Religious Disagreement at Llandudno Junction. CHAPEL DEACONS RESIGN. For wme time past considerable friction i said to have existed between members of the Pensarn Galvmistio Methodist Chapel, Lla; idudno Junction. Feeling has at times run high, and heated debates are stated to have been frequent. For several years the Rev. J. D. Owen, of Glan Conway, officia- ted as pastor of the ohapels at the Junction and Glan Conway, and during that time Mr Owen's ministry was extremely snooess- ful. About 18 months ago hi severed his connection with these places of worship, much to the regret of his members, and a committee, consisting of the four deacons Was a^nointed to take the necessary teps to procure a new pastor. The Rev. T. 0. Jones, of Yspytty, was communicated with, and his name was eventually brought be- fore the members of the chapel. His ap- pointment, however, was not ratified owing to divergent views being held by the mem- bers. Eventually the question was referred to the Vale of Conway Monthly Meeting for their consideration, the reeult of which was that the four deacons in question, Messrs Wm. Williams, Wm. Owen, Richard Roberts, and Robert Williams resigned. At present we understand that the chapel is without elders. We also understand that tho Monthly Meeting appointed the Rev. Wm. Jones, Mr Wm. Edwards, Conway, and Mr Priae Williams. Colwyn. to be responsi- ble the conduct of the cause at Pen- Jam Chapel, and during the past six months these gentlemen have faithfully car- a out the duties entrusted to them. On Wednesday evening a special meeting of the chttpol members was held at Pensarn, under the presidency of the Rev. Lewis Wil- liams, Oohvyn Bay, to consider the advisa- bility of remunerating the Rev. Wm. Jones for his servioes. Mr Wm. Williams, Glan- morla. one of the ex-deacons, proposed tha.t & oertain amount be given to Mr Jones,and the Chairman deolared it carried. A prominent member of the Pensarn Ohapel, Interview by our reporter. stated that the members fully appreciated the valuable servioes rendered by the Rev. Wm. Jones, but sonne of the members Questioned very much whether he was entitled to the amount, seeing that he was devoting a por- tion of his time to the Glan Conway Chapel. What they really wanted at the Junction was a minister of their own, and he thonght the initial mistake was made in not securing the entire services of the Rev. T. 0. Jones, of Yspytty. He was 8fraid that the dissensions anionsome of tie members proved a great detriment to the Methodist cause at the Junotion, a.nd TH-lKat be the means of putting back the proposal of erecting a new Methodist ohapel.

The Church Defence League.f
The Church Defence League. f MEETING AT COLWYr BAY. SPEECH BY REV. J. HAMER LEWIS. St. Paul's Church Room, Colwyn Pay, was well filled <n Tuesday evening, when a Church Defencc meeting was held, under the auspices of the Young Men's Society. The chair occupied by Mr H. F. Ashbv, who, in the course of a well spoken littlo spocch, explained that the object of the meet- ing was to hear an address by the Rev. J. Hamer Lewis, M.A., of St. Asaph, on "Why I am a Churchman. The question was a burning otne, and the present was a time of crisis in the history of the Church. He urged Churchmen generally to study their petition thoroughly ns they must realise tho true ca- sein why ihey were Churchmen. Havmg suc- ceeded in that they should b well able to take up a told stand against those who were trying to 1 ndormine tho coml3t.itutJioll of the Church to shicb they owed so much (hear, hear). A hearty reception was accorded the Rev. J. Hamer Lewis, who followed- Speaking with telling emphasis and real power, Mr Lewis dealt with Iiis subject in a most eonvijioing manner. He said there were three hundred different denominations itn this country, and each of them claimod to be the only true body of" Christians. Under the circumstances, it was necessary vhat a Churchman should be able to give uiixlemaole reasons why he wa,6 himself of that faith. Proceeding the speaker dealt with the meancng of the word sect." Ac- cording to vhe original Latiu there were two roots, from ether of which the word could have been derived. One meant "to follow," and the other "to cut off." Therefore, the word "sect" might be legitimately given the senso of "to cut off"—people who had been "cut off" from the original Church. Be the meaning what it might, however, they must all real;so that there was a considerable diue-re ID be- tween a eect and the Church. Dealing Nith tho constitution of the Church, Mr Lewis sad they could trace its history to the Day of ihe Pentecost. It was true that some people asked them "Where was the Church before the Reformation?" To that his repl" was "Where was your face before it was washed?" laughter)- That, as a matter of fact, expressed truly tho position of t.he Church at that time (applause). The speaker then went "n to deal with the Church's inde- pendence, its doctrines, a.nd its scope, conclud- ing an eloquent address with the remark that constancy, c'iI1siil>t.ency. and service Werû the hall-marks of a good Churchma;11.. On the motion cf Mr Groome, seconded by tho Rev. Reci?-Morrtis, the lecturer and the Chairman ware cordially thanked at the close.
