FRIDAY'S FUNCTIQN. FORMAL OPENING BY PRINCESS DOLGOROUKI. On Friday, the bazaar was opened by her Highness Princess Alexis Dolgorouki. There was again a large company present, including, in addition to the Ruthin, Castle house part* Colonel and Miss Mesham, Pontruflydd; Mr Thos. Williams (Llewesog), Mr W- R. Evans (clerk of the Education Committee), Mr S. J. Waring (ex-High. Sheriff of Denbighshire), and Mrs Waring, e t The day was an ideal one for a function of the kind" and the beautiful scenery obtained from tihe park proved a very great attraction in it- self. On the previous evening, tho drizzling rain interfered greatly with the proceedings, dancing having to be completely discontinued- This, however, did not damp the ardour of the com- mittee, who anticipate-d increased receipts on the closing day of vhe bazaar. Mr S. J. Waring' was chairman for the, day, and the Princess was e-ortemal to the pavilion by her host. Colonel Cornwallis West, and accom- panied by Mrs Cornwallis West, Lady Olivia Fitzpatrick, the Baroness Mechin, Mr and Mrs-- G. H. Denton- In a brief address, Mr Waring called upon the Princess to open the bazaar. Ascending the dais, her Highness was given a very enthusiastic re- ception, andj in a very neat little speech said it required a oe-rtain amount of bravery on her part to take such a prominent part in the day's proceedings, but Mrs Cornwallis West had! com- manded her to do so, and she had to obey (laughter, and hear, hear). Ten years ago, she spent her honeymoon at Ruthin, Castle through the kindness of Colonel and Mrs West, and even then MIl) .Weet told her to open a bazaar at Denbigh, and although she had never done so before in her life, she went (hear, hear, and laughter). They were all pleasod', she was sure, th&t Ruthin, excellent and beautiful as it was, should have a pile of beautiful buildings in addi- ton, and it behoved then to try to do whatever they could so as to have no d-ebt oa the site of 'I the building (Lear, hoar)- With an earne. t wish r.h.it they j-Si >ul-d ifTct- all the money they re- quired, srie had nnch pleasure in declaring the bazaar open (applause). Mr Waring sasd that her Highness' very 'harming and,apprupr:¡!(, speech, tlwre rem.lin- ed but very little for lain to say. It was now iheir business and pleasure to do everything "os- sible to promote the fund. lie m-st sinecrely congratulated the Corporation of Ruthin upon the great public spirit, they had shown in t ie matter, and upon their acquisition ot the site for the now buildings—buildings tint must have far-reaching consequences on the education ot future g, hear). No anpeal ot his would carry weight against tiiat of her lfit'hrie.ss the Prineeai. and' hi. appeal would be nothing but absolutely insigfiiiicunt against any command of Mrs Cornwallis West, but he was s'uro they were all delighted and \cry willing to work under that influence so splendidly directed and which had produced sueii excellent results that afternoon (hear, hear). Ho honied the bazaar wculd be a success- Mr Thos. Williams, I.lewesog, irflposing a vote ot thanks to the Princess, saKi' taat her Highness' presence there thai day had contribu- ted very largely to Use success cf the bazaar (hear, hear). The Princess was no stranger in tho Valo of C'lwyd, where sh-o hsd previously taken part in other functions, and all knew that she was always ready to assist in any go :<l work. Personally, he was in fully* sympathy with the object of the bazaar, and he would remind his hearers tiiat but for the public spirit and enter- prise shown by the Corporation, Ruthin w -uld not. have been selected as Utloe locale of the new ofheen. On the ground. of economy and effici- ency lie thought, it would have been a mistake to remove the County Offices from. Ruthin, and for that reason alone ho was glad that Huthin had been selected for the now buildings- Mr Vv. R. Evans (Clerk of the Peace) sccond- [ ed the motion. IIQ Liiat the recollection of hor visit to Ruthin on the present occasion would al ways be a happy one. The proposition was carried with acclama- tion. On thoa motion of Mr II. II. Springman, Bryn Mair, seconded by Alderman 'i'. 11. Roberts, a hearty vote of thanks waa also passed to Mr Waring. Colonel Cornwallis est, briefly responded' on oehalf of Princess Dolgorouki, and Mr Waring al-o replied in an appropriate speeeh, in the course of which ho pajd a high tribute to tho public service.) rendered to the community by Colonel West. Mrs West personally and publicly thanked the Mayor (Mr j J. Rouw) for tihe great trouble lie had taken in the management of the bazaar. During the ooreroony, a bouquet of mauve orchis and iii-.os of the vail \v was presence;! to I rinoess Alexis by Mr Cyrd Hughes, the bouquet I being tho gift ot Mr Waring.

