Meliden Church Pulpit. TO THE EDITOR OF THE RHYL JOURNAL. "AR SIR,-On the faith of the first letter, as 0.3 this second, being exclusively peace pro- .ucinu letters, you have, on that ground, kindly promised to admit them into your columns. At the same time you have very rightly and strongly ea arij, attempt or any tendency to stir ch strife—and you ii. ;'1 ti ¡-,p,-1 you will have none of it in your columns. The lission of these letters is therefore a guarantee jeace, and which is further assured by the fact at they have the Vicar's approval. We have iso the fullest confidence that the Rev Mr homas, the curate in charge in the Vicar's tem- absence, will be thoroughly satisfied as to 3 intention of the letters. The Churchwardens ing fully persuaded that the majority at least, the congregation of Meliden Church are )Ioderate Churchmen," they have therefore no hesitation in stating and asserting the usually acknowledged basis of the M. C's Creed, which briefly stated is an adherence to the spirit and intention of the Book of Common Prayer as inter- preted by the 39 Articles. The wardens there- fore respectfully beg to submit that if, in the Vicar's absence, the Meliden pulpit should appear to proclaim an "extra high note" of Church teaching, that in such a case they respectfully ask any objectors to such teaching to carefully examine it for themselves in the light of the 39 articles, and ^ore particularly to the 6th article, which refers all Church teaching to Scripture. To deal plainly on this point we beg to submit that if any such terms expressions as the Church," (with any pr.otusiveness or narrowing down of such term) -I'aptismal regeneration," "Confes- sion and Aboolution," or even "Apostolic Succession" should be too freely or strongly dwelt upon-and, that if after a thorough sifting of such terms in the light of our church articles, by each individual member of the congregation—the majority of the congregation should be of opinion that they are repugnantly sacerdotal and beyond the spirit and mea- ting of our articles-we then feel ccn- fident it all due deference will be cheerfully this point to the wish of a responsible ation of the congregation as to a less t or a moderate use of the terms. By ,!ference we should be assured that, the t, 7ho are keenly on the alert, would be t-' that no extra high church teaching would ied into the public Elementary School in .ge. The Churchwardens' plea for this ion and appeal, in the temporary absence of tll lCar, is the fact of the gravity of the preiN' crisis in our National Church, but which uev les8 affords the extra favourable oppor- or making up the most dangerous of the br-scls that would otherwise split up the church ijfc-c vk and irresponsible factions.—We beg to Yours faithfully, 'HE MELIDEN CHURCHWARDENS (M,C's). 18%. -We hereby wish to intimate that the Rev M; mas (as curate in charge) having, on Sun- p rning last, made a public declaration before a :(1 it sngregation, that he will faithfully adhere to lirections of the book of Common Prayer, *(: teaching of the 39 articles, we therefore disclaim any further correspondence on bject.

