Frust, secretary of the T.A.A., reports that. he receives on an average forty application* doily for e* q lies of t.ho of fie. a. 1 guide, these coming from all parts of the country. TIDES. During 1110 week the tides have been graduaih growing in height, and the pro- L menade has been washed over several times. The highest tide, however, will be that of to- day (Thursday), when, should a fair wind be blowing, a line spectacle should be witnessed. PROMKNADE SLIPWAY. — -Additional improvements are being made to the wooden promenade slipway, a gang o.f men having been at work for some days past. The slip is being continued right into the sand, so that per- ambulators, bath chairs, and bathing van.;i can be taken down on to the shore. Tliis will prove a great advantage. SUNDAY CHOOL TRIP.—The members of tho St. Paul'sSunday School journeyed for their annual trip yesterday to Llandudno. The joiirnoy was made by tramcar. the ride proving it novel experience to a number of the young ones. Canon Roberts was in charge ci tho party", who had a most enjoyable time. PIERROTS.—Both on the promenade and at the Prince's Drive Stage, Catlin's Pierrots aro playing to large audiences. The troupe arc very popular, and one of the most conscientious memliors is Donald Gilbert. "Don" is a light comedian, and he makes a of several numbers, particularly "Otto o Roses." In con- onrted numbers also, he appears to much effect. LOCAL SUCCESS AT WIRRAL SHOW.— At the Wirral Shfnv- this week, Mr Chas. R. Chaplin, photographer, WM successful in win- ning the reserve prise and the National St. Bernard Club's piece of plate with his smooth- haired St. Bernard "Vikings Pride." The suo- eese is all the more noteworthy since the dog ie only twelve paonthe old, and thftt ^hen Mr Chaplin procured him in January this year, was in a very backward condition. The suc- cessful dog's father, "Viking's Prince," wws sold a few months ago for JBSOO. SERENADERS.—'Ithe Serenaders report an- other exceptionally good week of business this week, the patronage, if anything, having in- creased. The boys axe all in fun working order now, and daily give of their best. It was much regretted that Reville Hall, who had become such a favourite, terminated hi8 engagement on Saturday evening". To fill the vacancy caused, ehas, Warham. a light comedian, opened oil Monday, and he has been favourably received. On Monday next, the troupe will 'be further augmented by the inclusion of Mr Gus Harris, the well-known entertainer and monologue ar- tist. PROMENADE RAILINGS. Six tenders were submitted to the Local Authority for the paint- ing of the Promenade railings, and it was re- solved that the lowest, by Mr T. H. Desmond, be accepted for painting the railings with red oxide. On Tuesday, Mr Desmond wrote asking the Council to vary the contract on the ground that the work requested now was different to that which he originally calculated upon. The Council decided to postpone the work for the pre- sent, and to re-advertise for tenders later on. PROMENADE DUST NUISANCE —A long discussion is reported to have taken place at the Council's General Purposes Committee meeting as to "the regulation of motor car traffic along the Promenade, and the allaying of the dust. In order to expedite the bye-laws regulating the Promenade and foreshore in view of continual complains it was resolved by seven votes to six to instruct the Clerk to bring the question per- sonally before the Secretary of State." It has also been resolved to instruct the Promenade in- spectors to stop motor cars driving along the Promenade unless they reduced the speed of about live miles an hour. SURVEYOR'S OFFICE ASSISTANCE.-The Surveyor applied to the Council for temporary assistance, more especially required for the pre- paration of plans a.nd sections ef the Promenade extention on Combermere Grounds. A commit- tee recommended that the request be granted, and that a sub-committee be authorised to en- gage an assistant at JC2 2s per week for live weeks. After a discussion, however, the recommendation was rejected by the Council. METERIOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS.—The weather observations in this district, as reported to the Meteriological Office, during the month of June, were as follows :-Tot.a.l number of hours of bright sunshine, 236.4-only one day without HHnshine being reported; the mean maximum was 63.9, and the minimum 52.0.

A fairly satisfactory audience attended Friday evenings concert, Mr T. llaury Suiith, the deputy-conductor, was in charge oi the band, 111 the abscooe of the musical director (llerr Stephan), who, it wan reported, had been taken suddenly ill. As a matter of fact, Mr Smith haa conducted ever suioe, and we are asked to state that Herr Rtepiian has been advised by iiis medical attendant at Coiwyri Bay to vieit a London special nit.

Mr Foden Williams, the entertainer, made alllotne,r fcueoescful visit, being heartily encore-d after each ,uu)".r»b?r. A 'cello couplet by Mr Percy Hail was performed with characteristic beauty of tone and good taste. The band performed once more Bizets' "L'Ar- lesienne suite, and this was no doubt their most popular oontributioin du.niig the eveniaig. At Sunday evening's sacred concert, Mr T. W. Fenwick rendeircd the "Star of Bethlehem" on the cornet with excellent feeling, wbilet Miss Manson vazig Laddie's "0 Divine. Redeemer" ¡ very symiiathetically.

