Chester Pageant. THE CITY GUILDS. The Chester Pageant is exercising a very marked influence in Chester, and one which cannot but have an effect long after the Pageant is over. The preparation by the aid of voluntary working parties, has formed many social groups and the massing of 3,500 performers has necessi- tated the breaking down of many social barriers, for no class could be sufficient in itself to carry out a scheme of such magnitude alone. This co-operation is one of the most healthful and help- ful consequences of the Pageant, and one which must be welcomed by all who have the real interests of the citizens as a whole at heart. The rehearsals, despite the erratic weather, are evidently immensely enjoyed, the delight of the children being especially refreshing. Another very notable effect of the Pageant which promises to be of great importance to Chester is the outcome of the energy and deter- mination of Mr. Frank Simpson. This is the endeavour to revive the old City Guilds. Mr. Simpson is the Honorary Secretary of the Per- formers' Committee, and the Deputy-Head of Episode VII. It is in this Episode that the Midsummer Revels take place. Originally, these Revels were held in Chester annually on the 24th of May, and were the Revels of the City Guilds. The heads of the Guilds were the controlling body, and the apprentices were en- titled to run wild in the accepted games and frolics. The Guild banners, the emblems of the City, the city giants, and all the time-hon- oured items peculiar to these Revels, each year found a place in the gathering. But time altered these things, when an over-righteous Mayor deemed it incumbent on him to have all the emblems of revelry destroyed, and all these gatherings were rigidly discountenanced. And so, too, the City Guilds themselves fell into hidden days, so much so that out of the twenty- five Guilds that originally defined the trades of Chester, very few now have living representa- tives. It is in bringing to light these remaining few that Mr. Simpson has conferred so great a service on the City. At much personal trouble, he has hunted out people, history, and emblems and he has done still much more by awakening in these few a pride in the old Guilds, and showing how practical revival is possible. He has already arranged that at the Pageant the. Guilds shall hold their proper place in the Revels, and that they shall be represented as faithfully to history as possible and that all the living members shall have the opportunity of taking part, an opportunity of which most of them are now eager to take advantage. As a Freeman of the City of Chester, and the descendant of a Guilds- man, this revival has had a special fascination for him, and it is his intention to continue the work after the Pageant is ended. Special attention is being drawn to the Mayor's Fund for the Illuminations." This fund has been started with the idea that many people outside Chester, as well as those in it, will like to contribute towards the cost of the brilliant scene that is planned for Pageant Wednesday, July 20th. It is intended to illuminate river, bridges, banks, park, groves, boats, barges, and everything that will give the fairy-like lighting that has grown so popular for summer evening festivities. King Edgar will be rowed down the Dee. The choir and the band will contribute the music, and rivals will compete for the prizes for their gaily-decked boats. Excepting in Grosvenor Park, and in a small enclosure, no money will be directly obtainable to pay for the cost of these illumina- tions, which run into several hundred pounds. Moreover, as they are no part of the Pageant, that fund cannot defray the cost. But as all visitors on Pageant Wednesday night will enjoy the result, it is hoped that many will remember that there is such a thing as the Mayor's Fund," and that their remembrance will take a prac- tical form. It has been suggested that boating clubs, and oarsmen who frequent the Dee, might fittingly help on this occasion. Among the many thoughtful acts of the Com- mittee to enable everyone to participate in the pleasures of the Pageant, one of the happiest is the invitation to the Chester Crimean veterans to be present at the final dress rehearsal on July 16th, Press day, when they will have the oppor- tunity of seeing one of the most careful of the performances.

Mr. Willoughby Gardner's New Book. AN ABERGELE FORTIFICATION. The following review appeared in Friday's Manchester Guardian It is satisfactory to find that while the Roman works in Wales are just now receiving special attention, works of an earlier date are not being neglected, and the methods by which the hill- fortress of Pen y Corddyn has been attacked by the antiquaries of Abergele, as set forth in The Ancient Hill-fortress of Pen y Corddyn, near Abergele," by Willoughby Gardner (Bed- ford Press, pp. 156) arc to be commended. It requires some courage to set about the excava- tion of a stronghold covering (with its annexe) some 37 acres, but the painstaking labours of Mr. Gardner and his colleagues have already thrown valuable light on the construction of the defences and entrances, and the best crit- icism of this carefully-written report is the ex- pression of the hope that it will be supplemented before long by further researches on the interior of the enclosure. Perhaps, as a small detail, too much should not be made of the occurrence of a single fragment of Roman pottery among the debris. The report is illustrated by excellent plans and sections drawn by the author and by some photographs.

