ABEtiGELE NOTES. A saceessful Dramatic Entertainment was held at the Church House on Tuesday evening, the proceeds of which will be devoted towards Church expenses. —o— A meeting of the Joint Committee appointed by the Urban and Parish Councils in connection with the charities was held last week. Mr Pieree Da vies presided. It was passed unanimously that the two Councils be requested to appoint trustees for the Penucha charity. —0— The Land Nationalization Va* arrived in Abergele on Friday evening, and took up a position in Market Street. Dr. Pan Jones, Mostyn, and an English delegate addressed an attentive audienoe, advocating the principles of the society. — o— Free drinks were offered to all eomers at the Ship Inn on a certain day this week by the new tenant. I suppose the thing is legal, 8r the police would have interfered, but it is a very objectionable practice, and ought not to be allowed One redeeming feature was that a good number of our young men were away, and thus out of reach of this particular temptation. I must again refer to the Llangollen excursion. The bonus returned by the Railway Company has come to hand, and the Church party have collared the lion share of it. It was distinctly understood at the committee that the proceeds vwuld be divided equally among the three denominations. But the Church claims a percentage on the tickets sold, although they were sold without any discrimination at the station and other places. The Nonccns. will think twice before making an united excursion again. Tu BAXBLHB.

THE RHYL URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL JL have issued the following Appeal:— DEAR SIR (or MADAM), It will be within your knowledge, no doubt, that the Old Royal Alexandra. Hospital has been removed, and the Site purchased by the Council, with the aid of contributions by private persons. It is intended now to lay out the ground in an ornamental manner ae soon as possible, and appro- priate a portion of it for Lawn Tennis Courts, which would be a greut boon and attraction to Visitors. A Plan of the proposed improvement may be seen at the Town Surveyor's Office. It is con- sidered that such a work done voluntarily by the inhabitants generally would be looked upon as a suitable Memorial of Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee, and the event could be recorded on a Tablet piaced on the ground. Mr. W. Wynne, Tanllan, generously offers a donation of £50 towards the cost, and if a further sum of be contributed by public subscriptions the Council would be prepared to proceed with the work. The Council, whilst appealing more particularly to Owners and Occupiers of Property specially be- nefited by the improvement, venture to hope that all interested in the attractions and welfare of Rhyl will see fit to subscribe to the Fund. Kindly respond to me without delay, as the Council, if reasonably encouraged, would endeavour to have the place ready for opening early in August. —I am, yours faithfully, ARTHUR ROWLANDS, Clerk to the Council.

THE COUNCIL AND THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD. It is exceedingly to be regretted that the opponents of the West Promenade extension should have thought fit to carry their opposition to the proposed loan (to the extent of importonatiag the Local Government Board with their objections after the holding of the inquiry. The Local Government Board occupy a judicial position, and their inquiries ought consequently to be conducted on striotly judicial principles. In ordinary litigation in snperior and coao-nonlaw courts, no litigant would dream of writing or approaching the judge after hearing of the action in open court. Whildt we are sure that functionary woald pay very little heed to any such communication if it were sent to him. We fail to see why a different coarse of procedare should obtain in regard to Local Government Board Inquiries. If tbat hoiy ate going to delay their decisions upon the receipt of ex partie statements after ths hold- ing of the inquiry, from any ratepayers who happens to ho!d strong views on the question it must materially tell against the efficiency of looal government. For over six months the Local Government Board have had this matter ) in hand. Four months have elapsed since the f holding of the inquiry, and up to last Monday they bad not given their decision, nor, in fact, have they yet given their final assent to the loan. This delay has baen undoubtedly occasioned by the action of certain gentlemen who subsequent to the inquiry have urged upon thaca iu correspondence, the objections t ien raised with certain additions by way of strengthening them. We are more surprised at the action of the Local Government Uoard in allowing this kiad of tLiog than at the fact that the opponeots of the loan should