ET CAPEL CURIG. THE NEW SCHOOL.—i?he Board of Educa- tion, in London, has sanctioned the plans of the proposed new school premises at Capel Curig. While the new school is being constructed, the present building will be refined, and afterwards the materials of the old building will be utilized for the erection of the boundary walls.

LLYSFEN. THE NATIONAL SCHOOL —At Thursday's meeting of the Carnarvonshire Education Com- mittee, communications wero submitted from the Board of Education calling Attention to the ven- tilating outlet at both departments of this school, the same being unsatisfactory and draughty. It Was resolved that a communi|ation be addressed to the managers informing themithat unless the ven- tilation is put right at ce, the Education Authority will consider the fproposal for ceasing the maintenance of the school LECTURE ON POULTRY-REARING.—On Friday evening of this wee! at the Llysfaen National School, a lecture the Feeding of Poultry will be delivered by Mi j. W. Hopkins-Jones, of the University College, Bangor. The Rector is announced to preside. The lecture is given under the auspices of the County Council.

I CONWAY. LOW DEATH RATE.—The Medical Officer of Health's return for the month of August shows the low death rate of 10.4 per thousand of the population. AN IMPROVEMENT.—With a view to im- proving the lighting of Rose Hill Street, the lamp-post near the Church gate is to be removed to the opposite side of the road. THE RECENT HONEY FAIR.—Despite the excellent work done by Mr. John Hughes, the Librarian, in connection with the recent Honey Fair, the event from a financial point of view, was not a success, there being .a deficiency, after everything had been taken into consideration, of about £10. Indirectly, the town is, of course, understood to have benefitted in a most substan- tial manner. FUTURE CAMPS.—On the recommendation of the Surveyor (Mr. F. A. Delamotte), the Town Council will next year only invite two Brigades of Militia and two Brigades of Volun- teers to camp on the Morfa, in order to give the ground, which is fast becoming very bare, a rest. It is believed that this arrangement will suit the Borough quite as well as any other from a monetary point of view. FUNERAL OF 'MISS LIZZIE DAVIES.We recorded in our last issue the death of Miss Lizzie Davies, of the Bridge Hotel, youngest daughter of the late Mr. Wm. Davies, High Street. The funeral, which was of a private character, took place on Friday. The Rev. John Davies officiated at the Hotel, and after a short service at the Parish Church, at which both the Vicar and. the Rev. John Dalies took part, the body was interred in St. Agnes' Cemetery. The chief mourners were Miss Davies (sister); Rev. W. T. Davies, Rector of Llanfynydd (brother) Mr. Davies, Llangollen (brother); Mr. W. T. Davies, Seacombe, (nephew); Mr. W. Osborne Davies, Penmaenmawr; Mr. William Jon-. Bryni Tudyr; Mr. Thomas Hughes, Taly- ■oonn; anC1 avir. KoDerts, Liwydtaen. Beautiful floral tributes were sent by the de- ceased's sister and two brothers, and also by 'Mrs. Norbury (Erskine Arms- Hotel), Miss Dav- ies (The Crown), Mr. John Goodman Davies and the Misses Davies (of Llanfairfechan). The funeral arrangements were efficiently carried out by Messrs. M. & J. Williams, High Street. SCIENCE LECTURES.—The Town Council is about -to make arrangements, for .a series of lectures, on science subjects, by Mr. W. B. Lowe, M.A., of Llanfairfechan. HARVEST FESTIVAL.—Next Wednesday the special preachers at the Parish Church will be the Rev. J. W. Thomas, Vicar of Holywell, and the Rev. D. Jones, Vicar of Abererch. "BLUES" AT HOME.—Saturday next will see the football season open in earnest at Conway. Colwyn Bay are the visitors, the game being a League encounter. Kick off, 3.15. The follow- ing players will turn out for Conway: —Hobson, Hwfa Williams, Tom Jones, Shem Jones, Bob Owen, Thompson, J. R. Jones, Llew Pritchard, O. Ellis, Llew. Roberts and W. Saunders. It is to be hoped that intending spectators will be sportmanlike enough to bear in mind the diffi- ties under which the local committee are work- ing, in not having a properly enclosed ground, and that they will contribute what in other towns they would be called upon to pay for the! same amount of enjoyment. FUNERAL OF THE LATE MRS. E. HUGHES.