One prize is a solid silver tankard, given by the president, Mr A Foulkes Roberta and a silver tobacco box given by the High Sheriff of Den- bighshire (Mr R Roberts). DENBIGHITES AT RHYL.—The National Eisteddfod of Wales, which has been held in Rhyl during the week, a report of which appears in another column, has been well patronized by Denbighites during the week. The railway company had arranged a series of cheap hooking during the week, which were taken advantage of by immense crowds. Yesterday (Thursday) was the busiest day, when about 350 booked to Rhyl by the morn- ing train and over 200 by the two train, and Denbigh looked quite deserted. LOCAL PRIZE WINNERS AT THE EISTEDDFOD. —In the list of awards in the report of the National Eisteddfod which, during the week, has been held at Rhyl, will be found several local names. Those of this town are Mr David Owen, Star Shop, and Messrs J T Hughes and Sons, weavers. Mr Owen secured the first prize of JE2 for the best descriptive song on the "Hiring Fair." Messrs Hughes and Sons secured first prizes in various weaving com- petitions. Mr Owen and Messrs Hughes and Son are to be congratulated upon their success. AN "EISTEDDFODWR" IN TROUBLE.—At a special borough police court, held this morn- ing (Friday), before Mr R Humphreys Roberts, John Williams, a respectably dressed man, hailing from Manchester, and a fitter in the employ of the Central Railway, was charged by Police-constable T D Williams for being drunk and incapable in High-street on the 8th inst. It appeared that the defendant had come to Rhyl for the Eisteddfod, but came to Den- bigh, and at 12 o'clock on Thursday evening he was found in the above condition. Defendant was fined 2s 6i and costs. WEDDING.- Oil Saturday, at the Fron Chapel, Denbigh, a very pretty wedding took place. The contracting parties were Mr George Williams, platelayer, and Miss Annie Roberts, daughter of Mr David Roberts—both of the Green, near Denbigh. The ceremony was per- formed by the Rev Evan Jones, C.M., in the presence of the registrar, Mr Gwilym Parry. Mr D J Davies, Fron-terrace, acted as best man, whilst the bridesmaid was Miss Jones, Efail y Green. In the afternoon the happy couple left for London, where the honeymoon will be spent. The presents were both numer- ous and costly. FOREIGN MISSION GUILD.-The first annual gathering of the above, which is composed chiefly of members of the Rector's bible class, was held on Thursday, September 1st. At 3 p.m. a service of intercession for missions was held at St David's Church, after which the Rev Herbert Evans, vicar of St Asaph, lelivered a very encouraging address. At the Jonclusion of the service the members pro- ceeded to the Rectory, where tea was provided 'or them by the Rector and Mrs Davies. Various games were then indulged in on the awn, and, being fortunate in having a fine day, l present thoroughly enjoyed themselves. SHOOTING MATCH.—The annual shooting natch between the D (Denbigh) and G" Ruthin) Companies of the 1st V.B.R.W.F., ;akes place to-day (Saturday) on the range of ¡he latter Company. The Denbigh team is as :ollows Sergt-Instructor J P&yp,, Sergts T Roberts, J 0 Thomas, R Williams, W Williams. Jorpls P Jones and T E Lloyd, Lance-Corpl F Pritchard, Bugler J C Davies, Privates Edw Elughes and T Shill. Bandmaster C M Humphreys will be register keepsr, whilst the nterest of the D Company in the butts will be looked after by Lance-Corporal J H Emmanuel. C&pt F B Clough will accompany .he team to Ruthin, who journey there in a Drake. RAILWAY FACILITEs.-Our readers will, no loubt, remember the question of the Denbigh Railway Station being connected with the STational Telephone Exchange being discussed ay the Town Council a short time ago. The rown Clerk has since been in communication ivith the Railway Company on the matter, and 1e has now drawn up a memorial to the Company urging the desirability of telephonic communication being established between the station and the town, and such memorial now ies at the Town Clerk's office for signature by jhe telephone subscribers, tradesmen, and sthers interested. It is proposed to forward ;he memorial at the end of next week We aeed hardly point out the great convenience to ill concerned, particularly as the station at Denbigh is situated at a considerable distance rom the centre of business, and we would suggest that advantage be taken of the oppor- iunity of signing the memorial. THE NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD.-We are pleased ;o understand that the author of the transla. tion of the Itinerarium Cambrise" by jir&ldus Cambrensis from the Latin into iVelsh is Mr J C Davies, M.A., the Organizer of Education for the County of Denbigh. The ivork has never been satisfactjrily translated into English there is a very imperfect version )f portions of this work by Sir R C Hoare published in the Bohn's series, but it is quite antiquated and out of date. The late Professor Brewer observes in his preface to the Latin rext published by the Master of the Rolls that Sir R C Hoare's version is very far from being 10 good one it is generally much less close to the original than it ought to be, and it is often iadly incorrect even where Camden gives him the right Latin. He seems to have been scarcely versed enough in Medseval Latin to be always able to understand his author." Consequently the translation had to be done afresh, direot from the original, without the assistance of any oiher version, English or Foreign, and the high standard of excellence attained by Mr Davies' version reflects the greatest credit upon his scholarship. The prize is £15. MR ALBERT CHEVALIER AT DENBIGH.