Striking North Wales Poster. Messrs. M'Corqodale & Co., Limited, of Liver- pool and London, have just issued a poster for the London & North-Western Railway Com- pany which probably has never been equalled either in size or effectiveness. The poster, about sixteen feet long, gives a bird's-eye view of the beautiful district through which the Lon- don & North-Western Railway passes from Pres- tatyn. to Holyhead. showing every station and every prominent feature in the landscape. Be- ginning with Prestatyn and Rhyl, there is a clear view of Abergele, Llanddulas, Old Colwyn, Col- wyn Bay, Deganwy, Llandudno, Conway, Pen- maenmawr, Llanfairfechan, Bangor, Beaumaris Menai Bridge, Llanfair, Rhosneigr, and on to Holyhead. In the distance the Snowdonian range is seen, and the towns of Denbigh, Bettws- y-Coed, and Llanrwst are located/ Special attention has been paid to the colouring of the poster, which is quite beautiful, and the effect is very striking. It is a work of art, and the skilful drawing alone must have involved a great deal of labour. The printers have shown great resource and skill in reproducing the work of their artist, and the poster, which is sure to attract a good deal of attention, gives a very good idea of all the interesting features of the North Wales Coast.

In connection with the anniversary of the marriage of the King and Queen, which fell on July 6th, it is interesting to note that. the wedding ring was made of pure gold from Wales.

A Llandudno Doctor and his Fees. At the County Court, held at Llandudno on Thursday, before Judge Moss, Leopold Edward Harris, of Stokesby, Yorkshire, was summoned by Dr. James Craig, of Llandudno, for the sum of il for professional services rendered. Mr. Hallmark appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. J. W. Hughes, of Conway, for the defendant. Mr. Hallmark stated that the plaintiff's claim was for £ 1 for professional services rendered on the 13th, 14th, and 15th August, 1907. The charge for those services were 30s., or 7s. 6d. each for four attendances. The charges were reasonable, and the sum of 10s. had been paid of that account by defendant. Dr. Craig gave evidence of the defendant's visits to him, when he had to administer a galvanic battery with the aid of a nurse. Mr. J. W. Hughes asked if the doctor did not accept the 10s. sent by cheque in settlement, the defendant having stated that it was under that condition that he gave him the amount. He replied that he did not acknowledge that cheque as a settlement. Defendant had visited, said Mr. Hughes, the doctor, accompanied by his wife, and paid 3s. 6d. on the 13th August in Mrs. Harris's presence. On the 14th and 15th August defendant's daugh- ter was with him. The plaintiff sued for 30s., but now admitted having received 10s. by cheque. That, said the doctor, was an oversight on the part of his book-keeper. The defendant admitted he owed for two attendances on the 15th, for which he submitted 10s. in settlement. Leopold Edward Harris said that in August, 1907, he visited Llandudno with his wife and family. As soon as he arrived he was bitten by a dog belonging to the house where they were staying. He visited Dr. Craig, who attended him, and he paid 3s. 6d. Some days afterwards, on the 13th August, he visited Dr. Craig to be treated for neuralgia, and he gave witness a course of galvanic treatment. He paid him 3s. 6d. in the presence of his wife that morning. On the afternoon of the same day he visited the doctor in company with his daughter Irene, when he was treated in a similar manner to that of the morning, and he paid 3s. 6d. On the 14th August he paid a morning visit, and was simi- larly treated, repeating the same payment. His daughter Irene was present. On the first visit on the morning of the 15th August, his wife was with him, and he did not on that occasion pay the doctor, because the latter was hurriedly called away and left the nurse treating him. He asked the nurse the fee, and she replied he had better leave that until he saw the doctor himself. On the last visit, he ran in to the doc- tor's to have a tooth examined, when he was ad- vised to have it extracted by a dentist. He did so and got relief. He met the doctor on the fol- lowing Sunday, and asked him what he owed. He replied he did not know, but would send in his bill. The doctor was handed a visiting card with defendant's Wolverhampton