FUN IN THE CARNARVON POLICE COURT. I BLACK LIST OR A FINE. At the Carnarvon County Petty Sesslonfs, on Saturdlaiy, before J. Menkes, Esq., and other magistrates, John Williams, Llwynderw, Taly- sarn, was summoned for being drunk on two occasions. 'His ctase had been before the pre- vious loom; but his wife, in putting1 in an appearance in 'bis steady had explained has ab- sence by saying slhe did not wish to subject him to tihe temptations of tihe town. By Satur- day, there was a (further charge against Ihim of the same kind., tihe summons having been served' thaJt morning. Defeooantsteppoo jauntily into the dock, and made a profound' obeisanae to the Benoh. On being dharigied witlh tihe first offeuuoe, /de- fendant pleaded guilty to being drunk, but not to beSinig disorderly. "Every gentleman in the place knows I am never disorderly, tihom^h I do get drunk, and that's the truth. But I aim often wrongly charged!^ by the police. Every- body knows tlhat, too." Askedl whether would elect to 'Waive the two cases tried and disposed of tlhat daiy, or to hold over the (bearing of tJhesedond for a. week, defendant cautiously replied: "That depends upon how much I Shall nave to play. I don't know whether the wife has enough to pay two fines in one dlay." "Oh, yes, I have, J'dhn Ibadh!" came the en- I oouilaging reply of the wife from the body of the court, anmtet resounding Snouts of laughter. Thus reassured') dlefendant proceeded. "Now, look here! I 'have been drunk all the week, and that's the trutih. Give nue one fine for all the week, andi let's be done with it." iHia attempted to sit down in tihe dock, but there being no chair, 100 neairly came to grief. Finding no seat in the dock, he ^stepped down and calmly took a vacant seat behind the solid- tors at. the table. Mr [Richard Roberts, solici- tor, turning to him, and. in a wlhisper advising him to be quiet, was rewarded by a patronisimg pat on the head, and an assurance that it wfais "all right, did dhap, all right," at whiah Bench, IBar and! 'Court ■were convulsed with laughter. iSleeing tihe magistrates aibout to retire for private consultation, and apparently alarmed lest they should Imye forgotten his case, defend- ant jumped up, cryinig excitedly ? "HeTe 'I say How much must I pay?" On the return Of tihe magistrates, tihe Chair- man called bim up near the Bienoh. Defendant did not at first understand: but when the clerk explained in Welsh, he replied in the siame tongue: "00 up to Mr Menzies! Yes, in a mmuite. He and I are good old friends The confidence seemed to be justified by the paternal (manner in which the chairman ad- dressed bim, pointing out that this was the fifth conviction in twelve months. 'TXon't you think you bad better go on! the black list?" asked the 'Chairman. "Yes," came tlbe ready response. "I should like you to put me on the black list, if I don't have to pay I 'I wouldn't care a bit if it wasn't for my little girl and my old woman over yon- der," pointing to his wife. And! so the matter ended. Defendant con- sented to 'so on the black list, assured the Bencfo they would never see bim there again, and shiook bis hieadi sadly as his wife paid the 19s costs.

THE REVISION COURTS.
