IJbt J1I Iflitnrcl
IJbt J1I Iflitnrcl The Rbyl Urban District Council on Monday struggled through a decidedly lengthy meeting, the agenda before them being of a most varied nature. Government departments, sanitary, clerical, musical and other matters were all discussed with that avidity for which Councillors generally have a reputation, fair and otherwise. Therefore, in dealing with the Council's deeds and mis- deeds this week, it is not the paucity, but the quantity, of material that is embarrass- ing." The engagement of a band for next summer-may it prove more genial than last summer—the workmen's dwellings scheme, the apparent deadlock between the Council and the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, the duties of the new Sanitary Inspector, the doings (authorised and unauthorised, of the Surveyor, and, most serious of all, the electricity department, are only a few of the alarming assortment of subjects which made up Monday's grate feed." There was also dessert in the shape of a timely motion by one of the hon. mem- bers for East Ward, but few of his col- leagues remained to partake of this item. Fault-finding was very early in evidence. In fact the eagle eye of one member actually detected a tiaw in the minutes of the pre- vious meeting, and the Council's trusted adviser was called upon to explain, which he did without even suggesting that there bad been a printer's error "—a phrase, by the bye, that often covers a multitude of sins. Perhaps the omission of the term was an oversight which for once may be justly excused. Then came the report of the Road Committee with its recommendations as to the tennis court at the Marine Lake, the foreshore negotiations, &c, but not a word about the building operations that had been going on in the Town Yard, and which had aroused the suspicions of at least one member, who was very properly allowed to bring the matter forward for investigation. The fertile Chairman of the Road Commit- tee remarked once during the meeting, with a certain amount of jocularity, perhaps, that the Council were playing fast and loose with the Town Surveyor; but the greenhouse episode having come to light, we are inclined to the opinion that the boot is on the other foot," I In his anxiety for the removal of the Promenade plants, which throughout the season just ended were" a thing of beauty and a joy to everybody, he busies himself with the construction of a greenhouse which the Council learnt for the first time on Monday is to cost £15, and for which amount there is no provision in the estimates. But for Councillor Ellis, the Surveyor no doubt would have had a bad time of it in the Council Chamber. In all probability the Council would in the usual course of events have had to provide some sort of conserva- tory for these plants, but when important principles are violated it is only right that notice should be taken of it. It is bad enough to hear of committees embarking on unauthorised expenditure, but when an official of the Council is allowed to do the same thing it is hardly to be wondered at that complaints should be made. We were in hope that something to the Council's advantage would have been re- ported from the Office of Woods and Forests, also of bearing that the Council's impor- tunity, like that of the widow of Apostolic days, had prevailed. Up to the present, however, history has not repeated itself, and unfortunately the possibility of arriving at a friendly understanding with the Govern- ment department respecting the acquisition of the foreshore at Foryd is more remote than was the case a month ago. The rate- payers, we think, will generally admit that it is highly undesirable that the foreshore should get into alien hands, but although the Commissioners have decidedly the upper hand in the matter, be Council will do well not to conclude negotiations too readily when the opportunity arrives. The subject of the employment of road men on private work having been briefly ventilated and settled, on the right side, in our opinion, the report of the Road Com- mittee was soon disposed of and nothing more of a contentious character cropped up until the Joint Committee of the road and sanitary departments presented their report in reference to the appointment of a new Sanitary Inspector and the rearrangement of the Surveyor's duties. Councillor Gamlin, who from the first to last was on the side of the economists, even to the abandonment of the workmen's dwellings scheme, well-nigh revolutionised the Joint Committee's pro- posals, and on one very important point it is a matter for regret that he was defeated only by a casting vote. It is satisfactory to know that the Council have obtained a reduction of £650 on the assessment of the water undertaking, and though the relief it will afford is not what it ought to be, it will doubtless be appreciated by the ratepayers. The opinion is enter- tained that the assessment is still too large, the amended valuation being £1,500, and that a further appeal should be made to the Assessment Committee. The Union autho- rities know full well what source to tap when money is wanted, but the exposure of this instance of excessive valuation will, we trust, have a wholesome effect on future valuations in which the Council are inter- ested. Except for his fling at the Electric Light Committee Councillor Tilby's voice was scarcely heard throughout the meeting, but when he did speak it was in no uncer- tain tone. The result was that a recom- mendation involving an expenditure of probably at least J6140 in connection with the lighting arrangements of the Queen's Palace, and towards which the Palace Com- pany were to be asked to make a contribu- tion, was referred back for further con- sideration. That this decision was a wise one is proved by the fact that the Committee in their report did not even suggest what proportion of this cost should be borne by the Palace Company. Besides, the Council had nothing before them in the shape of an agreement on the part of the Company as to the number of years they would continue as customers of this department. The Council can ill afford to commit themselves to any outlay unless there is a prospect of a good return, espe- cially in regard to the electric light under- taking, in connection with which they cannot be too cautious. Altogether the Electric Light Committee's report was not a very