The Infirmary Site. "ART IS I.ONG, AND TIME IS FLEETING." To the CITIZENS OF MANCHESTER. The question of the above site is engaging the attention of various committees and others who are interested in the City's welfare, and as an old Manchester boy who still has an interest and an affection for the town of his birth, I should like to say a few words in favour of the claims of the Art Gallery. I have watched the city grow for upwards of sixty years, and have noticed that whilst other interests have been first extended then rebuilt to keep pace with the increasing growth and importance of our dear old town, the City Art Gallery, or, as it wa& first named, the Royal Manchester Institution, Is allowed to remain as it was eighty years ago no advance in the housing of the growing col- lection of the ne arts which give such proud distinction, importance and dignity to many Continental places. Rome, Paris, Brussels, Ant- werp and other centres are all In advance of us, they have art collections of world-wide fame and palatial buildings to house them in. These enchanting collections and almost priceless treasures are an immense attraction.. Here in Manchester is our Art Gallery practi- cally without a site. It was built from designs by Mr. Barry (afterwards Sir Charles Barry), and was opened in 1830; it cost about £3°,000. Now. T maintain this is not sumcient ior a city, the second in importance in England. It is the centre of the most thickly populated district in the country, and in art matters deserves more consideration. There is no question about the Infirmary site being decidedly the one for a noble Temple of Art. If the powers that be will provide a build- ing which will be a credit to our wealthy city, the treasures which we already possess will be better seen, and others will in time, as surely as night follows day, come in; and the gallery and its contents will be the admiration of thousands of visitors who annually crowd the northern metropolis. The citizens would point with pride to this palace of art and glory in its possession. Do what you will you cannot get away from a.rt, it is necessary to everything we possess, it is all around us wherever we go, and its cultiva- tion placed Greece frst in the Temple of Fame. Y see the Royal Manchester Institution for the promotion of literature, science, and the arts had its origin in a general meeting of the in- habitants held in the Exchange Room, October the first, 1823, Dr. Davenport Hulme in the chair. Cannot another town's meeting be held to press the Art Gallery question forcibly upon the Art Gallery Committee and the City Council? During the year ending March, 1839, there were two exhibitions, one of ancient and one of modern paintings! The first was attended by 3212 persons, and the latter by 4129. Compare these figures with the present attendance at the various exhibitions now held in the City Art Gallery, and I think you will agree that there is an urgent want of space. The natural growth of the city requires and demands increased accommodation; look at the cramped buildings in Mosley-street; in the entrance hall is a noble bronze group. I put it to anyone with taste, can it be seen? Oh, yes* it can be seen, and felt too, for there's not room enough to get round it for fair inspection. A noble work waiting for a better hall; the present one in all seriousness is not up-to-date. And why should Manchester, so up-to-date in many things, neglect the Fine Arts whose refining and enobl- ing influence is admitted on all hands, and where should such up-lifting surroundings be but in our very midst, the very centre, which draws from all points of the compass? I may say that every family in some form or other endeavours to make their home cheerful and bright by some art treasure which is precious to the possessor, and which in its way uplifts, elevates, and brightens life and home. Then why not one and, all in combination sup- port the representatives of the city in placing in a central and conspicuous position an Art Gallery which will be the brightest ornament in the good old city for ages still to come? It is hardly necssary to ask the Arts Com- mittee to go and see what Art Committees are doing on the Continent.for it is generally known that the Fine Arts occupy a very large share of the attention of those responsible for the higher attainments of the cities they represent. Hold back no longer:— 11 "You, too, proceed, make falling Arts your care, Erect new wonders, and the old repair." -Po,pe. Make it of the highest degree of beauty, hide the backs and ends of those old warehouses. Open space for five years No, no,—emphati- cally—No' There's no comparison between the site and Trafalgar-square, which is over- looked by the National Gallery with its glorious collection of Art Treasures. Place the new gallery well back from Piccadily that it may conspicuously display its imposing and magnifi- cent front, there will still be a fine open space in addition to an Art Gallery right worthy of the richest commercial city in the Empire.

