FARM NOTES. ,
FARM NOTES. We shall commence our clover harvest this week. The crop is not an average, but the copious rains of Sunday last. will have vastly improved it. In spite of the thunderstorm, the surface of the soil had barely been moistened though the foliage and vegetation had received a bath. But Sunday's storm was soft and soak- ing, and on Monday everything looked fresh and green. The country, indeed, is now look- ing delightful, but it is difficult, if not impos- sfble to make a season nearly a month late a prosperous one for tenant farmers. The water-courses and springs Were nearly dried up, and the hillsides, particularly, were bare cad burnt up. Wheat is going up with a run, and in some of the great towns the price of the quartern loaf has been advanced by a halfpenny. We now have beef and mutton up a penny per pound above the corresponding price last year, and bread a halfpenny per four-pound* loaf. It is difficult to explain the rise m wiieat. except that our markets are entirely regulate by American supplies. Beef, as I have before mentioned, has appreciated entirely owing to our supplies from Argentina being cut off, with no immediate prospect of renewal, due to the outbreak of foot and mouth disease. We appear to be in for a cycle of high prices for commodites all round- The war has dis- located trade, and the disturbance will probably be aggravated as the winter approaches. The nation is fairly busy and. wonderfully prosper- ous, but the back-wash or reaction is as certain to follow as the night follows the day. Mill teaches us that the fat years are succeeded by lean years. Dear coals mean a restricted output of manufactured commodities and a de crease in the spending capacities of the masses <4. the people. The slump is certain but when? Who shall say? When I was a boy, farmers were accustomed to say "Ah, a war will sett, us all right." That was in the days before American competi- tion was an accomplished fact, and when butter was 2s and 2s 6d per pound, and everything else dear in proportion. Then a war meant penury for the poor—meant absolute starva- tion. Now a war means increased taxation, and a temporary stiffening of prices, but on the whole the farmer does not suck much advan- tage out of it. With the produce of the world brought swiftly to our doors, how should it be otherwise? But even in North Wales something more might be done for the protection of the producer and the consumer. I refer to the lax fashion io which the Adulteration Acts are adminstered. Prosecutions are infrequent, and you will not tell me it is less here than in other districts. Fraud is now son common that the prices of margarine, and butter do not bear the relationship they should do. Tons of it are sold as butter in this country, with the result that the price of the genuine article is much depreciated. The higher profit is a great tempation, but it should be made more risky than it is to promote the trade. You may be interested to read the considered judgment of "The Field" on the quality gener- ally of the Black Cattle at the Royal Society's Show :—"The hardy horned blacks from North Wales have (says the writer) improved wonder- fully in recent years, and the representation stalled this week was extremely satisfactory. In the senior bull class, Mr R. M. Greaves came to the front with Madoc Boy, a sire of enormous scale for his age and well shaped, while Col. H. Platt's second winner, Plas Caradog, is a well- grown two-year-old of remarkable substance, and Lord Harlech's Dreyfus stood reserve. Col. Platt met with better fortune in the yearling bull class, which he headed creditably with Madryn Berw, a shapely home-bred, son of EDyfwr oif exceptional promise. Mr Greaves followed closely with the level Kopje, Lord Harlech again getting reserve with Ensign. In the cow class also Col. Piatt obtained the red rosette, the beautiful, level cow Queen of Spades II., winning handsomely even from such formid- able rivals as Mr Greaves's Tremadoc, and Mr W. E. Oakeley's Twilla, which followed in the order named. The tables were turned in the two-year-old heifer class, however, Mr Greaves taking the ■lead with the shapely Brynywern, and Mr Oakeley following second with Pyrites II., Col. Platt's Madryn Queen having to accept the reserve card. Further diversity was given to the results by the victory of Mr Oakeley in the yearling heifer class, his pretty Llywyn, by the noted Hwfa, coming clearly to the front, with Col. Piatt's Traffoi III. second, and Mr Greaves's Drift reserve. For the week ended June 16, there were seventeen outbreaks of sheep scab in Flintshire and three in Denbighshire. The North Wales district appears, however, to be quite free from fjreshi outbreaks iof swine fever, though the regulations in certain districts are still in force.
A DAUGHTER'S DEVOTION.