—Mr Albert Chevalier, of the Queen's Hall, London, and of world-wide fame, paid the Drill Hall, Denbigh, a visit last evening (Thursday). At first it was thought that this excellent im- personator would not have a gcod house, owing to the Eisteddfod. However at eight o'clock, the advertised tima of starting, there was a very gocd audience —the reserved Hearts being filled, and the Is seats more so. The 2s seats were also well patronised. The evening's per- formance was opened by a pianoforte solo, Sonita in D, Op. 31, No. 1" (Beethoven), by Mr Alfred E West, which was loudly applauded. Following this came Mr Chevalier in hia song, The future Mrs 'Awkins." He was loudly applauded, to which he responded with Our little Nipper." For this he was again loudly applauded. It was announced during the firist part of the programme that, owiofe to indisposition, Miss Flossie Behrens would not be able to give any of her whistling golos, bun her part would be taken by a gentle- man, who would give one or two songs. This gentleman a a Very_ strong voice, and ren- dered bis 80°68 Miss Tresilian Davy was loudly applauded for the rendering of «• Poor wand ring one, but for the sjngiEg 0f "Never go to Sea on a Fnday she Was8loJdly encored, and m response sang "Until to- morrow." During the second part of the pro- gramme Mr Alfred West gave another piano- forte solo entitled "Imperial Patrol" of his own composition- For *"18 was loudly encored and responsed^ witli "Toccata," another of his compositions. Mr Albert Chevalier, in "My Old Dutch," was extremely well received and was loudly applauded. He was also exceedingly good in the Bong" W ot fur do 'ee luv 'oi." He was loudly encored for the rendering of a 11 Burlesque French Song," and had to repeat the rendering. With his recital Anky Panky" he fairly brought down the house. First of all he gave some slight of hand tricks, then he sang, and lastly gave a fine rendering of a. solo on a one string violin made out of a cigar box. He was loudly applauded or this. His last item was Out Court Ball, In which he most excellently impersonated the coster, and was the recipient of loud applause. There is no doubt that 11.1: who missed this excellent treat missed one thai is not often come across in Denbigh, and at those who were present expressed themselvei highly ple»»«d with Buch a perforaaance.
- DENBIGH COUNTY SCHOOL GOVERNORS.
DENBIGH COUNTY SCHOOL GOVERNORS. The monthly meeting of the Governors of the above school was held at the Board Room, Swan Chambers, on Monday after- noon, when there were present, Mr J Harrison Jones (in the chair), Revs James Charles, D D Richards, H Humphreys, Messrs John Jones, Cerrigllwydion Owen Williams, Glanclwyd Gwilym Parry, D S Davies, Mrs Parry, Clwyd-villas with the clerk (Mr A Foulkes Roberts). Letters of apology were received from Miss Gold Edwards and Mr C Cottom. HEADMASTER'S LETTER. The Clerk read the Headmaster's letter, which was as follows :— "As the school has been closed since your last meeting for the summer holidays there is no report. The following boys, who during the past year held a scholarship at the school, and who are returning to school for another year, are recommended a renewal of the scholarship for one year:—Tador Benson Evans, Denbigh; Richard Owen Jones, Llanrhaiadr William Davies, Henllan; Thomas Reginald Knowles, Denbigh Walter Owen Hughes, Arthur Millward Evans, and Oswald Hughes, of Denbigh. The award of the scholarship offered to the pupil who gained the highest percentage of marks in the examination of the Central Welsh Board cannot be made to-day as the results of that examination are not yet known. These eight scholarships, together with the four you are about to award to- day to boys from elementary school, make 12 in all—the highest number the school, according to the scheme, is entitled. Of these 12 it may be remarked five were awarded for good work to boys who had previously entered the school. The following pupils, who were recipients during the past year, are recommended a renewal of that bursary for another year on the usual conditions:—R M Evans, Pont'ralltgoch; Ebenezer Thomas, Hugh Horson, R L Lewis, A LI Morris, J W Jones, and D A Kelly, all of Denbigh; D Owen, Llansannan; D LI Davies and A LI Hughes, Henllan. The subjects that will be taught in the school, during the coming year, are included in the prospectus, which is now in the hands of the Governors. Any suggestions from the Governors as to the most judicious method of distribu- ting the prospectuses will be thankfully received." The Rev H Humphreys I propose that the seven scholarships mentioned in the letter be renewed. Mrs Parry seconded, and thelmotion was carried.
