BEAUMARIS. ROYAL ANGLESEY ENGINEERS. -A further draft of 50 of the Royal Anglesey Royal Engineers left on Wednesday evening Their departure was witnessed by a large crowd of their comrades and of the general public. WOMEN'S TEMPERANCE UNI0N.The last meeting of tho session of the Beaumaris Welsh Branch of tho Women's Tcmperanoe Union was held yesterday week, in the C.M. Schoolroom. The members of the branch have 'been working for the soldiers and sailors du- ring tJhe winter months, and have sent parcels of socks, mufflers, belts, and mittens, to .Mise Mason, London; to Colonel Donaldson, and to Mrs Lloyd George. ENTERTAINMENTS.—The winter session of the Band of Hope in connection with the English Presbyterian Church was brought to a termination on Tuesday evening by an enjoy- able entertainment given by the mem'bers in the schoolroom. The Rev. H. P. Roberts, B.A., occupied the chair. A sad coincidence in connection with these meetings is the fact that news has just been received of the death in action 'of Sapper McCreedy, of the Royal Anglesey Royal Engineers, who, while he was in train- ing here in the early part of the winter, was a regular attendant and often addressed the children. On Thursday evening an entertain- ment for the soldiers was given at the Town Hall. OBITUARY.—On Wednesday night the death occurred of Miss W¡llia.ms, the proprietress of tho Williams-Bidkeley krnis Hotel. She had been in indifferent health for the past twelve mom he, and for some weeks her condition had caused great anxiety to her family.

Mies Wil- liam;, who was a native of Fishguard, for many years successfully managed the WiUiama- Bulkeley Arms Hotel. She relinquished her post to take up the managership of the Hotel Victoria, New Quay. Two years ago she returned to Beau- maris &3 proprietress of the hostelry of which she was formerly manageress.

FKlAItS SCHOOL, BANGOlt. j HEADMASTER'S REPORT. I At a meeting of the governors of Friari School, Bangor, on Wednesday evening, the Headmaster (Mr W. Glynn Wiiliams) preeeutcd his annual report. In 5pltc of a chronic need of iieoo^sarv funds and the special depression and disturbance onnsed by the war, the Headmaster efcufred he was happy to report that the- soh-ool 1n all important- respecits was in a satisfactory state. In April, 1914, E. W. C. Thorns was awarded the "John Hughes" exhibition of j320 a yo,&r for mathematics at the University College 01 North Wales. Th-e results of the Central Welsh lioard examination in July were as f'ÛJk;ws:-Honc-u.rs' stage: Meuxig Owen, came out. scoond in order of met t. in the honours' list for a.U Wales, w:itih dietinotion in all the three 5b jects he took up. viz., Latin, Greek, and app'-iei mathenia.tio9. W. n. Davics. was seventh on the honours' list, with distinotion in Hi story and ]--at: He also passed in Greek. H. R. Fisher, 75th on the passed in History and Latin, and in the higher oerdfiotafc* sbge ill Greek. The following six boys obtained the higher certificate:—G. D. Gelling, English language and literature, French (with conversa- tion), applied mathematics; O. Owen, additional rna-tihemixtics, phys.es, chemistry E. W. C. The mas, higher ma thematics, physics, ohemistry; G. L1. Williams, English 1-anguaige and litera- turo, history, French (with conversation), iseniior frtagd, m.a.bhe.nMboit, ajtd liat-iri; W. G. Williams, English language and literature, Latin* French (with conversation), senior stage, Greek; R. D. Wynnø, English language and literature, history, and FrenolL (wit.11 conversation). Nine boys got the senior certificate, of whom E. E. Glynn-e won distinction in ma-thematic?, and n.. 'v; Irame in bobh mathematics and chemistry. Twelvo boys gob the junior certificate with 21 marks of dbtinotion ih various subjects. One buy, Eivion Owen, secured distinction in six subjects, English laj!igu.;ige and literature, hio'.wy, arithmetio, mathematics, I<att:n. and French, and two otlier boys, A. P. W. Prltchard and G. Roberts, in three 5-iirbjects each. On the strength of the examination II. R. Fisher and E. W. C. Thomas were awarded county seholaraht'p ()-f £20 tencble for three years at iany place of higher education, M. Owen and W. D. Davies having secured such exhibitions in the previous years. In December last W. D. Davies entered for the scholaKjhijp ex- amination at Jesus' College. Oxford, for the purpose of praot'ea only, and to his (tho head- mast-Vs) surprisa he waa elected to the first Meyrick s-^holarship of £80 a year, aga-ir&t quit,a average competiitioiji, and would enter tlhe college next Ootober. An. incident which deserved mention occurred in the midsummer holidays, when a Friars boy, W. Owen, of Amlwch, saved from drowning a boy considerably older and bigger th^an himself. Owen was pulled under tho water throo timea before he effeotod the reeotte. For th's he was awarded the certificate of the Royal HumaJia Society. Among the Old BOYiI who were: Mr T. J. Griffiths, B. A., who i.n July hist took a first-class in honours h'f'.ory; Air W. H. Gray, H.