Wesleyan Bazaar at Abergele.
Wesleyan Bazaar at Abergele. The Wesleyans of Abergele were decidedly unfortunate in the matter of weather, when their three days' bazaar was opened yesterday (Wednesday). Nevertheless, the spacious school- room of St. Paul's was well filled when Miss Gaynor Roberts, Prestatyn (daughter of the late lamented Rev. J. Price Roberts), opened the pro- ceedings with a really glorious rendering of Y mae Gwlad." Mr. G. T. Evans, Haulfryn, who presided, ex- tended a hearty welcome to Mrs. Radcliffe, who had so kindly attended to declare the bazaar open. He was also glad to see Mr. Radcliffe present-for he was always attended by sun- shine. (Applause). Mrs. Radcliffe (who was accompanied by Miss Doris Radcliffe and Master Derwent Radcliffe) stepped on the platform and said I have much pleasure in declaring the bazaar open, and I wish it every success." (Applause.) Master William Glynne Needham, the young son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Needham, Bro Dawel, then presented Mrs. Radcliffe with a magnifi- cent bouquet of flowers, Mrs. Radcliffe return- ing the compliment with a kiss. On the motion of the Rev. David Morris, seconded by Mr. J. R. Ellis, Mrs. Radcliffe was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for performing the opening ceremony. Mr. Radcliffe responded on behalf of his wife. The Rev. D. Darley Davies moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman, to Miss Gaynor Roberts, and to Mr. Gwilym Morgan (the accompanist) for for their gratuitous services. In the evening entertainments were given by Ap Harri, the famous Welsh ventriloquist, and local talent. The list of stall-holders appears on page 9. Z" -4-

LLANGERNYW.
LLANGERNYW. OBITUARY.—The death occurred last week of Mrs. Elizabeth Jones (late of Llangernyw) at the residence of her son, Mr. John Jones, of Bangor, at the advanced age of 87 years. The deceased was the mother of Professor Henry Jones, M.A., LL.D., Glasgow. Her remains were brought over and interred at Llangernyw Churchyard on Thursday. C.M. CHAPEL CONCERT. A special correspondent present has supplied us with the following report:—"A highly successful con- cert was held last Saturday evening in the C.M. Chapel under the chairmanship of Mr. Cernyw Jones, of Liverpool, in aid of the new chapel building fund, A substantial profit was real- ized. An interesting feature of the programme was some excellently rendered chamber music by four gentlemen from Liverpool under the direction of Mr. Adolf Voethe. The newness, coupled with the masterly playing of the instru- mentalists, will make the concert ever memor- able to those present. Welsh audiences are accustomed to hearing good vocal music-choral and otherwise, but have seldom the opportunity of becoming acquainted with the rich store of concerted music for stringed instruments. On this score, the concert was refreshing in its new- ness and elevating in its character. Two move- ments from a quart^*tte by Reissiger were thoroughly enjoyed by the audience who were at a loss which most to admire, the skilful render- ing, or the excellence of the compositions. An arrangement of Welsh, melodies for three strings and the piano delighted the audience beyond measure, and met with rapturous applause. The well-known old melodies came like old friends in a new garb and awakened memories such as only national melodies can. Inter- spersed with the instrumental quartetts were some violin solos by Ir. Maurice Konger and a pianoforte solo The Brook by Mr. Stanlev Prescott. Mr. Henry Simpson skilfully mani- pulated the 'cello in the concerted items, and Mr. Voethe was responsible for the viola parts. The vocal items were contributed by Miss Augusta Davies, Miss Jennie Jones, the Tu. hwnt i'r afon quartett, and fr. W. H. Davies, all of whom acquitted themselves admirably. Miss Davies sang very tastefully. Miss Jones is the possessor of a fine, rich voice. Mr. W. H. Davies is a host in himself and quite sustained his reputation and popularity. The success of the concert is due to the indefatigable efforts of Miss Lloyd, Ty du, to whom Llangernyw is in debted for undoubtedly the finest concert ever given in the Tillage. We understand that she was ably assisted in the arrangements by the chairman and his good lady, whose generosity to Liangernyw is unbounded." The name of Mr. R. Manod Owen ought also to be included as another who contributed to the success of this concert, whilst Miss Kitty Jones, The Gardens, ably fulfilled her duties as accom- panist. The piano for the occasion was kindly lent by Mr. John Jones, The College.

