The Swinton C.C., accompanied by several ladies and gentlemon, visited Llanrwst on Frtday in bril- liant weatiier. The home club were weakened through the absence of Blackwall, Hayes, Rev. D. Alban Lloyd, and Cruwys. The game developed- into the most ex- citing exhibition wrtlksFed i n the Gwydr grounds this year. The visitors, who went in first. commenced with Hove* and Walkden, the latter falling to the first delivery of the match, beinz lbw to Skipper Jenkins' elusive ball. One for U. Pickering joined Boyes, both piuyi'ig steadily until the latter had h's off stump knocked out "f the ground by Orton bowl- ing from the BeUws end. Two for 22. Tongue, the next player, after sustaining tw-j of Orton's deliveries, fell a victim to the pro's thi-Ki ball. Three for 22. Eawlinsun. the next man, hooii lost Pickering, who was tempted by Jenkinj to litt the bail to Carter, who heid. Four for 23. Entwistle filled the ga.p. l'acke bowied for Jenkins, and experienced hard luck, Continually beating the batsmen, but failing to reach the wickets by inches. Both men took up the score gradually, and reached the half century, when Rawlm- gon w.is clean bowled by Orton. The uext mall, It. Davies, pfayed a steady game, but lost Entwistle, who was caught and b'¡wlcd by Orton at 0*3. He was then joined by Birch, l'acke g.ving way to Jenkins at the Bpt tw .ell"d and Ashley for Orton at the town end. The so .re was increased to 73, when Davies, hitting out at one of Ashley's deliveries, called upon his partner to run, the ball was brilliantly lie'.iied by Jenkins, who sent in a dead shot, which knocked the wickets down before Birch reached "home." Seven fur.73. The game was at this period adjourned for lunch. On resuming, Ort^ni bowled from the Bettws end. and Jenkins from the to4n end. W. Davies now joined his namesake. The partnership proved remun- erative, W. Davies being put to Jenkins at 95. Tay- lor entered the arena, but lost R. Davies, who was run out off Orton, l'acke smartly picking up the ball and returning to Finchett, who knocked h» bails off. The last man, 1-mbers, fell without scoring to Orton, the innings realising 95. The home team commenced their, innings with Nor- man Jones and Carter, Taylor bowling from the Bettws. end, and Kswlin^on from the town end. Carter lifted Taylor for a 4, and then for an unit. He then skied a ball off Rawlinson, and, thinking it was a catch, he commenced to run. Jones called upon him to return, but he failed to reach the haven in time, and was run out. One for o. T. Owen filled the vacancy, but lost Norman Jones, who was clean bowled by Taylor. Two for D. Ashley joined Uwen, but Just his partner immediately—bowled by Rawlinson. Ort)n was the next man in, but Ashley was clean bowled the same total. Four for 9. This looked serious for the home tram, but Meyrick, the next man, made a good stand with the professional, »nd rais"d the score to 22, when, unfortunately, Mey- ».ck was run out wtien he appeared set. Jenkins joined Orton, and the score rose rapidly. Both men played a, brilliant game, and increased the total to 65, when Jenkins fell to Lumbers, who bowled instead of Rawlinson. Six for 55. G. Roberts, the next man, commenced a blocking game, but soon fell to Lombers. Seven for 57. Packe. the next player, played a grand game ill conjunction with Orton, but the latter at last returned sharply to Lombers, and was caught and bowled, having scored a brilliant 28- at a time when it was badly needed. His score included two 4's, one 3, and pix 2's. Finchett joined Packe, and as the home total at thia period was creeping near that of the visitors considerable excitement prevailed. The score gradually rose to 95, when Packe fell to Tongue for 23 to the deep disappointment of the home supporters. His capita! score of 23 induded four 4's and two 2's. T. Roberts, the Jast naki in, fell to Tongue for a "duck." Fim-hett carried oot his bat for 8. The total reaching 9o, the game-resulted in a tie. At the conclusion of the game, the players and supporters enjoyed an excellent tea, given by Mrs Rogers Jones, after which one of the viitor's gave a Domic recitation of a cricket match in "Frisco."

Ov/en, were reappointed. Mr D. T.

