: NOTES ON THE ELE'CTION.…
NOTES ON THE ELE'CTION. ¡ i Looking at the result from a party point of Iriew we have reason to congratulate oarielves on the return of four Liberals against three Tories. This gives a majority of Liberals at the Board, and will tend to check any party tactics that may be attemp- ted. At the same time we are exceedingly sorry that Mr E. W, KEATINGK has been left out in the cold. The Tories could ill spare such a man, and the town has lost the services of one of our best Commissioners. Unfortun- ately the ratepayers have no means of knowing the relative value of its representa- tives. The services rendered on committees are altogether lost sight of, while the loud talk of men who have nothing else to recommend them is reported in the news- papers, and. made too much of. If the Commissioners as they stood before the election had been divided into three groups according to merit, no one who knows the inner workings of our local Parliament would have hesitated in placing Mr KEA- TINGE in the first group. The service he has rendered on the Finance Committee deserves special mention. By one transaction which required no ordinary acuteness and prescience he has helped to save the town permanently a sum eqnal to one half-penny in the pound. As chairman of the Sanitary Committee his trained skill, and unwearied attention were invaluable. Such men as he,and there are not more than half a dozon like him on the Board, should be returned every time unsolicited. We were glad to find the old veteran Mr JAJIKS TAYLOR placed in his well-earned and accustomed position at the head of the poll. It is also creditable to the town that a man like Mr WILLIAM WILLIAMS has been re- turned once more. He has made himself un- popular by his independency and courage; but there are few men who can bring to bear upon' the subjects under discussion mo e practical ability or greater determination to do the light thing at the right time than he does. Faults he has, no doubt, which he himself will readily acknowledge. We trust he:will put them to mending, and show the town the genuine metal he is made of. The other members are probably as well known as they deserve to be. Mr LLEWELYN LLOYD however, is a new member. He seems intelligent and anxious to serve his day and generation, with plenty of time, and means a command. We want more like him to take interest in local affairs.
ANNUAL ELECTION OF COMMISSIONERS.
ANNUAL ELECTION OF COMMIS- SIONERS. This important event took place on Thursday. We say important under the con. viction that the opportunity afforded rate- payers to show their approval or disapproval of the conduct of those elected to govern the of a town should be regarded as the 1rf ."01 -¡", "«"'Ii most momentous municipal event of the year. Undoubtedly the election of the Rhyl Im- provement Commissioners for this year W8S regarded in that light, though the number of votes recorded was not so large as in previous years.. That fact may be accounted for in several ways. Canvassing was not carried on so vgoarously as in former years, nor wdre- vehicles in such extensive use. Opinions differed as to whether the Corrupt Practices Act applied to elections of Improve- ment Commissioners and, presumably, to be on the safe side there was no treating" by I the candidates nor their friends, and what carriages were in use were not hired, but rather were given for the day by their "ownersT" About 900 voters presented themselves to register j?Lvi"4ffrages, and, speeiking imner- ally, very feW'" 'iperg- were ?p6ilf ""B??it is ,p worthy of remark that those persons who were supposed to be the best edueatedr committed the most blunders, and asked the most ques- tions. Several papers were not signed iathq manner required by the act, and scTm £ i!bn- tained marks against more than seven names. To all appearances the candidates ^ith two exceptions fought singly, bnt the names of Mr James Tbylor And Mr Joseph Williams were bracketed,' as were also those of Dr. Summerhill and Mr J. H. Ellis. The poll opened punctually at nine o'clock, all the candidates being early on the ground, with the exception of the Rev. E. Lloyd JoneX who was not seen, at any rate by our repre- sentative, during the day. The first voters represented the clerical element while the "law" followed very shortly afterwards in the person of the worthy County Coroner, Mr Wm. Davies, Glan- morfa. Inside the booths everything seemed to proceed very smoothly throughout the day. Booth A. was devoted to voters residing east of Queen St., and Bodfor St., while Booth B. was utilised for residents west of those streets, and non-resident voters. Dr. Girdlestone, chairman of the commissioners, was return- ing officer, and presided over the polling in Booth A. and, was assisted by Messrs. P. Mostyn Williams, and Henry Parry Mr James Davies presided in Booth B, and was assisted by Messrs. A. L. Clews, D. Trehearn, and Robert Hughes, town surveyor the town olerk (Mr A. Rowlands) and his staff being also in attendance. Assistance was also provided for illiterate voters in each of the Booths. As the voters entered the town hall, they were met by those seeking their siffrages, but the bustle consequent upon candidates pressing into the vestibule, and so often complained about,was entirely avoided. Instead of crowding after a voter, the candi- dates handed each a small card having such requests as the following, Vote for J. H. Ellis. First name on the List." From the first it was looked upon as a foregone conclusion that Mr James Taylor would head the poll; and for second place the names of Mr. Joseph Williams and Mr. Llewelyn Lloyd were freely mentioned. But at 5 o'clock all surmises and guesses were put at rest. Immediately the clock struck that hour the Returning officer stepped on the balcony, and declared THE STATE OF THE POLL as follows 1. James Taylor 1078 2. Joseph Williams 779 3. John Frimston 761 4. Llewelyn Lloyd 7b8 5. Absalom Humphreys 688- 6. iVilliam Williams 669 7.