A DAUGHTER'S DEVOTION. At Shillingstone, in North Dorset, great concern has been felt for the welfare of a young woman of twenty-one, by name Edith Paine, the daughter of the village saddler. For some time the attention needed by an invalid mother fell on her shoulders, but in March last year the mother's illness terminated fatally, and, sus- tained no longer by anxiety, the daughter's health suddenly broke down. An article in a Dorset newspaper, the "Southern Guardian," gives the girl's modest statement in the follow- ing words:— After my mother's death," said Miss Paine, I quite collapsed. I could not recover from the nervous strain, and a visit to Bournemouth made me even worse. In September last, I actually fainted in the street and had to be assisted home. I suffered constantly with violent pains in my head, and was frequently sick. I had no strength to do anything, and was distressingly short of breath. A doctor told me my liver was in a bad state, but his medicine did not seem to cure me. I was always sleepy and drowsy and without a particle of colour in my cheeks." Mr Paine here remarked that his daughter's health caused him great anxiety at a time when trouble was already heavy upon him. He added, she has to thank me for her present good health. I read in the paper about a girl in my daughter's melancholy state having been cured by Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people, and I said that she must give the pills a trial, which she did, commencing one Sunday while I was^iway from home. When I returned on the following Tuesday there was a wonderful im- Drovement in her." Yes," interposed Miss Paine, before I had taken the nills for two days I found a wonderful difference." Father was surprised at the rapid change in me. And now I feel strong and bright again, and can do my work as well as ever. I took only three boxes of the pills." Worry wears worse than work; it leads to nervous exhaustion with the symptoms of de- pression of spirits, irritability of temper, hys- teria, and a disordered stomach and liver; in- digestion, insomnia, and nerve troubles, such as neuualgia or sciatica, invariably follow. Dr Williams' pink piUg for paje people relieve all these distressing symptoms by restoring tone to the nervss and spine and enriching the blood supply. They have also cured anaemia, "de- cline and consumption, rheumatism, eczema, rickets, erysipelas, and even paralysis and loco- motor ataxy. These pills are genuine only when bearing the full name, Dr Williams' pink pills for pale people (seven words) printed in red on a pink wrapper; they are sold by chemists, and Dr Williams' Medicine Company, Horcorn- viaduct, London, at two shillings and ninepence a box, or six boxes for thirteen and nine.

He is 35 years of age, and was formerly employed as a per- manent-wav man on the railway For the last siv years, "he has been engaged m trading in butter, elglgs, and pigs, the latter being on com- mission. °° His losses he attributes to having bought butter and eggs at higher prices than he could afterwards obtain for them.

¡.COLWYN BAY.
¡. COLWYN BAY. THE LANGUAGE DISPUTE.—A meeting of the urban council was held on Friday, Mr George Bevan in the chair. The Chairman referred to the action taken by a member, Mr John Ro- berts, at the last monthly meeting, with re- spect to the appointment of an outdoor foreman, As a protest against the decision of the council, Mr Roberts then handed in his written resigna- tion, together with £ 5. the amount of the statutory fine. The Clerk now read the letter, in the course of which Mr Roberts said that in iiis opinion it would be a gross insult, both to the council's workmen and to the Welsh rate- pavers. to appoint a foreman who did not under- stand both Welsh and English. Nothing was further from his mind than to propose the ap- pointment of a monoglot Welshman, but he con- sidered it to be a slap in the face to the council's workmen to put over them a man who could not make himself intelligible to them.—The Chair- man proposed that Mr Robert's seat be declared I vacant, and said he was very sorry to have to do so, but Mr Roberts had left them no alternative. His colleagues would have liked very much to ask him to reconsider his course, but he had made it impossible to do so. Mr Byrne se- conded. Mr Hugh Hughes asked whether it was possible to induce Mr Roberts to withdraw his resignation, and thus avoid a bve-election.- The Clerk replied that they were bound to pro- ceed to nomination, and, in the event of more than one candidate, to a poll.—The resolution was carried.—On Tuesday, the Returning Officer (Mr J. H. Roberts) received the following nominations :—John Roberts, builder and con- tractor, the member who resigned; Edwin Jones, coach proprietor; and Francis Nunn, solicitor, a. former member, who was defeated in the April election. Saturday has been fixed as the last date for withdrawals, and if, as will pro- bably be the case, there then remain more than one candidate, a poll will take place on July 7th. The election and the causes which pro- duced it are exciting much discussion in the town, and the appointment of Welsh-speaking officials will be the main issue in the contest. 0
DOLGELLEY.
DOLGELLEY. ACTION AGAINST A BREWER.—The case of Isler and Co. v. Carpenter was heard on Monday in the Queen's Bench Division of the High Court before Mr Justice Darling and a jury. Mr E. Morton appeared for the plaintiff and Mr -c ox for the defendant.—Mr Morton said said the plaintiffs were a firm of artesian well sinkers at Southwark and the defendant was the owner of the Cambrian Brewery at Dolgellev. The plaintiff sought to recover £ 107 for work done for the defendant in boring a well at the brewery, and the defendant denied the liability and counter-claimed for delay. The facts of the case appeared in the correspondence, so by con- sent the jury was discharged. After the read- ing of the correspondence and the examination of several witnesses, the Judge said the verdict and judgment would be for the plaintiff for .£100. He thought the counter-claim was an afterthought of the defendant when he was asked to pay the bills.

