Eddy Brown. SATURDAY'S MUSICAL TREAT AT COLWYN BAY. We have pleasure in giving a portrait of that world-famous violinist, Eddy Brown, who will appear at th.e attractive concert recital to be held in the Victoria Pavilion, Colwyn Bay, on Saturday evening of the present week. We need hardly remind our musical readers that Eddy Brown takes a foremost place among the violin virtuosi of the day. He comes to Colwyn Bay from Queen's Hall, London, where, last night (Wednes- day), he electrified a distinguished audience bv his wonderful playing. Eddy Brown, who we believe is twenty-five years of age, has already more than justified all the favourable prophecies of such eminent musicians as Joachim and others, who have been astonished at his powers. It is there- fore to be expected that the visit of such a genius will be welcomed at Colwyn Bay by visitors and townspeople alike. The wizard of the violin will be supported by Miss Alice Prouse, the well-known soprano, and Charlton Keith at the piano. The plan of the Pavilion may be seen and tickets obtained at Fleet's Music Warehouse, Penrhvn- i road.

Mr. Davies and other members got excited again, and above the din could be heard' the voice of Mr. Davies exclaiming You are a dis- grace to the country, that you are The Chairman administered a gentle rebuke to Mr. Davies. Mr. Davies replied that the Gas Committee was a disgrace to the country, and had been for years. Mr. Dicken It is only the Sanitary Committee that has ever done any good since I have been on the Council. (Laughter.) But Mr. Davies is en- tirely wrong the Lighting Committee recom- i mended that the salary be £ 250, and when the y recommendation came before the Council it was confirmed by them. That's all. Mr. W. Davies If that's a fact, I withdraw it but let's have the minutes. Mr. Dicken So he withdraws that, at any rate. The Chairman I don't think it is right to speak of a Committee as you do, Mr. Davies. (Hear, hear.) In this instance the Committee have done everything in their power to do the best for the Council and for Colwyn Bay. Mr. Davies I don't say anything against it. I say they have given their best attention to this matter. But I want the minutes. The Chairman If you will sit down, the Clerk will read the minutes. The Clerk read the Lighting Committee's re- commendation adopted by the Council..This contained the wording of the advertisenent, which stated the salary to be £ 250. Mr. Dicken Now withdraw. Mr. Davies: Had that not been advertised before it was put in the minutes ? The Clerk Yes, that is so. Mr. Davies (exultantly) Now, then, it is for Mr. Dicken now to withdraw. (Laughter.) He laughs best who laughs last. (Renewed laughter.) I call upon the Chairman to make Mr. Mr. Dicken to withdraw. (Laughter.) Rev. W. Hughes Mr. Davies is perfectly right it was done before it came to the Council. Mr. Dicken You passed it, didn't you ? Rev. W. Hughes We could not do anything else. Mr. Bevan At the same meeting the Sanitary Committee reported that they had appointed a manager, and named his salary. Mr. Purdy: No; we only recommended, the Council adopted. The Chairman Now, look here, gentlemen, we must "have some order. You must all speak only once. On being put to the meeting, the Lighting Committee's recommendation to appoint Mr. Smith was carried unanimously, all the members voting. Mr. W. Davies I hope the Lighting Com- mittee will turn over a fresh leaf, and not make themselves a disgrace to the country any more. (Laughter.) This was the only business on the agenda, but before the Council rose Mr. Greenfield asked if there had yet been a meeting of the Special Com- mittee appointed to go into the duties of the Council's staff. The Chairman I don't think that is before us to-night. Mr. Greenfield It will be much easier for the manager if that is settled. The Committee has been going on for three months now, and it is full time to know something. Mr. J. Berth Jones asked if some arrangement had been made in regard to the duties of the new manager ? The Chairman stated that all those details would be stated in the agreement, which would be entered into between the Council and the manager. Mr. W. Davies Are they to be submitted to the Council ? Mr. Dicken No. (Laughter.)

