Notes. To have heard of "Kelly", does not necessarily imply that one has visited the Isle of Man. The alert little newsboy whom we particular- ly noticed the other day had not been to the Isle of Man, and yet he knew all about "Has anyone seen Kelly" ? as was amply demon- strated when a practical exponent of outdoor economics asked him who had scored in a certain foot- ball match. "Kelly" victoriously re- plied the newsboy, "and you can have all the others who scored if you care to buy a halfpenny news- paper". But the master of econom- ics passed along sadly, evidently awaiting to look over the shoulder of some foolish spendthrift who had purchased an evening news- paper. Even failing that, there was the Free Libary left for him on the morrow. -4 But all of us have not heard of '■'Kelly." A local pressman who has -not been to the Isle of Man. and does not patronise Pierrot Shows had not until the other day. He was just recovering from a billious attack, when a buoyant colleague burst in upon him remarking with an air of forced sympathy "I say old man, you have made an awful mess of your report concerning that fellow they found dead yesterday It is not—at all", "Go on" jerked out the victim who had become quite feverish. Visions of law actions apologies, and damages be- gan to loom up. "Who on earth was it then"? he asked timorously. "Kelly" retorted the buoyant one bursting into a hearty laugh. Still the victim perspired and in despair- ing tones asked—"Well who on earth is Kelly?, where does he live? Several minutes had to be spent in convincing him that it was only the latest joke, and even now he does not think much of it. We rarely do when we happen to be the victim. Patrolling the streets of a cer- tain Flintshire town—it is often alluded to as a village "—the con- stable on night duty was probably congratulating himself upon the absence of dangerous work, or pre- tending to bewail that fact when he espied the carcase of a fat pig hanging outside a shop. Not safe to be like that," murmured he and forthwith shouldering it, carried it off to the police station for safe custody. He went off duty in the morning, but had not told his col- i league, who on going to the office was horrified to find a dead pig there. He probed it, and looked x at it, and pondered long over it, and endeavoured unsuccessfully to solve the mystery. The latter became intensified when some one came to claim the pig. He could not for a long time ascertain how the pig was transported to the Police station. What unruffled his Usual serene demeanour most was the constant chaff he was subjected to by his friends who every time they met him exclaimed—" Who stole the pig ?" No wonder our friend in blue has now developed an intense dislike to pork, and even frowns upon pawky humourists. We have received the follow- ing anonymous effusion on a post- card. bearing the Prestatyn post Ce I; :)'1 ',<C would make more out-of-work than any measure ever before the House of Commons look at the building- trade already.—The House of Lords will be simply doing its duty to the people if they throw the budget out or hang it up, but you being Welsh are blinded by party, or you would publish both sides of the question. In 1906 there were 40 out of 1,000. now 49 per 1,000 out-of-work. This Government otg into power by falsecriesand it would be wiser if it taxed ^150,000,000 foreign made goods that come into England yearly, than tax our own rich and poor. What about the big and little loaf now ? Stick to the truth and let your outlook be less parochial.—Yours,—English, # It is not our custom, nor the cus- tom of any other newspaper to publish correspondence unless the author thereof sends his name, not necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith, but we do so in this case, as we are accused of only giving one side of the ques- tion. We should, however, like our correspondent to furnish ns with a specific instance where these col- umns have been closed to the ex- pression of any political opinion, within reason of course. The good (or bad) that men do lives after them," and the present state of the labour market may be as- cribed to the reckless and extravag- ant financial policy of the last government, from which the King- dom is slowly recovering. The effect of the present government's financial policy will not be felt for a little while, but we shall be anxious to see