LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATION.—At the North Wales Calvinistic Methodist Association, held last week at Trawsfynydd, letters of recommendation were addressed to the Rev John Williams, Colwyn Bay, and to the Rev Owen Evans, Colwyn Bay, on their leaving this country on a visit to America. LOCAL SUCCESSES.—We are glad to find (as will be seen from another column) the names of Maggie Owen, Mannie Owen, P. Currie, Margaret Roberts, M. Ellen Hughes, Babsie Burwell, and Carrie Jones, among the successful competitors at the examination of the Calvinistic Methodist Sunday Schools in the Vale of Conway District. COLWYN BAY IN THE ROYAL ACADEMY'S SUM- MER EXHIBITION. — The Liverpool Daily Post, in its first notice of the Summer Exhibition of the Royal Academy of Arts, says that Mr B. W. Leader, R.C.A., sends "a fine broad study of Colwyn Bay, which is painted with delightful fidelity to nature under a somewhat cold and difficult atmosphere." A SCHOLASTIC SUCCESS.—It is with pleasure that we find our young men entering heartily on the pursuit "of knowledge, and now this has eventuated in another success, Master W. H. Williams, Oakfield House, Colwyn Bay, having gained the certificate of proficiency in Pitman's Shorthand (taught by the Rev Walter Lanceley, C.M.P.S,, Holywell), dated April 27th, 1892. THE FORTHCOMING HOLINESS CONVENTION.— At the Holiness Convention to be held at the Public Hall, Colwyn Bay, from next Sunday, May 8th, till (and including) the following Sunday, May 15th, Mr F. W. Crossley will preside, and the following ladies and gentlemen will take part:—The Rev G. D. Watson, D.D., U.S.A., author of "Love Abounding Mrs G. D. Wat- son the Rev E. W. Moore, Wimbledon Miss Isabella Leonard, U.S.A.; Mr J. G. Govan (Faith Mission, Scotland); and Mrs F. W. Crossley. THE CONGO INSTITUTE "CUCKOO" COLLECT- ING CARDS.—That melodious harbinger of spring," the cuckoo, having already arrived, it is the time when there are issued to the young folks the" Cuckoo" collecting cards of the Colwyn Bay Congo House Training Institute for African Children, of which Institute the Rev W. Hughes, F.R.G.S., is the founder and secretary, whilst Mr Hughes's friend, Mr H. M. Stanley, the African explorer, is one of the Institute's patrons. These collecting-cards are issued each year when the cuckoo arrives, and are returned, with the money collected, in or about August, the time when the cuckoo wings its flight towards Africa's austral summer, in the sunny lands under the stars of the Southern Cross. THE COLWYN BAY MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS.— The Colwyn Bay District is rapidly pushing to the front amongst favorite seaside resorts, and the new buildings are added attractions, and any- thing but detrimental to the appearance of the streets. Take Station Road for example, the new buildings on the west side fill an empty gap which was not handsome, to say the least. Almost any buildings there would have been appreciated, but the eight fine shops and houses Mr E. Foulkes and Mr Madren erected, not only fill the gap satisfactorily, but also are incapable of alteration for the better. The municipal offices (now in course of erection), which will complete this group of handsome buildings, are shown in our illustration. These offices comprise a Police Court, a Police Station, &c., for the Denbighshire Magistracy and County Council offices for the Colwyn Bay and Colwyn Local Board premises for the National Provincial Bank of England and two suites of offices for private firms. The walls are faced with Ruabon bricks, and the dressings are of local stone. Mr Edward Foulkes is the builder, and the architects (to whom great credit is due for their admirable taste) are Messrs Booth, Chadwick, and Porter, of Colwyn Bay and Manchester. THE LLANGWSTENYN SCHOOL-CHURCH.—In re- porting the opening of the Llangwstenyn School- Church, we regret that we omitted to mention that Mr John Roberts, Colwyn Bay, was the contractor that the work was carried out from the designs and under the superintendence of Mr G. A. Humphreys, M.S.A., architect, Llandudno and that the site was given by Mr William Bostock, J.P., Colwyn Bay. THE NORTH WALES BOTTLING TRADERS.