Willman was again nominated as candidate for election on the Council of the Football Association of Wales.—The North Wales Coast 'League championship medals were presented to the members of the Reserve team by the Chairman. AN INTERESTING PRESENTATION. Mr Macadam stated that the.e was a general wish amongst the members of the dob to recugnise in some way the splendki work accomplished on its be- halt by Mr W. Price Smith, who for the lut ten years had acted as Chairman. He had saved the club from financial trouble, and it was through his exertions that the cluh was ttill in the Combination (hear, hear). He hoped that the clock which was to be presented to him would always remind him of the club—that when he heard the quarters being chimed it would remind him of the time lie occupied a lowly position in the club; that when he heard the half- hours being chimed it would remind him of the time he was appointed chairman, and wnen the full hour was chimed he would always remember the respect in which the members of the club held li-m (hear, hear). The gift-an oak clock bearing the follow- ing inscription, "Presented to Mr Price Smith., Chair- man of the liangor Football Club, bv members and friends, in recognition of his valuable services to tho club, May, 1903. J. W. Burns, Chairman of the Com- mittee, and C. B. Macadam, C.S.I., Hon. Tecretary and Treasurer," and a pair of bronze ornaments-was then handed to Mr Price Smith, together with a list of nubseribera in book form. Mr Pricc Smith, in acknowledging the presentation, said that it was one of the proudest moments of his life. He would never be able to express in words the gratitude he felt for the kindly feeling that was shown towards him, and lie was glad to-day that such good feeling existed, a. WI had existed, between all connected with the club and himself. Proceeding, Mr Price Smith brielty outlined the history of the club from its formation in the yiar 1876, when it was intended that tho club should play under the Rugby Union rules, and did S3 for a short time, but it was subsequently deckled to play under Association rules, and had since continued to do so. He stated that the first president was the late Lord Penrhvn (then Hon. G. S. Douglas Pennant, M.P.), and that it was the greatest honour for the cliia) to have the Penrhvn family connected with it from itfl forma- tion. He also alluded- to many prominent gentlemen who had at different, pericd, been connected with the club, and the active interest taken by them in Its welfare, and also to the many excellent playcrs that had been brought out by the dob, some of whom had made themselves famous. It was under the aus- pices of this clob that the now ddund Northern Welsh Football Association was formed. The club had experienced financial and other difficulties at different intervals in its history, but he was pleased to say th0SJ were with careful manipuiali jn successfully sur- mounted, an,1 the dub to-day was in as tlourlölllllg a position financially as it had been for some time past. The finanen for the past few years were larger than fro former years, but there was hiio difflcultv wJ]Jell loll felt was impossible to overcome, although effort*- had been made, an:1 that was the enlargement of the ground, so as to make it eligible for the English and Welsh Senior Tics. The Bangor Club gmulld had been the means of enhancing the coffers of the local association, and lie was glad of the fact that the North Wales Coast F\lf,tt;J1 Association \v:;s in a sound state, as he was one of its promoters. Being A true lover of sport, he loved t.) see all lawful games flourishing in their true sense, and -he assured the meeting t-Ilht as long as he was spared it would be his endeavour to promote the interests and wellare oi the old club t,) the bet of his ability, and in keeping it afloat fln(1 flourishing, and with the ab!» assistance of a strong committee and officials this could always be done (lie-ir, hear) When looking at the beautiful giTt so generously presented to him that evening, it would remind him of the kindness he had experienced at lhe: t.ands on this and all other occasions (loud cheers).

