-------------THE ORAIGYDON…
THE ORAIGYDON BOARDING HOUSE. The Xmas gathering of 1908 at "The Craigydon" was even more successful than the previous one. Many of the visitors of last year returned, hoping to meet old friends, nor were they disappointed, for over 70 arrived to spend the holiday. The walks, concerts, games, etc., were thoroughly enjoyed, and the typical Xmas, weather of frost and snow, so unusual in Llandudno, added greatly to the excite- ment. The usual motor and coach drives had to be abandoned, but were made up for by walks and other amusements, the principal of which were bridge and whist drives, a l'ittle comedy "Granny," a fancy dress dance and Cinderellas. The amuse- ments were kept up till after the New Year, as so many visitors stayed on.
CHRISTMAS HOT POT.
CHRISTMAS HOT POT. Thanks to the energetic working of this Committee responsible for the providing of this popular provision for those in poor circumstances the "hot-pots" were again distributed this year. A look into the kitchen of the George Hotel on Christmas Eve revealed huge, heaps of meat cut into pieces of uniform size, and clothes baskets full of potatoes, onions, etc., being pre- pared under the supervision of Professor Beaumont (chairman), Mr Richard Royle (secretary) and other members of the com- mittee. The hot pots—418 in number— were baked at the, following establish- ments grat,uiously:- Mr Hobson, Penrhvnside^ 56; Mr Vollam, Craigydon, 34; Mr Meredih, Back Augusta Street-, 70; Mr Smith, Victoria Restaurant, 60; EL B. Jones and cb. 2. Gloddaeth Street, 70; T'. Roberts and Sons, Roby House, 68; P. J. Smith, Black Gate, 60. The contents were computed to supply a generous meal for over 1600 people, and in addition a, loaf of bread was given to each recipient, the gift of the different grocers in the town. T'he secretary writ- ing in respect to the contents of the hot- pots says: "We have heard no complaints." It may be interesting to know that, tohe total weight of the contents was 3567 lbs., made up as follows:-Meat, 1373 lbs. potatoes, 1985 lbs.; onions, 178 lbs. salt, 18 lbs.; pepper, 1 lb. A guessing competition as to the weight took place at the benefit performance in the Pier Bioscope, the following1 being the win- ners:-R,. Lunt, Ripon House; 3450 lbs. (15s.); Edward Edwards, Prospect Ter- race, 3700 lbs. (10s.); R. Williams, Howard Road, 3327 lbs. (5s.). Those who last, year received hot-pots and; neglected to return the vessels were the only applicants whose request for a dinner was declined. The committee will be pleased to receive the annual subscrip- tions of those who- have not already paid the same, and contributions from any other source.

LLANDUDNO PAROCHIAL TEA.
LLANDUDNO PAROCHIAL TEA. The annual parochial tea, is one of the most popular of local fixtures, and judg- ing by the large attendance in the Town Hall on Wednesday afternoon its popu- larity becomes more pronounced every year The parishioners were generally welcomed by the Rector andi Mrs Hughes, and all made to feel quite at, home. The tables were, in addition to being, laden with comestibles of all kinds, usual at such gatherings. profusely decorated with flowers and plants. The ladies presiding at the tables were Mrs and Misses Dal ton, Mrs Cotton, Mrs and Mliss1 Eakins, Masses Sherratti, Mrs and Miss Parker, Mrs Peers, Mrs Mather and Miss Mather, Mrs Woodhouse, Mrs Bevan, Mrs Shed Roberts, Mrs Tjimms, Mrs Barrow, Miss Buckley, Mliss Alice Buckley, Mrs Jas.

Owing to. the inclemency of the weather Mrs Broomei, Mliss Beamish (Gloddaeth) and Mrs John Walker were unable to be present and take tables as originally arranged. The catering as usual was entrusted to Mrs Williams, The Cambridge Restaurant, and was in every way excellent. THE: ENTERTAINMEiNT. The Town Hall was packed for the even- ing entertainment when the Rector pre- sided, and during the course of a, brief speech expressed the pleasure he felt in finding the hall so full. Such a large attendance proved the fact that, such gatherings were growing' in popularity. There were not many towns or parishes where everyone from the poorest to the mosti opulent could meet together and have a pleasant time on the friendliest of terms. There was only one fact he re- gretted, and that was that Mrs Hughes Williams, R'A.M., of Bangor, was un- able to be present owing to indisposition. He thanked the large number of influential residents of Llandudno who had made the effort to be present, and he thought that great credit was due to many of them for the manner in which they had helped to make the Christmas of the poorer classes a, happy one by means of distributing coals,, etc. In concluding, he thanked one and all who had assisted in making the annual parochial tea, such a success. The following programme was then proceeded with and thoroughly en- joyed, especially the humorous sketch at the close, entitled "P'o,et v.

