[FROM OUB OWN COMUSPONDJSNTS.7 ABERGELE. APPRECIATED.—The succesli of the sales at the AbergoLe Auction Mart continue, the enter- pritie of Messrs VV ilson-Jones and Morgan be-ng much appreciated by the farmers and stock- breeders of the district, ')BITf,'ARY.- The funeral of the late Mr W. Ellis, of Ty Maivr, took place OIL Friday after- noon ;t the C.M. Cemetery, Abergele. The tveather was exceedingly wet. Nevertheless,, a large number of persons attended, includtiig several members of the Council and of tho old Local Board. Several beautiful wreaths were bent by sympathising friends. PRESENTATION.—A gratifying proof ot the esteem in which Mr Jeremiah Williams, M.A.. the popular headmaster of Abergele County School, is held by his pupils, and of the amicible relations which exist between liim and his staff was afforded on Monday, when, at a general meeting of the staff and pupils, it was enthusiastically decided to make ham a Bchool presentation on the occasion of his ap- Sroaohing marriage to Miss Winifred Sty the, A., which ia to take plaoe on the 31st of this month. A strong' committee composed of the members of the staff and a boy and girl repre- sentative from each form was appointed to make the necessary arrangements. NOTES. The policy of the Council in providing incan- descent lights for the main street is to be ap- plauded. The difference in the light is most marked. It is to be hoped the Council will con- tinue as they havo now begun, and provide new lights for Dundonald-avenue, where they are urgently needed. rp, • • The fair was a fairly large one, and well- attended by buyers of stock. The weather being fine added much to the success of the day. • » » » A local farmer, who had fallen on evil times through no fault of his own, was the recipient Of the handsome sum of £100 last week from a well known Pensarn lady, who has long been known for bar charitable and benevolent dis- position, with words of encouragement to start once more. Such kindness as this deserves tho highest praise. A correspondent writes: Colonel Mellor has returned to Abergele after a seven months' motor tour on the Continent with some friends. The weather was magnificent the whole time, and the tour was highly successful. The gallant colonel looks extremely fit, and is now looking forward to some pheasant shooting, lanybryn ia a charming residence, and stands upon an elevation high enough for one to ob- tainia pretty view of the sea. The house it- eelf is quite modern, and is replete with every convenience an-q comfort. Colonel Mellor is not dependent upon any town Lighting supply. He has installed a small suction gas plant, which generates, by moans of a dynamo, enough eleo- tric current for the house and stables. Two days driving is about sufficient to fill the accu- mulators with a week's supply. The stablee are ro-illy delightful, and are models of corn- fort and luxury. Motors have not yet made their appearance at Tanybryn. Prejudice dies hard. but it will not be surprising i.f before long the fine carriages and horses will make way for motor cars. Indeed, so many motors call at Tanybryn that Colonel Mellor had perforce to provide his guests with a motor house The grounds are extremely spacious and very beau- tiful, and when they are completely laid out- it has taken over two years for them to develop into their present condition-they will be amongst the finest in the district.

He was at once convojwd to-hw home, and there attended to by Dr. S. Nowall Foulkes. Mr Harmainan was found to bo suffering from and bruuscs. ST. PAUL'S Y.M.S.—On Tuesday evening a smoking cooccrt waa held in the Church-Room in connection with the St. Paul's Y.M.S., when about seventy members and friends were present. Mr A. Arthur Morton, a gentleman who has deeply interested himself in tho movoment this year, presided, and Mr Chris. Hinds under- took tho duties of accompanist. The programme was a moot enjoyable one, all the artistes being at their beat. During the interval tho 'hai.'niun delivered an. addroea, in tho counso of which he urged the members to do their utmost to further the interests.o: the society. The programme was as follows:—Pianoforte duot, "Spanish Dance, Masters E. a.nd R. Fleet; song, "Tho Sweetest Flower that Blows," Mr Harding; comic song, "Bull and Bush" (encored), Mr G. Mason; re- citation, "Sal Grogan's Face," Mr Camphe.l; Bong, "Thke a. pair of Sparkling Eyes" (encored), Mr J. W. Holden; song, "The Old Umbrella" (encorod), Mr E.