NEW SCHOLARSHIPS.
NEW SCHOLARSHIPS. The Clerk informed the Board that all the boys that had passed were town boys, there being no rural boys. The Chairman said that these examina- tions did a lot of good to the schools. The work of the boys has been very good. Mr D S Davies We are all very glad to see that, but this number, says the examiner in his report, is a small one for so large a centre. The following is the examiners report for Denbigh in the examination for scholar- ships:—"Five candidates presented. This is a small number for so large a centre. The work was decidedly good. Geography was about the best in the county." Rev James Charles said that he thought the rural schools ought to send some pupils for these scholarships. There are very often some very smart and bright lads in these schools. Mr D S Davies moved, and Mr Owen Williams seconded, that the two scholar- ships, one for rural schools and the other for town schools, for boys under 14 years, be awarded to William Roberts and Alfred Edward Jones. These boys had made 448 and 417 points respectively at the ex- amination. David Osborne Lloyd was awarded the town schools' scholarship for boys under 13 years, he having made 315 points. A long discussion took place as to whom the other scholarship, open to boys under 13 years, should be awarded to. The Clerk explained that Edward!Allen Ellis was over 13 years, but had won the required number of marks, whilst Llewelyn Thomas, who was under 13 years of age, was only three points under the minimum. The Clerk also informed the Board that this boy Thomas had been ill for six weeks, suffering from scarlet fever, prior to the examination. If thislillness had not taken place he would, no doubt, have won a scholarship. After this explanation by the Clerk, a discussion took place as to whether they as a iBoard could grant the scholarship under 13 years to the boy Ellis. The Chairman asked whether he should suggest that they recommend to the County Education Authority for the appointment of one of the boys. One was over the age and the other, under the ^circumstances, well qualified. The Rev James Charles: I think we could grant this scholarship to Ellis with- out asking the County Education Authority. The Clerk: They have been submitted to the County Authority for approval. Rev James Charles: We can submit them again. I^pcopose this boy Ellis have a scholarship. Mrs Parry seconded. The Clerk here read a letter from Mr E J Roberts, headmaster of the Love-lane Boys' School, in support of an application by the boy Thomas' father for a bursary. Mr D S Davies: I have great pleasure in supporting Mr Charles. The Rev H Humphreys: I propose that a representation be made to the County Authority with regard to Thomas. He was under 13 years of age when he tried the examination, and therefore complied with the terms of the advertisement. We ought to take into consideration the boy's illness. I propose that we elect him, subject to the permission of the County Authority. He is a promising boy and has done remarkably well. Mr Gwilym Parry seconded. On being put to the vote the amendment was lost by six votes to two, so that Ellis was awarded the scholarship. BURSARIES. The Rev H Humphreys asked what money they had. The Clerk: We have zC25 6s 8d to allocate between scholorships and bursaries PeOneth™'motion of Mr D S Daviea, the old bursaries recommended by the Headmaster were renewed. Applications were received from the parents of the following boys for bursaries: -Llewelyn Thomas, 13, Garden-terrace; Hugh Jones, Nantyrhengoed Farm, Groes; and Robert R Hughes. 7, Grawys-yillas. Mr D S Davies: We have zi l is 8d per term to grant in bursaries. Taking into consideration that the boy Thomas has done so well, I beg to move that he be awarded a bursary of £2. The Rev H Humphreys seconded, and it was agreed to. „ TT Hugh Jones and R R Hughes were awarded bursaries to the value of £ 2 and £ 1 respectively. SCIENCE AND ART EVENING CONTINUATION SCHOOL. The Chairman, as a member of the joint i committee, re science and art evening II continuation school, said that the com- mittee met, and they submitted number of queries to the County Authority. They bad heard from the Clerk, who stated that he had submitted the queries to the Educa- tion Authority in London. They could not do anything in the matter now, as the replies from London had not as yet been received. ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The Clerk read a letter from Mrs Williams, Llandyrnog Rectory, acknowledg- ing the vote of sympathy that had been passed at the last meeting of the Governors. DISTRIBUTION OF PROSPECTUS. Arising out of the Headmaster's letter with reference to the distribution of the school prospectuses, it was arranged that each schoolmaster of the elementary schools in the school district be given six prospectuses and also six to each of the School's Governors. It was also resolved that one copy be sent to each of the managers of the provided and non-provided schools. 0.
