Llandudno and District Field Club. EXCURSION TO THE BLACK ROCKS, DEGANWY. The first excursion of the above Club took place on Saturday last, under the guidance of Mr. W. Bezant Lowe, M.A., of Llanfairfechan, who is at present acting as hon. excursion secretary, in the place of Mr. W.R. Brookes, who has had to re- sign that office owing to pressure of busi- ness. Members from Colwyn Bay and Llandudno met at Deganwy station at 2.20 p.m., and proceeded along the pro- menade to the shore. As soon as the sands were reached, Mr. Lowe directed the at- tention of the party to the present course of the Conway, which could be well seen as it was low water, and pointed out how this course had been altered by the build- ing of the railway embankment and of the tubular and suspension bridges. Before this time the river flowed nearer the Denbighshire side, and the width of the, ferry in those days must have been much greater, as the old Ferry House was situated where the new signal box of the L. and N.W. Railway is now situated to the west of the present Llandudno junc- tion. Close by was the famous Ferry Hotel, near which some coins were dug up, and the Ferry itself is rendered notable for one or two terrible accidents, one about 1805, when the boat was upset and all the occupants, except two, were drowned. About 1650 there was another accident in which only one person was saved, a young woman, who was going to Llanfairfechan to meet her sweetheart, who also was thrown out of a convey- ance on the terrible round round Pen- maenmawr. He also escaped, and they both lived to a great age, the wife to the age of 116. They are now buried in Llan- fairfechan Churchyard. Proceeding the Black Rocks were soon reached and carefully examined. As is well-known the cliff here consists of a mass of boulder clay, full of stones, of all sizes and of every kind, very many show- ing striations, the result of glacial action. They are most varied in character, in- cluding grit from Denbighshire, sand- stone from Cheshire, igneous rocks from Snowdonia, and granite from Cumber- land, thus giving an indication of their origin. They were left there by that great ice-sheet which came from the north of Scotland, crossed the Isle of Man and the Lake district, and thence proceeding by the coast of Lancashire, reached the neighbourhood of Cheshire, where it div- ided, one portion coming along the north coast of Wales, crossing the Great and Little Orme's Heads and leaving its traces in the rounded character of these head- lands, and the mass of clay and stones which is to be found near Llanddulas, to the back of Colwyn Bay and then from the Black Rocks of Deganwy to the neigh- bourhood of Gogarth Abbey. The party then proceeded to the Go- garth Abbey Hotel, where an excellent tea was provided by Mr. Dutton, and a discussion took place afterwards. We are pleased to see from the excur- sion programme that several walks have been arranged at an interval of a fort- night, including a visit to the Little Orme to study marine life, Conway Castle and its architectural history, and the famous Eisteddfod stone at Bryn Eisteddfod. We feel sure that it is only necessary to mention this to induce numbers to join this Club, which is doing good work in the archaeology and natural history of the district. The hon. sec. is Mr. L. S. Underwood, of Bodnod, Lloyd-street, who will give full information regarding the Club. The next excursion will take place on Saturday, February 5th, when the mem- bers will, under the guidance of Mr. Harry Thomas, examine the marine life on the shore near the Little Orme. The members will meet at 2-30 p.m. at the tram stopping station at Nantygamar- road, near Bethania Chapel.

Political Meetings at Penmachno. A meeting to support the candidature of Mr. Arthur E. Hughes as Conservative for Arfon was announced at the Public Hall, on Friday evening, Mr. J. Griffith Evans, Manager of the Penmachno Slate Quarry in the chair, and the following were announced to speak: Mr. Harwood Banner, M.P Liverpool, Director of the Penmachno Quarry, Mr. Arthur E. Hughes, and Rev. W. Morgan, St. Ann. g All of them turned up except Mr. Banner, and for a long time before the meeting began the hall was packed up with enthusiastic Liberals singing a Liberal Election song, entitled Vote for William Jones." The chairman in vain appealed for silence for the Candidate. The Rev. W. Lloyd Davies and other prominent Liberals appealed for silence, but it was of no avail, and the meeting broke up without any of them uttering a word. The great- est enthusiasm was shewn in the village afterwards for hours, the crowd cheering Mr. Wm. Jones and Mr. Lloyd George, and singing Liberal Election songs. In the same place on Saturday, was held one of the best meetings in support of the Liberal Candidate Mr. William Jones. The chair was occupied by Dr. W. Michael Williams, M.B., C.C., President of the Penmachno Liberal Association, who was received with rounds of cheers. The Meeting was addressed by the following gentle- men O. Isgoed Jones, Esq., J.P., Llanrwst; D. J. Williams, Esq., Council School, Llanrwst; Caradoc Mills, Esq., Llanrwst; Revd. T. J. Jamei (C.M.); Revd. W. Lloyd Davies (W.), and E Davies Jones, Esq., Solicitor, Penmachno. Mr. W. Griffith Evans, Secretary of the Liberal Associa- tion, proposed a vote of thanks which was seconded by Mr. Henry Roberts, White Street. On leaving the hall the speakers were given a most hearty reception, and were escorted through the village by hundreds of people singing the Election Songs. Mr. O. Isgoed Jones again addressed them near Mostyn Villa, and thanked them for their hearty reception, saying he was glad that Liberalism was so flourishing at Penmachno.

