SATURDAY EVENING FREE CONCERTS FOR MEN.—The second of the ,series of free concerts for men was held on Saturday, a-i-the Rooms of the Young Men's Christian Associa- tion. Mr. Isaac Leach prersided. The attend- ance was encouraging, and the young fellows who responded to the invitation to come- in and spend a pleasant hour apparently thoroughly p 11 enjoyed the programme..Miss L. Taylor, Mr. J. E. Williams, and Mr. A. Cole each gave a solo Miss Scott, a recitation-; Mr. L. Thomas, a .splendid performance with the bones. The General Secretary entertained the gathering with a few yarns; and Mr. Summers presided at the piamo. Thelsle concerts, are arranged with the idea of providing some, occupation and en- joyment for the youg fellows who have no de- finite means of spending their Saturday even- ings, and the effort on the part of some of the younger members of the Association to help their fellows should certainly be encouraged. MEN'S AIE,ETING.-The large Reading Room of the Young Men's Christian Association was crowded on Sunday afternon, on the occa- sion of the .second of the men's meetings. The Committele of the Association after careful con; sideriatjion decided, somlel rfortnighit isinjcet, Ito, throw the Roomis apeni on Sunday afternoons, in order that men who were not in the habit of attending any school or service might have the opportunity of meeting, ifroim 3.15 to 4.15. It was evidently a move in the right direction, the response to the invitations having been most en- couraging. The President of the men's meelt- ings, Mr. C. E. Elcock, wa,s in the chair on Sunday; the meeting was opened with very hearty singing, and Mrs. Elcock charmed the gathering by her rendering of the so-lo, "The Lord is: mindful of -His own." M,r. J. J. Austin gave a powerful address on "Manliness," and was heartiily applauded at the close. A large body of members of the Old Colwyn Brother- hood swelled the numbers, of those already gathered. They had marched over in oxider to mark their appreciation at the starting of these meetings for men, and to wish the movement every success. The total attendance was fifty- three, and each one of these fifty-three men evidently appreciated the opportunity of meeting his fellows. Mr. Newton was present as accom- panist., and the desire was expressed by many that he should accept the office as a permancy.

Mr Simon Williams, who was a partner in the firm of Messrs W. S. & S. Williams from 1894 until 1905, when he acquired the business on his own account, is acknowledged to be a keen and progressive man of business, and the spacious premises at the Compton have had to be enlarged no fewer than three times in order to meet the requirements of his ever-increasing trade. A STORMY NIGHT.—A high wind blew on Tuesday night, and left many marks of its power. Sheets of lead on a building in course of erection were curled over off the roof as so much paper.

Gwynedd Roberts and the Rev. William Jones.

He also suggests, that with ,so many buildings and other things of historical interest .something more should be done in the wa" of advertising the place in the various large towns. THE TOWN CLOCK.-Ilt will be remembered that some time ago -the handsome clock on the Church Tower, was thrown out- of order by the .snapping of one of the wires upoin which the huge weights, necessary to the working of the clock are suspended. This mass of iron, which is about four hundredweight, fell from the top of the Tower to the ground, and owing to. its weight and the force with which i/t fell, almost buried itself. During the week the work of re- hanging the weight and the fixing of fresh wires to the other three has been in progress, and it will be completed in a few days. It is not generally known that ithe cloek itself was a gift to Conway by the late. Lord Penrhyn, and al- though built on the Church Tower is the pro- perty of the burgesses.

GLAN CONWAY. INDISPOSITION.—The many friends of Mr. William Roberts, Capel Moriah, will regret to learn that he lies seriously ill at his residence. SQUALLS !-Quite a small hurricane of wind was experienced at Glan Con way on Tuesday evening:, when many hats were blown away, and one passenger at the railway station had a nar- row escape of his hat being crushed under the engine. Of course, the station was brilliantly illuminated at the time, and the rural postman was as helpful as ever in rescuing the hat. CHURCH SOCIAL.—The first of an intended series of social gatherings in connection with the Parish Church of St. Ffraid, was held on Thurs- day evening in the Schoolroom, and was a great success. There was a capital attendance, and the proceedings were of a very pleasing and en- joyable kind. The Rector, the Rev. Griffith Wil- liams, occupied the chair. Amongst those who contibuted to the vocal portion of the evening entertainment were Miss Ellison, Mr Tom Carrol, Miss Jones and Mr David Williams, THE D. R. DAVIES CHARITY.—A corres- pondent again writes :—I am more than surprised that no reply has been sent to my criticism of the doings of the trustees of the D. R. Davies Charity, which were made in your issue a fortnight ago, and the least that can be said is that if their conduct had been just they would have attempted to vindictate their action. That not one can champion the cause of righteousness in dealing with the trust in the whole of Glan Conway speaks volumes of the truth of the scriptural injunction Do unto others as you would others should do unto you.' I hope the consciences of those trustees who denied the two venerable pensioners what I call their right are satisfied with themselves."