SUCCESSFUL MEETING AT LLANDUDNO…
SUCCESSFUL MEETING AT LLAN- DUDNO JUNCTION. At the National Schools (Pensarn), Llandudno Junction, on Monday evening, a very success- ful social gathering of the members of the local branch of the Church Defence League was held. During the earlier part of the proceedings, light refreshments were served under the super- vision of Mrs Clwycl Griffith and Miss Higgins, assisted by Mrs Ellis, Miss Davics (Rectory), Etta Wood (Pabo), Mrs Lunn, Mrs Finney, Mrs McClay, Messrs W. Robertson, Chas. Ross, Tom Jones, Fletcher, McClay. Jones, etc. Mr H. Bridge Roberts, organist of Conway Parish Ohurch, presided at the piano, a.nd played pleas- ing selections during the first hour. THE GENERAL MEETING. The general meeting opened with the singing of the hymn "The Church's One Foundation." The Rector presided, and was supported by Mr Llewelyn Lloyd, Canon Trevor Owen (Bodel- wyddan). the Rev. D. J. Davies (Conway), the Hev. M E. Alban (Llandudno Junction), Mr Mackinlev Davies, Mr W. Robertson (chairman of the local committee), and Mr Chas. Ross (secretary). The Rector, in his opening remarks, said that branches of the league were now being formed throughout the diocese. Church defence was not antagonistic to any religious sect; it was not de- fiance but defence, and branches established in the different parishes could unite for the pur- pose of defending the interests of their ancient Church (cheers). Members had enrolled for two reasons: Firstly, they undertook to learn all about the Church, and strengthen her powers to perform good work; and secondly, to interest their neighbours in the work of the Church. The object was not to attack anyone else nor to interfere with the work of other denomina- tions. He was proud to see so many present that night, which was ample proof of the strength of the Church in the parish (hear, hear). It waa very different when he first camo to the parish twenty years ago. The work of organising the local branch of the Church De- fence League had been entrusted to the railway- men of the district, who were performing their duties admirably. THE CHURCH COMMISSION. Mr Llewolyn Lloyd, who was accorded a cor- dial reception, referred to the Church Commis- sion, and said that although the Commission was no called for by the Church, and had been ap- pointed .by the present Government, Churchmen could take courage, and feel sure they would have nothing to be ashamed of when the report was issued (cheers). The President of the Com- mission was a Welshman and a Nationalist, and the manner in which he had treated some of the other members of the Commission, who wore evidently not experienced in tho procedure of law, was highly amusing, to ffiY the least. It was a case of a Welshman sitting on Welshmen (laughter). Mr Lloyd then referred to an ad- dress by the Bishop of St. Asaph on Church Defence, and sa.id that he looked upon Bishop Edwards as the Lord Roberts of the Episcopal Bench (cheers). He paid a high tribute to the work of the Church in the parish of Liangws- tenin. Mr Llojtl then ^avo a very interesting history of the Church in Wales, "referring in partioular to the parish of Llangwstenin. The history of the Church in that parish extended over 1500 years, and after his research into its history he had become prouder of the dear old Church than ever. Mr Lloyd's address was attentively listened to by an appreciative audience, and at the con- clusion, a hearty vote of tha.nks was accorded him upon the proposition of Mr Mackinlev Da- vies, seconded by Mr Robertson, who also pro- posed a. voto of thanks to the Rector for pre- siding. A most interesting and enjoyable even- ing conoluded with the singing of the hymn "0, God, our Help in ages past.