BACKSTAIRS ALLEGATIONS against RHYL PIER. BOARD OE TRADE INVESTIGATION. A GROUNDLESS CHARGE. The proprietors of the Pier aud Grand Pavilion have had a great deal to contend with from time to time, and now that they have got over the soap objection, a more serious matter has required their attention. It is, in fact, one which has caused no little anxiety to tt.,oe in authority, and one cannot help thinking that there must be something behind the whole affair which does not present itself to notice at the present time. It is a very serious thing, not only for the pro- prietors of the Pier and Grand Pavilion, but for the town of Rhyl generally, that charges should be made that the structure is not safe for the public. The Pier is one of the attractions of the town, and if it were possible for anyone to cast doubt on its stability, the lodginghousr-keepers and the reputation of the town would be seriously affected from a financial point of view. It appears that someone has taken upon himself to move the B< ard of Trade to cause an iuspection of the Rhyl Pier to be made. The first intimation Mr Geary, the representative of the Pier pro- prietors, had that anything was wrong was in a letter dated June 11th, f on the Board of Trade, in which it was stated that "the Board have received a statement thbt the Pier at Khyl is in an unsafe condition. The Board have not fit present," continued the Utter, "sufficient evidence I to justify them in causing a survey and examina- tion of the Pier to be made at the expense of the Company under the provisions of the General Piers and Harbours Act, 1861, Amendment Act, but they have instructed Captain the Honoirible F C P Vereker, R.N., one of their profetsignal officers, to visit Rhyl, and confer with the repre- sentatives of the Company, as to the presebt condition of the Pier." It can readily be imagined what a surprise this letter caused the proprietors of the Pier, who have never before heard any suggestion made that the Pier was unsafe. They also realised that if the allegation was found to be true that the Board of Trade would send down an Engineer and staff to minutely examine the structure: a very expen- sive process. Naturally, the anxiety caused them was great, although they firmly believed that there was no truth in the statement made to the Board of Trade. On June 14th Capt-tiu-Vetoker thoroughly examined the Pier, in company with Mr Geary and the Pier Master (Mr Frank Jones), with the result that the structure was found perfectly safe. Mr Geary felt that he was in duty bound to endeavour to ascertain the name of the Board of Trade's informant, and to endeavour, if possible, to get at the origin of the allegation which had been made; but he failed, being- indirectly informed that the Board cannot divulge the name of their informant For the benefit of our readers we give extiacts from Captain Vereker's report, a copy of which has been furnished to the proprietors of the Pier. He sEkvs: I carefully examined the superktructare, piles, frtays and ties, and as it was approaching low water at the time of my visit, I was able to examine the footings of a great number of the piles. The Pier is about 600 yards in length, the piling being cylindrical and screwed 10 feet into the clay bedding. The head piling is worked on solid steel piles screwed into the subsoil. The work appears to be well stayed, tied and sup- ported, and I observed no evidence of neglect or decay or of any structural defect. The Pier Master is a practical ironworker, and served his apprenticeship at pier construction; he was en- gaged on the Pier during its erection, and now supervises the maintenance of it. Several stays and ties have been recently replaced, and the Pier was repainted by contract las-1 year. The whole fabric was carefully inspected aud tested in 1890 by Messrs Leith Howell, Engineers, of Bagillt Thfr coastguards, who have a watch honse on the Pier, informed me that the Pier, even in a heavy galp, is perfectly stable and rigid. No 'corrosion' exists underneath the Pier, though, of course, there is in many places the usual oxidation from the sea water" Captain Vt-r.ker, who is an Associate of the Institute of Civil Engineers, makes two suggestions, which the proprietors of the Pier readily accede to. It is suggested that a small top rail should be placed on the railings at the seaward end of the Pier, in order t) guard against any possible accident, especially by children climbing on the seat. Lifebuoys with lines should also be placed on the Pier in situa- tions available to the public, in cae of necessity for their use arising. From the above it will be seen that the im- portince of this matter to the proprietors of the Pier and the townspeople generally is great, and it is regrettable that the Board of Trade do not see their way to give up the name of the person who has chosen, apparently without due considera- tion, to make this accusation. If such a body as the Board of Trade can be complained to, and groundless charges made, who knows but that like reports may not be circulated elsewhere. Once rival seaside places obtained information on this point it would not be many days before a paragraph would appear in the English news- papers to the detriment of Rhyl, while the mischief done would take yeprs to undo. We hope that now this matter has been brought before the public in this way that there will be an end to the system of persecution which appears to be levelled against the proprietors of the Pier. If the person who made the charge has any ground for what he said, Itt him, like a man, publicly declare his views,

SHOCKING STREET ACCIDENT. TWO PERSONS KILLED. A sad accident occurred in Warwick Street, Rugby, the other day. Mr. Samuel Rose, a gentleman widely known as a dealer in horses, accompanied by a groom, was driving a phaeton and pair along the Hillmorton Road, when the horses took fright at a small white pony chaise standing in the road, and dashed off into the town at a terrific speed. Madly they careered along School Street, and Mr. Rose, who had succeeded in reducing their speed somewhat, tried in vain to get them round the corner of the big school and into Dunchurch Road. The wheels of the vehicle came into contact with the kerb, and the phaeton being overturned Mr. Rose and the groom, William Harper, who hails from Bury St. Edmunds, were hurled with terrible violence into the plate-glass window of Messrs. Packwood's grocer's shop. The injuries sustained by Mr. Rose were of a shocking nature, and in an uncon- scious state lie was conveyed on a stretcher to the hospital, where he died immediately after admis- sion. The groom was badly cut about the head, face, and arms, and his wounds bled profusely. He, too, was taken to the hospital, but his con- dition is not regarded as critical. Two little girls chanced to be on the pavement just as the horses came down. One had the presence of mind to spring on to the shop doorstep, and was enabled to just keep out of the way of the plunging horses; but her companion, Florence Mary Gamble, ten years of age, daughter of a baker living in Union Street, was knocked down and sustained such terrible injuries to her head by kicks from the horse that she died instantly. Many persons were horror-stricken eye-witnesses of the shocking scene, and doctors and policemen were quickly on the spot to render what assist- ance they could. The terrible event cast quite a gloom over the town, and the greatest sympathy was expressed on all hands for the bereaved families. Mr. Rose, who was greatly respected in the town, leaves a family of four sons and three daughters.

