Major Leadbetter, the Chi for the county, wasaho iH attendance. SATISFACTORY POLICE REPORT. Supt. Beresford presented the annual polieo re- port, in the course -of -which it was stated that there vvea 17 fully licensed houses in tho division'. At tho last census the population was 3053, which gavo an average of 533 persons to each house. There were also three wine, beer and spirit oft- lioettces and two wine and spirit off-licences- These were not included in the average, but if taken into consideration sthe average -would be 412. There was one wine licence teas this year, that of Mr E. H. Davies, Oxford Buildings, Conway-road, Coiwyn Bay, the sale cf wines hav- I ing cboon discontinued there, as the shop had been closed. From a table given by the super- intendent, it appeared that while Colwyn Bay- and Llandrillo had a population of 7154, tfeo number of licensed liou-,+-s wa 10, giving an average of one house for every 715 of the popu- latIn Old Colwyn and Eirias the population 9was 15C6 with 61X licensed aver- age of one house'for every 254 of the population. At I/ianeiian there was one, prtblic-houso for a population of 388. The popu'ation for the whole petty sessional division was .reported rj be 9068, whereas the number of licensed houses was 17, en-tag jn average for the division of one haute for every 533 ot the population. Between the let January and 31st Deoernber, 1908,63 persons had been proceeded again** for .drunkenness, 59 of whom were convicted, showing a decrease of 16 compared with the previous Two persons only were charged with being dru: on 'Sundiy, one of those convictrd for drunken :>ess anl 12 were atrangers- From the analysis given bearing upon the drunkenness in each district, it appeared that while there had been an increase of seven in tiw number convicted from Old Coiwyn and Eirias, there was a decrease of 23 in the number from the Colwyn Bay and Llandrillo irca, there being no cases from Lianelian. The following licenecs I bad been transferred during the year:—Ship Hotel, Liaqdrilio, from Conway Temple 'Francis to Peter Foulkos; Rhos Abb?y Hotel, from Frederick Christopher Meier, to Amy 'Eliza Meier; Victoria Pier Refreshment«Roor»i. Coiwyn Bay, from Win. Ailwyn Pryee Davie?, to Renault Eldrid. Extension of hours had boan granted to F. C. Meier, Rhos Abbey Hot, -oi two occa- sions, and to Mrs A. E. Meier on one occasion for the purpose of holding to Mrs J. Lowe, Imperial Hotel, on the occasion of the Commercial Travellers' Annual Dinner, and to J. A. Lang, Queen's Hotel, on three occasions for the purpose of holding dano-s. Theatrical I dancing and music licences had been granted in respect to the PiN Pavilion, the Public Hall, St. Paul's Chirch -Room, &-ud the Lecture .Hall, Cokvyn E*?, There are four nlaccc? Iioensed for billiards—ti» Hotel Melropole, the Victoria Pri- vate Hotel. Aberge!e-ro;td; Gilhorlvil'c, tho Pro- menade, and Lewis's Cafe, Aberg:>V-road, Colwyn Bay. No proceedings had been la ken. against an of the licensees during,the year. The poiiee had paid frequent visits to the licensed premises in the and he had no tD make as to their conduct. The Victoria Pier Refresh- ment Rooms were not continualiv in use. Upon enquiry, he found that the rale adopted by the manager was to open from 10 p.m. until 1 p.m., from 3until 5 p.m., and on occasions when the pavilion was open from 7 p.m. until the proper time for closing. MAGISTRATES GRATIFIED. The Chairman said that on behalf of the jus- tioes, he had to say they eons'de rod the police report to be of a very satisfactory character. They were gratified to see there wera no com- plaints against any of the Iioensed houses, a fact which spoke very highly for the way they had been conducted during the year, They were also glad to see there had been a diminution in the number of prosecutions. He felt sure they J raight consider that that was not due to less vigilance on the part of the police, but rather that it pointed to an improvement in the highest views of conduct and behaviour of the community at large, and they were ,-gra t to see a proof of the spread of the highest principles in that manner. The police had called the attention of the Bench to certain facts in relation to the Pier Refreshment Rooms, which were before ibetn. A letter had been read to the justices flat morning, and