Special attractions are frequently given, and on Friday evenings it has become a popular thing to have request nights.

The scene of Act 1 is laid in a tea plantation on the Shining Island," a charming realm of tropical flowers, luxuriant palms, and picturesque natives. The scene of Act 2 is Boobhamba's beautiful palace by the lake of Kandy—a glorious stage set of palatial Indian architecture, where one moonlit New Year's eve the Buddhist revels, including a wonderful "devil dance" quite demoniacal in its wild frenzy, is produced with great success in an entrancing crescendo of light and colour, and to an accompaniment of an appropriate, awe-inspiring and inspiriting nature. I Mr. J. O. Jones, London House, is holding a special Saturday Sale of washing Robes and Blouses this week, and residents and visitors to the Bay should not miss this valuable opportun- ity of securing rare bargains. THE ARTS AND CRAFTS EXHIBITION. --A very fine collection is being got together of ,7, the Arts and Crafts Exhibition to be held in the Infants' School, in connection with the National Eisteddfod. The Committee have arranged for the delivery of two very appropriate lectures, which will serve to enhance the interest and value of the Exhibition. On September 6th, Mr. Edgar Jones, M.P., will speak on Na- tional characteristics and the value of rational ideals," and on September 10th Sir T. Marchant Williams will deal with an antiquarian subject of which he is an acknowledged authority. The aim in view is to further tne growth of a firm art movement in the district, and it is hoped that the Arts and Crafts Exhibition mav prove a nucleus for a considerable development of home industries, arts, and crafts in the town and neighbourhood. During the course of the Exhibition, short lecturettes will be given by experts on the objects of art displayed. We believe that this Exhibition is destined to exert a far-reaching and permanent influence on the home life of the district, and congratulate the promoters upon their breadth of view. The Hon. Secretaries are Mr. Edwin Griffiths, head- master of the Higher Grade School, and Mr. C. E. Elcock, architect, of Messrs. J. M. Porter & El- cock. FOR PERFECT FITTING and Natural-look. ing Artificial Teeth go to Kay and Sons', Ty ilyffordd, Abergele-road, Colwyn Bay. High- class work at the most moderate charges. A GENEROUS ACTION.—Mrs. Venables- Williams, of Argoed, Alexandra-road, the widow of the late Rev. W. Venables-Williams, M.A., J.P., for so many years the respected Vicar of Llandrillo-yn-Rhos, has once again shown her interest in the town by an act of practical phil- anthropy. For some time, Dr. Venables-Wil- liams, J.P., Medical Officer of Health, has been endeavouring to secure a hand ambulance litter for the district. Applications to the Chief Con- stable having failed, Dr. Williams submitted the matter to the General Purposes Committee of the District Council; but nothing could be done, as the Council had not adopted the Public Health Amendment Act of 1907, empowering local authorities to make such a provision. Now, however, Mrs. Venables-Williams has generously come forward to supply a really urgent need. Litters of this kind should be placed in every seaside resort, and we feel sure that the public of Colwyn Bay will feel grateful to the kind lady for her thoughtful act. This, of course, will not in any way interfere with the movement for ac quiring a horse ambulance. The hand litter will be kept at the Police Station, where all the members of the force are ambulance men. CHILDREN AT THE ARCADIA.—For the third time the Pierrots will, to-morrow (Fri- day) afternoon, give the children an entertain- ment all to themselves." And in addition to receiving presents in the form of musical instru- ments,the little critics are to have the opportunity of showing how they can sing in chorus. No bearded bassos will be allowed to disturb the harmony. Armed with their musical in- struments, under the unorthodox baton of Mr. Sidney Frere, the young performers are likely to produce effects of an original character. By request, a musical farce, The Academy," will be included in the programme Last Friday the children's entertainment proved a huge suc- cess. Upwards of 300 toys were distributed, and the special programme submitted proved exactly to the juvenile taste. Mr. Sidney Frere was at his very best as the conductor of the Aero Motor 'Bus," and his humorous topical remarks were greeted with much hearty laugh- ter. NOW ON SALE, a large variety of Real Photograph Postcards of the Royalties, the late King Edward VII., Her Majesty the Queen- Mother's Letter to the Nation, 2d. each.—R. E. Jones & Bros, Weekly News Office, Station- road, Colwyn Bay. HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS to Mr. and Mrs. Lyell-Tayler and their son, Mr. Adrian Lyell-Tayler. We hear with pleasure-a plea- sure which will be shared by our readers—that Adrian has been successful in passing the Lon- don University Matriculation Examination, a distinction which he has attained at an excep- tionally early age, as he only reaches his sixteenth year in October. As he is too young for Oxford, Mr. and Mrs. Lyell-Tayler intend to send him in January next to Berlin to continue his studies. Though exceedingly musical, he is not going to follow the profession in which his father has distinguished himself. He is very keen on sport, and has been popular at school in cricket and football, and was also a cadet in the school corps and a member of the military band. Here is his record in brief :-Born in London October 22nd, 1894; entered Clare House School, Mar- gate, September 1902 (Headmaster Wilfred P. Toone, M.A.) passed with honours preliminary Cambridge examination, December, 1905 en- tered University College School, London, Janu- ary, 1906 passed London University Matricu- lation June, 1910.

