COLWYN BAY. ELECTION RESULTS.—Thanks to the enterprise of local newsagents and sta- tioners the results of the polls in the differ- ent parts of the country have been made known in the town shortly after the declan.- tion. Mr. J. W. Holden, Belgravia, re- ceived results by arrangements with the Liverpool Daily Post." Those received at night time he displayed by means of lantern slides thrown upon a sheet in one of his shop windows. During the early part of la&t week, when the political excitement was at its height, Mr. C. R. Chaplin showed the results on a sheet placed outside the Liberal Committee Rooms, and thousands of people remained watching them until a late liour. The figures were sent by Mr. Holden, who also apprised the Constitution- al Chib. Other newsagents to publish the pollings were Messrs. Trehearne & Cooke, Abergele road, who arranged with the Daily News," and Mr. Percival, Abergele road, by arrangement with the Liverpool Courier. CONSERVATIVE MEETING—The Conservative party held a meeting in the Vici-oria Pier Pavilion on Thursday, which da.v was the eve of the .poll in West Den- bighshire. Admission was by ticket, and it required all the strenuous efforts that eight stalwart constables could put forth to pre- vent the turnstiles being rushed. Tickets were supplied to all electors and other responsible people, with the result that the motley congregation of youths who turned the Conservative meedng recently in the Public Hall into a bear garden found them- selves rigorously excluded. So great was the crowd around the gates that the police were unable to keep a passage free for ticket holders, and several were unable to reach the pier gates in consequence. The proceedings at the meeting were of a mosft orderly char- acter, although in the crowded audience were many who differed very strongly in ol 'hion from the speakers. Credit for the success of the meeting is chieny due to County Councillor Edward Alien, who occu- pied the chair. Mr. Alien is without doubt a. public man who is held in high esteem by all parties, and in whatever com- pany he finds himself his personal popular- ity and the value of his public services al- ways gain for him an attentive and respect- ful hearing. Mr. Alien made a most admir- el able chairman, and never once let the meeting get out of hand. The candidate, Mr. Sam Thompson, was enthusiasticaly received, the other principal speaker being M. L. S. Amery, who on two occasions has failed but by a narrow margin to capture a connrmed liberal seat in Wolverhampton East. Mr. Ormsby Gore, who won Denbigh DoToughs for the Conservatives, was announced to speak, but was prevented from being present by doctor's orders. Owing to remarks which he Is stated to have made with refer- ence to Mr. Lloyd George, a section of locai Liberals had prepared to give him a warm reception. DESERTING A CHILD.—At a special Police court at Llandudno on Tuesday, be- iore Dr. Dalton and Mr. Adey Wells, a coachman named George Sinclair was charged with deserting his child, and leaving it chargeable to the Conway Union. Police evidence was given to the effect that Sin- clair, for whom a warrant had been issued, was arrested at Pontypridd on Saturday. Mr. R. T. Jones, the relieving omcer, stated that the accusedfs son had been in the work- house since October, 1907, and the cost of main!,a.inin.g him since then had been -4 2 9 iM. Mr. Jones pressed for a severe nenalty, and the prisoner was sent to prison ior three months. BROTHERHOOD.—One of the most interesting meetings was that held last Sun- 0 day, when a mos<t eloquent address was given by Mr. F. Grubb, of London, private secretary to Sir Herbert Roberts, Bart., M.P. He took for his subject "Which !.s the true religion?" Great interest WAS. taken in the address, delivered in a most entertaining manner, which made a great impression, the audience listening most attentively throughout. The meeting was presided over by Mr. R. H. Lilley. LOCAL CONSERVATIVES. Both political parties are now dismantling their committee rooms, and the town is resuming Jts winter quietness. On Tuesday Mr. Sam Thompson spent a day in the district and visited both the Constitutional Club and the headquarters of the campaign situated in the Conway road. DAYLIGHT COMET.—This much dis- cussed celestial apparition has been clearly visible locally each day since Saturday, be- tween the hours of six and seven in the evening. On Tuesday the residents in the east end of the town had a remarkably dis- tinct view of it when it appeared on the southwesterly horizon and shot across the heavens at a great rate. LANTERN LECTURE. — Yesterday (Wednesday) evening in the Church Room Mr. H. Eliot Walton, of Newmarket, Cam- bridgeshire, gave a lecture on Work among racing stable lads." The lecture, which was illustrated by lantern slides, proved of great interest to a good attendance.

