LLANDUDNO MAY-DAY On Tuesday next May-Day will be cele- brated in. the time honoured manner in Llandudno. The May-Day Committee has been working hard for weeks perfecting the arrangements, and jud,ging: by the enthusiasm shewn the day's proceedings should be carried through most success- fully, and with credit to the town. The, Procession and Sports Committee of which Mr Greenfield is chairman have been ahl,el to add 'companies of Morris dancers to the procession and a tug-of-war and steeplechases to the sports and racing programme. The May-Queen will of course be present in the procession in her florally decorated state coach. Mr Green- field has again undertaken the task of de- coration, which it is hinted will be even more, beautiful! than in previous years. The proceed/lings in the Pavilion have been entrusted to Mr (Si. Fl. Cooper. A look in at, the Pavilion on Saturday afternoon found the children hard at work perfecting themselves in the different de- tails of the royal procession; which, owing to the magnificence of the cus- tumes hired for the occasion, will be an unusually brilliant spectacle. The dancers are being given their final lessons by Mr Stanton,, of Preston, the trainer, and several novelties are promised. The May-Queen will, be crowned by Miss Wood', Pabo Hall. THE SPORTS. A splendid sports programme has been arranged, the- first race on the programme being fixed for four o'clock. Messrs Ahdulla and CIo. have presented a valuable challenge cup, to be given the winner of the, two- mile open flat race for horses. The sports prizes are on view at Mr H. Blairniann's, corner of Lloyd Street and Mostyn Street. THE L.A.D.S. In the evening the L.A.D.S. will pre- sent at the Grand Theatre "The Strange Adventures of Miss Brown," the proceeds being in aid of the Sanatorium and T.I.A. The play is a farcical comedy in three, acts, in the first of which Miss Brown makes an unexpected appearance at Major O'Gallagher's Quarters, Chelms- ford. In the second she is guilty of most unladylike behaviour at Miss Romney's Academy, Cicero House, Colchester, while in the third she makes a most astounding confession and departs for ever from the Academy. The following will be the cast,e:- Miss Romney Mrs Geo. Chase, junr. Angela Brightwell.Miss Blanche Leavitt Euphemia Schwartz..Miss Nellie Margetts Matilda, Jones Miss Mabel Margetts Clara Loveridge Miss May Prior Millicent Loveridge Miss Doris Ward Mrs O'Gall a.gher Miss Mabel Ward Major O'Gallagher.Mr A. Clevere Slater Private Docherty.Mr J. Reeves Davies Her Von Moser Mr Bert Cooper Mr Ilibbertson Mr S. Hewitt, junr. Sergt. Tanner Mr R. H. Thomas Capt. Oourtney.Mr Geo. Chase, junr.

PIER PAVILION CONCERTS. MISS, MARIA V Hi.LAN D (Contralto). This vocalist made her debut before a, Llandudno audience on Saturday evening, and from the outset gained the warmest verdict for her renderings. The possessor of a voice of remarkable richness and purity, she sings with dramatic fervour; indeed she would be equally pleasing with less of the latter. It is seldom one hears so young a, contralto with so great, a range and power. During her stay- she con- tributed so many enjoyable items that it is difficult to select one more pleasing than the rest; possibly Gounod's "Entreat me not to leave thee," and Sullivan's "The Lost Chord," both of which she sang on Sunday, and for the latter had to twice bow her acknowledgements, would be hard to improve upon. It speaks volumes for the success of Miss Yelland's visit, when we record! that she' has been encored at her every appearance at the secular con- certs, and augurs well for any future visit she may favour us with. A native of Cornwall, she has been be- fore the public for the last three years. Trained at the Royal College of Music., she has had the advantage of Mr Henry Blower's tuition, and amongst a long list of engagements she has sung to the baton. of Mr Arthur W. Payne in London. We can only conclude our notes on this vocalist's sucoes at Llandudno, by say- ing, she has thoroughly deserved the ap- plause that has been nightly accorded her. MRI HAROLD JARVIS (Harpist). Mr Jarvis is always sure of a hearty reception, and on Saturday last thorough- ly deserved the encore he secured for his "Welsh Airs." ORCHESTRAL ITEMS. ¡ We have frequently heard the pier orchestra quartette party in Tschaikow- sky's "Andante Ganta,bile from Quartett Op. 11, but never that we. can recall to better advantage than on Sunday evening. It was simply perfect, and we can only hope a repeat performance will be given by the same members of the orchestra at an early date. Another item at this same concert was Mr Geo. Atkinson's pianoforte solo, "Capriccio Brilliante," a really fine inter- pretation, and we might add that the whole evening's concert was most enjoy- able and brimful of interesting items for which Mr Haigh is deserving of the highest encomiums. MR. ARTHUR NICHOLLS (Oboe Soloist). On Monday evening one of the tit-bits was Mr Nicholls, oboe solo. A. M. S. Barret's "Au Varie," arrang,ed by Mr H. Jarvis. Mr