Representation of Merioneth. Since the meeting of the1 Executive Committee of the Merioneth Liberal Association Last Thursday at Barmouth, strong pressure has been put on Mr. Haydn. Jones, Towyu, to. offer him- self as a candidate for the representation of the county in Parliament's successor to Mr Osmond Williams. Mr. Haydn. Jones has now consented to, place himself in, the hands of the County As- sociation, and his name will be submitted to, tile local associations. There is every prospect of united action between the Liberal and Labour sections in the county. Mr. Haydn Jones is the honorary secretary of the Merioneth County Education. Authority and an alderman and ex- Chairm OIf the County Council. TRIBUTE TO MR. HAYDN JONES. The Manchester Guardian of Tuesday says:— The Liberals of Merionethshire in. pressing Mr. Haydn Jones, of Towyu., to offer himself for selection as the future candidate in succession to Mr. Osmond Williams., M.P., are following the line of popular expectation. Mr. Jones's in- timate relations with the fortunes; of the party in recent years and hi's influence as a leader in situations calling for clear and resolute action mark him out as the candidate to whom the constituency would look in the first instance. If the unofficial choice of the leaders is confirmed by the official v,ote,-and in a democratic con- stituency like Merionethshire confirmation must not be treated as am;atter of course—the county will have in Jones a sound and capable re- presentative of Liberal principles. He has been brought up in. the best Nonconformist tradi- tions his work throughout the education revolt showed that he attaches more value to political principles than to. political tactics., and his pre- T sence in the Welsh party would, on the whole, make for consistency and decision. He has not the burning eloquence of his. brother, the Rev. J. D. Jones, but he has a good administrative and constructive mind, and this perhaps is of more value just now in Welsh politics than rhetorical gifts. One point must not be over- looked. The labour interests in Merionethshire are considerable., and due weight must be given to. the fact in any arrangements the Liberals make as to the future representation, of the county.

A Popular Appointment. Mr John Owen, who for some time past has assisted the Board of Agriculture in promoting the administration of the Small Holdings Act, has now been officially appointed by the Presi- dent of the 'Board (Earl Carrington) as Assist- ant Inspector for Wales.

Fashionable Wedding in Colwyn Bay. TAYLOR—BUCKLEY. A fashionable wedding was witnessed at St. Paul's Church Colwyn Bay, on Monday, and excited much local interest. The contracting parties were Mr. James Taylor, of Mossley, near Oldham, eldest son of the late Mr. James Taylor, formerly Gas Manager to the Oldham Corpora- tion, and Laura, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Buckley, Appleton, Conway-road, Colwyn Bay. Beautiful weather prevailed and the event was of the most joyous character. A large number of the public had gathered at the Conway-road entrance to St. Paul's Church, and were thickly lining, on each side, the crimson- carpeted walk to the stately edifice. It is a long time since such interest was manifested in a local wedding. The large Church of St. Paul's was more than half-filled with friends and well-wishers, and the scene was one of brilliance, the ladies' toilettes being exceedingly attractive and pictur- esque. The ceremony was performed by the Vicar, Canon Hugh Roberts, assisted by the Rev. Rees Morris. As the bride entered the Church, leaning on the arm of her father, delightful music was heard pealing forth from the organ, presided over by Mr. Fred Wright, Organist of St: Margaret's, Hollinwood, Oldham. The bride was charmingly attired in an Empire gown of white Oriental satin, with tucked panel front and corsage trimmed applequé embroidery in silk and velvet with under- vest of tucked chiffon. She also wore a beautiful tulle veil, crowned with orange blossoms. Mr. Berty Taylor, of Carlisle (brother of the bridegroom), was best man, and the bridesmaids were Miss Ethel Taylor (sister of the bridegroom) and Miss Mabel Hoyles, Victoria House, Conway- road, Colwyn Bay. Both wore Empire gowns of pale blue silk eolienne with yokes of tucked net, and trimmed with passementerie and silver braid, and black picture hats with strings of tulle. The bride's mother was attired in a fancy black silk voile dress with trimmings of silk applequ6 and insertion, with undervest of tucked net. The bridegroom's mother wore a gown of amethyst faced cloth with vest and sleeves of lace, and trimmed with gold braid. The bride's travelling dress was a Reseda fancy faced cloth. The bride was given away by her father, and whilst the register was being signed glorious music was played. As the bridal party left the edifice they were showered with confetti. A reception was held afterwards at the Hotel Metropole, where the wedding breakfast was served in sumptuous style by Miss Grisdale. The floral decorations at this event were supplied by Mr. A. Askew, of the Conway-road Nurseries, and the magnificent wedding cake was supplied by Buckley's, Colwyn Bay, being the clever work of Miss Buckley herself. It was greatly admired and praised by the company, which included:- The bride and bridegroom, the Rev. Rees Morris, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Buckley, Mrs. Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Jackson, Mr. Smith, Mrs. Robin- son, Miss Robinson, Mr. J. H. Robinson, Mrs. Thompson, Mr. & Mrs. Hoyles, Miss Hoyles, Miss Taylor, Mr. and Mrs. R.