address there- on. His wife and family remained after him in Llandudno. Thirteen months afterwards he got a bill from Dr. Craig. By Mr. Hallmark: He held a responsible position in a firm at Wolverhampton, and he had paid the doctor exactly what he asked him. Mabel Harris, wife of the defendant, and Irene Harris, his daughter, gave evidence. Dr. Craig, re-called, stated that he never ad- ministered galvanic treatment by himself. To do that there must be two people. He must have a nurse or someone to regulate the current. He could not do that himself and attend to his patient. The nurse could not do that herself. If he had given such treatment as he gave de- fendant for 3s. 6d, he would be in the Bankruptcy Court if he accepted it, when it was given with a nurse. His fee was 7s. 6d. The electrical appliances cost 200 guineas. He had entered defendant's name in his book, which was pro- duced, and no payment had been made by the defendant to him. HIS HONOUR'S OPINION. The Judge said he could not conceive it pos- sible for Dr. Craig, by a combination of circum- stances, to forget that he had been paid, were it so. The entries in Dr. Craig's book were made on the same day as the defendant said he paid him. It was not humanly possible, unless he was a deliberate rascal, that he should forget that he had been paid fees on that day, and the following, and the next. The diary and cash- book of the defendant were missing, which was unfortunate. When a man got it into his head that he had paid and the matter was dis- cussed at the breakfast table, it was likely they would be of the same opinion. These were com- mon incidents in human life. His opinion was that the wife and daughter of the defendant had been mistaken. The daughter, who was now only 16 years of age, was asked recently if she remembered what had happened. The entries of Dr. Craig were those of a professional man in his diary of the patients he received with their names and addresses. It was unsafe to take the evidence of the defendant and his family as against that of Dr. Craig. He gave judgment for the plaintiff with costs.

A Llanrwst Miller's Debt. JUDGE'S HUMOUR. At the Llanrwst County Court, on Friday, before His Honour Judge Moss, Arthur Evans' miller, Melinycoed, near Llanrwst, appeared on a judgment summons, the debt amounting to £ 25 14s. lOd. Mr. R. O. Davies said the judgment creditor was Mrs. Parry, next door neighbour to the judgment debtor, who secured damages for slander against Evans. The defendant had re- ceived a large sum of money lately. The judgment creditor said that the defend- ant had recently sold a large number of pigs, and he had also got the insurance money on the death of his father. Evans, in reply to Mr. Twigge Ellis, who ap- peared for defendant, said he was served with a writ, and not knowing what it was, he made no appearance, and judgment was given by default. He took the tenancy of the Mill at Melinycoed about two years ago, thinking of making a liveli- hood, but he had had nothing to do, and this was the worst time of the year. The Judge: I thought pig-keeping was the best trade going now. What does the defend- ant propose to pay ? He must pay something Defendant replied that he depended on shop- keepers for credit in the summer. p- The Judge: You don't sit on the mill and smile at the water the whole summer through, do you ? In reply to Mr. R. O. Davies, the defendant admitted receiving over /40 this year from Mr. William Jones, the Hand, Llanrwst, for eleven pigs. His Honour made an order of 10s. per month during the summer, and in the month of Nov- ember an order of £ per month would have to be paid.

The fortune just left by a bathing machine proprietor (the Daily Chronicle remarks) re- minds one that these common objects on the sea shore were invented in 1760 by a Quaker at Margate named Benjamin Beale, who is said to have ruined himself by bringing them into use. Bathing then was a very serious affair. The company assembled in the Bathing Rooms on shore, having previously inscribed their names on a slate in the lobby. When your turn came you were solemnly escorted to a machine from which you presently emergedi into the sea from underneath a pendant covering of canvas. Some of these curious screens were still to be seen a few years ago at Brighton and elsewhere, and in the back volumes of Punch they appear in many of Leech's caricatures.

