THE LATE KING AND HOWELL'S SCHOOL. In the House of Lords on Tuesday the Lord Steward read his late Majesty's answer to the address moved by the Bishop of St Asaph in the House of Lords on April 26bh (which appeared in our issue of April 30th) praying that the King would withhold his assent to the scheme finally approved by the Board of Edu- cation with regard to the future of Howell's School, Denbigh. The message was in the following terms:—"I have received your iddress praying that I will withhold my assent to the scheme under the Welsh Intermediate Education Acts which relates to the Denbigh ihare of Howell's Charity for Girls' Schools in Wales. I will comply with your advice." NEW LAY READER FOR GREEN MISSION. Mr J Downing, of Denbigh, who holds the license of the Bishop of Sb Asaph as a lay reader, has been appointed in that capacity by the Rector of Trefnant, for the new Mission room at the Green. Mr Downing has for nine years ministered as a lay reader with great! I success under tne Sector of Cefn, and has had charge of the district and mission room of Sinan, the people of whioh will we know be very sorry indeed to lo3e his services which have been so rogularly and faithfully per- formed. We feel sure he will be equally successful at the Green, and that acting under the supervision of the Rector of Trefnant he will do excellent work for the people of the iistrict, who have hitherto not had the services jf the Church "brought to their own doors, is is now the case. We notice from our adver- have been so rogularly and faithfully per- formed. We feel sure he will be equally successful at the Green, and that acting under bhe supervision of the Rector of Trefnant he will do excellent work for the people of the iistrict, who have hitherto not had the services jf the Church "brought to their own doors," is is now the case. We notice from our adver- tising columns that a new lay reader, Welsh, is needed for Sinan.