ABERGELE; AND PENSARN URBAN…
ABERGELE; AND PENSARN URBAN COUNCIL. COMPLAINT AGAINST THE COUNTY COUNCIL. FORESHORE MATTERS: IMPROVING THE BATHING VANS. PROTECTION FOR BATHERS. The monthly meeting of the Abergele and Penearn Urban District Council was held on Monday enning.. There were present: Messrs J. Hannah (Chairman), EJ. Williams (Vice-Chairman), Isaac Morris, H. E. Prit- chard" W. P. Morris, Isaac Roberts, J. Pierce, W. H. Jones, Elias Evario,.J.-E(Iwards, -Thomas Davies, E. A. Crabba (Clerk), aud M. R. Jones (Suiveyor and Sani- tary Inspector). COMPLAINTS AS TO STREET WATERING. At a Previous meeting it had been decided to ap- proach the trustees of the Wesleyan Chapel with a tilnT ( t?rpi!"g t e,te for the action oi a storage tank ioi ktrect watering Replying to Mr J. Morris, the Clerk said he had had no r,ply to l,is letter, but. he believed that the subject Wtre s a meetinff that evening on the P Morris asked what were the arrangements with Mr Vaughan, the contractor, as to'street watcr- U'^i, i surveyor stipulate for bo many hours each day J The Surveyor replied that the watering was done at his discretion. Mr W. P. Morris asked if the Surveyor could state when the cart. ceased watering the streets that da v. The Surveyor r.-plied that he had no information, and had not been out much that day. Mr W. P. Morns said the reason he asked was that there were great complaints abiut the watering, and he- belo ved that no watering was done after live o clo'k, although clouds of du*,t were blowing through the street*. The watering cart was taken -to ttie side of the river and left there at 4.45. He hap- pened to go to one shop, and could say that the sigiit was simply disgusting. He suppose' that all the other shops were in a like condition. He felt that they should see whether they could improve oil the existing state of affaire. Mr Pierce thought that they could deal with it when they considered the subject of the new tanks. Mr W. H. Jones: He leaves off too soon. The Yice-Clluirman agreed with Mr Morris that they should have a different arrangement. He considered that live o_ clock on a very windy day was too early to leave "tf watering lie believed that the streets were watered at four o'clock, but by five they were a." bad as ever. We dondered wheiher the asphalted streets w. re not really worse than the ord.nary roads for retaining the water. The Surveyor said that the carters all left work at five o'clock, having worked from 7 a.m. If the man with the watering cart returned with an empty cart at 4.45, he could not fill it before so that he might as well finish at a quarter to five as at the exact hour. Mr J. Morris disagreed, and complained that the last load of water taken out that day was not a full load. The bottom of the < art was only" just covered, and the supply was exhausted before the inon had gone many yards. Had the cart been filled the man could have gone on watering until five o'clock. He hoped that the Suiveyor would give the matter special attention oil windy days. A question arose as to the practice with regard to carting, and the .Surveyor said he gave orders as to whether the man should water the streets or clear away ashes. The Clerk explained that-according to the contract, Mr Vaughan supplied a man and a horse daily, and they were used for street watering it required, but otherwise they were put on other Council work. Mr Yaughan was bound to supply other carters at the same rate if asked to do so. The .Surveyor said the street watering would never be satisfactorily carried out under the present system with only one horse. If the work was to be d me satisfactorily, they would require three or four horses. Several members complained that the watering cart did not appear until it was just starting to rain (laughter). The Surveyor said he did not turn it out if it was overcast and threatening, but it ofen Cleared up later. The Chairman We get plenty of dust, and just as it beg'.n.i t-o rain out comes the water eart (laughter). The Vice-Chairman said it had been suggested that thev should ask the Rhvl Council to allow the water to be taken from the street hydrants. If that were d ine the cart could be filled in a few minutes, and they could get a supply at every fifty yards. He be- lieved that the whole of the streets could be watered under t.wo hours if they had adopted that system. At present the reservoirs at Llannefydd were over flowing like the Itiver Elwy and they might as well us, the water at Abergele as to allow it to run to waste. Mr W. H. Jones said it was a question of getting the water to Abergele. lie believed that the pipes veiv too small It was decided to await, the reply from the trusters of the Wesleyan Chapel before taking any further steps with regard to the watering carts. A COSTLY DOCUMENT. The agreement with Mr Vaughan for cartage was then sealed, and the Vice-Chairman complained that the document cost them yearly £1 l-s. The Clerk fitid that as it was over £:,0 the Auditor insisted upon it oe:ng stamped. ALTERATIONS BY THE BEE HOTEL. The Finance Committee reported that they had agreed to pay Mr Featherstone Is per annum in re- spect lif the ite of the tire alarm bell, but they had declined to allow the new wall by the Bee Hotel to be brought forward more than Pi inches. s The Sur- veyor had also been instructed to carry out the paving near the hotel, and to charge the same to Mr Feather- stone. THE GREEN AT PENSARN. It wa? resolved to give the grass on the Pensarn Green to Mr .1.