She is working in the same warehouse as the one front which Mr Wil- liams, the clothier, gets his goods, and it was sent down with his goods to be delivered to me." Witness then told him that in face of his contradictory state- ment. he was going to take him into custody, and took aim down to the police station, where he wa-i charged wil)) stealing two half-sovereigns at the times stated, to which he made no reply. Mr J. n. Cooper, manager of the Royal Hotel, said the defendant had been in his since the 1st W' of June, as assistant. Hi wages were 10s per week and all found. Eight shillings were all witness had paid him. Having paid his railway fare down from Manchester, he deducted a portion, thinking he would not stop it all at once. Witness gave corroborative evidence with reference to the conversation between the sergeant and the defendant at the hotel. The Chairman Had you any character with the defendant? Witness Yes, I had a twelve months' character. It was not a personal reference, I must admit. I ll;ul fl engaged him from a registry office oil the strength of the written character. He told me he had been engaged in a shop at Salfonl for 12 months accord- ing to the reference, an l previous to that, he had been engaged at Barrow-in-Furness. I was in want of a man for Wliit-week, so I did lut take as much care as Boual. The charge being read over to defendant, pleaded guiliv, adding that- he had "nothing t,. say." Defendant was sentenced to one mouth's imprison- ment. with hard labour.

Warm weaiher and indigestion combined were the chief causes of Mrs Elizabeth Field, 75, Wright Street, Horwich, collapsing in the street. Strangers lifted her into a ctb, she was driven to her home, and! the doctor sent for. His report was that Mrs Field's system was run- down in eons>equenoe of an ulcerated stomach, accompanied by indigestion and biliousness. Mrs Field went to the seaside with doctor's physic, but came back still uneured. "I had terrible pain my breast and chcet." Mrs Field told a Bolton newsi>at>cr man, "arid shooting pains in my back were aa severe as if I were being shot at- Indigestion and biliousness as well as tho ulceration, were the cause no doubt of tJ.p pains and a terrible headache and dizzi- ness from which I suffered. The doctor attend- ed me again, his medicine did no good and he admitted mv case completolv baffled him. "So we tried Cha-s. Forde's Bile Beans. The result was marvellous.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL EXHIBITiOTi, A RECORD NUMBER OF ENTRIES. SPLENDiD COLLECTION OF LIGHT HORSES. S.nce thw show whs revived four y.>ars ago »1k» promoters have been carefully experimenting with their prize ii-st. A poultry section was added to tho catalogue this year, and this proved tolerably successful, for m the thirteen classes there were nearly seventy entries. in- cluding theso and about ten more entries in the ge.noraJ classes tho number of exhibits in the show held yesterday week was about. 80 in exc-es;, of those shown last year. From that point of view tins year's ex:hibiti()[1 was therefore an undoubted sucocss. Happily, the tame good fortune at- tended the show in every other respect. At one time tho oommutoe woe in difficulty in procuring a field, but, thanks to the Rev. 11. E. Moeatta. M.A., the show was never held in a more delightfully situated ground. The lieid stood just at the rear of Mr Mocatta's residence, and commanded all uninterrupted view of the bay with Rhyl and Penmaen lIe-ad on the catft, and the I.ittJe Orme, with Colwyn Bay and Rhcs-ou-Sca on the west. The weather, which threatened somewhat, during the early morning, tunned out beautifully fine, and the soeile was presented at its very best. Again the spectators congregated in largo numbers. In fact., tho "gate was better than last year's to the extent oi £ 5 at an early hour. Busy amidst the throng was Mr H. J. W. Wati-ing, tho energetic secre- tary to the Lianrwut show, who supplied schedules was Mr H. J. W.