satisfactory one, particularly in the case of the cables for street lighting. With all the trouble this unfortunate scheme has brought upon the Council, it can now, how- ever, claim to have justified its existence, if only for an hour. This was demonstrated a week ago, when on Thursday last the town's gas supply was temporarily cut off. Though the inconvenience suffered was reduced to* a minimum, the thoroughly up- to-date householder enjoyed an advantage denied to those whose dependence for illumination was upon gas alone. The vexed question of the provision of a band for next season again proved to be a topic on which there -Was considerable disagreement. It may be true that music hath charms to soothe the savage breast" of the ordinary individual, but so far as Rhyl is concerned it has not proved infallible when applied to people who have attained the dignity of Urban Councillors. On the contnry, it has this year been responsible for a more than ordinary amount of discord amongst our city fathers." With regard to the selection of a band for neyt season, the Royal Austrian Band is, we regret to think, practically excluded from the probability of appearing in Rhyl again, by reason of its own conditions. Nobody denies its merits from a musical standpoint, but the ratepayers just now have a particularly strong claim to con- sideration, and if we are to have a band at all it ought to be for four months of the year at least, and at the least possible expense to the town, thus ensuring the fullest value for the money the Council propose to spend in that direction. Competition after all is the best thing in a matter of this kind. Unfortunately the housing question came on for discussion at too late an hour to meet with the attention its importance warrants. As for Councillor Winterbottom's resolution, the idea was a capital one, and we trust that the fruits thereof will be to the advantage of the North Wales coast and Rhyl in particular.

Alleged Assault on a Child.
Alleged Assault on a Child. On Wednesday at about one o'clock in the afternoon, a little girl named Leah Jones, between 11 and 12 years of age, when going from her home at Penrallt to Whitford School, was assaulted on the road near Bryncoch, by a. tramp in a distardly manner. At eight o'clock Police-constable Gomer Jones captured a youth, who tallied with the description given, and he was placed under arrest. He gave the name of Thomas Bernard Butter, and said he was 15 years of age, and had that day tramped from Chester. He was found in a lodging house in Morfa Bach, Vale Road, Rhyl. The accused was brought up on Thursday morning at a Special Sessions, at Holywell, before Mr T A Lambert, on a charge of criminal assault, and was i remanded until Monday.
RATEPAYERS' MEETING AT RHYL.
RATEPAYERS' MEETING AT RHYL. THE WORK OF THE ADVERTISING AND TOWN IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION. PLAIN SPEAKING BY COUNCILLOR TILBY. A meeting of ratepayers for the purpose of discussing the work of the Rbyl Advertising and Town Improvement Association, and of suggesting means whereby the sphere of its usefulness might be increased, was held in the Council Chamber on Wednesday night, Mr H A Tilby (president of the Association) being in the chair. It was intended that the meeting should be held in the assembly room of the Town Hall, and had this arrangement been adhered to, two rows of chairs would have more than sufficed for the accommo- dation of the audience. The Chairman, in explaining the object of the meeting, thought it was a matter for congratula- tion that they had present that evening, for the first time at all events within his memory, a number of ladies (applause). They could not fail to be quite cognisant of the fact that in the town there was a large number of ladies engaged in what was its staple industry, many of them single-handed. Consequently, they should be very deeply interested in any association whose work was to make the town better known, and, therefore, to bring in a larger number of visitors, which of course meant business for the trades- folk. He wished to throw out the suggestion that at all future meetings of the Rhyl Advertis- ing and Town Improvement Association, the ladies should attend in far better numbers than on the present occasion, thus availing themselves of an opportunity of exercising their women's rights (applause). Oa the other hand, it was a matter of profound regret that while the Associa- tion had been in existence for several years pat, and when a public meeting was called to consider the work it was doing, there should be such a scanty audience. He believed there were over 2,000 ratepayers in Rhyl, yet notwithstanding that it was a ratepayers' meeting, and had been called in the most public manner, they could only ir uster about one percent, of that number. It would seem to show that the local public were not interested in the welfare cf the town. They could not, however, believe that was the case, but it was certainly disheartening to the promoters that they were so scantily supported by the rate- payers on an occasion of that kind. That evening they had met to consider what ht sapposed was now universally admitted to be the advantages ot advertising. When every individual tradesman recognised its advantages, then as a public body they could not fail to understand that the adver- tising of their own town's special attractions and charms formed, so to speak, the breath of their existence. It was, therefore, a matter for deep regret that so few took an active part in the work of an institution which month by month throughout the year did so much to further thp town's interests. Such a body of workers certainly dessrved" better at the hands of their fellow- townspeople, and he hoped that from this time forward the people of Rhyl were going to recog- nise their responsibilities and to see to it that the Rhyl Advertising and Town Improvement Asso- ciation was properly supported. Let them com- pare this Association with those of neighbouring towns, which raised from i300 to JE400 a-year in order fro advertise their attractions, and they would at once see that the people of Rhyl were sadly lacking in enterprise. He repeated, with emphasis, that it was time they woke up and realised their responsibilities. Remembering that the Government of the country would not allow a local authority like