Cowlyd Water Board. THE WATER SUPPLY OF PENRHYNSIDE. A meeting of the Conway and Colwyn Bay Joint Board was held at the Guild Hall, Conway, on Friday afternoon, Dr. A. Arthur-Prichard, J.P., presiding. The following members were also present: Messrs. David Gamble, John Wil- liams, Edward Roberts, J. E. Conway Jones, Joseph Dicken, George Bevan, Hugh Owen, T. H. Morgan, David Jones, Rev. W. Phillips, Hugh Hughes, and Thomas Williams with the Clerk (Mr. T. E. Parry), Mr. T. B. Farrington (Engineer), Mr. C. F. Farrington (Assistant Engineer), and Mr. Whalley (Waterman). THE NEW CHAIRMAN. Mr. Hugh Owen was unanimously elected Chairman, and returned thanks for the honour conferred upon him. He said he thought the question of the tenure of the Chairman would be considered again. He again thanked them for the honour which, he said, they couldn't very well help. (Laughter.) He was sorry Mr. Raynes could not have taken the chairmanship. Mr. Dicken proposed that Mr. David Gamble be Vice-Chairman, and Mr. Bevan seconded. The election was unanimous. Mr. Gamble returned thanks. INTEREST ON OVERDRAFT. Mr. Gamble asked what was being done with the £ 576 12s. 9d., which was disallowed in re- spect of interest on overdraft ? The Clerk said an appeal was being made in the matter. THE WATER SUPPLY OF PENRHYN- SIDE. Arising out of the minutes respecting the large waste of water, the Rev. W. Phillips asked whether a better supply of water could not be got for the village of Penrhynside ? Very frequently there was not a drop of water in that place all day. p Mr Dicken said it was a question-of having proper pipes to the village, as there could be an abundance of water supplied. Rev. W. Phillips But we have no power to borrow. Could we not have more pressure ? Mr. T. B. Farrington said that the pipes which supplied Penrhynside were 3-inch, and were laid twenty years ago, though there was a 4-inch pipe at Penrhyn, which was laid later. Suggestions were made that the Engineer re- port upon the matter at the next meeting. Mr. Edward Roberts said there was plenty of water for Penrhynside, but the people of that place must get better pipes to carry it there. Rev. W. Phillips asked what were they to do in case of an epidemic, and he was informed that that was a matter for the Conway Rural Dis- trict Council. After further discussion, it was, upon the sug- gestion of the Engineer, resolved to advise Mr. Phillips to tell the local authorities at Penrhyn- side to write the Local Government Board call- ing attention to the seriousness of the matter. TREASURER'S GENERAL ACCOUNT. By the Treasurer's book it appeared that there was a balance due to him of 1607 lis. Id. There was a balance of 1900 due from the Conway Rural District Council in respect of last year's precept. The precepts for the current year amounted in all to ^5,020 19d. 2d., and had been duly served upon the constituent authorities. TREASURER'S LOAN ACCOUNT. A balance was due to the Treasurer of £ 7,725 13s. 2d. The total expenditure to date in con- nection with the new pipe line was £30,725 13s. 2d. SUGGESTED SERVICE RESERVOIRS. The Engineer, in his report, said:— The quantity of water now being supplied to the district is equal to 50 gallons per head per day, for a population of 28,300 this is very ex- cessive, and ought to be reduced, and I venture again to suggest the construction of proper ser- vice reservoirs in each district, which would not only provide for a supply of water during any interruption of the supply from the trunk main, but would also enable arrangements to be made for reducing the pressure both on the trunk main and in the different districts. Unless something is done and the excessive quantity of water now being supplied considerably reduced, the Board will have to consider the question of extending the cast-iron pipes from the overflow chamber at Ardda to Lake Cowlyd, and thus preventing any overflow except at the lake. THE ALUMINIUM WORKS. The Aluminium Corporation (the Engineer continued) have now practically completed the leet from their works to the Cowlyd Stream, and may at any time call for the discharge of the compensation water, 1,552,500 gallons per day, to which they are entitled by the Act of Parlia- ment, and seeing that the quantity now being delivered into the district daily amounts to 1,415,100 gallons per day, a total of nearly 3,000,000 gallons per day, I think it is advisable that the Board should consider the question of securing additional gathering ground for water. PRESSURE REDUCING VALVES. Since your last meeting I have been in com- munication with and haye had several