&o.. who had taken his M.So. c'jf.gcee; P. B. Wti w, who had taken his H.S". degree w5h first-clas3 honours in Zoology; tho Rev. Morris Jones, M.A., of Jesus College, Oxford, formerly chaplain in H.M. 's Navy, and now rector of Ro;herfield; Peppa.rd, who had takeji li.vs D.D. degreo at Oxford; G. O. Hugliee, M.D., of Winnipeg, who visited England .in July, as the representati ve of that, Clity at the Medical Co-n^re.?«; and R. Levy, of Jesus Col- lege, Oxford, who recently won the Junior Kennicatt Scholarship for Hebrew of the value of JE120. It was open for competition among graduates only. I SCHOOL ORGANISATION. The numbers on the school roll during the three terms of 1913-14 were 142, 140. and 134 respectively. Had the entry last September been normal, or rather had the regular annual incireaso. of several years past been maintained, it would have been physically impossible to carry on the school with the present accommodation. This serious predicament was, however, averted by the war, and the present- soho-ol year had b"n started with 137, as agdinsfc 142 last year. The general organisation of the scilnool had been much disturbed by rapid changes in tho statr. changes duo partly to the war, but sti-M more to tho inadequacy of the salaries they offered. A new departure in the history of the school wua the appointment of two ladies to fill vacancies caus-ed by two of the staff, Mr H. F. D. Turner and Mr R. D. Richards, having joined the forces as officers. The demoralisation caused by this rapid succession of masters had been minimised by the loyal a&sist.anoa and co operation of an element in the school which it had always be-e ri his aim to nurse and foster, the upper boys of the school in therr official cipacity as prefccte and monitors. That element during this trying period would, he was sure, continue to be the most powerful instrument in his hands for tlhe maintenance of the best traditions of the school. The upper school, very efficiently assisted by Mr R. D. Richards, had also acted 8.5 sedtion commanders in the daily military drill, which had won high praise from expert irwpectors. He expressed his indebtedness to Captain Largdon, of tho "Clio," and M'ss Enid Davies, of Tre- borth, for lending a number of dummy rifles. The number of old Friars boys serving their King and country was 94, three in the Navy and 91 in the Army. This number included 28 commissioned officers in various ranks, two cap- tains, a- fair proportion of lieutenants, but mostly second-HeutenanLs. Three were on tho Roil of Honour- of thoso who had laid do-411 their lives for their oountry-Llioatenatit T. L. Pr it chard, R. W.F. Private R. Thompson., let Royal Dragoons; and Lieutenant Oswald Griffith. He also recorded with regret the dea-th of three old boys. Mr Augustus Vincent, of Treborth UohaJ; Mr R. B. Hufgliei, an exhibitioner of Jesus College. Oxford, who was drowned whilo bathing at Llanibrynmair; and Mr J. C. Evans, headmaster of Bala County School. Sir Henry Lewis proposed a. resolution oon- gr.g.tttl&t,in,g Mr Glynn Williams on hr's report, and coupling with it an a,ppreciabio.n of the work of the prefects and monitors in trying to keep up the tone of the school to such a high level. (hear, hear). Dr. Arnold, in seconding, remarked that Le perhaps had a more intimate connection with Friars than any other governor, and couild endorse all that had been aa.id. The Chairman (Dr. R. W. Phillips) said tlt3. if there was a better school in Wales than Friars he did not k n,ow it. Miss Mason, headmistress of the County School for Girls, expressed her app.reciat'on of tho 00- haviour of Friars School boys. She had always been stjruok by the wonderful influence there was in the saliool.

