"ALONG THE COAST." --
"ALONG THE COAST." (By a Travelling Correspondent). I observed this week that the present epell of ielightful summer we are now enjoying was called by one of the daily papers the "Indian Summer." It is true that the conditions of the weather now closely resemble that glorious but brief season of every year which we designate by the term ''Indian Summer," but my im- preesion is that if this is the real thing it is coming upon us at an ominously early date. I prefer rather to think that we are now, as I said last week, experiencing a. belated portion of the real summer, which is succeisisfully stav- ing off that too early commencement of a hard winter such as seemed impending at t'he end of A ug tib t. » » The "Indian Summer" properly so called oo- ours towards the end of October, or the begin- ning of November, and it is also known in this country as St. Martin's Summer. In America, it comes—every year without fail-in the season known there as "The Fal! and almost invari- ably follows the preliminary onset of winter. It is as though the cold weather comes on in waves, and the Indian Summer follows the first flow of the winter, and before the second and more severe wave motion finally brings winter upon the country. In our land the St. Martin's Summer comes to the farmers at a most useful period, and they hardly ever fail to profit by it, while they are very rarely disappointed by ite conoccurenoe. • • • They "raise" their potatoes during the Indian Su "e r, and stow them away neatly and in dry condition in the earthen "barrows" to be kept free from frost and wet during the coming hard wca.thcr. Many other operations about the land which are helped by dry weather am also attended to, and in days gone by at Mar- tinmas, or the Feast of St. Martin, on November 11th, the country folks used to get in the store of salt meat and other provisions needed for the sustenance of the farmstead family and depen- dents during the approaching winter. Let us all hope that, in addition to the present most Welcome period of summer weather, we will also get a generous measure of the true Indian Sum- itner a month or more from now. • • • • The visit of the Llandudno Field Club to the Conway Church and Castle, on Saturday, would do the old town good by calling public atten- tion to its antiquity and to the exceptional mea.- sure of archaeological remains it possesses- The Rector of Llandudno, who is a loyal member of the club, and anxious to promote its welfare, —well knowing, as a citizen of Llandudno, how great an attraction to the place it is, inasmuch fcs it affords opportunities to visitors of getting a closer insight into the places of archaeological interest near by than can be got from mere guide-book study,-had arranged to lecture to the party upon the architecture of the two great Conway buildings. He is a close student -of architectural matters. » » » But the opportunity of hearing the eloquent Mivino upon two such famous antiquities as Oonway's Castle and Abbey attracted to the party quite a number of North Wales archi- tects. There were Mr G. A. Humphreys, of Llandudno; Mr Edwin Turner, of Llandudno; Mr Harold Hughes, of Bangor; and Mr Her- bert North, of Llarufairfechan, present; and there may have been more gentlemen of the lame profession. < The Rector had something very interesting to Isay. He pointed out, for instance, that during the time of the Tudors Wales became important, and benefitted from a wave of prosperity and energy. During that time those churches along the coast were built, which are perpendicular in stylo. A good many of these churches exist, and there are portions of Conway Church built during that period. The most beautiful flower of English architecture, he said, was the ex- cellent work done in oak, and of this again Conway Church contains, in its rood screen, a very fine example. Originally this screen was nearer the west end than it is at present, and in those days the choir or chance! was much larger than now, and the nave was much smaller. » The Rector was also instructive in the Castle, showing how its outer aspect was grim and for- bidding, while within effort was made to make it pleasant and homely for the people who had often to spend months shut up in it, and sur- rounded by a more or less hostile populace. There was chivalry in those days, said the Rec- tor, and the safest quarters in the building were set apart for the ladies, the very best of all the apartmenta being reserved for the queen. On the south aide of the Castle, by the way, the danger of attack was slighter than on the other aides. and it is interesting to notice how plea- sant embrasures were formed in the walls of the towers at various points on that side, with stone seats round them on three sides, from which the occupants of the Castle might peep out Safely through the narrow opening in the wall across at the woods of Benarth, or over the es- tuary, or up towards Gyffin. The stone seats still exist, and one does not need a very vivid imagination to picture them occupied by maids and matrons in their everlasting needlework or embroidery, whilst their husbands, lovers, or .brothers were out upon the chase, or marching against some body of the irrepressible, rebel- lious Britons! Methinks, too, that the same frtono seats would serve right well, look you, for the happy lovers to siO upon, and tell the story of their valour into the willing ears of their ladyes faire! » # » » I hoard it suggested that the Corporation of Conway might usefully expend some little amount of the funds fchev receive from visitors ic the Castle in excavating the debris at the foot of some of the towers. Very interesting finds might be made. The well, too, in Jie Sourtva.rd migflit be dug out, carefully, and un- er struct au pair vision, for it is evident that it must have been much deeper than it is at pre- sent. • • Dr. Frasor, of Carnarvon it now appears, db. finitely settjled. is about to give II phis appoint- ment as medical officer of health for the Ca.rna.r- vOTifthire districts. I think it is uridoubted that 80 long as he chose to continue in office none of the councils in tihe districts would have wish- ed to withdraw from tihe union, for he is uni- versally respected, and his undoubted Christian (isiiO&rity makes him a perfect officer. But tie ha4 elected to give the remainder of his life to the missionary oaitse, and I hope that he will have every blessing out on the Khassia, Hills, where the mission field of the Welsh Calvinistio Methodists is situated. The country lie soubh of the Braihmaputra Valley, in about the 25th parallel of latitude, and though probably not nigh enough to be wholly suitable for Europeans, it will be a better home for the worthy doctor |(han down in the Brahmaputra Valley on tho 0ae hand or in Lower Bengal on the other. Now that toi-e dbotor is voluntarily relinquishing his office, I am inclined to think that the joint dis- trict will be laj-gely split lm into ite component parts, and that Llandudno Colwyn Bay, Ban- gor, Conway, and other towns will elect their own medical offioer of health, as, if local medi- 0aJ mon are ? ppointod they will always be on the spot Wh(\n required in emergency. • • • « A wonderful man is Sir James Browne, who, as president of the Sanitarv In- spectors' Association, has presided over the Llandudno meetings this week. He would nave made a name in any profession, had not medi- cine, and especially tho study of lunacy, claimed has energies and talent at an e.arly age. lIe loves a controversy, too, and one of his most famous wars of words was with Mr Winston Churchill in the "Times," on the subject >f the manufacture of Harris tweeds- I would rather not say who was adjudged to have had the better of the argument, but I believe the young politician was lured into saying more, than he probably meant. • • » Two vears ago Sir James Crichton-Browne delivered a (striking condemnation, of town life and the increasing size of our great cities. If cities persisted' in growing at the present rate, and under existing conditions, they would, I remember he said, dry up the reservoirs of dtrengtli in the population and leave a.n im- mense proletariat of inferior quality. Needless to add. Sir Jamtw Crichton-Browne is a firm believer in the gosped of fresh air but, by one I oi tho strange little ironies of fate for whidh there is no accounting, a.t the very meeting in which he expatiated so eloquently on the need for plenty of ventilation not a sing-le window of .the was open—and t.here were quite two hundred other people present besides thp great medio.1 J scientist- The incident afforded another ¡ s apt illustration of tihe injunction, "Pli-v heal thyself.

