This constitutes a record for Colwyn Bay, being the longest ■ ons-ecutive run of any entertainment ever given in the town.

LLANDRILLO-YN-RHOS. THANKSGIVING SERVICES.—In beautifully fine weather, the annual thanksgiving services were held-in St. Trillo's Church on Sunday. The church had been beautifully decorated for the occasion by Mrs. E. James-Evans, Miss Alice Evans (Roseg), Mr a Mrs Barlow (Ayrshire Cottage), Miss Gwea Bostock, Mrs and Miss Aldred, Mrs and Miss Horton, Miss Ellis, Miss Herd, Mr Meadows, Miss Best, Misses Wood (Aberhod), Miss Briar (Bryn Estyn), and Miss Ghent and friend. The church was crowded, morning and evening, and powerful sermons were delivered by the Rev. T. Redfern, M.A., Rector of Denbigh. The services were fully choral, and intoned by the Vicar, the Rev. E. James-Evans. The singing was splendidly congre- gational and most devotional, the choir leading admirably. In the morning, the choir sang Turner's pretty anthems, 0, clap your hands together," Miss Gwladys Tozer taking the solo, which she sang very sweetly. In the evening, the anthem was Blessed be the name of the Lord," by Maunder. The rendering of this fine anthem was excellent, the time and expression and crisp punctuation being very pleasant to listen to. The singers are to be complimented, and the organist, Mr. David Hughes, may well be satisfied with the good result. In the afternoon a fruit service was held, during which Miss Marjorie Dunning sang with fine effect, "Orest in the Lord," and another solo from the Creation." This is the first time this young lady has sung in Llandrillo Church, but it is hoped she will often be heard there again. The address was given by the Rev. Rees Morris, Colwyn Bay. A large amount of fruit, eggs, &c., was offered at this service, and sent on Monday morning to the sick of the parish, also to Colwyn Bay Cottage Hospital, Colwyn Bay Fever Hospital, the Den- bighshire Infirmary, Llandudno Isolated Hospital, and the Conway Union Infirmary. The following, as well as the above decorators, sent gifts of fruit, flowers, and corn for the decoration of the church Mr. Cragg, Mr. and Mrs. Jones (Dinarth Hall), Mr. and Mrs. Jones (Ty'nycelyn), Messrs. David and J. O. Pritchard (Glanywern), Mrs. Cros- field, Mrs. Bostock, Mrs. Foulkes (The Ship), Miss Potter, Miss E. Clint, Mrs. Harris-Jones, Miss Owens (Mochdre), Mr. and Mrs. Shaw (King's- road), Mrs. Hattersley, Miss Spencer, Mrs Best, Mrs. Roylance, Mrs. Sharp, Mrs. and Miss Smith (Victoria Park), Miss Briar (Bryn Estyn), and Mrs. Buckley (Mount Roal). The offertories, which amounted to £15 ios., were given to the four St. Asaph Diocesan Societies and the Colwyn Bay Cottage Hospital. &