LLANDUDNO JUNCTION. I ANOTHER GOOD FRIDAY EISTEDDFOD. —The members of the Welsh Con.greg,altional I Church decided on Sunday afternoon to have another Eisteddfod on Good Friday, and it is hoped to have a capital syllabus out by Christ- mas. Mr. Hugh Owen,, Isfryn, is the Chairman of the Committee, and Messrs. David Jones and Richard Parry, the Hon. Secretaries. THE RATEPAYERS' ASSOCIATION.—A special ,committee meeting of the Llandudno Junction Ratepayems" Association will be heLd on Monday evening next, when important mat. ters will be discussed affecting the interests of the place WEDDING.—Last week the wedding of Miss M. C. Roberts, daughter of Mr. Richard Ro- berts, of Oswald-road, Llandudno Junction, with Mr. Robert Jones Roberts, 15, Oswald- road, took place at the Pensarn C. M. Chapel. The former pastor, the Rev. J. D. Owen, journeyred from Bodf.ari to perform, the cere- mony. Mr. Richard H. Roberts (brother of the bride) was- best man, a/nd Miss. M. E. Roberts, Widnes (cousin, of the bride), was the brides- maid. The happy couple were the recipients of many presenitrs, and spent the honeymoon at F estiniog. THE NEW METHODIST CAUSE.—It is understood that successful negotiations have been made for the acquisition of land for the erection of a new chapel at the top end of Broad- street, opposite the We)sh Congregational Church. THE WESLEYANS.—Last week, the Welsh Wesleyans held a series of very helpful preach- ing meetings in Preswylfa, the capacity of the chapel being none to great. Each gathering was crowded. IMPRESSIVE PREACHING. The Welsh Baptists of Horeb Chapel have had a three nights session of most powerful preaching. On Monday evening, at seven o'clock, the Rev T. Shankland, of Bangor, preached a remarkably fine sermon on the so-called New Theology, during which he denounced with earnest vehemence the propaga- tion ol such a teaching. It should be buried for ever, and no gravestone erected to perpetuate its memory. On Tuesday evening, the Revs. Owen R. Owen, of Windsor-street, Liverpool, and Aaron Morgan preached very powerful sermons, and yesterday (Wednesday), at two o'clock and half-past six, the same two eloquent divines delivered telling and profound sermons, bringing the services to a close. Much regret was felt when it became known that the Rev. E. T. Jones, of Llanelly, who had been advertised to preach, was unable to be present through indisposition. THE LIGHTING OF THE PLACE.-Thts is a question that has often been referred to, and which has evidently fallen on deaf ears. What- ever complaints there are, the lighting of Llan- dudno Junction needs a lot of amendment. It is a great centre of traffic, and a cyclist was heard to rejoice the other day over the fact that there was an additional small light in the vicinity of Pensarn. Now it is to be hoped that the rate- payers will be considered with a little more light,

A MINISTER IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT.—Mr. Registrar Glynne Jones sat till a late hour at the Bangor Bankruptcy Court on Thursday in order to complete the list, but even so 'OnoJ the cases had to be adjourned to an. other date. The Rev. John Thomas, of Llan- dudno, described as a minister of the Gospel, but not now in charge -of a church, came up for public examination by Mr. Tobias, the depu- ty Official Receiver. The debtor said that he was 70 years of age, and that he had lived in York-road, Llandudno, since 1905. Before that he had lived at Colwyn Bay, and previously at Wrexham an-d Liscard. The only assets were stated to be a watch and chain, a desk, and am annuciJty of ^20 a year, the capital value of which was estimated at £7°.

He had only one creditor, whose claim was for Ci5q, the amount of the judgment debt and costs. He was now living with his daugh- ters. The examination was concluded. THE AMATEUR DRAMATIC SOCIETY.— The Society are keeping up their reputation as one of the best Amateur Dramatic Societies in Wales-, and is was small wonder to see the com- modious and comfortable Grand Theatre, on Wednesday evening last filled with a delighted and critical audience. The animation around and in the theatre was reminiscent of summer time at the Grand, and those who were present voted the performance of Pinero's fantastic comedy, "In Chanoery," as one of the very best in the Society's repertoire. The staging of the piece was splendid, as it always is under the direction of that stage craftsman, MT. C. A. Hutton. The performance of the amusing piece was of a high order, and fir the rnonce one for- got that amateurs occupied the stage, so realis- tic and natu-ral was the production,. The mem- bers who took part, were Messrs. Arthur Dun- phy, A. C. Slater, H. Parker, S. Hewitt, jun., C. N. Daivies, H. Haworth, and F. W. Wil- liams, the Misses J Haworth, M. WT-ard, N. Mar- getts, G. Haworth, and Mrs. Hutton. A vote of thanks to the Society was proposed by G. H. Fitzsimmons., and responded to by Mr. Hut- ton, who said he hoped that the Society's bold step of transferring their performances to the Grand Theatre would be appreciated by their patrons. The proceeds, amounting to ;c25, will be given to the Nursing Association.
