Music, Brama and a Literature. Lj 3 E MR. DESIRE LALipDE. The first week of he extension concerts ter- of h." minated on SaturAy evening last, when a y-v most high-class an enjoyable programme was gone through. fb addition to Miss Nora Meredith, who lightly gained in public favour, Mr Desiref Lalande, of the King's pri- vate band, gave J. Vermust's "Theme and variations on Air?' a Cor Anglais solo, which was a revelatio to all present, and created quite a furore, oftapplause, and in response to the loud recalls "he played with even greater success, at all Events from the audience'9 point of view, "the last Rose of Summer." MR. E. REDPEfN. ° The piccolo sqlo," The Row with variations," was given in is flautist's most excellent style, and the Visual encore followed this artiste's efforts to please. He, was no less successful in fCEe. ever popular American Sketch, "Down South," and fairly convulsed the house with'his "asides" and negro patter. I —o- MR. WALTERVRAIG. Mr Haig hast spared no pains to make the extension concepts a success from a musical point of view, jfce selections have been most most happy, a £ d if one is to judge by the micores unaniniously, aproved of. —o "APATHY OF THE RESIDENTS." It is surprising that so few of the residents of Llandudno, comparatively, have supported these concerts y their presence. One hears of plenty of agitation, amongst the ranks of the tradespepole, for a. winter band. Their non-attendance at the Pier concerts during the last fortnight is. not an encouragement to those likely to take the matter up, and the sooner they realise this fact the sooner they are likely to have a band all the year round, either at the Pavilion or elsewhere. One can- not go about .-without overhearing remarks, not altogether complimentary to the Pier Company, and., the money they are makiug, and on these gtounds many decline to take a extension setHon ticket, getting that the members of tha orchestrgfr^ap the benefit, of any and take iftl the-Ak If the pier and pavilion were fy anj&"chg £ ice calamity to be lost to Llandufno fof aeason, the very peo- ple who now boycott lfcfwould be the first to cry out and f#ei :iih inch.

Amongst those who will take part are Mr Henry Verbrugghen. violinist; Miss Lilian Robertson, soprano; Mr Henry Plevy, tenor; and Mr Vincent Walker, humourist. I O. -0- HEARTS ARE TRUMPS AT THE GRAND THEATRE. This is the closing week of the season at the Grand Theatre, and Mr Milton Bode is ending the season as he began it with one of the best companies that, have ever visited Llandudno. Thl play is the new and original drama,Hearts are Trumps," which was such a great success at Drury Lane, and has been received, .in every town it has visited with thereatest enthusiasm. Last week it was stag at Glasgow, and attracted during the six diys over £ 1,000. At Llan- dudno the attendances have not been what might reasonably >be expected. We hear con- tinual cries for attractions to prolong the season, but when they are engaged, those who have made themselves responsible do not re- ceive the support/they have a right to expect. It will be readily Seen that a company of this character, with over fifty in the caste, is necessarily very Expensive to maintain, and we- may add tilate cost of carrying scenery and railway fares to Llandudno alone was nearly Z60. If Llandudno would have high- class dramaorgooo concerts in September and October the inhabitants must be prepared to .give more liberal Support. l-O- The play itself fdeals with the craze for gambling in Society, and Miss Maude Elmore a3 "Lady Winifred Crosby" shows how quickly a grand egrate may be ruined by this uncontrollable madness. The staging is simply wonderful# and as one scene follows another in quick- succession frequent out- bursts of applaloe are evoked from the audience. Miss ftSmde Elmore in the part of "Lady Winifred Crosby" is perfect, and Miss Jessica Black asDora Woodbury" the ward, is a charming voting actress, who gives every promise of becoming an artiste of front, rank fame. Mr Weldoti Atherstone as "Leopold Knlditz," the Cockney money-lending Jew, has a difficult part, which, however, lie is well able to sustain, and fiie same remark ap- plies with equal to IMr Arthur Lyle in the character of the bldp honest colonial "Michael Wain." Mr Ivai Cleveland gave a capital representation of Jthe money-grabbing unscrupulous "Earl of B rford," and all the minor parts were in capable hands. Taken altogether, this is a particularly good drama, and well worthy of a visit from all. "IN DARKEST LONDO AT THE PRINCE'S THEATR|. During the first three nights of the present week Mr Leet Cavendishes Company presented the drama's, "In Darkelt London," and "The Corsican Brothers," atjthe Prince's Theatre. The caste waa a good pne, and very realistic representations were gifen. THE MANAGER'S BEmEFIT. Last evening (Thurscfey) was the benefit night of Mr T. J. Jonls, the local manager. We hope to give a full|report in our next issue. NEXT WEEK. f Next week the engajpment is announced of the Irish Dramatic Citaapany in a series of the well-known plays| "The Shaughraun," "Colleen Bawn," and jf'Arrah 1 Na Pogue."