DENBIGH FOOTBALLER KICKED BY A HORSE. While the judgle6 were at their work on one of the light hor-so ol-assc«, Robert Thomas, a well-known member of the Denbigh Football Club, employed by Mr W. J, Davcy, of Maes- mynan Hall, Afonwen, Flintshire, w accident- ally kicked by one of the horses in the ring. He Wilis at onoe cenveyed to the oecretary's tent, whero he was attended to by Dr. Cawthorne, of Conway, who ascertained that the unfortunate man had fractured his scapula. Dr. Cawthorne dressed him, and ho was afterwards conveyed to tin) Cottage Hospital for further treatment, be- fore ho was allowed to proceed home. 'he officials were:—President, Mr D. Mac.

TIIE EXHIBITS. As hitherto, the strong feature of the show was the light horse section. So far as this depart- ment was concerned the show would boar favour- able comparison with any exhibition of the kinll in North Wales. There were only twelve claseeo. but in these there wore nearly a hundred entries, and those were, in the worck or one of the lead- ing authorities in the Principality, "a really tip- top collection." The competition throughout was uncommonly keen, but most of i ho honours fell to Messrs John Jones and Son. Dinarih Hall. Colwyn Bay. "M erry Star" and "Julia- Dot," owned by this firm, wero iLQ cviiooure of fjl eyee. They won easily in their particular olas&es. The former c-aptured the Royal Society s medal in Loudon recently, "Jujia Dot taking a second prize -on the same occasion. The special prize of a silver cup offered by the- Hon. Mrs Ward, Old Colwyn, for the foal sired by any of her entire horses, was won by Mr Hugh Owen, of the Abbey. Llanrwst, with a most promising young, animal; whilst the silver cup offered by Mr A. N. Cross, jeweller, Colwyu Bay. for the best hackney or gelding, was awarded to Messre John Jones and Son. but as their entry was not n-c made in due time, the prtxo was withheld. In the heavy classcs the entries wero fewer in number, but when it is said that the com- petitors included Messrs J. and J. Foulkes, LTendre, Conway; Mr R. if. Roberts, Dolvvyd, Mochdre; and Mr R. E. Birch, Bryn huryn, Cohvyn Hay, it. will be lealised that there could not be much wanting in the way of quality in the beasts shown. Mr Roberts captured tne Shire Horse Scciety s medal fc,.r the best man") or liily in the show, whilst Messrs Foulkes won the silver cup for the best mare or ffeiding iu tlio show, with a magnificent gelding, rich in eeiour, massive in body, and of excellent prop >r- tions- The cattle '.oction was poorly patronised, but the few aniiuaij exhibited were of excel lout quality. In tho pouhry classes Messrs II. and R. Eastwood', the well-known Conway fatriers, shared honours wi'h Mr J. Lewis, Cote Brook, Tarpoloy, Cheshire. In tho jumping and gucssins competitions the liveliest interest centred, whilst a lftrgc crowd assembled to hear the rosuit of the guessing com- petition. THE AWARDS.

At one o'clock the judges and committee were entertained to luncheon at the Marine Hotel. About forty persons sat down to an excellent re- past prepared with characteristic success by Mrs Lloyd, The president (Mr D. Mac. Nicoll) presided, and was supported by Mr John Jones, Teyrdan Hall, vice-president; Mr H. Davies, chairman of committee; Rev. J. Griffiths, Rev. I-I. E. Mocatta, and Mr William Jones, J.P. The President, who proposed the toast of the King, expressed the hope that his Majesty's pre- sence in Russia, where he had just gone, would do much good, as it had in other parts of the world. The toast was musically honoured. Mr William Jones, J.P., proposed the toast of the "President and Vice-president." They were agreed, he said, that the president was without exception the most useful man they had in the neighbourhood (applause). To him entirely thanks were due for the revival of the show at Old Colwyn. He was pleased to find there were more farmers present that day (hear, hear). If they took it in hand, what, with the efforts of the president,, the show was bound to he a success. The vice-president was a farmer him- self, and one of the most hard-working amongst the farmers on the committee. 