ST. ANN'S (Bethesda). UNIVERSITY Succces.-It is gratifying to note that Mr O. B. Williams, Ffynnon Bach, has been re- commended by the Tbeologioal Examiners of Durham University, at their recent Matrioulation Examinations, for & scholarship of the annual value of JE30. Considering the facta that Mr Williams was but six months or thereabouts preparing for the examination, that there were twenty-five oandidates for live scholarships and exhibitions, and that he obtained the third best, Mr Williams has done excellently. His efficiency at his first examination speaks highly of his knowledge of divinity, a subject which he has had always greater taste for than any other.

ST. ASAPH. I ENQUIRY INTO ST. ASAPH CHARITIES. I On Tuesday Mr David Lewis, barrister, ap- pointed to enquire into the charities of Denbigh- shire and neighbouring counties, held an enquiry at the County Buildings into the charities of St. Asaph aud neighbourhood. There was a moderate attendance of the general public, including the Very Rev. the Dean and other olergymen, and the trustees of the several charities of the parishes and townships of Bodelwyddan, Faenol, Cefn, Wigfair, Meiriadog, and the city. The BARRISTER enquired at some length into the Waen oharities, which consisted of a farm and lands left by one Elizabeth Williams for the benefit of the poor of St. Asaph, and a moiety of the annual rent to be given to the grammar school for the education of poor boys, the remainder to be given in clothing to poor people and in paying towards the elemen- tary school. The trustees appointed were the vicars of St. Asaph. Mr PETER BROWN, the vicar's agent, gave evidence as to the management of the charity, from which it appeared that the total receipts were £119, and of that sum L55 had been given to the Grammar School, and after retaining a small balance in hand the remainder had been disposed of as directed in the will Vicar WILLIAMS presented a list of the last year's recipients, which was read by the barrister. The Rev. B. HCOHES, C. M. minister, said he did not think there were any Nonconformists in that list, and asked if they were allowed to share in the county. Vicar WILLIAMS thoaght Mr Hughes should take the list for several years, and not for one as he had done, and he would find that half of the recipients were Nonconformists. Creed was never taken into account in tha distribution. The Rev. B. HUGHKe asked if Nonconformists were ever asked to supply names of deserving person Vicar WILLIAMS said they were asked privately to send in names, aDd they had done so. Mr Peter Roberts could substantiate the statement of the vicar, and said he had no cause to complain of the distribution, and went in to urge the claims, saying it had not always obtained a fair moiety, and he was of opinion that the Grammar ISchool was of greater importance to the neighbourhood than all the doles, and he suggested that the vicars should give reven more of the moiety to the school. The vicars asked if they had the power. The BARBIBTER said it was optional on their part. It appeared, on enquiry, that the full moiety had not been paid to the Grammar School, and the BARRISTER BUBgested that the vicars should make up the accounts for the last six years, and pay the deficiency to the school. The vicars promised to supply a oopy of the balance sheet every year.

Crump in his speech effectively replied to the criticisins levelled against the society and its missions during the past year and the Rev John Judge, of Rhyl, spoke on the general aspect of the work and its successes espe- cially among the islands of the earth. Arterthanks to the lady collectors, who have worked hard, to the chairman, and the appointment of a committee for the ensuing year, an interesting and excellent meeting was brought to a close.

The banquet at the Imperial Hotel on Friday evening, the 18th inst., to do honour to M. Jules Riviere, the eminent musioal caterer for the Llanduduo Pier Company, was a successful and thoroughly enjoyable affair. The committee, con- sisting of Mr Joseph Barton, Mr James Haworth, Mr Edwin Turner, and Mr .T. H. Roberts (hon. sec.), in the short time at their disposal after the idea was first suggested, deserve great praise for the able manner in which they made the preliminary arrangements. Host Chantrey is equally entitled to congratulations npon the splendid catering at the banqnst, and tasty,not to say oharming, appearance of the dining saloon. The Right Hon.

