LLANFAIRFECHAN. At Llanfairfechan, Friday was observed as a day of mourning. At Christ Church, a memor- ial service was held. The Church was packed to overflowing. As the congregation took their places Mr. Llewelyn Jones, F.R.C.O., played Chopin's funeral march. The service was a special one throughout and was most imprssive. The Dead March in Saul was played' on the organ by Mr. Llewelyn Jones, and by the drums of the nth Company of the Manchester Boys Brigade, who together with several mem- bers of the Council, and a detachment of the Boy Scouts, were present at the service. At the close of the service, the band of the brigade went outside and sounded the Last post. The boys afterwards marched back to the school yard, and there they were inspected and addressed by Col. Platt, C.B. The Rector, who delivered a very appropriate address at the service, also visited the boys in the Public Hall, and thanked them for their services. A united Nonconformist service was also held in the Wesleyan Chapel, and here there was an excellent congregation.

-4. A Salvation Army Wedding and Banquet. It is said that there is nothing new under the sun, but we have seen something new in Col- wyn Bay during this week-a wedding in real Salvation Army style. The ceremony took place at the Congregational Church on Monday, at 2.15 o'clock, in the presence of hundreds of in. terested spectators. The bride and bridegroom were Miss Mabel Ringwood, of Manchester, and Mr. Bert Rolls, of Colwyn Bay, both captains of the Salvation Army. The ceremony was per- formed by Brigadier Beveridge, of Liverpool. The wedding party—seven in all—stood within the communion rail, facing the audience. They all wore the Salvation Army uniform, the bride and bridesmaid being distinguished by a white sash worn over the shoulder. The vow was taken under the Salvation Army Flag, which was waved overhead from the pulpit. The ceremony gives an ordinary spectator the im- pression that the interests of the contracting parties are largely subordinated to the interests of the Army. For them, marriage seems to be a Divine institution primarily, not for the comfort and help of man, and that families might be trained up in obedience, love, wisdom and piety," but that the work of the Army may be carried on more efficiently. They vow to be true to the Army till death releases them, and the death of the one does not cancel the vow of the other. A very pleasing incident in the ceremony was the singing of a wedding hymn by half a dozen little girls dressed in white. A great feature of the day was a wedding banquet. It is generally understood that Sal- vation Army officers are not over flush with what are considered in t)ther spheres the sinews of war," and the wedding banquet has for its object, amongst other things, the begin- ing of a little grist to the mill of the new home, or the providing of the wherewithal for a brief honeymoon. When the young people of the Congregational Christian Endeavour heard of the coming event, they at once said, We'll help provide the wedding banquet." Mrs. Lloyd said, I'll get the monev," and the others said, We'll do the work- One said, £ I'll make the bride's cake." So it was decided. The guests were to have the privilege of paying a shilling each, for the Salvation Army believe profoundly in the Scriptural dic- tum that it is More blessed to give than to receive. These shillings were gathered, and o 7e,1ue the valu« was presented to Capt. an«Mrs. Rolls by iIrs- Lloyd and Miss Booth on behalf of the Christian Endeavour. In the evening there was a public meeting, when several addresses were given, and thus a very happy function was brought to a close (COR.)