he would be glad to know I whether the writer was in court t) make in pub- tic the complaint referrod to in the letter. The writer made a charge against a licence-holder in Colwyn Bay, and it would be much better if per- sons were to attend on an occasion of that kind to substantiate their charges- He would not lay WBch stress on a ietter from a perfect stranger with regard to what might be of serious concern to the persons involved. If anybody of the name of Stockweli, of Llandudno, was in court he (the chairman) woaid -be glad if he would conte for- ward and make his complaint that moment. There was no answer,.toad The Chairman proceeded to say the letter in question referred to one of the licensed houses of that district where, the writer alleged, they had refused to supply him with refreshment in the form of -It must be understood that- the duties of inn-keepers involved tho pro- vision of refreshment for all travellers, and not merely in the form of beer, spirits, or intoxica- ting liquors. He (the speaker) hoped licensees would take note of that. becauso if the justices bad »ny further complaints they ivould have to investigate matters, and, if necessary, act upon the evidence before them. Reverting to the letter in question. Mr Osborn said it was little- better than an anonymous communication since the jus- I tioea had no means of verifying the charge made in it. (An explanation from the gentleman in question appears at the end of the report). As no objections were forthcoming all licenses were renewed. In reference to a music and theatrical licence appHed for by Mr I [arryReynokh with regard to tho Colwyn Bay Public Hall, the applicant pro- 1 mised the Bench to instruct his door keeper to abstain from shouting at the entrance to the hall, "NOT BEFORE THE COURT." ;'Mr Bernard Lowe (Messrs Nunn and Co.) drew the attention of the Bench to "the fourtn case in the list," and asked whether, in view of the fact that there would be no evidence to call, their worships would deal with it at that stage. Mr Bliss Hill said that was a V3ry disagree- able case over which he had received a letter which he would hand to the Bcnch. After handing the document to the Chairman, 'M r Hili proceeded to say that thai was a mat- ter he feit bound to. tako ul) rt the time, be- cause, whatever other failings that unfortunate jnan possessed, it v. os time to draw the line with Segard to things th;»t belonged to other people, ^heir worships would see the explanation given tn the letter, and so far as the prosecution was aonoerned they were Willing to regard the mat- ter from that point of view. Thoy would treat it as a. thing done by a person who was not in a condition to be responsible for his actions. The Chairman: You understand cur position We cannot allow this case to be withdrawn in I that way. It is a serious matter, but if you give 118 no evidence we can, of course, do nothing. Mr Hill; That is exactly the course I propose to take. The Chairman added that the justices did not feel inclined to allow the" case to be withdrawn, but if no evidence were given —— Mr Hiil: It is out of consideration for other people that I adopt, this course. The explana- tion given in this letter satisfies the prosecution The Chairman: I say nothing about that. As you bring no evidence the caso does not corno before the court. A WIFE'S UNSUCCESSFUL APPLICATION. Mary Owen, of Rhos-road, Colwyn Bay, wife of Richard Owen, applied for a maintenance order against her husband. The Clerk explained that the applicant had .applied at a previous court, but the case had been adjourned in order to give the defendant who bad be-on work-lig in South Wales, a chance to attend. In answer to a quesf-'on from tfie clerk, The defendant handed to the magistrates a letter, which he said he had found in°the house SLfid which had been sent to his wife by a man Nritli whom she had been cohabiting The wife said she had five child,wi, three of whom wore under sixteen years of age, and had to be maintained absolutely by her because -her husband refused to contribute anything towards the upkeep of the home. He w.cnt awa.r for per- iods of fifteen months at a time, and he then re- turned homo, but as aoori as he had been pro- vided with new and clean clothes by her he would leave again. Last summer he been working at Dolgarrog, but