CAERHUN.
CAERHUN. WEDDING.—Yesterday (Wediiesday) a very pretty wedding took place at the old and pic- turesque Church of Caerhrun, the contracting parties being Mr David Davies, younger son of Mr and Mrs Davies, Red. Lion Hotel, Tyn'y- gmoes, and Miss M. J. Roberts, only daughter of the late Mr Moses Roberts and Mrs Roberts, Maescastell Farm, Caerhun. Both families are welil-knowm in the neighbourhood. Miss Ro- berts has for a number of years filled the post of organist of the Parish Church. A consider- able number of friends assembled at the Church and witnessed the ceremony. The officiating minister was the Rev. J. W. Roberts, Vicar of Conway, assisted by the Rev. D. Price, Rector of the parish. The bride, who was dressed in white cashmere, and carried a beautiful bou- quet of lilies of the valley, was given away by her brother, Mr. W. Roberts. The bridesmaid, who also was daintily dressed in white, was Miss Gracie Davies, sister of the bridegroom, and the best man was Mr J. ix. Noble, Colwyn Bay. After the service the wedding party drove to the Station Hotel, Llandudno Junction, where the wedding breakfast was served. After- wards the young couple left by the 2.15 p.m. train for Ilfracomlbe, where the honeymoon will be spent. There wp's a numerous array of pre- sents received by the bride and bridegroom.
Skating as an Art.
Skating as an Art. AMERICAN EXPERT'S VIEWS. Professor Davidson, the well-known. roller skating expert, who. is giving demonstrations of skating at the Olympia Rink, Rochdale, while in Manchester gave some rather interesting views on the craze, or, as the professor himself pre- ferred to call it. the art" of rinking (says the Daily Dispatch "). I have been skating practically all my life," said Mr Davidson, reminiscsntly, from the time that I was able to. walk. I was bom in St. Paul, Minnesota, America, and I came from one of the greatest families of skaters that has ever been produced in the history of the art. Roller skating is an art and not a craze. It is unquestionably an art. There is work of a most delicate kind to be perfected in roller skat- ing—work that requires patience and persever- ance if the highest degree of proficiency is to be attained. My father," added Mr Davidson, was the pioneer rink-builder in the States, back in the eighties, and I recollect as a child being on one of his rinks which covered, by the way, an entire block, and was one of the largest rinks in the world. It was perfectly natural, therefore, that my brothers and sisters and myself should take to the art of skating as a duck takes to water. How long have you been, in England? I landed here on February 7th, and have spent most of my time skating in London rinks. I have also appeared in the provinces and in Ireland, and am now at the Olyrnpia Rink, Rochdale. I was fortunate enough in starting my pro- fessional career in 1897 at Tattersall's Rink, Chicago.. The art of skating has developed won- derfully since that time there, and there are now in. Chicago, close on two hundred rinks, all of which are doing very successful buanness. There is no diminishing in their numbers either. So far as the art is concerned in England its course will necessarily, I guess, be the same as in America. You do not regard its pre-sent popularity as a mere flash in the pan? By no means." Mr Davidson pointed out that even before the present popularity of the pastime there were many rinks, more particularly in London, which were remarkably well patronised. If such rinks could survive, why, he pertinently asiked, could not those built recently in the other parts of the country ?

