NEWS AND NOTES.
NEWS AND NOTES. An important decision was given by the Judge at the St Asaph County Court on Friday last, and it is one which affects the town of Rhyl and its health in many respects. The Rhyl Improvement Commissioners sued under the powers conferred upon them by the Public Health Act to recover a certain sum for the maintenance of a fever case in the Isolation Hospital. The decision of the Judge clearly lays it down that had the patient been a person in a position to pay the very low charge made by the Commissioners, he would have been compelled by law to do so. But while the liability of the patient could not be enforced in consequence of his being a minor, the fact remains that there is the possibility of the Rhyl Improvement Com- missioners in the future taking every precaution to make a responsible person answerable for the expenditure in such cases. # This case opens up a question which should be considered in the broadest sense, and not through, as it were, legal spectacles, with their usual bundle of red-tape. Were the Commissioners well advised in taking such a course is a question which might be asked, and answered by a negative. To urge upon persons the necessity of patients being removed to an isolation hospital and then to make a charge, no matter how small, will not commend itself to those who are anxious to keep the town of Rhyl in a healthy condition. We have here the Infectious Diseases Notifica- tion Act in force, which compels all medical practitioners to at once send to the Medical Officer of Health prompt intimation of cases of an infectious character. In adopting that Act, we take i that the authorities have the best interest of the town at heart, but by insisting upon payment for patients at the public isolation hos- pital they are helping to defeat the very objects which they seek to further. There are many people who would prefer to have their sick ones near at hand and in their own homes in anv case but how much greater will be their objection to the removal of the patient to an isolation hospital if they find that they have in addition to other e spenses to pay in hard cash for attention and food at the hospital ? Instead of encouraging people to send their sick away to a place of safety, the Commissioners by their action are doing the very thing to prevent them leaving home, and thus helping to spread disease. The coat to the ratepayers of maintaining cases at the Hospital is nothing when compared with the safety afforded the public, and we say that it will be far better if the Commissioners refrained from making any charge for cases taken there. No doubt we shall be met with the plea that the Board have no power to incur such an expense, but there are ways and means of sur- mounting those difficulties, as well as in charging a person 60 per cent. less than it actually costs for maintenance in the hospital. Alderman Howard at the County Council meeting defended himself against the attacks of his Liberal friends, but while he treated the whole subject with the seriousness which it deserved, those he was attacking made very light of it. In fact, they appeared to think the whole affair nothing but a huge joke; no doubt the best possible way for our Liberal friends to escape from the very awkward position in which they found themselves. I But the alderman, who was told so plainly at a former meeting that he was tô answer to the whip of the party to whom he owed his seat, was determined to show that he had some indepen- dence, and not only did he stand to the position which he bad taken up, but he justified it. How many of the Liberal councillors would be so able to justify their actions on many of the important questions? The reply which Mr Elwy Williams made to Alderman Howard plainly shows that a party spirit has prevailed all along, but we are certain that if asked, very few of those who laughed at, and ridiculed the idea of an alderman defending himself, would be prepared to admit it. Alderman Howard deserves to be complimented on the stand he has taken, but we think that he may yet possibly have cause to realise the truth- fulness of the old saying, Save me from my friends." « There is a difference of a marked character in two public bodies in Flintshire. The County Council are said to have given over about X50 per annum by their refusal to ask the, Post Office anthorities rent for the poles placed on the county roads. The St Asaph Highway Board, on the other hand, are more exacting. There was a difference of opinion as to the number of poles on the district roads, and the only way to settle the question was by the simple method of counting them. That was accordingly done, but still the Post Office people delay in sending on the cash. With the County Council it is considered that the telegraph poles are for the public good, but the St Asaph Highway Boards put on one side that view of the case, and most politely say that unless the money due is forthcoming they will carry the matter on a step further. • This case recalls to mind the action taken by the Post Office a few years ago in South Wales. Not only did they cause the postman carrying the mails to demand a free passage in a ferry-boat, but when the ferryman refused they brought up an old Act of Parliament and prosecuted the poor fellow for his refusal. Like the County Council of Flintshire the Post Office considered that the post- man was working for the public good, but the ferryman, no doubt, looked upon the matter with the matter of business