BURNING FATALITY AT LLANDUDNO.-
BURNING FATALITY AT LLANDUDNO. On Tuesday evening a fatal burning acci- dent occurred at 4, Cwlach Street, a little girl of seven years of age, named Louisa Bryan, being the victim through her pinafore catching fire, in a bedroom. The child is the daughter of Mr Alfred Bryan, and her mother had owing to the cold lighted a fire in the bedroom and left the girl playing there while she went down- stairs. Shortly afterwards the mother heard screams, and going to the room found Louisa in flames. The cries attract- ed the attention of Mrs Bryan's brother, who lives next door, and he rushed to the room, wrapped his coat round the girl, carried her down stairs and then rolled her in the snow. Dr. Woodhouse was called and ordered her removal to the Cottage Hospital, at which institution she died on Wednesday evening. The Bryans had six other children, and had provided a guard for the kitchen fire downstairs. THE INQUEST. An inquest into the affair was held by Mr Coroner Penilir Williams and a jury, of whom Mr S. Hughes, junr., was elected foreman on Thursday afternoon, at the Hospital. Miss Wright, matron of the hospital, on beting sworn, said it was the body of Louisa Bryan the jury had just viewed. The girl was seven years of age, and the daughter of Alfred Bryan, 4, Cwlach Street. She was brought to the hospital on Tuesday evening about seven o'clock suffering from extensive burns and shock. The whole of the front part of the body from the knees up to the throat was very much burnt. The lower part of the face and both arms were also burnt. She was in a very precarious state when admitted, and became delirious and restless. She did not appear to have much pain then, but suffered from thirst. She raillied about three o'clock in the morning, but gradually sank and died in the after- noon. The case was hopeless from the first, but children recover from so much that they did not give up hope. Dr. Woodhouse attended her, the cause of death being shock from the burns. In reply to a juryman, who asked if the girl had any flannelette, witness said the only clothing she had on when ad- mitted was a woollen vest. Alice Bryan, sister of the deceased girl, said her father was a labourer. She was with her sister when she was burnt. They were upstairs in the, bedroom in which there was a fire. She was sitting on a stool, but her sister was standing up. nearer the fire. The fire was a bright one. She put up her foot on the hob to pre- vent her sister going near the fire. After a quarter of an hour witness pulled her foot- up to get away from the stool, and then her sister's pinafore caught fire. She called to her mother, Who was in the kitchen sitting down. Her mother came up and wrapped her cloak round deceased and carried her downstairs. Her uncle, Charles Wil- liams, then came up and rolled her in the snow. She was burrjing all the time until then. There was no fender or guard. The grate was a little low one. Her mother had warned her not to go too near the fire, but had not told her to watch the, Eitle girl. Her sister wore two flannelette petticoats and a sateen dress. When they had the fire out Dr. Wood- house was sent for and ordered the child to be taken to the hospital. Mary Grace Bryan, mother of the, girl, said she had left the children in the room. The girl was not very strong, and had asked for a fire upstairs. She put, the fire there, and told the girl not to go too near. They had only been a few minutes alone in the room 2 which was a big one. She heard Alice call "Mamma, Louisa is on fire." She took a cloak upstairs and put out the fire as much as she could. The greater part of her clothing was flannelette. She had a big guard for the kitchen. The Coroner Did it not strike you was a dangerous thing to leave them alone 1 I never do leave them, sir. There had only been a fire there once before. The Coroner: On the second night they had a, fire this happened. The Coroner described the accident as a typical one. The clothing was of the most inflammable material. The mother did all she could after the accident, but he was surprised she left them there alonei, especially as she appeared to be aware of the danger. The Foreman Not twenty per cent. of the houses in the town have guards. The Coroner, continuing., said that the new Children Act would come into force on the following day and it then be a criminal offence, to leave children alone in a room when there was a, fire without pro- vidingf a guard. O The jury returned a verdict of accidental death.