interviews with Mr. William Jones, Engineer and Surveyor to the Colwyn Bay and Colwyn Urban District Council, regarding the excessive consumption and pressure of water in his district, and have considered his suggestion of fixing pressure re- ducing valves on the branch mains. Owing to the large number of branch mains and conse- quent heavy expenditure on the necessary valves and fittings, I do not think this is practicable, and any reduction of pressure by this means must be effected on the trunk main. There would be no difficulty in doing this and thus re- ducing the pressure in the Colwyn Bay district, but such reduction in pressure would affect the supply to the higher parts of Llysfaen, which are at present supplied by gravitation. WATER SUPPLY, OLD COLWYN. I have received an application from the man in charge of the pumping station at Old Colwyn asking for some remuneration in connection with the additional pumping required from August 1st to September 12th, 1908. I have care- fully considered the matter and award the Con- way Rural District Council the sum of J12 10s. in consideration of the extra pumping, and out of this sum I think that the Council ought to pay the man in charge a sum of £ 5 for the extra time worked by him on week days and Sundays during the period referred to. 11 DOLGARROG LIGHT RAILWAY. This Order has now been confirmed, and I secured a clause agreeing to allow the Joint Board to lay two lines of water mains over the bridge proposed to be erected over the River Conway near Dolgarrog. The report, after some discussion, was adopted. The question of the waste of water raised by Mr. Farrington was discussed by the Board, who finally decided to appoint a committee, repre- senting the three constituent authorities, to con- sider the matter fully, and to report at the next meeting. The committee was constituted as follows:—Messrs. Gamble and J. Dicken, re- presenting Colwyn Bay Dr. R. A. Prichard and Mr. J. E. Conway Jones, representing Conway; and Mr. Hugh Owen and the Rev. William Phil- lips, representing the Rural District Council of Conway, with the Surveyors for the three authorities.

Abergele Town Advertising Association. THE SECRETARY AND HIS RESIGNATION. A meeting of the Abergele Town Advertising Association was held in the Council Chamber on Friday night, Mr. Edward Williams, J.P., in the Chair. Other members present were Messrs. D. G. Roberts, C. W. Bushnell, G. Perkins, J. Alexandre, H. Dyer, E. Batkin, W. Humphreys Jones, E. Worrall, T. R. Thomas, R. E. Need- ham, H. E. Prichard, E. W. Harrop, R. Saun- ders Davies, O. Owen,. R. Roberts, W. P. Morris, and B. C. Williams; with the hon. secretary, Mr. H. E. Thomas. The Chairman said that the meeting had been called chiefly to consider a letter he had received from Mr. H. E. Thomas resigning the post of hon. secretary to the Association. He (the Chairman) felt sure that everyone in the room would feel sorry at the step Ir. Thomas had taken. However, that gentleman would explain his reasons for adopting the course he did. Ir. H. E. Thomas then gave the history of the sports and the Association from their incep- tion in 190S. His reasons for resigning were that he had been badly supported by the various committees. He had given a good deal of his time to the work of the sports, and his business had suffered in consequence. Mr. Perkins said that there was no doubt about it, Mr. Thomas had worked very hard. Everyone in the meeting would agree on that point. It had to be admitted that the meetings of the committees had been badlv attended. If Mr. Thomas resigned, it would be a very diffi- cult task to fill his place. (Hear, hear). An- other thing, his services had not been acknow- ledged in any way. They, as the members of the Association, were enthusiastic enough until it came to the business part of it. From four to six men had been compelled to do all the work of the Sports Committee. The Guide was going well, and the Association was doing a lot of good by way of advertising the town, and it was therefore a great pity that they were going to lose the services of Mr. Thomas at the present juncture. Mr. W. P. Morris Last year we voted £$to Mr. Thomas as an honorarium, and I thought the same sum was to be paid annually. I am sorry that Mr. Thomas has gone without it this year. I am sure this was not done wilfully. I propose that Mr. Thomas be asked to withdraw his resignation. Mr. Thomas The honorarium has nothing at all to do with it. It is lack of support and nothing else. Mr. W. H. Jones seconded Mr. W. P. Morris's proposal, and hoped that the various committees would pledge