eyes of the St Asaph Highway Board. • • • There will be a little interesting discussion and argument at the adjourned licensing sessions at St. Asaph on Wednesday. It is said that the Rhuddlan publicans have determined not to accept the six-day licenses which certain parties are anxious to provide them with. Both sides are working hard, and it is rumoured that there is likely to be a full attendance of justices on that occasion. The action of their worships in granting an adjournment has been well discussed, and commented upon in certain quarters, and we await the outcome on Wednesday next. # While speaking of these licensing matters perhaps it will not be out of place to refer to a suggestion which is being acted upon by the publicans of a district in England. The police there have come down rather heavily on the publicans over the bona fide traveller question. It has now been decided to act upon an excellent idea by which the innkeepers can protect themselves from such persons as try to get drink by giving false addresses. Each customer before being served will be asked where he comes from, and then requested to sign his correct name and address in a book provided for the purpose. He will also have to write down the name of the place which he has stated he has travelled from, and then in the event of a police raid, the book will be a proof that the publican is not at fault. A magistrate recently stated that the word traveller" was in. sufficient, and that before serving a customer a publican should satisfy himself that the man had come some distance. In the event of a man being served wrongly, the book will be an absolute proof of his deceit, but so far the publican has to find out whether or no, he can force the signing of the book, or whether a man can be refused drink if he objects to sign. If the publicans at Rhuddlan refuse to acsept the six-day licenses what can the justices do ? Will th?y refuse to grant any licenses at all ? It must be all or none. ♦ The licensing sessions just now held briDg to licenses.3 we notkethjitnoi England Temperance. the Cha°rCh of procure, if posible, the repeal of tiie Wine Mu Refreshment House Act of 1860. This measure is that which authorised grocers' license. Medical cpinion asserts, and with little reserve, that it has led to an enormous quantity of secret drinking, especially among women. Its opponents are willing that a less universal enactment should be substituted in its stead. For instance, they would not object to the sale of wines and spirits by grocers in places where the public house is the only alternative. But in large towns, where wine merchants are easily accessible, they see no reason why the act should continue in force. The opposi- tion will probably take the form of a Parlia- mentary inquiry in the first instance, but the temperance party does not intend that its efforts shall stop there. The Radical teetotallers are, however, much embarrassed by the circumstance that Mr Gladstone was the author of grocers' licenses. « No one with the least bit of common sense could ever have thought that the Joint Com mittee appointed by Denbighshire and Flintshire would be able to agree as to the altered boundary of the counties when" there are so many and contending interests to be considered and satisfied. It has now transpired that there is no hope of the Committee ever agreeing unless one county is prepared to let the other give and take just what it thinks best. Neither will do this, and so it has been decided, after all these months of delay,,to ask the Local Government Board to settle it. # This failure is but an example of what the Radical party can do in the way of legislating. On every hand it is admitted that the Government made a mesa of the Parish Councils Bill. It has been found that in the Revision Courts that considerable difficulties will arise through it. One of the most promient Revising Barristers declared on Friday that The Act is very badly drawn," while the city of London official in charge of the lists at the court stated that the Act was full of errors and contradictions." And yet it is the same party who pride themselves on being able to make an Act for Disestablishing the Church in Wales # No less than 20 per cent of the samples of food submitted to the County Analyst during the past quarter were found to be adulterated. The adul. terated articles consisted of samples of spirits and milk. The samples found to be all right were those of beer, port wine, butter, coffee and pepper. The following extract from the report will certainly interest many In the case of one of the sam- ples of Milk, proceedings were not taken as the amount of adulteration (calculated on the Somerset House limit) was only 4 per cent, but if a sample had been obtained direct from the cows, as I sug- gested should be done, in all probability a convic- tion might have been readily obtained, and I beg respectfully to suggest that in cases of this kind the Inspectors be empowered to take a sample for confirmation direct from the cows, for it will either clear the milk seller of any intention of fraad or else enable the Inspector to obtain a con- viction. This plan is accepted in several other districts for which I am Analyst and has worked very satisfactorily." Rhyl has been favoured with a very fair share of the visitors who have been to North Wales this season, and if we believe what the residents of Llandudno, Colwyn Bay and Abergele say, it has had no cause for complaint. All the visitors to Rhyl came by