pretended necessity for the use of the Welsh language. He finds that 800,000 inhabitants of the Principality are English-speaking, 450,000 n In 7 bi-lingual, and only 350,000 Welsh-speaking. As to creed and politics, speaking as a Welsh landowner, Lord Stanley says he has never Aaken any account of them, bar if predatory ideasare to obtain he may do so. The questions 11 are all too leading, he thinks. He shows from his own experience that the pretence of Mr Ellis that Welsh tenants want leases are unfounded, and as to fixity of tenure, in. North Wales only 30 landloids out of 190 have had any evictions on their estates, and one of those only evicted one tenant out of 1,800. He also cites his own experience with the department of Woods and Forests to show what an evil change it would be for tenants from a private landlord to the State. As to the rest, Lord Stanlev of Alderley is confident that his Anglesea tenants live in more comfort than his Cheshire tenants. He also shows that there is no real dislike to all the game preservation that is carried on, and that the pretended restraints on farming operations are mythical. — —

Music ON THE PROMENADE.—Messrs Gilding & Jones' band has during the week given delightful evening performances on the promenade bandstand which have been highly appreciated by the numerous assemblies of visitors and residents. The band is deserving of every support for its efforts in providing an appropriate two hours' programme nightly for the delectation of the people, and, in addition to this, its membership comprises performers of high rank and great ability, who in return for their services ask for the public support. The programmes presented are made up of items by the leading and favourite composers, and the attractiveness of the al fresco concerts are greatly enhanced by the vocal performances of Mr C. S. Gilding. During the week such songs as The old cathedral bell (Cramer), The gal- lants of JNiiigland (Scott Gatty), "Tom Hardy" (H. Smart)—all of a descriptive nature—have been sung by Mr Gilding with marked effect; but the gem of the week was "The village blacksmith" on Wednesday evening, the rendering of which was most cordially appreciated. Mr J. R. Wil- liams, a local humorous vocalist, has contributed each evening to the programme a* couple of comic or topical songs. THE PALACE THEATRE.—The Summer Gardens are now at their best, and all who enjoy a peep at exotic beauty should not fail to visit them. The management are apparently most anxious—judging more particularly from the announcements for the holiday week which appear in another column-to cater for the amusement of the public as thoroughly and in as attractive a manner as possible. A novel and pretty transparency has been fixed at the promenade entrance to the gardens, announcing the performances of Mr EdwinKeene's talented comedy company iu the G.and Palace Theatre, and this has proved successful in directing good and appre- ciative audiences thither. Of the performers and their relative, individual, and collective abilities, we have already treated. Suffice it to say that the performances have continued with even greater success than hitherto. The programme is frequent- ly changed, and the resources of the members of the combination are well brought out in con- sequence. Chipps in Japan," a composition by Mr Edwin Keene, is by far the most attractive item in the repertoire, and on Monday it was performed with a precision and with the success worthy of the company. A more energetic, hard- working, and unassuming little company has never visited the town with such results and all who have not already witnessed the representation should lose no time. The change in the cast of Chipps in Japan "—Miss Marie Ashton taking the place of a member who has left the company- is evidence of the desire of the inimitable Keene to secure the best possible abilty. Miss Ashton has talent of an order which, though faulty in oneor two trifling applications, is destined with proper cul- ture to secure for her a name in her profession. Mr Besley Beltran is a versatile artiste he can apparently turn his hand to anything, and he invariably comes off with the greatest success. Mr Alec. G. Pearson and Mr Edwin Keene acquit themselves atall times with deserved high honours; and Mr Walter Ascott, who evidently has not had many long years' experience of stage work, will with care make an exceedingly clover artiste a little more self-assertion and confidence in his own efforts and reliability would stand him in good stead. It would be useless to dwell further upon the merits of the other members of the company- Miss M. Montgomery and Miss Kate Reeves; their praises have long been sung. Altogether Mr Keene's company is a conglomeration of stage talent of every conceivable variety. THE EXTRAORDINARY TAKINGS OF MR. STUART CUMBERLAND.—The other day the Levant Herald gave a list of the receipts netted by Mr Stuart Cumberland "in different parts of the world, by which it appears that Mr Cumberland has drawn larger aud more remunerative audiences than, with the single exception of Rubinstein, any other single-handed performer. In Cairo, Mr Cumberland took 9386 in one performance, in Berlin close upon jMOO, in St. Petersburg E480, in Barcelona :1470 in Vienna over £ 500 a night, in Edinburgh over £ 1,000 in five nights, in New York over f,900 in two nights. During his recent tour in the Levant his receipts were as high as those netted by Sarah Bernhardt. Of course, in some places where the audiences do not understand his wonderful art and the remarkable powers of Miss Phyllis Bentley, the receipts have been correspondingly small. But Rhyl will, we Venture to think, not be behind other intelligent towns, and will give him as large an audience as hitherto given him by any town of its size anywhere. RHYL HOCKEY CLUB.—A meeting of the Rhyl Hockey Club was arranged to be held last evening, but the secretary and treasurer (Mr Berrington) sent an intimation that he was unable to attend, and consequently the business proposed could not be proceeded with, no balance sheet being presented. MILK AND AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS.—At a meeting of local milk sellers held last night at the Alexandra Hotel, Mr J. B. Linnell in the chair, it was resolved to raise the price of milk from 3d to 4d'per quart on account of the scarcity of pro- vendor and the general advance in prices of feeding stuffs. This course has been expected for some time, and in view of the present conditions, it ia rather to be surprized at that the dairymen have struggled so long to supply milk at the old price.
