Peter Jones, Welsh Baptist minister, was one of the preachers at Corwen on Tuesday on the occasion of the annual Baptist Conference. PIER PAVILION CONCERTS. Thanks to the improvement in the weather during the week end the number of visitors in the town this week is decidedly more en- couraging. and the attendances at the Pier Pavilion have inoreased in consequence- On Saturday evening the special concert was largely patronieed.

Burrows, Mr Fa-aaaini gave an artistic rendering of Demare's piccolo solo. "The Linnet," the inevitable en- core being responded to with equal success. The feature of the evening however, was the interpretation cf the "Prologue" to "Pag- Iiaoca" by Mr Charles Tree, the eminent bari- tone. The vocalist was in his most pleasing mood, and on no occasion has he scored a more signal triumph in this district than on Saturday evening. He was enthusiastically ra- called. but it was on his second appearance that he enjoyed "full honours." He gave "I think" (Hardelof) and "Lighterman Tom" (Squire) as a couplet, and the audience posi- tively refused to permit the orchestra to pro- ceed with the next item until Mr Tree had responded to two more encores—"The old Gray Mare" and "Two Bright Eyes." Var- ied as were his selections the artiste was never at a loss to give the songs their proper plaoe and meaning. The orchestra were also heartily cheered for their performance of Brahm's "Two Hungarian Dances" and Verdi's de- lightful "II Trovatore." On Sunday evening Mr Tree, who is the vooalist for the week, e*ng "Thou'rt passing hence" (J3ullivan), and "God's Garden" (Lambert) with great success.

HOLYWELL.
HOLYWELL. SINGULAR LICENSING CASE.-At the Petty Sessions, on Tueeday, Mr T. W. Hughes, Flint, made application on behalf of Mr W. H. Hobbs, of Liverpool, for a protection order in respect of the licence of the Sun Tavern, Peny- ba 11-street, Holywell. Mr Hughes stated that in May last applioation was made for a temporary grant, which, on police objections, was refused. For some yearn the house had been closed, though it had reoentily been renovated and modernised. The house was the property of Mr J. Bird, who mortgaged it to a Liverpool gen- tleman, who had practically rebuilt it. When the first application was made by Mr Hobbs and rofused to him, the holder of the lioenoe, Mr Williams, exercised the licence. He (Mr Hughes) held that the objection of the polioe was wrong. The house was an anito-1869, and the only objection would be one of four they did not apply, and that of redundancy oould net be Timised alt) that period but only at the annual brewetcr sessions. The Bench decided by a majority to grant the application. EISTEDDFODIC SDOCESS.-At Rhos oliair eisteddfod, on Monday, Mirs Dinah Parry, Houy- well, was awarded the prize for the best essay on "The essentials of happiness and success to a workman's home."

Carnarvon, on Saturday last, and participated for the first time in a number of the competi- tions- Although no prizes were gained, the men did exceptionally good work, and un- doubtedly they will greatly benefit by the ex- perience gained during the day. The steam firfl engine was tf-ken with them, and this was the objeot of admiration of all for its cleanli- ness. the captain being complimented on all hands. LLANRWST CRICKETERS. Mr H. E. BLaokwali, the popular captain of the Llanrwst cricket eleven, has been congratulated on all hands for his handsome score of 66 not out, com- piled in the oounty match at Mold, last week.