that of Rhyl to spend money in advertising the town, and though they recog- nised that the best method of raising a fund for such a purpose was by means of a rate, the next best method—and the only method, apparently— open to them was the gathering of voluntary subscriptions. It seemed that at present the people who did the work of the Association wern largely those who subscribed, while the people who benefited very largely by those efforts were those who neither subscribed nor did any work. He confessed he bad spoken in a rather pessimistic strain, but the plain truth was before them, and he trusted that as a result of that meeting the Association would receive greater encouragement, and that even better work would be done (ap- plause). Mr Ashfield and the Work of the Association. Mr P J Ashfirld, the untiring and energetic vice-president of the Association, gave an account, so to speak, of its stewardship. Since the reor- ganisation of the Association, some 18 months ago. many things bad been done in the hope of making tihyl more widely known. Amongst these a large number of applications from all over the country, soliciting local information, had been received and answered by the hon. secretary. In a Vtry large number of cases local guides had been forwarded to intending visitors. They had wati-hed the interests of the town as far as they possibly could in a general manner, and had not been behindhand in correcting inaccuracies in pr^ss reports, which, had this not been done, would in more than one case, have resulted in a large amount of harm. He did not, of course, refer to the local press. Mr Lewis Jones ("Journal" Office) had presented them with a very large number of reprints of a letter setting firth the properties of Rhyl as a health resoit These bad obtained a wide "circulation, and were sent to many medical men, and the fact that this year they had a far greater namber of London visitors was due, in a great measure, to these reprints (applause). Messrs Polkinghorne and Williams had also furnished, for distribution, a quantity of coaching guides to the Rhyl district, while valuable assistance in the shape of t'je provision of slides for lantern lectures on Rbyl and the neighbourhood, and for the loan of which several applications had been made, had been rendered by Mr Ernest Jones, photographer. Mr Ashfield also mentioned that the London and North Western Railway Company had inserted in their guides the through carriage arrangement* 10 Rhyl. But the great aim of the Association this year had been the publication of a coloured pic- torial poiter of Rhyl, which had been executed in a very artistic manner, and was worthy of high commendation Tbeiie had been circulated in Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Leamington, Leeds, Wolverhampton, and other great industrial centres, while both the London and North Western and North Staffordshire Railway Companies had consented to display them at the different stations throughout their respective systems. They had ample proof from agents in different towns that the posting had been thoroughly well done. He thought, therefore, they could claim to be worthy of the ratepayers' confidence. No money wad expended by them except after due and very care- ful deliberation, and not a penny of their funds went in salary or commission to anyone. Believing, as he did, that they had supplied a long felt want, he thought it was scarcely reason- able that the brunt of ibis work should be borne on the shoulders of a few. He for one had very firm confidence in the future of and believed there was a brilliant future before the town if only they would work for it. For next season it had already been proposed to issue a local guide, containing a variety of information as to the amount of sunshine enjoyed here and the abnor- mally low death-rate compared with other towns, &c., and a farther quantity of the pictorial posters would also be issued. It was an indisputable fact that, compared with other towns along the coast, Rhyl this last season had a far greater amount of patronage, and he absolutely denied that Rbyl had had a bad season for many years, despite what people heard from the professional grumbler, who did the town more harm than anything else possibly could, though it might not at first be apparent. He hoped, however, that this bint would be taken in good parr, and that in future there would be less of this perpetual, and no doubt thoughtless, grumbling on the part of a few of their townspeople. In appealing for an increased moral and financial support, he re- marked that the membership of the Association— something like líO-was very inadequate to the proportion of ratepayers, and he trusted that the excellent example set by the latest arrivals to the town, the Queen's Palace Syndicate, who had generously headed the subscription list with a donation of five guineas, would be widely emulated (applause). Mr Lewis Jones (" Journal Office) said he had been requested to move the following resolution Tbat having heard the statement of what has been done by the Association, this meeting is of opinion that it is deserving of all the support that can be given it by the Ja-epayers of Rhyl." Mr Thomas Jones (Cambrian House) seconded, and the motion was supported by Mr Joseph Williams, who said the only way to bring to Rhyl the success it deserved to secure was by adver- tising, and suggested that next year's posters be larger, also that the sympathy of the ladies be I enlisted in canvassing the town for subscriptions to enable this adverting to be carried out more j extensively. Mr Hubert R Holbeche, hon, secretary of the Association, replied that the expenditure had to be made to fit the cash in hand or promised, and with the funds available last year they could not possibly get out a larger poster. The resolution was carried unanimously, and Mr Ashfield, in reply, said it would stimulate them to greater interest in the work. He assured the public that no stone would be left unturned by the Association to improve Rhyl as far as lay in its power (applause). Mr R B Arnold, treasurer, said Rhyl was not known as it should be, aud never would until the ratepayers put their hands a little more deeply into their pockets in order to help forward the work of the Advertising Association. The meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the Chairman.
