THE CHURCH TOWER.—We have authority for announcing that a start will very soon be made with the work of erecting the long-awaited tower of St. Paul's Church.

PAUL'S GARDEN FETE.—County Councillor and Churchwarden Edward Allien has bean paid the high compliment of being elected Chairman of the St. Paul's Fete this year. The St. Paul's fete, which is one of the principal events in Colwyn Bay's social diary, takes place on; the last two. days of the present month, and there is every prospect that it willl be in many ways the most successful of the series. 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.

LLANFAIRFECHAN. THE NEW SCHOOL.—At the meeting of the Building Committee of the Carnarvon Educa- tion Authority, the Board of Education wrote that the new school had, been placed on the annual grant list as from the 4th January, 1909, as a continuation of the Caersailern temporary Council school, and was recognised as providing accommodation for not more than 172 mixed and sixty infant scholars. In view of representa- tions made as to the excess of accommodation in the miXled department and the congestion in the infants' department, the question of re- arrangement was referred to Mr Ralph Fisher and the Architect for enquiry and report. The balance of the building grant, amounting tk, £ 60, was reported to have been received. A letter from Mir J. Lewis, 2, Marine-terrace, with regard to an accident to his child in the play- ground of the school, was deferred for enquiry and repott. MILITARY.—Several young men from Llanfair- fechan have joined the Penmaenmawr Co. of the 6th Batt. R. W. F. Col. Darbishire was exceed- ingly pleased with the loyalty of these young men, and promised them every facility and encourage- ment that were accorded other members of the Company. A dozen more men will bring the company up to its full strength, and it is hoped that before the arrival of the time for camp these men will come forward, preferably from Llanfair- fechan. BOYS' CAMP.—There are about 100 or 120 young lads from the Midlands camping at.Llan- fairfechan. The minister in charge of them does not agree with camping out, and he has therefore engaged the Public Hall for the youngsters, who are having an enjoyable time. The lads sleep in the Hall, as well as partake of their meals. They also indulge in various games during the day, and in the evening concerts are held. ACCIDENTS.—On Thursday last, a man named Kobert Wynne, living at 15, Mona-terrace, met with an accident whilst following his employment at Brundritt's new crusher works. After reaching a height on the building he missed his footing and felltdown, striking a girder. His mates ran to his assistance and fortunately found he was not seri- ouslv hurt. Dr. Clifton Hughes attended to him on the spot. It was reported tnat no bones were broken. On the same day, Griffith Lewis Jones, Dinas Cottage, also in the employ of Brundritt & Co., was somewhat severely burnt through a pre- mature explosion of gunpowder. He was also medically attended and is improving. THE HOLIDAYS.—There were a large number of visitors staying at Llanfairfechan during the holidays. Boating and coach drives were greatly enjoyed, and the place was livened up somewhat by a fife-and-drum band of the boys club who are camping in the village.