THE PIERROTS.—Mr Chas. Marston, the favourite baritone vocalist attached to the Pier- rot troupe, was given a complimentary berietit on Friday evening, and his popularity was proved by the large crowd in attendance. On the occasion, a special programme, overladen with good things, was presented. A RUNAWAY HORSE.—On Thursday morn- ing, a horse attached to a shandry, the property of Mr John Jones, Grimsby House, which had been left outside the shop, suddenly dashed away on a mad gallop in the direction of the Public HaH. The animal had only traversed a few yards when it narrowly escaped colliding with one of Mr James Arundale's vehicles, the promptitude of the boy in charge of the latter averting what might have proved a serious ac- cident. Further up the road the runaway got on to the parapet, but when almost at the top of the hill it came into contact with the Co-opera- tive Society's oart Before the horse could proceed further on its career a man seized its head, and it was taken back to the shop, none the worse for its experience with the exception of one or two slight bruises. OBITUARY.—Tho death occurred, on Friday, of Mr Wm. Jones, 3, Brickfield-terrace. De- ceased, who was 49 years of age, had been ail- ing for about three months, the cause of death being an internal diseas9. During his sojourn in the town he had erected several large pro- perties, inctudin the residence of the late Canon Lynton. From the opening of the Mission Churoh until three years ago he was verger. It will be recollected that with the aid of some American machinery he, some time ago, moved the church bodily some fifty or sixty yards, and without mishap placed it on the foundation, where it now stands. He was last year the trea- surer of the football club. A sad feature of the event was that several of his family did not know that the deceased had passed away until they had returned from Rhyl, whither they had gone in consequence of the doath of deceased's brother. The remains were interred in the Bronynant Cemetery, on Tuesday afternoon, midst manifest sorrowing and in the presence of a large number of friends. HARVEST THANKSGIVING.—Wednesday next, the 25th inst., has been fixed upon as Harvest Thanksgiving Day, upon which it is customary for all shops and places of business to be closed. HARD-WORKED m.r.-At-,iorigat the visi- tors to Colwyn Bay last week were Mr G. Nicholls, M.P., and Mrs Nicholls. Mr Nicholls represents in the House of Commons the division of North Northamptonshire. Before entering Parliament he was a Congregational minister at Chesterton, Staffordshire, and during his visit to Colwyn Bay was staying with some of his Ches- terton friends at Radcliffe House, East Parade. Mr Nicholls is in great demand as a preacher and speaker, and the week he spent at Colwyn Bay was the only holiday he had been able to get since the general election. Both Mr and Mrs Nicholls were delighted with Colwyn Bay and the neighbourhood. They visited Conway and Llandudno, sailed to the Menai Straits, and enjoyed several concerts in the Pier Pavilion. "THE MANXMAN." One of uhe finest pdecee staged at the Public Hall for same time was The Manxman," whicli was per- formed on Monday and Wednesday evenings. There were large attendances on each occasion, and the performances wore thoroughly enjoyed. "Potie." tho character round whidh the story is built, was vroJjl portraved by Mr Alfred B- Cross. As "Kate," his wiifo, Miss Minnie Watersford, gave a higihly creditable account of herself, and she was loudly applauded on seve- ral occasions. On Tuesday evening. "David Garriok" was produced, and in this again the a,rt.is,tes were seen to advantage. A SPECIAL SHOW. Messrs Kirby and Nicholson Ltd., 6, St. Anne's Square, Man- chester, have arranged' to bold a special ttiow of model gowma, rniliiinory, tailor mades, mo., i at the Hortsel Mefcropole on Tuesday and Wed- nesday.

