LAWN TENNIS AT RHYL. The Tournament of the Rhyl Lawn Tennis Club took place on the club ground at the Summer Gardens, on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Satuaday of last week, and was most successful, both on account of the close contests that occurred, and the high class play exhibition. Players for the open events entered from London, Cheltenham, Portsmouth, Liverpool, the Midlands, St. Asaph, Pensarn,. &c. Both the principal prizes were won by members of the Pensarn Club. That for Ladies Singles, a gold and pearl bracelet, value jE3 3s Od: being won by Miss Henstock, after a fine contest in the last round with Miss Adams. Miss Adams was doubtless handicapped in her play by having been at a dance the previous night, dancing having been kept up until 3 a.m. on the day the final round for this prize was played. Miss Henstock on the other hand was quite fresh. Her play was much admired, being very neat and in good style, and she was doubtless the finer player of the two. The prize for Gentlemen's Singles, a silver cup, value JE5 5s Od, was won by Mr Wynne after some fine play in the final round with Mr Crossley. Mr Wynne is a well known player at the Pensarn Club, where if anywhere tennis should be played to perfection, for at Pensarn tennis is the principle object of existence, being played from early morn to dewy eve. The scores and winners of the other events will be found 'below. The Club has had a most successful season, and the number of members, visitors and residents unexpectedly large, thanks principally to the energy of the Hon. Sec. (Mr Potts), to whom the Committee are indebted. The members of the Committee, Dr. Carstairs, Messrs Downing, Hartley, Potts and Dr. Summer. hill (chairman) were im attendance at different times on the ground during the progress of the tournament, but the great bulk of the work of management devolved on Dr. Summerhill and the Hon. Sec. (Mr Potts.) It is hoped the success of the Club, and of the Tournament will give impetus to the scheme for having a permanent Tennis Club in Rbyl, with a ground of its own. The final results were as follows :— OPEN FVENTS. Gentlemen's Singles—Mr L. Wynne beat Mr Crossley, 7-5, 10.8, 6-3. Ladies' Singles Miss Henstock beat Miss Adams, 6-4, 6-C, 10-8. Mixed Doubles Mr L. Wynne and Miss Henstock beat Mr Adams and Miss Walmsley 6-0, €-3- tt Gentlemen's Doubles.—Messrs Wynn and Hen- ttock beat Messrs H. J. and R, W. Glennie, 1.5, 7.9, 6.1. CLOSE EVENTS. Gentlemen's Singles—Mr P. Williams, (receiving 15) beat Mr Felton, 6-1, 6-1. Ladies Singles Miss G. Walmsley beat Miss Watkin Williams 6-4, 6-4. Gentlemen's Doubles Mr H. J. Glennie and Mr Felton (15) beat Mr A. Potts and Mr Pryce Morris, 5.6, 6.4, 6.4. In all except the two first events second prizes were given, and which were won by the seconds in the finals as are mentioned above.

JOTTINGS. If Rhyl is to be favoured with the permission to hold the National Eisteddfod of 1892, it is to be hoped that the project will be heartily supported by all classes, not only by those who believe in the good accomplished by this National Institution, but also by those who take no interest whatever in literature, music and art, but who are desirous to promote the prosperity of the town, and which would certainly be enhanced by the holding of Eisteddfodic gatherings at the place. The list of guarantors is fairly representative of both these classes. Some progress has been made with the preparation of a list of subjects, and it is pleasing to find that the meeting on Monday postponed the selection of a subject for the chief essay. It is to be hoped that something more serviceable than the hackneyed and common place "Protestant Reformation" will be uitimately selected. Flintshire and its Castles has been named as a suitable subject, and a history of that kind would be most entertaining and useful. Two Brewsters' Sessions have been already held in the vicinity of this town, and the police report I at each must be considered as being satisfactory. At Prestatyn Mr Superintendent Hughes said that there had been no publicans convicted during the, 3ear, and that convictions for drunkenness among the general public were only two in number, and that out of a population amounting to several thou. sands. At St. Asaph the record was not quite so clean but even there a decrease of one in the number of cases for drunkenness had taken place, which alto- gether were only just a fraction above one a month in number, out of a population of 3747. There are thirty licensed houses in that division, and they had all been well conducted during the year. In accordance with a recent mandate of the County Council, it appears that public-houses in Flintshire, if the magistrates will agree with the expressed ideas of the Councillors, are likely to be diminished in number. The crusade is directed against houses at present tenantless. The fact of their being unoccupied is taken on presumptive evidence that they are not required. Two such houses, the Crown and Miner's [Arms, were men- tioned at Prestatyn Licensing Session, and the merits of their cases will be argued at the Adjourned Sessions. That the justices will not apply hard and fast rules to these cases we are confident. There may be reasons for the temporary closing of a house of great convenience other than I the want of custom, and we are not convinced that the monopolizing of the drink custom by a few houses in a town, and the congregating of persons in large numbers in drinking places is more likely to secure obedience to the laws than would be the case if those persons were to meet together in smaller bodies in a greater number of public-houses. It was not without reason that several members made complaints at the Commissioners' meeting on Monday of the slow progress of the work of erecting the shelters on the foreshore. It is now three weeks since the contract was given and it was then stipulated that the work was to be ompleted within a month. Indeed the fact that they required two months to complete the job was one of the main reasons why it was not let to a local firm. We know nothing about the con- tractor's preparedness to commence operations on the ground, but it is very clear that the Board's portion of the work has taken too much time in its construction. The Commissioners did not exhibit themselves in a favourable light as builders in connection with work cariied out shortly before the shelters were undertaken. Having had to spend a few hundred pounds over and above the estimate of their Surveyor and the tender of a Contractor, at the West Promenade Extension, one would have thought that at lany rate in the immediate future it would be the wiser course for them to let their work to men accustomed and able to dabble in bricks and mortar.

