THE RICHARD OWEN BEQUESTS. ARRANGEMENT OF THE EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIPS. At a meeting of the Carnarvonshire Educa- tion Committee on Thursday it was stated that with Tegard to a bequest made by the late MT Richard Owen, Llandudno, for educational pur- poses, the fund available was £ 5,000. The Finance Cdmmittee recommended that, in ac- cordance) with the terms of the will, there, should be provided three scholarships at the Bangor University College of e30 each, tenable for three years; threie exhibitions at the. same college of £ 10 each, tenable for three years; and three scholarships at the Llandudno County Sehool of P,10 each, tenable for three years. Mr R. Robertis urged that more the money should be bestowed on the. scholariships at the county school. He. complained that the tuition feels were so high that the very children whom the school was, inten,d,ecl to benefit were ex- cluded from it, .and the number of scholarships were far too few. The Chairman was afraid that Mr Roberts was taking too gloomy ia view of the subject, The Llandudno school had in the past suffered from the want iof scholars from the elementary schools, but he expected that they would have a. large proportion in the future. Mr Allanson Picton could net help seeing that there was a spirit abroad of levelling down instead of levelling up. The great advantage of the county schools was that children least privileged in social circumstances were brought into companionship with those who were more privileged, so that. the general tone was raised. 1il America they might see the son of the Presidelnt-whotS,e position he regarded as more important than that of any king or emperor- sitting side-by-side with the labourer's son in school.—(Hear, hear.) That was. what he de- sired to see in this -country—not that the j 'schools should be for the working classes only toi the exclusion of .children whose parents were I willing to- pay for their education.. I The ise,cretary intimated that there would pro- bably be a small balance annually under the Llandudno scheme which might be applied to the creation of additional county school scholarships, and with this arrangement the Committee! expressed themselves satisfied.

LLANDUDNO ELECTRIC LIGHTING CONCERN. ANALYSIS OF THE, YEAR'S WORKING. The following particulars for the year ended March, 1905, are taken from "The Electrical Times":—■ "For a small (concern the results of the Llan- dudno Electric Supply Undertaking are quite agreeable. The figures for the past year have already been introduced into our Table of Costs and Records, a summary fcif which is now given below:- FINANCIAL RESULTS. Year of working 6th; -capital expended, £ 39,110; total revenue, 6,288; working expenses, £ 3,284; gross profit, £ 3,004-; per cent. to average capital, 7.60; loan and special (charges, £ 2,603; surplus, Z41. TECHNICAL RECORDS. Number of Units Sold. Number of lamps, 27,595; private, 298,399; public., 41,465; destructor, 20,247 total, 360,111; maximum load in kw., 484; .load-factor, 8.49. AVERAGE PRICE OBTAINED. Private, 4.65; public, 2.66; destructor, nil; total, 4.16. WORKING EXPENSES PER UNIT SOLD. Ctlal, .98; stores, .11; wages, .28; repairs, .18; rates and taxes, .29; management, .35; towtial, 2.19. Unfortunately coal is a heavy item in the, expenditure, and the necessity of using 'best smokeless,' so as not to interfete with Llan- dudno's deservedly high reputation as a pleasure resort, added .15d. per unit to the costs last year, neutralizing all the other economies which Mr Morton was able to effect. The supply to the destructor lis apparently pxioj- vided free of charge-, and it does not appear from the accounts that the works get any bene- fit from the heat produced by the cremation of the refuse. TELEPHONE FOR LLANRWST. Some thirty subscribers have now been found at Llanrwst and T'refriw for the telephone, and the smiting up of the poles for the Company's wires from Conway has begun. The- wire will be liaid along the main road on the Carnarvon- ,shire Is.ideorf the. riv,er, and will therefore en- able subscribers at Talybont, Llanbedr, and other places to have circuits from the Llan- rwst exchange carried on the same poles. It is expected that the. exchange will be, ready for opening in four months. The con-cert in aid of the County School Building Fund was a great success. If the scholars would be eminently successful they should ask their parents to give them Edwards' Bread.

GRAND CONCERT AT THE PIER PAVILION. A concert in aid elf the Llandudno and Con- way County School Building Funds was given at the. Pier Pavilion on Tuesday evening last. The vocalists being Miss Alice Roberts (soprano) and Mtr Emlyn Davies (baritone). The, instrumental soloists were Miss Lilian Wright (violin) and Miss Margaret Thomas (pianoforte). A mixed choir, under the conduct.orship of Mr J. Ord Charter, in whclseabl-e hands the whole of the arranging and managing had been safely left, opened the programme with Mendelssohn's "In the Woods." This was followed by Miss Thomas' pianoforte soli (a), Schumann's "Nachtatuck"; (b), Sterndale Bennett's "Toccata." The voca.1 solo., "Purcell's "Nymphs and Shepherds," by Miss Alice Roberts, was very deservedly encorfed, and in response she sang "The Land :clf Hope and Glory." Miss L. Wright's violin concerto, "Andante and Finale," was a brilliant perfiormancel and greatly enjoyed. She was very ably accom- panied by Mrs Reginald James. Mr Emlyn Davies, an old favourite with Llandudno -audiencels,came in for a hearty reception. His rendering of Pinjsuti's "The Bugler" was given in his masterly and finished stylel, which could not help but secure a recall. In response, he sang "My Lady Fair." Mendelssohn's "Hunt- ing Song," by the Choir, was followed by Miss Alice Roberts' solo, "Roses in June," one of Edward German's latest productions. A piano- forte and violin duett by Misses Thomas and Wright concluded the first portion of the pro- gramme. The second half was opened by the Choir with Pinsuti's "In this hour of softened splendour." Mr Emlyn Davies followed with Vaughan Williams' "The Vagabond." Miss Thomas' pianoforte solo, Prelude, Nocturne, and Valise, by Chopin, was very warmly re- ceived and well worthy an encore, the lateness of the hour alone- being responsible for its non- insistance. Miss Alice Roberts next sang St. Saen's "Samson and Delilah," for which she was loudly applauded. Miss L. Wright in her solo, Zarzycki's "Maz-ourka," was again highly successful, her marvellous .executive abilities being greatly marked. Mr Emlyn Davies scored heavily in Edward German's "Glorious Devon," a solig new to Llandudno, and as isung by Mr Davies it must always command a repeat. The singing of the National Anthem concluded a highly enjoyable con-cert.
