NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.— On Thursday afternoon, as several children were playing near the still pool, one of them, named Griffith Parry, 9 years of age, son of Mr. and Mrs. Parry, Bank .Llugwy, fell into the water. This was at a spot where the pool was over seven feet deep. The children raised an alarm, which drew the attention of Mr. D. D. Williams, postman, who immediately rushed to the riverside, and without divesting himself of any of his clothing plunged into the water. He secured the child, brought him ashore, and con- veyed home. Medical aid was at once sum- moned, and although the child was unconscious for a couple of hours, he gradually came round, and is now none the worse for his immersion. The greatest credit is due to Mr. Williams for his brave and prompt action. It is hoped that this will be brought to the notice of the Humane Society for recognition. FISHING.—On Thursday, at the Black Pool, Mr. Connell Smith, of the Gwydyr Hotel, secured a fresh run salmon, weighing 7 lbs. On Friday he landed another, weighing nibs., from the same pool. FUNERAL OF THE LATE DR. PRICHARD.—The remains of the late Dr. Llewelyn Prichard were interred on Tuesday, at Lodge Hill Cemetery. The mourners were Mrs Prichard (widow), Mr. and Mrs. Willmott Tay- lor (sister and brother-in-law), Miss Prichard (sister). Floral tributes were sent by Mrs. Prichard his two little children Mr. and Mrs. J. Anwyl Prichard, Cape Town; Mr. and Mrs. Willmott Taylor; Miss Prichard Mr. and Mrs. Tayleur, Rhyl; Misses Owen Jones, Rhyl; Mrs. Alison Johnson, Corfton Hall, Shropshire Mrs. Wright, Boycott, Shropshire; Mr. and Mrs. Mercer, London Mrs. McCullock, Bettws- y-Coed; Mr. and Mrs. Somerset, Bettws-y. Coed; Misses Williams, Hendre, Bettws-y- Coed; Rev. R. M. Jones, M.A., The Vicarage, Bettws-y-Coed Mr. and Mrs J. Wynne, Bettws- y-Coed; Mr. and Mrs. H. Hughes, Bettws-y- Coed; Miss K. Williams, Llanrwst. At St. Mary's Church, on Sunday morning the hymn, Brief life is here our portion was rendered in memoriam, and at the evening service the Vicar in his sermon made references to the loss of one who had made himself so useful in the work of the Church of which he was a member. He served as a sidesman, and as a member of the Literary Society he read several excellent papers on scientific subjects. The Vicar had found him most willing to assist in every move- ment. He was most genial and assiduous in his professional ministrations. The preacher in closing his remarks referred also to the late Mr. Christmas Evans, of Glan Aber. ACCIDENT. An accident of a somewhat serious nature befel Mr. Robert Williams, Ty Ucha', Rhiwddolion, whilst following his oc- cupation at the Oakley Quarry, Festiniog. It appears that Williams was by some means struck by the handle of a crane, receiving a nasty cut on his head. He was conveyed to his lodging, and is now progressing favourably. AUTOMOBILE CLUB.-The Manchester Automobile Club held their annual reliability trials on Saturday. Luncheon was partaken of at the Royal Oak, and the weighing in was done at the station. Over 30 cars took part in the trials. CONCERT.—A concert of a high standard was given at the Girls' School on Saturday even- ing, presided over by Mr. G. H. Arfon, the ar- tistes were Mrs. Phillips (Llinos Elsi), Mrs. Lewis and Mr. Evan Lewis, Capel Curig; Mr. D. C. Hughes, iBettws-y-Coed; and Mr. D. Felix Davies, Bangor; and the accompanist was Miss Gwladys Jones, Llangefni. The pro. gramme throughout was most enjoyable, and much appreciated by the large audience, who frequently demanded encores. Perhaps the most interesting part of the programme was the pre- sentation to Mr. D. C. Hughes, the well-known I I local tenor (who is about to leave the district for the States) with a handsome diamond ring. The presentation was made on behalf of his many friends by Mrs. Lewis, and Mr. Hughes suitably responded. PROPERTY SALE. Messrs. Robert and Rogers Jones offered for sale, at the Eagles Hotel, on Tuesday, the leasehold hotel known as Pontypair Hotel, Bettwsycoed. The first bid was £500, which rose to £575, at which figure the auctioneer announced that the lot would be withdrawn. The next lot was the leasehold property called Snowdon Villa, situated on the main road in Bettwsycoed. A bid of £150 was followed by one of £200, and at that figure the lot was withdrawn. The auctioneer announced that he would be pleased to treat privately at the conclusion for any of the lots. The solicitors for the first lot were Messrs. Skewes-Cox, Nash and Co., London, and for the second Messrs. Richard James and Humphreys, Llanrwst. VAGRANCY.—On Tuesday, at a special Court, before Col.