Music by the Sea. CONCERTS AT THE VICTORIA PIER PAVILION, COLWVN BAY. The past week has been a memorable one in the annals of the Victoria Pier Company, each concert having been extremly well patronised. It is believed that a record for a sacred con- cert was achieved on Sunday, and certain it is that no audience of such proportions has attend- ed a Sunday evening concert ia recent years It is evident that the orchestra, under the baton of Mr. W Forrest-Hague, has now secured for itself a high measure of popularity, and it is certain that during the remaining weeks of the season, when exclusively concert programmes will be given, the accommodation of the Pavil- ion will be fully taxed. A POPULAR VOCALIST. The vocalist on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the evening concerts was Mr. Charles Tree, who added yet another success to the long list of triumphs achieved at the Pavilion. Among the songs which he rendered were "A Longing and Thou'rt Passing Hence (Sullivan) If Love were all (Forster) and In the great Unknown (d'Hardelot). At the special con- cert held on Friday,Mr. Tree sang "Sea Memor- ies (Bath), Three for Jack (Squire), and Zummerzetzhire (Newton). Each of his renderings was applauded to the echo, <ind on the majority of the occasions the audience in- sisted upon his giving an encore. WELL CHOSEN PROGRAMMES. Programmes have been selected to suit all tastes, and on Thursday one was given each item of which had been requested by habitues. Among the numbers were the overture to Di Hallo (Sullivan), valse Amorettentanze (Gung'I) and the Second Hungarian Rhap- sody. A nautical programme was arranged for Fridav evening, collections being made at the close in aid of the funds of the Royal National Life-Boat Institution, the amount being for- warded through th, local Saturday Fund. In- cluded among the items were a march Sons of the Brave (Bidgood), and a selection: A life on the Ocean (Binding). A cornet solo Lend me your aid was rendered with line effect by Mr. W. L. flowney, and was encored. The overture to Mendelssohn's ''Athalie, Saint Saen's fantasia Samson et Delilah," and the overture to "Tannhauser" were performed by the orchestra on Sunday, whilst the previous even- ing the chief item in a popular and humorous concert was a piccolo solo by Mr. E. S. Redfern entitled The Keel Row (Bonnisseau). The solo was rapturously encored. The waltz Venus on Earth," and a selection "Cavalleria Rusticana were given by the orchestra. THE COSTUME COMPANY. The repertoire programme this week is pro- vided by the Anglo-Indians," a company pre. sented by Messrs. Adder, Sutton and Allandale. The artistes include Messrs. Jimmy Watson and Jackson Collis, comedians; Misses Mimi Fischer and Edna Barrett, comediennes Misses Emilie Clifford and Ethel James, soprano vocal- ists an actor vocalist, Mr. Charles North; Mr. Maynard Dakin. humorist an American coon impersonator and the eccentric dancer, Mr. BIancoJ. White, and Mr. Bert Lee, musical director. The company was well received upon the occasion of its first appearance on Monday evening, and is giving matinees daily. FORTHCOMING ARRANGEMENTS. The artistes at the concerts on Friday, Satur. dav and Sunday will be Madame Amy Atkins and Mr. William Walton. On Friday afternoon at three a recital will be given in the Pavilion by the famous violinist, Fritz Kriesler, assisted by Madame Le Mar, vocalist, and Mr. Haddon Squire, at the piano. A plan may be seen and tickets purchased at the Pier Gates. LESSONS IN SWIMMING. Professor E. J. Reddish continues to give an exhibition of life saving and high and fancy div- ing at the end of the Pier twice daily, tide and weather permitting. The Professor has recently introduced many novel features into his display, which is now valuble from the instruction which it affords in rescues from drowning.

