Mr Adams, the local manager, will,, be in attendance daily to re- ceive applications.

TRIAL BY JURY. I SUCCESSFUL PERFORMANCE BY THE LLANDUDNO AMATEUR OPERATIC SOCIETY. From a local standpoint one of the most interestino- events of the Llandudno Con- tt,it Extension season was the performance of GiIheTt, :nd. Sullivan's evergreen comic opera, "Trial by Jury," by the Llandudno Amateur Operatic Society, on Wednesday evening last, under the conductorship cf Mr Lawrence Summerfield, with the Pier Orchestra responsible for the orchestral items. It was anticipated there would be: a Jarge audience, and the anticipation, proved correct, for long before the doors opened the entrance to the Pavilion was- besieged, and when the doors were open- ed the-crowd pushed and struggled in order to obtain admission, the confusion- being increased by a heavy fall of ram,' All parts of the Pavilion were well filled^ and long before the time for commencing, the programme had a'rrived-a,I.l ooig-ns of 'vantage had been taken, and the Conu' mittee's exchequer must have naturally, bene.-fitte,d. The following is the programme :— r .The Learned Judge, Mr Sam Hewitt The Plaintiff, Mrs T. Osborne Roberts* The, Defendant, Mr CI W. Brown; Coun- sel for the Plaintiff, Mr H. Williams Usher, Mr Jack Roberts; Foreman of the f Jury, Mr A. J. Peacock; Associate, Mr J Winter First Bridesmaid, Miss F. Bal- shaw. Chorus of Bridesmaids, Jury, and Public: Me.sdames I. AlLjmtt, M. Butler, | L. Bowyer, S. Blakey, J. Burrows:. K. Clayton, M. Griffiths, G. Heap, R. Helstrip, M. Ililton. L. Jones, G. Jones, E. Sutton Jones, L. Lucking, C. Làn. S. Mason, K. Pemberton, E. Powell, E., Reading, M. Reading, N. Roberts,, Bs Roberts, C. Roberts, N. So well, G Timms, A. Udale, M. Underwood, H. Webb; Messrs A. C. Axtell, C. M. Brown, J-j Blakey. A. Bellis, F Bowyer, F Chandler,i W. J. Clough. C. H. Elliott, J. Jones, L. Sutton-Jones, T. Lysons, A. J. S. Mer- chant. A. Temple. J The production was under the direction: of Mi* F. Bowyer. Bridesmaids dance arranged by Miss Roberts, Huyton. The scenery and properties prepared by Mr W. Lines, and the wigs supplied Mr Tom Hewitt. Craigydon. It will D9 remembered that "Trial by Jury" was given by our Amateur Operatic Society in the Barlypart of the year at the Grand Theatre with great success. ) The performance was a highly credit- able one, although it will not coliip Iare. with that given at the Grand Theatre, and this solely on account of the vastness of the pavilion. There were two notable changes in leading roles, Mr Sam Hewitt vice Mr George Chase as The Learned Judge, and Mr A. J. Peacock vice! Mr C. H: Beva,n, "Foreman of the Jury." Both these gentlemen carried out their allotted roles with complete success.; and "The Plaintiff," Mrs Osborne Roberts, and "Usher," Mr Jack Roberts, are deserving of the highest enconiums for their per- formances, which were distinctly good. The choruses were qultd a leadings feature aptd. de-servingp tf> the frequent: enecires with which they were rewarded, and Mr Siin-iiiierfield is to be congratulated on & ible-to produce at this season of the,, year, when rehearsals are most difficult to I rn arrange to suit ail concerned, «jich a good all round production.

I.' CORRESPONDENCE.

'BROKEN GLASS ON THE ORME.

Anyhow it is. a sub j ect for no argument; you have an. eyesore and a danger, and the thing to be considered is how best to remove this. Your? truly. ■ BIRMINGHAM. October 15 th, 1910. ?