BADGER HUNT.—Last week, on the woody slope of Dolgarrog, one of the shepherds was going his rounds, accompanied by his dogs, one of which happened to be a terrier, when his attention was drawn to a spot by the barking of his terrier. After a short examination of the place, it was found that a badger had been located. The shepherd hurried to a neighbour- ing farm and secured the help of another man and a gun, and very soon the badger was un- earthed and slain. It was a male badger, in excellent condition, weighing 23! lbs. A curious thing in connection with it was that its ear was marked in the same way as sheep's ears are marked. OTTER HUNT.—The otter hounds paid their periodical visit to the Conway River last week, and were successful in catching two otters. FOX HUNT. Mr. G. Williams, Hendy, man- aged to catch a young fox one of these last days, and has it kept in a cage in his farmyard, where the children flock to see it. ^1* LOWER SHOW.-—The Committee of the Vale of Conway Horticultural Show was held on Friday evening, when the judges and col- lectors were appointed and other arrangements made.

CHURCH LADS GUILD.—The founder of the Church Lads Guild, the Rev. Ll. A. Richards, has succeeded in obtaining a useful club room in the Coed Coch-road, above the Garage, where the members are now enabled to meet nightly to indulge in semi-billiards, and gymnastics games, &c.

JOHN'S TOWER FUND.—A meeting of parishioners and others interested in the erec- tion of the tower of St. John's, Colwyn, has been convened by the Vicar, the Rev. J. Griffiths, and Messrs.

DEATH OF MR. J. S. SMITH.—We regret to record the death of Mr. Joseph Samuel Smith, of No. 6, Marine Crescent, which sad event took place on Thursday, after a considerable illness. Mr. Smith, who was in his 62nd year, previous to his coming to reside in Colwyn 28 years ago, was a cotton specialist in Alexandria, Egypt. He was an esteemed Churchman, and took a keen interest in matters relating to the district. He leaves a widow and two sons and daughter to mourn his loss. The funeral took place on Monday, the body being conveyed to the parish Church of St. Catherine's, where a choral service was held, and conducted by the Vicar, the Rev. John Griffiths, and the Rev. LI. A. Richards, prior to interment at Llandrillo Churchyard. The chief mourners were Mrs. J. S. Smith, Mr. Bertram Smith (son), South Africa and Dr. and Mrs. Sutcliffe (daughter and son-in-law). Beautiful wreaths were sent by Mrs. J. S. Smith and family; Mrs. Thomas Howe and family, Colwyn; Mr. Rees and family, Monsieur and Madame Caprell, Colwyn; the Misses Lambert, Rev. LI. A. Richards, Miss Oates, Miss Long, and Miss Ford. The funeral arrangements were carried out by Messrs. D. Allen and Sons, Station-road, Colwyn Bay. G.F.S.—The meeting in connection with the Girls' Friendly Society, which should have been held on the 24th May, has been postponed to Tuesday next. PIER CONCERTS.—Patrons of the concerts at the Victoria Pier Pavilion residing in Col- wyn will be pleased to learn that the London and North-AVestern Railway are now running a motor omnibus at 10 p.m. from Colwyn Bay to the Queen's Hotel. The omnibus awaits the close of the Pier concert in the evening, and no doubt the vehicle will be extensively pat- ronised. At the sacred concert on Sunday the artiste will be Miss Kathleen Maureen. WHITEHAVEN FUND.—The Rev. Edward Armitage Wade has been busy during the past week collecting for the Whitehaven Relief Fund. To date he has received the sum of £4 8s., which he has forwarded to the proper quarter. In the course of a day spent in the Crewe dis- trict, Mr. Wade collected 33s. Mr. W. Yates Craig, late Member of Parliament for North Staffordshire, was so impressed by Mr. Wade's appeal that he sent him a sovereign. The col- lection box outside Mr. Wade's residence, Ken- wyn, Abergele-road, is being well supported.