MEETING AT LLANDDULA5.
MEETING AT LLANDDULA5. STRIKING SPEECH BY MR CUTHBERT SMITH. On Friday evening a most successful meeting in connection with tho local branch of the Church Defence League was held in the Na- tional Schools. Dr. Elliott, Tamrallt Hall, pre- sided. In (paning the proceedings, the Chair- man read a Letter from the Rector apologising for his absence owing to illness, and after a few well ahosen remarks on the subject of the meeting, he introduced Mr F. Cuthbert Smit-h, Ba.r.rÍs.tor-8it- "ia.w, of tihe Northern Circuit, a. well-known Liverpool Churchman, as the first speaker. Mr Cuthbert Smith, on rising, said The Rector in his letter has just told uá that the Church is now passing through a crisis. There have been mamy onsea ion the past, but the present is a most serious one- The Church's enemies attack on ovary side. First we have had tho Education Bill, and now a Disestablishment Bill is, so to peak, in the air. This is the first meeting, 1 understand, of your Defcnce league iai dve parish. Defence of what? The Church—the Church of England; the Welsh Ohuroh is a part of the Church of England. She is a Divine Society. Other bodies, s.uch as Methodism, Congmga.tionali8m, Calvinism, etc., are the creation of main. The Churoh of England is T art of that Divime Society, the Holy Catholic Church, founded by the Blessed Lord Himlf. He gave Hi.s Commission to me Apostlea, whose successors in office the Bishops 11.116. he Church is the Divinely ap- poiltlJtèå teacher. The Church existed for some Centuries before the Bible, as wo have it-, was given to the World It was the Church which gave tthe Bible. The Church's Mission is to teach; the Bible to prove. Christianity found a footing on this island in very early times. The Saxons drove baok the Britone to Wales and Cornwall. S. Augustine and his^^Jgllowers re-Christianised Southern England, with the Northumbria Kings, one of whom was S. Oswald—who had owed their conversion to Celtic missiona/ries—founded the Church, which is atitaoked to-day. Our opponents suggest that the State took the Churoh under its wing and. helped it. This Is untrue ajid unhietorical. The Churoh, 8S we kmow iti. with its two pro- vinces of Cantor bfury and York and many of the present bishoprics was a working institu- tion 150 years before England was a kingdom. It was the same organised whole ae It Is to-day when the Kings of the Saxon Heptarohy were quarrelling amongst themselves THE OHURCH MOTHER. The Chikroh is the mother: the State the daughter. It is not for the daughter to oast the mother off though it may well be that If the State continues to persecute the Church she may In self-defence refuse to reoogniso the te. Suoh i severance coming from herself, tihough perhaps good for the Churoh would be bad for the State. Ou.r objection is to thatt severanoe being carnied out by those who are anxious to navf the Church. It. is not dises- tablishment is wanted by our opponents. l Any hold tho State haa now over the Church is ect-tfrvly uitermal to the latter. Since the wammcnt of t1\ Act of Uniformity the fcetah- liishment, if .t exists, hurts no one outside the I' Church. What is aimed at is disendowmcnt. Tho object, f our foes is spoil. This is as t much robbery as the so-called Education Bit!. Disendowment wont, as many people think, get rid of the payment of tithes. The tithe is a charge issuing out of the land, and will havo to bo pa.:d many event (applause).
A LIVING BODY.
A LIVING BODY. Tho Rev. T. Jones, vicar of Abergele, spoke in Welsh, also dealt with the historical aspect- of the question. lie pointed out, too, how tho Church had kept burning the light of religious knowledge centuries before the various modern denominations appeared ûU: the sceaie, and he proceeded to doa] in an exhaustive manner with their origin a.nd history of these denominations. The Church, he said, had fought uhe battle of civil freedom in the days of King John. To Bishop Morgan the nation ii indebted for the translation of the Biblo 'nto Welsh. The speaker concluded by proving fiom statistics that the Church in Wales of to-day is a living body 0ngagcd in great activities with a view to the betterment of the nation. Mr C. P. Banks, Arnold House, in a capital speech, proposed a vote of thanks to tho spoakers. This was seconded by Mr J. Inglis Old Gwyrch, and carried unanimously. A vote of thanks to the Chairman terminated the meeting. The Rev. J. W. Thomas, assistant curate, had charge of the arrangements.