ANNUAL PRIZE SHOOTING OF THE…
ANNUAL PRIZE SHOOTING OF THE "D" CO. 1ST V.B.R.W.F. SPLENDID SHOOTING. t The annual prize shooting in connection with the "D" Company 1st V.B.R.W.F. took place on Saturday at the range on Graig Fawr, Tremeirchion. There was a strong rear wind with variable light on during the day, which made it very difficult for shooting. A very good muster of members turned up, and the shooting on the whole was very creditable. One of the chief events of the day was the shooting for the Salisbury cup, presented to the company some four or five years ago by Major Salisbury. Each member was allowed seven rounds at 150 yards, snap shooting, disappearing figures. Each figure was exposed for a period of four seconds. This snap shooting was very much above the average the 43 men that competed averaged four hits out of seven rounds, which was a very creditable feat. This competition proved very exciting, as there were no less than 12 ties, which had to be fired over and over again until one man headed the list with his score. After some close firing Sergt R Williams, amidst loud cheering, secured the cup, and is the holder for the next 12 months. In the meantime his name will be inscribed on the cup. In order to encourage shooting amongst recruits, Capt Clongh this year presented a handsome silver cup, to remain the 1 property of the company, to be shot for by I the recruits. This event also proved a J very interesting one, and the shooting on • the whole was very creditable. Seven ( recruits fired, and Private E H Jones, with 1 a score of 20 out of a possible 28 points, J secured the cup. The scores will be found I below. ( Capt F B Clough, Sergt Instructor J ] Pays, and Colour Sergt W G Helsby were 1 in charge of the range during the day, whilst Lance-Corpl D Davies and Private t Wm Evans very efficiently looked after the j butts. Capt Clough, with his usual generosity, supplied refreshments to the men, which were catered for by Mrs J P Jones, High- street; Messrs Matthews Bros., and T and j S H Ashford, Robert Owen, P E Story, J and James Cooke. Sergt Instructor J Pays and Lance Cerporal J H Emmanuel had I charge of these, and distributed them to the men The Sergeants of the Company, together ] with Capt Clough, had their refreshments in a tent close by, and Colour Sergt ] Helsby was in charge. i The following is a list of the competitions I with the results :— < In the shooting for the Salisbury cup each member was given seven rounds at 150 t yards. Twelve members tied with five J hits each. On firing again with three "I rounds Sergt R Williams made the possible J —three hits, whilst seven other members 1 made two hits. This second tie also had to be shot with three rounds, and Bugler J C Davies made the possible-tbree hits, thus securing the second prize. Corpl T E i Lloyd and Private E E Davies tied for third and fourth places, but eventually t Corpl Lloyd beat Private Davies with two hits against one. i The following is the order of the winners :—Sergt R Williams, cup and Yl s Bugler J C Davies, 10s; Corpl T E Lloyd, I 7s Gd; and Private E E Davies, 2s (id. s EFFICIENT MEMBERS.