She was for many years a zealous and faithful member of the Hyfrvdle Chapel, and generous helper of every good cause, besides to the poor of her immediate neighbourhood, she was always a good friend, and her loss will be greatly felt by them, and by a very large circle I of friends, to whom her genial presence was alwavs welcome. The funeral took place at Maeshyfryd on Saturday, and was attended by a large number of relatives and friends from a distance. The Rev John Williams (Hyfrydle), Rev Morgan Jones, M.A., Rev J. Evans, and Rev R. Thomas (Llanerchymedjd), officiated. The funeral arrangement were made by Mr D. Williams, Tanvrefail. SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST A YOUTH. Williams, Tanvrefail. SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST A YOUTH. —On Monday, before R. J. Edwards, Esq., Richard Parry, junior. 2, Tanyard-row, was charged bv P.S. Hugh Jones, with house-break- ing at 41 and 43, Thomas-street, during Sunday afternoon. It appears that a young girl, re- siding on the opposite side of the street, ob- served Parry with a key in his hand. He pro- I ceeded to unlock the business premises of a I branch shop belonging to Councillor Owen Hughes, Careg Domas." The girl thought it very strange and immediately proceeded to in- fifjrm Mr Hughes. Constable Owen Hughes was on duty in the neighbourhood at the time, -n and on being informed, proceeded to the front door of No. 41, but found it fast. He then went round to the back, and after the lapse of some time, discovered the prisoner in hiding. He had on him two keys and two silver thimbles, the latter articles being valued at 2s. Mr Hughes, the owner, was unable to enter with th:/ordinary key of the premises, and it was onlv when the bar was removed from the front door by the constable that he was able to ob- tain admission. On the way to the police station, the prisoner stated that he had com- mitted a robbery in the next shop, and intimated where some money was lodged by him. The constable returned to the spot indicated, and discovered the money, amounting to L2 Is 9d. He also found ten flower pot suspenders thrown awav. the property of Councillor Owen Hughes. On going to No. 43, the shop of Mrs Davies, whom the prisoner had watched out, it was found that a square of glass in the door had been smashed, the bolt withdrawn. An entry having been effected, the accused smashed open the cashbox and, took away over -02. He also ransocked1 the till, getting only Is there.—■ The accused was remanded to the petty sessions, when he was sent for two years to a, reforma-

The work was commenced on Monday. A CIRCUS.—Lord John Sanger and Sons's circus visited this town on Wednesday. The two performances were well-attended. The chief features of the show was the football match between Charlie Roberts and the elephant, each keeping goal in turn; and the military drama entitled "Boer or Briton.

He is a. patient of the Cottage Hospital. A VISIT FROM BURTON.—The workmen employed at Messrs Ind, Coope and Co., Ltd., breweries at Burton-on-Trent, visited this town on Friday and Saturday, and were accompanied by a band.

GREAT ORME SEWERAGE SCHEME.— The amount of the first accepted tender for the construction of the Great Orme Sewerage Scheme was L1280. When made acquainted with the result, the contractor withdrew his tender, at the same time stating that he had made a mistake of JBIOOO. The tender of Mr George Taylor, of Brighouse, who has under- token to do the work, amounts to £ 1689. PREACHING MEETINGS. The annual preaching meetings in connection with the Welsh Congregational cause at Penrhynside, were held on Monday evening and throughout Tuesday, the officiating ministers being the Rev D. Rees, Capel Mawr, and Mr Penri Evans. There were large audiences, and powerful sermons. Mr Evans, as our readers are aware, is the minister- elect of the Welsh Congregational Church of this town. INVALIDED HOME.—As was reported in these columns, last week, Prviate Malcolm Hersee, has been invalided home. He arrived in his native town on Saturday morning in a very prostrate condition. Private Hersee has been suffering from enteric fever, but his numerous friends hope and trust that his native air will pull him through. Besides, he has the fullest sympathy of the town with him in his 1 unexpected troubles. AN ACCIDENT.—What might have been a serious accident occurred in Victoria-street, Craigydon, on Saturdav. It appears that the little child of P.C. Richards, was crossing the street, when she was accidentally knocked down by a passing float belonging to a local green- grocer. The child, who is only 18 months old, had some of her hair torned off, which occasioned wound to the bone. She was accompanied by her mother at the time. ATHLETIC SPORTS.—At a meeting held at the Parade Hotel on Tuesday night, it was de- cided to hold athletic sports in August in con- nection with the Swifts Football Club, when over F,100 in prizes will be given. Mr J. L. Mayger was appointed chairman of the com- mittee, and Messrs Churchill and Edge, hon. I secretaries. When the schedule is complete, further particulars will appear, in due course, in our advertising columns. BECOMING A RESIDENT.