Jones made some attempts to pay, but there were arrears amountinig to £20 outstanding now. In order to get better hold over defendant, Mr Cnamber- lain, on behalf of the Board, now asked for an order Ifor 9s per week for the maintenance of the two legitimate children1. When, the question of defend ant's means came to be considered, The 'Mayor said the man had been working for a fortnight for him., and he them got 26s per week as wages. An order for the. amount requested, was then granted..

(I Colwyn Bay Urban District Council. The New Rate. Mr. Wm. Davies's Pessimistic Views. A SPECIAL meeting of the Colwyn Bay and Col- wyn, Urban District Council was held on Satur- day to fix the amount of the general district rate, for the coming year. There were present Rev Thomas Parry (chair- man)',Councillors H. Davies (vice-chairman), H. Hughes, George Bevan, J. Bertih Jones, Row- land! Williams, Thomas Roberts, Wm. Davies, together with the clerk (Mr Jos. H. Roberts), and the collector (Mr R. Roberts). Mr Hugh Hughes moved that the rate for the coming year be fixed! at 5s 6d. Councillor J. Dicken seconded. Councillor H. Davies supported the motion, and remarked that he was glad that the rate had not been increased. There had been rumours that an addition would' be made, but they were, very fortunate in being able to manage upon the same, rate as last year. Councillor W. Davies said that he was not so confident as Mr H. Davies. He looked upon it rather from the other side. He would be very glad indeed if they could' pay their way upon the rate proposed, but he. was afraid the com- mittee, who had fixed the amount, were shirking something, and that they would find thetaselves at the wrong end of the stick. He understood that there was an additional call of Z700 from the Cowlyd xsoard, which had not been taken into consideration. And another thing, he did not see in the ,estimate that they had; put any money to meet the interest on the gas purchase. The Chairman That has not been. called for yet. Mr W. Davies: It will be called for very soon, However, it's the responsibility of the committee. I hope you are in the right this time. The Chairman We are always in the right, Mr Davies. Mr W. Davies I am, afraid the committee is shirking it. I am, afy,ai,d that you are under- estimating. The Electric Works Committee A Councillor: They can look after their own business. Mr W. Davies persisted in making allegations about the various committees, 'and The Chairman called him to order and re- quested him not to make insinuations which he could not prove. Mr W. Davies I have proved all my state- ments. The Chairman: You have failed to. prove them many times. Mr W. Davies There is a clique of you, and you are trying to govern the town. The Chairman: Yes, and there's another clique which is trying to upset it. (Laughter.) Mr W. Davies Yes, and I tell you that this clique will defeat some of you before long. I beg to move that tnis estimate be referred back to the committee. In reply to a question by Mr Rowland, Wil- liams re the 6700 .call from: the Cowlyd Board, Mr evan said that last year when the precept was made, besides the expenses involved, there was a certain sum of arrears due to the Cowlyd Board for an amount that should have been paid in previous years, and owinig to over-estimating the arrears had increased as well as owing: to the inability of the Board to borrow a certain sum. The precept last year was made with the idea of clearing off these arrears, and so wipe off the balance. If they paid this precept this year again they would clear the whole balance away. He would therefore strongly advise, the Council to leave, the rate as it stood. He felt that the position of Colwyn Bay was exceedingly satis- factory. This Cowlyd precept will very likely drop down from is 7d to nearly a shilling in a short time. There was a probability that a 5s 6d rate would meet the liability of their sew- erage scheme. With regard to the statement that the committee are shirkin'g in the matter of the Gas Company, he would like to say that if there would be any loss i on the gasworks, it would go on the next rate, and nolt on the: on-e preceding it, as Mr W. Davies seemed to think. The reasoni why the Cowlyd Board call was is 7d was that one year was missed some time ago, 'and, now that has to be made up. There beinig no seconder to Mr W. Davies's amendment, it was lost, and the original motion was carried'.

Choral Festival at Llanrwst.