<;(Jwards, and to erect notices prohibit- ing the shaking of carpets or the drying of clothes on the green between May 1st and October 1st. The grass on Seabank Road was given to Mr Baker. ALLEGE ENCROACIIMENT. The Clerk was directed to write to Miss Evans with respect to an alleged encroachment in Gianraton lieldB. TUE AUDITOR'S REPORT AND MAIN ROADS BALANCES. It was reported that the audit of the accounts of the Council had taken place, ana that while there was a balance to the credit of the Council, the Council's accounts had been overdrawn during the year, and the sum of i!d9 had been paid as interest, which sum had been disallowed. The cause of the overdraft was the expenditure of money for the ma,n roads, which was not repaid in time by the County Council. The Auditor rtp.r.cd tht the accounts were very accurately kept. Mr Pritchard said he would like to know whether the Auditor had not spoken about writing to the County Council and to the Local Government Board about the money on main roads accounts not being paid. The Clerk said that was so, and the Auditor had pointed out, that whereas" other County Councils prac- tically paid their main roads accounts every quarter, the accounts due to the Abergele Council by the Denbighshire County Council were not paid some- times for eighteen months. The Auditor had sug- gested writing to the County Council on the matter, and he would also report it to the Local Government Board. The Viee-Ohairman moved that that Council also write on the matter. He was present With the Auditor, and went into matters. The .Auditor had said that on the previous day he was at Festining, where the County Council paid their; accounts for main roads every three months. The result of the delay of the County Council was that they had to overdraw their account at the bank, and that was the only cause of their overdraft going up. He thought that the Council could congratulate themselves on the very satisfactory report. In addition to writing to the County Council, he moved that they also write to the Local Government Board. Mr Pierce seconded, and congratulated the Chair- man of the Finance Committee, the Clerk, and those in his office on the very- satisfactory report. They would have been in a very satisfactory position but for the overdraft in respect of the main roads. This was carried. Reference was made to the estimates on main roads for the ensuing year. The Clerk said that the total was £267, which included certain sums" for tarring Dundunald Avenue, Market Street, and Llanfair Road. The Surveyor said he had suggested tending a footnote to the County Council with the estimate, to the effect that there were a great deal of fast motor traffic through Abergele, heavy traction en- gines, and timber haulage, and that, without asking the County Council for a pennv, the Urban District Council intended spending CO on paving the footpath from the Hesketh Hotel past the County School. Mr 1. Morris asked why thev should do such a thing without asking tils County Council to repay it. The Chairman replied tliat the matter had been thrashed out in committee. The estimate was then adopted. GENERAL HOLIDAY. It was reported that a committee had decided that June 25th should bo fixed as a general nÚhday, and that the Free Church Council and the Vicar be ap- proached to see whether some one day could not be fixed upon for a general harvest tlla.H ksglYing. DRIVERS TO BE PROSECUTED. The Surveyor reported that he had again issued notices calling upon the owners and drivers of hackney carriages to take out their licenses. Tho result of the first notice was that three ownrrs and e'even drivers took out the licenses, ju:I the second time there were 21 owners and 22 drivers. There were still some who were driving without the necessary licenses. The Chairman said it was no use wasting further time, and he suggested that prosecutions be imme- diately instituted against the offenders. On the motion of Mr Pritchard, seconded by Mr W. P. Morris, instructions were given to prosecute. THE BATHING MACHINE QUESTION AND 'LIFE SAVING. A committee had decided that, before the bathing machine licenses be granted this year, the owner be asked if he was prepared to comply with certain con- ditions, which required the removal of an objection- able hut, the repairing, painting and regular cleaning of the vans. The Clerk said he had received a reply from the bathing machine proprietor informing liyn that the hut had been removed, that the machines had two coats of paint last year, but in consequence of the poor season he could not afford to repaint them this ear; that he always saw the vans were in a work, ab'.e condition, and that they were regularly cleaned. Air Pritchard proposed that, ii the conditions had been complied with, the licenses be granted. Mr Pierce said he had