LLANDDULAS. THE FLOODS.- The Llanddulas river was much flooded on Monday, the water rising to a very high level, making the roadway from the village to the railway station impassable to pedestrians and vehicles. The traffic was deverted to Wern Avenue, and it was amusing to see the folks scramble across the fields and over the hedges for the early morning trains. FUNERAL OF LITTLE NORMAN.- The funeral of little Norman Templeton, who was fatally injured by a truck attached to a traction engine on Wednesday last (a full report of which appears in another column), took place on Satur- day afternoon, at the churchyard of St. Cymbryd. The Rector, Canon C. F. Roberts, assisted by the Rev. J. Phillips, officiated. The chief mourners were the father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Temple- ton, a brother, and two little sisters, Mrs. Captain Hannah, Abergele, and Mr. John Hannah, Aber- gele (uncle and aunt), Mr. and Mrs. Frank Han- nah, Old Colwyn (uncle and aunt). The funeral was largely attended by the public, and an im- pressive feature was the presence of the school children, accompanied by Mr. B. H. Jones, school- master, who also presided at the organ during the service. Wreaths were sent by his father and mother Sunday School class the boys and girls of Llanddulas school; Polly Davies, Colwyn Bay Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Jones Ruth, Alice, Ella and Frank Lewis, and Master Cashman, Llysfaen Station. Much sympathy is felt with the child's parents in their very sad bereavement. A unani- mous vote of sympathy was passed with the family at the Congregational Church on Sunday evening. GOOD NEWS.—We understaed that Mr. Lup- ton, the much respected owner of the Ffordd Newydd (Quarry, has given C300 towards the new Church House at Llanddulas. This is another splendid gift of his, in addition to supplying the lime for the building. The total amount now available in the hands of the committee is about £ 600, and this will enable the committee, headed by Canon C. F. Roberts, to cause building operations to be com- menced without delay. BUILDING DEVELOPEMENTS.—We hear, on good authority, that some of the leading land- owners of the district are about to open out fields for building purposes in the neighbourhood. This sounds well for the numerous young couples of the village who are waiting for suitable houses in which to make their homes. DEDICATING THE NEW CHURCH BELLS. —Canon C. F. Roberts, the vicar, is most fortunate in having plenty of willing workers to assist in Church work in his parish. Mrs. Pinnock, Pen- dyffryn, sister of Sir Alfred Jones, end Miss Pinnock, niece of Sir Alfred, and Mrs. Harrison Williams, of Aigburth, Liverpool, have presented a splendid gift of six new bells, which have been placed in the tower of St. Cymbryd's Church. The dedication ceremony took place on Sunday, when to the sincere delight of the villagers the new bells were heard. The Rev. Dr. J. W. Hall, of Tanyrogo was the special preacher for the occasion. An English service was held at 11 a.m. The sermon was taken from the text, 15th verse of 120th Psalm, "Praise Him on the loud cymbols, praise Him on the high- sounding cymbols." The service was thoroughly enjoyed by the large congregation. During the sermon the preacher made a touching reference to their departed little friend, Norman Templeton." The relatives were present. The new bells are most musical in tone, and their echo from the surrounding hills and woods in the pretty valley of Llanddulas touched the solemn spirit of right- minded worshippers. In the evening the tune on the hymn We love Thy place, OLord," was rung on the bells, and it was interesting to note young and old halting to listen to the performance.

LLANDUDNO. THE AMATEURS F.C. FOR LLANRWST.— The Llandudno Amateurs F.C. journey on Satur- day to play the undefeated Llanrwst League team at Gwydyr Park. The management hope to haive a stronger eleven than journeyed to Conway and who were defeated. The following is the selected team: —Stallard, goal; John Henry Jones and Johnnie E. Williams, backs W. Edwards, T. Johnson, and Harold Pearson (captain), halves; Willie Arthur Williams, Brookes-Evans, Jack Brown, Bob Davies, and Jimmy Williams, forwards.