MEETING. Through tho kindness of Mr and Mrs John Brock, a meeting, under the auspices of i.ho R.8.P.C.A., was held at their charming re»si- denoo U wern Tyno, yesterday. The attendance numbered almost 150, over whom the Rev. Meredith J. Hughes, vicar ot Brynymaen, presided. The Chairman, in his op-cning- remarks, said it seemed strange to speak oi the Society to those who were its members, b,:r it is sometimes well to preach to the con- verted as it helped to strengthen their convic- tions. lie then outlined the history of t-he move- ment from its inception in 1822. when Lord Erskine, who wae connected with this parish, having lived at Pwllycroehan Hotel previous to its adaptation as a hotel, spoke of the rights ot animals in the House of Lords. Though nothing had been done until eleven years afterwards, when "Martin's Act" came into fore. Since then, however, much had been done by the So- ciety. They had plenty of humanism amongst them, said the speaker, but what was wanted wae more humaneness. Ho next dealt with sentimcntalism, and the part it played in mat- tera of this kind. They would find that thoae- who took an interest in the R.S.P.C.A. took great interest in every measure ot- reform and amelioration. What "they did for this Society they would do for any other measure, which was desirable. Some people said that they coulll not do much good by rising toroe, but it had acted successfully in the Factories Law—(hear, hear),—and in the abolishing of slavery. The speaker closed by suggesting that, in view of the faot. that they hoped to have the National Eisteddfod in Colwyn Bay in 1910, the local exe- cutive gavo a prize of a few pounds at the eis- teddfod for tho best essay dealing with the ques- tion, having reference nt to directly to Wales (applause). Miss Constance Warner, organising secretary of the parent body, then delivered a most in- teresting address dealing with the work of the Society. She laid particular stress on the desira- bility of taking prompt action in reporting cases deserving- of the Society's attention, so that the facts could be verified, and a summons is- sued in time. She instanced a case recently in the district, where cruelty t.) a cat had occurred but the information had been laid so late that nothing could be done.—The Chairman proposed a vote of thanks to Miss Wanier, which was carried.—On the motion of Mrs Thos. Lloyd, thanks were also accorded Mr and Mrs Brock. —As the company left the room, a collection was taken, which realised the total of £ 8 16s 3d, a record for similar meetings in Colwyn Bay.— Through the kindness of Mr and Mrs Brock, tea was provided.

OLD COLWYN. TRIP BY TRAM.—Thei members of the St. John-; Sunday Sc.ioo), to the number of 170, wcto taken for their annual trip vesteday to Llandudno. party left Cowyn flay by tram ar 2.15, the little ones having been conveyed to the tralu terminus by motor. The Rev. and Mra U. A. Richards and the teachers were in charge. A most enjovaide day was spent, tea being provided at Cestriaii House. The return was made at 9 o'clock. AN APPRECIATION.Anon" writes on "A Sunday at Old Colwyn," but unfortunately his article is too long, and of insufficient general in- terest to justify its publication in full. "Anon" enjoyed his morning and even- ing services at the Church, and the afternoon he whiled away in "the beautiful Fairy Glen," with the lofty old trees for com- pany, subsequently devoting some time to a meeting of the Brotherhood. In conclusion he writes:—"To the Vicar and Curate of St. John's let me express my thanks for their inspiring ser- mons, as also to the unknown gentleman of the Brotherhood for his uplifting address. One of the latter's phrases struck me. He said people wanted to know what and where was Heaven. To that he replied, "Enough for me to know that it is my Father's home. I care not where end what it is." BROTHERHOOD.—Sunday's meeting, which was held in the open air, in a delightfully shady spot in the Colwyn Dingle, was well attended.