II,) personal feeling in the matter, but he certainly saw the hut in the old position on the previous day. He did not think that ihe vans were painted last year. Mr Edwards said they had been painted. Mr Pierce faid they should, as the authority respon- sible for the respectability of the district, see that the vans were in good order. They were doing all tlicy could do to smarten up the district, and it was time they, as protectors of the public, saw that better vans were provided for !lathers. lie suggested that the Surveyor should at once examine the vans, and that if they were not right they be condemned. Mr Edwards Jihought it would be more fair if a committee examined the vans instead of leaving the matter in the hands of one man. Mr I. Morris, while agreeing with Mr Edwards, aid he was hound to support Mr Pierce in seeing that r they had proper vans on the foreshore. The Surveyor said he would prefer that a eom- mittee should deal matter. Mr Pierce complained of the delay in getting the vans out f:-r the season. Bathing was in full swing on uther parts of the coast, and yet at Abergcle peo- ple could not get vans. Mr W. P. Morris suggested that the Sanitary Com- mittee take the matter in hand, but Mr W. II. Jones thought they had plenty to do already. On the moti in of Mr Pritchard, it was decided that the Sanitary Committee inspect the vans, and had full power to deal with the licenses. Mr W. V. Morris said he would like to know whe- ther the person who had chaige of the bathing vans en the b?aeii at Pensarn had the necessary apparatus for protecting the bathers and saving life. The Clerk Yes, he has. Mr W. P. Morj-is said he would like to know what they consisted of. The Surveyor: He has a boat and lifebuoys. Mr Jone3 suggested that they should inspect the

Flags and bunting were plentifully con- spicuous amid the frosh green foliage surround- ing the hall, and the road to the church was spanned by se\eral arches, while from the church gates to the. porch an awning had been erected and! scai-let cloth hud down. Christ Church never looked prettier; roecs abounued everywhere, and had been arranged with such delicate and admirable taste that nowhere diet they lose citc<t. Red a.nd pink and cream, on deep green foliage, were tho roses in. the body of tho church, while rotable was chastely adorn- ed with white lilies and rcfyes. Groups of plants woe arranged on each side of the chancel steps, and overhead the large cuan-delier was converted into a crown of r<x-tv-; from. which were sus- pended f<istoons of ivy wreathing, attached to tho chancel stall ends.

boat and lifebuoys when they examined the vans. n The Clerk fald the Council could rest ,8ured that there were all the necessary precautions taken a.t Pensarn, and that while the Council had nothing to do as regards providing a boat or lifebuoys, the proprietor of (lie vane had them should they be re- (juired, but there was no danger at l'ensarn to bathers, as it was one 01 the safest portions of the coast. Dur- ing the 12 years lie had lived at Abergele there had njt been an accident. It was true that one person had met with an accident there, but that was through his own folly, as he persisted in bathing against the warnings of many at a st.a;.e of the tide which was against all reason. For many years prior to that there had been no accident, but there were the necessary protective appliances should they be required. Mr W. P. Morris asked if the boat could be easily launched. The Surveyor said it could be easily managed last year. A question arose as tAl extending the jetty on the beach for the convenience of those using the sands. The Surveyor said he thought that the jetty was too high in parts, as it was 2ft. above the sands, and ladies complained of it. He suggested that they should extend it some 150 feet at a coat of about JE33. The Chairman suggested that they should cart stones there. The Surveyor said they would be washed away by the tide. The Vice-Chairman pointed out that some of the ridges of stones had stood for years. Mr Tierce thought they could easily improve the beech by a little labour, and he suggested that they should make ridges of \;t.uI1C8, which would help to collect the sand. He proposed that the Surveyor be allowed to employ men to -do the work. The Vice-Chairman seconded, and said he agreed with the suggestions made by-residents in Pensarn as to bridging over the gutter with stones. The Chairman said they could not afford to spend £ ?,:}. Mr Pritchard thought that by "stepping" the jetty they would get all that was.. reqllired for X5. Mr Pierce asked the Surveyor if he thought that an extension of 130 feet would last the winter. The Surveyor replied 111 the affirmative. Mr Pierce" said he did not believe it would last half the winter. They did extend the jetty once, but in a storm it floated off, as they thought, to the Isle 'Rilvl of Man, but a portion was found near Rhyl. It was decided to put a stone extension down for the present CHILDREN'S SERVICE MlbfsION. The Council agreed to the holding of services on the foreshore m connection w.th the Children's Ser- vice Mission. The Council then went into committee.
