Successful North Wales Festivals. Eisteddfodau at Rhyl, Penmachno, Old Colwyn, Eglwysbach, Llanfairfechan and Talybont. WELSH BAPTISTS' EISTEDDFOD AT RHYL. RECORD NUMBER OF ENTRIES. KEEN COMPETITIONS. Despite the faot that the accommodation was limited in the Town Hall, Rhyl, the Eisteddfod held there on Boxing Day was a great success, for many years the friends of the Weisli Baptist Church, Water-street, Rhyl, have organised like gatherings on Boxing Day, and trney naturally felt some anxiety as to this year's meeting, owing to the fact that t-ho destruction of the Queen's Palace rendered it necessary to hold the meetings in another building. Fortunately, the Town Hall was available, and Mr W. Parry, who had charge of the arrangements, loot no time in securing the building.. The whole of the arrangements for the Eis- teddfod were carried out in a most satisfactory maimer by a committee, of which the Rev. Gomer Evans was chairman, Mr Williams (Cym- ro Cybi) was hon. treasurer, and Messrs Parry and Jones secretaries. The meetings were conducted by Llifon, and the adjudicators were as follows:—Music, Mr W. T. Samuel, L.T.S.C.; poetry, Llifon; essays, Rev. A. J. l'arry. D.D., and Pedr Mostyn; re- citations, Huwco Penmaen, Gwespyr and Llifon; arts, Mr R. Rhydderoh, H.M.I., Mra T. D. Jones and Mm Storey. The accompa-nist was Mr Bryan Warhurst, A.R.C.M. As regards the various oompetitions, thoso re- sponsible for the Eisteddfod are to be congratu- lated on the excellence of the whole programme. It was undoubtedly the best literary and musical festival this committee has organised, and there was much keenness in the various contests. In the choral competitions each of the competitors did exceedingly well, but Old Colwyn was easily first. Noxt to them the rendering, in Welsh, by the Ffy.nnongroew Choir was most delightful, and the audience applauded heartily. The mixed choir from the same district, at the even- ing meeting, also gave a good account of them- selves. In the solo singing the renderings were above the average, and as regards the juveniles, Master T. H. of Rhyl (a well known prize- winner), proved himself to be a clever artiste. AFTERNOON MEETING. MALE VOICE CHORAL CONTEST. Mr T. D. Jones (chairman of tho Rhyl Coun- cil) was president at the afternoon meeting. In the course of his opening address, he said it was evident that the Town Hall was not large enough for a gathering of that sort. and ho was cure that they would all be pleased to learn that when they met .next year it would be in the new grand pavilion on the sea front (ap- plause). Ho congratulated tho organisers of the Eisteddfod on the great success that had at- tended it, the entries this year being the largest on record, and exceeded 400 (applause). It was gratifying to see the Eisteddfod holding such an abiding and firiyi hold on the hearts of the peo- ple of Wales. The Eisteddfod had done a great deal for the nation, and he hoped that it would continue to mainlain its high character as a real national institution. In spite of the many changes that had taken place in Wales the Eis- teddfod retained its hold upon the people- While it moved and awakened the life of the people it had to be remembered that the Eis- teddfod did not only exist for the winning of prizes and affording enjoyment (hear, hear). It existed to elevate and instruct, and to bring to the front the talents of the people (applause). He hoped that the Eisteddfod would ever con- tinue to exercise that elevating influence on the minds of the young people (applause). The awards were as follows:— Pianoforte and violin duct ("Men of Har- lech") First pri;ro equally divided between Miss M. M. Griffiths and Master T. F. Griffiths, Free Trade Hall, Rhyl, and Miss S. C. Jones and Master T. H. Jones, Abbey-street. A second prize was awarded to Miss A. M. Parry a.nd Master H. L. Parry. Abbey-street. Mr Samuel, in giving his adjudication on the above, said he was glad to find that tho youth of Wales were studying orchestral music, but, unfortunate- ly, everyone wanted to learn the violin. Juvenile solo (mpder 16). "The Children's Home:" 1, Master T. H. Jones, Abbey-street, Rhyl; 2, Miss Jennie Jones. Colwyn Bay. Mr Samuel, in speaking of the competitors, pointed out that the winner, unlike most Welsh boys did not shout the top notes. Shouting on the top notes was one of the faults of Welsh boys singers, but they never heard anything of that kind with the choristers in the Cathedrals, whoso style of singing should be more closely followed. As regards the second prize-winner, he felt that ehe hadt the making of a good singer, if her training was carefully attended to. Recitation (under 15) "British FreedomI, M Lily Ward; 2, Master J. Percival Jones, I Rhyl. Recitation. "Welwch Chwi Fi?" (under t5 years): 1, Master Howel Jones, Rhewl Fawr, Ffvnnongroew; 2, Miss Laura Jenkins, Fcetiniog.