After dinner the Noble Chairman gave the usual loyal toasts, which were right loyally and musioally pledged, Mr Denbigh Cooper singing Queen of the Earth," and Mr T. B. Farrington leading off God bless the Prince of Wfeles." The Chairman then read a telegram from Mr Allan Sumner; of the Grosvenor Restaurant, regretting that he ooo1' not be present; and a letter from Mr E. Wood, superintendent of the London and North-Western Railway, Chester, thanking the oommittee for their kind invitation to the banquet, and regrotting very much his inability to be present in consequenoo of a prior engagement. He admired their guest very much for the energy he had shown, and congratulated the inhabitants of Llandudno on having such an excellent musical caterer, who had been the means of bringing about such good results to the town (applause). His lord. ship prooeeded to say that he had very muoh pleasure in proposing the toast of the evening-" Oar Guest" (loud and long-continued applause). They were all exceedingly pleased to see M. Riviere amongst them that evening in suoh apparently excellent health and spirits (hear, hear), none the worse for the very hard time be had had, and the exertions he had gone through dnring the past most successful season. He believed he was right in saying that the season just oonoluded was one of the best seasons-one of the longest Llandudno had ever had sinoe she became the queen of Welsh watering-places (applause). He attributed that good season in a great extent to the energy and skill and great experience of M. Riviere in forming that splendid orchestra they had been listening to nightly in the pavilion-an orchestra which they could truly say was second to none (applanse), and one that had been so thoroughly appreciated by the visitors and also by the residents of Llan. dudno. He did not pretend to be behind the scenes of the directorate of the Pier Com- pany, but he felt sure that their funds must be in a very good condition (laughter). They must have derived a great inorease from the faot of the pavilion being orowdsd night after night by most apprecia- tive audienoes. He was very glad to bear that there was an idea of carrying on the Pier Band next year for an extra month, also to hegin a fortnight earlier than usual (hear, bear). The band would thus be carried on until November. He felt Bure they were all agreed that all this success did M. Riviere the greatest credit, and showed that he had the interests of the town at heart (applanse). li M. Riviarowoutd kindly tell them how much it would cost to oarry on the band as suggested, he felt sure the movement would be well-supported and the necessary tickets would be taken. If every householder in Llandudno would take one ticket, there would be quite suffi- cient to carry on the band another mon tb (bear, hear). They were all very pleased to find that M. Riviere bad built a house in Llandudno (lond applause), and that it was his intention to remam here. During the last three years M. Riviere and his amiable lady had endeared themselves to all (applause). They had supported everything for the good of the town, and if any charity wanted support, M. and fadama Riviere were always found to the front (applause). He had therefore very much pleasure in proposing the health of M. and Madame Riviere; and he felt that he was only re-eohoing their senti. ments when he said that they hoped their gaest and his lady may both liva many years in this t^n^and that M. Riviere may loDg be spared to preside with bis baton over one of the very best orchestras in the United Kingdom (loud and long-continued applanse). He gave them the health of M. And Madame Riviere-Riviare am bvth (laughter and applause). The toast having been pledged with great enthusiasm and musical honours, The CHAIRMAN, on behalf of the subseribers, pre- sented M. Riviere with a handsome and costly silver punch bowl. M. RIVIERE, on rising to respond to the toast and acknowledge the presentation, was greeted with quite an ovation. When quiet ensued, he said :— My Lord and Gentlemen,—It is the first time in my long career that I have been invited to a 1 banquet like this and I need not tell you how prond I am of the great honour bestowed upoa me by the residents of Llandudno. I have really done nothing to deserve such compliment except fulfilling my duty of musical director of the pier and pavilion conoerts to the best of my ability. The work has been hard and constant for 21 weeks this season, but I did it oheerfully, as I could see that my efforts were crowned with success. Three years ago, when I first oame here, I was comparatively a stranger to you all, and I think that it will interest you—I should say amiase you-to know how I came to bear that there was a place in the world called Llandudno (laagbfcer). It was in the winter of 1886, ttter my last season at Blaokpool, where I had been conductor at the Winter Gardens for six years. My orchestra was engaged for a series of concerts at Edinburgh, and one day, in the band- room, I Raw several mosioians reading the Era, 1 asked them %ny news?" Co Yes," was