THE REVISION COURTS. BANGOR. COLONEL PLATT AND HIS VOTE. I On Friday, Mr Baldtwin Yates attended at I Bangor for revising M. E. Nee, with Mr Burns, appeared for the Ooaservatdves, and Mr Pentir Williams, with Mr A. C. Downs, for the Liberals. Mr Pentir (Williams pointed! out that whereas the town was diviidiedi into ffiour ward's, the list was not correspondingly divided: and asked) the barrister to make an ordier that it be divided.—- Mr Yates said hie hadi no power to do so, but he would! communicate with the clerk of the peace on 'the point.—Mr Pentir Willliiama held tihe view that the (barrister was tihe only person authorised tio make such an order. Mr Downs, on bdbalf of the Liberals, objected to a vote claimed! by Oolonel Piatt in (respect of a room at the Masonic Hall, whiah, it was al- leged, Ihe occupied! as Ia. bedroom whenever his business in town nedessitated his staying over- mglht. <'> Mr Nee said the case had been thoroughly gone into last year, and he rnuwt say that this re-opening of the case by Hhs LiberalL party was nothing eilse than persecution. The Revising Barrister begged! Mr Nee not tto mention pafftiles. Mr Downs fia'id that Ihas objection was tHnat the noom in respect of which Colonel Piatt claimed' was not Tatod. Mr Nee said Colonel Piatt paid rates and tares for the whole building. Mr 'Downs, whilst admitting that, pointed out that the Mlasonic iBuiHings were divided into a numibetr of offioes, each of wthich was rated serplaratelv, hut tlhat Colonel Piatt's bed- room (had not been separately rated. He ap- pealed! to tlhie valuation list, wlhich Mr iR. 0. Hughes, tlbe assistant overseer, went for.—Mr 'Downs submitted the íbook to the barrister, wllao said Ihe coulid not find any rating indicated with respect to this room, but aifter hearing _Mr iNee and- Mr Downs further, he confessed, nim- self quite ipuzzledl. IRe iaskied if it was nob pos- sible to proldhice eome pe-rson: wtho made tJlw original assessment. Mr H. Ü. HTiarhes «aid it would be quite use- less to povyd>e sudh) a person even if possible, as tfine valmation was made nearly twenty years ago. Ultimatiely. tihe BairrLstelr donfe^ed himself entirely unable tio decide on the evidence 'pro- ducted whether this noom was separately rated1 or not, and he could not say that the objection lhad been sustainled. The vote would, therefore, stand.

ALLEGED CRUELTY BY FOSTER…
ALLEGED CRUELTY BY FOS- TER PARENTS. At the Conway Petty Sessions, on Mtaroday last, before H. Kneesshtaw, Esq., J.P., presid- ing, and several o&hier magistrates, Evan Jones, labourer, and his wife, Sarah Jones, living at 9, Alexandra-road, 'Llandudno, were chargied on Temand, at the instance of the N.S.P.C.C., with ihiaving diurinig the past six months wilfully neg- lect,eda child named Agnes Lilly Devenport, in a manner likely to cause it unnecessary suf- fering. Mr R. S. Ohamberlam;, aolacitofr, Llandudno, appeared! to prosecute on beihaBf of the society, and prisoners were defended by Mr R. Belhs, solicitor, Llandudno. Mr Chamberlain stated t'he defendants re- sided) with their children at the address men- tiarued, and undertook to nurse the illegitimate child on the understanding that they were to receive 5s weekly for its maintenance. He would not say that tlhat money had been paid regularly^ fior tlhere were some airrears due to them. The details otf the neglect were very revolting, land he thought tihe Bendh would be of opinion that the defendants had (been guilty of criminal neglect of tlbe child, whidh was found to be in a very emaciated and srtairved condition. Dr T. L. Kendlrick Davies, of Llandudno, de- posed that the examined the dhild, which was six montihs old, at the defendant's house, and found it to be very emaciated, and it was no- thing but a skeleton of oskin and bone; weighing only Rve pomnds. He requested the sister of the female dlefendant. who was present and had I charge of the child at the time, to strip it of the clothing, and she asked him to go to tihe door because there was a terrible ISbanidh pro- ceeding from it. When the dhilid was stripped, he saw a gore on the right side of the head discharging matter, about the size of a fouir- shillin<r piece. There was an absoess on the discharging matter, about the size of a fouir- shilling piece. There was an absoess on the I back of the hlead, one below tJhe right ear about tihe size of a hazel or walnut, and over the cheek bone, and one over tihe left ear. Several of them were discharging, but onie on the upper I lip was not. The 1Dadk and the buttocks were inflamed and uicerated, and' one of the ulcers almost penetrated down