—Mr W. S. Williams, of the Pioneer, Mostyn-street, who now resides at Llanrwst, intends becoming a resident, and has already secured a house in Caroline-street. Mr Williams should make an useful member of the community, and his business ability and sagacity should lend an additional power and strength to the various in- stitutions in the town. At present he is the president of The Llanrwst Tradesmen's As- sociation. THE MASON'S STRIKE.—The stonemasons, who have been out on strike for about a month,, resumed work on Monday, the masters having conceded an advance of halfpenny per hour. The employers did not object so much to the ¡ actual advance asked for, but contended that the rules of the union needed amendment as regards persons who were both employers and also operatives. Therefore, the rules were altered with a view of meeting the objections of the employers. THE CHAIRMAN OF THE ANGLESEY COUNTY COUNCIL.—The Rev David Rees, Capel Mawr, chairman of the Anglesey County Council, delivered'powerful and eloquent sermons I at Deganwy-street Congregational Chapel on Sunday. Mr Rees is one of those preachers who believe that their profession demands of them, not only to lead in religous life, but also in everv movement having for its object the up- lifting of mankind. Hig discourses on Sunday were appreciated by large congregations. PRESENTING'CUPS.—A meeting of the sailing club was held at the Cocoa House, on Thursday evening., Mr J. J. Marks (the com- modore) presided. The Bradley Cup was pre- sented to the winners for 1899, Messrs W. Goulding and A. R. Temple, the owners of the "Gwen," Mr Goulding representing. The Marks' Challenge Cup was presented to Mr W. Griffith, I owner of the "Cariad," and Mr Jack Davies, owner of the "Morwyn," to be held jointly each for siA months. A very fine medal was given to t5e late holder of the Bradley Cup, Mr J. T. Griffith, owner of the "Gwalch." MR F, G. SARSON.—The numerous friends of Mr F. G. Sarson-who, some twelve months ago, was compelled to take a long rest, and relinquish his business—will be glad that he is progressing slowly—'let us hope surely—towards I recovery. He is residing with his family, at Mostyn:-avenue. We sincerely trust that he will be strong enough to offer himself for re-elec- tion to the council at the next municipal con- test. The town can very well do with his ser- vice at this period in its history. iA TRIPPER'S i EXPERIENCE ON THE GREAT ORME.—The latest experience on the Orme was that obtained on Saturday, by a tripper hailing from Ashton-under-Lyne. After i roaming about for a time, he found himself in difficulties on the cliff near to the Rock Studio. Realising his difficulties he cried for help. For- tunately, his cries were heard by people in the road below. Upon receiving information of the man's plight, Inspector Griffith sent a man with ropes to the spot. But before they arrived upon the scene, thanks to the advice of a gentle- man on the road above, the tripper had found a wav out of the difficulty. IMPORTANT PROPERTY SALE.—Messrs E. O. Parry and Crockatt offered that valuable fully-licensed property, known as the Queen's Hotel, Blaenau Festiniog, for sale on Monday. After an eloquent address by Mr Parry, de- scribing we merits of the property, and the prosperity which lies before it in the future, tbe hotel was put to the bidding, which started- at £ 6000. Mr Johnson went up to L7750 on be- half of their clients (Messrs Ind, Coope and Co.), but the property was finally knocked to a Mr Owen, of Liverpool, who, it was understood, acted on behalf of a client, for £ 7775. Messrs Chamberlain and Johnson were the solicitors for the vendors. GWYNEDD LADIES' ART GALLERY.— The new home of the Ladies' Gwynedd Art Gallery which Lady Augusta. Mostyn is erecting in Vaughan-street, is being rapidly constructed. It will be an additional source of attraction to the town, and, let us hope, be the means of cultivating taste for art in the town. If the proposal to. construct a new general post-office on the comer of Conway-road will become an accomplished fact, Lower Mostyn-street will, at no ^distant date, not only be in the centre, ( but the most important part of the town. CHRIST CHURCH.—At Christ Church, on Sunday evening, Mr Foster, the well-known baritone attached to Mr Underwood's orchestra, rendered "Nazareth" (Gounod), in capital voice. The Rev J. Irvon Davies was the preacher. A SUNDAY SCHOOL TRIP.—On Monday, the scholars attending the Church Sunday School at Trefriw, visited this town, the occasion being their annual outing. They were accompanied by the rector, the Rev John GoweT, whose name is a power in the Vale of Conway. He looked hale and hearty, and did all he could to maike the day a pleasant and an enjoyable one. A hint to Llandudno Sunday Schools! They did not bring their food with them, but arranged with a local boarding establishment for both dinner and tea. THE GRAND THEATRE COMPANY.—Mr J. L. Mayger presided over the first ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Grand Theatre Company, which was held at the Marine Hotel, on Monday afternoon. Mr Alfred G. Pugh, the secretary, submitted the annual re- port and accounts, a resume of which appeared in these columns last week, which was adopted. Therefore, the recommendation to grant a lease of the new theatre to Mr Milton Bode, pro- prietor of Reading County Theatre, Chester Royal Theatre, and theatres in London, Wolver- hampton and Carlisle, was confirmed. Messrs James L. Mayger, 'Richard Conway, Arthur Deacon, Samuel Chantrey, and George H. Hard- ing, were re-elected directors, and Messrs Blake- more, Chantrev and Co., directors. SHAMEFUL.