try to retrieve the weak case they made at the inquiry by t'ome after-thoughts which it was thought would help their opposition. Such a com S3 of proceding very properly deserved and demanded a protest from the Urban District Council. But whilst we think Mr Elwy Wiiliams would have been better advised to allow his opposition to rest with the public inquiry we cannot but express re- gret at the tooe of the Council's letter which was the subject of such deprecatory remarks at Monday's monthly meeting And here let us ventilate a little personul grievance. The letter i J question was a lengthy document, and read at a rapid rate by the Clerk. The reporters relied upon being allowed to take a copy, and couseqaeatly did not take a short- hand note of it, and when approached, the Town Clerk very readily said he would be pleased to allow them to do so. But when next morning they presented themselves at his office to auk a fulfilment of the promise, they found that after consultation with one or two Councillors, the Clerk had changed his mind, and he refused to allow the reporters to see the letter. Therefore, we are only able to give what IslittIEI better than a garbled version of its contents. This is a most ill-advised and stupid proceeding. The dissuesion upon the letter is folly reported, and dealing aa the speeches do with certain of its worse passages they are liable to convey the impression that its contents are all of a more or less personal character, whilst as a matter of fact the main portion of the reply ia a forcible exposition of the fallaciousness of the arguments ad. vanced by Mr Elwy Williams. So long as the letter was publicly discussed in the Council-chamber the public bad a right to have accurate information as to its contents, in order that they might themselves decide whether the comments passed upon it were deser/ed or not. The reporters have at all times acquiesced with much readiness in any requtst made by the Coanc l i I keep eut of the press, or to give prominence to any matter which the Council desired. The only harm the letter could do was with the Local Govern- ment Board, and they were already in pos- session of it. We cannot help thinking that had the discussion taken another turn acd resulted in praiaiag rather than mildly cur- sing the letter no hesitation would have been shown in allowing it to be made public. How- ever, this incident will teach the reporters a lesson, viz., to take a note of everything that transpires at the Council meeting, and to exercise their own discretion as to what they should publish without submitting to the eensorsbip of either Chairman, Councillor, or Clerk. But after all this epistolatory achievement of the trio who framed it has not bad any very mischievous effects with the Local Government Board, but has pro- voked them into giving a reply which might be assamed as practically acceding to the loan. The Local Government Board merely stipu- late that certain alterations and additions should be made to the work. This they re- cognise will entail a larger cost than the amount of the loan applied for, and they broadly hint that the Council will find no difficulty in obtaining tke larger loan if they apply for it. It would therefore seem that the only result of the dogmatic and untiring opposition which the loan has been subjected to has been to compel the Council to spend more money on the work than they intended to, or was in fact needed. We are quite convinced that the plans of the Surveyor, approved as they have been by a firm of eminent Manchester architects, and by a committee among whom are several gentle- men well qualified to give an opinion, were sufficient to meet all requirements. The opposition have succeeded in making the Local Government Board, who are not acquainted with all the circumstances, dubious of this, and therefore they turn round and say, "If the objeotion by which these gentlemen hope to upset the loan consists in the idea that the work is not sufficiently strong, we can easily remove it, and inform them that we are pre- pared to grant an increased loan for the purpose. Whether the gentlemen who have persisted in this opposition are satisfied with their work in possibly placing the town to an extra expense of £500 or X1000, we do not DOW. Seeing that their avowed object was to prevent the expenditure of any further money we should say they are Dot. Con- vinced as we are of the entire needlessness of spending a larger sum on the works we can- not help regretting that the opposition should have been attended with such unfortunate results to theZtOWL), and by now those who are responsible for it must likewise experience some degree of remorse that their action should have ended in so much discomfiture to themselves and delay and expense to the towa.

