Llandudno Advertiser and List of Visitors

CROWNING OF THE MAY-QUEEN, MISS MOLLIE MERRALL. Of all the arrangments, of our modern notions, of enjoyment aind, jollification on May-day, we cannot surpass or even near compare; with the interest that is taken in the function of1 crowning the May Queen. The idea, is old, but age seems, to enhance the charm of this medioeval custom. There are but, few districts where the tradition is respected, and one of them is Llandudno, and long before the 1st of May the regal representative has! been chosen, and the arrangements for the various, participators completed, dances and dancers selected, and the work of drilling the juveniles carried out, by competent and willing workers. Small wonder is it, then, that the reserved' seats have long since been snapped up, and that on: the, day ap- pointed, for the crowning, not always the, first, -of May, the, crowds that makel tracks! for the Pavilion directly the street pro- cession has' passed, seem, to grow larger every year, and on Wednesday last, judg- ing from memory, there: seemed to be, a. record gathering, for we failed to see an empty seat, throughout the entire edifice. THE PROCESSION. The band in attendance: having played various selections to wile away the time, and the stewards carried out the duties imposed upon them, of seeing the reserved ticket holders duly installed in their various .seats, every one is on the alert to .catch the first intimation of the approach- ing pageant. One does not need to lo,ok around to discover that children in arms are admitted, for from various parts of the huge pavilion an infant's solo, is from time to time, heard; when too distinctive, the band broke out into fresh melody, whether it effectively silenced a. possible budding, future May Queen we are un- able to say, for the juveniles in our; vicinity were upon their best behaviour. At, last, Mervyn. Griffiths, the marshal of the procession, appeared, then came in order Miss Jeannie Burrow, May Queen of 1903; Misses Jessie Haworth, and Mabel Ward, Court, ladies; Misses Dora Parton, Dorris: Ward, Minnie Nixon, S. E. Parsons, Irene Goulding, Daisy Gouldings, and Gladys James, At- tendants Masters J. W. Brocklehurst, F. Arnold, Tom Nixon, Monte Richmond, Harry Roberts, Donglas. Smith, Courtiers E. Chase, Robin Hood; Miss Jessie Brown, Maid Marion; W. Elliot, Little John; W. Corbett, Sheriff; S. Roberts, Soldier; A. Arnold, H. Griffiths, S. Bowdage, J. Bwdage,, J. Routledge', and J. Swinnerton, Merry Men. Then came the May-pole and other dancers Philip Hornsby, marshal; W. S. Brocklehurst and H. EL Lester, heralds J. Haworth, Jester1; Crown bearer, Clem. Arnold; Standard bear, Hugbie, Richmond; and then, at last the Queen-elect, .she gave many queenly bows a,s she walked along the gangway, in response to the, plaudits of an .admiring crowd. Her pages' were so taken up with the greeting as to forget, their' duty, and, more than one was caught zn tripping on the royal robes, her majesty L I i stooped gracefully to the sudden pull up, and for a, while; more care ,i#a,si taken. The pages were Masters Raymond, Merrall, Robin Burrow, Ewart Haworth, Shed Roberts, Austin Gibson and Freddie Roberts. The maids of honour then fol- lowed, Misses Nellie Arnold, Cissie, Bur- ton, Ethel Richmond, Florrie Roberts, Gladys Brown, Jennie Roberts, Poppy Nixon, Dolly Shuttleworth, Nellie Roberts, Gwennie, Edwards. Pages, Masters Monte Burton, Max Lester, Jack Jones, Bertie Deme, Sideny H. Owen, R. H. Meredith, Harry Lester, J. T. Par- sons, and H,arold Jones. The, crowning ceremony was then most gracefully performed by Miss Jeannie Burrows, the: crown bearer Master Clem Arnold advancing to the front and hold- ing up for view on a cushion the daintiest of crowns made of lillies of the valley. The ex-Queen then advanced to her majesty's throne,, .and amidst prolonged applause crowned Miss Mollie Merrall, "Queen of the May" for the year 1904. The ex-May Queen having bowed herself out of the Royal presence, the presentation of the sceptre and orb followed. Then came a whole string of bouquets, handed to her majesty by her maids of honour and pages, and not a, few, from the more de- voted section of her admirers amongst the onlookers, youths and maidens, some making their first public appearance as royal subjects, others renewing their acquaintance with the royal .assemblage, but each and all carried out their pre- sentations' in most loyal fashion, and in a, manner befitting the occasion. No debutante ever felt more seriously her position than did these wee. maids who carried out their presentations so charmingly. Prolonged applause greeted their