ABERGELET SUCCESS OF FORMER COUNTY SCHOL- ARS.—The following successes were achieved by former students of Abergele County School at the recent degree examinations of the University of Wales (Bangor) :—Miss Olwen Jones, daughter of the Rev. T. M. Jones, of Colwyn Bay, success- ful in three intermediate courses, English, Welsh, Latin; Miss Eleanor Gertrude Thomas, Abergele, in three intermediate and one ordinary, history, English, Latin (intermediate), and French (ordinary); and Mr David S. Owen, son of Mr Owen, Rose Villa, Colwyn Bay, who success- fully completed his course for the B.A. degree, receiving honours in the history school. Mr Owen was also placed in the first division in the college honours list. He contemplates taking an- other course for Welsh honours. PERSONAL.—The Vicar of Abergele preached last Sunday to large congregations in St. John's Church, Bacup, on the occasion of the 25th anni- versary of the consecration of the Church. ACCIDENT.—Ralph King, second son of Mr and Mrs King, Upper Gwrych Lodge, whilst out gathering sticks in the woods on Saturday morn- ing, fell on his bundle, and one of the sticks pierced his left eye. The plucky little fellow, not wishing to alarm his parents, went home and chopped the sticks he had collected into small pieces for the fire, and it was not until some hours later that his mother discovered his condition. On Sunday his parents took the lad to Dr. Granger, Chester, where it was found necessary to perform an operation, but there is little hope of saving the sight of the left eye. Dr. Peter Jones is also attending him at Abergele. Much sympathy is expressed with the lad and his parents. The boy is a bright little fellow, and has not been absent, from school once for three years until this accident. ANOTHER MISHAP. A farm labourer named David Jones, of Jenkin-street, Abergele, and employed at Tandderwen, whilst stacking hay, on Tuesday, fell from the top of the stack, and sustained such severe injuries that, necessi- tates his removal to the Denbigh Infirmary. FAIR.Tlie monthly fair )i,,Id on Wednesday was poorly attended and very little business was done. No doubt the hay harvest accounted for the absence of many farmers.

LLANELIAN. THE OLD PARISH CHURCH —Visitors wi!l be interested to know that, an English service is conducted in the Old Parish Church, at 10.45 a.m. Amongst other interesting features of tho ancient, structure is the pre-Rcformation chalice, which may be seen after the service upon re- quest to the Rector.

ABERGELE ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY. A VISIT TO LLANDUDNO. On Saturday, at the invitation of Mr G. A. Humphreys, of Ardwy Or me, and the members of the Llandudno Field Club, the Abergele Antiquarian Society visited Llandudno. Not- withstanding the extremely wet weather (a cor- respondent writes) quite a large number of the Abergele members arrived and assembled at Ar- dwy Ünnc, where they were welcomed by Mr Humphreys, Mr Bezant Lowe, and Mr L. S. Underwood, the hon. secretary of the Llandud- no Club. A visit was paid to the prehistoric cave in the grounds of Ardwy Orme, and after ascending the Great Orme's Head by the tramcar and iii- specting the cromlech the pa.rty visited the pre-Roman camp on Pen-y-ddinas, where eart hen ramparts are to be geen on the north and west sides, as well as the remains of forty pit dwel- lings or hut circles, and what is described as a dew pond. One of the peculiarities of pre- Roman camps is that they afford no evidence ot having had any water supply, which has caused considerable speculation among antiquaries.

A SURGERY IN A TWO-INCII BOX T* liability of everyone to sudden and un- foreseen accidents renders the possession of a reliable first-aid, such as Zam-Buk, absolutely necessa.ry. How superficial wounds are lirst treated decides whether they heal quickly and cleanly, or oiler the chance for disease germs to work mischief. Prepared from the saps and juices of rare plants of great medicinal value, Zam-Buk is a lUiiciue brcbaration and by reason of its con- sistency possesses healing and sKin-curing powers that cannot be found in ordinary ointments. In short so far as the human skin is concerned, Zam-Buk may be said to embody the curative power of a doctor's surgery in a two-inch box, Applied as a healing balm in the case of cuts, bruises, lacerations, burns, scalds, etc., Zam- Buk is bsautifully soothing, powerfully antisep- tic. ami readily healing, while in tho case ot common skin diseases, such as eczema, ulcers, scalp troubles, and piles, the only real good to be obtained is by t.he use of Zam-Buk which is of pure herbal origin with a natural affinity for tho human skin.

It is stated that Canon Singleton, of Seacombe, will be recommended to the Pope for appoint- ment to the vacant bishopric of Shrewsbury. It is probable that the estate of the late Duke of Devonshire will be valued at between £ 2,500,000 and £ 3,000,000. Negotiations are proceeding for the establish- ment on the Pacific of a subsidised steamship service between Canada and New Zealand and Australian ports. A message has been received in Berlin from Sosnowice, Russian Poland, stating that a plot against the Tsar has been discovered there, and that over 100 men and women have been arrested. A swarm of bees at Redditch, numbering about 5000, have made their way through a hole in a wall of about an inch in diameter, and established themselves in a bathroom. Berlin will presently contain the largest hotel in the world. The building now in course of erection will be able to accommodate 2000 visi- tore.

Brodrick, Mr John Brook. Dr. Price Morris, Rev. Canon Hugh Roberts, Rev. E. J. Ev.i.ne (vicar of Llandrillo). Mr<i Crrn-liold, Mr E.