DIOCESAN CONFERENCE. The St. Asaph Diocesan Conference was opened at Oswestry yesterday (Thursday). The Bishop in his inaugural address referred to the Intermediate Education Act, and said that the measure of generosity in the matter of voluntary funds would depend upon the spirit in which the Act is carried out. If fairness and on- cilation were shewn funds would not be lacking but IChurchmen would insist upon their right to have religious teaching recognized. THE TITHE QUESTION. The Standing Committee reported on the tithe question and a discussion ensued, in the course of which Mr Stanley Leighton moved a resolu- tion expressing rpgret at the Government's inability to pass the tithe bill. Canon Howell Evans, the vicar of Rhyl, in seconding the motion, said it was difficult to ex- press the indignation he felt at the way in which the Government had dealt with this measure. He was convinced there was nothing which had done so much injury throughout the country as the want of straightforward and manly courage which they had shown in this matter. It would have been far better to have left the subject untouched altogether than to have put it in the forefront of the Queen's Speech, and then, after bringing in a bill which was carried on the second reading by such an enormons majority, to let it drop altogether. The were clergymen in isolated parsonages in the country who did not know which way to turn for money to feed and clothe their families because they were denied the payment of their just and lawful dues. They could see some. thing of the difficulties of the Government. It was not easy, perhaps, to control all their fol- lowers, but if they had only considered what was just, and honest, and upright, and maintained a manly effort to pass the bill, they would have carried it through the House of Commons by a large majority. The Bishop of St. Asaph said that what they were seeking to enforoe, as Archdeacon Howell had said, was an elementary law in every civi- liced community, and he (the biothop) was abso- lutely amazed that anyone should venture to de- fend travesties of the most holy rites of religion. In a parish of that diocese a number of anti-tithe agitators, not all of them parishioners, had con- gregated togother and burnt an effigy robed in the white of the clergyman, and the people who were deacons of Methodist chapels went so far as to minister the holy lite to the effigy (" Shame "). When such things as this was done, he did not know how people could stand up and tell them that this agitation was a moral one, and was going to do good to everybodyin Wales. The motion was carried unanimously, and the remainder of the proceedings were devoted to the consideration of committees' reports. THE BISOHP'S STAFF. The Pastoral Staff of the Bishop, subscribed for by a large number of clergy and laity, was presented after luncheon,. the presentation being made by the Earl of Powis. The following is a description of the staff :-The Pastoral Staff presented to the Bishop of St Asaph is of a very rich" design, and of exquisite workmanship. The total height from top of crochets to the pointed ferrule is over 6 feet. It unscrews into four pieces, the crook and tower forming one, the shaft the remaining three. The crook is of silver, with rich diaper work in panels, and is set with 9 precious stones on either side between the panel work. It is enriched with seven crochets of enamelled and jewelled leeks—the Welsh National Emblem. In the centre of the crook is an exquisitely modelled group, parcel gilt, The commission of S. Peter," in which also appear the typical flock of lambs, the whole group being partially surrounded by foliage, and enamelled. The Tower," from which springs the crook, is surmounted by the figure of a saint at either corner. These being S. Melangell, S. Ffraid, S. Winifred, and S. Eurgain. It is itself composed of two tiers of saints. Six being in either tier, in gilt niches, surmounted by most delicate canopy work in silver gilt. The six saints in the lower tier are S. Cyndeyrn—the founder of the See- S. Asaph his successor; S. Tysilio, S. Deiniol, S. Garmon, and S. Dewi. Those in the upper being S. Tyssul, S. Sadwrn, S. Darfel-Gadarn, S. Beuno, S. Cadvan, and S. Silin. Each saint has his name on a label at his feet, and is accompanied by his emblem. The sixteen saints are in some way connected with the diocese, having founded Churches or religious institutions, and their names to this day occur in those of many parishes. The knob supporting the tower is of enamelled foliage work, and has a row of precious stones peep- ing out under the base of the tower. Below the knop are arranged the arms of