The advertiser is desirous of facilitating the issue of a new and highly im- proved edition of a work of national interest, but has also a good practical knowledge of com- mercial matters, and business would be strictly attended to. Further information, private interview. 781 SMART SENTENCES.—At a special Police Court, on Thursday morning, before Messrs. Joseph Dicken and J. Berth Jones, four men were charged with begging in the early hours of the same day. P.C. William Evans gave evidence as to having arrested John Kelly, of Dublin, and John White, of Tipperarv, in Lawson-road, at 8.30 a.m. He returned with defendants to a house they had called at, and the lady stated in the hearing of all three that the defendants had asked for food. Defendants pleaded guiltv. —P.C. William Evans also gave similar evidence concerning James Richardson, of Manchester, who was begging in Greenfield-road when ar- rested. Defendant was accompanied by his wife. P.C. David Jones proved a like offence by Thomas Thompson, of Sheffield, committed in Egerton-road. Both defendants pleaded guiltv.-Their Worships, addressing defendants, said begging was becoming a confounded nuis- ance in the town and all future offenders would be severely dealt with. Kelly was who before the Bench a few weeks previously, and White must go to prison for fourteen days with hard labour. Thompson would undergo a like period of in- carceration without hard labour, and as it was his first offence, Richardson would be discharged on condition that he left the town before 12 noon.On Tuesday week John McCarthy, of Limerick, charged with begging on the morning of the same day in Conway-road by P.C. William Evans, was sentenced to a month's hard labour. Defendant had been in trouble several times before. YACHT IN DIFFICULTIES—About half past seven on Saturday evening a gentleman -"T' 1)': .hC'.c.rcrl strolling along the Victoria r ita. — yacht sailing past Rhos to be in difficulties. Hastening to the boatmen s quarters on the Promenade, he learned that J. Jones, boatman No. 5, had noticed what was taking place, but was unable to put out by himself, as alone he could not launch his boat. With the assist- ance of another boatman (Peter jones), how- ever, the three managed to drag a light boat down to the sea, which was at low tide, and fifteen minutes' rowing enabled them to reach the scene of action. From the shore it appear- ed that the yacht was about to capsize, but this proved not to be the case. The yacht was aground on the rocks close by the spot where the "Rhos Neigr" went down two seasons ago, and a few yards from where it lay might be discerned the engines and other parts of that illfated vessel. The yacht proved to be the Kathleen, of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club, there being six persons on board, whilst no boats were carried. The means the crew were adopting to free themselves would have landed them on further rocks, but the boatmen, well acquainted with the place, were able to direct them to a channel by which they might reach the open sea. In reward for the trouble to which they had been put in going to their as- sistance, the occupants of the yacht generously bestowed the sum of one shilling on the boat- men, and then took their departure by the chan- nel indicated. Needless to say, the comments of the boatmen upon the yachtsmen were the reverse of flattering. It may be added that when the boatmen put out there was a heavy swell which made their errand of mercy a some- I what risky one. NOW ON SALE, a large variety of Real Photograph Postcards of the Royalties, the late King Edward VII., Her Majesty the Queen- Mother's Letter to the Nation, 2d. each.—R. E. Jones & Bros, Weekly News Office, Station- road, Colwyn Bay. A VETERAN MISSIONARY.—Owing to the state of his health and acting upon the advice of his medical attendants, the Rev. John Jones, a Welsh Calvinistic Methodist missionary of the Khasia Hills, India, who has been for some time past in this country on furlough, will not be able to return to India. Mr. Jones has laboured in the north-east of Hindostan under the auspices of the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Foreign Missionary Society for thirty-four years. He has taken up his residence at Colwyn Bay, where his services in the pulpit are greatly in demand. The Rev. John Jones, who was for over thirty years a missioner in China, deliver- ed a very charming address upon mission work in the Khasia Hills. THE REV. DR. H. T. COUSINS.