GLAN CONWAY. I For Perfect Fitting and Natural-looking Arti- ficial Teeth go to Kay and Sons, Ty'n-y-Ffordd, Abergele Road, Colwyn Bay. Calls at Mr. Griffiths, Brisbane House, Victoria Terrace, Glan Conway, on Wednesdays. IN SUNNY ITALY.—Mr. Humphrey Jones, of Hendrewaelod, accompanied by his daugh- ter, Miss Gladys Jones, is sojourning in Italy. NEW VICARAGE.—We understand that if is intended to have a new Rectory erected between the old and new villages off the main road. For some time Churchmen have considered that the Rectory- was at the wrong end of the vil- lage, considering the fact that the increasing number of residences erected are all farthest away from the present Rectory. BEAUTIFUL GLAN CONWAY "—Such was the expression overheard on Monday even- ing from some visitors who are staying in the south or new end of the village. There are a goodly number of high-class visitors at this fashionable end of the village. Mr. Clough re- turned on Monday evening after a holiday in Surrey, and we understand he will shortly be going abroad, as is his wont each summer. ANNUAL SUNDAY SCHOOL UNITED TRIP.—A meeting was held on Monday even. ing, at the National Schools, of the various re- presentatives of the Nonconformist Schools re- garding the fixing of a day for the annual Sun- day School excursion. As all the committees have not yet come together, the day and place will again be fixed. It is wonderful what a de- side there is among the young bloods for Blackpool as the rendezvous. Perhaps last year's flying craze has stimulated the desire for Black- pool amongst many this year. I BOWLS.—-Mr. Winstanley, the genial pro- prietor of the Conway Vale Hotel Bowling Green, in which much care and pains have been exercised to bring it to its present pitch of perfection, has reason to be proud of the result achieved. Bowls have become a popular pastime in the place, and already there are adepts blossoming in the game, which is both pleasant, interesting, and recreative. A number of players are to be seen each evening upon the green, and the view they obtained of the sunset on Monday evening, when the setting sun looked like a huge ball of fire on the top of the mountain, was a sight well worth going a long way to see. The situation of the Conway Vale Hotel Bowling Green is one of the most charm- ing in North Wales. NOVEL RAILWAY FEATURE.—The Lon- don and North-Western Railway Company is well known for its up-to-dateness in almost everything they do, and when the inhabitants and passengers of this village heard of the in- tentions of the railway company to build a new station, there was joy thereat. Whatever m,ay be the cause for the delay in the erection of a new station we do not profess to know, but the ingenious device of having three boxes for passengers to step on between the compartment and the platform, which is low down, has caused great surprise and amusement. It i3, to say the least, novel to find passengers top- ping boxes, and the humorous side is shown when a well-known local gentleman, when he desired to talk with a lady friend in one of the compartments, runs for a box and forms an in- teresting picture. But possibly boxes are even a means to an end.

C.E., conducted an in- quiry in the Guildhall, on behalf of the Local Government Board, into the application of the Corporation for approval of the borrowing of Ziooo for the execution of works for the pro- tection and improvement of the Morfa. Coun- cillor James Porter, the Chairman of the Estate Committee, was present, together with the Town Clerk, the Borough Engineer and the Borough Accountant. The usual statistics were given, and the Borough Surveyor fully explained the purpose of the proposed loan, after which the Inspector decided to view the proposed work in company with the Surveyor. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.—A charge of not sending his child to school regularly was pre- ferred against Edward Roberts, Machno-terrace, at the Police Court on Monday, but it was ad- journed for the attendance of the defendant.— William Rowlands, Lower High-street, was similarly charged, the attendance officer stating that it was i a regular thing in the family to keep the children at home. Only a short time ago they got a certificate from the Registrar, and altered the boy's age to 14 years, in order to try and get him from school. The father admitted this, but said he did not know who altered it. A fine of 5s. and costs was imposed. THE DRINK.—At the Police Court, on Mon- day, William Rowlands, Erskine-terrace, was fined 2S. 6d. and costs for being drunk in York Place on the 7th May. Llewelyn Roberts, The Cottage, Roewen, was similarly fined for a similar offence committed in Roewen village on the 30th April. MR. CLARENCE WHAITE.—Our readers will regret to learn that the veteran President of the Royal Cambrian Academy met with a somewhat serious accident on the day of the King's funeral, in London, by falling from the steps of an omnibus as he was alighting. He was immediately taken to St. George's Hos. pital, where he was found to be suffering from concussion. Mr. Whaite is still in hospital, but he is progressing very favourably, having been allowed to sit up for an hour on Sunday last.