train, and it will be interesting to learn that the Board of Trade report on the number and nature of railway accidents which have occurred during the first half of the present year gives occasion for a little more satisfaction than many of the previous statements. Two person only were killed, neither of whom was a passenger; but 73 passengers received injuries, along with 27 railway employes. In the corres- ponding period of 1893 the total number of killed was 6, and of injured 235. There were nine collisions during the six months between passen. ger trains and 17 collisions between goods and mineral trains, 213 tyres failed, 4 trains left the rails, 5 trains ran into stations at too high a speed, and in 6 cases the machinery failed and caused casualties. The risks of railway travelling are being steadily diminshed, but they cannot yet be regarded aa at a minimum. J At last The official regulations governing the forthcoming Parish Council Elections have been issued to the overseers of every rural parish and to the Clerks of Poor Law Guardians. The first parish meeting for the election of Parish Councils is to be held on Tuesday, December 4th, not earlier than six o'clock in the evening. As in the case of the old vestry meetings, the Overseers will have to give notice to the public not later than Saturday, November 24th, thus allowing nine clear days' notice. It will be well to observe that the Chairman of the parish meeting will not be able to preside over the assembly if he is nominated as a Councillor. If he decides to go to the poll he must at once vacate the chair, and call upon the meeting to select another chairman. That is a very wiqe precaution. The election will take place by show of hands, and to prevent any confusion, the names are to be submitted to the meeting in alphabetical order. If no poll is demanded the persons elected as parish Councillors will take office on December 13th. Special regulations are made regarding the taking of a poll, where demanded. After the election by show of hands is made, the Chairman is to allow an interval of ten minutes, during which time the demand'for a poll, if there is one, is to be made. The poll can take place on Satur- day, Monday, Tuesday, or Wedneeday, December 15th, 17th, 18th, and 19th, or it may, for special reasons, be fixed by the County Council, which body will also decide the hours for polling. They are bound to have the poll open between six and eight o'clock in the evening. If the parish is divided into polling districts, and if an elector has property in different parts of the district, he can please himself where he votes, but he can only vote once. It is left to the Returning Officer- who has the ri<*ht of giving a casting vote (if he is a parochial elector) in the event of an equality of votes—to decide the number and situation of polling districts. One polling place is supposed to be sufficient for every 500 of population, and the same station is to be used for the election of Parish Councillors and of any rural District Coun- cillors to be elected on the same date.
ST. ASAPH BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
ST. ASAPH BOARD OF GUARDIANS. NEW CONTRACTS. Yesterday, the fortnightly meeting of the above Board was held at the Boardroom in the Workhouse. There were present: Messrs Edwin Morgan (chairman), T Howes Roberts and Hugh Parry (vice-chairmen), Joseph Lloyd, Joseph Jones, John Roberts (Geinas),J Vaughan, Jacob Jones, Thos. Evans, Joseph Roberts, R Davie?, J McMurray, Jones (Tremeirchion), Lloyd (Berthewig), Lloyd (Gwaenynog Bach), and C Grimsley (Clerk to the Board). Reports, The Master reported that there were 98 inmates in the Workhouse, as against 99 last year. There were 120 vagrants relieved during the fortnight. He also reported that he had received a parcel of papers and books from Mr. Coxhead, Rhyl, for the use of the inmates. It was decided to thank Mr Coxhead for his gift. Miss Owen, Industrial Trainer, was granted on her application, a fortnight's holiday. The Ladies' Visiting Committee reported that they had visited the Workhouse on the 14th, and found everything satisfactory. Mr Bircham, the Local Government Board Inspector, also reported that he had visited the Workhouse on the 17th inst,, and found every- thing very clean. No complaints were made by the inmates. He drew special attention to the present system of sanitary arrangements, as they caused offences. Mr Evans remarked that the inspector always wanted to put some expense on the ratepayers. There were plenty of good judges as well as the Inspector. The Master thought that they had better wait a little while to see whether the Rhyl Improve- ment Commissioners would give them a proper supply of water. Mr Joseph Lloyd suggested that the Board would do well to try the new automatic flushing tanks, by means-of which waste water can be utilised. Mr Roberts (Geinas) failed to ~A- 4!o." \.I should spend monev t jfli^TT" to leave tfee matter in the hands or the Visiting Oou^utee, the Chairman impress.; ing upon members the necessity of attending the meetings of that Committee. Letters. A letter was received from Mr McMurray thanking the Board for their condolence on the death of his wife. The Local Government Board wrote approving of the appointment of Dr Hughes as Medica Officer for the Abergele District at X70 per year. Parish Councils. A copy of the official rules for Parish Council" Elections was received and laid before the Board. The Clerk to the County Council also wrote informing