—We have received a copy of the North Shore Leader," published at Newcastle, North Brunswick, con- taining a report of an address by the Rev. H. T. Cousins on Halley's Comet. The lecture was delivered in the local Town Hall, and the subject was treated in a very able manner. Principal B. P. Steeves was in the chair, and a programme of music of exceptional merit was rendered during the evening. In another column of the journal we note a paragraph announcing that 3,000 dollars is to be spent on additions to Dr. Cousin's church. The fund for the work is now complete, and the contract includes im- provements to the Baptistry, school, classroom, and tower. KHASIA HILLS MISSIONARY IN F-NGEDI.-On Sunday evening following the usual evening service, a special meeting was held in Engedi Chapel to hear an address from the Rev. Rai Bhajur, native minister from Khasia Hills. The English Presbyterian Church and the Bethlehem and Rhiw Churches in response to an invitation to be present, had many representatives amongst the large audi- ence, and the novelty of hearing a native of the far-off Khasia Hills give a history of the mis- sionary work done at that place was of more than ordinary interest, and much appreciated. A most interesting address was also given by the returned missionary, the Rev. John Jones, who is a charming speaker. NOTICE TO HOLIDAY-MAKERS.—Those having any trouble in securing Provincial Papers will be glad to know that they can obtain the sa.ne from the Visitors Chronicle Office, R. E. Jones & Bros., Station- road, Colwyn Bay. BROTHERHOOD.—The reputation of the Brotherhood for securing good speakers is well maintained, for the address given last Sunday by the Rev. J. Einan Evans, of Holywell, was from every point of view excellent. And no wonder those present appreciated it, for he is just the style of minister the members like. The members listened with rapt attention to his ex- cellent and inspiring address, and are looking forward to a return visit in the near future. Mr. W. Hartley presided at the organ. IMPORTANT PROPERTY SALE.—At the Hotel Metropole, on Friday, Mr. F. A. Dew will offer for sale by auction the well-known boarding establishment of Morannedd, Marine- road. The house stands in its own well-laid. out grounds of nearly half an acre, and occu- pies a most convenient situation. The sale is timed to take place at 3 p.m., and full particu- | lars may be obtained of the auctioneer at the Property Mart, or of Messrs. Nunn and Co., Solicitors. THE ARCADIAN PIERROTS.—Writing in the Pierrot Chronicle," a weekly journal pub- lished by Mr. Will Catlin, which contains news of the various Pierrot troupes dotted about the country, the Editor says: It is most gratify- ing to realise that although the stress of a record Whitsuntide has passed, there is no dimunition of enthusiasm at the Arcadia at Colwyn Bay. Audiences are smaller (not that they are less than could be expected), but the source of gratification is the amount of pleasure the audi- gratification is the amount of pleasure the audi- ences derive from the efforts of the performers, whether individual or collective." It is interest- ing to read of the estimation in which the vari- ous artistes are held at headquarters. The article continues:—"Of the new comers, per- haps the most rapid strides have been made by Mr. Desmond Thomasson, who, profiting by en- vironment, is rapidly gaining increased favour." Environment," of course, must refer to his popular and better known colleagues. Next in order comes the modest accompanist, Mr. R. E. Seed, a most painstaking and clever pianist." Certainly no one would have accused last sea- son's pianist of being modest! "1. F. A. Terry secured the laurels upon his first appear- ance. Since then he has acquired a forest of items." Such a record defies criticism. Mr. Wootton can scarcely need mention, save that he is exceeding himself. One could hardly ex- pect more of a man. Charles Edwin, in his choice of new songs, has made a most happy selection." Beautiful Bertie must surely come in this category. Sidney Trickett, who, in addition to vocal accomplishments, has added unto himself terpsichorean ability, is much in favour." Who can wonder? Mr. 11 .'1 -J -t. Sid. frere, mucn tne same as ever, anu yel wmi a large repertoire of new songs and tiusiness, which stamps him as being exactly what was expected of him, and more than that." This is rather overpowering, but without a doubt Mr. Frere is the goods," as the, Americans say, and absolutely top-notch in his line of business. Mr. W. A. Pryce-Davis is not for- gotten. The article concludes:—"But wait; the family is not complete without the addition of smiling and obliging Willie Davies, who who can be truthfully described as the com- pletion of a happy and accomplished family." Our blessing be upon them WONDERFUL PICTURES.