The Evolution of Advertising. The columns of a paper and the pages of a magazine which are occupied by advertisements have shown a series of changes during the last decade. Even so short a while as ten vears back the appearance of advertisements, the manner in which they were written and illus- trated offers a contrast to the advertisements of to-day. Now it is quite an ordinary matter for a magazine to have beautifully designed pages of advertisenents, printed in a variety of colours, and containing work of the finest artists. The now old-fashioned and rather ugly, bald an- nouncement has given way to the more attrac- tive design with the wording prepared by a specialist in his business, It has been said that the most interesting part of a magazine is the advertisement pages, but though this may be going too far, yet the adver- tisements put out by some of our leading houses are of such merit in their appearance and in the way in which they appeal to the reader that they can be judged from a very high standard. To give still further facilities for the conveying of an idea which the advertiser wishes to be gener- ally accepted, the specialist in charge of the appeal to the public through the papers has deviated from the orthodox track and has added a usefulness in the advertisements that is quite new. A few years since an up-to-date adver- tisement of the time would have made its appeal to readers through a statement that so-and-so's soap is the best." Now, the same firm would not be keeping in the front if it relied on such a crude claim. The evidence of why it is the best is now attempted, and whatever the article spoken of, the principles are alike, in that every reason which carries persuasion or conviction is employed to compel belief, rather than de- mand it without sufficient reason. The useful method adopted by one of the most progressive firms is evidenced in the ad- vertisement columns of this paper weekly. The convenience of Cakeoma has been recognised through its advertising, the most modern phase of which goes further than the making of a bald claim of quality and convenience, by the publica- tion of useful, inexpensive recipes, with all the instructions that any housewife requires to make cakes or puddings to her own and her family's satisfaction. It represents the latest and one of the most satisfactory phases of printer's ink- salemanship.

Music by the Sea. VICTORIA PIER CONCERTS, COLWYN BAY. Throughout Whit-week large audiences at- tended the concerts of the Victoria Pier Com- pany, held in the Pavilion or in the open air at the end of the Pier extension, and the cap- able orchestra, under the baton of Mr. W. For- rest-Hague, becomes still more popular as the season proper approaches. A stronger list of at- tractions than has been seen for a long time in the town was provided by the presence of the Smart Set Entertainers, who had a most suc- cessful week, and Mr Lauri WTylie, whose clever turn was received with no less enthusiasm than upon his previous visit last season. A special memorial concert was arranged for Friday evening, particulars of which appear in another colmun. THE SATURDAY CONCERT. On Saturday the orchestra performed the first part of their programme in the Pavilion. It included the overture from The Bohemian Girl descriptive piece, The Phantom Bri- gade waltz, The Druid's Prayer," and a selection from The Arcadians." The second part of the programme was filled by Mr. Lauri, who gave amusing impersonations of popular music hall artistes with his mimicking manni- kin and the Smart Set Entertainers. The fa- vourite members of this talented company proved to be Miss Lena Hutchings, who gave delightful soprano songs, notably Prince Charming Miss Georgie Martin, comedienne, whose singing and dancing, together with her duets in conjunction with Mr. Walter George on each occasion brought down the house Mr. Edgar Hulland, pianist and accompanist, whose every pianoforte solo was encored and Mr. Walter George himself, the leader and origina- tor of all costume parties. On Sunday the artiste was Miss Nellie Mc- Adam (contralto), who is appearing throughout the week. Miss McAdam was encored for her rendering of Now the day is over," and at a later stage sang Queen of Angels (Picco- lomini). Among the orchestral items were the overture to Raymond (Thomas) suite, Norwegian Scenes," and Capriccio Italien" (Tschaikowsky). THE MYSTERIOUS MARRIOTTS." Beginning on Monday evening, Mr. W. H. Elston, one of England's best-known impres- sarios, has arranged to present a series of five companies of specially selected London and provincial artistes. An endeavour is to be made to please all Pier patrons, as only those artistes who have excelled in their profession upon the London concert platform or vaudeville stage have been engaged. In our later issues fuller particulars of each company will be given, but for the benefit of our readers we do not think any breach of confidence is being committed in publishing the names and description