the Board that the copy of the resolu- tion passed at the last meeting respecting the number of guardians for the Union was duly re- ceived, but that no order had yet been made respiting the Board of Guardians and its repre- sentation. Mr Joseph Jones thought he had seen it reported that the number of Parish Councillors had been fixed. The Clerk agreed, and stated that it was the District Council representation which had not been fixed. The Board were also informed that a Parish Council Inquiry would be held at Prestatyn on October 1st at 1 p.m. Audit. The Auditor acquainted the 'Board of the fact that he had fixed the audit for October 12th. Contracts. The following tenders were accepted for the supply of goods for the Workhouse Bread, Wm Williams and Co., Rhyl; flour and. oatmeal, Jones and Son, St Asaph and Rhyl; meat, Thos Davies, Denbigh: cheese, Jones and Son; tea, Randall, Woollatt and Co., London coffee, Henderson and Co., Liverpool sugar (moist), Telley, Son and Layton, London sugar (loaf), currants, mustard, split peas. rice, treacle. paraffin oil, pale soap, mottled soap, candles, Jones and Son, St Asaph; pepper, Telley, Son & Leyton tobacco (smoking), Wm Williams and Co., Rhyl twist tobacco, Jones and Son coal, S Powell, St Asaph hosiery, Elizabeth Ann Williams, Rhyl; ticking, shirting, swansdowri, towelling, flannel, shawls, Roberts and Co.; blankets, quilts, material for boys' trousers, T J Williams, Denbigh; boots, Isaac Morris, Denbigh. Mr Joseph Lloyd considered that the Board should as far as possible patronize local trades- men, and that the same person supplying sugar should also have the order for the tea. ° It having been stated that the lowest tender for coals was net accepted because the regulations were not complied with, the abcrve tenders were accepted. Deserted Women, The Board had before them several deserted women and investigated their cases with a view to reducing the number of such persons charge. able to the Union. The only case of interest was that of a woman from Denbigh, who said she was 68 years of age and that her husband who had been in prison five times for deserting her, was not to be compared with her first husband whose very ground she worshipped. She would never live with her present husband, and had never loved hina. She had only married him so that she could go off the rates. The Board granted each one the same out-relief as before.

RUPTURE TRUSS ES.-Referring to the inquiry made by a correspondent recently in our columns, the following extract from the Lancet, August 4, 1894, will be interesting:—" The Link Shell Truss Co., 17lt Wardour Street, London, W., have a new trass. It is claimed that by this method of manufacture a truss is provided which wiil be more comfortable than the one in ordinary, use, and better able to adapt itself to the various movements of the body, especially if these are of a sudden character. The truss is fitted with a hip. joint regulator, by means of which the pressure is increased or diminished as required, and with a soft shell pad perforated for ventilation. The truss as thus completed is an efficient one. Fall particulars are sent free by the Link Shell Truss Co.—Glasgow Evening lSewa, August 7, 1894.

A BICYCLE FEAT OF 200 MILES…
A BICYCLE FEAT OF 200 MILES WITHIN 24 HOURS. Mr Gecrge Moss, of this town, a member of the Rhyl C.C. (the premier club of North Wales), was anxious to test his new Quadrant Road Racer, and last Friday evening, being a nice moonlight night, he started punctually at mid- night, from the Rhyl Town Hall, with a view of gaining the gold medal and clasp given by the club to any member accomplishing 200 miles in 24 hours. Messrs Connah and Ingleby were the starters, Messrs Parry, W Gunner, Jos Roberts, and Ike Highway accompanied Mr Moss as far as Denbigh. The night was beautifully light until between 3 and 4 o'clock a,m, there was then a partial eclipse of the moon, when it became very dark until the break of day at 5 a.m., at that time Mr Moss was at Gwyddelwern doing justice to a good breakfast which he was fortu- nate to get at the house of an early rising butcher. He had now 50 miles to his credit. He started off at 5.45 for Oswestry, where he arrived at 8 a.m. A little more coffee here, and then ho started at 8.15 for Rhyl. When he was within four miles of Rhyl he had the misfortune to snap the chain of his bicycle, through his handkerchief having dropped and getting entangled in the back cog-wheel. Mr Moss bad to resort to walking, but. when he was within two miles of Rhyl, Mr Harold Oonnah, who bad met him at Ruthin earlier, overtook him and exchanged machines. Rhyl was reached at 1.55 p.m. Saturday, with 120 miles to his credit. Having partaken of dinner at home (the chain of the machine being repaired at the same time), he made another start at 3 p.m. for Chester, which was reached at 5.50 p.m. Here a telegram was sent by Mr Geo Moss to Mr Connah, stating "Everythingall right." He left Chester at 6.15 p.m., reaching Mostyn at 8.30 p.m. Here Messrs Middleton, Jos Roberts, and Ike Highway again met and accom- panied him safely to Rhyl, arriving at 9.30 p m., with 187 miles to his credit. Having rested at home for half an hopr, to partake of supper, he punctually left Rhyl again at 10 p.m. (Saturday) in company of Mr Connah, for the remaining 13 miles, being If miles beyond Abergele and back, arriving at Rhyl at 11.12 p.m., Saturday evening, completing the 200 miles in 23 hours and 12 minutes, being 48 minutes to his credit of the 24 hours.

