EASTER HOLIDAYS. Visitors began to arrive on Thursday, their number was augmented on the following day, and greatly increased on Saturday. On Saturday evening, when the weather was favourable, as. indeed, it has been through- out the holidays, the chief streets presented quite an animated appearance. The number of persons wandering on the shore and on the promenades on the following days indi- cated that the boarding and lodging-houses were well-patronized. We understand that, for instance, the two hydros were well filled, whilst the Marlborough was in a similar condition. And this despite the fact that Easter fell early this year. Yet it was by no means the earliest possible appearance of the festival. It can occur so early as March 22nd, but it very rarely comes so soon. Easter last occurred in March in 1894, when it fell on the 25th. It will next occur on March 23rd in 1913. If regarded purely as a holiday a late Easter-it can occur so late as April 25th-is preferable to an early one, as the very early days of spring are always unpleasantly variable in weather, and gener- ally the country has donned gayer robes, and I y is altogether more delightful in April than it is in March. Early or late, Easter is a wel- come break to men and women who have worked through the winter, and even in March much pleasure may be obtained at the seaside. The religious services on Good Friday in the churches were very we!l attended. The chief service was that known as The Three Hours," from noon till 3 p.m., in St. Thomas's, when the Vicar delivered appro- priate addresses to a devout congregation. The service held in the evening at the Parish Church was remarkably well attended, whilst St John's was fairly crowded. On the fol- lowing day a goodly number of ladies was busy changing the aspect of the churches, in preparation for the Queen of Festivals, and the result in each case was highly satisfac- tory. The various decorators were the following. PARISH CHURCH.—Mrs Lewis Jones, chancel and window Miss Roberts, Fair- holme, pulpit and windows; Miss Edwards, North Wales, font and window Miss Corbett Jones, Miss Griffiths, Miss Evans (Princes St) Miss Lizzie Evans, Miss May Davies windows.