The anniversary services of the St. John's English Wesleyan Chapel were held on Sunday, the special preacher being the Rev. William Water- worth, who preached to large congregations in the morning and evening. In the afternoon a young people's service was held, when the pastor (the Rev. William Mellor) delivered a very in- teresting and instructive address. Collections were made in aid of the Sunday School Fund.

At Bryu Morfa there are 130 members of the Rugby boys brigade, a Bible class from Stoke, the Rugeley church choir, and other private parties. BOY SCOUTS.—A number of the troop of the Scouts went under canvas during the week- end, and had a very good time under the charge of Assistant Scoutmaster W. J. Ralphes. The boys were disappointed at not being able to continue their camp for a longer period, but the equipment being of the poorest, they were not able to do so. It is hoped that by another year funds will be more substantial. A field for the camp was kindly lent by Mr. J. Jones. On Sunday, the boys were seen at Church in the morning, and the English Wesleyan Chapel at night. On Monday their time was chiefly occupied with scouting exercises, &c., in the morning, and haymaking in the afternoon, followed by music, &c., after tea.

r PENMAENMAWR. NEW POST OFFICE.—The new Post-office buildings at Capelulo are nearing completion, and are to be formally opened on October 1st. This will be an improvement on the old office, and a good acquisition to this favourite resort. The Post-office has been held by the same family for 35 years; and the present Sub- Postmaster has held it for 20 years. The archi- tect is Mr. Rowland Roberts, Penmaenmawr, and the contractor is Mr. William Hughes, Isfryn, Capelulo. A SERIOUS CASE.—At the Conway Police Court on Tuesday, W. J. Roberts, coal merchant, was charged by David Griffith, Inspector of Weights and Measures, with having in his possession 15 bags of coal of less weight than represented, viz. two bags with 2 lbs each short, 7 bags with 5 lbs each short, five bags with 6 lbs each short, and one bag with 8 lbs short. He was further charged with failing to carry a weighing machine ap- proved and stamped by the Inspector on his lurry. Defendant said he was guilty of not hav- ing nineteen bags weighed. Mr. James Marks was for the prosecution. Defendant explained that he had filled 19 bags the previous night, and his boy went down to the yard early next morning, put them on the lurry and took them out before he arrived to weigh them. His boy did not know but that the bags had been weighed. Mr. Marks said the Inspector saw the bags by accident, and the bags were weighed in the presence of the carter and of the defend- ant's son. Defendant said he had never seen the practice of carrying weighing machines on the carts, but Mr. Marks replied that great pains were taken by the authorities to make known the fact that it was necessary to do this. They did not wish to press the case. The Chairman described it as a serious case, and said the Bench could not do less than impose a fine of 1 os. and costs on each charge, and to allow the advocate's fee. EISTEDDFODIC SUCCESS.—At the Corwen Eisteddfod on Bank Holiday, Mr. A. E. Elias, Bodfor, was successful in winning the prize for the best pencil sketch of "A Welsh village scene." The Male Voice choir were unsuccess- ful in the competition at Pwllheli Eisteddfod on the same day.