their answer. Ci A musical direotor is wanted by the Pier Company at Llandudno," I questioned them, and one named Marshall, my present first horn, told me that he could give me auy information I wanted, as he had been a member of the parade band. We bad a conversation on the subject, and all the men were unanimous in saying that onr orchestra would be a great success at Llandudno (applause). I wrote to the chairman of the Pier Company the same day, offering myself as a cacdi- date, mentioning my terms and the number of musicians I should require. At the same time I offered to come from Scotland to Llandudno at my own expense and meet the directors. The answer was prompt and clear. I was asked to come. A few days after I arrived here. I met the fall Board of Direotors of the Pier Company. I was shown. a larle number of letters lying on the table, nearly a hundred applioatious, but I ex- plained my views to the directors, and they aeemed incliued in my favour. However, I was the most expensive (laughter). Then the directors invited me to have a look at their proderty, Rod I was shown the Pavilion, Iwhich I admired and thought a grand concert room. I oould see at once the resouroes of that fine bailding. Then- we formed a cortege, and walked to the ) pierhead. of oourse admiring the scenery all round. ? When we arrived at the end, the chairman pointed out to me a small octagon dilapidated pagoda, and told me, proudly, "this is our orchestra (much laughter). I soon gave the directors to understand that this structure could only accommodate twelveor fourteen mnsioiane, and that I wauted 36, and that unless they would build an orchestra large enough for that number I should be useless to them. It was then decided that the directors should consider the matter, and let me know their decision. Two or three days after I received a telegram announcing that my terms were accepted, and the next day a. letter came confirming the same, and promising that all that was required should be done. Gentle- men, I have no cause to regret coming hare, as I have been treated very kindly by my direotors, and I think that my programmes have given satisfac- tion to the majority of the visitors (applause). I take this opportunity to say a few words about the proposed autumn conoerts for next year. I cannot form an idea at present if a sufficient number of tickets will be taken, but I want it well understood that I could not continue the concerts during four weeks unless I can dispose of between 500 and 600 ( tiokets. That would only cover part of the expenses, and I should have to rely on the visitors for the balance. I do not expeot or wish to make a large profit for myself, and shall be quite satisfied with my usual salary (even reduced). All that is wanted is to try the experiment, and I offer to do it (applause). I also remind you that the directors of the Pier Company have decided to begin the next Beason two weeks earlier, viz., Saturday, the 3rd of May .thus showing their anxiety to please everybody. Our noble chairman, Lord Mostyn, has been fiiiid enough to couple the name of Madame Riviere with mine in his toast, and it is my pleasant duty to answer for the absent one. I am sure that Madame Riviere will feel the compliment, as she takes great interest in all I undertake. Madame Riviere has been at my elbow in every- thing I have done. She does not lesve me in peace (laughter and applause). Those children's fetes I I shall not have much more peace next year (more laughter). She will have her own way again (hear, hear). She says she will have a fancy costume Cinderella dance, and have me in fanoy costume (mnoh laughter). What next? I only hope that I sbull be able to remain for some time musical director of the Pier Company Ilond applause). My three years' engagement will expire next year, and I shall be very pleased to remain at my post, I mean if the directors will have me and if I am strong enough to do the work (applanse). I am pre- paring a grand season for next year, and I hope that my propheoy to my directors will be realised, that they will be able one day not far off to pay ten per cent. to the shareholders (applaq8e). So let us all work to the same objeot, the prosperity of this Itown, and let our motto be Liandudno to the front" (Iood applause). I must thank the subscribers heartily for the handsome present just handed co me. I shall always look upon it as a pleasing; reminiscence of my connection with Llandudno and a memento of your great kindness. Again, my lord and geutlemen, I thank you for your kindness to me which I shall never forget (lond applause). The CHAIRMAN read a letter at this juncture from Mr John Walker, Osborn House, enclosing a cheque towards the testimonial. Had he been in Llaododno he should have had great pleasure in attending the banquet. Another letter was also read from Mr E. Wood referring to next year's train arrangements. The subject had already been under the consideration of the directors, and it was probable that, when tbespring tram service was ar- ranged next year,some extension of the service would be