At Ribyl, od Monday, Robert Fitzgcirald, described as a briok-setter, of Liverpool, was dhamged witih stealing cor tain joiaiere' tooife fnOTn a Muse in Ginango-road., Rhyl, on October 11th, 1906. Tine accused had, been oanreeited by P.C. Rogers, cl Rihyl, on being released from gaol, after serving 18 monilliii' hoad laibwur for houfce- breukinig at Colwytn, Bay in Octdbe,r, 1S06. Joiin Edim'UEd Hughes, soin of Coointillcr Ed- muind Hugies, of Grange-roadt, Rhyl, taid tJha4 he was ej^aiged in Ocioiber, 1906, as a joiner on hig facer's houses in G^uuge-lt'oad.

Om. Octoibca- 1906, t!he aocrased was received in cuft.odv by hiirn from, the Sheffield: police, and was taken to A fw tirial. On the way back the aoctiased asked Mn if he had heaaxl awytfiiing from R&iyl, and Wiitmeai replied that he had formaajon of a bouse broken into, and that a hammer raided from tilie-re had been foundi. Aoyu&ed theal replied: "Yee, it was me and my pal. We Hmashed the window, weirut inro the hootre, slept, tihere tlhe night, and took same tools aiway in tfoo nxwuiing. Aotnt-ed adidied) tihat he had planted" eotrnci of the tooic. in tha sand at Rhyl, but 6;ub&e<jueiitiy he Mud he sOld tIDe hammer to Mr liuigihee. John Hughee, JNiaccm, 1, High-Street, Abeirgele, said thaA <m Ootober lltih, 1906, he met the aoaucied and another man on the road betwecn Abctrgele and Uanddulae. They offered to sell him a. hammer, but he replied that, he cllld net want iit as he hlad plenty of took. Then aoaueed e companion a&kjed for something a8 tihej wciro hsucgiry, and he gave them 2di He next notioed that they had left tthe hammer on the railings, and he took posscEeion of it, hramdrling it to Inspector Bag thaw whem he asked for it. P.C. Rogers gave evidence to receivir.g ajotruted irnto custody, a.nd while waiting far tCie liraj.!i accused asked if the tools had been fouuid buried in the sandB a.t Ithyl. Wiineeo replied "No." When qearinig Rihyl he pedntted to new hcflifies on Gironge-road, a.nd eaid: "The Ihouee next to tihe laundry is. the one we 'pirif-hedf tJio iXJJs from. We broke too wa-ndow becauee the parlour was lockod." At tihe police litaa ion the acoueed looked at a large ecrewdrivetr, and said it was like tihe ome tftiCy had buried m the sands.

Accused eacd he thought it (hard lintes tihat after in pmoii; for 18 montihs he dhouid be again brtrag-ht up. Ex-inspector Bagshaw said the accused Iliad been convicted for tihe Colwyn Bay offence at the Denibi'gihshiire Assizes, and eentctn.'jed to 18 months' iimprifconm^ni fctr each cf two offenccr-, tihe- sentences to r-llln comauirrently. Clerk explained tihat the Bench could not deal wilth the case that day, a.nd that the aaeused wo'uld have to go to the Quartetr Sessions at Mold the following' day. The accused was tfhein committeed foj- triial at Mctld ctn the following day. At. the Flintshire Ouarter Sessions on Tuesday, Robert FitzgeraJd pleaded guilty to larceny of tools at Rhyl in October, 1906. Mr Trevor Lloyd (instructed by Mr F. J. Gamlin) prosecuted, and pointed out that the accused had already served 18 months' imprisonment for a like otfenee at Colwyn Bay, and he was instruc- ted not to press the case too harshly. In sentencing the prisoner to one month's hard labour, the Chairman said the Bench had taken i.nto consideration what had been said, and they hoped that when he came out of prison he would turn over a new loaf. The hoped he would never come there again. The Chairman added that the authorities would no doubt put him on the way to secure work when ho came out of gaol, and tho magistrates hoped that a young fellow like the prisoner would realise his position, and be- come a useful member of society.