PRESTATYN NOTES.
PRESTATYN NOTES. (CONTRIBUTED;. A short article, very mixed up and erroneous,junder the heading of Prestatyn appeared in one of your contempo- raries last week on the subject of the Tory Club." Now the title of the club is Constitutional Club," and the reference as the Tory Club is intended as a sneer that we can afford to pass ti. Good taste and courtesy are quite too much to expect from this quarter. If I were t) refer to the Liberal Club as the" Illiberal Club," the Pro-Boer Club," or the Bigoted Club," 1 can imagine the howl of indignation that would rise up, but I always hear it referred to in the politest and most amiable tones by those wicked Tories by its proper cognomen of the Liberal Club." Long may it flourish, to inculcate the trae principles of liberality, toleration, consideration for others, and the good of all. The writer states that there had been held a gloomy and depressing meeting of the shareholders of the club, and the prospects were gloomy in extreme." Imagination is a desirable faculty )0 possess, but accuracy and adherence to ;.s quite as important a qualification for a paragraph writer. No meeting was held of the shareholders of the Tory Club" at the time stated. The Club has no shareholders, and was not formed to earn a dividend, but a meeting was held of the proprietors of the building where the club meets, and at to is meeting I understand no divi" was declared, owing to one of their shops being unlet for a considerable time. This you will note is quite a different thing. The Conservative Club here is not exactly rolling in money, but the prospects are not gloomy, as the writer gleefully states, and at any rate are quite as cheerful as those of the Liberal Clubs here or in Rhyl. The Conservative Club in Prestatyn has no debt to work off. Does the same spirit of rejoicing at misfortune animate our friend when he surveys the troubles of these Liberal Clubs referred to? If it does he is not to be envied. Those that live in glass houses should not throw stones When first I read the paragaph in question I thought that perhaps by a printer's error the word Tory had been substituted for Liberal." Read the latter term instead of Tory and the remarks will be singularly appropriate. An amateur dramatic performance is advertised to take place in the Town Hall on the 13th instant, entitled "Bardell v. Pickwick,"but it is not stated to what purpose the proceeds are to be applied. It is freely asserted that the entertainment is for the benefit of the club. There is no harm in this, but why not boldly state the object on the bills In order to retrench, the Liberal Club does not open until the evening. Those of our Pro-Boer citizens who are so prominent where talking is concerned now have a unique opportunity to put their hands in their pochts-not to keep them there, however-and extend a little practical sympithy to what is after all a worthy object. A cheque is worth moie any time than loud- moathed professions. The same writer also refers to the "pread of tem- perance principles in anything but appreciative terms amongst the members of the Conservative Club. This is an attitude I did not expect from this source. The sale of beer has fallen ofr and we drink non-alcoholic drinks instead, and still people are not satisfied at this symptom of the spread of the great principle of temperance. If we drink the temperance advocate holds up nis hands in holy horror, and if we abstain not a word of commendation is heard. Really this is too bad. Whether the trada has gone to the "pub" or not I can't say. The writer says it has. Perhaps he made the necessary enquiries at headquarters, but if the statement is like the rest of his article we must decline to be'ieve it. Of course, no Libera) is ever seen at the "bar" it is only the degraded Tory that so demeans himself. Bogus driuking clubs are never patronised by the I immaculate virtuous Liberal, Sunday drinking is unknown in" Liberal Wales Further, there appears in tii->anu paper a statement to the effect that considerable interest, has been aroused in Prestatyn by the movement set on foot to equalise the assessments." The writer has evidently got hold of a mare's nest, for no movement with this object in view has been started, and the inequalities mentioned by him are unknown to the authorities on the spot. A gentleman from Prestatyn appeared before the Assessment Committee to point out certain inconsistencies, but his figures on investigation turned out to be all wrong, and no action could be based on them. A lively imagination is very useful in its place, but in this instance the writer has allowed it to run away with him. One useful purpose would be served if our alsessments were raised all the poor would be driven out of the place, and as they are quite unnecessary and only an encumbrance, they would make room for the retired cotton spinner and the mil- lionaire They are the people to cater for. With an abundance of these throwing their money about, life would be worth living for, even in Prestatyn, in the depth of winter. Pity the sorrows of the poor old ratepayer. I crave your compassion for the poor, but honest, hard-working lodging-house keeper already burdened to straining point. I ask you to help to resist this attempt of the Radicals, through their organ, tj add to our trouble and place on us burdens that they themselves would not touch with one of their little fingers. It has been decided to commence a branch of the Church of England Temperance Society at Prestatyn. As it has been stated that the publicans have done a certain section ot the public a bad turn by keeping open until 11 p.m., it would appear as if another portion of the community intend to have some of its own back and make the pubs sutler. I don't think their takings between 10 and 11 p.m. :pay expenses anyway—but then revenge is sweet. I have a few instructions to place before our vigorous and enlightenei Town Council. I am quite aware that they do not require an instruction in their duty, and that the Counci could carry on the government of the nation much better than the present office holders, but a stern sense of duty drives me on. I know also I shall not receive any thanks—I don't expect them. Disappointmeut will therefore fall lightly. Why does not the Town Council of Prestatyn invite General Viljoen to deliver his comic lecture on the war 9 Will the Town Council debate and pass a resolution condemning the Government for devoting for the benefit of the loyalists ? Will the Council pass a resolution applauding the Goverment for its generosity in procuring a vote of £6,000,000 to the Boers ? Why does not the Council condemn the Government for its use of the closure ?