Two children's choirs competed in "The Child's Love." viz., Colwyn Bay St. Paul's Juvenile Choir (conducted by Mr E. E. Evans). and Rhvl St. Ann's Band of Hope (conductor, Mr A. Hill). The first prize, went to the Colwyn Bay choir, and on the recommendation of the adjudicator a second prize was awarded to the St. Ann's choir. Mr R. Evans, Cybi. Llancvbi, took the first prize for the poem "Y Dvn Hwyrfrydig," and for the englvn "Y Gwleidvddwr." In the oliiof choral competition (male voices), "The Crusaders," the contestants were: Crewe Apollo Male Voice Prize Choir, conductor. Mr J. Stjbbs: Rhyl Glee Madrieal Society, conduc- tor. Mr T. Amos Jones; Gorsedd and District Male Voice Choir, conductor, Mr C. Lewis JoYies; Old Colvyn Male Voice Choir, conductor, Mr Pa-rv; and the Ffvnnongroew and District Male Voice Choir, conductor, Mr T. Williams. The competition was excellent i.n every respect, and the adjudicator, in awarding the prize to the Old Colwvn Choir, said he had never listened to a more inspiring rendering. He compli- mented the conductor on the singing of aome of the finoft passages, which were excellently worked out. The two other choirs worthy of mention were the Crewe and Ffvnnongroew.

THE PROPOSED NEW COUNCIL SCHOOL AT PENMACHNO. RATEPAYERS IN REVOLT. At a public meeting of the ratepayers held in the National School, on Monday, and presided over by Mr John Lloyd Morris, Yswyfrith (vice-chairman of the Geirionydd District Council), the following resolution was passed, with but three dissentients "That we, ratepayers of the Parish of "Penmachno, in the County of Carnarvon, "in a public meeting assembled in the "Church Schools, Penmachno, on Monday, "December 30th, 1907, at 7.15 p.m., desire to protest against proceedings to build a "new school in the parish, except on the "distinct understanding that the fuil amount for building such school be re- y'ceived from the Government's Special v Grant, according to the explicit pledge "given when certain parents from the par- ish signed a petition lately forwarded to the Board of Education." The resolution has been forwarded to the Board of Education, Whitehall, S.W., and to the Secretary, Education Office, Carnar- von, signed by the Chairman of the meet- i iig. Fifty of the heaviest direct ratepayers L. the parish have also sent a strongly-worded protest against erecting a Council school. Amongst the reasons given are :— (1). That there is more than sufficient ac- commodation already provided in the pre. sent school buildings. (2). That much expense has been incurred during the last few years on these buildings to meet the requirements of the Local Edu- cation Authority. (3). That other undertakings such as the Cwm Water Works arc at present pressing heavily on the ratepayers, and will do so the more in the immediate future. (4). That the parish has for some years been groaning under unprecedented trade depression. el (5). That the continual emigration of families renders the burden more crushing to those who remain. (6). That in another year the probability is that the education difficulty will be finally settled, and that this parish with others will obtain what is desired without plung- ing the parish into the unnecessary expense of erecting a new Council School.