Land Tenure Bill.
Land Tenure Bill. REPRESENTATIVE OPINION. Should the Land Tenure Bill ever become law, which few people think is probable, two incidents will oe remembered which stamp its history as bcth peculiar and eventful. In the first piaeo, it originated as a private member's bill, and was even- tually "fathered by the Uovernmoiit. In the second place, it was responsible for the unusuui occurrence of a continuous sitting for nineteen hours in the House or Commons, and has been almcst as severely criticised by Ministerialists as by the Opposition. These circumstances attracted to it more at- tention than it otherwise might have had, and gave fuller publicity to its extraordin- ary provisions. I Having na&;cd through the Committee and report stages in the House of Commons, the bill will very shortly be passed on to the House of Lords. Owing to the (strenuous opposition from both sides of the Lower Cliamber, some of the most objectionable clauses contained in the original draft have been drastioklly altered, but what is left oc- casions considerable alarm and resentment in certain quartens. The avowed object of the measure is to extend, wheapen, and simplify the law of compensation tor ten- ants' improvements, "in the interests of good husbandry." How it is proposed to effect this by the amended provisions P The tenant may, on determination of the ten- ancy, claim compensation for adding to the agricultural value of the holding, the amount of compensation to be fixed by a single arbitrator. He may also claim com- pensation for damage to his crops by which he has not a lawful right to kill, any agreement to the contrary being void; but if allowance has been made in fixing the rent in respect of such damage, the arbi- trator, in assessing the compensation, shall have regard to suoh allowance, and make reasonable deduction for it. The tenant is to have perfect freedom of cropping of arable lands and disposal of produce, not- withstanding any agreement to the contrary provided he dcee not cause injury or de- terioration to the holding; hi- may claim compensation if his tenancy is terminated for "reasons inconsistent with good estate management" and he may execute without the landlord's consent building repairs when they are necessary for the proper cultiva- tion of the land. if the landlord has him- self refused to do the work. These are the main proposals which have impelled Mr Balfour to suggest that the Government are in this bill treating the landlord as a criminal qua landlord, for it will be observed that the bill is framed solely in the interests of tenants. It is on the broad ground of unnecessary interfer- ence with the relationship between landlord and tenant that opponents of the bill mostly take their stand. In the course of several interviews with gentlemen who are thorough masters of the subject of agri- culture, one goii/tkman declared ht.at. there is universal curiosity to know what prompted the bill- "What necessity is there for it?" he queried. "It is not asked for by the fanners. In recently dealing with an estate of 22,000 acres I failed to find one amongst tho laree number of tenants who had even heard of the bill, much less asked for it. Of course, when once they hear of it. and discover that it is entirely in their inter- ests, they may be expected to regard it very favourably. But I entirely dispute that eventually they will find it operates in their interest; for, depend upon it, the more you interfere with the relationship between landlord and farmer, tho worse it is for the farmer. There are quite sufficient disabilities attaching to the holding of land at the present time. and if you add to them, particularly in districts where farm- ing is not so prosperous, I am quite cer- tain you will deter landlords from letting their land." The latter point was emphasised by another gentleman, holding an official office, who prophesied that the outcome of piling penalties upon the landlord would almost inevitably result in many landlords farm- ing their own land and declining to let to tenants at all, thereby avoiding arbitrary claims for compensation. If that comes about," he explained, "I fail to see how the tenant will benefit, but I can see very clearly how lie will suffer. And if he suffers the object of the Government, which I have not the slightest doubt is to cultivate the good opinion and possible support of the farmer, will not only have lamentably failed. but a feeling of resentment rather than admiration will have been created." To prcrt'ip the various opinions collected on the many other points raised, they amount in effect to this. By the terms of the clauses which entitle the tenant to compen- sation, the landlord is placed at a serious disadvantage as a party to the issues raised, and the tenant acquires such an interest in his holding as in effect to become part owner. In other words, dual ownership is created, which implies some amount of con- fiscation of the landlord's rights in his own property. Concurrently, there must be a growing disposition to refrain from invest- ing capital in land. The clause giving ab- solute freedom as to cropping is bound to encourage inferior farming jn many in- stances. Land now 'in arable cultivation may be put to permanent pasture, and that would of necessity displace many agricul- tural labourers, the proportion of whom is reckoned at about five or six to every 200 acres of arable land. As a consequence of the greater causes of friction, there is bound to be increased litigation. If the charges on land. which are payable by the landlord, are increased, it