ILLANDUDNO SCHOOL MANAGERS.
I LLANDUDNO SCHOOL MANAGERS. I ) A meeting of the managers of Llan- I dudno Church Schools was held in the Church House, Trinity Street,, on Tues- day, the Rev. Ll. R. Hughes, M.A. (rec- tor) presiding. There were present Miss Buckley, Mr R. Conway, Mr Nathan Jones, Mr W. Ellis Jone's, Rev. W. E. Jones (correspondent), Mr J. EL Hornsby, headmaster St. George's School, and Mr J. H. S. Stevens, headmaster of Bodafon School. GLANWYDDEN NEW SCHOOL. In reply to a question put by the Chair- man, it was stated that the new school at Glanwydden was o accommodate 200 and not 250 as originally intended. There will be five classrooms and presumably a central hall. GAS SUPPLY INSUFFICIENT. Mr J. E. Hornsby reported that the gas in St. George's School was not of a satisfactory quality, and it was decided that the attention of the Llandudno Ur- ban District Council should be directed to the insufficient supply, and pointed out to them that a larger main was necessary. AN OLD DISPUTE. The everlasting dispute as to what con- stitutes the fabric of the Church Schools and what should be classed as "wear and tear" wasagalin brought up. At the October meeting of the, managers it was reported that a new stove was necessary, and that the gas burners at, St. George's School wanted renewing. The matter was discussed at length, and finally the foundation managers agreed to put the gas burners rights, and Mr John Owen undertook to do what he could to get the Education Committee to put, in a new stove. The managers fulfilled their part of the bargain;. but, evidently Mr John Owen could not convince the Education Committee that the stove should: be, put right by them, for a letter was read again drawing he manager's attention to the matter, and asking that it be put right without delay. Mr Ellis Jones proposed that the cor- respondent reply reiterating the man- ager's contention that the stove should be replaced by the County Authority, and pointing out that the Schoolroom was only used for about 2 hours per week 2 for anything in connection with the Church. The Rector said that in Lancashire an arrangement, had been arrived at whereby the foundation managers of non-provided schools paid a share of the cost of certain repairs necessary. Mjiss Buckley seconded the resolution. Mr Conway said he had hoped to see some of his friends the enemy present, for he thought they had arrived at a rea- sonable compromise, and he would have liked to ask them to support the reply of the managers when it came before the Committee. The state of the stoves at Bodafon were .included (as before) in the resolution, which was carried unanimously. During the discussion, the Rector stated that he had heard thalt Mr L. J. Roberts, H.M.I. of Schools, intended coming to reside in Llandudno. BOOTS FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN. Mr Stevens reported that the medical officer of health. had visited Bodafon School and inspected the children. He had also looked at the boots of many, and said that eight of them should be pro- vided with new pairs. Mr Stevens then said that a gentleman had promised to become responsible for five pairs provided the other three were forthcoming. After some discussion Mr Stevens was instructed to see the relieving officer on the matter and endeavour to get the boots from the Guardians, "but to get them in any case." COOKING AND WOODWORK. Mr Nathan Jones said he had visited the wood work class at the County School as appointed. There was an instructor there, but as far as he could see the lads were working anyhow. [As our representative declined to undertake not to publish Mr Jones" further observation on the work, Mr Jones on his part declined to say anything further.] The question of the girl's cooking class was then introduced, and Mr Stevens said that he thought the girls from his school were doing very well. The only disadvantage he saw was that in their own homes there would not be anything like the facilities as provided at the class. The Rector said that was his impres- sion., and he felt that not one in ten of the scholars would have such implements in their own houses. Another manager said that he feared that, they were being taught to cook things which would be impractical in the future life, and asked why they were not taught to cook potatoes. The Rector: That is what they were being taught when I was there. 01 Mr Hornsby said the, teacher was a very good one and did her work well, and was in every way an excellent guide to the children. Miss Buckley They were making pan- cakes when I was there and making them very nice too. The subject then dropped. The remaiining business was of no pub- lic interest.
