Tli,- proceedings were firivate in consequenoe of illness in the bride's aitiily, who reside at Sutton Coldfields, near Birmingham, and who were, therefore, unable to be present. The Rev. Canon Roberts offi- ciated, the bride being given away by Mr Breeae, Mr J. MacMichan acting as best man.

On the ecune day a flying handicap was played, Mr W. Brewster gaining first honours, whilst a similar handicap on Mon- day was won by Mr G. Brooks. PROPOSED NEW MISSION CHURCH.— In the August issue of the. "Parish Magazine" the following appears:—"In order to meet the requirements of the rapidly increasing popula- tion at the West end of this parbh (which is about a mile from the nearest church), it is nro- poscd to erect a new church in King's-road; and the curate-in-oharge will, for the future, !"I-io in that district. Plans for a handsome etone edifice have been prepared; and the build- ing of a portion cf it will be commenced at once. The estimated oost of this portion is £ 1000; towards which sum the co mmit toe will receive C400 from the sale of the iron church in Coed Pella road. There remains, therefore, a sum of B600 to be raised by voluntary con- tributioni., and the c,mniittc-a appeal confident- ly to the generosity of residents and visitors to subscribe this amount. The need is pressing and urgent. The new structure must be com- pleted by March, 1S09, when the present Mis- eion Church will be closed and possession of it given up. As to the new site, it will have to be paid for within three years, and it is most desirable that the congregation, who, will have to meet the liability of ;750. may find them- selves free from all building debt when the now church is opened Only by the prompt and liberal support and co-operation of the in- habitants of Colwyn Bay can this end be ob- tained." RACING PIGEON.—On Monday morning, a pigeon, which was in a very exhausted con- dition, settled on the Pior Pavilion rail. There wero large numbers of people about at the time, but the bird was obviously too weak to move out of their way. Two gentlemen pro- cured for it food and dririil, acI this it con- tentedly partook out of the hand. The bird wore a ring inscribed "R.P. '08, M.D., 3146," whilst on the wing was the number "8840." After being fed the bird was caught and taken into one of the upper rooms of the Pavilion far a rest, being liberated later in the day. It is thought that the bird is one that took part in the reaont French race. MISS MARIE HALL.— Miss Marie Hall, tho eminent violinist, will give a recital, sup- ported by a distinguished concert party, on Monday afternoon at the Pier Pavilion, All nations are unanimous as to her wonderful tone and technique. Referring to her recent ap- pearance in London the "Daily Graphic" musi- cal critic wrote:-—"Miss Hall never played b.ijL«r than she did yesterday. Hor tone is fuJer and rioher than of yore, her style more mature and her reading of the various pieces which she undertook showed a firmer grasp of the secrets of expression than we have hitherto ob^-ved in her playing. As regards technique she has practically nothing to learn, and the dazzling brilliancy of her execution remains as astonishing as ever. Throughout the concert a ht was in wonderfully fine form, and the ap- plause with which she was greeted was tre- mendous, so that at the end, after half a dozen recalls, she was obliged to add extra pi." It will be recollected that when liss Hall was here two years ago her wonderful playing caused a memorable scene of enthusiasm at the rfose of the concert. Plan and tickets now roady at the pier gates. TENNIS — Colwyn Bay v. Craigside "Zin- frari— On Tuesday, Mr Plews, the indefati- gable hon. eec. of the Colwyn Bay olub, succeed- ed in irr--nzing a match between a team of plavora who have been taking part in the O aig- •ru" tournaments.

There was a fajr at- tendanca f.nd jlt waa decided to agfcin run a team, and to call a general meeting for to- mo'-Tow (Friday) evenmg. Mr Purdy evinces the most practical interest in the club, and with his assistance no doubt matters will soon be placed on a sound business footing. ORGAN RECITAL.—Following Sunday even- ing's service at St. Paul's, an organ recital was given bv Dr. W M. Venables Williams. The Ohurch was well filled. The programme in- cluded :—OfFertoire (Pliillip Tietz p 40), Andaatd (Batisto). Pastoral and "The Storm" fantasia (Welv).