Lloyd Jones 539 12. J. H. Ellis 435 When the applause following the declarat- tion subsided, Mr James Taylor stood forward and thanked the electors for placing him in the same position as they did three years ago: That proved their undiminished faith in him, and their approval of the way in which he had fulfilled his trust during his term. of office (loud applause). He then proposed a a vQteofthanksto the returning officer and his assistants for the very able manner in which they had performed,their duty (cheers). Mr Wm. Williams seconded tj^proposal, and thanked the ratepayers for placing him sixth on the Poll. The election that day- had been fairly and honourably whduoted aind fought (cheers). Mr John Frimston thanked them, from the bottom of his heart.. Three years ago ho was placed fifth on the lut, but now be was third (cheers). That satisfied him, that they considered he had done his daty (loud applause). ,In response to loud calls, Mr Llewelyn Lloyd briefly returned thanka. He would try to do his duty, anl gain experience. Mr Taverner thanked those who supported him, and though defeated' this time,' that would not deter him from contesting at some future time (cheers). c The proposal was then put by Mr Taylor, and carried by acclamation. Several of the successful candidates were absent when the declaration was made, and therefore did not have the opportunfty of ad- dressing the assembly. After all was over Mr James Taylor en- tered a carriage, but he had no sooner taken his seat than a crowd rushed on to the vehicle and in spite of the strong remonstrance of the occupant, detached the horse, and pulled Mr Taylor in triumph to the Alexandra Hotel. A comparisom of the poll on Thurs- day with that of the 1882 election, would perhaps be interesting to our readers, and we aubioin both :— 1882 1885 1. James Taylor 1215 .1078 2. J Williams. 1074 779 3. J. Frimston 813 761 4. Llew. Lloyd 758 5. A. Humphreys 688 6. W. Williams 734 669 7. John Roberts 909 628 Mr Humphreys was elected at a bye-e'ec tion, and IMr Llewelyn Lloyd is the only new candidate elected this year. In the defeat of Mr Keatinge the town lost a good commis- sioner, and we can only hope that Mr Lloyd will fill the post so ably as Mr Keatinge did, and that the last named gentleman will view the matter in such good spirit as Mr Taverner did and resolve to try again." If blame can be attached to anyone for the non-return of Mr Keatinge, the Tory party must bear it. That party knew full well that Mr Keatinge's many excellent qualities as a municipal man were known to and apprecia ted by the Liberals, and the Tories left him to support another, thinking that with the aid of Mr Keatinge's numerous Liberal friends both might be returned. The effort failed, and the result is a loss to the town of one the best men who sat in the Council Chamber.

AST E R T IDE. V r. S.; Eastertide ia Rhyl did uot present features of unusual interest. The weather was beautiful! fine, and renujpjfcably favourable to holiday-ma0iag of every kiriSfcr On Good Fridfay the tows-pcJSemieG a very lively appearance A goodly number of the residents had left by the usual cheap train down the Vale in the direction of Denbigh, Ruthin, and Corwenj but their place was more than filled by a large number of visitors from those parts, as well as from Liverpool and other English towns. A large contingent of visitors accompanied the Bir- kenhead-Football Club,, who had a fixture for that morning with the Rhyl team (2nd eleven). In the afternoon, commencing at 3.30, the Rhyl (1st team) played a match with a club from Hurst (Ashton- under-Lyne). Both matches were witnessed by a large concourse of people. To a large number, though not the majority, of the residents and visitors, these games proved the greatest attraction or the day not a few ladies being also amongst the spectators. Religious services were held as ulual in the two churches, and at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Wellington Road all the services being well attended. The chief event of the day. however, was the demonstration by the United Bands of Hope. In many respects this annual event ia one of the most interesting and imposing demonstrations that take place in Rhyl. The several contingents, accom- panied by their friends congregated at the tnwn hall at one p.m. Here the procession was formed, and the sight was a pretty one, tha beautiful weather helping much to makd it so. The order of the procession walt as follows :—Queen street Band of Hope Welsh Baptists English Presbyterians Brunswick Welsh Wesleyans; Bethel, Vale Road, Calvinistio Methodists; Warren Road Cahinibtio Mothodists Clwyd street Calvinistic Methodists English Wesleyans. The procession was led by Mr John Proffit, the veteran temperance worker; and marshalled by Mr Wm. Parry^ 28, Abbey street. The total number of children was about 1000. Preceeded by the splendid Rhyl Brass Band, the procession, following very. yearly, the same route as on previous occasions, paraded the town, followed by a large crowd of