THE JANUARY MAGAZINES. Tho January- "Windsor Magazine" is a not- Sible Now Year issue, showing no falling off from the lavish value a.nd variety of the recent Christmas Number. It contains the second, com- plete story in the new series in. which Sir Gil- bert Parker, M.P., returns to the Canadian local oolour with which his earliest successes were identified; and a delightful story, complete in the ono number, by F. Marion Crawford. Other distinguished writers who contribute short stories aro Justus Miles Forroan, Ormo Agnus, W. A. M. Goode, and Frances Rivers; and the strange career of Robert Barr's new hero, "Young Lord Stranlcigh," is carried a stage further with another complete episode. Barry Pain is represented in his most whimsical mood.. The articles include a most interesting ac- count by Sir Ha.rry H. Johnston, G.C.M.G., K.C.B., of the suppression of the slave-trade in British Central Africa, which is accompanied by some very striking illustrations, and Charles G. D. Roberts contributes another of his fascinat- ing studies of animal life. "Photographing Speech" is the title of a paper on the latest experiments in this direction, whicth is accom- panied by many illustrations of the technicalities of this remarkable process; and the fine art fea- ture of the number is entitled "Some Themes from History and Romance," and includes many admirable reproductions of notable pictures by Seymour Lucas, R.A., Frank Dicbseie, R.A., and other distinguished artiste. Altogether the number is one of I- infinite variety, effectively ilitis- trafred by much admirable art. "PEARSON'S MAGAZINE."—Tho January numlber of "Pearson's Magazine" is a good one, with some articles of unusual interest and many readable short, stories. Old age is probably the most "paintablo" period in life from several points of view, and many painters have made it the subject of their pictures. A selection from the more famous of these wo reproduce in "Old Age in Art," which is the art feature this month. "Twice Round the World in a Motor" is an interesting article dealing with one of the most remarkable journeys ever made. In this tour Mr Glidden drove 50,000 miles througih fifty countries, and he relates many of the curious ex- periences he had in parts where a motor-car had never been seen before. How to keep healtihy is a problem which is continually before the notioe of peoplo in every walk of life, and is one which it is by no means easy to find an answer to. Special interest attaches, therefore, to tho views of the celebrities oontained in the article, "Royal Roads to Health," which is pub- lished this month. It is interesting to read the history of the extraordinary men who have made drees the study of their lives, and in "Famous Fops" the life-story of many famous men who are noted for innovations of fashion is related. Many amusing anecdotes are included in. the article, which is fully illustrated. Apart from the articles there are many good stories, includ- ing another adventure of Joseipfh, a dancing bear. "The Parting of the Clouds" is a path- etic love story, and, "A Knight Errant" is full of interest. A simple story of the Far West, "A Gentle Conspiracy," is included, and there is a further instalment of Rider Haggard's striking new serial, "The Ghost Kings."

MEBIONETH QUARTER I SESSIONS IMMORALITY IN NORTH WALES. The Merioneth Quarter Sessions were held at Dolgelley, on Tuesday, before Mr Osmond Williams, M.P., chairman, Mr Munro Edwards, vice-chairman, and other magistrates. Reference was made to the absence of the Lord Lieutenant through ill-health, and hopes were expressed for his speedy re cevery. A NEGLIGENT COMMITTEE. Before proceeding with the business of tl. court, Mr John Humphreys, solicitor, Pcrtmadoc, asked the Chairman's permis- sion to enter a strong protest against the I dilatoriness of the Compensation Authority. I his was the second occasion on which he had been put to great inconvenience to at- tend, only to find that there were not sufficient members to form a quorum. It was not just or fair. The Chairman said he was not at all sur- prised at Mr Humphreys's protest. It was a thing to be greatly deplored that magis- trates did not take more interest in county affairs. Mr Lloyd (Raggat), a member of the I compensation authority, said he had come from a great distance that morning, and he was greatly disappointed that there were not sufficient members present to proceed with business. VISITING JUSTICES. Mr Foulkes Jones, Corwen, and Mr R. S. Wayne, Corwen, were appointed mem bers of the Joint Visiting Committee to Ruthin Prison, and Mr R. J. Morris, Ty Cerrig, and Dr. Roberts, Festiniog were appointed on the Visiting Committee to Carnarvon Prison. CHIEF CONSTABLE'S REPORT. The Chief Constable (Mr Thomas Jones) presented his quarterly report, which show- ed that 1,334 vagrants were