SALE OF WORK—As a result of the two days' sale of work, held in the Public Hall last week, in aid of the Y.M.C.A. branch, it is understood that a Bthm of 965 will bo handed over to the treasurer- The amount required was B100, but, unfortunately, tihe at- tendance on tihe second day was comparatively small. IN AID OF THE T.A.A-—«_m Sabunday even- ing, through the kindness of Mr Catlin and his manager, Mr Sid. Frere, the proceeds of the Pierrots' oonert were given in aid of the funds of tihe Town Advertising Aisrwoiation. A special programme attracted a large crowd, and it ia expected that the Association will benefit to a good extent. The members of the troupe were in the best of mood, and rendered every item in their best style. A most enjoyable evening was brought to a close with a musical aketdh entitled "The Academy." "A SOLDIER'S HONOUR."—On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, capital audiencoa at- tended the Public Hall, when "A .Soldier's Honour," a powerful military drama by Mrs F. G. Kimberley. was presented. The piece is one in which interest never flags. Tne various parts were portrayed by capable artistes. Miss Edie Macklin in the role of "the Slavey" evoked roars- The authoress played the "heavy lead" successfully. TRAILER OVERTURNED—A motor evele with a trailer attached was going along Aber- geie-road, on Saturday evening, and when near the turning to Erskine-road, the trailer became detached, and was overturned, throwing out the gentlema-n riding in it. Luckily ho escaped with a few slight cuts and bruises. Ijl. huIjARY.—About midnight on Wednes- day, last week, Mr M. W. Lloyd, whilst pro- ceeding home, noticed a light in the shop of Mr George Bevan, in Conway-road. His suspicions le being roused, he went for the police. In a few minutes "1>.C. G. Martin was on the scene, but the light had then vanished. Mr Bevan was cai.ed, and a search instituted, when it was found that an entrance had been made through a win- dow in the rear of the premises, but nothing other than 3s worth of stamps had been taken. No definite information as to the identity of the offender has been obtained as yet, but it is evi- dent that he was no stranger to the building, for he had to pass through a number of well- filled store-rooms, and this was done without creating any noise. MINSTRELS.- On Mondiy e\erimig, the members of Mr Chas- Da.re's indnatrel troupe hold1 their benefit concert in the Church Room. There was a large attendance, and a caoitai programme was given. AH the boys" worked hard, and it would be invidious to individualise. In addition to the local t.roupe, Mr W. J. Churchill, of Happy VaLlev fame, a- -eared in comipany with his entire troupe of 20 P-rfarm- ors. The combination presented a rninfitrel pro- gramme, seldom equalled in the town- So de- termined were the audience in their e'emands for encores that several items to be cur- tailed.