ALLEGED B L UGLARY.—Between nine p.m. on Thursday and 7.15 a.m. on Friday last the premises of Mr J. W. Browno, tailor, Groes, was broken into, and the following articles re- moved therefrom: One suit of rough blue and brown mixture cloth, one troutors and vest, a, dark grey mixture overcoat, a blue and flannel jacket, a light-coiured fancy waistcoat, a black serge vest, a, pair of groy-atriped trousers, one hard folt hat, an old pair of light lace-up boots, a. pair of field gla-sses, and 4s 6d in silver and copper. Two dirty suits wore left behind, and tramps are the suspected depredators. Entry was effected through the forcing of a side window. Up to the timo of writing the police havo obta.ined no realiablo clue upon which to follow up their investigations, but it is pre- sumed that the oiIcnders were guilty of a similar robbery at Rhvl a few days previously. THE ROUGH SEAS.—As a residt of the rought seas experienced on Saturda.y, the boats and- stage at tho new sewer outfall at Rhyd Farm were In addition a diver's outfit was lost. Only one of tho boais has as yet been discovered, and this was found broken to pieces. HOCKEY.—On Sa.turday tho Bayites mixed eleven meot tho Trofnant mixed team on the Prince's Drive ground, when a good game is bound to result. SMOKER.—On Wednesday evening the annual smoker in connection with tho Constitutional Club was held in the billiard-room. There was a. good company present, when Councillor Geo. Bova.n took the chair. Tho room had been taste- fully decorated with flags. Mr A. H. Summers undertook the duties of accompanist, a.nd carried them out in his usual capable manner. Without doubt tho "abu" of the evening was Mr H. E. Walker, whose elocutionary efforts called for re- peated encores. All the various artistes were in fino form, a.nd received a fair share of ap- plause. An unusual feature was the conjuring exhibition of Pro.'F. Solra. (Mr F. Burwell), who proved himself a most capable exponent of the "deceiving art." Mr A. J. Fleet, with his usual generosity, kindly lent a gramophone, on which tho company had the pleasure of hearing Madame Patti in hor favourite-song. "Home, Sweet Home." During the interval the chairman de- livered a short speech.

LLANDDULAS. TELEPHONIC COMMUNICATION. —During the last few days canvassing has been carried on with a view to establishing a telephone exchange in the village. The result is not yet known, but we are given to understand that the quarry owners arc prepared to avail themselves of the facilities. NEW STATIONMASTER.—Mr Noble, junr., son of Mr J. V. Noble, the stationmaster at Colwyn Bay, has been appointed to tho post of stationmaster. THE LIFEBOAT.—During Saturday's storm the lifeboat crew were on the alert lest their services might be required. A schooner out in the bay appeared to be in distress, but luckily did not require the lifeboat. FUNERAL.—The funeral took place on Mon- day of Mr Morris Griffiths, late of Heinvvs. De- ceased, who was 67 years years of age, was for many years in charge of tho South Stack Light- house, at Holyhead, and retired gome years ago. He afterwards took up an appointment at the o!d telegraph station, Llysfaen, under the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board. Deceased took great interest in signalling and telegraphing, and at one time published a book dealing with the sub- ject.

OLD COLWYN. "AN INTOLERABLE NUISANCE."— "Nemo" writes at considerable length protest- ing against "the intolerable nuisance" caused by persona sailing tickcts for bazaars and raffles, and he predicts a wooful fate for these institutions unless their practioe is "cut short. We are always to receive letters from correspondents, but as our space is limited we would particularly impress upon the necessity of being brief and to the poinb. WEDDING. — A wedding took place at St. Catherine's Church, Old Colwyn. on Wednesday, last week, the contracting parties being Mr P. Lunt. East Lynne, Colwyn Bay, and Miss M. J. Morris, Rhydwen IIouso, Old Colwyn. Tho bride was becomingly dressed in a grey cloth costume, and was attended by her sister (Miss S. E. Morris, Penmaenmawr) as bridesmaid. Mr H. W. S. Morris, of Oldham, attended the bride- groom as best man. The service was conducted by the Rev. E T. Richards, in the unavoidable absence of the vicar. On the bridal party leaving the ohurch they were deluged with rice and con- fetti. They afterwards drove to Abergele, the wedding breakfast being laid out for them at the George and Dragon Hotel by Mr and Mrs Williams, of the Harp, the bride's cousins. The happy pair left by the two o'clock train for their honeymoon. The wedding presents were very numerous.

