f THE ADVERTISER SAYS That another act in the Sunday Chairs Comedy was given at the monthly meet- ing of the Llandudno Urban Council on Wednesday evening, a number of the actors getting quite excited during the interpretation of the farce. That for any member to say the chairs are not wanted is to confess himself ignorant of the requirements of visitors. That it is an insult to the intelligence of his fellow-members, and the ratepayers generally for a member of the Council to say that visitors would be driven away from the town by the provision of chairs on which people might rest on Sundays. That yet this was the arrant twaddle which members brought forward to de- fend the prohibition of Sunday Chairs. That nevertheless a, considerable number of these men who voted against the pro- vision of chairs because it is supposed to be a desecration of the Sabbath are lodl-ing ai-id boarding-house keepers, where work is carried on on Sundays by their family and servants to provide for their lodgers, who probably come in greater numbers for the week-end. That those in favour of Sunday Chairs contend, and with good reason, that by providing these chairs they would be materially assisting in a peaceful Sab- bath. That in no other town where chairs are provided on the beach at all are the public forbidden their use on the Sun- day. That consequently Llandudno stands out prominently before the Kingdom as being ruled by what our visitors term "a combination of bigots" who are en- deavouring to force the people who maintain this town to adopt their own particular narrow Sabbatarian viewls, and are thus earning for Llandudno an unenviable notoriety throughout the length and breadth of the land, That at Colwyn Bay chairs are provided and appreciated, and is that town, more than Llandudno, gaining a reputation as a rowdy place on Sundays. That perhaps, it will not be out of place to point out here that a considerable number of those who voted against Sunday Chairs are the same gentlemen who persistently opposed the electric tramway on the ground that it was not required. That many other proposals for popularis- ing and developing Llandudno have been vehemently opposed,, and carried in the teeth of fierce opposition. -6 That the Sunday Chairs question will not be allowed to remain in abeyance, but a committee will probably be formed to keep the matter to the front until the Council's aissent is obtained. That the date for the first "Cinderella on Wheel's" has been definitely fixed for Thursday, May 14th. ,I That the conditions appertaining thereto will be published next week. if. That Mr T. W. Griffith has been appoint- ed chairman of the Carnarvonshire Joint Police Committee in succession to Sir H. J. Ellis Nanney. That the warmest spot during the day- time this Eastertide ha.s been the pro- menade immediately facing the pavil- ion entrance. That, whilst the seats on the parade were deserted, owing to the chilly blasts, every seat adjoining the pavilion wa-s fully occupied. That Llandudno has fared, from an atmospherical point of view, better than the majority of seaside resorts. That the amount of sunshine recorded is well in advance of most places. That the .series of morning and special evening concerts at the pavilion have attracted record houses. That the North Wales B.S. Company have suffered from the excessive cold wind and rough seas prevailing. < That they have fared no' worse than other resorts fron-i. which sea excursions are made. That although E'astertide is later than last year, the weather has been, if fine, very many degrees colder. That, the news of the death of the Right Hon. Campbell Banneman was received on all hands with the deepest regret in Llandudno. That out of respect to his memory flags were set flying half mast at the Town Hall, Mostyn Eistate Office, and other public places immediately on receipt of the news. That another loss by death to Llandudno was recorded earlier in the day. That we refer to the demise of Mr W. P. Plank, a, retired tea planter, who had made Llandudno his home for several years past. That he was a keen enthusiast of all out- door sports. That cricketers throughout North Wales knew and respected him. That he closely followed the fortunes of the Llandudno Amateur F.O. ( That they and all football clubs in Llan- dudno will greatly miss his ever ready support. That he was Chairman of the Liandud*o Cricket Club and Vice-President of ¡ several football teams. That he frequently acted in the capacity of Umpire on the Llandudno Cricket ground. That the tram cars have done a roaring trad-ei this Eiastertide. That the official figures of passengers car- ried are 24,002, for Good Friday, Saturday and Easter Mondav. I, That there is no truth in the rumour, freely reported, that the electrical sup- ply had petered out. That as a matter of fact Mr Morton and his staff were equal to the great demand, and throughout the cars ran without a hitch. That the supply of drivers and conductors- was not equal to the demand. That it wa.s not to be expected. That you cannot secure competent drivers at a moment's notice. That the tram company are not güing t.o runanvrisks. & <It- That it is confidently anticipated the whole route to Colwyn Bav will be opened by Whitsuntide. That it is intended to run a purely local car tor the convenience of residents That the innovation win "Hp dated. J- aPPre" That it is astonishing the number of pas- sengers who, during the holiday, went the full distance. That Skating Rink patrons have been crowding the cars daily, That this latest attrac-Lion to Llandudno is steadily gaming in popularity # That Tuesday morning last established a record for the number of skaters. Tha,t "Swanking" on the rink, has been definitely decided, is legitimate. That a special article- thereon will be found m our columns this week. That on Monday evening Mr Arthur Lennie, one of the instructors of the Liverpool rink, gave an exhibition with Mr David Bennett, That another instructor from Newcastle spent most of his Easter holidays on the Hippodrome Rink. That this is a further proof, if proof were required of the- great fascination this revivified pastime has upon the skater. That onlookers, judging from the crowded z!1 sta-te of the seating accommodation, are equally fascinated. That the- "Two Step" and Waltz music given by the band is an innovation that Tinkers most thoroughly appreciate. That rinking without music would be as I? uninteresting as a theatre without a play. That a booklet of words, if published, would command ready sale. That the suggestion is made in the hope that some enterprising individual will take it up. That with a few advertisements inter- spersed it should prove a. good "spec." That the Social Evening of the Llan- dudno Women's -Suffrage Society an- nounced for April 29th is postponed. That. a general meeting will be held at the Cambridge Restaurant on May 11th at 3 p.m., when the speaker will be Miss Walton Evans.

LLANRHOS EASTER VESTRY There was a large attendance of parish- ionersat the Llanrhos- Easter Vestry on Thursday evening, the Rev. J. F. Reece, the Vicar, presiding for the first time, the gathering taking place, in the Parish Room at the Llanrhos Cocoa House. Colonell the Hon. Henry Lloyd Mostyn and Mr Joseph Winter were re-elected churchwardens, and Mr Moody Was also unanimously elected assistant overseer for the coming year. The following addi- tional sidesmen were eleded: -8t Paul's: Dl. Mure, Mr Hallmark, and Mr Moody. All Saints: Mr Atkinson, Mr Temple, and Mr Hutchings. The accounts of the three Churches were presented and ordered to be publish- ed. At Llanrhos and All Saints the annual account shewed a credit balance, but at St. Paul's, owing, to heavy current expenses, things are not in such a satis- factory condition. At the beginning of the financial year there- was an adverse balance of L27 7s. 3d. and this hais unfortunately increased to £ 68 lis. 6d. We feel sure that this debt. will not be long allowed to remain, and that an early effort will be made to wipe it- off. It was suggested at the vestry, and the sugges- tion met with general acceptance, that a. separate fund be created at St. Paul's in future for the organist's salary, and it is to be hoped that the hint will be adopted by the congregation, as, this wiul con- siderably lighten the general expenses of the Church.