;f;t;Jt"è'5'7.rp', OWYN BAY; DISTRICT COUNCIL. At Tuesday's monthly Bieeting, the Chair- man (Mr Thomas Parry)1- presiding, a deputa- tion of four members wis appointed to wait on the Local Gnvernmt Board, respecting application to borrow ajj^eral large amounts for public works. JL- « Mr Byrne suggested *li|t Cojbniittee which had charge of Bce^si^g the bathing machines should, whip :.gy neyt issued licences, insist upodf' figures on the machines being lar^efe^Buudi to. be seen by bathers when cominJ^lb, L. The Medical Offic My? (Dr Eraser) forwarded another se vital statistics for 1900, corrected in tll: ght of evidence as to the, population of mL district a(:. rthe last census. According im this; the death-rate was 12.5 per 1.000 of the Mpulation, instead of 15.2, as previously repo|tf«||. The Sanitary Inspector described this rep°w as the most favourable in the whole of theRprincipality. Mr J. W. Rayne and other residents of LTysfaen appeared fe a deputation with refer- ence to Colwyn B, taking over a part of Llvsfaen parish. r Raynes was understood to say that an apnBeation for the inclusion of the lower part of -he parish ha.(l come frcm the Colwya Bay Council, and the Parish Council were prepared to ree on condition that the former authority Consented to extend the promenade to Old Cojwyn, to take over a debt of E2,500, and to provide a regular water supply. Mr John Roberts maintained that it would not be to the advantage of the Colwyn Bay Council to take Llysfain over as that parish was now situated. niwas, for instance, un- reasonable to expect that authority to lay water mains for a distance of five miles with- out receiving any return for it. The fact was that the Rural District Council was supposed to provide the water, but that body had hitherto neglected to do the work. Messrs Wm. Davies and D. 0. Williams urged that the deputation should be fairly met, and asserted that, despite Mr Roberts's statement, Colwyn Bay was desirous of having Llysfaen included. The Chairman asked Mr Raynes to request the parish meetipg to send a formal applica- tion to the Council, whereupon Mr Raynes replied that he would notj; if Colwyn Bay wished to have Llysfaen. included, then the application muft come from them. The de- putation then withdrew. A vote, of condolence was passed with the Rhyl District Council on the death of its chairman.