during AugusFn'e left for no reason to go to South Wales, where he had been ever since then. In the meantime she had received nothing from him. "Have you your marriage certificate?" -asked the Clerk. "Not hare," was the reply, "but I have it at home." The Clerk (to defendant): Do you admit that you married this woman? Defendant: Yes; I married her to my sorrow. Applicant applied for 10..s a week for the main- tenance of herself and three children, and alleged that her husband earned J62 per week in South Wales. In answer to the defendant, Applicant .said she had information concerning his earnings from a Mrs Thomas, with whom he bad been lodging. Defendant: I have never lodged with a woman named Mrs Thomas in South Wales. Continu- ing, Owen urged their worships to give him the custody of the two youngest children (aged 12 and 9 years respectively); the wife could do just as she wished after wards. Mr I jumlcy questioned the applicant concern- 1 ing the letter put in by tho defendant, and after denying all knowledge of it at the outset she finally stated it had been sent by a Coiwyn Bay man to whom she had lent 10s. Defendant cross-examined his wife at some length coneerning her moral habits. She denied misconducting herself with any mfen either at Llandudno, Tywyn (Deganwy), or Connah's Quay, and accused defendant of locking herself and children out of the house all night. Defendant: That is good. How many of the crockery and furniture hava you smashed on my head? Applicant: I never smashed any, but you have abused mo many times. Defendant: But did you not have one of your fancy men holding me down once while you were beating lnew-ith the poker? (laughter). .Applicant: No- In answer to the Bench, Defendant" then made a long statement, in the course or which he accused his wife of "carrying on like this" for years. They had lived in Liver- pool, at the Clifton Hotel, Llandudno, and Holy- well, and finaiiy at Colwyn Bay, the wife being all the time guilty of drunken and other bad habits. She'Had'.pawned his furniture, and had been locked Tip at Llandudno and Carnarvon for drunkenness. Replying to the Chairman, Defendant said that immediately he arrived in South Wales he had written acquainting his wife of the fact, and of his whereabouts. The Chairman described -the ease as a very sad one, but under the circumstances the Bench dis- -mrased the summons. DRUNKENNESS. WHl. Grayiey, of Park-road, Colwyn Bay, was lined 2s 6d for drunkenness, on the information of Acting-Sergeant Thomas, while Thos. Davies, of Grove Park, was mulcted in the sum of .55 for a similar o:f{cn<:iC, P.C. W. Evans being the in- formant. A COSTLY NAP. J. Williams, of 20. Back Madoc-street, Llandud- no, was fined 10s and costs for leaving a horse and vehicle unattended. P.C. Rowlands, of Lianddulas, that dur- ing the afternoon of the day in question he saw a furniture van drawn by two horses making its way round a dangerous turn in the road at Llys- faen, whiie behind it, at a distanoe of about 300 yards, came a horse and lurry unattended, the ■horse's reiiis trailing along over the road as the animal went its -way. On inquiring into the mat- ter, the defendant was found to have been asleep in the van in front. Defendant's wife stated her husband had been up all night, and had fallen asleep as he sat be- hind the furniture van leading his own horse by the reins, which appeared,to have fallen when he went to sleep- The Chairman described the offenoo as a dan- gerous one. TILE COMPLAINT AGAINST ONE OF THE I COLWYN BAY HOTELS. Mr Edmund A. fefcockwell.-writing from One Ash, Llandudno, under Monday's date, states:—"I no- tice my name is mentioned as having sent a letter cf complaint with no definite address to the Coi- wyn Bay justices respecting one of the hotels in Colwyn Bay refusing to supply me with refresh- ment in the shape of sandwiches. I beg to say that my letter was sent with my full name and address on the 22nd December, 1908, to the clerk to the Colwyn Bay justices. I have not as yet had an acknowledgment. Neither did I know that the licensing justices were sitting on Satur- day last, or otherwise I certainly should have at- tended t-o support my letter of complaint- I might also add that I have been in Colwyn Bay for the last three and a half years, and am not an utter stranger to the plaoo.