FANCIER'S SUCCESS—Mr. Llywellyn Wil- liams, Bryn Aber, has become a well known pigeon fancier. At the Wirral and Birkenhead snow he obtained first and second honours. His chief successes, however, were at the Bangor show where he obtained six specials, a special for the best bird in the show, a special for the most points, five first prizes, three seconds and three thirds. At Meltham, Yorkshire, he got second and third prizes, and at Whallev, Man- chester, he obtained two seconds. Owing to delay on the railway, Mr. Williams was too late to show his birds at the Beaumaris show. PENYCLIP.—A joint meeting of the County Council, Llanfairfechan Council and the Pen- maenmawr Council has been held, and the following resolution arrived at that this Joint Committee are strongly of opinion that it is desirable to purchase from the H.M. Office of Woods and Forests the land between the main road and the property of the London and North Western Railway Company at Penyclip, and recommended the authorities accordingly to authorise the Clerk of the County Council to treat for the purchase of the same, including the right to tie any walls or other works into the walls at either end." This resolution will be submitted to the next meeting of the Penmaen- mawr Council for adoption.

There are a good number of competitors, and the final will be played off on Saturday after- noon. PROMENADE LIGHTING. — The Urban Council are making strenuous efforts to get the promenade lighted with electricity during this month. Work is busily proceeding on the promenade, which, it is expected, will be lighted in about a week or so. The contractors for the erection of the lamps and fixing are Messrs. Sloane and Lloyd Barnes, Liverpool, and the contractors for the cable are Messrs. Callander, Liverpool. The Council workmen are doing the trench work. CAMPS.—There are a number of boys' camps in the vicinity from Moseley and Birkenhead. A BOATING EXPERIENCE.—Fifteen mem- bers of the 3rd Moseley troop of Boy Scouts want out for a sail on August Bank Holiday to Beaumaris. A very pleasant and exciting trip was enjoyed, but when about to start for home again a gale was blowing and there was a very heavy sea, with the result that the boat had to put back into Beaumaris. Towards the evening, the news spread that the boat and the boys were missing, and great fears were entertained for their safety, but news soon came that the lads were spending the night in Beaumaris. They returned the following day reaching Penmaen- mawr beach about 5 p.m., when they were greeted with loud cheering by throngs of visitors. SPECIAL SERVICE MISSIONS.—Every day throughout this month, special children's service missions are being held on the beach, conducted by the Secretary of the Mission Mr. H. Harkinson, who is assisted by a number of University students and lady workers. The meetings are very popular, large congregations attending each day. THE SEASON. The village of Penmaen- mawr and Dwygyfylchi is thronged with visitors .9 and the inhabitants are reaping a rich harvest. In the opinion of some of the oldest residents the number staying here over Bank Holiday was a record. The chief features of attraction to the visitors are the fine promenade, the safe bathing and boating, and the beautiful walks -i the I\<.>i!} bourhood. There is also every promise of an excellent regatta on Monday next. MUSICAL SUCCESS.—We are pleased to re- cord that Mrs. W. V. McClement, organist of the English Presbyterian Church, has been successful in passing the Higher Division Ex- amination in organ playing, held in connection with the Associated Board of the Royal Academy of Music and The Royal College of Music.