ACCIDENT ON THE NEW UNDERGROUND RAILWAY. A fatal accident occurred the other evening on the new underground railway, between Waterloo and the City. One man, named Frederick Farmer, a fitter, of 5, Longville Road, Newington Butts, was killed, and a second man, James Moody, was badly hurt. It appears that, although the rail- way is not yet open to the public, a train has been run during the past few days between Waterloo and the City for experimental purposes. This train, it is stated, had been completed by the contractors, Messrs. Siemens, and handed over to the railway company. On a siding in the depot stood a train and a single car a few feet apart. Both were packed up—that is, the wheels were wedged with pieces of wood so that neither could move-and between them these two men were at work drilling holes for fastening the motor to the train. The train that was being experimented with had just returned from the city, and was sent down to the depot to have the air-reservoirs filled, when it ran into the stationary carriage, hurling it against the train beyond. The two men had no warning, and were crushed between the two carriages. Farmer was horribly mutilated, and was dead when pickad up. Moody was con. veyed to St. Thomas's Hospital, where it was found that his right thigh was badly crushed. After treatment he was sent home in a cab. The officials are very reticent as to the cause of the accident, but it is stated that the train should never have been sent to that particular siding. Another account says that the brake failed to act.

TROOPS FOR KHARTOUM. AN ENTHUSIASTIC SEND-OFF. There was a scene of much enthusiasm in camp at Aldershot, the other morning, on the occasion of the departure of two exceptionally strong drafts of the Army Service and Medical Staff Corps for active service in the Soudan. The Army Service Corps draft paraded in white helmets and foreign service uniforms. Staff-sergeants and sergeants were armed with swords and revolvers, and the rank and file with carbines and sword-bayonets. Before they marched off to the railway station, headed by the band of the 2nd Battalion Northamptonshire Regiment, Colonel Bunbury addressed the troops, wishing them all sorts of good luck," and reminding them jokingly of the additional value now attaching to the V.C. Loud cheers were given by their comrades as the men marched through the South Camp, all corps en route turning out and giving them a very hearty send-off.

TRAGIC SUICIDE OF A TRAVELLER, Frederick Richard (27), traveller, of 210, Lozells Road, was summoned to appear at the Birmingham Police Court on a charge of illegally pawning a diamond ring, but he elected to go before a higher tribunal. Inspector Daniel announced to the magistrates that the accused had committed suicide. During the morning, before the hour fixed for his attendance at the police court, his brother heard the sound of a shot, and upon going upstairs found that Frederick had blown his brains out with a revolver, and was dead.

ADULTERATED COFFINS. Polished oak," said one of the trade," polished grandmother the head and foot pieces may be but the rest is—well—no one knows what it may not be at a price like that Brass—phew No more brass than your hat"—and so he went on through the whole category until we were becom- ing convinced that he had been guilty of such adulterating practices until he assured us lie had not. The moral is here. When you know the cheap-jack-man has undercut you in price, put the customer up to the tricks he practices. There are some relatives of the deceased persons who would shudder at the thought of adulterated cofrins. A few refusals to accept them when brought in would put a stop to the practice, and cheap-jack would be beaten with his own weapon.

