LLANDUDNO. THE AUTUMN CONCERTS.—The success of the autumn concerts has been so remarkable that great regret was felt on Sunday evening that the season had come to a close. There was an audience that filled the large building, and reminded many of the month of August. It is understood that a tradesman in the town has offered the sum of Cioo if the concerts will be continued until Christmas next season. Other offers from visitors of handsome sums have been made upon similar conditions. The Committee are more than gratified at the result. THE FIELD CLUB.—The members of the Llandudno Field Ciub made an excursion yester- day (Wednesday) to two churches. The party headed by the Rector, the Rev Ll. R. Hughes, M.A., met at St. George's Church at 2.15, and the leader delivered a short address upon the revival of Gothic Architecture. The party afterwards pro- ceeded to St. Tudno's Church, where the leader delivered another short address on the settlement and growth of the Celtic Church, Churches of British foundation, local saints, aud characteristics of St. Tudno's Church. Tea was partaken of at Penmynydd Farm, and an enjoyable day was spent. JUNIOR CUP TIE.—On Saturday, the second round of the Coast Junior Cup will be played between the Llandudno Reserves and Penmaen- mawr, on the Council Ground. Penmaenmawr had choice of ground, but the Penmaens have been induced for several reasons to play the tie at Llandudno. The Reserves of Llandudno are a strong side, but on this occasion they will be minus the services of J. E. Williams as pivot. Given a fine day there should be an interesting game, as it is expected Penmaenmawr will turn out some dark horses." LICENSING.—At the Conway Police Court, on Monday, on the application of Mr E. W, Johnson, the licence of the Snowdon Hotel was temporarily transferred from Frank Butler to Wm. Hughes and that of the Telegraph Hotel on the Great Orme's Head from Stanley Crockett to Thomas Henry McDonald, the son of the proprietor. An extension of the licence of the Queen's Hotel, Llandudno, was granted for one hour on the occasion of a whist drive in connection with the Corinthian's Football Club on Wednesday night.

WELSH BAPTISTS.-The annual preaching meetings in connection with the Tabernacle Welsh Baptist Chapel were commenced on Tuesday even- ing, and were continued throughout yesterday (Wednesday). The special preachers were the Rev. J. Jones, Llangyndaern, and the Rev. E. W. Davies, Ton, Rhondda Valley. ST. GEORGE'S LITERARY AND DEBA- TING SOCIETY.—The syllabus of this Society has been issued, and an interesting and instructive session is promised. The session opens to-day (Thursday), when the Rector will deliver an address upon The Phases of the Religious and Philo- sophical thought in the 19th Century." The following are the officers of the Society:-Presi- dent, Rev. Ll. R. Hughes, M.A.; chairman, Mr J. Roger Dawson vice-chairman, Mr W. R. Brookes; hon. treasurer, Mr J.

MINISTERIAL CALL.—On Sunday night a unanimous call was given by the Shiloh Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Church, Llandudno, to the Rev. E. O. Davies, of Bala College. Mr. Davies is a native of Corwen, and began life as an elementary school teacher. He is a B.Sc. of London University, and was at Mansfield College, Oxford. After four years as the pastor of the Welsh Calvinistic Methodist Church at Garston, Liverpool, he became a Professor at Bala College, holding the post for nine years. It is expected that he will begin his ministry at Llandudno in January next. DIOCESE OF MENEVIA.—The erection of a Chapter for the Diocese of Menevia is (says the Tablet ") thus announced in a letter to his clergy by the the Bishop of Menevia It is our pleasure to announce to you that the Holy See has lately sent us a decree erecting a Chapter for the Diocese of Menevia. In the year 1895 the late Holy Father Pope Leo XIII., in his solicitude for the welfare of souls, thought fit to form the whole of Wales, with the exception of the county of Glamorgan, into a Vicariate-Apostolic. Later on, in the year 1898, this vicariate was erected into the Diocese of Menevia, the ancient See of St. David, the patron saint of Wales. The organisation of the Diocese, however, was not complete, as, no doubt, it was considered too young a Diocese to have a Chapter. By a decree dated August 10th, 1909, this want has been supplied, and this Diocese is now to have a Chapter, consisting of a Provost and four Canons." The Very Rev. T. Ratcliffe, of Llan- dudno, has been appointed Provost, while the Canons are the Very Revs. J. Jennings, of Flint; J. J. Griffiths, of Brecon T. M'Loughlin, of Llan- elly and W. Kelly, of Pembroke Dock. THE PROPERTY MARKET.-On Thurs- day, Mr. Matthew Ryan offered for sale by auction, at the Deganwy Castle Hotel, the detached bungalow known as Ty Gwyn," situated in Victoria Drive, close to Llandudno Junction station. After the bidding had reached £ 325 the property was withdrawn, but it is open for sale by private treaty. Messrs. Porter, Amphlett & Co., are the solicitors for the vendors. ST. PAUL'S LITERARY AND DEBATING SOCIETY.—The weekly meeting of this society was held on Tuesday evening in the Church House. Mr. A. G. Pugh presided over a good attendance.
