In the absence of the chair- man (Mr. J. E. Oldfield) it was passed that Mr. Mathews be the chairman. Councillor D. Roberts complained about the unsatisfac!ory condition of the path leading by Nantyfedw to Tyddyn Bach. The tenant, it was stated, had ploughed it up. It was passed that Messrs. Robert Hughes and D. Roberts should speak to Mr. O. Roberts, Bryncar, and ask him to put the path in proper order, so as to be fit for the children attending ihe Bettws School to walk it. It was passed to leave the le'ter of Mr. W. Wynne, water diviner, Bodfar>, re his terms for finding water at Rh dyfoel, for the present. It was also passed not to build a wall at the back of Bettws well for the present, although a letter had been read fiom Mr. D. MacNicoll expressing the willingness of his trustees, to allow the Council to build same on their land. Some of the members said that Bettws is too small for two waterworks to be paid for by the people. It was passed to ask the Postmaster-General to direct that the Bettws Postoffice should be open for public business from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the Trofarth Postoffice from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and that letters at Trofarth should not he collected till 4 p.in.

LLANDUDNO JUNCTION. SUNDAY SCHOOLS UNION.—At Sunday's meeting of the Broad-street Welsh Congrega- tional Church Sunday School, a letter was read from the church at Deganwy- street, Llandudno, suggesting a Union _of the schools of Llandud- no, Penrhynside, and the Junction.

THE REGISTRAR'S TEST.—At the Conway Coranty Court, on Thursday, a plaintiff from Llandudno Junctioii- was asked by the Registrar whether he had credited the debtor with a sum of 51s., and he replied in the negative. The Registrar, who was perusing a document—ap- parenftly a bill from the plaintiff to defendant— asked the former to write the word balance on a piece of paper, so that he could see it. This the plaintiff proceeded to do, and when the paper was handed uip to the Registrar, he said, I thought as much. You got that 5-S., you know." It appears that the spelling of the word balance by the plaintiff was the same as that which appeared on the bill, and that the hand- wtritimg was the same. ENGLISH PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.At the meeting of the Christian Endeavour, held on Tuesday night, at the above church, a very able paper was read by Miss Annie Jones, Chester House, the subject being taken from the Pil- grim's Progress Leaving the City of De- struction."

It will be remembered that the latter team beat the local men at Llandudno the previous Wednes- day in the Duncan Cup-tie, and keen interest was evinced in this match. Both teams were fairly well represented The game throughout was of a kick and a rush character, and at half- time the scores were level at two goals each. In the second half there were some shady tricks by the players on both sides, and the referee was somewhat slack in his decisions. Llandudno, by a combined effort, got through, and really on two other occasions they scored goals, but these were disallowed by the referee. The game ended in a win for the visitors by three goals to two.

IN MEMORIAM CARDS. Choice Designs in Stock. To be had at R. E. JONES & BROS'. Central Library, 8, Station-road, Colwyn Bay Rose Hill-street, and Bangor-road, Conway. 0 The Yorkshire Hussars Band at Colwyn Bay. The frosty weather last night (Wednesday) must have militated against many attending the splendid concert given, at the Pier Pavilion, Colwyn Bay, by the famous Band of the York- shire Hussars (3@ in number). Nevertheless there was a numerous audience to greet Band- master Mr. Cramer-Suckley, who has been ap- pointed the musical director of the Pier Pavilion concerts for the coming season. Upon his ap- pearance, in smart regimental uniform, he was well received. He is no stranger, we are pleased to say, to Colwyn Bay. The concert was opened with the selection from Wagner's majestic opera Tamihauser." rfŒ1ás was, needless to say, such a performance as at once proved the high efficiency of the band .under Mr. Cramer- Sucklcy's direction. The strains of this superb selection have been heard innumerable times within this Temple of Music, but never with more pleasing effect, as the performance was a very finished one. Then followed Guigilo Czardas, Deriner Armour," which was a very delightful performance. Miss Maud Holmes sang very delightfully When we're together." She is the possessor of a rich and sonorous contralto, voice, and well known in North Wales. She was rapturously encored, and gave Annie Laurie." A brilliant piccolo Molo by Musician J. Hiadfield, entitled The Cornet," was vociferously encored. The selec- tion from" Faust as rendered by the band was a remarkably fine one, and raised the en- thusiasm of the audience to a high pitch. A descriptive idyll, Tli, cotton picker's dream," by Cramer-Suckley, was one of the most enjoy- able items of the concert. It is a performance that must be heard to be properly appreciated. It may be said that Mr. Grainer-Suckley is a gentleman of very high musical culture, and one of the most unassiuiming and genial of men. We are of opinion that he will become quite a favourite with the residents as well as with the -visitors, and we wish him every success. The second part comprised a selection from the Egyptian Ballet," and Morceau Mignon "Tizi. letta," by Blau. Miss Maud Holmes sang very charmingly My dear soul," and was again en- cored. Sergeant John Paley, who is rightly called the world's greatest cornet player, gave a solo, Arbust lenian (Hartmann), which was loudly encored. The concert concluded with a thralling performance of Tlscháikowsky's 1812 grand overture solemnelle. A grand matinee performance is to be given this day (Thursday), at 3, and the final performance will be given to-night at 7.45.