BETTWSYCOED. PENMACHNO LICENCE VOLUNTARILY SURRENDERED. ANNUAL POLICE REPORT. The annual licensing1 sessions for the Nant Conway division were held at Bettwsycoed on Saturday, before Col. Johnstone (chairman), Mr L. W. Jelf-Pettit, Rev J. Gower, and Mr Ro- bert Parry. THE POLICE REPORT. Supt. W- Roes, in his annual report, said there were 20,licensed houses and three grocers' licences in the division, a proportion (excluding grocers) of one licence to every 278 of the in- habitants. In Bettwsycoed the proportion was one to every 125; Tfcefriw, one to 173; Dolwydd- ekrn, one to 222; and Penmachno, one to 431. During the past year one licencee had been pro- ceeded againstMiSB Lay, of the Cobden's Ilotei, Capel Curigfor allowing billiard play- ing affcer closing' hours, and had been ordered to pay costs. During the past year the follow- ing licences had been t;ransferred:-Bryntyrci Hot. Capel Curig, Bella Vue tiotet and Ship Inn, T'refriw, and Eagles Hotel, Penmadhno. Sixteen pers.ona had been brought before the Bench for drunkenness, an increase of four as compared with the previous year, 15 being males and one female. All were convicted. Six of them had boon arrested and were strangers to, tino division; two persons had been convicted for being, drunk and refusing to quit licensed premises," and one person for being drunk in charge of a ho«se and carriage. There was an application for a new licence from Mr Miohael jLMlgo (wfho already held two licences—the Belle Vue Hotel and the Ship Inn, Tcefriw) for small premises recently built on the Quay at Trefriw. Licensed houses on the whole had been well conducted during tihe past year. RAILWAY REFRESHMENT ROOMS. On the application of Mr Bland, of Euston, the usual exemption was granted for the rail- way refreshment room at Bcttwsycoed Station. LICENCE VOLUNTARILY SURRENDERED Mr R. S. Chamberlain (of Messrs Chamber- lain and Johnson) appeared on behalf of Mr W. Ehaa, the owner of the White Horse, Pen- machno, who wished to refer the house for com- .pensation. The village had not been in a flour- ishing condition lately, and the house had been. rather badly. Mr Pettit: Rather a novel application, is it not ? Mr Chamberlain: Not at all. If there is any serioud desire to reduce the number of licences in the district, the temperance party contend that the small houses should be done away with, and we allow you an opportunity to gratify them. Rev. J. Gower: When a person is dying of consumption there is no need to oall in a doctor to give him poison (laughter)- Mr Chamberlain If there is a little sugar in the poison no harm is done (renewed laughter). We offer you a voluntary surrender of the licence. I am informed that the rates are not paid. That is the fault of the rate collector, Tbero are goods in the hou-je; therefore, he should have recompensed himcelf out of them. Mr R. E. Thomas (rate oollector): The furni- ture belongs to the uiobe Furnishing Company; therefore I oould not distrain. Mr Chamberlain; Oh yes, rates and rent could b realised out of the goods. Why not secure a committal order? Mr R. E. Thomas: Because the goods do not belong to the lioenooe. Mr Chamberlain: Then send me a demand note for the amount. Mr R. E. Thomas: Very good. It amounts to 22 10s. The Chairman said that the consideration of the offer would be adjourned to the next meet- ing. EXTENSION. On the application of Mr A. Lloyd Griffith the licences of the Belle Vue Hotel, Trefxiw, was granted an extension of time on the occa- sion of a Whist drive. TREFRIW PAVILION. Mr A.;Lloyd Griffith applied on behalf of Mr Michael c Jtudga, for a new licence for "üc Pa viiion., 'Trefriw Quay. He said the licence would be a separate one from the Bellc Vue Hotel- He understood there was a strong op- position to tfee-application; it would, therefore,. be of a convenience to himself and his friend, w.ho appeared on behalf of the objectors, if the case were t'hraahed out at the adjourned sessions. Mr J. D. Jones: I have no objection to the adjournment, but I must raise an objection to the notice. It appeared in a local newspaper, which baars the date January- 15th. As the 28 days' notice prescribed by law is thus exceeded, I submit; that the notice is invalid. Mr Griffith: Although the paper is dated January 15th, it was actually published on