themselves to throw more enthu- siasm into their work in future. Mr. D. G. Roberts supported, and said that nobody knew better than he did the work Mr. Thomas had had to do. He was not surprised when he told him that he was going to resign. The Chairman also bore out what the last speaker had said. Mr. Thomas had a huge bundle of letters concerning the Association to attend to every morning. He hoped Mr. Thomas would reconsider his decision and that he would be better supported in the future. Mr. Harrop said he was glad to hear Mr. Thomas explain that it was not a monetary ques- tion which induced him to send in his resigna- tion, but that it was the fault of the members of the Association. He had been discouraged by their lack of enthusiasm. Mr. W. P. Morris If Mr. Thomas decides to withdraw his resignation, I hope he will not neglect his own business in the future. The Association has neither a right nor' a desire that he should do it. Mr. H. E. Prichard: The town gives Mr. Thomas credit for having done his best to adver- tise Abergele and Pensarn. If you like to put me on any committee I promise you that I shall do my very best to help the secretary. Mr. Thomas, on being asked for his decision by the Chairman, said: I am willing to with- draw my resignation on one condition only- namelv, that I am better supported. (Applause). NO CARNIVAL. On the motion of Mr. Alexandre, seconded by Mr. Perkins, it was decided not to have the cycle carnival on August Bank Holiday. On the motion of Mr. W. P. Morris, it was resolved to ask the Carnival Committee to try and arrange for some kind of entertainment on the Promenade during the month of August. Mr. D. G. Roberts wished to compliment the Council for having fixed several seats for the wearv in various parts of the rural district. SEARCHLIGHT.

Conway Publican's Affairs. At Bangor Bankruptcy Court on Thursday, before Mr. Registrar Glynne Jones, James Gra- ham Graham, of the Crown Vaults and the George and Dragon Inn, Conway, came up for public examination. The debtor's gross liabilities were set down at £ 673, of which £ 524 were expected to rank. His assets were returned at £172, leaving a deficiency of £352. Graham attributed his failure to holding two licensed houses at a loss (one house being referred for compensation), bad trade, no capital, large family. The Official Receiver said the receiving order was made on Graham's own petition, which he filed in consequence of being sued by creditors. The debtor, who is 45 years of age, had carried on business at the Crown Inn, Conway, since September, 1908, and at the George and Dragon since July, 1909. He was formerly in the Army, and retired in June, 1908, with the rank of Quartermaster-Sergeant and a pension of 2s. 3d. a day. When he took the Crown Inn he had no capital, but borrowed £20 from the brewers, of which £ 5 is still due, and £20 from a brother, which had been repaid by instalments. The Crown Inn having been referred for compensation the debtor took the George and Dragon Inn. The licensing authority had awarded the bank- rupt £ 40 in respect of the tenant's compensa- tion, but that was charged to secure a sum of /70, leaving £ 30 unsecured. The bankrupt is insured for £ 100, but the policy is held by the office as security for a sum lent, scheduled as £ 56. The unsecured creditors comprise sixteen for trade goods, £ 444. Questioned by Mr. Tobias, Assistant Official Receiver, the debtor said he had spent 27 years in the Army in the Royal Munster Fusiliers. By the Registrar: The total amount of com- pensation awarded was £ 400. He expected £ 150 of that, but only got £ 40. The Registrar: That seems a very small pro- portion. The debtor said he had intended trying to commute a part of his pension if he had got the £ 150 compensation so as to pay off all his liabili- ties, but the War Office refused to grant the commutation for that purpose, with the result that his pension was now still intact. The examination was closed. m m

Flintshire Territorials' Nursing Scheme. At a meeting of the Flintshire Territorial Forces Association, held at Mold on Friday evening, it was reported that the purchase of the Victoria Hall, Mold, as a drill hall had been completed at a cost of £950, and that the work of repair and adaptation would be proceeded with. It was resolved that public meetings be held at Rhyl, Flint, and Mold for the purpose of furthering a scheme for the formation of ladies' voluntary aid nursing detachments. It was stated that Colonel Johnston (St. Asaph) had agreed to act as county director and Miss Gwendolen Davies Cooke (Mold) as honorary secretary.