Conway Corporation. -
Conway Corporation. The Mayor (Dr. M. J. Morgan) presided at the monthly meeting of the Corporation yesterday (Wednesday). The other members present were: Alderman Dr. R. Arthur-Prichard, Alderman W. M. Sever, Councillors James Porter. Hugh Owen, John Williams, Fred J. Jones, Edward Jones, Dr. W. Carter, Henry Jones, Robert Jones, and A. J. Oldman, with the Town Clerk (Mr. T. E. Parry), the Medical Officer (Dr. Travis), the Borough Engineer (Mr. F. A. Delamotte), the Borough Accountant (Mr. Hugh Parry), the Rate Collector (Mr. T. M. Jones), and the Gas Manager (Mr. Dixon). PAINTING THE BRIDGE. Nine tenders were submitted for the painting of the Conway Bridge. By a majority it was decided to accept the lowest—at -4 147 10s.—by Mr. J. Arundale, City Road, Bradford. PROPOSED NEW FOOTPATH. Negotiations have been going on between the Rev. Francis G. Jones and the Council with respect to the proposal to provide a footpath from Cadnant Park to a point below Machno-terrace on the Mountain side. This, it was stated, the rev. gentleman had agreed to. An inspection of the proposed route was made, and a letter from the Rev. F. G. Jones, bearing on this matter, was referred to the Highways Committee. The Local Government Board wrote agreeing to confer on the Council certain powers under Section 33 of the Local Government Act of 1894, with reference to the appointment of Assistant Overseers for the Parish of Llanrhos. The Town Clerk explained that the difference between the county rate basis and the Parish of Conway was L 1554, and between Llanrhos parish and the County it was £727, making a total of £228r. The county rate was averaged at about 1/6 to 2/- in the jQ, and this meant about £ 250 annually. On the proposition of Mr. Oldman, it was de- cided to give the Assessment Committee power to act in the two cases mentioned. A JOINT EDUCATION COMMITTEE. The Town Clerk was instructed to supply the members with a copy of the proposed scheme for establishing a Joint Education Committee for training college purposes for the counties of Car- narvon, Denbigh, Anglesey, and Flint. PROPOSED HIGHER GRADE SCHOOL. According to (notice, Councillor Henry Jones proposed that the Council apply to the County Council to contribute towards a higher-grade school for the borough. Bangor, Llandudno, and Colwyn Bay, he said, were enjoying the privilege of having such schools, and they appeared to be quite, isolated in Conway. Numbers of Conway children attended these schools under a dis- advantage. If such a school were opened in Con- way, there was no doubt that a great many would be benefited by it. Alderman Prichard said that the County Coun- cil had no power to vote money for Intermediate Schools. Councillor Oldman seconded the proposition, and said that children from the neighbourhood had to go to a neighbouring town in a neighbour- ing county to get higher education at one-sixth the fees that were charged at the Carnarvonshire County School. He also suggested that they ask for the support of the neighbouring authorities in the matter, in order to prevent children going to neighbouring counties and allow the parishes to reap the benefit of the grant earned by the children. Inasmuch as they paid so much money to the County Education Committee, they were certainly justly entitled to more consideration in the borough. Councillor James Porter supported the motion, stating there was a great deal more sense in getting a higher-grade school for the borough than in endeavouring to plant an elementary school in the parishes of Gyffin and Llangelynin. If the Local Education Authority would consider, they would see that the money they proposed to spend in Gyffin, Llangelynin, or Conway was not wanted. The Conway Schools could accommo- date the whole of the pupils who attended or wanted to attend Gyffin and the money, he con- sidered, would be far better spent in providing a higher-grade school. If they would consult those living in the locality and arrange a public meeting, and listen to those who knew some- thing about the neighbourhood, they would at once abandon the idea. They in Conway were overdone with public elementary schools, and they had more accommodation than children. Children went to different places, and if a building like the Old College was up to the requirements of the Act that governed higher-grade schools, he thought it would be of great benefit. He sin- cerely hoped that a policy of common sense would be used, and that a public inquiry into the matter would be held. The Mayor said he had felt for many years that they should have a higher-grade school in Conway. The terms of the county schools were too high for the working-man. After further discussioli the proposition was agreed to. THE MUNICIPAL OFFICES. A certificate for £ 400 was granted the con- tractors of the new Municipal Offices, and a com- mittee, composed of Messrs. Hugh Owen, Ed. Jones, and Henry Jones, was appointed to see to the furnishing.

Llanrwst Urban District Council.