A. DELA- MOTTE, Chief Officer. ACCIDENT TO A YACHT.—On Sunday morning a fine two-masted yacht entered the river and moored under the trees on the Marine Drive. On Monday morning, however, it broke loose from its moorings, and with the receding tide drifted on to the rocks on the point, and there remained high and dry throughout the day until the tide in the evening carried it safe- Iv awav. DEATH OF MR. EDWARD JONES.—The death took place last Wednesday of 'Mr. Ed- ward Jones at his home in Sefton-park, Liver- pool, at the age of 68 years. The deceased gentleman was a native of Conway, having re- sided at the Abbey, in High-street, and he was very well known by the old inhabitants of the town. At an early age he entered the service of the L. and N.-W. Railway Co. at Conway as goods clerk, and for some years he held the post of stationmaster at Carnarvon. For a period of twenty-eight years he was manager of the Port Nant Quarries, Pwllheli. He leaves a widow and family to mourn his loss. The funeral took place in the Smithdown-road I Cemetery, on Monday, among the chief mourners being Messrs. G. J. Jones and Ernest Jones (sons), Master E. Jones (grand- son), Mr. M. Wynne Williams (son-in-law), Messrs. David R. Jones, David Hughes, W. H. Jones, and Glynne Williams (nephews). The deceased was a brother-in-law of the late Capt. Roberts, who was buried in Conway in January last. CARTREF MELUS PARTY.—On Thursday that venerable and charming lady, Mrs. Lees, of Cartref Melus, Conway, achieved the dignity of three score years and ten." It is allowed to less than the average of the inhabitants of this earth to reach that age, but at 70 years Mrs. Lees looks considerably younger than her real age, and she enjoys health which some young- sters would envy. Owing to the business en- gagements of her daughter's husband, a cele- bration on Thursday was out of the question, but on Saturday there assembled at Cartref Melus, a dinner party which represented nearly the whole of the family. Her mother's family were there in the person of her sister, Mrs. W. Smith, who was accompanied by her husband. Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Lees were also present, and other members of the family present were Mrs. Lees' three daughters with their husbands. The party was augmented by the presence of Mrs. Pollitt, cousin of Mrs. Lees, and Mr. Pollitt, her hus- band, who is a well known fellow-townsman. Toasts were proposed and accepted with en- thusiasm. We join her many friends in con- gratulating Mrs. Lees upon the auspicious an- niversary. CRICKET.—On Saturday afternoon a very enjoyable game of cricket was played on the Morfa between teams representing the married and single members of the newly formed cricket club. The match resulted in a win for the bachelors by the narrow margin of nine runs. SPECIAL COURT.—On Wednesday morn- ing, before Dr. Prichard and the Mayor, George Wickens, hailing from Maidstone, was charged by P.C. Davies with sleeping out at Panty- graianog, and further with being drunk. He was ordered to pay a fine of 10s. and costs or in default 14 days. A BEQUEST.-Amongst the bequests of Miss Harriet Sydney Hughes, of Bryn Menai, Ban. gor, who left estate valued at Z40,774 gross, with net personalty of £36,660 is one of f20 to her servant, Margaret Jones, of Conway. ROAD TO MOUNTAIN.—Mr. J. W. Hughes, solicitor, Conway, has called our at- tention to a paragraph which appeared in our last week's issue, with reference to the pro- posed temporary footpath to Conway Mountain from Cadnant Park, and states the suggestion that there is want of expedition of the part of his client is not only misleading but quite in- accurate. It appears now, however, that the matter has been finally settled to the satisfac- tion of all parties, the Corporation sealing the contract at a special meeting held last (Wednes- day) night.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS DEMONSTRATION. —A very pleasing and interesting demonstration of the children of thirteen of the Nonconformist Sunday Schools took place on Sunday after- noon in the Happy Valley. The procession, which was a very long one, was headed by the St. Tudno Silver Band, and included the sev- eral ministers and teachers of the respective de- nominations. Arrived at the Happy Valley, the premises occupied for his performances during the week by Mr. Churchill, were kindly lent for the occasion. Mr. John Roberts, Bryn Celyn, conducted the proceedings, and Mr. T. Osborne Roberts was the leader. The Rev. W. R. Roberts delivered an English address. The singing of the children, which was swelled by that of a large number of the public present, was very effective. Owing to the rain falling during the proceedings, the demonstration had to be cut short nevertheless, the first attempt may be considered a great success. PRINCE'S THEATRE.—Notwithstanding the warm weather which has prevailed, the attend- ances at the Prince's Theatre are very gratify- ing. Another excellent programme is provided for this week, which includes the Richards Trio in their eccentric novelty acrobatic act. This is their first appeaarnce in Llandudno, and the turn is one of the best. The other artistes are Tom Merry, character comedian, in his latest success, Sergeant Green and The Seaside Waiter William Kingsley, the most artistic and sensational handbell soloist in the world Master George Doonan, boy comedian and ex- pert dancer and Fayre and Manning, the "two in green." The living pictures are as interest- ing as ever, and this week includes the cup final between Barnsley and Newcastle United. At the request of several patrons, Mr. Arnold Macara has decided to have a morning fixture performance on wet days at eleven o'clock. CHRIST CHURCH CHOIR TRIP .-Accom. panied by the Rev. J.