For the Young Organ Student. Ir. T. J. Linekar, the well known musician, who is the organist of St. John's Wesleyan 'Church, Colwyn Bay, has published through ]. H. Larway, of London, a book entitled The Voung Organ Student (pp. 20, is. net). This is a work which must prove of great value and service to students of the organ, containing as it does a series of studies on hymn tunes, for the development of independence of movement between hands and feet, and of reading from alto and tenor clefs. Generally speaking, as the author remarks, the usual exercises of the Instruction Book are of little use to a young student who is looking forward to church work. It therefore occurred to Mr. Linekar that a few hymn tunes, arranged in the manner presented in his book, would prove interesting, as well as a beneficial method of gaining the necessary independence of movement between hands and feet, and at the same time be of great use in the budding organist's work, especially at rehearsals. I have tried them with most satisfactory results to my own pupils, not only frcm the above point of view but also from the point of view of giving them an idea of how to arrange music for the organ, to show how notes in common to two or more chords are to be tied or aggregated, and how to bring out or make prominent as a. solo anv of the vocal parts when it is neces- sary to support that part, either at a rehearsal or during the service." The book is, in fact, the result of long study and practical exper- ience, and a practitioner who has become such an acknowledged authority on the organ as Mr. Linekar is a safe guide to whom the aspirant will turn with confidence. We trust that this clever work will run into many editions.

Abergele's Invitation Accepted. At the annual meeting on Friday of the Cambrian Archaeologist Association, an invitation for next year's meeting was received from Abergele. Archdeacon Thomas advocated going to Cooway, and the Vicar of Merthyr strongly urged a visit to Brittany. On a division, Abergele secured 27 votes. Conway 6, and Brittany 11. Abergele was therefore chosen, and the date fixed tentatively for the second or third week in August.

Llandudno Police Court. This Court was held on Monday before Mr. Henry Kneeshaw presiding). Dr. Dutton, Dr. K. Arthur-Prichard, Dr. J. R. Williams, Messrs. L. W. Jelf Pettit, John Dowell, T. W. Grimth, Robert Roberts and E. E. Bone. OCCASIONAL LICENCE. An occasional licence was granted to the Welsh Rifle Association to sell intoxicants on the Conway Range during the Welsh Bisley be- tween the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. E PORTERAGE. Robert Jones, an outside porter residing in Nanvgamar-road, was summoned by the Dis- trict Council for a breach of the bye-laws by insisting upon excessive porterage from Thomas Reed, a Dublin visitor. Mr. A. Connolly, the Clerk of the Council, appeared to prosecute, and he stated that on the dav in question Mr. Reed asked the defend- ant to take five packages of luggage from Evans' Hotel, Vaughan-street, to the Bryn Private Hotel. Under the bye-laws the charge was 4d. per package. When the luggage had been de- livered the defendant was asked what the charge was and he replied 5S, Mr. Reed told him that it was excessive, whereupon Jones retorted that he would not accept any less. The money was paid, and in the interest of the public Mr. Reed gave information to the local authority. The defendant was fined 2S. 6d. and costs. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS MISTAKEN IDENTITY. Inspector Fleming of the R.S.P.C.A., sum- moned Hugh Roberts, Lloyd-street, for working a mare whilst in an unfit condition on the 6th August. D. Davies, Chorlton-street, was also summoned for causing the animal to be worked. Mr. Marks appeared for the defence. From the evidence adduced it appears that the mare had been suffering from fever in the feet, and was very lame. Mr. Marks here admitted that the animal suffered from tender feet, and had been seen to by a veterinary surgeon. On the previous day to the alleged offence the mare slipped in going around the Great Orme, and on the Saturday morning, when the defendant Roberts went to the stable, he could not see that the animal was suffering in any way and he took it out. While on a journey, however, Roberts saw that the mare was lame, and when he was seen by the Inspector in Mostyn-street, he was actually on the way to see the owner of the animal and to inform him that it was not fit to work. The