—No one should miss seeing the splendid programme of ani- mated pictures presented by Mr. Harry Rey- nolds at the Public Hall. Those who had not the good fortune to be in London at the time of the funeral of our late King Edward VII. should do the next best thing and go to see the repro- duction by the cinematograph of the magnifi- cent, awe-inspiring spectacle which when once seen will never be forgotten. Never has there been such a gathering of the world's rulers as followed, with bowed heads, in the wake of King Edward's remains and these in the picture are clearly recognisable. The Biblical story of "Bel- shazzar's Feast; or the Writing on the Wall is a powerful subject of absorbing interest. The scene depicting the destruction of Babylon is truly magnificent. "All on account of the milk is a bright comedy, cleverly worked out. There is a special matinee every wet afternoon. On wet nights the Serenaders appear in con- junction with the animated pictures. OBITUARY.—WTe regret to announce the death of an old resident in the person of Mr. Thomas McCann, of West View, Brettenham- road, which occurred on Sunday evening after an illness of two months' duration. Mr. Mc- Cann had resided in Colwyn for over thirty years. He leaves a widow, two sons, Messrs. John and Thomas McCann, and five daughters. He was sixty-eight years of age, and his family are faithful members of St. David's Welui Church. The funeral will take place to-day (Thursday), at Colwyn Cemetery, the cortege being timed to leave the house at 2.30 p.m. POLICE COURT.-At a special Police Couit ,held on Tuesday, before Councillors George Bevan and J. Berth Jones, William Edwards, a native of Bala, was sentenced to month's hard labour for begging in the Llannerch-road. Evi. dence was given by P.C. William Evans, who effected the arrest. Mr. Bevan said the Bench were determined to put a stop to the begging in the town, and future offenders would be severe- ly dealt with.

Freeman was the chief speaker at the Sunday evening service held on the Promenade. There was a fair attendance, and the service was bright and hearty. THE EISTEDDFOD.—Choral entries for the National Eisteddfod in September next are already being received, and in many instances members of the choirs and their friends will reach the town the day before the respective contests. Those who are in a position to pro- vide accommodation are invited to send particu- lars to the General Secretary, at the Eisteddfod Office. The contractors for the pavilion propose to begin work in ten days or a fortnight. NOTABLE COLLECTION OF ANTIQUES. —As will be seen from our advertising columns, Mr. H. F. Ashby is holding an important sale of antiques at his Central Auction Mart on Friday of this week, at which will be offered some fine sheraton and chippendale style suites, very fine Adam's sideboard and dining room suites, old Welsh oak dressers, and corner cupboards, grandfather's clocks, old mahogany bureau, costly and superior Dutch Marqueterie gentle- man's wardrobe, a very fine collection of old china, including Worcester, Crown Derby, Whiel- don, Coalport, old Staffordshire, salt glaze, Mason's, &c. Also some very fine Baxter & Le Blond prints, old pewter and brass ware, &c. We are informed that this is the finest collection of antiques yet shewn in Colwyn Bay, and those interested in such things would do well to call at the Mart and view the lots, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., to-day. FOR THE CHILDREN.—We have pleasure in calling attention to the fact that a street col- lection has been arranged to be made in Colwyn Vay, on Saturday, June 11th, in aid of the Na- tional Children's Home and Orphanage, Bonner- road, London, N.E., which is one of the largest child saving institutions in the world. It was established in 1869, and has of recent years made very rapid progress. More than 00 chil4dren were received last year, and more than 2,000 are now in its care. The Home has branches in London, Birmingham, Lancashire, York- shire, Cheshire, Farn borough (Hants), Al- verstoke (Hants), Chipping Norton, Chadling- ton, Essex, Isle of Man, and Canada. A new Southern Branch is about to be established at Harpenden (Herts). A sanatorium for children threatened with consumption is nearly ready for occupation. Every branch is conducted on the family system, and special care is given to crip- pled and afflicted children. Children are re- ceived without regard to creed. The most needy child has always the first claim. The boys and girls receive a thorough elementary education and industrial training. Mr. Fred Sutcliffe, of Hazel Mount, is the local Honorary Secretary for the street collection, and he also will be pleased to give information as to the work and receive offers of assistance from friends willing to help. We understand that nearly 200 child- ren have been received from Wales, and sincerely trust that the collectors will meet with the gen- erous response which the movement so richly deserves. CHURCH PARADE.