MISSING BODIES FOUND. j We are indebted to the Editor of the Lurgan Mail for the following The long-continued search for the missing bodies of the unfortunate victims of the Lough Neagh boating disaster of the 23rd ult. terminated on Thursday after- noon of last week, when the corpses of the remaining victims, Frank and Dorothy Green, son and daughter of Mr W J Green, Kinnego, Lurgan, were found floating on the waters of the lake. About 12 o'clock, shortly after placing their nets in position for fishing, two men named Owen McAlinden and Wm McAliden, both of Derryclone, observed a hundred yards distant a man's head and shoulders bobbing up and down in the water. Proceeding towards the figure they discovered it to be that of a dead man, and they quickly lifted the remains into the boat. Being aware of the diligent search being made five miles distant at Ardmore point for the two re- maining victims they reasonably assumed that the body could be none other than that of Frank Green, and, accordingly, with the utmost expedition they conveyed it to the residence of Mr W J Green, where it was readily identified. A coaple of hours afterwards Mr Joseph Herbert, of Lurgan, and Wm John Tennyson, a lighter- man in the employment of Mr Green, while prosecuting the search in the vicinity of Ardmore Point, came across the only remaining body, that of Dorothy Green, floating on the surface of the water. The body was apparently low in the water, being passed over unnoticed once or twice during the morning by several of the boats. The occupants of one, however, when shaping its course in the direction of where the body of Frank Green was found, dis- cerned the remains of the ill-fated young lady, her hair just floating above the water attracting their attention. The body was immediately conveyed to Kinnego. The deceased boy and girl were fully clad, excepting that Frank had discarded [lis boots and stockings, and the bodies showed signs of decomposition. Frank's body was found at a place locally known is Towland's Flat, which is about four miles from Kinnego and five miles from the 3cene of the disaster, and is on the east iide of Kinnego Bay, whilst the occurrence took place on the western side. It is sur- nised that his body rose early on Thursday norning, and was wafted by the westerly areeze then blowing to the spot where liscovered. The remains of Dorothy Green were discovered about a mile to the east of Ardmore Point, and about one and a half niles from the supposed scene of the iisaster. It was evident that this body had usen later than the other, but it was head- ng in the same direction. Mr and Mrs Green and family still con- tinue to be the recipients of numerous jxpressions of sympathy. It is gratifying jO report that the survivor of the catas- trophe, Miss Winifred Green, has made nuch progress towards recovery. On Wednesday evening she was able to leave ler room and to sit ia the garden attached j her father's residence for a considerable time. [NQUEST ON THE BODIES OF FRANK AND DOROTHY GREEN. On Friday morning of last week, at 9.30, Mr W H Atkinson, divisional coroner, held m inquest at Kinnego on the bodies of Frank and Dorothy Green, the two remain- ng victims of the deplorable Lough Neagh joating disaster, whose remains were re- j sovered on Thursday afternoon. The following gentlemen were sworn on 1 the jury:—Messrs James Mercer (foreman), Edward E Gilmore, James P Newell, Wm fohnston, James Menary, Wm Livingstone, Peter Plenderleith, James Carson, Alex. Foster, George Anderson, Thos Gilchrist, Joseph Dillon, William Eccles, LL.D., Chomas H Gilpin. District-Inspector Mahony watched the iroceedings on behalf of the constabulary. ] Having viewed the bodies the jury re- turned to hear the evidence. William McAlinden, Derryclone, Co. Antrim, deposed: I am a fisherman and vas on the lake yesterday fishing with i draft net, when I found the remains of ?rank Green floating on the water. The ipot where found would be about 300 yards listant from Townland's Flat, Co. Antrim. 1 tVe got the remains out of the water and ] )rought them to Kinnego, and that is the )ody which the jury have just seen. The < leceased had all his clothing on excepting lis boots, socks and cap. < Wm John Tennyson, Derryland, deposed am a lighterman in the employment of Mr ireen. When searching for the bodies resterday I found that of Dorothy Green loating on the water. I conveyed the •emains to Kinnego. Mr Ernest Green deposed The deceased ] ?rank and Dora Green were my brother md sister, and were aged respectively 18 md 16 years. Frank was an engineer's ipprentice. I last saw them alive on the !3rd ult. Dr Agnew stated: Yesterday afternoon I examined the remains of Frank Green, and iscertained that there were no marks or vounds on the body, but there was a slight Lbrasion on the left side of the head, which night probably indicate that he had been ttrack there before death. The body was n an advance state of decomposition, and jhe appearances were characteristic of ieath from drowning and were consistent with death having occurred on the 23rd. Later in the afternoon I also examined the remains of Miss Dora Green. They were Eully clad, with the exception of her hat ind a golf cape which I understand she wore. I found on her hanging loose a watch and chain which had stopped at five minutes to seven. As a