PRESTATYN.
PRESTATYN. Forthcoming Ministerial Change. For some time past the Rev John YVestlake has had charge of the local section of the Rhyl and district circuit ot the English Weslyan Church, and in that capacity his services have been well appreciated. Previous to settling down to a pastor- ate he was for many years an Army chaplain, during which time he saw considerable foreign service. We understand that at the end of the year Mr VVestlake intends returning to the Army, to which work he is much attached, having been appointed to a chaplaincy at Brentwood Barracks, Essex. Social. In connection with the Bethel Welsh Wesleyan Chapel a social was given in the schoolroom on Wednesday evening by Dr Batten Williams. A very pleasant time was spent by a goodly com- pany, and the proceeds went towards a fund by means of which it is hoped to hold bazaar early next year. Meeting of Temperance Workers. A meeting of parishioners interested in the temperance movement was held on Wednesday night in the National School. The Vicar of Prestatyn presided, and as a result of the pro- ceedings it is hoped to start an adult branch of the C.E.T.S., the Revs Canon Roberts (Colwyn Bay) and J Hamer Lewis, organising secretary for the diocese of St Asaph, havmg promised a helping hand at the inauguration. Things Dramatical. The first open night in connection with the Liberal Club Literary Society took place at the Town Hall on Thursday, being of the nature of a dramatic entertainment and miscellaneous concert. The chief feature of the programme was the performance of Bardell Pickwick (adapted from the "PicwlCk Papers "), a piece to which Prestatyn audiences have on previous occasions listened with the utmost delight. There can be no doubt that last night's entertainment was no exception to this rule. As secretary, Mr o ProfSt spared no effort to make it a success, and in "coaching" the "characters" Mr Joseph Banks rendered great service. The part of Mr Weller, senr, was played by Mr H Roberts, and Mr E Evans appeared as Mrs Bardell, while Mr Frank Jewell posed as Mr Justice Starleigh. Characters were also successfully sustained by Messrs J Banks (Sergeant Buzfuz), J P Brooks (Mr Skimpton, barrister), J D Parry (Sergeant Snubbins), G W Jones (Mr Phunkey, barrister), T A Jones (S Pick- wick, Esq), O Proffit (N Winkle, Esq), F Lloyd (Mr Weller iunr), Thomas Jones (clerk and usher), W J Williams (crier), C Williams (Mrs Elizabeth Cluppins), W Thomas (Mrs Sanders), E D Jones and J E L Jones (jurymen), T E Griffiths (Groffin), J Lloyd Jones (attorney at law), T Parry Williams (Mr Dodson), H Dowell (Mr Fogg), and Arthur Jones (Master Tommy Bardell). The contributions to the musical part of the programme were promised by Miss Florence Jones, Miss Sally Jones, and Messrs T A Edwards, Wr. Robert s(W rexham), C Mills(Manchester), and others, Mr G W Jones acting as accompanist. In commemoration of the baronetcy conferred upon him, Sir Charles Me Laren, M.P., K.C., has presented the men engaged on his Flintshire estate with a weekVwages. Football. At Preataty* on Saturday Prestatyn and Den- bigh Liberal Club footballers met in wet weather. Prestatyn were fully represented, J Jones making a first appearance in the home ranks. In the first half the home side had the advantage of the wind, and the forwards were soon testing the visitors' goalkeeper. G Linnell opened the scoring, and R Haworth quickly added a second. Denbigh now attempted to break through the Prestatyn defence, but without result. The home forwards, keeping up the attack, were again rewarded, E Mostyn and G Linnell heading in two more goals, the visitors' goalkeeper being completely beaten. Before half. time two more goals were scored tor Prestatyn, who led at the interval by 6 goals to uil. Resuming, Denbigh made gallant efforts to score but failed to break through the home defence. The Denbigh defence was much safer than in the first half, and Prestatyn failed to add to their score. Denbigh, however, before the call of time managed to score once Final result- Prestatyn 6, Denbigh Liberal Club 1. Clarke v. Williams. Mr Justice Buckley, in the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice on Wednesday, had before him this action, by which the plaintiff claimed a declaration that a piece of land at the rear of Birchfield House, Prestatyn, in the county of Flint, was not included in the sale of Birchfield House to the defendant. The plaintiff further claimed specific performance of an agreement to purchase by the defendant without the piece of land, or in the alternative for rescision of the contract and forfeiture of the deposit. Mr H Terrell, K.C., and Mr Gatey appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Buckmaster, K.C., and Mr Stobes for the defendant.—Mr Terrell, in his opening statement, said the whole question turned upon a receipt given by the defendant to the plaintiff for f30 by way of deposit.—Several wit- nesses having been examined iu support of the plaintiff's case, the further hearing was adjourned. At the adjourned hearing yesterday the :Judge gave judgment, and said that he was of opinion that defendant's story was the correct one. He therefore dismissed the action with costs, and decreed specific performance on the defendant's counterclaim.
