W H :1, T S U N T I D E.-Notwithstanding the threatening weather of Monday, the large num- ber of excursionists that arrived early in the town were pileasedi to. see the ominous clouds clear away, and the day was free from rain. Although the railway traffic was good, it was not, we understand, quite up to the average. The hotels and boarding houses, however, did ,good business, and there were a large number of visitors, amongst the hotel guests who ar- rived for the first time. Ample attraction's, were afforded in. the Pier Pavilion, concerts, Reynolds' Serenadlers, and Catlin's Pierrots, whilst ani- mated pictures were shown, at the Public Hall. All 'these received splendid patronage. Boating was also indulged in by many, and the Pwlly- cnochan Woods were visited by a large number of people. The coaching tours of Messrs J. Fred Francis & Sons, and the splendid series of motor-coach tours to places of interest came in for much patronage. The tours by motor char-a-banc include the new grand loop tour to Griocieth and Pwllheli, Llangollen, Aberg.laslyn, Gorwen, Beaumaris, Denbigh, and Pentrevoelas Loop, Llanberis, Bethasdia, Abergele, and LLan- irwst loop, Bettwisi-y-Coed, Marble Church, St. Asaph, and Rhuddlan Castle loop. The cars are driven by the most experienced drivers, and the greatest courtesy is shown by the attendants. Altogthar, the Whitsuntide holidays have been favoured by good weather, and the town has much benefited thereby.