result of an external examination of the body, I am of opinion that death resulted from drowning, and the state of decomposition and the appearances were consistent with death having occurred 3n the 23rd ult. The Coroner thought the jury had all the evidence necessary in that particularly sad and distressing case, and he was sure they would have no dilliculty in coming to the conclusion that the deceased met with their death accidentally. He could only reiterate his previous statement that their deep sym- pathy was with the family of the deceased boy and girl. The sad affair had been brought so close to all of them by the fact that the bereaved parents lived in the im- mediate neighbourhood, and that the boy and girl were known to most of them. The jury returned the following verdict: "iThat the said Frank Green, being a male bachelor and engineering student, eighteen year of age, on the 23rd August, 1904, was accidentally drowned in the Waters of Lough Neagh, and we desire to express our sympathy with the friends and relatives of the deceased." A similar verdict was returned in the case of Dora Green, aud the proceedings terminated. The funeral took place on Friday after- noon, when the deceased were removed from Lakeside, the residence of their father, Mr J Green, for interment in the graveyard attached to the friends' meeting- house in High-street. The remains were conveyed in two hearaes, and notwithstand- ing a perfect deluge of rain large numbers of the factory operatives of Lurgan and, other residents turned out to view the sad j procession. The attendance of the publio I WM even larger than at the funeral of the j other four victims of the disaster, which tdok place on the previous Monday, the desire to pay the last sad tribute of respect to the deceased, and to extend every sympathy to their parents and relatives being widespread. Among the general public who followed the hearses were the clergy, professional men, man- ufacturers, and business men of the district scarcely one being absent. The public boards and corporate bodies of the town of Lurgan were also largely represented, and there was also a large representation of the artisans employed in connection with all local industries. It was noticeable that a very large number of private vehicles were included in the cortege, considerably over fifty being present. During the progress of the funeral cortege to the cemetery the entire business of the district was suspended, and the route was lined with the workers of the numerous factories and warehouses. As the procession passed up the town blinds were drawn, shutters lowered, and all business establishments closed. Arrived at the graveyard, the graveside service was, owing to the steady downpour of rain, conducted in the meeting-house, which was densely thronged. Touching prayers were offered up and feeling references made to the deceased by several members of the Society of Friends. At the conclusion of the service the mourners adjourned to the graveyard, and here the scene at the side of the two open graves was most impressive, and as the remains were lowered into their last resting place tears were shed by many of the onlookers. A prayer having been offered, the earth was closed in on the remains, and the last incident in con- nection with one of the saddest events in the history of the town terminated. The chief mourners were:—Messrs W J Green (lather), Jacob, Ernest, Walter, F H., and Albert Green (brothers), Jacob Green and Isaac Green (uncles), T J King, James Tustle Green, W E Armstrong, and W M Green (cousins), and many other relatives. Touching reference was made to the sad Lough Neagh calamity in all the churches of Lurgan on Sunday. A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF MISS DOROTHY GREEN. Mother, farewell I may not your sweet lips Feel pressed to mine, Or feel your clinging arms Around me twine. Alas that cannot be And so, farewell, beloved Until we meet where There is no more sea." Oh! Jesus, Lord, have pity Help and pardon me, I pray, For those who fain would Succour me are far away, And the water grows so cold. But is it water or a jasper sea ? And is the pierced hand Stretched out to me Thine own? How gloriously the morning breaks After the awful night! Just for a moment, Lord, I must my eyelids close. The wonders I behold Are far too much for me Nor can I deem them mine For all eternity. K. BROMILOW DOWNING. Rollo House, Holy wood. — 0

SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS JONES, LEOPARD INN, DENBIGH. We regret to record the death of Mrs Jones, of the Leopard Inn, Denbigh, and widow of the late Mr Alfred Jones, of Plas Clough Farm, which sad event took place very suddenly, yesterday (Thursday) morn- ing. It appears that the deceased, who was advanced in years, had been on a visit bo her sister at Henllan. In coming home, yesterday, whilst walking, she was taken suddenly ill. On reaching Henllan-street, she called at a house, and asked to be permitted to sit down, as she did not feel well. Her medical adviser, Dr Griffith W Roberts, was called ia, but before he had irrived she had succumbed, death being iue to heart disease, from which she had been suffering for some time. The greatest iympathy is extended to her only daughter, Miss Kate Jones, and her son, Mr Walter Jones, in their sad and sudden bereave- nent.