to the bone at the lower portion of the spine. The mouth, tongue, inside of the cheeks and lips were covered with tlb-rash, and the dhild had apparently been very rpoorly nourished and was filthy, sffiowing that it had ibeen greatly neglected, It was lying on a pillow in a basket, from which tlhere were offensive odours. He found some poor milk andi barley water in a tup, whiich was akto very dlirty with dust. The food was not. sufficiently nourishing for the child. He was of the opinion that the child had been caused unnecessary 'suf- fering by the treatment and the abscesses found on its body. It might have been acute suffering. Inspector Owen, of the police force, was with him when he examined: the child, which was now in the workhlouse. He saw the child, in July last, when the female dlefendant brought it to him, and he weighed it, w*lnen he told1 Iher it was under-weight. He pretsoribed for the child's condition. By Mr Bellis: He prescribed medicine, and ordered mialtine for tie child when ine first saw it in July. The female prisoner purchased some maltine from him, and '2s 6d would have paid for that and the Consultation. If he soldi her a ibottie of maltine, it would probably be a sample ibottle 'hie 'had, containing a small quantity. It wouldi not be a very expansive item to purchase maltine and. besides, a very small quantity was sufficient for a dose. Did yarn know that the female defendant was suckling her own young baby which sihle has now in her arms?—Yes. And you. advised her to give tlhis dhild her own breast?—I don't recollect that. You also advised her tio give the illegitimate cihild cream?—Yes. As a medical man, would you not a^ree with the theory that t/he abscesses were really the re- suits Of a weakly constitution of the child ?—iNo. Doea not a child in a. weakly state have wb- scesses ?—.Not unless it is neglected, Hiave you not seen absceases on children of weakly condition?—!0(h, yes; and neglect and filth would! bring them. Germs get on to the body. and abscesses result. And you 'have found cases of well-to-do per- sons where abscesses have developed?—Yes; (but wth.en such cases 'have arisen, they wietre not allowed to go on. They have ibeen treated. You mean to say that in this case the neglect wias in tiheir not seeing a doctor sooner?—Just 'so. Cross-examined further, witness said he rwas aware that poor people wtere not frequently in the position to consult a doctor as better-off persons were alble to do. He had found that young Children very often suffered because of the inability of parents either to .get proper foodi for fcbem, or to employ medical men. In such cases, you would not dhargia parents with committing a criminal offence; in fact, you would sympathise with them?—-There arc always means of gtetting medical advice where cases are urgent and: require it. ■Oontinuinjg, witness said tlhat in consiequenioe of a. message which was left at his hotuse, he went tio the to see tihe dhild. Witness >staid, snmdingly, that he thought the female dlefendant had called for a certificate, or wanted one, of death. Mr Bellis Dlon't smile, doctor, in tlhat way, because it does not become a medical man to assume circumstances Which do not come to yoour knowledge. Witness It often comes to OUT knowledge. Mr Bellis: (But we are dtealing witih this case upon its merits. Witness, answering additional questions, said he presorfbadl antiseptic ointment far tihe child, and as she had used ifb, that did not appear as thougfh she wan neglecting the child. She had not neglected his instructions in that respect. When he was at the house on that particular ocdasion, he required' Ihis fee, buit he only re- ceived lis 6d of it. He dlild not kmow tlhat that was all the money the d'eferadiante had in tihe bouse at t'he time. He did! not know tlhat in consequence of bier husband being out of work itifoa female dtefendanlt lhaxi been obliged to go out washing to maintain the family and the childJ in question; but- he was told SO !by her sister. Re-examined The ptresende of the alfosoesses was sufficient reason why th.e dhild should re- ceive more 'attention. Tlie stores on tihe buttocks and spine were causfed by the child being* al- lowed to lie a long time in a dt'irty condition on lowed to lie a long time in a dt'irty condition on tihe bed. Mr J. Allanson Picton, J.P. Are there any means of persons obtaining gratuitous medical advice in such circumstances? Witness: I suppose an order could have been obtained from the relieving-offioer for advice. Mr Pieton As a medical man, could you say that the eores and the condition of the child could be explained by hereditary weakness?