REYNOLDS' ROYAL SERE, ',NAD,ERS.-I:he pleasant haunt where 'Harry Reynolds and his Serenaders daiLy and nightly amuse large throngs is a favourite spot, and the red-coated members of the troupe are, as usual, great favourites. Mr. Reynolds is continually add- ing new novelties to. his entertainments., and many new concerted items are particularly ac- ceptable. The performances as the season, goes on are becoming more clever—excellent as they have been from the commencement. The Ser- enaders gave their first special night of the sea- son on Wednesday last before an enormous clna highly appreciate audience. This company has long, been famous, for its versatility and' enter- prise, but never do we remember witnessing a rnore enjoyable and varied programme ttlan was presented by them on Wednesday night. The company includes several artistes of much talent and originality, but it is such an excellent all- round company that every artiste seems a neces- sary unit to the combination.. They shine equailily in singing, dancing, concerted items, or the droll burlesques; for which they have long been renowned. Every new item went with a swing, but we must particularise the new and QTigdirual laughing quartette, and the original v°cal. trio, Gentle Lady," written and com- posed for this company by Charles Elstree, the Prima donna of the company, a gentleman Wrth a wonderful soprano- voice. Many other new concerted items were introduced. The famous musical1 scene, Miandy's Wedding," was reproduced., in which the whoile company appeared. Some new and very pretty scenery was introduced) in this item for the first time, giving a very charming effect. The wihole con- cluded with the screaming sketch, Marks, the Lawyer," with Mr. Harry Reynolds in the chief comedy part. These special Wednesdiay nights( are to be continrued througihorut the season. REYNOLDS' ANIMATED PICTURES.— Amrimated photography has undoubtedly come to stay, and, never1 has it been produced, in better form than, at present. The rapid strides made in this direction during the last year or two, especially in colouring, is most remark- able. Last week's programme at the Public Hal1 was very good indeed but this week even better; in fact, we may say it is one of the strongest entertaining programmes Mr. Rey- nolds has submitted since he opened the hall in January last. Space does not permit us to detail every picture, but special mention must be made of A glorious tour through the land of the Midinigiht Sun," beautifully coloured1; "An interesting wedding in Brittany Stranded Actor," cleverly played and full of comedy; a heavy dramatic subject, Wlomian's craft" a splendid view of launching the Voltaire in the Mediterranean.; a powerful and delightful picture, showing how a dear child of tender years prevents a separation., entitled "A little child, shall lead them together with many others equally interesting. This pro- gramme, coupled with comfort, good music, ex- treme courtesy from the management, makes it a first-class entertainment. We congratulate Mr. Reynolds in choosing such an able lieuten- ant in Mr. Londberg, who. is entrusted with the reign of this now established Picture Hall. CATLJN'S PIERIROT ARCADIA.—Large at- tendiances are to be seen nightly at he al-fresco performances given by this very clever troupe of entertainers, and the spirit of mirth rums ^ery high. The Ciatlin repertoire is a compre- hensive one, atndt the songs of one and all of the members are clever. Mr. Sidney Frere, of course, has, a fund of humour' that is inexhaust- abe, and is the life and soul of the opmpany. The- concerted numbers are very diverting, whilst the duetts, trios, &c., go with a swing that captivates the audiences. BETHLEHEM C.M. SUNDAY SCHOOL.— About a hundred membe-rs of this Sundiay School joined in what proved a most enjoyable excursion, to, Rhydyfoel on Mondtay.

An excellent tea, pre- pared by Mrs. Jones,. Chester House, was en- Jyyed in the open air at a spot near the C.M. Chapel. 'The afternopn was devoted to games *wid walks, and was most pleasantly spent, ^eryone was delighted with the very fine ^ewis to. be obtained, including the beautiful v ale of Cllwyd, and it came as an agreeable SUrPrise to. rnainy that Rhydyfoel possesses so ^nany attractions in the way of picturesque scenery and is such an ideal place for a picnic.

PENMAENMAWR. DEATH.—The death took place last week of Mrs. Jones, 212, Chapeli-street, at the age of 62 years. The deceased was a life-long resident of Penimaenmawr, and was well known. She was a member of the Salem Welsh Congregational Chapel. The funeral took place at the Cemetery on Saiturdlay, the Rev. D. P. Davies, pastor of .Salem Chapel, officiating. INSPECTION.—On Tuesday afternoon the members of the Urban District COUlncilr made their annual inspection of the .sewers, &c., and found! them, all working satisfactorily. THE SEIAlSON'.—There are more visitors for this time of the year than there have been for many years. On Saturday a large Sunday .School excursion from Bangor visited the place and had a very enjoyable time. THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.— Mr. R. John Hughes, the Inspector of the Urban Council together with Mr. j. W. Post, the Deputy Clerk, visited the Imperial International 'Exhibition in London recently at the expense of the London and North-Western Railway Go., and they have reported to the Joint Advertising Committee upon the Penmaenmawr exhibit as f,o,ii,o,ws A portion of the Machinery Hall ot the Exhibition has been set apart as a Health and Pleasure Resort Section. The exhibits are displayed in hexagonal and square courts, hav- ing a central passage, and in the court nearest the entrance a bandstand has been erected at which performances are given. On the dates of inspection there were 37 models and paintings of British and Continental resorts. The Penmaenmawr exhibit is a good one, and will favourably compare with the others. The artist has correctly reproduced the general features of this district, and whilst depicting some details picturesquely, he has done so in such a way as not to detract from a faithful representation. He has also. happily chosen his colours and features, and the result is to leave a most favourable impression to on(loo,kers. In looking over the fine display of the L. & N.-W. Railway Co., we saw a selection of excellent enlarged photographs of districts they serve, including two of Conway, but none of Penmaenmawr. They also, have a notice of tourist resorts in North Wales, but Pienmaenmawr is again ex- cluded. We consider that representation might be made to the Railway Co. for the inclusion of Penmaenmawr amongst their photographs and notices." The Committee had accorded Mr. Hughes, who acts as Secretary, a vote of thanks for his lucid report. It was reported that the Town Improvement Association had offered 2,000 booklets to be evidently distributed at the .Exhibition, and the offer was accepted with I thanks. MAEiNAN CH?APBL.—The statement of ac- counts of the Maenan C.M. Chapel show that the cause is in a satisfactory state, and that itie membership has increased to, 125. SUCCESS.—Mr Archibald Davies, the son of the Rev. D. P. Davies, pastor of Salem Chapel, has succeasifultly passed his B.A. degree (Oxon), and has also won a scholarship at Oxford.