follows that the security is more burdened, and will be less sought. By reason of the increased disabilities im- posed upon landowners, there will be a tendency to break up properties, and create small landlords, which is precisely what we are assured tenants do not desire. I was reoent-ly concerned in the sale of a very large estate," said one well-known land and estate agent, "where the universal request of the tenants was, 'Sell to one man if you can.' In spite of tho outcry against the large landowner, the tenant, as a rule, pre- fers him, because he finds him easier to deal with than the small landlord, and regards him as a man of substanoe. But ir new burdens are added to proprietorship there will be less willingness on the part of men of this class "to invest in land." "What landowner," it was added, "is going quietly to accept the position that freedom of con- tract with tenants is not open to him as it is in every other sphere ? What hag th^ English landlord done to merit such doubt of his fairness? Naturally, he does next opnose any improvements on his land whioh are likely to increase its value, and for such improvements the tenant is entitled to com- pensation undet. thf law as it stands. Very frequently the landlord is a much better fanner than his tenants, consequently he ehoula be given the same liberty of saying how his land should be treated." Such are the objections of the landed in- terest to the manifold defects of the Land Tenure Bill. And, apparently, those whom the measure is obviously framed to benefit share to some extent in many of those 01)- jections, having a shrewd suspicion that no amount of legislation can be of real service to them if it fosters discord between them and their landlords. To quote again: Tenants as a body are not so convinced of their isolated position as to see any advan- tage in being treated separately, and as having no concern with their landlords.. In no calling of life is harmony qf object Ii indispensable as in that of agriculture. This Bill creates discord." That is the studied declaration of one who speaks more for tiie landlords than the tenants. Here is the outspoken utterance of a Buckingham- shire tenant farmer, protesting against the inadequacy of Lord Carrington's recent de- fence of the Bill: "The average tenant farmer knows his business as well as anyone, and does not want any Government tin- kering between himself and his landlord. If the Government want to do anything for British agriculture, let them do something substantial or leave it alone, and not tinker and make mischief between landlord and tenant. I look upon my landlord as my best friend. The British farmer has been fighting with his back to the wall for years asking for bread. In the shape of fairplay now he is offered a stone, in the guise of this mischief-making Land Tenure Bill."
Dramat c Scene at Caerwys.
Dramat c Scene at Caerwys. A YOUNG LADY AND HER FORMER LOVER. At Caerwys Sessions on Tuesday, before Messrs (J. Morgan and W. Williams. Sarah Jones, an attractive-looking young woman, wa.s charged by her quondam lover Edward Jones, Shop LlanA Hodfari. near St. Asaph, with threatening to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr lioberts (Aneurin O. Evans and Co.), Denbigh, prosecuted, and Mr J. B. Marstcn, Moid, defended- Mr Roberts said complainant was twice proceeded against by defendant, who sought to affiliate her child, and on both occasions the lie noli dismissed the application. After- ware's defendant created a sceiie in court and several times threatened complainant. On June 28th, at Bodfari, defendant chased him with a knife, shouting III kill you." In consequence complainant sought protec- tion. Complainant, a young man, he was returning from St. Asaph, and had dis- mounted from his bicvcle in Bodiari village, when defendant threw a stone at him. He dodged the missile, and she then drew a knife out of her blouse and made for him. He tried to mount his bicycle but failed. He was charsed along the road, but turning suddenly he placed the machine in front of him just as defendant ran at him with a knife calling out" I'll kill you." Leaping on his bicycle he rode away- He would have been struck with the knife had it not been for the bicvcle. with which he was able to defend himself and keep the woman at bay. Bv Marston: He was positive it was a knife- Mr Marston (to defendant): Have you ,700 this dreadful knife? Defendant: Yes. -(Defendant drew from her blouse a broad piece of thin steel used in ladies' corsets, and handed it to Mr Marrston.) Complainant denied that this piece of steol was what ho took to bo a knife. Corroborative evidence was called to prove that defendant was seon to run afier the complainant with a "knife." Mr Marston, for the defence, said it was the most contemptible case ever brought into the court, and they were all getting sick of it. The case commenced in April, and had been continually before the Bench On the Thursday following tho June Sessions defendant went to Bed far: to enquire into certain statements made, in which the names of several people were in- troduced. Complainant jeered .and laughed at. her as ho stopped to speak to a washer- woman. She threw a stone and ran at him with the "knife"—the piece of steel she tone from hor corset. He ran, and she ran, and by means of the bicycle he got away Defendant gave evidence bearing out the statement made of her weapon being tho steel rib from her corsets. Defendant was bound over in his own re- cognisances of £10 to keep the peace for six months, and to pay costs. 12s. Advo- cate's fee was disallowed.