SHOCKING OUTRAGE ON A RHTIDDLAN YlVm LADY. ROBBED AND ASSAULTED ON THE HIGHWAY. On Tuesday, about mid-day, Miss Annie Hughes, the daughter of Mr Roger Haghes, Chemist, of Rhuddlan, was the object of one of the most distardly and brutal attacks and robbery which it has ever been our painful duty to record. The young ludy was proceeding on her bicycle to Caeiwys. Some two or three miles beyond Rhnsillt, and near the Traveller's Ion she walked her bicycle and overtook a person on horsoback. The man and the animal were at the time at a standstill. He addressed Miss Hugbes with the object of ascertaining from her the way to Holywell, and she gave him the desired information. Having received this civility he promptly alighted from horseback end without any warning seissjd Miss Hughes violently and carried her to the hedge where he attempted to indecent]; assault her. She pluckily struggled with her assailant, and succeeded in preventing him effecting his purpose- Foiled ia this he proceeded to assault and illlreat her in a most brutal manner. He beat her about the head and body and having deprived her of a gold diamond engagement ring and her bracelet be finally lett her prostrate on the ground, mounted his horse aud rode in the direction of Rhyl. After a few minutes the young lady recovered to a sufficient extent to remount her machine and she rode to the Traveller's Inn from whence she sent a message to her frfends at Caerwys whom she was on her way to visit. Inform- ation was given by the young lady of what had taken place, and after her injuries had been attended to she was taken home to Rhuddlar. Here it was found that she bare the most severe marks of i!lusage. One eye was absolutely closed up her face was cut and her body badly braised. Later in the evening she drove to the Police station at Rhyl with her parents and gave a full account of what had taken place. She was fortunately able to describe with some degree of minuteness the appearance of the man who assaulted her. Sabseqaent inquiries elicited the fact that he had earlier in the day hired a horse for four hours from Messrs Heathcote, Rhyl, with whom be deposited 80s. Later in the afternoon he was lilefn riding on horseback through St. Aseph at a rapid pc, and he finally returned the horse to its owners within the four hours for which be bad hired it. kle, was refunded the deposit less the charge for the hire. After this trace of him was lost and he is supposed to have left the town immediately. The police, under Inspector Williams, have set on foot the most active inquiries, and there are strong hopes that the villan will soon ba in the safe clutches of the law.

RHYL COUNTY SCHOOL. MEETING OF GOVERNORS. A special meeting of the Local Governing Body was held at the Council Chamber, on Wednesday, for the purpose of meeting Mr Headlam, the assistant Inspector of the Central Board. The governors present were Mr R. Ll. Jones (rice- chairman), Mrs E. Lloyd Jones, Mrs Camphell, Messrs Robert Jolley, C. W. Jones, W. A. Lewis, M.A. (headmaster), and J. Roberts Jones (clerk to the governors). The Inspector said he considered that the build- ings at present used for the school were in every way suitable for the purposes of the school. He should like to see a playground provided, bnt as that was impossible at present he hoped that the governors would do what they could to find a suitable place as soon as possible. He was bound to say that every attention should be paid to natural science and manual training. Ho found that several children came from outside Rhyl. but did not board with the master. That being so the houses in which the children lodged should be licensed by the governors. Mr Charles Jones replied that the governors were not in a position to license houses. How could they attend to nuoh matters ? Mr Headlam said be did not think that there was the least difficulty. It would have to be carried out according to the scheme. Applications for admission to the school had to be made to the headmaster, and it would be necessary for tae children to state where they proposed to reside. It would then be the duty of the headmaster and sub-committee to visit the places and report. If the houses were suitable then a license could be granted. It may seem a very simple matter, and things might go on for years, but it was possible that children might be lodged in unsuitable houses. In reply to Mr Hedlim, the clerk stated that at present there was JE779 4s. 7d. in hand towards the building fund, so that there was a little over JE100 required to complete the fand. With regard to the scholarships and bursaries, Mr Headlam stated that he considered the object of the scheme was to enable by meana of bursaries, children who were resident a distiLoe from the school to avail themselves of its advantages. The scholarships were given for children of the labouring classes who were particularly bright. He did not think that the Intermediate Schools were intended for children who showed no promise. Mr Jolley said that the workingmen complained that they had to support a school in order that the children of the middle and upper classes might get free education. Mr Heilam replied that tkose persons who said that forgot that elementary education was free to all. Children of average ability had an excellent chance of winning a scholarship. Mr Charles Jones said he pad always held that the bursaries were meant for children who did not reside in the district, and he thought that no Rhyl children should be considered in that respect until the claims of all country children were disposed of. In reply to Mr Headlam, the headmaster, said that at present his staff was sufficient, but if there was an increase he would