In tiheir report deaikig with tlie Marine La2e, the Road Committee reconimended. the (Jouneii n-ot ,o £ ihare in the cost of fencing for the pro- tection of the property, and for masking feho place near Uu- vvarer chute, on spatial oooasxma, by means of a canvas screen. As to darna,ing the ti-ees ata-d o-uier property in the gardens, the Clerk wax instructed to communicate with the pdltoe, and the Surveyor was instructed w> pro- ceed with t.i.e work of repairing the damage al- ready done to the itmci-ig. As to SuDdav trad- ing, of tobacco-, fruii, eto., in the grounds, the Clerk was instructed to let the leasees know that tbc- Council obj-sctod to such traetong. A 1) application by the lossecs to allow Sunday t boating in the lake was referred by the com- mittee to we Council. Mr T. D. Joiae.i .said he considered it wauud be against the hest. ii;tcre»ts oi the town to open the lake on Sundays for boating, amd he was strongly opposed bo it. In the; past the Coun- oil hiwfrrefused to allow boating" eCl the lake on. Sunda; s, ajid he asked th-c-m 10 adTnere to that dtecisicn. Already there was a great deal of complaint that boys and others congregated there On Sunday, and were a nuisance. If there was boab.ng matters vreui-1 bo matoh worse, lie pro- pOioe.ct that the,- refiise to allow Sunday boating-. H,wao opposed to the Council doin-g anything WiH-uii w-ould help to make for a Continen.iai Sun-day, Mr E. G. Evans seconded tlie motion, and con- sidered that the Rostd Corumi Wee, when the matter lirst caitio before them, should have re- fused to consider it. He looked upoa the Road CoJiim.Uee as tlie most weake-firo comsmiii-e-e they had Oil" Tho committee had protested against Sunday trading- a-t the lake, and why- did tjh-ey not go further aindt rcfiuse to c-r.tertain Sunday boatiIJ.u:: In .b;;s opiniocv the Couueil siboukil set their face against any innova&iotn whielh would: deaeorate the Sabbatii, and he was su-r^ Jtlutt ÏLWôi6 net the wish of tihe ratepayers of Rj. -i that tÚoey .should' open their lake for boat- ing cm Sunday. He was no "Kill Joy" him- self. and if the ratepayers declared that they wanted boating lIe would vote tor .t but he now opposed it as lie believed they did not want it. It not Qs if the lake was to be opened for recreation it was to fwa-n profits aad dividends, ana if ia»y_ made taie lake into a fai-r ground the next thing- woTddi be applying for a licence. -Vir Ix.J] urged that the members in dealing with questions of that kind! should be modes-ate in uheir choice of laiiig liage-. While one oouid imagine reason-a-b:e argxinjents being used there was no reaison in the line taken by Mr Evan. It was no inno.ation to have Sunday boating at Rbyl. There was boating u. the Aea and on the river, the gaane as in the parks of the largo town;, and on the Continent. There would bo far less annoyance by people boating than there wai jn coaching ajid the use of private carriages into the country. Mr T. D. Jones: We have no oomroti over ths (yyad.\œ. Mr Hill said lie locked' upon the boating as in innocent form of recreation., ajid it, was far harmful than people g"Oing coach drives beyond the three-mile limit and having drink. It was the duty of a public authority lake the Rhyl Council to provide recreation for visitors :1. veil as for resident*, and it, whs a welLknown fact that it was the visitors who suf>fx>rted the lake. It was not only a que-stkm of dividetudi. but of providing recreation, although the lessees of the lake had spent thousands of pound.. on the place they expected to have fome return for t. He considered that boating s-houkl be allowed on the lake on Sundays within oertainlimits. Mr E. D. Evani strongi-y oppowod opening the lake fcr boating, da id thait the majority of (>eoj)'.e wouid be again-st it. He had never heard or;-1 visitor complain of the lake being closed, and he was opposed to increa^m-j the facilities for Sunday desecration. Mr Cheetham said he represented the same ward as Mr H.¡ and was mire that, if an eloc- t'ion were fought on the matter there would be 90 per cent, of the people against- it. It was the only que.;i ion put to him when he wag can- Vtlg in the ward, and he was repeatedly asked to oppo?w? ojveiling the lake on Sundays. He oonsidered that .the Road Committee had acted wi-el'.y in asking the Council let decide the matter. Mr Hughes (from the offioe of Mr Joseph Lloyd, solicitor) a-ked to be allowed to. address ,lw Council on behalf of the lessees of the lake. Ho said the company only asked to be granted tlie ?a.me facilities at the lake as were allowed the boatmen on the sea, the motor boats, oier- steamer-, ampiiitheatre, marine gardeti|i and pavi'.ion. AIl of those oouid Ofsen on Sundays, and yet boating was not permitted on the. lake. The company natunÚly expected. iJOme return for the money they had spent, and it was a well- known fact that between 400 and 500 visitors had called at the lake on Sundays, t.rA went away in disgm-t when told that they eould not have the m' of a boat on that day. Mr Perka said the Cour.eil had no control over some of the, oonoems mentioned