The boys, numbering 113, are in charge of Mr Potter, the governor, and arrived on Friday, proceeding to their camping ground, headed by their hand. The camp will be continued until Tuesday week.

OPEN-AIR SERVICE.—For several years past open-air services have been held on the Pro- menade on Sunday evenings during the summer months, under t-he auspices of the Free Church Council. This season's inaugurating service took place on Sunday last. The proceedings were g4 conducted by Mr J. W. Adamson, and addresses were given by the Rev.

CHURCH MEETINGS.—A special meeting of the members of the English (Jongregational Church was held in the Lecture Hajj, yesterday week, when the future of the cause formed at Rhos was discussed. It was reported that the services were .well attended, over fifty worshippers being present on several occasions, and that there was every prospect of the undertaking proving successful. Although assisted by the Colwyn Bay Church, the cause had not up to the pre- sent been recognised as officially connected there- with. T t was decided that they new be united, Rhos being ranked as a branch. RETURN OF A FAVOURITE.—An excen- t.i,inall.V large audience was present, at the Prince's Drive enclosure on Monday evening to welcome the re-appearance with Catlin s P;errot3 of Mr Ciias. Lewis, the favourite ventrilo- quist- Mr Lewis was given a big rcoeption on his first appearance, when he introduced the precocious "Joey," and re-vivedt "Lizzie."lt was quickly seen thai he has lost none of his versatility, and he had ocrforre to ac- de 'to a vigorous recall. The rest, of the boys" were in good trim, and gave an excellent programme. ANIMATED PlCim; R ES. Net wiihsf a ndinr tido natural de.sire to be in the open air during the hot weather prevailing, large audiences have attended nightly at the Public Hall, whore Mr Chapman's Living Pictures are being shoun. This week s programme iiiclu-ies some ve:y beautiful films, both coloured and plain, chief amongst theni being "The Pirates." "The amongst them being "The Pirates." "The Witches' Ca \e," "U'ovsican Daughter," and the I '"Despatch Bearer, all of dramafical interest. In addition to the pictures there appeared Mr I Bert. Vincent, society comedian, who greatly pleased; Miss Marian Martolle, a clever juveii- iie vocalist; and Mr Will Chapman, a singer ot popular ^songs, and the possessor of a good ve-ice. The fchow, as a whole, is a very good one, and should on no account be missed. Next week's pictures Mill Girl," "The Bellringer's Daughter, "The Convict's Daughter," "Poo Many Cl,ildr(,ii I baii." ziv Serenades have ¡ quickiv regained their old .standing in the opin- ion of the public, and they now draw a large share of patronage at their perJormenees Un- doubtedly the "hit," of the week is the 'Wednes- day "special.' Yesterday evening tho pro- share of patronage at their perJormenees Un- doubtedly the "hit," of the week is the 'Wednes- day "special.' Yesterday evening tho pro- gramme was an unusually sfron? one, including as it did in the first half several how sories. In tho second portion Austin May intioduced a new soena eni-itled For Atild Lang Syne'—^—a miner's socaa with elTecis. "Mandy'.s Wedding," a coon L by l!;t whole of the company, proved most [ interesting, whilst Harry Raymond gave a very popular number in "Sombrero," a Mexican scnea '1 ho whole concluded with the revival of the old favourite sketch "The New Waiter," Harry Reynolds appearing in the title role with great success. A member of the troupe who has come well to the front is Ciilf Wood, a happy comed- 1 ian, with a style essentially his own. ii:s ?-'nt's aro most* humourously given, win female sketches he is roaringlv ftinny.