Such a charming production and so worthy an object should ensure a crowded house. FOR WEDDING STATIONERY.—Latest de. signs. Specimen Book ecnt to any address on application..—R. E.

THE ANIMATED PICTURE ENTERTAIN- ME NT has survived the period of probation and seems to have come to stay as a form of amuse- ment which is likely to increase in interest rather than dciminish. There may be developments of surprise and wonder in it yet, of which at pre- sent we know nothing. Week by week fresth novelties are introduced. The light and ste-adi. mess are wonderfully improved on what was experienced in its initial stages. This weeik's programme at the Public Hall furnishes variety in the picture-making process. An interestting educational set is entitled From Forest to Fireside." In this we are ahewn the varied pro- cesses by which we get our newspaper, com- mencintg with the cutting down of trees in Norway, and finishing with a picture of a famijy re-ading the news by the fireside. Women's Life in India is a splendid coloured film full of interest and information. Judged from om standpoint of civilization a woman's life in India is not a pleasant experience. The Wonderful Pearl is a very pretty trick picture. The popu- lar dramatic subjects are Two Runa.ways, The Traitor," and The Old' Shoe Maker," each of which is brim full of exciting incidents. Humour is seen and its vagaries in The Ma<gis- trate'a Hat," Taking his photograph," and Energetic Street Sweeper," the latter exciting roars of laughter. Next Monday, being the first anruiversa.ry of the opening of Harry Reynolds' animated pictures at the Public Hall, there will be a special programme presented on the occasion. 5.th BATT.

In the course of the meetings solos were given by Miss Thomas, an evangelistic singer from London. POLLING DAY.—Locally, polling in the Arvon division of Carnarvonshire pro- ceeded very quietly on Tuseday morning and afternoon). At 4 p.m. at the Eirias station buc 192 out of 420 electors had recorded their votes, and at the Llysfaen station the proportion was even less, the number being 168 out of 500 on the register. Later in the evening, however, polling was brisker, as the quarrymen who had delayed voting until after their day's work came to the booths in large numbers. Both parties were pretty adequately supplied with vehicles, although Mr. R. T. Whitley, the local Conservative agent, could have employed more than were placed at his service. Mr. Whitley, it is In- teresting to note, has held the position of sub--agent for Colwyn and Llysfaen for the long period of nineteen, years. In the course of the evening, Mr. Arthur E.

PENMAENMAWR. THE ELECTION.—Great interest is manufested in the General Election, but dur- ing last week, the chief interest has been devoted to the local contest in North Camar- vonshire. On Tuesday, which was the day of polluig, there was quite an animated scene around the National Schools, where the polling took place. Colours were much in evidence, and a dog was covered with yello'w with the motto: Vote for William Jones." For a joke a dog belonging to a well known Nonconformist minister was decorated with blue ribbon, the colours of the Conservative pa:rty. Yesterday morning the inhabitqjTts were not anxious about the result, but only about the majority that Mr. Wm. Jones would receive. When the result was made known late in the afternoon there was great jubilation, especially amongst the quarrymen, who had been eagerly awaiting the result for some hours. Later in the evening there was a. torchlight procession to celebrate the victory and the Increase in the majority.

The farmers used their own conveyances, whilst the majority of them came on foot.

