DEATH. On December 16th, Ernest, the beloved son of Mr and Mrs Edwards, 65 High Street, Rhyl. Aged 17. IN MEMORUM. EVANS.—In loving memory of Ada, the beloved daugh- ter of Benjamin and Isabella Evans, 1 Castle View, J fynnongroew read, Rby), who died December 20tb, 1890. Aged 16 years. Also James, the beloved son of He above who died Joly 14th, 1894, aged 24 years. Aroond our darlings' graiei we linger, Till the setting sun is low, Feeling all our h,pes are perished Intbe flowers we cherished so God comfoit the sad and the lonely, And show them Tty ways are love; Though the cros3 on earth be heavy, There's a fairer world above. In loving memory of John, only son of John and Sarah Williams, 32 Water-street, Rhyl (late of 36 S Wellington-road), who departed this life December 18th, 1897, aged 33 years. In loving memory of our dear mother Ann Jones, 24 Bedford Street, Rhyl, who departed this life December 21st, 1895. Also our dear father, Hugh Jones, who died May 1st, 1897. To call our dear parents to His home, The Lord thought it best; Though the parting gave us grief and pain We must abide and let them rest.

Sir Horatio Lloyd, in a case heard at Llandudno County Court on Thursday relating to the propor- tion the executors of a certain estate were required to pay of expenses incurred by the widow after the death of her husband, said that people were very fond in Wales of having what was called a beautiful funeral," and excessive expenses were often incurred. In this case a mourning costume costing four guineas had been ordered for the funeral, ar.d he regarded that as unnecessary. A person could go to a funeral in a red coat just as well as in a black one. Mr Roberts, a solicitor engaged in the case, said it had been the custom for many years in Wales to have such accounts paid by the executors, and the judge's decision would haae a far-reaching effect. Mr Leigh Taylor, Penmaenucha, has promised conditionally £1000 towards an endowment for Dolgelly Grammar School, the only church school of its kind in the diocese of Bangor, The buildings ot the old school were saved from the operations of the Welsh Act, whilst the endowment was plienated,

BRITISH SCHOOLS CONCERT. Last evening, at the Grand Pavilion, a concert was given in aid of the funds of the British Schools. The weather was boisterous, but despite that drawback, there was a large attendance, although many of the children, who had been trained to take part in the entertainment, were unable to be present. The chair was taken by Mr R Llewellyn Jones, who explained that Mr S Perks was unable to preside as announced, being indisposed. On behalf of the managers of the schools, the Chairman thanked those who had supported that concert, and remarked that the deficit in the school accounts amounted to £234, and he hoped that the Nonconformists of Rhyl would realise their responsibility in connection with the British Schools. Not only had the children been well trained for that concert, but the schools had received the best possible reports, and were undoubtedly equal to any schools in North Wales. A serious responsibility rested on some of the congregations in Rhyl. He was pleased to say that the members of several places of worship contributed very well to the schools, but there were others who were sadly behind and required to be a little more enthusiastic instead of leaving all the responsibility upon the shoulders of others. Unless there were further contributions the serious question of the closing of the schools would have to be faced, as it was not likely that a few would continue to bear the burden and guarantee the deficit. If everyone interested in education did their duty there would be plenty of funds, but a glance at the subscription list showed that there were but a few who did that which was expected of them. The programme was then proceeded with, and the children most satisfactorily acquitted them- selves, the performance being a. thorough success. PART I.

During the interval, Mr L J Roberts, H.M.I.S., proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, masters, teachers, artistes, and to Mr Bryan Warhurst for gratuitously giving his services as accompanist. He (Mr Roberts) desired to specially thank the teachers for having given up much of their leisure in order to prepare the children for that entertainment. He was proud to be present to witness such splendid specimens of work from the elementary schools. It was really but one branch of it—the recreative branch but he was able to speak from personal experience of the excellence of the other work (applause). He emphasised the appeal of the Chairman, and assured those present that it was false economy to refrain from subscribing to the funds of the school, as the children received the best possible education and he believed that many parents paid heavy fees for an education that was inferior to that given free in the schools of Rhyl (applause). The Rev D Lewis seconded, and it was carried.