—On Friday last, the mortal remains of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Hughes, formerly for forty years at Caer Gron, High-street, but latterly living with her daughter, the widow of the late Alderman Edward Jones, at Cadwern, were in- terred in the family vault in the old Conway Churchyard amid manifestations of sorrow and regret. The funeral was private, those present being Mr John Hughes, Surveyor, Bangor, son; Mr. Richard Owen, Holwyhead, Mr. J. E. Con- way Jones, and Dr. M. J. Morgan, the deceased's medical adviser. The officiating ministers were the Revs. Dr. Hugh Jones, Bangor; F. E. Jones, Colwyn Bay; and O. Madoc Roberts, Tywyn. The bearers were members, of the Tabernacl Welsh Wesleyan, Church, of which the deacesed had been a faithful member. The coffin, which was of polished oak, bore the fol- lowing inscription — "ELIZABETH HUGHES, Died September 26th, 1906, Aged 85 years." The funeral arrangements were carried out by Messrs. M. & J. Williams, High- street. WELCOME.—On. Sunday evening, after the- ordinary service at the Tabernacle Welsh Wes- leyan Chapel, the Rev. Rhys Jones, the new pastor, and Mrs. Jones were welcomed back from their honeymoon, Mr Joseph Jones and others making very felicitous remarks. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were married on the 19th ult., at Gwyddel- wern. Mr. Jones, on behalf of himself and wife, thanked the church for their good wishes. THE RECENT WESLEYAN SALE OF WORK.—The sale of work recently held in the Castle under the auspices of the Welsh Wesley- ans realised1 a clear profit of ^150. SOLD.—We are informed that the business premises and cottages, announced to come under the hammer to-morrow (Friday, the 5th inst.) have been sold, by private treaty, by the auc- tioneer, Mr. Henry Jones, of Liverpool, to Mr. Joseph Williams, the present tenant of the High- street shop. SPECIAL LEVY.-At Thursday's meeting of the Carnarvonshire Education Authority, it was decided to make a special levy upon the Con- way Union amounting to ^726 16s 5d. This charge is divided as follows: -Conway, Cio 6s 6d; Eglwysrhos, Z152 17s 5d; Llandudno £556 gs od Llangwstenin, £7 3S 6d. r 'F- GAN W', HOLIDAY.—Wednesday was observed as a general holiday. Harvest thanksgiving services were held and were well attended, while a num- ber of the residents availed themselves of the special trip to Dublin. CHORAL SOCIETY.—It is understood that the Choral Society will shortly start their prac- tices for the. winter, and it is hoped a good num- ber will join. ILLNESS.—We egret to announce that ex- Councillor John Hughes, of Haughmond, De- ganwy, has been ill during the past few weeks. With his many friends, we wish him a speedy recovery.. PRESENTATION OF A CLOCK.—Council. 1 lor A. G. Rogers has kindly presented the Lib- rary with a clock. His gift was officially ac- knowledged at a Committee meeting of the Cor- poration. De anw Choral Society. To THE EDITOR OF THE Weekly News. Sir,—Rumour is spreading in Deganwy that Mr. Arrowsmith, the clever organist of All Saints' Church, intends to raise a mixed choir in the village, the practices to commence at once in order to be able to enter competitions as early as possible. This, is good news, and no doubt the young people will avail themselves of the privilege of being trained under the baton of such an intelligent and capable musician. When the choir is formed the question of a place to practice in arises. This, is an often dis- cussed problem, and it has been expected that such leaders as Councillors Henry Jones and A. J. Oldman would long ago have solved it. The village is constantly growing, and the need of a Town Hall will ,soon be apparent. Anyhow, for the present there is not much diffi- culty. All rejoice at the idea of Mr. Arrow- smith, and no doubt everybody will do all they can to assist him. There are in the village two buildings available for such practices—the Cal- vinistic Methodist Chapel and the Schools. The former is thought the most suitable. Con- certs, lectures, meetings of all kinds and tea parties are frequently held in it, and I daresay the members will willingly permit Mr. Arrow- smith to "hire" it for the purpose of practising his choir during the winter evenings. All the inhabitants wish success to Mr. Arrowismith's happy undertaking.—Yours, &c., October 1st, 1906. CHORISTER.