— They could not.. Inspector iCboke, of the society, said that in consequence of a complant received, he visited the "defendant's bouse along witlh Dr Davies on the 16th September, and saw the childi. He cor- roborated Dr Davies's evidence as to tihe condi- tion of the child. The poor milk and barley water which they found' was being given to tihe child was blue in colour. The tcthdld bad been fed with a ispoon as there was mat a feeding bottle in the house. lHe had the cliild phoitO- grapihied, WJd ihe had! seem the reiEeving-officer for the child ,to be removed, to tlhte workhouse, but the officer said he oou.1d not give the order. He tried the Oottage Hospital, but it was useless wasting time there. Hie atfteriwards went to Rhyl to see tihe mother, wblo was in service there, and slhe said' 9he coulid not give him any assistance in removing" the child. In the meantime, he founxH that Police-Inspector Owen bad removed tihe child'. There were no doubt the childi had been seriously neglected. Cross -examined: He did nob know^that some experienced! nurses fed babies with a sipoon. It was neglect not to ihaVle a feeding bottle for the child. 1Leknoew that tihe female defendant Ihiad a fee to call the doctor in on the 6tih Sep- tember. Hie took the warrant out for the arrest of the woman because it was an urgent case. He did not <ask tihe police to detain iher; it was the child ihe wanted, not the female defendant. At tihe time he acted, he had no respect for tlbe law it was the chJiiklls life Ihe thought of, which was xviore than tihe law. Hie was prepared to act illegally to save tlbe child's life. He had some difficulty in arranging for itlhe remjoml of the dhiLd, but he did not complain df any dis- courtesy. Sairah Devenport., domestic servant, Rhyl, said the child in question was hter's, and eihe placed it with the female defendant to ibe nursed and caredi for at 5s per week, wlhich was to be paid out of tber wages quarterly. She was1 owing £2 for eight weeks maintenance to tihe defendants. She visited1 the child wthen on a Holiday on the 6tih September, and seeing, the sores on its body, she asked Mrs Jones to go with her to Dr iDavies. They went, but hie was out; and! as she could not wait longer, "dhe igave Mis Jones 2s 6d to pay the doctor's fee. When she was staying and working in Llandudno, the dhild was all right. Cross-exianiinied: Mns Jones never requested her to take the child away. Slue was out rwlork- ing to do the best for the child and beraelf. Mrs Jones asked her several times to :<?o inJto .the house, when shie was living in Llandudno, to nurse the child, and she did so on Sunday after- noon* but she wen.t tio church in the mornings. She did not know that latterly her flJ.a,bv was "so ill. It was not a fact tfhiat instead of going to churdh on the (Sunday mornings she went ram- bling over tihe Warren. She spent about an hour in the afternoon with the child. She knew t'ha.t the female prisoner was going iqut to work to get food for her own family. Witness earned I at a Llandudno laundry 138 per week, but out of that labe 'had to maintain herself and pay for lodgings. Mr Bdlis Who was in the best position, you or the poor defendants, .to look after the dhild? Don't you think that with the defendants you ought to be in the dock? Don't you think they have taken on themselves your troubles and your responsibilities, land tibia is the resiult?— No answer. The Chairman: Siha 'has stated she has had another child. Mr Bellis (to witness) Is that child living?— I No, soir. The Chairman: What age was your first I child when it died?—Three months. Was it put out to nurse?—No; I was in a home with it. I Police-Inspector Owen deposed tlliat !he saiw tJhechildi with the doctor, and1 corroborated as to its condition. Dr Pricbard, J.P., stated that fhle SalW the child on the 17t!h September, when it was in an j emaciated condition. He desoribed the sores on its body, which were not caused by any natural illness, but produced by filtih antdl*ne»- lect. When he first saw the child in tihe work- house, it weigihed 51b., but that morning it's I weig(ht had increased by twelve ounces in the | week, through excellent nursing amd good! food. Crosis-examined: There Wlelrle greater oppor- tunities Of looking after the child in the work- I house than in: the labourer's ordinary oottage. The dhild had had nothing but milk and small doses of brandy. It recfuiredi biandy to stimu- late tihe circulation. The sores wtere mostly healed. This ww the dase for the prosecution. Mr Bellas, in a telling and impassioned speedh, at the outset, pointed