Abergele Sparks. I OPENLETTER To Troopers Robert Hughes, William Dodd, Jack Jones, Ted Jones, Tom Jones, Joseph Parry, J. Richard Jones, Frank Jones, Owen Evans, Ted Parry, Will Parry, and W. Pownall, Abergele Troop, B Squadron, Denbighshire Yeomanry. 'Tention Rightabout face Eyes front Shoulder arms Dear live and real Soldiers,—Allow a ready- made Trooper to congratulate you upon your valour in taking up arms and riding whiskered quadrupeds on behalf of the King and the Em- pire, including Llanfair-Flatiron. Don't shoot —I haven't finished yet. Being full-fledged Yeomen, you will be expected to ride gee-gees, carry a gun, and shoot the enemy as dead as mutton. Most of you can ride a bike and cut capers, but a bike is not a horse, think on. Now what is a horse ? Well, some of you will know from experience one of these next fine days. You will find that he can kick, bite, and throw you headlong into the mud. But you will get used to all that, the same as the little boy did who always put his finger between the rollers of his mother's mangle. And now for the gun. Beware of it It's dangerous—especi- ally when it goes off, and blows your own head off in the bargain. Don't play with a gun in the house and plead ignorance if you kill your mother- in-law or your little sister Mary by accident. Guns are made for accidents—to the enemy. Allow me to ask you a question or two. Supposing you were promoted to be scouts under General McSpuds, and were watching for the enemy on Tower Hill, and you espied a squad of Germans gathering mushrooms and blackberries in Bron Berllan lields, what is the shortest cut you would take in running to tell Kelly of their approach ? Terrible fellows, those Germans. Even Mr. Pierson says he is afraid of them now. And look at the size of him Well, joking aside, I hope you will enjoy the fun of soldiering, and that you will never be called upon to shed your precious blood on the field of battle. In the meantime, keep an open eye on the German bands that invade our shores for the purpose of murdering the Hallelujah Chorus and other classical music. Mr. Thomas Patrick, Pensarn, who was por- ter-in-charge at the London & North-Western Railway Company's goods warehouse at the Abergele station for thirty years, retired from active service on a well-earned age-limit pension on Monday. Courteous and obliging, the Com- pany had few more popular men in their service than Mr. Patrick. He retires with the best wishes of everyone who knew him-including the Railway Company. Mr. Patrick's friends have opened a subscription list in order to pre- sent him with a testimonial, and anyone who feels anxious to assist in greasing the wheel," so to speak, may do so by sending a subscription to either of the following gentlemen, who form the committee of the fund :—Messrs. G. T. Evans N. & S. W. Bank J. Hannah, chemist; G. Per- kins, auctioneer E. W. Harrop, J. Pierce, S. B. Rogers, or T. Leigh, hon. secretary. A Mr. Ernest Holdsworth entered the lions' cage of a travelling menagerie at Seacombe the other day, and, after caressing the lion and lioness lioness, enjoyed a cigar and a glass of champagne. Bravo, Ernest But I am willing enough to wager, a modern Daniel though he be, that he wouldn't have shown so much British pluck had those bally lions been a couple of militant suffragettes.