u tulNWAY j HARVEST THANKSGIVING.—Special ser- vices of thanksgiving for the ingathering of the harvest were conducted on Thursday, 27th ult., at St. Ffraid's Parish Church. The sacred edi- fice presented a most pleasing appearance, being decorated with flowers, fruit, corn, and veget- ables. The decorators were Mrs. and Miss Rogers Jones, Mrs. Cheetham, Miss Bail, Misses F. & M. Hughes, Mrs. Coates, Mrs. Cattrell, and Miss Lewis. Holy Communion was celebrated at 8.15 and 10 a.m. The afternoon service, which was fully choral, was conducted by the Vicar, the Rev. G. Williams, the special preach- er was the Rev. E. J. Evans, Vicar of Llandrillo- yn-Rhos, who delivered an excellent discourse from St. Matthew vi. 34. The usual harvest hymns were sung by the congregation with much heartiness: The special preacher at the evening service was Canon Roberts, Colwyn Bay. The services throughout were well attended. The offertories will be divided between the Diocesan Societies. —Thanksgiving meetings were held at all the Chapels on Wednesday evening and all day Thursday, and all the meetings were very well attended.

GYFFIN. SOAR WESLEYAN CHAPEL.—Services next Sunday, 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., Mr. Henry Wil'iams, Llandudno.