—On Sunday week, being the Sunday nearest to Empire Day, the local Company of Territorials attended St. Paul's Church, under Second Lieutenant F. H. Borthwick, officer commanding, the parade being a full dress one. The two Companies of Boy Scouts and the members of the Boys' Brigade, under Captain Prichard, were also in attendance, and these latter again held a Church Parade the Sunday of the present week. ANNUAL HOLIDAY.—Yesterday (Wednes- day) was observed as a public holiday in Colwyn Bay, the occasion being the annual outing of the United Sunday Schools of the town. The Urban I District Council had issued a request that all places of business should be closed for the day, but although the majority of the tradespeople I complied with this wish, a considerable minority thought fit to disregard it, and kept their shops open. The official excursion was to Blackpool, and two hundred and twenty-nine passengers proceeded there by the early special train. Some of the Sunday Schools had picnics of their own in the neighbourhood. A special excursion boat which called at Rhos Pier conveyed a large num- ber of people to Liverpool. EISTEDDFOD CHOIR.—At Monday even- ing's rehearsal the choir had the pleasure of welcoming Dr. David Jenkins, the celebrated Welsh composer, who paid a special visit in order to hear a rendering of his Psalm of Life," which will be performed at one of the Eisteddfod concerts. Under the capable conductorship of Mr. John Williams, the choir rose to the occasion, and Mr. Jenkins was delighted with their inter- pretation of his work, as was testified by his fre- quent exclamations of Bravo." During the course of the evening the gifted composer gave a short address containing much valuable ad- vice. Mr. John Williams was more than grati- fied with the manner in which the choir acquitted themselves, and with the cordial praise of so high an authority on choral singing as the veter- an doctor. Mr. Jenkins proceeded by the 9.53 p.m. train to Llandudno, and was accompanied to the station by his old friend, the Rev. Thomas Parry, J.P., as well as by Mr. John Williams, and some of the members of the choir. REYNOLDS' SERENADERS.—The smartly- attired company of artistes who appear at Bohemia," the gaily-decorated pavilion on the East Promenade, are thrice daily a source of attraction to numbers of residents and visitors. The new comers are now firmly established in the estimation of the habitues, and the numer- ous new items which have been introduced are being well received. The laughable sketches are as capably performed as ever, and never fail to draw forth hearty laughter. Every Wednes- day a "request night" is held, at which the various songs, concerted numbers, and inter- ludes are as chosen by members of the audience. This is a very popular event, and is interesting as showing which items rank highest in popular favour. In the case of unpropitious weather, the Serenaders appear at the Public Hall in the even- ing, in conjunction with the animated pictures, the two entertainments constituting an attrac- tion which invariably fills the building.

RHOS-ON-SEA. ST. TRILLO'S FANCY FAIR AND PAT- RONAL FETE.—Great preparations are being made in order to ensure the success of the above Fair to be held in the grounds of the Rhos Pre: paratory School, on June 15th and 16th. All the stall holders are actively employed, and the stalls will be very picturesque and attractive. Rehearsals for the Pageant play, Olwen of the Monks' Weir," to be performed on both days, are being ardently carried out under the super- intendence of the Vicar, Rev. E. James Evans. This drama should prove interesting to all those who reside in this part of the world, or who visit it for a holiday, for it gives, in dramatic form, the history of the old Fishing Weir and Rhos Fynach. We understand, too, that this week will be pub- lished a small souvenir of Llandrillp-yn-Rhos, compiled by the Rev. T. E. Tomothy, which will contain the history of such places as Llys Euryn, Rhos Fynach, Capel Trillo, Llandrillo Church, &c. The souvenir should be interesting not only to visitors but to residents. It will con- tain, besides the archaeological history of the above-mentioned places, the drama Ednyfed Fychan," by Rev. E. James Evans, performed with much success two years ago, and also the drama, Olwen of the Monks' Weir," by the Rev. T. E. Timothy. This booklet, well-illus- trated (price Is. 6d., postage extra) can be ob- tained by application to Mrs. Evans, The Vicar- age, Llandrillo-yn-Rhos; or to the Verger of 0 the Parish Church, Mr. J. R. Tozer, Clasdir, Colwyn-crescent, Rhos-on-Sea, Colwyn Bay.