Llanrwst Urban District Council. A special meeting of the Council was held on Tuesday evening, Mr. H,. J. W. Watling pre- siding. There were: also present Dr. Hiuw Wil- Liams, Messrs. R. Mills,, W. J. WTilliamis, D. J. Williams, William Hughes, William Jones, and John Williams; with the Clierk (Mir. R. R. Owen), the Surveyor (Mr. George Wynne), and the Lighting Inspector (Mr. T. R. Jones.). DUST LAYING. A letter was, read from, Mr. A. LlOyd Griffith, solicitor, Secretary of the North. Wales Auto- mobile Oluib, stating that the Cilub were pire pared to supply to the Council a sufficient quantity of calcium chllJolrum for the purpose of allaying the dust nuisance on the district roads.. The Council would have to bear the expense off laying the same on the roads. The Surveyor said that he had heard good re- ports of this preparation from other districts, that it answered the purpose better than any- i'ng else. Llandudno was one of those places. Mr. D. J. Williams proposed that they accept the offer. The Chairman, said that the general complaint about these, dust-laying preparations was that they left the roads slippery; but he had had a conversation with Mr. Petitt regarding this, and he assured the speaker that this preparation did not leave the roads in that condition. The proposal was seconded by Mr. Albert Hughes and the offer was unanimously accepted. MAIN ROADS. Respecting the contract with the County Council for the maintenance of the main roads at a cost of £330, which had been decided at the last meeting, it was resolved that the seal of the Council be affixed to the same. SMOKE NUISANCE. A letter from Mr. George Harrison, Denver House, which was read at the last meeting, and referred to this special Council, complained of a smoke nuisance arising out of two neighbour- ing houses. The Surveyor explained the position of the chimneys, and after a discussion it was decided that the Clerk be instructed to write to both parties calling their attention, to the matter, as well as to Mr. Harrison, stating what they had done in the matter. POPLAR GROVE DRAINAGE. A petition from the residents, of Poplar Grove and others affected was again brought before too notice of the Councill, aslking that the Council should take immediate steps to provide drain- age for the sewage in the above district. Mr. D. J. Williams asked if the Surveyor thought that suitable drainage could be made there. The Surveyor replied that it could be done, and he had) made plans of the same a few years ago. The Clerk said that three years ago. they ap- proachedi Major Ashley, through Mr. Allard, with a view of gettinit germs for taking the same through Soowlyn Bach. The Chairman thought there would be a dlanger of the Conservators coming on them it they deposited it into the river. The: Surveyor explained that it would be fil- tered before reaching there, and only the over- flow would run out of the tank. It was eventually agreed' that MI. Allard again be written to for terms, as well as Mr. Titley Williams, whose land adjoined. FOOTPATHS. It was resolved that the footpath leading over the railway bridge from the Rectory to St. Mary's Church be gravelled at an, estimated cost of CS T SS. od.

The Clerk said that since, their last meeting he had received a letter from Mr. 0. Isgoed Jones, which read as follows:- Plasyndre, Llanrwst, 18th May, igog. nar Sir,—-1 beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 13th instant with enclosure, which were delivered during my absence from home. Mr. Davies, nry solicitor, did receive the letter of which you sent mje a copy, but he did not consider that it called for a reply, because he had already sent a reply to a similar com- munication addressed to. his firm by Messrs. Baker and Co. on your behalf. I intimated to YIOUÍtlll my last letter that all further corres- pondence would have to go through my solici- tors, but as a matter of courtesy I am replying to you direct. I have really nothing to add to what my solicitors and I have already com- municated to you, but I may .say this, that what- ever transpired between, me and the inspector, I am quite prepared, nay, pleased, to accept your assurance that he did not come to me in the way he did with your authority. You must, how- e-ver, admit that it was rather significant that be should have come to me on the very day on which my ultimatum, so to speak, expired, es- pecially having regard to. the fact that my solici- tors' communications had been addressed to* vou only. At the same time, I don't wish to discuss the matter further, as I am glad to have the op- portunity of accepting your assurance. Believe me to be Yours: faithfully, 0. ISGOED JONES. Mr. R. R. Owen, Union Office, Llanrwst. The Clerk You will observe, gentlemen, that although Mr. Jones's letter is not, in words, a withdrawal of the statement I complained of, yet he accepts my assurance that the Inspector had no authority from me to say what Mr. Jones allages he did say. The Chairman Then the hatchet is buried. 'The Clerk So far as I am concerned, it is.