ATHALIE PERFORMED AT COLWYN BAY. HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL CONCERT. AU who took part in the performance of Men- delssohn's "Athalio" at the- English Presbyter- ian Obuffidh, Oohvyni Bay, o.n Tucsduy -evening, iasi week, a.re to be oontgi1""a0u- kUed on uirKfuaJillied suct-e^ acshicvo.l. 80 fair 60 the choir was concerned the result was a no flm all triiiumph. "Atlialie" is a by no means easy work for an ordinary amateur choir, because it was corn- posed originally for dramatic representation. Thanks to the expedient of declaiming certain parts of the poem, the whole of the beautiful music may be effectively performed in the oon- cert room, but the arrangement is somewhat complicated, calling for much alertness as well as real musical ability On the part of the con- ductor. No doubt this fact accounts in some measure for the infrequency with which "Athalie" is heard. It was thereforo a risky experiment whicih Mr S. Glynne-Jones, B.A., the conductor, took up when he selected the work for the annual concert g\ven by his church choir. Happily, his confidence in his subordinates was not mis- placed. The choir, which had been augmented, entered upon their formidable task with an en- thusiasm whidh d'ld them credit. They attend- ed nearly thirty practices each of an hour itaalf in duration, and but for the excellent man- ner in which they rallied round their conductor Tuesday evening's very creditable accomplish- ment would have been impossible. Much praise is also due to the very efficient orchestra, under Prof. Wm. Davies, of Deganwy. The band in- cluded Prof. Davies (leader), Miss Roberts, Messrs H. G. Coulter and F. G. Moore, first violins Mr W. Simkin (principal), Misses Lily Roberts and GladVs Jones, with. Messrs S. Thomas and J. E. Malam, second violins; Mr E. H. Fle>et, viola; Messrs B. Fisher and W. Stephenson (Conway), 'cellos; Mr R. W. Wil- liams, contra bass; and Mr H. J. Edwards. or. g-anfst. The soloists were Miss Broadbent (Manches- ter) and Mis L. M. Burrell, sopranos, and Mrs S. Glynne Jones, contralto, each of whom bore her part very successfully. The ohoir' numbered about sixty only, but there were apparently no "stop-gaps" for with- out exception they rendered all the choruses with either refreshing vigour or fine feeling as occasion required. The parts were well bal- anced, with the exception of a trifling weakness in the tenors. The sopranos were excellent in volume, blend and quality. The altos were also rich in tone, balancing- finely with the trebles. The bass were powerful, and! the tenors good in voice if somewhat, on the weak fide in volume. Three noticoa-ble features a.bout the choir's work were enthusiasm, precision in attack, and the faultless tone maintained tnroug-houfc. The openings bars of the first chorus. "Heaven and the earth display," struck a delightful keynote which was retained with uncommon success dur- ing the evening. It-would b3 difficult to select the best rendered dhorus, but choir, orchestra, and particularly the conductor are to be very heartily commended upon the manner in which the alternative short choruses preceding the "War Maffh of the Priests" were interpreted. Herein lay the real trouble confronting an amateur choir, but Mr Glynne Jones and his party emerged from the test with distinct cre- dit, as they did, indeed, from the whole per- formance. Miss Elsie Coulter, the narrator, Mr J. El- lis Williams as "Joad," and Miss C. Williams as "Saiomith" also deserve a meed of praise for their respective parts during the evening. The entertainment was presided over by Mr T. JC. Purdy, who spoke a few sentences of well- merited praise in reference to the accomplished conductor and his. subordinates, and at the close all were cordially thanked on the motion of Mr Purdy, seconded by the popular pastor (Rev. John Edwards). The concert was preceded by an appetising tea, served in the vestry by a number of in- dustrious ladies associated with the church.