--NOTES BY THE RAMBLER.
NOTES BY THE RAMBLER. The event of the week has undoubtedly been George Moss's 200-mile gold medal rido. Moss tried some two months back to ride the 200 for this medal, but owing to insufficient training he had to give up when only 40 miles from home. This time he made no mistake, careful arrange- ments, longer training, and steady pace ensured a success which has been very popular. I wonder how the committee of the Rhyl Cycling Club feel over the large expenditure for medals they have been put to this season p I should think they will raise the standard next year. i Do the public realise what 200 miles in 21 hours means ? Let any man try to walk 30 miles or anyone possessing a horse try to ride 100 miles, and they will have some respect for the cyclist who has accomplished his 200. I regret to hear that we are not to have the Masquerade Carnival this year. Why is it that things are allowe(&od,- out in Rhyl so easily and rapidly ? Evcfx certainty, in such a ueteiiiunation.. Are there no public spirited men left in the towr. ? I may be met with the reply of The Commissioners," butil look upon that body as the least publio spirited of the lot. Many of them are simply seekers after their own ends. The true public spirited man in my opinion is the man who takes up questions which are neglected by others questions which are for the good of the town, but to which no reward is attached, fno title given to the worker, and no thanks expected or sought. Honest man, where art thou? I have heard from one of our local tradesmen that a gymnasium is about to be started in the town, and if it is in the hands of the gentleman named to me I may predict that it will be a success. It is greatly wanted. Young fellows of an athletic turn have then cycle, football, or hockey, during the daylight, but at night, and especially during the long winter evenings, they must feel lost, and such an institution in Rhyl will certainly be a great boon. All large towns have one, and Mr Gladstone takes the greatest interest in the one attached to the institute at Hawarden. I trust, however, it will ba more centrally situated than the one organized by the cycle club some 4 or 5 years ago, and which waS held at the Winter Gardens. Where (oh) where is our Yachting Club! Is it lost; already ? If not, a line to Rambler," Journal Office, as to its movements and pro- gramme will be thankfully received, andif wished made use of in these columns. I am wishful to make these notes as interesting as possible. If anyone has anything of interest to bring before the public, a line to the Rambler, Journal Office, will 'be the means of ensuring the matter having publicity. Talking of the sea reminds me of a long-felt want, i.e., a small hut or boating house and stage up the river. There are many gentlemen in Rhyl who would take to boating if it were not for the want of proper accommodation for their boats and a placo to land at. I am not advocating the erection of a huge boathouse to take in the boats, but a small hut to store one's sails, rowlocks, oars, &c., in and also a small stage to land at. It is impossible to land at any point up the river with comfort owing to the fearful slime and mud, and as for taking a lady up there, the thing is out of the question. I am quite certain that if such accommodation was provided it would mean a large trade being done in boats, winter occupation found for some of the boatmen at the Foryd, and be the means of many more people settling in Rhyl. A gentleman who comes here from the Midlands every spring has to go away elsewhere regularly for his Autumn holiday, because he then likes a little boating and shooting. He tried Rhyl this autumn, but said the filthy mud and absence of accommodation for landing would deter him from coming again. These little conveniences are what tend to make a place popular, but our local authorities never seem to dream of tackling such. I presume they would not cost enough

The Great North Wales Horse…
The Great North Wales Horse Sales at Wrexham, We have again much pleasure in calling our readers' attention to Mr Frank Lloyd's horse sales to be held in his extensive repository at Wrexham next week. The sales commence on Tuesday with waggon and light lurry horses; Wednesday foals of all classes and young horses and a few mares; Thursday, harness horses and hunters, including the Barmouth Coaching Teams, and Friday will comprise a fine selection of cobs and ponies. The entries now exceed 1,000, principally bred in Wales and the surrounding Counties of Shropshire and Cheshire. High class sires have been used in the locality for years and the animals of either classes are of the best, with hardy constitu- tions, and the best wearing leg and feet. Buyers in want of genuine sound horses will do well to attend Wrexham next week. Every branch is conducted on strictly business principles, all horses are guaranteed, and two clear days' trial is allowed purchasers. Without a doubt this is the great secret of the success of the gigantic sale. Full particulars will be found in our advertising columns.