Conway Corporation. AN OFFICIAL'S CLAIM FOR REMUNERATION. The monthly meeting of the Conway Corpora- tion was held on Wednesday, the Mayor (Coun- cillor J. Williams) presiding. The other mem- bers present were Alderman W. M. Sever, Coun- cillors Hugh Owen, Dr. W. Carter, Fred J. Jones, James Stott, and Robert Jones with the Town Clerk's Deputy (Mr. R. Jones), the Borough En- gineer (Mr. F. A. Delamotte), the Accountant's Deputy (Mr. T. 1. Hughes), the Rate Collector (Mr. T. M. Jones), and the Gas Manager (Mr. H. Dixon). THE SURVEYOR'S CLAIM. The minutes of the Gas and Lighting Com- mittee contained the following :— The Borough Engineer's application to the Gas and Lighting Committee to recompense him for the extra work entailed by the preparation of plans, estimates, &c., in connection with the Conway Gas Act, 1909, was very fully considered, and after perusing the Engineer's agreement, Alderman Netherwood proposed That this Committee are of opinion that Mr. Delamotte is entitled to remuneration for work done out- side the district in connection with the Conway Gas Act, 1909, and recommends the Council to take the matter into consideration." This pro- posal was not seconded. The Mayor (Councillor J. Williams) then pro- posed That the application of Mr. Delamotte be referred to the Council for their considera- tion." This motion was seconded by Councillor J. E. Conway-Jones, but not carried. After further discussion, Mr. Delamotte was asked what was the amount he considered he was en- titled to. Mr. Delamotte replied by stating that he was not asking for anything like the amount which he considered he could claim, but with the view of amicably settling the matter and to prove to the Committee that he was not asking for an exorbitant amount, he stated that he would accept without prejudice the sum of £ 15. There- upon Councillor F. J. Jones proposed, and Alder- man A. Netherwood seconded, That Mr. Dela- motte be granted £ 15 in respect of his applica- tion. As an amendment, the Mayor proposed That the whole matter be referred to the Council." This was seconded by Councillor J. E. Conway Jones. On being put to the meeting, the amendment received two votes, namely, the proposer and seconder; the Chairman thereupon put the original proposal to the Committee, when there voted in its favour, Alderman A. Netherwood, Councillors F. J. Jones and Edward Jones, and it was declared carried. The adoption of the recommendation having been moved and seconded, Councillor R. Jones said he should like to see the agreement between the Council and the Sur- veyor before the recommendation was adopted. He had always understood that there was no- thing to be added to the Surveyor's salary but the recommendation now was that .£15 be paid him for work in connection with the extension of the gas mains at the Junction. He (the speaker) had no prejudice in the matter, but he wanted these things to be clearly understood. He understood that when there was a pressure of work, the Surveyor applied for assistance, and an assistant was appointed for six months, but those few months had extended up to the pre- sent time. The Surveyor had stated that with a view to an amicable settlement he would not ask for an exorbitant amount. On what auth- ority did he claim anything ? If he was entitled to this according to the agreement, let him have it by all means, but let them be fair. He moved that the matter be referred back, in order that every member of the Council might have an opportunity of perusing the agreement. Councillor Fred Jones said that the matter had been adjourned previously by the Gas Com- mittee to enable the Surveyor to bring forward the agreement. If he remembered rightly, the agreement stated that the Surveyor's time was to be given to work in the borough. When the gas order was gone in for, certain work was im- posed on the Surveyor in preparing the necessary documents. The Surveyor did not ask for any- thing for work done for the borough but he considered that he was entitled to some slight recognition for the work he had done outside. To the surprise of the majority of the members of the Committee, the Surveyor only asked for £ 15, and he (the speaker) considered that that was was little enough for the work done. If it had been an independent engineer, he would have claimed ten or fifteen per cent., and that would have landed the Corporation in an expense of f200 or £250. Councillor James Stott said that in the face of the fact that the borough was specifically mentioned in the agreement, he quite agreed with the Committee's recommendation. The work done was certainly outside the borough, and £ 15 was not too much for it. Councillor R. Jones said he was not in the position of the members of the Gas Committee. Unless he saw the agreement he would vote again against the recommendation. The Surveyor then produced the agreement, and read the portions affecting him as the Bor- ough Surveyor. The Mayor said he blamed the Surveyor for not drawing the attention of the Council to the matter in the first instance, that the work was outside the borough. Councillor