I LLANDUDNO. PROPERTY SALE.—An important property sade took place at the North-Western Hotel, I Llandudno, on Friday night, the auctioneer be- ing Mr. F. J. Sarson. A building estate situa- I ted at West Llandudno was offered and the greater part of it was sold. The land lies be- tween the West Parade and Great Orme's-road, with the exception of a few lots facing Lloyd- street extension and four on the east side of Great Orrne's-road. The electric tram lines run in front of the land abutting on West Parade, and beyond the tram line is the West Prom- enade and the sea. It is understood that the prices realised were somewhat less than those at which the vendors purchased during the boom years of the early nineties, but at the same time the result was considered quite satis- factory under present market conditions. The highest price per yard realised was 8s. 6d., and the total result of the sale was C4,035, twenty- five of the thirty-six building plots being dis- posed of. Among the purchasers were Mr. Philip Conway, of London; Mr. -Richard Dunphy, of Llandudno, and Mr Arthur Hewitt, of Llandudno. The whole of the land is free- hold. A FAMOUS STAMP.—His Maiesty King George V. is an enthusiastic philatellist, and it is interesting to note that one of the most precious stamp in his ceollection was brought to light by a Llandudno lady. We refer to the the 2d. Mauritius stamp which His Maiesty bought at auction for ZI,450, and which is de- scribed in Tuesday's Daily Mail as the finest known copy of the stamp. The lady, a Craigy- don resident, some years ago discovered the stamp quite accidentally in a London suburb, where she was visiting friends, and it was in consequence of her high opinion that it was sent to auction. The stamp formed part of a collection made by the master of the house when a schoolboy in the sixties of the nineteenth century. A picture of this valuable specimen is given in the Daily Mail." MUCH-NEEDED FACILITIES.—The Car- narvonshire County Council have appointed a committee to consider the best means of pro- viding a public road between Llandudno and Colwyn Bay. LA MARGUERITE."—Much pleasure has been felt at the reappearance of that magnificent steamer, La Marguerite," the premier boat of the Liverpool and North Wales Steamship Co. The Splendidly equipped steamer was largely patronised by a large number of excursionists during the last few days. THE PRINCE'S ORCHESTRA.—Local mus- icians have this week an opportunity of listening to a couple of pleasing compositions by the musical conductor of this bijou theatre, Mr. Haydn P. Halstead, viz., overture, La Mili- taire," and a gavotte entitled Maimie." Both compositions are heartily applauded at their renderings each evening. TOWN IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION.— The annual report and balance-sheet of the Llandudno Town Improvement Association for the year ended the 31st December last has been issued, and shows the receipts for the year to be £ 653 15s. 6d., which, together with Cioo 8s. 1 id., makes tIV receipts Z754 4s.

PRINCE S THEATRE.—For this week Mr. Macara has engaged the popular comedians, "August, September, and May," who come with a great reputation from the Tower, Blackpool. The other artistes are Ike Bradley, knockabout cyclist; that smart pair, Hilder and Hilder, duettists and dancers; Mint and Mart, eccen- tric paper tearers and comedy patterers, and the popular comedy artistes, Bert Langdon and Molly Bee, in their screamingly funny burlesque The Artist and the Footman." All the "turns" are most acceptable, and the splendid biograph has all the latest fixtures, including The late King's Funeral," Grahame White's Flight," &c. On wet days there will be, morning pic- ture performances at 11 o'clock, and every even- ing during the week a special matinee per- formance. CHURCHILL'S MINSTRELS.—Large at- tendances daily greet the appearance of Mr. Churchill and his merry men on the natural amphitheatre in the Happy Valley, at three o'clock.

THE PIER CONCERTS.—On Saturday even- ing the special vocalist was Madame C: Glee- son White, soprano, who was in beautiful voice, and Mr. Roland Jackson has been delighting the audiences with his fine tehor songs. The Pavilion, with its new accessories and illumin- ations, looks a palace of pleasure. PIER BIOSCOPE.—Mr. S. Hughes, jun., must be more than gratified at the appreciation shown by the public of his splendid exhibition of pictures. Crowded houses have nightly watched the splendid film of the late King's funeral, and the appreciation has been of an admiring and sympathetic nature. A visit to the Pier Palace of Varieties is one of the most pleasing events to visitors and townspeople alike. BOWLS.—On Saturday Llandudno meet Rhyl in a match at the home green. Llandudno have not yet been able to vanquish their Rhyl rivals in their previous meetings. On this occasion a strong team will represent Llandudno.