Nichoils was in fine form, and the inevitable followed. VliSiIT: OF LORiDr STALBRIDGE. On Tuesday evening a, popular pro- gramme had been arranged in honour of the visit of Lord Stailbridge to Llan- dudno, pariculars of which will be found elsewhere His Lordship was unable to be present, but amongst the notables in the audience we, noticed Mr Wm. Jones, the M.P. for this district, and judging by the heartiness of his applause e was thoroughly enjoying the specially arranged programme. In addition to Miss Yelland, who came in for a special ovation, Mr A. Halstead gave three flute soli of P. El. Hal stead's composing1. "Lullaby," "Intermezzo" and "Bagatelle," each in their turn being most warmly applauded. MR. GEO. ROWLrANDSr (Baritone). For this evening only Mr R,owlands's services were brought into requisition indeed we think we are correct in stating it was his first appearance, with any orchestra. A vocalist of note in Oxton, where he is the baritone soloist of Trinity Church. Mr Rowlands made a, good im- pression on his audience, and secured a well-merited encore for his rendering of Pinsuti's "The Bedouin's Love Song," selecting "Glorious Devon" for his recall item, the audience again showing their appreciation. In the second half he sang Sarjeant's "Blow, blow, thou Winter Wind." Mr Rowlands is an amateur of considerable promise, and should at no distant date make a name for himself on the concert platform. 41- A HUMOROUS TURN. The orchestra lapsed into humour in the item, entitled A Characteristic Piece, "La Plui" (A Shower). A further note on the programme vouchsafed the in- formation that it was "A slight overflow from Lay 11 Duiyn." IMPORTANT ITEMS. The Extension Series of Concerts are engaging the attention of the Special Committee1., and amongst other interesting- items of news we are pleased to be able to state that Miss Lucy Nutall will be one of the vocalists. It has been suggested that the services of one or more humorists should be engaged, and the matter will be 1-) 0 brought up for consideration at the next committee meeting. L Mr Walter Haigh is taking the keenest interest in the arrangements which are being made, and if enthusiasm and hard work are to make the Extension Series a success, then the object has already been attained. Every single member of the Special Committee having put in some strenuous work, being ably led by the chairman, Mr Win. Arnold, and the hon. secretary, Mr Brocklehurst. VOCALIST FOR: NEXT WEEK. Miss Laura. Evans-Williams, a soprano who never fails to please her audience, is the vocalist to-night (Saturday) and dur- ing the week.

THE ADVERTISER SAYS That the turning on of the water cere- mony by Lord Stalbridge on Tuesday was one of the most successful func- tions ever held at Llandudno. That Lord Stalbridge was a very apt speaker, and Mr James McMaster proved himself an ideal chairman. That Mr Wm. Jones also made an excel- lent speech; and the statement of Mr Reel, the general manager of the L. and N. W. Railway Company, that notwith- standing he icould travel on all rail- ways free in the Kingdom, he and his family always spent their holidays in North Wales, is worth repeating. That the arrangements made by the Town Clerk (Mr Conolly) and his assistants were carried out with thoroughness. That the Council are to be congratulated upon obtain the services of such a well- known man as the Chairman of the L. and N.W. Railway Company to perform the turning on ceremony. That the town received a splendid adver- tisement in the daily Press, in all parts of the Kingdom. That it cannot be too greatly emphasised that the progress of this railway and the prosperity of Llandudno, and North Wales generally, are intertwined. That this is recognised by the Chairman and Manager of the Company, was evi- dent from their speeches. That the Company are advertising North Wales by pictorial and letterpress adverts in the London and Provincial Press. That the Town Improvement Association would be well advised to put a small Llandudno advertisement under these pictorial displays. That Lord Stalbridge is better known in North Wales under the title of Lord Richard Grosvenor. That he was at one time member for one of the divisions of Flintshire. That he is a brother of the late Duke of Westminster and great uncle of the present Duke. That the regular daily sailings between Liverpol and Llandudno of the Liver- pool and North Wales steamers will commence on Saturday, May 15th. That the steamers to open the service will be the "St. El vies" and the "St. T'udno." That the "La Marguerite" will also sail from May 29th to June 6th inclusive, and every Sunday in June, Mondays, 21st and 28th, and Saturday, 26th of June. That the fleelt this year will be augmented and include "La Marguerite," "St. Tudno," "St. Elvies," "Snowdon," St. Trillo" and, "St. Elian." That this is a fine fleet of steamers cap- able of fully meeting the needs of the North Wales Coast traffic. That on Tuesday next May Day will be celebrated in the time-honoured fashion That, proceedings