PIER PAVILION CONCERTS. > Despite the great heat prevailing during the past fev days the concerts at t!he airy and well ventilated Pier Pavilion have been largely at- tended. On Saturdav evening the special con- cert attracted one of the largest audiences of the season. Miss Naei Talbot was the vocalist, whilst Mr Teddy Whittle, the popular Lanca- shire entertainer, supplied the amusing ele- ment. Miss Talbot is a coatraito of great merit. Her tone is good, and her method ot production exceUent. She sang "Hie Enchant- ress" with genuine artistic expression, and in other songs rendered during tho week she has been heard to great advantage. Mr Whitt'o caused roars ef laughter with his amusing jokes and Jovial pat tor. Mr T. Henry Smith gave a violin solo, which served to whet one's musical appetite for more, and the pianoforte selection by Mr Birch was very acceptable. Of the or- chestral numbers the most popular were the Poet and Peasant" overture and "The Thun- derer" march. On Monday evening the band performed Lacamc's "Ma.scaradc, Brahm s j two Hungarian dances, and Morrel's Japanese romance "Poppies." Last (Wednesday) night a popular and humorous programme was present- Oil. A piccolo solo by Mr Frassini and a couple of well-sung songs by Miss lalbor fwere loudly cheered. By way of a change an afternoon conce.t was also given at the Pavilion on Sunday, the en- tertainers being the Euterpean Ladies' Orches- tra from Liverpool, The weather was almost unbearably hot, and this filct materially af- fected the attendance, which was quite un- worthy of the concert. The programme con- sisted of Beethoven's "Men of Prometheus" overture, Tschaikowsky's VaJso des Fleurs" suite, Mozarts Jupiter symphony "Allegro Vivace," the Tanjihauser selection, and Ger- man s "Nell Gwyn"' dances, and though the party were only about sixteen-in number, they performed their somewhat, formidab'e task in a highly creditable manner. The Casse Noi- sette suite has rarelv been more effectively in- terpreted at the Pavilion. Miss Julia Scott gave a cello solo, which promptly stamped her as an instrumentalist of considerable powers, whilst Miss Viyienne Rcort, with her violin selection, and Miss Greta Scott with the man- doline solo, were aiso very pleasing. The Misses Scott, under whose direction the con- red was promoted, aro to be congratulated upon the. excellence of the band. On Saturday evening the Orchestra wi.1 be augmented for the remainder of the season, and they will be in the charge of the newlv-a.ppoint- ed musical director, JTerr Gustav Sfcepliab, who will then make his debut before Colwvn Bav audiences. T'he band will be increased to f twenty-six in number, and will be further sup- plemented on the following week. The vocalist for the occasion will be the ever popular b.iri- tone, M r Chas. Tree. and another favourite will also be present in Mr Lirulon Wyait, the well- known entertainer. Mr Tree wij aiso be the vocalist for the week. Y.M.C.A. SECRETARIES' VISIT. Yesterday afternoon, by invitation of the rom- mittee of the local branch of the Y.M.C.A., the members of the Association of General Secretaries of Great- Britain, who are at. present at Lian- dudnc holding their annual Conference, visited Colwyn Bay, and went over the proposed new holiday home in Conway-road, the general com- ment being, that the scheme was a splendid one. Amongst those present were Professor II. Currie Martin, M.A.. B.D., Bradford, lecturer: presi- dent, Mr Oliver McCowen, L.L.B. K.I.H., the latter decoration being conferred upon him for work in Rangoon; Mr W. Wrrght, secretary for Ireland; Mr Stenning, Christ Church, New"Zea- land Mr Basil Hewer, travelling secretary for London; Mr T. Gwilvrn James, travelling secre- tary for V/ales and the border counties; and Ilerr Horde,. Germany. The party subsequently ad- jcurncd to the beautiful grounds of Ratonagh, on the invitation of Mr Dd. Gamble, secretary of the local branch. Here tea had been prepared under the shade of the trees. Mr W. Wright, secretary for Ireland, moved a hearty vote of thanks to the Colwvn Bay commit- tee, and Mr and Mrs Gamble, for their hospital- ity, and, continuing, he said that at Llandudno, before they came, it was asked why should they leave such a charming place as Llandudno to go to Cobvyn Bay, which they knew not ? Well, all he could now say was that the- had come, had seen, and Cohvyn Bay had conquered (loud ap- plause). Mr Hewer seconded, and said that whilst think- ing of the beautiful surroundings of Colwyn Bay, they should also think of the enterprise of the Colwyn Bay branch. lie hoped that the pro- posed holiday home would attract thousands of young men. and that it would prove pleasant in every sense of the word (applause). Mr Stenning, Christ Church, endorsed the re- marks made, and wished the new scheme suc- cess. Professor Martin said he also wished to be associated with the vote of thanks. Mr .James, secretary for Wales, paid a com- pliment to the work of Mr S. Johnston and Mr Adamson, and said the enterprise at Colwyn Bay was just one instance of the progress of the Y.M.C.A. in the Principality. It would surprise then t.o know that six years ago there was not a, single branch Association in North Wales with the exception of a small one at Carnarvon which could hardly be called an Association. Now there were big movements at Carnarvon, Bangor, Llan- dudno, Colwyn Bay, and a small village Associa- tion at Portdinorwic. Eighteen secretaries had been appointed during the last few years. They had their goal in view, and one of their great objects was the providing of a Society home in Colwyn Bay (applause). Dr. Nuttall, treasurer of the Colwyn Bay branch, said it afforded him pleasure to welcome the visitors that day, and especially to see the proposed holiday home. The cost of the scheme was extremely large, the amount wanted reaching £9000. Of this, however, £6000 was promised from outside. It was a good object to have them there that day to see the building, and to ask them for their assistance, and that in the future they would return to Colwyn Bay to see the home in full working order (applause)" Mr C. A. Adamson, chairman of committee, endorsed Dr. Nuttall's remarks, and said he had met one member who had been to Cohryn Bay 17 years ago. and who now expected to see the old Colwyn Bay. When they came to think that during the last ten years Colwyn Bay's popula- tion had practically doubled, they would realise that it was an ideal spot for a holiday home. Mr Johnston expressed regret at the absence of the President, who unfortunately had been caned away to another engagement. The general opinion amongst the party was that the next time the Conference is held in Wales it should he convened at Colwyn Bav. At the suggestion of the local secretary" (Mr Johnston), the Colwyn Bay T.A.A. distributed 50 copies of the official guide of the town amongst the visitors.