Flint and Denbigh Show at Colwyn Bay. APPOINTMENT OF LOCAL COLLECTOR. We learn that Mr. A. LI. Stevenson, of 8, Station-road, Colwyn Bay, has been appointed local collector to the Flint and Denbigh Show Society, whose annual show will this year, for the first time, be held at Colwyn Bay. Mr. Stevenson is a member of the well-known firm of G. Perkins & Co., who are the hon. auctioneers to the society. This being the society's first visit to Colwyn Bay, it is greatly to be hoped that townspeople and the inhabitants of the neighbourhood generally will co-operate most heartily in the work of ensuring the success of the show.

Victoria Pier, Colwyn Bay. ROLLER SKATING INCREASINGLY POPULAR. Roller-skating has caught on immensely at Colwyn Bay, and it is evident that the directors of the Victoria Pier have done a most popular thing in providing such an excellent al fresco rink. At all times of the day the devotees of the exhilarating and fascinating pastime are to be found gliding over the smooth surface to the accompaniment of the pleasing music of the very sweet band in attendance, whilst envious specta- tors watch their graceful movements and wish for similar pleasures. The glorious weather of the past week has served to enhance the gaiety of the scene and enjoyment of the skaters, but even though the elements were to become unkind they would not be able to spoil sport," as an awning is provided which will effectually protect the skaters from shower or storm. By the young ladies-both visitors and residents —and especially by the pretty ones, the keenest possible interest is being taken in the new pastime. And there is good reason for this. The charmers have discovered that not only is roller-skating capital fun, with just the right amount of excite- ment thrown in, but it has also the effect of adding to one's gracefulness of figure and carriage-surely a splendid recommendation. But it is on its social side that the new game is chiefly appreciated, and in this respect it supplies a long-felt want at Colwyn Bay, where such advantages have been only too few in the past. It is, therefore, evident that the Pier al fresco Skating-rink is bound to prove an invaluable addition to Colwyn Bay's attractions. Under the strict supervision of the general manager (Mr. Renault Eldrid), the rink is being conducted on the most approved lines, and there is a staff of efficient instructors and skate-boys. The rink floor is now getting into perfect condition. Another enjoyable feature is the provision made for teas in the opea-air in the Continental style, a feature which is popular with both skaters and spectators, and one which is making the Pier the fashionable rendezvous for Colwyn Bay visitors.