THE COUNTY THEATRE. I Local theatregoers should count themselves fortunate in being afforded the opportunity of witnessing such a powerful and wholesome y "The Walls of Jericho," presented at the County Theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday by Mr Ernest E. iNorris' talented company. (lnl play is satirical of what is known as the "Smart Set," with all its artiticiahty and shams. Jack Frobisher, having made a for- tune in Queensland, marries liady Alethea, the daughter of the Marquis of Steventon, and finds himself installed in aristocratic Mayfair, the foi bles and pleasures of which stiite him. He is sincerely in love with his pleasure-seeking wife, knowing she had a leart hidden away under the surface of a fashionable and pleasure-seeking nature. And to save her from gambling and the evil in- fluence of her "set," who thoroughly disguat him he blew a blast (and incidentally told not a few home truths) which quite upset the equanimity of his wife and her family. The interest in the play is maintained from first to last; in fact, the final word uttered is all- important. The dialogue is clever, and the piece is liberally adorned with neat epigrams. Mr Ernest E. Norris gave a most interesting and finished study of Jack Frobisher." His facial expression, which alone would have re- vealed the whole-hearted contempt for the set with whom, against his will, he associated; his vitriolic criticisms of the "aristocratic code of honour/' and hiil style and manner throug-hout won for him unrestrained ap- plause. It was a magnificent impersonation. As "Lady Alethea Frobisher" Miss Peggy Doyle acted with emotional intensity, parti- cularly at the clOoo the final scene. Tho transforma-tion in her character from the irresponsible bridge-loving, butterfly existence to the realities of life was cleverly done. Miss M. Turner's sketch of "Lady Westerby," a beautiful character, could hardly have been better. It stamped her as a conscientious ar- tiste. Mr Wilfred Comptcn, as "The Mar- quis of Steventon," with a wonderful flow of eloquence, was completely s-tiecersful, and Mr Leslie Barric depicted "rry Dallas" in just the right spirit. Mr Pereival Coytc was an admirable I, Hankey Bannister." Miss May Tree, as "Miss Hornington," Miss Molly Wheat-man as "Lady Parchester," and Miss Miriam Holt as "Lady Lucy Derenham," were all excellent and contributed largely to the success of the performance. Mr Henry Nourse as "Bertram Hannaford," and Mr Gerald Norton as ''Lord Marchraont," also did well. Two performances of the play will be given to-morrow (.Saturday) evenmg at 7 and 9 o'clock. Last night "The Lion and the Mouse" was given, and will be repeated to-night (Friday), I "GRUMPY." I FAMOUS PLAY NEXT WEEK. Next Monday, and the three following evenings, that famous play "Grumpy" will be staged at the County Theatre by Mr Chas. Windermere and his own selected company, of which the cast includes Mr Windermere as "Grumpy," by arrangement with Mr Cyril. Maude. It is a play in four acts by Horace Hodges and T. W. Percyval, and is very amusing. In fact, no pleasanter antidote for depression can be conceived, for "Grumpy" performs the double duty of interesting and amusing. If one's taste be in the direction of sensa- tionalism,, what more thrilling than the story of a purloined diamond, worth < £ 90,000, of the frenzied chase after the supposed thief, of the ultimate detection and exposure? On the other hand for those who love a hearty laugh, there is the acquaintance to be made of that wonderful old gentleman, Andrew Bullivant, "the most famous criminal lawyer of his day," and the fruitful source to the spectator of infinite and continuous merri- ment. Those who remember Mr Winder- mere's "Headmaster" a little while ago will flock to see him in Ii Grumpy." Popular prices ranging from 2s 6d to 4d, will be charged. For Good Friday and Saturday, Mr Hare has secured a film entitled "Tommy Atkinrs, Esq." This is a genuine film, presenting our friend in khaki in his various grades and ditties, going through a vigorous ..days train- ing in the field. It is infinitely refreshing to get away for a time from the mythical soldier of melodrama, and have something more prac- tical—if less poetical—of the man in khaki, who is doing so prominent a share in the nation's work just now.. -,All the scenes of "Tommy Atkins, Esq. are intensely real- istic. They how Tommy in the open-air, at his exercises, and Swedish drill, digging trenches, fixing barbed wire entanglements, and route marching. Not the least fascina- ting part of the daily scenes of the Army is the 'work of the British Red Cross Society. Another fine picture will be "The Road to Calais" (three reels). The story is thoroughly interesting, and besides showing some vivid and startling pictures, includes a number of striking views of life behind the scenes of a popular music-hall. There will be two performances each even- ing, at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., with a matinee on Saturday at 2.30 o'clock.