LLANDUDNO. GRATIFYING.—Upon enquiries, we under- stand from the police authorities, that there was not a single accident during Bank Holiday, which speaks volumes for good management and care on the part of all concerned. ORGAN RECITAL.—A well-attended organ recital was given at the Christ Church English Congregational Church, on Monday evening, by the organist of the Church, Mr. Eivion Jones. The programme was much enjoyed. BANK HOLIDAY INVASION.- In the opin- ion of the railway officials, the town has never been so crowded on the August Bank Holiday as was the case on Monday. From about 3.30 a.m. trains began to steam into the town, among them about thirty specials. The scene on the Promenade, the Happy Valley, and Pier Head was one of much animation. AN EXEMPLARY HOLIDAY CROWD.— The holiday crowds at Llandudno on Monday were larger than ever, and it speaks well for them that there was not a single case brought before the magistrates on Tuesday, with the ex- ception of one local case of an old offender, who is well known to the police. AN OLD OFFENDER.—Before Mr. T. W. Griffith, at a special Police Court, on Tuesday morning, Thomas Evans, a character well- known to the police, was charged with being drunk and begging, and was sentenced to four- teen days' hard labour.—At the same Court, Edward Ryan, a tramp, for hawking without a licence, was also sent to prison for seven days. BROWN'S BIOSCOPE.—There is a fine pro- gramme at the Prince's Theatre this week, and among the excellent films shown are The Vic- tims of Fate" and The Sweets of Forgive- ness," dramatic, and The Shooting Mania comedy. On wet days performances are held at eleven and three o'clock, whilst each evening the pictures are shown at half-past seven. The prices are popular, children being admitted to all parts at half price. The admission charges are reduced by one half at nine o'clock. EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE LADIES.-The noted firm of Mostvn- street drapers and mill- iners, Messrs. W. S*. Williams & Sons, are con- ducting a remarkably attractive sale at The Loyal Warehouse and this week-end will wit- ness a record rush for bargains. All kinds of ins. seasonable wear are marked down to astonishing I prices, which are so low as to be out of all pro- portion to the excellent value offered. OUTING.—On Thursday about thirty of the stall of Llandudno and district of the Pruden- tial Assurance Company had an outing to Liver- pool. The chief officials present, and who in- vited the agents were Mr. William Thompson, Colwyn Bay (superintendent), Messrs. J. Meek| Colwyn Bay W. T. Jones, Rhvl, and \V. Evans, Conway (assistant superintendents). An excel- lent luncheon was provided for the party in the Queen's Cafe, and after visiting the many places of interest in the capital of North Wales, the party returned having spent a most enjoyable dav. THE GRAND THEATRE.-The manage- ment of the Grand Theatre announce another musical play as the attraction for the iirst three nights of next week -Ion(la- Tuesday, and Wednesday, August 8th, 9th, and 10th, viz., the welcome revival of the famous comic opera, Les Cloches de CorneviUp," which will be pro- duced, on a very lavish scale, and by a speciallv- selected company numbering close on fifty ar- tistes, by Messrs. Mellor, Bode, and John Hart. Special new scenery and dresses have been pro- vided for this production, and the visit should prove a great success. Thirty-two years have passed passed since the tuneful Bells of Corne- ville first rang out, and drew all London to listen to their merry chimes, and yet the opera has lost none of the attractive qualities that served to render it so popular at the time. There is an interesting and romantic storv, coupled with a flow of melody in the piece that never seems to tire. More musical prductions have to run the gauntlet of being brought up to date after a very short success, but Les Cloche de Corneville is good enough to hold its own in its original form all through these years, and has practically become a. classic-like grand opera. A showy company will be seen at the Grand. LIBRARY WEATHER GLASS PAW NED — The Llandudno Free Library building is open for reading-room purposes only, pending the arrival of the furniture, and on Friday, in broad daylight, some person calmly took possession of the barometer, which was in the reading-room, walked straight up Mostyn-street to a pawn- broker's establishment, and there tendered the article, which was worth some 36s., in pledge for 6s. Some excuse was offered for wishing to sell; the pawnbroker received the barometer and advanced this sum, the customer giving a false address in Madoc-street. Not long after the thief had left the shop the theft was dis- covered, and the police making inquiry at the pawnshop, there found the missing property, which, ot course, was taken possession of. A description ot the man who had pledged it was given, but so far he has not been discovered, though the police are following up certain clues.

The number of people sojourning there during last week-end proved quite a record. BROTHERHOOD ANNIVERSARY.

In the afternoon there was a mass meeting of the Brotherhood in the church, when an address was delivered by Mr. J. W. Marriott, president-elect of the North Wales Brotherhood Federation. The anthem, "0 Praise God in His Holiness (Trimnel), and other selections were given by the Nant-y-Glyn Wesleyan Choir. PICNICING.—On Monday the members of the English Wesleyan Church, and those of the Hehron Welsh Methodist Church journeyed by lurry to Rhydyfoel for the annual picnic. A large number of the members of each denomina- tion availed themselves of the outing, which was heartily enjoyed by all. PROMENADE ENTERTAINMENTS.—The efforts of those in Colwyn for the securing of entertainments on the Promenade in the evening have succeeded. The Town Advertising Associa- tion of Colwyn Bay and district have leased the promenade to a troupe of Pierrots and Pierretes, who opened their season on Monday evening to a very large crowd who thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment provided. Those artistes appear daily on the promenade. A RUMOUR.—It is rumoured that the in- imitable Scotch comedian, Mr. Harry Lauder, is spending a holiday in Sefton-terrace.