—"A Visitor," staying at one of the boarding-houses in St. George's Crescent, writes :—"Will you call the attention of your readers to the shameful condition of the car- riage road between this crescent (St. George's), and the promenade on Sunday morning. Two or three heaps of horse manure—which had evidently been brushed tue previous night— could be seen along our front, while the general condition of the road was a disgrace to a town of such high pretensions as what you are very apt to call 'The Queen of the Watering Places.' Other sea-side resorts give visitors clean streets and do all they can to avoid dust, but your dis- trict council appear to ravel in dirty streets and dust, and at the same time, they have the complacence to inform the public that they do all they can to keep the town in the front rank as regards sanitation." The sanitary committee will please crack the nut! WOULD LIKE TO GO TO A HOME.—At a special court, before Dr Dalton and Elias Jones, Esq., a young girl named Clara. Rudge, who stated that she was only 17 years of age, and had been until recently, in the employ of Mrs Jones, Mostyn-crescent, pleaded guilty to ob- taining a white costume and cap from the estab- lishment of Miss Williams, draper, Gloddaeth- street, under false pretences. The accused, however, added that she had intended paying for those things, but could not get any money. She acknowledged that she had told a lie to get the goods. She was 17 years of age. She was quite alone, without mother or family. She was subject to hysterical fits. She was not in strong health, and had been ordered away by Dr Nicol.—In reply to the chairman, accused said she would like to go to a home.-The girl was dealt with under the First Offenders' Act, and was ordered to come up when called upon. She must go to a home as soon as one ob- tained for her. THE PROPOSED NEW NATIONAL SCHOOL ON THE GREAT ORME.—As re- ported in these columns some weeks ago, the Education Department sanctioned the request of the National School managers to open an infant school on the Orme, provided the St. Beuno Mission Room were structurally adapted for the purpose. With a view of meeting the requirements of the Department, Messrs Ed- ward Thorp and S#ns have been entrusted to carrv out the necessary alterations. It is anti- cipated that the new school will be Teady for occupation aft-er the summer holidays. It will be a great boon to children, at present, to come down to the town schools on all sorts of weather. "On wet days," observed one of the managers I to our representative on Monday, "we have had occasion to entertain the little children to luncheon at the Cocoa House, rather than seeing them ascending the Orme for their meals in such weather. It is not a new movement at all. True it has taken about four years to mature." SAILING.—At the invitation of the Deganwy SAILING.—At the invitation of the Deganwy Sailing Club, the following half-raters, "Gwen," "Gwalch," "Bobs," and "Myfanwy," proceed to that beautiful sea-side retreat to take part in a race which had been arranged, by the local club for that class of boats. The race was one of the best seen this season, while the eompeti- rioTi was very close. The course lay from Deganwy Pier out to a perch near the bar, thence back to a buoy off the quay at Deganwy, twice round. Towards the finish, the breeze died, away when the boats were coming round for the last time, and opposite the pier, it was nothing more than a drifting match to the buoy I at the quay, only a light air springing up oc- casionally, and each of the boats vieing for the best to catch the weather. The result was that the "Gwen" came in first, followed by the j "Bobs" sixteen seconds later, and followed by the "Gwlach," and the "Myfanwy." The "Belle" also took part in the race, but only completed the course once. The arrangements were oapitally completed in the charge of Messrs H E. Ford and F. Kirkwood.
¡LLANRWST.
LLANRWST. AT LLANDUDNO—Mr David Jones, solici- tor, accompanied by Mrs Jones and family, are spending a fortnight at Llandudno. CHEAP EXCURSIONS.—At a; meeting of the tradesmen's association, a letter was read from Mr Dettt consenting to renew the weekly half- day excursions to Llandudno. IN THE PULPIT.—Mr James B. Wookev, from Dr Barnardo's Homes, occupied the pulpit at St. James's Chapel, on Sunday. The musical boys played appropriate selections on the bells AT THE CHURCH HOUSE.—The musical boys from Dr Barnardo's Homes gave their unique entertainment at the 'Church-house, on I Monday evening. Mr J. E. Humphreys, J.P., presided. LEAVING.—Knowing that Mr W. S. Wil- liams, London House, is about to :take up his residence at Llandudno. The tradesmen's asso- ciation, of which he is the president, have passed a resolution, regretting his departure. We be- > lieve that it is not Mr Williams's intention to break his business connection with this town. THE FAIR, on Thursday^ was not so popular as one might have expected, but the indifferent weather that prevailed may easily account for it. The prices obtained) for cattle were much weather that prevailed may easily account for it- The prices obtained) for cattle were much below those paid for the corresponding period last year.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR NEARI BALA.
MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR NEAR I BALA. SKELETON FOUND ON THE MOUNTAIN. On Wednesday afternoon, the news became known that a man had been found dead on the mountain between Bala and Llanwydden.

He had a black coat and waistcoat, corduroy trousers, woollen shirt, strong boots, white cotton stockings, blue necktie with a red line in it, and a hard hat. From what he saw of the body it might have been there for weeks. A small tin to carry water was found by his side, and a smaller one in his pocket with tea and sugar in it. The body lay on its face.—The jury passed a verdict of "Found dead."

STEAMERS IN COLLISION AT HOLYHEAD.
STEAMERS IN COLLISION AT HOLYHEAD. On Saturday morning, the Greenore passenger steamer "Connemara," Captain Lanfesty, left Holyhead, at 1.46. She had on board a full cargo and 129 passengers. At 2 o'clock, the tide being low, she was round the Harbour of Refuge Breakwater when a collision took place. The "Eleanor," in charge of Captain Turner, was coming into the harbour when the two vessels collided. The vessels sustained very severe damage, the bow of the "Eleanor" being stove in, and the side of the "Connemara" having a great rent in it. Fortunately, the damage in both instances was above the water mark, and none of the passengers or crews were injured. Considerable excitement prevailed on board the steamers, the "Eleanor" running specially from Dublin with 760 passengers on board, made up nearly exclusively of men crossing from Ireland to work in the^ British harvests, and known generally as "harvest m £ n/' The "Eleanor" proceeded on to the L. and N.-W. Harbour, her destination. The "Connemara." also turned back and had her cargo and passengers transferred to the "Galtee Moore," which steamer sailed for Greenore some hours later. Both steamers took up positions in close proximity to the fish jetty, where they were objects of much interest. The "Conne- mara" was built at Dumbarton for the Greenore trade, three years ago. The "Eleanor" is a paddle steamer and is the one surviving boat of that class now extinct in the Railway Company's fine fleet of steamers plying to and from Greenore and Dublin in connection with this port. The actual cause of the collision has not been vet ascertained, but it is partly, if not whollv, attributed to the state of the tide.
LLANDUDNO SAILING CLUB. -
LLANDUDNO SAILING CLUB. Started in a small way six yeavs ago. this club I now comprises over 100 members, and is an established and prosperous institution. Mr W.. ( Scott Havward, commodore of the Welsh- f Lancashire Yacht Club—which, by the way has I just received the Royal warrant,—is its pre- sideat, and most of the well-known residents figure on its neat race card as vice-presidents or patrons. Mr James Marks is the commodore. ha,vino- the support of Messrs W. Owen and Harrv E. Ford as vice and rear commodore re- spectively Mr Frank Edge is captain. Messrs Conolly and A. E. Temple are treasurers, and Mr A.' Clevere Slater (of Hafod, Llandudno) is the hon. secretary. On the register of yachts I and boats are 26 craft, ten being 16ft. centre- board half-decked cutters. These seaworthy little vessels have a. history that is probably unique in the annals of yachting clubs. They have all been built by amateurs, who are mem- bers of the clubs, from drawings also made by members. In each case the keel was laid in a I sitting-room at the house of the builder, and, when ready for launching, the vessel was got out of the room through the window embrasure, the window frame being taken away temporarily to enable this to be done. The races organised by the club usually take place in Llandudno Bay, where a triangular course has been buoyed. The starting-point is from an imaginary line found between the club flagstaff, on the verge of the Promenade, near the St. George's Hotel, and the committee boat, anchored a little eastolf the boat jetties. Buoys are moored, one near the beach opposite Nantygamer-road, just beyond Craigydon, and the other seaward of that point. Course A is from the starting line round the seaward buoy, round the Craigydon buoy, and home on a course parallel with the Promenade. Course B is in the reverse direc- tion. Craft engaged in races, therefore, are, during the whole of the contests, easily visible to tlhe public on the Promenade, and, under yet. more favourable conditions, to residents and visitors in the houses facing the Promenade. The club races form an interesting entertain- ment for the summer garrison and also for the residents, especially the artisan classes, who watch the performances of their favourite boats with much concern. Two challenge cups are held on befhalf of the --Iub, the Bradley and the Marks. They are sailed for monthly during the season, one of them being open only to the 16ft. raters referred to, and already this summer there have been more than one very exciting contest. These raters have competed in all the North Wales coast regattas, where the seaworthiness of the vessels and the smartness of their handling have fatt|racted considerablei attention. Last season, the 16ft. raterg were sailed round the Orme and up the Straits to take part in the Beau- maris, Bangor, and Carnarvon Regattas. The Latter' eVent°took place on a very heavy day, but the Llandudno boats cheerfully 'took theb, part in a race which involved a trip seawardalmost ro the bar.