Death of Mr. Wm. Bevan,
Death of Mr. Wm. Bevan, J.P., Llandudno. It was with profound regret that the people of Llandudno, and indeed of North Wales, heard on Saturday of the death of Mr. William Bevan, J.P., one of its gifted townsmen who had helped to. make Llandudno what it is. Mr. Bevan, who was in his 68th year, was a man much admired for his many sterling qualities, for he was nothing unless straightfor- ward and conscientious in all that he did. For many years he was an able administrator of the town's affairs, and helped to a large ex- tent to gain the popularity for Llandudno that it now enjoys. Although he did. not take an acuve part in politics he was an ardent Conservative during the whole of his life, and not a Liberal,, as has been stated' in the daily Press. He was a native of the Gower Peninsula in South Wales, and was descended from one of the Flemish families, whose progeny inhabit that locality. His father was an Inland Revenue officer, and in 1862 Mr. Bevan came from South Wales to Llandudno, when it was little more than a fishing hamllet, andi settled down there. Three years afterwards he married Miss Jonels,. daughter of the late Mr. Job Jones, of the Light- house. He became a member of the old Board of Commissioners, who in those days had their headquarters in Church Walks; in the year 1875, and from thence until his retirement 26 years later, he continued to. take a large share in the management of the affairs of Llandudno-, both as a member of the old Board of Commis- sioners and the District Council. Many a time he headed the poll, and was Chairman of the Local Authority in 1882, again in 1891, and for the third time in igoo. For 20 years he was a member of the Llandudno. School Board, and for 17 years in, succession during that period was Chairman of that body. Hris interest in, matters relating to. national education was strong, and his genial and digni- fied character won for him many admirers. Some years ago he was placed, on the Com- mission of the Peace for Carnarvonshire, and for a period of 28 years was President. of the Public Newsroom and Library, until the estab- lishment was handed over last year to. the Urban District Council. Mr. Bevan was a member, almost from its foundation, of the Llandudno. English Presby- terian Church. For many years he was a mem- ber of the Llandudno. Pier Compay directorate. By his death Llandudno, loses a valued towns- man and a link with the earlier days of the town. He leaves a widow and several sons and daughters to mouTm, his loss. At Colwyn Bay much sympathy is being ex- pressed with County Councillor George Bevan J.P.. a nephew of the departed gentleman, with whom he spent a portion of his youth and young manhood at laindudno. IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL. The funeral of the late Mr. William Bevan, J.P., of Gowerdale, Llandudno, took place yes- terday (Wednesday), amldist general manifesta- tions of mourning. The blinds were drawn in the houses in the immediate vicinity of Gowetr- date, and also in the shops of the town. The popularity of the late Mr. Bevan. was shown by the large attendance of the general public, for he was much respected by every grade of the in- habitants. The flag"of the Town Hall was float- ing at half-mast, and others from the public buildings and hotels. Gotwerdale is situated close to the Council Schools, and, there was a touch of pathos when the flag was seen flying half-mast upon the spot where Mr. Bevan had interested himself so much in the cause of edu- cation. The service at the house was conducted 01 the Rev. W. Phillips, M.A., co-pastor of the English Presbyterian Church, of which the late- Mr. W. Bsvan was a mernbet. Praver was offered by the Rev. John Raymond. At the churchyard the Rector (the Rev. LI. R. Hughes), assisted by two. curatas, officiated. The cortege went up to St. Tudtno's Churchyard by the new route, and the chief mourners and members of the public ware conveyed in fourteen pair-horse carriages supplied by the Llandudno Coaching Company, under the direction of the manager, Jr. C. A. Hutton. The Urban District Council was almost fuLly represented, together with the officials. Deputy Chief Constable William Rees and a posse of police were also present. A large number of the leading townsmen were also, present to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of one who was so much beloved. Following the hearse, which bore a massive polished coffin with brass mountings, were the employees of the Pier Company, in uniform and under the command of Captain John Roberts. Then followed a landau laden with an abund- ance of the most choice exotics upon a massive pall. The following were the chief mourners:—Mr. George Bevan (son.), Mr. Hedley Bevan (son), Mr. Joseph Winter (son-in-law), M.r. J. P. Dun- phy (son-in-law), Mr. R D.