Protecting the Railway at…
Protecting the Railway at Mostyn. EXTENSIVE SEA DEFENCE WORKS. The London and North-Western llailway Company's engineers are now busy making food a threatened portion of tho Mostyn imbankment. Two 01- three years ago the sea demolished a long stretch of the earthen dyke between Holywell and Mostyn, and the gap was made good b; a new em- bankment formed by tipping on the land- ward side of the breach an enormous quan- tity of fragments of rook. The work done then is still quite good, and in all probabi- lity will permanently resist the impulse of the Dee channel to curve inwards at that point. Running inland towards the railway line at the western end of this new work is a narrow tidal waterway known as the Llanerchymor gutter, beyond which is the Mostyn embankment, extending to a short distance from the Mostyn Ironworks- The whole of the seaward side of this em- bankment, a mile or so in length, has long ago been faced with stone pitching, and, subsequent to the alarming inroad on the eastern side of the gutter which called for such prompt and expensive treatment at the hands of the Railway Company, the foundations of the Mostyn embankment have been reinforced by the tipping against them of large quantities of stone. From the mouth of the guttür-which is now practically in tho deep channel of the Dee —tlie Mostyn embankment extends some distance further into the estuary than does tho opposite bank of the little waterway. An angle is formed where the embankment turns along the shore in the direction of Mcstyn. The trouble now being dealt witI, is exactly at this angle—a little cape which is within a few feet of a river channel, in which a liner might float comfortably at ebb tide. It is evident that the sea has been working aJvay at the foundations of the embankment at this elbow, and the Com- pany's engineers mea.n to do their best to make further mischief impossible by accu- mulating stones around it which will sink untJ they find a good bottom and then form a natural slope, the upper extremity of which will support the existing stone- faced barrier.

John Lewie Morgan, of Pentrecclyn Hall, Ruthin, late of Llanfair- talhaiarn, and formerly of Mordan, Rhyl. Dea.th took place at tho residence of the deceased, on Saturday, and was somewhat sudden, although -Mr Morgan had not been in good health tor some considerable time.

Colwyn Bay T.A.A. Concert. A HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL ENTERTA!NMENT. The annual concert, promoted by the Colwyn Bay Town Advertising Association, was held in the Pier Pavilion on Tuesday evening, and as usual there was a very large attendance. The purpose oi the concert was to augment .the funds of the Association, and the object must have been well achieved. Both from a financial and artistic point, the concert was a huge succcss, and those responsible for the programme are to be congratulated upon the caoa-ble manner in which everything was carried out. The stage mC^nagere, Messrs A. J. Fleet and H. Coley, did tksir work admirably, matters being greatly facilitated by their business-like methods. A notice was printed on the programme, to the effect that no encores would be allowed, but in the case of Mr Harry Chrimes this had to be ignored. He gave on his appearance in the second half the old favourite "Algy," by way of an encore. Mifs Sally Parry and Mrs Bruce, were, as usual, in splended voice, and their numbers were immensely enjoyed. To the mem- bers of G Company 2nd V.B. R W.F., nothing but the heartiest praise is due for the able manner in which both the physical drill exercises and the tableaux were given. The latter were splendidly presented. Sergeant-Instructor Jolly is to be congratulated upon the results of his labours. Mr H. E. Walker, the elocutionist, may bo placed among the first three of the principal successes of the evening. Miro.c; Daisy Cartwright. daneeute, as usual, made a decided success, and was loudly recalled on each occasion. "Mabel" and "Esther" were also good. Frederic Selra gave a few feats of legerdemain. The Old Colwyn Male Voice Choir, under the able leadership of Mr Bryan E. Warhurst. A.R.C.M., gave of their best. Without doubt they arc one of the finest male voice choirs at present in North WaleG. Equally successful was the playing of the Old Colwyn Silver Band. They showed great improvement. and much o' thLs was, no doubt, due to the training of Mr Hezekiah Jones.

