Jones (late of Aber, now of Glanadda, Bangor), was greatly appreciated; his ready wit and hoanely illustrations fairly captivating the audience at times. The subject of the lecture was The Human Tongue," a subject, as the lecturer remarked, on which every person pre- sent was, more or less, an authority. The result the undertaking will be a substantial sum to the credit of the Trust Account, and the best thanks at the Trustees are tendered to all who .assisted in connection therewith. BETHLEHEM BAND OF HOPE.-On Tues- day evening, last week, the annual meeting of the above was held, and was well attended. The whole programme was carried out by the children themselves, the chairman being Richard Oliver Jones, and the conductor John Bennett Jones. It was evident, from the interesting way in which the children went through their tasks, that great care and pains had been, taken with them during the winter session. Before the meeting tihe children partook of an excellent tea, kindly, given by Mrs- Jones, Chester House, and on the proposal of the pastor, the Rev. T. M. Jones, seconded by Mr. T. Jones, Llys Cynwal, a hearty vote of thanks was passed to Mrs. Jones, Miss Agatha Williams, Messrs. D. Llew- elyn Davies, Lewis Parry, Thomas Owen, and T. R. Owen (the Band of Hope Staff), and to all who assisted to make the meeting such a success. HOLIDAY PICTURES—A grand holiday programme is presented by Mr. Harry Reynolds this week at the Public Hall. Crowded houses have testified in unmistakable fashion their ,3J)- preciation of the most excellent fare provided. Mr. Harry Liston and Miss Lord Lumley, the world-renowned entertainers, give nightly differ- ent selections from their famous entertainment, Merry Moments." Mr. Liston's versatility is phenomenal, and his impersonations are remark- ably clever. Among many good. subjects de- picted on the screen is one worthy of special mention. It is a magnificent pictorial repre- sentation of Shakespeare's Comedy and Tragedy," the principal role being played by the finest exponent of silent drama in the world. This sujbject is really an entertainment in itself. Shanghaied and" The Poor Composer are Picture dramas far above the average merit. The film" Molucca Isles (Oceania) teaches and de- scribes to us in five minutes more about the place, the customs and occupations of the natives than could be gleaned from five months' studying of books. "Sweet Revenge is the talc off a girl jilted by a young man for the sake of another girl. The firsft one; resolves to have bitter revenge, and sends a packet of letters and a photograph of the young man to the bride- elect. {However, the messenger carrying the packet is not the most careful, and drops the packet, which falls into a river. Territorial on the Brain gives us some idea of how a popular play works on the mind of a hitherto quiet and sedate old gentleman. He insists on his family saluting him in military style at the breakfast table, his gardener and milkman- are taught how they should behave in the presence of superiors in true military fashion. His family are drilled with broomsticks for rifles. Lastly, the poor old man buys a set of tin soldiers and plays with them. Hansel and Gretal is a very pretty fairy story. A bright little comic is .1 The Race for a Monkey." A lady receives, by way a a gift, an ape. and this she proceeds to take from a crate in the nresence of her many friends. The monkey immediately rushes off and leads them all a merry dance. In a bake- house the brute proceeds to splash all his pur- suers very freely with wet dough. In Fools- head Sportsman for Love the hero answers an advertisement, in which a lady wants a h-usband strong and a good siportaroan. Foolshead eaters the lisit, but is beaten all round. In a hand to hand glove fight his would-be bride knocks him out. Determined to achieve greatness in her eyes, he goes in for a series of daring adventures, which include driving a motor-car through. a shop window and trying a flight in an a,eroplane. OPENING OF CATLIN'S PIERROT ARCADIA.—Mr. Catlin and his company must have felt more than pleased on Saturday even- ing, when they saw the fine Arcadia crowded with over a thousand people to greet the Pierrots upon the inauguration. of whait is undoubtedly the earliest season in Pierrot history at the sea- side. The Arcadia reminded one off the. moruth of August, when seats are at a premium, and it Was a sight that spoke volumes for the growing Popularity of Colwyn Bay as a health resort. We congratulate Mr. Catlin upon his enterprise, and we also trust that between now and the Whitsuntide season the residents will help to reward Mr. Catlin for his praiseworthy efforts to popularise. Colwyn Bay. The large crowd on Saturday proved- eloquently that not only do visitors need fresh air, but entertainment as well. The weather was glorious, and everyone seemed happy, and the entertainment, under the management of Mr. Frank Blythe, was greatly enjoyed. The artistes are those of Mr. Catlin's Luton Company, which includes Mr. Bert Al- bert, comedian and entertainer Mr. C. Wallace Orton, light comedian Mr. Johnnie Baxter, the smart; little coon singer and clever dancer and Mr. R. IreLa-nd Cutter, dude and light comedian. Mr. Blythe produced several concerted numbers written and composed by himself. All the items were thoroughly enjoyed, and encores were numerous. Mr. W. A. Pryce-Davis is the man- ager, to whom a great deal of the success of the early season is due. EASTER IN THE CHURCHES. The Easter services commenced on Easter Sunday with celebrations of Holy Communion at St. Paul's at 6, 7, and 8.15 a.m., the total number of ccxirumunican/ts at these and after morning ser. vice being 752. There was a very large con- gregation at matins at 11 a.m., the fine edifice being crowded. The service commenced with the processional hymn, Christ the Lord is Risen to-dlay." A children's service was held at 3 p.m. Again at evensongs the sacred edifice Was filled, the processional hymn being Jesus Christ is risen to-day." During the day two excellent sermons were preached by the Vicar (Canon Hugh Roberts) upon The Risen Christ." Evensong ended with the hymn, "Our day of praise is done as a recessional. An organ recital followed by Dr. Montagu Venables- Williams, a large numiber of people remaining to enjoy the recital.

