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.

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.