"LIGHTS OUT" AT THE PUBLIC…
"LIGHTS OUT" AT THE PUBLIC HALL. Colwyn Bay playgoers are looking forward to the visit of Mr J. Matilidy-Gregory 16 special company from the Wadd-orf Theatre, with "Lights Out" at tihe Public Hall. There is a double interest attaching to tnia company; firstly, because the play was interdicted by the Kaiser in his dominions; and secondly, because in Mr J. Maundy-Gregory church and sta/je meet. Mr J. Maundy-Gregorv is the son of the late Rev. Francis Mau-ndy-Gregory. The late Dean Stevens, of YVincheotor, was a o-usin, while bobh his grandfathers were clergymen, and one of tlhem a member of Convocation for many yoi.rs. These facts are mentioned as they go to explain in part the tremendous interest and success of "Lights Out. The story of the lieutenant's Jove for his sergeant's daughter, and the consequences following the discovery of that love make indeed a veiry powerful play. Miss Dorothea Desmond, the subject of our portrait, has won very great opinions in tihe part of Kliara Volkhardt- The London Press has said many nioe things of "Lights Out," which lis cflean and! sound. Mr Maundy-Gregory's company will play for three nights onJy, this (Thursday) evening, Friday, and Saturday.

THEFT OF A TAPE MEASURE AT COLWYN BAY. WOMAN SENTENCED TO ONE MONTH'S IMPRISONMENT. Mary Evauns, alias Mary Bonner and Mary Taylor, was charged on remand, before Mr :-I:. G. Osbonn (presiding), and Mr J. Williams, at Colwyn Bay on Friday, with stealing a tape measure value 3d, the property of Mrs Cather- ine Barnes, of Nil Deperaindum» Meirion Galr- dens, Colwyn Bay.

There were also in the summer ihouse a piece of crocheted Lace, value 30s, and a drawn tiniread table cloth. When she returned to the summer house all the articles were gone She recognised the tape measure produced by mea-ns of a bent pin at the end. She ihad not seen the other articles since. Sorgt. Jones-Rees said he arrested the de- fendant in Station road, and took her to tho pot-ice station- At 6 p.m. on the same day he recovered the tape measure, which was in a small black bag (produced).

The Bench could not do less than ordor the defendant to one month's imprisonment with hard labour.

A SAND ARTIST IN TROUBLE. Edward Dwyer was charged by P.C. Owen, before Mr T. G. Osborn and Mr John Wil- liams, on Friday, with being drunk and disor- derly at Old Colwyn the previous night.—The defendant admitted having been very drunk, but said he did not cause any trouble after the constable spoke to him. He had been to Old Colwyn to see a friend, and they had a lot of drink. He had been at Colwyn Bay about a month, but had intended to leave the town to go to Rhyl that morning. He pleaded with the Bench to deal leniently with him, as he had a wife, and a child seven months old.—The Chairman: What brought you to Colwyn Bay?- The defendant said he had been working below the pier as a sand artist. He also stated that he was an old soldier, and had two medals for active service, and a pension. "Unfortunately," added the defendant, "if I have a little drink it takes effect upon me. I know I'm better without it."—The Chairman asked for the de- fendant's Army papers, and the defendant pulled out a handful. of pieces of paper, including a permit to work on the foreshore as a sand artist, but his discharge papers from the Army were missing.—The defendant's wife, who was in court, said his pension papers were at Stock- port, to which town he belonged.—The Chair- man: What regiment were you in?-Defendant: I was in the 2nd Battalion Cheshiro Regiment, and served seven years and four months.—The Chair- man A man who has been in the Army should not disgrace the Army in the way you have done.—The Defendant: I am very sorry.