Bevan, James Hilton, in the employ of Mr. John Harley Cooper, licensee of the Royal Hotel, was charged with being drunk and dis- orderly in the Abergele-road on the previous evening. The evidence showed that defendant was mad drunk, and upon the Bench enquiring where he could have obtained the drink, Mr. Harley explained that defendant had been to Llandudno Junction in the evening. Witness remarked that he had far more trouble with his men on. Sunday evening than on, all the other days of the week put together, as it was their custom to visit the Junction on that day by con- venient trains and return home in an ex- cited state. Defendant was let off on condition that he cleared out of the town "instanter."

Hands, our highly respected townsman, and people's warden at St. Paul's Church, is de- parting from Colwyn Bay to-morrow (Friday). Mr. Hands, who has lived in Colwyn Bay for twenty years, earned -for himself a popularity, particularly amongst Church folk, wihich will iiiot easily be -forgotten. Fie has acted as people's warden at St. Paul's Church for seven consecutive years, and this post: is n.o sinecure. However, Mr. Hands was able to do his work in a conscientious and amiable manner, and earned the respect and high regard of all with whom he came in contact, and his loss to, the Church and town will be greajtly felt. Mr. Hands intends visiting some friends in E ngr- land prior to his departure for Swaziland, South Africa, where his son is engaged in farm fruit growing. A presentation is to be made to Mr. W. R. Hands at the Easter Vestry, to be held at St Paul's Church this (Thursday) evening, at 8 o'clock. BRVNYMAEN SUNDAY SCHOOL.—The Vicar has appointed Mr. Riley to be Sunday School superintendent.

English service in the morning and a Welsh service in the evening. The Story of the Cross was- sung in the morndnlg, and the Vicar preached! from the Seven Words of our Lord when suffering on the tree.

Davies sing.ing two sacred solos, and we are pleased to gee the remainder of the choir, wlÜch has lately been added to, so regular in their attendance. The Lesions were read by Mr. Llewelyn, Davies at the Welsh services. The congregations were very large morning and evening.—COR. 11 G" COMPANY, 3RD BATT.

LLANDDULAS. THE PARISH COUNCIL.—Great interest has been taken in Llanddulas regarding the fate of the old Parish Council. For some reason or other, there was an opinion abroad that the Council did not advance the cause of the Parish as it should. The Council was to blame for not taking the parishioners into their confidence, and the majority of the ratepayers feel that there are several problems requiring immediate attention, such as workmen's dwellings, drain- age, water supply, and the lighting of dangerous places in the village during the dark winter nights. No fault is to. be found with the present drainage system as far as it goes; but the fact that there is not a better system in existence retards the building of new houses in the dis- trict for which there is a great demand by work- men and others. To face these difficulties it requires a body of men with business taot and determination. Therefore, it is pleasing to think we have in the new Council men fit for the work, and will carry it through. The parish- ioners are proud that wise cousels prevailed at the Parish meeting, and an election avoided. The new members. elected are Mr. B. H. Jones, Schoolmaster, who headed the list; the Rev. J. A. Enoch (Congregational Minister), Mr. David Williams, Bodafon, and Mr. Hugh Hughes, Mill- street. The re-elected membelrs are Canon Roberts, Messrs. R. B. Roberts, Fair View Inn, and Edwin Jones, grocer. Canon, Roberts has been a faithful member, and did well for the village at the St. Asaph (Denbigh) Rural Dis- trict Council, and Mr. R. B. Roberts is also an excellent member. It is hoped that the new Council will shew itself capable of overcoming the difficulties which it will undoubtedly be met with. QUARRY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday last an accident betfel an employee at Messrs. Kneeshaw, Lupton, and Co.'s quarries. Whilst Thomas Williams, of Llysfaen, was working at the quarry he had the misfortune to have his leg broken, and was conveyed to the Colwyn Cottage Hospital, where he is progressing as well as can be expected. Williams is a married man with a family, and is well known and very highly respected.