BANG09 CITY COUNCIL. THE PROPOSED EISTEDDFOD PAVILION. At Wednesday night's meeting, the Mayor (Mr Henry Learis) presiding, Mr David Owen asked permission to postpone for a month a resolution of frhieh he had given notice, to the effect that. a site in the possession of the Council be made over to the proposed public company which it is hoped will be formed for erecting a permanent pavilion for eistedd- fod purposes. He said his reason was that the Building Committee of the Eisteddfod had interviewed Mr Trench, Lord Penrhyn's agent, with respect t4 another site in Garth Road, and the price .ked for it was not prohibitive. Unless the iitf for such a building could be secured very spon the town would be so built upon that no aiitable site would re in avail- able. He beli-ed Lord Penrhyn wa anxious to help the town in this matter, and If it were .possible for tfee Council to appoin a small committee to kct. with the Eistedd d Com- mittee, with tlife object of purchasing this si and having it vested in trustees for the pic use, very important benefit, would de to the town. The Tabernacle Calvini ia. dist Church wa,9 about to build a Jplpel at a cost of £ 10,000, ind he thought if*ne church could do that a.11 the churches Jpght to be able very easily to purchase tjwjfsite for an Eisteddfod Pavilion. m The Mayor said the Council f the greatest possible sympathy with tJ;t1é. ject of Mr Owen, and possibly a relOlu n would be proposed on the subject At t next meeting. Mr W. Bayne,. in moving t adoption of the Lighting Committee's rort stated that the total expenditure at th* ele icity works was iC22,432, of which £ 15,S78 AB authorised. It was now proposed tA) 8e a loan for the balance. This expejditu was to some ex- tent due to extansiofe <M power and new mains. Under the owgjmJl scheme 4,000 lights were provided fdr. fh^Lwer now to be pro- vided for was three |t^es |pi»^er. vhilni iMlf* gas consumption h|g actually addition. In the course of the discussion which ensued, Mr David Orr deplored the fact that every ratepayer had to pay for providing elec- tric lights for the few. Mr Owen Owen complained also of the great increase in the cost. Dr. Grey Edwards pointed out that the in- creased cost was due chiefly to the extensions. The town ought to be congratulated upon the bargain it had with its electricity and gas concerns. The report was unanimously ap- proved. The Mayor, in reply to Mr Jones Roberts, stated that the Bishop's Park Committee had approached Mr W. Dew to ask if the Syndicate were willing to re-open the question of the disposal of the park, or a portion of it. Mr Dew's reply had been received, and the Com- mittee would meet next week to consider it. Mr Jones Roberts asked what was the pur- port of the letter, but the Mayor held that it should be put before the Committee before it was communicated to the Council. Mr Jones Roberts protested that the Committee in entering into any negotiation at all was acting beyond its powers. No powers had in fact been given to it. 'The Mayor ruled that the objection was groundless, and the Council re- jected a motion by Mr Jones Roberts warning the Committee they were acting improperly. Mr David Owen asked if Mr Dew had re- ceived the apology on behalf of the Council which he demanded when he withdrew the negotiations.—(Laughter.)

CLAIM FOR WAGES. ACTION AGAINST THE SWIFTS FOOTBALL COMMITTEE. At the Llandudno County Court on Thurs- day a ca.se was put down for hearing which excited a good deal of interest in Llandudno and district. This was an action in which Fred Jones (often known as Fred Fawr) claimed £ 4 14s., the balance of wages alleged to be due to him from the Swifts Football Committee. Mr Corbett appeared for the plaintiff, and the defendant committee were represented by Mr J. J. Marks. Mr Corbett applied for an adjournment of the case, and this application was complied with, Mr Marks making no application to this course.

THE DEGANWY STREET WORKSHOP DISPUTE CASE. At the Llandudno County Court on Thurs- day the adjourned, ease, in which Mrs Judith Owen. of 5. Deganwy Street, sought an injun- tion against Thoma.s Jones, of 4, Deganwy Street. to restrain the defendant from using premises at the rear of his house as a work- shop, again came on for hearing. Mr Sward, of Hanley, appeared for the complainant, and Mr F. E. Smith, of Liverpool (instructed by Messrs Marks and Marks Llandudno) repre- sented the defendant. It will he remembered that complainant contended that the noise from the workshop was detrimental to her business as a lodging- house keeper, and damages were claimed. After a long conference between the re- presentatives of the parties interested an arrangement was arrived at, whereby defen- dant undertook not to use the workshop in question before a Certain hour in the morn- ing and later than a stated hour at night for work which caused noise.