LLANDUDNO RAILWAY STATION IMPROVEMENTS.— Now that the busy s-eason is over, the Llandudno residents (a correspondent states) are turning their attention again to the question of the approach to the railway station. There is much indignation in the town that the disused lifeboat house should be allowed to still block the way to the station and the view of the station from Augusta-street. This is the street along which the greatest amount of traHlc goes from and to the station, and the inconvenience caused by the ugly superannuated lifeboa t-liouseis serious, and it is rendered the more exasperating by the fact that it is only petty disagreement between the Mostyn Estate and one of their lessees that prevents its removal. However, the railway company are interested in the matter, and the superintendent for Chester and North Wales, Mr W. L. Home, is shortly, it is understood, to meet Mr A. J. Oldman, Secretary of the Town Improvement Association, with a view to arriving at some easy way out of the difficulty. It is to be hoped that at the same interview Mr Home will also be asked to take steps to keep the portion of the station approach in front of the old boat-house clear for the use of the pub ic wishing to enter or leave the station. At present- it i" usually fully occupied by the luggage carts, which compel foot passengers .to walk in the track of vehicles going to or from the station The lug- gage carts allowed to stand at this spot are an undoubted obstruction and cause of danger. Several times in the season now closing accidents to pedestrians thus driven into the way of rapidly driven cabs and motors have been narrowly avoid- ed. It is unnecessary that this obstruction should exist, for there is ample room for the luggage carts on the opposite side of the station entrance. A POPULAR CONDUCTOR.—Llandudno Pavilion on Saturday night had the appearance usually associated with early August rather than the last week in September, every seat being occupied and scores standing in the gangways. The occasion was the last special concert of the season and the night on which Mr. Arthur Payne, the conductor, resigned the baton until next Easter. The vocalists were Miss Ada Crossley and ¡Miss Alice Lister. Mr. Payne, on entering, had an enthusiastic greeting, floral and other tributes being handed up from all parts of the hall until the -latform was massed with blooms. Prior to "Auld Lang Syne" being sung by the audience Mr. Payne said it was no light task to prepare thirteen programmes each week to suit everybody. He had tried and failed. What struck him, however, was that the majority of the requests he received were for high-class music. SEPTEMBER WEATHER.—The weather at Llandudno in September, as indicated by the meteorological data supplied by Mr. W. Little, was exceptionally favourable to those who like —and who do not?—clear skies, bright sun- shine, equable temperature, and gentle breezes. Of bright sunshine there were 217 hours, or 57 hours more than the average for the past eight years. Instead of 2.40m. of rainfall, which is the average for the preceding ten. years, the rain- fall was only three-fourths of an inch—0.71 to be precise. The average temperature was 58.4 degrees. As, might be expected in the transition month, when we leave the summer and enter the winter half of the year, the range of temperature- was greater than usual, amounting to a mean of 14 degrees. The mean force of the wind, was only 2.2 on Beaufort's scale. THE FIELD CLUB.—On Saturday the Club made a geological excursion, under the guidance of Mr. W. Wood, of Long.ton, Staffordshire, to the Great Orme. On the way round the Marine Drive it was pointed out that the gravel used in making the causeway was the washings of the copper ore accumulated on the Orme by the efforts of the Romans. There is a shoot by means of which the gravel is precipitated from the upper part of the headland to the Drive. At the lighthouse the party ascended to the tract of the Orme summit, which is strewn with loose portions of rock. Here, for an area fully half a mile in length, the Orme is peppered with huge and quaintly shaped rocks, whose presence can only be explained by believing that they were de- posited there! by the melting of a glacier, or more probably of several glaciers which met at this point. After tea Mr. Wood showed a collection of interesting fossils. THE CHILDREN IN GREAT ORME DIS- TRICT.—The following appeared in a report submitted to the Carnarvonshire Education Authority on Thursday —The Secretary report- ed that after consultation with Messrs. John Owen and Robert Roberts, a census had been taken of the school population in the Great Orme district, and as a result thereof the Trustees of the Baptist Chapel Schoolroom on the Great Orme had been approached, and they had con- sented to let the premises to the Education Com- mittee for the purposes of a temporary school, at ,Cig per annum. The Board of Education had written on the 14th September that they would not object to the opening of the temporary school at their own risk, before the period re- uired by Section 8 of the Education Act, 1902, had expired, and would be prepared to recog- nise such a school as from the day of opening, provided that no appeal had been made and sus- tained against the Authority's proposal. The Secretary reported that he had publish-ed, the necessary notice under Section 8 of the Educa- tion Act, 1902, and his action was approved. It was also resolved that the Baptist Chapel Schoolroom be rented on the terms mentioned, and that the necessary offices, &c., be provided at once, Messrs. John Owen and Robert Ro- berts being authorised to accept a tender for the necessary work. It was also resolved that all desks and other furniture be provided' in the usual way.

Although the weather was rather unfavourable a. large number was present. The Rev. William Thomas, Frondeg, de- livered an inaugural address, the subject of his discourse being "Esther and Vashti in the Book of Esther," which he very ably dealt with, es- pecially the character of these women. The President, Mr. William Williams, proposed a vote of thanks to the Rev. William Thomas for his excellent address. This was seconded by Mr. Tudor Williams, Waterloo House, and sup- ported by Mr. William Hughes, Gwernfor. The meeting was closed by Mr. O. Evans Jones, Vardre. EVENING.