January 13tih. If I had inserted the notice th-e previous week or the week after, the notice would be out of order. That date was the only one available. Mr J. D. Jones: I appear on behalf of the congregations of the C.M. and the Congrega- tional ohurches, the Parish Council, two Tem- perance Associations, and five other persons, and it is my duty to insist upon my objections. The fact that the paper was issued on January 13th makes the notice two days worse off than before, which-is four days prior to the limit of 23 days. Ttierefore, you have no jurisdiction, and are bound to declare the notice invalid. Mr Griffith But if I thad, inserted it the pre- vious week it would be too early, and again, if I inserted it the week following the one it ap- peared I would be too late- Still, I can give another notice to-day. Mr Pettit: We have no power to waive an informality. Mr Lloyd Griffith: I can withdraw the notice and issue another. Mr J. D. Jones: Even if, you do that it would etillbe invalid as only 14 days intervenes be- tween this session and the adjourned sessions, and the papers are not issued until Thursday morning. Mr Griffith: I can publish the notice in one of the daily papers. ITho application was then formally withdrawn.

FLINTSHIRE ASSIZES. A BAOILLT ASSAULT CASE. These Assizes were held at Mold on Saturday, before Mr Justice Pickford, who was accom- panied on the Bench by Mr S. linowles MLlli- -pratt (the High Sheriff). In his charge to the grand jury (of which Major R. F. Birch was the foreman) his Lord- ship said there was only one case to be disposed of. There seemed to have been a little confu- sion, he said, about the committal of the pri- soner ih consequence of a notice that it was not his intention to hold those, assizes. He went on to explain, as he had done at Ruthin, the pro- visions of the new Act. Richard Whitford, 35, labourer, pleaded guilty to committing an assault upon Catherine 1 on i*, eight years of age, at Bagillt, on the 6th inst. Mr Owen Roberts (whoapryeared for the de- fence) said the prisoner had a wife and five children- The man was in drink at the time. The prisoner wished to make an appeal to his Lordship to be as lenient as possible, as he would never have committed the offenoe if he had not been in drink. His Lordahip, addressing the prisoner, said that the was a previous conviction of a simi- lar character, but that was between 13 and 14 years ago. The prisoner had since been leading a decent and respectable life. It had been said that punishment in these oases must fall vm"j' muoh upon the wives and families of prisoners, and ho was sorry that should be so. He had a letter from the prisoner's wife, which did her. very great credit and also did credit to the pri- soner himself, because of the way she spoke of ihar husband. He believed the prisoner had been a good husband and father, but he oould not pass a less sentence than one of six weeks' imprisonment with hard labour.

THE MAN OF THE WEEK. e "A PATRIOT." q Such was the sensation caused by the production of the invasion play, "An Englishman's Home," that for the author to maintain his anonymity under the pseudonym "A Patriot" for any length of time was a practical impossibility. It soon became known that he was a soldier, that he had written some small things for the stage before, tlut he was the brother of a clever young -actor, and that he had faced the footlights as an amateur himself. This description, it was noted, fitted nobody so neatly as Major Guy Louis Busson Du Maurier, D.S.O., of --the Royal Fusiliers, brother of Mr. Gerald Du Maurier, and eldest son of the late George Du Maurier, the iamous "Punch" cartist and author of "Trilby." The secret could no longer be kept, and the authorship of the play was admitted. Major Du Maurier is doing his country's duty in Africa, and he has refused to be interviewed on the subject of his play or his opinions on national defence. An Englishman's Home continues to be the rage of Ixmdon, and to excite interest and a good deal of criticism—not all of it friendly, it may be added, for while many people.,ee in it a truthful and timely sermon upon the unreadiness of Britain to repel an invasion, others resent very much what they consider to be a slur upon our citizen soldiers by an officer in the Regular Army.