Interesting Railway Case at 4berystwyth. At the Aberystwyth Petty Sessions on Wed- nesday, before Messrs E. P. Wynne., Peter Jones, and J. Watkin, Clement Garrett, gentleman, Richmond House, Borth, was charged by the Cambrian Railways Company with obstructing one of their porters whilst in the execution of his duty on July 24th. There was a counter-charge in which Mr Garrett summoned Mr Thomas, station master at Aberystwyth, for assaulting him on July 24th. Mr Minshsdll, of Oswestry, represented the Railway Company and Mr Cooper, of Bir- mingham, the defendant. From the evidence it appeared thftt Mr and Mrs Garrett reached the Aberystwyth station on July 24th for the purpose of gqmg to Borth with the mail train leavingft 6 25 p.m. This train was marked on thp time table not to stop at Borth, the first stoppage after leaving Aberystwyth biting Glandorg Junction. The booking clerk refused to book them, and they were told by porter, by Inspector Bamford, and by the station master that they could not travel by Jthat train. Notwithstanding this, both Mr Oiad Mrs- Garrett got into the train and refufed to get out. In order to prevent any accident at Borth station during the slowing dcjtwn of the train the station master locked them in, and they were obliged to travel to GlandpiAK J unction, and this now formed the. -ject orifee charge of assault. Mr G D001 It in his emdence stated that the^^Prere told by somefeie on the station t they could. travel bfr that train if they aid the difference between first and third- class fares. When the ,-ot into the carriage the station master threatened to pull them out.

Mr Minshall: Will you upon the first charge state a case if necessary? The Clerk: The Bench find as a fact that there was no obstruction.