LLANGERNIEW. THANKSGIVING SERVICES. The Pandy Tudor C.M. congregation held their annual thanksgiving services on Monday. TEMPERANCE. — A series of temperance moating* for the winter season has just been arranged. Thoy are held under the joint aus- pioes of tho Baptist and Calvinistic Methodiet denominations of the district. The first meet- ing of th series is to bo held next Saturday evening, when the Rev. R. Rowlands (C.M.), Llnnrwst, is expected to give an address. PROPOSED NEW C.M. CHAPELS. — This stems to be an interesting feature of the C.M. in the Llangerniew district. The neighbour- ing C.M. chapel at Croesengan has been ex- tensively repaired, and the now chapel was lately opened, when preaching meetiing3 were held. There is also a rumour that the neigh- bouring village of Llansannan is to have a new 0.1\1 chapel, to be known as the "Memorial Chapel," in honour of the late Rev. Henry Rees. of Liverpool, who was a native of the place. At Pandy Tudur again the friends of the C.M. chapel have begun in earnest with their new buildings. Tho proposal to proceed with the new C.M. chape! at Llangerniew has been de- ferred tip next spring for special reasons. And, in spiLe of opposition, tho C.M. congregation are in no way discouraged, but are rather con- fident of erecting an edifice worthy of the con- nexion, as soon as possible.

HOLYWELL. THE NEW POSTMASTER.—The Postmaster- General has conferred the appointment of Post- master of Holywell upon Mr J. Pritchard, Post- master of Tredegar, South Wales. SEVERE HAILSTORM. — From five to six o'clock on Saturday Holywell, lid ill the pa.rt of Flintshire along the Halkyn Mountains, was visited by a hail and snow- storm of remarkabfe severity. Hailstones larger than peas fell for a long time, and were succeeded by half melted snow. The hail and snow covered the ground fully half an inch deep, and in places drifted in heaps. Flower gardens and fruit trees suffered severely bv the storm. BIG MUSHliOOM CROP. — During the past week enormous crops of mushrooms have been gathered in the neighbourhood of Holywell. The supply b&s far exceeded the local demand, and nightly cartloads have been sent off by local greengrocers to the Liverpool and Manchester markets. The greatest number have been obtained in the Caerwvs district. This profusion of mush- rooms has probably been caused by the moist and humid v/eatber which prevailed in the earlier part of the week.

