The Pavilion wae •about two-thirds filled by an ap- preciative audience.

Dr iBridge said that 'Piepys played1 a "recorder," an ancient- flute of which there are only two sets in th<? world, and one set is at Chester Cathedral. k)ne of these instruments BrBiridge had with bim, and after Masstea- iRobbie Fleet, of Colwyn 1BJ4Y, had played very nicely an old 16th century air, "light o' !Love" on the flute, DrfBridtge p<a.y?d the air on the "recorder," the flute being de- cidedly sweter.

FIRE BRIGADE'S SMART PERFORM- ANCE.—On Sunday evening, a little before 7.30, Mr Foster, foreman of Messrs Underwood and Brother, andj tMr John Lee, road-foreman to the Colwyn Bay Urban District Council, were returning from a walk, and on near home, i Rhyd Farm, Rhos-on-Sea, they noticed that some hay stored in an iron shed at the end of the farm buildings was on fire. An alarm was raised, and one of the men ran to the Rhos Abbey Hotel to )eleph<me for the fire brigade. The message was received at 7.35, and in a marvellus short time the brigade, under the command of Capt. Roberts, and ac- companied by the police, were on the steamer en route for the fire. Unfortunately, the exact locality of the fire had not been plainly inti- mated, hence Driver Kennedy was instructed to make for Rhos by way of Conway-road and Brompton-avenue, thus losing a little time. But, in spite of that, the brigade was on the scene of the fire in 15 minutes after receiving the message; and when it is stated that Rhyd Farm is a good two miles from the fire station, it will be readily under6tood that all con- cerned-police, firemen, coachman, and parti- cularly the horses, supplied by Mr Fred Fran- cis—did their work smartly and well. But, though the firemen were on the spot with all possible speed, the pressure of water on the main was not nearly sufficient, and they were greatly hampered in consequence. The shed in which the hay was stored was closed in on three sides, and this fact probably saved the farm buildings, as the wind, which was blow- iing strongly, was not able to fan the flames as it otherwise would have done. There was about thirty tons of hay in the shed, belonging to Mr Edward Evans, builder, of Penrhyn Bay, and the whole was destroyed, the fire not being entirely put out until Monday after- noon. Capt. Roberts and his men were on the scene all Sunday night till' daybreak, when most of the men and the steamer returned to Colwyn Bay. The value of the hav is only partly covered by insurance. How the fire started has not yet been ascertained.

| FISHGUARD AND AMERICAN I…
| FISHGUARD AND AMERICAN I MAILS I STATEMENT IN PARLIAMENT, In the House of Commons, on Tuesday, Mr Henniker Heaton asked the Pastmaster-General if he was aware that, the opening of the new harbour at Fishguard made it possible for the American and other mails to be delivered in London in some six hours less time than was now the case, and was he prepared to take any steps in the direction of securing to the publio in the matter of the del':verery of the inoom- ing mails the advantages which the opening of. Fishguard Harbour renders possible. Mr Sidney Buxton, in a printed reply, gays I am fully aware of the recent development of Fishguard Harbour, and the possible ad- vantages it offers. I must point out, however, that in most cases the (selection of ports of call by homeward Atlantic liners is not under my control, and the question of the route for the conveyance of mails landed at Queenstown must be considered from the point of view of the country as a whole, and not of London alone.

- NORTH WALES ASYLUM
NORTH WALES ASYLUM THE SEPARATION QUESTION. At the. meeting of the Flintshire Education Committee, on Wednesday, Mr P. P. Pennant, the chairma.n of the North Wales Asylum Com- mittee-, moved that the clerk be. instructed to write to the. North Wales Asylum Committee, repecting the question of future, extensions of the asylum, to the effect that the Council were of the following opinion :—• 11 "(a) That in the first instance the dormitory accomodation should be brought up level with the full capacity of the administrative depart- J ment, these latter being provided with im- proved alId extended appliances where re- 1 quired (b) That subject to the above reserva- tion they would not be favourable to .any fur- ther extension at Denbigh, (c) That in case a second asylum was erected in some other part of the five counties than Denbigh and a proposal wa smade to dissolve the uinion, it would be quite impossible to express any definite opinion on the proposition until the actual terms of tine proposiail were laid before the Council." The .resolution was carried.
ITO LEARN ENGLISH, TEACH IWELSH
I TO LEARN ENGLISH, TEACH WELSH PROFESSOR ANWYL'S PLEA. Professor Morris Jones, Bangor, and Profes- sor Anwyl, Aberystwyth, made strong pro- i nouncements at the prize distribution in con- nection with Barmouth County School on Wed- nesday, in favour of Welsh being taught in schools. Turning to modern language, Professor Turning to modern language, Professor Morris Jones pleaded for a full recognition of Welsh. It was sometimes urged that it was un- necessary to teach Welsh to Wellsh boys, as they knew it already, but the fact tliafi they knew something of it was the strongest reason that they should be furtherl instructed in it. The fact that they had not acquired a new ivocabulary enabled them to commence the study of Welsh at a (point only reached after years of laborious study of a foreign language. They could thus, carry lit to a. higher point than the .study of other languages, and it would enable them to form some idea of the true meaning of linguistic study. He urged the study of Welsh on purely educational1 grounds. The study of English (which wafs doubtless the most important subject in the whole curri- cuïum) would be furthered and not hindered by being taken in conjunction with an intelli- gent study of Welsh (applause).