—On Wednesday afternoon, April 27th, at the Imperial Hotel, Colwyn Bay, at a meeting of North Wales bottlers, there were present:—Messrs Hughes and Clarke, Rhyl; Davies, Colwyn Bay; Griffiths, Llanrwst; Edwards, Carnarvon; Pocock. Bangor; Davies, Ruthin Dunphy, Hooson, T. O. Owen, and Littler, Llandudno.—It was determined to fall in with the Association in course of formation, and register a Company under the title of the North Wales Mineral Water and Ale and Porter Bottlers' Association. Mr Stephen Dunphy and Mr John Littler, both of Llandudno, were elected Chairman and Hon. Sec. respectively. Mr James Hughes, of Rhyl and Liverpool, very kindly promised five guineas towards preliminary expenses. The pro- ceedings were very enthusiastic, it being felt that members would derive much benefit by the hindering—to a large extent,—of the present wholesale dispersal of bottlers' property, which not infrequently goes astray to distant parts of the United Kingdom.

INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ODDFELLOWS (M.U.), LOYAL EURYN LODGE. The second anniversary of the Loyal Euryn Lodge was held on Monday morning, May 2nd, when the members mustered at the Lodge Room, Penrhyn Temperance Hotel, at ro o'clock, and formed into procession, headed by the Colwyn Brass Band the swordsmen (Bros Morris and Ellis) guarded the Dispensation, which was borne by Bros Whitley and Hutchinson Bros Powell and Godden, mounted on horseback, were followed, in order mentioned, by the Band the members of the Juvenile Lodge the adult mem- bers (each member bearing the Sash of the Order, and rosettes) carrying the Regalia and several mounted horsemen. The procession, which was under the supervision of Bros J. Roberts, E. Baxendell, and J. R. Barnwell, starting from the Lodge-room, marched down Station Road and up Sea View Terrace, to St Paul's Church, where service was conducted by the Rev J. Griffith, M.A., Curate, in the unavoid- able absence of the Vicar. After service the procession again marched along Bay View Road, Greenfield Road, up Lawson Road, thence—on the main road-to Colwyn and back, along Abergele Road, Conway Road, and up Pwll- ycrochan Avenue, to the Pwllycrochan Hotel, where it was announced that Mr Porter had subscribed one guinea towards the funds, and had became an honorary member. From Pwlly- crochan the procession wended its way through the Park to Walshaw, where it became known that the Rev Mr Haworth had subscribed one guinea towards the funds, and had become an honorary member. The next move was through Brackley Avenue into Pwllycrochan Avenue, and down Marine Road to the Colwyn Bay Hotel, where there was yet another pleasing announce- ment, that Miss Jones had subscribed half-a- guinea to the funds of the Order. Three cheers were given to the donors on each occasion. The processioneers (grouped) were afterwards photo- graphed, near the Colwyn Bay Hotel, by Mr Chas. R. Chaplin. The procession then returned up Marine Road, along Conway Road, calling at Bryn for the Medical Officer (Dr Montague- Venables- Williams), and thence went to the Public Hall, where a substantial dinner was awaiting their arrival, prepared by the host and hostesses (Bro Jonathan Roberts, Mrs Roberts, and Miss Roberts, Penrhyn Temperance Hotel). The spread was really excellent, and fully sus- tained Mr and Mrs Roberts's good reputation as caterers. It was upon taking their seats at the tables, which were laid in excellent style, that the smallness of the number showed that a great many Brothers were absent on so important an occasion, but all who were present enjoyed them- selves immensely. Mr A. W. Newton, M.A., J.P., Cornelyn, who occupied the Presidential Chair, was supported by Mr Allen and Dr Montague Venables Williams, the Vice- President being the Rev J. Griffiths, M.A., supported by Mr F. W. Stubbs, and Herr Loetschert. At the presidential summons, quiet- ness prevailed all around, for the President to propose the loyal toast, which was musically honored.—In responding to the President's toast of The Bishop, Clergy, and Ministers of all other denominations," the Rev J. Griffiths said, I am not a Bishop, and I am not a Vicar, but I am a humble curate. I am very pleased to be present with you to-day. It is a pleasure to meet one another,—we are separated on Sundays, we in the pulpit and you in the congregation, but on week-days we come together, on week days we mix with our laity, and in so doing we better each other,—as the tradition goes, haiarn a hoga haiarn" (applause).