CYCLING NEWS & GOSSIP. The interest in cycle racing in London appears to be waning more than ever, even when special attractions are billed. For example, the Anerley Bicycle Club only attracted a thin atten lance, estimated at a couple of thousand spectators, to witness the hundred miles race for the Carwardine Cup. Yet there were distinct elements of attraction in the contest, as it was for a three hundred guinea cup, and a keen rivalry existed between at least two entrants, H. D. Frost, who won in 1896, and A. H. Harris, last year's successful man. At Catford, too, on the same day, there was a scanty attendance to witness the Annual Sports of the club, although efforts at affording a varied entertainment were made, and provided a pro- gramme that will probably have greater attractive force when it becomes more familiar. It is some- thing of a climb down from pure and unadulterated speed racing to mingle on the programme obstacle races, tortoise races, and military mancevres, but as race meetings have ceased to draw, sport pro- moters must look for attractions elsewhere. In addition to the competitions of a fanciful order, there was a carefully carried out musical ride, the intricate evolutions of which were unfal- teringly executed by two files of lady members of the club elegantly dressed and riding decorated bicycles. The speed contest which figured on the programme was the mile championship of the promoting club, which had on two previous occasions been secured by A. J. Cherry, and for the third time he again scored a victory, and thus obtained possession of the Fifty-Guinea Shield as his own property. Two thousand, five hundred miles is a long journey and to a cyclist who covers this distance over terribly trying roads it must appear infinitely more so. Such was the case with Mr. Denning who on his Dunlop tyred safety beat the record from Melbourne to Perth, Western Australia by five days. In a record ride of this description the rider has to find and make his own track as there is no recog- nized course, and part of the way is through sheer desert. Truly Mr. Denning may be proud of his feat, and the Dunlop Co. of the way their tyro withstood the severe strain. -At Midsummer, every year, the North Road Club carries out a somewhat singular function in the shape of a non-competitive long-distance club run from London to York, a distance of 200 miles within a very little. Of course, it is night as well as a day ride, but the pa-e being scheduled at below twelve miles an hour, and the stoppages being long t, z7, and the refreshments frequent, there is nothing of an arduous nature about such a performance. It is more of a demonstration of how simple a matter it is to ride an exceedingly long way with ease and comfort, provided there is no attempt at hurrying. The great discussion which arose over the recent refusal of a Dorking innkeeper to accommodate a rationally dressed" lady cyclist, has subsided since the National Cyclists' Union announced its intention of taking steps in the matter of enforcing the right of a wheelwoman to food and shelter without regard to the fashion of her costume. By way of test, a gentleman visited the house with two rational ladies, and although at first received with a refusal, were, on protest, taken in. They were, moreover, provided with a special sitting- room. Rationalists claim this as a victory to the cause, a;id a special act of grace; the other side point out that the innkeeper has won, because he has still kept the wearers of the costume he dislikes out of his public coffee room. Although the "rational ladies" claim a score, there does not appear to be any mad rush by the fair sex generally to join the ranks of the eccentrics. Like all fads, the indulgence is confined to the few, and so with the knickerbocker brigade who will rarely if ever swell their numbers by the rational" method. In Scotland, the weather has been good for some considerable time past, and the main roads there, are becoming very loose. Scottish wheel- men appear to be exploring the more unfrequented roads of their beautiful country, and are thereby imitating the good example set by English wheelmen. In dry dusty weather, the lanes and bveways afford much more pleasurable riding than the main roads. To always stick to the main highways, when on runs, is to say the least a strange habit, when one considers what a beautiful landscape, ever-changing and picturesque in the extreme, is invariably dis- closed to view when the high road is left behind in favour of a ride through the bye-lanes. The true enjoyment of cycling is to be found in the winding lanes rather than on the main milestoned road. Wise is the man, who having the choice of holiday periods, sets forth upon his tour while the early July sunshine is around and all countryside is "fair to see." By waiting till later months have come along, when all the world, in fact, appears to be holidaying, the weather may be very indifferent. Better to bear the weather you have, than fly to those you know not of. A non-slipping racing tyre has recently been introduced by the Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co., and appeals specially to those racing men who principally confine their sphere of influence to grass tracks. The tread of the tyre is left quite smooth, but on the edges of the outer cover, the familiar basket pattern device is mouldecl-stnps smaller in form than usual, therefore can only come into operation when the tyre is turning a corner at a sharp angle. The tyre is beautifully soft and silken in its running, and experts to whom a section has been shown a', c unanimous in declann 1 that it j the best they have ever seen. It should be taken up largely by grass-track riders, to whom it cannot fail to be highly advantageous. Military cycling is getting quite a feature of race- meetings nowadays, and we are glad to notice that those who give. of the kind an more efficient than was the case some few year: ago. The" wheel warrior now shows us some feats really worth looking at, and as a result this form of entertainment goes down with the sight- seeing public. A well-known London physician declares that cycling for women if indulged in to the extent which the sterner sex resort to, is at once not only dangerous to the system, but suicidal- The writer is fully convinced of the truth of this by the wotth, medico's detailed explanation. cychng for womeli to be beneficial, must be of the gentlest nature and taken in doses, so to speak, at ccrtfth1 tunes..