require another assistant, who he thought should be a properly qualified science master. He did not expect a decrease in the number ot scholars next term. Mrs Lloyd Jones sailed attention to the faet that the Rhyl Urban District Council had not elected a lady governor as required by the scheme. She had been in correspondence with the Charity Com- miasioners on the subject. Mr Headlam said he would place the matter before the Charity Commissioners as soon as be got to London. Mr Jolley also pointed out that the County Governing Body had deducted a sum per head of scholars because the Rhyl governors had made their fees lower than those charged at other schools. Mr Hfadlam said he would place the matter before the Charity Commissioners, and if as it was contended the County Governing Body bad ex- ceeded their powers the matter would be reotified. The Vice-chairman having arrived during the conference, after the departure of Mr Headlam, took the chair, and some routine business was transacted. ■ ■ !_■ a u 1111 n 11 ■HILJ.IJI

R.W.F. we wiil confine our remarks As already stated the camp, pitched in a field adjoining that occupied by the regiment two years ago, mid- way between South und St. Anne's-on-Sea, was found quite in readiness for the reception of the troops. The Quartermaster Lieut. Mullington displayed considerable aptitude in laying out the camp. Located in a pleasant corner of the field, the" tented home," of our local civilian defenders is sheltered along the entire length of one side by a shady coppice. Ample space has been allowed between the tents, and the more defined divisions botween the two half battalion, or the High Street, as it is sometimes called, and between the lines of the officers, and the men, and the necessary marquees for the officers and sergeants' messes, the stores, canteen, &c., are all conveniently situated, the whole forming one of the most compactly and conveniently laid-out camps that we have seen, and little wonder the brigadier commended it. When the troops marched in on Saturday night, each man to save the trouble, inconvenience, and often dissatisfaction resulting from hasty cookery on the first day, was served with a soldier's friend" (Anglise pork pie) direct from Melton Mowbray, and the usual con-Goncomitant from Burion-on- Trent, to the extent of one pint. After supper the men eujoyed a night's rest—that is, they alternated the night between sleep and ear-wig bunting—the presence of this game" in profusion being the only drawback to the ground—and in the morning the whole appearance of the place gave one the idea that it Had been occupied for some cousiderable time, and not since the previous day oniy. Mr Yapp, of Hereford, the gentleman who gave so much satisfaction by his catering last year at Towyn, supplies the canteen also this year and in addition the sergeants' mess has been placed in bis capable hands, Divine service was held on Sunday on the field, and was |of the order generally described as a "drum-head" The. Cheshire and Flintshire battalions joined in the services, the chaplain of the latter (the Rev. T. LI. Nicholas, M.A., officiating. Service over and dinner dispatched, the men, with the exception, of course, of those detailed for duty, were at liberty for the rest of the day. On Monday and Tuesday, battalion drill was the order of the day, and on Thursday the brigade turned out together, the Flintshire battalion being under the command of Lieut. Co). Sheriff Robert", the other officers present being Majors Sparrow, Hurlbutt and Dyson, Captaius Keatiage, Stubbs, Dew, Fielding, Keene and Rathbone, Lieuti. Jas. Browne, Kelly, A. M. Ralli, L. G. Hall, Leask, Jones and Moutague Williams, together with the adjutant (Capt. 1 lan Gougb), Surgeon Lieut. Swanson, and Quartermaster and Lieutenant Mullimrton. Rhyl Company as usual is largely drawn upon for "special duty." Sergeant Sim cock is in charge of the signallers, Sergt. Sarsons, of stretcher bearers, and Sergt. R. P. Griffiths, of the cyclists, whilst Sergeant J. D. Williams is on permanent duty as canteen sergeant, thus leaving only Col. Sergt. Peplow with the company, in addition, of course, to the officers and Sergt Instructor Parcell. To those who take an interest in our local civilian soldiers, this fact will furnish another proof of our local "non corns'" efficiency, and their capability of undertaking any duty they may be called upon to perform. Indeed, we may say that the Rhyl Company, generally, has acquitted itself admirably during the present training. The Captain and his officers personally interested themselves in the com- fort and surroundings of the men, and the feeling is reciprocated in the rank and file, with the result that everything goes as meirily as a marriage bell. On Tuesday, Captain Keatinge, as the senior captain in the battalion, was called upon to take command, and h; put the regiment through several evolutions in a manner that gained for him general commendations. Sergt. Griffiths had also we are informed, attracted the attention of the Brigadier, by his meritorious survey as sergeant of the cyclists section. In passing, it may be mentioned that on Monday night Col. Cooke, the late commandant of the regi- ment, and the honorary colonel, addressed the officers, after mt ss, on his retirement from the service. Lieut. Col. Roberts also spoke and dwelt on the valuable work aone by Col. Cooke for the Volunteer Movement generally, and for this regiment particularly. Every officer now serving had received his commission through Col. Cooke, and it was he also who raised the new companies, lately added to the battalion, resulting in the necessity of dividing it into two. The battalion will be inspected to-day (Friday).