Horton, John Williams, William Hanes Ed- ward Allen, John Jones, Hugh Evans, Thos. Hoskins, Hugh Davies, Hugh Hughes, George Sevan, and T. H. Morgan. "TOO OLD AT FIFTY." Mr John Williams asked the chairman of the Highways Committee if it was correct that the committee had decided not to employ work- men on the road after reaching 50 years of age. Mr D. O. Williams replied that to his know- ledge it was not so. The Surveyor explained1 that since the en- igiaiging and discharging off worSmen had been placed in his hands he had instructed the fore* man that no man muet eitart to work for the Council after reaching 50 years of age. He had many applications from men who were too old ifor work, and in the interest of the rate- payers he did not think they should be taken on to work for the Council, as it would be tantamount to keeping the men out of the rates. Mr Williams spoke to him about a man who came to his office. He asked him how old he was, and he said 65 years. The man had been working for one firm for ovet 20 years, and had got too old for his work, and the view he (the surveyor) took was that if the man was too old for one firm he was too old for the Council. Mr Williams said the thought 50 years of age was too early to debar men from working for too Council. The Clerk said there was no rule so far as the Council Was concerned. Mr Reynolds I think each case ought to be taken on its merits. I am over fifty, but I think I could still scrape the roads. The matter then dropped. THE PROMENADE AND FORESHORE. The Surveyor had reported that though spring tides and heavy weather occurred on Novemlbeir 11th, little damage was caused to the workis comprised in the recently com- pleted! promenade contracts. Attention had been directed to the action of tihe sea on the tarpavedl roadway ia.t. Cblwyn and to the car- riage road opposite the Colwyn Bay Railway Station usually torn up by the high tides and now protected by the bituminous compound laid down last summer; and it was observed that it would be advantageous to have the part's liable to be damaged) by high seas protec- ted by some impervious surface compound or Deconstructed with tar macadam. fit was de- cided thart ia trial be made of the new material for water-proofing and making dustless road called "Plascom." HORTON v. THE COUNCIL It was reported that Mr Horton's solicitors have given notice o'f appeal against the judg- I ment. w Mr Justioe IBigham, and that at a recent meeting of the (Finance Oommittee a I letter read from 'Messrs Porter, Amphlett and Co., stating that oau.ns>el on behalf of Mr Horton had applied for the costs of the last special case to be payable in whole or in part by the Council, and that Mr Hutchinson op- posed and succeeded in getting the application dismissed. A letter was also read from Miesisrs Pot ten, Amphlett, and' Co., 211st November, applying for JB400 on account of costs. It was agreed that a cheque be drawn for the amount named A SMOKE NTJISiANCE. The Rev E. James Evans, M.A., vicar of the Oldl Church, Llamdrillo-yn-Rhos, wrote com- plaining of ia nuisance caused by the smoke from the North Wales Steam 'Laundry, and after discussing the matter, the sanitary in- spector wtas instructed. to warn the company to aibate the nuisance. THE GOODS SIDING AT MOCHDREt A letter from Sir Frederick Harrison stated that the L. and 'N.-W. R. Co. had considered the question of forming a goods siding at Moch- dre, and was of opinion that the time had not arrived for a goods siding to be mrtde. When the neighbourhood had further de. veloped. the question would agia,inbe con- sidered. Mr Hugh Evans pwnosed, and it was agreed, to write to Sir Frederick Harrison again pointing out that the district around Mochdre is developing considerably, and that tfhie formation of a goods siding would stimu- late that development.