Fashionable Wedding at Conway. Yesterday (Wednesday) morning a very fashion- able, although quiet wedding was solemnised at the ancient Parish Church, the contracting parties being Mr. Charles Mallowdew Lees, Cartre Melus, and Miss Lilian Beatrice Grindrod, Derwen Deg. The church had been beautifully decorated with flowers sent down by Mrs. Lees, and some time before the ceremony was to commence there was a large attendance of friends and well-wishers in the church. The bride, who was most beautifully attired, was attended as bridesmaids by her sister, Miss Lucy Grindrod, and the best man was Mr. J. Mills Grindrod (brother of the bride). The service was choral, and on the arrival of the bride in the church Mr. Bridge Roberts played the bridal march on the organ. The Vicar (the Rev. J. W. Roberts) conducted the ceremony, and he was assisted by the Curate (the Rev. J. Davies). The guests included Captain and Mrs. Fowler, Mr. and Mrs. Holt, Mr. Granville Holt, Master Basil Fowler, Mr. and Mrs. Crump, Mr. and Mrs. Hargreaves, Mr. and Mrs. Keeling, Mr. and Mrs. Pollit, the Rev. J. W. Roberts and Mrs. Roberts, and Miss Paterson. After the ceremony, and as the wedding party was leaving the church, the organist beautifully played Mendelssohn's wedding march, and the couple left amidst showers of confetti and rice, and the good wishes of those who had assembled. The wedding breakfast was held at Derwen Deg, the residence of the bride, and all the cottages en route were gaily decorated with bunting, the occupants shouting their good wishes as the bridal party went by. The bride and bridegroom left by the 3-45 p.m. from the Junction, en route for London, where the honeymoon will be spent. Mr. Lees is very popular in Conway, and the presents which both received were both numerous and costly. Mr. Lees is a Freemason. He is Past Master of the Trillo Lodge, Secretary of the Lodge, and Past Provincial Grand Organist. In the Koyal Arch he is the M.E.Z. in the Connovium Chapter 2569, and he is Past Provincial Grand Director of Ceremonies. In the Mark he is Past Master of the St. David's Lodge 38, Llan- dudno, and Past Provincial Grand Standard Bearer, and at present he is the Provincial Treasurer. In the Knight's Temple he is Second Constable and Past Provincial Grand Standard Bearer. The carriages were supplied by Mr. S. Norbury, of the Erskine Hotel, Conway.

Deacons and Drink. TOTAL ABSTINENCE A CONDITION OF OFFICE. An interesting discussion ensued at the quarterly meetings of the Calvinistic Methodist Association, held on Tuesday at Menai Bridge, upon a com- munication received from the London Monthly Meeting, urging that the Association should adopt uniform rules with the view of ensuring that all church officers should be total abstainers from all intoxicating liquors. The Rev. John Roberts (Portmadoc) recognised the importance of the Question, and thought it highly desirable that all officers should be total abstainers, but he feared that at the moment it" would be impracticable to proceed to the extent of applying compulsion, as was done by the South Wales Association. In order that the question should receive maturer consideration, he moved that the question be deferred pending enquiries by the Temperance Committee. The Rev. Francis Jones (Abergele), in seconding the proposal, declared that personally he would never have known the taste of fermented wine were it not that he became a church member. It would be regrettable, in his opinion, to legislate in advance of the people's convictions. A Flintshire delegate pointed out that no person was elected a deacon in that county unless he consented to sign the pledge. According to the Rev. William Owen (Liverpool), the same rule applied to Liverpool, where church officers never raised any objection to becoming abstainers. He deprecated settling the question by the drafting of petty rules. The Rev. Wynn Davies (Bangor) apprehended that there was very good reason for pressing the question upon the attention of the Association, in- asmuch as complaints were not wanting that church officers were not so clear of this evil as they ought to be. Recently the church was face to face with the enemy, and to all outward appearances emerged vanquished from the fray. There was therefore every reason why the Association should take up an unmistakable attitude. Mr. William Evans (Liverpool) said that every officer in his church was an abstainer. He was anxious that the Association should create such an atmosphere as would make it impossible for any but total abstainers to hold offices in the churches. Dr. Collins Lewis (Denbigh) twitted the Associa tion upon the fact that a large body of ministers attending that meeting put up at one of the local' hotels—(laughter). As a medical man, he most earnestly declared that it was undesirable to adjourn the decision even for twelve months. Further discussion followed, and eventually the proposal to defer consideration of the question was adopted.