out that the whole story was a sad one. In January last, tine maílie defendant, in doniaequence of being unable to obtain work in Uandudno, went to I WTymblebury, near Hednesford, Staffordshire, wlherQ iMisis iDevenport wlent to live with tlhem, an'di gave birth to the dhild. The male defend- ant, securing work in Llanidludnlo again ati £ 1, I returned, and was followed shortly Iby his wife, who. brought with her the child1 in question, along with her ow;n dhildlren. The child) had been ailing from it's birth, and Mirs Jones took it to iDr Davies, who prescribed for it. Out of his wages, the male defendant had to pa.y 4s 6d per week rent, and that left 15s 6d ion whidh to maintain himself, wife, his two children, and' the otlher child. In August, the lost his work, was ill, and doulld not work; and has wife was obliged1 to go out washing to earn money to help them. During this time, she left tihe child in charge of her sister..Seeing that the female prisioner had' been to see the doctor with tihe child, it did! not appear she was neglletoting it; but when their poverty TO so great dlio was afraid to go again because she had not the money to pay ham. The second time Dr Davies went to tihe house, he asked for this fee of 2s 6d, but as there was only Is 6d in the house he was pSid that, and went away. It was a ques- tion whether the defendants had been guilty of neglect or cruelty, because they were the vic- tims of circumstances owing to their poor con- dition in living on 2ls 6d! per day, which the female defendant earned. A lady in Llandud- no, hearing of their poverty, gave her employ- ment at 3s per day, and that wias a little more ihelp fflotr them. He felt very strongly for the defendants in their present position, for he conscientiously beilitevedi they were in tlnat court through no fault of their own. The mother of the dhild was earning 13s per week in 1,landud- no, and not one penny of which did she hand over to the poor female dtefemidant tio help to maintain the child. He condemned the child's mother for her behaviour on the Sundays in not properly nursing the child when asked to do 00, and in not taking .proper dharge of it when requested by the defendants. The female prisoner gtave evidence, and spoke of the poverty she and husband and dhildren had experienced. She had often asked Miss Devenport to remove the child, but slhe said 1 slhe wanted it to stay witJh them until sihe couldl get a home for it. She had asked Devenport if s'he might gtet the dhild initio tOO workhouse, and she replied, "Yes, if you can." Slhe had done all that wtas possible (for tihe child by call- ing wiith the doctor when .she could afford to do go; but afterwards she was preventedl by want of money. Cnoss-examined): She was sure she had cared for the child, and in fact had done mtome for it than iflar her own children. The 'Chairman inquired if the child was in- sured. Mira JV>ne»: INo, sir. The 'Ohairmian asked Inspector Cooke, of the society, wlhietlher any obstacles had been plated in the way of ,taw investigations by the parent or the fester parents. Inspector Cooke None whatever. The magistrates, after a brief retirement, said they had1 fully considered1 the caBe, and1 it was very fortunate for the d'efendtanto that they had bad sudhl an able advocate. Defendants had certainly neglected the child, but they thotught that undter tihe circumstances in which they were plaoed, it was probaibly very awkward to attend to it properly. At the same time, there was not much excuse for defendants. But they thought that the merits of the case would be met by dismissing it, and ordiering defendants to ibe I bound over in their own recognisances of JB10 each for their (future, good behaviour. The Chairman (on beihalf of the Bench) Midi he would' like to ask the female defendant wlhfctfoer she I had been; in too Ihabit of taking chiQdiren else- I where to nWMe? Female Prisoner No, sir, never before. The Chairman: I am glad' to bear tlhat. be- cause we all consider that sudh habits and con- tinual practice of taking children wftuere persons cannot afford! tio keep them are Very lead, and1 very improper things to do in any social posi- tion of life. With regand to tihe evidence be- fore us, we ihlave 'heard that of tihe mother of the child. I think everyone m court, hear wbat (fell from that woman s hps. We (have heard fnam berr lips a complete and a« se- viene a censure ats one couild give, and we think that everyone in court will fetel that she ought to "have ibeen in the dock as well as the other people. With thiese remarks, we dismiss the case upon tihe 'conditions stated!.