Llandudno Pier Company. EXPENDITURE ON IMPROVE- MENTS. Presiding on Monday at the annual meeting of the Llandudno Pier Company, Dr. W. R. Nicol, the chairman of the directors, said that the report (already published) was one of the best ever pre- sented in the history of the Company, and were it not for the large amount the Board had committed themselves to spend on improvements and new works the divi- dend would have been greater. In 1904 he ventured to predict that in five years from that date, if all went well, they would be in a position to pay 15 per cent. However, in the face of the improvements now contemplated, it was improbable that there would be any increase of dividend for some time to come, but no doubt the SHAREHOLDERS WOULD BE PLEASED if they could go on as they had done. (Applause.) The receipts from the steam- ers were ICI2,130, as compared with ^2,091 in 1908, which was very satisfac- tory considering the inclement state of the weather when the season was in full swing. The alteration of the pavilion roof would be completed this year, and would greatly add to the appearance of the building, and certainly conduce to the comfort of those who frequented the gal- lery, lessening the heat in the summer and increasing the warmth in winter. The Autumn Concerts Committee desired that the directors should introduce an up-to- date system of hot-water heating, but the cost of that was stfch that it would be necessary to wait a little while before it could be carried out. The new works which the Company proposed to carry out were a new covered entrance with ticket office, carriage way, &c. the widening of the pier in front of the pavilion, and the widening of the pier for its whole length from the old entrance to the pier- head. The approximate cost would be about ;tC. i o,ooo. It was the intention of the Board this year to throw the Egyptian Hall open to the promenade part of the gallery, and to have light refreshments supplied there. The place would also form a smoke-room and lounge, and would relieve the conges- tion. At the circular end of the gallery a dress circle was being provided, with a proper gradient, and equipped with tip-up plush seats. From these seats there would be an uninterrupted view of the orchestra and vocalists, and they hoped also it would improve the acoustic qualities of the building. A small charge would be made for the seats, which would be reserved. It was not found expedient to reserve seats in the other parts of the auditorium. The net expenditure now in hand, includ- ing the work on the pavilion, the new water main to the pierhead, and the strengthening of the landing-stage with greenheart piles, deducting the amount from revenue already appropriated, was £ 2,200, which it was hoped to provide out of the revenue of next year. It was a large amount, but they could do it if they had their usual success. (Applause.) Wherever possible LOCAL FIRMS were employed, as that gave employment to local artisans. (Applause.) The town generally and the visitors could rest assured that the Company would do all in their power to help to keep that charming sea-side place to the fore- front. The season would commence on March 24 with a well-balanced orchestra, comprised of the members of the large orchestra, with Mr. Haigh as conductor. Subsequently the orchestra would be greatly augmented, and Mr. Payne would conduct for the remainder of the season, which would close 011 October 9, after which date the musical arrangements would be under the management of the Autumn Concerts Committee, whose con- certs were such a great success last season. (Applause.) In concluding, the Chairman reterred sympathetically to the death of his colleague, Mr. William Bevan, and then moved that the report and accounts be approved, and a dividend of 121 per cent. and a bonus of 5s. per share be paid. This was seconded by Mr. G. L. Wood- ley, and carried unanimously. On the motion ot the Chairman, sec- onded by Mr. Samuel Cooke, the retiring directors, Mr. Douglas Jones and Mr. Ambrose Roberts, were reappointed. The Chairman pointed out that there was a vacancy for a director, owing to Mr Bevan's death, and expressed the opinion that another local director was desirable. Mr. E. W. Johnson moved, and Mr. George Bevan seconded, the election of Mr. Joseph Winter to the board, the former pointing out that Mr. Winter would worthily fill the place of his late father-in-law. The motion was carried unanimously.

Parted." The dull grey dawning cometh now, For all another day— To me what means it but a sight ? For thou art far away. No lamp's bright flicker lights my way, No guiding hand is near: Such tender words are often said, Alas I cannot hear. The foaming sea is yonder there, For all a joyous sight: My eyes are dim to all around, To me it is the night. There are so many winding walks, So sweet to tread upon I cannot find the happiness In them,—my joy is gone. The waters splashing by my side, The cool refreshing spray It has such charm for all but me, I cannot feel to-day. Why wait I here, alone and sad, Upon the dreary way ? The world to me, what is it now ? For thou art far away. Gwtnith I. Fokviss.