Conway Board of Conserva- tors. NET FISHERMEN'S TIME LIMIT. SUGGESTED EXTENSION OF THE SEASON. (From Our Reporter). Mr O. Isgocd Jones, J.P., presided over a meeting of this Board at the Station Hotel, Llandudno Junction, on Wednesday afternoon. There were also present: Mr John Blackwall, Mr Richard Conway, Mr Petor Mclntyre, Mr David Hughes (Talv- bont), with the Clerk (Mr C. T. Allard), and the chief Water Bailiff (Mr MoS133 Ro- berts). DEFERRED. At the outsat tho Chairman intimated that the first item on the agenda was the selection of a successor to Mr Brandreth, as vice-chairman of the Board, and as a member of the Watch Committee, and in view of the sparso attendance he suggested that the question be daferred till the annual meeting in January. This suggestion was agreed to. WATER BAILIFF'S REPORT. The Chief Water Bailiff reported that the number of different hocncea examined by the bailiffs during the season was ü3û, an increase of five as compared with last year. Of these there were 516 trout, 120 soa- soii6, and 120 "daiiies." Tho number of net weir and basket lire noes inspected was 10. Referring to the net and weir fishing the Bailiff stated the season had been a poor one for netting, as the floods during May, June, and August carried the fish over tho nets to the upper portion of the district. The Rhos Bay weir, and Tanr--Ilt basket fishing had, however, proved more success- ful. The thre-a biggest salmon caught were those by net-fishormen Thomas Lloyd, Id- wal Fielding, and James Craven, the re- spective weights being 28, 2o £ and 19 lbs. The trout rod fishing had been very good on the whole, "baskets" averaging between 8 and 10 Iba. being taken in the rivers Con- way. Llugwy, Penmachno, and the Crar- nant Lake. Owing to the exceptionally dry weather, and the consequent low water the season for salmon rod fishing had been a "rather poor one." There was a goocl num- ber of iish in the rivers, but they proved slow to take bait, excepting in the upper reaches of the Conway. and the lower part of the L'.edr, where the catches had been more satisfactory, especially during May, June, and October. Tho biggest salmon caught by rod in the Conway were captured by Messrs E. Rothvrell, F. Parry, and T. R. Ho:-ton, the respective weights of which were 23. 18, and 171bs. The heaviest fish oaught in the Lledr weighed 19, 17, and 121bs., and were oaught by D. Jones and Thomas Roberts. The Bailiff further reported that the sewage pipes loading into the Guffin river against which complaints had been made at the last Board meeting, had been removed. A MONSTRE BROWN TROUT. The Chairman obsecred that, taking everything into consideration, the season had proved as successful in the Conway district as in any of the other fishery dis- trict's .TliorD was one fact worthy of at- tention. and that was the capture of a re- markable brown trout by Mr A. Halstead, of Llandudno, in tho Conway river. The fish weighed seven pounds—the biggest he (the Chairman) had ever heard or read of. He thought the report was a very satisfac- tory one on the whole. NO POACHING. In reply to the Chairman, the Bailiff said there were no signs of poachers at pre- sent. He and his subordinates had been putting in numerous night watches, but they had no cases to report. NO AMERICAN FISH FOR BRITISH WATERS. The Board of Agriculture having written asking the Board's opinion upon a suggestion that the American shad ("alosa sapijis- sima") be introduoad into British waters, the Board now decided to reply stating they believed the introduction of the American fish would prove harmful to the salmon and trout fisheries in this country. MR McINTYRE'S MOTION WITH- DRAWN. The following notice of motion stood in the name of Mr Peter Mclntyre: "That the annual close season for fishing for saliiiori by rod and line shall commence on tlie 1st November, and terminate on the 31st March, both inclusive." Mr Mclntyre now asked the Board's consent to withdraw tho motion inasmuch as he had sinoe found that the netters were also applying for a fort- night's extension of tin;), which, in his opinion, would be far more injurious to fish- ing than to leave matters as they stood. There was a great deal too much net salmon fishing in the rivers of this :d other coun- tries at present. While in Norwav with Mr Conway recently lie had made inquiries concerning the salmon fishing there, and gentlemen who had been in the habit of fishing every year in Norwegian waters as- sured them that the sport had been very bad this year, a fact which they attributed mainly to the over-netting of the river estuaries. The same cau accounted for the depreciation of the'fishing in this coun- try. He was constrained to ask the Board's consent to withdraw the motion in his name in view of the danger that the net- fishing season would at the same time be prolonged. The Chairman: Now that Mr Mclntyre has aoted in this manner, I hone Mr Hughes, who has given notice of motion for the lengthening of tlie net-fishing season, will withdraw his motion. Mr Hughes: I can't withdraw it, sir. The Chairman: At any rate, I am afraid we cannot deal regularly with it to-day. Mr Mclntyre's request was thereupon ac- ceded to. NET FISHERMEN ASK FOR AN EX- TENSION OF TIME. Mr David Hughes, who represents the net fishermen on the Board, then moved the extension of the net fishing season by four- teen days. Mr Blackwall interposed with a question as to whether Mr Hughes had given the re- quired fourteen days' notice of his motion. The Chairman No. The Clerk: If you adopted his motion to- day it would, of oourse, have to be brought up again for confirmation as it is not quite regular. Proceeding, Mr Hughes said the recent net fishing season had been an unusually poor one. Mr Craven, of Conway, one of the net fishermen, assured him he would be £ 30 out of pocket at tihe close of the neriod, and that he (Mr Craven) was willing to dis- pose of his nets to anyone who oared to give any reasonable nrice for them. The net fishermen felt there was a real necessity for the extension suggested. Mr Blackwall: It is a funny thin"- that Mr Craven takes out his JE5 licence every year when he says lie loses by it. Mr Mclntyre pointed out that Mr Wm. Jones, who had preceded Mr Hughes as the fishermen's representative on the Board, had not objected to the old order of things. Mr Hughes replied that that was the reason why lie (the speaker) hod been sent to represent the fishermen in the plaoe of Mr Jones. The Ohairman remarked that he was afraid, if the Board were to decide to re- arrange matters once more, the Board of Agriculture would be tempted to regard their administration in a peculiar light. Mr Hughes found no one to second his motion, and, at his request, it was even- tually resolved to adjourn the matter till the next ordinary meeting of the Board.

PENMACHMO. ANNUAL STOCK SALE. Last Saturday Messrs Blackwall, Hayes and Co., Llanrtvst, con- ducted their third annual sale of stock.' etc., and it turned out to bo a. great success, buyers being plentiful. Mountain ewes made from 16s to 24s, and mountain wethers and lambs from 14s to 21s. All the mountain cattle found ready purchasers: Cows and heifers in calf brought £10 to E13, store cattlo £ 7 10s to JM 10s, and yearlings from C5 to £ 7.