Wednesday next is the date fixed for the tradesmen's annual holiday, and arrangements have been made to suspend business for the day. The Railway Company are offering splendid facilities for visiting the large English centres, the Metro- polis -did Dublin. LA MARGUERITE."—This fine steamer of the Liverpool & North Wales Steamship Com- pany, "La Marguerite," made her last trip up the Menai Straits on Monday, and on her return she was greeted by a large crowd of people. There was much handshaking and waving of handkerchiefs as the handsome steamer sped through the waves en route for Liverpool. MOTOR CAR ACCIDENT.—Although there are many indications placed at various stages intimating the ten mile speed limit in town there are motorists who; in their recklessness care not for such notices. An example of this was seen on Sunday, when two motors appeared to be racing down the Coaway-road towards town, and who were apparently making for the golf links. Sv.erviing round Trinity-street, at a rate, in the opinion of an eye-witness, of quite fifty miles an hour, one of the cars ran up against the kerbstone and removed it. The collision capsized the car and threw the occu- pants out. An elderly gentleman, who was riding alongside of the chauffaar, was much hurt and had to be medically attended to. There appeared to be little sympathy expressed by those who saw the accident because of the inane recklessness that brought it on. PROPERTY MARKET.—A well-attended sale of property in. Llandudno was held at the Marine Hotel on Friday night, Mr. T. W. Griffith being the auctioneer. The boarding or apartment house on the sea front, No. 5, Mostyn Crescent, with a cottage called Onen Villa at the rear, was sold for £1,000 to Mr. David Davies, the tenant. The tenure of the site is for 75 years from 1857, and is perpetually re- newable upon the payment of the added value to the ground landlord, Lord Mostyn. In reply to a question the auctioneer said he thought it would cost about ^4°° to renew the lease for another 75 years. The ground rent is the nominal one of 5s. a year. The solicitor for the vendor was Mr. E. E. Bone. Arley House, a boarding establishment in. Vaughan-street, held on a similar lease to the foregoing at 5s. a year from 1862, was put up and withdrawn at £ 1,300. The vendor's solicitors were Messrs. Wilkins and Toy, of Chipping Norton. The Snowdor Hotel and Vaults in Tudno-street, Llandudno, were disposed of for £1,650 to Messrs. Salt and Co., brewers, Bur.ton-on-Trent. The tenure of this property is under three leases for 99 years each, the first from 1856 at the ground rent of £2 5s. per annum, the second from 1857 at £ 2 5s., and the third from 1857 at the ground rent of 15s. per annum. Messrs. Chamberlain and Johnson, Llandudno, were the legal representatives of the sellers in this case. COUNTY SCHOOL.—A special meeting of the Governors of the Llandudno County School was held on Friday, Mr. J. Allanson Pieton in the chair. There was a full attendance of the members. The Clerk (Mr. James Marks) re- ported that Mr. J. Archer Thomson, the head master, desired the permission of the Governors to be away from his duties owing to indisposi- tion, and the Governors, in granting him leave of absence for the term, expressed sympathy with Mr. Archer Thomson in his illness. Mr. J. Ord Charter, the assiistanit master, was asked to undertake the duties of deputy head master until Mr. Archer Thomson's return. The Clerk and Mr Charter were asked to take immediate steps to obtain a temporary assistant master or mistress qualified in French and Latin.. It was decided to hold another special meeting shortly to consider the propo-sed amendment of the scheme for intermediate education in the county and in the meantime the clerk was asked to ap- ply to Mr. E. R. Davies. the Secretary of Edu- cation for the county, for a copy of the pro- posed alterations. It was resolved to support, a resolution passed by the Governors of the Car- narvon County School urging the University College of North Wales to establish a depart- ment for practical instruction in cookery, laun- dry work, and domestic subjects at the Uni- versity College at Bangor. PLEA FOR EARLY SHOPPING.—The Llan- dudno Grocers' and Fruiterers' Association have decided that their establishments should be closed at one o'clock every Wednesday after- noon during the winter months, every other evening at eight o'clock during October, and at seven o'clock until next March, except Fridays, when the shops will close at eight. It was also decided to make an earnest appeal to the in- habitants to do their shopping before the times stated, and so to. assist in a movement which is of benefit to the employers and assistants alike. REGISTRAR OF MARRIAGES.—On the office of registrar of marriages fur the district of Llandudno and C'onrway becoming vacant by the death of Mr. Jesse Jones, the Llandudno Council sent an appeal to the Local Govern- ment Board that the new officer should be re- quired to live in Llandudno. Mr. R. T. Jones, the relieving officer and registrar of births and deaths for that town, was nominated for the post of registrar of marriages by Mr. T. E. Parry, clerk to the Guardians of the Conway Union and superintending registrar, and the Local Government Board (as we announced in cur Conway news last week) have officially ap- proved the appointment, thus complying with the request of the Llandudno Council. WHEN CONWAY BAY WAS DRY LAND.— Mr. John- Roberts, of Llandudno, recently came across the trunks of several great forest trees on the shore of Conway Bay, about 200 yards south- west from the Great Orme Drive toll-house, which is regarded as further confirming the tradition as to the area now forming the bay having at one time been fertile land. During thai last few years the channel of the Conway passing ihe Orme h is moved, disclosing the re- mains of the prehistoric forest. These can only be seen at low water of spring tides.