Mr Amphlett then detailed briefly what had been done at t.he previous meeting in co,nnec:;on with the movement, and on the motion of Mr Gwesyn Price, seconded by Mr J. 0. Davies, the mii utof; of that meeting were confirmed. PRELIMINARIES. The Chairman suggested that the meeting elected an executive committee. Mr W. Jones (N. P. bank): Are we right in assuming that the eisteddfod will be held hero in 1910? TjjC Chairman: Oh, no; but the application, for it must be made on or before Aug'uet 4th next. In support of that application we must riend a comniitice deputed to wait upon the Gor- ge dd at Llangollen, on September 3rd. It is de- sirable tiltat wo BOW elect an executive com- mittee in order to get up the guarantee fund of £ 1000. Rev. Oew Evans: What is to bo the >pecial function of th;e committee? Is it to be a preli- inmaiy executive committee or a mere dcjega« tion at Llajigol'en? The Chairman: We will have to get up the guarantee bond, and they well wait as a depu- tation on the Eisteddfod authorities at L.an- gollen. Mr D. Trehearne, an old eisteddfodwr. gave his experience of the work in which he took a prominent part In connection with the Hnyl. National Eisteddfod, there, he said, the lirst step had been taken by throe mien only. 'I hey notified the newspapers that they were going to call a pubho meeting with a view to inviting1 the eisteddfod to the town. fiben they got up their guarantee bond of LIOGO, and formed a. general committee from he 200 odd people who acted as guarantors for the bond. 'Ihe general committee in turn elected an executive commit- tee of about 40 members, who were given power to co-opt outsiders to give them experts assistance, for hterary, musio. and general par- poses. Sub-committee* were afterwards appoint- ed. Two temporary hon. sees, were depute,! to. see to tiie signing of the bond, and armed with* that, and supported by prominent members of the Council accompanied by other influential people, the deputation, waited before the aulilo- rities with their application. He bad known some toww apply for the eisteddfcol tune after time. Amongst ttiorn was Aberystwyth, which would never succeed until they returned cane members on their Council (loud laughter, and hear, hear). The claims of Colwyn Bay, how- ever, were undoubted. With its 13,000 popula- tion, its position on the niain railway line and its geographical situation it commanded the best attention (applause). With regard to the bo:id they had not tho slightest diflicultv at Rhyl, and they would have none at Colwyn Bay; —(hear, hla.r) ;everyone would sign it. On the. motion- of the Rev. iv. Roberts, se- conded by the Rev. Meredith Hughes, it was decided to formally adopt a resolution specifi- cally confirming the decision of the previous, meeting to give a very warm invitation to tii» Eisteddfod Association to hold the festival at Colwyn Bay in 1910. THE GUARANTEE FUND. Another discussion ensued in regard to the minimum amount of each guarantee, but it was eventually decided to abide by the suggestion ot the first meeting, namely, that the amount be £5. Forms undertaking responsibility for tne guarantee fund were then circulated an.ongst those present., and within a few minutes about, 60 gentlemen handed in their signed promises, for at least £ 5 each; so that nearly a third of the fund was assured at once. When Mr Amphlett announced the result a hearty cheer rang through the room. OTHER POINTS. The next point under consideration was the method of procuring further guarantors, and on the motion of tho loov. John Edwards, it was resolved to call a meeting of the "canvassers appointed at the previous meeting to arrange a plan of operation*. On the motion of the Rev. John Edwaids, t." conded by the Rev. Meredith Hughes, it wU. i further decided that a committee be deputed to prepare the "case" to be submitted before, the Eisteddfod Association in connection with the* application, the following being after war da elected on the coram it 1 ec with power to add to their number — Rev. Meredith Hughes, Rev. Thos. Parry, Rev. John Edwa.rds, Rev. R. Ro- berts, Mr D. O. Williams, Mr Edward Allen, "Penllyn," "Bwlehydd Mun," with the joint: hon. secretaries pro. tcm. (Messrs James I Amphlctt. and Wm. Hughes). It was finally agreed that all the guarantors act as a general committee.

PROPOSED RE-ARRANGEMENT OF THE DISTRICT. A meeting, convened by Mr R. J. Lewis, was held in the English Baptist schoolroom, on Tues- day, for the purpose of considering the advis- ability of moving for the inclusion of the upper portion of Llysfaen in the urban district of Col- wyn Bay and Colwyn. There was a fair attend- ance, presided ovei- by Mr Robert Evans, C.C. Several gentlemen spoke in favour of the scheme, whilst others were of opinion that the better plan would be to form El-riaa into a separate urban district. Several influential people who had signified their intention to attend were unfor- tunately debarred from doing so through busi- ness engagements, and it was decided that a further meeting should be held.