R. Jones said he was satisfied as far as the agreement went, but it did not refer to work the Corporation did outside the borough. This was Council work, and they had powers for the extension of the main. The Surveyor You had not got the powers then. Councillor R. Jones I say it is Council work, and you are to prepare the plans. You may smile. I am not so daft that I can't see through things. The Mayor felt it was a very important mat- ter, and being that there were so few members present, he would propose that the matter be referred to the next Council in Committee. Alderman Sever expressed his agreement with the Mayor's proposal, and seconded it, for the reason that it affected other officials as well as the Borough Surveyor. The matter was then put to the meeting, and it was decided to refer it to the Council in Com- mittee. PRICE OF COKE. The question of reducing the price of coke to persons buying small quantities (1 cwt. and under) having been referred by the Council to the consideration of the Gas Committee, it was unanimously resolved to reduce the price to 6d. per cwt., with the object of inducing those per- sons (who are not in a position to buy large quantities) to fetch small lots from the works. The Gas Manager was requested to take special care that this concession is not taken advantage of by dealers and persons who take large quantities. Councillor Robert Jones said he wished to impress upon the Gas Manager the desirability of checking undue claims by persons who were well able to pay the ordinary price of coke. He brought this matter forward for the benefit of the poor of the town and the poor only. He also thanked the Gas Committee for considering the matter so promptly. CASTELL CAER LLEON. A sub-Estate Committee reported having met on the spot to consider the question of the pre- servation of the the walls that had been ex- cavated by Mr. Picton, and it was resolved to ask Professor Bosanquet, of the Royal Commis- sion on Ancient Monuments in Wales, to advise on the suggestions made by the Committee, viz., to lay a layer of concrete over the top of the wall and erect unclimbable iron fencing around the excavations. The Surveyor estimated the cost of fencing at pO, and the concreting £ 3. A letter was also read from Professor Bos- anquet stating that the suggestions of the Com- mittee were good ones, and after due considera- tipn, if was unanimously decided to ask the local antiquarian societies what amount, if any, they ould be prepared to contribute towards IW the expense of preserving the ruins. PROPOSED NEW ROAD TO MOUNTAIN. The Town Clerk submitted a letter from Mr. Thornton Jones to the Finance Committee, in which the following points, as altered on be- half of the Rev. F. G. Jones, were submitted by Mr. Thornton Jones for consideration :—(1) That the cost of future repair and maintenance of the road shall be borne by the Corporation. (2) The provision limiting the liability of the Cor- poration to the repair and maintenance of the fences to the parapets, or sides of the culvert, is struck out, and an agreement substituted by which the Corporation is to remove the fencing completely if required by the vendor. (3) Addi- tional Covenant that the Corporation shall make a sewer across the proposed new road, so that the vendor's land on both sides, or any adjoin- ing land of his, may be drained into such sewer. (4) Additional declaration that the vendor and his successors shall not be required to sewer level, pave, channel, &c., or provide lighting for the road, and exempting him and them from expenses incurred by the Corporation or others for such sewering, lighting, &c. After the Borough Surveyor had fully ex- plained the above points, the Committee, whilst expressing their approval and agreeing with the amendments, resolved that the question be re- ferred to the Council for decision. The Council now approved of the letter.

Llanrwst Board of Guardians. THE PREVALENCE OF DISTRESS. Mr. John Roberts, J.P., presided at the monthly meeting held on Tuesday. The following mem- bers were also present:—Mr. D. G. Jones (Vice- Chairman), Rev. J. Ll. Richards, Rev. Henry Jones, Rev. J. Gower, J.P., Rev. H. Rawson Williams, Messrs. John Hughes, John Davies (Bryniog), T. T. Roberts, O. Lloyd Jones, Hugh Roberts, E. Mills, David Owens, W. G. Jones, D. Jones, O. Evans, E. Roberts, and J. Lloyd Morris together with the Clerk (Mr. T. Hughes), the Master (Mr. E. Hughes), and the Relieving Officers (Messrs. Evans Jones and T. C. Roberts). ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Mr. John Davies, Bryniog Ucha', expressed his appreciation of the vote of sympathy passed with him at the previous Board, and the kind words reflected upon him from the chair. The Chairman expressed his pleasure at Mr. Davies' recovery from the effects of his recent illness, and his presence at the meeting. OUT-RELIEF. Mr. T. C. Roberts reported that he had paid £ 75 lis. 8d. in out-door relief during the last month to 140 paupers. A cheque for £ 76 was signed to cover the ensuing month. Mr. O. Evans Jones reported that he had spent 110 on 169 paupers, and was granted a cheque for £ 110 to cover the ensuing month. THE HOUSE. Mr. H. R. Williams, Local Government Board Inspector, inspected the house on January 10th, and wrote the following report in the visitors' book I inspected the house to-day, and found everything in the main part of the build- ing in good order generally, and the inmates well cared for. It is gratifying to find that the Guardians have been able to board out all the children. There is only one child, two years old, in the house the mother is also an inmate, having been deserted by her husband. The vagrant's wards are not satisfactory, the sleeping ward is badly ventilated, the day room small, stuffy, and cheerless, no proper communication with the offices at night, and no shelter between the day room and sleeping place. Until fresh legislation is introduced perhaps the Guardians would consider how best to improve matters in the vagrant wards without incurring much ex- pense. The management of the workhouse generally continues most satisfactory." The Master remarked that he had removed the stove from the vagrants' sleeping room to the day room, with excellent results. Mr. H. Roberts intimated that he had been to see the ward, and was satisfied with the method of heating it. The Master was congratulated on having heated the ward without incurring any material expense. The Master reported that there were 25 inmates in the house, against 35 in the corres- ponding period of last year 70 tramps had been relieved during the month, against 70 the pre- vious December. RESIGNATION OF TREASURER. Mr. Rowland Hughes, the Treasurer of the Union, tendered in his resignation. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. W. G. Jones, the resignation was accepted, and Mr. E. Jones Owen was appointed to the vacancy. PENSIONS. The Clerk reported that the Local Govern- ment Board had enquired as to the number of paupers over 70 in the Union, and he had re- plied that there were seven men and two women inmates in the house, and twenty-one men and fifty-five women receiving out-door relief over 70 years of age, or a total of 84. The cost of the out-door paupers for the week ending January 1st was £19. DISTRESS IN THE UNION. The Clerk reported that in accordance with the wish of the Local Government Board Inspec- tor, he had made enquiries relative to the state of pauperism and unemployment in the district, and had replied that the state of pauperism was normal, and that the Llanrwst Urban Counc il had given employment to men out of work in clearing the snow off the streets in December, and also in the laying out of the pig market site. The prospects of employment at Pentrevoelas had improved, while the Penmachno quarries were working five days a week instead of four. At Llanrwst, owing to the lead mines lying dor- mant, unemployment and distress still pre- vailed. .=.

There is accommodation for over three hundred and fifty people in the hall, and within fifteen minutes of the doors being opened it was impossible to gain admittance. The Sunday School superintendent, the Rev. Llew- elyn A.

Twenty- two scholars were not once absent throughout the year. Mr. Richards thanked the teachers for their valuable help, and also the emergency teachers, who had from time to time filled the places of the regular ones.

Football. North Wales Coast League. BANGOR UNIVERSITY v. CARNARVON. The election in the Carnarvon Boroughs ap- pears to have affected the Carnarvon team to a considerable extent, for it was a very weak eleven that visited the 'Varsity ground on Satur- day. The teams lined up as follows, before Referee Welch, Crewe Bangor: Daniels, goal; D. S. Owen and C. H. Jones, backs W. J. Jones, Don Rowlands, and Brock, halves T, E. Jones, Matthews, Wright, Smedley, and Claude Davies, forwards. Carnarvon: G. H. Jones, goal: Woods and I John Williams, backs H. Davies, E. Hughes, and Jack Williams, halves H. Jones, T. Roberts, Walter Jones, H. Roberts, and Johnny Jones, forwards. During the game there was a hailstorm, and the recent thaw made the ground in a pitiable condition. The first part of the game was evenly contested, but the visitors appeared to break down when Wright and Smedley scored goals within a few seconds of each other. Johnny Jones temporarily retired through an injury. T. E. Jones added the third goal from a pass by Wright, and shortly before time D. S. Owen scored from a free kick, and Matthews added the fifth. For the first few minutes of the second half the visitors kicked up, and gave the home de- fence an anxious time, but they soon fell away again, and the 'Varsity monopolised the game. With a combined movement, Walter Jones in his usual dashing style, broke through and opened the visitors' score with a rasping shot, which gave Daniels no chance to save. Smedley was responsible for the sixth, and the seventh and eighth goals came in a very few minutes from Matthews, who in about ten minutes after: wards added two more goals, and the eleventh came from the toe of Wright, when close in. The final score read University, 11 Carnarvon, 1.
