MAY DAY AT RHYL. CROWNING OF THE MAY QUEEN. GORGEOUS CEREMONIAL AT THE QUEEN'S PALACE. (By a "Pioneer" Representative). To-day was the annual May Festival at Rhyl the fifteenth of its kind held in this town. Owing to varied circumstances there has never been witnessed such a like gathering or one Which has aroused eo much interest, and on no previous occasion have thoee who were oon- noctod with t worked harder or with better purpose. For some months the arrangements have been under carefui considerttion. This year ma.ny changes have bocn effectod in the personnel of the committees, and new blood in troduced. By th b means, and while tho oomniittce contained many of the older ajid more experienced workers, new members were brought into the work, and the signal Kucoostf achieved to-day is ample vindication of tho reforms introduced. In fact, everybody, in whatever position he or she held, worked whole-heartedly for the success of the demoai- strit ion. East year's festivities resulted in a small de ficic.buo those who t^ok up the rel*ns of office tvcre determined that that shou!d be wiped out, and JI. balance carried forward. At the time of ■writing, it certainly looks a3 if their expecta- tions will be leaiised. In addition to subscrip- tions roceivod from generous patrons of the movement, the prize-list was swe!!ed by gifts from tradesmen and others, and these wero a-IIott-xl to the various classes. Certain difficulties have had to be centearidod wirh. For instance, some of the ladies resigned at a late hour, but though ladies may come and though ladies rr.ay go, the work of organisation laily cft. Another difficulty I i ),(-rt oroppod up was in connect ion with the band.The committee asked for tenders, and l:>ecauso they declined to pay the Rhyl Town B.,ijid more than last year, and accepted the lowest tender, there was considerable hubbub, but after events showed that the action of the Commit toe met with the approval of the townspeople. u' The general arrangements were directed by a. committee, of which Mr Philip Thomas. High -street, was eh-airma.n. Mr Thomas has been connected with these festivities for sev- eral vears, and on this occasion he made an excellent, and tactful president. He was ably supported by Mr Richard Sykes as vice-chair- man, and as a new member of the committee, Mr Sykes infused considerable energy into the movement, and in no srrwill measure* helped towards its success. The duties of hon. treasurer devolved on Mr Frank J. H. Beech, who, although an o worker, has not before held otica, but he proved a most capable offi- cial. giving much time and attention to the details. His ehief duties were discharged to-day, and without doubt the position of treasurer on thn day of the demonstration ro- ouires above average ability. The secretarial duties were again entrusted to Mr J. D. Polkiri_'horne \\ho connection with the festi- vitl% dates from 1894. The arduous work of training the children was once mere placed in the capable handy c-f M rs Davies and Mias Chilweil. who with un- I wards of 100 lit'e ones to instruct had no ligltt task, but it was m, which they diec.harsred with entire satisfaction to all concerned. The music was supplied bv Mr C. DeO"ineey's Or- chestra. a band of mr.sioians who did much to ensure the success of the proceedings. Mr F. RLron. M in previous voivr5:. 'made a capital Queen's Marshall, and 3-191) filled the position of chairman of the May Qneon's Committor'. The stacre management was. of course, in the hands of Mr P, T. Ashfield. and therefore it ;6 elm 's" needless tos! ate that the work was cured out efficient^ and satisfactorily. He crsranised end carried through the dramatic entertain- T" t, ic tnent. r>.nd if", suecess i" doubtless sufficient rf)- wird for the splendid' services he rendere< The Prize Committer had likewise plentv to do. and rt was no liVht that devolved upon its ohiirman fAIr Chas.

After this came the general body of children, who marched on to the platform and made oboisarroe to the ex-Mav Queen.

SEA EROSION AT COLWYN Sp. Y. SAFETY OF THE LINE. At noon, on Tuesday, when the high tide occurred there was a brisk nor'-wester blowing at Colwyn Bay, and the sea washed over the promenade for the greater part of itii length, again soverely- trying the sea-wall, upon which the edge of the promenade rests. A largo ex- penditure in groyne's has recently been incurred by the Council, and they have been to some extent. successful in accumulating protective shingle a,gaihst the foundations of the sea-wall. ,g Erosion of the beach between Old Colwyn Station and the Penmaenrhos Headland is taking place, and the railway company are be- coming concerned for. the safety of the line at this point. The sea during yesterday's high tide waslied over tho sea-wall supporting the high embankment on which the railway ascends to the tunnel, and as this has not been so sub- stantially built as most of the company's eea-walle as the sea was not then deemed likely to do more than wash occasionally against it-there is some risk of the wall giving way. It appears that the. company haye ground for uneasiness also respecting the portion of the line between .the opposite end of the tunnel and LI ye- faen Station. This is laid on a high bank of earthen material, which » uperposed noon the limestono cliff, and owing to the constant and increasingly heavy, railway traffic, togther with the operations carried. on at the, limestone quarries and the attacks of the sea at tho foot of the lofty cliff, there is the possibility of a landslip which would involve the railway line. For months past the Railway Company have been boring into the soft material on the sea- ward side of the line, and reccritly thev cut gullies and channels with a view to the better .drainage of the water from the bank, as the Water is. of course, a factor in producing land- slips. The station-master's house at Llysfaen shows signs of being damaged by nce, s.nd has recently been supported with timber sho rings.