CYCLING NEWS & COSSIP. II During the Stanley and National cycle shows the cyclist of London and greater Suburbia put in an appearance at the two exhibitions, more from the motive that as wheelmen it was their duty to attend, than from the object of making their selection for next season's riding. Not so the cycle agents, whose prime object ill journeying from the provinces, and even from distant towns in Ireland and Scotland, was to transact business for the coming year and make arrangements with makers after obtaining informal ion on the latest improvements in cycle const-ruci ion beyond this there was a silent hankering for mundane pleasures, in which the good companionship and courteous hospitality of makers figure prominently. A visitor to the Shows could not fail to be struck by the marked falling off in the litilill-er of exhibits, the of the customary lavishness dis- played in the fitting up of the stands, and the rapid inroad that motor exhibits had made into tire reduced area proportioned to cycles and cycle accessories. In the case of the National Show this was most marked, the space at the Crystal Palace occupied by the exhibition being considera- bly curtailed from former years, while practically the whole of that portion known as the North Nave was devoted to motors. The shows on the whole were as satisfactory to the exhibitors as had been expected, though it was generally acknow- ledged that very few would reap a harvest worth speaking about from the seeds sown. The tendency is for the trade to fight shy of exhibitions of this description, and it is more than probable that i/both shows are held next year, a still further secession of exhibitors will be observed. An Australian correspondent sends home some interesting information regarding the behaviour of pneumatic tyres in that country,and points out that owing to the severe heat and the rough usage they are subject to by being driven over hot sand and rough bush tracks, very few tyres can stand the hard treatment for lorn, O'.rr informant, however, points out that the only tyres which seems to give complete satisfaction, and to figure prominently, are the Dunlops." These are used on the tracks and highways with the greatest success. The question of the .ive advantage of long or short cranks is apparently to receive a fresh lease of life, the subject again coming into pro- minence by a couple of Newea^t'e riders agreeing to accept Mr. Hodgson'i cliallmge. The two riders are prepared to ride any distance from a quarter of a mile to 150 miles on a, cycle path, the stipulation being, that, Mr. Hodgson uses 9-inch cranks and they cranks of (ii-inches, while the gear in both cases is to be optional. We cannot help considering the contest as unnecessary, the rival merits of long or short cranks having been already so conclusively proved in favour of the latter; but still the challenge promotes a certain amount of interest, although the result is fore- known, providing all the competitors are of equal standard. Dogs are not allowed to haul carls in this coun- try, as it is humanely and rightly believed that their feet are not adapted by nature for heavy work on hard roads. The restriction is not, how- ever, imposed abroad, and an inventor some time back took out a patent for a device to enable a dog to assist in the propulsion of a tricycle. A sort of shaft protruded to the rear, and the dog is har- nessed in and tugs away, although lie cannot see where lie is going. It is to be hoped that foot- rests are provided for him when the rider starts coasting. In analyzing the reports published of the Stanley and National cycle shows, the fact comes into prominence that there were but few exh'^its show- ing anj' radical change in the present design of the bicycle. The day of the inventor expounding his theories to an interesting group of by-standers, has departed, and the shows are now only supported by manufacturers selling cycles of the orthodox pattern. M. Bastien, the young French amateur, is one of the cleverest of pace followers, and besides winning the 100 kilos World's Amateur Cham- pionship he holds the World's Hour Amateur record with a score of 34 miles, 979 yards. He, of course, rides Dunlop tyres. It is satisfactory to note that the National C 'N,clists' ITiiion championship meeting held at Grangetown last season resulted in a profit of no less than £ 258. Other championship meetings yielded fairly good returns, and the Union is to be congratulated upon being able to now-a-days run cycle race meetings with such satisfactory results. People should bear in mind that the Union does a lot of good work, and of course it is quite im- possible for it to do so without proper funds. The more funds they have the more work they are able to perform in the interests of the general body of cyclists. If this consideration were to always weigh with people when N.C.U. championship meetings are held in their districts we should no doubt see even an increase in the yield mentioned above. Once again a six days' race is to be held in New York, and from present information it appears that England will again be represented. One of the leading road riders of the year, H. Green, is stated to be a probable starter, and it is even stated that lie may possibly be a partner with Hale who won the first event, and ride a tandem. If these two men should get up together, England would have a good chance of success, although for a six days' race of this kind, where absolutely no interval is allowed, a tandem would towards the latter stages become a terrible instrument to use, unless the riders were to nick in the most absolute and I perfect fashion.

At Hawarden County School last term there were 91 pupils, eleven above the maximum set forth in the scheme. On Wednesday the Rev F G Jones, Vicar ot Llanrhos (which includes a part of Llandudno), opened as a Church house an old Biptist chapel in Queen's Road, Craigydon. It was built by the Rev J Spinther James in 1894. Lady Augusta Mostyn performed the opening ceremony on Wednesday. The Gardener (Cassell's) for this week gives away a pretty coloured calendar. Mr Parker Davies, chemist, Rhyl, has issued a dainty wall calendar, fit for any room in the house or office. A movement is on foot for the erection of a memorial to the late Professor Alfred Hughes at Corris. The forms suggested for the memorial are a monument, a public hall or a literary insti- tute. News reached Oxford on Saturday afternoon of the death of Sir John Conroy, Bart,, of Llanbryn- mair, Bedford Lecturer in Physics at Balliol Col- lege, which took place that morning in Rome. Amongst the eight members who went into the lobby against the war vote last week were Mr Lloyd George, Mr Keir Hardie, Mr Bryn Roberts, and Mr J. A. Thomas. The minority was thus half composed of Welsh members. The Rev David Walter Williams, curate of Os- westry, has been appointed Vicar-Choral of St, Asaph Cathedral. Mr Williams, who graduated from Christ's College, Cambridge, was ordained deacon by the Bishop of Llandaff in 1893, and priest by the Bishop of St. Asaph in 1S95. He was chaplain and assistant master of Oswestry School from 1893 to 1896, and in the latter year was appointed chaplain of the House of Industry and one of the assistant clergy of Oswestry parish church.

while in the chemists' shops perfumes and photographic apparatus occupy principal places. The changeable weather requires that people should be provided with good boots, and the dealers have well-selected stocks on view. The beer scare has apparently had little effect in Rhyl, although the licensed victuallers have taken the precaution to display notices certifying that their beer is pure. In the windows of the wine and spirit dealers there is the usual show of decorated bottles, &c. Given seasonable weather, Rhyl tradesmen will, no doubt, do a good trade in the few days from now to Christmas. The Zingara Troupe. The Zingara Troupe visited the Royal Alexandra Hospital last evening and gave a lively programme to an enthusiastic little audience of patients and friends. The troupe departed from their general rule of all dressing alike, and wore a charming variety of costumes, which were frequently changed during the evening. The programme was smartly carried through, many encores being insisted upon. We understand the troupe have promised to give entertainments there periodically during the winter season. They, are also "booked for other engagements at different places. Bright Sunshine at Rhyl. «• The following is the record of bright sunshine at Rhyl during the week ending Wednesday, Dec. 19th H. M.
