BRYN PYDEW. A FESTIVAL DAY.—The fact that little Georgie, the first-born to Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Wil- liams, Shop Newydd, Bryn Pydew, was one year old on Wednesday, was the means of imparting much pleasure to the children of the neighbour- hood. On Thursday, close upon one hundred happy-faced children gathered in the schoolroom of the chapel to enjoy a capital tea, prepared by Mr. and Mrs. Williams, and they were assisted by Mrs. Jones, Shop, Glanwydden Miss Jones, Cae Cynws Miss Gwennie Jones, Marian Miss Owen, Ty'nybryn Miss Alma Davies and Miss Gwennie Jones, Eilian Bay, Amlwch, and Miss Katie Jones. In the evening an excellent concert was held in the chapd, the proceeds of which went towards the funds of the cause. The bright interior was well filled with a delighted audience, and the proceed- ngs were conducted by the inimitable Deiniol Fychan," who was as witty as ever, and gave three gems from his repertoire of recitations that quite charmed the audience. In the absence of Dr. Morgan, of Conway, the Rev. T. C. Davies, of Holyhead, occupied the chair, and made a short and appropriate speech. The vocalists were Miss Williams, Beaumaris, Tegfan Roberts, Miss Ger- trude Hoskins, and Mr. D. Llew. Davies, whilst Mr. Rowland Williams, of Bodysgallen, was the accom- panist, and fulfilled his duties splendidly. A sweet voiced juvenile choir, under the conductorship of Mr. Isaac Jones, Marian, rendered two pretty items, Miss Gwennie Jones, Marian, presiding at the Car- negie organ. The concert was a great success, the singing and Deiniol's elocution being excellent. Tegfan was suffering from a cold, but, neverthe- less, he sang in most artistic style, and in the duets with Miss Williams, the pair quite captivated the audience. Equally successful were Miss Ger- trude Hoskins and Mr. D. Llewelyn Davies, who sang most acceptably, and, like the other duettists, they were encored for their duet. The concert was one of the very best held in Bryn Pydew, and the children in the audience were most exemplary in their behaviour. Mr. Thomas Williams, Penybont, Bryn Pydew, proposed a vote of thanks to all who had contributed to the success of the event, and wished long life to the little fellow that was the cause of the occasion. Mr. Owen Thomas, Peny- bryn, Bryn Pydew, seconded, and it was carried with acclammation. Mr and Mrs Williams after- wards entertained a large party to supper, which was much appreciated, and a happy day was brought to a close with a vote of thanks to Mr and Mrs Williams for their kind hospitality.

A YOUNG MAN'S HEROISM.—Tn the Bex- hill on Sea Observer for last week, there appears yn account of a disastrous fire which occurred at Arden, Bexhill-on-Sea, in which Mr. J. Blackburn is a lodger. It will be remembered that Mr. Blackburn for many years resided in Penmaen- mawr, where he was in the employ of the Holy- head and North Wales Gas Company, and re- moved to Bexhill, to take up the position of secre- tary of the Bexhill Gas and Water Co. The news- paper gives a graphic account of Mr Blackburn's heroism in saving Mrs Smith, an elderly lady of 70 years, and Miss F. M. Church, who were found almost suffocated in a bedroom on the second storey on the west side of the house. The account goes on to say Not saying a word to anyone Mr. Blackburn went quietly to work to effect a rescue." It is to him and to him alone that those ladies owe their lives. He risked his to save theirs." A gentleman in a crowd said that if a testimonial was raised to the gallant young man, I will head the list." A fund has been opened to reward Mr. Blackburn and his helpers for his gallantly in the rescue of three ladies (one a helpless invalid and the other a cripple) and also to recompense him, he having lost tho whole of his personal effects in the fire. In the newspaper appears an excellent portrait of Mr. Blackburn, and also a picture of him making his escape from the burning house after the rescue. We feel sure that our local readers will be pleased to learn of the heroic con- duct of this young man. ELECTION.—The Salem Debating Society on Thursday evening had a mock Parliamentary election.

Williams with being drunk and disorderly on the evening of Guy Fawkes day on the Castle Bridge, Llanfairfechan. The officer gave evidence of finding her drunk, and when he spoke to her she commenced to kick and bite. He had great diffi- culty in restraining her, and had to hold her to the ground. With the assistance of six local men, the defendant was taken to the police station on a handcart. She was very disorderly on the way, and the whole of the village was up." The defendant pleaded guilty, and it was proved that this was her sixth appearance before the magis- trates. A fine of 5s. and costs was imposed.

Mr. M. Nee, Carnarvon, defended. During his cross-examination by Mr. Nee, Evan Jones, Mr. Massey's gamekeeper, gave some amusing answers. He admitted that Mr. Massey only owned a part of Llanfairfechan, not the whole of it. Later, he admitted that foxes were sometimes got on the land in question. And didn't one of the defendants in your com- pany shoot a fox there one day ?" said Mr. Nee.— "Yes." "And didn't he share the reward with you —"No"; "I shared the reward with him." (Laughter.)—Mr. Nee then addressed the Bench on behalf of the defendants, and proposed afterwards j to put them in the box. The Chairman however, ruled that as Mr. Nee had addressed the Bench, he could not now put his clients in the box. After some discussion the Bench decided that the charge was clearly proved, and fined each of the defend- ants 5s. and costs.

The Chairman said he was surprised to hear of these cases, and especially the one proving fatal. It was almost unknown in South Wales. He described how by a recipe which he had, he cured one suffering from that disease at Trefriw, and how that man went about the village curing all suffering from the malady by the same method.

Williartrfs, halves; R. E. Header, Dick Lewis, Norman Thomas, Will Evans ,and E. Williams, forwards. The Beaumaris team were composed of local men. iSorne of them, the right full, and Jones, and the outside right, for instance, were triers. But there was no system in their playing, and the Canaries had nearly all the game to them- selves. Every one of the home team played well. Jones was all righrt in goal. The full-backs were not as reliable as usual. Griffiths was not so effective as is his wont. Evan Hughes indulged in selfish .play on many occasions, and very often lost the ball in consequenoe. The half-backs were simply grand, Herbert, if anrythirug, being the pick. All the forwards played well. Tom Roberts was full of resourcefulness.

Hockey. LLANDUDNO v. COLWYN. A very keen and interesting mixed match be- tween the above teams took place on the Llan- dudno ground last Saturday. Colwyn pressed from the start, and soon Davies, the visiting centre forward, opened the score. Prytce Jones and Gray added further points, and after closely contested play in mddfield Llaindudno put on two goals in quick succession. As the result of a well combined attack, Davies put his side still further ahead, and the score at half time stood 4-2 in favour of the visitors. Upon, resumption the visitors overwhelmed Llandudno, and added three more goals. Credit is due to the Colwyn defence, which played a sterling game, and re- peatedly broke up the combination of the home forwards before they could reach the shooting' area. For Llandudno Bone at centre forward and the left back were the pick of the team. 'Qolwyra were represented by: M. Beverley, D. Wood, and Evans, backs; W. Davies, Lewis, and K. Albutt, half backtg, D. Hicks, W. Pryce- Jones, Davies, Gray, and D. Law, forwards. Mr. H. V. Doughty-Davies, the old Welsh In- ternational, was the referee, and expressed him- self as much struck by the greatly improved play of the Colwyn team, who three weeks ago were heavily beaten at home by their opponents of Saturday. The pLayers on both sides were anxious, no do-ubt, to show their best form, as they were playing under the eye of a distiguishied member of the Welsh International Selection Committee. Mr. Doughty-Davies has been on the Committee for several years, and lately he was appointed Chairman for the present season.