Welsh Football Dispute. ABERYSTWYTH'S PROTEST. The Council of the Welsh Football Associate" met at Shrewsbury on Monday afternoon for the purpose, among other business, of dealing with & curious situation arising out of the semi-final 0 the Welsh Amateur Cup, played at Portmadoc, on April 3rd, when Carnarvon beat Aberystwyth by two goals to one. After careful inquiry the Council decided to dismiss Aberystwyth's protest, and Carna I-votl will now meet Oak Alyn Rovers in the fina1 a Colwyn Bay next Saturday.

It is the fashion to be very flippant nowadays, and to jeer a. good deal at the great emotions; but that is all a po'se. Men and women love as much as ever they did.-MT. Frank Worthing in the New Yoark American."

Honouring Madame Riviere. The name oi 'Mada'me Riviere is a household one in and aircrand Colwyn Bay. She is deserv- edly revered for her good works. As the Lady President of the Colwyn Bay and District Hor- ticultural Society she has dorue noble and self- sacrificing services of which the Society are nat- urally proud. A very pleasing function in coni- nection with the latter took place yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon at Madame Riviere's charming bungalow residence, "Riviera," when the Committee of the said 'Horticultural Society presented their Lady President with six speci- men shrub 9 in. recognition of her keen interest in the Society. The following ladies and gentlemen assembled at three o'clock to witness the ceremony —Mr. David Gamble, J.P., Chairman of the Urban. District Council, and Mirs. Gamble; Mr. Walter Whitehead. (President, 1908), Mir. Charles Rey- nolds (ex-Presidlenrt), Mr. T. E. Purdy (Chair- man), Mr. W. H. Bourne (Hon. Treasurer), Mir. 'OhaIiles 'Hartley (Vice-Chairman, 1908), Miss Prieece, Mr. R. Thompson. J.P., Mr. and Mms. W. T. Plews, Mr. Jackson (Vice-Chairman), Mir. 'Haliliwell, !Miss Jackson, Barradene; Mr. Wailter Groom (Secretary) and Mrs. Groom, Mr. W. Owen, and Mir. Stone, Brilliant sunshine, with a fresh sea breeze, favoured the event, and the pretty garden wa,s brightened by several flags. The following were the plaints.: -Picea Parryana Glauica, planted at the request of the Society by Madame Riviere Picea Magnifies, planted by Mr. Walter White- head, J.P. Picea Nobilis Glauica, planted by Mr. Charles Reynolds1, J.P. Prnus Cembra, plan/tied by Mr. C. Hartley; Pinus Insignis, planted: by Mir. W. H. Bourne, and Picea Pin- sapo, planted by Mr. T. E. Puirdy. The shrubs were supplied by (Messrs. Dickson and Sons, of Chester, and subscribed for by the members of the Committee. The ground had been kindly prepared for the ceremony by Mr. Thomas Jones of the Nursery Gardens, Rhosr which kindness much appreciated. An adjOiulfinrment was afterwards made to the handsome drawing-room, where a short meeting was held. Mr. Whitehead presided. Mr. T. E. Pluirdv said, as Chairman, of the Society, on behalf of the Committee, he had great pleasure in formally presenting the shrubs to Madame Riviere. She was their very esteemed Lady President. The Committee had unanimous- ly subscribed towards the event, and he was glad that they had alii turned up, and he hoped Madame Riviere would accept the gift in the spirit in which it was given. It was to some- what show the deep appreciation the Committee had of the splendid work done by her for the Horticultural Show, and Cfoflwyn Bay in particu- lar. He had received letters of apology for non- attendance fmm Mr. J. J. Woofer, the President of the Society, who was indisposed, and from Mais. Edern,, .Mr. Edge, and Mr. Faulkner. He had pleasure in formally presenting the shrubs to Madame Riviere. (Applause.) Madame Riviere then made the following graceful little speech Gentlemen. I thank you very sincerely for your gifts < nd compliment you have paid me by planting these lovely shrubs this afternoon in my .garden. I don't deserve so sweet a remetm- foerance! If, in my slender power, I have ac- corded any helip to oiuir Society, it has ever been a source of great pleasure to me. I fail to ex- press how much I appreciate the good senti- ments, the kindness of your delightful souvenir. I look forward to see these beautiful shrubs thrive year by year, to cheer me, and to cheer those who look upon them, for a well tended garden brings a deep feeling of pileasure and de- light in one's life! Gentlemen, again I thanik you very cordially May I just add a remainder how very glad I shall be when the summer show can be arranged for two days-the first as an. extra attraction to the subscribers, and, in case of bad weather, the second would be a boon in many ways. With the present up-to-date manafgamemt will doubt- less become one of Co-lwyn^Bay's leading at- tractions to residents, and visitors the Horticul- tural Society continue to prosper more amd more as the years pass. (Applause.) Mr. 'Charles Reynolds, J.P., said he also wished to thank Madame Riviere for her excel- lent work and delightful concerts. What she had dane no one could d;) it as well as she did herself. It gave him great pleasure to be pre- sent, and he hoped Madame Riviere would live to see the shrubs become handsome plants. (Ap- plause.) Mr. Charles 'Hartley paid a high tribute to Madame Riviere, who had boldly come to the rescue of the .Society when it was in low water. It was all, through the efforts of Madame Riviere that they were now in such a good financial position. (Applause,.) 'Mr. Whitehead, J.P., said he wished to thank their hostess in advance for her hospitality that afternoon. That was a little but important cere- mony that afternoon,, and he again wished to thank her for what we are about to, receive." (Laughter.) Tea was afterwards served, during which Miss Aimee Bebb sang Do Riegor's Happy Song."