0 The toast was musically honoured. The President, in replying, said he took it as a great honour to be president, of the show. They had an excellent working committee, but as far as the president went he had nothing to do only play hi, part that day. Mr .John Jones, vice-president, in replying, said ho had done what little he could', and i: tended continuing to do so much for the advance- ment) of the show (applause). Mr Jones also proposed the health of the judges. Shows, he said, encouraged farmers to breed the best stcck they eould, and he thought that their exhibition that day was in some re- spects not far behind leading North Wzt-loc, shows (hear, hear). Mr Sankey, in replying, said' he had refused to officiate at several shows this v-nar. but that the Old Colwyn was one to which he always tried to come, because he met there a lot of good working men (applause). THE PRESIDENT ON SMALL SHOWS. The President proposed "Success to the Show," and in doing so said he was stIre it was very gratifying to see such a large number of entries, especially when it was known that those who competed were chioflv local residents. The show waa worked by people in the neighbourhood, and the stock shown was very creditable. One often heard the reimrk that little shows were useless, but ho thought there was much more competition in local shows than in larger ones, and where they found competiticy, that must t,oc,nier or lator bring- about a bettering of the stcok (applause). He coupled with the toast the name of tho secretary, to whom he paid a great tribute for the manner in which he had worked- Mr R. Roberta replied, and thanked the com- mittee for the manner in which they had assisted him. The show was not yet perfect, but it oom- pared favourably with other s.hows, not except- ing the Flint and Denbigh. Ho had been to the Carnarvon show, and thero they had eight entries in tho turnouts, whilst at Colwyn they had fourteen (applause). The Vicar, who proposed the toast of the "Chairman of the Committee" (Mr H. Davies) said ho was one of the little people who had done the greatest work in the world (laughter). What- ever duty Mr Davies undertook he carried it out faithfully. There was no man who knew the entire possibilities and prospects of agriculture in the district better than Mr Davies- He had done what he could to supply them with good stock for the cattle, etc., and with the good pro- fit for himself (laughter). Mr Daviee, in replying, said he certainly felt himself small, and he never felt he was above anything, for he realised he was at school every day (laughtor, and hear, hear). The toast of the "Hostess" was oordially hon- oured OIL tho proposition of lJ10 President.

<LLANSEE> £ S SAD PLSOHT. PITir-UL STORY BEFORE THE MAGISTRATE-}. A sad case was lie o\l at the Colwyn Bay Police Court, on Friday morning, when Annie Owen (24), a domestic servant, of Old Colwyn, was charged with attempting to commit suicide on the previous evening. The magistrates were Messrs James Wood (in the chair) and*D. O. Williams. Y\ hen the case was called, the accused, whO) wept bitterly, was permitted to sit down, at the suggestion of Sergeant Reea. Eliza Williams, 1, Tanybryn, Old Colwyn, a married woman, said the defendant came into the house about 9 o'clock on the previous even- ing saymg, "I have come for the baby (referring to her own baby). I have a good home for it." W itness asked where, and she said, "In the bottom of the sea." Witness asked her to leave the baby alone in the house, but she was deter- mined to take it. Witness refused to give her the baby, and locked the door on the inside, leaving the defendant in the house, while her (witness') husband stood with his back against the door. Defendant then sat down and told them "about a bit of trouble "be had gone through." She again insisted on going out, but witness refused to let her have the child. She had to threaten to fetch the policeman; yet de- fendant. would not give in. About 10 o'clock her husband went for the policeman, leaving witness, her sister, and the defendant, in the house. The defendant's baby would be 10 week3 old on Sunday. The policeman came up with her husband, but remained outside the house. Knowing this, witness asked defendant again if she would leave the baby, but she was deter- mined to take it, and wrapped it up in her jacket. Witness then let her go, knowing that '0' she could not go far, as the policeman was there. The baby had been with witness for a week, as she had undertaken to nurse it. De- fendant left the house about 11 o'clock, and went towards the shore. Witness followed her, and eventually got the baby from her arms, the officer holding her whilst this was done. De- fendant was crying bitterly, and screaming for her baby, which witness took home. P.C. R. II. Owen said that- when he was called to Tanybryn, defendant was coming- out wtth the baby in her arms. He asked her where she was ,-o going. She made no reply, but ran towards the seashore. He ran after her and got hold of her, and asked her again where she was going. She replied, "I intend to PUT AN END TO MYSELF and the baby." He tried to persuade her to return to the house again, but she would not go. She screamed and attempted to get away from him. He then held her arms whilst the last witness took the baby off her. Defendant ran towards the shore, William Williams (the last witness' husband) and himself