I RYDAL MOUNT SPORTS. A NUMBER OF INTERESTING EVENTS. CLOSE FINISHES IN FOOT RACES. The annuaJ athletic sports which took place on Saturday in connection with the Rydal Mount School, Oolwyn Bay, were as successful as any held previously. Fortunately, the wea- ther, if somewhat cold for the spectators, was delightful from the competitors' point of view, for the sunshine was not too bright, and the turf was in capital running condition. There was a fashionably-attired assembly to Witness the proceedings. Trie arrangements were excellent. With the exception of a dhort interval about 4 p.m. for tea, there was not amonionts unnecessary delay from start to finish, and in this matter Mr G. F. A. Osborn, the clerk of the course, might wet! be emulated by promoters of similaryellts in North Wales. Steward's Berry, Johnston, Henwocd, Lancaster, and J. Wood are to be congratulated upon the assistance they render- ed Mr Osborn. The highly-estemed headmaster, Mr T. G. Osborn, M.A., was, as hitherto, president of the proceedings, and the judging was carried out by Messrs J. Deaville, li. Cajnenzind, W. W. Key, and B. J. Harris, while Mr A. M. Ferguson and Mr J. A. Laino were starter and! time- keeper respectively. As usual, tiao programme was too long fcr one day. '.three events and a number of heats in other competitions had been decided on the previous Thursday. The three contests referred to were the open mile race, throwing the cricket ball and kicking the football. The first was won by Johnston in 5m. 25s., after a ra.re struggle with A. K. Lan- caster, who took second. I'rvee-Jones made a good third. "A.K." was again defeated in throwing the cricket ball, Henwood proving victorious in that event, but lie easily held1 his own with the foot,ball, Henwood occupying second place. In several instances on Saturday the finishes were exceedingly close, but in all cases the live- liest interest centred in the results. For the purpose of school games the school is divided into four "clubs"—Barbarians, Corinthians, Crusaders, and Nondoeæripts-nd the rallying cries of the respective "club" members were" in- spiriting. CHAMPIONSHIPS. For the club championship points wete award- ed in certain events, and this year the "Sports Cup" was awarded to the "Crusadiers," who had a. very good aggregate. The "Corinthians, however, captured the "Bedroom Cup." A championship medal, presented by Mr John L. Barker for the largest individual score, throughout too two days was well won by the irrepressible A. K. Lancaster, who, though he did not display such good form in some events as last year. asserted his all-round superiority. Johnston, who proved too great a harmful for him in two if not three of t-he foot events, is not a styiish runner, but he has a cool head, plenty of stamina, and a rare turn of speed, particularly over long distances. A very attrac- tive runner who doserved better success than he achieved is Sutclifle. He performed remark- ably well twelve months ago, but this year he has developed into a really smart athlete. His running in the first, heat of the 220 yards open handicap and in the hurdle race was one of the features of the afternoon. J. Wood, another favourite, conceded! him five yards in the former event, but Sutci-ine cantered home as' fresh as the proverbial daisy quite eight yards ahead ot Wood. Hone, who was second in the same heat, is also a very promising runner, and it was not surprising to see him win the final. Pryce-Jones and Porter will be heard of again all being well. The best time in the 100 yards event was 11 1-5 by J. Wood. THE DETAILS. The results in detail were as follow:— 100 yards A.: 1, W. II. Bunting; 2, Sutcliffe. —tcme, 11 2-5.

RYDAL MOUNT (PAST) v. RYDAL MOUNT (PRESENT). An annual event wthich is eagerly anticipated: by ttae schokics of Rydial Mount is the encoutrtcfr at "foollctr"" between teams representative of pa6t and present "boyp." Some exceptionaliy fine gaitnee have been fought on the school gmound, but of Ja.'r.?I years the staniina of tihe "Preterit" haD utood tlhemi in good stead, and they have a pirepcxnd'eranco of wans in tlhedr favo-ur. It was with every confidence of addiirug to their successes that they took the field cm Monday. The "Pnc- &lnlt" were without Darlington at back, Fortt-er being1 dirattedi in tIo fili tihel vacaaicy. On the other hand, the "Ancients" weire but poorly re- presented, and had to introduce two masters to make up cteven. The pfayort) lined up as lbilows:- "Pai.lt."