whether our correspondent will be in a position to write in a sinliliar strain say in a year or two, when that policy is developing and its good results are being experien- ced. It is all very well to speak of taxing foreign made goods, but the foreigners would not be taxed. The home consumers would have to pay that tax and a little more on the top of it, and such a course would prove the greatest tax on the poor ever imposed in modern times. As to the big loaf we now have it, but we should not have it if food- stuffs were taxed. We intend to stick to the truth as our anony- mous friend advises us to, and perhaps rejoice that he prefers to remain in oblivion, if only for the sake of his own reputation. Where did he strike you—in the street demanded the advocate. "No on the jaw warmly returned the witness at a local police court the other day. This species of witness box humour is of every day occurence and is only really a topsy turvy relation of the more famous High Court joke, wherein counsel asked a witness in a claim for dam- ages in a bus accident where he was injured. Was it in the ab- domen queried the barrister in a supplementary. "No it was in the street" was the answer. And of course that settled the matter. The Prestatyn Cymrodorion Society are fortunate in having secured a promise from "Llew Tegid" (Mr D LI Jones), the con- ductor at the last National Eistedd- fod, to address them during the winter. His discourse will be worth listening to, for he is a hum- ourist of the first rank, as is evid- enced by the following. When he first came on the stagp at the Albert Hall, he was staggered at the vastness of the building and the large number of people it contained. Where am I ? he shouted to the audience. You arc in the Albert Hall" several of the audience told him. Oh, I thought I was in Anglesea with a roof on was the witty response. I.

MEMORIAL TO MISS "VXZARD. I HOSPITAL BUILDINGS. "HENDRE." I. I The following appeal has -been issued by the Managing Committee of the Hospital Block. There is a strong feeling that there should be some permanent memorial of Miss Vizard in connection with the Royal Alexandra Hospital, to which, as Lady Superintendent for 55 years, she freely rendered such devoted and invaluable service. The organization and development of the staff of nurses for attending private cases, which now forms such an important part of the work of the institution, -was mainly due to her initiative and j able management, and the time has come when it is very desirable that this department should be housed in a separate building. I It is, therefore, proposed to purchase Hendre, a house admirably adapted for this purpose which stands, at the South-east corner of the Hospital grounds, and has hitherto been rented by the Committee for the temporary accommodation of convalescent patients, and to call it the "Edith Vizard Nurses' Iloiiie." Through the generosity of a friend,-who has lent the purchase money on mortage, the Com- mittee have been able to secure the house for the sum of £1,500, but it cannot be conveyed to the Hospital Trustees until the money is raised to pay it, and in the meantime the interest on the mortgage is an annual charge upon the revenue. IWe feel sure that very many friends of Miss Vizard will share our desire to join in this tribute to her memory, and we shall be very glad to re- ceive contributions, or they may be sent to the North and South Wales Bank at Rhyl, for the "Edith Vizard Memorial Fund/' Signed on behalf of the Managing Committee, ARTHUR MESH AM, Chairman.

Amusements. I THE QCKEN'S RINK. One of the most successful and enjoyable fancy dress carnivals ever held in the Rink took place on Thursday evening. The number of participants and spectators were not so, but there was more variety in the costumes, and the standard was of a higher quality. The prize winners were:-Be,, Fancy Costumes—Gentle- men's—1, Mr Frank Drake, as Mephislophles; 2, Mr Stanley Leeds, as a Turk. Ladies Fancy Costumes—1, Miss Whittingham, as Turkish lady; 2, Miss Morrell, as flower girl. Most graceful skating—1, Mr Stanley Leeds; 2, Mr Frank Drake. Ladies graceful skating—1. Miss Morrell; 2, Miss Maud Bell. The two step competition was won by Miss Donaldson and Mr Stanley Leeds, and was decidedly a popular win. Mr 'Drake's costume was cer- tainly the most daring and original and he well deserved premier honours. Mr Ashfield