following her. They stopped her twice—once in Beach-road and once on the Promenade. He tried to persuade her to turn back again," but she refused. She went down the iron steRs leading off the Pro- menade to the shore, took her coat and hat off, and ran towards the sea. The tide was close in. Just as she reached the water's edge they caught hold of her—one on each side. Yle did not know whether she actually went into the water. The Clerk She would have to walk far to "et into any depth? The Chairman No, it is very shallow at that spot. P.O. Owen: She struggled very much, and MO to ^ot into the water, and he had to carry er up the steps on to the Promenade, as she reused tq walk. • When she was on the top she said, Why didn't you let me finish it:- I said, ): oy are not going to do it to-night." She replied, W ell, if i don't do it to-night, I'll do it t?amn t ll't ,e assistance of Williams he brought her to Colwyn Bay. She was struggling all the way. D Mrs Williams, police matron, said she was in charge of defendant at the Pulice Station from o cIock on the previous night, until 7 o'clock t lat morning. W itness had a conversation with her, and defendant said, T wish Owen had left me alone." She was very excited and crving bitterly, complaining of "an awful pain in her head." The Chairman: Had she anv steel-)? she slept a little, sir. Mrs F. A. Clegg, of the Ship Hotel, Old Col- wyn, said defendant had been in service with her since Wednesday week. Witness had no reason to suspect, she was going to do ''anything of this kind." She was satisfactory as a servant. The only complaint, against her was that she had been out OIl Tuesday evening wIthout permission. Defendant, had previously told them all about the child, and they felt very sorry. In answer to the charge, Defendant sobbingly pleaded Guilty. Tlio Clerk: Have you any relations here with you?—Yes. I have a sister here, sir. My home is Bryntcg, Llanberis. Tho Chairman: How old is the child? What has the father done since the child was born?— He wants me to get the sack, as he had the sack. The Chairman That was a very poor reason for trying to destroy the child and yourself, you know. Did you not speak to your mistress or anyone about, it?—No, sir. The Chairman: Only to the man? The Clerk: The officer stated you threatened, If you did not do it to-night, you would do it again?"—I did say that at the time. The Clerk Do you still say you are going to do the same thing if you get the chance?—No, sir; I have repented of that. The Clerk: Do you realise what a foolish thing you were going to do?—Yes. The Chairman: Where is the child now?--T think Ir8 Williams has got it; she took it away last night. The Chairman: You gave it her to take care of?—Yes, sir. The Chairman She is a proper and kind per- son. The Clerk Do you intend to tell tha justices you are very sorry ?—Yes, sir. The Chairman What do you intend to do for the child?— Find it a good home with a fit and proper person. The Chairman: C'an you go to your own home?—No, sir; I have written, and had no answer because of this. Defendant's sister said she thought they would take her home for a while. A GENEROUS OFFER. The Chairman: Mrs Clegg, is it asking you too much—whether you think you coul,l do with her? Have you such confidence in her that you would like to take care of her for a while? Mrs Clegg: We will do that until she gets an- other home. We will see she is ai right. The Chairman: It is exceedingly kind of you; it helps us a great deal. Mrs Clegg: It's this man who is to blame. He is always coming to our place. Is there no way by which she can. be protected from him? Could there we no way of having this money paid other than by his coming to the place? The woman wants the money for nursing the child regularly. The Clerk He can pay her. She need not see him if she likes. (To ddendant): You need not go near him. You can write a letter settling for him to pay the money to MrsWilliams. If he does not pay you can have a warrant and if he docs not pay then he is liable to imprison- ment. After the Bench had considered their deci- sion. The Clerk said You are bound over in your own recognizances in the sum of F,20 that you will not again attempt this kind of thing. Are you willing to be bound over?—Yes, sir. You quite understand, if you make an attempt again, if, will be a very serious matter ? The Chairman: We are trusting to Mrs Clegg',s kindness, and that her sister will do all she can for her. Wre are quite willing to believe that you do truly repent. It is a very wicked thing indeed, not only to yourself, but to think- of destroying the child, and wo are hoping you will soon find another home. Mrs Clegic will advice you kindly on everything you do. W,til that understanding we shall dismiss the case.