ST. ASAPH.
ST. ASAPH. Visitation. The Bishop will hoid his triennial visitation at his Cathedral on Thursday next. For this occa- sion his lordship has icited the churchwardens as well as the clergy, so that his message will be "ad populi as well as ad clerum." The Plough. During three days this week Mr Collins Roberts, auctioneer, Wellington Chamcers, Rhyl, conducted a three days' sale of the furniture and "stock-in- trade at the above. The prices generally were good. On Wednesday next Mr Townley, of Liverpool, &c., will submit the tenant's lease and goodwill for public competition. Cathedral Lay Clerks' Concert. The revival of the above concerts last year, after an interval of several years, was attended with such an encouraging measure of success that the promoters decided to continue them again from year to year. The second series of concerts since their re-establishment took place in the National Schools jesterday. The arrangements in .connec- tion therewith were efficiently carried out under the superintendence of Messrs W Evans and C W Slater, who acted as joint secretaries, and received the ready assistance of Mr W E Belcher, the accomplished organist of the Cathedral. The concerts were under very distinguished patronage, the list including the Lord Lieutenant of Flintshire and Lady Florentia Hughes, the Bishops of St. Asaph and Bangor, the Dean of St Asaph, Arch- deacons Evans, Thomas and Jones, Mr and Mrs P P Pennant, Col. Mesham, and the elite of the neighbourhood, many of whom were present both afternoon and evening. The afternoon performance opened with a sweet rendering of Leslie's part song, "Awake, awake, the flowers unfold," by the Cathedral Choir under Mr Belcher's leadership. The Sands of Dee (G A Macfarren) was another delightful contribution. The second item was a violin solo by Mons Henri Verbrugghen, musical director at the Colwyn Bay Pier Pavilion, who was unquestionably the hero of the afternoon. His first effort was an exquisite rendering of a com- position by Wieniawski, "Polonaise in A," and it was through no fault of the audience that the talented Belgian musician did not reappear imme- diately after this item, except to bow his acknowledgments. Later on. however, he again made his bow to the audience, when he enter- tained them to an animated interpretation of Hauser's Rhapsodie Hongroise," and at a still later stage gave a couple of selections from Wieniawski's works, a romance and a mazurka. These afforded a splendid contrast, both being most artistically executed. This time the audience were not to be denied another hearing, and he was literally cheered when he at last yielded to their vociferous demand for an enoore, his final contribu- tion being all that could be desired for crispness, elegance of style, and purity of tone. Mons Verbrugghen's first visit to St Asaph was certainly an event to be remembered for many a day, and the reception he received was well worthy of the ideal exponent of the art of violin playing for whom he stands. To proceed, however, with the after- noon items—Miss Grace E Shorrock, who has a sweet soprano voice, and is a promising student of the Manchester Royal College of Music, sang as her first contribution How deep the slumber of the floods" and "The lass with the delicate air." "There's a bower of roses" (Stanford), a song that has been described by criticf as one of the best examples of British lyric music, also received justice from Miss Shorrock, the expression being a very fine feature of the rendering. Another vocalist was Miss Laura Evans (contralto), of Henllan, who is not unknown to local audiences, and who, it is worth while stating, has twice gained second place in the contralto solo com- petition at the National Eisteddfod. She possesses a strong as well as sympathetic voice, and was heard to advantage in the songs, "Entreat me not to leave thee" (Gounod) and Y Bachgen Amddifad (W Davies). The evening performance included part songs by the Cathedral Choir, fur- ther songs by Miss Shorrock and Miss Evans, and humorous musical sketches by Mr H Bedford (Abergele). The accompaniments were played by Mr Belcher and Mr L H Summerfield, the latter being in attendance upon Mons. Verbrugghen. Archdeacon Wynn Jones kindly granted the use of the piano from the canonry for the occasion.