ART AND TECHNICAL CLASSES…
ART AND TECHNICAL CLASSES AT LLANDUDNO. On Monday evening a large and representa- tive audience congregated at the Mostyn Art Galleries, the occasion being the distribution of prizes in connection with the classes andt the commencement of another session. Lord Mos- tyn presided. Among those present were:- Rev R. A. Edgell, Rev Theo. Bishop, Mr J. Adey Wells, J.P., Mr and Mrs G. A. Hum- phreys, Rev aad Mrs Francis Griffith Jones, the Rev Llewelyn Hughes (rector of Llandud- no), and Mrs Hughes, Rev Robert Williams, B.A., and Mrs Williams, Mr, Mrs-, and Miss Bone, Mr L. H. Edminson, Mr and Mrs O. S. Pilkington, Mrs and 'Miss Walker, Mrs Edgell, Mrs Joseph Broome, Mrs T. T. Marks, Mrs J. J. Marks, Mr Archer Thomson, Mr Hanmer Hutchings, &o. Mr E. E. Bone submitted the report of the Executive Committee, which stated that cla,8es were held in freehand) and model drawing, light and shade, geometrical drawing, building con- struction, drawing on the blackboard, design, oil and water colour painting, sketching from the life, andi clay modelling. No. of students, 103; woodcarving and metal embossing (32), shorthand (elementary and-advanced) (33), dress- making and cutting out (23), total, 191. Two inspections were made by the Board of Educa- tion Authorities during the session, and they reported "An excellent start has been made in these classes." The grants received fully bore out the remark, the maximum having been awarded in every subject with a special increase for art and dressmaking. The following certi- ficates bad been awarded to students at the Board of Education Art Examinations —Free- hand drawing in outline, 1 first class, 5 second class; model drawing, 1 first class, 3 secondl class; drawing in light and shade, 3 second class; geometrical drawing, 1 second class; design, stage I., 1 secondi class; drawing on the blackboard, 1 second class. Pitman's ceTti- cates for shorthand: advance stage, 3; elementary, 3. Application had been made to the Board of Education for recognition as an art school which, if agreed upon, would enable the school to earn a higher rate of grants on all the art subjects taught. A definite reply to the point bad not yet been received, but .his Majesty's chief inspector had madie a special visit from London to Llandudno in connection with the application and was met by several members of the committee. The Local Com- mittee having lCommenoedl these classes and placed them on a sound footing, now felt pre- pared, either to hand them over to the direct control of the County Education Authorities, or to continue them as before, providing adequate financial support is given by the county. As the building occupied is quite central, well equipped, and in every way suit- able for the purpose, the committee thought it should be made the home of all technical classes and evening continuation work, and would be glad to centralise and arrange all such work for this area under the supervision of the County Education Committee as per scheme drawn up and submitted to them. Mr Bone said that all would agree with bim that the classes had proved an undoubted success. The members of the Executive Com- mittee had given a great deal of attention to their work, hut he must admit that they were specially indebted to the art master (Mr Hutchings) in whom they had found a com- petent, energetic, and able master. They would .see from the report that the local com- mittee having commenced; these classes and placed! them on a sound footing, now felt pre- pared, either to hand them over to the direct control of the Countv Education Authorities, or to continue them as before, provided adequate financial support was tgiven by the county. But they felt that it was not right that the committee should take over the whole of the financial responsibility. They had received the sum of j3100 for the first year from the County Council, and he hoped that the County Author- ity would in the future provide the whole fin- ancial support. They had made it perfectly clear that the committee was prepared to be superseded .altogether or in part. Personally, he believed, that both the County Council and the Urban Council should be represented on the committee, so that they could! see.how the money was spent. As to the classes there was no gainsaying the fact that they would be for the benefit of Llandudno. The position of the building was central and convenient, and he hoped that the classes would receive the neces- sary financial support in the future to enable them to be continued. They were doing good and excellent work (applause.) ° The Rev Theo. Bishop, in seconding, observed that notwithstanding the fact that it was the first year for the classes, it could not be stated that they had been unsuccessful. They had found a science master whose methods were effective and telling, and the classes had proved a great boon to the town. He hoped that those present would encourage the students, and thereby make the classes in every way more successful in the future than they had been in the past (cheers). The motion was agreed to. Mr J. Adey Wells proposed the adoption of the financial statement, which showed a debit balance of £10. Mr Edminson seconded, and said that con- sidering the difficulties of starting overy^ng new, tne result of the first year's working of the classes had been eminently successful. The students had been earnest workers, and de- served every support (cheers). Upon being put to the meeting, the financial statement was approved' of. Mr J. Hanmer Hutchings, the headmaster, presented his report upon the work of the past