THE RHYL LIFEBOAT CREW.-On Saturday last the crew, of the Rhyl Lifeboat were honoured by being ivited to take part in a Saturday Lifeboat Demonstration at Nottingham. The crew consisted of Thomas Evans, (coxswain), Joseph Hughes, (second coxswain), John Evans, (bowman), Robert Meredith, John Middleton. Robert Hughes, Charles 5^e3' J-^ard 7aughan, Isaac Williams, William Williams, John Jones, John Kennie Jones, and Joseph Jones. Speaking of the procession a Nottingham contemporary stated that the main feature was the lifeboat Worcester Cadet manned by a noble crew (from Rhyl). The boat has a remarkable history, as it was one of the boats used in taking off the passengers of the steam- ship Eider, of Brennan, when she ran ashore on the South Coast of England a couple of years ago. Everywhere the Rhyl crew were afforded an enthusiastic reception. The lifeboat was success- fully launched, and exhibitions of life-saving carried out. On Sunday the Rhyl crew were present at the "lifeboat service" held at the Albert Hall. Mr J Pierce Lewis, Solicitor, Rhyl. who is the local secretary, of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, has received the following letter Nottingham, 17th Sept,, 1894. My dear Sir,—The Rhyl Lifeboat Crew were good'enough to stay and help the rigger to put the boat on her carriage this morning, and thereby missed the earlier train. They left us at 1.20, and I trust will arrive home safely. They will doubtless tell you of the enthusiastic reception which our townspeople accorded to them, and I am sure the hi highest credit is due to the coxswain and the men for the way in which they represented this noble institution during their visit. My Committee trust that they will have a good impression of our town and townspeople, and to assure them of the pleasure it has given my Committee to entertain them. I am, my dear Sir, Yours faithfully, Frederic William Fox, Secretary." OUR BoYs' BRIGADE is giving a concert in the Town Hall on Thursday next, the 27th, commencing at eight o'clock. The object, we understand, is to raise funds to procure instruments for a brass band. Aptommas, brother of the Queen's harpist, our talented townsman Mr Amos Jones, R.A.M., Miss Burton, who became so popular last winter, Mr Fleet, Chester, and last, but not least, some of the boys of the Brigade, compose the artistes. We xeel sure the public will do all they can to support such an excellent movement, the sole object of which is to raise the tone of the boys of Rhyl. WE understand that Mr Hubert O'Grady will make his first appearance on the stage this season with his own companies and in his own plays on October 8th. I "LES CLOCHES DE CORNEVILLE" AT THE OPERETTA HOUSE.—Mr William Hogarth's Comic Opera Company performed the very popular opera Les I Cloches de Corneville, at the Operetta House during the first three nights of this week. The opera was produced in a very complete manner,' and deserved the liberal support which it received. The opera is famous for the grand opportunties afford by the character of Gaspard, the Miser." The play is associated with a legend supposed to be attached to the Chateau de Corneville, which runs, that the bells will be rung by unseen hands when the heir returns. The son of the former owner of the chateau is supposed to be drowned at sea with his son, and the steward of the estate, Gaspard hoards the money as a miser, believing that the heir to the property will never return. He choses the old Chateau as the safest place, and and in order to prevent the villagers approaching his hoard he nightly goes through a sort of ghost dance by the window. In consequence, the villa- gers believe the place is haunted. The heir does return, and surprises Gaspard playing miser-like with his gold. The bells of the tower ring out at the time, and believing that his old master has risen from the dead, Gaspard becomes mad, but regains his senses in time to place a young lady Germaine, who he has reared as his niece, in his station. As the Marquis de Corneville Mr William Hogarth's impersonation was splendid. His natural bearing is suited to such a part. The principal character is that of Gaspard." It was take by Mr_ David Beattie with great ability. His face was a perfect study in the many trying scenes through which he passed, especially so when he lost his reason and become the maniac. He portrayed a miser suddenly discoverel with his gold with splendid effect. He did not over do the character, and it was this fact which added to the success of the piece. The funny men were the Baillie (Mr Harry Melbourne) and Gobo (Mr Ernest Heathcote). They worked well together, and introduced puns with great success. Mr Heathcote also gave a splendid exhibition of his powers as a dancer. Miss Charlotte Hamilton as Germaine carried out her part with a consider able amount of grace, while Miss Annie Helford as Serpolette" sang and acted with ability. The choruses were well taken up, and the whole company certainly does great credit to Mr W Hogarth.