COEDCOCH. "B.-P." AMONGST THE CHILDREN. General Baden-Powell is never happier than amongst a orowd of merry children. For the tinio being he is the guest of the Hon. Laur- ence and Mrs Brodrick at Coedcoch, and on Thursday they also entertained about 200 school children attending the Llanelian, Tro- farth, Bettws-y-Rhos, and Llanfairtalhaiarn schools with the managers and tho teachers, in addition to a large house party. The hero of Mafeking soon became the hero of all the Iu- veniles for he entered with characteristic eest into all their games, and helped in a very material manner to entertain then throughout. Master Teddy Wynn, the young heir to the Coedcoch estate, was, however, the master ot ceremonies, his courtesy and kindness being the subject of common comment. Quite a formid- able programme had been prepared for the children, including a substantial tea with end- less games and prizes for all distributed by General Badon-Powell. Mrs Brodrick is gene- rally known to be an ideal hostess, and the un- qualified suooess of the proceedings on Thurs- day emphasised the fact. She entered in a very practical manner into everything that tended to the enjoyment of the little ones, and, in common with several of the house party is well as the clergy and Nonconformist ministers present, actually took part in one or two ot the competitive events. At the close the Vicir of Bettws (Rev. Lodwick Ellis) moved a very cordial vote of thanks to the, hosts for thl};r hospitality, tho motion being carried with 7 3»t entinisidsm.

Com- plaints are frequently heard from ratepayers re- j siding in the lower portion of Chapel-street as to tho scanty attention paid to the condition of this thoroughfare. It is contended that the afreet is much in need of repair, and a material improvement would be effected by more frequent soaveiiwinq. SUNDAY SCHOOL SCHOLARS' HOLI- DAY.—The members of Mr Hevi,rv Lloyd's class at the Siloh Welsh C.M. Sunday School, Gyffin, hod a most enjoy ible outing on Thur&day.

RESCUED FROM DROWNING. On Monday morning two young m(n, Huw Conway Jones, son of Mr E. Conway Jones, Stanley Buildings, and Arthur Cyril Jones, son of Mr David Jones, Metropolitan Bank, had an exciting experience. They were bathing off the Morfa Shore, when the younger of the two, Cyril Jones, discarded some water wings with which he had been learning to swim, and at- j tempted to strike out without them. He found himself getting out of his depth, and shouted to his companion for help. The latter swam to him as quickly as possible, but by this time Cyril Jones had gone under, but his companion dived and brought him to the surface, and with con- siderable effort sustained him afloat until Robert Thomas, a local boatman, came upon the scene with his boat, and took both bathers on board, Cyril Jones being in an unconscious state. Arti- ficial respiration was rosorted to upon reaching the shore, and he soon recovered sufficiently to be able to proceed home with the aid of his friend. The young men were a considerable distance out in the river when they were eventually picked up, and the lad who effected the plucky rescue was in an exhausted condition, having been subjected to an attack of cramp in his leg. HOLIDAY ATTRACTIONS. Throughout Monday the town presented a live- ly aspect. The streets were thronged with Volunteers, whose bright uniforms contrasted with the more sombre garb of the civilians. The ancient castle was visited by a large number of admiring strangers. The Cambrian Academy of Art at Plas Mawr also attracted a good number. "The Welsh Rhine," as the River Conway has been aptly termed, was studded with boats con- taining pleasure seekers who had found the temptation of enjoying a row on the river too strong to be resisted. The steamers of the St. George's Steamship Company, plying between Deganwy, Conway and Trefriw, carried scores of eager trippers up the beautiful river in the course of the day. Most of the residents, who had not left the town, resorted to the camp on the Morfa, where they obtained enjoyment from the delightful musio played by the military bands in the cool of the evening. The traffic over the Suspension Bridge was, however, not so heavv as ih previous, years. The averago number of motors passing over the bridge during Monday was about 80, which com- pares rather badly with the 117 oara recorded on last year's Bank Holiday. CAMPING OUT.—Mr Ernest Parry, Mr Good- man Jones, and Mr T. T. Thomas spent their holiday camping out at Trefriw. ATHLETIC SPORTS AT THE CAMP. The seventh Battalion R.W.F. now in camp on Conway Morfa had their annual sports on Wednesday afternoon, and the event proved an unqualified success. A large number of civilians were present to witness the sports. The raoes were all keenly contested, and some of the more humorous items were the oause of much amuse- ment. The judges were: Colonel C. H. Darbishire, Hon. Captain Hill, D.S.O., Major Jones Roberts, Captain Jenkins. Lieutenant W. Darbyshire and Lieutenant G. L. Battersby acted as starters, whilst the stewards were: Captain Wheeler, Cap- tain Griffiths, Captain Evans, and Lieutenants G. Luke O'Connor, Andrews, Camblyn Jones, and Garratt.