Choral Festival at Llanrwst. IN the historical edifice of the quaint ParishChurch of St. Crwst the annual choral festival was held on Thursday afternoon and evening last. Both meetings were unqualified successes. The deanery of Llanrwst comprises the parishes of Llanrwst, Llangerniew, Llanddoget, E-IIwys- fach, Capel Garmon, Yspytty, Trefriw, Llanrhos, and Deganwy, and the contingents of choristers attending from each of the above parishes were larger than has been the case for some years past. The festival is growing in favour, and little wonder need be expressed when one finds that they are productive of such beautiful singing, besides giving a real impetus to this important branch of divine worship. Mr WTalker Davies, of Blaenau Festiniog, pre- sided with his usual skill at the organ, and Mr D. D. Parry, the organist of St Mary's Church, conducted the meetings with his accustomed zeal and musical instinct. A rehearsal was held at one o'clock. English Service. The first service was held at thrte p.m., when the church was well filled t.o the stirring strains of Thome's processional hymn, "Through the night of doubt and sorrow," the procession of clergy representing the various parishes above- mentioned, emerging from the vestry and taking their places in the chancel beyond the beautiful rood screen. The service was intoned by the Curate of Llan- rwst (the Rev J. J. Jones). The music was Tallis's in G. The cxlv. and cxlvi. Psalms were sung to chants in G and C of R. Cooke and Dr Woodward respectively, which were neatly and effectively rendered. The Rev John Gower, lately recovered from his recent indisposition, read the first lesson, followed by Dr Garrett's Magni- ficat." The second lesson was read by the Rev W. D. Davies, Vicar of Llangerniew. The Nunc Dimittis" was then feelingly rendered to a chant of Sir John Goss's. The musical feature of each gathering is, of course, the anthem, the pivot upon which the labours of the choirs is shewn, and Dr G. M. Garrett's beautiful anthem, In hnmble faith and holy love," was satisfac- torily sung, the pathetic soprano solo, In this sad vale of tears below," being feelingly interpre- tated by Miss Marion Lee, a member of St. Mary's Church Choir. The hymn before the sermon was Come, Holy Ghost, our souls in- spire to an arrangement of the Rev J. B Dykes. The preacher was the Rev J. Lambpitt, B.A., vice-Principal of the Bangor Training College, who preached from the 16th verse of the third chapter of Colossians Teaching and admonish ing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." The rev. gentleman's discourse was entirely devoted to the beauties of music. He confessed that he felt jealous when he saw announced that such noble works as Mendelssohn's Elijah," Handel's "Messiah," and Haydn's "Creation" would be sung on Eisteddfod and concert-hall platforms. Such devotional works should find their places in the Houae of Him that gave all good things, and in musical Wales, where the love of song was so great, why not have Spohr's Last Judgment at Advent and the Messiah at Christmas ? He instanced cases where he was surprised what even small choirs could do in churches where such had been tried and been successful. And why not have their festivals in Wales like they had in Hereford, Gloucester, and other places ? The pains, the planning, and the sacrifices given to these works might be made to the glory of God. The Church was the home, or should be, of such noble and inspired works. They lost a lot of their devotional feeling on the concert platform. He thought the effect of music- in services had an uplifting and ennobling tendency upon worshippers, and the day would be an evil one were we to return to those days when the beauty of song was little known in the Church. The preacher's sermon was illumined with graceful and eloquent tributes to the arc of music and its consecration on its highest pedes- tal, the worship and glorification of God. The sermon evidently bad an inspiring effect upon the congregation, for the singing of Barnby's For all the saints, who upon their labours rest was magnificent. The afternoon service was brought to a close by the rendering of Dr Monk's recessional hymn, At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow." The Welsh Service. At six p.m., divine service was again opened by the rendering of the processional hymn, 11 Driiw mi welaf dorf o seintiau," the words being from the pen of the late Bishop Lloyd, of Bangor, to a tune of the Rev HyltOn Stewa't, viz., "St. Catherine." The Rev J J. Jones again intoned the service. The cxix. Psalm, in four sections, to chants by Fitzherbert, Dr J. Nabos, and Dr Rinibault, was spiritedly sung. The Rector of Llanrwst read the first lesson, and Sir Frederick Ouslev's Cantate Dominio was rendered. The Vicar of Yspytty (the Rev E. M. Edwards) read the second lesson, and then followed Owain Alaw's glorious anthem, Oydgenwch i'r Arglwydd," the rendering of which was a revelation to all present. Grand attack, purity of tone, and an imbibing of the true spirit of the words were all conspicuous. The trying bass solo was undertaken by Mr Parry himself, who, needless to say, executed it wonder- fully well, albeit the voice was small. Following the bass solo was a charmingly-rendered duet, "Efe sydd yn rhoddi i'r anifail ei borthiant," by Mrs Thomas (National Schools) and Mr Morris Williams. The item was quite the feature of the anthem, the voices blending most effectively. Mendelssohn's Dusseldorf was sung before the sermon, preached hy the Rev D. Jones, Vicar of Abererch, from the following text:—Ruth i., part of 16th verse: "Entreat me not to leave Thee." Hengwrfc was sung after the sermon, and the recessioual hymn (" Cluuig "), "Y Lan Gaersalem Newydd," brought to a close the suc- cessful choral festival of 1902 of the deanery of Llanrwst. As to the quality of the voices, nothing but praise can be bestowed. The sopranos were strong and in tune; the altos, although not quite so strong, were of rare quality; the tenors were not apparently as strong as one would wish, but the timnre was there and the basses were deep, sonorous, and extremely melodious.

WELSH RECTOR IN A CARRIAGE ACCIDENT. A SERIOUS carriage accident befel the Rector of Erbistock and his family as they were driving home from Wrexham on Thursday evening. When passing Pontyffrwdd, Marchwiel, the resi- dence of Mr Robert Samuel, the horse took fright and dashed the carriage into a passing convey- ance. The occupants of the rector's carriage were badly thrown, especially Mrs Sparling, who suf- fered severely owing to a hairpin injuring her head. Mr and Mrs Samuel rendered every assistance, and after some time Mrs Sparling was well enough to be conveyed to Erbistock Rectory, where she was attended to by her medical adviser