The Great Orme Golf Club. ANNUAL MEETING AND DINNER. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. Tlie first annual meeting and dinner of the Great Ormc Golf Club, of which Lord Mostyn is the president, was held at the Empire Hotel, Llandudno, on Wednesday evening, when Mr James Haworth presided over a largo, and representative gathering. Clooe upon sixty .persons sat down to par- take of a sumptuous repast, which was ex- cellently catered for by Mr and Mrs Hall. Tlie following was the menu Julienne. Ox Tail (Thick). Fish. Boiled Turbot. Shrimp Sauce. Entrees. Mutton Outlets and Spinach. Joints. Roast Beef. Horse Radish Sauce. 114Dast Turkey. Sausages. Bread Sauce. Potatoes. French Beans. Cauliflowers. Sweets. TriHM. Jellies. Mixed Pastries. Lemon and Raspberry Sponges. Clioese and Biscuits. Dessert. Mr Harry Parker, the popular secretary of t:ie club, in presenting the annual report said that the membership waA increasing, especially the lady members. During tHe pasb year they had iiiiia special competi- tions and ten monthly medal competitions. Tiie interest taken in the club by the tradesman of Llandudno was evinced by their wiiiingness to present prizes for the various co,iilkitit;oiis. He (Mr Parker) had never met with a refusal. With regard to the links they were iuproving dailv. thanks to the interest taken by their professional, Mr Joseph. In conclusion, Mr Parker said that lie wished to thank Mr Maodonald and his manager Mr CrocUatt for their great kindness in providing a room for the club on the Orme. He also desired to thank their chairman, Mr Haworth, for the active part he had taken in the club. Mr Parkor, in the absence of the trea- surer, also presented, the treasurer's re- port which showed a balanoo on the risrht side of 03 Gd. The report was adopted. LORD MOSTYN'S PRIZE. The Chairman announced that Lord Mos- tyn had pre-sentod a valuable gold chain to bo oompetcd for during the coming winter. The competitions would commence on Saturday. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. 'The following officials were re-elected: President, Lord Mostyn: Chairman, Mr James Haworth; treasurer, Mr Walter Wood. The Ohairman, in proposing the re-elec- tion of Mr Harry Parker as secretary of the club, said that Mr Parker had proved an ideal secretary :in fact, he was convinced that the club would never have been form- ed had it not been for the untiring efforts of Mr Parker. He suggested that a small committee should be appointed with a view of recognising in some tangible form Mr Parker's services. Mr Harry Crockatt seconded, and it was carried with acclamation. A capital musical programme was nro-' vided. Miss Eflie Cooper and Mr Jack Roberts presided at the piano, and amongst the vocalists was the veteran singer, Mr Denbigh Cooper. Mr Hallmark gave the toast of the "Great Orme Golf Club." which lie said had oome to stay. Other toasts followed, and a most enjoy- able evening was spent.

THE C.'O I, IV YN BAV l'I? A i'll QUESTION. A RESIDENTS WARNING. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer"). Sir,—I understand that the Colwyn Bay Urban District Council on Tuesday week resolved that the General Purposes Com- mittee should consider the advisability of providing serviocrs of trams or motor oars along the Promenade. rz I very greatly regret that such a project should bo contemplated. At present the Promenade affords a delightful resort, where one can breathe the pure air, unpolu ted by smoke or unple.a.sant odours. Es- tabiiyii a tram or motor car service, and the quietude of the Promenade will be destroy- od: its beauty disfigured by tram rails or wires, or tho fresh air and ozone from the sea will be vitiated by the fumes of petrol. Is there any necessity tor this ? Is the de- sire of the inhabitants of Old Colwyn to get to Rhos, or of those of Rhos to get to Old Oolwyn so constant and great; or the distanoo between the two places and Col- wyn Bay so fatiguing as to warrant the destruction of the charm of the Promenade. I would urge upon the tradesmen of Cov'vvyn Bay to give their mature considera- tion to the question, as it affects them- selves. By no effort can large numbers of visitors be attracted here in the winter and the trade of the place is then almost en- tirely dependent upon the resident popu- lation. Lot this then be cultivated, and nothing done to diminish it. The "season" extends only from Juno to September, whilst the requirements and therefore the expenditure of the residnts continue the whole year. A good "season" of four months would not compensate for stagna- tion of trade during the other eight. At Colwyn Bay, at Old Colwyn, and at Rhos, the number of residents is ranidlv in- creasing. Let us avoid anything which would check the increase! It is, it appears to me, rather in the direction of the pro- vision of increased means of recreation, such as cricket, tennis, hockey, and bowls, and in the erection of public sea-baths than in the establishment of tramways and motor 'bus services, that we must look for the permanent improvement and prosperity of our charming watering-place.—I am,, etc.,
