THE SEASON.—The influx of visitors dur- ing A ugust has far exceeded expectations and it is sure to say that the records for a good many years past have been eclipsed. Most of the visitors iia-il from Manchester and Liver- pool. Free bathing appears to be greatly on the increase, which lli a loss to bathing-van proprietors.

Williams, J. Harrison (Llantair- fc-cillit Hotel), Evan Williams (Bryn Eitiiiii), and W. Owen (Tan-y-Marian). A PROUD RECORD. — Councillor II. Jorss, writing to a daily contemporary, states: "In your issue of August 19th tnere was a letter signed Visitor' on the bathing at Llanfairfechan. 1, as a boatman of many years' experience in the town, would like your correspondent.to point out where the dangerous currents at Llanfairfechan are. There has never been a life lost either by boating or bathing to any visitor staying at Llanfair- fechan during the whole 4U or 45 years of its ex- ist-onee as a watering-place. The accident on Tuesday was not at all owing to drowning, but owing, according to the medical evidence at the inquest, to heart failure. The two narrow escapes your correspondent refers to happened in conse- quence of the bathers ignoring the regulations of the District Courcil protiibiting bathing from the jetties. I hope that, should this letter meet tho eye of your correspondent, he will make himself known to me and inform me of the dangerous currents here." RED CROSS FLAG DAY. t In response to a letter received by the chairman of the Urban Council (Mr J. D. Williams) from the Hon. Mrs Lloyd Mostyn requesting him to organise a collection for the sick and wounded under the auspices of the St. John Ambulance Association and the British Red Cross Society, he at once called together the Ladies' Committee, which was responsible for the success of the Russian Flag Day. The collection was very successful, the village being gaily decorated with bunting. The follow- ing ladies, assisted by numerous helpers, rendered usef ul work in selling the L'nioa Jack and Red Cross flags:-iNIrs Henry Hughes, Mrs Gray, Nurse Hughes, Misses Ellis and Mann, Mrs W. M. Eames, Misses Bate, Mrs Cusson, Missea Fiynn, Misses Morrison, Miss Williams, Wern; Miss Jones, Plus Coed; Miss Owen, Dolerw; Mrs T. J. Owen, Mrs Wilkie, Misses Gaston, Mrs Griffith, Henllys; Mrs W. G. Roberts, Bryn Mor; Miss Williams, Hall Bank; Miss Gwladys Williams, Sister H. J. Jones. Mrs Coxon again acted as hon. treasurer, and Mrs Chas. Fisher as hon. secretary. The total subscriptions and collection amounted to the sub- stantial sum of E41 Is lOd. The Chairman (Mr J. D. Williams), in thanking all those who ha.j taken part in making the Flag Day such a success, referred specially to the work ot the hon. treasurer (Mrs Coxon) and the hon. secretary (Mrs Chas. Fisher), and also Miss Bate, Bryn Unen, who had undertaken to supply all the col- lectors with Red Cress badges, and Masters Harry and Emlyn Fisher, who had given valuable help to "complete the arrangements. UNOBSCURED GHTS. I U s At Bangor Police Court On Tuesday, Alec. Finbiirgh, of the Portland Hotel, Great Portland- street, Lrondon, wm summoned for failing to ob- eouro a light visible from the sea. The defendant waa staying at Llanfairfechan at the time. At the last court a letter was read from him in which he alleged that P.C. Wm. Jones walked "into the sitting room and in a moat impertinent manner demanded the name of the oooupier." He also said the constable told him to mind his own business. The oa^o was adjourned to enable Mr Finburgh to substantiate his allegations. Supt. Griffith Laid the allegation made against the oonsta.ble had not the slightc-st foundation, and if allowed to paes un- noticed might have had serious consequences for tho constable. P.C. Wm. Jones said the light in the defen- dant's room was visible two miles away. There was not the slightest truth in the allegation made against him by the defendant. Mr Rice Hughes, a special oonstable, gave simi- lar evidence, and described the precautions taken by him to obooure the lights at his house. First of all he had a white blind and a dark blind on the same roller, and some terra cotta ourtains, and in addition he shaded the lamps. Mr Harold Evans, for the defendant, pointed out that precautions were taken, though they turned out to be insufficient. The defendant was not .able to come down to substantiate what he stated in the letter against the constable, and the statements would bo withdrawn, but that had no- thing to do with the charge. Mr Thoma.3 Roberts (a magistrate) It is a very improper thing to make a charge awid then run away without substantiating it. A fine of 20s was imposed.