relieved at the casual wards, as against 1,247 in the corres- pondinc quarter, an increase of 87. He at. tributed the increase to the influx of bona- fide working-men on their way to Llanrwst in search of employment at the new works. There was a slight decrease in the number of persons proceeded against for drunken- ness and simple larceny. WHITE GLOVES AGAIN. As there were no prisoners to be tried the chairman was presented by the Under Sheriff (Mr J. C. Hughes) with a pair of white gloves, for which he returned thanks. NORTH WALES MORALS. Before discharging the Grand Jury the Chairman said he had received a letter from the Lord Lieutenant which he desired to put before the Quarter Sessions, contain- ing a resolution by a Denbighshire g-entle- man to the eflect That there is urgent need to establish an organisation to com- bat the immorality that prevails in North Wales and to provide preventive and rescue measures for the protection of women such as exists in South Wales and in parts of England." He thought that everyone was desirous of doing everything to combat im- morality, but he repudiated stronglv the suggestion that that curse was prevalent in North Wales (hear, hear). He did not think the resolution was needed, coming as it did from an Englishman in another county. A MOTORIST'S APPEAL. Mr John Vernon Pugh, managing director of the Rudge-Whitworth Company, Coventry, appealed against* a decision of the Dolgelley magistrates. On the 1st October the appellant was fined £;5 and costs for driving a motor car to the danger of the public. Mr R. M. Montgomery (in- structed by Messrs Woodcock and Co.), ap- peared for the appellant, and Mr Guthrie Jones (Dolgelley) for the respondent jus- tices. The appeal was dismissed with costs.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A EHiJU luUiH. BOUND OVER AT THE QUARTER SESSIONS. At the Flintshire Quarter Sessions, held at Mold, before Mr t\ P. Pennant (chair- man), Messrs J. H. Ellis, G. A. Taverner, T. D. Jones. Jacob Jones, and other magis- trates, Richard Grosvenor surrendered to his bail on. a charge of entering his uncle's butcher's shop, at Russell-road. Rhyl, and stealing therefrom the sum of £ 12 15s. Mr Trevor Lloyd (instructed by Mr F. J. Gamlin) prosecuted, and Mr Owen Roberts (instructed by Mr Joseph Lloyd) defended. The prisoner pleaded guilty to stealing the money, and not guilty" to the charge of entering the premises. Mr Trevor Lloyd outlined the case, and remarked that the butcher's shop belonging to Mr John Roberts, of Lleweni, was lock- ed up on a Friday night. On the Saturday morning, however, it was found that an entrance had been effected through tfie back window, and that the cash till, which had been left locked on the counter, was mis- sing, and with it the money left there over- night. The broken cash-till was found in a back lane. The prisoner was suspected, and questioned (after being cautioned) on his return from Chester and Mold. He de- nied all knowledge of the theft, but, later on, on being asked to account for what he had spent, gave such answers that justified Inspector Pearson in arresting him. The prisoner then confessed, and stated where he had hidden the larger portion of the money, which was subsequently found in the crate of his bedroom. Mr Owen Roberts said the prisoner had had some drink on the night of the robbery. and went to his uncle's shop to sleep off the effects, not caring to go home in that state. When in the shop he saw the till in an un- protected state, and yielded to a sudden temptation. He was very sorry for what he had done, and promised to turn over a new leaf. Mr Roberts urged that the prisoner might be dealt with as a first offender. Mr John Roberts, uncle of the accused, gave him a very good character, and said that since the occurrence the lad had lived at his house. His aunt had the greatest faith in him, and would entrust him wi.h any amount of monev. Witness was also ready to become surety for the accused. Mr H. A. Tilby said he had known the prisoner for about twelve vcars, during six of which he had been a pupil in his school. Until this affair he had looked upon the lad as a model boy." The Chairman said the Bench had given the matter caref A consideration, and but for the fact that he mt received such a good characer, they would have felt inclined to deal with him severely. As his uncle, who was the real prosecutor had spoken on prisoner's behalf, and taking into account that fact that the larger portion of the money had beenTcturned. they would bind the prisoner over to come up for judgment if called upon within six months, the surety being in A10. The Chairman also com- mented on the fact that such a large sum of money should be left in an unprotected till in the shop, which was a lock-up one. The prisoner was then discharged, and his uncle became surety for him.