The District Council intend making another application to the County Council to* erect sign boards in the district warning motorists and others to main- tain a slow speed whilst passing through the town. SUNDAY SCHOOL TRIPS.-During the past few weeks Sundav School trips from all parts of Carnarvonshire have been visiting Llanfair- feohan, which is fast finding favour with Sunday ¡ School Committees AS a convenient place for an annual outing. i NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD BARDIC CHAIR, The National Eisteddfod of Wales takes Pialoo this year at Llangollen. An interesting feature will be the use for the first time of a finely carved bardio ohair which has been presented by Mr S. J.

Every visible part of the chair is enriohed with well-executed carved ornament, in whioh Quaint Interlaced de- ooration of a Scandinavian type forms a most in interesting and artistic feature. The back is formed of a modified Runio cross joined to the solid framework, the circular central part oi which haa a suitable inscription and device. The ohair, which is strong enough to lasbi for ages, will of course, be used by the chief bardT at future Eisteddfods.

The spectacle of two valuable horses fighting and goading at each other in a field was witnessed on Friday at Llanddulas, many onlookers not daring to approach them. Ultimately one of the animals made off down the field, hotly pur- sued by the other, and in its flight it cleared a five-foot wall, dropping on to the roof of a stable on a lower level. Its weight broke the roof through, and it became fixed in the debris, from which position it was extricated little the worse. The other animal broke out of the field and galloped along one of the most busy thorough- fares in North Wales. Here it was met by Police-Constable Rowlands, who, at the risk of great dangrer to himself, waved his stick in front of it and kept it at bay until other men arrived, and the animal was secured.

LLANDUDNO JUNCTION. ALLEGED ASSAULT. At a special police court held at Conway, on Friday, before the Mayor (Dr. R. A. Prichard) and Mr Owen Rowland, Alfred Taylor, a private in the Lancashire Fusiliers, and hailing from Burnley, was charged with assaulting Llewelyn Lloyd, of Goleufod, Llandudno Junction, on the previous day. In his evidence, Lloyd stated that he was driving home from Penmaenmawr on the day in question, accompanied by a youth named Wil- liams, when he passed defendant, who was walk- ing along the road accompanied by a comrade from his regiment. Defendant jumped up into the car, and asked for a lift, but Lloyd told him he was not allowed to carry anyone. They still fol- lowed the cart, and when an oil can fell off the cart into the roadway Taylor commenced to kick it about. Lloyd alighted from the cart, and assuming that the man had pulled the can off the cart, he asked him what he meant by it, whereupon, Lloyd alleged, defendant struck him and they came to blows. Lloyd proceeded to Conway, where he informed the police of the affair. Corroborative evidence was tendered by Wil- liams, the youth, who accompanied Lloyd in the cart. P.C. Lewis (74) gave evidence aa to arresting defendant at the Conway Camp. Defendant denied striking Lloyd first, and called two witnesses, named Leonard and Wil- son, who had witnessed the affair, both of whom corroborated the statement made by Taylor. After some consideration, the magistrates de- cided to dismiss the case.