will commence as usual with the trades procession, which this year will be of a specially interesting character. -V' That two companies of Morris dancers from Flint will take part. I That the ceremony of crowning the May- Queen will be performed in the Pavil- ion by Miss Wood, Pabo Hall. That the spectacle this year will be more than usually brilliant. Iliil——M—1^—— That. the children are being practised daily in the different dances, etc. That tickets should be booked without further delay. That the sports will be held on the Coun- cil Field. That the prizes include a ten-guinea chal- lenge cup, given by Messrs Abdulla and Co., Ltd., in the two mile flat horse race. That in the evening the L.A.D.S. will play at the Grand Theatre "The Strange Adventures of Miss Brown." That the Llandudno Urban Council are making experiments on thePronienade to guage the effects of lighting by elec- tricity or incandescent gas. ,¡ That seven or eight of the standards have been utilised for the purpose. That both the new lights are much brighter than the old arc lamps, That the detailed results as to cost and consuming poiver of lamps will be very interesting. That about 70 pictures belonging to Mr Harold Rathbone, of this town, and art director of the "Delia Robbia" pottery, of Birkenhead, were offered for sale at Messrs Christie, Mason and Woods. That almost the whole of the works re- corded have been lent for two years by Mr Rathbone to the Mostyn Art Gal- lery, for the students who attend the school in that building to encourage the art of that town. That the exhibition while it lasted created a, good deal of interest and was visited more than once by the dis- tinguished chairmen of more than one provincial, as well as by the late Mr Charles Eastlake, keeper of the National Gallery. That the list comprised works by Arthur Hughes, Albert Moore, Spencer Stan- hope, Ford Madox Brown, Sir Eclwarcl Burne Jones, and Mr Hornel. » That the series of original cartoons from I the masterly pencils of Ford Madox Brown and Sir Edward Burne Jones was interesting and unusual. That there were also some quite early oil sketches from the brush of Madox Brown, which were his colour studies for the fresco competition which was shared by Cope, R.A., and Armitage, and won by Dyce, for the famous paint- ings in the Houser of Lords; the two in question representing the "Finding of the body of Harold" after the battle of Hastings, and "Adam and Eve" after the Fall. < That it is some satisfaction to note That no tax has ben put upon May-Day festivities. That the only damper now to be antici- pa;ted is a visit from Jupiter Pluvius. 1 -NI ay That with one exception the May-Day Celebrations at Llandudno have been very fortunate, climatically speaking. That tobacco smokers will have to con- sider the advisability of buving a cheaper brand of tobacco, to meet the half-penny an ounce tax. That many would-be purchasers of motor- .cars will be glad they have refrained from indulging in the luxury of owning a car. That the, tax of threepence per gallon for petrol, has already led to heated, not to say spirited remarks by car owners. That Clubs have. not been forgotten. That the Income Tax has been raised two- pence, and there is every promise of more to follow. That it naturally follows whatever is taxed there is bound to be some grumbling. That it, is a Britisher's privilege to growl, and pay. That the best advice we can give is to pay up, and look pleasant, photographically speaking. That, in the words of Pelissur of Folly fame, "There's a sun still shining in the sky." That to turn to more plesant subjects, Llandudno is to be specially advertised by the novel process of cinematographs. That arrangements have already been made for photographing the town to the best advantage. That the arrival and departure of "La Marguerite," the Coaching and Motor- ing Tours, Tram-rides through Llan- dudno and Penrhynside cutting:, Tram- ride up the Orme, Happy Valley Min- strels, Launch of the Lifeboat, and turnout of the Fire Brigade are amongst the items to be depicted. That it will also include the crowd on the pier and a Church parade on the promenade. That the idea originated at the "Adver- tiser" Office, and has been warmly accepted and approved of by the Llan- dudno Town Improvement Association. That Messrs Films, Ltd., of Liverpool, who supply Mr Samuel Hughes, junr., with his excelIent series of'pictures, have the marter in hand, and are enter- ing most enthusiastically into the work. That Whitsuntide has been selected for taking the views. ¡ That two series will be finally selected from the views taken and placed in the leading Cinematograph Halls in the North of England, Ireland and Wales. That we doubt if a better method of bring- ing the charms of Llandudno before the public can be conceived. That if there are any such, filtering- through the wind of our readers, we shall be glad to learn of them. That Dr. Jayne", Lord Bishop of Chester, has taken Bron Meillion, Abbev Road, Llandudno, from Mav 1st for three months. ,¡