For the forthcoming match against Carnarvonshire, a.t Pwllheli, the Llanrwst eleven have been great- ly honoured by the Erecutive of the Denbigh- shire team, for no less than three of its mem- bers have been selected to play. These are Messrs H. E. Blaokwall, J. Jenkins, and young Archie Carter. The latter player has made some excellent scores this season, and it is sin- cerely hoped that he will distinguish himself at Pwllheli. SUCOESSFTJL BARD.-Mr Tom Owen, Hafod Elwy, who won the bardic chair at Llan- rwst, twelve months to last Whit-Monday, was again successful at the Rhosllanerchrugog Eis- teddfod, on Monday last. The subject was "The Bangor-is-y-coed Massacre." THE RECENT JUMBLE SALE under the auspioes of the Church brought in a nett re- sult of £ 7 2s 4d. The following have been heartily thanked for contributing goods:—Mrs T. Thomas, Mrs Walling, Mrs Williams, Bryn- madyn. Mrs Darbyshire, Mrs Wil&on, Mrs Rich, Mrs Morgan, Mrs McFarlane, Meesrs Latimer Jones, E. Jones Owen, J.P., F. A. Charlton, and C. T. A Llard. DEATH.—The death is announced of Miss Davies, 8, Watling-street, at the age of about 60 years. The deceased, who was a native of Gwytherin, came to reside in Llanrwst about ten years ago, and carried on a. successful refresh- ment house in Watling-street. THE SPORTS CHALLENGE SHIELD.—Mr David Jones, Berlin House, has received the order to supply the massive silver-mounted challenge shield, which is offered in the five miles bioyole championship at the Llanrwst sports on Bank Holiday. THE WHIT-MONDAY EISTEDDFOD. A meeting of the General Committee of the above Eisteddfod was held on Monday night. Major A. E. Priddle presided over a fairly good attendance of members. The Chairman, at the outset, stated that he had much greater pleasure than last year in in- forming them that there was a credit balanoe of £ 20 126 4d. The Secretary read out the statement of accounts whioh showed that the total receipts amounted to J6500 Ü6 lid, and the payments £ 279 8s 7d. The total amount of subscriptions amounted to £ 76 7s, and the gate receipts during the day came to JB211 7s 6d. In the morning £ 23 14s lOd was received; afternoon, £ 63 7s 6d; and night, £ 108 48 2d. In reply to a question the Secretary said that the nett low on the Eis- teddfod without the subscriptions came to B59 ils 8d. Mr D. J. Williams said that from what he saw the attendance at the two latter meetings, he should have thought there were three times as many people in the evening than in the after- noon The Chairman said that it was somewhat of a mystery at present. They made out that there were about 1800 people in the tent that evening according to the tickets, and he be- lieved they were agreed that there were more present. A large crowd must have got in by some means which was not strictly honourable. Undoubtedly there was a discrepancy somewhere. A suggestion to a-pipoint a small committee to make enquiries was not adopted, and the Chair- man remarked that this would put them on their guard for future Eisteddfodau. Mr R. R. Owen was then appointed auditor of the accounts, which would again be presented to a general meeting of the subscribers on the 29th July next. An honorarium of £10 was voted to Mr Harry Jones, the energetic secre- tary for his past two years' labours on behalf of the Eisteddfod. It was also decided by a large majority to recommend to the general meeting of subscribers that an Eisteddfod be held next year. A vote of thanks to the chair- man brought the meeting to a close.

LLANDDULAS. SCAVENGING.—It was reported to the Rural District Council at St. A.-&ph on Friday tha.t it had been arranged to delegate to the Paro- chial Committee of Llanddulas the duties of the Council as regards scavenging at Llanddulas.

It would be better, he thought, to await the result of the scraping before doing anything further in the matter—This sugges- tion was agreed to.

Hughes, M.A., and a powerful sermon was preached by the Rev. J. W. Wynne Jones, M.A., vicar of Carnarvon, basing his remarks on the words "Bread Corn is bruised." He counselled the nurses of the hospital not to become despomd- enit when they met with fa.ilures, but to have courage, and bear in mind that as the corn had to be he threshed, to be oleared of the husks and tire straw, ao the lord sent affliction among- his people.

On Thursday morning an entcrfainmont was given at the Pier Theatre of Varieties, in aid of the Variety Artistes' Federation. The Happy Valley Minstrels were the first performers, and gave a very creditable exhibition. Mr W. J. Churchill explained that the Variety Artistes' Federation was an association formed in con- nection with the recent music hall artistes' strike. Some people, he said had an alto- gether wrong idea of this strike. They ware not striving to improve the condition of the artistes who were receiving JE200 and a £1000 a year, but the poor artiste, who was only re- ceiving 30s per week, and had a wife and fam- ily to support, and was obliged to go long journeys in connection with their profess ion. The Scarlet Merriona also gave a very enjoy- able performance, and the Happy White Coons were also much appreciated. Messrs Adeler and Sutton's Pierrots were muoh in evidence, and the Royal American Bioscope displayed several interesting pictures. On the whole the performance was a success, and judging by the attendance, the Variety Ar- tistes' Federation should benefit considerably- DRUNKENNESS.-At Conway Police Oourt, on Monday, Thomas John Jones, Gladys House, Craigydon, was fined 2s 6d and costs for drunk- enness. CHURCH OFFERTORIES.-CShurch offertor- ies for the past month were: Holy Trinity, 984 128 3d; St. George's. B24 168 7td; St. Tudno's, B41 5s 8d.

ST. TUDNO'S CHURCH.—The oost of the reoemt repairs to St. Tudno's Ohurch. is esti- m'ajted at slightly over £400. Towards this E310 156 (including, tihe offertories and collec- tions on the day of re-opeminig) has already been subscribed, and the unpaid subscriptions amount to £10. therefore it will be seen that the amount still needed is J390. THE "RICHARD OWEN" SCHOLARSHIP. —The Carnarvonshire Education Oammatitee on Monday elected as the trustees representing the authority of the Llandudno "Richard Owen" Scholarships Foundation the chairman (Mr D. P. Williams) and Alderman Jdhn Owen, Llan- dudno. Professor Lloyd has been appointed the representative of the University College of North Wales, Bangor.