The Rev Dan Edwards, the first chairman of Governors, who is now staying at Rhyl, on Wed- nesday paid a visit to the County School, where he was warmly welcomed. The Chairman of the Governors, and Mr L J Roberts accompanied the late Chairman, who addressed a few words of con- gratulation to the scholars, and complimented the Governors and Headmaster upon their well- equipped buildings. Wesleyan Missionary Meeting. The annual sermons on behalf of the foreign missions in connection with the Wesleyan cause were preached in Brighton Road Chapel on Sunday by the Rev J C Stuart, superintendent minister. On Tuesday the annual missionary meeting was held, addresses being given by Mr Joseph Mudd (who presided), the Rev Robert Forster, late of Italy, and the Rev J C Stuart, the latter presenting a statement as to the financial support accorded the Wesleyan Mission- ary Society by the Rhyl circuit. The total raised during the last financial year was f43 lis 6d. The collections on both days were in aid of the foreign missions. Elwy Hall School.-Oxford Local Examinations. On Monday last the annual distribution of prizes and certificates in connection with the above examinations took place in the Public Hall, Colwyn Bay. The prizes were distributed by Mrs Walter Thomas, of Holyhead and Bangor, who delivered a most interesting and inspiring address to the boys and girls present. The only girl to receive prizes at the centre was Miss M A May, of Elwy Hall School, Rhyl, who obtained a junior certificate, with third-class honours and distinction in section three (history, geography, &c), in which section she was braeketted ninth in the United Kingdom. At the same examination Miss B L Stuart, Elwy Hall School, obtained a junior cer- tificate, first division, pass list. How He Cot Busy. You appear to be very busy this season," said a customer to a dealer in whose shop there were many customers. IllYes, I have no complaint to make," he replied. And perhaps it might interest you as a newspaper man to know to what I attri- bute the goodly share of patronage which shoppers are according my shop. It is the result of advertis- ing. Not of having advertisements in the papers during this season alone, but of talking to the peo- ple by means of printers' ink the year round. By keeping an ad. in a paper constantly it not only materially increases regular business, but when the gift-buying time comes round the people know where you are, and what you have to sell, and if they desire anything in your line as a present to some friend they will pay you a visit. Advertising not only pays, but I consider it a necessity." St. Ann's Church Choir. For the purpose of assisting the funds of the above choir a concert, at which the Vicar of Rhyl presided, was given in the National School, Vale Road, on Tuesday night, and was well attended. The programme was of a very enter- taining nature, and at half-time the Vicar gave a brief address. Miss Mabel Hughes, who was accompanist for the evening, opened with a piano- forte solo, following which songs were given in good style by Miss Louie Williams, Miss Blodwen Rowland, the Rev P Jones and the Rey T Jenkins, the latter being deservedly encored. Miss May Hughes' contribution was a violin solo, which was well received, and Mr Harry May was encored for a humorous sketch. Part two began with a pianoforte solo by Miss Chadwick, and comprised further songs by the Rev f Jenkins and Miss Louie Williams, a duet by Miss Rowland and the Rev. Peter Jones, and humorous contributions by Mr Harry May. At the close the Rev W J Davies proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman and to all who had helped to make the concert a success, This was carried with acclamation, and terminated a most pleasant evening. Calvinistic Methodist Progress. In connection with the English Presbyterian Literary Society and the Clwyd Street Literary Society an interesting debate took place in the C.M. Lecture Hall on Monday night. The Rev J Knowles Jones presided, and for nearly three hours the question Does the denomination keep up with the present age?" was debated. Mr H Millward opened for the visitors in the affirmative, basing his arguments largely upon the statistics of the past century, and he was supported by Messrs R Bromley, E Parker Davies (hon. secretary), R Broadie Griffith, and Jacob Jones. The negative was taken up by the members of the Clwyd Street Society, led by Mr Robert Jones (Ithelfryn). Mr R Llewelyn Jones snoke in support of the Clwyd Street Society, and other speakers in the negative were Messrs Daniel Evans, J Roberts Jones and D P Morris. By 60 votes to 35, those favouring the negative view were declared to have gained the day. Mr Jones (Ithelfryn) tendered to the Princes Street Society their thanks for the enjoyable evening afforded, and the Chairman was heartily thanked tor his services on the motion of Mr D J Price, seconded by Mr Ivor Morris. That the keenest interest was taken in the debate was proved by the crowded state of the room, the attendance being a record one. The Gilchrist Lectures. The second of the course will be given on Tuesday next, 18th inst., at the Town Hall. The subject is "Our Allies in the Far East." It will be illustrated by lantern slides. The lecturer is Mr Arthur Diosy, F.R.G.S., chairman of the Council (and founder) of the Japan Society. The critics have written of him as follows :Mr Diosy is an ideal lecturer. He has a racy style, a capital delivery, and nevcrbecomes tedious. His discourse was enlightened from time to time with genuine flashes of humour—all the more appreciated because in many cases unexpected—and throughout his address ot over two hours' duration he never wearies his audience." Mr Diosy has great I powers of extempore