Perkins and Co. held their first smith.field sale at the Marine Hotel 011 Tuesday. Very good prices were realised. The demand for fat a,nd store beasts and lambs was', in fact, in excess of the en- tries. It is intended to hold a second sale in tho co-urse of a month, particulars of which will appear in the "Pioneer" at a later date. ¡ ¡ COMPLIMENTARY CONCERT. — There was a large attendance in the Assembly Rooms on M nday evening at the complimentary con- or-d, gi yen by the Male Voice Choir, t-o Mr Pryca Davies, one of their members, who has been indispe«ed for some time.

ABERGELE. ABERGELE AND DISTRICT ANTIQUAR- IAN ASSOCIATION.—A "Botanical Ramble" was arranged by this Association for Saturday afternoon, this being the first of what is hoped to be a permanent feature, which will help to make the Association more inter est wig to a large number. A full and descriptive Jist of the flora in this neighbourhood has never been attempted, and this would be an important step in the rig'ht direction if taken up. Mies Eva Thomas, Llandudno, very kindly gave her ser- vices to the party, and $h wa.s delighted with the great vvealtij of flora found in the compara- tively small area in wihich the ramble took place. Mrs Scott, of Plas Ceoo, very readily granted i).(,rni to go into the Pl-ts Ucha woods, and Mr B'akemore, the bailiff, proved an ideal guidi Mr Bezant Lowe, LlanXairtechan, ac- companied the jxirfv-. and gave interesting and instructive information on the gieologieaJ for- mation of the Towe* Hill with it9 beds of boulder clay, the eiient witness of the great glacial age.