HOME IUNTS. PsAoig TRIFLE.—Take four ripe peaches, skin, halve, and stone them. Pqt the kernels into atewpan with two ounces of loaf sugar and a small teacupful of water. Whep the syrup is boiling, put in the peaches and simmer gently for ten minutes, turn into a bowl and set them aside to cool. Cover the bottom of a glass dish with sponge fingers and ratafias; pour over them suffi- cient brandy or sherry to moisten the cakes. When they have stood for an hour pile the peaches on them and pour the syrup over. Whip a quarter of a pint of cream with a little milk and a few drops of ratafia essence until it is stiff enough to stand on the peaches. Garnish with sliced almonds and glace cherries. COMPOTE OF PEACHES WITH BLANCMANGE.— Remove the skins from half a dozen ripe peaches, divide them into halves and take out the stones, put the peaches into a piedish. Make a thick syrup by boiling together 4oz. of loaf sugar and a quarter of a pint of water for 10 minutes, add to the syrup a few drops of lemon juice, pour it over the peaches and set them aside to cool. Procure a packet of peach blancmange powder, and make it according to directions. When cold. turn it on to a glass dish, arrange "thtS peaches round with the syrup, and serve with wafer biscuits. PEACH MARMALADE.—Pare any quantity of ripe peaches, divide them and remove the stones; having weighed them,put thevn into a deep dish with three-quarters qf a pound of sifted white sugar to every pound pf fruit. Let them stand for six or seven hours, then turn them into a preser- ving pan and simmer gentlv for I minutes. Pour into jars, cover closely, and store in a dry but airy place. APRICOT TART.—Apricot tart is very seldom met with, and yet it is so delicious that it should often find a place in our menus. Into a stewpan put 3oz. of loaf sugar and a quarter of a pint of water; when it boils add one pound of apricots that have been stoned and a few of the kernels. Simmer until the fruit is soft, but not broken. Line the edges of a small pie dish with rich put paste, put in the apricots, cover with puff paste, and bake in a rather hot oven until suffi- ciently cooked. Lift the crust and pour into it a gill of cream; replace the pastry, beat a little white of egg with some powdered loaf sugar, brush over the top of the tart with thia. return it to the ovep for a few minutes, and then serve. PRESERVED GREENGAGES AND LARGE PTTRPMC PLUMS.—Weigh the fruit, and scald in boiling water to make the skins come off easily. Let them remain in a large bowl an hour after they are peeled, that the juice may exude lay the plums in the kettle alternately with layers of sugar, allowing pound for pound pour the juice over the top, and heat slowly to a boil; take out the plums at thia point retj carefully with a perforated skimmer, draining them well through it, and spread upon broad dishes in the sun boil the syrup until thick and clear, skimming it often return the plums to this and boil ten minutes spread out again until cool and firm, keeping the syrup on the fire; fill the jars half-full with the fruit; pour on the scalding syrup; cover to keep in the heat, and when cola tie it up. -Spare Moments. APPLE MARMALADE.—Take four pounds of cooking apples pare and core them, put them in an enamelled saucepan with about a quart of sweet cider and two pounds of caster sugar. Boil them until the fruit is quite soft. Squeeze it through a colander, and then through a sieve. Put away in jars covered with oiled paper and made perfectly air-tight. BREAKFAST Di&H-Cut thin slices of cold roast beef and lay them in a tin saucepan set in a pot of boiling water; cover them with the gravy made of three tablespoonfhls of melted butter, one of walnut ketchup, a tcttspoonful of vinegar, a little salt and pepper, spoonful of currant jelly, a tea- spoonful of made mustard, and some warm water; cover lightly and steam for half an hour, keeping the water in the outer vessel on a hard boil. If the meat should be underdone this will be found par- ticularly nice. To PREVENT LAMPS FROM SMOKING.—If you are putting a new wick in your lamp, soak it in vinegar first; then dry and insert as usual. This helps to prevent the lamp smoking, and make it a good light, although no lamp will burn properly unless it is kept clean, and the outside free from oil. The reservoir should be filled within half an inch of the top each time the lamp is used, and the burnt portion rubbed off the wick. If this is done, cutting once a week is quite enough. A lamp that is only half-filled with oil is sure to smell unpleasantly. HOW TO CLEAN THAT OLD BLACK SILK DRESS. —Remove any grease spots before commencing with the sponging of either black or coloured silks, using a lump of magnesia, and rubbing it on wet if the colour will endure water; or tear a visiting-card apart, and with the soft inside part rub, and the grease will disappear. French chalk removes grease, and does not injure coloured silks. Scrape a little on the spot, rub it in, and let it re- main 24 hours, and then brush it off. Repeat the process if necessary; some grease spots are hard to remove. A very simple method is to sponge the silk oa the jwrong side with warm water and alcohol, one- third of the latter to twice as much water, and iron on the same side with a barely warm iron until the silk is dry. Spongmg with hot strained coffee is particularly good for gros-grain silk, which is very apt to have a greasy ap e the silk in the air to remove the liqui never wring it. A FremArmethod is to sponge the silk on both Bideajwlh spirits of then iron on the WTomri'fmerW'iCtF *f)bwt6lltfl*&rino- tine between it and e iron. Black ribbons are cleaned j ust as bl silk is, and may be ironed or rolled smoothly o a broom-handle until dry. London Journalf SODA is an excellent article for cleaning tinware. Apply with a damp cloth and rub dry. TOMATOES may be salted and peppered, dipped into beaten ag d-bread crumbs, and fried until they are brown. For these it is better not to use the onion. The are particularly delicious served with fish.-Ei,en g Xeivs.

THE HUMAN OSWIOH. — The human ostrich was just about to {^.through his perform- ance, says a writer in Penny Afhgazine. '•Now gents," he said, irr«(tt.n get sixpence amongst you I'll do my work. IT# me a start, I'll swallow stones, coke.stons wrapped inside paper. fll swallow a watch if any gent will lend me one, and you shall hear it tick in- side my body. Now, gents, make a beginning-it only wants one of you to make a start with a coin. I'll eat anything barring dirt or poison. I am the human ostrich. I have now got threepence, gents, and if six of you will give me a halfpenny each I'll not keep you waiting.

Having obtained the desired amount, he proceeds IP select half-a-dozen (e' stones from his table, places one on his tongue, and presto, it is gone. He continues the opera- tion until the half-dozen iiave gone. He then pro- ceeds to smash a glass with the largest stone he can find. and places the' larger broken pieces in his mouth, bites them into small pieces, and swallows them.