of the performances of a few of the more prominent artistes, who include The Marriotts," the Technopathists whose wonderfully silent pro- cess of thought transmission recently created such a sensation at the London Pavilion and that world renowned home of mystery, the St. James' Hall, controlled by Messrs. Maskelyne and Devant, Miss Hilda Morris, the latest Carl Rosa recruit, who is to play several leading soprano roles in opera; Mr. Harry Thornton, baritone, brother to Miss Edna Thornton, the celebrated contralto; Miss Gwladys Williams, justly described as the greatest humorous and dramatic reciter Wales has ever produced Mr. Olley Oakley, England's premier banjoist, whose gramaphone records are known all over the world Miss Fanny Wentworth, enter- tainer Herr Essler Viessen, a remarkably clever illusionist direct from the Palace Theatre. Lon- don the Pollock Opera Company, who are to give scenas in costume from several operas; Mr. Wilson Pembroke, late Principal tenor, Moody Manners Opera, No. i Companies and a host of other equally strong attractions which space will not permit us to describe. Our best wish to the Pier management and so enterprising an impressario as Mr. W. H. Elston is that Colwyn Bay and immediate dis- tricts will show their hearty appreciation by sending large audiences nightly to encourage the continuance of what promises to be a most successful venture. There will be an entire change of artistes each week, while at no two concerts will the same programme be repeated. On Monday the Marriotts, Mind Readers, commenced a weekly engagement, and were as ever successful in completely mystifying their audience by a remarkable display of thought transmission." It is claimed on behalf of Madame Marriott that she is gifted with the most wonderful powers imaginable, which statement few indeed would be prepared to dis- pute after having once observed her at work. The performance throughout is in silence, in which respect it differs from the many so-called thought transmission performances which are to be explained by a code cunningly woven into commonplace phrases. Mr. Marriott presents a series of illusions, and it may be added both he and Madame Marriott solicit every possible test as to how it is done." The other artistes of the week in addition to Miss McAdam are Mr. Bridge Peters, the possessor of a fine baritone voice; Miss Miriame Watts, soubrette, who capably ren- ders humorous songs and Miss Joyce Flawn, a skilful solo pianist and accompanist. With the exception of Sunday evening, when the orchestra performs inside the Pavilion, the orchestral concerts are held at the end of the Pier extension, the repertoire programme being given in the Pavilion. In the event of unfavourable weather, the first part of the programme is given by the orchestra and the second by the repertoire com- pany. Open air promenade concerts by the orchestra take place in the mornings at II. Throughout the day admission to the Pier and open air concerts is twopence, and to the Pavilion sixpence. Weekly tickets to the grand lounge may be obtained, price 4s., and to the second seats, price 3s.

Colwyn Bay National Eisteddfod.

Colwyn Bay National Eisteddfod. A meeting of the Executive Committee of the above Eisteddfod was held on Wednesday even- ing last, when the Chairman, Mr. James Am- phlett, presided over a fair attendance. THE LATE KING. The Chairman referred to the death of King Edward and to his late Majesty's attendance at the London Eisteddfod in 1887, and the con- ferring upon him of an honorary degree at the Carnarvon Eisteddfod, in 1894. King Edward was the greatest King England had ever seen. He moved the following resolution:—"The Executive Committee of the Royal National Eis- teddfod of WTales of 1910 desire to express their profound grief at the death of His Majesty King Edward VII. (Iorwerth Dywysog), one of the Patrons of the Eisteddfod, and to respectfully tender to His Majesty the King and Queen Mary, the Queen-Mother Alexandra, and the Royal Family, their sincere sympathy in the bereavement they have sustained." The resolution was passed by all present up- standing. THE EISTEDDFOD CHOIR. Arising out of the minutes of the Musical Com- mittee a letter was read, which appeared in the Press, addressed by the Secretary of the Colwyn Bay Higher Education Sub-Committee to the County Education Committee, which was as follows :— 1 am instructed to call your attention to a matter which my Committee consider irregular. They understand the Eisteddfod Choir -Com- mittee are applying, through the County Coun- cil, for the recognition of the Eisteddfod Choir practices, which is only got together for re- hearsals, in order to earn a grant, as an ele- mentary musical choir. For your information, I am requested to say the matter came before my Committee, and they do not think that a choir rehearsing comes under the head of an ele- mentary class. According to the scheme, the re- gular mode of procedure should be as follows :— The application should