Views of North Wales etc., were mos thrown on the canvass, the lantern being ably mani?ulated b\ Master Jeffs. The dissolving-views entertainment was inter- spersed with music, the pianoforte being under the able fingers of Mr D. Hughes, Rhos. Master Roberts, in the absence of his father, ably presided, and everyone seemed pleased with the entertainment. A WET BANK-HOLIDAY.—To the profound disappointment of all sections of pleasure-seekers the Whitsuntide Banl- Holiday was celebrated under conditions the reverse of favour- able as regarded the weather. Even the critical foreigner, be he gay-hearted Gaul or phlegmatic Teuton, might well have allowed excuses for taking pleasures rather sadly on the Whit-Monday of 1894. The whole British nation is not com- posed of Mark Tapleys, and hence a little wholesome grumbling was only pardonable under circumstances which rendered outdoor enjoyment a practical impossibility. To realise fully the popular chagrin upon this point, one must needs remember that by the toiling masses of our countrymen every Bank-Holiday is regarded, not merely as a welcome intermission from ordinary labours, but as a day into which the maximum amount of sight-seeing and enjoyment is to be compressed. And it is manifestlv impossible even for the hardy tripper to rise to his ideal of enjoyment amid a drench- in, ,,? and almost coiitintiou,? downpour of rain more suitable to mid-winter than to the merry month of May. Such was the hopelessly disagreeably condition of things experienced within a radius of many miles of Colwyn Bay during the greater part of Monday. The heavy rain of Whit-Sunday had afforded a dismal forecast of what might be expected later, and this anticipation was in no sense belied, as during the early hours of Bank-Holiday, at a time when many thousands of people were being whirled to North Wales from Hull, Huddersfield, and distant parts of the country, the pitiless downpour continued. A ray of hope was indulged in as the weather partially cleared towards mid-day, but it was doomed to be early nipped in the bud. and when the rain once more resumed it put an end to all chance of a bright termination toa day so inauspiciously begun. — The Liverpool Daily Post, after a few remarks upon the aspect of affairs at Llandudno and Bangor, said ;—" Colwyn Bay and Colwvn presented the same miserable spectacle of" drenched excuršionists, and it is no wonder that at all the places named a great number were under the influence of drink. Everybody must have been glad when the tedious day ended." A CONCERT AT NANT MEIFOD.—A concert was held at Nant M?ifod Chapel, on Tuesday e,,eni?ig, 1\la-,7 1,?th, at 7 o'clock, %hen the chair was taken by )lr Will. Rol?erts, Cvsteny? Villa, Col\v-n Bay. ii,lio called upon the accolli- pa?i-t, Miss Nellie Llo-d, ColwN-n, to play a pianoforte ,olo, ivhich consisted of Welsh melodies, capitally played.

Davies and Hugh Wil- liams, the audience were treated with a fine rendering of the duett, "Gwysi'r gad." Mr John Conway gave a spirited version of" Galwad y Tywysog," and was warmly applauded. Mr Hugh Williams gave, in martial style, fionour and arms." Miss Jennie Davies and Master Owen Davies sana- very expressively the duett Don't fret," the next song being Llanelian," by Eos Lletty'r Dryw. Miss Mattie Lloyd sang Llwyn Onn" most sweetly Mr Ed. Davies then sang "The Tournament," with military bearing. The next item was the adjudication on the letters sent in these were six in number, and, some being read by the adjudicator, caused much hilaritythe one that caused the most merriment being the production of Mr R. Llew Samuel, who was awarded the prize, but kindly returned it. Mr R. Llew Samuel then gave a very effective rendering of the descriptive solo "The Niagara," and was warmly applauded. The song Coi-mi-nai-ro" having been given by Eos Lletty'r Dryw, and having been much appreciated. Miss Jennie Davies gave a sweet rendition of Love at home." Mr W. Brookes Jones obtained the prize for the best rendering of a solo with words at first sight, and returned it. Mr John Conway again favoured the audience with "Y Rhyfel Farch." Mr Hugh Williams gave "Chwifio'r Faner" and Messrs Davies and Conway gave a rendering of the duett "0 gartref yr ervr," and were applauded, The French national air, "La Marsellaisse," having been given, Mr R. L1. Samuel led the singing of the Welsh National Anthem, the audience joining.—This was the second concert this season, and was fairly representative. The proceeds go towards liquidating the debt, which has been reduced during the past month to £2 15s, and, as the friends are anxious to give the debt (now but a small amount) the final blow, in order to be clear, whoever has a wish to help, can kindly send donations to the Secretary, Mr W. Lloyd Evans, 13, Rhiw Bank Terrace.—The proceeds of the concert amounted to over £12.