the See, surmount- ed by a mitre, enamelled in the proper heraldic colours, and diagonally around is an inscription in Welsh, stating that the Pastoral Staff is "pre sented to Alfred George, Bishop of St, Asaph, in the first year of his episcopate, 1890, and his successors in the See." A wreath of precious stones forms a beautiful termination to the part containing the arms and inscription. The shaft is of a diaper work parcel gilt, and the bosses where it unscrews and the ferrule are of gilt. The total amount of precious stones employed is 89. The Staff is from a design by Mr J. D. Sedding of London, and the work has been most admirably carried out by Messrs Barkentin and Krall, of Regent Street. With the Staff is presented to the Bishop a book containing the names of all subscribers, also of those who presented specific portions of the Staff, with precious stones, etc. The central group, also the figure of S. Winifred, are the gifts of Mrs Bamford Hesketh. S. Cyndeyrn, given by Mrs Townshend Main- waring. S. Asaph, collected for by the Misses Hughes, of Ystrad. n S. Tysilio, collected for by Miss Tottenham. S. Deiniol, given by the Right Hon. W. E. and Mrs Gladstone. S. Garmon, given by Mrs Luxmore. S. Dewi, given by Lady Trevor. S. Tyssul, given by Mrs Henry Ffonlkes. S, Sadwrn, given by Judge Wynne Ffoulkes. S. Ffraid, given by Mr I4oyd, of Berth. The jewels were given by Mrs P H Hutpberstoc, Mrs and Miss Luxmore, Miss Tumour. Mrs Mesham, Mrs and Miss G Hughes, of Ystrad; the Hon. Mrs Bulkeley Owen, Miss Conran, Mr Lowe, of Chester; etc., etc.

BAJNGOll NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD. Special Report. The National Eisteddfod Association held its meeting at the University College at 6.30 p m. on Thureday. Sir John Puleston presided, and there was a large attendance of prominent men. including the Lord Bishop of Bangor, the ven- erable Archdruid Olwydfardd, Hwfa Mon, Dewi Mon, Dewi Ogwen, Rev. Dr. Herber Evans, the Mayor of Carnarvon,Pedr Mostyv, Gwyneddon, &o. The application of Rhyl for the Eisteddfod of 11892 was one of the subjects on the agenda. Mr P. M. Williams introduced the deputation, and after reading the memorial, which we published last week, the Town Clerk was called upon by the Prosident to address the meeting on behalf of the deputation from Rhyl.—Mr Rowlands said that they were glad to be able to offer a most hearty and cordial reception to the Eisteddfod of 1892, at Rbyl. They understood that no other application had been sent in from any town in North Wales. That was a consolation, and prevented much anxiety which otherwise might have possessed their minds as to the nature of the verdict the Association would arrive at. Still, they wished all the world to know (as it would know through the record of that splendid Eisteddfod at Bangor) that Rhyl was not un- worthy of receiving the National Institution of Wales, and it should be received in places where it would not suffer from the want of dignity or stateliness—(applause.) It was true that Rhyl had no aooieut history, but it was form- ing a very important history, and no doubt a great name was in store for it. Even in its infancy, scarcely 50 years ago, it could boast of the loving presence of leuan Glan Oeirionydd —(cheers.) He was, he believed, the first rector or vicar of Rhyl, and a man who had done as much as any other Welshman ia any age or generation ever did to immortalize the fair fame of hia country-(applause.) In conclusion Air Rowlands ppoke in Welsh, referring to the fact that Rhyl stood in view of the old Castle of Rbuddlan, where a most magnificent Royal Eisteddfod had been held just 40 years past, in September, 1850, and the Association and all Wales might rest assured that there would bo no cause for regret for hold- ing the festival of 1892 at Rhyl. (Applause). The President remarked that other towns were aspiring for the Eisteddfod of 1892,but seeing that Rhyl had entered its claim at Wrex- ham and renewed it this year, with so much zeal, all agreed that Rhyl shoald have precedence (cheers). A formal resolution to hold the EistEddlod at Rhyl in 1892 was then passed with much en- thusiasm. The other members of the deputa- tion present were Messrs. W. Williams, R. Jours, B. D. Roberts, D. Trebearn, and Rev.S. T.Jones. The Archdruid Clwydfardd (now in his ninetieth year) said he had great pleasure in expressing the hearty congratulations of the National Eisteddfod Association upon the great warmth shewn by Rhyl and district, which was specially proved by the fact that the secretary, Mr John Arthur Evans, had deposited a guarantee bond signed by one hundred and thirty seven gentlemen for five pounds each.