—Bro Allen, in an able speech, proposed the toast of the Manchester Unity's Board of Directors, coupling with it the name of Bro Jonathan Roberts, P. P.G.M. (applause).-Bro Roberts, in responding to the toast, gave a very good account of the Order, from the time when he joined it forty years ago, saying that he was as proud of it now as he was then. The Order was never in a better state than now. The Manchester Unity was now head and shoulders above any other Friendly Society in the world, it being the best-governed and wealthiest Society. In dwell- ing upon the work of the Juvenile Society, the speaker said that there were now over seventy thousand juveniles belonging to the Society, and that a procession of these Juveniles, three-a-breast, would be two hundred miles in length (applause). Responding to the toast of the evening, "The Success and Prosperity of the Loyal Euryn Lodge," proposed by the Vice-President, the Secretary (Bro E. Baxendell), read the statistical statement, which showed that the Loyal Euryn Lodge was a healthy, a wealthy, and a steadily- growing Lodge, and a Lodge, moreover that continued to satisfactorily progress. On the night of the Lodge's opening, eleven were initiated into the Order, and by the end of the first year there were forty-one members, the financial balance being £ 6, after paying £ 16 expenses. In the following year the membership had inceased to sixty-one, the receipts were £ 62, and the expenses -63o. Last year the membership-cards showed eighty-four members, and the receipts were £122, and the expenses £43. The Lodge had progressed most favorably in the past, and he hoped it would long continue to progress in the future.—Bro William Jones proposed the toast of the Officers of the Loyal Euryn Lodge (applause).—This toast was responded to by Bro A. S. Allen, in English, and by Bro J. Williams, N.G., in Welsh.—Bro Enoch Jones proposed the health of the Medical Officer (Dr Montague Williams), who, in a brief speech, responded to the toast.-Bro J. Brett proposed the health of the Juvenile Lodge, which was seconded by the Secretary (Mr Baxendell). Herr Loetschert proposed the health of the President, which was received with musical honors. —The President, responding, said that he was glad to be present a second time at their Anniver- sary (applause).—Bro J. P. Jones, P.G. proposed the toast of the Honorary Members and the Visiting Brothers, and Mr Stubbs responded on behalf of the Honorary Members, and Bro Nichols on behalf of the Visiting Brothers.—Bro T. W. Whitley proposed the toast of "The Press," coupling with it the names of Messrs W. R. Jenkins and William LI. Evans, who afterwards suitably responded.—Bro Godden then had the pleasing duty of proposing the toast, "Mine Host and Hostess," Bro and Mrs Jonathan Roberts, who, he said, had catered in a first-class manner, everything being most satisfactory--Bro Jonathan Roberts, P.P.G.M., in a most humorous speech, thanked all for their good wishes, on behalf of Mrs Roberts and himself.—Herr Loetschert proposed the healths of Miss Roberts and all the other young ladies who had laid the tables out so nice, and this toast was drunk with enthusiasm.—In the evening a grand concert was held under the presidency of Mt F. \V. Stubbs, Herr Loetschert accompanying the artistes on the pianoforte. The first part opened with selections by the Old Colwyn Brass Band; song, Honour and Arms," Mr R. Ll. Samuel; song, "Good Company," Mr T. Evans-Hughes song (encore), "Sunshine and Rain," Miss Lizzie Rowland (Blodwen-y-Ddol); song, "The Lost Song," Mr W. Jones song, Love's Old Sweet Song," and, as an encore, The Reign of the Roses," Miss Nellie Moore (Chester); song, "The Gauntlet," Mr J. R. Barnwell humorous song, "Up to Date," and as an encore, "The Two Sweethearts," Mr Bethell. (Part Second) song, "Tell Me My Heart," and as an encore, Hen Procer Bach Gloew fy Nain," Blodwen-y-Ddol; song, "Gwlad y Delyn," Mr R. LI. Samuel; song, "Some Day," Miss Nellie Moore; song, When Lovers Say, Good- Night," Mr T. Evans-Hughes song (encored), The Children's Home," BIodwen-y-Ddol song, The Flying Dutchman," Mr J. R. Barnwell Welsh air, The Missing Boat," Mr W. Jones; humorous song, The Lodger," and, as an encore, Killalloo," Mr Bethell. The second Anniversary