CONCERT IN THE COLWYN BAY…
CONCERT IN THE COLWYN BAY PAVILION. MISS EVANGELINE FLORENCE'S VISIT. Miss Evangeline Florence, perhaps England's greatest ballad concort sap-rano, and her party held a high-class concert in the Colwyn Bay Pier Pavilion, on Saturday evening. The party included Mr Emlyn Davies, A.R.C.M.. the popular Welsh baritone; Miss Esther Yunson, a well known Scottish contralto; Miss A. Back- Bheeti Wood, the violinist; Air John Bardsley, tenor, and Miss Carrie Lumbers, pianist, and an old acquaintance of the Pavilion's patrons. For the time of the year the house ipust be t regarded as a very go>od one, the best-priced seats being particularly weLl filled. The programme opened with a violin and pianoforte duet by the Misses Wood and Lum- bers, in which both artistes were heard to ad- vantage. At a later stage Miss Wood gave an even more acceptable item. This„was Hauser'a "Rhap3odie." Hex interpretation of this ajid of Sarasate's "Spanish Dance" was really artistio. She was enoored on both occasions. Since Mise Wood's last appearance in the Pavilion her tone has distinctly improved. Mr John Bardsley is more oir less a stranger to Oolwvn Bay concert- gtoers. He is voung, has a pleasing appearance, and his enunciation is good. His voice is also good, but for some reason or other he did not seem to do full justice to it, especially in the upper register. His selections included "1 think" (Guy d' Hardelot), and, while the reading wa-e perfect, the general effect was marred some. what in the direction indicated. Miss Yunpon created a very favourable im- pression. The possessor of a round, mellow, rich voice, she snng with grace and case. Her items were "Still as the Night" (Bohm), in the vernacular; "When the Swallows liomeward fly." and "I know a lovely garden," as a cou- plet, and her part in a duet with Miss Evan- geline Florence, and in a quartette. Miss Yunson will be welcomed ag'ain at Colwyn Bay. The popular soprano herself sang David's "Thou charming bird," Liza Lehmann's "Lovers in a Lane," and Parsons' "The Sandman," the last riained two as a couplet. Miss Florence was in splendid voice, a<nid when that is said it will be realised that the audience enioyed a delightful experience. She WM vociferously encored each time, and she readily responded. Her rerdering of the Cuckoo son.g in one case was excellent Mr Emlyn Davies gave "Fy aiiwy} Walia wen," miMMi-lamented H. o, Hughes s oharminff composition, and Bransoombe's "The Lowland feea." The talented Welshman is steaaily tending upwards. Compaired with the Emlyn we heard five years ago he is to-day a. vastly superior art^te, and, unless we err, he has be- fore him still greater successes to achieve. His tone hae developed in power, range, and purity, and not the least maxked feature of his progress his cultivation of the thin register. In The LowlaJia S&a" he utilised tihls quality with rare effeot. lilt Davies is a whole-hearted Taffy, however^ a> fa-ot amply evidenced by the extra attention he gave to Che Welsh number. He was. of course, hearily recalled oil each appear- ance. Qfn the whole, the concert was one of the most pleasing held here for k long time.