THE PROPOSED NEW SCHOOLS AT BETTWYCOED. RATEPAYERS' MEETING. At fhr> rt\(jue-c1I- of f/vne "n 1"( in tho village, Messrs R. Parry; Bodiddon, and bav.o. the v>v;>.syji.rs, cu.;vt,.™ .t, public meet- ing ofi ratepayers at the Girls' Sohooi, Beltwi-.y- ociad, on Tuesday flight, to consider the ques- tion of the erection of the new schools in Bottwaycoed by the County Education Autho- rity. There w-ius a good attendance. Mr f,.cb,. Pa.rry (the now chairman of the Urban Dis- trict Council) was edectod to preside, and he, !:I conjunction with his follow overseer, explained that tho object of the mooting was to consider the desirability of petitioning the Couaty Authority to postpone tlvo question of the orce tion of the now fxhools for some two or three years. There waa no doubt but that tho rates would go up considerably, but he believod tha.t tih(\ higher authority had made up their minds already. A number of ctueetions wero askod by those present,and Mr l'ullan exp'tfiioed that the ob- jection w:'s -a the areooimodation at the boys' c,i bo not being up to the standard. The ili. tention wfift to eroct a boys' school and infants' school, and allow th-a git la' school to remain as it is with tho excopt cn that, tho present ac- commodation for infants wou'd be added. Dr. Fox: On what grounds is tho school con- demned? Mr Pullpn: Insuflfioiorjt acceimmodatirin. Dr. Fox: Ewt there not room an that land to e, rt: -i rq,, tho school ? Mr Pullen 'nid the rather com- idieatod. The «chml Lolcvwc4i to tho Gwydr Estate, from whom it was rented annually.

Mr Pul I en: No. but the requiremonifl of the Ed unit/ion Committee are increasing so rapidly h1,t something must be done. Mr R. Parry. Pendvffryn, said that the f»chool had >e.~n condemned bv the Education Depart- ment ol th ■> kvto Government, and the infants' had now 1>)c-n by the same department of the present. Government. A new ,cheo! wn to br' provided for b-oys, and rtfu", Coun V.' I mnst boo that that is carried out. Dr. Pritchard remarked that there were malnv ehld'ren a.t^n-ding under five year* of age.

As an amendment Mr John Hughes pro[>osed that they appeal to the Education Anthorjty to stay tl o erection of the buildings for two or three ve.i.rs. \fr David Wilh1.ms aeconded. Mrs M<(OulJoch a.nd Pullen supported the amendment. After a few other remarks a vote was taken, when it %N- found that 33 voted in favour of the amendment a.nd 13 for tho proposition. It was then decided to petition t.he County Aut,hor:ty to stay the erection for two or three vea.rs.

MR HERBERT ROBERTS, MP., SUPPORTS LOCAL OPTION FOR SCOTLAND. In the House of Commons the, second read- ing of tho Scottish Local Option. Bill was sup- ported bv Mr J II. Roberta, M.P. Me said Wales had for many years taken an interest in this question, a.nd on two occasions a VVclsh looal ojAron bill was read a. second time (hear, hear). He believed that in same farm the principle of the I»: 11 wou^d soon beeorno the law of the land. References had been made to the prohibition areas in large centres of population in England, and he had been r ferred tlo a's one who was more responsib'e tJ1-a,¡: anyone, else in the House or oountrv ;n resrard bo the application of I)ri.Twiile of prohibition in large building areas. Neither he nor his firm had over received a single resolu- tion or note <f protest, from any<ii living within thin area..Nothing-but £ ood had coime from the application of the principle in this particular area, and after 8.11 practical ex- perienoe was very valuable in the solution of a question of this kind. He wa* sure thai, if the pri-xnoiple was applied throughout the country generally, i.n i-n the life of tho nation would be the result (hoar, hear).