Mr E J A Maggs, 16, Hanover Square, was the solicitor. Mr Price Williams (Messrs P & J Williams, Rhyl) afterwards put up 4 acres of land known as Gors Fawr, situate close to the Hydropathic, Rhyl, the highest bid for which was £1,500, and which did not touch the reserve. Messrs Parry Jones & Franics, Denbigh, were the solicitors. The same auctioneer then offered the Imperial Hotel, Rhyl, the top price offered for it being 92500, which was deemed insufficient. Mr Jones, of the firm of Messrs Morecroft & Co., Solicitors, Liver- pool, read the conditions attached to this pro- perty. The freehold property in Sussex Street, adjoining the London & Provincial Bank premises, was then offered in one lot. The property was described as containing three lock-up 'shops with two large halls above, and in good repair. Starting at F,500 the bidding proceeded by C50 to zC750, when smaller bids were accepted. It was eventu- ally knocked down to Capt Keatinge, Rhyl, for £ 780. Mr C T Tallent-Bateman, 64, Cross Street Manchester, was the solicitor for the vendors' The other property offered for sale was the free- hold dwelling-house, known as "Bod Edwen," situate in Russell Road, Rhyl.

After a little encouragement £760 was offered, but as the reserve had not been reached the property was withdriwji. The auctioneer (Mr Price Williams) annotfhcod that he would have several other lots of propgr^y to offer on Oct. 2nd. Jf?" MESSRS JONES & SON, of Rhyl and saph, are opening new premises at Wellington-road, where they will carry on the business of grocers and con- fectioners. This new branch shop is well fitted up a.nd in a commanding position. I MR Hubert O'Grady informs us tbat he is likely to succeed in bringing to the Operetta House the Haymarket Company, for one night only. He has offered them most liberal terms. Should he be successful in his endeavours, the company will play the very popular piece, A Woman of No Importance. WE are sorry to annunce to our readers that the last concert of the season will be given at the Grand Pavilion on Sunday evening. No doubt visitors and townspeople will readily avail them- selves of this opportunity of paying their tribute of respect to the talented harpist, Mr Ffrench Davis, who has delighted his audiences so often with his alluring touches on the queen of instru- ments, and with his accomplished daughter and entertaining band provided Rhyl during the past season with such beautiful music. ° THE NEW INFECTIOUS DISEASES ISOLATION HosprrAL.-The work in connection with the erection of the Rhyl Infectious Diseases Isolation Hospital is being proceeded with at Towyn, on a eite adjoining the present building. SESSIONS.—It will be rem., int-u ak ftt the Licensing Sessions held °u ?• i in.s^> the Bench insisted upon certain a terations being carried out at the New Inn, High-street, Rhyl. We notice that Mr Kilshaw has removed the gate of the passage from the I east to the west aide of the door. j THE Rhyl Yacht Club will have races for 12ft C.B. punts on Saturday the 22nd and Monday the 24th inst, belonging to the Southport County Yacht Club, and the Hoy lake Sailing Club. There is a large entry, and they should prove very interesting. These will be the closing matches of the season. PROFESSOR Frank Sinclair will shortly conclude his daily entertainments at the Pier Head, where during the season he has attracted very large attendances. On Saturday in the presence of many persons he again performed the extraordinary feat of diving a depth of 80 feet from a stage erected on the Pier. He has during the week given daily exhibitions of diving, ornamental swimming, and trapeze performances. His show is announced to conclude on October 6th. MR Dobbing's Town and Promenade Bancl finished their season at Rhyl on Saturday, after spending fifteen weeks here. The season has not been an altogether favourable one, but Mr Dobbing has done his best, considering the patronage he has received. received. HARVEST THANKSGIVING.—It has been arranged that the Harvest Thanksgiving Services through- out the town shall be held on Thursday, October 11th. THE Marquis of Anglesey landed at the Rhyl Pier on !Monday from his steam yacht The Star of the Sea." The presence of this neat-looking vessel at Rhyl naturally attracted a considerable amount of attention, and many visited the Pier Head to obtain a better view. The Marquis stayed at the Westminster Hotel on Monday evening, leaving in his yacht at about 11 o'clock on Tuesday ay morning. THEFT OF A PONY. -The police received informa- tion on Thursday last of the theft of a pony, the property of Mr Pendleton. It appears that a youth hired a pony on the sands for an hour, but failing to return it, the police were communicated with. Enquiries were at once made, and it was fouud by P.C. Gabriel that the animal had crossed the Foryd Bridge. The Constable followed, and after a little while discovered that the youth had sold the pony for £3 to a public-house keeper at Abergele, who believed the very plausible story told of how he came possessed of the animal. The police have every hope of being able to trace the party who took the pony away. PALACE AND GARDENS.