arranged if the concerts commenped earlier as pro- posed (bear, hear). He could not bind himself at present to any particulars, but they might rely upon the subject having careful consideration when the question of train service was finally brought for- ward (applause). The toast of the Army and Navy was then given from the chair and, as the Navy usually takes precedence, his lordship called upon Lieu- tenant Bellis to respond first. Lieutenant BELLIS suitably responded for the Navy. Being connected with the Naval Volunteers, his duty was to guardthe approaohes by sea. If there was any interference with the concerts of their illustrious guest, be (M. Riviere) had only to call out the Navies to his assisianoe (laughter ani applause). Lieutenant W. D. HENDERSON responded for the Army and Volunteers, who wera well trained and would give a good account of themselves in case of emergency. They had in Llandudno a good repre- sentation of both services (hear, hear). The noble chairman having to leave by the 9.15 p.m. train, The Vrcit-CHAIRMAN said he was sure, before the chairman left,tney would all be pleased to drink his health. Althongh his lordship lived at a distance, he never responded to the oall of pleasure as well as duty with greater celerity than in replying tc the invitation to preside on the present occasion. Of course, his lordship had a vast interest in the pros- perity of Llandudno. All of them must have observed what an ardent desire Lord Mostyn had to further anything fur the good of Llandudno. He was speaking no words of flattery when he said that their chairman's heart and soul was in the prosper- ity of Llanduduo (applauie). Time would not permit him to say all the nice things he should like, bnt be asked them to fill their glasses and drink a bumper to the health of Lord Mostyn. The toast was musically pledged, three hearty cheers being given for Lord and Lady Mostyn and the junior branohes and another cheer for Lady Augusta, by all manner of means." The CHAIRMAN warmly thanked them for their kindness. It had given him great satisfaction to be there that evening. The first publio dinner he attended there was thirteen years ago. It gave him great pleasure to look round that table and see so many of his friends present now who were also pre- sent thirteen years ago. He was very sorry that horrid train" was due to start, and that he had to loave-them so early. The VICE-CHAIRMAN proposed the health of a body of eentlemen who, through evil report, good report, and all Borts of reports, had steadily done their duty (laughter and hear, hear). But he thought the Pier Directors were now worthy of the confidence of the town and the shareholders. He regretted very much the absence of the veteran chairman of the directors, Dr. Nicol (hear. hear). He must there- fore call upon an equally ardent worker for the Pier Comaany and for Llrlootilldno-Dobody had done more than the gentleman he was about to mention -Mr Thomas Williams, to respond (ap- plause). After the toast had been duly pledged with "He's a jolly good fellow," and Mr D. Cooper had sung "Auld Lang Syne," the guests joining in the chorus, Mr THOMAS WILLIAMS appropriately responded, expressing his great regret at the absence of Dr. Nicol, the ohairmau of the Pier Company. He remembered the dinner thirteen years ago alluded to bv Lord Mostyn, and was also glad to find so many faces present who were present thirteen years ago. Many ups and downs had occurred since that time; but he was glad to say, with the assis- tanoe of M. Riviere, the Pier Company had got out of their difficulties. He had heard complaints from other watering-places as to a bad season this year, but Llandudno did not suffer, and he thought was tetter off than most places. The directors felt it a oompliment to themselves m well u to M, Riviere that everything at that banquet had been done so well. He wished to thank the committee for what they had done (hear, bear). Mr Direotor GLoRGs L. WOODLKY also thanked tbem,and remarked that whilst the directors strove for the interests of the Pier Company they also promoted the interests of the town. Mr B. WOODCOCK (another director) proposed the health of their excellent vice-chairman. It had been said that Llandudno sprang from nothing. He did not quite agree with that remark. Their beautiful bay, and the estuary on the other Eiide the glorious background of mountains, enoll as DO other watering-place in the world had, and their beaatifulneck of land clothed with wild flowers j all those gifts of nature had been in existence for centuries, and at last were taken advantage of. The speaker alluded to the numerous applications the Pier Direotors bad three years ago for the con- dnctorship of the oonoerts. When they oame to M. Riviere's letter, he at onoe said" Riviere is the man for Ltandadno. We need not go any further." He had much pleasure in asking them to drink the health of their vioe-ohairmau. The toast having been musically pleged, The VICE-CBAIBMAN briefly acknowledged their kindness. He had always met arouud him good friends botli professionally and