terminated by the audience singing the English National Anthem. Mr C. T. Aves accompanied Mr W. Jones in his songs. The Old Colwyn Brass Band did good service during the day, and—at the evening service during the day, and-at the evening concert—Mr R. LI. Samuel rendered his portion of the programme in his usual good style. Mr T. Evans-Hughes was not heard to advantage, as he has only recently recovered from a severe illness, but under the circumstances he did his share creditably. Mr W. Jones gave a pathetic rendering of both his songs. Mr J. R. Barnwell was quite at home in his songs, but more so in The Gauntlet." Mr Bethell in his humorous songs fairly delighted those present, who gave him quite an ovation. Miss Nellie Moore, of Chester, made a good impression on her audience, and fairly captivated them in Love's Old Sweet Song" and The Reign of the Roses,"—this lady possesses a rich and well-cultivated contralto voice, and we hope to hear her again soon in Colwyn Bay. Miss Rowland (Blodwen-y-Ddol) was in better voice than we have ever heard her (and that's saying a good deal),—she took her audience with her throughout all her songs and received, as did also Miss Nellie Moore, an overwhelming burst of applause after each appearance. Herr Loetschert went through his task in a masterly manner, and of course was a recipient of the plaudits of the audience. We hope that the concert will be a success financially, but we are sure that it was a success musically.

A.V.—The military correspondent of the Weliingfon Journal in last Saturday's issue of that paper, states, on the authority of Capt A. B. Jones, Quartermaster of the ist Staffordshire and Shropshire Artillery Volunteers, who, it will be remembered, encamped on Maesdu farm, Deganwy, in August Bank Holiday week of 1891, will go under canvass, at Deganwy, on August 6th, next, and not on August 13th, as had been erroneously stated. THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE VICAR OF CON- WAY'S INSTALLATION AT BANGOR.—The Rev Henry Rees, M.A., Vicar of Conway, was to have been, on Thursday, April 28th, installed Precentor and Honorary Canon of Bangor Cathedral, but the ceremony had to be postponed owing to the reverend gentleman not having sufficiently recovered from his recent serious indisposition. His many friends in Conway were pleased to learn that last week he was allowed to go out of the Vicarage for a short walk, for the first time since his illness. SERVICES AT THE CONWAY UNION WORKHOUSE. -On Thursday evening, April 28th, at a service held in the Conway Union vVorKnouse dining-hall, the Rev J. P. Evans, Welsh Congregationalist minister, Henryd, preached a sermon based on 2 Peter iii. 9.—On Sunday morning, May ist, to a prayer meeting held in the dining-hall, Conway Welsh congregations sent, as deputations to represent them, Mr E. P. Hughes, Wesleyan and John Williams, Calvinistic Methodist.—At half-past ten on Sunday morning, Mr Moulsdale, the Conway Station-master, conducted an English service held in the wards. THE CONWAY NATIONAL SCHOOLS.—The Con- way National Schools have again done well as usual, and have earned ^337 6s. 9d. grant. The following gratifying reports of the schools, we ex- tract from the May number of The Conway Parish Magazine for the benefit ofthose of our readers (out- side Conway) who do not see our ever-interesting monthly contemporary Boys-Mr. W. Allan. "A good proportion of problems were solved, and the results, both in the elementary and specific subjects, were very good and uniform. The second standard was relatively feeble in reading, class subjects, and mental arithmetic. The poetry was well said and its meaning well mastered. The characters of the rooms calls for special attention to discipline, which, though fairly satisfactory, is inferior to the instruction. Considering everything however, the higher prin- cipal grant has been fairly earned." Girls' school —Miss Wakeling. "This department is thorough- ly well conducted, and, with the sole exception of the arithmetic of the sixth and seventh standards, which is comparatively backward, the results, both in elementary and class subjects, are very good and uniform domestic economy also very satisfactory." Infants' School. "Last year's report represents very accurately the condition of this department on this occasion."