DENBIGH (BOROUGH). THREE LICENSES OBJECTED TO. j The above sessions were held on Friday, the Mayor (Mr James Hughes) presiding over a full bench. Supt. Frederick Woollam, in his annual report, stated that the 'borough contained 25 fully Ii- censed houses (including Challoner's Vaults, which would shortly be closed), 2 off-licences, and 1 grooer's licence, making a total of 28, being a decrease of four as compared with last year. There was practically one licence to every 209 of the inhabitants. During the year 1908, 60 con- victions were recorded for drunkenness, thirteen of the persons oonvioted being non-residents of the borough. Six were convictions for being drunk on Sunday, showing a decrease of ten for this offence as compared with last year. The houses had been frequently visited by, the police, and found to be fairly well conducted, and he had no complaints to make. Replying to the Mayor, the Superintendent said the number of convictions last year were 60, as against 57 the previous year, but the increase was due to some of the same persons having been convicted more than once. After a lengthy consultation in private, the Mayor, on behalf of the Bench, said they were of opinion that there was a great deal more drink- ing going on among women- than there should be. Facilities were given them to drink. in some of the public houses- The Bench did not want to single out ;tny particular houa- at present, but they had information showing that ceome of th^ hotlines at any rate were not conducted as well as they might be in that raspeel.. It was hoped that licensees would try to put a stop to this practice, and the justices hoped also that the police would take the. matter in hand. All the licences were then renewed with tlv" exoeption of those of tho Mason's Arms and Eagle's Tnn. Denbigh, and the Cross Foxes, Hen- llan. The further consideration of those would be adjourned for a fortnight; in the meantime, the necessary notices would be served.

SIR F. CUNLIFFE AT ROSSETT. Sir Foster Cunliffe, Bart., the Unionist candi- date for East Denbighshire, speaking at Ros- sett, condemned the action of the "Confede- rates" over Tariff Reform. Fiscal reform, he said, was too big a subject to bo dealt with in a hurry or by inexperienced and irresponsible men. It must be faced by a responsible Government and by experts. The sooner the question was met and a satisfactory scheme the batter it -.viould be for the coun- try. As to the present Government, their for- tunes had steadily diminished, and this even their best friends oould not deny. On one thing the Government and its ^supporters were discreetly silent, and that was the disgraceful state of affairs in Ireland-

.RACKING COUGH OF BRONCHITIS. Chronic Invalid-for 15 Years Cured by Peps. To all sufferors of bronchitis. Peps, the won- derful breathe-able medicine in tablet form, are of untold wealth- These unique and pleasant medicinal tablets'bring groat relief from those distressing fits of coughing, and that feeling of suffocation and difficulty in breathing. In the ca.'1C of Mr Frederick White, of 18, George Street, Hove, Brighton, Peps did what 15 years of doctors' and other treatment utterly failed to accomplish. To a "Brighton Standard" reporter, Mr White sai,d -"For 15 years I was a terrible sufferer from bronchitis. Evary winter it used to oome on particularly badly, and for weeks at a time I !h«d to -stay in bod, unable even to sit up. Terrible fits of ooughing uted to come over me and completely prostrate me. The ooughing affected my haart and I felb sometimes as though I should choke if I' coughed again. "I tried all sorts of so-called bronchitis cures and other remedies without any good effect. The doctor who attended ma for many years at last gave me up &3 a chronic invalid. "I then read abouIJ Pep.3 and felt they must have some special merit. 'I will try them at any rate,' I thought, and I commenced to take Pop3 just before the Winter set in. I was ter- ribly bad then, coughing' almost all day Ion." and getting thinner and weaker every day- But before I had finished one box of Peps a marked change for the better oanae over me. My oougfh was far less troublesome and the feeling of suffocation and the .burning sensation hadairnost goiie. Ere long, by the aid of Peps, I was able to gob about with a degree of comfort and an absence of pain such as I had not experienced for 15 years." ,For ookis, bronchitis, and all the throat and ohest -complaints so prevalent in Winter, Pops are-an unrivalled home remedy.