I had in- tonded to leave to-day.—The Chairman We will let you go this time, and advise you to keep away from the drink.
RHOS-ON-SEA. ~
RHOS-ON-SEA. THE POSTAL- ARRANGEMENTS.-A cor- respondent writes: "A movement is afoot in the vicinity of Rhos-road to gain, a concession from the postal authorities for an earlier deli- very of letters in the morning. At present, the Rhos-road shopkeepers' letters are delivered about 9 a.m., which is a great inconvenience. This could be easily remedied by a little re- arrangement of the rounds of the two postmen serving the district, and it is towards this end that the present movement has been started. A furtlfer grievance is that the last collection in the evening is 8.30, and anyone failing to post before that time has perforce to walk to Colwyn Bay to do so. A collection at about 10 o'clock would indeed be a boon. SUNDAY SERVICES.-On Sunday, services were conducted in the Congregational Church, both in the morning and evening, by the Rev- H. M. Henderson, Bangor.

Tho cause of the accident which neariy resul/ted in the death of Mr Pytne wias owing- to a girl who could not ride Losing her eelf-combrol at a critical momanit. I was sent for within a few minutes of the accident, and found Mr Pyne in such a Eerious condition that I took him (I did not "isend him" as some of the rtapeirs asserted) to the Cottage Hospital. When I arrived there. I found, upon examina- tion, tha.t it would be necessary to operate undbr chloroform- It was, t'r^irefore, necessary to have as&stamoe, and I it?, phoned to my friend.

A PROTEST FROM A LOVER OF…
A PROTEST FROM A LOVER OF ANIMALS. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer.") Sir,—I have visited many pleasure resorts, but nowhere have I witnessed such cruelty to animals as goes on in Colwyn Bay. Last week (a stranger to me) remarked that it was the worst place for beating animals, and furious driving, that she had ever stayed in, and I cordially agreed with her. Is there no one whose duty it is, or should be, to put a stop to this barbarous work? It is useless for sensitive people to &eek either hea'th or pleasure here, while such conditions are allowed to prevail. On remonstrating with a man for beating his horse he gave expression to the intelligent (?) opinion that "horses are made to be beaten!" If that is the general belief-and apparently it is here in regard to "aIr an '.mals-then I fervently pray, "Heaven save the poor helpless creatures." May I appeal to visitors, residents, clergy, and ministers to help to remove such a huge blot from this (otherwise) charming place? There is no religion where cruelty prevails; and if teachers, pastors and masters could bo induced to inculcate the principles of "humanity to animals," no finer field could be found for their energies than Colwyn Bay.—I am, etc., "A VOICE FOR THE DUMB." Colwyn Bay, September 18th, 1907.

RAPHAEL'S ALMANAC. According to the 1908 edition of this popular c almanao wo see that in March the prophet warns U8 that there will be many deaths from ptomaine poisoning, also many deaths among members of Parliament. In April the Government will be in danger of defeat. All other months are full of predictions besides a host of general informa- tion, but the great feature is the birthday in- formation, which is given for every day of the year. We oan highly recommend this almanac to all our readers as it is a useful book for the money. t

I SINGER'S LATEST SEWING MACHINE.
SINGER'S LATEST SEWING MACHINE. All dressmakers and others who run sewing machines to a large extent, without exception decide in favour of tlie treadle. The Singer Sewing Machine Co.. Ltd.. have just put upon the market a machine which they call the Singer "66," which is perfection so far as sewing mechanism is concerned. It is the most silent and perfect sewing machine yet introduced to the public. To ensure the easiest of easy running it is fitted with ball bearing wherever practicable, and is furnished on the new and fashionable golden oak cabinet, work. The table contains a central lock- ing drawer for holding the complete and improved set of attachments which is supplied free with each machine. This special attachment drawer will be found invaluable as it is practically impossible to get the attachments disarranged-there is a place for each, and each must be in its place. The machines ara made in the World's Largest Sewing Machine Factory at Kilbowie, near Glasgow, Scotland. In these huge works 12,000 British workmen are employed, and more than 23,000 complete sewing machines are turned out every week. Every woman should remember that, there are nearly 900 Singer shops and over 5,000 Singer salesmen in Great Britain and Ireland, any one of which is always at her service.