II PENMAENMAWR. THE PARISH HALL.—Further subscrip- tions for the object of erecting a Parish Hall I have been received from Mrs. and Miss Jones- Hughes, and also from Mrs. Wright, the total now reaching /439. CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL.—On Saturday the Sunday School scholars of the Ebenezer Welsh Wesleyan Chapel attended the children's festival and prize distribution at Bangor. The children were very highly commended for the excellent position thev held in the recent Scrip- tural examinations, and several prizes were brought back to Penmaenmawr. PROMENADE LIGHTING.—This week the local Gas Company have erected two experi- mental gas lamps on the Promenade, with the object of giving the local Council an opportunity of seeing the effect of gas lighting on the Pro- menade, as compared with electric light and petrol gas. It is probable that the Council will make an inspection of the lights on Friday night. A WARNING TO TERRITORIALS.—At Ruthin Police Court, on Monday, William John Potts, who some years ago worked at Penmaen- mawr, and was a member of the old Volunteer Corps, was charged with making a false declara- tion when being recruited as a member of the force. It was stated that the defendant had filled in an attestation paper stating that he had not served in any branch of the Army or Navy. At the first drill, the Ruthin Sergeant-Instructor noticed that he knew a good deal about it, and the defendant then admitted that he had acted as groom to Colonel Darbishire, commanding the 4th Battalion.—Colour-Sergeant-Instructor Cox, Penmaenmawr, proved that the defendant had served in his Company, and that he was dis- charged in 1907 for unsatisfactory conduct.— The Magistrates imposed a fine of 7s. 6d. and costs. TERRITORIAL CONCERT.—The concert arranged by the members of the Territorials for the benefit of Private W. Williams, Tai Coed, who has been seriously ill for some time, and which was postponed a fortnight ago on account of the King's death, was held in the Oxford Hall on Friday evening, when Colonel C. H. Darbishire presided. The hall was packed to its utmost capacity, amongst those attending being the new Adjutant of the Company, Captain St. John, Captain Jenkins, and Lieutenant H. W. Darbi- shire. The programme was an enjoyable one, and the items were greatly appreciated. The opening selection Reminiscences of Wales," by the Orchestral Society, under the leadership of Mr. L. F. Bartle, was excellent, and this was fol- lowed by the song Cartref," by Mr. H. Morris. The Male Voice Choir, conducted by Mr.H. Christ- mas Jones, gave a spirited rendering of Y Delyn Aur," after which members of the Terri- torial Company, under Colour-Sergeant-Instruc- tor Cox, gave an excellent display of bayonet exercises and physical drill with rifles. Mr. Gordon Chantrey sang At a minute to seven last night," and Lieutenant Darbishire after- wards gave a lantern exhibition On the way to camp," which proved very interesting. A comic song by Mr. Dan Roberts, was loudly applauded. The second part of the programme was opened with a descriptive selection by the Orchestral Society entitled The Victoria Cross." The selection was exceedingly good, introducing. Enlistment of a Territorial, life in barracks, the troops' farewell, camping for the night, alarm, furious battle, hero wounded, Sisters of Mercy tending the wounded, voyage home, honoured by the King, and a soldier and a man. The descriptive part was supplied by the local Com- pany, under Instructor Cox. Corporal E. H. Evans taking the part of the hero, and Miss A. L. Phillips as the Sister of Mercy. A recitation followed by Mr. Dan Roberts, and the Male Voice Choir gave a rendering of Battle of the the Baltic," which is one of the test pieces at the National Eisteddfod. A piccolo solo was given by Lance-Corporal H. Jones, and Private W. E. Jones (Quil) appeared and kept the audi- ence roaring with his comic song, My husband left me again." Lantern slides of Aberystwyth, the scene of the forthcoming camp, were thrown on the screen by Lieutenant Darbishire, and a Welsh song by Mr. H. Morris concluded a very interesting programme. The usual thanks were accorded, on the motion of Captain Jenkins. This is the third benefit concert that has been arranged by members of the local Territorials on behalf of sick members of the Company, and handsome amounts have been realised on each occasion.