Rural Postman Fined. DELAY TN DELIVERING LETTERS. At Ruthin, on, Monday, Thomas David Jones (18), auxiliary postman attached to' the Llaneli- dan POGt Office, was summoned for negleotihg to use due diligence and speed in the deliver- ing of letters. iMir Matheson, who, prosecuted for the Post- master General, stated that the charge referred to the 14th uilt. and other dates. The lad's box at his home was ise.arched, and 50 circulars and a large number of letters were found undeliv- ered', some of them being aboiut two months old. Eleven of the letters had been opened by the de. fendant, but it was not .suggested that they had been opened for the sake of appropriating their contents, but rather that the defendant had sought to find out whether there was any need of delivering them quickly or not. Many circu- lars alleged to have been poisted had not been delivered at all. In reply to the Bench, it was stated that the full extent of the prisoner's walk was nine miles, but that on most days be had not to walk this distance, there being no letters to deliver. The Bench fined the defendant £5 and 3 3s. costs. His father paid the money.

Music by the Sea. THE VICTORIA PIER AND PAVILION CONCERTS. Colwyn Bay, in this glorious springtime, looks at its best. The weather has been beautiful* and reminiscent of balmy June. It is such that the joyous side of life is appreciated to the full- The Victoria Pier and Pavilion Directors are to be congratulated upon supplying the town with such a first-class orchestra in, their Temple of Music so early in the season. Without such rriLiisic, Colwyn Bay wculd indeed lack a great attraction, and as the Directors have a band that is worthy of the name of the town, it only re- mains for the visitors and residents to show their appreciation of their efforts by giving the enterprise the practical support it deserves. There is one delightful feature in connection with Mr Cramer-Suckley's orchestra that is quite worthy of recording, and that is that there has not been heard, one disparaging word about it. The c.apious critics, who are always on the alert for any flaws, have been silenced in this instance. There has been a charming introduction off muisical novelties and some fine works by the best masters during the past week, and it is pleasing to hear at each concert the highest en- comiums upon the orchestra and its talented con- ductor. Of course, ODr Easter visitors have fled, but there remains a gooddy number of others in the town, who. appreciate the mu-sical treats pro- vided. The Alexandra Ladies' Quartette com- pleted a very successful week's engagement on Saturday, as did also the magician, Mr Louis Nikola. On Thursday evening Mir H. C. Hunter gave & very diverting bassoon solo-, Lucy Long," and Rachmaninoff's celebrated Prelude was intro- duced for the first time at these concerts. On Friday evening, Mir Frank A. Davis gave a de- Ihghltful viola solo,, Chamson Ceiltiq.ue (Cecil), and Forsyth's .Allegro from Concerto,, and for the first time in Colwyn Bay, Grieg's Grand Suite, Sigard Iorselfor," were rendered m splendid fashion. At this concert Miss Duniford sang the ever-popular vocal waltz of Al;d;iti's:, 11 Baccio." On Saturday evening Miss Louie James, the local mezzo-soprano, appeared for the first time at these concerts. Miss James was suffering from a severe cold, but she determined upon fulfilling her engagement. Perhaps Miss James erred on. this occasion in not selecting son.g.s that were more familiar to the public taste. The audience, nowever, heartily applauded Miss James' efforts under such disadvantages. Mr Harold Jones gave a violin solb, Hungarian Rhapsodie" (Mauser), in very acceptable style. ,Oln Sunday evening Mr David Evanis, who is a great favourite at Colwyn Bay, made his first appearance of this season, and was in excellent voice.