EXTENSION CONCERTS. ATTRACTIVE PROGRAMMES In consequence of the length of our notice of the Musical Festival, the space available for our usual "Concert Notes" is limited; we cannot however pass over last. Monday evening's concert without special reference to the excellence of the fare pro- vided. MR. GEORGE, MACKLIN, A tenor who has been twice previously heard at these, concerts this season, sang with great success Verdi's "La donna e Momile," and Tosti's "My Dreams," being loudly encored on each occasion. Mr Maddinwas in excellent voice, and has more than confirmed our previous opinion of his capabilities. MISS LOUIE. JAMES (Soprano). Miss James was heard at the extension series of concerts some twelve months ago, and made a very considerable impres- sion upon her audiences, but the success which has attended her visit, the first three evenings of this week, was much more pronounced. Her rendition of Weber's "Ocean, thou Mighty. Monstre," was particularly marked for its artistic phrasing and general treatment of this most exacting composition. The possessor of a rich and powerful voice with a purity of tone exceptionally good, her every song secured for her loud demands for more. Miss James is well-known in Llandudno, but her vocal powers have never been so finely de-n-ionstrated to her friends and well-wishers as on this occasion. ME-I. DAVID EVANS (Baritone). Another vocalist who sang at Monday's concert was Mr David Evans, who made his debut before a Pier Pavilion audience. He at once sang himself into a Jront rank of popularity in Leoncavallo's Prologue to "Pagliacci," l and F. E, WeSherBy's "Myfahwy" being most" pronouncedly en- cored for each. Nature, has gifted Mr David Elvans with an exceedingly rich baritone voice, and his renditions are at once artistic and stirring. V V," i: MASTER PAUL BEARD (Violinist). In another column of this iSSlle will-be found a photograph and history of this re- markable juvenile violinist. It is rarely that the pier pavilion audiences are raised to such a high pitch of enthuiasm as they were occasion of this diminutive player's debut at Llandudno. "Romance" by. Dancia. "Moto Perpetuo" by Edward German were the items set down, both of which -lie played with remarkable.ski 11 for one so voung. The outburst of genuine V O O appreciation at the finale of the second n 1 item was heartily joinedin with by every b e member of the orchestra, and encore was equally appreciated, Master Paul p having to return and bow his thanks. S NIGHT. On Wednesday evening" a Sullivan Pro- gramme had been arranged, Mr C. W. Brown, tenor,1 being the Vocalist1. He was highly successful in his renditioil of ''Take- a Pair of Sparkling. Eyes," and deservedly encored, and this success has followed his appearance on the two following evenings. The second half of this Wednesday even- ing's programme had been set aside, for the production "Trial''foy" Jury" by the Llandudno Amateur Operatic Societv. under the musical direction of Mi L H 1 Sunpherfield'L | OLD MEMORIES. :'r On Friday ereniiig Ml-s E H. Harding's Waltz Old Memories," WAs' performed by the orchestra at the Pavilion, and was most sympathetically rendered. This piece lias been played oji 'Several occasions during the season, and ^as 'iiefver ^failed to elicit much applause. <f THE THIRD WEEK S P--ROC-, .For the closing week Qf the series the- programme must be coftsideced. -ejtaeeding- ly good. Including Mr Carter aiS<l Miss .ae tend over Beeley, whose engagemejie tJextead over the-week end, there a.re.fievenalrt!!tes to appear. The dates will be.found set out in our advertising columns. Mr James Coleman, who his in- troduction to Llandudno to the Autumn Concerts of last year, is to sing at a full week's concerts, and lie is nire of the most .friendl-y reception. Miss Bertha Jones is a Merionethshire soprano of considerable' promise, and will make her first appearance at Llandudno. Miss Gwendoline Harper., is a young soprano singer from the Manchester dis- trict who has gained remarkable distinc- tion at the college in that-city. Her voice is one of quite extreme range. Her visit on Tuesday next will be an event looked forward to. Miss Dorothy Silk is a vocalist of some distinction in the Midlands. A programme is before us of a vocal recital which she gave in March last at the Grosvenor. Rooms, Birmingham, at which Mr Max Mossel, violinist, assisted. Miss Silk sang songs in German, French, and Eng- lish, and Mr Elrnest Newman writing of a recital, said that she gave some singing that showed much .accomplishment and still more promise. H-er voice is of un- usiuilly pure, quality. • and (this'tor the Welsh singets 'who stidcunib to the vice) free from vibrato. MISS LUCY NUTTALL AND THE MOELWYX CHOIR,. On Thursday night next the long anti- cipated .visit of the Moelwyn Male Voice Choir takes place. They are to sing three selections during the concert, at least, and are to take part with the orchestra in two other numbers. Mr Cachvaladr Roberts, the veteran leader of-the choir, will con- duct. Then on Saturday, and Sunday, Octo- ber 29th and 30th, Miss Lucy Nuttall, the now famous contralto, fresh from her studies in France, will appear. Miss Nuttall. promised last yeaic.to sing again at the Autumn Concerts': Committee's con- certs, and is redeeming thafpromisB with- out fee, except a pavment just to cover her hotel expenses. Her return to Llan- dudno will undoubtedly be an event of ) much popular interest. She is to take part in a. duet with Mr James Coleman. Miss Nuttall's visit will be the closing event of the season, the last concert being" that of Sunday night, October 31st,

DEATH & FUNERAL OF MRS ENOCH DAVIS. Our readers will learn with deep regret of the death of Mrs Enoch Davis, which took place on Sunday last, at the age of 67- years. Mrs Davis had been a great sufferer for many years, but bore her bur- den with rare Christian fortitude. On Friday, September 30th, she had a stroke from which she never recovered, although Dr. Dalton was most unremitting in his attention and did all in his power to re- lieve her sufferings. Mr and Mrs Day's were married in 1872 and came to reside in Llandudno from Gloucestershire 3S years ago, Mr Davis at that time being a carter in the employ of the London and North-Western Railway Company. Sub- sequently, in 1887, he started business as a market gardener and took the shop in Lloyd Street, which was managed bv Mrs Davis. The departed lady had been a mem- ber of St. John's Wesley an Church during the whole time of her residence in Llan- dudno., and was a conscientious worker for the good of the cause. It may also be stated that her husband has held every office in the church open to a layman, and is at the present time one of the church trustees. The funeral took place on Wed| nesday afternoon, and was one of the largest attended of recent years. The chief mourners were Mr Enoch Davis, Mr and Mrs A. J. Davis, Mr and Mrs R, E. Davis, Mrs G, Davis, Mr Edwin Davis, Mr and Mrs A. Davis. Dr. Dal- ton, Nurse Pennington, Rev. J. E, Ham, Mrs Ham, Mrs Amos, Mrs Arch. Mrs Meredith. Mrs S. J. Smith.

T. E. Ham, resident Wesleyan minister. The undertaker was Mr John Dewar, and Messrs S. J. Smith, W. Smith. -Arch and G. Davies acted as bearers. Mr Enoch Davis and family found it impossible to individually thank the very many friends who have written expressino, svmpa-thy in their bereavement and wish to tender their sincere gratitude to all who Have done so.

On Tuesday at the Flintshire Quarter Sess- ions at Molfl, John Heathcote (45), a |we}J • known townsman of Rhyl, and formerly pari proprietor of one of the largest coaching" businesses -on the North Wales coast, sulk. rendered to bail on three charges laid astaintq:" him, on the information of Mr. LI.