LLANFAIRFECHAN. DANCE.—On Wednesday evening of last week, in connection with the May Day festivi- ties, a very successful Cinderella dance was held in the Public Hall, which was largely attended. The M.C. was Mr. F. H. Hughes, the secretary of the festivities, and the music was supplied bv Miss Littlehale, Messrs. W. R. Warr and W. Man- ley. The refreshments were provided by Mr. Goodall, confectioner. DEATH OF A SCHOOLBOY.—On Sunday Iorwerth Pryce, the seven-year-old son of Mr. Hughes, painter and decorator, died somewhat suddenly. The little lad was a pupil in the Na- tional School, and his fellow class boys have subscribed for a beautiful wreath, which was placed on his coffin at the funeral yesterday (Wednesday). It is over nine years ago since a pupil of the National Schools died, and during the 21 years that Mr. Timmins has been head- master, there have been only four deaths amongst the scholars. THE COUNCIL'S SCHEME.News is daily expected that the scheme for improving the model yacht pond and the laying out of the new recreation ground is sufficiently matured to en- able the Council to take definite steps to apply for the necessary loan. We understand that the Council are practically unanimous in their decision to proceed with the matter. One of the leading features of the recreation ground will be a good, broad racing track, and this, of course will run around the edge of the whole enclosure. PROMENADE ENTERTAINMENTS.—A correspondent writes to the effect that he sin- cerely hopes the Council will not make the same blunder in the matter of providing promenade entertainments as they did last season. It is a matter of common knowledge that they refer all applications for permission to perform on the promenade to a sub-committee, who did not let the performers know in time to enable them to make an engagement with the approach of the season, the applicants deem it wise to make arrangements with those towns who can close with them in good time.

LLANDDULAS. PARISH COUNCIL.—The monthly meeting was held on Tuesday, the 24th inst. Present: Rev. Canon C. F. Roberts (Chairman), Rev. J. A. Enoch, Messrs. B. II. Jones, Edwin Jones, R. B. Roberts, Hugh Hughes and D. Williams; with the Clerk, Mr. T. Morris Jones. Mr. B. II. Jones reported an interview with the Chair- man of Directors of the Llanddulas Quarry Co., who promised to repair the footpath from Lodge to Mmffordd. Mr. Jones and Mr. Enoch were thanked for their services. It was decided to press upon Mr. R. W. Wynne the necessity of fulfilling his obligation to put a siife or gate from the footpath adjoining Bodafon through the Glebe also it was decided to write re foot- path from Ty Melyn to Ty'nyffordd, as it is in a very bad state. The wall along the highway at' Bronwendon crossing was also under ob- servation, and as this matter has several times been complained about to the Highway Sur- veyor, it was decided to press upon him to take action to get it repaired. A heated discussion took place re arranging the bathing machines in line, an amendment being proposed for their owners to put them where they liked, but this was lost, and the proposal to have them set in line was carried. The state of Maesydon-road during floods was under consideration for a long while, and finally it was decided to ask the Rural District Council to erect another wall in the bed of the river high enough to keep the water from the road, and also to gain the old course of the river so that the road may be widened at this point. The salary of the As- sistant Overseer was under observation, and it was decided to vote a rise of _f io yearly in his remuneration. WATER FOR THE QUARRY.—At the meet- ing of the St. Asaph Rural District Council, on Friday, the Llanddulas Quarry Co. wrote ask- ing for permission to take water per meter from the Llanddulas main for their boiler at the quarry. At present, the letter stated, they had to rely upon rain and river water, and the water often being dirty caused them great trouble with their boilers. The Company as- serted that their neighbours were allowed to take water from the main for their quarries, while they (the Company) had been large rate- payers for a large number of years. They em- ployed a large number of men, and they hoped to have the assistance of those Councillors who had advocated that local industries should be supported in every way. It was also averred that the contractors for the new Parish Hall at IJanddulas had been allowed to take water from the main, and they failed to see why they should not be allowed to do so. The Chairman said he did not think they ought to object to the Company having water. They would have it by meter. Canon Roberts pointed out that the number of houses in the district might increase and more water be required for domestic pur- poses, so that if the Company were allowed to take water, the supply should only be granted conditionally that there would be no shortage for domestic purposes. The Clerk said that see- ing the supply was only for domestic purposes, he rather doubted whether the Council would not be doing contrary to their agreement in al- lowing the Company to have water. Still, he thought that the Rhyl Council would not object to the supply, seeing that it would be taken _by meter. Mr. Robert Davies said he believed- he was not sure-that the Company pumped a considerable quantity of water into the sea. Could not this water be used for the boiler? The matter was adjourned to enable the Rhyl Council to be consulted.