DR. HUGH WATSON Fox. MISSIONARY VA.N.-The Griffith John missionary van paid a visit to the village dur- ing the week-end. An address in connection with the same was delivered on Monday even- ing, at Tabernacle Chapel. THE MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—The annual musical festival was held on Saturday, at Pen- machno. A large number of singers from Bet- tws-y-Coed attended. The conductor was Mr. David Jenkins, Mus. Bac. He attended the ser- vice at Bryn Mawr on Sunday evening, and at the close of the service the usual society was put off in favour of a rehearsal with the veteran conductor. He also delivered a short and ap- propriate address dealing with congregational singing. REHEARSAL.—On Friday evening a re- hearsal in connection with the Children's Fes- tival will take place at Bryn Mawr, when Gutyn Arfon will be the leader. This is in prepara- tion for the annual event to be held at Dol- wyddelen. DUST-LAYING.—The dust nuisance is a question that has troubled the mijids of Bettws Councillors for some years. The usual method of watering appeared to meet with little effect. The new Council, however, at once set about to reme;y matters, and at their meeting on Fri- day a resolution was passed that a deputation should meet the County Surveyor to discuss the possibility of carrying into effect the method of dust-laying by tar as now adopted at Llan- dudno and other places with considerable effect. It was understood that the cost would be about Z60 per mile, and taking the whole length of the Council's area, the expense would be about £ ~o. Monday's meeting decided in favour of that course being adopted, and the same will come before the County- Surveyor's Committee for their approval, after which the work will at once be carried out. Part<pf the cost will be defrayed by the county authority. THE WATERLOO BRIDGE.—On Monday a deputation consisting of members of the Den- bighshire and Carnarvonshire County Councils in company with the County Surveyor, paid a visit to the Waterloo Bridge with a view of con- sidering the desirability of having the structure strengthened so as to carry all kinds of traction traffic with safety. After the inspection a meet- ing was held held at the Waterloo Hotel, Mr. John Owen, Llandudno, presiding. Both Coun- cils as represented were favourable to the scheme, and a resolution to carry out the same will be brought before the two Councils for adoption. A FORMER PASTOR.—Last Sunday the preacher at Tabernacle was the Rev. Thomas Evans, Amlwch, who during the seventies was pastor of Tabernacle, and who still has a large circle of friends at Bettws. DEATH OF DR. LLEWELLYN KURTY PRICHARD.—It was with profound regret that the many friends and patients of Dr. Prichard heard on Friday last that he had passed away at Birmingham. For some time the sad news had been expected, yet everyone hoped against hope that such a useful life should yet be spared for many more years, as he was only 39 years of age. Dr. Prichard was the youngest son of the late Rev. John Prichard, vicar of Capel Garmon, and took his degrees at the University College Hospital, London. He was M.R.C.S. and L.R.C.P. Leaving the hospital in 1902, he commenced practice at iBettwsycoed. He was exceedingly clever in his profession, added to which was his unfailing kindness to the poor and suffering. There is no doubt that his life was one sacrificed to duty, in order to fulfill which he often exceeded his strength. His practice was extensive, reaching from Cerrig-y- Druidion on the one side to Ogwen and Pen-y- Gwryd on the other side, and including Ysbyty, Nebo, Dolwyddelen, and the adjoining parishes. He was elected an Urban Councillor three years ago, and acted in that capacity whilst his health permitted. He was an extremely valuable Councillor, for it was he who always reported on the Medical Officer's annual report, and his suggestions were timely and popular. He was also sidesman at St. Mary's Church. He had a happy disposition, and his early demise will be mourned by everyone who came in contact with him. The greatest sympathy is felt for the widow and children as well as his sisters, Mrs. Taylor and Miss Prichard, and Mr. John Prichard, his brother. The funeral took place at Birmingham on Tuesday, an account of which will appear in our next issue. VAGRANCY.—On Friday, before Messrs. T. P. Osborne Yale and R. Parry, two men named Thomas Brown and Edward Davies, Liverpool, were charged with vagrancy. P.C. Evans having given evidence, a sentence of 14 days hard labour was imposed.

---" Loyal Llanfairfechan."