¡ LLANFAIRFECHAN. MODEL YACT REGATTA.-The sports and model yacht regatta promoted in connection I with the May-Day festivities were arranged to be held on Saturday, but owing to the weather conditions, the sports had to be abandoned in- definitely. Later in the evening, however, the regatta was held on the model yacht pond, but the entries were not near so numerous as in previous competitions, and the climatic condi- tions also militated considerably against the at- tendance around the pond. Mr. W. Timmins and Mr. F. H. Hughes, the Secretary, were the chief men in charge. The first race was for model yachts 12 inches and under, and this was won by W. J. Jones, the second prize going to William Williams. In the next class for boats 18 inches and under, W. J. Jones was again the winner, with Henry Jorss second. Still another first prize came to W. J. Jones, with the 27-inch boats, William Williams again being second. The result for boats of over 27 inches was similar. The race for yachts 12 in- ches and under to be sailed by children under 12 years of age was very interesting. Robert Roberts was first, Thomas Jones second, and Nelson Jorss third. Prizes were very kindly presented by Miss Wynne, Mrs. A. Davies, Messrs. Swain, T. Hughes, R. H. Williams, J. O. Jones, J. Price, E. J. Thomas, and Rams- den Smith.

Ultimately the tenders were referred to the Finance Committee for consideration. THE RECREATION GROUND.—The Coun- cil at its meeting on Tuesday night adopted the scheme of the sub-committee appointed with re- ference to the laying out of the recreation ground and other improvements on the fore- shore. ORGAN RECITAL.—Last evening (Wednes- day), Mr. Llewelyn Jones, F.R.C.O., gave a very successful organ recital in Christ Church. A COUNCILLOR'S LOSS.—On Monday morning Councillor Henry Jorss suffered a heavy loss by the sinking of his excellent yacht, which has become famous for its trips to Puffin Island and back. The yacht was moored safely opposite Bryn y Neuadd and weathered a heavy sea on Saturday night and Sunday morning. As late as Sunday night the yacht was seen to be all right, but on Monday night it was found sunk. The accident is quite a mystery, but there is some reason to suspect that the plug in the vessel had been taken out, and the water allowed to get in her. She has been very con- siderably damaged. PENYCLIP WORKS.—The Deputy Clerk of the Penmaenmawr Council (Mr. J. W. Post) wrote to the local Council stating that at a joint meeting of the two Councils with reference to the protection works at Penyclip it was pro- posed by Colonel Darbishire, and seconded by Mr. W. G. Roberts, and carried, that it be re- commended to the Llanfairfechan Council that as the meeting understood the Office of Woods were now prepared to grant the land upon which the protection works were necessary, that the Council gives instructions for plans, sections, estimates and specifications to be prepared at once, in order that the same might be submitted to the County Council at the next meeting, and also to the Local Government Board if a loan was to be obtained. It was further recom- mended that the Llanfairfechan Surveyor apply to the County Council for a copy of Sir Ben- jamin Baker's and Dr. Etheridge's report. At the meeting of the local Council, on Tuesday, it was decided, on the motion of Mr. T. G. Morgan, seconded by Mr. W. Timmins, that the matter be referred to the Highway Committee. THE WHITEHAVEN DISASTER.—Mr. Henry Jorss, who made a collection for the re- latives of the victims of the Whitehaven dis- aster, has received a receipt from the Secre- tary of the fund for £ 1 15s. 7d., which sum was realised on the route of the procession on May-Day at Llanfairfechan.