come before the Joint Local Committee, and their recommendation transmitted to the Higher Education Com- mittee, and they do not understand why the Local Committee should be ignored. If it is true that the County Council has allowed the form to go through for recognition by the Board of Education, so as to earn grant, my Com- mittee venture to think it is not fair that the matter should be taken over their heads, as any choir could ask to be helped in the same way, and they do not know where it is going to end." The General Secretary read a letter which, with the approval of the Music Committee, he had addressed to Mr. Holmes, the Secretary of the Local Education Authority, and which was as follows:- 10th May, 1910. Dear Sir,—1 see from a newspaper report that you have written to the County Education Authority complaining that our procedure in connection with the application for a Govern- ment Grant for the Eisteddfod Choir was ir- regular. I fear that your letter was written under a misapprehension, as the following facts will show :— The matter was, in the first instance, brought before your Committee, as you admit, and 1 was informed that they were of opinion that the application should have been made earlier, that is, by the 1st September. You now state that the view they took was that a choir rehearsing does not come under the head of an elementary class.' Whichever of these versions happens to be the correct one, the fact remains that your Committee were not disposed to assist us. We then communi- cated with the Board of Education, which we had a perfect right to do, and in my letter to them 1 stated quite frankly that application had been made to your Committee, but that they could not help us. The Board of Educa- tion, curiously enough, were much more sym- pathetic than the Local Committee. They forwarded certain forms to be filled up, and sug- gested that, if the classes were not to be worked under the direction of the Local Education Authority (which was the fact), they should be sent to the Clerk to the County Council to be countersigned. The forms were accordingly sent to Mr. W. R. Evans, together with the letter from the Board of Education, and they were returned countersigned. The statements in your letter, therefore, that the matter has been taken over the heads of your Committee, and that they have been ignored,' have no foundation. It is also incorrect to say that the choir has been only got together for rehearsals for the Eisteddfod. That was certainly the primary object, but the intention is that the choir shall be continued after the Eisteddfod is over, and it is hoped that it will keep together for many years to come, and be a credit to the district. Simi- lar choirs, in different parts of the country, are receiving the grant, and the Eisteddfod Com- mittee were very much disappointed to find that your Committee, who might very fairly be ex- pected to do all they could to further the appli- cation, were not disposed to assist. Their decision, however, was in no way final, and my Committee cannot be blamed for appealing against it. I am sending a copy of this letter to the Clerk to the County Council, to which body, understand, the matter has been referred. Yours faithfullv, T. R. ROBERTS. F. J. Holmes, Esq., Clerk to the Local Education Committee, Colwyn Bay. A discussion followed, as to the desirability of publishing the letter. By an almost unani- mous vote, it was decided that, inasmuch as Mr. Holmes' letter had been published, it was only fair to the Eisteddfod Committee that their ver- sion of the matter should also be made public. THE BUILDING OF THE PAVILION. The General Purposes Committee reported that the contract for the Pavilion, amounting to ^1,215, was about to be signed, and that the contractors, Messrs. L. H. Woodhouse & Co., Nottingham, would commence work probably early in June. In view of a certain amount of anxiety which seemed to exist a9 to the erection of the Pavilion, the General Secretary pointed out that under the contract the work had to be completed by the 20th August, three weeks before the Eisteddfod, under a penalty of ^50 per day, and it was said that the contractors would have no difficulty in putting up the building in eight or nine weeks. ADVERTISING. The report of the Advertising Sub-Committee was presented. The tender of Messrs. Davies & Son, Hope Bank, for making four advertising boards for the Promenade and two for the rail- way station, for £ 8 17s. 4d., was recommended for acceptance and adopted. A letter was read from Mr. L. A. P. Warner, the District Superintendent of the L. & N.-W. Railway Company, agreeing to the fixing of two large advertising boards on the railway station free of charge but he suggested that the boards should be left there after the Eisteddfod for the purpose of advertising the town. It was resolved to accept these terms with thanks. THE WELSH CONCERT. It was decided to engage the services of Mr. David EFis, Cefn Mawr, as one of the vocalists for this concert.