LLANDRILLO-YN-RHOS. OPENING UP THE ROADS.—A correspond- j ent writes:—Many have been the complaints in the Rho;, district owing to the opening up of the thoroughfares for various purposes just at the season when householders anticipate making a. little out cf their houses. Both at Easter and Whitsuntide considerable loss h:15 been sus- tained in conrequencc. Had t.he matter been Je.ft at that possibly nothing further would have been heard, but, this week a gang of men have been set to work to open up the Rhos-road for the purpose of laying a drain. So pronounced is the feeling on the inittei- in the immediate vicinity that it is prcjwed, by way of protest, to refuse paying this year's rates.

NORTH WALES QUARTER SESSIONS. FLINTSHIRE, AN YSCEIFIOG FARMER CHARGED WITH ASSAULT. At Mold Quarter Sessions, on Tuesday, the- Chairman (Mr S. P. Penta.nt) congratulated the county of on the absence of serious there being onJy one case to be heard. The solitary defendant was John J'jIlC" (56), a farmer, residing at Ysceifiog. He had been committed by the Holywell magistrate-s cn a charge of wounding Mrs G ilmore. There was an alternative indictment charging him with common a.ssaulf. The Grand Jury returned no true bill in tho case of the more tenons c.oarge, and the accused, who was on bail, took his trial en the eharge of common assault. Mr Roberts (instructed by Messrs Hughes and Hughes) prosecuted, Mr R. V. Bankes (-ns-truo- ted by Mesfer.9 KOOlle and Kelby) defend,ng. It appeared that defendant had been given no-Cce to leave his holding whioh was taken by, Mr Gjlmore. One of the iieids was full pf grow- ing wheat, in which, according to the custom of the detriet, the out-going tenant (defendant) had an interest. Mr GUmoj-e, after taking legal ad- vice, 1Ot two. men to roll the field and ))Iaiit it with grass seeds. While they were at work de- fendant's wife and son entered the field, and as a result cf what. transpired the men unyoked Iie horse from the roller and discontinued the \vork. Mrs G lmo-re, hearing of the incident, hurried to the field. S-he met the men and set iheii) to work again. Then, according' to the p roe ecu- ton, de-iendant- came upon the scene and struck: Mr Giimoro a v olent blow on the back of the head with a thick stick, the force of the blow breaking the weapon. Mrs Gilmore Hab partly; dazed, and- her silk nocktie and blouse and two towels whch were, used as bandages were soaked w th blood. She was conveyed to a doctor, and had to remain a considerable time at the surgery. The assault took place two days before Whit- Sunday. Mrs Gilmore, wearing a bandage abcut the lower part. of her he-ad, was accommodated witht a sea-t in the wit.neeK-box. In the course of cross-examination, she de- nied a sugge«t:orr that site herself was the ag- gressor, and tihat the stick with which she was struck was taken from her by defendant. It was not true that any of the men struck de- fendant before he struck her. She did not k.now what was done afterwards. Describing the assault, Mrs Gilmore said Jones struck her for absolutely no-thing. She was running off the field at the time. The stick was as thick as her wrist. He held the stick in boih hands, and it came'down on to the side of her head. She d d not call him at any time a common Welsh devil. The defence was that Mrs Gilmore was the agVfreseor, but defendant- admitted striking Mrs Gdmore in a temper. I-lo. ww N-ory forty. Defendant was found guilty, and ti; ed iJ5 and bound over.

PUBLIC ROAD WATERING AT COLWYN BAY. (To the Editor of the "Pioneer."). c, many of the householders in the Colwyn Bay and Colwyn districts are suffering and put to great inconvenience through the scar- city of fresh water, most thinking people- will agree with me that it is nothing less than a waste of one of God's best gifts to use pure water for watering the- streets and promenades of Colwyn Bay, Old Colwyn, Rhos, and Mochdre. It is a shame, especially when one considers that the Urban District Council have the remedy for it, in the form of a never-failing supply of health- giving, microbe-destroying, and dust-laying sea water, which, as I have said and shown many times over, is ten times more effectual in sub- duing the dust nuisance than fresh water.—I am, etc., ELLIS LEVER. Colwyn Bay, July 1st. [We understand that the Urban District Council have under consideration the matter to which our correspondent calls attention.—Ed. "Welsh Coast Pioneer.").
