PENMAENMAWR. YOUNG MEN'S DISGRACEFUL CON- DUCT.—On Monday, at a special Police Court, at Conway, before Dr. R. Arthur-Prichard and the Mayor (Mr. John Williams), two young men from Penmaenmawr were brought up in custody charged with being drunk and disorderly at Conway on the Saturday night. They were John Roberts, a labourer living at 3, New York- terrace, and John Jones, also a labourer, living at 12, Bell Cottages. Sergeant Evans and P.C. Davies gave evidence of finding the men in High-street creating a disturbance by fighting at midnight, and they added that Roberts was challenging the best man in Conway to fight, and he defied the police to send him home. The Deputy Chief Constable stated that there were numerous complaints about the conduct of some young men who came over to Conway on Saturday nights. They made it a practice to lose the last train home, and afterwards re- mained in the public-houses until 11 o'clock. There was usually a disturbance between 11 p.m. and midnight, caused mostly by these men, and the police found considerable diffi- culty in getting them away. The defendants in this case had been locked up since Saturday night. The magistrates fined Roberts 10s. and costs and Jones 5s. and costs. G.F.S.—The meeting in connection with the Girls' Friendly Society, which should, have been held on the 24th May last, has been postponed to Thursday next. A GOOD AGE.—On Friday Mrs. Symonds, who resided with her daughter, Mrs. Robinson, Plas Ucha', passed away at the ripe age of 98 years. She was well known in the village and' very highly respected. The funeral took place on Tuesday, at the Capelulo Cemetery. LIGHTING EXPERIMENTS. Following upon the experiments made by the local Coun- cil with electric light and petrol gas for the purpose of illuminating the promenade, the Gas Company have come forward, and on Thursday night made experiments with high power in- candescent gas burners, which were erected on the promenade. An excellent light was seen. The experiment was repeated on Tuesday night, when the members of the Council attended. THE T.I.A.—This Association has done ex- cellent work to advertise Penmaenmawr as a seaside resort. They have issued practical guides for which there has been an average call by intending visitors of 1,200 per annum. Last year of all there were 1,038 direct applications to the Secretary. The Association this year have reason to complain of the very little interest taken in their labours by a certain section of the community, who have this year refused to support the movement by advertising in the guide, with the result that the Association has been compelled to issue a number of guides without any advertisements. It cannot be doubted that the Association has been the means of making Penmaenmawr so popular for the last five or six years, but the ratepayers who benefit mostly from these visitors must re- member that they must continue to advertise the attractions of the neighbourhood or other seaside resorts will capture the English visitor. It is to be sincerely hoped that the Association will receive the support that it deserves. THE PRICE OF GAS.-At the meeting of the Urban District Council, on Tuesday night, Mr. Edison Stone, the Secretary of the Holy- head and North Wales Gas and Water Corpora- tion, Ltd., wrote stating that he was pleased to report that his directors had decided to reduce the price of gas at Penmaenmawr from the 1st of July next as follows:—Gas used for lighting reduced to 4s. gd. net; gas used for cooking, 4s. 2d. net; and gas used for public lighting, 4s. 6d. net. The directors expressed the hope that the Council would co-operate with the Company in furthering the use of gas, that the results predicted by the Council's deputation might be realised, thereby encouraging his di- rectors in their desire to sell as cheaply as pos- sible. THE GOLF LINKS.—The formal opening of the new golf links at Penmaenmawr takes place to-day (Thursday), when exhibition games will be played by Mr. J. P. Humphreys, Kidder- minster, Midland amateur champion, and Mr. T. C. Mellor, Llandudno and Manchester. The winner of these two will be played by Mr. Fred Collins, the Llandudno professional. CHILDREN'S SERVICES.—These services, which are held annually during the month of August on the beach, have become very popu- lar along the Coast, and an application for the usual permission at Penmaenmawr was granted by the local Council on Tuesday. PROPERTY SALE.—On Tuesday an im- portant sale of shop property and well-placed freehold building land and cottages was con- ducted by Mr. F. A. Dew, auctioneer, at the Grand Hotel, by instructions from the execu- tors of the late Mr. John Jones, Glasgow House. There was a good gathering, but the bidding was somewhat slow. Lot i comprised the shop and dwelling-house known as Brad- ford House, situte on the Bangor-road, and now in the occupation of Mr. Thomas Roberts, and containing excellent accommodation. The pro- perty is leasehold for 99 years from November, 1865, with an annual ground rent of Z6. The bidding started with £ 200, and slowly it rose to ^250, when it was knocked down to Coun- cillor Thomas Roberts, who purchased it on behalf of the tenant. Lot 2 was Nos. 9 and 10, Caerwen-terrace, situated in Penmaenan, and this was withdrawn at ^150. There was no offer for 20 and 21, Chapel-street. The most important lot was the six freehold cottages known as the Kiosks," situated in Station- road East, together with a centrally situated corner piece of building land adjoining the same with frontages to Station-road East and Con- way-road, as well as having an excellent sea view. The bidding for this valuable lot com- menced at £200, which the auctioneer described as an unreasonable figure, although it doubled the bid offered by another gentleman, and which he refused. This lot was subsequently withdrawn at £525. The last lot was the valu- able freehold building land situated below the Tabernacle, with a frontage of about 36 yards to Celyn-street, and containing an area of about 1,540 square yards. There was no offer for this lot, and it was accordingly withdrawn. The solicitors for the vendors were Messrs. Porter, Amphlett, and Co., Conway and Pen- maenmawr, who were represented at the sale by Mr. James Porter and Mr. Hughes.