Mr. Osborne Roberts is shortly to be married to Miss Underwood, of this town. THE ST. TUDNO.—Better or more appro- I priate weather could not have been devised for the success of the Liverpool and North Wales stearmship season than has been the case this year. In fact, it has been ideal. The favourite steamer, St Tudno," has carried thousands of passengers from Thursday to Tuesday morn- ing between Liverpool and the Menai Straits,. and it speaks volumes for the excellent man- agement of the company, of whOlm Mr. Arthur Parton is the local agent, that not a hitch has occurred to mar the complete success of the Easter season.

RUMMAGE SALE.—A small rummage sale was held in connection with the Pensarn Calvinistic Methodist Chapel yesterday (Wednesday), and was a success. SEEING THE COMET.—An amusing inci- dent occurred in connection with a distinguish- ed citizen the other evening. Returning about midnight to his home, he found his wife im- patiently awaiting his arrival, who administered to him something in the nature of a candle's curtain lecture. He explained that there wtas good reason for his Late hours, as he had been watching the comet. "Comet," quoth the wife incredulously. Where is it?" Outshi)de, me dear replied he. The better half went out immediately to look for it; but could see no comet, only some gorsefires which illuminated the distant scene of the mountain above Con- way. Curtain! CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOUR ANNIVER- SARY.—The third anniversary meeting of the Church, Broad-street, on Tuesday evening, when the President, the Rev J. Luther Thomas, occupied the chair. The meeting was addressed by the Rev. David Griffiths, the blind pastor of Colwyn Bay. Solos were given by Miss Higginbottom, of Llandudno. Mr. Glyn Llew- elyn Jones prepared a good paper on "Charac- ter," and owing to his inability to be present the essay was read by Mrs. Squirrel!. An ex- cellent recitation was also given by Miss Gertie Powell, entitled The Wreck." Votes of thanks were proposed by Mr. Powell and seconded by Mrs. Griffiths. The President said a few re- marks about Mr. Powell, who is leaving the district for Swansea. The Christian Endeavour will miss him and family very much, as they have taken such an active part in and attended the meetings of the Society regularly. Mr. Griffiths gave a very fine address on "The Building of the Church," and Miss Higginibot- tDm sang I gave my life for thee," and "Though your sins be as scarlet" in a beautirful manner. S\ MPATIIY.—Quite a gloom was cast over the Junction when the news was heard of the tragic death of the winsome little six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Rogers Jones, of The Phar- macy, who died from burns received on Sun- day. The little fellow was a bright and clever little boy, and beloved by all who knew him. The greatest sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Jones in their very sudden and unexpected be- reavement.

BRYNYMAEN VESTRY MEETING.—The Vestry was held at Christ Church, Brynymaen, on Monday, at 11 a.m., the Vicar, Rev. R. Owen, M.A., Oxon., presiding. There was a fair at- tendance of parishioners, although it was Bank Holiday. The retiring Churchwardens were Vicar's, Messrs. John Barnes and Thomas Wynn Parish, Miss M. M. Frost and Mr. Hugh Jones. Mr. Barnes declined to be re-appointed, having served since the Church was consecrated by the Bishop of St. Asaph in 1897. The Vicar there- fore appointed as his wardens Messrs. Sarson and Jones. The parishioners elected unani- mously Miss Frost and Mr. Hugh Jones as their wardens. The Vicar then appointed his four Sidesmen, Messrs. Mellor, Hughes, Roberts, and Barnes; the parishioners appointed Messrs. Dukes, Riley, Lawrence, and Turner. The Vicar also appointed Mr. Jas. Burwell as organist, Mr. Llewelyn Davies as leader of the choir, and Mr. John Jones, Pant, as verger. A vote of thanks was passed to the retiring officers, which was acknowledged by Mr. Barnes, who then pro- posed a vote of thanks to the Vicar for presid- ing, which was duly acknowledged. SPECIAL CONCERT. The undoubted popularity of Mr. Harry Reynolds is due in no small measure to the eagerness he invariably displays to help any deserving cause. His latest action has been to arrange a special con- cert on Wednesday evening, the proceeds of which will be in aid of the funds of the local association of the Y.M.C.A. Several artistes have been engaged for this occasion, and it is hoped that Mr. Reynolds himself will be able to appear. Needless to say the ever popular animated pictures will provid-e a part of what promises to be a very .attractive programme.