Rattenbury for the even- ing services at the Lycetom Theatre during the winter. QUEEN'S-ROAD.—"We are glad to observe that this road is receiving same attention from the authorities, and that one side is being kerbed and channelled. It will greatly add to the comfort of tlhose using this road, which has great vehicular traffic on 1.1. INCONSISTENCY.—Many have been the complaints in this district at the want of light- ing the Yenyrnnt-hill during the exceedingly dark nights of the past few days. Attention has been frequently drawn to this matter, and a lady visitor, who, on returning from Colwyn Bay, with some parcels, was so bewildered by the tlaclmes;, vhit she lost her way completely. And the strange contrast to this is, that on Tuesday) night, when. a bright moon was shin- ing, all the lamps were lit. The old saying veri- fied "Too much, or n(ill3!" SCHOLASTIC.—Mr John Daniel, who has been assistant at the Council Schools, for the last two years, has departed from the Junction. He was closely identified with the schools' progress from the beginning, and his departure will be a real loss to the school. We understand that Mr. Daniel is proceeding to Bangor to undergo a degree course at the University, and we are sure he takes with him the best wishes of the residents of the Junction.

Hughes, Cambrian Cycle Works. THE VILLAGE STREAM.—As a result of the exceptionally wet weather experienced dur- ing the past few days, the, village stream pre- sents an unusual c-ight the water being deeper than has beer noticed for a considerable time. A VISITOR" writes diawing attention to the great convenience it would be to the in- habitants if a means were provided of going straight from the shore oiii toi the railway plat- form, instead of hav:ng to go all the way round to. the main entrance, as at present, and sug- gesting that those who have the improvement of the village at heart, should take the matter up. FOOTBALL this season in Elan will be a great thing (a correspondent writes). The Saturday team has joined the Wednesdays, so now there is only one club. The field is the best in Wales, being Mr Sydney Platt's old cricket ground in front of Brynyneuadd Hall. This field has been obtained through the gener- osity of Dr. Bayley and Dr. Archdall. It is undecided whether to join the Second Division of the North Wales Coast League. It will. be finally decided at a general meeting to be held on Monday. The Wednesdays have decided not to join the Wednesday League on account of scarcity of eligible players, several of the players having left. Llanfairfechan can now boast of their first qualified releree, namely Mr. T. Harold Morgan, son of Councillor T. G. Morgan and' brother of J. E Morgan, the genial T.I.A. secretary. Mr. T. H. Morgan officiates at Glasmfryn rext Saturday in a match between Glasinfryn and Menai Bridge. This will pre- vent T. H. from playing with his old Wednes- day team. We wish him every success in his new sphere of work

WITH A READY SALE AT 3/- PER HORSE POWER PER DAY WHILE COST. ING ONLY 3d. These profits seem impossible, yet it is an undisputable fact. We have all heard of the harnessing of the famous Niagara Falls. We all know how these mighty waters have been turned from a roaring wasting torrent into the largest power and light generating station 111 the world. It is mow old history to most of us how water power has superseded steam for hundreds of miles around these renowmed Falls. Well, then, the self-same thing is now being done at Klondike, the celebrated gold-fields. Hitherto the users of power for mines, mills, and dredges have used steam for the motive power; and when we mention that the price of coal is ^5 per ton and wood ^3 per cord, the reader will glean an idea of the heavy ex- pense of steam power. Now, however, thaniks to a group of enter- prising gentlemen, a Hydro Electric Power plant is being erected in Klondike to supply power to the mines, mills, and dredges at 3s. per horse power per 'day. The cost of generat- ing his power is under 3d. per horse power per day. In spite of these enormous profits, users get a more efficient power for a third of the present cost of steam. This water power is -capable of developing 20,000 horse power; and nearly all of the l,argest Mining Companies of Klondike are applying for this power. There are low grade fields of gold-bearing gravels and quartz to last hundreds of years, to be worked with large profits by cheap power. To enable them to lay down further mach- inery, we have for sale a block of the Com- pany's 6 per cent. ten year bonds, with which we give free a like amount of shares as bonuses to every purchaser of the bonds. The Company claim the dividends from the shares for one year alone will pay for the bonds, which can be purchased on easy terms for £.1 (one poundi) upwards.