charges weie dismissed on the payment of costs. Owen Hughes, 14, Craigydon-parade, was also charged by Inspector Fleming- with cruelly ill-treating his horse on the night of August 13th. The Inspector deposed that he was in the vicinity of the railway station on the night in question, and he saw the defendant whipping and beating his horse with the whip-stock. When remonstrated with, the defendant said the animal was a jibber. He examined the horse later and found its left eye closed, and a con- siderable quantity of matter running from it. I I The animal was in good condition, and he (the Inspector) believed it was a jibber. There was a scene in Court when John Hob- son came forward and asserted that the animal which Inspector Fleming had examined was his property, and that the defendant had never driven it at all. This was corroborated by John Owen, Ty'n-y- ffrith. P.C. Evans also deposed that it was Hobson and not Hughes who had told them that he had lost his temper. The case was dismissed. Mr Chamberlain was for the defendant. Both Hobson and Hughes are very similar in appearance, and the mistake was quite an easy one to make. DAMAGING COUNCIL TREKS. Three drivers named J. Davies, R. E. Wil- liams and Joseph Evans were each fined is. and costs for allowing their horses to damage trees belonging to the Urban Council. Mr. Conolly explained that the Council had no desire to p:ess the charges, but they brought these forward as a warning to others

Abergele Property Sate THE LAST INDUSTRY GONE. COUNCIL BUY THE TANNERY. Mr. George Gaunt, auctioneer, of Liverpool, offered for sale by public auction (to close a trust) on Monday, at the Bee Hotel, the Abergele tan- nery. which has given employment to a large number of workmen for very many years. It was fervently hoped that someone in the fellmonger- ing business would have bought the place as a going concern. But Fate ruled otherwise-and Fate has played a scurvy trick as far as Abergele is concerned. The site measures about 4,770 square yards, and is situated in the centre of the town. As a going concern, including the machinery, the bidding started at ?t,500,and reached ?J,6oo, at which figure it was withdrawn. The site was then put up as freehold land without the machin- ery. The bidding again did not give much en- couragement to the knight of the hammer. He had four bids in all-£1,300, £1,320, Z 1,350 <-nd Z 1,400, at which ngure it was knocked down to Mr. Edward Jones, i'anrallt Farm, who was "chief buyer positive" for the Abergele and Pensarn Urban District Council. We)!, it is no use blaming the Council for their enterprise. And for this reason. They were determined not to stand in the way of a likely purchaser who was anxious to buy the place to work it. Failing that ideal, they thought (and rightly) that the possession of such a central spot would eventually prove advantageous to them and the town in general. In conciusion, I shall not be divulging a secret by saying that the Council even now would not hesitate to seil"thedearo!dtanyard"(as one of the employees called it after the sale was over) to any person or persons who would work it as a going concern.

Enterprise in the Biscuit World. Messrs. Macfarlane, Lang and Co.'s biscuits have attained a remarkable degree of popularity amongst those classes of buyers best able to ad- judge the comparative merits of such dainties. This is a direct and deserved result of the firm's exceptional enterprise. During recent years Messrs. Macfarlane, Lang and Co. have special- ised in the manufacture of fruit biscuits, and have introduced in succession a series of most popular varieties, such as the Sultana Sand- wich," Currant Sandwich," Currant Cream," and Mince Pie Finger," and the latest addition to their popular series is the Sultana Cream. The makers very rightly claim for these fruit biscuits quite distinctive characteristics. The crust is rich, crisp, and short-eating, and by means of an entirely new plant which the firm specially built for the pur- pose, they have been able to secure an absolute- ly uniform distribution of fruit end in a much more generous quantity than was possible under the old conditions, when the Garibaldi bis- cuit represented the only fruit variety. The Sutana Cream is dainty in size, and is found specially suitable for holiday requirements, garden parties, picnic baskets, or the seaside. This biscuit, in fact, is all that the makers claim for it—the very last word so far in fruit sand- wich biscuits.