MR BRANSBY WILLIAMS .recites Sidney Car- tons iarewell ("The Tale of Two Cities") Dickens. Onoo gLgain it is pleasant to record another noticeable improvement in the tonal quality of th3 Gramophone Company's records- The re- cords just Lssnod are beautifully clear and loud, and those users of the now wooden horns are unanimous in their verdict that a perfect combi- nation has at le-ist been obtained. A good doal was said in tho passt about the scratching of the needle. Any prejudice that may have been occa- sioned against the noodle is now fast diminishing. For one thing, it is impossible to avoid this; and, in the second piace, many of the records are so loud as to completely deaden the scratching. If a softer tone is required pianoforte needles. can bo us.ed. and the thinner the needle the less scratch- ing there is. The selection from Overture 1812 is so excellent a record as to be almost a band in itself. The programme of the work deals with the stirring events of the year 1812, culminating in the ad- vanoo of Napoleon on Moscow and his retreat therefrom. After describing tho burning of Moscow 'there- is an ex- traordinary and thrilling finale, the bells peahng out their rejoicing as the French retreat. It is a deeeriptive record of indescribable magnifi- cence, and the Coklstreams have nover done any- thing better. The "Zampa" overture possesses considerable dash and rattfo, aad on this.occasion the Coldstream Guards give it a sensational ren- d^riug, whil-a tho lovely clarionet solo does not fail of its true exoreesive effect- The delightful music of Suliivan we welcome heartily. A good selection has been maoo from the tuneful opera, Ruddigore, which, though not so weJi-knawn as some of the other bavoy produetioas, is con- siderably leas haokneyod tiuui many of the better known operas.—"Haddon Hall" was one of the operas wmcn Sumviui wrote with another coila- borateur than Sir W. S. Gilbert. It abounds iii after tii-o fashion of the old country ûan. it goea witH a merry svyili,, uu to the slow mOV<3ill{;;ut, wnich contains a most tunetui cornet solo ot lovely tone, winch is abso- luteuy faitului w the original. We have not b.6ard a prettier or more successful solo on a gra- mophone record; and It is not surprising to near th-oru.i.i a graat demand for this record. The Black Diamonds introuuoe, among other items, Le DLtuoa des Apacnes, a celebrated dance, wmeh, is now the talk of and is at the. iiimpire and Aihambra '.theatres in juohdon. It is exoeptiouaiiy and brilliantly rendered. For beauty of tone the record of the Dollar PrLuceos j Waltz is one of th-o best. It is the latest conti- j nental music suooess, and will shortly be brought to London by Mr George Edwardts. The Fair- IIL ost of the Fair, by the same band, contains an en- chanting melody equal to anything Sousa has yet given us. The Lancashire Brigade, "march past, and the Pot Pourri. of pantomime songs, are two capital records, and- highly popular—s>o the dealers say. One of the finest pieces of work yet executed by the Scala Symphony Orchestra is the "Si j' etais" overture. Tho record is, a notable one on account of the beautiful repro- duction of orchestral tone-colour which it dis-' plays, and the performance is not the loss re-i markable by reason of the brilliant playing of the' strings. This is certainly a noteworthy example of the high-class music given by the gramophone- Of high-clasa concert music there is-abundant variety, and the artistes include Mons. Ronard, ■ the principal baritone of the Paris Opera, who sings "0, Star of Eve" ("Tannhauaer"), with magnificent voice and wonderful artistery. Mr Horatio Council, another baritone of renown, singit for the Gramophone Company for the first time. He renders the Armourer's Song, out of Robin Hood, in fine stylo. Unusual interest at- taches to Mr Maurice Farkon's song, entitled "Two dirty little hands." This pathetic little song, sung by Mr Farkoa, with all the exquisite artistic taste which he is so well noted for, tells of a little boy who has been «colded for having dirty little hands, and sobs himself to sleep. The mother dreams that he is taken to the