speech. He was so I bright, clear, witty, and entertaining, that even J the small boys showed no signs of wearying. Everybody has been talking about the lecture as the best we have had for years. I cannot myself recall its equal." Councillor Clews will preside. We sincerely hope that the attendance will be worthy of the occasion, and encouraging to the committee who are promoting these lectures, solely for the instruction and entertainment of the people of Rhyl. Births and Deaths. During the third quarter of the year there were 194 births in the St Asaph Union and 144 deaths, 16 of the latter being from the principal zymotic diseases. The Eisteddfod. On Tuesday the various committees appointed to nominate additional members to their number met at the Town Hall. Considerable care seems to have been exercised to secure the services of ladies and gentlemen likely to be useful on the respec- tive committees, and their names will be submitted to the Executive Committee on Monday next. Nomination of Sheriffs. This ceremony took place on Wednesday at the court of the Chief Justice, and the following were nominated for Flintshire (1) John Watkinson, Brook Park, Northop; (2) Horace Mayhew, Broughton Hall (3) Samuel Perks, Dolanog, Rhyl. The usual custom is to prick the first name on the list in each county. St. Mary's Rovers v. Crescent Swifts. This match was played on the Athletic's ground yesterday afternoon. The game commenced at 2-45 in grand Jstyle, and there was a fair atten- dance of spectators. The Swifts started with a strong breeze in their favour. After a fierce struggle the Rovers scored two goals in quick succession, then they had one or two pops at goal and at last added another two more goals to their score. The Swifts buckled to and scored a goal amid loud applause. When the interval came the score stood Rovers 4, Swifts 1, and that was the final result. The Rovers will very likely meet the Dyserth Warriors next Christmas at Dyserth. St. Mary's Social. On Monday evening, St Mary's third social was held at "New Era House, and an overflowing audience were present to witness the entertain- ment, which consisted of upwards of twenty tableaux, embracing scriptural and military scenes and events, also scenes from rural life, and some comic groups. The effect of the tableaux was still further enhanced by the bijou stage erected by Mr J Hibbitts. This stage has all accessories, and is suitable for all kinds of entertainments. To judge from the applause bestowed upon the numerous friends who formed the tableaux, they must have performed their various parts excel- lently well, encores being frequent. A concert succeeded the tableaux, in which selections were finely rendered by Misses White and Dillon, and Mr R Hanlon. Mrs Hatton also recited the poem "The Pied Piper of Hamelien" and her rendition received unstinted applause. Mr W Hibbitts contributed the incidental music to the tableaux, and Miss Mabel Hughes was a most able accompanist during the concert. Father Swift presided, and Father Lightbound was also present. During an interval Father Swift announced that the fourth social would consist of songs and excerpts from the operas. The National Acthem concluded a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Church House Concert. No more appropriate chairman of the above concert, which took place in the Church House last night, could have been found than Mr W J P Storey, the popular president of the Rhyl Choral Society. At the outset of what proved to be a. highly successful concert, he explained the object for which it had been arranged, namely, the assistance of the Church House funds, which just now are greatly needed in order to render the room spick and span for the sale of work to be held there early in December. The Rev T Jenkins deserves praise for the excellent programme he had compiled. The contributors included Miss Davies, who opened with a pianoforte solo; Mr W Bulcock, who was announced to sing "Flight of ages and The scent of lilies .L\1is Florrie Davies, whose songs were When the heart is young and Oh, dry those tears," the latter being particularly well received; Miss May Hughes, violinist Mrs Tayleur, who was down for two songs, "Daffodils" and "The calico dress," the latter bein? demanded again Miss Blodwen Row- lands, vocalist; the Misses W and M Jones who gave a pianoforte duet; the Rev T Jenkins, whose contributions were highly appreciated, as were also the Rev Peter Jones', which included "Onee again" (encored); Mr Jenkins' songs com- prised "Ailsa mine," "My Uld Dutch" (an encore piece), and The admiral's broom." To- wards the close the Rev Thomas Lloyd expressed the thanks of the audience to the performers for the enjoyable treat they had afforded, also to the organiser (Mr Jenkins) and those who had in other ways helped to promote the success of the concert, notably the ticket sellers, and lastly, but by no means the least, to the Chairman. In Mr Storey, the Vicar said, they had a gentleman who took a lively interest in any movement calculated to further the welfare of the town, a characteristic which was still more true when applied to his sympathy with Church matters. The audience having testified in a hearty manner their apprecia- tion of the services of those to whom the Vicar had alluded, the Chairman briefly responded. The Bowling Club Secretaryship. At a special meeting of this club, held last even- ing, Mr Aidney presiding, the resignation of Mr Goodall, town surveyor, as secretary was tendered and accepted, Mr Fred Roberts being appointed in his stead. English Wesleyan Social. The weekly social took place last evening, and was given by Mrs Robert Jones, The Moorings. There was a large attendance and a good collection was realised.