PROCLAIMING THE I NEW KING I AT DENBIGH. E Denbigh being the capital of the county and the ancient borough which has played so great a part in the history of the country and famed in history for its loyalty to the throne, as illustrated by the never conquered defence of the Old Castle as a loyalist stronghold, in the days of King Charles and Cromwell, it was but fitting that it should be one of the few chose a places for the proclamation of the new King. On Monday afternoon, the High Sheriff of Denbighshire (Godfrey Fitzhugh, Esq., ot Plas Power, Wrexham), accompanied by the Under-Sheriff (Mr J Parry Jones, Denbigh), met at the Council Chamber, and were joined by the Mayor of Denbigh (Alderman J Humphrey Jones), in his robes and chain of office, the Aldermen, Councillors, Magistrates, and the Corporate Officials. They then proceeded to the Town Cross/where the High Sheriff read the Proclamation of King George the Fifth. As the procession marched from the Town Hall to the Cross, the buglers of the Denbigh band announced their approach, and as the Town Hall clock struck the hour of three, the High Sheriff read the PROCLAMATION as follows II WHEREAS it has pleased Almighty God to call to His Mercy our late Sovereign Lord King Edward the Seventh, of Blessed and G lorious Memory, by whose Decease the Imperial Crewn of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland is solely and rightfully come to the High and Mighty Prince George Frederick Ernest Albert: We, therefore, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of thia Realm, being here assisted with these of His late Majesty's Privy Council, with Numbers of other Principal Gentlemen of Quality, with the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Citisons of London, do now hereby, with one Voice and Consent of Tongue and Heart, publish and proclaim, Tiiat the High and Mighty Prince George Frederick Ernest Albert is now, by the Death of our late Sovereign of Happy Memory, become our only lawful and rightful Liege Lord George the Fifth by the Grace of God, King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and of the British Dominions Beyond the Seas, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India: To whom we do acknowledge all Faith and constant Obedience, with all hearty and humble Affection beseeching God, by whom Kings and Queens do reign, to bless the Royal Prince George the Fifth with long and happy years to reign over Us. Given at the Court at St James's, this seventh day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and ten. ten. I "GOD SAVE THE KING." Following the declaration of God Save the King by the High Sheriff, the Mayor as representing the borough and its burgesses also repeated the loyal de- claration—" God Save the King." Immediately the proclamation had been read the band played" God Save the King," in which the huge concourse joined and the Town Hall flag, which was at half- mast, was raised in honour of the new King, but soon afterwards lowered to the half-mast in memory of the late King. There was an enormous crowd present, and the Square presented a never-to-be forgotten sight. The detachment of the Denbighshire (Hussars) Yeomanry, in command of Capt E W Griffith, Major Butcher, R.S.M. E Bruton, S.S.M. A E Aries, and ex-Qaarter Master Sergt D Williams lined one aide of the Square, on the other aide the D Co. 4th Batt. Royal Welch Fusiliers, in command of Capt Clough, Lieut G Parry Jones, and Sergt Instructor J Pays, and which in- cluded several of the former members of the Company, was lined up. The top of oie Square was lined with the Denbigh Fire Brigade, in command of Capt J| Morris Davies, Liauts Roger Pryce and JI P :Joyce. In the centre the Denbigh Band, in charge of Bandmaster C M Humphreys, were formed up ready to strike up the National Anthem immediately the new King was proclaimed. The pupils of the Howell's School, the pupils of the County School, and the ele- mentary schools were marched up to the square and lined up round the Cross in charge of their respective teaehers. Col Ward, of the Denbighshire B (Hussars) Yeomanry, was in command of the whole arrangements. H Those in attendance on the High Sheriff, in addition to the Upder-Sheriffi and the Mayor, were the deputy mayorB (Alderman J3oaz Jones), the ex-mayorB (Alderman James Hughes), Alderman|l Robert Owen, the Mayor's auditor (Coun- cillor T Lloyd Jones), Councillors A Lloyd Jones, S Lunt Griffiths, R Lloyd, J Edgar, with the town clerk I (Mr J Parry Jones), the deputy town clerk (Mr Edward Parry), the medical officor of health (Dr W Collins Lewis), the borough jarchivist (Mr A Foulkes Roberts), the borough surveyor (Mr John Davies), the borough inspector (Mr H Lee' Jones), the borough treasurer (Mr W Mettellus Jones), the borough rate collector (Mr W Price), the borough auditors (Messrs Abel Anwyl and J D health (Dr W Collins Lewis), the borough archivist (Mr A Foulkes Roberts), the borough surveyor (Mr John Davies), the borough inspector (Mr H Lee Jones), the borough treasurer (Mr W Mettellus Jones), the borough rate collector (Mr W Price), the borough auditors (Messrs Abel Anwyl and J D Lewis), and the town orier (Mr W Roberts), in his robes, and the mace bearers (Messrs Meyrick Evans and Owen Evans). Councillor Clough and Councillor J Morns Davies were also present, with the Territorials and Brigade. | (Councillor C Cottom, who was away from town, was, much to his regret, prevented from being present-several other members and principal residents were unavoidably absent the event had to be fixed rather hurriedly, so that there was little time to give notice of it). There were also present :-The Coroner for West Denbighshire (Mr Robert Davies), and the following magistrates :— Col Mesham, Col Heaton, Capt Cole, Mr IW D W Griffith, Mr J D W Griffith, Dr David Lloyd, also tha Rector of Denbigh (the Rev T Redfern, M.A.), Lady Roberti (BryDgwenallt), Lady Billson (L1»0- rhaiadr Hall), and many of the re&idefltl and tradesmen of the town.

King George's Message to His Parliament. In Parliament the Premier went beyond the bar when his name was called by Emmott, Mr Asquith announcing that b. had a message from the King, signed by his own hand, and on advancing to the table he read the message as follows The King knows that the Hou" of Commons shares in the profound and sudden sorrow that has failed upon his Majesty by the death of hiS Majesty's father, the late King, and that the House entertains a true sonso of the loss which his Majesty and the nation has sustained by this mourn- ful event. King Edward's care f0* the welfare of his country and of biO people, his prudent guidance of affairs, unremitting attendance to public duty during his illustrion* reign, his simple courage in pain and danger, will long be held in honofl* by his subjects at home and beyond the seas. Addresses of sympathy and homage were agreed to on the motion of the Premier, seconded by Mr Balfour, aDd supported by Mr Enoch Edwards (leadet of the Labour party).

I His Late Majesty's Visit to the Vale of Clwyd. His Majesty, when Prince of Walel, made more than one visit to the immediate neighbourhood. A memorable visit Í8 within the recollections of Ruthin, Den- bigh, and Vale of Clwyd residents, to Mt and Mrs Cornwallis West at Ruthin Castle, when he had a great reception- He also, aocompanied by the Prineess ot I Wales, visited Rhyl speoially for the par- > pose of laying the foundation stones of the k Royal Alexandra Hospital (subsequently pened by the preaent King and Queen)* As King his Majesty paid one visit to Wales on July 21st, 1904, when he opened A1?1.rminSham Water Works at Rhayader.