Elias Davies, Farmyard; Llewellyn Evans, Thomas Williams, and Captain Owen Evans, with the Clerk (Mr. Robert Jones). With reference to the lettter of the Conway Rural Council enclosing a copy of the letter of the Engineer of the Cowlyd Water Board referring to the water supply, the Council decided to adopt condition No. 1, which was to take over responsibility for present and any further sup- plies of water. Captain Evans and Mr. T. R. Lewis were instructed to see to the fixing of a turnstile on a footpath near Oakwood Park Hotel. The question of the new school was dis- cussed, and the Clerk was instructed to write to the County Education Authority inquiring whether the Parish Council had anything to do with the selection of the site for the proposed new school, and further inquiring how the matter stood generally. A precept was signed for 2d. in the £ to meet the expenses of the Parish Council, and it was ordered to be served upon the overseers. The Council decided to hold another meeting in a fortnight's time. WATER SUPPLY.-At Friday's meeting of the Rural Sanitary Authority at Conway the Sanitary Inspector reported that the spring or well supplying Groesffordd cottages was situated on the roadside so that animals could drink from it, and it was open to pollution by surface water from the road. He recommended that the space in front of the well be raised, and that a door be put in and to protect it from pollution. This was agreed, to.

LLYSFAEN. THE WATER TANK.—The Sanitary Inspect- or of the Conway Rural District Council re- ported that a sub-committee of that authority met at Llysfaen to consider the question of the water tank at Miner's Arms, and after some deliberation they decided that the present tank be kept for the use of the Council as a -tool shed and stones. But in consideration of altering and setting back the wall on the Llysfaen road to a point between the two roads, and fixing an un- climbable railing on top, they were prepared to let the space on top of the tanks to Mr. Davies as a flower garden at a nominal rent. IMPROVED ROADS.-The Highway Sur- veyor of the Rural District Council has reported to that authority that a great improvement has taken place on the Penygenffos-road, by the cuting of the rocks from Penygenffos to Llindir. He further reported that he contemplated cutting up the rock on the side of Bodryfedd Hill in order to widen the curve. A CASE UNDER THE CHILDREN'S ACT. -At Conway Police Court, on Monday, Robert Edwards, Hwylfa-terrace, Llysfaen, was sum- moned under the Children's Act for allowing his son Harry to be in Cadwgan-road, Llysfaen, for the purpose of begging on the 13th May. The defendant's wife appeared, and said she did not send him to beg. The officer spoke to finding the lad in Cadwgan-road with a bag, which contained a piece of bread, a pot of dripping, and a pair of boots. The lad told him where he got the articles from. W. E. Galland, attendance officer, gave similar evi- dence, and said he had received continual com- plaints about the boy begging.—The mother said she only wished the magistrates would take him in hand, as she could do nothing with him. The case was adjourned for a month for the attendance of the boy. A case of non-at- tendance against some person was also ad- journed for a month for the presence of the father.