LLANDUDNO AND DISTRICT NOTES.
LLANDUDNO AND DISTRICT NOTES. A fortnight ago, it was announced in the col- umns of the "Herald" that the contract for the construction of the proposed' light railway be- tween Colwyn Bay and Llandudno had been let. The information was published on what your correspondent oangider,,ed excellent authority. However, the news was rather "premature," but not absolutely devoid of foundation. It is with- in my own personal knowledge that certain mea- sures have been taken, but such are their nature that it would not be wise at this juncture to mention them. Nevertheless, I put myself in communication with the gentlema.n who has piloted the scheme, and surmounted all ob- stacles successfully, with a view of having his consent to present my readers, this week, with some definite information on the subject. I refer to Mr Warwick Webb, who writes as ) follows: "In reply to your letter of yesterday, I cannot very well, at this stage, give you pre- cise details as to the steps being taken to go ahead with the light railway scheme, but you may take it that the matter is being very ener- getically pushed, and that there is a good pro- spect of something definite being done at no dis- tant date. The intolerable opposition which the promoters experienced during their three years' conflict with the local authorities and landown- ers in North Wales would have broken the back of" most sohemes, but, fortunately, in this case our people behind it were not so easily baffled bv difficulties as the former opponents anticipated would be the case. Of course, it is common knowledge that practically everyone in, Llan- w dudno and Colwyn Bay: would now welcome the scheme with open arms, and it is only their own action which has stood in the way of the com- pletion of the raolway^ulong time ago. The opposition to a scheme, as iMr Webb very pointedly puts it, "that practically everyone in Llandudno and Colwyn Bay would now welcome with open arms." cost .the promoters between £ 18 000 and) £ 20,000:" That amount is equiva- lent'to an annual charge on the scheme of some- thing like L9W. This is a fact that "would have broken the back of most schemes, but"-adds Mr Webb, and it is a most gratifying informa- tion to the people of Llandu-dno and district "fortunately, in this case our people behind it were not so'easily baffled 'by difficulties as the former opponents anticipated would be the case. In other words, the scheme is going trough. As was pointed out in these notes last week, the opposition offered wias a maddening as well as an expensive one to- the ratepayers who, by a, majority df votes,, constitutionally taken, had proclaimed in its favour But reasons best known to themselves—ignored the reasons best known to themselves--ignored the voice of the public, and, eventually, sold the right of our streets for a mess of pottage m the form of a hundred pound note. This is only one instance of the muddle and the the local authority in connection with the scheme. » « » A newly-formed recreation club is an admir- ablv conceived institution, and ought to prove a boon to the town. The chairman, Dr Wood- house. explained the objects of the club in a very lucid manner at Monday s meeting. A ground such as that acquired, pleasantly situ- ated. and veil laid out, should commend itself to visitors and residents alike. Here, many an otherwise hour of boredom, mav be whiled awav in "ringing" of quoits, or the love of tennis. The younger generation mav gam health an<Tvigour at the courts, while pa reduced his embonpoint by bowling on the green. Al- together, the promoters of the club are to be coaigtiatulated, and every one in Llandudno should support them^ Dr Woodhouse made a very happv remark when he said that they wished all classes to join them, and that the club was in no way in- tended to be- confined to a select few. In sport, all men were equal, and each must, be judged, not by his social position, but by his capability as a sportsman. » There is one thing on which I must disagree with the meeting, and that is their election of Lord Mostyn as president. Lord Mostyn, ac- cording to the chairman's own statement, threw every obstacle in the way of the club's forma- tion. When they wished to acquire the cricket field for liie purpose of starting a recreation club, he asked them to spend_ £ 1000 on the r ground, and reserved to himself the right to put a road through it at any time, a proceeding which would be ruinous to any club and would mean that the money would be actually thrown away, if his lordship saw fit, for his own benefit, to make such a road. What's in a name? Why not have elected a working president? Llan- dudno is too fond of figureheads. What re- creation clubs require. as anyone knows, are workers, not ornaments. Through the courtesy of the editor, the fol- I lowing note has been passed on to me —"To Glyndwr. Thanks for your outspoken criticism. on local finance, in your last week's notes. I quite agree with your arguments and statements. But it would have been very much better if you had gone so far as to call upon the whole coun- cil—bag and baggage—to resign, and give way to more capab1 °.n—men w'ho would study the interest of own in a more disinterested manner. You ui now agree with me that yo'JJl" oppositions--succe,&sful opposition to a, great extent-to the Ratepayers' Association was a great mistake. If we had the powerful support of the "Herald" on our side in March I and April, the Association would have worked wonder and cleared1 out a few of the old fossils out of the road. Coal has gone up; necessaries of life are dearer; the season augurs to be the most disastrous which we have had for some years; the rates have advance-6 tenpence in the pound; the gas bill wilr henceforth be higher by fourpenoe per cubic feet; and yet the salaries of our officials are advancing. Now, I would like to know from you how are.we going to live? How are we going to pay our way? My dear friend, the year will be a disastrous one, and the council, instead of lightening the burden have made it heavier.