—Fctnnyhcmgh, goal; H. Smith and Mr CaaninatfitJ1, backs; N. R. Lancaster, Warner, and L. James, hail-vee; Mr Laine, Nunin, Rogetr Lewi's, C. V. Lewis, and; T. V. Lewis, forwards. llp.rlwenft.11-W. 0. Lancaster, goal; Heawood and Forster, backs; Berry, S. Johnson^ and Bannsley, halves; Sutcliffe, Leslo, Pryoe JoneB. A. K. Lancaster (capt.), and J. Wood, forwards. The "Old Boiys" won the tose, and the Colleg- iamB opeined towardii the Brackloy House goal. The vitfifcare wtero the first to prefs, and Nwim juefc fanled bty inchee, wriUh a tremendous shot. Play railed tairnc thereafter (Clra whiic. During one incursion into his opponents' tcirritory, Sut- oliffe nulled a beautiful openeng. He atoned for it, (howeTefr1, .a.1mœt iimimediate'V afterwards with a good wtbeer.pt, wCuich N. R. Lanicaeter was for- tunate wi heading; away. The "Present" weire now ihioidtnrug the upper hand-, but aJtlhough open- inge weire niade they could not be forced hcane. J. Wood put in a. good shot, wfiuich Fernyhough cleared. T(he next item of interert was an iinr dependenit run by Leale, which he mac-red by kioking over. After same excha<ages, Mr LaAne found himself well placed, wiihh only the custo- dian to beat, but he skied tihø balll. Thetre was no demying that the tactics of the "Present" were far superior to those of their opponents, but they failed to utilise "their openings. Haif-time ar- rived with the score:—"Past," nil; "Preeent," I nil. In the o,pe"W stages of the second moiety, each end was quickly visited in tiuirnis. The efforts of the "Present" were nulltikdl to a great eTctein.t by tlbc good back play of Mr Gaminza.nd, who was kicking cleanfy and strongly. The cries of the scholars airouwd the line fa.iled1 to rouse tftie "Present" to amythanig like tiheir utiua'l form,' and as a rcrauft 'the "Paf.t" weire. the first to too re. C. V. Lewis ilhoit and'W. O. clcaredl, but with a reoma.rk.aibie overhead kick, Roger Lewis found the net. This was followed almost immediately by a second from JameB. The "Present." were now tfrioroutg'Mly rouned, a-nd oomsueinoed to thow their true form. They attacked in hue, and Sut- cliffe receiving made no mistake with a irare ELIOI*- This roused them to further- efforts, and several shots were rained in, but the net could not bo found, audi time arrived witih the score: — "Poast," two; "Present," one. NOTES. The fnesult was in no way anticipated, past re- f.ulta having led the "Present" to believe that thiey had an e v7 tihing on. For the losers, W. O. Lancaster, in goal, wag golod, and could not be blamed for the goals scored. The backs were far from high-wateir mark, Forster in panticular feickiiHg weaMy. It was the half line whicfa ^was tftie strength of the team. Bamsley was undotftyi- ediy the "star" of the iine, and he fairiy held tih4e opposing wing in check. He wee oleeely fol- lowed by Johneboffi, with Berry just a little be- Mnd. The forwards were uciootmmonly weak. There wiae a wa.nt of odheaion, aimongst them. J. Wood was good, amd put in several smart runs and tskilfui centres. A. K. was for once below par, and couiWi db. nothing right. Pryce. Jones amid Leale are both tricky players, but they carry mdjependeint pfay tola far. Sutcliffe was second to J. Wood, altliougih he missed several openings, bled. Of the backs, Mr Caminzand was by for bled.

A vote of condolence was passed with the family of tihe late Mr Mark Cross, the member for Llanddulas, on the motion of the Chairman, seconded bv Mr J. D. Jones. THE HOSPITAL COMMITTEE. The Rev. Lodwick Ellis was appointed on the Joint Hospital Committee in the place of the late Mr Cross. MEDICAL OFFICER ON A "LIVING WAGE." The MedicalOfticer of Health (Dr. Lloyd Ro- berts) wrote applying for an increase of salary, stating that in 1873 his salary was JE90. but owing to agricultural depression it was retruced in 1880 to £70. Afterwards his salary was ap- portioned between the two Councils. He now asked the Council to double his present salary 01 JB38, and he also asked for travelling and office expenses. He thought that they should pay a. living wage. The Chairman said he was under the impres- sion that they had appointed the medical offi- cer for another year at the same terms at their last meeting. The Clerk saidl that was so. Mr Joon Roberts proposed that they should consider the matter in time. The Rev. Lodwick Ellis proposed that the Clerk should write to the Dr. stating that if the Dr. would send m his resignation they would consider the matter. Mr John Roberts withdrew his motion, and that of the Rev. Lodwick Ellis was agreed to. A BAD ROAD. Colonel Howard, C.B.. wrote complaining ot the bad state of the road from Pontralltgocn to Wig-fair Hall. It was stated that the damage was due to the timber traffic passing over the road'. After a short discussion, tue Council decided to repair the road temporarily until the timber traffic is finished. UNEMPLOYMENT AND FARM COLONIES. A letter was read from the St. Alban's Rural District Council in favour ot dealing with the unemployed in a national manner by establish- ing farm colonies. The Rev. Lodwick Ellis said he thought it was time something was done. The number of vagrants had increased to an alarming extent. Mr Thos. Evans said he thought they had bet- ter leave the ma.tter alone. It would only mean the appointing of another official, who would want an increase of salary every fortnight or so (laughter). The letter Was laid on the table. THE HUMANE SLAUGHTERING OF ANIMALS. A letter was read from the Local Government Board suggesting oertain regulations for the humane slaughtering of animals. Mr Thos. Evans said he knew of no cruelty except in the slaughtering of calves, which was "a most pitiful sight." The letter