THE MINUTES CONFIRMED. The minutes of the previous Council meeting, and of the various Committees were read and confirmed. THE SANITARY COMMITTEE. It was reported that at a meeting of the Sani- tary Committee it was decided to fix a meter at Gorphwysfa.—A letter was read, from the Local Government Board, sanctioning Hugh Rees's appointment as Medical Officer of Health. THE REMOVAL OF GRAVEL. The Harbour Committee reported that the Board of Trade had written stating that they would allow the removal of gravel from the bank, on payment of the nominal sum of 5s as a nominal recognition of the Crown rights. MR MAIRS'S ENGAGEMENT AT THE GAS WORKS. The Estate Committee reported that it had been decided to give a month's notice to Mairs to terminate his engagement at the Gas Works, and that the Clerk should advertise for another man.—These minutes, as previously stated, were duly confirmed. FINANCE STATISTICS The Finance Committee reported that £ 863 6s 4yd was outstanding on various accounts. The balance due to the Bank was £ 1881 15s. THE TYWYN ROAD. The following tenders were received for making Tywyn Road: Mr. Bugbird, £ 326; Messrs. Roberts and Ellis, £ 484 Mr. Roger D. Hughes, £440. The Borough Surveyor's estimate was at first £400, but he had since reduced it to about -1-350- On the motion of the Mayor, seconded by Mr. Ed. Roberts, Mr. Bugbird's tender was accepted, subject to the loan of the necessary money being obtained. Councillor Morgan asked whether the Council could make Mr. Hartley pay his quota. The Mayor Its very little use of us sitting here unless we can. The Town Clerk thought that the magistrates having decided the road in question to be a street within the meaning of the Act, there was very little doubt that the magistrates would en- force payment of the claim. Alderman Williams: Can something be done in that way before we get into the clutches of the magistrates ? The Mayor Oh, they are very lenient people, are the magistrates. You need not fear getting into their clutches it's the other people who have to fear. THE BOROUGH SURVEYOR'S REPORT. The Borough Surveyor reported that he had carefully surveyed all the yards abutting on the Town Ditch, these being occupied by Mr. Mason and others. He had found that through certain excavations the Town Wall was seriously under- mined, and should be underpinned with masonry. He recommended that the excavations should be stopped at once. In Mr. Mason's case, he (the Borough Surveyor) had stopped further detri- mental proceedings. The Council approved of the Borough Surveyor's action in the matter, and referred it for further consideration to the Estates Committee. THE COWLYD WATER SCHEME. The Borough Surveyor submitted plans of the proposed bridge to carry the Cowlyd waterpipes across the river, and also, as Engineer of the Cowlyd Scheme, submitted plans of the abut- ments connected with tbe proposed bridge. The Mayor, after remarking that the question of abutments was now the chief obstacle in the way of the progress of the Water Scheme, and the Corporation's permission had been asked, in their capacities of Harbour Authority and Bridge Authority, asked the Town Clerk how soon the Inquiry would be held if the abutment plans were passed. The Town Clerk said that it would come very soon, in about fourteen days or so. It was ordered that the floor of the new bridge should be as high above the water as that of the present Tubular Bridge (whose flooring is two feet higher than that of the Suspension Bridge). The Surveyor stated that if that were done at each end, the new bridge would be higher by about two feet in the centre than the Tubular Bridge. The plans were approved. THE SANITARY INSPECTOR'S REPORT. The Sanitary Inspector submitted, with his report, a small tracing showing a portion of the Morfa, fenced out by the L. & N. W. Railway Company. Since his last visit he noticed that the