LOCAL AMUSEMENTS THE COUNTY THEATRE. As an artistic production "Tho Pearl Girl" performed on Monday and the two following evenings, was very successful. Prom the opening scene to the last there was quite a riot of colour, 1jho sceirery iu particular being charming. Tho play deals with the adventures of a lady typist who masquerades as an aristocratic owner of priceless pearls, and it is jmnctuated by numerous diverting situation' Phere are many tuneful numbers in the work. The sing- ing of the chorus, at tiroes, left a little to be desired, especially tho male section, .who showed a tendency to Uta ke up what they lacked in numbers by forcing their voices. Most of the fun devolved upon "Byles, the lugubrious messenger of Joy," impersonated by Mr Wm. Rokeljy, who, by familiar methods, caused much merriment as the ubi- quitous "Mr Jocks," manager of the Palmyra Pearl Shop. A good deal of work devolved upon Mr Frank Dale, whose love-making was very funny. Miss Psycho Ie M-esurier was a .qlac, (tn l 1.4 i,% Audrey charming "Miranda Pepl&c, and Miss Audrey Leslie made a fascinating "Madame Alvaraz. Miss Julia Bassett contributed a clever low comedy study as Miss Baxter Brown." "OGTC AST. Clever acting was witnessed at the Theatre last nignt by the company who produced "Outcast." aptly described as a "real" p!ay.. It deals with a side of life seldom pictured on the stage, and tho narration of theptot would tend rather to spoil the enjoyment of those who wish to see the play. But the greatest surprise is reserved for the end, and it is safe to -say that very few anticipated that the curtain would descend upon such a novel situ- ation. As played by Messru Robert Burnett and Ed- ward Cooper's Co., "Outcast" has the quality of really and actually maintaining the "grip" of the audienoe from start to finish. Misc, Maud. Smart in the roie of "Miriam," the "unfortunate" who saves a lover who ii thrown over by his sweet- heart from going to the devil (as he puts it), h-ais a part wnich makes heavy demands upon her; a part requiring careful treatment, otherwise some of the situations would be completely spoilt. She, however, emorged from the ordeal with great suc- cess, and her aKrting, particularly in the l dcenø, wa-a quite a triumph- Mr Warwick Warde did' ample just: e to the part of "Geoffrey," which is pitched in rather a gloomy key. His acting was throughout. very impressive. In roles of lecher im- portance Mr Robert Burnett as "Tony;" Mr .frank Lister as "Hugh;" Mr Grahanl Dane as Taylor;" Niks Ei:ther White.houso as "V ale-n- tine;" and Miss Una Mainwaring and Miss Mary Burnham did excellent work. in short the cast could hardly be improved upon, and they man- aged to skilfully skate over what at times was very thin ice. iiie pi-ay will be repeated to-night and to- morrow night. NEXT WEEK'S ATTRACTIONS. I hat ever-green favourite, "Charley's Aunt," written by Mr Brandon Thomas, and the history of which has ooen one unbroken series of triumphs ever since its first appear- anoe ait the Royalty Theatre, tweuty two years ago, will visit the C-ounty Theatre next Mon- day and the two following evenings. III comedy "Charley's Aunt" takes the same pro- ninent position that the Giibert-Sullivan pro- ductions do in comic opera, and so far no works of a more :n:.ode.tn date have in any way encroached upon the popularity of either, It has became as much a classic in the land as have the works of Charfbs Dickens among authors The humour in it rings true and full, and any who wish to enjoy an even- ing of healthy fun and amusement should take this opportunity of welcoming such an old friend. The oast includes Mr Percy Crawford as "Lord Fan court Babberley" (Charleys Aun,t), Miss Surrey-Vaughan as "Donna Lucia" (tho real Charley's Aunt), Mr J. R. Crauford a.3 "Colonel Sir Francis Chesney," Mr Arnold R-eyner as li Jack Ohesney," and Mir James E. Page in the part of "Stephen Spottigue," the sentimental solicitor. "THE QUAKER GIltL." On Ihursday and the two following even- ings, with a matinee on Saturday at 2.30 p.m., "The Quaker Girl" will occupy the boards. Mr J. II. Shaw (by special arrange- ment with Mr George Dance) is bringing down his premier production. "The Quaker Girl" is a musical comedy beloved by all theatre-goers, for it is full of melodious music. The leit motif of the piece is demureness, a dormrreness tha. is roguishly sly, but never unpleasantly so. Prudence (the Quaker Girl) is bewitching whether in garb of russet brown, in her own native vil- lage, in pearly grey in tho costumier's salon in Paris, or in a glorified Quakeress confec- tion at the ball. Miss Daisy Bray plays "Prudence" (the Quaker Girl); Mr Leslie Ward, "Captain Charteris"; Miss Elsie Skillings, "Madam Blum"; Mr Louis WigLey, "TOllY Chute"; whilst Mr Dan Roh30ll impersonates the fas- cinating "Prince Carlo." In fact the whole cast is a very strong one with a full chorus under the direction of Mr W. Greenwood. Scat:-) may now be booked at Messrs Jarvis aud Fester.