^ He sang the well known Sullivan mel- ody, Thoiu'rt Passing Hence/' and It is Enough." He was, rapturously received, and to say that Mr David Evans further established himself in the hearts of the audience as one of the very best vocalists of the season, is saying a. deal Colwyn Bay likes Mr David Evans, and Mr David Evans likes Colwyn Bay audiences. M'r Evans appears throughout the week, and all who. love good singing, should not fail to hear him. Miss Louie James sang The Work- er and Jesu, Lover of my Soul," and the con- cert terminated with the hymn "All people that on earth do. dwell." During the week Mr. David Evans has gained tresh triumphs by his beautiful singing, and on Monday a pleasing alto solo, was given, by Mr. F. W. Hague, and a cornet solo by Mr. W. S. ,W^'T 'Le Better Land." One of the most delightful features of Monday's concert was the 'Hungarian Rhapsodlie, No. 2, of Liszt's. This was a performance of the great composer's works in which the whole of the orchestra vied with pjVing the true expression, to Liszt s grtoiutos wiark It was the ideal Ifflterpre- tation Oif the great masterpiece. Miss Edith L. John, contralto, is the new vocalist for next week, and we are glad to team that Mr. David Evans has been re-engaged for another week. On Saturday evefl- illllg Mr. Vivian Foster, the popular entertainer, will make his first appearance at Colwyn, Bay-

Neither side was fully represented, and the game had all air of istialeness about it. It was a match that ,i'd call for any special comment, and ended in a draw, neither side being able to score.

COAST JUNIOR LEAGUE. DENBIGH RESERVES v. COLWYN BAY RESERVES. Played at Denbigh on Saturday in miserable weather, rain. falling during the. major portion off the game. Mr. Jones, Holywell, was the reo feree, and the teams,: Denbigh Reserves: F. Jones, gool; J). Hughes and Percy Cartwright, backs- h' Cart- wright, C. Myddileton, and W. Toh'nson, half bacJas; R. A.

Tlhe visitors won the toss, but play throughout was of a very poor character, Del" bigh having the advantage in numbers and be' ing also at home, but Ineither side scored, 811, though one shot of Price's seemed to have en- tered the top of the met and rebounded inrt play. Parry played marvellously between. th« sticks, and: the backs defended well the h&tf backs ably assisting, but the forwards did n<* have a chance of scoring. For Denbigh t'lle goalkeeper had practically nothing to do tl1 backs doing alil that was needful. H. Cartwrigkj: seeims to have dropped off lately, and the backs were throughout not up to. their u standard. Price showed grit in, the forward 11 which did not work with the cohesion necessa^ for success. Len Lewis was not in his beSlt form, but perhaps the weakness of his parwef t. accounted for this. Lloyd was not a success at centre forward, while Millward was rarely see¡!