was laid on the table. TREFNANT SCHOOL WATER SUPPLY. A letter was read from Major Birch in refer- ence to the water supply to the Trefnant schools, stating that if the matter was not at- tended to soon the health of the scholars would be jeopardised. The Parish Council had met a deputation from their Council, and had decided that the best thing would be a tank at the scihool, which should be connected with a ser- vice pipe fromi the main. This scheme would cost about £25. T!hc Clerk explained that the parish of Tref- nant would have to pay for the work. Mr John Roberts suggested that the school authorities should be made to pay for it. The Clerk replied that tihey could hardly ex- pect tOOt. On the motion of tine Rev. LodSvick Ellis, it was decided to adopt the recommendation as above. LLANNEFYDD ROADS. A letter was read from the Llannefydd Par- ish. Council stating that the ro-ads in the western portion of the parish were in a very bad state. The Surveyor (Mr Davies) said the roads were cut up by timber hauling, whicih would go on till the middle of tho summer. Mr T'n08. Salusbury st.Id they felt at Llan- nefydol that the Council was not dealing with them fairly, and the cctnplaint was that the roads in the eastern portion of the parish were kept in a much bettor state 01 repair than those in the -west. Mr Wm. Jones said there had been a great many complaints about these roads. The Survevor was instructed to attend to tihe matter. NO EXPENDITURE ON ABERGELE ROADS ( A letter was read from the Abergele Parish Council, asking tihe Council for a reply to their request that the roads fro)m Plas Ucha to Moel- fre a.nd' from Siambcr Wen to Penycoed be re- paired. Mr J. D. Jones proposed that, as they had not repaired these roads for years past that they did not do so now. He objected to spend- ing a half-penny on tfiieni. Mr Rees proposed that t\1J.e letter be left Oil the table, and Mr J. D. Jones seconded. Mr John Roberts proposed that they put the paths in ordler, so tha.t people could walk on them. They were "too soft to walk on as they were now. Mr Thos. Salusbury seconded the amend- ment. On a division the amendment was lost, and the letter was laid on the table. INCREASED RATES. TBie Clerk submitted the estimates for the next half year, and informed the Council that the- rate would bo an £ d higher than last time owing to the expenditure on the Cefn roads. the raw would be 5Jd instead of 5d. On the motion of the Chairman, seconded by Thos. Salusbury, the clerk's figures were adon- ted.

AEHYL FIRM'S APPEAL. STRANGE DEATH OF A BAKER. A QUESTION OF ACCIDENT OR SUICIDE, In the Court of Appeal, to-day wlek, be- fore the Master of the Rolls and Lords Justices Moulton and Buckley, .there came on for hearing the appeal of the respon- dents from an order made under the W ork- men's Compensation Act of the County Court judge (Portmadoc and Festiniog) in the case of M 'Kay v. E, B. Jones and Co. Mr Cuthbert Smith and Mr G oldie ap- peared for the respondents, who were the appellants, and Mr Greayes Lord for the applicants, who were the relatives of the deceased workman, M'&ay. Mr Cuthbert Smith, in opening the case, said he appeared in support of the appeal on behalf of E. B. Jones and Co., of Rhvl. who were the respondents in the court be- low. The deceased man had been in the employment of the respondents, and was found dead in their bakehouse on Decem- ber 18th, 1907. The man was found dead under very strange circumstances, and the learned County Court judge, in giving his judgment, appeared to have said that be- cause the respondents had not been able to prove that this man was guilty of hav- ing committed suicide, therefore he the death to be the result of an accident a.nd aa the result of an aocadem arising out of the man's employment. He submitted that the learned judge mis- directed himself completely. The evidence showed, said counsel, that the man was found dead on the work table with a gas tubing under his shoulders, and the gas brac- ket turned full on. There was no evidence that the man had actually done anything. Mr Lord said the suggestion was that the man was leaving the dough to be sufficiently fallen before putting it into the oven. Mr Smith said the tubing, which had been proved to be the cause of death, was not required on that particular morning. His point was that the learned judge took the view that as the respondents had not proved that the man had committed sui- cide, therefore the man's death was the re- sult of an accident arising out of his em- ployment. He submitted that the learned judge had arrived at a wrong conclusion. "Without calling upon counsel for the rela- tives of the deceased workman. The Master of the Rolls, in giving judg- ment, said that he saw no reason to inter- fere with the award of the Couny Court judge. It seemed to him that the judge was quite right in drawing the inference from the facte that the accident arose out of and during the course of his employment. The appeal would therefore be dismissed. Lords Justices Moulton and Buckley con- curred, and the appeal was accordingly disr missed.