spectators. Returning to the starting place, the bands of hope marched to their respective headquarters, where an abundant supply of tea oake &c., had been provided for them. The band of hope in connsction with the English Wesleyan Chapel, had a special treat, and as the circumstances under whiojh it was given are of a striking character, we make a special note of it. The feast which thay enjoyed was given them at the expense of Capt. and Mrs Groucutt. who, since the last demons- tration, had lost by the hand of death, two of their beloved children, who were both faithful members of the band of hope. Capt. and Mrs Groucutt, i memory of their loving ones, presented the tea on the present occasion. In addition to the tea, Ac., which was of a superior character, and highly en- joyed by the children and their teachers, oranges, &c., were also distributed to the children. Mrs Groucutt, though evidently much affected, superin- tended the feast with her usual kindness and ability. On the tables were four well-made urns, also presented to the chapel by Capt. and Mrs Groucutt, bearing the following inscription: — "Presented by Captain and Mrs Groucutt, in affectionate remeimbrarce of Elijah and Rettie" The event was a happy one, and made a very pleasing im- pression on both young aud old, who were present. The following ladies rendered kindly assistance by presiding at the tables :-fra Wiliams, Miss Rice, Mrs Jones, Miss Debney, Mrs Amos, Miss Hughes, Mrs Foster. Mrs Hulley, Mrs Mûdd, and Miss Gunner. At the conclusion of the tea meeting, Mr Charles Matthewa, iu appropriate terms, pro- posed a vote of thanks to Capt. and Mrs Grououtt for the tea and the useful present to the church Mr Jos. Williams, Gas Office, seconded the vote of thanks, and it was suitably spoken to by the Rev. W. Foster, B.A. The motion was carried with enthusiastic cheering for the Capt. and his good wife. Capt. Groucutt briefly and feelingly respond- ed, and meeting terminated. The evening meeting at the English Wesleyan Schoolroom wad presided over by by Capt Groucutt Prayer having been offered by the Rev.

Two important football matches were played again this day, and each were witnessed by enormous crowds. In the morning Rhyl played the celebrated Welsh "Druids" club, and iu the afternoon they played a very excellent team from Bootle. This latter match was the" benefit" of Mr T. Vaughan one of the "stars and most popular members of the Rhyl texm. In the evening the last" Pleasant Evening"— the 13th from the commencement—was given in the Town Hall, under the presidency of J. Ormiston, Esq There was a large andience, and a capital entertainment was enjoyed. The Winter Gardens Skating Rink, too, was exceedingly well patronised, skating and danoing being vigorously carried on by a large company of young people until half past nine. The music was supplied by the Rhyl Brass Band, who also played a good H" w., .J' selection of classic music. At the Pier Pavilliou a variety entertainment was given by a good" com- pany but, owing to want of proper advertising, the audience was meagre. The same company gave a sacred concert on Friday afternoon, and a variety entertainment on Saturday evening.. t ————-<-————

ST ASAPH DEBATING SOCIETY.…
ST ASAPH DEBATING SOCIETY. The last meeting of the winter session of thitf society took place on Wednesday evening, Aptil 1st, when a lively disoussion on Inventions v. Discoveries took place. Mr Thomas Jones, Pdtt Office, opened the debate by raiding an able paper 7 advocating1 the claims to superiority of the discover* er over those of the inventor. The latter, ha declared, was the follower of the former, and were it not for the disooverer the inventor would nof be called into existence. To be a discoverer required more presence of mind, courage and powers of en- durance. It required endurances to overcome the difficulties which were always found hrthef way of the pioneers of the human race. What almost in- superable obstacles did Christopher Columbus over- come before he crossed the hitherto untriMrernKl? ocean to add a New World to the Old, br the Portugese mariners doubled the Cape of Q-ood Hope and anchored their merchant fleets in the harbours of India, or Livingstone and H. M. Stanley laid open the Dark Continent to our eyes. Such men as theie deserved well of their country- men, for they opened to them harbours of refuge for the surplus population, and morepver they in their turn provided the mother country with many necessities, many luxuries, and many noveltws. For the present he could leave those who had braved the terrors of the mighty deep, and the unknown < future which lay before them to benent their race, and turn to the home disooveries. What he would ask, had exercised a more benefioial effect en the human tace than the disoovery of steam, and its < application to useful purposes. By thitr discovery' ef Watt's, new industries were opened, and large an4 commodious warehouses were rendered neoess- ary for the accomodation of the millions of people" employed in these industries. He considered