GLAN CONWAY JOTTINGS. (From a Correspondent.) A COUNTRY PANTOMIME. T Wha,t! Surely, any eyes did not deceive me! Yet, upon approaching nearer to the poster an. E-Ouncicg the vieit of LewiW Celebrated Pamo- mime Company, I soon verified the fact that my ocular sense had, for once at any rate, con- veyed a truthful impression. I instantly deter- mined to spend one or two enjoyable evenings. Hence, on the opening night, 1 wetndoo my way with difficulty through the crowds that were clamouring excitedly for admission to the hall. At length, arriving breathlessly at the stage-door, I eÐ.Tht in my card, and was soon ushered by a dainty young damsel into the awful (?) pres- erwc of the manager and organiser of this note- worthy entertainment. 1 was dazzled for tb -D moment, and thought that even Solomon, ar- rayed in all his glory, never surpassed the en. chanting scene presented by Mr .Lewis and nis performere. The entertainment had been got up irrespective of cxpn, and thoroughly do- served the excellent patronage it received. T" « » Tho dreeses of the performers were really beautiful, and the scenic effects splendid. From beginning to end the audiejice were kept in an intensely .humorous vein. The programme was an exceptionally long one, and everything in- dicated the amount of time and trouble de- voted to the preparations. The dances were remarkably well performed, and the tuneful mekdies yet linger pleasantly in my ears. The first performance took plaoe on the 3Lst of Do- cember, and was continued on the 1st January (New Year's Day), and to-night (Thursday), Co « • GLAN CONWAY GUILD OF LADY WORKERS. Too little is evidently known of that devoted band of lady workers who, for a year or two, have been silently and unostentatiously work- ing for the bene tit. ot the poorer members of our community. Our local members form a branch of the North Cambrian Guild of Needle- work, and include the following ladies:—Mrs Jones Mortimer, Bryneisteddfod; Mrs Hughes, Tyisa; Mrs Rogers Jones, Rhianfa; Mrs Wil- liams, Rectory; Mrs Cheetham, Riverside; Mrs Clough, Hollie-s; Mrs &:hb, Oak Leigh; Mrs Evara, Cartrefle; Mrs Hind, Rose Villa; Mrs Jones, Station House; Mrs Mellor, Plas Tirion; and Miss Brittain, Brynygynog. Through the instrumentality of these good ladies, the num- ber of garments of a good, substantial charac- ter distributed recently amongst, the poor was 120, whilM, the amounit of money expended up- on boots for distribution a.mon.g deserving chil- dren attending the day schools was thirty shil- lings. To one and all of the ladies concerned in this noble work, unsrinted praiiso is due, and they have the heartfelt thank& of the general community. » FFORDDLAS EISTEDDFOD. A successful Eisteddfod was held at Ffordd- las Baptist Chapel, on Boxing Day, under the distinguished patronage of Mr J. Herbert. Ro- berta, M.P., and Mr J. Roberts, Manchester. The musical adjudicator was Mr John li. Ro- berts, A.C., Penmachno, whilst Mias S. Edwards ("Alaivcs Gwynedd"), of Conway, efficiently acted as the accompanist, and 'ld- wal," in his capacity as outi-auctor, kept tlie audiences in good hu-rnour afternoon and even- ing. The Revs. T. Evans and W. Davits vtjre also conspicuous in their efforts to ccing tho proceedings to a successful issue. Mr Rogers Jones, of Rhianfa, Glia Conway, made an admirable president, and the short apeech he delivered at. one stage ml.S by no means the least interesting feature the pic*, coedings. Referring to the lengthy p:t.grunune to 'be dealt with, he stated that. it was not his object to make any encroachment upon their valuable time, but he desired to exp.e:^ his heartfelt wish that the EistodiMod v.oul-u piovs a. t?uooess, not only from a literary and musical standpoint, but from a financial point of view, which, alter all, was extremely ietsir ible. T he holding of these local eistoddfodau bad his en- tire sympathy and euipport, .seeing :Uat they were really tho nursery ground of that nobie iiietitutiom, which Welshmen are so proud of, the National Eisteddfod of Wales. He earnestly trusted that., among some of the competitors in the various ocwii'peiit.ionA, some one or more of them would so persevere and plod along that some day in the near future they would be aiblo to carry off tho palm of victory on the plat- form of the premier institution. The Eistedd- fod wao pre-eminently an educational institu- tion, and had not been inaptly described as the "poor man's university." Consequently it was Welshmen's imperative duty to foster arid sup- port everything connected therewith, not. only by putting their shoulders to the wheel, but alao by putting their hands in their pockets, seeing that it was absolutely impossible to carry on their meetings without the necessary pecuni- ary aids (applause). » » The following were some of the successful competitors: — Recitation: Miss Gwladys Thomas. Englvrt: Gwilym Elwy, Llanfair. Soprano solo: Miss Jones, Conway. Duet Messrs L. and W. Williams. Ta.ble centre: Miss Hughes, Cilglasau. Gloves: Mrs Owen, Llanrwet.

After returning from ork Porth Trendyn Farm, Mr Hu^h ¡lbams, lanybryn, got his supper, and dropped to sleep near the fire.

Some of the children came in, and, not seeing their mother there, woke their father, anj asked him where she was- He was sur- prised that she was not in the house. As there was no particular reason why she should have gone out of the house at that time of night, Mr Williams went out tv search for her. He was informed by Mrs Catherine Griffith, the shop, that the latt;r had seen Mrs Williams going in the direc- tion of Porth Trondyn (which is about a quarter of a mile from the village, and on the hip-h road).