efforts, and what if one or two did, so far forget themselves as to turn their backs upon the Queen before being out of her1 range of vision, it pleased the audience', and her Queenship made no audible comments. Wa-si there ever a more graceful or charming queen? She smiled most lovingly upon all her sub- jects, and bowed repeatedly her thanks to those who presented her with bouquets and other offerings. And the other offerings, what were they, how many of the juveniles amongst the audience, .and those close in attendance, wondered what they were, and made persistant inquiries from their respective guardians 1 Never was) a Queen more at ease; no sooner had one presentation been nudel than she handed it to her attendants at the rear, thus leaving her hands free for the, next offering. The, present,ationsl over, and they were many, the Queen rose and made, accompanied by her retinue, for a, ra,isedi dais, whither the whoile. of the dances which followed could be witnessed. The first. May Frolic was an; entirely new dance to Llandudnoites', and most spiritedly given. The following took part:—Misses C. Hughes, Jennie Parry, Via Thomas, May Owen, Nellie; Hill, Edith Jones, Toy Roberts, Nellie: Jones., Connie Lester, Jessie Kits,on, Florrie Johnson" Lillian Hill, Dinah Clarke, Mary Edwards, Olive Thomas, Jennie Rowlands. The second item wa,s a, symbol dance, given by the, Misses N. Goodall and J. Rogers; this also, was .a new dance, and very gracefully given. There was a, finish about, it that was above the average, with- out being professional. Then came the famous May-pole- dance, introducing some new features. The dance was much longer and more varied, the plaiting of the rib- bons away from the pole was a, pleasing novelty, and the close-plaiting to, the pole, and the final retirement in this, and other dances, had been carefully studied, and the effect was much more, satisfactory from, a, spectator's point, of view. The fol- lowing is a, list of the names of those' taking part, Misses Connie Lester, Nellie Williams, Lily Roberts, Madge Welch, Florrie Dencer, Maggie Parson's, Alwyn Hughes, Mary Jones, Lily Meredith, Edith Jones, Rachel Jones, Gwennie Robert's; Enid Roberts, Gladys Hughes, Ethel Herbert., Jessie Kitson, Sara Jones, Sally Roberts, Jennie Parry, Maggie Jones. Misses' N. Goodall and J. Rogers gave a. military dance, and the demands' were so persistant that they responded with a fain dance. Both were extremely clever, and merited all the. attention they re- ceived. A national dance followed, in which more than those set down on the programme took part. It, was new, and greatly enjoyed. The Misses G. Henderson, N. Goodall, and J. Rogers; next delighted the May Queen, and her subjects; with a, skirt dance. "Universalia," which showed that a great, amount of careful training must have been engaged in, to carry it through so ssuccessfully. It was, a, distinctly clever performance. The following took part in a, Gavotte, and gained unstinted a,ppl,a,us,e:- Misses Lily Lucking, Alice Swann, Minnie Roberts, Irene Davies, Enid Roberts:, Lily Roberts, Jessie Kitson, Lily Meredith. -V Miss Nellie Goodall'si tambourine dance, which followed, was deservedly encored, but her majesty, from the expression of her face, agreed with us that, it was over- working one of her most willing subjects. The flower ballet was danced by the largest crowd of performers that, appeared before the Queen, some 24 in number. It was a new innovation and very effective, and despite the shortness! of time, in which we are given to undertand, Miss Thompson 'undertook to train them, most creditable carried, through, as indeed all the dances were. The following is a list of those taking part:- Misses Connie Lester, Via Thomas, Lilian Hall, May Owen, Sara Jones, Nellie Hill, Mary Jones, Jennie Rowlands, Lilly Roberts, Nellie Williams, Rachel Jones, Maggie, Parsons, Maggie Jones, Madge Welsh, Sally Roberts, Edith Jones, Alwyn Hughes, Mary Edwards, Gwennie Roberts Jennie Parry, Olive Thomas, Jessie Kit- son, Florrie: Dencer. An extra, item, not, set down on the Queen's official programme, and therefore most probably by Royal command was a Japanese dance, given faultlessly by the Misses N. Goodall and J. Rogers. This was, in our' opinion, one of the best items of the afteroon, given with a truly artistic finish and eastern, style that, might have 1 impressed many present that it was the genuine article. This dance over, and the applause subsided, the Queen com- menced her return march in state, and attend.ant by the whole of her staff, and dancers, she walked with queenly grace to her retiring room, where her carriage was in