gates of heaven, where the angel tells him to enter—al- though his hands are dirty his little soul is white—but she awakes to find it a dream. This reoord has had a very large sale, and is going strongly yet- Madame Jones-Hudson's records •; are always received with delight. A new one. which will be extremely popular, is Gounod's Ser- enade, the singer's bird-like voice being set off by the sprightly tones of the flute. This is a brilliant- ly successful reoord. A charming little song sung with remarkable expression by the same artiste is entitled "Rose in the Bud." Mr Harry Carl- ton milkes an excellent record of the well-known pantomime song, "A tiny seed of love." Wag- ner's Sword Song ("Sugfried") is finely sung- in English in the splendid voice of Hoerr Cornelius. Two unusually attractive duet reoords are pub- lished in theFebruary list- Novin and Gounod have both composed fine settings to Charles KingsleyV, beautiful words, "Oh! that wo two were Maying," but the most popular version is that of Smith's, and it is sung most charmingly by Madame Jones-Hudson and Mr Pike. The duet from "Th", Pearl Fishers" as sung in Danish by Herren W. Herold and N. Nissan- This is cer- tainly quite on a level with some of the celebrity records, and those who have heard Herold's fine voice will be prepared for the manner in which he leads off, a rendering very little short of the same number as recorded by Caruso. N., N has also a wonderful bass voice of great depth and power. Mr Herbert Payne and Mr Henry Tucker sing four of the most popular pantomime songs, whose dainty lilt and swino- catch the. ear at once. The miscellaneous items are all good, but spec-'a' mention should be made of a record just made by Miss Christabe-I Pankhurst upon the virtues of Woman's Suffrage. The ladyts cutionary powers of a high order, and her enunciation is clear and distinct. It is a most interesting record in view of the prominent part taken by Miss Pankhurst in the Women's Suffrage Movement. The Westminster Chimes consti- tute a distinct gramophone novelty. The chimes represent the quarters, half-hours, etc., and then the hours are struck in fine sonorous tones so sug- gestive of Big Ben. 0 LOCAL DEALERS. RHYL.—Cheetham's Depot, Queen-street, Rhyl.

MR. LLOYD GEORGE ON WALES. AN AMUSING SPEECH. Mr Lloyd George, M.P., was the guest of the evening at a house dinner of the London" elsh Club .a.-id-, in responding to the toast of (his health, referred to a song that had pre- ceded his re-spoiiso, and said he was like the knight in the song—ihe was in search of an Eldorado, and he was not sure, but that before ho found it he would bo rather thin, like the knigiht (laiug'hter). He knew it was dangerous for. a Chancellor of the Exchequer to stumble on a joke (laughter). If he did, all the people in the country said he was lacking in dignity, and if he did not, he was in danger of boring his audienoe. Referring to the presence of representatives of all parties at that gathering, Jhe said no one oould tall how long parties had lasted or how long they would last, but they knew that the Welsh race had lasted—and would l.a.st-Ionger than all parties (hear, hear). The proper plaoo to judge the House of Commons was not in the chamber where the debates took place, and where -the gentlemen of the prase were present, but in the smoke room (hear, hear). That was the plaoo where the members .were seen at their bast; -where 110 one could tell by outside ap- pearances what parties the members belonged to; and where they discussed all the topics, and without bitternes6 (hear, hoar)- Ho had apretty big job in front of him, but he knew that be- hind, him was the gkdodwill and support of his fellow-countrymen (hear, hear). Wales was in danger of being overwhelmed by its greater and more powerful neighbours (hear, hear). -But they should trust a little more in their own right arm, and they would in the long run give a, goOOaQCOunt of themselves. In politics Waiss was at the beginning of great things, and with more united action, and more sustained effort, Wales would occupy in tho groat Commonwealth a position that would be eeoond to none.