CHURCH MEN'S SOCIETY.—The opening meeting of the session was held on Monday evening, at the Church House, in the form of a social gathering. Refreshments were provided by the Rector, and were prepared and served by Miss Morgan, Miss Morris, Mrs. Allsup, and Mrs. Hughes. A short programme was gone through, the Rector opening with an appeal to the, members to attend the meetings and explain- ing the objects of the Society. This was follow- ed, by a pianoforte selection by Mr. B. J. Rich; flute solo, Mr. W. J. Rowlands; song, Miss Essie Edwards; humorous reading, Mr. Wat- ling. The meeting closed with the singing of the National Anthem. At the. meeting on Mon- day evening next, Mr. Thomas, of the National Schools, will read a paper on "The origin of the Church in Wales." ACCIDENT.—On Thursday afternoon, two men from Llanrwst, named Thomas Roberts, junr., and John Jones, better known as "John Gwytherin," were driving a number of ponies from Corwen in the direction of Llanrwst. Not far from Cerrigydruidion, they were overtaken by a motor-car, which ran over John Jones, whilst Thomas Roberts, in attempting to save Jones, was also knocked over, as well as one of the ponies. Jones had his collar-bone broken, and was conveyed by another car to Gerrig, where he was medically treated. Roberts es'- caped with a slight .scratch. One of the ponies was badly cut. We are pleased to state that the injured man is progressing favourably towards recovery. PRESENTATION.-On YLUdY last, Miss Hannah Jones, of the National Schools, was presented by the teachers and scholars with a handsome silver-mounted study clock and foun- tain pen on her departure for the University College, where she will undergo a course of normal training.

PREACHING MEETINGS.—The annual preaching meeting in connection with Tabernacle was held on Wednesday evening last and throughout Thursday. The attendance was large, and excellent sermons were listened to. WOMEN'S TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.—The meetings of the above Society are to be com- menced on Friday next, when a short address will be given, as well as other items of interest. NEW BRIGHTON EXCURSION—About 200 persons took advantage of the cheap trip to Liverpool for the New Brighton Eisteddifod, on Saturday last. The crowd was so great that it far exceeded the expectation of the railway auth- orities, with the result that a considerable num- ber had to travel as far as the Junction in the vans. Of this sort of travelling on the outward journey no one complained, but the complaints are bitter and numerous that from the Junction home the same mode of travelling had. to be re- sorted to, and the Railway Company should not forget that even the cheap trippers expect rea- sonable comfort, and not to be huddled together like a flock of sheep for a distance of 12 miles after a stay at the Junction of over an hour, for what purpose no one knows. Perhaps a little attention to these few details will induce more to avail themselves of the trip as well as making the journey a pleasure. EDUCATIONAL.—The Carnarvonshire Educa- tion Authority, at Thursday's meeting, decided to ask the County Council to make a special levy on the Llanrwst Union amounting to £140 9s. 6d., to be contributed by the following parishes :—Bettws- y-coed, £ 2; Capel Curig, £ 2; Maenan, [6 9s. iod.; Abbey, f, i 5s. nd. Trefriw, fl 28 13s. gd.

LLANFAIRFECHAN. SCHOLASTIC.—At Thursday's meeting of the Carnarvonshire Education Authority it was re- ported that the new school at Caersalem had now been opened and that an application had been received from the parents of a large number of infant children applying for admission. It was resolved that the consideration of the application be deferred. It was also resolved that the Educa- tion Committee be recommended to ask thefollow- ing gentlemen to act as managers of Caersalem school until an appointment is made by the Dis- trict Education CommitteeRev. R. Morgan Jones, M.A., Rev. John Griffith, and Mr Robert Hughes, J.P.