waiting. Salvos of applause greeted her at every step, and many stayed on to see her final departure for her royal residence. Her retinue were set at liberty directly she entered her disrobing room, and they hurried off in their landaus to a. well- earned1 repast. MISS MOLLIE MERRALL. The, May-Queen, who is now nine years old, is the daughter of Mrs Merrall, Woodstock, Llandudno, and the late Alfred Merrall, Esq., of Ebor House, Howarth, Yorkshire, and Nertherside Hall, Skipton-in-Craven. The royal robes consisted of a dress of white liberty satin, trimmed with chiffon, full court train of white satin, lined with green satin, thei whole dress being trimmed with real lillies of the vallev, the, bouquet and crown being also of lillies of the valley, the latter being de- signed by Miss Corbin. She, was attended by six queen's pages, names given above, dressed in court suits of white satin. The queen's dress was designed by Miss Broadbent, of Messrs Macbeth's, Limited, Manchester, and the bouquet was made by Mr Wm. Newman, who also had the decoration of the stage. The following is a list of those who presented her majesty with bouquets, etc Master Ewart Haworth, a basket of flowers; Master Shed Roberts, basket; Miss Doris Ward, basket; Miss Sara Marks, basket; Master Eric Slater, bas- ket; Miss Ettie Roberts, prayer book; Master Austin Gibson, box of chocolates; Master Fred Roberts, box of chocolates; Miss Ellen Edna Volta Arnold, box of handkerchiefs, and Miss Lily Meredith, a purse. The ex-queen, Miss Burrows, who car- ried out the crowning ceremony, was robed in a, court dress, full train, of white satin, with silver trimming. It is to Mrs Haworth that the chief pra,ise is due for all the arrangements of grouping, etc. She has worked inde- fatigably to secure, what was admitted on all hands, a great success, and We tender our congratulations to her on having car- ried out, to such a successful finale, the most important event of the day, the crowning of the May Que'en for 1904, and the frolic and other dances which fol- lowed. -:0:-

What the" Advertiser" says: That Llandudno should feel highly honoured by the visit of Herr Salomon. That this gentleman is the Authority of the world on the Sloyd System of Manual Training. That Herr Salomon is to lecture at the Town Hall on Monday, May 9th, at 7-30 p.m., under the auspices of the Art, Science and Technical Classes Com- mittee. That all teachers, educationists and Students will be admitted free. That a. few reserved seats can be booked at the Lounge. That the opportunity of hearing Herr S.alomon is an exceptional one. That the, aims of Sloyd are: — (a). To instil a taste for, and lave of, labour in general. (b). To instil respect for rough, honest, bodily labour. (c.) To develop independence and self- reliance. (d). To train in habits of order, exact- ness, cle.anliness, and neatness. (e). To train the eye and sense of form. To cultivate dexterity of hand and develop touch. (f). To train in habits of attention, in- terest, etc. (g). To develop the physical powers. That in Llandudno and North Wales generally these highly important aims are being lost sight of with the result that parents are trying to make their sons into genteel clerks, instead of putting them to an honest trade where they would be better paid and would have far better opportunities of ad- vancement. That we agree with Sir Hiram Maxim when he says, "I have no patience with the man who thinks it degrading to work in his shirt-sleeves," and again, "This colossal snobbery is indeed a great danger to the British Nation, for it cramps honest work on every side." That all are invited to Herr Salomon's Lecture, and it is, hoped that Llan- dudno will shew its appreciation of this distinguished gentleman's services to his fellow-men by filling the Town Hall on Monday evening next and giving him a hearty reception. That on Sunday morning next the Rev. J. Irvon Davies will preach a special ser- mon to the Boys' Brigade at Christ Church Congregational. That we were lucky in having to change the date of May-Day to Wednesday, having an ideal day. That the procession was quite the best of recent years. That the day's proceedings has involved an amount of work that will hardly be credited by those not in the know. That "La, Marguerite" will- take her trial trip from Liverpool on Thursday next. That a large number of invitations have been sent out, and an enjoyable day's outing is. assured. That Mr Herbert Brown has been a. great attraction at the Pier Pavilion this week. That B.B.W.W. visit to Llandudno was a huge success. That it. is a long time since so many Llandudnoites were astir so early. That