BETTWS-Y-COED. WEATHER OBSERVATIONS AT BETTWS-Y-COED. For the week ending Saturday, Jan. 22nd, 1010. Mean&monntofeloud. 68spercent. N DR. HuGH WATSON Fox, Observer. WHIST DRIVE.—The nrst whist drive was held on Thursday evening, at the Glan LIugwy School, when 35 players put in an appearance. The organisers were Miss E- B. Jones, Tan Lan, and Miss Rawson Wil- liams, who were assisted by Miss Kent, and the proceeds were in aid of the school funds. The ladies' prize was won by Miss Owen, Llandudno (179), and the consolation prize by Miss Hughes, Bodhyfryd. Amongst, the gentlemen the winner was Mr. Newton, Ivy Glen (175), the consolation prize going to Mr. D. C. Hughes (138). At the close of play, and whilst the scores were being add- ed, refreshments were served, these were provided by Messrs. Jones, Tan Lan., and Hughes, Willoughby House. The prizes were presented to the winners by the vicar. The company spent a most enjoyable even- ing. PERSONAL.—We are pleased to note that Miss Corns, of The WoodLands, is re- covering from the result of the serious in- jury received when on a visit to Manchester, by being run down by a tramcar. RENT AUDIT.—The rent audit in con- nection with the Gwydyr Estate took place at Bettws on Monday, after which the dinner was served at the Gwydyf Hotel. Mr. Thomas Grimth, Earl Ancaster's agent, presided. POLLING DAY.—The polling booth wa.s at the Boys' School, at which Mr. T. Latimer Jones, solicitor, Llanrwst, presid- ed, with Mr. Henrv Jones, Llanrwst, as poll clerk. Mr. T. W.' Evans, Oakfield, attend- ed on behalf of the Liberals. Mr. Jonathan Price, Fairy Glen, looked after the interests of the Conservatives. The morning opened briskly, several farmers recording their votes on the way to Llanrwst Market, and both parties worked energetically for the success of their candidates. One voter from Llan- rwst was brought out of bed to record his vote. Both candidates paid a visit to their various committee rooms, and the polling booth. Mr. Jones was the first to call, and he was most enthusiastically received. Mr. Hughes put in an appearance in the evening, and was well received, but whilst delivering a brief speech he was questioned respecting his remarks in a speech delivered at Uan- dudno in which he spoke disparagingly of the quarrymen. This the speaker denied, but some of the crowd held copies of his speech, and eventually the crowd became a little demonstrative. A sod was thrown at Mr. Hughes, which struck him at the back of neck, and the crowd closed around him. He was escorted to his car by two omcers, and we understand that Mr. Twigge Ellis, who accompanied the candi<la<te, was kicked on the legs on his way to the car in which they departed without further, molestation.. After the close of the poll Mr. Latimer Jones was escorted to the station by a large crowd, who cheered and sang in turns. The train steamed out to the accompanimenft of a storm of cheers.

LLANFA)RFECHAN. FUNERAL.—The funeral took place on Saturday, at the Llanfairfechan Ceme- tery, of Mrs. Grimths, mother of Mr. John Grimths, Coronation Stores, Station road. The deceased lady, who died last week, was very well known and highly respected, and was a faithful member with the Calvinistic Methodists. EJECTMENT ORDER.—At the Ban- ger police court on Tuesday, an ejectment order was granted to Wm. Roberts against Charles Owen, Tanlan issa, possession to be given up within 21 days. At the same Court a number of Llanfairfechan people were summoned in respect of the district rates, and the usual orders were made. THE ELECTION.—There was con- siderable excitement at Uanfairfechan dur- ing the election. On the Monday before the poll the Liberals held a meeting in the Public Hall, in which prominent speakers took part. The meeting was expecting the appearance of the Liberal candidate, but about 10 p.m. they gave up all hopes of his attending, and the crowd dispersed. As the last batch were leaving the hall, Mr. Wm. Jones appeared, followed by an enthusiastic crowd, who made a rush for the hall, and the candidate was compelled to deliver an address. On the day of polling there were some exciting incidents towards the evening. The members of both political parties congregated, and sang their favourite election song's. Some of the crowd came too near each other, with the result that an occasional blow was struck. When the re- sult of the polling was made known on Wednesday afternoon, there was great en- thusiasm among the Liberals, and in the evening a procession was held to celebrate the victory.

MOTOR OMNIBUS.— Local residents will be pleased to learn that the much talked of motor omnibus service between Colwyn and Colwyn Bay will be started in a few weeks time. In the course of a letter on this matter which he has addressed to Councillor Thomas Hoskins, Mr. L. A. P. Warner, the District Superin- tendent for Chester and North Wales, says: We hope to have an omnibus running be- tween Colwyn and Colwyn Bay in about a month or six weeks time. There has been some dimculty in obtalnong a suitable vehi- cle, but one has now been obtained and is at present in the works being painted. I will write you further as early as possible as to the exact, date on which the service will start." It remains to be seen whether the solitary omnibus which will be sent will prove equal to the requirements. The Col- wyn to Rhos has apparently been dropped. Possibly, however, it may be resurrected and the present service reinforced in the summer. I POLITICAL MEETING.—A meeting in support of the candidature of Mr. Wm.