I LLANDUDNO JUNCTION. MARRIAGE OF MISS NELLIE ROBERTS. —An interesting wedding took place, last week, at the Calvinistic Methodist Crapel, Talsarnau. The bride was Miss Nellie Jones-Roberts, late of Oakfield, Llandudno Junction, and eldest daughter of Mr. John Robert Roberts, of Cefn Trefor Fawr, Talsarnau. Miss Roberts was united to Mr. William Price, of Light Hall, Shirley, Birmingham. The ceremony was per- formed by the Rev. Elias Jones, of Newtpwn, as- sisted by the Rev. Thomas Lloyd, of Llanberis. Mr. Alfred Towers, of Warwick, was the grooms- man, and the bridesmaids were Miss Eethel Price, sister of the bridegroom, and Miss Lizzie Roberts, the bride's sister. The bride, who loo-ked charming, was married in a dress of ivory silk crepe de chine trimmed with lace and strap- pings of panne velvet. She wore a veil, and a wreath of orange blossoms, and she carried a bouquet of exotics and lilies of the valley. The bridesmaids wore dresses of pale blue eoliennie and white felt hats trimmed with white Nell Gwynne feathers. They carried bouquets of pink rosebuds and wore pearl and turquoise bangles, the gift of the bridegroom. Afterwards a reception was held at Cefn Trefor, attended by upwards of 5° guests, who were received in a marquee erected for the occasion. The happy couple left later for Devonshire, where the honeymoon will be spent in the country of John Ridd and Lorna Doone. Numerous and costly presents were received. THE CHOIR.—The members of the Junction Choir are about to commence their rehearsals again, under the conductorship of Mr. J. R. Hughes. One of the pieces selected for rehears- al is Dr. Parry's "Sailors' Chorus." The Chofr intend competing at the Eisteddfod on Christmas Day at Conway, and at the New Year's Day Eis- teddfod at Colwyn Bay. Those desirous of join- ing are invited to communicate with -the Hon. Secretary or other officials. WORKMEN'S MEETING.—On Saturday ev- ening a meeting was held in the Mission Room by a few of the working men in the place as a protest against the employment of people from a distance on a local contract for the County Council, when they allege there are plenty of local men to be had. There was only a small attendance, and very little business, if any, re- sulted.

LLANGERNIEW. I-ECTURE.-At the C.M. Chapel, on Monday night, a lecture was delivered by the Rev. Gomer Lewis, D.D., Baptist minister, of Swansea. The subject was A tour through America," and the lecturer dwelt upon it in a most fascinating and realistic manner. His sayings were full of pungent humour and witticism, interspersed with pathos and fine descriptive poetry. In spite of the unfavourable condition of the weather, a numerous congregation had assembled. The pro- ceeds went to aid the Llangerniew Baptist Church.

OLD COLWYN. THE VICAR.—We regret to state that the Vicar, the Rev. John Griffiths, is seriously in- disposed as the result of a chill. It is hoped that he will make rapid progress towards re- covery. A WOMAN AND DRINK.—A delicate looking woman, named Ellen Williams, Pensarn, Abergele, was summoned at the Police Court, on Saturday for being drunk on September 15th. P.C. Owen stated that on the evening in question he was sent for by the railway authorities to remove the defendent from the station platform. When he arrived, however, he found that she had been moved into the roadway. She was unconscious through drink, and it was several hours before she came round. The defendant explained that she was overcarried by the train, and she had drunk from a bottle of whisky, which another woman had in the station waiting-room. She asked the constable why he kept her 151 hours in the lock- D 2 up without a cup of tea. He replied that at one o'clock in the morning he. asked her if she wanted anything, and she said she was too bad to take anything. I liuriiblv beg your pardorj," said the defendant, but it was very wrong of you to keep me 15I hours without a cup of tea. I was 2 very ill." A fine of 2s. 6d. was inflicted, the de- fendant being allowed time to pay.

PENMAENMAWR. F. Co. 3RD V.B. R.W.F.—The annual shooting competitions in connection with the above com- pany were held on Graiglwyd Range, on Saturdays, 22nd and 29th September, Col. Darbishire, Capt. Jenkins and Lieut. H. W. Darbishire being present. There was a larger number of competitions than was the case last year. Col. Darbishire, with his usual hospitality, provided tea and refreshments on both dates, in the pavilion on the range, which was much appreciated by all present. The full scores and names of prize-winners will be pub- lished later, when the annual dinner and prize distribution take place. An open competition was held last Saturday, in connection with the above shoot, when 31 entered, this number including several local civilian gentlemen.