the Indian's "How," as a salutation, has caught on locally. That Buffalo Bill, Col Cody, expressed himself delighted with Llandudno. That, the L.A.D.S. were, great in their production of "My Soldier Boy." T'ht the way they unearthed fresh talent at almost every performance is astonish- ing. That it is now stated they have discovered hiddcfi treasure. That we agree with them, if they allude to Miss Flo Howard-Baker. That Mr Geo. Chase hs been the recipient of innumerable congratulatory epistles, from members of the opposite sex, mostly, since his last stage appearance. That the "Daily Despatch" intends pub- lishing a special article on the L.A.D.S., and photos of the most prominent mem- bers. That the operations on the Rev. David Davies was performed at the Mid- dlesex Hospital on Wednesday after- noon. That the operation was successfully car- ried out bv Dr. Gould. That, however, some days must p.ass be- fore the rev. gentleman can be con- sidered out of danger. That on enquiry this morning we learn that Mr Davies is progressing satis- factorily, and That Dr. Gould is very pleased with the progress he is making. That May-Day did not pass over quite free from accidents. l. That the most serious occurred to Hugh Hughes, who was in charge of Messrs Berrill's exhibit. Tht he, in a fainting fit, fell from the cart and cut his head badly. That he was taken to the hospital .and attended to by Dr. Woodhouse and later in the oay conveyed home.

PIER CONCERTS. The visit of Mr Herbert Brown has been greatly enjoyed throughout the week. He has met with a hearty recep- tion nightlv. and given bis best in re- turn. Mr Walter Haigii has provided excellent programmes, which'have secured the plaudits of delighted audiences. The space at cur command, this week, is too limited to enter into a fuller detailed account of all tha instrumental solos that have been given s:nce our last notice, suffice to say that each artiste has achieved a success. Miss Jennie Taggart is the vocalist for to-morrow (Saturday) and next week. SAD ACCIDENT TO A LOCAL DRIVER. As Hugh Hughes, who was in charge of Messrs Berrill and Son's exhibit, in the May-Day Procession, was leaving the Promenade, he was seized with a faint- ing fit and fell off the float, sustaining a severe cut on the forehead. He was immediately conveyed to the hospital and the injury attended to by Dr. Wooahouse. Later he was taken home. and is pro- gressing satisfactorily. CRICKET. The annual match between the Cricket Club and the past and present members of the Hockey Club will take place on the cricket field, on Saturday afternoon next, at 2 30.

SUNSHINE RECORD.—Bright sun- shine recorded at Llandudno for week en-dig April 30th, 1904, was 33 hours. 18 minutes.

The carters, corn merchants and furni- ture remover's class produced a, very varied selection of entries, coal, hay and flour merchants being represented, as well as the Anglo-American Laundry being re- presented. Messrs Dunphy had entered a steam motor laden with their leading line in flour, but for fear of accidents the entry did not take part in the procession. Mrs Mary Jones, Bod.avon Farm, was placed first with an effective arrangement ■of hay, etc. Messrs D. and R. T. Jones secured first! prizes for the best comic advertisement, but, why the Hand Laundry's exhibit, was- included in this clas's is not quite clear, for they had a very charming illustration of their prowess. Of the other, comic classes, "Baking and Washing day," by Mr Tims. Barrow, provided considerable, amuse- ment, but Mr G. W. Codman's "Planta- tion Cotton Picker" was awarded premier honour. The London and North-Western Railway Company had several decorated lurries out, that of Edward Morris being considered the best. The landaus, both decorated and undecorad, were gener- ally good and neat, prizes being secured by Mr Wheeler, The Llandudno Coaching Company, and Messrs Jarvis and Wood1- yatt, etc. A prize wasi offered this year for the best marshal in the procession, and this was secured by Mr J. G. Roberts with a. good representation of Welsh woman, Mr J H. Williams (Charles I.) being second, .and Mr H. Roberts; (Duke of Buckingham) third. Of the exhibits not sent, for competi- tion, that of Mr Griffith Roberts, iron- monger (lurry laden with display of fur- nishing ironmongery) was generally ad- mired, and was one of the best exhibits in the! procession. Representatives of the Rechabites Friendly Society, the Independent Order of Good Templars, .and also the Llan- dudno Amateur Footbal Club, with the Coast, Cup, also; took part in the proces- sion, being carried in conveyances lent by the Llandudno Coaching Co. and Mr Beattie.