"NO EXTRAVAGANCE"
"NO EXTRAVAGANCE" At the Bangor Bankruptcy Court, on ThUN- day, before Mr Registrar Glynne Jones, Mr Llewelyn Hugh Jones, Official Receiver, pub- licly ex&mined Daridi Gwesyn Prioe, of The Mart, Colwyn Bay. His grots a liabilities were set down at £ 1,104, of which £ 1,067 were expected to rank, the deficiency being returned at ,£802. His explanation of his failure was that his workitag expenses were very high, shortness of capital, and loss in bad debts. Replying to the Official Receiver, the debtor, who is now only 25, said that when he started business he was not 22, and; was married. Ha began business with dMO of his own and j350 borrowed. 'Last September the debtor 1.3- signed his business to 'Mr F. A. Dew for the benefit of his creditors, and an offered oom. position of 4s 6d in the JB was proposed!, but at this arrangement apparently could not be car- ried out, a creditor's petition was filed. Mr Dew then closed the shop, and in the mean- time the landlord distrained and realised. The debtor estimated there was in the trustee's Bands a.bout£OO. The debtor is insured for JB300, the surrender value of whioh is put down at £10. The policy was deposited with bankers who were creditors for j3278 odd. He took 30s. a week for household expenses. The Trustee: Never more? The Debtor: Well, sometimes, for a doctor I er something like that. But you kept the house on 30s a. week?— Yes. The Trustee: Then we can't complain of extravagance. Asked as to his exceedingly high washes bill. the debtor explained that when he took over the business he had to take <vver a man who I had previously managed the busineg, and who had the connection in his hands, so he dared not turn him away, though he was a man he could very well have done without. He paid him 28s a week, and that cripoled him very much at the commencement of his business. The examination was closed.

-A CARNARVON NATIONAL I EISTEDDFOD DISPOSAL OF THE SURPLUS. 1 The Executive Committee of the National Eisteddfod, which was held in August at Car- narvon, met on Friday evening at. the Institute to receive the balance-sheet and to take into consideration the disposal of the surplus. The chairman (Mr W. G. Thomas) presided over a large a £ t«iicLance of memo fare. I A POINT OF ORDER. Before considering the balance-sheet, it was I decided' to discuss the following motion, of which Mr 'Beriah G. Evans had given notice "That no vote be taken ait. any meeting of the Executive 'Committee upon any recommenda- tion of the Finance 'Committee involving ex- penditure not provided for in the estimates, and not authorised' by some previous resolution of the Executive Committee, unless notice in writing containing de- tails of the said recommendation, or re- commendations, shall have been sent to every member of the Executive at leiast three clear days before the meeting at which the adoption of such recommendation, or recommendations, is proposed." MV Evans maintained that the members of the Executive Committee should have the fullest opportunity of coming to a mature judgment, upon the recommendations which would be submitted to that meeting by the Finance Committee. They could hardly be expected to come to a decision immediately upon the raading of those recommendations. Mt T. O. Jones (IGwynfor) seconded the motion, which was lost bv a lar^e majority. THE BALANCE-SHEET. The Finance Committee recommended that the flowing sums be allocated as honoraria: Mr John Williams (conductor of Eisteddfod choir), £ 20: Mr D. L. Harries (secretary of the choir). £ 7; Mr R-. Prichard' (accompanist), £ 6; Mr Orwi'g Williams (accompanist), £ 3 Mr J. G. Roberts (assistant to tlie secretary), £ 4; Messirs J. Williams, T. H. Lewis. D. J. Davies, G. J. Williams (choir stewards), £ 2 each: Mr J. Griffith (door-keeper), £ 2; and Mt W. J. Williams (musical director), £ 10; Mr (Peter Hughes <hon. secretary), £20; Mr W. ,Lloyd Griffith (hon. secretary), £15; trea- sureT's clerks, £ 7 10s. DT 1R. Parry (chairman o'f the Finance Com- mittee) moved the adoption of the report, and Mr J. R. Hughes seconded. Mir -R. Bryan remarked' that the sums it was proposed1 ito give Messrs R. Prichard, Or wig" Williams, andi W. J. Williams were too sm'ill for the services they had rendered. He pointed out that Mr Prichard had attended be- tween 50 and 60 rehearsals of the choir, whilLst Mr 1 Or wig Williams had had to come from Llanberis to be present at the rehearsals, and, like Mr Prich'ard, was at the Eisteddfod for four days. Mr W. J. Williams had also rendered valuable service. He proposed that Mr Prichard should £ 10, Mr Orwie Wil- lianis £ 5, tod iMr 'VV. J. Williams £ 20. ° i r j!'valls May I ask upon what prin- cup lie thje Finance 'Commit tee nave gone in making these several allocations? • Dt E.^rry uP°n the principle that ,a labourer j is worthy of his hire.

However, afteir allocatiing various Bums as ho.noraria there remiained a balance of 1£1388. Messrs Hold/en and W. Owen, the auditors of the hooks, complimented the general secretary (Mr Griffith Owen) upon the excellent way in which the books had been kept the accounts being described as nearness IIJ1¡(l accuracy. JK LETTER FIRIQM THE SECRETARY A letter was read from the secretary (Mr G Owen) referring to the exceptionally large amourtt of work which the duties bed involved & D^rsis *r"is ■had fo»"d ii to pay attention to his own business, while at least two-thirds of the J3178 paid to him as f salary and commission had been again paid by him for clerical assistance. •Adascu^on ensued1 as to granting the ecre- t7+ha,+ nn°frv 1U!C1' Mi; Ro'bert obsei-v- ng that on thas point there should be no carp- ing critacism.