socially, and never regretted the day he took up his residence in Llandudno. His only regret was that his name was not Thomas, they having had so many good Thomases in Llandudtio, as had been hinted tbat evening (laughter and applause). He proposed the Committee," aud eulogised them for their effioient work, ooupling with the toast the name of the hou. secretary, Mr J. H. Roberts. Mr IjoBERTS having responded, The VICE-CHAIRMAN proposed "Prosperity to the town and trade of Llandudno," praising the trades- men for their energy and enterprise. He coupled tho names of Mr John Jones and Mr John Ridge. In replying to the toast Mr JOHN JONES (Central Buildings) said: Llandudno now has secured undoubtedly the premier position of all Welsh watering places, and may reasonably claim to rank s s one of the most attractive and popular health resorts in the kingdom, This proud position hasbeensecured by the energy of its inhabitants, their enterprising spirit, perfect sanitation, pure water, a climate noted for its salubriousness, warmth, bracing air, and its central position among the grandest scenery in Wales, and the facilities during the season of visiting Bettwsycoed, Llan- beris, aiid Menai Straits has oondaoed no little to its popularity. It seems incredible that a hamlet containing only but a few inhabitants should in loss than half a century rank second to none in the kingdom. But we lack one important Matter,.and that is, a winter season. Some say that Buoh a season is impossible in Liandudino; but I for one will not think so without at least a good try, and it seems to me that one of the best means to do so is to advertise the place well and to seoure a good band earlier and later than we have the band at present. I am sare the tradespeople of the town are greatly indebted to the Pier Company and their enterprising and renowned musical conductor M, Riviere for providing us with such an excellent band this last three seaBuna, and it has given me the greatest pleasure to be here this evening to pay a compliment to M. Riviere, who deserves so well our best thanks, and I also thank him sincerely for his efforts in trying to secure funda to bring his band here earlier next season, by the sale of tickets. which, I trust, will be heartily responded to. But I think we should try and seoure his band earlier and later still than his proposal. We should endeavour to secure the band here until the end of Ootober, and to commence on the Saturday before Easter. I feel stronly that a practical way can be found to carry this out. Accepting the rateable value of the town in both parishes to be from £48,000 to 950,000, I would divide this in four First, the tradespeople to represent E5000 rateable value; secondly, the hotel and boarding house keepers, £5,000: thirdly, the lodging house keepers, 925,000 and fourthly, private residents, cottages and" agricultural land, £15,000. I would further suggest that a oommittee ba formed to cellect subscriptions to gubti dise the Pier Company for say six or eight weeks, and the balance to be spent in advertising the town in the way tha cotrmittea think best. To make these subscriptions equitable and lair, I should ask every tradesman to contribute 2J per oent. on his rate- able value, the hotel and boarding house-keepers 11 per cent., the lodging house-keepers one per oent., and also to collect as muoh as possible from the private residents, who, I feel sure, would willingly help, and also I think the property owners and ground owners should be asked to contribute. and by tbis means I have no donbt but that £350 or £400 a year could be collected without seriously injuring anyone. On tbe contrary, no doubt all subscribers would be more than repaid annually by increased business and profit. I feel sure the. Pier Company wonld meet suoh a committee if formed in a just and generous spirit, and witboutin any way seeking or taking any advantage of its funds, and would give tickets to all subscribers in propor- tion to their contributions. I would also respect- fully suggest that no time should be lost in oarrying out some scheme that will secure an end eo desir- able (applause). The suggestions weri unanimously adopted, and a committee of eleven named to carry it out, with power to add to their namber. The committee appointed were Messrs Elias Jones, G. H. Pugh, T. Davies, G. J. Lockyer, J. Barton, J. Ridge, B. Williams, J. Haworth, John Jones, and T, T. Marks. The VICE-CHAIRMAN proposed, in felicitous terms, the toast of The Press," coupling the representa- tives of the Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald (Mr J.

The Looal Government Board desired the observations of the Authority upon the subjeot.—The clerk (Mr Pierce) was directed to reply that the Authority had no observations nor complaints as to the conduct of Mr Evans while holding office, as be had resigned; but if Mr Evans or his friends wished to have a public inquiry into the matter, the Authority had no objection to that course. They were quite satisfied that Mr John Roberts, the new inspeotor, was com- petent to discbarge his duties.