TRUE AND FALSE ECONOMY. CAN I AFFORD IT P-Many people mistake a false for a true economy. Good economy takes care ot the pence, letting the pounds take care of themselves bad economy is a penny wise and round foolish." True economy is careful to make the stitch in time, which saves nine false economy risks the loss of a valuable horse for the want of a nail in a horse shoe, or the loss of a fine ship for the want of a pennyworth of tar. In all matters of economy the test question should be, Can I afford it?" For instanoe, when suffering from any slight ailment, ask yourself: Can I afford to let this slight cold or little cough develope into asthma, chronic Jbroncbitis, or consumption ? Can I afford to let the little want of appetite deepen into indigestion, flatulence, or dyspepsia ? Oiln I afford to let this out of sorts feeling which I Buffer from occasionally to settle into a con- firmed melancholy ? Can I afford to let my wife grow weaker day by day under household burdens, or my child, who is now only a little delicate, run the risk of being obliged to succumb entirely, or can I myself afford to run the risk of breaking down entirely, and giving up my work, all for the want of a little resolution? When you are told that the excel- lent preparation known as Gwilym Evans's Quioine Bitters, which is acknowledged to be the beat tonic remedy ever discovered, would enable you to avoid all these dangers, the question shouid not be Can I afford to get it ? but Can I afford to he without it?" In most cases common-sense will tell you that you CANNOT afford to be without it, that you CANNOT afford to run the risk you are now running, while so valuable a remedy as Gwilym Evans' Quinine Bitters is at hand. Each tablespoon- ful of this preparation contains a lull dose of Quinine and a suitable quantity of the active principles of the following well-known medcal herbs Sarsaparilla, Gentian, Burdock, Saffron, Lavender, and Dandelion, combined in most happy proportions, and concentrated in a pure s ate, as well as being scientifically prepared to be suitable to all ages at all seasons of the year. ftid foming a Tonic Bitters positively unequalled. The chief medical men in our own and foreign countries are unanimous in recommending Quinine as a safe and oertain restorative in seasons of prostration of their patients after suffering severe attacks of 1ever and other maladies. Hundreds of Testimonials certifying to their virtue and efficacy are yearly received from all parts of the world. Ac this season of the year no one shouli-I be without GWILYM EVANS' QUINJCNE RtTTERS. A coure takeu I now will be available in giving tone to the new life to the blood, end in braoing the nemfl. ccrCAUTION.-Ask plainly for Gwilym Evansy Quinine Bitters, and see that the name Qwilym, Evans if on the labnl, stamp, and bottle.

This (Friday) evening" My Sweetheart" will be revived, for the last time this summer, being the occasion of a benefit to Tina" (Miss Edie Casson), and when it is expected the many admirers of her charming acting will be present in strong force.

DEATH OF ANDREW JONES.—Few faces were more familiar to the residents of this town and visitors to it than that of "Andro'r Cnau" (Andrew the Nutman), as he was commonly called, his vocation for many years being to sell nuts and oranges in the streets at Rhyl. Some fifteen or more years ago he was allowed to pitch his barrow permanently close to a gas-lamp in Bodfor street, opposite the Bee Hotel, and attending this stand he could be observed in all weather. 0 He was somewhat deformed in hands and feet, and was as such the object of pity to many. Customers were in consequence all the more ready to patronize his stall. Andrew Jones was a native of Llanidloes, and was a married man, having by now several grown-up children. His wife, however, had lived apart from him, in Manchester, for many years. He was a well-informed man, and could hold his own in the many arguments into which he had opportunities of entering. His dinner and other meals were supplied gratis by the past and present landlords of tne Bee; and as Jones was of a frugal disposi- tion he was able to mass a by no means small fortune. Of late years he dealt somewhat extensively in money-lending, as was disclosed by various actions against defaulters which he enter- ed from time to time in the County Court. As this branch of his business extended, that of nut selling was less attended to. The illness, which terminated fatally on Saturday, had been of only a few days' duration. A reconciliation was effected with Mrs Jones, to whom everything was left absolutely. Deceased was 51 years old, and was buried at Rhyl on Monday, the will, which rep- resented property of the value of about a thousand pounds, being proved on Tuesday. p ou,n r, STEAD AND SIMPSON, LIMITED, 71, High Street, are showing a large variety of Evening and Dress Shoes.