CANTEEN LICENCE FOR THE FORYD REFUSED. -At the Abergele Police Court on Saturday, before Mr J Herbert Roberts, M.P., and Major Hughes, the licensee of the Ferry Hotel, Forvd, near Rhyl, Mr W Smith applied for an occasional licence for one day for a canteen on ihe Foryd rifle range, on the occasion of the mnual shooting competition of the local volun- teer battalion. It was stated that the refresh- ments would be supplied to the rank and file Ln a marquee, while the officers would be catered for at the hotel, 300 yards away also bhat a similar licence was granted last year. Major Hughes asked whether the officers could not be provided with a separate room in the hotel, and the applicant said they could if necessary. The Bench declined to grant the application.
ABERGELE NOTES.
ABERGELE NOTES. One of the many attractions at the National Eisteddfod this week is a lot of old deeds and documents, dating back to the earlier part of the reign of Henry VIII, lent for the occasion by the Countess of Dundonald, Gwrych Castle, Abergele. At the English Presbyterian Church, Pensarn, on Suu"y evening, Mr S Arumugum, a high caste Hindu, gave an exceptionally interesting account of his conversion, life, and work amongst Pariahs, Malas, and orphans in connection with his mission in South India. He gave the credit for his conversion to the Salvation Army. Ever since that day he has been utterly disowued by his parents. Congratulations to Mr Moss Jones on winning two handsome prizes at the Old Colwyn athletic sports, on Saturday. There is no runner in North Wales that can beat Moss on level terms. For this he has to pay the penalty, because he is severely handicapped every time he competes. I cannot for the life of me understand why several responsible persons in Abergele object to religious teaching in day schools. Surely they cannot be blind to the fact that even in enlightened and religious Abergele there are scores of children who never enter a place of worship from one year's end to the other. Is it not, there- tore, a blessing that they are made ac- quainted with the gospel In the day schools? The Abergele Merry Mascots held their farewell concert at the Town Hall, on Monday evening, prior to leaving for England, where each of the troupe has secured an engagement for the winter. I wish them all a very prosperous time. They have had a glorious summer here from a weather and financial point of view, and their performances all through have been highly and far in adrrnoe of anything we have had in former years. One of the very best musical treats that Abergele has ever had was given at t'ie Town Hall, on Wednesday evening by the Rhondda United Orchestral Society of 40 performers, who went through a delightful programme, including the National Eistedd- fod tesc piece. I shall never forget as long as I live. Bravo, bechgyn bach y South I" You are a credit to musical Wales. All the shops were closed at 1 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, so that every man, woman and child should go to Rhyl to see the great cerewny of chairing the bard. [ And they went.

To-morrow's meeting should prove all the mora interesting inasmuch that a team from tho Denbigh Volunteer will contest a friendly "shoot" with a representative team of the local company. AGRICULTURAL HALL.—On Tuesday last Messrs Leathes held their usual monthly sale at the above mart, which was one of the most successful since the opening. Buyers were present from all parts, and owing to ail the English markets being much brisker the previous week a capital clearance was made at an advance of the previous sale. Fat cattle made from JE18 to X!4. Lambs were by a long way the largest show that has been seen at the mart, some 1000 changing hands at most satisfactory prices.

A MODEL MADE BY CONVICTS.
A MODEL MADE BY CONVICTS. There is a remarkable model at South Ken- sington. Made to a scale of 20ft. to lin., it shews a part of the additions to the dockyard at Chatliaiii-a great feat of engineering skill accomplished by convict labour. In fourteen years the penal prisoners excavated the docks, made 102,000,000 bricks for the retaining walls, and did an enormous amount of masonry and other work. Altogether, the enlargement is one of the greatest feats that can be put to the credit of convicts. In the model which com- memorates it there are the figures of 295 prisoners, forty superintendents and other officers, and fourteen free men. Shewn on it, moreover, are a host of operations—excavating, pile-driving, concreting, bricklaying, stone- dressing, removing earth from the area of the basins by waggons, inclined planes, barrow roads, harrow lifts, tipping waggons, ramming earth behind the walls, platelaying, &c. -as well as standing engines and locomotives and horses drawing waggons to and. from the inclined plant's. The most curious thing about the model, however, is that it was made by prisoners at Chatham. After it was completed— and an enormous amount (jf work was put into it--it was sent to the Home Office, which pre- sented it to tho South Kensingtou (now the Victoria and Albert) Museum.