Henry Roberts, T. Hughes, Cadwaladr Jones, Edward Jones, William Williams, M. Morris, with the clerk (Mr Hugh Pierce).-The Master reported 33 icmates as com pared with 38 in the corresponding period last year; flftoeu vagrants had been relieved daring the lort- night.—In accordance with notice given, the Chair- man moved that the Board strongly protesta againtt the parishes of Tir Ifan and Gwernhowel being transferred from the county of Denbigh to the county of Carnarvon, and that the final report ol the Boundary Commissioners with refarence to the parishes of Llysfaen and Llanelian with Llandrillo and Llansantffraid, forming a contributor union, be adhered to.-Mr Daniel Williams seconded the resolution, and it was carried.—A farther discus- sion ensued respecting the proposal to transfer the parishes of Llanelian, Llandrillo, d Llaneant- ffraid to the connty of Carnarvon, a scheme tavonred by the Carnarvonshire County Council. The Chairman supported the scheme suggested by the Coauty Council, and moved to that effect. The Rev. Titley Williams spoke against the sug- geation, considering it unfail to the county of Denbigh.

Evans Jones, to advertise for a medical officer for the new district to be known as the Bettwsycoed and Trefriw district.-The following letter was read from Dr. Michael Williams :-It was with deep regret I read in the papers a report of your pro- ceedings in the Board wherein it was stated that owiug to my living so far from Trefriw Dr. Evans bad to attend paupers there without any enumera- tion. I am given further to understand that those who canvass for Dr. Evans state that I was only medical officer in name and that Dr. Evans did all the work. Now there is no foundation whatever for thia. I have at great expense of money and labour to the best of my ability attended the paupers in the Bettws and Trefriw district, and I think it is quite unfair that Dr. Evaus should have credit for what I have done myself. It is true that at first Dr. Evans used to attend a few paupers at Trefriw, but owing to ciroumstauces I need not detail he and I parted frieud,hip. Is it likely, then, that he would attend the paupers so as to savo me trouble ? I may further state that previous to my appointment as medioal officer to the ucion I used to attend the pauperi at Peumachno, and surely there are more panpers at Penmachno than at Trefriw. I may also state that Dr.Jones and Dr. J. W. Owen have attended paupers at Trefriw without any remunera- tion, but they have had no chance to let the publio know this.-Your obedient servant, W. MICHAEL WILIUAMS, M.B.—There was no other business of general interest.

PENMON. CONCERT.-On Monday evening, the 19th inst., a very excellent and successful concert was held in Penmon School in aid of a fund which has been started by Mr Spargo, the manager of the works, to give temporary Irelief to the workmen of the Flag- staff Quarry during sickness. A doctor's club has been already established, aid is in good working order. But in cases of long-contioued illness, resulting from accidents or any other causes, up to the present no provision has been made, and as several of the men have been an able to attend their work for some time past, and the precarious col- lections in the quarry being found to be inadequate, as well as a heavy tax on the more liberally dis- posed, it was deemed necessary to try and form a fund to meet their wants, and to tide over any emergency that may arise. The schoolroom was orowded to overflowing, as a joint result. of the charitable object of the concert and the very at- tractive programme which had been arranged to be gone through during the evening. The Rev. Elijah Owen, Ni.A, actel as president and conductor. The concert was opened with the anthem Mor wedd- aidd ar y mynyddoedd," by Llangoed Church Choir. The same choir also brought the proceed- ing to a close with the glee, Ple'r wyt ti wen y wawr," Miss Owen, of Llangoed Vicarage, accom- panying them on the harmonium. Both pieces were given with taste and in excellent time. The Llangoed Cboral Union, under the leadership of Mr Henry Hughes, sung two of their pieces, "Hail emiling morn aud Comrades' song of hope," the latter especially being rendered with spirit and much musioal effect. The school children gave several of their action songs in a manner that elicited the loudest applause and encore after every piece that was rendered by them, and deservedly so too, as independent of naturally good voices, their training was almost perfection, and redounded much to the credit of Mr Roberts, their master' who accompanied them. The Flagstaff Glee Party conducted by Mr Spargo, caused much merriment by the oomioal rendering of "Napoleon," the audience joining in the chorus. Messrs Samuel Doyle and Owen Thomas sang the duet Y Fam a'i phlentyn in good and fine style. The voices were niceiy balanced and clear. 11 The two sailors was the only other duet. This was given by Messrs Roberts and Jones, Uandeeftn zand although it was the first time for these younc men to take part in a concert at Penmon. we should judge from the enthusiastic manner in which they were received, it"will not by any meats he the Ust.