—A variety entertain- ment has been provided for the enjoyment of those who patronized this place of amusement during the present week. The attendance haa been very fair, while the programme is an exten- sive and entertaining one. The star of the week is Mr Arthur Farren, the well-known mimic. He first appears in a splendid lady's costume got up in a very taking style. Having sung a ballad in a manner that would deceive most people as to the gender of the singer, be suddenly changes into a. gentleman in full evening attire, afterwards im- personating different characters. Mr Farren's parodies on the so-called popular songs which one hears at every turn are very good, and we are sure that many would willing do to the authors of some of those songs what the parody suggest. The others are deservinglof complimen- tary mention, especially Carl Norman, a very clever dancer, and the Regaldies, who delight the aadience with vocal and instrumental selec- tions on the banjo, mandoline, and sleigh-bells. The screaming absurdity" The Madhouse well deserves its -title, and although amusing, is cer- tainly absurd in the extreme, Mr Jimmy Kelvin in this and other selections as a negro comedian ably sustained his part. Next Monday Mr Fred Gould's Celebrated Repertoire Company is an. nounced to appear at the Palace and Gardens. ON Tuesday at the Town Hall a benefit enter- tainment was given by Mr Tom Wood to Mr Jimmy Charters, who gave every satisfaction during his stay in Rhyl with the troupe. The building was well-filled, and prior to the close of the proceedings Mr Tom Wood was presented with a walking stick. On Wednesday next Messrs Fred Buxton and Horace Ward will take a benefit at the Town Hall. GRAND PAVILION.-The present is the last week of the evening concerts at the Grand Pavilion under the direction of Mr D Ffrench Davis. During the week the concerts have been held nightly, although the attendance has not been all that could have been desired. The programmes have included selections by the Band of Harps, solo violin Mr A Barett, solio violincello Mr G F Collinson, and pianist Miss Ffrench Davis. Miss Fanny de Bou- mers took part at the concerts during the first part of the week, and Miss Emilie Lloyd has now taken her place. Mr Hamlyn Crimp and Mr Bingley Shaw have also taken part. To-morrow evening there will be a perfomance at the Grand Pavilion by Mr Tom Wood and his Merrie Men," and on Sunday evening the last concert of the season will be held. Death of Mr W. R. Williams.
Death of Mr W. R. Williams.
We regret to announce the death, after a brief illness, of Mr William Robert Williams, Solicitor, which took place at his residence, Richmond House, Brighton Road, Rhyl, on Wednesday morning last. Mr Williams was a native of Ruthin, and a son of the Rev Mr Williams, a Calvinistic Methodist Minister. He had carried on the business of a solicitor for about 30 years, and had a very large conveyancing practice. In the year 1872 he succeeded to the business of Mr Robert Edward Williams of Plas Llewelyn. [On two occasions he was candidate for the office of CoronerXof Flintshire, being defeated at one election and withdrawing from the other. He was a Liberal in politics, and a deacon of the English Presbyterian Church, Princes Street, Rhyl. He leaves a widow (who ia a sister of Mr John Bryn Roberts, *M.P.) two sons and a daughter. Deceased was 54 years of age. He was a gentleman held in high esteem in the town and neighbourhood, and the news of hia death was received with universal regret and ex. pressions of deep sympathy with the widow and children. He on various occasions took part in public and philanthropic movements in the town, but his actions were never obtrusive. The funeral takes places as we go to press, and is of a strictly private character. Those invited to be present consist of members of the family and the deceased's brother officers at Princes. street chapel. It has been arranged that the Rev J Verner Jones is to officiate at the house, and the Vicar at the church cemetery. Mr Millward, High Street, carries out the arrangements.
Death of Alderman John Scott…
Death of Alderman John Scott Bankes, By the death of Mr John Scott Bankes, of Sough- ton Hall, which we regret to announce this week, Flintshire has lost a very prominent gentleman, and one who has always taken the deepest interest in the welfare of the county. It was but in June last that all sections of the County Council joined most heartily in congratulating the now deceased gentleman on his recovery from sickness and return £ Pu^hc work. It was also at the same meeting that by a substantial majority the Council elected him an Alderman. Mr Scott Bankes was one of the most prominent land owners in North Wales a Justice of the Peace, Chairman of Quarter Ses- sions, and a member of many public bodies. Laterly he was a Liberal Unionist in politics. He was 68 years of age.