—Yours very sincerely: I thank my correspondent for his letter. Personally, it would have given me great pleasure to publish his name, which is always respected in the town, but I am prohibited be- cause of the fact that the letter is merely private communication. My opposition to the Rate- payers' Association is even greater than it has been. It will be remembered that I have always advocated an Association, which would be re- presentative in its character, established on sound basis, and with a programme that would command the respect and the co-operation of the vast majority of the ratepayers. The so-called Association which played such feeble part in the last municipal election did not come up to that idea. And its policy, as reflected by the action of ita nominees in the council, is anything but a sound one-—especially in one instance. The up- roar of the Association was against the ex- travagant expenditure of the council. Granting that the local authority have been reckless with the ratepayers' money, it appears that the Å sociation have returned Mr John Jones (Cedars) to the council to assist in the continuance of that extravagance. The same remark, to a letser degree, will apply to Mr Bellis. Their consent to levy an insufficient rate to cover the annual budget is far from being a sound financial policy. The easy payment system may be ex- pedient, but it is expediency at the expense of the ratepayers. The interest on the loan will be an additional annual charge to the rates. It would hence been better to make every sacrifice to clear the debt this year. Then, again, take into consideration the timid action of the whole council with regard to the Town Hall. So long as no revenue is derived from the premises—or in other words, so long as the building is not completed-the annual re-payment of capital and interest will be an annual charge of threepence in the pound. It remains to be seen whether the action of the council in advancing the price of gas is sound and justifiable, when they have a sinking fund to fall back upon. The abnormally high price of coal may not last long, and the least the council could have done would be to divide the fourpence between the consumers and the sinking fund. If the actions of Mr John Jones and Mr Bellis—which, by the way are the actions of the whole council, with the exception of one or two of the members-are those recom- mended by the Ratepayers' Association, I main- tain that its instigators have not yet realised the position and the trust which they want the ratepayers to repose in them. No, friend, I have not changed my mind with regard to your so-called Association. But if you are anxious to forma strong, powerful, and representative Rate- payers Association at Llandudno, with a sound financial policy, I, for one, will lend you all the assistance at my command. As to the advance of salary granted to Mr Conolly, the estimable and popular clerk of the council, the elected of the Association supported the proposal, and, in my opinion, very rightly. There are some officials who are overpaid, but Mr Conolly is one of those public officials who is not sufficiently remunerated. The following discussion, which took place in ft business establishment in Llandudno, may be found interesting and instructive. I ought to explain that the afternoon was an extremely wet one —Visitor to Waiter Is there any entertain- ment going on somewhere this afternoon?— Waiter: Not that I am aware of, sir. "I am surprised! How do visitors while away their time on such wet days as this?" "Some play billiards. Others indulge in cards and various games. And a few in reading." "And has it ever been suggested to have an entertainment in one of the places of amusements on wet days? Visitors do not come to Llandudno to spend their time on billiards, cards, nor reading. They can do that at home. What we want on a holiday is something to distract our minds as much as possible from business worries, and enable us to recruit to such an extent as to be able to face the worries of life until the holidays come rounct again. Do you get many day excursionists here?" "Yes, a few." "And how do they manage it on wet days ?" "Most" of them spend their time in public-houses, because there is no other place for them to go." "It is disgraceful. Certainly no credit to the town of Llandudno. Here you have plenty of accommodation in your town, and the promoters of the entertainments held therein prefer to keep their doors closed on wet weather rather than throw them open. It would, not only be a. source of income, but gTeat convenience to visitors and day excursion- ists. What is surprising to me is the fact that Llandudno has not speculated in a nice little park, and specially erected pavilion where your splendid promenade band, or your exceptionally good minstrel troupe could, by paying a small rent, entertain visitors on rainy days. It is a wonder that your local press has not taken the matter up." The visitor who expressed himself so freely to the waiter—who, as it will be ob- served, was becomingly taciturn expressed what, I dare say, is felt by many. There are many complaints as to the scarcity of amuse- ments and entertainments, and yet, all those al- ready existing are not remarkably well patronised. Still, provision for wet days would undoubtedly be an acquisition.