MESSRS JOHN PRITCHARD I AND CO S SALES. MENAI BRIDGE SMITHFIELD. I RECORD SHOW OF SHEEP AND LAMBS. I One of the largest and best sales of fat stock ever witnessed at the Menai Bridge Smithfield took place on Monday, when Messrs John Prit- chard and Co. ditiposed of stock to the value of upwards of 93000. Trade showed a considerable improvement for fat cattle, due to the better re- ports from the off markets. Sheep and lambs met a slightly better trade than the previous foitnight, when upwards of 1500 sheep and lambs were all cleared, a large number being pur- chased for seaside and other resorts in North and South Wales. Fat bullocks made up from 222 to £27 5s, and heifers from S18 to £ 22 15s, an average of 55s to 60s per cwt. In-calf cows and heifers made up to JB15, store bullocks £ 9 to £ 11 10s, and store heifers £10 to ;C12 10,4.

VALLEY SMITHFIELD. I GREAT DEMAND FOR CATTLE AND I SHEEP. Messrs John Pritchard and Co. held pieir August sale at the Valley Smithfield, on Wednes- day, in the presence of the largest company of buyers and sellers ever seen here. Although th,) catalogue contained an entry of 60 fat and store cattle and 550 sheep and lambs, it was generally acknowledged that double the quanitty of stock could very easily have been sold, and many well- known buyers had perforce to return home empty- handed. Buyers from Manchester, Chester, Rhyl, Colwyn Bay, Llandudno, Carnarvon, Holyhcnd, and other districts were present, and a good sale resulted. Comment was freely made on the good quality of the stock, particularly the beef, for which the district is noted. Subjoined are the chief prices:- Ten fine three-year-old bullocks from Mr R. Rowlands, Aberalaw, made J630 10s, J629 15s, S29 jE28 10s (twice), J327 (twice), down to £ 23 15s; three bullocks from Mr Owen Hughes, Trogwehelydd, made L32 12s 6d, J626 10s, and JB30 5s; from Mr Rd.

GOVERNMENT AND THE MINERS. A now dcvclopiren.t arose yesterday in the South Wales coal deadlock. A joint letter eignod by Mr RimcLman, Mr Lloyd George, and Mr Arthur Henderson has be-en sent to the South Wales Mint 1 a' Federation setting forth the Government's vie.vs on the men's refusal to aooeipt Mr R.unciman's award as binding, and there is no indication that the President of the Board of Trade will accede to their request to meet thoii in ..confe-.rrnceo again. 1e?-t t or (.,ia y s tili?e 7'itne? ) to Llie Ihe !e-iber (aays HIe 7tt?c\) co?r/eys to the men an intimation that, in the opinion of tho three members of the Cabinet concerned, there was a definite understanding that Mr Runoiman's award was to be acoopted by all parlies as a final settlement of the dispute. It does not appear, therefore, that any use- fu' purpose can be served by the deputation again -waiting upon them. i
