There is one thing left to complete, and that is planting a few trees and placing seats; by so doing the visitors and: resid'ents would ap- preciate the 00011, during the rough days n ,summer and in the winter months. NICI dbulbt iafter this minor improvement, the Council will turn their attention to Sea-road and supply more seats Ctf a modiern type, and after that the sea front or promenade will come in. for its share by having a low walll erected' along the sea shore to keep tack the ever increasing amount of stones from encroach-'ng rfurtheT on the walk, and. by completing the drive from, the station, to the Farm. The' lamps new1 being fixed will acid further to the attractions of the place. The town, has no doubt been neglected as regards public cr private improvements, but they are waking up to the fact that if Colwyn Bay can spend thousands, they at least ought to expend a few hundiredte in the same good cause, .and' that the visitor is, after all, worth considering.

A BIG SEA.—The storm, of IN-ionday night gave, OUT visitors a rare opportunity of witness- ing a very uncommon sight, and a good per- centage of them took advantage of the chance, despite the lateness of the hour. About mid- night there- was one of the finest seas running that has' been seen her for many years, especi- ally at this period of the- year. Half-a-gale of wind blew from the- north-east. Fortunately, the Great Orme's Head checked the full fcrce of it, but there was sufficient left to produce a wonderful scenic effect upon a tide of nearly twenty-feet high. The waves repeatedly dashed over the sea wall on to the railway, while, at times, their feathery tips flew at least fifteen feet higher than the sea wall and! parapet along the beach. In fact, the spray sometimes reached the residences on the Promenade. Happily, no material damage was done, the waves only s,hiftin,g a few tons of the further in shore.