Company's employes had commenced throw- ing over the wall on to the portion fenced. The Town Clerk was directed to notify the Railway Company that the Corporation would be taking down the Corporation's fence, and that the Company's Acts required that the Com- pany should keep their railroad adequately pro- tected from the incursions of cattle. The Vale of Conway Calvinistic Methodist Sunday Schools Annual Examination. The Vale of Conway Calvinistic Methodist Sun- day Schools annual examination took place at the various Chapels of the district on March 31st, 1892; and the papers of competitors in the class over 21 years of age, and in the Class under 21. were sent to the Rev R. H. Morgan, M.A. (Lond.), Presbyterian Minister, Menai Bridge, whose re- marks on both classes will be eagerly read by all. CLASS ABOVE 21. I have lowered 20 marks in the standard of this Class, as the questions I submitted were, I think, too hard for those that competed. This Class ex- cells the Class under 21. It is evident that the

[ SIR,-Since writing you last week I have made a personal canvass of the master-drapers of Conway with reference to the Wednesday half- holiday. The following are the names of the tradespeople who have agreed to ignore the person who has distributed large handbills broad- cast, saying that he will keep his shop open on Wednesdays until eight o'clock (instead of closing at four,-as has been the custom now for some ten years :-The Misses Thomas, High street; Messrs Edward Jones & Son, Stanley Buildings Mr Griffiths, Regent House Mr Evans, London House; and Messrs Fawcett & Co., Manchester House. The above list represents the feeling of Conway on this matter, and the duty of the public is quite plain. During the week there will be issued, by the assistants and apprentices of Conway, an appeal to the householders of Conway to support the above list of names, in recognition of their desire to stand by their employes on this question. Personally I have to thank every one of the above employers for the- kind manner in which they received me, and most of all for their deter- mination to stand by their apprentices. Thanking you in anticipation, I remain, yours sincerely, W. SMITH.

majority of competitors have studied the lessons, and were able to answer in a short and clear style. Seventeen of the competitors die" at- tempt a reply to the whole series ot .ctons, and as many as eleven of them have left three or more questions unanswered. A full reply to every question asked could have been acquired from Dr Thomas's or Dr Edwards's Commentaries and the same reception has been given the opinions of both authors, though, at times, they differed. We expected to find the competitors more acquainted with these books. The absence of a system whilst studying is the chief drawback of this Class, and that is a thing to be learnt. The com- petitors may well take courage, and the teachers carry on their work more thoroughly and faithful.

The first two in the compe- tition have attained 98 out of 110 marks, which is an excellent proportion. The first class answered very well having studied their lessons perfectly, and having understood the essence of the ques- tions the same may be said of the majority in this class also, though it must be admitted that about one-half of the competitors are unsatisfac- torily, and in the absence of merit, it is useless to praise. I have been merciful and free in my marking, but, for all that, fifty per cent of the competitors failed to reach half the maximum. This must be attributed to one of two causes,- the competitor's lack of energy, and this—as a rule,-reflects on the teacher or, that the com- petitor's teacher was unskilful, and perhaps unenergetic also. I write these things not to frigthen anyone, but in the hope that this may be a word in season for inactive teachers, and tend to the strengthening of the weak-kneed.