in old courtiers attire; Mr Thornley in a Guards Offic. er's uniform looking every inch a military man Mr Bob Roberts in Cowboy's rig out; another gentleman in hunting rainment; and several of the ladies pretty costumes were all excellent in their respective ways, and were greatly admired. The Rhyl Town Band under the conductorship of Mr D 0 Roberts dispensed appropriate music in an efficient manner, which pleased both spaters and spectators. BENEFIT TO MR. CARRUTHERS. On Thursday evening, Mr Carruthers the owner of the miniature circus on the foreshore took a well deserved benefit at the Town Hall, and the event attracted an encouraging patronage. The entertainment was a capital one throughout and included contributions by the Male Voice Choir under the conductorship of Mr T Amos Jones, R.A.M. This is the Choir's first appearance this season and judging from their work on Thursday night we should hear some good ac- counts of the combination ere long. Miss Mabel Hughes greatly contributed to the success of the evening by her services at the piano, which were rendered with such conspicious 'ability. Then Mr CarritheTs clever little animals which were at the top of their form gave a series of clever performances which -greatly delighted the aud- ience. In thanking his patrons Mr Carruthers expressed the hope that he would secure his pitch on the foreshore again next year, a wish that was re-echoed by the audience, judging from the hearty applause that went up. Some disappoint- ment was expressed at Miss Mamie Evans not being able to be present owing to a sprained wrist. Master 'Charlie Bray had also been an- nounced to appear, but it was stated that his parents would not allow him to sing because. his name had not been billed" conspicuously enough.

ROYAL ALEXANDRA HOSPITAL. On Friday the Hospital children and nurses spent a delightful afternoon at C'efn, by the kind invitation of .Mrs Willianis-W ynn, the party numbering about 60. Thl;, able-bodied children explored the caves, and a surptuous tea was pro- vided for all before they returned home. Our readers will wonder how such a large party was conveyed from Rhyl to Cefn, and it is a pleasure to tell them that this difficulty was overcome by the generosity of Mr Peter Edge, who most kind- ly supplied three roomy brakes entirely free of charge. The. drive home was rather a wet one, but the children were none the worse for it and they all spent a thoraughly happy afternoon. On Tuesday when everyone was feeling rather dull on account of the pouring rain, a welcome change was made by Mr Foulkes with his usual thoughtfulness offering to bring his Gramophone to the Hospital. Both children and grown up enjoyed a pleasant hour listening to some ex- cellent selections. The following gifts have been received and are gratefully" acknowledged:—l'ruit, flowers, and vegetables, Mrs Kynaston Mainwaring; St Peters Chorley Harvest Festival, English Wesleyan Harvest Festival, Prestatyn, Water's Upton Har- vest Festival; bridal bouquets, Mr illare, Water Street;' clothing and papers, etc, Mrs Allsopp toys, iMiss Edna Jones Illustrated papers, Mr Bevington corn and apples for Hospital chapel Harvest Festival, Mr Owen. -0:-

Eric II made a good start three seconds after gun fire, Gwalia following 20 seconds later, the latter however caught Eric at the East mark and just managed to cut her out, and going along comfortably had a nice lead at the West Buoy. Gwalia was eight seconds in front at the finish of the first round, and on the second round in- creased her lead to 4m 37secs, Eric seeming to have no life. On the third round the wind was very flaky but the positions remained unchanged, thougli Eric made up a lot of her lost ground. They finished in a very light air as follows:-First Round, Gwalia 3h 58m 30s, Eric 3h sSm 38s. Second Round, Gwalia 4h 27m 55s, Eric 4h 32m 32s.

The former was just first at the East mark, and they were equally close at the West Buoy. On the beat to the home mark Valmai began to go away and was 28 seconds ahead on rounding. Val- mai kept her lead right up to the West mark, when Jennie, aided by a freeing of the wind and through standing closer in shore gradually ;crept up and passed her. Alvery fair performance but unlucky for Valmai. They finished as follows:—Jennie 5h 16m 44s. Valmai 511 lim 28. The Jennie will now hold this Cup, the Valmai having held it for two seasons.