RHYL CYCLING NOTES. The wheelers are talking a great deal about the run to Bodfary to-morrow (Saturday), when the members will be entertained in right down good style by the Committee. An easy run has been selected in order that all who possibly can may attend, as there is an effort being made to secure a return of "the good old times for which the R.C.C. were once famous. A pleasant afternoon can be relied upon, and I believe that the journey to the Dinorben Hotel, Bodfary, will be all that can be desired. The members are requested to assemble at Head- quarters, East Parade, with machines in good running trim by 1-45, in order that the start can be made punctually at 2 o'clock without waiting for the usual whippeis-in. The Committee, I believe, are anxious to see all who have qualified as members-that is, paid their 1898 subscription-around the festive board, and if there are any who cannot join the party at 1-45 they can follow through the Waen as fast as they like when business duties release them. By the way, I am asked to state that fishing rods are not required on this journey, as the Committee will provide all refreshments. Bodfary is the place selected for the tea. I make this positive statement,'as I hear that the R.C.C. members when out for a spin are apt to change their minds. On one ocoasion they went to Henllan, after announcing that Holywell was their destination. Rather rough that on the two who had the misfortune to get punctured and had to go on a wild goose chase alone. The excuses made for absence from the church parade are very amusing, the most genuine being that of one cyclist who frankly admits that he was too lazy, and preferred to stay in bed to getting to head quarters by 8-45 a.m. The race takes place on Tuesday next, and all entries are required to be sent in by 7 o'clock this (Friday) evening. The evening church parade is to Llanasa on Sunday next (July 17th), starting from head- quarters at 2-30, tea being partaken of on the way, as there are plenty of convenient spots. Surely this hour should suit those who are not exactly early risers. Camp life is on the boards just now, and Llynhelig is spoken of as the probable camping ground for the Bank Holiday week. The ar- rangements aie nearing completion, and are in the hands of Mr T. Davies, Vice-Captain. I believe that there will be some class about the affair fhis time, as the Committee have autho- rised the purchase of floors for the tents. The expenses will be kept down as much as pos- sible. It is decided to place the Club's notice board outside the cycle establishment of Messrs Connah and Co., in Queen Street. GEARCASE No. 2.

P. AND 0. LINER BURNED. STEWARDESS OF THE GANGES LOSES HER LIFE. The other morning at half-past two a fire was discovered on board the P. and O. steamer Ganges, which was lying up in the middle harbour at Bombay. The quartermaster first noticeo .e outbreak, and awakened the chief officer. The pumps were set to work and continued for two hours without effect. The flames burst through the main lmtch, and Captain Creery ordered all ammunition and other combustibles to be jettisoned, and the pump- ing was directed on that part of the ship where the wines and spirits were stored. Finding at length that the flames had obtained a thorough hold, the captain ordered all hands to leave the ship. Those on board the vessel included the captain, live officers, four engineers, the stewardess, and 185 crew. Before abandoning the ship all the silver and the other valuables were removed. The officers and men were taken on board the steamer Bandora. They lost all their belongings. The burning vessel was towed to Green Island, near the Elephanta Caves, and practically beached. She has been completely destroyed, the damage being estimated at f 25, 000 to f 30, 000. The stewardess, Mrs. Atkins, who occupied a cabin amidships, where apparently the fire origi- nated, was burned to death in her cabin. Her body has been recovered in a terribly charred condition. With the exception of a portion of the hip-bone there is nothing to show that the remains are human. The cause of the fire is quite unknown. There was no cargo in the vessel.