session. He ,stated that as the prizes were offered not only for the best individual work but also for the best progress made by the re- spective students, it had been not an easy task to decide to whom the various awards were to be made. He had had to take into considera- tion the abilities of the candidates and the pre- vious instruction they bad received. He would like to point out ,(to the students especially) that without almost a single exception the prizes had gone to those who had attended best. That was only natural, for to make any real progress uninterrupted course of study was most essential. He had no hesitation in awarding the prize for the most successful student of the session to Mrs M. L. Williams, who had gained one first class and two second class certificates in drawing at the Board of Education examina- tion. The first prize for freehand drawing was awarded to Miss C. E. Rhind', who, in addition awarded to Miss C. E. Rhind', who, in addition to gaining tfie highest total of marks in the test examinations, also obtained a first class certi- ficate from the Board! of Education. The prize for dtra/wing from the life was awarded to Miss L. Woodcock, who, be considered, made the best progress in that class. The first prize for geometrical drawing was awarded to Mr Evan Roberts, one of the most earnest pupils he had ever ha.d, and he also gained a second class certificate from the Board of Education. The first prize for building construction went to Peter Holland. ID. deciding the awards to be made for clay modelling, metal embossing, woodcarving, he had the valuable assistance and advice of Mr John Finnie, who was much struck with the refined treatment of the work of Mrs Mayger, to whom the first prize was given; and the second prize was awarded to F. Perrin. The first prize for woodcarving was given to William Williams, and the second to R, Collins, and the prize for metal embossing to N. Nether- woodt. In the dressmaking, the prizes for the subject followed the report of the examiner, Miss Prince Brown, of Artillery Mansions, Lon- don, who was a well-known authority, and ex- j amined the work of the chief schools in London. Her report stated "Considering the short course of lessons the students have received I considier the progress is all that could be ex- pected." Miss E. Hargrave (l.st), F. Barnaby (2nd), and A. iM. Edwards (3rd). For short- hand, the prizes were decided upon by Messrs Pitman, who examined the papers and1 decided as follows:—1st (elementary), A. H. Godwin; 2nd, John Morley. (Advanced), 1st, A. F. Hulls; 2nd, D. Roberts. In conclusion he wished) to take the opportunity of thanking the donors of the prizes, and to assure them that the competition to secure the highest places had been most beneficial and! eansed, an additional interest to the various courses of study. Their thanks were also due to those members of the committee who were good enough to act as superintendents of the different examinations. During the coming session the classes would I include the Sloyd manual instruction, elocution, drawing and painting, etc., woodcarving, metal work, etc., art, embroidery, dresscutting, etc. cookery, etc., etc. The following was the prize- list and the subjects: -Florence Barnaby, 2nd prize for dressmaking; Hellan Bowkett, ditto ior drawing in light shade; Reginald Collins, ditto, woodcarving; John Davies, ditto, build- Mig construction; Alice M.

Hulls, David Roberts, and Isabel Matthews. Lord Mostyn expressed his pleasure at being present, and congratulated both committee, students, and teachers, upon the great success which had attendled1 the classes. He well re- membered the time they were started, and also the conversation he had with Mr Hanmer Hutchings, on the Chester Railway Station, with regard to inaugurating such classes in the town. He told Mr Hutchings that he would give them all possible support, and- felt sure that if they only got to the hands of the right men, the classes would prove successful. The number of students spoke for itself, and the fact that the majority of the students had gained the maximum marks proved1 how success- ful they bad been (cheers). He urged the students to bring their friends with them to this session's classes. The fees were low and within the reach of all. The grant of JB100 re- ceived from the County Council did not seem to be a large amount in aid of the classes, especially when they remembered that Llan- dudno contributed L400 towards technical edu- cation in the county. But be hoped that the County Authority would! see their way clear to vote them a larger sum this year (hear, hear). He quite agreed with Mr Bone that the County Council and the Urban Council should be re- present.ed on" the committee, for he believed that it would be to the interest of the com- munity and the cla-sses. His lordship said that he raw that they had taken up dressmaking. Well, if they could make good and) nice dresses it would be a good advertisement to the town. In conclusion he expressed the regret of Lady Augusta Mostyn in not being able to be present. She had had that building erected to be the home of art and technical classes (cheers). tlï. lordship then distributed! the prizes to the successful prize-winners. Votes of thanks were carried, to Lady Augusta. Mostyn for the free use of the Mostyn Art Gallery, on the proposal of the Rev F. G. Jones, seconded by Mr Bone to t'he head- master and staff, on the motion of Mr G. A. Humphreys, seconded by Mr J. Adey Wells; and to Lord Mostyn for presiding, an the pro- posal of the Rev R. A. Edgell, seconded by the Rector, in a humorous speech.