Loyal Llanfairfechan." We have received several letters from Welsh- men living at a distance thanking us for the prompt steps taken by the Weekly News to re- fute the charge of disloyalty which had been brought against the Nonconformists of Llan- fairfechan in a London paper. One of these letters, from a young man in London, who is a native of Llandudno Junction, expresses his thanks in a very warm-hearted manner. An- other is from a stoker upon the H.M.S. Shannon, who states that the Welsh members of the crew' numbering about twenty, on receiving the Week- ly News, expressed their gratification by three hearty cheers. All the letters we have received go to show that the action of the Weekly News is keenly appreciated.
Popular Llanrwst Wedding.I
Popular Llanrwst Wedding. WILLIAMS—MILLS. One of the prettiest weddings we have wit- nessed at Llanrwst took place on Wednesday morning at Horeb Wesleyan Church. The contracting parties were Mr. John Richard Williams (London City & Midland Bank, Bar- mouth), son of Mr. Richard Williams, Union tiouse, torwen, ana iviiss mouwen lviins, tnira daughter of Mr. Edward Mills, J.P., and Mrs. Mills, Fron Eirian, Llanrwst. The church was tastefully decorated for the occasion with a profusion of palms and white flowers. The centre portion was reserved for the wedding party and guests. The ceremony was performed by the Revs. T. C. Roberts and P. Jones Roberts, in the pre- sence of the Registrar, Mr. Alfred T. Hughes. The chapel was filled with the many friends of both parties, the bride being one of the most popular young ladies in the town, whilst the bridegroom was well-known by reason of his long stay at the North & South Wales Bank, where he was stationed previous to his removal to Barmouth. The bride looked charming as she was led up the aisle by her father to the beautiful strains of Lohengrin's Bridal March." She was at- tired in a dress of cream silk creponne, embroi- dered with silver trimming, and wore a cream silk net hat trimmed with cream feathers. She carried a choice bouquet of white roses, lilies of the valley. and asparagus ferns, and wore a gold bracelet and pearl brooch, the gifts of the bride- grrom. The bride was attended by two brides- maids, Miss Olwen Mills (sister of the bride) and Miss Williams (sister of the bridegroom). They wore dresses of pale blue crepe de chine, with black hats, and carried bouquets of gladioli. Their ornaments included a pearl and amethyst brooch, the gift of the bridegroom. The grooms- men were Dr. Edwards, Corwen, and Mr. Thomas, B.Sc., Barmouth. While the register was being signed, the or- ganist, Mr. Morley Jones,, played Mendelsohn's Wedding March." THE RECEPTION. After the ceremony, the party adjourned to Fron Eirian, the bride's parents' home, where the reception was held, the guests including Rev. T. C. Roberts and Mrs. Roberts, Rev. P.

Isolation Hospital, Croesynyd.
Isolation Hospital, Croesynyd. To the Editor of The Weekly News. Sir,—If you will kindly allow me a small space in your valuable paper, I should like to draw attention to the new white elephant at Croesynyd. It is surprising that so little interest is taken in this building, and that so many are ignorant of the way things have been carried on with this, the latest fad of those who amuse themselves in spending the ratepayers' money. You printed some time ago a report of the Local Government Board Inquiry held in con- nection with the above. In reading that report, I was very much struck with the enormous sums paid to officials in connection with the works. Perhaps, in order to carry out the contract in the time stipulated, and in the manner at first proposed, these sums were necessary. But to do this, the Joint Hospital Board must have known was impossible, as, I believe I am correct in say- ing the works were commenced before the Board had received the sanction of the Local Govern- ment Board to build this or any other Hospital. Consequently, there has been delay from the very first, and these delays add to the expense. Who is to be held responsible ? Are the rate- payers expected to pay the extra expense that is the result of what seems to be, in my opinion, bad management ? Now that only a small por- tion of the Isolation Hospital has been erected, and that the works were practically at a stand- still, could not some attempt at saving be made ? Take, for instance, the two pounds ten shillings weekly which is paid to the clerk of works, who at present supervises in the interest of the Board the work of about half a dozen men, and on some days less than that. A clerk of works at that wage was perhaps necessary if the contract had been carried out as intended and the contractor been able to employ a hundred or more men but as things are now, is a clerk of works at all necessary ? Could not the architect do the supervision required ?