the discoverer as one of the foremost of men. He first set out after the destruction of the Tower of Babel, and had uever through succeeding ages rested from his endeavours to benefit our common humanity. The Rev. B. Hughes in advocating the dalnit of" J" the inventor delivered a most eloquent and—from the result of the division taken later—conclusive speech. He at the first declared that he had not a carefully drawn up paper to present to his hearers, but absolute belief in his case made him confident that he would convince those present that the in- ventor was a more beneficial member-of apciety than, the discoverer. Criticising in general_term| the 1 tenour of his friend Mr Jones' paper he plainly asked what good would the discovery of steam, electricity, &c., have done to humanity had not the genius .of ipTipptor stegped in and hy his machines have adapted these great forces" t6' the"1 uses of men. Where would the discoverer of land across the sea have been had he not had the mariner's compass." The grandest truths of astronomy were mainly due to the making of the telescope and the perfection to which it had^arrived during this century. The fourth estate j of our realm was due to the inventor of printing than which a greater boon to society could hardly be foand. Lord Macaulay-the great historian—had given in undeniable terms his opinion that of bene- factors to the human race the inventor was tie- greatest. Was the man who aocidently stumblfi against a nugget of gold be compared with him who by the might of his genius had shewn to his fellow-men the way to utilise the latent power of Take away from St. Asaph the inventions. of the human mind, from the chemist, the draper, the printer, the railway station, aad the post office and leave the discoveries, what would be left ? The inventor was a creator by his genius by his intellect and by his power, and much as he admired the intrepidity of the discoverer he thought all would agree with him that the former was the greatest benefactor to his fellow-men. Loud cheers greeted the reverend gentleman as he resumed his seat. Mr John Wynne then facetiously advocated the claims of the inventor as well as of the discover. He consider that the steam-engine was a discovery ig.. the first instance which had been greatly and grandly improved. What good was the discovery of America to him ? Mr Easterby wished to protest against the in- ventor and discoverer being thus pitted against one another. They were twin brothers, and to oppose them to each other was just the same as asking which was the better kind of poetry, rhyme t tlinfc verse. In the division he intended to re main neutral, and he wished those who though with him to do the same. Mr Salisbury Jones supported Mr Easterby. The inventor was the aidor and abelto'' of the dig- ooverer. lie should, therefore, remijin,neutral«in the division. Mr John Lloyd, who was warmly ohefn^afl, m his maiden speech congratulated Mr Benjamin Hughes on his eloquent oration. He ridioulod the discoverer—as he termed him—who had declared we were tha descendants of the degenerate monkey. But he would praise any oae who Would" nnd out a1111 place where' we might consign the more dagepgratft L Irish- The President — Dr Easterby — then, pjit tjie question to the meeting, when the inventor had a A largjb majority. The Vice President—the Rev W. Morton—pro- posed a heaity vote of thanks to the two gentlemen who had so ably advocated, their clients' claims. He agreed with Dr Easterby; ht considering that the inyeptqr and discoverer .bpth-worked for one end; and should not be so opposed one 'to the other. At the same time, they had had a most interesting and^instructive debate.. Mr Mansbridge seconded the motion, whieh tvaS carried unanimously. "J A; vote of, thanks, was then proposed, and carried with acclamation, to the President, for his 'able conduct in the chair during the debates of the seeefion. it responding, Dir Easterby laid that h" thanked thejn most heartily for the vifce of thanVs which had' been i ■ust passed.

That officer came into the vestry fifteen minutes late, and etatad that he had been employed looking for a return of empty houses he had made by the desire of the Guardians, and had mislaid. He was asked to read a list of the ratepayers who had failed to pay the rates. He did so.—Mr W. Robinson asked why msname had not beon called, as he had not paid the first and second instalment of rates.—The officer said he must have omitted it by mistake.—Mr Joseph Lloyd: Very likely you omitted it wilfully. I, want to know why you did not read out Mr ) Robinson's name,—The officer refused to answer the question.—Mr Lloyd Then, as the assistant overseer refuses to answer my question, I will ask"' Mr Robinson what it1 the reason. —Mr Robinson r Well, the truth of the matter is this. The officer owes me a lot of money, and he pays the rateB for ) toe.—The officer was severely reprimanded for his negligence, and the vestry was adjourned, to give ) him an opportunity of producing his list of empty houses.—Messrs R.