PHOTOGRAPHIC NOTES, (BY VERONICA.) One of the great agricultural colleges in the United States has just made a precedent, by ar- ranging an exhibition of photographic pictures of landscape gardening. Nearly 100 prints from if a dozen photographers, provided a great variety of subjects, and proved of very great, in- terest to the agricultural students, enabling them to see the results of different methods of plant- ing, and of the arranging of trees, shrubs, flowers, and grass, in a way that they could not have done without very extensive travel. PHOTOGRAPHY FOR SE FIDS MEN. Even in this country photography is used by seedsmen and florists to an extent that is pro- bably not realised by many photographers, al- though I think it is also a fact that it is not near- ly so largely used by seedsmen as it might be with advantage. For illustrating their catalogues and circulars, and for sending early prints of new or rare varieties to special customers, the photo- graphic method is, of course, unrivalled. In some cases, where it was taken up with a good deal of enthusiasm, a number of years ago, it has been almost if not completely dropped again, and I think that the reason of this has been sim- ply that insufficient attention was given to colour rendering. What, was needed to make the work entirely successful was intelligent use of colour- corrected plates and light filters. A USEFUL BARGAIN. I know one case of a very large firm of seed growers who have had all their photographing done (and exceedingly well dene) for the bare cost of the materials, for many years past. One of their gardeners was an enthusiastic amateur photographer, but his wages were not sufficient to allow him to buy more than a small cheap camera. Even with this, he did such good work in photographing some of the flowers and plants amongst which he worked, that his employers decided to provide him with a largo camera of the best possible build, and with ample supply of lenses, light-filters, etc., on condition that he photographed their subjects whenever they needed them. The man is too enthusiastic a gardener f,, nprlect that part of his work, with the result that he does almost all his photograph- ing in his own spare time. Thus he gets the enjoyment of a most fascinating hobby, free of cost, and on a scale that he could not possibly afford; while his firm has the advantage of getting its subjects photographed, not only very cheaply, but also much better than any local pre fessional could do them, whatever price they paid him. AMATEURS VERSUS PROFESSIONALS. The state of affairs outlined in tl o above para- graph is the sort of thing which leads a number of photographers to complain tl at their work ia being cut out by the amateur, but this is scarcely a correct statement of the matter, because there is not a professional within fifty rfiiles of the garden in question which is capable of doing nearly as good, work as is done by the "amateur" who has made it a speciality, and if this same amateur had never gone into the matter, it is probable that for many years to come his firm would have gone on in the old way, without reali- sing- the value of photography in their business. PINHOLES IN NEGATIVES. About this time of year one usually sees para- graphs warning amateurs to dust their platea very carefully, and I even met such a paragraph a little while ago, srating that all plates should rj after taking them out of the dark- slides, and before putting them into the de- veloper Anyone who is so careles#as to have dusty places in his dark-slides has delaved his precautions too long-Jar the dust specks w'ill have prevented the light reaching the plate, and will all develop as tiny transparent spots on the film, which, of course, will appear as black spots and streaks on the print. I am inclined to think that most of the precautions about dusting lead to worse troubles than they prevent, for platea when taken from the package of any good maker are cleaner and more thoroughly dust-free than they are likely to be at any subsequent part of their history. Therefore, if the photographer will merely take the trouble to keep his camera and dark-slides and his changing-room free from flymg particics, he will get the best results as regards dust, by not dusting his plates at all. I< urther, if he is so careless as to have dust in such positions that it will get on to his plat.05 ouring the changing or exposing, it is extremely probable that his dusting brush will be in such condition as to deposit on the plate more specks than it removes. SPOTTING PIN-IIOLES. When one has been so unfortunate as to get transparent spots either through dust or through air-oells, it Í;3 best to fill them up with tin^ quojitf- ties of water-colour, worked np very stiffly in a gum medium, and applied by means of the point of a very fine bmsh. It is well not to attempt to fill the speck completely, but to have the brush twirled to a fine point, and to just put a spot of the colour in the middle of the hole. If you fill it completely you are pretty certain to get some of the colour on to the sides of the hole, and thus make the results worse in t.ha print.