by Mr Hughes. Mr Taverner: We have control of the Pavil- ion, and we open that. By a I/trg-c majority. the Cotmcil o^-tded not to allow the :ab, to be^tised for boating on Sundava. CYCLI^Cr AND PHOTOGRAPHING. "vir" Phillips said the Lessees had placed, a notice at the entrance to the lake prohibiting cyclists from riding inside the grounds. He considered that they had no authority for doing that, aa it was a pubCic plaoo. Again, a notice was erected to the effect that no camera was to be lahm into t.be grounds without the writ en pej^iiisdou of the manager, but amateurs ould ta.k photographs provided they did not txibnsh them. That, again was wrong, as the lessees oouid not prohibit anyone photographing in t i,-c "rounds and doing what they liked with the pie- All the leasees or the Council could <lo W4J3 to close the lake 12 days in eacih year and to Avake a charge for admi<wrion; t. could place no restrictions on the public beyond that. Mr Hill explained that the notice as to eyciing was for the ety of the public, as there c.nlv a footpath there. Mr Taverner agreed, and the matter then diX) COUNCIT/8 DETERMINATION. It "was reported that the Surveyor had bad an interview with the County Surveyor as to the estimates for the maintenance of maan roads, and that the Countv Coumei'l adhered to their disaflotranee of £134 for scavenging and1 tar paving. Mr E. G. Evafig moved that as the Town Sur- veyor had failed to get the £ 134 a deputation should wait in the Main Roods Comma thee. Mr J. IL Bllia explained that they would not do as muoh to tOO roads if they could not set the uuiucy.

Mr Maxwell, engineer to the Pier Company, asked! to be allowed1 ,0 appear before (Jie Coun- cil. and on bf»mg adSiwtted laid before tlie meet- ing a, sohiMno for providng sea-water bathe at the pior. He statedi that it was proposed to con- struct two baths, one with sha&ow water for childre.i, tmd a-notiber with deep water for atluiits. The batbs would bo placed on either side of tho new pier, and there would be dres- sing rooms underneath tho structure. Th:- hatha would be filJtxt at each tide with fresh sea- water, and would bo 220 feci by 50 feet. Thero would also be a gallery for spectators when aeq-uatic sports wora held. The scheme was ing prex>ared, amd m du. course plana would be submitted, but the Pier Company wished' to ob- tain tlie sametion of the Council to the principle, as it was a new idea. Mr Hill urged tlhe Council to support the sobs-me, as the baths would permit of people bathing in sea-water whether tho tide was in or out. On the motion of Mr E. B. Jones, it was decided to approve of the- scheme, subject to plans and details being* subnuttedt. PROPOSED EXTENSION OF WEST PROMENADE. The Surveyor submitted plans of two sschotries, and read a special report on both, estimating the cost of one it. C934, phis cost of additional fore- shore, etc., and of the other at £ 740. After dis- cussion, it was decided to instruct tfce> Surveyor to furnish, for the considiera-cion of the committee at their next meeting, an estimate of cost of a short length of extension of iihe Promemade, and of sudh work as was absolutely necessary for making the end of t.he Promenade as it now s^atndfe sate tig-iv-ni^ft damage by tlld sea. The Clerk was irustnicted to communicate with the Office of Woods, etc., and owners of propertv, for their oont-riw.tions, as to the propovscd exten- sion of t-ii, toad to Foryd under one of the schemes re-fcrred to.

CHURCH MISSIONARY SOCIETY. ANNUAL. MEETING OF THE LLA?#RHOS BRANCH. The annual meeting of tiie Llaiirhos Branch of the Church of England Missionary Society, was at Gloadaeth Hail, by the kind per- mission of the Hon. Lady Augusta Most-yn, on Monday afternoon. Lord Mostyin presided, and was supported on the platform by the Vicar of Llanrhos (Rev. J. F. Reece), who conducted a brief service at the outset. Lord* Mostyn extended a hearty wdoome to all preswint on behalf of Lady Augusta Mostyn, who was unable to bo j>re«ent at the meeting. Ho prooeeded to say that that was tlhe 25th year in which the meeting of the Society had been hcld at GloddaeVh. and all had been very siuc- hi iVnioh the meetings of the Society had beoti warrzily siupporteti by the people of that parish, and also by those who were .ki.nfl c-iiougih to come up from I to the meetings. 'J11"'2' were specially favoured that day by the presence of His Lordship the Bisrtiop of Leoiao. lIe himself had, a; they knew, a short while ago, travelled round the world, ajid he had during- ilhat tour s ^n a good deal of the Churoh Missionary Society's work, and from what he had seen of it., it was doing excellent service in all quarters of the globe (hear, hear). The Secretary for the home of the Church Missionary Society then addressed the meeting. Ilcf said he trusted tha-t Lord Mostyn would long continue to allow those meetings to be held at Gloddaeth, a. his honoured mother had! done for so long (hear, hear). He wished to correct a little error. He was not now the Bishop of Sierre Leone as his lordship had stated, although he had occupied that position for fourteen years.