Secondary Education Problem. FATE OF HIGHER GRADE SCHOOLS. THE CASE Or THE COLWYN BAY INSTITUTION. Sinoe tli>e passing of the, Welsh Inter- mediate Education Act of 1889 and the sub- sequent establishment of county schools (writes a Mauohestetii Guardian" corres- pondent) the looal conditions have in cer- tain instances undergone a change. In some the population of the county school area has considerably increased; in others the centre of population has moved to different points. The Board of Education also has materially modified, under the Goekerton judgment, the conditions under which edu- cation other than elementary may be given in the primary schools. Each of these causes has a bearing upon the new oroblem which is exercising _the mind of Welsh educationists- The old I. hier grade school" has dis- appeared a new type known as the "higher elementary school" has taken its plaoe. The differences betweeji the two, broadly speak- ing. are that in the new typ. the ncre limit for pupils has been reduced, and that the scope of its curriculum in the. direction of secondary education has been curtailed. The Revised Regulations for Higher Ele- mentary Schools" recsntly issued by the Board of Education insist that on and after January 1st, 1907, the higher elementary schools must "not enter into undue com- petition with neighbouring secondary schools." This means, in practice, the abandonment of secondary work in the new tpye of school. Rather than curtail their curriculum, some of these sohools are now pressing for recognition as secondary schools.
A REJECTED OFFER.
A REJECTED OFFER. The question has assumed an acute phase in Denbighshire. A London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian has record- ed the fact that the heads of the Denbigh- shire Education Committee have been in London in consultation with the Welsh members and with the Board of Education on a matter of great local importance- It is an open secret that this is the cla-lin now put forward by the Colwyn Bay Dis- trict Education Committee for the recogni- tion of its higher elementary school as a secondary school Though the problem has also arisen in Merionethshire and Carnar- vonshire, the difficulty in the case of Col- wyn Bay is enhanced by the close proxi- mity of Abergele County School. The edu- cational history of this district is interest- ing. When the late Mr Thomas Gee and the other pioneers of intermediate educa- tion in Denbighshire were considering the county scheme they were anxious that the intermediate school for the western corner of the county should be located at Colwyn Bay. That, town, however, did not feel prepared to meet the requirements of the scheme, viz., the provision of a free site and a building fund. On the refusal of Oolwyn Bay Abergele stepjjen into the breach. By the generosity of Mr H. R. Hughes. of Kinmel, a site was presented to the town and a building fund provided. Though the school in its early years was regarded as a risky experiment its success or recent years has quite justified its establishment. The Denbighshire authority thus finds it- self in this clifhcultv. The establishment of another secondary school at Colwyn Bay, distant only a ten minutes' railway jour- ney from Abergele. might threaten the suc- cess of the Abergele County School, and the large sums recently spent on "the extension of the buildings would be wasted. The train is convenient, and bunsaries are pro- vided by the Abergele governors to cover the train fares of all pupils from the CoJ- wyn Bay area. Added to this is the fact that Colwyn Bay is surrounded by other county schocfj-, inaluding the ,of Llan- dudno, Llanvwst, Rhyl. and St. Asaph. Tlie provision already made by the Abergele governors for secondary education is aJso sufficient for a considerable expansion of the population in Aberp-ole, Colwyn Bay, and the immediate district. CARNARVONSHIRE ALSO IN A DIFFICULTY. Carnarvonshire is experiencing the same difficulty at Bangor, and Merionethshire at Festiniog. At Bangor eo good an educa- tionist as Mr G. J. Williamç .inspector of mines, basing his views on his personal ex- perience at Festiniog, strongly opposes the proposal put forward by the Bangor autho- rity. The financial difficulties, too, have to be considered- In Denbighshire these hap- pen to be serious. The county schools even now suffer from a shortage oj funds. The report of a recent meeting of the Ruabon governors shows that the governors there are for this reason unable to grant addi- tional bursaries for which there exists a need. Other county schools are similarly hampered, and the further curtailment of their available funds by the maintenance of a secondary school at Colwyn BdV would be a seriouis matter for the county. The additional demands for elementary educa- tion are ailso taxing the authority, and in the immediate future these will be largely increased—Colwyn Bay itself already re- quiring additional provision in this direc- tion _—————————.