NOT A STRANGER TO RHYL. What we give in these columns week after week is not the word of strangers to Rhyl, whose evidence would be difficult to investigate, It is the word of Rhyl men and women, and the unmistakably hearty way they speak out is bound to impress us all. Following is a statement made by Mrs A Hughes, of 5, Vale View Terrace, Mill Bank, a well-known and respected resident of Rhyl. For many years I had suffered at intervals with pain in the back and loins," says Mrs Hughes. When I stooped the pain caught me severely, and I had difficulty in regaining" an upright position. Even while in bed the pain never left me, and I rose in the morning quite unrefreshened. Hearing so much of Doan's backache JÓd. ney pills, I decided to give them a trial, and I shall always be glad that I did so. I had not been taking them long before I found that my health was improving (generally. The pain was less severe, (and I ebgan to feel brighter and more active than I had felt for years. I am still taking Doan's pills, for J feel sure that I am on the way to a complete cure. T strong- ly recommend other sufferers to give them a --trial. -(Signed) Amy Hughes."

A DOMESTIC'S LAPSE. Mr J Frimston presided over a special police court on Friday last when Catherine Jones, a single woman, of 33, Sisson Street, was charged with being drunk arrd in- capable in Station Road at 11-30 on the previous night. P.C. Cheney told the court that he found the defendant laying in the roadway in a helpless condition, and she was quite unable to give any account of herself. Inspector Pearson said that defendant had been in several situations at Rhyl, and had gone down to Prestatyn to a situation, but she did not arrive there until late and the people refused to take her in at that time.-Ir Gamlin Where did she get the drink ?—P.C. Cheney replied that she only came to Prestatyn with the 9-37 p.m. train. The defendant, who had an ugly black eye, admitted the offence and expressed her sorrow, but denied that she was drunk when she went to Prestatyn. She had only had one glass of beer in Rhyl and two small whiskies in Pres- tatyn.—Mr Gamlin: Two small whiskies would not upset you like that. Defendant said she was very upset and nervous at not being able to go into her situation and the whiskey overcime her. An inclusive fine of 2/6 was imposed after the magistrate had appropri- ately lectured her. STAFF DINNER. On Friday evening, at the Grosvenor Hotel, the employees of Messrs Peter Edge, Limited, coaching proprietors, were enter- tained to dinner prior to the close of the season. Mr Peter Edge presided, and there were about 40 present. A first-class repast was served by Mr and Mrs A W James, and after the tables had been cleared a social an musical evening was spent. The toast of the firm was given, and in dealing with it, Mr Guest (a visitor from Manchester) paid a high tribute to the coaching staffs at Rhyl. He said he had coached in all parts of kingdom, and never met anywhere such an excellent lot of drivers, guards and attendants as there were in Rhyl, while the horses and vehicles were at the top of the tree. In particular he complimented Messrs Peter Edge, Limited, on their excellent service this season. Mr Peter Edge in responding to the toast referred to the splendid way the staff had worked this season, and expressed the hope that at the beginning of next year that each man would return to the posi- tion he had held this season. Dur- ing the evening numerous songs were rendered, and Mr and Mrs James were thanked for their splen- did catering. NONCONFORMISTS HARVEST THANKSGIVING. The Nonconformists of Rhyl have arranged for their harvest thanksgiving on Thursday next, and a request has been made to close business establishments. WEDDING. On Monday a pretty wedding was solemised at Christ Church, the contracting parties being Mr David Hare, of Crewe, and Miss Ada May George, of Water Street, Rhyl. Mr Leon of Preston, acted as best man, and the bride was given away by her father. She was attired in a cream cloth empire gown, and hat to match, and carried a bouquet of white flowers and heather. The bride was attended by her sister, Miss Elsie George, who wore an empire gown of straw- berry-colour cloth and black picture hat, also carrying a bouquet of lillies of the valley and pink carn- ations two little girls also attended the bride, they were Miss Amy George of Crewe (cousin of the bride), and Miss Gladys Hare of Crewe (neice of the bridegroom). They were gowned in white silk, with hats to match, and carried baskets of flowers, the gift of the bridegroom. After the ceremony, which was performed by the Rev E Jones, a reception was held at f the iv>v.: f ) iC j: House, Water Street, the guests numbering about 50. Later in the day the happy couple left for Black- pool, where the honeymoon will be spent. They received a very large number of useful and costly presents. A RAILWAY LECTURE. An interesting lecture is to be delivered at the Town Hall, on November loth, by Mr Stewart Scott, one of the London and North Western Railway Company's lect- urers. The arrangements are in the hands of the Advertising Asso- ciation, and it is understood that a small charge will be made with a view of ensuring that those who are really interested in the matter will be present. RAILWAY OFFICIALS IN RHYL. Last Sunday morning the plat- form staff at Euston paid a flying visit to Rhyl, the trip being organ- ised by" Ir Frank Taylor, who for many years was connected with the Chester and Holyhead section of the Railway. A special train ran from Euston to Rhyl without a stop in a little over four hours, breakfast being served en route. The weat- her was fine when the party reached their destination, and they were at once conveyed in coaches to various places of interest, and enjoyed themselves thoroughly. When the chief members of the party returned to Rhyl they were entertained at the Grosvenor Hotel by Mr A. Rhydwen Jones, Chairman of the Council, who was accompanied by Mr H. A. Tilby and Mr Frimston Mr Rhydwen Jones extended a very cordial welcome to the party and assured them that the people of Rhyl were always most ready to co-operate with the London and North Western Railway Company and their staff, as they realised that their interests were the same. He hoped that the men had had a pleasant day, and that they would return to London well satisfied with their outing.—Mr Tilby and Mr Frimston also spoke.—Mr Taylor in replying said that they had thor- oughly enjoyed themselves, and would return to London with a greater interest than ever. They realised that there were many attractions in the town for visitors apart from its climate, and those who had not been there previously could understand after seeing the place the inducements held out for so many to make the journey from Euston. During the past year the staff had recognised the increased numbers who were making their way to Rhyl and other towns on the North Wales coast, no doubt the increase was due to the co-oper- ation which was taking place be- tween the Company and the Ad- vertising Associations. v. ——-

Prestatyn. THE WESLEYAN BAZAAR. The bazaar at the Town IIalI. last week, promoted with a view of clearing off the debt on Bethel I Chapel, proved to be a most sue* cessful effort, and the organisers are to be congratulated upon the fact that they achieved their object, for ^200 was cleared which will liquidate the debt. On Friday the opening ceremony was performed by Mr Thomas Williams, C.C., Bradford House, and on Saturday by Mrs Hugh Edwards, of Canon- bury. The Rev Tryfan Jones, the Rev Mostyn Jones, Mr T Parry Williams, and Mr Ellis Roberts, the treasurer also prominently par- ticipated in the proceedings. MEMORIAL TO THE LATE VICAR. Mr Prescott. of High Street, has commenced the work in connection with the enlargement of the Parish Church, as a memorial to the late vicar. SUNDAY GOLF. There was a rumour prevalent in the town last week that a new golf course was to be laid out in consequence of the decision of the present Club to continue Sunday Golf, but after making diligent inquiries our representative has failed to find any foundation for such a report. The matter was only mentioned by several oppon- ents of Sunday Golf, but never ai any time assumed a definite shape. There is undoubtedly a strong feeling in the town against Sunday 'Golf, and the members of one of the best known chapels in the town complain as they were leaving chapel last Sunday; a lady and gentleman walked by in holiday attire, carrying golf clubs, etc. One Free Church minister states that in his opinion Sunday Golf will ruin the town. HARVEST THANKSGIVING. The Free Church Council are to meet shortly to fix the date of the Harvest Thanksgiving, but no ap- proximate date has yet been men- 1 I
